Billi breaks down the latest blockbuster developments surrounding Manchester City, after their SHAM commercials were publicly exposed by the Premier League.The independent commission found Man City guilty of:Man City arranged 'sham' contracts with a number of its commercial partners to artificially inflate the club's revenues and reduce its costs by more than £900m.The club filed accounts that concealed the true state of its finances from auditors and football regulators.Man City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League's and UEFA's spending limits.During the Premier League's investigation, Man City failed to co-operate and act in good faith towards the league.This episode also looks at a handful of selected UEFA Nations League matches, including France versus Italy, which will be Zidane's first home game in-charge of France, and England's trip to Croatia. Both Croatia and England have begun their campaigns with a win over Czech Republic and a defeat to world champions Spain, and now they meet in Rijeka hoping to get the upper hand in Group 3. A Lamine Yamal masterclass dealt Croatia a heavy defeat away to Spain and their 4-2 defeat to England in the World Cup will still be fresh in their memory.

Send us Fan MailHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, Alexandra Carrier, a luxury travel advisor in Austin, Texas area. This past summer Alexandra hosted a private charter yacht trip through the Croatian islands. She told me, “Many people said they could never cruise any other way after a week on board. We were able to visit small ports, had lots of swim stops, enjoyed the local food, had private tours of the cities with time to explore on our own. We came away feeling like we had truly experienced Croatia rather than a short excursion stop. I'd love to talk about why this trip changed my groups feelings on cruising, what I came away with from experiencing and hosting the trip myself, and how private yachting/small-ship travel is a great fit for people who don't think of themselves as ‘cruise people'......such as myself.” Alexandra Carrier is an Austin-based luxury travel advisor and independent advisor with Ciao Bambino. She works closely with her clients to plan trips that actually fit how they want to travel, rather than following a standard itinerary. She also spends a lot of time traveling herself, meeting with hotels and travel partners and experiencing destinations firsthand. Her recently hosted private yacht trip through Croatia, gave her a completely different perspective on seeing a destination from the water.Do you have a dream car?

So when Heather sat down with European consultant Cristiana Carpini, the question she really wanted answered was whether property managers on the other side of the Atlantic are talking about it too, or whether something else entirely is keeping them awake. The answer was blunt. Margins are shrinking, OTA dependence is rising, owner acquisition is harder, and teams are overloaded. Operators call Cristiana believing AI is the fix, and she tells them what they do not want to hear: AI cannot repair a broken business model, it can only automate a broken business faster. From there the conversation opens out into the real differences between running this business in Europe and in North America, from GDPR and owner expectations to employment law and competitive culture. It also covers what makes a property management company sellable, why that takes three years rather than three months, and why Cristiana founded the Women Vacation Rental European Conference. About Cristiana Carpini Cristiana Carpini is the founder and CEO of Tara Home Consulting, working with property managers across Europe on audits, business plans, restructuring and exits. She came into the industry by accident after five years as a guest relations manager on cruise ships, then spent years inside the big European brands including Novasol, Interhome and Belvilla, running markets in Italy, France and Croatia. She launched Tara Home Consulting during the pandemic, giving free advice to panicking operators, and never stopped. She is also the founder of the Women Vacation Rental European Conference. Key Takeaways AI cannot repair a broken business model. If the margin structure underneath the business does not work, automation makes the problem arrive faster rather than fixing it. What European operators actually bring to a consultant is shrinking margins, OTA dependence, harder owner acquisition and overloaded teams. AI is further down the list than the conference circuit suggests. Owner relationships are the one thing not to automate. Cristiana describes an owner who complained about pricing when the real problem was his mother's illness and his need for more money. No AI would have surfaced that. Europe is not one market. Drive two hours and you are in a different country with different tax, language, rules and owner expectations. Southern European owners are emotionally attached to their homes; northern European owners often are not. Employment rules vary just as sharply. An Italian employee may accept a 24 hour emergency call-out where a French employee is protected by far stricter rules, so expansion planning has to account for labor law, not just demand. Preparing a company for sale usually takes three years. Sell faster than that and you leave money on the table, because valuation looks at reviews, brand, website and direct bookings, not just EBITDA. The business has to become independent of its founder. Heather hired her own replacement three years before selling Cottage Link, precisely so the buyer was not buying a company that only worked with her in it. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

War has wracked Ukraine for 1,678 days—outlasting both World Wars. In this conversation with Mark Labberton, Fyodor Raichynets—a theologian at Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary, pastor of a church in Bucha, and a military chaplain serving on the front lines in Kyiv—explains what it is like to be under near-constant drone and ballistic attack and how that has affected his faith, memory, and experience of time.  War has reshaped the way he loves, forgives, and serves; it has induced a fear even to hope. Together, they discuss trauma as a national condition and the temptation to despair when God seems not to intervene. They also consider the moral wounds soldiers carry from killing, the competing prayers of two mothers inside one congregation, and what it means to see God in the face of the needy—even when the needy include one's enemies. Episode Highlights "'Into your hands I commit my spirit'—and with these words on my lips I go to bed every night ... I go to bed with the thought that I may not wake up in the morning, so I just make sure that my spirit is in his hand." "If I have something to share and there is a person that needs it, well, I would share anyway ... Probably that's what the love for the enemies is all about." "I jokingly put it that I have this 'planophobia' in the recent years, so I'm even afraid to plan my life, but you know that you cannot do it without any planning." "Trauma emerges in a place where you find rescue and where instead of security you find insecurity." "I was just thinking how blessed we are that we don't know the future. And this not knowing what is ahead of us keeps us going, in fact." "We have fear to hope, because whatever we hoped for over these four years, it just gets worse, not better." "Those whom they have killed ... they come to them in their dreams, in their sleep, and they said that they physically sense it. They even sense it that someone is grabbing their hand." "One wife would pray ... that God would protect her son not to be drafted. But in the same group there is a mother who asked to pray that God would protect her son on the front line. So what should we pray for?" "War creates such a basic need ... you need water, you don't need luxury things. ... So when we see the needy people and we minister to them, that is what makes us a people of a pure heart." About Fyodor Raichynets Fyodor Raichynets is a theologian, pastor, and military chaplain in Kyiv, Ukraine. He heads the department of theology at Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary, where he teaches leadership and biblical studies, particularly the Gospel of Matthew, and directs its master's program in transformative leadership. A former student of Miroslav Volf in Osijek, Croatia, he ministered for years across the Balkans. He pastors Bethany Church in Bucha and wrote the chapter on the pure in heart for Beatitudes and Terror: A Ukrainian Theological Response to Russian Aggression. Since the 2022 invasion, he has led relief work among Kyiv's most vulnerable, feeding the elderly and the displaced.

Before the 1990s, international institutions and mainstream political figures seldom used the term. Then came the Serb atrocities in Croatia and Bosnia, and ethnic cleansing gained wide acceptance.What does it mean? Does it have a legal grounding? Or is it a euphemism for genocide?

A haunted trail, campsites decked out for Halloween, and Yogi Bear himself — fall at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Luray is a lot more than pitching a tent. On this Luray-Page County edition of Tourism Tuesday, Janet Michael and Gina Hilliard of the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce welcome general manager Bryan Fykes — better known around the park as "Ranger Bryan" — to talk about one of Page County's most popular places to stay and play. Ranger Bryan walks through every way to visit, from day passes and pup tents to deluxe cabins and a five-bedroom house that families book for Thanksgiving. He shares the park's history, how it's coming back stronger after a fire this summer, and how locals can join in on the haunted trail this October. Gina looks back on her first job at the park as a teenager, and wraps up with the chamber's fall calendar — Women in Business trivia, a Golf Classic that funds local scholarships, and a 2027 trip to Croatia.

TRIVAN & HKSPK — TWO FACES OF THE EUROPEAN UNDERGROUNDEpisode 295 is a double header that takes Heavy Metal Tones deep into two very different corners of the European black metal underground.First up, TRIVAN from Croatia — esoteric, philosophical and steeped in an atmosphere that feels almost ancient. Their music is built around darkness, introspection, spiritual resistance and the search for something deeper beneath the surface.Then we head to Germany for HKSPK, whose black/death metal takes a much more introspective and contemporary path. Their music feels rooted in lived experience, loss, conflict and the world around them — raw, direct and very much of the present.Two bands. Two countries. Two very different approaches to extreme metal.One feels ancient. The other feels new.One looks beyond the world. The other looks directly into it.And to make this episode even more special, I've got TWO EXCLUSIVE TRACKS — one from each of these European underground bands.This is Heavy Metal Tones at its best: digging beneath the surface, finding music that deserves to be heard, and bringing it directly to you.TRIVAN

The EU has gone through seven waves of enlargement since 1973, but there has not been one since Croatia joined in 2013. Indeed, there are not likely to be any new members in the club before 2028 – some 15 years after Croatia entered. But 2026 undeniably has momentum, and is on track to be a record year in terms of opening and closing new chapters for existing applicants. That is why our guest, EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos, sees this as "the year of the enlargement."

Recorded 23rd November 2024In this profound spiritual discourse, Gurudev and devotees explore the deeper aspects of constant divine remembrance (smarana) and the art of inner service (manasa seva).Centered around Verse 54 of Śri Vilapa-kusumanjali by Śrila Raghunatha dasa Goswami, the discussion highlights how clear spiritual visions and dreams serve as the essential life support for a practitioner. Without absorption in the Divine Couple, the mind naturally wanders toward temporary material attachments and distractions.The discourse also delves into Bhagavad-gita 4.10, explaining how to free the heart from attachment, fear, and anger by refocusing the soul's natural urge for love back onto the Supreme Lordvisit: http://beautyofreallove.com/visit: https://sadhumaharaja.net/audio: https://tinyurl.com/BeautyOfRealLove#bhakti #bhaktiyoga #raganugabhakti #radha #krishna #gaudiya #sadhumaharajaVilapa Kusumanjali Lectures: https://tinyurl.com/VilapaKusumanjaliVilapa Kusumanjali morning lectures: https://tinyurl.com/VrindavanMorningKIRTAN live: https://tinyurl.com/MungerKirtanLiveQandA with Sadhu Maharaja: https://tinyurl.com/QandAwithSadhuMaharajaRadha Rasa Sudhanidhi Lectures: https://tinyurl.com/RadhaRasaSudhanidhiLectures

Corey Cook has been planning trips professionally for years, from teen adventures in Morocco to African safaris to the multi-family ski weeks that used to be reserved for the ultra wealthy. Leslie sits down with her old friend (nicknamed Quad since their boarding school days) to find out what a travel advisor actually does, and why so many people are finally using one.Corey walks through the questions she asks every client before planning a trip, her favorite family and teen destinations right now (Morocco, Portugal, Costa Rica, London, Paris), and why a growing number of Americans are flying to the Alps to ski instead of paying Telluride prices.

GSX 2026 wraps up today, so we're taking a look back at another major event that concluded recently: The FIFA World Cup 2026. James Weston, a team-base camp security specialist for FIFA, kept the Croatian team safe as it trained, practiced, and rested in Alexandria, Virginia, for its North American matches. He shares how he got the gig, what he learned on site, and why he found the players particularly inspiring. Additional Resources Weston says security teams for soccer events watch out for so-called “soccer ultras,” passionate fans who sometimes take their love for teams too far.

If you have access to Google Maps, or preferably, an original wall map of Africa, stand back for a moment to savour the grand vista which is southern Africa. Living on the tip looking upwards creates a culture of outwardness, a mental and psychological state of eternal expansion. Despite this grandiosity, for many, it is a place of entrapment, they express sentiments of being stuck at the end of Africa, peering outwards to the continents of Europe, or America, Australasia with a sense of longing. It is as though we are fenced in by our own preconceptions, endlessly scrolling through the timelines of the grand and glorious X Y or Z generation gallavanting through the safe woods of Croatia, swimming along the elegant isles of the Med, wondering at the delights of the Barrier Reef. Croatia, of course, is where European-based ethnic cleansing took place in 1995. Europe is where almost 50 million died 70 years ago in a world war. America has been transfixed by a form of national socialism, Australia faces Chinese hegemony. Still, humans are a strange bunch, history a distant ship smoke on the horizon. It is a pitiful state where middle-class South Africans appear to have become transfixed by the myth of greengrassism. Where the grass is always greener on the other side. Our ancestors made their way into south Africa with a very different set of personal codes. From the earliest San, the Khoekhoe, then the Bantu settlers, then the European settlers, all arrived in this territory with plans and dreams. The dream may have been purely survival, or seeking treasure, for some it was purely adventure, for others, a combination of the above. But all of our ancestors had a plan which involved movement, migration, heading out to the next vista with necessities of whatever sort packed away and taken along. They were stoked by imagination, courageous, expansive. Looking at that southern African map a few important facts leap out. There are three main corridors from the south to the centre. One lies to the East, which can be tricky as it harbours fevers, faster flowing rivers, and inhabitants stretching back millennia. The centre is cooler in places, it is higher ground, but it also suffers from a lack of water, slow flowing larger rivers, and as you move north, geology plays tricks on you. To the west, well, there's a bloody great series of deserts, marching from the Karoo, Namaqualand, to the Kalahari, into the Namib, then into the Angolan plateau. Good luck using that route, even these days. Take a Land Cruiser with spare tanks, tyres and don't forget the satellite phone. There are a few important characters in this episode. One is Lobengula kaKhumalo, the descendant of Mzilikazi who had led his followers away from Shaka. You know his story if you've followed this series. Lobengula was crowned king of Ndebele in 1868 after a short, sharp civil war, at the great place called Mhlanhlandlela. He had long been tolerant of the Boer and English hunters who showed up as his home in Matabeleland, and in 1870 had even granted Sir John Swinburne's London and Limpopo Mining Company the right to search for gold along the Tati River — between the Shashe and Ramaquabane Rivers. N those days, the whole of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, but people like MacNeill were working towards Home Rule. In what can only be called a head scratcher, Rhodes fell in with the nationalists. He knew that they had 85 seats in the British parliament and were strategically important, many times when the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party were at loggerheads, it was the Irish Parliamentary Party that turned into King-makers, holding the balance of power in the House of Commons.

In this episode of the Super Progressive Podcast, hosts SP and David sit down with Melbourne-based DJ and producer Mike Rish fresh off a grueling but rewarding seven-week European tour [1:26]. Mike walks through his journey from playing Nom in Barcelona to the Super Progressive Boat Party at Balance Croatia, Loveland in Amsterdam, and closing out in Manchester with Jamie Stevens [3:48], sharing what it means to go full-time with music and why face-to-face connections in this scene are worth their weight in gold.The conversation goes deep into Mike's distinctly groove-driven DJ style, a constant, elastic tension that layers tracks and builds dance floors without relying on long breakdowns [12:13], and how years of experience have sharpened his instincts behind the decks [10:04]. He opens up about the influences that shape his sound, from 90s hip-hop vocal samples and Dub Techno to Depeche Mode to Eric Prydz, whose technical mastery and independent spirit Mike credits as a defining inspiration [27:40].Mike also pulls back the curtain on Tornn Records, his independent label where there are no promo campaigns, no guest lists, and no release schedules forced by outside pressure [42:35]. He explains why the music should speak for itself, why follower counts mean nothing to him when evaluating demos [37:12], and why underground music was never meant to be force-fed to an audience [38:09].Rounding out the episode, Mike previews an exciting slate of upcoming shows including Sri Lanka, South America, and beyond [53:56], and the gang shares their thoughts on Balance versus ADE and why the progressive scene's tight-knit community -- especially out of Melbourne -- continues to punch far above its weight [49:32].
