'stiqaq2a' Five months after the end of the Civil War, Acting Navy Lieutenant Everett Townsend is awaiting discharge in Key West. The end of the war has left him uncertain about his future and full of regret about the end of his relationship with Emma, the Cuban American daughter of a Havana boarding house owner. His Spanish grandmother- a slave owner who runs a prosperous sugar plantation in the Cuban countryside- is dreaming that Everett will return and take over the family business, a prospect that sickens him.Returning from a routine supply mission from Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, he and his men are caught in a hurricane and witness a shipwreck in the Marquesas Keys. When they investigate, they discover a locked cargo hold with the dead bodies of Black freedmen. When Townsend reports this unsettling incident to his distracted Naval commander in Key West, he's encouraged to drop the matter. But he can't shake his suspicions that the poor souls from the cargo hold were destined for re-enslavement in the sugar fields of Spanish Cuba.The murder of an American sailor in a Cuban port provides Townsend with a reason to return to Cuba and continue his investigation even as it reunites him with Emma who has joined the secretive Cuban resistance to Spanish colonial rule. A rescue of a Navy veteran leads to more clues and helps convince Townsend to become a government informant operating in the interior of Cuba. He goes to live with his Spanish grandmother at her sugar plantation in the Cuban countryside. There Townsend finds himself facing an impossible choice between the Cuban-American woman he loves and his tradition-bound Spanish grandmother. As he grapples with this clash of personalities, Townsend uncovers the details of a conspiracy which forces him to come face to face with his own family's close ties to slavery.stiqaq2aSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Throughout history Jews have been the victims of persecution and discrimination that has forced them from the places they've called home. While the stories associated with the Holocaust are often-told, the stories of the Jewish people in Cuba during the 1950s and 1960s are not as well known. And still, these stories are among the most harrowing, especially for the Polish Jews who had come to Havana to escape the changing tides of Eastern Europe.On this week's episode, Rabbi Pont speaks with author A.J. Sidransky about his new book, The Incident at San Miguel, and Miriam Bradman Abrahams, whose family this amazing historical fiction is based on.An episode not to be missed, especially for the avid reader out there!The book, The Incident at San Miguel, will be released on May 19. It can be purchased on Amazon in hard cover, paperback, Kindle, large print, and audio book formats. Miriam and AJ are also available to appear at book club and larger events.

"I Was A Teenage Conspiracy Theorist," The Atlantic magazine playfully titled a 2020 essay. "Choose your reality: Trust wanes, conspiracy theories rise," reported The Associated Press in 2022. "Do You Know Someone Who Believes in Conspiracy Theories? We Want to Hear About It," wrote The New York Times last year. Fears of "conspiracy theories" are a common trope in the U.S. media, a worry that's grown more acute with the rise of QAnon, anti-vaxx sentiment, anti-semitism and a host of other dangerous theories that unduly rot brains throughout the country. To a great extent, this understandable: Many ideas that meet the definition of "conspiracy theories" are, indeed, baseless and dangerous and can direct people's political energy and resources into wasteful, racist, and downright stupid rabbit holes. But that fact shouldn't delegitimize or foreclose all skepticism of those in power, but too often the term "conspiracy theory" is used to do just that. Repeatedly, media lump together so-called conspiracy theories, regardless of their accuracy, rationale, and ideology: at once, UFO chasers, QAnon, and the Black Panther Party being subject to FBI disruption are somehow placed in the same category of paranoid kooks. At the same time, unproven, and often debunked ideas advanced by media that also meet the definition of "conspiracy theories" — such as Saddam Hussein being behind 9/11 or so-called Havana syndrome — are treated as unassailable, meriting ongoing investigation, limitless resources, and of course, utmost solemnity. On this episode, we detail the double standards applied to conspiracy theories inside and outside of the realm of U.S. corporate media. We'll examine the development of the concept of conspiracy theories and the media's selective invocations of the term to discredit real grievances directed at American power and the U.S. government, and moreover, how power-friendly conspiracies — namely those focused on Enemy States like the Havana Syndrome narrative — are permitted to fester and grow without pushback because their red yarn dot connecting implicates the right lists of Acceptable Bad Guys. Our guest is Jacobin writer Branko Marcetic.

*) Israel bombs Gaza after Khader Adnan's death Israeli warplanes have carried out airstrikes targeting areas in Palestine's besieged Gaza, provoking retaliatory rocket attacks from Palestinian groups. Israel used fighter jets and drones to bomb multiple sites in northern Gaza, including sites of armed factions in Gaza City and central areas of the territory. Both sides agreed to a ceasefire after hours of fighting. The Israeli strikes came after rocket barrages were launched from Gaza following the death of Palestinian Khader Adnan in Israeli custody after an 87-day hunger strike. *) Sudanese parties agree on seven-day ceasefire Sudan's warring military factions have agreed in principle to a seven-day ceasefire from May 4th to 11th as more air strikes and shooting disrupted the latest short-term truce. The credibility of the South Sudan mediated ceasefire deal between Sudan's army and paramilitary RSF was unclear given violations that undermined previous agreements. Now in its third week, Sudan's war has forced 100,000 people to flee over its borders, and is creating a humanitarian crisis according to UN officials. *) Türkiye discovers oil reserve with 100k barrel per day capacity Türkiye has discovered a high-quality oil reserve in the country's eastern region with a production capacity of 100,000 barrels per day. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the newly-found petroleum will be extracted with 100 wells and will meet one-tenth of Türkiye's daily use. According to Erdogan, "Türkiye will no longer depend on others for energy but rather become an energy exporter." *) Colombia govt, rebels commit to reaching truce Colombia's government and National Liberation Army rebel group have affirmed their commitment to reaching a ceasefire agreement. The two sides also agreed on the need for civil society to be involved in any negotiated peace as they met in Havana for a third round of peace talks. The peace process was launched by Colombia's first-ever leftist President Gustavo Petro — himself a former urban fighter — at the end of last year. *) PSG suspends Messi after unauthorised tour Paris Saint-Germain has suspended Lionel Messi for two weeks without pay for an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia, according to French media. The Argentine superstar would not be able to play or train, and will miss the Ligue 1 match against Troyes on May 7 and one against Ajaccio on May 13. Messi had traveled to Saudi Arabia to fulfill commitments as part of a contract with the country's tourist office, and missed a PSG training session as a result.

After a two month hiatus, Overlapping Dialogue makes its triumphant return with our 71st edition, kicking off a 10 episode look at one of the most widely beloved periods in contemporary film history: the 1990s! But before we travel back in time to the era of Beanie Babies and horrific homegrown domestic terrorism, we sort through a Blue Plate Special gauntlet tacking a slew of new releases in Cocaine Bear, 65, Renfield, and the much anticipated Beau is Afraid. And don't worry, we even find some time to return to our semi-recurring segment on the Airport franchise of the 70s, this time with Airport '77. Upon sorting through wreckage literal and figurative, we finally arrive at this episode's subject features, both from 1990: Havana and Dick Tracy. Listen as we discuss the handsome yet unimaginative direction of Sydney Pollack, the cartoonish insanity that inherently comes along with adapting Chester Gould for the big screen, and the larger connection both films share of aging movie stars going about their fading relevance in decidedly different ways.

It's the last episode of the first season of 2023 and I couldn't think of a better topic to close this season about multi-hyphenates than with an episode on storytelling. If you've listened to this podcast before, you know I've spoken about this: The power of storytelling. It has the power to shape reality, attract and grow our businesses. Today, we are speaking with an expert in the industry on the PR side: that's Karina Martinez, founder of The Avana House. It's a public relations and storytelling agency founded to reshape media narratives through storytelling. In 2018, Martinez opened the doors to the agency with the intention to celebrate leaders, flavors and brands that represent what our diverse BIPOC communities look like. The name Avana is an homage to Havana, Cuba where Martinez's parents were born. In just a few years The Avana House led storytelling for some of the fastest-growing emerging brands and created moments in publications like The Today Show, Food & Wine, and The New York Times. Today, we speak with Martinez about her calling to increase representation and authentic stories in media, leveraging data to do so and how her unique journey into PR has defined the way she runs her business and built her team.  Follow Karina on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karina-martinez-001/ Follow The Avana House on Instagram: @TheAvanaHouse Follow Moneda Moves on Instagram: @MonedaMoves Follow your host Lyanne Alfaro on Instagram: @LyanneAlfaro Main podcast theme song from Premium Beat.

In 1939, the USS St. Louis left Hamburg, Germany headed for Havana, Cuba with more than 900 European Jews aboard. Counting themselves among the lucky few to escape Hitler's Germany, they thought they were headed for refuge. The passengers happiness quickly turned to fear as they were denied entry to Cuba, followed by the United States, Canada and many other countries. With only four countries willing to take passengers in, they were split up between England, Belgium, the Netherlands and France.One of the lucky passengers was Eva Wiener, a 10-month old baby whose family made it to England and survived the war there. With fewer than 20 survivors of the St. Louis still alive, Eva's story is more important now than ever before. Rabbi Pont had the pleasure of welcoming her to Marlboro Jewish Center this week as we commemorated Yom HaShoah...the day of remembrance.

We discuss a little of the official news that has come out about The Havana Syndrome.

You know, if you're not feeling well and an employee comes to you, send 'em to the doctor. And they weren't able to do that.

A sharp sound. Followed by body numbness. Difficulty speaking. Extreme head pain. Since 2016, U.S. officials across the world – in Cuba, China and Russia – have reported experiencing the sudden onset of an array of eerie symptoms. Reporters Adam Entous and Jon Lee Anderson try to make sense of this confusing illness that has come to be called Havana syndrome. This episode is built from reporting for an eight-part VICE World News podcast series by the same name.   The reporters begin by tracking down one of the first people to report Havana syndrome symptoms, a CIA officer working in Cuba. This “patient zero” explains the ways Cuban intelligence surveil and harass American spies working on the island and his own experience of suddenly being struck with a mysterious, painful condition. When he reports the illness to his bosses at the CIA, he learns that other U.S. officials on the island are experiencing the same thing.   A CIA doctor sees reports from the field about this strange condition happening in Cuba. He's sent to Havana to investigate the cause of the symptoms and whether they may be caused by a mysterious sound recorded by patient zero. But during his first night on the island, the CIA doctor falls ill with the same syndrome he is there to investigate.  In the third segment, reporters Entous and Anderson head to Havana to visit the sites where people reported the onset of their symptoms, looking for answers. The team shares reporting-informed theories about who and what could be causing Havana syndrome.  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weekly Connect with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

Josie tells Taylor about the mysterious illness infamously known as Havana syndrome. Plus: a household tips column gives some messy advice, and video game vixen Carmen Sandiego takes an unlikely detour through North Dakota—but which one actually happened?

Mill Creek Hawks defeated Collins Hill Eagles 3-2 on penalty kicks to win the boys soccer region championship. After battling to a 2-2 draw through regulation and OT, the Hawks ranked fifth in Class AAAAAAA, secured their first region championship since 2015. Mill Creek finished the regular season 13-3 overall and 9-1 in Region 8-AAAAAAA, earning a No. 1 seed in the state playoffs. Collins Hill fell to 15-3 and 8-2, becoming a Number 2 seed for state. The Hawks' victory was a reward for the team's hard work after missing the state playoffs in the previous two seasons. The Mill Creek girls soccer team secured a 4-0 victory against Collins Hill on Thursday night, earning the shutout they needed to clinch their third consecutive region championship. The Hawks had a clear objective going into the game - keep Collins Hill scoreless. Coach Vince Hayes praised his team's defense, saying that defense was going to win them the championship. Mill Creek will likely finish in a tie atop the region with Buford, but they have secured the goals allowed in region play tiebreaker due to a single goal scored against them by Mountain View in a loss to Buford. Mill Creek has won nine consecutive matches since losing to Buford earlier in the season. The Players Guild at Sugar Hill is bringing back the first musical they ever produced, "Guys and Dolls," which will run from April 14 to 30 at the Eagle Theatre in Sugar Hill, Georgia. The musical comedy follows gangsters, gamblers, missionaries, and showgirls chasing luck and love from the bright lights of New York City to the shores of Havana, Cuba. The show features iconic songs, high-energy choreography, and big comedy, with a cast of 22 performers, including Jackson Trent, Christian Sharp, Jalisa Jordan, and Hope Weisheit. Tickets start at $23 and are available on their website. Georgia's new law limiting medical care for transgender youth is expected to face legal challenges. The law prohibits Georgians under 18 from obtaining gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy or surgery. The Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has vowed to sue the state over the new law, which is likely to succeed, according to law professors. Federal courts have preliminarily blocked similar laws in Arkansas and Alabama. The Georgia law is also likely to be challenged on the grounds that it violates fundamental constitutional rights under both state and federal constitutions. Critics argue that it interferes with parents and children's right to make medical decisions about their lives. Renowned sculptor Basil Watson will conduct a free artist tour, Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m., and host a closing exhibition reception and book signing on April 15, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Hudgens Center for Art & Learning in Duluth. Watson's solo exhibition of sculptures and drawings titled, “My People: The Drawings and Sculpture of Basil Watson” is on display in the Fowler Gallery of the Hudgens Center. The show highlights Watson's 45 years as a working artist. The festivities on April 15 will begin at 6 p.m. and conclude at 9 p.m. Legislation to offer private-school vouchers to Georgia students attending low-performing public schools failed Wednesday night in the state House of Representatives.   The bill would have created $6,500 vouchers for Georgia students to use for private-school or home-schooling expenses if they were assigned to attend a public school in the lowest-performing quartile of public schools in the state.   The bill passed in the Senate earlier this month but ultimately failed to survive in the House, losing on an 85-89 vote.  A group of mostly rural Republicans crossed party lines to vote against the measure.  The House Rules Committee made several last-minute changes to the bill on Wednesday in an effort to make the proposal more palatable. The amendments would have tied the scholarship amount to changes in the state's education funding formula and changed the method for determining which schools qualify as low performing.   But those changes failed to convince enough legislators to vote for the bill.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're covering a topic that took both of us by storm. Usually we're able to find the comedy in everything we cover here ...but this week we just couldn't seem to do it. But we still give you some SUPER Interesting information about a phenomena that might be up there with all the great conspiracies you've ever heard.  This week we're covering, HAVANA SYNDROME. No , not a delicious disease you catch after a fiery night on the forbidden island, but an ATTACK (yeah we're just going to go ahead and say it) on US citizens. Namely US diplomats and spies working at the US embassy. Vicitims would report a targeted attack where they felt IMENSE pressure in their head, eye sight, and cognitive loss , as well as symptoms similar to VERTIGO. However, it wasn't just a unique medical incident or even an environmental reaction as EVERY person who was target stated once they "got off the X" (moved away from where they were , the sensations stopped. We thinks this was the result of a super sonic or some kind of RF/Microwave gun developed by the not so good people in Russia. But our government says other wise.

Amanda E. Machado is a writer, public speaker and facilitator whose work explores how race, gender, sexuality, and power affect the way we travel and experience the outdoors. She has written and facilitated on topics of social justice and adventure and lived in Cape Town, Havana, Mexico City, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, and other cities. She has been published in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Guardian, New York Times, NPR, and other publications. She is also the founder of Reclaiming Nature Writing, a multi-week online workshop that expands how we tell stories about nature in a way that considers ancestry, colonization, migration trauma, and other issues.“I think that was definitely a pattern that I unknowingly replicated when I first started traveling. I think that's how the travel industry has kind of marketed to us, right? This idea that, you know, bucket lists and wanting to like check boxes of things you're going to do in each place and becomes this thing of, rather than consuming a product that's an actual physical thing, you're consuming a country or consuming an experience. It's the same framework. We're still grasping at things. We're still compulsively trying to do XYZ without really thinking about its impact, without really thinking about the relationships that we're making in those places, without really thinking about reciprocity. And a lot of it comes from a deeply colonial mindset also, right? So much of the travel industry was built on the idea of colonialism which really makes us all inherit this idea that whatever we need in life is going to come from seeking it elsewhere and grabbing it from somewhere else, right? Which I think is the more modern 2023 way that we kind of replicate that colonial travel mindset of–My life right now is not great. I'm going to take a vacation. I'm going to take a break and go somewhere else where I can get what I need? Which I think is in a lot of ways can describe what I did at 24 as well.I think looking at that. Really deeply and really thinking about what is lost from that mindset and the harm that is caused by it has been something I've been trying to do over the last few years. And a lot of that has to do with land trauma, right? Like really acknowledging where our settlement of land comes from and how we can heal that in the ways that we travel.”www.amandaemachado.comIG www.instagram.com/amandaemachado0www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast
