Thousands of people around the world prayed for Sethie’s three-year-old son, who’d been hospitalized for months. When doctors said Shiloh had “no meaningful brain activity,” Sethie called me. “Sometimes, I’m scared I’m not living with full faith,” she said. “I know God can heal Shiloh and let him come home with us. I’m also at peace if God heals him by taking him to heaven.” Assuring her that God understands like no one else can, I said, “You’ve surrendered to God. That is full faith!” A few days later, God took her precious son to heaven. Though struggling with the grief of losing him, Sethie thanked God and the many people who prayed. She said, “I believe God is still good and still God.” In this world, until Jesus comes again, we’ll “suffer grief in all kinds of trials” (1 Peter 1:6). We’ll need to process real emotions caused by real pain. However, everyone who experiences “new birth” in Christ (v. 3) can be anchored in life by love for Christ and be “filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy” (v. 8). The end result of our faith in Jesus is this: “the salvation of [our] souls” (v. 9). The Holy Spirit empowers us to have full faith—living with our prayers and our situations confidently surrendered to Christ.

Luke 7:18-35 Introduction It's such an honor to be with you and open the Word of God together. Lately, and by lately, I mean in the last few years, I have been increasingly alarmed and saddened by the number of friends, former students, former church members, and other people in my life who have gone…

I'm thinking maybe we should end tonight early, while everything's still on a high note. You call that a high note. Everything is high to me. You said it, not me. You may as well have said it. I supplemented it. You, Are a temporary fix for a permanent problem Art on my wall, And a star on my walk— A room full of boredom, A clause in a contract No more than just Four words, All of four letters, All perfect. Why the pause? I've been Looking at this show As if it were a box of darkness Waiting to be unlodged From my corpse, Or rather, even Sarcophagus, As it were, The words and characters had formed Over me, more like a storm Though I had submerged under the surface Only to learn that I had Learned that somehow I could breathe under water And stay there forever, If I wanted, A shadow of showmanship, The fear of being further pursecuted For having infinitely discovered such inspiration In such an offhand Person Sure, not as eloquent as my usual entries, But this soliloquy, I beg of you— Is more of syllables You see? I have hatred in my heart That has flowered into my mind As some sort of algorithmic cursemark Where hereunto Even Google taunts me; Reminding me of my own failure, Sure of all my debts, Ugliness, and lack of money Assuring that I will Probably never Make it in show business. I'm drained just sitting here, still and surrounded by The working clsss cotezens Who parade around as if Doing something noteworthy By feeding the machine And playing along With the recfomensations Of doctors Sponsored by pharmaceutical companies And invested in politicians With racist policies and intentions To exterminate psychologically Only the brownest and brazen enough To know better than To follow the orders of A robotic and problematic —I'll stop you there It's three syllables. What are they I'll think on it under warm water And hope that this 8 year old scar Is unswollen By nightfall tomorrow. —it's a curse, or what? No, it's the government . The laws of karma affect all power and control beyond a magicians natural limitations and inhibitions. Just for shits and giggles, They planted the demons The shamans, And all of the actors They bought out The psychological terrorism Began when she had indeed Fallen by his hand— A fist at best But may have as well been The bullet of a gun. She spoke openly of social reform And affordable housing, Equality, And economically priced produce. —so they tried to murder her— On numerous occasions But couldn't. They started a war With a mother Who never believed in nothing And had lost Children To God itself. They waged war with an army of robots Using telephone service And terms of agreement They sent stalkers Who spoke of shamans And acted like demons Agents who Remembered The names of people Past And present None forgotten Witnesses to what had happened Burned notebooks And credibility clauses. God never forgot her But often brought warnings Of those that had come for her They painted a picture of mental illness and poverty, And with every hope, Forced the suicide Knowing that she'd leave her son a fortune— —but had not known, The gold was of the fools type— As was his father. The barrel of the gun Was the punching bag And the thinking horns The slamming doors $49 Dollar whores And interceptions of brainwaves The assasination Was purely a psychological thriller— The will had an omen That no money Would fall to the hands of The man Who had hurt her In front of her sons. So the world went on Without a mother Or without a God As they all had worshipped The opposite for so long That true love Has become Obsolete —like an old iPhone With a broken screen As a metaphore For generation Z Her body was the equivalent Of the thing you don't need But once used daily And couldn't have gone anywhere Without it A suicide seemed The only way To escape the debt And the only thing She used to love Was music Now, Just like her son It was just a job— And the worst part was Both things Cost too much To afford it The legend continues With having to record everything— When the recording stops The world attacks And anxiety takes over everything Once she starts to sing The people start coughing The lights start flashing The doors start slamming And the name of her son's father Whispers over and over Like the sound of her mother popping gum And sighing eggaderatedly in agony. It's a competition On a planet With 8 billion people Who all believe that (((Whatever they believe)) And it must be true. It's a competition On a planet With I billion people Who all believe that (((God))) It must be -Ū. I didn't come here to be a messiah Or leave tire marks With my scuffed up Nikes Rounding the corner Out of Whole Foods market Like I stole something Only to come Back to the office To be greeted by shopping carts full of garbage Bad music on low quality speakers And trash under All of the ugly parked cars On the sidewalk White girls will boycott this series Because of how honest I am About how toxic they are With their microexpressions And arrogance In public. (It's just race-relations.) Where am I?! Apparently, I'm a vegetable in a coma. Right… So you won't just mind if I— No, not at all. Focus shifting is an aspect of multidimentionality in which a subject becomes perceptionally hyper focused with a seperate intention from previous projects or interests in order to better develop the consistency and understanding of the overal idea or process of creating, designing, building, or adding to various tasks and projects, with the overall realization that focus shifting to enhance the quality or oucome of one process may increase the likelihood of success in another— a more long-term of understanding multitasking, the in depth nature of focus shifting requires the extention of a project within the circumstantial purpose of completing or building on another, with the intention to return to the original task or subject with further tools, understanding, and conceptual awareness of the completed concept on a broad spectrum. vent, baby keem (Happy Accidents Remix) {Enter The Multiverse} [The Festival Project.™] COPYRIGHT © THE FESTIVAL PROJECT 2019-2024 | THE COMPLEX COLLECTIVE. © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © -Ū.

When we start a new role - either at the same organization in a different team or in a different team altogether, we've typically done a lot of work to land this new role. Just because you have been selected doesn't guarantee that everything will go smoothly. Coach Callan delves into why it is important to take stock of the knowledge, skills and will (KSW) in your backpack and be intentional about what thoughts, beliefs and behaviors you will take with you. She speaks about why it is also important to define what success looks like for you and how do you want to show up.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [Link Post] "Foundational Challenges in Assuring Alignment and Safety of Large Language Models", published by David Scott Krueger on June 6, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. We've recently released a comprehensive research agenda on LLM safety and alignment. This is a collaborative work with contributions from more than 35+ authors across the fields of AI Safety, machine learning, and NLP. Major credit goes to first author Usman Anwar, a 2nd year PhD student of mine who conceived and led the project and did a large portion of the research, writing, and editing. This blogpost was written only by David and Usman and may not reflect the views of other authors. I believe this work will be an excellent reference for anyone new to the field, especially those with some background in machine learning; a paradigmatic example reader we had in mind when writing would be a first-year PhD student who is new to LLM safety/alignment. Note that the agenda is not focused on AI existential safety, although I believe that there is a considerable and growing overlap between mainstream LLM safety/alignment and topics relevant to AI existential safety. Our work covers the following 18 topics, grouped into 3 high-level categories: Why you should (maybe) read (part of) our agenda The purpose of this post is to inform the Alignment Forum (AF) community of our work and encourage members of this community to consider engaging with it. A brief case for doing so: It includes over 200 concrete research directions, which might provide useful inspiration. We believe it provides comprehensive coverage of relevant topics at the intersection of safety and mainstream ML. We cover a much broader range of topics than typically receive attention on AF. AI Safety researchers - especially more junior researchers working on LLMs - are clustering around a few research agendas or problems (e.g. mechanistic interpretability, scalable oversight, jailbreaking). This seems suboptimal: given the inherent uncertainty in research, it is important to pursue diverse research agendas. We hope that this work can improve accessibility to otherwise neglected research problems, and help diversify the research agendas the community is following. Engaging with and understanding the broader ML community - especially parts of ML community working on AI Safety relevant problems - can be helpful for increasing your work's novelty, rigor, and impact. By reading our agenda, you can better understand the machine-learning community and discover relevant research being done in that community. We are interested in feedback from the AF community and believe your comments on this post could help inform the research we and others in the ML and AF communities do. Topics of particular relevance to the Alignment Forum community: Critiques of interpretability (Section 3.4) Interpretability is among the most popular research areas in the AF community, but I believe there is an unwarranted level of optimism around it. The field faces fundamental methodological challenges. Existing works often do not have a solid method of evaluating the validity of an interpretation, and scaling such evaluations seems challenging and potentially intractable. It seems likely that AI systems simply do not share human concepts, and at best have warped versions of them (as evidenced by adversarial examples). In this case, AI systems may simply not be interpretable, even given the best imaginable tools. In my experience, ML researchers are more skeptical and pessimistic about interpretability for reasons such as the above and a history of past mistakes. I believe the AF community should engage more with previous work in ML in order to learn from prior mistakes and missteps, and our agenda will provide useful background and references. This section also has lots of di...

The Toronto Raptors' Jontay Porter has been permanently expelled from the NBA after a thorough investigation uncovered his involvement in passing inside information to sports gamblers, including betting against his own team. This stringent action came into effect after the NBA was alerted by licensed betting entities and a legal betting tracking organization of suspicious betting activities linked to Porter's performance in a game on the 20th of March, specifically against the Sacramento Kings. Upon careful scrutiny, the league found that Porter had relayed information regarding his health condition to a gambler prior to the aforementioned game. Extraordinarily, an individual known to be actively engaged in NBA betting made a daring $80,000 wager through an online sports book that Porter would fail to reach the general expectations set for him. Had the gamble paid off, it would have resulted in an astonishing win of $1.1 million. Surprisingly, Porter exited that game after a short three minutes, mentioning that he was not feeling well. His on-court statistics did not match the pre-set totals made in the extensive bet. Following this occurrence, the significant $80,000 wager was temporarily suspended and not redeemed, prompting the NBA to swiftly launch an in-depth investigation. The NBA maintains unbending rules when it comes to players participating in sports betting. In this case, Porter was discovered to have considerably infringed the universally accepted Collective Bargaining Agreement. It explicitly states that any player who bets money, directly or indirectly, on any NBA or NBA G league game shall be brought in for questioning, and the commissioner's decision is indisputable and binding. NBA's Commissioner, Adam Silver, bluntly reiterated that Porter's actions being egregiously obvious justified the ban. He was adamant that nothing tops preserving the honor and credibility of NBA competitions for the fans, teams, and every individual connected with the sport. Hence, Porter's gross transgressions of the gaming rules had to be met with the harshest possible penalty. Under Silver's stewardship, Porter marks the second personality to face a lifelong ban from the NBA, with the first being Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling in 2014. This historical event evoked an air of surprise, particularly within the upper echelons of the Raptors' organization. Raptors President, Masai Ujiri, displayed shock and sadness over this unfortunate turn of events. He stated, 'Neither was this the anticipated future for the young player, nor a desired situation for our team, and definitely not an outcome that the league would prefer.' Ujiri added that the news was completely unexpected, catching most off guard. Later the Raptors put forth a statement asserting their full support for the decisive action taken to exclude Jontay Porter from the NBA. They appreciated the prompt resolution to the pressing investigation and pledged to cooperate with all forthcoming inquiries. In addition, the investigation brought to light that Porter had wagered on 13 different games, utilizing someone else's betting account with values that varied from a modest $15 to a staggering $22,000. Interestingly, none of these bets were on games in which Porter was a participant. Yet it was revealed that three of these wagers were multi-game parlays, and one of them wagered on his team's loss. Such findings raise critical issues regarding the existing regulatory network currently in play, particularly when it comes to bet types offered on games and player's activity. The NBA Commissioner Adam Silver identified the situation as an opportunity to consider the efficiency of the current regulatory framework. While he acknowledged the transparency brought about by legalized sports betting, Silver expressed concerns regarding suspicious betting patterns, re-emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring. Assuring league fans, Silver stated, 'Working alongside all relevant players within the industry, the NBA's commitment remains steadfast to ensure it does everything needed to protect its league and the integrity of the sport.' The Porter case serves as a stark reminder for everyone involved in the sport and beyond. It highlights the challenges of maintaining integrity within competitive sport when faced with the growing prevalence of sports betting and the lure of quick fortunes. As one of the major sports organizations, the NBA's swift and stern response sets a strong precedent for others to maintain vigilance and discipline in upholding the spirit of fair and honest play.

Recorded: Sunday 15th of April, 2024 Location: Sao Vicente, Madeira, Portugal Sponsor: @whatasesh mentorship program. Register for my mentorship! ⁠Fill it out the form here. Poem: I will not be lost. There is a man below attending to the potatoes, There is a woman above, she lost her footing. A man in the hospital waits to greet me with a smile, The family laughs at my expense. I laugh. It's contagious. Too far from home, I lost count of the miles. The counting never stopped. It mustn't stop. The moment the count stops, I'll be lost. I see it all the time. Lost people. In a lost world. Watching motorbikes defy gravity, 10 inches from death. Windy roads, brakes that work, most the time. At least when I need them. That's all that matters. The ocean never stops talking to me. I keep staring at the horizon, are you on the other side? There is a dozen sides, I hope you're on the one I'm looking at. I never knew my north from east, nothing goes south. I'm looking for west, for wins, for wonder. She calls. Twice in the morning. She's sweet. "Is Pasta, okay?" Mr Man, of course it is. He calls, once in the evening. Assuring the dream is alive. She misses me in the evening. She's over the horizon. He walks with a limp now. The strongest man I know. Are his days ever dark? They must be. Every sunset turns to dark. The sky never sleeps there. These two legs of mine. Remind me of everything. I keep stumbling. Guessing. Falling. The path isn't clear. I can't see the path. I returned their map. I'm drawing my own. I'm not lost. Because I can't be. The most beautiful thing I heard, was from a man I admired. He talked of life and said, "the magic is not lost on me." I went on, knowing, living. i'll never be lost. I can't be. It is not lost on me. It is not lost on me. The magic, the love, the effort, the enduring, the hardship, the goodluck, the trying, the care. All of this, is not lost on me. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/josh-lynott-project/message

Part 1 Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep, you might have sleep apnea. Guest:  Dr. David Neubauer MD  Dr. David Neubauer is Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins University and an expert in sleep medicine. David Neubauer is a Fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, as well as a member of the Sleep Research Society, European Sleep Research Society, and the World Sleep Society, where he serves on the International Scientific Committee. He has served on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of the National Sleep Foundation. David is the author of Understanding Sleeplessness: Perspectives on Insomnia published by the Johns Hopkins University Press, as well as numerous articles and book chapters on sleep-related topics. He is coauthor of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline for the Pharmacologic Treatment of Chronic Insomnia in Adults and the current Wolters Kluwer UpToDate section on “Pharmacotherapy for Insomnia in Adults.”   Part 2 Special Guests: Tara (Schmidt) Pfund, PharmD Product Manager at AssureCare LLC   Parth Shah  VP of Product at AssureCare, LLC Tara is the lead development, design, and strategy for various clinical services solutions supporting pharmacist providers.  The successful expansion of pharmacy roles during COVID-19 lead many pharmacists to want the temporary shift to become permanent. Dr. Tara Pfund, PharmD talks about the shifting scope of practice from being a medication dispenser to taking on a clinician role as an integral member of patient care. Pharmacists are playing a vital role in improving health outcomes and studies have shown positive impacts on health outcomes when pharmacists are involved in the patient care. Medication adherence, outcomes in chronic conditions, and preventing hospitalizations have all seen improvement with pharmacists' expanded scope of care. AssureCare's innovative, patient-centered, connected care platform increases access to care, reduces cost of care, improves quality of care, and accelerates patient engagement.

One of the ways to achieve this is through positive affirmations, which help build your child's confidence and self-esteem. Here are ten things to whisper in your child's ear every day. 1.“I believe in you 100%. Whatever you want to be, I'll be right behind you.” By telling your child this, you encourage them to follow their dreams and aspirations. 2.“Be yourself, that's all that you can do. You're amazing just as you are, and I love you.” By accepting your child as they are, you help them feel valued and appreciated. 3.“I trust you, and you can trust me. If you make a mistake or do something wrong, that's ok! We all make mistakes!” Letting your child know that it's okay to make mistakes and that you will still be there for them helps build a strong bond of trust. 4.“I will always be by your side. No matter how far away you are from me, just call, and I'll be right there!” Assuring your child that you will always be there for them gives them a sense of security and comfort. 5.“I'm your friend. I may be a lot older than you, but I love being with you just as much as you love being with me!” Being your child's friend helps build a healthy relationship built on trust, respect and love. 6.“Try to be as kind as you can to everyone you meet. Smile, love, care and laugh. That's all I ask of you.” Teaching your child to be kind and compassionate towards others helps them build empathy and positive relationships with people. 7.“Try your best, that's good enough for me. But whatever you do, don't ever give up. Don't ever let doubt get in your way. If you can imagine it, you can become it!8. Encouraging your child to never give up and to believe in their dreams helps build their resilience and determination. 9.“If you see someone crying on the playground, sitting on their own or looking lonely, go over, hold their hand, and make sure they're ok! Imagine what it would be like to be so sad!” Teaching your child to be empathetic towards others helps them build strong interpersonal skills. 10. “Take care of plants, animals and insects. They're all part of the universe, and so are you. The world is your home, but it's also theirs. Let's share it together.” Teaching your child to care for the environment helps them build a sense of responsibility towards the planet. “I love you, unconditionally!” Telling your child that you love them, no matter what, helps build their self-esteem and sense of self-worth.Support the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

The Two Mikes welcomed back that fierce America Firster Mr. Ed Haugland for an update on the pervasive tyranny that the Bigen regime is unleashing on patriotic Americans. As always, Mr. Haugland came to the point immediately. "Progressives" he said, " are terrorists ... and they mean to kill us." Mr. Haugland explained that the Progressives clearly are processing along six separate avenues for their intent to destroy America. Please take time to hear Mr. Haugland walk through and explain these avenues. All of our lives depend on knowing what to expect and on being prepared to ruthlessly reduce it to rubble. --a.) Weaponizing national security --b.) Assuring the invasion of the republic and the slaughtering of Americans --c.) Destroying our rights under both the Constitution and the natural law --d.) Cancelling the economic and energy independence of the United States --e.) The miseducation and indoctrination to depravity and anti-Americanism for our children --f.) A wide variety of activities, each of which amounts to purposeful terrorism Sponsors CARES Act Stimulus (COVID-19) Employee Retention Tax Credits (ERC): https://www.jornscpa.com/snap/?refid=11454757Cambridge Credit: https://www.cambridge-credit.org/twomikes/ EMP Shield: https://www.empshield.com/?coupon=twomikesOur Gold Guy: https://www.ourgoldguy.com www.TwoMikes.us
