Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 270-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,717 on turnover of $12.2-billion N-T. The market fell sharply on Wednesday - as semiconductor stocks tumbled after U-S President Donald Trump announced that he will announce new tariffs on chips within the next week or so. NGO says migrant workers facing fraud but reluctant to report it The TransAsia Sisters Association says migrant workers in Taiwan are facing many types of fraud - but the cases are going underreported because of language barriers and other factors. According to the association, it has identified several potential problems in the effort to fight scams against migrants through interviews over the past year with mainly migrant workers and a small proportion (部分) of foreign spouses. The association says around 30-per cent of interviewees had experienced financial fraud, but that only a third of them reported their cases to authorities. The group is attributing the reluctance to report fraud cases to police to a lack of readily available multilingual services at police stations. The Workforce Development Agency says migrant workers can use the 1955 hotline, which provides multilingual services, to help them identify potential fraud schemes .. .. and the hotline can contact third parties on behalf of workers to verify suspicious situations and report cases to local labor authorities. Trump says 100% tariff coming on some imported semiconductors US President Donald Trump says he will impose a 100% tariff on imports of semiconductors. But he said he would exempt companies making their chips in the US… or are in the process of (的過程中) building chip fabrication facilities in the country. Toni Waterman has more. UN Report on Taliban Weaponizing Law Against Women and Girls The independent U.N. investigator on human rights in Afghanistan says its Taliban rulers have “weaponized” the legal and judicial system to oppress women and girls in what amounts to “crimes against humanity." Richard Bennett said in a report to the U.N. General Assembly circulated Wednesday that after seizing power in 2021 the Taliban suspended the 2004 constitution and specific laws protecting the rights of women and girls. These include a landmark law that criminalized 22 forms of violence against women, including rape and child and forced marriage. The Taliban defend their approach to justice by claiming they are implementing Islamic sharia law, but Islamic scholars and others have said their interpretation is unparalleled (無與倫比的) in other Muslim-majority countries and does not adhere to Islamic teachings. Bennett urged all countries to support efforts to bring Afghanistan before the International Court of Justice, the U.N.'s highest tribunal. Barbary Lion Cubs Born at Czech Zoo Four Barbary lion cubs have been born in a Czech zoo. The birth marks a significant boost for the rare species, which is extinct (滅絕的) in the wild. The three females and one male were seen playing at Dvur Kralove Safari Park on Wednesday. Soon, the cubs will be sent to other zoos as part of an international program to ensure (確保) their survival. Zoo officials say that while reintroducing the Barbary lion into its natural habitat is considered, it remains a distant goal. The Barbary lion once roamed northern Africa but was wiped out due to human activities. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
Let's talk about some fascinating extinct animals and their last recorded sightings. The Barbary lion, also known as the North African lion, roamed the Maghreb but was hunted to near extinction, with the last wild sighting in 1956 and about 80-100 still in captivity. The dodo, a flightless bird from Mauritius, disappeared rapidly due to invasive species and habitat destruction, with its last confirmed sighting in 1662. Steller's sea cow was discovered in 1741 and hunted to extinction within just 27 years, leaving only bones and fossils as evidence. The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was last confirmed in the wild in 1930, and the last one in captivity died in 1936 at Hobart Zoo.

**Contains historical language which may cause offence**Between the early 1600s and late 1700s, thousands of British sailors, fishermen, merchants, and coastal villagers were captured and enslaved by North African pirates, known as Barbary Corsairs. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and Professor Bernard Capp delve into the harrowing experiences of these captives, their treatment, and the broader implications on British society. Their exploration of the similarities and differences between Barbary and African slavery, reveal a nuanced and complex history filled with compelling stories of survival, escape, and unexpected turns.MORE:Women Pirates of the Caribbeanhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/0LC4MXJQZloEoYHkVb3WSLEscaping Slavery in Londonhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/0LC4MXJQZloEoYHkVb3WSLPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

In his new book, The Deepest Border: The Strait of Gibraltar and the Making of the Hispano-African Border(Stanford, 2019), Sasha D. Pack considers the Strait of Gibraltar as an untamed in-between space—from “shatter zone” to borderland. Far from the centers of authority of contending empires, the North African and Southern Iberian coast was a place where imperial, colonial, private, and piratical agents competed for local advantage. Sometimes they outmaneuvered each other; sometimes they cooperated. Gibraltar entered European politics in the Middle Ages, and became a symbol of the Atlantic Empire in the Early Modern period (the Pillars of Hercules of Emperor Charles V are featured on the Spanish flag to this day), but Pack's study focuses on the nineteenth century. Europe's new imperialism, Britannic naval supremacy, the age of steam, the ever-present danger of cholera, all mark the change of a Spanish-Moorish border into a multilateral one. So too does the multicultural mix of Europeans and North Africans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and Protestants who brought a spirit of convivencia (mutual toleration) into the region, unlike the nineteenth- and twentieth- century homogenizing nationalism that was at play elsewhere. In the middle of this theater, Dr. Pack follows the careers of adventuresome entrepreneurs, who manipulated the weak enforcement of conflicting laws in overlapping jurisdictions for their own gain. He calls these characters “slipstream potentates” because they maneuvered creatively in the wakes of great ships of state on their courses in the seas of international politics. (Other historians have called them “the last Barbary pirates.”) They bring color and detail to this already gripping narrative of international politics in Spain and North Africa in the century between Napoleon and Franco. Sasha D. Pack is Associate Professor of History at the University of Buffalo. He studies Modern Europe, Spain and Portugal, and the Mediterranean, focusing on transnational and political history. Krzysztof Odyniec is a historian of the Early Modern Spanish Empire specializing in culture, diplomacy, and travel. He completed his PhD in 2017 at UC Berkeley where he is now a Visiting Scholar and a Fellow in the Berkeley Connect in History program. Learn more about your ad choices.

For centuries, the Barbary Corsairs captured ships and enslaved European Christians, turning the Mediterranean into a sea of fear and ransom. Backed by the rulers of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, the corsairs built vast fortunes—and even empires. But in 1816, after failed diplomacy and mounting outrage, Britain struck back.Dan tells the story of the fiery bombardment that shook Algiers to its core and marked the beginning of the end for Barbary piracy. For this episode in our Pirates series, he's joined by Aaron Jaffer, Curator of World History and Cultures at Royal Museums Greenwich.Written by Dan Snow, produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.You can discover more and book tickets for the 'Pirates' exhibition at the National Maritime Museum Greenwich here.Join Dan and the team for a special LIVE recording of Dan Snow's History Hit on Friday 12th September 2025!

Big Book Cafe i Wydawnictwo Agora zapraszają na premierę książki „Swoją drogą…”Wybitny psychiatra Bogdan de Barbaro w wywiadzie-rzece z Justyną Dąbrowską opowiedział o warsztacie lekarza i psychoterapeuty, latach praktyki i bycia mentorem dla innych, swojej życiowej filozofii, a przede wszystkim – o ciekawości drugiego człowieka.Z autorami wspólnej książki, na poły biograficznej, na poły naukowej, rozmawia Anna Sańczuk.O KSIĄŻCEW poruszającej swoją głębią i mądrością ale i pełnej anegdot rozmowie Bogdan de Barbaro – a prywatnie Zbyszek – daje się poznać jako praktykujący antydogmatysta, którego życiowym i zawodowym drogowskazem jest postawa „twórczego niewiedzenia” będąca punktem wyjścia do zaciekawienia drugim człowiekiem, który wciąż – pomimo lat praktyki i bycia mentorem dla innych terapeutów - pozostaje tym najważniejszym nauczycielem.Do rozmów wprowadzają wiersze wybitnych twórców poezji (m.in. Wisławy Szymborskiej, Czesława Miłosza, Ewy Lipskiej, Stanisława Barańczaka) które stanowią ich motto i tło.„Wyszło nam coś, co jest próbą refleksji, a nie deklaracji dogmatycznej”, mówi prof. de Barbaro. „W dodatku ma to być refleksja, nazwałbym to, niesfinalizowana, a więc taka, która zostawia miejsce na myśli następne, już niekoniecznie nasze”.O AUTORACH:Bogdan de Barbaro – psychiatra, psychoterapeuta, profesor zwyczajny Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. Superwizor psychoterapii Polskiego Towarzystwa Psychiatrycznego. W latach 1993 - 2016 kierownik Zakładu Terapii Rodzin Katedry Psychiatrii UJ. W latach 2016 - 2019 kierownik Katedry Psychiatrii Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego Collegium Medicum. Obecnie współpracuje z Fundacją Rozwoju Terapii Rodzin „Na Szlaku” w Krakowie. Jest autorem, współautorem i redaktorem artykułów oraz książek z zakresu psychiatrii i psychoterapii, m.in. „Pacjent w swojej rodzinie” (1997); „Wprowadzenie do systemowego rozumienia rodziny” (1999); „Postmodernistyczne inspiracje w psychoterapii” (z Szymonem Chrząstowskim, 2011); „Psychoterapia między wiedzeniem a niewiedzeniem” (z Wojciechem Drathem, 2022); „Po co światu psychoterapia” (2023).Justyna Dąbrowska – psycholożka, psychoterapeutka, redaktorka, wywiadowczyni. W 1989 roku debiutowała w „Gazecie Wyborczej” felietonami o swoich dzieciach i psychologii. Założycielka i wieloletnia redaktor naczelna miesięcznika „Dziecko”. Autorka tomów rozmów z artystami, intelektualistami i psychoterapeutami: „Spojrzenie wstecz” (2012), „Nie ma się czego bać” (2016), „Miłość jest warta starania” (2019), "Zawsze jest ciąg dalszy" (2021), w których pyta rozmówców o to, co się widzi, czuje i myśli, gdy jest się na ostatnim odcinku drogi życiowej. Autorka terapeutycznej książki "Przeprowadzę Cię na drugi brzeg. Rozmowy o porodzie, traumie i ukojeniu" (2023). Laureatka Nagrody im. Barbary Łopieńskiej za najlepszy wywiad prasowy. Rozmowa z drugim człowiekiem to jej zawód, pasja i sposób na radzenie sobie z życiowymi mieliznami.
Texas is turning to helicopters to manage invasive aoudad sheep, what's behind a surge in moose attacks in Colorado, and one youth figured out how to turn biodegradable fishing lures into a business plus how Gen Z are taking Adulting classes. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 242 Aerial Hunting, Moose Dangers, Life Lessons, and a Teen's Green Fishing Breakthrough Texas Takes to the Skies to Manage Invasive Aoudad Texas is stepping up its wildlife management game — from the sky. Starting September 1, hunters will be allowed to shoot aoudad, also known as Barbary sheep, from helicopters, thanks to Senate Bill 1245, signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott. Originally from North Africa, aoudad were brought to Texas in the 1950s and have since exploded in number — with over 30,000 now roaming the state. They're hardy, fast-breeding, and tough on the environment, competing with native species like mule deer and bighorn sheep, damaging fragile desert ecosystems, and even spreading disease to commercial herds. The bill adds aoudad to the state's aerial wildlife management program, which already includes feral hogs and coyotes. Officials hope helicopter hunting — a method that helped reduce hog numbers by over 30% — can also bring the aoudad population under control. While they're a problem for landowners and wildlife managers, aoudad remain a popular big game target for hunters. Texas has no closed season or bag limit for them — just bring a valid hunting license and be ready for a challenge, whether on foot or from above. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/texas-hunting-aoudad-from-helicopters/ Colorado Officials Warn: Give Moose Space During Calving Season Moose attacks are on the rise across Colorado, and wildlife officials say the reason is simple — it's calving season. From late May to mid-June, cow moose become highly protective of their young and more likely to charge if they feel threatened, especially by dogs. In just over a week, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) responded to four separate attacks involving mother moose and nearby people or pets. In one case, a cow moose trampled two dogs and forced a man to dive under a car. In another, two women were charged and stomped while walking off-leash dogs — they only escaped by climbing onto a roof, and a neighbor used a fire extinguisher to drive the moose off. Even leashed dogs don't guarantee safety. In Grand County, Colorado, a woman was seriously hurt when a cow moose charged her and her dog; her boyfriend shot the moose in self-defense. Wildlife officers later had to euthanize the orphaned calf, fearing it would become too dependent on humans. In the most recent incident, a woman in Steamboat Springs was attacked while walking her dogs. A bystander tried to help — and got kicked for his trouble. The injured woman was airlifted to the hospital, and the cow and its two calves were later relocated. CPW says moose see dogs as predators and react aggressively to protect their calves. They're urging outdoor enthusiasts to keep pets leashed, avoid thick brush where calves may be hiding, and give moose a wide berth if spotted. While moose attacks remain rare, growing moose and human populations mean encounters are becoming more likely. So if you're hiking in moose country this time of year, stay alert, leash your dog, and let these massive mammals raise their young in peace.

Forget it. High schoolers and college students across the U.S. are now signing up for “Adulting 101” — crash courses in how to do laundry, budget for rent, or cook something besides ramen.New York teen Zack Leitner put it this way: “Until the 1960s, students learned how to cook, clean, and sew. In 2025, we're lucky if they know how to do their laundry.” Psychologist Jean Twenge points to overprotective parenting and a trend of young adults living longer at home. She says today's 20-somethings are arriving at adulthood with empty toolboxes — not because they're lazy, but because no one taught them the basics.So while schools are starting to step in, experts say these basic life skills should be taught way earlier. Because whether it's interest rates or ironing a shirt — ignorance isn't bliss. It's expensive…. Lastly, if you have a chance - research Financial Literacy, it is a topic more should be talking about in our opinion!

Ethan Albright, a senior at Hempfield High School and lifelong fisherman, created the lures using natural ingredients like seaweed-based sodium alginate, gelatin, and cornstarch. His goal? Cut down on plastic waste in rivers. Albright's eco-conscious invention earned him third place at the International Science and Engineering Fair this May, after first winning a local competition in March. And yes — the lures work. “The trout were hammering them,” Albright said after a successful trip during trout season. Traditional soft-plastic lures often break off or get swallowed by fish, clogging waterways and fish stomachs. Albright's version, on the other hand, is fully edible and decomposes in just over two weeks. He's now producing 10-packs of the five-inch worm lures — the classic “senko” style — in biodegradable packaging, with plans to sell them in local bait shops. His creations could mark a step forward for anglers and the environment alike. Albright says he's starting small but thinking big: “One day, maybe we can get them manufactured somewhere other than my kitchen.” (Interested buyers can email him here.)

From All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #073, part 1 The United States tried very hard to not have a Navy. It wasn't until the early 19th century that congress realized the need for a fighting force on the water. Capture of American merchant ships by the Barbary pirates and corsairs with letters of marque forced congress to release funds to fortify the Navy. Eventually the United States Navy was second only to the Royal Navy of England. Commodore Isaac Hull was captain of the USS Constitution when it defeated RMS Guerriere in the War of 1812. Commodore David Conner worked with Army General Winfield Scott to arrange the massive successful amphibious landing at Veracruz during the Mexican American War, which led directly to the taking of Mexico City a few months later. Rear Admiral Sylvanus William Godon spent his life in the Navy and while a member of the African Squadron captured the slave ship Erie which led to the hanging of its skipper Nathaniel Gordon, the only man executed by the government for being in the slave trade. Admiral George Melville was another Navy lifer. After he led a group back to civilization in the aftermath of the wreck of the SS Jeanette, he stayed in long enough to reach the rank of admiral. All four of these men are buried at Laurel Hill East.
Autorzy „Stanu Wyjątkowego” poznali osobiście panią Barbarę Skrzypek, przez niemal 30 lat najbliższą współpracowniczkę Jarosława Kaczyńskiego. Tak, słusznie mówi prezydencki minister, dawny rzecznik PiS Marcin Mastalerek — że zmarła w sobotę pani Basia na tle kłębowiska politycznych żmij na Nowogrodzkiej była najjaśniejszą postacią. Ale dzisiaj wspomnienia o jednej z najważniejszych kobiet w polskiej polityce odchodzą na dalszy plan. Wygrywa polityka. Jarosław Kaczyński oskarża o odpowiedzialność za śmierć swej współpracowniczki prokuraturę, a konkretnie znaną z krytyki PiS prokurator Ewę Wrzosek oraz Romana Giertycha. Wrzosek trzy dni przed śmiercią przesłuchiwała Barbarę Skrzypek w śledztwie dotyczącym „dwóch wież” — chodzi o inwestycję kontrolowanej przez Kaczyńskiego spółki Srebrna, która chciała postawić wieżowiec w centrum Warszawy. Giertych w tej historii pojawia się jako adwokat austriackiego dewelopera Geralda Birgfellnera, który miał budować wieżowiec dla Srebrnej, ale poczuł się oszukany przez Kaczyńskiego i doniósł na niego do prokuratury. Za rządów PiS prokuratura nie kiwnęła w tej sprawie palcem, dlatego po zmianie władzy śledztwo zostało wszczęte na nowo. To jedna z niewielu spraw z czasów rządów PiS, która osobiście zagraża Kaczyńskiemu — prezes może usłyszeć zarzuty i zostać skazany. W dodatku w odrębnym śledztwie badany jest wątek korupcyjny w tej sprawie. W tym sensie atak na prokuraturę po śmierci Skrzypek jest w interesie Kaczyńskiego. Twórcy „Stanu Wyjątkowego” Andrzej Stankiewicz i Kamil Dziubka zwracają uwagę, że do tej pory milczy syn zmarłej. A to on — nie zaś Jarosław Kaczyński — ma największe prawo do wypowiadania się w sprawie okoliczności śmierci Barbary Skrzypek. Nie ma wątpliwości, że Kaczyński wykorzystuje tę sprawę także w kampanii, żeby zmobilizować elektorat — bo kandydatowi PiS Karolowi Nawrockiemu idzie marnie. Ale cóż się dziwić, skoro cały czas pojawiają się sensacyjne doniesienia na jego temat. Najnowsze sensacje są takie — Nawrocki używał w przeszłości drugiej, zmyślonej tożsamości: "Tadeusz Batyr". Teoretycznie był to tylko jego pseudonim jako autora biografii "Nikosia", ojca chrzestnego trójmiejskiej mafii. Tyle że na książce się nie skończyło. Po pierwsze, Nawrocki występował w radiu i telewizji jako "Tadeusz Batyr", wychwalając jednocześnie Karola Nawrockiego. A po drugie — Nawrocki na swych profilach w mediach społecznościowych twierdził, że spotykał się z Batyrem i chwalił jego książkę.
"Trzeba absolutnie i bardzo poważnie rozważyć przeprowadzenie sekcji zwłok" - mówił w Porannej rozmowie w RMF FM senator KO Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, odnosząc się do sprawy śmierci Barbary Skrzypek. Jak dodał były minister sprawiedliwości, byłby za tym, by ujawnić protokół z przesłuchania Skrzypek. Karola Nawrockiego natomiast Kwiatkowski nominowałby do literackiej nagrody Nobla.
- Mamy ten bardzo niechlubny przykład z robieniem polityki na śmierci osób, które tragicznie zginęły w Smoleńsku, i miałem taką nadzieję, że może wyciągnęliśmy z tego wnioski, że nie będziemy do tego wracali, że to zamknięty rozdział - mówił w Polskim Radiu 24 Michał Piękoś (Polska Press).
W sobotę, 15 marca, odeszła Barbara Skrzypek, wieloletnia asystentka Jarosława Kaczyńskiego, którą trzy dni wcześniej przesłuchiwano w prokuraturze w roli świadka. Po jej śmierci politycy ugrupowania opozycyjnego oskarżyli prowadzących postępowanie o nadużycia. Zdaniem gościa Radia TOK FM rozgrywki Prawa i Sprawiedliwości są niedopuszczalne.

fWotD Episode 2859: USS Congress (1799) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 3 March 2025 is USS Congress (1799).USS Congress was a nominally rated 38-gun wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. James Hackett built her at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and she was launched on 15 August 1799. She was one of the original six frigates whose construction the Naval Act of 1794 had authorized. The name "Congress" was among ten names submitted to President George Washington by Secretary of War Timothy Pickering in March 1795 for the frigates that were to be constructed. Joshua Humphreys designed these frigates to be the young Navy's capital ships, and so Congress and her sisters were larger and more heavily armed and built than the standard frigates of the period.Her first duties with the newly formed United States Navy were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War. During the War of 1812 she made several extended length cruises in company with her sister ship President and captured, or assisted in the capture of twenty British merchant ships. At the end of 1813, due to a lack of materials to repair her, she was placed in ordinary for the remainder of the war. In 1815 she returned to service for the Second Barbary War and made patrols through 1816. In the 1820s she helped suppress piracy in the West Indies, made several voyages to South America, and was the first U. S. warship to visit China. Congress spent her last ten years of service as a receiving ship until ordered broken up in 1834.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:08 UTC on Monday, 3 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see USS Congress (1799) 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 Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kevin.
A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-what-zelenskys-debacle-says-about-us-newfound-clarity-13867967.htmlThe tongue-lashing received by Vladimir Zelensky in the Oval Office, in full view of the media, was a point of inflection. It highlighted something that we had suspected: the end of the ‘European Century' (or two or three), wherein they had risen to be the Masters of the Universe. Trump is emphasizing that the Atlantic was a 19th century story; with the rise of the US, the Pacific was the story of the 20th century; and the 21st finds the Indian Ocean rising.Zelensky's debacle was not the only pointer: Keir Starmer of the UK, despite some polite talk about the mythical ‘special relationship', was told sharply by Vance that there is no more free speech in the UK, and that it affects American technology companies and citizens. Let us remember also how Elon Musk lambasted the UK for its Pakistani rape gangs, and the limp-wristed reaction of its authorities. Trump also told Starmer “That's enough!”JD Vance, again, spoke some home truths to the Europeans at the Munich Security Conference, telling them their problems are home-grown: excessive migration, lack of democratic values, and censorship.All this is shocking to the supercilious elites of Europe, who are now seeing their cozy world collapse in front of their eyes: no more free-loading, no more Uncle Sam to the rescue. Suddenly, NATO is meaningless, and decades of Greta Thunberg and V-dem style lecturing, virtue-mongering and pontification are coming back to bite them on the backside.They must be recalling William Blake's apocalyptic vision in The Second Coming. Their world is indeed falling apart.Turning and turning in the widening gyreThe falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worstAre full of passionate intensity.It's hard to blame the Europeans. They have forgotten how it was only yesterday, as it were, that they were being hounded by the Barbary pirates, enslaved and turned into janissaries by the Turks. I read how the author of Don Quixote had been himself captured, enslaved for five years, and ransomed in 1580 for 300 gold coins, worth some $40,000 today.The European Century has made Europeans, and us, Fourth Worlders or those formerly colonized by them (as V S Naipaul put it), forget that Europe is just a backwater, a mere peninsula, an appendage, to Asia. It is now reverting to just “Northwest Asia”. For most of recorded history, Europe was an uncivilized land of savages; it was only the lucky accident of the Industrial Revolution that gave it the wherewithal to dominate the world.But that is in the past: the economic center of gravity of the world has indeed moved from the Atlantic to Asia.Source: The Economist.comThe illusion that America is obligated to support Europe, and also to fight Russia to the bitter end as part of the Cold War, was nurtured by Atlanticist Eastern Europeans exercised by an age-old blood feud: that between the Russian Orthodox Church on the one hand, and Catholics and other Protestant churches on the other hand.Those certainties are now falling by the wayside, as Trump pivots to the Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as back to isolationist Fortress America. As Zelensky did mention in his tirade, America has the good fortune to have two oceans around it, a serious moat. The US has been gaslighted for a long time by nose-in-the-air Europeans, most especially the mischief-makers at the UK's Whitehall (who are the real Deep State). But that's wearing off, and the blinkers are falling from their eyes. Sadly for Zelensky, he will be the first one affected by this new-found clarity.Zelensky also made several rookie mistakes. First, you don't go to your benefactor's lair (ie. the US Oval Office) dressed in a sweatshirt. Second, you don't talk over Trump. Third, you don't get into a shouting match in English with native speakers when English is your second language: you might miss the nuances of “you don't hold any cards”, for instance. Fourth, and most importantly, you don't trust Starmer, Macron, etc. and take up cudgels with Trump.The near-simultaneous “toolkit” tweets from a lot of EU grandees suggests they gaslighted Zelensky into his suicidal bit of bravado against Trump in the Oval Office. They used the exact same words! And Trump doesn't take slights lightly.The implications are dire. The Ukraine War is as good as over, because the Europeans alone cannot (or will not) supply Zelensky with enough weaponry to hold off Russia indefinitely. The most likely outcome is a ceasefire followed by a standstill agreement: what Ukrainian territory Russia currently holds it will continue to hold; Ukraine will be de jure partitioned. The rest is negotiable.If the Europeans had any sense, they would patch up with Russia. NATO as we know it will come to an end, and EU+Russia is a pretty powerful force, and neither will have to kowtow to China. With the US out of the picture, divided EU and Russia will both fall into the dhritarashtra alinganam of sweet-talking China. To their ultimate detriment, of course.It is good to contrast Trump's treatment of all these Europeans with his much gentler treatment of the Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba, and the Indian PM Narendra Modi, both Quad partners. He was polite and businesslike with them. Also, when a reporter asked about AUKUS, the brain-dead partnership with the UK that Biden dragged another Quad partner, Australia, into, his response was: “What's that?”There were early glimpses of a Trump foreign policy taking shape, as I mentioned in two prior columns: Chronicles of a Foreign Policy Foretold and Trump's America and Modi's India. Now things are clearer: there's a new Sheriff in town, and things are going to be different. But, William Blake notwithstanding, it's not the end of the world. We will all carry on.1000 words, 1 Mar 2025 This is a public episode.

Let's talk about some fascinating extinct animals and their last recorded sightings. The Barbary lion, also known as the North African lion, roamed the Maghreb but was hunted to near extinction, with the last wild sighting in 1956 and about 80-100 still in captivity. The dodo, a flightless bird from Mauritius, disappeared rapidly due to invasive species and habitat destruction, with its last confirmed sighting in 1662. Steller's sea cow was discovered in 1741 and hunted to extinction within just 27 years, leaving only bones and fossils as evidence. The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was last confirmed in the wild in 1930, and the last one in captivity died in 1936 at Hobart Zoo. Animation is created by Bright Side.

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Sara Winokur, geneticist-turned-author, as she delves into the inspiration behind her thrilling novel, Ivory Bones. Drawing from her ancestry, which traces back to a Barbary pirate, and her extensive career in genetics, Sara weaves together a murder mystery that's as grounded in real science as much as historical intrigue. Learn about the real-life Lewis Chessmen, priceless artifacts tied to the story, and how Sara's protagonist uses forensic genetics to uncover secrets. We also explore the profound theme of heritage and its influence on identity, alongside Sara's journey from science to storytelling. Whether you're captivated by the mystery of DNA or the allure of historical artifacts, Sara's work is an incredible blend of science, history, and fiction.
The boys drink and review an Irish Cream Stout from Southern Tier, then discuss slavery around the world and throughout history. From the earliest records of mankind there has been slavery. From Hammurabi, the Bible, Aristotle, records from Egypt -- slavery was assumed to be a part of life. The Bible didn't outlaw slavery, but it set limits on it. Later, we see a similar pattern in the Koran. Slavery continues into the Roman Empire, where we see several different types of slaves, from gladiators, galley slaves, and miners, to easier roles like body slaves, household slaves, and even slaves who ran businesses. You might have become a slave from debt or from committing a crime. Slaves might have made up as much as 30 percent of the population. The "slavs" are so called because so many of them were forced into slavery. American Indians had slaves. Europeans, Africans, and Asians all enslaved one another. Vikings took slaves. Everybody everywhere took slaves. The whole concept is brutal and unthinkable to a modern man, but in a world where life was nasty, brutish, and short, sometimes slavery was better than the alternative. The first U.S. war was fought against the Barbary pirates, who were capturing and enslaving Americans and Europeans. Up until about 300 years ago, almost nobody questioned slavery.

With the war ended, American attention shifts away from Europe while European attention shifts from America. US delegates attempt to establish a foreign policy with free trade, only to fund the major powers uninterested. Instead they struggle to keep American merchant ships from capture by Barbary pirates who enslave their crews.

The conclusion of the War of 1812 elevated America's naval reputation and marked the start of the "Era of Good Feelings," a period of national pride. With peace restored, President Madison redirected attention to the Barbary pirates, who had exploited American merchant ships during the war. Furious at the enslavement of American sailors, Madison secured Congressional approval to wage war against Algiers in early 1815. Naval leaders like Stephen Decatur achieved swift victories, leveraging military strength to negotiate treaties that ended tribute payments and secured favorable terms for the U.S. Decatur's diplomacy extended to Tunis and Tripoli, compelling restitution for captured ships and releasing enslaved Europeans, bolstering America's global standing. The Second Barbary War showcased the growing might of the U.S. Navy, earning respect from European powers and silencing earlier British doubts about American resilience. Celebrations of naval triumphs at home solidified national identity, while the treaties reflected America's emergence as a formidable maritime force.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dziś jest Dzień Górnika, czyli Barburka. Nieprzypadkowo Barburka, bo jest to także święto świętej Barbary, patronki górników. Święta Barbara jest chyba najbardziej zapracowaną świętą, bo, oprócz górników jest również patronką: artylerzystów, marynarzy, architektów, kowali, kamieniarzy, dzwonników, kucharzy, a nawet więźniów i flisaków. I patrzcie jak to jest: niektórzy święci mają pod sobą tylko jedna grupę zawodową, a biedna święta Barbara musi patronować tylu zawodom. Jaka ona musi być zarobiona w niebie.
The 1807 Treaty with Tripoli ended the First Barbary War, allowing American ships to sail freely in the Mediterranean without tribute payments. This victory spurred national pride, with many Americans viewing the war as a continuation of their revolutionary ideals. However, new challenges emerged in the Atlantic as the Napoleonic Wars intensified, pressuring U.S. trade. Jefferson's attempt to protect American neutrality through an embargo on Britain and France faced domestic resistance and ultimately proved ineffective. Tensions boiled over with the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair, where a British warship attacked the U.S. Chesapeake, pushing the nations closer to conflict. In the Mediterranean, American withdrawals left U.S. ships vulnerable, leading to renewed pirate attacks that forced the U.S. to resume tribute payments. Jefferson's preference for a small, defensive fleet backfired, and America soon found itself unable to protect its Mediterranean interests. By 1812, escalating disputes with Britain led the U.S. to declare war, hoping British preoccupation with France would offer an advantage. American victories, particularly the USS Constitution's successes and the Battle of New Orleans, bolstered U.S. morale. The Treaty of Ghent ended the War of 1812 without territorial gains, but American resilience was solidified, and the British eventually ceased impressing American sailors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The 1807 Treaty with Tripoli ended the First Barbary War, allowing American ships to sail freely in the Mediterranean without tribute payments. This victory spurred national pride, with many Americans viewing the war as a continuation of their revolutionary ideals.

In Episode 6, we dive into two pivotal battles in the First Barbary War: Tripoli and Derne. It starts with Stephen Decatur's dramatic assault on Tripoli Harbor in August 1804, where he led American gunboats against a larger Tripolitanian fleet, avenging his brother's death in single combat and shelling the city. Commodore Preble's daring attempts to destroy Tripoli's defenses are followed by the tragic loss of the USS Intrepid crew. We then move to William Eaton's ambitious overland march with a small band of Marines and mercenaries across the Libyan desert to Derne. Facing hunger, mutiny, and harsh terrain, Eaton's force managed to surprise Derne's defenders, capturing the city in America's first coordinated land-sea assault. Despite Eaton's victory, peace talks led by Tobias Lear overshadowed Eaton's campaign, forcing a strategic withdrawal that left Hamet Karamanli, Eaton's ally, without power. Eaton returned home as a hero, but haunted by the treaty's outcome. This episode captures the challenges of America's first overseas conflict and the complicated peace that followed.

The First Barbary War began in response to decades of harassment of American traders by North African pirates. Before becoming president, Thomas Jefferson faced renewed Barbary pirate attacks, with the Pasha of Tripoli threatening war unless more tribute was paid. Despite being known for his frugality and opposition to a naval buildup, Jefferson deployed a naval squadron, believing military force was cheaper and more effective than paying tribute. In 1801, after the U.S. failed to meet the Pasha's demands, Tripoli declared war, leading to naval skirmishes, including a decisive early victory by the USS Enterprise. Jefferson's efforts to blockade Tripoli faced setbacks, including the capture of the American frigate Philadelphia and its crew. This loss raised the stakes, with the Pasha demanding an even larger ransom, complicating efforts to resolve the conflict.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Barbary States (Morocco, Tripoli, Algiers, Tunis) were the greatest thorn in the side of the young American republic after it won independence, preying on trade ships, enslaving American crews, and demanding levels of ransom that consumed much of the federal budget. But why did the Barbary states rely on piracy for economic survival and why couldn't they engage in typical commerce? In the 16th century, the Barbary States transitioned from Mediterranean trade to piracy after Spain's conquests and Ottoman expansion disrupted their economy. Algiers and other North African ports became notorious bases for corsairs, launching raids on European shipping under the protection of the Ottoman Empire. By the early 17th century, piracy became central to their economy, with hundreds of corsair vessels operating from Algerine ports, capturing ships and enslaving crews. However, by the late 1800s, the Barbary States' power had waned due to European naval interventions, reducing their fleets and influence significantly. But they were still a major threat, as the newborn United States was soon to find out. In this episode, James and Scott look at the origins of the Barbary States and understand their perspective in the Barbary Wars.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textLustful, unpredictable, and mischievous, Fra Filippo Lippi is a notorious figure of the Italian Renaissance. This episode surveys his life, looking primarily at three artworks: the San Lorenzo Annunciation, the Double Portrait at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his famous Lippina. Together, these works uncover a story about a skilled artist, but one who constantly upset his social structure. We use his work to glimpse into the world of Renaissance women, including the nun Lucrezia Buti who he stole from her convent and eventually married. Beyond the works, we explore stories about his turbulent life. Was Fra Filippo really sold as a slave by Barbary pirates? Did Cosimo de' Medici truly lock him in the Palazzo Medici to stop him from womanizing Florence? All of these questions and more are answered. Works Discussed: Annunciation, San Lorenzo, ca. 1440Portrait of a Woman with a Man at a Casement, Met NYC, ca. 1440Lippina, Uffizi Gallery, ca. 1457-1465Follow us on Instagram: @italian_renaissance_podcast Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show
