As the year wraps up, we're looking back at 10 of the episodes that defined our year at The Take. This originally aired on August 28. None of the dates, titles, or other references has been changed. Thousands of US troops are on warships stationed near Venezuela. President Donald Trump says the move is to fight drug cartels that the US has labelled “terrorist” organizations. In response, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has ordered troops to the border and called on citizens to mobilize to defend the country. Is Trump’s mission about fighting drugs, or is it a signal of broader US intervention?

In this series, we've been talking about four names given to Jesus before He was born. In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares the significance of the name: Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 tells us that Messiah's name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Today we focus on Prince of Peace. In Hebrew, Sar Shalom.Sar means Captain, Chief, General, Ruler. Jesus doesn't give sentimental peace—He establishes peace by enforcing the rule of the King.So what is peace? In Hebrew, Shalom.Shalom is an all-encompassing word that describes when everything is as it should be.Calling the Messiah the Prince of Peace isn't a promise of fewer battles; it's God promising His presence through them. When your world is falling apart, God sent the One who holds all things together. He doesn't just have peace—He is peace.Peace does not come from inactivity.1 Peter 3:11 says to seek peace and pursue it. Peace won't come by doing nothing. If the world has to stop for you to have peace, you'll never have peace. Peace isn't the absence of problems; it's remaining resolute despite them.Peace does not come from control.Some people think peace comes when they get their own way. That's not peace—that's immaturity. Proverbs 3:5 reminds us to trust in the Lord and not lean on our own understanding. You cannot control your way into peace.Three Things Jesus Does as the Prince of PeaceJesus demonstrates how to live a life of peace. In Mark 4, Jesus sleeps during a storm while the disciples panic. A storm outside doesn't have to mean a storm inside. Fear responds to facts; faith responds to truth. Sometimes peace isn't God calming the storm as much as God calming His child.Jesus secured the peace treaty between God and mankind. Colossians 1 tells us that through the cross, Jesus made peace between God and humanity. You can't experience the peace of God until you've made peace with God. Peace with God isn't earned—it's received.Jesus offers us His peace. John 14:27 says Jesus gives us His peace, not the world's version. You can't have the peace of God while fighting the rule of God. Peace is a person you must yield to. Where Jesus is Lord, peace will rule; where He is not, chaos will rule.ClosingIsaiah 26:3 says God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are fixed on Him. Peace doesn't come from changing everything around you—it comes from fixing your focus. When your thoughts are fixed on fear, peace gets blurry. When they're fixed on the Prince of Peace, clarity comes.A new year is right around the corner. What if we don't need a new year—we just need a new ruler? Where the Prince rules, His peace reigns.Are you letting Jesus be your Prince of Peace?

I Magi erano appena partiti, quando un angelo del Signore apparve in sogno a Giuseppe e gli disse: «Àlzati, prendi con te il bambino e sua madre, fuggi in Egitto e resta là finché non ti avvertirò: Erode infatti vuole cercare il bambino per ucciderlo». Egli si alzò, nella notte, prese il bambino e sua madre e si rifugiò in Egitto, dove rimase fino alla morte di Erode, perché si compisse ciò che era stato detto dal Signore per mezzo del profeta: «Dall'Egitto ho chiamato mio figlio». Morto Erode, ecco, un angelo del Signore apparve in sogno a Giuseppe in Egitto e gli disse: «Àlzati, prendi con te il bambino e sua madre e va' nella terra d'Israele; sono morti infatti quelli che cercavano di uccidere il bambino». Egli si alzò, prese il bambino e sua madre ed entrò nella terra d'Israele. Ma, quando venne a sapere che nella Giudea regnava Archelao al posto di suo padre Erode, ebbe paura di andarvi. Avvertito poi in sogno, si ritirò nella regione della Galilea e andò ad abitare in una città chiamata Nàzaret, perché si compisse ciò che era stato detto per mezzo dei profeti: «Sarà chiamato Nazareno».

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region opened its urban roads to the first group of private cars from Guangdong province under a new cross-border travel program on Tuesday, in a move that officials and Chinese mainland drivers have hailed as a milestone for regional integration.周二，香港特别行政区在一项新的跨境出行计划下，首次向来自广东省的私家车开放市区道路。官员和内地司机纷纷将这一举措誉为区域一体化的“里程碑”。The Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles program allows approved private car owners from Guangdong with confirmed travel bookings to drive into Hong Kong's urban areas via the Zhuhai port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, with a daily quota of 100 vehicles.“广东车辆南下行”计划允许已获批准、并持有确认行程预约的广东私家车车主，经由港珠澳大桥珠海口岸驶入香港市区，每日名额为100辆。The first phase of the program benefits drivers from the cities of Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Jiangmen and Zhongshan. After six months of implementation, the program will be expanded to other cities across Guangdong.该计划第一阶段惠及来自广州、珠海、江门和中山的司机。实施满六个月后，计划将扩展至广东其他城市。Each eligible mainland vehicle will be granted a maximum stay of three days per visit.每辆符合条件的内地车辆每次入境香港，最长停留时间为三天。At midnight on Tuesday, a private car with a Guangdong license plate entered the dedicated outbound lane at the Zhuhai port, preparing to head south to downtown Hong Kong.周二午夜，一辆悬挂广东车牌的私家车驶入珠海口岸的专用出境车道，准备南下前往香港市区。After the car owner had completed a temperature check and identity verification using a one-stop clearance system, the lane screen immediately lit up with a green passage prompt.车主通过“一站式通关系统”完成体温检测和身份核验后，车道屏幕随即亮起绿色通行提示。"I am very pleased to be among the first participants of the policy, driving into the urban areas of Hong Kong," said the driver, surnamed Peng.“我非常高兴能成为首批政策参与者之一，直接驾车进入香港市区，”该名姓彭的司机表示。Peng, who opened a restaurant in Zhuhai with a Hong Kong partner, often travels to the SAR for business research. The program saves him from the time-consuming transitions between buses.彭先生与一名香港合伙人在珠海开设了餐厅，经常前往特区进行商业考察。该计划让他免去了多次换乘公交的耗时不便。Five dedicated lanes in each direction have been set up at the boundary for program participants, according to inspection officials on the Zhuhai side, with some drivers saying that the full boundary crossing takes roughly five to 10 minutes.据珠海方面的查验人员介绍，口岸为计划参与者在双向各设置了五条专用车道。一些司机表示，整个过境流程大约只需5至10分钟。Mable Chan, secretary for transport and logistics of the Hong Kong SAR government, said the first-day public uptake of the program was "enthusiastic".香港特区政府运输及物流局局长陈美宝表示，该计划首日的公众参与反应“十分热烈”。Chan said the 100 places on the first day were almost fully taken up, adding that the Hong Kong authorities have been working to process applications from 1,700 mainland car owners selected via a ballot run by the Guangdong authorities last month, who were drawn from an initial pool of 2,388 registrants.陈美宝表示，首日的100个名额几乎被全部用尽。她补充说，香港方面正加紧处理由广东当局于上月通过摇号方式选出的1700名内地车主的申请，这些人选来自最初2388名报名者。"We expect that … (the program) will further promote exchanges between the people of the two regions, allowing them to truly experience the 'one-hour living circle' between Guangdong and Hong Kong, and further facilitate integration and exchanges within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area," Chan said.陈美宝表示：“我们期望……（该计划）将进一步促进两地民众的交流，让他们真正体验粤港之间的‘一小时生活圈'，并进一步推动粤港澳大湾区的融合与互动。”Given the popularity of electric vehicles on the mainland, Chan said more EV chargers compatible with mainland standards will be installed across the city.鉴于内地电动汽车的普及程度，陈美宝表示，香港将加装更多符合内地标准的电动车充电设施。One such newly added facility is the 24/7 Lantau Charging Station operated by CLPe, a subsidiary of local power supplier CLP.其中一项新设设施是由本地电力供应商中电旗下子公司CLPe运营的、全天候开放的大屿山充电站。A Guangzhou resident surnamed Guo and her family used the station to charge their EV before kicking off a two-day trip to Hong Kong on Tuesday. She described the charging and payment process as "simple and fast".周二，来自广州、姓郭的市民与家人出发前往香港展开两日游前，使用该充电站为电动车充电。她形容充电和支付流程“简单快捷”。Guo's family previously relied on the high-speed train and a cross-boundary bus to visit Hong Kong. "Now we can just get in the car at home and drive straight to the sights (in Hong Kong) — it's much more suitable for a family outing," she said.此前，郭女士一家前往香港主要依赖高铁和跨境巴士。“现在可以直接在家上车，一路开到（香港的）景点，非常适合家庭出游，”她说。For another mainland motorist, surnamed Lun, the shift from timetable-bound rail journeys to the spontaneity of a private road trip has provided more flexibility. "Now traveling in my own car, I can just book (a hotel room) in the morning and check in that same afternoon," Lun said.另一位姓伦的内地司机表示，从受时刻表限制的铁路出行转向更加随性的自驾出游，让行程灵活度大大提升。“现在自己开车出行，早上订酒店，下午就能入住，”伦先生说。Guo and Lun both said they will recommend the southbound drive to others.郭女士和伦先生均表示，会向他人推荐这一南下自驾出行方式。maximum stay/ˈmæksɪməm steɪ/最长停留期限one-stop clearance system/ˌwʌn stɒp ˈklɪərəns/一站式通关系统dedicated lane/ˈdedɪkeɪtɪd leɪn/专用车道public uptake/ˈpʌblɪk ˈʌpteɪk/公众接受度ballot/ˈbælət/摇号one-hour living circle/ˌwʌn aʊə ˈlɪvɪŋ ˈsɜːkl/一小时生活圈

Ogni anno in Italia vengono pubblicati più di 85 mila titoli ma il tempo che gli italiani dedicano alla lettura settimanale è sempre meno. Sarà mica vero che siamo più scrittori che lettori e che un libro lo scrivono proprio tutti? Riccardo, Beppe e Ginevra, a loro volta autori di tre volumi, cercano di capire quanto c'è di vero in questo luogo comune con Valentina Notarberardino, esperta di comunicazione editoriale e autrice, a sua volta, del libro "Operazione bestseller".

Al sesto mese, l'angelo Gabriele fu mandato da Dio in una città della Galilea, chiamata Nàzaret, a una vergine, promessa sposa di un uomo della casa di Davide, di nome Giuseppe. La vergine si chiamava Maria. Entrando da lei, disse: «Rallégrati, piena di grazia: il Signore è con te». A queste parole ella fu molto turbata e si domandava che senso avesse un saluto come questo. L'angelo le disse: «Non temere, Maria, perché hai trovato grazia presso Dio. Ed ecco, concepirai un figlio, lo darai alla luce e lo chiamerai Gesù. Sarà grande e verrà chiamato Figlio dell'Altissimo; il Signore Dio gli darà il trono di Davide suo padre e regnerà per sempre sulla casa di Giacobbe e il suo regno non avrà fine». Allora Maria disse all'angelo: «Come avverrà questo, poiché non conosco uomo?». Le rispose l'angelo: «Lo Spirito Santo scenderà su di te e la potenza dell'Altissimo ti coprirà con la sua ombra. Perciò colui che nascerà sarà santo e sarà chiamato Figlio di Dio. Ed ecco, Elisabetta, tua parente, nella sua vecchiaia ha concepito anch'essa un figlio e questo è il sesto mese per lei, che era detta sterile: nulla è impossibile a Dio». Allora Maria disse: «Ecco la serva del Signore: avvenga per me secondo la tua parola». E l'angelo si allontanò da lei.

Dov'è andato Babbo Natale?C'era una volta il Villaggio di Babbo Natale — ma Babbo Natale non c'era. Era ormai sparito da giorni e giorni… anzi da mesi. Chi avrebbe preparato e consegnato i doni ai bambini come ogni anno?Quella parte del Polo Nord che di solito era molto movimentata, era diventata stranamente silenziosa — non si vedeva un Elfo in giro, niente suoni di campanelli, le slitte erano coperte di neve e tutte le renne sonnecchiavano confuse.Se guardavi nella sua casa non vedevi una traccia di vita. Il caminetto spento, la sedia a dondolo con le ragnatele, una tazza vuota sul tavolo di legno e un mozzicone di candela consumato da troppo tempo.Tante erano le voci che si erano sparse riguardo all'assenza di Babbo Natale. C'era chi diceva che si trovasse su un altro pianeta in una galassia lontana lontana, chi sulla Luna, chi sugli oceani immensi — e addirittura qualcuno diceva che aveva aperto una pasticceria a Buenos Aires.Il mistero era fitto. Nessuno se ne faceva una ragione e tutto era silenzioso e immobile.Nel frattempo, a molti chilometri di distanza, nei Mari del Sud, un gruppo di gabbiani che passavano le giornate a svolazzare sopra la baia avvistarono in lontananza un piccolo veliero. C'era solo un marinaio a bordo che stava issando sull'albero maestro scricchiolante la vela principale.Il gabbiano più anziano non poteva credere ai suoi occhi. Fece un paio di acrobazie nell'aria, tirò fuori il suo cannocchiale, guardò meglio e disse: "Ma io quello lo conosco! Quel marinaio viene da terre lontane!"Rivolgendosi agli altri gabbiani raccontò: "Un giorno, durante uno dei miei lunghi viaggi, persi la rotta e mi ritrovai sui tetti ghiacciati di un villaggio al Polo Nord. Atterrai proprio sulla casa di quell'uomo dalla lunga barba che vedete sulla barca. Lui mi sentì chiedere aiuto, venne a prendermi, mi nutrì e mi raccontò del suo lavoro. Secondo me questo incontro ha qualcosa di magico. La nostra prossima avventura sta per cominciare."Planando, si diressero verso la barca e atterrarono tutti sulla prua. Il gabbiano e il marinaio si salutarono come vecchi amici.Poco dopo, un gruppo di delfini arrivò vicino al veliero incuriositi. Nuotavano in cerchio intorno alla barca, saltando fuori dall'acqua.Il più giovane dei delfini notò qualcosa di strano. "Guardate! Dalla stiva escono trucioli di legno che galleggiano! E si vedono delle lucine sotto coperta."Il marinaio dalla lunga barba sorrise. "Venite," disse con voce calda, "vi mostro cosa ho fatto in tutti questi mesi."Aprì il portello della stiva e dentro, alla luce di due lanterne dondolanti, si vedeva un laboratorio galleggiante pieno di meraviglie. Con una pialla ben affilata aveva lavorato pezzi di legno recuperati in mare trasformandoli in giocattoli — e così aveva fatto anche con conchiglie, noci di cocco, tappi di sughero, bottiglie di vetro, stelle marine e fili dorati arrivati da chissà dove."Ho viaggiato per imparare nuovi modi di portare gioia," spiegò il marinaio. "Ma il lavoro è tanto e il Natale si avvicina. Mi aiutereste a finire?"E così tutti insieme si misero all'opera. I delfini portavano dal fondo del mare conchiglie speciali. I gabbiani raccoglievano piume colorate. Gli oggetti trasformati in doni furono messi in grossi sacchi di tela.I giorni passarono veloci.Il primo di Dicembre il capitano, indossato il suo rosso e caldo cappello e con la pipa in bocca, guardò il cielo stellato e disse: "È tempo di partire."I delfini sollevarono il veliero finché si alzò sopra le onde. Le vele si gonfiarono al vento e prese il volo, mentre lo stormo di gabbiani lo guidò tra le nuvole seguendo i sogni. Insieme continuarono il viaggio dirigendosi verso nord, volando nell'azzurro infinito.La notte arrivò veloce e nel cielo pieno di stelle una brillava più di tutte. Era la stella polare che con la sua luce accompagnava la discesa del veliero sulla terra.Per magia, nell'avvicinarsi al villaggio, il veliero si trasformò in una slitta super carica di doni. I regali costruiti nella stiva arrivarono nel laboratorio per essere consegnati insieme a tutti gli altri pacchetti.Quando atterrò sul tetto della sua casa, un tintinnio di campanelli si sentì in lontananza. Gli Elfi si affacciarono sulle porte e gridarono: "È lui! È lui! È Babbo Natale! È tornato!"Le renne dal naso rosso si svegliarono di colpo e cominciarono a lucidare le slitte, addobbandole di fiocchi e pigne colorate.La vita nel villaggio si risvegliò tutta insieme. I rami degli alberi si scuotevano come se avessero il solletico. Un gruppo di pinguini, approdati al Polo Nord per dare una mano, scivolando sulle lastre di ghiaccio a grande velocità, finirono dentro cumuli di neve e uscirono fuori come palle che rimbalzavano.“Che simpatici! Vi attaccheremo all'albero di Natale come decoro!" gridavano gli animali del villaggio.Ma i pinguini, liberandosi dalla neve, corsero verso la casa di Babbo Natale per aiutare nei preparativi.Al villaggio proprio tutti si misero in movimento. Le renne corsero all'Ufficio Postale e riempiti i sacchi di letterine, le portarono nel laboratorio. Gli Elfi con l'aiuto dei pinguini erano pronti per il lavoro.Quella mattina, quando le campane suonarono a festa, volpi, scoiattoli, lepri e orsi accorsero da ogni angolo della foresta per festeggiare il ritorno di Babbo Natale. C'era tanto da fare per la gioia di tutti i bambini del mondo.L'aria profumava d'abete e di dolcetti. Gli alberi di Natale scintillavano di ghiaccioli come stelle. Gli animali si rincorrevano felici con il naso girato verso l'alto.I preparativi cominciarono in grande lena. Per tutto il mese di dicembre lavorarono insieme — seghe che cantavano, martelli che suonavano, carta colorata che volava. Babbo Natale raccontava le storie del suo viaggio mentre inchiodava e levigava.E quando arrivò il 24 dicembre, tutto era pronto. I regali furono caricati sulla slitta e Babbo Natale partì per il suo viaggio più importante.I gabbiani volarono via verso nuovi orizzonti, lasciando le loro impronte sui tetti innevati.Da quel Natale si racconta che Babbo Natale non sia mai più andato via dal Polo Nord."E se fosse stata solo una favola? Sarà vero, o no? A voi la decisione finale!" — Scritta da Lucia & Marco CiappelliPer la versione in inglese e tante altre storie da leggere e ascoltare: https://www.storiesottolestelle.com Each story is currently written and narrated in both Italian and English.The translation from Italian (the original language) to English and the reading of the stories are performed using Generative Artificial Intelligence — which perhaps has a touch of magic...

The Space Show presents Manuel Cuba of Helix Space Luxembourg, Friday, 12-12-25.Quick SummaryOur program focused on Helix Space's operations in Luxembourg and their role in the European space sector, including discussions about funding, defense services, and commercial space activities. Manuel explained how Helix Space helps European companies access funding and develop innovation programs, while also addressing European space initiatives and launch capabilities. The conversation concluded with discussions about space medicine research, European space capabilities and challenges, and potential collaboration opportunities between American and European space companies.Detail SummaryOur guest shared that Helix Space, based in Luxembourg, has been operating for five years, noting that the COVID period was relatively mild in Luxembourg compared to other regions. John Jossie inquired about the impact of the UK's cancellation of its space department on European space activities, to which Manuel responded that it caused some media attention but had minimal practical impact, as the UK continues to contribute to the European Space Agency. This program began with an introduction to Helix Space and its ecosystem, focusing on the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) and its role in accessing European Space Agency funding. Manuel explained the differences between the European Space Agency and the European Union Space Agency, highlighting their distinct responsibilities and occasional conflicts. The discussion also touched on European space initiatives like Iris Squared and the competition among European nation-states in the space sector.Manuel discussed his role as Managing Director of Helix Space in Luxembourg, explaining the company's focus on space technology and satellite manufacturing. David announced upcoming programs featuring Isaac Arthur, Michael Listner and Dr. Mike Griffin, and reminded listeners of the ongoing annual campaign. The show also highlighted the importance of listener support and various payment options, including PayPal, Zelle, and Substack.Manuel explained that Helix Space, which he co-founded over five years ago, initially focused on developing microgravity research products for both humans and animals, but later shifted its focus to 90% defense-related services and 10% civil space services. He detailed how the company helps European companies obtain public and private funding, develop innovation programs, and improve cybersecurity standards. David inquired about the commercial space boom, to which Manuel shared that both Luxembourg's Space Agency and the European Space Agency prioritize funding projects with strong commercial viability, requiring detailed business plans and evidence of market potential before supporting research and development.Manuel discussed the Feed for Start program, a national accelerator in Luxembourg that supports space companies worldwide, with successful graduates eligible for government funding to establish operations in Luxembourg. He highlighted a French company that enables rocket launch bookings, noting its improved website and growing customer base. John Jossy inquired about the market sectors for satellite customers, and Manuel outlined the main categories: traditional SATCOM, Earth observation, space services, and space resources, with Europe focusing on defensive measures rather than weaponization in space. David asked about Europe's stance on space weaponization, to which Manuel confirmed that Europe prioritizes defensive capabilities and cybersecurity measures, such as zero-trust architectures and potential robotic arms for satellite protection.Manuel discussed the significant impact of the Russian Ukrainian war on Europe's space sector, highlighting increased investments and the rapid sale of SAR satellites by Finnish company Ice Eye. He mentioned European companies like Redwire and Tumi Robotics developing autonomous systems for microgravity research and lunar exploration. Manuel also explained Helix Space's involvement with the European Space Resources Innovation Center's Startup Support Program, which helps startups develop terrestrial applications of lunar technology, and addressed the criticism and potential impact of the Artemis program on the European space industry.Next, the discussion focused on European space launch capabilities and trends. Manuel explained that while Ariane Space remains a significant provider with 11-12 launches annually, Europe is developing multiple new rocket companies including Rocket Factory Augsburg, ISAR Aerospace, and PLD Space to reduce dependency on foreign launch providers. Marshall inquired about European preferences for launch providers and payment methods, to which Manuel responded that public procurement follows open tenders while private actors choose based on availability and cost. David raised questions about European spaceports and private space stations, with Manuel noting that while there's activity around autonomous vehicles and payload capabilities, European companies like Airbus are partnering with American companies like Voyager Holdings for space station development.Manuel discussed Helix Base's for-profit business model, highlighting their success in helping companies raise funds and their work with European Space Resources Innovation Center. He mentioned several companies they work with, including Tumi Robotics, Space Backend, and Polymux Space, which are developing innovative technologies for space exploration and resource utilization. John Jossy inquired about Luxembourg's space resources law and asteroid mining, to which Manuel provided insights into the companies involved in these activities and their progress.Manuel explained that Helix Space focuses on preventive medicine rather than pharmaceutical development, drawing inspiration from his father's experience with alternative treatment in Peru and historical medical practices. He noted that healthcare costs are skyrocketing globally, with a significant portion of budgets dedicated to healthcare, and emphasized the need for preventive measures. Manuel and his wife, a systems biology expert, are exploring unconventional medical approaches based on historical anecdotes and scientific research, though he acknowledged that some of their findings should be taken with a grain of salt.Manuel discussed his company's efforts to develop preventive medicine treatments for conditions like osteoarthritis through space-based experiments. After assessing microgravity service providers in Europe, they found limited interest and decided to pause their efforts until there is more commercial demand. Manuel expressed frustration with the current space research ecosystem, particularly regarding the International Space Station's capabilities and the lengthy development processes, and emphasized the need for streamlined, autonomous operations in the future.Our guest explained that while space medicine research exists, there are no concrete medical products developed in space that have made it to market on Earth. He described the European Space Agency's requirement for business plans, which led to the adoption of the Business Model Canvas as a structured framework for proposal submissions. Manuel detailed how the Value Proposition Canvas tool helps identify and balance the diverse needs of different stakeholders in a business context, particularly relevant for space projects where system engineering processes are crucial.Manuel explained the opportunities for American startups to access the European market through Helix Pace, a chartered member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg. He highlighted the country's openness to American companies setting up subsidiaries or headquarters, as well as access to funding and expertise. He also discussed the European Space Agency's interest in lunar exploration and the selection process for astronauts, emphasizing the need for diplomatic negotiations and collaboration with NASA.Toward the end, our Managing Director guest discussed Europe's space capabilities and challenges, noting that while Europe lacks expertise and infrastructure to compete with China's moon program, it is focused on defense and rearmament. He mentioned that the European Space Agency is concerned about space debris and space weather and is developing programs to track debris and study its impact on infrastructure. Manuel also shared that RSS Hydro, a Luxembourg-based commercial space company specializing in flood and wildfire risk management, has been doubling revenue for the past three years and is expanding in the US. David invited Manuel to join the show's advisory board and suggested potential US events for Manuel to attend, including the Space Symposium and ISDC in Washington, D.C.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The election of the eighth-term Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Sunday marks another important moment in the SAR's steady advance toward high-quality democracy under the guiding principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong".香港特别行政区第八届立法会选举于周日举行，标志着香港在”爱国者治港”的指导原则下，朝着高质量民主稳步前进的又一重要时刻。This is the second LegCo election since the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress amended Hong Kong's electoral system in March 2021 to ensure the full and faithful implementation of the principle of Hong Kong should be governed by Hong Kong people, with patriots as the main body.这是自2021年3月全国人民代表大会常务委员会修订香港选举制度以来举行的第二次立法会选举，旨在确保全面准确贯彻”港人治港、爱国者担任主体”的原则。The improved electoral system has enabled the formation of a legislature that is broadly representative, politically inclusive and balanced in participation—characteristics that align with Hong Kong's actual circumstances and governance needs. The current LegCo consists of 90 seats, with 40 returned by the Election Committee constituency, 30 by functional constituencies, and 20 by geographical constituencies through direct elections. This structure, which has functioned smoothly since the reform was implemented, enhances both representation and efficiency, reflecting the interests of all segments of Hong Kong society and the SAR as a whole.经改进的选举制度使立法机构能够广泛代表社会各界，在政治上具有包容性，并在参与方面保持平衡——这些特点符合香港的实际情况和治理需求。现行立法会由90个席位组成，其中40席由选举委员会界别选举产生，30席由功能界别选举产生，20席由地方选区通过直接选举产生。自改革实施以来，这一架构运行顺畅，既增强了代表性又提高了效率，充分反映了香港社会各阶层及整个特别行政区的利益。This year's LegCo election is competitive. A total of 161 candidates—including senior academics, Olympic champions, managers of small and medium-sized enterprises, cultural workers, community organizers and rising professionals from innovation and technology sectors—are vying for the 90 seats. According to the Electoral Affairs Commission of Hong Kong, 51 nominations were received for geographical constituencies, 60 for functional constituencies, and 50 for the Election Committee constituency. That means competition is particularly strong in geographical constituencies, where 51 candidates are contesting 20 seats, ensuring that no one can "win easily" and that the LegCo election returns to its essence: selecting the virtuous and capable based on political platform, professionalism and service commitment.今年的立法会选举竞争激烈。共有161名候选人，包括资深学者、奥运冠军、中小企业管理者、文化工作者、社区组织者以及创新科技领域的新锐专业人士等，角逐90个席位。据香港选举事务委员会统计，地方选区收到51份提名，功能界别60份，选举委员会界别50份。这意味着地方选区的竞争尤为激烈，51名候选人角逐20个席位，使得无人能“轻松获胜”，使立法会选举回归本质：依据政治纲领、专业素养及服务承诺选拔贤能之士。More than 600 polling stations, including newly added ones at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge checkpoint and Hong Kong International Airport, have made voting more convenient, further highlighting the people-oriented and pragmatic nature of Hong Kong's electoral arrangements.超过600个投票站，包括港珠澳大桥口岸和香港国际机场新增的投票站，使投票更加便捷，进一步彰显了香港选举安排以民为本、务实高效的特点。The broad diversity of candidates and political platforms—ranging from innovation and technology, finance, medical services and housing, to youth development, labor rights, district administration and integration into national strategies—demonstrates that the new electoral system not only upholds the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong" but also provides a wider stage for patriots of different backgrounds to contribute fresh ideas and practical solutions. As LegCo President Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen noted, the candidates' varied expertise will inject new dynamism into the legislature and bring a renewed vitality to policymaking.候选人和政治纲领的广泛多样性，从创新科技、金融、医疗服务和住房，到青年发展、劳工权益、地区行政和融入国家战略都表明新选举制度不仅坚持了“爱国者治港”的原则，也为不同背景的爱国人士提供了更广阔的舞台，让他们贡献新思路和切实可行的解决方案。正如立法会主席梁君彦所言，候选人多元化的专业背景将为立法机构注入新活力，为政策制定带来新气象。The election carries special significance in light of the recent deadly fire in Tai Po. Voters in the district, including those directly affected, said that participating in the election is an active commitment to rebuilding their homes and strengthening Hong Kong's resilience.鉴于近期大埔发生的致命火灾，此次选举具有特殊意义。该区选民，包括直接受灾者，表示参与选举是重建家园、增强香港韧性的积极承诺。Eric Chan Kwok-ki, chief secretary for the Hong Kong SAR government, stressed that electing capable and aspirational LegCo members is essential for post-disaster reconstruction and to maintaining the continuity and effectiveness of governance. From Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu's repeated calls for civil servants to set an example, to large enterprises granting time off for employees to vote, and patriotic groups on the mainland organizing members to return to Hong Kong to cast their ballots, society's strong support has created an enthusiastic election atmosphere.香港特别行政区政府政务司司长陈国基强调，选举出有能力、有抱负的立法会议员，对灾后重建以及维持管治的连续性和有效性至关重要。从行政长官李家超多次呼吁公务员带头示范，到大型企业为员工安排投票假期，再到内地爱国团体组织成员返港投票，社会各界的鼎力支持营造出热烈的选举氛围。The four-year term of the eighth Legislative Council will largely overlap with the implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) of the country. As Hong Kong enters a new stage of transitioning from stability to prosperity, the new LegCo will shoulder heavy responsibilities: accelerating economic transformation, improving people's livelihoods, strengthening district governance, advancing integration into national development, and ensuring that "one country, two systems" is steadily practiced for the long term.第八届立法会的四年任期将与国家第十五个五年规划（2026-2030年）的实施期基本重合。随着香港进入从稳定走向繁荣的新阶段，新一届立法会肩负着重大责任：加速经济转型、改善民生、加强地区治理、推进融入国家发展，并确保“一国两制”长期稳定实施。The design and improvement of Hong Kong's electoral system are purely internal affairs of China, and no foreign country has the right to interfere in them. The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR summoned representatives of some overseas media in Hong Kong regarding recent false information and malicious smear campaigns surrounding the Tai Po fire and the LegCo election. This is a timely reminder that some external parties are still looking for opportunities to make trouble in the SAR despite the implementation of the National Security Law of Hong Kong.香港选举制度的设计和完善纯属中国内政，任何外国都无权干涉。中央人民政府驻香港特别行政区维护国家安全办公室就近期围绕大埔火灾及立法会选举的虚假信息和恶意抹黑活动，约见部分驻港海外媒体代表。这及时提醒我们，尽管香港《国家安全法》已实施，某些外部势力仍在寻找机会在特区制造事端。A fair, honest, safe and orderly election environment is indispensable for safeguarding the dignity of the electoral system and the rights of all voters. The SAR government has made it clear that it will resolutely crack down on illegal acts aimed at disrupting the election.一个公平、公正、安全、有序的选举环境，对维护选举制度的尊严和全体选民的权利至关重要。特区政府已明确表示，将坚决打击旨在破坏选举的违法行为。

In Part 2 of our deep-dive with Capt John Livingston, we step directly into the world of operational Search and Rescue flying on the CH-149 Cormorant. After years of military flight training, John found himself at 442 Squadron in Comox-one of the busiest SAR units in the country-where the missions were real, the weather was unforgiving, and the learning curve was steep.John brings listeners into the cockpit and onto the hoist with stories that highlight the intensity, teamwork, and urgency of SAR operations. He discusses the challenge of flying in the mountains of British Columbia, battling severe winds and turbulence, and the emotional toll of missions where outcomes hang in the balance. From max-range mountain rescues to long-lining injured hikers, from his first aircraft commander upgrade flights to the rescues that shaped him as a pilot, John offers a candid and powerful peek into what it means to fly SAR in Canada.

One year after Bashar al-Assad’s fall, Syrians are returning home and trying to rebuild their lives.

He called on all eligible voters to cast their ballots for representatives who will "drive reform and safeguard disaster victims".香港行政长官李家超于上午8时30分抵达半山区的雷蒙迪书院投票站，完成投票后呼吁所有合资格选民投票支持能“推动改革、保障灾民权益”的代表。The election for the eighth-term Legislative Council is being held less than two weeks after a major fire at the Wang Fuk Court residential estate killed 159 people and displaced hundreds.距离宏福苑住宅区发生重大火灾仅两周，此次选举已然拉开帷幕。那场大火夺去了159条生命，导致数百人无家可归。Lee emphasized the role that voters can play in advancing efforts to help those affected by the fire, as he described the election as a step toward making systemic improvements to plug gaps in the construction sector's practices and ensuring full support for the victims.李家超强调选民在推动火灾救援工作中的作用，他将此次选举视为系统性改进的重要一步，旨在弥补建筑行业实践中的漏洞，并确保为受灾民众提供全面支持。"The first meeting of the new Legislative Council will discuss support for the disaster victims. We will consult with lawmakers as soon as possible. Through our discussions, we aim to find the truth swiftly and expedite recovery and reconstruction efforts," he said.他表示：“新立法会首次会议将讨论对灾民的援助事宜。我们将尽快与议员们进行磋商。通过讨论，我们旨在迅速查明真相，并加快灾后恢复与重建工作。”Senior officials of the SAR government arrived at various polling stations to cast their ballots, and they encouraged the public to vote early.香港特别行政区政府高级官员前往各投票站投票，并鼓励市民提早投票。Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki echoed Lee when he said that the new legislature will play an important role in the SAR's governance, especially in terms of assisting disaster victims.政务司司长陈国基呼应李家超的观点，表示新一届立法会将在特区治理中发挥重要作用，尤其是在协助灾民方面。Archbishop of Hong Kong Andrew Chan Au-ming encouraged residents to participate in the voting process and demonstrate their support for the community. He expressed hope that the newly elected lawmakers will thoroughly scrutinize policies to help foster a safer environment for all.香港圣公会大主教陈讴明鼓励市民参与投票程序，展现对社区的支持。他希望新当选的立法会议员能深入审议各项政策，共同营造更安全的社会环境。Ethnic minority voters spoke positively of the electoral arrangements, noting that sufficient information and assistance were provided in multiple languages.少数族裔选民对选举安排给予积极评价，指出选举过程中提供了多种语言的信息和协助。Ashfaqur Rahman Palash, president of the Bangladesh Association of Hong Kong, emphasized the importance of voting.

You're in the thick of it. An accident just happened while you were out climbing, and now you have to decide: do I self-rescue, or do I call for outside help? In this episode of the podcast, we dive into that moment of decision, and provide a series of questions that you can use as a matrix to help you decide what to do next. Our guests, Accidents Editor Pete Takeda, and IFMGA/AMGA Guide and Search and Rescue volunteer, Jason Antin, weigh in. Pete reflects on accident reports from ANAC where individuals have self-rescued, called SAR, or had to do a little of both. We break down a few of these case studies to explore what circumstances caused the accident victims to make the decisions they did to initiate rescue. Then, Jason shares what happens behind the scenes when you call Search and Rescue for help, and how self-rescue techniques can supplement a SAR team's mission and help SAR get to an injured party faster. Dive in to help prepare yourself, in case you ever find yourself in that moment of decision on how to respond to an accident. *** If you believe conversations like this matter, a donation to the AAC helps us continue sharing stories, insights, and education for the entire climbing community.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is operating in an unprecedented way during US President Donald Trump’s second term.

From court filings and investigative reporting, several major banks are accused of ignoring blatant red flags in Epstein's account activity that indicated potential money laundering, fraud, and sex-trafficking financing. For example, a complaint lodged against Deutsche Bank alleges that between 2013 and 2018 the bank provided Epstein and his related entities with financial infrastructure—opening dozens of accounts and enabling large cash flows—even while compliance officers flagged the activity as suspect. The complaint claims the bank “knowingly and intentionally benefitted financially … with knowledge, or in reckless disregard of the fact, that Epstein used means of force, threats of force, fraud, coercion, abuse of process … to cause young women and girls to engage in commercial sex acts.”Meanwhile, other institutions such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America have been cited in lawsuits and regulatory letters for allegedly processing more than $1 billion in transactions linked to Epstein, failing to timely file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), and continuing business relationships with him well beyond his first conviction in 2008. In one case, the bank reportedly flagged 4,700 transactions tied to Epstein after his death in 2019 but only filed the SAR weeks later, which critics argue allowed his trafficking operation to expand unchecked.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
