The morning of Thursday, November 20, 1969 started with a bang for the islanders on the Windward coast of Saint Vincent Island. For some, it was like the gods had finally gotten around to answering their prayers. A huge party broke out on the beach shortly after sunrise.And within hours, it spread to dozens of nearby villages.  But as the weekend progressed, the locals realized that something was horribly wrong, and that the once-in-a-lifetime windfall was actually a curse in disguise.  Cultural BackgroundSt. Vincent and the Grenadines, or SVG, is located in the southwestern Caribbean between Saint Lucia to the north and Barbados and Grenada to the south. The country is made up of 32 islands and cays and only has about 150 square miles (390 square km) of territory – most of which is on the northernmost island of Saint Vincent. Saint Vincent is also home to the capital of Kingstown – not to be confused with Kingston, Jamaica, which is nearly 1,100 miles (1,770 km) to the northwest.  In the late 1960s, SVG had a population of about 95,000 residents – about two-thirds of whom were natives of African descent. By some estimates, nearly three-quarters of the population worked in banana production which accounted for the lion's share of the country's economy. The locals worked hard on their small family plots and eked out comfortable if modest livings. And when it was time for recreation, they usually engaged in the island's most quintessential pastime – liming. In layman's terms, liming is slang for relaxing, gossipping, and enjoying the pleasant weather and beautiful scenery with friends and family.  And sometimes, they threw in another element – uber-strong island “overproof” rum called Jack Iron. And by strong, we're talking about 150 to 180-proof.  To put that into perspective, most spirits like Scotch, vodka and American bourbon are 80-proof, or 40% alcohol by volume. By comparison, 180-proof Jack Iron is more than twice as strong – or about 90% alcohol by volume.  And unlike Scotch and Bourbon, it's clear because the locals drink it immediately after distillation instead of aging it in oak barrels. Most Jack Iron is produced in small home stills where quality control is minimal. And due to its potency, it smells more like an industrial solvent than an intoxicating beverage fit for human consumption. As for how it got its name, one common explanation is that consuming it makes drinkers feel like they've been whalloped in the head with an iron car jack. Then again, the “iron” may be a reference to masculine constitution. As in, you pretty much have to be made of iron to drink it because it packs such a punch. From the immediate numbing of the lips and mouth, to the face-twisting throat burn to the final kick in the abdomen when the liquid finally enters the stomach, the experience is nothing short of unforgettable.  In fact, Jack Iron is so entrenched in the local culture that islanders usually pour a small portion of every new bottle onto the ground so deceased ancestors can enjoy it too. And fishermen, laborers and banana farms often take a few nips before starting their day as a way of fortifying themselves against the strenuous work ahead. But as ubiquitous as Jack Iron is, the islanders generally disapprove of public drunkenness. Actually, they revere drinkers who can hold their liquor. The goal is to consume just enough to get a jolt before work or to take the edge off while liming away a lazy afternoon. But when the conditions are just right – like they were in the fall of 1969 – the islanders aren't afraid to let loose and throw caution to the wind.Shipwreck On the night of Wednesday, November 19, the 90-ton schooner, Ruth 114, was traveling from Trinidad to Martinique carrying a dozen casks of Jack Iron, 100 drums of methanol – or wood alcohol – and 150 drums of aviation fuel called avgas. Before continuing on, it's worth pointing out that the drums of fuel and methanol were marked with big, red “DANGER” warnings. Anyway..the storm got so bad by 3:00 the following morning that the schooner sustained serious sail and rudder damage, sprung a leak, and began filling up with seawater. The eight-man crew tried in vain to save the vessel and its valuable cargo. But before long, Captain Kenneth Richardson saw the writing on the wall and ordered everyone to abandon ship. At the time, they were within sight of the beach at Colonarie on Saint Vincent's Windward coast.The crew launched a lifeboat, rowed to shore safely and watched the listing schooner disappear into the darkness. After that, it drifted in the heavy seas before turning landward and running aground at Big Level Beach near the village of Sandy Bay.And when the sun came up, curious villagers waded out into the surf, climbed aboard, inspected the damaged vessel and quickly began relieving it of its precious cargo. By then, Captain Richardson had alerted the police and told them where he thought the schooner would be. Two vessels from Kingstown were dispatched to locate the Ruth 114 shortly thereafter, but they never found it. PartyLuckily, the hardest part of the salvage operation was getting the drums and casks over the gunwale and into the surf.And since the drums floated, it was just a matter of pushing them toward land and rolling them onto the beach. In less than an hour, dozens of drums and casks were lined up just waiting to be tapped. And before long, word spread to nearby villages like Owia, Sandy Bay, Rose Bank and Orange Hill that there was enough Iron Jack rum to keep everybody buzzed for weeks on end.  Within the hour, the beach was crowded with hundreds of locals intent on getting their fair share. For many, it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime “Manna from Heaven” moment. Or in local terms, a gift from the sea. There was also a sense of urgency, because everyone knew it was only a matter of time before the police showed up, confiscated the cargo and brought the impromptu party to a grinding halt.  As such, the wood casks containing the Jack Iron rum were immediately tapped. It's unclear if it turned into a free-for-all or if the locals who made the discovery managed to maintain some semblance or order. Whatever the case, the villagers began filling up everything from coffee cups and teapots to glass jars and empty soda bottles. And in the chaos, they also opened the metal drums and began consuming the avgas and methanol– even though they were clearly marked with big warning signs and ominous red Xs. Like Jack Iron, avgas and methanol are usually relatively clear. So in the heat of the moment, it's not that surprising that they didn't notice they weren't drinking the real thing. Of course, the question was, couldn't they taste and smell the difference?  After all, avgas is a lot like gasoline. And methanol has even more of a kick than Jack Iron. Nonetheless, they apparently weren't aware that they were consuming potentially deadly substances. And by then, some of them had already consumed real Jack Iron which lowered their inhibitions, numbed their taste beds, and made their noses far less sensitive than they would have otherwise been. As for the methanol and avgas, some of the partiers turned it into punch by adding sugar, water and lime juice which masked the taste and smell even more. In the early going, the grateful revelers felt like they always did after drinking intoxicating spirits..warm, tipsy, and downright jovial.With so many drums, the party continued throughout the day, into the night and well into the weekend. That said, the furor eventually died down as the crowd dispersed.  And at that moment, the islanders who found the schooner decided that they had a rare opportunity to make some serious money. And with that, they began selling what was left.After that, the buyers took what they thought was bona fide Jack Iron rum back to their homes and businesses where they consumed it, sold it, and gave it to close friends and family members in their own villages and other villages up and down the coast.  Aftermath/Medical ResponseThe fun and festive atmosphere took an alarming and unexpected turn about a day later. By then, many of the formerly happy villagers were experiencing serious symptoms including dizziness, loss of motor skills, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting, as well as blurry vision like they were viewing their surroundings through a blinding snowstorm. Interestingly, not everyone who came down with these symptoms drank that much. At that point, they had no idea what was happening. But below the surface, their bodies were busy metabolizing the methanol and avgas into toxic formaldehyde and formic acid. Patients began showing up at local clinics en masse on November 22 and 23. And by the following day, ambulances from all over the island began arriving at Kingstown General Hospital. In a matter of hours, the facility and its woefully unprepared staff were dealing with hundreds of sick patients, many of who were teetering on the edge of death. Writhing, moaning, vomiting, and in some cases comatose islanders were crammed into every nook and cranny. Many were relegated to straw mats on both sides of the already-cramped corridors because the rooms were totally full. By then, the hospital staff knew about the shipwreck and the liquid from the metal drums that the sick patients consumed. The problem was, they had no way of knowing if they drank straight methanol or avgas which was actually a mixture of fuel, methanol and other toxic hydrocarbons.And to make matters worse, they couldn't pump the pati

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Celebrate the holidays with us with a throwback episode as we open a window onto a season where streets become stages, kitchens turn into archives, and every drumbeat and carol carries a story. From the clatter of cowbells in Nassau to the smoky crackle of a roast pig on Christmas Eve, the region's holidays reveal how history lives in sound, taste, and togetherness. We start with the pulse of festival culture: Junkanoo's lavish costumes and goatskin drums marching down Bay Street in the Bahamas, and the Boxing Day launches in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis, Belize, and Montserrat. Each celebration stitches heritage to the present—months of planning, bursts of creativity, and a shared promise to meet at dawn. Then we head to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where Nine Mornings wakes neighborhoods at 4 a.m. with concerts and games, culminating in a joyful jump up that proves community thrives when people gather before sunrise.Our journey continues into homes and churches. In Suriname, Godo Pa—Dearest Daddy—arrives on December 6 with gifts and poems, a post-independence figure who replaces Old World icons with a reflection of local identity. Across the Spanish Caribbean, Noche Buena brings families to the table for lechón, yuca, and music that lasts late into Christmas Eve, while Three Kings Day keeps the season open into January as children leave grass and water for the camels and wake to gifts beneath the bed. These customs hold the region's layered past while nurturing the joy that keeps people close. No Caribbean holiday is complete without music. Parang bands roam neighborhoods in Grenada, and parang-soca lights up Trinidad and Tobago with door-to-door harmonies.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened marginal down this morning from yesterday's close, at 28,385 on turnover of 4.1-billion N-T. The market gained ground on Wednesday, as investors were optimistic that the U-S Federal Reserve would cut its key interest rates for a third time this year following its policy making meeting. While reports that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing will produce Nvidia's high-performance H-200 A-I chips and they will be made here in Taiwan also drove investor confidence higher. MOFA thanks allies for their support at annual Interpol meeting The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it has thanked eight formal diplomatic allies for supporting Taiwan's bid to participate in Interpol during the agency's annual General Assembly in Morocco late last month. According to the ministry, senior officials from the Marshall Islands, Belize, Saint Christopher and Nevis, Guatemala, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Paraguay, and Eswatini all spoke up on Taiwan's behalf. The foreign ministry says it delayed publicly thanking the allies until now because the assembly was held in a closed-door format (模式,格式), and it needed time to collect information on their respective addresses. Former digital minister warns TSMC faces rising cybersecurity risks Former Digital Affairs Minister Huang Yen-nan is warning that cyberattacks could be the most effective way for hostile actors to damage Taiwan's semiconductor advantage. According to Huang, companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing need to strengthen precautions. The former digital minister now heads (領導) Academia Sinica's Taiwan Information Security Center. Speaking at a conference on geopolitics and chip strategy, Huang said T-S-M-C's global influence has grown with A-I, making it "too big to fail," as any disruption to its production a national security concern. Venezuela Opposition Leader Appears in Public Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has appeared in public for the first time in 11 months. She appeared on a hotel balcony in Norway's capital early this morning and waved to supporters. Her daughter accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf (代表她) a day earlier. Machado had been in hiding since Jan. 9 after being briefly detained during a protest in Caracas. She was expected to attend the award ceremony Wednesday in Oslo but couldn't make it in time. EU leaders reject Trump "weak" comment European leaders have rejected claims (聲稱) from U.S. President Donald Trump that the continent is run by weak people. William Denselow reports from Brussels. Study: HumanClimateChange Caused Deadly Rainfall in Asia New analysis suggests that ocean temperatures warmed by human-caused climate change fed the intense rainfall that triggered deadly floods and landslides across Asia in recent weeks. The rapid study by World Weather Attribution focused on heavy rainfall from cyclones Senyar and Ditwah in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka starting late last month. The analysis found that warmer sea surface temperatures over the North Indian Ocean added energy to the cyclones. Floods and landslides triggered by (觸發於) the storms have killed more than 1,600 people, with hundreds more still missing. The cyclones are the latest in a series of deadly weather disasters affecting Southeast Asia this year, resulting in loss of life and property damage. That was the I.C.R.T.

Dante Ollivierre sees stories everywhere. On the streets of Kingstown, in the quiet corners of St Vincent and the Grenadines, in the faces of people who carry their histories with pride. He is a director and creative director who listens closely, then shapes what he hears into images that breathe. His early training at Saint Vincent Community College helped sharpen his eye, but his instinct for truth is entirely his own. As a multidisciplinary storyteller, Dante pursues the kind of honesty that cannot be staged. He works to draw out raw performances, the kind that linger long after the screen fades to black. His background in documentary and corporate film production gives him a steady hand, yet his heart stays open to surprise. Each project becomes a search for a moment when real life steps into the frame. That dedication has carried him into new territory as an emerging filmmaker. Dante has led the production of documentaries and corporate films for the French Public Agency for International Technical Cooperation, working within the Expertise France program for the Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories. His repertoire reaches across documentary films, music videos, and commercials, where he shifts with ease between bright aspirational energy and moody dramatic tension. Whatever the tone, he brings a sense of intention that holds the work together. As Founder & Creative Director of Offhand, Dante continues to expand his voice. His recent project, Bush Medicine: Stories that Remember the Land, invites listeners and viewers into the deep memory of place, showing how art can reconnect people to what sustains them. The Visual Intonation Podcast follows this journey, exploring how Dante builds meaning from light, sound, and human connection. Each episode becomes a lesson in how a filmmaker learns to see. Dante Ollivierre's Socials: Source: Instagram Danté (@danteollivierre) • Instagram photos and videos  Source: Vimeo Dante Ollivierre - Vimeo  Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Two closely watched surveys of U.S. manufacturing activity painted sharply divergent pictures in November, with one showing continued expansion and the other reporting accelerating contraction, highlighting deep uncertainty about the sector's health amid ongoing adjustment to the new rules of global trade. The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI registered 52.2 in November, marking the fourth consecutive month above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. However, the reading slipped from 52.5 in October. By contrast, the ISM Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.2, down from 48.7 in October and marking the ninth consecutive month of contraction. The divergence places the two surveys on opposite sides of the expansion-contraction divide, an unusual occurrence that suggests significantly different conditions across the manufacturing landscape.  https://twitter.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1995904464625000594?s=20   the national debt.

Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro is becoming increasingly isolated as regional governments shift away from Chavismo and move closer to Washington. Honduras and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, once reliable partners for Caracas, have both elected new governments that pledged to distance themselves from Maduro.  Honduras   Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Bolivia have also deteriorated as those countries shifted to the right. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, both U.S. territories, have seen a renewed military buildup, with fighter jets and transport aircraft operating from Cold War-era facilities such as Roosevelt Roads and new activity at St. Croix's airport. Grenada is considering a U.S. request to host temporary radar equipment and personnel at Maurice Bishop International Airport. The government is still weighing technical and safety concerns, and the decision is complicated by the 1983 U.S. invasion and the airport's symbolic significance. Colombia remains the strongest partner, working closely with the United States on counter-narcotics, sanctions enforcement, and intelligence sharing, while also coordinating policy on the region's largest population of Venezuelan refugees. Paraguay and Uruguay consistently vote with Washington at the OAS to isolate Maduro and support democratic transition efforts. Ecuador works with the United States on organized crime, Venezuelan gang activity, and sanctions evasion, and has been publicly critical of the regime.  Maduro's remaining allies in the region are Cuba and Nicaragua, but neither is positioned to provide meaningful assistance.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 47-points this morning from Friday's close, at 27,674 on turnover of 7.5-billion N-T. The market closed slightly higher Friday, as positive investor sentiment carried over from the previous session amid hopes that the U-S Federal Reserve will cut key interest rates later this month. Taiwan's ambassador meets with new SVG leader Taiwan's ambassador to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has met with the newly elected prime minister of the Caribbean ally, Godwin Friday, to convey (傳達) congratulations from President Lai Ching-te. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Ambassador Fiona Fan delivered Lai's message during their meeting, and that the prime minister asked her to relay (傳達) his thanks in return. The ministry has not said when the meeting took place or provided any further details. However, the meeting took place as Friday's New Democratic Party has previously proposed switching recognition from Taiwan to Beijing. CAA confirms that local airlines have completed Airbus A320 software fix And, The Civil Aviation Administration has confirmed that local airlines completed the required software restoration on Airbus A320-series aircraft before a 7AM deadline on Sunday. The software restoration followed an emergency directive (指示) issued after a technical failure in the U-S. Airbus announced on Friday that around 6,000 A320-family jets worldwide must undergo software updates and may not be operated without the fix. The announcement come after reports of a flight-control system malfunction linked to solar flare interference. Honduras Presidential Vote Hondurans are voting to elect new president in a close race under shadow of Trump's surprise intervention (干涉). AP correspondent Rica Ann Garcia reports Report: Global Arms Producers Saw Revenue Increase A new report says that the world's biggest weapons-producing companies saw a 5.9% increase in revenue from sales of arms and military services last year as demand was fed by (由…供給/提供) the wars in Ukraine and Gaza as well as countries' rising military spending. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute says today that the revenues of the 100 largest arms makers grew to $679 billion in 2024, the highest figure it has recorded. The bulk of the increase was down to companies based in Europe and the United States, but there were increases around the world — except in Asia and Oceania, where problems in the Chinese arms industry led to a slight fall.

When sitting with Sylvia Barchue, you instantly realize you are in the presence of a confident woman, a real go-getter. As a young girl, she knew she wanted to be a nurse. With her caring nature and career goals in mind, Sylvia was just 19 years old when she left her native country, the beautiful island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, to attend nursing school in the UK. She lived with her aunt prior to attending nursing school. Sylvia successfully trained in a rigorous 3-year program. On completion she decided she wanted to specialize in critical care and completed a yearlong postgraduate training leading to critical care certification. It was a natural fit for Sylvia. On completing her nursing program and critical care certification, she was offered a position in America. In the early 1980's at the young age of 31, she moved to Arkansas to help in the completion of a new hospital where she designed the intensive care unit, commencing a new chapter of her career. In retrospect she credits her arrival in Arkansas as being the best place of entry for a nurse in the USA as it being the place with the best patient advocacy at the time, she was motivated to get started in a career here, but on the birth of her son she realized that raising her son as a black man in the South could bring more challenges so she moved east to be closer to family whose support would be pivotal to her success. She shares the various obstacles she managed as a newly arrived immigrant having worked professionally outside of the U.S. while navigating a new culture as a black woman. It was this move that would launch her career with the VA- Veterans Administration. Working in the Bronx, NY, she began to build collaborative relationships with her colleagues and held her staff accountable to professional standards. She earned respect and moved up the ranks quickly establishing a stellar reputation. Sylvia had a vision, and her creative leadership brought new programs to the VA and ultimately, to benefit their patients. Her impact was uncontainable as she expanded her career into research, working on numerous publications with doctors and nurses who revered her opinions regarding patient care. She retired after 38 years at the VA in the Bronx but not without making last impact and imprinting her love and compassion to not only the patients, families, but to the 450 staff persons she supervised daily and at times the over 2000 when she was the sole executive on station. She expresses deep gratitude for her professional training, but attributes her successful career to the professional relationships she cultivated on her journey as a nurse, nurse supervisor, administrator, and hospital executive as well as the love and support her family gave her along the way.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Sacred land, contested memory, and a centuries-long fight for sovereignty, this conversation with Dr. Garrey Dennie traces the deep antiquity of the Kalinago in St. Vincent, their transformation into a maritime powerhouse, and the strategic choices that delayed European domination for generations. Instead of a single “first contact,” we explore two: the catastrophic arrival of Europeans and the liberatory meeting of Kalinago communities with Africans who escaped or were freed from bondage.Dr. Dennie unpacks genocide as a 300-year process, where pathogens, forced labor, and scorched-earth campaigns worked in tandem to clear land for sugar and slavery. He explains how the union that produced the Garifuna did more than build solidarity; it created a hybrid identity with immunological resilience that helped communities survive. From the First and Second Carib Wars to the brutal detention on Baliceaux and the mass exile of 1797, we follow the pivotal moments that transformed St. Vincent and, paradoxically, shortened its time as a British slave society through relentless resistance.We also step inside a landmark scholarly effort: the forthcoming multi-volume Native Genocide and African Enslavement in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He is one of four Vincentian historians co-authoring the series that restores Indigenous and Garifuna perspectives to the center, bridges archaeology and epidemiology with political history, and invites listeners to reconsider where homeland and belonging truly reside. If you're ready to move beyond textbook myths and confront the intertwined stories of survival, identity, and power, this episode offers a clear, compelling path forward.Dr. Garrey Dennie is an Associate Professor of History at St. Mary's College of Maryland and a founder of its Program in African and African Diaspora Studies.  He obtained his first degree at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill and his Ph. D at The Johns Hopkins University.  Dr. Dennie has also lectured at the University of the West Indies at the Mona campus in Jamaica.  Dr. Dennie has produced and published original scholarship on the politics of death in modern South Africa. And in the greatest privilege of his life, Dr. Dennie served as a speechwriter for Nelson Mandela in the battle to destroy white rule in apartheid South Africa.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Selling was seen almost across the board with non-tech stocks under heavy pressure throughout the session. Analysts say ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to put tariffs on imports to the United States also cast a shadow over future prospects. Allies Urge Taiwan Participation in UN Taiwan's diplomatic allies are once again urging the U.N. to allow the island's meaningful participation in the global body. At the close of the 80th United Nations General Assembly debate yesterday, St. Lucia's foregin minister Alva Baptiste emphasized that relevant UN resolutions do not prohibit or exclude (把…排斥在外) Taiwan's participation in the UN system. While St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Terrance Drew said earlier during the meeting that allowing Taiwan to contribute to public health, technology, and disaster relief is not about taking sides, but about pragmatism (實用主義). He stressed that excluding Taiwan from organizations like the World Health Organization and the International Civil Aviation Organization harms the world's ability to solve problems together. Allies, including St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Paraguay, the Marshall Islands, Palau, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Tuvalu, and Eswatini, all called on the U.N. to welcome Taiwan.

Here's 81-year-old Father Ron Knott in a wide ranging conversation with Terry Meiners on Heaven, humor, the impact of prayers, sin, loneliness, and living life as a Catholic priest.bio from his website at fatherknott.comI am a priest of the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky. Ordained May 16, 1970, I have served as a home missionary, college teacher, campus minister, pastor, cathedral rector, traveling evangelist, homiletics instructor, archdiocesan vocation director, founding director of the Saint Meinrad Seminary Institute for Priests and Presbyterates and a weekly columnist for 15 years.I have given major addresses at national conventions on church renovation, parish revitalization, homiletics, presbyteral unity and vocations. I have presented more than 80 parish missions and retreats and led more than 150 presbyteral convocations around the US and nine countries abroad.I have a Master of Divinity degree from Saint Meinrad School of Theology in Indiana and a Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick Presbyterian Seminary in Chicago. I have authored several books for clergy and published several collections of my homilies and fifteen volumes of my For the Record book series. A few of my books for clergy are available in Spanish, Vietnamese and Swahili.In my retirement, besides the things listed above, I had been volunteering in the Diocese of Kingstown in the island country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and serving as the founder of the Catholic Second Wind Guild (a volunteer organization for retired priests and lay people wanting to volunteer their time, expertise, connections in the Caribbean missions). After six years and twelve trips, I recently ended that organization due to COVID and travel restriction. With a major volcano eruption, it has become obvious that I need to make a wise and timely decision to find a cause closer to home. Long distance travels seem to be a “thing of the past” at least for the foreseeable future.In April of 2021, I decided to focus my attention on my home parish of Saint Theresa of Avila an hour away from where I now live. I have the dream of turning my old grade school building, Saint Theresa School which was closed in 1993, into a new Saint Theresa Family Life Center to serve the whole area.  My third cousin, Father Bob Ray, another priest from the same parish, is partnering with me by founding the Saint Theresa Heritage Partners, an alumni organization of the parish and school, to support this effort. I will lead the remodeling project of the Saint Theresa Family Life Center. Click on St. Theresa Heritage Partners and St. Theresa Family Life Center in the menu bar for more information.

Meet Captain David Kilmer, a man whose life has been transformed by the sea. An accomplished sailor and storyteller, David Kilmer's journey began when his father launched a little wooden boat for him, named Skipper-N-Dad. This early experience sparked a lifelong love for the sea, leading to his first bluewater passage at the age of 25, a transformative 2,300-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean. By his early 30s, David Kilmer had already embarked on a life less ordinary. He ran off to the Caribbean, driven by a desire to become a boat captain, and spent five seasons working in the Grenadines. His book A Peril To Myself and Others is a vivid portrayal of those colorful and tumultuous times, a testament to the adventurous spirit that has always defined him. His latest book, The Way of the Sailor, is a captivating set of seagoing essays, meditations, and small adventures that explores what it truly means to be a sailor, the challenges and joys of life at sea, and ultimately, how to better navigate life itself. His books often delve into themes of adventure, self-discovery, and the beauty of the open ocean. From 2009 to 2019, David and his co-captain, Rebecca, cruised their 36-foot sailing sloop from Bellingham, Washington, to the Bahamas with stops in 12 countries, including Cuba and a transit of the Panama Canal along the route. Their journey was not just a personal adventure, but a testament to David's expertise and passion for sailing. David is the captain of the private sailing yacht Sizzler.

This week we are co-broadcasting the premiere episode of a new podcast series entitled Quantum Leadership. It is helmed by Dr Stephen Sideroff, a dear friend and one of my first podcast guests as well as the cohost of several of our episodes. It is a true pleasure to share this episode of his new podcast in its entirely this week. Please let us know how you like it and if you would like to see more of these. Steve interviews Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This conversation unveils the profound dimensions of leadership that transcend conventional theories in this riveting conversation. With eloquence born from decades of service, he dismantles the myth that leaders must come from privilege, sharing his journey from a barefoot village boy to becoming his nation's longest-serving Prime Minister.Gonsalves articulates a compelling leadership framework built on energy, will, vision, skill, and what he terms "the X factor" – the rare ability to draw out qualities from people they don't yet recognize in themselves. This capacity to uncover "hidden rationalities" and untapped potential within communities stands at the heart of transformative leadership.The conversation extends to healing collective trauma through conscious leadership, highlighting efforts to reclaim Balliceaux Island—a site of indigenous genocide—and advance reparations for historical injustices. These initiatives reflect Gonsalves' understanding that leadership must address both material development and psychological healing, ultimately working toward creating "whole daughters and whole sons out of the compromise that history has made us all."Listen now to experience leadership wisdom that challenges conventional thinking and offers a more holistic, love-centered approach to creating positive change.https://drstephensideroff.com/Lies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter - https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (20% off 'LUFKIN20') https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (15% off) https://pathlongevity.com/Mimio Health (15% off 'LUFKIN') https://mimiohealth.sjv.io/c/5810114/2745519/30611 Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertlufkinmd Threads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdBluesky: ...

Since scholarship on the topic discussed is limited, a large portion of the details heard on this episode was taken from “The Making of ‘The Comrade': The Political Journey of Ralph Gonsalves" by Ralph GonsalvesToday, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves is the one of the longest serving head of government in Caribbean history. As of this episode recording, he is the current prime minister of St.Vincent and the Grenadines - a post he has held since 2001. Beloved throughout the region, he has affectionately called Uncle Ralph and Comrade Ralph. But back in the 1970's, this affection was non-existent as he was persona non-grata throughout the Eastern Caribbean.For additional reading information on this episode and to view our transcript for this episode, visit our website at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tenementyaadmedia.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Don't forget to follow us on our social mediaTwitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/tenementyaad_?lan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlueSky: ⁠⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/tenementyaadmedia.com⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tenementyaad_/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@tenementyaad_⁠⁠⁠Join our Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to support The Yaad monetary?

“I had to really sit down and look at the journey, how far I've come, what I was able to accomplish in such a short time in my opinion, and just everything that I went through. It doesn't haunt me. Like I said, I'm a graceful loser. But I'm training and I'm doing the work to make sure that if I'm ever in that position again – we'll see!” My guest for today's episode is Shafiqua Maloney, a name that maybe most track and field fans don't know, but should. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, she made history as the first athlete from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to reach an Olympic final and finish fourth in the women's 800m, but her journey to that starting line was anything but easy. In the past few years, Shafiqua has faced struggles that most athletes never talk about – months of homelessness, the constant battle of pursuing an elite career without a sponsor or financial stability. Yet through it all, she never gave up. With the unwavering support of her mother, her coach, and her faith, she found a way to persevere and it all came together in Paris where she ran 1:57 on the biggest stage in the sport. Today, we talk about how she fought through those times, what it means to represent her country on such a big stage, and what comes next for an athlete determined to keep proving she belongs among the world's best. She'll be one of the headliners for the 2025 Millrose Games on February 8th in New York City. If you're in the area, get your tickets now.

Canada's Justin Trudeau on brink of resigning, Swiss gov’t removed 16-year-old girl from parents over trans issue, Two by Twos cult involved in child abuse

It's Tuesday, December 17h, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian pastor killed by Muslim extremist On December 6th, another Christian pastor was killed in Nigeria, Africa -- this time in Jalingo, a town in the Taraba State.  A Christian woman was also killed around the same time. Residents report at least a hundred killings in the area since the beginning of the year — as far as those that have been reported. The murders are conducted by Muslim extremists. The top 10 most dangerous nations in the world, according to their murder rates per 100,000 people, are El Salvador, Jamaica, Lesotho, Honduras, Belize, Venezuela, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, South Africa, St. Kitts, and Nigeria. Pray for Christians ministering in these areas today.  Swiss gov't removed 16-year-old girl from parents over trans issue SWISS FATHER: “They've put aside 16 years of absolute commitment to our child and have taken away our child based on the lie that a person can be born in their own body. The story is truly a nightmare.” This Swiss father, along with his wife, featured in that YouTube clip, have lost their daughter by court order. Their crime?  They refused to allow her to try to change her God-given gender.   After appealing to Switzerland's Supreme Court with support from Alliance Defending Freedom, the couple lost the battle. The court ruled that the father and mother must “endorse [the child's] gender transition and enable their child's legal ‘sex change' or face the possibility of criminal charges.” Brazilian currency lost 20% of value The Brazilian real has lost 20% of its value against the U.S. dollar since the election of the socialist, Lula da Silva, in October 2022. Turkey and Mexico's currencies also weakened in 2024. And the American dollar weakened in reference to most other major currencies this year. Canada's Justin Trudeau on brink of resigning Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a leftist, is on the brink of resigning as his liberal government crumbles around him, reports Canadian Television News.  Trudeau, age 52, is “considering his options as leader,” sources have told the broadcaster, while his Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland quit. Freeland quit on Monday after clashing with Trudeau on issues including how to handle possible U.S. tariffs, dealing a huge blow to an already unpopular government. In a stinging resignation letter, Freeland dismissed Trudeau's push for increased spending as a political gimmick that could hurt Ottawa's ability to deal with the 25 percent import tariffs U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says he will impose. The resignation by Freeland, age 56, who also served as deputy prime minister, is one of the biggest crises Trudeau has faced since taking power in November 2015.  It also leaves him without a key ally when he is on track to lose the next election to Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. U.S. 30-year-fixed mortgage rate almost 7% The U.S. 30-year-fixed mortgage rate is scraping 7%, up from 6.2% back in October.  WolfStreet.com estimates that the sale of 4.02 million existing homes this year  is the lowest number since 1995.  Two by Twos cult involved in child abuse A New York Post article addresses an anti-Trinitarian cult called “The Way” or “The Two by Twos” — being investigated by the FBI and other law enforcement organizations for extensive child abuse. An on-line resource called AdvocatesForTheruth.com alleges over 2,000 abuse cases, pointing to 910 unique abusers - 40% of whom were workers.  The cult was formed in 1897 by a Scottish cleric by the name of William Irvine. Mormon cult child abuse Also, as of December 10th of this year,  91 civil lawsuits have been filed in California courts alleging child sexual abuse against Mormon leadership and congregants. The cases involve 20 bishops, 20 elders, 8 missionaries, and 5 high priests, among others.  There are 977 Mormon wards in the Golden State. Keep in mind the cautionary note from Jeremiah 17:9.  “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?” Texas Attorney General sues over Abortion Kill Pill The State of Texas -- under the auspices of Attorney General Ken Paxton -- is suing a New York doctor for administering an abortion pill by telehealth to a Texas resident.   This represents one of the first challenges to the shield laws put up by pro-abortion states for doctors who aid in the killing of babies in pro-life states. In response,  New York Attorney General Letitia James issued this statement.  She sad, “Abortion is, and will continue to be, legal and protected in New York. As other states move to attack those who provide or obtain abortion care, New York is proud to be a safe haven for abortion access.” What are these strange drones in the sky? Strange drone sightings have spread from New Jersey into Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Connecticut and Ohio.   World Net Daily suggests that the drones are operated by the CIA in order to detect a dirty bomb. And former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has called for “state police to be able to have the authority to bring those drones down,” and for the Biden administration to tell the nation “what they are doing.”  Appearing on ABC's This Week on Sunday, Christie said this. CHRISTIE: “I've lived in New Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that I've noticed drones over my house. The Biden administration and state authorities have to be more vocal and let people know exactly what they're doing. “They hear about drones being deployed in Ukraine all the time as weapons, and U.S. deploying drones as weapons at times. So, you can see why people are concerned. It's a lack of communication from the government at the federal and state level that's at fault here.” Planned Parenthood killing 20% more babies now Planned Parenthood is killing more babies than ever — a 20% increase over the last 10 years. The business ended the lives of 392,715 babies in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. That's up from 327,166 dead babies ten years earlier. Over the past ten years, Planned Parenthood killed a total of 3.8 million babies, and has taken in a whopping $6.5 billion in taxpayer funding.   Taxpayers provided $700 million to the abortion business during the 2022-2023 fiscal year,  reports LiveAction.org. We pray Psalm 9:19-20 today: “Arise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight. Put them in fear, O Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but men.” Jordan Peterson moving to America And finally, psychologist and media personality Jordan Peterson is moving to the United States for what he describes as a rise of “totalitarianism” in Canada. Peterson referred to rising taxes and a new bill introduced into the Canadian parliament, Bill C-63.  The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has pointed out that the new bill includes the potential of “life imprisonment for any crime or federal offense, if found to be motivated by hate” … to include “spray-painting racist words on a wall.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, December 17th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

They also delve into how tire manufacturers intentionally keep run-flat tires away from the public to boost their profits. Kyle then reflects on how some iconic 80's action movies, like Missing in Action and Lone Wolf McQuaid, don't quite hold up today. The conversation shifts to bizarre sightings of flying humanoids reported across North America, Europe, and Asia. Additionally, they explore the strange tale of a Malaysian youth who was reportedly rescued by a mermaid at Tanjung Aru Beach.
