Falcon 9 Full Thrust: Densification and Barge Landings. Eric Berger describes how, following a 2015 failure, SpaceX developed the Falcon 9 Full Thrust, version 3.0/4.0. Driven by the Mars vision, they adopted densification—chilling liquid oxygen to boost density and increase payload efficiency by 10 to 12 percent. Crucially, they focused on landing the booster vertically on a moving barge, skipping steps in the reusability process. This challenge required redesigned Merlin engines and advanced avionics, leading to several learning failures as they tried to figure out how best to line up the rocket with the ship. Guest: Eric Berger.

November is National Adoption Month, and we're taking some time to talk about the real, everyday side of adoption, from one adoptive mom to another. We're sitting down as two adoptive mamas, one a little more seasoned, one still new to the journey, to talk honestly about what life looks like after adoption. Because let's be real… once the paperwork is done, everyone tends to assume everything's smooth sailing. But adoption day isn't the finish line, it's just another chapter in a story that keeps unfolding. We're sharing some of the things we've learned along the way, the challenges that don't always get talked about, and practical ways to find the support you need. We also get into mental health, post-adoption depression, and the importance of finding a community that truly understands. If you're in that post-adoption season, or walking alongside someone who is, this episode is for you. Episode Highlights:  Post Adoption Resources  How Hope Bridge Supports Adoptive Families Support Groups Post Adoption Depression   Find More on Hope Bridge/Links Mentioned in this Episode: Episode with Lisa Qualls on Blocked Care Get Coffee with Mel! Email Mel at melanie@hopebridgeohio.org OhioKAN Website Find a Support Group  Akron's Childrens Adoptive Health Services OhioRISE Program OCWTP Free Educational Trainings Ohio Education Training Voucher FAFSA Financial Aid for Adopted and Foster Care Students College Adoption Grant  PASSS Funding Ohio Adoption Grant Program Ohio Adoption Tax Credit   Visit Our Website  Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook  Foster Our Community Instagram

Dan Schaefer didn't know it at the time, but the idea for his startup company began to take shape on the day he and his wife adopted a dog. A 10-week-old Labrador retriever named Louie to be exact. Louie was in bad shape, so Dan and his wife turned to specialty pet nutrition to improve his health. And Dan found a great startup idea. In 2017, Dan and his childhood friend Pat Barron co-founded Native Pet, a St. Louis maker of all natural supplements and treats for dogs and cats.Midwest Moxie's executive producer is Audrey Nowakowski.

Christianity is often perceived as being enslaved to rules. What if it was the opposite and the greatest freedom we could ever experience?

It's decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don't. After accepting Yeshua as the Messiah (Jesus as the Christ) and becoming an adopted child of God, then what? This message addresses what the first century gentiles had to do to change how they were living and become children of God. I then parallel that to today, which is shockingly similar. This message proves that the rituals in mainstream Christianity, the things believers are required to do to be considered believers, are actually from paganism and the same exact religions Paul and the other apostles were sent into the world to counter. It's decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don't. For more messages like this, please visit https://firstcenturychristianity.net/

Episode 2.56Before the world began, the Father had already decided to make us His own.In this week's episode, Zach and Michael trace the doctrine of adoption back to its eternal source—God's loving plan “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:3–6). Adoption is not a divine backup plan but the very heartbeat of redemption.The discussion unpacks how the Father chose, predestined, and purposed our adoption in love through Christ—joyfully, not reluctantly. His design was always to create a family of sons and daughters who reflect His holiness and live “to the praise of His glorious grace.”Listeners are invited to:– Rest in the Father's plan — chosen before creation.– Rejoice in His love — wanted, not pitied.– Rely on His faithfulness — secure in His will.– Respond in worship — praising the grace that made us His.The episode closes by contrasting earthly adoption—beautiful but uncertain—with divine adoption—undeserved yet guaranteed. “The fix is in,” the hosts say: before time began, the Father had already written the ending. Through Christ, we are not merely accepted—we are wanted, chosen, and eternally loved.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/v0_82mCwC8cMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Noah Mithrush, Director of Growth Marketing at Guusto, joins us live from the UKG Aspire Conference to unpack the critical intersection of User Experience (UX) and Employee Experience (EX) in HR technology. Noah explains why so many HR programs fail to gain adoption and how even the best intentions can be derailed by a poor user experience. We discuss how to get into the user's mindset, why HR tech should be as easy to use a consumer app, and how making the emotional journey of an employee is the key to success.  [0:00] Introduction Welcome, Noah! Today's Topic: Rethinking User Experience to Improve Employee Experience & Program Adoption [3:53] What do people get right and wrong about user experience? Why good intentions often fail, and the common mistake of not considering all technology touchpoint for the end-user The problem of designing programs that are manually intensive for managers [10:43] How do you get into the users' mindset to align UX and EX? Going beyond just mapping process steps to mapping the employee journey Why implementing "emotional IQ" into the design process is critical for driving program adoption [16:59] How does AI impact the employee experience? Using agentic processes to allow teams to do more with less The potential for AI to allow teams to "think differently" and fundamentally redesign the employee journey [22:28] Closing Thanks for listening! Quick Quote “What I see a lot of the time is what people get right is their intention. At the very beginning, they're trying to solve a problem . . . but when it comes to tech and the user experience, [they're] not taking into consideration all of the points along the way of different technology [and] how the actual end-user (or employee) has to use and interact with it.”

A Clare TD claims the inclusion of his suggestion on wastewater treatment plants in newly-drafted Government housing policy is proof backbenchers can make a difference. Minister James Browne has instructed Uisce Éireann to progress the use of modular units that can be used for new housing developments or fixed to existing plants to expedite delivery. It follows Bodyke Fine Gael Deputy Joe Cooney's proposal in June of this year that plants be constructed off-site as an interim solution to delays in unsewered settlements. Speaking in the Oireachtas Housing Committee, he says it's a "major boost for rural areas".

November 2, 2025We centered on God's incomparable nature, redemption through Christ's blood, and the believer's complete sufficiency in Him. Through worship, teaching, and fellowship, the group reflected on how divine love frees believers from comparison, fear, and division—revealing one body united under one Head, Christ.ThemesWorship and Thanksgiving — The meeting opened with songs of gratitude, lifting praise to the Lord for His resurrection and daily mercy.The Reality of Redemption — Judy shared that redemption means being purchased out of sin's marketplace, never to return. Christ paid the full price with His blood, setting believers permanently free.Adopted and Chosen — Discussion of Ephesians 1 emphasized being chosen before the foundation of the world—holy and blameless in His sight. Adoption into sonship was described as God's pleasure and will, rooted in grace and not human striving.The Mystery Revealed — God's plan was portrayed as a mystery now made known in Christ: believers are united in Him, destined for the praise of His glory.Christ's Sufficiency — Edward shared that Christ Himself is each believer's personal and total sufficiency. His love removes comparison, blame, and self-effort, inviting rest and dependence.One Body, One Church — The group discussed the Corinthian letters, noting how Paul addressed division and “party spirits.” They emphasized that the Church is one body under one Head—Christ—and not divided by denomination or comparison.Love That Waits — God's love was described as patient and non-forcing, waiting to be gracious. Like the father of the prodigal son, He anticipates our return without condemnation.Spiritual Growth and Dependence — Paul's example showed that even correction flows from love, not anger. Growth happens through resting in Christ's finished work, not through striving or self-righteousness.The Mind of Christ — The session closed with reflection on resting in one's position in Christ rather than striving to “become” spiritual. True balance comes from depending on God's love, which removes competition and judgment within the Body.What We LearnedWe have been bought out of sin's power and belong fully to Christ.Our identity as holy and blameless exists in His sight, not by self-effort.Christ's sufficiency ends all comparison, pride, and performance.The Church is one body; division and party zeal oppose love's unity.God's love corrects gently, without violating free will or removing His gaze.True growth happens by resting, receiving, and reflecting His love toward others.Even when others misunderstand or reject us, love remains the answer.Dependence on Christ protects the believer from reacting in the flesh.Reflection QuestionWhere do we still rely on our own sufficiency, and how can we let Christ's love become the only measure of our identity and unity?

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon kicks off our journey through the book of Ephesians, reminding us that the life we have in Christ is one of incredible blessing, identity, and purpose. Through the story of Hetty Green, a woman who lived in poverty despite her great wealth, we're challenged to stop living spiritually empty when we've already been given everything through Jesus. Paul's letter to the Ephesians shows us what it means to be chosen, redeemed, and adopted as God's sons and daughters.
