Last night Trump was booed at Madison Square Garden and fell asleep in his luxury box during the NBA Finals. Taxpayer money paid for the whole spectacle while American paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne sit in Israel waiting for Netanyahu's order to storm Kharg Island.. The Albanians are handling their business and beat us to 110, while Zionist traitors sign away American blood and our military to Israel. Jeff Berwick joins me to expose this fake Rothschild outpost that's merged with America — time to wake up, get a plasma machine, build resilience at TZLA.club, and start acting like the Albanians before these parasites drag us into the abyss.

Emmet Kennedy, Georgia Cox, Jaime Wrenn and Jack Veitch preview all eight Group 1 races at Royal Ascot, identifying the strongest betting angles, value selections and most likely winners at the biggest Flat meeting of the year.

Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

If you like to take a short nap during the day you might be doing your brain a favor. According to a study published in the journal Sleep Health in June of 2023, people who have a genetic predisposition to napping regularly have larger brain volumes than those who don't. This suggests that napping may protect against brain shrinkage, which occurs faster in people with cognitive problems and neurodegenerative diseases. But before you rush to your bed or couch, there are some caveats to consider. What did the study find? How does napping protect against brain shrinkage? What are the optimal conditions for a nap? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Love Blossoms in Balaton: A Surprise Proposal Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-05-28-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Balaton és a NapsütésA Balaton partján, késő tavaszi napsütésben bújt meg a kék ég alatt egy kis hajó.En: **A Balaton és a Sunlight** By the Balaton shore, in the late spring sunshine, a small boat lay hidden beneath the blue sky.Hu: Bence, a csendes könyvesboltos, és Lilla, az energikus barátnője, izgatottan készültek a Pünkösdre.En: Bence, the quiet bookstore owner, and Lilla, his energetic girlfriend, were eagerly preparing for Pentecost.Hu: A tó ezüstös hullámai vidáman csapkodták a partot, és a zöldellő fák között színes virágok illatoztak.En: The silver waves of the lake playfully splashed against the shore, and colorful flowers scented the air among the lush green trees.Hu: Bence szeretett volna valami különlegeset tenni.En: Bence wanted to do something special.Hu: Elrejtett gondolatai a szívében nyugodtak: egy meglepetés eljegyzési gyűrű, ami ott lapult egy doboz mélyén.En: Hidden thoughts rested in his heart: a surprise engagement ring nestled deep within a box.Hu: Terve az volt, hogy egy kincsvadászat során, finoman és ügyesen, átadja a gyűrűt Lillának.En: His plan was to hand over the ring to Lilla during a treasure hunt, subtly and skillfully.Hu: De vajon sikerülhet-e?En: But would he succeed?Hu: Eszter, Lilla legjobb barátnője is csatlakozott a kalandhoz.En: Eszter, Lilla's best friend, also joined the adventure.Hu: Eszter mindig tudta, miként ébressze fel Lilla kalandvágyát.En: Eszter always knew how to spark Lilla's adventurous spirit.Hu: Az ünnepi hangulat a parton egyre nőtt, és Bence aggódott, hogy terve talán vakvágányra fut.En: The festive mood on the shore continued to grow, and Bence worried that his plan might run off track.Hu: Lilla, aki állandóan új élményekre várt, azt javasolta, menjenek fel egy kisebb hajóra a tó közepére.En: Lilla, always in search of new experiences, suggested that they board a smaller boat to the lake's center.Hu: Ott a kalandok mindig várakoztak.En: Adventures always awaited there.Hu: Bence óvatosan mosolygott, miközben magában számolgatta a felfedetlen nyomok rejtélyeit.En: Bence smiled cautiously while mentally counting the mysteries of the undiscovered clues.Hu: A hajó lassan úszott el a parttól.En: The boat slowly drifted away from the shore.Hu: A nap már közelebb volt az esti éghez, amikor a véletlen mindent megváltoztatott.En: The sun was already closer to the evening sky when a coincidence changed everything.Hu: Lilla a hajó kabinjában kutatni kezdett egy takarót, amikor valami meglepő dolgot talált.En: Lilla started searching for a blanket in the boat's cabin when she found something surprising.Hu: Egy pici, kifinomult doboz esett ki a fiókból, benne a gyűrűvel.En: A small, exquisite box fell out of the drawer, with the ring inside.Hu: A gyémánt csillogása elárulta a titkot.En: The diamond's sparkle revealed the secret.Hu: Lilla döbbenten nézett fel Bencére.En: Lilla looked up at Bence in astonishment.Hu: A romantikus oldalát, ami ritkán mutatkozott, most teljesen megértette.En: The romantic side of him, which seldom showed, was now fully understood.Hu: Bence zavarba jött, de mosolygott.En: Bence was embarrassed but smiled.Hu: "Ez nem így kellett volna megtörténjen" – suttogta.En: "This wasn't how it was supposed to happen," he whispered.Hu: A nap szinte elbújt a vízbe, a színekben fürdő horizontról csak a szél hozott hírt.En: The sun nearly dipped into the water, with only the breeze bringing news from the color-bathed horizon.Hu: Bence mély levegőt vett, és lassan letérdelt Lilla előtt, épp ott, a hajó fedélzetén.En: Bence took a deep breath and slowly kneeled before Lilla right there on the boat deck.Hu: „Lilla, veled akarom eltölteni az életem.En: "Lilla, I want to spend my life with you.Hu: Meglepetés vagy sem, akarlak, hogy az életem része legyél.En: Surprise or not, I want you to be a part of my life.Hu: Leszel a feleségem?En: Will you be my wife?"Hu: ” – kérdezte, miközben Lilla szemébe nézett.En: he asked, looking into Lilla's eyes.Hu: Lilla szeme könnybe lábadt, amint megérezte Bence szeretetének mélységét.En: Lilla's eyes welled up with tears as she felt the depth of Bence's love.Hu: Azt hitte, a kalandok, amikre vágyott, meghatározottak, de most már tudta, hogy a legszebb kaland az, amit együtt fedeznek fel.En: She thought the adventures she longed for were defined, but now she knew that the most beautiful adventure was one they would discover together.Hu: Miközben a hajó álmosan himbálózott a vízen, Lilla halkan, de határozottan felelt: „Igen.En: As the boat lazily rocked on the water, Lilla softly but firmly replied, "Yes."Hu: ”A kaland és a romantika a Balaton vizén találkozott.En: Adventure and romance met on the waters of the Balaton.Hu: Bence és Lilla kapcsolata új szintre lépett, tele szeretettel és várakozással.En: Bence and Lilla's relationship reached a new level, filled with love and anticipation.Hu: Az éjszaka csendjében a Balaton vize tudta, most született meg valami időtlen és igaz.En: In the silence of the night, the waters of the Balaton knew that something timeless and true had just been born.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman chat once again with the fascinating Phil Haydon, a retired neuroscientist and experienced long-distance solo sailor.Having previously discussed his non-profit, Sail For Epilepsy, Phil returns to share invaluable insights gleaned from his professional expertise in brain science and his thousands of miles logged at sea. The conversation focuses on a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of long-distance sailing: sleep management and watch schedules.Phil explains the neuroscience of sleep in simple terms, using the analogy of a balloon filling with air (sleep pressure) to illustrate why consistent, strategic napping is crucial for safety and cognitive function on multi-day passages. He reveals that most human-error disasters, including high-profile events like the Challenger accident, involve sleep deprivation as a contributing factor. Listeners will learn practical tips for optimizing their own watch schedules, whether sailing solo or with a small crew, and the importance of banking rest before you need it.Key Takeaways & HighlightsThe Science of Sleep Aboard: Understand the "sleep homeostat" (sleep pressure) and how to manage it effectively while on watch.Short-Handed Preparedness: Phil emphasizes thinking ahead, preparing meals in advance, and having three to four contingency plans for every maneuverThe Danger of Fatigue: Learn why cognitive function is severely impaired when sleep-deprived and the real-world safety implications for sailors.Naps as a Strategy: Discover the power of "banking" sleep with short 10-minute naps or planned 90-100 minute cycles to avoid deep-sleep grogginess Real-World Application: Mike and Bela reflect on their own experiences crossing the challenging Gulf Stream or navigating crowded channels, highlighting how Phil's advice can be instantly applied.Resources MentionedSail For Epilepsy: Learn more about Phil's non-profit organization.Bermuda One-Two Race: A great training ground for solo and double-handed sailing out of Newport, Rhode Island.Connect with the Hosts: You can reach Bela and Mike via email at sailingtheeast@gmail.com.Enjoyed the episode?

The Gemara in Masechet Sukka (26a) instructs that one should not sleep during the day for a longer period than that which a horse sleeps, a duration of "sixty breaths." Rashi explains that sleeping during the day is not allowed because the daytime should be used constructively, for Torah learning. This is mentioned by subsequent writers, and brought as Halacha by the Shulhan Aruch. However, the Mahasit Ha'shekel (Rav Shmuel Kellin, 1724-1806) ruled that if a person needs to nap during the day to enhance his productivity, then this is allowed. For many people, daytime naps increase productivity, as it helps them accomplish more the rest of the day, after they wake up. According to this view, then, although in general one should not take a nap during the day, this is allowed if the objective is to be more alert and productive afterward. The Arizal taught that one must not sleep during the day under any circumstances, as this may cause damage to one's soul. However, the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in his Rav Pe'alim, writes that the Arizal's teaching applies only to the souls of the great Sadikim, which are on an especially high level of sanctity and are thus particularly sensitive. Such souls could be damaged by daytime naps. For us, however, this is not a concern. It is indeed customary in many yeshivot for the students to take a nap during the afternoon, as this significantly enhances the quality of their learning the rest of the afternoon and at night. For most students, the afternoon nap does not at all diminish from their productivity, as to the contrary, it enables them to accomplish far more than they would otherwise. Hacham Ovadia Yosef writes that while it is preferable to avoid napping during the day, this is certainly allowed if one's intention is not simply to relax, but to increase his productivity the rest of the day and in the evening.

After lunch, many of us get that familiar afternoon slump, an overwhelming urge to just doze off for a little while. And on weekends or during holidays, it's easy enough to sneak in a short nap. But at work, it's another story. Firstly, it simply wouldn't be practical in a lot of work environments, and even if it was, would you really dare to go for a kip in the middle of the work day? You might be afraid of incurring the wrath of your boss, or giving your colleagues the impression that you're a slacker. What's the ideal nap length then? So should we be encouraging napping in the workplace really then, rather than frowning upon it? What about longer naps?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

After landing three winning NAPs last weekend, including 16/1, 4/1 and the 9/1 winning NAP Soldier In Milan in the Irish Grand National, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman and Jaime Wrenn to preview the best bets for the Aintree Grand National meeting.

On October 14, 1987, Reba McClure and her eighteen-month-old daughter, Jessica, stopped by the Midland, Texas home of her sister for a visit. As Reba sat in the backyard watching Jessica play with some neighborhood children, she heard the phone ring and went inside to answer it. When McClure returned to the backyard a few minutes later, she saw the other children staring at the ground on the far-side of the yard, but Jessica was nowhere to be seen. To Reba McClure's absolute horror, while she was inside on the phone, Jessica had fallen twenty-feet down into the well on her sister's property and become lodged in a section only fourteen-inches wide. Rescue teams arrived at the house not long after Jessica fell into the well, but the situation proved far more complicated than anyone had expected; they needed to dig a parallel shaft to rescue the girl, but any amount of significant vibration in the earth could have collapsed the well entirely. In the early days of cable news twenty-four-hour news coverage, the rescue of Jessica McClure became one of the most watched events in the United States. However, while the rescue of the girl was everyone's primary concern, the wall-to-wall coverage itself quickly became a major part of the story, as ordinary smalltown Americans were shoved into the spotlight and questions over rights to the story (and rights to privacy) took center stage.
