During our Saturday Mornings Sit-Down Conversation Part 1 “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys celebrate a landmark moment in Singapore’s hospitality scene with Jesmine Hall, Director of Commercial Marketing at Raffles Hotel Singapore. The iconic “Grande Dame” has achieved a rare double success—becoming the first and only hotel in Singapore to be awarded the prestigious Three Keys distinction by the MICHELIN Guide, and securing the No. 5 spot in The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025. Jesmine shares how Raffles earned these accolades, the rigorous criteria behind them, and why they matter in a crowded global tourism landscape. We explore what makes Raffles unique—from its architecture and legendary customer service to its ability to blend heritage with modern luxury. Jesmine also offers a glimpse into Raffles’ plans for 2026, and how the hotel continues to stay relevant while honouring its 138-year legacy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a world where protectionism, trade wars, and anti-capitalist rhetoric persist, few voices explain economic freedom with greater clarity and conviction than Dr. Don Boudreaux.This week on the Let People Prosper Show, I'm joined by Don, Professor of Economics at George Mason University, Senior Fellow at the Mercatus Center, and one of the most articulate defenders of liberty and markets in America today. Don is co-author, with former Senator Phil Gramm and Robert Ekelund, of the new book The Triumph of Economic Freedom: Debunking the Seven Great Myths of American Capitalism. Through his writing, teaching, and his widely read Cafe Hayek blog, he has spent his career making the moral and empirical case for free markets, open trade, and voluntary exchange as the foundation of human progress.In this episode, we examine the myths surrounding capitalism and trade that continue to mislead voters and policymakers — from the notion that globalization has “hollowed out” the middle class to the misconception that tariffs enrich nations.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

In Episode 31 DDSWTNP get the chance to talk about DeLillo with his friend, colleague, and editor Gerald Howard, whose distinguished career in publishing at Viking Penguin, Norton, and Doubleday spanned nearly 50 years and was marked by his work not only on Libra but important books by David Foster Wallace, Paul Auster, and so many others. We hear Gerry recount first reading the DeLillo of Americana and “Total Loss Weekend” in the 1970s, seeing a book titled “Panasonic” (eventually, White Noise) arrive at Viking Penguin, and having an 800-page manuscript about the JFK assassination later hit his desk. So many great stories mark this episode, including DeLillo's funny “speech” upon receiving the National Book Award for White Noise, his reasons for seeking a new publisher after The Names, the legal reasoning behind the Author's Note at the end of the hardcover Libra, and what Gerry for personal reasons regards as one of the funniest of DeLillo's many funny passages: an editor's remarks to Bill Gray about the literary marketplace in Mao II. Gerry talks as well about Catholicism, DeLillo's massive influence on younger writers, and who, along with DeLillo, comprised his personal “trinity” of greatest authors. And at the end we wish a happy 89th birthday to Don DeLillo! With this interview episode, we also extend the biographical “Lives of DeLillo” series we began with our November 20 releases the past two years. Huge thanks to Gerry for sharing so many remarkable stories, insights, and readings. Be sure to pick up Gerald Howard's new book, The Insider: Malcolm Cowley and the Triumph of American Literature, available this month from Penguin Random House and discussed at the end of this episode. Finally, a note on production: when other technology failed us, we decided to record this interview as a phone call, with obviously a lower sound quality than our listeners are used to. Gerry was wonderfully patient and flexible through it all, and his voice comes through clearly, in a recording that, in its crackles, we'd like to think, captures some spirit of DeLilloan Ludditism.  Image of Mao II woodcut in episode cover art is courtesy of Gerald Howard. List of works mentioned in this episode: A.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Gobble of Glory: Zoltán's Turkey Triumph at the Festival Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-19-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Az őszi nap fénye lágyan szétáradt a magyar vidék dombjain.En: The light of the autumn sun gently spread over the hills of the Hungarian countryside.Hu: A fák színes lombja alatt Zoltán a falusi fesztiválra készült.En: Under the colorful foliage of the trees, Zoltán was preparing for the village festival.Hu: Vidám természetű ember lévén, mindig valami különlegeset akart nyújtani a falubelieknek.En: Being a cheerful-natured person, he always wanted to offer something special to the villagers.Hu: Idén elhatározta, hogy egy pulykát tanít meg gá-gá-zni parancsra. Ezzel akarta lenyűgözni a közönséget a Hálaadás napi fesztiválon.En: This year, he decided to teach a turkey to gobble on command to impress the audience at the Thanksgiving festival.Hu: Zoltán puskával felmálházva és kalapjának karimáját letörölve állt a kis udvar közepén, ahol a pulyka, Béla, köztiszteletben álló madara volt a célpontja.En: Armed with a shotgun and wiping the brim of his hat, Zoltán stood in the center of the small yard, where the turkey, Béla, a highly respected bird, was the target.Hu: Már az elején látta, hogy Béla nem a legegyszerűbb tanítvány.En: From the outset, he saw that Béla was not the simplest student.Hu: Béla inkább a napot szerette melegíteni, vagy kisétálni a legzöldebb fűszálakhoz, semmint parancsszóra gá-gá-zni.En: Béla preferred basking in the sun or wandering over to the greenest blades of grass rather than gobbling on command.Hu: De Zoltán nem adta fel.En: But Zoltán did not give up.Hu: Először finom falatokat próbált kínálni neki.En: First, he tried offering tasty treats.Hu: „Gyere ide, Béla! Gá-gá!” – mondta Zoltán, miközben egy marék kukoricát tartott a kezében.En: “Come here, Béla! Gobble-gobble!” Zoltán said as he held a handful of corn.Hu: Ám Béla csak lustán pislogott, mintha azt mondaná, „majd holnap”.En: However, Béla only blinked lazily, as if to say, “Maybe tomorrow.”Hu: Nem volt sikeres a zene sem.En: Music was not successful either.Hu: Zoltán tangóharmonikát szerzett és próbált dallamot húzni, de Béla csak álmosan leült a fűbe, és talán még horkantott is egyet.En: Zoltán acquired an accordion and tried to play a tune, but Béla just sleepily sat down in the grass, possibly even letting out a snore.Hu: Következő próbálkozása egy rögtönzött pulykaruhában történő bemutató volt.En: His next attempt was a demonstration in an improvised turkey costume.Hu: Zoltán tollakat erősített a kalapjára és vidáman ugrált Béla előtt.En: Zoltán attached feathers to his hat and joyfully pranced in front of Béla.Hu: A pulyka egy pillanatra felkapta a fejét, majd visszatért az álmodozáshoz.En: The turkey briefly lifted his head, then returned to daydreaming.Hu: Közeledett a fesztivál napja.En: The festival day approached.Hu: A falusi tér megtelt bódékkal, ahol házi készítésű lekvárokat, különféle süteményeket és meleg lángost árultak.En: The village square filled with stalls selling homemade jams, various pastries, and hot flatbreads.Hu: A levegő megtelt a tűzrakás és a frissen sült kenyér illatával.En: The air was scented with bonfires and freshly baked bread.Hu: Mindenki izgatottan várta Zoltán és Béla bemutatóját.En: Everyone eagerly awaited Zoltán and Béla's performance.Hu: Végül elérkezett a pillanat.En: Finally, the moment arrived.Hu: Zoltán felkészült a nagy produkcióra, de Béla még mindig álmosan gubbasztott.En: Zoltán was ready for the big show, but Béla was still sitting drowsily.Hu: Ahogy Zoltán kétségbeesetten próbálta felkelteni Béla figyelmét, váratlanul egy nagy csattanás hallatszott a szomszédos bódéból, ahol egy mézeskalácsos dézsa felborult.En: As Zoltán desperately tried to capture Béla's attention, suddenly a loud crash was heard from the neighboring stall, where a gingerbread barrel had toppled over.Hu: Béla megrettent, és elkezdett hangosan gá-gá-zni.En: Béla was startled and began to gobble loudly.Hu: A közönség nevetett és tapsolt, meglepődve azon, hogy Zoltánnak sikerült pont időben produkálnia a mutatványt.En: The audience laughed and applauded, surprised that Zoltán managed to perform the trick just in time.Hu: Zoltán, noha nem így tervezte, hatalmas tapsot kapott.En: Although it wasn't how he planned it, Zoltán received a huge round of applause.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy néha a véletlen is lehet nagy segítő, és a kitartás mindig kifizetődik.En: He learned that sometimes chance can be a great help and perseverance always pays off.Hu: A fesztivál végén Zoltán büszkén vitte Bélát az ünnepi menetben, és boldogan köszöntötte a gratulációkat.En: At the end of the festival, Zoltán proudly led Béla in the festive parade and happily received congratulations.Hu: Most már igazán úgy érezte, hogy sikerült valami különlegeset létrehoznia, még ha nem is pont úgy, ahogy tervezte.En: He now truly felt that he had managed to create something special, even if not exactly as he had planned.

From Trauma to Triumph: Dr. John A. King on Living from the Inside Out   Most of us carry invisible stories — old pain, expectations, and patterns that shape how we live, lead, and love. Dr. John A. King knows that journey firsthand. After surviving years of childhood abuse and losing everything when his repressed memories resurfaced at 45, he had to rebuild his identity from the ground up. Today, he helps men recover from trauma, rediscover authenticity, and live from the inside out through The Phoenix Collective and Mindfire Challenge.   This conversation isn't just about surviving the past — it's about reclaiming your agency, rebuilding your inner world, and redefining what "success" really means.   Key Points:  Healing starts with honesty. Dr. John says most people avoid the truth because it's uncomfortable — but authenticity is the foundation of healing. You can't transform what you won't face. Men process pain differently. Men connect "shoulder to shoulder," not "face to face." Healing often happens through shared experiences — working, walking, or even just sitting together — not traditional talk therapy alone. Your past should refine you, not define you. Dr. John reminds us that the goal isn't to erase the past but to let it shape you into someone stronger and more self-aware. "Regret," he says, "is a waste of chemical and time." Purpose, mission, vision, and values keep you on track. When these four are aligned, your "no's" become automatic. You stop saying yes to everything and start saying yes to what truly matters. Success is about preparedness, not luck. Echoing Earl Nightingale, Dr. John says success happens when opportunity meets preparedness. Don't chase the moment — prepare for it.   Money Learning from Dr. John:  Dr. John grew up in a home that was financially stretched and emotionally unsafe — a mix that taught him early how money and stress can distort values. His lesson: "You can make money and do good — integrity and wealth are not opposites." True prosperity comes from living in alignment, not accumulation.   Key Takeaway: You don't heal by running from your story — you heal by reclaiming authorship of it.   Guest Bio: Dr. John A. King is the founder of The Phoenix Collective and Give Them a Voice Foundation. An Indigenous Australian, John is a bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and advocate for survivors of trafficking and trauma. Drawing from his own story of rebuilding life after loss, he now helps leaders and entrepreneurs develop a performance mindset—training them to rise with resilience in both life and business.   Links: Website: www.drjohnaking.com Phoenix Collective: www.phoenixcollective.app Socials: @drjohnaking   What parts of your story still define you instead of refining you? Where in your life are you living from the outside in? Are your purpose, mission, vision, and values truly aligned?   If this episode resonated, share it with someone who's walking through their own rebuilding season.   #DrJohnAKing #HealingTrauma #MensMentalHealth #AuthenticLiving #PurposeDrivenLife #EmotionalHealing #Resilience #InnerStrength #LiveFromTheInsideOut #MindfireChallenge #PhoenixCollective #RicherSoulPodcast #RockyLalvani #PersonalGrowthJourney #LifeAfterTrauma   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The past several days have been extraordinary for Dolly Parton. The biggest headline is that she was honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2025 Governors Awards, making this her very first Oscar after decades of contributions to music, film, and especially to charity. She accepted the honor by heartfelt video message from her home in Nashville, sharing gratitude and promising to “dream up new ways to help lift people up.” The award was presented by her friend Lily Tomlin, and Dolly wore a sparkling gold dress in the video that had social media buzzing, with People Magazine posting the clip and calling her “Star of the Show.” The Academy's award recognized her philanthropic work including the Dollywood Foundation and the Imagination Library, with major media like E! News and the Oscars' own channels highlighting her moving acceptance as a milestone in her legendary career.Her appearance at the Governors Awards was especially meaningful because it was her first major public statement since health rumors began swirling in October. Speculation caught fire when her sister Freida posted that she'd been “up all night praying,” which led some fans to fear the worst. Dolly herself took to Instagram to shut down reports and, with her trademark humor, told everyone “I ain't dead yet,” even as she acknowledged she'd postponed her Las Vegas residency to prioritize recovery from health issues, reportedly due to kidney stones according to People Magazine and confirmed by her manager. Parton's representatives say she's “getting better every day,” resting at home, and already decorating for the holidays. She has continued light work remotely and made it clear she is not retiring, only slowing down briefly as doctors advised.Fans continued to flood her posts with support, especially after she addressed the rumors and gave assurance she'll be ready for “more big adventures.” In a new interview with People, she promoted her latest memoir, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage, reflecting on her six decades of hits and declaring, “I feel like I'm just getting started.” Meanwhile, “Threads: My Songs in Symphony,” an innovative concert series featuring Dolly's voice and storytelling on screen, played to sold-out audiences with orchestral arrangements.To summarize, in a single whirlwind week, Dolly Parton won an Oscar for humanitarianism, went viral for her reassuring spirit, quieted speculation about her health, promoted her new book, and advanced her legacy project with a major concert event. Accordingly, outlets like Entertainment Now and People are calling this a defining chapter in her ongoing career renaissance, showing once again that after nearly 80 years, Dolly remains an unstoppable cultural force.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

“The atonement is the hinge on which all of spiritual warfare hangs.” In this episode, we're unpacking this statement as we delve into the concept of atonement and its critical role in spiritual warfare. To help understand the triumph of what Jesus Christ accomplished through His death & resurrection, we're walking through the acrostic C.R.O.S.S. (Covenant, Ransom, Ownership, Substitution, Subjugation).We lean into this concept of subjugation of the enemy and its implications for spiritual warfare, while also acknowledging the already-not-yet nature of the kingdom of God. Because of the atonement, we can have not only greater intimacy with God but also freedom from the enemy's enslavement.Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!  

Unstoppable: Seven Reasons You Can't Be Defeated • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.toddcoconato.com/give The Bible makes it clear: the Church of Jesus Christ is not weak, fragile, or doomed to fail. The gates of hell cannot prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). You are not a victim—you are a victor. Today, I want to give you seven reasons why you cannot be defeated if you belong to Christ. These truths will stir your faith and remind you of the unstoppable power of God at work in your life. 1. You Are More Than a Conqueror Romans 8:37 (NKJV): “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” 2. The Greater One Lives in You 1 John 4:4 (NKJV): “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 3. God Always Leads You in Triumph 2 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV): “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” 4. The Word of God Cannot Fail Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV): “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” 5. The Blood of Jesus Secures Your Victory Revelation 12:11 (NKJV): “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” 6. The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV): “…Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” 7. Jesus Already Crushed the Enemy Colossians 2:15 (NKJV): “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” You are unstoppable. You are more than a conqueror. The Greater One lives in you. Triumph is your portion. The Word cannot fail, the blood has secured your victory, the joy of the Lord makes you strong, and the enemy has already been crushed. Don't live like you're barely hanging on—live like a champion. Walk in boldness. Speak in authority. Laugh at the plans of the enemy. You cannot be defeated because Jesus already won. Lift your hands and declare: “I am unstoppable. I am victorious. I am more than a conqueror through Christ. I will not back down, I will not bow, and I will see God's power in my generation!” CCLI: 21943673

Story Transcript:Hu: Őszi levelek táncoltak az egyetemi kollégium udvarán.En: Autumn leaves danced in the yard of the university dormitory.Hu: Az ablakok kinyitva, hűvös szellő keringett a szobákban, s az ablakpárkányokon kupacokban hevertek a sárga, piros levelek.En: The windows were open, a cool breeze circulated in the rooms, and yellow and red leaves lay scattered in piles on the window sills.Hu: A konyhából áradó gulyás illata édesen töltötte meg az egész emeleten, Zsófia épp készítette a kedvenc magyar ételt.En: The aroma of gulyás wafted sweetly from the kitchen, filling the entire floor, as Zsófia was preparing her favorite Hungarian dish.Hu: Áron, Zsófia szobatársa, a szobájában feküdt és összeráncolt homlokkal nézte bokáját, ami a futball edzés után megdagadt és lilául terült el előtte.En: Áron, Zsófia's roommate, was lying in his room, watching his ankle with a furrowed brow, which had swollen and turned purple after football practice.Hu: Két héttel a nagy döntő előtt Áron bokája megbicsaklott egy rossz mozdulat közben.En: Just two weeks before the big final, Áron's ankle twisted during a wrong move.Hu: Áron számára a futball nem csak egy játék volt.En: For Áron, football was not just a game.Hu: Benne élt a vágy, hogy vezetője legyen csapatának és győzelemre vigye őket.En: He had the desire to lead his team and bring them to victory.Hu: Zsófia belépett a szobába egy gőzölgő tányérral.En: Zsófia entered the room with a steaming plate.Hu: „Egyél egy kicsit.En: "Eat a little.Hu: Az erős paprika jót tesz a léleknek és a testnek,” mondta kedvesen.En: The strong paprika is good for the soul and the body," she said kindly.Hu: Áron mosolyogva vette el tőle a tányért, ám belül aggódott.En: Áron took the plate from her with a smile, but inside, he was worried.Hu: „Nem lehetek ott a pályán, ha nem állok talpra,” szólalt meg végül.En: "I can't be on the field if I don't get back on my feet," he finally spoke.Hu: Bence, aki nemrég érkezett meg a szobájukhoz, az ajtóból figyelte őket.En: Bence, who had recently arrived at their room, watched them from the doorway.Hu: „Nyugi, Áron,” kezdte vidáman.En: "Relax, Áron," he began cheerfully.Hu: „Tudok pár trükköt, amit kipróbálhatnál.En: "I know a few tricks you could try.Hu: Szerezzünk be fagyasztott borsót és nézzük meg egy-két fizioterápiás videót!En: Let's get some frozen peas and watch a couple of physiotherapy videos!"Hu: ”Az elkövetkező napokban Zsófia és Bence segítettek Áronnak különféle terápiákkal, jeges borogatással és finom nyújtásokkal.En: In the days that followed, Zsófia and Bence helped Áron with various therapies, ice packs, and gentle stretches.Hu: Áron minden leckét megtanult, amit barátai megtanítottak neki.En: Áron learned every lesson his friends taught him.Hu: De minden nap érezte, hogy lassabban gyógyul, mint várta.En: But every day he felt he was healing more slowly than he had hoped.Hu: Eljött a döntő napja.En: The day of the final arrived.Hu: Az ég borongós volt, a levelek hangosan zizegtek, amikor átfújt rajtuk a szél.En: The sky was overcast, and the leaves rustled loudly as the wind blew through them.Hu: Áron, fájdalom és kétségek közepette, mégis felöltözött és elment a meccsre.En: Despite the pain and doubts, Áron dressed and went to the game.Hu: Legalább ott lesz, gondolta, hogy buzdítsa a csapatot.En: At the very least, he thought, he would be there to cheer on the team.Hu: A meccs izgalmas volt, a csapat küzdött.En: The game was exciting, the team fought hard.Hu: Áron végig a pálya szélén állt, szurkolt és tanácsot adott.En: Áron stood on the sidelines throughout, cheering and giving advice.Hu: Egyszer csak egy kulcsfontosságú játékos megsérült.En: Suddenly, a key player got injured.Hu: A döntés pillanata eljött.En: The moment of decision came.Hu: Áron gyorsan becserélte magát, bokája sajgott, de a szíve vitt előre.En: Áron quickly substituted himself in, his ankle ached, but his heart pushed him forward.Hu: Utoljára visszanézett barátaira, akik biztatóan bólintottak.En: He looked back one last time at his friends, who nodded encouragingly.Hu: Áron belépett a játékba, megérezte a csapat lendületét.En: Áron joined the game, felt the team's momentum.Hu: Mindenki együtt küzdött az utolsó percekben, és végül, a csapat győzött.En: Everyone fought together in the last few minutes, and in the end, the team won.Hu: A mérkőzés után mindenki ünnepelt, és Áron is mosolyogva állt barátai mellett.En: After the match, everyone celebrated, and Áron stood smiling beside his friends.Hu: Bár bokája fájt, szívében nyugalom volt.En: Although his ankle hurt, there was a sense of calm in his heart.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy ugyan a versengés fontos, de a saját egészsége még fontosabb.En: He learned that while competition is important, his own health is even more so.Hu: Zsófia, mellette állva, megosztotta vele: „A legjobb, hogy megértetted, mi is számít igazán.En: Standing next to him, Zsófia shared, "The best part is that you've understood what truly matters."Hu: ”Bence nevetve felkiáltott: „A gulyás és barátság minden sebet begyógyít!En: Bence laughed and shouted: "Gulyás and friendship heal all wounds!"Hu: ” Ahogy a nap elmúlt, Áron megértette, hogy minden győzelem egyensúly és barátok kérdése is.En: As the day passed, Áron realized that every victory is also a matter of balance and friends.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has kept headlines buzzing with a series of major career, business, and personal milestones over the past several days, each potentially pivotal for his long-term narrative. The biggest headline came from the business world as Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, officially became a billionaire after elf Beauty agreed to acquire her skincare brand Rhode for a staggering one billion dollars. According to AOL Entertainment, Justin took to Instagram to celebrate Hailey, posting heartfelt photos of the two embracing and sharing a congratulatory message. The news was amplified by Hailey's own Vogue cover, where she dismissed persistent rumors about marriage troubles, emphasizing how strong and real their relationship is behind closed doors. This follows last weekend's buzzworthy moment when Justin surprised everyone with an unannounced performance alongside SZA at Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour in LA. Hailey, ever the supportive spouse, shared multiple Instagram clips of Justin serenading on stage and affectionately kissing SZA's hand, calling the artists her two favorites.On the business side, there's also been chatter about Justin's newest venture, the streetwear label SKYLRK, launched in July. India Today covered how Hailey has played an active role in design, with Justin maintaining full creative control and working alongside longtime collaborator Neima Khaila. Hailey, in a recent GQ interview, called the process “incredible and amazing,” noting that creative synergy is at the heart of their work—and their marriage. She also shared glimpses of their routine balancing family life with new parenthood, as the Biebers remain fiercely protective of their fifteen-month-old son Jack while navigating the realities of the public eye.Musically, Bieber made waves on November 13 with a livestream performance of “Purpose” featuring We The Band, as reported by numerous fan accounts and YouTube clips. While headlines haven't pointed to any brand-new releases, his continued presence onstage and participation in buzzy music nights—like the recent Justin Bieber Night in New York—show his enduring draw. There's also significant buzz ahead of a tribute concert to his catalog slated for November 22 in LA, reinforcing his impact on pop culture.On social, Justin has been trending for his show of support for Hailey, with followers praising his heartfelt messages for her business triumph. As for rumors, speculation about new music remains high but unconfirmed; none of the major outlets have reported definitive news on a Bieber album drop or tour plans. All told, the past week has been a blend of billion-dollar deals, intimate stage moments, and a united power couple publicly at ease with balancing fame, fashion, family, and future plans.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The teaching of St Gregory is so fundamental to Orthodoxy that he is especially commemorated each year in Great Lent on the Sunday following the Sunday of Orthodoxy (as well as on Nov. 14); Bishop Kallistos observes in the English edition of the Philokalia, "his successful defence of the divine and uncreated character of the light of Tabor...[is] seen as a direct continuation of the preceding celebration, as nothing less than a renewed Triumph of Orthodoxy."   The son of a prominent family, St Gregory was born (1296) and raised in Constantinople. At about age twenty, he abandoned a promising secular career to become a monk on Mt Athos. (His family joined him en masse: two of his brothers went with him to the Holy Mountain; at the same time his widowed mother, two of his sisters, and many of the household servants also entered monastic life.) He spent the next twenty years living as a hermit, spending five days a week in complete solitude, then joining the brethren on weekends for the Divine Liturgy and its accompanying services.   Around 1335 he was called to live a much more public life in defense of the faith and spirituality of the Church. A Greek living in Italy, Barlaam the Calabrian, had launched an attack on the hesychastic spirituality of the Church. Fundamentally, Barlaam denied that man can attain to a true vision of God Himself, or true union with Him, in this life. Gregory, recognizing in this an attack on the Christian faith itself, responded. He even left the Holy Mountain and re-settled in Constantinople so as better to wage the struggle, which had become so public that a Church Council was called to settle the issue. St Gregory's views were affirmed, and Barlaam's condemned, at the Council of Constantinople of 1341.   Though Barlaam himself returned to Italy, a series of his followers continued the attack, eventually resulting in two more Councils in 1347 and 1351, both of which affirmed the hesychasts' position. Metropolitan Hierotheos (The Mind of the Orthodox Church) writes that these councils have "all the marks of an Ecumenical Council." This, along with the fact that St Gregory's views are affirmed in the Synodikon of Orthodoxy (appointed to be read in churches every Sunday of Orthodoxy), and his commemoration every second Sunday of Great Lent, makes clear that his teaching is a basic and indispensable part of the Orthodox Faith.   In 1347 St Gregory was consecrated Metropolitan of Thessaloniki, where he served until his repose. (He spent a year of this period as the prisoner of Turkish pirates). Despite (or due to?) his austere monastic background, he was revered by his flock: immediately after his repose in 1359, popular veneration of him sprang up in Thessaloniki, Constantinople and Mt Athos and, in 1368, only nine years after his death, the Church officially glorified him as a saint.   St Gregory was always clear that unceasing mental prayer is not a special calling of monastics, but is possible and desirable for every Christian in every walk of life. See his On the Necessity of Constant Prayer for all Christians, reproduced on this site.

David Epstein, author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, dismantles the myth that early specialization is the only path to excellence. Drawing from research on elite athletes, musicians, and scientists, David reveals how individual variability in learning means there is no one-size-fits-all approach to skill development. He reframes the Tiger Woods and Mozart narratives, showing how their success came from internal drive, not just parental pressure. From his own journey—leaving Sports Illustrated to investigate drug cartels—David demonstrates why sampling periods, lateral thinking, and diverse experiences create more adaptable, innovative problem-solvers than narrow expertise alone.

The 2025 World Pickleball Championships had everything — drama, emotion, controversy, and the best pickleball of the year.

Nick Monroe joins the podcast to recap Elena Rybakina's dominant triumph at the WTA Finals, where she won every match to claim the final title of the women's season. Monroe also breaks down how Novak Djokovic was able to battle past Lorenzo Musetti in Athens, and the the 24-time major champion's subsequent decision to withdraw from the ATP Finals. The broadcaster looks at what makes Learner Tien so special after he won his first career title in Metz, and explains why this crop of American men continues to push each other to be better. Monroe discusses all the action taking place at The ATP Finals, where Jannik Sinner is receiving a hero's welcome in Italy and Carlos Alcaraz is one match away from clinching year-end No. 1. The former doubles pro looks at whether Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Alexander Zverev or the rest of the field can challenge the top two, or if another Alcaraz/Sinner showdown is looming in the final match of the season.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by French racing expert Adam Mills to reveal the most exciting group of National Hunt imports we have seen in years. These are the horses coming directly from Auteuil, Compiegne and Pau into the top yards in Ireland and the UK, and they could shape the Triumph Hurdle, the Ballymore, the Albert Bartlett and the key novice chase divisions for seasons to come. Adam has identified 15 horses with real potential. Eight now trained by Willie Mullins, who has produced four of the last five Triumph Hurdle winners, and seven more spread across Nicky Henderson, Dan Skelton, David Pipe, Gavin Cromwell, Gordon Elliott, Henry De Bromhead and Ben Pauling. We discuss:• The juvenile who already looks like a Triumph Hurdle prospect• The strong stayer type who could become an Albert Bartlett horse• The Prix Royal Monarch winner, from a race that has produced State Man, Gaelic Warrior, Sir Gino and Salvator Mundi• The new Galiway recruit to join Vauban, Gala Marceau and Jimmy Du Seuil• The dark horse who could progress rapidly from hurdling to chasing Is there another Majborough, Vauban or Sir Gino in this group? We break it down with pedigree insight, French race film notes, pace profiles and likely trainer intent. Horses discussedKai Lung, Larinka, Narciso Has, Madness D'Elle, Manita, Macho Man, Mister Yves, Proactif (Willie Mullins)Manlaga (Henderson), Parchment (Pipe), Mojito Des Mottes (Ben Pauling), Maestro Conti (Skelton), Ole Ole (Cromwell), Matin Midi Et Soir (De Bromhead), Mange Tout (Elliott) Presented by 1xBet.ie – more than 7000 events per day, fast withdrawals, and new customer specials.

From the publisher:“There Is Life on the Planet Mars” ―New York Times, December 9, 1906This New York Times headline was no joke. In the early 1900s, many Americans actually believed we had discovered intelligent life on Mars, as best-selling science writer David Baron chronicles in The Martians, his truly bizarre tale of a nation swept up in Mars mania.At the center of Baron's historical drama is Percival Lowell, the Boston Brahmin and Harvard scion, who observed “canals” etched into the surface of Mars. Lowell devised a grand theory that the red planet was home to a utopian society that had built gargantuan ditches to funnel precious meltwater from the polar icecaps to desert farms and oasis cities. The public fell in love with the ambitious amateur astronomer who shared his findings in speeches and wildly popular books.While at first people treated the Martians whimsically—Martians headlining Broadway shows, biologists speculating whether they were winged or gilled—the discussion quickly became serious. Inventor Nikola Tesla announced he had received radio signals from Mars; Alexander Graham Bell agreed there was “no escape from the conviction” that intelligent beings inhabited the planet. Martian excitement reached its zenith when Lowell financed an expedition to photograph Mars from Chile's Atacama Desert, resulting in what newspapers hailed as proof of the Martian canals' existence.Triumph quickly yielded to tragedy. Those wild claims and highly speculative photographs emboldened Lowell's critics, whose withering attacks gathered steam and eventually wrecked the man and his theory—but not the fervor he had started. Although Lowell would die discredited and delusional in 1916, the Mars frenzy spurred a nascent literary genre called science fiction, and the world's sense of its place in the universe would never be the same.Today, the red planet maintains its grip on the public's imagination. Many see Mars as civilization's destiny—the first step toward our becoming an interplanetary species—but, as David Baron demonstrates, this tendency to project our hopes onto the world next door is hardly new. The Martians is a scintillating and necessary reminder that while we look to Mars for answers, what we often find are mirrors of ourselves.David Baron's website is https://davidbaronauthor.com/ Information on his book can be found at https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324090663He is on social media at https://x.com/dhbaron?lang=enAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory
