Podcasts about Malta

Influenced by Kevin who was the first person to go on holidays to Malta ever, PJ took a trip there recently with his friend Layla who had her clit out on a catamaran and PJ tells us all about it. Then, prompted by the chaotic American Eagle campaign with Sydney Sweeney and the even more ridiculous ELF campaign with Matt Rife the lads talk about the weird, wonderful and woeful world of advertising. They go through some copy lines and decide whether they are real ads or simply fads and recall their favourite jingles from adverts back in the day; WiMAX man you will always be famous.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

De cryptomarkt heeft het lastig deze week. Bitcoin schommelt rond de 113.000 dollar en dat is duidelijk lager dan de recordstanden van twee weken geleden, toen de koers nog 124.000 dollar aantikte. Daarmee heerst er een sfeer van onzekerheid. Toch zijn er altcoins die beter presteren. Ethereum houdt al weken een sterke lijn vast en noteert rond de 4.600 dollar, dichtbij het oude koersrecord. Solana valt eveneens op met een stijging van dertien procent tot 210 dollar. De markt balanceert zo tussen hoop op nieuwe records en vrees voor een verdere terugval. Tegen deze achtergrond liet Google nieuwe plannen zien om de cryptowereld binnen te stappen. Het bedrijf presenteerde Google Cloud’s Universal Ledger, een blockchainplatform dat in 2026 operationeel moet zijn. Het platform is gericht op financiële instellingen die toepassingen willen ontwikkelen met cryptotechnologie. Denk daarbij aan de uitgifte van stablecoins of het tokeniseren van financiële assets, waarbij eigendomsrechten en waardepapieren via de blockchain beheerd kunnen worden. Google richt zich nadrukkelijk niet op consumenten, maar positioneert het platform als infrastructuur voor banken, fintechs en andere bedrijven. Volgens Google is het onderscheidend vermogen van het Universal Ledger dat het een neutraal alternatief wil bieden. Waar bedrijven als Stripe en Circle hun eigen commerciële belangen hebben, zegt Google niet gebonden te zijn aan de financiële wereld. Daarmee hoopt het concern een breed scala aan klanten aan te trekken. Bovendien beschikt Google over een groot voordeel: de bestaande gebruikersbasis van Google Cloud, waar de blockchain-diensten eenvoudig aan toegevoegd kunnen worden. Toch blijven er volop alternatieven bestaan, van publieke netwerken als Ethereum en Solana tot infrastructuur van andere grote fintechs. Solana zelf komt ondertussen met een opvallende uitbreiding richting hardware. Het bedrijf Play Solana, los van de officiële Solana Foundation, kondigde een eigen gamingconsole aan: de PSG1. Dit apparaat doet qua uiterlijk denken aan de klassieke handheld-consoles, maar heeft ingebouwde functies voor cryptowallets en Web3-toepassingen. Het succes van de PSG1 hangt voor een groot deel af van de beschikbaarheid van spellen. Een groot ecosysteem van ontwikkelaars ontbreekt vooralsnog, maar bij de aanschaf van de console krijgen kopers gratis cryptomunten, wat voor extra belangstelling zorgt. Daar blijft het niet bij, want ook de tweede Solana-smartphone, de Seeker, is inmiddels uitgeleverd. Deze midrange-telefoon kost ongeveer 500 euro en trok vooral kopers door de belofte van gratis tokens, voornamelijk memecoins. Daarmee weet Solana zich te onderscheiden als een van de weinige cryptoprojecten die ook hardwareproducten ontwikkelt. Voorlopig lijkt het succes van de apparaten vooral samen te hangen met de waarde van de extra crypto die bij aanschaf wordt meegeleverd. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Jasper Bets van de Autoriteit Financiële Markten. De AFM is toezichthouder op de cryptosector sinds de introductie van de Europese cryptowet MICAR, en samen met Bert Slagter blikken we terug op het uitdelen van de eerste vergunningen. Daar ging een hoop goed, maar ook wat dingen fout. En we kijken naar de rest van Europa, want in andere landen, zoals Malta, zitten toezichthouders die wat minder streng zijn... En die bedrijven mogen nu wél op de Nederlandse markt opereren. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Esta semana, vai partir para a Faixa de Gaza uma Flotilha Humanitária com ajuda para a população palestiniana, transportada em dezenas de barcos que vão tentar quebrar o cerco israelita. Delegações de mais de 40 países integram a missão e há três portugueses. O activista Miguel Duarte é um deles e explica que esta é uma “mobilização sem precedentes” e “a maior tentativa de sempre para desafiar o bloqueio ilegal sobre o povo palestiniano em Gaza”. Apesar dos riscos, Miguel Duarte tem esperança que a ajuda humanitária chegue ao destino e defende que “é preciso que a sociedade civil se levante”, senão “ninguém o fará”. Esta é uma missão que junta dezenas de embarcações e delegações de mais de 40 países. O objectivo é levar ajuda humanitária para a Faixa de Gaza e tentar quebrar o cerco israelita que impede a chegada de alimentação e medicamentos. A ONU alertou, na semana passada, que mais de meio milhão de pessoas em Gaza estão a passar fome. Três portugueses integram a Flotilha Humanitária: o activista Miguel Duarte, experiente em missões de resgate de pessoas no Mar Mediterrâneo, a deputada do Bloco de Esquerda Mariana Mortágua e a actriz Sofia Aparício. Em entrevista à RFI, Miguel Duarte disse que se está num “momento histórico”, que esta “é uma mobilização sem precedentes” e “a maior tentativa de sempre para desafiar o bloqueio ilegal sobre o povo palestiniano em Gaza”. Já houve outras frotas rumo a Gaza, mas a maior parte foi interceptada pelo exército israelita. Foi o caso, a 8 de Junho, com o navio Madleen, mas também com o navio Handala, a 27 de Julho. Por outro lado, no início de Maio, activistas que transportavam ajuda humanitária para Gaza foram atacados ao largo de Malta, em águas internacionais, e acusaram Israel. Graças à escala da missão, com delegações de mais de 40 países e dezenas de barcos que levam medicamentos e comida, o activista acredita que a atenção internacional possa impedir que o exército israelita trave a flotilha humanitária, pelo que tem esperança que a ajuda chegue realmente a Gaza. Miguel Duarte acrescenta que informou o Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros e que este tem “a responsabilidade moral de garantir a segurança” da tripulação e da ajuda humanitária. Por outro lado, o activista considera que Portugal deveria avançar com um corte de relações diplomáticas e comerciais com Israel, aplicar sanções e acabar com contratos com empresas de armamento israelitas. Experiente em missões de resgate de migrantes no mar Mediterrâneo, Miguel Duarte diz que o que o leva a Gaza é o mesmo que o levou ao Mediterrâneo: a necessidade das pessoas. Nesse sentido, acredita que “é preciso que a sociedade civil se levante”, senão “ninguém o fará”.   Miguel Duarte: “É a maior tentativa de sempre para desafiar bloqueio ilegal sobre o povo palestiniano em Gaza”   RFI: Qual é o objectivo desta missão? Miguel Duarte, activista: “O objectivo desta missão é trazer ajuda humanitária para Gaza. Neste momento, há um bloqueio ilegal por parte das forças israelitas imposto sobre o povo de Gaza. Sabemos todos que está a decorrer um genocídio e uma fome imposta pelas forças israelitas ao povo de Gaza. O objectivo desta missão, como de tantas outras anteriores, é o de desafiar este bloqueio ilegal e trazer esta ajuda humanitária que é tão necessária e tão urgente para estas pessoas.” O que é que diferencia esta missão das anteriores? “A principal diferença é a escala. Ou seja, já existem missões deste género desde 2008, se não estou em erro. Já muitos barcos e navios tentaram desafiar este cerco. Algumas conseguiram, mas a maior parte, a esmagadora maioria das flotilhas foram bloqueadas e ilegalmente capturadas pelo exército israelita. O que diferencia esta é a escala. Neste momento, estão a ser organizadas delegações de mais de 40 países em dezenas de barcos, portanto, certamente, pelo menos centenas de pessoas vão estar envolvidas. Vão partir barcos de vários pontos da Europa. Eu, neste momento, estou em Barcelona e a minha delegação vai partir daqui. Só de Barcelona vão partir mais de 30 barcos e, portanto, a atenção sobre esta missão espera-se que seja a maior de sempre e é a maior tentativa de sempre para desafiar este bloqueio ilegal sobre o povo palestiniano em Gaza.” Houve várias frotas que até agora falharam, que não conseguiram chegar a Gaza e levar a ajuda. A última delas, por exemplo, foi interceptada pelo exército israelita a 27 de julho. Quais são as perspectivas que tem para esta missão e como é que a encara? Não tem medo de ser detido e deportado? “Medo tenho, acho que todos temos, na verdade, porque basta olhar para a história recente deste movimento e vemos rapidamente várias intercepções por parte das forças israelitas que foram extremamente violentas. Em 2008, um barco das forças israelitas foi arremessado contra uma das flotilhas. Em 2010, dez membros da tripulação foram assassinados pelas forças israelitas e, ainda este ano, dois drones bombardearam um dos navios. Portanto, os riscos são altos. Ou seja, nós estamos aqui não é porque não temos medo, porque certamente temos e os riscos existem, estamos aqui porque é necessário e porque é absolutamente fundamental que a sociedade civil esteja em solidariedade, a sociedade civil global, em solidariedade com o povo da Palestina. No entanto, tenho esperança que esta missão tenha sucesso precisamente porque é uma mobilização sem precedentes. Ou seja, eu diria que estamos num momento histórico no que toca a este movimento e as centenas de pessoas que estão envolvidas directamente - que estão aqui neste momento ou que estão a embarcar noutros sítios da Europa e do Norte de África - estão longe de ser o movimento, ou seja, o movimento consiste em milhares e milhares e milhares de pessoas pelo mundo inteiro que se estão a mobilizar não só para organizar a partida destes barcos específicos, mas a organizar-se para mobilizar manifestações, boicotes e outros tipos de acções que ponham tanta pressão quanto possível sobre as forças israelitas. Portanto, tenho esperança que isto tenha sucesso.” É com essa mobilização mundial e a força do número de participantes que pretendem quebrar o cerco de Israel sobre Gaza? Como é que tencionam quebrar esse cerco? “A tentativa ou o que vamos tentar fazer é levar dezenas e dezenas de barcos e trazer muita atenção sobre estes barcos, portanto, quanto mais olhos melhor, pelo mundo fora, para que seja tão difícil quanto possível para as forças israelitas fazerem uma intercepção ilegal e violenta destes tripulantes. É isso que vamos tentar. Tenho a sensação que vamos conseguir, havemos de chegar a Gaza e havemos de entregar esta ajuda humanitária.” Que ajuda levam nas dezenas de barcos? “São bens de primeira necessidade que consideramos serem as coisas mais urgentes. Certamente o povo palestiniano de Gaza precisa de muito mais do que aquilo que nós conseguimos trazer, mas aquilo que consideramos mais urgente são essencialmente medicamentos e comida. Todas estas coisas não conseguem entrar em Gaza neste momento, portanto, as necessidades são absolutas e é isso que vamos trazer essencialmente.” Mais a mensagem, não é? “Mais a mensagem, absolutamente, sim. Precisamos de mobilizações pelo mundo inteiro. Precisamos de apoio não só para a nossa própria protecção e para a protecção da ajuda humanitária, mas porque o objectivo desta missão desafiar o cerco, é acabar com o cerco, é acabar com o genocídio, acabar com a fome, acabar com a ocupação e libertar o povo de Gaza.” O facto de ser uma missão tão falada, com uma tão grande dimensão, por outro lado, não poderá criar expectativas na população de Gaza que possam sair goradas? De certa forma, não poderá ainda ser mais doloroso para os palestinianos que estão à vossa espera, se vocês não conseguirem? “Eu não excluo essa hipótese, mas nós e os palestinianos não somos simplesmente grupos separados. Existem muitos palestinianos envolvidos nesta acção. Isto é feito em solidariedade e em conjunto com o movimento de pessoas palestinianas que lutam todos os dias, há muitos anos, pela libertação do povo palestiniano. Acho que as pessoas na Palestina compreendem certamente que isto é mais uma demonstração de solidariedade e que é uma luta contra uma força que é muito maior do que nós, que é um poder colonial e que tem por trás de si o maior exército da história da humanidade, que é o exército dos Estados Unidos. Portanto, as dificuldades são muitas e acho que todas as pessoas palestinianas compreendem isso. Mas se as nossas acções contribuírem para restaurar algum tipo de esperança, nem que seja um bocadinho, ao povo palestiniano, então penso que isso seja uma coisa boa.” Informaram o Governo português sobre a vossa missão? Se sim, o que é que esperam que ele faça? “Informámos sim. Informámos o Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros e ainda não obtive uma resposta. O que é que esperamos? Acho que vou responder a essa pergunta em dois níveis: um imediato e pessoal. Acho que o Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros e, mais em geral, o Estado português tem a responsabilidade moral de garantir a nossa segurança, dos tripulantes, bem como a segurança da ajuda humanitária que é absolutamente urgente que chegue a Gaza. De uma forma mais abrangente, era preciso que o Estado português fizesse aquilo que já devia ter feito há muito tempo. É preciso frisar que não é um problema deste Governo, é um problema de sucessivos governos portugueses. É absolutamente urgente fazer um corte de relações diplomáticas e comerciais com Israel, é preciso aplicar sanções e é preciso acabar absolutamente com contratos vergonhosos que as Forças Armadas portuguesas têm com empresas de armamento israelitas que estão neste momento a conduzir o genocídio em Gaza. Tudo isto se fosse ontem, já era tarde.” O Miguel Duarte já tem um histórico de participação em navios de missões humanitárias, nomeadamente no resgate de migrantes no Mediterrâneo. Chegou a ser indiciado pelo crime de auxílio à emigração ilegal por tentar salvar vidas. Agora arrisca-se numa nova missão. O que é que o move e como é que olha para a forma como a comunidade internacional, nomeadamente a parte política, está a lidar com o que se passa em Gaza? “O que me traz a Gaza ou que me traz a esta missão foi o que me trouxe ao Mediterrâneo tantas vezes. A necessidade é enorme. Os nossos Estados não nos representam, portanto, aquilo que está a acontecer no Mediterrâneo hoje em dia é da mesma escala do que está a acontecer em Gaza. Já morreram mais de 30.000 pessoas no Mediterrâneo nos últimos dez anos. Já morreram outras dezenas de milhares de pessoas em Gaza ao longo dos últimos anos. E os Estados são os mesmos, as forças politicas são as mesmas e é preciso, por causa desta absoluta violência por parte dos Estados, nomeadamente ocidentais, europeus, Israel e os Estados Unidos, é preciso que a sociedade civil se levante, porque se nós não o fizermos, ninguém o fará. Eu, em particular, tenho experiência no mar e, portanto, sei estar num navio e tenho algum conhecimento sobre este tipo de missão. Pensei que estava numa posição privilegiada para fazer alguma coisa e aceitei o convite de me juntar a esta flotilha. É por isso que sinto que este é o meu lugar aqui. Mais uma vez, não é porque não existam riscos ou porque não acredito neles. É porque a necessidade é enorme."

De AFM heeft de eerste maanden met MiCAR achter de rug. Voor het eerst moest de toezichthouder een compleet nieuw veld reguleren, en dat bracht uitdagingen met zich mee. Het vergunningsproces voor cryptobedrijven kende een hoge dynamiek, met aanvragen in verschillende stadia en een veelheid aan aanvullende wetgeving die gaandeweg van kracht werd. Uiteindelijk zijn er nu veertien partijen met een vergunning, waaronder Bitvavo, BTC Direct en Amdax. Toch valt op dat er nog een aantal bedrijven ontbreken. Sommige aanvragen werden afgewezen, anderen zitten nog steeds in de procedure. Formeel opereren partijen zonder vergunning inmiddels illegaal, al verleent de AFM maatwerk aan bedrijven die aantoonbaar ver in het proces zitten. De vraag blijft hoe lang dit nog gedoogd wordt. Voor de AFM zelf betekende MiCAR een forse uitbreiding van de capaciteit: het team groeide van een handvol medewerkers naar inmiddels twintig collega’s. Daarbij is het toezicht uitdagend omdat de wetgeving nog niet volledig is uitgewerkt. Nieuwe richtlijnen en aanpassingen blijven binnenstromen, waardoor vergunningverlening en toezicht voortdurend in beweging zijn. Ook de Europese verschillen zijn groot. In sommige landen gingen toezichthouders voortvarend te werk, terwijl andere nog zoekende zijn. Nederland schaart zich bij de strengere landen, samen met Luxemburg, Duitsland en Frankrijk. Malta geldt als veel losser. In dat speelveld is de vraag hoe ver de AFM kan en wil gaan bij partijen die zich in andere landen vestigen maar in Nederland actief zijn. Voor de sector zelf betekende MiCAR dat dossiers breder moesten worden aangepakt dan verwacht. Regelgeving zoals DORA werd halverwege alsnog toegevoegd. Toch ziet de AFM het niet als goldplating: de bedoeling is vooral om de markt in lijn met Europese kaders te krijgen. Tegelijk liggen er al nieuwe vragen klaar, zoals de omgang met DeFi, staking en lending, die buiten MiCAR vallen maar wel steeds belangrijker worden. Ook komt er dit jaar een evaluatie van MiCAR 2, waarmee opnieuw bekeken wordt of de wet aansluit bij de praktijk.

David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer – a trailer he referred to as his “toy box”.HOUR ONE: David Parker Ray is believed to have tortured and killed more than 50 women inside his soundproof trailer. A trailer he referred to as his “toy box”. (The Toy Box Killer) *** Two friends sipping soda and playing pool find the green table stained blood red, with no warning whatsoever. (Murder At The Pool Table) *** Malta, Italy is known for its splendid ruins, historical monuments, and ancient sites, but one of these places stands out; a mysterious underground complex that holds with in it many enigmas and oddities that remain unsolved to this day. (Malta's Cryptic Catacombs) *** Weirdo family member Robert Foster tells of a creepy incident that happened to him while working security at an army depot in Oregon. (The Phantom Truck) *** Imagine opening up the newspaper and reading this paragraph: “If anyone doubts this story in the least… they are reliable men who would under no circumstances lend their names to an untruth.” Newspapers just do not stand by their sources this unwaveringly, at least not anymore… and especially if the subject of the article is a haunted house. (The Ghost Told Them To Move)==========HOUR TWO: When you think of human sacrifice, you might picture Aztec or Mayan ceremonies, or maybe a Satanic cult standing in a pentagram with a naked woman on an altar – possibly even a volunteer. Personally, I picture Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. While civilizations and groups such as these certainly did (and maybe still do) their share of brutal sacrificing, they are by no means the only ones that conducted death rituals. Some will most certainly surprise, and possibly disturb, you. (Sadistic Sacrificing of Souls) *** A shadow person is a humanoid figure that you perceive in a patch of shadow. Some believe that they are supernatural spirits or extra-dimensional beings. What are they? Paranormal researchers have a theory, neuroscientists have another theory. (Contact With a Shadow Man) *** An astronomy professor says we should begin focusing on space archaeology – starting with our own moon. Why? Well, he believes E.T. might have left a clue there of his existence. (Extraterrestrial Evidence on the Moon) *** Thousands of years ago, people were performing a form of surgery that involved boring holes through a person's skull. Why on earth would they do such a thing? (Trepanation: I Need That Like Another Hole In The Head) *** What Does It Mean To Dream About Aliens?==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: What if we were to discover there were aliens still living on the moon – and they were meddling in our affairs? How would you feel about that? Should extraterrestrials interfere in human affairs if they can help our society, or should we refuse that kind of leap in technology and medicine? (Should Aliens Interfere With Earthly Affairs?) *** Those who work nights are already in the creepy position of working what is called the “graveyard shift” - so you have to expect something to go wrong.

This week, Mike and Laureen break down the latest headlines shaping the conversation around Israel and the Middle East. They examine the Democratic Socialists of America's 2025 national convention and the passing of a resolution on the Palestinian “right of return.” The hosts explore whether Western journalists should be allowed into Gaza to report freely and uncover the real story behind Anas Al-Sharif — presented by some as an Al Jazeera journalist but revealed to be a Hamas commander. British journalist Melanie Phillips weighs in on the false narrative that Palestinians are the indigenous people of Israel, while Mike and Laureen analyze recent moves by Australia, the UK, France, Malta, Canada, Portugal, Germany and Bahrain to formally recognize “Palestine.” Finally, they review author and journalist Matti Friedman's sharp critique of the Associated Press and its disproportionate coverage of Israel, which often casts Israel as the aggressor while downplaying the broader regional hostility it faces.

In our first story, From a childhood crush to a series of unexpected turns, Aunvada Being shares her story following her lifelong journey of self-discovery and the difficult choices she made along the way. Listen to Aunvada as she navigates societal expectations, personal struggles, and ultimately, finds her true self amidst unforeseen losses. Aunvada calls her story “Skittles”. photo: kmr studios Aunvada Being. Aunvada was blessed with a creative Western spirit. She was born in and has lived in Montana for 35 of her 37 years. She is keenly aware of the vast history of all the lands we walk and is deeply grateful to walk them.  She picked magical Missoula as her home after spending a year living off grid near the Garden of the Gods in Colorado. In our next story, Jilnar Mansour, a Lebanese American volunteer in the volatile heart of a Palestinian refugee camp, confronts the harrowing realities of a strict curfew set by the Israeli Defense Forces. Amidst chaos and desperation, she recounts an extraordinary act of quick thinking and unexpected alliance, leading to a moment where vulnerability became a powerful tool for survival. Listen to Jilnar share the difficult choices that she made, and the blurred lines of impact versus intention in a story that she calls “Who Made Your Breakfast?” photo: kmr studios Jilnar Mansour is a person who creates spaces for all to be loved and heard in order to stop generational violence. Jilnar is the daughter of an immigrant.  She is a survivor. Jilnar stands for love. Steve Schmidt is a rookie police officer in Kansas City in 1997. Steve responds to a seemingly routine recovered property call that quickly escalates into a tense and dangerous encounter of a burglary in progress. What unfolds is a story of split-second decisions, unexpected revelations, and a profound moment that would forever shape his understanding of duty, perception, and the weight of a single choice. Steve calls his story “Get Down On The Ground.  Do It Now!” photo: kmr studios Steve Schmidt, also known as Schmidty was born in the small-town of Malta, Montana. Schmidty is dedicated to positive change. With eight years’ experience as a police officer in Kansas City, Schmidty has developed strong skills in law enforcement and community engagement, all while connecting with thousands of fans as a professional mascot. Now based here in Missoula, Schmidty leads Drive Safe Missoula, a traffic safety initiative within Missoula Public Health that’s focused on saving lives through education. His expertise extends nationally, where he speaks on influencing behavior and leveraging AI for road safety and public health. What begins as an unlikely friendship for Lauren Tobias with a free-spirited dog on The Fort Peck Reservation in northeastern Montana takes a heartbreaking turn when the dog mysteriously disappears. Days of agonizing searching lead to a devastating discovery, a poignant makeshift funeral, and an outpouring of community support. But just as grief settles in, a shocking revelation sends everything spiraling into an unbelievable twist. Lauren calls her story “Off Leash”. Photo: kmr studios

Julie Decker is the director and CEO of the Anchorage Museum. But before that she practiced as an artist and ran her own art gallery. Since then she's fostered a belief in the power of museums to spark action — whether that means picking up a paintbrush, reading a new book, or seeing the world differently. Her connection to the Anchorage Museum runs back to childhood, when it was little more than a single room with a borrowed collection. Her dad was a visual artist and an art teacher; he was her earliest and most influential guide into that world. He taught her to be an observer — to notice the small things — and she watched as his own work appeared in solo shows and juried exhibitions at the museum. So, for Julie, the Anchorage Museum isn't just a workplace; it's been a constant presence in her life, shaping her sense of art, community and possibility. In the work she does now, Julie envisions the Anchorage Museum as less a keeper of artifacts and more of a living platform for Alaska's stories. It acts as a collaborator and a partner — a place that listens to communities, amplifies the voices of Alaskans and connects local narratives to global conversations. In her view, Alaska's relatively small population allows individual creativity and innovation to ripple widely, making it vital to highlight imaginative thinkers, cultural disruptors and non-Western ways of knowing. That means rethinking what it means to collect — not simply holding objects, but being a responsible host and steward of the stories they carry.  In Alaska, where the natural world shapes identity and guides daily life, the museum's role is to reflect how environmental change, Indigenous lifeways and community resilience intersect. Some projects take the form of exhibitions, others emerge as films, books, podcasts, newspaper series, or collaborations with musicians. Whether the work is local or part of an international conversation, Julie believes it must be rooted in place — fluid, adaptable and focused on a shared future that feels possible and inhabitable. In this Chatter Marks series, Cody and co-host Dr. Sandro Debono talk to museum directors and knowledge holders about what museums around the world are doing to adapt and react to climate change. Dr. Debono is a museum thinker from the Mediterranean island of Malta. He works with museums to help them strategize around possible futures.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, Pastor David continued our Acts Unchained series in Acts 28. After the storm, Paul and his crew found themselves on the island of Malta, where what they expected was very different from the reality God had in store. Through kindness from strangers, an unexpected snake bite, and moments of healing, God revealed that His plans are always greater than ours. Pastor David reminded us that when life doesn't meet our expectations, we can trust that God's reality is far better than we could imagine. Don't miss this powerful reminder to lean into God's bigger story.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.

The streets of Washington, DC will soon be patrolled by 800 National Guard troops, the city's police will be under federal control for the first time in their history, and homeless people will be forced to leave. According to President Trump, it's all necessary to tackle a purported wave of lawlessness. And while crime is certainly a problem in the capital, Trump's description of a public safety emergency told a slightly different story than the statistics. There's actually been a decrease in crime, with violent crime at a 30-year low. With Trump hinting that Washington is just the first city to face these measures, what does this say about his exertion of executive power? Andrew McCabe was the acting FBI Director in the first Trump administration, he joins the program to discuss.  Also on today's show: Victoria Fontan, Rector of the American University of Malta & Mumtaz Islamzay, Afghan Student; David A.

The European Court of Justice shocked RCBI industry earlier this year, with their ruling against Malta's popular CBI program. They appeared to call out golden visas at their core when compelling Malta to end theirs.  The ECJ accused the CBI program of essentially commercializing nationality (and by extension European Union citizenship). They called it "transactional," and lacked a "genuine link" to the country. In response, Malta has been tackling ideas of ways someone can formally prove themselves worthy of citizenship, without being accused of just performing a transaction.  How does one show a genuine link to a country they've fallen in love with, but were not born in? In what way does someone audition to be a citizen? And what kind of citizen does a nation need? Malta has been fast-tracking their Citizenship by Merit program with answers to these questions. Dr. James Muscat Azzopardi sits down with Mona and Rebecca to discuss what one will now have to do to become Maltese.

We're officially back for the 2025-26 Europa & Conference League campaigns, and as always, we're kicking things off with the 3rd qualifying rounds. The 1st legs were full of action, and we discuss some major upsets from old friends (Celje, Víkingur Reykjavík, AEK Larnaca), and new (Hibs, Shelbourne). Then we explore Cyrpus' remarkable European successes of late, why the Irish league is on the rise, if this is a breakout season for Scottish clubs, and speculate whether Malta is the next country to pop their cherry and qualify a team for European group stages for the very first time. We're also introduced to some clubs previously unfamiliar to us, including FC Polissya Zhytomyr, whose name we hopefully did not butchered to unreasonable degree. It feels good to be back – come hang! Cheers Joey O'Brien!

When last we met, Paul the Apostle, the crew, and the passengers had jumped overboard and made a swim for their life. And if you will remember, miraculously (and as God had promised), not a single person died. But once they got to shore, they still needed another miracle to save them. They had fought the currents. They had been inundated with with cold weather and bone chilling water. They were exhausted, and they were in need of help as they lay on the shore decimated by weather conditions, circumstances, and extreme measures that had been undertaken to stay alive. People on the island of Malta, found Paul, the crew, and the passengers, and with extraordinary kindess, they cared for them. They gave them shelter, clothing, food, and warmth around the fire. And as the stranded passengers recuprate, Paul the Apostle begins pouring his heart out to them through service. He begins helping the locals gather firewood to warm those who were exhausted and trying to warm themselve by the fire. and it is here that God begins demonstrating once again who He is.

When Paul shipwrecked in Malta, you would think that was the end of the storm, but Paul was bitten by a snake. The Lord mercifully protected Paul, and it leads to him being able to share the gospel and pray for healing for the natives of the island. Scripture References: Acts28:1-16 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Build the altar—and let the fire fall!In this fiery, prophetic message from 1 Kings 18, Lisa Schwarz unpacks what it means to be a living sacrifice in a world full of false gods and empty noise. From Elijah's showdown with the prophets of Baal to Paul's storm-drenched shipwreck on Malta, she issues a clear call:Stop striving. Stop wavering. Stop waiting for better conditions.Start building the fire—right where you are. Because when God sends fire, He consumes everything: the depression, the addiction, the compromise, the shame. And what's left? Evidence. Not just of your surrender, but of His power.This is not a message of hype. It's a message of holiness. It's time to stop chasing theatrics and start becoming altars.Because in the kingdom of God…More fire. Less talk.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.
