From Xenomorphs to ETs: Which Alien Species is the Best? This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl boldly go into the sci-fi vault to debate the most creative alien species in the galaxy. Think Na'vi spirituality meets Xenomorph acid vomit. From hive-minded cybernetic zombies to fire-based art snobs, it's time to crown the weirdest, wildest, most wonderful extraterrestrials in fiction. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien, Mine: Alien Showdown… Who’s the Best? Darryl Heptapods (from Arrival) Physical Traits – Appearance: Heptapods are seven-limbed (hence the name “hepta-” meaning seven) creatures with a large, oval-shaped head and a body that appears to be semi-transparent2. – Eyes: They have thousands of small, dime-sized eyes in clusters, which are actually patches of photosensitive skin. – Sensory Perception: They use sophisticated sonar to perceive their environment, allowing them to detect even minute details. Culture – Non-linear Perception of Time: Heptapods experience time non-linearly, meaning they perceive past, present, and future simultaneously. This is reflected in their language and behavior3. – Patience and Long-term Thinking: Their non-linear perception of time gives them a unique perspective on patience and long-term consequences. They are willing to wait for humans to understand their language and purpose4. – Purpose of Arrival: They arrive on Earth to share their language, Heptapod B, which they believe will help humanity understand their non-linear perception of time and potentially aid them in the future. Language – Heptapod A: This is their spoken language, which sounds very organic and is designed to be heard rather than spoken. – Heptapod B: This is their written language, consisting of circular logograms that represent entire concepts or sentences rather than individual words. The meaning of these logograms depends on the tendrils and splotches branching out from their circular rings2. – Impact on Humans: Learning Heptapod B alters the human perception of time, allowing them to experience events out of sequence, similar to how Heptapods perceive time. MorningLightMountain (Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton) Physical Traits: – Prime Bodies: MorningLightMountain’s consciousness inhabits billions of distinct Prime bodies. These bodies are divided into two types: motiles and immotiles1. – Motiles: Motiles can see and move but are relatively unintelligent on their own. – Immotiles: Immotiles are blind and immobile but highly intelligent. They can breed motiles, and four motiles can merge to form a new immotile1. – Wormhole Technology: MorningLightMountain possesses wormhole technology, allowing its bodies to communicate over arbitrarily large distances. Mental Traits: – Hive Mind: MorningLightMountain operates as a hive mind, with a single united consciousness spread across billions of bodies. – Xenophobic and Expansionist: The Primes, including MorningLightMountain, are highly xenophobic and expansionist, seeking to subsume or destroy other species. – Highly Intelligent: Immotiles can link to each other for greater processing power, making MorningLightMountain one of the most powerful Primes. Linguistic Traits: – Non-Verbal Communication: MorningLightMountain primarily communicates non-verbally through its network of bodies. – Radio Transmitters: Primes use implanted radio transmitters to stay wirelessly connected, allowing for long-range communication. Saga of the Seven Suns series (Kevin J Anderson) Hydrogues – Physical Traits: Elemental beings composed of water and gas, often appearing as massive, swirling masses of liquid and vapor. – Culture: Highly territorial and aggressive, especially when their habitats are threatened. They have a deep connection to water and gas. – Language: Communicate through complex patterns of vibrations and waves. Faeros – Physical Traits: Elemental beings associated with fire and light, emitting a warm glow and capable of producing flames. – Culture: Passionate and energetic, valuing creativity and expression. They are often involved in artistic and spiritual pursuits. – Language: Communicate through a combination of spoken language and visual symbols, using their fiery abilities to create intricate patterns and displays. Borg Physical Traits: – Cybernetic Enhancements: The Borg are a collective of various species that have been assimilated and augmented with cybernetic implants. This results in a mix of biological and mechanical features. – Pale Skin: Their skin tends to be pale or grayish due to the integration of technology and loss of individuality. – Mechanical Limbs and Eyes: Many Borg drones have mechanical limbs and/or eyes, often replacing their original biological parts with more efficient cybernetic versions. Culture: – Collective Consciousness: The Borg operate as a hive mind, known as the Collective. Individuality is suppressed, and all drones are connected through a central consciousness. – Assimilation: The primary goal of the Borg is to assimilate other species to enhance their own collective knowledge and capabilities. This is often done forcibly, with the mantra “Resistance is futile.” – Efficient and Methodical: The Borg are highly efficient and methodical in their actions, driven by their collective purpose of achieving perfection. Language: – Communal Communication: The Borg communicate internally through their collective consciousness, sharing thoughts and information instantaneously. – Distinctive Speech Patterns: When speaking externally, the Borg often use a collective “we” to represent their hive mind and have a monotone, emotionless speech pattern. Changelings (Founders) Physical Traits: – Shapeshifters: Changelings are highly advanced shapeshifters capable of assuming any form, from humanoid figures to inanimate objects. – Gelatinous State: In their natural form, Changelings exist as a gelatinous mass, which they revert to when at rest or regenerating. – Golden Hue: Their gelatinous form has a distinctive golden hue. Culture: – Great Link: The Changelings share a deep connection through the Great Link, a shared state where they merge together in their natural form, exchanging thoughts and experiences. – Isolation and Control: Historically, Changelings have sought to isolate themselves from solids (non-shapeshifting species) and control them to protect themselves from persecution and harm. – Founders of the Dominion: Changelings are the ruling species of the Dominion, a powerful political and military alliance in the Gamma Quadrant. They employ the Vorta and Jem’Hadar as their loyal servants to enforce their will. Language: – Universal Communication: Changelings typically communicate in the languages of the species they interact with. Their ability to shapeshift allows them to perfectly mimic speech. – Telepathic Connection: Within the Great Link, communication is telepathic and intuitive, allowing for an exchange of complex ideas and emotions without words. Na’vi (James Cameron Avatar movies) Physical Traits – Height and Build: The Na’vi are tall, standing about 10 feet (3 meters) in height, and have a slender, graceful build. – Blue Skin: They have blue skin with bioluminescent patterns that glow in the dark, helping them blend into their environment. – Four-Fingered Hands: Unlike humans, the Na’vi have four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot. – Cat-like Features: They have large, expressive, golden eyes, pointed ears, and tails, giving them a feline appearance. – Braid with Neural Queue: Each Na’vi has a long braid called a “tswin,” which contains a neural queue that allows them to connect with other creatures and the environment on Pandora. Culture – Deep Connection with Nature: The Na’vi live in harmony with the natural world of Pandora. They have a deep spiritual connection with the flora, fauna, and the planet itself. – Clans and Tribes: The Na’vi are organized into various clans and tribes, each with its own customs and traditions. The Omaticaya clan, for example, resides in the Hometree. – Eywa: The Na’vi worship Eywa, the Great Mother, a deity representing the interconnectedness of all life on Pandora. They believe that Eywa maintains the balance of life. – Rites of Passage: Na’vi culture includes several rites of passage, such as the bonding with a direhorse (pa’li) and a mountain banshee (ikran), which signify one’s transition into adulthood. – Hunting and Gathering: The Na’vi are skilled hunters and gatherers, relying on their environment for sustenance while respecting the creatures they hunt. Language – Na’vi Language: The Na’vi have their own language, developed specifically for the film by linguist Dr. Paul Frommer. It is a fully functional language with its own grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. – Tsaheylu: The neural bond, called “tsaheylu,” allows the Na’vi to connect with other creatures and their environment. This connection is a form of communication that transcends spoken language. Xenomorphs (Alien Franchise) Physical Traits: – Exoskeleton: Xenomorphs have a biomechanical, black exoskeleton that provides them with great durability and a fearsome appearance. – Elongated Skull: They possess an elongated, ridged skull with a lack of visible eyes, giving them a terrifying, eyeless visage. – Inner Jaws: Equipped with a secondary, inner jaw that can extend from their mouths for lethal attacks. – Tail: Their long, muscular tails end in a sharp blade, which they use for both balance and as a weapon. – Acidic Blood: Their blood is highly acidic, capable of burning through metal and other materials. Culture: – Hive Structure: Xenomorphs have a hive-based social structure, with a Queen at the center, responsible for laying eggs and maintaining the population. – Instinct-Driven: They operate primarily on instinct, driven by a need to propagate their species. This includes capturing hosts for their Facehuggers to implant embryos. – Parasitic Life Cycle: Their life cycle involves multiple stages: Egg, Facehugger, Chestburster, and Adult. The Facehugger attaches to a host, implanting an embryo that later emerges violently from the host’s chest as a Chestburster. – Adaptive and Versatile: They can adapt to different environments and hosts, resulting in various Xenomorph types with specific traits influenced by their host species. Language: – Non-Verbal Communication: Xenomorphs communicate non-verbally through body language, pheromones, and hisses or screeches. Their interactions are primarily based on their hive hierarchy and instinctual behaviors. Species 8472 (Undine) — Honorable Mention Physical Traits: – Tripedal and Non-Humanoid: Species 8472, also known as Undine, are tripedal beings with a non-humanoid appearance. – Fluidic Space Origin: They originate from a dimension called fluidic space, which is accessible through quantum singularities. – Biological Technology: Their highly developed biology and organic technology make them tactically superior to the Borg. Culture: – War with the Borg: Species 8472 engaged in a war with the Borg after the Borg invaded their realm of fluidic space. They proved immune to assimilation and launched a counter-invasion of the galaxy2. – Genocidal Intentions: They have a genocidal intent towards other species, considering them a threat. – Negotiations with the Federation: Captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager negotiated peace with Species 8472, using a weapon developed from Borg nanoprobes to force them to retreat. Language: – Telepathic Communication: Species 8472 communicate telepathically, using their telepathic abilities to convey thoughts and intentions. – Unknown Name: Their name for themselves is unknown, as they are referred to by their Borg designation. Brian Farscape Luxans – Tall, warrior-like humanoids with a warrior code of honor. – Recognizable by their facial tendrils and thick-skinned appearance. – Can heal themselves through a process called “battlefield transfusion.” – Notable Character: Ka D'Argo – A fierce but noble warrior with a tragic past. Delvians – A sentient plant-based species with blue skin and photokinetic abilities. – Capable of deep meditation and powerful telepathic abilities. – Often have a spiritual or religious focus. – Notable Character: Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan – A Delvian priestess who can use her mind and biochemistry to heal or harm. Scarrans – Reptilian, highly aggressive, and among the most physically powerful species. – Possess natural heat-based abilities, allowing them to intimidate or harm opponents. – Scarrans view themselves as the superior species and often engage in genetic experimentation. – Notable Character: Emperor Staleek – A ruthless leader of the Scarran Empire. Pilots – Large, multi-limbed creatures that are biologically bonded to Leviathans (living ships). – They have a deep connection with their Leviathan and can control their functions. – Notable Character: Pilot – The pilot of Moya, who communicates with the crew and the ship. Leviathans – Living, biomechanical starships that possess sentience. – Generally peaceful but can be forced into servitude by Peacekeeper “Control Collars.” – Notable Character: Moya – The Leviathan that serves as the home and transport for Crichton and his crew. Star Wars (Expanded Universe) Yuuzhan Vong Who Are the Yuuzhan Vong? The Yuuzhan Vong are an extragalactic warrior species who invaded the Star Wars galaxy, triggering the Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY). Unlike most species in Star Wars, they: – Are immune to the Force – Jedi cannot sense them, and their presence in the galaxy caused major upheaval in the Force itself. – Use only organic technology – They abhor droids and mechanical technology, instead using genetically engineered living creatures as weapons, ships, and tools. – Are deeply religious and fanatical – They follow a strict caste system and worship pain as a path to enlightenment. Biology & Appearance – Humanoid, but with ritualistic scarring and tattooing that marks their status in society. – They believe in self-mutilation and pain as a form of religious devotion. – Have a higher pain tolerance than most species. – They view cybernetics and machines as heretical and replace body parts with living biotechnological organisms. Society & Culture The Yuuzhan Vong are organized into a rigid caste system: – The Supreme Overlord – The absolute ruler of their species. – Notable Character: Supreme Overlord Shimrra, who led the invasion of the galaxy. – The Warrior Caste – Devoted soldiers who follow a strict code of honor. – The Priest Caste – Religious leaders who interpret the will of the gods. – The Shaper Caste – Scientists responsible for bioengineering their weapons and technology. – The Intendant Caste – Bureaucrats and administrators. – The Worker Caste – The lowest rank, responsible for labor. Their entire culture revolves around pain, sacrifice, and religious zeal, believing that their gods command them to conquer and purify the galaxy. Yuuzhan Vong Technology (All Organic) – Living Starships (Coralskippers & Worldships) – Instead of metal ships, they use bio-engineered living vessels. – Vonduun Crab Armor – Grown, not manufactured, and is resistant to lightsabers. – Amphistaffs – Living snake-like weapons that function as both swords and whips. – Dovin Basals – Creatures that create miniature black holes to absorb attacks (even deflecting turbolaser fire). – Yorik Coral – Used to construct buildings, ships, and even restrain captives. The Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY) – The Yuuzhan Vong invaded the New Republic, launching a brutal war. – They captured and terraformed many worlds, including turning Coruscant into a massive Yuuzhan Vong ecosystem. – The Jedi, New Republic, and remnants of the Empire had to unite to fight them. – The war ended when Supreme Overlord Shimrra was killed, and his second-in-command, Onimi, was revealed as the real mastermind. – After their defeat, the surviving Yuuzhan Vong were relocated to Zonama Sekot, a living planet. Why Are They So Unique? – They stand out from all other Star Wars villains because they don't use the Force and their biology/technology is completely different from the rest of the galaxy. – They pushed the Jedi to their limits—without the ability to sense them in the Force, traditional Jedi tactics were ineffective. – Their brutality and disregard for machines made them unlike the Sith, the Empire, or any other major villains in Star Wars. Legacy in Star Wars While the Yuuzhan Vong were a major part of Legends, they have not appeared in the Disney canon yet. However, The Clone Wars animated series almost introduced them in a scrapped episode. Falling Skies Espheni (Overlords) – The main antagonists for most of the series. – An advanced, insectoid-like species with a strict hierarchical society. – Possess telepathic abilities and are highly intelligent strategists. – Use a combination of biotechnology and mechanical technology for warfare. – Consider humans an inferior species and attempt to enslave them. – They have an imperialistic nature, having conquered multiple planets before Earth. Notable Espheni: – The Espheni Overlords – Tall, slender, and powerful commanders of the invasion. – The Espheni Queen – The true leader of the invasion, revealed in the final season. Skitters (Arachnids) – Multi-limbed, insectoid creatures used as foot soldiers by the Espheni. – Originally another enslaved species, controlled through neural harnesses attached to their spines. – Many Skitters are loyal to the Espheni, but a rebel faction exists. – Known for high mobility, leaping abilities, and brutal combat skills. Notable Skitters: – Red-Eye – A rebel Skitter who aids the human resistance. – Harnessed Children – Human children forcibly enslaved by the Espheni using a similar mind-controlling harness. The Harnessed – Human (mainly children) captives of the Espheni, controlled through a biomechanical harness attached to their spines. – The harness allows the Espheni to control their minds and enhance their physical abilities. – Over time, harnessed children begin to transform into Skitters themselves. – Ben Mason, the son of protagonist Tom Mason, is partially harnessed but later freed. The Volm – A technologically advanced, humanoid alien species that arrives in Season 3 to help humanity. – They have been at war with the Espheni for generations and seek to liberate Earth. – Use energy-based weapons and powerful war machines. – While allied with humans, their leader, Cochise, warns that they have their own agenda. Notable Volm: – Cochise – The main Volm character, who forms a bond with the humans and helps them fight the Espheni. The Dornia (The Ancient Enemy) – Introduced late in the series as a mysterious aquatic species. – The original victims of the Espheni, nearly wiped out in the past. – Offer limited aid to the human resistance but provide key knowledge for defeating the Espheni Queen. – Their advanced biology allows them to manipulate water-based environments. Final Thoughts – The Espheni are classic conquerors, much like the Yuuzhan Vong (Star Wars) or Scarrans (Farscape), but with an added layer of biotechnology. – The Skitters are tragic figures, originally a peaceful species enslaved by the Espheni. – The Volm act as reluctant saviors, assisting humanity while maintaining their own goals. – The show played with themes of resistance, survival, and moral ambiguity, especially when it came to dealing with harnessed humans.

The gharial, a Critically Endangered species, is an unmistakable crocodilian on the edge of extinction. Recognizable by its long, slender jaws adapted for catching fish, males have a distinctive bulbous growth on their snouts called a "ghara," which is named after a traditional Indian pot. This unique feature is also the basis for the species' common name, "gharial." Unlike other crocodiles, gharials exhibit a marked difference between males and females.Once widespread throughout the Indian subcontinent, the gharial now survives in only five small, isolated populations across India and Nepal. The IUCN Red List classifies the gharial as Critically Endangered due to drastic population declines—up to 98% since the 1940s—leaving fewer than 250 adult individuals in the wild. Major threats to the species include severe degradation of riverine habitats caused by dams, barrages, irrigation canals, and artificial embankments. Additionally, sand mining negatively impacts their habitat, disrupting the breeding ecology critical for their survival.Join Dr. Gaurav Vashistha, the founder of the Gharial Conservation Programme at Katerniaghat, one of the last strongholds of the gharials. We talk about the ecology and conservation of the gharials, covering the various reintroduction efforts around India!The Think Wildlife Podcast is also available on iTunes, Spotify and YouTube.

What is resounding victory? Resounding victory is a decisive, over-whelming and unmistakable triumph over challenges, obstacles, or adversaries. Resounding victories are often marked by: i. Recognizable changes ii. Complete dominance or success iii. Celebrations because of its magnitude and impact. Is a believer's victory a distant hope? Not at all. Romans 8:37; 1 Corinthians 15:57; John 16:33; and Philippians 4:13, tell us that the believer's victory is a present reality. It is victory we are called to enjoy now. Christians are to walk in this reality through their close and daily relationship with God.

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we discuss Japanese watches. That's a wide subject, so we attack it in different ways. Stick around to find out how we tackle one of our favorite watch genres. For our listeners, the watch content begins after approximately 17 minutes.Japanese watches rate highly in the minds of both hosts. Mike owns a large collection of pieces from the Land of the Rising Sun. Balazs has a tight collection of modern and vintage stalwarts. Still, we're going to discuss some highly recognizable pieces and some of our favorites. This isn't exhaustive. Otherwise, we'd still be recording!HandgelenkskontrolleAfter some banter and an obligatory dad joke, we ease into the Handgelenkskontrolle. Mike is dressed for the occasion. He's wearing the Seiko Cronos J13846 from 1962. The watch has a two-piece screw-in case back. It's generally regarded as the brand's first waterproof watch. Balazs is wearing his hi-beat King Seiko 5625-7000, a lovely watch that continues to inspire Grand Seiko models.Japanese watchesOur purpose in discussing Japanese watches is twofold. Balazs mentions five of the most well-known pieces from various brands. Mike heads in a different direction and discusses a handful of his favorite models. This was an extremely difficult task to come up with just five per person. Each Japanese brand has a deep history and, therefore, many important references. We are just scratching the surface! We discuss the following:Seiko Turtle in new and vintage form, one of the most recognizable dive watches in historySeiko 6215-7000, an incredible vintage diver that set a design standardSeiko SKX diver, probably the most popular "gateway drug" to mechanical watches everSeiko Champion Alpinist J13043, one of the greatest designs from the brandCasio G-Shock original DW-5000C or its modern DW-5600 counterparts, the digital watch that started it allGrand Seiko 4420-9000 "44GS," likely one of the most important dress watch designs of all timeCitizen Promaster Nighthawk, one of the most recognizable watches and potentially the most popular pilot's watchThe Citizen Auto Dater Uni ADUS31201-T, a little-known gem that took on the Seiko Silver WaveCredor as a brand and the highest form of expression from SeikoCalendar Auto Orient 21 Diver T19755, a beautiful '60s JDM dive watch with stunning lumeFolks, that's a wrap, and we look forward to hearing about your top five Japanese watches. We're almost 100% sure they're different from our picks! Thanks for listening, and if you have any suggestions for show topics, please let us know.

Pancakes are part of the fabric of American breakfasts, yet so many ready-to-make mixes and syrups are packed with additives, preservatives and artificial sweeteners. Blanket Pancakes & Syrup, the dream child of the pancake-loving Carter family, are here to weave a new narrative of what pancake mixes should be. Meet the rising star of the breakfast aisle: a line of irresistibly flavored pancake mixes and syrups that are made from simple ingredients families can trust. “We love pancakes, but between busy family life and health complications that arose after I gave birth, finding a product that combined both efficiency with health-conscious ingredients wasn't easy at all. So, with some determination, a big appetite and a willingness to get my hands dirty in the kitchen, I perfected the right recipe. From there, “Blanket was born” said Marquita Carter, creator, and founder of Blanket Pancakes & Syrup. From a humble passion project to a startup success story, Blanket has already transformed the breakfast landscape with its all-natural, irresistibly flavored pancake mixes and syrups. In the last year, it hit shelves at grocers across the nation, including Walmart, Costco, Food Lion, Giant Foods and Hannaford. The reasons so many people are catching on to what makes Blanket such a standout breakfast product include: Delicious mixes: The pancake mixes come in buttermilk, honey butter, sweet potato, chocolate chip, vegan and an upcoming gluten-free buttermilk. Mouthwatering syrups: Available in original, vanilla and cinnamon, these syrups take an already outstanding batch of pancakes to the next level. Recognizable, wholesome ingredients: All of Blanket's products are made from natural ingredients customers (and their bodies) can recognize. Each batch is free from bleached flour, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, GMOs and eggs. Ready in minutes: The Carters know great pancakes take time and patience, but with Blanket, the “just add water” mixes make it simple to get pure, fluffy pancakes on the griddle in minutes. Blanket Pancakes & Syrup is committed to providing top-notch all natural products that make breakfast time the best meal of the day, at any time of the day. Blanket is available online at Amazon and grocery stores nationwide, including Walmart, Costco, Food Lion, Giant Foods and Hannaford. Web: https://blanketps.com About: Blanket Pancakes & Syrup is committed to providing top-notch all natural products that make breakfast time the best meal of the day, at any time of the day. The purest ingredients for the best-tasting, easiest pancakes and syrup is what Blanket's all about. Priding itself on clean, natural ingredients, Blanket Pancakes & Syrup stands out in a market of mixes packed with preservatives, artificial sweeteners and other risky additives. ► Luxury Women Handbag Discounts: https://www.theofficialathena.... ► Become an Equus Coach®: https://equuscoach.com/?rfsn=7... ► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH58... ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/po... ► Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSa... ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1lov... ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsa... ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog #atlanta #ashsaidit #theashsaiditshow #ashblogsit #ashsaidit®Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ash-said-it-show--1213325/support.

In the deep horizon of the motorcycle world, a wild soul rides her mechanical horse with strength. Like an Apache, she has traveled more than half a million miles in five decades. Independent and multi-skilled, her personality seduced many people to the point where she became one of the four emblematic bikers in the successful documentary “Biker Women”. Recognizable by her style, covered in necklaces and rings and with a striking smile, she is one of the longest standing members of the Litas Los Angeles Chapter and the collective “A Quest Called Tribe” with Tana Roller. Growing up in Los Angeles as an African American lesbian in the 1960s, her love for others and passion for motorcycles gave her the strength to achieve her dreams and inspire other women to realize their own dreams.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: A Frozen Triumph: From Beginner to Belonging on Stockholm's Icy Dance Floor Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/a-frozen-triumph-from-beginner-to-belonging-on-stockholms-icy-dance-floor Story Transcript:Sv: Det smäller om vintrig köld i Stockholm. Erik står där på Strandvägen, ser ut över Nybroviken. Det kryper isigt kallt längs ryggraden. Lådor med skridskor finns framför honom. Tvekan fyller luften.En: It's freezing cold in Stockholm. Erik stands there on Strandvägen, looking out over Nybroviken. A chilling cold crawls along his spine. Boxes of ice skates are in front of him. Doubt fills the air.Sv: Erik är ny i stan. Flyttat från Kalmar, lockad av studier på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan. I Kalmar är havet hans lekplats. Men i snötäckta Stockholm är det isen som regerar. Han aldrig prövat skridskor. Men han vill passa in, vill ingå.En: Erik is new in town. He moved from Kalmar, lured by studies at the Royal Institute of Technology. In Kalmar, the sea is his playground. But in snowy Stockholm, it's the ice that rules. He has never tried ice skating before. But he wants to fit in, to belong.Sv: En senare studievardag, han ger blicken mot Djurgårdsbrunnsviken. Marken knarrar under fötterna. Skridskor dinglar i hans hand. Vänner väntar på isen. Den lilla gruppen är strålande av liv och skratt. Erik stannar vid kanten av viken, drar på sig skridskorna. Obehagligt känns det, stelt men ändå löst.En: On a later weekday, he gazes towards Djurgårdsbrunnsviken. The ground creaks under his feet. Ice skates dangle in his hand. Friends wait on the ice. The small group is radiant with life and laughter. Erik stops at the edge of the bay, puts on the skates. It feels uncomfortable, stiff but somehow loose.Sv: Blickarna är på honom nu. Han börjar glida fram. Skratt ekar i luften. Han famlar, han svingar. Isen kommer emot honom gång på gång. Han blir en show, en komisk akt. "Välkommen till Stockholm!" ropar en kompis. Skratten blir starkare. Erik blir röd, men också ivrig.En: All eyes are on him now. He starts to glide forward. Laughter echoes in the air. He fumbles, he swings. The ice keeps coming at him over and over. He becomes a show, a comedy act. "Welcome to Stockholm!" shouts a friend. The laughter grows stronger. Erik turns red but also eager.Sv: Dagar går. Erik fortsätter falla. Men han reser sig upp igen. Han har fått nog av skrattet. Nu fylls han av envishet. Nybörjarstadiet försöker han lämna bakom sig. Träna, träna, träna. Det är hans mantra.En: Days go by. Erik keeps falling. But he gets up again. He's had enough of the laughter. Now he's filled with determination. He tries to leave the beginner stage behind. Practice, practice, practice. That's his mantra.Sv: En dag, något klickar. Känslan, rörelsen, balansen. Isen är inte längre hans fiende. Den kalla, slipade ytan är hans dansgolv. Skratten har tystnat. Vännerna ser på, förvånade. Eriks skridskor skär genom isen, stark och säker.En: One day, something clicks. The feeling, the movement, the balance. The ice is no longer his enemy. The cold, polished surface is his dance floor. The laughter has silenced. Friends watch, astonished. Erik's skates slice through the ice, strong and sure.Sv: Alla ropar nu. Inte av skratt, utan jubel. De ser inte den okontrollerade nybörjaren. De ser Erik, skridskoåkaren. Erik andas ut, leende. Igenkännande jubel ekar över Djurgården. "Välkommen till Stockholm, Erik!". Erik ler, han vet nu. Han hör hemma här.En: Everyone cheers now. Not with laughter, but with jubilation. They no longer see the uncontrolled beginner. They see Erik, the ice skater. Erik breathes out, smiling. Recognizable cheers echo over Djurgården. "Welcome to Stockholm, Erik!" Erik smiles, he knows now. He belongs here.Sv: Så vår Stockholmssaga slutar. Med en kille, Erik, som lärt sig skridskor. Med hans skratt, hans kämpaglöd, hans triumf. Med vänner, med is, med Stockholm. Stockholm stad som var ny, men nu välkänd. Stockholm som nu var hemstad, hans stad.En: And so our Stockholm tale ends. With a guy, Erik, who has learned to ice skate. With his laughter, his determination, his triumph. With friends, with ice, with Stockholm. Stockholm city, once new, but now familiar. Stockholm, now a hometown, his city.Sv: Novellen visar att med envishet och tålamod, kan man lära sig saker, även i en främmande miljö. En första gång kan vara okontrollerat, obekvämt, nästan förlöjligande. Men bara genom att ge det en chans, kan man övervinna osäkerheten och bli trygg. Det är Erik som visar oss detta, från att okontrollerat glida över isen till att mestra den med självkontroll och elegans.En: The story shows that with determination and patience, one can learn things, even in a foreign environment. The first time may be uncontrolled, uncomfortable, almost ridiculing. But only by giving it a chance, one can overcome uncertainty and feel secure. It is Erik who shows us this, from uncontrolled gliding on the ice to mastering it with self-control and elegance.

Godzilla is an international icon in monster movie cinema. Recognizable by millions and adored by multiple generations. His inception - to those unaware - was Japan's response to the first, and only time, nuclear weapons were used in modern warfare. The bombs that hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki devastated the country and its people. And simultaneously gave rise to all manner of "what if?" scenarios about what could happen next should the bombs ever be used again in combat.  Today's episode looks back at the horrors of war, the destructive nature of the bombings, and the movie monster that was birthed out of it.    SIDE NOTE: There is a bit of static towards the end of this episode. I trust it doesn't detract too much from the content so hang in there till the end! 

Elder abuse - it's a topic often avoided because the reality of it is difficult to face. However, it's a vital conversation and brings forward the importance of combating mistreatment through education and advocacy. Unfortunately, the elderly population is more susceptible to being taken advantage of due to physical and mental decline, and believe it or not, 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 60 will experience some form of elder abuse. It can come in various forms, from neglect and psychological abuse to physical and financial abuse. To make matters worse, only 1 in 44 cases of elder abuse are reported, according to The National Adult Protective Services Association. If you're like us and you find yourself wondering how such a serious issue among so many older adults can be allowed to go unreported and unresolved, then you're in the right place. Awareness is the first step to preventing elder abuse, and that's why, in this episode of A Place of Possibility, we're facing the complex realities of elder abuse head-on. After all, it's easier to have a difficult conversation than it is to live with abuse. Together, we'll be talking about: The different types of elder abuse and what they look like Recognizable signs of elder abuse that may be impacting loved ones, whether at home or in a facility The best ways to protect yourself or a family member from abuse What to do if you suspect elder abuse What the legal ramifications are for elder abuse And more! During the discussion, Richard also shares a personal story about how financial elder abuse touched his family, specifically his father, who was 80 at the time: “My father was a victim of financial abuse. He had a line of credit with a checkbook that he had never used sitting in one of his drawers, and unfortunately, his girlfriend, who was living with him, started writing checks and signing his name, but the money was going to her. Over two years, she stole about $80,000. We had no idea, and she was hiding the statements from him. Once I got wind of this, I called the authorities and tried to talk to him, but he didn't want to take action because he was afraid of losing her companionship. We did eventually get the money back after she passed away.”  At Del Monte Group, we want to help you protect your wealth and health.

Keith explores the psychology behind using familiar sayings to make pivotal points in ways that stick.   He bases his theory on the idea that people embrace old adages because they have roots in their childhood, and bring a level of comfort to the conversation, making the speaker seem naturally trustworthy.   Trust is vital in the courtroom, and can easily make or break a case.   The conversation is between Keith and Jason Ingber, Director of Legal Services at Morgan & Morgan of LA.   Subscribe for more episodes!   Have a case?

Who do you think is the MOST RECOGNIZABLE person in the world?

In today's episode, Gina responds to a listener email commenting on his own struggle with anxiety-inducing thoughts. The listener suggests the common thread running through the most distressing thoughts he has is that they involve future (often catastrophic) events that have not yet come to pass. Listen in to see how to best respond to such thinking and learn to overcome a major anxiety creating pattern: intrusive thinking about events that have not yet (and may never) come to pass.

We explore the roots of anxiety and how they manifest in our minds. One listener shared a comment that resonated with several others - that many of their anxieties had a common thread: they were all centered around future events and scenarios. This realization was a breakthrough for the listener, as they found it helpful to remind themselves that they will handle these situations when they actually occur, instead of trying to control them in the present. As the host, I emphasize the importance of being the master of our minds rather than being enslaved by our anxious thoughts. I quote Ramez Sasson, who said, "You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." So often, individuals with anxiety search for patterns in their anxieties, trying to make sense of their constant worries. I ask listeners if they have noticed any patterns in their own anxious thoughts. We acknowledge that the anxieties surrounding future events are common and often based on hypothetical scenarios. Our imagination can take us to dark places, but it's essential not to let these thoughts dictate our present experience or become slaves to our minds. Instead, we should use our minds as instruments and discern which thoughts require attention and which can be put aside for the time being. Moving forward, we shift our discussion towards the common anxieties people have about future flights and how to handle them. We explore the fact that many of these fears are anticipatory, and our imagination can run wild with negative possibilities. However, it's crucial to remember that these anxieties are not happening in the present moment. Spending too much time in future anxious thinking can exhaust our bodies and keep us stuck in a fight or flight reaction pattern. The key to breaking free from this pattern is practicing mindfulness and bringing our minds back to the present moment when we catch ourselves falling down the wormhole of anxious thoughts. By regularly engaging in meditation and being mindful, we build the strength to redirect our thoughts to reality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join your host, Ken Pilot, as he interviews Steve Madden, Founder and Creative Chief of his eponymous Footwear and Accessories brand, Steve Madden.Key Highlights:Steve Madden's Early Career: Steve Madden's career in retail began when he got a job at a shoe store in Cedarhurst, Long Island. He got the job by mentioning he was Johnny Madden's little brother, and the owner hired him on the spot. This marked the beginning of his journey in the shoe business.Creative Influence in Shoe Business: Steve started working in the shoe business during a creative period, particularly in men's shoes. Platform shoes, especially for men, were in trend during the mid-'70s. The store owner, whom he looked up to, fancied himself as a shoe designer, and this environment fueled Steve's interest in the creative side of the shoe business.Mentorship at Gildor: After working at Toulouse, Steve joined Gildor, a well-known shoe retailer. Larry, the son of the owner, became a significant mentor for Steve. He emphasized attention to detail, such as maintaining perfect displays, which left a lasting impact on Steve's approach to business.The Influence of Sobriety: Steve's journey towards sobriety played a pivotal role in his success. He mentions that getting sober was one of the most significant factors in his achievements. It allowed him to focus and make better decisions for his business.Impact of Jordan Belfort: Steve acknowledges that meeting Jordan Belfort, also known as the Wolf of Wall Street, had both positive and negative consequences. Jordan's entrepreneurial spirit provided encouragement to Steve. However, the financial dealings with Jordan and his associates led to legal troubles and eventually Steve going to prison. Despite this, Steve recognizes the role Jordan played in his journey.Appreciation for Teamwork: Steve emphasizes the importance of having a strong team. He credits his success to the people around him, highlighting the pivotal role of his childhood friend, Jamie Carson, who became CEO in his absence and played a crucial part in protecting the company during a challenging period.International Business: Steve Madden's brother, John Madden, played a significant role in building the international business of Steve Madden. John's skill set, including his charm and ability to build relationships, complemented Steve's more hands-on approach to business. International business has experienced tremendous growth, expanding to approximately 50 countries and showing substantial potential for further expansion. Steve Madden is an advocate for using business and trade as a means to foster international relations and promote prosperity. He believes that trading with other nations can lead to mutual understanding and peace..The Steve Madden Group: owns several other brands, including Betsy Johnson, Dolce Vita, BB Dakota, Big Buddha, Blondo, and Greats.

He is also a recovering addict and a devoted family man. Over the past thirty years, the provocative shoe designer built a booming brand and nearly lost it all to “The Wolf of Wall Street,” only to rebound by giving back and creating a global empire.In 1990, with a mere $1,100 in the bank, Madden followed his intuition and set out to create the next big thing: a company able to anticipate consumer needs and subsequently deliver collections that were both cutting edge and highly saleable. Channeling his creative energy to produce a variety of silhouettes and vibrant styles in his Queens-based factory, quickly his dream became reality and the Steve Madden brand was born.30 years later, with over 200 stores across the globe, the acquisition of notable brands such as Dolce Vita, Betsey Johnson, and Blondo, to name a few, standout collaborations with stars including Sydney Sweeney, Nessa Barret, Cardi B, Winnie Harlow, Ja Rule, Keyshia Cole, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, the designer and entrepreneur continues the hustle.While Madden can recognize success, he is mindful of his humble beginning and support he has received on his journey to achievement. As a recovering addict as well as someone who has learned to manage his ADD, Madden is an active philanthropist and mentor who supports several organizations that help those in need of a second chance.A native New Yorker, Steve currently resides in Manhattan with his children, and is more present than ever at his company's Long Island City headquarters, the various showrooms throughout Manhattan and his namesake stores worldwide.
