Laura PArra, coordinadora del Proyecto "Únicas", nos hablan de la 5ª edición de esta iniciativa,fundamental del CERMI Región de Murcia dedicada a la defensa, el empoderamiento y la visibilización de las mujeres y niñas con discapacidad, así como de las mujeres que actúan como cuidadoras y asistentes principales en el ámbito de la discapacidad. En esta edición se están desarrollando los talleres de 'Unicas rural' donde por diversos pueblos y pedanías de la Región de Murcia están llevando la igualdad hasta las zonas rurales como son Corvera, Ricote, Zarcilla en Lorca o Santomera.Laura Parra nos cuenta que desde este proyecto se hace posible la inclusión de género desde la discapacidad porque 'creemos firmemente en la igualdad real y efectiva'. El proyecto nace de la necesidad de abordar la doble discriminación que a menudo sufren las mujeres por el hecho de ser mujeres y tener una discapacidad.El día 25 de Noviembre las integrantes del proyecto acudirán a la cita anual con CERMI-Mujeres en Valencia y el 28 de noviembre tendrá lugar el encuentro Regional en Murcia en el Centro Social de la Universidad de Murcia.

"Os órganos xudiciais do partido de Pontevedra rexistraron durante os primeiros seis meses deste ano un total de 165 denuncias por violencia de xénero". "A cifra de 12.976 agresores condenados con sentenza firme na última década en Galicia, é máis que importante". "Lembramos a Gisele Pelicot, que nos ensinou, nun caso de agresión sexual que conmocionou ao mundo, que a vergoña ten que cambiar de bando»". Os xulgados reciben 27 denuncias de violencia de xénero ao mes, un 6% máis O CGPJ contabiliza 165 casos nos órganos xudiciais de Pontevedra e só a metade son presentadas polas vítimas. Tamén aumentan as medidas de protección ditadas Os órganos xudiciais do partido de Pontevedra rexistraron durante os primeiros seis meses deste ano un total de 165 denuncias por violencia de xénero, segundo o Informe trimestral sobre esta secuela elaborado polo Servizo de Estatística do Consello Xeral do Poder Xudicial para o Observatorio contra a Violencia Doméstica e de Xénero. Isto supón unha media de 27 casos ao mes, un aumento dun 6% con respecto ao mesmo período de 2024. Os datos chegan en vésperas do 25N, Día Internacional da Eliminación da Violencia contra a Muller. A cifra de 12.976 agresores condenados con sentenza firme na última década en Galicia, é máis que importante. En Galicia hanse rexistrado, no segundo trimestre do ano 2.051 denuncias por violencia de xénero, un 4,9% máis que no mesmo período de 2024, e os órganos xudiciais atenderon a un total de 1.862 vítimas, o que supuxo un incremento interanual do 1,1%. Case 7 de cada cen mulleres vítimas deste tipo de delitos (o 6,4%) acolléronse a dispénsaa do deber de prestar declaración. O Informe trimestral sobre violencia de xénero mostra tamén que o número de ordes de protección solicitadas practicamente mantívose, mentres que as acordadas entre abril e xuño aumentaron con respecto a 2024. Os xulgados de violencia sobre a muller da comunidade rexistraron 457 solicitudes de ordes de protección (un 0,9% menos), das que acordaron 312, o 68,2%. No 48% dos casos, a relación de parella (cónxuxe ou relación afectiva) mantíñase no momento de petición da orde de protección ao órgano xudicial. No caso do partido xudicial de Pontevedra, dos 165 casos denunciados a inmensa maioría, ao redor dun centenar, correspóndese con malos tratos e lesións, mentres que unha vintena son delitos contra a liberdade, preto de corenta son quebrantamentos de condena e o resto atentan contra a liberdade sexual e a honra. Un dato moi significativo é que as vítimas aínda parecen remisas a formular denuncias de forma inmediata. Só a metade das agredidas acudiu a esa vía e na maior parte dos casos tras o atestado policial, é dicir, pasado algún tempo desde a agresión. Do mesmo xeito que aumentaron un 6% as denuncias, tamén creceu o número de ordes xudiciais de protección, ata as 31. A Violencia Machista é a violencia exercida polos homes contra as mulleres polo feito de selo.

In this message from Romans 13, we're reminded of a truth that often challenges us deeply — that God calls us to honor and submit to the governing authorities He has placed over us. Pastor Jim Schultz gently walks us through Paul's teaching to the church in Rome, written during the cruel reign of Nero, and helps us see that obedience to this command is not about blind loyalty to human rulers, but about faithful trust in God's sovereignty.As followers of Jesus, we are called to live with integrity, humility, and respect — even when it's difficult. This sermon invites us to reflect on how our words, actions, and attitudes toward authority reveal our relationship with God. Join us as we learn how to live as good citizens, love our neighbors, and honor those in leadership, while standing firmly for truth and trusting in God's perfect justice.
En una entrevista concedida al programa El Pulso de la Vida de Radio Dynamis, Daniel Villavicencio —afiliado del Partido del Trabajo y actual Secretario Interventor en una entidad local de la Comunidad de Madrid— expresa su preocupación por la influencia de los postulados LGTBIQ+ en el ámbito educativo. Como padre, ciudadano y cristiano evangélico, Villavicencio plantea un llamado a la reflexión sobre el derecho de los padres a educar según sus convicciones, respaldado por la Constitución Española y la Declaración de los Derechos Humanos. Señala que existen más de veinte leyes LGTBI y trans en vigor en España, muchas de las cuales afectan a la educación sin haber pasado por debate público suficiente. Durante su intervención, advierte sobre los efectos de las charlas afectivosexuales impartidas en centros educativos sin consentimiento de los padres, que —según argumenta— introducen ideología de género desde edades tempranas. También aborda los riesgos físicos y psicológicos asociados a los procesos de transición médica en menores. Villavicencio subraya la necesidad de una educación objetiva, libre de dogmatismos, e insta a las autoridades a respetar el derecho constitucional de las familias. Como propuesta, el partido Fiel aboga por la derogación de las leyes que considera ideológicas y lesivas para la infancia.

00:00 – Intro & Banter DJz and Griffin open with a lighthearted “yo” exchange before diving into the day's topic: the November Arc Launch. 02:30 – Outpost Overview & Patch Notes DJz confirms the new Outpost Exchange Material Refinery and material generators—now offering three upgrade brackets instead of two. 05:00 – Material Generators & Scaling Discussion of G5–G7 sourcing, how early-tier players benefit immediately, and why high-tier (G7) players face longer roads. 06:45 – Outpost Fleet Slots Correction DJz admits his earlier info was off: the fourth ship slot won't arrive this month, only two at level 1 and a third unlocked at level 40. 08:30 – Upgrade Value & Player Expectations They predict most players will reach levels 15–20 early, with strong emphasis on the building's buffs and resource bonuses. 09:50 – How Retaliation Targets Work Explaining the new “retaliation target” type—distinct from hostiles or armadas. Only generic officers (e.g., Khan, Nero, Gorkon) will work. 11:00 – Crewing Strategies & Classic Combos Old-school crews like Kirk/Spock/Yuki resurface. Voyager crews, strike teams, and others won't trigger their abilities here. 12:45 – Outpost Mechanics Explained Players use two ships to seize an outpost, then defend it from 72 retaliation waves (five minutes apart) over about five hours. 16:00 – Passive vs. Active Gameplay The defense runs automatically—no need to trigger waves manually. Buffs can be activated mid-battle for stat boosts or mining bonuses. 19:00 – Buff Currency & Strategy Rewards go directly to inventory, not cargo. Players can bank currency for future runs to maximize buffs on the next outpost. 22:00 – Outpost Buff Types & Factions Each target faction (Cardassian, Borg, Node) offers unique buff categories—PvE, utility, and PvP respectively. 25:00 – Leaving or Losing Outposts Leaving ends your buffs immediately. Arena transfers or incursions also break outpost control; the veil and territories are safe. 29:00 – Start Timer Change & QA Notes Community discovers a 3-minute start timer instead of 1; DJz says it adds strategy but invites more PvP risk. Griffin reports a live bug: Away Teams are currently broken. 30:30 – Officer Discussion: Nog Nog's debut ties to his father Rom's legacy. DJz praises the lore while admitting limited gameplay utility unless base-raiding improves. 33:40 – Officer Discussion: The Hierarch Introduces “Carol Freeman 2.0?”—potentially a PvP counter, though effectiveness depends on high tiers. Artwork and narrative praised. 38:30 – New Max Ship XP Button (QoL Update) They test the new instant-max feature: convenient for scrapping but risky for free-to-play players due to auto-Latinum use. 44:50 – Who Benefits Most from Max-All Ideal for heavy spenders; free players must be cautious. Some want sliders added for smaller upgrades during events. 45:50 – Weekly Mission Rollouts & Bug Fixes Missions release weekly this arc; Scopely claims to fix veil recall daily bug and arena entry issue. 47:30 – Mid-Ops Experience Announcement Wardaddy returns to discuss a new mid-ops battle pass later this week, expanding mid-tier gameplay. 49:00 – Chaos Tech Review They dissect “Particle Synthesis” (loot and mining boosts) and “Biomimetic Gel” (PvP buffs). DJz clarifies the math—impressive numbers but balanced impact. 53:40 – New Primes for Outposts Three new primes enhance solo outpost assault, output, and retaliation rewards—though DJz warns their longevity is uncertain. 55:40 – Wrap-Up & Closing Remarks DJz and Griffin summarize the arc, thank listeners, and tease in-game lab testing later that night.
1. LONDINIUM 91 CE. Seven Warnings, Part I. Gaius and Germanicus, joined by retired centurions, convened at the Friends of History Debating Society to discuss Germanicus's list of seven maxims detailing how empires, specifically the US, engage in self-harm or self-destruction. Gaius offered the example of the emperor deciding Nigeria needs attention due to the killing of Christians, asserting America has no interest whatsoever in this venture. He contrasted this unnecessary entanglement with Rome's historical method of handling threats in its self-interest. Rome, when it decided to win, completely wiped out resisting enemies, as demonstrated by the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE and the earlier obliteration of Sepphoris, the capital of Galilee, around 4 BCE. The Romans even renamed Judea to Palestine to deny the populace their historical identity. Germanicus then presented the first four maxims routinely ignored by US war fighters: (1) Never let a foreign power define your interests and objectives—this warning cited historical entanglement examples, including the British in two World Wars and modern manipulation by Ukraine, NATO countries, and Israel; (2) Never let initial success fool you into thinking you're winning—Germanicus noted that this "victory disease" affected the Japanese after Pearl Harbor and the US during the invasion of Iraq and the initial stages of the Ukraine war; (3) The failure chosen now is always better than the failure forced upon you later—this maxim addresses the destructive "stay the course" mentality, exemplified by the Vietnam War, driven by courtiers worried about reputation rather than effectiveness; (4) Judgment of the enemy should not be confirmed by internal biases—this bias leads to disastrous strategy, such as the initial belief that the Japanese could not fly effectively due to poor eyesight, viewing Pearl Harbor as a "freak."

Sermon Summary: God & Caesar Mark 12:13–17 “Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words…” Jesus said to them, ‘Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.' And they were amazed at him.” – Mark 12:13–17 Introduction: When Our Allegiance Shifts Coleton began by connecting the ancient tension of Jesus' words to a very modern moment. He recalled the tragic event of September 10, 2025, when Charlie Kirk, a political activist, was shot and killed. What followed, Coleton said, was not just mourning, but division. Some celebrated, others grieved, and soon churches became battlefields of political expectation. In some congregations, people even walked out of worship services because their pastor didn't mention Charlie Kirk by name. Coleton made this sobering observation: “They didn't leave because Jesus wasn't worshiped. They didn't leave because the gospel wasn't preached. They left because another man's name wasn't mentioned.” And in doing so, Coleton said, “They rendered unto Caesar that which was God's.” They gave their allegiance — something meant for God alone — to another. We live in a time where the church wrestles to understand and live obediently to what Jesus says in this passage. Coleton gave background, teaching from Jesus, and challenges we face in obeying Jesus. 1. The Background: A Trap Disguised as a Question Coleton explained that this was no innocent question. The Pharisees and Herodians were political enemies — the Pharisees hated Roman control; the Herodians supported it. But they joined forces to trap Jesus. They asked, “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar?” If Jesus said yes, He'd lose favor with His Jewish followers. If He said no, He'd be accused of rebellion against Rome. Either way, they thought they had Him. The Tax and Its Offense Coleton quoted historian Mark Strauss to give context: “The coin bore the image of Tiberius Caesar with the words ‘Son of the divine Augustus.' This was idolatry — a direct violation of the first and second commandments.” For Jews, paying this tax wasn't just about money — it was about worship. Would they honor God or bow to Caesar? Coleton summarized it like this: “The Pharisees and Herodians are forcing Jesus to pick a side. But Jesus refuses their categories — and instead shows that His kingdom transcends them.” 2. What We Learn from Jesus' Answer When Jesus said, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's,” He wasn't being clever — He was being clear. Coleton said Jesus' words teach two essential truths. A. “Give to Caesar what is Caesar's” — Obedience without Idolatry Jesus acknowledges the legitimacy of human governments. Coleton quoted Mark Strauss again: “Jesus affirmed that Caesar has a legitimate claim, and so does God. Civil obedience does not contradict the obedience due to God — so long as God's rights are safeguarded.” That means we can pay taxes, show respect, obey laws, and honor leaders — as long as it doesn't lead us into disobedience to God. Coleton drew from Romans 13:1–7, where Paul commands believers to be subject to governing authorities because “there is no authority except that which God has established.” He reminded listeners: “You're not obeying Caesar because he deserves it — you're obeying God because He commands it.” The Egyptian Church Story Coleton shared a story from Pete Greig about the persecuted Coptic Christians in Egypt. When their churches were closed for nine years, they didn't riot. Instead, they turned every home into a church. When the ruler later walked the streets, he heard worship from every house and lifted the ban. “They gave Caesar the building, but they gave God their hearts,” Coleton said. “They rendered to Caesar what was Caesar's — but they never stopped giving to God what was God's.” That, he said, is true obedience: submission that never compromises worship. B. “Give to God what is God's” — Full Allegiance and Love “God gets the first and the most,” Coleton said. “Our heart, our mind, our strength, our time, our devotion — He gets it all first.” He reminded the church that even when rulers oppose God's ways, our loyalty remains fixed on Him. The early Christians refused to call Caesar “Lord,” even if it cost them their lives. Coleton quoted Bruce Shelley: “Had the Christians been willing to burn that pinch of incense and say ‘Caesar is Lord,' they could have worshiped Jesus freely. But they would not compromise.” “They would not render to Caesar what belonged to God,” Coleton emphasized. “Even if it cost them everything.” 3. The Challenge: When We Mix These Up Coleton said this is the heart of the problem today — we mix up what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God. A. When We Don't Like Caesar When we dislike our leaders, we justify disobedience. We dishonor, refuse to pray, or speak with contempt — forgetting that Scripture commands us to pray for all in authority. “Paul told Timothy to pray and give thanks for kings — and he wrote that while Nero was emperor, lighting Christians on fire for dinner parties,” Coleton said. 1 Timothy 2:1–4: “Pray for kings and all those in authority… This pleases God our Savior.” We don't do this because leaders deserve it. “We do it because God deserves our obedience,” Coleton said. “We render to Caesar out of allegiance to God.” B. When We Like Caesar Too Much But Coleton warned that a greater danger is when we like Caesar too much. When we admire a political figure or government so deeply that we defend them even when they oppose God's Word. “We give Caesar what belongs to God,” he said. “And it looks spiritual because we think we're defending good values — but our loyalty has shifted.” Coleton gave examples: Evangelism: When we share more about politics than about Jesus. Loyalty: When we defend a politician more fiercely than we defend Christ. Apologetics: When we can argue politics better than we can explain the gospel. Time and Attention: When we consume more news than Scripture. Discipleship: When parents disciple kids politically, not spiritually. Identity: When we look more American than Christian. Faith and Hope: When we trust a government more than God's kingdom. “When that happens,” Coleton said, “We stop being Christians who live in America and become Americans who call themselves Christian.” 4. Implications: You Won't Fit Neatly Anywhere Coleton said if you truly follow Jesus, you won't fit perfectly in any political party. “Jesus didn't fit neatly with the conservatives or the liberals,” he said. “So neither will His followers.” He pointed out that the Pharisees (religious conservatives) and the Herodians (political progressives) both opposed Jesus — a sign that His kingdom doesn't conform to human categories. He quoted Rich Villodas: “If you are completely comfortable in any earthly political party, it's because you don't know who you are as a citizen in the Kingdom of Heaven.” And Tim Keller, who wrote: “Neither party embodies the full breadth of biblical ethics. Conservatives emphasize personal morality, liberals emphasize social justice — but the Bible calls for both. So Christians should not idolize one party or demonize the other.” Coleton summarized: “Our ultimate allegiance isn't to the right or the left — but to Jesus, and His kingdom alone.” 5. The Call: Give God What Is His Coleton closed with a reflective invitation. He asked listeners to pray and consider: Do you struggle to obey or respect leaders you dislike? Have you given more allegiance to political identity than to Jesus? Have you rendered unto Caesar what belongs to God — your hope, attention, loyalty, or love? He encouraged repentance — to re-center allegiance on God alone. Discussion Questions Why do you think Jesus refused to side with either the Pharisees or Herodians? What does that reveal about His kingdom? In what ways might modern Christians “render to Caesar what belongs to God”? What does healthy submission to governing authorities look like for believers today (Romans 13:1–7; 1 Timothy 2:1–4)? Where in your own life are you tempted to give more attention, hope, or loyalty to politics than to Jesus? How can our church model a better way — giving God our full allegiance while honoring human authorities appropriately?

So if you need a new ebook this fall, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 275 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is October 31st, 2025, and today we're talking about the Praetorian Guard of Ancient Rome and how that can inspire fantasy novels. Also, Happy Halloween (or Happy Protestant Reformation Day, if you prefer). Before we get into all that, we will have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. First up, Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in my Silent Order series at my Payhip store: SILENT2025. And as always, both the coupon code and the links to my store will be in the show notes. This coupon code will be valid through November 10th, 2025. So if you need a new ebook for this fall as we come into winter, we have got you covered. And now for an update on my current writing and publishing projects. As I mentioned last week, Cloak of Worlds is now out and you get it at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, and at my Payhip store. The initial response has been very strong and very positive, so thank you for that and I'm glad that people are enjoying and reading the book. Now that Cloak of Worlds is done, my next main project is Blade of Shadows, which will be the second book in my Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series. I'm currently 44,000 words into it, which puts me on chapter 9 of 20, though I'll probably have more chapters in the final draft than I will in the first draft. I found people really do tend to prefer shorter punchier, shorter chapters. Anyway, I'm about 44,000 words into it. I think I'll be about 109,000 words, when all is said and done. So hopefully that will be out in November. I'm also 4,500 words into the next Rivah book, which is Wizard-Assassin. It'd originally been entitled Elven-Assassin, but I decided Wizard-Assassin sounded punchier, so we went with that instead. I'm about 4,500 words into that and if all goes well, it will come out in December, which will make it the final book I'll publish in 2025, though hopefully I'll be publishing more books in 2026 before too much longer. In audiobook news, Brad Wills is currently recording Blade of Flames and we've been listening to some proof chapters of it and are very excited about what we're hearing. Hollis McCarthy is starting work on recording Cloak of Embers. That'll be the 10th book in Cloak Mage, and hopefully we will have both of those audiobooks out before the end of the year, if all goes well. So that is where I'm at with my current writing and publishing projects. 00:02:33 Main Topic: Praetorian Guard of the Ancient Roman Empire Now let's move on to our main topic this week, which is the Praetorian Guard of the Ancient Roman Empire, and they were very bad at their jobs, but we'll get into that more very shortly. One of the fascinating (if occasionally depressing) aspects of history is how often institutions end up having the exact opposite outcome of what they were intended to do. The late science fiction writer Jerry Pournelle had something called Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy, which once the bureaucracy got large enough, it will inevitably start turning its main focus to perpetuating the bureaucracy rather than carrying out its actual mission. And we can see examples of that time and time again, and no doubt you yourself can think of many examples: schools that make their students dumber, military organizations that fail to defend, hospitals that make people sicker, bureaucracies that exacerbate the problems that they are created to solve, and so forth. This can also apply to social movements as well. My favorite example of this is Prohibition in America. The Temperance movement of the late 19th and early 20th century achieved its goal of banning alcohol sales in the United States during the Prohibition period, but the backlash and the consequences made it unpopular. And today, while alcohol is much more heavily restricted than it was at the end of the 19th century, the idea of banning alcohol in the United States is utterly implausible. The Praetorian Guard of Ancient Rome, the personal bodyguards of the Emperor, might be another example of such an institution that utterly failed at its primary goal. For over a thousand years, people have been asking why the Roman Empire fell, and I think that might actually be the wrong question. The better question is why did the Roman Empire last as long as it did, because it sure almost didn't. At the height of its power, the Empire controlled land on three different continents in an area larger than many modern states, and it had to maintain that control without anything resembling modern technology and organization. Think of the difficulties involved in governing a large multi-ethnic state in the 21st Century with modern technology and communications and imagine how much harder it was in the first century AD. Travel was difficult and dangerous even with the Roman road system. The account of St. Paul's shipwreck in the book of Acts must've been an all too common experience in the Roman Empire, given the number of Roman wrecks on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. Messages could take weeks to reach their recipients, and there was no division between civilian and military authority. That meant if the Emperors wanted to do anything, they had to use the army to do it because the army was the only pool of skilled men loyal to the state. Since the Empire never really solved the problem of succession and the transfer of power, it didn't take long before ambitious men figured out that the man with the largest army could declare himself Emperor and the Roman Empire actually broke apart into three competing mini empires and almost fell apart entirely in the middle of the 200s AD. So as we can see, there were a lot of reasons the Roman Empire fell apart and the Praetorian Guard, the bodyguard of the emperors, was one of them. The Praetorian Guard certainly wasn't the sole reason the Roman Empire collapsed, but the guard most definitely didn't help. In the last century of the Roman Republic, one of the growing problems was that the armies were less loyal to Rome and more loyal to their general, who made sure they got paid and received grants of land upon discharge. To show their prestige and to guard against the danger of assassination from rivals, generals began collecting personal bodyguards. Since the Roman generals commanded from a tent in a legionary camp called a "praetorium," the general's private guards became called "praetorians." Obviously, the general wanted his best troops as his bodyguards so becoming a praetorian was a privileged position with higher pay and perks. This practice continued as the Roman Republic split apart into civil wars between the ambitious generals of the First and Second Triumvirates. The civil wars of the Roman Republic ended with Octavian, later known as Caesar Augustus, as the last man standing with sole control of what we now think of as the Roman Empire. Augustus is remembered as the first Roman emperor, but the office of Emperor didn't really exist at the time, not the way we think of it now. Rather, Augustus was essentially a military dictator, but after he won, he went to great lengths to conceal his power under cloak of legality by having the Senate invest him with various official powers and offices. In modern terms, it'd be like if the United States was ruled by a military dictator who simultaneously held the offices of President, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, the governorships of the five most populous states, all while claiming to be only the first citizen among equals. Essentially, Augustus invented the powers of the Roman emperor on the fly while being a military dictator and his successors followed suit. Julius Caesar famously pardoned his enemies and went around without a bodyguard to show his courage, which ended up getting him assassinated. Augustus, by contrast, was determined not to repeat that mistake. So after annihilating his enemies, he founded a personal bodyguard in what we know today as the Praetorian Guard. That's a modern term. The praetorians never called themselves the Praetorian Guard, and they always refer to themselves as the praetorian of whichever emperor they happen to be serving like the Praetorians of Augustus or the Praetorians of Claudius and so forth. Augustus seems to have seen some of the potential danger in the institution of the Praetorian Guard, and during his reign, they were scattered around Italy with ones guarding him rotated out every so often. The Praetorians in Italy, when not guarding the Emperor, tended to do odd jobs for the government that needed doing like policing, construction, surveying, settling boundary disputes, and so forth. However, Augustus's successor Tiberius concentrated the Guard in Rome, which made it even more dangerous. It also tied into another problem with the Roman Empire, one that it never quite managed to solve, which was the succession problem. Augustus was a military dictator who assembled a sort of ad hoc legality around his position with various offices and powers. But how would he pass that onto a successor or what if someone else decided they were the proper successor? Augustus had taken his office by force, so why shouldn't anyone else? The Praetorian Guard exacerbated this problem further. Was their loyalty to the office of the Emperor (which was tricky because that office didn't technically exist)? Was it to the man himself or to his heirs? Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Praetorian Guard eventually settled on the most practical answer to this question. Their loyalty belonged to whoever paid them the most money. There's a very high chance that Tiberius was murdered by the prefect of the Praetorian Guard, which means that the imperial bodyguard made it only two emperors [repeated for dramatic emphasis] before it started killing them. Tiberius's successor Caligula was famously insane and the Guard eventually got sick of him and participated in his murder. After Caligula's death, the guard declared Claudius as the new Emperor, who repaid them by giving them lavish donatives. That meant the Guard had gone from protecting the emperors to killing ones that didn't like, and then installing new ones. After the Senate turned against Nero and he committed suicide in 69 AD, the Roman Empire had its year of four emperors: Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and finally Vespasian, who won the civil war and became the new emperor. Each of the potential claimants had their own praetorians who fought against other praetorians. The original Praetorian Guard of Nero did not cover itself in glory, as their comfortable life in Rome did not make them effective as field soldiers and they lost against the toughened legionaries from the frontier armies who came to fight in the civil war. That said, during the reigns of the Five Good Emperors (Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius) from 96 to 180 AD, we don't hear much about the Praetorian Guard. The most likely explanation is that these emperors were strong and capable rulers, so the guard had no reason to turn against them, and therefore any potential conspiracies that would've involved the Guard just didn't get off the ground. However, part of the reason the 100s AD were the apex of the Roman Empire is that Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, and Antoninus Pius did not have sons, so they adopted a capable leader as their son and heir, thereby creating continuity of rule. Marcus Aurelius unfortunately had a natural son named Commodus, and after he died, Commodus became Emperor. Commodus was a spectacularly incompetent narcissist, nowadays famously known as the villain from the movie Gladiator. If anything, Gladiator toned down Commodus' brutality, though to be fair to Commodus, he didn't murder his father like the fictional version did in the movie. Commodus was eventually assassinated, and the Praetorian Guard hit its lowest point soon after. Pertinax became Emperor after Commodus, and there was hope he would be a Nerva-type figure, a respected elderly Senator who would adopt a capable heir the way Nerva did with Trajan. However, Commodus had used the Guard as his privileged force of personal thugs, and Pertinax tried to impose discipline upon them. The Guard most definitely did not care for that, so they murdered Pertinax and then auctioned off the title of Emperor to whoever would pay them the most. Soon after Septimius Severus seized control of the Empire and he summarily fired all the Praetorian and put his own veteran legionaries in their place. So the Praetorian Guard, which had been intended to guard the emperors, ended up murdering the Emperor on a regular basis and sometimes choosing a successor and even auctioning off the title of Emperor to the highest bidder. Septimius Severus was a brutal ruler and held the Empire together long enough to die of natural causes. His sons Caracalla and Geta were his successors, and Caracalla murdered Geta before he was assassinated himself by yet another plot from disgruntled praetorians. After that, both the Empire and the Guard declined precipitously. This was the period later historians would call the Crisis of the Third Century, when the Roman Empire fractured into the three competing mini empires I mentioned earlier. A depressing pattern rapidly took hold. The Praetorian Guard or the army would kill an Emperor and proclaim a new one. The Emperor would last until he tried to do something the army didn't like, such as imposing discipline and then the pattern would repeat. The Praetorian Guard was never really reformed, but like so many failed institutions, it gradually became obsolete. Part of the reason was that the Empire was subject to frequent barbarian invasions throughout the 200s. The Emperor was required constantly on the frontiers to supervise the defense with the field armies. The emperors developed a different kind of bodyguard called the "scholae palatinae", a mounted group of soldiers that would accompany him in the field as he moved about the Empire. The constant defensive warfare also resulted in a subtle shift within the Empire. Rome was no longer the center of power within the Empire. The center of power was actually wherever the Emperor happened to be at the moment. The city of Rome itself had become in many ways an expensive vestigial relic of another age. Some of the emperors only visited Rome once. Some of the shorter-lived ones never made it there at all, and the Emperors certainly did not rule from Rome. Because of these changes, the idea of the Praetorian Guard, a permanent bodyguard force based in Rome, had become obsolete. The actual end of the Praetorian Guard came after the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, the battle where the Emperor Constantine famously had the vision that led him to convert to Christianity. The Praetorian Guard sided with Constantine's opponent Maxentius, and since Constantine had no use for the Praetorian Guard and indeed would move his capital to the new city of Constantinople, he simply had the Guard disbanded and continued to rely on mounted cavalry units for his personal bodyguard. So the Praetorian Guard, after three centuries of frequent treachery and corruption, had come to an end. Amusingly, while the Guard was gone, the title of "praetorian prefect" remained in use in the Empire for the rest of its history, which came to show just how powerful the commander of the Guard could become. In the end, the Praetorian Guard was yet another example of institution that became a hindrance to the very goals it was founded to advance. This seems to be a curse of any organization, and the only cure is constant vigilance and strong leadership, two qualities, alas, that are all too rare at any age of history. Yet you can definitely see why I say history is the best source of material for fantasy writers. You could get like 20 different novels out of the events I discussed above.

En el mundo, una de cada tres mujeres sufre violencia sexual o física. Y en la mayoría de casos, los ataques son perpetrados por su entorno cercano. En algunas zonas del mundo esa estadística es aún mayor, como en América Latina, donde el 80% de las mujeres son víctimas de una violencia que Naciones Unidas calificó como una "pandemia en la sombra". En el podcast de hoy ponemos el foco en la respuesta humanitaria con perspectiva de género en América Latina. Lo hacemos con María Vargas Simojoki, experta regional en protección, género y educación en emergencias del Departamento de Protección Civil y Ayuda Humanitaria de la Unión Europea; Dayana Zamorano, miembro de la Fundación Lunita Lunera, una organización feminista de Ecuador, que desde hace años trabaja con supervivientes de violencia de género; Andrés Jesús, venezolano de 24 años que huyó de su país debido a los abusos que sufrió por parte de las autoridades, y Regina Zoe Magallón, primera mujer trans en conseguir cambiar legalmente su identidad de género en el Estado de Colima, en el suroeste de México.

Did Jesus exist? Is Jesus a myth? Is there any evidence that Jesus actually lived? Is there any evidence outside the Bible? The answer is absolutely, there's a great deal of evidence. Many are unaware of some of the very profound and powerful evidences for the existences of Jesus. Today we will take a look at the evidence for Jesus' existence, coming at it from three different vantage points: Ancient Hostile Witnesses: (Pastor goes into detail regarding each of the following hostile testifiers to Jesus and His followers) • Tacitus - Annals XV, 44 (ca 55-120A.D) • Suetonius - Claudius, 25 and Nero, 18 (ca 117-138 A.D.) • Pliny the Younger - Letter to Roman Emperor Trajan (ca 112 A.D.) • Sanhedrin 43a (part of the Talmud) • Josephus - “Testimonium Flavianum” Antiquities, 18:3 (ca 37-97 A.D.) Earliest Witnesses • Doctor Luke and John Mark • Jesus' best friend, John • Saul of Tarsus (Apostle Paul) Accepted historical Facts: Acknowledged by Scholars, Liberals, Conservatives, Christians, Jews and Agnostics: • Jesus died by Roman Crucifixion • His tomb was discovered to be empty • His disciples said they saw the risen Jesus • His disciples lives were radically changed • Resurrection proclaimed early in Jerusalem • James and Paul became believers Pastor concludes the teaching time telling us that God changed his heart and the direction of his career. Then Pastor changes the question to "Does Jesus really exist?" and continues with the following: “If Jesus is alive, if He has risen from the grave, that changes everything. It means that God has broken into our world. It means that there is life and forgiveness in Him, and that apart from Him, you have nothing. Today's question is not simply a question about the historical past, this is a question about eternal destiny!” Jesus is alive! And we pray that He will be, if He's not already, the Lord of your life! Now What? Learn about God at https://www.awakeusnow.com EVERYTHING we offer is FREE.

Min 4: LAZARUS (PRIME VIDEO) En Lazarus, Sam Claflin encarna a un psiquiatra brillante marcado por un trauma que vuelve a su vida cuando su padre, interpretado por Bill Nighy, reaparece misteriosamente tras haber sido dado por muerto. A partir de ese momento, nada parece tener explicación lógica: recuerdos, sueños y realidades se confunden en un thriller psicológico que mezcla el drama familiar con lo sobrenatural. Con el sello narrativo de Harlan Coben, creador de éxitos como Safe o The Stranger, la serie despliega un rompecabezas de secretos, duelos y heridas abiertas donde cada revelación es más inquietante que la anterior. Lazarus mantiene la tensión con una ambientación fría, un tono melancólico y un reparto sólido, en un relato sobre la memoria, la pérdida y los fantasmas —reales o no— que habitan en todos nosotros. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3,5 estrellas Min 13: EL MONSTRUO DE FLORENCIA (NETFLIX) En El monstruo de Florencia, Netflix revive uno de los casos criminales más turbios y obsesivos de la historia reciente de Italia. Entre finales de los sesenta y mediados de los ochenta, un asesino en serie conocido como Il Mostro di Firenze aterrorizó a la región toscana, matando a parejas jóvenes en parajes aislados con un patrón tan preciso como brutal. La serie reconstruye ese infierno a través de la mirada de periodistas, policías y testigos que se vieron atrapados en un laberinto de errores, sospechas y teorías que convirtieron la investigación en una pesadilla colectiva. Con una puesta en escena elegante, tono sobrio y atmósfera inquietante, El monstruo de Florencia no busca tanto resolver un crimen como explorar el miedo, la obsesión mediática y la sombra de la culpa que aún persiste en la memoria italiana. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3 estrellas Min 18: ENTREPRENEURS (Disney Plus) En Entrepreneurs, el dúo cómico Rober Bodegas y Alberto Casado —conocidos como Pantomima Full— dan el salto a la ficción con una sátira mordaz del mundo del emprendimiento y las nuevas profesiones. El protagonista, Gonzalo (Bodegas), hijo de un empresario hostelero, recibe una última oportunidad: montarse un negocio que no sea otro bar de afterwork. Sin ideas, se alía con Jacobo (Casado), autoproclamado “gurú entrepreneur”, y juntos fundan un coworking lleno de freelances con aspiraciones desmesuradas. La hermana de Gonzalo, Julia (Aura Garrido), debe supervisar para que el proyecto no sea otro fiasco. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3 estrellas Min 24: AVANCE DE "PLURIBUS", DEL CREADOR DE BREAKING BAD Te avanzamos también detalles importantes de 'Pluribus', la propuesta llamada a marcar un punto de inflexión en la carrera de Vince Gilligan: alejado del universo de Breaking Bad, que esta vez se adentra en el terreno de la ciencia-ficción con una premisa desconcertante: la persona más infeliz de la Tierra debe salvar al mundo… de la felicidad. La protagonista, juguete de una trama que promete giros e incomodidades, es interpretada por Rhea Seehorn, quien regresa a colaborar con Gilligan en un papel radicalmente distinto al que la catapultó al reconocimiento. El tráiler y los avances insinúan un mundo que cambia de forma abrupta, con humor negro, tensión y un estilo visual que se aleja del drama criminal clásico para explorar lo extraño y lo cotidiano fusionados. Min 29: BSO DE "NERO: UN ASESINO" La banda sonora de Nero, firmada por Guillaume Roussel, es uno de los grandes aciertos de esta serie francesa de Netflix. Lejos de los clichés del thriller histórico, Roussel apuesta por una música intensa y emocional que combina cuerdas y percusión con matices electrónicos. El resultado es una partitura que respira peligro, melancolía y redención, acompañando cada paso del protagonista en su huida y en su culpa.

In Emerald City, the enchanted city in The Wizard of Oz, everyone wears glasses with green lenses. But did you know that this practice actually dates back to ancient times? To a Roman emperor in fact, and his passion for a precious green stone: the emerald. For centuries, the emerald was believed to have almost magical properties, including the ability to improve eyesight. Fascinated by this stone, Emperor Nero always carried one with him. According to legend, he even watched chariot races while looking through an emerald. And as surprising as this may seem, some believe that this was the very first pair of sunglasses!

In this passage, Peter calls believers to live holy lives, even under unjust authority. Submission is not weakness—it is strength rooted in trust that God rules over every human institution. We submit for the Lord's sake, representing Him to a watching world. By doing good, we silence critics and reflect the goodness of Christ, and as those set free from sin, we use our freedom not for rebellion or selfishness, but to serve God and love others. Peter closes with four commands that shape every believer's conduct: Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. Even when authority is flawed—like Nero's brutal rule—Christians reveal God's sovereignty through humble obedience and steadfast faith. True freedom is living as servants of God who bring glory to Him in every sphere of life. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_7c28f03426c74531bece0b429c5f1a39.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_5ac7f9bebd7a4b4c9c0e8e03a4023ea6.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Roman Revisionism and the Crisis of the American Republic Gaius and Germanicus discuss the 21st-century revisionism of Rome, which they find entertaining, noting that it presents figures like Domitian as successful and Nero as misunderstood. They counter the revisionist view that the Roman Republic was vital by asserting that Rome was perpetually embroiled in civil war until the ultimate resolution by an emperor. This leads to the central question of whether the American Republic is in a late stage heading toward an emperor. They debate whether political strife signals societal vitality or decadence, noting that while conflict in U.S. history was sometimes resolved by figures like Franklin Delano Roosevelt or McKinley, the late Roman Republic required the intervention of "big men" like the triumvirates (Pompey and Caesar). The speakers suggest the current American political structure and unsustainable economic inequality may require a major adjustment, echoing the Roman path. They conclude by heading off to make a sacrifice to the great god Augustus. 1876 NERO AND TORCHES FOR CHRISTIANS
