Requests include people without conviction Requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold immigrants detained in the Dutchess County jail and other Hudson Valley lockups have accelerated this year and largely target people without convictions, according to data released in July. The Deportation Data Project, a team of academics and attorneys, sued ICE under the federal Freedom of Information Act to obtain the data, which covers September 2023 through June 26. After receiving 20 "detainers" - requests to hold inmates for up to 48 hours past their release date so ICE could re-arrest them - in 2024, Dutchess has received 19 already this year, with two detainees taken into ICE custody. Nearly all the 17 men and two women - most of whom are from Ecuador, Guatemala and Mexico - had pending charges but no convictions. Two were categorized as an "other immigration violator," meaning they had no convictions or charges. While federal officials have said they are pursuing people who have committed "serious" crimes, "everything we've seen about the way this administration operates tells us that they are not targeting people in any particular way," said Zachary Ahmad, senior policy counsel with the New York Civil Liberties Union. "They're, in fact, sweeping very broadly to arrest and detain as many immigrants as they possibly can." Twenty of the 51 people sought by ICE from the Orange County jail since January had criminal convictions, with driving while intoxicated being the most common serious offense, followed by two larceny convictions. Just six of the people sought by ICE from the Westchester County jail had criminal convictions - two for larceny, two for rape and the others for robbery and a traffic offense - while 37 had pending charges and two had no criminal records. The ICE requests led to four inmates held by the Putnam County jail being taken into federal custody, along with 12 from Orange and six from Westchester, according to the data. ICE issues detainers based on final deportation orders, pending deportations, fingerprint matches with Department of Homeland Security records or a person's admission to an immigration official that they are here without authorization. Fingerprints shared with the FBI enable the agency to locate people in local jails. County jails in New York state are not legally obligated to notify ICE that a prisoner will be released from custody or to honor its detainer requests, according to guidance issued in January by the state Attorney General's Office. Requests are often accompanied by an administrative warrant issued by immigration authorities, which local police are prohibited from honoring under a 2018 state court decision in a lawsuit filed by the NYCLU on behalf Susai Francis, a native of India. Attorney General Letitia James recommends that local jails only honor detainers when ICE presents a warrant signed by a federal judge. Such warrants are "something that ICE is not in the practice of providing," instead relying primarily on administrative warrants, said Ahmad. "ICE just sends the detainers, and then it's the local law enforcement that decides what to do with them," he said. "Under the Francis decision, they're not permitted to hold a person beyond their release date." William Moore, the superintendent for the Dutchess County jail, did not respond to a request for comment. Capt. Michael Grossi of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said in January that ICE is notified when detainees sought by the agency are scheduled for release, but that the jail will not hold them longer unless a federal judge signs a warrant. He said that has been the policy for at least 10 years, and under two previous sheriffs.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/791 Presented By: Pescador on the Fly, Patagonia, Mountain Waters Resort, Intrepid Camp Gear. Sponsors: Https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors On this episode, we sit down with Wesley Hodges, a decorated military veteran turned premier fly fishing and hunting guide in Virginia. Wesley shares the wild journey that led him from a cane pole in Texas to discovering fly fishing at a Boy Scout camp, to a life-changing decision made in a tiki bar in Ecuador. What followed was the creation of Virginia's first dedicated fly fishing and hunting lodge—an operation that now runs year-round across some of the most remote and productive water systems in the Eastern U.S. Right now, you'll discover why Virginia may be the "New West" for fly fishing, how to rethink your entire approach to trip planning, and the subtle techniques that make all the difference when targeting trophy Smallmouth bass. Wesley unpacks the essence of crafting full-circle outdoor experiences—one that fuses drift boats, dogs, wild trout, and grouse—all under one roof. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the game, this one is loaded with tactical gold. Wesley with a Smallmouth Bass Show Notes on Smallmouth Bass with Wesley Hodges 1:13 - Wesley Hodges discovered fly fishing as a teen at a Boy Scout camp, but it wasn't until after his military service that he returned to the sport. That rediscovery led him to launch Virginia's first dedicated fly fishing and hunting lodge, where he now guides guests through some of the state's wildest rivers. 5:41 - After a transformative period living in Ecuador, Wesley Hodges returned to Virginia and launched a guiding business that evolved into the state's first true fly fishing and hunting lodge. Located in Eagle Rock at the confluence of the Cowpasture and Jackson rivers, his lodge now operates year-round with a full staff, offering multi-day fishing and hunting experiences across a vast, fishable watershed. Here for more information. 9:58 - While Virginia has trout, Wesley Hodges positions the state as a true smallmouth bass destination. With fishable waters nearly year-round—from March through Thanksgiving—he emphasizes that fly fishing is a tool for all species, and smallmouth are the primary focus across his guided trips. 11:34 - Wesley explains that smallmouth bass fishing in Virginia transitions from pre-spawn in early spring to a topwater-focused season from mid-June through early October. During summer, anglers throw frog patterns and poppers all day, targeting big fish in just 1.5 feet of water, only inches from the riverbank. 14:01 - Wesley emphasizes that the biggest smallmouth are often found just inches from the riverbank, citing an old rule: “one inch from the bank equals a 20-inch fish.” Subtle depressions and undercut edges create ideal ambush spots for fish feeding on crayfish, cicadas, and frogs, making precise casting near the bank both strategic and more engaging for anglers. 15:24 - Wesley and his team primarily use Blue Ridge drift boats for guiding, having moved away from rafts due to the boats' quiet, low-impact design, ideal for shallow Virginia waters. Built from durable UHMW material, these boats slide silently over rocks—minimizing fish disturbance—and come with exceptional on-site support, making them perfect for their smallmouth operations. 21:21 - Wesley leads summer topwater floats through Virginia's river systems, favoring evening windows from 6:00 to 8:30 PM when the smallmouth bite peaks. His team utilizes highly technical rigs—customized floating lines, 10 to 13-foot leaders, and lightweight crayfish patterns—to quietly target fish in low, clear water, where precision and stealth are essential. 24:45 - Wesley's team targets calm tailouts with floating lines, casting downstream close to the bank so flies reach the fish before the boat does. In these slow waters, they dead-drift subtle poppers for up to 20 seconds, drawing in large smallmouth with minimal movement and intense visual takes. 27:19 - Wesley and his team primarily use Boogle Bugs in size 4 for topwater—favoring yellow, white, and electric blue sliders or poppers depending on fish behavior. When bass grow picky, they switch to more subtle patterns like Mr. Wiggle Legs, observing how fish react and adjusting presentations based on subtle visual cues. 33:42 - Wesley shares that his guides typically float rather than anchor, covering 4 to 12 miles depending on water levels, through remote stretches of western Virginia rivers where development is scarce. With vast tracts of farmland and surrounding public lands like George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, anglers experience a true wilderness float, often without seeing another boat all day. 36:27 - Wesley shares that anglers from around the world, including Europe and beyond, are now traveling to Virginia to fish its wild rivers and experience its remote beauty. They've trademarked the phrase “Virginia is the New West” to highlight that the state's rugged landscapes rival those out west, with strong local efforts to keep it preserved. 38:46 - In addition to fishing, Wesley's operation offers a standout upland bird hunting experience focused on wild grouse and woodcock. His team has spent over a decade scouting remote Appalachian terrain to locate thriving bird populations rarely accessed by other hunters. 40:45 - Wesley's outfitting service offers popular turkey and upland bird hunts, with seasons spanning October to March for grouse and woodcock, and April to May for turkey. His cast-and-blast packages are highly sought after, often selling out early due to his expert-guided approach and deep understanding of Virginia's diverse terrain. 42:58 - Wesley's team regularly welcomes newcomers to hunting, offering educational experiences centered around wild game and conservation. Beginners are guided through the full process—from casting or dog-assisted upland hunts to cleaning and preparing the birds—without needing to purchase any gear upfront, making it accessible and informative. 47:00 - In spring, Wesley notes that anglers enjoy prime smallmouth bass and wild trout fishing as warming waters trigger aggressive pre-spawn feeding. This season also offers the chance to mix in a day of bird hunting before preserve seasons close in mid-to-late April. 51:33 - Wesley explains that anglers with personal boats can freely access the region's smallmouth waters via public launches. However, trout fishing on the Jackson River is more complicated due to King's Grant laws—some sections legally prohibit fishing, even while floating through. Because of this, he recommends hiring a guide to avoid potential trespassing fines, which can be severe. 56:38 - Wesley shared that in summer, his essential gear includes Chaco flip flops and Patagonia's natural fiber sun hoodies for breathability and sun protection. He also highlighted the Orvis Tippe boat bag and Helios rods, noting their beginner-friendly design that makes it easy to feel the rod load for more effective casting. 60:31 - Wesley emphasized that proper casting tempo and thumb positioning are crucial for fly casting success. He advises anglers to slow down their cast and lead with the thumb on both the back and forward casts, helping maintain control and avoid excessive wrist break, which can misalign the rod and fly line. 63:00 - Wesley emphasized that smallmouth bass are almost always willing to eat, especially if anglers present a crayfish imitation, which makes up the bulk of their diet. While known for their aggression, he noted they can also become selective, often requiring smaller flies and longer leaders in shallow, clear water to entice strikes. 67:00 - Wesley shared that he's been living full-time in his 30-foot Airstream, which he keeps parked at the lodge during the season and uses to travel for bird hunting in the off-season. From a third-party perspective, his deep appreciation for the Airstream reflects his commitment to durability, mobility, and comfort. This lifestyle choice complements his work as a guide and outdoorsman. Conclusion with Wesley Hodges on Smallmouth Bass In this episode, Wesley Hodges shares expert insight into smallmouth bass behavior, fly presentation, and how subtle changes in river topography—like those shallow bankside ditches—can hold surprisingly big fish. He explains the legal complexities of Virginia's Jackson River, offers practical tips for solo anglers, and emphasizes the value of hiring a guide to avoid trouble. Wesley also reveals his must-have gear, from Chaco flip-flops to the latest Orvis rods, and explains why crayfish patterns are a reliable go-to when targeting smallmouth. From stealth casting tips to surprising shallow-water hotspots, this episode is packed with knowledge for serious anglers. What's the most surprising place you've ever hooked a big smallmouth bass?

Tamara is just back from a 5-night Galapagos Islands cruise on board the Galaxy Yacht. She was hosted on this trip by Galaxy Expeditions but all opinions are her own. Galaxy Expeditions operates a number of yachts in the Galapagos and also can arrange for land travel in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. The Galaxy Yacht has eight cabins for a maximum of 16 passengers. Episode Highlights You need to fly to the Galapagos from either Quito or Guayaquil in Ecuador (1.5 - 2 hours) At the airport before leaving the mainland, you need to purchase your tourist card and have your luggage inspected and zip tied to protect the islands from bringing in invasive species A delegate from Galaxy Expeditions met her at the airport to walk her through the process Once you arrive in the Galapagos, you need to pay an entrance fee to support the National Park ($200 per person) and they reinspect luggage, which takes about an hour on arrival You then meet your group and take a bus to the port where you load onto zodiac boats to get to the yacht A 5-night cruise was a nice amount of time to reach many of the islands and see a ton of wildlife but longer would be more tiring and could get a little repetitive Most of the cruises in the Galapagos are 16-32 or maybe 50 passengers If you are prone to motion sickness, you will feel it, especially at night as they moved from place to place The engines are also loud so bring ear plugs or a sound machine to help drown it out I'd recommend bringing Dramamine or seasickness meds as well as sleep aids On board, there were two solo travelers, a few couples and a mother-daughter duo from Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and the USA The food was really good and breakfast was usually a buffet and lunch was a buffet or served and there were usually two options for a dinner entree They also served light snacks and fresh juice or tea after excursions Excursions and meals are included (alcohol is not) Excursions start early and stay busy all day.

Most leaders travel alone for work. But how many take a real solo vacation—just for themselves, not for business? I recently took my first-ever solo trip through Peru and Ecuador, and it changed me. I reconnected with myself. I reflected deeply. I came back more grounded, clear, and confident as a leader. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I share why every leader should consider a solo vacation, how it strengthens your leadership, and how you can plan a meaningful trip that resets your mindset and helps you lead with intention. Why Solo Time Is Essential for Modern Leaders 1. Clarity requires solitude 2. Breaking routine unlocks creativity 3. Being alone builds self-leadership 4. Presence deepens connection How to Take a Transformational Solo Vacation • Choose a place that stretches you—culturally, spiritually, physically • Unplug completely—no work emails, no “just checking in” • Journal and reflect—capture what you learn • Say yes to connection—talk to strangers, share stories • Pay attention to your thoughts—notice what comes up in the stillness Key Takeaways 1. Solo time is a powerful leadership tool 2. Travel breaks patterns and expands your thinking 3. Self-trust comes from being alone and handling challenges 4. Presence builds deeper, more authentic relationships 5. Insight and clarity are born in stillness, not hustle Mic Drop Moment “You cannot lead others from a place of internal chaos or disconnection.

In this sermon, Pastor Todd addresses the topic of suffering from 1 Peter 3:13-22. He emphasizes that while Christians throughout history have faced persecution, there is hope in knowing that 'there will be a day' when suffering ends. The message explores four types of suffering (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual) while reminding believers that our hope is anchored in Christ's resurrection and the promise of eternal life where tears and pain will cease.The pastor identified four types of suffering: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Which of these have you experienced most prominently in your life, and how has it affected your faith?In 1 Peter 3:15, believers are instructed to 'always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.' How would you articulate your hope in Christ to someone who is suffering?The pastor used the analogy of seeing 'in a mirror dimly' from 1 Corinthians 13. How does this help us understand our limited perspective during times of suffering?How do you respond to the idea that some suffering is self-inflicted through sin, while other suffering comes despite doing good?The sermon mentioned that 'fear is not of the Lord' (2 Timothy 1:7). How do you combat fear when facing difficult circumstances or suffering?The pastor shared the story of missionaries who were killed in Ecuador, yet their deaths ultimately led to the tribe's conversion. How does this story challenge your perspective on suffering for Christ?What does it mean to you personally that 'there will be a day' when suffering ends? How does this future hope affect how you live now?The sermon emphasized that our inheritance in Christ 'can never perish, spoil or fade.' How might remembering this truth change how you view your current struggles?Support the show

For the first time, two leading Israeli human rights organisations, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, have accused their own country of committing genocide in Gaza. In reports published on Monday, they said “Israel is taking co-ordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip" and that it is “systematic” in its targeting of Gaza's healthcare infrastructure. Israel has denied the allegation and has called the case "wholly unfounded" and based on "biased and false claims". Also: The BBC's International Editor Jeremy Bowen views Gaza from above in one of the Jordanian planes delivering aid from the sky, the investigation into a deadly mass shooting in Ecuador, and why Catholic influencers are gathering in Rome.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has secured another major global headline by being announced as a principal headliner for the 2025 Global Citizen Festival, set for September 27 in Central Park, New York. This is not just another gig—she'll be sharing the bill with megastars like The Weeknd, Tyla, Ayra Starr, and Mariah the Scientist, while Hugh Jackman returns for his eleventh year as host. According to the official Global Citizen campaign, this year's focus includes providing energy access to a million people across Africa, mobilizing 200 million dollars to safeguard 30 million hectares of the Amazon rainforest, and delivering quality education, in partnership with FIFA, to 30,000 children globally. Shakira spoke about her motivation for joining the festival, saying she's “honored to headline the incredible Global Citizen Festival in Central Park this September… Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world. I can't wait to perform, unite, and inspire action.” Press from CBS News New York and TimeOut New York has echoed how significant this platform is, especially given its intersection of entertainment and urgent global activism. Tickets are once again technically free, but hopeful attendees have to participate in advocacy actions to gain entry.This Central Park appearance is uniquely timed as a standout pause from her ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which continues to make waves across the U.S. and will soon hit Latin America, including Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, and Ecuador. Her recent stadium show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, announced and promoted heavily by the venue, reaffirmed her enduring arena-filling appeal. On social media, Shakira's engagement shows no signs of slowing. An Instagram video surfaced this week where Shakira appears recharging in the sun, teasing fans to “expect more for your hair,” fueling speculation about a possible new beauty or personal care collaboration, though details remain unconfirmed.Looking at recent trending headlines, the festival announcement has dominated reputable outlets like CBS, TimeOut, and Global Citizen's own platform, elevating Shakira's current activities to the level of biographical significance—this is a global impact moment, not just a musical milestone. No major controversies or negative news tied to Shakira herself have broken through in the last few days. While less substantial, Shakira also became an unexpected talking point in viral pop culture when another Shakira—Love Island UK's Shakira Khan—sparked debate for her fame-related comments, but there is no relation to the artist, and confusion seems limited to fleeting social media buzz. At this pace, Shakira's 2025 looks not just busy, but legacy-defining.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Is a river alive? What a question….it throws up so many if, buts, maybes, but most importantly, why not? They are our lifeblood, our circulation, our healing waters. But they also need saving now in these troubled times of extraction, industrialisation and pollution. To kick off Season 2, we're taking the big picture view when it comes to rivers, and we're asking shouldn't the rights of nature be respected in our laws and constitutions? If a limited company can have legal rights why then can't our rivers? Without our rivers, without due care, without oversight…..well, we all know what can and is happening in terms of water quality and how that is affecting us all, not least of all the wild salmon. So to help with some of these existential questions, celebrated nature writer, Rob Macfarlane joins Jim Murray to discuss how he set out on journeys around the globe, from Ecuador to India and Canada, and finally to his own home waters in Cambridge, to ask is a river alive?The Last Salmon Season 2 is supported by The Missing Salmon Alliance.Image: Richard Davies via https://www.instagram.com/racdavies_photos/ The Last Salmon, presented by actor and salmon activist, Jim Murray MBE, offers hope and solutions to the tragic story that is unfolding for an iconic species in crisis - the wild salmon.

Busquedas profundasJuan Jesús Vallejo nos guía por los túneles del misterio, revelando que las antiguas leyendas sobre ciudades bajo tierra no eran solo mitos. En Derinkuyu, Turquía, se descubrió una impresionante urbe subterránea de más de diez niveles, capaz de albergar miles de personas. Desde entonces, en Anatolia han sido halladas más de 200 ciudades similares, cuya construcción sigue sin explicación en los registros históricos. Pero el enigma es global. En América Latina, específicamente en Ecuador, la cueva de los Tayos guarda secretos aún más inquietantes. Los indígenas Shuar aseguran que en sus profundidades habitan seres fantásticos que, de vez en cuando, emergen para comunicarse con los humanos.Junto a la investigadora Débora Goldstern, profundiza en los misterios de civilizaciones ocultas, túneles olvidados y conocimientos ancestrales que desafían lo que creemos saber sobre nuestra historia.¡Descubre más sobre estas teorías enigmáticas en un nuevo episodio de Noche de Misterio!
With Timothy Foden, Partner at Boies Schiller Flexner LLPRecording date: 21th July, 2025Mining companies facing government interference are increasingly turning to international arbitration as a legal remedy against sovereign risk. Timothy Foden of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP specializes in representing mining companies against states that expropriate assets or deny permits through arbitrary administrative actions, operating across jurisdictions including Poland, Tanzania, Peru, Morocco, and Mexico.The legal framework relies on bilateral and multilateral investment treaties established since the 1950s, which protect foreign investment through binding arbitration mechanisms under international law. Successful claims typically demonstrate that sovereign states acted arbitrarily or violated their own mining codes and administrative laws to disadvantage foreign companies.Boies Schiller Flexner's selective approach has yielded significant results, including a $331 million award against Poland for the Jan Karski coal project and three successful cases against Tanzania. The firm evaluates cases based on five criteria: evidence of legal breaches, substantial sunk costs, witness quality, treaty compliance, and the defendant state's ability to pay awards.Most cases require third-party litigation financing due to junior mining companies' limited resources. Specialist financiers evaluate legal merit and damages potential before funding cases, serving as an additional quality filter. The arbitration process spans approximately two years, with 18 months of written pleadings followed by evidentiary hearings and tribunal deliberation.Damages calculations vary by project stage, with production-ready projects potentially receiving net present value awards, while exploration-stage projects may receive "exploration multiplier" compensation based on sunk costs. Awards are enforceable globally wherever defendant states maintain assets, though collection depends on sovereign financial capacity.The firm currently handles active cases in Morocco, Ethiopia, Montenegro, Mexico, and Poland, while monitoring emerging risks like Ecuador's new per-hectare mining fees. As resource nationalism increases globally, international arbitration provides mining companies with meaningful recourse against sovereign interference, though success requires substantial preparation, financing, and legal expertise.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
El Organismo de Investigación Judicial desarticuló una red de trata de personas dirigida por una célula criminal desprendida del Tren de Aragua, que tenía cautivas 90 mujeres venezolanas con fines de explotación sexual. Se allanaron tres hoteles y cuatro casas en San José y detuvieron a 10 personas de la red que mantenía a las mujeres en cautiverio, incomunicadas, explotadas, sin alimentación y obligadas a prostituirse. El Tren de Aragua es una banda criminal transnacional con presencia en Chile, Colombia, Perú, Ecuador, Bolivia y Costa Rica, con operaciones de secuestros, robos, narcotráfico, prostitución y extorsión, entre otros delitos. Está tipificada como una organización terrorista global. Para conocer cuánta penetración tiene en Costa Rica conversaremos mañana con Rodrigo Campos Cordero, Director Ciencias Criminológicas de la UNED.

La asociación afirma que desde agosto de 2024 hasta julio de 2025, han sido asesinados 32 choferes, siete pasajeros, un gerente y un cobrador. Para los conductores de transporte público en Perú, su trabajo se ha convertido en una fuente de angustia y peligro, ya que temen que en cualquier momento pueda subir a su vehículo un sicario con el objetivo de asesinarles debido a que su empresa no pagó un cupo. Dimitri Senmache, exministro del Interior de Perú y especialista en seguridad, ha alertado sobre la proliferación de organizaciones mafiosas. Presencia del tren de Aragua y los Choneros en Perú "Nosotros, desde hace tiempo, hemos estado vislumbrando el crecimiento de organizaciones criminales - principalmente vinculadas al narcotráfico - que han comenzado a abrir otros nódulos", explica Senmache. Este relaciona los hechos con la migración de criminales de Colombia y Venezuela que huyen de la ley en sus países de origen. El exministro del Interior asegura que miembros del tren de Aragua o los Choneros de ecuador están presentes en Perú; los cuales extorsionan a "pequeños transportistas, pero hoy ya están con transportes de mediana envergadura, y eso hace pensar que se están fortaleciendo más". División en el gremio de transportistas A pesar del peligro que representan estas acciones criminales, existe una fragmentación dentro del gremio de los transportistas, que no han logrado ponerse de acuerdo sobre la adhesión al paro. "Lo que sucede es que hay empresas que tienen mayor recaudo y que no les importa detener o parar; ya que no se ven afectados por ahora por la delincuencia", cuenta el experto en seguridad. Este contextualiza que la delincuencia afecta ahora a los pequeños y medianos empresarios, pero que en el futuro llegará a tomar espacio "en aquellos sectores de transporte de gran escala que todavía se sienten un poco seguros". Por su parte, el ministro del Interior, Carlos Malaver, aseguró que ningún gremio formal acatará ningún paro en lo que resta de julio. Sin embargo, la Alianza Nacional de Transportistas ha comunicado que están considerando acatar un nuevo paro que se realizaría durante las Fiestas por la Independencia de Perú, los días 27 y 28 de julio.

A number of scholars and experts say they have never been more concerned about the state of international law. Also, the UK has prohibited institutions from paying ransomware hackers without consulting the government first. And, climate change, which is altering ecosystems around the world, also comes with a financial cost. Plus, the number of Indigenous evangelical churches in Ecuador is growing.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Send us a textWelcome to a captivating conversation with Alexa Aragon, the rising trail running star who's taken the mountain running scene by storm. With remarkable top-10 finishes at the Broken Arrow Sky Race, Sunapee Scramble, and most recently, a second-place finish at Cirque Series Snowbird, Alexa has quickly established herself as someone the trail running world needs to watch.What makes Alexa's story particularly fascinating is her unorthodox path. Unlike many elite trail runners, she balances her competitive pursuits with a full-time career as a middle school math teacher. Growing up in Montana in a family of runners (her parents literally met at a track meet!), Alexa excelled as a steeplechaser at Notre Dame before stepping away from competitive running to work in public health in Ecuador. It wasn't until moving to Utah's Wasatch Mountains that she rediscovered her competitive spirit through local trail races.Alexa shares her refreshingly unconventional approach to training - "It's a little chaotic, it's just kind of what I feel like and what makes me have fun." Without a coach or structured program, she runs 30-40 miles weekly, complemented by rock climbing and mountain biking. Her race strategy? "Full send and find out" - a fearless approach that's yielded impressive results against established professionals. We dig into her experiences at Broken Arrow, her mountaineering adventures (including a 42-hour attempt at the WURL), and her passion for introducing underrepresented youth to outdoor sports through her school's adventure club.Whether you're a competitive trail runner, weekend warrior, or simply love inspiring stories of people forging their own path, Alexa's journey demonstrates how making running truly your own can lead to unexpected success and genuine fulfillment. Follow along as she shares her experiences from hiding under rocks during thunderstorms to standing on podiums alongside the sport's biggest names.Follow Alexa on IG - @_lexi_aragonFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

Your whole life is governed by spin. The rotation of our planet tells you when to wake up, and Earth's orbit around the Sun is the reason why some of us dig out a jumper for half the year and a t-shirt for the rest. But what if that all changed? That's exactly what 8-year-old Geronimo in Ecuador wants to know. He and his dad, Fabian, have got themselves dizzy trying to figure out what would happen if the Earth stopped spinning, or better yet, started spinning in the opposite direction. Would everyone fly off into space? Would school be at night? Eager for answers, they decided to ask CrowdScience. Presenter Anand Jagatia embarks on an interstellar journey, blasting off with the celestial origins of spin itself. Astronomer Amy Bonsor from the University of Cambridge in the UK explains how Earth's rotation began, with collapsing clouds of gas, planetary pile-ups and crushing gravitational force. At Keele Observatory, things get apocalyptic. Anand meets astronomer Jacco van Loon, who explains what would happen if Geronimo somehow waved a magic wand and brought Earth's rotation to a halt. With months of unbroken daylight or darkness, devastating storms and even the loss of the Earth's magnetic shield, it's like the script of a disaster movie. Wave that magic wand again and we imagine a world where the Earth not only stops... but starts spinning the other way. Meteorologist Joao Basso from the University of Leipzig in Germany walks us through a mind-bending 2018 study that tells us the surprising things that would happen to the global climate.

John discusses Trump telling Texas Republicans to redraw their state congressional districts and make it so 5 Democratic seats vanish into a gerrymandered abyss. He also talks about House Republicans continuing to block efforts by democrats to force the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Then, he speaks with Professor Corey Brettschneider and they analyze the Trump administration's latest alarming moves, including mass firings at critical federal agencies like Education and State, and Trump's controversial threats to remove the Federal Reserve Chair. And finally, he interviews Cristina Jiménez. She's an award-winning community organizer and a leading voice in movements for social justice. She is Co-Founder and former Executive Director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the country. She came to the U.S from Ecuador in 1998 and grew up undocumented in Queens, N.Y. Cristina is a veteran organizer who helped lead the fight for DACA and resist family separation. Her new book, Dreaming of Home, was called “part memoir, part guide for community organizing” by The Washington Post.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
