La armada invencible nunca fue llamada así por España. Para España simplemente era la “Grande y Felicísima Armada”. Esta armada fue enviada, tras un largo periodo de guerra fría entre Inglaterra y España, para apresar a la reina Isabel I y entronizar a María Estuardo a fin de reponer el catolicismo en aquellas tierras. El Imperio en el que nunca se ponía el Sol, sufrió una derrota debida a varios factores y no solo a los elementos, como así se quejó posteriormente Felipe II. La “Armada Invencible”, conocida en España como la “Grande y Felicísima Armada”, fue una flota naval organizada por el rey Felipe II de España en 1588. Este despliegue marítimo tenía como objetivo principal la invasión de Inglaterra para restablecer el catolicismo y derrocar a la reina Isabel I. La campaña se convirtió en uno de los episodios más célebres de la historia marítima, tanto por su ambición como por su catastrófico desenlace. Contexto Histórico En el siglo XVI, España se había convertido en la potencia hegemónica de Europa, sustentada por las riquezas provenientes de sus colonias en América y una formidable flota naval. El reinado de Felipe II (1556-1598) fue testigo de numerosos conflictos, incluyendo la resistencia protestante en los Países Bajos y la rivalidad con Inglaterra. La reina Isabel I de Inglaterra, defensora del protestantismo, apoyaba a los corsarios ingleses que atacaban a los barcos españoles y brindaba apoyo a los rebeldes protestantes en los Países Bajos, territorios bajo dominio español. Las tensiones se intensificaron tras la ejecución de María Estuardo en 1587, quien era considerada por muchos católicos la legítima reina de Inglaterra y una aliada potencial para Felipe II. Esta ejecución proporcionó al monarca español el pretexto final para lanzar una campaña militar directa contra Inglaterra. Preparativos de la Armada La Armada Invencible se compuso de alrededor de 130 barcos y transportaba unos 30,000 hombres, incluidos soldados, marineros y personal auxiliar. La estrategia era doble: la flota debía navegar desde Lisboa hasta el Canal de la Mancha, donde se uniría con las fuerzas del duque de Parma en los Países Bajos. Juntas, estas fuerzas debían cruzar a Inglaterra, desembarcar y llevar a cabo la invasión. Composición de la Armada 1. Galeones: Los galeones eran los principales buques de guerra, fuertemente armados y diseñados para combates navales. 2. Galeras: Barcos impulsados por remos, utilizados principalmente para maniobras rápidas en el combate cercano. 3. Transporte de tropas: Buques que llevaban a bordo soldados, caballos y equipo necesario para la invasión terrestre. Liderazgo El mando de la flota fue asignado al duque de Medina Sidonia, Alfonso Pérez de Guzmán. A pesar de su estatus noble y experiencia en asuntos administrativos, Medina Sidonia carecía de experiencia naval, una elección que reflejaba la política y la jerarquía cortesana de la época más que la competencia militar. El Viaje de la Armada La Armada partió de Lisboa en mayo de 1588, pero enfrentó dificultades desde el inicio debido a tormentas y problemas logísticos. En julio, la flota llegó al Canal de la Mancha, donde fue recibida por la marina inglesa, comandada por Sir Francis Drake y Charles Howard, el conde de Nottingham. Los ingleses, con barcos más pequeños y maniobrables, emplearon tácticas de guerrilla naval, atacando la formación española con “brulotes” (barcos incendiarios) y cañonazos desde una distancia segura. Estos ataques causaron confusión y dispersión en la flota española. La Batalla de Gravelinas El 8 de agosto de 1588, la Armada enfrentó a los ingleses en la Batalla de Gravelinas, cerca de la costa de Flandes. El combate resultó desastroso para los españoles, que no pudieron romper la línea inglesa ni reunirse con las tropas del duque de Parma. Los ataques continuos, combinados con problemas de abastecimiento y la falta de coordinación, obligaron a la Armada a retirarse. Retiro y Desastre Incapaz de regresar por el Canal de la Mancha, Medina Sidonia optó por rodear las Islas Británicas, navegando hacia el norte y luego hacia el oeste, a través de las turbulentas aguas del Atlántico Norte. Durante este regreso, la flota sufrió severas pérdidas debido a las tormentas y la falta de mapas precisos para las costas de Escocia e Irlanda. Muchos barcos naufragaron o se desviaron de su curso, y de los 130 barcos originales, solo alrededor de la mitad lograron regresar a España. Consecuencias La derrota de la Armada Invencible tuvo repercusiones profundas: 1. Declive de la hegemonía española: Aunque España siguió siendo una potencia europea, su prestigio y su dominio marítimo comenzaron a declinar. 2. Aumento de la moral inglesa: La victoria fortaleció el prestigio de Isabel I y consolidó la identidad nacional inglesa. 3. Impacto económico: La pérdida de barcos y hombres, junto con el costo del equipamiento y mantenimiento de la Armada, tuvo un impacto significativo en las finanzas españolas. 4. Cambio en la guerra naval: La batalla destacó la efectividad de tácticas de guerrilla y la importancia de la maniobrabilidad en el combate naval, influenciando las futuras estrategias marítimas. Perspectiva Historiográfica La imagen de la “Armada Invencible” como un fracaso total ha sido matizada por la historiografía moderna. Aunque la campaña no logró su objetivo de invasión, la resistencia mostrada por los barcos y tripulaciones bajo condiciones adversas también es reconocida. La empresa demostró las limitaciones logísticas y estratégicas de la guerra naval en la era premoderna y ofreció lecciones valiosas para futuros conflictos marítimos. Conclusión La Armada Invencible, a pesar de su nombre grandioso, se convirtió en un ejemplo clásico de los riesgos y desafíos de la guerra naval del siglo XVI. Su fracaso no solo reconfiguró el poder político y militar en Europa, sino que también dejó una marca indeleble en la memoria histórica, simbolizando la complejidad de las ambiciones imperiales y la imprevisibilidad de la guerra. En resumen, la “Armada Invencible” es recordada tanto por la magnitud de su empresa como por la magnitud de su fracaso, un testimonio perdurable de la lucha por el poder en la Europa renacentista.

How did England's upstart navy devastate the mighty Spanish Armada? Why did the loss upset the global world order for the next 350 years? And as the world's most powerful, richest man, how annoying must King Philip II have been for Queen Elizabeth I to not let him put a ring on it? Links To Further Yer Book-Learnin' Queen Elizabeth I (1533–1603) was Queen of England and Ireland for 45 years. She was cray-cray for Sir William Raleigh, but remained a virgin her whole life. Or so the Royal Marketers say. King Philip II (1527–1598), also known as Philip the Prudent, was a real resume padder: King of Spain; King of Portugal; King of Naples and Sicily; jure uxoris King of England and Ireland; Duke of Milan; and Lord of the Seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands. His dad still wasn't impressed. Charles Howard (1536–1624), was known as Lord Howard of Effingham. Was this because of his royal title, or a love for ham, or a reputation for over-acting? Sir Francis Drake (1540–1596) was an English explorer, privateer, and naval hero who circumnavigated the world from 1577 to 1580. But if you're signing up for the Drake Disciples fan club, he also joined in slaving voyages, soooo… Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano (1485–1547) was a Spanish conquistador who's synonymous with the saying “burn your ships.” Which might explain why there's no Cortes Caribbean Cruises. Ferdinand Magellan (1480–1521) was the Portuguese explorer who planned and led the first circumnavigation of the planet. Flat-Earthers are not fans. The Habsburg Monarchy ruled big chunks of Europe from 1282 to 1918. The family dynamic was super-juicy, and ripe fare for a telenovela. The Portuguese Empire (1415-1999) was made up of overseas colonies, factories, and territories. By the early 16th century the empire stretched across every continent that didn't have a South Pole. The Holy Roman Empire was officially the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. But for its almost 1,000 years, only geeks called it that. The Ottoman Empire, better known as the Turkish Empire, spanned much of Southeast Europe, West Asia, and North Africa from the 14th to early 20th centuries. It could have ruled more, but its leaders kept stopping to put their feet up. Martin Luther (1483–1546) was the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation as the author of the Ninety-Five Theses. Apparently nobody told him he only needed to write one to finish his undergrad. The encomienda was a Spanish labor system that rewarded conquerors with the labor of non-Christian peoples. The laborers were supposed to benefit from the conquerors' military protection, who made them an offer they couldn't refuse. The British Royal Navy fought the French-Spanish fleet in The Battle of Trafalgar on Oct. 21, 1805. Outnumbered and outgunned, Lord Nelson steered his ships into the enemy fleet's flank in a brilliant maneuver. This earned him a 20-0 ship-sinking rout, and later to H.I. history expert Matt Roberto's man crush. The Age of Exploration (15th to 17th Century), a.k.a The Age of Discovery, mostly overlapped with the Age of Sail. Can you historians just pick a name, already?

With his caked-on makeup and pathological lies, Charles “Smitty” Schmid cut a distinctive figure among Tucson's youth. The 22-year-old wanted to draw misfit teens to himself like moths to a flame, before holding a cultish sway over them. Schmid was a corrupting force. And by the summer of 1965, he had killed at least three young women, burying their bodies in the Arizona desert. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

There are some disagreements. Hear Seth rant and rave (some old), and awe as Matt even joins in (a rarity). We compare it to the movie, and even over comic runs. But is it Repeatable?

Welcome to February 1st, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate unbeatable spirit and the Lone Star State. The 2003 movie Seabiscuit, based on the novel by Laura Hillenbrand features the intersections of three men and a horse and epitomizes the spirit of “getting up when life knocks you down.” Based on the true story of Red Pollard, a bruised and broken jockey, Tom Smith a down on his luck Wild West showman and horse trainer and Charles Howard a pioneer car manufacturer stricken by the death of his son, this story delivers on inspiration. The men rally around a horse, who is their equal as a long shot because he was trained to lose but born to win. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie in a while it's an amazing pick me up! At a time when the Great Depression, Hitler and Mussolini made the headlines, this long shot team reminds us of American courage to bet against the odds. On National Get Up Day celebrate the things in your life that remind you to do the same. Austin, Texas, is home to the state capitol, beautiful parks, and a vibrant music scene. But if you want to see something a little out of the ordinary, take a trip over to the Congress Avenue Bridge. There, you'll find the largest urban colony of bats in the world—nearly 1.5 million of the nocturnal creatures. Each evening at sundown, the bats take to the sky in a swirling cloud that temporarily blocks out the night sky. Don't worry. They don't care about people and ignore spectators in favor of insects. It's a spectacular sight that would make the people of Gotham City jealous. On National Texas Day, we celebrate the Lone Star State, where everything is bigger. Even its oddities. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On Tuesday, February 16th, Charles Howard, University Chaplain and Vice President for Social Equity and Community at the University of Pennsylvania, spoke with Lawrence Ware, co-editor of "Ballad of an American," the first-ever graphic biography of Paul Robeson, about Robeson's relevance for today. Paul Robeson was the pre-eminent Black, left-wing figure of U.S. popular culture during the 1930s-40s. Concert singer, film actor, public personality, his "Ballad for Americans" was heard by millions of radio listeners. Idolized across large parts of Europe, his records heard widely in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, Robeson was struck down by McCarthyism. His legend and his lessons remain. The event was co-sponsored by the Afrosocialists and Socialists of Color Caucus (AFROSOC) of DSA, the DSA Fund, and the International Committee of DSA, along with the Religion and Socialism Working Group of DSA. You can order the book from Rutgers University Press and receive a 30% discount on it and all books sitewide by using the code DSA RUP at checkout.

Spidey sense. Gut feel. Whatever you call it, it’ll make or break the most important decisions in your life. The most successful executives I coach have it in spades. We're talking about intuition, and digging into what it is and how it actually works.Oprah has it.Steve Jobs had it.Mark Zuckerberg has it but recently didn’t listen to it and paid a huge price.Elon Musk made the same mistake.How—And Where—Intuition Actually WorksHere’s how to make your intuition stronger right now. My friends at NowSourcing have created a handy infographic, be sure to check it out here.First, let’s consider how—and where—humans think. As I outlined in a previous blog, human beings actually have three brains. Since both our hearts and our intestines have neural tissue, we have the heart-brain, the gut-brain and the brain that sits in our cranium (or, if you count the one that sits in our cranium as three—reptile, mammalian, and human neo-cortex—then we actually have five brains!).Where You Think:Reptilian Brain: InstinctAn innate inclination toward a particular behavior in response to a certain stimulusIt’s hardwired in the body from birth to keep us “not dead”Examples: we pull away from something hot, run from danger, etc.Mammalian Brain: Where much intuition, or “gut feeling”, occursA natural, thoughtless process which requires no analysis or deep thinkingUnconsciously developed over time from our experiences and beliefBiases operate here and are unconscious—which is why they can be problematicExamples: trusting someone that’s similar to you, feeling good around someone, etc.Prefrontal Cortex: Analytical thinkingIntentional, organized, conscious thoughtsUsed for planning, problem-solving, decision makingSome biases operate here too, such as making decisions based on a limited data set, or past experiencesExample: weighing the pros and cons of a decision before making it, analyzing potential return on investment before sponsoring a project, etc.Check out these famous examples of intuition—what parts of the brain were involved?44 BCE: Calpurnia, the wife of Julius Caesar, dreams of her husband’s assassination and urges him not to go to the Senate, where he goes anyway and is killedIt’s not magic: Calpurnia was unconsciously reacting to the tensions and signs of political dissent brewing in the Roman Empire [some heart brain, some gut brain, some reptilian and mammalian brain activation]1936: On a hunch, automobile tycoon Charles Howard purchases an underweight colt named Seabiscuit, who goes on to become one of the greatest racehorses in historyIt’s not magic: Howard’s business savvy and military cavalry training gave him the experience to recognize a gifted horse and a sound financial bet [some gut brain, some mammalian and prefrontal cortex brain activation]1962: After being rejected by dozens of publishers, Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle In Time is picked up by John Farrar of Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, which had not published children’s books before [some heart brain, some gut brain, some mammalian and possibly prefrontal cortex brain activation]Most cultures today worship the intellect—the prefrontal cortex functions—and thus often unintentionally condition children to discount their intuition. So let’s consider Albert Einstein and how when he discovered the theory of relativity he said (to paraphrase) “First I felt it, then I saw it, then I could explain it.” Sounds like a bunch of five brain activity to me!How Intuition WorksYour intuition is much faster than your analytical mind and relies on feelings—note above I refer to the neural tissue we all have in both our gut and our heart.We often hear about women’s intuition and how it’s stronger than men’s. Why? Two reasons: first, the insula in the female human brain is larger than in the male. The insula is often called the seat of intuition in human beings, and it’s where hurt feelings fester and hunches often spring from. Second, our female ancestors needed to ensure not only their own survival but also their children’s. While the males were often single-tasking such as hunting (with their larger amygdalas), the females were multi-tasking. The females were caring for the children, watching for danger as they gathered food, tracking non-verbal cues from others, and organizing environmental input and information.3 Steps To Optimize Your Intuition1-Notice your body’s reactions (changes in heartbeat, breathing, muscle tension).2-Understand that your intuition wants whatever you value most (happiness, health, prosperity)–your intuition could be signaling that even though a decision seems logical, it won’t bring you closer to your core goals.3-Likewise notice that your intuition is wiser than our ego, which may want you to make a specific decision for a certain gain, yet that gain might come at too high a cost—and your intuition will be trying to put on the brakes.So how do you balance intuition and logic?Look at the meaning you are making about a certain situation to check your assumptions.Look at your organismic rights and if they will be honored and expanded by that decision.Check yourself for unconscious biases that might be getting in the way.Follow your intuition when:Working in rapidly changing, high-stakes environmentsPerforming tasks you have done many times beforeBrainstorming or discussing business with partners or coworkersFollow your analytical brain when:Working in compliance scenarios or when under public or regulatory scrutinyDoing something you have never done beforeHiring new talent or delegating work to employees“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs, 2005 Stanford Commencement speechThe Net-NetIntuition is a combination of the five functioning brains you haveIntuition can be cultivated and improved by paying attention to the input your brains are offering youYour intuition might just be trying to tell you how to make better decisions—are you ready to listen?Resources Mentioned:The ArticleNowSourcing Intuition infographic 3 Brains blog postBiases Neural tissue we all have in both our gut and our heartOrganismic Rights infographicCognitive Bias CodexEmotional Resilience AssessmentLeadership Experience AssessmentGrowth AssessmentContact ChristineYou’re busy growing.

Finally, in the last segment, Postludes, Matt retcons early Marvel canon and Adam learns about the magic of role playing games.

Stevie hosts josh, vints the intern, and jordan in spoiling Seabiscuit It's the Depression, and everyone needs to hold onto a dream to get them through the bad times. Car maker Charles Howard is no different, he who is trying to rebuild his life after the tragic death of his only child and the resulting end of his first marriage. With second wife Marcela at his side, Charles wants to get into horse racing and ends up with a team of underdogs who are also chasing their own dream. The first is trainer Tom Smith, who has a natural instinct to spot the capabilities of horses. The second is the horse Tom chooses for Charles, Seabiscuit, an unconventional choice as despite his pedigreed lineage, Seabiscuit is small at fifteen and a half hands tall with a slight limp. But Tom can see something in Seabiscuit's nature to make him a winner, if only Seabiscuit can be retrained from his inbred losing ways. And third is the jockey they decide to hire, Johnny "Red" Pollard, so nicknamed because of his hair color.
