Biến đổi khí hậu sẽ là một vấn đề cấp bách tại Diễn đàn các đảo Thái Bình Dương diễn ra vào tháng tới (30/8 đến 4/9), do Palau đăng cai tổ chức, với lời kêu gọi tất cả các bên tham gia trong khu vực cùng tham gia để không bỏ lỡ các cơ hội tiến bộ. Năm ngoái, Đài Loan nằm trong số các quốc gia không phải thành viên không được mời do áp lực từ Trung Quốc. Chính phủ Palau đã nói với SBS rằng họ dự đoán toàn bộ cộng đồng đảo sẽ bị nhấn chìm do mực nước biển dâng cao vào cuối thế kỷ này, đồng thời kêu gọi Úc đóng góp nhiều hơn vào việc thích ứng với biến đổi khí hậu.
.Climate change will be a pressing issue at next month's Pacific Islands Forum, which is being hosted by Palau, with calls for every regional player to be at the table, so opportunities for progress aren't lost. Last year, Taiwan was among other non-member states not invited due to pressure from China. Palau's government has told SBS, it expects entire island communities to be lost to rising seas by the end of the century, calling on Australia to contribute more to climate adaptation.

Award-winning and bestselling author and maritime historian Eric Jay Dolin joins Big Blend Radio's "Way Back When" history podcast to discuss his compelling new book, "The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail," a gripping work of narrative history featured by The New York Times as one of "The Nonfiction Everyone Will Be Talking About in 2026." Drawing from extensive archival research, sailors' journals, and Indigenous accounts, Dolin recounts the remarkable true story of the American whaleship Mentor, which wrecked on a reef near the Palau Islands in 1832. What followed was an extraordinary saga of survival, leadership, cultural misunderstandings, compassion, violence, and resilience that unfolded over four years and across the Pacific. In this fascinating conversation, Dolin also explores the importance of the American whaling industry, life during the Age of Sail, cross-cultural encounters between American sailors and the people of Palau, and how maritime history offers a deeper understanding of America's growth and its place in the wider world. Along the way, he discusses the challenges of researching forgotten stories, the importance of historical perspective, and why understanding both the triumphs and tragedies of history helps us better understand ourselves today.

What happens when an ordinary New Bedford whaling voyage turns into one of the most extraordinary survival stories in American maritime history? In this episode of The Photo Detective, I talk with bestselling maritime historian Eric Jay Dolin, author of The Wreck of the Mentor. Dolin has written more than seventeen acclaimed books on maritime history, environmental policy, pirates, privateers, hurricanes, and the American whaling industry, including Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America and A Furious Sky.We explore the tragic 1834 wreck of the Mentor, whose crew became stranded for years on the islands of Palau after their ship struck a reef. Erick shares how firsthand survivor accounts, newly digitized archival sources, and years of historical research allowed him to reconstruct this remarkable story of endurance, cultural encounters, and rescue. Along the way, we discuss why these stories matter to genealogists and family historians seeking to understand the lives—and sometimes mysterious disappearances—of their seafaring ancestors.Related Episodes:Episode 266: Military Images Magazine's Ron Coddington shares the stories behind Civil War PhotosEpisode 240: The Hidden Stories of Tattooing: Dr. Matt Lodder on Tattoos in Photography and SocietyLinks:Sign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help preserving your photos?

Andy Burnham (56) is sinds gisteren de nieuwe premier van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Voor hij de deur van 10 Downing Street opende, gaf hij een inkijkje in zijn plannen voor de Britse economie. Samen met VK-correspondent Joost Dobber bespreken we de beloftes van de premier.

El Palau de la Música de València conmemorará en la temporada 2026-2027 sus 40 años de historia con una programación especial que reunirá a algunas de las principales figuras de la música clásica internacional, además de reforzar el protagonismo de la Orquesta de València, que atraviesa, según destacó su presidente, Vicente Llimerá, "uno de los mejores momentos de su historia".En una entrevista en Hora 14 Valencia, Llimerá ha explicado este sábado que la nueva temporada incluirá 52 conciertos de abono (45 del ciclo sinfónico y siete del abono de piano), además de siete conciertos extraordinarios para celebrar el aniversario del auditorio, cuya inauguración tuvo lugar en abril de 1987.
In July 1831, the whaleship Mentor sailed out of New Bedford Harbor with 22 men aboard, hoping to strike it rich hunting sperm whales in the Pacific. They never made it. Caught in a raging storm, the ship smashed into the remote island chain of Palau — and within hours, half the crew was dead.What followed is one of the most harrowing survival stories in American maritime history. In this episode, host Blaine DeSantis sits down with New York Times bestselling author Eric J. Dolin to unravel what happened to the men who lived: hostage negotiations demanding 200 guns, years of forced labor and starvation on a tiny island just one mile long, forced tattooing meant to absorb the castaways into island culture, daring escapes aboard passing ships, and a naval rescue mission ordered by President Andrew Jackson himself.Along the way, Dolin pulls back the curtain on the golden age of American whaling — the stench you could smell before you saw the ship, the teenage "green hands" who'd never been to sea, and why most whalemen came home with almost nothing to show for years of brutal work. He also shares how he pieced together this forgotten story from logbooks, journals, Palauan oral histories, and more than 100 rare illustrations from archives around the world.Only 7 of the 22 men ever made it home. This is their story.
Cleo Paskal exposes Chinese cognitive warfare in the Solomon Islands, where identical pro-Beijing propaganda appeared in separate newspapers. She details China's aggressive pressure on Palau, utilizing economic threats, triad activity, and cyberattacks to force the nation to de-recognize Taiwan before an upcoming regional forum in late August.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-15-261904 PERSIAMichael Bernstam discusses China's "colonial" economic relationship with Russia, demanding natural gas at heavily subsidized domestic rates. Capitalizing on Russian weakness, Beijing insists Russia fund its own pipelines while China signals a shift toward supporting Ukrainian territorial integrity, effectively throwing Putin "under the bus" to pressure the West. (1)Michael Bernstam explores Houthi threats to the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, which could drive oil prices over $100 per barrel by choking global shipping. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes have crippled Russian refining capacity and shipping in the Black Sea, leading to energy rationing, electricity shortages, and potential food crises in Crimea. (2)Bob Zimmerman provides updates on SpaceX's Starship test flight and the FAA's rapid approval process. He details the deployment of version three Starlink satellites, rumors of a massive new Louisiana spaceport, and criticizes a Texaspolitician's "irrational" investigation into Elon Musk's government grants for rural internet access. (3)Bob Zimmerman explains why AI is currently inadequate for counting lunar craters, failing to meet human accuracy standards. He also highlights the discovery of a potential black hole in Omega Centauri, discusses the desolate nature of Mars's Jezero Crater, and notes the mysterious, unexplained "spokes" appearing in Saturn's rings. (4)Steve Yates analyzes the Taiwan People's Party's (TPP) historic visit to mainland China. Originally a pro-identity youth movement, the TPP is now seeking political power through a coalition with the pro-China KMT. This shift complicates Taiwan's political landscape, as the younger demographic overwhelmingly identifies as Taiwanese, not Chinese. (5)Cleo Paskal exposes Chinese cognitive warfare in the Solomon Islands, where identical pro-Beijing propaganda appeared in separate newspapers. She details China's aggressive pressure on Palau, utilizing economic threats, triad activity, and cyberattacks to force the nation to de-recognize Taiwan before an upcoming regional forum in late August. (6)Charles Burton discusses the strained Canada-US relations regarding the Gordie Howe Bridge. Disagreements over ownership and revenue sharing led Donald Trump to claim a "victory" by coercing Canadian concessions. This dispute has fueled hostility in Canada, leading to a boycott of US travel and alcohol imports in Ontario. (7)Charles Burton criticizes the lack of transparency regarding Chinese infiltration in the Canadian government. He argues that Prime Minister Carney's administration prioritizes business interests over national sovereignty, ignoring warnings about espionage and transnational repression while pursuing empty promises of doubled trade from Beijing to counter US tariffs. (8)Evan Ellis reports on the collapse of Cuba's electric grid, marking the third major blackout in nine days. While the island devolves into ruin, the Trump administration weighs military action against potential negotiations with the Castrofamily, as China and Russia provide only minimal, symbolic economic and political support. (9)Evan Ellis details the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela following twin earthquakes. While US Southern Commandprovides tactical aid, the corrupt and inefficient Rodriguez government is unable to respond to massive destruction, including thousands of deaths and ruined infrastructure. The situation highlights the inadequacy of the current Venezuelan regime. (10)Evan Ellis examines political instability in Bolivia involving Evo Morales and the upcoming inauguration of Keiko Fujimori in Peru. He also notes unresolved tensions over the Falkland Islands as Argentina faces Britain in the World Cup, emphasizing Javier Milei's strategic shift toward collaboration with the United States. (11)Evan Ellis analyzes judicial cruelty in Brazil, where Flavio Bolsonaro is barred from visiting his ill father. In El Salvador, President Bukele is seeking an unconstitutional third term. Despite his high approval ratings and security successes, the move raises alarms about the global trend of abandoning democratic constraints. (12)Thaddeus McCotter reflects on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham and the rising global pattern of political violence, including the murder of a UK MP. He also addresses credible Iranian threats to assassinate the US President, suggesting that decapitation strikes against heads of state have become routine. (13)Thaddeus McCotter connects global energy prices to military strategy, noting how Ukrainian drone strikes on Russianrefineries impact domestic affordability. He warns that the Republican party must clarify objectives in Iran and Ukraineto address MAGA base concerns regarding "forever wars" before the upcoming midterm elections. (14)Judy Dempsey discusses the US naval blockade of Iran and European concerns over energy security. She argues that European leaders find Trump's policies unpredictable and emphasizes that the future must be built on transparency, democracy, and accountability to counter the rise of authoritarian models like communist China. (15)Judy Dempsey highlights increasing threats against European politicians, particularly in Germany from the far-right AfD. Despite the current prominence of "strong men," she maintains that authoritarian systems are unsustainable because the human spirit fundamentally requires freedom, which dictatorships cannot provide or permit in the long term.

El director de orquesta y pianista español de renombre mundial Ramón Tebar regresa para su octava temporada al frente de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Cincinnati en el Festival de Verano de la Cincinnati Ópera 2026 para dirigir Carmen, de Georges Bizet —con libreto de Ludovic Halévy y Henri Meilhac—, los días 25, 29 y 31 de julio a las 7:30 p.m., y el 2 de agosto a las 3:00 p.m. en el Music Hall. El maestro Ramón Tebar es considerado uno de los directores de orquesta españoles más destacados de su generación. Lorena Mora-Mowy lo entrevistó en 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015 y 2021, cuando dirigió la Cincinnati Symphony en las producciones operísticas Turandot, Madame Butterfly, Romeo y Julieta de Charles Gounod y Carmen de Georges Bizet, de la Cincinnati Opera. Esta última presentación fue en un parque, adaptada a la pandemia, sin intermedios y al aire libre. Conocimos la historia de un joven de 15 años, director asistente de la orquesta juvenil de su ciudad natal, Valencia, España, con una lista de sueños y metas por alcanzar, pero muy consciente de que la suerte la tenía que construir trabajando. Ese esfuerzo lo ha llevado a ser director principal y artístico de la Ópera de Naples, Florida, y director artístico del Festival Arantzazu en España desde 2014. Anteriormente, fue director artístico y musical de la Orquesta de Valencia, de la Florida Grand Opera en Miami y director invitado principal del Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía de Valencia. El maestro Ramón Tebar está de regreso en Cincinnati, ciudad que aprecia y con la que mantiene una estrecha relación musical y artística. Tuvimos la oportunidad de entrevistarlo nuevamente para conocer su evolución desde el joven pianista y director de orquesta que conocimos en el 2008; cómo su amor por el piano lo llevó a conocer otros instrumentos, a introducirse en la ópera y a aprender repertorios; ahora que es más maduro, habla de lo que ha aprendido después de dirigir tantas óperas con orquestas importantes.

Send us fan responses! “Show me your authority” sounds like a movie line until you hear someone rehearse it like a real court strategy. We jump on a candid prep call ahead of a Friday hearing, where we focus on one goal: staying calm, staying precise, and getting everything onto the record so the court cannot pretend it never happened.We talk through unconventional legal theories and courtroom scripts around subject matter jurisdiction, Article III authority, special appearance language, and the pressure to plead. You'll hear why paperwork is treated like leverage, from building a fee schedule and invoice template to documenting notice by certified mail and tracking. We also dig into the emotional side of it: how you keep your footing when the system feels designed to label you, rush you, or trap you into answering the wrong question.Then the conversation widens into money systems and identity systems: trust accounts, funding questions, insurance as collateral, and the speaker's framing of Social Security as insurance and trust structure. We also touch Real ID worries, foreign ID options like Palau, Estonia e-residency, and why “status” language shows up in legal spaces. This is not legal advice, and some claims are controversial, but it is an honest look at how people try to regain agency through documentation, process, and mindset.If you like episodes that challenge assumptions about courts, contracts, and financial systems, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves to fact-check, and leave a review.

For small and resource-constrained health jurisdictions, data modernization isn't just about adopting new technology, it's about building systems that strengthen people, improve workflows, and create lasting resilience. Tmong Udui, an epidemiologist with the Palau Ministry of Health and Human Services, shares how Palau is leveraging Public Health Infrastructure Grant funding to modernize its health data systems. She discusses the challenges of managing siloed information systems, limited workforce capacity, and growing demands for timely, reliable data in a small island nation. Udui explains how lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated Palau's commitment to modernization, including the implementation of a national electronic health record system. She also explores the importance of stakeholder engagement, tailoring technology solutions to local needs, building institutional knowledge, and balancing ambitious goals with practical realities.This work is supported by funds made available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Center for STLT Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce, through OE22-2203: Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant.

The American whaleship Mentor met disaster in 1832, wrecked on a remote reef in the western Pacific. Stranded and running out of supplies, the eleven surviving crew members endured the harsh realities of shipwreck in an unfamiliar world. Their ordeal deepened when, within days, they encountered the Indigenous people of Palau—who approached the desperate sailors wielding axes, clubs, and spears. In this gripping true story of cultural collision, tribal conflict, and shattered hopes, award-winning historian Eric Jay Dolin masterfully brings to life the Mentor's ill-fated voyage. He chronicles the crew's years of perilous captivity, the tense negotiations for their survival, and the dramatic naval rescue mission that determined their fate.He is the author of "The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail." https://www.ericjaydolin.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show

Hello and welcome to That's So Auburn! I'm Nancy Backus, Mayor of the City of Auburn, and today's episode is about government relations, which, I know, may sound like a very official title. But really, it's about relationships and advocacy, problem-solving, and making sure Auburn's voice is heard in the rooms where decisions are being made. Today I'm joined by Megan Utemei, the City of Auburn's Government Relations Policy Advisor. Megan works closely with me, our City Council, city leadership, regional partners, state legislators, federal offices and community organizations to help advance Auburn's priorities. Megan began at the City just over two months ago and she stepped into a brand new role at our city. And it couldn't have come at a better time, because the work she does matters. Whether we're talking about transportation, public safety, housing, infrastructure, economic development, or funding for major city projects, Megan's role is to help connect Auburn's needs with the people and resources that can help move them forward. Megan brings 10 years of experience working on federal and regional issues. A major part of her career was spent working with U.S. Senator Patty Murray's office in both Washington, D.C. and Seattle, where she helped secure federal funding and support for local elected officials, community-based organizations and stakeholders across King County. She has also worked on immigration issues as a congressional liaison to the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security. Megan earned her Executive Master of Public Administration from the University of Washington, focusing on policy implementation at the federal, state and local levels through leadership. And outside of work, Megan was born and raised on the islands of Guam and Palau, and enjoys karaoke, reading, and spending quality time with her friends and family.
Hello and Welcome to the DX Corner for your weekly Dose of DX. I'm Bill, AJ8B.

In 1832, a New Bedford whaleship called the Mentor struck a reef in the remote Pacific archipelago of Palau. The tiny, 100-foot-long ship began sinking immediately, and the 22 men who made up its crew were thrown into one of the most extraordinary survival ordeals in American maritime history. Ten men vanished the night of the wreck and were never seen again. The survivors found themselves stranded among island peoples with their own complex politics, rival confederations, and fifty years of complicated history with Western ships that the castaways knew nothing about. What followed was a story of captivity, starvation, forced tattooing, a rescue that made everything worse, and a years-long scramble across islands and ocean before the last survivors finally made it home. Today's guest is Eric Jay Dolin, author of "The Wreck of the Mentor." We untangle one of the great forgotten stories of the Age of Sail, and explore how fifty years of British guns and gunboat diplomacy warped Palauan politics long before the Mentor arrived, why the men who attacked the castaways with war clubs also cooked them lavish feasts and wept for their dead, and how crewman Horace Holden kept himself alive on a famine-stricken island when almost everything pointed toward death.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Wreck of the Whaleship Mentor (1832) | Shipwreck, Captivity & Survival in Palau | Interview with Eric Jay Dolin In May 1832, the American whaleship Mentor was battling fierce storms in the western Pacific when disaster struck. Wrecked on a remote reef in the Micronesian archipelago of Palau, eleven surviving crewmen found themselves stranded in unfamiliar territory, their supplies dwindling and their fate uncertain. Within days, indigenous Palauan warriors approached bearing axes, clubs, and spears. What followed was years of captivity, tribal warfare, dashed hopes, and a fraught naval rescue mission that captivated the American public. In this episode, host Rich Napolitano sits down with award-winning maritime historian and bestselling author Eric Jay Dolin to discuss his book The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail. Dolin brings this largely forgotten saga back to life, a gripping story of survival, cultural collision, and the realities of life at sea in the Age of Sail. In this episode:

In May of 1832, an American whaleship called the Mentor went down on a remote reef in the western Pacific. Of the crew, eleven men made it out alive, but surviving the wreck was only the beginning. They found themselves stranded on unfamiliar shores, running low on supplies, and before long they were face to face with the Indigenous people of Palau, who approached them cautiously and heavily armed. My returning guest is best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin, and his new book is called The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail. In this conversation he walks us through the shipwreck, the crew's captivity, the clash of cultures and much more.

Exploring the Forgotten Frontlines of Our Ocean's Battle Against Climate ChangeThe tables turn on the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast as Blue Frontier's Natasha Benjamin interviews Rising Tide co-host and author David Helvarg on his latest book, ‘Forest of the Sea – The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp' (coming out May 5th). As co-director of the award-winning kelp forest documentary ‘Sequoias of the Sea' Natasha is also steeped in the mystery, wonder and peril of these great underwater forests of life and light. So, their discussion ranges over both familiar territory – how a changing warming ocean is impacting kelp forests that have been around over 30 million years - to some of the newer things David discovered during his two years researching the book, interviewing and diving with a wide range of people and creatures from Alaska to California, Maine, Turkey, Palau – for his chapter ‘Kelp is the new Coral' - and other far-flung waterfronts where the world's kelp forests, cover an area larger than the Amazon rainforest. He talks about how they've gotten into serious trouble even as they provide us half a trillion dollars of services a year including as ‘the mother seed' for global food security in fishing and seaweed aquaculture.It's a fun romp through an entangling wonderland, which is why Rising Tide recommends you give a listen and then buy David's book (preferably through your local independent bookstore).

When fleets of young Chinese men arrived in the tiny, Pacific nation of Palau in 2018, authorities wondered why they'd eschewed the archipelago's pristine shores and coral reefs for a handful of tumbledown buildings on the edge of Koror, its biggest town. It wouldn't take long for the story to unfold. These men were the foot soldiers in a new crime wave hitting Palau: digital scammers at the sharp end of a trillion-dollar empire run by the world's richest gangster, and orchestrated by one of China's most infamous Triad kingpins. As Palauan cops dismantled the operation, they discovered it had more than a little to do with their nation's recognition of Taiwan — and Beijing's attempt to use organized crime to bring Asia's states to heel.
