New episode on the optimal exercise intensity, duration, and frequency to prevent and reverse heart aging! In this podcast episode, Dr. Benjamin Levine discusses his groundbreaking research, which reveals how three weeks of bed rest can have a more detrimental impact on fitness than 30 years of aging. Dr. Levine details his research findings that show how a structured exercise regimen can reverse up to 20 years of heart aging by improving both shrinkage and compliance, as well as enhancing aspects of vascular age by 15 years. He also discusses how resistance training and aerobic training have profound differences on the heart, what risks are linked to high-intensity exercise, why recovery is key for the heart, how exercise duration and intensity affect coronary calcium levels, what exercise dose increases Afib risk, and so much more. This episode is a must! Available on YouTube, Spotify, X, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

🚨🇨🇩ON THE GROUND: CONGO — REBELS, RUINS & THE FIGHT TO REBUILD | PART 2 In Part 2, we walk the streets of Goma—where daily life unfolds between uncertainty and hope. We meet the students chasing dreams on dusty campuses, the traders navigating chaos to make a living, and the families holding it all together in the face of constant change. This is where the Congo River Alliance begins to take shape—not in headlines, but in conversations over plastic chairs and roadside fires. Where rebels speak of rebuilding—not with slogans, but with schools, roads, and safety. From war-scarred hills to classrooms buzzing with ambition, this is the side of Congo most never see. A land rich in minerals—and richer still in people refusing to give up. This isn’t just about rebels or politics. It’s about a country finding its way forward. This is On The Ground. Hosted by 🇺🇸 ERIC BOLLING 🇺🇸 and reported by Visegrád 24. 00:00 — “History lives in the body.” Congo’s mineral wealth has only brought blood. 01:13 — “Ask when it went wrong? The answer is always the ground.” 03:12 — 70% of the world’s cobalt. $2 a day to live. The cruel math of extraction. 04:38 — “There’s no army. No justice.” Nangaa says Congo is a failed state. 06:28 — A nation where the government vanishes—and rebels fill the vacuum. 08:39 — “Tshisekedi is a professional liar.” Allegations of repression and tribal rule. 11:21 — What is a failed state? No police, no administration, no trust. 13:00 — Civilians say it plainly: “Everyone’s to blame.” 15:59 — Ceasefire rejection: “We were never even invited.” 17:02 — War crimes allegations? “Where we are—there’s peace.” 19:45 — “We’ll start with a census.” A rebel plan to rebuild the state from scratch. 21:10 — “The world protects Kinshasa—to keep Congo weak.” 22:27 — “No NGO ever built a nation.” Why Nangaa backs business over aid. 24:16 — “We’ll build it ourselves.” A call for Congolese resilience over dependency. 26:06 — Security. Food. Water. Dignity. A rebel blueprint for national rebirth. 27:55 — “This regime lied. We won’t.” The promise of transition. 29:04 — “Our voice is small. But it’s growing.” 29:50 — “We’re not here to solve it. We’re here to show it.”

Morgan Housel has written 4,000 blog posts and sold 4 million copies of The Psychology of Money. As a writer, he's the best storyteller I know too. Here are his principles for writing: 1. Leave out the parts that readers tend to skip. 2. Writing is an efficiency game. Whoever says the most stuff in the fewest words wins. 3. You have five seconds to catch somebody's attention on the Internet. If you didn't catch them with the headline or in the first two sentences, they're gone. 4. If you're stuck on a piece, go for a walk. 5. If an idea comes to you while you're out walking, email it to yourself immediately. 6. People don’t remember books; they remember sentences. 7. A good story is like leverage for ideas. An idea on its own might be boring, but if you tell a good story about someone interacting with that idea, you can get people to nod their heads and pay attention. 8. Great writing begins with great reading. 9. If you want to write better and more memorable sentences, ask yourself: "If somebody was reading this on Kindle, would they highlight this sentence?" If the answer is no, consider removing it. 10. Everyone should write. Why? Because everyone is full of ideas they’re not aware of. This means they’re also unaware of the value of their ideas, and this value can only be unlocked via writing. 11. Start with one brave sentence and see where it goes. 12. Big words mask little thoughts. They’re an attempt to fool the reader into thinking you’re smart when you have nothing smart to say. 13. Writing for others is work, and it shows. Writing for yourself is fun, and it shows. 14. Morgan calls this Selfish Writing: write to solve your own problems, and the audience will get pulled in because of your emotional involvement. But if you pander to the audience, they will sense your lingering indifference, and leave. 15. The Power Law of Success: if you do 30 things, 29 of them are going to be irrelevant. One of them will completely change everything. Keep writing—volume is your friend. 16. Most books, even by proven authors, are flops. Mark Twain wrote 28 novels. You haven't heard of most of them, but that doesn't matter because he wrote two classics: "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." 17. Mark Twain used to read aloud to his family and watch their reactions. If he saw them getting bored, he’d cut that part out. If he saw them getting excited, he’d double down on that section. 18. Success takes time. Don’t rush it. Morgan spent 14 years as a professional writer before he published his first book. In that time, he wrote more than 4,000 blog posts. 19. Morgan tells the story of two trees. One grows in the shade of a mother tree, growing slowly because the sunlight is cut off. The other, planted in a field with no barrier, receives full sunlight and grows faster. But the first one develops denser wood due to the slower rate of growth. There’s a natural growth rate in nature, and in creative pursuits. 20. Make your writing concise. 21. Concise does not mean short. It means a high density of value to words. Okay, one more... Out of all our conversations, one interaction stands out because it so eloquently captures the essence of his approach. When I asked about his marketing strategy for selling books, he said: "Write a good book." "Well, how do you do that?" "Only write things that you personally find interesting." I've shared the full interview with Morgan Housel below. He's been writing for a decade and a half, and this interview is a deep-dive into his process for coming up with ideas, refining them, sharing them, and building a career as an author.

Six farmers from Dorset terrified the most powerful government on Earth. 🇬🇧 Their crime? Asking not to starve. 1834. Tolpuddle, a village in Dorset, about seven miles east of Dorchester. Farm labourers' wages had been cut again and again. From ten shillings a week to nine. Then eight. Then seven. Then six. The national average was ten. Six shillings to feed a family for a week. A man called George Loveless, a Methodist lay preacher and farm labourer, gathered five others under a sycamore tree on the village green. His brother James. Thomas Standfield and his son John. James Hammett. James Brine. They formed the Friendly Society of Agricultural Labourers. A union. Here's what matters. Trade unions were legal. The Combination Acts had been repealed in 1824. Forming a union was not a crime. The landowners knew that. So the local magistrate, James Frampton, found another law. The Unlawful Oaths Act of 1797. Written to punish naval mutineers at Spithead and the Nore. They used it against farm workers because the society's initiation included swearing an oath of loyalty. All six arrested on 24 February 1834. Tried at Dorchester Assizes on 17 March. One day. Sentenced to seven years' transportation to the penal colonies. George Loveless was sent to Van Diemen's Land. Tasmania. The other five to New South Wales. For swearing an oath under a tree. Loveless spoke at the trial. His words are on the record: "My Lord, if we have violated any law, it was not done intentionally. We have injured no man's reputation, character, person, or property. We were uniting together to preserve ourselves, our wives, and our children from utter degradation and starvation." The government thought that was the end. It was the beginning. 800,000 people signed a petition. In a country of 14 million. On 21 April 1834, a procession stretched for miles through central London. Contemporary accounts put the number at up to 100,000 people marching. Lord Melbourne's government held out. Then broke. Free pardons were granted in March 1836 by Home Secretary Lord John Russell. George Loveless came home in 1837. The others followed in 1838. James Hammett was the last, returning in 1839. Every single one of them came home. They are the founding figures of the trade union movement. Every July since 1934, thousands gather at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival, organised by the TUC. A section of the original tree trunk is preserved at TUC headquarters in London. And a sycamore tree still stands on the village green in Tolpuddle. Right where they met. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

The arrest of Patrice Lumumba, 1960. Patrice Lumumba🇨🇩 was the first legally elected prime minister of D.R Congo. He was assassinated in 1961 following a military coup supported by U.S.A & Belgian imperialism which was admitted by the State Dept in 2013 authorized by president Eisenhower. For over a 100 years, the US and Belgium have played key roles in shaping Congo's destiny. In April 1884, seven months before the Berlin Congress, the US became the first country in the world to recognise the claims of King Leopold II of the Belgians to the territories of the Congo. In the few months prior to his assassination, Lumumba had been the first elected prime minister of the Republic of the Congo, newly founded on June 30, 1960. A revolutionary nationalist, he was a major leader in the country’s fight for independence from Belgian colonialism. He intended to use the country’s vast resources to improve the lives of the Congolese people. They had endured unspeakable suffering under Belgian rule, with literally millions having died on its plantations and in its mines. His rise to power alarmed Belgium. While having been forced to grant the Congolese people formal independence, it had no intention of giving them real independence or surrendering its economic interests in the mineral-rich land—rubber, ivory, and copper, diamonds, gold & more. Nor did U.S. imperialism. By 1960s, it too was exploiting the Congo’s resources & was determined to expand its economic, political & military influence in Africa. It wanted to establish a compliant, bought-off government that wouldn’t stand in its way & they saw him as a threat. The U.S. with Belgian assistance, began plotting to remove Lumumba from office and silence him...for good. To accomplish this, they took advantage of the fact that the country was not yet really in the hands of, as Lumumba had put it, “its own children.” Behind the façade of formal independence, Belgian military officers still controlled the Congo’s army and police. The mineral corporations still had tight control over the wealth of the country and over an apparatus of corrupt politicians. Secret agents of the U.S. CIA, Belgian intelligence, and other powers were working day and night to keep power firmly and permanently in the hands of forces subservient to imperialism. Among those eager to collaborate with imperialism was Joseph Mobutu. He had been a colonel in the Belgian colonial army, and was made head of the “new” imperialist-controlled army. And Mobutu was working hand-in-hand with the CIA on how to kill Patrice Lumumba. To carry out the CIA’s assassination directive, Mobutu staged an army coup d’etat, suppressing political organizations in the capital. On January 17, 1961, a firing squad shot to death the Congolese anti-colonialist fighter and leader Patrice Lumumba. His body was buried, but then dug up and dismembered and burned and dissolved in acid so there would not even be a corpse around which his supporters could rally.
