In this episode, Bryan and Layne explore how the Bible teaches direct access to God through Jesus, not through prophets or religious institutions, using the torn temple veil as the key turning point. Drawing from Layne's journey out of Mormonism, they explain why trusting the Holy Spirit over human authority leads to true freedom.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now--Torn Veil, Open Access Layne (a former Mormon of 40 years) and Bryan talk about what access to God looks like in Mormonism compared to biblical Christianity. The big contrast: Mormonism tends to route access through an institution and its leaders, while the Bible teaches direct access to God through Jesus, guided by the Holy Spirit.They anchor the whole conversation in a key moment from the crucifixion: when Jesus died, the temple veil was torn from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51). That wasn't just a detail in the story—it was God's way of saying, “The separation is gone. The way is open.”What This Episode CoversAccess to God: simple vs. structuredLayne describes growing up Mormon with a built-in ladder of authority—bishop, stake president, prophet—where “hearing from God” felt filtered through leadership. Bryan points out that the idea of having a personal relationship with Jesus often feels like “Christian language,” not the normal relational emphasis inside Mormon culture.Why the torn veil changes everythingIn the Old Testament temple system, the veil represented a barrier between people and God's presence. Only the high priest could pass through, and only once a year, with a sacrifice.But when Jesus died, God tore the veil Himself—from top to bottom—showing that man didn't open the way; God did. The cross didn't just pay for sin. It also removed the whole structure of “you need someone else to get you to God.”Prophets then vs. the Holy Spirit nowThey walk through the New Testament idea that God used prophets “in times past,” but something changes after Jesus (Hebrews 1:1–2). Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would guide believers into truth (John 16:13). Layne puts it plainly: dependence on a prophet is replaced by direct access through Jesus and the indwelling Spirit.Why people prefer a prophet anywayEven if it's not biblical, a prophet can feel comforting because he's visible, official, and “safe.” Bryan compares it to legalism: rules feel helpful because they're clear and controllable—but clarity isn't the same thing as truth. Layne agrees: when a system is built on control, it can't survive if people learn they can truly hear and trust God directly.“What about chaos?” Pastors vs. prophetsThey address a common objection: If you don't have a prophet, won't everything fall apart? Their answer: biblical Christianity still values church, leadership, and community—but a pastor isn't a prophet, and no leader gets to trump Scripture. The moment any person

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Unveiling Secrets: A Historic Discovery at Matthias Church Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-01-05-08-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A templom harangjai halkan kondultak meg, ahogy a téli hó lassan beterítette Buda várnegyedét.En: The bells of the church tolled softly as the winter snow slowly covered Buda's castle district.Hu: A Mátyás-templom, Budapest egyik ékköve, ünnepi díszben várta január hatodikát, Vízkereszt ünnepét.En: The Matthias Church, one of Budapest's jewels, awaited January sixth, the celebration of Epiphany, in festive decor.Hu: Belső tere csodás gótikus díszítései és színes csempéi közt rejtett titkok lapultak, ahogyan Zoltán is sejtette.En: Among its marvelous Gothic decorations and colorful tiles, hidden secrets lay, as Zoltán suspected.Hu: Aznap reggel furcsa dolgot talált a kórusnál.En: That morning, he found something strange near the choir.Hu: Egy régi énekeskönyv lapjai közül kicsúszott egy sárgult papírdarab.En: A yellowed piece of paper slipped out from the pages of an old songbook.Hu: A kézírás már-már olvashatatlanná fakult, de az üzenet titokzatossága megfogta Zoltánt.En: The handwriting had nearly faded to illegibility, but the mysteriousness of the message intrigued Zoltán.Hu: Zoltán lelkes történész és szenvedélyes templomlátogató volt.En: Zoltán was an enthusiastic historian and passionate church visitor.Hu: Gyakran mesélt barátainak a templom körüli legendákról, de Eszter, a gondos restaurátor, mindig szkeptikusan hallgatta.En: He often told his friends about the legends surrounding the church, but Eszter, the meticulous restorer, always listened skeptically.Hu: "Csak valaki vicce lehet" - mondta, amikor Zoltán megmutatta neki a cetlit.En: "It must be someone's prank," she said when Zoltán showed her the note.Hu: Mégis, Zoltán belül érezte, hogy valami fontosat talált.En: Still, Zoltán felt inside that he had found something important.Hu: Tudta, hogy Gábor, a fiatal történész is kutatja a templom titkait, és talán ez a cetli lehet a kulcs a disszertációjához.En: He knew that Gábor, the young historian, was also researching the church's secrets, and perhaps this note could be the key to his dissertation.Hu: A templomban zajló ünnepi előkészületek miatt korlátozottan fértek hozzá a terekezékhez, de Zoltán nem adta fel.En: Due to the festive preparations taking place in the church, their access to the area was limited, but Zoltán did not give up.Hu: "Ne aggódj, Eszter, ha megtaláljuk, biztosan meg fogsz lepődni" - mosolygott rá biztatóan.En: "Don't worry, Eszter, if we find it, you'll surely be surprised," he encouraged her with a smile.Hu: Gábort is bevonta kutatásába.En: He also involved Gábor in his research.Hu: Aznap este, amikor a templomajtók bezárultak az utolsó látogató után, Zoltán és Gábor csendesen visszatértek.En: That evening, when the church doors closed behind the last visitor, Zoltán and Gábor quietly returned.Hu: A papír rejtett utalásai vezették őket a sekrestye egyik eldugott sarkába.En: The hidden clues in the paper led them to a secluded corner of the sacristy.Hu: A fali tábla mögött rejtőzött egy kis rekesz.En: Behind a wall panel hid a small compartment.Hu: Zoltán izgalommal teli szívvel nyitotta ki.En: With a heart full of excitement, Zoltán opened it.Hu: Ami bent lapult, nem volt kincs, de mégis felbecsülhetetlen értékű kincs volt: egy régi kehely, egy ködbe vesző időből.En: What lay inside was not treasure in the usual sense, but it was of priceless value: an old chalice from a bygone era.Hu: "Ez egy Mátyás-kori királyi relikvia!" - kiáltott fel Gábor.En: "It's a royal relic from the time of Matthias!" exclaimed Gábor.Hu: Mindketten tudták, hogy jelentős történelmi felfedezést tettek.En: Both knew they had made a significant historical discovery.Hu: Másnap Eszter is meglátogatta őket, már nem szkeptikus, hanem kíváncsian.En: The next day, Eszter visited them as well, no longer skeptical but curious.Hu: "Igazad volt, Zoltán. Tévedtem" - ismerte el.En: "You were right, Zoltán. I was wrong," she admitted.Hu: Együtt dokumentálták a felfedezést, és elhatározták, hogy még több régi történetet fognak felkutatni.En: Together, they documented the discovery and resolved to uncover even more ancient stories.Hu: A kehely nem hozott aranyat vagy ezüstöt, de feltárta a múlt egy rég elfeledett darabját.En: The chalice brought no gold or silver, but it did reveal a long-forgotten piece of the past.Hu: Zoltán büszkén és megújult hittel nézte a város felett a holdfényben fürdő templomot.En: Zoltán looked at the moonlit church over the city with pride and renewed faith.Hu: Tudta, hogy a történetek, amelyeket mesél, nemcsak legendák.En: He knew that the stories he told were not just legends.Hu: És Eszter is megtanulta, hogy minden mesében van egy szikrányi igazság, amit érdemes keresni.En: And Eszter learned that in every tale, there is a kernel of truth worth seeking.Hu: A Vízkereszt nemcsak a bölcsek látogatását hozta el, hanem új reményt és barátságokat is a Mátyás-templom árnyai közé.En: The Epiphany brought not only the visit of the wise men but also new hope and friendships within the shadows of the Matthias Church.

I got the qilo prison wallet which is Velcro backed so crossbreed has holsters that work but not crazy about it. Switch to a blapha or are Velcro backed holsters acceptable? Adam W - I am looking for a red dot that can stand up to a .357 magnum Chippa Rhino. I have put 2 other dots on it I had laying around and now I just want one I don't have worry about. I was thinking the Judge XL from Gideon. Would this be a good choice? The use case for this gun is local matches and range toy. Also, I am looking for a holster for this setup. The Chippa Rhino is the 60ds model with the pic rail in front of the cylinder. Your help is much appreciated. Scanks Adam Luis G - I am in Florida and do a lot of lake bank fishing. What would be a good caliber to carry and what type of rounds to use against alligators? Should I run a couple of snake shot rounds first for moccasins then the gator rounds? Jack B - Matt diniman just did a kickstarter campaign where 2 of the reward tiers included getting killed in a future DCC book. If you were get this prize for another cast member, which option would you choose and how would they die? Option, They are a crawler who gets killed. Option 2, They are a monster or NPC that gets killed by Donut and T-bagged by mongo. Ny(e)gerski - "This one is mostly for Mr. Saggins. Scroto, what are you signed up to hunt this year? I feel like we haven't had any 47 minute long hunting stories in a while and are due for one or 2. P.S.....are you sure you and Kevin from Q aren't kindred spirits?.....I can't tell who tells longer hunting stories... Pee Pee S.....i had something for here, but forgot....and now got you to say pee pee...." Eli K - I am building a new house soon. It will have a vault room in the basement. The floor, ceiling, and all four walls will be poured concrete. Other than that, I'm leaving it unfinished after framing and insulation, and I will take it form there. It will have HVAC and electrical available. What else should I do? Seems like a good idea to put a drain in. I'm tentatively planning to do Lockdown walls. Anything other suggestions? Jerry F - Do either of you guys have any idea where i can find Accurate Nitro 100NF for sale? I've been checking all of the reputable dealers online (Brownells, Midway usa, ammoseek etc) and I haven't been able to find any 4 or 8lb bottles all summer. I shoot trap every weekend with my dad and our local league just started and I commonly go through a hundred plus rounds each weekend. I believe accurate is a division of Hodgdens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And in your opinions where is all the powder going? Love the show, thank you. Jeremy is not a cunt, he just doesn't have any patience for stupidity. John J - I've recently realized I'm a fan of both Jeremy and Aaron. Which probably means I'm either deeply complex, or there's something wrong with me. Thoughts? Also, would love to see some more Dangerous Freedom videos. I am looking forward to the red dot - magnifier comparison. One of my AR's has a CompM5 with a 3x magnifier. I want to love it for what the combo cost, but I find myself removing the magnifier more often than not. Thanks for the show.   The winner of this week's swag pack is John J!

One on One Video Call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingSupport the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USTitle: Unveiling the Hidden Frequencies: How Infrasound Shapes Our LivesIntroduction: Have you ever felt an unexplained sense of dread or anxiety in certain environments? According to a recent episode of the True Life Podcast, these feelings may be influenced by infrasound, a frequency below human hearing that significantly impacts our bodies and emotions. In this blog post, we will explore the fascinating world of infrasound, its historical significance, and its modern implications.Understanding Infrasound: Infrasound refers to sound waves that are below the frequency of 20 Hertz, which are inaudible to the human ear but can still have profound effects on our bodies. The podcast host, George, invites listeners to pause and feel their heartbeats, revealing that what we perceive as our heartbeat is intertwined with infrasound vibrations echoing throughout our bodies. This frequency has been weaponized throughout history, from ancient civilizations to modern technology.Historical Context: George highlights the ancient Mayans, who ingeniously utilized infrasound in the design of their pyramids at Chichen Itza. The low claps created resonant echoes that could evoke feelings of trance or terror during sacred rituals. This historical context shows that the manipulation of sound has long been a tool for influencing human behavior and perception.Modern Manipulation: Fast forward to the present, and the implications of infrasound are pervasive. George discusses how theme parks like Disney incorporate low-frequency sounds into roller coasters to enhance the thrill experience. Similarly, military operations have used infrasound to disrupt morale among troops, demonstrating the power of sound as a psychological weapon.The Role of Technology: Today, technology continues to exploit infrasound. George mentions the deployment of 5G towers, which emit sub-audible frequencies that can lead to increased anxiety in populated areas. Furthermore, he reveals a leaked DARPA document suggesting that infrasound could be used to instill social harmony by dulling aggressive behavior during riots. This shows a disturbing trend of using sound as a means of control.Practical Implications: So, what can we do to reclaim our senses from these hidden frequencies? George suggests listeners take proactive steps to engage with their own vibrational energy. He encourages trying a free 10 Hertz tone app to experience the power of infrasound firsthand. By tuning into these frequencies, individuals can foster a sense of awakening and empowerment, pushing back against the unseen forces that seek to influence their emotions.Conclusion: The exploration of infrasound reveals a hidden layer of reality that many of us are oblivious to. From historical rituals to modern technology, the impact of these low-frequency waves is undeniable. As we become more aware of the forces shaping our emotions and behaviors, we can take control of our experiences and reclaim our vibrational sovereignty. Remember, true awakening doesn't whisper; it quakes.Key Takeaways:  1. Infrasound affects our emotions and physical sensations despite being inaudible.  2. Historical use of infrasound, as seen in ancient Mayan architecture, illustrates its long-standing influence on human behavior.  3. Modern technology, including 5G, utilizes infrasound for psychological effects, often without public knowledge.  4.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Unveiling Tbiliszi's Hidden Paths: A Historian's Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-12-28-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A téli Tbiliszi utcáin sűrű pelyhekben hullott a hó.En: In the winter streets of Tbiliszi, snow fell in thick flakes.Hu: A fővárost ünnepi fények díszítették, a levegőben ünnepi izgalom vibrált.En: The capital was adorned with festive lights, and festive excitement vibrated in the air.Hu: István, a kíváncsi magyar történész, éppen a város híres fürdőjébe tartott, ahol egy rejtélyes térképet fedezett fel.En: István, the curious Hungarian historian, was on his way to the city's famous bathhouse, where he had discovered a mysterious map.Hu: Szíve hevesen vert, ahogy a homályos látomás emléke kísértette: talán ez a papirusz lehet a kulcs a selyemút egy elfeledett ágához, ami Magyarországra vezetett.En: His heart beat fast as the memory of a blurred vision haunted him: perhaps this papyrus could be the key to a forgotten branch of the Silk Road that led to Magyarország.Hu: Az ősi fürdőház épülete régi kövekkel és gőzölgő termálvízzel volt tele.En: The ancient bathhouse building was filled with old stones and steaming thermal water.Hu: A falak visszhangozták a vízcseppek halk csobbanását.En: The walls echoed the soft splashes of water droplets.Hu: Itt talált rá István a titokzatos térképre, véletlenül a törött vakolat mögött.En: Here, István stumbled upon the mysterious map, accidentally behind a broken plaster.Hu: Azonban a térkép hiányos volt, és egy ismeretlen ősi nyelven íródott.En: However, the map was incomplete and written in an unknown ancient language.Hu: István láncos karkötője halk csörgése visszhangzott a fürdő csendes folyosóin.En: István's chain bracelet softly jingled as it echoed down the quiet corridors of the bathhouse.Hu: Tudta, hogy nincs sok ideje.En: He knew he didn't have much time.Hu: Az épület hamarosan zárva tart majd a felújítás miatt.En: The building would soon close for renovations.Hu: Kétségbeesetten eldöntötte, hogy segítséget kér.En: Desperately, he decided to ask for help.Hu: Így találkozott Katalinnal, egy helyi történész-lányval, aki jártas volt a régmúlttal.En: That's how he met Katalin, a local historian girl knowledgeable about the ancient past.Hu: Katalin lehengerlően okos volt, haját lazán hátrakötötte, miközben a térképet tanulmányozta.En: Katalin was dazzlingly smart, her hair loosely tied back as she studied the map.Hu: Kettőjük között az idő szinte megállt, ahogy Katalin a térkép rejtélyes jeleit kezdte érteni.En: Time seemed to almost stand still between them as Katalin began to understand the mysterious symbols on the map.Hu: János, a fürdőház gondnokja, barátságosan hívta őket egy pohár meleg teára, de tudta, hogy a munka sürgető.En: János, the caretaker of the bathhouse, warmly invited them for a cup of hot tea, but he knew the work was urgent.Hu: Ahogy az év utolsó napja közeledett, István és Katalin egyre közelebb kerültek a térkép titkához.En: As the last day of the year approached, István and Katalin got closer to uncovering the map's secret.Hu: Számukra a térkép nem csupán vonalak és pontok kusza hálója volt; a múltnak egy emléke, amely összekapcsolta a történelmi kereskedelmi utakat és embereket.En: For them, the map was not just a tangled web of lines and dots; it was a memory of the past, linking historical trade routes and people.Hu: Szilveszter estéjén Tbiliszi még ragyogóbbá válik.En: On New Year's Eve, Tbiliszi became even more radiant.Hu: Az óriási várakozás a városon átívelt.En: The anticipation spread over the city.Hu: A fürdő mélyére merülve István és Katalin végül egy titkos kamrát fedeztek fel.En: Diving into the depths of the bathhouse, István and Katalin finally discovered a secret chamber.Hu: A falak régi emlékeket őriztek.En: The walls preserved old memories.Hu: A kapott bizonyítékok egyértelműen jelezték a kereskedelmi kapcsolatok útvonalait.En: The evidence they found clearly indicated the routes of commercial connections.Hu: Pontban éjfélkor Tbiliszi kis utcáit az ünneplés és öröm zaja töltötte be.En: At exactly midnight, the small streets of Tbiliszi were filled with the sounds of celebration and joy.Hu: István boldogan emelte poharát új barátainak, miközben a tűzijáték vibráló színei tükröződtek arcán.En: István happily raised a glass to his new friends, while the vibrant colors of the fireworks reflected on his face.Hu: Tudta, hogy felfedezése több volt, mint amit remélt.En: He knew that his discovery was more than he had hoped for.Hu: A térkép felfedezése lehetőséget adott neki arra, hogy jobban megértse a kultúrák közös történetét és azt, hogy az együttműködés milyen hatalmas erőt képviselhet.En: The discovery of the map gave him the opportunity to better understand the shared history of cultures and the immense power that collaboration can represent.Hu: A szilveszteri éjszaka varázslatos emlékként maradt meg, és István érezte, hogy az új év tele lesz új rejtélyekkel és lehetőségekkel.En: The New Year's Eve remained a magical memory, and István felt that the new year would be full of new mysteries and opportunities.Hu: Számára Katalin és János a barátság és együttműködés jelképeivé váltak ezen az örömteli éjszakán.En: For him, Katalin and János became symbols of friendship and cooperation on this joyful night.

Story Transcript:Nl: De eerste sneeuwvlokken vielen zachtjes uit de hemel, als kleine sterren die langzaam hun weg vonden naar de besneeuwde heuvel waar de oude ruïnes lagen.En: The first snowflakes fell gently from the sky, like little stars slowly finding their way to the snow-covered hill where the old ruins lay.Nl: Sanne keek naar boven en voelde een opwindende tinteling door haar lijf gaan.En: Sanne looked up and felt an exciting tingle run through her body.Nl: Dit was de dag.En: This was the day.Nl: Samen met haar assistent, Bram, en de lokale historica Maartje, zou ze de geheimen van de ruïnes onthullen.En: Together with her assistant, Bram, and the local historian Maartje, she would uncover the secrets of the ruins.Nl: "Ik denk dat we moeten wachten tot de storm voorbij is," zei Bram voorzichtig terwijl hij de lucht bestudeerde.En: "I think we should wait until the storm passes," Bram said cautiously as he studied the sky.Nl: Zijn bezorgdheid was voelbaar, zelfs onder zijn warme muts.En: His concern was palpable, even under his warm hat.Nl: Sanne zuchtte.En: Sanne sighed.Nl: Ze was niet geneigd om te wachten.En: She was not inclined to wait.Nl: De ruïnes waren oud, en haar tijd was beperkt.En: The ruins were old, and her time was limited.Nl: "De storm kan nog uren duren," zei ze vastberaden.En: "The storm could last for hours," she said resolutely.Nl: "En we zijn hier nu al zo dichtbij."En: "And we're already so close."Nl: Maartje keek zenuwachtig rond.En: Maartje looked around nervously.Nl: Ze kende de verhalen over de ruïnes beter dan wie dan ook.En: She knew the stories about the ruins better than anyone.Nl: Maar ze had haar twijfels of deze verhalen de werkelijkheid weerspiegelden.En: But she had her doubts about whether these stories reflected reality.Nl: "De oude mythen kunnen ons niet alles vertellen," waarschuwde ze.En: "The old myths can't tell us everything," she warned.Nl: "We moeten voorzichtig zijn."En: "We need to be careful."Nl: "Wat als we samen naar de ingang zoeken?"En: "What if we search for the entrance together?"Nl: stelde Sanne voor.En: Sanne suggested.Nl: "We volgen jouw kennis, Maartje.En: "We'll follow your knowledge, Maartje.Nl: Maar we zetten door tot we iets vinden, voordat de storm te sterk wordt."En: But we'll press on until we find something, before the storm becomes too strong."Nl: Na een moment van twijfel stemde Maartje in.En: After a moment of hesitation, Maartje agreed.Nl: Ze knikte langzaam.En: She nodded slowly.Nl: "Heel goed," zei ze.En: "Very well," she said.Nl: "Maar als het te gevaarlijk wordt, keren we terug."En: "But if it gets too dangerous, we'll turn back."Nl: De drie zetten hun tocht voort, omhoog de heuvel op naar de ruïnes.En: The three of them continued their journey, up the hill to the ruins.Nl: De sneeuw knisperde onder hun voeten en een ijzige wind sneed door hun dikke jassen.En: The snow crunched under their feet and an icy wind cut through their thick coats.Nl: Maar Sanne voelde de spanning van het avontuur door haar aderen stromen.En: But Sanne felt the thrill of the adventure coursing through her veins.Nl: Bram hield dichterbij, zijn ogen voortdurend alert voor gevaar.En: Bram stayed closer, his eyes constantly alert for danger.Nl: Plotseling stopte Maartje.En: Suddenly, Maartje stopped.Nl: "Daar," wees ze.En: "There," she pointed.Nl: Tussen de druk van de vallende sneeuw waren vage contouren zichtbaar.En: Amidst the pressure of the falling snow, vague contours were visible.Nl: Een gebroken boog, verborgen onder een dikke laag ijs en sneeuw.En: A broken archway, hidden beneath a thick layer of ice and snow.Nl: Sanne voelde haar hart versnellen.En: Sanne felt her heart race.Nl: Ze groeven voorzichtig in de sneeuw.En: They carefully dug into the snow.Nl: Onder de boog zagen ze een donkere opening verschijnen.En: Under the archway, they saw a dark opening appear.Nl: Een grot of een doorgang die diep naar beneden leidde.En: A cave or passage leading deep down.Nl: Het was precies zoals in de oude verhalen.En: It was just like the old stories.Nl: "Dit is het," fluisterde Sanne vol ontzag.En: "This is it," Sanne whispered in awe.Nl: Ze keken elkaar aan, de zware stilte verbrekend door het huilen van de storm die inmiddels woest om hen heen loeide.En: They looked at each other, the heavy silence broken by the howl of the storm now raging around them.Nl: "Dit is maar het begin," merkte Bram op terwijl hij zijn positie voor veiligheid checkte.En: "This is just the beginning," Bram noted as he checked his position for safety.Nl: "We moeten ons voorbereiden op wat we hierna doen."En: "We need to prepare for what we do next."Nl: Met het opzetten van een tweekamp begonnen ze enkele kleinere artefacten te verzamelen.En: Setting up a small camp, they began collecting some smaller artifacts.Nl: Fragmenten van aardewerk en fragmenten van oude gereedschappen.En: Pottery fragments and pieces of old tools.Nl: Het waren misschien geen schatkamers van goud, maar ze hintten naar iets groters, iets dat verborgen lag in het verleden.En: They might not be treasure troves of gold, but they hinted at something greater, something hidden in the past.Nl: De storm begon hen echter genadeloos terug te drijven.En: However, the storm began to mercilessly drive them back.Nl: De sneeuw werd heftig en dichte mist ontnam hen het zicht.En: The snow became heavy and thick fog deprived them of visibility.Nl: "We moeten terugkeren," riep Maartje al wijzend.En: "We have to go back," Maartje shouted, gesturing.Nl: "Het is te gevaarlijk!"En: "It's too dangerous!"Nl: Sanne knikte, gevulde met een diepere waardering voor de kracht van de natuur en de wijsheid van local lore.En: Sanne nodded, filled with a deeper appreciation for the power of nature and the wisdom of local lore.Nl: Ze verzamelden hun vondsten en keerden terug naar de veiligheid van hun kamp, met de belofte van verhalen en moed om het opnieuw te proberen.En: They gathered their findings and returned to the safety of their camp, with the promise of stories and courage to try again.Nl: Toen ze terug in hun warme schuilplaats waren, keken ze terug naar de heuvel, de ruïnes nog steeds grotendeels verborgen, maar nu met de belofte van meer.En: Back in their warm shelter, they looked back at the hill, the ruins still largely hidden, but now with the promise of more.Nl: Sanne glimlachte naar Maartje.En: Sanne smiled at Maartje.Nl: "Je had gelijk.En: "You were right.Nl: Soms moet je geduld hebben en vertrouwen in wat je eerst niet ziet."En: Sometimes you need patience and to trust in what you can't see at first."Nl: Ze warmden zich op met een kop warme chocolademelk, de zoete smaak meng zich met de opwinding van hun ontdekking.En: They warmed up with a cup of hot chocolate, the sweet taste mixing with the excitement of their discovery.Nl: De storm zou gaan liggen, de ruïnes zouden blijven en het kerstseizoen werd gevuld met hoop en wonder.En: The storm would calm, the ruins would remain, and the holiday season was filled with hope and wonder.

Increasingly, people travel and communicate across borders. Yet, we still know little about the overall structure of this transnational world. Is it really a fully globalized world in which everything is linked, as popular catchphrases like “global village” suggest? Through a sweeping comparative analysis of eight types of mobility and communication among countries worldwide—from migration and tourism to Facebook friendships and phone calls—Mapping the Transnational World demonstrates that our behavior is actually regionalized, not globalized.Emanuel Deutschmann shows that transnational activity within world regions is not so much the outcome of political, cultural, or economic factors, but is driven primarily by geographic distance. He explains that the spatial structure of transnational human activity follows a simple mathematical function, the power law, a pattern that also fits the movements of many other animal species on the planet. Moreover, this pattern remained extremely stable during the five decades studied—1960 to 2010. Unveiling proximity-induced regionalism as a major feature of planet-scale networks of transnational human activity, Deutschmann provides a crucial corrective to several fields of research.Revealing why a truly global society is unlikely to emerge, Mapping the Transnational World highlights the essential role of interaction beyond borders on a planet that remains spatially fragmented.

This podcast episode delves into the historical significance of the 1921 San Diego East West Christmas Classic, an intriguing yet ephemeral football game that epitomizes the intersection of sport and holiday spirit. We engage with Timothy P. Brown from FootballArchaeology.com, who elucidates the context surrounding this unique event, which featured Center College, known as the Praying Colonels, facing off against a then lesser-known Arizona team. Despite inclement weather that plagued the days preceding the game, leading to a lackluster crowd and challenging playing conditions, the Praying Colonels emerged victorious with a decisive score of 35 to 0. The narrative not only highlights the athletic prowess of the players involved, particularly the notable quarterback Bo McMillan, but also offers a glimpse into the historical landscape of college football during the early 1920s. Join us as we explore this captivating tale that enriches our understanding of football's storied past during the festive season.The Lost Bowl Game: When Centre College Beat the Rain in the 1921 Christmas ClassicA Bowl Game BoomIn the 1920s, cities across America tried to launch their own annual bowl games, hoping to replicate the success of the Rose Bowl. One such event was the short-lived San Diego East-West Christmas Classic, which ran for just two years. The 1921 edition featured one of the most remarkable small-college teams in history: the Centre College Praying Colonels, who traveled west to face the University of Arizona Wildcats. This was no ordinary contest; it was a battle against the elements and an insurance policy.The Praying Colonels' Giant SeasonCenter College, a tiny institution with only 247 students, boasted a legendary season leading up to the holiday clash. Coached by Charlie Moran and led by star quarterback Bo McMillan, the Praying Colonels were 9-0, having earned national renown by slaying giants like Clemson, Virginia Tech, Auburn, and, most famously, the undefeated Harvard Crimson. They arrived in San Diego expected to dominate, but the weather had other ideas.The usually sunny city was drenched. It had rained for eight straight days before Christmas Day, and the rain continued to fall right through kickoff. The playing field at Balboa Stadium was a swamp, with standing water turning the event into a muddy mess. Attendance was predictably sparse—a disaster for the promoters.Played for the PolicyThe organizers, however, had foresight and insured the game against poor weather. The catch? They could only collect the insurance payout if they actually played the game. Thus, the classic went on, not for the fans, but for the balance sheet. Center College, unfazed by the conditions, showcased their class. McMillan guided his team through the slop, leading the Colonels to a decisive 35-0 victory. The high score was remarkable, especially considering the waterlogged ball made the kicking game virtually impossible.Legacy in the MudWhile the San Diego Christmas Classic failed to survive past 1922 (when West Virginia beat Gonzaga), the 1921 edition is a testament to the grit and determination of a small-college powerhouse. It perfectly encapsulates the early, often chaotic days of college football, where an incredible team, a soaking field, and an insurance claim converged to create a unique holiday memory. The game is forever tied to the legend of Bo McMillan and the last great chapter of the Praying Colonels' dynasty.This is based on Tim Brown's original Tidbit titled: The 1921 San Diego East-West Christmas Classic Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website to see even more Positive football news!

Greece's "Achilles Shield" and Israel's Iron Beam Laser Defense: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter report that Greece is undertaking a historic modernization of its armed forces, unveiling a new national defense strategy focused on long-range missiles and a modernized air defense system dubbed "Achilles Shield," allowing Greece to project power more flexibly in the Eastern Mediterranean and counter threats from Turkey; in Israel, a major defensive breakthrough is imminent with the deployment of the "Iron Beam," a laser defense system capable of intercepting threats at approximately $50 per shot, expected to rewrite the rules of air defense by effectively countering drone swarms and missiles. 1914 MT ZION
