Before the operation can even start, one commander who is trying to stop the invasion frames another for the crime of sacrilege, leading him to defect to the Spartans and convince them to join the war to stop Athens. Somehow, that isn't even the strangest thing that happens over the next two years. SOURCES: Ellis, Walter M. Alcibiades. New York: Routledge, 1989 Kagan, Donald.

This episode is brought to you by Aligned for Wealth™, a free 3-part experience designed to help you stop paying the high cost of misalignment. Replays end July 2nd! ✨ About This Season: The Anatomy of Alignment This season of Redefining Wealth is dedicated to unpacking what alignment really means — not as a buzzword, but as structure. We're dissecting how misalignment impacts each of the Six Pillars of Wealth — FIT, PEOPLE, SPACE, FAITH, WORK, and MONEY — and what it truly costs when we tolerate what drains us. Each episode builds on the last. So subscribe and journey with us as we move from awakening… to redefining… to actualizing. Episode Summary In this season finale, Patrice reflects on one of the most powerful lessons from the Anatomy of Alignment series: the difference between the price of change and the cost of staying the same. While many people fear the discomfort, grief, uncertainty, or inconvenience that comes with making aligned decisions, Patrice challenges listeners to consider the long-term cost of remaining in situations, relationships, habits, and environments that no longer support who they're becoming. Through personal stories about her health, relationships, home, and recent life transitions, she reveals how misalignment quietly taxes our energy, peace, and potential over time. Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to stop calculating only the immediate price of change and start honestly evaluating the hidden cost of staying the same. Patrice reminds us that alignment often requires temporary discomfort, but misalignment can create years of emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial drain. As she closes out the season, she encourages listeners to embrace the work of alignment, trust the vision they've been given, and choose the version of life that reflects who they are becoming rather than who they used to be. Questions to Ask Yourself: What am I avoiding because I'm focused on the price instead of the cost? Where in my life am I paying a long-term price for staying the same? What relationship, habit, environment, or commitment no longer aligns with who I'm becoming? What would become possible if I stopped negotiating with misalignment? Am I willing to experience temporary discomfort in exchange for lasting alignment? Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself? Start Here:
A trip to New York, the madness of Upfronts week, and one very unfortunate memory from the Grey's Anatomy days all collide in this episode. Jessica and Camilla swap stories from behind the scenes, including emergency fashion fixes, borrowed underwear, and a moment from more than ten years ago that somehow never made it out of the vault… until now. Plus, Jessica shares an unexpected detail from filming her 9-1-1 Nashville finale fight scene with LeAnn Rimes and why surviving Hollywood sometimes requires preparation, chaos, and a sense of humor. As always, the girls are telling on themselves, laughing through the wild rides, and proving that some stories are just too good to keep to yourselves.

"How many lives could have been saved if the warning signs had been connected sooner?"In the mid-1980s, a wave of unprecedented terror gripped Southern California. Windows were nailed shut, lights were on throughout the night, and ordinary communities found themselves at the mercy of a predatory phantom. The media gave him a moniker that froze the blood of millions: "The Night Stalker." But away from the sensational headlines, a devastating reality was unfolding; one marked by fragmented police jurisdictions, catastrophic political blunders, and an analog system entirely unequipped to track a transient killer.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, host Brittany Ransom shifts the lens away from the killer's dark celebrity to honor the real people behind the statistics. We strip away the mythology of Richard Ramirez to examine the human cost of the tragedy, the structural failures that kept him on the streets for 14 terrifying months, and the ordinary East L.A. citizens who finally refused to let him disappear again.The Victims Before the Headlines: Restoring the names, lives, and humanity of those targeted, including Jennie Vincow, Maxon and Lela Kneiding, Vincent and Maxine Zazzara, and the brave young survivors like six-year-old Anastasia Hronas.The Anatomy of a Ghost: How Ramirez's unmapped, transient status allowed him to exploit the margins of Los Angeles and slip between the cracks of a fragmented legal system.Investigative Blunders & Political Egos: A deep dive into the shocking missteps that compromised the hunt. Including the infamous Dianne Feinstein shoe press conference and the live media leak of the killer's stolen getaway vehicle.The Streets Take Back Control: The visceral moment a neighborhood cornered a monster, proving the manhunt wouldn't end with a SWAT raid, but with ordinary people shouting “¡El Matón!”The Endless Trial & Death Row Gridlock: An exploration of the toxic courtroom spectacle, the "Night Stalker Groupies," and the philosophical failure of a 24-year death row sentence that was ultimately beaten by cancer.A Note from Brittany: When Killers Get Caught will be taking a brief mid-summer production break for the month of July to prepare our next season of deep dives.

Most of us spend our lives wanting to be loved, but Dr. Curt Thompson believes something has to come first: being known. In this episode, we explore why our stories matter, how our own wounds shape the way we parent, and why children need more than our effort they need our presence. Dr. Thompson shares powerful insights on attachment, emotions, suffering, friendship, and the healing that happens when someone truly sees us and stays. This episode is a reminder that growth is often difficult, relationships are essential, and hope is formed not in isolation but in connection. Learn more at curtthompsonmd.com .

Your value rises with the problems you can solve. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why elite problem solvers become some of the most valuable people in business. Let's be real… If every minor issue makes you panic… If every inconvenience gets escalated… If every obstacle requires someone else to rescue you… You are not operating like a leader. You are operating like a liability. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your income is tied to the complexity of problems you can handle How panic destroys clear thinking and execution Why high-level leaders separate emotion from facts How becoming the person who fixes the unfixable makes you invaluable The truth is simple: CEO money requires CEO thinking. You cannot wait for a savior. You cannot freeze when systems break. You cannot complain when the market shifts. You have to analyze the issue. Map out the options. Choose the best path. And execute the fix. High-level operators do not run from chaos. They run toward it. They stay calm. They think mechanically. They solve what others avoid. Because every problem is an opportunity to prove competence. Stop wishing for fewer problems. Build stronger problem-solving skills. Find the solution. Lead the team. And keep leveling up.

What if creativity isn't about setting the perfect goal, but about learning to trust yourself in the unknown? In this episode, Heather and Alan sit down with choreographer, educator, somatic practitioner, and author Alexandra Beller for a conversation that moves far beyond dance. Alexandra shares how a lifetime of listening to her body, embracing uncertainty, and following curiosity led her from performing with a world-renowned dance company to creating her own work, teaching artists, and helping others reconnect with their intuition. Together, they explore the relationship between the mind and body, the difference between goals and drive, why modern culture has taught us to outsource our self-trust, and how creativity thrives when we stop demanding certainty. Alexandra also discusses her upcoming book, The Anatomy of Art, and explains why failure is not the opposite of success but a necessary part of invention, growth, and becoming who we are meant to be. If you've ever struggled to trust your instincts, felt trapped by expectations, or wondered how to create more authentically, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to embrace uncertainty and create yourself intentionally. Alexandra Beller is a choreographer, movement educator, somatic practitioner, and author whose work bridges the worlds of dance, embodiment, creativity, and personal transformation. A former member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company, she spent seven years performing internationally before launching her own acclaimed choreographic career. Alexandra has taught at institutions including Princeton University and has created work for stages across the United States. Through her teaching, coaching, and writing, she helps artists and non-artists alike cultivate deeper self-awareness, creative confidence, and trust in their own inner wisdom. Her upcoming book, The Anatomy of Art, explores how artists can reclaim intuition and develop a more embodied creative practice.

The crowd called Paul a god. Then they stoned him, dragged his body outside the city, and walked away. And just when that quiet ditch should have been the end of the story, Paul opened his eyes, pulled himself up out of the dirt, and walked right back through the same gates where the stones had flown.That is the anatomy of endurance.If you have been doing exactly what God called you to do and still taking hit after hit, this message from Acts 14 is your word for this season. Lead Pastor Talaat McNeely unpacks Paul and Barnabas in Lystra to reveal three of the most dangerous traps believers fall into when the pressure refuses to let up.In this episode, you will discover:✅ How we instinctively try to domesticate God's power the moment it disrupts our comfort, and exactly what that habit costs our faith.✅ Why the same crowd that drapes garlands around your neck on Tuesday will pick up stones by Friday the moment you refuse to perform for them.✅ Why endurance is never a solo mission and how the body of Christ is designed to lift you when you cannot lift yourself.A frictionless path creates a fragile faith. The Kingdom of God is not advanced by smooth roads. It is forged through unshakeable endurance.Scripture: Acts 14:8-20 (NLT)Series: Unstoppable: A Journey Through the Book of ActsPurpose City Church | Aurora, IllinoisIf this message hit home, share it with someone who needs to hear it this week.

Most arguments seem to be about just one thing: money, chores, politics, parenting, work, or whatever sparked the disagreement. But according to experts in conflict resolution, there is often something deeper happening beneath the surface. In fact, many arguments become difficult to resolve because two separate problems are being confused as one. Understanding the difference can completely change the conversation. Source: Jim Ferrell author of The Anatomy of Peace (https://amzn.to/4erYLUP). Imagine grocery shopping every day because food spoiled almost immediately. Imagine no frozen food, no leftovers, no supermarkets stocked with fresh produce year-round, and no easy way to transport food across long distances. Just 150 years ago, that was normal life. Then refrigeration arrived and quietly transformed almost everything about how humans eat, live, work, and build cities. Yet this remarkable technology has also created unexpected consequences for our health, food systems, the environment, and even our relationship with nature. Nicola Twilley, writer, co-host of the popular Gastropod podcast (https://gastropod.com/category/podcasts/), and author of Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves (https://amzn.to/3VuXNP0), reveals the fascinating story behind one of the most important inventions in human history. Volcanoes are among the most destructive forces on Earth. They bury cities, disrupt climates, and unleash enormous power with little warning. Yet without volcanoes, life on Earth might never have evolved the way it did—and may not exist at all. Where does lava come from? Why do volcanoes erupt where they do? Why do some remain dormant for centuries before suddenly awakening? And what role have volcanoes played in shaping the planet we call home? Tamsin Mather, professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford and author of Adventures in Volcanoland: What Volcanoes Tell Us About the World and Ourselves (https://amzn.to/3xk4DyI), explains why volcanoes are not just geological curiosities but one of the fundamental forces that made Earth what it is today. Most purses travel everywhere their owners do—restaurants, public restrooms, grocery stores, offices, airports, and countless other places.

Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry.

Eli's book The Spinster Cookbook: Culture, Politics and Pleasure in the Single Woman's Kitchen is also a story of rebellion, explaining how cooking for one as a woman can become an act of care, defiance, pleasure, and self-expression.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

Political analyst and author Nolan Higdon is back to talk with Steve about his new book, MAGA Academy: How Corporatism Paved the Way for the Hostile Takeover of Higher Ed.Nolan makes the case that Trump's hostile takeover of the academy was only possible because fifty years of neoliberal corporatization had already reduced universities to profit-driven enterprises. (He also points out that this was spearheaded largely by so-called liberal Democrats.) From the weakening of faculty power and the crushing weight of student debt to the erosion of academic freedom and the treatment of students as mere customers, the stage was set long before MAGA became a political force. If higher education had a civic mission, it has been gutted. Critical inquiry is replaced by vapid careerism and market logic.Steve and Nolan examine how federal funding and corporate influence turned campuses into compliant institutions, more concerned with their bottom line. Steve brings the crucial macro-economic, challenging the false scarcity that puts the kibosh on public investment in education. As he often reminds us, the federal government is the issuer of the currency. It is not revenue-constrained, yet we continue to accept austerity and tuition hikes as if there were no other way.The conversation highlights how higher education reflects broader class relations and power structures within capitalism. MAGA's higher education agenda is part of a longer historical process that leads to today's intensified struggles over knowledge, ideology, and power.Nolan Higdon is a prominent political analyst, author, and media scholar. He teaches in Merrill College and the Education Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. A veteran of the "corporate university" era, Higdon has authored numerous books, including The Anatomy of Fake News and Surveillance Education. His latest work, MAGAcademy, exposes the bipartisan neoliberal roots of the modern authoritarian shift in American higher education.Find his work on Substack: nolanhigdon.substack.com@NolanHigdonCML on X

Welcome to the first episode of a chapter-by-chapter journey through the Books of Shmuel. We begin our deep dive with a look past the simple translations to find a primordial soup of character traits, divine politics, and raw human emotion. Chapter 1 introduces Elkanah, a master marketer single-handedly trying to put God's Mishkan back on the map against a backdrop of institutional corruption. But the true engine of this opening act is Chana. Driven by the systematic provocations of her sister-wife Penina, Chana refuses to accept her default reality. She takes her bitterness directly to God, invents a new name for the Almighty, and thunders for a son.In this class, we break down:* The Irony of Lineage: How the descendant of the Torah's ultimate rebel, Korach, becomes the architect of Shiloh's restoration.* The Shiloh Ghost Town: Why the public abandoned the Mishkan, and the loud, circuitous promotional strategy Elkanah used to bring the crowds back.* The Anatomy of Prayer: Why a silent, moving mouth looked like public drunkenness to the High Priest Eli, and how their confrontation birthed the fundamental laws of Jewish prayer.* The Cost of Great Prayer: Why Shmuel's life was cut to 52 years based on the exact, literal phrasing of Chana's oath.*The Unspoken Text: Weaving through the cultural backdrops, linguistic subversions, and localized politics that the simple translations leave behind.Follow along as we unpack Tanakh, character psychology, and the hidden mechanics of history, one chapter at a time.

This lecture focuses on experiences of hiding and help during the Holocaust across Europe, including the German Reich itself, to highlight the significance of surrounding societies for the survival of Jews. In a broad comparative analysis, going beyond a focus on individual rescuers and getting away from generalisations about supposed ‘national characteristics', Mary Fulbrook illuminates how local power structures and sense of community shaped non-Jewish responses to antisemitic policies, and affected the choices, experiences and chances of Jews attempting to evade persecution in different regions during the war. This lecture was recorded by Mary Fulbrook on the 18th of May 2026A graduate of Cambridge and Harvard universities, Mary Fulbrook is Professor of German History at University College London (UCL) and a Fellow of the British Academy.

Join Michael at his Mt. Shasta Summer Retreat, July 30 - August 2! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/mt-shasta-summer-retreat/. Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Sue Morter. Sue is an internationally acclaimed speaker, Master of Bioenergetic Medicine, and thought leader bridging science, spirituality, and human potential. As the founder and CEO of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, she teaches how to reprogram the body's electromagnetic energy flow through embodiment, self-healing, and higher consciousness. Her latest book, The Anatomy of Awakening, explores the hidden codes that help unlock the truth of who we are and live from our divine destiny. Conversation Highlights Include: -Why awakening is not about fixing yourself, but remembering the divine wholeness that has always been who you truly are. -How embodiment shifts spiritual practice from trying to leave the body into fully inhabiting life with presence, clarity, and purpose. -A deeper look at the "God body" as the energetic bridge between the physical self and the higher consciousness we are learning to embody. -The importance of rewriting your identity so you stop seeing yourself as separate from Source and begin living as an expression of it. -How the body uses sensations, tightness, emotion, and energy to guide you back toward the parts of yourself that need awareness and integration. -Why spiritual practice is not meant to be an escape from life, but a way to bring your true self into relationships, family, work, and the world. -How bringing attention back into the body helps reclaim energy, soften old protective patterns, and expand your capacity to live authentically. -A powerful reframing of Love as the organizing force of the Cosmos, not just an emotion exchanged between people. -Why heaviness, sadness, anxiety, or fear can become doorways into healing when you follow them inward with breath, presence, and compassion. Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on the inward smile, gratitude, divine identity, and remembering that everything you need is already within you.

The AI-Driven Threat Matrix: Architectural Cybersecurity and Compliance for Small Firms with Michele NovackIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Michele Novack, the host and founder of Cardinalsbyte, to break down the rapidly evolving cyber vulnerabilities that threaten the financial solvency of small businesses. As a veteran risk strategist specializing in the financial services sector, Michele highlights how CPAs, accountants, and tax professionals have become prime targets for sophisticated, automated digital attacks. This conversation delivers an intentional operational roadmap for mid-market founders and executive teams looking to navigate tightening federal mandates, identify hidden security gaps within their existing infrastructure, and defend their enterprise value against highly advanced, AI-powered corporate fraud.The Anatomy of Digital Defense: Mitigating Algorithmic Vulnerabilities through Zero-Trust ProtocolsThe rapid proliferation of consumer-facing artificial intelligence has weaponized the digital threat landscape, enabling bad actors to execute automated, hyper-personalized social engineering campaigns at an unprecedented scale. Michele Novack cautions that small businesses can no longer rely on traditional, passive firewall defenses as cybercriminals increasingly deploy sophisticated voice cloning, automated phishing sequences, and deepfake video streams to bypass conventional security guardrails. A single compromised corporate email account can result in catastrophic financial loss, as demonstrated by emerging corporate wire fraud schemes where payroll managers are manipulated by synthetic, AI-generated replicas of their CEO during live video conferences. To counter this automated disruption, executive leadership must enforce rigid, non-negotiable zero-trust verification protocols—requiring multi-channel, manual confirmation for all financial movements and high-stakes data extractions completely independent of digital messaging networks.Insulating a firm against regulatory penalties and liability requires a disciplined commitment to formalizing internal data compliance programs rather than treating security as an ad-hoc IT checklist. Tightening federal mandates, such as the revised FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS security guidelines, now legally obligate financial services providers to maintain comprehensive, written documentation detailing their operational defenses. Many business owners operate under the dangerous assumption that their external Managed Service Provider (MSP) inherently handles regulatory compliance, leaving the enterprise exposed to massive liability gaps due to a complete lack of formal Written Information Security Programs (WISPs) and documented Incident Response Plans (IRPs). True enterprise resilience is achieved when leadership takes proactive ownership of corporate compliance, closing security gaps by performing routine endpoint audits, implementing geographical IP blocking, and maximizing the advanced, built-in security features native to enterprise cloud suites like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.Transforming an organization's digital posture ultimately relies on establishing a transparent, security-first corporate culture that bridges the gap between complex technical tools and human operational habits. Because human manipulation remains the primary vector for enterprise data breaches, continuous, jargon-free employee training is a vital piece of operational infrastructure. Rather than deploying clinical, one-and-done IT lectures that fail to change day-to-day employee behavior, founders must implement continuous, interactive education loops and safe phishing simulations that sharpen frontline skepticism. When clear behavioral habits, automated endpoint monitoring, and verified compliance documentation are synthesized under a unified governance architecture, a business successfully limits its operational risk. This proactive stance converts cybersecurity from a costly technical burden into a powerful, high-valuation corporate asset that fiercely protects the organization's market authority.About Michele NovackMichele Novack is the host, founder, and chief risk strategist of Cardinalsbyte, and a premier authority on small business data security and financial compliance management. Drawing from decades of specialized experience within the financial services and accounting sectors, Michele focuses on demystifying complex technical architecture to make regulatory frameworks accessible for corporate executives. She is a dedicated educator and advisor who specializes in constructing high-accountability cyber defense models designed to protect small-to-mid-sized enterprises from advanced electronic corporate theft.About CardinalsbyteCardinalsbyte is an elite risk management and cybersecurity compliance consultancy that provides custom data-protection solutions, vulnerability assessments, and regulatory mapping for professional services firms. The company specializes in translating complex federal guidelines, such as NIST frameworks and IRS mandates, into actionable corporate playbooks including Written Information Security Programs (WISPs). Through proactive technical testing, executive risk summaries, and white-glove incident response coordination, Cardinalsbyte enables mid-market organizations to eliminate administrative security debt and shield their bottom lines from systemic digital threats.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeCardinalsbyte Compliance Partner Page: cardinalsbytes.com/compliance-partnerMichele Novack on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/cardinalsbyte-mnovackKey Episode HighlightsThe AI Weaponization Trap: Analyzing how deepfakes, automated voice cloning, and synthetic media bypass traditional corporate communication filters to enable catastrophic wire fraud.The MSP Compliance Gap: Understanding why standard IT vendors fail to provide mandatory regulatory documentation, and how to self-correct using structured WISPs.Maximizing Built-In Cloud Security: Leveraging and configuring the advanced, pre-existing anti-phishing dashboards embedded within Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.The Multi-Channel Verification Mandate: Implementing mandatory human-in-the-loop protocols that require dual physical authorization for high-volume financial movements.Building a Skeptical Corporate Culture: Shifting internal security training from a static annual checklist into continuous, interactive education that reduces human error on the frontline.ConclusionThe conversation with Michele Novack underscores that true cybersecurity resilience is an ongoing exercise in structural governance and human vigilance rather than an expensive software purchase. By standardizing internal corporate compliance, executing rigorous endpoint audits, and building an inclusive culture of behavioral accountability, business leaders can transform a vulnerable digital setup into a highly secure, enterprise-grade corporate asset.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Send us Fan MailFew topics spark more debate in healthcare than the intersection of compassionate care, ethical responsibility, and financial sustainability.Can mission-driven hospice organizations survive—and thrive—in a healthcare landscape increasingly dominated by for-profit providers?In Part One of this compelling conversation, TCNtalks/Anatomy of Leadership host Chris Comeaux welcomes Lauren Kaufmann, Assistant Professor of Business Administration at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, and Stephen Maiden, Managing Director of the Darden Case Writing Research Group. Together, they discuss the groundbreaking business case developed around Teleios Collaborative Network and the evolving hospice industry. The conversation explores whether nonprofit hospice organizations possess unique structural advantages that can help them compete against larger, investor-backed healthcare models while remaining true to their mission. Drawing on research, classroom discussions, and real-world leadership experiences, the guests examine topics including community trust, volunteerism, staffing ratios, organizational culture, governance, marketing, and ethical decision-making. They challenge assumptions about nonprofit and for-profit healthcare while offering a thoughtful exploration of what it takes to deliver “care as a relationship, not a transaction” in today's healthcare environment. Key TakeawaysNonprofit hospice organizations may possess structural advantages through community trust, volunteer engagement, and mission-driven cultures that are difficult for competitors to replicate. The future success of nonprofit healthcare organizations depends not only on care quality but also on effectively communicating their value to patients and families.

Do you feel like your spiritual life is stuck in a construction zone, constantly trying to force changes that don't seem to last?In this final, high-impact message of "The Hygiene of My Heart" series, Pastor Charlie Grimes concludes our clinical soul assessment by revealing exactly what a fully healthy, thriving heart looks like.

After very intense days of build-up, when President Trump spoke openly about his anger at his one-time pal, Benjamin Netanyahu, we learned on Sunday night - the President's 80th birthday - that Iran and America had agreed to end the war.Come again? Which war?On Monday, the President, Vice-President and Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi signed a “Memorandum of Understanding”. Electronically. Diplomacy by docu-sign. We are told that it takes care of all outstanding business and acrimony. Most importantly, Trump gloated, gas prices dropped immediately and the Strait of Hormuz was open to commercial shipping traffic. Who knew it was all so easily resolved?On today's podcast I get into the ugly underbelly of this “deal” - or what we think we know about it - with two of the top analysts in this business: Andrew Fox and Negar Mojtahedi.

In this episode of Shit Platypus Says, members Laurie R, Cam H, and Ethan L dig into the archives for a wide-ranging conversation on Cuba. Together, they trace Cuba's historical role in the socialist imagination and ask what the latest crisis means in the shadow of the twentieth century. Their discussion is interspersed with highlights from an interview members Ben K. and Mohammad H. conducted with Steve Eckardt of the Chicago Cuba Coalition. Listen for a reflective conversation on whether, and how, Cuba still matters for anyone trying to think seriously about the past, present, and future of the Left. ----- Links: Fidel Castro, “The Universal Conscience,” speech to the Cultural Congress of Havana, January 1968, in The New Left Reader, ed.

A review of injuries to various body parts and the implications for a kosher shechitah. Note the sages' awareness of the animals' anatomy. After all, they did open these animals up and were able to discern their inner workings. Note also the sages' verbal descriptions of the visual/physical. Also, a deeper dive into the potential perforation of the heart -- and which chamber of the heart was (presumably necessarily) perforated? And, of course, note the big loss that a treyfa discovery would mean. It wasn't a simple thing to render the meat before the shochet into non-kosher food.
