You need to see this before Wisconsin decides who runs the state. Francesca Hong, the socialist Democrat front-runner for governor, once called for canceling Thanksgiving as a celebration of colonialism and the “original superspreader event.” When CNN asked her straight up if she still believes that, she couldn't just say no. Instead she served up nearly a minute of word salad about being a chef, bringing people to the table, and how Thanksgiving is “incredibly painful for many people in our communities.” Views can evolve, she said — while never actually walking it back. This is the same candidate who has also claimed the service industry is rooted in white supremacy and that tipping itself is racist because it has “kept wages low for black people.” Pat also covered: Trump declares he's done with Iran after the latest attacks. James Talarico tries to prove he's a “real man” after the low-T hits. Nick Shirley on the ground in Ceuta as the migrant invasion hits Spain. Chuck Schumer gets pressed on the DSA's rise inside the Democrat Party. Day 53: Mitch McConnell still missing in action. Does this sound like someone who understands Wisconsin or someone who looks down on it? Have you ever met anyone who genuinely thinks Thanksgiving should be canceled or that tipping is racist?

Many dads are winning at work — and quietly losing at home.In this episode, Jon Hord joins Jey Young for a raw conversation about modern fatherhood, identity, and the pressure men feel to provide while still longing to be present. They unpack why so many fathers feel exhausted, disconnected, or angry — and how fear, unprocessed emotions, and outdated beliefs about manhood shape how we show up at home.This conversation challenges dads to move from being providers to becoming intentional leaders — at home, in relationships, and within themselves.This episode covers:Why dads often feel like they're failing at homeThe difference between being available and being presentHow fear shows up as anger in parentingWhy identity matters more than effortThe power of feedback from your kidsSmall daily changes that create long-term impactThis episode is about slowing down — not giving up.00:00 – The Exhaustion of Modern Fatherhood07:48 – Fear and Identity in Parenting12:12 – Shifting From Provider to Leader19:13 – Why Feedback From Kids Matters25:50 – Presence vs. Absence at Home34:10 – Unlearning Limiting Beliefs42:33 – Practical Advice for Young DadsTakeawaysMany dads succeed professionally but feel disconnected at homeFear often drives anger and frustration in parentingFatherhood requires an identity shift, not just more effortBeing present matters more than being perfectFeedback from children is essential for growthUnprocessed emotions leak into family dynamicsSmall, consistent changes compound over timeAsking kids how you're doing builds trust and connectionTime with children is limited — intentionality mattersContinuous self-improvement strengthens fatherhood

Pendant près de trente ans, l'affaire Dany Leprince semblait avoir livré sa vérité. Un homme avait été condamné à perpétuité pour le massacre de son frère, de sa belle-sœur et de deux de leurs filles. Puis, le 2 juillet 2026, la justice française a effacé ce verdict et ordonné un nouveau procès.Dans cet épisode : Chandleyr revient sur le quadruple meurtre de Thorigné-sur-Dué, la condamnation prononcée en 1997 et les témoignages aujourd'hui fragilisés. Une chronique true crime consacrée moins à la recherche d'un nouveau coupable qu'à la question laissée derrière l'annulation : que reste-t-il lorsqu'une vérité judiciaire cesse soudainement d'exister ?

The episode identifies a core structural shift in the managed services industry: the decoupling of service measurement from observable work due to the adoption of autonomous service desk technologies. This shift is driven by the introduction of automation platforms—such as Atera's Robin, Acronis AI Service Desk, and NinjaOne's endpoint automations—that eliminate or obscure traditional service tickets, shifting operational baselines and the metrics used for client billing and value demonstration. Evidence of this shift includes Atera guaranteeing that within 90 days, its Robin system will autonomously resolve half of Tier 1 and complex Tier 2 tickets, enforced via commercial contract terms. The company builds baselines by requiring six months of client ticket history before implementation. Supporting data from Channel EDE and AT&T show that automation can suppress visible ticket volume while inflating claims of efficiency and avoided incidents, independent of provider-side measurement. According to Dave Sobel, AT&T tracked autonomous incident handling since 2018, but most MSPs lack comparable historical data. Further developments reinforce this transition: NinjaOne integrates with ServiceNow to create incidents without human intervention, while Ingram Micro channel feedback observes partners aiming to increase business without staff growth. Broader labor market data and user sentiment surveys reveal that AI-backed automation does not show aggregate productivity gains (Stanford Economic Policy Institute) and is generally viewed with skepticism: Gallup and Apistevist data highlight declining confidence in corporate AI deployments and increased worker nostalgia for pre-automation workflows. The operational impact for MSPs centers on data ownership, measurement accountability, and renewal risk. As traditional records like tickets are eliminated or fragmented, providers who lack their own carefully preserved baselines may find themselves forced to rely on vendor-generated claims for demonstrating avoided work or cost savings. This creates exposure to contract risk, compromised pricing leverage, and governance complexity—especially if ticket-level detail, taxonomy, or supporting operational notes are lost in platform migrations or poorly configured retention policies. According to Dave Sobel, preparing by exporting comprehensive ticket histories, freezing operational taxonomies, and independently counting non-ticket sources of demand are now urgent requirements to maintain accountability and defensible value in future client negotiations. 00:00 The Ticket Is Disappearing 03:45 You Can't Invoice an Absence 07:20 The Client Already Stopped Believing 11:18 Why Do We Care?

Charles Burton and Gordon Chang note Xi Jinping broke tradition by skipping the 50th anniversary of the devastating Tangshan earthquake, sending a surrogate instead. Burton suggests this absence may signal political instability or paranoia regarding his domestic standing. The earthquake historically symbolizes a loss of the "mandate of heaven." Furthermore, vacancies on the Central Military Commission and the mysterious death of former Premier Li Keqiangindicate profound internal disarray and a lack of clear succession.

For most high school programs, the players that you have in your program are going to be pulled in multiple directions, whether that be by other sports, school activities or family activities. You have to show your human side and have some understanding, but you also have to hold players and families accountable for their non-emergency absences. In this pod, we discuss how to create a positive absence policy and how to clearly define repercussions, In addition, we have a quote from one of our Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, and a discussion of the predecessor to Dean Smith at North Carolina . . .
« 50 jours, c'est trop ! », s'exclame Le Messager en première page. « Parti du Cameroun le 7 juin dernier en compagnie de son épouse, pour un séjour privé en Europe, Paul Biya a déjà passé 50 jours hors du territoire national, déplore le quotidien de Douala, laissant un pays en panne, un gouvernement impotent et le peuple souverain dans le stress et l'incertitude du lendemain ». « Durant cette période de 50 jours, précise pour sa part le site Actu Cameroun, l'activité de la présidence de la République s'est limitée à la signature de quelques décrets militaires et à l'envoi de télégrammes officiels. Cette absence prolongée génère une forte attente politique à Yaoundé, rythmée par des rumeurs, de faux décrets circulant sur les réseaux sociaux et des appels de l'opposition à clarifier la situation ». Vacance du pouvoir ? En effet, précise Actu Cameroun, « plusieurs figures de l'opposition et intellectuels dénoncent une paralysie ou une gestion dématérialisée de l'État. Le député d'opposition Jean-Michel Nintcheu a officiellement appelé le Conseil constitutionnel à constater la vacance du pouvoir présidentiel. Une position partagée par certains juristes (…). Face aux critiques, les autorités rejettent fermement l'idée d'un vide institutionnel et affirment que le président continue d'étudier les dossiers et de donner des directives ». Enfin, pointe encore le site camerounais, « bien qu'une rumeur récurrente évoque un délai fatidique de 45 jours d'absence pour acter une destitution, les analystes rappellent que la Constitution camerounaise ne fixe aucune limite de temps concernant les séjours du président à l'étranger ». À noter ce chiffre donné par Le Journal du Cameroun : « En 43 ans au pouvoir, Paul Biya aurait passé environ 2 600 jours à l'étranger, soit près de 7 ans… ». C'est « le record absolu des séjours privés des chefs d'État africains hors de leurs pays ». Malaise ? Alors, où se trouve Paul Biya ? En Suisse… Le président camerounais, 93 ans, y séjourne très souvent, notamment pour des soins médicaux. Et ce serait encore le cas, d'après Jeune Afrique : « le chef de l'État camerounais a été admis dans une clinique privée suisse, croit savoir le site panafricain, quelques semaines après avoir fait un malaise au palais présidentiel, lors de la réception donnée à l'occasion de la fête nationale, le 20 mai. Une version démentie par la présidence ». En tout cas, poursuit Jeune Afrique, « ces derniers jours, tout semblait indiquer un retour imminent de Paul Biya à Yaoundé. La présidence avait engagé les préparatifs habituels : dispositif sécuritaire, organisation logistique, coordination des équipes. Plusieurs membres de la délégation se tenaient prêts à quitter la Suisse. Mais le départ a été reporté au dernier moment, relançant les rumeurs sur l'état de santé du chef de l'État, certains évoquant même sa disparition ». Là encore, démenti formel des autorités : « "Vous pensez que nous serions irresponsables au point de cacher le décès du chef de l'État ?", a balayé Samuel Mvondo Ayolo, contacté par Jeune Afrique. Celui qui fut ambassadeur à Paris assure que Paul Biya est en "très bonne santé", qu'il "n'a jamais été hospitalisé" et qu'il a encore récemment convié ses proches "à déjeuner dans un restaurant d'Évian", en France ». La question de la succession… Quoi qu'il en soit, cette absence du chef de l'État interroge… et pose la question de l'après. « Dans un régime où les arbitrages essentiels remontent au sommet, l'absence prolongée du chef peut encourager les ambitions et accélérer les luttes de clans », relève Afrik.com. Et « la question de l'après-Biya ne dépend plus seulement de rumeurs sur sa santé, avec un président de 93 ans absent depuis sept semaines, une vice-présidence constitutionnelle non pourvue, un gouvernement toujours attendu plusieurs mois après le début du nouveau mandat et un parti contraint de démontrer qu'il peut fonctionner sans son chef dans la salle. Que Paul Biya rentre demain ou dans un mois, conclut Afrik.com, la question de l'organisation de sa succession est désormais installée au cœur du débat public camerounais (…). »

Where do you run when life feels unsafe—when fear hits, attacks come, and danger feels close? In Psalm 91, this message challenges the assumption that God promises a pain-free life and instead shows a deeper promise: protection through His presence. Walk through “dwelling” in the shelter of the Most High, learn what it means to abide, and confront the subtle lie that if God loves you, nothing hard should happen. From Satan quoting Psalm 91 to Jesus, to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire, to Peter sinking in the storm, the sermon calls you to choose your refuge—worldly escape or the Lord—and to trust Jesus as your ultimate, eternal security.

You might be following a proven sales process, you might even be generating consistent revenue. But if you are not building in a regular strategic thinking space, your sales results are almost certainly not as strong as they could be and they are more fragile than you realise. In this episode of the Selling to Corporate® podcast, Jess Lorimer addresses one of the most common and costly problems she sees across the sales processes of coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers: the failure to stop, think strategically, and work on the process rather than just in it. Jess explains why this matters whether your sales are going well or badly, what specifically goes wrong when strategic thinking space is absent, and what you need to do differently in the second half of 2026 to make September and Q4 the most productive quarter of your year. Who This Episode Is For Coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers selling to corporate clients Anyone who feels busy in their business but is not seeing the sales results they expected Those who have invested in a sales strategy or programme but are not consistently reviewing whether it is working Business owners who are generating some revenue but want to make the second half of the year significantly stronger Anyone who has been experimenting with different sales approaches and wondering why nothing is gaining traction Service providers who want to understand why their sales process is difficult to troubleshoot or improve Questions This Episode Answers What is the number one problem in B2B sales processes, even for people already making sales? Why does testing and experimenting with sales strategies cost more than buying a proven one? What does strategic thinking space mean in a sales context, and why does it matter? What are the three specific problems that arise when coaches and consultants skip strategic thinking in their sales process? Why does a lack of specificity in B2B sales make everything harder? How do I know whether my sales process is working or whether I am working around its gaps? What should I focus on in the second half of 2026 to have a stronger September and Q4? Key Takeaways 1. The Number One Problem Is Not the Market. It Is the Absence of a Proven Process. Jess opens this episode with a direct challenge to one of the most common narratives she hears from coaches and consultants in 2026: that the market is slow, budgets are frozen, and decision makers are not signing things off. Her clients are signing 40k, 60k, and six-figure retainers. People are charging over 3,000 pounds for a 45-minute corporate session. First-time corporate workshop sales are happening every week. The difference between those results and the experience of people who feel stuck is not the market. It is whether or not they are using and consistently implementing a proven sales process. If your sales are not producing the results you want, the answer is not to wait for the market to improve, jump to a new specialism or test a new strategy. It is to implement something that is already proven and implement it properly. 2. Experimenting With Your Own Sales Strategy Is More Expensive Than Buying a Proven One One of the patterns Jess challenges directly in this episode is the tendency among intelligent, cost-conscious business owners to build their own sales strategy using AI tools, borrowed frameworks, or pieced-together advice, rather than investing in something with a verified track record. When you test an unproven strategy, you have no baseline for what results to expect, no reliable metrics to monitor and no way to troubleshoot what is or is not working. That means that when it does not produce results, you cannot tell whether the strategy failed, whether you executed it incorrectly or whether you simply did not give it enough time or volume. The real cost of testing unproven strategies is not the time spent on the activity itself. It is the confidence lost when nothing works, the motivation that erodes and the months or quarters where no revenue is generated because the strategy was never set up to succeed in the first place. A proven strategy removes that uncertainty and gives you something concrete to follow, measure, and improve. 3. Strategic Thinking Space Is Not Procrastination. It Is a Sales Action. The central concept in this episode is what Jess calls strategic thinking space: the deliberate practice of pausing to assess, analyse, and plan before and during sales activity, rather than simply executing tasks and hoping they produce results. Strategic thinking space is not sitting still, overthinking decisions, or using reflection as a reason to avoid action. It is the opposite: it is taking calculated, informed action rather than reactive, rushed action. In sales, speed and volume matter, but they only produce results when they are applied to the right activities with the right foundations in place. 4. Three Specific Problems Arise When Strategic Thinking Space Is Missing Jess identifies three concrete ways that the absence of strategic thinking space damages a sales process: Problem One: Jumping Into Activity Without Laying the Foundations The most common version of this is outreach. A business owner decides to do email outreach, sends 10, 20, or 50 emails, receives little or no response, and concludes that email outreach does not work. What they skipped was the foundational thinking: who specifically to target, what messaging would resonate with that person commercially and how to position themselves as a credible and relevant resource worth speaking to. The task was completed. The foundations were not. Without the foundations, the activity produces poor results, the person loses confidence in the method, and they move on to the next thing, repeating the same pattern. Problem Two: Lack of Specificity Without thinking space, most coaches and consultants default to broad, generalised positioning: their services work for any organisation, at any level, in any industry. They are afraid to narrow down because it feels like ruling people out. In reality, the absence of specificity makes everything harder. Lead generation becomes unfocused. Sales calls lack the diagnostic depth that comes from specialised expertise. Proposals feel generic rather than tailored. And when a genuine specialist appears in the same shortlist, the generalist loses. Specificity is not a limitation on who you can help. It is what makes it possible to identify the right people, ask the right questions and create offers that convert because they speak directly to a defined problem in a defined context. Problem Three: Troubleshooting Becomes Impossible For those operating a proven sales process, strategic thinking space is what makes it possible to spot early warning signs that something needs adjusting, before the problem becomes a crisis. Without that thinking space, you remain in constant doing mode, unable to step back and assess whether the activity is producing the right indicators at the right volume. The risk is that you miss early signals that something is working exceptionally well and could be scaled, or that something is underperforming and needs to change. Both missed opportunities cost revenue. For those not yet on a proven process, troubleshooting is even harder because there are no established benchmarks to compare against. 5. Corporate Clients Want Specialists, Not Trend-Followers Jess addresses a temptation she sees frequently in the online business space: when sales slow down, pivot to something new. Launch a different course, rebrand to a different specialism, or chase whatever appears to be gaining traction in the market right now. She is clear about why this does not work for people selling to corporate clients. Organisations are not buying generalists or people who shift their positioning with market trends. They are buying specialists: people who have depth, consistency and a track record in a specific area. Changing specialism under pressure signals exactly the opposite of what corporate buyers are looking for. The answer to a difficult market is not a new direction. It is a more focused, better-executed version of the proven process you already have, or one you should be implementing. Key Quotes "The market is not the problem. The people I work with are signing 40k, 60k, six-figure retainers right now. The difference is that they are using a proven system and following it properly." "Not allocating thinking space is a real problem in sales. Thinking strategically and allowing yourself that time and energy to do so is an action in sales." "In being valuable to everybody, your offer is valuable to absolutely no one. Strategic thinking space gives you the specificity that then lets you action every other part of your sales process effectively."

The July 23, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report examines commodity market volatility, political gridlock affecting agricultural policy, and highly concerning weather forecasts. Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net highlights new contract highs in November soybeans, attributing current market dynamics to geopolitical conflicts in the Black Sea and Iran, combined with the threat of dry weather in the Corn Belt. In political news, legislative progress on the Farm Bill and other GOP initiatives remains stalled due to Mitch McConnell's health-related absence and the passing of Lindsey Graham, which has left Republicans without key committee majorities. Meanwhile, the Renewable Fuels Association is heavily promoting new polling data demonstrating 73 percent bipartisan voter support for year-round E15 gasoline sales in an effort to overcome Senate roadblocks. Finally, Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather warns that while 30-day rainfall totals appear average, the most recent 15 days were historically dry, and predictive models for the next 14 days project potentially record-breaking heat and drought conditions across major corn and soybean producing regions.02:06 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:55 McConnell's Absence, Graham's Death Hobble GOP Initiatives09:48 RFA Uses Voter Polling Data to Support E1517:02 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm Weather ★ Support this podcast ★

AI can be fantastic for relieving a lot of administrative burdens, allowing individuals to focus on more complex tasks that need a human touch. However, many are all too quick to install and integrate, which can lead to crucial vetting processes being skipped. So many applications have also integrated various AI features, and while you may have vetted the software before these were available, those new AI features still need scrutiny before widespread use within the business. In this episode, we dive into why there is a need for a more cautious approach to implementing AI and share some tips on basic Information Security checks you can do to ensure an AI application or integration is safe to use. You'll learn · The link between AI and increasing data breaches · Recent incidents as a result of AI misuse or error · Key considerations for the implementation of AI technology · 11 Information Security checks for AI tools Resources · Isologyhub · ISO 42001 Webinar · IAF Accreditation Check In this episode, we talk about: [02:25] Episode Summary – Stephanie Churchman explains the need for caution when exploring the implementation of AI tools, and provides guidance on some information security checks you can perform to ensure your data stays safe. [02:45] The link between AI and increasing data breaches: Data breaches tripled since the wide adoption of AI in early 2024 and studies are saying there is a clear link between these two events. Here in the UK alone, 32% of businesses experienced a cyber-attack or data breach in 2023, compared to 43% of businesses in 2025, with us already steadily on track to surpass that in 2026. Does this mean people shouldn't use AI at all? No, of course not, but we do need far more caution before you simply start using a tool. [03:35] Recent incidents as a result of AI misuse or error: ChatGPT copycat – There was a ChatGPT clone available as a web extension that was downloaded by some 1.5 million users. It functioned just like ChatGPT, answered queries and provided links to legit sources. But, in the background, it was scrapping passwords and gathering information that was to be sold off without users knowledge. Sage Copilot - The popular accounting software had to temporarily suspend Sage Copilot after a data-isolation flaw occurred. This incident caused an issue where users who prompted the AI to list recent invoices ended up with incorrectly surfaced financial records belonging to unrelated businesses. This was a major security issue, especially for an application thousands of businesses rely on to track their financial records. Google Gemini – Google Gemini was found to have been abused by bad actors for data reconnaissance. One particular group were building profiles on major cybersecurity and defense companies and were looking to gather specific technical job roles and salary information. Google's threat intelligence team characterized this activity as a blurring of boundaries between professional research and malicious reconnaissance. Their soft touch approach allowed the bad actors to craft tailored phishing personas and to further identify potential soft targets to compromise. [06:30] Key considerations for the implementation of AI technology: Any software or technology you plan on introducing into the business that will interact with your and your customers data should be subject to clear vetting procedures, with clear rules for use to follow. Before integrating an AI tool, ask yourself, is the tool you want to use: a) Relevant b) Safe c) Ethical Ethical may sound strange, and will depend on what you're using an AI for. Take CV sorting for example, many studies have shown that AI's can have an inherited bias based on their training data. This has also now evolved into AI based recruitment tools preferring AI generated CV's over human written ones. From a safety standpoint, think about the data you are feeding into those recruitment tools, that's personally identifiable information, full names, phone numbers, emails and possibly even addresses. A full profile for an individual. Is that system your using closed, do you know if you consented to having any input data used for further training? Don't just assume that inputted data won't be used beyond your control. If that recruitment AI tool gets hacked, who do you think is liable for the breach? Is it the AI tool developer or the business that input the data? You think the answer would be clear, but the legality of all this is still being debated. [09:10] 11 Information Security checks for AI tools: #1: Have an AI Policy and AI Integration approval process in place - Many businesses will already have an AI policy in place, most are very generic, so we recommend looking at the guidance provided by ISO 42001 to see what good looks like for an AI policy. You should also create a clear approval process that any AI tools must pass BEFORE people start using them. This should be clearly communicated to the wider team, and there should be a method to manage these checks such as a ticketing system to kick off the process. #2: Understand where your data actually goes - Find out whether inputs are used to train the vendor's models. These inputs can include prompts, uploaded files or even customer data depending on what the tool is. You also need to find out how long that data is retained, and whether it's stored in a specific jurisdiction. You can look for answers to these in a DPA (Data Processing Agreement), don't rely on the basic marketing blurb they state on the website. If those answers aren't provided, contact the tools support or basic enquiries to find out. #3: Check for a SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent certification – This is an easy check for vendor's security posture. Absence of certification shouldn't automatically disqualify a vendor or tool, but it should prompt more due diligence, not less. Even with a certification in place, you also need to double check that it's valid. ISO 27001 for example will need to be certified by a UKAS accredited certification body for those in the UK. For overseas, you will have your own ISO accreditation bodies, which can be verified on the IAF website. #4: Map out third-party and subprocessor risk - Most AI tools sit on top of other infrastructure like cloud hosting, underlying foundation models and additional analytics tools. You should ask for a subprocessor list to fully understand who else touches the data. #5: Test for prompt injection and data leakage - If the tool interacts with external content such as emails, documents or web pages, it can potentially be manipulated by malicious instructions hidden in that content. Businesses should ask vendors how they mitigate this and ideally test it themselves. #6: Clarify access controls and permission scoping - This is especially the case for AI agents or tools with system integrations. You need to establish if the tool operates with the same permissions as the user, or whether it has broader access. Overprivileged AI agents may operate independently with no human oversight. 'Human in the loop' has become a common phrase within cyber security for a reason, you always need a point of human oversight to ensure the AI is doing what it's supposed be doing and is doing so safely. #7: Ask about model update and versioning transparency - You need to ensure that the vendor won't just silently swap out the underlying model for its AI tools, as this can introduce sudden behaviour changes in the tool itself. Transparency is a key component of emerging AI security frameworks and regulations such as ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act. If a vendor isn't willing to tell you when they're making major changes to their tools, then it's not a vendor you want to entertain. #8: Evaluate the output reliability and hallucination risk in context - For security-adjacent or compliance-adjacent AI tools, factually wrong outputs are a risk. AI can have a tendency to 'hallucinate' data or outcomes and then present them as fact. So, ask the vendor what guardrails exist and whether their tools' outputs are auditable / traceable. They should know what data was used to train their models, or where their models are pulling data from. If they don't or can't control what data is being used, then it's not a tool you can 100% trust. #9: Review incident response and breach notification commitments - If the vendor is breached, do you how quickly you would be notified, and what their recovery process looks like? If you hold ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, or simply have a business continuity plan in place then you will already have similar procedures in place for peace of mind for your own customers, so why should you settle for any less? And just like your clients would expect, breach notifications and expected recovery times should be contractually defined, not just assumed. #10: Consider the supply-chain risk of the vendor itself - This tech is still relatively new, and so newer AI vendors may have smaller security teams and less mature processes than what you may be used to with more established providers. However, startup pace doesn't mean you have to tolerate the start-up risk. Consider all of the previously mentioned steps, if they don't have a lot of that in place, then they may not be mature enough yet for you to go ahead with. This doesn't mean you have to automatically disqualify them, if they have a clear plan of action for growth, which shows a clear focus on increased security and transparency within a reasonable timeframe, then it's still worth considering. #11: AI tool monitoring and Kill switch – In addition to this initial vetting procedure, you should also have a process in place to continuously monitor these AI tools too. Many AI tools aren't static, they'll update and become better or possibly introduce issues as they will inevitably face the risk of bugs and other technical problems as they roll out updates. If a tool is consistently encountering issues, continuous monitoring allows this to be flagged up as a security issue. Which is where you'll also need a kill switch in place if an AI tool is behaving unsafely. It's important that you know how to isolate it and remove it from your systems. AI tools are more ingrained that your typical software, often designed to work in tandem with existing apps rather than as a standalone system. This will mean that some tools will have access to possibly sensitive data, something that needs to be protected if the AI tool experiences issues that could lead to that data being compromised. The relevant staff, likely your IT team, need to have a clear process for what to do in those scenarios.

Dr. William Li is a Harvard-trained physician, co-founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation, and New York Times bestselling author whose work centers on one quietly radical premise: the power to stay healthy lives inside you. In this conversation, we explore the five hardwired defense systems the body runs continuously, angiogenesis, stem cells, the gut microbiome, immunity, and DNA protection, and what it looks like to actually support them through food, sleep, and daily choices.What We Dive Into:1. You are not just one organism. You carry 39 trillion bacteria inside you, many of which send signals up through the vagus nerve directly to the brain, shaping mood, social behavior, and stress levels.2. Your body was born with 70 million extra stem cells stored in bone marrow, ready to mobilize and repair damage whenever called. Sleep, food, and metabolic health directly influence how effectively they do their job.3. The environment is full of things we cannot fully control, microplastics, toxins, pollution. What we can control is whether our internal defense systems are strong enough to handle the load. Chronic stress degrades those systems faster than most environmental exposures.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

Bun quitte Zig pour Rust en 11 jours à coups de Claude Code, pour 165 000$ payés par Anthropic : la réaction du créateur de Zig ne se fait pas attendre. TypeScript 7 débarque, réécrit en Go, 8 à 12x plus rapide. Entre les deux, Vidocq réimplémente Jakarta EE en souverain, le COBOL met un uppercut aux microservices, et un CTO demande à son équipe combien de temps il lui faudrait pour revenir à sa vélocité antérieure sans Claude Code. De quoi réfléchir avant le prochain rewrite. Enregistré le 17 juillet 2026 Téléchargement de l'épisode LesCastCodeurs-Episode-342.mp3 ou en vidéo sur YouTube. News Langages Est-ce qu'on peut aussi utiliser des double, des longs, ou autre pour gérer les montants monétaires en Java ? https://blog.frankel.ch/bigdecimal-vs-double/ double (IEEE 754) Usage : Calculs scientifiques, métriques, statistiques. Avantages : Très performant (matériel), idéal pour l'approximatif. Risques : Erreurs d'accumulation, égalité (==) trompeuse, NaN / -0.0. Bonnes pratiques : Utiliser une tolérance (epsilon ou ULP) pour comparer ; utiliser des algorithmes de sommation compensée (Kahan/Neumaier) pour la précision. BigDecimal Usage : Finance, comptabilité, fiscalité (précision décimale stricte). Avantages : Contrôle total des arrondis et de l'échelle. Risques : Lent (allocations), immutabilité (risque de mauvaise réaffectation), confusion equals() vs compareTo(). Bonnes pratiques : Initialiser via String ou valueOf() ; utiliser compareTo pour l'égalité. Point fixe (long) Usage : Trading, systèmes haute performance, paiements. Avantages : Très rapide, déterministe, zéro allocation. Risques : Gestion manuelle de l'échelle et des débordements (Math.addExact). Points de vigilance en production Sérialisation (JSON) : Préférer les String pour BigDecimal pour éviter la perte d'échelle. Atomicité : double n'est pas atomique ; utiliser volatile ou DoubleAdder (pour les compteurs). Tests : Toujours définir un delta ou Offset pour les tests de flottants. Bibliothèques recommandées Moneta (JSR 354) : Standard bancaire complet. decimal4j : Optimisé pour le point fixe haute performance. Apache Commons Numbers : Outils robustes pour la précision et les sommations. Typescript 7 est de sortie devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-7-0 Performance majeure : Portage natif en Go offrant des gains de vitesse de 8x à 12x et une consommation mémoire réduite. Architecture optimisée : Utilisation du multithreading (mémoire partagée) et parallélisation native (analyse, vérification de types,émission). Nouvelles options de contrôle : Introduction des flags –checkers, –builders (parallélisation) et –singleThreaded (mode mono-cœur). Nouvel observateur de fichiers : Passage à une solution basée sur @parcel/watcher pour une meilleure réactivité et stabilité du mode –watch. Compatibilité et transition : Compatible avec les bases de code TypeScript 6.0. Utilisation du package @typescript/typescript6 recommandée pour maintenir des outils dépendants de l'ancienne API. Changements de configuration : Durcissement des défauts (ex: strict activé par défaut) et suppression de nombreuses options obsolètes (target: es5, baseUrl, etc.). Amélioration de l'expérience éditeur : Serveur de langage (LSP) plus stable avec une réduction de 80 % des erreurs et 60 % des crashs. Limitations actuelles : Support incomplet pour les frameworks utilisant des plugins de langage (Vue, Svelte, Astro, Angular) en attendant une API stable. "Java, the documentary" est sur YouTube, retraçant l'histoire du langage youtube.com/watch?v=… La vidéo n'était pas encore disponible à l'heure de l'enregistrement. Sortie officielle le 17 juillet. Avec des interviews de James Gosling, Brian Goetz, Venkat Subramaniam, et bien d'autres. Librairies What's New in 8.0 - Hibernate docs.hibernate.org/orm/8.0/whats-new L'intégration de Jakarta Persistence 4.0 apporte des nouveautés majeures comme EntityAgent (qui standardise la StatelessSession), les mappings de result set en SQL natif, et de nouvelles options de configuration de session et de requêtes (Session Creation Options, Query Options). Le support de Jakarta Data 1.1 est ajouté pour les Hibernate Data Repositories, incluant l'intégration avec les requêtes statiques JPA4, les projections @Select, et les repositories asynchrones via Jakarta Concurrency ou Hibernate Reactive. L'introduction du Graph-based Flushing remplace l'ancienne approche basée sur des heuristiques par un modèle de dépendances utilisant les contraintes relationnelles, afin d'améliorer la fiabilité des tris, la gestion des batchs et les performances globales (bien que l'ancienne méthode reste temporairement disponible). L'API ProcedureCall a été améliorée pour faciliter le casting des résultats (asResultSetOutput) et permettre la déclaration paresseuse (lazy) du mapping des ResultSet. Hibernate supporte désormais la sécurité au niveau de la ligne (Row-Level Security) de manière native pour les bases de données compatibles (PostgreSQL, Db2, SQL Server, CockroachDB) afin de gérer la visibilité en contexte multi-tenant. Une nouvelle méthode getReference() permet dorénavant de récupérer la référence d'une entité directement à partir de son natural id. Le mode Safe Mode Validator (hibernate.query.safe_mode_enabled=true) fait son apparition pour bloquer les opérations risquées comme sql(), function() ou column() dans les requêtes HQL et Criteria, ce qui est particulièrement utile pour les applications exposées aux LLMs. La gestion des associations bidirectionnelles lors de la phase de flush peut maintenant être prise en charge automatiquement par Hibernate (hibernate.bidirectionality_management=true), synchronisant la référence côté inverse de l'association. Le Subselect Fetching est considérablement amélioré, supportant dorénavant les associations "to-one" pour le bulk select fetching (au lieu de se limiter aux collections) et devenant une option de premier ordre via FetchMethod.BY_SUBQUERY. Un des papas de Cucumber et Gherkin lance Var, une alternative pour le test et le BDD var.oselvar.com Lancement de Vár : Nouvel outil de test créé pour pallier les défauts de Cucumber. Limites de Cucumber : Syntaxe Gherkin trop rigide, intégration difficile avec les exécuteurs de tests et support éditeur limité. Usage avec l'IA : Conçu spécifiquement pour vérifier que les agents IA respectent les intentions et spécifications de l'utilisateur. Fonctionnement : Utilisation du Markdown plutôt que du Gherkin ; sert à la fois de guide et d'outil de vérification. Développement assisté : Code et documentation générés en grande partie par Claude sous supervision humaine. Appel aux retours : Projet ouvert aux tests et aux critiques de la communauté. Web Une nouvelle méthode HTTP : QUERY https://kreya.app/blog/new-http-query-method-explained/ Méthode HTTP QUERY (RFC 10008) pour les recherches complexes. Problème : GET (limité par l'URL) vs POST (sémantique inadaptée). Avantages : Permet un corps de requête, sûr, idempotent et cacheable. Limites : Support infrastructurel faible, non partageable par lien, cache complexe. Usage : À réserver aux requêtes complexes si l'environnement le permet. Comment je fais du design en tant que dev backend eventuallycoding.com/p/comment-je-fais-du-design-en-tant-que-dev-backend Hugo Lassiège retrace l'évolution de son workflow de création d'interfaces en tant que développeur backend, depuis ses débuts avec Bootstrap jusqu'à l'ère de l'intelligence artificielle. L'article explique comment la structuration des éléments visuels a progressé grâce à l'Atomic Design, l'émergence des design systems et l'adoption des design tokens via un framework comme Tailwind. L'auteur détaille son processus actuel qui s'appuie fortement sur Claude Design pour générer et itérer sur des maquettes à partir d'un brief, d'un screenshot ou d'un design system de référence. Il aborde également le risque de slopification et de standardisation extrême apporté par ces outils, rappelant que si l'IA simplifie la technique, il reste crucial d'injecter de l'identité et de l'originalité pour éviter un web trop aseptisé. Data et Intelligence Artificielle De l'utilisation de SKILL.md et de "loop engineering" pour augmenter sa productivité glaforge.dev/posts/…/of-skills-and-loops-with-ai-assistance Les skills permettent d'encoder une procédure de manière répétable et automatisable Le loop engineering enlève l'humain de la boucle afin que l'agent atteigne un objectif donné de façon plus autonome Pour écrire des Codelabs (sorte de tutoriel guidé pas à pas) Guillaume a transformé une séance de création de codelab avec son agent préféré (Antigravity) en skill réutilisable pour l'écriture de ses prochains codelabs Il a également utilisé l'approche de "loop engineering" à la mode en ce moment pour que son agent IA compile, exécute, teste les instructions et le code de son codelab, pour qu'il soit complètement fonctionnel Gain estimé : passer de 2 jours de travail à moins de 2 heures ! Redeploying Claude Fable 5 anthropic.com/news/redeploying-fable-5 Anthropic a annoncé le rétablissement de l'accès à ses modèles Claude Fable 5 et Mythos 5, qui avaient été suspendus suite à des restrictions d'exportation imposées par le gouvernement américain le 12 juin 2026. Cette suspension faisait suite à un rapport d'Amazon démontrant une méthode pour contourner les garde-fous de Fable 5, lui permettant d'identifier et d'exploiter une vulnérabilité logicielle (un jailbreak). Pour y remédier, Anthropic a renforcé ses mécanismes de sécurité en déployant un nouveau classifieur capable de bloquer cette technique spécifique dans plus de 99 % des cas, acceptant en contrepartie une augmentation des faux positifs sur des requêtes bénignes. Face à l'absence de consensus sur l'évaluation des jailbreaks, Anthropic s'associe à Amazon, Microsoft, Google et d'autres partenaires pour développer un standard industriel évaluant la sévérité de ces failles selon quatre critères : gain de capacité, étendue du gain, facilité d'arsenalisation et découvrabilité. L'entreprise s'engage également à approfondir sa collaboration avec le gouvernement américain, notamment via des évaluations pré-déploiement, un partage rapide d'informations sur les failles, et des ressources dédiées à la recherche conjointe sur la sécurité de l'IA. Outillage La réécriture de Bun en Rust et la réaction du créateur de Zig bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust et andrewkelley.me/post/my-thoughts-bun-rust-rewrite.html Bun, le runtime JavaScript et TypeScript écrit à l'origine en Zig, a été entièrement réécrit en Rust pour des raisons de stabilité et de gestion de la mémoire. Cette migration massive d'un demi-million de lignes de code a été bouclée en seulement 11 jours grâce à l'utilisation intensive de Claude Code fonctionnant en parallèle, pour un coût d'API estimé à 165 000 dollars financé par Anthropic. Andrew Kelley, le créateur de Zig, a réagi publiquement en qualifiant l'ancienne base de code de Bun de "slop" remplie de hacks et de fuites mémoire accumulées par une course aux fonctionnalités. Kelley exprime son soulagement face à ce départ, expliquant que les plantages incessants de Bun devenaient un passif réputationnel toxique pour le langage Zig et sa fondation. Le rachat de Bun par Anthropic fin 2025 avait déjà mis fin aux donations financières de Bun envers la Zig Software Foundation, facilitant cette séparation. La nouvelle version Rust de Bun passe désormais la quasi-totalité des tests, réduit la taille du binaire et est déjà déployée de manière transparente en production dans Claude Code. Nouveautés de Git 2.55 github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-55 Support natif de FSMonitor sous Linux via inotify pour accélérer les commandes comme git status sur les grands dépôts Intégration de la compaction incrémentale MIDX (multi-pack index) dans git repack pour optimiser la réécriture des métadonnées Amélioration drastique des performances de génération des bitmaps et des pseudo-merge bitmaps lors des tâches de maintenance Nouvelle commande expérimentale git history fixup pour intégrer facilement des modifications locales dans un commit antérieur Possibilité d'exécuter des hooks configurés en parallèle pour optimiser le temps de build et de validation Utilisation d'un autostash automatique lors d'un git checkout -m en cas de conflit de fusion pour éviter de bloquer l'espace de travail Nouvelle commande git format-rev permettant de formater rapidement des commits reçus via l'entrée standard (stdin) Support du push simultané vers un groupe de remotes configuré Protection contre l'exécution de séquences de contrôle de terminal malveillantes via les flux de progression distants Vidocq, une réimplémentation souveraine et sans dépendance de Jakarta EE et Microprofile vidocq.dev/posts/vidocq-a-sovereign-jakarta-ee-and-microprofile-runtime Lancement de Vidocq : Runtime Java open source complet, compatible Jakarta EE Core Profile et Souveraineté numérique : Projet européen hébergé sur Codeberg, sous licences EUPL 1.2, EPL 2 et GPL 2.0. Standardisation totale : Implémentation fidèle des spécifications (CDI, REST, JSON, etc.), validée par 5 650 tests TCK officiels. Sécurité radicale : Zéro dépendance externe et aucune bibliothèque tierce. Aucune manipulation de bytecode à l'exécution (« magie » générée à la compilation via JDK 25). Compatible JPMS, AOT, GraalVM et Leyden CDS. Disponibilité : Projet en phase alpha, code et documentation accessibles sur vidocq.dev. Article complémentaire qui revient sur la genèse de Vidocq, en utilisant l'IA et les TCKs pour driver l'aspect spec-driven development vidocq.dev/posts/the-story-of-vidocq Le "selfware" : Guillaume s'est fait plais' en vibe-codant son propre éditeur de texte glaforge.dev/posts/…/selfware-building-my-own-text-editor-without-knowing-swift Concept de « Selfware » : création de logiciels conçus exclusivement pour soi-même, sans monétisation ni contraintes liées aux utilisateurs tiers. Le rôle de l'IA : les agents de programmation (comme Antigravity) suppriment la barrière technique de l'apprentissage des langages (Swift, APIs) pour les non-développeurs. Développement minimaliste : privilégier la performance et l'utilité directe (démarrage instantané, interface native) au détriment des fonctionnalités complexes (plugins, télémétrie, gestion de comptes). Absence de pression : libération des contraintes liées à la compatibilité, à la maintenance logicielle et aux retours utilisateurs ; le logiciel n'a besoin d'être « assez bon » que pour ses propres besoins. Incitation à l'autonomie : encourager la création d'outils sur mesure pour résoudre les frictions quotidiennes plutôt que de subir les limitations des logiciels commerciaux. Architecture Le cobol a donné un uppercut au microservices https://freedium-mirror.cfd/@maahisoft20/your-microservices-lost-to-cobol-let-that-sink-in-8ce2e236d007 Retour d'expérience sur la migration d'un système COBOL vers des microservices cloud-native qui s'est soldée par un retour en arrière après avoir constaté que le traitement batch initial était plus rapide, moins cher et plus fiable Là où le batch COBOL traitait 2.4 millions d'enregistrements en 11 minutes, le système distribué modernisé à base de message queues, retries et Kubernetes prenait 47 minutes et tombait sous la charge COBOL brille par ses caractéristiques conçues spécifiquement pour la finance comme le calcul décimal précis sans floating point errors et l'absence totale d'overhead réseau, de conteneurs ou de cold starts Rappel que distribuer un système multiplie les points de défaillance silencieux et complexifie la gestion de la cohérence transactionnelle par rapport à une exécution locale séquentielle Une invitation à se demander si les projets de décomposition en microservices apportent réellement un gain de performance de bout en bout pour l'utilisateur final ou s'ils optimisent seulement le diagramme d'architecture Méthodologies Ma meilleure question d'entretien Spring beaufume.fr/articles/spring-interview Florian beaufumé partage sa question d'entretien favorite pour évaluer des développeurs Spring de niveau intermédiaire à avancé : "Que pouvez-vous me dire sur le paramètre spring.jpa.open-in-view ?". Ce paramètre détermine l'activation du pattern Open Session In View (OSIV) qui, lorsqu'il est à true (la valeur par défaut dans Spring Boot), maintient l'un EntityManager JPA ouvert durant toute la requête HTTP. Si l'OSIV facilite le développement en évitant les fameuses LazyInitializationException lors de la sérialisation des entités en JSON, il pose d'importants problèmes de performance en provoquant des requêtes SQL non maîtrisées (comme le problème du N+1 select) en dehors de la couche service. Maintenir l'OSIV actif augmente également le temps de rétention des connexions au sein du pool de la base de données, limitant la scalabilité de l'application. La recommandation est de désactiver ce comportement en le positionnant à false, et de gérer explicitement le chargement des données requises au sein des transactions (via des DTOs, des requêtes JOIN FETCH ou des Entity Graphs) pour garder le contrôle sur les accès à la base de données. 10 points à retenir du rapport AI Engineering 2026 : The Acceleration Whiplash faros.ai/blog/ai-acceleration-whiplash-takeaways L'IA a franchi un cap et est devenue l'auteur principal du code : le taux d'acceptation du code généré est passé de 20% à 60% dans les équipes étudiées par Faros AI. La vélocité métier est bien réelle, avec une augmentation de 66% des epics livrées et une hausse de 33,7% du throughput des tâches par développeur. Ce volume cache un code churn massif (+861%), ce qui signifie qu'une quantité énorme de code est supprimée ou remplacée peu après avoir été ajoutée. La qualité en aval se dégrade fortement : les bugs par développeur ont augmenté de 54% et le nombre d'incidents par pull request a explosé de 242,7%. Le processus de code review est complètement saturé, entraînant un temps médian de relecture multiplié par cinq et une augmentation de 31,3% des PRs mergées sans aucune revue. Le système repose de plus en plus sur les développeurs seniors qui subissent une "senior engineer tax", devant relire un volume insoutenable de code à l'apparence correcte mais structurellement fragile. Contrairement à certaines hypothèses récentes de DORA, une forte maturité DevOps ne protège pas les entreprises contre cette détérioration ; le "Acceleration Whiplash" frappe de la même manière les équipes très performantes. En résumé, les outils d'IA inondent les pipelines de livraison avec un volume de code pensé pour un rythme machine, alors que les systèmes de vérification reposent toujours sur un rythme de validation humain. Loi, société et organisation Le coût d'une equipe d'engineering qui ne sait plus ce qu'elle fait dans un contexte d'augmentation de coût des coding agents https://freedium-mirror.cfd/@developer_programmer/i-spent-47-000-on-claude-code-in-90-[…]-asked-me-one-question-and-i-couldnt-answer-it-af3b203f81bb Une équipe de 8 ingénieurs a vu sa vélocité de développement exploser en utilisant Claude Code de manière intensive, jusqu'à recevoir une facture d'API salée de 47 213 $ pour seulement trois mois d'utilisation. Face à cette dépense, la question piège du CTO n'était pas sur le montant, mais sur la dépendance : "Si nous arrêtions Claude Code demain, combien de temps faudrait-il pour que notre vélocité revienne à son niveau initial ?". L'auteur s'est rendu compte qu'il était incapable de répondre car son équipe, en particulier les profils juniors, avait commencé à perdre l'habitude de concevoir et d'implémenter des fonctionnalités complexes sans l'aide permanente d'un agent. Le deuxième risque stratégique soulevé est celui de la dépendance tarifaire et du vendor lock-in : si l'outil devient une infrastructure indispensable au quotidien, l'entreprise perd tout pouvoir de négociation face aux augmentations de prix de l'éditeur d'IA. Pour éviter que l'IA ne devienne une béquille qui atrophie les compétences de l'équipe, l'article suggère de poser des limites budgétaires strictes, d'organiser régulièrement des sprints sans IA ("AI-free sprints") et de concevoir des processus de développement portables. Retour de Nicolas Delsaux sur jqwik qui donne une perspective plus complète concernant jqwik, il me semble que vous oubliez (comme tous les gens qui parlent de LLM dans "l'industrie") que l'auteur n'a pas fait ça juste pour faire chier le monde, mais parce que ces outils ont des externalités incroyablement négatives, ce dont l'auteur s'explique dans son blog (blog.johanneslink.net/2026/06/09/the-jqwik-anti-ai-affair) Vous oubliez également de signaler que le ticket (github.com/jqwik-team/jqwik/issues/708) par lequel un utilisateur se plaint de cette fonctionnalité a été écrit par un agent. N'oubliez pas non plus que l'enthousiasme pour ces technologies n'est en fait pas universel, et que ces technologies sont loin d'être inévitables (les gains de vitesse ne sont, d'après circle CI - circleci.com/resources/2026-state-of-software-delivery, pas des gains de productivité ) OkHttp, Okio, Retrofit et SQLDelight rejoignent Commonhaus ! commonhaus.org/activity/315.html La fondation Commonhaus, via une publication de Andres Almiray, annonce l'arrivée de quatre projets majeurs de l'écosystème Java et Kotlin : OkHttp, Okio, Retrofit et SQLDelight. Ces projets, initialement créés chez Square (devenu Block), sont désormais regroupés et gérés sous la bannière lysine.dev au sein de la fondation. Jesse Wilson et Jake Wharton, créateurs et mainteneurs historiques de ces outils, rejoignent Commonhaus en tant que leaders de lysine.dev. Suite à leur départ de Block, ils expliquent avoir choisi Commonhaus pour offrir à leur immense communauté d'utilisateurs un cadre de gouvernance pérenne, stable et digne de confiance.

For twenty years, Christian Wiman has lived with a rare, incurable cancer. In the fall of 2022, during a stretch when the illness was especially bad, he wrote to his friend and Yale colleague Miroslav Volf: “I don't know what faith means anymore. I'm a 56-year-old with a pile of books behind me and an experimental bone marrow transplant ahead of me, and I don't know what faith means.” That letter became the seed of an extended correspondence between the poet and the theologian, now published as Glimmerings: Letters on Faith between a Poet and a Theologian. In this special collaboration with Arc Magazine, editor Mark Oppenheimer sits down with Volf and Wiman to unpack the letters that grew out of their long friendship and years of walking together through New Haven. They discuss what it means to love God, why doubt and absence might be constitutive elements of faith and presence rather than its opposite, and how a terminal diagnosis changed what each of them was willing to say and how freely they said it. They also trace the thinkers who shaped their thinking along the way, from Simone Weil's account of attention to Etty Hillesum's wartime writing, to Abraham Joshua Heschel's theology of the prophets, and they wrestle openly with where their understandings of Jesus Christ converge and diverge. Along the way, Wiman reflects on writing from a hospital room at Massachusetts General, on discovering that his fear was never death itself but the fear of dying without God, and on why grief, not fear, is what remains even after that fear falls away. Episode Highlights I don't know what faith means anymore. I'm a 56-year-old with a pile of books behind me and an experimental bone marrow transplant ahead of me, and I don't know what faith means. I sometimes find it hard to think what it means to love God. I don't know how to love God. Faith is what matters. Belief seems to me a matter of the institution and ascending to creeds and things like that. I think most of my theological thinking is existentially motivated. It's motivated by the kind of inner logic of the trust in which I'm involved. Most of the books that I wrote, I've written for myself. I'm one of those writers who doesn't have an audience. There is grace in my life if I can just keep my eyes open enough to see it. His mistake in some ways lets him see that the world is right, that there's a rightness to the world. What becomes clear is one's longing for God. Everything is stripped away and very little else seems to matter. What I want most in my life is the presence of God. And I fear dying without that. Just being alone at the moment of death. I was worried that he won't have God in that situation of need because attention might be lacking. About Miroslav Volf and Christian Wiman Miroslav Volf is the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School and founding director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. He is the author of Exclusion and Embrace, the NYT bestseller Life Worth Living (with Ryan McAnnally-Linz and Matt Croasmun), The Cost of Ambition, and more than twenty other books. Christian Wiman is the Clement-Muehl Professor of Communication Arts at Yale Divinity School. He has written and edited numerous volumes of poetry. He has lived with a rare blood cancer, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, for more than twenty years, an experience he wrote about in his memoirs My Bright Abyss and Zero at the Bone.

All eyes will be on Capitol Hill today to finally see 57-year-old Tom Kean Jr return to work, after a months-long mysterious disappearance from the public eye. Kean hasn’t been seen publicly since March 5th and has missed more than 100 votes over the past four months. The congressman is running for reelection in a hotly contested seat, so he has a lot of explaining to do, not only to his colleagues, but more importantly, to his constituents, Kean has only said that he was being treated for an unspecified medical condition, but has promised to reveal all in a floor speech in Congress today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
