"When I sell the company, then I'll be happy." Psychotherapist Jo Swann says that one phrase is the most reliable predictor of a miserable exit. She would know. She made her money in the 90s, retired to an oceanfront apartment in Borneo, and fell straight into an existential crisis.  In this episode of Built to Sell Radio, part of our popular After the Deal series, Swann explains why the trap survives the wire transfer

Am Morgen sind Löwenspuren in der Asche des Lagerfeuers, direkt neben dem Zelt. Ringsum: Elefanten, Büffel, Giraffen, Löwen. Für die Tierfilmer Jens Westphalen und Thoralf Grospitz gehört das seit Jahrzehnten zum Alltag.Seit mehr als 30 Jahren drehen die beiden Tier- und Naturdokumentationen an den entlegensten Orten der Welt. In dieser Folge erzählen sie von ihren Dreharbeiten in Namibia und Botswana: von Erdmännchen in der Kalahari, die sie über Monate begleiteten, und von riesigen Elefantenherden im Chobe-Nationalpark.Jens und Thoralf erzählen, wie es ist, wochenlang in der Wüste zu leben, das Vertrauen wilder Tiere zu gewinnen und plötzlich zwischen hunderten Elefanten zu stehen. Sie berichten von Nächten mitten in der Wildnis, von Glücksmomenten während den Dreharbeiten und von einer Kamera, die ein Löwe kurzerhand mitnahm und die später auf unglaubliche Weise wieder auftauchte.Wer mehr von Jens und Thoralf hören möchte, kann auch in Folge 463 reinhören. Dort sprechen wir mit den beiden über ihre Dreharbeiten auf Borneo und über den Moment, in dem sie ein bislang unbekanntes Verhalten einer Orang-Utan-Dame mit der Kamera festhalten konnten.Zur Produktionsfirma von Jens und Thoralf geht es hier: https://zorilla.film/Jens Westphalen könnt ihr hier folgen:https://www.instagram.com/jens_westphalen/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jens-westphalen-a3b56238b/----------------------------------Redaktion & Postproduktion: Miriam Menz----------------------------------Dieser Podcast wird auch durch unsere Hörerschaft ermöglicht.

„Na Oxfordu a Cambridge je specifické to, že se hodně zaměřují na soft skills jako prezentační dovednosti nebo schopnost číst vědeckou literaturu,” přibližuje Jakub Niederle, student na Oxfordu v navazujícím dílu Studovny. „V prvním týdnu jsme dostali zadanou esej, u které se očekávalo, že vyplodíme text o rozsahu 4000 slov, což ze začátku zabíralo desítky hodin týdně,” vzpomíná.

Today on Beyond the Torch Todd and Leslie have an in-depth conversation with Jenna Lewis, one of Survivor's most iconic players, who appeared on the very first season (Borneo) and returned for All Stars and Survivor 50. They all three talk about Jenna's journey from a 22-year-old single mother of twins who stumbled upon a Hotmail ad for the show, to becoming a pop culture phenomenon — landing on the cover of Time magazine, appearing in an Eminem music video, and being mobbed by fans everywhere she went. The conversation covers the dramatic differences between old-school and new-era Survivor gameplay, Jenna's frustrating experience on Season 50 where she felt isolated without any pre-existing relationships with castmates, and a wide-ranging discussion touching on books, cosmetic procedures, leaving religious upbringings, self-worth, and the double standards women face compared to men. Throughout, Jenna comes across as candid, funny, and refreshingly self-aware, delighting us all with behind-the-scenes stories and sharp observations about reality TV culture.Our new Website is live!

For episode 254 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, we're excited to welcome Alison, Director at Buddies for Paws, a charitable initiative within the BONK ecosystem that's leveraging blockchain technology to support animal welfare and wildlife conservation worldwide. Every donation made through Buddies for Paws is matched 100% by BONK, and to date, the community has raised almost $600,000 for animal welfare.What makes Buddies for Paws special isn't just the model. It's the storytelling. Through their "guardian animals" program, donors can follow specific animals like Bani the elephant, who was struck by a train and abandoned by her herd before being rescued by Wildlife SOS, or Big Papa the orangutan, now living peacefully on a protected forest island in Borneo. It goes beyond statistics, and spotlights the powerful stories of individuals with names, and the community gets to be part of their journeys.So today we're going to talk about how Buddies for Paws came to be, what the partnership with BONK has unlocked, the power of memecoin communities rallying around causes, and what the future of crypto philanthropy might look like.In today's discussion you'll learn:

Eine Sekunde, die alles verändert: Eine Orang-Utan-Dame zeigt ein bisher unbekanntes Verhalten und schreibt Naturfilmgeschichte.Seit über 30 Jahren sind Jens Westphalen und Thoralf Grospitz, die Gründer von ZORILLAFILM, unterwegs, um genau solche Momente überall auf der Welt einzufangen. Meist zu zweit, oft unter extremen Bedingungen, mit viel Geduld, Frustrationstoleranz und dem richtigen Gespür für den einen entscheidenden Moment. Ihre Filme wurden vielfach ausgezeichnet, und ihre Doku “Wildes Japan” war sogar für einen Emmy nominiert.In ihrer Heimat Hamburg spricht Erik mit den beiden über ihre Arbeit als Tierfilmer: über Drehs, die Monate dauern und oft vom Warten geprägt sind, über Momente, in denen plötzlich alles passiert – und über die Herausforderung, Natur authentisch zu erzählen. Sie berichten von Begegnungen mit Orang-Utans auf Borneo, von seltenem Verhalten, das sie erstmals dokumentieren konnten, und davon, wie viel Glück, Erfahrung und Timing zusammenkommen müssen, damit solche Bilder entstehen. Es geht um Fragen wie: Wie plant man einen Film, wenn sich die Natur nicht planen lässt? Was bedeutet es, Tieren mit Bildern eine „Stimme“ zu geben? Und wie funktioniert ein Zweierteam über mehr als drei Jahrzehnte hinweg – trotz Hitze, Erschöpfung und intensiver Konflikte?INFOS & LINKS:Der Orang-Utan Film von Jens und Thoralf trägt den Titel: "Orang-Utans – So nah wie nie!“ und ist hier in der ARD-Mediathek abrufbar: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/erlebnis-erde/orang-utans-so-nah-wie-nie/ndr/Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS8zZjI0ZGE3Ni03YzVmLTQyYWQtOGIwOS1iZDhkM2ViNzhlMDM Ab dem 11.

Dr. Sook-Bin Woo on Adventure, Mentorship, and High Standards in Oral PathologyChristine interviews Dr. Sook-Bin Woo, DMD, an expert in oral and maxillofacial pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, about her career, training, and life lessons. Woo shares a formative post–dental school adventure climbing Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia and a dangerous trip across Borneo, and describes later solo travel to Turkey. She explains pursuing oral pathology far from home and being shaped by rigorous “old school” mentorship emphasizing exacting standards and articulating what you do know, while also valuing humility when diagnoses remain uncertain. Woo advises early-career academics to collaborate with peers slightly ahead, discusses the importance of emotional and cultural intelligence in training and patient care, and reflects on challenges as a woman and immigrant, including limited maternity leave, wage disparities, and raising two children with long commutes and childcare support. She closes by urging curiosity and kindness.00:00 Meet Dr Woo00:52 Mount Kinabalu Adventure03:32 Wasp Stings and Jeep Ride05:11 Solo Travel in Turkey05:53 Choosing Oral Pathology06:51 Old School Training Standards08:38 Rigor with Kindness10:34 When You Truly Dont Know12:28 Career Advice and Allies13:39 Emotional Intelligence Matters15:35 Women Immigrant Challenges17:30 Raising Kids and Commuting20:13 It Will Work Out21:20 Curiosity and Kindness

Though they are only insects, stick insects seem to have an amazing knowledge of their surroundings. They are geniuses at using their predators' weaknesses for their own protection.Stick insects are leaf eaters. Many of them look like little twigs. The longest insect in the world is a walking stick from Borneo that reaches a length of 13 inches. A tropical stick is as thick as a finger and the same color as the bamboo on which it is often found. It also has swollen ridges that make it look even more like bamboo. Other types have leafy flaps that match the leaves of the plants they frequent. Some stick insects go even further. They lay eggs that look exactly like the seeds of the plant on which they feed. A stick that's found in New Mexico glues its eggs to grass stems. The position and shape of the long-pointed eggs exactly mimic the seeds of that species of grass.While they don't fly, some sticks have brightly colored wings that they can rapidly unfurl. They use this ability to startle away nervous birds who might want to investigate them for lunch. Sticks will often sway with the breeze to make their illusion more effective. Some sticks will sit motionless for hours. Some birds understand this and will closely examine non-moving twigs. Sticks will often refuse to move even when being carried away by a bird. This tactic has fooled many birds into thinking it really was a twig and releasing it.Stick insects are clearly not the result of mindless chance. Their intelligence was created by the Creator of the universe.Isaiah 40:28"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.”Prayer: Dear Lord, I can never thank You enough that You are the Creator and in charge of the universe. Many in our world do not know this and live in hopelessness. Help us to reach them on their hopelessness with Your good news. Amen.REF.: Sivinski, John. "When is a stick not a stick?"

Sie zerschlugen die Fenster ihrer Tierklinik. Druckten ihr Gesicht auf Plakate. 10 Jahre Krieg gegen einen Delfin-Zirkus - und Femke hat gewonnen. Femke Den Haas lebt seit über 20 Jahren in Indonesien und macht Dinge, die kaum jemand auf der Welt macht: Sie holt Delfine aus chlorierten Pools zurück ins Meer. Sie befreit angekettete Affen aus Hinterhöfen. Sie hat Gesetze in Indonesien verändert. Und sie hat dabei Drohungen, eingeschlagene Fenster und 10 Jahre persönlichen Druck überlebt. Wir reden über alles, was Touristen auf Bali nicht zu sehen kriegen, über Roky den Delfin der nach drei Jahren Pool 1.000 km in die Freiheit schwamm, und über die Frage, woran du echte Sanctuaries von Tier-Scams unterscheidest. Femke ist Gründerin von JAAN Indonesia (Jakarta Animal Aid Network) und von Umah Lumba, dem weltweit ersten Langzeit-Rehazentrum für Delfine aus Gefangenschaft. Robert Marc Lehmann arbeitet seit Jahren mit @missionerde mit ihr zusammen, viele seiner bekanntesten Bali-Rettungen laufen über ihre Organisation. Wenn du jemals einen seiner Affen-Rettungs-Filme gesehen hast: Das ist die Frau dahinter. Darüber sprechen wir: - Wie man mit 16 allein in den Dschungel von Borneo geht und nie wieder zurückkommt - 10 Jahre Kampf gegen einen reisenden Delfin-Zirkus, inklusive Einschüchterung und Drohungen - Roky der Delfin, der nach 3 Jahren Pool 1.000 km in zwei Wochen in die Freiheit schwamm - Warum Bali-Touristen ungewollt eine Industrie finanzieren, die Tiere lebenslang foltert - Die geplante Wal-Rettung von Hope bzw. Timmy in der Ostsee und Femke´s Erfahrungen mit Walrettungen - Die drei Zeichen, an denen du jedes Fake-Sanctuary erkennst, bevor du Geld dort lässt - Wie Robert Marc Lehmanns Reichweite ein 20-jähriges Lebenswerk auf einmal sichtbar gemacht hat --

EPISODE OVERVIEW What does it look like when purpose isn't a department, a report, or a communications device — but the operating system of an entire business? Sara King is General Manager of Purpose at Intrepid Travel, one of the world's most recognised purpose-led businesses. She's responsible for delivering Intrepid's environmental, social and governance commitments across a remarkable scope: climate action, gender equality, modern slavery, reconciliation, animal welfare and the Intrepid Foundation. This is Carolyn's fourth Intrepid episode — and there's something poetic about it landing at Episode 99. The very first guest on this podcast, back at Episode 2, was Geoff Manchester, co-founder of Intrepid. Some organisations just keep giving you things worth talking about. In this conversation, Sara and Carolyn explore what it truly means to embed purpose into business strategy — not as an add-on, but as the guide for every significant decision the business makes. Including some very difficult ones. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why Sara describes her role not as a purpose leader, but as a facilitator of others creating impact — and why that distinction matters How Intrepid embeds purpose into its board-level scorecard, treating impact targets with the same accountability as financial targets The Antarctica decision: why Intrepid exited a profitable product on environmental grounds — and why revenue targets went up anyway How Intrepid's shift from carbon offsetting to a decarbonisation fund is reshaping its entire business strategy and growth profile The vertically integrated model that enables Intrepid's local impact — and the India story that brought it to life Why Intrepid's Borneo family trip is a masterclass in turning environmental education into lasting memory How Intrepid created an activism trip in response to US national park funding cuts — and why it sold out in ten minutes What B Corp certification has meant for Intrepid's culture of accountability — and what the new standards will demand Why purpose-led hiring attracts over 220 applicants for a single role — and what executives need to speak fluently at Intrepid ABOUT SARA KING Sara King is Intrepid's General Manager of Purpose, responsible for delivering the company's environmental, social and governance commitments, including as a signatory to the UN Global Compact and a certified B Corp. Her remit includes Reconciliation, Modern Slavery, climate change, gender equality, animal welfare and the Intrepid Foundation.

Dichter Regenwald, stundenlange Bootsfahrten flussaufwärts – und drei Orang-Utans, für die sich entscheidet, ob sie künftig wieder in Freiheit leben können: In dieser Folge ist Wildtierärztin, Autorin und Terra-X-Moderatorin Hannah Emde zu Gast und nimmt uns mit nach Borneo – in einen der ältesten Regenwälder der Erde. Für das Format „Terra X: Faszination Erde“ begleitet sie dort eine schwierige Orang-Utan-Auswilderung. In einer Auffangstation der Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF) wurden die Orang-Utans über Jahre auf ein Leben im Regenwald vorbereitet, bevor die riskante Reise tief hinein in ihr ursprüngliches Habitat beginnt. Hannah erzählt von der intensiven Zeit in der Auffangstation, von Ersatzmüttern und dem Moment der Freilassung – und von ihrer ganz persönlichen Verbindung zu Borneos Regenwald, der sie schon seit Studienzeiten begleitet. Sie spricht über Palmölplantagen, Lebensraumverlust und illegalen Wildtierhandel – und darüber, warum Schutzprojekte, Forschung und Wiederaufforstung dennoch Anlass zur Hoffnung geben.

Australian prisoners of war were forced to endure what became known as the Sandakan Death marches through the dense Borneo jungle

It's Tuesday, April 21st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Pope claims communion between Christians and Muslims Pope Leo XIV visited Algeria, Africa last week, and celebrated what he called “communion between Christians and Muslims” and the “shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace” -- whatever that is. Leo made no mention of the forced closure of Protestant churches as well as laws criminalizing evangelism, the distribution of Bibles, and posting Christian messages online. Out of the top ten countries in the world named for persecuting Christians, nine are Muslim-controlled nations. Psalm 12:1-2 is the cry of God's people in every age: “Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases!  For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.   Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.” Japan's major earthquake On Monday, Japan was hit with a major 7.7 earthquake on the Richter scale located on the northeastern side of Honshu. That's the biggest quake since 2015 to hit the island country. Experts are warning of another bigger quake potentially striking within a week. Fire on Borneo Island A huge fire displaced thousands on the Malaysian island of Borneo, reports NBC News. Almost 1,000 homes were consumed in the fire.  America's drought today worse than Dust Bowl days of 1934 God's hand is upon the United States.   The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Drought Monitor is registering worse drought conditions in America today than the Dust Bowl days of the Great Depression in 1934 — and the worst conditions since the monitor began in 1895. Over 60% of the 48 contiguous states are under moderate to exceptional drought conditions right now. That would include 97% of the Southeast, and 65% of the West. Also, the Drought Monitor places the last ten years, running from 2017 to 2026, as equally as severe as the ten years running from 1932 to 1941. These will be the two worst drought periods in recorded history for this country. In Leviticus 26:18-20, God warns of national droughts. He said, “If you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your Earth like bronze. And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.” President Trump vs. Rep. Chip Roy on “no-warrant surveillance” President Donald Trump has drawn criticism after expressing his support for the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act 702, which gives the government power to spy on citizens, in what is known as “no-warrant surveillance.” President Trump took to Truth Social, asking House Republicans to pass a “clean extension of FISA 702.”  Back in 2024, Trump wrote, “KILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS.” Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas explained to Fox News why Americans should be wary of federal overreach. Listen. ROY: “As one of my colleagues, Michael Cloud, said the other day: ‘Never does the intelligence community ever walk into the room and say, ‘Hey guys, you know what? We have all this power to go look at a lot of stuff. You know, today we're going to give some of it back.' “That literally never happens. So, Congress, representing the people, has to say, ‘Hold on. We need to stand up for people, make sure they're being protected.” Democrats trying to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth House Democrats are working to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth over his role in the Iran War, reports News Nation.  The impeachment articles, crafted by Democratic Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, allege that the Secretary of War “broke his oath to the Constitution, put U.S. troops at grave risk through the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, and engaged in abuse of office and conduct beneath the dignity of his office.” Eight Democrats are co-sponsoring the resolution, which is all but ensured to fail as Republicans control the House and Senate.  60% of Americans: Abortion should be legal in most cases Sixty percent of Americans now say abortion should be legal in most cases. That's the latest revelation from Pew Research. That's up from 51% in 2015 -- 10 years ago. Plus, 66% of younger Millennials, those between their  late 20s and early 30s, take this pro-abortion position compared to 57% of those over 65.   Among the 50 U.S. states, only Arkansas was pro-life in that the majority wanted abortion illegal in most cases. Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts were the most pro-death states in America, according to this survey. Nebraska's new law on homeschooling The State of Nebraska enacted a law, Bill 937, requiring a 14-day waiting period for public-school families who decide to homeschool their children. The law also bans parents who have prior convictions involving sexual crimes from homeschooling their children, reports World Magazine. Record-breaking stock market U.S. stock market euphoria is setting records, reports MarketWatch.com.   The Nasdaq Composite Index has jumped 18% in just 13 trading days — that's the biggest winning streak since 1992. Anniversary of Paul Revere's famous midnight ride And finally, this weekend marked the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's famous midnight ride and the battles of Lexington and Concord. Revere, who undertook his night journey along with fellow patriots William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, warned American patriots on the night of April 18th that the British, under the leadership of General Thomas Gage, were on the march. The next morning, April 19th, the “shot heard round the world” was fired on Lexington Green, and the first blood of the American Revolution was shed. The patriotic minutemen ultimately forced the British back into Boston in a running battle, securing the colonies their first victory. The American Revolutionary War would last until 1783, when the American colonies finally won their independence.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, April 21st, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

"Vores vigtigste musikalske inspiration er TNQ. Et unikt vokalensemble, dannet på øen Borneo af en anerkendt primatolog, med stor passion for fusionsjazz," sådan lyder det fra de to rumvæsner Khen og Klek. De står sammen bag den musikalske duo Angine de Poitrine. De er gået viralt med noget så særligt som mikrotonal punkmusik. Vi dykker ned i tonerne med komponist Allan Gravgaard Madsen, som mener at duoens musik viser en stræben efter det naturlige.

Aging hits different when you're a gay man over 40. The body shifts. Friends disappear. Mortality stops being abstract. In this raw conversation, Ken Breniman, author, therapist, and leader of naked yoga for LGBTQ+ men, dives into death awareness, grief, body shame, loneliness, and why avoiding mortality keeps you negotiating your life. We talk orangutans in Borneo, naked yoga as radical body acceptance, and the courage it takes to face the truth about aging.

To mark the recent passing of Henry C. Lee (李昌鈺), one of the world's most famous forensic scientists, we examine his extraordinary life. In Part 1, we're in impoverished postwar Taiwan. Lee is the eleventh of thirteen children. That, and his father dying on “China's Titanic,” means it's a childhood marked by tragedy and hardship. Lee walked barefoot to school to save his shoes. We follow his police training and work, service on Kinmen, a visa-overstay romance, and an unlikely detour running a tiny newspaper in Borneo.Part 2 follows Lee to the United States, where he rises to international fame through major criminal cases and where his golden reputation is somewhat tarnished by controversy.

Fifty years ago, a young Canadian scientist waded into the rainforests of Borneo, Indonesia with a mission in mind. She was there to study orangutans. Little did she know that she would become the world's foremost expert on the great apes, and would spend decades with them. Birute Galdikas became part of a group of well-known women studying our primate cousins -- along with Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey. The anthropologist, primatologist and Simon Fraser University professor died on March 24 at the age of 79. Listen to our conversation with Birute Galdikas in 2021

Francesco Aquilanti, Loretta Paderni"Sandokan"La tigre ruggisce ancoraFino al 28 giugno 2026, alla Reggia di MonzaUna mostra spettacolare e visionaria che riporta in vita l'eroe più indomabile della letteratura italianaMentre la nuova serie televisiva ha ricondotto Sandokan nelle case di milioni di italiani, a Monza arriva qualcosa che nessuno ha mai visto primaFino al 28 giugno 2026, gli spazi monumentali dell'Orangerie della Reggia di Monza ospitano Sandokan. La tigre ruggisce ancora: un viaggio di immersione totale nel Sud-est asiatico ottocentesco – reale e leggendario – attraverso Borneo, Malesia, India e Indonesia, così come li ha immaginati Emilio Salgari, lo scrittore che ha fatto sognare generazioni di lettori.Ideata e prodotta da Vertigo Syndrome e curata da Francesco Aquilanti e Loretta Paderni, l'esposizione è concepita come una grande epopea visiva e sonora, capace di far dialogare la fantasia letteraria con materiali storici autentici, in un continuo gioco di rimandi tra invenzione narrativa e realtà.C'è una nuova generazione che ha incontrato Sandokan per la prima volta grazie alla recente serie televisiva, riscoprendo oggi un eroe che appartiene a una tradizione molto più lunga. E ci sono gli adulti che con la Tigre della Malesia sono cresciuti: bambini negli anni Settanta, incollati allo schermo davanti allo sceneggiato con Kabir Bedi, oggi genitori pronti a riconoscere in quelle storie l'origine dei propri sogni di avventura. Ma la passione per questo personaggio ha trascorso almeno cinque generazioni a partire da quel martedì 16 ottobre 1883 quando il romanzo di Emilio Salgari “La Tigre della Malesia” con il suo protagonista Sandokan venne pubblicato in 150 puntate sul giornale “La Nuova Arena” di Verona. Un successo straordinario di pubblico, un fenomeno letterario che dura intatto da quasi 150 anni.Questa mostra è il ponte tra queste generazioni: un luogo in cui memorie e prime scoperte si incontrano.Sandokan incarna un bisogno universale e senza tempo: l'evasione, il mistero, l'attrazione per terre remote in cui misurare il coraggio, la lealtà, l'amore e il desiderio di autodeterminazione. Valori che attraversano le epoche e che oggi, in un presente inquieto e disorientato, tornano a parlare con una forza sorprendente.Un tesoro nascosto, svelato per la prima voltaPer la prima volta in assoluto vengono esposti reperti che il pubblico non ha mai potuto ammirare: la collezione etnografica originale dei Dayak, donata direttamente al Re d'Italia Umberto I da Sir Charles Brooke, discendente diretto del leggendario ma realmente esistito Rajah Bianco James Brooke, l'antagonista letterario di Sandokan.Sono gli oggetti reali, concreti, che accesero l'immaginazione di Emilio Salgari. Rimasti nascosti per oltre un secolo, tornano oggi alla luce in questa mostra.Un'esperienza che va oltre la mostra tradizionaleNon una semplice esposizione, ma un viaggio multisensoriale. I visitatori attraverseranno la giungla del Borneo, ascolteranno i misteriosi ramsinga e i tamburi di guerra, sentiranno i versi delle tigri e il fragore delle battaglie navali.Ambienti ricreati con cura, minuzia e originalità, materiali storici, immagini, testi, suoni e voci costruiscono un racconto stratificato, capace di coinvolgere il visitatore su più livelli. Un percorso narrativo che farà battere il cuore a grandi e piccini.Antiche carte geografiche sveleranno il mistero dell'isola dei pirati. La giungla prenderà vita con effetti sonori e scenografici degni di una produzione cinematografica. Fotografie d'epoca, tavole botaniche rare e illustrazioni originali trasporteranno il visitatore in quel «caos di vegetali» dove «di notte è un frastuono orribile di urla, di ruggiti, di sibili che gela il sangue».Oggetti e abiti autentici provengono da prestigiose collezioni e musei italiani che hanno contribuito come partner alla realizzazione questa mostra. Ogni pezzo racconta una storia. Ogni arma evoca una battaglia. Ogni ornamento sussurra i segreti dell'Oriente misterioso, così come è rigorosamente descritto dalla penna di Emilio Salgari.Illustrazioni originali, materiali editoriali, immagini cinematografiche e fumettistiche mostrano come questi personaggi abbiano attraversato epoche e linguaggi, fissandosi nell'immaginario collettivo come figure archetipiche dell'avventura, del coraggio e della lealtà.Emilio SalgariLa penna spezzataNelle ultime aree del percorso emerge il ritratto di Emilio Salgari: scrittore popolarissimo e insieme tragicamente sfruttato, autore instancabile, costretto a una produzione incessante da un sistema editoriale che ne consumò il talento senza riconoscerne pienamente il valore.La celebre penna spezzata lasciata sul suo tavolo di lavoro è l'emblema, il gesto simbolico estremo prima che Salgari ponga fine alla propria vita nel 1911. È l'immagine di una parabola dolorosa: quella di un autore capace di creare mondi sconfinati e personaggi liberi e ribelli, ma imprigionato nella realtà da debiti, contratti vessatori e isolamento culturale e da continui drammi familiari.Eppure, già in vita, Salgari era riconosciuto come una figura centrale della cultura popolare italiana. Nel 1897 fu insignito del titolo di Cavaliere dell'Ordine della Corona d'Italia per aver saputo «istruire dilettando» intere generazioni di giovani lettori. Un riconoscimento che convive, in modo emblematico, con la durezza delle sue condizioni di lavoro. Un contrasto che rende la sua figura oggi più che mai attuale.La Regina Margherita di Savoia nel 1897 nominò Salgari Cavaliere, riconoscendogli il merito di avere «istruito dilettando». Questa mostra continua in direzione di quella missione: insegnare la storia, la geografia, l'antropologia attraverso l'avventura e l'emozione.Dai bambini affascinati dall'avventura agli adulti nostalgici, dagli studiosi di letteratura agli appassionati di cultura orientale: una mostra che unisce tre generazioni sotto il segno della vera avventura.Riportare Salgari al centro del dibattito culturale significa valorizzare un patrimonio italiano troppo a lungo sottovalutato: uno scrittore tradotto in tutto il mondo, che ha ispirato il cinema da Sergio Leone a George Lucas.«La notte del 20 dicembre 1849 un uragano violentissimo imperversava sopra Mompracem…»Così iniziava l'avventura di Sandokan. Oggi, quella tempesta sta per tornare.Come consuetudine di Vertigo Syndrome, la mostra sarà arricchita da un ricchissimo calendario di eventi collaterali, incontri, laboratori e attività didattiche che approfondiscono gli argomenti collegati alla mostra, trasformandola di fatto in una sorta di festival tematico.Vertigo Syndrome ha un occhio di riguardo per le famiglie che visiteranno la mostra, di modo che nessuno debba annoiarsi.I visitatori più piccoli saranno coinvolti in giochi e avventure all'interno del percorso espositivo al termine dei quali riceveranno in omaggio un premio “piratesco” e avranno a loro disposizione un piccolo spazio dove disegnare, colorare e partecipare a giochi a loro dedicati.Per tutte le scuole di ogni ordine e grado sono previste delle visite guidate alla mostra e dei laboratori didattici.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Biruté Mary Galdikas passed away on March 24, 2026, at the age of 79. She spent more than 50 years studying orangutans in Borneo and fighting to protect them. Before she began her work, orangutans were the least understood of the great apes. She changed that. Her research formed the foundation of what we now know about orangutans. She was the first to learn what they ate, how they lived, how they moved, their long interbirth intervals, and so much more. Including the many threats to their survival. Her lifelong dedication inspired generations to care about orangutans and their forests, and to pursue careers in the field she helped shape. ⁠ I had the honor and privilege of interviewing Birute Galdikas in 2021, on the fiftieth anniversary of her study. We're re-releasing this episode in her honor.  Links: Orangutan Foundation International Ways to get involved In Memory of Dr. Biruté Marija Filomena Galdikas: A remembrance by primatologist Erin Vogel Origin Stories is a project of The Leakey Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding human origins research and outreach.

As we enter a decisive week for Middle East warfare and diplomacy, South East Asia is watching with deepening collective and national economic concerns. Gary and Hannah start the week in Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia in search of answers to South East Asia's big travel questions. What are the implications of the upcoming ASEAN Leaders' Summit being cut to "the bare bones"? As Singapore delays implementation of its Sustainable Aviation Fuel Levy, is now the right time for Thailand to revive its THB300 Tourism Tax? Plus, cruise terminal development is a hot topic in Malaysia's Sarawak state on the island of Borneo, and Thailand wants to construct cruise terminals on the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman coast. Plus, we head to Singapore's beautifully fragrant Flower Dome, where robot smart dogs will provide new accessible tourism services.

What if staying athletic for life isn't about doing one thing really well — but learning how to start over, again and again?Susan Hunt has spent the last four decades doing exactly that.She describes herself as “very average” — yet she's completed Ironman triathlons, raced the Eco-Challenge in Borneo, run the Marathon des Sables across the Sahara, and summited Mount Everest at 53.Now at 68, she's still competing — recently winning her age group at a Half Ironman and qualifying for the World Championships.What makes Susan different isn't just what she's done.It's how many times she's started over.In this conversation, we explore what it really takes to stay capable for decades — not just physically, but mentally.We talk about reinvention as a skill, how to approach training across different disciplines, and why knowing when to turn back might matter more than pushing forward.This is a conversation about building a body that lasts — and a mindset that keeps expanding.

One of the biggest names in food is undoubtably Phil Rosenthal. The creator of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond' has gone on to write cookbooks, children's books, and present food and travel documentaries, including eight seasons of ‘Somebody Feed Phil'. He's effortlessly entertaining, and has figured out a way to bring his passion to the stage, visiting New Zealand and Australia in a few months' time for a moderated conversation about his life, career, food, travel, and family. 'Somebody Feed Phil' is incredibly popular, with Rosenthal's love and appreciation for the things he experiences keeping audiences coming back. “There's enough in the world to make you angry and scared and frustrated, but I'm here to tell everyone that most of the world is not that,” he told Mike Hosking. “I sold the show with one line, this is the line: I'm exactly like Anthony Bourdain, if he was afraid of everything.” Bourdain, an American celebrity chef, hosted a wide range of food and travel programmes throughout his career, exploring international culture, cuisine, and the human condition. “I would watch Anthony Bourdain like everyone else and was a huge fan, and I thought, this guy's a superhero, he's amazing – I'm never doing that,” Rosenthal explained. Unlike Bourdain, Rosenthal is not the type to travel to Borneo and get a traditional hand-tapped tattoo from the native Iban people, and he bet most of the audience is the same. “So maybe there's a show for people like me, who are sitting on the couch, and maybe just getting off that couch is taking a giant step out of their comfort zone.” “I figured out a niche for myself.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it really take to deliver a cross-border energy project? In this episode of Energypreneurs, I share the untold story behind the Asian Development Bank–financed West Kalimantan–Sarawak transmission line — a project that took seven years, dozens of stakeholders, and relentless persistence to bring to life. This is not a technical discussion. It's a human story. From early skepticism and missing documentation to pricing negotiations, stakeholder alignment, and on-the-ground challenges in Borneo, this episode reveals what actually happens behind large infrastructure projects — far beyond what you see in headlines. In the second part, I distill key lessons from the journey: Why you must start before you're ready Why people — not technology — determine success How pricing unlocks progress The importance of champions and alignment Why public sector financing is critical for cross-border projects Finally, I connect these lessons to today's energy transition — where regional grids, renewable energy, and cross-border collaboration are more important than ever. If you are working on infrastructure, energy, or large-scale projects — this episode is for you.

With so much carnage in the news cycle, it's easy to overlook the wellbeing of the world's rainforests like the Amazon, the “lungs of the planet.” On today's show, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with Laurel Sutherlin of the Rainforest Action Network about the importance of protecting this precious resource from deforestation caused by industrial agriculture.  Sutherlin says that the world's rainforests are integral to global climate and the products that are being consumed in the US are destroying them. He wants more people to understand that deforestation is the second leading cause of the climate crisis and that's being driven by industrial agriculture like palm oil plantations. This is also a human rights story, says Sutherlin, as rainforests around the world are home to Indigenous peoples. The Rainforest Action Network works to hold the companies extracting resources and violating the human rights of Indigenous peoples accountable. Sutherlin says that the countries driving deforestation will often set up shell companies to shield themselves from accountability.  From March 21-18, the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement is calling for a boycott of Chevron. Sutherlin says that Chevron is a “poster corporation” for the destruction of the rainforests. In Ecuador they left hundreds of open pit oil pools throughout the rainforest, polluting drinking water and food sources. They also talk about the link between war and climate change, the shining examples of Indigenous leadership and climate activism, National Oreo Day in opposition to the Mondelēz International corporation, and the health of rainforests from Sumatra, to Borneo and the Congo.  Laurel Sutherlin is the Director of Strategic Communications at Rainforest Action Network, where he has worked on international conservation and human rights campaigns for over 15 years. Laurel also sits on the board of Directors of a bioregional, forest protection group in Oregon called the Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center (KSWild). He is a lifelong birder, naturalist and outdoor educator. He currently lives in Kingston, in the Hudson Valley of New York State, where he hosts a weekly live radio talk show program called Nature Nuggets.

This hour long mix comprises of field recordings made on and around Spring Equinoxes of various years. It takes you down through the Northern Hemisphere – from my sitting room in East London to a cottage balcony in the tropical  forests of Borneo. Listen for Slovenian jackals, Polish moor frogs, a Himalayan shepherd herding sheep, a hippopotamus getting ready for the night in Sierra Leone and choirs of birds singing across the globe. It was only in researching for this show that I realised the equinox actually refers not to a whole day but a single moment in time, when the sun faces directly over the equator, granting the entire globe with roughly equal length days and nights around it. I was captivated by this idea of a single moment of equilibrium and the impossibility of capturing that – which is much like the experience of listening itself, always dissolving as soon as you try to catch hold. And the equinox moment itself is both something of a physical reality, and pure idea, constructed entirely by an imaginary line humans have drawn and named the equator. Again, this paradox seems to resonate with the act of field recording, which both records a physical reality of a time and place through the sound waves that are imprinted through a microphone, but also creates a totally new and artificial object of its own. Whilst lines of longitude go from east to west and determine clock time, lines of latitude go from North to South and determine climate, with the suns rays becoming more intense the further south we go. Whilst enjoying one of the first sunny days we've had in London (where I am) in a long time, I decided to structure this mix along lines of latitude, moving from North to South through the Northern Hemisphere. I wonder if listeners will be able to feel the sun's intensity increasing through their ears. It was a privilege to shape these extraordinary sounds into a journey. Whilst making it I found myself contemplating the equinox as a time of both stillness and motion, sameness and divergence, meeting and departure – and I invite you to listen into this space of contradiction with me.

After the fall of Singapore 80 000 British, Indian and Australian troops became prisoners of the Japanese Imperial Army. Many of these men would be subjected to the horrors of the Thai Burma railway, but around 2 500 were to suffer and even worse fate. They would be sent to Borneo to build an airstrip for the Japanese near the village of Sandakan. After years of brutality, with the fear of an Allied landing somewhere on Borneo, the Japanese authorities decided to move the prisoners over 250 km to the village of Renau, signaling a new level of suffering for the POWs. https://www.australianmilitaryhistorypodcast.com/https://www.patreon.com/c/u46029761?view_as=patron&vanity=u46029761 Hosted on Acast.

The conversation explores Lavi Daniel's artistic philosophy, life journey, and views on creativity, consciousness, and the purpose of art. The discussion ranges from practical artistic advice to deep philosophical reflections on awareness, intuition, and the interconnected nature of reality.Daniel emphasizes that art is not primarily about technique or intellectual concepts but about awareness, surprise, and poetic expression. His career path was unconventional—leaving formal art school, living in a teepee in the redwoods, studying indigenous textiles in Borneo, and eventually developing his artistic voice through persistence and intuition.A recurring theme is that great art emerges from stillness, trust, and deep curiosity rather than rigid planning or analysis. Creativity, according to Daniel, comes from cultivating conditions where surprise and insight can occur.The interview also explores how mindfulness, psychedelics, nature, and exposure to great art can expand perception and deepen creative expression.

Borneo—split between two countries, home to some of the world's oldest rainforests and a vast array of animal and plant life—is back in the news. The island is set to be home to Nusantara, Indonesia's new planned political capital set to, maybe, open in 2028. And the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak—different from the rest of Peninsular Malaysia—are griping for more rights and authority to control its own wealth. Author Olivier Hein tackles the long history of Borneo in his latest book titled, appropriately, Borneo: The History of an Enigma (Hurst, 2025). He tackles Borneo's indigenous communities; the spread of Hindu, Chinese, Muslim and European influence; the rise of the White Rajah; and how Borneo is treated by today's modern nations. A former diplomat with the UN, the OSCE and the UK, Olivier Hein has undertaken postings in Kosovo, Turkmenistan, the USA and France. He is also the author of Star and Key: The Historical Adventure of Mauritius and Mother of the World: The Remarkable History of Turkmenistan. He is also a regular contributor to The Chap magazine.

In this powerful episode of Beyond the Arts, we sit down with Dr. Lars Krutak, known globally as "the tattoo anthropologist," to explore the profound world of indigenous tattooing traditions. For nearly 30 years, Lars has traveled to over 50 countries, working with 50-60 indigenous communities to document tattooing practices that are rapidly disappearing. His journey began in 1996 in Alaska, where he encountered a Gwich'in elder with traditional chin tattoos, sparking a lifelong mission to preserve these visual narratives before they vanish forever.Lars shares incredible stories from his fieldwork, from the St. Lawrence Island Yupik elders who taught him that tattoos are "life stories on skin" to the medicinal tattoos in Borneo that mirror techniques used by the 5,000-year-old Iceman. He discusses the devastating impact of colonization and boarding schools on tattooing traditions, and how contemporary indigenous communities are reclaiming these practices as acts of healing and cultural resurgence. Lars emphasizes the ethical dimensions of his work, always prioritizing community consent, giving back resources, and centering indigenous voices in his publications.This conversation goes far beyond aesthetics to reveal how tattoos function as medicine, cosmology, historical records, and declarations of indigenous identity. Lars's latest book, Indigenous Tattoo Traditions, published by Princeton University Press in 2025, represents decades of collaboration with tattooed elders and their communities. Whether you're interested in anthropology, indigenous cultures, art history, or the healing power of cultural reclamation, this episode offers profound insights into traditions that deserve recognition as vital contributions to human heritage.

Lionel dives deep into the bizarre evolutionary and psychological reasons humans are so obsessed with dogs, while issuing a stern warning about the absolute insanity of owning a Belgian Malinois. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when an 80-year-old caller shares incredible stories of working in 1960s New York radio before joining the Peace Corps in the jungles of Borneo to avoid the draft. Throw in a horrifying tangent about the soul-crushing stench of a whale's blowhole, a tease about debunking medical myths, and a passionate rant on why American music is the nation's ultimate unrivaled triumph, and you've got a classic, unpredictable hour of late-night talk.

Caroline Paul is an adventure seeker. She's been a white-water rafting guide and pioneered first descents on unexplored rivers in Borneo. To experience wing walking, she strapped herself to the top of a biplane while it performed maneuvers like loops and rolls. She's also racked up credits as a luge athlete, that crazy sport where you race down steep, icy tracks on small sleds, lying on your back. Now, Paul pilots a gyrocopter, a machine that might remind you of a praying mantis with wings. We talk about how the thrill of flight relates to themes of love and why Paul says it's easier to learn a landing than a human heart. "Now What?" is produced with help from Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

Emily Flippen & Jenna Lewis-Dougherty Survivor 50 Preseason Interviews Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) is here to chat to the cast of Survivor 50! Join us to hear from your favorite returning Survivor players! Survivor 50 preseason interviews are here, as Mike Bloom sits down with Emily Flippen and Jenna Lewis Dougherty to uncover what's driving some of the season's most intriguing castaways. In this deep-dive episode, Survivor 45 standout Emily returns to Fiji after publicly swearing off a comeback, while OG icon Jenna Lewis makes her fierce return to the game after more than two decades away. Hear firsthand how these two women—each with unique Survivor journeys—plan to navigate the complex social web and shifting strategies of the milestone 50th season. The episode starts with Emily Flippen explaining how she surprised even herself by returning for Survivor 50, when she'd once insisted she was done with the game. Emily opens up about her mindset shift, wanting to control her narrative after feeling her “softer” story arc in season 45 left an incomplete lesson. She discusses the pressure of fan expectations, overcoming personal insecurities, and why she's aiming for a “Goldilocks zone” between directness and tact. Jenna Lewis Dougherty, meanwhile, reveals how the game has—and hasn't—changed since Borneo and All-Stars, describing her plan to weaponize being underestimated and use “conjecture flattery” as a tool. Mike explores their thoughts on the new era, their targeted alliances, and what it takes for an old-school or new-school player to thrive among legends and wildcards. Emily reflects on her evolution, admitting she didn't love the lesson viewers took from her arc on Survivor 45, and wants to prove you don't have to change your core to succeed. Jenna outlines her “mommy complex” strategy, aiming to bond with younger players and then outmaneuver them at critical moments. Both women assess their competition, highlighting who they see as friends or threats—with hilarious, candid takes on castmates like Coach, Aubry, Ozzy, and D. Emily weighs the impact of social media buzz and fan perception, while Jenna describes using her “real life” negotiation skills in the cutthroat Survivor world. Strategies for handling returning players, “winner killers,” alliance flips, and being underestimated are front and center. As the cast prepares to hit the beach, questions loom: Can Emily strike the right balance between bluntness and gameplay finesse? Will Jenna's old-school instincts keep her safe among the sharks—or lead to her early downfall? Who will take control in a game where every move is scrutinized?
