Nobody has ever filmed a real alien, so why do they all look the same? The grey skin, the black almond eyes, sixty years running. This week Laura Gommans is joined by historian Alexander Bartels, who curated LAB111's We Are Not Alone season, for a conversation about the gap between the aliens cinema gives us and the things people actually report seeing. On screen: greys, flying saucers, humanoid visitors. From the real records that Bartels studies: declassified military footage, radar data, government files from around the world there are mostly orbs and lights, unspectacular and almost impossible to film. So where did the grey come from? They follow the loop back to one telling case: The Bellero Shield, an episode of The Outer Limits that aired in February 1964, twelve days before Barney Hill, under hypnosis, drew the wrap-around-eyed alien that matched it almost exactly. Screen and sighting have been copying each other ever since, right up to a 2024 Pentagon report that blames film and television for what people believe they've seen. Has cinema ever shown us something genuinely other, or only ever redrawn ourselves?Get tickets to ⁠Disclosure Day⁠ @ LAB111Get tickets to ⁠We Are Not Alone⁠ @ LAB111 A LAB111 production.

The Book of Judges shows how the Israelites repeatedly fell into cycles of turning away from God during uncertain times, facing consequences, crying out for help, being rescued, and then repeating the same mistakes. Like them, we tend to reach for familiar solutions when life feels overwhelming, even when we know they're harmful. Breaking these cycles requires the courage to pause, examine our history honestly, and ask hard questions about our patterns. God walks with us through this difficult process of growth and transformation, providing the strength we need to choose differently.

Around one out of every ten women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. But it wasn't the news Lindsay Bartels was expecting to get at the age of twenty-six. Faced with her own mortality and the impact cancer treatment could have on her fertility, Lindsay had to deal with yet another revelation. She tested positive for the BRCA 1 gene meaning her risk of cancer was higher and this could be passed onto any children she might have. Lindsay, who shares her experience in her memoir Imogen in Waiting, speaks to Mihingarangi about the choices she had to make - including one that wasn't as clear cut as she expected.

Tech earnings and margin expansion continue to drive U.S. stocks to record highs, even as geopolitical risks and higher oil prices persist. Mary Ann Bartels explains why the rally remains resilient, highlights Alphabet (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) as underappreciated leaders, and points to improving market breadth beyond the Magnificent Seven. She also outlines how data center spending is lifting industrials like Caterpillar (CAT) and Eaton (ETN), with double‑digit earnings growth setting the stage for a potential S&P 500 run toward 10,000.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Lorand Bartels - Regional Trade Agreements by Audiovisual Library of International Law

Few time periods have been as defined by waves of monumental social change as the United States during the 1960s. Even today, almost sixty years later, the era is often depicted as a triumph of social progress. Yet, as Dr. Larry M. Bartels and Dr. Katherine J. Cramer show in The Politics of Social Change: From the Sixties to the Present Through the Eyes of a Generation (U Chicago Press, 2026), it was Americans' diverse reactions to the milestone events of the time—from the welcoming, to the fiercely resistant, to the largely oblivious—that planted the seeds of our current political turmoil. Their masterful analysis draws on a unique historical resource: the longest-running systematic tracking of individual Americans' political attitudes and behavior ever attempted. The study began in 1965 when researchers interviewed hundreds of high school students across the country and then periodically reinterviewed them over the next three decades. Bartels and Cramer supplement this historical record with in-depth interviews with dozens of the original students, painting a detailed picture of the generation's individual and collective political development. By tracing the responses of the Class of '65 to major events of their political lifetimes—including the Civil Rights and Women's Rights movements, the Vietnam War, the shifting role of religion, escalating economic inequality, immigration, and the rise of Donald Trump—Dr. Bartels and Dr. Cramer shed new light on the evolution of public opinion and the unsteady progress of American democracy. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

For Episode 110, Andrene and Joel view 1992's "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle". When the Bartels hire a live-in nanny for their two young children, they are unaware she has targeted them in retaliation for her husband's death.

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday, the crowds expected a military revolution against Rome, waving illegal palm branches as a symbol of political uprising. Instead, Jesus chose the path of love over force, demonstrating that God's kingdom operates through grace and compassion rather than coercion and control. His apparent defeat on the cross became the ultimate subversive victory over death and separation from God. Lasting change comes not through forcing outcomes, but through trusting in the power and love in God's timing.

Send a textWe chart Alan Bishop's leap from an established distillery to Old Homestead, how he rebuilt his stills, and why he's doubling down on experiential spirits. We taste and unpack Wickliffe Bell at 139.2 proof—peat-smoked oats, smoked apples, clean cuts, and a rest that polishes without erasing character.• Reinvention after French Lick and owning the build at Old Homestead• Pot still aging limits and why barrel babysitting matters• Labels that free creativity: whiskey from a bourbon mash• Making uncommon whiskey for common people as a guiding idea• The Old Homestead campus and “Alcohol Acres” destination• Wild Newton Stewart yeast capture and sense of place• Wycliffe Bell process, thumpers, peat, apples, and cask strength• Water, highballs, and choose-your-proof tasting• Upcoming Rise & Shine trio and barrel-rested sunshines• New absinthe and gin releases, plus where to find Alan's workThe best spirits don't just taste like a place—they tell you its story. We sit down with Alan Bishop for his record-setting return to talk about leaving a legacy brand, hand-building a new distillery at Old Homestead, and charting a bolder future where labels serve flavor, not the other way around. If you've ever wondered how a distiller reinvents without losing soul, this is a masterclass in making uncommon whiskey for common people.Alan opens up about the real arc of starting over: the existential first year, the stubborn stills, and the moment the “house character” finally reveals itself. He explains why pot still whiskey has a sweet spot, how to babysit barrels so wood doesn't swallow grain, and why he's transparent about using “whiskey distilled from a bourbon mash” to unlock honest flexibility—used oak, varied entry proofs, and subtle pre-distillation botanicals—while telling drinkers exactly what's in the glass.Then we dive into Wickliffe Bell, a cask-strength Black Forest Spirit at 139.2 proof that drinks shockingly gentle. Oats malted by Sugar Creek are peat-smoked with Irish turf, apples are smoked and loaded into a thumper, and the cut is clean like a white distillate before a short rest in new oak. The result is apple-oat warmth, soft phenolics that read like hickory-kissed smoke, and a choose-your-own-proof journey that blooms with a splash of water or lifts in a smoky highball. It's not bourbon. It's not scotch. It's a place in a bottle.We also map the broader canvas: Bartels & Bishop hitting distribution, limited Old Homestead bourbon kept intentionally scarce, the Rise & Shine trio (citrus, jasmine-chamomile, hickory bark) riding the thumpers, and a new absinthe that merges Old World method with New World botanicals. Along the way, Alan talks underdog grit, storytelling as craft, and building “Alcohol Acres”—a lakeside destination that pairs serious spirits with a weekend worth remembering.If you care about flavor, place, and where American whiskey goes next, press play.

Our guest this week hails from Tobias, Nebraska, a town of about 100 people. Evan Bartels is a singer-songwriter who with his 2017 debut, 'The Devil, God & Me,' burst onto the national scene. More recently, Bartels has expanded his audience with the release of his EP, 'To Make You Cry,' recorded after relocating to Nashville and reflecting on a period of personal upheaval and renewal.  Bartels has toured with American Aquarium, The White Buffalo, and John Moreland; he records for MCA/Universal; and he's performed at Mile of Music, AmericanaFest, and the C2C Festival. 'No Depression' calls him "a haunting new presence in Americana," while Americana Highways praises his "unvarnished, soul-bearing songwriting." 'Glide Magazine' notes his "ability to turn bruised experience into stark, resonant beauty."  I caught up with Evan Bartels a few months ago for The Working Songwriter to hear about his musical journey so far.

Life often feels overwhelming, just as it did for young Mary when the angel Gabriel appeared with life-changing news. Before delivering his announcement, Gabriel called Mary highly favored and told her to rejoice. He didn't promise to change her difficult circumstances, but highlighted the joy already present because she was beloved by God. We can become highlighters of joy for others by truly noticing people, speaking encouragement out loud, and bringing moments of lightness to their days. This doesn't mean ignoring real problems, but helping people see goodness and possibilities they may have lost sight of when life became too much to handle.
