(Mimic In The Mirror) *** The short story “Eight O'Clock In The Morning” by Ray Nelson – the inspiration for the movie “They Live!” *** Left-handedness: once a mark of the devil, now a unique trait celebrated across the globe. From the Salem Witch Trials to modern-day challenges with spiral notebooks, left-handers have been forced to navigate a world designed for righties, despite the historical stigmas, surprising advantages, and the evolving recognition of left-handers in combat, culture, and commerce. (Left-Handers Are In League With The Devil) *** In the shadow of Switzerland's majestic Eiger mountain, 29-year-old Aidan Roche vanished without a trace during a solo hiking trip. Despite an unlocked camper-van and one last eerie messages sent from the trail, his disappearance remained shrouded in mystery. Months later, a grim discovery brought more questions than answers. (The Disappearance of Aidan Roche) *** In the summer of 1948, a series of inexplicable fires ravaged the Willey farm near Macomb, Illinois, destroying the family's home and barns. Despite the efforts of local authorities and the U.S. Air Force, no logical explanation could be found for the hundreds of mysterious blazes that seemed to start spontaneously. At the center of this baffling case was 13-year-old Wanet McNeil, whose alleged confession to arson left many unconvinced. Was Wanet truly responsible? Could she have been starting the fires with her mind? (The Macomb Firestarter) *** In 1991, 63-year-old Vasile Gorgos left his home in Romania to visit a cattle market and never returned, leaving his family to believe he had met a tragic fate. But 30 years later, Vasile shocked everyone when he mysteriously reappeared, wearing the same clothes as the day he vanished and carrying an unused train ticket from 1991 in his pocket. With no memory of where he'd been for three decades, Vasile's strange case has left people wondering if his disappearance could be tied to supernatural phenomena like portals, alien abduction, or shifts in time and space itself.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 30, 2024In this episode of Weird Darkness, listeners move through alien impostors, the long history of left-handed stigma, a hiker who vanished in the Swiss Alps, a farm besieged by fires no one could explain, and a Romanian cattle trader who came home after thirty years.It opens with the mimics. Ray Nelson's 1963 story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" — the basis for John Carpenter's 1988 film "They Live" — imagined reptilian aliens ruling Earth from behind human faces, and the 2023 book "Mimics: The Others Among Us" argues that scenario may not be fiction. The book collects accounts like that of Brenda Butler, co-author of a book on the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident, who in 1984 met a tall, blue-eyed man calling himself David Daniels and claiming to be from the Pleiades star cluster, then watched his skin turn scaly and reptilian before he shifted back to human. It recounts author Chris Holly's memory of a strikingly similar white-haired, blue-eyed family she later connected to the extraterrestrial "Tall Whites," alongside cases of living ghosts, doppelgangers, and a 1970s poltergeist blamed on a mimic wearing a teenage girl's face.From there the episode traces why left-handedness was treated as sinister for centuries. During the Salem Witch Trials, favoring the left hand could bring an accusation of witchcraft, and as late as the 1970s schools still forced left-handed children to write with their right. The Book of Matthew places the righteous on the right and the cursed on the left, the Zulu scalded children's left hands to stop their use, and communities along the Niger River tied left-handed cooking to witchcraft — while the ancient Celts prized left-handed warriors, Rome read left-side omens as favorable, and the Inca chief Lloque Yupanqui was admired for his left-handedness. The stigma softened by the late 1960s, when William Gruby opened Anything Left-Handed, Ltd. to sell scissors, kitchen tools, and watches built for lefties.Next comes the disappearance of Aidan Roche, a 29-year-old chemical engineer from Middlesbrough who vanished on June 22nd, 2023, while hiking the Eiger Trail in Switzerland's Bernese Oberland. His campervan sat unlocked and abandoned near the trailhead with everything inside intact, and his final messages placed him two hours from Grindelwald in clear weather on a well-traveled path. Swiss police, mountain rescue teams, dogs, and drones searched for five days, and his brothers Connor and Niall raised over £30,000 for helicopter surveillance and screen advertisements in twenty-four locations, yet found nothing until September 24th, 2023, when Aidan's body was discovered near the trail with the cause of death still unreleased.The episode then settles on the Willey farm outside Macomb, Illinois, where hundreds of fires broke out in the summer of 1948. They started on August 7th as small brown spots that appeared on the living room wallpaper, spread, smoldered, and burst into flame — more than 200 of them in one week, igniting curtains, an ironing board, and newspapers sealed inside a closed cupboard, often erupting on walls and ceilings while witnesses watched. The blazes consumed the farmhouse on August 14th and both barns soon after, drew over 1,000 spectators on August 22nd, and even brought in the U.S. Air Force, which floated directed radiation from the Russians as a possible cause. Officials declared the case solved on August 30th by pinning it on 13-year-old Wanet McNeil, who confessed to using kitchen matches after hours of questioning despite never being seen holding any; psychiatrist Dr. Sophie Schroeder found her mentally normal, researcher Vincent Gaddis called it poltergeist activity, and Fire Chief Fred Wilson retired still convinced something unexplainable had happened.The episode closes with Vasile Gorgos, a 63-year-old cattle trader from Bacău, Romania, who left for a market in 1991 and disappeared for three decades. His wife reported him missing, an extensive police search turned up no trace, and his family eventually held a ceremony and accepted that he was dead. On a Sunday afternoon in August 2021, a car pulled up outside his old house and drove off before anyone could read the plate, leaving behind a 93-year-old Vasile in the same clothes he had worn in 1991, carrying an unused train ticket from that year and an old identity card listing an address in another part of Romania.

Long before the age of the Inca and Maya, a remarkable city once flourished on the coast of modern Peru. Founded more than five thousand years ago, the sacred city of Caral is home to monumental pyramids, lavish temples and one of the world's earliest urban societies.Tristan Hughes is joined by Jason Nesbitt to uncover the story of this remarkable Mesoamerican settlement. How did this ancient city emerge in the arid Supe Valley? What do its pyramids and plazas reveal about life 5,000 years ago? And is Caral truly the oldest city in the Americas?See photos of the Sacred City of Caral-Supe hereMOREThe Ancient AmazonListen on AppleListen on Spotify Ancient Americas: The MocheListen on AppleListen on Spotify We're going on *TOUR* to Australia and New Zealand! - grab your tickets here.Presented by Tristan Hughes.

O tabaco é responsável por mais de 8 milhões de mortes por ano no planeta, e 1,3 milhão delas envolve fumantes passivos, segundo dados da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) divulgados em 2023. No Brasil, o tabagismo causa cerca de 160 mil mortes anualmente, segundo o Instituto Nacional de Câncer (Inca). Existem mais de 5 mil substâncias na fumaça do cigarro, e cerca de 50 delas são cancerígenas. Como a nicotina gera dependência, abandonar o cigarro é um verdadeiro desafio individual e de saúde pública. A substância chega ao cérebro em poucos segundos, e sua ausência provoca irritação e ansiedade, e é por isso que é difícil controlar a vontade de continuar fumando. Como buscar ajuda? Colocar a decisão em prática requer disciplina e determinação, e é comum que várias tentativas ocorram antes da interrupção definitiva do consumo, lembra a psiquiatra francesa Mathilde Sennhauser, do Hospital Sainte-Anne, especialista em dependência química. “Cada pessoa terá sua própria motivação. Para algumas delas, será a saúde. Para outras, serão os filhos, as finanças, a pele, os dedos e os dentes que ficam amarelos. As motivações podem ser variadas”, diz a psiquiatra francesa. O processo de desintoxicação é lento e parecido com o de outras drogas, já que a nicotina “ativa os mesmos circuitos cerebrais”, lembra a psiquiatra francesa. “A nicotina faz parte das substâncias mais viciantes, ou seja, daquelas que favorecem o surgimento de uma dependência”, alerta Mathilde Sennhauser. A francesa Marie, de 47 anos, demorou anos para conseguir se livrar definitivamente do cigarro. Ela tentou hipnose e outras técnicas, mas só conseguiu colocar um fim ao vício após buscar acompanhamento psicológico. As sessões ajudaram Marie a entender como ela se relacionava com o cigarro e por que era tão difícil parar. A gestão das emoções relacionadas ao ato de fumar, conta, ajudou-a a atingir seu objetivo. “Na verdade, eu estava realmente farta de fumar, de procurar meus cigarros por toda parte, de ser dependente, de ter que correr para comprar porque não tinha mais nenhum maço”, explica. “Decidi buscar acompanhamento porque sabia que já tinha acumulado vários fracassos nas minhas tentativas de parar de fumar”. A psiquiatra lembra que a síndrome de abstinência, como ocorre com qualquer droga, é um momento decisivo. “Há a abstinência física, que ocorre logo depois de parar de fumar. Podemos ficar mais tensos, mais irritados, até meio tristes. Em seguida, temos as medidas que vão ajudar a não voltar a fumar a longo prazo”. Cigarro eletrônico não deve ser utilizado O cigarro eletrônico, que surgiu como uma alternativa para fumantes que querem abandonar o vício, gera novos riscos, alerta a psiquiatra. E, no caso dos adolescentes, pode ser uma porta de entrada para o cigarro. “A ideia é transformar o cigarro eletrônico em um objeto da moda, com embalagens coloridas e múltiplos sabores. Isso é problemático porque, como contém nicotina, desencadeia essa dependência. Mesmo sem nicotina, estabelece-se um hábito, essa dependência comportamental de ter sempre o gesto de fumar alguma coisa. Isso pode realmente favorecer o surgimento do tabagismo mais tarde”. A psiquiatra francesa lembra algumas dicas que podem ajudar no processo: evitar ambientes onde outras pessoas fumam e outras situações propícias ao consumo, ter em mente o custo do vício, beber bastante água e praticar exercícios físicos são algumas das medidas que podem ajudar a abandonar definitivamente o cigarro.

Guano and the Double-Edged Sword of Industrial Farming Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World The story of the cormorant centers on guano, a nitrogen-rich fertilizer that once made businessmen like William Gibbs the richest commoners in England. While the Inca had used guano for centuries, the 19th-century trade was built on the tragic exploitation of Chinese indentured laborers on arid Peruvian islands. This "natural" fertilizer era eventually gave way to the Haber-Bosch process, which allowed for the mass production of synthetic nitrates. Mossargues that while this "high farming" prevented starvation, it led to a "drug addict" dependency on chemicals that has devastated wildlife. Farmland birds like the partridge and skylark have declined sharply as intensive practices destroy insects and degrade soil. Citing Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Moss highlights that the same agricultural revolution that boosted yields also created an ecological crisis, leaving many modern fields "hopeless for wildlife."

Praia, piscina, parques e dias inteiros ao ar livre. As férias escolares são sinônimo de diversão, mas também representam um período de maior exposição ao sol. O problema é que essa exposição, quando feita sem os devidos cuidados, pode aumentar o risco de câncer de pele. Segundo o Instituto Nacional de Câncer (Inca), o Brasil deve registrar cerca de 263 mil novos casos da doença por ano até 2028. A maioria deles está diretamente ligada à radiação ultravioleta. Como se proteger corretamente? Quais sinais merecem atenção? E por que tanta gente ainda negligencia o uso do protetor solar? Quem responde a essas e outras perguntas é Egon Daxbacher, dermatologista e membro da Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia.

Fresh off my recent trip to Peru, we will dive deep into some of the fascinating mysteries of this enigmatic region. Incan legends whisper of the creator deity Viracocha, who spoke into existence a race of primordial giants. That is, until he decided to obliterate them… Did you know that strategically placed all over the Cusco region are megalithic sundials? Yet what is their true purpose? And why did the Inca believe in stargates, and were one of these so-called “portals” actually discovered in the 90s?JOIN ME ON A TOURSOURCESBook "Inca Mythology" Article by Ashley Cowie

SummaryGarth and Jason have been asking a lot of questions this season on Beard's Book Club. Questions about what it means to lead well, to show up with intention, and to stay human in a world that keeps moving faster than most of us feel ready for.This conversation with Kate Arthur might be the one that reframes all of those questions.We have been thinking a lot lately about what it actually means to be literate. Not just able to read. Not just able to decode text on a page. But truly literate in a world where the machines generating that text are getting smarter by the day.Kate brought some of the most grounded thinking on this that we have encountered in Season 3. Her journey with literacy is personal before it is professional, and that is exactly what makes her perspective so compelling. She is not coming at AI with alarm or with uncritical enthusiasm. She is coming at it the way a thoughtful educator should: with open curiosity and a deep commitment to the humans in the room.What stayed with us from this conversation is her reminder that trust is built slowly and lost in a second. In a world flooded with AI-generated content, that is not just a philosophical observation. It is a design challenge for every school leader trying to build culture right now.If you are wrestling with how to approach AI in your school, or how to help your students and staff develop the discernment they need, this conversation is a good place to start.Chapters00:00 Introduction to literacy and AI06:08 Kate's journey and what literacy really means09:10 The kipu knots: a story about communication across cultures12:11 Foundational skills and the literacy gap15:09 AI literacy and understanding how machines think18:00 Trust, authenticity, and AI-generated content21:04 Mental health and the societal impact of AI24:16 Advice for school leaders navigating AI and literacy27:04 Closing thoughts and where this is all going30:07 Beard's Book Club outroKey TakeawaysLiteracy has always evolved. Kate traces this beautifully, from the kipu knots of the Inca to the printing press to the screen in your pocket. What counts as literacy has never been fixed, and leaders who understand that history are better equipped to navigate what is coming next.Foundational skills are not optional. Before students can think critically about AI-generated content, they need the foundational literacy tools to engage with any content. The gap between students who have those tools and those who do not is widening, and the arrival of AI is making it more urgent, not less.Open curiosity is a leadership stance. Kate frames this not as naive optimism but as a deliberate choice to engage with the unknown rather than retreat from it. That applies to how we lead our staffs, how we talk to students, and how we show up in our own professional development.Mental health is part of this conversation. The pressure that AI is placing on young people's sense of identity, authenticity, and belonging is real. School leaders need to be thinking about AI policy and student well-being in the same breath.Quotes"Trust is built slowly and lost in a second." — Kate Arthur"We need to protect mental health in the age of AI." — Kate Arthur"Open curiosity helps us navigate the unknown." — Kate ArthurConnect with KateWebsite: https://katewebsite.comSubstack: https://substack.com/@kate

By 1916 Dr. George Washington Carver publishes the Tuskegee Institute bulletin "How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption," featuring several recipes for peanut-based cookies and desserts.  Peanut butter cookies are incredibly easy to make: peanut butter, sugar, and eggs...and, yes, the fork marks on peanut butter cookies serve a critical functional purpose in addition to being decorative. Because peanut butter cookie dough is significantly denser, thicker, and higher in fat than many other cookie doughs, it does not spread naturally on its own in the oven.

Aconcagua es una mítica ciudad del imperio inca.

En esta conversación nos cuenta cómo fue el trabajo que realizó, durante el cual tuvo que participar en varios rituales.

stupeň – O poslušnosti Rebrík božského výstupu bol napísaný predovšetkým pre mníchov. No slová svätého Jána Klimaka na začiatku prvej kapitoly naznačujú, že jeho úmyslom je osloviť každého človeka túžiaceho po spáse. Hovorí: „Dvere večného života sú otvorené pre každého. Cieľ nášho života je nasledovať Krista a podobať sa mu v jeho božskej láske.“ Ponúkané reflexie sú prípravou na farské formačné stretnutia.

A detective story told through letters about painters in Renaissance Florence, the Inca colonisation of Europe, or a meta-novel about the assassination of Nazi figure Heydrich: in his work, French author Laurent Binet explores the relationship between fiction and history, between reality and imagination.In his latest novel Perspectives, Binet questions the ways in which art and free expression come under pressure—then, but according to Binet, certainly also in our own time.During this evening, we will talk with Binet about his work. Writer Joost de Vries, who also blends historical fact with fiction in his writing, will join the conversation. What can fiction tell us that reality cannot?Laurent Binet (Paris, 1972) studied at the University of Paris III–Sorbonne Nouvelle, obtained the agrégation in modern literature, and taught in Seine-Saint-Denis and abroad. In 2010 he published his debut novel HHhH, for which he received the Prix Goncourt for best first novel. This was followed by Rien ne se passe comme prévu (2012), The Seventh Function of Language (2015), which won the Prix du roman Fnac and the Prix Interallié, and Civilizations (2019), which received the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.Joost de Vries (1983) is editor of the Volkskrant Sunday supplement. He is also one of the regular contributors to the literary podcast BoekenFM and the author of the acclaimed novels Clausewitz, The Republic (winner of the Golden Owl Award), Old Masters, and the short story collection Calm Down, Tiger. In 2023, De Vries was awarded the Frans Kellendonk Prize for his entire body of work. His latest novel, Higher Powers (2024), was nominated for the Libris Literature Prize.Programme editor: Ianthe MosselmanIn collaboration with: Institut français NLZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Transcript:Es: Carlos caminaba por las antiguas ruinas de Machu Picchu, rodeado por el manto de neblina que se elevaba suavemente desde el suelo.En: Carlos walked through the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, surrounded by the mantle of mist that rose softly from the ground.Es: Sus botas resonaban con un eco sordo sobre las piedras ancestrales mientras el viento fresco del otoño acariciaba su

destiny.Es: Nadie lo había encontrado jamás, pero Carlos estaba decidido a ser el primero.En: No one had ever found it, but Carlos was determined to be the first.Es: Sin embargo, no estaba solo en su búsqueda.En: However, he was not alone in his quest.Es: Elena, su rival en el campo de la arqueología, también había oído los rumores.En: Elena, his rival in the field of archaeology, had also heard the rumors.Es: Ella tenía una reputación de ser astuta y rápida, y Carlos sabía que debía actuar con rapidez y precisión.En: She had a reputation for being cunning and quick, and Carlos knew he had to act with speed and precision.Es: El día anterior, Miguel, un amable guía local, le había ofrecido un nuevo dato: una parte menos explorada de las ruinas que pocos se atrevían a recorrer debido a lo peligroso del terreno.En: The day before, Miguel, a kind local guide, had offered him a new piece of information: a less explored part of the ruins that few dared to venture into due to the dangerous terrain.Es: Carlos agradeció la información con una sonrisa agradecida y partió al amanecer, decidido a encontrar el artefacto antes que Elena.En: Carlos thanked him with a grateful smile and set off at dawn, determined to find the artifact before Elena.Es: Al llegar a la sección desconocida, el corazón de Carlos latía con fuerza.En: Upon reaching the unknown section, Carlos's heart was pounding.Es: Las piedras eran resbaladizas y el camino angosto, pero él avanzó decidido, su linterna cortando la niebla.En: The stones were slippery, and the path was narrow, but he pressed on

muro de musgo, había una pequeña abertura.En: There, hidden behind a mossy wall, was a small opening.Es: Carlos, sintiendo la victoria a su alcance, deslizó su cuerpo por el hueco y cayó en una cámara oculta.En: Carlos, feeling victory within his reach, slid his body through the gap and fell into a hidden chamber.Es: Al encender su linterna, sus ojos se posaron sobre un altar cubierto de símbolos incas, y en el centro, el artefacto.En: When he turned on his flashlight, his eyes landed on an altar covered with Inca symbols, and in the center, the artifact.Es: Era un disco de oro tallado con intrincados patrones.En: It was a gold disc carved with intricate patterns.Es: "¡Lo encontré!"En: "I found it!"Es: murmuró para sí, acercándose.En: he murmured to himself, approaching.Es: Justo cuando

con Elena.En: He turned quickly, finding himself face to face with Elena.Es: Ella había llegado por otro camino, sus ojos brillando con la misma mezcla de asombro y determinación.En: She had arrived by another path, her eyes shining with the same mix of amazement and determination.Es: La tensión en el aire era palpable, un momento eterno donde el tiempo parecía detenerse.En: The tension in the air was palpable, a timeless moment where time seemed to stand still.Es: "Carlos, no tiene que ser una competencia," dijo Elena finalmente, su voz suave pero firme.En: "Carlos, this doesn't have to be a competition," Elena finally said, her voice soft but firm.Es: "Imagina lo que podríamos descubrir si trabajamos juntos."En: "Imagine what we could discover if we worked together."Es: Carlos bajó la mirada al disco, reflexionando.En: Carlos lowered his gaze to the disc, reflecting.Es: Siempre había querido reconocimiento, pero en ese instante se dio cuenta de que el verdadero valor estaba en desentrañar los misterios del pasado, no solo en los créditos personales.En: He had always wanted recognition, but at that moment he realized that the true value lay in unraveling the mysteries of the past, not just in personal credits.Es: Asintió lentamente, extendiendo su mano hacia Elena.En: He nodded slowly, extending his hand toward Elena.Es: Elena sonrió y aceptó el gesto.En: Elena smiled and accepted the gesture.Es: Juntos, salieron de la cámara, el artefacto entre ellos, listos para compartir su hallazgo con el mundo.En: Together, they left the chamber, the artifact between them, ready to share their discovery with the world.Es: Aquella noche, desde una de las terrazas, contemplaron el cielo estrellado sabiéndose parte de algo mucho más grande que ellos mismos.En: That night, from one of the terraces, they gazed at the starry sky, knowing they were part of something much bigger than themselves.Es: Al final, Carlos entendió que el conocimiento y la aventura eran recompensas suficientes, y que a veces, el verdadero descubrimiento residía en aprender a compartir el camino.En: In the end, Carlos understood that knowledge and adventure were rewards enough, and that sometimes, the true discovery lay in learning to share the journey.

In this episode, host Jack Eidt delves into the groundbreaking archaeological discoveries at the Huaca Montegrande site in the Peruvian Amazon with guest Karen Gordon, an associate at ASICAMPE, the nonprofit Association for Scientific Research of the Peruvian Amazon [https://abundantearthfoundation.org/ancientcacao/]. They explore the ancient Marañon culture, their sophisticated agroforestry practices, and the origins of cacao, the plant responsible for the world's chocolate. Traces of cacao have been found in 6,000-year-old ceremonial pottery vessels from what is now recognized as the oldest monumental temple site in Peru, predating the pyramids of Egypt or Mesopotamia. Tune in to learn how these findings are rewriting the history of organized human settlement and spirituality in the ancient Amazon. Nominated as one of the Top 10 Archaeological Discoveries in the World, Montegrande is currently unearthing the story of the ancient Amazonian Marañon Culture and their sophisticated agroforestry practices, social structure, and cosmovision – 3,000 years before the more well-studied Inca and Nazca cultures. These findings completely rewrite the history of organized human settlement and spirituality in the ancient Amazon. Groundbreaking evidence from Montegrande points to the Marañon Culture as being the earliest human stewards of cacao in the world, tending its domestication, cultivation, veneration and trade.

www.aufonddelaclasse.com Bienvenue dans cette série consacrée aux Lettres d'une Péruvienne de Françoise de Graffigny, œuvre au programme du bac de français dans le cadre de la littérature d'idées. Dans ce premier épisode, nous découvrons d'abord l'autrice : Françoise de Graffigny, écrivaine lorraine du XVIIIe siècle, longtemps oubliée malgré l'immense succès de son roman lors de sa parution en 1747.Le livre raconte l'histoire de Zilia, jeune Inca arrachée au Pérou le jour de ses noces et emmenée en France. À travers les lettres qu'elle écrit à son fiancé Aza, elle apprend peu à peu le français, découvre la société de Louis XV et porte sur elle un regard étranger, étonné puis de plus en plus critique. Ce roman épistolaire ne raconte donc pas seulement une histoire d'amour : il devient une réflexion sur le langage, la connaissance, la société, la religion et la condition des femmes.Le parcours associé, « Un nouvel univers s'est offert à mes yeux », montre justement que le véritable voyage de Zilia est intellectuel. Plus elle comprend la langue française, plus elle comprend aussi les contradictions et les hypocrisies du monde qui l'entoure.Dans les prochains épisodes, nous suivrons cette transformation de Zilia : du cri amoureux des premières lettres jusqu'au choix final de la liberté et du « plaisir d'être ».Hébergé par Ausha.

Deze aflevering van Nerd Culture is ook te zien op YouTube: https://youtu.be/H5XUa_hrbgk In deze aflevering van Nerd Culture schuiven Koos en Huey weer aan voor een bomvolle show vol films, series, games en popcultuur. We bespreken de toekomst van videogameverfilmingen met opvallende uitspraken van de Devil May Cry-showrunner, duiken in de nieuwe updates rondom Star Wars, Fallout en Ghostbusters, en praten uitgebreid over Peter Jacksons langverwachte terugkeer naar de wereld van Kuifje. Ook komen The Batman II, Ghost in the Shell, Fast & Furious-spin-offs en Netflix’ nieuwe abonnement met reclame voorbij. Daarnaast bespreken we natuurlijk wat we gekeken, gelezen en gespeeld hebben, waaronder The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, The Punisher: One Last Kill en The Adventures of Tintin. Peter Jackson kondigt sequel aan voor Kuifje Na vijftien jaar stilte lijkt er eindelijk weer beweging te zitten in de wereld van Kuifje. Peter Jackson heeft tijdens het filmfestival van Cannes bevestigd dat hij actief werkt aan een vervolg op The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn uit 2011. Volgens Jackson schrijft hij momenteel samen met Fran Walsh aan het script, zelfs vanuit zijn hotelkamer in Cannes. De afspraak met Steven Spielberg was altijd dat Spielberg de eerste film zou regisseren en Jackson de tweede, maar dat project bleef jarenlang hangen in development limbo. Mogelijk wordt de sequel gebaseerd op Prisoners of the Sun, het iconische Inca-verhaal uit de Kuifje-strips, al is dat nog niet bevestigd. Mocht de film daadwerkelijk doorgaan, dan wordt dit Jacksons eerste speelfilm sinds The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies uit 2015. Goedkoper Netflix abonnement in Nederland Netflix gaat vanaf volgend jaar ook in Nederland een goedkoper abonnement met reclame aanbieden. Daarmee volgt de streamingdienst dezelfde strategie als concurrenten als Disney+, HBO Max en Videoland, die inmiddels allemaal goedkopere advertentie-abonnementen hebben geïntroduceerd. In landen als Duitsland en Frankrijk bestaat deze optie al langer, waar kijkers advertenties te zien krijgen voor en tijdens films en series. Opvallend, want jarenlang was juist het volledig reclamevrije model één van Netflix’ grootste verkooppunten. De exacte Nederlandse prijs is nog niet bekend, maar in Duitsland kost het reclame-abonnement momenteel €4,99 tegenover €13,99 voor reclamevrij kijken. De komst van advertenties laat goed zien hoe hard de streamingoorlog veranderd is: groei en winstgevendheid lijken inmiddels belangrijker geworden dan de oorspronkelijke premium ervaring.Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Nerd Culture óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

In this week's episode, we cover three archaeology news stories. First up, a Nature-backed report on unusually old woodworking from Kalambo Falls, where waterlogged conditions preserved a wedge, digging stick, and notched logs dated by luminescence to about 476,000 years ago, suggesting advanced planning and challenging simple “Stone Age” assumptions. We then discuss a Pompeii discovery of two skeletons outside the city walls near Porta Stabia, including a man apparently shielding his head with a terracotta bowl and carrying an oil lamp, and we debate the benefits and risks of an AI-generated scene reconstruction. Finally, we examine Peru's Monte Sierpe “Band of Holes,” over 5,200 aligned pits mapped by drones and analyzed via microbotanical remains, with a study proposing early market use and later Inca-style accounting patterns resembling quipu, while we question how and why such a vast system was built and used. Links Segment 1 World's oldest wooden structure was built by an unknown species, nearly 200,000 years before modern humans evolved (earth.com) Hominins built with wood 476,000 years ago (Nature) Segment 2 This Man Fled Pompeii as Mount Vesuvius Erupted. Archaeologists Found Him 2,000 Years Later, Holding a Bowl to Protect His Head and a Lamp to Light His Way Segment 3 Study suggests these 5,200 holes dug into a mountain were some form of ancient accounting (earth.com) Indigenous accounting and exchange at Monte Sierpe (‘Band of Holes') in the Pisco Valley, Peru (Cambridge University Press) Contact Chris Webster chris@archaeologypodcastnetwork.com Rachel Roden rachel@unraveleddesigns.com RachelUnraveled (Instagram) ArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN Discord: https://discord.com/invite/CWBhb2T2ed APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet APN Shop Affiliates Motion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We then discuss a Pompeii discovery of two skeletons outside the city walls near Porta Stabia, including a man apparently shielding his head with a terracotta bowl and carrying an oil lamp, and we debate the benefits and risks of an AI-generated scene reconstruction. Finally, we examine Peru's Monte Sierpe “Band of Holes,” over 5,200 aligned pits mapped by drones and analyzed via microbotanical remains, with a study proposing early market use and later Inca-style accounting patterns resembling quipu, while we question how and why such a vast system was built and used.

One night out. Four lives destroyed. And the men just filmed it. This week the aunties are getting into the fight outside Inca in the West End that left one woman brain dead and a bystander with life altering injuries and we're saying what the internet isn't. We also get into the 62 million men visiting a site teaching them how to drug their wives, why young women are being sold on "pay-pigs" as a career, and why a three hour a weekend mum and a "men who spend time with their kids go soft" dad are both wrong. ⚡What actually happened outside Inca beyond what went viral ⚡ Why we're too old to be fighting in West End clubs at 30+ ⚡ Pay pigs, OnlyFans & the selling of Black women's dignity ⚡ Kemi Badenoch, Sharon Osborne & the white-privilege gaslight ⚡ Akon vs Emma Grede: three hours with four kids & "men go soft" ⚡ Why showing up for your kids matters - A real story

April has felt… cursed. And honestly, we can't ignore it anymore. From everything going wrong to what happened on the plane (yes… including a broken bra strap at the worst possible moment), we started wondering if this month is just chaotic—or if something bigger is going on. In this episode, we talk through the strange run of events this April, the upcoming Saturn–Mars conjunction, and whether astrology might actually explain the patterns we're seeing. We also share a few other moments that made us question what's happening… before diving into our Peru trip and how the experience felt in Cusco and Machu Picchu.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, each Friday at 1pmEST/10am PST on YouTube and Instagram Live!Follow The Alchemist's Inkwell on:● YouTube● Instagram● TiktokFollow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠Keywords: Peru, Machu Picchu, ancient temples, spiritual practices, Inca, Quechua, sacred sites, ayahuasca, sacred energy, travel magic

Chi erano gli Inca e come riuscirono a costruire uno degli imperi più grandi della storia del Sud America? In questo video di “Antichi Popoli” con Stefano Gandelli, raccontiamo la storia dell'Impero Inca, la più vasta civiltà precolombiana delle Americhe, che tra il XV e il XVI secolo si estendeva lungo tutta la catena delle Ande. Il loro territorio comprendeva gran parte degli attuali Perù, Ecuador, Bolivia e vaste aree di Cile, Argentina e Colombia. Ma come è nato il popolo Inca? Per scoprirlo dobbiamo tornare indietro nel tempo, fino alle prime comunità che abitavano le Ande migliaia di anni fa. Da quelle società basate su caccia e raccolta si sviluppò lentamente una civiltà complessa, capace di organizzare un potente impero con capitale Cusco. Vedremo come funzionavano agricoltura e allevamento, dalla costruzione di città come Machu Pichu all'arrivo degli spagnoli guidati da Francesco Pizarro che nel XVI secolo portarono alla fine dell'impero.

The Inca Empire was the largest and most sophisticated state ever created in the pre-Columbian Americas, stretching along the Andes from present-day southern Colombia to central Chile and Argentina by the early 16th century.  What makes it historically significant is that the Inca managed to build and administer this enormous realm without many technologies that Eurasian civilizations relied on, such as iron tools, wheels, draft animals, or a conventional writing system. As great as its accomplishments were, its fall at the hands of the Spanish was just as dramatic and sudden. Learn more about the Incan Empire on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What if gold isn't just a commodity… but a spiritual technology? In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Zach Zublena, healing artist, painter, transformational breathwork facilitator, and spiritual photographer, whose work centers on what he calls the sacred frequency of gold: a radiant, protective, awakening field that helps people remember their divine essence.Zach shares the surprising journey that began as an artistic experiment in 2016, painting bodies in gold, until a near-death experience reoriented his entire path and revealed gold as a transmission: not about status or wealth, but sovereignty, remembrance, and ascension. Together, we explore why ancient civilizations revered gold as “the flesh of the gods,” how cultures from Egypt and Mesopotamia to the Inca and Vedic tradition approached gold as sacred, and why modern extraction and hoarding distort its original purpose.We also dive into- The lived, practical side of working with gold as a frequency- Gold meditations, energetic shielding, heart coherence, sound/resonance- The way art can bypass the mind and speak directly to the soul.- How his transformational breathwork sessions guide people into theta states where gold becomes an embodied experienceIf you've ever felt that gold “does something” to your field, or you're curious about beauty as a portal, spiritual sovereignty, and the alchemy of matter and consciousness, this conversation will expand your framework.Guest: Zach ZublenaWebsite: ZZGallery.comBook: The Sacred Frequency of Gold (available on Amazon)Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness. For more from me: follow my writing on Substack (substack.com/@therealyasmeent), find me on Instagram @TheRealYasmeenT, or visit InnerKnowingSchool.com.You can also check out my latest book A Glitch In the Matrix, here.
