Montgomery, commanding ground forces for D-Day, gave a "scintillating" and persuasive briefing on his revised Overlord plan. He set objectives in Normandy, like capturing Caen, that were perhaps beyond the means of his exhausted British troops, worsening his relationship with American generals. Montgomery's Operation Market Garden failed to achieve its objectives; the absence of his trusted chief of staff, Freddy Duingan, removed a critical checks and balances system. Rommel showed moral courage by standing up to Hitler in June 1944, arguing the war was over and negotiations were necessary. Patton's swift repositioning of his Third Army to relieve Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge was his finest hour, surprising both allies and Germans.

How does a mechanical watch put out good vibes to the universe with every passing second? Listen in to the latest episode to find out! Our guest is the charming CEO of Sherpa Watches, Martin Klocke. I met Martin recently at Geneve Watch Days and the brand made quite an impression. Capturing authentic vintage vibes with superbly well executed dials in a true "Super-Compressor" case, the Sherpa line strikes quite a chord with a unique identity as a micro-brand out of Germany.  Listen in as we hear the full story of the inspiration behind this storied historical watch, first unveiled by Enicar in 1956 following a Swiss Expedition to Mt Everest. Enicar's SeaPearl watches proved to be incredibly reliable and suitable for extreme environments both deep underwater and as high as mankind would dare to explore, leading to the Sherpa rebranding. Martin shares with us his personal story of discovery of the famed Sherpa watches and his fascination with the 70 year old watches.  Today's faithful recreations provided many challenges to produce. It is wonderful to hear Martin talk about the production of the modern pieces and the technical brilliance of the original concept combined with further refinements. Only producing approximately 100 watches per year, today's Sherpa is a rare example of a passion project that celebrates technical brilliance, distinctive visual appeal and the rare achievement of faithfully respecting an original design with proportions that prove to be timeless. Combine all this with the world's first "Mantramatic" watch and there is far more than meets the eye with this incredibly compelling and fascinating wristwatch for the ages.  We hope that you enjoy Keeping Time podcast with host Jeremy Oster and co-host Doug Hoyt.

Overview Book talk and signing with Capt. Bryan Leese on At Sea Against the Soviet Fleet—the evolution of U.S. naval intelligence in the Cold War. ***This lecture is sponsored by the IWP IAFIE Alpha Student Chapter*** About the Lecture: At Sea Against the Soviet Fleet examines the critical transformation of naval intelligence during a pivotal era marked by the Cold War and the Vietnam conflict. Bryan Leese meticulously details how U.S. Navy operational intelligence evolved to meet the complexities of modern naval warfare, particularly in response to the increasing threats posed by the Soviet Navy. Structured into four main parts, this book begins by examining the Vietnam War and the institutionalization of shipboard operational intelligence, or what Navy intelligence calls Opintel. The book highlights the establishment of Integrated Operational Intelligence Centers as part of the RA-5C Vigilante program and the innovative strategies that emerged in air combat and targeting. Leese goes on to underscore the necessity of Opintel to the U.S. Navy's close and distant blockade strategy in the 1960s and 1970s. He delves into the decentralization of intelligence processes, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and the need to prevent surprise attacks. This evolution is framed within the transition to the Navy's Ocean Surveillance Information System, a decentralized and responsive operational intelligence system. The ongoing developments of shipboard intelligence capabilities are explored, demonstrating how these advancements empowered naval commanders. In the 1970s, the organizations evolved as the revolutionary Opintel adaptations of the 1960s that leveraged cooperation without hierarchy became formalized. Leese highlights the revolution to evolution process by introducing Opintel support to shipboard tactical decisions to integrate operational intelligence into comprehensive naval strategies. Capturing the essence of this transformative period, the author discusses the cultural dynamics within the Navy that fostered innovation and interdepartmental collaboration. These developments not only contributed to maintaining a strategic edge over the Soviet Union, but also laid the groundwork for future naval operations in the digital age. Leese's work reveals the intricate interplay between technology, strategy, and personnel in creating an effective intelligence framework that allows the U.S. Navy to assert influence at sea, setting conditions for sea control in conflict. By blending rich archival research with firsthand accounts, this book offers a nuanced understanding of how the Navy adapted to an ever-changing operational landscape, ultimately preserving peace while navigating the complexities of high-stakes maritime conflict. About the Speaker: Capt. Bryan Leese, USN (Ret.), was a career naval intelligence officer with extensive experience in operational intelligence, including key roles supporting ground combat operations and tours at sea, including as the N2 (head of intelligence) of the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and the George H. W. Bush Carrier Strike Group. He has held senior positions across the intelligence community, most notably as Chair, Defense Intelligence Department at the National Intelligence University, and as Branch Chief, Transregional and then North/West Africa in J2 (Joint Intelligence) Africa Command, during the 2011–2012 crisis in Libya. Before joining the Joint Forces Staff College in September 2023, Dr. Leese served on the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College's Joint Military Operations Department.

Capturing the sound-feel of real night quiet is special. It requires a lot of time and a location where quiet naturally occurs in more than just a fleeting way. Quiet is not silence. Silence is the absence of sound, whereas quiet happens when everything in the landscape is still audible. Just softer, and slower. Night brings quiet to natural and edgeland places. It enables us to better hear an environment's true spatialness and blend of sound signatures. By tying the Lento box to a tree looking down over the Warren on the Kent coast and exposing the microphones for over 50 hours non-stop, long periods of naturally occurring quiet were captured that serve as a true impression of this place. In this 90-minute passage of time taken from the dead of night on the second day of the recording, the sea can be heard distantly crashing onto the beach at the foot of the Warren. It surges and retreats, in slow unfurling rhythms. Close to the microphones, in the leaf litter around the tree, crickets call to each other in regular patterns, like naturally occurring clocks. Banks of wind blow in from time to time, gently ruffling leaves from left to right of scene. Sounds of indistinct origin sometimes echo across the valley, revealing the true width and depth of the space and far cries of seagulls, high flying in the vastness of the night sky.   Of course this is England, and only a short distance from France. The headlights of French cars are sometimes visible from this very point. The Strait of Dover is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, and a flight path runs directly over this area. Despite these mechanisms of human life, the planes that do overfly during this passage of time are quite gentle in the way they traverse the sky. It is the night quiet, and the sea, and the crickets that speak for themselves, and mean we just have to share this recording so everyone can be a sound-witness to the quiet of this place. * We made this recording back in August 2024. We didn't actually intend to leave the Lento box out recording for so long (into a third day) but we're glad we did.

Priya suggested, her face filled with curiosity and enthusiasm.Hi: "अभी नहीं, प्रिया। पहले फोटो खींचना ज़रूरी है," अरुण ने उत्तर दिया।En: "Not now, Priya. Taking photos is important first," Arun replied.Hi: लेकिन समय कम था और भीड़ बढ़ती जा रही थी।En: But time was short, and the crowd was growing.Hi: प्रिया ने अरुण को राजी किया कि थोड़ी देर के लिए वो दीवाली के जश्न में शामिल हों, जिससे अपने आप तस्वीर का एक अच्छा मौका मिल सकता था।En: Priya convinced Arun to join the Diwali celebration for a while, which might naturally provide a great photo opportunity.Hi: अचानक, आसमान में आतिशबाज़ी का जोरदार प्रदर्शन शुरू हुआ।En: Suddenly, a spectacular fireworks display began in the sky.Hi: दोनों किले के एक बेहतरीन व्यू पॉइंट तक पहुँचे।En: Both reached an excellent vantage point of the fort.Hi: वहां से अम्बर किला अद्वितीय लग रहा था।En: From there, the Amber Fort looked unique.Hi: दीयों की रौशनी में लिपटा हुआ वह किला किसी स्वर्गीय दृश्य से कम नहीं था।En: Wrapped in the light of lamps, the fort was nothing short of a heavenly scene.Hi: अरुण ने फुर्ती से कैमरा उठाया और उस क्षण को जीवंत बना दिया।En: Arun quickly picked up his camera and brought that moment to life.Hi: प्रिया अब बिना किसी योजना के रोमांच को महसूस कर रही थी।En: Priya was now experiencing the thrill without any plan.Hi: रंगीन आतिशबाज़ी ने आकाश को रोशन कर दिया।En: Colorful fireworks lit up the sky.Hi: अरुण ने तेज़ी से अपने कैमरे का बटन दबाया।En: Arun rapidly pressed the button on his camera.Hi: प्रिया वहीं खड़ी मुस्कुरा रही थी।En: Priya stood there smiling.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि कभी-कभी योजना के बिना भी जीवन का आनंद लिया जा सकता है।En: She realized that sometimes life can be enjoyed even without a plan.Hi: वहीं अरुण ने महसूस किया कि कभी-कभी सही तस्वीर के अलावा भी जिंदगी में बहुत कुछ होता है।En: Meanwhile, Arun realized that sometimes there's more to life than just the perfect photo.Hi: उनकी जयपुर यात्रा की यह शाम तो अनोखी थी पर इसने उनको कुछ नया सिखा दिया।En: This evening in Jaipur was unique for them, but it taught them something new.Hi: अरुण और प्रिया के दिलों में यह दिवाली हमेशा के लिए बस गई थी।En: The Diwali became etched in Arun and Priya's hearts forever.Hi: दोनों ने मिलकर केवल किले की नहीं, बल्कि दीवाली के उत्सव का भी आनंद लिया।En: Together, they enjoyed not just the fort, but the Diwali festival itself.Hi: आखिर में, यह यात्रा उनके लिए केवल एक यात्रा नहीं रही, यह एक खूबसूरत अनुभव बन गया।En: In the end, this trip was not just a journey for them; it became a beautiful experience.Hi: और इस तरह, अरुण और प्रिया ने यात्रा और जीवन के नए रंगों को पहचान लिया।En: And so, Arun and Priya recognized the new colors of traveling and life.Hi: दीवाली के रोशन रंग उनके जीवन की किताब में एक चमकदार पन्ना जोड़ गए।En: The bright colors of Diwali added a radiant page to their life's book.

Feeling like “just a homeschool mom”? Karen's story shows how to reconnect with yourself and reset your homeschool life. She admitted feeling nervous, even selfish, for wanting to invest energy in herself. But the process revealed something profound: when Karen came alive, her kids came alive too.

Based in New York City, Carol prefers to leave the studio and seek out the immediacy of city life, whether sidewalks, parks, boxing studios, or Coney Island. In this conversation, Carol Fabricatore shares her extensive experience as a professional illustrator and how she teaches advanced MFA students to advance on their creative journey. She talks about the mystery of capturing motion and energy in drawing, the role of fearlessness in artistic practice, and the transformative journey of students in MFA programs. She emphasizes the value of leaving the computer and drawing by hand, the necessity of experimenting and taking risks, and the significance of narrative and storytelling in art. Carol encourages even experienced artists to explore beyond their comfort zones, leave their existing style behind, and pursue a creative journey toward new ways of seeing and working. Carol began her career in editorial and book illustration, with work appearing in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Chicago Tribune. Over the years, her practice has expanded into fine art, where she combines acrylic and gouache to capture both the complexity and vulnerability of human experience. With a BFA from Parsons School of Design and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, Carol has spent more than two decades teaching narrative drawing.

Sir Ernest Shackleton's Trans-Antarctica Expedition - between 1914 and 1917 - has been described as one of the greatest adventures of all time. While photos were taken during the expedition - the full voyage hasn't been documented visually, until now. Antarctic and maritime artist Sean Garwood has spent years compiling photographs and studying accounts of the expedition and has now brought the story to life through oil paintings.

It’s a campaign celebrating everything that makes Wisconsin dairy farmers one of a kind — our pride, our work ethic, and our quirks. It’s funny, it’s real, and it reminds people that being “Born to Dairy” isn’t just a job — it’s a way of life. One of the stars of Wisconsin Originals – Born to Dairy, Andrew Christenson — or as folks know you online, The FarmTok Hotshot. This hilarious new campaign from Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin that’s already racked up over 1.5 million views. Aside from Christenson, the campaign also involves Wisconsin's own, Charlie Berens, bringing that signature Midwest humor. Berens helps highlight real Wisconsin farmers and industry folks — not actors or model— showing what makes this state’s dairy community legendary.Christenson says he's proud to be part of the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board, but he's even more proud of this latest effort to bring non-farm consumers into his world. Christenson persona is kind of the modern farmer — juggling tech, tradition, and a sense of humor. It’s a reminder that dairy looks different these days, but the heart’s the same. We’re still getting up before sunrise, still proud of our cows, but now we’re sharing it with the world. Every persona — whether it’s the Dairyland Darling, the Farm MacGuyver, or the MOOMaw — celebrates a different side of farm life. Together, it shows that no two farmers are the same, but we’re all Born to Dairy. Christenson they're looking for suggestion on the next set of "persona" - so if you have ideas, please share! Go to Born To Dairy - enjoy, share and suggest our next storytellers!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textWhat we celebrate reveals who we are. We open 1 Corinthians 13:6 and trace a straight line from our laughter, screens, and conversations to the loves that shape our lives. The theme is stark and liberating: love refuses to rejoice in unrighteousness and learns to rejoice with the truth. That clarity confronts how entertainment can dull our sense of holiness, how cultural approval can masquerade as compassion, and how gossip can turn our words into quiet weapons. It also offers something better: a way to cultivate joy that aligns with the heart of Christ.We walk through the subtle ways we “come alongside” darkness—by what we watch, applaud, and repeat—and why even passive approval deforms our character. Then we turn to the freedom found in truth: the gospel that anchors courage, the Scriptures that set our loves in order, and the daily practices that make a believer's life bright and credible. Along the way, we unpack why love protects rather than exposes, how speech can either heal or harm, and why celebrating obedience and repentance builds a culture of grace. A moving letter from a wife who kept covenant through decades of hardship gives a flesh-and-blood picture of what rejoicing in truth looks like when no one is cheering.If you're ready for a heart audit—of your inputs, your approvals, and your words—this conversation will give you handles to change what you feed your soul and what you celebrate out loud.

This week, I'm joined by Wyatt Wentz, rodeo videographer, storyteller, and lifelong stock contractor's son whose passion for Western sports runs deep. If you've watched any of the big rodeos in the Northwest lately, there's a good chance you've seen his work. We talk about how Wyatt got started and how he's grown a full-time career in video since 2020. We hear why his passion isn't necessarily for content or camera gear, but for rodeo itself. His story is a reminder that you don't have to be loud to make an impact, and that starting small can lead to something big. Wyatt also shares the lessons he's learned behind the lens, why his ultimate goal is to produce full-scale rodeos with Western music events included, and how people like Randy Quartieri helped him bet on himself when it would've been easier to play it safe. If you've ever been afraid to go all in on your own path, this is the episode for you!
