In a tribute to the 2026 Winter Olympics being held right now in Cortina, Italy, Amy takes up a discussion of skiing in Japan. Japan has hosted the Winter Olympics 2 times: 1972 (Sapporo) and 1998 (Nagano). Amy introduces previous Washington Post Tokyo Bureau Chief T.R. Reid's guidebook called Ski Japan! (Kodansha, 1993). T.R. Reid lived in Japan for five years during the early 1990's. When the Gulf War started, the world turned its attention to that news, leaving foreign journalists in Japan with some unexpected free time. Reid and his family took action: they went skiing! The result is his 1993 guide to skiing in Japan, called Ski Japan!Tasked with updating the book for 2026-27 skiing and snowboarding audience, Amy talks about some of the points in Reid's book: things that have changed as well as those that have not, and the affects of mass-tourism on Japan's ski resorts.Ski Resorts Mentioned:Niseko, Asahidake, Furano, Naeba, Hakuba Valley, Madarao and Tangram Ski Circus, and Myoko Ski Resorts.Literary Ski SpotsYasunari Kawabata's Snow Country took place in Yuzawa Onsen, the train station you get off at to get to Naeba Ski Area. There's a Snow Country museum behind the station which is excellent.In Sapporo's Odori Park, there is a statue of Ishikawa Takuboku (1886-1912), author and poet: A Handful Of Sand, Romaji Diary and Sad Toys.In Asahikawa, Hokkaido, there is the lovely, contemplative Miura Ayako Literature Museum dedicated to the Christian novelist who lived from 1922-1999, and wrote Shiokari Pass as well as other works not yet translated into English. It's a lovely 30-40 minute walk through the snow from the back of Asahikawa station.There are also several statues and plaques dedicated to the two Austrian fathers of Japanese Skiing: Theordore Von Lerch and Hannes Schnieder. Von Lerch monuments can be found in the front of Asahikawa Airport in Hokkaido, and at Joetsu, Niigata, the latter considered the birthplace of skiing in Japan.   The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press.

For review:1. Aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), its escorts and embarked Carrier Air Wing 8 have been tasked from their current position in the Caribbean to the Middle East to support a U.S. naval buildup in the region.2. Asked Friday about potential regime change in Iran, US President Donald Trump said, “it seems like that would be the best thing that could happen,” as he confirmed sending a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East “in case we don't make a deal” with the Islamic Republic.3. US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to intensify the “maximum pressure policy” in order to force Iran to give up its nuclear program, including clamping down on the sale of Tehran's oil to China, according to a Saturday report citing two US officials.4. The US military is preparing for the possibility of sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders an attack, two US officials told Reuters, in what could become a far more serious conflict than previously seen between the countries.5. The Board of Peace's High Representative for Gaza Nickolay Mladenov said at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that the Palestinian technocratic committee tasked with governing Gaza in place of Hamas cannot enter the Strip if violations of the ceasefire continue.6. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar to represent Israel at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting in Washington, DC next Thursday.7. The leader of an anti-Hamas militia based in IDF-controlled areas of the southern Gaza Strip said recently that it is working on demolishing the terror group's tunnels, a confirmation that further shows Israel's support for the armed gang.8. A wave of Israeli airstrikes in several areas of southern Lebanon this evening targeted Hezbollah weapon depots and rocket launchers, the military says.9. The governments of Russia and Ukraine confirmed Friday that they would participate in a third round of U.S.-mediated peace talks next week, on Feb. 17 and 18 in Geneva. 10. U.S. Secretary of State Rubio offered a reassuring message to America's allies on Saturday, striking a less aggressive but still firm tone about the administration's intent to reshape the trans-Atlantic alliance and push its priorities.11. Co-development of the French-German-Spanish Next-Generation Fighter (NGF) is almost certainly headed for collapse, with negotiations between Airbus and Dassault halted on the next phase of the project amid a long-running industrial dispute over leadership and workshare, an industry source said today. 12. As part of discussions between Belgium and US giant Lockheed Martin for a potential deal covering 11 additional F-35A fifth-generation fighter jets, Brussels is pushing hard for hefty domestic industrial returns, according to the country's defense minister. 

Episode 6 of Starfleet Academy delivers one of the most tonally distinct installments of the season, shifting from collegiate character drama into full psychological thriller and survival horror. The podcast opens with immediate high energy, framing the episode as a major turning point — one that blends classic Trek moral dilemmas with modern cinematic tension. The panel quickly agrees: this is the episode where the show proves it can operate at franchise stakes. The early discussion centers on the controversial opening sequence involving Caleb and Tarima. While romantic development has been building, the telepathic boundary violation sparks debate about trust, consent, and Betazoid psychology. The hosts explore how this tension isn't just interpersonal drama — it foreshadows the emotional decisions both characters must make under life-or-death pressure later in the episode. Once the cadets board the derelict USS Miyazaki, the tone pivots hard into horror. The abandoned post-Burn experimental vessel becomes a graveyard setting — dark corridors, failing systems, and an ever-present sense of dread. The introduction of the Furies raises the stakes immediately. Their cannibalistic nature, hybrid physiology, and predatory tactics create a new kind of enemy — less political, more primal — evoking comparisons to the Vidiians or even Reavers in tone. The hostage scenario and airlock sequence form the episode's action centerpiece. The cadets' inexperience shows early, but they evolve rapidly under pressure. A key moment highlighted in the podcast is the sacrifice of their commanding officer, which forces the cadets to step into leadership roles prematurely. This trial-by-fire dynamic reinforces the show's core theme: Starfleet officers aren't born — they're forged in crisis. Sam's bridge sequence becomes the emotional and technological high point. Tasked with restoring fragmented ship systems, she demonstrates not just computational superiority but personal agency. The panel reads this as a pivotal evolution in her arc — choosing to risk herself for organics, further complicating her loyalty to her creators. Her eventual injury adds philosophical weight: even artificial life can bear scars of trust. The episode closes with wider implications for the season. Nus Braka's looming presence, the emergence of the Furies, and the cadets' accelerated growth all point toward a larger coordinated threat. The hosts speculate that Episode 6 may represent the “Empire Strikes Back” tonal shift of the season — where youthful optimism gives way to the harsh realities of command, sacrifice, and war.   00:01 – Cold open, hype reactions, and spoiler warning for Episode 6 03:20 – Panel introductions and first impressions of the episode 06:10 – Opening romance scene and early character tension 09:05 – Caleb & Tarima relationship analysis and emotional stakes 12:00 – Betazoid abilities and telepathic boundary debate 15:10 – Away mission briefing and training exercise setup 18:20 – Boarding the USS Miyazaki and mission objectives 21:30 – Post-Burn warp lore and ship disaster backstory 24:40 – First appearance of the Furies and threat assessment 27:50 – Horror tone shift and haunted-ship atmosphere 31:00 – Airlock standoff and hand-to-hand combat breakout 34:15 – Tactical coordination and cadet crisis response 37:30 – Leadership contrast: War College vs Academy cadets 40:45 – Lieutenant Commander sacrifice and protocol analysis 44:00 – Bridge lockdown and survival strategy planning 47:10 – Sam begins computer restoration under pressure 50:20 – “1200 files” moment and Sam's hero sequence 53:40 – Comic lore tie-in and Miyazaki historical context 56:50 – Ship systems reboot and turning the tide 01:00:00 – Cadets regain control and tactical regroup 01:04:10 – Genesis & Darum bridge command dynamics 01:08:25 – Leadership growth and teamwork evolution 01:12:40 – Athena ship response and search coordination 01:16:55 – Furry threat escalation and hostage stakes 01:21:05 – Rescue strategy and multi-team execution 01:25:20 – Final confrontation buildup 01:29:35 – Climactic battle and survival resolution 01:33:50 – Nus Braka implications and villain framing 01:37:40 – Sam's injuries and EMH medical response 01:41:10 – Character fallout and emotional aftermath 01:44:00 – Season arc theories and “big bad” speculation 01:46:00 – Final ratings, closing thoughts, and sign-off

Two Toronto based Legal Observers from the Orange Hats return to give us details on the tactics Toronto Police are using to try to bring down the Palestinian Solidarity Movement.Tasked with keeping an eye on cops during protests and other actions, Gisela and Leon have lots of stories to tell. Together the group recently issued a 2025 Year-In-Review on Toronto Police Services conduct at protests. The report includes statistics on injuries and arrests; it warns of trends in policing; and it points to a clear strategy to suppress the activities of activists - and legal observers. Its not all bad news. Thanks to their experience, the Orange Hats are a great source of advice for organizers and activists - or anyone coming into contact with Police.

Tasked with overseeing Gaza's demilitarization, reconstruction, and governance, the board includes countries with long histories of hostility toward Israel—alongside Israel itself. With reports suggesting each founding member may be required to contribute one billion dollars to guarantee their slot, questions are emerging about power, influence, and whether this body could evolve into something far greater than Gaza—possibly even rivaling the United Nations. In today's podcast, we examine what it means for foreign nations to figuratively rule over parts of the Holy Land. Could this be a precursor to the warnings of Zechariah 14? As Christian leaders clash over Israel, global antisemitism rises, we look to Scripture, history, and current events to discern where this path may lead.  Follow us on Telegram: https://t.me/theisraelguys      Follow Us On X: https://x.com/theisraelguys    Follow Us On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theisraelguys  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theisraelguys  Heartland Tumbler: https://theisraelguys.store/products/heartland-tumbler  "Israel" Leather Patch Hat: https://theisraelguys.store/products/israel-1948-cap

In hour 2 Steak and Drew get in to how quickly NFL franchises can get turned around, and what that could look like in Atlanta. 8 years with no playoffs is just not supposed to happen.

Welcome back, everyone, for the conclusion of my interview with Author and retired FBI Special Agent Seamus McElearney. Séamus McElearney began his distinguished career with the FBI in 1998, joining Squad C-10 of the New York Organized Crime Branch. Tasked with investigating the Bonanno and DeCavalcante crime families—infamously known as “the real Sopranos.” In December 1999, he was assigned to arrest Anthony Capo, a violent soldier in the DeCavalcante family, as part of a sweeping indictment. Not only did he safely execute the arrest, but he also achieved a historic breakthrough: persuading Capo to become the first made member in the family’s century-long history to cooperate with law enforcement. This unprecedented move triggered a domino effect of cooperation that ultimately led to the dismantling of the DeCavalcante family. In all, 71 defendants were convicted, and 11 murders were solved.  Following this six-year investigation, Séamus was promoted to lead Squad C-38, overseeing the Colombo crime family. Under his leadership, the squad dismantled the Colombos through a series of operations—including spearheading the largest Mafia takedown in FBI history. As Supervisor, Séamus oversaw investigations that led to the conviction of more than 200 defendants and the resolution of 20 murders. Throughout his career as an Agent and Supervisor, Séamus helped convict ten Mafia bosses, recover five bodies, and solve the murder of an NYPD officer. He was part of historic FBI teams that dismantled three organized crime families—an achievement no one else can claim. Seamus is also the author of the popular book, Flipping Capo: How the FBI Dismantled the Real Sopranos. I’m a fan of the TV show The Sopranos, so it was amazing listening to Seamus explain how the “Real Sopranos” operated and how they were dismantled and brought to justice by Seamus and his team. Please enjoy my conversation with Seamus!   In today’s episode, we discuss: ·      How he got Capo to flip. ·      Capo was a soldier in the mob. What is the rank system of the mob? ·      What is involved in a ‘made man’ ceremony? (Kissing rings, burning saints, etc...) ·      Why are we so fascinated with mobsters? ·      What is the FBI’s role in WITSEC? ·      How do you keep a rat safe if they are in jail or out on bail? ·      9/11, how the FBI changed after that day. ·      How long did it take to put together the case against the DeCavalcante crime family? ·      How did the DeCavalcante crime family coexist with the five New York crime families? ·      Is it true that old-school mobsters didn’t mess with women or children? When did this change? ·      The Sopranos. What did Hollywood get right and wrong about mob life regarding The Sopranos? ·      The advice he would give to someone who wants to be an FBI agent. ·      Sylvester Stallone’s series, The Tulsa King.       All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.       Visit Seamus's website to learn more about him and his book.

When Director of Thinking and Creative PR Specialist Peter Freedman joined us for this episode 39, he unpacked the unusual marketing mistake he made while working with Craigslist.Tasked with satirising the rise of in-your-face shirt sponsorships, Peter sponsored a women's football team in Battersea Park and put them in full advertising sandwich boards. The stunt was pretty clever, photogenic and completely impractical, yet it barely registered with any journalists.One even called it the most peculiar idea they had ever seen. Peter explains why the campaign fell flat, how it was simply too weird and not familiar enough, and what he learned from books like The Creative Curve and Contagious about the sweet spot between novelty and recognition. Marketers will hear a candid breakdown of why some ideas stay niche, why moderate innovation works better than pure shock value, and how to judge whether your next PR concept is different in the right way. Click on the link to listen to the full episode:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2206375/episodes/15568830 Is your strategy still right for 2026?

The saying goes, “you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain”. This has now been made true for one of the most prestigious groups of medieval lore. Imagine being an apparition blessed by deities of old. Tasked with taking down none other than King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Now corrupted by some bad wine or something, Arthur has become unhinged and it's now up to you to take down the corrupted knights and set Camelot back on the virtuous path, no pressure or anything. With several classes, Lancelots of weapon choices and skills to acquire, experience to Gawain, and a incredibly fast rat that has made this fight Percival, this game has far more to offer than expected. So join us at our roundish table as we break down our experience with Sworn and other roguelike games!

Last week, two National Guard soldiers were shot in Washington, D.C. after they were ambushed by a lone shooter near the airport. One was killed and the other remains in serious condition. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was shot and is still in hospital facing murder charges. The picture emerging of Lakanwal is of an isolated, deeply troubled man struggling to support his wife and five kids. Lakanwal is a 29-year-old Afghan-national who had served as part of an elite CIA-trained and backed paramilitary group known as the Zero Units. Tasked with carrying out some of the most dangerous missions in the war on terror, the Zero Units have also been accused by rights groups of war crimes in their notorious night raids.Kevin Maurer is a best-selling author and longtime reporter who spent many years covering the war in Afghanistan.

Amid the rise of sustainable architecture, mass timber has become a powerful symbol of progress — a material that marries renewable design with modern efficiency. Yet, in the damp climate of Vancouver, BC, sustainability meets its match: moisture. Managing humidity levels in large-scale wood construction isn't just a matter of comfort; it's about protecting structural integrity, schedule, and long-term performance. For the University of the Fraser Valley's new student housing project, these challenges were amplified by the region's relentless rainfall and the building's unique E-shaped design, which trapped moisture in stubborn corners.Enter Polygon — and more specifically, Sean Smith, the company's Vancouver Branch Manager. Tasked by Clark Builders to safeguard the project, Smith and his team engineered a fully integrated moisture control system that turned real-time data into action. Over 50 sensors were installed across the site to monitor both ambient conditions and the internal moisture levels of the CLT (cross-laminated timber) floors. These sensors communicated directly with an intelligent network of desiccant dehumidifiers and heaters, automatically adjusting output to maintain optimal conditions.The result? A system that not only protected materials but also optimized energy use and streamlined workflow. Manual moisture checks were replaced by live dashboards, and project teams gained confidence backed by data, not guesswork. What could have been weeks of weather-induced delays turned into a masterclass in proactive environmental control.To understand how smart systems and strategic thinking kept this mass timber project on track — and why automation may be the future of construction moisture management — we turn to Sean Smith, Branch Manager at Polygon, who helped lead the charge on the University of the Fraser Valley's student housing project.

"This transition was about more than just a business model. It was about trust for the community." When Deborah Visconi took the helm at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, she wasn't just changing a hospital's tax status—she was rebuilding an institution's soul. Tasked with transforming a for-profit hospital into a true safety net for New Jersey's most vulnerable communities, Deborah brought something unique to the challenge: she'd lived it. "Growing up in a Latinx household in an underserved community, I understood what it meant to navigate barriers and be overlooked," Deborah shares. That lived experience became her North Star as she rebuilt Bergen New Bridge from the ground up, ensuring no one would be turned away based on ability to pay, language, immigration status, or circumstance. Seven and a half years later, the transformation is remarkable. Under Deborah's leadership, the hospital now accepts every type of insurance available in New Jersey. They've opened a Depression Center of Excellence, launched comprehensive addiction treatment programs, and created specialized care for eating disorders—all while operating as a non-profit in challenging economic times. "We don't innovate here with glitzy towers and glass buildings. We innovate around people," Deborah explains. During COVID-19, while the world was falling apart and people were dying at their doorsteps, her team remained that "beacon of health, hope, and healing" their community desperately needed. In this powerful episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Deborah also reveals: How "Chief Engagement Officer" became her real title—and why her phone is always on Why technology will never replace compassion in healthcare The three pillars of transformation: partnerships, training, and redefining success beyond financials How holistic care transforms outcomes for addiction and mental health Why building your own table beats waiting for a seat at someone else's The invisible barriers women still face in healthcare leadership Her bold vision for the next generation of women leaders "Equity isn't an initiative—it's embedded in everything we do," Deborah states firmly. Even as DEI becomes a polarizing term, she refuses to waver: "Being able to provide equitable care equals excellence and quality care delivery." For women aspiring to leadership, her advice is direct: "It takes courage to take those steps and not be afraid to use your voice. If you're not given a seat at the table, bring your own seat—or better yet, build your own table." From frontline phlebotomist to transformational CEO, Deborah's grassroots journey proves that the most powerful healthcare innovations come not from technology or buildings, but from leaders who understand their communities' struggles firsthand. "I want future leaders to see they belong at the helm of major institutions, particularly women and Latinx women," she reflects. "I want my legacy to be one of inclusion, respect, and extraordinary relationships." At a time when healthcare faces unprecedented challenges, Deborah Visconi is showing what's possible when hospitals truly serve as safety nets—catching everyone who falls, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

Tasked with testing a mind-warping SCP disguised as a harmless workout DVD, a man fights to maintain his sanity as the women he dates slowly waste away—physically and psychologically—before his eyes. But when the madness consumes him and the truth surfaces, he realizes he's not just a test subject… he's been the Foundation's favorite tool all along.

Elon Musk's embrace of President Trump and his campaign marked a pivotal moment in the 2024 presidential election, ultimately leading to Musk's appointment as the head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Tasked with cutting federal spending and shrinking the national debt, DOGE moved fast and forcefully, triggering lawsuits and clashing with veteran officials. Featured in FOX Nation's new documentary "DOGE vs. DC," the American Enterprise Institute's Director of Domestic Policy Studies Matthew Continetti joins the Rundown to explore DOGE's impact and future without Musk at the helm. Former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown (R) has announced he is running for Senate in his home state of New Hampshire. He spent 11 years in Massachusetts before moving back to the Granite State to run for office in 2014. He served as the US Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa during President Trump's first term and joins the podcast to discuss his campaign and support for the Trump administration.

After nearly two decades as a nurse, she's seen a lot—but nothing quite like what happened during one quiet night shift. Tasked with caring for an elderly woman in an isolated hospital room, she didn't expect the patient's death to come with an overwhelming sense of dread. As she entered the room just after the patient's passing, she was stopped cold by a thick, suffocating energy—and a towering, dark, hooded figure looming over the woman's body. Frozen with fear, she fled, calling on her fellow nurses to join her. When they did, the entity was gone. Was it a demon? A collector of souls? Or something darker still?
