In crossword circles, a debut answer is one that has never appeared in the grid before -- and they tend to bet quite interesting. Today, for instance, we had 33A, Food-centric broadcasts originating in South Korea, MUKBANGS (sounds intriguing); 65D, Periods of abstinence from TV, news, social platforms, etc., MEDIAFASTS (sounds like a focused Dandelion Break); and 111A, Some large structures for pet owners, CATCONDOS. All great answers,  cleverly clued, and part of an even greater crossword: we give it 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.Show note imagery: The PENTAX 17, a film camera!!We love feedback!

In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, these modifications do not require additionaldisclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of votes under section1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and they do not require that holders of Claims or Interests beafforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan.Accordingly, the Plan is properly before this Court and all votes cast with respect to the Plan priorto such modification shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Filieledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 8 9 o of f1 133459J. Objections Overruled.11. Any resolution or disposition of objections to Confirmation explained orotherwise ruled upon by the Court on the record at the Confirmation Hearing is herebyincorporated by reference. All unresolved objections, statements, joinders, informal objections,and reservations of rights are hereby overruled on the merits.K. Burden of Proof.12. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of provingthe elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of theevidence, the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation. Further, the Debtors have proventhe elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) by clear and convincing evidence. Each witness whotestified on behalf of the Debtors in connection with the Confirmation Hearing was credible,reliable, and qualified to testify as to the topics addressed in his testimony.L. Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129 of the BankruptcyCode.13. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of section 1129 of theBankruptcy Code as follows:a. Section 1129(a)(1) – Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of theBankruptcy Code.14. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,including sections 1122 and 1123, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.i. Section 1122 and 1123(a)(1) – Proper Classification.15. The classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan is proper under theBankruptcy Code. In accordance with sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code,Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests at each Debtorinto Classes, based on differences in the legal nature or priority of such Claims and Interests (otherCaCsaes e2 42-49-09507557 5 D oDcoucmumenetn 2t 9266-32 FFiilleedd iinn TTXXSSBB oonn 1021//3113//2245 PPaaggee 91 0o fo 1f 3143510than Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which areaddressed in Article II of the Plan and Unimpaired, and are not required to be designated asseparate Classes in accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code). Valid business,factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of the various Classes of Claims andInterests created under the Plan, the classifications were not implemented for any improperpurpose, and the creation of such Classes does not unfairly discriminate between or among holdersof Claims or Interests.16. In accordance with section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class ofClaims or Interests contains only Claims or Interests substantially similar to the other Claims orInterests within that Class. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1122(a),1122(b), and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Codeii. Section 1123(a)(2) – Specifications of Unimpaired Classes.17. Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims and Interests in the classesdeemed to accept the Plan are Unimpaired under the Plan. Holders of Intercompany Claims andIntercompany Interests are either Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to have accepted thePlan, or are Impaired and deemed to reject (the “Deemed Rejecting Classes”) the Plan, and, ineither event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. In addition, Article II of the Planspecifies that Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims are Unimpaired, although the Plandoes not classify these Claims. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 101 o of f1 1334511iii. Section 1123(a)(3) – Specification of Treatment of Voting Classes18. Article III.B of the Plan specifies the treatment of each Voting Class underthe Plan – namely, Class 3 and Class 5. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.iv. Section 1123(a)(4) – No Discrimination.19. Article III of the Plan provides the same treatment to each Claim or Interestin any particular Class, as the case may be, unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest hasagreed to a less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim or Interest. Accordingly, the Plansatisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.v. Section 1123(a)(5) – Adequate Means for Plan Implementation.20. The Plan and the various documents included in the Plan Supplementprovide adequate and proper means for the Plan's execution and implementation, including: (a)the general settlement of Claims and Interests; (b) the restructuring of the Debtors' balance sheetand other financial transactions provided for by the Plan; (c) the consummation of the transactionscontemplated by the Plan, the Lock-Up Agreement, the Restructuring Implementation Deed andthe Agreed Steps Plan and other documents Filed as part of the Plan Supplement; (d) the issuanceof Exchange Notes, the New Money Notes, and the Noteholder Ordinary Shares pursuant to thePlan; (e) the amendment of the Intercreditor Agreement; (f) the amendment of the FacilityAgreement; (g) the amendment of the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement; (h) theconsummation of the Rights Offering in accordance with the Plan, Rights Offering Documentsand the Lock-Up Agreement; (i) the granting of all Liens and security interests granted orconfirmed (as applicable) pursuant to, or in connection with, the Facility Agreement, the ExchangeNotes Indenture, the New Money Notes Indenture, the amended Intercreditor Agreement and theCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 112 o of f1 1334512Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement pursuant to the New Security Documents (including anyLiens and security interests granted or confirmed (as applicable) on the Reorganized Debtors'assets); (j) the vesting of the assets of the Debtors' Estates in the Reorganized Debtors; (k) theconsummation of the corporate reorganization contemplated by the Plan, the Lock-Up Agreement,the Agreed Steps Plan and the Master Reorganization Agreement (as defined in the RestructuringImplementation Deed); and (l) the execution, delivery, filing, or recording of all contracts,instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents in furtherance of the Plan. Accordingly,the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Codevi. Section 1123(a)(6) – Non-Voting Equity Securities.21. The Company's organizational documents in accordance with the SwedishCompanies Act, Ch. 4, Sec 5 and the Plan prohibit the issuance of non-voting securities as of theEffective Date to the extent required to comply with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.vii. Section 1123(a)(7) – Directors, Officers, and Trustees.22. The manner of selection of any officer, director, or trustee (or any successorto and such officer, director, or trustee) of the Reorganized Debtors will be determined inaccordance with the existing organizational documents, which is consistent with the interests ofcreditors and equity holders and with public policy. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies therequirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.b. Section 1123(b) – Discretionary Contents of the Plan23. The Plan contains various provisions that may be construed as discretionarybut not necessary for Confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code. Any such discretionary provisionCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 123 o of f1 1334513complies with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and is not inconsistent with the applicableprovisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan satisfies section 1123(b).i. Section 1123(b)(1) – Impairment/Unimpairment of Any Class of Claims orInterests24. Article III of the Plan impairs or leaves unimpaired, as the case may be,each Class of Claims or Interests, as contemplated by section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.ii. Section 1123(b)(2) – Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts andUnexpired Leases25. Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption of the Debtors' ExecutoryContracts and Unexpired Leases as of the Effective Date unless such Executory Contract orUnexpired Lease: (a) is identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List;(b) has been previously rejected by a Final Order; (c) is the subject of a motion to reject ExecutoryContracts or Unexpired Leases that is pending on the Confirmation Date; or (4) is subject to amotion to reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to which the requestedeffective date of such rejection is after the Effective Date. Thus, the Plan satisfies section1123(b)(2).iii. Compromise and Settlement26. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code andBankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided underthe Plan, the provisions of the Plan constitute a good-faith compromise of all Claims, Interests,and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that all holders ofClaims or Interests may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest or any distribution tobe made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest. Such compromise and settlement is theproduct of extensive arm's-length, good faith negotiations that, in addition to the Plan, resulted inCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 134 o of f1 1334514the execution of the Lock-Up Agreement, which represents a fair and reasonable compromise ofall Claims, Interests, and controversies and entry into which represented a sound exercise of theDebtors' business judgment. Such compromise and settlement is fair, equitable, and reasonableand in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates.27. The releases of the Debtors' directors and officers are an integral componentof the settlements and compromises embodied in the Plan. The Debtors' directors and officers: (a)made a substantial and valuable contribution to the Debtors' restructuring, including extensive preandpost-Petition Date negotiations with stakeholder groups, and ensured the uninterruptedoperation of the Debtors' businesses during the Chapter 11 Cases; (b) invested significant timeand effort to make the restructuring a success and maximize the value of the Debtors' businessesin a challenging operating environment; (c) attended and, in certain instances, testified atdepositions and Court hearings; (d) attended and participated in numerous stakeholder meetings,management meetings, and board meetings related to the restructuring; (e) are entitled toindemnification from the Debtors under applicable non-bankruptcy law, organizationaldocuments, and agreements; (f) invested significant time and effort in the preparation of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Plan, Disclosure Statement, all supporting analyses, and the numerous otherpleadings Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, thereby ensuring the smooth administration of the Chapter11 Cases; and (g) are entitled to all other benefits under any employment contracts existing as ofthe Petition Date. Litigation by the Debtors or other Releasing Parties against the Debtors'directors and officers would be a distraction to the Debtors' business and restructuring and woulddecrease rather than increase the value of the estates. The releases of the Debtors' directors andofficers contained in the Plan have the consent of the Debtors and the Releasing Parties and are inthe best interests of the estates.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 145 o of f1 1334515iv. Debtor Release28. The releases of claims and Causes of Action by the Debtors, ReorganizedDebtors, and their Estates described in Article VIII.C of the Plan in accordance with section1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Release”) represent a valid exercise of the Debtors'business judgment under Bankruptcy Rule 9019. The Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' pursuitof any such claims against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates' variousconstituencies because the costs involved would outweigh any potential benefit from pursuingsuch claims. The Debtor Release is fair and equitable and complies with the absolute priority rule.29. The Debtor Release is (a) an integral part of the Plan, and a component ofthe comprehensive settlement implemented under the Plan; (b) in exchange for the good andvaluable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (c) a good faith settlement andcompromise of the claims and Causes of Action released by the Debtor Release; (d) materiallybeneficial to, and in the best interests of, the Debtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and isimportant to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve certain Claims among or againstcertain parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases; (e) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (f) given andmade after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (g) a bar to any Debtor asserting any claimor Cause of Action released by the Debtor Release against any of the Released Parties. Theprobability of success in litigation with respect to the released claims and Causes of Action, whenweighed against the costs, supports the Debtor Release. With respect to each of these potentialCauses of Action, the parties could assert colorable defenses and the probability of success isuncertain. The Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' pursuit of any such claims or Causes ofAction against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates or the Debtors' variousCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 156 o of f1 1334516constituencies because the costs involved would likely outweigh any potential benefit frompursuing such claims or Causes of Action30. Holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote have overwhelmingly votedin favor of the Plan, including the Debtor Release. The Plan, including the Debtor Release, wasnegotiated before and after the Petition Date by sophisticated parties represented by able counseland advisors, including the Consenting Creditors. The Debtor Release is therefore the result of ahard fought and arm's-length negotiation process conducted in good faith.31. The Debtor Release appropriately offers protection to parties thatparticipated in the Debtors' restructuring process, including the Consenting Creditors, whoseparticipation in the Chapter 11 Cases is critical to the Debtors' successful emergence frombankruptcy. Specifically, the Released Parties, including the Consenting Creditors, madesignificant concessions and contributions to the Chapter 11 Cases, including, entering into theLock-Up Agreement and related agreements, supporting the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases, andwaiving or agreeing to impair substantial rights and Claims against the Debtors under the Plan (aspart of the compromises composing the settlement underlying the revised Plan) in order tofacilitate a consensual reorganization and the Debtors' emergence from chapter 11. The DebtorRelease for the Debtors' directors and officers is appropriate because the Debtors' directors andofficers share an identity of interest with the Debtors and, as previously stated, supported and madesubstantial contributions to the success of the Plan, the Chapter 11 Cases, and operation of theDebtors' business during the Chapter 11 Cases, actively participated in meetings, negotiations, andimplementation during the Chapter 11 Cases, and have provided other valuable consideration tothe Debtors to facilitate the Debtors' successful reorganization and continued operation.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 167 o of f1 133451732. The scope of the Debtor Release is appropriately tailored under the factsand circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases. In light of, among other things, the value provided bythe Released Parties to the Debtors' Estates and the critical nature of the Debtor Release to thePlan, the Debtor Release is appropriate.v. Release by Holders of Claims and Interests33. The release by the Releasing Parties (the “Third-Party Release”), set forthin Article VIII.D of the Plan, is an essential provision of the Plan. The Third-Party Release is: (a)consensual as to those Releasing Parties that did not specifically and timely object or properly optout from the Third-Party Release; (b) within the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to28 U.S.C. § 1334; (c) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by theReleased Parties; (d) a good faith settlement and compromise of the claims and Causes of Actionreleased by the Third-Party Release; (e) materially beneficial to, and in the best interests of, theDebtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and is important to the overall objectives of the Planto finally resolve certain Claims among or against certain parties in interest in the Chapter 11Cases; (f) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (g) given and made after due notice and opportunity forhearing; (h) appropriately narrow in scope given that it expressly excludes, among other things,any Cause of Action that is judicially determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud,willful misconduct, or gross negligence; (i) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting anyclaim or Cause of Action released by the Third-Party Release against any of the Released Parties;and (j) consistent with sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129, and 1141 and other applicable provisions ofthe Bankruptcy Code.34. The Third-Party Release is an integral part of the agreement embodied inthe Plan among the relevant parties in interest. Like the Debtor Release, the Third-Party ReleaseCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 178 o of f1 1334518facilitated participation in both the Debtors' Plan and the chapter 11 process generally. The Third-Party Release is instrumental to the Plan and was critical in incentivizing parties to support thePlan and preventing significant and time-consuming litigation regarding the parties' respectiverights and interests. The Third-Party Release was a core negotiation point in connection with thePlan and instrumental in developing the Plan that maximized value for all of the Debtors'stakeholders and kept the Debtors intact as a going concern. As such, the Third-Party Releaseappropriately offers certain protections to parties who constructively participated in the Debtors'restructuring process—including the Consenting Creditors (as set forth above)—by, among otherthings, facilitating the negotiation and consummation of the Plan, supporting the Plan and, in thecase of the Backstop Providers, committing to provide new capital to facilitate the Debtors'emergence from chapter 11. Specifically, the Notes Ad Hoc Group proposed and negotiated thepari passu transaction that is the basis of the restructuring proposed under the Plan and provideda much-needed deleveraging to the Debtors' business while taking a discount on their Claims (inexchange for other consideration).35. Furthermore, the Third-Party Release is consensual as to all parties ininterest, including all Releasing Parties, and such parties in interest were provided notice of thechapter 11 proceedings, the Plan, the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan, and theCombined Hearing and were properly informed that all holders of Claims against or Interests inthe Debtors that did not file an objection with the Court in the Chapter 11 Cases that included anexpress objection to the inclusion of such holder as a Releasing Party under the provisionscontained in Article VIII of the Plan would be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally,generally, individually, and collectively consented to the release and discharge of all claims andCauses of Action against the Debtors and the Released Parties. Additionally, the release provisionsCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 189 o of f1 1334519of the Plan were conspicuous, emphasized with boldface type in the Plan, the DisclosureStatement, the Ballots, and the applicable notices. Except as set forth in the Plan, all ReleasingParties were properly informed that unless they (a) checked the “opt out” box on the applicableBallot or opt-out form and returned the same in advance of the Voting Deadline, as applicable, or(b) timely Filed an objection to the releases contained in the Plan that was not resolved beforeentry of this Confirmation Order, they would be deemed to have expressly consented to the releaseof all Claims and Causes of Action against the Released Parties.36. The Ballots sent to all holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote, aswell as the notice of the Combined Hearing sent to all known parties in interest (including thosenot entitled to vote on the Plan), unambiguously provided in bold letters that the Third-PartyRelease was contained in the Plan.37. The scope of the Third-Party Release is appropriately tailored under thefacts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and parties in interest received due and adequatenotice of the Third-Party Release. Among other things, the Plan provides appropriate and specificdisclosure with respect to the claims and Causes of Action that are subject to the Third-PartyRelease, and no other disclosure is necessary. The Debtors, as evidenced by the VotingDeclaration and Certificate of Publication, including by providing actual notice to all knownparties in interest, including all known holders of Claims against, and Interests in, any Debtor andpublishing notice in international and national publications for the benefit of unknown parties ininterest, provided sufficient notice of the Third-Party Release, and no further or other notice isnecessary. The Third-Party Release is designed to provide finality for the Debtors, theReorganized Debtors and the Released Parties regarding the parties' respective obligations underthe Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, anyparty who timely opted-out of the Third-Party Release is not bound by the Third-PartyRelease.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 290 o of f1 133452038. The Third-Party Release is specific in language, integral to the Plan, andgiven for substantial consideration. The Releasing Parties were given due and adequate notice ofthe Third-Party Release, and thus the Third-Party Release is consensual under controllingprecedent as to those Releasing Parties that did not specifically and timely object. In light of,among other things, the value provided by the Released Parties to the Debtors' Estates and theconsensual and critical nature of the Third-Party Release to the Plan, the Third-Party Release isappropriatevi. Exculpation.39. The exculpation described in Article VIII.E of the Plan (the “Exculpation”)is appropriate under applicable law, including In re Highland Capital Mgmt., L.P., 48 F. 4th 419(5th Cir. 2022), because it was supported by proper evidence, proposed in good faith, wasformulated following extensive good-faith, arm's-length negotiations with key constituents, and isappropriately limited in scope.40. No Entity or Person may commence or continue any action, employ anyprocess, or take any other act to pursue, collect, recover or offset any Claim, Interest, debt,obligation, or Cause of Action relating or reasonably likely to relate to any act or commission inconnection with, relating to, or arising out of a Covered Matter (including one that alleges theactual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of a Covered Entity), unless expresslyauthorized by the Bankruptcy Court after (1) it determines, after a notice and a hearing, such Claim,Interest, debt, obligation, or Cause of Action is colorable and (2) it specifically authorizes suchEntity or Person to bring such Claim or Cause of Action. The Bankruptcy Court shall have soleand exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether any such Claim, Interest, debt, obligation or Causeof Action is colorable and, only to the extent legally permissible and as provided for in Article XI,CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 201 o of f1 1334521shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate such underlying colorable Claim, Interest, debt, obligation, orCause of Action.vii. Injunction.41. The injunction provisions set forth in Article VIII.F of the Plan are essentialto the Plan and are necessary to implement the Plan and to preserve and enforce the discharge,Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release, and the Exculpation provisions in Article VIII of thePlan. The injunction provisions are appropriately tailored to achieve those purposes.viii. Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action.42. Article IV.L of the Plan appropriately provides for the preservation by theDebtors of certain Causes of Action in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.Causes of Action not released by the Debtors or exculpated under the Plan will be retained by theReorganized Debtors as provided by the Plan. The Plan is sufficiently specific with respect to theCauses of Action to be retained by the Debtors, and the Plan and Plan Supplement providemeaningful disclosure with respect to the potential Causes of Action that the Debtors may retain,and all parties in interest received adequate notice with respect to such retained Causes of Action.The provisions regarding Causes of Action in the Plan are appropriate and in the best interests ofthe Debtors, their respective Estates, and holders of Claims or Interests. For the avoidance of anydoubt, Causes of Action released or exculpated under the Plan will not be retained by theReorganized Debtors.c. Section 1123(d) – Cure of Defaults43. Article V.D of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of Cure Claimsassociated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed in accordance withsection 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any monetary defaults under each assumed ExecutoryCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 212 o of f1 1334522Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the BankruptcyCode, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitationsdescribed in Article V.D of the Plan, or on such other terms as the parties to such ExecutoryContracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. Any Disputed Cure Amounts will bedetermined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article V.D of the Plan, and applicablebankruptcy and nonbankruptcy law. As such, the Plan provides that the Debtors will Cure, orprovide adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly Cure, defaults with respect to assumedExecutory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of theBankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.d. Section 1129(a)(2) – Compliance of the Debtors and Others with the ApplicableProvisions of the Bankruptcy Code.44. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with all applicableprovisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code,including sections 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126, and 1128, and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018,and 3019.e. Section 1129(a)(3) – Proposal of Plan in Good Faith.45. The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith, in accordance with theBankruptcy Code requirements, and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that thePlan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstancesfiling of the Chapter 11 Cases, including the formation of Intrum AB of Texas LLC (“IntrumTexas”), the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation. The Debtors' good faith isevident from the facts and record of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, and the recordof the Combined Hearing and other proceedings held in the Chapter 11 CasesCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 223 o of f1 133452346. The Plan (including the Plan Supplement and all other documents necessaryto effectuate the Plan) is the product of good faith, arm's-length negotiations by and among theDebtors, the Debtors' directors and officers and the Debtors' key stakeholders, including theConsenting Creditors and each of their respective professionals. The Plan itself and the processleading to its formulation provide independent evidence of the Debtors' and such other parties'good faith, serve the public interest, and assure fair treatment of holders of Claims or Interests.Consistent with the overriding purpose of chapter 11, the Debtors Filed the Chapter 11 Cases withthe belief that the Debtors were in need of reorganization and the Plan was negotiated and proposedwith the intention of accomplishing a successful reorganization and maximizing stakeholder value,and for no ulterior purpose. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the BankruptcyCode are satisfied.f. Section 1129(a)(4) – Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable.47. Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors, or by a person issuingsecurities or acquiring property under the Plan, for services or costs and expenses in connectionwith the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases,has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Court as reasonable. Accordingly, thePlan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(4).g. Section 1129(a)(5)—Disclosure of Directors and Officers and Consistency with theInterests of Creditors and Public Policy.48. The identities of or process for appointment of the Reorganized Debtors'directors and officers proposed to serve after the Effective Date were disclosed in the PlanSupplement in advance of the Combined Hearing. Accordingly, the Debtors have satisfied therequirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 234 o of f1 1334524h.

Leitura do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Marcos 5,21-43 Naquele tempo, 21Jesus atravessou de novo, numa barca, para outra margem. Uma numerosa multidão se reuniu junto dele, e Jesus ficou na praia. 22Aproximou-se, então, um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo. Quando viu Jesus, caiu a seus pés, 23e pediu com insistência: “Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem e põe as mãos sobre ela, para que ela sare e viva!” 24Jesus então o acompanhou. Numerosa multidão o seguia e comprimia. 25Ora, achava-se ali uma mulher que, há doze anos, estava com hemorragia; 26tinha sofrido nas mãos de muitos médicos, gastou tudo o que possuía, e, em vez de melhorar, piorava cada vez mais. 27Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, aproximou-se dele por detrás, no meio da multidão, e tocou na sua roupa. 28Ela pensava: “Se eu ao menos tocar na roupa dele, ficarei curada”. 29A hemorragia parou imediatamente, e a mulher sentiu dentro de si que estava curada da doença. 30Jesus logo percebeu que uma força tinha saído dele. E, voltando-se no meio da multidão, perguntou: “Quem tocou na minha roupa?” 31Os discípulos disseram: “Estás vendo a multidão que te comprime e ainda perguntas: “Quem me tocou”?” 32Ele, porém, olhava ao redor para ver quem havia feito aquilo. 33A mulher, cheia de medo e tremendo, percebendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e caiu aos pés de Jesus, e contou-lhe toda a verdade. 34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te curou. Vai em paz e fica curada dessa doença”. 35Ele estava ainda falando, quando chegaram alguns da casa do chefe da sinagoga, e disseram: “Tua filha morreu. Por que ainda incomodar o mestre?” 36Jesus ouviu a notícia e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenhas medo. Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro? A criança não morreu, mas está dormindo”. 40Começaram então a caçoar dele. Mas, ele mandou que todos saíssem, menos o pai e a mãe da menina, e os três discípulos que o acompanhavam. Depois entraram no quarto onde estava a criança. 41Jesus pegou na mão da menina e disse: “Talitá cum” - que quer dizer: “Menina, levanta-te!” 42Ela levantou-se imediatamente e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E todos ficaram admirados. 43Ele recomendou com insistência que ninguém ficasse sabendo daquilo. E mandou dar de comer à menina. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amigocatolico/message

Leitura do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Marcos 1,29-39 Naquele tempo, 29Jesus saiu da sinagoga e foi, com Tiago e João, para a casa de Simão e André. 30A sogra de Simão estava de cama, com febre, e eles logo contaram a Jesus. 31E ele se aproximou, segurou sua mão e ajudou-a a levantar-se. Então, a febre desapareceu; e ela começou a servi-los. 32À tarde, depois do pôr-do-sol, levaram a Jesus todos os doentes e os possuídos pelo demônio. 33A cidade inteira se reuniu em frente da casa. 34Jesus curou muitas pessoas de diversas doenças e expulsou muitos demônios. E não deixava que os demônios falassem, pois sabiam quem ele era. 35De madrugada, quando ainda estava escuro, Jesus se levantou e foi rezar num lugar deserto. 36Simão e seus companheiros foram à procura de Jesus. 37Quando o encontraram, disseram: “Todos estão te procurando”. 38Jesus respondeu: “Vamos a outros lugares, às aldeias da redondeza! Devo pregar também ali, pois foi para isso que eu vim”. 39E andava por toda a Galiléia, pregando em suas sinagogas e expulsando os demônios --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amigocatolico/message

And I know other people who I would definitely describe as a leader. But in my head, I was just too young, not too much of an expert, too little experienced, and all of that. And then I think talking to you also helped me see that leadership comes in different shapes and forms, right? There's not one definition of what a leader is at all. Tim 00:28I'd like to ask you some questions. Do you consider yourself the kind of person that gets things done? Are you able to take a vision and transform that into action? Are you able to align others towards that vision and get them moving to create something truly remarkable? If any of these describe you, then you my friend, are a leader, and this show is all about and all for you. Welcome to the Sweet on Leadership podcast, episode 22.  Tim 01:02Welcome back, everybody. My name is Tim Sweet. Thank you for joining us again, for Sweet on Leadership. Today, I am joined by an absolute rain sunshine, which I keep saying, this is Greta Ehlers. Greta, thank you so much for joining us on the show today. Greta 01:18Thank you so much for having me, Tim, I'm really excited to be here. Tim 01:21Greta, I want you to tell everybody where you are in life. So, maybe just for the first few moments here, tell us a little bit about yourself. Greta 01:31Absolutely. So, I'm 20 years old. I graduated from university two years ago and I think right now I'm enjoying my first two years of full-time work. And I've been living with type one diabetes for 20 years, which is quite important, plays a big role in my life. We'll talk more about that later. And I'm very passionate about innovation, about innovative technology, especially diabetes technology. And outside of work, I love traveling, I love exploring, I love classical music, and talking to interesting and inspiring people all over the world like you, actually. So, I'm really excited to be here. Tim 02:15And I'm really excited to have you here. And I'm really honored that you'd spend the time with me. I think it's important to note that a 20 years of age, we might be tempted to equate the time that you've had so far and you're relatively new, or starting your career with someone who may not yet have a great deal of experience to offer our audience. And I want to hit that right on the head. Because the thing is, is that age is just one of those things that really is not a good measure of what a person's life experience is. And I think talking to you and learning more about you, I'd like you to take everybody who's listening today back into where your journey started. Because that was not, you know, just yesterday, you've been involved in something passionately for a number of years. And so take us back to that story about type one diabetes and getting involved in that. And really establishing yourself as an advocate in that space. Greta 03:09Absolutely. So, I think in order to go back to where it all started, you have to go back around 20 years, and that's when I got my diagnosis. And my diagnosis, obviously, or living with type one diabetes isn't me or all of me, but it plays a really big part in my life. And it's also definitely part of where I am now and why I'm here. So, I was nine years old. I was on summer holiday with my best friend, we went to the Baltic Sea. And for a number of weeks, I've been feeling really thirsty, you know, I've been physically unwell. And the only thing I remember from that holiday is not the beaches or the fun we had. It's mostly how thirsty I was, all the time. The amounts of times I woke up during the night being so thirsty, I had to go to the kitchen and have some water. I came back from holiday, my parents picked me up and they took me to a doctor because I wasn't well. And they took some blood tests and told me and my parents that I was only nine. So, I didn't really understand what was happening. But they told me, you have type one diabetes will rush you to the hospital, and then you will learn how to adapt and kind of make all the adjustments you need in order to kind of live with that chronic condition. Tim 04:38That's a very shocking and sudden introduction to having to adult really quickly at the age of nine. And suddenly and almost overnight. Greta 04:43Yes, absolutely. And it was just you know, a big word. I mean, all I heard back then being nine years old is you'll have to inject yourself several times a day for the rest of your life. And I think that's what I remember. And I think that's where my whole journey started. Tim 05:04When you think back on that time, you were dealing with it personally. But very soon the journey became more public. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Greta 05:12Yes. So, growing up, you know, they had these camps for kids with type one diabetes. And now looking back, it's obviously a great thing. But back then I was like, No, I don't want to hang out with other sick kids, I'm not going to do that. And that was fine. My parents were like, Okay, we're not going to force you to. But obviously, 10 years later, or 15 years later, I realized that I literally don't know anyone else who's living with the same thing, and has to manage all these challenges, which I have to manage every day. And, of course, you regularly check in with your doctor. But that's also not the same as you know, talking to someone who is kind of your age and lives with the same thing. And that's when I turned to social media, actually, I think I was 20. And I created an Instagram page. And my first intention, and my only intention back then was to get to know other people with type one diabetes and exchange and talk about it. Tim 06:14And did it serve that purpose? Initially?  Greta 06:21Yes, absolutely. I think the diabetes community is very unique, very supportive, very, like relatively small, but people are just very supportive of one another. And I very quickly felt like, oh, there's loads of people I can turn to, there's loads of people who go through the same thing. And kind of this whole new level of mutual understanding, I guess, which I never felt like I had before. Tim 06:46So, you're facing the situation. And in doing that, you felt the need to or wanted to process it, you wanted to be part of something that camp wasn't for you. But you found social media, and you found your people. And you suddenly were surrounded by these people that could see the world, or at least see it through your eyes, or at least approach a greater degree of empathy. But you didn't stop there. Right? You didn't stop there. So, then what began to happen as you found your people, and you began to use Instagram? Greta 07:22So, I think the beginning like the first year or something, I was just like, you know, I was kind of sharing pictures of my food and my blood sugar levels being like, Oh, I discovered this and that. And then, after some time, it must be like, four years ago, maybe I think, I realized two things. First of all, there are certain topics, which really impact my life, which are not spoken about enough. And the second topic was, there's lots of false information on social media. And basically, what I did, I created this platform to tackle both of these problems. So, what I did was researching papers, scientific journals, I was studying at university back then. So, I had access to all of these, you know, research papers. And I started speaking up about topics, which I felt when talked about enough, and that might be diabetes and mental health. I mean, now it is a bigger discussion about mental health in general, but five years back, it wasn't necessarily. Or diabetes and sex, how does a chronic condition like that may impact your sex life? And all of these topics, which I feel are quite a big part of people's lives, but they're hardly spoken about. And I found out things, which I never knew, none of my doctors had ever talked to me about it. And I started sharing these facts and research statistics over social media to help other people find this information and maybe answer some questions they had. Tim 09:05The view that I'm having here, of you getting really deep into it. What was the response that people started to show? Greta 09:13For me, it was absolutely overwhelming. Because I remember I started posting these research stats on these letter boards, maybe you have seen them, where you can stick on these letters. Because I was like, Okay, we need science-based information. But also it needs to be kind of easy to understand because not everybody can be bothered to read journals. So, I wanted to kind of share it in a simple, aesthetic way. And I remember when I shared the first of these boards, so many people shared it. I think, today, it's been a while since I've checked, but it got over 3,000 reshares and my account back then wasn't big or maybe had like 2,000 followers or something. The response was great, immediate–Tim 09:58And overwhelming. Wow, that's great. When we look at your journey, you had identified a need that people obviously felt, and you provided a solution, right, you provided a source. So, if I look at this, as we were talking and we were setting up for this interview, what's really interesting to me is that you saw this as being a social media influencer, you saw this as being a public figure in that space. But you didn't see this in other ways. You didn't see this necessarily in terms of leading this group. Can you tell me a little bit about that? And how that has changed for you? Greta 10:35Yeah, so I think for me, it was just back then something that I needed. And so I shared it with the world. And then I very quickly got the positive response. So, it made it very clear for me that other people also have that need. And then the logical consequence for me was okay, I'll make more of these. But I would never have seen myself as in somewhat leading people, you know, Tim 11:04After you had gone through this and moved through university and whatnot, can you tell us a little bit about then where life took you? You now have established yourself as a voice in the diabetic community, and people are responding and you're getting followers, you're seen as a source. How did that look for other parts of your life? What did that look like, as you went to finish school and find your first job, those kinds of things? Greta 11:29Even though in the beginning of these years, when I was very social on Instagram, and I got invited to speak at conferences, even before I dived into my whole professional career, it's never been my goal to end up somewhere in the med-tech space, where I am now. But after I graduated, I got a job offer for where I'm now actually from Switzerland, by someone who I knew over social media. That's why I'm saying kind of all of these things brought me here. Because Maura and my colleague who kind of reached out to me back then, we've been known each other for years over social media, she also has type one diabetes. And she asked me shortly before I graduated, whether, yeah, I could imagine moving to Switzerland, I was studying in Sweden. And she was like, there is this really cool technology center, driving diabetes innovation, and I think you would be the perfect fit. Do you want to move to Switzerland? And my first response was, hell no. I wanted to see the world you know, I've just studied and learned in a very small Swedish town, two years of COVID. My plan was to, I don't know, go travel, see the world apply for a job somewhere in Tokyo or whatever, see where life takes me. But then this opportunity suddenly just, I don't know, flew to me somewhat. And then I was like, actually, yes, this is exactly what I want to do, like make life easier for people with diabetes, just like myself. Tim 13:02Let's go a little bit into that organization that you're part of now and what your role is currently. Greta 13:06So, we are a privately funded nonprofit organization. And our high-level mission is, or vision is to make life easier for people with diabetes. That sounds very abstract, but it is ultimately really just that. And we do that by conducting research on the one hand and translating this research into real solutions on the market, which people with diabetes can use. And that is mostly startup support. So, I'm working in business development. I scout startups with innovative ideas on how to make life better for people with diabetes, and I help them get their solutions off the ground. Tim 13:54Probably a great time to say, if people wanted to find that particular organization, where would they look? Greta 14:00We're caught Diabetes Center Berne, you can find us on LinkedIn, you can reach out to me on LinkedIn, and I'm happy to conveniently enough, I'm also in the business development team. So, feel free to reach out to me or Google us, Diabetes Center Berne, and you'll find us. And we have a big innovation challenge a bit like Britain's Got Talent, but for diabetes startups. Tim 14:22Awesome. So, we'll put all of that in the show notes. And where can people find you on Instagram? We're only midway through the conversation here. But I want to make sure that we stop and let people know that they can take a look while they're listening here. So, where can people find you on Instagram? Greta 14:38It's gretastypeone on Instagram, all letters, no numbers. And it's been a while since I've been active, life is busy, but all the content is still there. Feel free to check that out. Tim 14:52Right, as a resource, it could be great for yourself or somebody that you know, dear listener, so make sure that you check that out, and again, we'll put the link in the notes. Okay, so here we are, we've got you out, and you are working and you're working in an area that obviously realizes the importance of your perspective and your experience and your passion as they've scouted you. Give us a quick snapshot of what is life like right now. Greta 15:22Right now I am five days away from a three-month trip. You know, I am based in Berlin, and people, even if they're not from Berlin, keep telling me, how do you even manage Berlin winter, it's so sad. Everybody's so grumpy. You honestly, you should just go somewhere else. This year often thinking yes, actually, why not? So, I'll be on the road traveling to Southeast Asia and to India. And very lucky to still work, we have a very flexible working environment. So, I'll take some time off. But I'll work some from a nice Airbnb somewhere in Indonesia, I hope. I'm very happy where I am, I love my job. I'm very lucky to kind of be motivated to go to work every Monday and really feeling like I can make a difference. You know, I don't feel like this tiny number in a big organization. I do feel like, in this area where work and my job, I can make an impact. And I can drive innovation. And this impact is somewhat visible for people out there. Tim 16:29Let's talk about that impact for a minute. If we think about the fact that you can pick up and travel, is that experience any different now, as it would have been, you know, when you were nine years old? Is traveling with type one diabetes, has that changed in the last several years? Greta 16:48Yes, I think that's why these technologies advancing are so amazing to me because I know how much easier everyday life is because back then 20 years ago, I had this blood sugar meter where I had to prick my finger several times a day, and I had, you know, glass vials and syringes. And now I have a small sensor on my arm and an insulin pump, which looks like a fancy MP3 player. And it does make it easier. And then of course makes traveling easier. And not just traveling but everyday life. Every single day. So, that's what I mean by saying this impact is very real to me. Tim 17:29And that's the technological impact. What with the mindset of a person with type one diabetes, would that have changed over the last several years? Or is there a mindset or a maturity that people have to go through when they're first diagnosed in order to feel free and able and, and all of that? Is there a mindset shift that people have either gone through on mass or that you see individuals as having to tackle? Greta 17:59Type one diabetes is so individual, I think everybody is going through their own struggles and feelings. Everybody's having their own, needs to take their own amount of time to kind of, you know, get used to that and accept the diagnosis, of course. One thing I would like to say is, sometimes what I hear working in this very tech-advanced field is that a lot of people think with all the tech we have now it's basically not something I have to think about ever because now I have the tech and it's basically doing the job for me. And funnily enough, that's not something which has changed at all. So, I don't think that maybe slightly, the amount of time I spent thinking about it has changed a bit. But it's still very much there, even though the actual handling of it has gotten easier. But you might talk to another person with diabetes, and they might give you a completely different answer. I think, for me, it has become easier, but it's still very much there. Tim 19:02I mean, I'm a high-maintenance person. Years ago, I was diagnosed with a nonceliac wheat allergy. That diagnosis happened to, this was way before gluten-free and everything was a fad. I was having health issues, and I couldn't drink a cup of coffee without, you know, jittering. And then I was quite sick all the time and the rest of it. And I happened to find a doctor who was also an endocrinologist. And he took me through a range of tests. And it resulted in me having to drastically change the way that I eat. Now, I'm an old schooler when it comes to eating wheat-free. And although I was working at a bread company at the time, which didn't make me a very popular person, but it became one of those health-based obsessions in a sense. It was not something that I was doing, you know, out of fad or popularity or anything like that. It was something that I had to be aware of. I knew what the consequences are if I slipped up, and it continues to be something that I am conscious of, and it is active, it's not something that I can push to the background completely. Would that be similar to the experience that you have? Although I'm sure you're for those of you that don't know, I mean, maybe tell us a little bit about, if you've were to let it off your mind. What's the result for a person with diabetes, some people probably still do not understand what happens if it goes out of control? Greta 20:33A lot of people think that type one diabetes is you have to watch what you eat, and then maybe you lose a bit of weight, and then everything's gonna be okay. But it's an autoimmune disease, we're still not really sure what causes it. And basically, for a healthy person, your pancreas produces insulin, and mine doesn't. And that's why I have all the injections or the insulin pump, which will give me the insulin I need. And if I wouldn't, then there's something called DKA, Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Very complicated word. But basically, you fall into some sort of coma at some point, and then you'll die. So, it's something you want to, you know, kind of, keep in range. Tim 21:19So, damage to organs, damage to all sorts of things can happen. Damage to the brain.Greta 21:24Yes. It is very serious, like, it's one of these, people like to call–Tim 21:26It's not a lightweight diagnosis. Greta 21:28Yeah, I think it's one of these. I've heard that sometimes, it's what people refer to as a bit of an invisible illness. Because I mean, you can't really see unless they maybe have like, my insulin pump in my hand or something. But it's still very much invisible. And I think that's sometimes why people think it's not too serious. I bet that's what a lot of different conditions as well. But. Tim 21:54So, we see you moving through life, you've got this great job, you're about to embark on this travel adventure, you're enabled to travel in those ways. I did ask you two questions at once there. So, that's my bad, but that in terms of it being the ever-present, you know, friend, or whatever you want to call it, that obsession. Is that similar to your experience, but it's not something that's ever far from mind? It's just not necessarily. Greta 22:20Yes. Yeah, exactly. I think that pretty much nails it. Tim 22:23Yeah. I was thinking of it almost like a person when you have that little friend joining you the whole time. How do you feel about it now? What role as a character in your life does diabetes play now? Greta 22:38It's an interesting kind of thought sometimes. Because, for me, obviously, the reason why I work in diabetes tech is probably because I got diagnosed back then. And I've talked to some different people. And I know people who say, Oh, I'm actually somewhat kind of grateful that I got this diagnosis because otherwise, I would not be where I am today. And whilst I think that it is, that is completely true, also, for me, I wouldn't be where I am today if I wouldn't live with diabetes. I'm 100% convinced I would have found another passion. So, I am, of course, I'm grateful where I am now. I love my job. I love making impacts, working with all these great people. But I'm also convinced I could have found all of that somewhere else. Tim 23:26Would have found all of that. Greta 23:28Yeah. Tim 23:29If I may, let's shift gears on the conversation here a little bit because you're starting to traipse into my world, something I would coin is natural leadership. Right? We've got a lot of decent research out there right now that say that people are either wired to be leaders or not. Gallup estimates it at around 10% of the population. I personally think it's much lower. Because even if you have the personality, neuro structure, whatever you want to call it, to be interested and gravitate towards leading, and you will find a thing to lead. If it's not diabetes, it's something else. Not everyone has the chance. Some people have socioeconomic conditions, or they're a certain part of the world or they live within certain traditions, or they have certain life situations and trauma that have kept them from the leadership sphere. And so even if 10% of people have the possibility, I tend to think it's closer to about six 6% of people will actually express themselves as leaders. And the definition which listeners here will have heard me say before is of that 6%, 80% of them will be damaged in the process. They will suffer somehow in their life, or make trade-offs for the good of others and for the good of a cause. But they will not stop. And that really is a mark of a leader in my mind, is well some will emerge unscathed. Others will have to make sacrifices in order to uphold their values and the cause that they're head of. And so when you and I were talking about this off camera, this is a show for leaders. This is a show, I feature people that I am inspired by and see their role in the world as being at the forefront of something, having insight that they can share with others. But you had a very interesting reaction to that, didn't you? So, can you talk a little bit about that? I think that that's one of the most interesting parts of your and mine getting to know each other. Greta 25:36Yes, no, I do remember when we had a chat, and I was asked to be a guest on this podcast. I had two thoughts. And the first one was, I felt so honored. I also thought, like, why am I invited on the leadership podcast, a podcast on leadership? Because I would have not described myself as a leader. Tim 25:58May I describe you as the leader for a moment? Greta 26:00Please, yes, go ahead. Tim 26:01Now, let's talk about the story that you've told us so far. What I want people to be thinking in the back of their minds, as they're listening to this, is that many of the attributes that Greta you've demonstrated, so well, through your journey, are things that certain people have to back up and go in actually pursue intentionally, they don't land on them as naturally. So, let me take you through some of what I was thinking. You were faced with the situation, the situation of being diagnosed at a young age with type one diabetes. And very quickly, you found your people, you found a group of people that had similar interests or were facing similar challenges. But you didn't stop there, you opened yourself up, and you shared, and you let people in. And you made your individual journey, what you've said is really unique. But you made it accessible to people so they could see you going through it. And that's a mark of a leader. And then you took topics that people had fear about, or were not talking about, or that weren't at the forefront of professional like the doctor's minds. And you made them safe to talk about, and that's the mark of a leader. And then you took it upon yourself to guide and find the truth and do the research, and declutter and denoise life for others. And that's the mark of a leader. And then you built a platform, and a collision space where people could come together and ask awkward questions, and get information that they may not find elsewhere and find others, find those people that you'd found earlier. And those creating of collision spaces, I mean, that is the mark of a really impressive leader. And then I'm getting a little repetitive here, but bear with me. And then you spoke up and you stood for something. And you know what there's that statement that says, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. And I think that's okay, that's a fine statement. But there's another notion, and that is if you stand up, and you stand up, and people know what you stand for, they will stand with you. And if they can see themselves in that, then they find standing up for themselves easier, because you're there as that sort of ladder to being self-representative and advocating for yourself. And you broke that silence and was able to speak up on topics of mental health and sex and how it influences youth and probably maturing through all of this, and what it meant to find yourself. And if that's not leading, I really don't know what it is. So, just from my part, when we talk about all of those attributes, the fact that you created something you were taking assertive control over a really nebulous situation, and making it real and giving people stability. And that is leading a movement, and I am so impressed. And again, just have to give you such credit for doing that. And do it so consistently and continue to do it. So, anyway, that's a little bit of a, I don't want that to be too aggressive or too much like a lecture. Greta 29:22Thank you so much. It means a lot because I think when I yeah, when we had that chat about like me coming onto this podcast, it really kind of forced me to reflect. So, it was actually really good because I was like, I don't think I'm a leader. I just, you know, identify this change that I needed. And I did it and then I think it was talking to my girlfriend over Sunday brunch and she was like, yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, it took me some time to realize that actually, that might be leadership too. You know. Tim 29:55I hope you embrace that. I mean, you already are but you're having an amazing life and you're helping others, I'm sure, find theirs. And that's just something that's very inspiring, and what might life be like for you? If you really lean into this notion of being a leader? Would it change your approach at all? Would it embolden you in any way? Greta 30:17I think it makes leadership more accessible, somehow. Growing up and stuff, there was this really distinct image of a leader in my head. And I know other people who I would definitely describe as a leader, but in my head, I was just too young, not too much of an expert, too little experience, and all of that. And then I think talking to you also helped seeing that leadership comes in different shapes and forms, right? There's not one definition of what a leader is at all. Tim 30:52In fact, it can be awfully debilitating, and toxic, and exclusionary, if we try to define leaders as being something that people have to be and have a very narrow definition on top of all of that. Leadership is such a, it's such a personal expression. And, you know, the first responsibility I think of every leader is to be really fluent in themselves, and how they think, and, and where their own, you know, tensions and biases and whatnot are, so that they can flow with that, is most certainly not one size fits all. You may be pondering the label. But as I say, the action has been proven, you've got a resume that I think many people would envy, understanding that it was not the easiest way to get there. And that you were probably thrust into that more than others have been. But boy, did you ever take up the charge? So, good on you for picking up the flag and running with it. So, Greta, let me ask you, as we sort of wrap up here, let me ask you a couple of questions. If people want to find you, we talked about that, can just give them another place to find you personally. Greta 32:13I think that the best one to reach out to is LinkedIn. So, if you look for my name on LinkedIn or the link, if you put it somewhere. Tim 32:20We'll absolutely do that. What is the thing you're most excited about right now, besides the travel that you've got on the go? Greta 32:26I think personal growth. I feel like next year kind of has a lot in store for me been talking to loads of interesting people. I feel like this year, I've really, I'm on a good way of finding out what I want to dive into, like my professional life. And I'm very lucky to be surrounded by so many great people also professionally, who are so willing to help me get there. I'm very excited to learn and grow. And I think that's what next year has in store for me. And it makes me very excited. Tim 33:00I don't want to put any pressure on you. But if you begin to post both your travels and some of this on your Instagram, I am eager to follow along. Don't make it become all-encompassing or ruin your trip. But boy, I think any of us who are listening today would sure be interested to see what happens next. Greta, if you had one wish for our listeners today, what would it be? Greta 33:24It's not as much as a wish as something I really learned in the past like two weeks. And it is that leadership can be finding something you really believe in and driving it forward. And if it is something you believe in, and you drive it forward, then others will follow. And I think that's the whole kind of thing that I learned that I made a change that I needed and others followed. And I've never kind of lost that. And that's what makes the whole thing so unique. Tim 34:01Absolutely. And that you're so stalwart in it. And so consistent. It's been a real pleasure to talk to you today. I hope people take from your story, everything that I'm taking from it because it is absolutely inspiring. And absolutely just a real honor to have you here. Greta 34:17Thank you so much. It's been so great chatting to you. Tim 34:20Let's make a plan that when you're back from your trip, and as life moves on, we do this again. Greta 34:27Absolutely. I would love that. I hope by that time next year. I'm kinda you know, have new things to talk about. Tim 34:36Greta it's been absolutely my pleasure. We'll talk to you soon. Greta 34:38Talk soon Tim, thank you. Tim 34:45Thank you so much for listening to Sweet on Leadership.

Evangelho: Marcos 5,21-43 Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia. O Cristo tomou sobre si nossas dores, / carregou em seu corpo as nossas fraquezas (Mt 8,17). – R. Proclamação do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Marcos – Naquele tempo, 21Jesus atravessou de novo, numa barca, para a outra margem. Uma numerosa multidão se reuniu junto dele e Jesus ficou na praia. 22Aproximou-se, então, um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo. Quando viu Jesus, caiu a seus pés 23e pediu com insistência: “Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem e põe as mãos sobre ela, para que ela sare e viva!” 24Jesus então o acompanhou. Uma numerosa multidão o seguia e o comprimia. 25Ora, achava-se ali uma mulher que, há doze anos, estava com uma hemorragia; 26tinha sofrido nas mãos de muitos médicos, gastou tudo o que possuía e, em vez de melhorar, piorava cada vez mais. 27Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, aproximou-se dele por detrás, no meio da multidão, e tocou na sua roupa. 28Ela pensava: “Se eu ao menos tocar na roupa dele, ficarei curada”. 29A hemorragia parou imediatamente, e a mulher sentiu dentro de si que estava curada da doença. 30Jesus logo percebeu que uma força tinha saído dele. E, voltando-se no meio da multidão, perguntou: “Quem tocou na minha roupa?” 31Os discípulos disseram: “Estás vendo a multidão que te comprime e ainda perguntas: ‘Quem me tocou?'” 32Ele, porém, olhava ao redor para ver quem havia feito aquilo. 33A mulher, cheia de medo e tremendo, percebendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e caiu aos pés de Jesus e contou-lhe toda a verdade. 34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te curou. Vai em paz e fica curada dessa doença”. 35Ele estava ainda falando quando chegaram alguns da casa do chefe da sinagoga e disseram a Jairo: “Tua filha morreu. Por que ainda incomodar o mestre?” 36Jesus ouviu a notícia e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenhas medo. Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro? A criança não morreu, mas está dormindo”. 40Começaram então a caçoar dele. Mas ele mandou que todos saíssem, menos o pai e a mãe da menina e os três discípulos que o acompanhavam. Depois entraram no quarto onde estava a criança. 41Jesus pegou na mão da menina e disse: “Talitá cum” – que quer dizer: “Menina, levanta-te!” 42Ela levantou-se imediatamente e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E todos ficaram admirados. 43Ele recomendou com insistência que ninguém ficasse sabendo daquilo. E mandou dar de comer à menina. – Palavra da salvação.

Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro? A criança não morreu, mas está dormindo”. 40Começaram então a caçoar dele. Mas, ele mandou que todos saíssem, menos o pai e a mãe da menina, e os três discípulos que o acompanhavam. Depois entraram no quarto onde estava a criança. 41Jesus pegou na mão da menina e disse: “Talitá cum” — que quer dizer: “Menina, levanta-te!” 42Ela levantou-se imediatamente e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E todos ficaram admirados. 43Ele recomendou com insistência que ninguém ficasse sabendo daquilo. E mandou dar de comer à menina. — Palavra da Salvação. — Glória a vós, Senhor. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pe-jose-vicente/message

Naquele tempo, 21Jesus atravessou de novo, numa barca, para outra margem. Uma numerosa multidão se reuniu junto dele, e Jesus ficou na praia. 22Aproximou-se, então, um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo. Quando viu Jesus, caiu a seus pés, 23e pediu com insistência: “Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem e põe as mãos sobre ela, para que ela sare e viva!” 24Jesus então o acompanhou. Numerosa multidão o seguia e comprimia. 25Ora, achava-se ali uma mulher que, há doze anos, estava com hemorragia; 26tinha sofrido nas mãos de muitos médicos, gastou tudo o que possuía, e, em vez de melhorar, piorava cada vez mais. 27Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, aproximou-se dele por detrás, no meio da multidão, e tocou na sua roupa. 28Ela pensava: “Se eu ao menos tocar na roupa dele, ficarei curada”. 29A hemorragia parou imediatamente, e a mulher sentiu dentro de si que estava curada da doença. 30Jesus logo percebeu que uma força tinha saído dele. E, voltando-se no meio da multidão, perguntou: “Quem tocou na minha roupa?” 31Os discípulos disseram: “Estás vendo a multidão que te comprime e ainda perguntas: ‘Quem me tocou'?” 32Ele, porém, olhava ao redor para ver quem havia feito aquilo. 33A mulher, cheia de medo e tremendo, percebendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e caiu aos pés de Jesus, e contou-lhe toda a verdade. 34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te curou. Vai em paz e fica curada dessa doença”. 35Ele estava ainda falando, quando chegaram alguns da casa do chefe da sinagoga, e disseram a Jairo: “Tua filha morreu. Por que ainda incomodar o mestre?” 36Jesus ouviu a notícia e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenhas medo. Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro?

Storytelling, pain, rage, and cultural competency are just some of the themes we will explore in this episode. Our guest, Dr. Haider Warraich, grew up and went to medical school in Pakistan before completing residency at Harvard Medical School and fellowship in cardiovascular medicine at Duke University Medical Center. Today, he is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and the associate director of the Heart Failure Program at the VA Boston Health Care System. A prolific writer, he contributes regularly to the New York Times, Washington Post, and others. He is the author of three books on medicine for the general audience, most recently 2022's The Song of Our Scars: The Untold Story of Pain, which examines the nature of pain not only as a physical, but also a historical and cultural experience. Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Warraich compares his medical experiences in Pakistan and in the US, discusses why he strives to incorporate palliative care into his cardiology work, and offers an impassioned critique of how modern medicine fails to address patients' suffering.In this episode, you will hear about:How Dr. Warraich went from thinking of his medical training as an “arranged marriage” to loving the career - 2:10How Dr. Warraich stays connected to his patients and his work despite the intense pressure and responsibility he experiences on a daily basis - 7:03What drew Dr. Warraich to cardiology and end-of-life care - 13:22Dr. Warraich's reflections on the gaps in the care of patients with heart disease and how he now strives to reform the practice of cardiology - 17:33A discussion of how the medical culture of Pakistan differs from the United States and how they can be shockingly similar - 22:06How Tom Brady, the football quarterback, inspires Dr. Warraich to stay connected to the emotional core of his practice - 28:49Why it's important to stay in a field if you care about it, especially if you hope to change and improve it - 35:37Dr. Warraich's reflections on the nature of pain and how he hopes to change our cultural conversation around it - 41:38How acute pain and chronic pain are very different processes and how we can address suffering as a subject and deeply personal experience - 45:17You can follow Dr. Warraich on Twitter @haiderwarraich.Dr. Haider Warraich is the author of several books, including The Song of Our Scars: The Untold Story of Pain, Modern Death: How Medicine Changed the End of Life, and State of the Heart: Exploring the History, Science, and Future of Cardiac Disease.In this episode, we discuss the article “At the Edge of the Inside” by David Brooks, for the New York Times, and the book Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, and feel free to leave a suggestion in the comments or send an email to info@thedoctorsart.com.Copyright The Doctor's Art Podcast 2023

Primeira Leitura: Hebreus 2,14-18 Leitura da carta aos Hebreus – 14Visto que os filhos têm em comum a carne e o sangue, também Jesus participou da mesma condição, para assim destruir, com a sua morte, aquele que tinha o poder da morte, isto é, o diabo, 15e libertar os que, por medo da morte, estavam a vida toda sujeitos à escravidão. 16Pois, afinal, não veio ocupar-se com os anjos, mas com a descendência de Abraão. 17Por isso devia fazer-se em tudo semelhante aos irmãos, para se tornar um sumo sacerdote misericordioso e digno de confiança nas coisas referentes a Deus, a fim de expiar os pecados do povo. 18Pois, tendo ele próprio sofrido ao ser tentado, é capaz de socorrer os que agora sofrem a tentação. – Palavra do Senhor. Salmo Responsorial: 104(105) O Senhor se lembra sempre da Aliança. 1. Dai graças ao Senhor, gritai seu nome, / anunciai entre as nações seus grandes feitos! / Cantai, entoai salmos para ele, / publicai todas as suas maravilhas! – R. 2. Gloriai-vos em seu nome que é santo, / exulte o coração que busca a Deus! / Procurai o Senhor Deus e seu poder, / buscai constantemente a sua face! – R. 3. Descendentes de Abraão, seu servidor, / e filhos de Jacó, seu escolhido, / ele mesmo, o Senhor, é nosso Deus, / vigoram suas leis em toda a terra. – R. 4. Ele sempre se recorda da Aliança, / promulgada a incontáveis gerações; / da Aliança que ele fez com Abraão / e do seu santo juramento a Isaac. – R. Evangelho: Marcos 1,29-39 Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia. Minhas ovelhas escutam minha voz, / eu as conheço e elas me seguem (Jo 10,27). – R. Proclamação do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Marcos – Naquele tempo, 29Jesus saiu da sinagoga e foi, com Tiago e João, para a casa de Simão e André. 30A sogra de Simão estava de cama, com febre, e eles logo contaram a Jesus. 31E ele se aproximou, segurou sua mão e ajudou-a a levantar-se. Então a febre desapareceu, e ela começou a servi-los. 32À tarde, depois do pôr do sol, levaram a Jesus todos os doentes e os possuídos pelo demônio. 33A cidade inteira se reuniu em frente da casa. 34Jesus curou muitas pessoas de diversas doenças e expulsou muitos demônios. E não deixava que os demônios falassem, pois sabiam quem ele era. 35De madrugada, quando ainda estava escuro, Jesus se levantou e foi rezar num lugar deserto. 36Simão e seus companheiros foram à procura de Jesus. 37Quando o encontraram, disseram: “Todos estão te procurando”. 38Jesus respondeu: “Vamos a outros lugares, às aldeias da redondeza! Devo pregar também ali, pois foi para isso que eu vim”. 39E andava por toda a Galileia, pregando em suas sinagogas e expulsando os demônios. – Palavra da salvação.

Any crossword that works PRIM and PRAM into the grid, and niminy-piminy into the clues, deserves recognition, and we doff our hats in honor of Matthew Stock and Nam Jin Yoon's fabulous Friday puzzle. The mere presence of 33A, Drink with an onomatopoeic name, SLURPEE, and 54A, Utter disasters, TIREFIRES, tells you that you're probably going to be in for a good time, and the rest of the puzzle has that same spiciness, rather like a 42A. Thick tortilla that's the national dish in El Salvador, PUPUSA. Deliciosa!

Workers' Compensation Fraudster Settles Exposure & Find Failure to Pay is Expensive Arch-Concept Construction, Inc. and its president Dusan Lazetic appealed from the Law Division's April 1, 2021 order enforcing the parties' settlement agreement. Judge Linda Grasso Jones entered the order after determining that defendants' performance of its obligations under the agreement was not excused by the doctrine of impossibility, that she could not rewrite the parties' agreement, and that the damages stipulated in the agreement were enforceable liquidated damages. In Hartford Underwriters Insurance Company v. Arch-Concept Construction, Inc. and Dusan Lazetic, individually and as President of Arch-Concept Construction, Inc., No. A-2430-20, Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division (June 29, 2022) the New Jersey appellate court resolved the dispute. The defendants argued that the doctrine of impossibility applies to its inability to perform under the settlement agreement, that the judge should have extended a forbearance as a matter of equity, and that the damages awarded under the parties' agreement and a consent judgment are an unenforceable penalty. FACTS Plaintiff Hartford Underwriters Insurance Company provided worker's compensation insurance to Arch-Concept from May 2012 through January 2016. On November 4, 2016, plaintiff filed a complaint against defendants to recover what it alleged were unpaid premiums based upon Arch-Concept understating its payrolls and misclassifying certain workers. It also sought relief under the New Jersey Insurance Fraud Prevention Act (IFPA), N.J.S.A. 17:33A-1 to -34. Plaintiff alleged that audits estimated defendants owed plaintiff $583,665 in unpaid premiums and that it was also entitled to treble damages for defendants' violation of the IFPA. Caught, without a defense, Arch-Concept and Hartford, avoiding a lengthy trial, agreed to settle plaintiff's claims pursuant to a written settlement agreement. The agreement required plaintiff to accept and defendants to pay $275,000 (half of what was obtained by fraud) over twelve quarterly installments. In the event defendants breached the agreement, they agreed to the entry of a consent judgment in favor of plaintiff and against defendants in the amount of $425,000, less any payments made under the agreement. The parties attached to the agreement a form of consent judgment signed by defendants that reflected the default provision in their agreement. An obviously great deal for the defendant who was exposed to a judgment (with treble damages) of over $2 million. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

Daily Lectionary:Proverbs 17:1-28; John 16:17-33A little while . . . (John 16:17)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. How long is a little while? The disciples wanted to know. Are we talking 15 minutes, 15 days, or 15 years? God's been talking like this since the Old Testament. "The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor; it's time to thresh her; yet a little while and the time of her harvest shall come" (Jeremiah. 51:33). "For in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction" (Isaiah 10:25). "A little while": words that mean there's going to be waiting, and with waiting all the headaches that go with it. The disciples witnessed the scourging, trial, and death of their Lord, and spent three agonizing and terrifying days waiting for the resurrection.We focus on the waiting. To be sure, Jesus says, "You will weep and lament, the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy" (John 16:20). How long until we see the joy? A little while, but your sorrow will not be forever. Your joy, however, is and will be forever! Today you hear that it'll be a little while until we see the fulness of our Lord's blessings, but even in the little whiles, which might seem to last for a very long time, even there in the  waiting, sadness, sorrow, depression, grief, Christ our Lord abides with us still.Sorrows will be turned to joy. In a little while there will only be joy. But even now, for a little while, there is joy in the midst of all that we suffer. Waiting for loved ones to get better, suffering through a breakup, struggling to find a job–a little while where God attends to you, a little while where you will be sorrowful, when you will weep and lament. Yet it is Christ who sorrows with you. He cries tears with you, laments with you still. God sends you His good Gifts under bread and wine, in the sign of the cross that reminds you that you're marked as the apple of God's eye. For a little while you are filled with all that you need for this body and life that will give way to an eternity of peace and joy. A little while but not forever. Until forever, Christ finds you, wipes your tears away, forgives you your sin and loves to take care of you still. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O God, by the patient endurance of Your only-begotten Son You beat down the pride of the old enemy. Help us to treasure rightly in our hearts  what our Lord has borne for our sakes that, after His example, we may bear with patience those things that are adverse to us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.-Rev. Adam Degroot is pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Rio Rancho, NM.Audio Reflections speaker: Rev. Duane BamschCome on an adventure with author Eric Eichinger as he unpacks the saga of Jesus' Hero Journey. You'll see how aspects of this journey are seen in popular stories, and how God used Jesus to create the most action-packed one with a real Savior for all.

Show Summary: "Don't be content with being sick. And don't ever give up." Have you ever felt like giving up on your sickness or life? If yes, then don't!There is a way, and we are here to tell you that you don't have to waste your time, money, and medicines to get well. Instead, you can reverse your disease through food.Coining the term "nutritarian" and publishing 12 best-selling books aside from his medical practice, our special guest, the amazing Dr. Joel Fuhrman, shares with us that proper diet indeed is the cure for all diseases. Would you like to get rid of your diabetes and high blood pressure and get back to your ideal weight? Would you like to live a long, healthy life as possible? You can do it!With all the advanced research, we can live longer and healthier. And Dr. Fuhrman shares how we can achieve this goal. So please tune in to our latest episode so that you can be a self-healing champion. Exceptional Highlights: When you take drugs, it's just these short-term gains but long-term deficits.The nutritional calorie density of your diet is a major factor affecting your health.It's a big process and art to motivate a person to change their diet. Show Highlights: How did you realize that nutrition is the way to go if people want to find healing?Dr. Fuhrman 5:20I found that out before I went to medical school. I was dating this woman who went to medical school and said that if I'm so passionate about this, why don't I become a doctor myself?What are you seeing in the literature in the research these days around health and nutrition?Dr. Fuhrman 26:56The most surprising finding in the scientific literature is that more plant protein in the diet extends the human lifespan and slows aging. And more animal protein accelerates aging and promotes cancer.Can you tell us something about your nutritarian philosophy?Dr. Fuhrman 27:33A diet that has a sufficient amount of green vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds, and other vegetables, of course, is the basis of a nutritarian diet. Important Links: Eat for Life BookDr. Fuhrman's WebsiteGutsy Health Podcast Instagram

We must not forget about the content!Questions: Find the current through each resistor for the circuit in Figure 1.(A). Find the current through each resistor for the circuit in Figure 1.Use two important figures to express your answers. Your answers should be separated numerically by commas.(B). Find the potential difference between each resistor and the circuit in the figure.Two significant figures are sufficient to express your answers. Your answers should be separated numerically by commas.Answera) Req= 6ohmSo net current =24/6 =4 ASoCurrent through 2 Ohm = 4A (ans).Current through 4 Ohm = 2A (ans).Current through 6 Ohm = 4/3A =1.33A (ans)Current through 12 Ohm = 2/3A =0.67 An (ans)Current through 8 Ohm = 2 A (ans).b)Voltage through 2 Ohm = 4A *2 =8V (ans)Voltage through 4 Ohm = 2A*4 =8V (ans)Voltage through 6 Ohm = 6*4/3 =8V (ans)Voltage through 12 ohm =2/3A*12 =8V (ans)Voltage through 8 ohm =2A*8 =16V (ans)Series and parallel combination of resistors:Resistors can be connected in parallel or series to make an electric circuit. Although the current can pass through all resistors in a series combination, the potential difference between them will be different. This is the equivalent resistance to resistors connected in series.R eq =R 1 +R 2 +R 3 (where; R1,R2, R3....... The resistance of individual resistorsA parallel combination of resistors is when the potential difference across each resistor stays the same but the current flowing through each resistor changes. Find the equivalent resistance for parallel combinations by:The Equivalent resistance method is useful for simplifying circuits that have multiple voltage sources or one branch with several series-parallel resistors. It can also be used to create a single voltage source and an equivalent resistance.The equivalent resistance is the resistance that can be connected to the voltage source separately, and provides the same source current as in the original circuit.The Method of Equivalent Resistance, which is an extension of Ohm's Law and used to calculate the source current in the simplified Circuit, is called the Method of Equivalent Resistance.Last wordsBelow is the solution to "Find the current through each resistor in the circuit as shown in Figure 1" .

Naquele tempo, 21Jesus atravessou de novo, numa barca, para outra margem. Uma numerosa multidão se reuniu junto dele, e Jesus ficou na praia. 22Aproximou-se, então, um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo. Quando viu Jesus, caiu a seus pés, 23e pediu com insistência: “Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem e põe as mãos sobre ela, para que ela sare e viva!” 24Jesus então o acompanhou. Numerosa multidão o seguia e comprimia. 25Ora, achava-se ali uma mulher que, há doze anos, estava com hemorragia; 26tinha sofrido nas mãos de muitos médicos, gastou tudo o que possuía, e, em vez de melhorar, piorava cada vez mais. 27Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, aproximou-se dele por detrás, no meio da multidão, e tocou na sua roupa. 28Ela pensava: “Se eu ao menos tocar na roupa dele, ficarei curada”. 29A hemorragia parou imediatamente, e a mulher sentiu dentro de si que estava curada da doença. 30Jesus logo percebeu que uma força tinha saído dele. E, voltando-se no meio da multidão, perguntou: “Quem tocou na minha roupa?” 31Os discípulos disseram: “Estás vendo a multidão que te comprime e ainda perguntas: ‘Quem me tocou'?” 32Ele, porém, olhava ao redor para ver quem havia feito aquilo. 33A mulher, cheia de medo e tremendo, percebendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e caiu aos pés de Jesus, e contou-lhe toda a verdade. 34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te curou. Vai em paz e fica curada dessa doença”. 35Ele estava ainda falando, quando chegaram alguns da casa do chefe da sinagoga, e disseram: “Tua filha morreu. Por que ainda incomodar o mestre?” 36Jesus ouviu a notícia e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenhas medo. Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro? A criança não morreu, mas está dormindo”. 40Começaram então a caçoar dele. Mas, ele mandou que todos saíssem, menos o pai e a mãe da menina, e os três discípulos que o acompanhavam. Depois entraram no quarto onde estava a criança. 41Jesus pegou na mão da menina e disse: “Talitá cum” — que quer dizer: “Menina, levanta-te!” 42Ela levantou-se imediatamente e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E todos ficaram admirados. 43Ele recomendou com insistência que ninguém ficasse sabendo daquilo. E mandou dar de comer à menina.

Fr. Jim teaches that Jesus calls his disciples (and therefore us) to love each other as he has loved them.  That is to say, not to like each other or tolerate each other but to truly Love each other.John 13:31-33A, 34-35When Judas had left them, Jesus said,"Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.If God is glorified in him,God will also glorify him in himself,and God will glorify him at once.My children, I will be with you only a little while longer.I give you a new commandment: love one another.As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.This is how all will know that you are my disciples,if you have love for one another."Fr. Jim's Gospel Studies followed the Catholic Lectionary 3-year cycle. A Vision to Guide Us is the second Gospel Study for Lent in Year B. We are calling this "Season 2" since the season has to be a number and we are starting this Gospel Teachings podcast in Year/Cycle B.Gospel Study: Fr. Jim WilligGospel Narration: Fr.
