Send us a textIn episode 332 of Missions Incorporated, host Jesse SChreck, a full-time missionary in Italy since 2007, tackles a common question: "Why do missions in Italy when it already has the gospel?" With thoughtful insights, Jesse addresses misconceptions about Italy's spiritual landscape, explaining how secularism, a dominant Roman Catholic system, and biblical illiteracy create an urgent need for the true gospel. Drawing from scripture and personal experience, he challenges the idea of abandoning "reached" nations and highlights Italy's potential as an influential hub for gospel advancement. Stay tuned for ministry updates, including a short-term mission trip, a new outreach platform, and ways to support a missionary kid's summer adventures.

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!   This episode takes you deep into the real-world practice of prescribing testosterone therapy for women. This is not a high-level overview—this is a nuts and bolts breakdown: ✅ Who it's for ✅ How it's dosed ✅ What labs to run ✅ What delivery methods are safest ✅ Why it's often done wrong—and how to get it right   With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. McCarthy shares the insights no seminar or textbook can offer, including the emotional and psychological challenges women face when beginning testosterone therapy, and the very real fears around side effects and community stigma.

The headlines of the day by The Indian ExpressThis is the Catch up on 3 Things by the Indian Express and I am Ichha SharmaToday is the 27th of May and here are today's headlinesFor the first time, Operation Sindoor — the military strike launched by India earlier this month against terror targets in Pakistan — employed the concept of “red teaming” as part of its operational planning, The Indian Express has learnt. Red teaming involves embedding a small group of experts familiar with the adversary's mindset, tactics and response patterns into the planning process. Their role is to critically challenge the plan, simulate enemy reactions, and help test the robustness of the intended military strategy. According to sources, this is the first time the Indian military has tested this concept in an actual operation, marking a shift in India's strategic doctrine, bringing in a more dynamic and anticipatory approach to such cross-border operations.The Supreme Court Tuesday issued notice to the Centre and states on a petition challenging the Waqf Act, 1995. A bench of Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Justice A G Masih issued the notice on the plea by Delhi resident Nikhil Upadhyay, and tagged it with a similar petition by Advocate Hari Shankar Jain and another person. Hearing writ petitions challenging the recent amendments made to the Waqf Act, the bench of Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Justice Masih had earlier asked why the 1995 Act is being challenged now after so many years.The India Meteorological Department (IMD) Tuesday placed Maharashtra's Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri districts under ‘red' alert for the next 24 hours, while Raigad has been kept under an ‘orange' alert. While the ‘red' alert in Mumbai comes to an end today morning, generally cloudy skies, moderate spell of rainfall, accompanied by thunder, lightning, and gusty winds at isolated places will continue throughout the day. In the past 24 hours, the IMD's observatories at Mumbai's Colaba and Santacruz recorded 161.9 mm and 144.2 mm of rainfall – highest 24 hours rainfall recorded since 2021 during the month of May, and second highest in the past decade. According to the BMC, Mumbai's island city recorded 106 mm of rainfall, followed by 72 mm at western suburbs and 63 mm in the eastern suburbs.Even as the Indian Navy and Coast Guard race to contain any oil spill from the MSC Elsa 3 container ship, which sank Sunday, marine biology experts said that authorities must try to contain as much oil and pollution as possible offshore, as onshore clean-up has limitations—especially during the monsoon season. Meanwhile, teams of scientists from the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), under the Agriculture Ministry, have fanned out across three locations on Kerala's coast to collect water and sediment samples to examine onshore impacts.A mass shooting was reported in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park on Monday night which left at least two people dead and nine others wounded, reports stated. The incident took place around 10:30pm on Lemon Hill Drive at Poplar Drive. Police have said that at least two of the shooting victims are believed to be juveniles. Police added that all the nine victims of shooting are in a stable condition. The exact age of the victims, who died in the mass shootout in United States' Philadelphia, is not known yet but a police officer during a press briefing said the two deceased victims were adults, a male and a female. The police added that no arrests have been made till now in the mass shooting incident.This was the Catch up on 3 Things by the indian express

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!   In this episode we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood and debated topics in hormone health: testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for women. You may have heard horror stories—or glowing reviews. But what's the truth? Dr. McCarthy discusses: - Why testosterone matters for women's health - How it affects brain chemistry, mood, bone density, and even breast tissue - Its role after estrogen-suppressing breast cancer treatments - The difference between safe and unsafe TRT - What your provider should be doing to monitor and manage it effectively   Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he's been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more.   Citations: Popma, Arne, et al.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I am Ichha SHarmaIt is the 23rd of April and here are today's headlines.Expressing anguish over the Pahalgam terror attack that killed at least 26 people, Union Minister Amit Shah on X said, quote “Bharat will not bend to terror. The culprits of this dastardly terror attack will not be spared. With a heavy heart, pay last respects to the deceased.” unquote. Shah also met the survivors and assured them that the perpetrators of the dastardly act would be brought to justice. Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir government announced Rs 10 lakh ex gratia for each deceased's family; Rs 2 lakh for the seriously injured and Rs 1 lakh for injured victims. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to hold a key meeting with the Cabinet Committee on Security in the first half of the day, wherein India will formulate its response and defence strategy.Meanwhile, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khwaja Asif claimed today that they have nothing to do with the incident in which at least 25 tourists were killed and several others were injured. Indian officials, however, are not convinced by Pakistan's denial since the initial probe has suggested the presence of foreigners as part of the group of militants who opened fire at the civilians. At least 25 tourists and a Valley resident were shot dead Tuesday at a meadow near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir in the deadliest terror attack on civilians in the country since the Mumbai 26/11 shootings. Asif told a Pakistan TV channel about the Pahalgam attack. “We have absolutely nothing to do with it. We reject terrorism in all its forms and everywhere.” The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation last week demolished most of the Digambar Jain temple in Vile Parle in the city's western suburbs, triggering outrage and protests among members of the community, as well as politicians across parties. Under pressure, the civic administration transferred the assistant municipal commissioner in charge of the BMC's K/East ward office, which had carried out the demolition. Civic and court records accessed and evaluated by The Indian Express show that the first notice for demolishing the allegedly illegal structure was issued to the temple trust back in 2005. Since then, the BMC made nine attempts to raze the alleged illegal structure – and finally carried out the action on April 16.Amid its ongoing crusade against drugs, Punjab has become the first state in the country to ban energy drinks in and around schools to keep the children away from caffeine addiction. A notification to this effect was issued by the government on Tuesday, banning the sale of energy drinks in school canteens and outside school premises. The notification, issued by Dilraj Singh Sandhawalia, Commissioner of Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Punjab, states that it is “just and necessary” to prohibit the consumption of caffeinated energy drinks by children. The notification says that energy drinks are heavily marketed to children and young adults and others and manufacturers compare the effects of the drinks to the use of drugs like cocaine.A wildfire in New Jersey has forced residents to evacuate the area and shut down a stretch of a major highway on Tuesday as the wildfire grew to more than 3,200 acres, officials said. One of the busiest highways in New Jersey, the Garden State Parkway, saw closures due to the spread of wildfire and the stretch between Barnegat and Lacey townships was closed and the traffic was diverted, Associated Press reported. According to New Jersey Forest Fire Service, over 3,000 residents have been evacuated from the area of the Jones Road Fire in Ocean County and about 1,320 structures remain threatened. The fire service added that 5% of the wildfire has been contained till now.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The dian Express

Daar kan je nog eens écht over motoren babbelen”, aldus Brusselmans die misschien niet extreem veel kilometers rijdt, maar wel een enorme passie voor de motor heeft. “Soms ga ik naar mijn garage, gewoon om eens naar mijn motoren te kijken.” Dat soort motorrijder dus.   Naast Brusselmans schuiven ook Kristina De Rycke van BMC Assenede en Motorrijder-opperhoofd Stefaan Buyze aan voor deze podcast die we opnamen bij BMW Motorrad-dealer en GME-medeorganisator Peter D'haese in Sint-Martens-Latem.   Veertig minuutjes gratis informatie, verstrooiing en een beetje vuilbekkerij dankzij de financiële steun van alle standhouders van Ghent Motor Event.

We'll dive into some key differences between minor depression and low resilience in this episode. We discuss how low resilience can feel similar to minor depression, with symptoms such as exhaustion, lack of motivation, and brain fog. Practical strategies for boosting resilience and lifting your mood are shared, like identifying factors that deplete your resilience, engaging in tactile and enjoyable activities, moving your body, and having positive social interactions.

Thomas McDaniel: Knowledge is Horizontal (Part 2) - Ep159   This the second part of a conversation is with Thomas McDaniel, who has been in the cycling world for many years. He is currently completing his PhD at CU Boulder in Advanced Biomechanics. In the past, Thomas has been a PT, a bike mechanic, a bike fitter, and worked at Specialized, BMC and Trek.    Thomas and I are aligned in that we prefer to educate rather than treat our clients and the people in our lives.

In this episode of Masters of MEDDICC, Andy sits down with Josh Reiner, VP of EMEA at WIZ.This might be controversial, but Josh doesn't like leads. In the current landscape, while customers may be coming to you more informed, they also might be coming with more preconceived ideas about what your solution can (or can't) do. Josh tells Andy all about why it's more important to be able to go into customer engagements where everyone has an open mind about how to solve the problem. Technology presents a great advantage to the modern seller, but there is no shortcut that can replace credibility and understanding the data. Andy and Josh talk about how in the wake of AI, sellers need to avoid relying too heavily on tech, when it is our own hard work that will set us up for real success.Great salespeople are uncomfortable being comfortable. Andy and Josh discuss how A-Players are always striving to be better. As Josh says, “A-Players don't care about money because they have it,” - so the best leaders need to motivate them by challenging them to do their best.We also hear from Josh about how to build a diverse team, a winning culture and more. Don't miss this episode for an insightful take on what truly drives top sales performers and how to stay ahead in the evolving sales landscape!ABOUT JOSH REINER:Josh Reiner is an accomplished Executive with a stellar track record in the SaaS industry, currently serving as the VP of EMEA at Wiz.

One of the reasons that I've decided to prolong our study by reading this letter of St. John Climacus is that it speaks to our hearts about not only our interior life, the struggle with the passions and the growth of the virtues, but it also exhorts us - warning us that the care of others in love, our concern for their spiritual well-being trumps all things. In other words, our spiritual life cannot lead us to become self focused. Rather, it is meant to create hearts that are selfless and attentive to others and their needs.  What St John says about the care of souls and the responsibilities of spiritual elders he says to all of us. The consolation that we have received from Christ and the wisdom that he has bestowed upon us in our spiritual life and through experience is not our own possession. We seek to console as we have been consoled. We seek to protect as we have been protected by the grace of God and the guidance that we have received at the hands of others. The Church is not a business nor is it to function like one. We come to Church and receive the Sacrament not to “take something” for ourselves. We are drawn into the very life of the Holy Trinity and our “Amen” when receiving this gift means that we are saying “so be it” - let this be the reality in my life!  Like the good Shepherd, I will lay down my life for the good of others. We can never set aside our identity to fit in with society, any more than a spiritual elder can set aside his responsibility and his role of guiding and forming others. Therefore, this letter we are reading is not simply a pious exhortation but rather a call to revolution; that is, a call to radical repentance. We must turn to God in every way in order that by His grace we might love others as He has loved us. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:04:54 susan: asking prayers for my son peter and 16 week pregnant wife in la brea la below fires. 00:11:19 Rebecca Thérèse: Reacted to "asking prayers for m..." with

Hoy vamos a hablar de AUTHI, una marca a menudo olvidada… injustamente. Nos gustan las historias… y esta es una muy buena historia. Te invito a que mires el escudo: Un españolísimo toro dentro del contorno de la península ibérica… ¡más español imposible! Pero que fabricó coches ingleses… ¿A que la historia comienza bien? Pero ¿cómo crees que acabará? Esta es la historia de una marca española, pero os aseguro que resulta interesante a españoles y no españoles. Primero por la historia en sí y luego por los coches de los que vamos a hablar, coches realmente interesantes y curiosos, con una mezcla de soluciones técnicas innovadoras y anticuadas, de estilo inglés e incluso de diseño italiano… de todo eso hablaremos. Esta historia arranca en 1899 cuando el cántabro José María Quijano Fernández-Hontoria, que por sus apellidos largos y compuestos se ve que venía de buena familia, funda la empresa “Nueva Montaña Quijano S.A”. Era un visionario, emprendedor y bien relacionado. Consiguió el apoyo nada menos que del Banco de Santander… que en esos tiempos no era el gigante que es ahora, pero sí que era, no cabe duda, el Banco más importante de Santander… Y es que el Banco de Santander tenía acciones en FASA-Renault, la filial de Renault en España y consigue que la empresa NMQ fabrique motores para y otros componentes para los Renault fabricados en Valladolid… Pero comienza la década de los 60 y FASA-Renault, con otro socio industrial, rescinde el acuerdo con NMQ… la cosa pintaba mal. En España se mantenía la dictadura. A finales de los años 50 la llamada “Guerra Fría” está en su apogeo. Los EE.UU. de Norteamérica querían bases militares en el suroeste de Europa y España era un lugar clave e ideal. En este marco BMC o sea, British Motor Corporation querían expandirse por Europa. España resultaba apetecible. La mano de obra era barata y la economía estaba creciendo a un ritmo mucho más rápido que en el resto de Europa. Los ingleses venían haciendo negocio en España desde hace tiempo. Y retomamos la historia donde la dejamos, en la primera parte de los años 60 y con NMQ sin contratos relevantes. Por un lado, NMQ pensó que su única salida era fabricar automóviles ellos mismo y por otra parte BMC buscaba socio solvente en España… ¿El resultado? Que el 12 de noviembre de 1966 se constituye oficialmente la empresa “Automóviles de Turismo Hispano Ingleses” más conocida por AUTHI. Su primer presidente fue Eduardo Ruiz de Huidrobo y Alzurena… En enero de 1967 sale de la cadena el primer coche, un Austin 1.100. Os puedo decir que ese primer coche, con numero de chasis 00001 fue restaurado y presentado en el museo que VW tiene en Pamplona. A ese 1.100 se siguieron el mismo modelo con motor de 1.300 y luego los Mini, comenzando curiosamente por el tope de gama, que no fue el Cooper, sino el 1275 c.c. Pero más tarde aparecieron los Mini 1.000 y luego la versión más accesible, el 850. Y por último nace al Austin Victoria, que en su versión de Luxe, con cuatro faros redondos, tiene cierta similitud con el Triumph Dolomite… pero nada que ver. No fue fácil… las comunicaciones por carretera o ferrocarril en la España de los años 60 no era buena… en realidad, era muy mala… y lo sé en primera persona. No había mucha industria auxiliar y la fabricación en Navarra era un lio: Llegaban elementos al principio desde el Reino Unido, luego desde NMQ en Santander, desde Barcelona llegaban cristales, carburadores, bombas de gasolina y desde Madrid y Valladolid, porque allí estaban Barreiros y Renault, llegaban guarnecidos y butacas. Los coches, a pesar de ser caros frente a su competencia no dejaban mucho margen… la crisis estaba servida. En el 69 la ya entonces British Leyland, porque a los ingleses no les iba mucho mejor, se hicieron con el control de la compañía. Y ya en enero de 1970, con el lanzamiento del Mini 850, que pretendía conseguir para este modelo el éxito que no había tenido, comienzan a cambiar el nombre de AUTHI por el de Austin, Mini, Morris y MG para las berlinas de más lujo. Tenían elementos modernos, como la suspensión “Hidrolastic” que conectaba las ruedas de cada lado y que en parte funcionaba como una hidroneumática… si queréis saber más hay un video que os invito a ver, “Todos los coches con suspensión hidroneumática. ¡Muchos no son Citroën!” Los motores, básicamente eran básicamente mismo desde el 850 al 1.300 cm3, eran muy antiguos, de carrera muy larga, culata de fundición de hierro y solo tres apoyos. No subían rápido de vueltas y vibraban más, incluso tanto que había perdidas por la junta tórica del cigüeñal a su salida al embrague, que hacía que patinase… no, no me lo han contado, la fuente soy yo mismo que lo he sufrido en varios.

The gang discusses two papers that look at patterns of mosaic evolution, one paper looking at cat evolution and the other paper looking at bird ecomorphy. Which means the gang talks about Amanda's two favorite taxonomic groups. Meanwhile, Curt enjoys some realistic bird calls, Amanda remains a threat, and James provides relevant “facts”.   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): The friends take a look at how animals change over time and how the parts of the animals might change in different ways at different times. The first paper looks at cats and things that are like cats, and they look at the parts of cats and how they have changed. What they find is that the different parts are changing in different ways across different groups of cats and cat like things. The second paper looks at the neck of animals that move in the air. The paper is looking to see if the reason why these necks change the way they do are because of how they are trying to get food, which is what people thought might be true but no one has looked to see if it is true. A lot of work is done and it does seem that the necks change in a lot of ways that are different for different groups, but it does seem that a lot of these changes are because of how the animals try and look for food.   References: Barrett, Paul Z., and Samantha SB Hopkins.

Welcome to another members-only (at least the full episode) edition of the Geek Warning podcast. This episode came together after the boutique brand Open Cycle [teased a long-awaited update to its Up gravel bike. For those who aren't familiar with the Open Up, it was a bike to break new ground for the emerging sporty gravel space through its dual-wheel size compatibility with 700c and 650B. Meanwhile, it achieved the clearance between the rear tyre and chainring by introducing dropped chainstays to the market. Open Cycle was founded by Andy Kessler (former CEO of BMC) and Gerard Vroomen (co-founder of Cervelo, and until recently, also the co-owner of 3T). Between Open and 3T, Vroomen has pushed many boundaries in the gravel space in recent years. In this episode, Vroomen covers the details of the new Up and Upper bike range and the design decisions made. We touch on Open's move to on-shoring production. I pry unsuccessfully into teased compatibility with unreleased Shimano. And we chat about the move to threaded bottom brackets. Plus, members of Escape will hear me eat my own hat as despite designing a 700c-only bike, Vroomen strongly defends the smaller 650B-wheelsize and laments (and explains) its loss.It's a varied chat with a whole lot of interesting experience in designing and engineering bikes shared. Enjoy!A portion of this podcast is available to all. The full length, including the conversation on 650B vs 700C is available exclusively to members of Escape Collective.

Plus why tyres are likely to keep getting wider.With the road season soon to come to a close, the events in the tech world are unsurprisingly more focused on the dirt. In this week's episode of Geek Warning, you'll hear Brad and Dave cover the latest in tech across road, gravel, and mountain bike.Amongst a number of new things, the geeks discuss a future of electronic suspension and what that could spell for the gravel world. Why tyres are likely to continue trending wider in cross-country racing (among other disciplines). And with Specialized announcing free full suspension frame bearings for the lifetime of its mountain bikes, we discuss new ways to sell bikes in tough times.
