At Fiesta Mexicana in Woodburn, joint Mexican and American flags fly in the air. Colorfully dressed Aztec dancers take the stage. And elote is everywhere.    It’s a celebration, but this year it’s become something more: an act of resistance.    “We have to continue to do this despite everything, despite the harm, despite the oppression, despite the discrimination. We must persevere because that’s la lucha (the fight), that’s what it's about,” said Juan Cervantes Morales, a Fiesta Mexicana Vendor, in Spanish.    Despite several cultural events being cancelled around the state and country, Fiesta Mexicana decided to carry on and provide a space for community members to be together and celebrate their culture.    “It is critical that our new generations learn about these cultural practices, because it is through these same practices that they will inherit so many of the cultural values that will strengthen their lives,” said Eduardo Cruz Torres Amictlan of Huehca Omeyocan in Spanish.    On this week’s episode, OPB’S Jenn Chávez and Alicia Avila share the story of Fiesta Mexicana — its history, how it represents cultura, resilencia y resistencia today, and what it means to Mexicans around Oregon.    A thank you to Alicia Avila, who produced a documentary for OPB Oregon Experience called “Fiesta y Resistencia.”    For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

This act set in motion the process of canonizing Juan Diego as the first saint Indigenous to the Americas. The Juan Diego Faithful were, of course, elated at the prospect. They only had to deal with one tiny problem: Juan Diego never existed.In this episode we delve into the myth of Juan Diego, and examine efforts made by the church to prove that this fictional character actually existed.

What if I told you your side hustle could teach you more about systems than your main practice ever did?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Darin Ward, an orthodontist with an unconventional journey—from growing a $2.5M practice in Canada, to downsizing into a lifestyle practice in rural Michigan, to roasting thousands of pounds of organic coffee out of his garage. Darin's story is a masterclass in knowing what you want, building it intentionally, and embracing entrepreneurship in and out of the operatory.We talk about the real cost of rapid growth (spoiler: it's not just financial), why he walked away from a thriving practice to prioritize family, and how that shift led him to discover his passion for coffee roasting. If you've ever wrestled with burnout, wondered how much growth is enough, or dreamed of turning a hobby into something more—this episode is going to resonate hard.Oh, and did I mention he owns six vintage wooden rowing shells and was once an Aztec rower at SDSU? Yeah… this one's got range.QUOTES"I was doing dentistry to support my orthodontic habit. That's when I knew I had to sell my practice and go all in."— Dr. Darin Ward"You don't really own a business until you can get yourself out of it. Until then? You own a job."— Dr. Darin WardKey TakeawaysIntro (00:00)From general dentist to ortho: Darin's winding path (01:00)How he built a $2.5M ortho practice in just 3 years (02:56)The power (and price) of aggressive grassroots marketing (06:31)Scaling quickly vs. profiting slowly—what's the tradeoff? (07:27)Why Darin pivoted to a lifestyle practice in rural Michigan (08:42)From 25–40 patients a day: how lean can you go? (09:01)Why all new patients get a custom-roasted pound of coffee (18:16)Turning a garage into a full-blown roastery (19:39)The logistics wall: when passion meets scale (21:26)White-labeling beans for dentists and ortho friends? (23:26)The E-Myth and owning your systems, not just your hustle (25:45)Rowing, racing shells, and a rowing club in the Upper Peninsula (28:50)Additional ResourcesTune in and get inspired to build a practice—and a life—that fits you.If you've ever dreamed of doing something outside of ortho—whether it's roasting coffee, starting a business, or simply working less and living more—this episode will hit home. Darin's story reminds us that growth doesn't always mean bigger... sometimes it just means better.☕️ Oh, and grab a bag of his beans at upwardcoffee.net- For more information, visit: https://orthopreneurs.com/- Join our FREE Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/OrthoPreneurs

How did the Aztecs understand life, morality, and human purpose? What can Aztec philosophy teach us about living well? Sebastian Purcell guides us through Aztec thought, beginning with a thought experiment from Homer's Odyssey and moving into the core ideas of Aztec wisdom. Along the way, he contrasts Aztec ethics with Western traditions and applies them to modern debates on morality, from sex and meat consumption to life's ultimate purpose. The conversation also takes on difficult topics like human sacrifice and sexual norms, showing how Aztec thought continues to challenge and enrich philosophy today.Chapters:[00:32] Odysseus and the Genie: A Thought Experiment[04:40] The Concept of Rootedness[08:17] Aztec Obligations and the Good Life[19:12] Shared Agency and Virtue[27:51] The Challenge of Community Bubbles[28:58] Aztec Views on Community and Travel[32:44] Human Sacrifice: Myth or Reality?[48:51] Aztec Moral Framework and Applied Ethics[53:03] Sexual Ethics in Aztec Society[57:06] Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Send us a textWe're stepping into marigold season, and I couldn't be more excited to share this special Cosmic Valkyrie episode with you. Women often ask why I'm so obsessed with marigolds — and the truth is, they're not just flowers. They are living portals into courage, devotion, and alignment.JOIN OUR NEWLETTERMarigolds burn bright even as the year tilts toward endings. They remind us that our brilliance doesn't dim when cycles close — it expands. In this episode, I'll take you deep into their history, science, and spiritual symbolism, and show you how this fiery bloom is a mirror for your own luminous evolution.You'll discover:The ancient wisdom of marigolds across cultures: from Aztec and Mayan altars to Indian wedding garlands and European healing rituals.How marigolds tie to your sacral and solar power, inviting creativity, clarity, and willpower.The neuroscience of ritual anchors — and how marigolds can help rewire your subconscious through sensory repetition and subconscious reprogramming.Why marigolds are more than symbolic: their proven medicinal properties make them allies in both body and spirit.How to use marigolds as an everyday ritual for bold living, quantum alignment, and momentum in your creative flow. Marigolds hold three truths that every Shapeshifter needs to hear:Roots hold you steady, but your purpose is to bloom.Brilliance honors both beginnings and endings.You are a living altar to what matters most.When you work with marigolds, you're not just decorating your home or garden — you're engaging in subconscious reprogramming that helps you collapse distractions and amplify your signal to the quantum field. This is where alignment becomes more than an idea — it becomes embodied.I'll also share a personal story of my connection to the Mayan world, and the life-altering moment I stepped onto sacred ground at the Kinich Kakmó pyramid. That experience showed me that marigolds are more than metaphors — they're guides. They taught me that devotion, alignment, and luminous living are not just concepts, but frequencies we can embody.✨ If you've ever felt like you're shrinking your truth or struggling to stay lit through life's endings, this episode will reawaken your perspective. Marigolds remind you that your brilliance is not seasonal — it's eternal.

Mark Zeigler breaks down the Aztec basketball schedule

When modern Americans go looking for meaning, happiness, or a little self-help, we often turn to ancient wisdom traditions like Buddhism or Stoicism. But those aren't the only traditions worth listening to. Today's author shines a light on another: the Aztecs. Sure, the great Mesoamerican empire is best known for its pyramids and, yes, its human sacrifices. But SUNY-Cortland philosophy professor Sebastian Purcell, PhD argues they also developed a surprisingly practical philosophy of daily life—one that says the best way to steady your mind is to begin with your surroundings, your habits, and your community.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.Across fields and centuries, harvest spirits blur the line between blessing and curse. We meet Habernitsa, the noon wraith who punishes scythe-swingers under the blazing sun; the Corn Mother, whose gifts are tangled with poison, sacrifice, and the last sheaf; and Chicomecōātl, the Aztec maize goddess who nourishes—and demands a life in return. A tour of folklore where grain is sacred, the stakes are mortal, and abundance is bought in blood.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornflower_Wraithhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Middayhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergothttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergotismhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Corn-Motherhttps://nativehistoryassociation.org/kanati_selu.phphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicomec%C5%8D%C4%81tlSarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

In the shadowed mesas of New Mexico, mere months after Roswell, a colossal silver disc crashes intact in March 1948, revealing 16 child-sized alien bodies in metallic suits amid advanced panels and cryptic symbols. Oil workers, ranchers, and a minister witness the eerie scene before military forces swoop in, enforcing silence with threats. Dismissed as a 1950s hoax by fraudsters, the Aztec UFO incident fades into ridicule—yet decades of declassified documents, consistent testimonies, and unexplained anomalies resurrect the enigma. Was it a true extraterrestrial encounter concealed by government deceit? Join Richard Syrett on Strange Planet as we unravel this cosmic cover-up. Then… Dive into the Caribbean's enigmatic depths off Cuba, where sonar uncovers a submerged "lost city" of pyramids and grids, potentially predating known civilizations and echoing Atlantis—suppressed for over two decades amid political shadows. Witness Chernobyl's radioactive dogs, their DNA rapidly evolving resilience through genes forged in fallout's fire. Unearth Shiloh's tabernacle ruins, revealing ritual bones and pottery that mirror the Ark of the Covenant's sacred throne. Relive Kecksburg's 1965 UFO crash, with acorn-shaped crafts and anomalous signals challenging official denials.    SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer – a trailer he referred to as his “toy box”.HOUR ONE: David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer. A trailer he referred to as his “toy box”. (The Toy Box Killer) *** Two friends sipping soda and playing pool find the green table stained blood red, with no warning whatsoever. (Murder At The Pool Table) *** Malta, Italy is known for its splendid ruins, historical monuments, and ancient sites, but one of these places stands out; a mysterious underground complex that holds with in it many enigmas and oddities that remain unsolved to this day. (Malta's Cryptic Catacombs) *** Weirdo family member Robert Foster tells of a creepy incident that happened to him while working security at an army depot in Oregon. (The Phantom Truck) *** Imagine opening up the newspaper and reading this paragraph: “If anyone doubts this story in the least… they are reliable men who would under no circumstances lend their names to an untruth.” Newspapers just do not stand by their sources this unwaveringly, at least not anymore… and especially if the subject of the article is a haunted house. (The Ghost Told Them To Move)==========HOUR TWO: When you think of human sacrifice, you might picture Aztec or Mayan ceremonies, or maybe a Satanic cult standing in a pentagram with a naked woman on an altar – possibly even a volunteer. Personally, I picture Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. While civilizations and groups such as these certainly did (and maybe still do) their share of brutal sacrificing, they are by no means the only ones that conducted death rituals. Some will most certainly surprise, and possibly disturb, you. (Sadistic Sacrificing of Souls) *** A shadow person is a humanoid figure that you perceive in a patch of shadow. Some believe that they are supernatural spirits or extra-dimensional beings. What are they? Paranormal researchers have a theory, neuroscientists have another theory. (Contact With a Shadow Man) *** An astronomy professor says we should begin focusing on space archaeology – starting with our own moon. Why? Well, he believes E.T. might have left a clue there of his existence. (Extraterrestrial Evidence on the Moon) *** Thousands of years ago, people were performing a form of surgery that involved boring holes through a person's skull. Why on earth would they do such a thing? (Trepanation: I Need That Like Another Hole In The Head) *** What Does It Mean To Dream About Aliens?==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: What if we were to discover there were aliens still living on the moon – and they were meddling in our affairs? How would you feel about that? Should extraterrestrials interfere in human affairs if they can help our society, or should we refuse that kind of leap in technology and medicine? (Should Aliens Interfere With Earthly Affairs?) *** Those who work nights are already in the creepy position of working what is called the “graveyard shift” - so you have to expect something to go wrong. If you are a security guard actively looking for something out of the ordinary during the graveyard shift, you know you're going to go home with stories to tell.

The wheel of the zodiac has spun us straight into Virgo season, and babes… it's time to sharpen those pencils, scrub that fridge, and maybe organize your crystal collection (because yes, Virgo will notice if it's dusty).In this episode, Ali and Brie unpack the beautifully complex energy of Virgo—the cosmic editor, healer, and perfectionist of the zodiac. We talk about what Virgo looks like when they're balanced (service-oriented, wise, health-conscious, grounded AF) and what happens when that energy tips into the unbalanced side (overly critical, stressed, nitpicky, and trying to fix everyone else's life instead of their own). Spoiler alert: Virgo energy can be medicine if we let it.✨ Crystals for Virgo Season We dish on the stones that vibe with Virgo's earthy yet thoughtful energy:Peridot – the green spark of joy and abundance.Lapis Lazuli – truth serum in crystal form.Moss Agate – grounding healer, like walking barefoot through a forest.Amazonite – the “chill pill” stone that helps soften Virgo's inner critic.

In Alien: Earth, the music has to merge sci-fi horror with sci-fi action — all while carrying the emotional core of Noah Hawley's storytelling. This week on Below the Line, Score Composer Jeff Russo joins Skid and returning co-host Louis Weeks to discuss his work on Alien: Earth, the FX series now airing its first season. An Emmy-winning and multiple Emmy-nominated composer, Jeff talks through how his music honors the legacy of Alien while building something entirely new — with select clips from his score woven throughout the conversation. Here's what we cover: Collaborating with Noah Hawley from the earliest concept stage — five years before cameras rolled Weaving together the tones of Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986) while still making the score uniquely his own Creating distinct sonic palettes for human, alien, and synth characters — and finding ways to blend them Crafting character-driven themes, including Wendy's motif and the “Siblings” theme Integrating unusual instruments like the bass desmaphone and Aztec death whistle to shape the show's sonic identity How serialized storytelling allows themes to grow and evolve across multiple episodes Building episode-specific releases, like the standalone score for Episode 5 Jeff also shares how his long creative partnership with Hawley has shaped his process — and why building trust early makes it easier to take musical risks later.

If you're a fan of genre, there was no better place to be at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 than in Ballroom 20 on Thursday night for the Collider Ladies Night After Dark panel. Ladies Night joined forces with the IFC Entertainment Group to celebrate two titles gearing up for their Shudder debut, and to unveil first looks at three upcoming theatrical releases. Even better? It all happened with five big-screen powerhouses - Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, Alexandra Shipp, Katie Douglas and Hassie Harrison.In true Collider Ladies Night fashion, the group began by pinpointing pivotal early career experiences that helped pave the way to their latest projects. After that, Douglas and Harrison revisited their time on the Clown in a Cornfield and Dangerous Animals sets, respectively, and then Keen, Nélisse and Shipp debuted the very first footage for their upcoming films.For Keen and Nélisse, that meant celebrating the world premiere of the teaser trailer for their new horror film, Whistle. Directed by Corin Hardy, Whistle puts the focus on a group of friends who happen upon an ancient Aztec death whistle. When someone blows the whistle or hears its sound, the countdown begins. Their future deaths start coming for them.From there, Shipp put the spotlight on Violent Ends, a revenge thriller that poses the question, “If you lost the most dear thing to you, what the fuck would you do to the people who took it from you?” Collider Ladies Night After Dark had the privilege of showing off one of Shipp's most breathtaking moments in the movie before turning towards another upcoming release, Forbidden Fruits. In that one, Shipp stars opposite Lili Reinhardt, Victoria Pedretti and Lola Tung as a group of women who “work at a Free People-esque mall shop,” and also practice witchcraft. Hosted on Acast.
