The book is Tracing Your Ancestors Using What They Left Behind: A Guide for Family Historians by Simon Wills. I had actually planned to offer this book as a giveaway a few weeks ago, but some family things came up, and I was not able to make the change at the time. In the end, that delay worked out for the better because it gave me more time to sit with the book, look through it more carefully, and enjoy it more than I probably would have if I had rushed through it. The more I looked through it, the more I felt this would be a helpful book for my readers, followers, and fellow genealogy friends. What stood out to me right away is that this book approaches genealogy from a perspective that many family historians will appreciate. We spend a lot of time with census records, birth records, marriage records, death records, probate files, newspapers, military records, church records, and all the other usual sources. Those records are important, and we need them. But this book reminds us that family history clues can also be found in the physical things our ancestors left behind. That is really the heart of this book...

Engineering Global Socialism: Ownership, Non-Alignment, and Corporate Culture in a Bosnian Company (Indiana UP, 2026) chronicles the journey of the Bosnian global corporation Energoinvest and its workers from its Yugoslav socialist ideals through decades of dissolution, reconstruction, and post-socialist transformation. Author Anna Calori provides a company-centric window into the business history of socialist globalization during periods of national development, destruction, and rebuilding. Contrary to popular perceptions of "centralized" socialist states, Energoinvest actively shaped trade relations with the Global South, driven by a socialist corporate culture that encouraged competition as well as collective decision-making. Even after Yugoslavia's disintegration in 1992 ended its dreams of a socialist path to globalization, these core characteristics shaped Energoinvest's adaptation to capitalist transformations and made it a key player in the struggle for Bosnia's post-war economic reconstruction. Through oral histories and archival research, Calori reveals how Energoinvest's workers paired the promise of a new model of global integration with their own visions of a working world in which they set the rules of engagement—and how, upon its sale to mostly foreign owners, the marginalization and ethnic homogenization of employee shareholders mirrored changes around citizenship in Bosnia. Now, in the twenty-first century, Energoinvest offers new promises of a post-industrial future, but its often hazy parameters leave workers to rely on the memory of "what could have been" to make sense of change. Tracing the long trajectory of a Yugoslav enterprise through decades of large-scale social change, Engineering Global Socialism presents a historical and sociological moment in which workers' ideas about social and corporate enterprise offered the possibility of a more democratic path to globalization. Anna Calori is Lecturer in Contemporary Economic History at the School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Glasgow. Filippo De Chirico is a Ph.D. Candidate in Energy History at Roma Tre University. His research focuses on the history of the Italian natural gas sector. Learn more about your ad choices.

Military records can add life, movement, and personal detail to family history research. A census may tell you where an ancestor lived. A marriage record may name a spouse. A deed may show land ownership. A will may identify heirs. Military records can place that same person inside a larger moment in history. They may show where he served, when he enlisted, whether he was wounded, where his unit traveled, when he came home, whether he received a pension, and how his service affected his family. Sometimes they name wives, children, parents, neighbors, doctors, ministers, officers, and fellow soldiers. In some cases, a military file may be one of the richest sources you'll ever find for an ancestor. These records are not only about battles. They're about people...

Audie Murphy- Is He The GREATEST WARRIOR of All Time? Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/jcmmCuDc578?si=dFfPLXJb7jQku-1H January 1945 — Holtzwihr, France. Winter had frozen the Vosges Mountains solid. German armor was rolling forward. Infantry followed close behind. And the American line was collapsing. Standing between the German assault and total breakthrough was a 19-year-old Texan who barely weighed 110 pounds. Audie Murphy was already one of the most decorated soldiers in the U.S. Army — but what happened that day would place him in a category all his own. With his unit shattered, tanks burning, and enemy infantry advancing through smoke and snow, Murphy climbed onto a flaming tank destroyer, manned its .50-caliber machine gun, and held off an entire German attack — alone. He called artillery onto his own position. Fought while wounded. And refused to fall back. This film tells the full, unfiltered story of Audie Murphy — not the Hollywood myth, but the real soldier: a dirt-poor kid from Texas who survived combat most men wouldn't, carried the weight of it home, and never stopped paying the price for what he did in uniform. It's a story about courage under impossible pressure… about the cost of heroism… and about why some names are remembered long after the guns fall silent. If stories like this matter, help us keep them alive. Watch, like, comment, and share — because American courage deserves to be remembered.

Branden Hudson welcomes repeat guest Professor Miles “Scoochie” Moffitt, founder of Southside Jiu-Jitsu in Salisbury, Maryland, to trace his martial arts lineage and 30-year jiu-jitsu journey. Miles describes starting martial arts in the 1970s, earning a taekwondo black belt, quitting due to “smoke and mirrors,” and later discovering the UFC via VHS rentals in the mid-1990s, which sparked his search for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. He began training in an informal garage group, then at Philadelphia's Maxercise under Steve Maxwell, detailing the old-school training environment, early seminar culture, and the evolution of no-gi. He recounts Maxwell's connections to Rorion and Rolls Gracie, the denouncement letter from Rorion, and how Saulo Ribeiro and eventually Hedges “Comprido” Lemos became key influences, leading to Miles' 25-year relationship under Hedges. Miles shares that Royce Gracie trained and slept at Maxercise before early UFCs and that Maxwell put up the first $10,000 for UFC 1, then closes with where to find Miles online.00:00 Welcome and Support00:31 Meet Professor Scoochie01:39 Early Martial Arts Roots02:16 Taekwondo and Competition03:05 Quitting Karate for Practicality04:24 Pool Hall Life and Boxing Tapes05:11 Discovering UFC and Royce07:54 Searching for Jiu Jitsu Online09:03 Garage Training Begins11:03 First Trip to Philly11:31 9 11 and Taking Over12:51 Building a Hidden Dojo13:41 Maxercise and Steve Maxwell15:28 Outsider in Philly17:05 Inside the Old School Gym19:04 Tracing the Lineage19:20 Blue Belt Politics20:18 Denounced by Rorion21:26 Rolls Grants Black Belt22:04 Dirty Dozen Debate23:04 Certificate Standoff24:20 Seminar Era Memories25:29 Bouncer Challenge Stories26:01 Meeting Hedges Ribeiro28:51 Joining the Association31:47 Royce Trains for UFC34:19 Birth of No Gi36:49 Plugs and Farewell
In honor of Juneteenth, we are diving deep into the profound world of genetic genealogy. For many people of African descent, traditional paper-trail research hits a roadblock known as the "1870 wall." In this episode, we explore how groundbreaking DNA testing is tearing down that wall and providing a reliable space for people to reclaim their roots and family histories. We are joined by two incredible industry pioneers: Adrienne Abiodun, an advanced researcher at Legacy Tree Genealogists, and Dr. Gina Paige, the co-founder of African Ancestry, Inc. Together, they break down the science, the emotional weight, and the life-changing impact of finding out exactly where you come from.
Fundamental to Islamic thought is the idea that there is a way that human beings simply are, by nature or creation. This concept is called fiṭra. In The Politics of Islamic Ethics: Hierarchy and Human Nature in the Philosophical Tradition (Cambridge UP, 2025), rooting her investigation in two central passages in the Qur'an and hadith literature, where it is asserted that God created human beings in a certain way, the author moves beyond discussion of the usual figures who have commented on those texts to look instead at a group of classical Islamic philosophers rarely discussed in conjunction with ethical matters. Tracing the development of fiṭra through this overlooked strand of medieval thinking, von Doetinchem de Rande uses fiṭra as an entrée to wider topics in Islamic ethics. She shows that the notion of fiṭra articulated by al-Fārābī, Ibn Bājja, Ibn Ṭufayl, and Ibn Rushd highlights important issues about organizational hierarchies of human nature. This, she argues, has major implications for contemporary political and legal debates. Raissa von Doetinchem de Rande is Assistant Professor of Religious Ethics and Islamic Studies at the University of Chicago. Host Yaseen Christian Andrewsen is a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford, specialising in Islamic intellectual history in West Africa focusing on issues in Sufism, theology, renewal, and authority.

In Episode 584 of the Bible as Literature Podcast, Fr. Marc Boulos explores Luke 9:10 through the Semitic root ס־פ־ר / س־ف־ر (samek-fe-reš / sīn-fāʾ-rāʾ), uncovering a rich biblical ecology of sending, hearing, obeying, recounting, and carrying the word of God.Beginning with a sharp critique of Greek epistemology and the modern assumption that knowledge originates in the human mind, Fr. Marc argues that Scripture presents a radically different orientation. The fool who says "there is no God" is not merely the unbeliever, but the one who enthrones himself in the seat of judgment, making human reason the source of truth. In contrast, the biblical witness portrays humanity not as the author of knowledge but as its recipient, addressed and commanded by God.Tracing the root ס־פ־ר across the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Qurʾan, Fr. Marc shows how the apostles' "report" in Luke 9:10 is far more than a missionary debrief. Their recounting belongs to the same scriptural pattern found in Abraham's slave, Moses, Ezekiel, Joseph, and the prophets: the slave is sent, encounters God's action, and returns to recount what God has done. The true witness does not testify to his own experience but hands on the command and deed of the Lord.Along the way, Fr. Marc explores the connections between journey (safar), scroll (sefer), scribe (sofer), unveiling, dreams, hearing and obedience (ש־מ־ע / س־م־ع), and the contrast between faithful slaves who carry God's word and false prophets who recount only the dreams of their own hearts. The episode culminates in a powerful reading of Luke 9:10 in which the apostles appear not as religious entrepreneurs reporting their accomplishments, but as slaves who have been found, sent, instructed, and returned to hand back the word they received. The question is not what a person knows, but which way he is turned. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In Part 1, we broke down the framework of emotional regulation. In Part 2, we stop talking theory and step directly into real life. Join hosts Mr. Roosevelt Rozaay Butler and Mr. Langley Shazor as they pull back the curtain on the actual, high-stakes situations they've navigated in real time. From balancing the beautiful chaos of family leadership to managing the intense pressures of entrepreneurship, today is about decoding the true stimulus behind our triggers. We dive deep into: The High-Volume Threshold: How to protect the energy of your household when professional and personal worlds collide. Tracing the Root: Why small, everyday inconveniences often point to a much deeper story about control and stability. The Power of the Repair: Why delivering a clean, unconditional apology to your child or partner isn't a sign of weakness—it's how you break generational trauma and secure your family legacy. This isn't theoretical. This is the raw blueprint for moving from reactive pressure to regulated presence.
Modern sports did not just change how people played; they fundamentally rewired how they lived, looked, and identified within a rapidly transforming world. The conversation with Murat Yildiz, an assosciate professor of history at Skidmore College, explores the high-stakes intersection of physical culture, social status, and the 19th-century quest for a new global aesthetic. Elite educational and military institutions utilized gymnastics and disciplined exercise to mold an upwardly mobile generation, using sports to reconfigure traditional social hierarchies. Meanwhile, the rise of photography helped normalize and spread a uniform corporal aesthetic, allowing young men from diverse backgrounds to adopt a standardized look of proper modern masculinity. Tracing a vibrant athletic awakening, the discussion follows how sporting culture rippled across urban centers, from Istanbul to Cairo, Beirut, and Jerusalem, signaling a deeper transformation in community, selfhood, and the shift from indigenous traditions to professionalized international play. 0:00 Introduction 1:39 Misconceptions of Athletics and Modernity 4:07 Professionalism vs. Amateurism in Regional Sporting Culture 8:41 Sports as a Tool for Capturing Urban Diversity 9:17 Educational Reformers and the Significance of Gymnastics 12:47 Sports as a New Modern Technology 18:53 Photography and the Global Corporal Aesthetic 21:56 Visual Normalization of Ethnic and Religious Identities 23:14 Sports and the Creation of New Militaries 26:13 Reconfiguring Class Hierarchies in Elite Schools 30:41 Spreading Western Sports: From Baseball to Soccer 32:21 Tension with Indigenous Traditions: The Case of Wrestling 36:40 Gendering the Ottoman World of Sports 41:04 Tracing the Regional Sports Nahda beyond the Capital 48:07 History as a Creative Conversation with the Past 52:02 Al Abtal Magazine and the Egyptian Physical Culture 56:53 Further Recommendations: Football, Books, and Film 1:01:56 Future Directions for Archival Research Murat C. Yildiz is Associate Professor of History at Skidmore College. He specializes in the cultural and social history of the modern Middle East. In particular, his research examines the intersections of sports, identity, the body, gender, and intercommunality in the late Ottoman Empire. His book, "The Ottoman World of Sports: Refashioning Bodies, Men, and Communities in Late Imperial Istanbul" (The University of Texas Press), examines how Istanbul's Muslim, Christian, and Jewish denizens created a shared sports culture during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is an assistant editor for the Arab Studies Journal and serves as an editorial board member of the International Journal of the History of Sport. He received his Ph.D. in History from the University of California, Los Angeles and served as a Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Michigan.

Renowned historian Professor Avi Shlaim examines Britain's historic role in Palestine, the legacy of the Balfour Declaration, and the continuing impact of British policy on Palestinian self-determination.Tracing the roots of the conflict through the late Ottoman period, the British Mandate and the creation of Israel, Shlaim argues that Britain played a central role in shaping the political conditions that led to the dispossession of Palestinians and continues to bear responsibility for the consequences today.The talk explores:Britain's role in supporting the Zionist movement during the Mandate period.The significance and legacy of the 1917 Balfour Declaration.The suppression of Palestinian political representation and resistance under British rule.The Palestinian Revolt of 1936–39 and its long-term consequences.The Nakba of 1948 as part of a broader historical process rather than a single event.The work of the Britain Owes Palestine campaign and its efforts to seek acknowledgement, accountability and reparations from the British government.Britain's contemporary political, military and diplomatic relationship with Israel.The destruction of civilian, educational and cultural infrastructure in Gaza.Ongoing debates around international law, accountability and the recognition of Palestinian statehood.Professor Shlaim reflects on more than a century of British involvement in Palestine and argues that meaningful recognition of Palestinian rights requires more than symbolic gestures. He contends that acknowledgement of historical responsibility must be accompanied by practical political action and a commitment to accountability.Recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, Recognition is the Beginning, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.Professor Avi Shlaim is Emeritus Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford and one of Israel's leading "New Historians". His groundbreaking research on the Arab-Israeli conflict, Zionism, British policy in Palestine and the creation of Israel has challenged many established historical narratives. He is the author of numerous influential works, including The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World, Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew and Genocide in Gaza: Israel's Long War on Palestine.
If you want to live in a world where people read, novelist Ann Patchett has news for you: it's your job to help create that reality. Tracing her path from a chance airport encounter through a career writing iconic novels and opening a beloved independent bookstore, she makes the case that reading isn't a private pleasure but a civic act that builds empathy, sustains a "long-format brain" and pulls people out of isolation. Ready to lose yourself in a book?(Following her talk, Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, interviews Patchett on the joys and challenges of owning a bookstore. They also discuss whether audiobooks count as reading, the inefficiency of book banning, and how to raise young people to be readers. Patchett also teases the books she's excited about in 2026.)

Is food porn a vibrant and democratic new expression of modern food culture or a superficial addition to an image-saturated world? Tracing its origins from the 1970s to today, this timely book examines the evolution of food porn as a desire-inducing aesthetic practice and a visually extravagant food spectacle. Through discussions on class, gender, sexuality and national identities, Food Porn: Food Aesthetics in a Digital Age (Bristol University Press, 2026) by Dr. Jonatan Leer & Dr. Stinne Gunder Strøm Krogager questions whether food porn reinforces social hierarchies or empowers individuals. Also exploring anti-food porn aesthetics, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deeper social implications of food's digital allure. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Australia has a special place in the history of struggle for a Fair Day's Work. In giving a history of Australian worker struggles over the length of the working day, Sean Scalmer historicises things that might otherwise seem universal and stable, including time, leisure and productivity. Decades before any attempt by Australian timekeepers to standardise time, Scalmer shows that some of the earliest working-class activism in Australia was focused on the nature of time and the meaning of leisure. For what was the movement for the eight hour day, inspired by British activist Robert Owen, except for a battle over the ownership of time and the virtue of recreation? The length of the working day and the challenges of work–life balance are pressing issues for many people, as well as lively matters of public controversy. While the winning of the eight-hour day is celebrated as a past industrial achievement, contemporary discussions of working hours often overlook its rich history. Tracing 150 years of campaigns for rights and for the fair distribution of productivity gains, historian Sean Scalmer shows how these movements successfully reduced the length of the standard working week from 60 to 38 hours per week, and how economic, social and political shifts since the early 1980s have stalled this long-term progress. Today, industrial laws provide inadequate protection for excessive hours, and women increasingly shoulder long hours of paid work with the bulk of unpaid domestic labour. This has produced a social crisis for all Australians, but is yet to inspire adequate political action. As debate over our working lives intensifies amid ongoing political, economic and technological challenges, Scalmer's labour of love on the history of work and play affords us a way to understand the past so we can win back our time—collectively.

Dr. Nathan Jacobs examines the claim that Christians worship changed from Saturday to Sunday because of pagan influence and the Roman Emperor Constantine. Tracing the practice from the New Testament through the early Church Fathers, he explores the Christian understanding of the Lord's Day, the resurrection of Christ, and the profound theology of the “eighth day” that shaped early Christian worship.Please support the East West series: http://theeastwestseries.com/Do you like this content?

Abstract: This study reinterprets the political and military upheavals of the book of Alma through the lens of dynastic competition among Nephite, Mulekite, and Jaredite lineages. It builds on the work of Hugh Nibley, John Sorenson, Noel Reynolds, and more recently, Val Larsen and Lyle Hamblin, among others. Their research suggests that hereditary legitimacy and rival bloodlines shaped later Nephite history as deeply as did religious conviction or moral struggle. The merger of the Nephite and Mulekite peoples appears to have produced a fragile political order that fractured when traditional royal authority was replaced by the reign of judges. Alma2's abdication, the apparent weakness of Nephihah and Pahoran as executives, and the appointment of Captain Moroni are examined as deliberate efforts to stabilize a government suffering from dynastic instability. Tracing the intersection of lineage, legitimacy, and divine favor illuminates how the Book of Mormon frames its wars not merely as moral conflicts but as struggles to preserve righteous authority amid inherited divisions. The post Dynastic Dynamics: Competing Bloodlines and Political Legitimacy in the Book of Mormon first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

While men secure multi-million dollar business deals in between holes on the golf course and shake hands over top-shelf scotch and imported cigars in the private gentlemen's club... You're shamed for securing thousands...millions of dollars...working from your bed, from a VIP day in luxe hotel lobby, from a bath house or nail appointment, from a private rooftop party, from a Zoom call where your baby is hanging off your boob as a client says "YES!" in your DM's. All because you're a woman who dared to mix business with pleasure. Get paid from pleasure. Network and secure connections, deals, clients, and investors (or serve your clients) in locations, experiences, and ways that are drenched in pleasure, play, luxury, leisure. Why are men allowed to mix business with pleasure and it's considered standard business practice and professional...whereas, women are slut shamed, called a whore, and labeled unprofessional, lazy, and inappropriate? Why is it ok when men do it, but not ok when women do it? That's the EXACT question at the center of this episode. And what I reveal will change how you view women, sex, money, and business. Women were taught to see pleasure as irresponsible, distracting, and unserious…while entire male power structures were built inside luxury, leisure, exclusivity, and indulgence. This episode is an audio lesson pulled from my 14-week program, House of the Courtesan, which is included if you sign up for my 3-month 1:1 May only offer, Harlot...or my year-long devotional mentorship, Courtesan's Lineage (with a VIP wine bath weekend in Chicago included).

Female artists have long employed collage to reflect the ways in which identity is often constructed from conflicting, contrasting and contradictory parts. Cut Out: A Feminist History of Photo Collage, Montage and Assemblage (Thames & Hudson and V&A Publishing, 2026) by Fiona Rogers explores the relationship between photography and feminist collage, foregrounding the use of femmage—a radical reclaiming of craft traditionally associated with women—as a resilient method within feminist and political art. Cut Out presents an expanded definition of collage and cutting techniques to encompass photomontage, assemblage and the photogram. Tracing a lineage from nineteenth-century makers to contemporary practitioners, we encounter Victorian album makers; Modernist, Surrealist and Dadaist innovators; and radical, second-wave feminist artists. Thematic sections include profiles written by expert contributors on key individuals, including Hannah Höch, Dora Maar and Lorna Simpson. Looking to the future as much as the past, Cut Out also reveals how the pioneering work of contemporary and digital artists continues to subvert dominant narratives and foster ever-expanding forms of photographic collage. At a moment when photography and its history are being actively contested and reappraised, Cut Out is a reminder of its political power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Tracing an immigrant ancestor requires more than simply finding a ship manifest or a naturalization certificate. People crossing borders often changed or anglicized their names, traveled with relatives, and may have filed citizenship papers in multiple courts. This section explains how to use U.S. federal records, port records, naturalization files, and modern research techniques to trace migrants from their country of origin to their new home and to verify their identities and relationships.

By the 1930s, filmmakers had access to a backlog of footage from nearly forty years of motion pictures, allowing them to create a new kind of film stitched together from the raw material of older films. At around the same time, the transition to synchronous sound added a transformative new element to the grammar of cinema: the voiceover narration. Together, the film inventory and offscreen commentary gave rise to the archival documentary, the motion picture genre that preserves and rewinds history. In How Film Became History: The Rise of the Archival Documentary in 1930s America (Columbia University Press, 2026), Dr. Thomas Doherty tells the story of the archival documentary, spotlighting the first films that set out deliberately to preserve history on screen. He shows how newsreels and documentaries challenged the era's restrictive censorship and how film began to engage with the great political issues of the day. Doherty considers a range of films—some well-known, others obscure—including J. Stuart Blackton's The Film Parade (1933), Laurence Stallings and Truman Talley's The First World War (1934), Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.'s Hitler's Reign of Terror (1934), Max Eastman and Herbert Axelbank's Tsar to Lenin (1937), and the March of Time screen magazine. Tracing the creation of the archival documentary, How Film Became History illuminates how motion pictures have come to shape our vision of the past.

Trigger warning: This episode contains references to domestic violence, suicidal ideation, & self-harm ideation. If you've been wondering how to rebuild self-worth after drinking, this episode will meet you right where you are. Coach Zoe coaches Katia through the power of her "alive goal" — learning to love the girl in the mirror after years of not being able to look at her own reflection.

Along the way, we ask what it means to trust in human power rather than God's presence, and how God ultimately redeems even the symbol of the city itself
