Marcos Estrada went from surviving Chicago gang violence to becoming a United States Marine Master Sergeant—and fighting in Operation Phantom Fury.Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Marcos grew up surrounded by poverty, domestic violence, drugs, gangs, and crime. His father battled heroin addiction and spent much of Marcos' childhood in prison. By 15, Marcos had already been shot at, stabbed, arrested for serious felonies, and pulled deeper into the gang lifestyle.Then the Marine Corps gave him another path.In today's Urban Valor interview, Marcos shares how he escaped Chicago gang life, joined the U.S. Marines, became an infantryman, and completed a 20-year military career that included multiple combat deployments.But whew… getting there was anything but simple.Marcos talks about watching his mother rebuild her life after suffering devastating injuries, the neighborhood Marine who unknowingly inspired his future, entering the Marine Corps with multiple waivers, and the drill instructors who saw potential in a broken kid before he could see it himself.He also recounts intense combat during Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah—including RPG fire, ambushes, land mines, wounded Marines, and the moment he saw fellow Marine Stacey Green lying motionless after an explosion.This isn't just a Marine Corps combat story.It's a story about trauma.Brotherhood.Accountability.And what can happen when someone is finally given structure, responsibility, and a reason to believe they can become more than their environment.Marcos didn't erase his past when he became a Marine…He transformed it into grit, leadership, and purpose.Watch the full interview to hear how a kid from Chicago's South Side survived the streets, earned the title Marine, rose to Master Sergeant, and faced some of the most dangerous fighting of the Iraq War.Subscribe to Urban Valor for more uncensored military stories, veteran interviews, Marine Corps combat experiences, and firsthand accounts from the men and women who served.
Steven Pressfield is the author of over twenty books of fiction and nonfiction. Two themes emerge from his writings: self-help and creativity, and historical fiction and war. He wrote “The Legend of Bagger Vance”, which in 2000 was made into a major motion picture directed by Robert Redford and starring Will Smith, Matt Damon and Charlize Theron. He also wrote “Gates of Fire”, and “The Virtues of War” among others. “The War Of Art” focuses on procrastination. His works are widely read in military, creative, and leadership communities for their insights into discipline, resistance, and courage. He's a former Marine and a longtime student of classical history. He's known for blending historical accuracy with storytelling and philosophy. His newest book is “The Arcadian”. It's set in Spain and deals with the moral and spiritual costs of war. Which is particularly relevant today. My featured song is “Rough Rider”, one of my recent singles.

Elevator Pitches, Company Presentations & Financial Results from Publicly Listed European Companies
Palfinger AG Elevator Pitch: Key TakeawaysPALFINGER AG Elevator Pitch PresentationIn this Elevator Pitch on seat11a, Felix Strohbichler, CFO of PALFINGER AG, presents the company's business model, competitive strengths, strategic priorities, and long-term growth ambitions.Global Technology Leader in Crane and Lifting SolutionsPALFINGER is a global technology leader in crane and lifting solutions, serving customers across a wide range of industries through an extensive product portfolio, a global service network, and strong local market positions. The company's strategy is built around technology leadership, operational resilience, sustainable shareholder value creation, and long-term profitable growth.Four Pillars of the PALFINGER Equity StoryManagement highlights four key pillars of the equity story. These include PALFINGER's position as a technology and industry leader, the resilience created by its diversified products and global footprint, attractive growth opportunities across Europe, North America, APAC, Marine and services, and additional earnings potential through digitalization, standardization, and footprint optimization.Regional Growth Opportunities and Market DevelopmentsThe presentation also reviews current regional developments. Strong momentum in Southern Europe, improving markets in Northern Europe, continued growth in India, and solid demand in the Marine business are offset by weaker market conditions in North America and China. This diversified geographic exposure contributes to the company's resilience across different economic cycles.Efficiency Program and 2030 Financial TargetsTo further enhance profitability, PALFINGER has launched a comprehensive efficiency program expected to reduce structural costs by €25 million while keeping the cost base broadly stable despite inflation and continued growth. At the same time, management reaffirmed the company's long-term 2030 financial targets, including revenue of more than €3 billion, an EBIT margin of 12%, ROCE of 15%, and the ambition to become the global leader in crane and lifting solutions.Technology Leadership and Long-Term Value CreationOverall, the presentation demonstrates how PALFINGER combines technology leadership, operational excellence, global diversification, and disciplined execution to support sustainable long-term growth and value creation. ▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick back for a looser, laid off the news desk kind of night, and it shows. Alpha opens with an update on his one man trolling campaign of a neighborhood app politics forum, then the guys trade Marine and Army deployment stories side by side, comparing wide open Afghanistan firefights to close quarters Iraq combat. Along the way they react to a stack of combat footage, from anti drone gun mishaps to a very concerning candy bar, and swap plenty of dark humor about boot camp, drill instructors, and the joys of base gate security. There is also a surprise BBQ rub business update from the home front. It is part war story night, part buddy comedy, and a reminder that these two never really left the fight, they just talk about it now with better coffee.

That's the bird tank!" Minseo led Jiho excitedly.Ko: 그런 그녀를 따라가면서도 지호의 마음 한편엔 두려움이 싹터 있었습니다.En: Following her, Jiho still felt a hint of fear growing inside him.Ko: 큰 상어 수조 앞에 서있을 생각에 지호는 살짝 얼굴이 굳어졌습니다.En: Thinking about standing in front of the large shark tank, Jiho's face slightly tensed up.Ko: 학생들이 하나둘씩 상어 수조로 향하면서, 지호의 마음은 더욱 조여왔습니다.En: As the students headed one by one towards the shark tank, Jiho's anxiety grew even stronger.Ko: 그러나 민서의 행복한 얼굴을 보니 어쩐지 용기가 생겼습니다.En: However, upon seeing Minseo's happy face, Jiho somehow felt courage building up.Ko: '그래, 이번 기회에 내 두려움을 극복해보자,' 지호는 속으로 다짐했습니다.En: 'Alright, let's use this opportunity to overcome my fear,' Jiho resolved internally.Ko: 두 친구는 손을 잡고 터널 속으로 들어갔습니다.En: The two friends held hands and entered the tunnel.Ko: 물고기가 머리 위로 헤엄쳐 다니는 모습은 그야말로 장관이었습니다.En: The sight of fish swimming overhead was truly a spectacle.Ko: 하지만 그 순간, 크고 무서운 상어가 지호와 민서 머리 위로 유유히 지나갔습니다.En: But at that moment, a large and scary shark leisurely swam over Jiho and Minseo's heads.Ko: 지호는 순간 숨이 막히는 듯 했습니다.En: Jiho felt like he couldn't breathe for a moment.Ko: "지호, 괜찮아? 상어는 그냥 물고기일 뿐이야. 괜찮아, 함께 하잖아." 민서가 진지하게 말했습니다.En: "Jiho, are you okay? A shark is just a fish. It's alright, we're here together." Minseo spoke sincerely.Ko: 지호는 민서의 말을 들으니 마음이 조금씩 편해졌습니다.En: Hearing Minseo's words, Jiho gradually felt more at ease.Ko: 그녀가 손을 꼭 잡아주자 지호는 마음을 다잡고 다시 수조를 바라보았습니다.En: As she held his hand tightly, Jiho gathered his thoughts and looked back at the tank.Ko: 시간이 흐르면서 지호는 이곳이 얼마나 아름다운지 느낄 수 있었습니다.En: As time went on, Jiho began to realize how beautiful this place was.Ko: 환상적인 물속 세상이 두렵기보다 신비롭다는 생각이 들었습니다.En: The underwater world seemed more mystical than frightening.Ko: 민서는 지호에게 미소를 지었고, 지호는 자신도 모르게 미소로 답했습니다.En: Minseo smiled at Jiho, and he unknowingly returned the smile.Ko: 그날 이후 지호는 물에 대한 두려움을 조금씩 극복하기 시작했습니다.En: After that day, Jiho slowly began to overcome his fear of water.Ko: 민서의 도움으로 그는 두려움이 아닌 아름다움에 집중할 수 있게 되었습니다.En: Thanks to Minseo's help, he was able to focus on the beauty rather than the fear.Ko: 두려움을 친구와 나누니 오히려 마음이 가벼워지는 기분이 들었습니다.En: Sharing his fears with a friend made him feel lighter in spirit.Ko: 아쿠아리움을 나온 지호는 민서에게 말했습니다. "다음에 또 오자! 이번엔 더 많은 것들을 보자."En: As they left the aquarium, Jiho said to Minseo, "Let's come again next time! Let's see even more things."Ko: 민서는 크게 고개를 끄덕였고, 두 친구는 함께 나란히 걸어나갔습니다.En: Minseo nodded enthusiastically, and the two friends walked out side by side.Ko: 그렇게 지호는 두려움도 친구와 나눌 수 있다는 것을 배웠습니다.En: In this way, Jiho learned that fears could be shared with a friend.Ko: 그리고 그 친구 덕분에 더 큰 세계를 경험하게 되었습니다.En: And thanks to that friend, he was able to experience a larger world.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome Robert Newman to the scuttlebutt. Robert is a retired Marine and author of the book, Guerillas in the Mist. As you will hear, he definitely gives the Dos Equis guy a run for his money on being the most interesting man alive. Joining the Marine Corps in the 70s, he started as a mortarman but quickly moved over to Recon. From there, he ended up in Germany in 1983, working for the Beirut Casualty Assistance Office. He then developed the curriculum for the small boat over-the-horizon amphibious raid package, eventually moving on to become one of the first Marine SERE instructors at the Navy SERE School in Maine. As you can surmise from the title of his book, he now works and advises in the world of counterinsurgency, appearing on multiple news outlets and publications. Robert talks to us about his path to the yellow footprints, shares some anecdotes from his amazing career, and gives us an analysis on the Iran conflict. This was recorded back in early June, so the landscape in the Middle East is much different than it was back then, so where we got it right…ish and where we got it wrong. It'll be a fun little game of To Quagmire or Not to Quagmire. Enjoy! The post #253: Guerillas in the Mist with Robert Newman first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

Joining the Marine Corps in the 70s, he started as a mortarman but quickly moved over to Recon. From there, he ended up in Germany in 1983, working for the Beirut Casualty Assistance Office. He then developed the curriculum for the small boat over-the-horizon amphibious raid package, eventually moving on to become one of the first Marine SERE instructors at the Navy SERE School in Maine. As you can surmise from the title of his book, he now works and advises in the world of counterinsurgency, appearing on multiple news outlets and publications. Robert talks to us about his path to the yellow footprints, shares some anecdotes from his amazing career, and gives us an analysis on the Iran conflict. This was recorded back in early June, so the landscape in the Middle East is much different than it was back then, so where we got it right…ish and where we got it wrong. It'll be a fun little game of To Quagmire or Not to Quagmire. Enjoy! The post #253: Guerillas in the Mist with Robert Newman first appeared on Marine Corps Association.
In this episode of Mission Matters, Adam Torres interviews Justin Marrero live from the Texas FFA Convention in Fort Worth, Texas.

James opens the conversation with Pastor Jimmy Williams and Reverend Glenn Cox by joking about academic “intensives,” which leads Jimmy to compare theological training and discipleship to the intensity of Marine boot camp, emphasizing fundamentals, discipline, and eventual mastery in the Christian life. A listener's two-part question then frames the core discussion: is the goal of salvation primarily going to heaven or bringing glory to God, and does church attendance truly matter and why? Jimmy unpacks this by arguing that believers serve God not to earn heaven or merely to give Him glory, but because in relationship with God they find wholeness, the ability to forgive, and freedom from letting others “live in your brain rent free,” with works flowing as a product of that relationship rather than a means of salvation. The episode closes by stressing the importance of fellowship and accountability (even outside formal church settings) and exploring how many people seek identity in places like the LBGTQ community instead of in Christ, tying personal testimonies of forgiveness and ongoing Bible study back to the central question of why and how we believe. Don't miss it!

Les États-Unis durcissent encore un peu plus leur politique migratoire. Après les arrestations devant les tribunaux où des migrants se rendaient pour répondre à une convocation pour étudier leur dossier, place désormais aux interpellations dans les aéroports. Plusieurs médias américains révèlent cette nouvelle manière de procéder de l'ICE, la police anti-immigration, nous explique Marine de La Moissonnière du service international de RFI. On savait que l'ICE intervenait dans les aéroports du pays, depuis quelques mois, pour arrêter des étrangers sous le coup d'une mesure d'expulsion. La nouveauté, c'est que la police anti-immigration interpelle désormais des gens dont le visa a expiré, mais qui ne sont pas sous le coup d'une obligation de quitter les États-Unis, y compris des personnes dont la procédure de renouvellement du visa est à l'étude. L'administration Trump fait également pression sur les étrangers en leur infligeant des amendes : 998 dollars par jour passé aux États-Unis sans papiers. C'est autorisé par la loi depuis 1996. Mais avant Donald Trump, jamais aucun président des États-Unis n'avait utilisé cette arme. Impossible de savoir combien de personnes ont préféré rentrer dans leur pays d'origine, faute de pouvoir payer. Enfin, Washington a annoncé hier (mardi 28 juillet 2026) une réforme de la procédure de demande d'asile qui est entrée en vigueur immédiatement. Désormais, les dossiers de certains demandeurs d'asile seront directement traités par un juge, parfois même sans les entendre. Auparavant, tous les demandeurs d'asile avaient un premier rendez-vous avec un agent des services de l'immigration, dans un bureau. Ce n'est qu'en cas de rejet de leur dossier qu'ils voyaient un juge qui pouvait ordonner leur renvoi des États-Unis. Présenté comme une simplification de la procédure, ce changement devrait surtout permettre d'accélérer l'expulsion de centaines de milliers de demandeurs d'asile. Le difficile labeur des agriculteurs haïtiens Plus de la moitié de la population haïtienne se trouve en insécurité alimentaire aiguë, selon la FAO. Alors que près de la moitié des produits alimentaires consommés dans le pays sont importés et souvent trop chers, l'agriculture locale peine à se développer : elle emploie près de 60% de la population, mais ne représente que 20% du PIB d'Haïti. Elle est frappée durement par le changement climatique. Louise Jouveshomme a pu s'entretenir avec des agriculteurs qui lui ont raconté devoir faire face à des sécheresses et des inondations de plus en plus fréquentes. Ils dénoncent également le manque de soutien des pouvoirs publics. Un abandon qui remonte aux années 80 lorsque les grandes institutions monétaires, comme le FMI ou la Banque mondiale, conditionnent leur soutien économique à l'ouverture d'Haïti au commerce mondial. Pour tenter d'enrayer cette crise, il existe des initiatives locales comme celles lancées par le MPP, le Mouvement paysan papaye, basées sur l'entraide entre paysans et le respect de l'environnement.

About 130 days a year, a research vessel leaves Miami and sets out to catch, measure, sample, tag, and release sharks in Florida's coastal waters. Over the course of a year, they'll encounter about 600 animals in a process called “fisheries independent monitoring,” an effort to gather data on sea creatures that isn't skewed by changes in fishing procedures, equipment, or regulations. Marine conservation biologist Catherine Macdonald leads the lab behind that effort. She joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about shark conservation, share stories from her research, and spread shark joy. Guest: Dr. Catherine Macdonald is a marine conservation biologist and director of the Shark Research and Conservation Program, part of the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science at the University of Miami.

Send us Fan MailPeaches is back with the Daily Drop for 28 July, covering Army vehicle prototypes, command and control testing, Navy vaccine and transfer policy updates, Marine drone experiments, Coast Guard counter-UUV efforts, testosterone screenings, Iran operations, and some very questionable budget math.The Army is moving forward with Infantry Squad Vehicle Heavy prototypes while Project Convergence prepares to stress-test next-generation command and control gear in the Mojave Desert. The Navy reinstated flu vaccine requirements for certain sailors and changed transfer policy after a sailor's death, while the USS George Washington strike group is operating in the South China Sea.The Marine Corps is experimenting with medium-sized drones that can launch one-way attack drones, and Marines also tested drone delivery of simulated refrigerated blood during an Australia exercise. Peaches ties that into real-world medical drone delivery and what it could mean for dispersed battlefield sustainment.The Air Force clarified again that waist-to-height ratio measurements will not be scored during the initial rollout, while B-52 modernization remains on cost and schedule after a test aircraft crash. The Coast Guard is looking for technology to detect and defeat unmanned underwater vehicles, because drone swarms are not just an air problem anymore.The episode also covers Pete Hegseth's testosterone screening initiative for service members over 30, the Pentagon's $7 billion Oracle contract, Trump's warning on Iran talks, reclassified Iran war fatalities, one-way surface drones used against Iranian ports, ongoing boat strikes against alleged drug vessels, and Zelensky warning that North Korea may send 30,000 more troops to support Russia.Links:TastyGains.comOperatorTrainingSummit.comOnesReady.comChapters:00:00 - Intro and Daily Drop01:07 - Tasty Gains01:42 - Army Selects ISV Heavy Prototype Companies02:25 - Project Convergence and Next-Gen Command and Control03:23 - Army Pacific Best Squad Competition03:57 - Navy Reinstates Flu Vaccine Requirements05:44 - Navy Changes Transfer Policy After Sailor Death07:18 - USS George Washington in the South China Sea07:50 - Marine Drone Launching One-Way Attack Drone08:58 - Marines Test Drone Blood Delivery in Australia10:18 - Operator Training Summit San Diego and Pennsylvania11:12 - What OTS Is and Is Not12:49 - Air Force Waist-to-Height Ratio Will Not Be Scored13:54 - B-52 Modernization Stays on Schedule14:20 - Coast Guard Seeks Counter-Underwater Drone Tech15:13 - New Cutter Squadron in the Western Pacific15:39 - Pete Hegseth Announces Testosterone Screenings16:21 - Why Testosterone Testing Matters17:09 - Operator Syndrome and Low Testosterone18:29 - Pentagon Awards $7 Billion Oracle Contract19:06 - Why the Oracle Math Does Not Math19:48 - Trump Warns Iran if Talks Fail20:17 - Pentagon Reclassifies Iran War Fatalities21:44 - One-Way Surface Drones Hit Iranian Ports22:17 - U.S. Boat Strikes and Drug Trafficking ROI24:15 - Zelensky Warns North Korea May Send More Troops24:52 - Ones Ready Membership and Merch Restock26:03 - Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Taking off the uniform can leave a man wondering where he fits next. The rank is gone. The built-in mission is gone. The people around you may respect that you served, but they do not always understand what that service cost or why civilian life can feel so strange afterward. John Smith knows that feeling. After 20 years in the Marine Corps, retiring as a Master Sergeant, he had to face one of the hardest parts of transition: figuring out who he was without the uniform doing the talking for him. In this conversation, John opens up about identity after service, faith, family, divorce, deployments, pride, purpose, and learning how to ask for help instead of carrying everything alone. This episode also gets into why veteran stories matter. Through his podcast, The Unsung Veteran, John gives other veterans a place to talk about more than their MOS, rank, or years served. He wants to understand the person behind the service, including the struggles they still carry today. That includes PTSD, TBI, addiction, failed businesses, transition problems, VA struggles, and the search for meaning after the military. For any veteran who misses the camaraderie, feels disconnected from civilian life, or is trying to rebuild their sense of purpose around faith, family, and service, this conversation offers a reminder that the uniform may come off, but the mission can continue in a new way. And because no veteran conversation is complete without some humor, John closes with the call sign story he rarely tells and a nickname that followed him longer than he wanted.

Marine Corps veteran Keith Johnson served as an electronics surveillance operator during the Vietnam era, intercepting Russian military communications from a highly classified communications center in Morocco. Assigned to 2nd Radio Battalion, Keith monitored the Russian Black Sea Fleet while working inside a facility containing sensitive military intelligence, classified messages, and enormous quantities of explosives.But Keith's Marine Corps story didn't begin at boot camp…It began with a brutal childhood in Chicago.At only six years old, Keith sat in a courtroom and testified against the stepfather who had violently beaten his mother. He grew up surrounded by alcoholism, abuse, street violence, broken trust, and moments that would remain burned into his memory for the rest of his life.And somehow… he refused to let any of it destroy what was good in him.In today's Urban Valor episode, Keith shares how he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, became a squad leader during boot camp, stood against violent “blanket parties,” and discovered that real leadership wasn't always about using more force.Sometimes, strength meant protecting the person everyone else wanted to punish.Keith later became a Marine Corps electronics surveillance operator with a top-secret security clearance. While many of his friends received orders to Vietnam, Keith was sent to North Africa, where he helped process sensitive military communications and intercept activity from the Russian Black Sea Fleet during the Cold War.His stories range from the deadly serious…To a care package filled with popcorn and mold-covered pepperoni that somehow became a feast for an entire barracks.Yeah… this interview takes a few turns.Keith also opens up about heartbreak, anger, faith, suicidal thoughts, brotherhood, and the deeper reason he believes he was prevented from going to Vietnam.Today, he continues serving others through prison ministry, Bible studies, veteran organizations, scholarships, military funerals, and support for people who feel like society has left them behind.This isn't simply a Marine Corps story.It's a story about surviving violence without becoming consumed by it…Leading without abandoning people…Finding purpose after pain…And learning that sometimes the hardest person to save is yourself.
A gun shop in Fallbrook got an email offering them money to give away lockboxes to active duty military. Their first reaction was the same one you are having right now: this smells like a Moms Demand Action front. So Jason Martin and his crew did the sensible thing. They dug into it before saying yes. What they found is a suicide prevention program called Pause to Protect, run through the University of Colorado and funded by the Department of War. A Marine walks in, shows an active duty ID, and walks out with a lockbox. No application, no paperwork, no personal information collected, nothing that looks like a registry. Jason sat on a panel of shop owners from around the country who all came in skeptical and came out of it the same way he did. Michael takes the whole thing apart on air, piece by piece, and lands where a lot of you will land: a free safe for a Marine is just a good deal. The part almost nobody talks about is in there too. Service members living in the barracks still have nowhere legal to keep a firearm, because no base in Navy Region Southwest has actually built a plan around the order allowing troops to carry on base. The rest of the show is stacked. Hawaii answered the Wolford decision by handing out free "no guns" signs to businesses, so the crew walks through what one of those signs actually does and does not do to you legally, in Hawaii and in California. AR-15s are back on Virginia shelves after the injunction. Michael has the update on Renna, the roster case he is a named plaintiff in, including the newly added AB 1127 Glock claim and the motion for summary judgment, plus why the Miller case still matters even after the Supreme Court takes up two assault weapons bans. Sam gets stumped (sort of) by a machine gun that only fires one round per trigger pull. Michael makes the case that protests do not work and lays out what does: elections, lawsuits, and culture. And Alisha closes with the story out of Cerritos, where a concealed carry holder stopped a man with a knife in the middle of a Sunday lunch rush in Los Angeles County.

As military operations against Iran enter what appears to be an operational pause, the broader regional conflict is expanding in dangerous and unexpected ways. In this episode of STRAT, retired Marine intelligence officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examines how Tehran is widening the battlefield by empowering its Houthi proxies to disrupt critical maritime chokepoints while drawing Saudi Arabia into more direct combat. Hal analyzes the strategic importance of the Bab el Mandeb Strait, the Strait of Hormuz, and the growing threats to global energy markets and international shipping. He also explores Ukraine's unprecedented drone strikes against Iran-Russia military logistics in the Caspian Sea, highlighting how the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are increasingly converging into a single strategic contest. Finally, Hal assesses reports of new Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and explains why the current pause in military operations could rapidly give way to renewed kinetic action across multiple theaters.Takeaways:Iran has transformed the Houthis into a more direct operational extension of the IRGC, expanding Tehran's military reach beyond its borders.Simultaneous threats to the Bab el Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hormuz place unprecedented pressure on global shipping and energy supplies.Saudi Arabia has shifted from defensive measures to direct military operations against Houthi positions and Iranian-backed infrastructure.The Red Sea has become a central battlefield affecting international commerce, oil exports, and regional security.Ukraine's drone strikes in the Caspian Sea demonstrate the growing intersection between the Ukraine war and Iran's regional ambitions.Russia's military partnership with Iran continues to blur the lines between the European and Middle Eastern conflicts.Any confirmed Iranian mining or attacks in the Strait of Hormuz could quickly end the current operational pause and trigger broader military action.The emerging conflict is no longer confined to isolated regions but is evolving into a connected, multi-theater strategic confrontation with global consequences.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #Iran #MiddleEast #RedSea #Houthis #IRGC #SaudiArabia #StraitOfHormuz #BabElMandeb #Ukraine #Russia #CaspianSea #MaritimeSecurity #GlobalShipping #EnergySecurity #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity
REDIFF - En 2026, la Marine nationale fête ses 400 ans. Parmi ses grandes figures, un parcours fait date : celui d'Anne Cullerre, première femme vice-amiral de toute l'histoire de la Marine française. Engagée pendant 35 ans, elle a commandé des frégates et conduit des opérations majeures, de la dépollution après le naufrage du pétrolier Prestige à la lutte contre la piraterie dans l'océan Indien. Stratège reconnue, elle devient en 2015 la femme la plus gradée de la Marine nationale. Aujourd'hui retraitée, elle revient sur le commandement, la vie embarquée et ce que signifie ouvrir la voie aux autres femmes dans un univers encore largement masculin.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Hier, dimanche 26 juillet 2026, Brasilia a rappelé son ambassadeur à Buenos Aires. L'ambassadeur argentin au Brésil, lui, a été convoqué par le ministère des Affaires étrangères brésilien. À l'origine de cette dispute entre les deux voisins, il y a les propos tenus par Javier Milei ce week-end. Samedi, à Sao Paulo, lors de l'investiture de Flavio Bolsonaro comme candidat des conservateurs à la présidentielle d'octobre, le président argentin d'extrême droite a traité son homologue brésilien de gauche de « voleur », sans le nommer. Javier Milei s'en est aussi pris au juge de la Cour suprême brésilienne, Alexandre de Moraes. Dimanche, Javier Milei en a remis une couche. Il a accusé le Brésil, mais aussi le Mexique et le Parti démocrate des États-Unis d'être responsable d'une « campagne anti-argentine ». Les autorités brésiliennes n'ont pas apprécié ce qu'elles qualifient de « propos offensants » et elles l'ont fait savoir. Les relations entre Lula et Javier Milei n'ont jamais été bonnes. Mais jamais auparavant - jamais même depuis le retour de la démocratie dans les deux pays - la situation n'avait été aussi tendue, explique Marine de La Moissonnière, journaliste au service international de RFI. Haïti : élections présidentielle et législatives le 13 décembre En Haïti, s'achemine-t-on, du moins sur le papier, vers l'organisation des élections ? Ce week-end, le Conseil électoral provisoire a transmis au gouvernement un nouveau calendrier électoral. Le premier tour des élections présidentielle et législatives est fixé au 13 décembre prochain. Dans ce document, l'organe électoral prévoit également la publication des résultats définitifs le 7 mars 2027. Un calendrier qui suscite déjà des réactions à Port-au-Prince. Si certains citoyens disent attendre ces scrutins, d'autres se montrent très sceptiques. Correspondance de Peterson Luxama.

We discuss his beautiful new book, The Radiant Sea, and explore the complex engineering and high-sensitivity optics required to capture living deep-sea creatures. Steve walks us through the evolutionary logic of biological light, how vantablack organisms trap photons in the dark, the horizontal sun-compass navigation of jellyfish blooms, and what it's like to play games underwater with giant Pacific octopuses and jumbo squids. Dr. Steven Haddock is a Senior Scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and an adjunct professor at UC Santa Cruz.

Pags reacts to a bombshell memo alleging the Biden administration was prepared to leave President Trump with an even bigger immigration crisis, asking whether the chaos at the border was part of the plan all along. Pags argues the left was never truly interested in helping migrants—they were interested in political power. He also breaks down Joe Manchin's latest political move as the former Democrat launches a new independent effort that could shake up Washington, and the crew debates whether Hollywood's new adaptation of The Odyssey is worth watching despite criticism over some "woke" creative choices. Then, Marine veteran and attorney John Deaton joins the program to explain why he's taking on Sen. Ed Markey in Massachusetts. Can a Republican finally break decades of one-party dominance in one of America's bluest states? Deaton lays out his strategy, why he believes voters are ready for change, and why this race could become one of the biggest surprises of the election cycle. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we're firing up the smoker and hitting the water. First up, pulled pork tacos done right — the rub, the low-and-slow cook, the bark, and how to build a taco that doesn't fall apart in your hands. Then we go down a rabbit hole most people wouldn't expect: what jiu jitsu and fishing actually have in common. Patience, reading your opponent (or the water), staying calm when things get tense, and knowing when to grind versus when to go for the finish. Grab a taco, grab a rod, and take it to the lake.
What does 1 Timothy 3 have to say to everyday dads? In this episode of the Father On Purpose Podcast, Kent and Lawson unpack Paul's qualifications for church leaders and explain why they also provide a powerful picture of biblical fatherhood. Traits like self-control, gentleness, faithfulness, hospitality, integrity, and managing your household well are not just standards for pastors and deacons—they are qualities every Christian dad should pursue. Kent and Lawson also discuss what happens when dads fall short, why failure does not automatically disqualify you from leading your family, and how God's grace empowers men to repent, grow, and keep moving forward. You'll learn how to study Scripture more carefully, accept honest feedback, lead without relying on your own strength, and become the kind of man your wife, children, church, and community can trust. If you want to become a more intentional Christian father, lead your home well, and grow in biblical character, this conversation through 1 Timothy 3 will challenge and encourage you. In this episode: What 1 Timothy 3 teaches about biblical leadership Why church leadership qualifications matter for dads How to manage your household well The difference between making a mistake and living in a pattern of sin Why Christian fathers must lead through the power of the Holy Spirit How to respond when you fail as a husband or father Practical ways to become a better student of the Bible Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky. Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.
Jeremy Knauff spent nearly two decades building a successful marketing agency — until a severe health crisis nearly killed him and took the business down with it. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, the U.S. Marine Corps veteran and founder of Spartan Media shares what it was like to lose everything, the autoimmune condition that brought him to the edge, and the moment a fellow Marine's suicide became the turning point that changed how he showed up in the world.Jeremy walks us through exactly how he rebuilt his authority from zero: writing his way onto top podcasts and into outlets like Forbes and Entrepreneur, then multiplying every feature into a network of content across social and video. We also dig into what "authority" means now that AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are the ones vetting experts before a journalist — or a client — ever does, and why pay-to-play media features can quietly work against you.If you're rebuilding after a setback, or wondering how to be findable and credible in an AI-driven world, this episode is your roadmap.In this episode:How a health crisis and years of chronic pain nearly ended Jeremy's career — and his lifeThe fellow Marine's suicide that became his turning pointThe exact content strategy that took him from invisible to Forbes and EntrepreneurHow to turn one media feature into dozens of pieces of contentWhat "authority" means when AI tools are the ones evaluating youWhy fake/pay-to-play media features can hurt more than they helpThe mindset shift that keeps you moving when you want to quitConnect with Jeremy:https://spartanmedia.com/Connect with Sabine:https://sabinekvenberg.com/resources
A Marine officer, professional MMA fighter, and jiu-jitsu practitioner came home from his third combat deployment in Mosul and sat down at a table with a loaded Glock. His mother called his phone at the exact second he began to pull the trigger. Joe De Sena sits down with Lee Stuckey, founder of America's Heroes Enjoying Recreation Outdoors (AHERO), a nonprofit that has served over 13,000 veterans and stopped more than 600 suicides in 16 years. Lee breaks down how he rebuilt after nearly taking his own life, why he swapped every toxic relationship in his circle for someone healthy, and how a four-pillar framework became the structure that holds his life together. Things You Will Learn: Why controlling your environment and your circle changes your trajectory faster than willpower alone. The four-pillar framework Lee Stuckey uses to audit his physical, financial, emotional, and spiritual health every week. What a one-for-one relationship swap looks like and why it forces accountability into your daily life. Tools & Frameworks Covered: One-for-One Swap: Remove one parasitic or toxic relationship and deliberately replace it with someone who helps you grow across four pillars.

In this conversation, Jason and his son, Ethan, sit down with Jim Lovejoy for an honest, deeply personal discussion about leaving behind performance-based Christianity and discovering the freedom of beloved identity. Jimmy shares his remarkable journey from Marine, coach, and revival-driven evangelist to a father, mentor, and voice calling people into rest, family, and the love of God. The guys explore the difference between striving and learning, revival and reformation, church as an event versus church as family, and why the future of the Kingdom may look more like fire pits, shared meals, and authentic relationships than polished stages. If you've ever wondered whether God's love is bigger than your performance, this conversation offers hope, healing, and a fresh vision of what it means to follow Jesus.For more info on Jim: https://www.thenorthgateoh.com/JOIN A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://dashing-field-76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wtoJOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis SEND A DONATION!!https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8
The Arctic serves as the world's refrigerator, keeping the planet cool. But temperatures in the Arctic are rising nearly four times faster than the rest of the world and its sea ice is near a historic low. We put out a call to scientists aboard research vessels currently sailing in the Arctic Ocean, and two answered “aye.” Hear our ship-to-shore conversations with them about how warmer temperatures affect life on land and sea. Plus, a biologist who recently returned from the field describes how he inadvertently stumbled upon surprising data during his decades-long study of polar bears. Guests: Autun Purser – Marine biologist at the Alfred- Wegener Institute and the current Chief Scientist on the Arctic research vessel, the Polarstern Andrew Derocher – Zoologist at the University of Alberta in Canada who is leading a decades-long study on polar bears of the West Hudson Bay region, in the high Canadian North Jonathan Nash – Oceanographer, Oregon State University, and member of the GIANT team sailing near Greenland aboard the RRS Sir David Attenborough Descripción en español Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.

In this powerful episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Katie Bagosy to share a deeply personal story of love, loss, and purpose. Katie opens up about her husband's service as a Marine, his struggles with PTSD and traumatic brain injury after deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and the heartbreaking circumstances that led to his death. Through her experience, she highlights the urgent need for better mental health support and accountability within the system. Today, Katie channels that loss into action—working with Concerned Veterans for America to advocate for improved access to care and elevate the voices of veterans and their families. She shares how listening, community, and breaking the stigma around mental health can save lives.
