Fr. Francisco Nahoe, OFM Conv. has served the Church and the Franciscan Order in Catholic education, campus ministry, parochial ministry and catechesis. He is a chaplain at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California and focuses his scholarly efforts on Renaissance rhetoric and Polynesian ethnohistory. In Today's Show: Why is God going to kill Moses according to Exodus 4:24-26? Recovering scattered ashes of a cremated family member for proper burial Can we offer Holy Communion for the conversion and salvation of a friend? There are no traditional Latin Masses in my diocese anymore. Without going into too much detail, the only nearby parish uses inclusive language, lay preaching, and abuses the liturgy regularly. Am I still obligated to attend Mass there on Sundays, or would it be spiritually harmful (even potentially scandalous) to do so? How many prayers are required to free someone from purgatory? Also, does sprinkling holy water on the ground release them according to popular belief? Canon 1250 says Fridays are penitential days, and 1251 says abstinence (not penance) is dispensed on a solemnity. So, tomorrow it's legally permissible to eat meat, but is some penance still required? When we pray the rosary and dedicate a mystery to someone, how are we to focus our intention; solely on the mystery? Are we straying if we focus too much on the person we are praying for? Might Father have recommendations or advice on how to study, particularly the writings of St. Thomas and things regarding the faith and philosophy? What's your view on proper dress at Mass? Our parish is very casual, but I've heard modesty is especially important in traditional circles. And, what would be considered proper dress? (FUNNY STORY!)

The Trump administration announced this past week that it has entered talks with the Cook Islands to research and develop seabed mineral resources. The Polynesian archipelago is one of only a handful of countries worldwide that has begun permitting this type of exploration, called deep-sea mining. Deep-sea mining is not regulated. There's no blueprint for how to do it safely, or responsibly. Which is why, for the last decade, the UN's International Seabed Authority has worked to draw up regulations. But President Trump — and one Canadian company — have posed a question: Why wait?

The Kon-Tiki expedition, led by Norwegian explorer and ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl, reached Raroia in the Tuamotu Archipelag near Tahiti, on 7th August, 1947. The 45-foot-long balsa wood raft, with a five-man crew, had completed a 4,300-mile, 101-day journey from Peru.  Heyerdahl wanted to prove his (now discredited) theory that prehistoric South Americans could have colonized the Polynesian islands by drifting on ocean currents. The Kon-Tiki was made of indigenous materials and designed to resemble rafts of early South American Indians, although the expedition carried some modern equipment, such as a radio, watches, charts, sextant, and metal knives. While crossing the Pacific, the sailors encountered storms, sharks and whales. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why Heyerdahl's hypothesis of a South American origin of the Polynesian peoples is rejected today; marvel at his bold use of eye-catching graphic design; and expose how the crew's food rations weren't all that they seemed… Further Reading: • ‘New proof for Kon-Tiki theory' (The Guardian, 1953): https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2018/may/18/new-kon-tiki-proof-expedition-archive-1953 • ‘How the Voyage of the Kon-Tiki Misled the World About Navigating the Pacific' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2014): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-voyage-kon-tiki-misled-world-about-navigating-pacific-180952478/ • ‘KonTiki (short)' (The Kon-Tiki Museum, 1951):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFcW-dCvO2A This episode first aired in 2021 Love the show?

He's known for his metamorphosis, carving out credits in a mixture of major franchises and more personal productions, and his latest project feels like a blend of both. Curtis is starring in Jason Momoa's ‘Chief of War', which tells a tale of the turn of the 18th century, when the four kingdoms of Hawai'i were at war. He told Jack Tame he's very proud and humbled to be a part of this production. “As a storyteller in the screen industry for the last three decades at least, we've managed to tell a variation of stories from our small corner of the world,” Curtis said. “But you know, this series, when led by the likes of Jason Momoa and his co-creator Thomas Pa‘a Sibbett, they can bring scale to the narrative.” “It's a big deal for us.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk a lot about racism in America, but what we're really contending with today isn't just race—it's culture. It's not about the color of your skin, but the code you speak. Not the blood in your veins, but the dialect on your tongue. It's not whiteness that gets punished—it's acting white. It's not blackness that's rejected—it's betraying the culture. This is not racism. This is cultural apartheid.I learned this growing up in Hawaii, where being a haole (white) wasn't the problem—it was acting haole that got you smacked down. The local Asian and Polynesian kids who studied hard, dressed preppy, or spoke standard English weren't accepted. They were called Twinkies (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) or bananas. Brown kids were accused of acting white. It's the same logic that calls Clarence Thomas the “Black face of white supremacy.” The attack isn't about biology—it's about betrayal.My mother knew the code. She drilled it into me. Inside the house, I was to speak proper Manhattanite English—“NPR English,” she called it. She filled my mind with Sagan, Picasso, PBS, poetry, National Geographic. But when I stepped out the door, she expected me to speak local. Slippah talk. Braddah slang. "What, you? Stink eye, eh?" That kind of thing. Code-switching wasn't optional. It was survival.And here's the thing: the people who don't or won't code-switch—who plant their feet and refuse—get culturally ghettoized. Not racially. Culturally. And then they're told this isolation is empowerment. That rejecting the norms of so-called whiteness is resistance. But what it really is? It's opt-in apartheid. It's self-segregation dressed up as identity.This isn't just about dialect or diction. It's deeper. It's about creating pride around disconnection. It's about rejecting opportunity because opportunity looks like assimilation. It's about mocking Black excellence if it “sounds white.” It's about labeling those who succeed outside the culture as sellouts. It's a trap—and it's being sold as virtue.What's happening isn't that different from what eugenicists once tried to do through force—except now it's happening through cultural manipulation. Back then, they sterilized. Now, they convince you to sterilize yourself. Back then, they built ghettos. Now, they convince you to build your own. Back then, they burned bridges. Now, you're told burning bridges is bravery.You want to know the wildest part? Even among white people, there's a caste. I had a guy on Mastodon—a literal white supremacist—tell me I wasn't really white. I'm Irish and Hungarian. That makes me untermench to him. Not Anglo. Not Aryan enough. Catholic, no less. Garbage blood. Slavic trash. So when you talk about whiteness, understand even the racists have tiers.The people who think they're resisting white supremacy by rejecting standard norms are actually reinforcing a deeper, more sinister system—a system that wants you contained, controlled, and culled. It wants you to choose self-limitation and then call it identity. It wants you to abandon the tools of success, then blame “the system” for failure. It wants you broke, isolated, and dependent—and convinced that's freedom.We need to call this what it is: cultural apartheid. Not class apartheid. Not even racial apartheid. Cultural. You're judged not by your skin, but by your syntax. Your style. Your self-presentation. You're either in the house, or you're in the yard. And the tragedy? A lot of people are choosing the yard and calling it liberation.So no, this isn't about “acting white.” It's about refusing to play the game that keeps you small. It's about seeing code-switching not as betrayal, but as strategy. It's about refusing to be a mule who plants their feet in defiance while the world moves on.Speak every language you can. Walk in every world you can. Don't let anyone shame you into staying small. The deck is open. The cockpit has a seat. Don't chain yourself to the hold and call it pride.

What makes a Disney resort truly magical? Is it the proximity to the parks, the dining options, the pool, or that indescribable feeling you get when you first walk into the lobby? After staying at 13 different Disney resorts across both coasts, we're finally ready to rank them all—and some of our placements might surprise you!From the Dolphin's lack of Disney theming to the Grand Floridian's perhaps too-bougie atmosphere, we deep dive into what worked (and what didn't) at each property. Even more surprising? The prestigious Grand Floridian only makes it to the middle of our rankings, while value resort All-Star Movies cracks the top 10 with its immersive Toy Story theming.As we count down to our top five, we explore what truly creates that magical "we're here" feeling. The Yacht Club dazzles with Stormalong Bay and EPCOT proximity, the Grand Californian offers direct park access with a serene atmosphere, and the Polynesian delivers island vibes with spectacular fireworks views. Wilderness Lodge nearly takes the crown with its breathtaking lobby and peaceful seclusion despite being moments from Magic Kingdom.But there's one resort that unanimously claimed our #1 spot. Animal Kingdom Lodge transports guests completely to an African safari lodge, with savanna views, cultural immersion, and a fully realized theme unlike anything else at Walt Disney World. From waking up to giraffes outside your balcony to exploring the extensive collection of African art in the lobby, it creates an experience impossible to replicate anywhere else on property.Whether you're planning your first Disney trip or your twentieth, join us as we break down the pros and cons of each resort we've experienced.

From “one of America's smartest and most charming writers” (NPR), an archaeological romp through the entire history of humankind—and through all five senses—from tropical Polynesian islands to forbidding arctic ice floes, and everywhere in between.Whether it's the mighty pyramids of Egypt or the majestic temples of Mexico, we have a good idea of what the past looked like. But what about our other senses: The tang of Roman fish sauce and the springy crust of Egyptian sourdough? The boom of medieval cannons and the clash of Viking swords? The frenzied plays of an Aztec ballgame…and the chilling reality that the losers might also lose their lives? History often neglects the tastes, textures, sounds, and smells that were an intimate part of our ancestors' lives, but a new generation of researchers is resurrecting those hidden details, pioneering an exciting new discipline called experimental archaeology. These are scientists gone rogue: They make human mummies. They investigate the unsolved murders of ancient bog bodies. They carve primitive spears and go hunting, then knap their own obsidian blades to skin the game. They build perilous boats and plunge out onto the open sea—all in the name of experiencing history as it was, with all its dangers, disappointments, and unexpected delights. Beloved author Sam Kean joins these experimental archaeologists on their adventures across the globe, from the Andes to the South Seas. He fires medieval catapults, tries his hand at ancient surgery and tattooing, builds Roman-style roads—and, in novelistic interludes, spins gripping tales about the lives of our ancestors with vivid imagination and his signature meticulous research. Lively, offbeat, and filled with stunning revelations about our past, Dinner with King Tut sheds light on days long gone and the intrepid experts resurrecting them today, with startling, lifelike detail and more than a few laughs along the way.Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://brandyschillace.com/peculiar/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://eepurl.com/ixJJ2Y⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PeculiarBookClub/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streams⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peculiarbookclub.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thepeculiarbookclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Send us a textEver wonder what drives someone to build bridges between communities an ocean apart? Meet Blake Soifua, a young entrepreneur whose window washing business in Utah is funding sustainable development across the Pacific Islands.Blake's journey is rooted in personal transformation. Growing up disconnected from his Samoan heritage in a predominantly white community, he was often labeled "plastic" - not authentically Polynesian. After a brief mission in Fiji cut short by COVID-19, Blake developed a burning desire to reconnect with Pacific Island cultures, learning multiple languages and building meaningful relationships across cultural divides.What began as a simple desire to sponsor a temple trip for villagers in Fiji evolved into Projects Possible, a non-profit with an innovative funding model. By dedicating 10% of revenue from his window washing business Gleam, Blake ensures his organization isn't dependent on donations alone. His vision? Creating sustainable farms across Pacific Islands that produce thousands of meals annually while generating jobs through agritourism.The technical aspects are equally impressive. Blake is developing software for transparent donation tracking and building a global marketplace platform connecting island producers directly with worldwide consumers. His upcoming pickleball tournament fundraiser in August aims to jumpstart the initiative, with plans to establish the first nurseries in Fiji by November.Throughout our conversation, Blake shares profound insights about authentic leadership, overcoming the "crab mentality" that can hold communities back, and embracing an abundance mindset where everyone's success contributes to collective advancement. His story demonstrates how entrepreneurship becomes transformative when driven by genuine purpose rather than profit alone.Ready to see what's possible when business meets social impact?

The Surfer’s Journal presents Soundings with Jamie Brisick

Born in Honolulu in 1951, Tom Pohaku Stone made a name for himself at Pipeline in the early 1970s as a stylish goofyfooter. Around that time, he was imprisoned after a drug bust. While incarcerated, he found books and higher learning. He studied, and, after his release, got a job as a lifeguard and enrolled in college. He got his BA in Hawaiian Studies from the University of Hawaii in 1998 at the age of 46. A few years later he earned his MA for his thesis paper about the ancient Polynesian practice of riding papa holua boards—which are long, wooden sleds—down grass-covered mountains. Now a professor of Hawaiian History at University of Hawaii, Pohaku Stone's commitment to the preservation and revival of ancient Polynesian knowledge and practices extends beyond academia and into his personal life as a surfer and shaper. In this episode of Soundings, Pohaku Stone sits down with Jamie to talk about the early days at Pipeline, finding solace in the past, his Hawaiian heritage, sobriety, Jose Angel, finding academia, and memorable moments on the North Shore.

The Pacific Ocean is not all that separates the 50th state from the American mainland. The Hawaiian islands remain a place apart, with a distinct culture and national identity borne out of the cyclone of colonial exploitation. Liam and Russian Sam are joined by Miguel (@whitejsakai) for Gladio Free Europe's first exploration of the history of Hawai'i, beginning with a look at the award-winning 2020 documentary CANE FIRE.Taking its name from the first Hollywood production shot on the island of Kauai, filmmaker Anthony Banua-Simon uncovers chains of exploitation that link the plantation economy of Hawai'i's past to the real estate and hospitality industries of the present. Accounts of violent labor wars in pre-statehood Hawaii are interwoven with contemporary vinettes of the everyday struggles of Hawaiian workers, and exoticized images used to sell Hawai'i from the 19th century to the present. While Hawai'i represents a tropical idyll for travelers across the globe, soaring costs of living rampant housing speculation have forced thousands of residents, particularly Native Hawaiians, to flee to the mainland. A general history of Hawaiian colonization starts at 28:24, from the ill-advised decisions of Captain James Cook in 1779 to the illegal imposition of Haole (white American) rule more than a century later. In between, Hawaiian monarchs and ali'i aristocrats established a unified nation that was the first non-European polity to be internationally recognized a legal peer by colonial contemporaries and the first country on earth to achieve universal literacy. 19th century Hawaiians had a vibrant press in their native language and made important diplomatic connections with neighboring Polynesian nations also groaning under the colonial threat. While many of these transformations were related to the growing influence of New England missionaries and other Haoles over the islands, Native Hawaiians like the missionary Henry ʻŌpūkahaʻia and the "merrie monarch" King Kalākaua were the primary actors in making contact with the world beyond the waves.Like that of all nations, the identity of Hawai'i was carefully constructed by its aristocrats and industrialists during the development of a capitalist economy. Because while so many aspects of pre-colonial religion and culture were suppressed by missionaries and their aristocratic ali'i patrons, that which could be marketed to outsiders was preserved and promoted. Native Hawaiian leaders like Kalākaua and his sister Liliʻuokalani traveled the world to present an image of the Hawaiians as a dignified and civilized people. This was not enough to preserve Hawaiian sovereignty, but it established a romantic image of the islands that has enchanted outsiders for well over a century. Despite the violent overthrow of the islands' last queen, and the systematic disenfranchisement and ongoing of Native Hawaiians, Hawaiian culture, or at least a specific image of it, has found admirers as disparate as Elvis Presley and Chinese Premiere Jiang Zemin.

Imagine experiencing Walt Disney World without the stress, phone battery anxiety, or exhaustion that often accompanies a theme park vacation. That's exactly what we discovered on our recent seven-day adventure through Disney's magical world.Our journey began at Blizzard Beach water park, taking advantage of the free entry offered to resort guests on check-in day. Unlike the sometimes overwhelming Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach proved more navigable and family-friendly, setting the perfect tone for our vacation. Afterward, we checked into the elegant Grand Destino Tower at Coronado Springs, where Spanish-inspired design and relaxing ambiance created an upscale retreat from park excitement.The game-changer for our trip? Lightning Lane Multi-Passes. Yes, we spent an additional $725, but the freedom this investment provided transformed our experience completely. Without constantly checking our phones for return times or standing in lengthy queues, we discovered a more relaxed approach to Disney that we didn't know was possible.Each day brought new delights as we explored the parks at our own pace. At EPCOT, we walked right onto Soarin' while others rushed to Guardians of the Galaxy, savoring the often-overlooked attraction without crowds. Hollywood Studios surprised us with impressive new shows featuring The Little Mermaid and Disney Villains, both showcasing technology and storytelling that exceeded our expectations. And Animal Kingdom delivered perhaps the best safari experience we've ever had, with nearly every animal visible and active.One unexpected revelation: taking occasional breaks from each other made our family time more meaningful. Those 30-45 minutes of "me time" – whether wandering Galaxy's Edge with a Gold Squadron Lager or people-watching from a bench near Cinderella Castle – prevented friction and recharged everyone's spirits.From watching fireworks at the Polynesian beach to discovering what might be Disney property's best burger at D-Luxe Burger, our unhurried approach uncovered magic we'd previously rushed past. We followed our Disney adventure with four days at Vero Beach Resort, where we discovered buffalo-tossed Disney chicken tenders that should absolutely make their way to the parks!Ready to experience Disney differently? Let our journey inspire you to slow down, prioritize enjoyment over exhaustion, and discover the true magic that happens when you're not checking the time.

Guided Meditation - Quantum Jumping Into Your Ideal Life

Imagine being able to tear through the fabric of reality itself - to quantum leap across the multiverse of possibilities and land precisely in the version of your life where abundance flows like water, where your highest potential has been realized, where the YOU that exists there wakes up every morning in awe of the magic that surrounds them! This is not science fiction, my friends - this is the bleeding edge where ancient wisdom meets quantum physics. The mana force - that primordial energy the Polynesians harnessed for centuries - combined with the reality-bending principles of quantum mechanics that scientists like Max Planck and Niels Bohr unveiled to our astonished minds. What if I told you that the version of you that has already achieved everything you desire is simply vibrating at a different frequency? That your dream life exists RIGHT NOW in a parallel timeline, and all you need is the right technology of consciousness to SHIFT yourself there? The meditation you're about to experience is that technology - a precise protocol combining the energy-generating mana force breath work with visualization that programs your neural pathways, connects to your higher self, activates the reality-selecting plait from Transurfing, and executes the quantum jump that catapults your consciousness into your optimal timeline.
