Segregation, poverty, and a complete lack of role models didn't stop pioneering kidney transplant surgeon Dr. Samuel L. Kountz from transforming modern medicine, and his story is finally being told in depth. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. David Kountz, M.D. shares insights from his book A Life of Impact, a biography of his father's journey from rural Arkansas in the segregated South to worldwide recognition as a transplant innovator. Listeners will hear how a childhood incident watching a surgeon repair a friend's broken leg sparked an “impossible” dream for a young Black boy with no clear path into medicine. The episode explores how Dr. Samuel Kountz navigated racist barriers, built key relationships such as with future Senator William Fulbright, and persisted through under-resourced schooling to eventually enter the University of Arkansas medical school. You'll learn how his background in chemistry and immunology positioned him perfectly to enter the brand-new field of organ transplantation in the late 1950s and early 1960s. This conversation sets the stage for understanding not just one man's rise, but how his determination changed what was medically and socially possible. The episode dives into Dr. Kountz's remarkable surgical career, during which he performed over 500 kidney transplants at a time when the procedure was still viewed as highly experimental. Dr. David Kountz explains how his father combined technical excellence with extraordinary bedside manner, earning the trust of patients and families facing terrifying, unproven treatments. Listeners will hear how consent conversations in that era were radically different from today, requiring patients to take a leap of faith on what felt like science fiction, moving organs from one human to another to save a life. The story highlights that while modern audiences may take kidney, heart, and organ transplants for granted, in the 1960s this work was “like landing on the moon.” Beyond the operating room, the episode emphasizes how Dr. Kountz championed teamwork, insisting that transplant success depended on nurses, surgeons, and the entire care team performing in sync. These details give the audience a vivid look into the human, ethical, and emotional dimensions behind a procedure that is now routine but was once controversial and feared. https://youtu.be/4bX8oFK7iw0?si=4pZP_r7cTEVIgbhq A key highlight of the conversation is the 1976 live kidney transplant on the Today Show, an audacious public education effort that led to roughly 20,000 new organ donors signing up in the weeks after it aired. Dr. David Kountz describes watching that broadcast as a teenager, understanding the enormous risk to his father's reputation if anything went wrong, and witnessing his calm confidence born of repetition and mastery. The episode explores how this national TV moment helped demystify transplantation for both the public and skeptical physicians, shifting it from fringe experiment to mainstream medicine. Listeners also learn how Dr. David Kountz forged his own path in internal medicine and medical education, intentionally avoiding being a “carbon copy” of his father while still being guided by his example of joy, optimism, and purpose-driven work. He shares powerful life lessons, including his personal mantra of taking work seriously but not taking oneself too seriously, and using humor and levity to ease anxiety for students and patients. By the end, the episode frames A Life of Impact not just as a medical biography, but as a universal blueprint for resilience, focus, and staying committed to your goals despite discrimination, doubt, and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Quotes: "He understood he needed to demystify it; to make it a very real kind of event so that people could see transplantation not as science fiction, but as a medical reality that would become more and more common." "You should never not be willing to look for help and look for others who can help you achieve your dreams." "Anywhere he would go and try to start a new transplant program, you could educate one very smart person who's the surgeon, but you also have to educate that entire team."

Bloodhounds have such an extraordinary nose, that they can distinguish - and track - the scent of individual human beings. The Wessex Bloodhounds hunt “the clean boot” - which means that a pack of hounds hunt the scent of human runners, who set off with 20 minutes’ head start across the fields. The hounds hunt or track the runners, and the riders follow the hounds. It the hue and cry of a traditional hunt, but none of the controversy. Senior Master, Sam Heighes (daughter of the highly respected bloodhound expert, Jeremy Whaley) and Jack Jennings, Master and Huntsman discuss the pack with Dogs with Jobs presenter, Kate Fairweather, and introduce star bloodhound, Romance. At a training meet in South Harting the next day, we witness the gentle start to the season. Known as “tub” hunts because everyone’s a little tubby from the summer holidays, these training meets feature short hunts and are very relaxed. The riders, horses, hounds and the human quarries start to get their fitness up in readiness for the proper season ahead. You can find out more about the bloodhounds at wessexbloodhounds.com.

"I have never been able to get rid of the thought that [the 22nd September event] was some sort of joint operation between Israel and South Africa."At 00:53 Coordinated Universal Time on September 22nd, 1979, an aging American satellite called Vela 6911 recorded a double flash of light somewhere over the southern Indian Ocean. That same night, President Jimmy Carter wrote in his diary that there was an indication of a nuclear explosion near South Africa, and that it was either South Africa, Israel using a ship at sea, or nothing.The two leading suspects had every reason to be suspects. South Africa had been caught preparing a nuclear test in the Kalahari Desert two years earlier. Israel had an undeclared arsenal, a long-standing policy of never confirming it, and a secret military relationship with South Africa that, according to South African documents published decades later, had included discussion of nuclear-capable missiles. Yet the search for evidence was coming up empty...Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.
In “Cultivating Korean Greens in North Texas,” Gravy reporter Elizabeth Myong explores how Korean American communities are gardening in North Texas. She reflects on her upbringing in the Richardson suburbs, where she grew up eating Korean herbs and plants from her family's backyard. Those fresh greens were made into dishes with “son-mat,” which directly translates to “hand taste.” It's the flavor of seasoned hands, usually of a mother or grandmother, making something especially for you. It's the flavor of love and care mixed with earthen, locally-grown staples like kkaenip (sesame leaves), buchu (Korean garlic chives), and gochu (chili peppers). In recent years, this intimate taste has been overshadowed by flashier, bolder flavors that have become popular with the commercialization of Korean food. But across North Texas, Myong shares the homemade food being made from backyard gardens and kitchens. Heangjin Park is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin Madison who studies Korean diasporic communities and food. He explains that Korean gardening creates a sense of belonging. “You are being transplanted and rooted in [this] new place. I think that there's a symbolic or metaphorical dimension of Korean gardening.” In the summer's sweltering Texas heat, Myong's mother Jan annually makes kkaenip-jangajji, pickled sesame leaves, with fresh leaves plucked from her garden. In the suburb of Carrollton, couple Sofia Kwak and Kenneth Jung grow their own bountiful garden filled with Korean lettuce, eggplant, bitter melon, zucchini, minari, jeok gat (Korean red mustard greens) and ah oh (cluster mallow.) In Irving, Duke Dukbong Yoon uses a homi, a traditional Korean hand plow, to harvest jujubes, mugwort, Korean peppers, corn and pumpkins. Each month, Kwak and Jung join a Korean gardening club Dal-Nongbu, Dallas City Farmers, to talk about their gardens and trade tips, produce, and seeds. It's been a way for members to build community and bond over their shared love of gardening Korean herbs and veggies. North Texas boasts the largest Korean population in Texas and the ninth largest in the country. The region's Korean dining scene has exploded over the decades along with a hunger for Korean home cooking. North Texas' Korean food scene may not be as commercially visible as New York, L.A. or even Atlanta, but its rich history and quality food make it an important landmark of Korean diasporic communities in the South.

In this week's edition of the flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we are at The Leroy in Fayetteville this week, talking with Owner Ted Belden and Operator Todd Martin, but before we sit with them?!?! FOOD NEWS!! We kick it off with some breaking news- and it's sad news. Springdale's Pleasant Counter is closing. We have the deets and you'll hear from one of the owners. Isabella's in Bentonville announced their closure on Monday, and they may have foreshadowed it on last week's podcast. What's up with Mama Tangs? Stephen Fiery Redd Curgan set another Guinness Record over the weekend! Hill City Popcorn opens in their new spot TOMORROW. Centerton is getting a new cookie shop, and you won't want to miss this grand opening! We'll tell you about Crave! Mugs & Merlot will be opening without the Merlot starting out, but there's a good reason. We find out where the Obsidian Lion speakeasy will be located! Do you have your tickets yet to Evening at the Farm?!?! Happy 3-year anniversary to Perisseia Coffee! Happy 1-year Anniversary to Langman Winery! Falltoberfest is this Sunday on Dickson Street! Frisco Inferno is back this weekend in downtown Rogers! We hear about “Bloody-blood” in this week's Flavors Flashback (yikes)! The Leroy on Dickson Street in Fayetteville hasn't always been called the Leroy. It opened a few years ago as the Luh-roy... We'll hear about the pronunciation change. Also, why a sporting lounge? Owner Ted Belden speaks to that and the inclusion of duckpin bowling there. More so than most places, there's a diversity of clientele being that they're in walking distance to campus and serve upscale pub food, and craft cocktails. We'll hear how they work to cater to everyone. Finally, we get into the food and bev space, and we'll hear about operating partner South by Northwest's influence on the current menu and what that first gameday looked like, and that's next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast.
In the early twentieth century, most US states established eugenics programs to improve the human race through selective breeding. North Carolina ran one of the nation's most aggressive programs; between 1927 and 1977, at least 5,700 people were sterilized and thousands more were committed to institutions. While sterilizations in the 1950s and 1960s disproportionately targeted Black women receiving public assistance, the program's early focus was on poor white women. These policies were framed as scientific and progressive, yet they were deeply intertwined with racial and class biases, reflecting long-standing social hierarchies in the South. Anna Krome-Lukens examines those early years and reveals how such white reformers as social workers, politicians, and activists promoted the principles of eugenics while shaping the emerging welfare state before and during the New Deal. Tracing this history, the book illuminates how North Carolina's eugenics programs influenced the modern welfare state and how their legacy continues to shape debates over social policy today. The episode brings the Book Review Managing Editor of the Journal of Women's History, Ariel Schnee (History PhD Candidate, University of Oklahoma), into conversation with the book's author, historian and scholar of public policy Dr. Anna Krome-Lukens (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill). Copies of Strong State, Weak Links: Eugenics and the Southern Politics of Welfare (UNC Press, 2026) can be found at the University of North Carolina Press website.

Q4 is here, but the freight market isn't moving in one direction. Linehaul rates remain relatively flat while diesel prices stay volatile, spot volume rises around the end of the quarter, and capacity tightens across several key regions. In this episode of *The Transfix Take*, Jenni Ruiz and NFI market expert Justin Maze break down the regulatory, operational, and pricing trends shaping the start of Q4. They examine the FMCSA's rejection of a return to paper logbooks, a major cross-border labor lawsuit, and unconfirmed calls for a driver strike—plus what each development could mean for the trucking industry. They discuss: - Why ELD requirements aren't going away anytime soon - What the cross-border driver lawsuit could mean for future compliance - Why a widespread driver strike remains unlikely to disrupt the market - How diesel volatility is affecting carriers and regional freight costs - Why tender rejections remain elevated between 12% and 13% - Where capacity is tightening across the Midwest, Northeast, and Pacific Northwest - Why the South and Southeast continue to soften - What shippers and brokers should expect from an unpredictable RFP season Plus, Justin explains why spot volume could decline during October before holiday demand brings more freight—and more volatility—back into the market in November. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Since Moby Dick was a minnow Southerners have tried to figure out which states make the Southern cut. SurveyMonkey.com's latest poll may have it all finally sorted out. The Y'all Show is a production of Yall.com and hosted by Jon Rawl.
In the swing seat of Hutt South, a cabinet minister's career is potentially on the line this election. National's Chris Bishop won the seat by just over 13-hundred votes in 2023, having lost it to Labour's Ginny Anderson in 2020. But with National's party vote low - keeping his seat could be key to him remaining in Parliament. So what's the electorate thinking? Mary Argue talked to some locals.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 135-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 47,767 on turnover of 10.4-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Tuesday as investors reacted to speculation (推測) that rising US Treasury yields (美國公債殖利率) and international crude oil prices could push America's central bank to hike interest rates as it seeks to battle inflation. Koo says America is showing "goodwill" over the late delivery of F-16Vs Defense Minister Wellington Koo says the United States is "showing goodwill (善意)" over the late delivery of F-16V Block 70 fighter jets and two sides are still in talks over the matter. The statement comes after the first two of the 66 F-16Vs Taiwan purchased departed from the U-S on August 17 and reportedly remain in Hawaii. According to Koo, the contract for the fighter jets did not include financial penalties (罰款) for late delivery - meaning Taiwan will not receive financial compensation (賠償). The Air Force spent 247.2-billion N-T between 2020 and 2026 to procure 66 new F-16V Block 70 jets from the U-S. The jets were originally scheduled to all be delivered to Taiwan by the end of this year. MOL to extend paid marriage leave to 14 days The Ministry of Labor will be extending paid marriage leave (有薪婚假) from eight to 14 days from tomorrow. According to the ministry's Department of Labor Standards and Equal Employment, the change was proposed through amendments to the Regulations of Leave-Taking of Workers and is has undergone a seven-day public notice period. The department says for the additional days - from the ninth to the 14th day employers are still required by law to pay wages (工資), and after making those payments, the employers can apply to the government for subsidies. The expanded leave will apply equally to Taiwanese and foreign nationals as long as they are covered by the Labor Standards Act. However, migrant domestic helpers and live-in caregivers are not be eligible because they are not covered by the Act. NKorea Rejects SKorean Findings on Mine Planting The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has rejected South Korean findings that North Korea likely planted the land mines (地雷) that injured three South Korean soldiers last week. She threatened to retaliate if the South fires at North Korean troops conducting border fortification work. The statement by Kim Yo Jong came after South Korea's military on Monday announced a preliminary assessment that the blasts were caused by North Korean mines following a joint inspection with the U.S.-led United Nations Command. South Korean Defense Minister told lawmakers Tuesday that North Korea's placement of the mines likely violated the armistice agreement (停戰協定) that ended fighting in the 1950-53 Korean War. DRC ebola cases surpass 8,000 The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed (超過) eight thousand for the first time, with nearly four thousand deaths recorded — almost half of them outside health facilities. Chris Ocamringa in Kinshasa says the Health Ministry's latest assessment shows the outbreak has reached seven provinces, with three of the worst-affected areas also engulfed by the war between M23 rebels (叛軍) and government forces.

In the early twentieth century, most US states established eugenics programs to improve the human race through selective breeding. North Carolina ran one of the nation's most aggressive programs; between 1927 and 1977, at least 5,700 people were sterilized and thousands more were committed to institutions. While sterilizations in the 1950s and 1960s disproportionately targeted Black women receiving public assistance, the program's early focus was on poor white women. These policies were framed as scientific and progressive, yet they were deeply intertwined with racial and class biases, reflecting long-standing social hierarchies in the South. Anna Krome-Lukens examines those early years and reveals how such white reformers as social workers, politicians, and activists promoted the principles of eugenics while shaping the emerging welfare state before and during the New Deal. Tracing this history, the book illuminates how North Carolina's eugenics programs influenced the modern welfare state and how their legacy continues to shape debates over social policy today. The episode brings the Book Review Managing Editor of the Journal of Women's History, Ariel Schnee (History PhD Candidate, University of Oklahoma), into conversation with the book's author, historian and scholar of public policy Dr. Anna Krome-Lukens (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill). Copies of Strong State, Weak Links: Eugenics and the Southern Politics of Welfare (UNC Press, 2026) can be found at the University of North Carolina Press website.

Viriginia plays a critical role for abortion access in the South. In fact, Virginia is the only southern state that did not enact a post-Dobbs abortion ban, leaving it the only southern state without a full abortion ban or extremely restrictive ban on the books. April Greene, Executive Director at the Blue Ridge Abortion Fund, talks to us about Virginia's important role in continuing to provide care for the southern region and help ensure reproductive freedom nationwide. In 2024, more than any other state, Virginia saw the largest increase in out-of-state abortion seekers. Patients are coming from all over, but the largest number of abortion seekers come from Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida. As patients are traveling to access care, they encounter practical barriers, including transportation, lodging, childcare, food, and time away from work. These barriers can impact if and when someone accesses an abortion. The post-Dobbs landscape makes access more complicated for patients and abortion funds who support them. Before Dobbs, Blue Ridge Abortion Fund's funding budget ranged from $9,000 - $14,000 a week. After Dobbs, the budget increased to $20,000 a week to account for new needs.Virginia voters have the opportunity in November to vote on a ballot initiative that would enshrine reproductive freedom in the state's constitution, protecting abortion and other reproductive healthcare into the Virginia constitution.

This week, Cassie Goodwin and I chat with Deesha Philyaw about her fiction debut The True Confessions of Lady Freeman!Listen to hear about:How The True Confessions of First Lady Freeman evolved over nearly 20 years, and why Deesha had to become a different, more experienced writer before she could finally tell Sharice's story. Why Deesha transformed Sharice from a character modeled on herself into a woman who genuinely loves being a First Lady—and therefore has something meaningful to lose. How embracing satire, humor, and an actual First Lady beauty pageant unlocked the novel and allowed Deesha to interrogate church culture without making the story overly earnest. A nuanced conversation about Black church culture, respectability politics, patriarchy, white supremacy, and the tension between what people profess to believe and how they actually behave. Why Deesha wanted her characters to be contradictory rather than simply good or bad, and how she explores shame, desire, marriage, family, faith, power, and the complicated reasons people stay connected to institutions that may also harm them.

Bad Speakers TV Episode 257 | HOODRICH is a deep dive into the life, career, and Atlanta hip-hop legacy of legendary DJ DJ Scream. In this episode, DJ Scream takes us back to his Atlanta roots and tells the story of how he went from growing up in the city to becoming one of the most respected DJs and mixtape personalities in Southern hip-hop. If you want to understand Atlanta rap culture, the mixtape era, and how some of the biggest artists in the South built their sound and their movements, this conversation is a history lesson disguised as a good-ass time. DJ Scream breaks down how he first got into DJing, how he began making noise in Atlanta's competitive DJ scene, and what it took to go from being another DJ with a dream to becoming a name artists wanted attached to their projects. He talks about working on Shawty Lo's legendary "I'm Da Man" mixtapes, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look at an era when mixtapes weren't just promotional material — they were damn near albums, street newspapers, and passports to fame all rolled into one. The conversation goes even deeper into Scream's work with some of Atlanta's biggest stars, including T.I., Gucci Mane, Future, Young Scooter, and Jeezy. He talks about working with Future on the Astronaut Status mixtape and collaborating with Young Scooter on Street Lottery, two projects that became important pieces of Atlanta's mixtape culture. Scream also reflects on Jeezy's incredible run and why Jeezy had arguably one of the biggest movements in Atlanta during his prime. If you remember when Atlanta mixtapes were moving through the streets faster than a rumor at the barbershop, you're going to appreciate this part of the conversation. DJ Scream also explains how streaming changed — and in many ways disrupted — the mixtape game. Before streaming platforms completely changed how people consumed music, DJs could break an artist, introduce new records, create exclusive freestyles, and build anticipation through mixtapes. Scream explains what was special about that era and what was lost when the internet and streaming platforms changed the economics and culture surrounding mixtapes. The conversation gives you a fascinating look at the evolution of hip-hop from physical mixtapes and street promotion to today's streaming-driven industry. And because this is Atlanta, there is absolutely no way we're having this conversation without talking about the city's legends. DJ Scream gives Young Dro his flowers and explains why he believes Dro deserves more recognition for his contribution to Atlanta hip-hop. He also talks about Ludacris and why he feels Luda has been underrated and overlooked when people discuss Atlanta's greatest hip-hop artists. That's a conversation guaranteed to start an argument in the comments — and we're perfectly fine with that. Scream also gets real about Young Dolph, including what it was like working with Dolph and how his tragic passing affected him personally. Beyond the music, DJ Scream talks about the importance of hard work, consistency, relationships, and putting in the reps, explaining why talent alone isn't enough to build a lasting career in entertainment. The game will give you opportunities, but it apparently expects you to clock in for work too. The conversation eventually brings us to another major chapter in DJ Scream's career: Big Facts. Scream explains how he and Big Bank built their friendship and eventually created the Big Facts Podcast, which grew into one of the most recognizable hip-hop interview platforms in the culture. He also talks about getting Big Facts signed to REVOLT TV and what that transition meant for the podcast and their growing influence in hip-hop media. From Atlanta's mixtape era to the rise of streaming, from Shawty Lo and Jeezy to T.I., Gucci Mane, Future, Young Scooter, Ludacris, Young Dolph, Big Bank and Big Facts, DJ Scream takes us through multiple generations of Atlanta hip-hop. This episode is packed with stories, industry knowledge, Atlanta history, behind-the-scenes moments, and the perspective of somebody who has actually been in the room while the culture was being built. If you're a fan of DJ Scream, Atlanta hip-hop, Southern rap, mixtapes, Shawty Lo, T.I., Gucci Mane, Future, Young Scooter, Jeezy, Young Dro, Ludacris, Young Dolph, Big Facts, Big Bank, REVOLT, or the history of Atlanta rap, Bad Speakers TV Episode 257 | HOODRICH is a must-watch.

Trump and Xi are nudging the bilateral relationship from confrontation to stability, says Chan Heng Chee. Synopsis: Every month, The Straits Times gets its US Bureau Chief to analyse the hottest political and geopolitical talking points. In this episode, US Bureau Chief Bhagyashree Garekar chats with Singapore's Ambassador At-Large Chan Heng Chee about Chinese President Xi Jinping’s first state visit to the United States in more than a decade. The pomp-filled visit included a rare sight; President Donald Trump and his wife Melania waited at the tarmac to greet President Xi and Madame Peng Liyuan as they landed in Washington DC. Critics have dismissed the September 23-25 summit as heavy on symbolism and lacking in substance. Chan, who served as Singapore's envoy to the US for 16 years, says building a rapport counts as a worthy outcome. “When you have a relationship, you can make a deal, solve problems,” she said. “The Chinese will miss Trump when he's gone,” she added, noting that the charismatic American leader, serving his last term in office, had taken risks in reaching out to a rival. The stabilisation, which is still fragile, will benefit the region, she said. “We want to see the two great powers getting on because we do not want to be third-party collateral,” she said while spelling out the stakes for South-east Asia. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:50 What's noteworthy about the September summit? 8:00 How far can a good rapport take them? 11:20 What could two more meetings this year produce? 15:40 Why Pax Silica and Pax Waico will not be watertight 17.30: What can South-east Asia take away from the summit? 25:30 If Democrats win midterms, will Trump be constrained? 30:10 When everyone has a view on geopolitics, does diplomacy get harder? 35:50 Are Trump and Xi explaining themselves well?

At the beginning of the current decade, views of China were near historic lows in many countries. Recently, however, positive opinions of China have become more widespread, as measured in a recent Pew Research Center survey, and more people now have confidence in Chinese President Xi Jinping to do the right thing regarding world affairs. Still, in most of the 37 countries surveyed, and particularly in some of the wealthier ones, views of Xi remain more negative than positive. Views of China are also more positive in Latin America, Africa and parts of South and Southeast Asia than in wealthier European and East Asian countries. Anxieties about China persist, including concerns about its government's respect for personal freedoms, the possibility of territorial conflict with its neighbors, and interference in the affairs of other countries. In an interview conducted on August 7, 2026, Pew Research Center Associate Director Laura Silver joins Steve Orlins to discuss changes in global perceptions of China over the past few years.

Send us Fan MailThis week Tara is joined by fellow GP Francesca to discuss Lisa Ridzén's beautiful and heartbreaking novel When the Cranes Fly South.Bo is an elderly man determined to remain in his own home, surrounded by his memories and, most importantly, his beloved dog Sixten. But as he becomes increasingly frail, his son and carers have different ideas about what is best for him.Tara and Francesca talk about ageing, family relationships, continuity of care and the difficult balance between keeping somebody safe and preserving the things that make their life worth living. They also consider a question that sits at the heart of both the novel and good healthcare: what matters most to the person themselves? There's also discussion of dogs, difficult sons, wonderful carers, the joys and perils of audiobooks, and why this relatively short novel resulted in quite so many tears.A gentle, moving book that stays with you long after you've finished it.
"There was indication of a nuclear explosion in the region of South Africa, either South Africa, Israel using a ship at sea, or nothing."In May 1969, Vela 6911 had been launched into the upper atmosphere to monitor a portion of the planet for any sign of a nuclear explosion. It was an Advanced Vela Satellite, carrying X-ray, gamma-ray, and neutron detectors. It was also armed with a pair of optical sensors called bhangmeters, which were named that almost as a joke, because 'you would have to be high' to believe they would actually work.Well, over their lifespan, the bhangmeters had actually worked successfully. Of the 41 "double-flashes" that the Vela satellites recorded over their first decade of use, all had been confirmed as a nuclear explosion by other means, usually by detecting the radioactive debris afterward. But then on Saturday, 22 September 1979, at 00:53 Coordinated Universal Time, Vela 6911's two bhangmeters recorded a double flash over the southern Indian Ocean, somewhere between South Africa and Antarctica...Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

She goes on to explain a business deal wherein she would lend 1857 pounds to Mr. Thornton that is just sitting in the bank, he could pay her back at a better rate of interest and also continue working Marlborough Mills. She goes to look for more papers but is arrested by Thornton saying her name. She drops her head, and at a second call of her name she drops her head again. He comes close and whispers that if she does not speak, he will claim her as his own, and whispers once again her name. She falters at this and claims that she is not good enough for him, to which Thornton says that he too does not feel worthy enough for her. He places her into the same position she was in when she protected him from the rioters. He then say that he wishes to show her something and reaching for his pocketbook he shows her some pressed roses, she at first doesn't know what they are, and after a minute she realises that they are from Helstone and that Mr. Thornton visited there. He says that he wanted to see that place where Margaret grew up. She tries to take them from him, and he replies that she will have to pay for them, and Margaret announces that she doesn't know how she could possibly tell Aunt Shaw, Thornton joking that she will say “That Man?!” to her announcement, to which Margaret replies that Mrs. Thornton will say “That Woman?!” to his own announcement. The End.SEO stuff I don't want to do. Elizabeth Gaskell's classic, "North and South" sees Margaret Hale's live uprooted as her family moves to the north of England. Initially disgusted by the ugliness of the industrial town of Milton, Margaret develops a strong sense of social justice after seeing the poverty and suffering of local mill workers.

X: @Former_Soviet @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Vladimir Jaffe, an American entrepreneur and a proponent of freedom and capitalism based on the rule of law. Vladimir Jaffe is owner of Palace Imports and a board member of Israel Justice Organization. Vladimir Jaffe is a former Soviet citizen with a master's degree in chemical engineering. In the USSR, he was active in Jewish circles, dissident movements, and international media—at significant personal risk—and was interrogated at KGB headquarters in 1985. He emigrated to the United States in 1988 at the age of 29 and is now a successful American entrepreneur. Vladimir Jaffe reveals the realities of what it was like to have lived in communism and socialism from his own experiences. Over the years, a new generation of Americans are favoring socialism with an awe of communism over capitalism. Our conversation focuses on the surge of socialism in America - an ideology and political system that has devastated economies around the world and forced people to leave their lands for free and prosperous countries like the United States. Gallup's latest survey, released September 23, 2026, found that among Americans ages 18–34, 57% have a positive view of socialism, compared with 43% who have a positive view of capitalism. Among Americans 55 and older, the pattern is reversed: 65% view capitalism positively and 34% view socialism positively. Vladimir Jaffe is the owner of U.S. based Palace Imports, that provides 100% solid wood furniture: https://www.palaceimportsinc.com The company specializes in 100 percent solid wood furniture sourced from Africa, Europe, South America, and Mexico, sold online through retailers such as Macy's, Wayfair, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and Overstock and others.

bWhat happens when you stop living the life that looks safe on paper and start following the life that actually feels true to you? In this episode of the SuperLife Podcast, Darin sits down with vegan bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and former engineer Nimai Delgado for a conversation about spirituality, plant-based performance, purpose, community, and having the courage to walk away from a life that no longer aligns with who you are. Nimai's story begins in an unlikely place: a Hare Krishna spiritual community in rural Mississippi. Born to Argentinian parents who devoted themselves to their spiritual practice, Nimai grew up vegetarian, surrounded by community, faith, and a worldview radically different from the culture outside of it. After his family left the community, financial hardship, Hurricane Katrina, and the struggle to survive in the modern world eventually pushed him toward what seemed like the safest possible path: engineering. But despite earning a strong salary in the oil and gas industry, Nimai knew almost immediately that the career wasn't for him. Fitness became an escape, and after transitioning from vegetarian to fully vegan, he entered his first natural bodybuilding competition and won every category he entered. The victory challenged one of bodybuilding's most deeply ingrained assumptions: that building an elite physique requires eating meat. Then one interaction changed everything. After speaking at an event in London, a man approached Nimai in tears and told him that discovering plant-based eating through Nimai had helped his mother regain her health. Days later, Nimai walked out of a meeting, entered his boss's office, and quit his nearly $200,000-a-year engineering career to pursue his purpose full-time. Darin and Nimai go far beyond diet, exploring why money can never replace time, how spiritual intuition can guide decisions that don't make logical sense, why social media is losing its appeal, the growing importance of real human connection, and why Nimai's definition of impact has shifted from reaching millions of strangers toward deeply affecting the people directly in front of him. This is a conversation about questioning the stories you've inherited, becoming an example rather than preaching, and building a life that aligns your actions with your values. What You'll Learn What it was like growing up inside a Hare Krishna spiritual community in Mississippi How Nimai learned to question inherited beliefs and make spirituality his own Why financial instability pushed him toward a career in engineering How bodybuilding became an unexpected escape from a career that felt soul-crushing How Nimai built and competed with a completely vegan physique The encounter that convinced him to walk away from a nearly $200K engineering career Why Nimai believes time is ultimately more valuable than financial security How spiritual intuition has guided some of the biggest decisions of his life Why his definition of impact has shifted from millions of followers toward real-world community How leading by example can open people to plant-based living without dogma or perfectionism Chapters 00:00:02 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:32 – Sponsor: MYCO Dog 00:02:03 – Introducing Nimai Delgado 00:03:17 – From spiritual upbringing to bodybuilding and finding his own path 00:03:47 – Growing up with Argentinian parents in rural Mississippi 00:04:31 – Why Nimai's parents renounced their former lives and joined an ashram 00:05:19 – The beauty and challenges of growing up in an unconventional community 00:05:49 – Why outsiders thought Nimai was growing up in a cult 00:06:13 – Standing out in Mississippi wearing traditional spiritual clothing 00:06:49 – Learning to question beliefs instead of blindly inheriting them 00:07:51 – Living between the spiritual world and the "matrix" 00:08:36 – Leaving the community and moving into a trailer park 00:09:31 – "We upgraded from a shack to a trailer park" 00:10:09 – Watching his immigrant parents struggle financially 00:11:25 – Hurricane Katrina wipes out his parents' vegetarian restaurant 00:12:12 – Why financial fear pushed Nimai toward engineering 00:12:55 – Moving away from the South and finally discovering himself 00:13:15 – Learning to openly own being vegetarian 00:14:12 – Realizing immediately that engineering wasn't his path 00:15:04 – The pressure of keeping an oil and gas operation safe 00:16:24 – Six figures of student debt and feeling chained to a soul-crushing career 00:17:15 – How fitness became Nimai's escape 00:17:32 – The breakup that pushed him deeper into training 00:18:31 – Why someone convinced him to enter his first bodybuilding competition 00:19:05 – Going fully vegan while preparing for his first show 00:19:34 – Winning every category he entered 00:20:35 – Why people refused to believe he built his physique without meat 00:20:58 – Showing the bodybuilding world another path was possible 00:22:39 – The breakup that led to another massive leap 00:23:22 – Transferring to Long Beach while still clinging to engineering 00:23:57 – Golden handcuffs, raises, stock options, and financial security 00:24:14 – Becoming a professional vegan bodybuilder 00:24:44 – The stranger whose story completely changed Nimai's life 00:24:59 – "Because of you, I believe you saved my mom's life" 00:25:49 – The flight home where Nimai decided to quit 00:26:10 – Why he almost backed out Monday morning 00:26:34 – The meeting that made staying impossible 00:27:20 – Walking into his boss's office and quitting on the spot 00:27:53 – Leaving an almost $200K salary to become a vegan entrepreneur 00:28:21 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:30:15 – Why sharing your dreams with the wrong people can create doubt 00:30:33 – Paying thousands of dollars just to leave his career 00:31:01 – Money can be replaced; time cannot 00:31:28 – When your impact comes back and changes your own life 00:31:52 – The people you influence without ever realizing it 00:32:13 – Why purpose became more important than security 00:32:49 – You don't get the script, but sometimes you know what you need to do 00:33:57 – Who is Nimai after a decade of bodybuilding and advocacy?

Sometimes you only get a feeling that the life you're living is no longer yours. Nimai spent years pursuing security because instability taught him that money would make him safe, only to discover that no salary could replace the one resource he could never earn back: his time. By following the things that felt alive, bodybuilding, plant-based living, service, spirituality, and eventually community, he created a path that didn't make sense on paper but felt aligned in his soul. And maybe that's the larger lesson: you don't have to convince everyone, preach to everyone, or reach millions of people. Live what you believe. Be present with the person in front of you. Follow what feels true. You may never know whose life your example changes, and sometimes the life it changes most profoundly will be your own.
