For most of history, men ruled the world. But for 3 decades in the late 1500s two powerful women dominated Europe. Catherine de Medici was Queen of France and Elizabeth I was Queen of England. Neither one was expected to be Queen. But both bid their time until they could seize power. They were brilliant, dynamic, determined, and sometimes ruthless leaders. But even with all they had in common, their differences made them fierce opponents. Catherine was a catholic, a wife and a mother, while Elizabeth was protestant and single by choice. Dozens of books and dramas have focused on the epic rivalry between Elizabeth and her northern neighbor, Mary Queen of Scots. And while she is an important part of the story, Elizabeth's relationship with her greater nemesis, Catherine has long been forgotten. However, season 2 of the Starz series Serpent Queen, and the recent book Blood, Fire & Gold by Estelle Paranque have resurrected the historic frienemies. So let's examine the parallel lives and epic rivalry between Elizabeth I and Catherine de Medici. Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Joel Parkinson is a Gold Coast surfing icon; a CT standout with 11 CT wins, 3 Hawaiian Triple Crowns, 4 World Runner-Ups, the 2012 World Champion, and is globally-renowned as one of the most stylish and consistent competitors in modern surfing history.  In this year's first episode of The Lineup, he reflects on the journey that defined his career. Parko opens with the grassroots of Australian surfing, from Snapper Rocks Boardriders' 60+ year history to why club culture remains the backbone of the sport. He rewinds the tape back to when he was a young 11-year-old grom signing with Billabong for discounted boardshorts–and three decades later, still part of the team, a partnership that endured the ups and downs of brand-athlete relationships in surfing. He reveals how close he came to jumping ship to Rip Curl as a teenager, the jaw-dropping offer from Quiksilver in his early 20s, and why loyalty ultimately won.  Parko reflects on sharing a team with legends like Mark Occhilupo, Taj Burrow, and Luke Egan, and what it was like witnessing Andy Irons at his peak during the Blue Horizon era. He also shares the unforgettable story of Andy claiming the top room at the Billabong house in Hawaii—rankings be damned. The conversation shifts to life on Tour: traveling with his wife and kids long before it was common, the emotional toll of chasing a World Title while raising a family, and why his wife “deserves more of a World Title” than he does.  Parko opens up about nearly quitting in 2011 after a brutal New York event, how letting go reshaped his mindset, and the constant mental weight surfers carry when fighting for a Top 5. He dives into his rivalry and lifelong friendship with Mick Fanning and Dean Morrison, addresses the “style” narrative that followed him throughout his career, and gets deep into board talk—from early DHD days to his long partnership with JS Industries, including the mythical board that went 17 heats undefeated.

The last round of SEC expansion re-established the Texas-Texas A&M rivalry, but conference realignment has taken more than it's given on the rivalry front. Not only that, but the SEC's elimination of divisions also will stop some rivalries from occurring annually. Both inside and outside of the SEC, games that were once part of the fabric of college football are no longer played every year. On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams highlight eight rivalry games that they'd wish to save on an annual basis. These are games that have either already gone away or series that will be interrupted in the near future. Several of the rivalries have SEC ties, but they also dip into Big Ten and Big 12 terrain to restore some lost rivalries. Also on this episode, Toppmeyer and Adams react to Joey Aguilar losing his bid for another season as Tennessee's quarterback. One host takes up for the NCAA's quest to enforce its eligibility rules, while the other host has less sympathy for the NCAA.

Episode Description: “Which city would you choose if Austin could offer a nonstop flight anywhere in the world?” ✈️ That's the question fueling this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where travel dreams, quirky stories, and international rivalries take center stage.

Big changes are coming to Ohio high school sports. Several schools just announced a major realignment that will create a new 18-school conference spanning multiple counties. This move is sending shockwaves through as many as four or five other leagues, forcing schools to scramble to find new conference homes. Local rivalries that have existed for decades could vanish, leaving communities and teams to rethink competition, travel, and scheduling.In this episode, we break down the impact on the Eastern Buckeye Conference, which had been a tight-knit league for over 40 years. With nearby schools now moving to the new conference, teams will have to navigate new opponents, longer travel, and potential gaps in their schedules. The days of consistent local matchups, community pride, and accessible games may be fading, and it raises questions about how high school sports coverage can adapt.We also discuss the broader implications: How will these moves affect basketball, football, and other sports? What role does money and competitive balance play in these decisions? Some schools are looking for leagues where they can win consistently, but others are left with difficult choices. Independent schedules can be tough, requiring 20+ games in basketball and 10+ in football without a set league.Coverage challenges are another concern. Local papers and sports departments face budget constraints, long travel distances, and limited staffing, which makes covering games harder than ever. Streaming services are helping, but access and quality can vary across the state. Could Ohio High School Athletic Association or regional hubs provide better coverage? How can communities continue to follow local athletes when leagues are so spread out?From Stark County to Tuscarawas and beyond, these shifts are reshaping the landscape of Ohio high school sports. Whether it's preserving tradition, maintaining competitive balance, or adjusting to modern media coverage, the changes are worth a closer look for fans, parents, and student-athletes alike.Check out my work at https://www.cleveland.com/staff/cpugh/ and support the podcast at https://cash.app/$chrispugh3Get your 2026 Topps Baseball Series 1 Factory Sealed Mega Box here:https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/mlb-merchandise/trading-cards/2026-topps-baseball-series-1-factory-sealed-mega-box/o-2309+t-81002141+d-017450348+f-283047133+z-9-4014397671?irclickid=3jBWaF05pxyZWGi0isRWd0EjUkux5cQ3018yUo0&irgwc=1&afsrc=1&_s=afl_impact&utm_source=Impact&utm_medium=affiliates&SSAID=5163860#OhioHighSchoolSports, #StarkCounty, #HighSchoolSports, #HighSchoolFootball, #HighSchoolBasketball, #EasternBuckeyeConference, #HSRealignment, #LocalRivalries, #SportsCoverage, #OhioSports, #YouthSports, #HighSchoolAthletics, #SchoolSports, #LeagueChanges, #HSLeagues, #CommunitySports, #AthleteCoverage, #SportsNews, #OhioHighSchools, #SportsPodcast

As debate intensifies over the unraveling of the U.S.-led international order, sparked by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's stark remarks at Davos, small states are being forced to rethink how they survive and advance in an increasingly fragmented global system. Carney captured the anxiety shared by many global leaders when he bluntly declared that the U.S.-led international order is over. In this episode of the China Global South Podcast, Eric is joined by Sagar Prasai, an independent advisor to international development agencies, and Mandakini D. Surie, an independent development consultant with over two decades of experience across governments, NGOs, and think tanks. The discussion draws on their recent report examining how small states in South Asia are navigating a rapidly emerging multipolar world shaped in part by China's expanding role. Building on their research, Prasai and Surie unpack the strategic calculations unfolding across Asia—dynamics that closely mirror the pressures facing smaller and developing countries across the Global South as they adapt to a shifting balance of power.

Applying "calculated risk," Nimitz overruled subordinates to strike directly at Kwajalein in the Marshalls, a decision that proved successful. He also gave Marc Mitscher a second chance, allowing him to eventually become a legendary carrier commander despite Spruance'slingering reservations. NUMBER 5 1945 OKINAWA
