M2i Global CEO Alberto Rosende joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's signing of a non-binding strategic collaboration agreement with Evrensel Impact Group (EIG) to explore the identification, evaluation, and potential development of critical mineral projects across Africa. Rosende said the collaboration will leverage EIG's expanding network of government relationships, strategic partnerships, and commercial engagements to help identify opportunities aligned with M2i Global's critical minerals strategy. The agreement establishes a framework for evaluating and advancing future projects across the continent. EIG has recently expanded its presence in Mozambique, Nigeria, Botswana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic, while also pursuing new opportunities in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon, and other African jurisdictions. According to Rosende, EIG's discussions with governments have revealed strong demand for experienced international partners capable of delivering responsible resource development, long-term investment, and commercially viable critical minerals projects, creating opportunities that align with M2i Global's growth objectives. The collaboration is non-binding and serves as a strategic framework for future cooperation. Any specific commercial transactions or project agreements will be subject to further due diligence, negotiations, definitive documentation, and customary regulatory approvals. #proactiveinvestors #m2iglobalinc #otcqb #mtwo #SecurityMatters #CriticalMinerals #ResourceDevelopment #EnergyTransition #StrategicPartnership #CriticalMaterials #MiningNews #SustainableMining

After the disappointing opening defeat to Malawi, Nigeria bounced back with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Zambia to breathe new life into their WAFCON 2026 campaign. Asisat Oshoala's goal proved to be the difference, but the story of the match was Nigeria's resilience after being reduced to 10 players in the first half and still producing a disciplined defensive performance to secure all three points.Olu reviews the game, analyses the tactical improvements from the Malawi defeat, highlights the standout individual performances, and discusses why this result could be a turning point in Nigeria's title defence. The win lifts the Super Falcons into second place in Group C and keeps both their WAFCON ambitions and their hopes of qualifying for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup back on track.Check out our website: nigeriafootballweekly.com Follow Nigeria Football Weekly:Twitter - https://twitter.com/NFWPod Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nigeriafootballweekly/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nigeriafootballweekly Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NigeriaFootballWeekly Linktree - https://linktr.ee/nigeriafootballweekly Email - olu@nigeriafootballweekly.com

After a shocking defeat to Malawi in their opening game, the Super Falcons face a must-win clash against Zambia to keep their WAFCON 2026 campaign alive. Olu previews everything you need to know ahead of this crucial encounter, including the players to watch, expected lineups, tactical battles and his score prediction for one of Nigeria's biggest group-stage matches in recent memory.The stakes could not be higher. A defeat, combined with a Malawi victory, could eliminate the defending champions after just two matches. Beyond WAFCON, this tournament also serves as the qualification pathway to the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil, with only the semi-finalists guaranteed automatic qualification. Zambia arrive full of confidence after thrashing Egypt 6-0 in their opening game, with Barbra Banda scoring four goals. Can Nigeria respond when it matters most, or will their title defence and World Cup hopes suffer another huge blow?

En plakat med en abstrakt afrofigur får Copenhagen Jazz Festival anklaget for racisme. Men den kritik har kunstneren bag værket selv svært ved at forstå. Jack Kabangu kom fra Zambia til Holstebro som 10-årig og er på få år blevet et internationalt kunstnavn. Hans værker har aldrig handlet om nedgørelsen af sorte, så hvordan er det at høre sin kunst blive omtalt som racistisk mod afro-kultur? Vært: Simon Stefanski.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 31st of July, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Psalms 62:5: “My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him.” Then we go to John 13:7:“What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.”I want to speak to you this morning about disappointment. Maybe your job has come to an end, maybe you are just not cutting it at university, maybe that proposal to that young girl has not worked out, maybe that business deal has fallen through and you are disappointed. The Lord will use that disappointment often to teach us lessons, and you say, “But it is too painful, I can't take it anymore.” You can and you must because that teacher called “disappointment” is going to do a mighty work in your life. Now I want to use an example. When I was a young man, I had just come back from Australia. I was a cowboy in Australia. I got a position in Zambia at a very big farm, but the two owners of the farm, were quite rough-handed guys, and they wanted their pound of flesh, probably like I was after that! I had to be standing on the parade ground - that's what it seemed like - every morning at quarter to six. I had 150 staff that had to be organised to the different parts of the farm. We were doing vegetables, we were doing beef cattle, we were doing seed maize, we were doing commercial maize, and this gentleman used to walk around in gumboots, and he was a very articulate man. He said to me, “Angus, at 6 o'clock, I don't want to see one person standing in the yard. Everybody must be at work.”We had 8 tractors in those days. Now that was a big outfit, and I want to tell you, he really tested me. I handed my resignation in no less than 3 times, and he just tore them up and carried on, but you know, when I look back, that gentleman and his partner, the two of them, taught me more valuable things about life than anybody else. A writer once said, “Dear old rough-handed teacher, we will build you a monument and crown it with flowers and inscribe on it, “Blessed be the memory of disappointment.”Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Don't be afraid of disappointment. It will bring lots of benefits afterwards.Goodbye.

What happens when a song about a copper mine becomes an online hit? Chambishi Copper Mine, written and performed by employees of a Chinese-operated mine in Zambia, has captured the attention of listeners with its uplifting melody and inspiring message. In this episode, we speak with Xu Laixiang, deputy CEO of NFC Africa Mining, and legal officer Mofya Bangwe about the inspiration behind the song, the revival of the mine, and how music has become a unique way of telling the story of China-Zambia.

In today's episode, the Fed leaves interest rates unchanged amid a fractured vote and market sell-offs. Locally, four parties are challenging President Ramaphosa's impeachment interdict, while Treasury controversially releases funds to 69 failing municipalities. We also cover Dr. Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment regarding the Covid-19 response, Zambia's kwacha surging against the rand, and the mixed reality behind Zelensky's meeting with Trump.

The 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) is back, bigger than ever. As 16 teams battle for continental glory in Morocco, can defending champions Nigeria extend their dominance, or is Africa witnessing a new era led by new challengers like Morocco, South Africa and Zambia? Eddy Micah Jr. speaks to Biola Solace Chukwu, a sports analyst from Nigeria and DW's Glory Mushinge in Lusaka.

WAFCON RECAPS!

This week, we learned that it is possible to pepper a goal without making the goalkeeper have to do anything, as the Orlando Pride sent dozens of shots at Chicago Stars FC netminder Katie Atkinson, who barely had to move to stop any of the ones on target. Sure, there was a step and a half to her right to stop Marta's penalty, but other than that, her toughest save came off the face of her own teammate, which she swatted off the crossbar with a desperate, flailing lunge. Aside from that, the Pride were content to fire shot after shot right at Atkinson's torso.Eventually, Julie Doyle managed to hit the target without hitting Atkinson, saving the Pride from wasting a dominant performance in almost nearly every other aspect of the match. We look back at a frustrating win (victories are not supposed to be frustrating!), review our score predictions, and make our selections for Player of the Match.We also touched on Seven Castain's new contract and subsequent loan to Dallas Trinity. Hopefully, Castain will get minutes and develop her skills to be able to contribute at an NWSL level while Orlando has her under contract.This week's mailbagbox pitted the Pride against Barbra Banda, asked how the Pride won the double two years ago, and more. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.Finally, we looked ahead to Friday's road battle against the North Carolina Courage. The Pride may need to find the net twice to beat North Carolina in its own stadium, and that has proven to be difficult even when Banda isn't playing in international tournaments with Zambia. Where the goals will come from is anyone's guess, but we reviewed the series history, provided our key matchups for the game, and tried our luck at predicting the final score.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 131 went down:0:15 – The Pride snapped their two-game losing streak, but it wasn't pretty, and it wasn't nearly as easy as the number of shots suggest it should have been.21:44 - The mailbagbox rarely complains after a win, but...42:24 - Orlando heads north to play the Courage. We preview!

In a new episode of the Africa Legal podcast, Augustine Hamwela and Layeni Phiri of August Hill & Associate chat with Scott Cowan about significant recent changes to the regulatory framework for one of Africa's leading mining jurisdictions, and a resulting new chapter in Zambia's investment story.

Saudi Arabia has executed five more Ethiopian migrants after convicting them of smuggling hashish, a concentrated form of cannabis. The Saudi Interior Ministry announced on Monday, July 27th. This latest execution brings the total number of Ethiopians put to death in the last three months to 17. The ministry emphasized that the executions were intended “to protect the security of the citizen and resident from the scourge of drugs, and to impose the most severe penalties prescribed by law on its smugglers and promoters.”And an exclusive interview with Zambia's Vice President Mutale Nalumango on her journey to high office and what her leadership means for women and young people, women in leadership and youth involvement in politics across AfricaPresenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Blessing Aderogba Senior Producers: Keikantse Shumba Technical Producer: David Nzau Editors: Rhoda Odhiambo and Maryam Abdalla

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13Big Idea: A maturing church lets love for the people of Christ govern its liberties in Christ Application:Are you one of the people of Christ?When you are exercising your Christian liberties, do you consider the consciences of others?Q1. It seems to me that one of the main concepts in Chapter 8 is moral taint, an indirect acquisition of guilt through association or support of an immoral act. There is a lot of debate right now about if/how we can become “tainted”. When do we cross the line? For example, attending an LGBTQ wedding? Attending a regular wedding of someone wrongly divorced? Using technology/medicine discovered through immoral means? Living on land or inheriting property gained through immoral means?Q2. The concept of conscience is interesting when I consider my personal experience. For example, I grew up in a church were no one raised there hands and I grew up in a house where alcohol was never consumed. As an adult, both of those things “feel” wrong/bad even though I intellectually know they aren't sinful. What does that mean for me? Where is the interplay between my conscience and my comfort? Q3. You alluded to the Spirit working through our conscience. How can we discern between our conscience and the Holy Spirit. Is this an important distinction?Q4. I have a question about today's passage. It's a bit adjacent to the main point and includes a very specific scenario, so I don't know if you want to include all of it in the podcast, but I'm very curious (and have been waiting this whole sermon series for us to get to chapter 8 so I can ask). I've heard it taught that the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) took place after Paul wrote 1 Corinthians, so therefore the instructions for gentiles to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols overrides Paul's teaching here. The person who told me that said that therefore, Christians today should avoid anything that has origins in another religion, including seeing chiropractors, getting massages, doing yoga-based workouts, etc. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. Prior to hearing this teaching, I would do “Christian yoga” workouts, which use yoga poses but incorporate prayer and Scripture meditations instead throughout. I saw that as a way of redeeming the healthy aspects of yoga without participating in the religious aspects, but ever since hearing this teaching, I stopped in case I was wrong.Q5. Thank you for the message this morning. I appreciated how clearly love dominating in the gray while still adhering to truth came through. I did want to highlight that 1 mile from our church is a Hindu temple. This is what Google had to say about attendance there: As of June 2026, approximately 4,700 people regularly visit the Hindu Temple of Dayton in Beavercreek, Ohio. The congregation has grown significantly from its early days of 150 to 200 families. [1, 2, 3] For those, nearly 5,000 people, food sacrificed to idols is a very real issue. I just thought it was important to highlight that, if there are brothers and sisters in our Body that face that specific issue in ways that are a normal part of the worldview in which they may have been raised. I faced this issue specifically as a missionary while living in Zambia and befriending my Hindu neighbors. This is an issue members of our Body could face if invited to a Hindu home for a meal. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this issue became a more “normal” problem/opportunity for us! Q6. In our sermon we talked about limiting our freedom out of love for a weaker brother. But how do we distinguish between genuinely laying down our rights out of love versus just conforming out of a fear of judgment? At what point does trying not to be a 'stumbling block' cross the line into people-pleasing or enabling legalism?Thank you for listening and sending in your questions. As a reminder you can send your questions to SermonQuestions@ubcbeavercreek.com and we will see you next week.

Conservation succeeds when wildlife has real value to the people living alongside it every day. Robbie Kroger returns from three weeks across South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia with firsthand insight into the challenges shaping African wildlife conservation. The conversation breaks down how trophy hunting bans, import restrictions, and international politics affect habitat, rural communities, and the future of Africa's most iconic species. Rather than focusing on emotion or headlines, Robbie explains why sustainable use remains one of the most effective conservation tools available. Listeners hear how countries like Zambia are publicly supporting regulated hunting, why photo tourism cannot replace hunting revenue across much of Africa, and how changing wildlife economics can unintentionally increase habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. The discussion also revisits the lasting impact of the Cecil the Lion controversy, examines recent debates surrounding another Zimbabwe lion known as Blondie, and explores documented examples from Tanzania and Spain where removing hunting led to measurable habitat degradation and declining wildlife management outcomes. Whether you're interested in African safaris, big game hunting, wildlife policy, conservation science, or the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, this conversation offers practical context for one of hunting's most misunderstood issues.

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

Welcome to Episode 138 of The Journey Is The Reward!On this episode, Brian and Micah are crossing the Atlantic to talk with the one and only Terrific Tanya about her recent UK adventures.Before bringing our guest into the studio, Micah and Brian check the mailbag for any last-minute updates. But wait… there are absolutely zero ground delays today! With no general listener feedback and a rare episode off from Listener Lu, the guys take advantage of the completely clear skies and cruise straight into the main conversation.Tanya recently jetted over to England to meet up with the chaps from Plane Talking UK to help them celebrate and record their monumental 600th episode of PTUK.Tanya gives us the full, unfiltered trip report on her journey to the UK and the incredible festivities held at the historic Imperial War Museum Duxford. It's an amazing story of aviation history, great community, and transatlantic travel—though her recap does leave Brian feeling just a little bit guilty for holding Micah back from joining in on the live adventure.So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories. Because around here, the journey is the reward.As always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.You can always find the audio recording at www.thejourneyisthereward.org.

Medical missionaries are often called upon to provide care that is beyond the scope of their training and previous experience. This interactive case presentation looks at the realities of clinical decision-making in a critically ill snakebitten patient, and offers suggestions on how to navigate similar challenging situations.

Baroness Dambisa Moyo is a global economist, author, board member, and investor who sits at the intersection of public policy, corporate governance, and capital allocation. Dambisa serves in the U.K. House of Lords, sits on the boards of Chevron, Starbucks, Condé Nast, and Oxford University's investment committee, is Chair of the Economic Club of New York, and oversees Altered Trajectory alongside her husband, Jared Smith, the family office formed after his sale of Qualtrics in 2018. Our conversation traces Dambisa's journey from growing up in Zambia to becoming a leading voice on global economic development and governance. We discuss how her experiences across more than 80 countries and on the boards of four global companies shaped her judgment on economic growth, governance, and decision-making. We then turn to the application of those lessons at Altered Trajectory, including the evolution away from an endowment-style portfolio, balancing Dambisa's macro convictions with Jared's moonshot investing style, and positioning for long-term themes. Along the way, we discuss the challenge of investing through structural change while avoiding ideological thinking. Any leader should see for themselves the benefits of elite coaching.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if this issue became a more “normal” problem/opportunity for us! Q6. In our sermon we talked about limiting our freedom out of love for a weaker brother. But how do we distinguish between genuinely laying down our rights out of love versus just conforming out of a fear of judgment? At what point does trying not to be a 'stumbling block' cross the line into people-pleasing or enabling legalism?Thank you for listening and sending in your questions.

Midnight Sun Mining VP Adrian O'Brien explains how the company has expanded its near-surface copper mineralization at the Dumbwa basement dome-hosted sulfide copper deposit in Zambia's Domes region to 6.7 km strike within an 11.5 km phase-one program and a broader 20 km geochemical target. O'Brien explains the deposit's close geological analogy to Barrick's nearby Lumwana deposit, outlines a systematic “drill like a major” fence-drilling method with 50 m hole spacing and 100–200 m fence spacing enabled by low Zambian drill costs, and says the approach is designed to define edges, grade variability, and stacked, relatively flat mineralized lenses from surface to ~200 m depth. He discusses expectations for a first MRE in the fall, continued drill result releases, planned magnetics and metallurgical testing, reasons for share-price weakness despite operational progress, and ongoing but undisclosed monetization talks for the Kazhiba oxide resource. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Dumbwa Discovery Update 01:15 Basement Dome Copper Explained 04:10 Majors-Style Drill Strategy 11:16 Data Modeling And MRE 12:33 Deposit Scale & Geometry 14:08 Share Price Disconnect 19:19 Kazhiba Oxide Monetization 20:32 Upcoming Catalysts Roadmap https://midnightsunmining.com/ TSXV:MMA OTCQX:MDNGF Press release discussed: https://midnightsunmining.com/2026/midnight-sun-continues-rapid-strike-expansion-at-dumbwa-now-6-7-kilometres-of-near-surface-copper-mineralization/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Midnight Sun Mining pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13Big Idea: A maturing church lets love for the people of Christ govern its liberties in Christ Application:Are you one of the people of Christ?When you are exercising your Christian liberties, do you consider the consciences of others?Q1. It seems to me that one of the main concepts in Chapter 8 is moral taint, an indirect acquisition of guilt through association or support of an immoral act. There is a lot of debate right now about if/how we can become “tainted”. When do we cross the line? For example, attending an LGBTQ wedding? Attending a regular wedding of someone wrongly divorced? Using technology/medicine discovered through immoral means? Living on land or inheriting property gained through immoral means?Q2. The concept of conscience is interesting when I consider my personal experience. For example, I grew up in a church were no one raised there hands and I grew up in a house where alcohol was never consumed. As an adult, both of those things “feel” wrong/bad even though I intellectually know they aren't sinful. What does that mean for me? Where is the interplay between my conscience and my comfort? Q3. You alluded to the Spirit working through our conscience. How can we discern between our conscience and the Holy Spirit. Is this an important distinction?Q4. I have a question about today's passage. It's a bit adjacent to the main point and includes a very specific scenario, so I don't know if you want to include all of it in the podcast, but I'm very curious (and have been waiting this whole sermon series for us to get to chapter 8 so I can ask). I've heard it taught that the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) took place after Paul wrote 1 Corinthians, so therefore the instructions for gentiles to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols overrides Paul's teaching here. The person who told me that said that therefore, Christians today should avoid anything that has origins in another religion, including seeing chiropractors, getting massages, doing yoga-based workouts, etc. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. Prior to hearing this teaching, I would do “Christian yoga” workouts, which use yoga poses but incorporate prayer and Scripture meditations instead throughout. I saw that as a way of redeeming the healthy aspects of yoga without participating in the religious aspects, but ever since hearing this teaching, I stopped in case I was wrong.Q5. Thank you for the message this morning. I appreciated how clearly love dominating in the gray while still adhering to truth came through. I did want to highlight that 1 mile from our church is a Hindu temple. This is what Google had to say about attendance there: As of June 2026, approximately 4,700 people regularly visit the Hindu Temple of Dayton in Beavercreek, Ohio. The congregation has grown significantly from its early days of 150 to 200 families. [1, 2, 3] For those, nearly 5,000 people, food sacrificed to idols is a very real issue. I just thought it was important to highlight that, if there are brothers and sisters in our Body that face that specific issue in ways that are a normal part of the worldview in which they may have been raised. I faced this issue specifically as a missionary while living in Zambia and befriending my Hindu neighbors. This is an issue members of our Body could face if invited to a Hindu home for a meal. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this issue became a more “normal” problem/opportunity for us! Q6. In our sermon we talked about limiting our freedom out of love for a weaker brother. But how do we distinguish between genuinely laying down our rights out of love versus just conforming out of a fear of judgment? At what point does trying not to be a 'stumbling block' cross the line into people-pleasing or enabling legalism?Thank you for listening and sending in your questions.

Welcome to Episode 137 of The Journey Is The Reward!On this episode, Brian and Micah are back in the studio and catching up with everyone's favorite culinary traveler, Chef Kathy.Before bringing the Chef into the cabin, Micah gives us an honest status update on his Chase Sapphire Reserve card now that he's hit the six-month mark. With the premium card market getting more expensive by the day, Micah breaks down exactly which features, lounge perks, and travel credits he's used to justify that hefty annual fee.With zero ground delays on the schedule, no listener mail, and a rare night off from Listener Lu, the guys take advantage of the completely clear skies and head straight into the main itinerary.Chef Kathy recently joined Momma Coleman and Brian's brother Shawn on the adventure of a lifetime to Ireland. Because you absolutely cannot have Momma Coleman flying in the back of the bus, Brian worked his frequent flyer magic to upgrade the family into United Polaris business class.While exploring the spectacular Irish countryside, Chef Kathy didn't just sightsee—she also embedded herself in a local culinary school to sharpen her professional skills. And despite some chaotic driving logistics on the local roads, the crew made it back to Dublin in time to clear US Preclearance and immigration without a hitch.The adventure didn't stop across the pond. Upon returning to the US, the Chef met right back up with the family to celebrate Momma Coleman's legendary 91st birthday bash in Toms River, New Jersey. From there, she jetted out to Los Angeles to link up with Brian for an immediate road trip out to Las Vegas.In the City of Blinding Lights, Brian and Chef Kathy took over The Sphere, catching the mind-bending production of The Wizard of Oz before returning to the venue for a high-energy No Doubt concert. Kathy breaks down the incredible visuals of the venue and contrasts the show with the venue's original residents, U2, for two completely different premium entertainment experiences.Up next for the Chef? A solo expedition to Iceland—this time, safely out of range of the Coleman clan!So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories. Because around here, the journey is the reward.As always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.You can always find the audio recording at www.thejourneyisthereward.org.

Katherine Jaffe, director of nursing for Med Surg (3NS) at Virtua Marlton Hospital, brings a blend of compassion, resilience, and leadership to her role. Prior to her career in healthcare, Katherine joined the United States Peace Corps, where she spent two years living in a rural village in Zambia. There, she led literacy programs, supported HIV/AIDS prevention efforts, and empowered women through business education and a sewing initiative. The biggest lesson she learned is the power of connection. Katherine shared, "No matter what culture you're from or where you're from, people come first and you can make connections with anybody. Even though the community members did not have a lot materially, they connected and found joy and happiness in each other."   This lesson has guided Katherine throughout her nursing career at Virtua. From charge nurse to now nurse director, she has built engaged and compassionate teams. Katherine embodies Virtua's Culture of WE—always seeing the best in others and leading with heart.

Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry.

The latest public version of ChatGPT can be made to generate sexualised images or depict scenes of graphic violence with a simple prompt, researchers have told the BBC. British AI security startup Mindgard figured out how to make ChatGPT create graphic pictures by slightly altering a widely-shared instruction, or prompt, which was originally designed to produce humorous results. To find out more, Anita Rani speaks to Technology correspondent Chris Vallance and Mindgard's Peter Garraghan. A spokesperson for Open AI said: "We take these reports seriously. After investigating this trend, we've introduced additional safeguards against this type of prompt. Our safety systems are designed to block potentially harmful images that are uploaded to ChatGPT and we analyse whether the AI generated image violates our policies before we show the image to the user. We also combine automated systems and human review to identify and block harmful material.”Jon Snow, the lead presenter of Channel 4 News for 32 years, has revealed he has Alzheimer's disease. During his career, he reported on stories including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the release of Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama's inauguration, receiving numerous awards including the BAFTA Fellowship in 2015.

Zapatero utilizó a Luis Arroyo para colocarnos una mentira y ahora pretendemos que nos creamos la nueva versión que ha difundido, esta vez, a través de uno de los minaretes de la televisión oficial, que yo… ya lo adelanto, no me creo… porque encaja demasiado bien en su estrategia procesal. Las joyas las metió en España un rey saudí, o sea que Zapatero no es un contrabandista, en 2007, con lo que puede haber prescrito y además el saudí murió en 2015, con lo que nunca podrá negarlo. Cómo será de grave la cosa… cómo será de grave… para que se considere que la versión más favorecedora de lo de la joyas sea que el rey de Arabia Saudí, Abdalá bin Abdulaziz, le hiciera diversos regalos a Zapatero y este declarara y entregara al Estado por ejemplo un reloj y sin embargara ocultara y se quedara joyas por valor de 1.300.000 euros y todo esto en 2007… en los albores de una crisis que trajo enorme sufrimiento a los españoles y que Zapatero se negó a ver. Cómo iba a ver la crisis, si estaba deslumbrado por las esmeraldas de Zambia….¿Esta es de verdad la versión más favorecedora de la historia? Madre mía, siento vértigo de pensar en cuál será la verdadera.

In this special 9-week series, listeners will hear from three different groups—GenX paired with Millennials, Gen Z, and Boomers with a mix of the Silent Generation. Their conversations cover a variety of topics including technology, unity in the Church, racism, and parenting. Grouped by similar ages, these 12 individuals share their unique views, opinions, and convictions based on their generational upbringing and views of the world. Ranging from ages 16 to 81, we're covering 5 different generations with 16 different guests.In this episode, Generation Z Group talks about technology, social media, personal phone use, when kids should access social media, AI, and concerns about all the above. Bios of our Gen-Z contributors: Brandon AllonBrandon Allon has been a photographer for seven years, four of which have been with Seacoast. A third-generation photographer, he has also traveled to five countries outside the United States. Before photography, Brandon spent ten years in music — an experience that took him all the way to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Outside of his creative pursuits, he enjoys running and table tennis.Laela GriffinLaela Griffin is a recent high school graduate living in a small mountain town in North Carolina. She loves the outdoors, serving others, and traveling, and plans to attend Appalachian State University next year to major in Business. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, reading, and spending time with family and friends. Laela is so passionate about root beer that she once crashed her car over it.Hayes HerlongHayes Herlong is a 24-year-old from Charleston with a love for Jesus, surfing, adventure, and her one-eyed cat. She is currently pursuing ministry through the Residency Program at Seacoast Church, where she serves in youth ministry and is passionate about helping middle and high school students know Jesus and grow in their faith — a community she has called home for many years.Hayes also has a deep heart for global missions, having served internationally in Haiti, Togo, and Zambia, as well as stateside in Orlando and New York City. She loves learning about new cultures, meeting new people, and stepping into experiences that stretch her faith. That adventurous spirit once led her to jump and swing off the 420-foot bridge at Victoria Falls. Whether serving students, traveling the world, or trying something completely new, Hayes hopes her love for the Lord, people, and adventure will continue leading her to places where she can share the Gospel — and maybe keep her mom just a little nervous along the way.Abel WaltersAbel Walters is an 18-year-old rising senior at Palmetto Christian Academy and a recent graduate of 412 Leadership at Seacoast, where he now serves primarily on the prayer team and the teaching team in Custom. He has a passion for mission and ministry that he feels God has placed on his heart. Abel has played basketball all four years of high school, including travel ball, and also loves golf. His music taste skews older than his years — something his younger brothers don't quite understand yet.Abel is the oldest of four boys and the third of seven children overall. He's a big-time movie lover who will happily spend hours making the case for why The Amazing Spider-Man 2 came remarkably close to being one of the greatest superhero movies ever made. He also loves to travel and surf, and is likely the family member most enthusiastic about an impromptu trip — even when the rest of the family finds it slightly miserable.Seacoast Podcast is now on InstagramBe a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024. We'd love to hear from you.  E-mail Joey HERE. Producer/Editor/host: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: Katelyn Vandiver

Dan Kobayashi spent 16 years working as a U.S. diplomat focused on African issues, both at posts in Lesotho, Zambia, and Malawi, among others, and at the State Department's intelligence bureau in Washington, D.C.

Today, Dan is out of government and works as a geopolitical risk consultant in Geneva, where he also writes for his new Expatriach Substack. He joins Eric, Cobus, and Géraud to share an insider's perspective on the current state of U.S. policy towards Africa and why the notion that Washington is competing with Beijing for influence in the region is outdated.
