It's Tuesday, May 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Fulani Muslim killed 15 unarmed Nigerian Christians On Saturday, May 17th, armed Fulani Muslim militia opened fire on Agatu Christians in Benue State, Nigeria, killing 15 unarmed men. Throughout that North Central region, the Fulani have also killed 159 Christian residents over the last 40 days, according to TruthNigeria.com.   Pray for Christians in Nigeria, suffering the most severe violence in the world today. Romania turns left after election interference On Sunday, Romania has taken the centrist-left position with the election of a new president named Nicușor Dan. Dan is supportive of Romania's participation in the European Union, and has made moves to approve the homosexual/transgender movement in his country. The more conservative candidate, George-Nicolae Simion, lost the election in a vote of 54% to 46%. Romania is the second largest Eastern European country by population.  The mainstream media is interpreting this election as an international rejection of the Trump agenda.  The back story is that Călin Georgescu, the conservative in the first round of the Romanian presidential election last December, garnered the most votes among the six presidential candidates at that time. After his opponents claimed that Russia had influenced the election through TikTok accounts, Romanian government officials detained Georgescu, canceled that election, and re-set it for May 18th.  Tens of thousands of Romanians protested in the streets back in March. At the time, Elon Musk said, “They just arrested the person who won the most votes in the Romanian presidential election. This is messed up.” Most and least benevolent countries According to this year's Gallup World Happiness Report, the most benevolent countries in the world, judged by donations and volunteer hours, are Indonesia, the United States, Kenya, Gambia, United Arab Emirates, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand. The least benevolent countries are Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco.  Biden announces advanced prostate cancer Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, reports CBS News. On Sunday, President Trump posted on social media that he and First Lady Melania Trump are "saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis." Appearing on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Monday, former Obama health advisor Dr. Zeke Emanuel said the cancer is so advanced, he has had it for many years. SCARBOROUGH: “Doesn't it take some time for prostate cancer to develop to a point where it would spread to the bones?” EMANUEL: “He's had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading.” Dr. Emanuel explained how serious Biden's prostate cancer truly is. EMANUEL: “That Gleason score, that score is from 2 up to 10, and he's at a 9. That means that the cancer doesn't look normal. It looks very abnormal.” Appearing on Fox News with Jesse Waters, talk show host Hugh Hewitt was incredulous. HEWITT: “This is the fourth time, in a little over 100 years, that a Democratic president -- Woodrow Wilson, FDR, John F. Kennedy and now Joe Biden, have hidden crucial details about their health as Commander-in-Chief from the American people. Ronald Reagan did not do that. “And it just astonishes me that in a free republic, we have to worry about our leaders telling us whether they're healthy or not.” Supremes allows Trump to revoke protection for thousands of illegal Venezuelans On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling allowing the Trump administration to deport 350,000 Venezuelans who are presently living in the U.S. on what they call a “humanitarian parole,” reports NBC News. Christian camp sues over foolish transgender mandates The State of Colorado is threatening to shut down a Christian Camp called Idrahaje -- short for “I'd Rather Have Jesus.” The Colorado Department of Early Childhood has refused to grant the camp a religious exemption concerning its transgender policies. This would require the camp to allow boys, pretending to be girls, to sleep, shower, and dress with female campers. The camp has sued the state, with representation from Alliance Defending Freedom. The camp disciples 2,500 to 3,000 students each year with the mission to “win souls to Jesus Christ through the spreading of the Gospel.”  Camp Idrahaje has complied with all regulations until this year when the Colorado government officials released new gender identity rules that became effective on February 14, 2025. 96% of atheists embrace homosexual/transgender agenda The most likely group in America to support the homosexual/transgender agenda are atheists with 96% professing support.  By contrast, 70% of white Evangelical Protestants oppose the lifestyle. Psalm 14:1 describes the atheist this way: "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works.” Mother loses right to disciple daughter Liberty Counsel is defending a mother in the state of Maine who has lost the right to guide the religious upbringing of her 11-year-old girl in a custody case.  This includes taking her daughter to Calvary Chapel services on Sunday.   A state district judge has ruled against the mother, citing “The ‘fear mongering,' paranoia, and anxiety taught by Calvary Chapel has, more likely than not, already had an impact on [the daughter's] childhood development.”   Expert testimony concluded that Calvary Chapel is a cult, the church's pastor a “charismatic” speaker, who spoke “authoritatively” in his messages, and that he asserted his messages were objective truth.   Liberty Counsel is appealing the case to the Maine Supreme Court. They still persecute people who preach about Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 says, “For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.” Housing prices sag Since June 2022, housing prices are sagging in some metro areas around the U.S. — 22.8% in the Austin market, 9.9% in the Phoenix market, 9.2% in the San Francisco market, 9.1% in the San Antonio Market, 7.3% in the Denver market, and 6.7% in the Dallas Market. The Consumer Price Index has also risen about 10% over that period of time. Moody's downgraded America's financial rating And finally, in a year-over-year comparison, the U.S. government is still breaking records for fiscal expenditures running 10% over Fiscal Year 2024. Moody's has downgraded the U.S. as a long-term issuer of bonds by one notch, ending a perfect rating for America over the last 108 years.  No longer does the U.S, government get a Aaa rating, the highest level available. Now, it's an Aa1. Moody's noted that the downgrade "reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns.” The rating organization added that: “Successive U.S. administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs.”   Another independent rating service, named Fitch, downgraded the United States in 2023.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Elisabet Barnes is a 5x participant at MDS The Legendary and a 2x champion. In 2025, Elisabet returned to the Legendary with different goals, different perspectives and to experience the race without the pressure of the podium. Her last MDS participation was 2017. A great deal has happened in the last 8-years, Covid for one and of course, a change of organisation at The Legendary. With extensive experience of MDS as a participant and coach, Elisabet provides and in-depth insight of the 'new' Legendary. "...very friendly, cheerful, supportive, it was a very positive experience to come to a checkpoint or the finish line. There was always people on the course wether in buggies or a medic running the opposite way; I saw so many people on the course, it was good for moral but it also felt safe... but I never felt there was less people on the course, actually I think there was more and they could access everywhere." Evolution not revolution.

Dr Phil Williams is Professor Emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh, where he taught from January 1990 to April 2022.  In the first part of his career, at Aberdeen University, Southampton University, and Chatham House, he wrote books on Crisis Management, The Senate and US Troops in Europe, During the last 30 years his research has focused primarily on transnational organized crime, His most recent book is “The Mediterranean Connection: Criminal Networks and Illicit Economies in North Africa.” Aspects of criminal networks usually include the smugglers' toolkit: concealment, deception, circumvention and facilitation   North Africa itself can be understood as a space of flows – primarily south to north, but also north-south (hazardous waste) and horizonal flows, cannabis from Morocco moves Eastwards while counterfeit cigarettes move from Dubai to the Atlantic and through Algeria into Europe.    Some international assistance is provided by Interpol and the United Nations agencies to counteract this.

We recommend watching the video version of this episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Why Chefchaouen is a Unique Gem Within Morocco"Azdean sits down on-location with local guide Hamid to learn about the history of Chefchaouen, the famous blue city of northern Morocco.This small town roughly 4 hours north of Fes, or 2 hours south of Tangier, has been attracting tourists for decades and, in the age of Instagram, gets more popular every year.As Hamid and Azdean emphasize, Chefchaouen is not just about the stunning colours, but the beautiful architecture, historic Medina and kasbah, and its natural setting in the Rif mountains. Gentle creeks of water wind their way through the town, artisans and craftsmakers line the paths and lane ways, and fresh orange juice vendors squeeze delicious nectar to help you on the climb up to the Spanish mosque, where you get stunning views of the mountains, valleys and the rolling hills of blue. Hamid explains the historic founding of Chefchaouen as a refuge for both Muslim and Jewish refugees during the time of the Spanish Inquisition. The town is a perfect snapshot of Morocco's welcoming and tolerant nature.And we finally get a definitive answer as to why the city is blue. Although you may expect that this is something dating back centuries, the reality may surprise you!Chefchaouen is a calm and quiet jewel of Morocco, with many wonderful features to attract travellers looking for the exotic and colorful, as well as peaceful retreats, fresh mountain air, tremendous hiking and a laid-back spirit and hospitality. We previously posted this recording as audio-only, but now have a beautiful video version to share with you. We know that it won't take much to convince you to add it to your Morocco itinerary!

Morocco's Agriculture spokesman says it is not normal to restrict import and export movements. Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Australian Livestock Exporters Council Deputy Chief Executive Simon Kompo-Harms about the comments. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talmiz Ahmad, a former Indian ambassador to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, explains why Gulf nations led by Saudi Arabia tilt in favor of India despite long-running ties with Muslim Pakistan. Pakistan's refusal to join Saudi Arabia in its war against the Houthis — and a jihadi attack on Mumbai in 2008 — were a tipping point, he says.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In Episode #60, we dive into one of the most brutal and decisive phases of World War II. What made the Battle of Stalingrad a nightmare for Hitler? How did the desert warfare in North Africa shape the fate of the war? And what was Operation Torch—and why was it a game-changer? From the fierce house-to-house fighting on the Eastern Front to Rommel's tactical genius in the sands of Libya, and the Allied landings in Morocco and Algeria, this episode unravels the battles that marked the beginning of the end for the Axis powers.Reference Material:The Second World War by John Keegan - https://www.amazon.com/Second-World-W...Hitler's Table Talk by Heinrich Heim - https://www.amazon.com/dp/191564514X?...The Second World War by Antony Beevor - https://a.co/d/buiOkUXInferno: The World at War by Max Hastings - https://www.amazon.com/Inferno-World-...The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War by Andrew Roberts - https://a.co/d/eiI4n3ZWorld War II: The Definitive Visual History by DK & Smithsonian Institution - https://a.co/d/eUNHC1xThe Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy by Adam Tooze - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RF19SJD?...The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L.

President Trump has announced that his administration has reached a trade deal with the United Kingdom. Speaking in the White House, President Trump said the agreement would provide access to the British market for American beef and agricultural and industrial products.The presidents of Russia and China, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, have held what they described as productive talks at the Kremlin. China is Russia's biggest trading partner. It buys large amounts of oil and gas, helping to compensate for the loss of Western markets that followed Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.And Andrew Peach hears that Western Sahara, a disputed territory in North Africa, is experiencing a major economic change. Why?

Charles Lister, the head of the Syria Initiative at the Middle East Institute in Washington, argues that after five months in power Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the ultimate pragmatist, is adjusting to the complexity of governing his ethnically diverse and fractured country. This involves striking deals with the Kurds and Druze that fly in the face of the rigidly centralized model he once espoused. And contrary to popular belief he is not a "Turkish puppet,” Lister says.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Morocco has beautiful landscapes and movie sets from around the world. My favorite is Casablanca, which stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Thank you, everyone in Morocco, for listening. Our impossible need:To understand prayer, we need to understand being humanity.We cry before we are able to talk, but the reasons we cry and talk are the same. We are sinners. The natural state of our sons is selfishness and self-centeredness. We are complicated and bigger on the inside. We are built Biblically upside down. We look to what is best for us as an individual.The results: Estrangement from God, and isolation from one another. Our So What?We long to know others and be fully known by others, beginning with the God-shaped void in our souls.Our impossible solution, next time.

This episode of Only Business pulls 15 deeply reflective and unexpected business lessons from Game of Thrones. We break down real-world insights on leadership under pressure, legacy-building, emotional control, loyalty, succession, and decision-making when the stakes couldn't be higher. Each point is rooted in character choices and turning points from the series—brought to life through the lens of entrepreneurship, small business, and leadership.

The African cities of Bata and Al-Hoceima were created during the Spanish colonial rule of Equatorial Guinea and Morocco. Spain's African Colonial Legacies: Morocco and Equatorial Guinea Compared (Brill, 2022) constructs their local history to analyse how Spanish colonialism worked, what its legacies were and the imprints it left on their national histories. The work explains the revision of collective memories of the past in the present as a form of decolonisation that seeks to build different foundations for the future in a transnational and glocal framework. The result is an exciting puzzle of individual and collective memories in which Africans contest their colonial cultural heritage and shape their identities at a global level.

You can also watch this episode on video, where you'll see some of John's fabulous photos! You can find it on our YouTube channel here:A Morocco Travel Itinerary That's Made for Photographers!----Photographer and dedicated world traveller John Hernandez joins Azdean today to share his inspiring travel experience to Morocco, with an emphasis on photography. John recently travelled from Tangier, down through Chefchaouen, Fes (visiting Volubilis on the way), then Marrakech, the High Atlas Mountains, Essaouira and the Agafay Desert. This two week trip gave him enough time to get to know a few different places throughout the country, while not feeling rushed, something helped in turn by flying from Fes to Marrakech and thus saving the six hour drive.John delves into rich cultural interactions, including playing with musicians in the desert, captivating street scenes and amazing street food, staying in stunning riads (particularly in Fes), discovering pleasantly surprising local wine, incredible coffee, fresh olives and olive oil, leather goods and crafts, and picturesque landscapes that are a photographer's dream. A key concern for any photographer or videographer is of course the safety and security of their gear. John felt very safe throughout Morocco, particularly in Fes, which had a more relaxed vibe, and is less subjected to the buzz of motorbikes everywhere. Marrakech is however well-known for this scourge, and Azdean does include a warning to hold your items a little closer when you're in the souks there, lest they get snapped off your shoulder as a scooter whizzes by!Ultimately, John emphasizes the importance of immersing oneself in the local culture to truly appreciate and capture the essence of Morocco through photography. Take the time to chat with locals, wander at your own pace, give yourself free time and flexibility in your itinerary. Hire a local guide with the instructions to really get past the tourist stereotypes and uncover the true story of a place. As John says, "The only way this planet's gonna survive if we can get out of our own way and start connecting with folks from different cultures and learning. Because ultimately we all want the same thing. Cover photo credit: John Hernandez Do you dream of exploring the enchanting land of Morocco?Destination Morocco is your ultimate travel experience for those seeking luxury and adventure.

Though Morocco is over 99% Muslim, Rabat has popped up on our radar before, thanks to recent Cardinal López Romero winding up as Archbishop of Rabat after his continent hopping journeys. Cardinal Barbarin hasn't gotten credit as Morocco's first Cardinal, when you Google that up you get lots of Lopez Romero. Granted, Philippe Barbarin wasn't born in the modern nation of Morocco, rather he was born in French Morocco, like Cardinal Mamberti, if you remember that. And it's fair to not count colonizers who never really lived the same lives as the locals. I don't know for sure that Philippe actually fits that description, but that's also not the only reason folks might not be in a rush to credit him as the first Moroccan Cardinal… but I'm getting ahead of myself.   After Moroccan independence, Philippe wound up in France, experiencing the joys of military service while also studying a little theology and a lot of philosophy in Paris, getting a licentiate in the former from the Carmes Seminary and a doctorate in the latter from the Sarbonne.   In 1977, Philippe Barbarin was ordained a priest for the young diocese of Créteil, centered on an eponymous suburb southeast of Paris. From 1977 till 1985, he served as Vicar in two parishes: Notre-Dame d'Alfortville and Notre-Dame de Vincennes, Notre-Dame of course being French for “Our Lady”, on the off chance that you got this deep without already knowing that.   From ‘85 to ‘90, Father Barbarin served two parishes and a school simultaneously, as well as an ecumenical role in the diocese. The parishes, if you're wondering, were Saint François de Sales d'Adambille en Saint-Maur, and Saint-Hilaire de la Varenne.   From ‘91 to ‘94, Father Barbarin served as the pastor of Saint Léger Parish and then transferred quite a ways, effectively being loaned out to the Archdiocese of Fianarantsoa in Madagascar, where he taught theology at the Major Seminary of Vohitsoa. Which explains the presence of Malagasy, the dominant language of Madagascar, on the list of languages Cardinal Barbarin Speaks, along with English, Italian, Spanish, German, and of course his native French.   1998 was white phone time, when Father Barbarin heard from Pope Saint John Paul the Second that he was going to be made Bishop of Moulins, back in France. As is so often the case, you can see why the three bishops that consecrated him were chosen for the task: his principal consectator was the Archbishop of Fianarantsoa, who he had been serving under in Madagascar, accompanied by his original bishop in France from Créteil, as well as the Bishop emeritus of Moulins who he was replacing.   Physically located in pretty much the exact center of France, it's worth noting that I simply do not trust the demographic data Catholic-Hierarchy.org has for the Diocese of Moulins. I want to give them credit for their essential work, and it's entirely possible the error is in the sources they're relying on and not some issue on their end, but I don't see how you can have the shifts shown in the period recorded. I'm sure I've missed flagging bad data before, so don't take this as an indication that I'll point it out whenever there's something fishy floating around, but I do what I can and felt I should mention the oddity there. At some point when I get around to it I'll cross reference their source material since they're kind enough to cite it.   In 2002, Bishop Barbarin was chosen as the next Archbishop of the ancient see of Lyon in southeasternish France. Allegedly, Lyon was the Capital of the Gauls back when the Gauls were a thing, and in any event it's pretty universally agreed that it's old enough one of its first bishops was a disciple of a disciple of Saint John, so basically Jesus' spiritual great-grandson, and that wasn't even the *first* bishop there. To this day, the Archbishop of Lyon also carries the title of Primate of the Gauls.   In 2003, that is, at the next opportunity, Archbishop Barbarin was made a Cardinal, which is completely unsurprising given the status of Lyon: every Archbishop of Lyon in the 20th century was made a Cardinal. And as we know, the red hat gets you additional duties: he was made a member of the Congregations for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, and for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. Of course the most famous duty of a Cardinal is the one he exercised in the conclave of 2005 that elected Pope Benedict, and again in the 2013 election that gave us Pope Francis.   Later on in 2013, Cardinal Barbarin suffered a heart attack while in South America preparing for World Youth Day. An unsourced wikipedia entry states that he underwent a successful triple bypass surgery in Martinique a few days later, and I think it's safe enough to say something like that happened: in any event he did survive.   In 2016, Cardinal Barbarin began to get asked questions about his handling–or lack thereof-of a bad priest, a certain Father Bernard Preynat. Content warning, I'm not going to go into graphic detail but yes we're talking about the abuse of minors here. From 1971 to 1991 Father Preynat abused some seventy minors he encountered principally through the scouting program.   Obviously, and allow me to stress this emphatically, the charge against Barbarin was not the abuse itself, but rather his lack of disclosure of the situation to the authorities. This was very much a charge though, because his lack of reporting was apparently a crime, and as a victim myself- though not of clergy- rightly so. Apparently in 2019 when Cardinal Barbarin was originally convicted of failing to report and was given a six month suspended sentence, he offered his resignation to Pope Francis, who initially refused, speaking of the presumption of innocence, which seems an odd line to take given Barbarin had *just* been convicted, but hey what do I know.   In any event, the next year Cardinal Barbarin's conviction *was* overturned on appeal, so it seems Pope Francis was perhaps wise to wait, but then in March his holiness turned around and accepted Cardinal Barbarin's resignation after all, making him the Archbishop Emeritus of Lyon.    Cardinal Barbarin says he is available for whatever mission Pope Francis might entrust him with next.   Barring a further change in his status, which to be clear I do not expect as I think it would have happened already if it was going to happen, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin remains eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2030.   Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers. Stay tuned to see if today's Cardinal gets selected for a deeper dive in the next round! Thank you for listening; God bless you all!

A panic attack during Game of Thrones changed everything. Drowning in $100,000 of debt with 3% monthly compound interest, a desperate late-night call to mom led to an unexpected pivot—and the discovery of Airbnb as a business model.This raw conversation reveals how crisis becomes opportunity when we remain open to unexpected paths. We journey from the depths of financial anxiety to building a thriving business that began not with foreign capital or privileged connections, but with necessity and focus. The guest dismantles the myth that successful African entrepreneurs must bring money from abroad, explaining how he built his venture from scratch in Morocco before expanding to Ghana—finding even greater profitability on home soil.The wisdom shared transcends typical success advice. When Warren Buffett and Bill Gates were separately asked to write down the one word behind their achievements, both wrote "focus"—not hustle, not networking, not innovation. This principle of mastering one industry completely before diversifying became the foundation for seven years of consistent growth.Looking toward our AI-driven future, the guest offers a compelling framework: our grandparents made money through physical work, today's generation profits through knowledge, but tomorrow's success will come from who you are—your personal brand and reputation. In a world where artificial intelligence can provide information, people will seek trusted human perspectives on that information.From the depths of debt to business triumph, this story reminds us that sometimes the fire chasing us becomes the very fuel propelling us forward. As the guest poignantly shares in his native language: "If what is chasing you doesn't stop, you cannot stop." What's chasing you today, and how might it transform your tomorrow?Support the showWatch the video episode of this on YouTube - https://linktr.ee/konnectedminds

Couch Potato Theater: Sahara (2005) Watch: Fandom Podcast Network YouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/@FandomPodcastNetwork Listen: Couch Potato Theater Audio Podcast Link: https://fpnet.podbean.com/category/couch-potato-theater Welcome to Couch Potato Theater, where we celebrate our favorite movies on the Fandom Podcast Network! On this episode we celebrate and discuss the 20th Anniversary of action-adventure film Sahara (2005). Plot: Master explorer Dirk Pitt goes on the adventure of a lifetime of seeking out a lost Civil War battleship known as the "Ship of Death" in the deserts of West Africa while helping a World Health Organization doctor being hounded by a ruthless dictator. Sahara is a 2005 action-adventure film directed by Breck Eisner based on the best-selling 1992 novel of the same name by Clive Cussler. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn and Penélope Cruz, and follows a treasure hunter who partners with a WHO (World Health Organization) doctor to find a lost American Civil War Ironclad warship in the Sahara Desert. The film was shot in 2003 on-location in Morocco as well as in the United Kingdom. It became notable for its many production issues, including doubling its production budget from $80 million to $160 million and a series of lawsuits. Sahara grossed $119 million worldwide at the box-office, ultimately failing to recoup all of its costs, and is often listed among the biggest box-office failures of all time.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:48  Hi, Be It babe. Happy FYF. Happy last Friday of April. Here we are. We did it. We made it. We're here. You did it. I have so many, I have a great win to share with you, and I've got wins of yours to share, and I've got something that's really inspiring, and this blew my mind. Okay, here we go. Lesley Logan 1:02  Last year, this is from hearherstories on Instagram. Last year, Victoria made history by appointing Australia's first parliamentary secretary for men's behavior change, addressing toxic masculinity and its role in rising domestic violence rates. Tim Richardson's role focuses on reshaping boys and men's attitudes towards women and tackling the harmful influence of social media. Should other countries adopt similar roles to combat gender violence and promote equality? Let us know your thoughts. Yes, yes, I'm so, so, I'm so obsessed with this, you know, like we have had some epic guests on this podcast to talk about healthy masculinity and relationships and communication. And I know, everyone listening to this, my few good men, like, you know we're not talking about you, and I just love that a country saw there's a rise in domestic violence and what's happened on social media, and they are, and they're doing something to change it. And it's not gonna change overnight. This is, like, years in the making, but like, we gotta start somewhere educating people that this is not a competition. People of a different gender or different color than you are not your competition. And people who are different than you are not making the world a worse place. They making the world a better place. And so we've gotta get out of this fear-based mindset. And I think that this is just a really cool thing that a country is doing. So way to go, Australia. You win. I wish that was happening here, but maybe it'll happen in other places, and eventually that will help here. Lesley Logan 2:33  So anyways, all right, your wins. There we go. All right, Ainsley Walker. We have a couple wins from her, and I just love I can hear her accent when I read them, so I'm going to read them to you, and this will be our wins for the last Friday in April. So I've been moving through the eLevate replays the last few days, reformer and mat. Took a few days off, enjoyed a family holiday, and I fully took a break. And I'm watching the faces on the screen, and then realize we are no longer them. I see you all move now, and you are not those people. We have grown so much in a year in so many ways, and it makes us so happy, full of gratitude and proud of us. The work we put in last year, the time we invested and continued to I looked at me on the screen and literally wanted to hug me, tell me, it's going to be okay. Better than okay, better than I could imagine. I'm so excited to work my way through these and keep growing. Thank you all, and Lesley, Happy New Year, and incredible people, thank you all for being here and supporting me and each other. I'm also so excited to meet more of you this year in Las Vegas. And she had another win later on, which is I took a full break to the beautiful Maldives, where there was a small, empty gym studio, and I did my own mat practice. Every morning at 6am I did it every day, then walked on the beach, saw the sunrise and then joined the family at breakfast. I saw every sunrise and sunset, and time seemed to be plentiful. It gave me space to reflect on what an incredible year I'd had, and none of it I knew of before. So thank you for Pilates and all it is gifting me. I embrace the rain again, and I now feel ready for this year, and I'm so grateful for this rest without fear and knowing I'm still getting paid. I start back tomorrow teaching. My first class is mat. I'm excited because my daily practice, it's in my body. And I traveled for this year, took me to Las Vegas, Philly, Morocco, Cambodia, Maldives. I completed eLevate. Clients kept coming with full classes. I got stronger, physically and mentally. Relationships mended and evolved by me setting boundaries, talking honestly and unapologetically. It was incredible. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Well, Ainsley, thank you. I want to share only yours today, because one, you're such a beautiful writer, but two, I've said this before. I said to people when I talk about Ansley, I love the way she sees the world, and I want her wins to be something that helps you see that you can see the world this way too. Now, of course, obviously you see things that are differently, and you can reflect differently when you're on vacation versus when you're not, but where in your day are you taking time to reflect? When are you actually thinking about who you were a year ago? I love that she went through the replays and was able to go, wow, look how far we've come. Like, when are you doing that in your life or in your business or in a relationship? When are you actually acknowledging, like, just how freaking far you've come? You're different, right? I look at pictures myself when I thought I was like, younger and hotter, and I actually can see, like, actually today, 10 years later, I am much hotter and more confident. You know, even when I'm scared, I'm more confident. And so I think it's so important that we all, like, literally, just go into your phone and pick, like, write in the date on your photos from 10 years from now, and just see where were you? How far have you come? You know. What an epic win. So thank you, Ansley, for inspiring us all. Lesley Logan 5:53  My win. Okay, so this Sunday, we are kicking off spring training, and my win is a team's win. We have, you know, we did surveys more than six months ago. We came up with the idea and tossed it around and percolated on it, and we worked on it. So many people on our team have worked on it, not only the seven OPC teachers, but also, like a good 10 people on the team, because there's people who made the images, and people did the copywriting. People did the value statements, and then I wrote the emails, and then my assistant made sure I had time in my schedule and like so we kick it off on Sunday, and I'm just so proud of the work that we did. Now, in this moment that I'm recording, I don't know if we are surpassing our goals or not. I won't know that until after May 3rd, but in this moment, on this day, when I am celebrating this, like, the team and I, we all worked together as if we had hit this goal. And I share that with you because, you know, I had a coach say on all the goals he's had in the last six years. He's missed most of them, but he's successful because he worked like a person who could meet those goals. And so what does that mean? It means like, let's say you have a goal to run a marathon and have a PR, and let's say you actually, you know, work a training program. You fuel correctly, you sleep correctly, you do all the things, and you run the marathon, but you don't PR, is that a failure? No fucking way, because you actually did the things that would have PR do. Maybe you had a headwind, right? But if you sign up for a marathon, you want a PR, and then you, like, postpone some of the long days, and you didn't do the sprint runs, and then you didn't fuel well, and of course, you didn't hit a PR, well, that would be the failure, because, and not even a failure. Just be feedback. Like, you didn't act like the runner who could PR, you didn't do the things that a runner who would PR would do, right? So what I would just say is like, please notice if you miss a goal by whatever the numbers are, but you did all the things that could have done it. That's a win, always. It's always successful. So I'm so proud of my team and all that we've done and accomplished together, and I'm so excited for the impact that Spring Training is going to make and you can join it, opc.me/events, you know, because there's replays. So it's pretty awesome. Lesley Logan 8:11  All right, your mantra. Just because I feel it, doesn't mean I need to carry it with me. Just because I feel it doesn't mean I need to carry it with me. Just because I feel it doesn't mean I need to carry it with me. What are you gonna let go of right now? You're amazing. Thank you so much. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 8:37  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Tune in for an episode with Zoe Alexandra, Indian journalist Prasanth R, and Roger McKenzie, international editor of Morning Star, as they discuss the ongoing United Nations conference for reparations for enslavement, the anti-trust cases against Meta and Google, the protests against the docking of the ship Nexoe Maersk in Morocco as part of the people's arms embargo, stunted peace talks in Ukraine, the hunger strikes of Alaa Abd el-Fattah and his mother to fight for his freedom, as well the passing of Pope Francis and his legacy as a supporter of various peoples movements.

Morocco's Bab L'Bluz fuses traditional Gnawa with rock and psychadelia. Spin Magazine says their latest album, Swaken, defies the "limits of style and space-time." We catch them in the middle of a U.S. tour and they perform live in our studio.

On a hot summer day in Dallas Texas, in an upscale Dallas restaurant and bar, a failure of a man would commit the largest mass murder in the City's history by shooting seven people, killing six. Just after midnight on June 29th, 1984, Abdelkrim Belachheb took six lives at the Iannis Restaurant and Bar as he had an argument with one patron, Marcell Ford, as she turned away his advances. He then would leave the bar and return with a gun and committed an act that would rock Dallas, alter the victim's families lives forever, and expose a legal loophole in the State of Texas. This breakdown of these murders will detail the suspect's life prior to entering the United States on a false Visa and show his lifetime of aggression and violence that would lead him from Morocco to a Dallas Texas nightclub. In 1984 it was not a capital death penalty crime to murder one of more persons, a huge oversight in Texas State law. Retired Dallas Police Officer Tom Hall was the first in the door at the club after the shooting and in this episode he gives us a firsthand account. Fugitive Unit Sgt, Marcell Ford, was the niece of the suspects first victim and she bears her name in her aunt's honor. Sgt. Ford sat with us to talk about this events impact on her family that would have a ripple effect through generations. We want to dedicate this episode to the victims that lost their lives in Dallas Texas, 1984.   Marcell Ford (deceased) Linda Lowe (deceased) Janice Smith (deceased) Ligia Koslowski (deceased) Joe Menasi (deceased) Frank Parker (deceased) John McNeil (wounded) Sources used: DPD case file The novel, Worse than Death, by Gary M. Lavergne   Incident: June 29th, 1984, 12801 Midway Rd, Dallas Texas Suspect would enter Ianni's Restaurant and Club and shot seven patrons, six of that would die.

  Today on Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Zineb Riboua, a research fellow and program manager of Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East. She specializes in Chinese and Russian involvement in the Middle East, the Sahel, and North Africa, great power competition in the region, and Israeli-Arab relations. Riboua's pieces and commentary have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy, the National Interest, the Jerusalem Post and Tablet among other outlets. She holds a master's of public policy from the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University. She did her undergraduate studies in France, where she attended French preparatory classes and HEC Paris' Grande Ecole program. Her Substack is Beyond the Ideological. Razib and Riboua discuss the Trump administration's theory of tariffs as a tool of foreign policy and his attitudes toward multilateral diplomacy. They explore whether any principle beyond power and dominance underlies the current administration's approach, and consider the role of principles and values in foreign policy. Riboua elaborates a realist perspective in line with the thinking of Henry Kissinger. States have interests and abilities to execute on those interests; idealism is secondary. Riboua also discusses the fact that Trump seems attuned to how foreign politicians relate to the American domestic scene. He seems willing to punish those abroad whom he perceives to be favorable to his political enemies and reward those who are personally favorable toward him. Razib then asks Riboua about the geopolitics of her native Morocco, a relatively stable monarchy on northwest Africa's edge that has promoted moderate Islam, a good relationship with Europe and maintained a stable democracy.
