Podcasts about Fez

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we comment on ten years of doing this podcast. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Note: we recorded our first podcast on Feb 26th, 2016. This episode reflects that date. At the time, we actually banked a few episodes, and decided to hold off a week to do that. We never banked an episode again :)   Issues covered: ten years of podcasting, counting series and games, what kind of gamer are you?, balance in all things, the types of games Brett went deep on, games that exemplify Tim's games, first-person shooters and third-person action adventure, earliest games we played, latest game we played, surprise moments, the butter knife returns, knucklehead stealth, crazy world-altering moments, singing reviews, our longest series, how many interviews, the backstory of Daedalus, cultural sensibility, a grotty fish stew, staying under the radar, cramming features in at the end, pitching vs shipping, how many community episodes we've had, having a community game server, the charity event, getting to understand streaming, praying at the shrine of humility, more than 500 hours of podcasts, keys that aren't keys, the team makes the game, tell them less so they can discover more, the importance of constraints, mortality, letting the player choose, how long are we going to keep this up, knowing when to end, a little thanks each way, fueling us.  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: June, Infinite Backlog, The Evil Within, Resident Evil, Trespasser, Ultima (series), Souls-likes, Bloodborne, MYST (series), Obduction, Cyan, Eye of the Beholder, Might and Magic (series), Kaeon, Kingdom Hearts, Arkham Asylum (series), Halo (series), Shadow of the Colossus, Legend of Zelda (series), Portal, Deus Ex, Thief, Dishonored, Prey, Colossal Cave Adventure, Adventure, Rogue, Fez, Dwarf Fortress, Plundered Hearts, Final Fantasy Tactics, Apocalypse Now, Shenmue, Deadly Premonition, Morrowind, Hitman (series), Clint Hocking, Splinter Cell, Spelunky, Fez, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Metal Gear Solid, Calamity Nolan, Final Fantasy (series), Sebastian Deken, Lani Lum, SW: Republic Commando, Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, Randy Smith, Greg LoPiccolo,  Sean Vesce, Zack Norman, Janos Flosser, Sam Lake, Ken Levine, Borut Pfifer, Julian Gollop, Fallout, X-COM: Enemy Unknown, Star Wars: Starfighter, Andrew Kirmse, Daron Stinnett, Darren Johnson, Reed Knight, Kim Swift, BioStats, Minecraft, LostLake, Mors, mysterydip, Defeating Games for Charity, Video Game History Foundation, Eternal Darkness, Shigeru Miyamoto, Brad Furminger, Marcus Aurelius, "Jenny," Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  TTDS: 11:15 Next time: TBA!

Las vicisitudes del reinado de Mohamed V.Muhammed V de Granada (Granada, 4 de enero de 1339-ibid., 16 de enero de 1391) fue el octavo soberano nazarí de Granada entre 1354 y 1359, hasta que fue derrocado por los partidarios de su hermano Ismaíl II y, tras permanecer exiliado en la capital del Sultanato benimerín en Fez, consiguió recuperar el trono en 1362, en un segundo gobierno fructífero de tres décadas hasta su fallecimiento en 1391.

Cláudio Ramos é uma estrela televisiva que tinha tido para não o ser. Fez tudo ao contrário do que vem nos livros, mas ganhou estatuto e continua a ser um rebelde incómodo e solitário.

Filho de um casal de imigrantes romenos, ele nasceu em São Paulo, onde praticou natação e jiu-jitsu. Ainda criança, mudou-se para Brasília, onde conheceu uma cidade descomplicada, que favorecia quem gostava de gastar energia. Praticou judô e andava livremente de bicicleta pela capital. Na adolescência, o esporte ocupava quase todo o espaço disponível. Aos 13 anos de idade, pedalou pela primeira vez os 63 km da Volta ao Lago Paranoá com alguns amigos. A escola seguia em paralelo, mas era extravasando energia que ele encontrava o seu equilíbrio. Na juventude, intensificou sua relação com modalidades como a vela, o mergulho, a pesca subaquática, a musculação e corrida. Atendendo às expectativas dos pais, entrou na faculdade de Economia, até que a mãe da sua namorada à época, percebendo sua paixão pelos esportes, sugeriu que ele mudasse para a Educação Física. Fez sua cabeça e, no dia em que contaria aos pais a sua decisão, sofreu um grave acidente de moto. Fraturas múltiplas, cirurgias, perda temporária de movimentos e um longo período de recuperação. Durante esse período, assistiu pela televisão à chegada do Ironman do Havaí de 1982, quando Julie Moss, exausta, se arrastou até cruzar a linha. A cena, que se tornaria um marco da história do Ironman, lhe serviu como motivação e referência concreta de persistência. Preparou-se o melhor que pôde para o teste de aptidão física e ingressou no curso de Educação Física, aos 27 anos. Ainda durante a graduação, começou a atuar como treinador de triatletas e ciclistas. Fundou, em 1984, a academia CORPO – Centro de Orientação e Reeducação Psicomotriz e Orgânica, uma das primeiras iniciativas em Brasília a aplicar condicionamento físico sistemático com embasamento científico. No mesmo ano, organizou o primeiro triathlon realizado na capital federal e, no ano seguinte, o Triathlon do Jubileu de Prata de Brasília, o primeiro da América do Sul reconhecido pela Federação Internacional. A partir daí, sua trajetória se confunde com a formação do triathlon brasileiro. Além de organizador de provas e treinador, atuou como dirigente, árbitro e formulador técnico em um momento em que quase tudo ainda precisava ser criado. Atuou na estruturação da Federação Brasiliense e participou diretamente da fundação da Confederação Brasileira de Triathlon, onde foi diretor técnico, superintendente do departamento técnico e responsável por manuais operacionais e de regras. Nesse período, integrou comissões técnicas da Confederação Pan-americana e da União Internacional de Triathlon, foi delegado técnico e árbitro em etapas de Copa do Mundo, Campeonatos Pan-americanos e Mundiais, além de representar o continente americano em instâncias internacionais da modalidade. Como treinador da seleção brasileira, esteve presente em competições decisivas para a consolidação do triathlon de alto rendimento no país e trabalhou diretamente com atletas centrais da modalidade, entre eles Leandro Macedo, que viria a se tornar o triatleta brasileiro mais bem-sucedido da história. Paralelamente, construiu uma trajetória acadêmica consistente. Foi professor universitário, aprovado em concurso público, estruturou laboratórios, coordenou avaliações fisiológicas e assumiu a chefia do Departamento Biomédico da Universidade Católica de Brasília. Liderou a implantação de bases para programas de pós-graduação e conduziu a instituição a ser reconhecida como centro de excelência esportiva, em um período em que ciência aplicada e esporte de rendimento ainda raramente caminhavam juntos. Conosco aqui, o professor de Educação Física com doutorado em Fisiologia do Exercício pela Universidade do Novo México, pesquisador, cientista e empreendedor, um dos nomes fundamentais que ajudou a estruturar e estabelecer o triathlon em solo brasileiro, treinador da seleção brasileira nas quatro primeiras edições do Campeonato Mundial de Triathlon, um remador nas horas vagas e um hiperativo aposentado que segue se adaptando para continuar em movimento, o paulistano Roberto Landwehr.

What a coup! A quick chat with Disasterpeace ahead! Yes, the very artist that redefined the electronic melting pot that horror film soundtracks this century would hang their machete's upon. He is with us here today to discus his work on 'It Follows' and 'Bodies, Bodies, Bodies' plus the film that he has chosen to focus on is one of those children's gateways into fear... From 1993 we dip our toes into 'The Sandlot'.DISASTERPEACE

devocional Efésios As mulheres obedeçam aos seus maridos como ao Senhor. Pois assim como Cristo é cabeça para a igreja, também o marido o é para a mulher. Cristo é o salvador do corpo, que é a igreja. Ora, assim como a igreja obedece a Cristo, também as mulheres devem obedecer em tudo aos seus maridos. Os maridos devem amar as suas mulheres como também Cristo amou a igreja e deu a sua vida por ela. Fez isto para a santificar e purificar lavando-a com a água da sua palavra. Quis assim preparar a igreja para ser a sua esposa cheia de beleza, sem mancha nem defeito ou coisa semelhante, mas santa e sem pecado. É desse modo que o marido deve amar a sua mulher, como se ela fosse o seu próprio corpo. Quem ama a sua mulher ama-se a si mesmo. Ora, ninguém despreza o seu próprio corpo. Muito pelo contrário, alimenta-o e rodeia-o de todos os cuidados, assim como Cristo faz com a igreja. E todos nós fazemos parte do seu corpo. Como diz a Sagrada Escritura: O homem deixará o seu pai e a sua mãe para viver com a sua mulher e os dois se tornarão um só corpo. Há aqui um grande mistério. É que isto realiza-se plenamente no amor que Cristo tem pela igreja. Mas deve realizar-se também em vós. Por isso o marido ame a sua mulher como a si mesmo, e a mulher respeite o seu marido. Efésios 5:22-33 É imperativo que o princípio do temor a Deus conduza à sujeição recíproca no seio familiar. Olhando para Cristo, cada cônjuge é desafiado a entregar-se sem reservas ao seu par. Tomando Jesus como referencial, não há que recear qualquer tipo de abuso ou extrapolação de poder. A fidelidade mescla-se de tal maneira com o amor que se torna em chão gracioso para o casamento. A tirania do controlo é rechaçada, privilegiando-se a solicitude. A sensibilidade de Cristo é expressa nos actos de cuidado mútuo. Mulher e homem, nas suas assumidas diferenças, tratando-se com a dignidade que Deus igualmente lhes confere. Amando-se até à exaustão. Dispostos, sob a capa da dignidade, a tudo o que honre o companheiro e engrandeça Deus. Contribuindo em sintonia para o refinamento do parceiro. Um e outro, com as mãos e as mentes entrelaçadas, experienciando a harmonia desenhada por Deus: “E serão dois numa carne.” Renunciando ao egoísmo para dar lugar ao altruísmo, dando, assim, passos intencionais rumo à maturidade. - Jónatas Figueiredo Oramos para que este tempo com Deus te encoraje e inspire. Dá a ti próprio espaço para processar as tuas notas e a tua oração e sai apenas quando te sentires preparado.

"Fez-se silêncio no céu cerca de meia hora". Por que o louvor incessante parou? O que acontece quando o céu se cala para ouvir a terra?Neste episódio da Segunda Temporada da série Apocalipse, o Pr. Guilherme de Carvalho explora o capítulo 8. Descubra o significado do silêncio do Sétimo Selo e como as orações dos santos desencadeiam a ação de Deus na história. Entenda as quatro primeiras trombetas não apenas como destruição, mas como avisos divinos e um processo de "des-criação" que chama o homem ao arrependimento.Gostou deste episódio?

Naquele tempo, 14 o rei Herodes ouviu falar de Jesus, cujo nome se tinha tornado muito conhecido. Alguns diziam: "João Batista ressuscitou dos mortos. Por isso os poderes agem nesse homem". 15 Outros diziam: "É Elias". Outros ainda diziam: "É um profeta como um dos profetas". 16 Ouvindo isto, Herodes disse: "Ele é João Batista. Eu mandei cortar a cabeça dele, mas ele ressuscitou!" 17 Herodes tinha mandado prender João, e colocá-lo acorrentado na prisão. Fez isso por causa de Herodíades, mulher do seu irmão Filipe, com quem se tinha casado. 18 João dizia a Herodes: "Não te é permitido ficar com a mulher do teu irmão". 19 Por isso Herodíades o odiava e queria matá-lo, mas não podia. 20 Com efeito, Herodes tinha medo de João, pois sabia que ele era justo e santo, e por isso o protegia. Gostava de ouvi-lo, embora ficasse embaraçado quando o escutava. 21 Finalmente, chegou o dia oportuno. Era o aniversário de Herodes, e ele fez um grande banquete para os grandes da corte, os oficiais e os cidadãos importantes da Galileia. 22 A filha de Herodíades entrou e dançou, agradando a Herodes e seus convidados. Então o rei disse à moça: "Pede-me o que quiseres e eu to darei". 23 E lhe jurou dizendo: "Eu te darei qualquer coisa que me pedires, ainda que seja a metade do meu reino". 24 Ela saiu e perguntou à mãe: "O que vou pedir?" A mãe respondeu: "A cabeça de João Batista". 25 E, voltando depressa para junto do rei, pediu: "Quero que me dês agora, num prato, a cabeça de João Batista". 26 O rei ficou muito triste, mas não pôde recusar. Ele tinha feito o juramento diante dos convidados. 27 Imediatamente, o rei mandou que um soldado fosse buscar a cabeça de João. O soldado saiu, degolou-o na prisão, 28 trouxe a cabeça num prato e a deu à moça. Ela a entregou à sua mãe. 29 Ao saberem disso, os discípulos de João foram lá, levaram o cadáver e o sepultaram.

Luis Herrero y Kelu Robles viajan a la ciudad del noreste de Marruecos.

Fez parte da Resistência Francesa, foi ferido em combate durante a II Guerra Mundial, viveu toda a vida no mesmo quarto onde nasceu e teve três mulheres ao mesmo tempo. Sabe de quem estamos a falar?

Minha mãe cortava o frango, picava os ovos e passava manteiga no pão com a mesma faca. Na mesma tábua. Sem água sanitária para cada tarefa. E sabe o que aconteceu?Nada.Eu não lembro de ter tido intoxicação alimentar uma vez sequer.Todo domingo era "frango com batata frita".Não precisava de grandes banquetes pra ter refeição em família.Eram nossas tradições. Simples. Mas preciosas.Nosso lanche da escola ia embrulhado em saquinho de pão.Não tinha lancheira térmica. Não tinha compartimento refrigerado.E o lanche? Pão com manteiga.Surpreendentemente, nenhuma bactéria nos derrubou.No verão, a gente mergulhava em rio, lago, praia.Ninguém sonhava em pagar pra se espremer numa piscina cheia de cloro.As praias nunca fechavam.E a gente nadava sem medo.Na escola, fazíamos educação física com tênis simples.Sem amortecedor. Sem tecnologia de mil reais.A gente caía? Sim. E levantava.E aquelas quedas viravam histórias.Fez algo errado? Levava castigo.Isso se chamava disciplina.E a gente cresceu respeitando regras e honrando os mais velhos.Éramos às vezes cinquenta por sala.E mesmo assim, todo mundo aprendeu a ler, escrever e fazer conta.Tabuada? A gente sabia de cor.Dever de casa? Fazia à noite, na mesa da cozinha.E conseguíamos escrever uma carta sem erro de português.No meio do ano, tinha festa junina.Bolo feito pelas mães. Rifa. Quadro de honra com os nomes dos melhores alunos.Que orgulho!Não importava de onde a gente vinha.Cantávamos o hino nacional juntos. Respeitávamos a bandeira.E ninguém achava isso opressão.A gente brincava na rua até os pais chamarem.E eles sempre sabiam onde a gente tava.Porque todo mundo se conhecia. Todo mundo cuidava.E sim, dava pra andar na rua de noite sem medo.Picada de abelha? Não ia pro hospital. Não tomava antibiótico.Era iodo, alho ou vinagre. E passava.Como a gente sobreviveu?Talvez justamente por causa dessa simplicidade.Amor a todos que viveram essa época.E aos que não viveram...Sinto muito pelo que vocês perderam.Porque hoje:O lanche tem que ir em marmita térmica com gelinho.A criança não pode cair porque "vai traumatizar".Brincar na rua virou perigoE no meio de tanta proteção...As crianças ficaram mais frágeis.Mais ansiosas.Mais perdidas.Porque a gente trocou simplicidade por paranoia.Trocou liberdade por controle.Trocou resiliência por fragilidade.E agora a gente tem:Crianças que não sabem lidar com frustração.Adolescentes que não sabem escrever uma frase.Adultos que não sabem resolver conflito sem processar alguém.Não estou dizendo que tudo era perfeito.Mas tem algo que a gente perdeu no meio do caminho:A capacidade de ser simples. De ser forte. De ser gente.Porque hoje:A gente tem mil informações. Mas nenhuma sabedoria.Mil redes sociais. Mas nenhuma conexão real.Mil terapias. Mas nenhuma paz.E às vezes eu olho pra trás e penso:A gente não tinha nada. Mas tinha tudo.Tinha vizinho que cuidava.Tinha rua pra brincar.Tinha simplicidade pra ser feliz.E hoje?Hoje a gente tem tudo.Mas parece que não tem nada.Essa é uma homenagem a quem cresceu com o simples. E sobreviveu. E virou gente de verdade.Não porque era melhor. Mas porque era real.Compartilhe com quem viveu essa época maravilhosa.Autor desconhecido

Fez, una de las ciudades imperiales de Marruecos, y la sorprendente Plasencia son los dos destinos de esta semana en El Placer de Viajar. Carmelo Jordá y Kelu Robles regresan con una nueva entrega de El Placer de Viajar en el que visitan dos destinos realmente interesantes, como siempre uno en España y otro más allá de nuestras fronteras. En esta ocasión el destino foráneo es la histórica ciudad de Fez, una de las cinco ciudades imperiales de Marruecos. Fundada en el año 789 por Idris I, esta joya llena de interés y monumentos se presenta como el corazón simbólico del país, destacando por su inmenso valor cultural y religioso que atrae a visitantes de todo el mundo y, un aspecto relativamente novedoso, también a turistas del propio Marruecos. En el recorrido por Fez que hace Kelu Robles descubre la majestuosidad de su Medina, la más grande del mundo con unas 9.000 calles laberínticas, y la universidad de al-Qarawiyyin, que presume de ser la más antigua del mundo que no ha dejado de funcionar desde su fundación. El viaje también exploran la zona de las curtidurías y el barrio judío o Mellah, además de deleitarse con la rica gastronomía marroquí que se puede disfrutar en la ciudas, mencionando la rica comida callejera y los platos tradicionales como el tajín, la pastilla y la sopa harira fassi. La segunda parada del programa nos traslada a Extremadura para visitar una de las ciudades más sorprendentes de la región: Plasencia, una localidad que llama la atención desde el minuto uno por poseer dos catedrales, algo que sólo ocurre en otros cinco lugares de España, pero con una peculiaridad: la cacereña es la ciudad más pequeña de nuestro país con esta característica y la única que no es capital de provincia. Además, Plasencia nos ofrece un impresionante casco antiguo lleno de palacios y con calles de enorme encanto y puntos clave como la Plaza Mayor, un acueducto del siglo XVI en un estado de conservación impresionante y una muralla por que es posible pasear y que conserva algunas puertas emblemáticas puertas como la del Sol, la más monumental, o la de Trujillo, muy interesante y peculiar. Para finalizar, el podcast resalta la excelente oferta culinaria de la ciudad extremeña, recomendando establecimientos como Casa Juan o Succo. Entre los manjares locales, la patatera sobresale como el producto estrella, consolidando a Plasencia como un destino indispensable que combina patrimonio histórico y placeres gastronómicos en un entorno único. Escríbenos, explícanos qué te gusta más y si hay algo que no te gusta tanto de El Placer de Viajar, dinos de qué destinos quieres que hablemos y si quieres que tratemos algún tema y, por supuesto, pregúntanos lo que quieras en el correo del programa: elplacerdeviajar@libertaddigital.com.

Before the start of My Perfect Console's fourth season, we revisit a classic early episode with the reclusive game designer, Phil Fish.Phil studied game design in Montreal and, after a brief stint working at Ubisoft, left to begin work on a game of his own, a platformer that combined the art style of the Super Nintendo classics of his youth, with perspective-shifting innovations of his own.Six years in the making, Fez launched in 2012 to near universal acclaim, part of the first wave of so-called indie games. After featuring heavily in the film documentary Indie Game: the Movie, my guest, who is passionately outspoken, became the subject of co-ordinated online attacks, which culminated in his retreat from public platforms, nearly a decade ago.Become a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsoleTake the Acast listener survey to help shape the show: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin Survey 2025 Hosted on Acast.

Pippa Hudson speaks to Mohammad Groenewald, the spokesperson for a new project that aims to honour and preserve a key symbol of Cape Muslim culture in South Africa, the fez or Kufiyah. Lunch with Pippa Hudson is CapeTalk’s mid-afternoon show. This 2-hour respite from hard news encourages the audience to take the time to explore, taste, read and reflect.

Who writes Islamic history — empires and rulers, or ordinary believers?In this research seminar hosted by AMI on 14 January 2026, Dr Hassan Abbas presents insights from his forthcoming book project, A People's History of Islam. Challenging state-centred and court-sponsored historiography, Dr Abbas explores Islam through the lived faith of pilgrims, mystics, poets, and everyday communities across centuries.Drawing on extensive travels to major pilgrimage sites — from Fez, Konya, and Baku to Lahore, Karbala, and Makkah — the seminar highlights how oral tradition, spirituality, and devotion preserve histories often absent from official archives. Dr Abbas also reflects on the role of mysticism alongside juridical tradition, the challenge of writing accessible yet rigorous scholarship, and the problem of sectarian framing in Western representations of Islam.Speaker:Dr Hassan Abbas is a Distinguished Professor of International Relations based in Washington, DC, and a Senior Advisor at Harvard University's Project on Shi'ism and Global Affairs. He is the author of The Prophet's Heir (Yale University Press) and several other widely cited works on Islam and global affairs.

devocional Efésios Foi também em Cristo que fomos escolhidos para sermos herdeiros do seu reino, destinados de acordo com o plano daquele que tudo opera conforme o propósito da sua vontade. Louvemos, portanto, a glória de Deus, nós que previamente já pusemos a nossa esperança em Cristo. Foi em união com Cristo que também receberam a palavra da verdade, a boa nova da salvação. Foi também em união com Cristo que creram e foram selados com o Espírito Santo da promessa. O Espírito Santo é a garantia da herança que nos está prometida e que consiste na completa libertação dos que pertencem a Deus, para louvor da sua glória. Efésios 1.11-14 Não tenho ponta de dúvida de que é em Cristo que me realizo plenamente. Fez-me herdeiro de Deus, proporcionando-me um estatuto impensável para um pecador maltrapilho. Agregou-me à Sua família, sendo eu um rebelde da pior espécie. Levantou-me quando estava de rastos. Ergueu-me o queixo quando a minha auto-estima soçobrava. Sussurrou-me que era amado, sem parar, desde o início. Estendeu-me o Seu perdão. Restaurou-me a alma. Devolveu-me a dignidade. Colocou-me um sorriso nos lábios. Transformou-me como pessoa. Apontou-me o caminho para o céu, ensinando-me a viver na terra. Salvou-me e equipou-me. Encheu-me as medidas. Supriu todos os meus vazios. Dotou-me de uma paz inexplicável. “Tendo n'Ele crido, fui selado com o Espírito Santo”. Assim, gozo hoje, antecipadamente, uma alegria perene. Tanto mais que, estando no fim da fila das escolhas altamente improváveis, resolveu piscar-me o olho para O seguir e, imagine-se, dá-l'O a conhecer. Sim, sou feliz com Jesus! - Jónatas Figueiredo Oramos para que este tempo com Deus te encoraje e inspire. Dá a ti próprio espaço para processar as tuas notas e a tua oração e sai apenas quando te sentires preparado.

Cresça, mas sem perder aquilo que te fez crescer

Along the way, the group stopped at a unique and secret cave dwelling, still inhabited, although at least a little modernized! And a look at how to make dietary requests and come prepared when you travel here. Remember, on a tour your tour director will help make sure that ingredients and special supplies are accounted for, since Merzouga and the villages along the way are certainly quite isolated. Which is of course part of the attraction!Azdean is there, on the ground as the African Cup completes its setup: there are football fans everywhere, and media from around the world there to cover the event. As we enter 2026, we look at how busy the country expects to be, and why it may in fact be the best time to visit, because it's only going to get busier as the football World Cup approaches, and even more attention is focused on Morocco. Things are busy, but you can still get in before the crowds get even heavier.Azdean even took a direct flight from Atlanta to Marrakech, thanks to the new service from Delta Airlines. With multiple options from the US and Canada to Casablanca and/or Marrakech, travel to Morocco is becoming even easier.This is a special episode for us: although we've done some extra bonus episodes and live q&a replays, we consider this one to be our official 100th episode!

Season 36, Episode 13 of our Serial Killers in History series. This episode examines one of North Africa's most notorious crimes and the execution that shocked the world.In the spring of 1906, authorities in Marrakesh make a discovery that will reverberate across continents. Beneath the packed-earth floor of a modest shoemaker's workshop, they uncover the remains of twenty-six women. Ten more bodies lie buried in a garden nearby. Thirty-six victims in total—women who came to a trusted craftsman for help and never walked out alive. What follows is a story of community betrayal, colonial politics, and a punishment so brutal that diplomats from New York to London demanded intervention. But the screaming from inside the marketplace walls continued for two days before...VICTIM PROFILE:The thirty-six women murdered by Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi remain largely unnamed in historical records—a final cruelty in a case dominated by its killer's infamy. They were working-class women from Marrakesh's medina, women who needed help with everyday tasks in a society where female literacy was rare. Some came to dictate letters to relatives in distant cities. Others needed shoes repaired. They were mothers, daughters, sisters who trusted a man their community trusted. They walked into his shop for legitimate business and vanished into the earth beneath his floor, their identities lost to time while their murderer's name lives in infamy.THE CRIME:Between 1902 and 1906, Mesfewi operated his shop near one of Marrakesh's public bathhouses, positioning himself perfectly to encounter women conducting business without male accompaniment. His method was consistent across all victims: he offered tea laced with narcotics, likely opium, rendering women unconscious. Once incapacitated, he killed them with a dagger and buried them beneath his workshop floor or in a garden he owned, using quicklime to accelerate decomposition. His seventy-year-old accomplice, a woman named Annah, assisted in the crimes until her capture in April 1906.KEY CASE DETAILS:The murders unraveled when families noticed a pattern—women who mentioned visiting Mesfewi's shop were never seen again. One young woman named Fatima escaped after growing dizzy from drugged tea, providing the first direct testimony against the shoemaker. When Annah was captured by a victim's family and forced to confess, she revealed the burial sites before dying from her injuries. Authorities excavating Mesfewi's workshop found twenty-six bodies, methodically buried with layers of quicklime. A second property yielded ten more victims. Forensic science in 1906 Morocco was rudimentary—no fingerprinting, no crime scene photography—so investigators relied on shovels, sketches, and eyewitness accounts to document the horror.HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SOURCES:Mesfewi's crimes occurred during Morocco's final years of independence before European colonization. As his victims were being discovered in April 1906, diplomats gathered in Algeciras, Spain, carving up Morocco's future at an international conference. Within six years, the Treaty of Fez would establish the French Protectorate, ending twelve centuries of Moroccan sovereignty. European powers seized on Mesfewi's execution—he was sealed alive inside a wall in the Marrakesh marketplace—as evidence of "barbaric" Moroccan justice requiring European oversight. Contemporary newspapers from The Times and Democrat to the St. John Sun published detailed accounts and illustrations, framing the case within colonial narratives that justified intervention.RESOURCES AND FURTHER READING:For those who want to explore further:Wikipedia article on Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi provides comprehensive case details and contemporary source citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadj_Mohammed_MesfewiMurderpedia entry includes execution details and victim count documentation: https://murderpedia.org/male.M/m/mesfewi-hadj-mohammed.htmYabiladi article examines the case from a Moroccan historical perspective: https://en.yabiladi.com/articles/details/94637/hadj-mohammed-mesfewi-morocco-serial.htmlFollow us on social media and visit mythsandmalice.com for more historical true crime.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Filho de um fotógrafo windsurfista e uma empresária, ele começou a praticar artes marciais aos 5 anos de idade. Aos 10, descobriu a escalada e, aos 12, começou a se aventurar no mountain bike. Aos 16 anos, mudou-se para o Alasca, onde concluiu o ensino médio e acumulou uma boa experiência em esportes de neve. Foi na San Diego State University, durante o curso de International Business, que ele encontrou seu caminho sobre as duas rodas. Integrou a equipe de ciclismo da universidade, participou de provas de triathlon e de mountain bike XC, até encontrar sua verdadeira paixão: o downhill. Na modalidade, competiu nos EUA, Canadá e Europa. Enquanto levava as trilhas a sério, dava os primeiros passos na sua carreira no marketing esportivo e trabalhou para marcas famosas como Reef e Oakley. De volta ao Brasil, passou pela Pepsico e Billabong antes de ingressar para o time da Red Bull, onde prospectou e gerenciou mais de 50 atletas de elite, como Henrique Avancini, Neymar, Pedro Scooby e Carlos Burle. Após quatro anos, deixou a empresa para se dedicar à distribuição das bicicletas Santa Cruz no Brasil. Fez a transição do downhill para o enduro e passou a competir tanto na América Latina quanto no Enduro World Series. Em 2018, decidiu retornar aos EUA para fazer um mestrado em Ciências Estatísticas, estabelecendo residência na Califórnia. Lecionou marketing na Universidade da Califórnia e atuou no PayPal antes de expandir seu negócio no mercado de ciclismo, acrescentando a importação das bicicletas da Factor e Yeti para o Brasil, inaugurando duas lojas no país e uma em Los Angeles, consolidando assim sua paixão, experiência e know-how. Conosco aqui, um empresário e ciclista apaixonado pela vida, pelas trilhas, pelo mar e pela neve.

 My first time with Cosplay Beth. By Thintri - listen to the podcast at Steamy Stories. She stood there, waiting impatiently for the delicious meat to slide into her eager hands. She looked forward to having it in her mouth later, I could tell. She continued to caress her belly and nibble on a fingernail as she waited impatiently.She stood around 5'4" in her Converse sneakers. She wore a black pair of boot-cut jeans and a gray tee that read “Never tell me the odds!” and had a set of red, tumbling dice and a star-fighter with four wings in the shape of an “X” sitting above a plate held up by a small plastic pole  The tee was super tight around her breasts, but I didn't notice any bra lines. I would guess she was a 36C or D. Her hips were just as wide and her ass complimented her full hips and busty chest. Her hair reminded me of that Scottish Disney movie princess, all wild and fire red. Her skin was extremely fair, like she would to burst into flames if she stepped outside. She didn't look much older than the drinking age, a good decade or more younger than me. Another adult millennial in the big city. “Seventy Three!” She pounced and grabbed the too thick package and examined it in her suddenly small hands. Her eyes were as wide as saucers and you could almost see saliva well up in the corner of her mouth. I needed to step in before she made a terrible mistake. “Excuse me. That's my Butt.” I said. “I beg your pardon?!” She responded incredulously. “Seventy Three?.. Your holding my Boston Butt.” I said, holding the ticket for her to see. “Oh, right. I'm sorry. I'm in a different world today.” “You actually look really hungry. Are you going to have time to cook or are you going to eat something raw here in the store? I'll have that Butt now.” I said holding my hands out. “Your butt is so big! Erm… I mean…” She said as she handed it over and I placed it in my cart. “Yeah, What's a bachelor going to do with all this food, right? I'm actually hosting a game night for my friends tomorrow. There will be seven of us total. Eight, if you'd like to have a taste of this Butt.” I said making “Butt” sound more like an actual innuendo this time. “T.J.” I added, extending my hand. “Beth. Pleased to meet you, T.J. What's that stand for?” She said, shaking my out-reached hand in a delicate manner. “Thaddeus Junior. ‘Thad' sounds too douchey.” “What do they call your father?” “Thad…” I said, rolling my eyes sheepishly. “But he's too old to even pretend to act like a douche. He would have no idea where to start.” “Oh, well that's good. I bet he showed you how to be a real gentleman.” She said with a slight giggle in her voice. “He showed me how to rub a butt properly, that's for sure.” “Pardon?!” She said eyes wide again. “Barbeque… dry rub? A good rub down and then moisten it up later.” “Oh, yeah… Right…” “So… Wanna come over tomorrow and join my party? You'd even out the group.” “I don't see why not. Could be fun, right?” “Splendid! That means you'll have to come over tonight to get your character squared away and maybe help prep for dinner? I promise I'll feed you tonight, too. I have flank steaks marinating.” “Oh, I don't know…” “You'll have my address and you can tell all of your friends where you'll be. There's even a doorman and a security camera in the lobby.” “Oh. That sounded well-rehearsed. Invite a lot of ladies home, do you?” She asked suspiciously. “No ma'am. I just want your mind at ease.” I lied with my hands up in a disarming manner. My response was also rehearsed, but it worked like a charm. “Tell me about the marinade.” She said slowly, squinting her eyes and nodding her head up at me. “It's a lazy meal night. It's just a store bought Italian dressing, but I add some of this and that. I was thinking maybe use my indoor grill or broil them. Do you have a preference?” I said trying to sink the hook in deeper. I'm not going to broil a steak. That's ridiculous. “Grill it!” “Agreed. So I'll see you at 6:30 then?” “Yeah. Sounds good.” Hook, Line, and Sinker. “Eighty Three!” said the butcher. “I think you're eighty three.” I said pointing at the ticket in her basket at her feet.“ “Oh. That's me!” She said turning towards the counter. We exchanged information and I gave her my address so we could meet up later. I was actually quite excited about making a new hot friend and maybe even more than that. I'm not the type of guy to jump into bed with just anybody. I really wanted to get to know her and see where in my life she might fit. 6:45 rolled around and I finally got a text from Beth: “Hey, Sorry. The train was running late and there's no cell service down there. I'm walking up to street level now. I'll be at your place in Ten minutes. Is there anything you want me to pick up?” I responded: “Hey, glad you're on the way. I was worried you split on me or worse. All I have is vanilla ice cream and toppings for dessert. If that's not good enough, we can walk around the block and get an Italian Ice from the pizza shop. Is red wine okay with the steaks? If not, I have beer. Should I let the wine breathe or would you rather beer?” She responded: “Italian Icies! And beer, please. Wine feels too formal. [Winky emoji] Be up in five.” She wasn't kidding about the train running slow. The news interrupted my background show. There was a brown out on my line that took 20 minutes to fix. One train was in emergency lighting the whole time. I already called ahead downstairs for the doorman to let my new friend up. He needed to send her up manually because she didn't have a key fob to my apartment. The elevator opened to each unit, but they all had entryways prior to the front door. It was a private place to take off wet clothes and hang jackets and kick off shoes before entering. I left the front door open and she let herself in. “Hello? TJ?” “In the kitchen.” “Hey!” She said, giving me a friendly hug. She smelled like strawberries. I also took a good look at her while were chit-chatted. She wore a Falmouth Falcons Jersey and a matching pleated skirt. She had on short two or three inch heels on that had open toes and matched her outfit well. She quickly discarded them and left them in the hall outside of the front door and closed it behind her. She also put a pair of clips in her hair, leaving the right side of her neck exposed. “I was just about to text you to ask how you like your steak cooked?” “Medium. It's okay if it's a little rare, just don't cook it too much, please.” “Oh, that makes it easier on me. I can put them on around the same time.” “Do you need any help with the cooking?” “Umm… Did you want the potatoes mashed, or as is?” “Hmm… Nah. We can leave them like that. They look done, too.” She said, looking into the pot. “Fork ready!” I said stabbing at them. I went ahead and strained them while Beth flipped the steaks. I also served up a helping of corn for each of us and added the potatoes. “How do they look?” She asked me, pointing to the steaks. I poked at one with my finger and pushed until I felt it push back. “Feels about Medium rare. Maybe another minute on that side.” I said. Beth took it upon herself to grab two beers from the fridge. I was just about done with my second, so it was good timing on her part. “This looks interesting. ‘Axel Rogues' P.O.'d India Pale Ale'? Is it new?” “It's from a brewery a couple of my friends partially own. They send it up from the Alabama Coast for me. They might be giving me a bit of a drinking problem.” I said in jest. “Isn't it bad to have cartoon characters on your beer labels? Something about advertising to minors?” “It's a promotional thing. Only a few of those labels were printed. It was mostly for investors and the grand opening a few weeks back.” “Oh. This tastes pretty good!” She said, wide-eyed. I was told it's a bit of a panty dropper, but I wasn't telling her that. “Yeah. It's got a lot of subtle tastes that the female focus groups enjoyed. The male groups said it's refreshing, but might be too easy to drink. Hence my problem.” I kidded again, even though it was true. Dinner went by pretty quickly and we both cleared our plates and then dumped the dishes in the washer. She was on her third beer and I had just finished my fourth. “Would you like another or maybe a Manhattan?” I asked, trying to grease her wheels some. “Can you make a White Manhattan?” She asked. It felt more like a test. “Sure. Is Hudson okay?” I asked, volleying her serve. “That'd be perfect!” She said all too eagerly. Beth went ahead and wiped the table down and moved some of the settings aside to make room for us to work. She had brought her messenger bag and pulled out a large Velcro binder with a few gaming books. I was actually impressed with her line of questioning and her surprising neatness. We decided that one of her old characters, a Human Monk, was a good fit for the group and I gave her the run-down of the story so far, as best as I could remember. She wasn't surprised by the content being sexual in nature. Lots of groups add a sexy/romantic spin thanks to modern fantasy movies and books. One girl in the group, Adrienne, had to re-roll after a death because she decided to fight her way out of an Orc rape scene rather than lose her purity. She was playing a Paladin at the time, so it was pretty fitting. She did set fire to the camp site and take out a few Orcs before she died, though. It was pretty awesome. She re-rolled into a rogue who was her last toon's “Black Sheep” sister; she was a very pissed off rogue. We completely forgot about going out for Icies and decided to chat some more about the group and where I felt the story might lead. I noticed in my peripheral vision that her nipples started to show through her tight shirt. My apartment isn't that cold. I like it to be around seventy six degrees. The air is humidity controlled, so the extra A/C isn't needed. The conversation slid over to her cosplay hobby and how devout she is to it. She whipped out her phone and swiped through several characters she's played at conventions and ren faires. She's even done some minor MeTube shorts in character. We were sitting side-by-side, nearly shoulder to shoulder as she swiped. One particular picture was done in a mirror “selfie” fashion. She was wearing a very tight corset dress that was blue and white, similar to a very familiar droid we all know and love. Her breasts were practically pouring out of her top and her hand was between her legs in a provocative manner. “Whoops… You weren't supposed to see that… Sorry” “Hey now… You should share with the rest of the class, Missy.” I said leaning in closer to her and her phone. “Okay, but they really aren't much to look at. Really.” She said modestly. The pics varied from lingerie to sexy cosplay back to lingerie. Some were topless, but her free hand covered her nipples. There was still an eye-full of side and under boob, though. “I showed you mine, now you show me yours.” She demanded playfully. I had several shirtless gym “Swole” pics as well as a few cosplay pics, too. None as flattering as her pictures, but she seemed pleased with them. She was definitely excited about my picture with me wearing a Fez and bow tie. As I got up for another drink, I opted to switch back to beer. I offered her one over her shoulder and she took it, letting her hand linger on mine, not taking the bottle, though. She let the cold glass rub her neck and shoulder, and when she finally took it, she pulled me into a bent over, sideways kiss. I'm pretty sure she was feeling similar fireworks to mine. I went ahead and climbed over the couch, letting our head bump in the process. We giggled as we put our beers down and started making out like ninth graders. I was being a complete gentleman and let my hands fall on her face and neck as we kissed. Her hands were in similar places, but soon explored down to my chest. I kept it cool and let her do her thing while both of my hands were now working her neck and tangled in her hair. She reached up and pulled her clips out so I didn't pull on her hair the wrong way. I kept up my aggressive assault above her shoulders as she continued to grope my chest and stomach over my shirt. I was wearing a light, loose button-down and low-rise dark blue jeans. Her hands explored more while undoing a button or two. Her left hand snaked into the opening and now rubbed my chest more over my ribbed tank tee underneath. Once all my buttons were undone, I took some initiative and grabbed her under her thighs and pulled her into my lap. She was now kneeling on both sides of my pelvis. We only broke the kiss long enough to discard my top and then my undershirt. My hands were now under her tee shirt, caressing her back. My fingers roamed and slid over where her bra strap would have been. She felt my mouth peak at the sides in a little smile at that. She giggled and pulled her tee off and tossed it to the adjacent love seat. We were sitting bare chest to bare chest as she started moving her hips in a subtle rocking motion on my lap. My hands found her breasts as I continued to molest her tongue with mine. My cock was rock hard and rubbing against her pussy though my jeans and thin fabric of her underwear. She started undoing my belt and pants as I worked on unbuttoning her skirt and pulling the hip zipper down one handed as my mouth found her right breast. Her strawberry scent was so much stronger with my face in her chest. It was driving me crazy. “Take them off.” She said breathlessly, standing up and discarding her skirt, adding it to her tee. I hopped my butt up and pulled my pants off without standing. She was standing between my legs and I would have prolly head-butted her again if I tried to stand. I decided to leave my boxer briefs on to match her level of dress. She sat back down straddling my lap again, only leaving more room between our pelvises this time. My mouth found her left breast as she blindly reached into the opening of my shorts. I was cupping her left breast with my right hand as my left hand began to fondle her right ass cheek. She was wearing a g-string. My hand would squeeze her ass and slide between her cheeks and back to squeezing again. She gasped as she grabbed my cock with her hand. She couldn't see it past my head or through my shorts, but she was certainly pleased with it's size and current level of petrification. She knelt on her left knee and tried to slide my shorts down. I miscued my attempt at helping by hopping my butt again and we head- butted again. We giggled, took a drink and she took my shorts off and took her place back in my lap again. This time, she was crushing my cock against her slit, covered by the tiniest triangle of fabric I've ever seen… Or felt for that matter. Her rocking increased and she was now dry-humping my cock. I could feel her moistness lubricating my dick through her g-string. My pre-cum was starting to bubble over my mushroom cap. Her nails dug into my chest. I didn't notice them until now… They were French tipped and matched her Quidditch jersey. My hands were both on her ass now, as my fingers were sliding up and down her crack and slipping under the thin thread. Her breathing became ragged as my fingers found her drenched pussy from behind. One hand was holding her string aside and her pussy open for me. My right hand found her opening and clit as she rocked back. She started to cum, grinding harder onto me. She called out my name as she climaxed and crumpled onto my chest. Her head on my shoulder. She was panting hard. My fingers continued to rub her from behind softly, easing several after shocks out of her. “Excuse me a moment.” She finally said through choppy breaths. She made her way to the hallway bath and I took the opportunity to grab a condom from the coffee table drawer. I had just enough time to tear one free from the rest and tuck it into the side of the couch cushion when the bathroom door opened up. Her face and chest were flushed, and she still wobbled a little when she walked. It was a combination of her orgasm and the alcohol, I guess. She was holding her g-string in one hand. Her pussy was clean shaven except for a thin trail of red pubic hair just above her clit hood. My dick jumped in approval. “What are we going to do about that?” She said hitching her head towards my crotch. “What did you have in mind?” I said standing before she got too close. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into another passionate kiss. My cock was rubbing against her navel and my hands found her ass again. She pushed/eased me back onto the couch and got between my legs. She tossed her undies to the side, this time missing the pile and ending up on the floor. The flimsy fabric wasn't heavy enough to make the whole flight. She also had a condom in her hand that she sat on the couch beside me. She must have snuck it out of the medicine cabinet. Her eyes didn't leave mine as her hands stroked my cock. Her butt lowered to a sitting position on her heels. Her mouth opened wide enough to lick the head as she pumped me. She licked from the root to the tip. Her face was covered from her chin to her hair line when she was at her deepest. My dick was longer than her face. She started to suck me off, never stopping to close her eyes, she barely blinked as she stared right into my mine. I would have loved to close my eyes and roll my head back, but her eyes were entrancing. It was the hottest blow job I have ever gotten. Hands down. She was moaning on my cock, flicking her tongue in my tip's slit, lapping up any pre-cum that was leaking out. There was plenty of it, too. My dick was practically drooling. As soon as she was certain that she killed half of my fortitude, she leaned over and retrieved the condom and handed it to me. I ripped it open and popped it on like a magician doing a close-up magic trick. A dove flew out from under my sack. I'm kidding. I grabbed her and pulled her to the couch letting her fall supine. My cock was already at her moist opening. Her heels dug into the backs of my thighs. My dick slid in a good quarter of the way, our gaze never breaking. Her heels let up some and I retreated only to thrust in again. I found a bit of resistance when I got better than half of my shaft inside her. I finally bottomed out on the fourth stroke. I could feel her cervix give about an inch and then kiss my crown with every pass. It was incredible. I still had about an inch to give her, but she'd have to take that herself, I wasn't going to hurt her. Once I got into a good rhythm, I reached up to place my right hand over her shoulder to support my weight over her a little better. She took my hand and placed it on her neck and gently squeezed my forearm until my fingers mimicked her squeezing. Once she was satisfied with my ministrations on her neck, she started to grind against me from underneath. Her left leg took footing on the floor and bounced up onto me. She was looking for the last inch. My left hand wrapped around her left ankle and lifted her leg up over my shoulder and she finally got what she wanted. I was completely inside her and now, my pubic bone grinding into her clit with each thrust. I shortened my stride and let her clit join in on the fun full-time. I found a nipple with my left hand and rubbed it gently, increasing the sensations more and more. A good deal of my upper body weight was on her neck as I squeezed, but she didn't seem to mind. Her mouth creased into a thin smile as she moaned louder and louder. She was going to cum again, only this time she was cumming on my sheathed cock. Her pussy gripped me tighter and my hands involuntarily did the same to her neck and nipple. Her eyes shot open wide as the convulsions started. My pace quickened and I started to penetrate her deeper again. Her squishing was suddenly louder and more pronounced. Her juices were coating my balls as she continued to shake and moan breathlessly. I released her and leaned back and pulled her legs further apart and rubbed her clit in a similar fashion as before. She shook and gasped as she let a third orgasm pass on by. My strokes came to a halt and stopped rubbing her clit. “Are you okay?” I asked smiling at her. The redness dimmed in her face now that the blood returned, but she was still very flushed. “That…was pretty fucking perfect!” She said honestly. “If you let me turn you over, I can go for extra credit. How does that sound?” I replied. “Oh! You didn't cum yet! Take me anyway you'd like!” She said rolling over onto her hands and knees. My right thumb immediately found her puckered asshole. “Okay, not anyway, Cowboy.” She added, giggling. I leaned in and slid all the way in, missing her cervix this time because of the angle. I was stretching her out while hitting all the right spots. My balls nuzzling her clit as I stroked into her. I could see her pussy pull out with me slightly despite her moisture and the lube on the condom. Her climax surprised us both as she began to ram back onto me. I didn't slow down because her canal tightened up and was now hugging all my favorite spots. I plowed through her narrowing passage looking for my own prize. She didn't have any time to recover as she reached orgasm again and again until I was ready. “Where would you like it?” I asked, being a perfect gentleman. “Don't you… fucking dare… pull out… FUCK!” She gasped between strokes. One last look at the condom to check on it's structural integrity and I was plowing harder, deeper, and faster now. Her moans reached a familiar volume again and I was doing my best to time my nut with her next orgasm. As soon as my seed spilled into her condom-protected cunt, she came hard again. We both grunted our approval as my balls emptied. We stayed like that for a moment, knotted together in pleasure. I could feel my cock softening so I took it as a cue to pull out. I grabbed the base of the condom and my cock and slid it out slowly. She tried backing into me to keep me inside her. The latex held and there was a considerable load sloshing in the tip. It would have produced triplets if that's how sex actually worked. She rolled over and collapsed back onto the couch. Seeing the condom in my hand, she grabbed it and poured it all over her huge breasts and rubbed it in, licking her fingers and popping a nipple in her mouth, purring like a cat. It was the grossest thing I ever saw. I fucking loved it, though. I showed her to my master bath and started the shower. I had a garden tub and a shower stall with just enough room for us both inside. We cleaned up and kissed some under the water, then dried off. She retrieved her clothes in one bundle. Her eyes looked like she had something to say, but her lips didn't move. We were both pretty drunk by now and the trains were far too dangerous to ride. I offered to call her a cab and pay for it, but she declined taking my money, saying something about feeling like a hooker. I assured her that wasn't the case and she smiled. I also offered her my spare bedroom, assuming that sleeping in the same bed would be too intimate for her. She gladly accepted. I grabbed something for her to sleep in. A pair of sweats and a big, soft white tee. I was wearing something similar, although they fit me better. After showing her to the spare bedroom and turning the bed for her, I gave her a sensual kiss on her mouth. No tongue. A peck on her forehead and I walked to the door. “What time do you wake up?” She asked, fiddling with her phone above the covers. “Got somewhere to be?” I jested. “Ten? Maybe? Wake me if you're up first. How does pancakes sound for breakfast?” “Oh my Gaia, He's making me pancakes…” She said laughing out loud. “It's a deal!” As I hit the light, I could see her face lit up by her cell phone screen. She was prolly giving the “all clear” to one of her girlfriends, assuring them that she was alright. Prolly better than alright. I reached my bedroom and wiggled under the sheet and took my rest for the night. My bedside clock said 1:37 AM. Not a bad first date, eh? My eyes were heavy and I surrendered to the best sleep of my life. By Thintri , for Literotica

Cartógrafo, major e explorador, Percy Fawcett percorreu alguns dos lugares mais inóspitos do planeta. Em sua juventude, no Sri Lanka, explorou baías remotas e identificou ruínas de antigos reinos budistas.Quando adulto, trabalhou como espião para a Grã-Bretanha, investigando o sultão do Marrocos em Fez.Mas foi na Amazônia tornou-se famoso: Fawcett liderou expedições pelo Acre e pela Bolívia, ajudando a definir as fronteiras entre os dois países.Suas jornadas tornaram-se célebres, com seu rosto impresso em capas de jornais e revistas por toda Europa. Um tabloide da época dizia:“Esse é o verdadeiro escoteiro: tomem-o como exemplo! "O prestígio foi tanto que Leonard Darwin, filho de Charles Darwin e presidente da Royal Geographical Society, o levou em turnê para palestrar pela Inglaterra.Com chapéu de feltro, caderno de anotações e um jeito independente de trabalhar, Fawcett acabou se tornando o molde do aventureiro que mais tarde inspiraria personagens como Indiana Jones.Mas...nem todos o viam como um herói. Muitos colegas o consideravam rígido, arrogante e charlatão, um homem obcecado por glória pessoal e convicções quase absolutas sobre o território que explorava.E, de fato, havia muitas coisas sobre a vida de Fawcett que não era divulgada pela mídia geral...

Dr. Rosemary Admiral provides a groundbreaking history of women's legal engagement in Marinid Morocco between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries that fundamentally challenges contemporary assumptions about women's relationships to Islamic legal traditions. Drawing on a rich collection of fatwas (legal documents) from Fez and surrounding areas, Dr. Admiral demonstrates how women—some without formal education—strategically navigated complex legal landscapes to protect their interests, expand their rights, and reshape social dynamics. Contrary to prevailing narratives that portray Islamic law as a monolithic, oppressive system, the book shows how women actively co-produced legal interpretations. They used sophisticated strategies like contract stipulations, exploring plurality in legal opinions, and consulting local scholars to renegotiate marriage terms and expand their rights. These women did not view the legal system as an enemy, but as an instrument for challenging misdeeds and addressing community needs. Dr. Admiral draws attention to the historical practice and implementation of the Maliki school of Islamic law in an area that remained outside of Ottoman control. She highlights women's engagement with Islamic law as deeply embedded in support systems encompassing families, communities, and legal structures, and makes visible women's agency and power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Dr. Admiral draws attention to the historical practice and implementation of the Maliki school of Islamic law in an area that remained outside of Ottoman control. She highlights women's engagement with Islamic law as deeply embedded in support systems encompassing families, communities, and legal structures, and makes visible women's agency and power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for week 3. Dream Podcast – NFL Week 3 Picks Breakdown [Steve Fezzik] (0:00 - 0:04) opens abruptly, his words more like a countdown rhythm, setting a casual yet energized tone. [RJ Bell] (0:06 - 0:42) quickly frames the session with enthusiasm, declaring, “Fez was strong on this one. Acme. Just think Acme is the key word.” He underscores the rarity of what's being offered, stressing this is one of only “four times in the year” where buyers can get unusual value. His analysis implies urgency and scarcity, pressing listeners to act. [Steve Fezzik] (0:43 - 0:48) confirms, “Normally the best deal is you buy for 10 bucks, you get $50 that's offered like once a year.” The importance is clear: maximizing bankroll through this offer is a bettor's edge. [RJ Bell] (0:48 - 1:57) elaborates, repeating “10 gets you 50” while comparing bulk dollars to currency that “never expires.” He emphasizes, “You can spend bulk dollars just like cash never expires,” framing them as stable and advantageous. His implication is that investing here amplifies purchasing power and locks in long-term flexibility. [Steve Fezzik] (1:57 - 2:00) briefly shifts, noting “Hey doc, sports is still going strong,” signaling momentum and reinforcing credibility. [RJ Bell] (2:00 - 2:22) redirects to performance, praising Fezzik: “In college football this season, Steve Fezzik is up 43 units plus. How do you do that in three weeks?” The statistic highlights extraordinary profitability, anchoring Fezzik's authority. [Steve Fezzik] (2:22 - 2:23) explains simply, “High volume,” acknowledging his strategy. [RJ Bell] (2:23 - 2:36) pushes further, asking about availability of picks, emphasizing immediacy. [Steve Fezzik] (2:36 - 2:47) clarifies, “I got my Thursday, Friday college football package up. So I got plays multiple plays for Thursday and Friday,” stressing preparedness and access. [RJ Bell] (2:47 - 3:02) advises Fezzik to release weekend packages early, suggesting buyers will maximize the $10-to-$50 offer, showing a direct connection between financial deal and betting content. [Steve Fezzik] (3:04 - 3:14) adds credibility, noting, “I already won my underdog game of the year. Georgia Tech beats Clemson bonus pick… Clemson under nine and a half wins.” These stats reinforce his sharp projections and long-term leverage, demonstrating foresight on both single games and season totals. [RJ Bell] (3:14 - 4:54) amplifies Fezzik's success: “That's over 10 units. That's like 14 units a week.” He frames it as “crazy,” underscoring just how rare such hot streaks are. His analysis ties the value of the bulk dollar promotion to Fezzik's picks, arguing this is the “wise guy move.” He instructs listeners to buy through Pregame.com, directly linking purchase mechanics to betting success. [Steve Fezzik] (4:55 - 5:18) pivots to NFL observations: “There are no upsets in the NFL anymore… if you just money lined every four point favorite and higher so far, you are undefeated.” This team-level trend reveals a major shift in survivor pool dynamics, implying fewer surprises early in the season. He cautions it may be an “aberration” but still impactful for Week 3 strategy. [RJ Bell] (5:18 - 5:20) challenges why lead with an aberration, sharpening the analysis. [Steve Fezzik] (5:28 - 5:47) closes this segment by pointing to contrarian betting: “If you had done nothing but bet 0–2 teams week three in the NFL catching points 48, 27…” His stat illustrates historical strength of fading public panic on struggling teams, reinforcing his long-term contrarian philosophy.
