On fait le point sur le drame qui s'est passé dans le parc Torres del Paine au Chili. We're taking stock of the tragedy that happened in Torres del Paine Park in Chile.D'abord, le bilan humain et il est vraiment lourd : cinq touristes étrangers sont décédés, deux Mexicains, deux Allemands et une Britannique. First, the human toll, and it's truly heavy: five foreign tourists died, two Mexicans, two Germans, and one British woman.Mais qu'est-ce qui a bien pu se passer ?

Members of the foreign policy world have talked a lot about great-power competition over the last decade. But no one can entirely agree on the contours of today's competition. Whether it's a battle of autocracies and democracies. Or revisionists and status quo powers. Or whether, as the realists would argue, it's just states doing what states do.  S. C. M. Paine, a longtime professor of strategy and policy at the U.S. Naval War College, sees something else going on. To her, the great-power competition we talk about today is just the latest example of the centuries-old tension between maritime and continental powers. For maritime powers—such as, for most of its history, the United States—money and trade serve as the basis of influence. And that leads them to promote rules and order. Continental powers—such as Russia most clearly and China in most but not all ways—focus their security objectives on territory, which they seek to defend, and control, and expand. From this divide rises two very different visions of global order. It also, Paine argues in a new essay in Foreign Affairs, explains the basic drivers of today's great-power competition. But as she looks at more recent developments, Paine lays out an additional concern. The United States has long been an exemplar of maritime power. But it is starting to behave in ways that suggest a shift away from the maritime strategies that have served it so well. Paine's focus on the contest between land and sea makes clear the stakes of that shift.

John McGowan joins me to discuss Liberty as Independence, Quentin Skinner's new book about the way that our ideals of liberty were formed in in 17th and 18th century debates. The book covers legendary figures, such as Hobbes, Milton, Locke, Swift, Paine, and Jefferson, as well as many lesser-known figures that they engaged with.For more from John McGowan, here's the link to his blog: https://jzmcgowan.com/public-intelligence-blog/ Finally, I'd like to apologize to Badger from The Wind in the Willows. In this episode, I repeatedly refer to him as "Mr. Badger." He is simply, as befits his status, Badger or The Badger. I regret the error.

What if the secret to a healthy, lasting relationship isn't finding “the right person”… but designing the relationship that's actually right for you? We're here with Ellecia Paine who experienced first-hand what it's like to be in a relationship that looks good on the outside but feels empty on the inside, – and how she used this experience to completely redefine what she was looking for in a partnership. We discuss how to break out of the inherited “shoulds” when searching for love, why it's not "too much" to ask for more when it comes to your relationship, and how to create a structure that's built for who you are, whether you've found your person or not.TW: We talk about an abusive relationship at the start of the interview.Follow Ellecia @elleciapaine and check out her work at: https://www.elleciapaine.com/Take the Dating Archetypes quiz now: https://howtobedateable.com/HOW TO BE DATEABLE IS OUT!

Con estos dos breves mensajes se termina este primer volumen de los mensajes de Padgett. Esta vez son de Thomas Paine y de la hermana de Leslie Stone. La lectura de estos mensajes dura en el audio hasta el minuto 8:03, y luego hay comentarios. En los comentarios, aparte de repasar algunos pocos puntos de los mensajes, como siempre hacemos, hemos visto algo sobre Paine (su importancia histórica como "librepensador" activista), y algo sobre el "deísmo" ─que él profesaba─. Los mensajes que aquí leemos y comentamos fueron dados por varios desencarnados y por espíritus ya celestiales (como Jesús de Nazaret), durante unos años a partir de 1914. Están ordenados temáticamente, tal como los muestra la versión que ofrecen del pdf en "Divine Truth". ─ La página con el texto y el enlace al audio, etc., es:: https://www.unplandivino.net/padgett-1-12-13 ─ El título de este audio es: " 1/12:13-14) 12 (e) Mensajes adicionales (Thomas Paine y K. Stone escriben) | El verdadero evangelio " ___ Los demás materiales de este estilo se pueden ver enlazados y ordenados en la página dedicada (este en concreto está en el Apartado B de los dedicados a Padgett): https://www.unplandivino.net/padgett/ ________ * https://www.divinetruth.com/sites/main/en/index.htm#download-otherdt.htm

Thomas Paine wasn't what you'd call a religious man, but he couldn't escape the language of faith. In The American Crisis, he wrote of Providence—the hand of God guiding history—and he believed that God favored the cause of liberty over tyranny.He saw divine justice not in miracles, but in moments: a sudden fog that saved the army, a storm that protected Washington's retreat. He called these signs of Providence, the quiet proof that Heaven stands with those who fight for what's right.As a Chassid, I see it a little differently, but I understand him. Paine's Providence is what we call hashgacha pratis, divine supervision—the belief that nothing happens by accident. Every hardship, every victory, every candle burning in the dark has purpose.Faith in divine justice isn't passive. It's trust that God works through those who act with courage and righteousness. Paine believed it, and so do I.

In this lecture, military historian Sarah Paine explains how Russia—and specifically Stalin—completely derailed China's rise, slowing them down for over a century.This lecture was particularly interesting to me because, in my opinion, the Chinese Civil War is 1 of the top 3 most important events of the 20th century. And to understand why it transpired as it did, you need to understand Stalin's role in the whole thing.Watch on YouTube; read the transcript.SponsorsMercury helps you run your business better.

In the darkest winter of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine wrote words that stirred a struggling people back to life. His essays, known as The American Crisis, called for unity and courage at a time when the cause of independence seemed doomed. Paine urged Americans to set aside their differences, stand together, and refuse to be ruled by fear.He warned that division and apathy would only prolong their suffering, and that freedom could only be won through shared sacrifice and steadfast resolve. His words were not lofty speeches, but direct, heartfelt appeals to farmers, soldiers, and citizens alike.In this episode, we explore how Paine's call to unity helped transform a desperate army into a nation bound by purpose. His reminder still rings true today: liberty survives only when people have the courage to stand together, even when the world around them seems ready to fall apart.

In early 1776, Thomas Paine set fire to the old world with his pen. His pamphlet Common Sense didn't just argue for American independence; it attacked the very idea of monarchy itself. Paine called King George III “the royal brute of Britain” and dismissed hereditary rule as absurd, insisting that no man was born to govern another.He wrote in plain, direct language that ordinary people could understand, mocking the pomp and privilege of kings while reminding readers that real power belongs to the people. His words stripped away the illusion of divine right and exposed monarchy as a system built on fear and habit.In this episode, we explore Paine's fearless assault on tyranny, his scathing humor, and how his ideas helped ordinary colonists see themselves as citizens instead of subjects. Paine didn't just challenge a king; he challenged an entire way of thinking—and changed the world forever.

In the winter of 1776, when the American Revolution seemed on the verge of collapse, a voice rose from the darkness. Thomas Paine, armed only with ink and conviction, wrote words that would reignite a nation's spirit: “These are the times that try men's souls.” His pamphlet, The American Crisis, was not written for comfort. It was written to remind a weary people that freedom demands perseverance.Paine believed liberty was not a gift to be enjoyed, but a cause to be earned. His words gave Washington's soldiers the courage to march through snow and hunger toward an uncertain victory.In this episode, we explore how Paine's message of endurance still speaks to us today. The idea that freedom requires sacrifice remains as true now as it was on that freezing night in 1776. Paine's challenge endures: liberty survives only through the strength of those who refuse to quit.

In December of 1776, when the Revolutionary cause seemed all but broken, a pamphlet appeared that lit a spark across the colonies. Thomas Paine's The American Crisis began with a line that still echoes through history: “These are the times that try men's souls.”It was not a statement of despair, but of defiance. Paine challenged Americans to find courage in the midst of defeat, to prove their loyalty not in comfort but in hardship. His words were read aloud to Washington's troops before the daring attack at Trenton, and for many, they rekindled the will to fight.In this episode, we explore the power behind Paine's words, the desperate winter that inspired them, and the moral fire they ignited in a weary army. Paine reminded a struggling nation that true freedom demands endurance, and that the soul of liberty is tested most fiercely when hope runs thin.

Die wichtigste Zeugin des Warren-Reports, Ruth Paine, ist Ende August mit 92 Jahren gestorben. Sie hatte sich auf Bitten von CIA-Agent George de Mohrenschildt um die Oswalds gekümmert, Oswald den Job im Schulbuchlager nebst Mitfahrgelegenheit besorgt und in den Wochen nach dem Attentat den Behörden dringend benötigte Beweise nachträglich geliefert - obwohl der Haushalt bereits durchsucht worden war. Das Ehepaar Paine pflegte allerdings schon lange vorher erstaunliche Beziehungen sowohl zum FBI als vor allem auch zur CIA.

“Founding Fathers” like Washington or Jefferson have gigantic monuments in Washington, statues galore and palatial house-museums. But what about…Thomas Paine? The author of “Common Sense,” the pamphlet that brought the idea of American independence to the masses, was considered a hero after the American Revolution. But then he experienced a remarkable fall from grace, which ended in his burial in a pauper's grave and…well, some graverobbers disinterring his body and spreading his bones all over the world.Feelin' the Paine? Check out the biography “Thomas Paine: Enlightenment, Revolution, and the Birth of Modern Nations” by Craig Nelson, this Library of Congress article on Paine's bones, and a discussion of Paine's philosophy on this episode of the BBC's In Our Time.  Or see his New Rochelle farmhouse (and…former grave) for yourself: https://www.thomaspainecottage.org/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Join Director of Photography Emma Paine (Colin from Accounts, NCIS - Sydney, Watching You, Four Years Later) and Queenie van de Zandt as they explore the actor and DOP relationship. As an actor it is important to understand every role on a production and how your work intersects with all involved. DOP's are an integral part of the storytelling process as they are responsible for creating the look of the film. Their primary duties include developing a film's visual style, determining lighting and composition and planning camera angles. The conversation will also cover Emma's extensive work locally, how the DOP's process impacts actors' and what we see on screen. This conversation may be particularly useful for actors with a theatre background who are not as familiar with the complexities of screen acting. Audience members will leave with a better understanding of how to work effectively with a DOP on their next job.

Michelle Paine came from Presbyterian roots, and went on to pursue a degree in the visual arts at Gordon College. While studying abroad, she immersed herself in the history of Christian art, and began to meet Catholics, who helped her to better understand not only her identity as an artist, but also as a Christian. Michelle shares with JonMarc Grodi how her work as a painter has helped her grow in her relationship with Christ, and how the intersection of truth, beauty, and goodness helps draw the heart to God.

Zak “RedPill78” Paine and Brad Zerbo grapple with the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, unpacking the footage, timing, and strange signals that suggest more than a lone shooter. They examine the eerie foreknowledge shown in social media posts, the suspicious flight of a private jet near the scene, and evidence pointing to a professional hit. The hosts slam the corporate media's grotesque reaction, like cheers in the TMZ newsroom and MSNBC blaming Kirk for his own death, while exposing how political violence is being normalized by the left. From potential ties to Israel and intelligence agencies to questions about security failures and media manipulation, this episode dissects the event as both a national tragedy and a turning point. Emotional, raw, and relentless, Paine and Zerbo call for resilience, truth-telling, and a refusal to let America's future be written in blood.

When Blackbeard made his last stand, and the author mentions that he wouldn't die, he's not kidding. When Maynard examined Blackbeard's body, he discovered that he was shot in five different places and had been stabbed or otherwise cut twenty times. Just a little gruesome detail for you.   Also, and so I guess this is the second thing, the captains of the ships in this story really existed. Stede Bonnet was a pirate known for his high code of conduct. Lieutenant Maynard was the one who swore to take down Blackbeard, and had a final duel with him. Ned Rackham is likely an embellishment of Calico Jack Rackham, who may have sailed with Blackbeard, but certainly knew him.

Thomas Paine's brutal demolition of a scam more dangerous than kings is one almost no one ever learns about. He showed how this scheme corrupts society, destroys trust, and unleashes evils that never end. On this episode of Path to Liberty, we dig into Paine's forgotten warning about the oldest scam in America - and his verdict that still hits home today. The post The Dollar isn't Money. It's Fraud. Thomas Paine's Brutal Takedown first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

In this lecture, military historian Sarah Paine explains how Britain used sea control, peripheral campaigns, and alliances to defeat Nazi Germany during WWII. She then applies this framework to today, arguing that Russia and China are similarly constrained by their geography, making them vulnerable in any conflict with maritime powers (like the U.S. and its allies).Watch on YouTube; listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Sponsors* Labelbox partners with researchers to scope, generate, and deliver the exact data frontier models need, no matter the domain.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!What happens when one of the world's most recognizable retail brands faces serious allegations of systemic age discrimination? Our latest episode pulls back the curtain on the recently settled lawsuit between Brandon Payne and IKEA, providing unprecedented insight into both sides of this complex legal battle.We meticulously dissect three key legal documents: the detailed complaint from 48-year-old long-term employee Brandon Payne, IKEA's comprehensive response, and the surprising settlement filing from August 6, 2025. Payne's allegations paint a troubling picture of a corporate culture that allegedly preferred younger workers, with claims of explicit directives to hire managers under 35 and a reorganization initiative that resulted in his demotion and a staggering $10/hour pay cut.The most compelling aspects of this case lie in the patterns Payne documented – a series of promotion rejections where significantly younger, allegedly less qualified candidates were selected instead. We explore IKEA's firm denials and multi-pronged legal defense strategy, which maintained all decisions were based on legitimate business factors rather than age. What makes this case particularly significant is its connection to at least five other similar lawsuits against IKEA, suggesting potentially broader issues within the organization.Whether you're a business leader, HR professional, or simply interested in workplace equity, this episode offers crucial lessons about the delicate balance between organizational change and fair employment practices. The recent global settlement of these cases raises profound questions about the hidden costs of discrimination allegations beyond just legal expenses. How do such claims affect employee morale, public perception, and institutional trust? Listen now to understand the full story behind these headlines and what they reveal about age dynamics in today's workplace.

In this chilling installment of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak "RedPill78" Paine dig into one of the most disturbing and enduring unsolved cases of the 1980s: the deaths of Kevin Ives and Don Henry, also known as the “Boys on the Tracks.” What begins as a mysterious tragedy in rural Arkansas quickly unravels into a sinister web of drug trafficking, police corruption, compromised officials, and CIA operations tied to Mena Airport. Herold and Paine expose the inconsistencies in the official narrative, the horrifying autopsy revelations, and the string of witnesses and investigators who died under suspicious circumstances. They highlight the role of Kevin's mother, Linda Ives, in keeping the case alive and forcing public attention on a story that implicates powerful political interests. This is part one of a multi-episode deep dive into a case that's far more than a local scandal, it's a glimpse into a nationwide cover-up with global implications.

Ralph Delahaye Paine was a journalist and novelist who flourished in the early 1900s. He attracted the attention of William Randolph Hearst when he covered the Cuban War for Independence from 1895-98. He continued as a war correspondent until 1903, when he retired from journalism and focused on writing history and fiction.   Blackbeard: Buccaneer tells a tale of Edward Teach, the famous pirate known as Blackbeard. Paine uses fictional characters to weave the tale together, but the details around Blackbeard himself are pretty reliable.     And now, Blackbeard: Buccaneer, Part 1 of 8, by Ralph D.

After my last lecture series with Sarah Paine ended, I still had so many questions. I knew we'd only scratched the surface of Sarah's scholarship, so I immediately invited her back for another series: she graciously agreed, and we'll be releasing the results online over the coming weeks and months!This first lecture is focused on the balance of power in East Asia at the turn of the 20th century. Specifically, how did Japan (population 47M) defeat China (400M) and Russia (130M) to become Asia's dominant power?For me, the most interesting thing was that Japan's surprise attack on Port Arthur at the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War (1904) helps us understand why Japan might have thought Pearl Harbor would work.Watch on YouTube; listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Sponsors* Google's Veo 3 helps us visualize the hypothetical scenarios that often come up during our interviews.

Episode 565 - Lee Clark - Matthew Paine Mystery Series - Including the upcoming book Killer ConvergenceLee Clark is the author of the Matthew Paine Mystery series of classic murder mystery novels, including Dead Spots, Prefer Death, MIA, Christmas Punch, Iced, Forbidden Relics, and the upcoming Killer Convergence to be released in the spring of 2025. According to multiple reviews across the book series on goodreads and Amazon, Clark "writes like Agatha Christie," and is reminiscent of Margaret Maron and Louise Penny. A North Carolina native, Clark grew up in Raleigh with family roots in Virginia. An admitted chocoholic and coffeeholic, Lee Clark still resides in North Carolina with spouse, two mostly grown children who are in and out, and a dwindling petting zoo of geriatric dogs and cats.  Lee Clark attended Campbell University, obtained a degree in Journalism from East Carolina University, and then a Master's in Technical Communication from North Carolina State University. Following a twenty year career in the software development industry of corporate America at IBM, Clark turned to writing fiction in 2021 with the release of Dead Spots, the first in the Matthew Paine Mystery series. The Matthew Paine character is a beloved character to the author. Though a fictional character, Matthew was inspired by two very important men in the author's life, brother Sean and son Will. Both will catch glimpses of themselves in the character and identify with some of Matthew's struggles.  https://cypressrivermedia.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Three words that can make any parent's wallet flinch: “Back to school.” But there's a silver lining—especially if your state has a tax-free weekend.For families gearing up for a new school year, those tax holidays can make a real difference. Today, Crystal Paine shares smart, practical ways to get prepared and save money along the way.Crystal Paine is the founder of MoneySavingMom.com and the author of The Money Saving Mom's Budget: Slash Your Spending, Pay Down Your Debt, Streamline Your Life, and Save Thousands a Year. Does Your State Participate?Not every state offers a tax-free weekend, and the rules vary widely from state to state. Crystal recommends checking your state's Department of Revenue or the Federation of Tax Administrators for up-to-date information.Understand what qualifies, as in some states, clothing must be under $100, and online purchases often count—if ordered and paid for within the specified window. Even if you're not shopping for back-to-school items, this can still be a good time to purchase other qualifying necessities.Don't treat the tax-free weekend like a shopping spree. Instead, we suggest that you:Make a list of what your family actually needs.Set a budget—especially if your kids are old enough to be involved (around age 8–10).Know the limits so you don't go over a price cap and lose the exemption.Stack your savings by searching for coupons or shopping through cashback sites like RetailMeNot.Simply search for the site name and ‘coupon code' before making a purchase.What About Online Shopping?A common misconception to keep in mind is that if you order and pay during the holiday window, and the item qualifies, it's usually tax-exempt, even if it ships later. Please ensure it ships to an in-state address.One important caveat to remember is that Amazon may not always participate, and shipping costs may be included in item price caps in some states. Therefore, read the fine print and always check your confirmation receipt to ensure that tax wasn't accidentally charged.Stewardship Over SavingsThe ultimate goal isn't just saving money—it's honoring God. Sometimes we think we're saving when we're really just spending less wastefully. But that's still spending. Ask yourself: Am I buying this because it's a wise investment, or is it just because it's on sale?Make prayerful purchases—asking God for wisdom, guidance, and even provision when looking for specific items. God is faithful to lead us when we invite Him into our financial decisions.Good stewardship is about more than just saving money. It's about aligning our spending with God's purposes.

In this episode, I take you inside my 7-day group trek through Torres del Paine in Patagonia with EcoCamp—over 80 miles of hiking, wild weather, and unforgettable views. While the trek itself was with a group, I traveled to Chile and continued on to Argentina solo. I'm sharing the full story: what I ate, how I trained, what I packed, what I wish I'd done differently, and how I managed to hike while sick. If you're dreaming of Patagonia or wondering what it's like to take on the O Circuit as a solo female traveler, this one's for you.   Hosted by Leanne Vogel.   Coaching and other supports available at: https://shop.healthfulpursuit.com/  Podcast Sponsors, links and offers available at: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/podcast/
