On June 18, 1815, the fields of Waterloo ran red with the blood of up to 20,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of horses. Eyewitnesses described the chaos: mass graves dug in haste, bodies burned, the stench of war hanging heavy in the air. War leaves behind bodies—that's the hard truth. But what happens when those bodies… disappear?Over two centuries later, archaeologists have uncovered a haunting mystery: despite the scale of the slaughter, only two human skeletons and three horses have ever been found on the battlefield. So where, exactly, are the bones?This story will take you beyond the battlefield and into the sugar factories, the farmlands, and the shadows of post-war Europe to uncover a chilling, forgotten story. You've heard of the Battle of Waterloo—but you've never heard this version.This one will make you rethink everything you know about history, industry, and the disturbing afterlife of war.Go to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Missing Chapter Podcast website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more information, previous episodes, and professional development opportunities!

At the EUVC Summit 2025, Anthony and Sarah took the stage with what turned out to be one of the most intellectually charged exchanges of the day. The topic? Solo GPs, specialization, and the hard choices that define fund performance.Let's just say—no consensus was reached. But the tension? That's where the insight lived.Anthony came in strong:“Being a solo GP is the purest form of interest alignment.”To him, solo GPs aren't a stepping stone or niche play—they're a category in their own right. The advantage? Focus. Speed. Zero overhead. And most importantly: a differentiated product founders want.He highlighted what he sees as the compounding edge:No IC.No coordination cost.Vertically integrated workflows.A position as a complementary node, not a competitor, in the ecosystem.And yes—there's scale in solo too.“I just had coffee with two solo GPs managing over a billion in AUM. You don't need to ‘scale up' to be credible.”Sarah offered a more grounded lens: focus on performance over scale.“You don't win on good ops alone—but you can lose on bad ops.”Her point: it's not about copying what works in another market. It's about right-sizing your fund to what your strategy and your market can actually sustain.Especially in Europe, she argued, the path isn't about chasing a 10x in AUM—it's about finding the zone where your edge sings.“If I think about the funds I admire, they got really good at finding the fund size that matched their true strategy.”And for emerging managers, the key is still figuring out what the market needs now, not just what worked last cycle.As the session wrapped, one line captured the spirit of it all:“The test of a great intelligence is holding two opposing ideas at the same time.”At EUVC, we didn't just hear those ideas.We saw them—sitting side by side on stage.And if we're smart about it, we won't choose one or the other.We'll connect the dots.The Case for the Solo GP: Pure Alignment, Compounding AdvantageThe Performance Perspective: Ops, Fund Size & Market FitTwo Views.

David de Boer returns to the podcast to talk to Jana Byars about his first book, The Early Modern Dutch Press in the Age of Religious Persecution (Oxford UP, 2023). This book is available open source here. For victims of persecution around the world, attracting international media attention for their plight is often a matter of life and death. This study takes us back to the news revolution of seventeenth-century Europe, when people first discovered in the press a powerful new weapon to combat religiously inspired maltreatments, executions, and massacres. To affect and mobilize foreign audiences, confessional minorities and their advocates faced an acute dilemma, one that we still grapple with today: how to make people care about distant suffering? David de Boer argues that by answering this question, they laid the foundations of a humanitarian culture in Europe. As consuming news became an everyday practice for many Europeans, the Dutch Republic emerged as an international hub of printed protest against religious violence. De Boer traces how a diverse group of people, including Waldensians refugees, Huguenot ministers, Savoyard office holders, and many others, all sought access to the Dutch printing presses in their efforts to raise transnational solidarity for their cause. By generating public outrage, calling out rulers, and pressuring others to intervene, producers of printed opinion could have a profound impact on international relations. But crying out against persecution also meant navigating a fraught and dangerous political landscape, marked by confessional tension, volatile alliances, and incessant warfare. Opinion makers had to think carefully about the audiences they hoped to reach through pamphlets, periodicals, and newspapers. But they also had to reckon with the risk of reaching less sympathetic readers outside their target groups. By examining early modern publicity strategies, de Boer deepens our understanding of how people tried to shake off the spectre of religious violence that had haunted them for generations, and create more tolerant societies, governed by the rule of law, reason, and a sense of common humanity.

//The Wire//2300Z August 15, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: PUTIN ARRIVES IN ALASKA FOR SUMMIT. U.K. MIGRANT CRISIS CONTINUES TO WORSEN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: The situation is reaching a breaking point regarding the migrant crisis. On Wednesday evening, a migrant from the Canary Wharf Migrant Center (formerly the Britannia International Hotel) broke in to a nearby apartment. Details are hard to verify (and no names have been released so far), however a woman inside the apartment (who was blind) possibly did not know that the migrant was inside her home. Some time later, the woman's daughter arrived at the apartment, discovering the migrant in the process of assaulting her mother. The daughter managed to get rid of the migrant, but after some time, she decided to approach the entrance to the Britannia Hotel with a meat cleaver. A security guard managed to calm her down, but police arrested the woman at her home some time later.The judge denied the daughter bail, and the status of the migrant who started all of this remains unknown. Authorities have stated that he remains in custody, but that cannot be verified at this point, as British authorities have a long history of secretly releasing violent criminals (especially migrants) without notice.-HomeFront-New York City: This morning a three-alarm fire was reported at a residential apartment building in the Upper East Side, in the vicinity of 95th Street. The fire resulted in an explosion which injured three firefighters.Alaska: This afternoon the peace summit between the United States and Russia began, with both President Putin and President Trump meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.Analyst Comment: So far, the initial meeting appears to be amiable, and today's talks ended several hours early on positive terms. Immediately following the meeting, President Trump conducted a phone call to undisclosed leadership in Europe. Since these are closed-door deliberations, we'll have to wait until morning to determine how things went on the first day (unless there's some kind of unplanned announcement by the White House), but at the moment the general situation looks positive.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comment: When governments push their populations past the breaking point, things get ugly, and London is rapidly becoming the central focus point for understanding what happens when things come to a head throughout the western world. One woman with a meat cleaver who is at the end of her rope, with no options left, is not likely to result in any change, tactically speaking. Mass protest is unlikely to result in any change in this situation either. However, the rawness and grit of this incident is significant; bottom line, the British government does not know what generational anger they have stoked at this point.The Britannia Hotel is host to significant police activity, and has been turned into an urban fortress by the authorities seeking to protect the violent criminals inside. Roughly 1,000 migrants are being housed at this facility, many of which have long criminal records. British authorities keep shuffling the migrants around in an elaborate shell game, so that no one really knows for sure how many are in a Migrant Center at any given time. This also serves to prevent locals from building familiarity and starting to notice the same faces committing crimes over and over again. This site is also host to significant protest activity, but so far this Key Terrain has not been breached or vulnerabilities exploited. So far, most of the activities surrounding the migrant centers in and around London have been fairly low-intensity, but as more innocent people continue to be harmed, this will not last.Yesterday, London also announced the expansion of surveillance operations in the city. 10x surveillance vans equipped wit

Hunter Gatherer carved out a niche in Athens between approximately 1997 and 2004, folding into the post‑hardcore and emocore wave that was surging at that time. Their music drew equally from punk's intensity and emo's emotive melodies—yet with a poppier, hook-oriented bent, making their sound more accessible than one might expect from that blend. Despite a relatively brief run and limited releases, they made their mark in a vital era for Athens music, resonating with scene contemporaries and contributing to the city's enduring reputation for musical diversity and authenticity. I got Matt on the Zoom and this is what we chat about: Playing with them back in the day Finding their old angelfire website with 95 shows they played Growing up with Whippersnapper Chuck from Hot Water working at a Subway Getting compared to Hot Water Music The Athens scene The Frotus Refused show Almost signing to Cargo Their roadie almost dying on the Europe tour Playing a woman's prison What lead to them breaking up The recent passing of their bassist Jason Mcnew His Brother's label Aqua lamb records And a ton more Check out their angelfire website And their Instagram  

Prophecies from Daniel 7 and Matthew 24–25 are unfolding right before our eyes. From the lion, bear, and leopard of Daniel's vision to Jesus' warnings about deception and global turmoil, the Bible describes exactly what we're seeing in our world today. These passages connect with Revelation 13's “Mark of the Beast,” 2 Thessalonians 2:5, and even the rise of a 10-nation confederation in Europe. Every sign points to the soon return of Christ. This is about more than just identifying signs—it's about strengthening faith, holding fast to what we believe. Whether it's the fulfillment of ancient prophecies or the headlines of today, every sign points us closer to the moment when the age of grace will give way to His coming kingdom. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His short fiction has appeared in Sonora Review, Berkeley Fiction Review, and New England Review.

In this episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with David Kramer, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, and Serhiy Kudelia, Associate Professor of Political Science at Baylor University, about the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. With the meeting unfolding as the episode was recorded, they analyze the possible scenarios—from capitulation to a Minsk 3-style ceasefire to the status quo—and explore how each could impact Ukraine, Europe, and U.S.-Russia relations. They also examine the broader strategic goals at play, the political signals from Washington, and what history might teach us about moments like this.

Maga arrived in Chipping Norton this week, heralding an intense round of British diplomacy ahead of the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska on Friday. Ukraine is top of the agenda and both Prime Minister Keir Starmer and foreign secretary David Lammy have been doing their bit liaising between US vice-president JD Vance and President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders. In this week's episode, host George Parker is joined by Europe editor Ben Hall and Whitehall editor David Sheppard to discuss how the UK is playing its hand on the global stage and the role of soft power in its negotiations.

David de Boer returns to the podcast to talk to Jana Byars about his first book, The Early Modern Dutch Press in the Age of Religious Persecution (Oxford UP, 2023). This book is available open source here. For victims of persecution around the world, attracting international media attention for their plight is often a matter of life and death. This study takes us back to the news revolution of seventeenth-century Europe, when people first discovered in the press a powerful new weapon to combat religiously inspired maltreatments, executions, and massacres. To affect and mobilize foreign audiences, confessional minorities and their advocates faced an acute dilemma, one that we still grapple with today: how to make people care about distant suffering? David de Boer argues that by answering this question, they laid the foundations of a humanitarian culture in Europe. As consuming news became an everyday practice for many Europeans, the Dutch Republic emerged as an international hub of printed protest against religious violence. De Boer traces how a diverse group of people, including Waldensians refugees, Huguenot ministers, Savoyard office holders, and many others, all sought access to the Dutch printing presses in their efforts to raise transnational solidarity for their cause. By generating public outrage, calling out rulers, and pressuring others to intervene, producers of printed opinion could have a profound impact on international relations. But crying out against persecution also meant navigating a fraught and dangerous political landscape, marked by confessional tension, volatile alliances, and incessant warfare. Opinion makers had to think carefully about the audiences they hoped to reach through pamphlets, periodicals, and newspapers. But they also had to reckon with the risk of reaching less sympathetic readers outside their target groups. By examining early modern publicity strategies, de Boer deepens our understanding of how people tried to shake off the spectre of religious violence that had haunted them for generations, and create more tolerant societies, governed by the rule of law, reason, and a sense of common humanity.

15.08.2025 pt 2 In this episode, Gareth and Ben dive into the complex debate around multiculturalism, arguing that while Europe's model has eroded cultural identity, South Africa's unique mix of traditions thrives without forced assimilation. They slam the homogenisation of culture into bland commercialism and champion cultural pride. The conversation shifts to Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad controversy, poking fun at the small but loud group of critics and exploring modern attitudes toward beauty and body image. From there, we share the story of Chloe Walker, who underwent forehead reduction surgery to boost her confidence, sparking a discussion on cosmetic surgery, self-improvement, and moving beyond childhood insecurities. In a bizarre turn, they dissect reports of Vladimir Putin traveling with a bulletproof suitcase containing his own bodily waste to avoid espionage, noting the paranoia and ego such measures reveal. The show wraps with a listener poll on the new three-hour format, with most respondents disliking it — though the gents vow to push ahead regardless. The Real Network

Todays' guest has been working on implanting the best technology into the London Market since the days when computer screens only displayed varying shades of green. He's someone who I have known for twenty years and have come to rely upon to unpack all the jargon, spell out the acronyms and explain in layman's terms what is really happening in the ongoing process of London Market technological reform. This is because Jeff Ward, the sales Director of Ebix Europe, is very wise, very patient and also very good company. He also has clear, common-sense opinions and is good at giving logical, concise answers to complex questions, when others might end up over-elaborating, or indeed over-simplifying. In short Jeff Ward is a market gem and an invaluable friend to help navigate the complex process of digitisation in which the market currently finds itself. Ebix Europe was behind the first iteration of PPL and is now in the market with the latest generation of that market pioneer, a sophisticated digital placing system called PlacingHub. As we sit on the cusp of a genuine revolution in the way global business is to be transacted and information flows through the market, Jeff outlines how the world of electronic placing is likely to develop and explains the genuine complexity of the re-engineering of London's core accounting and settlement systems in the first phase of the BluePrint 2 reforms. He also explains how adoption of data-first standards is fundamental, outlines why early attempts to change brokers' and underwriters' timeworn behaviour during the quoting and placing process did not succeed and looks at the best use cases, and probable limitations of, AI in insurance. I highly recommend you take the next 45 minutes to meet Jeff Ward, my great insurance technology friend and guide. I am absolutely certain that in no time he will become yours too.

Six Al Jazeera journalists have been killed in targeted strikes by Israel recently and much of the world is up in arms. On Thursday, television host Piers Morgan invited two journalists to discuss the issues and their very different takes. Jotam Confino is based in Israel and writes extensively for international media, primarily in Europe and the U.K. His commentary on this issue on social media and elsewhere has attracted significant attention and among those who took note is Piers Morgan. He invited Confino onto Uncensored last Thursday. Morgan hosts what is probably the most watched English language program dealing with current events. Confino is furious that these six journalists who worked for Al-Jazeera are being lionized as truth warriors, when they are nothing more than craven propaganda shills, in his view. Presenting a very different perspective is Jamal Elshayyal, a long-time Al-Jazeera newsman. Based on his defense of Al Jazeera editorial conduct as well as the work of his colleagues, Confino questions why he even considers himself a journalist. And Confino came to this standoff prepared. He studied the social media posts of many Al-Jazeera journalists. Elshayyal relies more upon eyerolls and dismissive expressions.Did Israel kill journalists? Or terrorist supporters paid to shill for Hamas?Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast Notes:* Link to full episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, aired Wednesday, August 14.* Social media post with footage of Al-Jazeera journalist, Anas Al Sharif - given exclusive access to film hostage Agam Berger as she was being released into Red Cross custody.

CFRA's Garrett Nelson has a $300 price target and a 3-star rating on Tesla (TSLA). He admits the stock has been an "underperformer" in 2025, but says his concerns now are about the company's 4Q performance in the wake of EV tax credits expiring. Garrett points to market share declines in China and Europe as another area to watch. On Elon Musk, Garrett adds that he's alienated a lot of consumers on both sides of the political spectrum which could impact the Tesla brand image.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

You can find all the wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts   Havana Syndrome is the name given to a series of mysterious health incidents that first came to public attention in late 2016, when U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers in Havana, Cuba, began reporting sudden, unexplained symptoms. The affected individuals described strange experiences—sometimes preceded by hearing a piercing, high-pitched sound or feeling pressure in their heads—followed by a range of medical issues, such as dizziness, headaches, nausea, hearing loss, vision problems, difficulty concentrating, and even cognitive impairment. The first wave occurred among personnel at the U.S. and Canadian embassies in Cuba, leading to strained diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Over the following years, reports of similar incidents spread to U.S. diplomats, spies, and other officials stationed in places like China, Russia, Europe, and even Washington, D.C. The U.S. government called the episodes "anomalous health incidents" (AHIs). From the start, theories about the cause varied widely: Directed Energy Weapons: One of the earliest and most sensational explanations was that a hostile power was using microwave or ultrasonic devices to target U.S. personnel, possibly for espionage or harassment. Sonic or Acoustic Devices: Early Cuban incidents led some to suspect hidden sound-based weapons, though experts quickly noted that most sound frequencies capable of causing physical harm would be unlikely to travel through walls and over distances without being obvious. Environmental Factors: Some scientists proposed that toxins, pesticides, or natural phenomena could have caused the symptoms. Mass Psychogenic Illness: Others suggested that stress, anxiety, and suggestion among closely knit groups could explain the spread of symptoms without a single physical cause. Medical Conditions: A few cases may have been unrelated illnesses that were misattributed to a larger pattern. Despite years of investigation—including from the FBI, CIA, CDC, and National Academies of Sciences—the cause remains disputed. In 2023, the U.S. intelligence community released an assessment stating that most cases could be explained by medical conditions, environmental factors, or stress responses, and that there was no credible evidence of a sustained foreign attack. However, some affected individuals and scientists remain unconvinced, pointing to the severity and clustering of symptoms as evidence of something more deliberate. The Havana Syndrome debate has since become part of both diplomatic security policy and modern espionage lore—half genuine medical mystery, half geopolitical intrigue. If you want, I can also map out the timeline of incidents to show how it spread from Havana to other parts of the world. That's where the story gets especially strange.

Foreign policy insider David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles for a blistering deep-dive into Donald Trump's high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska—and the dangerous implications for Ukraine, Europe, and global security. From Trump's flattery-fueled diplomacy and one-on-one meetings with no note takers, to Putin's KGB-honed manipulation tactics, Rothkopf exposes a portrait of ego, opportunism, and geopolitical risk. With insider accounts, sharp analysis, and startling parallels to past encounters, this episode unpacks how one man's insecurities and ambitions could shape the fate of nations. Hosted on Acast.

At the Alaska summit, Putin will likely be angling for a sequel of the Helsinki meeting, the infamous tête-à-tête in 2018 where Trump got rolled and cajoled. And because Trump refuses to accept that his charisma and imaginary friendship with Vladimir will never be enough to close a ceasefire deal, the best outcome for Ukraine is that Putin makes Trump mad by not helping him land his long-sought peace prize. Meanwhile, Russian intelligence has been busy recruiting assets to commit acts of terror and foment unrest in Western countries.

Oswego, New York was a bustling port in the 1800s, but long before that, there was Fort Ontario. The Fort represents over 260 years of history from its beginnings as an earthworks fort to a brick and mortar one and it has had a significant role in several conflicts. The structure was destroyed and rebuilt four times. There was a time that it was a huge general hospital as well as a safe haven for refugee Jews fleeing Europe during World War II. Today, the Fort is a living museum with costumed guides that lead all varieties of tours, including the ghost ones because there are several spirits here. Join us for the history and hauntings of Fort Ontario! The Moment in Oddity features Megaflash and This Month in History features the Double Eagle II Balloon.
