Amn means peace—a soft hush after the storm, a breath that finally lands, a silence that doesn't weigh heavy but heals. It is the stillness between heartbeats, the warmth in a world often too cold. Amn doesn't demand attention; it settles gently, quietly shifting the shape of things. It is both a personal refuge and a collective longing—a space where conflict ceases and compassion begins. In a world carved by noise and unrest, amn becomes the poetry of presence, of healing, of hope. In this episode of Urdunama, we trace the essence of amn through the verses of poets who've written about peace—not just as absence of war, but as presence of understanding, softness, and unity. Join us as we listen closely to the language of calm, and the dreams it dares to hold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Incrivelmente, já se passaram três anos desde que a brilhante 1ª temporada de Ruptura nos deixou em suspensão pensando no que teria acontecido após a revolta dos innies da Lumon. Chegando agora no início de 2025 para ajudar a consolidar a Apple TV+ no panteão dos grandes streamings, a 2ª temporada da série criada por Dan Erickson e dirigida, principalmente, por Ben Stiller, dá maior desenvolvimento aos seus principais temas, além de resolver alguns importantes mistérios. Descolando-se um pouco (mas só um pouco) das questões mais ligadas ao mundo do trabalho no capitalismo tardio, a nova leva de 10 episódios enfoca mais a dualidade existente entre innies e outies para levantar a pergunta: quem está verdadeiramente no comando?O RdMCast é produzido e apresentado por: Thiago Natário, Gabi Larocca e Gabriel Braga.Apoie o RdM e receba recompensas exclusivas: https://apoia.se/rdmCITADOS NO PROGRAMA:Ruptura (2022 – )Citações off topic:Welcome to Lumon (2021)The Stanley Parable (jogo, 2013)Amnésia (2000)Fragmentado (2016)Cama de Gato (livro, 1963)EPISÓDIOS CITADOS:RdMCast #352 – Ruptura: humanos do capitalismo tardioRdMCast #377 – Ascensão, queda e redenção de M.

Jurandir Filho, Thiago Siqueira e Rogério Montanare recomendam 30 filmes e séries do gênero suspense policial, também conhecido como thriller. O tema é muito popular no cinema e streaming, focando em narrativas envolventes e cheias de tensão, nas quais o mistério e o perigo caminham lado a lado. Nesses enredos, a trama geralmente gira em torno de investigações complexas conduzidas por detetives que buscam capturar assassinos, muitas vezes serial killers. O ponto central dessas histórias é a investigação criminal, onde o detetive - seja ele um policial experiente, um investigador particular ou até mesmo um personagem fora do círculo tradicional da justiça - tenta desvendar os segredos por trás dos crimes brutais. A narrativa geralmente acompanha a busca pelo assassino, muitas vezes trazendo dilemas morais, enigmas psicológicos e a pressão constante do tempo. Os detetives precisam, com frequência, enfrentar seus próprios demônios enquanto lutam contra a inteligência e a crueldade do assassino. O sucesso do suspense policial está na construção da tensão, no mistério que se desenrola aos poucos, e nos momentos de revelação surpreendente, onde as pistas se encaixam de forma inesperada. O espectador é levado a um verdadeiro quebra-cabeça, onde cada peça descoberta pode mudar completamente o curso da investigação.

*This month in partnership with ⁠⁠ALD Connect⁠⁠* Our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition each month with the goal to increase awareness of X-linked conditions and how they impact the lives of women and girls. This month, we are featuring adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). ALD is a X-linked genetic disorder characterized by the deterioration of myelin, a fatty substance that serves to insulate the nerves of the brain and spinal cord. In individuals with ALD, this loss of myelin, also known as demyelination, occurs due to an issue with the gene ABCD1. Under normal conditions, this gene produces a protein essential for breaking down a class of fatty acids known as very long-chain fatty acids, or VLCFAs. When ABCD1 malfunctions, however, VLCFAs build up in the body, creating inflammation that causes myelin to deteriorate. Females with ALD have been known to present symptoms similar to males with AMN, with the exception being that these symptoms tend to manifest later in life. Rarely do females develop the cerebral version of the disease or adrenal insufficiency. The following symptoms have been documented in females with ALD: Bowel and bladder dysfunction Tingling in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy) Excessive muscle tone Sexual dysfunction Poor bowel and bladder control Abnormal muscle reflexes Gait disorders Walking and balance issues Today we are chatting with Dr. Florian Eichler. Dr. Eicher is an Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. His research focus is on the genetics of peroxisomal disorders, lipid metabolism, and spatial aspects of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. As director of the leukodystrophy clinic at the Massachusetts General Hospital he sees patients with a variety of white matter disorders. He currently holds several NIH awards funding studies to analyze metabolic changes seen in the brain by MR measures and to determine the neurotoxicity of newly discovered atypical sphingolipids. Carrier Connections is sponsored by Kyowa Kirin and Amgen. For more information about our organization, check out ⁠⁠⁠rememberthegirls.org⁠⁠⁠.

Top Food and Healthcare stocks. And more… Includes a 100-company ranking of companies producing the most favorable human life impacts. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 136, August 23, 2024 Hello, Ron Robins here. It's good to be back after my summer break! So, welcome to this podcast episode 136 titled “Top Food and Healthcare stocks. And more…” Presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Now, remember that you can find a full transcript, and links to content – including stock symbols and bonus material – on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal to you any personal investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. Additionally, quotes about individual companies are brief. Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the articles for more company and stock information. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Plant-Based Food Stocks That Could Be Multibaggers in the Making: July Edition I'm starting with this article on food stocks as it's a segment that many of you are interested in. It's titled 3 Plant-Based Food Stocks That Could Be Multibaggers in the Making: July Edition. It's by Philippa Main and found on investorplace.com. Now some quotes from the article. “Investors have many reasons for investing in plant-based food stocks… But there are also a lot of ups and downs in the vegan-friendly and plant-based industries. Even one of the most recognizable names in the vegan meat industry, Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND), has been down consistently over the last five years, with very few times of sustained value. However, the overall sector's potential for growth remains robust… The plant-based food market value is currently at $46.7 billion and could expand to $96.6 billion by 2033. That's a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%... 1. Laird Superfood (NYSEAMERICAN:LSF) Specializes in providing plant-based coffee creamers, hydration supplements and other foods. The stock topped out at $57 in 2020 but has since dropped dramatically. It is now trading at around $4 a share. However, recent quarterly results prove that the company is back on the upswing…  The company's 22% net sales growth during the first quarter was among the top results for any company in the food industry. The company saw at least a 40% gross margin. While the company still operates at a net loss, its balance sheet remains strong with no debt. The company raised its outlook for net sales thanks to the positive Q1 results. Laird Superfood stock is affordable for investors looking to enter the vegan-friendly and plant-based food stocks segment. Laird Superfood has many potential growth opportunities on the horizon… It recently received a $32 million influx of funding from WeWork. All this combined means investing now could see great returns in the long term. 2. SunOpta (NASDAQ:STKL) has been producing plant-based food and beverages for over 50 years. In the past three years, the company has committed over $200 million to expanding production capacity and reaching its goal of doubling its plant-based business by 2025. Across the several segments the company operates in, there is a $22 billion addressable market. The company's nutritional beverages sector saw the largest year-over-year (YOY) growth at 20%. The company also partners with other major names in the food retail industry. These include Costco (NASDAQ:COST), Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Target (NYSE:TGT). Partnering with big retail brands helps increase the exposure of its products and, in turn, generates higher sales volume. SunOpta stock has had its ups and downs over the past five years but currently has a 93% upside. 3. Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN) One of the most well-known chicken brands in the U.S. may not seem like a good pick for a list of plant-based food stocks. For investors who want to feel good about investing in companies working toward making more plant-based options but don't want to gamble on a company solely focused on that sector, Tyson Foods is a good way to diversify.  Though down substantially over the last five years, Tyson Foods stock has seen a rally of 10% in the last 12 months and 6.5% year-to-date (YTD). In the previous five years, Tyson has been increasing its plant-based offerings through its brand, Raised and Rooted, and has 10 plant-based products. These include plant-based patties, ground meat substitutes, sausages and nuggets. As inflation dampens demand for meat as prices soar, Tyson's presence in the plant-based industry will give it a head start compared to its competitors.  Though there have been some financial troubles for the company in the last year or so, things are starting to turn around.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The energy transition from fossil fuels will power these stocks - including Big Oil Now, this next article acknowledges the energy transition, however, some of the comments and companies suggested will not appeal to many ethical and sustainable investors. I wondered long and hard as to include this article or not. However, since the European Commission is likely to include natural gas in its preferred funding energy financing initiative, I ‘dared' to include it. The article is titled The energy transition from fossil fuels will power these stocks - including Big Oil. It's by Jakob Wilhelmus, provided by Dow Jones, and found on morningstar.com. Here are some quotes. “Modernizing the grid The International Energy Agency estimates that to power itself primarily with renewable energy, the world would need to add or replace nearly 50 million miles of transmission lines by 2040… For investors, that creates opportunity around the complementary infrastructure that is needed to build out the grid. Companies such as Eaton (ETN) that provide essential components - including inverters or substations for transmission lines - are well-positioned to take advantage of these ambitious goals. Their central role in the energy transition over coming years may not be fully appreciated today, but markets might soon catch up. Shifting to the greener end of fossil fuels Fossil fuels will certainly continue to be a component of the energy system of the future…  Indeed, global demand for liquified natural gas (LNG) is expected to grow by more than 50% by 2040 as the coal-to-gas transition expands in China and South Asia… For investors, it is critical to seek energy-sector companies that are forward-looking and are finding ways to remain energy providers regardless of what the primary energy sources might be. Two such companies are TotalEnergies (TTE) and Shell (SHEL), which are expanding natural-gas production and transport capabilities. Pipelines are another way to take advantage of the global shift to natural gas. Often these firms have long-term purchase agreements in place, providing investors with an attractive ‘toll collection' that provides a differentiated risk-return proposition in the natural-gas space: exposure to booming demand with less exposure to short-term price volatility. These characteristics and accompanying cash flows make major pipeline players including Enbridge (ENB) and Kinder Morgan (KMI) particularly interesting for debt investors. Getting smart on energy use Investors should also pay close attention to innovation around managing demand and using energy supplies more efficiently… This has created a two-way system, where customers actively manage their energy consumption through smart appliances or storage, while system operators have increased capabilities to manage electricity distribution and generation. This development might benefit companies, such as Schneider Electric (SBGSY), that provide smart sensors and devices all the way to the software that allows grid operators to optimize supply and demand… Global renewable capacity grew by 50% in 2023 and these sources offer some of the lowest cost of producing electricity today. But even this pace of growth in renewables may not be enough to account for the steep rise in energy demand.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 3 Best Healthcare Stocks to Buy in August 2024 Now, here's an article on another favorite sector, healthcare, and it's titled The 3 Best Healthcare Stocks to Buy in August 2024. It's by investorplace.com and was seen on markets.businessinsider.com. Here are some interesting quotes. “The healthcare industry has been a critical part of the economy for a long time. According to a McKinsey & Company report, the healthcare industry is expected to grow at 7% from 2022 to 2027. 1. Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY). The pharmaceutical powerhouse consistently ranks as one of the top companies on the market, and has several drugs that generate billions of dollars in revenue. Furthermore, Bristol-Myers Squibb has a number of drugs currently in clinical trials that could bring in huge success over the next decade. Among these is schizophrenia treatment Eliquis KarXT. The drug is expected to receive a recommendation from the FDA as early as next month. If it gets approved, it will be the first newly developed treatment for schizophrenia. That is a market that is estimated to grow to more than $7 billion in just four years. Right now, the stock is down over 10% this year alone and 20% year-over-year. Investors should buy while the stock is down.  2. AMN Healthcare Services (NYSE:AMN) is a medical care facilities company. It supplies healthcare workers, including nurses and industry professionals, on a temporary basis. It experienced huge success from high healthcare worker demand when there was a worker shortage. For those investors who are looking for high-risk, high-reward healthcare stocks, AMN should be on their radar. The company's recent earnings reports look very promising. In Q2 2024, AMN reported earnings per share (EPS) of 98 cents, beating analyst's estimates by almost 20 cents. This was the fourth consecutive quarter that AMN Healthcare Services beat the earnings estimate. Furthermore, AMN trades at 13.64 times forward price to earnings ratio, which is lower than the majority of its competitors in the market. Before it bounces back to its peak price from 2022, investors should buy the stock. 3. Rapport Therapeutics (NASDAQ:RAPP), a biotech company that is backed by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). The company went public on June 7th of this year, and it raised $154 million in initial public offering. The stock price ended up to over $20 on the first day it went public, and as of writing, it goes for $19.05. While there is still lots to learn about the company as it is new to the market, there are certainly things that will attract many investors.  Rapport Therapists is currently developing a focal epilepsy drug. The phase two trials should begin in the next few months, which means that there is going to be exciting news for the biotech startup for the upcoming years. This is especially exciting considering that in the U.S. alone, there are more than three million adult epilepsy patients, which means that it is a sizable market with room to explore.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 2024 Humankind 100 List This next article is a company ranking I watch every year as its methodology is fascinating. It's the Humankind 100 List and the 2024 edition has just been published. I found it on businesswire.com. Here are some quotes. “As the challenges of creating transparency around Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data and rankings become increasingly apparent, Humankind developed a holistic, quantitative way to calculate impact in terms of human benefit versus human suffering… This year, Alphabet (GOOGL)… scored highest in the ranking. The positive value of creating free digital tools for consumers outweighs the negative impact of factors like data harvesting in Humankind's analysis.

*This month in partnership with ⁠ALD Connect⁠* Our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition each month with the goal to increase awareness of X-linked conditions and how they impact the lives of women and girls. This month, we are featuring adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). ALD is a X-linked genetic disorder characterized by the deterioration of myelin, a fatty substance that serves to insulate the nerves of the brain and spinal cord. In individuals with ALD, this loss of myelin, also known as demyelination, occurs due to an issue with the gene ABCD1. Under normal conditions, this gene produces a protein essential for breaking down a class of fatty acids known as very long-chain fatty acids, or VLCFAs. When ABCD1 malfunctions, however, VLCFAs build up in the body, creating inflammation that causes myelin to deteriorate. Females with ALD have been known to present symptoms similar to males with AMN, with the exception being that these symptoms tend to manifest later in life. Rarely do females develop the cerebral version of the disease or adrenal insufficiency. The following symptoms have been documented in females with ALD: Bowel and bladder dysfunction Tingling in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy) Excessive muscle tone Sexual dysfunction Poor bowel and bladder control Abnormal muscle reflexes Gait disorders Walking and balance issues Today we are chatting with Riham. Riham, a 45-year-old Canadian mother of three wonderful boys—the eldest two are ALD heroes—has transitioned from a career as a civil engineer to a dedicated advocate for rare diseases. She enjoys planting flowers and is passionate about researching rare diseases. As a co-founder of "ALD Hope", Canada's first nonprofit organization for ALD, she assists individuals with rare diagnoses in both English and Arabic. If she spoke more languages, she would undoubtedly offer her support on a global scale. Carrier Connections is sponsored by Kyowa Kirin and Amgen.

Daar is Frankrijk! Het peloton komt vandaag aan in het land waar het allemaal om draait. We rijden van Bastogne naar Amnéville in ongeveer 150 kilometer. De leden van De Kopgroep zien gisteren hoe Puck Pieterse in een spannende fotofinish met Demi Vollering de vierde etappe van de Tour wint. Waar Pieterse tijdens de Olympische Spelen net naast het podium valt, staat ze gisteren op de hoogste trede.  Suzanne, Mart, Jip en Marijn blikken terug op deze eindsprint die volgde na een kletsnatte etappe.  De Kopgroep is er dagelijks tijdens de Tour de France Femmes.

Le projet de loi d'amnistie, initié par le président Macky Sall, est désormais sur les rails. Il doit être examiné ce mardi par une commission technique composée de 30 députés de la majorité et de l'opposition, avant un débat en plénière à l'Assemblée nationale demain mercredi.Cette amnistie concerne les auteurs de faits commis lors des manifestations politiques entre 2021 et 2024, qui ont fait des dizaines de morts et provoqué d'importantes dégradations matérielles, comme le saccage de l'université de Dakar.Une amnistie qui soulève donc bien des questions…Tout d'abord, « Ousmane Sonko va-t-il retrouver son éligibilité ? », s'interroge le site d'information Senego. L'opposant qui est derrière les barreaux depuis juillet dernier, a été condamné pour des propos diffamatoires, rappelle le site, à l'encontre du ministre Mame Mbaye Niang. Une condamnation qui entre dans le cadre de l'amnistie. Mais qu'en est-il d'une autre affaire ? Celle du salon de beauté Sweet Beauty pour laquelle, accusé de viol par une jeune femme de 20 ans, Adji Sarr, Ousmane Sonko a été condamné par contumace pour corruption de la jeunesse.En effet, pointe Jeune Afrique, « cette affaire privée ne relève pas du type d'infractions énumérées par le projet de loi et les viols allégués par la jeune femme auraient été commis, pour la plupart, avant la date du 1ᵉʳ février 2021 retenue comme point de départ de la période de deux années couverte par l'amnistie. »La colère des familles de victimes…Autre question soulevée par cette loi d'amnistie : quid des familles des victimes de la répression politique ?En effet, rappelle Jeune Afrique, « au sein de l'opposition et de la société civile, cette initiative gouvernementale est décriée dans la mesure où elle aurait notamment pour effet de garantir l'impunité aux membres des forces de défense et de sécurité, soupçonnés de s'être rendus coupables d'exactions contre de nombreux manifestants, dont plusieurs dizaines ont trouvé la mort entre mars 2021 et juillet 2023. »Ce serait donc « une insulte aux familles endeuillées », s'exclame le site Seneplus. En effet, précise-t-il, « alors que plus de 60 personnes ont perdu la vie lors de manifestations politiques depuis 2021, ce projet de loi d'amnistie générale risque de nier le droit à la justice des proches de victimes. » D'ailleurs, rapporte Seneplus, « l'ONG Amnesty international s'est élevée, hier, contre le projet, estimant que son adoption constituerait un affront aux familles des victimes et une prime troublante à l'impunité. »Amnésie collective ?Dans les colonnes de WalfQuotidien, le député Thierno Alassane Sall hausse le ton : « balles réelles, femmes brûlées vives à bord de bus, jeunes handicapés à vie, avenirs calcinés, université saccagée, biens publics et privés détruits. (…) Beaucoup de nos compatriotes porteront, à vie, les stigmates de ces événements, affirme Thierno Alassane Sall. Nous avons tous été directement ou indirectement meurtris. En ces jours de mars où le pays devrait être tenu en haleine par le second tour de la présidentielle, nous voilà face à une tentative d'occulter la vérité pour le bénéfice de quelques-uns. Qui est derrière cette loi ? À qui profite-t-elle vraiment ? Les victimes, les familles, le Sénégal méritent que la lumière soit faite. »L'ancien parlementaire Thierno Bocoum s'emporte également dans le quotidien 24 Heures : « Macky Sall veut nous imposer une amnésie collective, affirme-t-il. Il cherche ainsi à faire table rase sur les crimes ignobles et délits qui ont secoué ce pays durant toute la période visée. C'est un manque de respect notoire envers le peuple sénégalais. »Que va dire la CPI ?Et puis autre interrogation : quelle va être l'attitude de la CPI face à cette amnistie ? Interrogation posée par WalfQuotidien qui pointe que « la Cour pénale internationale, saisie des mêmes faits, risque de faire blocage à ce projet de loi d'amnistie, même adopté par l'Assemblée nationale sénégalaise. »Enfin, le quotidien Aujourd'hui à Ouagadougou conclut, fataliste : « immoler la justice sur l'autel de la paix, voilà ce qu'a choisi le Sénégal, c'est un choix cornéen, un dilemme, mais à la lumière de ce qu'on a vu en mars 2021, et récemment après le report de la présidentielle, l'immunité qui frise l'impunité pourrait être la solution bancale, mais la solution tout de même, pour que le Sénégal tienne son élection présidentielle ce 2 juin 2024 dans la paix. »

Serendipity led Jon Owens, national sales manager for Epicor, to find the automotive aftermarket. Jon started out in sales for Timken Roller Bearing in Canton, Ohio, and describes finding the aftermarket after graduating from college as being in the right place at the right time. However, it wasn't until he took over the NAPA Auto Parts account for Timken and started going to meetings, such as the AWDA Conference, where he truly recognized the power of volunteering for industry committees.“You're exposed to industry icons and you just can't beat that kind of exposure,” said Owens, who just began his two-year stint as president of the Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF), and arguably, has become an industry icon himself. “For me, it all began at AWDA. I was smitten with it and convinced that industry volunteerism benefited not only the industry, but also benefited me personally and whatever company I was going to represent.”Since then, the list of organizations and committees Owens has served on is too long to publish here. Yet in his time at various automotive aftermarket companies, he has always been sure to remain involved outside of his 9-to-5 and has learned many lessons in business and life from the aftermarket professionals he has volunteered with. In this episode of AMN Drivetime, sponsored by AISIN, Owens delves into those lessons as well as his career trajectory from Timken to Epicor and describes his vision for AACF.EPISODE OVERVIEW How Owens found the automotive aftermarket (0:58)His college football career and what he learned most from playing the sport at a high level (3:46)Owens's mentors in the automotive aftermarket (5:06)His involvement in the automotive aftermarket organizations and what makes our industry different when it comes to service outside of your day job (10:48)His biggest lessons from his involvement in aftermarket committees and organizations (16:32)Owens describes his vision for AACF as president for the next two years (22:45)How you can help with the AACF's mission today (29:54)

DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2023“SIGUIENDO LAS HUELLAS”Narrado por: Linda RumrillDesde: Gran Canaria, EspañaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church08 DE DICIEMBRE NO CAIGAS EN LA TRAMPANo te fijes en el vino. ¡Qué rojo se pone y cómo brilla en la copa! ¡Con qué suavidad se resbala! Pero al final es como una serpiente que muere y causa dolor» (Proverbios 23: 31-32).La insensatez del uso del alcohol es reiterada a lo largo de la Biblia, si bien muchas veces no se presenta de manera explícita, sí se destacan los efectos de beber alcohol respecto a las acciones absurdas que realizaron los protagonistas de los diferentes relatos. Así erró el hijo de Noé, las hijas de Lot; bajo el efecto del alcohol Belsasar ordenó traer los utensilios sagrados del templo y Absalón se valió de la embriaguez de Amnón para que sus siervos lo mataran, entre otros relatos. Así que el alcohol es el elemento fundamental para fomentar peleas, nublar el juicio, provocar accidentes; ocasiona que sus consumidores actúen de manera desinhibida, destruye la posibilidad de pensar sabiamente, así como de tomar decisiones acertadas.Lo cierto es que cualquier adicción se convierte en una barrera, pues limita la libertad, la creatividad y esclaviza a sus participantes. En el caso particular del alcohol, es el más popular entre las sustancias legalizadas y regularizadas. Asimismo, ya sea vino o cerveza, se anuncian como si la persona además de adquirir el producto, comprara prestigio, clase y ascendiera en el estrato social. Por otra parte, los sitios para beber los hay para cada edad, gusto y posición social. Respecto a los eventos sociales como fiestas de fin de año, graduaciones, bodas, aniversarios y en general, el alcohol en cualquier presentación resulta indispensable.Desde luego, los anunciantes nunca presentarán la otra cara de la moneda, por ejemplo: el alcohol es una droga y es uno de los principales actores de riesgo de discapacidad y muerte prematura. Su consumo provoca dependencia y cuando se bebe en exceso se asocia a más de doscientas enfermedades. es responsable de causar daños sociales, mentales y emocionales. Por su parte, la Secretaría de Salud del Gobierno de México informó que el cuarenta por ciento de los jóvenes de entre doce y diecisiete años ha consumido alcohol alguna vez en su vida. Lo que implica una mayor probabilidad de adicción. A causa de los estragos sociales, se eligió el 15 de noviembre como el «Día Nacional contra el Uso Nocivo de Bebidas Alcohólicas».Por todo esto, el apóstol Pablo presenta a las borracheras como una de los frutos de quienes siguen los malos deseos (Gálatas 5: 21).

In its 81 years in business, MANN+HUMMEL has prided itself on being family-owned, remaining steadfast to its mission: separating the useful from the harmful with its filtration products. Yet, over the years, its products have evolved as the company has innovated to meet the demands of its customers. About 25 years ago, the innovation and heritage of MANN+HUMMEL attracted its current president and CEO to the company and he hasn't looked back. Kurk Wilks joined the company in 1998 on the OE side of the business as a senior account manager. Then, he transitioned into sales and took on a global role managing the General Motors account. Over the years, he has held director roles in the areas of sales, engineering and operations on local, regional and global levels. Finally in December 2018, he was named president and general manager of the company's OE business."Then, in 2020 I was asked by our chairman to become the CEO. So it's unique. I'm the first American CEO of this German, family-owned business," he explained. "But I think with my 25 years of experience, the deep respect I have for our heritage of what it means to be family-owned and be technology driven, I'm able to take those assets with our people, our most important asset, and make something different for our customers to experience." Today, MANN+HUMMEL calls itself the leader in filtration, as it continues to invest in R&D, engineering, digitalization and advanced technology. "We use analytics tools, AI and other processes now to really bolt on and streamline how we run the business," he said. "But in the end, for me it's about reliability and trust that when customers use our product, it'll make their asset perform as desired and as needed." In this episode of AMN Drivetime, presented by AISIN, Wilks delves into: His first roles in the automotive aftermarket and what attracted him to MANN+HUMMEL (0:51)His career trajectory at the company (2:30)Experiences that have shaped his view on the business (4:18)How MANN+HUMMEL has benefitted from its expanded distribution strategy after opening a distribution center on the West Coast (8:16)The ways the company is innovating in filtration through digital solutions and the importance of its digital hubs (10:12)Additional opportunities for the company's growth (14:12)What he's seeing as the state of the automotive aftermarket with his role as vice chairman of MEMA (15:01)The Lightening Round ⚡ This episode is sponsored by AISIN.

When Mike Palm tells you he's a jack of all trades at CRP Industries, he's not lying. Just look at his resume. He started with the company in 1986 as a graduate of Shippensburg University, just outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He found a marketing assistant job at CRP through a newspaper ad. In the early days, he became involved in product development, digging into vehicles to look at parts that CRP could create. He also dipped his toe in cataloging, sales support and supplier development in CRP's early years. "I even learned how to drive a forklift," Palm says laughing, recalling the memories of his various roles at CRP.After 10 years of working his way up at the company, Palm asked himself, "What's next?" His marketing mastery led him to find a role at Berlitz, a global supplier of language instruction, cross-cultural training and other educational materials, as its director of worldwide marketing. There, he gained experience in consumer marketing, yet always kept in touch with his CRP colleagues. After a decade at Berlitz, Palm, as he describes it, was lured back to the aftermarket by Daniel Schlidge, president and CEO of CRP, who presented a future-looking vision to Mike and told him how he could play a role in developing it. Since 2005, Mike has been a staple at CRP working his way up to vice president of sales and marketing, leading the company's aftermarket product management efforts and ensuring that CRP remains a respected brand in the industry. In this episode of AMN Drivetime, presented by AISIN, find out how Mike and his team are doing that by getting close to the customer and looking ahead at innovations the company will need to produce down the line. In this episode, Mike shares:How he started at CRP Industries and his experiences working at the company in "the early days" (0:40)Why he decided to leave the automotive aftermarket and what brought back to CRP from this experience (4:26)Why he returned to CRP and why he "wakes up everyday enjoying what I do" (9:18)The way his role as vice president of sales and marketing has changed and how he deals with change management both at CRP and in the industry (12:22)How CRP's Innovation Council has spurred multiple product innovations for the company (15:09)The value that the Innovation Council has brought to CRP's supply chain (19:39)Big opportunities for CRP to serve the marketplace in the near future (24:13)The Lightening Round ⚡AMN Drivetime is sponsored by AISIN.

The early 2000s, spanning from 2000 to 2003, were a whirlwind of change and innovation for the video game industry. In 2000, a culmination of creativity met technology, with Sony's PlayStation taking center stage and the indie scene gaining prominence. Video games started gaining a foothold as a recognized art form, while Sega gracefully exited the console market to make way for new players. 2001 saw a surge in console wars with the debut of the GameCube and Xbox, while storytelling in games reached cinematic proportions. By 2002, the allure of sequels reigned supreme, with franchises opting for familiarity, and the end of an era for Rare as Microsoft acquired it. The year 2003 then marked significant mergers, with giants like Square and Enix joining forces and Valve launching Steam. Video games officially became a mainstream industry, drawing in significant investments and changing the face of game development. As the lines between art, entertainment, and business blurred, the early 2000s set the stage for the future of gaming.Featured Games:The Sims, Diablo II, Deus Ex, Thief II: The Metal Age, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Phantasy Star Online, Shenmue, Halo: Combat Evolved, Grand Theft Auto III, Oni, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Final Fantasy X, ICO, Onimusha: Warlords, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Metroid Prime, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Kingdom Hearts, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Call of Duty, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Freedom Fighters, and Viewtiful Joe. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (00:00) - Episode 6 (00:06) - 2000 (21:54) - 2001 (46:35) - 2002 (59:37) - 2003 Thanks to our monthly supporters FS Tabreez Siddique Mynx Mopman43 Ritsu William Kage Studio Devil Dallay_g Razu John H The Golden Bolt MykonosFan ErbBetaPatched Vornak Killer Space Serra Mr. Lindsay Autocharth History With Kayleigh Benjamin Steele Nick Makris minimme

No hay nada más triste para los padres que uno de sus hijos le deshonre al desobedecerle a ellos ya Dios. Absalón fue cauteloso y aumentó la paciencia: primero, esperó dos años para vengar la deshonra contra su hermana Tamar; posteriormente, esperó dos años más para sublevarse contra su padre. Fingió una reunión de naturaleza religiosa en Hebrón. Bajo ese pretexto se reunirá mucha gente, pero todo era una treta con la única intención de empezar una revuelta en Israel.Con una estrategia de decirle al pueblo lo que quería escuchar, además de tener por costumbre abrazar y besar a la gente, y decirles todo lo que él podía hacer por ellos si fuera el rey, «se ganó el corazón del pueblo». Aun así, justo antes de la «guerra civil», el rey David demostró su conducta conforme al corazón de Dios, pues instruyó a su ejército que trataran con nobleza a su hijo. A pesar de que Absalón ya había demostrado todo lo contrario: asesinó a su hermano Amnón; por sus intenciones de atacar Jerusalén, David tuvo que abandonar el trono junto a toda su gente de confianza; Absalón deshonró públicamente a diez esposas de su padre y por último, esperaba que su ejército asesinara a David. Por su parte, David que había experimentado la gracia de Dios, anhelaba que su hijo se arrepintiera.En realidad, las desgracias familiares que David enfrentó eran resultado de su desobediencia que mencionamos antier. El rey perdió al primer hijo de Betsabé a solo diez días de haber nacido; perdió a su primogénito Amnón; perdió a Absalón, y por último a Adonías que pretendió usurpar el trono.Cuando llegó el momento de la batalla, Dios decidió ponerle un punto final a la rebelión de Absalón al usar la rama de un árbol en donde este quedó atrapado mientras que la bestia que lo transportaba siguió su camino. Irónicamente, la razón de lo que más se jactaba Absalón que era su larga cabellera (14: 25-26), fue la causante de quedar atrapado.Cuando David se enteró de la muerte de su hijo le dolió como si este hubiera sido el más obediente. La actitud de David resalta la gracia y la misericordia de Dios para con todos. Por tu parte, honra a tus padres terrenales, así como a tu Padre celestial.

Todos podemos tener amigos, pero no todos los llamados «amigos» son verdaderos amigos. Un buen amigo te ayuda, te orienta, te acompaña en momentos difíciles, te anima a alcanzar tus metas; comparte contigo momentos alegres y tristes, y sobre todo, es leal. Alguien puede aparentar ser tu amigo, pero si te aconseja hacer lo malo, o si te facilita desobedecer a Dios al darte ideas para alejarte de la iglesia o de tu familia, no es un amigo de verdad. Jonadab se convirtió en un falso amigo para Amnón, pues le dio malas ideas acerca de cómo crear un plan lleno de mentira para engañar a su padre David (Amnón era el hijo mayor) y posteriormente abusar de su media hermana Tamar.Encontramos una actitud incoherente en Amnón, pues se empecinó en una relación improcedente con su media hermana; además, era tanto su capricho que llegó a «desmejorarse» o «enfermarse». Llegó a pensar que amaba en extremo a Tamar, pero en realidad estaba pensando y actuando irrazonablemente. Por lo cual, el sentimiento que experimentó después de abusar de Tamar se resume en el versículo 15: «Fue tal el odio que Amnón sintió después hacia ella, que terminó aborreciéndola más de lo que la había amado. Así que le seguramente: "Levántate y vete"». En realidad, Amnón le faltó el respeto a Tamar, solo la usó. Su sentir estaba muy lejos de ser genuino amor.Por último, Absalón guardó en su corazón la sed de venganza durante dos años. Entonces prepararon un banquete para todos los hijos del rey y seguramente a sus siervos que asesinaran a Amnón. Un elemento crucial para concretar el cruel acto fue el vino. Por lo tanto, justo cuando Amnón estuviera bajo los efectos del vino, sería el momento oportuno para asesinarlo. Así, Absalón procuró vengar la deshonra contra su hermana y quitar del camino a Amnón, pues pensó que era el candidato al trono con mayor probabilidad por ser el hijo mayor del rey. Desde entonces Absalón emprendió un plan para asumir el trono sin importar a quien tuviera que desplazar.En conclusión, no todo el que se dice amigo, es amigo; no todo lo que se piensa que es amor, es amor; no todo lo que se piensa que es alegría en una fiesta, es alegría. ¡Por tu parte: Decido sabiamente!

Absalón, hijo de David, tenía una hermana hermosa que se llamaba Tamar. Amnón, hijo de David, se enamoró de Tamar y la deseaba. Amnón confiesa su sufrir a su amigo Jonadab, quien le recomienda fingir enfermedad y pedir a Absalón que mande a su hermana Tamar para que cuide de él. Tamar acude con Amnón para atenderlo y Amnón la viola. Amnón, después de violar a Tamar, la repudia y la echa de su casa. Tamar vuelve con Absalón. Absalón espera paciente durante dos años para cobrar venganza. Absalón reúne a todos los hijos de David y ordena a sus hombres que tomen la vida de Amnón. Absalón huye...

Baldur's Gate is a series of role-playing video games set in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting. The game has spawned two series, known as the Bhaalspawn Saga and the Dark Alliance, both taking place mostly within the Western Heartlands, but the Bhaalspawn Saga extends to Amn and Tethyr. The Dark Alliance series was released for consoles and was critically and commercially successful. The Bhaalspawn Saga was critically acclaimed for using pausable realtime gameplay, which is credited with revitalizing the computer role-playing game (CRPG) genre.
