Brice and Brooke are back at the Pitstop, and Amazing Race Season 38, Episode 8 had the teams scrambling, searching, and straight-up cracking under the pressure! Bucharest was the backdrop, but those giant eggs were the real stars as racers hunted through piles of painted shells in one of the season's funniest and most frustrating Roadblocks yet. Between hauling oversized eggs across the park, navigating Romania without taxis, and trying to keep cool while the Race turned up the heat, this leg delivered tension, teamwork, and a whole lot of comedy. It's messy, it's egg-centric, and it's exactly the kind of Amazing Race chaos we live for — let's get into it!

He was born in Ukraine in 1722, one of the many children of a priest. He attended the Ecclesiastical Academy in Kiev, but was disappointed by the worldliness, love of ease and western theological climate that he found there.   After four years he left the school and embarked on a search for a spiritual father and a monastery where he could live in poverty. He eventually found wise spiritual guides in Romania, where many of the Russian monks had fled after Peter the Great's reforms. From there he traveled to the Holy Mountain. Spiritual life was at a low ebb there also, and Plato (the name he had been given as a novice) became a hermit, devoting his days to prayer and reading the Holy Scriptures and the writings of the Fathers. After four years, a visiting Elder from Romania tonsured him a monk under the name Paisius, and advised him to live with other monks to avoid the spiritual dangers of taking up the solitary life too soon. A few brethren from Romania arrived, seeking to make him their spiritual father, but as he felt unworthy to take on this task, all of them lived in poverty and mutual obedience. Others joined them from Romania and the Slavic countries, and in time they took up the cenobitic life, with Paisius as their reluctant abbot.   In 1763 the entire community (grown to sixty-five in number) left the Holy Mountain and returned to Romania. They were given a monastery where they adopted the Athonite rule of life. Abbot Paisius introduced the Jesus Prayer and other aspects of hesychasm to the monastic life there: before this time, they had been used mostly by hermits. The services of the Church were conducted fully, with the choirs chanting alternately in Slavonic and Romanian. The monks confessed to their Elder every evening so as not to let the sun go down on their anger, and a brother who held a grudge against another was forbidden to enter the church, or even to say the Lord's Prayer, until he had settled it.   The monastic brotherhood eventually grew to more than a thousand, divided into two monasteries. Visitors and pilgrims came from Russia, Greece and other lands to experience its holy example.   St Paisius had learned Greek while on Mt Athos, and undertook to produce accurate Slavonic translations of the writings of many of the Fathers of the Church. The Greek Philokalia had been published not long before, and St Paisius produced a Slavonic version that was read throughout the Slavic Orthodox world. (This is the Philokalia that the pilgrim carries with him in The Way of a Pilgrim).   The Saint reposed in peace in 1794, one year after the publication of his Slavonic Philokalia. The Synaxarion summarizes his influence: "These translations, and the influence of the Saint through the activity of his disciples in Russia, led to a widespread spiritual renewal, and to the restoration of traditional monastic life there which lasted until the Revolution of 1917."

When tax officials and law enforcement do manage to recover assets and money from criminals, what happens next? How are those seizures used to benefit taxpayers and society? We think there are lots of missed opportunities here and the Taxcast goes to West Yorkshire in the North of England to see social reuse of seized assets in action. It's pretty heartening. Plus: President Donald Trump has pardoned convicted money launderer Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire founder of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. We speak to Scott Greytak of Transparency International US about what this means for the financial integrity of the US financial system and the ramifications for the rest of the world.

In this episode of The Becket Cook Show, Becket sits down with Vlad, a young man who was convinced he was born gay and lived that identity for years—secretly, painfully, and hopelessly. Growing up in rural Romania with a nominal faith, Vlad slowly fell into pornography, hookup culture, and deep isolation. His life spiraled in Germany where depression and addiction took over, even while he still called himself a “Christian.” But then something unexpected happened. A testimony on this very channel interrupted everything. That video led to real Bible study, real confession, real community, and ultimately—a real encounter with Jesus Christ. Vlad moved to London, walked into a global Christian gathering, and there, surrounded by believers, he finally understood the cross. He chose repentance, baptism, and a new life in Christ. Since that moment, everything is different. Temptations still exist, but he is no longer alone, no longer hopeless, and no longer defined by his past. This is a story about identity, deception, love, spiritual warfare, and the power of God to rescue anyone. Share this with someone who needs hope.

Transmission capacity on the Romanian-Moldovan border was overbid at quarterly auctions held in November as traders have been competing to sell gas to Moldova this winter. Only five years ago such a scenario would have been unthinkable. The country was fully reliant on Russian gas and depended heavily on Russian-controlled Transnistria for electricity supplies. After multiple energy crises triggered by Russia since then, Moldova has fast-tracked the implementation of EU-aligned reforms. Within less than six months it will start its gradual liberalisation of the gas sector and by 2027 it expects to couple its electricity spot market with that of the EU. However, as Constantin Borosan, director of energy regulator ANRE tells ICIS journalist Aura Sabadus, there are still many challenges ahead. These include ensuring the correct framework for functional power and gas markets, expanding the border gas capacity with Romania and Ukraine to facilitate regional transit and thinking long-term about the future of Transnistria's energy arrangements.    

Gardens of Christiane. The Palestine From Before. A sound piece by Anamaria Pravicencu and Manja Ristić, 2025. * In the shade of Palestinian gardens, memory once bloomed — fragrant with olive groves and the quiet gestures of care. These were spaces of closeness, of which Christiane Dabdoub Nasser recalls inviting us into her childhood and Palestinian culture from another time, where the Mediterranean breathed through shared rituals of tending and living in harmony with the land. Rooted in practices of cultivation, refuge, and sensory proximity, such intimacy has been systematically disrupted by the colonial project of the Israeli state, which reconfigured land into instruments of control and dispossession. Today, the relational fabric of Palestinian landscapes lies fractured — yet the soil remembers. * Through powerful storytelling, family history, and enduring friendship, this piece gathers what remains: the rustle of leaves under siege, the echo of footsteps in forbidden groves, the persistence of tenderness in a terrain marked by erasure. It traces how ecological and cultural memory endure despite spatial fragmentation and political violence. * Manja Ristić engages with sounds gathered from war-torn landscapes and towns across the former Yugoslavia, from WWII memorial sites to intoxicated rivers — bearing witness to how the land carries its wounds in silence, while the echoes of war still tremble through every pore of the heart. * Concept and direction: Anamaria Pravicencu/ Storytelling by Christiane Dabdoub Nasser, with the support of Maya/ Sound design and composition: Manja Ristić/ Presentation text: Manja Ristić/ Mixing: La Plant Studio, Belgrade/ A production of SEMI SILENT and Tranzit/ Bucharest * The first version was presented in the frame of To Give a House the Form of an Event, a program by Tranzit/ Bucharest at the Experimental Station for Research on Art and Life, Silistea Snagovului, Romania, June 2025. * The present form, with the invaluable contribution of Manja Ristić, was premiered at Orizont Sonor festival, in the Botanical Garden of Bucharest, September 2025.

Send us a textIn this episode, we chat with the extraordinary Aida Tomescu, one of Australia's most respected abstract painters. Born in Romania and based in Sydney, Aida has spent her career exploring the emotional and structural possibilities of paint, building a language that's as physical as it is poetic.We talk about her process: the scraping, layering, and reworking that give her paintings their dense, luminous surfaces. She describes painting as a living conversation, one that demands patience, trust, and deep attention.A major theme in our discussion is the importance of form and the relationships between all the elements within a painting. For Aida, nothing sits in isolation; every shape, colour, and mark holds a relationship to the next. It's this internal rhythm, this careful balancing of tensions, that gives her work its remarkable sense of harmony and presence. We also spoke with Aida about her teaching career, she taught at National Art School for twenty years, and several of our previous guests have told us what an amazing teacher she was. This conversation is a deep dive into the craft and philosophy of painting — into what it means to spend a lifetime painting. Thanks so much Aida, we loved talking to you. Aida's show opens at Fox Jensen Gallery on 15th November 2025. Aida is represented by Fox Jensen Gallery in Australia , Fox Jensen McCrory in NZ, and Flowers Gallery London and Hong Kong.

Some riders are planners, while others seem to thrive amid chaos. Israel Gillette fits into that second group. He grew up in Tennessee, working in his father's cabinet shop, and somehow that evolved into a life that has taken him between Romania, racing, carpentry, and motorcycle riding across continents. When we featured him on the show in 2023, he'd already experienced his share of close calls — time in jail, a bond set at thirty thousand dollars, and a border crossing in South America that ended with gunfire. Yet he still said it was the best thing he'd ever done with his life. Adventure, stubbornness, and perhaps a bit of trouble have shaped both his riding and his way of life.

Welcome back to the Ties That Bind. This week, we are looking further south along NATO's eastern flank at Romania.Romania has long advocated for increased NATO and US presence in the Black Sea. Since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the importance of the Black Sea and Romania's role have been reflected in an increased NATO presence and multiple defense and infrastructure investments. The country has been a critical actor in helping the Ukrainian war effort, serving as a logistics and military training hub, and securing Ukrainian grain exports in the first years of the war.In this episode, we'll hear from three Romanian experts about the country's role in NATO and Black Sea security, its defense investments, and plans to address strategic infrastructure challenges that have far-reaching significance for the alliance. We'll also hear about what's happening on the domestic front, notably the long-term repercussions of the annulled 2024 presidential election. While public opinion shows high support for NATO, Romania and its neighbors continue to be targeted by long-term Russian influence campaigns, and we'll hear how these are affecting social attitudes towards NATO and Western institutions.Featured guests: * Antonia Colibasanu, Senior Analyst, Geopolitical Futures, FPRI Senior Fellow* Eusebiu Slavitescu, European defense analyst, former Romanian MFA* Alina Bargaoanu, Communications expert, University of Political Studies and Public Administration, BucharestListen to the previous episode on Poland in NATO here.

 Omul de afaceri Fănel Bogos care incerca sa evite sanctiuni pentru una din fermele sale de pui, a fost retinut, alaturi de alte 3 persoane pentru santaj si cumparare de influenta. La sfarsitul lunii septembrie, acesta a ajuns in biroului lui Bolojan de la guvern, introdus de liderul PNL Vaslui. Trezorierul partidului a invocat chestiuni politice ce trebuiau discutate. Cat de normal e ca oameni politici sa vina in biroul primului ministru cu afaceristi care ar dori sa le fie rezolvate problemele economice, incercam sa ne lamurim in aceasta seara.    Nicușor Dan: ”Reînarmarea nu este o alegere, este o necesitate” Afirmația a fost făcută de șeful statului, care a participat , alături de secretarul general al NATO, la București, la summitul ”NATO-Industry Forum”, eveniment care reuneşte peste 800 de participanţi din 26 state aliate şi partenere, precum şi peste 300 de companii din industria de apărare. "Ameninţarea rusă nu se încheie odată cu terminarea războiului. Rusia va deveni o forţă de destabilizare în Europa şi în lume. Nu putem fi naivi, trebuie să fim pregătiţi", a punctat si Mark Rutte. Un rezumat al declaratiilor mai tarziu.  Avem o problemă semnificativă de siguranță a infrastructurii, indică un raport al Asociației Energia Inteligentă În Romania se inregistreaza de 100 de ori mai multe victime raportat la kilometrii de retea de distributie a gazelor decat in tarile din Europa de Vest. Accidente precum cel din cartierul Rahova ar putea fi prevenite prin masuri mai eficiente de intretinere si educatie a consumatorilor.

Sandra Petrignani"Carissimo Dottor Jung"Neri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itUn fiume da guardare alla finestra e un romanzo da scrivere è tutto ciò di cui Egle Corsani ha bisogno, da sempre. E ora, seduta nella veranda della sua nuova casa affacciata sul Tevere, è davvero pronta a tornare al libro che ha iniziato su Carl Gustav Jung. La scintilla è scoccata dopo essersi imbattuta nella figura tormentata e conturbante di Christiana Morgan, paziente di Jung degli anni Venti e sua seguace. Così immagina un ritorno di lei, trent'anni dopo la prima terapia, a Küsnacht, alla casa sulla sponda del lago di Zurigo che Jung stesso aveva costruito. Christiana vuole rivedere un'ultima volta l'uomo che aveva spento le sue paure, aiutandola a conoscersi e a perdonarsi. Lady Morgana, così la chiamava lui, lo trova come lo ha lasciato, la pipa fra i denti, lo sguardo arguto sopra gli occhiali cerchiati d'oro, solo la lieve curvatura delle spalle e il bastone a reggere il corpo ancora possente nonostante gli anni inesorabili. Perché, forse, ancora una volta, Jung saprà cambiare il suo destino. Come in uno specchio d'acqua, che culla e annega, che dà vita e la sottrae, Egle si guarda riflessa nelle pagine che si riempiono: nelle domande esistenziali, nella solitudine, negli aneliti di felicità di Christiana; nella pacata sicurezza, nel distacco partecipe di Carl. E in quel passo a due, la scrittrice trova una chiave per affrontare la sciagurata nostalgia per ciò che non ha più. Con il suo inconfondibile tocco narrativo, Sandra Petrignani mette in scena il folgorante incontro finale tra il padre della psicologia del profondo – contraddittorio, paterno, impavido e incosciente dietro il monumento edificato dalla fama – e la donna incurante delle convenzioni borghesi che ne avrebbe seguito le orme.L'aveva fatta sedere sul divanetto e aveva avvicinato la poltrona piegandosi verso di lei e prendendole le mani come una volta, l'immancabile anello copiato a Freud fra le dita invecchiate. Si era proteso verso di lei, mentre lei si protendeva verso di lui.Sandra Petrignani è nata a Piacenza. Ha lavorato al quotidiano «Il Messaggero», e poi al settimanale «Panorama». Tra i suoi numerosi libri: Navigazioni di Circe, La scrittrice abita qui, Dolorose considerazioni del cuore, Marguerite, Addio a Roma e La Corsara. Ritratto di Natalia Ginzburg, in cinquina al Premio Strega. I suoi libri sono stati tradotti in Francia, Germania, Inghilterra, Spagna, Giappone, Polonia, Svezia, Romania, Slovenia e Serbia. Vive a Roma, con lunghi soggiorni in una casa nella campagna umbra, non lontana da Amelia, zona d'origine del padre. Ha quattro cani.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Silicon Bites Ep264 - Day 1,349 - 2025-11-03 | Washington trims forces in NATO's front line member state, causing concern in some quarters, and signalling weakness and withdrawal in the face of a revanchist Russia. This broad geopolitical canvas unfolds as Moscow hammers Ukraine's grid and Kyiv hits back, deep and hard, at Russia's fuel arteries. Drones stalk a base in Belgian thought to host U.S. nukes, China's refiners blink on Russian oil, and Brussels looks for a way to keep Ukraine's accession moving — whether Orbán tries to throw a spanner in the works or not. Is the U.S. easing off Europe's front line? Romania confirmed the first cut of U.S. troops on NATO's eastern flank — ending a rotating brigade spread across several countries and lowering numbers at Mihail Kogălniceanu air base to 1,000.

Da, este multă incertitudine în mediul de afaceri, în societate, în general, în aceste momente.Consider că cel mai isteț lucru pe care îl poți face este să blochezi tot acest zgomot de fond, astfel încât să-ți folosești timpul pentru a-ți întări mintea, corpul, sufletul.Vremurile dificile sunt cele care îți arată cât de bine ești antrenat, cât de mult poți scoate la iveală eroul care ești tu, în fiecare zi. Pentru că ai avut grijă de tine, ți-ai acordat atenție, ți-ai protejat mediul și mentalitatea. Și, mai presus de toate, nu ai uitat că maestrul nu este nimic altcineva decât un student care continuă să învețe și să se dezvolte zilnic.Un episod despre mintea de antreprenor și despre lecțiile învățate în peste 10 ani de antreprenoriat.---Ți-a plăcut?

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Trump's new work requirements for welfare recipients, job losses from the AI revolution, major trade developments with China, new drone defenses for the Pacific, and the growing risks of a satellite disaster in orbit. Work for Welfare Begins: Starting tomorrow, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 65 without dependents must work at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid under Trump's "Triple B Bill." Exemptions include parents of young children and residents in areas with high unemployment. Bryan warns that states managing these programs may soon raise local taxes to offset new administrative costs. AI Cuts Human Jobs: Amazon and other major tech firms are laying off software engineers as AI begins writing code and automating support work. Bryan calls it "a quiet industrial revolution that's going to reshape America's middle class for decades." Trump and Xi Trade Gains and Tensions: China agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans this season, with promises to expand purchases later if relations hold steady. But Xi refused to curb Russian oil imports, signaling Beijing's intent to prolong the war in Ukraine. New U.S. Drone System — The X-BAT: A cutting-edge drone platform called the X-BAT can launch vertically, operate without runways, and land itself like a reusable rocket. Bryan calls it "a game-changer for a future war in the Pacific." A Coming Satellite Crisis: With 100,000 satellites expected in orbit by 2030, experts warn of potential collisions and cascading debris — the "Kessler Syndrome." Bryan explains how one accident could take down global communications and cripple modern life. Venezuela Airstrikes Under Review: Trump is considering airstrikes against Venezuelan drug ports and airfields tied to the Cartel de los Soles. Analysts believe the move could topple Nicolás Maduro and restore democracy under opposition leader María Corina Machado. Europe's Migration Backlash: Germany and Sweden face outrage over migrant crime after courts refused to deport rapists from Eritrea. Bryan highlights how "suicidal empathy" — compassion that undermines security — is destabilizing Western nations. Ukraine's Strain and Russia's Weakness: Russia cut interest rates to ease its stagnant economy while Ukraine faces mass draft dodging as 100,000 young men flee to Europe. Trump responded by reducing U.S. troop levels in Romania to refocus on the Pacific and Latin America. Crisis in Mali: Al Qaeda rebels have surrounded Mali's capital as the U.S. orders citizens to evacuate. Bryan warns that Ukraine's secret aid to jihadist groups could backfire and lead to a new Taliban-style regime in West Africa. Listener Mail — The Morality of Espionage: Bryan answers questions about ethics inside the CIA, sharing personal reflections on moral judgment, mentorship, and the gray zones of intelligence work. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump welfare work requirements Triple B Bill, Amazon AI job cuts software layoffs, Trump Xi China soybean trade, X-BAT drone vertical launch defense, Kessler Syndrome satellite collision risk, Venezuela airstrike Cartel de los Soles, Germany Sweden migrant crime backlash, Russia Ukraine draft exodus Romania troops, Mali AQ ISIS rebellion evacuation, CIA morality ethics Bryan Dean Wright

True Crime Tuesday presents: Sisters In Death: The Black Dahlia, The Prairie Heiress, and Their Hunter with Producer/ Network Executive/Director/Creator/Author. Eli Frankel! Who killed the Black Dahlia? In this eye-opening shocker, an award-winning producer, true-crime researcher, and Hollywood insider finally solves the greatest - and most gruesome - murder mystery of the twentieth century just before its 80th anniversary. In January 1947, the bisected body of Elizabeth Short, completely drained of blood, was discovered in an undeveloped lot in Los Angeles. Its gruesome mutilations led to a firestorm of publicity, city-wide panic, and an unprecedented number of investigative paths led by the LAPD—all dead ends. The Black Dahlia murder remained an unsolved mystery for over seventy years. Six years earlier and sixteen hundred miles away, another woman's life had ended in a similarly horrific manner. Leila Welsh was an ambitious, educated, popular, and socially connected beauty. Though raised modestly on a prairie farm, she was heiress to her Kansas City family's status and wealth. On a winter morning in 1941, Leila's butchered body was found in her bedroom bearing the marks of unspeakable trauma. One victim faded into obscurity. The other became notorious. Both had in common a killer whose sadistic mind was a labyrinth of dark secrets. On Today's TCT, Eli Frankel joins us to talk about why he believes he has found the definitive killer in the Black Dahlia case after five grueling years of research. Eli also makes his case and draws the parallels between the two girls, not just in the similar ways they were killed, but in the one person they had in common that they both knew! and another interesting theory comes up during the show as to why the Black Dahlia Case stalled out and went cold!

Author Tui Snyder joins Jim to explore some of the world's most extraordinary burial sites and the stories they tell. From marble sculptures depicting a lover's final farewell to wooden crosses painted with cheeky epitaphs in Romania, Tui reveals how art, humor, and faith intertwine in graveyards across the globe. Together they discuss the evolution of cemetery art — from the grand monuments of the Victorian era to today's simpler markers — and what those changes reveal about how we view life and death. Tui also shares highlights from her travels to places like Milan's Cimitero Monumentale, where thousands of life-size sculptures turn the cemetery into an open-air museum. It's a moving, fascinating conversation about the beauty and meaning found in the world's “amazing graves.” You can find Around The World In 80 Graves at Amazon: https://amzn.to/4oBoZsf Thanks Tui! --- OCTOBER SPECIAL: Get a 14 DAY FREE TRIAL OF SPOOKY STUDIO PLUS ON APPLE PODCASTS ONLY! ⁠ https://apple.co/spooky This post contains Amazon affiliate links that benefit Jim Harold Media when you make a qualifying purchase.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Russia's been caught building a secret undersea spy network in the Arctic — powered by Western technology. We'll explain how the system works, what it means for NATO, and why this undersea network could shift the balance of power in the next great intelligence contest. Later, European security services foil another Russian terror plot. Authorities in Poland and Romania say they've stopped a plan to send explosive parcels to Ukraine — part of Moscow's growing campaign of sabotage across the continent.
