Title: Sobriety - Another Non-AA Path Episode OverviewAfter a quick shoutout to a new listener in Bangladesh, Mike and Glenn dive into a candid conversation about the diverse paths to recovery. While AA works miraculously for many, this episode highlights that it isn't the only way to get sober. They sit down with Dean Newcomb, a certified CCR recovery coach celebrating 18 years of sobriety, to discuss his unique, non-AA journey. Facing rural isolation and an unwelcoming initial meeting, Dean built his own customized program rooted in a direct, personal relationship with his higher power—bypassing the "middleman" of rigid religious expectations. Key Highlights & TakeawaysReligion vs. Spirituality: The discussion breaks down the vital distinction between man-made religious rules (the "purple robe people") and cultivating a genuine relationship with a creator. Dean shares how finding God in nature, rather than a church basement, became the cornerstone of his early recovery.The Shift from Pain to Fulfillment: Early sobriety is often driven by the immediate need to avoid pain and consequences. However, as Glenn, Mike, and Dean all note, long-term recovery is sustained by a desire for more out of life. Sobriety isn't just about stopping the bad; it's about actively filling the void with family, education, and genuine experiences.Advice for the Newcomer: Dean outlines three actionable steps for anyone currently struggling:1. Get Honest: Completely admit to yourself that you have lost control. 2. Connect Higher: Begin building a relationship with your higher power.3. Speak Up: Ask for help. Even if you can't get to a meeting, find just one person willing to listen to your story. Guest InformationDean is a certified CCR recovery coach and life coach specializing in helping people who need flexible recovery programs that fit into demanding lives. Listeners can connect with him and read his story on LinkedIn. or at his website:
River systems around the world are under stress from various factors ranging from pollution, to agriculture, to extractive industries. In some parts of the world there are regulations to help protect rivers, but in a lot of cases these are just preventative measures for a system already seriously degraded. Another way to protect rivers which has been receiving attention is to give them legal rights, like those we associate with being a person. These rights could include the right to flow freely and the right to regenerate. Corporations have long been recognised as legal persons and increasingly this has been extended to environmental entities. There are different pathways to secure legal personhood, from changing a country's constitution, to changing local law or to implementing a new ruling on an existing law, but as to whether any of these provide protection in practise, often depends on the way humans respond to the river. If a river can have rights and responsibilities, could they in turn face legal action from humans for failing to meet their own legal duties? Should rivers have personhood?

Home Church QuestionsRead Mark 1:14-28“The Kingdom of God is at hand.” (1:15)1. The “Kingdom of God” was at hand because the King was present. What does this truth mean for you today and tomorrow?“Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.” (1:17)2. When did you get serious about your walk with Christ? Tell the story of when you decided to accept Jesus as your Savior. Was there a different time when you decided to follow Him as His disciple?“…astonished at His teaching”; “…amazed…the demons obeyed.” (1:22,27)3. Do you find yourself more captivated and intrigued by the powerful teaching of Jesus or the powerful works of Jesus?4. What is the difference between “being amazed” and actually “following”? “Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere.” (1:28)5. Why did the news spread? What lesson can we learn from this? What steps can I take to make it real?“Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (James 1:22)6. What did you learn about God in this passage? How does this affect you?7. How are you encouraged or challenged by this passage?8. How will you respond to God this week? Missions FocusUPG FOCUS: The Kalu in BangladeshThe Kalu are a Muslim people group in Bangladesh with a long history in farming and traditional oil production. They follow Sunni Islam, and many rely on folk spiritual practices for guidance and protection. Although Scripture and gospel resources are available in their language, there are no known believers there. Pray that the Holy Spirit would draw the Kalu to Jesus, raise up disciple-makers from among them, and use both practical care and the gospel to reveal Christ's love.

In our recent conversation about Protecting Workers? Crisis, COVID-19 and South Asia, the editors Kanchana N. Ruwanpura and Wilfried Swenden reflect on the need to move beyond treating the pandemic as a singular, isolated shock. Our discussion reflected on the deeper mechanics of knowledge production, how we reflect on crisis beyond its immediate occurrence, how we conceptualize South Asia today, and the process of bringing such a dynamic volume together. A central theme was the necessity of examining crisis as a revealing, prolonged condition rather than a temporary disruption. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed pre-existing structural vulnerabilities across Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Theorizing through this moment meant examining how state strategies and worker realities collided when formal safety nets faltered, forcing us to rethink South Asia not merely as a fixed geographic region, but as a shared space of cascading socio-economic pressures and labor struggles. While this volume traces state policy and institutional shifts, the core strength of the volume lies in highlighting the resourcefulness and claim-making capacities of workers fighting for justice. Assembling these regional perspectives provides a critical blueprint for rethinking state-society relations, labor rights, and collective action in post-pandemic South Asia.

CVS Health operates one of healthcare's largest consumer platforms, with businesses spanning health insurance, pharmacy benefits, retail pharmacy, care delivery and digital channels. This creates a rare opportunity to understand the full journey people navigate as they seek care, fill prescriptions, manage coverage and work to stay healthy. The company's overarching goal is not simply to improve each touchpoint. It is to remove the fragmentation that forces patients to piece care together on their own across multiple channels and organizations.In this episode of Healthcare is Hard, Keith Figlioli talked to CVS Health's head of enterprise customer experience, insights and innovation, Sri Narasimhan, to learn how the company uses customer signals, AI, and agentic twins to make healthcare more proactive and consumer-centered.Sri brings an unusually broad background to this challenge. He worked in Bangladesh and India on tuberculosis control, HIV initiatives and public health during college, but then decided to branch out so he could ultimately bring a more diverse skillset back to the healthcare industry. He started an economic consulting firm before going to business school. Then he joined GE, where he learned about commercial functions and consumer value. After GE, he worked at the tech company Medallia, where he sharpened skills around speed of innovation, and then moved to Wells Fargo where he worked as head of customer experience for branch banking, learning how to operate in a highly regulated environment.In 2021, Sri joined CVS Health where his work now sits at the intersection of consumer strategy and AI. During this interview, Sri shared his vast knowledge and experience to discuss topics including:Navigating bureaucracy. Sri points out that patients do not benchmark healthcare against other health plans, pharmacies or health systems. They compare it with the simple experiences they have everywhere else. He says most people want answers to four questions: Is it covered? What will it cost? When can I get it? And can I trust the answer? Healthcare's tendency to bury those questions in process and bureaucracy is a major source of frustration that Sri is focused on addressing.AI versus primary care. Trust grows when people get something valuable, and Sri expects consumers to increasingly turn to AI for quick answers about symptoms, diagnoses and side effects as those tools become more useful and accurate. But for serious health issues, he believes the provider relationship will remain essential. AI may change the questions patients bring to clinicians – and which interactions require a clinician at all – but people will still want a trusted human when the stakes are high.Agentic twins revolutionizing consumer research. Sri calls this technology one of the most transformational capabilities he has seen because it allows CVS Health to simulate the reactions of roughly 150,000 individual consumers in minutes. Through consented interviews, behavioral data and other context, CVS Health built digital twins of actual consumers that simulate how they think and act. Instead of recruiting a new panel, running a focus group or launching a small pilot every time the company wants to test an idea, CVS can assemble the relevant population from its bank of agentic twins and pressure-test messages, choices and scenarios before going live. As Sri puts it, “I have 150,000 patients in the room with us."To hear Sri and Keith discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

Texas conservatives are taking their anti-Muslim crusade to a new level: questioning whether Islam should even count as a religion. Frank and Dan look at the effort to redefine religious freedom so Christianity gets ever-expanding protections while Muslim beliefs and practices can be dismissed as merely "cultural" and therefore fair game for government restriction. Elsewhere, a transgender wedding in Bangladesh triggers a police inquiry; Israel turns away a delegation of American Christians headed to meet Palestinians; a pardoned January 6 rioter takes his anti-Muslim crusade to Dearborn; Arizona's Supreme Court says a pastor's recorded confession to child abuse isn't protected by clergy privilege; churches accuse DHS of spying on congregations protecting immigrants; and Texas's Ten Commandments classroom mandate moves closer to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In this episode of Ecotextile Talks, host Philip Berman speaks to Niall Maplesden, Director of The Knowledge Nexus, about the potential unintended consequences of the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). Niall recently explored the issue in Ecotextile News, asking whether policies promoting durable clothing, repair, reuse and circular textiles could affect order volumes for garment factories and their supply chains. Drawing on more than 35 years in the textile industry, Niall explains why any reduction in production could be felt beyond brands and tier-one suppliers, by smaller subcontractors, informal garment workers and, further upstream, cotton farmers. The discussion looks at the need for 'a just transition' for the people producing the world's clothes. Niall argues that, if the circular economy creates new work in sorting, reuse, repair and textile recycling, that investment should not be concentrated only in Europe. It should also help create jobs and infrastructure in major textile-producing countries, including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, where the effects of changing demand may be most keenly felt. Key Topics Discussed: • The ESPR and durable clothing: How the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation could reshape textile and apparel design. • Circular fashion and consumption: Could repair, reuse, resale and longer-lasting garments affect demand for new clothing? • Garment workers and supply chains: Why subcontractors, informal workers and satellite factories may be particularly exposed to changes in order volumes. • Cotton and fibre production: How reduced demand for virgin fibres could affect cotton farmers and textile-producing regions. • Textile EPR: Whether Extended Producer Responsibility fees could help fund circular-economy infrastructure and transition support. • Responsible purchasing: The role of brands in maintaining stable, fair supplier relationships as the apparel industry changes. • A just transition: How the environmental benefits of sustainable textiles can be shared more fairly across global fashion supply chains. This episode is brought to you by our partner PICVISA a Spanish machine-vision company that builds AI‑driven optical sorting systems for waste, including dedicated solutions for textile sorting and recycling.

Australia wrapped up the Bangladesh series with a dominant innings-and-51-run victory in Mackay, but the two-day Test leaves plenty to discuss. Menners questions the quality of Australian pitches after another Test finished inside six sessions, while also assessing Australia's unresolved batting problems heading into South Africa. Mitchell Starc was the star with 10 wickets, Cameron Green continued to strengthen his case at No. 5, and Nathan Lyon bounced back with three wickets. Menners also looks at Shoriful Islam's outstanding 7-48, Bangladesh's historic series win in Darwin, and what Australia should do with its batting order for the South Africa tour.

What a day in Mackay! An extraordinary 18 wickets fell on the opening day of the second Test, with Mitchell Starc producing a devastating spell of 6-12 as Bangladesh were bowled out for just 64. But Australia couldn't capitalise. After getting themselves into a dominant position, the batting order collapsed yet again, with Shoriful Islam taking 6-35 and Australia stumbling to 8-165 at stumps. Cameron Green's unbeaten 51 and Steve Smith's 42 have given Australia a lead of 101, but Bangladesh have fought their way back into the contest. Menners looks at Starc's incredible performance, the concerns around Australia's batting, another failure for Marnus Labuschagne, Bo Webster's place in the side, the spicy Mackay pitch and whether Australia have left the door open for Bangladesh to turn this into a much closer Test.

Bangladesh stunned Australia by nine wickets in the first Test at Darwin, a result few saw coming.

Bangladesh, uno de los países más vulnerables del mundo a los ciclones, redujo drásticamente sus cifras de mortalidad en las últimas décadas gracias a un sistema comunitario de alerta temprana sostenido por miles de voluntarios locales dedicados. La diferencia entre la tragedia y la supervivencia resultó ser, en gran medida, una advertencia oportuna y verdaderamente bien recibida por la comunidad. Dios también envía advertencias antes de que la tormenta llegue por completo, a través de Su Palabra, de la conciencia personal o de personas que se atreven a hablar con honestidad. El Señor Jesús advirtió repetidamente sobre las consecuencias de ignorar la verdad, no para atemorizar a nadie, sino para proteger de verdad. Tal vez has recibido recientemente una advertencia que preferiste ignorar simplemente por incomodidad momentánea. Recibir corrección a tiempo no es debilidad espiritual; con frecuencia representa la diferencia exacta entre la ruina y la preservación completa. Así que, una advertencia recibida a tiempo puede salvar un pueblo entero. La Biblia dice en Proverbios 27:12: "El avisado ve el mal y se esconde; mas los simples pasan y llevan el daño". (RV1960).

Fazlur Rahman, a retired oncologist, is the author of The Temple Road, a richly evocative memoir about growing up in what was then East Pakistan, before it became Bangladesh. His second book, Our Connected Lives, chronicles several patients he cared for during his 35 years as a cancer doctor in West Texas – and his relationships with them in the rural region where he was the only oncologist. Fazlur is a gifted writer who became a beloved physician in a community that needed him. Fazlur also faced prejudice along the way, and his story is a reminder of how much America gains from those who come from seemingly far-off lands. It is an inspiration and illustration of humility, presence, compassion and joy in patient care.
Jeremy Zakis: Jeremy Zakis details the melodrama and unexpected struggles of the Australian cricket team during their series against Bangladesh in Darwin. Despite playing on home soil, the Australians fell significantly behind, leading to visible frustration and on-field tantrums. Zakis highlights an incident in which Mitchell Starc yelled at a Bangladeshi batter, as well as other players protesting rudely to umpires. He attributes the team's poor performance to Bangladesh's exceptional batting strength and their superior conditioning for Darwin's extreme humidity. Unlike the Australians, who are accustomed to dry heat, the Bangladeshi players thrived in these tropical conditions. Zakis characterizes this Bangladeshi squad as a black sheep whose performance has surprised everyone. He concludes that these bad days are a stark departure from the team's usual professionalism and raise concerns as they look ahead to the upcoming Ashes series. (2)

Mark Chapman is alongside former England captain Michael Vaughan, former England spinner Phil Tufnell discussing Bangladesh thrashing Australia, the new 'era' for England as they prepare for their Test Match against Pakistan and reflecting on the winners of The Hundred last weekend...
Three days after the final of the Hundred, England take on Pakistan for the first of three Tests. It means several England players have to rapidly turn their techniques and mindsets from lashing the white ball over the ropes (or trying to prevent it) to negotiating the red ball and bowling maidens. Simon Hughes, Simon Mann and Matt Prior consider how they will handle this transformation and what strategies Joe Root will adopt in his second stint as England captain. They also discuss curfews, Australia losing for their first time at home to Bangladesh and on the 100th anniversary of the legendary Jack Hobbs making an Ashes-seizing 100 at the Oval (on August 17th 1926) who is the greatest modern batsman they have seen.

Moving out of the family home can be a big first step at whatever age you do it. Paying bills, budgeting, shopping, and importantly cooking for yourself. In this programme Rumella Dasgupta asks what dishes you should be able to cook when you leave home for the first time.
