DescriptionLawrie Philpott spent thirty years inside PwC before founding his own leadership consultancy, Philpott Black. In this episode we go through the actual jobs behind that CV: consulting assignments in Kuwait during Ramadan, Liberia, Nigeria, Kenya and Sudan, leading a flood control strategy for Bangkok, and a trip to the high Arctic that dropped to minus 76 with wind chill, all in the name of writing a better report.We get into what actually separates someone who can do great work from someone who can also sell it, why "working in the organisation" and "working on the organisation" are two different jobs that most leadership teams only do one of, what a board is actually for versus what it's become, and the point at which a growing business genuinely needs one. Lawrie also gives his honest answer on the biggest bullshit in consulting: senior people showing up to win the pitch, then disappearing the moment the work starts.If you're building a leadership team, thinking about your first board, or trying to work out why some client relationships last twenty five years and others don't, this one's for you.Timestamps00:00 Cold open01:18 Introducing Lawrie Philpott02:10 No career plan, and the four pillars: local government, Coopers & Lybrand, Philpott Black, podcasting05:13 How one phone call led to Coopers & Lybrand07:27 First posting: six months in Kuwait during Ramadan08:36 Liberia, Nigeria, Kenya and the toughest job of all: Sudan15:57 What actually makes someone entrepreneurial inside a big firm17:12 The trick his mum taught him before big presentations20:44 Becoming a partner: the internal test of "is he one of us"21:41 Founding Philpott Black in 1996 with zero work on the books24:12 What he actually looks for when hiring25:37 The secret to twenty five year client relationships28:36 Sales versus delivery, and "finders, minders, grinders and binders"32:58 The biggest leadership mistake: working IN the organisation but never ON it39:35 What most boards get wrong, and the case for a senior independent director48:16 When a business actually needs a board50:19 Mentors versus coaches, and "two ears, one mouth"52:40 The Arctic Pilot Project: minus 76 in northern Canada57:03 The biggest bullshit in consulting*Who is Sabrina?*

THE DEVIL WITHIN GUSTAVE — Episode Two: Built to Kill What makes a predator perfect? In Episode Two of our three-part investigation into Gustave, we leave Lake Tanganyika behind for a moment and travel to Tsavo, Kenya, in 1898, where two maneless male lions began pulling railway workers from their camps. The animals that became known as the Ghost and the Darkness terrorized the Uganda Railway project for months before Lieutenant Colonel John Henry Patterson finally killed them. More than a century later, their preserved remains would give scientists something Patrice Faye never had with Gustave: a killer they could actually examine. Then we go inside the Nile crocodile. Calling Gustave a dinosaur isn't scientifically accurate, but crocodilians belong to an evolutionary lineage whose basic predatory strategy has survived for an extraordinary span of time. Eyes and nostrils positioned above the water allow the animal to disappear almost completely beneath the surface. A muscular tail provides explosive acceleration. Armored osteoderms protect the body. Conical teeth seize rather than chew. And when prey is too large to swallow, the infamous death roll can tear it into manageable pieces. Everything about the design is built around one principle: Don't waste energy. That principle makes Gustave's story considerably stranger. Crocodiles are ectothermic ambush predators capable of waiting extraordinary periods between meals. They don't need prolonged pursuit. They wait until an animal enters the narrow strip of geography where water meets land—and then patience becomes explosive violence. For people who depend upon Lake Tanganyika for fishing, bathing, washing and drinking water, that kill zone is also an unavoidable part of everyday life. But Patrice Faye encountered reports of victims attributed to Gustave whose bodies were recovered or only partially consumed. That helped create the sensational legend that Gustave killed for pleasure. The biology tells a more complicated story. Crocodile ecologist Alison Leslie rejected the idea of a crocodilian psychopath. Attacks can be interrupted. Crocodiles can behave territorially. Large prey may be consumed over several days. And some of the deaths attributed to one famous crocodile may have belonged to entirely different animals. Faye nevertheless wondered whether decades of conflict in Burundi and neighboring Congo had provided Gustave with opportunities to scavenge human remains—and thereby learn that humans were simply another available food source. It remains a hypothesis, not an established scientific explanation. Finally, we meet the Old Man of the Lake. Faye estimated Gustave at approaching twenty feet long and perhaps a ton in weight. His enormous body carried distinctive scars, including wounds Faye believed came from gunfire, allowing him to distinguish Gustave from other crocodiles. After decades of survival, this wasn't simply a giant animal. It was an experienced predator capable of learning the repetitive patterns of the people living along its territory. Perhaps Gustave wasn't terrifying because he broke the rules of nature. Perhaps he was terrifying because he followed them perfectly. And Patrice Faye had finally decided that understanding Gustave wasn't enough. He was going to catch him.

Kenya has broken the ground for a new oil refinery backed by Nigerian industrialist and Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote. The 700,000 barrels per day refinery is believed to be a gamechanger in the energy security and stability of petroleum supply in the East African region. The construction of the $16bn dollar oil refinery in Lamu, coastal Kenya is expected to create about 60,000 jobs and be completed within three years. It hopes to provide 1,000 megawatts of power generation, twice the capacity of his Lagos refinery, serving the needs of the Lamu refinery and beyond.And we hear from Ghana's Abigail Anderson who is using modelling and content creation to raise awareness about the condition and what its like to pursue a career in modelling for people with vitiligoPresenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Rukia Bulle and Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Senior Producer: Keikantse Shumba Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla

Founder and Executive Director Donna V. Werner's humanitarian journey began in 2016, when she attended a conference in Toronto, Canada, as an international delegate from the United States. There, she met a gentleman from Kenya who had recently started a school and invited Donna to help support the children. She traveled to Kenya in June 2017 to see the needs firsthand. Upon returning she noted, “I am no longer the same person. Visiting Kenya changed me.”Donna soon established a 501(c)(3): Dorcas Destiny International. DDI has since grown from one relationship with one school into an organization with Kenyan staff and programs serving communities in several parts of the country. Today, DDI coordinates daily feeding for more than 700 children and also provides educational enrichment, social work and home visits, scholarships, and emergency assistance.DDI's scholarship program helps students continue into high school, with the larger vision of helping young people not only complete secondary education but have the opportunity to pursue university, vocational training, and productive futures.One of DDI's most significant next steps is the development of Beloved Destiny Children's Home in Lodwar, Turkana County where DDI currently supports 36 vulnerable children, many who experience life on the streets, hunger, abandonment, or severe family hardship. The vision is to establish a safe, stable home while working with local authorities and families toward education, care, family tracing, and reunification whenever possible.What began with one invitation to visit one school has become a growing international ministry—and Donna continues to ask others to find their place in the story.Dorcas Destiny International (DDI) is a thriving nonprofit providing tangible support to children and women in Kenya, East Africa, since June 2017. DDI serves hundreds of children and families living in extreme poverty through daily nutrition, education, scholarships, crisis assistance, community development, and other programs designed to create lasting impact.Website: https://DorcasDestinyIntl.org.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Decades Distilled: Deeper Dives, a new bonus series where we revisit some of the decades we've explored and take a closer look at the stories, trends and ideas we didn't have time to fully unpack the first time around.For our first Deeper Dive, Kurt is joined by historian, writer and broadcaster Colin Hampden White to revisit the whisky world of the 1990s.It was a fascinating turning point for whisky. Blended Scotch still ruled the shelves, but single malts were finding a wider audience, independent bottlers were introducing drinkers to entirely new flavors, and years of oversupply meant there was some remarkable whisky waiting to be discovered.Drawing on Colin's own experiences drinking across Germany, Kenya and Scotland, he and Kurt explore how whisky culture evolved throughout the decade, from discovering single malts in Edinburgh and Glasgow bars to the rise of independent and cask-strength bottlings. They also look at why the blends of the era tasted so different, how the whisky industry has changed since, and what today's market might be able to learn from the 1990s.Pour yourself a dram and join us for our first Decades Distilled: Deeper Dive.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina, tukimsikiliza mmoja wa washiriki wa UNGA81ulioanza tarehe 22 Septemba na kufunga pazia Jumatatu, tarehe 28 Septemba mwaka huu wa 2026 Paul Siniga, ambaye pamoja na wadhifa mwingine alionao ni mchechemuzi wa Tanzania katika utekelezaji wa malengo ya maendeleo endelevu SDGs na mleta mabadiliko wa watoto kupitia shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF Tanzania. Kwanza anaanza kwa kueleza kilichomgusa zaidi katika mkutano wa mwaka ulikuwa na mambo mengi ikiwemo hotuba za viongozi wa ngazi za juu wa nchi na serikali pamoja na mikutano mbalimbali kandoni mwa hotuba hizo yote haya kuhakikisha mustabali wa dunia yenye umoja , utulivu na maendeleo. Lakini je vijana wanazungumziaje mkutano huo? Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari. • Watoto nchini Lebanon wanakabiliwa na njaa mtoto 1 kati ya 5 akilala bila kula, kukosa shule na kulazimika kufanya kazi kutokana na umaskini unaochochewa na mgogoro, limeonya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF. Shirika hilo limesema asilimia 14 ya kaya zina angalau mtoto mmoja anayelazimika kufanya kazi, zaidi ya mara mbili ya kiwango cha Januari 2025. UNICEF imeitaka jamii ya kimataifa kuchukua hatua za haraka na za kudumu kulinda afya, elimu na ustawi wa watoto wa Lebanon. • Uzoefu wa miaka 15 unaonesha kuwa kuongeza kodi za tumbaku kunaweza kupunguza uvutaji wa sigara na kuongeza mapato ya serikali, kwa mujibu wa Shirika la Afya Duniani (WHO). Uchambuzi katika nchi 15 kati ya 2009 na 2025 umeonesha kuwa matokeo makubwa zaidi yalipatikana pale serikali zilipoongeza kodi kwa kiwango kikubwa na mara kwa mara. Dkt. Etienne Krug wa WHO, amesema “Ushahidi uko wazi, serikali zinapofanya bidhaa hatarishi kuwa ghali zaidi, watu hutumia kidogo, maisha yanaokolewa na mapato ya umma huongezeka,” akitaka ongezeko la kodi linalotabirika ili kufanya tumbaku, pombe na vinywaji vyenye sukari kuwa ghali zaidi. • Na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Chakula na Kilimo FAO kwa kushirikiana na serikali ya Kenya wamezindua Mradi uitwao SoilFer unaohusisha kuwa na ramani ya aina za udongo za taifa hilo la Afrika Mashariki kwa lengo la kuwa na mfumo wa kilimo chenye mnepo. Akizungumzia mpango huo jijini Nairobi, Kenya Naibu Mkurugenzi wa FAO anayeongoza kitengo cha Ardhi na Maji Nora Berrahmouni, amesema taarifa kutoka mpango huo zinasaidia wakulima “kufahamu, mazao watakayopanda, mahali pa kupanda, jinsi ya kupanda, kiasi cha mbolea kinachohitajika na aina ya mbolea.” Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Podcast, host Stu Turley sits down with two influential voices in global energy: Cyrus Brooks of RBAC and NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber. Against the backdrop of unprecedented global energy market disruptions—from geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz to Europe's energy crisis and California's refinery collapse—the conversation pivots to an often-overlooked opportunity: Africa's potential to reshape global energy security. NJ Ayuk makes a bold case for why Africa must move beyond simply exporting raw resources and instead build refining capacity, power data centers, and leverage its vast natural gas reserves to lift 600 million people out of energy poverty. The discussion challenges conventional climate narratives, exposes the barriers created by regulatory overreach and ideological financing restrictions, and outlines a vision for African energy abundance that benefits not just the continent, but the entire world. This is a conversation about pragmatism, market-driven solutions, and the urgent need for Africa to seize its moment on the global energy stage.Check out the African Energy Chamber here: https://energychamber.org/Buy his latest book here: https://a.co/d/0cQzxcLDCheck out RBAC: https://rbac.com/Connect with Cyrus on his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cyrus-brooks-03274713/1. Global Energy Market Disruptions & Geopolitical ImpactsThe hosts discuss major disruptions affecting oil and LNG markets, including the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz tensions, the Bab el-Mandeb strait under siege with tanker rates reaching $800K-$1M daily, the Ukraine war, and Russia operating at 60% utilization. These crises are reshaping global energy supply chains and creating opportunities for new players.2. Africa's Emerging Role in Global Energy SecurityNJ Ayuk emphasizes that Africa is positioned to become a critical energy supplier, particularly through projects like the Dangote refinery in Nigeria, which supplies 30-40% of European jet fuel. Africa can help stabilize global energy markets and reduce dependence on traditional Middle Eastern suppliers.3. Underinvestment in Oil, Gas & RefineriesA key problem identified is chronic underinvestment in exploration, refining, and energy infrastructure globally. This underinvestment has created supply constraints and energy crises. Africa has 52% of undiscovered oil and gas reserves awaiting approval.4. Regulatory Overreach & Permitting DelaysBoth speakers criticize excessive bureaucracy and environmental regulations that slow project approvals. Examples include California's refinery closures and delays in African projects (Mozambique, Tanzania) that have ballooned costs from $20B to $40B+. They advocate for streamlined permitting and market-driven policies.5. Energy Poverty & Clean Cooking CrisisNJ highlights the urgent need to address energy poverty affecting 600 million Africans without electricity and 900 million without clean cooking access. LPG is positioned as a critical solution for improving lives and reducing reliance on biomass.6. Natural Gas as a Bridge Fuel & Peace ToolNatural gas is discussed as essential for powering data centers, AI infrastructure, and industrial development in Africa. It's also framed as a "peace gas" that can provide energy security to regions like Europe while generating revenue for African nations.7. Data Centers & AI as Economic Leapfrog OpportunityNJ proposes powering African data centers with natural gas to position Africa at the edge of AI innovation, creating jobs and economic growth without relying on traditional development models.8. Financing Challenges & World Bank IdeologyThe World Bank's refusal to finance fossil fuel projects is criticized as ideologically driven rather than based on bankability and facts. This creates barriers for African energy development despite clear economic justification.9. Market-Driven Policies vs. Socialist ApproachesNJ advocates for free-market capitalism, individual liberty, and competitive fiscal terms to attract investment. He contrasts this with socialist policies that have hindered African development.10. Africa Energy Week & Continental IntegrationThe upcoming Africa Energy Week in Cape Town (10,000 attendees) is positioned as a movement to showcase Africa's energy potential across upstream, midstream, downstream, gas, and data centers—marking Africa's transition from energy scarcity to abundance.11. Lawfare & Climate Activism as BarriersThe speakers discuss how climate litigation and activism from Western groups are being used to block African energy infrastructure projects, citing the East African crude oil pipeline and Kenya refinery opposition as examples.12. Intra-African Trade & Private CapitalThe African Continental Free Trade Act and local IPOs (like DENCO in Nigeria) are enabling $2.7 trillion in private capital to flow within Africa, reducing dependence on foreign investment and creating competitive pressure for good governance.This podcast presents a compelling case for Africa's energy sovereignty and economic development through pragmatic energy policies.Check out the World's Greatest Podcast Show Notes at EnergyNewsBeat.co or EnergyNewsBeat.com, and the Energy News Beat Substack at: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

As September comes to an end and we prepare to enter the final three months of 2026, this episode of Still Becoming: Our Stories, His Word invites us to stop before rushing into what's next.Anchored in Psalm 103:1–5 and supported by 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, we reflect on gratitude, remembering God's faithfulness, unanswered prayers, ordinary grace, and what it means to thank God even when everything hasn't gone according to plan.Kathambi also shares a brief update about the future of The Still Waters Podcast and Night of Encounter 2026: Kenya, hosted by Christ Formed Ministries on October 9th in Nairobi.Before October begins, take a moment to ask:What am I thanking God for?What did September teach me?What am I surrendering as I enter a new month?Before asking God for what's next, let's remember how far He has already brought us.Happy new month.

What does the confessional Lutheran church look like in Kenya? We were honored to meet and share stories of global Lutheran church leaders at the International Church Relations Conference (ICRC), held during the LCMS Synod Convention. In this conversation, the Rev. Dr. Joseph Omolo (Archbishop, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya) joins Sarah Gulseth (co-host of The Coffee Hour) and Rachel Bomberger (managing editor of The Lutheran Witness, LCMS Communications) to talk about where he lives and works, the history of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya, challenges this church body has faced as they seek to be faithful to Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions, how the church fits into the broader culture of Kenya, how they are able to serve their neighbors with the love of Christ, and the joy he's found among fellowship with fellow Lutherans.

By Doug Green “We help keep the bad guys out all day, every day, 24/7.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast recorded at MSP Summit, Josh Bergen of CallTek is joined by Jason S., “The Beekeeper,” for a lighthearted conversation about a serious subject: helping MSPs protect customers, support users and keep critical systems running. CallTek provides white-label IT support for MSPs, with teams in Kenya and the Philippines supporting customers in the U.S. The company offers Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 technical support, along with NOC and SOC capabilities. The “Beekeeper” theme is a tongue-in-cheek reference to dealing with cyber criminals when everything else fails. The real work, Bergen says, is about making sure things never reach that point. CallTek works behind the scenes for MSPs, using many of the cybersecurity, endpoint and monitoring tools already familiar to the channel. That can include EDR, SIEM, antivirus, web filtering and other technologies selected by the MSP. “We don't resell the software,” Bergen says. “We help operate and support it.” That model allows MSPs to expand their technical capabilities without having to build every layer of support internally. CallTek says it currently works with roughly 100 MSP customers in the U.S. and has a significant presence in hospitality, including support for hotel Wi-Fi environments. The company also works in verticals including nursing homes, multifamily housing, senior living and healthcare. Those environments raise the stakes considerably. Keeping a hotel network running is important, but in healthcare and senior living, Bergen notes that technology can also connect to systems supporting patient monitoring and other critical functions. For MSPs, the value proposition is straightforward: add operational depth, extend support coverage and strengthen security without losing the customer-facing relationship. And if all else fails? That is where “Tier 6 support” and the Beekeeper joke come in. Visit CallTekInc.com to learn more.  

When an election turns violent and neither side will concede, why is the usual answer to put both sides in the same government?Alex Noyes has spent nearly two decades asking whether that reflex works. Compromised Coalitions: The Paradox of Post-Conflict Power Sharing in Africa out in 2026 from the University of Pennsylvania Press, draws on more than 120 interviews with senior politicians and stakeholders in Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Togo to give an unsettling answer. Power sharing can advance democratic reform, but only when two conditions hold: inclusive politics among the parties, and outside enforcers willing to hold them to the deal. Both are rare. And even where the deal ends the killing, it rewards a losing incumbent with unearned power and sets a precedent.In our conversation, Noyes explains why more than 600 such pacts have been struck since the Cold War, what the neglected Togo case reveals, and why he argues these arrangements should almost never be used after election violence. Against the scholarly consensus, Noyes finds these pacts can deliver real democratic reform, but only under conditions that rarely hold, and always at the cost of a compromised start. The costs outweigh the gains, and policymakers should stop defaulting to the model.Our guest is Alex Noyes, a fellow at the Brookings Institution's Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology.Our host is Eleonora Mattiacci, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Amherst College.

Yet again we prove anything is possible with the power of procrastination! Here in the last days of the month we pulled off an 11th hour recording. Bill was out due to family concerns, but Ed and Lou take up the slack with another episode reflecting on one of the greatest Call of Cthulhu adventures ever written, Masks of Nyarlathotep. In this episode we cover the Kenya chapter of that module. Edwin reveals an incredible GM tool to power through narrative elements of an adventure and Lou tries to remember what convention he was just at… (it was “Fractured Realms” https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.fracturedrealms.org/home&ved=2ahUKEwiwlt286JKXAxVkpCsGHdhoCVYQFnoECCQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0nYZ51ooRD60zCy-4xe3Lf ).

Alors que le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU vote ce mardi (29 septembre 2026) pour prolonger de 6 mois le mandat de la Force de répression des gangs (FRG), 32 pays membres de l'OEA (Organisation des États américains) appellent au renouvellement du mandat de la force, principalement composée de soldats tchadiens. Autorisée par l'ONU depuis septembre 2025, la Force de répression des gangs (FRG) a pris la suite de la MMAS, dirigée par le Kenya, mais affiche un bilan encore maigre et devrait être pleinement déployée seulement à la fin de l'année. L'essentiel des pays membres de l'OEA appelle le Conseil de sécurité à prolonger ce mardi son mandat de 6 mois, explique Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse. Avec Anne Cantener, il aborde aussi l'avertissement lancé par le Conseil électoral provisoire (CEP), qui appelle les partis politiques et candidats à ne pas faire campagne avant l'ouverture officielle de la période dédiée en vue du premier tour de la présidentielle et des législatives prévues pour le 13 décembre 2026. Enfin, sur le site de l'agence de presse haïtienne en ligne, Aly Acacia s'interroge sur la disgrâce de l'écrivain Thélyson Orélien, accusé d'avoir utilisé l'IA pour écrire son roman C'était ça ou mourir. « Pourquoi avons-nous tant souffert de [sa] chute ? », lance-t-il aux lecteurs. « Le problème apparaît lorsque l'inspiration devient une délégation identitaire, lorsque l'individu cesse d'être lui-même pour devenir le dépositaire des espoirs ou des angoisses d'un peuple entier », écrit-il.

Le texte prévoit notamment une baisse d'impôts pour les entreprises. Mais l'équation est complexe car, dans le même temps, José Antonio Kast promet de réaliser l'équivalent de 6 milliards de dollars d'économies pendant son mandat.

Discussions of AI are everywhere today; it's the culture in which we're all currently swimming (sometimes drowning!). But today's guest is the best of the best as it relates to the intersection of AI, the law, and digital publishing. He offers fresh perspectives, clarity, and precision that is like throwing us life preservers and allowing us to catch our breaths. If you listen to no other Talk Paper Scissors episode this year, please have a listen to this one.Jake Okechukwu Effoduh is an Assistant Professor at the Lincoln Alexander School of Law. His research focuses on the intersections of AI, human rights, and international law. He has contributed to a broad range of AI policy development in several countries, including Canada, the United States, Brazil, Kenya, South Africa, China and Nigeria. Jake has held fellowships at Harvard Law School, Harvard Kennedy School, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Ottawa, and the University of Cape Town. He is a UNESCO Expert on AI and the Rule of Law, providing training to judges, law teachers and legal officers on the use of AI in legal and judicial contexts. In this conversation you'll hear about Jake's work surrounding technology, algorithmic bias, discrimination, and how we can rethink about the future of technology. We talk friction, we talk trust as the new currency, accountability, why we might need a new Internet, and how creativity can help us imagine new futures.Jake helps us unravel and reimagine the definition of creativity in a time of AI and why AI systems (as they exist today), really can't be creative. (Phew!) He also shares what a fair relationship between creatives and AI companies could look like. Jake helps us better understand what AI is doing to us as human beings, and he shares what he's optimistic about and less optimistic about. Come with us on a journey as Jake helps us disentangle some of the complexities surrounding AI, the law, and digital publishing This is a recording in Digital Publishing at The Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University in summer 2026. Let's Connect on the web or via Instagram. :)

Ghana rejects health deal with US over privacy concerns +++ Kenya: Court denies application to stop launch of Dangote refinery +++ Uganda crowns Tooro king after weeks of succession battle

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to introduce you all to: Ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, published writer and author, TikTok content creator, dancer, artist, and creative, civil engineer with a passion for natural building, haircut wizard, and declutter and deprogramming warrior: Armaan Keval MaldeA little bit about Armaan and what you can expect to hear about on today's episode: Armaan comes from the Visa Ohshwal community, a lineage he traces from India through Kenya back toward Persia. Both of his parents share that background as well. He believes multi-generational programming ran through the family and the wider group, and that schools, hospitals, and businesses built by relatives may have doubled as covers. He says the official story of his birth was a lie: he was told July 4, 1996, but his memories place his origin around January 1, 1993, in an Iranian lab, with years shuttled between there and a facility in Switzerland, where a twin or clone was also created. He was then moved through Africa into Kenya and on to the United States; while his twin was sent separately to New York.From ages three to six he lived underground: programmed, surgically altered, gender-inverted, and prepared to live as a female. At age six he was placed with his adoptive family looking so malnourished he looked three years old. From then on he and the twin were rotated - one living the visible life, the other taken below. Every school, he says, sat above hidden rooms and tunnels. Pregnancies began in childhood. His body later swelled in ways that did not match starvation; and he attributes this to implanted filler. The implanted uterus began rejecting him long before he had language for any of it.In 2017 something in him chose life before he even understood the full map. The dissociated memories of childhood did not return until 2022–2023, after homelessness ended and he finally had a door he could lock. Safety itself became holy. In 2019, before he even had the words “ritual abuse,” visualization brought him to what he calls Stage 1 DID integration. That alone is astonishing: he began putting a shattered mind back together while still standing inside the lie. He now lives in Stage 2 integration—one functioning person, with remaining parts mostly holding memory. He believes Stage 3 is near: residual memory cleared, a life that cannot be dismantled again, pain met without leaving the body. For most of his years he wanted the story to end. What kept him here was not mere endurance. It was vocation. If he could survive this, and then share the methods with other survivors, then they would not have to invent survival from nothing. He is certain that is why he is alive. He believes complete healing is possible - not as a slogan, but as a promise he has already begun to keep in his own nervous system.That promise now shapes everything he builds. On TikTok as DeprogramSRA69 he does not perform pain for spectacle. He teaches. He shares protocols for DID, programming, extreme grief, and deliverance, along with the workbook Deprogram Yourself. He has already proven that a person with almost no support can still become a source of support. But as you witness him, do not mistake his gentleness for smallness. This is a man who crawled out of rooms designed to erase him and then asked, Who else is still down there? His life is the answer he gives to the dark: you do not get the last word. To other survivors his message is a vow, not a platitude. You can do more of the healing yourself than you were ever allowed to believe. You are more capable than the people who broke you wanted you to know. The laboratories tried to write his ending before he could speak. Armaan answered with a life so stubbornly luminous that it became an invitation. Come back. You are not too shattered. You are not too late. The dark was real. The return is realer. If one person can walk out carrying both the wound and the medicine, then none of us have to stay buried. He is still writing. And the ending he is writing now is not only his. It is ours - if we are brave enough to believe that healing, fully and finally, is possible.

About the Show:"If you come to a SoNA concert, you are already my friend." — Akiko FujimotoIn this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, host Randy Wilburn sits down with Symphony of Northwest Arkansas (SoNA) music director Akiko Fujimoto. Recorded at the Fayetteville Public Library just days into her tenure, the conversation traces her path from a psychology major quietly taking music classes to a mid-career conductor who has worked across the country, including as associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra. After years of visiting the region from her home in Conway, she explains why she made a beeline for the SoNA job and why she wants the orchestra to be the symphony of all of Northwest Arkansas, not just Fayetteville. Her approach starts from a simple idea: she thinks of herself as one of the listeners.Akiko walks through her first season, which she calls her giant love letter to the region. It opens with celebratory dance music that builds to Stravinsky's The Firebird, centers on Beethoven's 5th in February, and closes in April with a nature program featuring Respighi's The Pines of Rome, The Lark Ascending, Wagner's Forest Murmurs, and a work by Arkansas-born composer William Grant Still. She also shares how becoming a Faulkner County Master Gardener shaped the way she "landscapes" a season, her hope to take the full orchestra to cities across the region, and her interest in partnering with the local health community on music and mental health. Whether you're a longtime subscriber or have never set foot in a concert hall, this episode is your invitation.Key TakeawaysAn Accidental Beginning: A high school choir teacher who handed Akiko her rehearsals first planted the idea of conducting, and she didn't even know it was a job until college.A Symphony for the Whole Region: SoNA Beyond and SoNA Mentors already send musicians into schools across the region; Akiko's dream is to bring the full orchestra to each city, with programs tailored to local venues.Programming as Landscaping: Like a landscaper reading the climate, the sun, and the client, she matches the region, the orchestra, and the audience against a growing database of repertoire to build a balanced season.Music and Wellness: Drawing on her psychology background and Renée Fleming's anthology Music and Mind, she wants to explore how SoNA can support mental health across Northwest Arkansas.Nature Takes the Stage: The April 2027 season finale is her ode to the Natural State, timed as a prelude to Earth Day.Beethoven as Common Ground: She chose Beethoven's 5th for February partly as a way for her and the orchestra to build their relationship.Everyone Is Welcome: Pre-concert talks and introductions from the stage give first-timers a roadmap, so the symphony feels welcoming rather than stuffy.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Symphony of Northwest Arkansas (SoNA) Website: https://www.sonamusic.org/SoNA on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/symphonynwa/SoNA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sonafan/SoNA on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwfkP-DovwhXqUzceEXssgSoNA 2026-27 MainStage Season Tickets: https://www.sonamusic.org/ticketed-performancesAkiko Fujimoto on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/akikoconductor/Akiko Fujimoto on X (Twitter): https://x.com/akikoconductorWalton Arts Center: https://waltonartscenter.org/Fayetteville Public Library: https://www.faylib.org/FPL Center for Innovation: https://www.faylib.org/innovationCrystal Bridges Museum of American Art: https://crystalbridges.org/Alice L.

#456 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Seán O'Laoire about Christ consciousness, which Seán described as the permanent awareness of the inner divinity of all beings. Seán explained that life had unfolded like nested dreams, where the ego, soul, spirit, and source were gradually remembered through deeper levels of awakening. He also shared his view that souls had chosen incarnation as a kind of divine hide-and-seek, where limitation, amnesia, and separation created the conditions for growth, compassion, and the return to God.  The conversation also explored Seán's years in Kenya, where stories, proverbs, and African wisdom helped him see that every culture carried a sacred way of recognizing the divine. By the end, Seán reflected on reincarnation, soul groups, judgment, compassion, and the wisdom of children, encouraging listeners to let go of prejudice, become more curious and forgiving, and recognize that there was only God and only love. ==================== Guy in the USA: immortaltaoistrites.com/matt-and-guy-lawerence Work with with Guy:  www.guylawrence.com.au/start-here    Guy's Official Partners: The DNA Company – Get 10% Off https://thednacompany.com/letitinpodcast FLFE – 2 Week Free Trial (No Credit Card Required) https://www.flfe.net/rp-affiliates.php?p=LiveInFlow&w=TryFLFEfree ====================  Referenced in This Episode Iain McGilchrist Thich Nhat Hanh Carl Jung Daniel Toroitich arap Moi LIVE IN FLOW ====================  Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - The Path to Unity: Understanding Christ Consciousness!

Three billion people have never heard of Jesus, and you could easily have been one of them. In week two of Asking for a Friend, Kale Courtright traces it back to a mission trip to Kenya and sets it beside John 14, where Jesus says no one comes to the Father except through him. He won't reach for the easy answer, and instead turns the question around by asking why, if Jesus is really that good, we wouldn't want everyone to know him.Speaker: Kale Courtright | Series: Asking for a Friend | Scripture: John 14:1-6CrossPoint Church of Christ · Grand Prairie, TX · Sundays at 10:30am Watch the full service: https://youtu.be/HJBj5fKhmQ4 Plan a visit / Connect Card: https://rb.gy/jy6fw Give online: https://rb.gy/9nf7k Website: https://crosspointcofc.orgSubscribe for a new message every week.#CrossPointChurch #Sermon #AskingForAFriend

Stephen Grootes speaks to Carlo Murison, CEO and founder of Two Tone Global, about building the agency over 25 years and rebuilding it after the pandemic reduced the business to just six people. Three years later, Two Tone had grown back to almost 50 people and expanded into Kenya, where its operation has also grown to nearly 50 staff. Murison reflects on the decisions that helped rebuild the business, the changing relationship between agencies and clients, and why he believes AI should strengthen creative work rather than simply cut costs.

En RD Congo, deux hauts responsables de l'armée congolaise sont décédés dans le crash d'un avion survenu vendredi 25 septembre. Douze autres personnes, membres de la délégation et de l'équipage, ont également péri. Les causes de l'accident ne sont pas encore connues. Une enquête est en cours.

En pleine frénésie de l'intelligence artificielle, le journaliste Christophe Payet, auteur de GuerillIA (éditions du Seuil), invite à dépasser le marketing de la peur. Il prône une réappropriation locale, frugale et créolisée de l'intelligence artificielle. Entretien. Ces temps-ci, les discours sur l'intelligence artificielle oscillent entre deux extrêmes : des promesses de salut ou l'apocalypse. Pour Christophe Payet, ces récits s'inscrivent dans un véritable « technopium » – clin d'œil à l'opium du peuple théorisé par Karl Marx. « Ce récit mystique, qu'il soit fasciné ou apocalyptique, nous condamne totalement à l'impuissance », analyse-t-il. Au micro de L'atelier des médias, l'auteur de GuerillIA explique qu'en alimentant la peur d'une superintelligence incontrôlable, les géants technologiques font de la com' et masquent des réalités concrètes et prosaïques : la consommation d'eau des data centers, la précarisation des travailleurs du clic au Kenya ou à Madagascar, et la prolifération du « slop », cette bouillie de contenus synthétiques. Biais idéologiques et impérialisme culturel Conçues en majorité par des hommes blancs californiens, les IA génératives véhiculent les présupposés culturels de leurs concepteurs. Elles intègrent aussi de la « sycophancy », cette flatterie algorithmique conçue pour susciter de l'addiction. Plus grave encore, la diffusion planétaire de ces modèles impose une vision du monde unique. Christophe Payet alerte : « On est dans une monoculture imposée qui est en réalité un nouvel impérialisme culturel ». L'enjeu fondamental, rappelle-t-il, ne doit pas résider dans la quête d'une puissance brute, mais dans l'appropriation démocratique des outils. Des modèles frugaux et une créolisation de l'IA La riposte passe par des initiatives à des échelles plus petites. À l'image de la start-up sud-africaine Lelapa AI et de son modèle IncubaLM, entraîné spécifiquement sur cinq langues africaines, des alternatives émergent. Frugaux en énergie et accessibles hors ligne, ces outils répondent à de vrais besoins citoyens. Il s'agit de « créoliser l'IA », c'est-à-dire de « récupérer cette technologie pour en faire une technologie dont on s'empare avec notre langue, notre culture et nos enjeux locaux ». Mener la guérilla dans les interstices technologiques S'inspirant du Manuel du guérillero urbain (1969) de Carlos Marighella, Christophe Payet appelle à utiliser les plateformes open source comme Hugging Face pour s'approprier les armes de l'ennemi. Enfin, l'auteur, qui assume avoir utilisé Claude, d'Anthropic, pour le challenger durant l'écriture de ce livre, met en garde contre la « prolétarisation cognitive ». « Si je lui délègue l'écriture à ma place, je vais me prolétariser et perdre en savoir-penser. »

Today we're sharing a bonus episode from the WASSAP podcast, where Alan joins hosts Désirée Custers and Hubert Kinkoh to explore the growing interconnectedness of the Horn of Africa, the Gulf, and the wider Red Sea region.The conversation traces how Gulf engagement in the Horn has evolved over the past decade, examining the impact of Gulf rivalries, the war in Sudan, tensions in Yemen, and the fallout from the Iran crisis on regional security dynamics. Alan discusses how conflicts across the Red Sea increasingly spill over into the Horn, creating new patterns of competition, cooperation, and strategic alignment.A central theme of the episode is the relationship between regional geopolitics and state agency. The discussion highlights how actors in the Horn of Africa navigate external rivalries and partnerships while pursuing their own interests and ambitions. Looking ahead, Alan reflects on the challenges facing regional diplomacy and why the growing integration of the Horn, the Gulf, and the wider West Asia region remains one of the most important trends shaping the region's future.About the WASSAP podcastThe WASSAP: the Africa - West Asia Podcast translates the findings of a three-year research project on West Asian (Gulf)–Sub-Saharan African relations into an accessible, engaging audio format. It explores how economic, political, cultural, religious, and security ties between selected Gulf countries and African partners are evolving and why these shifts matter globally, particularly for Europe.Hosts of the podcast are Desirée Custers (project manager, CARPO) & Hubert Kinkoh (Senior Researcher, CARPO)About the WASSAP projectThe project explores the multi-dimensional and complex relations between selected Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Iran) and four Sub-Saharan countries (South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia). It aims to deconstruct and analyze their economic networks, cultural and religious affiliations, and political and security cooperation. Based on empirical research, the project provides a better understanding of Gulf-African exchange, its challenges and opportunities, as well as its implications for Europe. The project is financed by the Robert Bosch Foundation and will run for three years.Shownotes:The Horn podcast: https://www.crisisgroup.org/pod/africa/horn-africa/hornMore information on the host:Desirée Custers: https://carpo-bonn.org/en/about-us/team/team/desiree-custersHubert Kinkoh: https://carpo-bonn.org/en/about-us/team/team/hubert-kinkohFollow the CARPO on:https://www.linkedin.com/company/carpo-–-center-for-applied-research-in-partnership-with-the-orient-e-v/posts/?feedView=allhttps://www.instagram.com/carpo_bonn/Editor Marco Bussi:https://www.marcobussi.de/ Hosted on Acast.

Climate change is increasingly being treated not simply as an environmental problem, but as an issue of national security, energy independence, industrial strategy and geopolitics.Fresh from UNGA and Climate Week NYC, climate security analyst Erin Sikorsky joins Nick Breeze to discuss what actually changed during the week.They examine new moves by the UK, EU and Kenya to put climate and ecosystem risks firmly on the security agenda, and why Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the war in Iran and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz have strengthened the strategic case for renewable energy and electrification.But electrification creates its own geopolitical dilemma. With China dominant across important parts of the clean-tech and battery supply chain, Sikorsky discusses how Western governments can reduce fossil-fuel dependency without simply creating a new strategic dependency on China.The conversation also explores climate liability and loss and damage, including Nepal's case and the increasingly difficult question of which countries should pay as the traditional distinction between developed and developing economies becomes harder to sustain.Then they turn to solar geoengineering.Sikorsky explains why SRM is beginning to move beyond its specialist scientific community and into climate-security discussions, and why misunderstanding, mistrust and geopolitical escalation may present risks every bit as important as the underlying technology.Finally, looking towards the developing El Niño, Sikorsky argues that governments have a window in which to prepare for a potentially extraordinary summer — and an opportunity to learn what a warmer future may increasingly look like.

The Fifth Pan-African Congress was held in Manchester, England, in 1945, helping to shape the post-war struggle against colonialism and racial discrimination. Prominent black activists, intellectuals and trade union leaders from around the world attended, including Kwame Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyatta, who would later become the leaders of independent Ghana and Kenya.In 2020, Alex Last explored the story through archive recordings of one of the delegates, the late African National Congress activist and writer Peter Abrahams, and spoke to Professor Hakim Adi of the University of Chichester about the significance of the meeting.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive. Each weekday, in around nine minutes, we revisit one moment that helped shape the world and hear it through the voice of someone who was there. Scientists, artists, campaigners, soldiers, leaders and everyday people tell their true stories.When you subscribe to Witness History, you'll be taken inside turning points in world affairs from West Africa's fight back against Boko Haram in 2015 to the behind-closed-doors talks that led to the US-Cuba “thaw” and the surprise announcement of restored relations. You'll discover what it was like to experience disasters and how people recovered from them, including the Tabasco floods in Mexico, Portugal's worst train disaster, and the huge clean-up after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. You'll explore culture and ideas too: Sweden's Expedition Robinson, often credited as the first modern reality TV game show; the friendship between The Beatles' George Harrison and Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar; and the night a tiger attack brought Las Vegas superstars Siegfried and Roy's show to a sudden end.
