In episode 133 of the Gutenberg Changelog Podcast, Birgit Pauli-Haack hosts Faith Ruth Imokol, a Ugandan web developer and longtime Gutenberg advocate, to discuss the Gutenberg 23.6 release and the upcoming WordPress 7.1 update. The episode opens with insights into the WordPress community in Uganda, highlighting their active WordCamp scene and educational initiatives such as…

When Chinese policeman Dong Guangping wrote an article commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 1989 military crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing, it kicked off a chain of events that led to him serving jail time and losing his job. But it also sparked the beginning of a deep desire to live more freely. So Dong began planning how he might escape China. Just a few weeks ago, back in late May, he finally achieved his dream, having taken the huge risk of crossing China's Yellow Sea in a dinghy to reach South Korean waters. Phoebe Kong, based in the BBC's Hong Kong bureau, explained how rare Dong's achievement really is. Yemen has faced decades of economic hardship and war, but the khat industry is thriving. Khat is a plant, and when chewed it acts as a stimulant. It is estimated to consume one-third of Yemen's groundwater and occupy much of the country's agricultural land. Dalia Haidar of BBC Arabic has been looking into Yemen's relationship to khat and the problem it can cause.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services.

THE WORST outbreak of Ebola in history is underway in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many will respond to that news with skepticism given the way we were propagandized during the COVID outbreak five years ago. But facts are facts: Nearly 1600 people have died thus far in the outbreak and it's spreading much faster than the 2014 outbreak in West Africa. The infection fatality rate is upwards of 40%. By comparison, COVID only had an IFR of about 0.2%. In addition, this particular strain of Ebola has an incubation period of up to three weeks. That means somebody who appears to be well could conceivably travel on an international flight and bring the virus to another continent. So, fear mongering in this case is probably justified. Speaking of fear, a robotics company called Satyress has announced a new robot that looks like a giant metallic praying mantis with the head of a goat. It is ostensibly intended for jobs too dangerous for humans, like search and rescue missions after a natural disaster. However, it looks like Baphomet with an extra set of legs. That begs the question: What in the world were the designers thinking? We also discuss the invasion of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by 60,000 military age men from Morocco. This is a very bad look for the pro-immigration leaders of the European Union and progressive Democrats here in the United States. Video from Ceuta showing young Moroccan men looting stores, breaking into homes, and attacking Spanish citizens is like something from a horror film. Also: Mayor Mamdani promises his city-run grocery stores will sell groceries at 30% below average cost elsewhere. That math don't math.

In this inspiring episode of The Man Up Show, Nikita Koloff sits down with Ryan Rogers, who shares his powerful testimony of overcoming alcohol addiction, finding lasting freedom through his faith in Jesus Christ, and discovering God's greater purpose for his life. Ryan opens up about the struggles that shaped his journey, the conviction that led him to sobriety, and the life-changing influence of his wife, Tara. Together, they followed God's call to serve vulnerable children in Uganda by founding 91Four, a nonprofit ministry inspired by Psalm 91:4. What began as a mission to help just 23 girls escape the dangers of Kampala's slums has grown into a thriving Christ-centered ministry serving hundreds of children through education, housing, discipleship, and vocational training. Join Nikita and Ryan for an honest conversation about redemption, obedience, and how God can transform brokenness into a mission that changes lives around the world.

For every dollar the world invests in protecting nature, it spends thirty dollars destroying it. In this episode of the Climate Correction Podcast, host Shannon Maganiezin sits down with two of the authors behind the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) State of Finance for Nature 2026 report to unpack what that staggering imbalance means for biodiversity, climate resilience, economic stability, and the future of finance itself. The numbers are sobering: in 2023 alone, roughly $7.3 trillion flowed into nature-negative activities, while just $220 billion supported nature-based solutions.  Shannon is joined by Ivo Mulder, who leads UNEP's Climate Finance Unit and has helped unlock more than one billion dollars for sustainable agriculture, forestry, and restoration across developing countries. Ivo is one of the report creators. Ivo co-founded the Natural Capital Finance Alliance and the ENCORE tool, laying the groundwork for the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures. Also joining the conversation is Michael König-Sykorova, Senior Project Manager at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management and a leading expert in climate and nature finance data. Michael contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report and led key analytical components of the State of Finance for Nature 2026 report. He iwas lead author on this report and is also a founding member of the Climate Finance and Sustainability Centre at Makerere University in Uganda.  The conversation begins with Michael walking listeners through the scope and methodology of the report, including how the team defined and measured nature-negative finance across sectors, what qualifies as nature-based solutions finance, and how the two sides of the equation can be meaningfully compared. He shares what the data reveals about trends over time, whether progress is moving fast enough, and how the report's findings were validated through rigorous peer review.  Ivo then steps back from the numbers to explore what these findings signal about the trajectory of global finance. He examines whether nature-negative investments are starting to slow or still expanding, where the biggest synergies are emerging across the three Rio Conventions on climate, biodiversity, and land degradation, and what governments, public finance institutions, private investors, and financial institutions each need to take from this report. The discussion closes with a look at the financial instruments and emerging biodiversity finance mechanisms showing the most promise for scaling investment into nature-based solutions.  The takeaway is clear: the challenge isn't only how much we invest in protecting nature. It's where the rest of our money is going. Redirecting even a fraction of nature-negative flows could fundamentally reshape outcomes for climate, biodiversity, and global resilience.  Resources / Links:  UNEP – State of Finance for Nature 2026 (SFN 2026) and State of Finance for Nature 2023 (SFN 2023).  Interconnectivity between climate, nature & climate risk (including impacts on GDP)  IMF 2024 'Embedded in Nature'  SwissRe 2021 – The economics of climate change: No action not an option  Klusak et al, 2021 – Rising temperatures, falling ratings: the Effect of Climate Change on Sovereign Creditworthiness.

“Your balls are baked aren't they, mate”. He would not have been bornThanks Lyndon, that describes the situation. Like almost 1 in 10 modern men, my sperm weren't up to the task - at least not the old fashioned way. So IVF it was - the miracle that now feels almost commonplace. We landed on the moon and Woodstock changed music forever. But in 1969 a quieter event transformed the world. The first human embryo was fertilised “In vitro”, outside the body. Yet 10 years passed before one was inserted into a womb, and then born. 48 years ago, Louise Joy Brown was the first woman born through IVF. This year about a million babies will be born through IVF. IVF stands at the frontier of rich-privilege, a norm for the middle class in rich countries. In my home country New Zealand, the government even pays for it! Yet every week I meet women here in Northern Uganda who can't have kids, and could never afford IVF. Even the human “right” to have a kid can depend on where you are born.

What if the places we think of as empty and unmarred are anything but? What if wilderness is as much an idea as a place? A conversation with Cal Flyn, who, in her new book, travels to some of the world's most remote, awe-inspiring places to trace the changing meaning of wilderness, and to explore how one of conservation's most cherished ideals has come at a human cost.

Success isn't measured by what you build—it's measured by what you do with what God has entrusted to you.In this inspiring conversation, John Martin sits down with entrepreneur and ministry leader Ben Clark to share a story of perseverance, faith, and using business as a platform to impact lives around the world.Ben is the owner of B-Unlimited, a successful licensed collegiate apparel company, but his journey to entrepreneurship was anything but easy.Growing up, Ben struggled with dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities, and a poor self-image. School was incredibly difficult, and he often felt like the underdog. He experienced failure after failure and never imagined the path God had planned for him.Instead of allowing those struggles to define him, God used them to build resilience, character, and dependence on Him.Starting with almost nothing, Ben slowly built his business from the ground up. Every dollar he earned went back into growing the company. There were no shortcuts, no wealthy investors, and no overnight success—just years of perseverance, hard work, and trusting God through every setback.But after experiencing business success, God began stirring Ben's heart for something greater.Following a mission trip to Uganda through his church, Ben recognized that many aspiring entrepreneurs had incredible ideas but lacked mentorship and guidance. Rather than simply giving financial assistance, God inspired him to help equip business leaders with wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for success.That vision became Bold Creators.Today, Bold Creators connects experienced business leaders with entrepreneurs in Uganda, helping them build sustainable businesses, create jobs, strengthen families, and transform communities—all while sharing the hope of Jesus Christ.Throughout the conversation, Ben reminds listeners that success isn't about titles, wealth, or recognition.True success is using your gifts to serve others and saying "yes" when God opens a door.Ben encourages listeners to:Trust God through every season.Don't let failure define your future.Invest in people, not just projects.Stay grounded in God's Word.Get involved in a Christ-centered community.And never underestimate what God can do through one simple act of obedience.You don't have to be perfect for God to use you.You simply have to be willing.What is one opportunity God may be asking you to say "yes" to today?Connect with Ben Clark:

Hii leo tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Kenya, katika Kijiji cha Embulbul kilichoko Kaunti ya Kajiado, ambako Shirika lisilo la kiserikali la Tulivu Safe Haven, lililoanzishwa kwa kushirikiana na wadau wakiwemo mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa, linatekeleza hatua mbalimbali za kuwasaidia wanawake. Hii ni pamoja na kuwaokoa na kuwahifadhi manusura wa ukatili wa kijinsia kwa kuwapatia makazi salama, ushauri nasaha, msaada wa kisheria na uwezeshaji wa kiuchumi, sambamba na kuwarejesha shuleni wasichana walionusurika. Je, nini kinafanyika? Kupitia video iliyoandaliwa na Redio washirika wetu Domus, Feissal Kirwa amefuatilia simulizi za manusura na kutuandalia makala hii. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari.Maabara tembezi ya kupima virusi vya Ebola imewekwa katika mji wa mpakani wa Kasenyi ulioko kati ya Uganda na Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC ambako kuna hatari kubwa ya kushamiri kwa mlipuko wa Ebola kutokana na harakati nyingi za safari. Dkt. Olga Ntumba kutoka WHO ambayo inafadhili maabara hiyo inayotoa majibu ndani ya saa moja, amesema “virusi haviheshimu mipaka. Maabara hii ina mchango muhimu kubaini mapema wagonjwa, kuimarisha ufuatiliaji wa ugonjwa, kubadilishana taarifa na juhudi za mwitikio kwenye ukanda mzima.”Mioto ya nyika ikiendelea kutikisa maeneo ya kaskazini mwa dunia shirika la Umoja wa Matiafa la Afya duniani, WHO limekumbusha kuwa moshi utokanao na mioto hiyo ya nyika huvuka taifa, kanda na hata mabara na kuwa na madhara kwa watu hata wanaoishi mbali na moto wenyewe. Hivyo limetangaza mambo tisa ya kuzingatiwa ikiwemo kusikiliza taarifa za mamlaka kama vile viwango vya uchafuzi wa hewa, kuvaa barakoa na kusalia ndani ya nyumba na kufunga madirisha iwapo hujashauriwa kuhama.Na wiki ya kimataifa ya unyonyeshaji watoto maziwa ya mama ikianza kesho Agosti Mosi, Umoja wa Mataifa kupitia mashirika yake, lile la afya, (WHO) na la kuhudumia watoto, (UNICEF) umetaka nchi kuimarisha mifumo ya afya ili iweze kupatia akina mama na watoto wachanga msaada wa kufanikisha unyonyeshaji bora ambao ni msingi wa ukuaji bora wa mtoto na afya ya mama anayenyonyesha. Halikadhalika utekelezaji wa kanuni ya kimataifa kuhusu matangazo ya bidhaa za mbadala wa maziwa ya mama.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kyanda, karibu!

Recorded on 30 July 2026 for ICMDA Webinars.Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Prof Paul Rylance Treating a patient should not be just about the condition, but also their psychosocial and spiritual needs – Body, Mind and Spirit. All over the world healthcare systems are increasingly pressured. Attitudes of many doctors and other healthcare workers are changing, with concerns about work-life balance and burnout.In this context multi-professional team members might be less willing to “go the extra mile” in offering compassionate care, in the way Jesus demonstrated. There are many studies that show compassion benefits not just patients but also healthcare workers.Professor Rylance will be sharing thoughts about the nature of Whole Person Care, evidence for the benefits, and how it can be taught.Professor Rylance has been a Consultant in General and Renal Medicine in Wolverhampton, UK. Throughout his career he has led medical education, as Postgraduate Clinical Tutor and then Head of the Undergraduate Academy and is Honorary Professor in the University of Birmingham.He is part of the Management Team of PRIME International (Partnerships in International Medical Education), a Christan Medical Education charity, whose teaching includes Whole Person Care.His overseas experience started with a medical student elective in Liberia and more recently has taught with PRIME in the Seychelles, Uganda and Burundi, and now increasingly developing international online programmes.For more info from PRIME visit https://www.prime-international.org/home.htm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the nation's experience during COVID was quite horrendous and covering up for the Communist Chinese Wuhan lab—along with the U.S. government funding provided to it— was unacceptable. Sen Tom Cotton first raised the possibility of a lab origin. On Life, Liberty & Levin, Nicholas Wade, a former New York Times science writer who had written a long piece on the subject; as a serious writer from a liberal newspaper who was retired yet deeply concerned about the reporting, Wade's appearance on May 23, 2021, helped push the issue into the national mindset, giving him his first national platform. China has still not provided access to the relevant data. The claim that the virus jumped from bats to humans was always unconvincing. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right today and refused to answer questions before a congressional committee, citing advice from his attorneys. Sen Rand Paul denied the privilege claim, directed Fauci to answer given the existence of a broad pardon, and warned of potential action for obstructing a congressional investigation. But the situation is not clear-cut. This matter may ultimately reach the courts or Supreme Court after a contempt resolution. Afterward, the concept of reparations is preposterous and a deliberate effort by Democrats and the hardcore left to divide Americans. The Civil War ended slavery 161 years ago, that many current residents have no connection to it, and that New York fought for the Union rather than being a slave city.  It's disgusting for Zohran Mamdani, a naturalized Ugandan immigrant, to lecture Americans on our history and claim New York was “very complicit,” while ignoring Uganda's own brutal history under Idi Amin. Later, the Woke Reich isolationists celebrate the president when he scales back military action and enters into negotiations with the enemy but are either silent or lash out against MAGA conservatives who support the president's military action against Iran -- carefully avoiding criticism of the president, who is calling the shots. They do this even though it is crystal clear that negotiations are not working, that the enemy has never honored any deals during its 47-year reign of terror (including recent ceasefires and the MOU), and that the regime's Islamist ideology would, in fact, result in it using nuclear weapons against us (as the president has correctly noted repeatedly). What the Woke Reich isolationists have never explained is what their approach would have been?  Apart from slogans and name-calling, what would they have done? It seems they would have done nothing, meaning that the enemy would have finished developing nuclear weapons, and apparently, they're okay with that despite the enormous risk to our country and humanity generally. Furthermore, while most of them claim to support the president, obviously they oppose him having launched military operations against the Iranian regime. They are not supporting the president.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's Thursday, July 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iranian Muslim authorities shut down oldest Protestant church Iranian officials recently shut down the oldest Protestant church in the country. Christians have held worship services at St. Peter's Evangelical Church in Tehran for 150 years. Authorities have now seized the property and banned church gatherings there. They also ordered 28 families living on the church compound to leave. Iran has been seizing Protestant church properties for years. Mansour Khajehpour previously served as an elder at St. Peter's Church. He told Christianity Today that the church in Iran grows despite persecution. He said, “This is the dynamic reality of the church. The church will not die. The church will grow, and we are a part of that church.” In Matthew 16:18, Jesus said, “On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” United States launched strikes on Iran last night Speaking of Iran, the United States began launching strikes on Iran at 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 29th, according to the U.S. Central Command. The U.S. attacks were “a powerful response to [Tuesday's] attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.” The attacks by Iran on U.S. forces did not get past U.S. defenses. And The Western Journal reports that foreign governments are taking part in the fighting now, where they hadn't before. For the first time, the Saudi Arabian military joined with the U.S. in striking Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, reports the Associated Press. Retired Navy Vice Adm. Robert Harward, a retired SEAL and former deputy CENTCOM commander, said, “You see the Lebanese government making an agreement with Israel to undermine and try to get rid of Hezbollah.” He added, “You're seeing the pressure build on Iran on all fronts.” Ukrainian refugees have planted 160 churches across Europe Millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes since Russia invaded the country in 2022. Despite this, these refugees have planted churches across Europe.  European Christian Mission International reports displaced Ukrainians have started 160 churches in Europe in the last four years.   A report from the organization stated, “Increasingly, Ukrainian believers are refusing to see themselves only as refugees. Instead, many are embracing a different calling - missionaries sent by God into the nations of Europe.” Canadian labor board ruled in favor of COVID-shot rejecter LifeSiteNews reports that a Canadian labor board ruled in favor of a Christian man who objected to the COVID-shot mandate. The Canadian Revenue Agency suspended Steven Porter without pay after denying his religious exemption. The agency must now pay $5,000 in damages to Porter.  He wrote in his exemption request, “Christ is my supreme King and Lord and I am subject to His final authority alone in all matters of life, faith and conscience.” In Acts 5:29, the apostles said, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” Senator questions CDC's billion-dollar COVID-shot contract to Pfizer The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded $1.24 billion in COVID-shot contracts to Pfizer last month. Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin questioned this decision in a letter to Secretary of Health & Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  Johnson wrote, “The CDC's reported awarding of approximately $1.24 billion in new contracts to Pfizer for a vaccine linked to serious adverse events—including potentially the deaths of children—suggests [that the] CDC continues to fail to take its vaccine safety responsibilities seriously.” Pro-lifer Paul Vaughn got settlement over wrongful arrest Praise God! A pro-life, Christian father reached a $1 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice. The case involved his wrongful arrest under the Biden administration, reports Highlight Truth Ministries. Federal agents raided the Tennessee home of Paul Vaughn in 2022 and arrested him for his pro-life activism.  My family and I had the honor of meeting Paul Vaughn several years ago. He's an amazing Christian patriot. Steve Crampton, Senior Counsel at the Thomas More Society, said, “This settlement is not just about one family. It is a warning and a precedent. The weaponization of federal law enforcement against pro-lifers, against people of faith, against those who dare to stand for the unborn—that era is over.” Treasury has saved $99 million from going to dead recipients The U.S. Department of the Treasury implemented a new payment verification process.  The safeguard has already kept about $99 million from being sent to deceased individuals.  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, “Treasury has delivered on a key promise of President Trump's mandate to stop improper payments and fraud before money leaves the Treasury, and strengthen the integrity of the federal payment system.” 70th anniversary of America's “In God We Trust” motto Today is the 70th anniversary of when “In God We Trust” became America's motto. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the law on July 30, 1956. The resolution also required the motto to appear on all U.S. currency.   Democratic Representative Charles Bennett of Florida introduced the resolution. He said, “Nothing can be more certain than that our country was founded in a spiritual atmosphere and with a firm trust in God. ... In these days when imperialistic and materialistic communism seeks to attack and destroy freedom, we should continually look for ways to strengthen the foundations of our freedom.” Texan mother shares that her kids have contributed Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes newscast, Leticia in Blum Texas wrote, “Adam, we are so thankful for your radio newscast. It is a great encouragement to us! We listen to it on the road or when we're at home. It is great to hear stories that I know wouldn't normally make it into traditional newscasts. “The Worldview is concise and informative! Thankful for the work you are doing!  Our four children -- Fletcher (15), Halen (12), Beck (10), and Murphy (7) -- contributed some of their money to our donation.” McVeda kids' mother in Montana contemplates why sponsor this newscast And Melissa McVeda, the mother of the four kids under the age of 11 in Great Falls, Montana who have raised hundreds of dollars for The Worldview selling chocolate chip cookies, iced tea and hand crocheted puppets on their dairy farm, weighed in with her thoughts. She wrote, “Adam, there are so many ministries that I would like to donate to: earnest missionaries and people hurting from natural disasters, among others. In light of those needs, it has been difficult for me to reconcile giving to The Worldview. And I imagine I'm not alone in that. “Because of my kids' fundraiser, which naturally has come to involve the entire family, I've spent time considering if The Worldview is worth the effort and funds we're putting into it. This is the primary answer I have seen:  “I would not KNOW about many of the other needs if it weren't for The Worldview in 5 Minutes! Your newscast is a connection point -- a bridge, if you will - between Christians and people in need around the world.  “Because of this ‘bridge,' I heard about the dear brother in Uganda who lost both of his hands to his Muslim family's persecution. And God stirred me to pray for his faith not to be shaken! Because of The Worldview, I heard about the steadfast pro-life sister in Britain who recently was killed. I rejoiced to hear how God used her faithfulness and I was stirred to consider if she has family who are grieving.  “The Worldview IS an important ministry. It is connecting those who have a supply to those who have needs as 2 Corinthians 8:13-15 articulates. It is also building the Body of Christ as brothers and sisters across the world hear about each other and pray for and encourage each other as a result.  “I remember when I first heard about The Worldview in 5 Minutes back in 2018. Kevin Swanson was sharing how he had personally invested $30,000/year of his own money to fund it when it started in 2015.  He had recently reached out to this man, Adam McManus, a talk show host down in San Antonio Texas, to see if Adam would voice the newscast. Kevin, obviously, had a vision for how God would use The Worldview. “One final note. Yesterday, when my kids and I heard you cite some of the large donations coming in, where people were giving one-time donations of $500 and $1,000, I realized that those donors were not just donating for the benefit that they, themselves, receive from The Worldview. They were also donating so that someone else could have the same benefits.  I praise God for the work He's doing through this newscast.” 11 Worldview listeners gave $1,775.96 And finally, by Wednesday night at 8:00pm Central, 11 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California and Ben in Eureka, California – both of whom gave $20 as well as Carri in Oro Valley, Arizona who gave $25, and Bethany in Austin, Texas who gave $50. We're grateful to God for an anonymous donor in Oxford, New York and David in Houston, Texas – both of whom gave $100, and the McVeda Kids in Great Falls, Montana who gave another $160.96! We appreciate Steven in Ulster Park, New York and James in Lancaster, South Carolina – both of whom gave $200 as well as Leticia and her kids Fletcher, Halen, Beck, and Murphy in Blum, Texas who also gave $200. And we were touched by the generosity of Karl in Grand Rapids, Michigan who gave $700. Those 11 gifts add up to $1,775.96. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $ 81,119.96 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $42,380.04 by midnight on Friday, July 31! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by tomorrow night, Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give a seemingly impossible amount of $42,380.04 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. I see the finish line from here.  But, without God's help, we are not going to get across it! We still have matches open for the next 4 people who give a one-time gift of $500 because our friend in Naples, Florida will match your gift with another $2,000 of his own money. If those four donations come in, that would leave the difference of $38,380.  Listen. Could you be one of 38 people – just 38 -- to give a one-time gift of $1,000? Or, if that's not doable right now, would you consider a monthly pledge of $83.33? No gift is too big or too small.  We have received a $5 gift and a $2,400 gift.  If everyone does something, we can get there with the Lord's help. Just ask Him. “Lord, how has this newscast made a difference in my life?”  What is that worth to you?  We had a college student sacrificially give $500.  We've had Africans in Eswatini, who have very little funds, invest $10/month. And we've had kids raise hundreds of dollars through creative fundraisers selling cookies and hardboiled eggs and lemonade. Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.  This newscast team champions the truth and uses the Bible as our plumbline.  Don't forget: The Worldview in 5 Minutes is commercial free.

Hii leo tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Mlipuko wa sasa wa ebola ya virusi vya Bundibugyo uliotangazwa rasmi huko DRC mwezi Mei mwaka huu unazidi kuongezeka kwa kasi isiyo ya kawaida, wamesema maafisa waandamizi wa Umoja wa Mataifa wakizungumza na waandishi wa habari Karl Skau, Kaimu Mkuu wa WFP, na ndio tunakupeleka nchini humo kufuatilia juhudi za kuudhibiti.Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres amesema ni wakati wa dunia kuungana kukabiliana na biashara haramu ya usafirishaji wa watu, hususan aina mpya inayokua kwa kasi ya kulazimishwa kufanya utapeli kwa njia ya mtandao. Katika ujumbe wake wa kuadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Kupambana na Biashara Haramu ya Usafirishaji wa Watu inayoadhimishwa kila mwaka tarehe thelathini Julai, amesema wahalifu wanawavutia watu kwa ahadi za ajira nzuri, lakini baadaye wanawafanya mateka na kuwalazimisha kuendesha utapeli mtandaoni. Guterres amezitaka nchi kuridhia Mkataba wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Kupambana na Uhalifu wa Mtandao uliopitishwa mwaka 2024, kushirikiana kuvunja mitandao ya uhalifu na kuwasaidia manusura kurejea katika maisha yao ya kawaida.Nchini Ukraine, mashambulizi makubwa ya usiku yaliyojumuisha makombora na mamia ya ndege zisizo na rubani yamesababisha vifo na majeruhi katika maeneo kadhaa ya makazi, yakiwemo miji ya Kryvyi Rih, Kyiv na Lviv. Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Kuratibu Masuala ya Kibinadamu, OCHA, imesema nyumba na shule za awali zimeharibiwa huku watoto wakiwa miongoni mwa waliouawa na kujeruhiwa. Kwa upande wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto, UNICEF, limesema watoto watatu wameuawa na wengine kadhaa kujeruhiwa, huku likiendelea kutoa msaada wa dharura wa kisaikolojia na usaidizi wa kifedha kwa familia zilizoathirika.Na Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Kibinadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Volker Türk, amelaani hatua za serikali ya Uganda zinazodaiwa kuendelea kubana uhuru wa msingi na kuzima sauti za wanaokosoa serikali. Amesema tangu uchaguzi mkuu wa Januari mwaka huu, viongozi wa upinzani, wanaharakati wa haki za binadamu na waandishi wa habari wamekumbwa na vitendo vya kutoweshwa, kukamatwa kiholela na mateso. Kupitia taarifa iliyotolewa leo na ofisi ya Bwana Türk ni kwamba ofisi hiyo imepokea taarifa zinazoonesha kuongezeka kwa ushiriki wa jeshi katika kutekeleza majukumu ambayo kwa kawaida hufanywa na taasisi za kiraia. Aidha, baadhi ya vyombo vya habari vimelazimika kusitisha shughuli zake kwa muda.Katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili, na leo tunamkaribisha Ntahombaye Hussein, Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Wanahabari wa Kiswahili nchini Burundi, CHAWARUNDI. Anafafanua maana ya neno, “KUSOROZA. ”Mwenyeji wako ni Feissal Kirwa, karibu!

What if powerful women were never meant to compete with one another, but to become each other's greatest collaborators and allies?   In the first episode of Moving Forward, Melissa Harrison talks with entrepreneur, author, and speaker Liz Bohannon about faith, business, leadership, loneliness, and the power of community. Liz shares how moving to Uganda changed her view of entrepreneurship and eventually led her to build Sseko Designs and merge with Noonday Collection.   Liz also challenges the belief that two ambitious women cannot succeed together. She explains how honesty, reconciliation, and intentional relationship-building helped turn a business partnership into a meaningful friendship.   The conversation is a reminder that purpose is often built through curiosity, obedience, and the courage to take the next faithful step. It also shows why Christian women were never meant to pursue leadership, calling, or meaningful work alone.   What You'll Learn: How Liz's time in Uganda reshaped her view of business Why ambitious women should form alliances instead of fearing competition How transparency and reconciliation strengthen partnerships Why leadership often creates loneliness The difference between consuming community and co-creating it How rhythms and rituals can support deeper relationships Why peer support is essential for healthy leaders   ==================== Find out more about 4word

Heather and Jonny are barely surviving the latest heatwave in Southern Illinois. They seek comfort in some international Pride celebrations, despite the violence at the Berlin Pride March. In the back half of the show they demonstrate how pretty much all protests, legislation, and bigotry against LGBTQ+ people and concerns are motivated by patriarchy. The most toxic versions of that are finally starting to reveal themselves as incompetent and harmful for most of us. At their core, mysogyny, homophobia and transphobia all try to solve a you problem by making it about subjugating someone else. 

She built an empire supporting Uganda's youth and women entrepreneurs, and what she reveals about the system working against them will make you angry.Did you know Ugandan innovators sometimes have to fly to Zimbabwe or South Africa just to buy a certification standard... for a product THEY invented? Or that Kenya buys our raw materials, repackages them, and sells them back to us at triple the price?In this episode, Hadijah Nankanja, founder of the Community Women's Enterprise Network — pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a business from nothing in Uganda.From a 19-year-old girl with no national ID who now runs seven products and employs eight people, to a customer who flew in from Switzerland just to verify her tea was real, this conversation is full of moments that will stick with you.We talk about;✅ Why "informal" doesn't mean incapable, and the hidden cost of staying that way✅ The information gap that's silently killing brilliant ideas before they start✅ How government bodies working in silos are strangling entrepreneurs✅ Why Uganda's youth are more advanced than anyone gives them credit for✅ What it will really take to get products made by youth and women onto our shelvesThis is a conversation about dignity, trust, and what happens when you finally believe your work, and your country, is worth building on. If you care about Uganda's future, if you've ever doubted whether your idea was "big enough," or if you just want to understand what's really happening beneath the surface of our economy, you need to hear this.

STREAMING MAKING JBS, 7-27-261926 SOUTH CAROLINA OF THE LATE SENATOR L. GRAHAMThe provided text contains transcripts from the John Batchelor Show, featuring discussions on the geopolitical instability involving Iran, Ukraine, and Gaza. Experts Hussein Hakani and Bill Roggio analyze the stalled diplomacy between the United States and Iran, suggesting that behind-the-scenes negotiations likely continue despite public denials and ongoing military tensions. The dialogue explores the Caspian Sea's emergence as a potential conflict zone, particularly after a Ukrainian strike on an Iranian tanker intended to disrupt the Moscow-Tehran alliance. The participants also critique the unconventional communication styles of U.S. leadership, arguing that inconsistent messaging complicates long-term strategic goals. Finally, the discussion shifts to Gaza, where Sam Benner reports on the targeted killings of Hamas security officials and the slow implementation of international stabilization forces from Morocco and Uganda. Combined, these segments portray a fragmented global landscape where air power remains insufficient for regime change and humanitarian efforts are often compromised by local militant control.

If you're African, it means that you are very familiar with Malaria. It also means you may have started to notice some differences in your experience of the disease. For example, you may have heard people say insecticides that used to work no longer kill mosquitoes, or maybe you know someone who had to go to the hospital because the medicines they used to take did not work? How can we explain that? And if that is truly the case, is there anyone working to understand what is going on? In this second episode of The Malaria Podcast, Olivia Ndubuisi travels from New York City to Harvard University in Boston and then to Uganda to speak with the scientists racing to understand why current interventions are failing and find solutions to get ahead of what is still one of the world's oldest diseases.

When uni student Annabelle Chauncy volunteered in Uganda, in her words, she was blown away by the poverty and the lack of resources, including education, in much of rural Uganda. So she not only had a dream to try and change that, but she acted on it. At 22 years of age, Annabelle set about building a small primary school for the most disadvantaged kids in a village. But first she had to raise the funds, work out how to buy some land, how to go about building a physical structure and then of course how to staff and run a school, in a community where virtually no-one spoke English. A feat that would surely be daunting for most of us. But now 15 years after her first school opened, this accidental entrepreneur has achieved enormous success with School for Life Foundation… it has educated now thousands of children across several schools and even a boarding school, with a cohort of 40 now studying at university, and School for Life employs 250 Ugandan staff. Annabelle Chauncy is a life-changing and inspiring leader.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

fWotD Episode 3369: Nile Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 26 July 2026, is Nile.The Nile is a major north-flowing river in northeast Africa which empties into the Mediterranean Sea. At 7,088 kilometers (4,404 mi) long, it is the longest river in the world, although the volume of water it carries is much smaller than other major rivers such as the Amazon or the Congo. The Nile has played a central role in the environmental, economic, and cultural history of Africa for millennia.The Nile has two major tributaries: the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The White Nile is longer and is considered to be the headwaters, yet the Blue Nile contributes over twice the volume of the White Nile. The White Nile begins near Lake Victoria and flows through Uganda and South Sudan; while the Blue Nile begins near Lake Tana in Ethiopia and flows into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet at the Sudanese capital of Khartoum. From there, the Nile flows north through the Nubian Desert to Egypt's capital, Cairo, and finally empties into the Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria, where it has formed a large river delta.Geologically, the Nile is a young river and has followed its present course for about 15,000 years. Its drainage basin extends across eleven countries. Most of the water in the Nile comes from rainfall in the upstream countries Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Downstream countries – Egypt, Sudan, and South Sudan – are primarily desert and withdraw river water for irrigation. Other countries that lie wholly or partly in the Nile Basin are Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, and Rwanda.The Nile was the foundation of the Ancient Egyptian civilization, which relied on the river for nearly every aspect of life. The annual flooding of the river deposited nutrient-rich silt along the riverbanks. This soil supported crops that enabled a sophisticated society to thrive in an otherwise inhospitable desert. The Nile facilitated trade, communication, transportation, and governance. South (upstream) of the second Nile cataract lay Nubia, the historical home of the ancient Kerma culture and the Kushite Empire. Many Europeans were fascinated by the Nile, and their explorations around Lake Victoria in the late 19th century located the source of the river. Among the cultures that live along the Nile in the modern era are the Nilotic peoples, semi-nomadic cattle herders who practice nomadic pastoralism, moving their cattle seasonally in response to the Nile's floods. In the modern era, the Nile plays a critical role in the economies of Egypt and Sudan, which rely on it to irrigate extensive croplands. Since the late 20th century, over a dozen dams have been built in the Nile Basin to provide for irrigation and to generate electricity. The dams have altered the river's annual flood cycle and restricted the transport of silt downstream, causing the Nile Delta to shrink. Some dams – such as the Aswan High Dam and Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam – have been the source of international political disputes about water scarcity, safety, food security, and forced displacement of peoples.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:02 UTC on Sunday, 26 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Nile on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Danielle.

When it comes to conservation, adorable and majestic animals often attract the most concern for their plight. It's not so easy to get the public's attention when it comes to animals that are perceived as weird or creepy or downright unpleasant. The vulture, traditionally associated with death and carrion, falls into this unlucky group. Globally, around 70% of vultures are now under threat of extinction and Nigeria's vultures are no exception. BBC West Africa journalist Makuochi Okafor has been investigating this story.  In Vietnam, The Last Empress, a new film inspired by the life of the final empress of the Nguyen Dynasty, appears to be provoking a strong reaction. Nam Phuong is a well-known historical figure in Vietnam, who along with her husband, Bao Dai, she was also seen as a puppet of the French colonial regime. Since the release of the trailer for The Last Empress, this long debate in Vietnam has bubbled back to life. Duc Ha from the BBC's Bangkok bureau has been exploring the human story behind all the politics and controversy. In a private party in a Russian town, Katya was about to blow out the candles on her 30th birthday cake when masked men burst into the nightclub that she had hired and began physically and verbally attacking her friends. The swoop was instigated by a vigilante group who want to accelerate President Vladimir Putin's promotion of what he sees as traditional Russian family values. As is sometimes the case in these raids, members of the town's police also joined them, shutting down the party and interrogating the guests. Amalia Zatari of BBC Russian has been looking into this vigilante group. The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts.

Called to Be a Witness | Every Believer's Mission to Share the GospelWhat if sharing your faith wasn't reserved for pastors, evangelists, or missionaries—but was the calling of every believer?In this powerful message, Pastor Jonathan Morgan reminds us that Jesus has called every Christian to be His witness. Drawing from Mark 16, Acts 1, and Acts 8, he challenges the Church to move beyond simply inviting people to church and instead partner with the Holy Spirit to personally lead people to Christ. Beginning with a moving reflection on the tangible presence of God during worship and testimonies from recent mission trips to Colombia, Uganda, Zambia, Mexico, and the United Kingdom, this message builds toward a simple but urgent challenge:This week, share the gospel with someone.In this message you'll discover:* Why every believer has been called to be a witness* The true purpose of the baptism and power of the Holy Spirit* The "ministry of the believer" found in Mark 16* Why your neighborhood is your mission field* How the early Church spread the gospel through ordinary Christians* A simple, practical way to begin sharing your testimony* How personal evangelism can transform families, communities, and nationsKey Scriptures:* Mark 16:15–18* Acts 1:8* Acts 2:17* Acts 8:1–4* Acts 17:26The gospel was never intended to stay within the walls of the church. God has placed you exactly where you are, in this generation, for a purpose. Whether at work, school, your neighborhood, or the grocery store, you have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to testify about what Jesus has done in your life.If this message encouraged you, let us know in the comments:Who are you praying for and believing to share Jesus with this week? Sundays at 8:30 & 10:30 AMWe are branded by the fire of God. We carry the fire of God to ignite our generation to burn for Jesus. Find us:www.fuquayrevival.comwww.facebook.com/cornerstonefuquayig: @cornerstonechurch.fv

Deborah Roberts joins us on ABQ Connect with an exciting update from her recent missionary journey to Jinja, Uganda, through Called Christians. Deborah shares how God is moving in the lives of believers and communities they serve, along with stories of faith, outreach, and transformation from the mission field. She also asks listeners to pray for the ministry’s next outreach as 12 new student missionaries prepare to answer God’s call and serve overseas. It’s an encouraging look at how lives are being changed through the Gospel both in Uganda and around the world. The post Deborah Roberts appeared first on ABQ Connect.

Mikkel Thorup of Expat Money discusses the “sea change” in Latin America, where countries like Colombia and Paraguay are moving toward right-leaning pro-business policies and improved security to counter socialist failures. In contrast, the conversation expresses deep concern over the decline of and flight from Western nations like Canada and the EU, citing high taxes, government hostility, and looming military conscription as primary drivers for emigration. Thorup emphasizes the importance of a Plan B, advising individuals to secure offshore bank accounts, foreign residencies, and tangible assets to protect their freedom and wealth. Ultimately, the talk serves as a guide for navigating a world increasingly defined by technocratic surveillance and economic instability through strategic global relocation.

Special Tisha Ba'av Episode with an all new introduction.  The 1903 Kishinev Pogrom was a tragic massacre, with reverberations within the wider Jewish world remaining until this very day. Goaded on by antisemitic newspapers with cries of 'Death to the Jews', a blood libel was fabricated and a mob was unleashed on Easter Sunday, April 19, 1903. Leaving 49 killed, hundreds maimed and injured in its wake, Jewish property was destroyed and looted as well. Claims of complicity of the police and government were voiced in many quarters. But it was primarily the after effects of this pogrom which had a long term transformative effect on Jewish society in Russia and worldwide. The great immigration to the United States was already long underway, but it significantly intensified in the years following Kishinev and the subsequent 1905 revolution. American Jewry was galvanized to assist the victims, and this cemented the relationship US Jewry was to have with their brethren back in Eastern Europe. Within Russia, many of the Jewish youth became radicalized as a result of the massacre, joining clandestine revolutionary organizations with the goal of overthrowing the Czar. The most profound impact was felt within the nascent Zionist movement. Chaim Nachman Bialik was dispatched by the historian Shimon Dubnow to gather testimonies from survivors. Following his five week stay in Kishinev, Bialik penned 'Be'ir Hahareiga' - In the City of Death, a poem about the pogrom. Powerfully written, it also included strongly worded accusations in regards to the perceived passivity of the victims. The poem and its message was to have an immense impact, as it was published and translated and became immensely popular. Vladimir Jabotinsky's conclusion was to organize Jewish self defense, and Theodore Herzl's conclusion was the Uganda proposal at the Sixth Zionist Congress. The shadow of the Kishinev tragedy was to hover over the many subsequent, and ever greater tragedies of the bloody 20th century.

He played in the big leagues, wore the Red Sox jersey, and had 14 surgeries trying to keep a dream alive. Then the career ended. And in the silence that followed, Ryan Kalish almost didn't make it through.  Ryan is not the kind of guest I typically have on this show. He doesn't have a bestselling book or a company that just crossed a hundred million. What he has is a story that stopped me cold on Instagram months ago. I was scrolling and I saw this guy on a street somewhere in the world, walking up to a man who was homeless, and he bathed him and gave him a haircut and got him some food. I thought: who is that? I looked him up. And I thought, "I have to have him on. "Ryan brings something to this conversation that is rare: the honesty of a man who was at rock bottom and didn't dress it up. He talks about the dark thoughts after his career ended, the substances he used to self-soothe, the spiritual calling that kept finding him even when he ran from it, and the moment sitting by a river in Austin, Texas, where it all clicked. He has now served orphans, refugees, and vulnerable people across Indonesia, Thailand, Uganda, India, Jordan, Tanzania, Egypt, and more, largely on his own dime. His 70-year-old father is his cameraman. I ask Ryan questions I think most people are afraid to ask: what does it actually feel like to do this? Is it lonely? Is it worth it? What did you have to let go of to get here? And I push Ryan on whether the hit he gets from feeding someone who's starving compares to circling the bases after a home run. His answer stops the conversation.    Here's what you'll gain from this episode: What to do When You're Feeling Helpless: The reframe that unlocks everything for anyone sitting in a hard season wondering what to do next. Your Old Identity Has to Die: What Ryan had to pluck out of himself to make room for who he was becoming, and why the most painful part of reinvention is also the most necessary. You Don't Have to Be Qualified: Why the people least likely to think they can make a difference are exactly the ones who should Collective Consciousness: Learn about the only thing that will actually change the world at scale.   This is an episode you will share with everyone you know!
