Main Topic: Eggshell Minerals and Dystocia in Eastern Indigo Snakes A threatened species, a captive breeding program fighting a near-1-in-3 dystocia rate, and a clever question: does that reproductive struggle leave a trace in the eggshell? Mark and Brendan dig into new eggshell mineral analysis from the Orianne Center for Indigo Conservation’s eastern indigo snake colony — what differs between wild- and captive-bred snakes, what differs between normal oviposition and dystocia, and why sodium keeps showing up as a signal worth watching.

For many Pacific women, their 40s and 50s can be a transformative time marked by wisdom, confidence and self-discovery. With lived experience comes a clearer understanding of what truly matters, bringing fresh perspectives on relationships, health, family and identity. On Sistas Let's Talk Natasha Meten speaks with three women about the realities of midlife – what excites them, what challenges them and the lessons they've learned along the way. She's joined by Berthadene Keki Ale, 46, Emilihter Kihleng, 44, and Arah Ecke, who is in her 50s, for a candid discussion about aging, resilience and embracing new chapters.

“The ultimate defeat of Japan [will] be accomplished by blockade, bombing, and assault.”This is the story of American island hopping—or should we say leapfrogging?—through Pacific waters. By 1943, the Japanese are settled in for the long haul, no matter what it may cost. America sees some successes like new skip bombing techniques at the Battle of the Bismarck sea, but a change of strategy is needed for real gains. American leaders General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral William "Bull" Halsey launch Operation Cartwheel, a strategic campaign of amphibious landings designed to neutralize Japanese strongholds like Rabaul, Papua New Guinea without attacking head-on. Meanwhile, even though the Solomon Islands are still an active war zone, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt undertakes a morale-boosting tour, visiting every wounded soldier she possibly can. Just a few short months later, Americans win the brutal Battle of Tarawa at great cost, a decisive victory that exposes the devastating realities of island warfare to those back home. Is each tiny island in the Pacific worth this much death? Or can another path be found? ____Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com andgo deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendationsjoin discussions in our Facebook communityget news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live showget HTDS merchor become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.HTDS is part of Audacy media network.

In today's Crosswalk Devotional, we reflect on John 14:2, where Jesus promises to prepare a place for those who belong to Him. While this world offers temporary joys and inevitable hardships, our ultimate hope is found in the eternal home Christ has prepared for us. The more we fix our hearts on heaven, the less we become consumed by the fleeting treasures of this world. An eternal perspective reshapes our priorities, strengthens our faith through suffering, and reminds us that our greatest joy is not found in earthly comforts but in the promise of being forever with Jesus.

If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2 ESV). In the fourteenth chapter of John, Jesus told His followers He was leaving them to prepare a place for them and that He would return and take them with Him so that they would always be with Him. He called this place that He was preparing a mansion with many rooms, and, in my understanding of Scripture, Jesus might’ve downplayed it a little about what truly awaits us in this place He’s preparing for us. I wonder if we really think about His promise to return, and if what awaits us in heaven is really impacting our lives and our longings. I once heard an author and speaker say that our frustration—at heartache, pain and suffering, struggling to attain perfect love, and even striving for a more fulfilling relationship with God—is to be expected because “this life on earth is not the way it was supposed to be. Our former address was Paradise.” When my husband, Hugh, visited the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea several years ago, he observed something peculiar and wonderful about the Iteri people. These tribesmen, in a church established years earlier by American missionaries, were a people obsessed with heaven. When my husband—an American man who was schooled in the knowledge of the Scriptures—came to speak at the little Iteri church, the natives bombarded him with questions, but not about doctrines or dispensations, interpretations, or translations. They wanted to know more about heaven. Lon, the American missionary to the Iteri people, attempted to explain to my husband the people’s particular obsession with eternity. Because the Iteri people dealt with so much suffering, saw so many of their loved ones die, and had such a high mortality rate there in the jungle, the life to come was all they really cared about. When I heard that, I thought about how it must touch our Creator’s heart to know that, somewhere in this world, some of His loved ones truly long to be home. Intersecting Faith & Life: When my husband recounted the Iteri’s questions to me, my heart grieved over my own contentment with this earth, to the detriment of my longing for heaven. Why isn’t heaven all I think about? Why do I not long more to be in the presence of my Savior, to be away from the pain and the temporary and the often meaninglessness of this world, and to be complete and whole, and by His side as I was created to be? In what ways have I grown too comfortable in this world and forgotten that my real home is in heaven? What cheap substitutes for heaven have I settled for? In Colossians 3:1-2, we are instructed, as followers of Christ, to seek the things above—in heaven—where Christ is, and to set our minds on things above, not on things that are on earth. And in Matthew 6:19-20, Jesus said, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” Those are commands and exhortations to be eternally minded, to be preoccupied with heaven, and to set our hearts and our desires there for the health of our souls, for proper order of our values, and for our inexplicable joy. Oh, to have a longing to be with the Maker of my soul… to long for Him as much as He longs for me. It’s clear to me today that my longing for Heaven is directly proportionate to my longing for Christ. Lord, give me a longing for the day I will be in perfect communion with You – no distractions, no other loves to steal my heart away, just You and me. For eternity.

Every day, judges make decisions that change lives forever. They do so while reckoning with some of the worst of human nature, overwhelming workloads and constant public scrutiny - pressures that can ultimately affect the quality of justice they deliver.The Honorable Rangajeeva Wimalasena, Judge of the National and Supreme Courts of Papua New Guinea, told UN News that judicial well-being is not simply about providing support for the profession, it's also about safeguarding the integrity of courts and ensuring fair, impartial justice for all.He spoke to Jolina Dong – who last year saw the law in action up close after interning at the US Supreme Court – just ahead of the International Day of Judicial Well-being on 25 July.

As global security deteriorates, a major new UNSW Canberra survey reveals a startling paradox in the Australian psyche: unwavering trust in the Australian Defence Force, coupled with a deep misunderstanding of its operations, widespread apathy towards increased funding, and a shocking drop in support for traditional alliances. Australia's relationship with the ADF is reaching a strange inflection point. Joining Steve Kuper on Contested Ground, UNSW Canberra's Dr Richard Dunley and Dr Nicole Townsend reveal how the latest public sentiment data exposes a dangerous disconnect between Canberra's strategic reality and the public's expectations. At first glance, the report offers a comforting narrative for Defence leadership. Public trust in the ADF remains impressively high, holding steady from 2025. Nearly 70 per cent of Australians trust the ADF as an institution, and over 65 per cent trust it to act ethically. However, as Dunley and Townsend reveal, this trust is built on a foundation of profound public ignorance. Despite escalating global tensions, most respondents admitted they are uninformed about current ADF operations. This highlights a persistent and widening gap between the ADF's complex, widespread operational commitments and the Australian public's understanding of what their military actually does. This lack of understanding is having tangible impacts on public policy appetite. The survey found that despite Australians reporting a deteriorating perception of global security, support for additional Defence funding has flatlined, remaining steady at roughly one-third of the population. More concerningly, the researchers noted a small but significant growth in the number of respondents actively favouring cuts to the Defence budget. "Australians are feeling less secure, yet they aren't willing to pay more for security," Kuper says, driving to the heart of the paradox. The public seems most comfortable viewing the ADF through the lens of a highly capable emergency management agency. There is overwhelming support – over 82 per cent – for the ADF's involvement in domestic disaster relief, and strong backing (68.4 per cent) for regional humanitarian assistance. Yet, when it comes to hard power and traditional strategic posture, the survey reveals a dramatic shift. In a major departure from the 2025 data, support for the ADF operating closely with traditional allies – particularly the United States – has plummeted by nearly 20 per cent. While a slim majority (54.4 per cent) still support these alliances, outright opposition has spiked dramatically. Conversely, the public shows a naive optimism towards regional security treaties. Australians broadly believe the recent mutual defence treaty with Papua New Guinea will enhance security, even though only 37 per cent of respondents actually knew the treaty existed. A similar trend of "sentiment over substance" emerged regarding veterans. While the public strongly supports government initiatives for veterans, there is a distinct lack of awareness regarding actual veteran issues or policies. Join Kuper, Dunley, and Townsend on Contested Ground as they dissect these findings and ask the critical question: Can the ADF rely on public trust if that trust is blind?

Turning 30 can feel like standing at a crossroads, caught between who you were and who you want to become. In this episode of Sistas Let's Talk, three Papua New Guinean women reflect on life in their 30s, sharing candid stories career ambitions, family responsibilities, self-discovery and the realities of adulthood.

In this episode of The Kokoda Track Podcast, Glenn Azar explores one of the most valuable pieces of equipment you can take on the Kokoda Track—trekking poles. Drawing on over 100 crossings of Kokoda, Glenn explains the latest biomechanics research, why trekking poles are most effective on steep descents, how they can improve balance and reduce fatigue, and the common mistakes trekkers make when using them. Whether you're preparing for your first crossing or looking to make your next trek more comfortable and efficient, this practical episode will help you decide whether trekking poles deserve a place in your pack.

This week's episode features Energy Transition Minerals managing director Daniel Mamadou in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli about the status of the company's Kvanefjeld rare earths project in Greenland. Mamadou outlines the project's history and the licensing challenges it has faced with the Greenland government. He also explains why, in his view, the company and project have been unfairly politicized and targeted, and why he considers the non-renewal of the company's exploration licence to amount to expropriation by default. He also discusses the challenges of securing and maintaining a social licence within the local community. This week's Spotlight features Tim Crossley, managing director of Adyton Resources, who discusses the company's three gold projects in Papua New Guinea, including its flagship Feni Island gold-copper project.

Dr. Julia Constance is back on Beyond Jaws, and this time she's joining hosts Andrew Lewin and Dr. David Ebert as Dr. Constance. Julia returns fresh off completing her PhD on the natural mortality and movement ecology of two of the world's least understood sharks: the speartooth shark and the northern river shark, both found almost nowhere outside northern Australia and southern Papua New Guinea. Using a long-running acoustic telemetry dataset built by her supervisor since 2013, Julia tracked around 200 tagged sharks across Northern Territory river systems, some for up to a decade, to understand how these animals move, where they go, and what puts them at risk. The conversation digs into just how little is still known about these sharks once they leave the rivers as adults. Julia explains how individuals vanish from the tracking data for years at a time before reappearing at a river mouth, with almost no confirmed sightings of adults in the open marine environment. She and the hosts also compare the relatively stable status of Australia's river sharks to their close relative, the Ganges shark, a species so rare and poorly documented that even basic facts about its biology are borrowed from research on its Australian cousins. Along the way, Julia and Andrew share what it's actually like to do this fieldwork: murky, chocolate colored water, gear retrieval by feel instead of by sight, and working in rivers that hold the largest population of saltwater crocodiles on the planet. The episode also touches on a real and growing concern: proposed water resource development on the Adelaide River, home to the largest known population of speartooth sharks anywhere in the world, and what that could mean for a species already living in an extremely narrow habitat.

What happens when a feeling we assume is a universal human experience is actually shaped, defined, and even created by our specific cultural language and material conditions? Macquarie University's Future Fellow at the School of Humanities, Dr. Katie Barclay, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the overlooked complexities of a deeply human emotion. Dr. Barclay explores the history and cultural variety of this feeling in her book, Loneliness in World History. They examine how loneliness is frequently not just an internal psychological state, but rather a reflection of our relationships with our environment, our community, and the specific language we use to make sense of our world. In this conversation they explore: How the "language trap" challenges our ability to compare emotions across cultures, and why translating words for love and loneliness requires understanding their thick cultural context. The surprising nighttime weeping rituals of the Kaluli people in Papua New Guinea, where singing about loneliness serves as a cathartic communal release of pain. Why the historical narrative of human "modernization"—moving from supposedly primitive communal selves to modern individualized subjects—carries deeply colonial and problematic assumptions. The physiological elements of isolation, including "touch hunger" and how the modern internet trend of Mukbang satiates the deep-seated desire to eat alongside a community. How physical places and material architecture—from fairy-tale forests to utopian high-rise flats and car-centric suburbs—actively teach us to feel isolated and shape our emotional experiences. The paradox of the "lonely genius," revealing how the supposedly solitary pursuit of art and creativity is fundamentally dependent on an unseen network of community support and labor. This is a conversation for anyone interested in world history, anthropology, and the humanities who wants to understand the cultural weight behind our everyday emotions and how we can navigate our increasingly isolated, digital modern age.

What if the thing you've been chasing isn't actually what you're looking for? Many entrepreneurs build successful businesses or hit major milestones, but they still feel disconnected, burned out, or unsatisfied. The challenge isn't a lack of achievement. It's a lack of alignment. Mike Brcic is a serial entrepreneur, global adventurer, and founder of Wayfinders, a company that helps entrepreneurs build more connected and fulfilling lives through immersive experiences in some of the world's most remote destinations. After building and selling businesses of his own, Mike discovered that success without connection often leaves people feeling empty. Today, he helps founders explore a different path. In this episode, Mike breaks down why community, adventure, and honest self-reflection may be the missing pieces many entrepreneurs are searching for and how you can begin finding them for yourself. When Success Stops Feeling Successful After more than two decades building an adventure travel business, Mike found himself trapped in a cycle familiar to many entrepreneurs: relentless growth, mounting pressure, and diminishing joy. As revenue increased, so did complexity, stress, and burnout. What started as a lifestyle business built around passion slowly became something that no longer felt aligned. Mike shares the remarkable story of nearly losing everything before a last-minute acquisition changed the course of his entrepreneurial journey. The experience forced him to confront a difficult question: What was all that growth actually for? His answer led to the creation of Wayfinders. The Power of Connection, Clarity, and Community Wayfinders takes entrepreneurs far beyond traditional networking events. Through immersive adventures in places like Mongolia, Patagonia, Greenland, and Papua New Guinea, participants step outside their normal environments and create space for deeper reflection. Mike explains why entrepreneurs often struggle with loneliness and why meaningful community is essential for emotional resilience, better decision-making, and sustainable leadership. He also shares the concept of alignment: bringing your external life into harmony with your deepest values, desires, and sense of purpose. Through intentional conversations, solitude in nature, and supportive community, participants gain clarity about what truly matters and what changes they need to make moving forward. The result isn't simply a memorable trip. It's a chance to reconnect with yourself. Enjoy this episode with Mike Brcic… Soundbytes 15:14–15:45 "For me, alignment is this idea of your outer experience matching your inner experience. And so, on the inside, for lack of a better word, we have this thing called a soul. And soul, to me, is this really true aspect of myself, this really true core of who I am at the center of my being, and layered on top of that is years and decades of people layering messages on top of that about who we should be, how we should be, what we should be, why we should be — all these kind of things." 23:43–24:12 "I'm trying and I'm hoping that I can get them to take seriously this idea of having a dialogue with one's inner world, with one's soul, and that that's a useful thing to do. And also this understanding that, you know, there's a journey to be had in this life, this journey towards self-actualization, towards individuation, to becoming a whole person, to becoming more yourself. And eventually casting off these shackles of who you're supposed to be." Quotes "Adding more zeros to your balance sheet is ultimately not going to get you what you're searching for." "Life will force you to answer those questions eventually." "I'm trying to help people stop bullshitting themselves." "The soul doesn't deal in logic. The soul wants what the soul wants." "There's a journey toward becoming more yourself." "What I do isn't really about travel. Travel is simply the delivery mechanism."

Have you ever started something with the best intentions, only to run out of steam? In this message, Pastor Dan Edmondson digs into 2 Thessalonians 3:13, where the apostle Paul gives a short but powerful charge to the church: "Do not grow weary in doing good." Drawing from personal stories of missionary work in Sierra Leone and his son's journey through Papua New Guinea and rural Mexico, Pastor Dan identifies four real obstacles that cause people to give up: disappointment, lack of planning, lack of vision, and lack of faith. He closes with a simple, unforgettable challenge involving a napkin and a Sharpie.Whether you're burned out from helping people who don't seem to change, unsure if your vision is big enough to matter, or quietly wondering if God is even paying attention, this message speaks directly to where you are.

The sermon presents love as a transformative and powerful spiritual weapon in the Christian's warfare, rooted in Jesus' teachings to love enemies, bless those who curse, and pray for persecutors, as exemplified in the story of a former headhunter who, after being challenged to pray for his enemies, not only repented but later became a key leader in his village's conversion. Through vivid personal testimonies—from healing wounded enemies in Papua New Guinea to the miraculous transformation of a hardened soldier through a simple act of love—the message underscores that love, when lived out sacrificially and consistently, breaks down barriers, disarms hostility, and creates irresistible witness, demonstrating that true Christianity is not defined by doctrine alone but by relational obedience. The sermon calls believers to actively practice love in daily life, especially toward those who have wronged them, using practical, tangible acts of kindness to build bridges, foster reconciliation, and invite others into the Christian community, ultimately fulfilling Jesus' command that 'by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples.'

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Matt and Doug discuss a reported US–Iran peace deal whose MOU hasn't been released, doubting it will last due to Israel–Iran hostility and Israeli opposition, while arguing the US bombing of Iran was unnecessary and that the deal looks like a US surrender with potential reparations (estimated $300B) and possible UAE/private funding plus future service fees after 60 days. They then focus on provisions in the NDAA (Section 219) and an Intelligence Authorization Act measure (Sen. Tom Cotton) that would fuse US–Israel military and intelligence programs, outlining six harms: inability to stop unwanted wars, technology leakage (AI/quantum) possibly to China, US contractors losing business, Gaza-tested AI targeting tools entering US systems, Israeli espionage risks, and irreversible entanglement by FY2027. The conversation also covers Trump's credibility, government involvement in AI companies and energy-hungry data centers, China's open-source AI stance, IMF conditional lending in Papua New Guinea, rising authoritarian security policies in Peru, and broader fears of global conflict. 00:00 Iran US Peace Deal 01:08 Why Bomb Iran 02:31 Israel Leverage Theories 04:21 China Oil Shock Absorber 06:58 Trump Character Spin 10:02 Reparations And Tolls 11:18 Israel Lebanon Sticking Point 12:21 Israel As 51st State 14:59 Six Ways It Hurts 21:36 USS Liberty And AIPAC 24:32 AI Data Centers Bubble 28:24 AI As Strategic Weapon 33:42 World War Three Thesis 36:31 IMF In Papua New Guinea 39:48 Peru Fujimori Crackdown 43:47 Authoritarian Trend Fears 45:44 Hopeful Wrap And Outlook

Topics Discussed Teri's salvation testimony and early desire to know God through His Word How missions trips shaped her view of the world and burden for others Her heart for orphans and how nursing became part of that calling Lessons learned through medical ministry in Ghana How God used an injury in Papua New Guinea to confirm His direction The sufficiency of God's grace in moments of weakness The danger of worldly voices crowding out God's Word Why young ladies must make clear decisions to follow God's will The difference between an easy life and a fulfilling life Key Takeaways God's will is not always easy, but it is always fulfilling. Weakness does not disqualify you from usefulness; it may be the very place where God shows His strength. God often uses trials to clarify His direction in your life. Young people must intentionally silence competing voices if they want to hear God clearly. Time in God's Word transforms your desires, decisions, and direction. The world is not neutral, so passive Christianity is not safe Christianity. God wants to use surrendered young people in ways far bigger than they realize.

Two stories from people who found themselves in situations they didn't choose and had to figure out what to do from inside them. Guest-hosted by the captivating Cyndi Freeman. (Content note: references to torture) Sofia Javed is a Pakistani-American interpreter hired to work in Uzbek and Russian at Guantanamo Bay, where she is ordered not to sympathize with detainees and then immediately put to the test. What starts as a potential crisis in a cellblock turns on a single, surprisingly mundane demand. (Content note: physical abuse, domestic violence) Heather Minter grew up in an evangelical fundamentalist family that uprooted itself for the mission field in Papua New Guinea, leaving her and her brother in a boarding school dorm run by a cruel and volatile house father. The faith that held her together through childhood eventually came apart in college, and what filled the void turned out to be its own kind of trap.
