Do you dread small talk, or are you the person who can strike up a conversation with a total stranger in the checkout line? Either way, this episode is for you. Small talk gets dismissed as fluff — empty chatter about the weather before the “real” conversation starts — but it's actually doing something important: it's the on-ramp to every deeper connection we have.Why Small Talk Isn't PointlessSmall talk is the bridge between “we've never met” and “we actually know each other.” Without it, you can't get to the meaningful stuff — you have to test the water first, find shared ground, and build from there. Jill shares a story about a coworker who thought small talk was painful until she watched Jill use it to connect people at a conference in minutes.It's a Social MuscleLike any skill, the more low-stakes small talk you practice, the more comfortable you get with conversation in general — and that skill transfers to networking, dating, and even hard family conversations. It also signals warmth and approachability, which matters more than we think in a season researchers are calling a loneliness epidemic.Where It Shows Up in Real LifeProfessional advancement often happens informally — in hallway chats and casual check-ins, not just performance reviews. In relationships, small talk is maintenance: couples who check in with “how was your day” tend to stay more connected than couples who only discuss logistics. And it turns out brief, friendly exchanges with strangers give real, measurable boosts to mood and confidence.Seven Small Steps to Get Better at ItFor anyone who feels like small talk doesn't come naturally, Jill breaks it into concrete steps: lower the bar (nice weather today is a complete success), use the FORD method (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams) when you're stuck, comment instead of question, practice in low-stakes places, set tiny specific goals, let silence be okay, and exit gracefully.Small talk isn't shallow — it's the quiet infrastructure of connection. It doesn't ask you to become someone you're not; it just asks for one small step, with one extra person, today.Jill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

Few trainers have had a busier week than Brett Dodson. He left Coffs Harbour on Thursday July 9th with his bonny mare Petticoat who was to start in a BM78 at Randwick two days later. It was a case of so near but yet so far as Petticoat went down by a whisker to Zouripper. As soon as Petticoat was ready to travel Brett embarked on the arduous journey back to Coffs. He had good reason to feel a little the worse for wear by the time he arrived at the Grafton track on Sunday with Miss Midas Touch for the 1400m maiden. Despite copping a hefty bump at the 300m, the mare grabbed the lead for a few strides before finishing third to You Are Mind and Occupation. No wins, but good runs by both Petticoat and Miss Midas Touch. Brett Dodson rarely has more than a dozen horses in work and is prepared to take them wherever they have the best chance of earning prize money. Tamworth born Dodson became “hooked” on racing in his early teens and resolved from the outset to seek a future in the industry. He recorded 13 wins and 30 placings as a professional jockey before increasing weight halted his progress. He switched immediately to the picnic circuit where he enjoyed success for two full seasons. Brett had a trainer's licence by age 18 and has put it to good use over more than three decades. He begins by talking about the long road trip to Sydney with Petticoat and the reliable mare's gutsy performance in Saturday's Keiran Moore BM78 at Randwick. The trainer says he had to shrug off fatigue to saddle Miss Midas Touch at Grafton twenty four hours later. Brett outlines the backstory of his promising five year old My Mum's Toyboy. He profiles the gelding's pedigree and talks of the success he's enjoyed with others out of the same mare. He says there wasn't a trace of racing in his family background. Brett confirms his passion for racing was initially generated by TV and radio coverage. He later became a subscriber to two famous monthly magazines. He talks of a friendship with a former prominent Sydney jockey who gifted him one of his old saddles. Brett says it all started when he visited local trainer Terry Wicks to seek advice on how best to gain an apprenticeship. He was in for a very pleasant surprise. He clearly remembers his first race ride and his first trip to the winner's circle. Brett says soaring weight quickly terminated any suggestion of a long term career as a professional jockey. He looks back on two happy seasons as an amateur rider. The Coffs Harbour horseman remembers his first training win with a horse purchased cheaply from another stable. He looks back on an invaluable learning experience with talented trainer Tim Martin. Brett talks about his stint as private trainer for owner/breeder Andrew Pratten who had his horses based at Inverell. He later encouraged Andrew to consider moving his horses to the balmier climate at Coffs Harbour. He pays tribute to the two horses who provided him with black type success. The trainer acknowledges a few talented horses to help him along the way and gives a shoutout to a promising rising three year old he has in his care. Brett shares the story of the amazing business deal he was able to strike with Hong Kong agents just on two years ago. He talks of his ongoing friendship with prominent Brisbane jockey Kyle Wilson Taylor. This is a nice chat with a bush trainer who hasn't regretted a single day spent in the racing industry.

Liubov Velychko is a Ukrainian investigative journalist based in Kyiv. Her reported areas include corruption, Russian disinformation, Russian intelligence-service influence operations, sanctions circumvention, energy politics, environmental crime and money laundering. She published in major Ukrainian outlets including LIGA.net, Mind.ua, Slovo i Dilo, and as a member of OCCRP and N-vestigate. Since Russia's full-scale invasion, she has focused heavily on Russia's information and influence infrastructure: FSB “temnyki” or talking-point systems, sanctions evasion, Russian lobbying in international institutions, and toxicity of Russian energy-sector influence. She also examines the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP) not simply as a religious body, but as an influence network: financially dependent, hierarchically disciplined, culturally embedded and vulnerable to Moscow's coercive leverage.----------Linkshttps://texty.org.ua/articles/117235/sprobuj-rabstvo-tobi-spodobayetsya-chomu-svyashchennyky-ne-jdut-z-upc-mp/ ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

She explains the split between Ukraine's independent Orthodox Church and the Moscow-linked structure, why many priests and congregations remain (social ties, fear of Russian retaliation, finances, and legal/property constraints), and how narratives are produced hierarchically and delivered flexibly to different audiences under SBU monitoring. The conversation covers criminal cases against some priests for treason and collaboration, differences between occupied and free territories, and how Moscow weaponizes “religious persecution” claims abroad. ----------CHAPTERS:01:32 Why We're at Lavra03:01 Two Orthodox Churches05:38 Why Priests Stay09:08 Control and Coercion12:49 Why Congregations Attend14:25 How Narratives Spread17:53 SBU Monitoring and Cases22:40 Dangerous War Narratives24:37 Occupied Territory Playbook26:47 Democracy vs Obedience29:25 Church as Occupation Network33:08 Surviving Inside the System37:06 Weaponizing Religion Abroad----------
20 Lakh Acre of Govt Lands Under Church Occupation? | Govt to Take Over | Leftist CSDS Also Defunded
This week on the program, a special full show with Palestinian author, historian and academic Dr. Ramzy Baroud about his latest book Before the Flood: A Gaza Family Memoir Across Three Generations of Colonial Invasion, Occupation, and War in Palestine. Dr. Baroud takes us through long duree, a history that has not been amputated and distorted by colonial narrative. He explains the failings of corporate media, of political discourse, and the need for oppressed peoples to tell their own stories, without countering, without arguing the points of the oppressor. Because dignity cannot be divided. Freedom cannot be sectionalized. Dr. Ramzy Baroud is a Palestinian author, historian, and academic whose work centers on Palestinian history, liberation, and peoples history. He is the editor of The Palestine Chronicle, a position he has held since 1999, where he has helped shape an alternative narrative grounded in lived Palestinian experience. He holds a Ph.D. in Palestine Studies from the University of Exeter and has taught mass communication at Curtin University. He is also a Non-Resident Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Zaim University in Istanbul. Dr. Baroud is the author of eight books, including Searching Jenin, The Second Palestinian Intifada, My Father Was a Freedom Fighter, The Last Earth, and These Chains Will Be Broken. He is also the co-editor, with Ilan Papp, of Our Vision for Liberation, and the forthcoming volume Gaza Rising. His latest book, Before the Flood, reconstructs Gaza's modern history through family memory and intergenerational testimony. His work brings together history, journalism, and political analysis, contributing to global conversations on Palestine, decolonization, and resistance. He has lectured widely at universities and institutions around the world, engaging audiences on Palestine, media, and popular resistance. The News That Didn't Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy. The post Dignity Cannot Be Divided: In Conversation with Dr. Ramzy Baroud appeared first on KPFA.
What was it like to live in a city experiencing occupation by a foreign army? What did it mean when a family had to quarter an officer in their home? More specifically, how did military occupation affect the women and men who lived in those cities, and alter the gender system? Lauren Duval's The Home Front: Revolutionary Households, Military Occupation, and the Making of American Independence (Omohundro Institute and the University of North Carolina Press, 2025) tackles the these questions by looking at the experiences of a wide range of Americans, Black and white, in the cities occupied by the British during the American Revolution. Why the household? Because this was the primary social and economic unit of the day, a site where people during the war encountered unprecedented threats to their sense of social order. By looking at households, we gain not only an intimate view of the experience of war, but also a sweeping interpretation of the effects of war on American understandings of gender and power. Some Americans saw military occupation as a threat, full stop. It challenged men's senses of power and authority over their families, and the ever-present threat of rape hovered over women and girls. But because occupation could loosen some of the patriarchal control in the household, it could also offer tempting new opportunities. Free and enslaved Black people could take advantage of the disruptions to make calculated moves to gain freedom—or more freedom than they currently enjoyed. Black and white women could hope for a different kind of freedom when they forged relationships with military men. In all, The Home Front reveals entire worlds of young women, British officers, anxious patriarchs, enslaved Black women, German soldiers, and wives struggling to survive while their husbands or sons languished in prison or served in the military. And when the book turns to the postwar era, it reveals a stunning assessment of how those experiences of military occupation altered Americans' views of household social order. As a result, Duval's book does something unusual: it threads the needle between military history and the history of gender, women, and sexuality. Join us for this conversation between Lauren Duval and Carolyn Eastman (The Strange Genius of Mr. O and President of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic) and get a glimpse into the experience of living during wartime.

What does life under occupation look like - not through headlines, but through the eyes of those who have lived alongside Palestinian communities?We speak with Tim Livesey and Julia Race, recently returned Ecumenical Accompaniers (EAPPI), who spent months living and working in the occupied West Bank. Drawing on firsthand experience from the Jordan Valley and Bethlehem, they share eyewitness testimony of daily life under military occupation and the human stories behind the headlines.Together, they explore how settlement expansion, movement restrictions, demolitions, settler violence and the erosion of Palestinian communities fit into broader political and legal developments, including the International Court of Justice's 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel's occupation unlawful. They also highlight the work of Israeli and Palestinian human rights organisations, the principle of sumud (steadfastness), and practical ways people in the UK can take informed action.GuestsTim Livesey first visited Palestine in 1987, six weeks before the outbreak of the first intifada, and has been a frequent visitor since then. He returned from a three-month spell as an Ecumenical Accompanier on the West Bank last November. He has been a UK diplomat, senior adviser to the Archbishops of Canterbury and Westminster, Chief of Staff to Ed Miliband as Leader of the Opposition, and Chief Executive of the development charity Embrace the Middle East.Julia Race studied languages and has spent most of her career working for the British Council including postings to Cairo, Cape Town, Rome and Brussels. She now advises organisations from around the world on external relations, governance and fundraising. She first visited Israel and Palestine in 2007 and has just returned from three months as an Ecumenical Accompanier (or human rights monitor) based in Bethlehem.Listen & SubscribeWatch this episode on YouTube, or listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.If you enjoyed this conversation, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others.

Today's guest is Dr. Daniel Bar-Tal, Professor Emeritus at the School of Education, Tel Aviv University. Dr. Bar-Tal is a noted psychologist, who since the early eighties has focused on political psychology and the study of the socio-psychological foundations of intractable conflicts and peacebuilding, including reconciliation. In this episode, Alon and Daniel discuss differing narratives between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs and how to bridge that gap, the decline of the Israeli peace movement, and changing public opinion toward Israel abroad. Full bio Dr. Daniel Bar-Tal is Professor Emeritus at the School of Education, Tel Aviv University. Dr. Bar-Tal received his graduate training in social psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, and completed his doctoral thesis in 1974. He previously served as a Director of the Walter Lebach Research Institute for Jewish-Arab Coexistence through Education, Tel Aviv University and as President of the International Society of Political Psychology, and was Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Palestine Israel Journal. He has won numerous awards, including the Alexander George Award of the International Society of Political Psychology, and Morton Deutsch Conflict Resolution Award of the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict, and Violence. He was awarded the Golestan Fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences in 2000-2001, and in 2013 received honorary membership in the Polish Society of Social Psychology. Since the early eighties his interest has shifted to political psychology and the study of the socio-psychological foundations of intractable conflicts and peace building, including reconciliation. In the latter area, he studied the evolvement of the socio-psychological infrastructure in times of intractable conflict that consists of shared societal beliefs of ethos of conflict, collective memory, and emotional collective orientations. He also studied socio-psychological barriers to peacemaking and ways to overcome them, and acquisition of the conflict repertoire by children and adolescents. Within this scope of studies he developed with his collaborators theoretical frameworks for concepts like siege mentality, intractable conflict, delegitimization, collective victimhood, socio-psychological infrastructure, culture of conflict, effects of lasting occupation, barriers to peace making, construction and struggle over conflict supporting narratives, acquisition of intergroup psychological repertoire, early development of the ethos of conflict, transitional context, collective identity, and peace education, among many others. The work in these areas has resulted in books, Group Beliefs (1990), Stereotypes and Prejudice in Conflict: Representations of Arabs in Israeli Jewish Society (2005), and Intractable conflicts: Socio-psychological foundations and dynamics (2013). He co-edited a wide variety of volumes, and in addition has published over two hundred articles and chapters in major journals, books and encyclopedias. Through the years he has lectured widely on his work, and worked as Visiting Professor at Vanderbilt University, Brandeis University, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, University of Muenster, University of Maryland College Park, Polish Academy of Science, University of Palermo, and Australian National University. He retired in 2015 and decided to devote his second career to political activism. He founded a peace movement Save Israel-Stop the Occupation with the goal to end the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and establish the Palestinian state.
The American Revolution was not fought on distant battlefields, but in private homes. British occupation produced an aggrieved American population, bound by shared domestic disorder and emotional distress. British officers usurped male authority to quarter themselves with families, patriot wives governed households in their husbands' absence, daughters flirted with officers, domestic servants disappeared with soldiers, and enslaved kin absconded to British lines in pursuit of freedom. Lauren Duval joins us to talk about her new book, The Home Front: Revolutionary Households, Military Occupation, and the Making of American Independence which captures daily life during the Revolution through the eyes and ears of those intimately experiencing it Tell us what you think!

Theatrical stages often mirror the intricate evolution of the societies that build them. Professor Carmen Gitre explores the burgeoning performance culture of Cairo between 1867 and 1930. This era witnessed a shift from street storytelling and shadow plays to formal theater houses designed for an emerging class of Western-educated intellectuals. The discussion traverses the grand spectacle of the Suez Canal's opening to the subversive nationalist songs of performers like Mounira al-Mahdiyya. Through this historical lens, the stage appears as a critical site for negotiating modernity, colonial influence, and Egyptian identity. 00:00 Introduction 01:28 The Evolution of Performance 03:56 Commissioning an Operatic Staple for a Global Stage 07:35 Street Storytelling & the Shadows of Earlier Traditions 12:02 Urban Redesign Mirroring a Parisian Vision of Modernity 18:46 Defensive Developmentalism & the Weight of Sovereign Debt 27:21 Syrian Practitioners & the Burgeoning Role of the Press 32:31 Efendi vs. Basha 39:01 Vernacular Choices for an Elevated Public Education 44:31 Satirical Observations through a Modernist Lens 51:14 The nuances of the women's movement 57:04 Disembodied Voices in the Era of Early Recording 58:00 Performances Spilling into the Nationalist Fervor of 1919 01:03:02 Cinematic Transitions and Legacies for the Everyman Carmen Gitre is an Associate Professor of Middle East History and Associate Chair of History at Virginia Tech University. She earned her Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 2011. From 2011 to 2014, she taught in the International Studies and History Departments at Seattle University. Her academic interests include cultural history, imperialism, and the relationship between performance, identity, and modernity in Egypt. Her book, Acting Egyptian: Theater, Identity, and Political Culture in Cairo, 1867-1930, was published by the University of Texas Press in 2019. Other publications include 'The Dramatic Middle East: Performance as History in Egypt and Beyond,' and 'Nonsense and Morality: Comedy in Interwar Egypt.'

On 21 June 1991, the last transport carrying Soviet troops crossed Czechoslovakia's eastern border, bringing to an end the 23-year military presence that followed the Warsaw Pact invasion of August 1968. Today, we look back on the events that shaped an entire generation with historian Peter Jašek from the National Memory Institute (ÚPN). Together, we trace the story from the invasion and subsequent occupation to the withdrawal of Soviet forces in the wake of the Velvet Revolution. Drawing on archival recordings, we also revisit the memories of key figures from the period, including Michael Kocáb, who served as deputy chairman of the parliamentary commission overseeing the withdrawal of the Central Group of Soviet Forces from Czechoslovakia.
Have you ever felt like your eating disorder didn't have a name, or that what you were going through just didn't quite fit? This episode is for you.This week on the Full of Beans Podcast, I'm joined by Dr Ruth Cruickshank, Associate Professor at Royal Holloway, University of London. Ruth has a background in French literature, but has carved out a truly unique space in eating disorder research, using her expertise in critical reading, food studies and her own lived experience of OSFED to ask the questions that others simply aren't asking.Ruth is the only academic in the humanities working on OSFED, and she is doing extraordinary work to challenge why the most common eating disorder diagnosis remains so systemically overlooked.In this episode, we explore:How Ruth's career took her from French literature and advertising to eating disorder researchHow representations of food in fiction carry deeper psychological and cultural meaningsWhat OSFED is and why it matters that so many people have never heard of itWhy OSFED and UFED remain under-researched despite being the most common eating disorder diagnosesThe danger of diagnostic criteria focused on weight and behaviour rather than distress and daily impactWhy not having a name for your experience can be so isolating and why that validation mattersThe "not sick enough" narrative and how diagnostic language can keep people stuckWhether a truly person-centred approach to eating disorder treatment could change everythingWhat Ruth wants anyone to know if they've never been able to name their experienceConnect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTubeConnect with Ruth via her Research ProfileRead Ruth's research:Challenging the enduring epistemic injustice of eating disorders: Critically re-reading Occupation food insecurity in the Trente Glorieuses with Elsa Triolet and the 1944–1945 ‘Minnesota Starvation Experiment'Not knowing and the problematics of naming eating disorders: OSFED/EDNOS/TCA-NS and Annie Ernaux's Mémoire de fille [A Girl's Story]⚠️ Content Note: This episode includes discussion of OSFED, anorexia, bulimia, and the difficulty of language in eating disorder treatment.

Nous sommes en 1880, dans la salle d'étude du domicile familial des Cahen d'Anvers, situé au 66, avenue Montaigne, à Paris. C'est ici que la petite Irène s'apprête à vivre un moment historique. Âgée de seulement huit ans, elle pose pour le célèbre Auguste Renoir dans une ravissante robe bleu clair ornée de rubans et de dentelles. Si ce portrait est aujourd'hui mondialement connu sous le nom de « La Petite Fille au ruban bleu », sa renommée n'a pas été spontanée. Au moment de sa création, le père d'Irène, Louis Cahen d'Anvers, déteste cette œuvre impressionniste qu'il qualifie d'horreur et, d'ailleurs, il la relègue dans un placard. La Deuxième Guerre mondiale va en faire le symbole de l'effondrement d'une élite cosmopolite. En juillet 1941, le portrait d'Irène Cahen d'Anvers est envoyé au château de Chambord pour y être protégé, mais il est finalement spolié par les autorités allemandes. Cet acte de pillage marque le début de la fin pour les descendants d'Irène qui se croyaient protégés par leur nom et leur passé au service de la France. Irène voit sa fille Béatrice et ses petits-enfants, Fanny et Bertrand Reinach, être internés au camp de Drancy. Léon Reinach, son gendre, lui aussi emprisonné, tentera bien de réclamer ses biens spoliés, mais il se heurtera au refus catégorique de l'administration de Vichy. Le cauchemar familial se poursuit par la déportation de la quasi-totalité de la lignée vers le camp d'extermination d'Auschwitz. Irène, elle, survivra à l'Occupation grâce à un certificat de non-appartenance à la race juive qu'elle s'est fait délivrer avec une audace qui aurait pu lui coûter la vie. En 1946, « La petite fille au ruban bleu » est retrouvé par les « Monuments Men », dans un château en Allemagne. Il est restitué à Irène Cahen d'Anvers qui, contre toute attente, décide de le vendre à un riche industriel lié au régime nazi. Voici l'histoire d'un monde disparu, celui d'une famille foudroyée par l'Histoire… Avec Natalie David-Weill, journaliste et écrivaine. « La petite fille au ruban bleu » ; éd. Flammarion sujets traités : tragique , Irène Cahen d'Anvers, ruban, bleu, Auguste Renoir, impressionniste, Drancy, Auschwitz, Occupation, pillage Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Iran says an end to Israel's Lebanon occupation is part of the interim deal with the U.S.
Albert Ier avait survécu à la guerre, aux tranchées, à l'invasion de son pays, et il était devenu pour les Belges bien plus qu'un roi : une figure de résistance. Mais derrière le souverain, il y avait un homme qui cherchait encore à disparaître, quelques heures, loin du palais, face à la roche. Un jour de février 1934, cette liberté qu'il aimait tant va ouvrir l'un des épisodes les plus troublants de l'histoire royale belge.Franck Ferrand vous plonge dans le destin hors du commun de ce souverain courageux, qui a choisi de rester aux côtés de son armée pendant le conflit plutôt que de fuir, devenant ainsi une figure emblématique de la résistance belge. Né dans une branche cadette de la famille royale, Albert Ier n'était pas destiné à régner. Pourtant, le sort en a décidé autrement lorsque son neveu, le prince Léopold, est décédé en 1869. Devenu roi en 1909, Albert Ier s'impose rapidement comme un monarque moderne et proche de son peuple, formant avec la reine Élisabeth un couple remarquable.Mais le règne d'Albert Ier est loin d'être de tout repos. À peine installé sur le trône, la Belgique est envahie par l'Allemagne en août 1914. Refusant de capituler, le roi choisit de rester sur le front aux côtés de son armée, devenant ainsi le symbole de la résistance belge face à l'occupant. Sa présence obstinée sur le champ de bataille, aux côtés de ses soldats, fait de lui un véritable roi héros, surnommé le « roi chevalier ».Après la victoire en 1918, Albert Ier doit relever un pays meurtri et ruiné par quatre années de conflit. Mais les défis ne s'arrêtent pas là pour le souverain, qui doit faire face à la montée des régimes autoritaires en Europe et aux tensions internes de son royaume, notamment la question flamande.Malgré cette lourde charge, Albert Ier trouve un exutoire dans sa passion pour la montagne. Alpiniste accompli, il s'évade régulièrement loin du protocole royal pour retrouver la liberté et la sérénité dans les Alpes. Mais c'est lors de l'une de ces escapades en solitaire que le roi connaîtra une fin tragique, trouvant la mort dans un accident d'escalade en 1934.Rejoignez Franck Ferrand pour découvrir le destin exceptionnel de ce roi qui a marqué l'histoire de la Belgique et de l'Europe
In 1898, on the eve of the Spanish-American War, the US Army seemed minuscule and ill-equipped for global conflict. Yet over the next fifteen years, its soldiers defeated Spain and pacified nationalist insurgencies in both Cuba and the Philippines. Despite their lack of experience in colonial administration, American troops also ruled and transformed the daily lives of the 8 million people who inhabited these tropical islands.How was this relatively small and inexperienced army able to wage wars in Cuba and the Philippines and occupy them? American soldiers depended on tens of thousands of Cubans and Filipinos, both for military operations and civil government. Whether compelled to labor for free or voluntarily working for wages, Cubans and Filipinos, suspended between civilian and soldier status, enabled the making of a new US overseas empire by interpreting, guiding, building, selling sex, and many other kinds of work for American troops. In The Work of Empire: War, Occupation, and the Making of American Colonialism in Cuba and the Philippines (UNC Press, 2025), Justin Jackson reveals how their labor forged the politics, economics, and culture of American colonialism in Cuba and the Philippines and left an enduring imprint on these islands and the US Army itself. Jackson offers new ways to understand the rise of American military might and how it influenced a globalizing imperial world. Learn more about your ad choices.

Prior to the American Revolution, the urban centers of colonial North America had little direct experience of war. With the outbreak of violence, British forces occupied every major city, invading the most private of spaces: the home. By closely considering the dynamics of the household—how people moved within it, thought about it, and wielded power over it—The Home Front reveals the ways in which occupation fundamentally upended the structures of colonial society and created opportunities for unprecedented economic and social mobility. In occupied cities, British officers usurped male authority to quarter themselves with families, patriot wives governed households in their husbands' absence, daughters flirted with officers, domestic servants disappeared with soldiers, and enslaved kin absconded to British lines in pursuit of freedom. As Lauren Duval shows, the unique conditions of occupation produced an aggrieved American population bound by shared emotional distress and domestic disorder. In the wake of this deeply disorienting experience, elite Americans deliberately reconsecrated the private home as a national symbol that epitomized masculine authority. Building on a stunning wealth of primary sources, Duval vividly captures daily life during the Revolution through the eyes and ears of those who intimately experienced it, showing how men and women of all races, statuses, and states of freedom understood its implications for their lives, families, and the nascent American Republic. In this episode Dr. Lauren Duval (University of Oklahoma) and Leah Cargin (University of Oklahoma and Journal of Women's History) discuss The Home Front: Revolutionary Households, Military Occupation, and the Making of American Independence (Omohundro Institute and UNC Press, 2025). We begin the episode by discussing what the home meant to men and women in the revolutionary era. Next, we discuss revisionist histories and how violence has often been obscured from the revolutionary narrative. I commend Duval for her extensive archival research and she shares about the satisfying feeling of finding sources that speak to one another from across the Atlantic.

Silver Lining-Iran War Ends US Military Occupation of Middle East by Ron Paul Liberty Report
You already have 300+ leads sitting in your social media connections right now — Ray Higdon is here to show you exactly why you're not reaching them, and the one skill that changes everything. In this episode, Ray breaks down the power of cold market messaging: what it is, why most salespeople avoid it out of fear or uncertainty, and how mastering it means you will literally never run out of people to prospect for the rest of your life. This isn't a trick or a loophole — it's a proven outreach skill grounded in psychology, intentional language, and consistent action. Ray shares his three favorite cold market approaches — Location, Occupation, and Intelligent Comment — and walks through how he's actively using them right now to prospect for a business and faith-based program he recently joined. You'll hear how one woman in Ray's challenge had never gotten a lead as far into the process as she did after applying these frameworks, simply because she learned how to say the right things in a more powerful way. Ray makes it clear: cold market never runs out, and when you combine skill with volume, sales are inevitable. If you've been sitting on hundreds of connections you've never messaged, this episode is your wake-up call. Ray lays out the two variables that determine your results — the quality of your messaging skills and the number of messages you're willing to send — and reminds you that the compound effect of consistent outreach typically produces its biggest results in the first 14 to 30 days. Show up, do the work, and start treating your social media connections as the goldmine they already are. —
