Mormonism is changing and the version of it a Latter-day Saint holds today may look almost nothing like the version their parents held. I sat down with Aaron Shafovaloff and Brandi Bronson to map what's actually happening. Aaron has done evangelism in Utah for two decades and volunteers with Mormonism Research Ministry. Brandy was LDS for 27 years before leaving. Aaron lays out seven distinct streams within the movement today and Brandy describes the Mormonism she was raised in divine nature, eternal progression, creating worlds, and what made her start to question it.

Veronique de Rugy: Veronique de Rugy critiques the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, commonly known as the Jones Act, which requires cargo moved between American ports to be transported on ships that are US-built, US-owned, and US-crewed. Originally intended to protect the American merchant marine after World War I, the act has instead caused domestic shipbuilding costs to skyrocket, making American vessels four to five times more expensive than those built in Asia. Consequently, the US fleet has dwindled, and consumers face higher prices for goods as transportation shifts to more polluting methods such as trucking. Despite its failure to achieve its stated goals, the act is sustained by special interests, including unions and specific shipyards, which exert significant political influence. Current efforts to maintain waivers for energy and fertilizer transportation are facing strong opposition from 52 House Republicans. (3)

Captain James Fanell: Captain James Fanell reports on China's escalating campaign to annex international waters east of Taiwan. For the first time, Chinese vessels are interrogating ships on the high seas, an outrageous violation of maritime norms. This aggression occurs as the US Navy is severely overstretched, with carrier deployments extending to nine months and the arsenal of democracy being depleted by conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Fanell urges the US and partner navies to conduct joint maneuvers with Taiwan to counter Beijing's comprehensive national power strategy. (3)

Imagine being stuck in a situation where you're not sure if you'll make it home, or if the insurance company will write a check for a ship that's at the bottom of the gulf. This is the reality for many captains navigating the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway that's been the focal point of a geopolitical crisis. But what's really going on here? Is the Strait truly under total control, or is it a ghost town? This episode delves into the complexities of the situation, exploring the intersection of economics, politics, and fear.The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies, with a significant portion of the world's oil passing through it. But despite the claims of total control, the reality is that many ships are avoiding the area due to fear of attack. This has led to a significant increase in insurance costs, making it even more difficult for ships to navigate the strait. The speaker takes a closer look at the numbers, revealing that the situation is more nuanced than it seems.The conversation also touches on the topic of the Democratic Socialists of America's (DSA) proposed policies, including universal healthcare, free college, and reparations. The speaker critiques the DSA's plan, pointing out that the estimated costs are staggering, with some estimates ranging from $71 trillion to $212 trillion over the next decade. This would require a significant increase in federal revenue, which the speaker argues is not feasible.If you're interested in understanding the complexities of the Strait of Hormuz and the implications of the DSA's proposed policies, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's insightful analysis and discussion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apparently we have entered a new phase of political journalism where the same people who spent months telling us Donald Trump was recklessly bombing Iran are now very concerned that Donald Trump doesn't have enough missiles to keep bombing Iran. Think about that for a minute. First, Trump is too aggressive. Then Trump is losing. Then Iran is winning. Then Iran is making demands. Then Iran is supposedly in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Then the Strait is barely moving any ships. Then Iran's economy is being strangled. And now, my personal favorite, Trump is "pivoting" back to economic pressure. Pivoting? No. There was no pivot. That's the absurdity. Trump has been using the American economy as a weapon from the beginning. I've been saying this since Trump's first term: the American economy is one of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal. Trump understands that. The Left doesn't. They think war is a television show. Bombs go up, bombs come down, and whoever has the most explosions wins. Trump understands leverage. You hit the military. You hit the money. You hit the oil. You hit the shipping. You hit the financial system. You squeeze the regime's ability to pay the people who keep the regime alive. And then you give them an opportunity to surrender, negotiate, or collapse. That's not a pivot. That's a vise. And now we're watching the Iranian regime discover something rather unpleasant. They can threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Fine. Ships don't want to get blown up. So they stop coming. Iran thinks it's demonstrating power. But who's losing the revenue? Iran. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most people think of drones as toys. Alden Jones thinks of them as infrastructure. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) visits Skydio's California office to sit down with Alden Jones, VP of Product at Skydio, the autonomous drone company building "flying robots" for public safety, defense, and infrastructure inspection. With a history degree and a military background (he was a truck-driving officer running supply convoys in Iraq) rather than an engineering one, Alden explains how a vertically integrated company of nearly 1,000 people builds everything in house, from chip-level design to hardware, embedded software, and cloud, and why autonomy, not just flight, is the real product.He breaks down Skydio's "Drone as First Responder" (DFR) program, where a drone often reaches the scene before human officers, and the outcomes dashboard cities use to track response times. He compares the economics against police helicopters (roughly $3,000 an hour to operate and $10-25M to buy), walks through the defense and tactical ISR use cases shaped by the war in Ukraine, and explains how thousands of cheaper camera drones could democratize air support while saving lives. He covers physical security (where 90-95% of alarms turn out to be false), the work of earning FAA trust to unlock groundbreaking waivers, and why Skydio's $3.5B, five-year investment in US and allied supply chains is funded by revenue instead of debt. He also opens up the product org itself: roughly 20 product managers across the entire stack, "strike teams" that work like forward-deployed engineers, and a customer-first culture where PMs are expected to go watch the robot fly in the real world.What you'll learn:Why Skydio calls its products "flying robots," and the "toys to tools to infrastructure" thesisWhat full vertical integration looks like: chip-down design to cloud, all in houseHow "Drone as First Responder" changes 911 response, tracked in a live outcomes dashboardThe real economics of drones vs. police helicoptersHow the war in Ukraine reshaped Skydio's thinking on tactical ISR and democratizing air supportWhy 90-95% of physical security alarms are false, and how autonomous drones clear them at near-zero marginal costHow Skydio earns FAA trust to fly beyond visual line of sight and win first-mover waiversWhy a $3.5B, five-year US manufacturing commitment is funded by revenue, not debtHow one pilot flying multiple drones becomes possible only through real autonomyHow Skydio runs product with ~20 PMs, "strike teams," and a customer-first org designWhy shipping hardware plus software (the Tesla comparison) shapes a roughly two-year program cycleConnect with Alden Jones, VP of Product, Skydio:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aldenljones/Host: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Skydio: Skydio is a US-based manufacturer of autonomous drones ("flying robots") for public safety, defense, security, and infrastructure inspection.

Critics often dismiss the story of Noah's Ark as a primitive fable, picturing a cramped, unstable boat overflowing with animals. Yet when you analyze the structural blueprints recorded in Genesis, modern science and naval architecture tell a completely different story. In this episode of Anchored by Truth, hosts Victoria K. and R.D. Fierro explore the remarkable engineering, practical design, and physical evidence behind the vessel that preserved life on Earth during global catastrophe. -- Genesis gives precise dimensions with a six-to-one length-to-width ratio, which modern naval architecture recognizes as an ideal proportion for maximum stability and roll resistance in heavy seas. -- Advanced hydrodynamic testing conducted by the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering proved that a model built to the Ark's biblical proportions could withstand waves up to 100 feet high, and up to 150 feet with reinforced construction. -- Historical candidates for gopher wood, such as cypress or Indian teak, provide incredible natural resistance to decay, immense structural integrity, and long-term durability in wet environments. -- The specification to coat the Ark inside and out with pitch and charcoal created a resilient barrier that sealed seams while dramatically improving impact resistance against floating flood debris. -- The continuous 18-inch opening beneath the roof acted as a vital ventilation band, allowing dangerous body heat, moisture, and odors from thousands of animals to rise and escape. -- The heavy cargo of animals and food provided necessary ballast, lowering the vessel's draft in the water to prevent capsizing during the most violent early stages of the deluge. -- Unlike the unlivable, cube-shaped vessel described in ancient pagan legends like the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Biblical Ark reflects sober, functional engineering designed specifically for real-world survival. -- Ultimately, the physical protection provided by the wooden Ark serves as a profound historical picture of the ultimate spiritual rescue offered through Jesus Christ. Scriptures for Further Study -- Genesis 6:14-16 -- Genesis 7:11-12 -- Genesis 8:1-4 -- 1 Peter 3:20-21 -- John 14:6 This is episode 381. +++++++ You can find more information here: http://www.crystalseabooks.com/

Most shops treat lean like a poster on the break room wall. Andrew Henry runs it like a competitive weapon. He built Henry Holsters into a company that ships around 55,000 orders a year, most of them the same day they come in, without stacks of work in process piling up on every bench. We caught up with Andrew at the Summit on the Summit, and the conversation kept circling back to one idea: The waste hiding in your shop usually is not the machine, but everything happening around the machine. He walks us through the custom vacuum former he eventually scrapped for parts, the moment "Two Second Lean" flipped a switch in his head, and the shift to one-piece flow that changed how his team works. We also dig into how he is putting AI to work right now, not someday. Re-pricing a newly acquired customer's parts in an afternoon instead of weeks. Scanning thousands of lines of inventory to surface dead stock and ERP errors. Using it as a sparring partner to keep high-stakes customer emails firm but professional. And yes, spending an afternoon fighting with a coding tool just to understand what it can actually do. There is a bigger theme running underneath all of it. Ten years after a lot of us met at our first IMTS, the shops that keep showing up, keep learning, and keep trying things are the ones still standing. The ones who decided they were too busy to leave the shop are a different story. If you have ever told yourself you do not have time for a morning meeting, a trade show, or an afternoon with a new tool, this episode is a friendly shove in the other direction.

For sailors travelling under canvas, the doldrums were among the most feared waters on Earth. Ships could remain trapped for days or weeks beneath an unmoving sky as water spoiled, sickness spread and frightened crews searched for supernatural explanations. This episode explores the dark folklore of the dead calm, including wind-calling rituals, cursed “Jonahs,” Neptune's equator ceremonies, phantom ships, the albatross and the terrifying delirium known as calenture.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/doldrums.htmlhttps://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/tradewinds.htmlhttps://archive.org/download/legendssuperstit00bass/legendssuperstit00bass.pdfhttps://archive.org/download/cu31924079619411/cu31924079619411.pdfhttps://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid%3A53134a1e-1d2f-4d88-909f-f3d840702a8e/files/rtd96k375nhttps://www.brigantineneptun.com/knowledge-base/king-neptune-ceremony-line-crossinghttps://archive.org/download/crossinglinetale00lyde/crossinglinetale00lyde.pdfhttps://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43997/the-rime-of-the-ancient-mariner-text-of-1834https://www.britannica.com/science/calenturehttps://www.britannica.com/place/horse-latitudeshttps://bowcreektoanatahan.wordpress.com/the-sails-hang-dead-a-history-of-the-doldrums/https://blackthornandstone.com/2020/05/21/here-be-monsters-sailor-stories-nautical-folklore/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Before Pearl Harbor, naturalized American Simon Emil Koedel and his daughter Marie operated a covert Nazi intelligence ring targeting critical shipping movements right out of New York's harbor bars. By exploiting social dynamics, casual conversations, and routine operational oversights, this duo turned everyday interactions into high-value intel for enemy forces. This episode breaks down the situational awareness gaps, human-factor vulnerabilities, and social engineering tactics that allowed a father-daughter spy team to operate unnoticed in plain sight.

In this episode of Strange Spy Facts, we dive into the shadowy world of Simon Emil Koedel, a naturalized American who became one of Nazi Germany's most effective agents on U.S. soil. Learn how he turned his adopted daughter Marie into the so-called “Waterfront Mata Hari,” sending her into New York's seedy bars to seduce sailors and steal shipping secrets. Their pre-war intelligence operation, eventual arrest, and surprising light sentences reveal a forgotten chapter of American vulnerability before Pearl Harbor.

Sebastian Usher, Global Affairs Correspondent with BBC, assesses the latest in the Middle East as a deal between Iran and Oman on the Strait of Hormuz enters 'final stages'.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Iran will seek to bar US and Israeli ships from the Strait of Hormuz and require compensation from hostile countries before they’re allowed to sail through it, according to local media reports on a proposed Iran-Oman deal to manage the crucial waterway. The agreement has become key to expectations for a reopening of Hormuz and a resumption of energy flows that have been throttled since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.2) The Trump administration is actively considering issuing an executive order on vaccines and autism as soon as next week, according to people familiar with the matter. The effort is prompted by President Donald Trump’s interest in seeing additional action, according to the people, who asked not to be named to discuss internal deliberations. Options officials are discussing include research initiatives, encompassing both forward-looking studies and backward-looking analyses, the people said.3) The yen is heading into the end of the week having surrendered nearly half of its intervention-driven gains, fueling speculation among traders that authorities may step into the market again. The currency traded around 158.40 versus the dollar on Friday afternoon, well off the strong point of 155.23 reached on Monday. It had been near a four-decade nadir around 164 per dollar last week before the first joint yen-buying operation from Japan and the US since 1998.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During World War II, the United States built 2,710 Liberty ships to move the cargo needed to fight a global war. They were plain, inexpensive, and often called “ugly ducklings,” but without them the Allied victory would have been impossible. Join the Veterans Breakfast Club as Glenn Flickinger welcomes award-winning journalist and author Doug Most to discuss his acclaimed new book, Launching Liberty: The Epic Race to Build the Ships That Took America to War. Doug tells the remarkable story of how Franklin Roosevelt, industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, naval architects, welders, engineers, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans created one of the greatest industrial achievements in history. In just a few short years, American shipyards transformed shipbuilding from a process measured in months into one measured in weeks—and sometimes even days. Along the way, women, African Americans, migrants from across the country, and first-time shipbuilders became part of an extraordinary workforce that helped supply Allied armies around the globe. We'll talk about why Liberty ships mattered so much, how Henry Kaiser's innovative shipyards changed manufacturing forever, and how America's race to outproduce German U-boats became one of the great untold stories of World War II. Just as importantly, we'll remember the hundreds of thousands of workers—many of them building ships for the first time—whose efforts transformed the United States into the Arsenal of Democracy and helped win the war. The Veterans Breakfast Club creates communities of listening around veterans and their stories to connect, educate, heal, and inspire. #LibertyShips #WorldWarII #WWII #MerchantMarine #HenryKaiser #DougMost #MilitaryHistory #NavalHistory #GreatestGeneration #VeteransBreakfastClub #ArsenalOfDemocracy #HomeFront #History #WW2History

The Ship Report, Wednesday, August 5, 2026A listener sent me an interesting question this week: asking why pilot transfers happen while ships are moving, because the process seems unsafe.Today I'll talk about why this practice remains the best and safest way to handle that pilot boat maneuver here (and in many places around the world). And yes, it is inherently risky, even with all efforts to make maritime piloting as safe as possible.

Global shipping moves roughly 80 to 90% of the world's trade, and it comes with a real climate cost: the industry is responsible for a little over 2% of global CO2 emissions. On today's episode of the How to Protect the Ocean Podcast, Andrew looks at one of the more surprising fixes the industry is turning to: sails. Not the old canvas kind, but massive rigid wing sails retrofitted onto modern cargo vessels to cut fuel use and emissions without waiting on next-generation fuels. The centerpiece example is the Pyxis Ocean, a bulk carrier fitted with two 37.5-meter WindWings that fold down like giant airplane wings when they're not catching wind. It's part of a wider trend: more than 100 large cargo ships now sail with some form of wind propulsion installed, and the fuel savings range from about 1% to as much as 47%, depending on the number of sails and wind conditions. Andrew breaks down why shipping companies are leaning into this old-school technology now, from tightening emissions regulations to the simple fact that wind is free once the hardware is on deck. The bigger obstacle isn't the technology, it's the business model. Andrew digs into the split incentive problem in shipping: the owners who pay to install wind systems often aren't the ones paying for fuel, and the charterers who control fuel costs aren't the ones footing the bill for new equipment. That mismatch, more than any engineering hurdle, is what's slowing wind propulsion from scaling across the global fleet. Takeaways: Global shipping carries 80 to 90% of world trade and produces roughly 2% of global CO2 emissions The Pyxis Ocean was retrofitted with two 37.5-meter WindWing sails and helped kick off the current wave of wind-assisted shipping More than 100 large cargo ships now have wind propulsion installed, saving an estimated 100,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year combined Wind can cut fuel use anywhere from 1% to 47%, and purpose-built wind-assisted ships could average a 50% reduction The biggest barrier to scaling wind propulsion is commercial, not technical: owners and charterers have mismatched incentives The IMO has set decarbonization targets for shipping, and EU-funded projects are running sea trials in the North Sea to prove the technology out Support Independent Podcasts: https://www.speakupforblue.com/patreon Need help with your ocean non-profit, company, or project?

Today, we trace Julius Caesar's dramatic invasions into Britain - two bold expeditions that tested Rome's reach at the very edge of the known world. Ships were battered by storms, soldiers struggled with unfamiliar tides, and British warriors offered fierce resistance. Caesar never secured a lasting conquest of the island - so what drove him to try? Military necessity, retribution or a calculated move in his rivalry with figures like Pompey?Joining us is historian and author Simon Elliott to unpack the politics, ambition and spectacle behind these campaigns, and to explore how these risky ventures helped shape the larger-than-life reputation that still defines Caesar today.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.We need your help!

Stephanie Rolfs, like many Bay Area residents, has spent a lot of time looking out over the bay, watching as ships come and go. The cargo ships in particular are so big and obvious as they sit out in the middle of the bay, south of the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge and north of the San Mateo bridge. She wondered, how do those ships know where to park? Are there invisible parking "spots" they're pulling up to? How does it all work out there? We called Vessel Traffic Services to find out.

Barry Strauss narrates the naval Battle of Actium, which begins on September 2, 31 BC. Antony and Cleopatracommand approximately 230 ships against Octavian and Agrippa's fleet of nearly 400. Facing starvation due to Agrippa's blockade, Antony and Cleopatra decide on a breakout battle to escape by sea with their treasury. During the battle, Cleopatra's flagship, flying a purple sail, breaks through a gap in the Roman line. Antony follows her in a smaller ship, abandoning his fleet and army in a move that Strauss describes as a devastating blow to his Roman honor. Despite their leaders' flight, Antony's men continue to fight until Octavian uses fire arrows to destroy their remaining ships. The lovers escape south toward Alexandria, but Antony is left in a state of deep melancholy after deserting his troops. (6)

There is a massive push to revitalize American shipyards, but it's not just about the military—it's an urgent effort to combat the threat posed by weapons hidden in the shipping containers of foreign adversaries. With China currently constructing more than 90% of the world's commercial shipping tonnage while the U.S. builds a mere fraction of a percent, lawmakers warn our national security, and global trade lines are at risk. Indiana Republican Senator Todd Young joins to discuss his bipartisan 'Ships for America Act' and how rebuilding a domestic commercial fleet provides critical "flex capacity" to support the Navy and protect our economy. Plus, Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies Colin Reed joins to discuss how the escalating conflict with Iran and disruptions to the global oil supply could upend the traditional midterm election playbook.
