In October 2012, the founding father of the European Space Agency was honoured when a spacecraft named after him was sent to the international space station. Within the probe – called the Edoardo Amaldi Automated Transfer Vehicle – was a letter which had been written by Edoardo in 1958 detailing his plans for an organisation which would bring together the continent's greatest minds in space science. It was in response to the brain drain Europe was facing in the years prior when its best scientists were flying off to work at NASA. His grandson, Andrea Amaldi, talks to Natasha Fernandes about the moment his grandfather's letter was sent into space and the role he played in translating it on behalf of the visionary behind the European Space Agency.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

To expect women and men of flesh and blood to live lives of ethical perfection is to expect too much. Lapses in judgment, ignorance, vice, and sin are inescapable parts of the human condition. Each year, on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, we recite the Al Het prayer, enumerating over 40 sins that we have committed. Sinning is natural, or, as the poet Alexander Pope famously put it, “to err is human, to forgive divine.” And there's a deep truth to that, for while error and vice are natural to the human condition, religion has introduced into the moral landscape the human imitation of God's compassion that releases us, and allows us to release one another, from the crushing burden of guilt and vice. That religious innovation is forgiveness, and it plays a central role in the ethical life of Jews and Christians. A society without forgiveness, in which moral stain can never be wiped away, in which no mechanism for absolution exists, is a society that will grow fearful, fragmented, feeble, and frail. A society that is properly calibrated to the inescapable truths of human sin, and also has an instrument that absolves the sinner and and enable him or her to rejoin society, is resilient. A few years ago, American was bound up in a spate of so-called cancellations in which public figures stood accused of some wrong action, wrong statement, or wrong thought, and were deemed unfit for employment or standing in society. And, in the progressive circles that led these efforts to purify the public arena, no apology would suffice. No cleansing was sufficient to remove the stain: once a bigot, always a bigot. It was around that time that a group of Jewish and Christian theologians began meeting to discuss the idea of forgiveness. Over the course of several years of study, reading, and discussion, a statement emerged. “Forgiveness: A Statement by Jews and Christians” was published in the February 2025 issue of First Things magazine. But of course, something of civilizational significance happened while this group convened, and that was the October 7 Hamas attacks, and the adulation of the attackers by American and European activists. In the face of such evil, could forgiveness be offered? Should it be? What are the limitations on forgiveness and what are the moral obligations on the part of the penitent seeking forgiveness? Two of the statement's signatories, Tikvah's chief education officer Rabbi Mark Gottlieb and the Villanova University professor Anna Moreland, join Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss these and related themes.

Ukraine is being carved up—again. This week, Trump and Putin are rumoured to be discussing Ukraine's future, and the Ukrainians aren't even invited to the table. This is about a world order being torn up and rewritten, where might is right and small nations; whether in Eastern Europe or the West of Ireland, are left to fend for themselves. Enter Conor McGregor, backed by MAGA kingmaker Steve Bannon and bankrolled by Elon Musk, McGregor's potential bid for the Irish presidency is no joke. It's part of the same global chaos strategy that has seen Trump cozy up to Putin and turn on America's allies. The playbook is simple: disrupt, distract, divide. In this episode, we speak to Ukrainian historian Olesya Khromeychuk about what's really happening behind closed doors in Washington and Moscow, why European leaders are scrambling, and what it means when small nations lose their voice. If you're not at the table, you're on the menu, and right now, Ukraine is the main course. Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

The recent reversals in the US dollar, US rates and US equities have been sharp and rapid. A growing sense that not all is well with the US consumer, as well as a shift in policy prioritization, favoring fiscal consolidation now in the name of expansion later, are largely to blame. At the same time, the European policy mix is looking far more supportive of European assets and the EUR than previously imagined. But how much of these relative reassessments are now in the price? And are there political elements that might extend the downtrend in the dollar even further? This week, Michael Metcalfe, global head of macro strategy at State Street Global Markets, joins the podcast to discuss all of these important themes and questions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US equity futures are higher after Wednesday's gains. European markets opened little changed, and Asian equities ended mixed. Markets reacted positively to a dovish-leaning Fed policy decision. The Fed kept rates unchanged and signaled greater uncertainty around the economic outlook, driven largely by ongoing tariff concerns. Although policymakers downgraded the US GDP growth outlook and raised inflation forecasts, Chair Powell indicated that tariff-driven inflation pressures may be temporary. The Fed also decided to slow the pace of quantitative tightening starting April 1st. Elsewhere, Ukraine's President Zelenskiy voiced support for a ceasefire focused on energy infrastructure during discussions with President Trump, with both sides agreeing to collaborate on air defense systems and Ukraine's electricity supply.Companies Mentioned: SoftBank, Ampere, Carlyle, Oracle, Beacon Roofing Supply, QXO, NVIDIA, Intel

In 1982, Randy Rhoads – a founding member of Quiet Riot and guitarist with Ozzy Osbourne, died in a plane crash. While he was only 25 at the time of his death, Rhoads was considered to be one of metal's most innovative musicians, who popularized a variety of techniques, including two-handed tapping and dive bombs. 1962, Bob Dylan‘s self-titled debut album was released in the US by Columbia Records.

Daily Dose of Hope March 20, 2025 Day 5 of Week 51 Scripture: Job 24-27; Revelation 17 Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that goes along with the Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida. Our Old Testament reading is from Job once again. I don't know about you, but this is really hard to read. Job is heartbroken and struggling with why the evil seem to prosper and God doesn't seem to provide any kind of punishment for those who do evil. Where is God's justice? He certainly hasn't experienced it. Job's friend answers him in chapter 25 saying that God is all-powerful. Nothing is good compared to God. I'll be honest. I'm not sure what his point is, except maybe to pour salt in Job's wounds. No one is righteous in God's eyes, according to this friend, and that includes Job. Our last chapter for today is Job's reply to this. Yes, God is bigger and more powerful than everything. He is in control of the universe and everything in it. There is no way we will understand why or how he does anything. What's amazing here is this – after all Job has gone through, after all his lament, he concludes that God is filled with wisdom and he simply has to trust because God is in control. The New Testament reading is Revelation 17. In this chapter, John is invited to witness the downfall of Babylon. He sees the image of a woman sitting on red beast with seven heads and ten horns. The woman, very seductively dressed, has a name written on her: Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes, and of the Abominations of the Earth. She slept with the kings of the world and was drunk with the blood of God's people. Babylon was a seductive society and a very powerful one. It conquered many of the nations around it and others were seduced by its influence and wealth. While the woman in the vision obviously represents Babylon, it goes so much deeper. How many Babylons have existed since then? How many great civilizations have risen to power, only to reject God and serve themselves? We could probably generate a pretty long list: the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, various European empires, maybe even the United States of America? Where do you see the evils of Babylon around you? How should we respond as God's people? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
The controversial anti-Semitism conference will take place next week in Jerusalem, organized by Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli . His decision to invite representatives of radical right-wing European parties sparked a backlash and sparked a wave of cancelations, including by European Jewish Congress President Ariel Muzicant and French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy and others. Chikli responded by saying: “I reject the assertion that the right-wing parties are the central threat to Jewish life in Europe. The threat is different: radical Islam. The politically correct have a hard time recognizing this and are stuck 50 years in the past.” KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with David Hirsh from Goldsmiths, University of London, the author of a number of books on anti-Semitism and one of those who withdrew from the conference.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cu ce rămâne presa europeană discuția de marți dintre Donald Trump și Vladimir Putin? Comentatorii consideră că liderul rus a obținut aproape tot ce a vrut, reușind să-l manipuleze inteligent pe liderul american. ”Putin joacă pentru a câștiga timp, iar Trump joacă alături de el”. Iată concluzia revistei germane Der Spiegel.”Liderul rus se abține de la atacuri asupra infrastructurii energetice ucrainene timp de 30 de zile. Aceasta este o mică concesie pentru a evita înstrăinarea lui Trump. De fapt, Putin vrea să continue războiul”.”Trump face exact ceea ce Rusia ar vrea să facă. Și nu este nimeni care să i se împotrivească”, titrează ziarul polonez Gazeta Wiborcza.”Putin îl va modela pe Donald Trump și, în același timp, va amâna încetarea focului. Pentru ca relațiile cu SUA să devină din ce în ce mai bune și, în același timp, să creeze impresia că lipsa unui armistițiu este vina Ucrainei”.Potrivit analizei ziarului Le Monde, în ce-l privește pe Donald Trump, cu cât trece timpul mai mult, cu atât promisiunile sale de rezolvare instantanee a conflictului se estompează”.În același timp,”chiar și la nivel simbolic, Casa Albă își trădează ardoarea pentru o apropiere de Kremlin. Donald Trump a susținut ideea lui Vladimir Putin de a organiza meciuri de hochei în Statele Unite și Rusia, se menționează în comunicatul Rusiei. Încălzirea relațiilor prin sport este un procedeu clasic al diplomației internaționale. Dar luarea în considerare a acestui instrument cu o țară vinovată de crime de război masive în Ucraina, când conflictul este departe de a fi încheiat, indică clar prioritățile Casei Albe”.Pentru Die Zeit, „Putin a reușit să-i ofere concesii minime lui Trump drept progres pe calea păcii”. Pentru președintele rus, „această convorbire a avut ca scop în primul rând să se elibereze de dilema pe care i-o pune oferta americano-ucraineană de încetare a focului fără condiții prealabile. Un răspuns pozitiv l-ar fi lipsit de influența militară asupra Ucrainei chiar înainte de începerea negocierilor de pace. Dar un „nu” clar ar fi putut să-l enerveze pe Trump, cu consecințe greu de prevăzut”. (Sursa: Courrier International).El Mundo este de părere că ”Putin, un agent veteran al KGB-ului, abil în a citi mințile rivalilor săi, a arătat că știe să-l manipuleze pe Trump, mascându-și ego-ul și jucându-se cu fleacuri imaginare precum „miile de soldați ucraineni care au fost salvați doar datorită lui Trump”.Analistul consultat de ziarul spaniol spune că "Putin îl ia ostatic pe Trump și își menține pozițiile maximaliste. Noul grup de lucru SUA-Rusia privind Ucraina continuă să țină Ucraina și Europa la dispoziția celor mari. Trump va vinde acest dezechilibru ca un succes, iar Putin va fi mulțumit”.Dar Europa? – întreabă Le Figaro, referindu-se la comunicatele de la Casa Albă și de la Kremlin.Ei bine, ”cuvântul nu este scris, nici în engleză, nici în rusă. „Liderii și-au confirmat intenția de a continua eforturile de a realiza o reglementare bilaterală”, au scris chiar rușii.
Jonatan reports on the latest developments in the Russia/Ukraine War, as European military leadership organizes "a Coalition of the Willing" to review concerns and resolution options, particularly as it pertains to management of the largest nuclear power resource in Europe - currently under control of the Russian military. President Trump has inserted himself into the conversation, offering to have the US "manage" the power plant, but European leadership does not see that as a viable solution.

Trump's recent meeting with Putin signals a major shift in global politics. The conversation focused on trade agreements and a potential ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war. It highlighted a new world order where powerful nations like Russia, China, and India shape global dynamics. Trump's approach emphasizes the reestablishment of US-Russia relations, with real significance in the broader geopolitical shift rather than just the war itself.--Visit https://sambrosa.com/discount/TURLEY and use code TURLEY to get your 25% Discount*If you wanna take advantage of this ECONOMIC BOOM click on the link https://neoscdg.org/golden-age-summit or scan the QR code and get registered!**The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.
