Commentators are warning that Sarah Ferguson could pose a new risk to the British royal family if the former Duchess of York decides to publish another memoir.Writing in The Royalist, Tom Sykes argues that financial pressure and public scrutiny could tempt Ferguson to produce a revealing book about her decades inside royal circles. Her 1996 memoir My Story caused major tension within the family and reportedly damaged her friendship with Diana, Princess of Wales.Experts say Ferguson's long proximity to the royal household means she holds extensive knowledge about private events and relationships within the monarchy. One royal commentator warned that the family understands she “knows where the bodies are buried.”With Prince Harry's memoir Spare reportedly earning about $20 million, publishing insiders believe a similar tell-all from Ferguson could attract enormous interest — and potentially create another major challenge for the monarchy.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

George's probation officer, Reg, has bad news – someone's made a complaint about George's ‘public urination' on Sunday. George protests to Amber; he was barely visible. Reg meets George and asks about his future plans, and mentions some worrying patterns of behaviour linked to drinking. There won't be a prosecution, but Reg will recommend an alcohol tag for thirty days. George is incensed, but Amber tells him to suck it up. No-one will spot the tag under his jeans, so he can tell his family he's staying sober to support her. Ruth and David are busy lambing and there's no rest for David, chair of the Borchester Show. Ben can't help as he has to work at the surgery today. They miss Josh, whose being merely polite with them currently, and want to make him feel better before he goes away. David suggests throwing a big party. Ben agrees to ask Josh if he's up for it. Lily and Ben chat as she has a routine blood test. As Ben mentions the party idea, Lily sympathises with Josh's antisocial mood, recalling her own inheritance issues at Lower Loxley. Ben's happy to not be in the running at Brookfield. Lily asks him about moving back into the Stables when Josh goes.Later, David and Ruth want to discuss their ideas for Josh's party. Lily then reports Josh isn't up for it. Ben suggests Josh would enjoy a meal out. Ruth starts booking a fancy sushi place, but David worries it won't be enough to convince Josh he's not the ‘Spare'.

„Bakterien sind nicht unsere Feinde. Sie sind ein fundamentaler Teil des Lebens. Ohne Bakterien gäbe es uns Menschen nicht.“ – Bakterien gehören zu den ältesten Lebensformen der Erde und spielen bis heute eine zentrale Rolle in fast allen Ökosystemen. Wir finden sie auf unserer Haut, im Darm, in der Luft und im Boden. Kurz gesagt: Bakterien sind praktisch überall. Trotzdem haben sie ein Imageproblem. Viele Menschen denken bei Bakterien zuerst an Krankheit. Dieses Bild hat historische Gründe. Die frühe Mikrobiologie wurde stark durch Forscher wie Robert Koch und Louis Pasteur geprägt, die zeigen konnten, dass bestimmte Mikroorganismen schwere Infektionen auslösen. Seitdem verbinden wir Bakterien häufig automatisch mit Gefahr. In diesem HEALTH NERDS Deep Dive spricht Podcast-Host Felix Moese mit Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum über die komplexe Welt der Bakterien. Faszinierend: Bakterien sind keine Untergruppe von Tieren oder Pflanzen, sondern eine eigene Domäne des Lebens mit eigener Zellstruktur und eigenem Stoffwechsel. Der menschliche Körper selbst ist ein Lebensraum für Milliarden von Mikroorganismen. Die Zahl der Bakterien in unserem Körper ist ungefähr vergleichbar mit der Zahl unserer eigenen Körperzellen. Zusammen bilden sie unser Mikrobiom. Viele dieser Mikroorganismen leben in enger Symbiose mit uns. Sie unterstützen Verdauungsprozesse, produzieren wichtige Stoffwechselprodukte, trainieren unser Immunsystem und helfen dabei, krankmachende Keime in Schach zu halten. Entscheidend für die Stabilität dieses Systems ist die Vielfalt der bakteriellen Gemeinschaft. Je größer die Diversität, desto robuster das Mikrobiom. Bakterien agieren dabei nicht isoliert. Über chemische Signalmoleküle können sie miteinander kommunizieren und ihr Verhalten koordinieren. Dieser Prozess wird als Quorum Sensing bezeichnet. Erst wenn genügend Bakterien vorhanden sind, werden bestimmte Gene aktiviert und gemeinsame Funktionen ausgeführt. Die moderne Forschung zeigt deshalb ein neues Bild: Der Mensch ist kein isolierter Organismus. Er ist ein komplexes Ökosystem. Und Bakterien sind ein zentraler Teil davon. HEALTH NERDS.

Konstantin Ulrich von Cake Wallet erklärt, wie finanzielle Privatsphäre durch technische Standards wie Silent Payments in den Alltag integriert wird. Wir besprechen die Notwendigkeit von Open-Source-Tools, um sich von der Zensur zentraler Zahlungsdienstleister wie Visa oder Mastercard zu lösen. Der Fokus liegt auf der praktischen Anwendung von Kryptowährungen als elektronisches Bargeld, der Sicherheit von Seed-Phrasen und der nahtlosen Verbindung zwischen mobilen Hot Wallets und Hardware Wallets wie der Bitbox.

Portland is offering homeowners $1,000 to rent out spare rooms for 12 months at no more than $800 a month through PadSplit or the Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon. Mayor Keith Wilson claims this 'home sharing' program is a fast and cost-effective way to increase housing stock and solve homelessness. However, critics argue that $800 is unaffordable for many homeless individuals, questioning who this program truly benefits. Past efforts, like Multnomah County's 'Housing Multnomah Now,' housed only 311 households, raising concerns about the effectiveness of incentivizing landlords. Asking homeowners to rent rooms cheaply in their own homes poses a greater challenge than renting out vacant units. The program's success remains uncertain, with participation numbers yet to be revealed.

„Altern ist kein Fehler der Natur – sondern ein biologischer Prozess.“ Wir alle werden älter. Doch die moderne Forschung stellt eine spannende Frage: Ist Altern einfach ein natürlicher Teil des Lebens – oder ein Prozess, den wir beeinflussen können? Offiziell gilt Altern nicht als Krankheit. Gleichzeitig ist es der größte Risikofaktor für viele chronische Erkrankungen. In dieser HEALTH NERDS Episode sprechen Podcast-Host Felix Moese und Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum über die Biologie des Alterns. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, was in unserem Körper tatsächlich passiert, wenn wir älter werden. Alterung beginnt auf zellulärer Ebene: Mit jeder Zellteilung verkürzen sich Telomere, die Energieproduktion in unseren Mitochondrien verändert sich, entzündliche Prozesse können zunehmen und auch die Regulation unserer Gene verschiebt sich im Laufe der Zeit. Die Forschung fasst diese Veränderungen unter dem Begriff der „Hallmarks of Aging“ zusammen – zentrale biologische Mechanismen, die den Alterungsprozess im Körper antreiben. Die Wissenschaft versteht Altern heute nicht als plötzliches Ereignis, sondern als langfristigen Prozess, bei dem sich viele kleine Veränderungen über Jahre und Jahrzehnte summieren. Gleichzeitig wird intensiv diskutiert, wie realistisch Versprechen rund um Longevity, biologisches Alter oder sogar mögliche „Verjüngung“ tatsächlich sind. Extreme Longevity-Experimente werden dabei kritisch eingeordnet. Vieles, was dort propagiert wird, basiert letztlich auf bekannten Grundlagen: guter Schlaf, regelmäßige Bewegung, eine ausgewogene Ernährung und ausreichend Regeneration. Gleichzeitig zeigt die Forschung klar, dass es bislang keine Methode gibt, den biologischen Alterungsprozess vollständig aufzuhalten. HEALTH NERDS. Mensch, einfach erklärt.

In this powerful and deeply human episode of Kidney Transplant Conversations, filmmaker Donald Griswold shares the extraordinary story behind his documentary film "Abundant," a cinematic exploration of one of the rarest and most profound acts of generosity: non-directed living kidney donation. Donald, a first-time filmmaker at age 59 after a career in medical marketing, was drawn into the kidney donation world through research that revealed both a profound need and an untold story. What he discovered was not just a medical process, but a community defined by courage, empathy, and transformation. Abundant brings these stories to life through an innovative fusion of live storytelling, professional dance, and visual art, creating an immersive emotional experience that goes far beyond traditional documentary filmmaking. The film features real donors who step onto the stage to share aspects of their personal journeys: why they chose to give part of themselves to a stranger, and how that decision reshaped their identity and sense of purpose. Their stories reveal the transition from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. Donald explains that Abundant was designed not just to inform, but to inspire and to open conversations, demystify donation, and empower patients and families to see new possibilities. With screenings across the country and a streaming release planned for March 2026, the film represents innovative advocacy rooted in storytelling, emotional connection, and human truth. Abundant is ultimately a testament to what becomes possible when ordinary people embrace extraordinary generosity, and how one story can change countless lives. Available for streaming March 26, 2026 at www.AbundantMovie.com, Abundant invites viewers to share the film and start the first step toward transplant and living donation.  Resources: Website: https://AbundantMovie.com  Streaming from: https://stuff.io (commencing March 26)    About Donald Griswold:  Donald Griswold - "Abundant" Writer, Director, and Producer, has lived in the Dallas, Texas area most of his life. ABUNDANT is his first documentary feature film, completing a life-long dream of being a filmmaker.  Donald graduated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Arts in Radio, Television and Film, specializing in film writing. Donald has written and directed narrative, comedic and business scripts for video and audio. Donald's experience includes writing, directing, and producing a wide range of video productions ranging from full-length DVD concepts to television commercials. He also has ghost written a memoir for a notable figure in the field of engineering. Storytelling has always had great meaning to Donald. “At the heart, I am a writer first.  And I've spent a lifetime learning the subtleties of telling a layered story.  In fiction, I love tools like implication and context to allow the audience to play a part in understanding a story for themselves.  But with filmmaking… Wow!  there are so many ways to evoke emotion and connection with the audience.  There are so many layers you can touch and create to effect that immersion and I enjoyed working in all of them!  These are all reasons why I had to base my first feature film in the actual world of storytelling.” Donald also writes works of fiction and non-fiction, and he published his first novel, Dying Light in 2017. In 2018, Donald opened Maitri River Productions, a non-fiction media production business to make media that inspires social change. ABUNDANT  is the first production of Maitri River Productions.  As a storyteller, Donald has appeared in Oral Fixation, the critically acclaimed Dallas-based storytelling show. In 2015, his story for the show Push the Envelope was voted by the public as Best in Show, and he performed the story in the annual Best of Season show. Donald has also produced Word of Mouth, a live storytelling series that hosted shows in Dallas and Atlanta. Donald is a long-time supporter of the arts in Dallas. He supports museums, local artists, and live performance, especially ShakespeareDallas.

Last night, I had the opportunity to speak virtually alongside a renowned freedom-fighter named Mike Arnold with Nigerian-Americans now living in Houston and best described as foreign-born American patriots. These men and women appreciate intensely how precious – and how perishable – are the liberties most of us who had the God-given privilege of being born in this country take for granted.  They also recognize the mortal threat to Texas and the rest of the United States posed by adherents to Islam's totalitarian prescription for jihadist conquest known as sharia. After all, such sharia-supremacists have for years been genocidally murdering their fellow Christians in Nigeria with impunity.  Nigerian expatriates who are now U.S. citizens are especially motivated to vote for the Texas Republican primary's Proposition 10 which calls for prohibiting sharia in that state. Every patriotic Texan should without fail do the same. BanSharia.com.  This is Frank Gaffney.

In January 2023, Prince Harry published his memoirs, in the form of an autobiography entitled "Spare". The book led to a lot of controversy, particularly regarding the relationship between Harry and his brother William, the future King of England. A number of observers have suggested that Prince Harry suffers from second child syndrome. For example, behavioural expert Abdullah Boulad was quoted by the Daily Express and other media outlets as saying: “In the long term, Harry may focus for the rest of his life on blaming others for his missed childhood and life circumstances.” What are the negative effects of this syndrome? How can I as a parent prevent second child syndrome? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Prince Harry reportedly attempted to reopen communication with Prince William through a trusted intermediary, but according to Omid Scobie the outreach led nowhere, leaving the “stone wall” between the brothers firmly intact. The renewed tension revisits claims from Spare, where Harry described a physical confrontation in 2019 — an account sources close to William continue to dispute. Meanwhile, Prince William is positioning himself as a leading voice on mental health, calling male suicide in the United Kingdom a “real national catastrophe” and urging men to speak more openly about their emotions. In a separate announcement, the Prince of Wales confirmed that the 2026 Earthshot Prize will be held in Mumbai, awarding $1 million each to five environmental innovators as he doubles down on his climate legacy.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

What Is This All For? 12 Even now— this is the Lord's declaration— turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning. 13 Tear your hearts, not just your clothes, and return to the Lord your God. For he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in faithful love, and he relents from sending disaster. 14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind him, so you can offer a grain offering and a drink offering to the Lord your God. 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion! Announce a sacred fast; proclaim a solemn assembly. 16 Gather the people; sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; gather the infants, even babies nursing at the breast. Let the groom leave his bedroom, and the bride her honeymoon chamber. 17 Let the priests, the Lord's ministers, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, "Have pity on your people, Lord, and do not make your inheritance a disgrace, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'" 18 Then the Lord became jealous for his land and spared his people. 19 The Lord answered his people: Look, I am about to send you grain, new wine, and fresh oil. You will be satiated with them, and I will no longer make you a disgrace among the nations.  Joel 2:12–19 [CSB] What are the ashes drawn in the shape of the cross on our foreheads for? To bring out that mark God already has made on you. When He baptized you into His name...into His Son...on the Cross where He punished Jesus instead of destroying you... Like He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Like He did other nations. Like He did Israel. Like He will the whole world. Why? Because we deserve to be!Disaster is right on our doorsteps! You think not? People are sneering...fists raised...yes, they are saying they can do what they want...they are defying God. Hear them? Listen to what is really being said: “Ha! We can do what we like. Watch and see! And we will do it again! So where...where… is your God when I do it to His face? Where is He who calls all that we like to do...all what I want to do...evil…? Where is He to punish what He calls sin?” God says, "From dust you were taken and to dust you will return..." No one escapes death. No one. God will not be mocked. He says that, "The wages of sin is death."That is what God told Adam because of his and his wife's sin. Yes, and to dust the world will be reduced to also... …soon now...maybe here in America sooner than Africa. I don't know. But remember, Nineveh repented. God spared them for several generations—over 200 years I think it was. Pray America... pray Illinois… and Lombard… repents also… repents—before it is too late. Yes, because... 12 "even now," declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; 13 and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster. 14 Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God? Even so, still....all returns to dust. But only those with the sign of the cross on them will be raised to newness of life. Only those who return to the Lord will be saved...those who return to the place where that mark was made. This is what Lent is for. To mark us again for our burial. Yes, as we know what the consequences of sin are. Death. Yes, from dust we too were taken and will return... But with that mark...made with water… and Word…we won't stay there.  15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; 16 gather the people. Consecrate the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber. We have...we are...it is called Lent. It is called the application of ashes...consecrating you again for burial...with Christ...in that living and ever flowing Water...the very waters of life... So that we will be spared eternal destruction...flames and ash... To be instead raised to eternal life. Take the ash now...death now...so that life eternal is ours later. Yes, Lent is preparation for our death now, but only for Easter later—our very own Easter. Easter...our Easter, is only possible with the Cross...with Jesus' death...and our death in Him...in Water...in Word...in this life...in this world...with its ways.... Lent is a time to fast and pray. To die to self. To die to sin. To switch our focus. To remove things in our lives that distract and blind us from the truth...for that which brings death and destruction.... Yes, to focus on dying...to let our sin nature die again...to drown it...that those things of sin to be removed...cleared away...cleaned off...the things that entrap us again in this world...in sin...that bring God's wrath and doom...fire and ash.... ...let them go...walk away...let them die...to be replaced with life...that new life to come...that He even gives a start of this here and now...a down payment from His Easter for the Easter to come... Yes, because then it does... Don't you know, Easter already has come? Then for sure, it is to be ours next! So...yes, lets get ready... 17 Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep and say, "Spare your people, O Lord, and make not your heritage a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'" We can answer this...we can answer them—answer and say that it is not yet too late...even for them: Tell them that: He is here...in His Word...which endures forever...in the Living Water that marked us forever to be His...and in His Supper where He meets with us...feeds us...helps us to live in this world that is going to be in flames soon...a heap of ash all too soon... And then Easter. Easter is so near. Ours...and yes the Earth's too. It too is waiting...it too will also be reborn out of those ashes...just as we will be, it will be free of sin's decay...no longer filled with death... All new and green...alive...really alive...as it was meant to be...forever. Yes, He has called us. We have come. He has marked us. We have cried out and we will do so until the end—call to Him. We will look to Him. We have turned to Him for mercy. We mourn and cry out: "Spare your people, O Lord...!" And what does He do? How does He answer? He has already...He has acted...has answered. Jesus came and died...Jesus rose again...Jesus came to us—to you in water and word...and does in bread and wine. He has marked us for death so that we can live. Yes, He responds...He answers because.... 18 Then the Lord became jealous for his land and had pity on his people. 19 The Lord answered and said to his people, “Behold, I am sending to you grain, wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied... All of this has started already to come to us...in Word and Sacrament....because of Easter... We are being filled up...with Him....today even...because of Easter... …and then we will see—the world and the devil will see. Easter is almost here. God says, "...I will no more make you a reproach among the nations." This… All because Easter has already come. Ours is next. Morning is about to dawn. He is coming...in the fire of His Glory... He will rise upon the earth—death dying in that intense… on His light. Then it is up and out...for all those marked by sign...in His name...as all is burned into ash.... …and then glory...and then the Easter morning...the forever Son forever...our Emmauel with us… aways, world without end. Amen.

February 18, 2026 Joel 2:12-17 (ESV) 12 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; 13 and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster. 14 Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God? 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; 16 gather the people. Consecrate the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber. 17 Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep and say, “Spare your people, O Lord, and make not your heritage a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?'”

Ash Wednesday Old Testament: Joel 2:1-2,12-17  1Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming, it is near— 2a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness spread upon the mountains a great and powerful army comes; their like has never been from of old, nor will be again after them in ages to come. 12Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; 13rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing. 14Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord, your God? 15Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly; 16gather the people. Sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; gather the children, even infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her canopy. 17Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep. Let them say, "Spare your people, O Lord, and do not make your heritage a mockery, a byword among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'" Psalm: Psalm 103 or 103:8-14 [1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, *        and all that is within me, bless his holy Name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, *        and forget not all his benefits. 3 He forgives all your sins *        and heals all your infirmities; 4 He redeems your life from the grave *        and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness; 5 He satisfies you with good things, *        and your youth is renewed like an eagle's. 6 The Lord executes righteousness *        and judgment for all who are oppressed. 7 He made his ways known to Moses *        and his works to the children of Israel.] 8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, *        slow to anger and of great kindness. 9 He will not always accuse us, *        nor will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *        nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, *        so is his mercy great upon those who fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, *        so far has he removed our sins from us. 13 As a father cares for his children, *        so does the Lord care for those who fear him. 14 For he himself knows whereof we are made; *        he remembers that we are but dust. [15 Our days are like the grass; *        we flourish like a flower of the field; 16 When the wind goes over it, it is gone, *        and its place shall know it no more. 17 But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever                                on those who fear him, *        and his righteousness on children's children; 18 On those who keep his covenant *        and remember his commandments and do them. 19 The Lord has set his throne in heaven, *        and his kingship has dominion over all. 20 Bless the Lord, you angels of his,     you mighty ones who do his bidding, *        and hearken to the voice of his word. 21 Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, *        you ministers of his who do his will. 22 Bless the Lord, all you works of his,     in all places of his dominion; *        bless the Lord, O my soul.] Epistle: 2 Corinthians 5:20b-6:10 20We entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 1As we work together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. 2For he says, "At an acceptable time I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have helped you." See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation! 3We are putting no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,4but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, 5beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; 6by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love, 7truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; 8in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying, and see—we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed; 10as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything. Gospel: Matthew 6:1-6,16-21 1"Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2"So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. 3But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 5"And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.6But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 16"And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. 17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; 20but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

In our latest Winter Olympics Special, we discuss Kirsty Muir just missing out on a medal in the Ski Big Air, plus Chemmy Alcott shares her predictions for the Women's Slalom. We also find out what life is like in an Olympic Village, plus we look at the new sport of SkiMo.Host, Iain Martin, was joined by Olympian and former Team GB Skier X athlete Emily Sarsfield. SHOW NOTESKirsty Muir finished 4th in the Ski Big Air (1:00)Why Kirsty opted to go big for her final trick (2:00)“The judges have ranges for tricks. She had already nearly maxed out the available score for trick A and while the score for trick B was high, it wasn't that clean a jump, so had more scope to increase. That trick has scored in the 96/7 range before. Plus on run three she tried to add in a new grab that, had she landed, would have asked serious questions of the judges.” Listen to Iain's interview with Kirsty Muir (3:30) #pintrading (5:30) Spare a thought for Atle Lie McGrath (8:00) Chemmy Alcott shares her predictions for the Women's Slalom (8:30) Zoe Atkin is taking place in the Women's ski half pipe (10:30) The SkiMo is a new event, look out for it on Thursday (11:00) Listen to Iain's interview with British SkiMo athlete Iain Innes (11:45) Listen to Iain's interview with Andrew Musgrave (12:00) FeedbackIf you've enjoyed this episode I would love to know.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom explores two haunting listener experiences where the paranormal doesn't shout… it waits.First, Eleanor shares a deeply unsettling encounter during a late-night game of bowling in Leeds, where the machinery didn't just glitch, it anticipated.From self-resetting pins to a ball that rolled back on its own, the lane seemed to observe, to correct, and to quietly decide when the game was over.Then, Maria recalls a walk home through Edinburgh that turned chillingly unfamiliar.A sudden drop in temperature, unseen footsteps pacing behind her, and a thick silence that felt like a trap.She wasn't followed by a person, but by something embedded in the land itself.A place of punishment, perhaps.Forgotten by history, but not by it.These are stories where rules are bent, thresholds are crossed, and the spaces we trust.Streets, bowling alleys, familiar routines then become strangers to us.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

The best-selling compact camera in Japan is from... Kodak? We've talked about compact cameras in the past, but it remains a fascinating part of the photo marketplace as people look for something different than mirrorless and DSLR cameras. By the way, do you have $10,000 to spare on a new 35mm lens? Leica's Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH was just announced at that eye-watering price.
