How does escaping a hurricane spark a sleep industry revolution? Discover the wild journey behind Canada's fastest-growing mattress brand!When Jon Piett fled a hurricane in Turks & Caicos, he had no idea it'd launch him into the heart of Canada's mattress industry. In this episode, Jon reveals how starting over led him from a cold garage—crafting weighted blankets—to founding Lotus Sleep Products and opening six Modern Mattress stores across Saskatchewan.If you've ever wondered how to compete with mattress giants or how to build a guest-first culture that drives real sales, you'll love Jon's story. He shares the surprising decision to ditch big brands in favor of private-label products, the “micro-moments” that transformed his team's mindset, and how obsessing over every little customer detail (even lighting and opening the door) became Modern Mattress's secret sauce.Industry experts said his strategy was “crazy.” Sales and conversions say otherwise. Learn how Jon's team involved staff in product design, fostered culture through hundreds of small rituals, and flipped the mattress industry playbook upside down—proving that action (not permission) is the real difference-maker.Stay tuned for Jon's best advice for entrepreneurs, how Lotus is eyeing global expansion, and a behind-the-scenes look at what's next for the Canadian sleep scene.Timestamps:- 00:45 – The hurricane escape that changed Jon's life- 05:26 – Why Jon pestered his way into the mattress industry- 12:36 – The garage story: From homemade weighted blankets to the first Lotus mattress- 18:14 – The “180-degree” shift that made Modern Mattress unique- 19:22 – How staff-driven product design changed everything- 22:52 – Why dropping big brands actually boosted sales- 24:48 – The real work: Building culture and team mindset (and why most fail)- 26:08 – Tiny habits, huge impact: The door-opening ritual explained- 29:46 – What's next: Global expansion and tech innovation- 32:39 – Jon's #1 advice for aspiring entrepreneursConnect with The FAM Podcast:

In this episode, I'll be taking you on an in-depth journey through my very first season at Club Med Turks and Caicos, where I worked as a Scuba Gestion. I also plan to record episodes about some of my other seasons—maybe not every single one—but enough to fill in the gaps between guest interviews and keep the story flowing. I'm aiming to dive deeper into the details of everything I recall from my first season, so today's focus is just that: how I got there, what I was doing before, and how I ended up spending ten years with a company that changed everything. Part of the reason I'm recording this is personal—something to leave behind, a record of how it all began.

  ¡Hola! Soy Miriam Prada, interiorista apasionada y tu anfitriona de cada semana en este podcast donde desgranamos el diseño de interiores sin filtros y con mucha autenticidad. En este episodio entramos a fondo en cómo diseñar un open plan desde cero, con todos los matices técnicos y creativos que lo hacen posible: cómo medir correctamente (¡sí, hasta con la palma de tu mano!), por qué entender el espacio en tres dimensiones lo cambia todo, cómo definir zonas funcionales sin necesidad de muros, y cuál es la distribución ideal según cómo vives, no solo cómo se ve bonito en Pinterest. Además, hablamos de circulación, jerarquía espacial, puntos de luz, enchufes, almacenamiento estratégico y ese equilibrio entre materialidad y silencio que transforma un espacio abierto en uno que realmente se siente bien. Si estás por rediseñar, reformar o simplemente soñar con tu futuro hogar, este episodio es tu brújula para no perderte entre metros cuadrados y decisiones eternas.     Gracias por darle al play.

A missing NYC executive's body has been found in the Turks & Caico's not far from the resort where he was staying with his wife. The couple was celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver wonder what stories slip through the cracks of mainstream media coverage? From unexpected revelations in high-profile cases to bizarre medical procedures gone wrong, today's episode dives into the news you won't hear elsewhere.The Department of Justice and FBI have officially closed their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, concluding he did not maintain a client list and confirming his death as suicide. After years of speculation and conspiracy theories, these findings directly contradict popular narratives about the case. Even more surprisingly, the Trump administration plans to release video evidence supporting these conclusions. Whether this will satisfy public curiosity or simply fuel further questions remains to be seen.We also explore the dangerous world of cosmetic surgery, specifically the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, which carries not only risks of death and infection but also the unexpected and unpleasant side effect of odor from tissue death. Two disturbing missing persons cases receive updates: Travis Decker, the fugitive father accused of murdering his three young daughters, may have been spotted in Idaho's vast Sawtooth National Forest, while authorities in Turks and Caicos have launched a murder investigation after discovering a decomposed body believed to be missing Manhattan resident Brian Terrence, who mysteriously disappeared during a romantic getaway.What national treasure would you most like to visit?

This episode explores part of the story of St John Philby, father to Kim and eventually advisor to King Ibn Saud. Philby was one of the few administrators that the British government and its colonial government in India could find who understood Arabia and Mesopotamia. In 1915 as British fortunes against the Ottoman Empire took a turn for the worst, Philby was sent to Basra to reorganise the city's finances after the retreat of the Turks. He would eventually help to organise the financial administration of the 1916 Arab Revolt.*****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

Waarom verlaten sommige mensen hun wijk nooit meer? In de wijk Krispijn, in Dordrecht, ligt het antwoord besloten in solidariteit, herkenning en een diepgeworteld gemeenschapsgevoel. Gertjan Doodkorten, geboren in Den Haag en inmiddels al meer dan dertig jaar bewoner van Krispijn, vertelt zijn verhaal in de podcastserie Door en door Krispijn. Zijn woorden geven een openhartig inkijkje in het leven in deze volkswijk.“Je biedt gewoon aan van: joh, zou ik even helpen?”Dat is de sfeer die Gertjan omschrijft. Ooit verrast door de cultuur in Krispijn, groeide hij er in, mede dankzij de warmte van de mensen. "Het is een volkswijk," zegt hij, "maar wel één waar iedereen voor elkaar klaarstaat."Gertjan kwam naar Krispijn via zijn werk in de zorg én de liefde: “Ik kwam hier wonen, leerde mijn vrouw kennen — en zij wilde absoluut niet verhuizen. De familie woonde hier, haar zus zelfs pal naast ons. Dat was een groot pluspunt.”Toch was het wennen in het begin. “In een dorp heb je afstandelijkheid tussen groepen. Hier staat iedereen voor elkaar klaar, ongeacht afkomst of religie. Dat vind ik echt een groot pluspunt van Krispijn.”In de decennia die volgden zag Gertjan de wijk veranderen: “In het begin had je echt straten waar alleen maar Turken woonden, of alleen maar Nederlanders. Nu zie je dat het veel meer door elkaar loopt.” Volgens hem heeft dat juist iets moois opgeleverd. “Mijn overburen zijn Turks. Maar hoe ze met ons omgaan, hoe ze meeleven met wat er in de straat gebeurt — dat is heel positief.”Hoewel hij soms twijfelde of de wijk voldoende ruimte biedt voor kinderen, ziet hij ook de kracht van de gemeenschap: “Iedereen kent ieders kind. Mensen letten op elkaars kinderen. Dat is het voordeel van kinderen opvoeden in Krispijn.”Na een loopbaan in de betonindustrie en een medische afkeuring door rugproblemen, vond Gertjan een nieuwe roeping in het wijkwerk. Tegen wil en dank, zou je kunnen zeggen: “Mijn vrouw ging eerst naar bewonersbijeenkomsten, maar kwam teleurgesteld terug: ‘Je kan praten als Brugman, maar het helpt niks', zei ze. Toen zei ik: als jij niet meer gaat, dan ga ik.”Hij is inmiddels voorzitter van de Wijkraad Krispijn. Dat klinkt feestelijk, maar volgens Gertjan is het veel meer dan dat: “We zijn er niet alleen voor leuke feestjes, we zoeken ook de verbinding met de politiek. Afvalproblemen, jeugdzorg, nieuwbouw — we willen daar gewoon zeggenschap over.”“Als je bewoners wil bereiken, moet je zelf op pad.”Dat is zijn missie: mensen activeren, vooral jongeren. “De groep tussen 12 en 18 is eigenlijk vergeten. Die kinderen hangen op straat, worden overal weggestuurd. Dat kan niet. We zijn actief op zoek naar plekken voor een jeugdhonk. De aanhouder wint.”Zijn betrokkenheid bij de wijk komt niet alleen voort uit praktische betrokkenheid, maar ook uit persoonlijke verwerking. “Ik heb het een en ander meegemaakt in de jeugdzorg. Twee jaar geleden ben ik gediagnosticeerd met PTSS. Daar ben ik voor behandeld. Nu voel ik me weer als die verpleegkundige van vroeger: iemand die klaarstaat om mensen te helpen. Alleen doe ik dat nu in de wijk.”“Nu pak ik een sociale rol — ik wil mensen bewegen om naar ons toe te komen, niet alleen met problemen, ook met leuke dingen.”Gertjan sluit af met een diepe overtuiging: “Ik zou hier tot aan mijn dood willen blijven wonen. Als het haalbaar is, blijven we gewoon hier.”Multicultureel en verbondenKinderen op straat, maar niet alleenVan beton naar bewonersbelangenTrauma's, verwerking en veerkracht

The EC Show Goes INTERNATIONAL – LIVE from Turks & Caicos!

My guest today spent over a decade with Club Med, working from 1985 to 1996. He began his journey in Turks and Caicos as Assistant Food and Beverage Manager and quickly rose through the ranks to become Food and Beverage Manager. His career took him around the globe, with assignments in Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, Haiti, and even aboard the Club Med 2 cruise ship. Originally from Bangor, Maine, and now calling California home, please join me in welcoming the seasoned world traveler and hospitality expert, Stuart Emery! Stuart takes us through the trials and triumphs of his very first season at Club Med, including the unique reason that inspired him to apply. After his time in the villages, Stuart spent five years as a Club Med recruiter—and he shares a memorable story from that chapter, too. We also catch up on what Stuart's been up to lately and reflect on the things he misses most about his former role. Enjoy this delightful conversation with Stuart! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora, and Listen Notes.

When Turks and Caicos native Mario Rigby landed in Cape Town with nothing but a backpack, a pair of worn-in sneakers, and a dream to walk the length of Africa, he thought maybe he'd made the worst mistake of his life. But actually walking across Africa? That brought peace and a deeper understanding of the power of hospitality, movement, and self discovery.  In this episode of Travel Tales by Afar, Mario shares how walking 7,500 miles permanently changed the way he travels—and lives. Plus, we dive into what sustainable tourism really looks like and the aftermath of reverse culture shock.   7,500 Miles: From Cape Town to Cairo In this episode you'll learn:  Why Turks and Caicos is a microcosm for the power of sustainable tourism.  What it's like to cross the white desert  in Egypt.  How local culture in Cape Town, Sudan, and El Salvador reshaped Mario's perspective on travel.  An Epic Sojourn, With A Little Help From Locals  [02:50] This childhood TV show planted the seed for adventure, before it was famous.  [08:38] The local encounter that changed everything on day one.  [14:41] When a dog attack in Sudan led to a Tedx talk.  [22:19]  What happens next?

What happens when migrants are rejected by the host society that first invited them? How do they return to a homeland that considers them outsiders? Foreign in Two Homelands: Racism, Return Migration, and Turkish-German History explores the transnational history of Turkish migrants, Germany's largest ethnic minority, who arrived as 'guest-workers' (Gastarbeiter) between 1961 and 1973. By the 1980s, amid rising racism, neo-Nazis and ordinary Germans blamed Turks for unemployment, criticized their Muslim faith, and argued they could never integrate. In 1983, policymakers enacted a controversial law: paying Turks to leave. Thus commenced one of modern Europe's largest and fastest waves of remigration: within one year, 15% of the migrants—250,000 men, women, and children—returned to Turkey. Their homeland, however, ostracized them as culturally estranged 'Germanized Turks' (Almancı). Through archival research and oral history interviews in both countries and languages, Michelle Lynn Kahn highlights migrants' personal stories and reveals how many felt foreign in two homelands. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Guest: Michelle Lynn Kahn (she/her), an Associate Professor of Modern European History at the University of Richmond. She is a scholar of the global and transnational history of Germany after 1945, with expertise in far-right extremism, migration, racism, gender, and sexuality. Host: Jenna Pittman (she/her), a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Duke University. She studies modern European history, political economy, and Germany from 1945-1990.

KT kicks things off with a jaw-dropping stat: over 6,000 dog attacks on U.S. postal workers were reported in 2024—a seven-year high. From there, the crew dives headfirst into a hilarious and heated discussion about aggressive dogs, misunderstood pit bulls, and the psychology of canine behavior. Skin shares a personal story about his sweet dog Simon losing his mind at the mailman, while Ben wonders if dogs are just trying to protect us—or plotting a daily turf war.But it's not just about dogs. Ben recounts a snorkeling trip in Turks and Caicos where he couldn't stop imagining a shark attack, despite being in calm waters. (“We're all about to die. We're a shark attack.”) The conversation spirals into everything from pit bull stereotypes to the unpredictability of wild animals—and even a philosophical moment about risk, responsibility, and the wisdom of Jackass stunts.

How do they return to a homeland that considers them outsiders? Foreign in Two Homelands: Racism, Return Migration, and Turkish-German History explores the transnational history of Turkish migrants, Germany's largest ethnic minority, who arrived as 'guest-workers' (Gastarbeiter) between 1961 and 1973. By the 1980s, amid rising racism, neo-Nazis and ordinary Germans blamed Turks for unemployment, criticized their Muslim faith, and argued they could never integrate. In 1983, policymakers enacted a controversial law: paying Turks to leave. Thus commenced one of modern Europe's largest and fastest waves of remigration: within one year, 15% of the migrants—250,000 men, women, and children—returned to Turkey. Their homeland, however, ostracized them as culturally estranged 'Germanized Turks' (Almancı). Through archival research and oral history interviews in both countries and languages, Michelle Lynn Kahn highlights migrants' personal stories and reveals how many felt foreign in two homelands. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Guest: Michelle Lynn Kahn (she/her), an Associate Professor of Modern European History at the University of Richmond.

We worked on vacay for y'all! Recorded in Turks and Caicos and of course had some technical difficulties but Baddies Africa has been an interesting watch. From Trio vs trio vs trio to Natalie's fake sit-down with Scotty, wasted food, and now Summer allegedly hit by Zeus security? The girls are not safe and we need to talk about it. Tune in for this week's dose of mess!

Bismarck built an empire. His Emperor destroyed it. The German Empire's swift rise to world power status frightened Europe and threatened the balance of power. So Bismark convinced Germany's neighbors and other world powers that while Germany was prosperous and powerful, it was peaceful. Wilhelm II, however, flexed his empire's muscles, frightened his neighbors and insulted other world leaders. The brief history of the German Empire hold lessons for the United Sates (the incumbent superpower) and China (the rising world power). In this interview, we discuss the following:►The term Reich - First Reich, Second Reich and Third Reich. And why this term is no longer used in Germany. ►The year of three emperors ►The term 48ers (not to be confused with the 49ers)►Bismarck: a giant statesman of European history►Wilhelm II: the man who destroyed what Bismarck had meticulously built ►In the 19th century, did Germans call themselves German? ►Why did Bismarck say to build a German state, you need blood and iron? ►How German wars led to the creation of the German Empire? ►Why was the German Empire founded in Paris, and not in Germany? ►How did Darwinism figure into the history of the German Empire? ►How did Wilhelm II make enemies for the German Empire? ►How did Wilhelm II interact with the media?

"Is it really worth spending thousands on a tropical vacation if your kids would rather be home playing video games and ordering DoorDash?"In this brutally honest and hilariously relatable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into the emotional and financial rollercoaster of planning summer vacations—especially when your kids might not even care.Ben opens up about his evolving philosophy on family trips, reflecting on everything from negative ATM balances to $900 dinners in Turks and Caicos that left his kids unimpressed and his wallet gasping for air. With Ben chiming in about his own parenting journey and the wisdom of Skin's dad, Jerry Wade—“You can't save money on vacation”—the crew explores the tension between creating lasting memories and questioning whether it's all just a very expensive exercise in futility.Key Themes & Moments:

What happens when a giant man straps on a suitcase-sized backpack, boards the wrong flight, and nearly takes out a stranger in the process?In this riotously funny episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers returns from his family vacation to Turks and Caicos with a story so absurd, it could only happen to him. From frugal travel hacks gone wrong to airport meltdowns, Ben recounts the moment he became a “giant torsoed mountain pear-shaped man” lumbering through DFW with a backpack so massive it nearly caused an international incident.

What happens when a frugal vacation plan meets a suitcase disguised as a backpack?In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers recounts his hilariously chaotic family trip to Turks and Caicos—a journey sparked by Skin's glowing recommendations and sealed with a spontaneous charity auction bid. But paradise quickly turns into a comedy of errors when Ben's wife, in a noble attempt to save money, outfits him with a backpack so massive it could double as a mobile closet.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 123-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,126 on turnover of 5-billion N-T. The market moved sharply lower on Monday - losing more than 340 points - amid ongoing investor concerns over the United States' tariff policies after President Donald Trump accused China of violating a preliminary trade deal with Washington. Sports agency warns CTTTA for revoking athlete's WTT US Smash slot The Sports Administration has issued a formal warning to the Chinese Taipei Table Tennis Association and announced the suspension of subsidies unrelated to training and competitions. The move comes after the association revoked (撤銷) Yeh Yi-tian's place at the World Table Tennis U-S Smash tournament scheduled for July. Deputy Education Minister Chang Liao Wan-jien says the incident harmed Yeh's right to participate in competitions, and the association failed to actively respond to public concerns. While Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee says Premier Cho Jung-tai is calling on national sports associations to listen to athletes and their coaches in regards the scheduling of events. EVA Air joins IATA's Turbulence Aware Platform to enhance flight safety EVA Airways has signed a cooperation agreement with the International Air Transport Association to join its Turbulence Aware platform - which seeks to improve flight safety through real-time data sharing. Airline President Clay Sun says the carrier believes that joining the program will help pilots and dispatchers better analyze real-time data, plan and choose appropriate flight paths to avoid areas with higher turbulence (亂流) risks, and ensure passenger safety. The agreement was signed by Sun and International Air Transport Association Director General Willie Walsh during the association's three-day annual general meeting in New Delhi this past weekend. The International Air Transport Association says participating airlines generated a total of 51.8-million turbulence reports in 2024, a 35-per cent increase from 2023, which is highly beneficial in reducing the damage caused by turbulence. UN Elects ExGerman FM as Assembly President The U.N. General Assembly has overwhelmingly elected Germany's former foreign minister Annalena Baerbock to be the next head of the 193-member world body. The vote was held Monday by a secret-ballot demanded by Russia. Russia objected to Baerbock, accusing her of having pursued (從事，實行) an “anti-Russia policy,” Baerbock will replace the current assembly president at the start of the 80th session in September. US Boulder Attack More Victims IDed From the US…. Four additional victims have been identified in Boulder, Colorado attack, bringing number of injured to 12. The FBI says the suspect had been planning the attack for a year. He has been charged with a hate crime (仇恨犯罪). AP's Lisa Dwyer reports Caribbean Dust Cloud Heads Towards US A massive cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert is blanketing most of the Caribbean in the biggest event of its kind this year as it heads toward the United States. Experts say the cloud extends some 3,200 kilometers from Jamaica to well past Barbados in the eastern Caribbean, and some 1,200 kilometers from the Turks and Caicos Islands in the northern Caribbean down south to Trinidad and Tobago. The hazy (霧濛濛的) skies unleashed sneezes, coughs and watery eyes across the Caribbean. Forecasters say the plume is expected to hit Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi late this week and into the weekend. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Tamara recently took a travel agent FAM trip to Turks and Caicos and spent two nights at The Palms and two nights at The Shore Club. She also visited many other properties and today she shares her insights into each to help you decide where to stay in Turks and Caicos. Episode Highlights Turks and Caicos is known for its beautiful beaches and not for all-inclusives or as a party island Most of the hotels have great accommodations for families with 1, 2, 3-bedroom accommodations and up (including villa rentals) When arriving, be prepared for a long wait at passport control/immigration. Expect about an hour and longer on the weekends. When departing, leave 2-3 hours to get checked in and wait in the security line. There isn't a lot of room in the gate area but there is an area upstairs that has more space. To save time at the airport, you can pay for Fast Track access starting at $75 per person, each way. Private transfers from the airport are about $150 each way, but cabs can be $30+ per person for shared taxis. Taxis throughout the island are priced per person and are pricey. It is about a 15-20 minute drive from the PLS (Providenciales) to most of the hotels The Palms is on Grace Bay Beach (the most famous beach on the island). It is a luxury hotel with a lush, garden-like setting right on the beach. The style and decor is similar to Sandy Lane in Barbados, a colonial or plantation style. Tamara stayed in a one-bedroom suite oceanfront, which was huge with a full kitchen, living room, laundry, dining room, large balcony, bedroom with tons of closet space, and one and one-half bathrooms. They recently did a renovation at The Palms of rooms but also of the pool area and added a new pool/beach restaurant and pool bar (including a swim-up bar). The restaurants at The Palms were very good. Parallel 23 is fine dining and Sisi is modern Mexican. The Palms also has one of the best spas in the Caribbean The high season is during Festive (winter holidays) and President's Day weekend. The low season would be July-September Pricing in the Caribbean is quite high. The Shore Club is across the island on Long Bay Beach. There is a beach-to-beach package so that you can split your week vacation between the two properties. Long Bay Beach is breezy and very popular for kite surfing. The beach itself is narrow but long and The Shore Club has plenty of space to spread out. The water here is very calm and you can walk out very far, especially at low tide. Shore Club is also a luxury hotel and it has a sophisticated feel. There are villas and multi-bedroom accommodations that would be amazing for a girls' trip or multi-generational vacation. The one-bedroom oceanfront suite is huge and great for families with teens because there is a study that has a pull-out couch, full bathroom, and closets and a door that closes off from the rest of the space. There is another pull out couch in the living room. There is a sushi restaurant and a comfort food restaurant, plus pool bars and restaurants. There is a shuttle between the properties and also the four-star Sands property and guests have signing privileges for all the restaurants. The Alexandra Resort is a four-star, all-inclusive on Grace Bay next to The Palms with multi-bedroom suites and restaurants The Wymara Resort has a South Beach, sexy vibe that would be great for couples and honeymooners but the rooms are a bit smaller The Ritz-Carlton is a high-rise hotel with a smaller beach. The second tower is for Ritz-Carlton Residences and you can't use or earn points for the Residences. They are building an Andaz and St. Regis on Turks and Caicos now too. The H20 Resort on Long Bay Beach is a small boutique hotel that is good for people that are independent travelers and enjoy watersports as they have a kite surfing school and tons of rentals. Tamara is going back to Turks and Caicos in the fall for a Family Travel Association conference at Beaches Turks and Caicos (stay tuned!!) On Thursday nights there is a fish fry with food trucks, music, and artisans/souvenir vendors. The Junkanoo band performs and it is such a lot of fun. You can island hop by ferry or plane (but there is a separate terminal for domestic flights) You can also go scuba diving, snorkeling, charter a boat for fishing or island hopping, or boat out to the tiki bar off Long Bay Beach.

He was born in Thessalonica and, though baptised a Christian, he accepted Islam as a young man, eventually becoming a Sufi (one of a mystical sect among the Muslims). But in time he began to repent, and concluded that martyrdom was the only way for him to cleanse himself from the stain of his denial of Christ. Having repented, he presented himself to the Turks dressed as a Christian. He was thrown into prison and tortured, but in response to every enticement, threat or torment, he would only say 'I was born a Christian, and as a Christian I shall die.' Finally he was sentenced to death, which Alexander joyfully accepted as a sign of God's forgiveness. He was slain by the sword in Smyrna in 1794.

John V Palaiologos takes charge of the Empire but finds he has only one option left to save his state. He must travel West and beg for Latin help. Meanwhile the Turks conquer Thrace.Period: 1355-71 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As a monk, he was known for his very severe asceticism. Against his will, he was made Bishop of Zahum, where he served his flock faithfully for many years, "keeping it from the cruelty of the Turks and the guile of the Latins" (Prologue). When his monastery was destroyed by the Turks he moved to Ostrog, where he reposed. His body has remained whole, incorrupt, healing and wonderworking to this day. Innumerable miracles have been worked at his grave; both Christians and Muslims seek out his relics for healing from sicknesses and sufferings.   (A story heard from a parishioner at St Basil of Ostrog Church in Illinois: while the Saint's relics remain intact, reputedly his shoes wear out from time to time and need to be replaced.)

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Catherine of Siena, Virgin and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 268The Saint of the day is Saint Catherine of SienaSaint Catherine of Siena's Story The value Catherine makes central in her short life and which sounds clearly and consistently through her experience is complete surrender to Christ. What is most impressive about her is that she learns to view her surrender to her Lord as a goal to be reached through time. She was the 23rd child of Jacopo and Lapa Benincasa and grew up as an intelligent, cheerful, and intensely religious person. Catherine disappointed her mother by cutting off her hair as a protest against being overly encouraged to improve her appearance in order to attract a husband. Her father ordered her to be left in peace, and she was given a room of her own for prayer and meditation. She entered the Dominican Third Order at 18 and spent the next three years in seclusion, prayer, and austerity. Gradually, a group of followers gathered around her—men and women, priests and religious. An active public apostolate grew out of her contemplative life. Her letters, mostly for spiritual instruction and encouragement of her followers, began to take more and more note of public affairs. Opposition and slander resulted from her mixing fearlessly with the world and speaking with the candor and authority of one completely committed to Christ. She was cleared of all charges at the Dominican General Chapter of 1374. Her public influence reached great heights because of her evident holiness, her membership in the Dominican Third Order, and the deep impression she made on the pope. She worked tirelessly for the crusade against the Turks and for peace between Florence and the pope. In 1378, the Great Schism began, splitting the allegiance of Christendom between two, then three, popes and putting even saints on opposing sides. Catherine spent the last two years of her life in Rome, in prayer and pleading on behalf of the cause of Pope Urban VI and the unity of the Church. She offered herself as a victim for the Church in its agony. She died surrounded by her “children” and was canonized in 1461. Catherine ranks high among the mystics and spiritual writers of the Church. In 1939, she and Francis of Assisi were declared co-patrons of Italy. Pope Paul VI named her and Teresa of Avila doctors of the Church in 1970. Her spiritual testament is found in The Dialogue. Reflection Though she lived her life in a faith experience and spirituality far different from that of our own time, Catherine of Siena stands as a companion with us on the Christian journey in her undivided effort to invite the Lord to take flesh in her own life. Events which might make us wince or chuckle or even yawn fill her biographies: a mystical experience at six, childhood betrothal to Christ, stories of harsh asceticism, her frequent ecstatic visions. Still, Catherine lived in an age which did not know the rapid change of 21st-century mobile America. The value of her life for us today lies in her recognition of holiness as a goal to be sought over the course of a lifetime.
