by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear In 2019, U.S. Navy pilot Lt. Ryan Graves began speaking publicly about regular encounters by flight teams starting in 2013 with UFOs. On July 26, 2023, he testified before congress and said that on one occasion, two jets were forced to make evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision with an object he described as a clear sphere with a black cube inside. By the time of the hearing, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office headed by Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick had looked into these types of reports, and in May of 2023, Kirkpatrick informed NASA's UFO advisory council that AARO had about 800 instances of “metallic orb” UFOs. This is according to a January 24, 2024, Science Times article by Caleb White headlined “Cube in a Sphere UAP Could Be ‘Aliens' or ‘Next Generation' Spherical Drones, Pentagon Former UFO Chief Says.” Read more →*Note: audioblogs are now a cloned AI version of Martin's voice.

I'm back!

After the Irish fought for and won their independence from the British in 1921, they had a problem. Centuries of exploitation had left the island one of the least forested nations in Europe, with less than 2% tree cover.  So, they started planting a non-native American tree: fast-growing Sitka spruce capable of rebuilding their timber resources in record time. And it worked. Today, about 17% of the island is forested. But in the rural areas where iconic rolling hills have been replaced by rows and rows of conifers, farmers are not happy.  Outside/In host Nate Hegyi takes us to County Leitrim, an area of Ireland hit hard by the Troubles and the Great Famine, to meet the townspeople who are fighting what they say is a new wave of colonialism: Sitka spruce plantations.

LINKS Donal Magner wrote a book covering the history of Ireland's forests and timber industry.  Sitka spruce plantations are controversial in other parts of Ireland as well, including Cork.  There are also efforts to rewild parts of Ireland with entirely native trees and to protect and restore carbon-sequestering bogs.  It can be really tough to figure out exactly what was growing in Ireland thousands of years ago – but these scientists used ancient pollen counts to figure it out. Researchers at University College Dublin produced a detailed socio-economic impact report on Sitka spruce plantations and County Leitrim in 2019. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we are sitting down discussing a novel off of Sam's TBR called Conform! This novel made one of us feel nostalgic for the best reasons. Although one of us was completely lost with what was happening. Almost as lost as Sam was when she broke a door at work! We do want to mention that this podcast episode was pre-recorded, but we do want to mention that this podcast believes that everyone deserves safety, dignity, and the right to exist without fear. What Ice and the current adminstration is doing is disgusting. Our hearts go out to those in Minnesota and those who have been affected by what is happening. We stand with you.   About The Novel: In the far future, one young woman finds herself torn between two loves—and two sides of a rebellion boiling under the surface—in the first novel of a sweeping dystopian romance trilogy. Centuries after a catastrophic world war nearly decimated the human population, a city arose from the ashes, ruled by an elusive and technologically advanced group called the Illum. At twenty-seven, Emeline lives in limbo, wasting away her days in a job sorting ancient human art for destruction and waiting to be selected as a Mate for a procreation contract. Where others look forward to being chosen, Emeline has never felt like she fit into a society where a person's worth is determined by constantly monitored genes, health, and the ability to procreate. She's struggled to keep her discomfort secret, but when she is finally chosen, her Mate is revealed to be a member of the Illum named Collin, a man who seems to be harboring secrets of his own. It is the first time an Illum has taken a Mate in decades, leaving Emeline—and others—baffled as to why she was chosen. Soon, she is swept into the dangerous game of Courting, filled with ballgowns, lavish dinners, and watchful eyes, where one wrong move can mean elimination. While parts of this elite lifestyle are unexpectedly appealing, the more embroiled she becomes, the more she sees its dark underbelly—and a rebellion rising in secret. Collin is confusing, both cold and protective, and worse, she finds herself drawn to the very last person she should be falling for: Hal, one of the resistance leaders. As she draws closer to both Collin and Hal, the Illum exercise their power in increasingly brutal ways, forcing Emeline to question everything—most of all whether she'll have to give up her heart and even her life to stop them.   Wanna Check Us Out?

In this Thinking Talmudist episode on Gittin 57b, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe concludes the tragic narratives surrounding the destruction of Betar and the broader Roman massacres, drawing powerful lessons on reckless reaction, lashon hara, and ultimate divine justice.The Gemara recounts how Betar's custom of planting cedar trees for boys and pine for girls (later used for wedding canopies) led to disaster: Roman attendants cut a local cedar to fix Caesar's daughter's carriage, prompting Jewish outrage and attack. This escalated into full Roman slaughter (80,000 division leaders entered, millions killed, blood flowing to the sea and fertilizing vineyards for seven years without other fertilizer). The rabbi explains the overreaction stemmed from superstitious attachment to the tree as a child's future symbol—yet halacha warns against excessive worry (e.g., not lighting yahrzeit candles yourself to avoid superstition if one extinguishes).The rabbi connects this to lashon hara (slander) about Eretz Yisrael by the spies, which doomed a generation, and urges intentional Jewish living over burial myths (e.g., tattoos or lashon hara don't bar Jewish burial—focus on living Jewish now with daily teshuva). He details horrific Babylonian carnage (Nuvuzaradan's 2.11 million in a valley, 940,000 in Jerusalem), Zechariah's boiling blood refusing to rest until appeased (even by mass slaughter), and Nuvuzaradan's repentance and conversion. Descendants of Haman, Sisera, and Sanheriv became Torah teachers—showing redemption is possible.The episode closes with reflections on Holocaust horrors (44,000 camps, personal family stories), modern Israeli miracles, and the need to live vibrantly Jewish—investing in mitzvot, family purity (niddah separation creates 12 annual honeymoons), and trust in Hashem over fleeting things._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 16, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 30, 2026_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-talmudist-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1648951154Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cZ7q9bGYSBYSPQfJvwgzmShare your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content._____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

King Solomon, of the royal House of David, is considered the richest human being the world has ever known. For centuries, the legend of his gold mines, said to be the source of much of his immense wealth, has captured the imagination of people from all nations and stations in life. According to the Bible, Solomon, the wise son of King David, ruled from Jerusalem from 970 to 930 BC, presiding over Israel's Golden Age and becoming renowned not only for his extraordinary wisdom but also for his unmatched riches. Centuries later, in February 1851, Edward Hargraves ignited the Australia gold rush when he discovered gold in what is now known as Ophir, New South Wales. Thousands of eager prospectors from across the colonies and around the world flocked to the region, and within a decade, Australia was producing nearly a third of the world's gold. The gold rush profoundly reshaped Australian society, transformed the nation's economy, and ensured that, like Solomon's legendary wealth, gold would leave a lasting mark on history. 

Scott Taylor is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to look back at England's 53-run win in the 3rd ODI in Colombo to seal a memorable 2-1 series win. They discuss just how big an achievement this is, react to match-winning centuries from both Harry Brook and Joe Root and discuss what this could do for this white-ball side moving forwards.

A @Christadelphians Video: Inspiring and thought-provoking, this outstanding expositional presentation explores the remarkable prophecy that Jerusalem would be 'trodden down of the Gentiles' and then raised from obscurity to become the centre of the world's attention. We trace this wonderful Biblical theme from its foretelling by Christ, through the city's long desolation, to its stunning modern-day resurgence—a powerful testament to the accuracy of God's Word.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: Babylon, Tyre & Spiritual Concepts00:57 - Archaeology & Evidence: Challenging the Skeptics04:13 - Jerusalem's Foretold Destruction & Treading Down09:52 - The Prophecy Fulfilled: Jerusalem Plowed as a Field16:35 - Centuries of Obscurity: A Desolate Backwater21:47 - The Modern Turning Point: Jerusalem Reclaimed30:32 - Zechariah's Prophecy: A Burdensome Stone & a Fountain Cleansed43:27 - The Burdensome Stone Today: Centre of World Conflict56:45 - The Nations Gather: Prophecy Unfolding Before Our Eyes1:04:57 - Internal Divisions & The Future of Judah1:08:52 - Conclusion: The Creator's Purpose & Our Hope**Key Bible Verses:**

Leila Philip discusses 19th-century anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan, who documented beaver dams in the Lake Superior Basin, where Philip recently observed centuries-old dams still continually cleansing water. Philip also details her immersion into the world of modern fur trappers, finding unexpected ecological knowledge and a deep connection to nature within that culture.

She grew up Catholic in Venezuela, never knowing Jews still existed, yet her family quietly lit candles, covered mirrors, and placed stones on graves. Centuries-old Jewish practices survived in her home without explanation, passed down in secret since the Spanish Inquisition.   In this episode, Reyna Simnegar shares her extraordinary journey from Venezuela to Judaism: uncovering crypto-Jewish roots dating back over 500 years, discovering her family's hidden mesorah, living through political collapse under Chávez, and ultimately converting Orthodox and building a Jewish life and family. From Schindler's List to UCLA, from Taco Bell to Jerusalem, this is a powerful story of identity, faith, exile, and return.   A rare, deeply personal conversation about Anusim, survival, and what it means to come home, even when it takes generations.

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Jerm and Roman Bystrianyk chat about the long-standing debates around vaccines, especially the smallpox vaccine, questioning the dominant narrative that credits vaccines alone for eradicating disease.They suggest that improved living conditions, sanitation, and nutrition during the 19th-century health revolution played a far bigger role in reducing illness than vaccines did. In fact, there's no evidence that vaccines had any positive net benefit.Roman's book, Dissolving Illusions, has been influential in shifting how people see vaccination, highlighting historical data that challenges the idea of vaccines as the primary saviour of public health . The conversation touches on how public perception can take on a cult-like fervour, often ignoring complex factors in favour of simplistic stories.They stress that how data is presented shapes beliefs, and that lifestyle choices are crucial to preventing disease.Ultimately, they argue for greater awareness and education to help people look beyond mainstream claims and think critically about health.✉️ Subscribe to my excellent newsletter

To study the built environment of the Americas is to wrestle with an inherent contradiction. While the disciplines of architecture, urban design, landscape, and planning share the fundamental belief that space and place matter, the overwhelming majority of canonical knowledge and the vernacular used to describe these disciplines comes from another, very different, continent.With Spatial Theories for the Americas: Counterweights to Five Centuries of Eurocentrism (U Pittsburgh Press, 2024), Fernando Luiz Lara discusses several theories of space—drawing on cartography, geography, anthropology, and mostly architecture—and proposes counterweights to five centuries of Eurocentrism. The first part of Spatial Theories for the Americas offers a critique of Eurocentrism in the discipline of architecture, problematizing its theoretical foundation in relation to the inseparability of modernization and colonization. The second part makes explicit the insufficiencies of a hegemonic Western tradition at the core of spatial theories by discussing a long list of authors who have thought about the Americas.To overcome centuries of Eurocentrism, Lara concludes, will require a tremendous effort, but, nonetheless, we have the responsibility of looking at the built environment of the Americas through our own lenses.

Real beauty is timeless, and so should be the architectural masterpieces of humanity, right? Well, some of them do have a chance to survive for centuries from now. When you stroll into the Pantheon in Rome, it puts on a show just like it did almost two thousand years ago. Then we've got the impressive Hoover Dam in the USA, designed to harness hydroelectricity and prevent water from going where it shouldn't. While it's not a single building, the Great Wall of China is an ancient marvel that has survived for centuries. And, luckily, it's just the beginning of the list. Learn more about your ad choices.

As far as we are concerned, a book entitled "Crusader Criminals: The Knights Who Went Rogue in the Holy Land," is, obviously, a book to read. To our joy, that book is informed, and readable, and full of Things We Did Not Know. And to our further joy, the author, Steve Tibble, who came to talk to us for this episode, is engaging, deeply informed, and kind hearted, and, of course, full of Things We Did Not Know. In our conversation, we discuss, among other things, the mafia that the Frankish prisoners of war ran in Cairo; the Viking crusade, which involved killing lions in North Africa; the state of the Pilgrim Road that civilian Europeans were using to reach the Holy Land, which had so many slaughtered pilgrims lying on the side of the road that it lead to the Templars getting involved; and the European method of getting rid of outlaws, which was to make them into crusaders. There is yet another saintly pirate, as well, I think our third so far.  In our talk and in this book, Steve focuses on the violence that was the foundation of the Crusades -- on all sides -- but also gives his overarching view of the way the Crusades were a result not just of clashing religions, but of climate change and the conflicts between nomadic and sedentary societies.  Oh, and by the way, we all agree that it's really a shame that Cormac McCarthy didn't become an historian of the Crusades.  And that there are a lot of potential historical novels and movies wandering around in this book.  (Link to Steve's website, and information on his books, are in the Show Notes.)

Yas and Matt on day two of the fifth and final 2025/26 Ashes Test at the SCG.

Travis Head set the tone early, igniting the match with another decisive hundred that lifted the tempo and left England exposed. Once Head departed, Steve Smith took over, delivering a century built on discipline, patience, and total control. It was vintage Smith, marked by patience, clarity, and an absolute refusal to take the bait, as Australia seized command of day three.Corbin and Ed then turned to the man of the series debate, weighing Mitchell Starc's wickets against Head's match-shaping hundreds, before deciding the conversation could wait.Australia's depth again became a key talking point. Cameron Green's frustration after another start without a defining score was contrasted with Beau Webster's calm, accomplished contribution, while Usman Khawaja's dismissal was not the farewell many fans had hoped for in his final Test.The discussion closed with a blunt assessment of England's unravelling, with missed chances, mounting pressure, and fading confidence defining a day that increasingly felt one-sided.ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big issues that are dominating the cricket agenda.

Pressure can be as recent as your last thought, but pressure is nothing new. Centuries ago, James (the half-brother of Jesus) gave encouragement and guidance to Christians who faced intense challenges. Dispersed by persecution and hardship, James' words invite them – and us – to let life's pressure points guide them toward a deeper journey with Jesus. Learn how faith in Christ can transform life's most difficult choices into opportunities for wisdom and joy.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the January 3rd, 2026 episode of the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter invites us to journey together through the Scriptures, beginning with the story of Noah and the great flood from Genesis, and continuing into the New Testament with the ministry of John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus in Luke. As Hunter reads, he draws powerful connections between the ancient narrative of the dove, sent out by Noah in search of life, and the dove that appears at the baptism of Jesus, symbolizing the presence of the Holy Spirit and the arrival of true life in Christ. You'll also join Hunter for a time of reflective prayer, seeking God's guidance and presence as we walk through a new day. Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the podcast, this episode is all about creating space to encounter the life and love of God together, being encouraged through Scripture, and reminded that you are deeply loved. Settle in as we explore Genesis, Luke, and the hope found in God's Word—let's begin this day's journey side by side! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the proof of life we've all been waiting for. After the flood, Noah released a dove three times in search of life and hope beyond the judgement brought upon the earth. The first time, the dove found nothing but water and returned, a sign that death still prevailed. Seven days later, Noah tried again, and this time the dove returned with a fresh olive branch—a miraculous sign, a picture of God's recreation, his making all things new in seven days. Life was returning. Yet it was on the third release that the dove did not come back; it had found life and no longer needed to return to the safety of the boat. Centuries later, this same symbol—the dove—appears again, descending upon Jesus in the waters of the Jordan River. But this time, no proof is needed: the one who is life itself has come. Jesus stands in the place of fulfillment, greater than Abraham, greater than Moses, greater than all the names and legacies listed throughout Scripture. The Father declares him to be his Son; John announces that he will take away the sin of the world. Jesus is the true and lasting proof of life for all of us. This is a message the dying world longs to hear—a message we ourselves are invited to believe and participate in. The prayer for today is to participate more deeply in this life, to declare his message faithfully to a world longing for hope, longing for the waters of life. For my own soul, for my family, and for you: may we know and drink deeply from the proof of life given in Jesus, our Savior. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

HOMER'S NARRATIVE CHOICES AND ORAL TRADITION Colleague Professor Emily Wilson. Wilsondiscusses the "Homeric Question," noting that oral stories existed for centuries before the alphabet arrived in the 8th century BCE. She highlights the Iliad's sophisticated narrative structure, which omits famous events like the Apple of Discord and the Trojan Horse to focus intensely on a specific period of the war. The conversation compares the Iliad'sfocus on Greek infighting with Virgil's Aeneid, noting the distinct goals of each epic tradition. NUMBER 2 500 AD ALEXANDRIA

During our church outreach in a nursing home, an elderly resident told me of how his daughter had driven him there years before and simply left him on the sidewalk. In his wheelchair, Ed couldn’t get up to run after her. She’d returned to the car without looking back and driven away. “We’re going to a nice hotel,” she’d said earlier. That day was the last time he saw her. This clear case of abuse, vastly different from the many loving family experiences of eldercare, traumatized Ed. He still has nightmares about that day. Centuries ago, a young man also suffered trauma (Genesis 37:12-36). Joseph’s brothers threw him into a cistern and sold him to traders going to Egypt. But “the Lord was with Joseph” (39:2). In an unfamiliar land, as he courageously did what was right in God’s eyes, both in his master’s house (vv. 7-10) and in prison, Joseph realized that God “showed him his faithful love” (v. 21 nlt). Despite the trauma of his past, Joseph was able to succeed in whatever he did because God helped him (v. 23). Eventually, he became second-in-command to Pharaoh and raised a family of his own (41:41-52). Later, he even reconciled with his brothers (45:12-15). People may hurt us, but God never will. Although He may help us heal in ways different from what He did for Joseph, He promises us His same faithful love. Let’s follow His leading as we trust Him to heal our hearts.

America almost always shows restraint when it comes to world conflicts. President Trump has proven that he would rather negotiate peace, than go to war. However, sometimes you have to remind some people that you are the shot-caller. And that's just what President Trump did to the ISIS terrorists who have been killing Christians in Nigeria.As the NY Times reported,https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/us/politics/trump-isis-nigeria-strike.htmlThe United States launched a number of strikes against the Islamic State in northwestern Nigeria, President Trump announced on Thursday, the latest American military campaign against a nonstate adversary — in this case, Islamic jihadis who the president asserts have been slaughtering Christians.Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that “the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 9:6 Centuries before the birth of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah pointed forward to the coming Messiah and gave Him a name filled with hope: the Prince of Peace. In today's episode, we pause on that final promise from Isaiah 9:6 and reflect on what it means for us during the Christmas season.   While Christmas is meant to be joyful, it can also be filled with stress, anxiety, travel plans, family dynamics, and last-minute worries. In the middle of all the noise and pressure, God offers us something the world cannot: true and lasting peace. Jesus doesn't just bring peace; He is our peace.   This episode invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rest in the presence of Christ. Through Scripture, reflection, and simple confessions of faith, you'll be reminded that when you have Jesus, you have peace beyond measure. Today, worship the Prince of Peace and let His perfect peace guard your heart.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251222dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 Look to the Sign We live in a world that constantly demands signs. Politicians promise change, and we look for signs that things will improve. Doctors give us a diagnosis, and we want signs that treatments will work. Even in our spiritual lives, we sometimes find ourselves asking God for signs as proof that he is with us, proof that he hears us and will help us. King Ahaz, the king of Judah, was in a difficult spot when Isaiah spoke the words of our Bible reading for today. Powerful armies threatened him. God offered him a sign of his faithfulness, but Ahaz doubted God. God’s promise did not depend on Ahaz’s faith. The Lord himself gave the sign: a virgin would conceive and give birth to a son, and his name would be Immanuel, “God with us.” Centuries later, Matthew's gospel revealed how wonderfully God kept that promise. The virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus, and in him God truly was with us, not just in spirit, not only in power, but in the flesh. He came to stand in our place, to live the perfect life we could not, and to die the death our sins deserved. The ultimate sign of God’s faithfulness is the cross and the empty tomb. What does this mean for us? It means we never need to doubt whether God is with us. Whatever troubles surround us—health concerns, family struggles, financial stress, or guilt from our sins—God has already given us the sign. In Jesus, he is with us. And if he is with us, then who can be against us? So, when doubts creep in, return to the sign God has given. Look to the manger, the cross, and the empty tomb. There you see Immanuel, God with us, God with you. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for coming to be my Immanuel. When I am afraid or tempted to doubt, turn my eyes back to you and the sign of your love. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Centuries ago, the arms of Jesus Christ were stretched out upon a wooden cross as wicked men put him to death by crucifixion. Today the arms of our risen Lord stretch forth to offer grace and forgiveness to a race of wicked rebellious sinners.

Centuries ago, monks who took a vow of silence still had to communicate about routine matters, from gardening to equipment repair. So they developed their own sign language, with hundreds of gestures for various words and ideas. Plus, how do speakers of different languages identify similar colors such as red, yellow, and blue in various languages? It's complicated! And: you don't really need those little rivets on your blue jeans, do you? Those flat metal disks are leftovers from an earlier time, when jeans were worn by mine workers and cowboys. There's a word for decorative elements that no longer serve a practical purpose: skeuomorphs. All that, along with butter of antimony, vein vs. vain, sugar of lead, euchred figs, two bits, mess and gaum, an apt nickname for a garbage disposal, and a quiz about family secrets!

It was a record-setting sale that turned the wine world upside down — and raised a bigger question: had history truly been uncorked, or had wealthy collectors just bought into a very expensive story?
