Podcasts about Act

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/   Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers an unfiltered sit-down with William Stern, the Cardiff founder who went from 24-year-old startup owner to funding over $2.5 billion in small business loans this year.   The conversation goes straight at the topics most podcasts avoid: where U.S. money to Israel really goes, whether Building 7 was a controlled demolition, and what happened to JFK. They also take on the moon landing, abortion, Islam, and the case for wiping out Congress and starting over.   Nothing is off limits, and no side gets a pass.

Ep 195There are three album storylines I wanted to get into this week.First, Quavo has Pharrell executive producing Chromelife, a huge feature list and an Offset reunion. On paper that sounds great. I'm just not convinced Pharrell and a bunch of big names fix what hasn't worked for me about Quavo's solo albums.Then Megan Thee Stallion is getting Act 3 started with the return of Tina Snow, but we're already getting headlines about Klay Thompson again. I want to know when Megan's music gets to be the biggest story of a Megan album rollout.And finally, Drake is bringing the FOMO music to streaming and continuing what has turned into one hell of a comeback year.Three upcoming projects, three completely different side plots, and a lot to talk about.Timestamps(0:22) Quavo's album Qromelive (2:33) Is Pharrell right for this?(3:49) Migos reunion(5:15) Final Thoughts(6:33) Meg's album rollout(7:28) Tina Snow is back(8:10) Klay is becoming the focus(11:39) Too much is happening to mention Klay(15:28) Drake's FOMO coming to DSPs(16:15) This is revenge(18:52) I want to hear FOMO

What if the reason you can't get pregnant has as much to do with his health as yours? Most fertility conversations start and end with a woman's eggs and her age. Yet close to 80% of IVF cycles don't end in a live birth, and couples are spending $25,000 a round to find that out. Today I'm joined by fertility specialist Dr. Gabriela Rosa, who has spent 25 years helping couples who've been trying for four years or more. She explains why fertility is a team sport, how drinking, smoking, toxins, and age drive sperm DNA fragmentation, and why preconception care really takes 12 months, not three.  Gabriela also shares her fertility method, which produced a 78.8% live birth rate in couples who felt they'd tried everything. You'll also learn why small daily moments of joy may matter more than you think. If you or someone you love is trying to conceive, this conversation offers a clear, hopeful place to start.   "Act pregnant now to get pregnant later, having in mind that you already have within you right now 50% of the little baby that you want to create." ~ Dr. Gabriela Rosa   In This Episode: - Root causes of infertility & why fertility is a team sport - How men's drinking and THC affect outcomes - What causes sperm DNA fragmentation? - The impact of toxin exposure on fertility - Metabolic health, PCOS, and preconception care - Hormones and why testosterone backfires - Gaps in conventional fertility care - Dr. Rosa's F.E.R.T.I.L.E.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:The morning of our move, the pods were in the driveway, my dad had shown up ready to work, and my son was barely awake and in no shape to lift a box. Half an hour in, he asked if we were almost done. I felt the butterflies start up in my chest, and within seconds I was matching his drama word for word, with my dad standing right there taking it all in.Cathy has her own version of that moment - and I'm sure you do as well. We can laugh about it now, but both of us spent years believing we were responding to our kids when we were really just adding fuel to their fire.This episode is about non-reactivity, the piece of the Invitation to Change approach that I think quietly gets left behind while we focus on more concrete things like boundaries and natural consequences. Chaos needs two participants, so when you stop supplying your half, something shifts, and it has nothing to do with controlling your child.Cathy and I talk about where reactivity shows up in your body before your brain catches up, why the rules every "good family" follows can pull you into the wrong fight, and what to do when the demands and gaslighting leave you wondering who the parent is in your house. We also talk about safety, because sometimes that pounding heart is telling you something real.And we re-share a line from our friend Dina Cannizzaro that I think every parent should memorize. Put it on a sticky note, or your forearm, or bathroom mirror - it's pure gold.If your home has started to revolve around your child's moods and you're tired of losing the same argument over and over, this one is for you.YOU'LL LEARN:What Cathy and I each finally did mid-blowup that changed the relationship dynamicsThe early warning signs your body sends before you say something you regretWhy the small things you care about most can be the perfect distraction for your kidTwo questions to ask yourself when you feel triggered, and why one of them is about your safetyThe powerful line Dina recommends to step away from a fight without walking away from your childEPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream podcast episode 297 with Dina CannizzaroThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Naza, a film by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, features interviews with 24 members of elite intelligence units in the Israeli military describing the mechanics of carrying out remote, indiscriminate mass killing in Gaza. Since news spread of a 25-minute standing ovation for the film at the Venice Film Festival, it has provoked intense debate, with some Palestinians expressing criticism of the way that Israelis' confessions have made the genocide more “real” in the West than Palestinians' own testimony. Meanwhile, in Israel, the film has elicited disturbing incitement against the filmmakers (who currently remain abroad), and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to revoke the filmmakers' citizenship.What is the unique function of cinema focused on the perpetrators of genocide? How do we understand the concept of “evil” in listening to the voices of the murderers? And can these testimonies provoke a reckoning within global Jewry? To discuss these questions, Arielle Angel speaks with two filmmakers: Rami Younis, Palestinian journalist and co-director of the film Lyd, about the city in historic Palestine, now in the south of Israel; and Joshua Oppenheimer, director of the Oscar-nominated films The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence, about the Indonesian genocide.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for editing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Links and Further ReadingNaza, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel SzorThe Act of Killing and The Look of Silence, directed by Joshua Oppenheimer and AnonymousLyd, directed by Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland“Gaza before and after: New Google Maps imagery shows destruction of the Strip,” José A.

A political commentator suggests Labour and National may struggle to claw back support before election day. The leaders of the Greens, ACT, New Zealand First, Opportunity, and Te Pāti Māori have faced off in the Stuff's Kingmakers' Debate last night. It came as the latest 1News-Verian poll had both major parties poling at just 28% support. Political commentator Trish Sherson told Mike Hosking the minor parties have shown they're putting thought into their ideas. She says the major parties are struggling because they're trying to be everything to everyone but are becoming nothing to anyone. Sherson also thinks the minor parties are doing better at delivering their policies, saying that while the debate wasn't exciting, it was civil and substantive.

Does one tiny concern—a delayed reply, strange symptom, or awkward conversation—ever send your mind straight to the worst-case scenario? Worrying too much deprives you of sleep, wastes energy, and prevents you from living in the moment.Helping us learn how to interrupt the worry spiral are Leah Sanchez, a DBT therapist, ACT practitioner, coach, and CEO of the Agos Diwa Mental Health Services Center and Dr. Joyce Maglaque, a Fellow of the Philippine Psychiatric Association, a specialist in adult and addiction psychiatry, and Chief of Clinical Operations of Agos Diwa.For any collaboration, brand partnership, and campaign run inquiries, e-mail us at info@thepodnetwork.com.

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff   LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers raw redemption with Curtis Riggleman — a former car thief who slept in stolen cars as a homeless teenager. He's now Director of Operations over nine dealerships for LFG Auto Group, one of Central California's largest automotive groups.   Curtis breaks down how growing up in chaos taught him to read people better than any sales manual ever could. He explains why today's impatient, social-media-driven customers actually make closing easier, and reveals the real difference between a stall tactic and a genuine objection. He also opens up about the 2008 crash that wiped out everything he'd built — and the six months it took on the sales floor to claw it all back.   A kid who slept in stolen cars now runs nine dealerships. Whatever your excuse is, it's not good enough anymore.

When a student consistently misses deadlines, misplaces assignments, or struggles to get out the door in the morning, adults often label them as disorganized or careless. Handing them a paper planner or demanding they clean their desk rarely solves the underlying breakdown. Rachel Kapp, founder of Kapp Educational Therapy Group and co-host of the Learn Smarter Podcast, joins Emily to explore how families and educators can design organizational systems that work in the real world rather than just on paper. TAKEAWAYS Handing a student an organizational tool like a planner or binder does not create a system without an explicit, sustainable routine for maintaining it. Time management depends a lot on accurate time estimation, so neurodivergent learners often need to measure how long tasks actually take versus what they assume. Long-term projects demand backward planning, where students break complex assignment prompts into small, answerable questions mapped onto a calendar. Physical organization works best when adults reduce decision fatigue, and align processes with a child's natural pathways. School app sprawl and unmanaged digital inboxes increase baseline anxiety, overwhelming working memory and driving students to avoid tasks entirely. Executive functioning challenges don't reflect on intelligence, effort, or motivation. Mental health professionals, join us October 2 for a presentation by Heather J. DeAngelis, who will explore practical ways clinicians can adapt CBT and ACT to better meet the needs of adults with ADHD. The course is worth 1.5 continuing education hours, and is approved through both the APA and NBCC. Register now to join us October 2 at 2pm Eastern/11:00 am Pacific. Rachel Kapp is an educational therapist with more than two decades of experience helping students with diverse learning profiles build confidence and achieve academic success. After beginning her career as a lead preschool teacher and working as a private tutor since 2004, she specialized in educational therapy to better support students who learn differently. Her expertise spans reading, writing, mathematics, executive functioning, and individualized learning strategies. Rachel earned a BA with Honors in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley before completing her educational therapy coursework and master's degree at California State University, Northridge. She is a Board Certified Member of the Association of Educational Therapists, a member of CHADD and the International Dyslexia Association, and is trained in the Wilson Reading System.

On Monday, we broke down why excuses dressed up as "later" destroy your potential, and on Tuesday, we put waiting versus acting side-by-side. Today, on this Wednesday show, we are laying down the tactical blueprint: the Initiative Code. Most men sit around waiting for motivation to strike before they take action, but that is a trap that keeps you lazy. Motivation doesn't create action—action creates motivation. The moment you move, you kill the resistance. Here are the four non-negotiable rules of the Initiative Code you need to execute today: See it, own it: If you spot something that needs doing, it is your job now. Nobody is coming to save or fix it for you. When you handle business when nobody is watching—even if it's just taking out the trash or washing the dishes—your brain claps for you. Start before you're ready: Motivation follows action, not the reverse. Stop waiting to feel ready or inspired; take the first move and watch the motivation show up after you move. Act without being told: Waiting for orders is waiting to lose. True leaders see the gap, move before they are asked, and take absolute ownership of their ecosystem. Finish what you start: A half-done job is an undone job. Stop leaving unfinished tasks hanging over your head and close the loop before you rest. Tomorrow, we are putting boots on the ground with daily execution so you can bring this code directly into your home, your work, and your health. Stop waiting, kill the resistance, and let's win today. Warriors, let's get your s* Warriors Rise!

What if the future of assessment is not simply about creating better tests, but about measuring what truly matters? In Episode 92, Todd Zipper speaks with Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS, about the organization's evolution from the Educational Testing Service into a global measurement and talent-solutions organization. Amit explains why ETS acquired ACT, how WorkKeys can strengthen pathways from high school to employment, and why the education-to-workforce pipeline remains far too fragmented.Todd and Amit examine what traditional assessments capture and what they miss. They discuss falling math and reading performance, lessons from the latest international PISA results, and how AI could make communication, collaboration, curiosity, and other historically difficult-to-measure human skills more visible. Amit also makes the case for connecting formative and summative assessment into balanced systems and for using exit measures to hold colleges accountable for learning and employment outcomes.The conversation then turns to AI literacy and workforce adaptability. Amit offers a practical framework for understanding, applying, evaluating, and ethically navigating AI. Drawing on the ETS Human Progress Report, he explains the “adaptability paradox”: workers know they must continually adapt, but many do not know which skills to pursue or how to begin. He asks whether adaptability itself should become the next essential skill that educators and employers define, teach, and measure.

Today on Notable Leaders Radio, I sit down with Noemi Beres, Co-Founder of Podcast Connections and a master organizer who helps entrepreneurs land high-quality podcast interviews to build authority and grow their businesses. Growing up as an only child in a small town in Hungary, Noemi learned early on from her parents that hard work, persistence, and consistency are the real drivers of success. After starting her career in Denmark and Ireland, she made the bold leap into entrepreneurship in 2007 despite having no formal background in sales or marketing. When personal tragedy struck in 2019, followed by the loss of her business during the 2020 pandemic, Noemi chose to push forward, rebuilding her life and launching a thriving podcast booking agency from scratch. Throughout our conversation, Noemi shares why relationships must always come before results, how leaning into art helped her navigate profound grief, and why every leader needs a "just keep going" mindset. In This Episode, We Discuss Pivot Through Crisis with Unshakable Resilience When sudden loss or market disruptions threaten your livelihood, forward momentum becomes essential. Noemi opens up about losing her father, grandmother, and business in rapid succession during 2019 and 2020, and how choosing action over dwelling on the past allowed her to rise from the ashes. Prioritize Relationships Over Results True business growth happens when you lead with heart and generosity. As an active member of the Go-Giver community, Noemi explains how building genuine, trust-based connections creates far more meaningful impact than chasing quick transactions. Embrace Storytelling and Authentic Guesting Great podcasting relies on presence, vulnerability, and active listening. Noemi breaks down what makes an extraordinary podcast guest, highlighting how sharing real human stories creates a ripple effect that helps listeners feel seen, understood, and inspired. Build Your Life on Hard Work and Consistency Success is rarely an overnight phenomenon. Noemi reflects on how her parents instilled a strong work ethic in her from an early age, demonstrating that persistent effort and daily showing up ultimately unlock long-term achievements. A Final Reflection Our circumstances may shape our story, but they don't have to determine the ending. The moment we choose to keep moving forward despite fear, tragedy, or uncertainty is the moment we step back into our own power. With persistence, genuine kindness, and a commitment to serving others, we can rebuild from any setback, cultivate deep connections, and turn our greatest challenges into lasting impact. Carry This Forward Notice What story or past setback are you holding onto that might be keeping you from taking your next step forward? Reflect Where in your business or personal life can you shift your focus from seeking results to building genuine, heart-centered relationships? Act What is one small, consistent action you will take before tomorrow to keep moving toward your goals, regardless of current challenges?

Great onboarding does more than teach a new team member how to do a job. It creates clarity, connection, and a path toward long-term success in the practice. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Jenni Poulos, ACT Dental coach, about why retention begins before a team member's first day and how a structured onboarding process can help new hires become confident, independent contributors. You'll learn the essential elements of effective onboarding, how to create a support system for new hires, and how to use the 333 framework to guide development through the first three days, three weeks, and three months.For a practical roadmap to improve onboarding and team retention, listen to Episode 1106 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Retention begins during onboarding, when new team members start deciding whether the practice matches what they were promised during the hiring process.New hires need clarity around their responsibilities, measures of success, decision-making authority, and where to go for help.Belonging is created through intentional preparation, including having systems, logins, trainers, and team members ready before the new hire arrives.Shadowing alone is not a complete training process because new hires need a structured development plan rather than learning only from what happens during the day.A small committee of leaders, trainers, and culture-focused team members can provide different types of support and feedback throughout onboarding.The 333 framework establishes milestones for a new hire's first three days, three weeks, and three months, with increasing levels of competency and independence.Consistent feedback throughout the first 90 days ensures that expectations are clear and prevents the formal review from being the first time a new team member hears about a concern.Episode Chapters:00:00 Why great onboarding supports long-term retention02:11 Onboarding should be an intentional experience04:07 The questions new team members are asking08:12 Defining roles, responsibilities, and measures of success12:59 Why shadowing alone is not training14:03 Creating a committee of success and normalizing feedback16:00 Introducing the 333 onboarding framework20:39 What success should look like after three weeks28:00 Final thoughts and the 333 Onboarding GuideGuest Bio:Jenni brings to dental teams a literal lifetime of experience in dentistry. As the daughter and sister of periodontists and a dental hygienist, she has been working in many facets of the dental world since she first held a summer job turning rooms and pouring models at the age of 12. Now, with over 10 years of experience in managing and leading a large periodontal practice, she has a firm grasp on what it takes to run a thriving business. Her passion for organizational health and culture has been a driving force behind her coaching career.

Treasury secretary Iain Rennie believes that long term, New Zealand's financial position is unsustainable, with the cost of superannuation playing a significant role in that. National has previously campaigned on raising the age of eligibility from 65 to 67, and its coalition partner ACT favour an age change. New Zealand First leader, Winston Peters spoke to Lisa Owen about what they think of an age raise.

God Empowers the Weak (7)  (audio) David Eells, 9/30/26 We all want to manifest the fruit of the Spirit, but first there must be the crucifixion of the lusts. Jesus taught us and He's our example. Many people think He was an example so that we wouldn't have to die. No, Jesus didn't die so that we wouldn't have to die. Jesus died so that we could die. I'm talking about dying spiritually; dying to self. He died to make it possible for us to die to self.  Those who refuse to take up their cross and follow Him, and refuse to obey His commands, are refusing to be disciples. Even if they call themselves Christians. I want to show you that Jesus turned the other cheek, but He did it as an example to us. When Jesus was before Pilate and the Sanhedrin (Matthew 27:12-14), He resisted not the evil. He did turn the other cheek. He had the power to say “No.” He had more power than the disciples understood He had because they thought they were going to save Him with the sword. (Mat.26:52) Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. He said, “Don't you know I could call more than 12 legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53) Look, Jesus had power they didn't know of to keep from going to the cross. He didn't have to resort to man's arm of the flesh. One angel in the Old Testament killed 185,000 men (2 Kings 19:35) and Jesus is talking about calling 72,000 angels here. That's power! Christians need to realize that their power is not in the arm of the flesh; it's in the Kingdom of Heaven. That power should be used to fulfill God's Will. In the very next verse after Jesus said, “Don't you know I could call more than 12 legions of angels?” He said, “how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?” (Mat.26:54) We want the Scriptures to be fulfilled in us, which is the manifestation of Christ; however, they won't be fulfilled if you refuse to go to your cross. Just as Jesus had a free will and He could have called the 12 legions of angels, we have a free will, and we could, in many cases, walk away from our cross. But that doesn't mean we won't be faced with it again. We will be faced with it again and again because God is merciful. And we'll be faced with it until we get it right or just run out of time because we are running out of time. We've been put here to bear fruit, and we've been given a certain amount of time to do that. There's a door closing on the other end of this life. I've shared before the vision my wife had about being on a treadmill. The door ahead was closing. We had to run faster and faster to get through the door before it closed. The treadmill was imperceptibly picking up speed going in the opposite direction, and we had to run faster and faster. That's the way the world is; it's picking up speed in the opposite direction, and the door is closing. We're running a race but it's not a race against one another; this is a race against time. There's a door closing. You have to bear fruit or else you'll be called what Scripture and Jesus called an “unprofitable servant,” cast forth into outer darkness (Matthew 25:30). There's no such thing as bearing fruit without the cross. I'm going to point out just a few of Jesus' commands and show you that when you obey them, they put you in a position of weakness. You cannot defend yourself. You cannot hit back. You won't be able to do the things that your flesh wants because, if you do, your flesh will live and it will get stronger. (Rom.8:13) For if ye live after the flesh (in other words, if you walk in obedience to the flesh), ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. We want the new man to live and there's only one way that can happen – the old man has to die. They live in the same house. The spiritual man was supposed to go into the Promised Land and kill the old man and live in his house, and we are, in one parallel, that promised land. That spiritual man is Christ in us and He's the spiritual man in every one of us, Who seeks to take over our vessel. (1Pe.2:18) Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. (19) For this is acceptable (the literal translation is actually “grace”), For this is grace, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. Grace? That's right. God sends us through grace down here on this earth. Sometimes we don't look on it as grace, but it's fleshly suffering. He calls it grace. That's the original word there. We have to go through suffering. (Act.14:22) … Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. We must go through suffering because the flesh doesn't die without suffering. If you're not suffering, then you're not ceasing from sin. Peter said, He that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin (1Pe.4:1). That's because when you're suffering, when the flesh is suffering – and I'm talking about that entity of the old man in you, the mind of the flesh in you – when that old man is suffering, it means that he's not getting his way and he's dying. This is not about the physical flesh suffering, you understand. I'm talking about that entity that lives in you that wants to gratify “self.” If the old man is not suffering, you're not bearing the cross; you're not obeying the commands of Jesus to lose your life. So Peter called it “grace” here. (1Pe.2:20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it,] ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it,] ye shall take it patiently, this is grace with God. The last thing we want is to do right and to have wrong done to us in return. We want justice and our rights. The flesh demands its rights, but the flesh is a dead man. We reckon the old man to be dead unto sin (Romans 6:11) and dead men don't demand rights. You can slap the dead man on one cheek and they'll turn the other one, too. That's the way Jesus commanded us. If you want that old man to die, then don't feed him. Just don't obey him and he'll die. This is grace with God. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called…. We were called to suffer in what the world would call “wrongfully.” In other words, we're called to suffer when we do right. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously. In other words, Jesus left judgment, wrath and payback in the hands of God. Peter said Jesus left this example to us so that we should follow in His steps. Every day we're going to have an opportunity to do this. There's just no way you could live this life without having an opportunity to deny our self life. Don't waste your time. Redeem the time (Ephesians 5:16), the Scripture says. This is what we're here for. Suffering is one of God's greatest methods to put to death your flesh so that Christ can live in you.  (1Pe.3:13) And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? (14) But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye:] and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; (15) but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear: (16) having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. (17) For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. (18) Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. We can see a spiritual type there in the life of Christ. When He resisted not the evil, He was put to death in the flesh, but He was made alive in the spirit. This is a spiritual type for us because, if we want to be made alive in the spirit, we must accept our death in the fleshly self-life daily.  (1Pe.4:14) If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye;] because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you. (15) For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters: but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name. (17) For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? (18) And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? (19) Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God (That doesn't fit the prosperity doctrine very well, does it?) commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator. Commit your soul unto a faithful Creator. Jesus obeyed His own command in Matthew 5:39 and He was crucified for it. I can imagine several places where He could have interjected just a little bit of truth and totally turned the situation around, such as when He talked about, “destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (Joh.2:19). Of course, he spake of the temple of his body (21), but that's not what was brought out at the trial by the Sanhedrin and I never saw Him even objecting to it, though He knew what He meant. He didn't bother to stick up for Himself. There's one person from the Old Testament who really impressed me with his understanding of not resisting him that is evil, and that's David. He obeyed this. I've seen probably a half-dozen to a dozen good examples of where David obeyed this doctrine. He seemed to be way ahead of his time in understanding what it was that pleased God. He seemed to be almost walking in New Testament revelation in some areas of this resisting not evil and it definitely bore fruit in his soul. (Psa.38:12) They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me,] And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long. (13) But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. (14) Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs. (15) For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God. David put his trust in God to bring about justice, just as the Lord did (1 Peter 2:23), and not with his own tongue, nor in his own strength. In fact, as we read on here, you'll see that David knew and understood God's purpose. You know, it's a fiery trial when you resist not the evil, no matter what form it is. There's a righteous indignation that rises up on the inside of you wanting justice, but listen, we can't afford justice. Nobody reading this can afford justice. We want mercy. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful (Psa.18:25). If you get justice, you're in trouble. Did you know that? God gives justice to some and He gives mercy to others (Romans 9:21-23). Christians get mercy. The world doesn't always get mercy. But I'll tell you what, the only thing we better show to the world is mercy because God's going to be merciful and forgiving to those who are merciful and forgiving. And to those who are not merciful, He's going to give justice (Matthew 18:35). None of us here can afford the justice of God. Not everybody even gets a revelation of God in this world, but they get justice because every man is going to reap what he sows (Galatians 6:7). People ask, “What do you do with the wicked who never hear the name of Christ?” No problem. They're going to get justice. Everybody in this world is going to at least get justice, but Christians, at least true Christians, are going to get mercy and grace from Him.  God's not doing wrong by doing that because He's at the very least giving justice to people. But we had better pray that we don't get justice because that means we'll pay for what we've done and what we are doing that is wrong. David understood this, and Jesus understood this. So David says, “for I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.” (Psa.38:16) (17) For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. (18) For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. (19) But mine enemies are lively, [and] are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. (20) They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good. (21) Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me. (22) Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. (39:1) I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me. (2) I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred. (3) My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; [Then] spake I with my tongue: (4) Lord, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me to know how frail I am. You know, when David resisted not the evil, when he kept his mouth shut when he was really being pressured to speak up, he said the fire burned in him. Have you ever felt that fire? I have. It's just like a real fire burning in you. It's a fiery trial that's come to prove you and to burn up the wood, hay and stubble of the self-life. You know, we've been told by some church ministers that the fiery trial is in the next life, but that's as big a lie as has ever been told. (1Co.3:12) But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; (13) each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is. It's here that you go through the fiery trial to burn up the wood, hay and stubble, not in the next life. The Bible says, “the day shall declare it.” There are no days in eternity. This is where the fiery trial comes. But you can avoid the fiery trial very easily. All you have to do is not obey the commands of Jesus. If you don't obey Him, it's easy to avoid those kinds of trials, and quite often we'll go around them, but what we're doing is putting off the day of crucifixion and the day of bearing fruit. God wants to motivate us with many, many Scriptures that today is the day of salvation. Today is God's day of deliverance (2 Corinthians 6:2). I found many places where David understood this. One of them is when Nabal's herds had been protected by David and his men out in the wilderness (1 Samuel 25:16). By the way, Nabal means “fool.” And David's men were sent to Nabal to get some supplies for his men, who were living in the wilderness, and Nabal answered them very roughly and sent them back without any help (1 Samuel 25:10,11,14). So David had decided, “I'll just go over there and take his head off” (1 Samuel 25:22). Meanwhile, Nabal's wife, who was a very understanding and wise woman, decided she was going to go meet David and ask his forgiveness, and she did (1 Samuel 25:24). And one thing she said is, “Thank God that the Lord has withheld you from avenging yourself at your own hand” (1 Samuel 25:26,31). She said that twice. Then David thanked her for her part in bringing that to pass (1 Samuel 25:32,33). You know, there's something wrong about us avenging ourselves with our own hand. (Rom.12:19) Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God:] for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. He said, if you do this, “thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head” (20). In other words, it's God's job to repay. If we repay, then God has to whip us because we've been commanded over and over not to repay. If we do it, He's going to whip us, but He doesn't have to whip them.  I'll give you an example. If you have two kids and you tell them, “Now, look, don't you hit back. If so-and-so does something to you, you come and tell me; I'll take care of it. If one of them hits back, then the other one has al­ready gotten his punishment. In that case, why should I hit him again? I'm going to have to hit you since you're the one who needs the whipping because you disobeyed me.” Here's the point. This is the way God does things. If He tells us. “Don't do it,” there's a purpose in it. (Eph.6:12) For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. What we war against must be done in the spirit; it must be done with authority of Christ and through the power of faith. It can't be done in the flesh.  Let me show you a really good example of this from David. (2Sa.16:5) And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and cursed still as he came. (6) And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. (7) And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow: (8) the Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned … Well, I don't know if Shimei knew it or not, but David had opportunity about three times to kill Saul. It was in his hand to do it, and he wouldn't do it. He would resist the evil. He wouldn't repay. He left that to the Lord, and the Lord took care of that. The Lord used the Philistines to take Saul and his whole family out (1 Samuel 31:6), but He didn't have to blame David for it. David even had to dodge some of Saul's spears and his evil spirits (1 Samuel 18:11, 19:10). Shimei went on with his slander… And the Lord hath delivered the kingdom unto the hand of Absalom thy son; and, behold, thou art [taken] in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood. (2Sa.16:9) Then said Abishai the son of Zeruah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse the lord my king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head. (10) And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Because he curseth, and because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David … Do you see that? “The Lord hath said unto him, ‘Curse David.'” David wasn't wrong here. The Lord works all things after the counsel of His Own Will (Ephesians 1:11). He sends wicked people to us to crucify our flesh. It's His purpose to do that, just as He sent and used the hand of wicked men to crucify the Lord. (Act.2:23) Him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay. God used these vessels of dishonor. He used the people of Israel and He used the wicked Roman Empire to crucify the Lord, as the Scripture says. It's the same with us. He put us here in the midst of a bunch of wolves. Jesus said, “I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves” (Luk.10:3). We have been put here for crucifixion, and the world is designed to crucify us. If you don't understand that, you don't understand the sovereignty of God. God designed this world to crucify us. Jesus was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). Stop and think. “The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Before Adam fell, God designed a Savior. Do you think we're in Plan B? Nope. We're in Plan A. There never has been a Plan B because God is Sovereign. He designed this world to manifest sons, and to manifest sons, you have to have a fallen nature to begin with. There have to be people who don't deserve God's goodness. That's where you have to start out because God wasn't creating angels. If He was creating angels, He wouldn't have had to make man at all. God didn't want angels. He wanted somebody who was fallen and so they could gratefully realize they picked up by the grace of God. You remember what Jesus said to one of the Pharisees? (Luk.7:40) And Jesus, answering, said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on. (41) A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty. (42) When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most? (43) Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. (47) Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little. In other words, “Who is forgiven much, loveth much.” See, we're going to know how to love God because we don't deserve anything. We have fallen and have been picked up by grace, not by our works, but by grace or unmerited favor. We don't deserve anything. We deserve justice, but pray you don't get that because God's grace is far above justice. His mercy is far above justice. That's why we have to give grace to other people. Don't give them what they deserve; you may get what you deserve. (Mat.7:2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. If you give somebody justice, you'll receive it back. Give them mercy. Give them grace. God will judge them. God may even judge them out of your mouth, but understand that it won't be with your flesh. The prophets spoke judgments. In the Book of Revelation, prophets speak judgment in (Revelation 11:6). I'm convinced that everything that happens in the Book of Revelation comes out of the mouth of God's children. Many of the curses today that are coming upon this world are coming out of the mouth of God's children. In fact, I'm convinced that all of them do. God is bringing judgment, and He's doing it through His people but it won't be personal retaliation or unforgiveness. They're speaking judgment, but they're not doing it with the mouth of the flesh. You know, we can't rise up against this government that God ordained according to Romans 13. If you do, God promises, “all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword” (Mat.26:52). But ultimately God's Kingdom is coming. The saints are going to possess the Kingdom, and they're going to take it from the Beast. They will do this by using the Sword of the Spirit and it will be happening in the spirit realm. They won't be doing it in the flesh. The flesh must be crucified. Works of the flesh must cease. You must desist. You must resist not him who is evil. In the spirit realm, we can do many mighty things. God has planned it that way so that your spirit man will be strong, but your flesh will be weak. That's the way God's salvation, God's deliverance, and every need is going to come. David understood that the Lord had commanded this, and we need to understand this, too. All we have to do is read Job to see that circumstances are the same today as they were back then. (Job2:10) … What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?…. And you know what? Job repented after God answered him in chapters 38-40. He repented of his self-righteousness. He repented (Job 42:1-6) and God gave him back what he'd lost (Job 42:10). But God used crucifixion in Job's life. Job wasn't physically doing wrong things; he wasn't in outward immoral disobedience. His problem was self-righteousness. God brought all this against him to bring him to repentance. David was also put in a position of crucifixion by God. God sent this enemy against him and David understood that. I think very few people in the Old Testament had wisdom like David concerning this. And he said, (2Sa.16:10) And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Because he curseth, and because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David; who then shall say, Wherefore hast thou done so? (11) And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more [may] this Benjamite now [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath bidden him. “The Lord hath bidden him.” Think about that the next time people come against you and want to put you on the cross, and you keep wanting to climb down. We do want to climb down off that cross, but you can't drive the nails. God has designed the wicked to put the cross in the ground and drive the nails. That's their calling in this world.  God has vessels of honor and vessels of dishonor. He has vessels of grace and vessels of wrath. They're all doing His Will, one way or the other. All things serve the Lord, and He works all things after the counsel of His Own Will (Ephesians 1:11). If you understand this, you can walk in grace and peace in this world, no matter what comes against you, because God put you there for a purpose. He put you there to be crucified and so that you would learn to use the weapons of your warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4). You know, sometimes the Lord sends the devil against you just so you can defeat him. He'll send the enemy against you, but He doesn't want you to go against him by wrestling with flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). Remember that the Bible says, “resist not him that is evil” (Mat.5:39). On the other hand, it says, “resist the devil” (Jas.4:7). “Resist not him that is evil” is talking about man. We don't wrestle with flesh and blood. When they wrestled with flesh and blood in the Old Testament, that was a type and shadow of them wrestling with principalities and powers. Go back over there and read the names of those kings and the names of those tribes that were conquered, and study in the Hebrew what those names mean. You're going to find out they're all the lusts of the flesh and demon spirits. That's who the Israelites were spiritually wrestling with and everything that happened to them was a type and a shadow for us. (1Co.10:11) Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. So go back to the Old Testament and look at it carefully. You'll see what they wrestled with.  Today we think we're supposed to carry on an Old Testament-type warfare in the way we war with people, but you can't grow if you do that. God will chasten you if you do that because you're rebelling against His Word. And David said of his accuser, “the Lord hath bidden him” (2Sa.16:11). (12) It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me, and that the Lord will requite me good for [his] cursing of me this day. David is saying that the Lord will pay him back good for his resisting not evil. If the Lord's going to bless you for it, go ahead and let them curse. Didn't Jesus say you'd be blessed when men would curse you? Absolutely (Matthew 5:11). Didn't He say the spirit of grace and the Spirit of God would rest upon you? Have you ever experienced that? I have. When I first learned of this doctrine, the Lord put me in situations where I did, by His grace, turn the other cheek, and I felt the power of God on me for going through that. It's just a great anointing that comes upon you when you obey God in the place where you want to defend yourself, and you refuse to do it. Instead, you leave it in the hands of God, and you won't defend yourself.  If you do defend ‘self', then the old man will live; he'll climb down off that cross. Even though he's crucified, he's not totally dead yet, so he can still climb down. It's true that we have to reckon him dead (Romans 6:11), but until he is dead, don't let him live; don't feed him. Do you know what fasting is a type of? Well, when you fast, you're not feeding the flesh. What happens when you don't feed it? It gets weak. What does that do? It makes the spiritual man strong. There's a reason for fasting and there's a spiritual type. The whole chapter of Isaiah 58 is talking about spiritual fasting, about denying yourself, so we see that they had a revelation of that in the Old Testament, too. (2Sa.16:13) So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill-side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. (14) And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there. Well, that wasn't the end of the story. David never did do anything to Shimei, but his son Solomon had him killed because he rebelled against his commands and left the city. It's hard to comprehend why Shimei was so against David. My guess is he was a low-life who just didn't want to understand the situation here. Anybody who was on Absalom's side and saw righteousness in Absalom and not in David, and saw righteousness in Saul and not in David, was in trouble. He was a sick son of the devil. Leaving our recompense in God's hands will do a work in you that nothing else will do because our old man would like to get the last word. And the last place you'll usually overcome in doing this is in your family. You can do it pretty well with the world and with the Christians around you, but one of the last places you're going to do it is with your family. The Scriptures teach this really well. The Lord says, “bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not” (Rom.12:14).(17) Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men. (18) If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. We're to be at peace with all men. I once had a rather strange thing happen to me when I was in that state between dreaming and waking up. I was faced with an enemy that had come against this country. I saw an invasion force, and I was in the midst of it, and I was saying things to them in this dream like, “You're not my enemy.” The world may have enemies, but the world is not our enemy. Did you know the world is not our enemy? He said, “I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men” (2Sa.7:14). See, the rod is not your enemy; the rod is God's method of creation. When what we call our “enemy” is finished doing their work, God's going to destroy them. They have a work to do that we have to cooperate with God in. They are the rod of God who comes against us, but they're not really our enemy. We are to resist not that evil because that evil is what crucifies this flesh, which is our true enemy; it's the enemy of our eternal life. So they're doing a work in us that nothing else could do, and we need them. And God says, “as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men” (Rom.12:18). (19) Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God]. “Give place unto the wrath.” That “of God” wasn't in the original. Just cross that out because it's not in there. It says, “give place unto the wrath: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord” (19). (20) But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. (21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Our method to bring the Gospel to people around us is to overcome evil with good. And Paul said, always leave the vengeance up to the Lord. Now I've heard for years that this ‘heaping coals of fire upon their head' was coals of conviction. Maybe so. But if you don't take vengeance, the Lord will, because He said to Israel, I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse (Gen.12:3). The Bible says we're the Israel of God. That verse is about you. It's not about a bunch of pagan Israelites who don't know God. No, it doesn't have anything to do with them. It has to do with the Israel of God. For as many as are of the faith of Abraham, these are the sons of Abraham (Romans 4:16). (Rom.2:28) For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh: (29) but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart…. God's going to bless those who bless you, but He's going to curse those who curse you.  (Psa.140:9) As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them. (10) Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise. So, this ‘burning coals upon the head;' could mean a lot more than just the convicting power. There are some people who will be totally convicted when you resist not their evil, and God can overcome evil in people who can be convicted because the power of God is drawing them. But there are some people who have no desire toward God. They're not being drawn of God, as a matter of fact. The Scripture doesn't say God draws everybody. (Joh.6:44) No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him…. It's just not in there. And this won't do anything for them, but the Bible does say God's judgment will fall upon them. If you resist not the evil, God's judgment will fall upon them, so those burning coals can mean the judgment of God. (Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God…. Did you know that there is no power but of God? If somebody has power over you, guess Who gave them that power? Jesus told Pilate, “thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above” (Joh.19:11). It's the same situation with us. God puts us in positions where physically we don't have the power; the enemy, the wicked, have the power. How many times have you ever seen a Christian government over a country? Daniel said that God gives the kingdom to whom He will and He sets up over it the basest of men (Daniel 4:17). Did you ever wonder why God does that? Did you ever wonder why, in the days of Jesus, there were the Neros and the Caesars, and since then the Hitlers and the Mussolinis? God does that because we need crucifixion. God is in the process of creating sons, and there has to be a crucifixion for sons. The people in power most often are the wicked. The Bible says in Romans 13 that when they're put in power, God puts them there. So it says, “let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God” (Rom.13:1). And that was written in the days of the Herods and the Caesars and the Neros! God put them in there and they crucified the Christians. They brought the Christians through trouble and all that was God's purpose. (Act.14:22) … Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he discusses The Bible and how the Word of God is a person which The Bible is an earthy view of. Today Father Koys opens with St Jerome whose feast day is today, before going into the nature of the Bible and how Catholics and Protestants differ in our approach to scripture. He further offers historical insight into this topic discussing a story of a mission of St Isaac Jouges in upstate New York and later compares the new Act of Contrition with the older form some may remember.

Director of Programming and Performance at the Folger Shakespeare Library, and Artistic Director of Folger Theatre, KAREN ANN DANIELS joins host Nathan Winkelstein for a deeply personal conversation about William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. They delve into the play's iconic “Kill Claudio” speech in Act 4, Scene 1, Daniels' own “gateway drug” to Shakespeare, and her enduring connection to his work. Daniels and Winkelstein explore Shakespeare's leading women, the ways they navigate — and push against — their societal roles, and the complicated realities of being a woman in the world. They discuss the friendship between Beatrice and Hero, the pressures of social status and relationships, and Daniels' playful approach to Shakespeare. Along the way, they consider how theater can expand our sense of what is possible—and why Daniels saw so much possibility in Beatrice.

This month we're joined by Ailsa Rutter, Director of Fresh and Balance, the northeast England programme tackling tobacco and alcohol harm. Ailsa shares the deeply personal story behind her career – including nursing her father through smoking-related COPD after he became addicted as a child – and reflects on the history of tobacco control, from the 1962 Royal College of Physicians report to today's Tobacco and Vapes Act.With the ‘smokefree generation' sales ban edging closer (anyone born after 1 January 2009 will never legally be sold tobacco), we discuss why regulation on tobacco has moved so much further than on alcohol, the risk that alcohol harm gets overshadowed as attention turns to the Act, and why the northeast's hard-hitting health campaigns remain a rarity the rest of England hasn't caught up with.“The big stark contrast between tobacco and alcohol is the absolute lack of national regulation, the lack of legislation there has been for alcohol.” This is a public episode.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening  The Tai-Ex opened up 135-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 47,767 on turnover of 10.4-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Tuesday as investors reacted to speculation (推測) that rising US Treasury yields (美國公債殖利率) and international crude oil prices could push America's central bank to hike interest rates as it seeks to battle inflation. Koo says America is showing "goodwill" over the late delivery of F-16Vs Defense Minister Wellington Koo says the United States is "showing goodwill (善意)" over the late delivery of F-16V Block 70 fighter jets and two sides are still in talks over the matter. The statement comes after the first two of the 66 F-16Vs Taiwan purchased departed from the U-S on August 17 and reportedly remain in Hawaii. According to Koo, the contract for the fighter jets did not include financial penalties (罰款) for late delivery - meaning Taiwan will not receive financial compensation (賠償). The Air Force spent 247.2-billion N-T between 2020 and 2026 to procure 66 new F-16V Block 70 jets from the U-S. The jets were originally scheduled to all be delivered to Taiwan by the end of this year. MOL to extend paid marriage leave to 14 days The Ministry of Labor will be extending paid marriage leave (有薪婚假) from eight to 14 days from tomorrow. According to the ministry's Department of Labor Standards and Equal Employment, the change was proposed through amendments to the Regulations of Leave-Taking of Workers and is has undergone a seven-day public notice period. The department says for the additional days - from the ninth to the 14th day employers are still required by law to pay wages (工資), and after making those payments, the employers can apply to the government for subsidies. The expanded leave will apply equally to Taiwanese and foreign nationals as long as they are covered by the Labor Standards Act. However, migrant domestic helpers and live-in caregivers are not be eligible because they are not covered by the Act. NKorea Rejects SKorean Findings on Mine Planting The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has rejected South Korean findings that North Korea likely planted the land mines (地雷) that injured three South Korean soldiers last week. She threatened to retaliate if the South fires at North Korean troops conducting border fortification work. The statement by Kim Yo Jong came after South Korea's military on Monday announced a preliminary assessment that the blasts were caused by North Korean mines following a joint inspection with the U.S.-led United Nations Command. South Korean Defense Minister told lawmakers Tuesday that North Korea's placement of the mines likely violated the armistice agreement (停戰協定) that ended fighting in the 1950-53 Korean War. DRC ebola cases surpass 8,000 The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed (超過) eight thousand for the first time, with nearly four thousand deaths recorded — almost half of them outside health facilities. Chris Ocamringa in Kinshasa says the Health Ministry's latest assessment shows the outbreak has reached seven provinces, with three of the worst-affected areas also engulfed by the war between M23 rebels (叛軍) and government forces.

Well, the Chlöe-for-Finance-Minister debate has gone up a level. She has been asked what her qualifications are. David Seymour is making fun of the idea, I think for good reason. And Chlöe herself has hit back, specifically at Nicola Willis, because there was a poll that showed a touch more people actually trust Chlöe on the economy than Nicola. Touché from Chlöe. But I'm of the view that Chlöe is actually overplaying her hand here. No disrespect to her because I personally like her a lot and I really rate her as a political campaigner. But she's 32 years old and she has no business background other than a few of those fun projects you run when you're 20 and then shut down again. I mean, literally, what are her qualifications for this job? The reason the Nats and ACT keep going on about this, now for the third day, is because they know, like I know, that this is bad for the centre-left and the prospects of a centre-left Government. There is polling data from Curia that I've seen a couple of times and it shows that National Party voters actually have a net positive opinion of the leaders of their coalition partners on the right, David and Winston. National Party voters do not really stress out at all about the prospect of giving jobs to Winston, giving jobs to David, and so on. But Labour Party voters are not the same. They do not feel the same way about their left-wing coalition partners. Their opinion of the leaders on the left is negative across the board. It is unsettling for Labour voters to think of the Greens having that much influence. Now, I can see what Chlöe is doing here. She's trying to gee up her base with the idea that if they get enough votes, they may gain some real power around the Cabinet table. She's also obviously starting the negotiations with Chippy from a very high position, so that whatever the consolation prize turns out to be, it's also significant and not just some Green-aligned portfolio like DoC. But she might well be doing both the Green Party and the broader left some damage here. They may not make it into Government if this is the kind of thing that people freak out about. She knows she's not going to get this portfolio, right? She hasn't got any leverage. Back when Winston got Treasurer, and really the only time Finance has gone to a coalition partner, he was negotiating with both sides. He was talking to both Helen Clark and Jim Bolger, so he could play them off against each other. Chlöe doesn't have that ability. She is bound to Labour. She is not going to get Finance. So I can see what she's doing and it's not all bad for the Greens. But it could be bad for the chances of the left because the thought of Chlöe as Finance Minister might just drive away some of those swing voters that Labour desperately needs.

What does it take to keep a constitutional republic strong for the next generation? In this episode, we discuss Michael Compton, author of Keeping the Republic: A Citizen's Guide for the Next 250 Years. Drawing from his grassroots work with Act for Missouri, Compton explores the idea that preserving America's constitutional republic requires more than elections and political leaders—it requires citizens who understand and practice self-government. The book examines constitutional structure, federalism, God-given rights, civic virtue, and the responsibilities citizens have between elections. It also provides practical guidance for becoming more engaged in government, including how to: • Evaluate legislation and public policy • Follow state and local government • Communicate effectively with elected officials • Organize with other citizens • Hold government leaders accountable regardless of political party • Move beyond simply consuming political news The book concludes with a 12-month Citizen Action Plan, designed to help ordinary Americans turn political frustration into informed, consistent, and sustainable civic involvement. Join us as we talk about Michael Compton's approach to keeping the republic through active citizenship and self-government.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missouri-liberty-report--4329356/support.

This episode hands you one less reason to wait.  

575. You're functioning. You're achieving. Nothing has gone dramatically wrong. And you wake up one morning and realize you genuinely can't remember the last time something felt worth doing. A lot of people describe this as a feeling of emptiness. This week Dr. Judy Ho unpacks existential depression — the kind with no obvious cause, rooted in the collision with life's biggest questions — what it is, why it hits the most thoughtful and high-achieving people hardest, and three ACT-based tools for moving toward meaning even when meaning feels absent.Have a mental health question?

CRNA locums pay has been on a steep curve, and curves correct. The internet says 1099 vs W2 CRNA conversion is 50%. Real conversions land at 20 to 25%. And some CRNAs are supervised all week, then trusted to run solo every weekend. Host Joe Rodriguez, CRNA and anesthesia group co-founder, answers your questions in the first About the Rest Office Hours. Locums and new grads. Joe breaks down the three curves that set locum rates (education, locums, and anesthesia group economics) and explains why falling rates don't mean fatter margins for groups. He also makes the case that new grads going straight into locums are entering the most dangerous years of their careers alone. 1099 vs W2 CRNA. The real conversion range, the tax factor everyone misses, and why most CRNAs who go 1099 never go back. Supervision when convenient. A listener asks why the care team model flips from ACT to independent on nights and weekends. Joe explains the two bets behind it. Hospital contracts. Joe covers what happens when contract volume comes in 20% short and the hospital shrugs, and who should control anesthesia contracts. He also walks through how anesthesia RFPs are actually won: on the denominator, by small margins. Plus: the $40K-per-CRNA misclassification trap, and why Joe's own group nearly failed in 2021. Takeaways: Locum rates move on a curve, and curves correct. When the correction comes, anesthesia groups don't keep the difference: revenue guarantees cap their margin, and a competitor underbids at renewal. New grads need two to three years of mentorship, and locum work doesn't provide it. A locum assignment is built to fill a gap on the schedule, not to develop the clinician filling it. 1099 vs W2 CRNA comes down to conversion, tax savings, and risk. Conversion ranges from 16 to 35%. The bigger advantage is tax treatment, conservatively about 10% more of every dollar kept. The risk is misclassification, which has cost groups about $40K per CRNA. Supervision that disappears on nights and weekends reflects convenience, not acuity. The model bets that no one will check and no one will put the contract at risk. Anesthesia RFPs are won on the denominator. Everyone models payer mix and volume; the winner understands service requirements and labor cost, and the margin between winning and losing is small. Every group needs a mission beyond money and an operating margin to protect it. A mission without margin nearly failed in 2021. Change is how the mission survives. _____________ Want more Dr. Joe Rodriguez?

In 1700 the Stuart Dynasty was out of heirs, save one, Princess Anne. Parliament studied the royal family tree to determine who was next in line. The problem was they were all catholic. The succession skipped over 41 closer relations until they got to the nearest living Protestant, Sophia, Electress of Hanover. The Act of Settlement of 1701 declared that all future British monarchs must be her descendant. She ended up dying before Anne and the throne went to her son, George I. But who were the 41 royals skipped over? French Princes, Italian Kings, A Queen of Spain and a couple of Holy Roman Empresses, let's meet the fascinating potential British Monarchs that never where. This succession uses the rules of male-preference primogeneture, the law of the land at the time. And only looks at dynasts who were alive in the year 1701.

Better sleep after 40 comes from building the right daily rhythms, not from trying harder at bedtime. Mollie McGlocklin, creator of Sleep Is a Skill, makes the case that sleep is a learnable skill, and that forcing it or chasing a perfect score on your tracker usually makes it worse. Mollie went through acute insomnia while traveling overseas and left doctor after doctor with sleeping pills and no real guidance. In this episode she explains what sleep latency and sleep efficiency tell you, why falling asleep the second your head hits the pillow can be a red flag, which tracker numbers you can trust (and why deep sleep and REM aren't among them), when a nap helps and when it hurts, what to do when good sleep habits aren't enough, and why sleep really begins in the morning.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Something feels different lately, like the pressure is rising and the stakes are getting clearer. We name that feeling for what it is: a spiritual battle that doesn't start “out there,” but in the human heart, where truth competes with addiction, comfort, fear, and compromise.We pull threads from Scripture, Catholic spirituality, and spiritual warfare to explain a simple but demanding vision of the human person: body and soul plus grace. When we say yes to Christ and actually ACT, grace becomes alive and changes us. That is why we keep coming back to ACTION: love is a verb, self-gift is the path to freedom, and the interior fight has to come before any public fight.From there we zoom out to the culture, using the prophetic witness of Saint John Paul II and Archbishop Fulton Sheen to diagnose what happens when a society forgets God. John Paul II's experience under Nazism and Communism shapes his insistence on human dignity, moral truth, and authentic freedom. Sheen's warnings about the spirit of the world, distraction, and a “cut flower civilization” land hard, and they lead to practical steps like the Claymore 10-minute morning ritual, prayer, sacrifice, the sacraments, and disciplined daily choices.The Battle is real and it starts in the heart of each and every one of us!

It is often said that intention is one thing, but execution is another. That observation is little comfort to students who study and prepare with the best intentions yet still fail to reach their goals. Amy and Mike invited test prep professional Bobby Nicholson to unpack the regrettably common question, "Why didn't my test score increase?" What are five things you will learn in this episode? When students say, "I know the material—I'm just a bad test taker," what is usually preventing them from scoring higher? Why isn't taking more practice tests enough, and what should students actually do with the questions they miss? What separates test preparation that feels productive from preparation that produces meaningful score increases? What is the most productive response when official scores don't match practice test scores? What should parents look for–and be skeptical of–when comparing test prep options? MEET OUR GUEST Bobby Nicholson is the founder of Outliers ACT Prep, a Knoxville-based education company helping students achieve measurable, life-changing score increases on the ACT. What began as one-on-one tutoring has grown into a multi-coach, team-based program used by students and schools across the region, known for its data-driven diagnostics, proprietary coaching app, and five-point composite score guarantee. Beyond test prep, Bobby is building a broader ecosystem around education, character development, and long-term human flourishing. He is a co-contributor of the FLOY project (Future Leaders of Yesterday), a multi-decade project to design a practical "life curriculum" that teaches young people how to think clearly, build strong relationships, contribute meaningfully to their communities, and pursue lives that are happy, free, and fit for the good of others. Bobby is an entrepreneur, systems-builder, and lifelong student of learning science, psychology, and philosophy, with a particular interest in how motivation, meaning, and skill-building intersect. When he's not working with students or building new education programs, he enjoys endurance training, cooking ambitious meals, reading widely, and designing new tools to help people grow.

For nearly fifty years, the Presidential Records Act has governed the preservation, ownership, and eventual disclosure of presidential records. But in April, the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel concluded that the Act is unconstitutional and that “the President need not further comply with its dictates.” OLC argued that the statute exceeds Congress’s powers and intrudes on the Executive's independence.That conclusion has now moved from the realm of executive-branch legal interpretation to active litigation. In May, U.S. District Judge John D. Bates concluded that the Presidential Records Act is likely constitutional and preliminarily ordered numerous Executive Branch offices and officials—though not the President and Vice President themselves—to comply with it. The government has appealed that ruling to the D.C. Circuit.What constitutional authority, if any, does Congress have to regulate the creation, preservation, ownership, and disclosure of presidential records? Join us as our panel examines this question, the ongoing litigation, and the broader implications for congressional power, executive privilege, and the separation of powers.

Today on Black Dragon Biker TV:Canberra / ACT. Chief Police Officer Scott Lee is publicly backing anti-consorting laws — the kind already used in most of Australia that let cops ban named people from associating. He says five outlaw motorcycle clubs are in the ACT now, about 45 members and 20 associates. Labor governments have blocked these laws as a clash with the Human Rights Act. Lee's pitch: disrupt public gatherings and national runs. Not a magic wand. Also on the table: colour/patch bans and warrantless firearm searches. That's a ban on meeting, not just a ticket.Kolkata / Salt Lake. Storm season dropped trees on riders and parked cars. One motorcyclist was hurt when a tree came down near Indira Bhavan; a parked car was smashed with it. Same pattern in AE Block and Lake Town. Weather, not a club beef — still a reminder that the road doesn't care about your cut.Dwarka Expressway, Delhi–Gurugram. Dashcam: a Mahindra Thar Roxx (plate circulating as HR16AG5200) weaves, squeezes a gap between a car and a bike after 8 p.m. Saturday, knocks rider and pillion down, and leaves. Both on the bike had helmets; injuries reported as minor. Police collecting details. Hit-and-run in a cage is still hit-and-run.Greece. In one week police stopped about 20,000 two-wheel and scooter riders and wrote nearly 2,200 helmet tickets — just under 2,000 drivers and 167 passengers.

Rodney Hide entered Parliament as a list member of the ACT Party in 1996. He became ACT Leader in 2004, and following the 2008 election he was appointed Minister for three portfolios; Local Government, Regulatory Reform and Associate Minister of Commerce. His degrees in science and economics lent credibility to his commentary in other fields like climate change. It has been interesting following his philosophical journey since leaving parliament in 2011. And ...for the first time we talked for two full hours. As a result we have split the wide ranging discussion into two podcasts… part two next week. And we finish up in The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
