Pilots call them "Foo Fighters" and their mysterious presence would baffle militaries on both sides of the war.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

Polish immigrant Hershel Geguzin fled to the U.S. from the faltering Russian Empire at the turn of the 20th century. And like many scammers around this time, he adopts a fabulous new identity: as Prince Michael Romanoff, the last living member of the former Russian ruling family. Everyone knows the new prince is lying about his royal heritage, but he's such a good hang, he floats from party to party across the U.S. and Europe for decades. In the end, Prince Michael sets up shop in Hollywood, hosting mega-stars from Humphrey Bogart to Frank Sinatra. Prince Michael's story is the ultimate lesson in faking it until you make it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Trump has plans for securing peace after Israel launched a war with Iran. However, he's keeping them to himself. A lack of clarity on whether the U.S. will support Israel has created a divide amongst interventionist and isolationist wings of Trump supporters. Which direction will Trump's often-touted “America First” policy lead the U.S. in?The federal government's mass deportation efforts have expanded to work sites like farms, hotels, and restaurants. The business community has pushed back, calling for President Trump to relax deportation efforts on industries that rely on immigrant labor. Trump obliged those requests, but federal officials say they'll continue to enforce immigration law wherever possible. Will the president continue to try navigating the pitfalls of interior enforcement?Ten years ago this month, the country mourned a tragic act of racial violence in Charleston, South Carolina. As America reckons with another all too familiar occurrence, this time in Minnesota, KCRW discusses what has changed and what hasn't in America's political climate.

Nous commencerons par une conversation sur quelques sujets d'actualité. Tout d'abord, nous commenterons les évènements qui se sont déroulés aux États-Unis samedi dernier. La parade militaire à Washington et les manifestations « No Kings » qui ont eu lieu dans tout le pays ont fait débat. Nous poursuivrons en parlant de la mise en garde de l'Institut international de recherche sur la paix de Stockholm (SIPRI) : il a averti que l'ère du désarmement nucléaire pourrait être remplacée par une course aux armements. Dans notre section scientifique, nous nous intéresserons ensuite à une étude publiée dans la revue Current Biology. Elle a découvert que les schémas d'inspirations et d'expirations étaient propres à chaque individu et pourraient être utilisés pour les identifier. Et pour conclure la première partie de l'émission, nous évoquerons une nouvelle tendance : le temps de travail hebdomadaire diminue en Europe.   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue française et à la culture françaises. Le premier dialogue contiendra des exemples illustrant la leçon de la semaine : The Possessive Adjectives. Et dans notre dernière discussion, nos auditeurs verront comment utiliser l'expression française « prendre le taureau par les cornes ». - Malgré les manifestations, le président Trump organise le défilé militaire dont il rêvait - L'ère du désarmement nucléaire pourrait être remplacée par une course aux armements - Des scientifiques découvrent que l'homme a « une empreinte respiratoire » - Le temps de travail hebdomadaire a diminué en Europe - Les jeunes Français passent le bac - Vers l'interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans?

This week we speak with Professor Vladimiro Vida of U. Padua about a recent ECHSA large scale study assessing surgical outcomes of newborn cardiac surgery in Europe. What trends have become apparent in the past 10 years and why are outcomes generally better overall in this complex patient group? Why have outcomes for single ventricle surgery not improved as much as other newborn surgeries? Is there a relationship between center volume and outcomes? What interventions might result in improvements in outcomes of Norwood palliation? Dr. Vida provides his insights this week. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.07.023

What's the ultimate dream outcome for every small business owner? In this episode, Bradley breaks down why he believes every entrepreneur should be working toward a profitable, million-dollar-plus business that runs and grows without them - and challenges you to define what YOUR specific dream outcome looks like.Key TakeawaysThe Dream Outcome FrameworkA profitable, million-dollar-plus business that runs and grows without you1. ProfitableMinimum threshold: 10% net profit.Target range: 25% net profitability.Growth strategy: Some businesses can scale to 30% over 5 years (1% improvement annually).Why it matters: Profitability funds reinvestment for future growth (hiring, marketing, equipment, facilities).Key insight: "Profitability is a prerequisite for growth" - Craig Groeschel.2. Million-Dollar MarkThe reality: 91% of businesses never cross $1M in top-line revenue.Business survival: 96% don't see their 10th birthday.The advantage: Once you hit $1M, scaling to $2M happens in 25% of the time it took to reach the first million.Financial freedom: $1M business at 25% profit = $250K + your salary.3. Runs and Grows Without YouFoundation: Must run on an operating system outside of you.Test: Can you take a month-long trip to Europe without being tied to the business?Ultimate goal: Business doesn't just maintain - it actually grows while you're away.Critical Business InsightsThe Entrepreneurial Myth (E-Myth)Being great at your craft ≠ being great at business ownership.Examples: Great insurance agent ≠ great agency owner.The shift: Learn to be a business owner first, then you can master the technical side.The North Star ConceptYour dream outcome is something you navigate by, not necessarily to.Use it as directional guidance for decision-making.Break it down: 3-year goals → 1-year goals → 90-day actions.Goal Setting FrameworkDefine your ultimate dream outcome.Set 3-year targets.Plan this year's objectives.Focus on next 90 days.BONUS: We are working through this LIVE on June 24th, 2025 at 10 AM CST and you can join us when you register at https://intensive.blueprintos.comReflection QuestionsWhat's YOUR specific dream outcome?Is it a revenue number?

Cryptocurrency holdings are not protected by the FDIC or SIPC.A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The 7%+ yield is the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of 5/15/2025. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond's YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our ⁠Fee Schedule⁠. *⁠Terms and Conditions⁠ apply.

The Trump administration has imposed new sanctions on Iran, targeting the regime's weapons programs. This comes as Israel and Iran continue to exchange deadly strikes, now a week into their conflict. A European delegation is holding talks with an Iranian official today, but President Donald Trump says Iran is actually seeking to engage with the United States, not Europe.A federal judge today ordered the release of pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil from immigration detention. The Trump administration has sought to deport him over his role in protests at Columbia University. He was detained on March 8.Meanwhile, a court has upheld Trump's use of the California National Guard in response to the riots in Los Angeles. As part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to crack down on illegal immigration, Vice President J.D. Vance is in Los Angeles today meeting with Marines and federal officers.

Will he? Won't he? President Donald Trump has given little indication as to whether America will join in the conflict between Israel and Iran. So where does this leave the UK and its assets in the region? How does the prime minister play his hand with the president, and what does that mean for his relationship with his own party, especially given Labour's track record? Host George Parker is joined by the FT's Middle East editor Andrew England, alongside regular guests Robert Shrimsley and Miranda Green, to discuss Sir Keir Starmer's options.

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former Pentagon Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, former Pentagon comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss Reconciliation and Senate rescissions as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee; two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot and two are killed; Israel and Iran continue to trade attacks as Jerusalem presses ahead its drive to destroy Tehran's nuclear capabilities through air attacks and troops on the ground; after initially demanding Iran's “unconditional surrender,” President Trump has said he's given Iranian leaders an “ultimate ultimatum” to give up its nuclear aspirations while still weighing whether US forces should join Israel in strike; America is the only nation with the capabilities to bomb Iran's deeply buried sites, but doing so might cause nuclear contamination; at the G7 meeting in Canada, Trump again sided with Russia as leaders prepare to converge on The Hague for what will be an abbreviated NATO summit during which the US president is expected to announce the withdrawal of some American troops from Europe; the US Indo-Pacific Command raises its threat level as two Chinese aircraft carriers operate together in the South China Sea; as Britain's HMS Prince of Wales also is operating in the region; and the president cleaned the acquisition of US Steel by Nippon Steel after demanding the US government hold a “golden share” in the new entity.

Day 1,212.Today, as we pass 100 days since Ukraine unconditionally accepted the US peace proposal for a total cease fire, we report how Russia continues to kill civilians across the country.

And we hear a number of voices from our recent trip to Odesa in southern Ukraine.
