Podcasts about Panama

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Venezuela's regime, allied with communist China, Iran, and others, is deliberately poisoning the U.S. through drugs, contributing to hundreds of thousands of American deaths, making inaction absurd. The war crime claims from Democrats, from a denied report on killing drug boat survivors, are ridiculous. This Venezuela situation is similar to the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama via Operation Just Cause—a surprise attack without war declaration or prior congressional input due to leak fears—to oust drug lord Manuel Noriega, who partnered with Colombians to flood the U.S. with drugs, while restoring democracy and safeguarding Americans.  Also, going forward, every Republican who wants our votes need to declare if they stand with or against Tucker Carlson. This isn't about Carlson, it's a litmus test for fundamental morality, ethics, principles, understanding of American history, and opposition to bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, attacks on Christianity, excuses for the Third Reich, and revisionist narratives portraying America or Churchill as villains.  There's an overlap between Marxist Islamists, and neo-fascists in condemning Judaism, Christianity, and the West, while failing to defend capitalism, free markets, the nation's founders, or its principles.  Later, the book "Liberty and Tyranny," critiques the statist argument for comprehensive immigration reform, which grants illegal immigrants' rights to enter illegally and remain, access welfare benefits like education, healthcare, housing, and food stamps, vote, and be counted in the census, all under the guise that America is a nation of immigrants. Today, almost 20 years later, this remains unchanged. No, immigrants do not have a right to come to America. Finally, parents need to encourage their children to compete, take jobs, work hard, and create opportunities rather than blaming a corrupt system. Success has never come easy for previous generations, including the greatest generation that endured wars and depression. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Il y a des conversations, des chocs et des prises de conscience qui changent une vie. Pour Béranger Natanelic, le déclic est venu de son père. Un homme qui rêvait de repartir au Népal à la retraite, mais dont le corps a dit stop avant l'heure.Alors Béranger a compris : il ne voulait pas attendre “plus tard”. Il voulait vivre, maintenant.Deux ans plus tard, il a traversé l'Atlantique en bateau-stop, parcouru l'Amérique du Sud du nord au sud puis du sud au nord en passant par la Colombie, le Pérou, l'Argentine, le Brésil, le Panama, ou encore le Mexique… près de 400 conducteurs, des centaines de visages, de rencontres et de repas partagés.Toujours en stop. Toujours porté par la confiance et l'hospitalité.Dans cet épisode, il raconte son déclic, ses débuts "à l'arrache," les galères, les peurs, les vagues à traverser - celles de la mer comme celles du cœur - mais surtout, il nous raconte ce que cette vie en itinérance lui a appris sur la liberté, la simplicité et la beauté du lien humain. Un épisode qui donne envie de lever le pouce, d'ouvrir la porte, mais aussi … de croire un peu plus en les autres.Tous les liens pour retrouver Béranger, son voyage, ses rencontres et son podcast par ici : https://papamamantoutvabien.fr/French Expat est un podcast de French Morning qui raconte les parcours de vie des Français établis hors de France.

The Honduran artist talks about the rise of reggaeton, the dark side of beauty standards and her new album, Vanity.In the past decade, reggaeton has taken the world by storm, expanding from beyond its origins in Panama and Puerto Rico to become an undeniable global force. Yet, within this massive cultural explosion, few artists are navigating the sound with the distinct, subversive energy of Isabella Lovestory.Originally from Honduras but shaped by a formative migration to the US and the liminal spaces of the internet, the Montreal-based artist has developed an aesthetic she calls a "plastic fantasy"—a hyper-stylised world of bootleg luxury and cinematic flair.In this Exchange, she talks to Resident Advisor's Chloe Lula about her new album, Vanity, which she calls a response to her obsession with the "dark side of beauty standards." She also discusses her place within the wider reggaeton landscape; her efforts to reclaim and feminise a historically male-dominated genre; the financial erasure of women in the scene; and how her experimental approach challenges the self-seriousness of electronic music.

What if you could legally pay zero taxes while building wealth around the world? In this episode, Gary sits down with Mikkel Thorup, the world's most sought-after expat consultant and the Founder and CEO of Expat Money. Mikkel has spent more than 25 years traveling to 120 countries, living in 9 of them, and building a thriving international consulting firm that helps high-net-worth clients reduce taxes, secure second residencies, and build global investment portfolios. He breaks down the truth behind the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, why residency matters more than people think, how offshore banking protects you from government freezes, and what countries offer the most favorable territorial tax systems. Mikkel also shares his personal story of overcoming dyslexia, dropping out of school, and designing a life and business that spans the globe.  This conversation gives you the facts that most professionals never learn. If you have ever wondered how wealthy people legally reduce taxes, diversify risk, and expand their options beyond the United States, this episode opens that door. Key Takeaways→ Understanding the two global tax models and why the United States is unique in taxing citizens, no matter where they live → How the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion works and the difference between the physical presence test and bona fide residency → Why offshore banking is an essential part of a financial plan B, and when it protects you from domestic account freezes → What territorial taxation means and why countries like Panama, Costa Rica, Paraguay, and Belize attract entrepreneurs → How active income and passive income differ for expats and how classification affects legal tax reduction → Why obtaining legal residency or a second citizenship is the foundation for any global tax strategy Quote From Mikkel Thorup“I tell everybody this. You can legally pay less tax, invest globally, and increase your freedom, but you must follow the rules and structure your life correctly. That is the real secret.”Ready to explore tax reduction, global residency, or international investments?

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 151-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,063 on turnover of 6.5-billion N-T. The market moved sharply higher on Tuesday - adding just over 400-points - on the back of investor hopes that the U-S Federal Reserve will initiate more rate cuts next month and that led to a surge in interest for large cap semiconductor stocks. Panama lawmakers arrive in Taiwan despite reported China pressure A group of Panamanian lawmakers have arrived in Taiwan in apparent defiance of reported Chinese requests that they cancel the trip. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the nine-member delegation (代表團) will meet with Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim, Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu and attend a banquet hosted by Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung during their stay. An Associated Press report citing a Panamanian daily newspaper as saying Chinese embassy staff in Panama asked a total of 10 lawmakers to "immediately cancel" plans to visit Taiwan. The foreign ministry here is condemning (譴責) Beijing for trying to intervene in what it's calling Taiwan's "normal exchanges with other countries." Tropical storm forms over Philippine waters; no direct impact on Taiwan And, The Central Weather Administration says Tropical Storm Koto will not have a direct impact on Taiwan. The storm formed yesterday evening and is currently located west of the Philippines. Based on the weather administration's latest tracking chart, the storm will approach (逼近) the coast of Vietnam in the coming days before veering in a northerly direction towards China's Hainan Island on Saturday. Koto is the 27th tropical storm of this year Pacific typhoon season. Trump sending envoy Steve Witkoff to discuss possible Ukraine peace deal with Putin Donald Trump says he's sending his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin - as he tries to finalize a Ukraine peace deal. The US president says he believes a deal is close, but that he won't personally (親自) meet with the leaders of Ukraine or Russia until the deal is final or in its final stages. Toni Waterman has more. Italy Approves Law Adding Femicide to Criminal Law Italy's parliament has approved a law that introduces femicide (殺害女性) into the country's criminal law and punishes it with life in prison. Tuesday's final vote saw bipartisan support. The law is backed by the conservative government of Premier Giorgia Meloni. It comes in response to a series of killings and other violence targeting women in Italy. Italy's statistics agency recorded 106 femicides in 2024, with over half of them committed by partners (伴侶) or former partners. The law includes stronger measures against gender-based crimes including stalking and revenge porn. While the center-left opposition supported the law in parliament, it stressed that the government approach only tackles the criminal aspect of the problem while leaving economic and cultural divides unaddressed.

Vietnam ended, but its shadow did not. This episode opens with Project 100,000 and the Pentagon Papers, where promises of opportunity and careful strategy give way to lowered standards, hidden escalation, and young men sent to fight under false stories. From there, we follow the Marines into uneasy interventions. Beirut begins as a mission of presence and ends in the rubble of the 1983 barracks bombing. Grenada and Panama mix rescue, raids, and regime change on small pieces of ground where the politics are anything but simple. The story moves into the 1990s, when Marines become first in for a new kind of mission. Desert Shield and Desert Storm show how fast they can break a fortified army, while Somalia, Liberia, Haiti, and northern Iraq put them to work feeding the hungry and guarding refugees. Again and again, Washington speaks in the language of good intentions, and Marines live with the cost.

Constituye una fuente de ingresos clave para Panamá a través de los peajes que se cobran a los barcos que pasan por el canal. La construcción del Canal de Panamá representó una monumental hazaña de ingeniería que exigió superar importantes retos, como un terreno accidentado, densas selvas tropicales y la necesidad de atravesar la divisoria continental. El dólar estadounidense ha sido una de las monedas oficiales de Panamá durante más de un siglo. Su uso se remonta a principios del siglo XX, durante la construcción del Canal de Panamá, cuando se convirtió en la moneda preferida dentro de la Zona del Canal de Panamá. Ciudad de Panamá, la vibrante capital de Panamá, está rodeada de verdes reservas naturales y espacios verdes. El Parque Nacional Metropolitano, de aproximadamente 232 hectáreas dentro de los límites de la ciudad, destaca por ser uno de los pocos parques urbanos del mundo que cuenta con un bosque tropical húmedo. Panamá alberga más de 10.000 especies de plantas, 1.500 de árboles y unas 1.000 de aves, lo que la convierte en un paraíso para los ornitólogos. Sus selvas tropicales están repletas de fauna exótica, como perezosos, monos, jaguares, tapires y un sinfín de reptiles y anfibios. Hay 3 volcanes en Panamá. Entre los volcanes más notables de Panamá están el Volcán Barú, el Volcán de Chiriquí y el Volcán El Valle. El Volcán Barú, situado cerca de la frontera con Costa Rica, en la provincia de Chiriquí, es el pico más alto de Panamá, con una altura aproximada de 3.474 metros. Aunque se considera inactivo más que activo, sigue siendo un importante accidente geológico de la región. Panamá tiene la segunda mayor zona franca del mundo. La Zona Libre de Colón, situada cerca de la ciudad de Colón, en la costa caribeña de Panamá, ocupa más de 1.000 hectáreas y se considera un importante centro de comercio internacional. Como una de las mayores zonas francas del mundo, la ZLC es un motor económico vital para Panamá, que atrae a miles de empresas internacionales y genera importantes ingresos para el país. Su ubicación estratégica cerca del Canal de Panamá y su acceso a las principales rutas marítimas la convierten en un centro de distribución ideal para las mercancías destinadas a los mercados de toda América y más allá.My new Youtube channel: Spanish with Dennishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVuRUMQGwtzBIp1YAImQFQMy new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

WhoDeb Hatley, Owner of Hatley Pointe, North CarolinaRecorded onJuly 30, 2025About Hatley PointeClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Deb and David Hatley since 2023 - purchased from Orville English, who had owned and operated the resort since 1992Located in: Mars Hill, North CarolinaYear founded: 1969 (as Wolf Laurel or Wolf Ridge; both names used over the decades)Pass affiliations: Indy Pass, Indy+ Pass – 2 days, no blackoutsClosest neighboring ski areas: Cataloochee (1:25), Sugar Mountain (1:26)Base elevation: 4,000 feetSummit elevation: 4,700 feetVertical drop: 700 feetSkiable acres: 54Average annual snowfall: 65 inchesTrail count: 21 (4 beginner, 11 intermediate, 6 advanced)Lift count: 4 active (1 fixed-grip quad, 1 ropetow, 2 carpets); 2 inactive, both on the upper mountain (1 fixed-grip quad, 1 double)Why I interviewed herOur world has not one map, but many. Nature drew its own with waterways and mountain ranges and ecosystems and tectonic plates. We drew our maps on top of these, to track our roads and borders and political districts and pipelines and railroad tracks.Our maps are functional, simplistic. They insist on fictions. Like the 1,260-mile-long imaginary straight line that supposedly splices the United States from Canada between Washington State and Minnesota. This frontier is real so long as we say so, but if humanity disappeared tomorrow, so would that line.Nature's maps are more resilient. This is where water flows because this is where water flows. If we all go away, the water keeps flowing. This flow, in turn, impacts the shape and function of the entire world.One of nature's most interesting maps is its mountain map. For most of human existence, mountains mattered much more to us than they do now. Meaning: we had to respect these giant rocks because they stood convincingly in our way. It took European settlers centuries to navigate en masse over the Appalachians, which is not even a severe mountain range, by global mountain-range standards. But paved roads and tunnels and gas stations every five miles have muted these mountains' drama. You can now drive from the Atlantic Ocean to the Midwest in half a day.So spoiled by infrastructure, we easily forget how dramatically mountains command huge parts of our world. In America, we know this about our country: the North is cold and the South is warm. And we define these regions using battle maps from a 19th Century war that neatly bisected the nation. Another imaginary line. We travel south for beaches and north to ski and it is like this everywhere, a gentle progression, a continent-length slide that warms as you descend from Alaska to Panama.But mountains disrupt this logic. Because where the land goes up, the air grows cooler. And there are mountains all over. And so we have skiing not just in expected places such as Vermont and Maine and Michigan and Washington, but in completely irrational ones like Arizona and New Mexico and Southern California. And North Carolina.North Carolina. That's the one that surprised me. When I started skiing, I mean. Riding hokey-poke chairlifts up 1990s Midwest hills that wouldn't qualify as rideable surf breaks, I peered out at the world to figure out where else people skied and what that skiing was like. And I was astonished by how many places had organized skiing with cut trails and chairlifts and lift tickets, and by how many of them were way down the Michigan-to-Florida slide-line in places where I thought that winter never came: West Virginia and Virginia and Maryland. And North Carolina.Yes there are ski areas in more improbable states. But Cloudmont, situated in, of all places, Alabama, spins its ropetow for a few days every other year or so. North Carolina, home to six ski areas spinning a combined 35 chairlifts, allows for no such ambiguity: this is a ski state. And these half-dozen ski centers are not marginal operations: Sugar Mountain and Cataloochee opened for the season last week, and they sometimes open in October. Sugar spins a six-pack and two detach quads on a 1,200-foot vertical drop.This geographic quirk is a product of our wonderful Appalachian Mountain chain, which reaches its highest points not in New England but in North Carolina, where Mount Mitchell peaks at 6,684 feet, 396 feet higher than the summit of New Hampshire's Mount Washington. This is not an anomaly: North Carolina is home to six summits taller than Mount Washington, and 12 of the 20-highest in the Appalachians, a range that stretches from Alabama to Newfoundland. And it's not just the summits that are taller in North Carolina. The highest ski area base elevation in New England is Saddleback, which measures 2,147 feet at the bottom of the South Branch quad (the mountain more typically uses the 2,460-foot measurement at the bottom of the Rangeley quad). Either way, it's more than 1,000 feet below the lowest base-area elevation in North Carolina:Unfortunately, mountains and elevation don't automatically equal snow. And the Southern Appalachians are not exactly the Kootenays. It snows some, sometimes, but not so much, so often, that skiing can get by on nature's contributions alone - at least not in any commercially reliable form. It's no coincidence that North Carolina didn't develop any organized ski centers until the 1960s, when snowmaking machines became efficient and common enough for mass deployment. But it's plenty cold up at 4,000 feet, and there's no shortage of water. Snowguns proved to be skiing's last essential ingredient.Well, there was one final ingredient to the recipe of southern skiing: roads. Back to man's maps. Specifically, America's interstate system, which steamrolled the countryside throughout the 1960s and passes just a few miles to Hatley Pointe's west. Without these superhighways, western North Carolina would still be a high-peaked wilderness unknown and inaccessible to most of us.It's kind of amazing when you consider all the maps together: a severe mountain region drawn into the borders of a stable and prosperous nation that builds physical infrastructure easing the movement of people with disposable income to otherwise inaccessible places that have been modified for novel uses by tapping a large and innovative industrial plant that has reduced the miraculous – flight, electricity, the internet - to the commonplace. And it's within the context of all these maps that a couple who knows nothing about skiing can purchase an established but declining ski resort and remake it as an upscale modern family ski center in the space of 18 months.What we talked aboutHurricane Helene fallout; “it took every second until we opened up to make it there,” even with a year idle; the “really tough” decision not to open for the 2023-24 ski season; “we did not realize what we were getting ourselves into”; buying a ski area when you've never worked at a ski area and have only skied a few times; who almost bought Wolf Ridge and why Orville picked the Hatleys instead; the importance of service; fixing up a broken-down ski resort that “felt very old”; updating without losing the approachable family essence; why it was “absolutely necessary” to change the ski area's name; “when you pulled in, the first thing that you were introduced to … were broken-down machines and school buses”; Bible verses and bare trails and busted-up everything; “we could have spent two years just doing cleanup of junk and old things everywhere”; Hatley Pointe then and now; why Hatley removed the double chair; a detachable six-pack at Hatley?; chairlifts as marketing and branding tools; why the Breakaway terrain closed and when it could return and in what form; what a rebuilt summit lodge could look like; Hatley Pointe's new trails; potential expansion; a day-ski area, a resort, or both?; lift-served mountain bike park incoming; night-skiing expansion; “I was shocked” at the level of après that Hatley drew, and expanding that for the years ahead; North Carolina skiing is all about the altitude; re-opening The Bowl trail; going to online-only sales; and lessons learned from 2024-25 that will build a better Hatley for 2025-26.What I got wrongWhen we recorded this conversation, the ski area hadn't yet finalized the name of the new green trail coming off of Eagle – it is Pat's Way (see trailmap above).I asked if Hatley intended to install night-skiing, not realizing that they had run night-ski operations all last winter.Why now was a good time for this interviewPardon my optimism, but I'm feeling good about American lift-served skiing right now. Each of the past five winters has been among the top 10 best seasons for skier visits, U.S. ski areas have already built nearly as many lifts in the 2020s (246) as they did through all of the 2010s (288), and multimountain passes have streamlined the flow of the most frequent and passionate skiers between mountains, providing far more flexibility at far less cost than would have been imaginable even a decade ago.All great. But here's the best stat: after declining throughout the 1980s and ‘90s, the number of active U.S. ski areas stabilized around the turn of the century, and has actually increased for five consecutive winters:Those are National Ski Areas Association numbers, which differ slightly from mine. I count 492 active ski hills for 2023-24 and 500 for last winter, and I project 510 potentially active ski areas for the 2025-26 campaign. But no matter: the number of active ski operations appears to be increasing.But the raw numbers matter less than the manner in which this uptick is happening. In short: a new generation of owners is resuscitating lost or dying ski areas. Many have little to no ski industry experience. Driven by nostalgia, a sense of community duty, plain business opportunity, or some combination of those things, they are orchestrating massive ski area modernization projects, funded via their own wealth – typically earned via other enterprises – or by rallying a donor base.Examples abound. When I launched The Storm in 2019, Saddleback, Maine; Norway Mountain, Michigan; Woodward Park City; Thrill Hills, North Dakota; Deer Mountain, South Dakota; Paul Bunyan, Wisconsin; Quarry Road, Maine; Steeplechase, Minnesota; and Snowland, Utah were all lost ski areas. All are now open again, and only one – Woodward – was the project of an established ski area operator (Powdr). Cuchara, Colorado and Nutt Hill, Wisconsin are on the verge of re-opening following decades-long lift closures. Bousquet, Massachusetts; Holiday Mountain, New York; Kissing Bridge, New York; and Black Mountain, New Hampshire were disintegrating in slow-motion before energetic new owners showed up with wrecking balls and Home Depot frequent-shopper accounts. New owners also re-energized the temporarily dormant Sandia Peak, New Mexico and Tenney, New Hampshire.One of my favorite revitalization stories has been in North Carolina, where tired, fire-ravaged, investment-starved, homey-but-rickety Wolf Ridge was falling down and falling apart. The ski area's season ended in February four times between 2018 and 2023. Snowmaking lagged. After an inferno ate the summit lodge in 2014, no one bothered rebuilding it. Marooned between the rapidly modernizing North Carolina ski trio of Sugar Mountain, Cataloochee, and Beech, Wolf Ridge appeared to be rapidly fading into irrelevance.Then the Hatleys came along. Covid-curious first-time skiers who knew little about skiing or ski culture, they saw opportunity where the rest of us saw a reason to keep driving. Fixing up a ski area turned out to be harder than they'd anticipated, and they whiffed on opening for the 2023-24 winter. Such misses sometimes signal that the new owners are pulling their ripcords as they launch out of the back of the plane, but the Hatleys kept working. They gut-renovated the lodge, modernized the snowmaking plant, tore down an SLI double chair that had witnessed the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And last winter, they re-opened the best version of the ski area now known as Hatley Pointe that locals had seen in decades.A great winter – one of the best in recent North Carolina history – helped. But what I admire about the Hatleys – and this new generation of owners in general – is their optimism in a cultural moment that has deemed optimism corny and naïve. Everything is supposed to be terrible all the time, don't you know that? They didn't know, and that orientation toward the good, tempered by humility and patience, reversed the long decline of a ski area that had in many ways ceased to resonate with the world it existed in.The Hatleys have lots left to do: restore the Breakaway terrain, build a new summit lodge, knot a super-lift to the frontside. And their Appalachian salvage job, while impressive, is not a very repeatable blueprint – you need considerable wealth to take a season off while deploying massive amounts of capital to rebuild the ski area. The Hatley model is one among many for a generation charged with modernizing increasingly antiquated ski areas before they fall over dead. Sometimes, as in the examples itemized above, they succeed. But sometimes they don't. Comebacks at Cockaigne and Hickory, both in New York, fizzled. Sleeping Giant, Wyoming and Ski Blandford, Massachusetts both shuttered after valiant rescue attempts. All four of these remain salvageable, but last week, Four Seasons, New York closed permanently after 63 years.That will happen. We won't be able to save every distressed ski area, and the potential supply of new or revivable ski centers, barring massive cultural and regulatory shifts, will remain limited. But the protectionist tendencies limiting new ski area development are, in a trick of human psychology, the same ones that will drive the revitalization of others – the only thing Americans resist more than building something new is taking away something old. Which in our country means anything that was already here when we showed up. A closed or closing ski area riles the collective angst, throws a snowy bat signal toward the night sky, a beacon and a dare, a cry and a plea: who wants to be a hero?Podcast NotesOn Hurricane HeleneHelene smashed inland North Carolina last fall, just as Hatley was attempting to re-open after its idle year. Here's what made the storm so bad:On Hatley's socialsFollow:On what I look for at a ski resortOn the Ski Big Bear podcastIn the spirit of the article above, one of the top 10 Storm Skiing Podcast guest quotes ever came from Ski Big Bear, Pennsylvania General Manager Lori Phillips: “You treat everyone like they paid a million dollars to be there doing what they're doing”On ski area name changesI wrote a piece on Hatley's name change back in 2023:Ski area name changes are more common than I'd thought. I've been slowly documenting past name changes as I encounter them, so this is just a partial list, but here are 93 active U.S. ski areas that once went under a different name. If you know of others, please email me.On Hatley at the point of purchase and nowGigantic collections of garbage have always fascinated me. That's essentially what Wolf Ridge was at the point of sale:It's a different place now:On the distribution of six-packs across the nationSix-pack chairlifts are rare and expensive enough that they're still special, but common enough that we're no longer amazed by them. Mostly - it depends on where we find such a machine. Just 112 of America's 3,202 ski lifts (3.5 percent) are six-packs, and most of these (75) are in the West (60 – more than half the nation's total, are in Colorado, Utah, or California). The Midwest is home to a half-dozen six-packs, all at Boyne or Midwest Family Ski Resorts operations, and the East has 31 sixers, 17 of which are in New England, and 12 of which are in Vermont. If Hatley installed a sixer, it would be just the second such chairlift in North Carolina, and the fifth in the Southeast, joining the two at Wintergreen, Virginia and the one at Timberline, West Virginia.On the Breakaway fireWolf Ridge's upper-mountain lodge burned down in March 2014.

Le mot “pseudocide” intrigue : on dirait un terme issu d'un roman policier. Pourtant, il désigne un phénomène bien réel, parfois tragique, parfois déroutant. Le pseudocide, c'est tout simplement l'acte de simuler sa propre mort. Une disparition organisée, volontaire, parfois extrêmement sophistiquée, dont l'objectif est toujours le même : faire croire au monde que l'on n'existe plus.Le pseudocide se distingue de la disparition volontaire ou de la cavale classique par un élément clé : il implique une mise en scène. La personne laisse derrière elle des indices destinés à convaincre les proches, les enquêteurs ou la presse qu'elle est décédée. Accident de voiture truqué, vêtements abandonnés en bord de mer, bateau retrouvé vide, fausse agression… les scénarios varient, mais suivent une logique commune : créer suffisamment de vraisemblance pour que personne ne soupçonne une fuite.Mais pourquoi simuler sa mort ? Les motivations sont multiples. Certains cherchent à échapper à des dettes, à la justice, ou à une situation personnelle devenue insupportable. D'autres veulent fuir une pression médiatique ou familiale. Il existe même des cas où le pseudocide est commis par désespoir, comme une manière radicale de rompre avec une vie jugée ingérable.L'histoire regorge d'exemples étonnants. L'un des plus célèbres est celui de John Darwin, un Britannique qui, en 2002, simule sa mort en canoë pour échapper à ses dettes. Pendant cinq ans, il vit dans une chambre secrète au domicile conjugal, avant que l'affaire n'éclate lorsque lui et sa femme apparaissent naïvement sur une photo prise… au Panama. D'autres cas restent mystérieux, comme celui de certaines célébrités supposément “disparues” mais que l'on croit apercevoir des années plus tard.Le pseudocide est rarement couronné de succès durable. Simuler sa mort entraîne presque toujours des conséquences juridiques lourdes : fraude à l'assurance, falsification de documents, obstruction à la justice. Et surtout, un pseudocide s'effondre souvent à cause de détails anodins : un retrait bancaire, un message envoyé, une photo publiée, une simple erreur humaine qui dévoile la supercherie.Sur le plan psychologique, disparaître ainsi demande une préparation mentale extrême : renoncer à ses proches, couper toute communication, vivre sous une nouvelle identité, accepter la solitude et le stress constant de l'anonymat. Beaucoup de “revenants” témoignent d'un profond malaise, comme si l'acte de fuir sa vie l'avait rendue encore plus lourde à porter.En somme, le pseudocide est un acte de rupture totale, spectaculaire et souvent tragique. Une disparition qui, derrière son apparente audace, révèle surtout une immense détresse ou un désespoir prêt à tout pour recommencer à zéro. Hébergé par Acast.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan takes listeners across Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and Chile to reveal a regional battle between the Left and the Right. He then connects these global trends to the rise of Democratic Socialism in the United States and explains what a socialist future for America would look like in the words of the Democratic Socialists of America themselves. Trump Weighs Strikes in Venezuela and Colombia: The USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has arrived off the Venezuelan coast with fifteen thousand U.S. troops in the region. Trump says he will not rule out military action or even ground forces against the Maduro regime, which the State Department has formally labeled a terrorist organization. Maduro has offered Trump access to Venezuela's massive oil reserves in exchange for staying in power, and the White House is openly considering all options. In Colombia, Marxist president Gustavo Petro continues to defend his past with the M-19 terror group. Trump signaled he is willing to hit Colombian drug labs if necessary, saying he would be "proud" to destroy them. Mexico Erupts Over Cartel Violence: Mexico City saw a weekend of violent protests that left one hundred officers injured. Outrage grew after the assassination of a popular mayor in Michoacan by a cartel-recruited teen. Protesters blasted President Claudia Sheinbaum's approach of "Hugs, Not Bullets," arguing it has empowered cartels and left communities defenseless. Younger Mexicans filled the streets, furious that their country remains trapped between socialist leadership and cartel domination. Chile Rejects the Far Left: Seventy percent of Chilean voters backed conservative candidates in the first round of the presidential election. Jose Kast, a conservative Catholic with nine children, will face Communist Party member Jeanne Jara in the December runoff. Voters say crime, cartels, and mass illegal migration have pushed the nation to the breaking point. Kast has vowed to secure the border with walls and landmines, expand prisons, and cut leftist funding that has fueled unrest and economic decline. The Bigger Picture: A Hemisphere in Revolt: Across Latin America, leftist governments are collapsing under crime, corruption, and failed socialist policies. Voters in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, and El Salvador have already swung to the Right. Europe is shifting too. Yet the United States is moving in the opposite direction. Cities like New York and Seattle are embracing radical Democratic Socialists who draw inspiration from Latin American Marxists. What a Socialist America Would Look Like: Bryan walks through the Democratic Socialists of America's own strategy document from 2012. The group calls for abolishing private business, seizing the means of production, replacing entrepreneurs with government bureaucrats, and using the Democratic Party as a host to move the country toward Marxism. DSA leaders admit there is no blueprint for how their system would work and acknowledge the violent history of Marxist regimes. Their model depends on free housing, free jobs, free education, and government assigned careers funded by an undefined source. Bryan warns that the movement is already advancing inside the Democratic Party with leaders like AOC and Zohran Mamdani openly following the playbook.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Venezuela USS Gerald Ford, Maduro cartel de los soles terrorism, Gustavo Petro M-19 Colombia strikes, Mexico City cartel protests Claudia Sheinbaum, Michoacan mayor assassination cartel teen, Chile election Jose Kast Jeanne Jara, Democratic Socialists of America 2012 document, DSA seize means of production, Mamdani AOC Democratic Party strategy

What if the biggest barrier to healing… is the belief that you're broken? So many of us are doing everything right — eating better, moving more, trying to fix our health — but deep down, we're carrying a quiet belief that we're not enough. That our body is the problem. That healing has to come through restriction, guilt, or perfection. But what if real change begins not with feeling shame — but love? In this week's episode, we sit down with Ocean Robbins, CEO of the Food Revolution Network, for a deep, honest conversation about what it means to root health in compassion — not shame. Ocean is the son of John Robbins, who famously walked away from the Baskin-Robbins empire to write Diet for a New America. Ocean has forged his own path — helping millions transform their relationship with food and health to experience what truly matters to us in life. In this episode we explore: Why so many people feel like they're failing at health How Ocean's upbringing shaped his values and mission The tension between grief, perfectionism, and purpose What it means to choose love — again and again This conversation was one of our most soulful and resonant yet — and I'm so glad to have Po back for it. You're definitely in for a treat. So whether you've felt stuck, not enough, and are looking for a gentler path forward — this episode is for you. Until next time… Live well and RAK ON, – Dr. Rak

This week, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the launch of 'Operation Southern Spear', a new and more intense mission targeting narco-terror networks all across Latin America. It comes just days after the Pentagon's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford, moved into the region. Also announced, more complex training in Trinidad and Tobago which adds land training already happening in both Puerto Rico and Panama. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Dr. Rebecca Grant, national security analyst based in Washington, DC and the Vice President of the Lexington Institute, who says explains the significance of this intensified build-up of military assets in the region.

Thousands of people have been marching through the streets of Belem to demand stronger action on tackling global warming, as the UN climate summit continues in the Brazilian city. Indigenous communities, youth groups, and climate activists from across the world were among those joining the rally to mark COP 30's half-way point. We speak to Panama's special representative on climate change Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez. Also in the programme: President Trump has hit out at Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who had been one of his closest allies; why Iceland's former Prime Minister is worried her native language is under threat; and as Pope Leo holds an audience with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, we speak to a nun who is also a film critic.

Today's poem is Panama by Sarah Green. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “There's a distinct disenchantment when the spell of the relationship has broken, and the magic's gone. You're not seeing the world through love's rosy lens anymore. You wonder about what you might have overlooked, or misinterpreted, or just got wrong. I mean, I've been there. Most of us have been there more than once. It can take a lot of time and a lot of work, and maybe some therapy, to get to a place of acceptance, let alone contentment, after an important relationship ends. It can take even longer to get to a place of gratitude: to be able to parse how or why it ended from what it WAS. To be able to separate the END of the story from the story as a whole. To be grateful for what the relationship gave you and taught you.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

This episode traces the Marine Corps' transformation from the late 1800s into the modern force recognized today. It begins with the creation of Parris Island and the evolution of Marine training, from tents and marshland to a world-class recruit depot tested by war, tragedy, and reform. The story moves through Panama, where Marines became America's instrument of order, and into the age of steel ships and global ambition. It follows their battles in Cuba, the Philippines, and across Central America during the Banana Wars, where the Corps learned the lessons of small wars, air-ground coordination, and constabulary duty. Figures like Charles Heywood, John A. Lejeune, and Smedley Butler emerge as the architects of a professional, expeditionary force. By the time the last Marines left Nicaragua in 1933, the Corps had been reshaped, no longer a naval guard but a global instrument of American power, forged in hardship and defined by purpose.

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins Jahr 1938, und sprechen über die vier Schwestern Sigmund Freunds. Nachdem Freud nach England geflüchtet ist, bleiben die betagten Schwestern in Wien zurück. Abgesichert, zumindest hoffen so Sigmund und sein Bruder Alexander, durch einen beträchtlichen Geldbetrag, den sie ihnen zurückgelassen haben. Doch sie unterschätzen damit die Radikalisierung und die Perfidie des NS-Regimes. Vielen Dank an Johanna Frei und Daniela Finzi vom Freud Museum in Wien für das Gespräch und die Quellen für diese Folge.
