Das Evangelium des Königs (Alles neu 18)„Sie fielen nieder“„SIEHE, ICH MACHE ALLES NEU“, LEBEN IN ERWARTUNG - MONATSTHEMA DEZEMBER 2025Ich muss gestehen, es gab Momente im vergangenen Jahr, in denen ich nach einem Blick auf die Schlagzeilen gebetet habe: „Maranatha, komme bald, Herr Jesus! Wie lange noch?“ Gerade wenn man denkt, es kann mit der Gottlosigkeit, Grausamkeit, eiskalter Ungerechtigkeit dieser Welt nicht schlimmer werden, wird es noch schlimmer …Wir wollen diesen Monat, Eigenschaften der neuen Stadt anschauen … Sobald das neue Jahr losgeht, werden wir einen Bibelvers auf vielen Kalendern sehen, als Thema vieler Andachten und Predigten hören, auf Postkarten und Spruchkärtchen lesen, vor allem wenn wir uns in landeskirchlichen Kreisen und Gemeinschaften aufhalten. Es ist nämlich die Jahreslosung für das Jahr 2026. Eine fantastische Wahl für die Zeit, in der wir leben! Und weil diese Losung auch perfekt zu Advent und Weihnachten passt, schauen wir sie uns als Monatsthema Dezember an, hinführend zu Weihnachten. „Alles neu? Wann endlich?“, fragen die Kranken und Leidenden. „Muss irgendetwas neu sein?“, fragen die, die sich auf der Sonnenseite des Lebens aufhalten. Für beide Kategorien hat die Bibel mutmachende, herausfordernde Antworten! Jetzt abonnieren und keine Neuigkeit verpassen: Newsletter

He recounts a health and safety inspection that left the official in a "fugue state" due to the shop's conditions. Finally, Oliver celebrates eventually receiving a desk he fits under.

On today's show we are going to do a walk-through of a property offering memorandum in Arizona.  Let me be clear, I'm not here to disparage any property. I'm simply going to share our perspective of how we would look at the property. The property in question is a conversion of a 1960's vintage motel in Tempe Arizona. The original property had 140 motel rooms with a two story structure. The centre courtyard has amenities including a swimming pool. All of the parking is surface parking around the perimeter of the property. When we look at a property, we are looking at the submarket and the specifics of the deal. This particular property is located in an area that I would consider to be a lower income area.Apartments in these neighborhoods have been the subject of ICE raids resulting in deportations. If residents fear being discovered, they will often leave and the question becomes who will rent these apartments? This particular property is being advertised as newly renovated. But the truth is, the physical layout of the units means the bedrooms do not have windows. They are tucked at the back of the old motel room design. If they were built today, they would not pass the building code as a legal bedroom. The financial model that accompanied the glossy package showed some stellar returns. But unfortunately some of the financial metrics did not seem credible when viewed through our lens. There is no way in our opinion that a 70 year old motel converted to apartments would value at over $500 per SF in the open market. The sad part is that these types of listings are out there. I never want to see an investor lose money. I don't want to see a property fall into disrepair and become blight within the community. But things do get old. Once they're functionally obsolete, the right solution is to demolish and rebuild. Extending the life beyond the useful life is rarely the right answer. I've had to demolish properties in Philadelphia. It's sad when that happens.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

When buyers evaluate a software or tech company, they don't just look at top-line growth or EBITDA. Buyers dig into the quality of your revenue. Is it recurring? Diversified? Sustainable? These factors play a critical role in determining valuation and can mean the difference between an average and extraordinary outcome. In this webcast, we break down what acquirers really look for in revenue streams, how quality impacts valuation and what CEOs and founders can do now to strengthen their company's long-term value.

For review:1. President Trump Orders Blockade of Sanctioned Venezuelan Oil Tankers.2. Speaking at an annual meeting with top military officers, Russian President Putin said Moscow would prefer to achieve its goals and “eliminate the root causes of the conflict” by diplomatic means, but he added that “if the opposing side and its foreign patrons refuse to engage in substantive dialogue, Russia will achieve the liberation of its historical lands by military means.”3. Six Countries Join (Gaza) Board of Peace. The US has secured commitments from Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany to have their leaders join US President Donald Trump on the Board of Peace.4. The United States Central Command hosted a conference in Qatar on Tuesday with dozens of partner nations to discuss plans for an International Stabilization Force for the Gaza Strip.Egypt, Indonesia, Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Italy, France, the UK, and Azerbaijan were among the attendees. Other countries at the summit included Cyprus, Georgia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Jordan, Japan, Greece, Singapore, the EU, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kuwait, Morocco, Bahrain, Bosnia, Finland, Kosovo, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Spain, and Yemen.5. Senators voted 77-20 on a bipartisan basis to send this year's National Defense Authorization Act to the desk of President Donald Trump, who has indicated he will sign the bill. The 2026 NDAA authorizes $900.6 billion in defense funds, or about $8 billion more than the White House's request.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two listener stories that bring new meaning to “things that go bump in the night”, especially when they're not supposed to move at all.First, Lewis from Manchester shares his unnerving experience during a quiet night of maintenance work at his old school, where classroom drawers began sliding open on their own… as if a certain strict former teacher was still checking for tidiness from beyond the grave.Then, Tom recalls a chilling stay at his gran's countryside cottage, where an old armchair by the window, once his late grandfather's favorite spot, seemed to shift, breathe, and tap its way back into the living world. Was it just memory lingering… or something more?These stories explore the ghosts we remember—and the ones that remember us.Tune in if you're brave enough to listen in the dark. Hosted on Acast.

This week on O Lala in RVA, we're sitting down with someone who truly helped shape how Richmond sees itself — Juan Conde. Journalist. Broadcaster. Community voice. Motorcycle enthusiast. And yes… that voice you've trusted for decades.From his early days in radio to 22 years behind the anchor desk, Juan has covered some of the most defining moments of our time — and he's got the stories (and perspective) to prove it. We talk journalism, trust, the evolution of local news, and what it really takes to stay credible in an age of constant noise. Plus, Juan spills just enough about a very mysterious radio comeback

Eskom's talks with Glencore point to a new path for SA industry — but ideology still threatens growth. I unpack what it means for your money.

In this episode, Dr. Greg and Fr. Colin Lomnitzer dive into the real St. Joseph—the man who quietly shaped Jesus' courage, work, identity, and tenderness far more than most people realize. For anyone wrestling with father wounds, questions about masculinity, or mission, this conversation offers a powerful and healing perspective.   Key Topics: The surprising ways Joseph reverses generations of wounded fatherhood stretching from Adam to Abraham The invitation to let Joseph father you where your own story carries hurt, fear, or mistrust Why Jesus needed a real mother and a real father—and what that means for your own healing The hidden "reparenting" offered through baptism and why Mary and Joseph matter for your emotional life The overlooked link between Joseph's example and how Jesus treated women in the Gospels Why the Church may be recovering a deeper understanding of Joseph right when the world needs fathers most Learn More: Connect with Fr. Colin Lomnitzer — Discover more about Fr. Colin's ministry accompanying newly-ordained priests. From the Desk of Fr.

(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker can now enact a measure enhancing the state's migrant sanctuary policies that Republicans warn is too broad. House Bill 1312 was originally filed by state Rep. Maura Hirschauer, D-Batavia, in January, and started as a POW/MIA Recognition Day bill. It passed unanimously in the House in April and was read in the Senate for a second time in May, but was never approved before the end of spring session. In October, the Senate placed it up for final passage until Senate President Don Harmon filed an amendment on Oct. 30, changing the bill to the Illinois Bivens Act on the final day of scheduled veto session.

Property development has always been a balancing act — but right now the scales feel especially heavy. Rising construction costs, messy feasibilities, shifting lender appetite, and a market still absorbing the post-COVID shock are making it harder than ever to get a project funded and delivered. If you've been feeling the squeeze, this episode will help you understand what's really going on behind the scenes. In this episode of the Property Developer Podcast, we speak with Zac Constantinou, who started his career delivering medium and high-density projects in Sydney before moving into the finance world where he now works on construction funding and private capital at Shore Financial. Having worked both on site and on the lending side, Zac offers a rare perspective on what makes a project viable — and what sinks it. We cover a wide range of practical insights, including: Why “buying well” is still the most important part of development How private capital has stepped in as bank appetite has tightened The differences between traditional funding and private lenders What lenders now look for before backing a project Common red flags with builders and consultants The impact of cost blowouts and how to manage them Why some Sydney markets are heating up again after recent planning reforms The importance of clean feasibilities, strong documentation, and telling a clear lender story How developers can position themselves for success in a tougher environment “One of the biggest mistakes developers make is underestimating how even small cost or sales shifts can blow out a feasibility.” Property Developer Training If you're ready to take control of your development journey, my Property Developer Training will help you build the skills and confidence to run a small-scale project from start to finish. It covers everything from finding a site and running your numbers to managing consultants and navigating construction.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro and Kat dive deep into the mind-bending story of Michel Siffre, the French researcher who willingly descended into total darkness—twice—to learn what happens when humans are cut off from time itself. With no sunlight, no clocks, and no sense of day or night, Siffre's body drifted into bizarre 30- to 48-hour “days,” entire memories vanished, and even astronauts later admitted they'd felt the same disorienting effects in space. His experiments reshaped our understanding of circadian rhythms, aging, mental endurance, and the mysterious internal clocks that tick inside us all. Then, the show shifts from inner space to inner hauntings with the chilling tale of the Joy Hotel's haunted electric player piano in Pittsburg, Kansas. This wasn't your typical whispered-once urban legend—its eerie late-night melodies were documented in the 1930s by the WPA Folklore Project and confirmed by hotel employees who watched its keys move with no power and no player roll turning. Desk clerks, housekeepers, and even the handyman swore they saw it come alive…sometimes humming along…always cheerful at the worst possible moments. A piano that played only when it wanted to—and stopped the moment someone got too close. It's isolation, time distortion, ghostly ragtime, and the unsettling reminder that the world gets weirdest when nobody's watching. If you love psychological mysteries, paranormal folklore, and the beautifully bizarre, this one's a can't-miss. human circadian rhythm experiment, Michel Siffre cave study, internal clocks, time perception research, astronauts' sleep cycles, haunted player piano, Pittsburg, Kansas ghost stories, Joy Hotel haunting, WPA folklore ghost accounts, paranormal piano story, Box of Oddities episode This Box Contains The following Ingredients: human circadian rhythm experiment, Michel Siffre cave study, internal clocks, time perception research, astronauts' sleep cycles, haunted player piano, Pittsburg, Kansas ghost stories, Joy Hotel haunting, WPA folklore ghost accounts, paranormal piano story, Box of Oddities episode Learn more about your ad choices.

This time we head to Buffalo for Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story — clear eyes, full Bills, can't lose.ABOUT HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BILLS LOVE STORYSparks fly between two lifelong Buffalo Bills fans as they try to discover the identity of a mysterious Christmastime gift giver.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BILLS LOVE STORYNovember 23 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BILLS LOVE STORYHolland Roden as Morgan QuinnMatthew Daddario as Gabe DeLucaJoe Pantoliano as Uncle Tommy Caroline Aaron as Ricki DeLucaPatti Murin as CathyTracy Pollan Steve Schirripa BRAN'S HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BILLS LOVE STORY SYNOPSISMorgan is on a date during a Bills game — like, a total moron. She can't stop watching the game, her date isn't having it, and they leave. But at least now she can enjoy the game while sipping a drink made by Andrew Walker.The next day, she's with her family, the Quinns, who are hanging out with their best friends and next-door neighbors, the DeLucas family. Morgan lights up when Gabe shows up. They've been best friends forever, but Gabe has secretly been in love with her all along. With both of them single, maybe now's the time to finally shoot his shot.They go to snag a Christmas tree — at the same lot where Tyler Hynes and Hunter King are inexplicably picking out a tree. And, of course, the magical Santa tree is there too.When they get back home, they find an envelope addressed to Uncle Tommy. Inside is a Christmas ornament. He explains that someone has been sending gifts like this for 55 years — starting as groceries and cash when their family was struggling during his draft into the war, and evolving into ornaments every year. It's a mystery who the giver is.Morgan and Gabe decide to track down the mystery giver — harder than they expected. After a day together and seeing her in her element at the hospital, Gabe tries to confess his feelings but gets distracted by the Christmas light display at his house turning on.They ask Uncle Tommy to show them more ornaments, and on the bottom of one, they spot a store name. They track down receipts from the '70s and start combing through them. Eventually, they get a lead — though the giver's name isn't visible yet.It's obvious to everyone else that Gabe is in love with Morgan, but he can't bring himself to say it.Finally, they track down the mystery giver: Mia, a childhood friend of Tommy's who's secretly been in love with him all these years. Feeling a kinship with her situation, Gabe insists she tell Tommy. Mia resists, but Gabe won't let it go.Morgan confronts Gabe: “What's up with you?” He blurts, “I LOVE YOU, OKAY?!” She walks away to process it.It's time for the big Christmas game, and Gabe is nowhere to be found. Turns out he orchestrated Mia's daughter to be the “troop shoutout of the day,” and gets Tommy to publicly thank Mia. He finally tells her he's always loved her, and they kissssss.Everyone cheers — including Morgan, who can't believe everything Gabe did to make it happen. Her sister goes into labor, so they can't take their traditional family photo. Luckily, Gabe pulls some strings again, getting them back into the stadium to play catch with Bills legends and take their pictures. Morgan thanks Gabe with a big ol' kiss.Merry Christmas!

In his 20's, working an office job he hated, Tom woke up in the middle of the night with a wild idea: why not take people on bike trips? No playbook. No investors. Just a sense that he could make a living doing what he loved. His first trip? Four guests riding through Death Valley, pitching their own tents. From there, Backroads scaled to hotels, while weathering a bike burglary, a van rollover in the desert, 9/11, the Great Recession, and a pandemic that brought tourism to a halt. Today, Backroads runs 5,000+ trips a year in 60+ countries.This is a masterclass in savvy cash flow, scrupulous quality control, and dogged iteration.
