Wir springen in dieser Folge in die Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Ein Augenarzt bereist in dieser Zeit nicht nur sein Heimatland England, sondern das gesamte vereinigte Königreich, schließlich auch den Kontintent und landet dann in Leipzig. Dort hat der berühmteste Musiker der Stadt, Johann Sebastian Bach, schon länger mit einem Augenleiden zu kämpfen, und der berühmte Augenarzt aus England wird ihn operieren. Nur, geht das auch gut aus? Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über Chevalier John Taylor, der in der Medizingeschichte manchmal als Pionier und oft als Quacksalber bezeichnet wurde, der aber tatsächlich eine Art Zwischenwelt in der Medizingeschichte bewohnte, in der die beiden Eigenschaften oft nicht so einfach voneinander zu trennen waren. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG443: J.S.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick and Dr. Frank Grabowski dive into Books 17–19 of Homer's Odyssey, where the disguised king returns to Ithaca as a beggar.Check out our WRITTEN Q&A GUIDE TO THE ODYSSEY.Check out Dr. Grabowski's new Substack: The Porch and the Altar.The conversation explores iconic moments like Odysseus's heartbreaking reunion with his loyal dog Argos, the tense first dialogue with Penelope that raises fascinating questions about what she truly knows or suspects, and the escalating violations of xenia by the suitors. Listeners will appreciate the rich analysis of loyalty as the ultimate standard, Odysseus's hard-won maturation in temperance and piety, and striking contrasts between faithful servants like Eumaeus and disloyal figures like Melanthius.Homer emerges here as both poet and philosopher, using these scenes to probe justice, the nature of heroism, the city at peace, and the interplay of fate and human choice.With Athena guiding events and the tension building toward the suitors' doom, Deacon and Dr. Grabowski illuminate how Odysseus' trials have prepared him not just for revenge, but for restoring order.Whether you're new to the epic or a longtime reader, this episode offers fresh insights that make the ancient story feel urgently relevant.

Your eyes reveal what you cannot see. Advanced OCT and OCT Angiography technology now allows eye care professionals to detect and prevent diseases that would otherwise lead to blindness and to diagnose systemic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease before symptoms appear. In this episode, Dr. Kerry Gelb sits down with Dr. Carolyn Majcher, a leading expert in retinal imaging and vitreoretinal disease, to explore how this breakthrough technology is transforming preventive medicine. ❤️ WHY THIS MATTERS: Early detection saves vision. Early detection saves lives. Eye imaging now detects: ✓ Diabetes (before the patient knows) ✓ Hypertension (silently damaging organs) ✓ Cardiovascular disease (showing warning signs in the retina) ✓ Retinal diseases (before blindness occurs) ✓ Systemic conditions (through the eye as a biomarker) Connect with Dr. Carolyn Majcher: https://www.instagram.com/retina_queen/
What if a single scan could detect blindness, diabetes, and heart disease before you feel any symptoms? In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Carolyn Majcher, one of the leading retinal specialists in the country, we go deeper into the world of advanced OCT imaging and OCT Angiography, the technology that is quietly revolutionizing eye care and saving lives. Your eyes are not just for seeing they are a window into your entire body. This episode will change the way you think about your health.
SEASON 2 - EPISODE 198 Fernando Meirelles - Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director Fernando Meirelles (THE TWO POPES, BLINDNESS, CITY OF GOD). Despite growing up with a filmmaking-loving father, it wasn't until Fernando graduated from architecture school, smuggled film equipment into Brazil, produced television and commercials through a video production company, and met cinematographer César Charlone (Season 2, Episode 174) that he finally directed his first feature. During our discussion of CITY OF GOD, we learn how he, the crew, and a cast of non-professional (and young) actors prepared for the shoot, and Fernando reveals how they strategized to capture the necessary footage while filming in a favela. We later learn how Fernando incorporates improvisation while working with actors during production, and, while reflecting on working with actors who like to plan far in advance, he shares a story from his time working with actor Anthony Hopkins on THE TWO POPES. Fernando later reveals why he planned to quit filmmaking after THE CONSTANT GARDNER and why BLINDNESS brought him back, and he shares what his biggest regret is. - Recommended Viewing: CITY OF GOD
Episode 4147 │ June 15, 2026 An optometrist with 30 years of practice says macular degeneration and cataracts are preventable — and he has seen both reverse with nutrition alone. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Dr. Ronald Pugh — optometrist, philanthropist, and 40-year student of nutrition — walks through the top five causes of blindness in America, explaining how free radical damage drives macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetes-related vision loss, and hypertensive eye disease, and how therapeutic doses of plant-derived minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and the full 90-essential-nutrient protocol can prevent and in documented cases reverse these conditions. Drawing on Senate Document 264 from 1936, 25 medical mission trips to Mexico serving over 75,000 patients, and his own reversal of arthritis and bone spurs through nutritional intervention, Dr. Pugh makes the case that mineral-depleted soil, processed food, and inadequate supplementation are the root cause of most degenerative disease — and that health sovereignty begins with the six inches between your eardrums. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What are the top five causes of blindness in America — and how do free radicals, antioxidant deficiency, and mineral depletion drive every one of them? What is the difference between RDA minimum doses and therapeutic doses of vitamins and minerals — and why does Dr. Pugh say the RDA was designed to keep a soldier alive, not to help you thrive? Can macular degeneration and cataracts actually be reversed — and what specific nutritional protocol did Dr. Pugh use with patients who saw their vision restored?

Traditionally seen as a productivity flaw, time blindness is revealed here as a money problem, quietly undermining pricing, profits, and self-worth for solopreneurs with ADHD.This episode explores why common fixes like timers and time blocking miss the deeper issue, and instead, offers practical ways to design around the unique ADHD brain.Listeners can expect actionable tools—like range pricing, value-based pricing, and multipliers—to help create smarter, ADHD-friendly business practices.Key Takeaways: 1. Why time blindness is more of a money issue than a productivity problemMissed deadlines are visible, but it's the underpriced projects and unseen labor that are draining your profits.2. How the ADHD brain's sense of time impacts your pricing (and sends you into the red)3. Why accurate estimation is a myth—and what to do insteadSpoiler: The strategic move is to build pricing that works with your brainThe Three Places You're Losing MoneyThe invisible cost of time blindness shows up in three big ways in most service-based businesses—and maybe in yours too:● Quoting New Work: Saying “yes” to projects we've never done, referencing a project that only looks similar, and then confidently (but cluelessly) assigning a price. Inevitably, unknowns explode, and you end up working for free● Scoping Familiar Work: Every project you think you know by heart, but memory only shows you the highlight reel.● Hidden Labor: The worst offender. All the little admin tasks, endless revisions, back-and-forth emails, and extra meetings never get included in my quote. They don't feel like “billable” work, but they devour hours and energy in unpaid work.Six Pricing Strategies that Correct The Effects of Time Blindness:● Range Pricing: Quote within a range, not a fixed number.● Value-Based Pricing: Charge for outcomes, not hours.● Multipliers & Buffers: Take your default quote and multiply it (1.5x, 2x, even 2.5x if you're feeling brave).● Project vs. Hourly Pricing: Bill by project, not hours, so you're aren't penalized for hyperfocus sprints● Built-In Revision Rounds & Communication Caps: Set clear boundaries on extra work and comms, and make it official.Time blindness isn't going away—but by meeting your brain where it is, you can transform ADHD traits from liabilities into business assets. Design your pricing not despite your ADHD, but in partnership with it—and start keeping your hard-earned money where it belongs: in your business.Try The Multiplier Experiment on your next proposal:1. Write down the number you want to send.2. Multiply it by 1.5x (or higher—it should feel just a bit stretchy).3. Send that quote. Notice the resistance, the stories, the “what ifs.”4. Collect the data: Did the client say yes? No? What did you learn?Every proposal is a data point for better pricing decisions.

In this episode of Stanford Medcast, Dr. Geoffrey Tabin discusses the global burden of avoidable blindness and the systems-level barriers that continue to limit access to high-quality eye care worldwide. Drawing on decades of experience building scalable eye care programs in Nepal and Sub-Saharan Africa, Dr. Tabin explores how cost, workforce design, infrastructure, mentorship, and innovation shape the delivery of ophthalmologic care in low-resource settings. The conversation also examines lessons applicable to high-resource healthcare systems, including opportunities to rethink efficiency, sustainability, and equitable access to care. This activity is designed for clinicians and healthcare professionals interested in global health, healthcare delivery, systems innovation, and ophthalmology.

Our own sin seeks to blind us to the part we play in the problems we face, but if we we are willing to examine ourselves and allow God to draw near, He can deliver us.
Special guest, Pastor Chad Roberts, shares his journey of faith from his young teenage years preaching in over 200 churches and beginning his own church at age 20 to becoming blind at age 38 from an accident on a mission trip in Central America. His emotional transparency in sharing the raw truth of both his struggle and the miraculous grace of God will inspire and grow listeners in their understanding of suffering and the beauty God has brought into the life of this married father of four as he has kept his eyes on the God who loves and cares for each of us personally. His book "Blind Faith" is out now.

The Christianity that we have come to embrace has become a lifeless echo of the real thing and the Bible is being used to facilitate that travesty so God has come down in his infinite wisdom to scramble the book to force his people into returning to the dynamic prophetic power-filled gospel that we were meant to walk inStay connected in case we get bannedSign up for newsletterhttps://www.wakeuporelse.com/newsletterTake the Mandela Effect Bible Quizhttps://alteredbible.com/quiz/Our Channelshttps://www.wakeuporelse.comhttps://www.alteredbible.comhttps://www.rumble.com/c/wakeuporelse / wakeuporelse1 / wakeuporelse1 https://www.bitchute.com/wakeuporelse / wakeuporelse https://odysee.com/@Wakeuporelse:9"The Conspiracy Theorist Survival Guide Podcast"https://www.wakeuporelse.com/ourpodcastContact John wakeuporelse@proton.meJUMP IN - BE A PART OF THE REFORMATIONDO NOT make checks payable to wakeuporelseMake checks payable to John KirwinMAIL CHECKS TO John KirwinPO Box 78362Charlotte NC 28271Be a $10.00/month partner https://donorbox.org/wakeuporelseCREDIT CARDhttps://donorbox.org/wakeuporelsePAYPAL https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/kirwi...CASHAPPhttps://cash.app/$wakeuporelse$WakeuporelseVENMOhttps://www.venmo.com/wakeuporelse@wakeuporelseZELLEwakeuporelse@proton.meCRYPTO CURRENCIEShttps://www.wakeuporelse.com/donateGet both of my books FREE www.wakeuporelse.com / www.alteredbible.com1) "The Conspiracy Theorist Survival Guide"2) The Mandela effect Supernatural Bible Changes And The Doctrine Of The Preservation Of ScripturePAPERBACK - AUDIO ON AMAZON AND MOST RETAILERSThe Conspiracy Theorist Survival Guide: A Guidebook For Persecuted Truthers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C91X6K55 The Mandela Effect Supernatural Bible Changes and the doctrine of the preservation of scripture https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DH51XBJ2

“Forty percent of patients in this country alone in the first year drop out [of current retinal disease treatments] and every one of those patients ends up going blind. By far the most expensive disease in the world is blindness and the reason for that is really quite simple. It’s because the mortality doesn’t change, the use of resources skyrockets, but the mortality doesn’t change. In this country, every blind patient costs over $66,000 a year,” says Pravin Dugel, CEO of Ocular Therapeutix. “If we reduce that dropout rate by even 10% with Axpaxli, and I’m sure we’ll do even better, we’re talking about a quarter million fewer patients in this country alone who will not go blind. The impact of that, not just on a human basis but on an economic basis, is astronomical.” In this episode of the Vanguards of Healthcare podcast, Pravin sits down with Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Ann-Hunter van Kirk to discuss how the company can reduce the therapeutic and economic burden of retinal diseases.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
[53] How to master full-face aesthetics using fewer syringes, regenerative medicine, and dynamic injection techniques.Welcome to Fill Me In: An Aesthetics Podcast!In this episode of Fill Me In, Jon and Nicole sit down with aesthetic powerhouse Erika Barry, NP-C, MSN (InjectorBunny), ahead of her masterclass lecture at Modern Beauty Con, "The Blueprint of the Face." If you are a medical injector looking to scale your practice, build your patient book, or master advanced injection techniques, this deep dive is for you.Erika breaks down her exact clinical strategies for addressing "Ozempic Face" by prioritizing foundation over volume. Learn how she explains bio-stimulators to patients to manage expectations ("undersell, over-deliver") and how she integrates structural bio-stimulation with dynamic RHA fillers using her signature superficial-to-deep "sandwich technique."We also tackle the massive industry shifts of 2026, including the widespread issue of filler blindness, how to effectively use high-dose neuromodulators like Daxxify with flat-rate full-face pricing, and the exact mindset required to achieve an outlier level of success in the competitive medical aesthetics landscape.
What happens when your testimony challenges someone else's beliefs? In this episode, we continue the powerful story of the man born blind as he faces intense pressure from religious leaders who refuse to accept the truth. Despite interrogation, intimidation, and rejection, he stands firm in what he knows—he was blind, and now he sees. This episode explores the tension between truth and pride, the courage it takes to stand firm in your testimony, and the reality that not everyone will celebrate what God has done in your life. Sometimes truth doesn't just enlighten—it offends.
Our guest for this one says: I'm so keen now on representation and demystifying things for people and inviting them in and like: “Hey, understand my experience. I'm not the weird character you saw in that movie. Do not fear me. I'm a human being. I'm Jennie”. This week on Outlook we're speaking with advocate, actor, and athlete Jennie Bovard, from her home in Halifax, about her experience with low vision, about her humorous Accessible Media Inc. scripted series “Pretty Blind,” and about the "Low Vision Moments" podcast that inspired the television program. She shares why she decided to get involved as a trainee to facilitate Blindness 101 workshops in her province, the people and industries she's hoping to bring the workshop to, and about how if she doesn't take up the challenge, who else is going to? Jennie was born with a condition which impacts the body's ability to make pigment in the hair, skin, and in the eyes which has taken her on a journey to accepting her Albinism, in working for the younger generations with Atlantic Provinces Special Education Authority (or APSEA) and and into educating others (after encounters like the one on an airplane where she was handed a question written on a napkin about what her magic powers were) and trying to figure out how to push back on the stigma of such an obvious physical difference. Even plants and animals have Albinism in nature which highlights the awesome diversity that exists in all living things on the planet. Tomayto tomato when it comes to language sometimes, but we hear from Jennie about her preferred wording for her genetic condition and hope to dispel some of the myths that exist around Albinism out there, in North America and beyond, as we know that just having one friend with it growing up, like sister-co-host Kerry did, only means you are familiar with one person's lived experience of what is clearly a visible disability. . She also tells us more about how she used to try to blend in and play down some of the condition's issues in the attempt to not stand out. We ask Jennie what her takeaways were from spending a few days, training with Kerry and the other Blindness 101 facilitators, in Vancouver last November at the Blind Beginnings office and she tells us: When you're hunkered down and not only spending time together but you're spending time actually collaborating and working together and having discussions about the workshop and why we're all there, I think you become faster friends because you know what one another is about and what you're passionate about and close borders and good food together that all helps too." Kerry agrees that it was a pleasure getting to know Bovard, along with the others, during their time in British Columbia and we hope you will check out this episode and learn more about Jennie's advocacy work, in media and in sports and education, along with hearing her firsthand lived experience of Albinism with Albinism Awareness Day coming up on June 13th.

I'm opening up this week with a bit of a public service announcement: please stop pointing stuck containers at your face. We're diving into a bizarre and honestly terrifying recall of 8 million Thermos bottles that have been essentially turning into high-pressure gas bombs in people's kitchens, causing some devastating eye injuries. I try to explain "blunt force blindness" to Kristin, who, like many medical spouses, is mostly just trying to find a way to tune out the gross ophthalmology details. The main event this week is a deep dive into why "Corporate Medicine" is currently on trial, well, a federal hearing, anyway. I'm obsessively following a courtroom drama in Oregon where a local, physician-owned emergency group is fighting back against a giant corporate firm from Atlanta that's trying to take over their contract. We break down the confusing world of "Management Service Organizations" and how private equity is trying to find loopholes in brand-new state laws designed to protect patient care from out-of-state corporate interests. Takeaways: Why a build-up of food gases in an old Thermos can pop a lid with enough force to cause a "ruptured globe" injury. The difference between a "Democratic physician-owned group" and a "Contract Management Group" staffing your local hospital. How a doctor living in Illinois can technically "own" an emergency practice in Oregon through a legal loophole. Why Will thinks "home call" in residency is just a clever way to skirt work-hour restrictions.

The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planett
❖ What happens when the warning signs are visible but the human brain refuses to believe in them? This episode explores economic blindness — the deeply human tendency to assume tomorrow will look like today — and how that mental trap is playing out simultaneously across three interconnected crises: a war disrupting global oil and food supplies, a climate system moving faster than the economic models tracking it, and a nuclear arms race quietly rewriting the rules of global security.❖ The insurance industry gets its own spotlight here — because the people whose entire business model depends on accurately pricing danger are now walking away from entire regions. That is not a warning about the future. That is the future, already arriving. We also dig into why the economic models guiding trillion-dollar government and investment decisions are dangerously miscalibrated for the world climate science says we are already living in.❖ But this episode doesn't end in the dark. The same crisis accelerating the damage is also accelerating the solution. Ninety percent of new US energy infrastructure built last year was clean. Countries that couldn't afford to wait are moving faster than anyone predicted. The shock the markets refused to price is now pricing itself — and the people already building what comes next need you in their corner. Find them at acalltoact.world and trumpingtrump.org.

On Sunday, President Trump rejected Iran's latest response to his administration's ceasefire proposal by taking to Truth Social, calling it "totally unacceptable." In the meantime, the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil chokepoint through which a fifth of the world's oil travels, remains effectively blocked. And people everywhere are beginning to feel the squeeze. The national average cost of gas is now $4.55 per gallon, and diesel is inching closer to $6 a gallon. The Philippines has long declared a national energy emergency, government workers moving to a four-day work week. Lufthansa has canceled 20,000 flights through October of this year. But curiously, you wouldn't know it if you wandered down Wall Street. Last week, the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite hit an all-time high, and both have continued to climb this week. This week, host Brooke Gladstone sits down with Bryan Walsh, editor of Vox's Future Perfect section, to discuss the phenomenon of “economic blindness,” or the jarring mismatch between economic reality and the markets. Plus, how human evolution may play a role in this cognitive dissonance. On the Media is supported by listeners like you. Support OTM by donating today (https://pledge.wnyc.org/support/otm).

Actor, writer, and disability advocate, Alicia Grace is a spark of joy! She joined us to talk about living with blindness and a brain tumor. We talk about How to Train Your Dragon, the first film that helped her connect to her disability, and the limited series, All the Light We Cannot See, which included a blind character (and actor) who was more than her disability. Alicia really wants to have more authentic representations of people living with a brain tumor on film and TV. Brain tumors are often used to have a character suddenly on their deathbed or show a miracle cure moment, but often people with brain tumors live on a wait-and-watch period, like Alicia, who has had her brain tumor her whole life. Her mantra is No Day But Today – a song in the musical Rent by Jonathan Larson. He inspired her to live her life in love and not fear, as she lives through six-month periods between MRI scans.

Senator Ron Wyden has sharply criticized the IRS for failing to audit or investigate the massive payments—estimated at at least $158 million, and possibly up to $170 million—made by private equity billionaire Leon Black to Jeffrey Epstein between 2012 and 2017. Wyden questioned how Epstein, who had no formal credentials in tax or accounting, could receive such high sums—exceeding compensation paid to other top advisors—without raising any red flags, and pointed out that much of this was paid “ad hoc” without written contracts. He urged the IRS to explain why these seemingly suspicious tax‑planning transactions were never subject to scrutiny despite their scale and Epstein's criminal historyAdditionally, Wyden revealed that his office accessed a trove of financial records indicating approximately 4,725 wire transfers amounting to over $1 billion linked to Epstein, including interactions with Russian banks connected to sex trafficking. He accused the Treasury Department of withholding these critical Suspicious Activity Reports from oversight and insisted that the lack of broader prosecutions or investigations suggests a cover‑up. Wyden accused federal agencies of “sleepwalking” through evidence that might have exposed Epstein's alleged façade of financial expertise and facilitated accountability for those who funded his operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Senator Seeks Investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Work for Leon Black
What if Genesis 1 is doing far more than describing creation?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour reveals how the very first words of Scripture point directly to Jesus Christ and the miracle of salvation. The command, “Let there be light,” is not just about the creation of the world—it foreshadows the spiritual light Christ brings into dead hearts.From Genesis to John to the writings of Paul, the Bible tells one unified story: the God who created light is the same God who shines the light of salvation through Jesus Christ.In this episode, you'll discover:• How Genesis 1 points to Christ• Why “light” is a salvation theme throughout Scripture• The connection between creation and new creation• How spiritual blindness is overcome through Christ alone• Why the Gospel is woven into the Bible from the very beginningThis is the beauty of biblical theology: the shadows of the Old Testament find their substance in Christ.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere
One of the most devastating effects of sin is spiritual blindness. Not only are we blind, but we're blind to our blindness. In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul talks about the difference of being willfully blind and blindly willful.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.
