I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   American Conservative University Podcast (ACU) is not an official representative for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Is There Life After Death? Scholar Analyzes 500+ Cases over 50 Years. Gary Habermas was one of the first Christian scholars to study near-death experiences in the early 1970s. Thus, he has been studying them over 5 decades! How has the evidence changed? According to Dr. Habermas, we have hundreds of NEW documented, evidential cases just in the past few years. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Habermas about the cases he has collected and analyzed. Some involve accurate details observed miles away from the patient's body, blind individuals seeing for the first time and verifiable medical data that naturalistic explanations simply cannot explain.

This week on Visual Intonation, we sit down with Max-Arthur Mantle, a Jamaican-born artist whose lens, pen, and voice challenge silence. As a writer, photographer, and filmmaker, Mantle builds bridges between the Caribbean and the diaspora, between queerness and culture, between pain and power. His debut novel Batty Bwoy didn't just tell a story. It reclaimed one. In this conversation, Mantle takes us behind the scenes of his boldest work yet: BATTY BWOY!, the feature film adaptation that will become the first LGBTQ-themed narrative ever filmed on Jamaican soil. We talk about reclaiming slurs, confronting polite homophobia, and why it's not enough to be tolerated — you must be seen. You must be heard. You must be accepted. We trace Mantle's path from fashion photography to fiction, from Howard University classrooms to film festival stages. He reflects on growing up queer in Jamaica, on the resilience of diasporic identity, and on the global responsibility of storytelling. This episode is about more than art. It's about truth. It's about healing. It's about that 13-year-old boy afraid of his own future, and the man who now tells him: you are not alone. If you've ever felt erased, if you've ever fought to make your story visible, this episode will speak to you. Tune in as Max-Arthur Mantle offers not just a conversation, but a call — to create, to confront, and to care. https://www.gofundme.com/f/ub8n6-support-jamaicas-first-lgbtq-feature-film/e/o?attribution_id=sl:a10e5f1c-7907-4845-91ae-5c2257e6fc71&lang=en_US&ts=1751960877&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp14_t2-amp15_t3&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=email&v=amp14_t2Info@battybwoyfilm.comhttps://battybwoy.com/  Max-Arthur Mantle  Source: Instagram Max-Arthur Mantle

"...and as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do." In this episode, Professor Johnson (Baylor U.) explores the origins of American theories of diplomacy and the importance of race and freedom in early American history. These concepts are seen most clearly in early relations between the USA and France, particularly the French colony of Saint-Domingue (modern day Haiti). This episode covers the period between the First Treaty of Paris (1763) and the Second Treaty of Paris (1783). Topics include: -the origins of American diplomacy -the conditions in the First Treaty of Paris that enflamed colonial tensions in North America, the Caribbean, and even Africa -the evolving racial politics amongst whites, free people of color, and slaves in Saint-Domingue, which had 128 categories of racial distinction -the similarities and differences between racial politics and colonial politics in British North America and French Saint-Domingue -the fascinating story of Crispus Attucks, a Massachusetts slave who freed himself and then became the first martyr in the Boston Massacre -strategies of black liberation in both French and British colonies -black authors who wrote about black emancipation, including Phillis Wheatley and Lemuel Haynes -John Adams' founding foreign policy theory of the new United States, namely the rejection of Europe's concept of the balance of power and military alliances -the first treaty between France and the US in 1778 -the story of the Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue, who fought with American rebels at the Siege of Savannah and who, after the American Revolution, returned to Saint-Domingue to lead the Haitian Revolution against the French Empire -the importance of Article 1 of the second Treaty of Paris (1783), which states: "His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States...to be free sovereign and Independent States; that he treats with them as such, and for himself his Heirs & Successors, relinquishes all claims to the Government, Propriety, and Territorial Rights of the same and every Part thereof." You can find a link to Prof. Johnson's new book, Entangled Alliances (Cornell UP) here: [Entangled Alliances: Racialized Freedom and Atlantic Diplomacy during the American Revolution](https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501783715/entangled-alliances/#bookTabs=1) The cover image features a reproduction of Paul Revere's famous lithograph of Crispus Attucks being killed during the Boston Massacre.

On episode 96 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum take a look at Kamala Harris’ new tell-all memoir, the possibility of a Trump 3rd term, and the extrajudicial killings by the U.S. and Israeli militaries. In Kamala Harris’ new memoir, she speaks candidly about her relationship with Joe Biden, his staff, and the 2024 race for President. She holds nothing back and our hosts speculate her criticism of Biden will NOT be taken lightly by the establishment. Trump has not explicitly said that he’s going to run for a third term, in violation of the 22nd amendment. However, his team is selling “Trump ‘28” hats, and he hasn’t ruled it out. Knowing Trump, why aren’t those in power taking this possibility more seriously? Israel tried to kill Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar (a close U.S. ally) while those leaders were meeting to discuss a proposed Gaza ceasefire, eliminating the possibility for peace. Meanwhile, the U.S. military blows up a boat in the Caribbean that the Trump administration claimed was running drugs without providing evidence. These extrajudicial killings undermine international law and American prestige. This is not the first time Israel has sabotaged U.S.-led negotiations with airstrikes, eliminating the possibility for peace and straining U.S. relationships with its Mid-East allies.

As France gets its fifth prime minister in three years, demonstrators who responded to a call to block the country talk about feeling ignored by the government. Residents and business owners in Paris' picturesque Montmartre neighbourhood hit out at overtourism. And the brutal history of France's colonisation of the Caribbean island of Martinique, one of five French overseas departments. For many critics of French President Emmanuel Macron, his nomination of close ally Sebastien Lecornu to replace François Bayrou as prime minister is a slap in the face, and further proof that the government is ignoring people's wishes.  Participants in a movement to shut down the country on Wednesday talk about feeling unheard, and draw comparisons with the anti-government Yellow Vest movement from 2018-2019. (Listen @0') Tourists have long been drawn to the "village" of Montmartre, with its famed Sacre Cœur basilica, artists' square, winding cobbled streets, vineyards and pastel-shaded houses. But the rise of influencers and instagrammers who post picture-postcard decors, as featured in hit films and Netflix series, have turned it into a must-see destination. With tourists now outnumbering residents by around 430 to one, the cohabitation is under strain. Béatrice Dunner, of the Association for the Defence of Montmartre, is calling on local authorities to follow the example of Amsterdam and tackle overtourism before it's too late. (Listen @13') On 15 September 1635, a group of French colonists claimed the Caribbean island of Martinique, establishing a plantation economy reliant on slavery. Its economic and cultural legacy continues to shape the island today as an overseas department.

✦ Produced at Assembly Studios in Atlanta, CBS's "Beyond the Gates" follows the relationships, rivalries, and secrets that follow the residents of the fictional gated community of Fairmont Crest. The fall season of the first African American daytime soap opera kicked off on Monday and features a diverse lineup of veteran talents and fresh faces. Two of the latter include actors Colby Muhammed and Ambyr Michelle, who play rival sisters Kat Richardson and Eva Thomas. The two burgeoning scene stealers recently spoke with City Lights Collective member Kenny Murray about their personal career journeys and what's ahead for the freshman daytime drama. ✦ We love hearing from our artistic community In Their Own Words. This is where they tell us who they are, what they do, what they love, and a few things you might not see coming. What things? Who knows, there's only one way to find out. Today, we hear from Atlanta artist Demetri. ✦ 23-year-old singer ivri has carved out a distinct place for herself in the internet's hyper-saturated music scene. She made her debut at the age of 15, posting faceless snippets of her singing on Instagram that garnered hundreds of thousands of views and a dedicated fanbase that has stuck with her for the better part of a decade. Now a seasoned musician with millions of monthly listeners worldwide, Ivri released her debut album, "Tower of Memories," last month, and is embarking on her first headlining tour across the country. Ahead of her Atlanta performance at Masquerade on September 16, she spoke with City Lights Collective member Jacob Smulian and began by explaining what it was like to take a leap of faith and move to New York City, by herself, at only 18 years old. ✦ Starting in the 1880s, each year on September 1, every single lease in the City of Atlanta—yes, the entire city—expired and renters moved out and into new homes…on the exact same day. Wagons jammed the streets. Furniture everywhere. Tempers flaring. Back pain? Guaranteed. From utility workers following behind to reset phone lines and gas, to real estate tycoons begging for more rental properties. So how did it all work? And when did it finally disappear? City Lights Collective member and self-proclaimed history nerd Victoria Lemos has more. ✦ Atlanta's first-ever full-time string quartet is celebrating 20 years with a free concert tomorrow, September 12. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans shares more about the Vega Quartet. ✦ There are not many places and productions where Orisha Mythology, Caribbean folklore, dance, and Black Punk music all come together to create an artistic gumbo that is sure to stick to your ribs and blow your mind. In Atlanta, we are in luck because F.Punk Junkies is such a production, and 7Stages is the place to see it. City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode caught up with some of the people creating this magical, mystical theater experience in Little Five Points.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bad Bunny is once again making international headlines this week with the culmination of his historic San Juan residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, which wraps up on September 14. This residency, titled "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí," has drawn an estimated 600,000 fans from the United States, Latin America, and Europe. The event has generated an extraordinary $200 million boost for Puerto Rico's local economy, according to coverage from Digital Music News, making it one of the most successful and influential concert series the island has ever seen. Bad Bunny used every night of this 30-show run not only as a musical experience but as a celebration of Puerto Rican culture—encouraging fans to explore local food, music, and even salsa dancing while they were in town.While most global superstars would embark on a massive multi-country tour, Bad Bunny instead invited the world to come to him. This strategy both deepened his ties with the island and sent a strong message about the cultural power and resilience of Puerto Rico. Forbes called this residency a blueprint for how a celebrity's brand can drive real economic and cultural transformation.There's a lot of buzz, and not a little controversy, around why Bad Bunny has left the United States off the touring schedule for his upcoming "Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour," set to begin November 21 in the Dominican Republic. In a candid interview with i-D magazine, Bad Bunny explained that the decision is rooted in deep concern over ICE—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—showing up outside his concerts. He didn't want to put any Latino fans at risk, especially those who might fear deportation or harassment at major U.S. venues. According to The Fader and Los Angeles Times, he's openly criticized ICE actions in both mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico, posting videos and speaking out on social media about the impact of these raids on the community. He stressed that U.S. fans are absolutely not forgotten: anyone is welcome to attend shows in Puerto Rico or abroad, reaffirming his commitment to connecting with his American audience, just in a safer context for everyone.Bad Bunny is also dominating the music headlines for his upcoming studio album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," which is scheduled for release January 5, 2025. According to Variety and AOL, the album is expected to include 17 tracks, among them "El Clúb" and "Pitorro De Coco," songs that have already dropped and which explore themes of nostalgia and the complexities of moving on from love. Critics and streaming platforms have already marked it as one of the most anticipated releases of the new year, promising a fresh blend of EDM, plena, and signature Bad Bunny introspection. This highly awaited project follows a period of high-profile singles and viral performances, keeping fans eager for his next musical chapter.Adding to his record-breaking year, Bad Bunny shattered another milestone by securing 27 nominations at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, the largest tally ever for any artist in a single year. Latin Times notes that these nominations span top categories, including Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Top Latin Album for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," and multiple Hot Latin Song entries. He's widely expected to be the star of the October 23 ceremony, further cementing his dominance across Latin and global music scenes.Across social media, fans are celebrating the impact of his residency and discussing plans to travel internationally for the new tour, given the absence of U.S. dates. Venues in Europe, Latin America, Japan, Australia, and the Caribbean are preparing for huge turnout as Bad Bunny's global influence continues to expand.Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to join us again next week for more on the world's biggest artists and their latest moves.

President Trump is escalating the war on drugs, announcing last week a successful U.S. military strike in the Caribbean, taking out a drug trafficking boat near the coast of Venezuela. The following day, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told FOX & Friends that 11 people on the boat whom he called “terrorists” were eliminated. Often, law enforcement traces how these drug trafficking boats bring dangerous drugs onto America's streets. The Drug Enforcement Administration is on the front lines battling exactly that. Special Agent Frank Tarentino is part of the DEA New York Division and joins the Rundown to explain the latest challenges in the war on drugs. As Democrats wade through dismal poll numbers, different party members are staking out their positions and messaging to Americans about President Trump's latest initiatives on crime, the border, and the economy. Former DNC Press Secretary Jose Aristuimuno says when it comes to the way the President is tackling the issue of crime and public safety, it may be worth Democrats trying to collaborate rather than fight with President Trump. Chief of Staff to the White House Press Office under President Biden and Principal at Podium Strategies Yemisi Egbewole joins the podcast to break down the latest internal divisions and what the future holds for the Democratic Party.

Walt loved New Orleans and from day one he sought to incorporate the essence of the French Quarter into Disneyland Park. While New Orleans Square wasn't opened until 1966, there has always been since day one a New Orleans Street. It stretched from the Golden Horseshoe down along the Rivers of America. It was a contrast to the Nature's Wonderland with its mine train, pack mules and stage coaches. It was one of the key dining points in the park, and Walt loved this stretch, where he often enjoyed a weekend morning breakfast watching the ships along the Rivers of America prep and ready for the day's activities. But he wanted more and in time he built New Orleans Square, and with it came two of perhaps Disney's greatest attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion, benchmarking each end of the square. They sandwiched an unusual twist of streets with shops and restaurants, with his beloved train passing through. And all of it was tied together by the legendary Mark Twain Steamboat. It is quintessentially one of the most unique spaces in any Disney park. And with it come some wonderful inspirational lessons in business and life. So in celebration of Disneyland's 70th anniversary, we explore all of this and more in today's podcast which celebrates the charm of both New Orleans Street and Square. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

The number of jobs created in the United States has been revised down. Not as many people got jobs as expected during the last months of Joe Biden's presidency or the opening period of Donald Trump's return to the White House. It suggests the world's largest economy is weaker than expected, but could it also mean Donald Trump will get his way and the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates? We're joined by the CBC's Takara Small in Toronto, Canada, and Stratagraph's Travis Paterson in Jakarta, Indonesia, to discuss how businesses have been impacted by the increasing use of tariffs by both the US and other governments. Roger Hearing finds out about the impact on the Korean community in the US state of Georgia after the detained Hyundai workers are set to be flown home. Elsewhere, there's a new French prime minister, the fifth in two years, to try to pass a budget. It was promised to be awe-dropping - but what has Apple unveiled at its latest event? And how a high murder rate is threatening tourism on a Caribbean island paradise. Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.

The “Autopen Pardon Scandal” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced that the committee is wrapping up its investigation into President Joe Biden’s alleged use of the autopen to issue thousands of pardons. Records suggest Biden’s aides, including Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, authorized pardons using the autopen without Biden’s direct involvement. Critics, including Donald Trump and constitutional attorney Mark Smith (on Fox News), argue this raises questions about presidential authority, legitimacy of pardons, and executive power under Article II. Defenders claim the use of autopen is legal and Republicans are politicizing the issue. US Military Build-up in Puerto Rico Amid Venezuela Tensions Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Kane made an unannounced visit to Puerto Rico. The visit coincided with rising US-Venezuela tensions following a US military strike on a Venezuelan cartel vessel. The Pentagon is considering Puerto Rico as a hub for counter-narcotics operations, deploying F-35 jets, Marines, and multiple warships to the Caribbean. Officials emphasize the move is not for regime change but to combat narco-terrorism and drug trafficking networks. Puerto Rico’s strategic location is highlighted as key for intercepting drug routes.

Christians were being discriminated against by government policies, according to a new report from the Trump administration, which investigated policies and how they impacted people of faith.Meanwhile, Americans are being told to expect more immigration operations at businesses that have been hiring illegal immigrants. This follows a recent operation that found 300 illegal immigrants working at a Hyundai factory in Georgia.And on another topic, President Donald Trump has given the military broad powers to respond if Venezuela strikes a U.S. ship. This comes amid a large U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean to tackle cartels and the drug trade. The Venezuelan leader alleged last week that the United States is seeking “regime change through military threat.”We'll discuss these topics and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Last week, the United States carried out an unprecedented strike against a vessel suspected of narcotics trafficking in the Caribbean, destroying the vessel and reportedly killing 11 people on board. This action raises highly concerning questions about the process followed within the U.S. government: how and by whom was the strike authorized?  Why was it carried out by U.S. armed forces? And what kind of accountability or pushback might we see from Congress, in courts, or within the government itself?Rebecca Ingber and Brian Finucane join Tess Bridgeman to unpack the attack, the limited justifications the administration has put forward to date, and what to expect from here. Show Notes: Legal Issues Raised by Lethal U.S. Military Attack in the Caribbean by Brian FinucaneLabels, Not Law, to Justify Lethal Force: Venezuela Boat Strike by Mark Nevitt

Today's Headlines: The weekend brought another Trump classic: a meme threatening to send the military into Chicago, complete with an Apocalypse Now reference and the caption “Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of War.” Thousands protested in both Chicago and DC, while the new “Department of War” is now rebranding everything from uniforms to its website to fit the new name—on the taxpayer dime. In other news, RFK Jr., still smoldering from his Senate tantrum, is reportedly preparing a report linking autism to Tylenol use during pregnancy, a claim debunked by every credible medical body. His own family called for him to resign, former Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Trump should fire him, and even Trump broke with him to say vaccines “just work.” Meanwhile, VP JD Vance sparked a GOP mini-drama after bragging about a deadly US strike in the Caribbean; when a journalist called it a war crime, his response prompted Rand Paul to comment “despicable.” The DOJ opened a criminal probe into Fed governor Lisa Cook, who's already suing the administration over Trump's attempt to oust her—setting up a major fight over Fed independence. At the same time, a dozen federal judges voiced frustration with the Supreme Court for overturning lower court rulings with little explanation.  On the economy, August jobs numbers were rough, with just 22,000 added and unemployment climbing to 4.3%. And finally, Paramount is in talks to acquire Bari Weiss's Free Press for up to $200M, possibly putting her in charge of CBS News. She just hosted Justice Amy Coney Barrett at Lincoln Center, where ACB insisted the Constitution is “alive and well” and that the US is not in a constitutional crisis… though if you have to say it, maybe that's its own answer.

Criticism of JB Pritzker (Governor of Illinois):The speakers argue that Pritzker downplays violent crime in Chicago despite high murder rates. They compare his leadership to officials in Mexico who claim progress while cartels commit violence unchecked. Broader critique of Democrats:Democrats are portrayed as favoring criminals over victims, ignoring rising crime, and pushing policies that weaken law enforcement. The conversation frames them as ideologically extreme and out of touch with public safety concerns. Midterm election outlook (2025):The senator and host discuss Republican opportunities in upcoming elections. They note Democratic fundraising strength but also claim voters are increasingly frustrated with crime and safety issues, which could benefit Republicans. The “Clean DC Act”:The senator introduces legislation to roll back a 2022 D.C. law that reduced penalties for violent crimes. The bill is framed as a test of whether lawmakers side with “criminals or citizens.” Rumors about President Trump’s health:A viral social media claim suggested Trump was dead or incapacitated because he wasn’t seen for a few days. The speakers mock Democrats and the media for allegedly celebrating or hoping it was true. Trump himself is quoted dismissing it as “fake news.” Drug cartels in the U.S.:The conversation highlights a DEA operation in New England that arrested 171 members of the Sinaloa cartel. They emphasize the cartel’s national reach, its trafficking of fentanyl, and the dangers counterfeit pills pose to young people. The epidemic of fentanyl deaths is portrayed as a direct result of “Democratic open border policies.” Military and foreign policy against cartels:The senator describes U.S. military operations in the Caribbean and Central America targeting drug traffickers, including deploying stealth jets and naval ships. He recounts visiting prisons in El Salvador housing violent gang members to illustrate cartel influence in U.S. communities. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Debate on the Source of Rights The episode opens with criticism of Democratic Senator Tim Kaine, who argued in a Senate hearing that constitutional rights come from the government rather than from God. Cruz frames this as a radical departure from America’s founding principles, citing the Declaration of Independence and Thomas Jefferson’s writings. The discussion emphasizes that if rights come from government, they can be taken away, whereas God-given rights are “unalienable.” Religion and the Democratic Party Cruz and Ferguson argue that the Democratic Party is increasingly hostile toward people of faith (Christian, Jewish, Catholic). They highlight responses from religious leaders, including Bishop Robert Barron, who strongly opposed Kaine’s remarks and defended the idea that rights come from God. Border Security and the Cartels The podcast shifts to the issue of border security and drug cartels, especially the Sinaloa cartel. They cite a DEA operation in New England that arrested 171 cartel members in one week, seizing fentanyl and counterfeit pills. Cruz and Ferguson warn about the danger of fentanyl-laced pills, especially for young people, describing it as a national epidemic and the leading cause of death among Americans aged 18–45. U.S. Government Action Against Cartels They discuss U.S. military and DEA efforts to combat cartels, including operations in Mexico, Venezuela, and the Caribbean. Cruz praises the government’s recent designation of cartels as terrorist organizations and the deployment of military assets to fight drug trafficking. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
