In 2017, the US dropped the “mother of all bombs” in a remote village in Afghanistan’s Achin district. Al Jazeera made the journey to see what’s left: homes destroyed, health problems mounting, and no accountability in sight. This is a story from the archives. This originally aired on May 29, 2025.

What if feeling lonely—especially around holidays like Valentine's Day—isn't a personal failure, but a sign that your village needs a refresh? In this heartfelt conversation, Janet M. Taylor welcomes returning guest Florence Ann Romano, author of Build Your Village, to talk about the power of community, vulnerability, and asking for help—without guilt or shame. Florence Ann shares why we weren't meant to do life alone, why asking for support feels so hard (especially for single women and caregivers), and how redefining your “village” can transform how loved and supported you feel in this season of life. Together, Janet and Florence Ann explore: ·  Why asking for help is not weakness—but strength ·   How social media comparison keeps us stuck and silent ·    The different “villagers” we need at various stages of life ·    How to recognize when relationships no longer fit—and release them with grace ·  Why vulnerability deepens connection instead of diminishing it ·  One simple, powerful way to start building (or strengthening) your village today This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or hesitant to lean on others—and is ready to create a more supportive, intentional life.

Public input on Marathon development "A More Walkable Cold Spring" will be the focus of a public presentation to the Cold Spring board on March 10 to launch a planning process for the 12-acre Marathon property on Kemble Avenue, the village's largest undeveloped tract. The Kearney Group, which owns the property, has hired Jeff Speck, co-founder of Speck Dempsey, a Brookline, Massachusetts-based urban planning firm, to explain the fundamentals of pedestrian-oriented neighborhood design. "We don't have a lot of young people without children, and there aren't really affordable, entry-level houses in the village," Mayor Kathleen Foley noted at the Wednesday (Feb. 11) meeting of the Village Board. The Marathon parcel, formerly the site of a battery plant, is zoned for a mixed-use planned unit development. Foley said a series of charrettes will be held in April and June. The developer will then create an application for the Planning Board. Sidewalk grants Foley updated the board on the status of federal Transportation Alternatives Program grants to add sidewalks along the north end of Fair Street from Mayor's Park to Route 9D and along Morris Avenue/Route 9D at the northern border of the village. The sidewalks were extended on Fair Street from the municipal parking lot to Mayor's Park as part of the recently completed stormwater drainage repairs. Cold Spring owns a short stretch of Fair Street north of Mayor's Park to the village boundary. Putnam County owns Fair Street from there to Route 9D. The cost of the new Fair Street sidewalks is estimated at $2 million. The grant would pay 80 percent of the cost, with the remaining 20 percent paid by Cold Spring, which must show it has the capacity to fund the entire project, a requirement she described as "kind of bananas." Foley said Putnam County is willing to front the 80 percent and the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail announced this week it would contribute the 20 percent local share. "We have had less luck on Route 9D," Foley said. State parks, HHFT, the state Department of Transportation and Putnam County have declined to cover 80 percent of the estimated $3 million cost. "We have a few Hail Mary asks out to some private organizations to see if they would loan the town the funds," Foley said. In other business … Village accountant Michelle Ascolillo reported that the cost of snow removal after the January storm was $68,000. In his monthly report, Robert Downey, the Highway Department crew chief, thanked Marc's Landscaping, Sal Pidala and Sons Excavating, Allen's Dumpster Service, Minardi's Excavation, Harold Lyons and Sons, Putnam County, Philipstown, the state Department of Transportation and state parks for their assistance in the aftermath. Matt Jackson, the officer-in-charge of the Cold Spring Police Department, reported that officers responded to 87 calls in January. The most frequent were alarms (12), assisting fire departments (8) and assisting local emergency medical services (8). There were also single calls for a domestic incident, a dispute, disorderly conduct and a person in crisis. Saturdays produced the most calls (22), followed by Fridays (18) and Wednesdays (15). He said Tuesdays produced the fewest calls (5). The Cold Spring Fire Co. answered 16 calls in January, including seven fire alarms, two assists to local EMS, two incidents of propane odor and single calls for a transformer fire, motor vehicle accident with injuries, mutual aid to North Highlands Fire Co., smoke in a structure and a pump out. Stephen Etta answered the most calls (14) with 20 volunteers responding to at least one call. The village said it will forward 16 cases of delinquent taxes, totaling $37,688, to Putnam County for collection.

Super Bowl food talk gets out of control as everyone compares their massive spreads — except Maurie, who only had an apple — and Shem reveals he voiced a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial with Alessia Cara. Maurie speaks with one of the human bushes from Bad Bunny's halftime show, and Mocha gets called out after a fan swears she spotted him at St. Louis Bar & Grill in full camo. At the Olympics, Maurie interviews snowboarder Florian Lechner, who's searching for a Valentine's Day date in the Village, and talks with Professor Victor Satzewich about granting figure skater Madeline Schizas an assignment extension while she competed. South African cross‑country skier Matt C. Smith checks in with more Village stories, Chloe quizzes her friends on Valentine's expectations, and Roz surprises everyone by admitting he's spending Valentine's Day making knives with his brother.

Nous sommes en octobre 1914, à quelques kilomètres d'Halifax au Canada, dans le petit port de Peggy's Cove. Oh, il n'y a pas grand-chose à y faire : les hommes sont partis en mer depuis des mois et le village, essentiellement peuplé de femmes, d'enfants et de vieillards chenus, attend le retour des marins... Par une nuit sans lune, un marin blond, belle gueule, couvert de tatouages s'échoue sur les récifs. Que fait-il là, son navire a fait naufrage ? Il n'en sait rien, il est amnésique. Dit-il. Arrivent deux négociants à la mine patibulaire, armés jusqu'aux dents. Ils cherchent le rescapé d'un navire naufragé pourvu d'une cargaison précieuse. Ils se montrent menaçants...

Moses Wiseman (Yup’ik) always knew he wanted to be a leader. Specifically, one with qualities that Wiseman learned from elders and other community members in the Village of Chefornak. At 24 years old, he is pursuing an MBA in strategic leadership at Alaska Pacific University, while also helping to create a Yup’ik glossary for health care providers. He and five other young, emerging Native leaders from all parts of the country have been selected for this year’s Center for Native American Youth’s Champions for Change. The program recognizes young people who exemplify leadership, taking steps to build positive outcomes in their communities. We’ll hear about these young people's passions and what drives them to serve others.

A US couple is set to buy an abandoned Spanish village, complete with a church, school and bar for €310,000. It's part of a growing trend across Spain, Portugal and Italy, where depopulated rural villages are being snapped up by foreign investors and transformed into tourism hubs and corporate retreat destinations. As rural “desertification” becomes a political issue in southern Europe, are these buyers breathing new life into forgotten communities or turning them into boutique playgrounds for outsiders? Jason Lee Beckwith joined Sean to explain why he bought the town and what its upkeep is like.

Jake is retiring from neo-nazi research, but before he gets back to giant squids and time travelers, he's leaving us with a parting gift: a deep dive into The Skokie Affair. In 1977 Skokie, Illinois had a population of around 70,000 and it is said that 40,500 of them were Jewish. It is for this reason that a thirty-two year old, half Jewish neo-nazi, named Frank Collin, sent the Park District of Skokie a letter asking for a permit to hold a Nazi Parade. The case that followed (Village of Skokie v. NSPA) went all the way to the US Supreme Court leading to a precedent that still stands today.

In this installment of the Sell Side Master Class, Ryan and Mike break down deal structure, the terms behind the headline enterprise value and why structure can matter as much as (or more than) price. They walk through the most common components of consideration in IT services M&A: cash at close, earnouts, seller notes, and rollover equity, including where each can create upside and where hidden risk lives. Mike explains why earnouts often get an unfair reputation, what “good” earnout design looks like, and why indexing to revenue is typically safer than profit. They also cover how seller notes work (and why they're subordinated to bank debt), what rollover equity really means in a PE-backed deal, and the “often missed” lever of working capital, including how sellers can accidentally leave money on the table without the right guidance. Tune in as we talk Deal Structures 101.DEAL STRUCTURES WE DISCUSS:Cash at close: The portion of the purchase price you receive when the deal closes. In the episode, this is framed as the most straightforward form of consideration and the “baseline” sellers compare other components against.Earnout: A contingent payment you can earn after closing if the business hits agreed performance targets. Mike explains that earnouts often work best when they're indexed higher on the P&L (commonly revenue, sometimes gross margin) and structured with a “lane” or prorated payout range instead of an all-or-nothing cliff. Example from the episode's concept: if revenue lands within a defined band around the forecast, you receive a proportional earnout payout.Seller note: Seller financing where the seller effectively becomes a lender to the buyer for part of the purchase price. The transcript describes this as the seller “acting like the bank,” typically with interest, and notes that it is usually subordinated to senior bank debt. Example conceptually: you receive part of the price over time as principal plus interest rather than all at close.Rollover equity: The seller reinvests a portion of proceeds into the new ownership structure, keeping equity in the business post-transaction. In the episode, this is discussed as the “second bite of the apple,” often seen in PE-backed deals where the seller participates in future upside at a later liquidity event.Working capital adjustment: A structural mechanism that sets a working capital “target” at close and adjusts the seller's proceeds up or down depending on whether the company delivers more or less working capital than agreed. The transcript emphasizes this as an often-overlooked lever and discusses that many owners are overcapitalized, meaning working capital can meaningfully impact what the seller takes home if negotiated correctly.Mixing structures to optimize EV and share risk: The episode repeatedly frames structure as a way to balance risk between buyer and seller and sometimes increase headline enterprise value. Example concept: a buyer may offer a higher total value if some portion is contingent (earnout) or deferred (seller note) versus paying the entire amount in cash at close. OTHER EPISODES IN THIS SERIES:Part 1.

Send a textEver been in the room when friendship, fandom, and real life collide? We kick things off with pure community energy: a Black History Month after-party, a hometown DJ on deck, and a push to grow the Village Vets Pod family across Instagram, YouTube, and the Facebook group. Then we drop straight into the stories that make a town feel like a team—local hoops legends, who's “Kawhi” in the crew, and why those pickup runs still shape how we talk about competition.From there, we pull apart the Super Bowl experience in a way only real fans do. One of us loves defensive football, another couldn't track Bad Bunny's lyrics, and all of us wrestle with representation. Did the halftime show expand the tent or just juice the NFL's metrics? We talk Jay-Z's influence, how viewership is the true scoreboard, and why controversy is often the point. That flows into a bigger conversation about the line between entertainment and disrespect on live shows—money talk, family talk, name jokes—and what happens when someone doubles down after you set a boundary.Basketball heat rises next. Isaiah Stewart vs Miles Bridges, football-strong vs basketball-strong, who's a crash-out and who's actually dangerous. We swap fashion and fragrance playbooks—when to spray, how to layer, why seasonal scents matter—because the night doesn't start at the door, it starts in the mirror. Music debates follow fast: TI vs 50 Cent in a hypothetical Verzuz, 50's legacy beyond Get Rich Or Die Tryin', and a sober take on J. Cole's sprawling double album. We respect the bars, question the bloat, and ask what “winning” even means when algorithms sit courtside.We close with the most honest topic of the night: siblings and money. If you make it big, what do you owe? We argue for housing and structure, not blank checks; budgets and advisors, not TMZ confessionals. The hard question sits at the center—what happened that made the “no” necessary? Through it all, the pulse never fades: friendship, accountability, and a standing invite to show up in person.Join us for the laughs, stay for the grown talk, and then pull up. Subscribe, share with a friend, and drop a review to help more listeners find the Village Vets Pod. Your take on Bad Bunny, TI vs 50, and saying no to family might just fuel our next episode.Support the show

Elias Makos is joined by Meeker Guerrier, Commentator at Noovo and RDS, and Sue Smith is a Montreal journalist and broadcaster. 10 people are dead and 25 others are injured following a mass shooting inside a B.C high school yesterday afternoon. The SPVM released its 2025 results yesterday, and Police Chief Fady Dagher says the data is clear: Montreal is safe. The United States hockey squad will sleep in the Athlete’s village for the entire tournament, embracing the dorm-room lifestyle for two weeks. Team Canada will visit the village for two days - but then go live in a five-star hotel once the games actually begin. Who’s got the better Olympic spirit? In what should have been a celebration of an olympic medal for a Norwegian athlete, turned into a beg for forgiveness live on air.

What does it look like to build a school around student voice, joyful learning, and real affordability? In this episode of LiberatED, Kerry McDonald speaks with Elizabeth Dean, Head of Learning at The Village School, a learner-centered school in Arlington, Virginia serving about 70 students. Elizabeth shares her journey from public school teacher and instructional coach to school leader—and how her own negative schooling experiences sparked a commitment to creating more human, joyful learning environments. Elizabeth explains how the Village School emphasizes hands-on projects, real-world challenges, and two hours of unstructured play every day—while still seeing students perform above grade level on standardized tests. She also discusses the school's deliberate choice to keep tuition below half the cost of most traditional private schools in Northern Virginia, supported by a robust financial aid program that prioritizes access over luxury amenities. The conversation explores the school's three-way partnership among learners, guides, and parents, the importance of social capital and personal development, and plans to launch a high school program in 2028. This episode is a powerful example of how learner-centered schools can remain financially sustainable, academically strong, and deeply human. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

Belley, été 1940. La France a perdu, mais la guerre continue. Dans le village, les habitants doivent faire face aux privations et aux difficultés d'une vie à l'horizon rétréci : ravitaillement, marché noir, délation, déplacements limités, sort des prisonniers de guerre, STO, recensement et exclusion des populations juive et étrangère font désormais partie du quotidien. Mais bientôt l'administration de Vichy, avec ses relais à la sous-préfecture, laisse la place aux soldats italiens, qui occupent la région pendant quelques mois, avant que les Allemands n'entrent dans le village en septembre 1943. Pierre-Marcel le sous-préfet, Aimé le milicien, Gertrude et David les écrivains juifs, Romans et Plutarque les résistants, et à quelques kilomètres de là les enfants de la colonie d'Izieu, deviennent les acteurs d'une histoire meurtrie.À rebours d'une histoire par le haut et centrée sur Paris et les métropoles françaises, les volumes de cette collection racontent l'histoire de France à travers le quotidien d'un village et de ses habitants, sur plusieurs mois ou années. Plus qu'un portrait de la France rurale à différents âges, chaque volume redonne vie à ces civils qui, à leur échelle, ont été témoins et acteurs de l'histoire, quand l'exceptionnel s'est immiscé dans leur existence. En retraçant minutieusement le destin d'individus et leur attitude face aux événements est ainsi rendu sensible le récit d'une époque.L'auteur, Pierre-Jérôme Bisacarat, est notre invitée en studioHébergé par Audiomeans.

Amberley Village - Council Meeting - February 9, 2026

Canada adds a silver medal in mixed short-track relay, cheating at the Olympics, and should team Canada stay in the village or a hotel.

There is a theory that both the next podcast edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement as well as the next written version might be delayed out of some sort of concern about whether the internal numbering system is equipped to deal with the impending approach of the 1,000th edition. At least, that is one possible explanation of why it has taken so long to produce these older stories from the last week. There was a slight disruption in the routine which sometimes results in delays. I'm Sean Tubbs, and I look forward to sorting it all out.Audio versions of stories previously sent out in the newsletter: * Charlottesville City Council agrees to reallocate funding intended to run low-barrier shelter (read the story)* Charlottesville's finance director presents more details on city's $8.5 million surplus (read the story)* The 700 block of Charlottesville's West Main Street is now known as “Mel's Walk” (read the story)* Albemarle's Economic Development Authority agrees to spend $500K on Boulders Road Extension (read the story)* Supervisor Mike Pruitt shares information on CARTA with fellow elected officials (read the story)* The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission will try again for federal funding for design of Rivanna pedestrian bridge (read the story)Charlottesville Community Engagement is a reader-supported publication.

Change an overhead lightbulb, plant a flower, walk a dog for someone who is sick, visit someone who is lonely? If so, Cville Village needs you!Cville Village is a local 501c3 nonprofit organization loosely affiliated with a national network of Villages whose goals are to help seniors stay in their own homes as long as possible, and to build connections among them that diminish social isolation. Volunteers do small chores for, and have gatherings of, professors and schoolteachers, nurses and lawyers, aides and housekeepers. Time and chance come to all – a fall, an order not to drive, failing eyesight, a sudden stroke. They assist folks continue living at home, with a little help from their friends.Cville Village volunteers consult software that shows them who has requested a service and where they are located. Volunteers accept only the requests that fit their schedule and their skills.Volunteering for Cville Village can expand your circle of friends and shower you with thanks.To learn more, visit cvillevillage.org or attend one of their monthly Village “meet-ups” and see for yourself.

As I was producing stories last week, I did produce the audio but I did not post them to the Information Charlottesville website. Somehow I forgot that finished audio segments had been made and it felt like a slog to have to do the audio again.This is because the radio version did not air last week and so I didn't feel the same pressure to follow all of the steps. This week there will be a radio show and I have enough material that I am considering slowing down a little this week to focus on business and administration things.Also, it is going to be in the fifties later and I want to go for a walk and watch the ice and snow melt. So I am going to aim to have the next newsletter out tomorrow. That will be #999 and after that will be #1000. No comma. I think that's how I'll get through adding a fourth digit.Another reason things were difficult this week is that my copy of Adobe Audition reset and a lot of my bookmarks disappeared. Because I could not see the recent links to session files, I assumed I had not produced them.I'm writing this as I produce the podcast and also missing are my links to various sound files I use as punctuation in between stories. Youngers versions of me used to love playing around with audio production. I still do, but these days the need to produce takes the capacity away from being creative.Which is why this may be a week I listen to my brain and take a slight reset. All I know is that I'm very glad to have this edition done and to have a few hours off away from writing. There are many stories to tell, but there are also days I need to do a little more.Oh! Another reason this week is weird. For some reason, the gain on the headphones for my recording set-up is really low so I can't really hear myself while narrating. This is an annoyance but also causes issues. Perhaps I'll spend the rest of the day setting up a new place to work! This is a public episode.

Our story tonight is called The Valentine in the Drawer, Part Two, and while it is connected to ⁠Part One⁠, it is actually set long before the bit we heard last week. This is actually our first ever historical Nothing Much Story, something I had much too much fun with. If you manage to hear any of it, which I doubt, as you are already very sleepy, you'll notice it is full of village easter eggs and familiar locations. It's a story about a cold February morning, made bright and warm by an envelope slipped into a mailbox. It's also about fogged up windows on a streetcar, a kettle about to whistle, red roses and marbles, galoshes stepped into with haste, and a small drawer in a desk filled with love notes.

My guest today is Pascale Jean-Gilles. Pascale and I bumped into each other last week at two local events: a high school student-led protest in solidarity with Minneapolis in our town and at the County Legislature Building with hundreds of people showing up to support the "Safety and Dignity for All ACT", a bill to ensure guardrails with ICE agents in our county. Having known Pascale since she was 2 years old, it was a pure delight to reconnect with her and learn about who she is as a thoughtful, compassionate, dedicated young woman.  Pascale is Chief of Staff for NY State Representative, Mary Jane Shimsky, District 92, as well as an elected Trustee and Deputy Mayor for the Village of Nyack. She is invested in local politics, personal growth and cares deeply about meeting the needs of her community. I loved hearing what influenced Pascale to go to law school, the lessons she learned about her NJ clerkship in criminal court, her experience as communications director, campaign manager and director of outreach for an assemblywomen and a state senator.  It's refreshing to meet a trustworthy young person who see politics as a tool to advocate for basic human rights for all people.

Après un examen approfondi, la docteure fait une découverte tragique. Le diagnostic est sans appel : c'est une sclérose latérale amyotrophique, autrement appelée “maladie de Charcot”. Après quelques appels téléphoniques pour se renseigner sur cette pathologie auprès de ses collègues, Emmeline Lagrange découvre qu'un nombre inexplicable d'habitants de Montchavin sont touchés par ce fléau. Cela ne peut pas être une coïncidence. Commence alors une véritable enquête médicale...  Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Elie Olivennes Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of That's Total Mom Sense, host Kanika Chadda Gupta sits down with Alex Spitz, Founder and CEO of New Mom School, to explore what happens when the village disappears and how she is rebuilding it. After experiencing the isolation of early motherhood herself, Alex set out to create a solution. Today, she is actively rebuilding the village for modern mothers through New Mom School, a postpartum education and support platform with 22 locations across the United States. Grounded in expert-led programming and real community, New Mom School equips parents with the education, confidence, and connection they need during the fourth trimester. Together, Kanika and Alex discuss the postpartum care gap, maternal mental health, and why proactive support, not survival mode, should be the standard. This episode is especially relevant for pregnant women and parents with babies under one year old, and is required listening for anyone who wants to support the mothers in their lives.

(James Oh / Alaska Public Media) The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk is at a crossroads. A powerful storm last fall destroyed homes, contaminated water, and left residents with a critical decision: rebuild in the same spot or move to higher ground? As the Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports, the conversation is just getting started. Kipnuk resident Rayna Paul fights back tears as she talks about how the remnants of Typhoon Halong ravaged her village — and why relocating is so important for the next generation. “We want them to have a livable life too.” She shared her thoughts at a recent meeting in Anchorage, where more than 50 Kipnuk residents discussed the future of their community. Village Council President Daniel Paul says it'll be up to the residents to decide what's next. “I had many calls from our tribal members, half of them wanna stay, half wanna go.” Kipnuk is about four miles inland from the Bering Sea coast and was once home to about 700 people. Nearly everyone evacuated after the October storms. Paul says about 100 residents are back now, working to rebuild, but there's a lot to do. The storm demolished about 150 homes, wiped out vital infrastructure, and left lands and water contaminated. During the meeting, residents spoke predominantly in Yup'ik, asking what relocation could look like. They asked about how to choose a new site and secure land ownership. And they pondered what it would take to set up critical infrastructure at a new place. Village Council Vice President Chris Alexie says that would include a school, airport, and health clinic. “This isn’t going to be an easy process to do, but we have to do that.” Village officials say the relocation process can take years. Kipnuk elder David Carl says he supports relocating. “We’re not thinking about ourselves, who we are now, we just want to fight for our upcoming generations.” But for Daniel Paul, Kipnuk is home and he hopes to live there again one day. “For me, I’m gonna stick with Kipnuk, regardless of how the situation is. I was raised there, and I’ll stay there.” Paul says the meeting was just the first step in the relocation discussion, and residents have a lot of factors to weigh. But Kipnuk leaders also feel a sense of urgency. Paul says the village expects only one substantial influx of federal funding. To make the best use of it, he says they need to decide soon whether they want to stay or move. Navajo County Complex. (Courtesy Navajo County) For decades, public health officials in Navajo County, Ariz. have been helping tribal members and elders who were not born inside a hospital with obtaining birth certificates. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, they have seen a spike in applicants following reports of Native people getting caught up in ICE crackdowns nationwide. Last year, 305 residents applied for delayed birth certificates across Navajo County, two thirds of which covers tribal lands belonging to Navajos, Hopis, and White Mountain Apaches. Violet Redbird-Nez (Kiowa and Diné) is a vital records specialist with county public health. She treks to Kayenta quarterly to help residents get documented and for the last three months, Redbird-Nez says there is an uptick. “They're worried that they might get deported.” There were 22 applicants last month alone. Once the paperwork is filled out, it typically takes six weeks. “And it's so endearing to know that they came by to say, ‘Hey, thank you for helping me get my birth registered. I'm legal now,' is what they say. So that's awesome.” Indian Health Service is headquartered in Rockville, Md. (Photo: Antony-22 / Wikimedia) U.S. Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NM) and Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced this week the Stronger Engagement for Indian Health Needs Act. The legislation elevates the role of the Indian Health Service (IHS) Director to Assistant Secretary for Indian Health within the Department of Health and Human Services. Senators say elevating the position would give IHS greater authority to address the health care needs of Native communities. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.
