When the U.S. ignited a war with Iran last weekend, the State Department issued a plea to Americans to "depart now" from several countries in the region. But airspace closures left thousands of Americans suddenly stranded, and regions typically considered safe for travel became targets of Iranian missile strikes.

A New Zealand family living in Kuwait is anxiously waiting to hear whether they will be able to return home, after the Defence Force confirmed it would deploy planes to the Middle East. As part of contingency preparations, consular staff and two C-130J aircraft will be sent to the Middle East in preparation for evacuation operations. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.

"If you just trusted people a little bit more, you would have more time, you would have more energy, and you could return home to yourself." We live in a culture that rewards fixing, striving, and holding everything together, yet the truth is that many women are exhausted not from doing too little but from carrying too much that was never theirs to hold. In this episode, Heather explores what happens when the identity that once fueled your growth begins to limit your freedom, why trusting others can radically expand your time and energy, and how success, achievement, and emotional satisfaction are often operating on entirely different tracks. From energy hoarding and nervous system recalibration after change to the emotional discomfort of having standards, agency, and self-respect, this episode invites you to stop "shoulding," reclaim discernment, and return home to yourself, not as a destination, but as a daily practice of honesty, surrender, and intentional feeling. What to listen for: ✨ The addiction to "fixing" oneself and why energy management matters more ✨ Why most people aren't evolving fast enough to keep up with broader changes ✨ Learning how to communicate your value is a skill that more women need "It is incredibly emotionally uncomfortable for the average woman, let alone the average human, to have discernment, agency, enough self-respect, and high standards on how she lets other people treat her. It actually comes from an identity that you have outgrown." ✨ What really is the finish line for "success," or will the goal post keep moving?  ✨ Why "shoulding" on ourselves doesn't help, and how to see it is data to work from ✨ How your life looks on the outside has nothing to do with life satisfaction "Your feelings and your goals are two different things, and identifying that alone can be a game-changer. More money and achievements aren't going to make you happy. It's so cliché what they say about 'enjoy the journey,' but that's it. How do you want to feel in every moment and every second of the day?" ✨ Why the identity that got you to where you are isn't serving you anymore ✨ The reason our nervous systems get stuck in a "weird" state after change ✨ Getting honest with yourself and surrendering to what's happening "Parenting feels heavier because you're holding something that's not yours to carry. You've become an energy hoarder, and you don't know how to declutter your energy." ✨ It's our job to become adults and acquire the skills that we want our kids to have ✨ Why we love to act like victims of our lives when the world feels unstable ✨ Control is caused by our lack of wanting to feel our feelings healthily *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me for a one-on-one Time & Energy Audit, a focused session designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.

Happy Valentine's Day!Mrs Murray met the UK StrikeFans.com contingent and Badly WiredLamp (“and friends”) on Thursday to talk about the Cormoran Strike novels. Yesterday, Friday the 13th, Rowling tweeted about the secret she had told them — the title of Strike9:Nick Jeffery found the most likely source of the title Sleep Tight, Evangeline, assuming it is not an anagram, in six minutes:BadlyWiredLamp who was at the Rowling meeting congratulated Nick on twixter seven minutes later: “Well done for finding it Nick!” with a hand salute emoji. Which semi-confirmation from a witness suggests he is spot on.Even more impressive, Nick wrote up a flash post about The Whiskey Shambles and other ‘Evangeline' possibilities at the HogwartsProfessor weblog, ‘Sleep Tight, Evangeline – Title Release for Strike 9.' Nick and John will be discussing this news as well as the Psalter and Head of Persephone charms with miniature book, Tolkien, and mythology expert Dimitra Fimi this weekend for a post here next week. See her ‘Miniature Books in Children's Fantasy' to prepare for that conversation. Stay tuned!But it's Valentine's Day! John and Nick celebrate this Hallmark Holiday with a journey through the Cormoran Strike novels' V-Day celebrations and a discussion of the various Valentines and Cupid's in the story, with special emphasis on the Cupid and Psyche myth that Rowling has suggested is the series story template.That suggestion came the week after Hallmarked Man's publication in the first of her Public Service Announcements to “Robin and Strike fans:”This image came as a surprise even to Hogwarts Professor subscribers because, though we have been writing and talking about the Cupid and Psyche myth as one of the mythological templates behind the Strike series since early 2021, it was the first time Rowling had acknowledged this publicly. Since the September revelation of this connection by the author and the appearance of the head of Persephone at the end of her Strike9 clues Christmas Charm bracelet, Strike fandom is now on board with the idea. Which on-boarding Nick and John celebrate with this Hearts and Flowers conversation, in which:* Nick reviews the Valentines Day events in the Strike series, the importance of which makes 14 February to Serious Strikers what Halloween is to Harry Potter fans;* John discusses the post American Bar office scene in Troubled Blood that let the cat out of the bag about the Cupid and Psyche myth just beneath the Strellacott romance;* Nick updates that with Rowling's PSAs and charm pointers to the Trials of Psyche in Robin's story;* John lays out how and where Hallmarked Man features Valentine Longcaster, the character with the Cupid name, and a Valentine's Day conflict with dogs to Guard the Gates of Hell (from charting Parts Five and Six);* Nick journeys back to Cuckoo's Calling and explains how Lula Landry's death and Robin's first meeting with Strike are twist on Cupid and Psyche with Venus, Psyche, and Cupid, Hephaestus, and Ares all with their equivalents in Charlotte, Robin, and Cormoran;* John ups the ante of the conversation by bringing in Edmund Spenser and C. S. Lewis, two writers Rowling loves, both of whom wrote stories that turn on Cupid and Psyche, and suggesting that Galbraith, in using the Eros-Anteros distinction of those writers in the Strike series is answering allegorically the core question of human life: whether to focus the soul on the ephemeral body and its desires or on the noetic faculty of soul, the Heart, logos within us;* Nick and John then discuss Robin and Strike's individual relationships Cuckoo to Hallmarked in light of Cupid-False Cupid and taking turns going through the Strike novels with a look at the principal murder victim and murderer and their respective relationships;* John shares the Jungian interpretation of Cupid and Psyche as the mythic representation of feminine actualization, the chrysalis of female identity;* And more!Below are the links to posts on this subject mentioned in their back and forth and to a translation of the original myth. Happy Valentines Day — and stand by for more discussion of Sleep Tight, Evangeline, the Psalter and Persephone Charms, and all things Strike and Mythology with Dimitra Fimi.Links Mentioned in the Valentines Day Celebration Conversation:Rowling Points to Myth of Cupid and Psyche in order to Console Strike Fans Disappointed with Hallmarked Man (8 September 2025, Nick Jeffery)Nick shares the context of Rowling's tweet (fan disappointment!) and the background information about the illustration she chose for it.The Most Pleasant and Delectable Tale of the Marriage of Cupid and Psyche (Apuleius)A translation of the Silver Age Latin tale from Apuleius' Golden Ass.A Mythological Key to Cormoran Strike? The Myth of Eros, Psyche, and Venus (22 April 2021, John Granger)The first post to discuss Rowling's use of this specific myth within Cormoran Strike, it is essential reading and comes in four parts:* a discussion of Rowling's stated beliefs about the soul and how it is the focus of her story-telling,* a review of her psychological artistry in Potter and the post Potter novels and screenplays,* a synopsis of the Eros and Psyche myth, and* a point to point look at the parallels in the story thus far with speculation about novels to come.Robin's Two Perfumes: The Meaning of Philosychos and Narciso (9 June 2021, John Granger)The names of Robin's baseline perfume, Philosychos, and the one she and Strike choose at story's end, Narciso, both point less to the bedroom than to Robin's allegorical, psychological, and mythological role as Psyche in the series.Erich Neumann in his Amor and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine describes this discipline as a “prohibition against pity” which “signifies Psyche's struggle against the feminine nature.” …Psyche's last trial involves her having to confront death, a “marriage” to which she was condemned as a sacrifice at the story's start, a meeting she can only survive by transcending her feminine qualities of nurturing and pity. She must become, if only temporarily, a narcissist to pass through Hades and return to the world of the Sun and to Cupid. The myth, in Jungian lights, is about her transcending the accidental self, here her feminine and sexual relation to Eros or Cupid, for “ego-stability” leading to “individuation,” ascent to the greater, immortal Self.Robin as resident psychologist and loving soul is the Psyche-cipher of the Strike mysteries. She differs from the relatively passive Human Beauty of the myth in her active and determined “struggle against the feminine nature,” her “What. I. Do!” She not only wrestles with her desires for domesticity and maternity in her thinking but stands up to Strike-Cupid in their Valentine's Day Street Fight and demands his respect or at least more considerate behavior. But she is still struggling with her difficulty to be the narcissist rather than the Great Mother when circumstances and her heroine's journey of psychological individuation demand that.Reading Rowling as Myth Maker and Myth Re-Writer: A Conversation with Dr Dimitra FimiNick Jeffery and John Granger converse with Dr Dimitra Fimi about Harry Potter, Cormoran Strike, Tolkien, Jane Eyre, and the Mythological Artistry of J. K. Rowling, Hogwarts Saga to Hallmarked ManThe Hallmarked Man's Mythological Template‘Cupid and Psyche's importance for grasping the depths of Strike 8, from the “necessity” of the Silver Vault and the three men in Robin's life, to spaghetti carbonara and ‘Maid of the Silver Sea'Ink Black Heart: The Mythic Backdrop (10 September 2022, John Granger)What Rowling is depicting in Robin's journey through the events and mystery of Ink Black Heart include a trap set by Venus, one that takes Robin to a personal and professional underworld or hell, her survival and endurance of every temptation by her determination to be steely rather than empathetic, especially with respect to a certain “lame fellow” (!), and her re-surfacing from hell a changed person, one worthy of begrudging Venereal approval (or Zeus' intervention — Rokeby!).Ink Black Heart: Strike as Zeus to Robin's Leda and Cupid to Mads' Psyche (10 November 2022, John Granger)These traditional portrayals of the every person's human and divine aspects, soul and spirit as man and woman in dynamic, cathartic relationship — think Romeo and Juliet, Redcrosse Knight and Una, Cupid and Psyche — are perhaps, with her alchemical symbolism, sequencing, and coloring, Rowling's greatest literary ‘reach' and achievement in the Strike series, albeit one largely lost on her her vast reading audience. The deliberate conjunction-melange of archetypal psychology, mythology, and spiritual allegory in these novels is, especially in combination with her hermetic artistry, intertextual playfulness (Aurora Leigh!), and chiastic structures, testimony to the author being one of the most accomplished and challenging writers of the age in addition to the most popular (and least well understood, even by her fans).Hallmarked Man: Freemasonry and J. K. Rowling (7 February 2024, Nick Jeffery)The Royal Arch degree is unique in England for including the ceremony of “Passing the Veils” symbolising the path to enlightenment that a mason undergoes as he progresses in the craft. Given Peter Rowling's upward social mobility from working class apprentice to engineer and moving from the Bristol suburbs to middle class Tutshill, it isn't beyond reason to wonder if Peter might have been tempted by the social and career advantages that freemasonry might have offered him and exposed a young Joanne to some of the symbolism.Edinburgh, as well as being the home of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, is also home to if not the oldest lodge in the world, then at least the one with the oldest records. Lodge of Edinburgh (Mary's Chapel) No. 1 has minutes of meetings from 31st July 1599. There have long been arguments between this Lodge and the one in Kilwinning on the other coast of Scotland as to which is the oldest. (see IVº of the Rite of Baldwyn above)J. K. Rowling's ‘G-Spot' and ‘Triple Play:' The Lake & Shed Secret of Her Success (21 September 2024, John Granger)I want to try tonight to explain as succinctly — and as provocatively — as possible why I think Rowling's ‘Lake and Shed' metaphorical explanation of how she writes offers a compelling reason for both why she writes and why readers around the world love her novels the way they do. I call this her ‘G-Spot' and ‘Triple Play' because it is her point of singular genius, the defining quality that separates her from contemporary story-tellers, which involves ‘Shed' artistry of three particular literary tools, all subliminal, which work together to achieve her aims.The Hallmarked Man's Flood of Names, Characters, and Plots (22 September 2025, John Granger)Rowling's seven Shed tools — psychomachia, literary alchemy, ring composition, misdirection towards defamiliarization, Christian symbolism, mythology, and inter-intratextuality (writing about reading and writing) — are all about the transformation of the human soul by cathartic experience in the imaginative heart, i.e., our spiritual reorientation. These traditional tools alone don't do it, of course; her capacity for creating archetypal characters that we care about in profound fashion is what gives the tools their grip on the heart.But, if a writer uses these tools in his or her Shed, the game being played and its stakes are not in question. Everything Rowling has written to date, with greater or lesser success (largely dependent on her control of the final product, cough*Warner Brothers*cough), shares this aim. Her global popularity testifies that much more often than not she hits her target to the delight of her readers.I assume this was her aim in Hallmarked Man. It's early days on the full exegesis of Strike8 in light of Rowling's Shed tools, Lake springs, and Golden Threads, but there are encouraging signs. My third reading of the book included my first ‘Aha!' moments with respect to the mythological template of the series, the Shed tool Rowling was openly urging her readers to think about in her recent Cupid and Psyche tweet.Jungian Interpretations of ‘Cupid and Psyche:'* Erich Neumann: Amor and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine (A Commentary on the Tale by Apuleius)* Paul Diel: Symbolism in Greek Mythology: Human Desire and Its Transformations (A “psychological study of the symbols condensed in the fate of the mythological hero”)* Robert A.

In this episode of the MAX Afterburner Podcast, host Matthew “Whiz” Buckley sits down with Bridger Lee Jensen, founder of Singularism, a Utah-based entheogenic church currently engaged in a landmark legal battle with the state of Utah.Whiz, who founded Sacred Warrior Fellowship last year, shares how he discovered Singularism and was immediately drawn to their fight to defend religious freedom at its core. Together, Whiz and Bridger take a deep dive into the legal case, the constitutional foundations of religious liberty in America, and why the right to sacramental communion lies at the heart of what this country was built to protect.The conversation explores how entheogenic sacraments like psilocybin are not about recreation or escape, but about healing, transformation, and direct communion with God. Both men share their personal religious backgrounds, the faith traditions they were raised in, and the moments that ultimately led them to step outside institutional frameworks and into their current missions.This episode challenges listeners to reconsider where God is encountered, who gets to decide what counts as legitimate faith, and why so many seekers are finding profound healing and reconnection with the Divine within through sacramental practice.This is a powerful, timely, and deeply human conversation that speaks to veterans, seekers, legal minds, and anyone concerned about the future of religious freedom in America. A must-listen episode.To learn more or support their ongoing legal fight, visit singularism.org.Return Home.

Prayer for Families, Leaders and missing children

Emergency officials told committee members Tuesday they’re prioritizing infrastructure repairs and cleanup over relocation efforts in the aftermath of ex-Typhoon Halong, the October storm that devastated two villages in Western Alaska: Kipnuk and Kwigillingok.

While polls say the majority of Turkish people welcome the departure of Syrians displaced by the civil war, Turkey's business owners are feeling the pinch with the loss of their workforce. With the end of the Syrian civil war, Turkey claims that nearly a million refugees who were living there have already returned home. Their departure is being welcomed by the Turkish government, amid growing public animosity over the presence of more than 3 million refugees. But for many Turkish companies, Syrians are an economic lifeline – as seen in Gaziantep, an industrial city close to the Syrian border.  The Inci Boya company is one of hundreds of small factories and workshops in the city. With a couple of dozen workers, hundreds of pieces of furniture are spray-painted each day. With long hours in air thick with dust, it's arduous, dirty work. As in many factories in Gaziantep, Syrians make up a large share of the workforce.  “I can't get people from my own community to work in my sector,” explains owner Halil Yarabay. "Many workshop owners and many businesses are unfortunately experiencing this.” He blames societal changes, “Our children, our youth... they consider such work beneath them. They consider they've failed in their family's eyes by working with their hands as a furniture maker or a mechanic.” French journalist arrested in Turkey while covering pro-Kurdish protest released Realities of returning But local authorities claim nearly 100,000 Syrians have already left the city – including including several who worked at Inci Boya. During a welcome tea break, the topic of going home is on everyone's tongue. Ahmed Hac Hussein has been working there for more than five years. He, too, is thinking of leaving. “Many people are returning,  I have a relative who moves a family back to Syria every day,” he said. “For me, I lived in Aleppo for 35 years. I have so many friends there, I haven't seen them for 14 years. I have three sisters there, and I haven't seen them either. I want to go.” However, Hussein, who lost his home in the war, acknowledges that the economic realities in Syria make returning difficult. “You need to have money to pay the monthly rent. You need a job, but there is no work. My brother went back to Aleppo, but he says business is too slow.” Listening is Hussein's son, Ibrahim, who started working here a year ago after leaving school. He feels differently: “I grew up here; this place became my second home. I love it here a lot. I was two years old when I came here, and I never went back. I don't want to go back.”   Demographic time bomb   Turkish companies such as Inci Boya will be hoping many Syrians feel the same as Ibrahim, claims Atilla Yesilada, Turkey's economic analyst for consultancy Global Source Partners. He says around 900,000 Syrians work in small businesses and factories across Turkey. “They've filled all the low-paying jobs. Without Syrians, business owners say they'll go bankrupt, since that keeps costs down." This reliance on Syrian workers, and their departure, also comes as Turkey faces a demographic time bomb. “The birth rate has declined substantially. The Turkish birth rate is 1.5, and you know, replacement is 2.1," Yesilada added. He warns the outlook for Turkey is grim, given the experience of other countries. "[The birthrate is] coming down significantly, and it's been going down for 20 years.… [the example of] China shows that there is nothing you can do about it.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently called on families to "serve the nation" by having at least three children. His minister of family and social services claimed nearly half of Turkish families didn't have children. To attract workers, visa and work permit restrictions were lifted last year for all Turkic Central Asian nations. Turkey blocks calls for regime change in Iran as protests escalate Rising costs But at the Inci Boya factory, owner Halil Yarabay is already counting the cost of Syrians leaving, and says a bidding war to keep these workers is beginning. "Labour costs are rising. Employees we paid 10,000 TL a week now cost up to 15,000," he said. Some larger companies in Gaziantep – such as Tat Holding, which makes furniture and sweets among many other products – are even considering following their workers back to Syria, says its CEO Salih Balta.  "Syria is close to Gaziantep and allows us to produce and export at up to 35 percent lower cost," he explained. Balta claims that producing in Syria – a member of the Arab League – would allow his company to export tax-free to 17 Arab countries under its free trade agreement. “For us, the Gulf countries are a very important market," he said. Gaziantep, along with many cities across Turkey, has seen protests against Syrian incomers. Several polls have found that the majority of people want them to return. But this could ultimately prove a double-edged sword, as businesses face growing economic pain over the loss of their Syrian workforce.

ASAP Rocky finally released Don't Be Dumb, with fans widely reading track four “Stole Ya Flow” as a pointed Drake diss accusing him of stealing Rocky's style and throwing subliminal shots tied to Rihanna, though Rocky later said it's “whoever feel like it's about them.” Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly hired crisis manager Liza Ravenscroft as a preemptive move amid fears of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's potential UK return, with reports framing it as damage control over security, public perception, and a possible royal “crisis.” Kai Cenat says he's taking a break from streaming to fully focus on fashion design, revealing he's already sewn his own hoodies and is committed to developing the craft long-term rather than launching a quick brand.

In this episode, Matthew “Whiz” Buckley delivers one of his most unfiltered and important debriefs to date.He opens by addressing the Somalian fraud uncovered in Minnesota, and the deep outrage it ignites in him as a combat veteran. While millions are exploited through systemic fraud, countless veterans continue to fight exhausting, dehumanizing battles to access the benefits they were promised for their service. Buckley makes one thing clear: these benefits are not handouts. They are obligations. Earned. Owed.The conversation then shifts to a year-end debrief of No Fallen Heroes Foundation and what 2025 represented. Buckley reflects on the lives impacted, the healing witnessed, and the responsibility that comes with holding space for those carrying war, trauma, addiction, and loss. He also previews what lies ahead in 2026, outlining the next phase of growth, reach, and mission expansion as the foundation continues its work to bring real healing home to veterans and their families.The second half of the episode turns deeply personal and profoundly human.Buckley shares a raw debrief of his own spiritual awakening and why it became an inseparable part of his healing journey. He speaks to the spiritual injuries that so often go unnamed, especially among veterans, and challenges the idea that healing can be complete without addressing the deeper questions of identity, meaning, and connection. Awakening, he explains, is not a sign of being broken, but a process of remembering what was always there beneath the trauma.This episode stands at the intersection of accountability, service, and transformation. It is a call to honor veterans not just with words, but with action. And it is an invitation for anyone on a healing path to understand that spiritual awakening is not separate from recovery. It is often the doorway through it.This is not a comfortable conversation.It is a necessary one.Return Home.

This is a call to return HOME. This is a call to get back to the original intention God had in mind when He created us.  We must walk in love, authenticity, truthfulness, humility, and in the power and wisdom God gives us.In this episode, I share about a situation I did not expect to happen after a speaking engagement, but I am glad it did. It was necessary. It was my breakthrough moment. Sometimes our greatest weaknesses can become our greatest strengths if we are willing to reveal our scars to the world so that others may find beauty within themselves.I pray this podcast episode greatly blesses you all. And I hope to see many of you one day soon inside the necessary retreat. We are moving as ONE global family to walk this Necessary Journey together.

This is the audio from a livestream video we hosted with Hala Sabbah from The Sameer Project on December 3rd, 2025. Hala returned to the program to talk about life in Gaza nearly two months into the so-called "ceasefire." We spoke about the realities on the ground and the needs of people in Gaza right now, what is getting into the strip and what is not, and how the Sameer Project is working within the current conditions in Gaza. We also talk about the need for continued organizing, boycotts, and direct action against the zionist entity. And we spoke about creative ways people can fundraise for Sameer Project and other local groups operating on the ground in Gaza. RETURN HOME x The Sameer Project  Sameer Project's linktree 

In this profoundly moving episode of MAX Afterburner, Whiz sits down with Dario Marchena, an Afghanistan combat veteran and law enforcement officer whose post-military life was defined - and nearly destroyed -by a single radio call.During an ambush, Dario ordered a helicopter to engage two vehicles fleeing the scene. One held enemy fighters. The other carried a mother, father, and their two young children. The pilot's voice came over the radio:“Are you sure you want me to engage?”A question that would echo in Dario's soul for decades.After the incident, Dario fell into a 19-year coma of the spirit - alive, but unable to feel alive. The silence swallowed him. The guilt estranged him from his own children. He served as a law enforcement officer but carried a wound that no uniform or training could protect him from.Then he saw Whiz on TV.He discovered the No Fallen Heroes Foundation.And he took a courageous step into a Sacred Warrior Fellowship entheogenic retreat, receiving the Sacrament of Psilocybin.What happened next is nothing short of miraculous.Dario not only experienced deep, divine healing - he reunited with the very family harmed that day. They forgave him. They told him they were at peace. In that moment, decades of shame, guilt, and agony lifted. He was healed in a way he never believed possible.Today, Dario has gone from hardened skeptic to apostle for healing, urging veterans, first responders, and anyone suffering trauma to reclaim their lives through safe, guided, spiritual communion.This episode will shake you, break you, and help put you back together. It is proof that healing is real - and that it is never too late.Share this with someone who needs hope.Healing is possible.Return Home.
