She breaks down how the Seventh Day Adventist Church, John Harvey Kellogg, and powerful food and academic institutions worked together to manufacture the "Blue Zones" longevity story, and why the real history of Sardinia, Okinawa, Ikaria, and Loma Linda tells a very different tale about meat, pork, and animal fat. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.Belinda Fettke is an independent researcher known for investigating the historical, religious, and commercial influences on modern dietary guidelines. After her husband, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gary Fettke, was investigated for advising patients to reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates, she began researching the origins of nutrition policy and public health messaging.

Episode 253 of the Transition Drill podcast, explores Marine Corps combat service, life after injury, and veteran transition for military veterans and first responders navigating identity, trauma, and purpose after the job. You'll hear Marcus Wilson on surviving an IED blast, fighting his way back into uniform, and what it takes to rebuild a life when the mission changes.Marcus grew up in Dermott, Arkansas, with the Marine Corps already planted in his mind. His dad had served, and a photo of him in dress blues became a reminder of the path Marcus wanted. After graduating high school in 1994, he left for boot camp in San Diego, became an infantry Marine, and committed early to making the Marine Corps a career.His service took him from Camp Pendleton to Okinawa, Korea, Australia, Hawaii, Afghanistan, and Iraq. After 9/11, Marcus wanted to be where the fight was. In 2005, he deployed to Afghanistan with 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines and experienced combat during a deployment that included Operation Red Wings in his unit's area of operations. Then came Iraq in 2006, where the pace and violence in Haditha were constant.On November 14, 2006, Marcus was serving as a QRF platoon sergeant when his vehicle was hit by an IED. Three Marines were killed. Marcus survived, but lost his left leg above the knee and suffered multiple serious injuries, including broken bones, fractured vertebrae, broken ribs, and a punctured lung. After 48 surgeries, years of rehab, and learning to walk with a prosthetic, he fought to stay in the Marine Corps instead of leaving at 12 years. He returned to active duty, became a First Sergeant, served at the School of Infantry, and retired after 21 years.But retirement brought a different fight. Marcus talks openly about depression, losing his sense of purpose, staying in bed for nearly a year, and finally getting help through the Veterans Center. Today, he's found purpose in the outdoors through Wounded Warrior Outdoors, guiding veterans and first responders on hunting and fishing trips across North America. His story is about dedication, mental health, brotherhood, and finding a new mission after service.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

What if one of the most powerful medicines for longevity, resilience, happiness, cognitive health, and disease prevention wasn't found in a supplement, a prescription, or a cutting-edge biohack—but in the people around you? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien dives into one of the most overlooked health crises of our time: loneliness. Drawing from the landmark 85-year Harvard Adult Development Study, the U.S. Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic report, Blue Zones research, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, Darin reveals why meaningful human connection may be one of the strongest predictors of health and longevity ever discovered. From oxytocin, cortisol, inflammation, vagal tone, and nervous system regulation to suburban design, social media, and the collapse of community structures, Darin exposes the hidden biological costs of isolation—and offers a practical roadmap for rebuilding the human connections we were biologically designed to need.     What You'll Learn The stunning findings from Harvard's 85-year Adult Development Study Why relationships outperform wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise as predictors of well-being How loneliness increases the risk of premature death, dementia, heart disease, and stroke Why social isolation creates measurable biological stress responses The role of oxytocin in lowering inflammation and regulating stress How human connection affects the autonomic nervous system Why Blue Zone communities consistently prioritize social connection The biological difference between digital interaction and real human presence How modern architecture and technology contribute to loneliness Why community is a biological necessity—not a luxury Practical ways to rebuild meaningful relationships today How connection may be one of the most powerful health interventions available   Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste and reducing plastic waste 00:02:49 – The most powerful health study ever conducted 00:03:01 – Harvard follows 724 people for 85 years 00:03:40 – The surprising predictor of a long, healthy life 00:04:00 – Why relationships beat wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise 00:04:42 – The Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic warning 00:05:19 – Introducing the medicine you're not taking 00:05:53 – The health benefits of genuine community 00:06:21 – The fatal convenience of modern life 00:06:47 – Replacing human connection with digital connection 00:07:12 – Why modern convenience may be creating isolation 00:07:23 – Social isolation and premature mortality 00:08:02 – Loneliness and the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day 00:08:43 – Increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and dementia 00:09:10 – Why loneliness is a biological threat 00:09:52 – The science behind social isolation 00:10:11 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:12:06 – Humans as the most socially dependent species 00:12:53 – Why connection regulates the nervous system 00:13:29 – The autonomic nervous system and social safety 00:13:56 – The brain's constant question: Am I safe?

Human connection isn't a luxury, a personality trait, or a nice bonus when life slows down. It is biology. It is medicine. And in a world increasingly designed for isolation, rebuilding community may be one of the most important health decisions we ever make."     Bibliography/Sources: Primary Research — Loneliness, Social Isolation & Health Associated Press.

Lawrence and Arthur H. Compton, gives the following report, classified Top Secret, to the Interim Committee: The report is titled "RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE IMMEDIATE USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS" and begins as follows: [Note to self - some emphasis included here to assist in reading as a script, but there's no font differences in the original.] You have asked us to comment on the initial use of the new weapon. This use, in our opinion, should be such as to promote a satisfactory adjustment of our international relations. At the same time, we recognize our obligation to our nation to use the weapons to help save American lives in the Japanese war. (1) To accomplish these ends we recommend that before the weapons are used not only Britain, but also Russia, France, and China be advised that we have made considerable progress in our work on atomic weapons, that these may be ready to use during the present war, and that we would welcome suggestions as to how we can cooperate in making this development contribute to improved international relations. (2) The opinions of scientific colleagues on the initial use of these weapons are not unanimous; they range from the proposal of a purely technical demonstration to that of the military application best designed to induce surrender. Those who advocate a purely technical demonstration would wish to outlaw the use of atomic weapons, and have feared that if we use the weapons now our position in future negotiations will be prejudiced. Others emphasize the opportunity of saving American lives by immediate military use, and believe that such use will improve the international prospects, in that they are more concerned with the prevention of war than with the elimination of this specific weapon. We find ourselves closer to these latter views; we can propose no technical demonstration likely to bring an end to the war; we see no acceptable alternative to direct military use. (3) With regard to these general aspects of the use of atomic energy, it is clear that we, as scientific men, have no proprietary rights. It is true that we are among the few citizens who have had occasion to give thoughtful consideration to these problems during the past few years. We have, however, no claim to special competence in solving the political, social, and military problems which are presented by the advent of atomic power.   The report is signed by Robert Oppenheimer, with the note "for the panel" https://www.atomicarchive.com/resources/documents/manhattan-project/interim-committee.html   As this week ends, the Trinity atomic bomb test has not yet been scheduled. However, it is exactly 30 days away.    Summer of Trinity is a part of Mapping History here on The Latest Generation.

Ikeda Hayato managed to garner the necessary support to become the President of the LDP and the Prime Minister of Japan after Kishi Nobusuke's resignation in 1960. He would prove to be almost the polar opposite of his arch-conservative predecessor, creating much of the social safety net which Japan continues to enjoy today. His successor, Sato Eisaku, lobbied for the return of Okinawa Prefecture and was forced to wrangle with complicated geopolitical challenges and domestic disturbances.Support the show My latest novel, "Califia's Crusade," is now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books, Bookshop.org, and many other online platforms!

VOV1 - Mặc dù đang và đang áp dụng đồng loạt nhiều biện pháp tổng thể để đối phó với tình trạng giảm dân số tự nhiên, nhưng Nhật Bản vẫn chưa giải quyết được một vấn đề cốt lõi là nâng cao tỷ lệ sinh sản của phụ nữ. Theo báo cáo “Xu hướng dân số” do Bộ Y tế và Lao động Nhật Bản vừa công bố, số trẻ sơ sinh ra đời tại nước này trong năm 2025 là 671.236 trẻ, giảm tới 14.937 trẻ so với năm 2024. Theo đó, tỷ lệ sinh sản trung bình trong đời một phụ nữ Nhật Bản chỉ còn 1,14 điểm, giảm 0,01 điểm so với năm trước đó. Đây là năm thứ 10 liên tiếp tỷ lệ sinh của phụ nữ Nhật Bản suy giảm và là mức thấp nhất từ trước đến nay.Trong số các địa phương của Nhật Bản, thủ đô Tokyo xếp cuối bảng tỷ lệ sinh trung bình 3 năm liên tiếp với mức 0,96 điểm, Hokkaido và Miyagi đồng hạng thứ 2 từ dưới lên với 1,0 điểm. Địa phương có tỷ lệ sinh cao nhất là Okinawa – cực Nam Nhật Bản, với 1,52 điểm, tiếp theo là Miyazaki và Fukui với các mức lần lượt là 1,46 và 1,45 điểm. Từ những con số nêu trên có thể thấy rõ tình trạng “Tây cao, Đông thấp”, tức là các địa phương phía Tây Nhật Bản có tỷ lệ sinh cao hơn phía Đông.Trong một diễn biến có liên quan, theo một báo cáo khác do Bộ Nội vụ và Truyền thông Nhật Bản vừa công bố, tổng dân số của nước này tính đến ngày 01/10/2025 là 123.049.524 người, giảm 2,5% so với cuộc điều tra dân số gần nhất vào năm 2020. Đây là lần giảm thứ ba liên tiếp trong chu kỳ điều tra dân số 5 năm một lần của Nhật Bản, đồng thời là mức giảm lớn nhất được ghi nhận trong lịch sử.Trong những năm gần đây, Chính phủ Nhật Bản đã và đang áp dụng đồng loạt nhiều biện pháp tổng thể nhằm khuyến khích kết hôn, sinh con để đối phó với tình trạng giảm dân số tự nhiên, bao gồm cả các biện pháp nâng cao sức khỏe sinh sản, giãn cách thời gian lao động, ưu đãi về thu nhập và nhà ở… nhưng vẫn chưa đạt được kết quả như mong đợi. Theo đó, việc duy trì dân số vẫn tiếp tục là bài toán nan giải đối với Tokyo.Tuấn Nhật/VOV- JapanBộ Y tế và Lao động Nhật Bản (ảnh VOV Tokyo)

Join the Veterans Breakfast Club on Thursday, June 4 at 7:00pm ET for a special livestream conversation with historian Nicholas Evan Sarantakes about his acclaimed new book The Battle of Manila: Poisoned Victory in the Pacific War. In February 1945, American and Japanese forces fought one of the most brutal urban battles of World War II: the month-long struggle for Manila. Often overshadowed by Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the Battle of Manila became the third-bloodiest city battle of the war, leaving much of the Philippine capital destroyed and more than 100,000 Filipino civilians dead. Sarantakes' groundbreaking book examines the campaign from American, Japanese, and Filipino perspectives, revealing the chaos of house-to-house fighting, the role of Filipino guerrillas, and the devastating human cost of liberation. Nicholas Evan Sarantakes is a professor at the U.S. Naval War College and an award-winning historian whose work explores the Pacific War, military strategy, and American foreign policy. His new study sheds light on a pivotal but often overlooked campaign that helped determine the final outcome of World War II in the Pacific. #BattleOfManila #WWII #WorldWarII #PacificWar #Philippines #MilitaryHistory #USArmy #DouglasMacArthur #NicholasSarantakes #VeteransBreakfastClub #WW2History #HistoryLivestream #Manila1945 #PacificTheater #WWIIHistory

VOV1 - Bão nhiệt đới số 6 có tên gọi Jangmi đang ở rất gần các tỉnh phía Tây của Nhật Bản, kèm theo gió giật mạnh và mưa lớn, làm gia tăng nguy cơ xảy ra thiên tai. Cơ quan Khí tượng Nhật Bản đang kêu gọi người dân nâng cao cảnh giác để đảm bảo an toàn và sẵn sàng ứng phó với cơ bão.  Theo Cơ quan Khí tượng Nhật Bản, tính đến 7 giờ sáng 2/6, bão Jangmi đang di chuyển theo hướng bắc - đông bắc với tốc độ 25 km/giờ trên vùng biển cách thành phố Amami, tỉnh Kagoshima khoảng 80 km về phía tây bắc. Áp suất trung tâm là 975 hectopascal, tốc độ gió tối đa là 30 mét/giây, và tốc độ gió tức thời tối đa là 40 mét/giây.Vào thời điểm này, khu vực quần đảo Amami đang nằm trong vùng bão, mây đen bao phủ khu vực Amami và Kyushu, với lượng mưa đạt mức 34 mm trong một giờ tại thị trấn Yakushima, tỉnh Kagoshima. Tốc độ gió tức thời tối đa được ghi nhận trong ba giờ tính đến 6 giờ sáng nay là 32 mét/giây tại Naze, thành phố Amami, tỉnh Kagoshima.Dự báo trong ngày hôm nay, tốc độ gió tối đa tại các khu vực ở miền nam Kyushu, Amami và Shikoku là 30 mét/giây, 25 mét/giây ở Okinawa, miền bắc Kyushu và Kinki, 20 mét/giây ở các vùng Chugoku và Tokai… Kèm theo đó, biển được dự báo sẽ động dữ dội với sóng cao 9 mét ở phía nam Kyushu và Amami, 8 mét ở Okinawa và Shikoku, 6 mét ở phía bắc Kyushu và Kinki… Lượng mưa dự kiến ​​trong 24 giờ tới tính đến sáng ngày mai (03/06) là 350 mm ở Kinki, 300 mm ở miền nam Kyushu, Shikoku và Tokai, 250 mm ở miền bắc Kyushu, 150 mm ở quần đảo Izu và Amami, và 100 mm ở Kanto, bao gồm cả Thủ đô Tokyo…Đặc biệt, các dải mưa tuyến tính có thể hình thành ở miền nam Kyushu và Amami, làm gia tăng nguy cơ xảy ra thiên tai. Cơ quan Khí tượng Nhật Bản đang kêu gọi người dân hết sức cảnh giác trước gió mạnh, sóng lớn, sạt lở đất, lũ lụt ở các khu vực trũng thấp và nước sông tràn bờ, đồng thời thực hiện ngay các biện pháp phòng ngừa, sẵn sàng sơ tán để đảm bảo an toàn.Theo Sở Cứu hỏa tỉnh Okinawa, cho đến nay, bão Jangmi đã làm ít nhất 11 người tại tỉnh này bị thương, chủ yếu bị ngã do gió giật mạnh, đồ vật bị rơi, đổ vào người… Trong khi đó, theo thông tin từ Công ty Điện lực Kyushu, tính đến 4 giờ sáng nay, ít nhất 27.000 hộ gia đình tại tỉnh Kagoshima đã bị mất điện do ảnh hưởng của bão. Công ty Điện lực Okinawa cũng cho biết, tính đến 6 giờ sáng nay, tỉnh này cũng ghi nhận có khoảng 20.500 hộ gia đình bị mất điện.Trước đó, các hãng hàng không Nhật Bản xác nhận, bão Jangmi đã khiến khoảng 400 chuyến bay bị hủy, chủ yếu là các chuyến bay có lộ trình đến và đi từ Okinawa, đồng thời gây gián đoạn hoạt động giao thông trên toàn tỉnh, bao gồm cả các tuyến đường sắt cao tốc nối giữa các địa phương. Các công ty đường sắt và hàng không Nhật Bản đang kêu gọi người dân cần thường xuyên kiểm tra và cập nhật các thông tin mới nhất liên quan.Giáo sư Kazuhisa Tsuboki thuộc Đại học Nagoya và Đại học Quốc gia Yokohama - một chuyên gia về cơ chế hình thành mưa bão cảnh báo: “Có nguy cơ một dải mưa kéo dài sẽ hình thành khi một đợt không khí ẩm thấp đổ bộ, trong khi bản thân cơn bão đã mang theo một lượng lớn hơi nước, điều này có thể dẫn đến mưa lớn liên tục. Vì vậy, mọi người dân cần phải hết sức cảnh giác. Đặc biệt, hãy kiểm tra bản đồ nguy hiểm, vị trí các nơi sơ tán an toàn và luôn tục cập nhật thông tin thời tiết phòng chống thiên tai mới nhất”.Ngọc Huân/VOV- TokyoTải vềPlayMuteRemaining Time -3:03Bão Jangmi đã khiến khoảng 400 chuyến bay bị hủy (ảnh: Reuters)

Getting slandered while you're still trying to love people is a special kind of pain and Psalm 109 doesn't sanitize it. We start with that exact tension: hateful words, false claims, and the choice to keep praying instead of turning your heart into a courtroom. From there we move into a straightforward prayer for listeners, families, and leaders, plus a reminder that gratitude and obedience are not “nice extras” in Christian faith, they're daily practices that reshape how we respond when life gets sharp. We also read Proverbs on marriage and talk plainly about conflict in the home, choosing wisely, and why biblical marriage advice has to be measured against God's Word rather than whatever our culture is selling. Then we sit with John 7, where the crowd debates Jesus and the leaders try to arrest Him, and we ask the uncomfortable question behind it all: do we resist Christ because we don't want to give up control? Jesus' offer of living water lands differently when you admit your thirst for attention, power, and being seen. The back half widens the lens to public life and memory: a report of church arson in Germany, a gripping Medal of Honor citation for Navy corpsman Robert Eugene Bush on Okinawa, and a Woodrow Wilson quote arguing that the Word of God must be foundational in schooling and national strength. If you care about Bible reading, Christian discipleship, spiritual resilience, and the future of faith in America, there's a lot here to wrestle with.

VOV1 - Mặc dù đã và đang liên tục đối diện với tình trạng giá cả các mặt hàng thiết yếu gia tăng không cản nổi, nhưng bắt đầu từ ngày mai 1/6, người Nhật lại phải đón một cơn “bão giá” mới.Theo báo cáo vừa được công bố do công ty dữ liệu doanh nghiệp hàng đầu Nhật Bản Teikoku Data Bank (TDB) tập hợp từ 195 nhà sản xuất thực phẩm chủ yếu của nước này, bắt đầu từ 1/6, sẽ có tới 1.078 mặt hàng lên giá, với mức tăng trung bình 14%. Trong số đó, có 304 mặt hàng là thực phẩm đã qua chế biến như mỳ ăn liền, đồ hộp, thức ăn lên men… Đây đều là những thứ không thể thiếu trên bàn ăn hàng ngày của người dân Nhật Bản. TDB còn cho biết sẽ có 2.269 mặt hàng nữa lên giá từ tháng 7 tới.Theo đó, nếu tính chung từ tháng 1 đến tháng 10/2026, có tới 9.361 mặt hàng thực phẩm chủ yếu bị tăng giá tại thị trường Nhật Bản. Theo các nhà sản xuất, có 3 nguyên nhân chính dẫn tới tình trạng nêu trên. Trong đó, 97,7% doanh nghiệp cho biết là do giá nguyên vật liệu đầu vào tăng cao, 74,1% khẳng định do chi phí vận chuyển và 73,7% phàn nàn về giá bao bì đóng gói bị đội lên. Đặc biệt, 22,7% doanh nghiệp khẳng định là do ảnh hưởng từ tình hình Trung Đông.Trong bối cảnh đó, hầu hết các doanh nghiệp cung cấp năng lượng và nhiên liệu lớn của Nhật Bản cũng ra thông báo cho biết sẽ tăng giá điện và khí đốt từ 1/6. Trong đó, mức tăng giá điện cao nhất lần lượt thuộc về Công ty Điện lực Okinawa – cực Nam và Điện lực Hokkaido – cực Bắc Nhật Bản, còn mức tăng giá khí đốt cao nhất thuộc về Tokyo và Osaka. Đây được coi là “cú đánh bồi” làm cho sinh hoạt của nhiều gia đình Nhật Bản vốn đang gặp khó khăn, sẽ trở nên khó khăn hơn./.Tuấn Nhật/VOV Nhật bảnBắt đầu từ 1-6, sẽ có tới 1.078 mặt hàng lên giá tại Nhật Bản (ảnh VOV Tokyo)

A introduction to the state of the world in May 1945, as part of a re-run of Summer of Trinity. FDR is dead. Truman is President, only three months after he became vice-president. The Battle of Okinawa is ongoing - it had started on April 1st. USS Indianapolis is in San Francisco for repairs from a kamikaze attack in the waters around Okinawa, just before the invasion began. The USSR has just ended its non-agression pact with the Empire of Japan. Mussoline is dead, killed on April 28 Hitler is dead by suicide on April 30. Nazi Germany is defeated on May 8. The long-term coalition government in the UK ends with the victory over Germany. Churchill has requested that elections be held, around the beginning of July. In Los Alamos, the Manhattan Project team awaits deliveries of uranium and plutonium to use in their Little Boy and Fat Man designs.  And although nobody realizes it for certain, the war is nearly over.

Bienvenue dans ce Mangacast Mini Omake n°214. Aujourd'hui, on vous parle d'un titre des éditions Le Lézard Noir : Okinawa !

In this episode of Key Battles of American History, James speaks with Jenny Chan, director of Pacific Atrocities Education, about the often-overlooked human dimension of the Pacific War. We explore how events like the Nanjing Massacre, the Bataan Death March, and atrocities in the Philippines and Okinawa complicate traditional narratives of American military victory by highlighting their humanitarian consequences. We discuss the challenges of combating denialism and how her organization uses education and digital archives to preserve these histories. Finally, Chan makes the case that the most urgent “battle” today is educational: ensuring these stories are remembered and understood in a way that informs present-day global tensions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's go to the tourist center!"Ja: 「いや、あとちょっとだけ見ていたいんだ」と悠介は躊躇しましたが、彼も自分の状態の深刻さを感じ始めていました。En: "No, I just want to look a bit longer," Yusuke hesitated, but he also began to realize the severity of his condition.Ja: 遙の説得で、二人は急いで近くの観光センターへ向かいました。En: With Haruka's persuasion, they hurried to the nearby tourist center.Ja: センターの職員はすぐに医療の手配をしてくれました。En: The center's staff promptly arranged medical assistance.Ja: 医師の診断では、悠介はこの季節に咲く珍しい植物にアレルギー反応を起こしたとのことでした。En: The doctor's diagnosis revealed that Yusuke had an allergic reaction to a rare plant blooming this season.Ja: 悠介は少し落ち着いた顔で遙に感謝しました。En: With a slightly calmer face, Yusuke thanked Haruka.Ja: 「ありがとう、遙。もし君がいなかったら、どうなっていたことか。」En: "Thank you, Haruka. I don't know what would have happened without you."Ja: 遙は微笑んで、「一緒に安全に楽しむ方が大事だからね。」と答えました。En: Haruka smiled and replied, "It's more important to enjoy safely together."Ja: 二人は当初の計画を見直し、より安全に楽しく旅を続けることにしました。En: The two of them revised their initial plans to continue their journey safely and enjoyably.Ja: 悠介は今回の経験から学び、健康を大切にすることの大切さを痛感しました。En: Yusuke learned from this experience, appreciating the importance of health.Ja: そして、遙の助けで、無事に沖縄の美しい春を満喫することができました。En: Thanks to Haruka's help, he was able to enjoy the beautiful spring in Okinawa safely.Ja: 遺跡の足元には、彼の知らなかった大切な教訓がいっぱい落ちていました。En: Beneath the ruins lay valuable lessons he hadn't known before.Ja: 彼は、遺跡の石以上に固く決意しました。「健康第一、それが旅の達人になる秘訣だな。」En: More resolutely than the stones of the ruins, he vowed, "Health comes first; that's the key to becoming a master traveler."

In this very special episode of Naked Beauty, I had the privilege of talking to my grandfather, Calvin George Kemp, about his being 102 years old. He shared his experiences growing up in the segregated Vine City in Atlanta, Georgia. He explained how his father and other elders sheltered local children from the harsh realities of racism, and raised him in a community of Black people where he felt comfortable and safe. Things changed after he was drafted into the United States military, and he faced encounters no one should have. My grandfather, a brilliant and accomplished man, talked about rising in the ranks and fighting for the right to apply his skills and brilliance in Okinawa, Guam, and a host of other countries.We talked about his memories of historic moments in American history that most people would only learn about in history books. My grandfather was open about the emotional toll of his experiences, including the joy of meeting my grandmother, who inspired him to step up his style. This conversation was a lovely reminder that “acting one's age” is a choice, and that you can have a full and interesting life, so long as you commit to it. This conversation was intimate and revealing, and I'm excited to share his wisdom on how he's managed to live a life filled with adventure and love for over a century.Tune in as we discuss:(0:10) Life at 103 Years Old (1:20) What His 20's Were Like(1:50) 1940s Pop Culture(3:30) Growing Up In Segregated Atlanta(5:55) His Being Drafted Into The Military(9:40) Encountering Mounting Segregation In The Military(17:08) Initially Feeling Embittered By Racist Experiences(21:44) Memories of Historic Black Events(22:35) Voting For President Barack Obama (26:40) Meeting His Wife of 45 Years(27:30) Tips For Having A Long And Happy Marriage(32:50) Having an Immaculate Personal Style(37:20) What A Beautiful Life Means To HimRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Thanks for all the love and support.

In this video, I break down the exact biological mechanisms keeping men in Okinawa, Japan, physically dominant and mentally sharp past 100. You don't need million-dollar lab work or intense weight training to reverse your biological age. Instead, these centenarians leverage five specific lifestyle protocols to naturally upgrade their biology. I explain the hard science behind how eating to 80% full shuts down the constant growth signaling that accelerates cellular aging. We'll also cover why the modern concept of retirement physically destroys your brain function within 2-3 years, and how specific social structures actually drop inflammatory chemicals in your body by up to 30%.Thank you to our sponsors!TRU KAVA | Head to trukava.com and use code DAVE10 for 10% off.Essentia | Go to https://myessentia.com/dave and use code DAVE for $100 off The Dave Asprey Upgrade.iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVETimestamps:00:00 – Intro00:47 – Okinawa's Origins01:28 – Hara Hachibu (80% Full)02:36 – Ikigai (Purpose)03:57 – Never Retire05:19 – Social Bonds (Moai)07:13 – Stress Resilience08:54 – The 5 HabitsConnect with Dave Asprey!Website: https://daveasprey.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/X: https://x.com/daveaspreyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/daveaspreybprThe Human Upgrade Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/TheHumanUpgradePodcast/ https://m.facebook.com/Thehumanupgrade/Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/DAVE15Dave Asprey's BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com/Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/Dave's favorite supplements: https://www.shopsuppgradelabs.com/discount/DAVE15Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com40 Years of Zen: https://40yearsofzen.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 1996, Sarah DeJonghe was a 20-year-old Navy Seabee stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Two guys in uniform approached her on base and invited her to church. She said no. They came back anyway. Four months later, Sarah was out of the Navy and on her way to a Bible seminary in Washington State. She didn't see it coming. Neither did the dozens of other military members who found themselves drawn into the New Testament Christian Churches of America, a church that has spent decades planting itself outside US military bases around the world, marketing itself as a home away from home for single, lonely soldiers. Former members say it's a cult. *** Listen to PRETEND now: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chain-of-command-part-1/id1245307962 Learn more about your ad choices.

PREVIEW for Later Today: Peter Mauch provides a biographical look at Hideki Tojo, detailing how cronyism in the Imperial Japanese Army fueled his ambitions. Tojo's direct style earned him the nickname "the razor" as he rose to power.1940 OKINAWA

En enero de 1945 los aliados intuían que la guerra entraba en su recta final, aunque nadie acertaba a fijar la fecha del desenlace. El teatro europeo de operaciones parecía más cerca del final que el del Pacífico. Alemania estaba cercada por el este, el oeste y el sur, mientras que el archipiélago japonés todavía resistía. Aún no se habían librado las batallas de Iwo Jima y Okinawa, por lo que el alto mando estadounidense calculaba que aquello no terminaría hasta mediado el año 1946 a un coste muy elevado en vidas. Lo que sí dominaban los aliados sin discusión era el aire, y de ese dominio surgiría la mayor campaña de bombardeo estratégico de la historia. En el Reino Unido Arthur Harris, al frente del Bomber Command, era partidario del bombardeo de área nocturno, concebido expresamente para incendiar ciudades enteras y romper así la moral de los civiles. Los estadounidense preferían el bombardeo de precisión diurno sobre objetivos industriales bien elegidos con anterioridad. Disponían de ciertos avances como la mira Norden y contaban con buenos cazas de escolta como los Mustang que protegían a los bombarderos. En la Conferencia de Yalta celebrada en febrero Roosevelt y Churchill decidieron desatar una campaña de bombardeos que aliviase presión a los soviéticos en el frente del este impidiendo que el ejército alemán pudiese desplazar tropas y pertrechos hasta allí. Ese mismo mes atacaron con furia Berlín el día 3 y Dresde entre los días 13 y 14 con tres oleadas combinadas que desataron una tormenta de fuego que en su centro superó los 1.500 grados. Unas 25.000 personas murieron en el bombardeo, pero no sería el único. Le siguieron otras ciudades como Pforzheim, Wurzburgo y Magdeburgo que fueron destruidas, incluso en mayor medida que Dresde. Pero lo que marcó la diferencia no fue tanto la destrucción de las ciudades como los ataques sobre la infraestructura ferroviaria, algo que terminó paralizando por completo el Reich. En el Pacífico el cambio vino de la mano de un joven general, Curtis LeMay, que en enero se puso al mando de los B-29 destacados en las islas Marianas. Los fuertes vientos en altura hacían muy difícil el bombardero de precisión sobre Japón. LeMay ordenó volar de noche, a baja altura, sin armamento defensivo a bordo de los aviones y con bodegas repletas de bombas incendiarias M-69. La noche del 9 al 10 de marzo la Operación Meetinghouse incendió 41 kilómetros cuadrados de la ciudad de Tokio y mató entre 80.000 y 125.000 personas en lo que fue el episodio bélico más mortífero no de la guerra, sino de toda la historia. Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama y Kawasaki sufrieron idéntico destino, y luego decenas de ciudades medianas. Pero, pese a la devastación, Japón no se rendía. En Washington se plantearon invadir las islas principales con una gran operación anfibia, pero estimaban que el coste sería altísimo, de hasta un millón de bajas. Fue entonces cuando recurrieron a la bomba atómica que habían desarrollado con el Proyecto Manhattan. El 6 de agosto cayó la primera en Hiroshima, tres días más tarde cayó otra sobre Nagasaki. Entre medias los soviéticos entraron en Manchuria. El día 15 el emperador Hirohito anunció la rendición incondicional. Esta tormenta de fuego plantea preguntas incómodas. Los bombardeos contribuyeron a la victoria si, pero las víctimas civiles superaron las 650.000 en ambos teatros. Harris y LeMay fueron condecorados, y los tribunales de Núremberg y Tokio prefirieron no abrir ese melón. Sucesivos acuerdos sobre el alcance de este tipo de bombardeo vinieron después, pero el debate sigue abierto.

With the Old Breed is widely considered one of the greatest war memoirs ever written. Penned by Eugene Sledge, a Marine who fought with the 1st Division — the old breed — in the Pacific campaigns of Peleliu and Okinawa, the book is unflinching, deeply human, and so vividly written that you can practically feel the heat, mud, exhaustion, and terror coming off the page.But Sledge wasn't a professional writer. He was a biology professor who started jotting notes on scraps of paper tucked inside the New Testament he carried in his breast pocket. He wrote the book decades later, partly to process his own trauma, partly to leave a record for his sons.One of those sons is my guest today. Henry Sledge has spent years carrying his father's legacy forward, and he's written his own book — The Old Breed: The Complete Story Revealed — that pairs his father's combat experience with previously unpublished material and his own perspective as Eugene's son. Today on the show, Henry and I talk about why his dad wrote With the Old Breed, what made fighting in the Pacific uniquely hellish, and how Eugene managed to come home and live a full, honorable life despite carrying the war with him for the rest of his days.Resources Related to the PodcastChina Marine: An Infantryman's Life After World War II by E.B.

At 104 years old, WWII Army veteran James Wheeler is one of the last surviving American tankers to witness firsthand the brutal Battle of Okinawa. A member of Company C, 193rd Tank Battalion, Wheeler fought in one of the most punishing armored campaigns of the Pacific War, where American Sherman tanks were sent headlong into the deadly defenses of the Japanese Shuri Line. In April 1945, the 193rd Tank Battalion took part in the disastrous assault on Kakazu Ridge and Kakazu Village—what historians later called the “Death Ride of the Shermans.” Trapped without infantry support, Wheeler's battalion drove into a maze of mines, hidden anti-tank guns, artillery fire, and suicide attacks. In a single day, the battalion lost 22 tanks, the greatest single combat loss of American tanks in the Pacific Theater. Join us for a rare and extraordinary conversation with James Wheeler as he reflects on survival, combat inside a Sherman tank, and the savage realities of Okinawa, one of the bloodiest battles of World War II. Wheeler's memories offer not just a window into armored warfare in the Pacific, but a living connection to a rapidly vanishing generation. #WWII #WorldWarII #Okinawa #BattleOfOkinawa #TankBattalion #ShermanTank #USArmy #PacificWar #GreatestGeneration #MilitaryHistory #WW2Veteran #TankCrew #Okinawa1945 #Veterans #VeteransBreakfastClub

¿Fue Gichin Funakoshi realmente el arquitecto del Shotokan que practicamos hoy? La historia oficial nos dice que sí, pero la biomecánica cuenta una versión muy distinta.En este análisis de autoridad, exploramos cómo el Shotokan moderno es, en realidad, una revolución liderada por Yoshitaka (Gigo) Funakoshi. Mientras Gichin "japonizaba" el arte para su aceptación política —cambiando el kanji de "Mano de China" a "Mano Vacía"—, su hijo transformaba radicalmente la forma de combatir.Lo que aprenderás en este video:La Japonización Cultural: Por qué Gichin cambió nombres como Pinan a Heian para facilitar la adopción universitaria.El Salto del Kyu/Dan: Cómo el sistema de grados y el Karate-gi fueron herramientas estratégicas para la instrucción masiva.La Revolución Biomecánica: Por qué Yoshitaka introdujo el Zenkutsu-dachi bajo y largo, abandonando la movilidad natural okinawense para generar potencia lineal devastadora.El Arsenal de Patadas: El origen de la Mawashi Geri y la Yoko Geri, técnicas casi inexistentes en el karate original de Okinawa.Del Ju-jutsu al Kime: La invención del concepto de foco y explosión total.Capítulos:00:00 - Intro00:25 - ¿Qué Karate introdujo Funakoshi en Japón?05:41 - ¿El Karate Do es Okinawense?07:05 - Era Funakoshi considerado un gran exponente en Okinawa?09:06 - La función del Karate-gi11:30 - ¿Porqué Funakoshi le cambió el nombre a los katas?13:55 - El Karate como un DO y el Kata como elemento central.17:35 - Las contradicciones en el mensaje de Funakoshi.19:10 - Yoshitaka (Gigo) Funakoshi y su visión del Karate.27:12 - ¿Fue Yoshitaka Funakoshi el verdadero creador del Shotokan?30:19 - ¿Puede el Karate ser Arte Marcial, Deporte y Camino de vida a la misma vez?

Chances are, you've been to one of Gina Mariko Rosales' events, even if you weren't aware. In this episode, which kicks off our Asian-American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month programming, meet Gina. Born in Daly City, she's lived most of her life on the Peninsula and in San Francisco. But let's talk about how she got to where she is today. Gina was born at Seton hospital in Daly City and her parents raised her in Pacifica. In her words, Gina "grew up with a bunch of skaters and surfers." Sounds fun. But she was one of only a few Filipinas in her hometown. She was also shaped from an early age by her time in Catholic school, which she went to beginning with her preschool days. She also a performer, dancing specifically, but we'll get to that. Gina is part of the first generation in her family to be born in the US. Her parents, Armando and Lillian, both came to this country from the Philippines for college in Ohio, where they met. Lillian's family moved around the Philippines because her dad was an engineer. Gina's dad is half-Filipino and half-Japanese—his Japanese lineage is from Okinawa. Lillian came to The States to pursue international law. But life had other plans. She ended up getting married and having kids, and instead did consulting work. In starting to talk more about her dad, Gina goes on a tangent about how, in 2025, she was able to visit both her mom's homeland in the Philippines and her dad's in Okinawa. Gina's mom was the first in her family to come to the US. Then one of Gina's aunts came. Then slowly, the family starting working on getting more and more members to relocate. Eventually, her grandparents and all her mom's siblings arrived in The Bay. Suddenly, Gina had hella cousins around. Her mom's family has done quite a job tracing their own lineage. Gina says they've been able to trace the line back six or seven generations. And many living members of that clan get together every couple of years for massive family reunions. Think 250–300 folks. I love that. Though she's not 100-percent certain, Gina believes that it was jobs that brought her parents the The Bay after they met at college in Ohio. Lillian worked at Levi's and Armando at Charles Schwab. They had their first child, Gina's older brother, out here. That was the early Eighties. Around mid-decade, Gina was born. Her early memories are of her time in Catholic preschool. Her school was pre-K through eighth grade, so Gina says that once you're labeled by your peers, it sticks. And those students are with you for a minute. Ninth grade provided a chance for Gina to get out of that situation. She "busted out" and attended Sacred Heart here in The City. She remembers being pretty little and visiting her mom at Levi's in San Francisco. She climbed on and ran around the now-defunct Vaillancourt Fountain. They'd go to Fisherman's Wharf. And they'd visit her grandfather's grave at the San Francisco National Cemetery in the Presidio, followed by trips to Japantown for sushi. We sidetrack here after Gina talks about how St. Mary's was their church and I mention that it's the "washing machine" and "city titty" church. Gina wasn't familiar with either term and I'll characterize her reaction as, simply, mind blown. Because her school, Sacred Heart, was nearby, Gina describes the scarce parking available for students and a lottery system they all had to operate under. We go on another sidetrack here to talk about ways to get around DPT's trickery—chalk marks and all that. At her school, Gina was in the choir and she was a member of the step team. She'd often stay around after a day of school to participate in both groups. She and her friends would frequent 1000 Van Ness movie theater and Venture Frogs, where they'd drink boba and eat popcorn chicken. I remember both spots from my early days in The City, around the year 2000. Gina says starting at Sacred Heart after doing K–8th in Pacifica was refreshing. She made friends with people who looked like her, finally. She was part of an Asian girl crew, in fact. Most of those girls were also on the step team and so much bonding was happening. So was "parking lot pimpin'," whether it was in San Francisco or Daly City, after school or on the weekends. She talks about the prevalence of unhoused folks around her school. Sacred Heart would have outreach days where students would make sandwiches to take to those people. Gina looks back fondly on that time. She and her friends would also hang out in Japantown, taking the bus up Geary or just walking the few blocks down. They also went to hella under-18 parties that had names and themes. There were rave rooms and hip-hop rooms. Gina calls them "the early party days." These were the days before "face the DJ" parties. For college, Gina went across The Bay to UC Berkeley. That meant moving out of her house in Pacifica for the first time. She lived in a dorm her first year, then moved into a co-op house and eventually into an apartment with friends. Philosophy and education were Gina's majors. She intended to graduate and become an English teacher. We go on another sidetrack about studying philosophy (something we have in common) before Gina explains how grad school ended up not working out for her. And we end Part 1 with Gina's story of graduating college in 2008 when the Great Recession hit. Her dreams were dashed and she moved back to Pacifica to live with her parents. She applied for countless jobs and ended up getting into AmeriCorps VISTA, a branch of the larger organization that focuses on alleviating poverty. The program wants its members to experience a level of poverty themselves. It paid just enough for Gina to move to San Francisco. Check back Thursday to hear Part 2 and the rest of Gina's story. We recorded this episode in the Brave New Spaces at Make It Mariko in South of Market/SOMA Pilipinas Cultural Heritage District in March 2026. Photography Mason J.
