What would the end of US sanctions mean for Syria? The handshake between US President Donald Trump and interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa was a dramatic shift, signaling the end of 46 years of US sanctions against Syria.

Send us a textBuckle up. In this flaming hot Ones Ready drop, Peaches unloads on the latest Air Force news like it's target practice. From the Pentagon's DEI purge to putting cruise missiles on MQ-9s (because why not?), we're diving deep into the bureaucratic chaos of the DoD's week. We question why the hell an OA-1K would carry a cruise missile, throw shade at “aspirational” tech projects, and get uncomfortably honest about childcare, base closures, and how many damn generals are collecting paychecks. Also, our only search and rescue dog retires, and it gets emotional. Pour one out for Callie.Meanwhile, only four slots remain for the Operator Training Summit—12 hours in the pool, mask clearing, buddy breathing, underwater misery and mentorship with the Ones Ready crew. Don't miss your shot to suffer with a purpose in San Diego this June.

Feeling lonely? You’re not the only one, and it’s not just in your head. The World Health Organization has called loneliness a global health threat, linked to serious physical and mental harm.

«Raggiunto un accordo di svolta con il Regno Unito, è fantastico per entrambe le nazioni». Lo ha detto il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump. Con l'accordo, il Regno Unito darà maggior accesso alla carne e all'etanolo statunitensi e saranno ridotte le barriere non tariffarie. Inoltre, «Stati Uniti e Regno Unito lavoreranno insieme sull'acciaio». Trump ha detto di voler «ringraziare il primo ministro Keir Starmer», definendolo «eccezionale» e affermando che i due Paesi hanno un «ottimo rapporto». Trump ha dichiarato che «gli ultimi dettagli sono in fase di stesura», ma che «quasi tutto è stato approvato». Anche il primo ministro britannico Keir Starmer ha definito «un giorno storico» quello dell'annuncio da parte del suo omologo americano Donald Trump di un accordo commerciale tra Usa e Gran Bretagna. Un annuncio che il premier britannico ha paragonato a quello di Winston Churchill della «Vittoria in Europa esattamente 80 anni fa». Secondo il presidente americano, l'intesa porterà 5 miliardi di dollari in nuove opportunità di esportazione per allevatori, agricoltori e produttori statunitensi, in particolare nei settori di carne bovina ed etanolo. Trump ha anche previsto entrate pari a 6 miliardi di dollari derivanti dal dazio universale del 10% che resterà in vigore sul Regno Unito, nonostante l'accordo. Ne parliamo con Giorgia Scaturro, corrispondente radio 24 da Londra.Baroni: «Piccole imprese più forti e sicure per rispondere alle sfide globali» Domani si apre il Forum annuale Piccola Industria a Firenze che sarà concluso, sabato mattina, dal presidente nazionale di Confindustria Emanuele Orsini. Sarà l'occasione per discutere dell'urgenza di avere Pmi forti e sicure per affrontare alcune delle sfide cruciali per le piccole e medie imprese italiane. Ci sono rischi, alimentati dall incertezza attuale, ma anche occasioni di crescita e di innovazione.«Energia, cybersecurity, aerospazio-difesa e impatti del cambiamento climatico: sono i quattro grandi temi su cui vogliamo concentrare la nostra riflessione. Tenendo conto del contesto in cui siamo oggi, sia a livello globale che europeo, con una Ue che deve cambiare: ridurre la burocrazia come previsto dal Pacchetto Omnibus previsto dalla nuova commissione europea - e concentrarsi sulla politica industriale», dice Giovanni Baroni, presidente della Piccola industria di Confindustria, anticipando i contenuti del Forum annuale. «Siamo sempre stati come Piccola precursori sui grandi temi, emersi anche dalle Assise organizzate sotto la mia presidenza a giugno del 2022 a Bari. L energia, quando ancora non era esploso il problema dei costi, l Intelligenza artificiale, che abbiamo affrontato anche con il road show sul territorio partito due anni fa, per far solo alcuni esempi. Oggi in questo periodo di guerre e di grandi cambiamenti che stanno modificando gli equilibri mondiali la sicurezza è un fattore determinante, in tutti i suoi aspetti. Siamo minacciati, ma abbiamo anche opportunità e spazi per crescere», dice Baroni. Interviene proprio Giovanni Baroni, presidente della Piccola industria di Confindustria

We recorded this in a hotel room right next to the Giza Plateau in Egypt, and we spend the first hour discussing the results of the now-famous Synthetic Aperture Radar scans of the Khafre Pyramid, and the claims of large structures hidden in the bedrock below the pyramid proper.We also talk a bit about the strange "well shaft" of the Great Pyramid, which we explored again this year, and the mysterious "Grotto" chamber at the top of the well shaft. Finally, we read some very interesting new findings by physicist Max Fomitchev-Zamilov in the subject of the Egyptian stone vases. Max has discovered that there is a higher concentration of radioactive elements in vases of higher quality and precision, at least in the limited samples he has been able to scan. We read about his preliminmary results from his website, which can be found here:https://maximus.energy/index.php/2025/03/30/excess-of-thorium-232-in-ancient-egyptian-stone-vessels/We also read from a related article on Max's website, about "nuclear machining", a technique that Max says could explain the seeming ease with which the ancient vases were manufactured, as well as the higher concentration of radioactive materials in the quality samples.https://maximus.energy/index.php/2025/01/14/nuclear-machining-hypothesis/Join us, Ben from UnchartedX, Adam Young, and Karoly Poka for an afternoon at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where we will peruse their collection of Ancient Egyptian artifacts, then we will move to the Explorer's Club for dinner and presentations from us and Ben!https://eveningattheexplorersclub.eventbrite.com/Join our Patreon, support the show, get extra content and early access!https://www.patreon.com/brothersoftheserpentSupport the show with a PayPal donation:https://paypal.me/snakebros

Drones struck the Conscience, a ship carrying humanitarian aid in international waters, after more than two months of blockade by Israel of aid into Gaza. Freedom Flotilla Coalition organizers believe Israel, which has attacked their ships in the past, is responsible. Israel has not commented on the strikes.

First, there was the March 15 conference revealing stunning discoveries that may lie beneath the Khafre pyramid... But there was also a follow-up conference March 16 that was hardly reported. So I got a hold of the Italian transcript and I asked ChatGPT to translate, outline, and summarize the March 16, 2025 press conference (centered on new radar and archaeological findings at the Giza Plateau):

Giovanni Jonvalli, Mirco Filistrucchi"Crudele è la notte"SEM Libriwww.semlibri.comMadrid, estate 1962. Mentre la Spagna soffoca sotto il pugno di ferro del generalissimo Francisco Franco, le morti misteriose di alcuni bambini vengono archiviate troppo in fretta. L'ispettore Florentino Abedes non è convinto della versione ufficiale: per lui, a colpire è un imprendibile infanticida. Uomo di destra, ma dai valori non negoziabili, Abedes crede a un'idea di giustizia spesso in contrasto con la legge applicata dai funzionari del regime. Così, non ci pensa due volte a coinvolgere nell'inchiesta Camilo Blanco, professore di filologia, perseguitato a causa delle sue posizioni liberali e affetto da una rara forma di narcolessia. Camilo è “l'uomo dei sogni”, capace di interpretare le visioni oniriche e scandagliare il proprio inconscio a caccia di indizi. Sarà proprio il dono del professore, insieme alla tenacia di Florentino, a portare alla soluzione di un enigma che si intreccia con alcune indecifrabili apparizioni della Madonna nella provincia profonda, su cui ancora incombe il ricordo dell'Alzamiento di Franco e delle violenze della guerra civile. Tra figure femminili dal fascino sfuggente, nei malinconici risvolti di un paese rebelde ormai ridotto all'ordine, i due indagatori affronteranno i fantasmi del passato per provare a vivere di nuovo. Crudele è la notte parla delle ore più buie, dell'anima nera d'Europa, di quell'incubo che da una birreria di Monaco di Baviera nel 1923 si allunga fino alla Grecia dei colonnelli. Parla delle dittature di ieri, e di sempre. Come in un gioco di specchi, tra le righe di questo romanzo prende corpo l'immagine all'apparenza così lontana, eppure così vicina, dell'Italia che sarebbe potuta essere se il fascismo non fosse stato rovesciato.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

The United Kingdom’s Supreme Court has ruled that a woman is defined by “biological sex” under equality law. The decision could limit transgender women’s access to essential services and set a lasting legal precedent. As hate crimes rise, what will this mean for the daily lives and rights of transgender women in the UK?

Approximately 1,500 former banana workers in Costa Rica say a US-made pesticide has left them sterile. Though banned in the United States in the 1970s, the chemical DBCP was still used by US fruit companies in countries with lax regulations. Decades later, those affected are still fighting for justice.

Iran and the United States are holding indirect nuclear talks, mediated by Oman, with the next round set for Saturday. Both sides report progress, but major gaps remain. Iran seeks sanctions relief and civilian uranium enrichment, while the US insists on stricter limits. Could this be the moment the long-stalled negotiations finally produce a breakthrough?

Lieldienu svētdienā pāvests Francisks uzrunāja tūkstošus, kas bija pulcējušies Svētā Pētera laukumā Vatikānā. Jau nākamajā rītā, 21. aprīlī, pasauli aplidoja ziņa, ka savā astoņdesmit devītajā mūža gadā katoļu baznīcas galva devies mūžībā. Sarunas par uguns pārtraukšanu Ukrainā nevedas. Aktualitātes analizē politologs Arturs Bikovs un Nacionālās aizsardzības akadēmijas pasniedzējs Jānis Kapustāns. Sede vacante Lieldienu svētdienā pāvests Francisks uzrunāja tūkstošus, kas bija pulcējušies Svētā Pētera laukumā Vatikānā. Varēja cerēt, ka pontifiks, kurš ziemas beigās vairāk nekā mēnesi pavadīja slimnīcā, cīnoties ar abpusēju pneimoniju un elpceļu infekciju, ir atlabis. Tomēr jau nākamajā rītā, 21. aprīlī, pasauli aplidoja ziņa, ka savā astoņdesmit devītajā mūža gadā katoļu baznīcas galva devies mūžībā. Vēsturē viņš paliks kā pirmais pāvests, kurš dzimis Amerikā un Dienvidu puslodē, pirmais pēc teju trīspadsmit gadsimtu pārtraukuma, kurš nav dzimis Eiropā, kā arī pirmais, kurš piederējis Romā ne pārāk ieredzētajam Jezuītu ordenim. Nācis pasaulē kā itāliešu imigrantu atvase Argentīnas galvaspilsētā Buenosairesā, Horhe Mario Bergolio vidusskolā ieguva ķīmijas tehnologa specialitāti, bet deviņpadsmit gadu vecumā, sajutis sevī priestera aicinājumu, iestājās jezuītu koledžā un trīs gadus vēlāk arī ordenī. Ar darbību ordeņa struktūrās, tālāko izglītošanos un pedagoga darbu ordeņa pārraudzītajās mācību iestādēs saistījās viņa mūža nākamās pāris desmitgades, līdz 1992. gadā viņš tika iecelts par Buenosairesas palīgbīskapu. 1998. gadā, iepriekšējam Buenosairesas arhibīskapam beidzot savas šīs zemes gaitas, Bergolio ieņēma viņa vietu, kurā sabija līdz 2001. gadam, kad toreizējais pāvests Jānis Pāvils II iecēla viņu kardināla kārtā un uzticēja vairāku kongregāciju vadību. Kā vēstījuši avoti Vatikānā, kardināls Bergolio bijis otrs nopietnākais pretendents jau 2005. gada konklāvā, kurš galu galā tomēr izraudzījās par pontifiku Jozefu Aloīzu Racingeru, pāvestu Benediktu XVI. Visbeidzot, kad 2013. gada februārī Benedikts atkāpās no amata, par viņa varas mantinieku kļuva Horhe Bergolio, pieņemdams Fanciska vārdu, tā godinot pieticības, pazemības un visaptverošas mīlestības sludinātāju Svēto Francisku no Asīzes. Arī pats pāvests Francisks sava pontifikāta laikā iemantojis ievērību ar vienkāršību un pieticību ikdienā un ārējās izpausmēs. Viņa nonākšana katoļu baznīcas hierarhijas virsotnē apliecināja pārmaiņas, kuras modernajā pasaulē piedzīvo baznīca, kļūdama globālāka un daudzveidīgāka. Viņš pats centās iet vidusceļu starp tradicionālistisko un reformisko ievirzi. Nu pasaules mediji piesauc tos, kuri varētu stāties viņa vietā, un lēš, vai turpinājums saistīsies ar Franciska iesākto piesardzīgo pārmaiņu attīstību, vai ar pagriezienu atpakaļ konservatīvajā virzienā. Ar pirmo variantu saista pirmām kārtām aizgājušā pāvesta līdzstrādniekus no Vatikāna aprindām – kardinālus Pjetro Parolinu, Mateo Dzupi, Žoze Tolentinu Mendosu, arī Jeruzalemes latīņu patriarhu Pjerbatistu Picabellu, ar otro – gvinejiešu izcelsmes kardinālu Robēru Sarā, bet jo sevišķi Ungārijas primasu, kardinālu Pēteru Erdē. Aizkaitinātie miera baloži 18. aprīlī, runājot ar žurnālistiem pēc sarunām Parīzē, kurās piedalījās Savienoto Valstu, Francijas, Lielbritānijas, Vācijas un Ukrainas pārstāvji, ASV valsts sekretārs Marko Rubio paziņoja, ka ja miera sarunu procesā nebūs drīza progresa, amerikāņi ir gatavi atteikties no tālākas līdzdalības. Prezidentam Trampam esot gana daudz rūpju citur pasaulē. Līdzīgā garā tai pašā dienā izteicās arī pats Baltā nama saimnieks. Nekas gan netika teikts par militāro atbalstu Ukrainai, taču daudzi uzskata, ka šāda amerikāņu „atmešanās”, lietojot kāršu spēlmaņu terminoloģiju, pēc noklusējuma nozīmētu arī palīdzības izbeigšanu. Parīzē amerikāņu puse likusi priekšā ukraiņiem savu miera risinājuma ietvaru, kura detaļas gan joprojām paliek publiski nezināmas. Tomēr neoficiāli medijos nonākusī informācija liecina, ka priekšlikumi ietver karadarbības apturēšanu pie esošās frontes līnijas, amerikāņu veto Ukrainas iestājai NATO un Krimas atzīšanu par Krievijas sastāvdaļu. Par pēdējo Ukrainas prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis jau paziņojis, ka viņa valsts neatzīs Krimu par Krievijai likumīgi piederošu. Šī Ukrainas pozīcija, kas ir pilnīgi pamatota no starptautisko tiesību viedokļa, visdrīzāk ir iemesls, kāpēc ne Marko Rubio, ne prezidenta Trampa sūtnis sarunām ar Krieviju Stīvs Vitkofs neieradīsies uz sarunu raundu, kas šodien, 23. aprīlī, paredzēts Londonā ar Savienoto Valstu, Lielbritānijas, Francijas, Vācijas un Ukrainas līdzdalību. Vašingtonu šeit pārstāvēšot prezidenta Trampa sūtnis sarunām ar Ukrainu Keits Kellogs. Kā izdevumam „Financial Times” atzinis kāds anonīms Baltā nama administrācijas pārstāvis, pret Kijivu šobrīd tiek vērsts pamatīgs spiediens, lai tā piekāptos, un Donalds Tramps tad varētu rotāties ar miera nesēja lauriem. Taču amerikāņu aizkaitinājums par miera procesa bremzēšanos, acīmredzot, atstājis zināmu iespaidu arī uz Putinu, kurš nevēlas, lai Tramps pavisam atmestu ar roku savai miera baloža misijai. Ar šādiem apsvērumiem būtu skaidrojama Kremļa Lieldienās izsludinātā trīsdesmit stundu uguns pārtraukšana, kas gan Krievijas izpildījumā nozīmējusi tikai pauzi artilērijas apšaudēs, mazāk kājnieku uzbrukumu, bet joprojām aktīvus lidrobotu triecienus pa ukraiņu pozīcijām. Kā turpinājums ir Krievijas vadoņa Putina šīsnedēļas  paziņojums, ka Kremlis būtu gatavs tiešām sarunām ar Ukrainu. Uz to prezidents Zelenskis atbildējis, ka Ukraina ir gatava sarunām jebkurā formātā, bet tikai pēc tam, kad tiks pārtraukta uguns frontē. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.   

I'm thrilled to share some exciting highlights from the latest episode of our podcast, where I had an incredible conversation with Eric Anderson, the co-founder and CTO of SynMax. Eric's journey from finance to launching a cutting-edge data intelligence company is nothing short of inspiring. Here are some key takeaways that I think you'll find fascinating: The Birth of SynMaxFrom Finance to Innovation: Eric's background in finance and investment analysis laid the groundwork for SynMax. His experience at firms like Merrill Lynch and Skyler Capital sparked the idea of leveraging privileged data, such as commercial satellite imagery, to create actionable intelligence products.Privileged Data vs. Open-Source Data: While many companies focus on open-source data, SynMax stands out by using high-quality, paid data sources. This unique approach allows them to deliver superior intelligence products to hedge funds, banks, and government entities.Target Market and Customer BaseWho Benefits?: SynMax's primary clients are hedge funds, banks, and government entities. With a customer base split roughly 60% government and defense and 40% financial institutions, SynMax is making waves in sectors that highly value actionable intelligence. Data Security and GrowthUnclassified but Secure: While SynMax's data is unclassified, they are exploring opportunities to integrate with classified data sources, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity.Scaling Up: From a one-man show to a team of around 100 employees, Eric shares the challenges and triumphs of scaling a startup. Attracting top talent, especially software developers and data scientists, has been crucial to their growth. Leadership and CultureLessons in Leadership: Eric's journey as a leader has been shaped by experience and learning to delegate effectively. He stresses the importance of creating a culture where employees feel comfortable bringing bad news to leadership, fostering transparency and continuous improvement.Startup Culture: Speed and motivation are key. Eric is upfront about the demands of working at a startup, ensuring that new hires are passionate about the mission.Competitive EdgeStanding Out: SynMax's focus on privileged data sets them apart from competitors who rely on free data sources. This strategy allows them to provide high-quality intelligence at a lower overall cost. Future Trends and OpportunitiesExpanding Horizons: Eric is excited about the potential for data intelligence products to become more mainstream. With decreasing costs of satellite technology and the rise of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, the future looks bright for SynMax. Key Strategies and ChallengesIdentifying Opportunities: The challenge isn't finding opportunities but identifying which ones have real potential. Eric emphasizes the importance of quickly developing minimum viable products (MVPs) and testing market demand.Navigating Volatility: Despite market volatility, SynMax operates in a defensible space. Their data helps clients identify opportunities during market overreactions, providing stability and value.Global Reach and Ethical ConsiderationsInternational Contracts: SynMax has contracts with the U.S. government and allied nations, highlighting their global reach.Maintaining Trust: Confidentiality and unbiased data are paramount. SynMax ensures that all client communications remain private, maintaining trust in a competitSend us a textConnect with Kip on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kipknippel/Watch Bite-Sized Clips on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@capitalistculture/shorts

In Ballad of the White Horse, G.K. Chesterton describes the Virgin Mary: Her face was like an open word When brave men speak and choose, The very colours of her coat Were better than good news. Why the colors of her coat? The medievals took their dyes very seriously. This was before modern chemistry, so you had to try hard if you wanted good colors. Try hard they did; they famously used literal gold, hammered into ultrathin sheets, to make golden highlights. Blue was another tough one. You could do mediocre, half-faded blues with azurite. But if you wanted perfect blue, the color of the heavens on a clear evening, you needed ultramarine. Here is the process for getting ultramarine. First, go to Afghanistan. Keep in mind, you start in England or France or wherever. Afghanistan is four thousand miles away. Your path takes you through tall mountains, burning deserts, and several dozen Muslim countries that are still pissed about the whole Crusades thing. Still alive? After you arrive, climb 7,000 feet in the mountains of Kuran Wa Munjan until you reach the mines of Sar-i-Sang. There, in a freezing desert, the wretched of the earth work themselves to an early grave breaking apart the rocks of Badakhshan to produce a few hundred kilograms per year of blue stone - the only lapis lazuli production in the known world. Buy the stone and retrace your path through the burning deserts and vengeful Muslims until you're back in England or France or wherever. Still alive? That was the easy part. Now you need to go through a chemical extraction process that makes the Philosopher's Stone look like freshman chem lab. "The lengthy process of pulverization, sifting, and washing to produce ultramarine makes the natural pigment … roughly ten times more expensive than the stone it came from." Finally you have ultramarine! How much? I can't find good numbers, but Claude estimates that the ultramarine production of all of medieval Europe was around the order of 30 kg per year - not enough to paint a medium-sized wall. Ultramarine had to be saved for ultra-high-value applications. In practice, the medievals converged on a single use case - painting the Virgin Mary's coat. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-colors-of-her-coat

Many of the images that have been seen from Israel’s war in Gaza have already been seen for the last time. With Gaza under siege from the Israeli military and tech companies censoring and taking down material, the responsibility falls on the people of Gaza to document and archive their own evidence of war crimes and genocide. How will it survive?

Afghan women’s rights activists are facing deportation from Pakistan, along with hundreds of thousands of Afghans living there. The activists risk imprisonment or death if they return to life under the Taliban in Afghanistan. Afghans have sought refuge in Pakistan for years, but the government says they cannot remain there indefinitely. As international resettlement programs shut down and Pakistan accelerates removals, where can Afghans go?

Shattering months of uneasy calm, Israel bombed Beirut for the first time since November’s truce with Hezbollah. The strike came after rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory — the second such incident in a week. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam urged the army to arrest those responsible, calling it a threat to national security. With tensions reigniting on both sides, will peace hold in Lebanon?

Researchers say they used SAR to find vast city beneath the pyramidsThe researchers claim to have discovered eight vertical cylinder-shaped structures, referred to as shafts, extending approximately 2,100 feet deep beneath the pyramids.Italian and Scottish researchers claim they found a major discovery beneath the Pyramids of Giza, potentially rewriting the history of ancient Egypt. Using radar technology, the team led by Corrado Malanga from Italy's University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland announced the findings of what they describe as a vast underground city stretching more than 6,500 feet directly beneath the pyramids."This groundbreaking study has redefined the boundaries of satellite data analysis and archaeological exploration," said the project's spokesperson, Nicole Ciccolo, according to The Sun.She elaborated that the discovery "could redefine our understanding of the sacred topography of ancient Egypt, providing spatial coordinates for previously unknown and unexplored subterranean structures."The researchers used a new radar technology known as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which combines satellite radar data with tiny vibrations from naturally occurring seismic movements. The radar was used to create high-resolution three-dimensional images of underground structures, a method similar to using sonar to map the ocean floor. Their study, still awaiting peer review, suggests that the complex is ten times larger than the pyramids themselves.The team claims to have discovered eight vertical cylinder-shaped structures, referred to as shafts, extending approximately 2,100 feet deep beneath the pyramids. Each shaft is said to be surrounded by spiral pathways that connect to two 80-meter cube-shaped structures. Above these, they reportedly found five multi-level structures connected by passageways."The existence of vast chambers beneath the earth's surface, comparable in size to the pyramids themselves, has a remarkably strong correlation with the legendary Halls of Amenti," Ciccolo stated. She explained that the cylindrical structures were found underneath each of the three pyramids and appear "to serve as access points to this underground system."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Approach with caution. In March 2025, a group calling itself the “Khafre Research Project” posted visual information online about the pyramid of Khafra at Giza. The group claims that Synthetic Aperture Radar (or SAR) scans at Giza have revealed “structures” beneath the pyramids. Using digital modelling (and some AI), they suggest that Khafra's pyramid and the Giza plateau hide many more chambers. There are a couple facets to this.
