A mink can look small and “cute” right up until you see what it does to a river. We're out on the ground with Robert from the Scottish Invasive Species Initiative, setting mink rafts and talking through the real mechanics of American mink control in Scotland. If you've ever wondered how conservation work actually looks day to day, this is the muddy boots version, complete with ropes, rafts, signal checks, and the kind of simple decisions that make or break a project.We get into the full setup: clay pad monitoring to confirm mink footprints, live capture traps mounted on floating rafts to reduce bycatch, and the remote monitoring units that send a text or email the moment a trap triggers. Robert explains why these traps often work without bait at all, how mink curiosity drives captures, and why flood conditions and winter water levels change how long you can safely leave equipment out. We also talk scale, because trapping only works when coverage is wide enough to stop reinvasion along connected waterways.Then we tackle the questions people always ask next: what a volunteer does when a trap fires, how humane dispatch is handled (and why training matters), and what happens after capture, from using scent as lure to contributing blood and fur samples for university disease studies. We zoom out to the bigger invasive species management picture too, including giant hogweed, Himalayan balsam, and Japanese knotweed control, because restoring habitat is never just one problem at a time.If you live near a river, burn, pond, or even city water, you can get involved and make a measurable difference for water vole conservation and native bird populations.

A retired British army officer walked into a Himalayan monastery as an old man leaning on a cane. He walked out looking decades younger, carrying five exercises anyone could do on a bedroom floor in 15 minutes.⠀In 1939 a thin booklet appeared at a small California publisher telling the whole story. It sold quietly, went out of print, was reissued in 1946 with new material, disappeared for decades, and when it finally resurfaced in 1985 it sold millions of copies. The practice inside it spread across the world under a name the author never used.⠀Today we go through the entire original book — every rite, including the two that most modern editions leave out. The seven energy centers and the endocrine model behind them. The sixth rite and its unusual conditions. The seventh rite hidden inside a chapter that vanished from print for decades. And the complete manifestation method embedded in the same lost chapter, with a sentence about the superconscious mind that reads exactly like what I teach today.⠀Then the question every skeptic asks: where did this actually come from? The case against the book is real. The case for it points at a pre-Buddhist Tibetan tradition that fits every condition of the frame story, and an age figure that matches Tibetan medicine to the year.⠀The whole practice takes 15 minutes on a floor.⠀

First, we speak to The Indian Express' Shubham Tigga about how Jharkhand's voter-roll revision has left a small Afghan-origin community in Jamshedpur fearful, and the difficult questions it raises about residence, documentation and citizenship.Next, we speak to The Indian Express' Vidheesha Kuntamalla about how human-made noise is changing the calls of the Himalayan monal, why this behavioural adaptation matters, and how development and climate change are affecting the bird's habitat. (08:30)And in the end, we look at the major avalanche on Nepal's Himlung Himal, where at least two people have died and 14 remain missing as rescue efforts continue amid hazardous weather conditions.

What can a devastating Himalayan avalanche teach us about climate change—and about the growing role of artificial intelligence in scientific research?In this episode, Dr. David Legates examines claims that a catastrophic 2026 avalanche in Nepal was caused by human-induced climate change. He explains why individual weather and climate events cannot simply be attributed to climate change and puts the disaster in historical context by comparing it with other major glacial and rock-ice avalanches.But the discussion takes an unexpected turn when Dr. Legates examines the research paper that prompted his investigation. The paper was generated entirely by AI and explicitly acknowledged that it had not undergone peer review or human verification. That raises a much larger question: When AI conducts research and produces convincing scientific prose, who is responsible for the claims it makes?Dr. Legates discusses both the promise and limitations of AI as a research tool, arguing that AI can be a powerful force multiplier—but that human expertise, critical thinking, and verification cannot be outsourced.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/413842707_The_Nepal_Avalanche_26_Aug_2026_an_unprecedented_event_A_comparative_historical_assessmenthttps://www.stimson.org/2026/a-cascading-disaster-on-the-china-nepal-border-what-to-know-about-the-august-2026-rasuwa-flood/Visit our podcast resource page: https://cornwallalliance.org/listen%20to%20our%20podcast%20created%20to%20reign/Our work is entirely supported by donations from people like you.

The discussion begins with one of Nepal's biggest current debates: should every major flood automatically be linked to climate change? Gyawali discusses the Rasuwa flood, mass wasting, Himalayan geology and the different factors behind natural disasters. He also examines Nepal's approach to climate compensation, climate justice and loss and damage, questioning how Nepal should present its case internationally. The conversation then moves into Nepal hydropower, sustainable development and the country's energy future. Gyawali discusses whether Nepal's current hydropower model is sustainable in the long run, the potential of pump storage hydropower and the relationship between energy, development and environmental risk. The episode also explores Nepal agriculture, long-term development challenges and Nepal geopolitics. Gyawali discusses the changing global order, globalization and Balen Shah's UN appearance, along with the diplomatic questions surrounding Nepal's climate and development message internationally.

On the morning of August 26, the Himalayan landscape above a Nepalese district a mass of ice and rock broke loose high in the mountains and sent down a violent surge of water, mud and debris. The torrent travelled through valleys, swept away settlements and infrastructure and eventually reached the Nepal-China border. By mid-September, more than 1,400 people had been reported dead and at least 6,000 remained missing in Nepal and across the border in Tibet. Since then, an international research team has been investigating the disaster .. University of Canterbury's Senior Lecturer Dr Thomas Robinson was part of that team, he chats to Jesse.

You saw Hanuman Ansh. The boy talking to a tree, the pot that never runs dry — both are explained by the title.Ansh, aṃśa, is a fragment. Hanuman is a vānara: vana + nara, forest + person — a forest-being. Greek andr- means "person" too; android is "person-shaped." Cousins from one ancestor, not a borrowing.The pot, read as a way to live rather than a miracle: nothing stored, nothing withheld, plenty from passing it on. That is annadāna. The same Himalayan hills saw the Chipko movement in the 1970s. Devotion, not policy — dharma as right relationship with everything that breathes, grows, and flows.Two hedges: vānara = vana + nara is the traditional gloss, and other derivations exist; and Hanuman Ansh is a devotional film, not an environmental one — it makes no claim about Uttarakhand's present ecological pressures, and neither does this episode.

Episode 232 of The Adventure Podcast features legendary alpinist, Mick Fowler. Mick is 70 and still climbing in the Himalaya. He can't remember how many first ascents he has there, but spoiler alert, it's a lot. In this episode, Mick talks to Matt about balancing his seemingly ordinary tax career with an extraordinary alpine one. He explains his approach to alpine-style climbing, what makes a good multi-decade climbing partner, near misses, and the mindset needed to know when to push on vs when to turn back. Mick also talks candidly about being diagnosed with cancer and the colostomy bag he's lived with since. Together they also reflect on ageing and moderating objectives without losing satisfaction. Mick is one of the greats but is exceptionally humble, and this is an honest, no fluff conversation about the 'simple' life that got him the accolades.

SHOW NOTES — Varanasi and Dharamshala: India's Two Spiritual WorldsEpisode SummaryIn this episode, Max joins John Wright, a travel writer from Seattle, who travels through two of India's most powerful spiritual centers. Varanasi, a city that overwhelms every sense, and Dharamshala, a peaceful Himalayan refuge shaped by the Dalai Lama's presence. They share a spiritual reputation, but the experience of each place feels like stepping into opposite worlds.VaranasiVaranasi hits travelers with full force the moment they arrive. The Ghats along the Ganges are a nonstop procession of pilgrims bathing, priests chanting, and funeral pyres burning day and night. The air is thick with smoke, incense, and the scent of the river. Narrow alleys twist between temples, cows, vendors, and crowds moving in every direction at once. John describes Varanasi as a place where sanctity and spectacle collide. Anyone can declare himself a holy man and find followers. Tuk-tuks weave through traffic like bumper cars without the crashes. It is exhausting, unforgettable, and unlike anywhere else on Earth.A short ride away, Sarnath offers a rare pocket of calm. This is where Buddha delivered his first sermon, and the gardens and monuments feel worlds away from Varanasi's intensity.DharamshalaFlying into Dharamshala feels like entering a different India entirely. The Himalayas rise in front of you, and the air is crisp and clean. In McLeod Ganj, red-robed monks walk between monasteries, prayer flags flutter, and the pace of life slows to a gentle rhythm. Portraits of the Dalai Lama hang in shops and cafés, not as decoration but as expressions of genuine affection. Locals describe him as compassionate and authentic, and his presence shapes the entire community. Even the monkeys seem to have their own personalities, swinging across wires and lounging in the sun.The Dalai Lama's temple is simple on the outside but beautifully decorated inside. Visitors sit quietly, many in traditional Tibetan dress, absorbed in prayer and reflection.The ContrastVaranasi is loud, raw, and overwhelming. Dharamshala is calm, reflective, and shaped by mountain silence. One city feels like a spiritual circus; the other feels like a sanctuary. Both reveal different sides of India's spiritual identity.Other Pilgrimage Stops MentionedMathura, birthplace of Krishna, filled with peaceful temples and prayerful devotees. Amritsar, home of the Golden Temple, one of India's most welcoming sacred spaces.Travel TipAll temples in India require visitors to remove shoes and socks. Sandals make life easier.Call to ActionIf you enjoyed this journey through India's spiritual contrasts, subscribe to the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast on Apple Podcasts and never miss an episode.

What if happiness and inner peace aren't things you have to chase—but something you uncover when you stop holding so tightly to who you think you're supposed to be?We live in a world that constantly tells us to achieve more, prove ourselves, defend our positions and define who we are. Yet all that striving can leave us anxious, disconnected and exhausted. There is another way.Award-winning author and alpinist Michael Schauch joins Women Road Warriors hosts Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro to explore Anattā, the ancient Buddhist concept of “non-self” at the heart of his book Anattā: Heart of Wisdom. It sounds mysterious, but its message is surprisingly practical: loosening our grip on the fears, wounds, identities and stories we carry can open the door to greater happiness, harmony, connection and inner peace. It happens when we loosen our attachment to the independent self and recognize how deeply interconnected we are with the world around us.Anattā isn't about losing yourself, surrendering your power or allowing other people to walk over you. It's about discovering the deeper person underneath the roles, expectations and emotional reactions that can quietly control your life.Michael explains why our attachment to an independent sense of self can intensify fear, dissatisfaction and an “us versus them” mentality. He also explores the Buddhist Four Immeasurables—loving kindness, compassion, joyful empathy and equanimity—and how they can help us build stronger connections and greater harmony.You'll also discover why inner peace does not mean keeping the peace at your own expense.Michael shares practical ways to begin: slow down, reconnect with nature, notice the stories running beneath your thoughts and emotions, and create enough stillness to hear what is happening inside you.One of his most powerful insights turns our usual pursuit of happiness upside down: happiness and inner peace aren't destinations. They emerge as we become more aligned with our true nature.Michael's path to this wisdom has taken him far beyond the meditation cushion. His extraordinary experiences include remote Himalayan expeditions, Alaskan ice walls, sacred places in Japan and the discovery of a Himalayan cave containing the ancient remains of 23 people. His connection with nature and a remarkable story passed down from his mother after her childhood in postwar Hong Kong helped shape his understanding of our connection to one another and the world around us.Discover Anattā and a different path toward happiness, inner peace, self-discovery, mindfulness, emotional balance and human connection with Michael Schauch on Women Road Warriors.In This Episode, Discover:What Anattā really means and why “non-self” is not about losing your identity, voice, power or boundariesWhy happiness and inner peace aren't destinations but can emerge when we become more aligned with our true natureHow the fears, wounds, identities and stories we hold onto can create suffering, dissatisfaction and disconnectionWhy recognizing our interconnection with other people and the world around us can create greater harmony and compassionHow to step out of an “us versus them” mindset and respond to conflict with greater clarity instead of reacting from fearThe Four Immeasurables—loving kindness, compassion, joyful empathy and equanimity—and how they strengthen human connectionWhy inner peace does not require women to surrender their voices or sacrifice healthy boundariesHow nature can help quiet the mind, reveal hidden thought patterns and reconnect us with ourselvesMichael's extraordinary discovery of 23 ancient human remains in a Himalayan cave and what it taught him about impermanence and the human experienceHow to recognize thoughts and emotions without allowing them to control you—like stepping out of a raging river and observing it from the bankPractical ways to create more stillness, mindfulness, emotional balance and peace in everyday lifeWhat might change if you stopped searching outside yourself for the happiness, wisdom and peace you already have the capacity to experience?About Michael SchauchMichael Schauch is an alpinist and award-winning author who lives to explore the depths of nature and the human spirit and share the beauty of connection he discovers along the way.His books have received accolades from authors including Ken Wilber, Bernadette McDonald, Sharon Salzberg, Stephen Cope and Wade Davis, as well as reviewers including Kirkus, BlueInk and Foreword. His work has appeared in Elephant Journal, Unity Magazine and Thrive Global, with notable mentions in Lion's Roar, the Vancouver Sun and the South China Morning Post.His new book is Anattā: Heart of Wisdom.Learn more about Michael Schauch and his work:www.michaelschauch.comDiscover more inspiring expert and celebrity conversations from Women Road Warriors:www.womenroadwarriors.comListen to Women Road Warriors wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible and YouTube.#WomenRoadWarriors #Anatta #InnerPeace #Happiness #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #BuddhistWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #MentalWellbeing #MichaelSchauch #WomenRoadWarriors #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro

High in the hills of Shimla, India, an old roadside water source known as Chudail Baudi has been feared since the British Raj. Drivers say their vehicles slow down as they approach, before a woman with long hair and backwards feet appears beside the road asking for a lift. Refuse her, and according to the legend, she may just appear inside the car anyway. We explore the stories surrounding the Witch's Well and the much older folklore of the chudail.As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/haunted-no-more-shimla-s-chudail-bauri-is-a-children-park/story-5uccCLtQVXSdhOWZjgFh3N.htmlhttps://www.outlookindia.com/culture-society/-angrez-chudail-and-nakalchi-bhoot-the-ghosts-of-shimla-live-on-news-191428https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/An_introduction_to_the_popular_religion_and_folklore_of_northern_India_%28IA_introductiontopo00croorich%29.pdfhttps://aguidetohimachal.com/chudail-baudi-shimla-the-haunted-road-and-the-woman-who-asks-for-a-liftThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Shot on Video September starts here — but not with a horror movie?! In 1998, Kathryn Hudson wrote, directed, scored and starred in her own vanity project as an alien monarch from the planet Neberon: crash-landed on Earth at nine, raised by Himalayan mystics, running a Santa Monica dance studio, and defending the beach from a businessman who turns swimmers green and sells them the antidote for a million dollars. Then she never dropped the act. Twenty-eight years later she's still Queen Kathryn — ambassador of world peace, self-published recording artist, and an extremely active poster. We get into the movie, the woman, and the thirty years she's spent as the character: Vista Street, David Sterling, Jeff Leroy's miniatures, Supreme Master Ching Hai, the Loving Hut, urine therapy, gold hot pants, and a merch line with its own perfume.

The Earth doesn't have reputation consultants or damage control specialists.  It's main gesture lately is melting Himalayan mountains... 2026 will be the hottest year in history and in the number two position? 2024.  2023 and 2025 are tied for 3rd place. The vertical climb of scalding heat is killing people, animals and plants as I type these words but the millions of people in the "investor class" blocks the sharing of resources and welcomes Donald Trump's compassless government. The investors wield their hate from air conditioned interiors.  The Earth is made of love, but her struggle to survive humanity's polluters will be the end of us.

Get to know the Golden Mahseer, a large freshwater fish native to fast-flowing rivers in the Himalayan region that feels the watershed-wide impacts of events like the recent catastrophic debris flow and flash flood in Nepal (this episode was recorded just prior to the catastrophic glacial collapse). We dive into the value of this fish and why it's important to think globally when it comes to learning about migratory species. Our guest Julie Claussen is a scientist and science communicator.

Episode #602: “The things that I was devoted to for liberation became the weapons that were used to harm me. The community that was a refuge became the thing that exiled me.” Amma Thanasanti, a meditation teacher, former Theravāda nun, and founder and spiritual director of Awakening Truth, spent more than two decades in the Ajahn Chah lineage before a conflict over women's authority led to her expulsion. Her path had begun at UC Santa Cruz in 1979, where Jack Engler's teaching convinced her that spiritual life would become the center of her life. Retreat practice, encounters with teachers including Dipa Ma, and survival of a Himalayan black bear attack deepened her conviction that meditation opened genuine freedom. That conviction did not prepare her for the limits of practice inside an unequal institution. At Amaravati, monks held authority while nuns lived under a separate sīladharā structure without equal access to bhikkhunī ordination. When Amma Thanasanti and three other nuns drafted a statement seeking a path out of their double bind, the response was shouting, a secret plan to reduce the nuns' rights, and a ceremony she could not join without violating her integrity. Her talks were erased, former colleagues were told to avoid her, and the community she had treated as refuge became a source of exile. Recovery took fifteen years. Trauma work and attachment repair showed her that liberating insight does not automatically resolve wounds formed through fear, attachment, or coercive control. Her teaching now integrates the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta with trauma-informed understanding, while challenging communities that rely on self-report and protect a teacher's identity more readily than those reporting harm. For practitioners, the difficulty is that belonging itself can narrow perception. Amma Thanasanti urges people to keep trusted relationships outside spiritual institutions and to notice changes in sleep, health, confidence, shame, anxiety, and the ability to speak honestly. Meditation may remain liberating even when a community becomes harmful; that split does not make the harm unreal. Her counsel is directed first toward the person whose own signals have become difficult to trust: “When the balance is such that you feel that the harm that's happening is not something that you're able to metabolize… Listen to that.”

An information delay of 16 minutes in Nepal's early warning system is believed to have directly shaped the human cost of the catastrophic August 2026 Himalayan flash floods. Triggered by a massive glacier-related collapse near the Tibet border, a wall of ice, rock, and mud tore through the river valley faster than local monitoring stations could report it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After almost four years of living in Australia, Leonardo Garlet Caetano embarked on a long journey through Asia. He was in Nepal when the glacier ruptured in the Himalayan region, leaving hundreds dead downstream. In an interview with SBS in Portuguese, Leonardo recounts what he witnessed during the tragedy, describes the work of the rescue teams and the mobilization of local communities, in addition to telling how he managed to leave the country and continue traveling to China. - Após quase quatro anos morando na Austrália, Leonardo Garlet Caetano embarcou para uma longa viagem pela Ásia. Ele estava no Nepal quando a geleira rompeu na região do Himalaia, deixando centenas de mortos rio abaixo. Em entrevista à SBS em Português, Leonardo relata o que presenciou durante a tragédia, descreve o trabalho das equipes de resgate e a mobilização das comunidades locais, além de contar como conseguiu deixar o país e seguir viagem para a China.

A catastrophic glacial collapse high on the Tibetan Plateau triggered a lethal deluge of mud, ice, and mountain debris through the river valleys bordering Tibet and Nepal. With over 800 confirmed deaths and thousands still missing across the transboundary region, search and rescue teams are battling deep silt, damaged infrastructure, and subterranean hazards to reach survivors. In this video, we break down the critical rescue operations—from trapped hydroelectric tunnel workers to emergency international aid—and examine how climate change is accelerating cryosphere destabilization worldwide. We also look at how shifting global weather patterns are driving extreme hydrological shocks across diverse ecosystems, including recent flash flooding and mudslides along Bright Angel Creek in the Grand Canyon. #Tibet #Nepal #GlacialCollapse #ClimateChange #FlashFloods #GrandCanyon #NaturalDisaster #Himalayas Independent media has never been more important.

Dr. John All is a mountaineer and scientist who nearly lost his life after falling more than 20 meters down an icy crevasse while researching how quickly the Himalayas are melting. A week after a catastrophic flood struck the Nepal-Tibet border, he warns the tragedy we've seen in the region could be repeated as pollution and rising temperatures turn mountain ice into water.  Today, he speaks about researching climate change in treacherous terrain, and how soon the Himalayan glaciers could disappear.  Featured:  John All, mountaineer and co-founder of the American Climber Science Program

It's Friday, August 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Christian farmers are being targeted by Fulani Muslims For many Christian farmers in the Plateau State of Nigeria, traveling to their own farms has become dangerous, reports International Christian Concern. Some have stopped going altogether. Others now move in groups, hoping that numbers will offer some protection. But for families who depend on agriculture for survival, abandoning their land is not an easy choice.  The fear has grown following a series of attacks by armed men suspected to be Fulani Muslim militias which have targeted farmers traveling to and from their fields.  On July 30, according to Christian leader Joseph Yonkpa, 60-year-old Christian farmer Bulus Turu was “attacked and macheted while returning from his farm.”  At least 27 people have been killed in ambushes, many of whom were Christian farmers traveling to their farms.  Yohana Boh, a community leader, said, “We received early warning, but the Nigerian Army ignored it. We can't sleep. We can't farm. We're calling for help.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Lateef Kayode, the Nigerian Ambassador to America, asking him to urge his government to protect the Christian farmers there. Address your letter to the Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You can find that address, and the spelling of the Nigerian Ambassador's name, in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Flash flood in Nepal killed 360 The deadly flash flood in Nepal on August 26th has killed 360 people and left 1,400 missing including 90 Americans, reports Weather.com. The flood was likely caused by a huge chunk of a glacier that broke off and temporarily dammed a river.  That may have led to the backed-up water surging downstream with enormous force a few hours later. In fact, water levels in rivers across the flood-affected region rose by as much as 29.5 feet in 30 minutes. The U.S. State Department said it is not aware of any U.S. deaths, but three Americans have been rescued. Hundreds have lost their homes across the Himalayan region, and officials reported large-scale damage to critical infrastructure, including hydropower dams, roads, buildings and bridges in the region. US Patriot missile stocks in Europe are ‘beyond critical' due to Iran war An unnamed U.S. defense official in Europe and an unnamed NATO official told the Associated Press that the U.S. military is experiencing a “beyond critical” shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe largely driven by President Donald Trump's war with Iran. This raises concerns about vulnerabilities in NATO countries to a potential Russian attack. The U.S. defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves Patriot missile interceptors, which can shoot down Russia's high-speed ballistic missiles. The NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among American and NATO forces in Europe. President Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America On August 27th, President Donald Trump said he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States as he escalates his trade war with Canada, reports the Associated Press. The president signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to update the lake's name in the U.S. geographic naming service. Girl Scouts promotes Islam The Girl Scouts organization in America already has plunged neck-deep into transgenderism and abortion, with ideologies that support such leftist agendas. Now, the group is jumping into Islam, reports WorldNetDaily.com. An online report confirmed the Girls Scouts are offering "badges" that are earned by little girls when they visit mosques and learn the "Pillars of Islam." Not surprisingly, social media commenters were outraged. Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk, tweeted, “Nothing says Girl Scouts of AMERICA like learning the pillars of Islam.” And another wrote, “Never buy Girl Scout cookies again.” According to a new investigation by Natalie Winters, the White House correspondent for Steve Bannon's War Room, she documented that, "Girl Scout troops across the U.S. are incorporating Islamic religious instruction, prayer and activities, [like wearing the hijab head covering and participating in the Ramadan fast] into scouting programs.” Winters reported, "Girl Scouts Heart of Central California knew about the Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims' religious integration years earlier. The council's 2009 annual report said that four troops with 30 girls began …  [incorporating] Girl Scouting into the mosque's youth programming. It highlighted a Ramadan sleepover involving fasting and girls 'praying through the night.'" The examples appear to involve individual troops and local councils rather than a nationwide requirement imposed on all Girl Scouts. However, there is a "nationwide pattern of Girl Scout troops based at mosques incorporating Islamic prayer, Quranic instruction, and lessons on hijab into activities conducted under the Girl Scouts banner." In Exodus 20:3, God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” And, to be sure, Allah, the Islamic god, is not the one true God. Mom banned from school after protesting push of sexual perversion And finally, an Oregon mother is suing Portland Public Schools for banning her from her children's elementary school for protesting its promotion of homosexual transgender “pride,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. The Oregonian reports that Allison Roberts, who has two children at Meriwether Lewis Elementary School, took issue with benches painted with “Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride” rainbow designs. She also objected to an assignment in which one of her kids was tasked with filling out an “identity flower” exercise including gender. After a meeting with school officials to discuss her concerns, she began distributing letters about the situation outside the school, leading to a “heated exchange” with one parent. That led to a one-year trespass order keeping her off the grounds ostensibly for “threatening and intimidating members of the school community” with “harmful, unlawful and/or disruptive behavior.” As a result, Roberts was forced to miss one of her children's graduations from elementary school. Now, she is suing to reverse the trespass order and secure her rights to engage in free speech about her children's education.  Mrs. Roberts should prayerfully consider pulling her children out of the pro-perversion government schools and homeschool them instead. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Officials in Nepal say more than 550 people are now known to have died more than 48 hours after flash flooding hit the Himalayan border region with Tibet. Also: Four men have pleaded guilty to setting fire to ambulances run by a Jewish charity in north-west London. And crowds gather outside the Royal Palace in Oslo to greet Norway's new king, Haakon, after the death of his father.

Three days after a catastrophic wall of water, mud and rock tore through Nepal's Himalayan valleys, the scale of the disaster is still coming into focus. At least 579 people are now confirmed dead, nearly 2,000 remain missing, and the danger is not over. Authorities are closely watching lakes formed in the wake of the glacier collapse, amid fears of further flooding. Stephanie Sy reports.

A chunk of Himalayan ice snapped off at about 17,000 feet and turned into what Nepal's disaster chief called a “tsunami from the sky.” Watch what happened. Around 8:40 a.m. Wednesday, the collapse smashed into a valley, dammed the Lhende River, then let go. A 33-foot wall of water, mud, and debris tore down the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli. Villages were wiped out. About 25 miles of road and 19 bridges are gone. At least 273 people are dead. More than 1,300 are missing. U.S. Geological Survey first reported a 4.4 earthquake north of Kathmandu, then said the seismic reading was the glacier and the debris flow — no quake. This is not a distant postcard. Nepalese officials say 63 American citizens are among the missing, including a California couple on a Mount Kailash pilgrimage. More than 5,000 army and police are in the search.

Rescue teams searched Thursday for hundreds of missing people along the Nepal–China border, where a deadly torrent of water and mud several stories high swept through communities a day earlier following a glacier collapse.Videos of the disaster showed people running, before the floodwaters swallowed them up and washed out buildings and bridges. More than 350 people were killed, police said, and more than 1,000 were missing, including scores of foreigners and pilgrims. Hundreds of others have been displaced across the Himalayan region.An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer charged with shooting a Venezuelan immigrant and lying about it during the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis was released from a Texas jail Thursday, after a judge declined to order his return to Minnesota.The ICE officer, Christian Castro, was released in the morning from a detention center in Brownsville.

  Absolutely devastating video coming out of Nepal right now, following catastrophic flooding in the Himalayan country. The massive floods are now thought to have come following an earthquake, which prompted a glacial collapse and debris flow. Unfortunately, the risk of additional flooding remains today. And now, we're also learning about some similarities with our own mountains and glaciers here in Utah -- a bit of an unsettling connection. 

//The Wire//2300Z August 26, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MAJOR FLASH FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES DEVASTATE TIBET AND NEPAL. STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS CONTINUE FOLLOWING CIA DIRECTOR VISIT TO RUSSIA. STABBING ATTACK REPORTED IN AUSTRALIA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Europe: The war remains constant as Ukraine and Russia continue their targeting efforts. Overnight, Ukraine continued their strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, targeting the Lukoil Refinery in Kstovo. Similarly, Russia has continued striking gas stations within Ukraine. Both sides have also continued strikes on each others consumer industry, with Ukraine hitting Wildberries and Ozon warehouses, and Russia hitting shopping malls in Ukraine.Western Asia: This morning a major mudslide was reported in Tibet, after flash flooding throughout the region caused instability in the terrain. The small Himalayan town of Gyirong was nearly completely destroyed by mudslides, along with many other mountain villages. Analyst Comment: As this disaster took place mostly in Tibet, the administration of recovery efforts is complicated. China is the most capable entity in the general region, and has mobilized around a hundred soldiers that were already at the far-flung outposts on the border of the autonomous region. Chinese authorities have stated that this is a mass casualty event, and video footage of the mudslides confirm several dozen fatalities outright, with potentially hundreds of people being killed by the disaster.Australia: Yesterday afternoon, a stabbing attack was reported in Melbourne, after an African man attacked a 10-year-old boy randomly on the street directly outside the main entrance of the Victoria Police Headquarters. After attacking the child, the assailant stabbed the boy's mother with a pair of scissors. Several bystanders immediately counterattacked the assailant, subduing him while police responded from their headquarters building. The assailant has been identified as Jerry Sowood, a Liberian man who proudly confessed to the crime in court shortly after his arrest.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Strategic indications and warnings keep stacking up concerning American and Russian military assets, though right now it's not entirely clear what it all means. Shortly after Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow, a total of 5x E6-B MERCURY TACEMO aircraft took off and flew patterns over the American interior all at roughly the same time. This has happened a few times before during exercises, but it's not that common to see this many strategic communication aircraft airborne at the same time. This morning, a strategic Russian radio station was active again, repeating several coded messages for unknown recipients on 5135 kHz. This frequency has occasionally been used by strategic Russian assets in the past, and starting about two weeks ago this frequency began being used more frequently. Normally, messages that begin with the prefix DMITRI are higher priority messages, or at least that's a common theory among shortwave listeners. These transmissions repeated throughout the day, mostly conveying the same coded message.Normally, the movement of strategic aircraft or cryptic radio messages can't be pinned down to a singular event or cause, and the entire purpose of the whole strategic readiness posture is to make an exercise indistinguishable from a real-world event. However, when we add up the events of the past 48 hours, the situation is revealed to be more interesting than at face value. In isolation, an interesting plane flying around or a random radio message is not worthy of mention, but in aggregate these events become vastly more interesting, even though it's impossible to know why.More broadly, the very minute details and observances by planewatchers, shortwave listeners, and hobbyists alike are extremely early indicators of some kind of strategic event. These observances are at the very bleeding edge of what is possible to perceive within the open source world, and must be weighted accordingly. It is impossible to make decisions based on so little data, so right now all of this is just evidence supporting the hunch that strategic moves are being made. The CIA Director flying to Moscow at the same time 5x "Doomsday" communications planes are active in the US, and the Russians are more active on their own strategic radio frequencies...is all extremely coincidental to be nothing. Much more analysis will be needed to maybe determine what's going on but as it stands, high-level diplomatic and strategic moves continue behind the scenes, as both the war in Ukraine and Iran remain in the balance.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Abominable Snowman Cocktail • Sparkling Sanding Sugar For the rim, optional• 1 1/2 – 2 oz RumChata• 1 bottle Blue Cream Soda Instructions: If you are sugaring the rim of your glass, place the sanding sugar in a shallow dish. You can dip your finger in water and rub it around the rim or you can use a slice of lemon to go around the rim — you just want it to be slightly damp so the sugar will stick. Fill a highball glass with ice and then pour the RumChata over the ice. Slowly pour the blue cream soda in to fill the glass. I like to float just another half-ounce or so of horchata over the top. Serve immediately. Source: foodfanatic.com A Brief Synopsis: The Abominable Snowman follows British botanist Dr. John Rollason as he joins a ruthless American showman, Tom Friend, on a dangerous Himalayan expedition to track down the legendary Yeti, leading to a tense clash between scientific curiosity and commercial exploitation.

Bhutan is a Himalayan kingdom sandwiched between China and India. Forty percent of its 800,000 citizens work in the agriculture sector. The mountainous country is famous for its breathtaking landscapes and its unique policy of "Gross National Happiness," instituted in 1972 by Jigme Singye Wangchuck, the fourth king of Bhutan. My guests on the Newscast this week say this philosophy is the backbone of the nation's food system, and its plan for full food self-sufficiency by 2029. "Our food system isn't just about producing food. It's about sustaining our landscapes, our communities, and our culture," says renowned chef and restaurateur Bleu Tshering Dorji. She owns two restaurants in the nation's capital, Thimpu. She explains the unique challenges farmers she works with face due to climate change and steep mountain terrain. "We are a mountainous landlocked country, and only a small percentage of our land is, I think, actually suitable for agriculture. We don't have the luxury of just expanding farmland. We have to make better use of the land that we sort of already have," she says. "Labor is becoming extremely scarce as young people sort of move away from agriculture, and farmers still have to deal with issues like wildlife conflict, unpredictable weather, and also getting their produce to the market," Bleu says. Sonam Wangchuk is an executive specialist at the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock for the government of Bhutan. He also joins the conversation to explain how the government plans to address these challenges through the 13th five-year plan, "Transforming the Agrifood Sector for Economic Growth and Sustainable Development." The plan calls for spending the equivalent of about $180 million through 2029. Much of these funds appear to be directly supporting smallholder farmers, the majority of whom in Bhutan are women. "We have been working to strengthen the capacity of the smallholder farmers, especially through training on climate-smart agriculture, improve production technologies, farm mechanization, post-harvest management, value addition and agribusiness and business development for women and youth," Wangchuk says. "The skills are imparted to improve access to finance, technology and markets and creating an environment of entrepreneurship and to support the farmer groups and cooperatives." Some government measures have received criticism, such as the implementation of a 3,400-kilometer (2,100-mile) fence to deter human-wildlife conflict. A previous study from 2023 on agricultural practices in the nation suggested that, "Bhutan should emphasise women-centred initiatives by enhancing access to assets, raising awareness of climate change mitigation strategies, and developing training programs to promote CSA," or climate-smart agriculture. This appears to be what the plan aims to do. However, not all challenges are easily solved with funding. Previous Mongabay fellow Choki Wangmo highlighted some of these challenges through the story of Pen Zam, a medicinal mushroom gatherer who struggles with a shrinking habitat at extremely high altitudes to attain a fraction of what her family used to gather decades ago, before the current climate impacts of today. Later this month, the inaugural Global Conscious Food Systems Summit will take place in Bhutan. Please take a minute to let us know what you think of our podcast here.
