First up on the podcast, will it ever make economic sense to produce drugs and biomedical supplies in space? Associate Online News Editor Michael Greshko discusses his story on the researchers attempting to make biomanufacturing in space a reality, with News intern Julia Vaz. Next on the show, producer Kevin McLean chats with Mads Peter Heide-Jørgensen, a professor in the department of birds and mammals at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, about how narwhals have helped collect hard-to-reach oceanographic samples. Data collected by these long-toothed cetaceans revealed far more warm Atlantic water is pressing into the fjords of East Greenland than previously thought. Finally, the latest in our book series on biographies. This month, books host Angela Saini talks with writer Priyambada Jayakumar about her biography of M. S. Swaminathan.

En este episodio, Carlos Muñoz y Ricardo Moreno destapan las lecciones de negocio detrás de los cruceros gigantes: el "monopolio temporal" que te convierte en cliente cautivo durante una semana, el 82% de margen de las ventas extra a bordo, y cómo tercerizan cada espacio para eliminar costos fijos. También hablan de Mystery Vacation, la agencia de viajes sorpresa que funciona como una tómbola donde el 99% termina en un destino cualquiera de Estados Unidos, de la licenciatura de creación de contenido de 142,000 dólares, y del modelo de arte de Nueva York que te paga por colgar cuadros en tu casa.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Episode 177 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – Aug 13, 2026. Our destination is the salt marshes of the Texas Coast for Redfish with renown author, fly fishing die-hard, and adventurer, Riverhorse Nakadate. Redfish are the bruisers of inshore fishing, known for aggressive strikes, blistering drag-screaming runs, and a stubborn, bulldog-like fight, and the Texas coast offer world class opportunities. Riverhorse explains why he loves Texas Redfish and shares stories from a life spent running wild: climbing to the bottom of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in search of trophy trout, spending 19 hours in an African jail, surviving extended underwater beat downs and shark bumps while surfing the world, canoeing 200 miles alone through the boundary waters, and why a canoe can set you free. In this episode: The salt marshes of Texas — home to redfish, the bruisers of the inshore game. The story of Dickey Betts spray-painting his famous gold top Les Paul red before a gig. Fishing the bottom of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison reached by a terrifying descent. How "Riverhorse" became his legal middle name. Held 19 hours in an African jail Why water and wilderness are "where true living happens." A childhood on the Colorado River in Austin, and a steelhead-fishing stepfather who opened the door to the ocean and the fly rod. Surfing close calls — underwater beatdowns, shark encounters, and more. The case for the canoe.. Topwater bass in the Texas Piney Woods, and his go-to swim frog. Going undercover with game wardens against illegal longlining and shark finning in the Gulf Redfish technique: Texas sight-fishing on the flats versus Louisiana's winter giants, plus fly setups and night fishing. A 24-foot crocodile charge in Mexico, and the desperate escape. With host Steve Haigh | Destination Angler Podcast — THE podcast for anglers who travel.

Royal Caribbean is testing digital scratch-off lottery tickets through its onboard app aboard Utopia of the Seas, with tickets priced from $2 to $20 and a top jackpot of $100,000; prizes under $2,000 post automatically to guest accounts, while larger wins require a Casino Royale visit and tax paperwork. The test follows Carnival Millions, launched in February 2026 with daily drawings offering up to $1 million, and an earlier BetMGM trial with Carnival that ended over satellite-internet lag and limited passenger interest. At Port Canaveral, construction has begun on a $95 million expansion of Cruise Terminal 10, a 145,000-square-foot facility roughly 30 percent larger than the existing building and able to handle ships carrying up to 6,700 passengers, with completion set for November 2027. The port recorded 8.6 million passenger movements and 1,038 ship calls in fiscal 2025. And Heritage Expeditions has completed drydock on Heritage Discoverer in Bremerhaven, Germany, ahead of the ship's first Antarctic passenger cruise, a preview voyage from Ushuaia running November 19 to December 9, 2026.

Join Lou for Memory 347, recorded on a beautiful December evening in Epcot. After a relaxing flight on Soarin' Around the World, we step outside into perfect Florida weather — warm, comfortable, and glowing with the last colors of sunset. It's the ideal moment to continue our peaceful evening with a visit to The Seas with Nemo & Friends.We walk from the Land Pavilion to The Seas, where — to our surprise — there's absolutely no wait. The entire queue is empty, letting us stroll straight to our clamshells. We split up 2‑and‑2, adults in one vehicle and kids in the other, and begin our gentle underwater adventure.Every effect is working beautifully, from the jellyfish to the East Australian Current. The only oddity is the final scene, where the audio is slightly out of sync, creating a funny echo as we pass the aquarium windows. But the real magic comes when we see the actual marine life — sharks, schools of fish, and even a playful dolphin enjoying a toy.After the ride, we slip around the corner to watch the dolphin for a moment before stepping back outside into that perfect Florida evening. Traci even comments on how lovely the weather was — comfortable, peaceful, and full of that unmistakable Epcot nighttime energy.
Shut down science. Close the EPA and Greenpeace. Forget all that climate hoax stuff! We still get hotter faster. Seas rise higher, sooner. Expect more super-storms, wildfires, and closed down rescue services. Disaster management specialist Dr. Samantha Montano joins us. “Stand Up for …
Todos queremos ser felices, pero hay un problema: ese nunca fue el trabajo de nuestro cerebro. Su prioridad no es que vivas pleno, sino que sobrevivas. Por eso recuerda más lo malo que lo bueno, detecta amenazas antes que oportunidades y se aferra a lo conocido. Hoy vamos a entender por qué tu cerebro está programado para protegerte, no para hacerte feliz.
Join us for a cruise recap with a first-timer twist! Sheila is joined by Ric and his wife, Brandi, along with a very special first-time guest—Brandi's mom, Debbie! The group recently set sail aboard Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas from Port Tampa Bay, with stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Perfect Day at CocoCay. For Debbie, it wasn't just her first time on Enchantment—it was her first cruise ever, and she's sharing what the whole experience was like through completely fresh eyes. Meanwhile, Ric and Brandi compare their experience aboard Enchantment of the Seas with previous sailings on Disney Cruise Line's Disney Fantasy and Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas. How does an older, smaller Royal Caribbean ship stack up? What surprised them? What did they love? And where did they find themselves saying, "Well… Disney does this differently"? They're talking food, entertainment, activities, ports of call, the ship itself, and all those little moments that can make—or break—a cruise vacation. From first impressions of Enchantment to adventures ashore and plenty of family fun along the way, there's a lot to talk about. Did Enchantment of the Seas live up to its name? Has Royal Caribbean gained a brand-new cruiser? And after Cozumel, Costa Maya, CocoCay, countless meals, shows, activities, and a whole lot of family time, what would everyone do differently next time? There's almost as much to unpack in this episode as there was in their luggage. So grab your SeaPass, find a chair by the pool, and join us as we set sail for another episode of Monorail Tales! Thanks for sailing along with us on this episode of Monorail Tales! If you enjoyed the voyage, be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, leave us a review, and share the show with your fellow Disney and cruising friends.

What does Scott's perfect day at EPCOT look like? We're finally finding out!But first, we kick things off with a little Disney news that couldn't be more perfectly timed. Disney has ordered a pilot for a new Disney+ series inspired by Spaceship Earth. We talk about what we know so far, why Candice was initially VERY excited about the idea (until Scott explained what kind of show it might actually be), and whether we like Disney taking original theme park ideas and turning them into new stories instead of always bringing existing movie IP into the parks.And yes, if they make a show about Spaceship Earth and nobody thanks the Phoenicians, we may have a problem.Then it's time to officially begin Scott's Perfect Day series!We're starting at EPCOT, but before we can enter the park, Scott has some decisions to make. What time of year are we visiting? Where are we staying? And after debating Old Key West, the monorail resorts and Beach Club, Scott makes a potentially dangerous discovery: if this is his perfect vacation, there's absolutely nothing stopping him from planning a split stay.With Beach Club chosen as our starting point, we head into EPCOT for Scott's perfect day — and surprisingly, he starts by slowing things down.We're talking an early Garden Grill breakfast, Living with the Land, Soarin', time actually exploring the aquarium at The Seas, Figment, Journey of Water, Spaceship Earth, Guardians of the Galaxy and plenty of time to wander instead of racing from attraction to attraction.Then, of course, there's the food and drink.A brat and beer in Germany. A tequila experience at La Cava del Tequila. Wandering World Showcase without over-planning every stop. Bread and cheese from France to enjoy with a beer in the UK. And somehow Scott manages to temporarily forget about one of his favorite EPCOT treats — much to Candice's disbelief.As evening arrives, Scott starts repeating a few attractions for a very specific reason: he wants to experience EPCOT after dark. That means another ride on Living with the Land, another walk through Journey of Water, and eventually settling into GEO-82 for drinks, food and a view of the nighttime spectacular — followed by one of Scott's favorite Disney experiences: letting everybody else leave first.This isn't about squeezing every attraction into a single day. Scott skips Mission: SPACE, Space 220 and Test Track, and he's not willing to call the newest version of Frozen Ever After part of his “perfect day” until he's actually experienced it.It's about building the EPCOT day that feels perfect to him — good food, favorite attractions, drinks, plenty of wandering, and enough breathing room to actually enjoy being there.Now we want to hear from you:Go back and listen to Candice's Perfect EPCOT Day and tell us — whose perfect day would you rather join?And what would you change about Scott's day? Which attraction did he leave out? Where would you eat? What's an absolute must-do on YOUR perfect EPCOT day?Come hang out with us on Facebook, Instagram and Discord and let us know!Thanks for hanging out with us at the Hangar Bar. Grab a drink, get comfy, and remember: there's always a great big beautiful tomorrow!
As we close this series, we shift our focus from individual stories of faith to the collective calling of the Church. The Church isn't a cruise ship—designed for comfort, leisure, and the enjoyment of those already aboard. It's a battleship—equipped, strategic, and on a mission to engage in spiritual battle and rescue those still adrift. Too often, churches unintentionally prioritize the comfort of insiders—those who are familiar and comfortable with the routines and rhythms—over the urgent mission of reaching outsiders, the lost, the hurting, and the forgotten. But Jesus promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church, and that means we are on offense, not defense. This message is a bold commissioning—a call to leave behind passive comfort and complacency, to “man your station,” and to actively engage in the battle for lives and souls. The call is clear: we are not here to relax but to fight for hope, to serve boldly, and to make disciples who will transform the world. Are you ready to leave the deck chairs behind and stand strong in your God-given role? This week challenges each of us to embrace our calling with courage, passion, and the full armor of God.
A Texas man was arrested at PortMiami's Royal Caribbean terminal as he tried to board Wonder of the Seas, charged with felony battery over an alleged assault on a bartender at Miami's Bayside Marketplace five days earlier. Holland America Line's Nieuw Statendam left Rotterdam on a 28-night "Legendary Solar Eclipse with Greenland and Scotland" voyage that will put guests in the path of totality off Iceland on August 12, with astronomy programming led by Tom Vassos. And TUI Cruises detailed the dining lineup aboard Mein Schiff Flow, the second InTUItion-class ship, where 14 restaurants and bistros include FUGU by Tim Raue alongside new French, Greek, Scandinavian and Alpine concepts.
Jen's back! After a Day One that ended with a Cartman GIF and a "screw you guys, I'm going home," the Golden Crew is finally three-strong again — and immediately gets distracted by Christmas trees in August, a heart-having cat named Flinty, and Trevor's alleged palace of multiple living rooms.Then, actual cruise news: Carnival Pride is testing Jotun's Hull Skater, a robot that crawls the ship's hull scraping off slime and barnacles (basically a Roomba with a job, and the crew has thoughts about adding a saw). Norwegian reveals Great Tides Water Park at Great Stirrup Cay — 19 water slides, the Caribbean's only four-person body slide, and Cliffside Cove with 10- and 15-foot jumps, welcoming its first guests September 4th. Bare Necessities brings the Big Nude Boat back to PortMiami in February 2027 aboard Norwegian Jewel: 11 days, zero tan lines, towels mandatory on all surfaces. And at Perfect Day at CocoCay, a forklift and a departing Wonder of the Seas had a disagreement that ended with a gangway at the bottom of the ocean — sparking a full business plan involving magnet fishing, retirement in Key West, and reselling gangways at a premium.Also: hook magnets are the real MVP of an Alaska cruise, and Alaska is somehow 80 degrees right now.43 days to FRGC4. 393 days to FRGC5.
This week we had the privilege of hosting Leif Johan Sevland, President and CEO of the Offshore Northern Seas Foundation (ONS), for a Special Edition. Leif is a Norwegian business leader and former politician with a distinguished career spanning public service and the energy sector. Prior to joining ONS, Leif served as the Mayor of Stavanger from 2005 to 2011. The ONS 2026 Conference is fast approaching, taking place from August 24–27 in Stavanger, Norway. The conference is held biennially and attracts 70,000+ global industry leaders representing over 1,100 companies and 35+ countries. We were honored to host Leif to preview this year's conference, its major themes, and the trends shaping Norway's, Europe's and the world's energy landscape. In our conversation, Leif shared a preview of what attendees can expect at ONS 2026 and how this year's conference theme, Courage, is intended to challenge industry leaders to move beyond discussion and embrace decisive action in addressing the world's evolving energy needs. We explore Norway's unique position as both a leading oil and gas producer and an energy innovator, discussing how energy security, affordability, technological innovation, and shifting geopolitical dynamics are reshaping energy markets, investment priorities, and policy around the world. We examine Europe's evolving innovation ecosystem, the accelerating adoption of AI and its growing impact on power demand, renewed interest in nuclear energy, and the convergence of energy, defense, and industrial technologies. Leif emphasizes the importance of open dialogue, global collaboration, and developing the next generation of industry leaders, and shares how ONS brings together policymakers, operators, investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators to exchange ideas and help shape the future of energy. The Veriten team will be at ONS, participating in a few panels, and connecting with good friends and with some of our partner and portfolio companies that will also be in attendance. Mike Bradley started off the discussion by noting that two key market themes remained in place: lower oil prices and stronger equity markets. The 10-year Treasury yield remained range-bound, showing little directional movement. On the equity market front, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up ~500 to 600 points on the day, with gains driven primarily by Amgen, Caterpillar, and Goldman Sachs. On the oil market front, downward pressure on crude prices continued, with WTI falling by approximately $1/bbl to around $75/bbl. The decline was driven largely by market optimism that the temporary pause in U.S. military strikes on Iran would remain in place. He noted, however, that oil prices appear increasingly oversold from a technical perspective, having declined roughly $10 to $15/bbl over the past one to two weeks. As a result, crude prices could rebound sharply should the current military pause end or geopolitical tensions re-escalate. He concluded by highlighting key takeaways from Saudi Aramco's 2Q earnings call, noting that management delivered a decidedly bullish message on the outlook for global oil markets. According to Aramco, oil markets are far tighter than many indicators/prices suggest. Aramco noted that global markets lost ~11mmbpd of supply because of the conflict and shipping disruptions; strategic reserve releases and inventory drawdowns have masked the true extent of the shortage; inventory data understates physical market tightness; global inventories have been heavily depleted and must now be rebuilt over several years; and it would take around 18 months and roughly 2.1mmbpd of incremental demand just to restore inventories to pre-conflict levels if conditions normalize immediately. We were fortunate to also have Veriten Venture Partner Karl Liapunov join and share his insights throughout the discussion. Karl is the founder of Starting Cold and is the U.S. Ecosystem Partner at Startuplab, where he previously served as Head of Energy & Climate Tech in Oslo.
“Chimpanzee, he said it…he said chimpanzee…” PRIMUS is always a fun stop on the road to Relaxerville (especially if you've got something to inhale), and PORK SODA (the band's 3rd official studio long player) is the perfect soundtrack for just such an occasion. Released on April 20th, 1993, almost 50 years to the day after Albert Hofmann's legendary trip on Bicycle Day, PORK SODA ups the dosage of weird that was previously experienced on Sailing the Seas of Cheese with a unique formulation that only PRIMUS is capable of delivering. If anything, PRIMUS should be called “psychedelic metal” because in a weird way, that's kind of exactly what it is. It's jazzy, ugly, funky, and heavy, with some of the most potent, caricaturized, and cartoonesque lyrics in metal delivered in the weirdest, most absurd & surreal manner possible. For people who have never ingested entheogens and wonder what Dr. Hofmann's historic lysergic fueled bike ride might have been like, PORK SODA is an excellent reference point. Discover the difference between low rise jeans & high-rise jeans (and find out why one variety is (allegedly) better than the other), understand that Amber Alerts are “only important if your girlfriend's name is Amber”, and “go get you some weird” before you JOIN US as we crack open a can of PORK SODA and marvel at the wonderous weirdness of PRIMUS.

Gripping, suspenseful, and layered with insight, this is the first full account of the infamous disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley while onboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean—from the acclaimed author of True Crime Addict.In March 1998, the Bradley family—Ron, Iva, and their children, Amy and Brad—boarded the Rhapsody of the Seas for a week-long Caribbean cruise. The trip was a chance to celebrate Ron's success at work and Amy's college graduation.In the early hours of March 24, Amy Bradley—a pretty, athletic 23-year-old—returned to the family's stateroom with Brad after dancing at the ship's nightclub. Amy grabbed a blanket and went out to sleep on the balcony. A few hours later, her father awoke to find her gone. What happened to her remains a mystery.Did Amy fall or jump into the water? Did she leave the boat voluntarily when it docked at Curaçao that morning? Was she smuggled off against her will and trafficked in one of the island's brothels? In a baffling case filled with false leads, rumors, and conflicting witness reports, the only certainty is that, nearly three decades later, the Bradleys are still looking for Amy.Now, acclaimed investigative journalist James Renner provides the first definitive account of Amy's disappearance, enriched with his own personal narrative that explores themes of identity, loss, and the deeply human need to find meaning in tragedy.With empathy and a keen eye, Renner interviews witnesses who speak on record for the first time, offering fascinating new theories, and explores a little-known side of Amy's life that may explain everything about her fate.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Paul's journey to Rome was far from smooth. Caught in a violent storm at sea, the ship he was on was wrecked—a moment that could have been a devastating failure. But it wasn't. Every person on board survived, and through this crisis, God's greater purpose was revealed. This message speaks directly to anyone feeling overwhelmed by disaster, setback, or unexpected breakdown. Life's shipwrecks—whether emotional, relational, financial, or spiritual—are often where God does His deepest work. Sometimes what feels like destruction is actually divine redirection. Sometimes a breakdown becomes a breakthrough. Paul's shipwreck reminds us that God wastes nothing. Even in the wreckage, He is working to fulfill His plan. Your current crisis isn't the end of your story—it may be the most important chapter yet. You are not defined by the shipwrecks you face but by the God who walks with you through them, guiding you to new purpose and hope. This week invites us to see wreckage through a new lens—not as failure, but as fertile ground for growth, healing, and God's unfolding plan.
In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Review - Doctor Who and The Pirates Aha me hearties, Cap'n Phil and Boatswain Scott take to the high seas to bring you a review of Doctor Who and The Pirates from Big Finish, starring Colin Baker as the Doctor and Maggie Stables as Evelyn Smythe. But there is a very good reason why the lads picked this audio story. Sadly, the other star of this audio story, Bill Oddie sadly passed away. Bill Oddie was a legend of British comedy and more known recently for his passion for ornithology and conservation, so the Who's He? Podcast are reviewing this in tribute to him. Also in the news, we also sadly lost Tom Chadbon, Duggan in City of Death and Merdeen in The Mysterious Planet.

The Golden Crew is back at full strength! Jen returns from two weeks on Kauai with a full scouting report on Puka Dog (verdict: not a sandwich, don't ask Thomas), Trevor discovers Peruvian food in DC and spends his trip pointing at monuments, and Tom... stayed home. Sorry, Bub.This week's main event: things you will NEVER hear a veteran cruiser say. "I wish they'd bring back the old muster drill." "That short line must be guest services." "I put my passport in my checked luggage." "That hot tub doesn't look like human soup." If any of these sound reasonable to you, this episode is your intervention.Plus: the infamous foot-scratching fork video passes 32 MILLION views (the offending utensil has reportedly been retired), Brando asks whether Netflix is secretly out to sink the cruise industry, Jesse asks if we book for the ship or the itinerary, and Jen tells the heroic saga of retrieving her phone from an airplane garbage bag.

Parallel Journeys: Eurasian History through Travelers' Eyes (Cambria Press, 2026) is a comparative history of Eurasia told through travel writing and cross-cultural encounters. In this anthology, Anthony Barbieri pairs accounts from twenty-eight travelers across different historical periods, placing side-by-side travelers looking or going East with those looking or going West. Spanning from 400 BCE through to 1936, the anthology brings together ambassadors, monks, missionaries, merchants, and journalists in order to explore how people understood the cultures, societies, and worlds that they encountered through travel. Structured around these “parallel journeys,” the book highlights both similarities and differences in the ways travelers described foreign places and peoples. Some travelers used these encounters to criticize the societies they entered, while others turned outward observation into reflection on their own cultures. Across the anthology, travel writing emerges not simply as a way of describing a journey, but as a way of forging ideas about cultural difference, identity, religion, commerce, and political power. This anthology will appeal to readers interested in Eurasian history, travel writing, world literature, and cross-cultural exchange. It is also a flexible and engaging anthology perfect for classroom teaching, complete with both long and short versions of each account, helpful visuals, and contextual information — an excellent way to get students thinking about what it means to do comparison effectively. For another overview of the anthology, readers should check out Barbieri's lecture “Beyond the Mountains and Seas,” available on YouTube here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Austrian authorities are investigating after the river cruise ship MS Anna Katharina struck a quay wall and lock gate at Vienna's Freudenau lock on the Danube on July 24, injuring 14 of the roughly 200 passengers and crew aboard; six people were taken to hospital with back, neck and chest pain and were discharged within hours, and police say a possible technical defect is among the lines of inquiry. In Finland, Meyer Turku completed hull assembly on Royal Caribbean's Hero of the Seas, the 250,800-GT Icon-class ship due to enter service in August 2027 from PortMiami carrying about 5,610 guests at double occupancy, with nine pools and a 50-meter-wide AquaDome. And Holland America Line's Zuiderdam has sailed from Boston on the 35-night Voyage of the Vikings, a 20-destination run through Canada, New England, Greenland, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and the Netherlands that returns to Boston on August 20, ahead of the ship's turn in the line's $500 million-plus Evolution refit program.
A review of Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas in 2026. Earlier this year, Matt took a seven-night Caribbean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas from Port Miami. Matt shares his experience navigating flight cancellations due to a Georgia storm and the Miami Marathon's impact on transportation. He praises the ship's cleanliness, exceptional dining in both the main dining room and specialty restaurants, and highlights Perfect Day at CocoCay, Puerto Rico, and Saint Thomas as memorable ports. Despite limited grab-and-go food options and slightly longer disembarkation, Matt considers the cruise excellent value, recommending it for families and couples alike.Hear his complete thoughts in this week's inerview.

We would really have a hard time without them. But here's the thing, they're expensive and an inconvenience to replace. So both of us tend to hang onto them for years and years, even after they get scratched or loosen or we're not loving the way they look anymore. But we're giving the old way of doing things the side eye thanks to Zenni Optical. They're an online eyewear shop with lots of stylish prescription glasses, sunglasses, and customizable lens options, all starting at under $30. Guys, the prices on these glasses are amazing. No more sticker shockI picked the unisex, full-rim black stainless steel square eyeglass frame. I love the way they look. Understated, but stylish. I'm going to use them to read, mostly. As our listeners know, we enjoy reading a lot of crime nonfiction and crime fiction. So my Zenni glasses are going to be put to good use this summer as I seek to drive up the number of books I read. With Zenni, you can buy that special pair of glasses for a particular activity or outfit without driving up your bill.

A Trip Born from a Train Obsession (and Family History) Ryan has had his eye on the Rocky Mountaineer since 2018, when he first heard about their Canadian Rockies routes at a travel conference. Add in a grandfather who was a train engineer between South Bend and Chicago, and a new Canyon Spirit line running from Salt Lake City to Denver — it was only a matter of time. About a year ago, Ryan brought the idea to his parents, and six months before departure, it was officially booked. The result: three trips in one — Las Vegas, the Mighty Five National Parks of Utah, and a two-day train journey from Moab to Denver, with the 4th of July spent riding the rails on the 250th birthday of the United States.Las Vegas: More Than Just the Casinos Ryan, his wife Jasmine, and his parents stayed at Park MGM — smoke-free, well-connected to the strip via tram, and conveniently the pickup point for their Hoover Dam tour and Mighty Five transfer. Day one was a hop-on, hop-off bus tour to orient the first-timers, covering the old strip, new strip, and Fremont Street. A word of caution from Ryan: know exactly what you're buying. Their "24-hour pass" ran from 10 AM to 5 PM and only circled one direction — worth knowing in advance. Day two was a VIP Hoover Dam tour, complete with a comedian-guide who grew up in the area, a descent into the dam's tunnels to see the power plant and turbines, and bridge views overlooking the dam. Lunch was included. Total time: about 8 AM to 2 PM — leaving the evening free for dinner and a little fun.A Few Vegas Tips Worth Knowing The airport is a 10-minute Uber from most strip hotels. Ubers and Lyfts are easy and reliable. And a heads-up for anyone who hasn't been in a while: Las Vegas has fully reinvented itself as an entertainment city — the 99-cent buffets are long gone, and the price tag reflects it. Budget accordingly.The Mighty Five: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands All five parks are in Utah, and Ryan's group covered them in three days through Moab Express — a highly recommended tour company operating out of 12-passenger vans with a guide who doubles as driver. Groups of eight, stops every hour and a half, snacks and water onboard, and a guide named Ben who could riff on geology, history, or nature depending on what you wanted. The pacing was relaxed — visitor centers, photo stops, souvenir shops, and a few short hikes on day three. Not a trip for serious hikers, but absolutely the right vehicle for first-time park visitors who want to see a lot without driving themselves. Meals were included, accommodations ranged from a well-kept Best Western Plus in Bryce to the Hoodoo Hilton (Curio Collection) in Moab, and the only out-of-pocket cost was alcohol. Each park managed to one-up the last — from the red-rock drama of Zion to the alien hoodoos of Bryce Canyon to the staggering scale of Canyonlands, which Ryan says rivals the Grand Canyon.Where in the World?

What if the legends of submerged cities, land-making witches and sea-crossing bishops are not mere inventions but echoes of real events? Whispers from Celtic Seas: The True Meanings of Ancient Stories from Northwest Europe (Reaktion Books, 2026) by Professor Patrick Nunn at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia revisits coastal traditions from the Celtic fringes of northwest Europe, showing how they preserve memories of dramatic environmental change—floods, land loss and shifting shorelines—carried forward through oral storytelling for generations. Drawing on cutting-edge geological and archaeological research, this book recasts these tales not as fantasy, but as historical testimony grounded in lived experience. With clarity and insight, it also brings to life the tellers and collectors of these stories, tracing how oral knowledge endured even as literacy spread. A compelling invitation to listen again to old stories, and to hear what the land and sea remember. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The storm came without warning. The wind howled, the waves crashed, and the disciples—seasoned fishermen who had seen their fair share of rough waters—were terrified. Meanwhile, Jesus slept. Same storm, different response. This week is all about how we handle chaos. We live in a world full of anxiety—global unrest, personal crisis, emotional storms that rage beneath the surface. Panic often feels like the natural response. But in this moment on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus shows us a better way. Peace isn't found in perfect circumstances—it's found in the presence of Jesus. His calm wasn't rooted in denial, but in divine authority. He stood up in the middle of the storm and spoke peace over the chaos. And that same Jesus is still in our boat. This message invites people to wrestle honestly with fear while anchoring themselves in faith. It gives permission to feel overwhelmed but points to the Savior who is never shaken. Whether your storm is external or internal, the presence of Jesus changes everything. If He's in your boat, you're going to make it through. This isn't just a story about a storm—it's a promise about peace.
