Is there any better for a race than Phillip Island? Well, given all the news at the weekend Steve and Gordo report from on the ground with the thoughts of the locals, the staff and the paddock on the bombshell news that MotoGP will move to Adelaide. Will WorldSBK follow? It certainly seems that way. On track, Nicolo Bulega was imperious as he starts his quest for global domination. The Aruba.it Ducati star man is a little more likeable than a bond villain and a hell of a rider. We break down his weekend which featured an incredible, almost unnecessarily, dominant performance in the wet conditions of Sunday. There are plenty of stories to follow this weekend. The first double podium for bimota since 1988 has confirmed the resurgence of Axel Bassani. His Sunday double will have given him a huge boast in confidence that this season he can be a closer challenger to his teammate, Alex Lowes. Lowes was one of the fallers in the wet conditions in Race 2 and we look at what caused many of the falls. The rise and fall of Independent Ducati's is set to be a big story this year. Steve said in our preview show that "on your good days you've got to take advantage of the package." Lorenzo Baldassarri certainly did that. The Italian, who refuses to acknowledge his season aboard a GMT94 Yamaha as a Superbike campaign, impressed the paddock this week. In testing he was quick but to withstand the pressure from Bassani in the closing stages of Race 1 was rewarded with his first career podium finish. Yari Montella had his first career front row and podium too. At BMW are the reigning World Champions in a tailspin? It depends on who you ask. That being said the two-day Portimao Test on March 9-10 will be critical for them. It was a weekend of highs and lows Miguel Oliveira. The rookie had everything thrown at him over the weekend. A superpole crash that relegated him to the back of the field was followed by two superb recovery rides in both conditions to leave him one point ahead of his teammate, Danilo Petrucci, in the standings. The performance gap between them seemed much higher this week. Yamaha's Xavi Vierge was the fastest man in blue this week but came away with zero points after a big crash in Race 1. Andrea Locatelli looked lost for most of the opening round but in wet conditions he found some confidence and came away fifth position. Thanks to Renthal Street for supporting the podcast.

Plus, why you won't find a great all-inclusive resort there (and why that's actually a good thing).Best for Families with Young Kids: Grand Cayman — Calm, shallow waters at Seven Mile Beach, Stingray City, the Cayman Turtle Centre, and short airport transfers make this the ultimate stress-free family getaway.Best for Adventure Seekers: Dominica — The Caribbean's most untouched island offers rainforest hikes, geothermal snorkeling at Champagne Reef, canyoning, whale watching, and dramatic volcanic landscapes.

Dale and Christophe discuss the February 1942 German U-boat attack on Aruba and why the island's Lago Oil and Transport Company refinery was a critical Allied fuel source, processing Venezuelan crude into high-octane aviation gasoline. They explain Operation Neuland, Germany's coordinated Caribbean submarine offensive aimed at sinking tankers and crippling oil production, and detail U-156 (commanded by Werner Hartenstein) torpedoing multiple anchored tankers near San Nicolas Harbor, including the USS Pedernales, while attempting to shell the refinery. The shelling effort failed when the crew fired the deck gun with the muzzle cover still on, injuring crew and leaving the refinery largely intact; refinery workers activated emergency systems and production resumed quickly. The episode covers the psychological impact on Aruba, limited early defenses, casualties among sailors, and the broader campaign involving U-502, U-67, and U-129, which disrupted shipping across the Southern Caribbean. They describe the U-boat deck guns (8.8 cm and 10.5 cm) and the purpose of the muzzle plug, discuss convoy expansion, air patrols, blackouts/light discipline, and strengthened Caribbean bases and defenses that reduced U-boat effectiveness by 1943. The hosts emphasize logistics and energy infrastructure as strategic targets, industrial resilience, hemispheric defense cooperation, and how Caribbean oil supported later Allied operations, including aviation over Normandy. The episode ends with a “Hero Card” honoring Specialist Robert E. Hall Jr. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US Army Reserve 467th Engineer Battalion, killed by a suicide car bomb at a gate in Iraq on June 28, 2005, and provides contact info for the podcast via email, X/Twitter, and Discord.

In deze editie van Nieuws van de Week bespreken Rogier van Bemmel, Ad Verbrugge en Jelle van Baardewijk de geopolitieke en maatschappelijke verschuivingen die Europa en Nederland raken. Van de versnelde federalisering van de EU tot de schokkende onthullingen rond Jeffrey Epstein, en van de demonisering van Forum voor Democratie tot de escalerende conflicten in Oekraïne en het Midden-Oosten. Europa lijkt in een stroomversnelling te zitten: een Europees leger en een geïntegreerde kapitaalmarkt worden gepresenteerd als noodzakelijk antwoord op de veranderende wereldorde, maar critici zoals Bart de Wever waarschuwen dat we hiermee "de afgrond in gaan". Ondertussen zorgt de vrijgave van de Epstein-documenten voor schokgolven, waarbij netwerken blootgelegd worden die verder reiken dan gedacht. In eigen land wordt het politieke debat steeds grimmiger, met spotprenten en aanvallen op FVD die volgens Verbrugge een dieperliggend legitimiteitsprobleem van de gevestigde orde maskeren. Tot slot analyseren de heren de rol van Trump in de mogelijke beëindiging van de oorlog in Oekraïne en het risico op verdere escalatie tussen Israël en Iran.Steun DNWMaak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld mogelijk.

For 17 years, Heather L. Arnold has been studying the archaeological record uncovering evidence of an ancient race of Giants who inhabited the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao nearly 7,000 years ago. When Heather moved from the island of Manhattan to the Island of Aruba to start her own tour company, her quest to provide historically accurate tours for her clients led her down a path of research shrouded by mystery. Through extensive investigations, field expeditions, explorations, and interviews, Heather determined that the true, rich history of the islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, had been systematically repressed, and vehemently denied. Join us as we dive in to all of the secrets Heather has found! Heather has appeared on several television shows, podcasts, radio programs, and conferences, and her research is cited in several published works of fellow researchers, as well as entered into the Aruba National Archives. She recently moved back to the island of Aruba, where she continues her research while joyfully raising her daughter, who is of Aruban descent., "Mysterious Aruba: Giants, Dwarves, Dinosaurs, and Bigfoot," will be available this year on Amazon.〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

Lighting Black skin isn't complicated - but it is often taught wrong. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we break down how to photograph darker skin tones beautifully, accurately, and intentionally. From highlights and contrast to common lighting mistakes photographers make, this is a must-listen conversation for anyone serious about portrait photography. Learn better lighting Create stronger images Photograph people more honestly For decades, photography education, film stock, and digital camera technology have been built around a narrow definition of "correct" exposure - one that often fails Black and darker-skinned subjects. The result? Images that lack depth, nuance, and respect for the full spectrum of skin tones. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we dive deep into the art, science, and responsibility of lighting Black-skinned subjects properly. This is not about shortcuts or presets - it's about understanding light, skin, and intention.

Four days of testing on the Iberian Peninsula gets underway this week at Jerez. Two days of action will get underway at the Southern Spanish circuit on Wednesday before the paddock moves to Portimao. Iker Lecuona's move to the Aruba.it Ducati squad will see the Spaniard armed with the best bike on the grid and a team looking for their star man of the future. Could it be Lecuona? If he can perform well this year he'll be in the pound seats to be the man at Ducati if Nicolo Bulega moves to MotoGP. If Iker underperforms the Italian squad will look elsewhere to a host of out of contract MotoGP riders. The pressure won't ramp up for a few rounds but Lecuona needs to hit the ground running in 2026. Miguel Oliviera has already made the move from MotoGP to WorldSBK but what can we expect from him this year? Steve and Gordo breakdown his prospects and why this test is important for him and his new crew chief, Andrew Pitt. Bringing with him a wealth of experience as a rider and enginner Pitty is a wildcard in the mix at BMW. He's the man that could unlock potential from the package and give Miguel an extra gear compared to his teammate, Danilo Petrucci. The intra-team battle at BMW is set to be intriguing with the experienced Michael van der Mark in the shadows as test rider and a good yardstick to judge their performances on this week. At Honda Jake Dixon will be back in action and out to prove that lessons have been learned since his last days on the Fireblade. Three crashes were a blot on the November copy book for the British rider and it'll be interesting to see how his pace fares this week. After a raft of injuries in recent years for Lecuona Honda are already down a man with his replacement, Somkiat Chantra, ruled out of action after fracturing his forearm. Jonathan Rea was always scheduled to test this week for the Developement Team but will he now be seen as a potential replacement for Chantra at Round 1? Ryan Vikers and Tetsuta Nagashima are the other options. At bimota the biggest change is personnel. Axel Bassani has a new crew chief for 2026 with Uri Pallares rejoining the Provec run operation. The Italian rider has shown flashes of potential on the bimota but needs to make a step forward this year. Will changing crew chiefs bring with it a change of fortunes? It looks like bimota will only run Alex Lowes for a single day of this test. They also saved a day in November for the British rider. Is that a way to allocate the test dates more evenly throughout the campaign? Testing is always a chance to run the rule over rider changes. No change will be more significant than Alvaro Bautista joning Barni Racing. The double champion has a brand new bike for 2026 and the improved Ducati V4R might be exactly what he needs to be back on top. The fight for top Independent Rider honours this year should be led by Bautista but Jerez will give us a chance to see him in his new colours and on his new mount. There's lots to talk about as every in WorldSBK and we'll keep you up to date throughout the campaign!

Kelsey chats with Jen (@diveintopoints on Instagram) from Wisconsin, who lives on a hobby farm with her husband and three kids (a 6 year old daughter and 4 year old twin boys). Jen, her family, and her parents headed to San Diego in October 2025 staying at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, booked on points.In this episode, Jen shares about the waterslides and pools their kids couldn't get enough of, plus beach time at Mission Beach, beautiful sunset views, and their favorite moments at SeaWorld and aboard the USS Midway. Quick note: our connection dropped at the very end of recording, so Jen's answer to the final Trip Tales question is here in the show notes. If someone out there is considering this trip, what is it about San Diego and the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay that would make you say: Just Book It? I'd say just book it because you can't beat an easy trip to soak up the sunshine, slip down waterslides and enjoy a family friendly resort.

Dino Toppmöller ist Geschichte in Frankfurt. Wir begrüßen alle Hörer zur gemeinsamen Aufarbeitungssitzung und besprechen, wie wichtig Trainer-DNA ist, warum sich Kwasniok ins Fäustchen lacht, und was Container-Willi damit zu tun hat. Außerdem widmen wir uns ausführlich dem Finale der Afrikameisterschaft und versuchen, Ordnung in die einzelnen Szenen zu bekommen, von Handtuch-Dieben über missglückte Panenkas bis hin zu einem siegreichen Kölner. Obendrein loben wir überraschenderweise die FIFA für ein Turnier, in dem Ungarn und Aruba spielen. Und wir müssen kurz über die Polizei in Berlin sprechen. David hat sich etwas mit dem Aus von Oliver Glasner bei Crystal Palace beschäftigt, sowie der Frage, ob er sich die falschen Vereine aussucht. Nicht fehlen darf natürlich auch eine ausführliche Diskussion um die richtige Streichbewegung bei Butter, Enzos Ärger über unsymmetrischen Gouda sowie Davids grammatische Hinweise für schottisches Gälisch. Eher unverhofft tauchen wir zum Finale in einen wirren Fiebertraum, als wir „Ball des Todes“ weiterlesen. Ein Mannschaftskapitän hat ein seltsames Klingelschild, zu viele Zimmer und ein mysteriöses Bild an der Wand. Aber als dann Martin, Holger, Norma, Winfried und Irene auftauchen, und obendrein auch noch Anke unkt, blicken wir nicht mehr ganz durch. Viel Spaß! Werde auch DU Funfriend!

Brasil quer ser potência turística, mas hoje recebe menos turistas internacionais que Peru e República Dominicana, mesmo tendo Amazônia, Pantanal, litoral gigante e cidades históricas. Ao mesmo tempo, o turismo já responde por quase 8% do PIB e dos empregos do país e é movido, em mais de 90%, pelo brasileiro viajando dentro do próprio Brasil. Como é que um setor tão grande segue sendo tratado só como “férias” e não como política econômica, urbana e ambiental? Neste episódio do Mamilos, Ju Wallauer e Cris Bartis recebem Mariana Aldrigue, pesquisadora de turismo há 25 anos, professora da USP e ex-responsável pela área de inteligência da Embratur, e Ana Carla Fonseca, economista e urbanista, fundadora da Garimpo de Soluções, referência em economia criativa, cultura, cidades e desenvolvimento. Juntas, elas ajudam a responder: o que o turismo representa hoje para o Brasil e o que ele poderia ser se fosse levado a sério como estratégia de país?Ao longo da conversa, a gente fala sobre:a economia do turismo no mundo e no Brasil: participação no PIB, empregos, peso do turismo interno x internacional;o lugar do Brasil no ranking de destinos globais – e por que “turismo é o universo da manipulação estatística”;casos de países que se reposicionaram, como Peru, República Dominicana e Ruanda, usando soft power, gastronomia, audiovisual e campanhas como o Visit Rwanda;turismo, urbanismo e desenvolvimento territorial: projetos no Vale das Histórias e no Vale do Ribeira, autoestima de quem mora no território e risco de overtourism em lugares como Aruba;a diferença entre destinos “plastificados”, tipo parque temático (Gramado, Bonito, Balneário), e experiências mais conectadas com a comunidade e a cultura local, como o nomadismo digital no Rio Grande do Norte (Pipa, São Miguel do Gostoso);a imagem do Brasil lá fora e a frase incômoda de Ricardo Freire: “o pior embaixador do Brasil é o brasileiro”;e, no fim, uma chuva de hacks de viagem: como escolher destino sem cair em roubada, entender alta e baixa temporada, usar bem o mapa de chuvas e não ser enganado por “promoção imperdível” de passagem aérea.Se você se interessa por turismo no Brasil, viagens, economia do turismo, cidades, desenvolvimento regional, turismo sustentável, overtourism, nomadismo digital e planejamento de viagem, este episódio é pra ouvir com atenção – antes de comprar a próxima passagem.INSIDER: Se você curte o Mamilos, dá pra apoiar o podcast até na hora de renovar o guarda-roupa A Insider tá com uma condição especial pra nossa comunidade — aquelas peças confortáveis, tecnológicas e que duram muito mais tempo no uso do dia a dia. Desconto exclusivo pra ouvintes do Mamilos:Cupom de desconto: MAMILOS

This episode: The first real-world activation of the Garmin Autoland system, the E‑7 Wedgetail networked airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform, the flu season impact on crews, an airline captain stands up for exhausted flight attendants, and airlines with the largest fleets. Additionally, airport modernization and the Dulles people movers, the infrastructure needed to support the growth of personal air vehicles, and containment systems for lithium battery thermal runaway. Aviation News Autoland Saves King Air, Everyone Safe, FAA, NTSB Launch Probes On December 20, 2025, a Super King Air (N479BR) operated by Buffalo River Aviation experienced an in-flight emergency after departing from Aspen, Colorado (KASE) on a FAR Part 91 reposition flight. No passengers were on board. Climbing through 23,000ft MSL, the aircraft experienced a rapid, uncommanded loss of pressurization. The aircraft was equipped with Garmin Aviation’s latest Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and Autoland systems, automatically engaged when the cabin altitude exceeded the prescribed safe levels. The system selected a suitable airport per Garmin criteria (KBJC, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport), navigated to it, and landed safely. See: NTSB News Talk Episode 20: Garmin Autoland Emergency Landing: First King Air Save Buffalo River Aviation Statement Regarding Colorado Emergency Landing Image courtesy Garmin. Boeing's $724 million radar plane lives on, despite Pentagon efforts to kill it The E‑7 Wedgetail program is designed to replace the legacy E‑3 Sentry/AWACS-type aircraft (Airborne Warning And Control System) with a modern, networked airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform. The E-7 is designed to provide long-range, 360° air and maritime surveillance using an electronically scanned array radar mounted on a Boeing 737 airframe. It's intended to serve as an airborne battle management node, coordinating fighters, surface units, and ground-based air defenses. The Pentagon wants to cancel the purchase of two prototype E-7 Wedgetail jets, but Congress refuses to do so. In fact, Congress provided $847 million in additional funding for the two prototypes. Major Radio Failure Paralyzes Greek Airspace A major failure of aviation radio communications across Greece led to a temporary shutdown of Greek airspace, grounding or diverting flights nationwide for several hours and causing knock-on disruption across Europe. The collapse of radio frequencies in the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR) forced authorities to halt departures and arrivals until communications were partially restored. Travelers stranded in Caribbean as US military operation sends airlines scrambling to add flights A US military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro led to a temporary FAA closure of Caribbean airspace, causing more than 425 flight cancellations and stranding thousands of travelers across islands including Puerto Rico, Anguilla, St. Maarten, and Aruba. Airlines are now restoring service and adding extra capacity, with most commercial restrictions lifted and operations gradually normalizing. Alaska Airlines Captain Sues Boeing Over 737Max Door Plug Incident Alaska Airlines captain Brandon Fisher has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Boeing and subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems, alleging they tried to make him a scapegoat for the January 5, 2024, mid‑air door plug blowout on Flight 1282. He claims Boeing falsely suggested the incident was due to maintenance or crew error, despite later NTSB findings that pointed to Boeing's inadequate training, guidance, and oversight in its manufacturing processes. Fisher says he has suffered “profound physical and mental repercussions” since the blowout, describing ongoing deterioration linked to emotional injury. Alaska Airlines Hits New All Time Record of 540+ Flight Attendants Going Sick With Carrier Struggling to Operate Full Schedule Flight attendants and pilots are calling out sick in great numbers as the flu season takes hold. Alaska Airlines reports that 540 flight attendants are out. Meanwhile, Frontier, JetBlue, and Spirit have activated contingency plans. In an internal memo, Spirit Airlines said, “Our reserve levels are virtually the same as they have been since 2023, but during this holiday, our sick calls have exceeded previous periods by nearly 250% on some days.” Weather delays and ATC shortages have compounded the problem. A memo reviewed by PYOK explained that nearly 20% of the airline's flight attendants called out sick just before the New Year. My Crew Is Done: United Airlines Captain Refuses to Push Tired Flight Attendants And One Passenger Thanks Him For The Delay FAA regulations generally limit a flight attendant's maximum scheduled duty day to 14 hours on domestic flights. With an augmented crew (adding additional flight attendants), duty can be scheduled beyond 14 hours but is capped at 20 hours. This PYOK article relates the observations of a passenger who saw a United Airlines Captain refuse the attempts of the ground crew to keep the timed-out flight attendants on the boarded plane while another cabin crew could be found. With the FAs exiting the plane, the passengers would have to deplane. Top 10 airlines with the biggest fleets in 2026 United Airlines has the largest fleet with 1,050 single-aisle and widebody aircraft. American Airlines follows with 1,023 aircraft, then Delta Airlines (989), Southwest Airlines (810), China Southern Airlines (708), China Eastern Airlines (679), Skywest Airlines (600), Air China (531), Turkish Airlines (399), and Ryanair (349).

Welcome to the first episode of 2026 where Rachel is talking to you from Aruba. This is her first time here since 2022 - which was a very complicated trip. She talks about her feelings from the last trip, the difficulties her and Dennis faced, and the feeling of rejection she had. This time around, things are different - but not uncomplicated. Rachel has realized there are still emotions that need feeling, chapters that need closing, and business that needs to be finished once and for all. Can she repair things that were once broken? Can your heart truly recover from such a loss? Take a trip down memory lane in this episode and you may realize - sometimes all it takes is a little bit of time.

Brasil quer ser potência turística, mas hoje recebe menos turistas internacionais que Peru e República Dominicana, mesmo tendo Amazônia, Pantanal, litoral gigante e cidades históricas. Ao mesmo tempo, o turismo já responde por quase 8% do PIB e dos empregos do país e é movido, em mais de 90%, pelo brasileiro viajando dentro do próprio Brasil. Como é que um setor tão grande segue sendo tratado só como “férias” e não como política econômica, urbana e ambiental? Neste episódio do Mamilos, Ju Wallauer e Cris Bartis recebem Mariana Aldrigue, pesquisadora de turismo há 25 anos, professora da USP e ex-responsável pela área de inteligência da Embratur, e Ana Carla Fonseca, economista e urbanista, fundadora da Garimpo de Soluções, referência em economia criativa, cultura, cidades e desenvolvimento. Juntas, elas ajudam a responder: o que o turismo representa hoje para o Brasil e o que ele poderia ser se fosse levado a sério como estratégia de país? Ao longo da conversa, a gente fala sobre: a economia do turismo no mundo e no Brasil: participação no PIB, empregos, peso do turismo interno x internacional; o lugar do Brasil no ranking de destinos globais – e por que “turismo é o universo da manipulação estatística”; casos de países que se reposicionaram, como Peru, República Dominicana e Ruanda, usando soft power, gastronomia, audiovisual e campanhas como o Visit Rwanda; turismo, urbanismo e desenvolvimento territorial: projetos no Vale das Histórias e no Vale do Ribeira, autoestima de quem mora no território e risco de overtourism em lugares como Aruba; a diferença entre destinos “plastificados”, tipo parque temático (Gramado, Bonito, Balneário), e experiências mais conectadas com a comunidade e a cultura local, como o nomadismo digital no Rio Grande do Norte (Pipa, São Miguel do Gostoso); a imagem do Brasil lá fora e a frase incômoda de Ricardo Freire: “o pior embaixador do Brasil é o brasileiro”; e, no fim, uma chuva de hacks de viagem: como escolher destino sem cair em roubada, entender alta e baixa temporada, usar bem o mapa de chuvas e não ser enganado por “promoção imperdível” de passagem aérea. Se você se interessa por turismo no Brasil, viagens, economia do turismo, cidades, desenvolvimento regional, turismo sustentável, overtourism, nomadismo digital e planejamento de viagem, este episódio é pra ouvir com atenção – antes de comprar a próxima passagem.
