I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed curator, author, and expert in photography, Madga Keany. Currently the Head Curator of International Art at the National Gallery of Art, Canberra, Magda was most recently Curator at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, and before that, Senior Curator, Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery London, where she lead the realisation of a major re-presentation of the Photographs Collection as part of the museum's rehaul. Keany has curated shows and published texts on Australian art, design and social history, photography that ranges from the Victorian period to fashion, conflict and portraiture, solo presentations of portraits by Irving Penn, among many others. She has written for the groundbreaking Know My Name project, that put women artists in Australia on a global stage as well as for Cindy Sherman, A World History of Women Photographers, and more. …but it was her exhibition last year that really grabbed my attention: Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream in', that brought together the two photographers working 100 years apart, from very different worlds, circumstances and contexts, but which showed how these pioneering women shaped the medium, with their dreamlike pictures imbued with beauty, symbolism, classicism, transformation and more… So today, I couldn't be more excited to delve into the life of the 19th century photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, who, aged 49 in 1863, picked up a camera and, largely self-taught, crafted her distinct bohemian style pictures with that hazy sepia glow, that proved to not only be influential in Victorian Britain, but have a huge impact on photography at large. As Cameron once said: “My aspirations are to ennoble Photography and to secure for it the character and uses of High Art by combining the real & Ideal & sacrificing nothing of Truth by all possible devotion to poetry and beauty.” And I can't wait to find out more.

From deep space, something has entered our solar system — moving too fast to belong here. Astronomers call it 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar traveler streaking past our world on a path that began in another star system. But is it a natural comet… or a message in motion? This week, Dave Schrader anf guest Mark Lanoue break down what we know for sure about this mysterious object — and what remains unexplained. Could 3I/ATLAS be alien technology, a probe, or something even stranger? And if it is, what would that mean for science, for faith, and for the very story of creation itself? From NASA's data to ancient scripture, Dave explores the line where cosmic fact meets divine mystery — asking whether angels, gods, and extraterrestrials might all be part of the same celestial truth. 3I/ATLAS – Alien Observer or Cosmic Wanderer? - The Paranormal 60 PLEASE SUPPORT THE ADVERTISERS THAT SUPPORT THIS SHOWTalkSpace -  Get$80 off your first month with Talkspace when you go to Talkspace.com/podcastand enter promo code SPACE80.  True Classic - Step into your new home for the best clothes at True Classic ⁠www.TrueClassic.com/P60⁠Raycon Everyday Earbuds - Save up to 30% Off at ⁠www.buyraycon.com/truecrimenetwork⁠Cornbread Hemp - Save 30% off your first order at ⁠www.cornbreadhemp.com/P60⁠ and enter P60 into the coupon codeMint Mobile - To get your new wireless plan for just $15 a month, and get the plan shipped to your door for FREE, go to ⁠⁠⁠www.MintMobile.com/P60⁠Cozy Earth - Begin your sleep adventure on the best bedding and sleepwear with Cozy Earth: ⁠https://cozyearth.com/⁠ use Promo Code P60 for up to 40% off savings!Steam Beacon TV - Your home for Paranormal, Horror & True Crime TV ⁠https://streambeacontv.com/⁠⁠⁠Love & Lotus Tarot with Winnie Schrader - ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://lovelotustarot.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠PLEASE RATE & REVIEW THE PARANORMAL 60 PODCAST WHEREVER YOU LISTEN! #Paranormal60 #DaveSchrader #3IATLAS #AlienProbe #InterstellarComet #UFO #AviLoeb #FaithAndScience #AngelsAndAliens #CosmicVisitor #JWST #SpaceMystery #UAP #Oumuamua #SpiritualityAndScience Learn more about your ad choices.

Recent government hearings have made UFOs and aliens front-page news, and now a Catholic priest says he'd baptize extraterrestrials if asked. But I think before agreeing so quickly to the idea, this priest needs to be asking some really big theological and spiritual questions.SERMON TRANSCRIPT…https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-alienbaptismWeird Darkness® and Church Of The Undead™ are trademarked.

Forestil dig at kigge op på en stjerneklar nattehimmel. Hver eneste stjerne, galakse og støvsky, du kan se – alt det, vi kalder almindeligt stof – udgør kun en lille brøkdel af, hvad universet i virkeligheden består af. Langt størstedelen af vores kosmos er en usynlig og ukendt substans, en slags kosmisk klister, hvis tyngdekraft holder galakserne samlet og former universets struktur. Det er det vi kalder mørkt stof. Og denne gang skal vi blandt andet se nærmere på nogle af de forskellige måder man forsøger at observere det dér mærkelige noget på, når nu vi ikke kan se det direkte. Det er lektor Sofie Marie Koksbang fra Syddansk Universitet, der fortæller. I de korte nyheder vender vi (igen) 3I/ATLAS, hvide dværgstjerner og en gammel supernova. Lyt med

Chad Peets is one of the greatest sales leaders and recruiters of the last 25 years. From 2018 to 2023, Chad was a Managing Director at Sutter Hill Ventures. Chad has worked with the world's best CEOs and CROs to build world-class go-to-market organizations. Chad is currently a member of the Board of Directors for Lacework and Luminary Cloud and on the boards of Clumio and Sigma Computing. He previously served as a board member for Astronomer, Transposit, and others. He was an early-stage investor at Snowflake, Sigma, Observe, Lacework, and Clumio. In Today's Discussion with Chad Peet's We Discuss: 1. You Need a CRO Pre-Product: Why does Chad believe that SaaS companies need a CRO pre-product? Should the founder not be the right person to create the sales playbook? What should the founder look for in their first CRO hire? Does any great CRO really want to go back to an early startup and do it again? 2. What Everyone Gets Wrong in Building Sales Teams: Why are most sales reps not performing? How long does it take for sales teams to ramp? How does this change with PLG and enterprise? What are the benchmarks of good vs great for average sales reps? How do founders and VCs most often hurt their sales teams and performance? 3. How to Build a Hiring Machine: What are the single biggest mistakes people make when hiring sales reps and teams? Are sales people money motivated? How to create comp plans that incentivise and align? Why does Chad believe that any sales rep that does not want to be in the office, is not putting their career and development first? Why is it harder than ever to recruit great sales leaders today? 4. Lessons from Scaling Sales at Snowflake: What are the single biggest lessons of what worked from scaling Snowflake's sales team? What did not work? What would he do differently with the team again? What did Snowflake teach Chad about success and culture and how they interplay together?

In this week's episode of the B2B Marketing Podcast in association with Brands2Life, Kavita Singh, Head of Growth Solutions Content spoke with Tim Corcoran, Managing Director, Marketing & Creative Services, Brands2Life and Sally Jacobs, Senior Director of Social Media & Advocacy, Qlik. The episode kicks off with the trio discussing the current competitive landscape of B2B marketing, underscoring why it's difficult to stand out and what brands can do to feel original. They highlight the relationship between brand and demand, emphasizing the need for both authenticity and strategic partnerships while also addressing the role of AI in enhancing creativity. If that wasn't enough, they also touch on why breaking down organizational silos and focusing on customer needs can lead to memorable campaigns that really resonate. And if you're looking for top-tier brand activation examples, they touch on Astronomer and New Balance's ability to create compelling stories while also incorporating humor.

It's always a pleasure to welcome a bush trainer to the podcast. Our guest this week is Stephen Lee who chips away diligently from his Ballina base season after season with consistent results.  He's currently ably assisted by son Jordan with whom he'll soon form an official partnership. Lee has posted 850 winners since his  solo career began in 1986, and has two NRRA training premierships on his CV.  Stephen rotates his horses between a dual barn complex on Ballina racecourse, and a nearby 60 acre property which gives him access to a pristine stretch of  beach. Whenever one of the team warrants an opportunity in a metropolitan environment, he heads to Eagle Farm or Doomben just two hours away. He rarely tackles the arduous road trip to Sydney although he did venture to Randwick on November 1st with smart sprinter The Astronomer. This podcast was recorded twenty four hours before The Astronomer raced. Stephen talks of the easy access to Brisbane tracks as opposed to the marathon trip to Sydney. He acknowledges son Jordan's entry into the NSW training ranks and says he's looking forward to their proposed partnership. Stephen talks about the luxury of being able to give horses a complete change of environment at his beachside property. He says the new routine works wonders with highly strung horses. He talks about the large paddock set aside for retired racehorses or horses who've fallen on hard times. His partner Amanda would have even more if space allowed. The trainer talks about his two NRRA premierships. In winning the first one he unseated long time incumbent John Shelton. Stephen looks back on his early education under the tutelage of his late father Bruce. He says Bruce was a capable racehorse trainer but was best known as an all rounder constantly called upon to sort out other people's troublesome horses. He talks of his father's early association with iconic trainer Maurice McCarten. The Ballina horseman pays tribute to his elderly Mum. Stephen says his early aspirations to become a jockey were quickly negated by increasing weight. He talks of a brief flirtation with the harness racing sport. Stephen has vivid recollections of his first training win on the defunct White ParK track at Scone. He talks of a brief training stint at Coffs Harbour and a subsequent move to Ballina, a move he hasn't regretted. Stephen pays tribute to daughter Maddison who was his valued trackwork rider for a number of years. Maddison put a lot of time into Anton En Avant, a prolific winner for the Lee stable. As a yearling Anton En Avant appeared unlikely to ever make it to the races.  He talks about the gelding's amazing race record which included a win in the Gr 3 Chairman's Hcp  at Doomben.  Stephen talks of former jockey Cassandra Schmidt who won a string of races on Anton En Avant. The trainer pays tribute to several handy horses who've flown the flag for the Ballina stable over the years - Zoukina, Lasting Kiss, Minassi, Felix Trinidad, Song Time, Bavosa, and Espiritu. Stephen tells us more about his current apprentice Siabh Wrigley who still has a number of trial rides to complete before gaining her licence to ride in races. The signs are promising. It's a laid back chat with a top country horseman.

If you've ever felt stuck, unclear about your purpose, or like you're living someone else's life, your birth chart might hold the answers.Jill Brown is a former NASA research scientist turned evolutionary astrologer, and she approaches the stars the same way she approached her research: with precision, pattern recognition, and proof. In this episode, she makes the case for astrology as "cosmic weather," a forecasting tool that's been studied and observed for centuries.We dive deep into why most people are reading their charts wrong and why your sun sign might not actually be your dominant energy. Jill explains what your South Node reveals about past life karma and the patterns you're here to break, and how to tell if you're meant for visible, public leadership versus private, inner healing work. We also explore the major planetary transits happening right now that are creating massive shifts in 2025-2026, why some people physically need beauty to function (yes, it's actually in your chart), and the real stories of children remembering past lives. Whether you're astrology-obsessed or completely skeptical, this episode offers a fresh, grounded perspective that might just change how you see yourself and your path forward.Jill Brown's Website:https://www.eightstarsastrology.com/Jill on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/eightstarsastrology/Connect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com

In 1908, a space rock the size of a small office building exploded above Siberia, flattening hundreds of square miles of forest. In 1975, several “fireballs” blazed across the night, and instruments on the Moon recorded several impacts. And 30 years later, scientists saw an impact on the Moon. These events might all be related to the Taurid meteor shower, which is underway now. The shower is created by two objects – a comet and an asteroid. They might be the remnants of a larger body that broke apart thousands of years ago. The debris might include larger rocks ranging from the size of boulders to mountains. The material is spaced across a long, wide path. Earth flies through this path twice a year. We sweep up some of the debris – mostly small bits of dust and rock. The amount of material varies from year to year, depending on which part of the stream we pass through. Right now, we’re in a thin region. In 1975, we passed through a denser part, producing more fireballs. It’s been suggested that when we pass through denser parts of the stream, we might encounter some of the bigger rocks, which could cause major damage if they hit us. Astronomers will be watching during the next crossings through dense regions, in the next decade. For now, the Taurids are at their best the next few nights. The Moon will wash out almost all the meteors. But a few fireballs might shine through. Script by Damond Benningfield

I denne uge skal vi blandt andet høre om japanske rummissioner, om rumskrot og om rumtornadoer, og i vores hovedhistorie sætter vi fokus på årets Rumkonference, hvor især forsvar og europæisk selvstændighed fyldte allermest blandt oplægsholderne – der måske glemte forskningen lidt i farten... Der bliver også tid til at vende private rumteleskoper, høre Tina forklare hvordan magnetfelter vender, og dele et par bonus-links blandt andet til sites hvor man kan leje sin ind på teleskoper i Spanien og Texas.

Does the earth's ecological crisis reveal a universal problem? Astronomers have recently detected thousands of exoplanets circling nearby stars. It seems highly unlikely that none of the other countless planets in the universe has evolved a biosphere with intelligent life. Wouldn't their own technological evolution tend to produce the same bottleneck? What would that mean for us?

Deborah Cartwright obtained a BA Honours degree in Modern Continental Philosophy andPhenomenology and studied esoteric psychology through the Theosophical Society. Becoming apublished author on self-development and esoteric psychology in 1999, with her non-fiction bookThe Inward Revolution, published by Warner, Little Brown and co-authored with popular novelistStorm Constantine. The book stands as a unique perspective of alternative psychology, self-help and modern existentialism.She is best known in the UK for her research with authors Andrew Collins, Graham Phillips and Paul Weston, and her work has directly contributed to many of their books on the genre of earthmysteries, forbidden archaeology and historical investigation. A key figure in the alternativearchaeology community since the 1990's, Debbie provided inspiration and foundational ideas forAndrew's books The Circlemakers, The Second Coming and From the Ashes of Angels. Thiscollaborative research into the prehistoric origins of civilisation continued with her involvement inhis books, Denisovan Origins in 2019, and Origins of the Gods in 2022, co-authored with Dr GregLittle.Debbie is also known for her extensive work on the Rosslyn Chapel Project between 1992 to 2003 on the subject of the mystical beliefs and practices of the Knights Templar and the Sinclair family for key figures of the project. They included Niven Sinclair, author Stephen Prior, historian Robert Brydon and the then curator of the chapel, Judith Fiskin.As an exponent of the ‘Questing' movement since 1990, Debbie defines it as the unique practice ofinteracting with ancient sites and the natural landscape to retrieve lost historical knowledge, solvemysteries, or effect change in the landscape and within the self. Using esoteric techniques such asmeditation and mental visualisation, ‘questing' is a physical pursuit encompassing many differentspiritual, esoteric and occult disciplines to obtain knowledge of the past.Debbie's current work focuses on research into animism and the philosophy behind prehistoricshamanism, offering a unique perspective on the question of ‘what the ancients were up to'.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

An astronomer who's spent his career searching for alien life explains why he's confident extraterrestrials exist throughout the universe—yet remains skeptical that any UFO sighting has ever been proof of their visit to Earth.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: If you ever attended grade school in the United States, you no doubt are more than familiar with the Mayflower and why the ship is so famous. But what you were not told in that classroom is about the mystery that took place on that voyage… on that very ship... that went unsolved for over three hundred years. (The Mayflower Mystery) *** June O'Brien has a problem. She loved toast… and her toast did a really good job of toasting bread. So what was the problem? Well… it appears her toaster was possessed by the devil. (June O'Brien's Satanic Toaster) *** It was June 1969, and less than a week from his seventh birthday; Dennis went camping with his dad, brother and grandpa for Father's Day weekend. The next day they bumped into some other Father's Day campers with kids and they all became quick friends. But while the kids were playing in the tall grass, Dennis disappeared… and was never seen again. (What Happened To Dennis Martin?) *** But first – how can you believe in extraterrestrials, but not be convinced of alien spacecraft? That's the argument being made by one well-known astronomer.

A star in the constellation Cetus brightens and fades dramatically every 11 months. At its brightest, it’s fairly easy to see. At its faintest, it’s visible only through a telescope. Because of that change, a 17th-century astronomer called the star Mira – from the Latin word for “wonderful.” The star changes because it pulses in and out like a beating heart. Mira’s in the final stages of its red-giant phase of life. Its core is no longer producing nuclear reactions. Instead, it’s fusing hydrogen and helium in thin shells around the core. Mira’s outer layers are puffed up by radiation from the shells. At the maximum, that inflates the star to about 400 times the diameter of the Sun. That’s also when its surface is coolest and faintest. As the outer layers cool, they fall inward, making the surface hotter and brighter. At minimum, the star is about 330 times the Sun’s diameter. Each time it puffs up, Mira loses a little of the gas at its surface. Within the next million years or so, it’s likely to expel all the gas in its outer layers. That will leave only its hot but dead core – a white dwarf. Astronomers have discovered thousands of stars like Mira. And many others will undergo the same phase, including the Sun – in about six billion years. Mira climbs into view in the east by 8:30 or 9. But it’s in the “fading” part of its cycle, so you need a telescope to see it. Script by Damond Benningfield

Algol does something amazing. Every 2.9 days, the star fades to just one-third of its usual brightness. In centuries past, the stars were thought to be unchanging. A star that changed so blatantly was a bit scary. So it was given a name to match: “Algol” comes from an Arabic phrase that means “head of the demon.” But the star’s odd behavior isn’t scary it all – Algol fades as the result of eclipses. The system consists of three stars. Two of them form a tight binary. The members of the binary orbit each other once every 2.9 days. We see the system edge-on, so the two stars eclipse each other. One star is much brighter than the other. When the fainter star crosses in front of it, the system fades dramatically. When the bright star covers up the faint one, though, the difference is tiny – much too subtle to see with the eye alone. Astronomers have cataloged hundreds of eclipsing binaries. And the eclipses are important. They reveal the relative sizes and masses of the two stars, details about their orbit, and more. So there’s nothing to fear from these up-and-down star systems. Algol is low in the northeast at nightfall, in Perseus. It should be at its brightest tonight. The faint part of its cycle will happen during daylight for the next few cycles. It’ll be visible during nighttime later in the month. Sometimes, a star can change brightness all on its own, and we’ll have more about that tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

There is always so much discussion about what is an astrologer v.s an astronomer. ONLY an Astrologer will draw-up horoscopes. They certainly will use astronomy to do that but the thing called a horoscope can ONLY be interpreted by an Astrologer. This week we are covering the chart of Sophia Brahe who learned astronomy AND Astrology and could draw-up horoscopes ...she also helped discover a new star. Philip Graves https://www.astrolearn.com/ The charts for today are located at https://astromary.libsyn.com/ Book mentioned Astrology from Ancient Babylon to the Present https://amzn.to/479vQly Sophia Brahe Virgo Asc, Sun Virgo first house, Moon Taurus 9th house   Transits for death of first husband   (Possible)  Transits for her own death, correct year but no record of day or month Only considering outer-planets

Venus doesn’t have any moons. But it does share its orbit around the Sun. Astronomers have discovered 20 asteroids known as “co-orbitals,” but there could be many more. These big space rocks follow roughly the same path as Venus. But they won’t stay in that lane forever. And when they leave it, they could threaten Earth. These objects are nudged along by the gravity of Venus and the Sun. They generally stay well ahead of or behind Venus. Only one follows exactly the same orbit as the planet. The others move in and out a bit, getting closer to the Sun, then moving farther away. Over the long term, though, their orbits aren’t stable, so they can break free and head elsewhere. A recent study found that of the 20 known objects, six could threaten Earth within the next 12,000 years. And three of them are especially dangerous. All three are at least a thousand feet in diameter, so they could cause major damage if they hit our planet. A study also found that there could be many more of these Venus groupies. They stay so close to the Sun in our sky that they’re hard to see through the solar glare. And they move quickly, making them even harder to find. But a new telescope in Chile might pick out some of them – helping us find potential threats far in advance. Look for Venus near the Moon in the dawn sky tomorrow. It’s the brilliant “morning star,” so you can’t miss it. Tomorrow: an autumn meteor shower. Script by Damond Benningfield

Here at MinistryWatch, we often report on organizations in crisis. One of the things that continues to interest me about these situations is the way Christian organizations respond to these crises. Some of them do a good job of staying in front of the crisis, or at least attempting to do so. But others are either caught by surprise, don't know what to do, or do the wrong thing. They seem to have forgotten the lessons of the Watergate scandal that happened more than 50 years ago. One of the key lessons from that era has become almost a cliché in the world of journalism and public relations. And that lesson is this: “It ain't the crime, it's the cover-up that will get you.” A case study in how to handle a PR crisis showed up a few months ago when the CEO of the technology company Astronomer was caught at a Coldplay concert with a woman who was not his wife. A “fan cam” video went viral, and the result was that CEO getting fired from his job. The incident ignited a national conversation about morality among leaders, as well as the appropriate way for an organization to handle such a crisis. Phil Cooke wrote about that. Phil has been on the program before, and he's become one of my “go to guys” when it comes to ministry leadership issues, especially when they concern media and communications. Phil Cooke is a working producer who spent many years in Hollywood. He also has a Ph. D. in theology.  He's the author of a half-dozen books on media and marketing and has been a contributor to Fast Company, Forbes, and The Huffington Post.  He is also a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences as well as the Producer's Guild of America. Here are some links I promised in today's program: For past episodes I've done with Phil, click here. To see Phil's website, click here. To read Phil's article on the Astonomer CEO, click here.

Astronomers have long predicted that the cloud forming chemical should be found in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs and gas giants. Silane had eluded detection until now. In this podcast, Dr. Aaron Meisner recounts how silane was discovered in the atmosphere of a brown dwarf nicknamed “The Accident”. The Accident (WISEA J153429.75-104303.3) was discovered by citizen scientist Dan Caselden, who was using an online program he built to find brown dwarfs in NEOWISE data.   Bios:  Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. Aaron Meisner is an astronomer at NSF NOIRLab affiliated with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, and also a 2025-2026 Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University. He specializes in building astronomical maps using large data sets at visible and infrared wavelengths.  These maps are used to search for moving celestial objects, like new neighbors to the Sun and hypothesized planets in the far reaches of our own solar system. To this end, Aaron co-founded the popular Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project and the Backyard Worlds: Cool Neighbors project.   Press release: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2526/?nocache=true& https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/images/pia24578-an-accidental-discovery/ https://aasnova.org/2021/07/02/observing-the-accident-an-enigmatic-brown-dwarf/   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

00:48 The stereotypes hidden in Internet imagesStereotyped assumptions about women's ages and their perceived job suitability are enhanced by Internet imagery, according to new research. A study of hundreds of thousands of online images shows that women appear younger than men. This stereotype extends to the jobs that people perceive women do, with men being associated with roles such as CEO or head of research, while women were linked to occupations like cook or nurse. The research shows that these biases have been embedded into the training data for AI models and could affect future hiring. The researchers caution that society is at risk of creating a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy' where these stereotypes shape the real world.Research Article: Guilbeault et al.News and Views: Distorted representations of age and gender are reflected in AI models13:24 Research HighlightsA very hungry planet — plus, how climate change is leading to larger trees in the Amazon.Research Highlight: ‘Rogue' planet is fastest-growing ever observedResearch Highlight: Trees of the Amazon are becoming even mightier15:49 Astronomers name their favourite exoplanetThirty years ago, astronomers announced the discovery of the first exoplanet around a Sun-like star, sparking a renewed passion into spotting these planets that lie beyond our Solar System.
