Audiobook. 1776 by David McCullough. Part 1. To listen to the entire 10 hour audiobook visit the YouTube channel- https://youtu.be/s1snOJwE_ks?si=9QiOil2n-kyUzQWi America's beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation's birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America's survival in the hands of George Washington. In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence—when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper. Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color; farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King's men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known. Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough's 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.
Sadie takes us through the five categories of Crazy Fundie Rules, and how these rules affect your life when you are trying to live by them. Some of them have biblical justifications, some of them are completely made up by some pastor somewhere and ended up being widely adopted.

Published as a 47-page pamphlet in colonial America on January 10, 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The elegantly plain and persuasive language that Thomas Paine used touched the hearts and minds of the average American and was the first work to openly ask for political freedom and independence from Great Britain. Paine’s powerful words came to symbolize the spirit of the Revolution itself. General George Washington had it read to his troops.

So far in the 2026 edition of the World Baseball Classic, the teams that we have come to expect positive results from are holding up their end of the bargain. With Team USA, Japan and the Dominican Republic all proving to be who we thought they were, pool play has seemed like just a tune-up for these powerhouses. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down all the action from the WBC this past weekend, which saw the United States handle Great Britain and Brazil with the help of the superstar friendship duo of team captain Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper. While the USA squad might not look like they're having as much fun as other teams on the field, their businesslike approach appears to keep them in the mindset of winning gold or bust for this tournament. Later, Jake and Jordan recap the other pool play from the tourney, which includes Masataka Yoshida returning to the form for Team Japan that made him such a coveted bat by the Boston Red Sox when he first came to the States. They then get into the incredible first-ever walk-off wins in the tournament that saw an emotional Puerto Rico crowd celebrate their home victory against Panama. 1:29 - The Opener: Team USA's impressive weekend 17:57 - The importance of the WBC 27:14 - Judge & Harper friendship 35:25 - Korea advances in thriller 45:26 - Japan in cruise control 50:11 - Turbo Mode: All the action from the tourney Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
From the collapse of the broken NHS to the chilling rise of daytime machete robberies in the heart of London, the UK has officially transformed from a global empire into the world's second most depressed nation. This episode pulls back the curtain on a country where earning £150,000 leaves you poorer than a 1970s McDonald's worker, de-banking is used to silence political dissent, and millionaires are fleeing at a rate of one every 13 minutes. As the government effectively taxes the air you breathe and basic groceries require security tags, Rob investigates whether Great Britain is sleepwalking into a socialist nightmare or if a revolution is the only way to save what's left of the Union. BEST MOMENTS "We used to have an empire; now we don't even have a village. We are officially the second most depressed country in the world." "The problem isn't the rich; the rich are being taxed more and more. The problem is the disgusting, disgraceful, and vile wastage of taxpayer money." "Our generation will be remembered as the last to have any kind of freedom in this country unless things change fast."

Glamour, Fußball, Popkultur und Millionenverträge: Kaum eine Familie steht so sehr für modernen britischen Celebrity-Status wie die Beckhams. David Beckham, Fußballlegende von Manchester United und Real Madrid, einer der bekanntesten Sportler der Welt. Victoria Beckham, einst „Posh Spice“ der Spice Girls, heute international erfolgreiche Designerin. Gemeinsam haben sie über Jahrzehnte hinweg eine globale Marke aufgebaut – die berühmte „Brand Beckham“. In dieser Folge BRITPOD spricht Alexander-Klaus Stecher mit der Society-Expertin Tanja May, stellvertretende Chefredakteurin der BILD und Leiterin der Unterhaltungsredaktion. Seit vielen Jahren beobachtet sie die Welt der Royals, Stars und internationalen Prominenten und kennt die Mechanismen hinter Glamour, Macht und öffentlichen Familienkonflikten. Doch hinter der perfekt inszenierten Fassade einer scheinbar makellosen Promi-Dynastie zeigen sich inzwischen tiefe Risse. Seit einiger Zeit sorgt ein familiärer Konflikt für Schlagzeilen, der nicht nur die Boulevardpresse beschäftigt: Der älteste Sohn Brooklyn Beckham, seine Ehefrau Nicola Peltz und ein Streit, der von Hochzeitsdramen über Social-Media-Blockaden bis zu schweren Vorwürfen gegen die eigene Familie reicht. Gemeinsam werfen sie einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Beckham-Dynastie: Wie entstand aus einem Fußballstar und einem Spice Girl eine der bekanntesten Promi-Familien der Welt? Welche Rolle spielen Ruhm, Geld und öffentliche Inszenierung im Leben dieser Familie? Und warum scheint ausgerechnet der älteste Sohn heute so weit von seinen Eltern entfernt zu sein? Ist der Streit tatsächlich nur ein Missverständnis rund um eine Hochzeit oder steckt mehr dahinter? Welche Rolle spielen Social Media, Loyalität und öffentliche Erwartungen in einer Familie, die seit Jahrzehnten im Rampenlicht steht?

Welcome to Episode 146 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's LIVE special follows the opening matchup between Team USA and Brazil as Pool B play begins in Houston at the 2026 World Baseball Classic. We're recording immediately after the final out, breaking down Team USA's 15–5 victory over Brazil — examining pitching usage, lineup construction, key moments, and what the result means for the United States as the tournament begins to take shape. Manager Mark DeRosa entered the tournament with one of the most closely watched pitching plans of any national team. Earlier this week he finalized the United States' rotation structure, beginning with Logan Webb starting tonight's opener against Brazil. Webb has quietly developed into one of the most dependable starters in the National League, built around a heavy sinker that generates ground balls and limits damaging contact. In a condensed international tournament where efficiency can matter as much as dominance, that profile made him a logical choice to anchor the first game of pool play. Behind Webb, the American rotation quickly transitions into two of the most overpowering arms in baseball. Two-time American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is scheduled to take the ball in Game 2 against Great Britain, while reigning National League Cy Young winner Paul Skenes is lined up to face Mexico in Game 3. The fourth game against Italy is currently projected for Nolan McLean, though that plan remains fluid as he continues recovering from a recent illness. The structure of the rotation reflects the unique challenge of the World Baseball Classic. Pitchers must operate under tournament pitch limits while also remaining aligned with their Major League clubs' preparation for Opening Day. DeRosa acknowledged earlier this week that managing those constraints requires balancing competitiveness with long-term health and scheduling realities. Offensively, the American roster remains one of the deepest assembled in international baseball. Team captain Aaron Judge addressed the group before the tournament began, emphasizing the pride associated with representing the United States. The lineup surrounding him features elite star power and positional flexibility, including potential platoon usage in center field between Pete Crow-Armstrong and Byron Buxton. The broader tournament landscape only heightens the significance of tonight's opener. The 2026 World Baseball Classic features 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami through March 17. Japan enters the tournament as the defending champion after defeating the United States in the 2023 final, while several other nations — including the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico — arrive with rosters capable of making deep runs. Tonight was the first step in that journey for the United States — and it ended with a decisive 15–5 opening win.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego today. Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip to South Korea, now sharing my best travel ideas. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world. Listener Story Spotlight A friend and a listener named Lois recently went to Hawaii. She told me about how she spent a lot of time getting travel insurance for herself and her partner. She had to pay more than she expected as her partner was having a birthday between the day she bought the service and the day of the trip. But she said it was well worth it for her peace of mind. Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: Where to find the best travel insurance for a long trip abroad. 1. Start with a neutral comparison engine and you can see this in the shownotes. Why use it first? Where to click Smart filters to enable Lets you price 30-day single-trip plans from dozens of underwriters side-by-side, then click through to the policy certificate in one step. Squaremouth (toggle "Comprehensive" or "Medical-only" to see apples-to-apples pricing). Squaremouth Travel Insurance Medical ≥ $100k, Evac ≥ $250k, "Cancel for Any Reason" if you want maximum flexibility. Gives you consumer-written claim reviews plus AM Best financial ratings right in the results grid. InsureMyTrip (same data feed as Squaremouth but different sort logic). Add "Pre-existing condition waiver" if relevant; check "Adventure sports" if you'll hike or dive. Pulls quotes from some insurers that don't feed aggregators (e.g., Allianz's higher-tier plans) and lists A.M. Best scores. TravelInsurance.com Use the "24/7 assistance" toggle; you'll see which plans outsource help lines. Skeptical check: All three make a commission; none of them has every carrier. Run your trip through at least two engines and see if the so-called "cheapest" plan really is. 2. Cross-reference with an independent ranking list ● U.S. News "Best Travel Insurance Companies 2025" ranks plans by coverage and claim-paying history—not advertising spend. It's a fast way to see which names (Travelex, Allianz, Tin Leg, etc.) consistently show up in the top tier. U.S. News 3. See what other solo women say ● SoloTravelerWorld.com keeps an updated "Best Travel Insurance for Solo Travelers" guide that spells out what to look for if you're traveling alone—single-supplement benefits, harassment coverage, and 24-hour crisis lines. Solo Traveler ● AbsolutelyLucy.com lays out five red flags that matter disproportionately to women (e.g., personal-assault medical limits, emergency contraception exclusions). Absolutely Lucy Read these before you fall for glossy Instagram ads that treat "female-friendly" as a slogan. 4. Kick the tires on the insurer's own site If a plan looks good in a marketplace, open the policy certificate directly on the carrier's website (World Nomads, SafetyWing, Allianz, IMG, etc.). World Nomads publishes unfiltered claim reviews—useful for sniffing out chronic payout delays. World Nomads 5. Verify what your government will—or won't—do The U.S. State Department's Insurance Coverage Overseas page makes it crystal-clear that Uncle Sam does not pay your hospital bill or med-evac. It also links to the embassy medical resources for every country, which tells you how far the nearest trauma center is from your trekking trail. Travel.gov 6. Double-check your credit-card benefits Cards in your wallet may cover trip delay, baggage loss, or secondary car rental insurance. The Points Guy keeps a running tally of cards whose built-in coverage is worth something—and where the gaps are (e.g., no medical evacuation). How to use these resources efficiently Quote your exact dates (don't round your trip to a calendar month; excess days add cost). Filter for medical & evac first; those are the two benefits that can bankrupt you. Ignore marketing buzzwords like "explorer" or "adventure" until you've opened the PDF certificate and searched for the activity you actually plan to do. Run your final-four shortlist past recent claim reviews (Squaremouth, Trustpilot, Reddit r/solotravel) to see if the carrier ghosted people during COVID or the Israel–Gaza cancellations. Purchase directly from the insurer once you've chosen—that avoids aggregator change-fees if you need to modify dates. Stay curious, question every "Top 10" list's methodology, and you'll land the coverage that fits your risk profile—nothing more, nothing less. 60 second confidence challenge 3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select walkable neighborhoods with public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you. To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my book dives deeper—link in description." See Book A for addressing all of these items. Find it on the website: 5 steps to solo travel.com or on Amazon. It's a series. Destination Deep‑Dive Today's destination is: South Korea I visited South Korea last year and am going back this month. I landed at Seoul's Inchon Airport. My Korean pronunciation is not good, so please bear with me as I describe my trip. I was excited to see the city through my friend Chris's eyes. We were whisked away to a hotpot dinner, then taken to the French neighborhood in Seoul, where we rested overnight. The next morning, we drove south to visit a town about 2 hours away and stayed in Wolbong-ro (Road), in Seobuk-gu, near SeongJeong. South Korea is about the same size as the US state of Virginia, or compared to the size of the country of Hungary. If you look at the size of the entire peninsula, you would say it's the same size as Minnesota or the country of Great Britain. I was only there for four days, but during this time, I was able to see a lot of Seoul and explore some places to share with you. For example, the Seoul Noryangin Fisheries Wholesale Market is five stories tall and open to the public. It's worth seeing if you like seafood, and you can roam the aisles looking for your favorite fish delicacies. I visited the Vovo Bidet company and met with the director and some of his team. Have you seen the #1 Bidet firm in Korea? They have retail and wholesale offices in the Los Angeles area as well. I liked the tour of the offices here in Seoul. They even have a Bidet to go. Think about that for a minute. That was in Daebang-dong or Seocho4-dong. I visited retail stores such as Zara, one of my favorite fashion stores. I had Chinese, Japanese, and Fusion foods. I took subways, buses, taxis, and Ubers, plus trains. I went to Gwannghumun Square, the purple Station #9. I went to the shopping mall called The Hyundai, and found stores like Zanmang Loopy, the Hyundai Present, and a great coffee and tea shop. I learned about Hanguel, the Korean alphabet, and saw the statue of Sejong the Great. There was also another statue of Admiral YiSun Sin. The Bukchon Honok Village is a quiet residential area. Jogyasa Temple is where you will see Buddhism. Hongdae is the neighborhood for independent artists. Yonsei University was a place I wanted to visit next time, as I was in the neighborhood and liked it a lot. Gangnam style, well, maybe next time. I tried new foods, such as mung bean pancakes and hotteok dessert. We had a wonderful dinner at Sushi-ya Shabu-ya, about an hour from Seoul, near Korea Nazarene University in Cheonan-si-Buldang1-dong. Recommended: Relax in a tea house. Smart Move and Slip-up pairings We arrived in In Korea, we were unable to enter the building because we had insufficient funds on our transit cards. Instead, we had to see the office at the kiosk and pay for the train. It was not much, but it did take a few minutes. We arrived well ahead of the recommended 3 hours, so that was not an issue. 60-second confidence challenge Do you or don't you tip? Not in South Korea. But it's always smart to ask. Be confident when you know the expectations. Resources Roundup If you are looking for more solo female travel resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls, such as paying the difference on the transit card when traveling long distances or knowing when to tip. Take away mantra and goodbye. When you get lost, don't get upset. Get found. You will be better off if you cool your brain down instead of heating it incorrectly. Chill, and you'll be found sooner.

Ben, Woods, and Paul are here for you on a Friday morning! We start the show with a little foreplay as the guys give at least a few details about our big meeting that we had after the show yesterday. Then we set the menu for today's show, and the guys talk about Joe Musgrove returning to a live game situation yesterday for the first time since surgery and we hear from Joe himself who spoke with the media following his outing against Great Britain in Peoria. Listen here!
The Tudors were prolific builders, from grand palaces such as Hampton Court Palace and Greenwich to imposing castles, small townhouses and narrow cobbled streets with black and white timber structures jutting out at odd angles. Sadly, many of the great sites of Tudor England are now either greatly reduced or completely lost, but what happened in them is not. Today, I am pleased to welcome back onto the podcast my friend Dr Sarah Morris, for a discussion all about her very favourite topic - Tudor buildings. Sarah has an encyclopaedic knowledge of practically every Tudor building in the UK, including many that people have never heard of but can still be visited, so stay tuned to find out some of the secrets and lesser known locations and stories from the myriad Tudor buildings spread across Great Britain!
Andy Cumpstey is joined by Christian Macutkiewicz Consultant General, HPB and Hernia Surgeon at Manchester Royal Infirmary, Director of The Gallstone Clinic and Manchester Hernia at Spire Manchester Hospital and the incoming President of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland, and Dimitris Damaskos Consultant General Surgeon within the Department of Surgery at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (NHS Lothian), Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh. They discuss the postoperative period as a critical part of the perioperative journey, emphasizing the importance of clear postoperative communication, reassurance even after "successful" operations, and explaining complications and expected recovery timelines. They highlight challenges in recognizing deterioration, including reduced reliance on clinical examination skills among junior doctors and the systems-based concept of "failure to rescue," arguing that consistent ward-based recognition systems and high-volume units help detect complications earlier. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways are cited, including using day-3 CRP thresholds to trigger CT imaging for early detection of anastomotic leak. They note post-COVID pressures to clear surgical backlogs have increased situations where patients are operated on by surgeons who did not initially see them, potentially weakening trust and continuity when complications occur, and they discuss flattening hierarchy so trainees can do ward rounds with consultant support. The conversation covers future technology, including AI for risk stratification and imaging interpretation, and remote continuous vital-sign monitoring, while acknowledging data governance challenges and potential deskilling. The episode closes with a discussion of robotic surgery: improved optics and precision and usefulness for more complex cases (including abdominal wall reconstruction), but with concerns about cost, rollout, training implications, and differing adoption between the UK, US, and New Zealand. -- Join us at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress 2026 in London.

Welcome to Tablesetters, where early-season baseball storylines are evaluated through context, projection, and structural impact rather than isolated spring highlights. As camps begin to stabilize, several early narratives are beginning to shape the broader landscape of the 2026 season — from international competition to emerging prospects and roster uncertainty around the league. We begin with the return of the World Baseball Classic, which arrives just as MLB spring training reaches its most competitive stretch. The tournament brings together 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami, running through March 17. Japan enters as the defending champion after defeating Team USA in the 2023 final, while the United States returns with a roster built to pursue redemption. The Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico also enter the tournament with lineups capable of making deep runs. Exhibition games leading into the tournament have already produced early signals. Team USA delivered one of the loudest statements, routing the San Francisco Giants 15–1. Paul Skenes dominated in his outing, striking out four hitters across three innings without issuing a walk, immediately reminding everyone why he has quickly become one of the most overpowering pitchers in the sport. Offensively, Alex Bregman launched a home run while Roman Anthony — a late addition to the roster after Corbin Carroll suffered a broken hand — delivered a two-run homer. The lineup surrounding them featured star power throughout with Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Bobby Witt Jr., and Byron Buxton. Japan's preparation was less smooth. Samurai Japan dropped an exhibition game despite a solo homer from Masataka Yoshida, a reminder that even the defending champions are still working through early-March rhythm. The tournament officially begins when Chinese Taipei faces Australia in Tokyo, opening the round-robin stage where five-team pools compete for two quarterfinal spots. Team USA opens its tournament Friday against Brazil before quickly facing Great Britain, Mexico, and Italy as Pool B begins to take shape. From international baseball we move to a structural shift arriving in Major League Baseball this season: the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system. Rather than replacing home plate umpires entirely, the league is introducing a hybrid model. Each team begins a game with two challenges, and only the pitcher, catcher, or hitter can initiate a challenge immediately after a call. If the challenge is successful, the team keeps it. Spring training has quickly become the testing ground for how teams will actually use the system. The Minnesota Twins have been among the most aggressive teams in challenging calls, leading the league in overturned decisions early in camp as they experiment with the margins of the strike zone. Meanwhile, the Athletics have stood out for efficiency, posting the highest challenge success rate in baseball so far by winning roughly seventy percent of their appeals. Leaguewide data suggests about half of all challenges are overturned, reinforcing the idea that the biggest edge may belong to players with elite strike-zone awareness rather than teams that simply challenge the most. Spring training has also produced several intriguing individual and organizational storylines. In Detroit's system, Kevin McGonigle is beginning to look like one of the most advanced young hitters in professional baseball. The 21-year-old shortstop recently opened an exhibition game by launching the first pitch he saw from former All-Star Luis Severino for a home run. McGonigle's combination of strike-zone discipline, elite contact ability, and emerging power recently earned him an 80-grade hit tool evaluation, the highest grade scouts can assign to a hitter. In limited spring action he has posted a .400/.471/.667 line, further reinforcing the belief that he could eventually become one of the defining hitters of the Tigers' next competitive window. In Colorado, the organization's long search for stability at first base continues more than a decade after Todd Helton's retirement. This spring that conversation centers around Charlie Condon and TJ Rumfield. Condon, the third overall pick in the 2024 draft out of Georgia, arrived in professional baseball with one of the most dominant offensive seasons in recent NCAA history, hitting 37 home runs while batting .433. His raw power could eventually play extremely well at Coors Field. Rumfield represents a different profile — a more experienced hitter who spent all of last season in Triple-A hitting .285 with an .825 OPS. Colorado now faces a familiar decision between accelerating a high-upside prospect or relying on the steadier upper-minors bat. Atlanta is dealing with a far more complicated roster situation. Jurickson Profar is facing a potential 162-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for the second time within the past year. Under MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, a second violation results in a full-season suspension and forfeiture of salary. Profar is expected to appeal the decision through the MLB Players Association, which leaves the Braves in a difficult holding pattern as they attempt to plan their Opening Day roster. If the suspension stands, Atlanta will suddenly need to replace a projected middle-of-the-lineup bat. Finally, one of the most closely watched prospects in baseball continues to generate attention in Pittsburgh. Konnor Griffin, the 19-year-old shortstop and the No. 1 prospect in the sport, has already launched three home runs in limited Grapefruit League action. Griffin's power-speed combination has drawn comparisons to some of the most dynamic young players in the game. Last season he hit .333 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three minor league levels, eventually finishing the year at Double-A. The bigger question now is timing. If Griffin were to make the Opening Day roster, he would become the first teenage hitter to debut in the majors since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1989. The Pirates may still choose to delay that debut for development or service-time reasons, but early spring performances are beginning to make that decision far more complicated. Spring training often produces noise, but the themes beginning to emerge this year feel more substantial: the return of baseball's biggest international tournament, a technological change that could reshape the strike zone conversation, and a wave of young talent preparing to define the next era of the sport. The season is approaching quickly. And the real signals are starting to appear.

Published as a 47-page pamphlet in colonial America on January 10, 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The elegantly plain and persuasive language that Thomas Paine used touched the hearts and minds of the average American and was the first work to openly ask for political freedom and independence from Great Britain. Paine’s powerful words came to symbolize the spirit of the Revolution itself. General George Washington had it read to his troops.

In this segment, we turn our focus to the United Kingdom, examining current political developments alongside the deeper historical roots of immigration in Great Britain. From post-World War II labor shortages and Commonwealth migration to the present era of mass immigration, shifting demographics, and political realignment, we trace how decades of policy decisions have reshaped British society. We also explore the growing discontent with the traditional parties, the collapse of Conservative credibility on immigration, and the emergence of new political forces seeking to address national identity, free speech, and border control—issues that now sit at the center of Britain's cultural and political crossroads.You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

I remember opening a book quite recently and the aroma of the pages instantly transported me back to my days in kindergarten. Of the five human senses, the sense of smell is the most evocative, and the most intangible. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Gary: Welcome to Search the Scriptures 24/7, a radio ministry of The Berean Call with T.A. McMahon. I'm Gary Carmichael. It's great to have you along. In today's program, Tom wraps up a two-part series with guest Rob Congdon as they address the topic: What's New with Calvinism? Here's TBC executive director Tom McMahon.Tom: Thanks, Gary. My guest for our second part of this series is Robert Congdon. He's the founder of Congdon Ministries International, CMI, and it's a ministry, as we mentioned last week, that has sought to assist local churches, earlier in Great Britain and particularly in the US, but now he's expanded the work to include other countries. And, as I mentioned, a primary focus of CMI is dealing with the defense of dispensationalism, premillennialism, and we talked last week about the importance of biblical hermeneutics – how anyone who reads the Bible and wants to know what God is saying…we have two other terms, “exegesis” and “eisegesis.” Well, eisegesis is when we approach the Scriptures with what we want it to say, or imposing our own ideas on it, whereas exegesis is trying to figure out what God is saying, and that's the heart of CMI. And, Rob, welcome back to Search the Scriptures 24/7.
Tell me if this makes sense… We live in a world today characterized by a fetishized pornographic addiction to rape. If it were not so, Law & Order: SVU wouldn’t have made it past a single season – let alone, into SYNdication for nearly 30 years…! I loathe Adorno and the CULTural Marxists who SYNthesized (read: weaponized) Marx and Freud to the general detriment of mankind, beginning with the ‘West’. But, he raised some legit points, as often the baddies do. It’s their SOLUTIONS we all need be wary of. For nigh on 100 years, we’ve basked in the jaundiced glow of the Frankfurt School, as legions of university students continue having their minds and spirits poisoned in the name of ‘Progress’. See also the ancient Roman Collegium, a concept dating back to (at least) the days of Plato – who, incidentally, literally wrote the book on The Republic. I digress… In Adorno’s “Fetish-character” essay, he states, a fetish is a substitute object of desire.[1] I would submit that in the latent undercurrent of this Nietzschean ‘power-evolving universe’ of today’s America; men and women, by and large, secretly harbor a craven desire for rape. It sounds crazy! Until one considers the popularity of Law & Order: SVU for the last 27 years. America is Kung-Fu LARPing, with each new iteration of the ‘fetish substitute object of desire’ further blurring the lines between fantasy and reality (schizoaffective disorder) as we creep ever closer to the Chaos Magick of bringing these secret desires to life. But, beware; LARPing has consequences.[2] The Epstein Saga has been publicly ongoing for 2+ decades. More than a thousand witnesses have come forward – including dozens who’ve accused Trump (E. Jean Carroll) – and yet, only Epstein and Maxwell have been ‘brought to justice’. Speaking of ‘justice’, Thomas Massie probably said it best:[3] Congress created the Department of Justice, Congress funds the Department of Justice, and Congress is responsible for the oversight of the Department of Justice. When will we see justice? I’ll tell you what I’ve not seen. I’ve not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein Files – over 3 million documents describing horrible things, describing unspeakable things, much of it redacted. Over two dozen people have resigned; CEOS, members of government, worldwide. But, I haven’t seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States, from this Department of Justice. Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who has since been stripped of his royalty, his royal titles, due to his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested. Peter Mandelson, who previously served as UK’s Ambassador to the United States, resigned in disgrace from United Kingdom’s House of Lords and the Labor Party, and he’s been arrested. Former Prime Minister of Norway Thorbjorn Jagland has been charged. But, we don’t see any charges, arrests, or investigations in the United States. What do we see? We see our FBI Director celebrating in the locker room at the Olympics overseas. It’s fine to be proud of this country. But, we should be proud of this country because we have a system of justice that works. And yet we do not. … We need justice. We want the Department of Justice to get to work, and that’s what they need to do – now. The Trump (45/47) DOJ is unwilling to rat itself out – and so are the other 77+ million co-conspirators… And then there’s the 77 million co-conspirators who voted for Epstein’s best friend Trump as many as three times, knowing he’d been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, and even after he was found liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll. For 77 million men and women it was not a dealbreaker! He rapes, but he saves. He saves more than he rapes … but he probably does rape.[4] Considering the aforementioned, what would be crazy is not acknowledging America’s fetishized pornographic addiction to rape – which is precisely what we’re doing. We are gaslighting ourselves at this point, as we turn a blind eye to our own culpability. After all – on the eve of America’s 250th Anniversary of Independence – wasn’t this always to be a government of, by, and for The People…? 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; …21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, …24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: …26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. — Romans 1:18, 21–22, 24, 26–32 KJV 4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. — Philippians 4:4–8 KJV #Links Clips [1:58] Etymology (the origins of words) was taken out of schools in the early 1900’s for a reason.

The actor wore what she described as a “prosthetic [redacted]” in her recent movie The Testament of Ann Lee, as she revealed in a Feb. 25 interview with BBC’s The Scott Mills Breakfast Show. “This movie, it needed to be graphic, so, like, I had a prosthetic [redacted],” she said in a clip posted to Instagram, which understandably perplexed Mills himself. When pressed for more details, she surprisingly had a rave review about the experience. “It was cool. It was exciting.” Seyfried plays the real-life Ann Lee, a Christian woman in 18th-century Great Britain who viewed herself as a representative of God and eventually founded a religious sect called Shakers, with the film capturing her group’s move across the pond to New York during the Colonial era. Son of megachurch pastor sentenced after horrific materials found at home ‘among worst investigators have seen’ An Indiana megachurch once known for preaching purity and sexual morality has found itself at the center of a scandal that has shaken a congregation, rattled political allies, and ended with a six-year prison sentence. Jonathan Peternel, 24, of Pendleton, was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in January to one Level 4 felony count of child exploitation and three felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material. The case drew intense public scrutiny not only because of the disturbing evidence uncovered by investigators, but because his father, Nathan Peternel, remains listed as lead pastor at Life Church and is a longtime mentor and close associate of Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith. Why Viewers Say You Should Watch ‘Nymphomaniac’ Alone Due to Its Graphic Scenes Both volumes of Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac are streaming on Netflix in the U.S., and its return to an easy, familiar platform has revived a warning that has followed the film since 2013: ‘Watch this one by yourself.‘ … So why does this movie come with a warning like that? The movie’s name actually answers that on its own. The term nymphomania is used to classify someone who has an uncontrollable compulsion toward sex, and that is exactly what the film follows across 2 volumes and 8 chapters. It opens with a woman named Joe, found beaten in an alley. A man named Seligman brings her home, and she begins telling him the story of her life from her earliest sexual memories through decades of escalating need. Von Trier was telling the story of a woman whose entire life is shaped by a compulsion she cannot control. … The discomfort the audience feels isn’t incidental. It’s the mechanism. Von Trier built the film so that watching it puts you closer to Joe’s experience than any non-explicit version ever could. The surface reading is addiction… What Joe is actually chasing is not sex but connection. Every encounter she describes to Seligman moves her further from other people rather than closer to them. Sex becomes the thing she reaches for because the thing she actually needs keeps slipping out of range. That distance between the act and the need behind it is where von Trier plants the real story. The compulsion is real, but the loneliness underneath it is what he keeps circling back to. He called this technique “Digressionism,” a term he coined to describe a storytelling style that deliberately wanders away from its own plot. He cited Marcel Proust as an influence. Nymphomaniac is the final film in what von Trier and critics call the Depression Trilogy. Following Antichrist in 2009 and Melancholia in 2011. After years infiltrating child exploitation rings, expert reveals an even DARKER American underworld | Blaze Media Demons in the Headlines EXPOSED: The War for Power and Souls in D.C. | Strange Encounters | Ep 29 – YouTube [31:30–33:26] Back to the politics piece; everybody within politics – even if they disagree with exploitation or whatever – they show partiality. And, I believe it’s, is it second Peter? … It says, ‘where partiality exists, exists every form of deceit and evil’. We can look it up … but I think that’s it. But, where partiality exists, exists all forms of evil. ***[Did he mean this passage?]For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. – James 3:16–17 KJV*** And, what is happening in our political world that I’ve that I’ve seen now is; you have career politicians – even if they claim to be Christians – they sell access. And, it might be access to conservative organizations. But, they sell access – and they’re partial to donors. … they’re unbelievably partial. And, they’re partial to their ‘club’, as opposed to the people they’re elected to represent. And, you have a bureaucracy that’s in place, and you have these elitists that are in place, that think that they can buy – because they have been able to buy your position – buy you, buy access to you, or buy access to somebody else, and ‘own’ – in this case, a US Senator, what I’m running for. But, it’s across the board for everything; Congressmen, even the President … Everything’s for sale. And, it’s ‘access’ that they’re selling, right? And, that’s the thing that stood out to me the most; partiality. More proof / Trump-Epstein Saga DOJ’s Epstein Files Screwups Get Worse With Unredacted Nudes and Images of Kids The Justice Department is under fire after newly released Jeffrey Epstein case materials reportedly included unredacted nude images and photos involving minors. Analysis by CNN uncovered nearly 100 explicit pictures of two naked young women on a beach, the news outlet reported. The materials also included photos showing a young girl kissing Epstein on the cheek. At least one unredacted image depicted Epstein alongside a nude female, and additional selfie-style nude photos of at least two other unidentified females were also published, with their ages unclear, according to CNN. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Congress passed and President Trump signed in late November, the DOJ is obligated to omit sexually explicit imagery and anything that might identify victims. The images have now been redacted.

When will we see justice? I’ll tell you what I’ve not seen. I’ve not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein Files – over 3 million documents describing horrible things, describing unspeakable things – much of it redacted. Over two dozen people have resigned; CEOs, members of government, worldwide. But, I haven’t seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States, from this Department of Justice. Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who has since been stripped of his royalty, his royal titles, due to his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested. Peter Mandelson, Who previously served as UK’s Ambassador to the United States, resigned in disgrace from United Kingdom’S House of Lords and the Labor Party, and he’s been arrested. Former Prime Minister of Norway, Thorbjorn Jagland has been charged. But, we don’t see any charges, arrests, or investigations in the United States. What do we see? We see our FBI Director celebrating in the locker room at the Olympics overseas. It’s fine to be proud of this country. But, we should be proud of this country because we have a system of justice that works. And yet we do not. Who are the men that should be investigated? I’ll name them right here. Leon Black; you don’t even have to see past the redactions to see that this man needs to be investigated. Jess Staley; accused of terrible things, it’s right there in the files. Why is he not being investigated? And, Leslie Wexner; why did the FBI list him as a co-conspirator in their own documents in a child sex trafficking case, and then tell him, according to him, that they had no questions for him? Why is that? Well, the Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the DOJ and the FBI to disclose to us their internal memos and emails about how they made those decisions, whether to prosecute or not prosecute. Yet, they have not delivered those memos. And, we still don’t have the memos and documents and emails from 2008, to explain why Jeffrey Epstein was given such a light sentence in what would have been an open and shut case of child sex trafficking, which allowed him to go back and recommit these terrible crimes, create hundreds of more victims, and ensnare so many other people in his conspiracy. Where are those documents that describe those decisions? We need justice. We want the Department of Justice to get to work, and that’s what they need to do – now!

Noah Webster—master linguist and author of the 1828 dictionary—built his work on the unshakable foundation of God's written Word, the King James Bible. Webster knew 28 languages and compiled more than 70,000 words, yet he understood a truth that many ignore today: human reason alone can't preserve morality or sustain a free nation. Without God's Word, people lose their anchor.In May 1948, the United States and Great Britain helped establish the modern State of Israel—a nation preserved for God's purposes throughout Scripture. Israel's existence guards God's truth, prepares the world for Christ's return, and stands as a testimony to prophecy fulfilled. Though surrounded by 21 hostile nations in the driest part of the fertile crescent, Israel remains at the center of God's unfolding plan.Today, Scripture, the Savior, and the saints are all woven into the prophetic events happening before our eyes. Every day, God's revelation becomes clearer. And the King James Bible reminds us: “Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep.” The fields are white unto harvest, and the opportunity before us to reach souls is greater than ever.This episode calls us to lift our eyes, sharpen our discernment, and recognize the signs of the times. Jesus is coming soon—and the urgency of the Gospel has never been more real.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

The Olympics are over and Des and Kara are going through withdrawal like so many of you. Fortunately, we have some fun running news to keep us occupied and to ease the pain... After the usual life updates, they dig into the new 800m, indoor world record, set by Keely Hodgkinson from Great Britain. She faced some injuries last summer which meant only a bronze medal at the World Champs in Tokyo. Now, she is healthy, already blazing the indoor oval, and her splits indicate that there might be even more in the tank. Des and Kara break it all down. Then, they introduce you to the 6th fastest US marathoner ever, who no one had ever heard of him until this past weekend. Meet Ethan Shuley, a 27-year-old American from Kentucky who lives and trains in Tokyo. He just threw down a 2:07 in Japan with no sponsor after steady gains over the last 18 months. Who is Ethan? What does this mean? How was it possible? And what are the implications for the US Marathon Trials for LA? Finally, they give you their top Olympics moments as the Games have wrapped, while also explaining the mixed emotions of watching the Closing Ceremonies as a competitor.

What if excellence doesn't come from pressure, but from presence?In this episode, CJ welcomes UK-based sculptor and former world champion archer Ian Edwards, a man who has lived at the highest levels of both elite sport and masterful craftsmanship. Ian has competed internationally for Great Britain and spent decades refining his artistic practice. And through both disciplines, he discovered a simple but transformative truth: performance rises naturally when the mind becomes quiet and the heart leads.Ian shares how intense competition didn't create anxiety for him. It created presence. As pressure increased, his mind grew still. The quieter it became, the better he could shoot. He recognized this state from a lifetime of sculpting, that moment where there is no self, only you and the work. A state he calls Performance Through Presence.Together, CJ and Ian explore the unseen intelligence quietly guiding our lives, the deeper order revealed through synchronicity, and the frustration that arises when we chase outcomes instead of honoring what we love. Ian speaks openly about growing up severely dyslexic, not fitting into traditional education, and discovering that presence gave him access to his full potential. They discuss how the conceptual mind can rob us of our ability when it leads, and how true fulfillment arises only in the present moment.You are not separate from life unfolding. You are part of it. And when the mind serves the heart, something extraordinary becomes possible.To explore more of Ian's sculpture and writing, visit his website and follow him on Instagram at instagram.com/ianedwardsstudios for a deeper look into his work and philosophy.Listen. Slow down. And return to presence.Want to learn more about CJ Miller? Check out his Spiritual Artist Retreats, 1:1 Personal Coaching, and Speaking Engagements at www.spiritualartisttoday.com. His retreats are designed to help you reconnect with your Creative Intelligence and express your true artistic voice.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the agonizing political and strategic choices faced by Great Britain in the 1930s.Why did the British government delay rearmament for so long? Drawing on Daniel Todman's Britain's War: Into Battle, we examine how the shadow of the First World War and the Great Depression shaped the policy of appeasement. Nick argues that the "caution" of the Baldwin and Chamberlain governments wasn't just cowardice; it was a desperate attempt to avoid the "total war" that would require the complete subordination of freedom and prosperity to the state.From the technological leap from biplanes to monoplanes to the "imperial overstretch" that left Singapore and Palestine vulnerable, we delve into the global chessboard of the late 30s. How did the need to defend an empire spanning the globe leave Britain dangerously exposed in Europe? And why was the fall of Singapore written into the strategic compromises of the 1920s?Plus: Details on our upcoming Nazi Germany Masterclass in March!Key Topics:The Rearmament Debate: Why a "Churchillian" surge in 1935 might have failed.Technological Change: The shift from fabric biplanes to the Spitfire and Hurricane.Imperial Overstretch: The impossible task of defending the UK, the Mediterranean, and the Far East simultaneously.The Palestine Mandate: How the Arab Revolt of 1936 tied down British troops needed elsewhere.Books Mentioned:Britain's War: Into Battle (1937-1941) by Daniel TodmanEnglish History 1914-1945 by A.J.P.

Published as a 47-page pamphlet in colonial America on January 10, 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The elegantly plain and persuasive language that Thomas Paine used touched the hearts and minds of the average American and was the first work to openly ask for political freedom and independence from Great Britain. Paine’s powerful words came to symbolize the spirit of the Revolution itself. General George Washington had it read to his troops.
