I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.   Way Maker – 90's Hair Metal Version (AI Worship) A.I.

America's Spartans. 400 Marylanders Hold Back 2,000 Redcoats To Save the Revolution. Long Island 1776 August 1776: The American Revolution was about to be crushed. At the Battle of Long Island (Brooklyn), Washington's army was surrounded by 20,000 British and Hessian troops. Escape routes were cut off. The Continental Army was collapsing. Then fewer than 400 men from the 1st Maryland Regiment, under Lord Stirling and Major Mordecai Gist, stepped forward for a mission few expected to survive. In one of the most heroic last stands in American military history, the Maryland 400 carried out repeated bayonet charges against veteran British forces at the Old Stone House, understanding the cost would be severe. Their sacrifice delayed the British advance for nearly an hour — just long enough for thousands of American troops to escape across the deadly Gowanus Marsh and retreat to Washington's camp at Brooklyn Heights.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra estrena pantalla antiespías y pone en aprietos a la inteligencia artificialPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoSamsung presentó la nueva serie Galaxy S26 y, aunque la marca insiste en que estamos ante la era del “teléfono con IA”, la verdadera conversación no gira alrededor de asistentes virtuales. El foco está en una innovación de hardware que, por ahora, solo tiene el modelo más caro: una pantalla con privacidad integrada que oscurece el contenido cuando alguien intenta mirar desde un ángulo lateral.La familia está compuesta por Galaxy S26, S26 Plus y Galaxy S26 Ultra. A primera vista, el diseño cambia muy poco frente a la generación anterior. Pantallas AMOLED de hasta 120 hercios, resistencia al agua IP68 y cámaras de alta resolución siguen presentes. Pero hay diferencias que conviene analizar con calma, sobre todo si alguien está pensando en cambiar de teléfono este año.La función que realmente diferencia al UltraEl Galaxy S26 Ultra mantiene una pantalla de 6,9 pulgadas con resolución de 3.120 x 1.440 píxeles. Integra el procesador Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 en varios mercados y promete mejoras de rendimiento cercanas al 19 % en CPU y 39 % en tareas de inteligencia artificial frente al modelo anterior.Sin embargo, el elemento que más llama la atención es el llamado “Privacy Display”. Se trata de una tecnología integrada en el panel OLED que limita el ángulo de visión. Cuando se activa, la pantalla se ve oscura o casi negra desde los lados, arriba o abajo. Solo quien está frente al dispositivo puede leer con claridad lo que aparece en pantalla.A diferencia de los protectores físicos de privacidad, que reducen el brillo todo el tiempo, esta solución puede activarse o desactivarse desde los ajustes rápidos. Además, se puede configurar para que funcione únicamente en aplicaciones específicas, en notificaciones o cuando el usuario introduce contraseñas.Según Samsung, el desarrollo de esta tecnología tomó cinco años. Para muchos analistas, es el rasgo que realmente diferencia al Ultra en una generación considerada continuista. A diferencia de los protectores físicos de privacidad, que reducen el brillo todo el tiempo, esta solución puede activarse o desactivarse desde los ajustes rápidos. Además, se puede configurar para que funcione únicamente en aplicaciones específicas, en notificaciones o cuando el usuario introduce contraseñas.Según Samsung, el desarrollo de esta tecnología tomó cinco años. Para muchos analistas, es el rasgo que realmente diferencia al Ultra en una generación considerada continuista.Mucha inteligencia artificial, pero ¿qué es realmente nuevo?Samsung centra buena parte de su discurso en la inteligencia artificial. La serie Galaxy S26 incluye herramientas como edición de fotos mediante texto, borrado de ruido en videos incluso en aplicaciones de terceros, organización automática de capturas de pantalla y filtros de llamadas con resúmenes generados por IA.También se refuerza el papel de Bixby, el asistente propio de la marca, que ahora puede entender órdenes más naturales para activar ajustes del sistema sin que el usuario conozca el nombre exacto de cada función.No obstante, muchas de estas mejoras dependen de software y de alianzas con servicios externos, como Gemini de Google o modelos de lenguaje de terceros. Esto abre la puerta a que algunas funciones puedan llegar a modelos anteriores mediante actualizaciones.En otras palabras, no todas las novedades están atadas al nuevo hardware.Precio al alza y almacenamiento base más altoEn Estados Unidos, el Galaxy S26 base arranca en 899,99 dólares, frente a los 799,99 dólares del modelo anterior. El S26 Plus sube a 1.099,99 dólares. El Galaxy S26 Ultra se mantiene en 1.299,99 dólares.En el Reino Unido también se registran aumentos. Samsung atribuye parte del incremento a la presión en el mercado global de memoria, impulsada por la demanda de centros de datos dedicados a inteligencia artificial.Una decisión relevante es la eliminación de la versión de 128 GB. Ahora el almacenamiento base parte de 256 GB en toda la serie. En el caso del Ultra, se ofrecen versiones de 256 GB, 512 GB y 1 TB.Cámaras y batería: ajustes más que revoluciónEl Galaxy S26 Ultra conserva el sensor principal de 200 megapíxeles, acompañado de lentes adicionales que permiten zoom óptico y grabación en 8K a 30 cuadros por segundo. Se anuncian mejoras en apertura y procesamiento para capturar más luz en escenas nocturnas.La batería del Ultra sigue siendo de 5.000 miliamperios hora. La marca promete llegar al 75 % de carga en aproximadamente 30 minutos con un cargador de 60 vatios. El modelo base aumenta su batería a 4.300 miliamperios hora, mientras el Plus se mantiene en 4.900.En comparación con el Galaxy S25, las mejoras en batería y cámara son graduales. No hay cambios drásticos en hardware, sino ajustes en eficiencia y procesamiento.¿Vale la pena cambiar?Para quienes tienen un Galaxy S25, el salto parece limitado. El rendimiento será algo mejor, la batería del modelo base crece ligeramente y la inteligencia artificial es más profunda, pero la experiencia general se mantiene muy cercana.En cambio, quienes usan modelos más antiguos podrían notar un cambio más amplio, especialmente si optan por el Ultra.La pantalla con privacidad integrada es, por ahora, la innovación más concreta y visible. En un mercado donde muchos avances se apoyan en software replicable, esta característica representa una diferencia difícil de copiar mediante una simple actualización.La pregunta final es sencilla: ¿la privacidad en pantalla justifica pagar por el modelo más costoso? Para quienes trabajan con información sensible en espacios públicos, puede ser un argumento sólido. Para otros usuarios, la decisión dependerá más del presupuesto que de la tecnología.BibliografíaCNEThttps://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/this-one-killer-feature-sets-the-samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-apart-from-all-other-phones/The Independenthttps://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/gadgets-tech/phones-accessories/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-price-pre-order-b2927437.htmlMashablehttps://mashable.com/article/every-samsung-galaxy-unpacked-announcement-s26TechRadarhttps://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-hands-on-impressionsEngadgethttps://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s26-vs-galaxy-s25-whats-changed-and-which-one-should-you-buy-181515367.htmlForbeshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/jaymcgregor/2026/02/25/samsung-galaxy-s26-price-specs-features-camera-release-date/The Vergehttps://www.theverge.com/tech/884239/samsung-galaxy-s26-plus-price-specs-geminiWiredhttps://www.wired.com/story/samsung-galaxy-s26-series-galaxy-unpacked/Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.Apoya el Flash Diario y escúchalo sin publicidad en el Club de Supporters.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1277: The Supreme Court narrows emergency tariffs—but most auto duties remain, reshaping pricing and payments. Lamborghini shelves its EV plans in favor of hybrids. And Gen Z is ditching smartphones for iPods, chasing simpler tech in a distracted world.In our ASOTU daily email this morning, the team broke down the recent tariff news and what they mean for dealers. While one layer of trade pressure is gone after the Supreme Court's ruling, most auto-related tariffs affecting dealers and buyers remain in place.The ruling targeted emergency tariffs under IEEPA, not those imposed under Sections 232 and 301—where most auto exposure still sits.Steel and aluminum levies remain active, keeping pressure on parts, repair costs, and supplier pricing.VIN-level data shows uneven price impact: Canada-built vehicles up nearly $4K, Japan-built up ~$3.3K, Germany-built ~$2.8K, and Mexico-built over $1.5K.Pricing is largely baked into 2026 MSRPs, so expect stabilization—not rollbacks. Incentives and allocation will move before stickers do.Bottom line for dealers: focus on payment certainty, availability, and clear next steps—not promises of price drops.Lamborghini is officially backing away from its all-electric ambitions. CEO Stephan Winkelmann says the brand's customers just aren't ready—and going all-in on EVs risks becoming an “expensive hobby.”The Lanzador EV, first shown in 2023, has been quietly canceled after internal debate stretching into late 2025. Instead, by 2030, every Lamborghini will be a plug-in hybrid.Winkelmann says the “acceptance curve” for EVs among Lambo buyers is flattening and “close to zero.”Gen Z is rediscovering the iPod—and not just for the nostalgia. With schools banning connected devices and digital burnout on the rise, Apple's discontinued music player is becoming a low-tech escape hatch from the algorithm-driven chaos of smartphones.Google Trends shows 2025 searches for iPod Classic and Nano up 25% and 20% year-over-year.Refurbished iPod sales have climbed an average of 15.6% annually since 2022, according to Back Market.Students are using iPods as a workaround in phone-restricted schools—offline music without the distraction.The vibe shift? A simpler, distraction-free tech era that “felt more hopeful”—and a reminder that sometimes less tech is more freedom.Today's show is brought to you by ESi-Q.

With no official details revealed, speculation runs high. Could we see colorful, lower-cost MacBooks powered by A-series chips? M5 Pro and Max MacBook Pros? Updated iPads? The panel debates whether Apple may stage a staggered release week or unveil everything in a single coordinated announcement. The discussion shifts to Vision Pro, where rumors suggest Apple could demonstrate immersive Formula 1 experiences just days before the 2026 F1 season begins. With Apple's expanding sports footprint, including IMAX screenings of F1 races, the possibility of spatial sports broadcasting feels closer than ever. The panel also reviews VisionOS 26.4 beta updates, including refined UI elements, reorganized settings, early foveated streaming support for developers, and expanded 8K playback capabilities on newer hardware. iOS 26.4 beta brings one of the busiest update cycles in recent memory. Highlights include AI-powered playlist creation in Apple Music, enhanced podcast video playback directly inside the Apple Podcasts app, CarPlay integration with third-party AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, improved hotspot usage visibility, battery charge limit automation through Shortcuts, and Stolen Device Protection becoming enabled by default. The panel weighs in on whether security features should be opt-in or automatically enforced. On the Mac side, Rosetta 2 warnings now alert users when launching Intel-based apps, signaling Apple's continued push toward full Apple Silicon adoption. The conversation explores legacy software challenges and developer responsibility during platform transitions. Additional stories include Toyota adding Apple Wallet car key support, Tesla's rumored CarPlay integration delays, and a powerful real-world example of Emergency SOS via satellite saving skiers in a Lake Tahoe avalanche. Finally, Apple's sports strategy takes center stage as MLS Season Pass becomes free for Apple TV+ subscribers, joining F1 and Friday Night Baseball in Apple's expanding live sports ecosystem.

De negende aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. We staan allereerst even stil bij het overlijden van Robert Duvall en Tom Noonan. Blijkbaar hebben filmstudenten een korte spanningsboog en een verslaving aan de mobiele telefoon. De productie van 8K is gestopt en maar goed ook. Uiteraard is Marino er weer met een prachtig sonnet. William ging speciaal naar de bioscoop voor de podcast, maar zag een dag later een film die ‘m totaal omver blies, in de bioscoop zag hij de nieuwe Park Chan-Wook film ‘No Other Choice' en bespreekt deze kort, want hij had geen andere keus om toch over de andere film te praten, die JP toevallig ook heeft gezien nl. de Wim Wenders film ‘Paris, Texas' uit 1984. JP zag ook nog de nieuwe horrorfilm ‘Primate' met een moordende chimpansee. We trokken de VHS-band van ‘The Prowler' uit de kast, een slasher die we op YouTube al eens hebben besproken. In onze Special blikken we weer terug op een film die we al eens hebben besproken op de bank en kijken we of onze mening wellicht is veranderd, dit keer de klassieker ‘Dirty Harry' uit 1971 en we benatwoorden ook weer vragen van luisteraars over o.a. films met fictieve bands of muzikanten, een film over het draaiend huis, films die leuker zijn om over te praten dan om te kijken, onze top 5 niet Engelstalige films en over onze naam “Cinemaatjes”. Veel luisterplezier! www.youtube.com/@cinemaatjes www.instagram.com/cinemaatjes013 www.facebook.com/cinemaatjes www.patreon.com/cinemaatjes www.letterboxd.com/cinemaatjes

I wrote "The Silicon Mirror" to show humanity its own reflection in 8K resolution.Then, my mentor Marynês Pereira fed that chapter into an video generator.What you are about to hear is pure meta-irony.Two synthetic voices discussing my forensic analysis of human hypocrisy. And frankly? They understand it better than most humans do.Listen to how they break down the "Uncanny Valley of Morality" and the uncomfortable fact that you—not the algorithm—are the real Black Box.They call my writing "provocative." I call it accurate.If this conversation makes you uncomfortable, good. That means the mirror is working.Don't just listen to the gossip. Read the full manifesto that started it all.

Recorded February 6, 2026 ISE season is in full swing, and while much of the AV world is busy chasing booth demos and press releases from Europe, the AV SuperFriends are back doing what they do best: cutting through the hype. In this episode, the panel digs into the latest ISE announcements and trends, separating what's genuinely useful for higher ed from what looks great under trade-show lighting but falls apart in real classrooms. A major thread of the conversation focuses on rethinking camera deployments in teaching and meeting spaces. The crew challenges the default "one camera at the front of the room" mentality, unpacking how faculty behavior, room geometry, and instructional goals should drive camera placement, not product marketing. From multi-camera approaches to integrated camera bars and tracking features, the discussion centers on what actually improves teaching and learning versus what just checks a feature box. Naturally, the conversation eventually drifts into resolution arms races, with healthy skepticism about 8K's relevance and outright disbelief at the industry's eagerness to jump to 16K.

In this episode of The Future of Fitness, Daniel from Sport Alliance (tech whiz behind their cloud platform) and Erwin (sales powerhouse with 30 years in fitness) break down why fitness operators are scrambling—or should be—with AI hype exploding but data chaos holding everyone back. From Boston's new HQ amid freezing temps, they spill on Sport Alliance sponsoring 2026, ditching legacy systems for a single source of truth, conquering Europe's 11,000+ gyms (50% of big chains), and launching in the massive US market with an open, free marketplace of 150+ integrations that funnels all member data—like payments, body scans, workouts—back to operators for killer upsells, retention forecasts, and autopilot AI by 2030. Forget boiled frog syndrome; they tackle migration fears head-on after 8,000 club switches, urging gym chains (10+ locations) to audit stacks now before competitors lap you on personalized member magic. Keywords: fitness data readiness, AI gym management, Sport Alliance US expansion, open fitness platform, legacy system migration. TAKEAWAYS

Your income cycles between the same numbers every month. £3K, £7K, £2K, £8K, repeat. You get momentum for two weeks, then something drops on day 15. Every single time. You can post three times a week comfortably, but four posts triggers "this is too much."You think these patterns are random, they're not.Your subconscious has an identity ceiling and that ceiling has specific numbers, trigger points and thresholds where your brain reads "threat" and creates the drop to bring you back.In today's episode I'm breaking down the exact mechanism behind your identity ceiling, why your subconscious keeps snapping you back to almost there, and how to find your specific numbers so you can finally see what's been running the show. I'm showing you how studies prove that 70% of lottery winners lose their windfall within a few years because their identity didn't catch up to the money, and why the same mechanism is cycling your income, consistency, and visibility.This episode is about awareness. We're making the invisible visible. So grab something to write with, because you're finding your numbers today.Because you can't reprogram your identity ceiling until you can see where it's sitting.Let's break the pattern.Topics covered on Your Identity Ceiling Has a Number:Why your income cycling, consistency drops, and visibility pull backs aren't random (and what's actually creating them)How your subconscious operates like an elastic band, constantly snapping you back to your identity anchor pointThe real reason 70% of lottery winners lose their money within a few years (and why the same mechanism is running your business)Why your capability has nothing to do with your ceiling (and what actually determines where you stay stuck)How to find your three numbers: income anchor, consistency anchor, and visibility anchorWhat happens in your brain when you exceed your identity ceiling (and why it reads as threat)Why awareness of your ceiling changes everything before you even reprogram itConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at www.rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/

We begin by recapping Natasha's 2025 season and wrap up by looking ahead to what's lighting her up in 2026, but the heart of this episode focuses on start line safety in a rapidly growing sport.Just days before this recording, Natasha was taken down at the start of a local 8K race after being barged through by another runner. Although she got up and finished strongly, the injuries she sustained ultimately disrupted her training and prevented her from racing again days later. Together, we reflect on her experience and use it as a starting point to explore how crowded, chaotic start lines affect runners of all abilities—and how we can collectively do better.This is a thoughtful, solutions-oriented discussion about shared responsibility, race design, and the small changes that could make a big difference in keeping all runners safe.Visit levermovement.com and use Inspired20 for 20% off OR use this link: https://levermovement.com/discount/Inspired20Resources we discussed in the episode:iRun Magazine articleConnect with Natasha:Instagram: @tashawodakPrevious episodes on Inspired SolesEp 209: All Set to Race the Toronto Waterfront MarathonEp 190: On Missing the Olympic Marathon StandardEp 124: Canadian Marathon Record HolderConnect with Carolyn:Instagram: @inspiredsolescast or @carolyn.c.coffinYou can help spread the running love!

This week on the Play It Brave podcast, I'm doing something a little different — I'm bringing you behind the scenes for a real coaching session with one of my favorite photographers (and one of my trusted second shooters), Jasmine Ortiz. This episode is for every photographer who has ever thought: "I know my work is good… so why do I get weird and wobbly the second it's time to talk about pricing?" Because that moment — where you're ready to raise your rates, step into a higher tier of client, and be paid like the artist you actually are — requires more than updating a number on a proposal. It requires an identity shift. In this conversation, Jasmine shares what's been happening as she raises her prices: how her old sales call script worked at a lower price point, but suddenly feels stiff, robotic, and way too logistics-heavy for the clients she wants to book now. And from there, I walk her through the exact framework I teach inside my one-to-one coaching and masterminds — the same structure that's helped photographers go from booking $3–6K weddings to booking $8K, $10K, $20K, even $30K. Because at the luxury and intro-luxury level, clients aren't choosing you because you're "easygoing" and "go with the flow." They're choosing you because you feel like a leader. A director. An artist with presence, taste, and a clear process. And the best part? You can learn that. You can practice that. You can embody that. In this episode, we talk about: Why so many photographers unintentionally dilute their authority by trying to be the couple's "bestie" How luxury clients want warmth, yes — but they also want clarity, confidence, and precision The difference between "participating" in the call vs. leading the call How to ask better questions than "So what's your vision?" Why selling at a higher level means selling an experience and a feeling, not hours and deliverables How to keep the first call exciting (and not turn it into a timeline-planning meeting) What to say instead of "We can totally do whatever you want" (because… no. Not if you're positioning luxury) The 7 shifts I gave Jasmine (you can steal these too): Before we recorded, Jasmine sent me a transcript of a real sales call — and once I read it, I found seven immediate tweaks that would completely change her conversions at a higher price point. Here they are: Stop being overly casual. Warm is good. Too familiar is not. Luxury requires a calm, grounded presence. Don't let the couple dictate the call. They don't want to run the show — they want to hire someone who can. Step into the identity of the director. You're not auditioning to be chosen. You're guiding them through a curated experience. Remove all "wishy-washy" language. "Whatever you want!" is not elegance. Recommendations are. Mirror their exact words back to them. This is huge. If you don't repeat their emotional buying criteria, they won't feel seen. Hold the space as an expert guide. Don't match chaos. Don't match overwhelm. You hold the calm. Stay professional while still being warm. Approachable, yes. Chatty friend energy, no. If you're in the season of raising your rates, hear me when I say: you don't just raise your prices — you raise your presence. You shift your language. You shift your leadership. You shift your identity. Because luxury clients aren't buying your packages. They're buying you.
