In this episode, we go over yield traps and why abnormally high dividends often signal business stress rather than easy income. We walk through how falling share prices inflate trailing yields, why payout ratios and free cash flow coverage matter, how special dividends can skew TTM yields, and when sector “norms” turn into red flags. To make things easier to spot, we do a sector by sector overview of what is considered a normal yield and what is considered a high and likely unsustainable dividend yield.

In 388 BCE, Plato, at the age of about forty and in the midst of writing The Republic, visited for the first time the then-Greek city state of Syracuse, on the eastern shores of Sicily. Syracuse was ruled by a tyrant, Dionysius, who on death was followed by his son, also a tyrant. Over the course of his three separate visits to Syracuse over the years, encountering both father and son, Plato arrived at the model for tyranny laid out in The Republic. That's the argument of James Romm's splendid book, Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic Masterpiece (W.W. Norton, 2025). In our conversation, Romm renders, not the familiar “marble Plato” of his God-like dialogues, but an altogether human figure grappling with his own personal vulnerabilities. We discuss, too, the parallels to today's times, in which tyrants and would-be tyrants continue to plague the world. The tyrant, as Romm ably shows, is an archetype for all time. James Romm is the James H. Ottaway Jr. Professor of Classics at Bard College and editor of the Ancient Lives biography series from Yale University Press. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's program, Episode 184, this is Part 1 of a dialogue I had with Andre Roosma of the Netherlands, discussing the written language of Abraham, Moses, and David, often referred to as Paleo-Hebrew. We will be speaking about the pictographic roots and basic notions that underlie the earliest biblical script. Paleo-Hebrew developed from a script that was used in the West Semitic area, ranging from current Syria to Egypt to the Sinai desert, during the second millennium BCE. It is commonly referred to as Proto-Canaanite or Proto-Sinaitic. This script later developed into what we know as the block letters of the Hebrew used during the Babylonian Exile and beyond to our present day. Our program will begin with Andre's understanding of how he pronounces the Name (YHWH or YHVH or YAHWEH) and why. In the second half of the program, we dig into the actual meanings of the Hebrew letter pictographs. Join me now for my discussion with Andre Roosma as we delve into the rich nuances of biblical texts based on their pictographic concepts.

The aftermath of the Battle of Mantinea marks a critical turning point in the Peloponnesian War, as Sparta reasserts its dominance while Athens grapples with the moral contradictions of empire.With their decisive victory at Mantinea, the Spartans restore their reputation and secure their position as the preeminent land power in Greece. This revival allows them to reinstall oligarchic governments throughout the Peloponnese, temporarily bringing even democratic Argos under their influence. But when Sparta's attention shifts during a religious festival, Argos seizes the opportunity to overthrow its imposed oligarchy and restore democracy, demonstrating the fragility of forced political arrangements in the Greek world.Meanwhile, Athens finds itself paralyzed by competing political visions. Nicias advocates for moderation and recovery of territories in the north, while Alcibiades pushes for aggressive action against Sparta. This stalemate culminates in the final use of ostracism in Athenian history—a procedure that backfires spectacularly when both factions unite to exile the minor politician Hyperbolus instead of resolving their leadership struggle.The conquest of Melos in 416 BCE stands as perhaps the most morally complex episode of the war. When this small, neutral island refuses to submit to Athenian demands, negotiations produce what Thucydides immortalizes as the Melian Dialogue—a stark confrontation between power politics and ethical principles that continues to influence political thought today. "The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must" becomes Athens' uncompromising position as they reject appeals to justice, fairness, and divine intervention.The eventual fall of Melos and the brutal execution of its male citizens reveals the darker face of Athenian imperialism. What began as a defensive alliance against Persia has transformed into an empire maintained through fear rather than leadership. This episode of apparent success feeds a dangerous overconfidence in Athens that will soon lead them toward their greatest gamble and ultimate disaster—the Sicilian Expedition.Subscribe now to follow this epic journey through ancient Greek history and discover how the tensions between power, justice, and hubris continue to resonate in our world today.

A spellbinding look at the history of the world through the stories of twelve carpets Beautiful, sensuous, and enigmatic, great carpets follow power. Emperors, shahs, sultans and samurai crave them as symbols of earthly domination. Shamans and priests desire them to evoke the spiritual realm. The world's 1% hunger after them as displays of extreme status. And yet these seductive objects are made by poor and illiterate weavers, using the most basic materials and crafts; hedgerow plants for dyes, fibres from domestic animals, and the millennia-old skills of interweaving warps, wefts and knots. In Threads of Empire: A History of the World in Twelve Carpets (St. Martin's Press, 2025), Dorothy Armstrong tells the histories of some of the world's most fascinating carpets, exploring how these textiles came into being then were transformed as they moved across geography and time in the slipstream of the great. She shows why the world's powerful were drawn to them, but also asks what was happening in the weavers' lives, and how they were affected by events in the world outside their tent, village or workshop. In its wide-ranging examination of these dazzling objects, from the 5th century BCE contents of the tombs of Scythian chieftains, to the carpets under the boots of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill at the 1945 Yalta Peace Conference, Threads of Empire uncovers a new, hitherto hidden past right beneath our feet. Dorothy Armstrong is a historian of the material culture of South, Central and West Asia. She has taught at the Royal College of Art, Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Oxford. She was the Beattie Fellow in Carpet Studies at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, where she is now honorary research fellow. Threads of Empire is her first book. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

DPAM lo tiene claro, hay que tener renta fija emergente para descorrelacionar y aportar valor. En Radio Intereconomía, Victor Asensi, Country Head en España de DPAM, ha puesto énfasis en la necesidad de que “la renta fija tiene que estar descorrelacionada”. A la hora de buscar oportunidades en la renta fija ha explicado que cuando un inversor en euros opta por una cartera tradicional formada por créditos soberanos y crédito investment grade, no está del todo descorrelacionado. RENTA FIJA EMERGENTE Aseguraba el experto que tener renta fija emergente en cartera “aporta una descorrelación importante o una rentabilidad/carry muy alta”. Es más, decía que el binomio riesgo rentabilidad es atractivo y ahora, -decía-, con menos volatilidad que en los países desarrollados. Un diagnóstico que llega mientras vemos la tensión de los últimos meses en torno a Francia y Reino Unido. “La Renta fija emergente en contrario a lo que se puede pensar, su volatilidad y riesgo ha decrecido mucho en los últimos años”. MERCADOS EMERGENTES La estrategia de DPAM se construye con un análisis exhaustivo, pero con una premisa, explicaba el experto, la de que no invierten en un país que no sea libro democrático (artículo 9 en materia de sostenibilidad); y luego miran tipos de interés e inflación. También por supuesto, buscan bancos centrales independientes. “En nuestra cartera tenemos tipos reales positivos y te da indicación de que los bancos centrales pueden bajar tipos”. Así, añadía Asensi, que “según la FED vaya bajando tipos, los emergentes seguirán bajando tipos”. EMERGENTES Y RENTABILIDAD A la hora de conformar la cartera, Asensi señalaba que es importante tener en cuenta que “hay mucho más que los países europeos en un momento en que el BCE está bajando tipos, pese a que ha llegado el momento de mantenerse, pero es probable que en diciembre o el año que viene seguirá bajado” Así subrayaba que los bonos de Brasil a 10 años pagan un 13,8%, México 8,5%; Indonesia 6,4%; Polonia 6% PAÍSES EMERGENTES Y FRONTERAS El experto de DPAM hacía hincapié en el hecho de que los países emergentes no solo están en Asia, sino que también están, por ejemplo en Latam. Aun así señalaba el peso que tiene en los índices de referencia y en el que “el 50% del índice de moneda local está en Asia”, de ahí que en su estrategia se desmarcan y gestionan allí donde creen que hay más valor. Sobre Asia, decía que ahora las rentabilidades están bajas, por lo que están infraponderados y se han ido a Latam (Brasil, México, Perú…), al este de Europa; (Polonia, República Checa) y países fronteras. Sobre los países frontera explicaba que ofrecen rentabilidades más altas aunque la liquidez es inferior y por eso le dan menos peso: “mucha rentabilidad y descorrelación”.
The recent decipherment of the South Arabian Dhofari script from the first millennium BCE reminds us that we don't know as much about ancient peoples and languages as we think. And finding a completely new language in a Hittite text shows that they knew a lot more than us, which is sobering, since they didn't have fancy degrees or iced pecan oat milk lattes.
La semana arranca en los mercados con fuerte tensión política y económica. En Francia, el Gobierno se juega su futuro en la Asamblea Nacional, donde Francois Bayrou se somete este lunes a una moción de confianza. En Japón, el primer ministro Ishiba dimite para evitar fracturas internas en su partido, mientras que en Asia destacan datos para abrir la semana como el PIB japonés, que se revisa al alza hasta el 0,5%, y el comercio exterior de China se frena al 3,5% en agosto. En Europa, el foco estará esta semana en la reunión que celebra el jueves el BCE, con la duda sobre nuevas bajadas de tipos. Además, se publican los datos de inflación en EE. UU., así como los IPC de Alemania y España. En el plano empresarial, hoy comienza el plazo de aceptación de la OPA del BBVA sobre Sabadell. Mañana, Apple presentará su nuevo iPhone y el miércoles será el turno de Inditex con sus resultados. Estas claves se analizan en la Tertulia de Mercados de Capital Intereconomía con Víctor Asensi (DPAM), Almudena Mendaza (Generali Investments), Christian Rouquerol (Tikehau Capital) y Álvaro Fernández (Capital Group).
En la segunda hora de Capital Intereconomía, la tertulia de mercados reunió a Víctor Asensi (DPAM), Almudena Mendaza (Generali Investments), Christian Rouquerol (Tikehau Capital) y Álvaro Fernández (Capital Group) para debatir sobre la caída del Gobierno en Francia y su impacto en bonos y bolsa, las expectativas de la próxima reunión del BCE, el papel de la inflación y la ausencia de efecto de los aranceles en los precios. También se analizó cómo preparar las carteras de renta fija y variable de cara a final de año y el impacto global del auge de los fondos indexados en las cotizaciones. Completamos la hora con el análisis de preapertura de las bolsas a cargo de Alexis Ortega, profesor de Finanzas en la EAE Business School.
Every summer, Canadian scientists leave their labs and classrooms and fan out across the planet to do research in the field. This week, we're sharing some of their adventures.Camping out on a remote island with thousands of screaming, pooping, barfing birdsAbby Eaton and Flynn O'Dacre spent their summer on Middleton Island, a remote, uninhabited island that lies 130 kilometers off the coast of Alaska. They were there to study seabirds, in particular the rhinoceros auklet and the black-legged kittiwake, as a part of a long-term research project that monitors the health of the birds to help understand the health of the world's oceans. Eaton and O'Dacre are graduate students working under Emily Choy at McMaster University in Hamilton, OntarioDodging lions and mongooses to monitor what wild dogs are eating in MozambiquePhD student Nick Wright spent his summer in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. After a brutal civil war wiped out 95 per cent of the large mammals in the park, much work has been done to bring back a healthy wildlife population, to mixed success. Nick was monitoring wild dogs this summer to learn what they're eating, and what effects their recent re-introduction has had on the other animals. Wright is in the Gaynor lab at the University of British Columbia.Saving ancient silk road graffiti from dam-inundationThe legendary silk road is a network of trade routes stretching from Eastern China to Europe and Africa, used by traders from the second century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Travelers often left their marks, in the form of graffiti and other markings on stone surfaces along the route. Construction of a dam in Pakistan is threatening some of these petroglyphs, and an international team is working to document them online while there is still time. Jason Neelis, of the Religion and Culture Department, and Ali Zaidi, from the Department of Global Studies, both at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, are part of the team.Prospecting for World War II bombs in an Ottawa bogPablo Arzate's tests of sensor-equipped drones developed for mining uncovered 80-year-old relics leftover from World War II bomber pilot training in the Mer Bleue bog southeast of Ottawa. Arzate, the founder of 3XMAG Technologies from Carleton University, says his newly-developed technology revealed a trove of unexploded ordnance lurking beneath the bog's surface. Technology allows examination of Inca mummies without disturbing themAndrew Nelson and his team spent the summer in Peru devising new methods of non-invasively scanning Peruvian mummies dating to the Inca period – so they can study them without unwrapping them. In Peru, ancient human remains were wrapped in large bundles along with other objects. Nelson is a professor and chair of the Department of Anthropology at Western University in London, Ontario. This work is done in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture of Peru.Eavesdropping on chatty snapping turtles in Algonquin ParkSince 1972, scientists have been spending their summers at the Algonquin Park research station to monitor the turtles living in the area. In recent years, the researchers discovered that these turtles vocalise –– both as adults, and as hatchlings still in the egg. So this summer, Njal Rollinson and his students set out to record these vocalisations to try and understand what the turtles are saying. Rollinson is an associate professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the School of the Environment at the University of Toronto.
In this echoes of war podcast we cover the epic battle of Marathon during the Greco-Persian Wars The Battle of Marathon, fought in 490 BCE, was a pivotal clash that reshaped ancient warfare and Greek identity. Outnumbered Athenians, led by seasoned commanders with Plataean allies, faced a vast Persian army under Darius I as the first Persian invasion of Greece began. Despite the odds, the Greek forces exploited terrain, forming tight phalanxes that negated the Persians' numerical advantage. The Athenians' disciplined leadership and tempo kept Persian advances from consolidating, while their soldiers' morale—fueled by citizen-soldier ethos and athletic culture—provided a crucial psychological edge. A key element of the victory was the famous endurance and momentum of the hoplites, whose coordinated spear thrusts delivered decisive blows in close quarters. Additionally, tactical maneuvers, including selective maneuvering against exposed flanks, disrupted Persian lines without incurring heavy casualties, highlighting the Greeks' emphasis on strategic positioning over brute force. The run back to Athens, symbolized by the legendary Marathon message, underscored the morale and logistical signaling integral to ancient warfare. The victory at Marathon did more than halt a Persian advance; it bought time for the Greek city-states to unite against a common threat and inspired a broader sense of democratic resilience under pressure. In cultural memory, Marathon became a beacon of civic virtue, military ingenuity, and collective identity, influencing later Greek pedagogy and the wider narrative of Western military strategy. For viewers seeking a concise takeaway, Marathon demonstrates how terrain, leadership, and cohesive citizen-soldier discipline can triumph against overwhelming odds, shaping both history and cultural memory for generations.
Landscapes of Warfare: Urartu and Assyria in the Ancient Middle East (University Press of Colorado, 2025) by Dr. Tiffany Earley-Spadoni offers an in-depth exploration of the Urartian empire, which occupied the highlands of present-day Turkey, Armenia, and Iran in the early first millennium BCE. Lesser known than its rival, the Neo-Assyrian empire, Urartu presents a unique case of imperial power distributed among mountain fortresses rather than centralized in cities. Through spatial analysis, the book demonstrates how systematic warfare, driven by imperial ambitions, shaped Urartian and Assyrian territories, creating symbolically and materially powerful landscapes. Dr. Earley-Spadoni challenges traditional views by emphasizing warfare's role in organizing ancient landscapes, suggesting that Urartu's strength lay in its strategic optimization of terrain through fortified regional networks. Using an interdisciplinary approach that includes GIS-enabled studies and integrates archaeological, historical, and art-historical evidence, she illustrates how warfare was a generative force in structuring space and society in the ancient Middle East. Landscapes of Warfare situates Urartu's developments within the broader context of regional empires, providing insights into the mechanisms of warfare, governance, and cultural identity formation. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18,).In this study I continue in chapter 8.

Combined these mean "seed basket". Squash seeds were planted along the routes of the travelers and nomads for future use by themselves and other travelers. The squash plant spreads out over a large area forming varied sizes and shapes of squash fruit. Dried squash fruit becomes a hard hollow shell (seed basket) with the seeds inside and when shaken they rattle inside.Smite = “nâkâh” “naw-kaw'” “nun-kaph-hey” “Aleph-Tav”Nun = (seed) continue, heir, sonKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tamehey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breathAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe Hebrew Letter ‘nun' is a picture of a seed, the letter ‘kaph' is a picture of the palm of the hand.

3. #LONDINIUM90AD LIVE AT 6 PM ET SUNDAY: 8/31: GAIUS & GERMANICUS DEBATE: Women with Money, Billionaire Politicians, and the New Roman Republic. This segment explores the historical and contemporary intertwining of money, power, and politics, comparing wealthy individuals in ancient Rome with those in 21st-century America. Gaius introduces Claudia of Matelis, a powerful Roman woman from the 1st century BCE who, despite formal restrictions like needing an advisor and being barred from court, inherited immense wealth and lived an independent life, exercising "great political power". Gaius observes that "politics and money in Rome were the same thing," a truth he believes also applies to America. Germanicus elaborates that in traditional societies, women historically played powerful, behind-the-scenes political roles, often linked to class and wealth, citing figures such as Livia in Rome or Madame de Pompadour. In the modern U.S., he notes a significant "galloping ahead" of women's wealth and influence, projecting that women will control 75% of discretionary spending by 2028, and already hold over 66% of consumer wealth and 51% of all stocks. The discussion then shifts to the emergence of billionaire politicians. While historical figures like JP Morgan, Carnegie, and John D. Rockefeller possessed immense wealth, they were not directly engaged in politics. Today, however, there is a rise of billionaires, including women such as Steve Jobs' wife (who owns The Atlantic and engages in "charitable or political charitable giving"), directly influencing politics. This trend, they suggest, could lead to "family dynasties," exemplified by the Pritzker family. The speakers connect this phenomenon to Roman history, particularly after Constantine's conversion to Christianity, where "unbelievably rich senators" and their widows became crucial political players and funders of networks like monasteries and churches. They mention a period in the 5th-century Western Empire where three senators each held more wealth than the imperial state itself. They further link the increasing disproportion of wealth and income in the United States to levels comparable to pre-French Revolution France. In Rome, such inequality led to the "revolution" that ended the Republic and ushered in "billionaire politicians" like Crassus, Caesar (who gained massive wealth despite being in debt), and Augustus (whose wealth "soared" with power). The segment concludes with the assertion that America is becoming "more and more like Rome every single day" and is heading towards a future potentially dominated by "billionaire presidents," with Mr. Trump making claims in this vein. Germanicus predicts that these billionaires will become the "new dukes and counts" of American politics, potentially creating a political system characterized by a struggle between the emperor/state and these extraordinarily powerful figures. 79 AD WOMEN OF ROME #LONDINIUM90AD LIVE AT 6 PM ET EVERY SUNDAY: GAIUS & GERMANICUS DEBATE.

Ancient Mediterranean Incarceration (open access) examines spaces, practices, and ideologies of incarceration in the ancient Mediterranean basin from 300 BCE to 600 CE. Analyzing a wide range of sources—including legal texts, archaeological findings, documentary evidence, and visual materials—Matthew D. C. Larsen and Mark Letteney argue that prisons were integral to the social, political, and economic fabric of ancient societies. Ancient Mediterranean Incarceration traces a long history of carceral practices, considering ways in which the institution of prison has been fundamentally intertwined with issues of class, ethnicity, gender, and imperialism. By foregrounding the voices and experiences of the imprisoned, Larsen and Letteney demonstrate the extraordinary durability of carceral structures across time and call for a new historical consciousness around contemporary practices of incarceration.

Here are eight segments focusing on Professor Emily Wilson's work on The Iliad: 1/8. In her translation, The Iliad, Professor Emily Wilson addresses the complex question of "Who was Homer?" She explains that for centuries after the Mycenaean collapse, there was no writing in the Greek-speaking world, yet extraordinary oral stories of heroes like Achilles and cities like Troy were developed and retold by performing poets. Writing, borrowed from the Phoenicians, arrived in the 8th century BCE, leading to the monumental written poems like The Iliad and The Odyssey, which are sophisticated responses to this long oral tradition. 1578 JUPITER AND OLYMPIA
El lunes pasado Donald Trump anunció la destitución de Lisa Cook, miembro de la Junta de Gobernadores de la Reserva Federal. El despido lo ha justificado alegando una acusación de fraude hipotecario presentada por Bill Pulte, director de la Agencia Federal de Financiación de la Vivienda. Pulte ha denunciado que Cook declaró dos residencias principales en 2021 para obtener mejores condiciones en una hipoteca, lo que constituye un delito federal. Cook negó las acusaciones, aseguró haber corregido las declaraciones y anunció que impugnará el despido en los tribunales. La decisión ha desatado un acalorado debate sobre la autonomía y la independencia de la Reserva Federal, ya que su estatuto fundacional, que data de 1913, solo permite destituir a un gobernador por ineficiencia, negligencia o malversación. Cook, nombrada por Biden en 2022 para un mandato de 14 años, sostiene que el despido carece de base legal. La Fed, por su parte, ya ha adelantado que acatará cualquier resolución judicial. La Junta de Gobernadores, equivalente al comité ejecutivo del BCE, supervisa los 12 bancos regionales de la Reserva Federal y es, junto al Comité Federal de Mercado Abierto, quien decide sobre los tipos de interés y la oferta monetaria. El cese de Cook se interpreta como un movimiento político de Trump para que Jerome Powell baje de una vez los tipos de interés y eso sirva de estímulo a la economía. No es este el primer caso en el que Trump fulmina al responsable de una agencia federal. A principios de mes destituyó a Erika McEntarfer, de la oficina de estadísticas laborales, por un informe de empleo un tanto decepcionante para los intereses del Gobierno. Las acusaciones contra Cook son además muy similares a otras que se han realizado contra opositores de Trump como Letitia James y Adam Schiff, lo que indica que se trata de una una estrategia bien estudiada para librarse de altos cargos incómodos. Cook piensa resistir y el mercado no termina de ver la maniobra de Trump para hacerse con el control de la Fed por las malas. Los analistas, eso sí, ya han advertido sobre los riesgos de inflación que entraña comprometer la independencia del banco central. Powell, cuya gestión Trump cuestiona públicamente, anunció recientemente en Wyoming un posible recorte de tipos dirigido a compensar un mercado laboral débil y los efectos de los aranceles y las políticas migratorias de Trump. El mercado espera una reducción de 0,25 puntos en septiembre, pero Trump quiere bajadas más agresivas, lo que podría reavivar la inflación, que en 2022 superó el 9%. Interferir en la Fed es arriesgado. Ejemplos como el de Argentina o el de Turquía, donde los bancos centrales controlados directamente por el gobierno dispararon la inflación, son advertencias claras. La cuestión es que la Fed no es una entidad totalmente pública ya que combina elementos públicos y privados. Su independencia es clave para dotar de estabilidad del dólar. Si Trump logra destituir a Cook sin un proceso judicial, podría sentar un precedente para, a partir de ahí, controlar la Junta y el Comité de Mercado Abierto. Pero realmente no lo necesita, le basta simplemente con ser paciente y esperar a que el mandato de Powell venza dentro de unos meses. Pero a Trump le puede la impaciencia. No tiene en cuenta que si dinamita la independencia de la Fed un próximo presidente demócrata heredaría un banco central con el que podría hacer lo que le viniese en gana.

New Mercies, Every Morning. Lamentations is a collection of poetry composed and compiled shortly after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. The poems name God as the punisher of all Israel's sin. This is a God who initiates massive, generational suffering and blames the victim for it; imperial armies are only God's instruments of torture. BUT in the middle of the Lamentations comes an ode to God's mercy and steadfast love.

Bedtime History: Inspirational Stories for Kids and Families
Rising above the city of Athens, the Acropolis is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Greece. Home to the Parthenon and other magnificent temples, it was the heart of religious and cultural life in the 5th century BCE. This episode explores its history, architecture, and the role it played in shaping Western art, politics, and philosophy.
In June of 1287 BCE (approximately), one of antiquity's great conflicts unfolded in southern Syria. Meeting near Kadesh (Qidsha), the armies of Egypt and Hatti fought each other in a spectacular engagement. The events of that battle are recorded, somewhat grandiosely, by Ramesses II in temple art and extended hieroglyph narratives. With those as our foundation, we explore the most dramatic day in the young pharaoh's life.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell were pleasantly surprised last week to find out how much power the South Carolina Attorney General's Office's packed with its punch back to Alex Murdaugh and his increasingly embarrassing attempts at getting his murder conviction overturned. Six attorneys at the AG's office — including Creighton “BCE” Waters himself — compiled a nearly flawless 182-page response to Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffith's arguments in favor of an appeal. Let's just say, BCE and Co. ate and left no crumbs.
