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.

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.

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.

Es ist wie eine Szene aus einem Film: Zwei Mädchen aus Malchow steigen in den 80er Jahren in den Zug nach Plauen im Vogtland, um da ihr Studium zu beginnen. Bepackt bis oben hin, Koffer, Taschen und: ein selbstgebautes Tandem. Und als wäre das noch nicht genug, sehen die beiden auch noch exakt gleich aus, sind gleich gekleidet, gleiche Frisur, denn: sie sind Zwillinge. Das ist aber keine Geschichte, die sich jemand ausgedacht hat, das ist eine Szene aus dem Leben von Wiebke und Agnes Bruhn aus Malchow. Die beiden haben im Teppichwerk in Malchow gelernt und dann in Plauen Textildesign studiert. Wie es die Teppiche von Wiebke und Agnes Bruhn zu DDR-Zeiten durch die Mauer bis nach Hannover geschafft haben, warum ein Museum ihnen zu den schönsten Jahren ihres Berufslebens verholfen hat und was die beiden heute machen, das haben sie Reporter Thomas Lenz für unsere Klönkist erzählt.

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.

The current episode elucidates the profound bifurcation within the furniture industry as revealed by the first quarter earnings of 2026. Notably, the disparities between companies that are thriving and those that are faltering have become increasingly pronounced, underscoring the significance of strategic positioning and preemptive decision-making. As we navigate through the data, we observe that successful entities, such as Havertys and Bob's Discount Furniture, are not merely fortunate; their advancements stem from deliberate enhancements in service and product offerings that cater to discerning consumers. Conversely, companies like Lyons Furniture Group illustrate the adverse consequences of failing to adapt to the evolving market dynamics. This discourse extends to the broader manufacturing landscape, where vertical integration emerges as a vital strategy amidst ongoing economic pressures, thereby highlighting the imperative for companies to cultivate resilience and foresight in their operational frameworks. The episode provides an incisive exploration of the furniture industry's current landscape, particularly in the wake of the first quarter earnings for 2026. The narrative unfolds with a focus on the diverse trajectories of various companies, emphasizing that the performance gap has become increasingly pronounced. On one hand, we observe Havertys, which has achieved consecutive quarters of sales growth, bolstered by a strategic emphasis on high-value transactions facilitated through their design program. The contrast is stark with Lyons Furniture Group, which has reported a decline in sales, underscoring the challenges faced by traditional retail models in an environment where consumer behavior is evolving rapidly. This juxtaposition not only highlights the necessity for strategic foresight but also illustrates the critical role that operational adaptability plays in ensuring sustainability in today's market. The discussion further delves into the mattress sector, where the dichotomy between vertically integrated companies and traditional manufacturers becomes apparent. Somni Group International's remarkable financial rebound stands in stark contrast to Leggett and Platt's declining sales, providing a compelling case study on the advantages of vertical integration in mitigating the risks associated with market volatility. The analysis raises pertinent questions regarding the viability of traditional supply chain models in the face of rising costs and shifting consumer expectations, urging industry players to reevaluate their operational strategies. In addition to financial performance, the episode touches upon the implications of strategic partnerships within the industry, particularly the alliance between Palliser Furniture and Moto Motion. This partnership is indicative of a broader trend towards strengthening supply chain resilience amidst tariff pressures and global competition. The insights gleaned from this collaboration underscore the importance of strategic positioning and market integration as companies strive to navigate the complexities of the modern economic landscape. As we conclude, it becomes evident that the path to success in the furniture industry lies in a deep understanding of market dynamics, customer preferences, and the willingness to innovate in response to ongoing challenges.Takeaways:The first quarter of 2026 has revealed a stark divergence between companies gaining market share and those losing it, underscoring the importance of strategic decision-making prior to this period.Havertys' success is attributed to its robust service and design infrastructure, which has allowed it to convert higher value transactions despite a decline in foot traffic.Conversely, Lyons Furniture Group's decline in sales highlights the detrimental impact of macroeconomic factors and poor strategic positioning within the competitive landscape.The mattress sector is witnessing a bifurcation, where vertically integrated companies like Somni Group are thriving, while standalone operators confront significant structural challenges.HNI Corporation's acquisition of Steelcase has led to a substantial increase in revenue, albeit accompanied by significant integration costs and a reported net loss for the quarter.The retail outlook heading into Memorial Day indicates an increase in consumer intent to shop; however, this comes with a notable reduction in planned expenditure per purchase.

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.
