Allá arriba, diminuto, un humano lo sigue como quien sigue un sueño que sabe que no puede atrapar.

Not one.” (13:17)“Music's a transfer of emotion, and when I see bands that you, you can tell they're not into it up there, how are you going to be into it?” (27:16)“It's an absolute necessity to pick up her violin and to play. It nurtures her soul.” (35:54)“Cherish all the differences, cherish all the influences that could inspire you.” (14:25)“Let's stay connected because that's, I think, a very human thing to do.” (43:24)Resources & Links MentionedFind Wüstenberg Online:Spelling in international platforms: WUESTENBERG_musicInstagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube – Search: “Wüstenberg” or “WUESTENBERG” (40:32)Band newsletter (direct sign-up recommended for latest updates)Upcoming Gigs:Next show: Festival in the Azores, Portugal (Santa Maria island) (41:46)Festival References:Wacken Open Air – GermanyRenaissance and Celtic FestivalsMention of Hellfest (France) (15:21)Artist References:Lindsay StirlingMotörheadDropkick MurphysJethro Tull/Ian AndersonMetallicaAC/DC, The Dubliners, Larkin Poe (07:32)Beer Discussion:Praise for German beer (Spaten), disparagement of Budweiser (39:35)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-adventures-of-pipeman--941822/support.Click Here to Subscribe for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS!Follow @pipemanradio on all socials & Pipeman Radio Requests & Info at www.linktr.ee/pipemanradioStream The Adventures of Pipeman daily & live Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays at 1PM ET on W4CY Radio & Talk 4 TV. Download, Rate & Review the Podcast at The Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman Radio, Talk 4 Media, iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, YouTube & All Podcast Apps.

What do professional dance, island living in the Azores, and Atlassian Marketplace marketing have in common? More than you'd think! In this episode of The Jira Life, we're joined by Alicia Nemetz to peel back the curtain on what it really takes to build a marketing function almost from scratch in a small, remote-first team. Alicia takes us on a tour of some of the wildest creative projects she's worked on for APTIS and other clients, from the story behind community-favorite swag (hello, California Streamin' Collection!) to the creation of APTIS' first comic volume—and what's planned next. Beyond the fun gear, she gets real about the lessons learned along the way, including the unexpected business “ego death” of Not Another Webinar, navigating a non-traditional career path in tech, and why radically transparent, authentic marketing will always beat corporate boredom.

Key points worth noting:1755 Lisbon earthquake: One of the most devastating in European history (estimated 8.5–9.0 magnitude). It destroyed much of Lisbon, triggered a massive tsunami, and caused fires. It influenced philosophy (e.g., Voltaire) and early seismology.Modern risks: The area still faces significant threat. The Gorringe Bank and other offshore faults can produce large events. Portugal has improved building codes since the 20th century, but older structures remain vulnerable.Recent activity: Smaller quakes happen regularly, especially in the Azores. For example, there have been notable swarms and moderate events in recent years.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

El último fin de semana de junio ha llegado con una nueva subida de temperaturas después del ligero respiro que supuso el fin de la primera ola de calor. El meteorólogo y director del Laboratorio del Clima de la Universidad de Alicante, Jorge Olcina, ha explicado en el programa 'Fin de Semana' de COPE, con la comunicadora Cristina López Schlichting, que el calor repunta, especialmente en la mitad este peninsular. Los termómetros vuelven a escalar por encima de los 34-36 grados en gran parte del sur y sureste, así como en el noreste y Baleares, con máximas que alcanzan los 38 grados en zonas de los valles del Ebro y del Guadalquivir.Jorge Olcina ha destacado la llegada de las "famosas noches tropicales" que "ganan un grado, ganan dos, se sitúan las noches en 23, 24 grados, en la costa mediterránea, en el sur peninsular", lo que hace el calor "muy poco soportable". A pesar del tiempo soleado y estable, se esperan "alguna tormenta en el norte peninsular, regiones del ...

What if Atlantis is not a legend, but a memory of the world that drowned in the days of Noah? Caleb Jones makes that case in the most information-dense Atlantis breakdown you will ever hear. He goes back to Plato, back to Genesis, and back to a pre-flood civilization the Bible says was advanced, arrogant, and ruled by the offspring of gods and men.Caleb shows how the fountains of the great deep, the storehouses of snow and hail in the book of Job, and the lost city beneath the Azores all tell one connected story. He explains why an Egyptian priest somehow knew the underwater geography of an ocean he never crossed, and what that means for everything we think we know about ancient history.

**Discussion begins at 4:50**Picture a ship drifting silently across the Atlantic Ocean.  Its sails are raised.  It's cargo is untouched.  There are no signs of violence, no evidence of a struggle, and yet every single person on board has vanished without a trace.  In December of 1872, the merchant brigantine Mary Celeste was discovered adrift between the Azores and Portugal.  The ship itself appeared remarkably seaworthy.  Food and water were still stocked.  Personal belongings remained behind.  Even the crew's valuables were untouched.  But Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife, his young daughter, and the rest of the crew were nowhere to be found.  For more than 150 years, the mystery of the Mary Celeste has captivated sailors, historians, and conspiracy theorists alike.  Was it piracy?  Mutiny?  A sea monster?  Alien abduction?  Or was the truth something even more unsettling?Send us Fan MailSupport the showTheme song by INDA

pWotD Episode 3331: Cape Verde Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,232,812 views on Monday, 15 June 2026 our article of the day is Cape Verde.Cape Verde, in Portuguese Cabo Verde, in Cape Verdean Creole Kabu Verdi, officially the Republic of Cabo Verde, is an archipelagic country in the central Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa. It consists of ten volcanic islands with a combined land area of about 4,033 square kilometres (1,557 sq mi). These islands lie between 600 and 850 kilometres (370 and 530 miles) west of Cap-Vert, the westernmost point of continental Africa, after which they are named. Cape Verde forms part of the Macaronesia ecoregion, along with the Azores, the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Savage Isles.The archipelago was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers settled the islands, establishing one of the first European settlements in the tropics. Its strategic position gave it a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade during the 16th and 17th centuries; the islands saw rapid economic growth driven by the trade of manufactured goods, rum, and cloth for African slaves, ivory, and gold. By the mid 19th century, increased foreign competition, persistent drought, and the decline of the slave trade led to economic decline and emigration; Cape Verde gradually recovered as an important commercial centre and stopping point for major shipping routes. Cape Verde became independent in 1975. Since the early 1990s, it has been a stable representative democracy and has remained one of the most developed and democratic countries in Africa. Lacking natural resources, its developing economy is mostly service-oriented, with a growing focus on tourism and foreign investment. With a population of around 491,233 (as of 2021), Cape Verde is among the least populous countries in Africa. The Cape Verdean people trace their ancestry primarily to West African populations, with additional contributions from early Portuguese settlers and other groups who came to the islands during the Atlantic era. A sizeable diaspora exists across the world, especially in the United States and Portugal, considerably outnumbering the inhabitants on the islands. Cape Verde is a member state of the African Union.The official language is Portuguese, while the recognized national language is Cape Verdean Creole (Crioulo), which is spoken by the vast majority of the population. As of the 2021 census, the most populous islands were Santiago (269,370)—which hosts the country's capital and largest city, Praia—São Vicente (74,016), Santo Antão (36,632), Fogo (33,519) and Sal (33,347). The largest cities are Praia (137,868), Mindelo (69,013), Espargos (24,500) and Assomada (21,297).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:06 UTC on Tuesday, 16 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Cape Verde on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Patrick.

What does it feel like to lose your voice — literally — right before you're about to claim it?That's exactly what happened to me.I recently returned from the Azores — a volcanic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic that sits on the St. Michael Ley Line, one of the most energetically potent lines on the planet. I went to rest. To restore. To breathe.The island had other plans.Within days, I lost my voice. And in the stillness that followed, something came through clear and undeniable:This isn't just losing my voice. This is an upgrade.What This Episode Is Really AboutI talk about:The woman I saw in a café in Portugal who stopped the entire room just by walking in — and what she taught me without saying a wordSix years behind this mic amplifying other voices while quietly dimming my ownThe visibility wound — what it is, why so many of us carry it, and why it shows up as perfectionism, waiting, and performing invisibility before anyone else can make us feel itWhy losing my voice in the Azores was the old energy leaving — literally, physically, cellularlyMy "fuck it" moment — the quiet internal shift that changed everythingWhat the Empress archetype actually looks like when you stop waiting for permission and start reigningAnd the thing I know now with absolute certainty:My age is not my liability. It is my greatest credential.IF YOU'VE EVER FELT INVISIBLE, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU.You're in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. You feel the shift happening inside you. You don't want to light a candle and say a mantra — you want to shed your previous skin, reconnect with what got buried, and step into something bigger than what you've allowed yourself to be.This isn't decline. This is initiation.It's not just a returning. It's a becoming.And your reign? It begins internally.Grab the BookIf this episode resonated, Empress Rising is where we go deeper.This is the book I channeled when I woke up one morning and knew that the years ahead — the Empress Years — are not years of diminishing. They are years of expansion. Of invincibility. Of finally owning the wisdom you've spent a lifetime earning.

Along the way, they break down who these cruises are best suited for, important things to consider before booking, and why seasoned cruisers often fall in love with this style of travel.The episode also features a sample 14-night itinerary aboard Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas, sailing from New Jersey to Rome with stops in the Azores, Spain, and Italy. From volcanic landscapes and ancient Roman ruins to Barcelona's vibrant culture and Tuscany's rolling countryside, this itinerary showcases how a transatlantic cruise blends immersive exploration with relaxed luxury.Plus, Ryan shares details about an upcoming Rocky Mountaineer journey through the American Southwest and the Mighty Five National Parks — a trip filled with dramatic landscapes, iconic train travel, and unforgettable scenery.Whether you're dreaming about Europe, curious about repositioning cruises, or simply looking for a more relaxed style of vacation, this episode will help you decide if a transatlantic cruise belongs on your travel wish list.Ready to start planning your next adventure?

This episode contains detailed descriptions of violent death, including axe murders and decapitation. If you need to skip this content, advance to the chapter markers below. Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 40 of Foul Play marks America's 250th anniversary with a series of Twin Portraits — two true crimes from two different states, set in the same decade, examined side by side. This week: two axe murders from the 1890s, one in Massachusetts, one in Tennessee, both forgotten by history.On May 30, 1893, twenty-two-year-old Bertha Manchester was killed in her father's farmhouse outside Fall River, Massachusetts — six days before the Lizzie Borden trial opened fifteen miles away in New Bedford. In March 1897, five members of a German immigrant family were slaughtered on a Tennessee ridge, their house burned to the ground, their case never solved. Two women named in this episode lived into their nineties and never saw justice. Shane and Wendy tell both stories.The Victims (Case A — Massachusetts )Bertha Mabel Manchester was born May 7, 1871, in Fall River, Massachusetts. She was twenty-two years old. Her mother had died when she was young, and she helped run the family dairy farm on New Boston Road — the quiet, rural edge of a city better known for cotton mills and crowded streets. She was home alone on the morning of May 30, 1893, when her father Stephen and her twelve-year-old brother Freddie left with the milk wagon.She fought back. The medical examiner found twenty-three wounds to the back of her skull, defensive cuts on her hands and arms, and clothing torn in the struggle. Five teeth had been knocked out. The same doctor who performed those wounds had examined two other bodies less than a year before — Andrew and Abby Borden, murdered with a hatchet eight miles away the previous August. Dr. William A. Dolan was the medical examiner for Bristol County. He had seen this kind of violence before.The Victims (Case B — Tennessee)Jacob Ade was a German immigrant who had farmed 410 acres on Paradise Ridge, in the northwestern corner of Davidson County, Tennessee, for twenty years. His wife Pauline was fifty. Their daughter Lizzie was eighteen. Their son Henry was thirteen. On the night of March 23, 1897, a ten-year-old neighbor named Rosa Moirer was sleeping over at the Ade farm.By 9:30 that night, a neighbor named Squire Simpson saw a glow on the horizon. He went to investigate with a potato fork lashed to a long pole, probing through the burning debris. He pulled four bodies from the sitting room. All four Ade family members had been decapitated. Rosa Moirer, the neighbor's daughter, was found outside. She had not been decapitated. Her head was still intact. Five people were dead.The Crimes and InvestigationsIn Fall River, a nineteen-year-old Azorean immigrant named José Correia de Mello — who had arrived in America barely one month earlier, spoke no English, and had worked a day or two on the Manchester farm before disappearing — came back to the property on May 30 looking for money he believed Stephen Manchester owed him. When his uncle was told police needed him as a witness to a horse theft, de Mello went to the station without any idea he was a suspect. A shoe store owner testified that de Mello had tried to pay for new shoes using a trade dollar and a plugged half-dollar — the distinctive coins known to have been in Bertha's stolen purse. On September 18, 1893, de Mello changed his plea to guilty of second-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison. He walked out on January 31, 1914 — twenty-one years later — and was deported to the Azores. No record of him survives after that.In Tennessee, the case produced theories but no convictions. Jacob Ade had withdrawn approximately $200 from a Nashville bank the day he died, intended as a loan for a neighbor. The money was never found. Investigators considered the neighbor Henry Moirer, whose daughter Rosa was among the dead; a man named Ed Anderson with whom Jacob had quarreled over hogs; and a group of men from Ashland City whose confessions didn't match the physical evidence and who were eventually released. Every trial ended in acquittal. The Paradise Ridge axe murders have never been solved.Historical ContextBoth cases belong to the same decade — the 1890s — when the United States was processing waves of immigration, rapid industrialization, and deep regional tensions a generation after the Civil War. In Fall River, José de Mello arrived in a city with one of the largest Portuguese-American populations in New England. The community that helped deliver him to police later spent years petitioning for his release. In Tennessee, the racial climate meant that multiple Black men from Ashland City were arrested, subjected to interrogation, and coerced into confessions that investigators ultimately couldn't use. Both cases carry the shadow of a justice system that worked very differently depending on who stood before it.Rosa Ade married Lawrence James Hehir in Nashville on January 20, 1897 — just two months before her family was killed. She lived until May 17, 1962. She was ninety years old. The Tennessee Centennial Exposition opened in Nashville five weeks after her family was buried on the Ade property in March 1897. The state was celebrating. A family had been erased.In 2023 — a hundred and thirty years after Bertha Manchester's death — William D. Spencer published *The Other Fall River Tragedy* through the Fall River Historical Society. It was the first full-length account of her case. A historical marker for the Ade family was erected in 2018 at 3000 Morgan Road in Joelton by the Historical Commission of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County. A small road called Jacobs Valley runs through what was once the Ade homestead, named in honor of Jacob Ade.Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary Cochrane opens the show with a deep dive into Newcastle University’s reversible conductive glue, a water-based adhesive that could finally make electronics recycling economically viable. He frames the e-waste problem first: 62 billion kilos a year, with less than a quarter ever recycled. Then he walks through the silver nanoparticle chemistry, the lead-free angle on traditional solder, and the geopolitical stakes of critical mineral recovery. From there the episode pivots through energy, AI, hardware, open source, data research, space, science, and consumer privacy. A Reversible Conductive Glue That Could Replace Solder A team at Newcastle University has developed a water-based glue that conducts electricity well enough to replace solder. Unlike solder, however, the glue releases cleanly with a quick rinse of acetone or an alkaline bath. The breakthrough relies on silver nanoparticles suspended in a water-based binder. Consequently, components can be recovered intact, opening a viable path to electronics recycling at scale. Co-investigator Volker Pickert framed the second prize directly: solder has the best conductivity, but the best formulations contain lead. China Widens Its Clean Energy Lead A new Atlas Public Policy report shows Chinese firms accounted for 55 percent of $1.1 trillion in global clean energy manufacturing investment between 2019 and 2025. Battery manufacturing alone pulled in nearly half of that money. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have actively retreated from those same industries. With the Strait of Hormuz currently closed, supply chain ownership in solar, wind, and batteries matters more than ever. A separate Ember analysis showed Chinese solar panel exports doubled in March alone. DeepMind’s AlphaEvolve Scores Real Wins DeepMind published an update on AlphaEvolve, its Gemini-powered AI coding agent. The system cut genomic variant detection errors by 30 percent. Additionally, it lifted AC Optimal Power Flow feasibility from 14 to over 88 percent on the electrical grid. AlphaEvolve also found a better cache replacement policy in two days that would have taken human engineers months. Furthermore, it reduced write amplification in Google’s Spanner database by 20 percent. The pattern shows applied AI sticking, not as a chatbot but as a quiet optimizer. Anthropic and Gates Foundation Commit $200 Million Anthropic announced a four-year, $200 million partnership with the Gates Foundation across three pillars. The biggest pillar targets global health and life sciences in low and middle-income countries. Notably, the research scope includes polio, HPV, and preeclampsia. A second pillar covers AI in education across the U.S., sub-Saharan Africa, and India, in partnership with the Global AI for Learning Alliance. Finally, an economic mobility pillar focuses on agricultural productivity and crop benchmarks. Google’s AI Educator Series Launches Free Google rolled out the first 20-plus sessions of its AI Educator Series this week. The free AI literacy training targets the roughly 6 million K-12 and higher education teachers across the U.S. Modules are designed as short, snackable trainings teachers can finish in a prep period or a lunch break. Additionally, stackable workshops let educators build credentials over time. Importantly, the program requires no institutional subscription. Amazon Bedrock Prompt Optimization Goes GA Amazon Bedrock dropped its Advanced Prompt Optimization tool, now generally available across most major regions. The feature rewrites prompts to perform better on specific models and automates prompt migration when switching between models. Furthermore, a built-in evaluation feedback loop lets users benchmark against up to five models side by side. The default judge model is Claude Sonnet 4.6. Consequently, teams can stop hand-tuning string templates and focus on product work. Sponsor: GoDaddy Economy hosting $6.99/month, WordPress hosting $12.99/month, domains $11.99.

Arm AGI CPU and Red Hat Go Production-Ready on Agentic AI Arm and Red Hat expanded their collaboration around Arm’s AGI CPU, which is Arm’s branding for its agentic AI chip family. The deal brings Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift to the chip as a production-ready stack. Hardware specifications include 136 Neoverse V3 cores, 96 PCIe Gen6 lanes, and 12 channels of DDR5-8800 memory in a 300-watt thermal envelope. Availability lands in Q4 through Supermicro, Lenovo, and ASRock Rack. Intel Becomes McLaren Racing’s Official Compute Partner Intel announced a multi-year deal as the official compute partner for McLaren Racing. The agreement covers the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 team, Arrow McLaren IndyCar, and McLaren F1 Sim Racing. Trackside edge compute will power real-time race decisions, while Xeon and Core Ultra silicon drive Computational Fluid Dynamics and digital twin work. Consequently, design iterations that once took weeks now collapse to days. The deal puts Intel silicon in front of every CTO watching a Grand Prix. Rust Lands 13 Google Summer of Code Projects The Rust Project landed 13 accepted projects in Google Summer of Code 2026. Out of 96 proposals, a 50 percent jump from last year, the project selected 13. Notably, three returning contributors from prior years are back. Mentors flagged a noticeable share of AI-generated submissions as a growing challenge. Furthermore, the real bottleneck remains mentor capacity rather than funding. GitHub Innovation Graph Maps Digital Complexity Researchers used GitHub Innovation Graph data to predict GDP, inequality, and emissions through the Economic Complexity Index, or ECI. Countries are compared to kitchens; the more variety and sophistication in software output, the higher the score. Germany ranks first, followed by Australia and Canada. The U.S. lands at sixth. However, the dataset only captures public GitHub activity, leaving most proprietary software invisible. NASA and Eta Space Prepare Cryogenic Fuel Demo NASA is teaming with Eta Space on an in-orbit demonstration called LOXSAT, short for Liquid Oxygen Flight Demonstration. The nine-month mission tests cryogenic fluid management techniques required for in-space propellant depots. Launch is no earlier than July 17 aboard a Rocket Lab Electron from the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand. Successful refueling in orbit could reshape what is possible for deep-space missions to the Moon and Mars. Stealth Magma Surge Under São Jorge Surprises Researchers Researchers in the UK and Spain published in Nature Communications on a 2022 magma surge under São Jorge Island in the Azores. The surge climbed from more than 20 kilometers underground to 1.6 kilometers below the surface. Surprisingly, most of the thousands of earthquakes happened after the magma stalled, not during the climb. Consequently, scientists are calling it a stealth surge and a failed eruption. A primed magma chamber now sits closer to the surface than before. End-to-End Encrypted RCS Begins Rolling Out Apple and Google led a cross-industry effort to roll out end-to-end encryption for RCS messaging. As of May 11, the feature is rolling out in beta on both platforms. Importantly, encryption is on by default and auto-applies to new and existing conversations. A lock icon in the chat indicates active end-to-end encryption. This quietly raises baseline privacy for billions of cross-platform messages. Cochrane signs off with the usual ecosystem mentions: GNC Insider at geeknewscentral.com/insider, the show newsletter, and modern podcast app recommendations at podcastapps.com.

El redescubrimiento de las Canarias por parte de los europeos se produjo durante el siglo XIV. Una serie de expediciones mallorquinas, portuguesas, italianas y castellanas tocaron las costas insulares con diversos propósitos, desde la captura de esclavos hasta la evangelización. La presencia castellana se afianzó con la expedición de Jean de Béthencourt y Gadifer de la Salle entre 1402 y 1405, que ocuparon las islas de Lanzarote, Fuerteventura y El Hierro para convertirlas en señoríos castellanos. A mediados del siglo XV, La Palma, Tenerife y Gran Canaria seguían siendo independientes. Gran Canaria, la tercera isla más extensa del archipiélago, estaba dividida en dos guanartematos, el de Telde y el de Gáldar. Aquellos canarios tenían una sociedad relativamente compleja que vivía de la agricultura y la ganadería caprina. Era además una isla fácil de defender por su gran tamaño y su abrupto relieve. Pero los castellanos estaban determinados a conquistar la isla porque era de gran valor estratégico para controlar las rutas marítimas hacia el África occidental. Tenía además un potencial azucarero similar al de Madeira, una isla más al norte que los portugueses habían convertido en un próspero ingenio. El tratado de Alcazobas, firmado en 1479 tras la guerra de sucesión castellana, permitió a los Reyes Católicos concentrarse en las Canarias a cambio de reconocer la primacía portuguesa en Madeira, las Azores, Cabo Verde y el golfo de Guinea. La Corona decidió entonces asumir directamente la conquista de Gran Canaria como una empresa propia. La primera fase comenzó en junio de 1478 con el desembarco de Juan Rejón en La Isleta, donde fundó el Real de Las Palmas. La batalla del Guiniguada enfrentó a las tropas castellanas con los canarios mandados por el guanarteme de Gáldar y por el caudillo Doramas. Pese a la bravura indígena, la superioridad técnica castellana se impuso. Las disputas internas culminaron con la ejecución del alcaide Pedro de Algaba por orden de Rejón, que sería asesinado posteriormente en La Gomera por agentes de Hernán Peraza. En 1480 la reina Isabel intervino nombrando a Pedro de Vera, un jerezano curtido en la frontera granadina, que abandonó la idea de batirse con los canarios en campo abierto. En su lugar se decantó por avanzar hacia el interior de la isla fortificándose por el camino. Junto a eso de Vera explotó en su beneficio las rivalidades internas, se atrajo aliados indígenas y contó con la labor evangelizadora de fray Juan de Frías, lo que anticiparía los métodos que aplicarían décadas después Hernán Cortés y Francisco Pizarro en las Indias. La conquista concluyó entre 1482 y 1483. La captura del caudillo Tenesor Semidán, al que bautizaron en Castilla como don Fernando Guanarteme, resultó de una importancia capital. Guanarteme se encargó de ir convenciendo a los isleños para que no resistiesen a la conquista. Pero no lo consiguió con todos. Los irreductibles, capitaneados por Bentejuí y el faycán de Telde, se atrincheraron en Ansite. Rodeados por las tropas castellanas el 29 de abril de 1483 se arrojaron al vacío antes de rendirse. La Corona procedió entonces al repartimiento de tierras, introdujo la caña de azúcar y se formó una sociedad mestiza con colonos peninsulares y de otras partes de Europa. De aquel crisol humano y cultural surgiría la Gran Canaria moderna. Para hablar de esta conquista nos acompaña hoy en La ContraHistoria Carlos Pérez Simancas, nuestro experto en historia de las Canarias con quien ya vimos hace tiempo la conquista de la isla vecina, la de Tenerife, que se realizó unos años después.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Cuando la OTAN nació en abril de 1949 entre sus doce miembros fundadores figuraba Portugal, un país gobernado desde hacía casi dos décadas por el dictador António de Oliveira Salazar. España, en cambio, tuvo que esperar hasta 1982 para poder acceder. El franquismo y el Estado Novo portugués eran dos regímenes ideológicamente hermanos que compartían inspiración católica, corporativismo, partido único y desprecio por la democracia liberal. ¿Por qué admitieron a Portugal, pero no a España? La clave no está en la ideología, sino en lo que cada dictador hizo entre 1939 y 1945. Franco había recibido ayuda directa de Hitler y Mussolini durante la guerra civil, vistió su régimen con los ropajes fascistas de Falange, se reunió con el Führer en Hendaya y, sobre todo, envió la División Azul al frente ruso. Aquel gesto, pensado para saldar deudas pasadas manteniendo la ilusión de la neutralidad, se convirtió para los aliados en la prueba incontestable de que se había alineado con las potencias del Eje. Salazar jugó otra partida muy distinta. Practicó lo que los historiadores portugueses llaman "neutralidad geométrica”. Vendía wolframio a ambos bandos, pero mantuvo intacta la vieja alianza con Inglaterra. Cuando en 1943 Churchill invocó un tratado medieval para poder instalar bases en las Azores, Salazar cedió. Aquellas islas, situadas en mitad del Atlántico, resultaron decisivas para cerrar el agujero en el cazaban los submarinos alemanes. Portugal pasó así a estar, de forma muy discreta, del lado de los aliados. En 1945 se condenó explícitamente a Franco en la conferencia de Potsdam. Un años más tarde la recién fundada ONU recomendó la retirada de embajadores de Madrid y España quedó aislada internacionalmente. Portugal, en cambio, entró en la OTAN porque sin las Azores la alianza atlántica era inconcebible. Franco se conformó con los Pactos de Madrid de 1953 y con unas bases americanas que le permitieron normalizarse. La apariencia, las formas y la geografía marcaron la diferencia de dos dictaduras que, en casi todo lo demás, fueron de la mano.

Cuando la OTAN nació en abril de 1949 entre sus doce miembros fundadores figuraba Portugal, un país gobernado desde hacía casi dos décadas por el dictador António de Oliveira Salazar. España, en cambio, tuvo que esperar hasta 1982 para poder acceder.

Dan shares tales of two islands this week. We'll head to the remote Pacific Samoan island of Ofu, where there's a stretch of beach so feared that many locals refuse to walk it after dark. A place believed to be a gathering ground for spirits who've never crossed over. A place where ghosts can do more than just scare you. Next, we'll head to the other side of the world to the Azores.  High above a volcanic crater on São Miguel, an abandoned luxury hotel looms out of the fog  - a five-star dream that collapsed almost as soon as it opened. Visitors today report footsteps in empty hallways, voices in stairwells, and the unmistakable feeling of being watched by something that never left. A little less exotic but equally as creepy, Lynze brings us a tale from Spokane. The story of an entity that has attached itself to a someone and still lingers close today. To wrap up, we go to a midwest county fair where two young friends get more than they bargained for at the fun house. Bad Magic Monthly Donation: This month, we are donating to the HALO Dental Network. This may sound familiar because this is our second time donating here. After all of these years of making various donations, HALO is the one and only charity we receive emails about on a monthly basis. We have been sending fans their way consistently since our last donation in 2022. We felt that if we were going to keep sending folks their way, we ought to help support their mission. The HALO Dental Network is dedicated to being the most impactful dental charity in the United States. Led by Dr. Brady Smith, HALO provides free dental care to underserved populations throughout the country. Dental services include dental implants, veneers, fillings, crowns and root canals. We are thrilled to be able to support their mission, once again. We have donated $11,230 while putting $1250 into the 2026 scholarship fund.
