Upakosha was known across the land for her extraordinary beauty—but even more remarkable was her intelligence.Betrothed to Vararuchi, a noble man who left on a long pilgrimage, Upakosha was left alone in her home. That was when power came knocking at her door. Influential men—the minister, the royal treasurer, and the army chief—each believed their position entitled them to her hand.Instead of fear, Upakosha chose wisdom.She invited them—one by one—under the cover of night. What happened inside her house did not involve swords or screams, but strategy, patience, and sharp presence of mind. By dawn, pride lay exposed, power stood humiliated, and justice arrived without violence.This ancient Indian tale celebrates courage, intelligence, and the quiet strength of a woman who refused to be cornered by authority.How did Upakosha defeat men who ruled the kingdom?What lesson did the king—and the court—learn that day?Listen to this timeless story of wit over power.

In this episode, Xan and Gretta delve into the charming yet complicated world of Betrothed to My Sister's Ex by Tobirano, with art by Chikage Nakakura. This manga adaptation of a hit light novel presents a classic Cinderella romance with a mistaken-identity twist. Does this tale of an overlooked baron's daughter and a dashing count earn its "happily ever after," or does the heroine's profound self-sabotage undermine the fantasy? We debate the highs and lows. In This Episode: Analyzing the classic "Cinderella with a twist" premise and its execution. A critical discussion about Marie's extreme self-deprecation and its impact on the romance. Sharing what we enjoyed about this popular shojo adaptation. The latest must-read manga releases and news.

Week one of House of Sky and Breath comes in hot. We're covering the prologue through chapter seven, and somehow Sarah J. Maas already dropped a forced betrothal, Thunderbird chaos, and enough tinfoil-hat theories to last the whole series. From Sophie and the brutal prologue, to Bryce and Hunt's painfully self-inflicted slow burn, to Cormac's surprise entrance and the Autumn King being his absolute worst self, this episode is a full deep dive with banter, side quests, and one end-of-episode theory that might actually break your brain. If you thought HOSAB started “slow”… we have thoughts.   Website→ https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/ Merch → https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/category/all-products Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod IG → https://www.instagram.com/lamebookclubpod/ Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/2exV4FVCLeN7mYfxcNs9cB?si=36805589642e442c Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l-a-m-e-book-club-podcast/id1703598706 PODCAST BUSINESS ENQUIRES: lamebcpodcast@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, I speak with Jonathan Czin, the Michael H. Armacost Chair in Foreign Policy Studies and a fellow at the Brookings Institution's John L. Thornton China Center. His new essay in Foreign Affairs, “China Against China: Xi Jinping Confronts the Downsides of Success,” challenges the dominant Western narrative of Xi Jinping as either Mao reincarnate or a brittle autocrat presiding over imminent collapse. Instead, Czin argues that Xi's most illiberal reforms can be understood as attempts to cure the pathologies of China's own success. We discuss his framing of Xi's “Counterreformation,” how it helps explain China's current political direction, and what it reveals about our own analytical blind spots in the West.7:15 – Xi's “reformation” and Carl Minzner's “end of reform and opening”12:18 – Corruption, decentralization, and the “lost decade” under Hu and Wen20:12 – Defining “resilience” and what Xi means by “eating bitterness”29:45 – The “downsides of success”: property, corruption, and governance contradictions45:30 – Counter-reformation vs. counterrevolution: what Xi wants to preserve and discard54:20 – The myth of yes-men: triangulation and feedback in Xi's leadership style1:07:07 – Cognitive empathy and why most U.S. analysis of Xi falls short1:15:35 – Systems that can't course-correct: comparing the U.S. and China1:22:05 – Cognitive empathy, ideology, and the problem of American exceptionalismPaying it forward:Jonathan: Allie Mathias and Dinny McMahonRecommendations:Jonathan: The Thirty Years War by C.V.

The holy Apostle was, by the world's reckoning, the nephew of our Savior, since his mother Salome was the daughter of St Joseph the Betrothed. Called 'the beloved disciple,' St John was the only one of Christ's disciples to follow Him to the Cross. He was entrusted by the Savior with the care of the most holy Theotokos, and became like another son to her, providing for her care until the day of her repose. He preached the Gospel of Christ throughout Asia Minor, especially in Ephesus. During the persecutions of the Emperor Domitian, he was taken in bonds to Rome, where he was subjected to various tortures; but when he emerged from these miraculously unharmed, he was exiled to the island of Patmos, where he wrote the book of Revelation.

The holy Apostle was, by the world's reckoning, the nephew of our Savior, since his mother Salome was the daughter of St Joseph the Betrothed. Called 'the beloved disciple,' St John was the only one of Christ's disciples to follow Him to the Cross. He was entrusted by the Savior with the care of the most holy Theotokos, and became like another son to her, providing for her care until the day of her repose.

Hosea: God and His Betrothed People

A daf of mishnayot - 3! Beginning with violations of the law that incur the death sentence with the execution of stoning. Beginning with Shabbat -- with just the exception of either exceeding the boundary of Shabbat OR igniting a fire -- different opinion as to which -- where the violation is a Torah prohibition, but the punishment is lashes. Next: One who curses his father or mother is only liable for stoning if one has cursed in the name of God (with debate whether it needs to be the full name of God). The 3rd mishnah is about the particulars of the violation of the betrothed girl who has an affair - she'll be stoned if she has the status of a na'arah (specifically defined) and has also accepted kiddushin, which took place about a year before the nisuin, final marriage ceremony. They don't have conjugal rights yet in this status, but she would need a divorce to marry someone else instead. The discussion continues to the finer points of how she might end up with an "affair," and how anal penetration would not change her status as a virgin, but the legal ramifications of this act that is still considered copulation and a violation mean a death sentence. All of these severity (to the death sentences) seems to protect this vulnerable party.

Betrothed or consummated?

I. His ordinary family. II. His extraordinary conception. III. His genuine humanity.

The holy Apostle was, by the world's reckoning, the nephew of our Savior, since his mother Salome was the daughter of St Joseph the Betrothed. Called 'the beloved disciple,' St John was the only one of Christ's disciples to follow Him to the Cross. He was entrusted by the Savior with the care of the most holy Theotokos, and became like another son to her, providing for her care until the day of her repose. He preached the Gospel of Christ throughout Asia Minor, especially in Ephesus. During the persecutions of the Emperor Domitian, he was taken in bonds to Rome, where he was subjected to various tortures; but when he emerged from these miraculously unharmed, he was exiled to the island of Patmos, where he wrote the book of Revelation. After the death of Domitian, he returned to Ephesus and there wrote his Gospel and Epistles. He reposed in peace at a great old age. When his disciples later opened his grave, they found that his body was not there. He is called the Theologian because of the sublimity of theological expression in his New Testament writings.

The reading list for 2025 is officially official! After a lively nominating season and much debate (which you can hear in this episode), we have chosen nine books to discuss next year. We're heavy on classics this year, by design—and we're going to take our time as we read them. If you'd like to hear how these books came to be chosen (and the books that didn't quite make the cut), click that “play'“ button to check our “Great Winnowing” conversation. Here's to a great year of reading together! A few notes: * You can click here buy these books through Goldberry Books.* The complete schedule, with dates and number of weeks per book, will be relased later this year. We do not yet know the order in which we will read them (including which will be read first). * The first subscriber-exclusive book for 2025 will be The Betrothed, an Italian novel by Alessandro Manzoni. We will announce the second title soon. * The titles in our monthly series on mystery fiction will be announced in early October Happy listening! This is a public episode.

Tonight, we'll read an Armenian folktale titled “The Betrothed of Destiny”. It comes from A.G. Seklemian's 1898 “The Golden Maiden and Other Armenian Folktales”. This particular story features a fearless, strong heroine. When Snoozecast first published this story back in 2020, we realize now that we had misspelled the author's last name as “Sekelmann”. Abraham Seklemian was an Armenian-American editor and author. He and his wife migrated to the United States seeking refuge from Turkish oppression. They settled in California, and he was the first editor of an Armenian-American bilingual daily newspaper that still publishes to this day. It is the only bilingual daily newspaper in the country, publishing five times a week. The author grew up hearing classic tales that were recounted by memory, as the custom was for the villagers in his homeland to gather during long winters to recite tales — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

They also touch on the misconceptions about biblical teachings and the importance of understanding the context of verses.

Love is essential in society, and hate is detrimental. Having conversations with people we may not align with is important. The words 'love' and 'hate' have been diluted in our culture. Masculinity should be redefined based on qualities like self-control and gentleness. Gratitude and understanding that everything happens for a reason are important aspects of faith.
