What Happens to the Dead When a Town Is Abandoned?

What happens when a town disappears—but the dead are left behind? This episode begins with a familiar American disaster: Centralia, Pennsylvania, the coal town that has been burning underground since 1962. Most people know the story of the smoke, the buckling roads, and the evacuation. Far fewer know what happened after the living left—when the cemeteries remained, sitting directly above an active underground fire. We explore how burial grounds like the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Cemetery slowly began to shift. Headstones tilted. Graves rotated. Steam vented from the soil. Over decades, officials were forced to make an unthinkable series of decisions: which graves to exhume, which to leave behind, and how to negotiate with families when the ground itself could no longer be trusted to stay still. Some remains were relocated. Many were not. And today, the fire still burns beneath them—possibly for centuries to come. It's not a ghost story. There are no apparitions or legends. And somehow, that makes it worse. In the second half of the episode, we turn to a very different kind of quiet revolution: Florence Nightingale, the woman often reduced to a single image—the “Lady with the Lamp.” We dig past the myth to uncover her real legacy as a pioneer of sanitation, hospital reform, and statistical analysis. From filthy Crimean War hospitals to the invention of the coxcomb chart, Nightingale used data, discipline, and relentless attention to detail to save lives—and permanently change modern medicine. Along the way: strange facts about snow, burning earth, shifting assumptions about permanence, and the unsettling realization that even the most basic promises—like the ground holding still—can fail. Because sometimes the oddest stories aren't about what rises from the grave…They're about what refuses to stay buried. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As we explored deeper into the structure, it became clear the rig wasn't abandoned because it failed… it was abandoned because something down there didn't want to be found.

Aganaanooru 157 – Like an abandoned statue

In this episode, we perceive a person’s alarm at the prospect of an approaching event, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 157, penned by Vempattroor Kumaranaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse portrays the lady’s inability to bear with the man’s parting. அரியற் பெண்டிர் அல்கிற் கொண்டபகுவாய்ப் பாளைக் குவிமுலை சுரந்தஅரி நிறக் கலுழி ஆர மாந்தி,செரு வேட்டு, சிலைக்கும் செங் கண் ஆடவர்,வில் இட வீழ்ந்தோர் பதுக்கை கோங்கின்எல்லி மலர்ந்த பைங் கொடி அதிரல்பெரும் புலர் வைகறை அரும்பொடு வாங்கி,கான யானை கவளம் கொள்ளும்அஞ்சு வரு நெறியிடைத் தமியர் செல்மார்நெஞ்சு உண மொழிபமன்னே தோழி!முனை புலம் பெயர்த்த புல்லென் மன்றத்து,பெயல் உற நெகிழ்ந்து, வெயில் உறச் சாஅய்,வினை அழி பாவையின் உலறி,மனை ஒழிந்திருத்தல் வல்லுவோர்க்கே! In this little trip to the drylands, we hear the lady say these words to her confidante, when the confidante brings news that the man intends to part away to gather wealth: “Relishing the muddy-hued, cloudy filtrate, pouring out of the tapering spouts of the pot, with a curving mouth, held on the hips of a toddy-selling woman, with intoxication and fury, uproarious red-eyed men kill wayfarers with their bows. The stone graves of those killed stand near the buttercup tree. Upon this tree, spreads the vines of the wild jasmine, which had just bloomed the previous night. At the bright and early hour of dawn, pulling the vines of this buttercup and wild jasmine flowers, a forest elephant swallows it as its ball of food in those formidable paths. My friend, you say that he will walk alone in such a path, to satisfy his heart! In the listless town centre, forsaken by people, owing to the outbreak of a battle, shrinking in the rains and fading in the sun, a well-etched female figurine would languish. To accept his parting is only possible for those, who have the ability to be in that state of that statue and remain at home!” Time to traverse the dangerous domain! The lady starts by conjuring the image of a toddy selling woman, who carries a pot on her hips. Procuring the filtrate from this seller, drylands men get sloshed and red-eyed. Full of fury, they attack wayfarers and bury them in stone graves, near the buttercup tree. On this tree, spreads a vine of wild jasmine that blossomed just the previous night. Not caring about the tenderness of these flower buds, a wild elephant pulls these vines and buttercup flowers along with it, to feed on the same in the early hour of dawn. The lady describes how the confidante has informed her that such is the dangerous path that the man will walk soon. When wars break out, people abandon their towns and rush away to a place of safety. At this time, the female figurines worshipped in the town centre would be abandoned and would shrink in the rains and fade in the sun, with no one to care for it. Only those who can be like that lifeless statue can bear with the man’s parting and remain calm at home, the lady concludes, implying she does not know the way to be so! In short, the lady tells the confidante, ‘I’m no statue to accept his parting, without any emotion’, and voices her doubts about being able to bear with what’s about to happen. Perhaps the confidante will relay this information to the man and prevent him from travelling or perhaps she will console the lady saying, ‘Girl, you have it in you. Worry not!. Whatever be the counsel and the course of action, the lady has done the right thing in expressing the anxiety within and that’s half the battle won!

WE'RE BACK from our December break. At the end of '25, Kemp Gregory — CEO and co-founder of Renewal — joined good traffic for a conversation about energy infrastructure, the hidden potential of idle oil wells, and why the future of renewable energy storage might already be in the ground. As cities debate electric cars, housing development, and transit expansion, energy remains the crucial constraint — one that demands innovation beyond conventional batteries and solar panels.Kemp walks us through Renewal's unconventional approach: converting millions of abandoned oil and gas wells into gravity-based energy storage systems. He explains how 30,000-pound weights moving up and down inside existing steel infrastructure can discharge power to the grid when needed and store it when it's cheap. From his early days as a petroleum engineer, to his pivot into clean energy at Stanford, Kemp shares how technical knowledge from fossil fuels is being repurposed for renewable infrastructure — and why working with local drilling crews and engineering firms matters more than reinventing everything from scratch.We also touch on: Why energy storage is the bottleneck for electrification. The geometry problem of EVs and infrastructure strain. How data centers highlight AI's energy costs. Standing on the shoulders of the oil and gas industry. Why rural Texas and California need the same solutions. The importance of making technical work accessible.

I'm Howler. A man with a compulsion to create.Welcome back to the Bone Brew, Brave Souls. It is a new year and as is common for most, I have been looking back on things and thinking about where I will take my craft over the next year.I wrote this article last year: This Time Next Year. A vow, about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. This is somewhat of an amendment but not really. More like a reintroduction to Me, The Bonebrew, and the Art I seek to create.I don't believe in resolutions. I think that instead, Refusals are far more potent. I think that decisions are far more valuable. So this Article is an expounding upon the conversation in the video. Enjoy! I have quotes and words that guide me.Guide Posts:* Temperance* Awe* Be a Monster* Look at your life, look at your choices.* Slow is Smooth, Smooth is fast.* You are the Universe Experiencing itself.The Newest wordAttendSimple, elegant, not as weighty or heavy as Responsibility, Discipline, Obligation, or Duty (ha I said duty)I think the word ATTEND, Is a North Star this 2026The LieI have lived many a Life.* Soldier* Plumber* Corporate drone* BartenderMore I don't even care to count. Thing is that Often times we will tell creatives that the breadth of experience is the key to making long lasting creative works. And to some degree that has merit but I posit after mulling this over for the last five years; that is frankly a lie, and at best a half truth.We frame it as Tuition for lessons learned. We frame it as cutting our teeth in other fields, we frame it as the long way around. All of it is Cope. Stories to make ourselves feel better for not doing the thing. What ever that creative thing maybe, whether drawing, writing, painting, film making.Excuses and AvoidanceAll of it.Here's a thought experiment. Do you think the first people who drew Superman ever went skydiving?Just sit with that for a second. Did they ever go skydiving? Would they know what it's like to fly?But they drew Superman flying, jumping tall buildings, running at the speed of sound. Did they know what that felt like?So I know, and I can tell you, that art does not require experience.My RoadI can't speak as if I know you. I can only speak from my own road, my own experience. I opened my eyes one morning and felt like I'd wasted time. I was asking myself what the hell I was really doing. There was a festering rot in the pit of my stomach and in the back of my throat…“Plumbing, feeds that part of me that wants to leave something behind so it's feasible. You know, practical artistry…” Every time I said it, I could taste the bile of falsehood bubbling. A half truth. I was sacrificing for love, for obligation, I was being disciplined. There in lies the rub, the friction of it all. The greatest cage I could ever find myself in, the one of my own making. The title of Father, of Husband. Titles I wear proudly.Yet, I could feel the rot. Bubbling, building.This stuff here, this art thing for me, is like its own weird introspective therapy. Its own weird sense of clarity. It helps me think. It challenges me. Oh my God, does it challenge me.And without that... I said this to my dad the other day about it. I would be one mean son of a bitch. God, would I be one mean son of a bitch. If I don't get time to create, I get cranky.The CostWhat pray tell is it?The Anchor of Resentment.To name the thing is to disarm it, to remove it's power. Or at the very least that is the first step. I was resentful of the Titles I wore so proudly. How? Why? How is it that I found myself resenting Roles that I have wanted since I was a boy? How was that even remotely possible?It is far easier, to sail the seas of Novelty without any direction. Yet the cost is often being drowned by the Anchor(s) of Resentment, no matter how noble the Sacrifice. It is only when you are drowning that you will scramble for the closest piece of land. That is when you find yourself where you don't want to be, where you never dreamed of being. The thing about the anchor is this. You might not drown today. Tomorrow.But if you allow it... you will find the entire ship of yur life sinking. And you won't understand why.I'd allowed myself to drift and be taken by the current on the Sea of Novelty, I'd Abandoned myself for the sake of Family.How dangerous a thing. Not for me, but for the ones I love so dearly. I found I was willing to kill my dreams for them, whether I wanted to or not and in doing so I would grow to hate them all the same.The RemedyBut again friction.The RubThey didn't ask that of me, they did not require I kill a part of myself. On the contrary they want the fullest version of me.How would I ever be able to show up for them If I could not show up for myself? How could I ever fully give them my attention if I was always thinking of something else?These were the questions I found and in the asking the answer came from an unlikely source.My boy, my lil dragon, my monster. My son.AttendWe find ourselves back at that word.I took to taking walks with him during the evenings. I try to see the world through his eyes. He notices ants everywhere. The way a blade of grass is different from another. The awe in every lizard, every cloud, in the stars. He notices the things I walk by everyday without notice or care. The Mundane.He simply pays attention to the Mundane.Life is Mundane, most of us will not live some extraordinary existence, most of us will have died within a few miles of where we grew up. Creation does not require some grand adventure. You don't gain the right to be creative because you were adventurous. There is no reward system for having had an extraordinary life. Hell, Kings think themselves ordained by the heavens and it is as normal as breathing, they think their lives mundane because they awake in it each and every day.So what does it take to be a Creative?Attention.In my estimate You must attend to three things.* First and foremost* Your CraftWhatever that craft may be, attend to it's study, inner workings, and the pursuit of it's mastery. Because there is no craft without it's rules, principles, or best practices.* Secondly* SelfYour well being, your mental, your emotional, your spiritual. You ought to know what makes you tick. You ought to know what sets you on fire. You ought to know the question you are constantly seeking to answer within your own craft, and in life.* Lastly * The Mundane. The thing that spits in the face of the ‘Go live' platitude. As creatives we are the ones who make the mundane spectacular, whether it be a starry night, the whine of string, or the horror of human depravity. We are the ones who open the eyes of others, we are the ones who remind people of themselves. We are the bridge between the fantastical and the mundane, the speculative and the everyday.I don't claim that this is easy. Or that world is even conducive to this always. I do know it is the only antidote I have found, the only answer that seems to work for me.It is mundane, monotonous, repetitive, routine work. I used to hate doing that. I used to hate doing the same thing over and over again. But it is here we find depth, It is only in repetition that you find mastery.2026So, this 2026, I am choosing the Depth.I'm choosing the thing that keeps calling my name in the dead of night. The thing that keeps howling at me.Regardless of what I'm doing. The thing I'm constantly thinking about.I'm choosing it. And as I choose it, I refuse to not attend to my life. I will attend to the mundane in all of its glory.That is my refusal.That is my decision.I refuse to be trapped and drowned by the anchors of resentment.But instead, I am deciding to instead Dive into the depths!This you?If you find yourself on the same path that I was on, and you find yourself mulling something over for years at a time,Find yourself resenting your titles, your Roles, then I implore you.I implore you to dive into the depths, because that is where the anchor residesBecause only in the depths will you be able to cut yourself free from those anchors.Welcome to the bone brew.I am Howler.I'm just a man speaking from the road.A Birthday RequestI turn another year older TODAY!I'm not a fan of gifts.

Fatima Whitbread: from abandoned baby to world champion

Fatima Whitbread grew up in a UK children's home. She found both a mother and a coach in one person – going on to break the javelin world record and become an Olympic medallist. Fatima spent her first 14 years in a series of institutions after being abandoned as a baby. She longed for stability and love, and found both in an unexpected place – on the sports field. Coach Margaret Whitbread spotted her talent early, and when she discovered that the young Fatima was growing up without a family, invited her to spend some time with her own.

The Medieval period is sometimes described as the ‘Age of Faith.' This was a world in which the church dominated every area of life and it was almost impossible to think outside of Christianity.It was succeeded, of course, by the ‘Age of Reason', a period in which Enlightenment thinkers placed an extremely high premium on rational inquiry.Which era are we living in now? Robert P. George suggests that we have entered an ‘Age of Feelings', in which people derive their beliefs from emotion, which is now understood as the central source of truth.He makes this case in his new book, ‘Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment.' Robert P. George is a highly esteemed legal scholar and political philosopher, once described in The New York Times as America's “most influential conservative Christian thinker.” Today we discuss faith, reason, abortion, same sex marriage, repaganisation, and more.

This episode is an extension of the last, and we're going even deeper.We'll expand the conversation to include the suspicious actions of others at TPUSA, and we'll examine the patterns that keep resurfacing: the Epstein list, powerful governments/intelligence interests, and the unresolved questions surrounding Charlie Kirk's untimely death.We are refusing to ignore connections that are already being discussed in the open, and asking why certain questions are treated as forbidden.When multiple narratives intersect, when institutions demand our silence instead of supplying us with clarity, and when “coincidence” becomes the official explanation, we don't have an option but to use our God-given discernment.The FBI had the opportunity to investigate thoroughly and privately. They failed to do so. That means public scrutiny and investigations will be imperfect, uncomfortable, and messy, but necessary.This episode is about pattern recognition, accountability, and the courage to keep asking the hard questions when others insist it's time to "move on."We need justice, and until then, we cannot just "move on."

Abandoned uranium mine waste has been a big deal for decades, but almost no one had an inkling about what we should do to solve the problem. The scale of the challenge is huge, with various estimates ranging between 1 and 8 billion tons of uranium mining waste rock spread over more than 10,000 sites, nearly all of which are in western states and Native American sovereign nations. The Navajo Nation is the jurisdiction with the biggest burden – a substantial portion of the waste is on Navajo lands and spread over 500 or more sites. Some have dismissed or minimized the problem by pointing to the relatively low material concentrations and the low radiation doses emitted. But low concentrations multiplied by tens of millions of tons and thousands of sites calculates to distressingly large numbers. It’s also important to remember that the contaminating minerals of concern are heavy metals that might be lightly radioactive, but they also have a level of chemical toxicity that also causes negative health impacts on humans and animals. Though billions of dollars have been allocated for cleaning up the waste piles, there hasn’t been much progress because the available solution set has been limited to on-site burial in engineered landfills or moving the material “somewhere else.” The landfill option doesn’t remove the potential threat to groundwater and the barriers are designed to last about 100 years. The vast majority of the contaminating minerals will still be there after the designed barriers have deteriorated. There has been little or no success in finding suitable or agreeable places to take the waste and even if there were, the mass of material means that most of the available clean up funds would be consumed in transportation. Not surprisingly, there has not been a shortage of large established contracting companies willing to be paid tens of millions of dollars to study the issue and move some dirt around. Enter John Lee and Greyson Buckingham, a pair of innovative entrepreneurs. They recognized the scale of the problem and the importance of effective solutions. They developed a patented technology called High Pressure Slurry Ablation that separates the contaminating minerals – mostly uranium and radium 226 – from sand and rock and concentrates those minerals into about 20% of the mass of the input stream. The clean fraction can meet stringent NRC unrestricted release criteria while the fraction containing the minerals will have a high enough concentration to turn a pile of contaminated material into valuable ore. John Lee, with deep experience and education in mining and materials processing, developed the initial idea for HPSA. Greyson Buckingham added his legal training, business acumen and political experience. They formed a company called Disa Technologies in 2018 and patiently began the process of refining their ideas into useful and reliable machinery. Additionally, they entered into a plodding process of obtaining permission to deploy their problem-solving technology in an environmentally beneficial and cost effective manner. Starting with a state regulatory engagement in 2018, Disa Technologies was recently – September 30, 2025 – awarded a service provider’s license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. That license comes with a significant, but reasonably achievable condition to demonstrate HPSA on a commercial scale before entering into wide deployment of multiple units. Though it took about half a decade of staff engagement and Commission decision-making to determine the proper licensing framework, the NRC was able to review Disa’s service provider license application in six months (March–September 2025). During the regulatory engagement process, Disa Technologies developed strong alliances with political representatives from affected states, with leaders among the Native American nations and with communities that have been seeking solutions to the waste issue for decades. They also produced solid scientific evidence of the efficacy of their inventions and demonstrated it to the satisfaction of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The saga is fascinating. For Atomic Show #339, I spoke with Greyson Buckingham about his company, its technology, the importance of cleaning up abandoned uranium mine (AUM) waste, the utility of HPSA in processing other critical mineral ores, the sometimes frustrating interactions with the NRC during period from 2020-2024 and the refreshingly competent and mission-oriented NRC that has been evolving during the past year. Neither I nor Nucleation Capital, the sponsor of the Atomic Show and Atomic Insights, have any financial interest in Disa as of January 5, 2025, the date that this post and the associated audio recording are released.

I share how I read earnings per cart, earnings per view, and units per cart to spot where money leaks and how to plug them with bundles, add-ons, and smarter pricing.We explore the Product Insights tab to separate traffic issues from conversion issues. You'll hear concrete examples of listings that lost traffic but gained conversion and why that matters for ranking, previews, covers, and titles. I show how to sort winners and decliners, use wishlist trends, and filter by product categories to find the fastest opportunities. No fluff—just the exact clues that point to the next five updates worth your time.Then we get tactical with the new discount tools. Abandoned cart emails recover forgotten purchases with a simple 10% nudge, while follower discounts reward your audience and encourage the follow. I walk through an easy weekly activation cadence and share the lift I've seen without heavy promotion. We tie it all together with the three growth levers—traffic, conversion, and retention—and how to pick your focus for 2026 based on your own data, not a trend or a guess.If you're a TPT seller who wants higher earnings per view, stronger conversion, and more repeat buyers, this walkthrough is your roadmap.

Episode #456: “We will not leave them behind,” says Simon Billenness, director of the Campaign for a New Myanmar and a Burma policy advocate with more than three decades of experience lobbying the United States Congress on sanctions policy, congressional appropriations, and accountability for Myanmar's military. In his second appearance on the podcast, Billenness focuses on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Burmese nationals, which he views as both a humanitarian crisis and a sharp rupture in longstanding U.S. policy. Billenness explains that TPS had allowed nearly 4,000 Burmese nationals to remain legally in the United States because conditions at home made safe return impossible. With DHS giving recipients just sixty days before protections expire, he describes the consequences as stark. Many TPS holders, he notes, have been told by immigration attorneys that no realistic legal pathways remain for them to stay, leaving forced return to a conflict as a terrifying prospect. He emphasizes that those affected are not abstractions or mere statistics. Many arrived as students or professionals before or shortly after the 2021 coup and remained because returning home would expose them to grave danger. Some support the Civil Disobedience Movement from abroad; others belong to ethnic or religious minorities targeted by the military. Young men face forced conscription, while all confront a country still engulfed in instability, indiscriminate military violence, and overall repression. From Billenness's perspective, ending TPS misrepresents both American interests and values. He argues that TPS recipients are among the United States' strongest allies within Myanmar society and that their presence strengthens American communities. DHS's justification—citing ceasefires, elections, and stability—he dismisses as false and misleading and moreover, contradicting the State Department's analysis. The elections, he says, are sham exercises under military rule, while airstrikes on civilian populations continue despite so-called ceasefires. While legal challenges and congressional efforts to restore TPS move forward, Billenness stresses that sustained constituent advocacy remains the most effective tool. Even amid an unpredictable moment for U.S. foreign policy, he insists on endurance and resolve, concluding, “We will fight back. We will not abandon the Burmese people.”

Desde los trece, la calle se convirtió en su única familia, el robo en su modo de pertenencia, y la adrenalina en su escape del vacío emocional que nadie había nombrado.Tres caídas, dos absoluciones, y cada vez volvió a lo mismo. Porque cuando tienes miedo de fracasar en lo bueno, regresas a lo que ya sabes hacer.

From age thirteen, the streets became his only family, stealing became his way of belonging, and adrenaline became his escape from an emotional void no one had ever acknowledged.Three arrests, two acquittals, and each time he went back to the same thing. Because when you're afraid of failing at the good stuff, you go back to what you already know how to do.

  By Mary Lindow AS I PREPARE THIS PODCAST OUR HOME HAS THE AROMA OF BANANA BREAD FILLING THE AIR WITH A COZY WARMTH. Soft Carols are playing in the background. My dear Steve has gone bed for now. He's been working on a carpentry project for my Christmas present.   AS I SIT HERE, MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE MOVED WITH TENDERNESS FOR THOSE WHO ARE GRIEVING over the recent miscarriage of a 22 week old baby, a friend who has had a sudden death of a family member, those friends of mine tending to the sick and fragile, and for the widows I know, who ache for the arms of the one they loved so well for so long. My heart is saddened by the weariness of knowing single friends of Steve and I are longing for rest and still have hopes of meeting another godly person who might be the one to nurture and live them. ALL OF THE KINDNESSES AND BEAUTIFUL THINGS OF CHRISTMAS, truly, when wrapped up in compassion, outreach to those who are hurting, personal sacrifice so that others may thrive, and with discernment to know when these things are God nudging you, this is what makes the true value of Christmas shine.   CHRIST CAME TO GIVE. He came to give all. To tend to all those that were held captive, to set them free, to open the eyes of the blinded and the cerebral intellectuals who refuse to hear the truth. But yet, HE came! And HE is still speaking today, still pursuing those who run from him.   WHEN GOD BREATHED THE BREATH OF LIFE INTO EVERY HUMAN BEING... ...IT WAS HIS BREATH   As long as there is breath in a human, it is the breath of God. God will pursue every human being, regardless of how they feel towards him. This is the love that came down at Christmas. And this is the love that stays. People can run. But they cannot hide from the light of God.   AS I SHARE THIS BRIEF BUT WARM AND HEARTFELT PODCAST WITH YOU, I wanted to share something so profoundly, beautiful and so well spoken. I've read over and meditated/ pondered it many times during this Christmas season because there have been disappointments! There have has been betrayals, harsh words, indifference, people pushing you away because they can't receive the love you offer them. These are the things Jesus experienced on a regular basis, and yet in his perfection, he continued to pursue the will of God in his life, and eventually, it COST him his life!   THAT LITTLE, WEE BABE IN THE MANGER TROUGH, He was filled with the fullness of God and was God, but chose to walk out in human flesh, incarnate, the life of everyday human beings, in order to prove that he was aware of the suffering and the sorrows of this human life in a fallen world.   AS I SHARE THIS BEAUTIFUL EXPRESSION FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL BY THE NAME OF JESSICA JECKER, (who is an influencer on another social media site), I hope that you will allow it to saturate any part of you that is suffering or that is resisting love, or, is perhaps angry at God, questioning why life is so hard, or where you may have become bitter and hardened to the tenderness that is available to each of us.   LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE CRY OF MALACHI AND WHAT GOD‘S WORD SPOKE. Listen to the words of one pondering the beauty and the fierce sacrifice that Jesus so humbly and willingly yielded to so that we might truly celebrate a Savior. HERE IT IS: “This week, I lingered in the final breath of Malachi's words and I felt the unbearable weight of what followed. When the prophet finished speaking, heaven did not answer. The echo of his voice faded...and then... nothing. Four hundred years of silence. No open vision. No burning word. No prophet rising with fire in his bones. No “Thus says the Lord” breaking the darkness. Four hundred years of waiting. Of longing. Of groaning. Of hearts lifted toward heaven that seemed sealed shut. Generation after generation was born into the quiet. They lived. They died. And still—no voice. Until one night. On a dirt floor in a forgotten place... in a stable that did not look holy... in the shadows of obscurity and insignificance... a sound was released. After four hundred years, heaven spoke again— Not with thunder, not with fire, not from a mountain- but from the lungs of a newborn. A cry pierced the silence. A cry that split history in two. A cry that carried eternity within it. In that moment, the King of Glory stepped down into the dust of His own creation. The Eternal wrapped Himself in skin. The Word became flesh—and cried. The Son laid aside His throne and chose a manger. Heaven's highest treasure placed in a feeding trough. He came low. He came meek. He came breakable. Wrapped in swaddling cloths, laid where animals ate, born beneath the looming shadow of a cross. A Lamb born to be slain. The Hope of a hopeless world breathed His first breath in the dark. A weary world rejoiced as a young virgin labored and delivered its redemption. In that manger, the Great I AM made Himself vulnerable. Touchable. Killable. And with one holy cry, the silence was shattered. The separation was broken. The way was opened. Then, suddenly, heaven could not remain quiet. The skies erupted with angelic voices declaring, “Glory to God in the highest!” Wonderful. Counselor. Mighty God! Everlasting Father. Prince of Peace. With the cry of an infant, heaven invaded earth. Behold—our Redeemer. Behold—our King. Behold—the fulfillment of every promise. Behold—the sound that broke four hundred years of silence. Not the roar of an army. Not the shout of a king claiming His crown. But the fragile cry of God-with-us. He did not arrive with a sword in His hand, but with nails already written into His future. He did not enter wrapped in royalty, but in cloths that foretold a burial. The silence was not just broken, it was answered. Every unanswered prayer. Every tear cried into the dark. Every generation that waited without seeing. Every promise that seemed delayed but not denied. All of it converged in that single cry. That night, heaven did not just speak- heaven gave. God did not send another prophet. He did not send another sign. He sent Himself. And in that stable, eternity took its first shallow breath. Omnipotence learned weakness. Glory learned humility. Love made itself small. The cry that shattered the silence would one day be echoed again- not from a manger, but from a cross. The first cry said, “He has come.” The final cry would say, “It is finished.” From swaddling cloths to grave clothes, from a feeding trough to a borrowed tomb, He came to be broken so we could be made whole. And even now, that sound still reverberates. It calls the weary. It awakens the forgotten. It reaches into the places where heaven has felt silent again. If God could speak through the cry of a baby, He can still break silence in our darkest night. So behold Him. Not distant. Not untouchable. Not unmoved.   But Emmanuel. God.  With. Us."   SUCH TREMENDOUS AND EXPRESSIVE WORDS!   DEAR PERSON, WHO MAY BE LISTENING TO THIS PODCAST OR READING IT IN PRINTED FORM. Talk to Jesus. Cry. Ask Him to show you his love, his true self, his kindness. His merciful forgiveness. He's listening.   LET'S PRAY BEFORE I END THIS PODCAST. "Heavenly Father, For Those Who Are Lonely This Christmas, I Pray That You Would Surround Them With Your Presence. Let Them Feel Your Nearness. Bring People Into Their Lives Who Can Offer Companionship and Comfort. Help Them To Know That Even When They Feel Alone, Abandoned or Weary That They Are Never Truly Alone Because You Are Always With Them. Heal the Wounds That the Holidays Have Opened. Replace Sorrow With Your Joy, Despair With Your Hope, and Loneliness With the Knowledge That You Will Never Leave Us or Forsake Us. Thank You That Jesus Came To Heal the Brokenhearted and to Bind up our Deep Wounds From Life on Planet Earth. I Trust You To Do That Work in my Life and in the Lives of all Who Are Hurting This Christmas. Father, This Christmas I Celebrate the Birth of my Savior With a Grateful Heart. Help Me To Never Get Over the Wonder of the Gospel, Never Stop Being Amazed That You Loved Me Enough To Send Jesus. May my Life Be a Living Thank-You Note for the Gift You Gave at Christmas—the Gift of Your Son, my Savior and my King. In the Comforting Name of Jesus, Amen."   I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS PODCAST! I know that we are fast approaching that day we celebrate and give gifts and just sit back and enjoy the beauty of the season, but, I know many people suffer during this time and, Jesus is there with you. He's understands you're suffering and he understands where you're stuck. I encourage you to not hold onto those things that you want to manage or control or that you think, “This is just the way it's going to, be it's always been this way.” That is fatalistic thinking and it's really actually ungodly. It's an attitude that says, “I will control my destiny, and... I have control over my life because nobody else can help me.”   I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SOFTEN, TO TENDERIZE YOUR HEART BEFORE THE LORD IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, and as you listen to Christmas carols and hear the words of “Joy to the World, the Lord Has Come, Let Earth Receive her King and Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room.” That means it's up to us to “prepare room” in our hearts to receive what the king has for us. All the things the King has for us. Some of it is discipline. Some of it is change. Some of it is repenting for just being angry , and some of it is walking in fear. Know this, that if we will prepare a room for him to come in and live and dwell, we can enjoy His presence in a greater way with us during this season and into the next year.   I'M GOING TO CLOSE OUT FOR NOW AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR LISTENING! I want to thank those of you who have been so kind to support and assist me. Honestly, I am just so grateful because I just don't know how I would really do these without those that are touched and moved by God to assist is publishing this podcast and also to assist me in helping others with counseling who have a lower incomes, or, who are going through difficulties where their income is so tight, and they need that counseling, they need that help. WHEN YOU HELP BLESS AND SUPPORT WHAT THE LORD HAS ASKED ME TO DO OFTEN I'M ABLE TO DO A LOT OF PRO BONO WORK because I know there's a little bit more in that bank account for ministry that I can then draw on. Steve and I live very frugally. We don't have big mansions and we certainly aren't driving any Rolls-Royce's, yet God seems to always come through and provide in ways that truly humble us. Part of that is those that God moves on, and those that listen to him and do support what God has called us to do in these days. I thank you again, and I asked that he pours out a blessing upon you in grace and in kindness and in peace for your kindness and grace back to me.

Turning Abandoned Oil Wells Into Batteries with Renewell's Kemp Gregory

What if the millions of idle oil wells scattered across North America weren't just environmental liabilities, but the key to stabilizing energy grid? In this episode, we sit down with Kemp Gregory, CEO and co-founder of Renewell Energy, to discuss how his team is repurposing fossil-fuel infrastructure for the renewable energy age. By using fundamental physics and the massive depth of existing wellbores, Renewell is creating "gravity batteries" that move heavy weights to store and release energy on demand. The $450 Billion Problem: There are over 2 million idle wells in the U.S. that could take 100 years to clean up under current methods; Renewell offers operators a way to convert these liabilities into assets while meeting regulatory cleanup quotas. Mechanical Energy Storage: The system works by winching a 30,000-pound (15-ton) weight up and down a wellbore, providing a solution with zero self-discharge—meaning no energy is lost while the weight is held at the top. A "Win-Win" Business Model: By leveraging funds from oil companies that are already legally required to spend money eliminating wells, Renewell aims to drive the cost of storage down to an unprecedented $5 per kilowatt-hour. Scalability & Regulation: While they have already secured critical regulatory wins in California, Colorado, and New Mexico, the potential scale is massive—Kemp estimates that 10% of idle wells, or roughly 200,000 sites, are suitable for this conversion. Efficiency at Any Duration: Unlike chemical batteries, this mechanical system maintains the same round-trip efficiency whether it is discharging for one hour or 100 hours. Join us as Kemp Gregory shares how his background as a petroleum engineer at Shell led to an innovation that could provide 5-10% of the total energy storage the U.S. grid needs to go green.

Four days before Christmas in 1992, two sisters, nine-year-old Nicole Schoo and four-year-old Diana, knocked on a neighbor's door in Chicago. They were freezing, frightened, and completely alone. Their parents had boarded a plane to Acapulco for a nine-day vacation, leaving the girls behind with frozen meals, written instructions, and no adult supervision.As days passed, the situation inside the house spiraled. A blaring fire alarm and an overflowing bathtub finally forced the children to call 911. What police found shocked the nation. There was no babysitter, no emergency contact, and no way for the girls to reach their parents. Investigators soon learned this was not a mistake. The children had been intentionally left alone.When David and Sharon Schoo returned from their tropical trip, police arrested them at the airport. As the case unfolded, allegations of prior neglect and abuse emerged, raising serious questions about how the family had gone unnoticed for so long.The fallout changed the law. Public outrage led Illinois to pass the Home Alone Bill, clearly defining when children can legally be left unsupervised. Nicole and Diana were removed from their parents' custody, later adopted, and have remained out of the public eye ever since.This is the real life Home Alone case that ended with a law meant to protect children nationwide.

In a fading mining town in New Mexico, the old Econo Lodge was the kind of place everyone knew—sun-bleached, rundown, and filled with stories no one wanted to admit were true. As kids, the hotel's locked third floor was nothing more than a dare. But years later, when he and a group of thrill-seeking teens explored the abandoned property at midnight, the rumors proved themselves horrifyingly real. A little girl's shadow—solid, detailed, unmistakably human—watched them from a dark hallway before melting out of sight. It was the kind of sighting you try to explain away… until someone else tells you they saw her too. He never went back. The building is gone now. But whatever lived on that third floor? It didn't disappear with the demolition.

Huessy documents massive American intelligence failures regarding Chinese nuclear arsenal size, with projections indicating Beijing will possess thousands of warheads by the 2030s rather than maintaining historically minimal deterrent levels. Huessy proposes that potential South Korean or Japanese nuclear weapons development could leverage coercive pressure compelling Chinese engagement in serious arms control negotiations. 1959.  US PAID $100.00 FOR A MIG-15 TO DEFECT
