Historian Leigh Straw describes one pivotal summer in the life of the Kennedy family. With most of the family in their Cape Cod summer home, the summer of 1944 was marked by personal grief and political legacy. As eldest son Joe Jr flew dangerous missions in the Second World War's European theatre, and Kathleen 'Kick' Kennedy scandalised her parents with an aristocratic English match, the family gathered under the looming shadow of tragedy. Talking to Elinor Evans, Straw explores how this fateful summer reshaped the ambitions of younger brother Jack and steered the family's destiny towards the White House. (Ad) Leigh Straw is the author of The Kennedys at Cape Cod, 1944: The Summer That Changed Everything (Bloomsbury, 2025).

Durante algunos años, Imanol visitó a una doctora para tratar su vitiligo. Iba acompañado de su papá, que estaba un poco obsesionado con encontrar un tratamiento eficaz para su hijo. Él nunca entendió esa obsesión, porque esos cambios en la piel no le importaban demasiado, hasta que al llegar la adolescencia sí tomaron otro significado.

From an inexplicable force that turned a woman to ashes in her farmhouse, to strange phenomena that transformed a quiet English town into a UFO hotspot, these chilling Christmas mysteries continue to baffle investigators and haunt communities long after the holiday decorations were packed away.IN THIS EPISODE: A nurse was found dead in her bed - and her boyfriend and his nine-year-old son vanished, leaving behind only a truck full of bloodstained presents. (Christmas Murder in Lockhart) *** A little girl vanishes on a winter road trip to Las Vegas, and twenty Christmases later, a detective's search for answers leads to a desperate couple's final confession - but not to the truth about what really happened to two-year-old Nikole Betterson. (Nikole's Christmas Farewell) *** Behind one of the most beloved Christmas poems ever written lies a centuries-old mystery: was "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" penned by a scholarly professor for his children, or did someone else create the story that shaped how we see Santa Claus? (‘Twas The Mystery Before Christmas) *** When Patty Vaughan left her home on Christmas Day 1996, she left behind three children and a trail of mysterious clues - including an abandoned van, suspicious blood stains, and a red work uniform that would puzzle investigators for decades to come. (The Patty Vaughan Vanishing) *** When farmhand John Larson awoke to find soot on his pillow on Christmas morning 1885, he never imagined he'd discover his employer Patrick Rooney dead from smoke inhalation and his wife Matilda mysteriously burned to ash in a perfectly circular hole in their kitchen floor - with no other fire damage to the house. (Matilda Rooney's Christmas Combustion) *** In the quiet town of New London, Connecticut, what began as a simple flat tire on Christmas Eve 1973 turned into one of the community's darkest mysteries when twenty-year-old Kevin Showalter was struck and killed by a driver who vanished into the night - leaving behind a grieving mother, whispers of a cover-up, and questions that would haunt the town for decades. (The Hit And Run Death of Kevin Showalter) *** A teenage girl's first office Christmas party should have been a celebration of new beginnings, but for Rhonda Hinson, it became her last night alive - and the start of a mystery that would puzzle investigators for over forty years.

(The Tracy Mertens Mystery) *** On Christmas morning 1964, the quiet town of Warminster, England woke up to strange sounds that would mark the beginning of one of history's most puzzling mysteries - a series of unexplained events that would become known worldwide as 'The Thing.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 9, 2025 is: paltry • PAWL-tree • adjective Paltry is a formal word that can describe something that is very small or too small in amount, or something that has little meaning, importance, or worth. // They're offering a paltry salary for the position. // The professor announced they'd finally had enough of the students' paltry excuses for being late to class. See the entry > Examples: "When the witty and wry English fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett interviewed Bill Gates for GQ in 1995, only 39% of Americans had access to a home computer. According to the Pew Research Center, the number who were connected to the internet was a paltry 14%." — Ed Simon, LitHub.com, 25 Nov. 2024 Did you know? Before paltry was an adjective, it was a noun meaning trash. That now-obsolete noun came from palt or pelt, a dialect term referring to a piece of coarse cloth, or more broadly, to trash. The adjective paltry, which dates to the mid-16th century, originally described things considered worthless, or of very low quality, but it's gained a number of meanings over the centuries, none of which are complimentary. A paltry house might be neglected and unfit for occupancy; a paltry trick is a trick that is low-down and dirty; a paltry excuse is a poor one; and a paltry sum is small and insufficient.

Pastor Tim and Andrew Henry discuss Helen Andrews' article "The Great Feminization," in which she presents this thesis: "Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently."Is she right? Has God made men and women different? Does His Word clearly define the differences? Has the church been faithful to uphold His Word as our standard?The episode concludes with a discussion of the feminization and bowdlerization of English translations of Scripture.Also mentioned:Carol Gilligan's In a Different Voice (1982)Andrew Jackson, speaking of Marshall's opinion in Worcester v.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 8, 2025 is: bravado • bruh-VAH-doh • noun Bravado refers to confident or brave talk or behavior that is intended to impress other people. // She tells the stories of her youthful exploits with enough bravado to invite suspicion that they're embellished a bit. // The crew of climbers scaled the mountain with youthful bravado. See the entry > Examples: "One problem that exists in the whitewater community overall is that people don't always understand the basic elements associated with water and their ignorance and bravado often lead to an incident where someone gets injured or killed." — Tracy Hines, The Durango (Colorado) Herald, 19 Oct. 2025 Did you know? Displays of bravado may be show-offish, daring, reckless, and inconsistent with good sense—take, for example, the spectacular feats of stuntpeople—but when successful, they are still likely to be met with shouts of "bravo!" Celebrities, political leaders, corporate giants, and schoolyard bullies, however, may show a different flavor of bravado: one that suggests an overbearing boldness that comes from arrogance or from being in a position of power. The word bravado originally comes from the Italian adjective bravo, meaning "wild" or "courageous," which English can also thank for the more common brave.

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sit down with my friend Victor Damasio, one of Brazil's top expert entrepreneurs, to unpack how he built a multi-million dollar business by doing the right things for a long time and serving people deeply before chasing scale.  Victor is now rebuilding in the United States and Spanish speaking markets, and what makes his story so powerful is that his process works at every level. Whether he had no audience, a small group of early believers, or a huge following in Brazil, he grew by creating real conversations, helping people get results, and earning loyalty through service. If you want to know how to build something meaningful without shortcuts, this episode is a masterclass. Key Highlights: ◼️How Victor built his early business by doing the right thing consistently until results compounded ◼️The simple process he still uses today: start conversations, understand the person, help them solve something small, then guide them to the right offer ◼️Why he has clients who have stayed with him for more than a decade and how long term service became his most powerful growth engine ◼️His formula for building momentum in a new language and new country by applying the same relationship based approach that worked in Brazil Victor's story shows that the most sustainable expert businesses are built on service, patience, and consistent action. His method works in any market because it is human. You begin with a real conversation, create a win, build trust, and only then extend an offer that truly helps the person in front of you.  These principles helped him build a multi-year mastermind in Brazil and now guide him as he starts again in English and Spanish. If you want to follow his journey or connect with him directly, you can find him on Instagram at @victordamasio and you'll hear from him PERSONALLY! ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

This week, Jannese is joined by Victor Zeledón (@ourjourneywithless) a husband, dad, and Airbnb mentor who proves you don't need six figures, a trust fund, or a fancy investing background to build wealth through real estate.Victor started with what most of us already have: a home, two extra rooms, and a need to build an emergency fund. Fast forward seven years and those two rooms turned into five cash-flowing rentals, a fully retired wife, homes in multiple states, and a roadmap to financial freedom.This convo is packed with gems, game-changing strategies, and the kind of transparency that our comunidad NEEDS to hear — because real estate is not “just for other people.” It's for us, too.What We Get Into04:30 — Who's actually renting rooms on Airbnb? (It's not who you think!)05:50 — How they scaled from 1 room to 5 properties.06:40 — The real talk on hosting strangers: Safety, locks, boundaries, and vibes.08:15 — Airbnb vs. traditional renting: Why Airbnb was the wealth-building accelerator.09:20 — The Airbnb landscape in 2025: Regulations, fees, and why boring listings get no love.13:00 — Wild host lessons: What every new host should prepare for (yes, including tias who leave surprises).14:30 — Emergency funds + financial safety nets: How to protect your pockets.16:20 — Is Airbnb still worth it today? Victor breaks it down.17:30 — Why they bought in Waco & Tulsa: Out-of-state investing made simple.19:10 — How they bought a house in Tulsa with $0 out-of-pocket.20:40 — How to manage rentals remotely without losing your mind.24:00 — The family vision: From paying off debt → replacing his wife's income → full financial freedom.26:00 — How Victor mentors new Airbnb hosts for FREE through the Airbnb Ambassador Program.Top TakeawaysStart where you are.

It seems we've all become sort of amateur therapists these days, haven't we? And while it's fantastic that mental health is discussed more openly, there's a catch: these powerful words https://adeptenglish.com/language-courses/500-most-common-words-course/ can lose their impact when used carelessly.Free Transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-psychology-terms-everyday-conversation/In today's podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/7ixeOS7ezPTZSaISIx2TTw we'll explore this linguistic phenomenon, how psychological terminology has leapt from the therapist's office into everyday English.

Aquí un capítulo de mi otro podcast, que se llama Spain to Go y que habla de la vida en España. Hoy, hablo (en inglés, por cierto) de tradiciones navideñas en España. Más en la web: https://aprendemasingles.com/398

Adria Sheri English, a former go-go dancer, has made serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming that she was forced to participate in sexual activities at his infamous "freak-off" parties. English, who has filed a lawsuit against Diddy, also revealed a list of high-profile celebrities she saw at these gatherings. Among the notable figures she claims were present are Donald Trump, Diana Ross (with her underage son Evan), Paris Hilton, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, and Reverend Al Sharpton. English expressed surprise at seeing some of these individuals, particularly Reverend Al Sharpton, at such controversial events.English alleges that while these celebrities attended the main parties, the "freak-offs" took place in secluded rooms away from the main events, suggesting that many of the partygoers may not have been aware of the more sinister activities happening behind closed doors. English also claimed that Diddy secretly recorded these encounters for potential blackmail purposes, further complicating the accusations against him.Courtney Burgess, a witness in the federal investigation against Sean "Diddy" Combs, testified before a grand jury that he possesses 11 flash drives containing sex tapes allegedly involving Combs and eight celebrities, including two to three minors. Burgess claimed these tapes were provided to him by Combs' ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, before her death in 2018. He described the individuals in the tapes as appearing inebriated and suggested they were victims of Combs' actions..Additionally, Burgess stated that he has seen an unedited version of a memoir written by Porter, which contains detailed accounts of Combs' alleged physical and sexual violence. He mentioned that he was contacted by agents from the Department of Homeland Security and later subpoenaed by a federal grand jury to provide all relevant electronic devices. Burgess's testimony adds to the mounting allegations against Combs, who is currently facing charges including sex trafficking and racketeering.Also...During a recent interagency operation at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, authorities seized drugs, homemade weapons, and electronic devices. The operation, involving the Bureau of Prisons, the Justice Department's inspector general, and other law enforcement agencies, aimed to address safety and security concerns within the facility. Officials stated that the sweep was part of a broader initiative and not in response to any specific threat or individual, including current detainee Sean "Diddy" Combs.The raid calls into question the point of the OIG report into Jeffrey Epstein's death, considering how many of the same issues are still present, even after the BOP was made aware of the issues.  to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

He tells his daughter, Hero, that a distinguished young soldier named Claudio is accompanying the prince. Leonato's niece, Beatrice, asks about a soldier named Benedick, with whom she has some history. Don Pedro arrives and steps off his ship with his brother, Don John, whose past transgressions he's recently forgiven. Benedick and Claudio step off the ship with Borachio, who has a quick aside with his old flame, Margaret, Beatrice's trusted servant. Beatrice and Benedick sling a few quick insults at each other before Don Pedro tells his soldiers that Leonato has invited them to stay for a month at his villa. As they leave the port, Claudio confides in Benedick that he's in love with Hero. Benedick tells Don Pedro, who encourages the match. In the limousine on the way to Leonato's villa, Don Pedro offers to help Claudio woo Hero at the upcoming masquerade ball. A few minutes later, in the kitchen of the villa where a feast is being prepared, Leonato's sister, Antonia, tells him that her dresser told her that her driver overheard Don Pedro telling Claudio that he loves Hero. That evening, Don John broods in a guest house as his friend, Conrade, tries to cheer him up. When the drunken Borachio arrives to say he heard Don Pedro talking to Claudio about how to woo Hero, Don John seizes the opportunity to make some mischief.

Send us a textSarah Kapnick literally trained under John Nash at Princeton, went from structuring catastrophe bonds at Goldman during Hurricane Katrina, to serving as Chief Scientist at NOAA, and is now Global Head of Climate Advisory at JPMorgan. She's part mathematician, part climate scientist, part Wall Street insider – and the godmother of The Wall Street Skinny, the person who first convinced Jen to go into finance. This interview has been two and a half years in the making, and it's easily one of the most full-circle, “how is this one person real?” conversations we've ever had.We get into the math of predicting the future: how fluid dynamics and game theory show up in Black-Scholes, what “1-in-100 year events” actually mean over a 30-year mortgage, and why climate risk isn't a political side quest but a massive driver of returns, insurance pricing, and portfolio construction. Sarah explains cat bonds in plain English, walks through physical vs. transition risk, and connects wildfires, hurricanes, nuclear, fusion, and geothermal to the way capital is being allocated right now. If you care about making or losing money over the next few decades, this is not optional listening.We also talk mentorship, careers, and what it looks like to build a non-linear, insanely high-impact path across science, government, and Wall Street while raising a young family. Sarah shares how she decides when to leave a prestigious job, what she tells the next generation of math and science nerds curious about finance, and how she translates hardcore climate science for CEOs, investors, and ultra-high-net-worth clients. Even if you think “climate isn't for me,” this episode will change how you think about risk, opportunity, and the future.Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and how its force is foundational and can empower us to navigate our chaotic world In this timely new book in Beacon's successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today's climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall sheds light on known and forgotten movements and their unsung leaders, revealing how protest has shaped our nation and remains a vital force for change today. Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, memoir, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States (Beacon Press, 2026) gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those stories include those of: Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali who refused to be inducted into the US military during the Vietnam era and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018. Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that dissent is always meaningful and impactful. In fact, reading this book is an act of protest.

A massive capacity glut is forcing established fleets like James R. Smith Trucking to close their doors. We also look at the sudden collapse of two Minnesota carriers, MinStar Transport and Transport Design Inc., which left 200 drivers out of work overnight. As legitimate capacity folds, the industry is becoming a regulatory "hellscape" where loopholes allow minimally trained drivers to replace compliant operators. We discuss how these unchecked market dynamics have contributed to a 40% rise in fatal truck crashes and a surge in cargo theft. State authorities are stepping up enforcement, with Mississippi referring illegal truckers to ICE after identifying drivers violating English proficiency and license standards. This segment highlights the growing push to close federal loopholes that have allowed non-domiciled CDL abuse to flourish. In the financial sector, we analyze the widening performance gap as RXO receives a negative outlook from S&P Global while competitor C.H. Robinson sees its credit rating upgraded. The discussion breaks down the sharp contrast in debt ratios and stock market performance between these two brokerage giants. We also report on the sentencing of an Ohio trucking operator to 30 months in prison for a decades-long tax evasion scheme involving shadow companies.
