Samantha Kell awakens from a haunting nightmare only to find herself further adrift—emotionally and geographically—as the Invenios arrives in the Azores. While the crew docks to receive their new submersible and pilot, tensions escalate between Tulley and Samantha, pushing her to make a desperate ultimatum: help her recover Dominique and the PX, or be left behind as time runs out. Meanwhile, Oberlin and Tulley embark on a seemingly simple cheese errand… that turns into a full-on stampede. Literally. In the cobblestone streets of Ponta Delgada, a drunken bar brawl, a case of mistaken identity, and a cheese-crazed bull converge in a chaotic comedy of errors, culminating in the explosive arrival of Yuki Yamamoto—our hard-drinking, sharp-punching, and unexpectedly heroic new sub pilot. But as the bar clears and the dust settles, Samantha strikes a deal Tulley can't refuse, and the Invenios is finally cleared to return to the depths of the Atlantic to finish what began on the Veloscora.

GB2RS News Sunday the 27th of July The news headlines: RSGB confirms more speakers for its Convention in October Get involved with the RSGB LoRa high-altitude balloon challenge The RSGB releases a high-contrast logbook to improve accessibility The RSGB has shared details of more presentations that you can enjoy at its Convention in October. If you'd like to broaden your technical knowledge, you'll enjoy presentations by Bob Burns, G3OUU, on ‘Getting the most from an oscilloscope' and ‘Ladder crystal filter design'. As part of the Society's focus on supporting modern amateur radio operating practices, Paul Galwas, M0WLG, will be discussing ‘Can we ‘DX' over an IoT mesh?'. The comprehensive programme of speakers also includes Dr Marcus Walden, G0IJZ, who will explain the numerical modelling of the historical Grimeton VLF antenna, and Paul Beaumont, G7VAK, who will take ‘A brief look at Number Stations: 1950 to the present'. With even more captivating and thought-provoking speakers already confirmed, you'll need to purchase a ticket to guarantee attendance. Buy your tickets before Monday, the 11th of August, to ensure you receive early-bird ticket pricing. Tickets are available to purchase via rsgb.org/convention National Coding Week takes place in the third week of September, and the RSGB is once again dedicating a whole month to amateur radio and coding activities. As part of the Society's strategy to encourage practical skills development, it is inviting you to take part in its LoRa high-altitude balloon challenge. The project has been developed by the RSGB Outreach team and takes place on Saturday, the 20th of September. The balloon will be equipped with a LoRa digipeater, and your challenge is to follow the instructions provided and build a LoRa tracker. If your tracker build is successful, it will beam up packets to the airborne relay, which will transmit them to a local i-gate. Your goal is to get your signal the furthest distance from the launch. Anyone can enter, but to win one of the prizes, you need to be an RSGB member. Get involved as a single operator or as a team in your RSGB-affiliated club. The RSGB is delighted that Moonraker is sponsoring this event and will award a £200 Moonraker voucher to the winner of each category. Find out how to get involved with this exciting LoRa event by going to rsgb.org/lora-balloon The RSGB is proud to announce the release of a new high-contrast logbook designed to support amateur radio operators with visual impairments or learning difficulties. Responding to feedback from members and accessibility advocates, the RSGB developed the logbook with wider spacing and a high-contrast black-and-yellow design to improve ease of use. This release reflects the RSGB's wider commitment to improving accessibility across all areas of the Society and amateur radio as a whole. The organisation continues to explore ways to make the hobby more inclusive and user-friendly for all participants. This version will be available through Amazon and is expected to be a useful addition for both seasoned operators and newcomers looking for a more accessible logging option. As part of its long-term vision, the RSGB is looking to recruit a dedicated team to assess and enhance accessibility throughout the Society and help shape a more inclusive future for amateur radio. If you're interested in contributing to this important initiative, please email RSGB Board Director Nathan Nuttall, 2M0OCC, via 2m0occ@rsgb.org.uk Since the launch of its DMR project in May, the RSGB Outreach team is delighted that four schools and one homeschool have signed up. The project aims to help young people get on the air and build their confidence in making QSOs. Each of the successful applicants will be loaned a TYT DMR handheld radio and a Pi-Star-based hotspot. The RSGB Youth Chair and Youth Champion for Schools, Chris Aitken, MM0WIC, is supporting two new school amateur radio clubs that have chosen this as an entry-level activity for their club members. DMR is particularly useful in a school club scenario where antenna placement is a challenge and can be easily deployed, giving young people access to the world. During the summer holidays, the DMR handsets will be used at the West Sussex International Jamboree with Regional Representative 10, Simon Harris, G4WQG, attending the event and Wick High School Radio Club member Jacob, MM7IFL, supporting remotely via DMR. Listen out for further updates after the summer when the RSGB plans to get a youth net operational on Brandmeister Talk Group 23554. The net aims to encourage young operators to get on the air and become comfortable with QSO structure and general rag-chewing. If you want to start a school club or are interested in being part of the DMR project, email Chris via youthchampion.school@rsgb.org.uk The prospect of a USA constellation of 240 commercial satellites that would use 430 to 440MHz for wideband control and telemetry has prompted an unprecedented response from the amateur radio community to a Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, consultation. FCC Proceeding 25-201 would see AST SpaceMobile utilise much of 430 to 440MHz for downlinks, as well as a series of ground stations around the world. The RSGB and several other IARU member societies, along with the ARRL and over 2,000 individuals, have submitted comments to this consultation. The IARU itself has also issued a statement on the matter. Links for this, including the RSGB response, can be found on the RSGB website. Go to rsgb.org/spectrumforum and then choose the ‘Papers and consultations' option in the right-hand menu. Following the main submission deadline of the 21st of July, the FCC process has further phases to go through.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 24th of July It was a bit of a mixed bag last week. The first half saw settled geomagnetic conditions, but from the 22nd of July, we had a disturbance thanks to output from a solar coronal hole. This saw the Kp index rise to 4.67 and ultimately 5. The stream from the Sun reached around 730 kilometres per second, while the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field, or IMF, was mostly neutral with a few brief periods when it pointed slightly south. So, its effects were perhaps not as bad as they could have been. The coronal hole has now rotated out of view, so we may have some better days. Meanwhile, the solar flux index has been in the range of 140 to 150, which is pretty good. There were no M-class or higher solar flares over the past week, which is unusual. So overall, HF propagation was humming, at least until the Kp index hit 5. Maximum useable frequencies, or MUFs, over a 3,000km path during daylight continue to be around 21MHz, but often dip to 18MHz at times. Nighttime conditions can be variable. If the 14MHz band isn't open for you, try 10MHz. Earlier in the week, some daytime tests with WSPR on the 20m band saw stations logged from Australia and the far west of Canada. DP0POL, the Polarstern research vessel doing work in the Artic, was also logged. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index may decline slightly to be in the range of 130 to 135. Geomagnetic conditions are predicted to be settled until the 1st of August, when the Kp index could rise to 4. This period of unsettled conditions, with reduced MUFs, could last until the 4th of August. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO We will see the return of a weak ridge of high pressure today. This will last until the middle of the coming week. The second half of the week will be a little more unsettled with some occasional spells of rain. This suggests that some Tropo is possible, before a gradual swap over to rain scatter. However, high pressure near the Azores may still influence the western side of Britain. This week will see the peak of two meteor showers, the Alpha Capricornids and Delta Aquariids. These are worth checking out, if only to get your practice time in before one of the major showers of the year – the Perseids on the 12th and 13th of August. Barely a day passes without some auroral alert, and this can be an exciting mode. Several good indicators are available, such as when the Kp index is above 5, or watery-sounding signals on the 40 and 20m bands. If you hear these, try looking north on the 6, 4 or 2m bands. Sporadic-E continues to be mentioned on the clusters somewhere in Europe on most days. But remember that it's a very localised mode and is rarely available for everyone at the same time. The best way to track it down is to use the clusters and a good list of beacons, to see who your ‘locals' are working on FT8. It's a very hit-and-miss mode. Meteor activity is a good indicator, whereas a high Kp index is a bad one. Whether it happens is often a balance between many opposing components. So, even a potentially good day may not be good where you are. The good news is that the last openings of the summer can occur into the first week of September. Moon declination is still positive but going negative again on Tuesday, the 29th. Moon windows and peak elevation will reduce. Path losses are rising now as we are past perigee. 144MHz sky noise starts the coming week low but will rise to moderate by the weekend. And that's all from the propagation team this week.
Welcome, Lara Lourenco Harrington, AKA Lara Harrington, a re-emerging artist and supporter of the arts in the South Coast. She is the daughter of immigrants from Terceira and Faial, "two of the most beautiful islands in the Azores." Her journey to connect more deeply with her heritage took a significant turn in 2011 when she became involved with the Azorean Whaleboats in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Lara's involvement opened doors that allowed her to immerse herself deeply in the culture, "particularly through participating in international regattas with Pico Island and Faial." Through these experiences, she has built amazing friendships and discovered incredible opportunities to share the Islands' beauty and charm from a local perspective. Her passion for the Açores (Azores in English) continues to grow as she brings the essence of these islands to those around her. "This journey of bridging a creative community between New Bedford and the Azores was inspired by my background in the arts and my commitment to cultural exchange." Lara Harrington received her Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from the Massachusetts College of Art in 2000. After building and leaving a successful business in fitness, she is excited about her new adventure, Hotel Papel, which includes an art residency program! Lara spoke with The Artists Index's cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier, recently. She spoke about her passion, heritage, life, and developing journey as a working musician.

En el episodio de esta semana, Roger Vivé nos cuenta las aventuras de su reciente viaje fotográfico a las Islas Azores. > TALLERES DE FOTOGRAFÍA Ya están disponibles las fechas para los Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje que formarán parte de mi oferta formativa. Si te apetece acompañarme en nuevas aventuras fotográficas, respetando todas las medidas de seguridad, echa un vistazo. Plazas limitadas. Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje con Rafa Irusta VIAJE FOTOGRÁFICO A LAS ISLAS AZORES En este episodio de Distancia Hiperfocal, Roger Vivé y yo hablamos en detalle sobre su reciente viaje fotográfico a la isla de São Miguel, en el archipiélago de las Azores. Compartimos su experiencia tanto desde el punto de vista logístico como creativo, repasando aspectos clave que pueden ayudarte a planificar tu propio viaje fotográfico a este destino sorprendente. PUNTOS CLAVE TRATADOS EN EL EPISODIO Organización del viaje: Roger viajó en junio con vuelo directo desde Barcelona. São Miguel es una isla verde, volcánica y con buena infraestructura. La elección del alojamiento fue clave: un hotel bien ubicado en el centro de la isla, ideal para tener acceso rápido a varias localizaciones. Equipo fotográfico y transporte: Llevó su Sony A7R5 con tres objetivos (16-35 mm, 24-105 mm y 100-400 mm), además de filtros, dron, portátil y cargadores. Facturó el trípode y parte del equipaje, pero siempre llevó consigo la mochila fotográfica. Recomendamos usar mochilas ligeras y considerar localizadores como AirTags. Aplicaciones utilizadas: Usó PhotoPills para planificar salidas y puestas de sol, y Google Maps para estudiar distancias y puntos clave. También Apple Maps para navegación in situ y Drone Assist para conocer zonas restringidas al vuelo de drones. Movilidad y alojamiento: Alquiló coche con seguro a todo riesgo, lo que facilitó moverse por la isla. Las carreteras están en buen estado y el tráfico es muy fluido. El hotel, con piscina y desayuno buffet, aportó comodidad extra en un viaje que no fue 100% fotográfico. Localizaciones destacadas: Sete Cidades: el lugar que más le impresionó, pero que también le generó un bloqueo creativo por no conseguir la imagen que tenía en mente. Lagoa do Fogo: espectacular y muy accesible. Isla de Vila Franca: ideal para fotos con dron. Furnas y sus caldeiras: zonas volcánicas con actividad termal. Miradores: recomendados el Miradouro José Furtado y el de Pedras Negras. Playas como Mosteiros o Beira Mar: interesantes para explorar texturas y rocas. Reflexión sobre la presión creativa: Roger nos compartió cómo una imagen idealizada puede condicionar toda la experiencia, generando frustración si no se consigue. Una lección muy valiosa sobre no caer en la trampa de la expectativa y mantener una mente abierta durante el viaje. Fotografía con dron: São Miguel es un lugar excelente para volar. Recomendamos revisar mapas de zonas restringidas antes del viaje. El dron fue protagonista en la mayoría de sus tomas y permitió crear panorámicas espectaculares. Selección y copias de seguridad: Realizó backups diarios de las fotos del dron, y a la vuelta, volcó todo en su flujo habitual de Lightroom. Prioriza la organización, limpieza y edición paulatina de sus imágenes, y gestiona su archivo con copias dobles en disco externo. CONCLUSIONES Las Islas Azores, y en concreto São Miguel, ofrecen un destino ideal para fotografía de paisaje: belleza natural, poco turismo y buenas condiciones de trabajo. Con una planificación equilibrada y una mentalidad flexible, se pueden conseguir imágenes potentes y disfrutar plenamente de la experiencia fotográfica.

Interview starts at 33:05 Michael and Nick join us to chat about Atlantis, Atlantica - Michael's docuseries and the Azores as another location. Michael talks about the 8 years of work, working at Giza, scanning techniques, shipwrecks, visual effects and this growing community. Then we get into what they have found of the coast of Spain. Plato, underwater currents, old explorers, ancient mining, Templars are also all discussed. Since 2015, Michael has spearheaded multidisciplinary underwater and satellite expeditions along southern Spain's Atlantic coast with Merlin Burrows. Their explorations have uncovered concentric ruins off Cádiz that mirror Plato's description of Atlantis—circular city walls, a central temple, harbor structures—using sonar, LiDAR, dives, and lab-validated ancient concrete samples His efforts are captured in the three-part docuseries Atlantica: The Discovery of Atlantis, premiered at the South International Series Festival in Cádiz with a 10-minute standing ovation. The series assembles archaeological, geological, and historical evidence suggesting Atlantis may lie buried off the Andalusian coast http://www.ingeniofilms.com/films/atlantica/ https://www.instagram.com/michaeldonnellan_atlantica/ Nick Spratt.

Join Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin for Episode 379 of Let Me Tell You Why You Wrong, where they blend backyard reality with political insider drama. They open with life in Pike County under blistering summer skies—Ken's just marked his 22nd wedding anniversary while juggling his daughter's Georgia Tech orientation (an $85 registration fee!) and the sticker shock of a $700 parking pass (Uber to the rescue, maybe). From there they steer into Atlanta's frenzy—$400-plus tickets to the MLB All-Star Game, Beyoncé's surprise country-music stop, and a preview of Whiskey Myers in Macon—before diving headlong into Georgia's next big showdown. Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones finally threw his hat into the governor's ring after the filing deadline, self-funding a $10 million launch video that features a surprise walk-on by Donald Trump and fond memories of his days kicking around the Bulldog football field. Dave and Ken unpack Jones's platform—abolishing the state income tax, fighting fentanyl, barring trans girls from girls' sports, and ending movie-industry tax credits—and compare it to Attorney General Chris Carr's $3.5 million war chest, the ever-teasing Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other potential contenders like Brad Raffensperger and Mike Collins. No Georgia episode would be complete without scandal, and this week the Frost family of Newnan steals the spotlight. Once major Republican donors, Brandt Frost 4 and his son Brandt Frost 5 now face an SEC civil suit accusing them of fleecing roughly 300 investors out of $140 million through their “Patriot Funds/Dollars” program, promising implausible 12–18% returns on risky loans while allegedly funneling $19 million into their own pockets (including a $320 000 rental home) and dumping $570 000 into political contributions. They round out the show with a look at federal policy and public-health alarms: DHS's sudden end to the 19-year shoe-removal rule, Pam Bondi's flip-flop on the Epstein “no list,” an “activist judge” stay blocking Planned Parenthood defunding, and the routine—but controversial—purge of 478 000 Georgia voter-registration records. On the home front, one in three U.S. teens now carries pre-diabetes, a Delta A330's engine failure led to a 30-hour layover in the Azores, and Washington County's DUI cover-up—where private hires of a certain public defender triggered wholesale dismissals—remains a cautionary tale. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and undeniably Georgia, it's another roller-coaster hour with Dave and Ken.

What is the future of Digital Nomadism, Remote Work and Work from Anywhere? And should ASEAN destinations do more than issue Digital Nomad Visas to integrate remote workers into tourism economies? And who, actually, are digital nomads. Are they remote workers? Are they laptop backpackers? Is digital nomadism a lifestyle? Is it a tourism segment? What is borderless living? What are Micro-Societies? Why is global mobility developing as a hot topic? Are co-working and co-living compatible concepts for destination marketing? This week, Gary is joined by Milos Pelucha, Co-Founder of Destinova, and an advocate for remote work as a high-yield travel segment. Milos and Gary's conversation coincides with the climax of the 2025 Bansko Nomad Festival - the world's largest digital nomad gathering - in Bulgaria. We take a global journey through the critical issues of the remote working economy and the future of "borderless" tourism, from Armenia to China, Azores to Bhutan, Thailand to the French Alps, Morocco to Georgia and Vietnam to India. En route we breakdown the key components for destination marketers seeking to engage the fast-evolving 'work from anywhere' movement - which is becoming more organised and more dynamic.
It's time for the way-too-early Conference League 2025-26 preview! Except it really isn't too early - the 1st qualifying rounds start THIS WEEK if you can believe it. But we're starting off with the 5 "big league" clubs who start their journey in the playoff qualifying round (aka the final step before the League Phase): Nottingham Forest, Rayo Vallecano, Mainz, Strasbourg, and of course, the Conference League house band - Fiorentina. We take a look at what each club has to offer on and off the pitch, why we're so excited to watch them, and what order they should be ranked as tournament contenders. Then, we move on to some lesser known participants from all over the continent - and some off of it. We take pitstops in Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, Kosovo, the Faroe Islands, and the Azores, as we introduce (or reintroduce) some of our favorite stories from the upcoming qualifying rounds and debate which minnows could make a Cinderella run at the League Phase! Cheers Marc Schneider!

“You can be a gardener trying to work against nature… or you can try and surf the wave of how nature works.” Harnessing nature's intelligence and artificial intelligence together isn't just a good idea—it's how the future of regenerative land design will thrive. In this episode, we explore how one visionary designer has turned his passion for plant life, soil health, and sustainable farming into a system that helps landowners worldwide transform their property into high-vitality ecosystems. From the volcanic richness of the Azores to AI-powered plant mapping, the conversation covers deep principles of how to align with nature's laws for lasting abundance. Guest Mathieu Mehuys shares how he scaled his expertise from a family farm in Belgium to projects across three continents, aided by a 9-week masterclass and a custom AI tool that generates location-specific planting plans. He breaks down the “law of attraction” in plants, why most gardeners are unknowingly weakening their soil, and how his award-winning book codifies 12 universal laws of nature for every landowner to apply. Mathieu is an award-winning author and regenerative land designer. Raised on a farm, he holds a master's degree in landscape architecture and now teaches landowners how to design ecologically sound, AI-assisted gardens and farms through his book, masterclass, and international consultancy.

On São Miguel Island in the Azores, there is a decommissioned satellite communication Earth station featuring a 32-metre parabolic antenna. It was once integral to satellite communications, given its strategic mid-Atlantic location. Though it is not explicitly documented, we can assume it became redundant from the mid-1980s onward due to advancements in satellite communication technologies and the expansion of digital ground optical fibre networks. I chanced upon the station when I was travelling around São Miguel in March 2024. Though visibly pronounced, I had not come across anything about it in my research before visiting the island. I was struck by many things as I walked around its grounds and climbed up the structure. Foremost, how this technologically derelict site had become home to a plethora of birdlife and other creatures. This recording is taken in one of the chambers just below the main parabolic dish, where I found many birds nesting. The microphones are inside the chamber, and in this recording we hear the calls of the birds inside the chamber close to the microphones, as well as those that are perched on the external structure of the communications station, and those in flight around it. The strong winds of the day of the recording are also heard, which whistle through the crevices of the metal work into the recording site and at times rattle the structure. Recorded by Claire Matthews.
"The sonic landscape of this audio recording felt very familiar to me, reminding me of wind chimes in my childhood home, and the many feathery neighbors who wake me up in the morning with their cheerful chirps. Special thanks to my friend for their help." Abandoned tower in Sao Miguel, Azores reimagined by Anni Elea.

Send us a textEver wondered what it's like to lock eyes with a wild gorilla or swim alongside marine iguanas that snort salt to regulate their bodies? Jessica Kelly takes us behind the scenes of her fascinating career as a wildlife travel journalist and photographer, revealing how an unexpected path led her from psychology studies to documenting life on all seven continents.Jessica's story begins not with journalism school, but with a simple food blog called "It's Pop, Not Soda" that unexpectedly opened doors to food competitions and cookbook collaborations. When COVID claimed her event planning job, she transformed crisis into opportunity, taking over a travel section for a local newspaper focusing on nature-based destinations. The turning point came during a life-changing trip to Botswana during green season, where witnessing mothers with their baby elephants and lionesses hunting together left her forever changed. "It was just incredibly moving," Jessica reflects, "I felt like a different person after that trip."We dive deep into Jessica's most memorable wildlife encounters, from exploring the Galapagos Islands (where she insists everyone must snorkel) to trekking with gorillas in Rwanda and spotting tigers on safari in India. She offers practical wisdom on balancing healthy fear with respect when photographing powerful creatures, selecting ethical tour operators, and the gear she uses to capture her stunning images—from her Sony camera to her strategically chosen mini drone that skirts weight restrictions in many places. What distinguishes Jessica's approach is her authentic passion combined with journalistic persistence. She shares candidly about the less glamorous aspects of travel writing—the constant adaptation required, pitching stories for a year before getting a response, and finding unique angles when everyone on a press trip experiences the same activities. For those following in her footsteps or working with travel media, her advice is invaluable: allow time for organic discovery, lead with timely angles and never lose the excitement that makes each destination special.Follow Jessica's adventures on Instagram at AdventuresAreWaiting as she embarks on upcoming expeditions with National Geographic to Portugal's Azores, Alaska for grizzly bear photography and French Polynesia for her first scuba certification. Her story reminds us that the most rewarding paths are often the unexpected ones.Please take a moment to rate, review and subscribe to the Media in Minutes podcast here or anywhere you get your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/media-in-minutes/id1555710662
On December 5th, 1872, about 400 miles off the coast of the Azores, crew members on the British ship Dei Gratia spotted a ship adrift in the sea. The Captain of the ship was shocked to find that the unguided ship was the Mary Celeste, which had departed from NYC eight days before him, and had been well past-due to have arrived in Genoa, Italy.A small crew was sent to the ship. Below deck, items had been tossed around, and crewmen's belongings were still in their quarters. The only lifeboat on the ship was missing, and one of the pumps was disassembled. There was a large supply of food and drink, but not a soul on the ship to consume it. So what happened to the ten people who had been on board the Mary Celeste?

The end of the cruel Peace & the start of the desperate War.Based on ‘One In Ten' by FinalStand, adapted into 17 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels.A frightened Mother Mouse will devour her young; similarly, a frightened culture will devour its future.It wasn't like a magic force field bubble protected us until our 16th birthday. I couldn't recall all the times after I was 13 some woman asked me, or my Mother, when my 16th birthday would be. Back then, I didn't think much about it. In hindsight, those women were wondering when I would become legally sexually vulnerable. In way too many cases, women with access to teenage boys didn't wait.Even if they did,"It was my Aunt," Barabbas confessed. "She and her boss."You would think a sixteen, or seventeen, year old guy getting to sleep with a Milf would be a trip. It could be. For the boys with better developed empathy, you started to realize a woman you trusted was using your sexuality for their own advancement. Then you began feeling like a whore."She got me a job, but I quit after four months, you know,” he trailed off."Yeah," I sighed sympathetically."Yeah," Lowry snorted, "when the rest decided you should be putting out for free.""That was completely unnecessary," I glared at him."But true," he defied me."True," Barabbas agreed with a familiar degree of rejection."Mom flipped out when she figured out what Tamara; my sister; was doing," Pierre picked up his tale. "I was seventeen by that time. She helped pay for my college." We assumed the 'she' was his sister; the one who pimped him out."I hit one once," Lowry bragged. I found that somewhat difficult to believe."What happened?" Pierre asked."She kicked my ass," he chuckled. "Ex-military Reservist. Beat me like I had a cock." I read somewhere in the old days it was more common to say 'like a little bitch.' Now it was 'like I had a cock' because they didn't like teaching men to be 'too violent' aka how to defend ourselves.No one else felt like inquiring, so Barabbas did the deed."Go to the cops?""For what?" he shook his head. "I threw the first punch, and the second. Fucking Bitch. We both looked pretty rough, but I lost."Another pause."What was it like to hit one with your stick?" Lowry shot me a look."Good, damn good, and stupid. I mean, I could have ended up like you with a crowd of women on a subway kicking and stomping on me and I would have ended up in jail too," I related. "Still, it felt good, just to tell one to keep her hands to herself, ya know?" I got nods all around. We were all young, healthy and relatively handsome."Yeah, you could have gotten your ass kicked," Barabbas reminded me."In fact, one of the major reasons I didn't, gave me the pistol I'm carrying," I twitched it slightly. "The first time they came for me, I asked them ~ the Vanishers ~ to wait, and they did.""Why in the fuck would you do that?" Lowry blurted out, shocked and skeptical."At the time, I didn't trust them since I figured they were nothing more than another bunch of women telling me what to do. I wanted to use them to escape. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life serving them if it meant the same fucked-up existence I was currently living," I shared the enlightenment."What changed your mind?" Pierre's eyes lit up."I figured out their prime motivation, the nature of the conspiracy and that I had no rational chance to escape them," I answered. "Every angle I was figuring out, they had figured out years ago. On the plus side, their core philosophy requires them to engage men as equals for both biological and social reasons ~ which means they are the best game in town. In case you missed it, the Vanishers didn't 'vanish' me. I escaped on my own. They have agreed to join forces with my group; no lie.""Your group has a lot of girls," Lowry drolly noted."Lowry, exactly how was I going to recruit any male to my cause without dropping the entire Metropolitan G E D (Gender Enforcement Division) on me?""Flyers?" Barabbas joked softly."He's got a point," Pierre rallied to my cause. "As far as any of you have confessed, none of us had any guy, or girl, friends. It is why we were selected.""Okay, fine. Now what?" Lowry conceded to the consensus."We wake up tomorrow working toward equality," I huffed. "We are all going to have to learn to fight and shoot because the entire group is going to be in danger for some time to come. Society, as in Global Society, is going to come crashing down. And that means anarchy, lawlessness and barbarism before it violently spasms off into extinction.""We have lived our lives effectively as slaves, though no woman inside that house will admit it truly in their hearts. For the first time in our lives, we can change our futures. I'm sure if we surrender to whomever kills the others, they will enslave us once more and leave us with far fewer illusions about our status. Or, we can chose to fight and, if worst comes to worst, die free. I'm not going back to what I was. That means I will need to learn how to survive; and that means fighting. Not because I hate women, but because there are several I love and respect and I don't want to let them down ~ as their equal.""Tonight, think about what I've told you. Tomorrow morning, I hope you join up with us," I concluded my 'pep talk.'"And if we don't?" Lowry stared defiantly."That is something you are free to do too," I shrugged. "I'm not going to tell you what to do. Let's go back inside. It is late."We'd almost made it back when Lowry put a hand on my shoulder."Can I see the gun now?""This thing? Like this?" I half-turned, made eye contact then flick my eyes down to the pistol then back to him again."Yeah.""Have you ever handled a loaded firearm before?" I requested."Yeah, plenty of times, in my dreams," he mocked me."You are a moron," I felt my blood simmering. "This isn't a game, this (the pistol) isn't a toy, and you have not been paying attention." I put both hands on the pistol, removed the magazine then removed the chambered bullet. Lastly, ass-first, I handed him the empty pistol with my left hand while keeping the ammunition in my right."Moron, huh?" he chuckled. "Gonna give me the bullets?""No, no, I'm not going to give you the bullets because you don't know what you are doing. Unlike you, I actually have had a firearm lesson. More to the point, I won't give you a loaded firearm because I think I've stressed the lady, or ladies, watching over us right now enough for one night.""Huh?" Lowry and Barabbas echoed. Pierre looked around."Wes didn't keep us inside to play '20 Questions' for her own amusement. She kept us occupied so her other teammate, or teammates, could move to this side of the house, so they could watch over us while giving you three the delusion we were alone. They are professionals in camouflage gear with night-vision goggles, so unless they had to move rapidly through the underbrush, we weren't likely to detect them.""I played along because I felt it was necessary for you three to open up a little bit. Life is only going to get tougher over the next few months. None of us want to have a chat with heavily armed women staring over our shoulders, so I took us outside where it would appear we were alone," I explained."You lied to us," Lowry snipped."No. My words were true. What I did was allow you to deceive yourself as to our level of security and amount of company. I did what I did for the good of the group, regardless of gender, Gentlemen. It is how we all need to start thinking. Something else you might want to think about is: everyone I love is with me here today. A good number of people who decided getting in my way was a good thing aren't even alive anymore. I will gladly embrace any one of you as brothers. If you are an obstacle, I will fucking see you gone, one way or another; clear?""We are guys," Lowry insisted smugly. Old thinking: women protected men."I; don't; care," I glared back. "You may be a sperm-shooter, but inside me is the only surefire cure for the Gender Plague. I repeat: people I love, and there are several, are all alive today because I cared and took an active hand in their survival. My enemies are mostly dead. Being a man will save you from the women in there. It won't save you from me.""You'd kill us?" Pierre whispered."Pierre, my Mother died over a year ago. Where are your Mother and Sister? You don't give a damn about a single fucking human being and yet you expect me to trust you? Why?" I challenged him. "I've already proved to multiple people I can reach beyond my shell and give a fuck. Until you rejoin the Human Race, I value the rest of those battling alongside me far more than you, or anyone else regardless of whether they have a penis, or a vagina. I'm not going to snap your neck, stab, or shoot you. I'm simply not going to bother trying to save you. The World is doing a bang-up job of killing the rest of Humanity off, without my assistance.""I really ought to punch you," Lowry threatened."Give it your best shot," I took a step toward him. That wasn't what he, or I, was expecting. I put down my poor judgment and combative demeanor to exhaustion."Don't, guys," Barabbas interceded."You are an Asshole," Lowry snarled."And you are consistently ignoring reality," I snapped back. "For instance, we are not alone out here, plus we are also at the door." I knocked once. The door swung open to reveal a rather attentive and unhappy Wes Prince. I handed her the bullet and magazine."You were listening in?" Lowry turned his anger on her. Wes' eyes went from me, to him, out into the darkness then back to me, though her words were to Lowry."Yes. Of course I was listening in. I wouldn't call him an Asshole. I'd go for Smart-ass." To me, "Do you enjoy being annoyingly correct?""No. I'd be ecstatic to realize I was completely wrong about everything and had lapsed into a mad delusion," I related, my own anger seeping away. "Being right means I have to keep appreciating and respecting you and your compatriots and taking responsibility for my own clumsy contributions to our current situation, which I don't want to do. I want to go to bed.""Come on in and go to bed then," she softened. She made a slight hand gesture. "My pistol, please, Mr. Pritchard?" she requested of Lowry. Grudgingly he gave her the firearm. She stepped aside. Lowry went first, Barabbas second. Pierre gasped slightly because as he went up the steps he noticed the two Vanishers coming toward us from outside ~ the ones I had predicted to be watching us.I went in after Pierre. Wes followed along. Capri and Kuiko were waiting. The lights had already been dimmed throughout most of the rest of the dwelling."Who were those other two guys?" Wes stopped me."Sergeant Major Daly was a Marine N C O and improv poet renowned for his battlefield musings. His most famous philosophical insight into the fighting spirit of men came in World War One. In his words "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?" He also won two Medals of Honor, so he must have had some talent.""Company Sergeant-Major John Robert Osborn was a Canadian; that was the country which now makes up the northern third of our current Federation; who found himself misplaced on the island of Hong Kong in late 1941; him, a handful of lads from Winnipeg and a shitload more Japanese. He and the Japanese ended up in a game of grenade tag,”"Grenade tag?" one of my two 'silent' guardians interrupted."Yes ~ grenade tag. Apparently in the olden days, grenades didn't airburst, or explode on impact. You pulled a pin and threw it at the enemy, then waited for the fuse to burn out and the grenade to go 'Boom!.' Quick, brave, and or stupid people could grab that grenade and toss it back. In some cases, one grenade might make two, or three trips before detonating.""Anyway, the Japanese were so very rudely throwing grenades into the position he and his Winnipeg Grenadiers were defending, so he kept returning them. After eight and a half hours of such fun, he came across one he couldn't toss back in time. He covered it with his body to shield his comrades from the blast, dying instantly. The British Empire gave him something called the Victoria Cross for his actions. He was the first Canadian in World War Two to receive it.""Why do you know such stuff?" she grinned. "Oh, I'm Scar and this is Nat," she indicated the third member of the Wes-Scar-Nat Vanisher trio."I considered myself a coward, so I read a lot about brave men. I was kind of hoping to figure out how I could be brave myself, one day," I disclosed."Mission success," the third one smiled. "Go to bed."I gathered up Capri and Kuiko and did as instructed. As I rested my head on the pillow, lights out and my mind gratefully shutting down."Less impressive sex, Bitch," Capri teased."No," I groaned."They definitely think you've got the 'sexy'," Kuiko enlightened me."Can we please just go to sleep?" I begged.Capri rolled onto her side, back to me, gave me a bump in the hip with her ass, then moved away a tiny bit. Kuiko wiggled close, kissed me lightly on the cheek, and then did the same. Unconsciousness took me before any other worries could steal my much needed slumber.The Larger World:As I struggled for sleep a second time, events unfolding in three different places around the Globe (Asia, the City and the Capitol) would impact my fate.Asia:First; the brutal agony still going on as the Sun disappeared over the horizon wasn't over when I woke up the next morning. It was largely misunderstood for some time afterwards, but was referred to as; the Battle for Shanghai.Five Chinese regular force divisions fought the garrison division of Shanghai, its 'reserve' division, hastily gathered volunteer female formations and a hodge-podge of ancillary forces the United Nations could throw into the fray. The goal for both sides was to seize a mother and her unborn child. Within them were the only other active resistant viral factory killing the T2 Gender Plague. By the time I woke up, both sides were sure the other side had killed them both, pretty much insuring the extinction of all sentient life in Eurasia.I say 'Eurasia' because by dusk of the previous day, the Federation knew for sure I, the other source of a cure for the T2, was still alive and kicking, as were my sons. My sons held a nebulous promise for a future date. I was of immediate importance since my adult body could produce enough antivirals to protect tens of thousands of people on a relatively continuous basis, or so it was projected.With, or without the mother and child, China was done for. Japan and Korea were rapidly circling the drain. North of China, the Plague was racing across Siberian Russia. Central Asia had never really recovered from the first round of the Gender Plague all those years ago so, now off the beaten path, would be longer in dying. India had too many outbreaks to even dream of containment. Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and the Levant Republic all had reported cases as well.Europe:Beyond the Urals, the Europeans were grappling with the looming fear of a global economic collapse along with the Specter of Death though 48 hours into the crisis, there were no cases to report yet. Civil order was teetering. Several nations had either closed their borders, or were considering doing so. Women began hording food, and men.Africa:
Max Trescott and Rob Mark launch the first episode of NTSB News Talk, diving into NTSB agency news, recent accidents and newly published NTSB reports to help pilots better understand accident causes and improve decision-making in the cockpit. Please help us improve the show by sending us your feedback here. To hear future episodes of NTSB News Talk, Follow or Subscribe to the show in your podcast app. They begin with a surprising administrative shake-up: the unexplained termination of NTSB Vice Chairman Alvin Brown . Rob questions the lack of transparency, pointing out how an independent agency like the NTSB should not be subject to political scapegoating without clear justification. Max brings up that the NTSB is hiring . Next, they turn to cockpit video recorders—a long-recommended safety item by the NTSB. While commercial pilots and unions resist them on privacy grounds, Max and Rob argue that video can play a vital role in understanding pilot behavior and causes of crashes, especially in general aviation where data is often limited. Rob references Matt Thurber's editorial advocating for video recorders and highlights tools like CloudAhoy that already allow post-flight review. The hosts then discuss several accidents. One involved a Cessna 207 in Alaska that crashed during a go-around, possibly due to a dog on the runway. They examine when it's safer to land versus abort, and why go-around procedures—rarely practiced—are often poorly executed, even by experienced pilots. Two Citabria crashes raise density altitude concerns. One near Big Creek, Idaho , ended with no survivors; the other, in Wyoming, occurred during a flight to spread ashes . A partial engine power loss, high terrain, and low climb capability proved fatal. Both hosts emphasize how critical it is for instructors to teach performance limitations in high-elevation operations, especially in underpowered aircraft. Max talked about a Fireboss firefighting seaplane that ditched in the Atlantic, killing the pilot, while on a ferry flight to the Azores. He mentioned that experience ferry pilot Sarah Rovner talked in detail about ferry piloting issues in episode 379 of the Aviation News Talk podcast. Another incident highlights poor weather decision-making. A Piper PA-28 crashed near Mount Equinox, Vermont after entering icing conditions in IMC. The non-instrument-rated pilot, traveling with family on a ski trip, stalled and crash-landed. The hosts explain how "get-there-itis" and poor weather avoidance can prove fatal, and caution against pressing on in marginal conditions—especially with passengers aboard. The episode's deep dive analyzes the fatal accident of N611VG, a Citation 560 over Virginia. The pilot lost cabin pressure at high altitude and became incapacitated due to insufficient supplemental oxygen. The aircraft, operating Part 91, had numerous maintenance discrepancies—including an empty oxygen bottle and neglected pressurization issues. The pilot and passengers perished. Rob emphasizes that maintenance negligence is a silent killer, and guests aboard privately owned aircraft may have no idea about their true safety risks. Max and Rob conclude with a discussion on high-altitude emergency procedures, including explosive decompression response. They urge pilots to practice rapid descents to VMO and recognize the signs of hypoxia before it's too late. Finally, they encourage all pilots—regardless of experience—to schedule a flight review with an instructor to refresh skills like go-arounds and emergency descents. This debut episode delivers clear, actionable safety lessons and insider insight into real-world aviation accidents. It's a must-listen for pilots, CFIs, aircraft owners, and anyone serious about flight safety and learning from the NTSB's findings.

One of the greatest mysteries of all time: Atlantis. What began as a single line in Plato's Timaeus—an island swallowed by the sea in a day and night—has fueled over two thousand years of obsession, speculation, and wild theories.This episode unpacks the origins of the legend, starting with Plato himself. A philosopher, not a historian, Plato introduced Atlantis through dialogues meant to explore morality, politics, and the collapse of civilizations. The tale he tells is rich in detail: a powerful island kingdom of concentric harbors, gleaming temples, and divine bloodlines, eventually undone by its own corruption.From the Temple of Poseidon and its golden statue to the mysterious red metal orichalcum, the description of Atlantis feels more like a blueprint than a metaphor. Yet the story ends abruptly, with Zeus about to speak—and then nothing. Plato left us with a cliffhanger that still echoes.The boys then trace the legacy of Atlantis through history—from the Renaissance age of exploration to Ignatius Donnelly's 1882 book that claimed Atlantis was the mother of all civilizations. They break down the leading location theories, including Santorini's volcanic past, the eerie rings of the Richat Structure in the Sahara, the underwater anomalies near the Azores, and even Antarctica under the ice.But it doesn't stop at geology. Atlantis has become a cultural mirror—showing up in alien lore, Nazi expeditions, New Age mysticism, and blockbuster films. Was it real? Was it metaphor? Or something in between?Whether Atlantis was fact, fiction, or fable, one thing is clear: it's a legend built to last.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

Vamos cerrando una semana en la que muchos sectores bajan la guardia. Pero hay uno que mantiene las alertas encendidas, los 365 días del año y las 24 horas del día. Son los operativos de las fuerzas de seguridad que luchan contra el narcotráfico. Se enfrentan a dos retos: a los métodos que emplean los delincuentes, cada vez más sofisticados. Ahí está narcosubmarino que fue interceptado al sur de las Azores. Y también está el narcotúnel en Ceuta. Una auténtica obra de ingeniería que empleaban los narcos para introducir hachís en territorio español. Este es el primer método. Pero el narcotráfico va mucho más allá. Conscientes del poder de corromper que tiene el dinero de la droga, los narcos colocan sus objetivos en altos mandos encargados de perseguirlos y que se entregan a la causa contra la que deberían luchar. Se introducen en el corazón de los operativos para corromperlos. Y el caso más significativo es el de Óscar Sánchez Gil, el exresponsable de la Unidad de ...
Welcome to the final day of this voyage, Catholic Pilgrims. I feel like this trip was quick. We've been all over the place with Mother Cabrini. We started in Genoa, sailed through the Mediterranean, steamed by the Balearic Islands, Gibraltar, Morocco, the Azores, and now we will read about Mother and her Sisters docking at Hoboken. I went to look Hoboken up. It's in New Jersey, which I didn't know. It's a terminal that has been used since colonial times. Today, more than 50,000 people come through that terminal daily, which is incredible. There's lots of things there now, it's not just a dock. Since this is the end of a voyage, I will give my short reflection. Let's go ahead and open our books to page 105. Hoboken Docks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoboken_Terminal
Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Well, again, today, you are going to want to travel. The ship is steaming by the Azores and the description of them sound amazing. They're so amazing, in fact, that people on board are begging the Captain to stop off and let them explore for just one hour. Even Mother Cabrini admits that the sight of them does make one desire to “visit the charming islands.” So, let's enjoy this letter where we hear about all things beautiful by turning to page 95.
“I like to say sometimes we are an analog experience. Everybody today is talking about digitalization, which is indeed important. But the digital means can never, ever replace the human connection between two people. We are artisans of memories. It's the software of our hotels. The hardware is in the beauty, how they look, but it would be completely empty and without soul if it was not about the people.”We're in great company with Ingrid Koeck, a Partner of Torel Boutiques in Portugal where her passion as an “Artisan of Memories” lies in crafting unique places. By infusing soul into remarkable structures with Portuguese artistry and interior design she intentionally creates a profound human connection with curious travelers turned guests.With a growing collection of prestigious Portuguese boutique hotels sprinkled across Lisbon, Porto, the Douro Valley and soon the Azores, Torel Boutiques embody excellence around every corner—from the service to the amenities, the gastronomy to the ambiance, the distinctive moments turned memories.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Curtis Himstedt, known on trail as Easily Forgotten. Easily Forgotten's backpacking resume is bananas. A partial list of his adventures includes the Annapurna Circuit, Pembrokeshire Coastal Path in Wales, the GR10, Tour du Mont Blanc, Yorkshire Dales High Way, South Downs Way, and Cotswold Way in England, the Triple Crown in the U.S., the Tahoe Rim Trail, and a continuous yo-yo of the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail between 2023-2024. Curtis takes us through these treks, especially the ones we haven't covered on the podcast before, shares how his first divorce inspired him to get into thru-hiking, explains why he feels more like himself on trail than in “the real world,” and gives us a preview of his upcoming adventures as he continues trekking strong into his 60s. We wrap the show with news of a major gear retailer accused of ties to forced labor, a new navigation app you'll want on your radar for 2025, the triple crown of the worst fashion trends, a debate on how to inform someone of their LNT violation, what we'd replace our hands with if given the choice, and much more.

I found myself at the top of the ladder, took a deep breath, and realized that this wasn't where I wanted to be anymore. -Jennifer Gulbrand In the spotlight, Jenn Gulbrand, a multi-talented woman who spent years following the path she thought she should be taking until, one day, she realized that her paycheck was feeding her family and not her soul. She flipped that script and is now a visionary leader who is dedicated to building heart-centered communities. Using her extensive knowledge of somatic healing, Jenn releases pent-up pain and trauma in the many women she works with, providing hope, connection, and, very often, a new lease on life. This new chapter started with a bold move: revealing her own painful truth in the pages of her first book, Embody Your Essence. Inspired by the many responses she received to her traumatic personal story, Jenn released She Breathes Soul Stories, featuring 22 stories bravely told by women in her community. Says Jenn: “Our stories do not define us. But they are what shaped us. We all carry shame, and it makes us feel broken. Shame affects how we feel about ourselves and how we show up in life. In my work, I help women take trauma and shame up and out of their bodies.” Jenn's offerings include Reiki, chakra therapy, vibrational healing, EMDR, and more, which open up new pathways toward healing and hope. “I'm home now, says Jenn, doing the work I was meant to do. “ What's next? A healing retreat to the Azores! Find out more: www.jenngulbrand.com.
