Maybe you've sung the old song about Joshua fighting the battle of Jericho. But this story is about more than the Hebrews defeating the Canaanites. This is a story about fighting from a place of victory to defeat the strongholds in your life.

BroodMinder has become one of the most trusted names in hive monitoring, and in this episode the team joins Jeff and Becky to share big news, new directions, and surprising insights from the field. Founder Rich Morris, software lead Amanda Stoltz, and global collaborator Lorenzo Pons sit down together during the BroodMinder Global Summit to talk about how the company has evolved, how beekeepers use hive data today, and what's ahead for sensor-based management.  Rich reflects on nearly a decade of development—from early temperature sensors to today's multi-sensor hive ecosystem. Amanda, stepping into a new leadership role, talks about improving the user experience, the move toward mobile-first viewing, and how BroodMinder is balancing innovation with accessibility for beekeepers at all levels. Lorenzo brings a global perspective, describing how sensors help European beekeepers manage pollination services and adapt to rising hornet pressure.  Together, the team explains why simple temperature sensors remain one of the most valuable tools for understanding colony health, how hive scales help track forage conditions, and how new technologies may soon support beekeepers in detecting varroa and hornet threats in real time. They also offer a candid look at designing products beekeepers can trust, balancing subscription models with affordability, and the humorous but real "Chart Addiction Club" that forms once beekeepers start watching their colonies' data more closely than ever.  Whether you're considering your first sensor or already monitoring colonies remotely, this conversation offers a clear, grounded look at how data tools are expanding what beekeepers can understand without opening a hive—and introduces the people shaping that future.

"In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention." — Pico Iyer How do you feel when you have nothing to do but enjoy your surroundings? Where nothing is urgent, and you can enjoy the moment you are in?  Never felt it? Maybe that's a problem you need to fix. Today's world makes us feel that everything must be done now, yet it doesn't. If you were to slow down, step back from time to time to think, you'd get a lot more important things done and eliminate much of what is unnecessary.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Slow down. There, I've said it.  If there were one distinguishing characteristic of those who control how they spend their time and when, it would be that they are slow.  Not in a negative way, more in an intentional way. They meet their deadlines, are never late for appointments and have clearly had time to read through the meeting preparation notes.  Even in one of the most stressful occupations, that of being a special forces soldier, they are trained to slow down. The US Navy SEALs have the expression “slow is smooth. Smooth is fast”, and I know from talking with former members of the UK Special Forces that a large part of their training is focused on slowing down and being deliberate with their actions. Of course, the problem here is that when you're faced with twelve urgent Teams messages, you have five missed calls from an important customer, and your next appointment is about to start, the last thing your instincts will tell you to do is to slow down.  Yet it is precisely in those situations that slowing down and being intentional about what you do next is what you do.  Slowing down calms your over-anxious mind, and when your mind is calm, you make better, more rational decisions.  And slowing down is what this week's question is all about. So, to kick us off, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Hanna. Hanna asks, Hi Carl, I work in a very busy Pharmaceutical company, and from the moment I step through the door at work, it feels like chaos. My phone never seems to stop ringing, and my Teams feed looks like it's alive. It's always moving! The day's a blur. What can I do to slow things down and regain some control? Hi Hanna. Thank you for your question.  One of the things I've learned is that we do have control over the speed of the day. I know often it feels like we don't, but we do.  The reason is that we always have choices, even when it often feels like we don't. You can choose to answer your phone or let it run to voicemail. You can choose to answer those urgent Teams messages immediately or not, and you can choose to go to the staff rest area and make yourself a nice cup of tea.  Unfortunately, it's natural for us to head straight into the storm of those phone calls and messages. And when we do that, we start conditioning ourselves to do it consistently.  Yet maybe the best thing you can do is pause, make that cup of tea, and strategically plan your approach.  This is often what I call the tactical retreat. Step back, pause, and look at what's currently on your plate and your most important tasks for the day.  However, you will only be able to do that if you can move from being a firefighter to becoming a fire prevention officer.  Firefighters charge straight into every issue with only one intention: putting the fire out. Fire prevention officers: pause, look at the bigger picture, and seek ways to prevent the fires from starting in the first place.  In all companies, you need both types of people. You're not going to prevent every crisis or urgent issue. Yet many can be prevented.  I gave one example in last week's episode.  If you have ten equally urgent messages to reply to, you're going to have to choose which one to respond to first.  If you don't have a process or a strategy for handling that situation, you will panic. Panicking slows you down because the act of panicking creates a lot of activity, yet nothing happens to deal with the messages.  The strategy I suggested was to use the first-in-first-out approach. Deal with the oldest first. This way, even if the last message you received is from your angry boss, at least you won't have to deal with eight angry customers as well.  And let's be honest, if you were to give yourself fifteen minutes to deal with these messages, nobody would be waiting more than fifteen minutes for your response.  There is one trick you can use every day that will help you slow things down. That is to protect the first thirty minutes of the day to get a handle on the day.  Hopefully, you won't have a crisis every day, but those first thirty minutes give you a chance to review your Teams messages, emails, and your plan for the day. You can also speak with your colleagues to see what's happening and deal with anything urgent that popped up at the start of the day.  More often than not, you won't need the full thirty minutes, but you have it protected, and on the days you don't need it, you can make yourself that lovely cup of tea.  Another trick is to give yourself a proper screen break between work sessions.  Now, this will depend on the kind of work you do. If you were a graphic designer, an accountant or a journalist, a lot of your work would be spent sitting in front of a computer screen.  If you were to stop after ninety minutes, get up, and walk somewhere for ten minutes without a screen, that screen break would give you time to stop and think. That thinking might be what element you can add or remove from the design you are creating, or where to place a particular paragraph in the article you are currently writing.  Getting away from your screen allows your brain to relax. It's when your brain is relaxed that you make better, more rational decisions.  Yet, when we are under deadline pressure, stepping away for ten minutes is often the last thing we feel we should do.  When you return, allow yourself 20 minutes to address any messages that may have come in while you were locked away doing focused work.  Sometimes I find it helpful to look at the messages before I take the ten-minute break. That way, I can think about the responses while I'm relaxed.  If you've found yourself reacting without thinking all the time, and from the moment you wake up, it feels like you're go-go-go, that may be a sign you need to retrain your brain to slow down.  The best way to do this is to set aside 30 to 45 minutes each morning. This time must be focused on you. Not your partner or kids. It's time dedicated to yourself.  You could write a journal or develop a slow, deliberate morning coffee ritual. Perhaps you could add some light stretching or go out for a morning walk.  As long as it's focused on you and the things you enjoy doing, you'll find that this morning routine helps to rewire your brain to slow down.  Now for an unusual one.  Avoid unnecessary conveniences.  Part of the Reason we all feel rushed today is the speed at which things can be done. We can order home-delivered food, have our laundry picked up and delivered clean and ironed, order our weekly supermarket shop online, and have it delivered straight to our door later that day or the next.  Convenient, yes. Good for us, no. I recently saw a video about why people in the UK began gaining weight alarmingly from around the late 1970s onwards.  Yes, there was a shift in our diet. In 1979, Marks and Spencer introduced their first ready meal. It was their famous chicken Kiev, and it sparked a revolution in how families cooked.  The M&S chicken Kiev was introduced at around the same time microwave ovens began taking off, and suddenly people were eating ready-made meals.  No more “real” cooking. Boiling vegetables, cooking meat, it was pre-packaged and additive-riddled food that could be cooked in less than ten minutes.  Then there were more and more convenient ways to travel. People stopped walking to the shops. People working in offices would walk the two metres to their car in the morning, drive to their office, park in the underground carpark, and walk the five metres to the lift (elevator) to arrive at their office, having walked no more than ten metres.  Then to spend the rest of the day sitting behind a desk.  All in the name of convenience.  Yet, this convenience is causing us to speed up.  Walking is one of the best ways for us to slow down. It's one reason why studies show owning a dog can reduce stress and improve health. Dogs need walking. For me, walking Louis is one of my favourite times of the day. I get to think without a screen, get some fresh air and relax.  And given that Louis will stop and investigate every tree and lamp post, it's a slow walk.  And the final tip is to plan your day before you finish the day.  In other words, give yourself ten to fifteen minutes before you close out the day to review your appointments for tomorrow, curate your task list for the day based on how much time you have between meetings, and allow for the unknowns—there are some.  Then pick your two must-do tasks, make sure they are highlighted and stop.  You cannot do everything in one day, but doing a little often moves things forward, and soon things you thought would take hours are almost complete.  Yet, in my experience, the most significant cause of our feeling that we have no control over our day or time is the way many people are chained to a screen.  The current statistics indicate that over 7 hours a day are spent in front of a screen (and that does not include TVs).  The problem here is that messages, emails, news alerts and much more are a constant stream. The more time you spend looking at your screen, the more anxiety you feel that you are falling behind with everything. When this happens, you are no longer in control; instead, your devices are controlling you.  Yet if you were to go out for a twenty-minute walk after lunch, or do your own grocery shopping each week, you would find yourself slowing down naturally.  Add that to perhaps reading a real book in the evening and spending 30 to 40 minutes in the morning doing yoga, meditation, or journaling. You'll find that much of the speed anxiety many of you feel will start to disappear.  As for walking into your workplace and getting caught up in the rush of things, take a deep breath, make sure you know what your two most important items of work for that day are, and between sessions of work, get up, move around, make yourself some tea or coffee and think about what one thing you need to do next.  I hope that helps, Hanna. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

   Cataclysmic disasters arouse the attention and response of people and nations, and very often the trajectory of history is changed in these unforgettable events. Do you agree?  But here’s an important question: Can you discern the work of God in these great disasters? The Sunday morning Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, 81 years ago yesterday, is an example. America’s response was a whole scale effort to enter WWII with a vengeance after that day and our world has never been the same since, including the greatest outflow of missionaries taking the gospel worldwide following WWII, including to Japan and all Asia!  (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Pastor Doug Anderson    “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today's chapter? I'm ready to hear from you, contact me here.

I. Introduction: Setting the Theme Review of November's theme: Share the Harvest. Introduction of December's theme: Share the Hope. Reflection: the church focuses on spreading hope to the community—but hope must also be shared within the church. Observation: the world around us is filled with discouragement; people crave hope, especially during December. II. The Need for Hope Many are discouraged by finances, the future, broken dreams, and depression. Even during the holidays, sadness often deepens for people without Christ. Key idea: We must understand the hope of Jesus ourselves before we can share it. III. What Hope Means for Believers Hope satisfies human longing for something better. Jesus Christ is the only one who can fill the inner void. Scriptural foundation: Proverbs 13:12 — “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” Proverbs 23:18 — “There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.” IV. Three Aspects of Hope in God 1. The Hope of His Arms Deuteronomy 33:27 — God's “everlasting arms” are our refuge. Illustration: a child running into his father's arms—mirrors how believers should run to God. God's arms are extended in comfort, guidance, and embrace. Isaiah and Deuteronomy emphasize God's outstretched arm leading His people. Applications: Run into God's arms for help. Don't fold your arms at others returning to faith—welcome them with love and compassion. 2. The Hope of His Eyes Story of the Prodigal Son: The father (representing God) sees his son coming from afar. Psalm 34:15 — “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous.” Examples of Jesus' watchful eyes: The woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:32). Zacchaeus in the sycamore tree (Luke 19:5). The widow's offering (Luke 21:1–4). Message: God sees, notices, and acknowledges even unseen acts of faithfulness. 3. The Hope of His Heart Matthew 11:29 — Jesus is “gentle and humble in heart.” The heart of God is full of compassion. Scripture examples: Matthew 9:36, 14:14, 15:32 — Christ's compassion for the crowds. Ministry analogy: working with people requires “shifting gears” like a manual car; compassion guides those shifts. Having the heart of God helps believers love and relate well to others. V. Living Out Hope Run into the arms of God. See people through God's eyes. Reflect His compassionate heart in word and deed. Encourage one another within the church as well as outside it. VI. Communion and the Source of Hope The foundation of hope is Christ's death and resurrection. Romans 8:31–39 — Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Communion as an act of remembrance for Jesus' sacrifice and love. Gratitude expressed to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. VII. Closing Exhortation Illustration: A woman (“Janet”) changed her environment with joyful faith—“Jesus brings joy.” Believers are called to represent Jesus well in their words, behavior, and daily interactions. Christmas focus: keep Jesus—the greatest gift—at the center. Invitation to prayer and dedication at the altar.

Walking in the Fellowship - Abide.From the series: The Story of God(bulletin here)

The 2025 season comes to an end with three drivers in contention to win the coveted trophy, but who will it be?  Lando, it’s Lando, you knew that though. So what did we think? We hope you enjoy.

This playlist is 65% vinyl friendly. Very poor. Scorchio! ‘1960/1970 Vintage Stereo Design Record Player, in bright orange, the emblematic colour of the 1960 and an example of Mod Ultra Space Age Pop Art Raymond Loewy? France French Designer Museum-worthy‘ says the Etsy seller, adding ‘It has a few cracks, one of the speakers has a small tear in the cloth and may need an overhaul, a full check up to see how and if it works and if it is complete… WE HAVE NEVER TRIED TO USE IT AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WORKS OR PLAYS.‘ Thank flip it’s down to €4600, from €7100. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. And a bit of a croak in my voice here and there. A temporary glitch, hopefully. Lyric of Playlist 146 Trickery involved but it has to be The Bots! 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Ruined In A Day (Reading Festival, 1993) – In Concert – 577, CD – BBC Transcription – 1993 I and my four-year-old, Alice were there, on what was a triumphant return, with the wonderful ‘Ruined’ in amongst new numbers from the band’s then recently released Republic album nobody would have previously heard in a live setting. BBC Transcription Services recordings – produced to service radio stations and usually for a very limited time frame for broadcast – had moved from vinyl to CD but with runs still only in their low hundreds New Order completists would be struggling to own a copy of this one… and I don’t. 04.42 MERIC LONG – A Small Act Of Defiance – Kablooey, LP – Polyvinyl Record Company – 2025 Book-ending a bunch of releases through the years as a member of The Dodos, Kablooey is seemingly Long’s first solo release under his own name since 2006. 07.43 BIOCHEMICAL DREAD – False Kings Of The Earth – 12″ – Pulsolid – 2004 Besides his work with Cabaret Voltaire this 12″ demonstrates there are gaps in my knowledge of Richard H. Kirk’s lengthy discography elsewhere. A copy of ‘False Kings… ‘ however is currently heading my way. RIP, Richard. 13.21 DARKSIDE – One Last Nothing – Download only – Matador – 2025 Including a past member of the 41 Rooms playlist parish, Nicolas Jaar, a US trio currently NOT releasing a 12″, though their Bandcamp visual hints otherwise. 18.32 AGENTS WITH FALSE MEMORIES – Agents With False Memories (extract), CD only – Ash International / Soleilmoon Recordings – 1996 Extract, indeed as Richard H. Kirk promptly returns to show 146 with this four minute snippet from a 53 minute track. 22.34 HUMANIZER – Shinobi – ? – ? – 2000s? Ignoring the slight Liam Gallagher drawl and with zero connection to any Death Metal band of the same name, this might have been Manchester sourced… and maybe with a Peter Hook connection. That’s what I’m vaguely remembering… from over a decade ago. Dunno… A ‘demo’ version, minus vocals, might also get an outing here at some point. 27.08 DIFFERENT GEAR – A Little Bit Paranoid (Extended Mix) * – 12″ – City Rockers – 2002 Courtesy of a ‘Phil Dirtbox’, the vocal is the winner here. 32.59 MERZ – Sorrow In The Sky (Nightingale Vs The Crow) – 7″ b-side – Lotus Records – 2002 The stuff that people sing about… and here with gusto and passion, to boot! 36.55 LUSCIOUS JACKSON – Why Do I Lie? (Sessions at 54th, 11.97) – Stream only – 1997 Vocalist, Jill Cunniff’s tale of lying sounding best live! 40.13 THE POPPY FAMILY – I Was Wondering – 7″ – London – 1971 A bit of a strange arrangement, this one. Albeit with a key change in there – verses with no choruses! Weird and wonderful… and maybe a bit brave in the pop world of the early ’70s, where the only PF track I remember hearing as a young teen was Which Way Are You Going Billy? That won’t be getting a 41 Rooms spin. 42.43 SOPHIE JAMIESON – Camera – I Still Want To Share, LP – Bella Union – 2025 Being over in Brighton recently it seemed appropriate I buy her clear vinyl album from the Bella Union shop and re Camera? It’s the subtle build in Sophie’s vocal and she’ll be here again at some point. 46.59 MARTYN BATES – The Rhyme Of Miracles – Arriving Fire, CD only – Ambivalent Scale – 2014 Martyn instils presence in a tune like few others for me. 50.28 JOSE FELICIANO – First Of May – 7″ b-side – RCA – 1969 ‘Feliciano seems to be on a heavy Bee Gees kick… after ‘Marley Purt Drive,’ he now does ‘First Of May’ and ‘Gotta Get A Message To You.’ And with his highly stylised projection, Jose manages to make them sound totally removed from anything the Gibb brothers originated’. – Disc (edited review of the album, 10 to 23), 15.11.69. As far as I know the Bee Gees tune was only ever released on a 7″ (my ‘format of choice’) for Jose in Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines and Spain and never as an A-side and arranger, Al Capps most probably winced if he ever got to see the NZ pressing below. Strangely, Jose’s very rarely performed the song live. I’ve only noted it three times, including two at London’s Jazz Cafe, in 1996 and again in 1998 and at the former it surfaced nearly under duress. With the audience (maybe unsurprisingly) constantly shouting out for past JF favourites Jose countered, ‘You know there’s a lot of songs you people ask me for that unfortunately… and I’m not being rude, a lot of artists are rude, they do it on purpose, but some of the songs that you ask me to sing, do you know that I haven’t sung them in years and I’ve forgotten the words and rather than make an ass out of myself that’s why I don’t sing them, OK? So, don’t take it personal… I don’t sing those songs anymore. But I’ll tell you what though there’s some that you ask for that I do remember, like this one. I hope that this one will satisfy you.’ That rare sighting was even more surprising considering Jose had taken the rare move of including his own recording of the song when guesting on Brian Matthew’s My Top Twelve for BBC Radio 1 back in June 1974. 54.11 JAPAN – Alien – Quiet Life, LP – Ariola Hansa – 1980 Bedford: Heronscroft, Putnoe, 1980 and Winkles, 1981… with a few Japan gigs thrown in at the time. 58.47 JOHN CALE – Chinese Envoy (M:FANS) – M: FANS, 2 LP – Double Six – 2016 ‘Approached as a reinterpretation of Cale's 1982 improvisational album, Music for a New Society… M:FANS is something of a funhouse mirror reflection of that work, using the basic song-structures of the original album as a starting point and using time, experience and the technological advances of the ensuing years to bring a new focus to the tunes. Some selections are comfortably familiar, while others have a significantly different footprint‘. – KCRW 01.02.32 ICEHOUSE – No Promises (Dance Mix) * – 12″ – Chrysalis – 1990 Fully five years after the track had seemingly done its thing it got an extended outing in Spain. 01.07.58 DAVID BOWIE – This Is Not America (BBC concert) – Bowie At The Beeb, 2CD – EMI – 2000 Part of Bowie’s special set for a small invited audience at the BBC’s Radio Theatre, in London, June 2000. 01.11.29 JOHNNY KEATING – Theme from Z-Cars (Johnny Todd) – 7″ – Piccadilly – 1962 Did I realise the grittier scripts involved here than had been delivered by Jack Warner’s strolling forerunner, Dixon Of Dock Green? Nah, I was five when Z-Cars kicked off but the theme (based on the traditional folk song, Johnny Todd) still brings a fuzzy feel. And Wikipedia will give you the full story on why Everton FC players come out to the tune at home games. 01.13.22 MARC COHN – ‘Walking in Memphis (Mahna Mahna)’ – Stream only – 1990’s? Cohn definitely wouldn’t have seen this coming, as the self proclaiming Mahna Mahna and the Snowths duo upstage him in a short but cheeky mashup (of sorts) I happened on via Youtube a couple of decades ago. I’ll openly admit I was a Muppets fan when they first aired on UK TV back in the mid ’70s and with Statler & Waldorf the stars for me I remember walking my girlfriend of the time, Jill home from work and then running up the hill to my house to record the show. Pre the age of video recorders, at one point there was a stack of ten to twenty AGFA(!!) cassette tapes of the shows in my bedroom. Getting back to Cohn, the fact he’s ‘racing’ a bit here actually adds to the cheeriness and I salute whoever was involved. 01.14.44 BERNARD CRIBBINS – The Hole In The Ground – 7″ – Parlophone – 1962 And like the Z-Cars theme I was five when this was released and I’d have definitely been singing this one in the years close after – and weirdly, although it’s the second tune from ’62 on this show, it’s not the last. 01.16.27 THE BOTS – Fuzzy Math – George W. Bush Greatest Hits, v/artists, CDr only – Spin The World – 2004 I heard this cut and paste work of art somewhere around its ‘release’ and as of 2004… ‘… utilizing the revolutionary Presidential Truth Filter(PTF). The PTF operates like this: All presidential statements are recorded, and made into a huge database. The database is searchable by speech, phrase, keyword, emotional intensity, etc. In parallel, an analysis is made of the historical circumstances of the particular presidency. The question must be asked, what is this man (all men so far…) really all about? What is a defining characteristic of this presidency? The final question which must be addressed by the PTF is, how can we use the assets in the database to concatenate the truth, and make the President speak it? The first attempt was Bushwack, in 1992. This turned into a huge hit before the Presidential election in 1992, though BMI denied that it was ever on the air at all. Through October of that year, stations such as San Francisco’s Live105 were playing it almost hourly. In 1997 Rock The House was a popular download at an early digital music download startup, muzic.com. In 2003 Bushwack2 was released at about the start of the Iraq war. The mood of the song is quite grim, as the truth of those times was interpreted by the PTF. In 2004, the PTF was reprogrammed to emphasize economics and general silliness, and Fuzzy Math was born. We think it’s the best one yet. Judge the results for yourself’. – thebots.net 01.19.26 DREXCIYA – Black Sea – The Journey Home, 12″ EP – Warp – 1995 First heard on either of Colin Faver’s or Colin Dale’s techno shows on KISS FM. Sounds more likely it was the former. 01.24.58 E-DANCER – Heavenly * – 12″ – KMS – 1997 The Inner City (‘Big Fun’) man, Kevin Saunderson with his techno head on. 01.28.51 CHARLES WEBSTER – Your Life * – 12″ – Peacefrog – 2000 Pitched up a bit (‘+3%’ says my file iD) this is a class slice of soulful techno/house. 01.33.11 CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON – Selfish – Download only – Stone Woman Music – 2025 This r&b musician has been around for a decade or so but I wouldn’t have guessed, judging by this slight departure to a ’90s UK garage feel (first half anyway). It suits her. 01.36.48 BENCH – Felice – Bliss, 2LP – Cylinder Recordings – 2000 The fifth appearance on 41 Rooms to date for this pretty much forgotten duo. 01.39.36 BLUE STATES – Your Girl – 12″ EP – Memphis Industries – 1999 First heard on a compilation CD a mate of mine, Sid put together, of fave tracks forwarded by mates of his. Not their own tracks, you understand. 01.43.45 THE MIRACLES – I’ll Try Something New – 7″ – Tamla – 1962 Hellfire! Those breakdown strings mid way are a bit of a jolt! Easy, Smokey! Writer, Robinson’s own version is actually the third to make it to 41 Rooms and his vocal arrangement sounds more like a remake than either Kiki Dee’s ‘straighter’ take or even the Supremes and Temptations stab at the song, when chronologically they both followed this Miracles single. 01.46.14 SMITH & MUDD – Blue River – 2LP – Claremont 56 – 2007 Electronic… downtempo… shuffling… drifting… or maybe flowing. 01.48.38 MERZ – A.M. (Good Morning) * – Single-sided, white label 12″ only – 1995 The second artist to return this show, multi instrumentalist and songwriter, Conrad Merz and his at times very idiosyncratic vocal (‘Many Weathers Apart’, for instance) seem to have trodden their own path through the years. 01.53.45 CRAIG ARMSTRONG (feat ELIZABETH FRASER) – This Love (& The Life That I Have) * – 41 Rooms Soft Mash Up only – Early 2000s I grabbed the extra voice – Virginia McKenna as Second World War spy Violette Szabo, reading the code poem The Life That I Have at the end of the film Carve Her Name With Pride – fully thirty plus years ago and I had a stab at floating it over This Love a long time ago but recently had another go. Aided by Jazz The Glass, we pitched her down slightly and then I took out a chunk of the poem in the second half. Not that it’s going to happen but I reckon it would need the song itself re-arranged/edited to work perfectly but methinks the idea is still a cool one. Show 147 hopefully surfaces Jan 4.

In this Cult of Conspiracy 'Throwback' edition of Walking in the Shadows: The Day of the Dead – Thinning of the Veil, we examine the moment cultures across the world have long marked as a crossing point… when the barrier between the living and the dead loses its strength. This is the season when ancestors are invited back, when memory becomes a doorway, and when the quiet around you changes in ways you can't quite explain.We look at the origins of Día de los Muertos, the rituals that keep the departed close, and the unsettling energy that rises when two realms share the same space. As candles burn and offerings are laid out, something moves at the edges — leaving you to question what's memory, what's tradition, and what's actually reaching back.Watch now and decide what you think is truly passing through that weakened veil.〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

She stands in New York Harbor as America's most recognizable symbol—but the story of the Statue of Liberty begins thousands of miles away, in the charming Alsatian city of Colmar, France.In this special on-location episode, Tom ventures to the picturesque town where sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was born in 1834. Walking through Colmar's cobblestone streets and half-timbered facades, Tom sits down with Juliette Chevée, curator of the Musée Bartholdi, to uncover the French side of this iconic American monument.Who was Bartholdi? What did the statue originally mean to the French republicans who conceived it at an 1865 dinner party? How did a rejected Egyptian lighthouse design become the template for Liberty's form?And how did two Frenchmen—Bartholdi and the historian Édouard de Laboulaye—manage to convince a foreign country to accept a colossal structure without any government assistance from either France or the United States?This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Share a commentWhen life doesn't play by the rules—when the righteous suffer, the wicked prosper, and laughter feels thin—wisdom becomes more than a virtue. It becomes survival. Walking through Ecclesiastes 7, we explore how Solomon, late in life, turns from image and excess to a rare, grounded wisdom that faces sorrow honestly, embraces humility, and trusts God's sovereignty when answers stay out of reach.We unpack four patterns that reshape everyday living. First, wisdom rejects perfectionism: no one arrives at moral flawlessness, and the gospel frees us to repent quickly and grow steadily. Second, wisdom refuses to be paralyzed by criticism: we learn to sift words with courage and humility, asking what might be true and letting God use it for change. Third, wisdom recognizes the limits of intellectualism: knowledge is precious but not ultimate, and discernment blooms where prayer and thought meet. Fourth, wisdom resists hedonism's empty promises: Solomon's pursuit of pleasure drained his capacity for covenant joy, reminding us that ordered loves—rooted in God—turn desire into durable delight.Along the way, we draw a surprising line to Johann Sebastian Bach, whose marked-up Ecclesiastes 7 and quiet margin prayers reveal why sorrow can tutor the heart better than easy days. The benefits of wisdom prove practical and visible: a unique steadiness in a noisy world, clearer choices amid life's riddles, and a softened face that signals a softened heart. If you've felt the tension of unanswered questions and the pull of quick fixes, this conversation invites you to a wiser way—one that steadies your steps, restores purpose, and keeps you close to the God who knows the end from the beginning.If this message helps you think and live more wisely, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so others can find it.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

Episode Summary In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan dives deep into a heartfelt tribute for his late business partner, Adrian Osh, highlighting the profound lessons learned from their collaboration. Karl then tackles practical listener questions, unpacking the realities of selling a home to fund retirement, offering advice for high-budget marketing campaigns, and providing a grounded view on integrating AI into business operations. He closes the episode with powerful mindset strategies for handling anxiety, depression, and the importance of presence, especially for ambitious business coaches. Key Topics Covered 1. Lessons from Adrian Osh's Legacy Karl shares an emotional reflection on what made Adrian Osh an outstanding team player, business partner, and mentor. He spotlights Adrian's quiet leadership, relentless work ethic, and the transformative power of being the "exception." 2. The Truth About Downsizing for Retirement A listener's question about selling a $1.5M home to buy a $750K condo triggers an honest discussion about the myth of "freeing up cash" through downsizing. Karl outlines all the often-overlooked costs and emotional pitfalls, and suggests alternative, wealth-building strategies. 3. Coaching High-Eight-Figure Clients with a Seven-Figure Marketing Budget Karl explains why branding, not features or direct response, is what separates great marketing at scale. He delves into Apple, Nike, and Tony Robbins as branding masters, and shows how to craft a compelling "through line" grounded in company values. 4. How to Actually Integrate AI in Your Coaching Business Karl delivers a reality check: stop chasing new AI tools and focus on operational fundamentals. He emphasizes designing processes and going "a mile deep" in workflow, rather than constantly seeking the next shiny technology. 5. Mindset and Presence: Managing Ambition, Anxiety, and Depression The episode wraps up with actionable mental wellness insights, including the importance of presence, the unavoidable link between ambition and anxiety, and practical self-care routines for the busy business coach. Notable Quotes "Building a business is not about being hyped up with excitement. It's being cool, calm, and collected when things go sideways." "Vanity metrics… they're kind of for the idiots. What really matters is clients in the door, retention, and cash hitting the bank account." "More companies go out of business from growth than lack of sales. It's growth without systems and foresight that does them in." "The highest level of marketing is branding… if you're doing your job right, people know what you stand for." "The money isn't in the buying or selling—it's in the waiting." "Focus is about eliminating distractions. With AI, everyone chases new and next, but the power is in going a mile deep." "Your presence is the greatest gift you can give your loved ones—and yourself." Actionable Takeaways Don't Romanticize Selling Assets for Quick Cash: Factor in all transaction costs and emotional realities before downsizing a home in retirement. Consider keeping existing property and leveraging it for rental income and long-term wealth. Build Brands, Not Just Campaigns: Anchor your marketing strategy in your core values and "through line" message—like Nike's "Just Do It" or Apple's "Think Different." Features and specs won't win at scale. Go Deep, Not Wide with AI: Maximize your existing AI tools for operational clarity before pursuing every latest update. Map out workflows, document processes, and resist the urge to chase novelty. Channel Ambition, Manage Anxiety: Remember anxiety comes with ambition. Rather than trying to eliminate it, learn to manage it through gratitude, presence, and regular self-care (walks, meditation, sunlight). Practice Presence in Relationships and Work: Intentionally slow down, step outside, and fully engage with your loved ones—especially during holidays. Presence is the antidote to time "flying by." Structure for Compounding Improvement: Success (in business and using AI) is about small, incremental improvements measured, tracked, and refined over time.

Industrial water professionals sit at the intersection of risk, regulation, and community trust. In this episode, Dr. Annette Davison ("the water risk doctor") joins Trace Blackmore to show how disciplined governance, clear supply chain thinking, and community engagement can turn fragmented water systems into coherent, defensible risk management frameworks.  Water risk from source to customer  Annette starts with a simple question most customers never ask: "Where's your water coming from?" She walks through a conceptual supply chain from source to end point—collection, transfer, treatment, distribution, and customers—then layers governance on top. Who holds custody at each handover point? Are water quality objectives clearly defined and documented? What happens when something "stuffs up," and how is that communicated downstream? For leaders, it's a practical reminder that risk isn't just about treatment performance; it's about clearly assigned responsibilities along the entire chain.  Governance, ISO 31000, and the Water31K framework  Drawing on her background in microbial ecology and environmental law, Annette explains why "you can't do a good risk assessment unless you've got the context right." She describes how ISO 31000 inspired the Water31K framework—an approach that is jurisdictionally agnostic and capable of spanning drinking water, recycled water, and recreational water guidelines. Using Water31K, her team walks into any jurisdiction and systematically maps stakeholders, legal and formal requirements, reporting lines, and internal obligations so utilities can see their governance landscape clearly before they start scoring risk.  Critical control points, AI, and learning from incidents  Critical control points may have started in the food industry, but Annette shows how they can be sharpened for water. Her test— "would a computer understand this?"—forces teams to close logical gaps and define thresholds and responses precisely enough to be automated. She also explores how AI and "agents as a service" could help analyze incident data, while warning that AI is useless if utilities haven't done the basics: monitoring the right things, at the right place, at the right time, with a firm grasp of supply chain risk. Her mantra: never waste a good incident; dissect it and make sure it doesn't happen again.  Regulations, public–private contracts, and community projects  Using Australia as an example, Annette unpacks the complexity of layered laws—Commonwealth, state, local—and the different regimes governing public, metro, and private utilities. She shares a five-part checklist for public–private contracts (quantity, quality, maintenance, ownership, operations) and explains how weak agreements can undermine water quality objectives and monitoring. In parallel, she talks about social initiatives like One Street and One Creek, community-led work on Rocky Creek, and bringing STEAM (not just STEM) into high schools so the next generation sees water as a diverse, creative career path.  Strong water risk governance isn't just about compliance; it's about making better decisions for customers and communities over decades.

Meet the Wild Things: Children's Books for Conservation Guests Hayley and John Rocco, Children's Author and Illustrator Team, Co-founders of Children's Book Creators for Conservation (CBCC) One million species are threatened with extinction, and the number one cause is habitat loss. We have the knowledge and the ability to reverse this trend by 1) protecting important areas from destruction, 2) restoring habitats that have been lost, and 3) rewilding restored habitats. Rewilding means reintroducing wild species in a way that brings back ecological balance. Guests Hayley and John Rocco are the co-founders of Children's Book Creators for Conservation (CBCC), a collective of children's book authors and illustrators who support conservation efforts with the mission to partner with organizations like Wild Tomorrow. Members of this collective use their creative storytelling skills to amplify the work of conservationists and make lasting connections with young readers that cultivate a climate of hope. Their stories empower children with the knowledge, inspiration and confidence they need to be change makers and future leaders. Hayley Rocco is the author of multiple books for young readers including Wild Places: The Life of Naturalist David Attenborough and the Meet the Wild Things series about endangered animals which she and her husband, John Rocco, created together. An ambassador for Wild Tomorrow, a nonprofit focused on conservation and rewilding South Africa, Hayley travels the world armed with a pen, a journal, and her camera, discovering stories of wild things and wild places. John Rocco is the #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of many acclaimed books for children, including Blackout, the recipient of a Caldecott Honor, and How We Got to the Moon, which received a Sibert Honor and was longlisted for the National Book Award. John, also an ambassador for Wild Tomorrow, ventures with Hayley into the wild in search of stories they can bring back and share with readers everywhere.

In this short video apologist Wes Huff confidently dishes out a bunch of mostly standard apologetics “answers” designed to sooth worries about “the doctrine of the Trinity.” In this reaction video I interact with Huff’s claims, clarifying what he’s saying and why, pointing out what he’s doing and not doing, and how he fails to engage with the seemingly non-trinitarian theology of the New Testament. He’s right that it is Christians and not only non-Christians who have various worries about what is imagined to be one single doctrine. But as I discuss, his answers should not soothe Christians concerned about (1) how one can supposedly derive a Trinity doctrine from the Bible, and (2) how Trinity speculations seem incompatible with the theology of the Bible.

Freedom Fighters | John 8:31–36 | Walking in the Liberty Christ Purchased In this powerful message, “Freedom Fighters,” Pastor Andrew Eldridge takes us deep into John 8:31–36, revealing Jesus' call for believers to walk in true spiritual liberty—not someday in heaven, but here and now. Many Christians quote “the truth shall make you free,” but Jesus teaches that freedom begins with continuing in His Word (v.31). Before truth sets us free, we must first abide—remain in, dwell in, and live by the Word of God. Freedom is not accidental; it is the fruit of discipleship. Using the powerful illustration of the American Revolution freedom fighters, Pastor Andrew reminds us that liberty is never won by passivity. Freedom must be pursued. Jesus—the ultimate Freedom Fighter—organized, strategized, sacrificed, and secured our victory on the cross. Now He calls us to stand fast in the liberty He purchased (Galatians 5:1). Throughout this message, we explore:

Some moments don't wait for permission — they announce themselves the second you open the car door. Our first story begins on an ordinary day in 2004… until a reflection in a minivan window shows someone standing in the front yard who shouldn't be there. A stranger. A woman. Walking calmly across the grass as if she belongs there. That would've been strange enough. But what makes this story unforgettable is not what was seen… but when it was seen. Because sometimes a reflection isn't just a trick of the light. Sometimes it's a message you weren't meant to miss. A family gathering, a celebration, a day that should have been simple — and in the middle of it, an unexpected glimpse into a moment that didn't belong to the living. A moment the storyteller couldn't explain, and still can't stop thinking about years later. #GhostReflection #RealGhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalEncounter #SpiritSightings #UnexplainedReflections #HauntedMoments #LeapYearCurse #GhostlyAppearances #TrueGhostStory #SeenBeforeSheWasGone  Love real ghost stories?

Katy & Jeannette dive into the question: can movement really change your DNA? Using clear analogies—like libraries, recipes, and sticky notes—they unpack what DNA is, how gene expression works, and what we really mean by epigenetics (the “on top of” changes that influence which genes get used). They explore how exercise can turn the “volume up or down” on metabolic genes, pro-inflammatory markers, and stress protein genes, and how many of these changes involve altering the arrangement and access to DNA within your cells.Using another accessible analogy of spider webs, they explore how forces on cells (through mechanotransduction) act as a powerful, non-chemical “nutrient” that can literally move your DNA and alter epigenetics and gene expression. This is why exercise and everyday movement not only have systemic benefits but also site-specific effects—and why the distribution of movement throughout your body matters just as much as how much you move.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00:23 “You can't change DNA”: Katy's green-room story with a physician who insists DNA is fixed.00:03:33 What is DNA?
