What does it really take to become an exceptional technical diver? In episode 123 of Speaking Sidemount brought to you by XDEEP, I sit down with my long-time mentor and friend Tom Steiner, founder of Gozo Technical Diving, to explore the philosophy that has shaped thousands of technical divers over nearly four decades. I first trained with Tom in Gozo, Malta, in 2015–16, completing my Technical Sidemount Instructor, Normoxic Trimix, Full Cave, Advanced Gas Blender and Open Water Instructor qualifications before working for him as an instructor. Many of the standards I teach today were forged during that time. With more than 17,000 dives and thousands of students trained, Tom shares why experience always outweighs certifications, how attitude determines success, why technical diving isn't necessarily about going deeper, and the lessons he's learned from a lifetime spent underwater. We also discuss:Why chasing certifications can make you a worse diver What separates good divers from exceptional diversBuilding judgment and experienceTeamwork and attitude in technical divingSidemount vs twinsetThe evolution of technical divingGozo Technical Diving todayGreenland expedition diving and iceberg explorationHow to choose the right instructorInstructor development and teaching philosophyThe future of technical divingWhether you're a recreational diver looking to progress, an experienced technical diver, or an instructor wanting to improve your teaching, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom from one of diving's most respected educators.Thanks to our Sponsor, XDEEP - https://www.xdeep.eu Follow Tom Steiner & Gozo Technical Diving - www.gozotechnicaldiving.comTom's Video Training Series - www.tomsteiner.proTom's Recommended Reading:The Checklist Manifesto – Atul GawandeThe Art of Learning – Josh WaitzkinDeep Survivor – Laurence Gonzalez Follow Steve Davis Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nzstevedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nzsteved

MALTA MOMENTSWhat if the place you thought was a setback is actually a God-ordained stop?In this powerful message, Pastor Eric takes us to Acts 28 and the story of Paul's shipwreck on the island of Malta. Paul was on his way to Rome, but before he reached his destination, God led him through a storm, a shipwreck, a snakebite, and an unexpected stop.Sometimes we become so focused on where God is taking us that we miss what He wants to do in us and through us along the way.A Malta Moment is a season when you thought you were headed one direction, but suddenly find yourself somewhere you never planned to be. But not every stop is the work of the enemy. Some stops are necessary. Some stops are God-ordained.In Malta, Paul discovered that the same hand that was bitten by the snake could still be used to bring healing. What looked like a detour became a place of divine protection, miracles, provision, and purpose.You may be in a storm right now. You may feel stuck, delayed, discouraged, or like you've been in your own “Malta” for far too long.But remember:The same God who orders your steps also orders your stops.Keep praising. Keep praying. Keep serving. Keep believing. Keep building the fire in the rain.Your Malta may not be the end of your journey—it may be the place where God prepares you for what comes next.

One of the most fascinating areas of John's research is the centuries-old belief in shapeshifters—humans, spirits, witches, and mysterious entities said to transform from one form into another. From ancient legends to modern encounters, John explores the question: Are shapeshifters simply folklore, or could something very real be hiding behind these incredible stories?Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.  We broadcast LIVE every night. #UFO #UAP #AlienDisclosure #UFOSightings #UFOCoverUp #Aliens #SpacedOutRadio #Paranormal #UFOCommunity #disclosure -------------------------------------------------------You can now join the Space Traveler's Club;Join us at  https://www.patreon.com/sor_space_travelers_club  --------------------------------------------------------Grab Our Latest Spaced Out Radio Gear At:http://spacedoutradio.com/shop  It's a great way to support our show!--------------------------------------------------------OUR LINKS:TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/spacedoutradio   FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/spacedoutradioshow  SPACED OUT RADIO - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/spacedoutradioshow  DAVE SCOTT - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/davescottsor   TWITCH: https://www.twitch.com/spacedoutradioshow  WEBSITE: http://www.spacedoutradio.comGUEST IDEAS OR QUESTIONS FOR SOR?Contact Klaus at bookings@spacedoutradio.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

Carolyn the Chick Who Doesn't Know Sports chimes in to talk about Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring for the WNBA Draft. And Colter Nuanez shares an interview with Malta high school football coach Nick Oxarart. 

Malta es un archipiélago diminuto compuesto por tres islas principales de apenas 320 kilómetros cuadrados de superficie. No tiene ríos, hay muy poca tierra fértil y escasea el agua. Por lógica, un lugar así no debería ser muy deseable y su papel en la historia tendría que haber ido parejo a su tamaño. Pero ocurrió lo contrario. Su posición en el centro exacto del Mediterráneo, a la entrada del canal de Sicilia, donde el mar se estrecha y se parte en dos cuencas, convirtió a Malta desde tiempos lejanos en una de las islas más codiciadas. Quien dominaba Malta dominaba ese brazo de mar y podía asfixiar el comercio. Llegó a ser tan importante que en la segunda guerra mundial se ganó el apodo de portaviones insumergible. A ese valor se sumaba el de contar uno de los mejores puertos naturales del Mediterráneo, situado en la costa norte, donde los caballeros de San Juan levantaron la ciudad fortificada de La Valeta. Cinco grandes asedios han definido su historia. El primero fue en el año 870, cuando los aglabíes de Ifriqiya arrasaron la ciudad bizantina de Melita tras un sitio dirigido por el ingeniero Halaf al Hadim. La plaza fue saqueada, sus murallas demolidas y su población esclavizada o pasada a cuchillo. Los conquistadores no querían quedarse, solo neutralizar la isla. Décadas después la repoblaron colonos musulmanes llegados desde Sicilia que dejaron una herencia permanente, el maltés, único idioma semítico escrito en alfabeto latino de la Unión Europea. El segundo asedio fue el de Mdina en 1429. Una flota hafsí proveniente de Túnez desembarcó unos 18.000 hombres como represalia por una incursión aragonesa realizada poco antes en las costas africanas. La vieja capital resistió tres días encaramada en su cerro, pero el enemigo saqueó el resto de la isla y se llevó miles de cautivos. Malta tardó décadas en recuperarse de aquel golpe demográfico. El tercero, el Gran Sitio de 1565, es el más conocido. Solimán el Magnífico envió entre 40.000 y 50.000 hombres contra los 6.000 u 8.000 defensores de la Orden de San Juan capitaneados por su gran maestre, el anciano Jean Parisot de la Valette. El sacrificio del fuerte de San Telmo, que aguantó un mes y costó miles de bajas otomanas y la vida del corsario Dragut, dio tiempo a que llegara el socorro español desde Sicilia. Los turcos se retiraron en septiembre tras cuatro meses de sitio. El cuarto fue distinto. En 1798 Napoleón tomó la isla sin necesidad de disparar aprovechando la decadencia de la Orden. Pero su ofensiva anticlerical provocó una insurrección de los malteses. Los británicos declararon un bloqueo naval que obligó a rendirse a los franceses, pero solo después de dos años resistiendo tras los inexpugnables muros de La Valeta. Tras ello los británicos se apoderarían del archipiélago durante siglo y medio. El quinto sitio llegó en 1940, pero esta vez no llegó ni por tierra, ni por mar, sino desde el aire. Los aliados habían transformado Malta en una base clave para interceptar los convoyes del Eje rumbo a África. Los alemanes la bombardearon durante años de forma inclemente, pero la isla no se rindió. Gracias a eso su contribución a la victoria aliada en el norte de África fue fundamental. Para reconocérselo el rey Jorge VI concedió la Cruz de San Jorge a toda la población de las islas, la misma cruz que hoy la república de Malta luce orgullosa en su bandera.

Debate da Super Manhã: Conflitos políticos, questões econômicas e divergências ideológicas podem provocar crises nas relações diplomáticas entre os países. Durante uma crise diplomática, os países envolvidos podem adotar algumas medidas, como suspender negociações, impor sanções econômicas ou reduzir a cooperação entre os governos. Em situações mais graves, pode ocorrer o rompimento das relações diplomáticas, representando um significativo enfraquecimento dos vínculos entre os Estados. No debate desta quarta-feira (12), a comunicadora Natalia Ribeiro conversa com os convidados sobre a diplomacia mundial, os limites das disputas políticas, comerciais e geopolíticas, além dos possíveis impactos dessas questões nas eleições de 2026 no Brasil. Participam o doutor em Direito, especialista em Neoconstitucionalismo e Políticas Internacionais de Integração, e professor de Direito do Centro Universitário Tiradentes Unit, Álvaro de Oliveira Azevedo Neto; a graduada em Relações Internacionais, mestre e doutoranda em Ciência Política e professora de Relações Internacionais da UNINASSAU Boa Viagem, Maria Gabriela Mazzarella; e o cônsul honorário de Malta e professor da Universidade do Norte da Flórida, Thales Castro.

Chris J. Evans photographs some of the most over-the-top luxury and destination weddings in the world.  Maui to Malta to Lake Como and in this episode he pulls back the curtain on the biggest shift the wedding industry has seen in years: Gen Z is here, and they want something completely different.Chris gets honest about the year his fifteen-year growth streak stalled, the 15 strikeouts in a row that forced him to change, and the single messaging tweak that flipped it back to 15 bookings in a row. We dig into why these couples care less about the polished, romantic "your love story" imagery and more about the collective story of their people — the party, the tribe, the peak-energy gathering of everyone they love.From there it turns into a masterclass on something bigger than photography: how to become the vendor every planner wants in the room. Chris shares how he builds planner relationships that last, why taking work off the planner's plate is the whole game, and the tiny two-second acts of service, wiping down a wet bench, handing umbrellas to the moms in the front row that have booked him entire clients. It all comes back to one idea he lives by, borrowed from the Ritz Carlton: we are ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.If you're a few years into your business and confident behind the camera but still fighting the fear of "missing the shot," this one will reframe how you think about your real job on a wedding day.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy 65–70% of Chris's couples are now Gen Z, and how their expectations differ from millennial clientsThe messaging and imagery shift that took him from 15 losses to 15 bookings in a rowWhy the day has moved from an 80/20 to a 90/10 workflow — and what that means for how you shootHow to build wedding planner relationships that actually last (and why 99% of his bookings come through them)The hospitality mindset that makes you unforgettable and books you more workHow to get past the insecurity of "missing the shot" and lead with presence insteadWhy Gen Z wants real over perfect, grain, nostalgia, imperfect, and rad and how to lean into itWhether you shoot weddings, brands, or families, Chris will leave you thinking differently about the experience you create,  not just the images you deliver.This episode is brought to you by PhotoCo,  the community, education, and coaching space built to help photographers grow businesses that actually last.

David Le Breton"La fine della conversazione"La parola in una società spettraleEdizione italiana a cura di Pietro Grassi e Raymond ZammitArmando Editorewww.armandoeditore.itSempre più assorbito dallo smartphone e isolato dagli auricolari, l'individuo ipermoderno vive immerso in un altrove digitale che indebolisce la percezione dell'ambiente e degli altri.

In this last chapter of Acts, Paul comes ashore on Malta and is bitten by a viper while putting wood on a fire, and the islanders conclude he is a murderer getting what he deserves. When he does not die they decide he is a god. He winters on the island, heals the father of the leading man there, and sails for Italy in the spring. He reaches Rome in custody and spends two years in a rented house at his own expense, receiving anyone who will come and making the case for Jesus out of Moses and the Prophets.  The Rev. Caleb Adams, senior pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Bend, OR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 28:1-31. To learn more about Trinity in Bend, visit trinitylutheranbend.org. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

August 5, 2026Today's Reading: Acts 28:1-15Daily Lectionary: Acts 28:1-15“After we were brought safely through…” (Acts 28:1a)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.It had been three long years since Paul had been arrested by a Jewish mob in Jerusalem and thrown before the High Priest Ananias. The Jews had made a plot to kill him, but that plot had been foiled, and he was skirted away to Caesarea to be put under the authority of Felix, the governor. During the next 36 months, Paul would appeal to be heard by Caesar, speak in front of rulers and authorities, sail for Rome, be caught at sea by a storm, and be shipwrecked on the island of Malta.Luke begins our Reading for today with the words, “After we were brought safely through…” It was the providential will of God that Paul would not find his end at the hands of a Jewish mob in Jerusalem, but instead that he would go on proclaiming the Gospel all the way to the steps of Rome. Christ crucified would be made known throughout the world despite his imprisonment. (Dare I say even because of it?)Is it any wonder that Paul would be able to pen in Romans that, “God works all things for good for those who are called according to his purpose,” and, in 2 Corinthians, “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”The Christian gives thanks to the Lord above for the faithful witness of His apostles. It's no mere accident that these men suffered imprisonment, torture, persecution, and martyrdom; for as Christ said, “A servant is not above his master.” But these things took place so that you and I might know what Christ is and who He is for us 2000 years after the Apostle Paul met his blessed end.God had seen Paul through all of these hardships with you in mind, so that you might “have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.” (Ephesians 3:18-19a)The doctrine handed down by the Apostles is the very doctrine that is preached and proclaimed in your congregations. It is the foolishness of the cross, the stumbling block of a crucified Savior risen from the dead for the forgiveness of your sins. We confess these truths in the Creeds, and we receive these truths in the Divine Service. We profess these promises to the lost and fallen world around us. And we live in the grace and mercy of the Gospel until Christ comes again in glory.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.I trust, O Lord, Your holy name; O let me not be put to shame Nor let me be confounded. My faith, O Lord, Be in Your Word Forever firmly grounded. (LSB 734:1)Rev. Eli Lietzau, pastor of Wheat Ridge Evangelical Lutheran Church in Wheat Ridge, CO.

The worst place to be caught in a storm is the open sea — and that is exactly where Paul ends up, a prisoner on a grain ship the experts insisted was safe to sail. Continuing the study of Acts at Quentin Road Baptist Church, Pastor Jim Scudder walks through Acts 27 and the fourteen days of hurricane-force wind that stripped a ship of everything but the promise of God. You'll follow Luke's remarkably detailed account from Caesarea to Malta, see why the centurion trusted the sailors over the apostle, and watch a prisoner in chains become the calmest man on board — breaking bread and giving thanks while 276 souls brace for the end. Four lessons come out of the wreckage: storms sometimes come when we disobey the will of God, storms have a way of revealing character, even the worst storms cannot prevent the purposes of God, and storms can give us opportunities to serve others and witness for Jesus Christ. Whatever you are sailing through, there is an anchor for your soul. Scripture referenced: Acts 27:1-3; Philippians 4:3; Acts 27:5-44

I read Dr. Gertrude Lyons' book Rewrite the Mother Code and immediately wanted to get everyone in a room and talk about it. She's a maternal identity expert with a doctorate, nearly three decades of coaching, and a worldview that breaks motherhood wide open: motherhood isn't a role, it's a creative force. It shows up in your business, your relationships, your dreams, and most importantly in how you mother yourself. In this conversation we get into why almost every mom loses herself at some point (including the ones with degrees in this exact subject), why self-doubt is the number one obstacle moms name, and what it takes to actually come back. You'll hear: Why you're already mothering, whether or not you have children The catalysts that reliably knock moms off track, and why drifting is the assignment rather than the failure Where the erosion of self-trust actually comes from, and how we got cut off from our own intuition The $100 answer that fixed my daughter's year of stomach pain after a doctor said girls are just dramatic Why the truth is an act of kindness, and how "keeping the peace" costs us more than we realize The say-no assignment, and why not explaining yourself is the hard part "He knows he's enough and I know I'm not too much," and why so many moms think they have to earn the right to just be The conversation my thirteen-year-old started with me, and what it proved about doing the inner work This is for any mom who has quietly wondered where she went, and whether it's too late to go get herself.

African Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are sometimes overlooked in global debates that tend to be dominated by the Pacific and the Caribbean. Yet across Africa's island states, substantial advances are being made in terms of regional collaboration, good governance, sustainable development, climate resilience and cultural protection. At the same time, the region faces distinctive challenges: vast distances separate African SIDS and their critical mass is limited relative to counterparts elsewhere. In this episode, Emily and Matt are joined by Stefano Moncada from the University of Malta to speak to panel of experts – Paul Akiwumi from Ghana, Penda Choppy from Seychelles, Ramola Ramtohul from Mauritius, and Antonio Palazuelos Prieto from Cape Verde – about the exciting developments that are happening across African SIDS. They explore what is going on across the continent and why African island development matters to the wider story of small islands, highlighting lessons, successes and insights that can inform resilience and development efforts across the global community of islands.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads head into deep space for Project Hail Mary — a Ryan Gosling-led Andy Weir adaptation about astrophage, reluctant heroism, alien engineering, musical communication and the most loveable rock-spider in modern sci-fi.What we coveredThe return to Podcast Mountain after a week off, with Sidey explaining why recent recording plans went slightly sideways.Sidey and Reegs seeing The Streets at Alexandra Palace, immediately considering Iceland, and generally having a far better time than Sidey later had in Malta.Malta being very hot, not especially relaxing, and a strong avoid unless you are on the picturesque ferry to Gozo.Family hotel movie nights, including a MonsterVerse run and the crushing parental disappointment of Raiders of the Lost Ark being switched off for being boring.Ryan Gosling news from Comic-Con, including Ghost Rider, Star Wars, and whether anyone can make Ghost Rider look good on screen.Gosling's range: Only God Forgives, Lars and the Real Girl, The Gray Man, blockbuster charm and oddball credibility.Andy Weir, The Martian, and why the dads respond to optimistic science-problem movies where clever people solve practical disasters.The central crisis: astrophage is eating the Sun's energy, reducing solar output and threatening Earth.The Hail Mary mission as humanity's last desperate throw, sent to Tau Ceti because that system appears mysteriously resistant to the astrophage problem.Ryland Grace waking from stasis with no memory, dead crewmates, a HAL-like computer and a beard that suggests deep-space personal care needs work.The flashbacks revealing Grace as a molecular biologist turned school teacher recruited by Eva Stratt to help understand astrophage.The moral ugliness of Grace not volunteering for the suicide mission, then being sedated and sent anyway after the intended crew are killed.The grim Earthside stakes: collapsing sunlight, food-chain panic, frightened children and governments handing Stratt extraordinary power.First contact with Rocky, the engineer from Erid whose own planet is facing the same astrophage disaster.Rocky's musical language, the translation process, and the dads' comparison with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.The two-ship friendship: different atmospheres, pressure barriers, xenonite tunnels and two scientists learning to trust each other through diagrams and experiments.Rocky's look: rock-like, spider-like, toy-like and somehow instantly endearing.The discovery of taumoeba, the organism that eats astrophage and offers a possible solution for both Earth and Erid.Rocky saving Grace at huge personal risk, then Grace choosing to use his remaining fuel to save Rocky when he realises Rocky's ship is in danger.The film's optimistic message: cooperation across species, cultures and worlds is the only thing that saves anyone.Grace ending up on Erid, teaching alien children about Earth, and the dads enjoying the full-circle return to teaching.The reported $200 million budget, worldwide box office heading toward $700 million, UK-built Hail Mary sets, and Gosling's likely “double bubble” as star and producer.Key moments / quotesSidey says “hopes were high for Project Hail Mary” because of the Gosling/Andy Weir pedigree.Dan explains the title through American football: the last desperate throw into the end zone.The dads note that Grace “didn't fucking volunteer”, which makes Earth's plan morally spicy even if the stakes are existential.Rocky's musical tones immediately bring Close Encounters to mind.The group enjoy the idea of a sci-fi film built around “scientist guy figuring shit out”.Cris appreciates that the film is warmer and more colourful than the bleaker spaceship sci-fi he usually struggles with.Sidey reads the Grace/Rocky relationship as a story about different worlds working together on the same problem.Cris highlights the happy ending, the little rock children and the satisfying “don't go back / actually he should go back” emotional turn.Sidey notes the film has done serious box office business against a huge production budget.The final verdict lands simply: “Strong? Strong. Strong. Yeah. Strong.”VerdictThe dads give Project Hail Mary a unanimous strong recommend. They respond to the Andy Weir problem-solving structure, Ryan Gosling's easy likeability, the film's optimistic tone, and especially Rocky — an alien sidekick/friend/co-scientist who turns the film from simple survival story into something warmer and more memorable.It is big-budget, accessible sci-fi with a hopeful streak: funny, emotional, smart enough to feel satisfying, and powered by the very Bad Dads-friendly idea that cooperation beats panic, even when the Sun is being eaten.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes back special Guest Author, Academic, Archeologist Mark Olly Date: July 28th, 2026 EP: 750 DISCUSSION: LOST to HISTORY: Rome's Missing Legion. We will be revisiting a popular Outer Realm Segment from the “way back file” Mark's book "The Disappearing Ninth Legion: A Popular History." This has been a topic of lore, books, and films for ages, but what really happened? Mark draws on actual historical and up to date archeological information of the real legion. Were they broken up and reassigned or do they still march the moorlands and streets of ancient Britain as a lot ghostly cursed army? Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ About Mark: Mark Olly was born in 1962 in Warrington, England, and educated at Appleton Hall County Grammar School, Warrington College of Art & Design, the University of Liverpool Institute of Extension Studies field archaeology unit, various business schools, and El-Shaddai College of Advanced Ministry U.K. Manchester where he obtained a Certificate of Ministry (Ct.Min.AP) and Diploma of Biblical Studies (Dip.BS.AP). For over 22 years he worked as a professional musician, live DJ, compare, and in music management, founding Angelharp Music, Unicorn Entertainments Agency Ltd. and Legendthink Ltd. (one of the first ‘multi-media' companies in the world) before moving on to pursue a solo career as a writer, archaeologist and television presenter. This career has so far taken him to all parts of the UK, France, Egypt, Norway, Italy, Bulgaria, Cyprus, South America, Turkey, Malta, and North Africa in search of the ancient and the mysterious. His hobbies include collecting antiques and geological specimens, Dark Age, Celtic and Medieval costumed re-enactment, staging occasional exhibitions and live events, public speaking, and investigating ancient sites.

About The Book: The Disappearing Ninth Legion puts this mysterious Roman legion firmly back on the historic map. A great deal of fiction and conjecture has appeared in books, films, and on the internet, but this book draws on actual historical and up-to-date archaeological information to paint a picture of the real legion as it was, its development, expansion, structure, assignments under the Caesars and the Roman Empire, its supposed disappearance from York, then further evidence for its survival in Europe, the East, and possibly even China, as the mighty world of the Romans gradually fell apart. Was the legion simply broken up and re-assigned or do they still march the moorlands and streets of Eastern Britain, a lost ghostly army cursed and vanquished by the Druids and Celts? It's all here written and presented in an easy and non-technical way by one of Britain's best up-and-coming story tellers and presenters.

What if the biggest threat to online gambling isn't addiction or bad odds—but an invisible criminal economy operating alongside the legal one? In this preview episode of Travis Makes Friends, Travis sits down with Ismail Vali, founder of Yield Sec and a global expert on online gambling markets, to reveal how the industry has evolved from a money-laundering target into a massive data business. Drawing on more than two decades of experience working with sportsbooks, poker platforms, regulators, and governments, Ismail explains why the online gambling market is far larger—and far more complicated—than most people realize. The conversation begins with an unforgettable story: Ismail arrives for a job interview in Malta only to watch the company's offices get raided by police before the interview even begins. That close call opens the door to a broader discussion about how organized crime has infiltrated online gambling, not just to move money, but to collect valuable consumer data that can fuel long-term criminal enterprises. Ismail also debunks one of the internet's biggest misconceptions: that a VPN is a foolproof way to access gambling sites anonymously. In reality, he explains, modern online betting depends on speed and real-time connectivity, making VPNs far less useful than many people believe. Instead, illegal operators increasingly rely on being discovered in plain sight—through search engines, social media, influencers, and online advertising—right alongside legitimate brands. Travis and Ismail explore why illegal gambling continues to thrive even as more countries and U.S. states regulate the industry. According to Ismail, consumers often don't distinguish between legal and illegal platforms because they appear in the same digital marketplace. While licensed operators follow strict rules around fairness, consumer protection, and responsible gambling, unregulated sites can ignore those safeguards entirely while still attracting millions of users. The discussion also highlights the surprising economic impact of properly regulated gambling. Ismail argues that when governments successfully police illegal operators, legal markets generate tax revenue that can fund schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and consumer protections—particularly in developing nations where every new source of revenue matters. The challenge isn't eliminating gambling altogether, he says, but ensuring that the money stays within regulated markets instead of flowing to criminal organizations. You'll also hear how Ismail's team uses large-scale behavioral data to estimate global wagering, why he believes the online gambling market exceeds $5.9 trillion annually, and how his predictions for events like the Super Bowl have come remarkably close to the official numbers. If you've ever assumed online gambling is simply a choice between different betting apps, this preview offers a fascinating look at the hidden marketplace operating beneath the surface—and why understanding the difference between legal and illegal platforms matters more than ever. Hit play to hear why the future of online gambling may depend less on technology and more on transparency, enforcement, and consumer awareness.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-0727db.mp3 Listen to Bible reading Through My Bible Yr 03 – July 27 Acts 28 Safe on Malta 1 Once we were safely on shore, we learned that the island was called Malta. 2 The natives showed us extraordinary kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all, because it had started to rain and was cold. 3 As Paul gathered a bundle of sticks and laid it on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand. 4 When the natives saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he escaped from the sea, Justice [1] has not allowed him to live.” 5 However, Paul shook the snake off into the fire and was not harmed. 6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had waited for a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god. 7 In the nearby vicinity was an estate that belonged to a man named Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us and entertained us hospitably as his guests for three days. 8 The father of Publius happened to be sick in bed, suffering from a fever and dysentery. Paul went to him, prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him. 9 After that happened, others on the island who were sick also came and were healed. 10 They honored us in many ways, and when we were going to sail, they put on board whatever we needed. On to Rome 11 After three months, we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island. Its figurehead was the Twin Brothers. [2] 12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days. 13 From there we sailed up the coast and arrived at Rhegium. After one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli. 14 There we found some brothers [3] and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome. 15 The brothers there heard the news about us and came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and was encouraged.

New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Contact, Channeling, and the Human Story of Disclosure Alan Steinfeld speaks with Jess Herman about childhood contact memories, hybrid-program experiences, channeling the Vagrions, multidimensional identity, and how disclosure may expand humanity's understanding of consciousness. Guest Spotlight: Jess Herman Jess Herman is a channel, contactee, and creator connected with the channeled collective she identifies as the Vagrions. In this conversation, she shares deeply personal accounts of childhood contact memories, psychic abilities, hybrid-program experiences, channeling, pranic healing, and her mission to help people move toward unity consciousness, radical self-acceptance, and trust in their own joy. Consciousness, Contact, and the Beginning of Jess's Story In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld introduces the program as an exploration of consciousness, UFO phenomena, contactees, and the possibility that contact itself may be part of human evolution. He welcomes Jess Herman, describing her as one of his favorite people and noting that she channels the Vagrions while also appearing to have contactee experiences. Jess begins by explaining that she does not remember a childhood before contact. Her parents framed her early experiences as vivid dreams, but she now sees them as something more structured, recurring, and unusual. Childhood Experiences, Psychic Training, and the Grays Jess describes childhood memories in Montreal where time seemed to slow, the street outside her window became strangely still, and she would later find herself in sterile, hospital-like environments with other children. She compares some of these memories to later depictions in shows such as Stranger Things, especially scenes involving children practicing psychic abilities. Jess says the experiences felt organized, like a program with structure and purpose, and recalls being around other children as well as beings she identifies as grays. She explains that memories of medical-style procedures were frightening, partly because of the coldness and lack of emotional interaction she felt from the beings involved. Hybrid Children, Pregnancy Loss, and Psychic Disclosure A major part of the conversation centers on Jess's belief that she was involved in a hybrid program. She describes experiences beginning around age sixteen and later connects them to pregnancies, miscarriages, and what she believes were hybrid children or beings connected to her. Jess recounts one pregnancy that medically appeared to be developing before the fetus was no longer found, and another pregnancy involving twins in which one baby later disappeared. She says she was psychically informed that her body had been used as part of a program, that she had “signed up” for this work, and that the beings involved later allowed her to step away from the hybrid-program role. Channeling the Vagrions and the Mission of Self-Acceptance Jess explains that channeling came naturally to her, as though it was something she already knew how to do. She connects this ease with earlier training, psychic ability, and healing experiences, including her discovery of pranic healing. Her mission with the Vagrions is described as sharing messages of unity consciousness and radical self-acceptance. Jess says the Vagrions emphasize following joy, trusting the self, appreciating each person's unique individuation, and dissolving insecurity around worthiness and love. In her view, if enough people stepped into their power and made more fulfilling choices, many of the world's problems could shift within a generation. Multidimensional Identity, ET Contact, and the Nature of Reality Alan and Jess explore contact through a broader metaphysical lens, discussing starseeds, Arcturian and Pleiadian connections, mantis beings, nonverbal autistic children, telepathy, parallel dimensions, and the idea that people may exist simultaneously in more than one form or realm. Jess describes herself as having interactions that feel like going to a ship, waiting in a room, and meeting with beings in a corporate or boardroom-like setting. She also shares missing-time experiences, including one while driving near Lake Placid and another in Malta near ancient cart tracks. These stories become part of a larger discussion about how the self may exist both inside time and outside it, with the physical body understood as one expression of a much larger essence. Disclosure, Creation, and Learning to Stay Calm Around Contact The conversation eventually turns toward the historical moment of disclosure and the possibility that humanity is meeting the unknown in a new way. Jess and Alan discuss how alien contact, consciousness, time, physicality, creativity, and manifestation may all be part of the same unfolding story. Jess emphasizes that creation does not have to be a struggle, and that people are already creating reality through their perspective and assumptions. She also advises listeners who want more contact experiences to become emotionally steady around the subject, because fear or overexcitement may signal that a person is not yet ready for deeper interaction. Jess's Work, Website, and Closing Connection Near the close, Jess points listeners to JPHerman.com, her YouTube material, and her podcast Some Kind of Mystic, where she interviews channels, healers, and spiritually focused guests. Alan and Jess reflect on their immediate sense of recognition and connection, framing it as part of the larger contactee and consciousness field they have been discussing. Alan thanks Jess for her insights, her dedication, and her contribution to human evolution, while the program closes with a poetic musical outro reflecting the episode's themes of mystery, contact, trauma, consciousness, and the future of human understanding.

We'll be covering the famously terrible 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in a livestream later this year, but we thought we ought to cover the second place winner (and Oscar's favorite!), 1991's ESC at Cinecittà in Rome. And since we couldn't keep this many mediocre ballads to ourselves, joining us for this highly dysfunctional edition of Eurovision is the hilarious writer & comedian Corin Wells.

When Ambassador Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley first proposed a Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer role at the State Department, the response from HR was polite and dismissive. Years later, she came back and got the job done — on her own terms, with her own budget, her own staff, and a seat on the committee that assigns ambassadors. What she found when she got inside was not what most people assume. Dr. Joy sits down with Ambassador Abercrombie-Winstanley — thirty-year diplomat, former US Ambassador to Malta, and the State Department's first-ever CDIO — to talk about what DEI was designed to do, what it was never meant to be, and why so much of the backlash against it is built on a misreading. They get into the mechanics of how people really get hired and promoted in elite institutions — the secret handshakes, the drug deals, the posted job that was never really open — and what it looked like when the Ambassador's office forced those positions into open competition. She also talks about the psychological toll of watching allies flip overnight once the political climate shifted, what she believes is still happening inside organizations even now, and how she's thinking about the pendulum — not to minimize this moment, but to prepare for what comes next. The conversation closes with some of the most specific career advice the show has offered: how to run your elevator pitch until it flows, when to reach out to someone on LinkedIn and what to say, and why she tells the people she mentors to bring their best self to work, not just their authentic one.
