Send us a textA four-month plan turned into eight years on the road, and that leap reshaped everything. We sit down with Caryl Eve Delinko, author of A Woman's Guide to World Travel, to unpack how purpose-led planning makes travel deeply rewarding—especially for women considering solo adventures.What do you actually want from your trip? Whether it's tracing your ancestry, learning to cook regional dishes, studying music, or chasing landscapes, your why helps you choose your how—solo freedom, a trusted travel buddy, or an interest-driven group. Caryl highlights woman-friendly destinations with strong infrastructure and cultural openness—Thailand, Spain, Israel, Japan, Denmark, the Netherlands—and shares ways to navigate more complex regions through women-only hostel rooms, local rail options, and online communities that turn safety into solidarity.More tips: Caryl's keeps packing simple: neutral layers, multi-use pieces, and a compact medical kit with prescriptions in original containers. We dig into airline fees, the power of carry-on travel, and the truth that you can buy what you forgot—often better and cheaper—once you arrive. Ships can be a smart option at any age: onboard medical care, built-in security, and an unpack-once lifestyle that opens up new ports without the hassle.Solo travel gets special attention: how to meet people naturally, make dining alone feel purposeful, and turn restaurants into planning hubs. We map practical budget moves—museum free days, transit passes, street markets, and neighborhood lunches—and show how a few local phrases build instant rapport. We also go there on romance abroad, both the allure and the boundaries, and we share grounded safety tactics. Caryl closes with a luminous memory from Machu Picchu.Follow the podcast, share the episode with a friend who needs a nudge.Our guest, Caryl Eve Delinko, author of A Woman's Guide to World Travel, has traveled to almost 100 countries, and speaks and writes about travel around the world.Podcast host Lea Lane has traveled to over 100 countries, and has written nine books, including the award-winning Places I Remember  (Kirkus Reviews star rating, and  'one of the top 100 Indie books of  the year').

From the Army smashing recruiting goals and Fort Stewart gunnery training to debates over the Trump-class battleship, carrier flight ops, and Marines earning lifesaving awards off duty, this episode balances news with blunt commentary. Peaches also dives into Air Force leadership travel, the YFQ-48 Alpha designation, Coast Guard infrastructure investments, sanctions enforcement in the Caribbean, and NATO concerns about Russia targeting Starlink with orbital shrapnel. The takeaway stays consistent: communications win wars, space debris kills everyone, and context matters more than vibes.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and sponsor plug 01:10 Modern Athlete Strength Systems AFSOC program 03:00 Operator Training Summit 2026 (University of Alabama) 04:45 Why OTS is training, not selection 06:00 Army exceeds FY25 recruiting goals 07:10 Aerial gunnery training at Fort Stewart 07:55 Seize the Marne obstacle course 08:40 Trump-class battleship announcement reaction 10:10 Navy & Coast Guard vertical hoist training 11:00 USS George H.W.

In this episode of Cruise Industry News, we cover three major developments shaping the future of cruising, from cleaner ship technology to expanded deployment plans in key U.S. regions.First, we look at how Aurora Expeditions is pushing sustainability forward with new environmental protections aboard its latest polar vessel. The company is installing microfiber filtration systems to reduce ocean pollution, alongside AI-assisted navigation designed to improve safety in remote and ice-prone waters. These upgrades reflect a growing focus on responsible expedition cruising as polar travel continues to expand.Next, we turn to the U.S. Gulf Coast, where Carnival Cruise Line has announced plans to return to year-round cruising from Mobile, Alabama beginning in 2027. The move includes deploying a larger ship and offering a broader mix of itineraries, a shift expected to significantly boost regional tourism and economic activity while restoring Mobile's role as a full-time cruise homeport.Finally, we break down Royal Caribbean's expanded 2027 Alaska cruise program. The line plans to deploy four ships to the region, increasing capacity and offering more combined cruise and land-based experiences. The move underscores continued demand for Alaska itineraries and signals confidence in long-term growth for the destination.Together, these stories highlight how cruise lines are investing in cleaner technology, strengthening regional port strategies, and expanding destination capacity as the industry looks ahead to the next decade.

The PLA says it monitored two U.S. Navy vessels transiting the Taiwan Strait, while its Southern Theater Command carried out routine, lawful drone training near the Dongsha Islands.

2026-01-10 | UPDATES #095 | Russia grey fleet transporting illicit oil to keep its war machine ticking over, is becoming the Apocalypse Fleet – a transportation route for covert intelligence operations, military equipment and gear for dictatorial regimes, and potentially illegal nuclear materials, as well as platforms for launching hybrid operations against Russia's adversaries. It must be stopped. Europe's front line is not only in the trenches of Donbas and air defence batteries around Kyiv and Odesa, Dnipro and Kharkiv. It is also sea lanes, chokepoints, and the floating junkyards we politely call Russia's “commercial shipping” lifeline, the grey fleet tankers crawling the globe. “The Apocalypse Fleet” or Russia's ‘shadow' fleet is not just a sanctions-evasion machine for illicit oil. The newest reporting and enforcement actions point to something bigger and uglier: a maritime ecosystem that can move contraband, enable hybrid operations, and — at minimum — create plausible cover for weapons shipments and sensitive technology transfers across an emerging global authoritarian network. Surely the rules of free maritime passage do not apply if Russia is at war with us, and using its fleet as floating bases to launch operations? ----------SOURCES: InformNapalm (Jan 2026): investigation alleging contraband links tied to “Vostok-Akhmat / 291st regiment” and shadow-fleet logistics Reuters (Jan 8–9, 2026): reporting on US/UK-supported seizure of the Marinera and subsequent developments The Guardian (Jan 8, 2026): tankers under US sanctions transiting the English Channel; UK framing of shadow-fleet disruption The Guardian / Lloyd's List analysis (Jan 8, 2026): shadow-fleet vessels reflagging to Russia Reuters (Jan 2, 2026): Finland cable-breach investigation update Reuters analysis (Jan 2026): Baltic maritime incidents and the hybrid-security framing EU Council (Dec 18, 2025): sanctions on additional shadow-fleet vessels; explicit reference to military-equipment transport and undersea infrastructure threats Reuters (Nov 18, 2024): EU sanctions on Iranian shipping; allegations of transporting UAV/missile-related tech and Caspian transfers Reuters (Feb 21, 2024): claims of Iranian missile shipments to Russia, including by ship via the Caspian Reuters (Jun 2023): US declassified assertion of Iranian UAVs shipped across the Caspian to Russia Reuters graphics (Apr 2025): OSINT tracking of repeated North Korea-to-Russia munitions shipments by sea Reuters (Apr 2024): satellite imagery and moorage claims re vessel tied to DPRK–Russia arms transfers ----------Silicon Curtain is a part of the Christmas Tree Trucks 2025 campaign - an ambitious fundraiser led by a group of our wonderful team of information warriors raising 110,000 EUR for the Ukrainian army. https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/christmas-tree-trucks-2025-silicon-curtainThe Goal of the Campaign for the Silicon Curtain community:- 1 armoured battle-ready pickupWe are sourcing all vehicles around 2010-2017 or newer, mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, with low mileage and fully serviced.

Somewhere along the way, experiencing things stopped being the point — now it's just about being seen experiencing them.This episode is my running commentary on the People Parade: the main-character energy, the phones-out-for-everything crowd, and the absolute inability to exist in a moment without turning it into content.From disrespecting animals to ignoring rules to treating the world like a personal backdrop, I unpack why being around people feels more exhausting than ever — and why I'm increasingly happy opting out. There's yelling (earned), there's humor (unhinged), there's a near-emotional breakdown involving a baby kangaroo, and there's a full acceptance of my final form: flawed brand, low tolerance, zero interest in being palatable.If you've ever gone somewhere incredible just to watch everyone ruin it for themselves, welcome to the parade.socials:https://www.instagram.com/twndpodcasthttps://www.twitter.com/twndpodcast

AI isn't quietly changing software development… it's rewriting the rules while most security programs are still playing defense. When agents write code at machine speed, the real risk isn't velocity, it's invisible security debt compounding faster than teams can see it. In this episode, Ron Eddings sits down with Varun Badhwar, Co-Founder & CEO of Endor Labs, and Henrik Plate, Principal Security Researcher of Endor Labs, to break down how AI-assisted development is reshaping the software supply chain in real time. From MCP servers exploding across GitHub to agents trained on insecure code patterns, they analyze why traditional AppSec controls fail in an agent-driven world and what must replace them. This conversation pulls directly from Endor Labs' 2025 State of Dependency Management Report, revealing why most AI-generated code is functionally correct yet fundamentally unsafe, how malicious packages are already exploiting agent workflows, and why security has to exist inside the IDE, not after the pull request.

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #082 for January 2026 - Happy 200th Birthday!  Part 1 - Martha Coston: She Had a Certain Flare Martha Coston significantly advanced maritime communication by developing pyrotechnic signal flares that could be seen day and night, improving naval operations and safety at sea. Ships originally used signal flags and lanterns to communicate, but these were limited by visibility and weather conditions, especially at night. Martha received her first patent in 1859, initially in Benjamin's name, and after extensive testing and negotiations, the U.S. Navy purchased her patent in 1861 during the Civil War. Coston flares were crucial for naval communication, identifying friend or foe, and aiding in rescue operations, remaining in use until marine radios emerged in the 1930s. Martha and her sons expanded the business internationally, supplying various navies and services, with family members continuing operations into the late 19th century. Martha Coston died in 1904, with her invention enduring for decades; she was posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2006. 

Alex Lacamoire is back for round two and I hope you're ready because not only does he put that keyboard to very good use, but Alex was also kind enough to bring isolated stems from the Hamilton cast album. Yep, I know, it's insane. Not only does he play some of his favorite parts (the Stevie Wonder moment in One Last Time and the Eleanor Rigby part of the opening number, for example) but Alex gives us a tour around the orchestra, one instrument at a time: strings from Burn, percussion from Guns and Ships, guitar in Helpless, stride piano in The Room Where It Happens, the list goes on and on and onnnnn.  Plus! We talk Billy Joel, Chopin, Steven Sondheim, Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl, the connection between The Beatles and Sisqó, and Alex shares fantastic stories from his experience working on Sweeney Todd. This is such a deep dive and I promise that you'll love every second of it! Seriously, this barely scratches the surface of Lac's generosity. What'd I tell you? The vibes. are.

Episode 170: Sunken Ships of Lake Superior (a special episode for Warren Shea) Make sure to check out the podcast homepage! 

Burn the Ships is a call to radical trust—a moment to leave behind not just what weighs us down, but what we've secretly trusted more than God. On Shredder Sunday, we confront both the weights that crush us and the sin that trips us up, naming the fears, reports, patterns, and beliefs that have kept us stuck. Through Scripture and personal testimony, this message reveals a consistent biblical truth: God's calling always requires leaving something behind before clarity ever comes. As we step into a new year, the question isn't whether we trust God—but what we're finally willing to surrender so we can truly run free.

TYPHOONS, KAMIKAZES, AND UNFORGIVING WARFARE Colleague Craig Symonds. Halsey's aggression led to disaster when he twice steered the fleet into typhoons, causing significant loss of life and ships. Despite inquiries recommending Halsey's removal, Nimitz retained him to maintain public morale. The war grew grimmer with the invasion of Iwo Jima, where Marines felt unsupported by naval gunfire, and the emergence of Kamikaze suicide attacks off Okinawa. Nimitz, now based in Guam, observed the terrifying effectiveness of the Kamikazes, which he noted was the only wartime development the Naval War College had failed to anticipate.

When God Calls, Burn the Ships challenges us to respond to God's timing and purpose with complete surrender, not half-hearted obedience. Through Elisha's bold response, this message invites you to let go of what's familiar so you can step fully into what God has planned.

Professor Toby Wilkinson. Cleopatra VII aligned with Julius Caesar to secure her throne, using her intellect and charisma to win his support.

10. Privateers and Prison Ships: The Unsung Cost of Maritime Independence. Richard Bell highlights the crucial role of privateers like William Russell, who raided British shipping when the Continental Navy was weak. Captured privateers faced horrific conditions in British "black hole" facilities like Mill Prison and the deadly prison ship Jersey in New York Harbor, where mortality rates reached 50%. 1775 NYC HARBOR

   KC's major league sports teams moving to Kansas has always been inevitable.  It's not just that the STAR bond money is too good to pass up, in the case of the Chiefs, they had no option to build new with an entertainment development anywhere in Missouri.  The team is fibbing.  This wasn't close, it wasn't decided last week and was more like a 48-3 football beatdown.  No Missourians should rejoice they aren't on the hook for it all and can look forward to lower income taxes.  Seems like a win/win to me.    The winner in all this, of course, is Clark Hunt.  His team is really, really good at football.  But his business is next level American Capitalism elite.    Mizzou hoops may be in big trouble this year after a disaster against Illinois.  Bill Self says Darryn Peterson's family is now involved in deciding whether he will play or not.  Oh, boy.     Trump bounce back in polling in a big way.  He announces a new golden fleet of Trump Ships and my childhood root beer stand could be returning to KC in a meaningful way.

A "Moneyball" Approach to Fleet Composition: Colleague Jerry Hendrix argues for a balanced fleet mix, using a "Moneyball" analogy to distinguish between high-end warfighting assets and smaller ships for persistent presence, advocating for new Constellation-class frigates as utility vessels and upgrading existing Arleigh Burke destroyers to rapidly address near-term threats. 1936

Before convicts were shipped to Australia, they rotted aboard decommissioned warships anchored in the Thames — floating dungeons so brutal that a condemned man called them "a college of villainy" where every prisoner graduated "a master of arts in scoundrelism."IN THIS EPISODE: It was in 1975 when the first skull of what was believed to be Bigfoot was found. But the owner of the skull hadn't been dead too long, for the local people said they remembered the creature before it died. And even more shocking – they personally knew some of its descendants – a cross-breeding of Bigfoot and human beings! (Villagers Remember Descendants of Bigfoot) *** A young woman falls unconscious and awakes with a fantastical story about fairies kissing her, how she was treated like a princess by them, and falling in love with one of the fairy men. While you might say it was just a fanciful dream, how do you explain that this girl also woke up with clairvoyant abilities? (The Fairies and Anne Jeffries) *** On 15 July 1910 the Sheffield Evening Telegraph recorded the anniversaries of the day. One particular entry was this: “Prison hulks first seen on the Thames…1776”. But what were the prison hulks, and what was life like on board these ‘floating hells,' as they came to be known? (Floating Hells) ***Depending on whether or not you want to get the scare of your life, you will either want to, or not want to honk your car's horn three times on Burnt Mill Road in the Pine Barrens area of New Jersey. If you do, you risk an encounter with the Atco Ghost. (The Atco Ghost Legend of New Jersey) *** Archaeologists excavating the tomb of an ancient Egyptian queen just discovered something chilling… a 13-foot long scroll – a lost chapter from Egypt's “Book of the Dead”. (Queen Nearit's Book of the Dead) *** Feeling the Lord Ganesha wanted milk, a man ran to get some and placed it before the elephant headed statue in a temple near his home. Then it happened… the milk disappeared as if the statue had consumed it. And then the same thing happened to others… and others.
