Wonder what your child's doodles mean?Dr. Josephine Deguara joins me to discuss how children often use drawing as an early language to express thoughts and emotions before they can fully use words. We talk about how adults should avoid interpreting drawings themselves and instead ask open-ended questions to understand the child's meaning. When children are given time, materials, and attentive listeners, drawing helps them process feelings, tell stories, and explore their identity.Prof Josephine Deguara is an Associate Professor and researcher in the Department of Early Childhood and Primary Education at the University of Malta. Her work focuses on early childhood pedagogy, policy, and practice, with a particular interest in how children express their thinking and experiences through drawing. She uses children's drawings as a way of understanding identity, belonging, play, and children's funds of knowledge through participatory, rights-based research approaches.

The final two chapters of Acts are everything but final in Paul's story. What looked like disaster becomes ministry as God saves lives, opens doors in Malta, and continues the spread of the gospel. Through every trial, Paul's story shows that God can turn crises into opportunities and that nothing can stop the purpose of God from being fulfilled in our lives.

Life rarely unfolds the way we plan — and Paul's shipwreck on the island of Malta is proof of that. In this message, Dr. John traces how Paul, freshly washed ashore as a survivor, immediately began looking for ways to serve and share the gospel. A convicting look at what it means to see the hand of God in every unexpected twist — and seize it.Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters. We then highlight the three mission trips of Paul. But some of the most profound lessons lie in the final chapters of Acts 25-28. Dr. John will show God extending His Kingdom through the personal struggle and imprisonment of Paul. The world's worst cannot impede God's best.

This week on History's Greatest Idiots (Featuring Peter of In The Wheels), we explore two Scottish success stories: cyclist David Millar's fall from grace and redemption, and comic writer Mark Millar's controversial rise to Hollywood riches.Born 4th January 1977 in Malta, David Millar burst onto cycling's scene in 2000, winning the Tour de France prologue and wearing the yellow jersey. He won four Tour stages and became the first British rider to wear the leader's jersey in all three Grand Tours.On 23rd June 2004, whilst dining in Biarritz, French police arrested Millar. They found empty EPO phials and syringes. Millar confessed to doping in 2001 and 2003. He was banned for two years, stripped of his 2003 World Championship, and fired by Cofidis.Returning in 2006, Millar transformed into cycling's most vocal anti-doping advocate. He served on WADA's Athlete Committee, became peloton spokesperson during Operación Puerto, and proved he could win clean with stages in the Vuelta, Giro, and a 2012 Tour victory. He achieved almost identical results in both halves of his career, retiring in 2014.Born 24th December 1969 in Coatbridge, Mark Millar became one of comics' most successful and divisive figures. After The Authority and The Ultimates (Time's "comic book of the decade"), Millar created Millarworld, designing properties to sell to Hollywood. Wanted, Kick-Ass, and Kingsman became films before issues appeared. Netflix purchased Millarworld in 2017.Critical reception has been harsh. Old Man Logan was called "grotesque" and "without substance", Kick-Ass criticised for undermining its premise, Nemesis dismissed as shock value. When asked about using assaults as a plot device, Millar said: "The ultimate act that would be the taboo, to show how bad some villain is..."Politically, Millar supported Brexit as a path to Scottish independence, then resigned from Labour in 2025, calling Keir Starmer's government "nightmarish, totalitarian."Two Millars. One rebuilt his reputation through honesty. The other built a Hollywood empire on controversy.David Millar: From Yellow Jersey to Prison CellMark Millar: Comics, Controversy and Self-Promotion⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In the early hours of December 3, 1995, a small aircraft vanished over the Mediterranean. On board was Belfast-born engineer Desi Boomer, travelling home from Libya's oil fields to Northern Ireland via Malta. Instead of welcoming him home, Desi's wife Mandy received a visit from two RUC officers telling her the plane had disappeared. Initially treated as a routine aviation accident, the case of Piper Lance 9H-ABU has since become a long-running mystery, with allegations of negligence, espionage, and claims of hostage taking. Abdullah Sabri speaks to Desi's brother Mark about dealing with his unexplained loss, unanswered questions, and what he thinks could have happened. Hosted on Acast.

Acts 27 Following Paul's journey to Rome, storms wreak havoc on their plans. Paul guides them to the safe landing. In life challenges and storms will come, how will we respond? Will we try self-preservation, or we will trust in the word of God.

Bom dia! Vamos para mais uma #MensagemDoDia (https://open.spotify.com/show/29PiZmu44AHH8f93syYSqH)A escritura de hoje está em 1 João 3:8, NLT:"...Mas o Filho de Deus veio para destruir as obras do diabo."O Veneno que Perdeu o EfeitoEm Atos 28, vemos o apóstolo Paulo em uma situação extrema: ele foi picado por uma cobra venenosa em uma pequena ilha chamada Malta. O mais impressionante não é a picada, mas a reação de Paulo: ele não entrou em pânico. Ele simplesmente sacudiu a cobra no fogo e continuou o que estava fazendo.As pessoas ao redor ficaram esperando que ele inchasse e caísse morto a qualquer momento. Mas, depois de muito tempo, vendo que nada acontecia, mudaram de ideia e acharam que ele era um deus. Na verdade, ele era "apenas" um filho de Deus que conhecia a sua autoridade.No texto de hoje, a palavra "destruir" no original grego tem um significado fascinante: significa "não atingir o propósito planejado".Haverá momentos em que seremos "picados" por uma doença, uma decepção no relacionamento ou uma perda financeira. O veneno entra com um objetivo: parar você. O propósito daquela "picada" é te tirar do jogo. Mas, porque Deus destruiu as obras do inimigo, esse veneno perde o efeito.O que para os outros seria o fim, para você será apenas um testemunho. O Deus Altíssimo está neutralizando as forças das trevas agora mesmo. O que Ele planejou para a sua vida vai acontecer, e nenhuma toxina deste mundo pode impedir o seu destino.Vamos fazer uma oração "Pai, obrigado porque, não importa o que venha contra mim, isso não atingirá o propósito planejado pelo mal. Obrigado por ter destruído as obras do inimigo e quebrado o seu poder sobre a minha história. Eu creio que o Senhor tem a palavra final e que o Teu propósito para mim está a caminho. Em nome de Jesus, Amém."

In this episode of the Water Polo Expert Talk, Karl Izzo, President of the Malta Aquatics Federation, shares an in-depth update on Malta's remarkable rise in European water polo. Since the beginning of his presidency, Malta has re-established itself on the international map by hosting major European and World Aquatics events, including multiple Final Four tournaments, European Championships, and World Cup competitions. Beyond event hosting, Malta achieved its best-ever national team result with a historic 13th place at the European Championships in Belgrade — a significant milestone for one of Europe's smallest countries. Karl explains the strategic pillars behind this progress: rebuilding relationships with European Aquatics and World Aquatics, investing in coaching education, strengthening safeguarding structures, and stabilizing the federation's financial situation. After years of financial challenges, Malta recorded a positive financial balance, enabling reinvestment into clubs, youth development, grassroots programs, and international participation. The episode also addresses ongoing challenges such as referee development, domestic club rivalry, and increasing participation numbers. Karl outlines Malta's renewed focus on school programs, youth academies, Splash Ball initiatives for younger age groups, and the expansion of women's water polo to ensure long-term sustainability. This conversation provides valuable insights into sports governance, federation leadership, financial restructuring, grassroots development, and how smaller nations can compete internationally through clear strategy and consistent execution.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is warning consumers against the use of head straps in children's car seats. The product safety warning comes after extensive online market surveillance by the CCPC. Through these searches, the CCPC conducted a sweep of 100 product listings and attempted to obtain the required safety documentation for each product. All 100 listings were removed as the safety of the products could not be demonstrated. The products in question were being sold across five online marketplaces: Amazon, Cdiscount, Joom, Shein and Wish. They may be for sale on other platforms or websites. The head restraint accessory, which is sometimes described as a car seat head strap, a neck protection belt, a head support hugger or a nap aid/sleep holder belt, claims to prevent a child's head from falling forward or sideways if they fall asleep. However, an investigation by the CCPC's product safety team established that these products are dangerous and could cause serious injuries to a child's spine or neck during a collision or suffocation if the strap slips over the child's nose and mouth, or strangulation if the strap moves down to their neck. These products have already been recalled in Malta, Germany and Australia. While the number of products sold in Ireland is unknown, the CCPC is issuing a safety warning about the car seat head straps due to the serious risk they pose. Grainne Griffin, CCPC Director of Communications, said: "Products like this prey on a parent's basic instinct to protect their child. But instead of making a toddler safer, they put the child much more at risk. If the strap slips down over the child's face or neck, there is a serious risk of suffocation or strangulation. "CCPC sweeps have led to the removal of 100 product listings across various platforms. However, we're asking the public to remain vigilant and contact us if they see car seat head straps like these being advertised, be it online or in physical stores." Dr Katharine Harkin, Consultant in Public Health Medicine, HSE Child Health Public Health, said: "Do not place straps across your child's forehead in a car seat. They claim to prevent your child's head from falling forwards or sideways if they fall asleep. There is no evidence that these products are safe to use. "Car seats are designed to keep your child as safe as possible while travelling. The safest approach is always to use a properly fitted, appropriate car seat and do not use any additional products. The HSE's mychild.ie has more advice for parents on keeping their child safe while driving and other areas of child safety." The Road Safety Authority (RSA) does not recommend the use of devices or accessories that are purchased separately from a child's car seat. Christine Hegarty, Road Safety and Education Manager at RSA, said: "Child car seats are highly regulated and vigorously tested and are designed to perform and react in a specific way in the event of a collision. Any device that changes that process is dangerous." Car Seat Safety Advice for Consumers 1. Do not use car seat head straps as they are extremely dangerous. 2. Product add-ons or accessories for car seats should only be used when they have been tested and approved by the car seat manufacturer. 3. Using any other accessories may change the performance of the car seat or introduce other hazards during normal use.

Acts 28:1-16 Paul on Malta After we were brought safely through, we then learned that the island was called Malta. 2 The native people showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold. 3 When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 4 When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.” 5 He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god. 7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days. 8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him. 9 And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured. 10 They also honored us greatly, and when we were about to sail, they put on board whatever we needed. Paul Arrives at Rome 11 After three months we set sail in a ship that had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the twin gods as a figurehead. 12 Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days. 13 And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhegium. And after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli. 14 There we found brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome. 15 And the brothers there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul thanked God and took courage. 16 And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.

Keine europäische Wirtschaft wuchs in den letzten Jahren so beständig und schnell wie jene Maltas. Treiber sind der Tourismus, das online-Glücksspiel, die Finanzdienstleister oder der Verkauf maltesischer Pässe an Ausländer. Getrübt wird der Erfolg allerdings durch die weit verbreitete Korruption. Malta versteht es bestens, seine Kleinstaatlichkeit in wirtschaftlichen Erfolg umzumünzen. Als kleiner Staat kann es Gesetze erlassen und damit in lukrativen Nischen hohe Gewinne erzielen. Ein Beispiel dafür ist das online-Glücksspiel. In diesem aufstrebenden Sektor ist Malta einer der Marktführer. Rund 10 Prozent der maltesischen Wirtschaftsleistung stammen aus dem sogenannten online-Gambling. Malta wurde 1964 von Grossbritannien unabhängig und ist seit 2004 Teil der EU. Die Teilhabe am Binnenmarkt, die englische Sprache oder die gut ausgebildete Bevölkerung sind weitere Faktoren, die den Boom begünstigen. Im kleinen Inselstaat entstanden in den letzten Jahren hunderttausende neue Stellen. Viele sind nur über die massive Zuwanderung ausländischer Arbeitskräfte zu besetzen. Was zunehmend Widerstand weckt. Schwere Korruptionsfälle überschatten den Erfolg. In diese sind auch Exponenten aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Verwaltung involviert. Augenfällig wurde dies durch den Mord an der Journalistin Daphne Caruana Galizia im Jahr 2017. Sie hatte zu Korruptionsskandalen recherchiert und bezahlte dies mit ihrem Leben.

Malta. A fortress carved from rock, surrounded by sea, ruled by warrior monks who pray at dawn and kill by noon.Caravaggio arrives to paint a portrait. He stays because he has no choice. The Grand Master offers sanctuary, admiration, and something neither man is prepared to name. The Captain at Arms offers suspicion, jealousy, and a locked door every night.Act Two is the cage. Beautiful. Suffocating. Holy.Caravaggio paints the Grand Master's portrait and captures more than armor and scars. He captures a man's loneliness. The Knights throw a feast in his honor. He dances on tables. He is knighted with a gold sword. He is watched from every window.Back in Rome, Cardinal Del Monte fights for a papal pardon while the Tomassoni brothers hire bounty hunters. The Pope dies. A new Pope rises. The Church still cannot decide what Caravaggio is worth.On the beach, the Turks attack. Knights are nailed to crosses and set on fire, floated into the harbor at dawn. Caravaggio picks up a sword for the first time. He gives water to a dying boy. The boy is killed in front of him.Flashbacks pull him back to Rome. To Lena. To the night Ranuccio came for him with a blade. To the moment that changed everything.He paints The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist on a chapel wall and signs his name in the blood flowing from the saint's neck. The only painting he ever signed.Then he paints a Cupid so grotesque it seals his fate.Act Two is devotion. Desire. Betrayal. The moment a man realizes that the sanctuary he was promised is just a prison with better art on the walls.The fuse is burning.CastDennis Kleinman · NarratorCraig Parker · CaravaggioDan Lauria · Cardinal Del MonteBruce Davison · Alof de WignacourtShaan Sharma · Stefano della CroceCatherine Lidstone · LenaSarah Elmaleh · MariaBrendan Bradley · Annibale CarracciNoah James · Ranuccio TomassoniJosh Sterling · Ottavio TomassoniZeke Alton · Giovan TomassoniNick Monteleone · ManciniMatt Curtin · ToppaBjorn Johnson · Pope Paul VRay Abruzzo · Pope Clement VIIIWritten byRichard VetereExecutive Produced byJack Levy, Shaan Sharma, and Mark KnellTable Read is a Manifest Media production.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Publius . . . welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. — Acts 28:7 Paul was on a ship with 275 other men riding out a storm that they could have avoided. Nevertheless, God had a plan. They were shipwrecked on an island where people needed to hear the gospel story. When the travelers arrived, ragged and wet but all safe, the islanders showed kindness and generosity. They provided food and a warm fire for everyone. Then Publius, the chief official, welcomed Paul and his companions into his home. And with God's power Paul was able to heal Publius's father. The door to the gospel was now opened to many more people. As the island residents heard of this healing, their hope increased, and they began to bring all the other sick people to Paul, who healed them. A new chapter began for the people of the island of Malta. They were so thankful that they continued in their hospitality and provided the travelers with the supplies they needed when they were ready to sail again. What had looked like a disastrous situation became a God moment. Sometimes God calls us out of our safety and comfort for the sake of sharing his good news. Are you ready for what God may have in store for you?  Lord, thank you for your protection and faithfulness, even in the midst of storms. Lead us in the direction of people you are preparing to hear about you. Help us to become more like you. Amen.

Caravaggio, the brilliant outlaw painter whose genius made him famous and whose violence made him a fugitive.Rome, 1610. The city is loud, corrupt, holy, and dangerous. Caravaggio thrives in it.Act One drops you straight into the night everything breaks. Inside a dark Roman chapel, Caravaggio confronts his greatest rival and exposes a truth the Church is not ready to control. God does not live in perfection. God lives in flesh, shadow, and brutal light.Outside the church, Rome answers back. Wine turns into provocation. Desire turns into rivalry. Old grudges sharpen. A debt comes due. What begins as swagger spirals into violence, and by dawn Caravaggio's life in Rome is over.Wanted. Hunted. Unforgivable.A carriage slips through the gates. A boat cuts across black water. Behind him, the city that crowned him now wants him dead. Ahead lies Malta, a fortified island ruled by warrior monks, where faith is enforced with steel and survival demands obedience.Act One is ignition. Art as rebellion. Faith as power. Genius as liability.This is where the fuse gets lit.CastDennis Kleinman · NarratorCraig Parker · CaravaggioDan Lauria · Cardinal Del MonteBruce Davison · Alof de WignacourtShaan Sharma · Stefano della CroceCatherine Lidstone · LenaSarah Elmaleh · MariaBrendan Bradley · Annibale CarracciNoah James · Ranuccio TomassoniJosh Sterling · Ottavio TomassoniZeke Alton · Giovan TomassoniNick Monteleone · ManciniMatt Curtin · ToppaBjorn Johnson · Pope Paul VRay Abruzzo · Pope Clement VIIIWritten by Richard VetereExecutive Produced byJack Levy, Shaan Sharma, and Mark KnellTable Read is a Manifest Media production.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rome. 1610. A painter who sees God in the faces of prostitutes and killers is on the run for murder.His name is Caravaggio. He drinks too much. He loves recklessly. Men, women, it doesn't matter. He picks fights with swordsmen and screams at the heavens in candlelit chapels. He paints the way other men pray, except his prayers are in defiance. And the Catholic Church can't decide whether to pardon him or let the bounty hunters finish the job.This screenplay by Richard Vetere, a Pulitzer nominee and Golden Palm winner whose work has been produced by Francis Ford Coppola, follows Caravaggio from the brothels of Rome to a besieged fortress on Malta where a scarred Grand Master offers him sanctuary and something that looks a lot like love. But sanctuary has a price. And Caravaggio has never paid what he owes without bleeding for it.There are popes making deals in candlelight. Brothers hunting him across the Mediterranean for killing their own. A muse he left behind in Rome who can't wait much longer. A rival painter who despises his work and can't stop staring at it. Knights nailed to crosses and set on fire floating into the harbor at dawn. A prison cell carved into rock like a grave. And an escape across open sea in a fishing boat guided by a boy too afraid to speak.This is not a quiet period piece. This is Game of Thrones in Renaissance Italy with paintbrushes and rapiers.Craig Parker, who played Haldir in Lord of the Rings, plays Caravaggio. Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Bruce Davison plays the Grand Master. Dan Lauria, America's dad from The Wonder Years, plays the Cardinal pulling every string in Rome. Ray Abruzzo, Little Carmine from The Sopranos, plays the Pope. The cast includes Broadway veterans, stars of The Chosen, the voices behind the biggest video games on the planet, and a former Navy test pilot born in Italy playing an Italian swordsman.Fourteen actors. One genius who painted like God was guiding his hand and lived like the devil was chasing him. Turns out both were true.This is Caravaggio. This is Table Read.
