Why I Have Chosen Jesus over My Father's Voodoo by Adolph Dagan https://www.amazon.com/Have-Chosen-Jesus-Fathers-Voodoo/dp/B0DSGPLZWP Adolphdagan.com Do you think your situation cannot change? Come closer to God; He is able to do something for you that you never imagined. Adolph Dagan was born in a little village called Daganhoé in Togo, West Africa, where his father was a voodoo priest. Almost every day he would go to the voodoo temple/shrine to worship, and Adolph was always with him. As the youngest boy, his father decided Adolph would replace him someday, but God had other plans. Instead, God brought Adolph to the United States, where he went through financial issues and sicknesses, but because of his unshakable belief in God and his faithfulness, God brought him through it all and gave him a powerful testimony.About the author Adolph A. Dagan was born in Daganhoé, Moyen-Mono Prefecture, in Togo, West Africa on July 20, 1974. He was raised in Daganhoé and went to elementary school in Ahassomé; middle school in Kpékpléme and Nyékonakpoè Atakpamé; and high school in Aplahoué in the Republic of Bénin, Atakpamé (LYATA), and Notsé (LYNO) in Togo. Adolph graduated with a bachelor's degree at American Military University (AMU) and a master's degree at Austin Peay State University (APSU) in the United States of America.

In this episode, we spoke with Cornelia C. Walther about her three books examining technology's role in society. Walther, who spent nearly two decades with UNICEF and the World Food Program before joining Wharton's AI & Analytics Initiative, brings field experience from West Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to her analysis of how human choices shape technological outcomes. The conversation covered her work on COVID-19's impact on digital inequality, her framework for understanding how values get embedded in AI systems, and her concept of "Aspirational Algorithms"—technology designed to enhance rather than exploit human capabilities. We discussed practical questions about AI governance, who participates in technology development, and how different communities approach technological change. Walther's "Values In, Values Out" framework provided a useful lens for examining how the data and assumptions we feed into AI systems shape their outputs. The discussion examined the relationship between technology design, social structures, and human agency. We explored how pandemic technologies became normalized, whose voices are included in AI development, and what it means to create "prosocial" technology in practice. Learn more about your ad choices.

Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a transformational milestone for the company: the signing of a production sharing contract and joint venture agreement with the Republic of Gabon and the Gabon Oil Company (GOC) for the exploration, appraisal, development, and production of oil and gas on Offshore Block C-7, now officially renamed Ngulu. Under the terms of the agreement, ReconAfrica has been designated as operator with a 55% working interest. The Government of Gabon has emphasized its commitment to establishing a stable and attractive regulatory framework that supports investment and leverages the country's abundant hydrocarbon resources to create lasting economic growth for its citizens. Reinsborough highlighted that this partnership marks ReconAfrica's entry as an offshore operator in West Africa, a strategic shift that expands the company's growth potential. Block C-7 (Ngulu) spans 1,214 km² of shallow water acreage offshore central Gabon, situated on trend and offset to a series of prolific producing fields in the region, which range in size from 38 million to 250 million barrels. One of the block's key assets is the Loba oil discovery, drilled in 1976, which encountered 140 metres of gross hydrocarbon pay (70 metres net pay). This discovery provides low-risk appraisal and development opportunities and is estimated to hold the potential for ~20,000 barrels per day of production, comparable to nearby producing fields. Beyond near-term development, Ngulu offers significant exploration upside, with an inventory of 28 mapped prospects. These prospects are considered geologically analogous to successful Gulf of Mexico play types, opening the door to substantial resource additions. The company views Ngulu as a balanced project, combining short-cycle development potential with meaningful exploration upside—an alignment that could drive near-term cash flow while securing ReconAfrica's role in one of Africa's most prospective offshore basins. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #EnergyUpdate #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGasNews #AfricanEnergy #OilDiscovery #EnergyInvesting #OilExploration #NamibiaOil #EnergyInvesting #KavangoBasin #BrianReinsborough #OilAndGas #InvestorUpdate #ProactiveInvestors #AngolaEnergy #gabon #ngulu

Send us a textWhat makes some children overcome unimaginable trauma while others struggle to recover? Is resilience something you're born with, or can it be cultivated? These questions drive our fascinating conversation with Dr. Nicole Wilke, author and Director of Research at Christian Alliance for Orphans.Drawing from her extraordinary background—growing up in a family that fostered 70 children and personally experiencing severe health challenges as a teenager—Nicole brings professional expertise and lived experience to this critical topic. Her insights challenge conventional wisdom, revealing that resilience is less "bouncing back from" and more "growing through" adversity.The heart of resilience, Nicole explains, lies in relationships. "When I'm weak, I can borrow from your strength," she shares, highlighting how humans were designed for interdependence rather than independence. This perspective transforms how we approach trauma recovery, shifting focus from individual grit to supportive connections. For children who've experienced separation, abuse or neglect, healing happens primarily through consistent, attuned relationships that communicate worth and belonging.What's particularly striking is how science and faith align in understanding resilience. Nicole unpacks research showing that spirituality correlates with better recovery outcomes, while biblical principles like finding purpose in suffering parallel scientific concepts of post-traumatic growth. This intersection offers practical strategies for parents, social workers, and anyone walking alongside vulnerable children.The conversation takes a powerful turn when addressing systems change, advocating for family-based solutions over institutional care and locally-driven approaches ________Travel on International Mission, meet local leadership and work alongside them.

Is Christ fully God AND fully man? - "Jesus Christ: Fully God, Fully Man: The Chalcedonian Response" by Charles Z. BarwonThis book explains Jesus's two natures in a way relevant to the modern reader. It clearly describes the struggle to understand Jesus's two natures and points out inadequacies in the views of some church fathers who misinterpreted the meaning of Jesus's two natures. This book uses the affirmation of the Council of Chalcedon, AD 451, to explain Jesus's two natures and establish that Jesus is fully God and man. This book takes on a historical and theological stance. Still, it can be appreciated by both theologians and nontheologians because it articulates with clarity and simplicity the significance of Jesus's two natures for the Christian faith.Charles Z. Barwon is originally from Liberia, West Africa. Was converted to Christianity through the ministry of an American Missionary, Caroline Rotz, who ran a youth organization called Youth for Christ in Liberia, West Africa.Charles Z. Barwon is married and has been a seasoned minister of the gospel with over 30 years of faithful service in various leadership roles. He has served as the Senior Pastor of the Monrovia Open Bible Standard Church, District Field Director of the Monrovia District Open Bible Standard Churches, and the National Field Director of the Liberia Open Bible Standard Churches.Charles Z. Barwon is the president of Jarwludo International Training Institute and an astute theologian and thinker. He graduated from Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary (BTh), Cuttington University (MTh), Dallas Theological Seminary (ThM), and Liberty University (MA). He has been a pastor and church leader for over thirty years in the United States and Liberia, West Africa. He has lectured over the years at several seminaries and bible colleges, including being the former department chair of theology at the African Methodist Episcopal University and a lecturer at the Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary in Liberia, West Africa.AMAZONwww.KingPagesPress.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/9425kpp1.mp3

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the heartbreaking Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis, a wave of swatting attacks targeting U.S. colleges, and global updates from Iran, Greenland, Vietnam, and West Africa. From domestic terror and cultural battles at home to mineral wars and Islamist violence abroad, today's brief delivers the facts shaping America's future. Minneapolis Catholic School Shooting: A 23-year-old man who identified as transgender opened fire outside a Catholic school, killing two children and injuring 17 others. In his manifesto he wrote, “I do it to please myself… I do it because I am sick.” The school's priest begged, “I ask you to — please — pray,” while Democrats like Jen Psaki shot back, “Prayer is not freaking enough.” Bryan calls Psaki's remarks “a demand of the evil and wicked” and links the shooter's instability to cross-sex hormones, THC use, and the broader dangers of experimental “gender affirming care.” Swatting Attacks Target U.S. Colleges: Universities from South Carolina to Colorado were hit by fake active-shooter calls, prompting dangerous police raids. Wired identifies the culprits as an online group called Purgatory, who brag they are “nihilistic” and do it for fun and cash. Bryan argues the crime warrants capital punishment: “You rip this stuff and these people out by the root.” Foreign Spies Captured Bolton's Emails: The New York Times confirms that a foreign intelligence service intercepted classified emails John Bolton sent to his wife and daughter from an unsecured system. Democrats call Trump's DOJ “fascist,” but Bryan insists, “Had I done what John Bolton did, I would be in prison a long time ago.” Iran's Nuclear Stockpile Neutralized: Satellite images confirm Trump's Operation Midnight Hammer left 900 pounds of enriched uranium entombed at Isfahan. The IAEA backs the finding, despite Iran threatening its director Rafael Grossi with death. Bryan says the news proves firing DIA chief Jeffrey Kruse for downplaying the strike was “a good clean-out of the Deep State.” American Operatives Stir Trouble in Greenland: The Wall Street Journal reports suspected Trump-linked contractors are recruiting Greenlanders for separatist movements, sparking tensions with Denmark. Bryan suspects, “These guys are more like Erik Prince's Blackwater than CIA professionals — sloppy, but maybe effective.” China Moves to Corner Vietnam's Tungsten Supply: Reuters reveals Chinese firms are secretly bidding for Vietnam's tungsten mines through front companies. With the U.S. sourcing a quarter of its tungsten from Vietnam, Bryan warns this could leave America “utterly dependent” on Beijing for another critical mineral. Islamist Violence in Ivory Coast Spurs U.S. Base Plans: Militants from Burkina Faso kill farmers in northern Ivory Coast, part of a growing jihadist campaign across West Africa. The U.S. considers building a drone and Special Forces base in Benin, Ghana, or Ivory Coast to counter both Islamists and China's expanding footprint in African resources and fishing.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Minneapolis Catholic school shooting, transgender shooter manifesto, Jen Psaki prayer remarks, THC psychosis gender dysphoria, U.S. college swatting attacks Purgatory group, John Bolton unsecured emails espionage, Operation Midnight Hammer uranium entombed, Jeffrey Kruse DIA firing, Trump Greenland operatives separatist movement, China Vietnam tungsten mine, U.S. dependence critical minerals, Ivory Coast Islamist attack Burkina Faso, U.S. West Africa drone base, China Africa bauxite cocoa fishing

In the final episode of our Misunderstood Monsters season, we explore the story of Arachne: It's usually presented as one of hubris: a cautionary tale against pride. But can we revisit her story in the light of our Misunderstood Monsters theme? We'll also meet some other spider-folk from across the world, including West Africa, the American Southwest, and Japan, and we'll wrap up the Gauntlet of the Gorgon with a look at how Medusa is having a real moment in modern book publishing.

Bottom trawling is one of the most widely used - and most destructive - fishing practices in the world. Dragging heavy nets across the seabed damages fragile ecosystems, depletes global fish supplies, and puts the livelihoods of small-scale fishers at risk.In this episode of The Food Chain, Rumella Dasgupta speaks to John Worthington, one of the last remaining fishermen in Fleetwood, UK, who fears a proposed ban on bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas could end his business. Fisheries economist Dr Rashid Sumaila of the University of British Columbia explains the global consequences of trawling, from overfishing to illegal and unregulated catches.On the coast of West Africa, Aissata Daouda Dia, Head of Advocacy at Blue Ventures, tells us hom much coastal communities rely on local catch. Nana Kweigyah from the Canoe and Fishing Gear Owners Association of Ghana, describes how foreign industrial trawlers are devastating coastal communities. And in Singapore, Adrian Poon of the Cinnamon Group explores the challenges of sourcing fish sustainably in a market dominated by cheaper, trawled seafood.Producer: Izzy Greenfield Image: Getty

Send us a textBuried in the storied history of American whiskey lies an untold tale of innovation, mentorship, and the extraordinary impact of one man—Nearest Green. As the first African American master distiller in the United States, Green's legacy was nearly lost to time until the creation of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey.In this episode, we crack open the Uncle Nearest Black Label Single Barrel, bottled at a robust 123 proof, and dive deep into the fascinating history behind the brand. The story unfolds like a historical drama—Jack Daniel, as a young orphan sent to work as a chore boy, meets Nearest Green, an enslaved man with profound knowledge of distillation. Green teaches Daniel a special charcoal filtering technique from West Africa that would eventually become known as the Lincoln County Process—the defining characteristic that separates Tennessee whiskey from bourbon.As we sip this mahogany-colored spirit, we explore its grassy notes with hints of vanilla wafer sweetness and leathery undertones, discussing how the charcoal filtering affects the flavor profile. The whiskey delivers a quick heat that stays on the top of the mouth rather than giving that typical "Kentucky hug," leading to a grain-forward finish that sparked considerable debate about its overall balance and character.Beyond the liquid in our glasses, we examine the meteoric rise of Uncle Nearest as a brand—from its founding in 2017 to winning hundreds of awards and expanding to all 50 states and 12 countries in just a few years. However, this rapid growth has led to recent financial troubles, with reports of a $108 million loan default threatening the company's future.Whether you're fascinated by whiskey history, interested in supporting historically significant brands, or simply looking for your next premium bottle, join us for this enlightening conversation about a spirit that's more than just a drink—it's a long-overdue recognition of a pivotal figure in American whiskey heritage.

Chocolate may fill grocery store shelves around the world, but the raw product that powers chocolate is far more selective. The majority of chocolate farms are found in West Africa and South America – just 20 degrees north or south of the equator. Each farm produces chocolate of a different flavor. Some cocoa tastes fruitier; others, more floral. Nutty. Earthy. Spicy. But what drives these different flavor profiles? And can it be recreated in a lab? A team led by scientists at the University of Nottingham in the UK sought to find out and published their results in the journal Nature Microbiology this week. Curious about other ways science intersects with food?

How many female entrepreneurs, merchants and industrialists can you name? We all know the names Rockefeller, Medici and Ford, but what about Priscilla Wakefield, who founded the first bank for women and children? Or the businesswoman Julia Felix, who built a property empire in Ancient Rome? In her new book, Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth and Power, Dr Victoria Bateman charts the vital contributions made by women to humanity's path from poverty to prosperity. In this episode, she sat down with historian Caroline Dodds Pennock for a wide-ranging conversation - from the market queens of 18th century West Africa to the everyday working women of the Industrial Revolution, to the women who laid the foundations for the computer industry. She shows that throughout history, civilisations thrive when women are working alongside men, and decline when women are forced away from paid work into the home, and explores the lessons these histories hold for our economic future. Victoria Bateman is a feminist economist and academic. Economica is available now.

Fighting crime through collaboration – lessons from a retired DEA Special Agent. Detailed Summary: In this Finovate podcast episode, host Greg Palmer interviews David Tyree, a retired DEA special agent now serving as a senior advisor with Valid8 Financial. Tyree shares his extensive career journey from joining the DEA in 1998 to working in various locations including New Mexico, Oregon, Europe, West Africa, and Wyoming. Early in his career, he discovered the effectiveness of targeting criminal organizations' financial assets, which led to developing strong relationships with financial institutions. Tyree emphasizes that successful investigations require humility and collaboration between law enforcement and banks, noting that both sides benefit when they share information openly rather than remaining guarded. Throughout the conversation, Tyree highlights the importance of understanding criminal typologies in financial crime detection. He discusses technological advancements that have improved financial crime investigations, including CSV files, online typology resources, and third-party monitoring software. Despite these technological improvements, Tyree consistently returns to the human element as critical, stressing that banks should focus on making their customers "the heroes of their stories" by educating them about fraud risks and empowering them with information to protect themselves, particularly vulnerable populations like the elderly. In his current role at Valid8, Tyree helps law enforcement make sense of money movement patterns, with the platform having helped him discover an additional million dollars in a case where he had initially seized $200,000. He advises financial institutions to prioritize understanding criminal typologies across various crimes including human trafficking, drug trafficking, fraud, and elder abuse. Tyree concludes by emphasizing two key elements for effective financial crime prevention: understanding what criminal activity looks like in financial data and fostering greater collaboration between banks and law enforcement agencies to share emerging trends and patterns.

It's Hump Day on the Majority Report Today is Michael Brooks birthday and we are celebrating him by bringing on two of his favorite guests. But first the Trump administration is nominating EJ Antoni for the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics despite a deluge of conservative economists labeling him incompetent. Not to mention that he has made several media appearances while using a Nazi battleship as his Zoom background. An incompetent Nazi in the Trump administration?   Author and co-founder of Black Star News, Milton Allimadi joins us to discuss Frances retreat from West Africa. Here are some links to Milton's appearances on The Michael Brooks Show: First Wave Of African Liberation & Neo-Colonization ft. Milton Allimadi (TMBS 92) The US Neocolonial Role In Africa ft.

Rep Tim Burchett (R-TN) is so scared of crime in DC, also has been attacked by colleagues in the halls of Congress and kicked in the ribs by a horse on his farm. This poor guy has to live in office to avoid all the crime. All that and more plus your IMs. Happy Birthday Michael Brooks.   The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.
