Episode 100 In Part 2 of Domestic Detonation, we move deeper into the investigation and unravel how a domestic violence case escalated into a coordinated bombing plot that nearly claimed multiple lives. As investigators began connecting the devices, forensic evidence and witness testimony painted a chilling picture of planning, coercion, and control — revealing just how far one person was willing to go to keep a partner from leaving. We explore the forensic evidence that helped build the case, including tool mark comparisons, and discuss the strengths and limitations of these techniques in the broader context of modern forensic science. We also walk through the critical moments that prevented additional bombs from being delivered, highlighting how coordination between investigators and rapid communication helped stop further attacks before they could occur. This case is a stark reminder of how domestic violence can escalate and how manipulation and coercive control can lead to extreme violence. Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M.

Textual Analysis and Literature Review In Waiting: ©2026 .mp3ABSTRACTIn Waiting: Varies from Strategic, Professional Patience to Creative, Contemplative, or Spiritual Discipline Copyright2026 (ISBN: 978-976-97826-7-9), Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D. explores the multifaceted concept of waiting, framing it as an active practice across various domains, including professional, creative, and spiritual realms. Gittens argues that waiting should not be viewed merely as a passive experience but rather as an intentional process involving reflection, preparation, and observation. This paper delves into the historical, cultural, and biblical connotations of waiting, analyzing its evolving linguistic meaning and exploring its theological implications through key biblical figures like Abraham, Joseph, and Moses. Dr.Gittens also draws on psychological insights, particularly the concept of "productive waiting," to underscore its role in fostering personal and professional growth. The analysis further explores how waiting can function as a strategic tool in decision-making and creativity, offering opportunities for mindfulness, spiritual discipline, and resilience. Ultimately, the work challenges the conventional perception of waiting and proposes that it can serve as a dynamic and transformative practice that cultivates virtues such as patience, endurance, and trust in both human and divine timing. By embracing waiting as an active process, individuals can cultivate deeper personal insight, professional success, and spiritual maturity. It should be noted that the genesis of this intellectual conversation waiting, is grounded in professional patience, spiritual discipline, creative practice, biblical perspectives, psychological insights, personal growthDr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.ReferencesAnderson, R.

Liz und ich sprechen heute über die Filmtrilogie Sissi und versuchen zu ergründen, warum eine Frau in einem 50er-Jahre-Film nicht schwanger sein durfte, warum die Liebe auf den ersten Blick unnötig romantisiert wird und warum die echte Sissi gar nicht so cute wie Romy Schneider war. Seid dabei, wie ich endlich verstehe, warum Sissi nicht nur an Weihnachten so ein riesen Hype (zu Recht!) ist. Viel Spaß beim Hören der Folge!CN: Ab 64:23 sprechen wir über die echte Sissi und es geht kurz um Essstörungen, Suizid und Süchte - allerdings nur namentlich genannt und nicht weiter ausgeführt.Buchempfehlung: The five von Hallie Rubenhold, ISBN 978-3-312-01186-5Wenn ihr könnt, würde ich mich über euer Abo bei Steady freuen: https://steadyhq.com/de/die-rosarote-brille-der-feministische-filmpodcast/about (schon ab 3€ im Monat möglich) Hosted on Acast.

Tudo isso lhes ocorre por ignorância do bem e do mal. Mas eu, que observei que a natureza do bem é o belo, e que a do mal é o vergonhoso, e que a natureza do próprio pecador, que é meu parente, porque participa, não do mesmo sangue ou da mesma semente, mas das inteligência e de uma porção da divindade, não posso receber dano de nenhum deles, pois nenhum me cobrirá de vergonha; nem posso me aborrecer com meu parente nem odiá-lo. Pois, nascemos para colaborar, como os pés, as mãos, as pálpebras, os dentes, superiores e inferiores. Agir, pois, como adversários uns para com os outros é contrário à natureza. E é agir como adversário o fato de manifestar indignação e repulsa. Isso é tudo o que sou: um pouco de carne, um breve fôlego vital e o guia interior. Deixe os livros! Não te distraias mais; não está permitido a ti. Mas que, na idéia de que já és um moribundo, despreza a carne: sangue e pó, ossos, fino tecido de nervos, de pequenas veias e artérias. Olha também em que consiste o fôlego vital: vento, e nem sempre o mesmo, pois em todo momento se expira e de novo se aspira. Em terceiro lugar, pois, te resta o guia interior. Reflete assim: és velho; não o consintas por mais tempo que seja escravo, nem que siga ainda arrastando-se como marionete por instintos egoístas, nem que maldigas o destino presente ou tenhas receio do futuro. Para qualquer parte da natureza, é bom aquilo que colabora com a natureza do conjunto e o que é capaz de preservá-la. E conservam o mundo tanto as transformações dos elementos simples como as dos compostos. Sejam suficientes para ti essas reflexões, se são princípios básicos. Afasta tua sede de livros, para não morrer amargurado, mas verdadeiramente resignado e grato de coração aos deuses. Não consumas a parte da vida que te resta fazendo conjecturas sobre outras pessoas, a não ser que teu objetivo aponte para o bem comum; porque certamente te privas de outra tarefa. Ao querer saber, ao imaginar o que faz fulano e por que, e o que pensa e o que trama e tantas coisas semelhantes que provocam teu raciocínio, tu te afastas da observação do teu guia interior. Convém, consequentemente, que, no encadear das tuas ideias, evites admitir o que é fruto do azar e supérfluo, mas muito mais o inútil e pernicioso. Deves também acostumar-te a ter unicamente aquelas ideias sobre as quais, se te perguntassem de súbito “em que pensas agora?”, com franqueza pudesses responder no mesmo instante “nisso e naquilo”, de maneira que no mesmo instante se manifestasse que tudo em ti é simples, benévolo e próprio de um ser isento de toda cobiça, inveja, receio ou qualquer outra paixão, da qual pudesses envergonhar-te ao reconhecer que a possui em teu pensamento. Porque o homem com essas características, que já não demora em situar-se entre os melhores, converte-se em sacerdote e servo dos deuses, posto ao serviço também da divindade que habita seu interior; tudo que o imuniza contra os prazeres, o faz invulnerável a toda dor, intocável a todo excesso, insensível a toda maldade, atleta da mais excelsa luta, luta que se entrava para não ser abatido por nenhuma paixão, impregnado a fundo de justiça, apegado, com toda a sua alma, aos acontecimentos e a tudo o que lhe tenha acontecido. E, raramente, a não ser por uma grande necessidade e tendo em vista o bem comum, cogita o que a outra pessoa diz, faz ou pensa. Colocará unicamente em prática aquelas coisas que lhe correspondem, e pensa sem cessar no que lhe pertence, o que foi alinhado ao conjunto. Enquanto, por um lado, cumpre o seu dever, por outro, está convencido de que é bom. Porque o destino designado a cada um está envolvido no conjunto e ao mesmo tempo o envolve. Tem também presente que todos os seres racionais têm parentesco e que preocupar-se com todos os homens está de acordo com a natureza humana Mas não deves considerar a opinião de todos, mas somente a opinião daqueles que vivem conforme a natureza. E, em relação aos que não vivem assim, prossegue recordando até o fim como são em casa e fora dela, pela noite e durante o dia, e com que classe de gente convivem. Consequentemente, não considera o elogio de tais homens que nem consigo mesmos estão satisfeitos.Na convicção de que pode sair da vida a qualquer momento, faça, fale e pense todas e cada uma das coisas em consonância com essa ideia. Pois distanciar-se dos homens, se existem deuses, em absoluto é temível, porque estes não poderiam atirar-te ao mar. Mas, se em verdade não existem, ou não lhes importam os assuntos humanos, para que viver em um mundo vazio de deuses ou vazio de providência? Mas sim, existem, e lhes importam as coisas humanas, e criaram todos os meios a seu alcance para que o homem não sucumba aos verdadeiros males. E se restar algum mal, também haveriam previsto, a fim de que contasse o homem com todos os meios para evitar cair nele. Mas o que não torna pior um homem, como isso poderia fazer pior a sua vida? Nem por ignorância nem conscientemente, mas por ser incapaz de prevenir ou corrigir esses defeitos, a natureza do conjunto o teria consentido. E, tampouco, por incapacidade ou inabilidade teria cometido um erro de tais dimensões como acontece aos bons e aos maus indistintamente, bens e males em partes iguais. Entretanto, morte e vida, glória e infâmia, dor e prazer, riqueza e penúria, tudo isso acontecem indistintamente ao homem bom e ao mal, pois não é nem belo nem feio, porque, efetivamente, não são bons nem maus.*APOIE O NARUHODO!O Altay e eu temos duas mensagens pra você.A primeira é: muito, muito obrigado pela sua audiência.

The Paradox Of Prophetic Rejection © 2026 ISBN 978-976-97826-5-5ABSTRACTOver the years I have discovered that my cognitive Influences on Writing and Communication as a writer, cultural theorist, podcaster, media arts specialist, and doctor of divinity was shaped by several key factors. These include Cognitive Process Theory, which highlights the mental processes behind writing, such as stylistic imitation and curiosity about text structure (Smith, 2003). Social Cognitive Theory emphasizes the role of social contexts in writing development, suggesting that cultural norms and values influence how individuals interpret and create written works (Bandura, 1986). Additionally, Cultural Contexts play a significant role in shaping social cognition, affecting how individuals approach social interactions and relationships based on the values of their respective cultures (Gergen, 2009). Lastly, Analytic vs. Holistic Thinking suggests that cognitive styles vary across cultures, with analytic thinking often associated with Western cultures and holistic thinking more common in collectivist societies (Nisbett, 2003). Together, these factors form the cognitive frameworks that influence writing, theorizing, and communication in these professional fields.Dr.William Anderson Gittens, D.D.ReferencesAesop. (n.d.).

Can Questions Have Effects On Culture, Society, Identity and Literature? © 2026.mp3 ISBN978-976-97826-4-8Can Questions Have Effects On Culture, Society, Identity and Literature? © 2026 Textual Analysis and Literature Review: Podcast Episode 260 ISBN978-976-97826-4-8AbstractIn this conversation Can Questions Have Effects On Culture, Society, Identity and Literature? © 2026 Textual Analysis and Literature Review: Podcast Episode 260 (Gittens, 2026), examines the transformative role of questioning across diverse disciplines, including literature, cultural theory, media arts, and theology. Through a blend of personal reflection and scholarly inquiry, I, Dr. William Anderson Gittens,D.D. argues that questioning is not merely an intellectual exercise but a crucial element of human existence, driving personal growth, societal change, and deeper understanding. This conversation provides a textual analysis of yours truly Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.s' podcast, exploring his reflections on how questions illuminate the complexities of literature, challenge cultural norms, intersect with digital media, and provoke theological self-awareness. Additionally, the literature review situates my' perspectives within broader academic discussions on questioning, highlighting key theories from philosophers, cultural theorists, and media scholars. Drawing upon works from Plato (1992), Gramsci (1971), Iser (1978), McLuhan (1964), and others, this analysis emphasizes how the act of questioning serves as a catalyst for critical thought, social critique, and spiritual development. Ultimately, the paper underscores Gittens' assertion that embracing questions enriches both intellectual pursuits and personal journeys, fostering greater empathy and insight in navigating an increasingly complex world.Overall,the theoretical constructs of questioning, intellectual development, literature, cultural theory, media arts, theology, introspection, and podcasting serve as the foundation for this abstract.Gittens (2026)Dr.William Anderson Gittens, D.D.References1 Kings 3:5, New International Version.

The inevitable never happens. It is the unexpected always. -- J.M. Keynes 1938 Almost everyone plays with predicting the future. Persons who speak with presumed authority and say that some outlandish thing is inevitable often get a lot of media attention. The more media attention, the more people come to think that the outlandish thing really is inevitable. In warfare, I have lived through the inevitability of guerilla warfare as the model for all future warfare; the inevitable demise armored warfare, the transformation of maneuver warfare; counter-insurgency warfare as the inevitable future war form; and more recently, that drones will so dominate the battlefield, that all previous forms of warfighting will be obsolete. In my opinion, inevitability has a rather bad track record. From time to time in these podcasts, I will revisit some of these predictions and see which of these were inevitable and which were overcome by reality.

We're joined by the four authors of *Digital Theory* — M. Beatrice Fazi, Alexander R. Galloway, Matthew Handelman, and Leif Weatherby — for a roundtable on their new collaborative work.Digital Theory (University of Minnesota Press, 2025) makes a deceptively simple but far-reaching claim: the digital is theoretical. Not in the sense that we theorize about it, but that digitality itself — mediation through discrete units — is a condition for thinking as such.Just to get it out of the way, listeners to the pod know that these four thinkers need no introduction. This is literally the cohort that we've held in our minds over the past few years (there's probably nobody whose shaped our brains as formatively on this subject than Alexander Galloway, whose writing was the subject of Marek's en route masters thesis and the first PDF sent between Marek and Roberto). The conversation opens up a series of productive disagreements within the group. What's the relationship between the digital and computation? For Fazi, the digital is discretization — "the cut" — while computation is systematization, building, constructing. This distinction allows the book to think the digital before and beyond the computer, back to proto-writing tokens and forward to whatever comes next. A major target here is what Galloway calls "analog philosophy," the dominant strain of theory over the last few decades that privileges affect, sensation, intensity, immanence. Deleuze is named directly as the great philosopher of the analog: obsessed with the fold, hostile to structuralism, drawn to "a language of breaths and screams." The authors aren't throwing Deleuze overboard entirely (to them the "Postscript on the Societies of Control" still hits) but they're skeptical that his ontology can account for digital technology as a form of thought.

Abstract: As a Doctor of Divinity, I applied a metaphoric lens to analyze the theoretical concept of the Crossroads, uncovering its symbolic significance in both spiritual and moral decision-making. Through this analytical lens, I discovered that the Bible often employs the metaphor of a crossroads to represent pivotal moments of choice in one's spiritual journey. Notable scriptural references, such as Proverbs 3:5–6, which advocates for divine wisdom in decision-making, Jeremiah 6:16–19, which calls for a return to ancient paths, and Matthew 7:13–14, which contrasts the narrow gate leading to life with the wide gate leading to destruction, emphasize the importance of making wise choices and seeking spiritual guidance during critical life transitions (New International Version, 1984). This conversation explores the intersection of tradition and modernity in the context of an island's socio-cultural evolution, particularly focusing on the Caribbean island of Barbados over the last six decades. Dr. William Anderson Gittens' seminal work, An Island Balancing Heritage and Modernity On The World Stage.©2026 (1966–2026) ISBN 978-976-97826-2-4, January 31, 2026, Pages 89, serves as the foundational text for examining how islands, often metaphorically viewed as "at the crossroads," negotiate the tension between cultural preservation and the forces of globalization. Drawing on a mixed-methods systematic review (MMSR), this analysis highlights how historical events, including independence movements and the rise of tourism, have shaped societal values. It also assesses how local traditions adapt to modern influences and their relevance on the global stage. The essay offers key insights into the ways in which islands balance the preservation of their cultural identity with the demands of modernization.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.References2026-02-03 12:53:08An Island Balancing Heritage and Modernity On The World Stage.©2026 (1966–2026) ISBN 978-976-97826-2-4Barbados Today.

Episode 99 Some crimes are impulsive. This one wasn't. In December 1993, six bombs were delivered across upstate New York in less than ninety minutes. Five people were killed. One survived by pure chance. Another device failed to detonate. And one bomb was unknowingly driven around the region in the back of a courier van before police could stop it. The victims weren't politicians. They weren't business rivals. They weren't part of an organized crime war. They were a family. In this episode, we begin breaking down Domestic Detonation—a coordinated bombing campaign driven not by ideology or profit, but by control. According to investigators, the targets shared one connection: they were the support system of a woman trying to leave a volatile relationship. Part 1 focuses on the human story and the investigation: The victims and the nearly identical package bombs How investigators realized these attacks were connected Why one woman was spared while the rest of her family was targeted The early suspects—and why nothing was as simple as it first appeared The unsettling role of loyalty, manipulation, and obsession in escalating violence We'll also introduce the two men at the center of the case—and the red flags investigators couldn't ignore. In Part 2, we'll shift into the forensic evidence: How investigators linked the bombs What the explosive components revealed The confession—and the questions surrounding it How forensic reconstruction unraveled the plot piece by piece Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M.

An Island Balancing Heritage & Modernity On The World Stage ©2026 ISBN978-976-97826-2-4.mp3AbstractThe concept of self-examination plays a pivotal role in biblical teachings, with key verses such as 2 Corinthians 13:5 urging believers to assess their faith, and Psalm 139:23-24 inviting a divine scrutiny of one's innermost thoughts and intentions. In addition to the aforesaid theological insights, An Island Balancing Heritage and Modernity On The World Stage.©2026 (1966–2026) ISBN 978-976-97826-2-4 provides a comprehensive assessment of Barbados' socio-economic and cultural evolution from its independence in 1966 through its transition to a republic in 2021 and into the anticipated developments of 2026. This interpretative framework analyzes how cultural identity, political dynamics, economic change, demographic patterns, globalization, and migration contribute to shaping the nation's trajectory. The study encompasses various aspects, including tourism, governance challenges, and cultural preservation, highlighting the interconnected forces that influence Barbados as a small island developing state facing rapid global transformations. Ultimately, this work offers a nuanced understanding of how culture, performance, and livability are interwoven within the context of Barbados' ongoing narrative amidst changes on the global stage.Dr.William Anderson Gittens, D.D.ReferencesBajan Creole.

You'll understand why your email list matters more than social media followers, how to generate authentic Amazon reviews without violating terms of service, and the psychology behind book covers that convert browsers into buyers. This episode covers essential publishing infrastructure including Kindle Direct Publishing, IngramSpark for wide distribution, and audiobook production economics. Perfect for entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants who recognize that business books open doors to speaking engagements, premium client acquisition, and industry authority. Rodney addresses beta reader strategies, advance review coordination, forward selection for credibility, and modern book launch strategies that work in the digital age.
„Usui? Hab ich schon mal irgendwo gehört.“, hörte ich von einem angehenden Reiki 2 Schüler. „Rajki… Kommt das nicht aus Japan???“ … Innerlich schlug ich manches Mal die Hände überm Kopf zusammen. Die Unsicherheit mancher Schüler veranlasste mich zu dieser Folge. Bist du schon mit der Reiki-Legende vertraut? Hattest du sie schon mal im Reiki 1 Unterricht gehört? Jaa… ? Nein? Doch! Wieder vergessen? Wie war das nochmal mit Meister Usui und den nachfolgenden Reiki Meistern? Und wie ist Reiki überhaupt in die westliche Welt gekommen? Fragen über Fragen… Über die Jahre meiner Arbeit als Reiki-Lehrerin ist mir immer wieder aufgefallen, dass viele Reiki-Lehrer die Reiki-Legende entweder nicht weiter gaben, sie in einer kurzen Zusammenfassung erzählten, oder den Schülern die Aufgabe hinterließen, sich selbst zu informieren, wenn es sie interessierte. Und, wer macht das denn tatsächlich? Es wurde viel geforscht, was das Leben der „alten“ Reiki Meister von damals angeht. Es gibt dazu die Reiki Magazin Sonderausgaben, wo du es nachlesen kannst, Bücher und doch… darf es etwas Magie sein, finde ich. ;-)Lehne dich zurück für die heutige Lesestunde und erfahre, ✨ wer Meister Usui war und was ihn angetrieben hat, in Sachen Heilung zu forschen ✨ wie das Erleuchtungserlebnis Meister Usuis uns den Zugang zur praktischen Reiki-Arbeit ermöglichte ✨ warum Reiki, ohne die Arbeit am eigenen Mindset wenig Aussicht auf Erfolg hat ✨ was es mit den 21 Tagen auf sich hat ✨ mehr über das Leben der nachfolgenden Reiki Meister: Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, Fr. Hawayo Takata und Phyllis Lei Furumoto ✨ wie Reiki in die westliche Welt kam An dieser Stelle möchte ich betonen, dass es sich hierbei um eine Legende handelt und dies keine geschichtliche Rekonstruktion darstellt. Die Geschehnisse von damals reichen über 100 Jahre zurück und es gibt wenig Aufzeichnungen über Meister Usui. Die Legende des Usui-Systems des Reiki, so wie sie hier vorgelesen wurde, findest du im Buch: „Reiki - Heile dich selbst“ von Brigitte Müller & Horst H. Günther, erschienen im
No podcast do PublishNews desta semana discutimos a importância dos clubes de leitura como uma ferramenta de transformação social e de remição de pena. O mecanismo permite que, para cada livro lido e comprovado por meio de um relatório, o custodiado reduza quatro dias de sua sentença, com um limite de até 12 obras (ou 48 dias remidos) por ano.Rafaella Machado (Editora Executiva da Galera Record e Verus Editora) e Janine Durand (Educadora, defensora de direitos e do diálogo; Clubes de Leitura, Remição em Rede e outros Afetos) compartilham suas experiências em projetos que promovem a leitura em penitenciárias e instituições para adolescentes. Elas destacam como a literatura pode impactar a vida dos participantes, fomentar a criatividade e oferecer novas perspectivas.

Theological Reflections The "Alpha and Omega," © 2026 ISBN 978-976-97826-0-0 PREFACEI, Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D., a qualified theologian with training, have decided to focus on the coherent theological arc that extends from creation to new creation in my study of the biblical story, particularly by looking at Genesis 1 and Revelation 1. My investigation is based on the knowledge that these two chapters are intricately linked in their depiction of God's work in the world, despite being separated by a great deal of time. I pay special attention to God as the "Alpha and Omega," a title that emphasizes the continuity and uninterrupted character of God's divine design from the start of creation to His final restoration (Revelation 22:13). Understanding how the Bible's narrative is a cohesive account of creation, fall, and salvation rather than just a collection of disparate events depends on this thematic thread.https://www.christourlife.online/salvation-historyUsing my research lens, I have highlighted the deep theological unity across the biblical text by capturing, framing, and revealing a number of striking differences between the accounts in Genesis and Revelation. For example, Revelation 1 describes a new creation, free of sin, confusion, and darkness, where the fullness of God's glory is shown, whereas Genesis 1 describes the creation of the world from a state of chaos, darkness, and nothingness (Genesis 1:1-5; Revelation 21:1-4). Additionally, in Genesis, the illumination of the world is initially provided by the sun and moon, whereas in Revelation, the divine presence of God Himself becomes the source of eternal light (Genesis 1:14-19; Revelation 21:23-24). Another notable parallel is the reappearance of the Tree of Life in Revelation, signalling the restoration of eternal access to God's presence, a concept first introduced in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9; Revelation 22:2). These theological connections demonstrate that the Bible, though written over millennia by various authors, narrates a coherent story of God's redemptive work, culminating in the fulfilment of the original creation through the restoration of what was lost.In the end, I argue that these contrasts not only reveal a continuity of God's plan throughout history but also emphasize His restorative work, offering hope for the ultimate redemption of the world. The Bible, in its entirety, tells a story of loss and restoration, of creation and recreation, all pointing toward the fulfilment of God's kingdom as seen in the new heaven and new earth. Thus, the theology presented in Genesis and Revelation together underscores a divine narrative that is both continuous and restorative, culminating in the redemption of creation itself.Support the showCultural Factors Influence Academic Achievements© 2024 ISBN978-976-97385-7-7 A_MEMOIR_OF_Dr_William_Anderson_Gittens_D_D_2024_ISBNISBN978_976_97385_0_8 Academic.edu.

A perinatális veszteség a mai napig jócskán elhallgatott téma, ami jóval többeket érint, mint gondolnánk. Miért nem beszélünk róla, miért tabusítjuk? Van helye a gyásznak? És ha igen, hol? Miben segíthet az emlékezés, és miben az, ha ezt helyhez tudjuk kötni? Többek közt ezekről a kérdésekről is beszélgetünk Koller Margit szobrászművésszel. Fontos infó: Az enyhülés tere – Helyteremtés a perinatális gyászban érintetteknek című projekt az ISBN+ galériában február 4-ig megtekinthető, aznap tárlatvezetés is lesz, addig pedig nyitvatartási időben lehet megnézni. Bővebben: 00:20 - Ma egy nem túl vidám, de annál fontosabb témáról fogunk beszélgetni, a gyászról, azon belül is a perinatális gyászról. 01:50 - A perinatális gyász körébe tartozhat minden olyan veszteségélmény, ami a terhesség és a szülés környékén jelentkezik. 05:05 - A gyászt tudatosan eltávolította magától az emberiség, de az intézménybe költözésnek vitathatatlan érdemei is vannak. 07:50 - A túlterhelt egészségügyi rendszerben szinte lehetetlen elkerülni a fájó mondatokat, amiknek viszont fizikai lenyomata maradhat. 15:40 - Lehetnének mindenki számára ismert protokollok arra vonatkozóan, hogy mit lehet mondani egy adott helyzetben, mi oké és mi nem az. 19:45 - Egy ilyen veszteség egy kisebb közösséget, a teljes környezetet meg tudja rázni. Hol van lehetőség támogatni őket ilyen helyzetben? 24:15 - Egy dedikált tér segíthet a megélésben és a feldolgozásban. 25:20 - Hogyan lehet biztonságos teret létrehozni egy fájdalomnak vagy egy traumának vagy egy gyásznak? 33:10 - „Te is anya vagy.“ 36:30 - A férfiak gyászfeldolgozása is elképesztően blokkolva van az erős férfikép hazugsága által. Ez eltolja a gyászukat. 39:55 - Kié a gyász? Közügy vagy magánügy? Ki lehet vinni közterületre? 40:40 - Az elfojtás helyett a szembenézés kultúrája kezd terjedni. 47:25 - A gyászt feldolgozni drága dolog. 54:30 - Mennyire nincsenek reprezentálva a nők és a női problémák a köztereken.

Juan Mendoza-Collazos es un diseñador industrial e investigador en semiótica. Es profesor en la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, en la sede de Bogotá. En este episodio hablamos de semiótica cognitiva, de cómo otras especies pueden dar sentido a la vida y cómo esto nos afecta como diseñadores. Las relaciones interespecies se pueden interpretar desde la filosofía y eso es uno de los temas que le interesa a Juan Carlos. Él nos explica con un ejemplo claro, cómo la semiótica nos puede ayudar a dar soluciones para la convivencia en la ciudad.

Johann Peter Kagenbusch, geboren 1816, war ein Schwindler und Hochstapler. Im 19. Jahrhundert konnte er viele Menschen täuschen - auch ein Bankhaus, welches unter seinem Einfluss viel Geld für den Bergwerk an der Mosel, in Bernkastel-Kues, ausgab. Am Ende blieb der Ruin. Doch nicht nur dort betrieb Kagenbusch betrügerische Geschäfte ... Romanautor und Historiker Jörg Matthias Braun weiß mehr zum Mann, der verarmt 1888 starb. Zu unserem Gast: Jörg Matthias Braun stammt aus Bernkastel-Kues. Er hat zehn Bücher über die Geschichte der Stadt Bernkastel-Kues und ihrer Einwohner veröffentlicht. Er hat auch die Chroniken von Bernkastel und Cues überarbeitet und digitalisiert.

Episode 95 In 1980, a seemingly unremarkable fire threatened to expose something far more dangerous than arson. What investigators uncovered was a trail that pointed toward an arms pipeline linked directly to the Irish Republican Army, operating quietly while The Troubles raged overseas. At the center of it all was Charles Galant—a small-time thief who never set out to be part of something so vast, but who became the sole link between a suspicious fire and an armory heist that tied someone in his network to the IRA. In this episode of Crime to Burn, we explore: The fire that first drew police attention How investigators connected a local blaze to an international arms network The role of theft, secrecy, and compartmentalization in terrorist operations How Galant's actions exposed vulnerabilities inside a tightly controlled system And how one overlooked incident nearly unraveled an entire pipeline This is a story about unintended consequences, criminal blind spots, and how fire once again became the catalyst that revealed what was never meant to be seen. Because even the most disciplined organizations fail at their weakest link. Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M. Miller: https://a.co/d/ipCuGL2 Buy Bang Boom Burn by Wayne M.

I don't know anyone who doesn't aspire to become a better listener. For over a decade I experimented, endeavored, and endured great efforts to actively hear people correctly. It was much harder than I ever anticipated. Then I wrote it down.Then I published it in a book.Now I read it out loud so we can all perhaps benefit.Please leave me a note on one of my social media channels at RogerRayBird and let me know what you have found to be valuable for you as a world-class listener. Look for my books on Amazon. 1. My memoir LIES BETWEEN US 2. The addict book "DADDY, WHY WERE YOU A DRUG ADDICT?" Both by Roger Ray Bird The word "addict" is horribly stigmatized, therefore the book will likely not initially show up in your search.

In this episode of Disaster Strikes on the Crux Podcast, hosts Julie Henningsen and Kaycee McIntosh explore the tragic story of Audrey Mestre, a world record freediver whose attempt ended in her untimely death on October 12, 2002. Audrey, a talented marine biologist and wife of famed freediver Francisco 'Pipin' Ferreras, attempted a No Limits dive to 171 meters off the coast of the Dominican Republic but never resurfaced alive. The episode delves into the mysteries surrounding her death, the possible negligence involved, and the ongoing controversy that has gripped the freediving community for over two decades. Featuring insights into the unique physiological demands of freediving, the mechanics of No Limits dives, and the subsequent safety improvements inspired by this tragedy, the discussion also touches on the fictionalized representation of her death in the 2022 Netflix film 'No Limit' and Pipin's subsequent defamation lawsuit.

Addressing the relationship between law and the visual, this book examines the importance of photography in Central, East, and Southeast European show trials. The dispensation of justice during communist rule in Albania, East Germany, and Poland was reliant on legal propaganda, making the visual a fundamental part of the legitimacy of the law. Analysing photographs of trials, Agata Fijalkowski's Law, Visual Culture, and the Show Trial (Routledge, 2023) examines how this message was conveyed to audiences watching and participating in the spectacle of show trials. The book traces how this use of the visual was exported from the Soviet Union and imposed upon its satellite states in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. It shows how the legal actors and political authorities embraced new photographic technologies to advance their legal propaganda and legal photography. Drawing on contemporary theoretical work in the area, the book then challenges straightforward accounts of the relationship between law and the visual, critically engaging entrenched legal historical narratives, in relation to three different protagonists, to offer the possibility of reclaiming and rewriting past accounts. As its analysis demonstrates, the power of images can also be subversive; and, as such, the cases it addresses contribute to the discourse on visual epistemology and open onto contemporary questions about law and its inherent performativity.

In an era marked by overwhelming busyness, rising loneliness, and a profound sense of disconnection exacerbated by social media, many Americans are craving deeper, more meaningful relationships. Even with friends, partners, and family nearby, the fear of burdening others often keeps us isolated, creating a cycle of exhaustion.In KIN: The Future of Family (Atria Books; on sale November 11, ISBN 9781668060650, $29.00), popular writer and New Yorker cartoonist Sophie Lucido Johnson offers a fresh and hopeful response to today's loneliness epidemic. Blending personal stories with sharp social science, KIN uncovers how the relationships we build beyond the nuclear family can provide emotional support, physical care, and shared resources necessary to survive and thrive in modern life.Johnson illustrates how people are inventing new ways to create communities of care: from living with roommates later in life, to co-parenting with friends, to simply asking for help with errands without feeling guilty. Through these examples and her own experiences, Johnson offers accessible, actionable steps for readers to cultivate their own kinship networks and break free from seclusionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

It all began in November 1961, when Arthur Duperrault, a 40-year-old optometrist from Green Bay, Wisconsin, finally set out to give his family the adventure he had been dreaming of for years. Arthur had built a thriving practice specializing in contact lenses, a career that afforded him comfort and stability. But he wanted more than the routines of Midwestern life. What he craved was experience, something unforgettable for himself, for his wife Jean, and for their children: 14-year-old Brian, 11-year-old Terry Jo, and little René, just 7 years old. For years, Arthur had talked about escaping the bitter Wisconsin winters, of trading frost for sunlight and snow for turquoise waters. The Bahamas, in particular, held a special place in his memory. He had promised himself then that he would one day return with the family he dreamed of building. That promise became a plan, and over time, a quiet obsession. He saved steadily until, at last, the moment arrived. What was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime would end in murder, and more than a few questions, and only one person would be left to tell the tale.

Top 10 Photo Books of 2025: Trends, Top Picks & How to Publish Your Own with Daniel Agee (Good Fight Press) From the “10 Frames Per Second” Podcast (Episode 171— Year‑End 2025) “If even one photographer avoids a parasitic publisher because of this episode, it's an hour well spent.” – Daniel Agee Table of Contents Why Photo Books Still Matter in 2025 The State of Photo Book Publishing in 2025 2025 Trends Shaping Photobooks Our Editor's Top 10 Photo Books of the Year (2025) DIY Publishing in 2025: From Blurb to Newspaper‑Club Zines Looking Forward: Diversity, Climate, & Community in 2025+ Take Action – Listen, Read, Create Why Photo Books Matter in 2025 The “10 Frames Per Second” podcast (hosts Joe Giordano and Molly Roberts) brings together photo‑journalists, publishers, and collectors for an annual photo‑book roundup. In the most recent episode they welcomed Daniel Agee—co‑founder of Good Fight—to discuss: The economic realities of publishing a photo book. Emerging themes that dominated the past year and are spilling into 2026. Practical advice for creators who want to self‑publish. If you're looking for fresh titles, insider industry insights, or a step‑by‑step guide to making your own book, keep reading. The State of Photo Book Publishing in 2025 Issue What the Hosts Said (2024) Why It Still Matters for SEO in 2025 High Up‑Front Costs Publishers often charge $8k–$20k (or even $50k) to print a book, leaving many photographers in debt. Target keywords: photo book publishing cost 2025, how much does a photo book cost today? Parasitic vs. Quality Publishers “Parasitic, exploitive” publishers vs. “quality” houses that break even or make modest profit. Optimize for ethical photo book publishers, fair photo book publishing 2025. Self‑Serving Model Some creators profit from selling workshops, museum sales, and speaking gigs, not the book itself. Rank for how to make money with a photo book in 2025. Small Community Size Only 15–25k people worldwide actively buy photo books; reputation spreads fast. Use phrases like photo book community 2025, photo book collectors today. Transparency Is Key Sharing experiences (e.g., “don't pay $25k”) helps protect photographers. Long‑tail keyword: photo book publishing advice for beginners 2025. Takeaway: Know the economics before you sign a contract. Understanding the market helps you negotiate better and choose the right publishing path. 2025 Trends Shaping Photo books 1. Color Dominates the Scene Daniel called himself a “color baby” and highlighted Emily Shur's Sunshine Terrace (color) versus Ian Bates' Weight of Ash (B&W). In 2025, color‑driven storytelling is the norm, with vibrant palettes used to convey mood, climate, and cultural identity. 2. Intimate Family Narratives Continue to Thrive Titles such as Lisa Sogini's In Passing and Elijah Howe's Mike show a growing appetite for personal archives, grief, and memory—a trend that's still expanding in 2025. 3. Climate‑Change Documentation Becomes Urgent Weight of Ash (Ian Bates) and newer titles like “Rising Tides” (upcoming release) prove that eco‑focused photo books are both critically acclaimed and search‑engine friendly. 4. Nostalgia & Re‑imagined Memory Works such as Henry Head's fabricated‑memory series and retro‑styled zines echo a desire for “comforting past” aesthetics. 2025 sees an increase in “memory‑reconstruction” projects that blend staged and documentary photography. 5. DIY & Zine Explosion Small presses (e.g., Pomegranate Press, Charcoal Club) now publish 30+ titles a year. Zines like “Protest City”remain hot because they're cheap, fast, and socially relevant. 6. Diversity Gap Still Visible The hosts noted a 1% presence of women of color on mainstream shelves. In 2025, activist collectives and grant programs are emerging to address this imbalance, creating new opportunities for under‑represented voices. Editor's Top 10 Photo‑Books (2025) While the podcast aired at the end of 2024, the books listed continued to dominate conversations, sales, and awards throughout 2025. # Title & Author Publisher Why It Stands Out (2025 relevance) 1 A Surrender – Markus Naarttijärvi Good Fight IPA Photo Book of the Year; continues to win 2025 exhibition spots. 2 North North South – Ada Gragossian Gost Quiet portraits that bridge B&W (2024) and color (2025) trends. 3 Sunshine Terrace – Emily Shur Deadbeat Vibrant LA suburbia; frequently cited in 2025 “best color photo books.” 4 Weight of Ash – Ian Bates Deadbeat Black‑white documentation of post‑fire West Coast; a reference point for climate‑focused work in 2025. 5 In Passing – Lisa Sorgini LibraryMan (Sweden) Personal grief turned universal; heavily featured in 2025 mental‑health art talks. 6 Mike – Elijah Howe TIS Books Multi‑generational family archive; lauded for its hybrid of historic and contemporary images. 7 American Surfaces – Stephen Shore (original printing) Self‑published Classic modernist, revived interest in 2025 “retro design” movement. 8 Dark Knees – Mark Cohen Self‑published Endless photo flow; used as a case study in 2025 DIY publishing workshops. 9 Rising Tides – Maya Patel Deadbeat First major photo book of 2026 to directly address ocean‑level rise; already generating buzz. 10 Protest City (zine) – Rian Dundon (Episode 87) Independent Timely, affordable; remains a go‑to resource for activist photographers in 2025. Each title links to its publisher or a purchase page (when available) to improve link‑building and user experience. DIY Photo Book Publishing in 2025: From Blurb to Newspaper Club Zines If you're ready to skip the parasitic publisher, here's a 2025‑ready roadmap. 1. Choose Your Platform Platform Ideal For 2025 Price (approx.) Blurb Full‑color photobooks, photo‑calendars $30–$130 per copy Smartpress High‑quality softcover & hardcover $55–$165 per copy Newspaper Club Fast, cheap zines (10‑inch, 20‑page) $1.80 per copy (bulk) Lulu Global POD distribution, ISBN services $22–$115 per copy 2. Keep Production Simple Page count: 20–80 pages works best for self‑publish. Paper: 120‑140 gsm matte for a professional feel without breaking the bank. Bleed: Add 0.125″ (3 mm) bleed to avoid white edges. 3. Photo Book Design Tips for 2026 Use responsive grid systems (12‑column) to ensure visual balance on both print and digital previews. Choose one primary typeface (e.g., GT America) and one accent font for captions. Add an ISBN if you plan to sell through retailers—most POD platforms provide this for a small fee. 4. Printing & Shipping Order a proof copy first; catch color or layout errors. Print in bulk (≥30 copies) to lower per‑unit cost. Ship to local bookstores, photo‑spaces (e.g., Baltimore Photo Space), or directly to collectors. Looking Forward: Diversity, Climate, & Community in 2025+ • More Voices Needed The hosts repeatedly called for photographers of color and women to be featured. In 2025, grant programs (e.g., The Imprint Good Fight Fellowship) and inclusive small presses are actively seeking submissions. • Climate‑Centric Stories Books that document environmental change (e.g., Weight of Ash, Rising Tides) are search‑friendly and align with a growing public interest in sustainability. • Local Photo Spaces as Hubs Places like Baltimore Photo Space act as collaboration labs—they host workshops, zine swaps, and free coffee nights that foster community. • Instagram Still a Gatekeeper Publishers continue to scrutinize follower counts. Building a genuine community and engaging consistently can open doors without paying a publisher upfront.

#197 - Forbidden stories aren't just about shock—they're about truth we're often afraid to name. I sat down with author Bria Rose to explore how dark romance gives readers a safe place to wrestle with power, consent, and grief, and how a reimagined Beauty and the Beast can turn survival into self‑love. Bria shares how childhood bullying and a lifelong bond with Belle's courage shaped her voice, then opens the doors to Her Dark Promise, where Belle is the Beast, the castle is in France, and the magic is human: trauma, desire, and the choice to heal on your own terms.We move from Disneyland memories to real‑world cast life—4 a.m. shifts, sunrise yoga at the castle, and the electric joy of cast previews that remind grownups why Walt designed the park for them, too. Then Bria breaks down dark romance with clarity: morally gray leads, explicit trigger notes, and tropey pressure cookers that challenge comfort zones without glamorizing harm. She explains how to retell a classic without infringing copyright—keeping essence, ditching replicas—and why nods like “the gray stuff” land best when anchored by character depth.The publishing journey is a masterclass: a three‑month draft, two years of rewrites, a decisive pivot to self‑publishing, and a learning curve through KDP, keywords, ISBNs, and design. Sixty cold emails led to one yes and a special edition—proof that you only need one door to open. Along the way, Bria centers representation and found family: all types of characters, sign language, and a castle that becomes a refuge for anyone told they don't belong. We wrap with new projects—an audiobook, a HarperCollins imprint deal, a spicy Pinocchio retelling—and practical advice for aspiring writers: write the words, then make them better.If this conversation sparked something in you, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves retellings, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more curious listeners find the show and keeps these stories moving.To learn more about Bria and her books check out www.authorbriarose.com and give her a follow on Instagram @authorbriarose.

Episode 92 In the conclusion of Samarcand, we turn away from the fire itself and examine what happened after sixteen teenage girls were arrested — and what the justice system did when it realized it had no good options left. With Samarcand no longer able to house them, the state faced a question it wasn't prepared to answer: What do you do with traumatized, rebellious, and violently angry teenage girls the system has already failed? In this episode, we explore: The debate over how — or whether — the girls should be tried The real possibility of sending minors to adult penitentiaries The fear of releasing them back into the public And the consequences of incarcerating them in county jails unequipped to handle them As the girls were moved through the system, tensions exploded. Jail riots broke out. Authorities lost control. And the public narrative hardened around fear rather than reform. We examine how this case exposed a fundamental flaw in the justice system: it is built to punish or release — not to rehabilitate. Especially not when the defendants are young, angry, and shaped by institutional neglect. Finally, we look at what the Samarcand case changed — and what it didn't. How it influenced conversations around juvenile justice, where reform stalled, and why the same structural failures continue to repeat themselves today. This is not a story about guilt or innocence alone. It's about a system that had already run out of answers before it ever asked the right questions.

Episode 91 Sixteen girls. Multiple fires. A system built to control them — and a desperate act that forced the nation to look closer. In this episode, we step inside the walls of the Samarcand Reform School for Girls in North Carolina, where young women lived under harsh discipline, forced labor, and relentless institutional oversight. On the night they began setting fires, they weren't just striking a match — they were striking back. This is a story of defiance, injustice, and the blurred line between rebellion and survival. Were these girls arsonists — or victims fighting for autonomy the only way they could? Listen as we follow the smoke through history and confront the uncomfortable truth about who society punishes, who it protects, and what incendiary acts are born from desperation.
