Nathan Maharaj spoke with novelist Sharon Bala, author of the award-winning 2018 novel, The Boat People. Her new book is called Good Guys. It's about a nearly bankrupt international aid charity called Children of the World, and how their stumbling into the good graces of an A-list celebrity raises a lot of money, and a lot of questions about who the good guys really are.   Sharon Bala on the absurdity of so-called Good Guys

Nesta mensagem, o Pr. Rafael Lemos, com o texto em Números, capítulo 22, versículos 1 ao 14, nos traz uma mensagem sobre a bênção do Senhor que não pode ser anulada em nossas vidas.O capítulo 22 de Números apresenta um momento marcante na caminhada de Israel. O povo havia avançado pelo deserto e acampado nas campinas de Moabe. Ao ver tudo o que Deus estava fazendo em favor de Israel, Balaque, rei de Moabe, foi tomado pelo medo e decidiu procurar Balaão para amaldiçoar o povo de Deus.A partir desse texto, aprendemos importantes lições sobre o tema “Bênção ou Maldição?”1. Quem anda debaixo da vontade de Deus vive debaixo da Sua bênçãoBalaque queria contratar Balaão para lançar uma maldição sobre Israel, mas havia um problema: Deus já havia abençoado aquele povo.A bênção de Deus não dependia da opinião dos inimigos, nem das circunstâncias ao redor. Ela estava fundamentada na aliança que Deus havia estabelecido com Seu povo.Muitas vezes existem pessoas que desejam o nosso fracasso, mas quando Deus decide abençoar, ninguém pode impedir."Como amaldiçoarei a quem Deus não amaldiçoou?" (Nm 23:8)Quando Deus libera uma palavra de bênção, ela é maior que qualquer oposição.2. O medo enxerga ameaça onde Deus está realizando propósitoBalaque olhou para Israel e enxergou um problema. Deus olhava para Israel e via o cumprimento de uma promessa.A mesma situação pode ser vista de maneiras diferentes. Quem vive pelo medo tenta controlar tudo. Quem vive pela fé confia na direção de Deus.Há pessoas que interpretam o avanço dos outros como ameaça, mas aquilo que Deus está fazendo não pode ser combatido pelos recursos humanos.3. Nem toda proposta que parece vantajosa vem de DeusOs mensageiros chegaram a Balaão trazendo honra, reconhecimento e recompensa.Antes de aceitar qualquer proposta, Balaão precisou consultar a Deus. Isso nos ensina que nem tudo o que parece uma oportunidade é uma direção divina.Nem toda porta aberta foi aberta por Deus.O cristão maduro não decide apenas pelo lucro, pela vantagem ou pela aparência. Ele pergunta:"Qual é a vontade de Deus para esta situação?"4. A voz de Deus deve ser maior que a voz dos interessesQuando Balaão consultou o Senhor, Deus foi claro:"Não irás com eles, nem amaldiçoarás este povo, porque é bendito." (Nm 22:12)Deus não deixou espaço para dúvidas. A resposta foi objetiva.Muitas vezes buscamos inúmeras opiniões porque não gostamos da resposta que Deus já nos deu. Porém, maturidade espiritual é obedecer mesmo quando a direção divina contraria nossos interesses pessoais.5. Deus transforma tentativas de maldição em instrumentos para revelar Sua glóriaA história mostra que aquilo que Balaque planejou como maldição acabou se tornando uma oportunidade para Deus demonstrar Seu poder.O inimigo queria destruir Israel, mas Deus usou toda aquela situação para confirmar ainda mais Sua bênção sobre o povo.Isso continua acontecendo hoje. Deus é capaz de transformar ataques em testemunhos, lutas em crescimento e crises em oportunidades para manifestar Sua graça.Conclusão: A grande pergunta deste texto não é apenas "Existe maldição?", mas sim: "Sobre qual voz estamos construindo nossa vida?"Israel estava protegido porque caminhava debaixo da palavra de Deus. Balaque confiava em estratégias humanas. Balaão estava diante da decisão entre obedecer ao Senhor ou seguir seus próprios interesses.A bênção não está em fórmulas, objetos ou palavras humanas. A verdadeira bênção está em viver alinhado com a vontade de Deus.Quando Deus declara Sua bênção sobre uma vida, nenhuma maldição tem poder para prevalecer.Que possamos escolher diariamente o caminho da obediência, pois onde há obediência ao Senhor, há proteção, direção e bênção.Se esta mensagem edificou a sua vida, curta e compartilhe com mais pessoas.Deus te abençoe!

Lloret de Mar acull avui la conferència inaugural de la Fira dels Americanos, una cita que enguany se centra en les guerres de Cuba i les repercussions amb Espanya, Catalunya i Lloret de Mar.

La conferència “La guerra del desastre, desastres de la guerra. Noves mirades sobre les guerres de Cuba (1868-1898)” proposa «una nova interpretació d'un dels conflictes més determinants de la fi del segle XIX: les llargues guerres de Cuba entre el moviment independentista i el govern espanyol. Un episodi amb importants conseqüències polítiques, socials i econòmiques, tant a Cuba com a la península, i també amb impacte a Catalunya i Lloret de Mar», segons l’arxiver municipal Quim Daban. El cicle «dona continuïtat a la línia de treball iniciada en edicions anteriors», que ja va abordar qüestions com l'esclavisme i les seves conseqüències històriques. Enguany, el focus se centra en el conflicte bèl·lic i les seves interpretacions historiogràfiques, amb l'objectiu d'oferir noves mirades sobre la guerra colonial i el seu llegat. La conferència inaugural amb Albert García-Balañà s’ha previst aquest dijous (20h) a l’edifici de Promoció Lloret. Consulta aquí el programa de la 13a edició de la Fira dels Americanos.

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell sits down with Bala Ramamurthy, CEO and Co-Founder of Critical Loop, to explore how his journey from NASA and SpaceX led him to tackle one of today's most urgent problems: industrial access to reliable, scalable power. They discuss why the electricity grid is an underutilized, aging asset facing soaring demand from reindustrialization, data centers, and EV fleets, and how bottlenecks like multi-year wait times for utility upgrades can cripple factories and logistics operators. Bala explains Critical Loop's solution: modular, relocatable microgrids that combine battery energy storage, generation, and autonomous controls to dramatically shorten “time to power,” including a high-stakes deployment that kept a factory running for nine months during a utility outage. He also covers how Critical Loop works behind the meter and with utilities, the importance of reliability borrowed from aerospace engineering, navigating shifting policy and supply chains, and why industrial operators shouldn't give up on their preferred locations just because the grid says “no” at first. Highlights from their conversation include: Welcoming Bala Ramamurthy to the Show (0:29) What Critical Loop Does for Industrial Power (1:35) Why the Grid Is Complex, Underutilized Infrastructure (3:05) How Grid Bottlenecks Impact Industrial Operators (4:41) How Critical Loop Analyzes Sites and Designs Solutions (7:21) High Stakes Deployment During Nine-Month Outage (10:18) Where Critical Loop Sits in the Grid Stack (12:03) Deployment Scale Today and Ambition to Reach Gigawatts (14:19) Navigating Policy, Regulation, and Market Tailwinds (17:20) What Rockets and Industrial Power Systems Have in Common (21:59) Advice for Operators Facing Energy as a New Constraint (24:09) Parting Thoughts and Takeaways (25:05) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

Growth is a collective development. We should grow as a community. We should grow as a humanity, we cannot succeed individually.In a world already obssesed with growth, and AI bringing speed that we've never seen before, understanding how to intentionally design for human centred growth strategies is so important. Systems only work when the humans inside the systems are seen, valued, and allowed to grow.Bala and I discuss the fact that building effective systems—engineering, organizational, or community—is fundamentally a human design problem, and how AI makes this more urgent. Bala shares invaluable insights from advising startups to teaching coding in public schools.We dive into redesigning organizations around AI without losing the human element, ethical AI as a design principle, and building human-centered communities when tools change faster than people. Many see AI as a tool for efficiency, a way to move faster. But if you purely optimise with AI without deeply examining your organizational structure and culture, you're merely moving the bottleneck, not solving it. AI accelerates discovery, highlighting existing issues, especially in low-trust environments. Introducing AI into a low-trust culture doesn't magically build trust. It automates around the lack of it, potentially exacerbating issues and inciting the use of 'shadow AI'. The foundational element for any successful team remains trust.As leaders, we must focus on fostering environments where trust is built proactively, before the pressure of AI-driven decisions.The main insights you'll get from this episode are :Systems only work when the humans inside are seen, valued and allowed to grow; humans are also the meta point in organisations, so it is vital to understand what motivates them (before they decide to leave).Building a team in a fast-scaling company requires first and foremost the right environment and culture, i.e. how people interact, how things are set up; AI acts like an x-ray machine, quickly showing what is broken and mirroring what is happening.Any team success requires trust and in the AI age, this entails trusting (or not) in AI as a system, trusting (or not) the output I produce (direct), and trusting (or not) others to use AI properly (indirect).The human aspect is about making things come together; AI requires fast decisions from leaders so leaders must trust their people, not identify or label them by their mistakes.AI governance is both a legal and human/behavioural issue – everyone should be involved in the conversation as AI is not an entity in itself; we give it life/power, which gives rise to ethical issues.New generations have access to tools/power and are already thinking about impact (moving away from the conventional leadership model) and the need for community, factoring this into decision-making to make it easier to create new tools quickly.Growth is a collective development, and success is not possible individually because access is now decentralised; the infrastructure must be a community as a living thing, helping others unbidden and building networks of trust.Leaders must intentionally make time for and ‘invest' in community, taking off their leader ‘hat' in an informal setting, for example; it all starts with objective communication, removing the subjects to change the perspective.AI is an opportunity to revamp organisational design with humans as the connective tissue in the system; in future, governments, education/industry, and economies must come together to include everyone and work for humans.Being curious is good enough and will guide us to the next step; we should get our hands dirty and humbly remember that our day jobs are creating a world for the next generation.Find out more about Bala and his work here :https://balamuthiah.com/

Finalmente, el analista Javier Maté destacó la gran campaña del Celta y la importancia de planificar el futuro de piezas clave como Iago Aspas, en un panorama regional que también celebra el éxito de eventos populares como la carrera nocturna de Nigrán.

La Ventana MetropolitanaLa actualidad de Vigo y Galicia viene marcada por la inestabilidad meteorológica inicial que dará paso a temperaturas de hasta 27 grados el fin de semana, mientras que en el ámbito judicial se celebra el juicio por los 650 kilos de cocaína incautados en el puerto, un presunto caso de agresión sexual a menores y la investigación del fallecimiento de una mujer en Navia. En el plano laboral y de servicios, los médicos secundaron una nueva jornada de huelga para exigir mejoras profesionales, al tiempo que se genera controversia por la reducción de vuelos de Iberia a Madrid y Renfe reorganiza los horarios del AVE. La política local se centra en la petición de un pleno extraordinario por el accidente mortal en las fiestas de Matamá, en contraste con el avance industrial y tecnológico liderado por firmas como Ecoforest y la celebración del Congreso Horizonte 27. Por último, la rápida reanimación de un peregrino en Baiona destaca en el plano social, mientras que el empleo se impulsa en O Porriño, la cultura celebra el Festival de Cans y la Casa das Artes, y el deporte vibra con el ajedrez escolar en Redondela, la llegada de la Solitaire du Figaro y la expectación total por el cierre de liga del Celta en Balaídos.

Biographical Bytes from Bala #055 for mid-May 2026: Tour starts at the Conservatory, River Section starts at the BODE plot.  Join me on an audio guided tour of the River Section of Laurel Hill West, one of the original four segments when the cemetery opened in 1869. You won't miss and of the fancy mausoleums or Tiffany studio stained glass, since they came later. You will meet the Father of Scientific Management and the Mother of Mother's Day, the man who literally changed two sports and his sister who wrote for The New Yorker, a man who decorated several rooms in City Hall and Masonic Temple, and a woman whose work is primarily at The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the first doctor to take care of Phineas Gage after the tamping bar incident (it wasn't a crowbar), and a bride who wore her dress for the first time in her coffin. Plus ... oh, I don't know, maybe a couple of dozen more. I promise you at least two or three stories you will want to tell others.

And the lonely road through the Berwyn mountains becomes a place of dread.But months later, the missing man returns with a terrible tale:of silver-eyed dancers…golden halls beneath the earth…and an evening of revelry that lasted far longer than any mortal night.In this dark and atmospheric retelling of a rare nineteenth-century Welsh fairy legend, Owen Staton brings to life the eerie beauty of the Tylwyth Teg and the ancient belief that some roads in Wales do not entirely belong to our world.So dim the lights, stir the fire, and listen carefully…Because if you hear music upon the hills after midnight, you must never follow it.https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4494952490/the-robbers-of-penwyllt-iago-and-gronwy?ls=s&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=Iago+and+Gronwy&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&local_signal_search=1&content_source=0b413d7c-9244-4622-b760-72fced06b30e%253ALT8d744fd33c2df938f97c839518c72705459d09e8&organic_search_click=1&logging_key=0b413d7c-9244-4622-b760-72fced06b30e%3ALT8d744fd33c2df938f97c839518c72705459d09e8www.welshstoryteller.comOwen's ko-fiwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonOwen's Patreonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7Take care my friendsOwen

NOT ALL BONES CONSIDERED NOT BIOGRAPHICAL BYTES FROM BALA I did not have time to complete the Biographical Bytes from Bala podcast about Billionaire's Row. I will release the segment on Ralph & Suzanne Roberts in a day or two. This is what I have been working on. The first draft of an "Ultimate Baseball Tour" I am giving 6 times during MLB All-Star Week. Then I had to spruce up a talk for Fort Mifflin that I had not given in a couple of years.  Much of my time has gone into preparing Laurel Hill's first columbarium tour. I've selected nearly 40 people for inclusion and have only started to scratch the surface. Come out and join me Sunday, April 19, at 1pm. We gather at the funeral home and walk up the steps for what will be a primarily indoor tour of 20th and 21st century Laurel Hill occupants.

In this episode, I talk about one of Britain's most fascinating UFO mysteries: the Berwyn Mountains UFO incident of 23 January 1974, often called the Welsh Roswell. On a cold winter night in North Wales, residents near Llandrillo and Bala reported a huge bang, a tremor, and strange lights over the Berwyn range. But what makes the case so compelling is what some witnesses said they saw on the mountain itself. I explore the reports of a bright red light on the hillside, described by witnesses as “coal-fire red,” a “large perfect circle,” and “like a big bonfire.” Some accounts also spoke of white lights moving nearby and of the glow changing in intensity and colour. District nurse Pat Evans is closely associated with seeing a large glowing object on the mountain after driving toward the scene, believing there had been a crash. Other witnesses described the area as pulsating with strange light, adding to the enduring mystery of what happened in the Berwyns that night. Was it a crashed UFO? A military recovery? Or something even stranger? In this episode, I focus on the witness testimony, the atmosphere of the night, and why the Berwyn Mountains incident remains a fascinating case in UK UFO history. If you're interested in UFO sightings in Wales, British alien encounters, classic UFO cases, and the mystery of the 1974 Berwyn Mountains UFO crash, this episode is for you. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In Part 2 of Seven Deadly Sinners, we follow Aravindan Balakrishnan, once known to his followers as “Comrade Bala,” as decades of control finally begin to unravel.After years of secrecy inside a South London commune, the walls begin to close in. Survivors step forward, authorities take notice, and the carefully constructed mythology— complete with fear tactics like “Jackie”— starts to crumble under scrutiny. What was once dismissed as radical politics is exposed for what it truly was: sustained psychological abuse, coercion, and modern-day slavery.This episode traces the investigation, the bravery of those who escaped, and the courtroom reckoning that followed. As the truth comes to light, we examine how the authorities built their case—and how a man who claimed absolute power was ultimately stripped of it.From arrest to conviction, Part 2 reveals the long-overdue collapse of a decades-long nightmare—and the fight for justice that brought it to an end.

In this disturbing episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we unravel the psychological grip behind the Lambeth Slavery Case and the cult built by Aravindan Balakrishnan, known to his followers as "Comrade Bala"Operating from a Maoist commune in Lambeth, England - Balakrishnan fashioned himself as a revolutionary visionary. But behind the rhetoric of class struggle and liberation lay decades of coercion, isolation, and absolute control over vulnerable women who believed he held the key to their survival.At the center of his manipulation was a bizarre invention he called “Jackie” — a supposed high-tech monitoring system he claimed could track thoughts, movements, and even disloyalty. In reality, Jackie wasn't a machine at all, but a psychological weapon. By convincing his followers that he possessed near-omnipotent surveillance powers, Balakrishnan reinforced paranoia, obedience, and fear, turning imagination into shackles.How does a man weaponize belief itself? How can captivity last nearly 30 years in plain sight? This episode explores the dangerous alchemy of ideology, narcissism, and manufactured omniscience — and how one man's delusion became a prison without bars.
