In today's "Prison Pulpit" podcast I talk about my first day in India, the "hidden" Rawang people of northern Myanmar/Tibet, and we go back over Wang Yi's final family newsletter before his arrest in December, 2018. I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I share, among other things, daily reminders to pray for China. Also, feel free to email any questions or comments to bfwesten at gmail dot com. And last but not least, learn more about (most of) our strategic prayer and missions projects @ PrayGiveGo.us! Killing Time in Calcutta https://chinacall.substack.com/p/killing-time-in-a-calcutta-burial So I’m currently recording in my little hotel room just outside the Calcutta airport in India’s West Bengal State, having flown in late last night. India, as you may know, is probably more hostile to the Gospel than it has been for some time. Many missionaries have been kicked out in recent years, including some friends of mine, and it’s generally not a good idea to announce that you are a missionary when applying for a visa or coming through immigration. “Tourist” will do just fine, thank you. Once you’re in, you can pretty much do what you want. I have to admit I was a tiny bit nervous coming in last night, because I’m still a somewhat shell-shocked after what happened exactly a month ago while trying to enter Egypt on a short, run-of-the-mill (research) trip, when I was denied entry and deported a few hours later (seemingly) for having too many tracts in my backpack. So I was happy to make it into India last night with nary a question (and no bag scanners). The only thing dodgy about my arrival were the mosquitoes that have taken up permanent residence in the Calcutta airport, and the lack of sidewalks between the terminal and my hotel about ½ mile away.

Trump rages over ‘seriously retarded Governor' Tim Walz in furious Thanksgiving message President Trump ripped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” — and suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar “probably came into the USA illegally” — in a rage-filled Thanksgiving message about immigration. Trump, 79, hurled the insult as he accused Walz, who had been Kamala Harris' running mate in her failed presidential election bid, of allowing an influx of hundreds of thousands of Somali migrants to take over his “once great state.” “Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey' as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments...

In this video, I trace Raju's incredible journey: from a charming tourist guide to a selfless guru for life. We'll examine the climactic fasting scene, his spiritual awakening, and the symbolic rain that signifies redemption. I also discuss the 1965 film adaptation, directed by Vijay Anand and starring Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman, which won 7 Filmfare Awards, a National Film Award Certificate of Merit, and became India's Oscar entry for Best Foreign Language Film.

Jim McTague reports that the economy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is strong, suggesting it mirrors the greater US economy despite reports of low consumer confidence, observing robust traffic at tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village, a shopping locale established in 1954, with spending largely supported by well-off boomers. Local entrepreneurs are experiencing great success—a dealer selling eclectic electric lamps in Park City Mall is already earning $4,500 per week at the start of the holiday season, and high volume at Costco, where the Amish are major buyers, further indicates available disposable income. McTague concludes that the real economy on Main Street is strong and likely headed for a blockbuster Christmas season. 1954

Key Takeaways:Supporters engage for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, each bringing unique value. Instead of expecting long-term loyalty from everyone, recognize the natural ebb and flow. Gratitude for every contribution keeps the relationship healthy and grounded.Tourists, seasonal residents, and townies each play a meaningful role in the ecosystem. One-time donors bring energy, visibility, and new connections when they matter most. Long-term supporters reveal themselves through aligned values and deeper engagement.Lasting relationships grow through purpose, connection, and involvement beyond giving. Inviting donors into stories, conversations, or behind-the-scenes roles builds ownership. When people feel seen and included, loyalty naturally strengthens and expands.Not every donor will stay forever, and that is part of a healthy pipeline. Letting go with appreciation frees energy to invest in aligned relationships. Focusing on shared values ensures every interaction remains meaningful and mutual. “Our job is to give them meaningful experience while they're with us and release them with gratitude when they're ready to go.” “Every donor plays a role in your ecosystem. You know, tourists bring energy and visibility, townies bring depth and sustainability, and there's space in between them, where just the relationships involved.” “Relationship first, money will follow that.

There are some roads around the world that are both breathtaking and super dangerous! The North Yungas Road in Bolivia, also known as "Death Road," winds through steep cliffs with barely any guardrails to protect drivers. In India, the Leh-Manali Highway takes travelers through high mountain passes, but its narrow, rough roads make for a thrilling, heart-pounding ride. Tourists visiting these places are drawn by the beautiful views, but you need serious courage to tackle these routes. In Italy, the Amalfi Coast road is stunning but has sharp curves and heavy traffic. Even Iceland's Ring Road can get icy and tricky, especially during winter. If you're into adventure and don't mind a little danger, these roads are a must-see! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A tourist helicoptered out of the Tongariro National Park to avoid the fire burning through the region has described the dramatic moments he realised there was danger in the air. Matthias Gerold was evacuated to Whakapapa village, and was then evacuated from there as the blaze continued. Wet weather has provided hope today for business owners nearby, who worry a long-term closure of the Tongariro Crossing could prove catastrophic for the region. This afternoon emergency services delivered good news, saying there's a significant improvement in conditions and residents are allowed to return to Whakapapa. Jimmy Ellingham filed this report from Waimarino.

Thinking of turning that vacant Dollar Tree into a food hall? Hit pause—this episode might save you a fortune.Food halls are trendy, flashy, and tempting—especially when you're sitting on 5,000 to 10,000 square feet of empty space. But after seeing too many landlords lose big, I'm here to sound the alarm. In this episode, I break down why most food halls fail, the false promises they offer, and what you should consider before signing on to build one. From startup tenant churn to high buildout costs and low foot traffic, I share real examples (including failed projects from close friends) and challenge the food hall hype with a dose of truth. If you're serious about NOI, you need to hear this.Key Takeaways:- Don't default to a food hall just because you have a large vacancy- Buildout costs are massive; especially without a strong operator- Most food hall tenants are startups (and risky ones at that)- Failure rates remain high, even in trendy concepts- Location is everything: food halls only work with major traffic- Tourist-heavy areas offer better chances of success- Talk to real operators and visit proven sites before investing- A vacant anchor space doesn't equal a food hall opportunity- There are better ways to fill space; don't fall for the fadBECOME A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE ROCKSTAR: https://www.bethazor.com/https://www.azoracademy.com/For more commercial real estate training: https://www.bethazor.com/training/FOLLOW ME ON SOCIALFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/azoradvisoryservices/Twitter: https://twitter.com/bethazor1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethazor/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/6315636/#retailleasing #commercialrealestateinvesting #retailleasingcoach #bethazor

Luxury tourism has been heavily promoted by many countries, but does it deliver on its promises?
It's Day 2 of my Halloween Marathon, and today we're diving into The Haunted Tourist. I'm joined by Brandon Schexnayder, host of Southern Gothic and Fear Daily—two shows that live and breathe ghost stories. Together, we pull back the curtain on haunted tourism: the ghost tours, the myths, and the money that fuels them. From fake cemeteries built for tourists to real tragedies twisted into folklore, Brandon and I explore what's real, what's exaggerated, and why we want to believe. If you love a good ghost story—but also like to know what's behind it—this one's for you.
