James W. Burley, APX Data Base/Report System James W. Burley is the programmer of Data Base/Report System, which was sold by Atari Program Exchange beginning with the Summer 1982 APX catalog. It was catalog number 20134 with a price of $22.95. APX sold it for about a year, through the Summer 1983 catalog. APX awarded Data Base/Report System first prize for new software in the "Business & Professional Applications/Personal Finance & Record Keeping" category: for that, James was awarded an Atari Star plaque and $2000 prize. (He received the plaque, but says he never received the money.) The software may have also been sold by Main Street Publishing. Here's what the APX catalog had to say: Data Base/Report System by James W. Burley Recommended for experienced data base users/Written in BASIC and machine language If you've ever used a data base manager on a large computer system, you'll appreciate the many features of DATA BASE/REPORT SYSTEM. This general-purpose system for ATARI 800 Home Computers creates and maintains records having up to ten units of information ("fields"), with a maximum field length of 100 characters and a maximum record length of 255 characters. The total number of records you can store varies with record key size, a key being the unique identifier for each record) and available computer memory. Generally, you can store about 1300 records having a five-character key on a system with 40K of memory. You use the main program to create a new file; add, update, and remove records; sort the file; and print reports. Auxiliary programs reorganize the data files to free unused diskette space; redefine the file by adding fields, modifying field sizes, or changing field headings; delete old files; and print special reports. ... These and other features make DATA BASE/REPORT SYSTEM a really versatile data base management system for your ATARI 800 Home Computer. REVIEW COMMENTS: You need some data base knowledge to use the program; it's a bit complex, but all the features are worthwhile. The print formatting and file reorganization features are very useful. The sort and search routines, written in assembly language, work quickly. In 1983, Antic magazine featured the program as one of the "Ten Best from APX". In 2024, Wade at the Inverse ATASCII podcast did a deep dive into Data Base/Report System: check the show notes for the link to that review, which includes dozens of screenshots, sample print output, and information about the database's file format. Wade gave the software a rating of 5 out of 8. As of this recording, the Atari community doesn't yet have a scan of the APX manual for Data Base/Report System: if you have a copy, let me know, or scan it and upload it to Internet Archive. The Main Street Publishing version — both disk and manual — are also not preserved. This interview took place on May 22, 2026.

Arthur Herman credits Vannevar Bush's "The Endless Frontier" manifesto with persuading FDR to fund basic scientific research through universities, laying the groundwork for Silicon Valley. This federal support enabled discoveries in information theory and microchip development, transforming the American economy. The evolution from massive mainframes like the IBM 360 to modern microchips illustrates the imaginative leap of founders who see opportunities where others see only current technology. (15)

There is a pattern that shows up again and again in low self worth — the pattern of over explaining, over justifying, and working overtime to convince people to treat you with basic decency. In today's episode, Celeste names it directly. Worthy people don't beg for respect. They don't audition for it. They don't negotiate for it. They simply expect it — and move accordingly when it isn't there. If you've been working too hard to earn treatment you should have been receiving freely, this one is going to land hard. Today's shift: Identify one place in your life where you've been negotiating for basic respect — and decide today that it's no longer up for negotiation.

A 42-year-old man walked into my office.Blood pressure: 165 over 100.His doctor had already written the prescription. He was sitting across from me, looked me in the eye, and said:“I don't want to just manage this. I want to fix it.”Four weeks later, his blood pressure was completely normal. No medication change. No direct blood pressure treatment.Because here's the thing — we never once directly treated his blood pressure.We treated the system that was producing it.That's what this episode is about.The Reframe That Changes EverythingMost people — and most conventional medical appointments — treat blood pressure like it is the problem. The number is high, so we lower the number. Done.But blood pressure is not the problem. It's a report card. It's your body's way of showing you — in a very measurable, very undeniable way — that something upstream has gone wrong.Think of it like the check engine light in your car. You don't put tape over it and drive off. You open the hood.So today, we're opening the hood.Before we do — let's make sure we're speaking the same language. Blood pressure is two numbers:* Systolic (top number): pressure when your heart contracts and pushes blood out* Diastolic (bottom number): pressure when your heart is relaxing between beatsConventionally, 130/80 or above is classified as Stage 1 hypertension. A lot of people are sitting in that zone, being told to “keep an eye on it.”That advice isn't enough. Something created that pressure. And until we find out what, we're managing a symptom — not solving a problem.The 6 Root Drivers of High Blood PressureFrom a functional and metabolic medicine standpoint, there are six primary root drivers I look at when someone walks in with elevated blood pressure. Almost every time, it's not one of these in isolation — it's a combination.1. Insulin ResistanceThis is the big one. And it is criminally underdiagnosed.Here's the mechanism: when insulin is chronically elevated — from too much processed food, too much sugar, not enough movement — the kidneys start holding onto sodium. More sodium means more water in the bloodstream. More volume means more pressure. Basic physics.On top of that, high insulin activates your sympathetic nervous system — your fight-or-flight response — which causes blood vessels to constrict. Less room for the same amount of blood? Pressure goes up.Here's what makes this especially tricky: your blood sugar can look completely normal on a standard lab panel, and you can still have significant insulin resistance. That's why I don't just check fasting glucose. I look at fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and when needed, a glucose tolerance test with insulin levels drawn at multiple time points.2. Chronic InflammationInflammation damages the endothelium — the delicate inner lining of your blood vessels. When it's damaged, vessels lose their flexibility. They can't dilate and constrict properly.And a key molecule called nitric oxide — your body's natural blood vessel relaxer — drops off significantly when the endothelium is inflamed.Less nitric oxide, stiffer vessels, higher pressure. Every time.I test this with high-sensitivity CRP, homocysteine, and sometimes oxidized LDL. These aren't on a standard panel, but they tell me everything about what's happening inside those vessels.3. HPA Axis Dysregulation (Chronic Stress)Your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis — your stress response system — when chronically activated, keeps you pumping out cortisol and adrenaline. Both cause vasoconstriction. Both tell your kidneys to hold onto sodium. Both keep your heart rate elevated.Your body was designed to activate this system in short bursts — run from a predator, deal with a crisis. It was never designed to do this 24 hours a day in response to emails, traffic, and financial pressure.But that's the world most of us are living in. And for a lot of people, their blood pressure reflects it.4. Mineral DeficienciesMagnesium is the most important mineral almost nobody talks about in the context of blood pressure.It's a natural calcium channel blocker — and calcium channel blockers are literally one of the most prescribed blood pressure medications on the market.Magnesium helps blood vessels relax. It regulates the sodium-potassium pump in your cells. When it's low — and estimates suggest 60 to 80% of Americans are suboptimal — vessels stay tight.Potassium works hand-in-hand with magnesium and sodium to regulate fluid balance and vascular tone. I look at sodium-to-potassium ratios, not just absolute numbers, because that ratio matters enormously for cardiovascular regulation.5. Sleep Deprivation & Circadian DisruptionYour blood pressure is supposed to dip 10 to 20 percent during sleep. This is called nocturnal dipping, and it's when your cardiovascular system gets its nightly repair window.When you're not sleeping enough — or sleep quality is poor — that dip doesn't happen. Your heart works overtime, around the clock. Over weeks and months and years, that creates a chronically elevated baseline.Obstructive sleep apnea is a massive, underdiagnosed contributor here. If you wake up tired, snore loudly, or wake with morning headaches, please get tested. The connection between sleep apnea and hypertension is direct and well-established.Poor sleep also elevates cortisol and inflammatory markers — feeding every other driver on this list simultaneously.6. Mitochondrial DysfunctionThis one is underappreciated even in functional medicine circles.Your mitochondria — the energy factories inside every cell — are responsible for generating the ATP that powers your heart muscle, your vascular smooth muscle, everything. When they're dysfunctional — from chronic stress, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, or oxidative damage — cellular energy production drops.Your cardiovascular system then has to compensate by working harder. Blood pressure creeps up as a downstream consequence of your cells simply not having enough energy to function efficiently.We'll come back to this when we get to the quantum biology piece — because this is where it gets really interesting.This is the part most people have never heard anywhere. Lean in.Quantum biology examines the role of light, water, electrons, and quantum mechanical processes inside living cells. When it comes to blood pressure specifically, three things stand out.Light and the MitochondriaYour mitochondria are not just calorie-burning machines. They are fundamentally light-responsive.Near-infrared light — the kind emitted by the sun in the morning and evening, and also by incandescent and red light sources — directly stimulates cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.When properly stimulated by light, mitochondria produce more ATP, more structured water, and more nitric oxide. There's that word again — nitric oxide. The natural vasodilator. The thing that keeps blood vessels relaxed and flexible.When people stop getting morning sunlight and spend their entire day under blue-shifted artificial light, mitochondrial function degrades. Nitric oxide drops. Blood vessels stiffen. Pressure rises.This isn't fringe science. There is solid, published research connecting light exposure — particularly morning sunlight — to cardiovascular and blood pressure outcomes.Circadian BiologyYour body has a master clock in a region of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Nearly every cell in the body has its own peripheral clock synchronized to it.Blood pressure has a natural circadian rhythm. It should be lower at night, begin rising about an hour before waking, peak in the late morning, and modulate through the day. When circadian rhythm is disrupted — by artificial light at night, irregular eating, shift work, or poor sleep — that rhythm breaks down.A disrupted circadian clock is directly linked to hypertension. The mechanisms involve cortisol timing, aldosterone regulation, and inflammatory gene expression — all of which influence vascular tone.This is why I ask every patient about their light environment. When do you go outside? What does your bedroom look like at night? What time do you eat your last meal? These feel like lifestyle questions. They are cardiovascular questions.Structured Water and Vascular FunctionResearcher Gerald Pollack at the University of Washington has done groundbreaking work on what he calls the fourth phase of water — EZ water, or exclusion zone water. This is a gel-like, structured form of water that forms at hydrophilic surfaces, including the inner lining of blood vessels.EZ water is negatively charged and creates a kind of biological battery that powers cellular function and supports smooth, low-friction blood flow — essentially a lubrication layer inside your vascular system.What builds EZ water? Sunlight (particularly infrared), movement, grounding, and proper hydration with mineralized water.What degrades it? Dehydration, toxic load, poor light environment, chronic EMF exposure.When the vascular lining is not properly hydrated at this structured level, blood viscosity changes, endothelial function suffers, and blood pressure goes up.The bottom line: your blood pressure is not just a plumbing problem. It's a biological energy problem. And the inputs that drive cellular energy — light, water, minerals, sleep, movement, stress — are the same inputs that drive blood pressure.What This All Means: A Quick RecapHere's the picture pulled together:* Blood pressure is a symptom, not the root problem* The six root drivers are: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, HPA axis dysregulation, mineral deficiencies (especially magnesium and potassium), sleep deprivation and circadian disruption, and mitochondrial dysfunction* Applied kinesiology provides a way to assess how structural and neurological interference contributes to sympathetic dominance and vascular dysregulation* From a quantum biology perspective, your light environment, your circadian rhythm, and the quality of structured water in your vascular system directly influence how your vessels function and how your cells produce energy* When you address these upstream drivers — as we did with Marcus — the blood pressure number takes care of itself5 Things You Can Do TodayThese are not theoretical. Start here.1. Get morning sunlight — today. Within 30 to 60 minutes of waking, get outside and get natural light in your eyes and on your skin for at least 10 to 20 minutes. No sunglasses. This sets your circadian clock, starts stimulating mitochondrial function, and triggers nitric oxide production in the skin. It costs nothing.2. Cut refined carbohydrates and added sugars for two weeks. Not forever — just try it. This single change drops fasting insulin in most people within days. Lower insulin means less sodium retention, less sympathetic nervous system activation, and lower blood pressure. No prescription required.3. Start magnesium supplementation. Magnesium glycinate or magnesium malate — 300 to 400 mg in the evening. This is one of the safest, most evidence-backed interventions for vascular health. It supports vessel relaxation, improves sleep quality, and aids mitochondrial energy production. Ask your practitioner about your specific dose.4. Treat sleep like a clinical intervention. Because it is. Target 7 to 9 hours. Create a dark, cool sleeping environment. Eliminate screens 60 to 90 minutes before bed. Blue light at night suppresses melatonin, disrupts circadian rhythm, and keeps your nervous system in sympathetic mode. If you have signs of sleep apnea — waking up tired, loud snoring, morning headaches — get tested. This is non-negotiable.5. Prioritize resistance training. 30 minutes, three to four times a week. Strength training improves insulin sensitivity, builds mitochondrial density, supports nitric oxide production, and reduces arterial stiffness. Muscle is metabolic medicine.Ready to Go Deeper?If you read this and thought “this sounds like me” — or you've been told your blood pressure is borderline and you're not sure what to do about it — the next step is a conversation.I offer a free 45-minute Metabolic Audit Call where we look at what's actually driving your numbers — your symptoms, your history, your labs — and map out the highest-leverage moves for your specific situation.Spots are limited each week.Until next time — Be well.

In this episode of Wild Medicine, Dr. Michelle and Dr. Tara delve into the critical role of inflammation in health, particularly its impact on weight and chronic diseases. They discuss the differences between acute and chronic inflammation, the significance of visceral fat, and the importance of body literacy in understanding one's health. The conversation also addresses common myths about inflammation and emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to nutrition and lifestyle changes to manage inflammation effectively. Takeaways Inflammation is a vital part of the body's response to injury and infection. Chronic inflammation is linked to many chronic diseases and weight gain. Visceral fat contributes to inflammation and complicates weight loss efforts. Superfoods are beneficial but cannot replace a balanced diet. Understanding body signals is crucial for managing inflammation. Lifestyle factors like sleep and stress significantly affect inflammation levels. Not all inflammation is bad; it's about regulation, not elimination. Individual responses to foods vary; not everyone has the same sensitivities. Basic nutrition and lifestyle changes are foundational for health. Chronic inflammation can disrupt hunger signals and appetite regulation.

At 8pm one night I got that look in my eyes. The one my husband knows means I'm about to ride the wild donkey.By 4am I'd sent an email every hour, illustrated cartoons to go inside them, invented offers I'd never sold before, and slapped a 24-hour expiry on every single one. I also let people email me their OWN offers at their own price. Total made in that 24 hours: just over $42,000.This episode is the full blow-by-blow. What I offered, what sold, what broke, and why I'd absolutely do it again.Who this is for:If you're a creative, neurodivergent business owner with twelve half-planned launches in your notebook and a nagging feeling that you need a proper strategy before you're allowed to sell anything, this one's for you. You don't need a funnel. You don't need a launch runway. You need permission to act on the wild idea while it's still hot.Topics covered:What "riding the wild donkey" actually means, and why people still talk about it 15 years onThe full list of offers I made (encouragograms, business audits, VIP days, 60% off Take Action Club)Letting my audience make ME offers, and how I decided yes or noDoing it all on PayPal links because setting up Kajabi properly would have killed the momentumThe Kajabi outage that hit in the final hours, and how we handled itWhy I don't track unsubscribesDecision fatigue, an inbox stuck at 86 emails, and needing a team who can run with chaosThe full revenue breakdownThe one offer that surprised me enough that I'm making it permanentKey insightsSpeed is a feature. The idea arrived at 8pm and was live within the hour. Waiting would have flattened it."Basic bitch" your systems when the alternative is not launching. I lost the Kajabi analytics and gained $42,000.A ticking 24-hour expiry does the persuading for you. No convincing required.Inviting people to name their own offer and their own price removed the ick from both sides. Some got a yes, some got a counter-offer, some got a no, and everyone stayed friends.Say no to discounting the thing that's already radically generous. The Academy stayed at full price all day.Things break in every launch. The checkout went down. I laughed, extended the deadline, and gave anyone who emailed us a 24-hour extension.Your team's tolerance for wild ideas is a hiring criteria, not a personality quirk. I've had assistants get cranky about unplanned launches. I need people who wake up delighted.Watch what people get unreasonably excited about. The annual Take Action Club option lit people up so much it's becoming a permanent offer.Fun is a business metric. Encouragograms recorded in the backyard and down by the river. Cat photos in the inbox. Offers to walk around an art gallery. That's the actual return.Links and resourcesGet on the mailing list so you don't miss the next party: leoniedawson.com/love-lettersFree illustrated Ride The Wild Donkey ebookUnicorn Biz & Life Academy: 100+ programs for $99 a yearTake Action Club: weekly Productivity Power Hours and monthly Biz Planning workshopsCourses mentioned: Sales Star, Money Manifesting & Multiple Streams of Income, Work Less Earn More, Midas Touch2026 My Brilliant Year goal workbooksStill keen on offering more in-person VIP days in Canberra.

What if trusting life doesn't mean trusting that everything will become stable, coherent, or reassuring? In this episode, Vanessa explores change as both a spiritual and psychological problem: why we confuse trust with continuity, why change can feel like abandonment, and what it means to stay in relationship with reality as it keeps moving. Through Octavia Butler's “God is Change,” Heraclitus, Buddhist impermanence, process theology, attachment theory, meaning-making research, and Jungian transformation, we look at the grief and freedom of releasing the fantasy that life's job is to preserve the forms we love. Trust is not certainty that everything will work out; it is the willingness to remain present with what is real as it changes form.For educational purposes only.

Before you turn your mood, crisis, or confusion into a spiritual mystery, check the basic things first.Did you sleep?Did you drink water?Did you eat?Did you clean the thing you keep stepping over?Did you tell the truth?Did you keep one small promise?In this episode of Idiot Mystic, I talk about how people often chase deep meditation, divine guidance, psychedelic healing, nervous system regulation, spiritual community, and purpose while ignoring the ordinary conditions that make clarity possible.This is not about dismissing real spiritual experiences. It is about respecting them enough to stop confusing exhaustion, avoidance, dehydration, clutter, caffeine, and broken promises with revelation.The basics are not beneath spirituality.Sometimes they are the gate.If this episode resonates with you, follow Idiot Mystic on YouTube or Spotify, share it with someone who might need it, or reach out and tell me what basic thing you're trying to return to.Join the Idiot Mystic Discord:https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmMInstagram: @idiotmysticTikTok: @idiotmysticListen on Spotify and watch on YouTube by searching Idiot Mystic.

We continue Jaffa's discussion of Aristotle's Politics, continuing with his take on Aristotle's Book III, in our discussion of an entry in the 1963 Rand McNally publication, edited by Leonard Strauss and Joseph Cropsey, called "History of Political Philosophy." This episode contains discussion of pages 97 through half of 104 covering the topics in Book III of the Politics. That entry on Aristotle is by Harry V. Jaffa, who famously applied his understanding of Political Philosophy to the history of the Republican Party in American politics, and who, as such, influenced me profoundly through my mentors, who were mentored by him. He is thus one of my intellectual grandfathers. This entry was published the year before the author wrote one of the most infamous (or famous, depending) Aristotelean speeches for 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater (R, AZ). Jaffa also wrote one of the most influential phenomenological comparisons of the Democratic and the Republican parties using classical political philosophy for the political phenomenology in "Crisis of the House Divided" (University of Chicago Press) The Republican Professor is a pro-getting-political-philosophy right podcast.

CMFI Annual Foundation Bible camp in Koume - From 21st - 30th of July 2026
Social media is everywhere today. Ever wonder how the role social media plays into the employer/employee relationship? In this episode, guests Aaron Holt and SaNni M-K Lemonidis, both experienced labor and employment attorneys, join host Matt Greer for a deep dive into the murky waters of who said what where and to whom. Can employers regulate what an employee says on a social media channel – say Facebook or X? It depends. The “manner and method” of our free speech outside of work still matters. It's about content and context. Harassment and discrimination matter still matter. Try the “water cooler principle,” if a comment was made on social media, ask if the same comment was made at work around the water cooler, would the boss feel obligated to act. If the answer is yes, then action is likely required. This is a fascinating field, nuanced and sometimes dependent on the size of a company and capacity for control as well, as the company's own use of social media in outreach and marketing. The laws, and EEOC guidance, haven't changed. But the environment we live and work in has. Basic principles still apply. For employees, be nice to each other. For employers, do your best to ensure no one is being harassed or bullied. If someone says there's a problem, employers can protect themselves by investigating complaints and developing and adhering to consistent policies.

In Dumb Ass News, a whole street fight between two strangers turned out to be a big mistake. Chaz and AJ had hilarious audio of the argument, the punch and the apology. (0:00) Clearly, there needs to be an establishment of basic concert ettiquette. Chaz and AJ asked the Tribe to call in their suggestions, after Noah Kahan fans have repeatedly seen people urinating (or worse) in their seats instead of going to the bathroom. (4:27) Joe Soper from Mohegan Sun was on the phone with Chaz and AJ to talk about the lineup for their 30th anniversary, from Foo Fighters and Alanis Morrissette, to Metallica and Rush. Plus, Kevin Gagliard was in studio from Pepe's Pizzeria to talk about next weekend's CT Pizza and Brewfest. (22:31)Anyone else miss water beds? Chaz and AJ welcomed Commander Keith in studio for his list of the Top 5 things he's hoping make a comeback. (31:04)

529th episode of the Monument Podcast Series is brought to you by London-based artist https://soundcloud.com/basicchanel She describes the mix with a few words: "Since the warmer months have arrived I've been drawn to colour so much more, in both what I'm wearing and the music I'm listening to. This has reflected in the music I've been playing and the recent settings I've been lucky enough to play in, including the beautiful woodlands of La Nature - one of the most special sets I've experienced so far. This session is heavily inspired by that sunrise set, channeling the energy of the summer solstice. Drawn to warmer sounds and brighter synths, this mix reflects these kaleidoscopic feelings that I've been experiencing recently."

Delta launched a basic first class following United, stripping out seat selection, upgrades, and same day changes while almost certainly charging you the same, and we explain why it is just a way to make you pay more for what you already got. The good news is United is putting a blocked empty middle seat with its own tray on its A321XLRs, a European style setup that saves them a flight attendant and that we would happily book over regular first, and Emirates is rolling out a folding UDream headrest that could finally make sleeping in economy possible. We also cover the partnership madlibs of the week, Hilton with Explora cruises, Japan Airlines with Marriott Bonvoy, and Air Canada Aeroplan with World of Hyatt, and what each is actually worth. We close with a genuinely useful one, Wyndham doubling its Caesars transfer limit to 60,000 points through September 11th, which is a great way to rescue points before Wyndham's brutal four year expiration hits. Let us know in the comments if a better headrest would get you to fly economy.

Send us Fan MailWe use the term “ground” frequently in the studio, but what does “ground” actually mean?It can be confusing, because we use the same word to describe many different things. For example, we say that the shields of our audio cables are “grounded.” Or we may think that “grounding” our equipment will eliminate the electrical noise we hear in the audio.I attempt to clarify some of the misconceptions about “ground” in this short episode. The main point I try to stress that is that a connection to the Earth is not necessary for our equipment, or any electronic or electrical device, to work. The purpose of “grounding” electrical things is for one purpose only, and that is safety.Consider this an overview of a complex topic. I focus on things that matter in the studio. The true story would take much more explanation, and probably be of minimal interest to most recordists.One of the topics I mention is the “Pin 1 Problem” that is found in some otherwise excellent professional audio products. Here are links to an excellent explanation by Jim Brown, an electronics engineer who devoted his career to professional audio. He also co-wrote many of the AES standards that make our gear sound as good as it possible can.http://www.k9yc.com/Pin_1_Revisited.pdfhttp://www.k9yc.com/Pin_1_Revisited_Part_2.pdfhttp://www.k9yc.com/SurgeXPowerGround.pdfYou will find many more useful references on Jim's web site, if you want a deeper understanding of many noise and grounding topics.This is the last of the 6-part series on Basic Electronics for Recording Engineers. I may add additional episodes later, but I think this helps people understand some of the electronic principles as they relate to our job.email: dwfearn@dwfearn.comwww.youtube.com/c/DWFearnhttps://dwfearn.com/
I've received so many questions about this topic, thought a quick primer would be in order. I'm no veterinarian, but there are basic procedures and habits I've picked up over the years (and many vet visits) that will keep your dog in the hunt and forestall further injury to his second-most-important sense. (First being his nose!) From practice to reality, some common issues and how to recognize them, I'll hit the major issues you'll likely encounter and how to handle them. I'll introduce a few tools that might be helpful. Insider editions are brought to you by CableGangz tie-out systems.

Most people who know the Enneagram know their type. Fewer know their Basic Fear. And even fewer have sat with it long enough to understand why knowing your basic fear is so important. In this episode — the second in our Enneagram Essentials series — Anthony and I go beneath the type descriptions and into the motivational core of the system: the nine Basic Fears and their counterparts, the nine Basic Desires. These are the engine underneath every pattern the Enneagram describes. We go through all nine — what each type is running from, what it's running toward, and what it actually looks like when that fear is in the driver's seat. I also share something personal about what the fear of being ordinary has looked like in my own life as a Four. And we close with a practical practice you can start this week — one that will tell you more about your type than most assessments will. If you've been wondering why the Enneagram sometimes feels like it's describing your behavior but not quite explaining it, this is the episode. The explanation lives here. **This episode is part of the Enneagram Essentials series. Start with Episode 1 if you're new — it's a listener mailbag covering the basics and framing the series.

The seventh episode in a series on the history of Indonesia: a hinge in the world system where colonialism and revolution have decisively shaped the trajectory of global history. This penultimate installment analyses the 1998 fall of Suharto and his New Order dictatorship. Basic political freedoms were established but the transition to democracy never included a transition away from oligarchy. And it happened in the absence of a mass organized left — a left that had been destroyed through the mass anti-communist killings of 1965 and '66. We also trace the arc of three conflicts on Indonesia's colonial periphery that have decisively shaped its recent history: West Papua, East Timor, and Aceh.
