For the past year, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has been as exciting and essential as DC's Absolute Universe or Skybound's Energon Universe. Writer Jason Aaron and artist Juan Ferreyra have built an unmissable monthly comic, not to forget the numerous other splinter titles and crossover minis. Shortly before San Diego Comic-Con International, The Hollywood Reporter announced Aaron and Ferreyra's departure, and we were a little heartbroken. Their time on the book was too brief, but if they must go, the news that cartoonist extraordinaire Gene Luen Yang and lifelong Turtle maniac Freddie E. Williams II eased the pain some. One of our missions for this year's San Diego Comic-Con was to return with more news regarding the TMNT baton pass between Aaron and Ferreyra and Yang and Williams. After moderating IDW Publishing's “The New Era of Turtle Power” panel, we retreated to the Hilton Bayfront, where we had a lengthy conversation with Gene Luen Yang about his passion for the Turtles and how he would apply it to the series, starting with issue thirteen. Also discussed at San Diego Comic-Con, Andrew Joustra, the script coordinator for the animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, will write an arc for the newly announced Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, bringing the iconic Fugitoid character to the latest iteration of the TMNT universe. As passionate fans of Fugitoid ourselves, we had to trap Joustra in a media room for a deep dive into his take on the character and why he put so much of himself into the troubled fugitive android. Today, you get two podcasts for the price of one. With Gene Luen Yang, we discuss where we find the Turtles when his story begins, how they've grown throughout the Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreyra run, and why a certain new antagonist was necessary for his story. With Andrew Joustra, we explore the Fugitoid concept, his relationship with the Turtles through the various franchise incarnations, and why this story is so deeply personal.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Erica Korb from the University of Pennsylvania about her work on BRD4 and the histone variant H2BE, which influences synaptic genes and neuronal activity. Dr. Korb discusses the focus of her lab, which centers on epigenetic mechanisms impacting gene regulation in neurons. Her research primarily examines histone biology and its connection to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities. Dr. Korb expounds on the collaborative environment at UPenn's Epigenetics Institute, emphasizing how the rich diversity of research topics fosters innovative ideas and projects within the community. Reflecting on her earlier work from her postdoctoral studies, Dr. Korb discusses her first significant findings regarding the protein BRD4. This work demonstrated BRD4's role in mediating transcriptional regulation crucial for learning and memory processes. She explains how disrupting this protein's function in neurons hindered critical gene activations required for memory formation in mice. This foundational understanding opened avenues for exploring the broader implications of chromatin regulation in various neurodevelopmental conditions. Transitioning into her current research endeavors, Dr. Korb reveals how she aims to expand her focus beyond Fragile X syndrome. With her lab now investigating multiple chromatin regulators implicated in various forms of autism spectrum disorders, she describes a recent project where RNA sequencing exposed substantial overlaps in gene expression changes associated with five distinct chromatin modifiers, each contributing uniquely to neuronal function while collectively demonstrating sensitivity to chromatin disruptions. A significant portion of the discussion centers around Dr. Korb's unexpected exploration into how COVID-19 intersects with chromatin biology through a phenomenon known as histone mimicry. Leveraging bioinformatic tools during the pandemic, her lab discovered that certain viral proteins mimic histone sequences, which may lead to altered transcriptional outputs in host cells. This coincidental finding illustrates both the creative adaptability needed in scientific research and the importance of collaborative efforts across disciplines to uncover new insights. The conversation also delves into Dr. Korb's recent work regarding the histone variant H2BE, initiated by one of her graduate students. She explains how prior research only recognized H2BE's expression in the olfactory system, yet her lab has demonstrated its significant role in regulating synaptic genes and memory formation throughout broader neuronal contexts. Notably, they identified a single amino acid change that influences H2BE's function in chromatin accessibility and gene transcription, emphasizing its potential evolutionary conservation across species. In terms of H2BE's role, Dr. Korb elucidates that its activity is integral in response to extracellular stimuli, particularly within the context of neuronal activation. Intriguingly, they found that H2BE expression decreases in reaction to long-term neuronal stimulation, suggesting a complex mechanism of homeostatic plasticity crucial for regulating neuronal activity levels. This research not only advances understanding of chromatin dynamics but also holds implications for neuronal health and disease mechanisms.   References Feierman, E. R., Louzon, S., Prescott, N.

Dibawakan oleh Olivia Ivania dan Meri Kaona dari Komunitas Kongregasi Bunda Hati Tersuci Maria di Keuskupan Maumere, Indonesia. Daniel 7: 9-10.13-14; Mazmur tg 97: 1-2.5-6.9; 2 Petrus 1: 16-19; Lukas 9: 28b-36.MATA DAN TELINGA YANG BERJAGA Renungan kita pada hari ini bertema: Mata dan Telinga Yang Berjaga. Seorangpemuda untuk kali ketiganya berpacaran dan ia berpikir kalau kali ini mestimemberikan hasil positif. Dua kali sebelumnya selalu berakhir dengan kesedihanlantaran ada banyak ketidak-sesuaian. Ia mengevaluasi diri dan mengetahui bahwaada sisi negatif dari dirinya yang ikut menyebabkan kegagalan pacaran selamadua kali. Lalu ia bicarakan itu dengan kedua orang tuanya. Nasihat kedua orangtuanya begini: keputusan hati kita untuk berkata dan bertindak sangatbergantung pada kemampuan melihat dan mendengar.  Mata dan telinga kita harus senantiasa aktif untuk mendapatkan kenyataantentang orang lain yang kita kasihi. Ketika melihat bahwa orang di sampingmusedang sibuk dengan berbagai pekerjaan, atau ketika telinga mendengar kalauorang tersebut suaranya sudah tidak berdaya, keputusan hatimu akan menentukantindakan untuk memperhatikan dia. Pemuda itu mengamini nasihat itu dan bertekatuntuk membuat kesempatan pacaran yang ketiga kali itu berbuah baik dan bisameningkat menjadi hubungan ke jenjang perkawinan. Pada hari pesta Yesus menampakkan kemuliaan-Nya ini, Sabda Tuhanmengajarkan kita untuk mengalami kemuliaan dan kebesaran Tuhan melalui matakita yang melihat dan telinga kita yang mendengar. Ketiga bacaan menggambarkanpenglihatan dan pendengaran fisik yang dialami oleh nabi Daniel, rasul Petrusdan kedua rekannya. Mereka melihat penampakan Tuhan dan mendengar suara yangdatang langsung dari Tuhan. Suatu pengalaman iman yang secara langsung sepertiini sangat didambakan oleh banyak dari kita. Kita bagaikan terangkat setinggigunung Tabor tempat para rasul menyaksikan penampakan kemuliaan Tuhan. Saat ini hampir semua pengalaman iman kita ialah kejadian-kejadian tidaklangsung namun dipertandai secara langsung. Yesus bersabda dan menampakkankemuliaan-Nya melalui diri Bapa Suci, atau seorang imam, atau seorang saudarayang berbuat baik dan mengasihi kita. Yesus hadir secara pribadi langsungtetapi diperlambangkan oleh Roti Ekaristi yang selalu kita sembah dan santap.Yesus juga berdiri di mimbar dan bersabda secara langsung tetapi ditandai olehseorang pewarta. Pengalaman-pengalaman seperti ini sangat bernilai tinggi danmembantu pertumbuhan iman kita. Mata dan telinga kita sangat berperan untukpertumbuhan iman ini. Yang menjadi masalah ialah jika kita tidak mendengar dan melihat dengansuatu perhatian yang baik, kita bakal kehilangan pengalaman akan kemuliaanTuhan yang hadir di dalam diri sesama, alam lingkungan, dan peristiwa hidupkita.  Marilahkita berdoa. Dalam nama Bapa ... Ya Yesus yang baik, semoga kami selalu inginmelihat dan mendengarkan Dikau dalam setiap situasi hidup kami. Salam Mariapenuh rahmat ... Dalam nama Bapa ...

Last time we spoke about the battle along the Wusong Creek. The situation was dire for the Chinese defenders, who faced overwhelming odds. Among them was Ogishima, a Japanese soldier who experienced the brutal reality of war firsthand. Amidst the chaos, battles erupted along the Wusong Creek, where both sides suffered heavy casualties. Chinese forces, despite being greatly outnumbered in terms of tactical superiority, demonstrated extraordinary resilience, fighting bravely even when retreat was necessary. As the battle raged on, tactics evolved; Chinese troops fortified defenses and implemented guerrilla warfare strategies. The soldiers transformed the landscape into a fortification, turning abandoned buildings into strongholds. October brought a fresh wave of violence. The Japanese pressed their attack, unleashing superior firepower that gradually saw them conquer Dachang.    #161 The Battle of Shanghai #6: the 800 heroes who defended the Sihang Warehouse Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. Before the fall of Dachang, despite the threat of court-martial for anyone abandoning their posts, a general withdrawal of all Chinese forces in the Jiangwan salient was already in progress. As early as the night between October 24 and 25, the divisions within the salient had been ordered to move their baggage trains and support services back southwest across Suzhou Creek, utilizing the Zhongshan Bridge and Jessfield Railway Bridge. As the fighting intensified north of Zhabei in the subsequent days, the flow of soldiers, vehicles, and pack animals continued. By the night between October 26 and 27, the Chinese completely vacated metropolitan Shanghai north of Suzhou Creek. A foreign journalist wrot “The enormous Chinese army simply melted away and at dawn the Japanese found themselves facing empty positions. The two armies were no longer in contact.” During their retreat from Zhabei, the Chinese systematically set fire to thousands of shops and homes, implementing a scorched earth policy. At 7:00 am on October 27, eight narrow columns of smoke cut across the horizon from one end of Zhabei to the other. Two hours later, these columns had transformed into “huge black pillars stretching towards the azure sky.” By afternoon, a massive wall of smoke stretched four miles long, rising thousands of feet into the air. In the words of a German advisor, it was a fire “of unimaginable extent” that raged out of control for several days, repeatedly threatening to spill into the International Settlement. Refugees who had left Zhabei weeks or months earlier, hoping to return now that the fighting seemed to be over, were devastated to see their homes consumed by an immense sea of flames. The Japanese Army, or more specifically the doctrine guiding it in the field, failed in two significant ways by allowing some of China's best divisions to escape the trap they had set for them. First, on the evening of October 26, after taking Dachang, the Japanese columns could have advanced across Zhabei right to the edge of the International Settlement. Instead, they followed orders and ceased their advance at the line they had reached at sunset. German advisor Borchardt wrote “The only explanation for this is the lack of independent thinking among junior Japanese commanders and their fear of deviating even slightly from a meticulously detailed attack plan.  Since the Japanese focused on rallying and reorganizing their forces after the fall of Dachang, they missed an opportunity for a victory so decisive that the Chinese would have been forced to give up their continued resistance in Shanghai.” If the Japanese made their first mistake by leaving a door open for the enemy to escape, they committed a second error by failing to notice that the enemy was using that door. Although Japanese reconnaissance planes monitored the two main bridges utilized by the Chinese to retreat and even deployed parachute flares to detect movements at night, they inexplicably failed to observe the Chinese withdrawal. The retreat was executed precisely as planned, with every piece of artillery withdrawn. This allowed the Chinese to occupy prepared positions south of Suzhou Creek and around Nanxiang, enabling them to continue the fight another day. Despite their missteps, the Japanese initially celebrated their conquest of Zhabei as a victory, placing thousands of small Rising Sun flags throughout the district's ruins. Amid this sea of white and red, the only relatively intact structure, the Four Banks' Warehouse, starkly reminded them that the Chinese still maintained a foothold north of Suzhou Creek. Rumors began to circulate that the soldiers inside had vowed to fight to the death. The Japanese came to realize that their triumph in Zhabei would be perceived as flawed and would even resemble a defeat as long as the warehouse remained in Chinese hands. It was back on October 26, Chiang Kai-shek ordered all forces in Shanghai to withdraw to the western rural region. To facilitate a safe retreat, a rearguard was necessary, as is standard in military withdrawals. Chiang issued orders to General Gu Zhutong, the acting commander of the 3rd Military Region, to leave the 88th Division behind, not only to buy time for the retreating forces but also to stage a final grand stand in front of the Shanghai International Settlement. This was a last-ditch effort to gain international support, as the nine Great Powers were set to convene on November 6. However, General Gu Zhutong was personally attached to the 88th Division, and thus reluctant to abandon them. It's worth noting that he was acting commander in this position because his next post was to lead the 88th Division. Therefore, he telegrammed the divisional commander at the time, General Sun Yuanliang, who also opposed the plan to leave the 88th Division behind. While neither Gu Zhutong nor Sun Yuanliang were willing to disobey orders from the Generalissimo, Sun proposed a solution: They could leave a portion of the troops behind, just not the entire 88th Division. In his words, “How many people we sacrifice would not make a difference; it would achieve the same purpose.” Sun suggested leaving behind a single regiment from the 88th Division to defend one or two heavily fortified positions. Gu Zhutong agreed to this plan, and at that time, the 88th Divisional Headquarters was located at the Sihang Warehouse. The Sihang Warehouse is a six-story concrete building situated in the Zhabei district, just north of Suzhou Creek, at the northwestern edge of the New Lese Bridge. The warehouse was constructed collaboratively by four banks, hence the name "Sihang," which translates to "four banks." Directly across Suzhou Creek lies the Shanghai International Settlement, a neutral territory where Western foreigners resided. The fighting would occur literally just across the creek, forcing Western observers to witness the heroic last stand that China would make in Shanghai up close. For those who might not be aware, there is an outstanding film titled “The Eight Hundred.” I even reviewed the movie on my channel, the Pacific War Channel, on YouTube. The film excellently captures the remarkable situation, depicting an extravagant city on one side of a river, filled with entertainment, casinos, bars, and restaurants. The international community enjoys their vibrant lives, full of colors and lights, while on the other side lies a literal warzone. The Sihang Warehouse stands there, bullet-ridden, as the Japanese continuously attempt to storm it against the Chinese defenders. It's a compelling film worth checking out, feel free to take a look at my review as well! Returning to the story, Sun Yuanliang reconsidered and believed that leaving an entire regiment was excessive. Instead, he opted to leave behind an over-strength battalion. The 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment was chosen for this task. A young colonel, Xie Jinyuan, who was also new to the 88th Division, volunteered to lead the battalion. No one who had met Xie Jinyuan could doubt that he was the ideal choice to lead the battalion that would stay behind, holed up inside the Sihang Warehouse in a corner of Zhabei, demonstrating to both the domestic and international audience that China remained resolute in its resistance against Japanese aggression. The 32-year-old graduate of the elite Central Military Academy, who had been stationed in Shanghai with the 88th Division since hostilities began in August, was a soldier to the core. He stood as straight as a bayonet, and according to a foreign correspondent who met him, even while wearing a mask, he was unmistakably a military man. In the correspondent's words, he represented “modern China stripped for action.” Upon receiving his assignment on the night of October 26, Xie Jinyuan went directly to the warehouse and was pleased with what he found. It resembled a virtual fortress. Each of its walls was pockmarked with numerous rifle slots, ensuring that attacking infantry would face a barrage of fire from the building's well-defended positions. It was evident that once the Japanese arrived, they would surround the structure on three sides; however, a link remained to the International Settlement to the south across Lese Bridge. British forward positions were as close as 40 feet away, and with careful maneuvering and a bit of luck, it was likely that the injured could be evacuated under the cover of darkness. From a tactical standpoint, it was an ideal location.   Still, improvements were possible, and Xie ordered the soldiers already present to work through the night to enhance their defenses. They had an ample supply of large bags filled with wheat and corn at their disposal, which served as excellent substitutes for sandbags. Xie Jinyuan's first challenge was to rally the soldiers of the 524th Regiment's 1st Battalion to occupy the warehouse positions. This was a complex task, given the short notice, as the companies and platoons were scattered throughout Zhabei, and some had unknowingly begun moving west with the rest of the Chinese Army, unaware of the orders their battalion had received. Throughout the night, Xie and his second-in-command, Yang Ruifu, dispatched orderlies through the blazing streets in search of their men amidst the throng of retreating soldiers. Eventually, their efforts bore fruit. By 9:00 a.m. on October 27, the last remaining soldiers of the battalion arrived at the warehouse. By then, Xie Jinyuan's force consisted of just over 400 officers and soldiers. This was a minuscule number compared to the might of the Japanese military, and they were immediately put to the test. Xie was unfamiliar with the men under his command, effectively being thrown into the deep end, so to speak. The location chosen for their stand was, of course, the Sihang Warehouse. The 1st Battalion originally comprised eight hundred men, but casualties incurred during the Battle of Shanghai had reduced their numbers to just 452 soldiers before the defense of the Sihang Warehouse began. Each soldier was armed with either a Hanyang 88 or Chiang Kai-shek rifle, an 8mm Mauser, grenades, a German M1935 Stahlhelm, a gas mask, and they also had some Czech ZB vz.26 light machine guns, along with four Type 24 Maxim guns. They would face off against the forces of the 3rd IJA Division, commanded by General Iwane Matsui, as well as the 10th Battalion, 8th, and 9th Companies of the Shanghai Special Naval Landing Force under Captain Okochi Denshichi. The Japanese forces were further bolstered by approximately 260 sailors from the Yokosuka 2nd Independent SNLF Company and another 200 sailors from the Kure 1st SNLF 2nd Company. Additionally, the 8th and 9th Companies of the Shanghai SNLF, originally attached to the 4th Artillery Battalion, would provide support with howitzers and mountain guns. In total, around 980 infantrymen from the reinforced 10th Battalion of the Shanghai SNLF, along with another 200 artillerymen from the 8th and 9th Companies, were involved in the Japanese assault on the Sihang Warehouse. Xie Jinyuan consolidated his battalion's defenses inside the Sihang Warehouse, believing it would provide his men the highest chance of holding out for as long as possible. He correctly assessed that the Imperial Japanese Army would be unable to use their heaviest artillery, aerial bombardment, gas attacks, or naval guns for fear of accidentally striking the International Settlement. It's important to remember that this was 1937, and the Empire of Japan was not willing to risk open warfare with Western nations until 1941. What the Japanese did have access to were armored vehicles, such as the Type 94 tankettes. The Japanese infantry were equipped with various weapons, including the Arisaka Type 38 rifle, Type 11 and Type 96 light machine guns, the Nambu Type 14 pistol, Type 92 heavy machine gun, Type 97 grenade, Type 89 grenade discharger, and the Type 93 flamethrower. On October 27, various companies of the battalion reached the Sihang Warehouse after a fighting withdrawal. By this point, they numbered 414 men, who essentially volunteered for a suicide mission and were later acknowledged by Chiang Kai-shek for their “exemplary soldierly conduct.” The 1st Battalion was commanded by Army Major Yang Ruifu, and their forces included the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Companies, as well as a Machine Gun Company, totaling 452 men once the remaining soldiers arrived. Due to two months of intense fighting in Shanghai, many of the German-trained elite troops had been killed or wounded, leaving the majority of the reinforcements at the Sihang Warehouse to be garrison troops from the surrounding provinces. Many of these soldiers came from the 5th Regiment of the Hubei Province Garrison, which meant that many were also inexperienced recruits. On October 27, news began to circulate throughout Shanghai that Chinese forces were still resisting the Japanese in the Zhabei district at the Sihang Warehouse. At 4 a.m., a Girl Guide named Yang Huimin approached a British guard at a post at the Chinese end of the New Lese Bridge, where she noticed a British soldier tossing a pack of cigarettes into the warehouse. Yang asked the soldier what he was doing, and he informed her that there was a battalion of Chinese soldiers inside. She then wrote a message and requested that the soldier place it inside a cigarette box and toss it over. Soon, the Chinese tossed back the cigarette box with a message indicating they needed food, ammunition, and lubricant for their weapons. Yang then left the bridge and began pleading for help at the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, but no one believed her story. Xie Jinyuan deployed the 1st Company, led by Captain Tao Xingchun, on the right side of the warehouse along Tibet Road. The 3rd Company, led by Shi Meihao, was stationed on the left across from the Bank of Communications building, while the 2nd Company, commanded by Deng Ying, held the other sides. Two heavy Type 24 Maxim machine guns were mounted on the roof of the Sihang Warehouse, with additional machine guns distributed among each company. A forward platoon from each company was sent out to provide early warning of any enemy attack. Furthermore, Xie ordered his combat engineers to place remote-detonated charges in front of the warehouse. His units were strategically dispersed with rifles and machine guns throughout the warehouse and on the rooftop. They reinforced the building with bags of sand, corn, and beans, and razed surrounding structures to create a deadly killing field. At 7:30 am an advance outpost reported seeing Japanese marines near the North Train Station, and 45 minutes later, it confirmed that the enemy's flag was flying over that building. The Chinese soldiers were ordered to engage the advancing IJA 3rd division, and over the next two hours, they executed a fighting retreat back toward the warehouse. A brief pause ensued, during which the Chinese defenders prepared themselves, with some taking up positions on the various floors of the warehouse and others crouching behind an outer wall surrounding the building. At 1:00 pm a Japanese column approached the warehouse, confidently marching down the middle of the road behind a large Rising Sun banner. It appeared more like a victory parade than a tactical maneuver. Once they were in range, the Chinese officers ordered their men to fire. Five Japanese soldiers fell, causing the rest of the column to scramble for cover. Within an hour, the Japanese had amassed enough troops to attempt a storming assault on the warehouse. A sizable force surrounded the building, unleashing so much firepower that the Chinese were forced to abandon the outer wall and retreat to the warehouse itself. Although the defenses remained solid, the crisis was far from over, and the attackers appeared to have gained dangerous momentum The first bloodshed occurred when ten IJA soldiers were killed while attempting to secure fortifications around the warehouse that had been rigged with explosives. At 2 p.m., a National Revolutionary Army  platoon led by Yin Qiucheng exchanged fire with approximately fifty IJA troops. By 3 pm, an IJA company consisting of around 194 men launched an attack on the warehouse from the west. During this engagement, the 3rd Company commander, Shi Meihao, was shot in the face but continued to lead the defense until he was shot again in the leg. Meanwhile, about seventy IJA soldiers took cover in a blind spot just southwest of the warehouse. In response, the NRA climbed to the rooftop and threw grenades at the IJA, killing seven and wounding twenty. The initial assault by the IJA was a failure, prompting them to set fire to the northwestern section of the warehouse, where fuel and lumber were stored. By 5 pm., firefighter efforts had extinguished the blaze, as the IJA were preoccupied with looting the Zhabei area. At this point, Yang Ruifu, the second-in-command, commanded a dozen soldiers to rush to the roof and lob hand grenades at the Japanese forces below. This counterattack halted the Japanese advance. As the Japanese withdrew, they left behind seven dead. Much of the fighting was closely watched by excited Chinese on the other side of the 60-yard Suzhou Creek. Each time news spread of another Japanese soldier being killed, a triumphant cheer erupted from the crowd. At 9 pm, battalion commander Yang Ruifu assessed that there would likely be no further IJA attacks that day and ordered the NRA to repair their fortifications and eat their meals. However, no one slept that night. The NRA suffered two deaths and four wounded, while the IJA reported seventeen dead and twenty wounded. Foreign correspondents witnessed the battle from the safety of Suzhou Creek, enjoying a front-row seat to the harsh reality of urban combat. One reporter observed a small group of Japanese soldiers cautiously approaching the warehouse, navigating through the broken masonry and twisted metal. Crawling from cover to cover, it took them 50 minutes to traverse just 50 yards. The Chinese defenders, watching from concealed vantage points, had been monitoring their movements all along. Once the Japanese party was close enough, the defenders unleashed a barrage of hand grenades. After the dust settled, they used their rifles to finish off anyone still able to move. Several Japanese attempting to rescue their wounded comrades were also killed. It was a war without mercy. Even after darkness fell over the warehouse, there was no time for sleep. The soldiers worked tirelessly to repair damages and reinforce their positions.  The next morning, Xie Jinyuan contacted the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce for assistance, having received their phone number from Yang Huimin. At 7 am on October 28, Japanese bombers began to circle the warehouse but refrained from dropping any bombs for fear of hitting the International Settlement. Surrounding the rooftops of nearby buildings was a sea of Rising Sun flags, serving to intimidate the NRA and signal that they were encircled. By 8 am, Xie delivered a pep talk to the defenders and noticed an IJA squad advancing along the Suzhou Creek. According to Yang Ruifu's memoirs, Xie picked up a rifle and shot one of the IJA soldiers from over a kilometer away, halting the squad's advance. At 3 pm, it began to rain as the IJA launched a major attack on the west side of the warehouse, taking control of the Bank of Communications building. From there, they deployed machine guns and cannons to bombard the north face of the warehouse. However, the cannons were unable to significantly damage the six-foot-thick walls, and the Japanese troops in the bank building were easily suppressed by the defenders on the warehouse roof, who enjoyed a superior vantage point. After two hours of fighting, the Japanese gave up on the attack but managed to cut electricity and water to the warehouse. Yang Ruifu ordered strict rationing, with each company placing its water reserves under guard and collecting urine in large barrels for firefighting purposes if necessary. Witnessing the fierce Chinese resistance, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce was invigorated, and news of the stand quickly spread via radio. Crowds of 30,000 people gathered along the southern bank of the Suzhou Creek, cheering the defenders on. In response, ten truckloads of aid were donated by Shanghai citizens, making their way over the bridge to the warehouse throughout the night. The defenders received food, fruit, clothing, utensils, and letters of support from the citizens. A few journalists attempted to visit, but due to the commanding officers being busy, they only managed to meet with Lei Xiong, the Machine Gun Company commander. Xie Jinyuan also utilized the same trucks to transport ten wounded men into the International Settlement. During these truck transit actions, three NRA soldiers were killed by Japanese sharpshooters. Yang Huimin courageously ran to the warehouse to personally deliver the Republic of China flag to Xie Jinyuan. Upon receiving the flag, Xie was asked by a reporter about his plans, to which he simply replied, “Defend to the death.” Yang Huimin then requested a list of the soldiers' names to announce to the entire country. However, Xie was reluctant to provide this information, fearing it would reveal his actual numbers and prompt the Japanese to storm the warehouse. Instead, he wrote down 800 names from the original 524th Regiment's roster. Thus, the legend of the “800 Heroes” was born. The next morning, the Republic of China flag was hoisted on a thirteen-foot pole atop the Sihang Warehouse. Since Yang Huimin had only delivered the flag without a pole, the defenders constructed a makeshift pole using two bamboo culms tied together, holding a flag-raising ceremony. Crowds gathered in the International Settlement, reaching up to thirty thousand in number, shouting “Zhōnghuá Mínguó wànsu!” (Long live the Republic of China). Japanese aircraft attempted to destroy the flag with strafing fire but were unsuccessful and were forced to retreat due to anti-aircraft fire. At noon, the IJA launched their largest offensive to date, attacking the warehouse from all directions with Type 94 tankettes and cannons. The 3rd NRA Company was pushed out of their defensive lines to the base of the warehouse and then further into the warehouse itself. The IJA's cannon fire chipped away at the warehouse structure, creating new firing ports on the windowless west wall. The Japanese attempted to scale the walls to the second floor using ladders. Xie Jinyuan was positioned near a window when two IJA soldiers managed to climb into the second floor beside him. He choked the first soldier to death and shot the other while kicking over the ladder they had used. The situation became dire as a platoon of IJA soldiers began placing explosives to breach the west wall. As the battle raged on, the IJA platoon continued planting explosives at the base of the west wall in an effort to breach it. When the Chinese defenders noticed what they were doing, 21-year-old Private Chen Shusheng, armed with a grenade vest, jumped from a second-story window onto the IJA platoon that was planting the explosives. His suicide attack killed himself and twenty Japanese soldiers below. The fighting continued until darkness fell, with waves of IJA soldiers storming the warehouse using armored vehicles. Ultimately, the IJA had to abandon their assault and began digging a tunnel towards the warehouse with an excavator. In response, posters emerged in the International Settlement, showcasing the movement of the IJA to the NRA. At 7 am, on October 30, the IJA recommenced their attacks, this time employing heavy artillery, firing approximately one shell per second throughout the day. The NRA responded by reinforcing the warehouse with additional sandbags. As night approached, the IJA utilized floodlights to illuminate the warehouse, allowing their artillery fire to continue unabated. Despite the overwhelming firepower, the defenders still managed to destroy some of the IJA's armored vehicles. The International Settlement exerted pressure on the IJA to cease the artillery fire, as it was dangerously close to their area. They informed the IJA that they would attempt to persuade the NRA to end their defense. A petition was sent to Chiang Kai-shek to stop the fighting for humanitarian reasons. By this point, the defense of the Sihang Warehouse had accomplished all its objectives. The NRA forces in Shanghai had successfully redeployed to more favorable positions in the rural west. Moreover, the defense of the warehouse had garnered significant attention from the Western world. Consequently, Chiang Kai-shek authorized a retreat. Chiang Kai-shek ordered the battalion to retreat into the foreign concession and to rejoin the 88th Division, which was now fighting in western Shanghai. A meeting was arranged with British General Telfer-Smollet and Yan Hu of the Shanghai Auxiliary Police to facilitate the retreat. The 524th Regiment would retreat to the International Settlement by crossing the New Lese Bridge. The 3rd IJA Division commander, Matsui Iwane, was notified of this plan and agreed, promising to allow the defenders to retreat unharmed, although he would ultimately not fulfill this promise. At midnight on November 1, Xie Jinyuan led the retreat of 376 men out of the warehouse and across the New Lese Bridge into the International Settlement. Ten NRA soldiers had been killed, and twenty-seven were too wounded to move; those soldiers volunteered to stay behind and man the machine guns on the rooftop to provide cover for the retreat. During the crossing, ten additional NRA soldiers were wounded by IJA sharpshooter fire. By 2 a.m. on November 1, the retreat was complete, marking the end of the defense of the Sihang Warehouse. After the battle, Xie Jinyuan reported that more than 100 Japanese troops had been killed by the defenders. General Sun Yuanliang stated, “Enemy corpses in the vicinity of Sihang Warehouse totaled approximately two hundred.” Xie Jimin claimed, “More than 200 enemy troops were killed and countless others were wounded. Two enemy tanks were also destroyed, and two more were damaged. The number of enemies was based on the daily counts obtained by observation posts.” The NRA suffered ten deaths and thirty-seven wounded, while the IJA incurred an estimated two hundred killed, along with several others wounded. However, a Japanese report indicated that after the SNLF 10th Battalion stormed the Sihang Warehouse, they found only 80 Chinese corpses. As of 2022, historians now estimate that 377 Chinese soldiers managed to retreat, suggesting that the actual death toll for the Chinese was likely around 33. The Battle of Shanghai was arguably unwinnable for the Chinese from the outset. It was only a matter of time before the Japanese would gain the upper hand due to their material and technological advantages. As the fighting dragged on, with the Japanese capturing stronghold after stronghold in the countryside surrounding the city, the immense toll exacted on the defenders led a growing number of Chinese generals to question the wisdom of clinging to a city that was ultimately destined to fall. They pushed for a more comprehensive withdrawal rather than the tactical retreat from Zhabei and Jiangwan that had already taken place. Otherwise, thousands more soldiers would die in vain. Moreover, there were serious concerns about morale taking a devastating hit, which could compromise China's ability to continue the fight. This was becoming a pressing issue. Chinese troops, who had initially entered the battle with an upbeat and patriotic spirit, gradually lost their fervor as casualties mounted in a seemingly hopeless battle. Once a division was reduced to one-third of its original strength, it was sent to the rear for reorganization and replenishment before being returned to the frontline. Most soldiers perceived the odds of survival as heavily stacked against them. Despite regular visits to the front, Chiang Kai-shek remained largely unaware of these grim realities. Officers who understood the true conditions in the trenches were also familiar with the supreme commander's stubborn nature and his determination to defend Shanghai to the bitter end. Given the circumstances, they felt it unwise to reveal the full truth to him. This charade could not continue indefinitely. In some units, the situation was deteriorating so rapidly that it became increasingly likely soldiers would simply abandon their positions. With mutiny looming as a possibility, senior commanders sought to persuade Chiang Kai-shek that a complete withdrawal of all Chinese troops from the Shanghai area to a fortified line stretching from Suzhou to Jiaxing, a city about 35 miles to the south, was the only viable option. In early November, General Bai Chongxi informed Chiang that the officers at the front could no longer control their men and that a pullback would serve as a face-saving measure, forestalling potential rebellion within the ranks. However, nothing they said seemed to impress Chiang Kai-shek. General Li Zongren, another officer who had previously attempted to advocate for a retreat, realized that arguing with the man at the top was futile. “War plans were decided by him personally, and no one else was allowed to say anything,” Li noted in his memoirs. Despite this, there were moments when Chiang appeared tantalizingly close to being swayed by the views of his lieutenants. As early as the first days of October, he seemed to favor a withdrawal from the front, only to reverse his decision later. A similar situation arose late in the month when Chiang called a meeting with his frontline commanders in a train carriage at Songjiang Railway Station, southwest of Shanghai. Before his arrival, the generals discussed the battle and concluded they could do little against the enemy's superior firepower. Upon Chiang's arrival, Zhang Fakui, the commander of the troops in Pudong, suggested moving ten divisions to prepared positions further in the rear, where defense would be easier than in Shanghai. The majority agreed with this proposal. At this point, Madame Chiang Kai-shek made her entrance, dressed in an expensive fur coat and fresh from a visit to the Shanghai front. “If we can hold Shanghai for ten more days,” she declared, “China will win international sympathy.” She was vague about the specifics but seemed to be referring to the upcoming Brussels conference. This declaration galvanized Chiang. “Shanghai must be held at all costs,” he asserted with firm conviction, as if that had been his sentiment all along.

As Chinese troops retreated across Suzhou Creek, a small battalion under Colonel Xie Jinyuan held their ground, transforming the warehouse into a fortress. Despite fierce attacks, including artillery and tank assaults, they showcased unparalleled bravery. Reinforced by messages of support from locals, spirits soared. Amidst mounting casualties, they persisted until a strategic retreat was ordered. As dawn broke on November 1, Xie led the remaining troops to safety, leaving behind a legacy of valor that inspired future generations. Thus, the "800 Heroes" legend was born.

Bilangan 12: 1-13; Mazmur tg 51: 3-4.5-6a.6bc-7.12-13; Matius 14: 22-36.ORANG BUTA JANGAN MENUNTUN ORANG BUTA Renungan pada hari ini bertema: Orang Buta Jangan MenuntunOrang Buta. Pekerjaan menuntun sama kualitasnya dengan membimbing, mengarahkandan mengajarkan. Ini mengandaikan bahwa yang menuntun itu adalah orang yanglebih berkualitas dibandingkan dengan yang dituntun. Misalnya guru menuntunmurid-murid dan orang tua menuntun anak-anak atau cucu-cucu. Tuhan menyelenggarakan hidup kita dengan suatu modelpembelajaran untuk menjadi sesuatu yang diharapkan. Dunia binatang saja secaranatural juga berlaku hukum ini, apalagi manusia yang punya peradaban, di manaakal budi dan imannya menjadi instrumen mendasar yang dipakai untuk menuntundan mengajarkan. Orang-orangpilihan Allah seperti nabi, rasul dan imam dikaruniai kemampuan ini. Tugas istimewa ini bisa lebih dipandang sebagai suatuprivilese atau keistimewaan.  Orang-orang pilihan sangat menyadari tentang hal ini. Sama seperti seorang Uskupatau imam atau presiden dengan tugas-tugasnya yang istimewa, ia terdorong untuk menjalankannya secara bertanggungjawab dan adil. Tetapi di sisi lain, orang yang iri atau tidak suka dengan keistimewaan ini pasti memandangnya sebagaisesuatu yang tidak adil, tidak wajar dan tidak benar. Biasanya ada pengaruh Setan yang memenuhi mereka dengan ambisi berkuasa, lalumenginginkan posisi atau privilese tadi.  Itu yang terjadi dengan perhatian dan belas kasih Tuhan kepada bangsa Israelyang dalam pembuangan Babel, namun diterangi oleh nubuat nabi Yeremia bahwapembebasan mereka sungguh terjadi. Nubuatini dilawan oleh orang-orang yang tidak suka dengan kehendak Tuhan. Mereka seperti orang buta yang menuntun bangsaIsrael yang buta sedang menuju ke tanah asalnya. Kelakuan mereka mirip dengan orang-orang Farisi yangdikecam oleh Yesus. Merekamelawan Tuhan Yesus Kristus. Kejadian yang digambarkan oleh bacaan Injil pada hari inicukup menjelaskan kepada kita bahwa iman yang kecil atau lemah seperti yangditunjukkan oleh rasul Petrus, tidak bisa diandalkan untuk membimbing danmengajarkan orang lain yang belum kuat imannya. Yang sudah terjadi ialah orangyang salah beriman seperti orang Farisi menganggap diri mampu membimbing oranglain. Padahal itu sama dengan orang buta menuntun orang buta. Bisa jadi mereka bersama-samajatuh ke dalam kehancuran. Atau lebih parah, bisa jadi mereka menjurumuskanorang-orang ke dalam lembah dosa, sementara mereka tahu untuk meluputkandirinya. Untuk menghindari ini, satu nasihat bijaksana buat kita ialah:janganlah menjadi yang buta menuntun yang buta. Rasul Petrus kini telah menjadi model iman kita, karenaimannya sudah sejati. Marilah kita berdoa. Dalam nama Bapa... Ya Tuhan dan Allahkami, semoga di dalam rahmat-Mu kami dapat mengisi seluruh hari ini selaludengan perkataan dan perbuatan yang mengakui kebesaran-Mu dan memuliakannama-Mu. Salam Maria penuh rahmat... Dalam nama Bapa...

Pengkhotbah 1: 2; 2: 21-23; Mazmur tg 90: 3-4.5-6.12-13.14.17; Kolose 3: 1-5.9-11; Lukas 12: 13-21.BERHARAP MENJADI KAYA Tema renungan kita pada hari Minggu Biasa ke-18 ini ialah: Berharap MenjadiKaya. Secara natural manusia di dunia cenderung menjadikan barang, sesamamanusia, benda dan hal-hal non materi untuk menjadi miliknya. Kecenderunganuntuk menjadi kaya bagi manusia merupakan hal biasa. Ini adalah sifat yangmelekat pada pribadi manusia dan keluarga atau kelompok orang. Harapan menjadikaya di dunia ini menjadi keinginan yang mendasar. Satu keluarga mempunyai kebiasaan berdoa bersama sudah berjalan sejak lama,terutama pada malam hari sebelum atau sesudah makan. Setiap orang salingmengingatkan untuk kesempatan istimewa itu supaya semua dapat terlibat. Ketikasatu atau dua anggota keluarga agak terlambat karena urusan pekerjaan di luarrumah, anggota yang lain rela menunggu. Bagi yang berada di luar daerah,berusaha berdoa sendiri, agar sama dengan yang ada di rumah. Intinya, setiapanggota keluarga menjadikan doa bersama itu sebagai sebuah quality time, kesempatan yang sangat berharga. Absen, berarti rugibagi yang bersangkutan. Dengan memanfaatkan sungguh-sungguh kesempatan istimewa tersebut, keluargaitu benar-benar menikmati yang namanya kekayaan yang dimiliki  baik sebagai pribadi maupun bersama dalamkeluarga. Yang dimaksudkan kekayaan itu, paling kurang ada tiga unsur yangpenting di sini. Pertama ialah rasa memiliki satu sama lain sebagai satukeluarga. Di sini ada keluarga atau home, jadi tidak bergantung pada rumah,perlengkapan, uang dan barang-barang dunia ini. Setiap pribadi salingmemperhatikan dan berhubungan supaya dapat dihindari seseorang yang tidakterhitung. Kedua, rasa memiliki itu dipertahankan dengan ikatan kebutuhan yangmempersatukan sebagai keluarga. Belum tentu orang-orang punya rasa memiliki,menjadi sebuah kekuatan dan sangat bernilai, jika mereka tidak memperkuatpersekutuan sebagai keluarga atau komunitas. Cara memperkuatkannya ialah denganpertemuan atau perjumpaan yang rutin. Rasa cinta dan kebutuhan untuk melengkapisatu sama lain akan semakin kuat jika orang secara rutin bertemu danberinteraksi. Ketiga, sebuah kebersamaan itu adalah dalam dan bersama Tuhan. Doa bersama,pelayanan dan pengutamaan kemuliaan kerajaan Allah adalah gaya hidup parapengikut Kristus. Jika orang-orang kristiani dan pengikut Kristus memilih hanyadua unsur pertama tadi dan tidak dilengkapi yang ketiga ini, mereka belum dapatdikatakan memiliki kekayaan yang sesungguhnya. Hendaknya kita berharap untukterpenuhi kekayaan-kekayaan ini: rasa memiliki sebagai sesama, persekutuansebagai anak-anak Allah, dan kemuliaan kerajaan Allah. Jangan membuat hidupmenjadi sia-sia hanya karena ketiga hal ini tidak diindahkan. Marilahkita berdoa. Dalam nama Bapa ... Ya Allah, berkatilah kami agar perayaan hariMinggu ini menjadi kekuatan baru bagi kami, yaitu menjadikan Dikau sebagaikekayaan kami yang utama. Salam Maria penuh rahmat ... Dalam nama Bapa ...

Pasrah berarti menyerah dan berhenti untukmelanjutkan entah itu pembicaraan atau perbuatan. Namun itu bukan putus asaditambah dengan kekecewaan dan kesedihan. Sikap pasrah masih menyisahkan ruangyang cukup buat berharap, bahwa yang dapat memberikan solusi bisa pihak lainseperti waktu, orang lain, keberuntungan, bahkan Tuhan. Yang paling umum ialah pasrah kita kepada Tuhan. Misalnya pertengkaranantara dua pihak yang tak kunjung selesai. Solusi kekeluargaan, keagamaan danhukum sipil sudah tak mampu menyelesaikannya. Pihak yang merasa tidak beruntungselalu mempersoalkan sehingga masalah semakin berlarut-larut. Karena yakin takada gunanya lagi berusaha, mereka pasrah saja. Harapan terakhir ialah padaTuhan yang memutuskan dan mengadili. Pengadilannya nanti setelah mati, dansetiap orang wajib bertanggung jawab atas hidupnya. Contoh ini menggambarkan bagaimana Tuhan yang menentukan di akhirperjalanan atau persisnya persoalan-persoalan yang kita hadapi. Yesusmemberikan kita perumpamaan yang pas untuk ini, yaitu bahwa pada akhirnyapengadilan di surga itu akan memutuskan siapa yang benar dan siapa yang salah.Tuhan tidak memberikan keputusan besar dan akhir ketika masih ada waktu buatmanusia berproses dan bertumbuh. Tuhan sangat sabar dan toleran untukmemberikan kesempatan yang cukup supaya manusia yang terlanjur jelek dan berdosadapat berubah menjadi baik, sebelum ia akhirnya mati.  Strategi ini tentu saja berlawanan dengan cara manusia yang ingin menangdan mengalahkan orang lain. Seakan-akan suka cita kemenangan yang dicapai sudahfinal atau kesedihan karena kalah sudah selesai. Padahal itu hanyalahsepotong-sepotong persoalan yang datang dan pergi, maka itu belum dikatakanfinal. Standar pengadilan kita hanya untuk hidup di dunia ini, sedangkanpengadilan yang jauh lebih tinggi dan final ialah standarnya Tuhan. Karena itupenentuan dari Tuhan adalah akhir dan menentukan keselamatan abadi atau hukumanabadi. Seperti Musa dan umat Israel yang dibimbing oleh kuasa Allah selamapengembaraannya di padang gurun, kita juga dibimbing dalam ziarah kita di duniaini sampai akhirnya kita mencapai pengadilan terakhir. Kita hanya punya pilihanuntuk percaya dan menerima pengadilan itu, sebab takut bahkan menolaknyaberarti kita menolak Tuhan sendiri. Marilahkita berdoa. Dalam nama Bapa... Ya Tuhan Yesus Kristus, pengajaran-Mu melaluiperumpamaan tentang pukat sungguh mengingatkan kami untuk menyongsongpengadilan terakhir bagi kami masing-masing. Semoga kami senantiasa menantikansaat itu dengan penuh iman dan optimisme. Bapa kami yang ada di surga ...Dalamnama Bapa ...

Di episode podcast kali ini akan membahas penting tidaknya belajar bahasa Inggris di era AI saat ini. Bersama tamu spesial, seorang trainer bahasa Inggris, Miss Yuli, dan dipandu oleh Tanadi Santoso, diskusi ini menyuguhkan sudut pandang baru bahwa teknologi sebaik apa pun tetap tidak bisa menggantikan sentuhan manusia dalam komunikasi.Teknologi AI kini mampu menerjemahkan percakapan secara real-time, bahkan hanya dengan earbud atau aplikasi kamera. Tapi bagaimana jika baterai habis saat sedang presentasi penting? Atau bagaimana menjalin koneksi emosional dengan lawan bicara yang bukan mesin? Episode ini membahas bahwa kemampuan berbahasa bukan sekadar bisa ngomong, tapi menyampaikan dengan percaya diri. Sehingga kemampuan berbahasa tetaplah menjadi skill esensial, apalagi di dunia kerja yang makin global dan kompetitif.Yang menarik, Anda juga akan mendapatkan insight praktis seputar how to learn English the fun way. Miss Yuli berbagi teknik mengajar grammar yang out of the box, seperti analogi "S karena butuh teman" hingga permainan reflektif yang menyadarkan bahwa Anda sebenarnya tahu banyak kosakata, tetapi hanya belum sadar saja. Selain membahas pentingnya bahasa Inggris, Miss Yuli juga membahas bagaimana cara menikmatinya sebagai proses yang menguatkan rasa percaya diri.Tanadi Santoso sendiri juga membagikan kisah-kisah nyata bagaimana ia terjun langsung ke dunia presentasi berbahasa Inggris, termasuk saat "dipaksa" tampil di depan audiens global. Dari pengalaman itu, muncul pesan yang kuat, kita tidak perlu sempurna untuk memulai, kita hanya perlu cukup berani untuk mencoba. Karena ternyata, kemampuan bahasa Inggris bukan soal grammar semata tetapi soal keberanian untuk tampil, salah, dan tumbuh. Sehingga mempelajari bahasa Inggris di tengah kemudahan teknologi tidak hanya "perlu", tetapi semakin relevan."AI can speak for you, but AI will never be you".

本期是斯里兰卡系列的第1期。从今天起，将连续推出“斯里兰卡”专题，斯里兰卡之所以能激发我（Yang）的兴趣，不仅仅因为它的景色美、是众多西方的明星和作家流连忘返的东方风情代表地，更是因为它的被殖民史、长达26年的内战和丰富多元的文化像拼图一样交错。我个人认为，这是一颗耀眼但偶尔蒙尘的宝石，能够折射出整个世界的风云变幻。理解了它，可能就理解了在世界其它地方或者是自己身边发生过的事。所以，我和贝贝花了 20 天的时间去旅行，东南西北都走了，也去认识当地人，更做了大量的资料，在接下来的系列节目里，我们将试着把把看到的和了解到的一起分享给你。今天的“壮游者”是苏鹏，他是斯里兰卡人，在2014年到2015 年曾在广西大学留学，2018年和一位中国姑娘结婚，也有了两个孩子，现在定居斯里兰卡。我们是在他生日当天（3月4日）抵达他在斯里兰卡的家的，中午也顺便蹭了一顿饭，一起聊了聊一个斯里兰卡青年成长过程中所经历过的事情。我们是在斯里兰卡之旅最后时段见面的，但我想把这期节目放在系列的最前面，算是个开场白，由苏鹏这个当地人先领进门，说一声“欢迎光临”，让你对这个国家和这里的人先有一个认识，然后，再跟随我和贝贝一点点地去探索。|故事节点|02:26 34岁生日的一天07:13 学校里的宗教课 16:02 斯里兰卡高考么？18:20 因武术而学中文21:13 真正的文化冲击从跨国婚姻后开始26:19 在河南过春节30:43 就业首选也是当公务员 32:44 未来想开个中国面馆35:00 内战期间：“躲过”了一次恐袭40:03 国家“破产”后的日子44:59 听友提问：你可以完全不杀生么？特别致谢：1、感谢苏鹏的太太玉娇做的大餐，一解乡愁。2、感谢《对外汉语谈话录》播客的孟老师介绍，才得以认识苏鹏。下期预告：7月30日（明日）将推出“斯里兰卡”第2期，我们将去到“小罗马”尼甘布，去看下殖民者给这个国家留下的文化影响。然后再去往和阿努拉德普勒的世界文化遗产区，了解下这里为何成为上座部佛教的发源地。|壮游者|苏鹏:Supen，斯里兰卡男青年，武术爱好者，职业导游。|主播|Yang:一个来自“娘家”的男青年。壮游者是一档独立播客，很需要你的支持。1、商务合作请邮件至zhuangyouzhe@126.com,或者添加微信“zhuangyouzhe2018”2、请通过ZFB账号zhuangyouzhe@126.com对“壮游者”进行赞助；也可通过微信公众号“壮游者”文章(本期相关细节图片也在文章里呈现)下方的“喜欢作者”以及节目下方的“赞赏”对单期节目进行赞助。3、请订阅、转发、评论和点赞节目，并在你使用的收听平台为“壮游者”专辑打五星好评。加听友群可微信添加"zhuangyouzhe2018"，与主播和听友直接交流。谢谢你，让我们有机会一起前行。

Evlerimize ateşler düştü. Ormanlarımız yanıyor, köyler boşaltılıyor, şehirler tehdit altında. Birilerinin gözü aydın olmuştur herhâlde. Yangınlar hakkında sosyal medyada saçmalayanlar her açıdan ibretlik. Herkes içindekini döksün. Böylece ak koyun kara koyun belli olur.

Türkiye orman yangınlarıyla mücadele ediyor. O mücadele sırasında çarşamba akşamı Eskişehir'den acı haber gelmiş; alevlere müdahale eden ekipten 10 kişi şehit düşmüştü. Yangın,, sadece Eskişehir'le sınırlı değil.. Antalya, Afyonkarahisar, Sakarya, Bilecik ve Karabük'te de alevler söndürülmeye çalışılıyor. Tahliye edilen köyler var. Havanın çok sıcak olması birçok şehirde riski artırıyor. Termometrelerin 40 dereceleri gördüğü bu dönemde orman yangınlarına karşı nelere dikkat etmeli, alevlerle nasıl mücadele edilmeli yangın ekolojisi uzmanı Dr. İsmail Bekar yanıtladı.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 24 Juli 2025Bacaan: "Untuk segala sesuatu ada masanya, untuk apapun di bawah langit ada waktunya." (Pengkhotbah 3:1) Renungan: Suatu kali seorang anak laki-laki menonton konser simfoni. Ia begitu kagum atas suara orkes yang keras dan penuh semangat. Di antara alat musik yang banyak itu, ada satu alat musik yang menarik hatinya, yaitu simbal. Sepanjang pengamatannya selama konser, hanya sesekali saja simbal itu dibunyikan, sementara alat musik lainnya selalu dimainkan. Setelah konser selesai, anak laki-laki tersebut menemui pemain simbal itu dan bertanya kepadanya, "Pak, mengapa bapak jarang sekali membunyikan alat musik ini, sementara pemain musik yang lain selalu memainkan alat musiknya?" Pemain alat musik simbal itu menjawab, "Nak, aku sama sekali tidak perlu banyak memainkannya. Yang diperlukan hanyalah tahu kapan waktu memainkannya dengan tepat." Jika kita tahu kapan waktunya yang paling tepat, maka semuanya akan berjalan dengan baik. Jika tahu kapan harus menahan diri untuk berbicara, kita tidak akan menemui masalah. Jika tahu kapan harus menyampaikan kritik dan memberi semangat kepada karyawan, tentu orang-orang yang bekerja pada kitapun akan senang. Jika tahu kapan waktunya mengajak pasangan bertukar pikiran, kita akan mendapatkan hasil yang baik. Jika tahu kapan waktunya bercanda bersama teman, kita tidak akan menyakiti orang lain. Mari mulai saat ini, kita belajar peka terhadap situasi di sekitar kita, sehingga kita tahu kapan harus bertindak, berbicara dan diam. Karena orang yang berkata-kata lebih cepat daripada ia berpikir akan seringkali menemukan masalah. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa: Tuhan Yesus, kuasailah perkataan dan perbuatanku, agar aku tahu kapan saat yang tepat berkata-kata dan bertindak terhadap orang lain. Jangan biarkan emosiku meledak-ledak sehingga banyak orang yang merasa kecewa dan sakit hati dengan kehadiranku. Yesus, jadikanlah seluruh keberadaanku menjadi keberadaan-Mu sendiri. Amin. (Dod).

“Yin and Yang are the rhythm of existence. When one dominates, imbalance arises. True health—mental, emotional, and physical—comes from their harmony.” — Dr. Maoshing Ni, Taoist doctor and author of The Tao of WellnessIn this episode, I reflect on a workshop I attended last week and how we truly need to find balance between yin and yang in order to live in harmony. Enjoy the show!

An investigation into the furore over actress Huangyang Tiantian being pictured wearing what appeared to be luxury earrings has concluded that they were in fact imitations of a high-end brand.针对女演员黄杨钿甜被拍到佩戴疑似奢华耳环引发的风波，调查已得出结论：这些耳环实为某高端品牌的仿制品。The teen actress sparked controversy in May after posting photos in which she wore earrings reportedly worth millions of yuan, raising questions about the legitimacy of her extravagant spending, given her family's civil servant background.这位 女演员在 5 月发布了佩戴据报道价值数百万元耳环的照片后引发争议，鉴于其家庭的公务员背景，人们对她奢侈消费的合法性提出质疑。The earrings were eventually found to be a gift from a friend of her mother in 2016, made of glass and imitating a designer brand. No records of a purchase of the authentic items have been found at the brand's stores in China at this time.这些耳环最终被查明是 2016 年她母亲的一位朋友所赠，由玻璃制成，仿冒某设计师品牌。目前，该品牌在中国的门店均未查到购买正品的记录。A preliminary investigation from the joint task force which was released in late May, confirmed that her father was not involved in any post-disaster reconstruction projects during his tenure in Ya'an, Sichuan.联合调查组于 5 月底发布的初步调查结果证实，其父亲在四川雅安任职期间，未参与任何灾后重建项目。But they did find his two rule violations, namely unauthorized business activities while employed during his employment by the government and deliberate concealment of a violation of China's former two-child policy.但调查发现其父亲存在两项违纪行为，即任职期间违规从事经营活动，以及故意隐瞒违反中国原二孩政策的情况。The supervisory authority has confiscated 30,000 yuan ($4,176) in illegal gains obtained from a company by Huang's father, with the surname Yang, when he was working as a civil servant. Since he has already resigned from his position, no further administrative penalties will be imposed.监察机关已没收黄杨钿甜的父亲杨某在担任公务员期间从某公司获取的 3 万元（约合 4176 美元）非法所得。由于他已辞职，不再给予其他行政处罚。Regarding the violation of the family planning policy, since Yang has resigned and the relevant penalties have been abolished, no further action will be taken.关于违反计划生育政策一事，因杨某已辞职且相关处罚规定已废止，故不再作进一步处理。The investigation also found that there was no evidence that Yang had profited from post-disaster reconstruction projects or charitable funds during his tenure in Ya'an.调查还发现，没有证据表明杨某在雅安任职期间从灾后重建项目或慈善资金中获利。furore /ˈfjʊərɔː(r)/ 轩然大波，骚动imitation /ˌɪmɪˈteɪʃn/ 仿制品，仿造物confiscate /ˈkɒnfɪskeɪt/ 没收，充公tenure /ˈtenjə(r)/ 任职期，任期

Have you been feeling tired, uninspired, or like your spark has gone dim?   This episode is for the woman who's been in a long season of quiet — and is just starting to feel her energy return.   Hana shares a personal and poetic teaching on the rhythm of Yin and Yang, the power of seasonal living, and how we rebuild our vitality not through force… but through alignment. In this episode, you'll learn: Why exhaustion is often a sign of Yang depletion, not failure How seasons of Yin are the sacred soil from which vitality grows The role of ovulation, summer, and the full moon in energy restoration How to work with foods, joy, and connection to gently rekindle your inner fire Why it's safe to step back into life, pleasure, and passion — in your own rhythm This is a love letter to your rising energy.   A spiritual permission slip to return to the world.   A reminder that you are allowed to feel radiant again.

We can't find Casey Holdahl in Vegas, did the Chinese Paparazzi get him, how good as Yang been so far...Male Sack...we found Casey, how's Vegas? and are we fired up for the All Star Game tonight.

Danny is still recovering from Vegas. Thoughts on Yang Hansen's debut and his role this season. Is MLB's All-Star break the best in sports? Opposite calls of the same walk-off home run. Differences in how Patrick & Danny get their news. Talking with sports fans in the wild. Did you watch any Wimbledon? Are we expecting too much from Yang, too early? Other Blazers of note at Summer League. Got any drinking game ideas for the Home Run Derby?

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 14 Juli 2025Bacaan: "..... Dengan bertobat dan tinggal diam kamu akan diselamatkan, dalam tinggal tenang dan percaya terletak kekuatanmu." (Yesaya 30:15)Renungan: Suatu ketika Tony Campolo menceritakan tentang kunjungannya ke rumah duka karena ada seseorang yang meninggal. Tanpa sengaja ia mengunjungi ruangan yang salah. Di ruangan itu hanya ada jenazah seorang laki-laki tua dan istrinya yang menjaga jenazah itu. Istrinya adalah satu-satunya pengunjung yang hadir. Wanita itu kelihatann begitu kesepian sehingga Campolo memutuskan untuk tetap tinggal dan mengikuti pemakaman. Ia bahkan mengantarkan jenazah itu ke tempat penguburan. Di akhir ibadah penguburan itu, Campolo akhirnya mengaku kepada janda itu bahwa ia tidak mengenal suaminya. Janda itu berkata, "Saya sudah menyadarinya. Tetapi hal itu tidak penting. Yang harus anda ketahui adalah betapa berartinya kehadiran anda dan apa yang anda lakukan untuk saya. Saya merasa tidak sendirian menanggung duka ini, karena kehadiran anda menguatkan saya." Seringkali orang yang sedang menderita perlu kehadiran orang-orang seperti Campolo. Seseorang yang hadir pada saat dibutuhkan, yang mau mendengar, yang tidak tergesa-gesa ingin pergi, yang bersedia memeluk, merangkul dan menangis bersama. Pendek kata, seseorang yang menyediakan diri dan mau menyelami perasaan orang yang sedang dalam kesusahan. Tuhan Yesus sudah memulainya untuk kita. Kini Ia mau kita melakukan hal yang sama terhadap sahabat, kenalan, keluarga dan orang-orang yang kita kasihi. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau selalu ada untukku. Walau secara jasmani Engkau tidak hadir dalam setiap kesusahanku, tapi kuasa penyertaan-Mu senantasa ada untukku. Terima kasih juga atas kehadiran-Mu dalam diri orang-orang yang senantiasa Kau kirim untuk menguatkan dan mendoakanku. Mampukan aku juga Yesus, agar kehadirankupun dapat memberikan kekuatan dan ketenangan bagi mereka yang mengalami pergumulan dalam hidupnya. Amin. (Dod).

A stunning forensic breakthrough connects two of Michigan's most notorious cold cases, revealing the chilling work of a serial killer who eluded justice for decades.Detective Sergeant Kilbourne, a seasoned Michigan State Police veteran with experience in everything from undercover narcotics to high-profile murder investigations, faces his most challenging assignment yet. Taking charge of the 1986 Margaret Ebi murder case fifteen years after the crime, he discovers a chaotic evidence collection that forces him to rebuild the investigation from the ground up. "We don't have a crime scene, but we got pictures of a crime scene," his superior reminds him as they forge ahead.The turning point arrives when DNA samples preserved from the Ebi crime scene, previously thought degraded beyond use, are submitted to Michigan's state-of-the-art crime lab. What happens next electrifies the investigation – the genetic fingerprint matches DNA from the unsolved 1991 murder of flight attendant Nancy Ludwig in Romulus. Two seemingly unrelated high-profile murders, connected by the invisible thread of a killer's DNA.As the investigation widens, we meet Detective Mike Larson, Kilbourne's counterpart described as "Mr. Yang to Kilbourne's Mr. Ying" – opposite personalities united in their pursuit of justice. Their work parallels the revolutionary case chronicled in Joseph Wambach's bestseller "The Blooding," which documents how DNA profiling first caught a serial killer in England, forever changing criminal investigations worldwide.The path forward becomes complicated when territorial issues arise between state and local agencies. Detective Gordy Melianak, who devoted years to the Ludwig case, finds himself sidelined by departmental politics just as the breakthrough occurs. Will interagency tensions derail the investigation, or can these dedicated detectives overcome bureaucratic obstacles to finally bring closure to two of Michigan's most haunting unsolved murders?Subscribe to The Murder Book for the conclusion of this riveting true crime investigation that demonstrates how modern forensic science can breathe new life into cases long gone cold.Send us a text Support the show

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 4, 2025 is: Yankee • YANG-kee • noun Yankee can refer broadly to anyone born or living in the U.S., more narrowly to only those in the northern U.S., or even more narrowly to only those in the states of New England. The broadest use is especially common outside the U.S. // It took the children some time to adjust to being the only Southerners in a classroom full of Yankees. // After years of international travel, he'd grown accustomed to living as a Yankee abroad. See the entry > Examples: "Anthony Pettaway's coworkers at Norfab Ducting have known for the past six years he was good at getting their deliveries to the right department. They also knew from his accent that the receivables department employee was a relocated Yankee." — Jill Doss-Raines, The Dispatch (Lexington, NC), 10 June 2025 Did you know? We don't know the origin of Yankee but we do know that it began as an insult. British General James Wolfe used the term in a 1758 letter to express his low opinion of the New England troops assigned to him, and from around the same time period there is a report of British troops using Yankee as a term of abuse for the citizens of Boston. In 1775, however, after the battles of Lexington and Concord showed that colonials could stand up to British regulars, Yankee was proudly adopted by colonials as a self-descriptor in defiance of the pejorative use. Both derisive and respectable uses have existed ever since.

Jeff Patterson has been practicing martial arts for 36 years. He has trained with masters from seven countries and has achieved a black belt equivalency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Muay Thai, Kenpō, Tai Chi, and Qigong. Patterson believes in the power of meditative arts to enhance life experiences. Why Meditation for Educational Leaders? Educational leaders are in high-stress, high-visibility positions. Meditation can help reduce stress and prevent burnout, enabling leaders to have longevity in their careers. Meditation is practiced by high-performing athletes in other fields, such as boxing and basketball, to improve performance. Jeff Patterson's "Five Regulations" of Meditation: Regulating the body: Paying attention to skeletal alignment, muscle tension, and movement. This includes maintaining muscle structure and flexibility, consuming healthy nutrients, and getting adequate sleep. Regulating the breath: There are hundreds of breathing strategies, which can be categorized as yin (deeper, inward energy) or yang (aggressive, outward energy). Yin breathing involves longer inhales and shorter exhales. Yang breathing may involve tension in the breath and audible exhales. Regulating the mind: Meditation does not require a quiet mind, as distractions are normal. Meditation involves recognizing distractions and using posture, breath, and movement to regain focus. Regulating the energy: Once the body, breath, and mind are regulated, one can learn to direct energy inward, outward, or circulate it to achieve different outcomes in meditation. Regulating the spirit: This is a profound concept toward which meditation masters work their entire lives. Benefits of Meditation: Increased focus and productivity Enhanced emotional regulation Improved communication skills and the ability to "yield" Physical yielding: Getting out of the way of a force to respond with less effort. Requires being well rooted, having a strong and flexible lower body, a relaxed body, calm breath, and a present mind. Mental yielding: Recognizing imbalances in a conversation and adjusting the conversation to lead it to a harmonious place. Emotional yielding: Stepping back from interpersonal conflicts to make a more educated decision. Integrating Meditation into a Busy Schedule: Ritual Practice: A dedicated time, such as 20 minutes per day, to meditate without distractions. Active Practices: Integrating practices throughout the day, even for as little as 60 seconds. Philosophical Practices: Integrating the philosophy of meditation into active and ritual practices. Jeff Patterson's Three Considerations for Starting a Meditation Practice: Motivation: Identify your motivation for wanting to meditate. Consider how your life will change if you accomplish your meditation goals. Consistency: Practice consistently to reap the benefits of meditation. Consistency develops discipline, integrity, and patience. Guidance: Find a guide to save time and improve your practice.

The gang continues “Wet Hot Archosaur Summer” with a discussion about pterosaur trace fossils. The first paper tests a method for assigning pterosaur traces to potential trace makers, and the second paper is a case study of actually assigning traces to a species. Meanwhile, Amanda herds cats (figuratively and literally), James can only accomplish three things, Curt keeps it light, and everyone upholds their “journalistic integrity”.   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): The friends talk about two papers that look at the marks that animals leave on the ground. These marks are made by animals that fly from a long time ago and are no longer around today. The first paper is asking if we can look at these marks and try to better figure out what kinds of these animals could have made those marks. They do a lot of work to look at the marks and some parts of these animals that we have that are really good in order to see if there are parts of the animal that would also be the same as these marks, and then they use numbers like how long these parts are on the marks and the animal parts are to try and see if we can put the marks into groups of animals. They find that maybe we can, and that there are some places where it might be best to see how well this works. The second paper is one of those places where we can go see if this thing the first paper did works. They have these marks and there are two different types of marks. This place also has parts from two different groups of these animals, and those animals are in the same beds so they can be pretty sure that the animals were in the same spot as the marks at around the same time. They look at the numbers and how these marks look and they are able to point to each of these marks and say which of the two animals they have would have made those marks.   References: Smyth, Robert SH, et al.

Did you know your fertility could be declining due to something deeper than hormone levels or age? In this solo episode, I explore a powerful yet often overlooked aspect of reproductive health through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Kidney Qi. In TCM, the kidneys are not just responsible for filtering blood—they are the energetic source of your reproductive potential. I unpack how Kidney Jing (essence), Yin and Yang imbalances, and pre-heaven vs. post-heaven Qi all influence egg and sperm quality, libido, menstrual health, and even your nervous system. You'll learn how to recognise the signs of weakened Kidney Qi and discover lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset shifts to nourish this vital essence naturally. This episode is packed with practical tips and ancient wisdom to help you reverse the hidden energetic causes of declining fertility and move forward with more confidence and vitality. Key Takeaways: In Chinese medicine, fertility is rooted in Kidney Jing, the essence we inherit from our parents and support throughout life. Signs of depleted Kidney Qi can include fatigue, night sweats, low libido, shortened cycles, delayed ovulation, and emotional anxiety. Anti-aging and egg/sperm quality are closely tied to mitochondrial health, which reflects the state of your Kidney Qi. Lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, nutrition, and warmth (especially around your lower back and feet) can significantly boost reproductive vitality. Foods that nourish Kidney Jing include bone broth, goji berries, black sesame seeds, walnuts, seaweed, dark leafy greens, and cooked foods over raw. Practices like acupuncture, meditation, and even visualization can support Kidney Qi and overall reproductive wellness.     For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com Grab your copy of my Be Calmm ebook—a mind-body guide to creating a fertility-friendly nervous system https://www.michelleoravitz.com/be-calmm  To learn more about ancient wisdom and fertility, you can get Michelle's book at: https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility  The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/  Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/ Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Retired 4-star General Wesley Clark, once NATO Supreme Allied Commander, offers his advice to the Trump administration: don't bomb Iran's nuclear plant Fordow. In a lively discussion about geopolitics, General Clark suggests having both a military and a diplomatic plan for the conflict. Former Democratic Presidential candidate Andrew Yang is raising the alarm on AI's impact on the workforce. Yang discusses the future of labor and technology. Plus, General Mills has joined Kraft Heinz in eliminating artificial food dyes in U.S. products, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has accused Mark Zuckerberg of attempting to poach OpenAI talent with $100m paychecks.   Wesley Clark - 15:53Andrew Yang - 29:51 In this episode:Andrew Yang, @AndrewYangBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie

First up, Georgetown law professor and former national legal director at the ACLU, David Cole, joins us to discuss the legal response to the Trump Administration's serial violations of the Constitution. Then Mike Ferner of Veterans for Peace checks in to update us halfway through his Fast for Gaza, 40 days of living on 250 calories per day, which is the average caloric intake of Palestinian survivors in Gaza. Finally, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Joe Holley, stops by to pay tribute to his mentor and colleague, the late crusading journalist, Ronnie Dugger, founder of the progressive Texas Observer.David Cole is the Honorable George J. Mitchell Professor in Law and Public Policy and former National Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). He writes about and teaches constitutional law, freedom of speech, and constitutional criminal procedure. He is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and is the legal affairs correspondent for The Nation.Trump is obviously not concerned about antisemitism. He's concerned about targeting schools because they are places where people can criticize the president, where people can think independently, are taught to think independently, and often don't support what the president is doing. He's using his excuse to target a central institution of civil society.David ColeThe decision on Trump versus the United States is only about criminal liability for criminal acts, not for unconstitutional acts. And violating the Constitution is not a crime. Every president has violated the Constitution probably since George Washington. That's not a crime.David ColeMike Ferner served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and he is former National Director and current Special Projects Coordinator for Veterans for Peace. He is the author of Inside the Red Zone: A Veteran for Peace Reports from Iraq.Two hundred and fifty calories is technically, officially, a starvation diet, and we're doing it for 40 days. The people in Gaza have been doing it for months and months and months, and they're dying like crazy. That's the whole concern that we're trying to raise. And I'll tell you at the end of this fast, on the 40th day, we are not just going out silently. There are going to be some fireworks before we're done with this thing. So all I'm saying is: stay tuned.Mike Ferner: Special Projects Coordinator of Veterans for Peace on “FastforGaza”They're (The Veterans Administration is) being defamed, Ralph, for the same reason that those right-wing corporatists defamed public education. So they can privatize it. And that's exactly what they're trying to do with the VA. And I can tell you every single member of Veterans for Peace has got nothing but praise for the VA.Mike FernerJoe Holley was the editor of the Texas Observer in the early 1980s. A former staff writer at The Washington Post and a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writer and columnist at the Houston Chronicle, he is the author of eight books, mostly about Texas.He would talk to people, and he would find out things going on about racial discrimination, about farm workers being mistreated, all kind of stories that the big papers weren't reporting. And this one guy, young Ronnie Dugger, would write these stories and expose things about Texas that a lot of Texans just did not know.Joe Holley on the late progressive journalist, Ronnie DuggerHe knew the dark side of Texas, but he always had an upbeat personality. I had numerous conversations with Ronnie (Dugger), and he was ferociously independent.Ralph NaderNews 6/13/251. On Monday, Israeli forces seized the Madleen, the ship carrying activist Greta Thunberg and others attempting to bring food and other supplies past the Israeli blockade into Gaza, and detained the crew. The ship was part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thunberg had been designated an “Ambassador of Conscience,” by Amnesty International. The group decried her detention, with Secretary General Agnès Callamard writing, “Israel has once again flouted its legal obligations towards civilians in the occupied Gaza Strip and demonstrated its chilling contempt for legally binding orders of the International Court of Justice.” On Tuesday, CBS reported that Israel deported Thunberg. Eight other passengers refused deportation and the Jerusalem Post reports they remain in Israeli custody. They will be represented in Israeli courts by Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel. One of these detainees is Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament.2. Shortly before the Madleen was intercepted, members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing concern for the safety of these activists, citing the deadly 2010 raid of the Mavi Marmara, which ultimately resulted in the death of ten activists, including an American. This letter continued, “any attack on the Madleen or its civilian crew is a clear and blatant violation of international law. United Nations experts have called for the ship's safe passage and warned Israel to “refrain from any act of hostility” against the Madleen and its passengers…We call on you to monitor the Madleen's journey and deter any such hostile actions.” This letter was led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and drew signatures from Congressional progressives like Reps. Summer Lee, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Greg Casar, and others.3. On the other end of the political spectrum, Trump – ever unpredictable – seemed to criticize Israel's detention of Thunberg. In a press conference, “Trump was…asked about Thunberg's claim that she had been kidnapped.” The president responded “I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg…Is that what she said? She was kidnapped by Israel?” The reporter replied “Yes, sir,” to which “Trump responded by shaking his head.” This from Newsweek.4. Of course, the major Trump news this week is his response to the uprising in Los Angeles. Set off by a new wave of ICE raids, protesters have clashed with police in the streets and Trump has responded by increasingly upping the ante, including threatening to arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom, per KTLA. Beyond such bluster however, Trump has moved to deploy U.S. Marines onto the streets of the nation's second-largest city. Reuters reports, “About 700 Marines were in a staging area in the Seal Beach area about 30 miles…south of Los Angeles, awaiting deployment to specific locations,” in addition to 2,100 National Guard troops. The deployment of these troops raises thorny legal questions. Per Reuters, “The Marines and National Guard troops lack the authority to makes arrests and will be charged only with protecting federal property and personnel,” but “California Attorney General Rob Bonta… [said] there was a risk that could violate an 1878 law that…forbids the U.S. military, including the National Guard, from taking part in civilian law enforcement.” Yet, despite all the tumult, these protests seem to have gotten the goods, so to speak: the City of Glendale announced it would, “end its agreement with…ICE to house federal immigration detainees.” All of this sets quite a scene going into Trump's military parade in DC slated for Saturday, June 14th.5. In classic fashion however, Trump's tough posture does not extend to corporate crime. Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports, “Trump's DOJ just announced American corporations that engage in criminal bribery schemes abroad will no longer be prosecuted.” Claypool cites a June 9th memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, which reads, “Effective today, prosecutors shall…not attribute…malfeasance to corporate structures.” Claypool also cites a Wall Street Journal piece noting that “the DOJ has already ended half of its criminal investigations into corporate bribery in foreign countries and shrunk its [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act] unit down to 25 employees.”6. Americans can at least take small comfort in one thing: the departure of Elon Musk from the top rungs of government. It remains to be seen what exactly precipitated his final exit and how deep his rift with Trump goes – Musk has already backed down on his harshest criticisms of the president, deleting his tweet claiming Trump was in Epstein files, per ABC. Yet, this appears to be a victory for Steve Bannon and the forces he represents within Trump's inner circle. On June 5th, the New York Times reported that Bannon, “said he was advising the president to cancel all [Musk's] contracts and… ‘initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status'.” Bannon added, “[Musk] should be deported from the country immediately.'” Bannon has even called for a special counsel probe, per the Hill. Bannon's apparent ascendency goes beyond the Oval Office as well. POLITICO Playbook reports Bannon had a 20-minute-long conversation with Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman on Monday evening – while Fetterman dined with Washington bureau chief for Breitbart, Matt Boyle – at Butterworth's, the DC MAGA “watering hole.” This also from the Hill.7. On the way out, the Daily Beast reports, “Elon Musk's goons at the Department of Government Efficiency transmitted a large amount of data—all of it undetected—using a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal they installed on top of the White House.” Sources “suggested that the [the installation of the Starlink terminal] was intended to bypass White House systems that track the transmission of data—with names and time stamps—and secure it from spies.” It is unknown exactly what data Musk and his minions absconded with, and for what purpose. We can only hope the public gets some answers.8. With Musk and Trump parting ways, other political forces are now seeking to woo the richest man in the world. Semafor reports enigmatic Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley and chaired Bernie Sanders' campaign in California, “talked with one of…Musk's ‘senior confidants' …about whether the ex-DOGE leader…might want to help the Democratic Party in the midterms.” Khanna added, “Having Elon speak out against the irrational tariff policy, against the deficit exploding Trump bill, and the anti-science and anti-immigrant agenda can help check Trump's unconstitutional administration…I look forward to Elon turning his fire against MAGA Republicans instead of Democrats in 2026.” On the other hand, the Hill reports ex-Democrat Andrew Yang is publicly appealing to Musk for an alliance following Musk's call for the establishment of an “America Party.” Yang himself founded the Forward Party in 2021. Yang indicated Musk has not responded to his overtures.9. Meanwhile, the leadership of the Democratic Party appears to be giving up entirely. In a leaked Zoom meeting, DNC Chair Ken Martin – only elected in February – said, “I don't know if I wanna do this anymore,” per POLITICO. On this call, Martin expressed frustration with DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, blaming him for, “[destroying] any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to.” Hogg meanwhile has doubled down, defying DNC leadership by “wading into another primary,” this time for the open seat left by the death of Congressman Gerry Conolly in Virginia, the Washington Post reports. The DNC is still weighing whether to void Hogg's election as Vice Chair.10. Finally, in some good news from New York City, State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani appears to have closed the gap with disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo began the race with a 40-point lead; a new Data for Progress poll shows that lead has been cut down to just two points. Moreover, that poll was conducted before Mamdani was endorsed by AOC, who is expected to bring with her substantial support from Latinos and residents of Queens, among other groups. Notably, Mamdani has racked up tremendous numbers among young men, a demographic the Democratic Party has struggled to attract in recent elections. Cuomo will not go down without a fight however. The political nepo-baby has already secured a separate ballot line for the November election, meaning he will be in the race even if he loses the Democratic primary, and he is being boosted by a new million-dollar digital ad spend by Airbnb, per POLITICO. The New York City Democratic Primary will be held on June 24th.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
