In 1960s rural Taiwan, crossing a river could be deadly. After children drowned on their way to school, a small group of charity workers in Chiayi decided to act. They had previously provided rice and coffins to the poor. But now they turned to building bridges in rural, often remote mountain areas. Nicknamed the “Ant Army,” they worked in human chains, carrying rocks and pouring concrete by hand. Their raw physical effort was supported by the expertise and guidance of engineer Ho Ming-teh (何明德1922–1998) who would be internationally recognized for his contribution. By the time of his death, Ho and the Chiayi Philanthropy Group had built more than 200 bridges.

RevisionThe surah* Al-Baqarah means the cow.* 286 ayat — the longest surah in the Quran.* Nicknamed the peak of the Quran (Sanam al-Quran).* Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Ali Imran are twin surahs. If you read them, study them, memorise them and act on their lessons, they will come on the Day of Judgement as clouds — shade on a day when there is no shade except the shade of Allah.* The surah has nine parts. We are in Part 1: Types of People.Ayah 1 — Alif Lam MimWhat does it mean? There is a meaning, but we do not know it. Our answer is: Wallahu a'lam — Allah knows best.We may not know the meaning, but we can learn the wisdom behind it.1. It is a surprise call.The Prophet ﷺ was unlettered — he did not read or write. A person who does not read or write does not recite alphabets. So the fact that he recited letters was a surprise in itself.There is a second surprise. Listen to Arabs speaking their own language — they do not speak in tajweed. But the Prophet ﷺ recited Alif Lam Mim with full tajweed rules. A strange combination of letters, recited in a way no one spoke. It caught the audience's attention immediately.2. It is a challenge.Poetry was the highest art form of the Arabs at that time. When the Quran came, they refused to accept it was from God — they said Muhammad ﷺ made it up, or learned it from somewhere.So Allah opens with letters: Alif Lam Mim. Alif Lam Ra. Qaf. Ha Mim. Ya Sin. The same alphabet you have. Go and produce something like it.3. It is a gate of humility.There are things our minds can fully understand, and there are things beyond our minds. Before we can receive guidance, we have to accept that limit.Example: Why is Fajr two rak'ah, but Dhuhr and Asr are four? Fajr is at a quiet time when you have space; Dhuhr falls in a rushed 20-minute lunch break at school. Why not make them equal? Wallahu a'lam. We obey.Does “wallahu a'lam” mean we obey blindly? No. We arrive at obedience through reason:* The universe cannot exist without a creator.* That creator cannot himself be created — there must be an uncreated Creator.* A Creator who made a universe this complex and this beautiful must be wise.* When someone infinitely wiser than you tells you to do something — you do it.We accept Allah through revelation and through reason. Once that foundation is in place, obedience follows. That is the gate of humility.And we are still allowed to look for the wisdom. Two rak'ah at Fajr — you are fresh, you do not need much. Four at Dhuhr — you are hungry, tired, and about to become “hangry,” so you stop and reset. Four at Asr — before you carry your work stress home to your family, you offload it onto Allah first. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in — You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.Who are we asking? The Creator of everything. Next to Allah, how big is our problem? This is why a person of prayer can walk back to their problem and face it — you are not facing it alone.Ayah 2ذَٰلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ“That is the Book, no doubt in it, guidance for the people of taqwa.”* Dhalika — that* al-Kitab — the Book* la rayba fihi — no doubt in it* hudan lil-muttaqin — guidance for the people of taqwaThe link to Al-Fatihah. In Al-Fatihah we made the du'a: Ihdinas-siratal mustaqim — guide us to the straight path. We asked for guidance. Allah answers immediately: the guidance is in this Book.Guidance for everyone, or only for some? In ayah 185 of this same surah, Allah says the Quran was sent down as guidance for all mankind. Here in ayah 2, it says guidance for the people of taqwa.The offer is open to everyone. The people of taqwa are the ones who take the offer up.New Material: What Is Taqwa?The literal meaningTaqwa comes from the root waw – qaf – ya, which carries the meaning of protection.Because taqwa also contains an element of fear, the literal meaning is: protective fear.Protective fear vs paralysing fear* Fire in the building. Protective fear: you get out. Paralysing fear: you freeze — or you film it for TikTok.* Exam next week. Protective fear: you start studying. Paralysing fear: “que sera sera” — you give up.* The difference. Protective fear moves you to act. Paralysing fear stops you from acting.Note on the snake example from class: standing still is the correct response to an Australian snake, because they are not hunting us — they bite out of fear when they feel threatened. That is a considered decision, not a freeze.Fear on its own is not enough. If you find out at 9pm that there is a test tomorrow morning and you decide there is no point trying, you are still afraid — but the fear has paralysed you.This is why taqwa needs the two wings we studied earlier: fear and love/hope. Without hope you will not move. Taqwa is not just fear — it is fear balanced by love.What are we protecting ourselves from?When Allah uses the word taqwa in the Quran, it means: protect yourself from Allah's anger and His punishment, and move towards His mercy and forgiveness.In practice: what Allah told you not to do — don't do it. What Allah told you to do — do it.Story time: Umar and Ubayy ibn Ka'bWho is Ubayy ibn Ka'b? One of the Companions the Prophet ﷺ named as the best reciters of the Quran — if you want to hear the Quran as Jibril brought it, listen to these people. When Umar ibn al-Khattab established Taraweeh in congregation, he appointed Ubayy as the first Taraweeh imam. Ubayy recited so long that the Companions would lean on the walls and pillars of the masjid, and the prayer would end just in time for a small meal before Fajr.The conversation:Umar ibn al-Khattab asked him, “What is taqwa?”Ubayy answered with a question: “Have you ever walked through a path full of thorns?”Umar said, “Yes.”“How did you do it?”Umar said, “I would lift my garment and walk carefully.”Ubayy said: “That is taqwa.”Arab dress is long and flowing. On a thorny path you gather it in, and you watch every step — so your clothes are not snagged and your feet are not cut.That is life. Every step, you are aware: Is this bringing me closer to Allah, or further away? Would Allah be pleased with this, or angry?The technical meaningLiteral meaning = the dictionary meaning.Technical meaning = the meaning in context.Example: the word site. Literally, a place. Say it to a builder and he means a construction site. Say it to a web developer and she means a website. Same word, different technical meaning depending on context.So for taqwa:* Literal: protective fear* Technical: mindfulness of AllahBeing constantly aware of whether something is beloved to Allah or disliked by Him, and whether a decision takes you towards Him or away from Him.A person of taqwa will be guided by the Quran, because that is where you find what Allah loves, what He dislikes, what He made obligatory and what He made forbidden.Ayah 3 — The Signs of TaqwaTaqwa is in the heart. The Prophet ﷺ said, “At-taqwa ha huna” — taqwa is here — pointing to the chest. You cannot display it. But it produces signs, and the signs can be seen.الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ“Those who believe in the unseen, establish the prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them.”1. They believe in the unseen (yu'minuna bil-ghayb)Every pillar of iman involves something unseen:* Allah — we cannot see Him.* Angels — we cannot see them.* Books — we can hold a mushaf, but we did not see Jibril bring it down. That process is what makes it different from every other book.* Prophets — the Companions could see Muhammad ﷺ the man. What they could not see was him receiving revelation, and that is what made him a prophet.* Day of Judgement — not yet seen.* Divine decree (qadar) — never seen.Remember the three dimensions of the religion — the what, the why, and the how. Iman is the why: the root system. You do what you do because you believe Allah commanded it.2. They establish the prayer (yuqimunas-salah)Belief is invisible. Prayer is what that invisible belief looks like when it comes out.3. They spend from what Allah has given them (wa mimma razaqnahum yunfiqun)Not “what they earned” — what We have provided them. The wealth was never theirs to begin with.Next WeekWe continue with the details of ayah 3, and aim to reach ayah 5 — unless our guest speaker joins us, in which case Islamic Studies runs instead.Key Terms* Wallahu a'lam — Allah knows best* Taqwa — literally: protective fear. Technically: mindfulness of Allah* Muttaqin — the people of taqwa* Ghayb — the unseen* Sanam al-Quran — the peak of the QuranQuestions to Test Yourself* What does Al-Baqarah mean, and how many ayat does it have?* Give the three wisdoms behind Alif Lam Mim.* Translate ayah 2 into English.* What is the difference between protective fear and paralysing fear? Give one example of each.* What did Ubayy ibn Ka'b compare taqwa to?* What is the difference between a literal meaning and a technical meaning?* Name the three traits of the people of taqwa mentioned in ayah 3.* Why is belief in the Quran still “belief in the unseen” when you can hold a copy in your hands?

Before martial arts changed his life, Jerry Trimble was a shy, anxious teenager who struggled with bullying, fear, and self-doubt. What began as a search for confidence at the age of 13 became the foundation for one of the most remarkable careers in martial arts history. Nicknamed the “Golden Boy,” Jerry quickly rose through the ranks, earning his first-degree black belt at just 15 years old and becoming the top-ranked point fighter in the Midwest. His speed, athleticism, and dynamic kicking ability propelled him into professional kickboxing, where he captured multiple regional and national championships before reaching the pinnacle of the sport in 1986 as both the PKA and PKC Kickboxing World Champion. His legendary hook kick was once clocked at an incredible 118 miles per hour, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting fighters of his generation. Following his competitive career, Jerry successfully transitioned to Hollywood, building an acting résumé that spans more than 65 films and television appearances. From sharing the screen with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in Heat to roles in Charlie’s Angels, The Flash, Supernatural, iZombie, Tracker, and many other productions, he has demonstrated the same drive and determination that made him a world champion. Today, Jerry travels throughout the United States and Canada as a motivational speaker, encouraging young people to overcome fear, embrace challenges, and believe in their own potential. His story is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t something we’re born with, it’s something we build through perseverance, discipline, and the courage to take that first step.

Nicknamed "King James", he is the NBA's all-time leading scorer and has won four NBA championships from 10 NBA Finals appearances, including eight consecutive appearances between 2011 and 2018. He has won three Olympic gold medals as a member of the U. S. national team, and is widely considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time and one of the greatest athletes in modern history.In addition to ranking fourth in NBA career assists and sixth in NBA career steals, James holds several individual honors, including four NBA MVP awards, four Finals MVP awards, the Rookie of the Year award, three All-Star Game MVP awards, the inaugural NBA Cup MVP, and the Olympics MVP in the 2024 Summer Olympics. A record 22-time All-Star and 21-time All-NBA selection (including a record 13 First Team selections), he has also made six All-Defensive Teams. The oldest active player in the NBA, he holds records for the most seasons played with 23, the most games played, the most minutes played, and the most field goals made in league history.Born and raised in Akron, Ohio, James gained national attention at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School and was heavily touted as a future NBA superstar for his all-around scoring, passing, athleticism and playmaking abilities. A prep-to-pro, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected James with the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft. He won Rookie of the Year and quickly established himself as one of the league's premier players, leading Cleveland to its first NBA Finals appearance in 2007 and winning the scoring title in 2008.

pWotD Episode 3366: Kevin Keegan Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 688,797 views on Monday, 20 July 2026 our article of the day is Kevin Keegan.Joseph Kevin Keegan (14 February 1951 – 20 July 2026) was an English footballer and manager. Nicknamed "King Kev" or "Mighty Mouse", Keegan was recognised for his dribbling ability, finishing and presence in the air, and is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.Keegan began his playing career at Scunthorpe United in 1968, before Bill Shankly signed him for Liverpool. There, he won three First Division titles, the UEFA Cup twice, the FA Cup and, in his final season, the European Cup. During this period, he was a regular member of the England national team, and captained the team on 31 occasions, including at UEFA Euro 1980. He moved to Hamburger SV in the summer of 1977 and was named European Footballer of the Year in both 1978 and 1979. Hamburg won the Bundesliga title in the 1978–79 season and reached the 1980 European Cup final. Keegan left Hamburg and played at Southampton for two seasons, before transferring to Newcastle United in the Second Division in 1982. He helped Newcastle secure promotion in his second season, and retired from playing in 1984. He scored 204 goals in 592 appearances in his club career, adding 21 goals in 63 caps for England.He moved into management at Newcastle in 1992, and the team won promotion to the Premier League as First Division champions in his first full season. Newcastle finished second in the Premier League in the 1995–96 season, despite leading the way for most of the campaign. After managing Fulham for two seasons, he took charge of the England national team in February 1999, but resigned in October 2000 following a 1–0 loss against Germany in qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. In 2001, he became manager of Manchester City for four years, until he resigned in 2005. Keegan had been out of football for almost three years when he returned to Newcastle for a second spell as manager in January 2008, but this lasted only eight months, as he resigned in September following speculation about a dispute with the club's directors. He had the unique distinction of being promoted as champions in his first full season with the three clubs he managed.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:38 UTC on Tuesday, 21 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Kevin Keegan on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

Full Text of Readings Friday of the Third Week of Easter Lectionary: 277 The Saint of the day is Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen's Story If a poor man needed some clothing, Fidelis would often give the man the clothes right off his back. Complete generosity to others characterized this saint's life. Born in 1577, Mark Rey became a lawyer who constantly upheld the causes of the poor and oppressed people. Nicknamed “the poor man's lawyer,” Rey soon grew disgusted with the corruption and injustice he saw among his colleagues. He left his law career to become a priest, joining his brother George as a member of the Capuchin Order. Fidelis was his religious name. His wealth was divided between needy seminarians and the poor. As a follower of Saint Francis of Assisi, Fidelis continued his devotion to the weak and needy. During a severe epidemic in a city where he was guardian of a friary, Fidelis cared for and cured many sick soldiers. Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen was appointed head of a group of Capuchins sent to preach against the Calvinists and Zwinglians in Switzerland. Almost certain violence threatened. Those who observed the mission felt that success was more attributable to the prayer of Fidelis during the night than to his sermons and instructions. He was accused of opposing the peasants' national aspirations for independence from Austria. While he was preaching at Seewis, to which he had gone against the advice of his friends, a gun was fired at him, but he escaped unharmed. A Protestant offered to shelter Fidelis, but he declined, saying his life was in God's hands. On the road back, he was set upon by a group of armed men and killed. Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen was canonized in 1746. Fifteen years later he was recognized as a martyr. Reflection Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen's constant prayer was that he be kept completely faithful to God and not give in to any lukewarmness or apathy. He was often heard to exclaim, “Woe to me if I should prove myself but a halfhearted soldier in the service of my thorn-crowned Captain.” His prayer against apathy, and his concern for the poor and weak make him a saint whose example is valuable today. The modern Church is calling us to follow the example of “the poor man's lawyer” by sharing ourselves and our talents with those less fortunate and by working for justice in the world.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

He played college ice hockey for the Boston College Eagles in NCAA Division I for three seasons beginning in 2011 and was selected in the fourth round, 104th overall, by the Calgary Flames in the 2011 NHL entry draft. Nicknamed "Johnny Hockey", he was named the 2014 recipient of the Hobey Baker Award as the best player in the NCAA and, during his first full NHL season in 2014–15, was selected to play in the 2015 NHL All-Star Game, as well as being named to the annual NHL All-Rookie team.

Join Here: ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz examines the artist background of Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio on March 10, 1994, in Puerto Rico. Nicknamed the “King of Latin Trap,” he broke out in 2016 with “Diles” and played a pivotal role in mainstreaming Spanish-language urban music globally.Bad Bunny dominated Spotify as the most-streamed artist in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2025, earning six Grammy wins. His 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos made history as the first Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys.The spotlight is on his landmark Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium—a 13-minute set that became the first chiefly Spanish-language headlining performance. Sponsored by Apple Music, it drew 128–135 million U.S. viewers, often called the most-watched halftime show ever, with the NFL YouTube upload hitting 52 million views shortly after.Guests included Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga, blending cultural tributes with high-energy hits. The performance celebrated Latino and Puerto Rican identity, emphasized dancing over language barriers, and carried political messaging against immigration raids and friction with figures like Donald Trump—echoing his Grammys ICE reference.Post-show, tracks surged: “DtMF” (title track) hit #1 on Hot Latin Songs, Latin Streaming Songs, and Latin Digital Song Sales; re-entered Hot 100 Top 10; set a Spanish-song single-day Spotify record with 16.52M streams; and became his 4th Global 200 #1. “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” saw 54% U.S. Spotify lift, while “NUEVAYoL,” “Tití Me Preguntó” (historical Hot 100 #5), and others like “Yo Perreo Sola” (+2,170% streams) exploded. Bad Bunny occupied Top 6 U.S. Spotify spots, with +470% U.S. and +210% global streaming spikes, 98M+ U.S. on-demand streams the next day, and 28+ songs charting.Themes from halftime-relevant songs—“DtMF” (nostalgia, living fully), “Baile Inolvidable” (salsa-rooted romance reflection), “Nuevayol” (diaspora identity), and “Tití Me Preguntó” (family pressures with dembow/trap/bachata)—reinforced cultural depth.Analytic Dreamz breaks down its strategic impact as a massive streaming catalyst, cultural amplifier for Spanish-language music, and catalog monetization engine, showcasing cross-market dominance, platform-driven success, and Bad Bunny's unmatched catalog depth with dozens of billion-stream tracks.Tune in for detailed insights on this historic moment in music, culture, and global reach.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Send us a textWhat happens when you bring together three comedy legends with wildly different styles? Pure entertainment gold. This episode delivers a masterclass in comedic diversity featuring Andy Kindler, Bobby Slayton, and a rare behind-the-scenes moment with Gary Shandling.First up is Andy Kindler, known for his work on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and as a regular on "Late Night with David Letterman." His set from a special concert in Canada showcases his signature brand of industry-insider humor and meta-comedy. With jokes ranging from Nazi documentaries to social media absurdities, Kindler demonstrates why he's considered a comedian's comedian. His self-referential style and willingness to embrace awkwardness create moments of brilliance that highlight his unique voice in the stand-up world.Bobby Slayton takes the stage next with a performance recorded live at Laughs Unlimited. Nicknamed the "Pitbull of Comedy," Slayton lives up to his reputation with a no-holds-barred examination of relationships and romance. His hilarious deconstruction of supposedly romantic activities—from candlelight dinners to showering together—resonates with audiences through its brutal honesty. Slayton's masterful crowd work and rapid-fire delivery demonstrate why he's been a fixture in comedy clubs and films like "Bandits" and "Dreamgirls."The episode concludes with something truly special: an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes recording of Gary Shandling preparing for a television interview about his role in the 2006 animated film "Over the Hedge." This rare glimpse into Shandling's natural wit reveals the improvisational genius that made him a pioneer of meta-comedy in shows like "The Larry Sanders Show." His bizarre tangents about teaching dogs acting skills and what might be found in his garbage showcase the free-associative style that influenced a generation of comedians.Whether you're drawn to Kindler's self-deprecating observations, Slayton's unapologetic relationship truths, or Shandling's meandering absurdity, this episode offers something for every comedy fan.

Marcus' What You Know 'Bout That trivia game for Friday December 12th, 2025. 

Former US magazine editors-in-chief Laura Brown and Kristina O'Neill were both ‘let go' from their respective jobs. They felt blindsided, devastated and temporarily lost their identities - until, united, they learnt how to make a comeback. They joined Nuala McGovern to share their experiences as set out in their new book, All the Cool Girls Get Fired, about how they let go of the shame of ‘being fired', a term they like to use, and how a career setback can become the best thing ever.Suzanne Edwards is currently taking part in ground-breaking medical trials that involve her learning how to move her legs using neural implants. Suzanne has been a sportswoman for decades, both before and since a life-changing accident 14 years ago, and she explains to Anita Rani how this training has informed her approach to taking part in medical research.Back in 1995 a call went out looking for women to take part in a landmark scientific study exploring the links between what we eat and our health. Thirty-five thousand middle-aged women signed up to be part of the UK Women's Cohort Study. It went on to look at the impact our diet can have on our risk of developing cancer and other chronic diseases, as well as other areas of women's health from our bones to the menopause. Professor Janet Cade from the University of Leeds joined Nuala to discuss what it was like launching the study 30 years ago and some of its key takeaways for women.The Independent Commission on UK Counterterrorism has just published its report after three years. A long and detailed report, it estimates there are up to 70 UK-linked individuals, mostly women and children—most under 10 years old—believed to still be in camps or other detention centres in Iraq and Syria. Professor of Religion, Gender and Global Security, Katherine Brown, is one of the 14 commissioners. She explains why the women and children remaining in these camps is "unsustainable" and why an organised programme of return, rehabilitation, and integration is, they believe, the best long-term option for managing the risk to public safety. They are joined by Frank Gardner, the BBC's Security Correspondent.Francesca Hennessy is the 21-year-old shaking up women's boxing. Nicknamed the 'Billion Dollar Baby', she's unbeaten in her first six professional fights and will be fighting on the bill when boxing returns to BBC primetime TV, free-to-air on a Saturday night for the first time in 20 years later this month. She'll face former world champion Fabiana Bytyqi, marking the biggest test of her career. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

In 1991, hikers in the Alps discovered a remarkably preserved 5,300-year-old mummy. Nicknamed Ötzi the Iceman, his discovery was hailed as a scientific breakthrough—but those connected to the find began to die under mysterious circumstances. From accidents to sudden illnesses, many believe Ötzi carried a deadly curse. In this episode, we examine the strange legacy of the Iceman.

Send us a textAt age nine, Veronica McCann received racing gear for her birthday. Now, decades later, this Perth, Western Australia native is still pursuing her passion across two continents. Nicknamed "Red Hot Ronnie" for her distinctive auburn hair, Veronica brings a refreshing perspective to dirt track racing that bridges Australian and American motorsports cultures.From winning a track championship at Perth Motorplex at just 19 to placing third in prestigious Australian series for three consecutive years, Veronica's competitive spirit is matched only by her willingness to learn. She candidly shares what drove her to pack her bags at 21 and fly alone to America to chase racing opportunities, describing the courage required to leave her close-knit family and how this journey transformed her personally and professionally.The conversation reveals fascinating contrasts between Australian and American dirt track racing approaches. While her home season follows a regimented schedule from October through April, Veronica's recent Tennessee racing adventure introduced her to the more spontaneous "winging it" style of American racing—deciding where to compete just days before events based on tire compounds and prize purses. This adaptability has expanded her racing toolkit in unexpected ways.Now balancing her own dirt late model team in Australia with a professional role managing speedway operations at Perth Motorplex, Veronica embodies how racing passion evolves throughout life's seasons. Her story resonates with anyone who has stepped outside their comfort zone to pursue their dreams, proving that racing's greatest lessons sometimes happen far from home. Follow her continuing journey on Facebook at Veronica McCann/Red Hot Racing as she takes what she's learned from American dirt back to the Australian racing scene this October.Support the showFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/womensmotorsportsnetworkandpodcast INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/womensmotorsportsnetwork/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ TIKTOK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ X: https://x.com/IWMANation FACEBOOK Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/melinda.ann.russell

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:A sleek, swept-wing silhouette streaks across the sky—not a fighter, but America's first jet-powered nuclear bomber. The Boeing B-47 Stratojet wasn't just revolutionary; it was the aircraft that defined what modern jets would become.Despite standing at the heart of America's Cold War nuclear deterrent, the B-47 has faded from public memory, overshadowed by its longer-serving sibling, the B-52. Yet this forgotten bomber changed aviation forever. Its groundbreaking design—featuring 35-degree swept wings, pod-mounted engines, and a bicycle landing gear system—established the template for virtually every commercial jetliner that followed. When you board any modern airliner, you're experiencing the B-47's enduring legacy.The Stratojet's story is one of innovation balanced against danger. Nicknamed "the crew killer," it demanded absolute precision from its pilots, especially when navigating the deadly "coffin corner" at high altitudes where the margin between stall speed and critical Mach number shrank to mere knots. Throughout its service, approximately 10% of the fleet was lost in accidents, claiming 464 crew lives—a sobering reminder of aviation's bleeding edge.Beyond its role as a nuclear bomber, the B-47 served as a reconnaissance platform, electronic warfare aircraft, and testbed for advanced systems. Its RB-47 variants conducted dangerous intelligence-gathering missions along Soviet borders, sometimes paying the ultimate price when shot down over contested airspace. These missions represented the Cold War at its most real—neither peace nor open conflict, but a deadly serious game of technological cat-and-mouse.The next time you look skyward at a passing jetliner, remember the forgotten bomber that revolutionized flight. Though only about 20 of the 2,000+ B-47s built survive in museums today, its influence continues to soar through our skies, a testament to how military innovation shaped our modern world of travel.Support the showTo help support this podcast and become a PilotPhotog ProCast member: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1555784/supportIf you enjoy this episode, subscribe to this podcast, you can find links to most podcast streaming services here: PilotPhotog Podcast (buzzsprout.com) Sign up for the free weekly newsletter Hangar Flyingwith Tog here: https://hangarflyingwithtog.com You can check out my YouTube channel for many videos on fighter planes here: https://youtube.com/c/PilotPhotog If you'd like to support this podcast via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotog And finally, you can follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/pilotphotog

Established in 1852, Devil's Island, one of six penal colonies in French Guiana, was finally closed on 22nd August, 1953. Nicknamed the ‘Green Hell' and the ‘Dry Guillotine', it earned a reputation as ‘The Alcatraz of South America': the world's most brutal prison. Established by Emperor Napoleon III to remove political opponents and jumpstart France's programme of colonisation, the horrors of the islands became more understood in France following the publication of memoirs by René Belbenoît and Henri ‘Papillon' Charrière. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why a spell on Devil's Island was potentially preferable to elsewhere in Guiana; reveal what the guards did with rebellious prisoners and their cadavers; and check out some contemporary perspectives - on TripAdvisor… Further Reading: • Why Devil's Island Was The World's Most Feared Prison (All Thats Interesting, 2021): https://allthatsinteresting.com/devils-island • ‘Notorious French Prison Turns Into a No-Man's Land' (LA Times, 2002): https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-dec-15-adfg-devilisle15-story.html • ‘Devil's Island Prison Colony' (British Pathé, 1947): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_xCHbpkDss This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

'Speedway Slammer' - like 'Alligator Alcatraz,' federal officials are using a splashy name for another planned immigration detention facility, in Indiana. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Most of the locations we investigate on The Grave Talks have long since been abandoned, their histories sealed behind broken windows and rusted locks. Kentucky State Penitentiary is the exception. Nicknamed the “Castle on the Cumberland,” this sprawling stone fortress has held prisoners—living and, witnesses claim, otherwise—since 1886. In this episode we step inside an institution that still houses Kentucky's death-row inmates and its active execution chamber, then listen to the stories of guards, wardens, chaplains, and former prisoners who insist they've felt a presence no security camera can capture. Cold drafts linger in rooms with no vents. Footsteps echo along deserted tiers. Voices call out names no longer on the roster. Is it the weight of history pressing on every block—or something determined never to leave? Join us as we explore a place where time, and perhaps the dead, continue to keep watch.

On the morning of August 26, 1986, a cyclist in New York's Central Park discovered the body eighteen-year-old Jennifer Levin. Among other things, Levin had been strangled, there were superficial injuries on her face, and her shirt was pulled up. Later, the medical examiner reported that Jennifer had died only about an hour before she was discovered.It didn't take long for investigators to find Levin's assailant, after several patrons at a nearby bar reported seeing her with a man the night before. That man turned out to be nineteen-year-old Robert Chambers Jr., a privileged members of New York's Upper East Side high society. At first, Chambers denied having anything to do with the murder, but soon changed his story and claimed Levin had died during consensual “rough sex” initiated by Levin herself.Nicknamed the “The Preppy Killer” by the press, a reference to his good looks and obvious privilege, Chambers' trial became a media circus. Over the course of more than a year, people around the country watched as the defense tried—and with the help of the press, succeeded—to put the responsibility for Levin's murder on the victim, emphasizing her sexual history and manner of dress, among other things.

In our time of looming ecological disaster, radical minds are needed to rethink the way we live. In Saudi Arabia, NEOM are building a futuristic new city: The Line. The Line will consist of two gigantic, unbroken rows of skyscrapers, with living space in-between. Nicknamed 'the groundscraper', The Line is planned to be taller than any building in Europe, Africa or Latin America - and 10 times denser than Manhattan, with nine million people expected to live inside. We meet the architects behind The Line, and take a journey to the city of the future.

At first, police thought they were only looking for a double murderer. Nicknamed the ‘Bedsit Killer' in the press, the suspect's reputation for savage violence already loomed large in the town of Tunbridge Wells in the late 80s. But it was only when they caught David Fuller – more than 30 years later – that they learnt the blood-curdling truth: that for years, the mortuary worker had been acting out his sick fantasies with the bodies of the dead. These exploits were so shocking, and so extensive, that Fuller earnt his second nickname: the Monster in the Morgue.Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramXVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
