RANDOM ATTACKS TAKE PLACE IN MULTIPLE RECREATIONAL AREAS AROUND THE USA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Global: Around the world, the push for more censorship and a reduction of privacy continues to grow in size and scope. In the United Kingdom, politicians have called for an expansion of the Online Safety act to include generic search engines such as Google. Following the implementation of the Online Safety Act, several other EU member states have also voiced their support for similar efforts in their nations, which include: Italy, Greece, Denmark, Spain, and France.Germany: Outrage has resulted from a recent push in Bavaria to tax groundwater. As of January 1, 2026, residents of the region will be taxed 10 cents per cubic meter of groundwater that is pumped out of the ground on one's own property.Analyst Comment: Once various entities around the world realize that this tax will just result in general discontent, and not an outright open rebellion, this tactic will expand greatly to be utilized by other nations.Ireland: New footage has come to light regarding an Islamic terror attack that took place in Dublin on Tuesday. The video of the attack confirms that the assailant shouted Islamic phrases during the attack, in which he approached a police officer from behind, stabbing him with a large knife.Analyst Comment: Continuing the trend of European media, all references to this attack strategically omitted all references to terrorism, with all media groups calling this incident an "unprovoked attack" and protecting the identity of the terrorist. This half-truth omits the detail that the individual was attempting to commit an act of jihad.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Various trade deals remain in development with the White House granting Mexico an extension regarding the implementation of a deal with the United States. South Korea also finalized their re-negotiation of trade policy with the United States yesterday.North Carolina: A shooting was reported at the Avalon Fishing Pier in Kill Devil Hills this afternoon. One person was killed and another wounded during the engagement, with the shooter egressing from the area before being immediately captured nearby. No further details have been provided on this shooting, or what prompted the incident in what is normally a low-crime area.Colorado: This afternoon an ICE-involved shooting was reported in the Black Forest area near Colorado Springs. Federal authorities state that immigration enforcement operations were underway throughout the area this afternoon, when two illegals in a vehicle attempted to ram an officer while trying to escape the scene. One agent engaged the vehicle with small arms, which was later abandoned by the assailants. The status of the illegals remains unknown, and a significant police presence has been noted throughout the area.Georgia: Four people have been arrested for an attack that took place at the Low Gap Campground last weekend, and more details pertaining to the case have also come to light. A man and his daughter were fishing when four individuals hit him over the head with a glass bottle, knocking him unconscious and causing severe bleeding. The man's daughter was also attacked, but managed to stab her attackers with her knife, causing the attackers to flee.Arkansas: An assailant has been arrested in conjunction with a double-homicide investigation at  Devil's Den State Park, following the discovery of the remains of two hikers on a trail in the park on Saturday. The attacker has been identified as Andrew James McGann, who was arrested today after confessing to the murders.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: These attacks are an unfortunate reminder

Tonight, we'll read from Pythagoras and the Delphic Mysteries, written by Édouard Schuré and published in English in 1909. This work is part of Schuré's larger cycle The Great Initiates, which presents the lives and teachings of spiritual figures like Krishna, Hermes, Orpheus, Plato, and Jesus through a blend of historical research and philosophical interpretation. In this volume, Schuré attempts to reconstruct the hidden life of Pythagoras—not only as a mathematician but as a mystic, reformer, and initiate into the sacred traditions of ancient Egypt, Greece, and India. Schuré's writing reflects the 19th-century fascination with esoteric knowledge and spiritual evolution. While modern scholarship may question some of his interpretations, the result is a richly imaginative account that captures how Pythagoras was viewed not just as a historical figure, but as a symbol of harmony, wisdom, and the mystical power of number. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Developments in the Middle East have come thick and fast this week. On Tuesday the IPC - a UN-backed monitor group - warned that the "worst-case scenario of famine" is unfolding in the Gaza Strip. Britain, meanwhile, warned that unless Israel met a number of conditions before the UN General Assembly convenes next month, it would join France in recognising a State of Palestine. Meanwhile, the Israeli occupied West Bank has received little international attention since the war in Gaza began. Attacks by Jewish settlers on Palestinians living there are on the rise - up by 13 percent over the past year, says the UN. We examine attacks in one village and a town.Also in the programme: Why is Greece detaining all migrants arriving from North Africa? And the English city of Birmingham says goodbye to Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne.(Photo: Locals inspect a burnt car in the Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh near the West Bank city of Ramallah, 28 July 2025. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, Israeli settlers attacked the village of Taybeh and set two vehicles on fire and spray-painted racist slurs on walls.

Emma Cowell wrote her debut novel, 'One Last Letter from Greece', through the pandemic to come to terms with losing her mother. Since then, she's published more novels and been translated into 9 languages. They're inspired by Greece and its islands. We discuss how she gets the places right. Who does she speak to? How does she learn? Where does she travel to tell the island's story authentically?The new novel is 'Under the Lemon Tree'. Here's the blurb -Shattered by the sudden loss of her twin, Nik, Kat is lost in grief. The comfort of family feels both soothing and suffocating, but everything changes when she inherits a house on the breathtaking Greek island of Agistri from a mysterious uncle she's never met. Arriving on Agistri, Kat is mesmerized by its crystalline waters, lush pine forests, and the citrus-scented air. Among the white-washed houses and warm, welcoming locals, she begins to feel her heart heal. The island offers more than solace, sparking courage in Kat to face her loss ― and maybe even embrace the spark of unexpected love… But as she unearths her family's buried past, Kat must also confront her own fears of belonging, forgiveness ― and the possibility of rediscovering happiness in the shadow of heartbreak… We discuss her previous work as an actor and news presenter, and how they have impacted the way she tells stories. Also, you can hear how she knows when to stop, how she pulls herself through tricky writing times, and we run through Emma's path to publication.This episode might make you want to go on holiday.Get a copy - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport us - patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

Usama Dakdok is the Founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast Revealing the Truth About Islam. Born and raised in Egypt, Usama learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. He also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, which is Islamic law. Islam is pushing for world domination. Consider what is happening in France, the UK, Montreal, Canada, and Greece, and also what is being witnessed right here in the United States. A strong contender in the race for mayor of America's largest city, New York City, is a Muslim man who has called for the defunding of police, the very system of public protection to uphold the law, and has refused to condemn "globalize the intifada." This is in a city that has the largest concentration of Jews in the U.S. We also see another Muslim rising up vying to be mayor of Minneapolis. As a matter of fact, just 9 months ago, Voice of America ran a story titled, "Muslim candidates surge in local elections in US." CBN recently ran a story in which they quoted Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, who said, "I think it's very important for Americans to understand that there is a plan of the Muslim Brotherhood. They have a vision, in 100 years, to make America a Muslim state." And yet with the trajectory we are presently on, it will take far less than 100 years for this to happen. We've got many stories to bring to your attention today, all which focus on Islam's push for world domination.

"Paul, writing from Ephesus, where he stayed for more than two years... [to] the Christian church at Corinth, which was then the largest town in Greece... It would have been full of a cosmopolitan crowd, and even in those days a byword for immorality." From the introduction. 

Beverly Schlotte, age 76, loves living on her farm near Webster, South Dakota, where she and her late husband, married 53 years, “worked and planned together” as they raised their family of four. After retirement from many years of teaching “kids that I loved,” Beverly hosted a foreign exchange student from Madrid, Spain during the 2024-2025 school year. Beverly and her family were chosen as one of the top four Education First host families in the nation. Beverly plans a trip to Spain, perhaps after her trip to Turkey where she will be shopping for a wedding dress with her grandson's fiancé. Traveling with her adult children are special journeys that have taken them to Greece and more recently to Norway, the land of her ancestors. Beverly, 100% Norwegian, felt like “Norway was home—these are my people.” Beverly connects with people in her community through reading, cards, quilting, and church groups. She finds that growing older offers freedom “to focus on what's important, to worry less, and to love the children.” I choose what hurts and I choose to be happy. - Beverly Schlotte Connect with BeverlyEmail: lbschlotte@itctel.com Sponsor AppreciationWomen's Connection is a nonprofit women's group with chapters around the country. Members are vibrant, accomplished women, age 50 and forward, who connect around common interests, empower each other to thrive, and stick together as they travel through the stuff of life, no matter what comes their way. https://womenconnecting.org Podcast Collaborator—Member of The Age-Wise CollectiveRecommending Host Beverly Glazer, Aging With Purpose And Passion, a weekly podcast inspiring women over 50 to embrace bold life shifts, and unlock their potential, through captivating stories from trailblazing senior women. https://www.agingwithpurposeandpassion.com

One-Act Play Collections - Book 14, Part 2 Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 14 Overview: Here, in our 14th collection, are 10 One-Act Plays for your enjoyment. They range from the farm to the courtroom to the palace throne room; from the time of suffragettes to the (at the time) far distant future of 1999; and two of them have the word "sweet" in their titles. Short gems to make you laugh, cry, think, or all three. A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.

Today, we revisit our conversation with Her Honour Nola Karapanagiotidis. Before becoming a Country Court Judge in 2021, Nola had a variety of experiences in the law, beginning as an articled clerk at Victoria Legal Aid all the way to the bar, with a large amount of pro bono work along the way. Interestingly, Nola is the first female Greek / Australian County Court Judge in Victoria. Her parents migrated from Greece in the 1960s with no English and limited education. From those humble beginnings, Nola and her brother Kon have had a huge impact on our legal system and it was a pleasure to explore that journey in our conversation. www.greenslist.com.au/podcast

A conversation with Sheila Darmos, co-founder of the Southern Lights, based in the southern Peloponnese, Greece with the mission is to spread knowledge, techniques, and the mindset for regenerative practices across all domains of human activity. Sheila is also a co-founding farmer of the European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture (EARA) and serves as an EU Soil Mission Ambassador.A question we get very often is: which place or country is leading the regenerative movement? It's obviously a very complex question to answer, but after talking to Sheila, our answer might be Greece. Having battled numerous economic and non- economic crises, it seems that those who have stayed don't have much to lose. There is a strong back-to-the-land movement, well-organized local organizations helping farmers and land stewards' transition, and people who want to return to the land more easily.Perhaps the fact that 10% of the workforce is still active in agriculture helps, along with Greece's long history of farming without fully going down the super-mechanized, industrial, extractive path. The rural-urban divide is very real and it's not easy at all, but maybe farming and food are the way to break down those barriers.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return. Hosted by Koen van Seijen.==========================

This week on Comics and Chronic we're marking our milestone 300th episode with Zack Snyder's 300 based off the cult classic graphic novel by Frank Miller.  In 480 B.C. a state of war exists between Persia, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas (Gerard Butler), king of the Greek city state of Sparta, leads his badly outnumbered warriors against the massive Persian army. Though certain death awaits the Spartans, their sacrifice inspires all of Greece to unite against their common enemy.We made it to episode 300 despite Cody's sabotage attempts at a comedy festival & Anthony's desire to change our name.  But first Jake learns how to correctly pronounce Bon Iver.  This movie is stacked with actors such as Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, Dominic West, Michael Fassbender, & others.  Is this movies ableist?  This is a dude's DUDE movie.  Men killing, sweaty CGI and, boobies, murder, blood, wolves, cripples everything a man needs to see to feel like a man.  Also gave rise to one of cinema's most famous lines:  “THIS IS SPARTA!”  This is easily o e of or if not Zack Snyder's best movie.  Some great fight scenes and cinematography even with the CGI.  It's also almost page for page the comic 300.  Could the Hot Boys have held the hot gates?  Where does 300 rank on Zack Snyder's movies with fans?  Anthony's childhood is similar to that of a boy's childhood in 300?  Did this movie destroy what the ideal male body should look like?  How does this movie age now that we're no longer hormonal teenage boys?  Tune in today for our milestone 300th episode!New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

Most nonprofits wait for permission: a grant panel, a sponsor, an award to tell them they're the best. This episode flips that script. Today, I share why it's time to claim your brilliance, boldly articulate what makes you exceptional, and anchor your authority before anyone else does. From a five-star Airbnb in Greece to awkward sponsor meetings where leaders freeze, this conversation unpacks the mindset shifts and tactical moves that help you own your impact. Because you don't need a medal to stand out, you need the courage to plant your flag.Topics:Why so many nonprofits struggle to claim their brilliance (and how to break the cycle)The power of repetition and why your message needs to be heard 17 timesThe difference between bragging and anchoring your authorityReal-life examples: Airbnb reviews, sponsor meetings, and what clarity really sounds likePractical ideas for showcasing your impact everywhere—pitch decks, websites, thank you notes, and beyondHow to reframe your mindset from “Who am I to say this?” to “Who am I not to?”For a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Ten years after Greece's thunderous “NO” to austerity, Yanis Varoufakis sits down with film-maker Raoul Martinez and host Mehran Khalili to revisit that historic showdown with Europe's political establishment. We bust the official myths, look at lessons learned, and spell out what activists across Europe must do next. If you missed the story: Greece elected the anti-austerity Syriza party in early 2015, with Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. After months of bruising talks with the European Central Bank, IMF and European Commission, the government put the creditors' terms to a 5 July referendum. Sixty two percent voted NO — but days later, Athens agreed to a third “bailout”, Yanis resigned, and Greece was locked into another cycle of cuts that to this day, it still hasn't escaped.  *** SPECIAL OFFER: Use code Storm25 to get 20% off the documentary we discuss in this video, In the Eye of the Storm! https://vimeo.com/ondemand/eyeofthestormenglish *** In this talk, we unpack the new six-part series In the Eye of the Storm – from secret Eurogroup recordings to the street-level activist energy in Athens – and draw fresh lessons on leverage, media war, plan B economics and movement discipline.

With President Trump's tariffs putting a sharp focus on China, most will likely be closely watching negotiations between the two as they look to avoid a full-blown trade war. In the meantime, the EU also has its eye on China, as Beijing's wide trade surplus with the bloc and its backing of Moscow are key concerns. Brad Setser, the Whitney Shepardson senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations with an expertise in global trade, joins Thanos Davelis today as we take a closer look at how Europe is shifting when it comes to China.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Ursula von der Leyen tells Xi Jinping EU-China ties are at ‘inflection point'Wildfires rage in Greece and Turkey as extreme heat persistsNew legislation will grant legal status to Mt Sinai monastery

When Evil Arises ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | July 27, 2025---------- EPISODE SUMMARY What do you do when it feels like evil is winning and God is nowhere to be found? Through the dramatic story of Esther chapter 3, Michael Shockley introduces us to one of history's most dangerous villains - Haman the Agagite. From a 500-year-old blood feud to a genocidal plot that threatened to eliminate all Jewish people, discover how God works behind the scenes even when His name isn't mentioned. Learn from the inspiring story of Corrie ten Boom and her Nazi concentration camp experience that sometimes what looks like abandonment is actually God's protection. When darkness seems to triumph, remember this truth: the Cross looked like defeat, but Sunday was already on the schedule. Core Message: Evil may rise, but God is already writing the rescue. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED Opening Stories: Death and Faith - The loss of cultural icons from the 80s and 90s - Malcolm Jamal Warner's Christian faith and peaceful character - Hulk Hogan's recent baptism and testimony about Jesus - Ozzy Osborne's reported possible deathbed conversion to Christianity - How unexpected people can embrace the Gospel Meet the Villain: Haman the Agagite - Haman's promotion to Grand Vizier, the king's highest official - His possession of the king's signet ring and ultimate authority - The epitome of someone who clawed and connived for power - His demand for everyone to bow and pay homage to him Mordecai's Refusal to Bow - Religious convictions about not engaging in false worship - The danger of making idols out of people or political systems - Standing up to insufferable, grandstanding leadership - A quiet act of conscience rooted in faith in a Greater King The Ancient Blood Feud - Haman as descendant of Agag, king of the Amalekites - The Amalekites' history of unprovoked attacks against Israel - God's judgment through King Saul and the Prophet Samuel - King Saul's disobedience in sparing King Agag - Mordecai as a relative or likely descendant of King Saul from the tribe of Benjamin The Genocidal Plot - Haman's plan to exterminate all Jews in the Persian Empire - The empire's scope from India to Ethiopia, Greece to Caucasus Mountains - The financial incentive offered (equivalent to $200 million today) - The casting of lots (Pur) to determine the timing - How God influenced the lots to fall nearly a year later What It Looks Like vs. What's Really Happening - Evil rising vs. God writing the rescue - Haman in charge vs. God in control - Mordecai defiant vs. God faithful - Haman controlling calendar vs. God ordaining timing - King passive vs. King of Heaven active - God silent vs. God sovereign - Jews doomed vs. deliverers already in place The Corrie ten Boom Story - Dutch watchmaker's family hiding Jews during Holocaust - Arrest and imprisonment at Ravensbrück concentration camp - The flea-infested Barracks 28 that seemed like abandonment - How the fleas kept guards away, allowing Bible studies and worship - God using the very thing that seemed like punishment as protection ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "People get all bent out of shape when God doesn't do something to stop evil. And when God does something to stop evil, people get all bent out of shape." "Haman thought he was picking the best time for genocide. In truth, God picked the perfect time for rescue." "There is a big difference between what it looks like and what's really happening." "The Cross looked like defeat. The Tomb looked like the end. But Sunday was already on the schedule." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 3:1-6, 7, 15 - Supporting Texts: 1 Samuel 15 (Saul and the Amalekites), 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - Key Theme: God's sovereignty working through human evil for ultimate good - Historical Context: Ancient blood feud between Amalekites and Jews - Forward Connection: Preservation of Jesus' lineage through Jewish survival ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION When You Feel Evil Is Winning: - Remember there's a difference between what it looks like and what's really happening - Trust that God is writing the rescue even when you can't see it - Don't assume God is absent just because circumstances are difficult - Call on God and ask Him to show Himself strong When Wrong People Seem to Be in Power: - Avoid making idols out of political systems or leaders - Practice quiet acts of conscience rooted in faith - Remember that human authority is temporary, God's authority is eternal - Stand up for your convictions even when it's unpopular When You Face Systematic Evil or Persecution: - Trust that God can use even the worst circumstances for protection - Look for opportunities to minister and share faith even in dark places - Remember that what seems like abandonment might be God's provision - Hold onto hope that deliverance is coming even when you can't see how When You're Tempted to Compromise Your Faith: - Follow Mordecai's example of quiet resistance based on conviction - Don't bow to pressure when it conflicts with worship of the true God - Understand that standing for truth may bring persecution - Trust that God sees your faithfulness even when others don't When You Question God's Timing: - Remember that God ordains timing even when humans think they control it - Trust that delays in justice don't mean God isn't working - Understand that God may be positioning people and circumstances for rescue - Wait on God's perfect timing rather than demanding immediate action ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION On the surface, it may seem like evil is winning and God is on vacation. But underneath it all, God is at work, quietly putting the pieces together for a rescue nobody sees coming. The Cross looked like defeat. The Tomb looked like the end. But Sunday was already on the schedule. When evil rises, when darkness closes its grip, when life itches and bites and burns and stings, don't assume God is absent. Even fleas and wicked decrees become a part of His rescue. Do you see evil around you? Are you wondering where God is? Call on Him. Ask Him to show Himself strong. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Remember: God's fingerprints are all over your story even when His name isn't mentioned. The Unseen Hand of God is at work, writing your rescue before evil even makes its move.

In today's episode, Rachel is talking to you from Greece as she visits on a family vacation. Greece holds a special place in Rachel's heart, as this was a country she visited with her mom when she was little, but also on her first solo trips without parents, and even on her honeymoon. Reminiscing on all the trips in the past leads Rachel to today - now on a trip with her little family. She talks about the magic of summer, of playing in the water with her children, of visiting ancient temples and legendary trees, and of really good food and really good wine.  But even surrounded by all this beauty, it can be hard to slow down if life back home is still busy. Do you have trouble slowing down in the summer? Are you savoring these moments as much as you could be? And how can you support yourself and your nervous system so you can take it all in and enjoy exactly where you are? Today's episode is full of storytelling, pondering, and a beautiful reminder to appreciate this moment - it's all you've got.
