In this episode of Big Blend Radio's “Quiltripping Travel with Rose” podcast, travel writer and photographer Rose Palmer takes us on a captivating journey through Malta, the independent island nation nestled between Sicily and North Africa. With a history stretching back over 5,000 years, Malta is a treasure trove of cultural influences, architectural marvels, and remarkable resilience. Explore the breathtaking St. John's Cathedral in Valletta—with its stunning Baroque design and an iconic Caravaggio painting—along with the island's fortified structures built by the Knights of St. John. Rose digs into Malta's pivotal role during World War II, from the extensive bombing campaigns to the underground shelters that protected its people. Hear about the Arabic roots of the Maltese language, the ancient texts preserved in the National Library of Malta (some dating to 1474), and the island's fascinating Neolithic history. Rose also highlights the vibrant lifestyle of Valletta, its UNESCO World Heritage designation, and the enduring spirit of the Maltese people. Whether you're a history buff, culture seeker, or curious traveler, this episode offers a rich glimpse into what makes Malta a must-visit Mediterranean destination.

In this episode of VISITORS, UFO researcher Craig Oliver unpacks the Magenta Project. A complex web connecting a 1933 UFO retrieval in Mussolini's Italy to the formation of America's modern intelligence apparatus. Craig, working alongside researcher Michael Arementor have constructed an extensive timeline revealing how this pre-WWII incident may have shaped everything from the OSS to the CIA's creation just two months after Roswell. The discussion traces how Italian researcher Roberto Pinotti first documented the Magenta retrieval in the 1990s, later brought to prominence by David Grusch's testimony. Craig explains how Mussolini's son-in-law, Galeazzo Ciano, managed both the recovered craft and intelligence operations while attempting to keep Italy out of WWII. The conversation weaves together threads involving the Vatican's knowledge of anomalous phenomena, the Knights of Malta's intelligence connections, and figures like Vannevar Bush (distantly related to the Bush political family), who controlled radar development—potentially the first technology capable of downing UFOs. Craig argues that understanding this history matters even for non-believers, as it illuminates how America transformed from a nation with minimal intelligence infrastructure before WWII into today's labyrinthine security state. The through-line connects suppressed free energy research by Tesla and Marconi, the rise of oil-dependent power structures, and the deliberate concealment of exotic technology by those who recognized it as a threat to their control—a pattern of obfuscation that began in 1933 and continues today.

Hoy nos ponemos cómodos frente a la pantalla del Telefunken porque os traemos un peliculón. Mezcla de géneros, que es lo que a nosotros nos gusta, la diversidad. Un film del año 1992 dirigido por Rob Reiner (La Princesa Prometida, Cuando Harry encontró a Sally o Misery) y protagonizada por Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise y Demi Moore. Película que estuvo nominada a cuatro estatuillas de los Óscars y que entre otras curiosidades, alguien ha contado el número de veces que se pronuncia la palabra señor.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tropical Storm FungWong Storm Circle Continues Shrinking The Central Weather Administration says Tropical Storm Fung-wong is continuing to weaken, with its storm circle shrinking. As a result, Yunlin County and Penghu are no longer included in the Land Warning area. Forecasters believe the system may weaken into a tropical depression sooner than previously expected. As of 9 a.m. today, the center was located about 140 kilometers west-southwest of Eluanbi, at the island's southermost tip. It was moving in an east-northeasterly direction at speeds between 16 and 32 kilometers per hour. The storm is packing sustained wind speeds of 72 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 101 kilometers per hour. The storm circle, with a radius of 150 kilometers, has entered the southern part of Taiwan. The CWA's land warning remains in effect for Pingtung,Chiayi,Tainan,Kaohsiung,Nantou,Hualien,Taitung , and theHengchun Peninsula. Forecasters note that satellite imagery shows the storm's structure has deteriorated, with the upper and lower centers separating. Fung-wong is still expected to move northeast and potentially make landfall on the Hengchun Peninsula this evening. (NS) Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 69-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,853 on turnover of $8.9-billion N-T. The market ground on Tuesday after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing gave up its early gains to end the trading lower. The market rose to the day's high within 10 minutes of opening on buying sparked by a rally on Wall Street overnight led by tech heavyweights, but selling quickly emerged (出現了) - with large cap tech stocks, including T-S-M-C, in focus. Pakistan Bombing Leaves 12 Dead A suicide bombing in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad has killed at least 12 people, and injured (受傷) another 30. The blast happened near the entrance of the city's district court. The Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has blamed India for the attack. Hira Mustafa sent this report from the blast site in Islamabad. EU India Navies Take Over Pirates Ship The European Union and Indian navies have taken over a ship used by pirates off the coast of Somalia to seize a Malta-flagged tanker. The Iranian fishing vessel was used as a “mother ship” for the attacks. A team from the Spanish frigate ESPS Victoria boarded the the vessel and found the original crew safe. The EU naval force says piracy in the area has been disrupted (被擾亂的). Somali pirate attacks have increased over the last year, partly due to instability caused by attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea corridor. Blue Diamond Auctioned for Over 25Million A blue diamond weighing nearly 10 carats has sold at auction in Switzerland for $25.6 million including fees. The “Mellon Blue” is named for the late American arts patron Rachel “Bunny” Mellon. The "Fancy Vivid Blue and Internally Flawless" stone had been expected to fetch $20-$30 million at the Christie's auction on Tuesday. Some experts say the price of the gem was weighed down by a broader market mood, with geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty keeping many buyers away. Christie's says its highest price for a vivid (鮮豔的) blue diamond was set in Geneva in 2016 when the 14.62-carat Oppenheimer Blue sold for more than $57 million. That was the I.C.R.T.

A prevenção contra a dengue foi tema de entrevista no Cruz de Malta Notícias desta quarta-feira (12). Com a aproximação do período de chuvas e altas temperaturas, o ambiente se torna ideal para a reprodução do mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmissor da dengue, zika e chikungunya. Nas últimas semanas, a redação da Rádio Cruz de Malta recebeu diversos relatos de ouvintes preocupados com o descarte incorreto de materiais, como entulhos de construções, móveis e outros objetos deixados em terrenos e vias públicas. Esses locais acabam se transformando em criadouros do mosquito. Outro problema recorrente e debatido recentemente na Câmara de Vereadores é a situação dos terrenos baldios com mato alto, que muitas vezes são utilizados para o descarte irregular de lixo. Além de favorecer a proliferação do Aedes aegypti, esses espaços também contribuem para o aumento de animais peçonhentos nas áreas urbanas. Para reforçar o alerta e orientar a população sobre as ações preventivas, o técnico da Vigilância Sanitária de Lauro Müller, José dos Passos Ceron, e o agente de combate às endemias, Edson Mazzucco, destacaram as medidas simples que fazem a diferença.

In the final nine chapters of the Acts of the Apostles, Paul journeys across the Middle East, planting, encouraging, and supporting Christian churches. Among other places, he visits Macedonia, Greece, Ephesus, Jerusalem, Malta, and finally Rome. Along the way, he is relentlessly pursued by a group of Jews who, much like Paul before his conversion on the road to Damascus, seek to eradicate Christianity—particularly by killing Paul—as people turn toward the Good News and away from the temple and synagogues. During these travels, Paul wrote most of the New Testament via letters he wrote to the churches he founded.

Acts 28 tells of the entire company of the ship arriving safely on Malta at a place today known as St Paul's Bay. Here the ship's company will remain over winter until Paul journeys to Rome. The night of their arrival is cold and wet. A fire is kindled to dry them and to provide warmth. As Paul assists with the gathering of wood for the fire a venomous viper comes out from the fire and sinks its fangs into Paul's hand. The superstitious locals think Paul must have been a murderer who having escaped the vengeance of the sea is now being punished by God. Paul shakes the snake into the fire. The locals watch Paul waiting for him to convulse, swell up and die an agonising death - none of these things happen. So, they change their minds into thinking that he must be a god. Paul now is lodged for three days with the chief man of the island named Publius. Publius' father is sick with dysentery; but is miraculously healed by the Apostle. After leaving Malta three months later Paul takes a ship to the mainland where the journey to Rome continues. Along the journey Paul is given the privileges not normally given to a prisoner. The Apostle stops and meets several groups of believers on his journey to Rome. In Rome he calls together the local Jewish leaders and explains why he is in Rome. These Jewish leaders had received no information from any other Jews concerning Paul. After discussing his case it is thought that he might be set at liberty. The Apostle says that he was left with no alternative than to put his case before Caesar when the Judean Jews objected to his being released. The Roman Jews reveal that they have heard that the Christian sect is everywhere spoken against. A large gathering of Jews comes to Paul's place of residence at an appointed time. The aged Apostle tells them from morning to evening the message of the prophets. Paul concludes his address with the words of Isaiah 6 in chapter 6 which prophesied Jewish opposition to the Gospel message. The great Apostle claims that the Gentiles will favourably respond to the teaching of Christ. The book of Acts commenced in chapter 1verses8 with the need for the gospel to be taken "to the uttermost parts of the earth" and concluded with that task being completedverses see Jesus great commission to the Apostles in Mark 16verses15-16. And also, after Paul's miraculous preservation after having been bitten by a venomous viper recorded in Acts 28verses3verses5 compare with Mark 16verses17-18. Two years expire and as no case is brought against Paul he is released to continue his preaching. All of these things occur before the fire in Rome and the intense persecution which came upon believers by the Emperor Nero from that time onwards. The 31st verses of Acts 28 is an epitome of the entire bookverses "Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him."

In this episode, IFN journalist Radhika Das speaks with Jesmond Gatt, the chairman of the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), and Clare Farrugia, the head of strategy, policy and innovation at the MFSA, on Malta's plans to introduce a dedicated Sukuk framework, a first for the jurisdiction. The discussion explores the MFSA's objectives, Shariah governance measures and Malta's vision to position itself as a European gateway for Islamic finance.

Ne tikai pie mums Latvijā un Baltijā, bet arī citviet Eiropā turpinās ļoti silts rudens. Latvijā pagājušajā nedēļā – 7. novembrī – tika reģistrēts +15 grādu siltums. Un tas ir viens no vēlākajiem datumiem rudenī, kad bijusi tik augsta gaisa temperatūra. Zināmi vēl tikai daži gadījumi vēsturē. Nesenākais no tiem 2022. gadā, kad gan Rīgā, gan Mērsragā bija +15 grādi, un tas notika 12. novembrī, kas ir visvēlākais datums ar +15 grādiem. Šonedēļ siltuma rekordi birs Eiropas centrālajā un rietumu daļā. Ceturtdien un piektdien daudzviet Francijā prognzēti +20, +25 grādi, kas pat Francijā novembra vidū nav ierasti. Bet līdz +15, +20 grādiem silts būs Vācijā un pat daļā Polijas, Čehijā, Austrijā un Ungārijā. Tikmēr Atlantijas okeāna otrā krastā – Amerikā – daudzviet atnākusi ļoti agra ziema. Gan Kanādas, gan ASV austrumu štatos iestājies sals, snieg un puteņo. Īpaši stipru snigšanu piedzīvojuši reģioni Lielo ezeru tuvumā, kur veidojās ezera efekta sniega mākoņi. Līdzīgi kā pie mums Rīgas līcis mēdz burtiski ražot intensīvus nokrišņu mākoņus, kad pie mums ieplūst auksts gaiss, tas pats notiek virs Lielajiem ezeriem starp ASV un Kanādu. Vsivairāk uzsnidzis uz dienvidiem no Mičiganas ezera – Indianas štatā – ap 30 cm sniega. Aukstā gaisa masa aizplūdusi pat tik tālu uz dienvidiem, ka Floridā uzstādīti aukstuma rekordi. Štata ziemeļos temperatūra pat noslīdējusi mazliet zem nulles, līdz -2…-3 grādiem, kas saulainajai un siltajai Floridai nav bieža parādība pat ziemas mēnesis, kur nu vēl novembra vidū. ASV Nacionālās Okeāna un atmosfēras pārvalde lēš, ka šis ir lielākais aukstuma vilnis pēdējo gandrīz 30 gadu laikā, bet atsevišķās vietās var tikt uzstādīti lokālas nozīmes rekordi ar lielāko aukstumu pēdējo 60 gadu laikā.  * Latvijā, patriotu nedēļā, laiks pie mums vienmēr ir pelēcīgs, vēss un drūms un noteikti gribētos vairāk svētku brīvdienu labā laikā, vienlaikus, manuprāt, lieliski ir arī tas, ka novembra valsts svētku laikapstākļi ir radījuši spēcīgas asociācijas un tikai papildina svētku sajūtu. Paliekot pie pamata 15 svētku dienām gadā, ir viena lieta no statistikas, ko gribas pateikt uzreiz – vienīgā no visām svētku dienām, kad vēsturiski Latvijas teritorijā nekad nav bijis sals, ir Jāņi – 24. jūnijs. Pat ne Līgo diena, jo 23. jūnijā ir bijuši gadījumi, kad temperatūra ir mīnusos. Rekords ir 1977. gada Līgo dienas rīts Stendē ar -1,5 grādiem. Un te cilvēki noteikti atcerēsies, ka arī Jāņu rītā, 24. jūnijā ir bijusi salna un tā ir tiesa, ir bijuši gadi un pēdējais visspilgtākais bija 1992. gads, kad salna zāles augstumā bija daudzviet Latvijā. Jāņu rītā nebija rasas, zāle bija sasalusi kraukšķīga, bet 2 metru augstumā, kur mēra gaisa temperatūru, minimums bija Zosēnos: +0,7 grādi. Vēsturiskajā bezslanu periodā, kas ir no jūlija pirmās puses līdz augusta vidum, kad Latvijā tiešām nav pat salnu, svētku mums nav. Kurus no svētkiem statistiski var saukt par saulainiem, siltiem un kurus pavisam noteikti ne? Uz šo jautājumu pat bez klimatisko datu analīzes mēs katrs vairāk vai mazāk varam atbildēt. Tātad Līgo diena, Jāņi, protams, vairumā gadījumu ir vairāk vai mazāk vasarīgi un tad ir svētki, kuros var būt gan vasarīgs siltums, gan sniegs un tādi ir gan 1. un 4. maijs, gan, protams, Lielā Piektdiena un Pirmās un Otrās Lieldienas, kas var iekrist datumos no marta beigām līdz aprīļa beigu daļai. Bet ir vēl divas svētku dienas, ko cilvēki piemirst, ka vispār tie ir, tā sauktie, sarkanie datumi. un tā ir Mātes diena – maija otrā svētdiena. Jo, tā kā tā ir svētdienā, tad lielākā daļa cilvēku nebauda īpašās svētku dienas privilēģijas darbā. Un vēl Vasarsvētki, kas arī ir mainīgos datumos no 10. maija līdz 13. jūnijam, bet arī vienmēr svētdienā. Šos un Pirmās Lieldienas, kas ir svētdienā es tomēr no statistikas celtu ārā, jo tās tomēr nav klasiskas svētku brīvdienas, kad cilvēkiem tiek dots vairāk brīva laika svinēšanai un atpūtai. Noņemot šīs trīs dienas nost mums ir 12 svētku brīvdienas, no kurām stabili divas ir vasarīgas. Ja paveicas, tad maija svētki un Lieldienas, tad var iekrist līdz 6 svētku brīvdienā ar labu laiku. Pārājās – 18. novembris, trīs Ziemassvētku brīvdienas, Vecgada diena un Jaungada diena labākajā gadījumā ir ar sauli, bet biežāk tomēr tumšas un pat Ziemassvētku laiks arvien biežāk ir bez sniega. Klimatiskie dati rāda, ka 1. un 4. maijā iespējamība, ka diena ir saulaina, ir 70 procenti, savukārt novembrī vai decembrī 20-30 procenti. Turklāt, ja maijā diena ir saulaina, tad saule var spīdēt līdz 16 stundas, tad novembrī un decembrī, pat ja visa diena ir ar skaidrām debesīm, tās ir tikai 6–7 stundas. Bet šajā diskusijā par svētku brīvdienas statusa atņemšanu 1. maijam, bieži dzird argumentu, ka Darba svētki ir Padomju laika mantojums un to vajag atmest. Šis komentārs no manis ne par kllimatu vai laikapstākļiem, bet tomēr aicinu atcerēties, ka 1. maijā ne visi svin Darba svētkus un arī es personīgi šo dienu vispār nesaistu ar darba svētkiem, bet kā ierakstīts arī likumā – Latvijas Republikas Satversmes sapulces sasaukšanas diena. Tā ir diena, kad Latvijā sāka strādāt pirmais demokrātiski ievēlētais parlaments. Un, manuprāt, tas ir gana nozīmīgs notikums demokrātiskai valstij. Protams, var diskutēt, vai tam vajag svētku brīvdienu, bet to Darba svētku argumentu gan var mierīgi atmest.  Mēs pavisam noteikti neeam rekordisti Eiropā un pat Lietuvā ir par vienu brīvdienu vairāk, nekā mums, bet viņiem arī ir tās brīvdienas, kas vienmēr iekrīt svētdienā – Mātes diena un viņiem arī jūnija pirmā svētdiena – Tēva diena. Vēl, starp citu, mīts, ka lietuviešiem kā katoļiem Jāņi nav brīvdiena. Nav tiesa. Viņiem Līgo diena nav brīva, bet 24. jūnijs ir gan. Un atšķirībā no mums, lietuviešiem ir divas brīvidneas kārtīgā vasarā – 6. jūlijs – Karaļa Mindauga kronēšanas diena un 15. augusts – VIssvētākās Jaunavas Marijas debesīs uzņemšanas diena, vienlaikus tie, kas nav katoļi to svin kā Zemes mātes dienu pēc pagānu tradīcijām kā viduspunktu starp vasaru un rudeni. Un vēl interesanti, ka lietuvišiem novembrī ir divas brīvdienas pēc kārtas – 1. novembrī Visu svēto diena un 2. novembris – Mirušo piemiņas diena, ko mēs saucam par svecīšu vakaru. Igauņiem savukārt ir tikai 12 svētku dienas. Bez 23. un 24, jūnija Igaunijā vēl ir Neatkarības atjaunošanas diena 20. augustā. Bet, kas interesanti, ka 23. jūnijs nav Saistīts ar vasaras saulgriežiem un Līgo pagānu tradīcijām. Tā ir Uzvaras diena. Un uzvaras diena, kas ir svinama arī Latvijā. Igauņiem 23. jūnijs ir brīvs par godu uzvarai Cēsu kaujā 1919. gadā, kad iaguņu un latviešu karavīri plecu pie pleca cīnījās pret Vācu karspēku. Un uzvarēja. Rekordisti svētku brīvdienu skaitā Eiropā ir Austrija. Bet ne visa Austrija. Tur atkarībā no federālās zemes ir 13–18 svētku brīvdienas. Intersanta šķiet Malta. 14 brīvdienas. Ļoti vidēji uz pārējo Eiropas valstu fona, bet liekot kopā ar klimatiskajiem un meteoroloģiskajiem datiem kaut kā likās, ka viņiem daudz brīvdienu vasarīgā laikā, bet skaidrs, ka Maltā vienkārši laiks ir vasarīgāks. Viņiem 8 no svētku brīvdienām sanāk tādā laikā, kas mums saucams par vasarīgu. Brīvības diena 31. martā, kad Maltu pameta britu karspēks1979. gadā, Lieldienu brīvdienas, darba svētki 1. maijā, sacelšanās pret britu koloniālistiem 7. jūnijā, tad viņiem brīva ir Pēterdiena 29. jūnijā, Marijas debesīs uzņemšanas diena 15. augustā, vēl ir vairāku vēsturisku uzvaru svinības 8. septembrī, tad galvenā Natkarības diena 21. septembrī, kad arī Maltā vēl valda vasara. Ja runājam par ziemeļniekiem, viņi tiešām ir strādīgāki un viņiem ir vismazāk svētku brīvdienu – Islandē tikai 10, Zviedrijā un Norvēģija 12, Somijā 13. Un vasaras brīvdienu ziņā Norvēģijā ir visbēdīgāk. VIņiem nav Jāņu vai cita veida Vasaras saulgriežu brīvdienu. Kaut cik siltajā gada daļā ir 1. maijs, 17. maijs – Konstitūcijas diena un tad ir trīs kristiešu brīvdienas, no kurām viena vienmēr ir svētdienā un tās ir, es nebiju pārliecināts par precīziem nosaukumiem latviešu valodā, bet tās ir 39. diena pēc Lieldienām, tātad arī kaut kad aprīļa beigās vai maijā un vēl 49. un 50. diena pēc Lieldienām, kas sanāk ne vēlāk kā jūnija vidus, kad daļā Norvēģijas vēl mēdz pa reizi snigt. Rezumējot var teikt, ka mūsu svētku brīvdienu komplekts ir tuvs Ziemeļvalstīm, bet tomēr mums ir mazliet vairāk brīvdienu. Gribētu mums brīvu 21. augustu, jo tie 1991. gada notikumi šķiet svarīgi mūsu vēsturē. 11. novembris ir ar ļoti jaukām tradīcijām un tad noteikti patritisku noskaņu ir vairāk, bet labums ir tas, ka – tā kā 11. novembris nekad nav bijis brīvdiena, mēs esam iemācījušies to svinēt bez papildu bīvā laika. Un 11. novembris, manuprāt, ir tādi ļoti latviski svētki, jo ja mēs te Rīgā vēl pulcējamies pie Prezidenta pils un kopīgi dedzam sveces, daudzi jo daudzi, arī rīdzinieki, kas nenāk uz Krastmalu, iededz sveci logā un svarīgākais ir pārdomas, ko dod šī diena un vakars. Un tādā ziņā man šīet, ka 11. novembris ir pašpietiekams, bet 21. augustu varētu iedzīvināt, ka ļoti jaukus, brīvības svinēšanas svētkus ārā, ar plašākām dažādu aktivitāšu iespējām. Bet katram noteikti savas domas un argumentu jau ir daudz un dažādi.  Teiktu, ka nav slikts mūsu svētku brīvdienu komplekts. Nav kā maltiešiem, kas var rīkot festivālus visu cauru vasaru, bet tam jau mēs ņemam atvaļinājumus.

Ezra 8 gives the genealogies of the returning exiles. This information is most important to Ezra the priest. It is necessary that only those whose genealogies for the priesthood could be proven would be put into the priesthood - the same applied to the Levites. Genealogies often seem boring to us, but the genealogies are most important to those whose names are recorded. Nothing happens by accident in the life of Ezra - a small group are travelling with vast treasures of the Temple and have no guard provided by the king. However, they are never without protection - the God of heaven is with them. Nonetheless they do not presume on Yahweh's support - for three days they fast and pray seeking the Almighty's protection. Ezra cannot ask king Darius for protection - for that would demonstrate a failure to trust in the LORD. Ezra and the returning exiles offer burnt offerings and sin offerings and depart for the Land having angelic protection. Hosea 9 tells that because of Israel's unfaithfulness they are to be taken captive into Egypt. Memphis is the central city of Egypt's gods and is the place of enslavement for idol worshipping Israel. From a promising beginning our God finds His people have treacherously turned from Him to commit idolatry. This shows that their trust is in the nations surrounding them, rather than in their God. The chapter concludes in verse 17 with Israel becoming outcasts among the nations. Acts 28 tells of the entire company of the ship arriving safely on Malta at a place today known as St Paul's Bay. Here the ship's company will remain over winter until Paul journeys to Rome. The night of their arrival is cold and wet. A fire is kindled to dry them and to provide warmth. As Paul assists with the gathering of wood for the fire a venomous viper comes out from the fire and sinks its fangs into Paul's hand. The superstitious locals think Paul must have been a murderer who having escaped the vengeance of the sea is now being punished by God. Paul shakes the snake into the fire. The locals watch Paul waiting for him to convulse, swell up and die an agonising death - none of these things happen. So, they change their minds into thinking that he must be a god. Paul now is lodged for three days with the chief man of the island named Publius. Publius' father is sick with dysentery; but is miraculously healed by the Apostle. After leaving Malta three months later Paul takes a ship to the mainland where the journey to Rome continues. Along the journey Paul is given the privileges not normally given to a prisoner. The Apostle stops and meets several groups of believers on his journey to Rome. In Rome he calls together the local Jewish leaders and explains why he is in Rome. These Jewish leaders had received no information from any other Jews concerning Paul. After discussing his case it is thought that he might be set at liberty. The Apostle says that he was left with no alternative than to put his case before Caesar when the Judean Jews objected to his being released. The Roman Jews reveal that they have heard that the Christian sect is everywhere spoken against. A large gathering of Jews comes to Paul's place of residence at an appointed time. The aged Apostle tells them from morning to evening the message of the prophets. Paul concludes his address with the words of Isaiah 6 in chapter 6 which prophesied Jewish opposition to the Gospel message. The great Apostle claims that the Gentiles will favourably respond to the teaching of Christ. The book of Acts commenced in chapter 1verses8 with the need for the gospel to be   taken "to the uttermost parts of the earth" and concluded with that task being completedverses see Jesus great commission to the Apostles in Mark 16verses15-16. And also, after Paul's miraculous preservation after having been bitten by a venomous viper recorded in Acts 28verses3verses5 compare with Mark 16verses17-18. Two years expire and as no case is brought against Paul he is released to continue his preaching. All of these things occur before the fire in Rome and the intense persecution which came upon believers by the Emperor Nero from that time onwards. The 31st verses of Acts 28 is an epitome of the entire bookverses "Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him."

"Golan Zocher joins the gang with two massive new tracks. It's with great pleasure that we welcome Golan to the Sprout ranks. Hard to believe it has only been ten years since the prolific artist began his global sonic journey. Since then, he's amassed an impressive arsenal of weaponry on seminal labels such as Sudbeat, JOOF and Mango Alley. A talented DJ, he's played from Miami to Malta, soundtracking parties around the world. Opening with ‘Frequencies', it's very easy to see how his silky smooth productions find their way onto the USBs of the great and good. Rolling from bar one, the airy pads and spiky bass create otherworldly images in your mind's eye. Ethereal and hypnotic, the keys midway provide new direction and power. Next up, ‘Intervals' continues apace. Rolling bass that makes your hips wiggle? Check. Icy pads that make your mind wander? Check Check. Snappy percussive underbelly that literally makes you hurry towards a dance floor, any dance floor!? Triple check! Deep, hypnotic and devilishly beautiful, Golan Zocher is a master craftsman, and this is an EP you cannot be without."

En 1606, Caravaggio, el maestro del claroscuro, se vio envuelto en una reyerta que acabó con la muerte de Ranuccio Tomassoni. Condenado a muerte, huyó de Roma y vivió como fugitivo entre Nápoles, Malta y Sicilia mientras seguía pintando con furia e intensidad. Su técnica revolucionaria del tenebrismo y el realismo crudo definieron el Barroco, pero su vida tormentosa, llena de violencia, le persiguió hasta su muerte en 1610.

In this episode, the boys scratch their heads at the recent playoff game versus Miami.  They question the strategy and lineup rolled out by Coach BJ Callaghan, but they take solace in the fact that it ain't over yet, and Nashville SC still has one more shot to keep this magical season going.  And while they weren't so impressed with Sam Surridge or Jacob Shaffelburg, who has come down with a bad case of Randall Leal Disease.  Speaking of, inspired by a listener, the boys take some time to reminisce about simpler times with former players Leal, Dax McCarty, Lukas McNaughton and Anibal Godoy, and then they start to worry that maybe Joe Willis and Walker Zimmerman might soon be joining that group.  And let's stop exchanging jerseys at the end of games and get more intense and serious about all of this, shall we?  Speaking of intense, the boys tell a tale about the Knights of St. John and the Siege of Malta in 1565, because NSC is about to pull off their own stand against the evil empire.  And they drink beer.

4. The Birth of the Counterterrorism Center and Early Warnings of Bin Laden Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Following the Cold War, the CIA lacked a clear mission. However, a terrifying series of terrorist incidents in the mid-1980s, including the 1985 Malta hijacking handled by Heidi August, led to the formation of the small, low-prestige Counterterrorism Center (CTC). Heidi, traumatized after calling the mother of a dead civilian victim, chose to devote her career to fighting terrorism. The CTC, located in an undesirable office, attracted an odd assortment of people, including future key figures like analysts Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude. Cindy Storer, initially relegated to the Afghanistan desk, was the first to recognize the threat posed by Arab jihadist fighters dispersing globally and being funded by a mysterious financier: Osama bin Laden. Despite gathering critical intelligence, the CTC's analysts (Directorate of Intelligence—DI) struggled to be heard, facing contempt from the clandestine spies (Directorate of Operations—DO) and difficulty publishing their findings due to required corporate buy-in.

What if the Ark of the Covenant isn't lost—it's just hidden in plain sight? Bob Cornuke returns for a second episode, exclusively for members, to share explosive revelations from twenty-two expeditions to Ethiopia, where Orthodox monks guard what they believe is the actual Ark. With unprecedented access to Lake Tana's sacred island and trust earned from four generations of Ark guardians, Bob traces a compelling 2,700-year timeline from Solomon's Temple to modern-day Axum. He presents archaeological evidence, including tent peg holes matching tabernacle dimensions, ancient artifacts, and historical documents that map the Ark's journey through Egypt's Elephantine Island before reaching Ethiopia. With 98% certainty, Bob explains why Ethiopian Christians protect a decaying wooden box they believe houses the Ten Commandments, guarded by a keeper who dedicates his entire life to watching over it, never leaving the building. The conversation shifts to Malta, where Bob tracked down four massive anchors from Paul's shipwreck—discovered by local divers at the exact location and depth described in Acts 27, with odds of coincidence at 10 to the 50th power according to Chuck Missler's calculations. The episode reaches its emotional peak when Bob shares a never-before-told story of a prophetic vision that led him to save a paralyzed Ethiopian man's life, transforming his access to Ethiopia's most guarded spiritual secrets and his understanding of divine purpose.
