While the Northern Expedition dies in the freezing mud of Shandong, the Taiping's second strike — the Western Expedition — turns its sights on the provinces they've already ridden through on the Yangtze, a kingdom to go with their new Heavenly Capital. But waiting for them in Hunan is a man unable to ride a horse, or command an army... who will nevertheless set about constructing their ultimate doom.Time Period Covered:May 1853 – February 1854 CE Major Historical Figures:Taiping Heavenly Kingdom:Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly King [1814–1864]Hu Yiguang, commander of the Anhui column, Western ExpeditionLai Hanying, commander of the Jiangxi column, Western ExpeditionShi Dakai, the Wing King [1831–1863]Li Xiucheng, future Loyal King [c. 1823–1864]Qing Dynasty:The Xianfeng Emperor (Aisin-Gioro Yinzhu) [r. 1850–1861]Jiang Zhongyuan, governor of Anhui [1812–1854]Zeng Guofan, founder of the Xiang Army [1811–1872]Tang Jian, Neo-Confucian scholar and Zeng Guofan's mentor [1778–1861] Major Sources Cited:Michael, Franz, and Chang Chung-li.

There’s a question that lives in the back of the mind of nearly every parent raising a child with special needs. It doesn’t announce itself — it just sits there, quiet and heavy. What happens to my child when I am no longer here? For a long time, that question had no good answer. Families navigated a maze of government benefits, legal documents, and financial systems — often alone, guided by well-meaning professionals who didn’t have the depth of specialization this work demands. In 2005, a financial planner from Charlotte decided that wasn’t good enough. Ryan F. Platt founded A Special Needs Plan with one mission: to serve families living with that fear and replace it with clarity, structure, and a road map forward. Today, the firm is an elite, nationally recognized practice serving families across the country. Ryan holds credentials most financial advisors have never heard of — including the Chartered Special Needs Consultant designation — because he believes this community deserves a true specialist. He’s a former president of The Arc of North Carolina, a speaker at national conferences, a published author, and a champion for families who have spent too long facing the impossible alone. Ryan, welcome to The BrandBuilders Podcast.

The Taiping Army commits to one of its most audacious acts yet – an assault on the Qing throne itself, a thousand miles north in Beijing. To reach it, it will launch its great Northern Campaign: a single spear-throw that, if its aim holds true, might end the entire war before the teeth of winter bite down.Time Period Covered:May 1853 – March 1855 CE Major Historical Figures: Taiping Heavenly Kingdom:Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly King [1814–1864]Lin Fengxiang, co-commander of the Northern Expedition [d. 1855]Li Kaifang, co-commander of the Northern Expedition [d. 1855]Li Xiucheng, future Loyal King [c. 1823–1864] Qing Dynasty:The Xianfeng Emperor (Aisin-Gioro Yinzhu) [r. 1850–1861]Prince Senggelinqin [c. 1811–1865]Other:Theodore Hamberg, Swedish missionary, Hong Kong; author of the first European account of the Taiping [1819–1854] Major Sources Cited:Hamberg, Theodore.

In this episode of 5 Fresh Tips, Ron Platt of the National Association for Single and Divorced Families (NASDF) shares an expert roadmap for anyone preparing to navigate divorce. As an industry connector, strategist, and fresh starts expert, Ron specializes in helping families build a stronger foundation before, during, and after separation. He approaches divorce recovery not as a single legal event but as a coordinated process spanning legal, emotional, financial, and practical decisions—making his guidance especially valuable for parents seeking divorce preparation tips and co-parenting strategies that protect both their families and their futures.Ron walks listeners through five actionable strategies that together form a practical divorce preparation checklist. First, he makes the case for mediation as an effective, lower-cost alternative to litigation, noting that trained mediators can guide even high-conflict, strained conversations toward workable resolutions. Second, he emphasizes mental health and emotional resilience, reminding parents and children alike to build a support system and a safe space to process and heal. Third, he tackles career services, offering single parenting advice for at-home parents re-entering the workforce and explaining how a professional can reframe resume gaps around real skills and experience. Fourth, he highlights financial planning, urging families to consult a financial professional before finalizing a settlement so that future costs—college, housing, transportation—are accounted for in advance. Finally, he covers real estate, recommending realtors with a CDRE (Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert) certification and the market expertise to price and sell the family home fairly.The throughline across all five tips is that smart preparation creates confidence when starting over after divorce. Rather than reacting to each crisis as it arrives, Ron encourages listeners to assemble the right team of experts early—mediators, mental health providers, career coaches, financial planners, and divorce-savvy realtors—so they can move forward with clarity and stability. Listeners will come away with a concrete framework for protecting their finances, supporting their children, and rebuilding their careers and homes. Whether you're just beginning the process or actively pursuing fresh starts after divorce, this episode delivers expert-led, practical tools to help you and your family step into the next chapter with resilience.

The Heavenly Host arrives at last before the walls of the South Capital. What follows is not a battle so much as a verdict – rendered in powder, fire, and seven days of smoke and blood. A city is taken, renamed, and remade in the image of a kingdom the likes of which the world has never seen before. This is the story of the Becoming that finally arrived; of the current that finally found its place to pool... and what it cost to stop.

David Platt addresses how believers can share the gospel naturally in everyday circumstances. Prioritizing questions applicable to broad audiences, Platt focuses on equipping Christians to proclaim the gospel with both compassion and boldness. The goal of gospel sharing is not merely personal conversion moments but fruit that extends to people's spheres of influence, airplane conversations, and gospel witness that bears fruit for decades. Commit to speaking the gospel with both greater compassion for the lost and greater boldness in your everyday conversations. Scripture: Matthew 4:19; Matthew 28 Topics: Gospel witness, Evangelism, Discipleship, Boldness, Compassion

The current landscape of the home furnishings industry has become increasingly precarious, as recent developments in trade policy have introduced a series of complex challenges that demand our immediate attention. A new customs crackdown, alongside a sweeping tariff proposal impacting sixty nations, has significantly elevated the stakes for businesses reliant on a global supply chain. Furthermore, the multitude of billions in refund claims now ensnared in legal uncertainty adds another layer of unpredictability to an already tumultuous financial environment. As we delve into the implications of these changes, it becomes evident that the principles of sourcing, pricing, and margin discipline are poised to be rigorously tested once more. We must approach the coming weeks with a proactive mindset, leveraging the opportunity for engagement during the public comment period on tariffs to advocate for our interests and to navigate through these turbulent times with strategic foresight.Takeaways:The recent proposal for new tariffs from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative poses significant challenges for the home furnishings industry, potentially raising costs across numerous product categories.A multitude of new regulations and compliance requirements are expected to increase scrutiny on import practices and could lead to delays and additional expenses for retailers.Macy's recent performance indicates a shift in consumer behavior, where rising prices have led to a noticeable decline in demand for mid-tier furniture products, necessitating strategic adjustments by retailers.The acquisition of Leggett and Platt by Somni Group signals a consolidation in the bedding supply chain, which may affect component availability and pricing in the near future.The ongoing legal disputes regarding tariff refunds highlight the unpredictable financial environment for importers, complicating their planning processes amidst changing regulations.As the market evolves, retailers must adapt to a K-shaped economic recovery, focusing on cost management and diverse financing options to better serve value-sensitive consumers.

Episode 421: On July 28, 1996, a fisherman hauling nets off the coast of Devon, England pulled up a body. The dead man had no wallet, no identification — nothing but a Rolex watch still ticking on his wrist. When British police traced the watch, it gave them a name: Ronald Joseph Platt, 51, of Essex. When they went looking for him, they found him — apparently alive. The trail led back across the Atlantic to Ayr, a small town in southwestern Ontario, where roughly seventy people had spent years trusting the wrong man with everything they had. By the time anyone understood what he'd done, he was already gone, and Ronald Platt was dead in the English Channel.

Aus einem der schönsten Orte in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern melden sich diesmal unsere Plappermoellers Susanne Bliemel und Christian Peplow. Auf Einladung des Nationalparkzentrums Königsstuhl auf Rügen waren Moderatoren und Crew dort zu Gast, wo schon Caspar David Friedrich die Schönheit der Kreidefelsen auf Leinwand bannte. Heute kommen bis zu eine Million Besucher pro Jahr und die Einheimischen, die haben gute Geschichten zu bieten: etwa davon, wie Fischer aus Sassnitz in einer norwegischen Stadt für einen Pfeffer-Notstand sorgten, oder davon, dass die Nachkriegswurst auf der Insel verdächtig nach Dorsch geschmeckt hat. Auch davon, wie die Suche nach umweltzerstörenden Geisternetzen hier ihren Ursprung nahm und die Methode mittlerweile auch am Mittelmeer angewandt wird, berichten die Gäste am Moehlendisch. Dazu gibt es im Nationalparkzentrum nun auch eine Führung auf Platt, mit dem "Schnackerapparat"“, geprüft von einheimischen Plattsprechern und: für gut befunden. Es plaudern: Ingrid Zachau, Dieter Holtz, Hannes Prestin und Jochen Lamp und wunderbare Musik kommt von "Meyering un Waterstradt" - Platt von der Nordsee, dazu Mandoline und Kontrabass, das ergibt Lieder, die ins Ohr und dann direkt ins Herz gehen.

When it comes to characters, Bangkok has them in droves - people who have been places, eaten things, talked to people, and lived adventures that would make your mother put her hand to her mouth and proclaim, "Oh my" with a frightened little squeak. On this episode of the Bangkok Podcast we're happy to have one of these epic characters on the show with us - Mr Alan Platt, who, as it happens, has just released a book about his adventures entitled Foreign Fool. Now I know what you're thinking, and it's the same thing we think when we hear self-published book by a farang in Bangkok, and that is, "Oh, yes, another one for the dusty back section of Asia Books, along with all the stories about hard-boiled detectives, heart-of-gold prostitutes, and love gone bad." But no - that's not what this book is about at all. In fact, take it from me (Greg), who has read the book - this is one hell of a fun read, and is actually - get this - really well written. From Saigon to Bangkok to Panama to London to Honolulu, Foreign Fool tells of, as Alan puts it, the bumbling misadventures of a doofus. I'll just let the first two paragraphs of the first chapter say it themselves: In Saigon, many years after the war was over, long after the city was declared safe for tourists and when even the hookers were becoming almost discreet, I was kidnapped. That does sound a bit dramatic, I admit. Technically, it was more an abduction. But however one puts it, any mention of that sort of thing floods the mind with images of some poor guy being jumped by thugs, bundled into the trunk of a car and splattered across the tabloids with a screech of tires and the burning of rubber. None of that happened to me. I was kidnapped on a bicycle. Alan discusses how he went from sunning his broke ass on a Los Angeles beach to the top of the New York ad world, how the book took shape, and a few of the stories - both in the book and not - that keep him looking ahead to the next trip. Buy Foreign Fool on Amazon.

This interview is with John Platt of Helvetia Winery. In this interview, John talks about moving off a houseboat to Helvetia, planting grapes, and expanding his business into a winery.John shares about moving to the Helvetia area after a piece of land came up for sale and meeting with an extension agent to determine what kinds of crops he should plant. Among the list was grapes, which John and his wife Elizabeth planted with the intention of selling fruit to home winemakers.John talks about his other work during that time, including legal work with Pacific Northwest Native American tribes and their fishing rights, as well as Elizabeth's work in politics including a 6-year term in Congress. As they began planting the vineyard and building the winery, they were flying back and forth to DC for her career.Later in the interview, John discusses how he went about deciding what to plant, collaboration with many in the industry, and learning to farm grapes by “looking it up” and “making mistakes.” Within 20 years of planting the vineyard, he had purchased additional land to build a winery and host guests at the house-turned-tasting room. While he sees lots of challenges facing the industry in the future, he's also optimistic that the industry will continue on for years to come.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Helvetia Winery in Hillsboro on April 6, 2026.

The army that marches north out of Quanzhou in June 1852 is not the same one that left Jintian 18 months prior. It has left its prime architect in an unmarked grave, massacred the city that killed him, and crossed into the unknown territory of Hunan. At Daozhou, for the first time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom starts speaking to Empire at large, calls upon brotherhood to honor their blood-oaths, & dares name the emperor himself a demon. It's beginning to get real, and all roads - it seems - lead toward Changsha...

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been proclaimed — but proclamations don't feed armies. As such, its Divine Host will enjoy all of 11 days before sheer arithmetic forces them back onto the road. What follows is eight months of movement through the hills and river valleys of Guangxi: not quite a military campaign, not quite a refugee march. When they finally stop, it will be inside the walls of a city called Yong'an - "Eternal Peace." There, for the first time, the blueprint of the kingdom they have been promising can at last be seen in outline. Kings will be named, & time itself will be reordered... But the walls keep closing in, and ahead - always ahead - is the only path left.

Amidst the ashes of the Opium War, a new flame is beginning to kindle – not in the halls of power, but in the distant, forgotten hills and mountains. While the would-be prophet Hong Xiuquan returns home, his closest friend vanishes into the wilds of Guangxi – a world of ethnic tensions, criminal brotherhoods, pirates-turned-river-bandits… and a government far too distant and preoccupied to care. What Feng Yunshan finds there, and what he builds among its dispossessed and desperate Hakka denizens, will become the backbone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: the God Worshipping Society.
