What if everything the "experts" told us about globalization, economics, and the future was wrong? Dr. Steve Turley, the "Patriot Professor" and author of over 20 books, joins Robert Bortins to discuss his latest work "America Awakened: The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith, Family, and Freedom." They explore why globalism is collapsing after decades of dominance, how civilizational populism is rising worldwide, and what the new post-secular civilization will look like. The conversation covers the spiritual revival happening globally, the importance of classical education in preserving traditional values, the role of AI and technology in returning us to more human-centered approaches, and how the "people versus the permanent political class" realignment is reshaping politics. Dr. Turley explains why he's optimistic about America's future and how MAGA represents a uniquely American expression of the global return to faith, family, and freedom.

This week is a good time to watch the dark round plains called “maria” become lit with sunlight in the eastern section of the moon.
Lobelia's story begins in the Solomon Islands, a Pacific nation comprising over a thousand islands scattered southeast of New Guinea. Growing up in a small, remote village on one of the six main islands, she experienced a simple and traditional village lifestyle, with no technology and few of the modern convenience we take for granted now.At the end of her high school, life in the Solomons took a dramatic turn when the country was gripped by significant ethnic conflict and social unrest. This period of instability was so severe that it required intervention from theinternational community, including Australian police forces, to help restore peace and order. For three years Lobelia stayed at home with her family in their village, not quite sure where her life was going to go.Once stability was re-established, Lobelia's decided join the local police force. She later advanced her career by working in the Maritime Division, where she got to see life on some of the remote islands. She also had the opportunity for further training at Australian Maritime College in Launceston, and it was here she first met Craig, who would become her future husband.After marrying Craig, Lobelia made the big move to Launceston, Tasmania in 2017. Like many migrants to the region, she faced the challenge of starting over professionally and just building a social circle. She decided to do a course in Horticulture at Tafe Tasmania, and now runs her own gardening business.
In this episode of the Behavioral Observations Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Brady Phelps, about a topic that has perplexed, and perhaps captivated both mainstream Psychology as well as pop culture: Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Our wide-ranging conversation explored the intersection of behavior analysis, mental health, and trauma, with a special focus on how we can understand DID through a scientific, behavioral lens. Brady's Career Journey Brady shared how he discovered behavior analysis almost by accident as an undergrad at Utah State University, under the mentorship of Carl Cheney. After a long academic career, Brady retired in 2021 but remains actively involved in the field. He's currently developing an Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) toolkit with Dr. Steve Eversole at Behavior Development Solutions, and he's also writing a textbook on learning and behavior designed to be accessible to 20-year-olds. Understanding Dissociative Identity Disorder Behaviorally We dove deep into Brady's research on DID, originally published in 2000. His goal was to approach DID from a behavior-analytic perspective, not through traditional psychoanalytic theory. As we discussed, DID has evolved from being characterized by dramatic behavioral shifts to more subtle, self-reported identity disruptions. Brady argued that the identities themselves are better understood as reified constructs—products of distorted tacting that contacts reinforcement—rather than discrete psychological entities. Trauma, Dissociation, and Behavioral Function Brady emphasized the importance of not dismissing trauma reports, while also cautioning against assuming trauma automatically leads to DID. We talked about avoidance behaviors, escape contingencies, and how dissociation might function as a response to overwhelming experiences. He brought up examples like Cotard's Syndrome to show how distorted tacting can manifest in extreme ways. Rethinking Diagnostic Criteria for DID We discussed research into amnesiac barriers, such as the Concealed Information Test, which shows people might learn something even if they claim not to remember it. These findings, Brady suggested, should prompt a re-evaluation of how DID is diagnosed, particularly the differences between the Post-Trauma Model and the Social-Cognitive Model—the latter of which emphasizes social reinforcement and therapist influence in shaping alternate identities. Therapy Techniques and Reinforcement Contingencies Brady detailed how some therapists use techniques like “roll calls” or even suggesting names to clients in session. While these methods may sound extreme, they reflect how therapist behavior can inadvertently reinforce identity fragmentation. We also discussed Robert Kohlenberg's 1973 study on behavioral repertoires, which demonstrated how social reinforcement shaped client behavior across different identity presentations. The Sybil Case and Media Influence We revisited the infamous Sybil case, which helped popularize DID in the 20th century. Despite being exposed as fraudulent, Sybil's story continues to shape public and clinical views of the disorder. We also talked about more recent media portrayals—from TikTok to a 2023 Scientific American article—and how social media can reinforce the performance of alternate identities, especially among vulnerable populations. Behavior Analysis in Mental Health Brady and I wrapped up with a discussion on how behavior analysts can contribute to mental health conversations. He encouraged new BCBAs to collaborate with non-behavioral colleagues while staying rooted in behavioral principles. Above all, he emphasized balancing empathy with scientific rigor—understanding people without falling into speculative mentalism. Show Notes and Resources Brady (2025).

Amy Lynn Bradley was just 23 years old when she vanished from the cruise ship Rhapsody of the Seas on March 24, 1998. Last seen asleep in her cabin, Amy was gone just 30 minutes later. Despite searches by the crew, coast guards, and FBI, she was never found, but eyewitnesses have reported sightings of her over the years... We're coming to CrimeCon Denver!

Send us a textThe mysterious vanishing of Amy Bradley haunts the cruise industry to this day. On March 24, 1998, the 23-year-old American woman disappeared from the Royal Caribbean ship Rhapsody of the Seas as it approached Curaçao, leaving behind only her sandals and a yellow shirt on the cabin balcony. The most chilling aspect? She vanished within a 20-30 minute window while her family slept just feet away.We dive deep into the timeline and evidence surrounding Amy's disappearance, examining the critical moments before she vanished. The night prior, Amy had been enjoying the cruise's nightlife, even appearing in video footage dancing at a deck party. According to her brother, the last confirmed person to see her, Amy mentioned feeling unwell around 4:00 AM while sitting on their balcony smoking cigarettes. When her father briefly woke around 5:30 AM, he glimpsed what he believes were Amy's legs on a balcony chair. By 6:00 AM, she was gone.What makes this case particularly perplexing is the presence of Amy's shoes left on the balcony. Would someone voluntarily leave a cruise ship barefoot? The timing also raises serious questions about popular trafficking theories - how could someone be abducted or convinced to leave in such a narrow timeframe? We consider alternative explanations, including the possibility that Amy, an enthusiastic photographer participating in the ship's photo contest, might have been attempting to capture the sunrise or port approach when she accidentally fell overboard. The reduced speed of the ship during port approach could explain why no splash was heard.Despite numerous alleged sightings of Amy in the Caribbean over the years and extensive investigation, no definitive answers have emerged. The Bradley family has maintained remarkable unity in their decades-long search for their daughter, showing extraordinary resilience in the face of unimaginable grief. Whether you believe Amy met with foul play or suffered a tragic accident, her case reminds us of the devastating uncertainty that families of missing persons endure.Join us as we examine this haunting disappearance and remember the vibrant young woman whose fate remains unknown. Have you heard of Amy Bradley's case before? What theory seems most plausible to you?Magic Mind

On March 21, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley boarded a Royal Caribbean cruise with her parents and younger brother. It was supposed to be a fun family vacation. But just three days later, Amy vanished from the ship without a trace. She was last seen in the early morning hours of March 24 on the balcony of their cabin. Thirty minutes later, she was gone. The ship was searched. So was the water. But there was no sign of Amy anywhere. Over the years, multiple sightings have been reported across the Caribbean and beyond, leaving her family to wonder if Amy is still out there somewhere, waiting to be found. 23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley was last seen by her father around 5:30 a.m. on March 24, 1998, sleeping on the balcony of their cabin aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas. By 6:00 a.m., she was gone. Three witnesses later reported seeing Amy with Alister Douglas, also known as “Yellow,” just before 6:00 a.m., taking an elevator to the ship's disco. He was later seen leaving alone. There were no other sightings of Amy onboard. But over the years, multiple people have reported seeing her in Curaçao, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and even San Francisco. Amy is still missing. If you have any information concerning the disappearance of Amy, please contact your local FBI office, or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, host Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with Lee Stewart, a globally recognised sustainability strategist, educator, and author of How to Build Sustainability into Your Business Strategy. Lee shares how sustainability has evolved from a buzzword into a core business imperative—one that directly impacts profitability, brand value, and long-term growth. Drawing from two decades of hands-on experience, Lee offers actionable insights on embedding sustainability into company culture and strategy. Demystifying Sustainability and Driving Real Impact Heneka and Lee unpack the misconceptions surrounding sustainability—like the idea that a single policy or small team is enough. Lee challenges this notion by stressing that sustainability must be woven into the fabric of an organisation, not treated as a side initiative. He defines sustainability simply: leaving the world better than you found it. Businesses, he says, must stop harmful practices, reduce waste, and create more resilient, value-driven operations. Empowering Change Through Strategy and Community Heneka highlights ongoing leadership events focused on values-driven entrepreneurship, and encourages listeners to embrace sustainability not just as a goal—but as a way of thinking. As the episode closes, Lee invites business owners to subscribe to his newsletter and enter a giveaway for a signed copy of his book. He reminds us that sustainability isn't a destination, but a journey that strengthens business, people, and the planet. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why sustainability is a long-term business advantage, not just a trend • How to identify and overcome common sustainability misconceptions • How SMEs can align with the sustainability goals of larger customers • Where to find high-quality, free sustainability education • Why leadership consistency matters in sustainability strategy • How to build momentum through small wins and clear goals • Why curiosity and adaptability are key to future-proofing your business COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Don't forget about the upcoming LeadHerShip Cruise, where leaders like YOU can network and grow aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas!

It's time for a new narrative for the ocean, one that reflects current scientific knowledge and acknowledges innovative new partnerships and solutions that center the ocean in our future. In this program, Jane Lubchenco, Professor of Marine Biology at Oregon State University and with expertise in the ocean, climate change, and interactions between the environment and human well-being, talks about the two current dominant narratives for the ocean are anchored in the past. The older one considers the ocean to be so vast, bountiful, and resilient that it is simply too big to fail. This first narrative drives pollution and over-exploitation of resources. A second, more recent narrative is that the ocean is now so depleted, polluted, and disrupted, and the drivers of those outcomes are so powerful and complex, that the ocean is simply too big to fix. A third, new narrative is emerging, based on scientific findings, existing solutions, and innovative partnerships and policies. This new narrative acknowledges that the ocean is central to a safe, clean, healthy, just, and prosperous future. This new narrative tells us that the ocean is neither too big to fail, nor is it too big to fix. But it is too important and too central to our future to ignore.

A review of Harmony of the Seas to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean. Staff writer Richard Simm has cruise news.
Spread across the Earth's oceans, the Chinese distant-water fishing fleet is the single largest armada in human history. This three-part series is an unprecedented investigation into their secretive fishing practices. The fleet is so gargantuan that even the Chinese government can't account for all its vessels. We do know it has hauled in more than 35 billion dollars worth of catch per year and sold it across the globe — and yet, almost nothing was known about its practices. That is, until the Outlaw Ocean team started asking questions, and eventually managed to get aboard.Episode highlights:Averaging one dead body every six weeks, mostly-Chinese fishing vessels have been dropping their deceased off in Uruguay's coastal capital for years. But in 2021, an Indonesian deckhand named Daniel Aritonang arrives clinging to life. He's conscious enough to say he'd been beaten, tied up by the neck, and starved for days.We learn Daniel's story is shockingly common in the world's Chinese-run fish processing infrastructure. It's a realm where health and human safety are secondary to meeting quotas and where forced labour and human rights abuses are rampant. We learn how vulnerable people like Daniel are recruited, and how routinely they never make it home.The team is convinced that they need to speak directly to the crew on one of these vessels. They themselves are shocked when a captain agrees to let them aboard. Even more surprising, a minder briefly leaves host Ian Urbina alone with the crew and immediately some men plead to be rescued.
