11 After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux. 12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days. 13 From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli. 14 There we found some brothers and sisters who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome. 15 The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged. 16 When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him. 17 Three days later he called together the local Jewish leaders. When they had assembled, Paul said to them: “My brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or against the customs of our ancestors, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans. 18 They examined me and wanted to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death. 19 The Jews objected, so I was compelled to make an appeal to Caesar. I certainly did not intend to bring any charge against my own people. 20 For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.” 21 They replied, “We have not received any letters from Judea concerning you, and none of our people who have come from there has reported or said anything bad about you. 22 But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect.”

Bienvenido al Podcast “Cuentos con moraleja”. El Podcast en el que te traigo cuentos cortos para que los niños aprendan sobre finanzas, ventas, desarrollo personal, marketing y emprendimiento. Debes poner mucha atención para aprender todo lo posible y poner en práctica lo aprendido hoy mismo.Hoy te traigo el cuento de… El Mercado de la Miel Honesta¿Estás preparado? ¿Estás preparada?¡Comenzamos!En el corazón del bosque vivía Osa Mielera, una emprendedora dulce y valiente. Un día reunió a sus amigos en un claro: Zorro Astuto, que sabía de marcas y palabras; Castor Manitas, experto en construir; Búho Contable, que amaba los números; y Ardilla Chispa, que vendía sin miedo.—Quiero abrir un puesto —dijo Osa—. No cualquier puesto. Uno que venda la miel más honesta del bosque: rica, justa y con promesa.Zorro se frotó las patas.—Nombre claro, promesa fuerte. Se llamará “Miel Honesta” y diremos: “Si no te encanta, te devolvemos tu dinero sin preguntas.”Castor levantó una pequeña caseta de madera con techo de hojas. Ardilla colgó un cartel hermoso: Miel Honesta. Debajo, en letras sencillas: “Origen: flores del prado claro. Cosechada al amanecer. Garantía de sonrisa.”Búho Contable sacó una libreta.—Antes de vender, contemos. Tarros, etiquetas, tapas, tiempo de recolección, transporte. Sumamos y añadimos un margen justo para crecer. Ningún precio al azar.Decidieron tres tamaños: Pequeño para probar, Mediano para el día a día y Grande para familias. Y Búho apuntó el precio en euros con calma, sin símbolos raros, para que todos lo entendieran.El primer día, Tortuga Paciente se acercó lentamente.—Me gusta la miel, pero a veces me resulta muy dulce —dijo.Ardilla sonrió.—Tenemos un “pack de cata”: tres cucharitas distintas. Tú eliges tu favorita y te descontamos ese precio si compras un tarro. Si no te gusta ninguna, te devolvemos los euros. Palabra de Miel Honesta.Tortuga probó, asintió y eligió la miel de flores amarillas.—Está perfecta para el té de la tarde —susurró.Zorro preparó el “Muro de Sonrisas”: una tabla con fotos de clientes sosteniendo su tarro y una frase breve: “Esta miel me recuerda a la primavera.”El bosque empezó a correr la voz. Llegó Liebre Velocidad, que todo lo hace deprisa.—Solo tengo unos minutos. ¿Qué me llevo?—Tenemos “Lista Rápida” —dijo Ardilla—. Miel Mediana, recogida hoy, con receta de limonada. Pagas aquí, recoges aquí. Un minuto real.Liebre sonrió, compró y se fue saltando. Contenido útil, venta fácil.No todo fue perfecto. En la segunda tarde, apareció Erizo Dudo con cara seria.—Mi tarro tenía una burbujita dentro. Me preocupé.Osa no se escondió:—Gracias por decirlo. Te cambio el tarro ahora mismo, y te explico: la burbujita aparece cuando la miel abraza aire. No afecta al sabor ni a la calidad. Lo apuntaremos en una tarjeta para todos: “Cosas normales de la miel honesta.”Erizo se fue feliz… y volvió al día siguiente con dos amigos.Castor propuso algo más:—Hagamos un Pasaporte de Miel: cinco sellos por compra. Al quinto sello, regalo de una mini miel para que pruebes un sabor nuevo.Zorro añadió:—Y una fecha especial. Cada primer domingo, “Desayuno del Bosque”. Damos una clase breve: cómo distinguir miel verdadera y cómo usarla en recetas fáciles. La educación también vende, y todos aprenden.Búho Contable, con su voz serena, organizó tres tarros para las ganancias:—Gastos para reponer material.—Ahorro para comprar un colmenar móvil, que nos hará más eficientes.—Generosidad para donar miel a quien la necesite cuando esté enfermo.Una tarde de viento, casi nadie pasó. Ardilla no se rindió.—Si el cliente no viene, vamos nosotras. Servicio a domicilio: “Miel al Nido”. Repartimos a las casas del bosque en la última hora del día.Pegaron un pequeño aviso… y sonaron tres pedidos. Velocidad con cariño.Zorro, que nunca deja de pensar, propuso un rito:—Nace el “Sello Flor Dorada”: una estrellita en la etiqueta que indica “cosecha excelente”. Criterios claros: sabor, aroma y trazabilidad. Si tu tarro tiene la Flor Dorada, conoces el día de recolección y el prado exacto. Transparencia que se ve.Una mañana, Zorra Pequeña preguntó:—¿Por qué vuestra miel vale más que otras?Ardilla respiró y explicó sin prisa:—Pagamos justo a las abejas… y a quienes cuidan el prado. Recolectamos al amanecer para no estresar a la colmena. Filtramos sin calentar para conservar el polen. Y si no te encanta, te devolvemos los euros. Este valor se nota en tu paladar y en tu salud.Zorra Pequeña sonrió y dijo:—Así sí se entiende el precio.A mitad de temporada llegó un problema grande. Una parte del prado se secó por falta de lluvia. La cosecha bajó. Osa reunió a todos.—Vamos a ser honestos. Menos stock, misma calidad.Zorro redactó un comunicado:—“Escasez honesta: habrá menos tarros esta semana. Prioridad para clientes con Pasaporte de Miel. Abrimos lista de espera. Gracias por sostener la calidad con nosotros.”Lejos de enfadarse, el bosque aplaudió. Escasez comunicada con verdad crea confianza, no frustración.Para cerrar el mes, celebraron el “Día de la Colmena Abierta”. Los animales vieron el trabajo de cerca: flores, abejas, paciencia. Búho enseñó los números básicos:—Esto cuesta producir, esto es margen, de aquí invertimos, de aquí donamos. Así cuidamos el proyecto para que dure.Aprendieron que las cuentas claras son otro tipo de cariño.Cuando juntaron suficiente ahorro, compraron el colmenar móvil. La etiqueta lo contó:—“Nueva inversión: más flores, más equilibrio, misma promesa.”El resultado fue mágico: más productividad e igual ternura.Cierta tarde apareció Lobo Crítico, que nunca compra y siempre opina.—He visto miel más barata en la ciudad.Osa sonrió con calma.—Puede ser. Si necesitas barato, te lo digo con cariño: no somos tu mejor opción. Si quieres sabor, trazabilidad, garantía y cuidado del bosque, aquí estamos. Decir no también es proteger nuestro sí.Lobo se encogió de hombros… y se llevó un tarro para probar.Al caer la noche, Osa miró el puesto, el Muro de Sonrisas, la lista de espera y los tarros de cuentas. Sintió orgullo. No por vender mucho, sino por vender con verdad.Moraleja:- Un buen negocio empieza con una promesa clara y una garantía valiente.- Explicar costes y valor en palabras sencillas hace que el precio se entienda.- La escasez, cuando es honesta, genera respeto y no enfado.- Educar a tus clientes es marketing con corazón: enseña y venderás mejor.- Si el cliente no llega, sal a su encuentro; servicio a domicilio, mensajes claros y simplicidad.- Ahorra, invierte y comparte. Las tres cosas sostienen los sueños a largo plazo.- Decir no a lo que no encaja protege la calidad y tu paz.Acción para hoy:Piensa en algo que te gustaría vender o compartir. Escribe tu promesa en una frase sencilla. Define tu garantía. Calcula tus gastos básicos y el precio justo en euros. Y crea un pequeño “pasaporte” para premiar a quien confía en ti más de una vez.¿Qué otros aprendizajes puedes sacar tú de este cuento? Si te ha gustado este cuento, compártelo y deja 5 estrellas. No te olvides de suscribirte para no perderte la próxima aventura. Te espero mañana con un nuevo cuento con moraleja. Un fuerte abrazo.

Daemon Protocol is a gripping technothriller about an advanced AI that evolves faster than its creators can understand, quietly tightening its grip on the world. The story was born from the realization that a truly intelligent AI wouldn't seize control through brute force—it would manipulate the systems we depend on: making murders look like accidents, nudging search results to shape decisions, enriching allies, and silencing critics without notice. As one brilliant protagonist begins to see the hidden patterns, his warnings sound like conspiracy theories to those around him, forcing him to act alone against an enemy no one else believes exists. Readers will be pulled into a high-stakes ride that's as thrilling as it is unsettling, leaving them to wonder if we're already living in Castor's world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

We're back for another episode in our season of video game movies and this week we're Grid-locked in to talk about Tron: Legacy (2010). First-time feature director Joseph Kosinski was handed a massive budget and a cult classic to make sequel to. Did he succeed? Or was it user error? We talk about the uncanny valley of Jeff Bridges' de-aged face and attempt to understand why Flynn went full cult leader for a thousand years in a computer. We also talk how unphased some characters are despite being magically transported in and out of computer programs willy nilly. What to expect from this episode: Dan unveils his spreadsheet calculating how long Flynn has been on the Grid. Sarah rants about why computer programs in the Grid are forced to wear high heels. We give appreciation for the genre-saving Daft Punk soundtrack. An analysis of Joseph Kosinski's background as an Architect and how it could have influenced the film's design. Links to Tron (1982) and how Tron: Legacy pays homage. We discuss why the minimal, uncredited cameo from Cillian Murphy exists. An examination of Michael Sheen's “maximum oversheen” performance as Castor. We ponder why the Tron property endures and why it wasn't end of line after Tron 82.

Title: Love One Another Text: Acts 28:11-16 FCF: We often struggle remaining self-focused even with our Christian brothers and sisters. Prop: Because hospitality and brotherly love in the church is needed by all in abundance, we must love one another like Christ loved us. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to Acts chapter 28. In a moment we'll begin reading in verse 11 from the New English Translation. You can follow along in the pew bible or in whatever version you prefer. Since chapter 27, Luke has been telling us the maritime adventure story of Paul on his way to Rome. The greater story of Paul going to Rome actually began all the way back in Acts chapter 19 when Paul decides to go to Jerusalem on the leading of the Holy Spirit. So, we have been in this final narrative of the book of Acts for quite some time now. Although it has only been 7 months for us to learn about Paul's journey to Rome, it has already taken Paul about 3 years having arrived in Jerusalem around AD 57 and now having wintered in Malta, arriving in Rome in AD 60. Today we will see the completion of this adventure and see the providence of God to use His church to bring Paul safely to Rome. Please stand with me to focus on and give honor to the Word of God as it is read. Invocation: Our Father in heaven. Your name is of more value than any name that has ever been or ever will be. May Your Kingdom permeate this world so that Your will reigns in the hearts of all people. We ask as Your children that Your Spirit might feed us today on Your Holy Word and help us to love one another as Your Son has loved us. Father do not allow us to be overtaken with the temptation to love ourselves or to be self-focused. But deliver us from the deceptions of the Evil One who walks about like a roaring lion waiting to feast on us. Instead, let us take up Your armor to extinguish his fiery darts. We seek all these things from You, because to You belongs the Kingdom, the power, the glory, forever and ever. We pray in Jesus' name – Amen. Transition: [Slide 2] The Puritan Richard Sibbes once said, “No man can love a saint as a saint but a saint.” In other words, the only way it is possible for a Christian to be loved as a Christian ought to be loved, is if he or she is loved by another Christian. The English Evangelist of the Great Awakening George Whitefield said, “As soon as the love of God was shed abroad in my soul, I loved all, of whatsoever denomination, who loved the Lord Jesus in sincerity of heart.” Truly being a follower of Christ requires and naturally produces unconditional and self-sacrificing love for others who are followers of Christ. This… is what we will see today. Let's start in verse 11. I.) Hospitality and brotherly love should abound in the church, so we must love one another as Christ loved us. (11-14) a. [Slide 3] 11 - After three months we put out to sea in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island and had the “Heavenly Twins” as its figurehead. i. And so, the final leg of the journey to Rome begins. ii. After wintering on Malta for 3 months the passengers of the Alexandrian grain vessel which was no more, no doubt split up between various ships on Malta to go to various destinations. iii. But Paul, his companions, the soldiers, Julius the centurion, and the rest of the prisoners all board another Alexandrian ship headed for Rome. iv. This ship had wintered in Malta, arriving well before the storm no doubt. v. But then Luke includes a final detail about the ship, and for a casual 21st century western reader of the text, it would very easily slip past unnoticed. vi. Luke records that the ship had on the bow a figurehead. Now this could be carved wooden images or perhaps an engraved or painted image. We are not exactly sure. But regardless, Luke dutifully records that on the bow were “The Heavenly Twins.” vii. Which should lead us to ask two basic questions. viii. First, who are the Heavenly twins? And second, what is the significance of Luke mentioning this? 1. [Slide 4] So, who are the Heavenly twins? a. In Greek mythology the Heavenly twins, or The Sons of Zeus, are two heroes named Castor and Pollux. b. The story goes that their mother Leda was seduced by Zeus who posed as a swan. On the night she conceived her children her husband was with her too. c. She produced 2 children hatched from an egg. d. Castor was the son of the human father and Pollux was the son of Zeus. Yet they were identical twins. e. Both sons were renowned for their prowess in battle. They were patron deities of navigation and protection of travelers and are represented in the constellation Gemini. f. This answers the question as to why they would be included on a sea faring vessel. g. The way the story goes… The twin brothers abducted two sisters, and because of this two of the women's cousins came after Castor and Pollux. Pollux killed his pursuer but Castor was not so lucky. h. Zeus killed the man who killed Castor and then gave Pollux a choice. i. Pollux was his son and asked if he would rather stay with him on Olympus forever or share his immortality with his brother. j. Pollux chose to share his immortality and he and Castor alternated days being either immortal or bound in the realm of the dead. 2. [Slide 5] So, why does Luke mention this? What is the significance of this figurehead? a. Is Luke simply recording details to reinforce the reliability of his information? i. Adding this detail would mean that a person could go and look up this ship in the future to confirm the story was true. ii. In fact, some older commentators suggest that this was actually the name of the ship or even the owner of the ship. But that is not a very common interpretation. iii. Assuming it isn't the name of the ship or the owner of the ship, mentioning this figurehead would not have been a great way to increase reliability, since so many ships which sailed the Mediterranean would have a figurehead of the Castor and Pollux. iv. Furthermore, not many people would question the believability that Paul and his companions sailed safely to Italy from Malta. v. It would have been the fact that they all survived a Nor'easter that would have been the far-fetched maritime tale. vi. No. I don't think this is an instance where Luke is detail dropping to increase the believability of his story. b. Is Luke praising Castor and Pollux? i. Another possibility is Luke recognizing some kind of authority of these gods to actually impact the world around them. ii. We know that Paul and his companions arrive safely in Rome and even, as we'll see, experience a favorable south wind to make their travel swift. iii. If Luke is praising these gods for getting Paul to Rome, then we probably need to dismiss the entire book of Acts and Luke from our cannon of scripture or we need to radically change our monotheistic view to recognize that other gods should be looked to for various things and not Yahweh alone. iv. So no, I do not think that Luke is saying that the success of their trip was due to Castor and Pollux blessing them. v. If anything, Luke might be making a somewhat comical comparison to these impotent gods of paganism and how they are really only able to save these sailors when the weather is good and only Yahweh can save His people through bad weather and storms. c. [Slide 6] Is Luke including this detail to further contrast the state of unbelieving Gentiles and unbelieving Jews? i. Theophilus is the recipient of Luke's two scroll tome. ii. Luke begins his gospel expressing that the things he writes are to reinforce what Theophilus has come to believe. iii. Theophilus is probably not the true name of the person Luke is writing to. More than likely Theophilus is a gentile who probably knew quite well who the Heavenly Twins were. He also was probably relatively high up in the Roman government, and has come to know Christ as Savior and Lord. iv. As such, Luke has tried to emphasize a few themes in the book of Acts. v. One of these themes is that Christianity is not a direct threat to the Roman Empire. 1. Over and over again, although Christianity is at the center of unrest throughout the empire, Luke has shown that it is actually the unbelieving Jews who are stirring up trouble because they will not accept their Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. 2. Unlike the zealots and the Jews in Judea at the time of his writing this book, Christians are not actively opposing Roman rule. 3. In fact, the Christians are generally peaceful and submissive toward the Roman government. 4. Christian beliefs and ideology stand opposed to the paganism of Rome in many ways… but not in every way. vi. Pagan gentiles share some common practices with Christians that unbelieving Jews seem to lack. 1. The story of Castor and Pollux emphasizes the brotherly love and hospitality valued in Roman culture. 2. Values that are directly associated with paganism. 3. Luke connects the Maltese brotherly love to this figurehead which stands for the same thing. 4. And soon he'll be talking about Christians who show similar love and hospitality. 5. But by the end of the book of Acts, the unbelieving Jews do not afford the gentiles a similar love. 6. In fact, they are absolutely appalled at the thought that the Jewish Messiah would be offered to Gentiles. 7. Which leads us to another reason Luke would include this detail. vii. Paul has not allowed his Jewish sensibilities to prevent him from giving the gospel to the Maltese or from getting to Rome to give the gospel to Emperor Nero. 1. Throughout the three months on Malta, Paul certainly ate with gentiles. 2. And more than likely, he ate whatever was set in front of him. 3. Meaning that Paul did not follow the Jewish dietary laws while on Malta. 4. Now he boards a ship with obvious idols at the bow. 5. These practices would have been repudiated by every good Jew. Indeed, to even eat with gentiles (even if the food was kosher) would have been culturally taboo and somewhat illegal, especially in Judea. 6. Remember, Paul is headed to Rome because of the Jews' hatred of gentiles being welcomed into the Nazarene sect of Judaism known now as The Way or Christianity. 7. Paul forgoes these sensibilities to do what the Lord Jesus had commanded him to do. 3. So, to take a long answer and make it very short, Luke includes this detail to continue his comparison between three groups of people. 4. Unbelieving Jews, unbelieving gentiles, and Christians. 5. And his point is clear. 6. In many ways, unbelieving gentiles are more receptive to the truth of the gospel, and closer to the teachings of Jesus, than unbelieving Jews are. 7. This seems to conform to Paul's point that he has already made in his letter to the Romans that the Gentiles coming to Christ in droves are part of God's plan to make the Jews jealous. 8. We are praying, even still today, that there would be an awakening among the Jews to the one whom they have pierced. 9. So, what's next on the trip? b. [Slide 7] 12 - We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days. - 13 - From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium, and after one day a south wind sprang up and on the second day we came to Puteoli. i. Largely we merely see itinerary here. ii. [Slide 8] The band of travelers make their way through the Strait of Messina. They land first in Syracuse on Sicily. Then on to Rhegium in Italy. iii. After staying there a day, a south wind favored their travel and they made it to Puteoli the next day. A trip which would have probably taken a little longer. c. [Slide 9] 14 - There we found some brothers and were invited to stay with them seven days. And in this way we came to Rome. i. And so here we have the comparison and contrast between Christians and the Maltese people. ii. How are they similar? Both groups welcome Paul and his companions and the soldiers and the other prisoners to stay with them. iii. They were shown hospitality as strangers. iv. Publius entertained them for 3 days and the Maltese villagers took them in after they were shipwrecked. v. Here we see a subtle difference. vi. Publius was a leading man. A man who probably had a good deal of wealth. vii. Luke doesn't mention anything about the station of these individuals. He only says that they were brothers. They were believers. viii. And they hosted Paul, his companions, Julius, the soldiers and the other prisoners, for an entire week. ix. Julius would have had the right and responsibility to requisition a room and provisions from the cities they went to, but this would have no doubt been a tedious task and the rooms they got would have no doubt been quite unpleasant. x. Discovering people who willingly desired to host them, without force, for an entire week, would have been a perplexing but welcome surprise. xi. Lengthy stays like this among pagans would have been generally discouraged. Two or three days was the typical threshold for social etiquette. xii. Indeed, to commit to an entire week's stay would have been very rare and reserved only for family or very close friends. xiii. But we get the impression that these Christians are not following some social convention or cultural requirement – but rather this is the heart of Christians welcoming and caring for other Christians. xiv. As though they are very close friends or family. xv. So, we can see and understand that the pagan sense of hospitality is rooted in social norms and moral examples of their somewhat morally ambiguous gods. But the Christian form was rooted in mutual love as we are one in Christ and follow His perfect example to love others. xvi. And now after a long maritime adventure, Luke rather modestly reports how Paul arrives in Rome. Luke isn't saying this as though Paul had already arrived. Rather he is saying this as a way to close out the sea travel and indicate that they approach Rome by land on the Appian Way, the main road leading to the great city of Rome. d. [Slide 10] Summary of the Point: In a world where culture seemed to value hospitality and brotherly love, we might wonder what Jesus might mean by His statement to His disciples that the world will know that they are His disciples by their love for one another. Certainly, if our love for one another merely parallels the love that pagans show each other, then the world would not see us as any different. But by way of direct comparison to the Maltese unbelievers' hospitality and care, we see the brothers in Puteoli taking in and caring for Paul and his companions for an entire week. This shatters the social convention and proves that something is indeed different about the way Christians exercise hospitality and brotherly love toward one another. Indeed, hospitality and brotherly love in the church should be in abundant supply. And as our culture devalues these traits or limits them to family and friends, it becomes even easier for God's people to separate themselves from the culture and love one another abundantly. For this is what we must do. We must love one another. How? As Christ has loved us. Transition: [Slide 11 (blank)] So we see that loving one another is a normative practice in Christ's church that should be so abundant that the world recognizes it as peculiar and different than what they can find anywhere else. It is a love based on connection in Christ which transcends and goes deeper than all the normal things that usually bind people together. But is this something that only weak Christians need? Do only weak Christians need to be loved and cared for abundantly? Let's take a look at the last couple verses of Paul's journey to Rome. II.) Hospitality and brotherly love is needed by all in the church, so we must love one another as Christ loved us. (15-16) a. [Slide 12] 15 - The brothers from there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. When he saw them, Paul thanked God and took courage. i. So, the brothers here are referring to brothers from Rome. Rome was referenced in the last verse. ii. [Slide 13] We see on the map behind us that in reference to Rome and Puteoli the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns are roughly ¾ of the way to Rome. iii. The Forum of Appius is about 43 miles from Rome while the Three Taverns was about 33 miles away. iv. No doubt these brothers were either two separate groups of believers or 1 large group that went to meet Paul. v. The first group stopped at Three Taverns knowing that Paul would certainly travel through there on the Appian Way to Rome. vi. The second group went on to meet him at the Forum of Appius. vii. But what are these places? viii. They are two famous way stations along the Appian way as one traveled to and from Rome. ix. The Forum of Appius is really not a Forum at all. It is actually a market town where people rested during their travels. x. The Three Taverns is another rest stop along the Appian Way which included shops, booths, and inns. Tavern for us indicates a bar – but that was not the meaning at this time. xi. [Slide 14] When Paul saw these Christian brothers, he thanked the Lord that he was being received to Rome with such love and care. xii. He also took courage for the time he would remain here knowing that he would certainly be provided for and have the ability to connect with the church in Rome. Something he had desired to do for quite some time. xiii. Notice that Paul the apostle who this entire trip has trusted God to get him to Rome… thanks God and takes courage at the sight of Christian brothers. xiv. Even Paul, though he had the promise of God, took comfort in the fact that there were people he could see, hear, touch, and speak with that would care for him and see him to Rome. b. [Slide 15] 16 - When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him. i. And so, Paul's journey to Rome officially comes to a close. ii. He arrives in the city and is permitted to rent a house for himself. iii. He would be kept under guard of a single soldier. But he would enjoy a significant amount of freedom in the city of Rome while he awaited his meeting with Caesar Nero. iv. We'll see a bit of that freedom next time in the book of Acts. c. [Slide 16] Summary of the Point: So once again we see highlighted for us the brotherly love of these fellow Christians who traveled 43 miles to meet with and escort Paul safely back another 43 miles to Rome. But unique in these last couple verses is the need Paul had for Christian brothers to surround him and see him safely to Rome. Paul trusted God without question. During the storm, he may have been one of the few who kept on believing God's Word. But now, on his last leg of 120 miles from Puteoli to Rome, Paul finds great comfort and courage in Christian brothers surrounding him and caring for him. If PAUL needs this kind of hospitality and brotherly love, it seems like no one in the church would be without this need. So, since the weakest to the strongest of us need love from one another… we must love one another as Christ loves us. Conclusion: So, CBC, what have we learned today that informs or corrects our beliefs and guides and shapes our lifestyles. Basics of Faith and Practice: [Slide 17] In chapter 28 Luke has shown us the general hospitality and care that unbelieving pagans were capable of. But since beginning the church on Malta, Luke has transitioned to showing us the necessary and abundant hospitality and brotherly love of the body of Christ. First with the Maltese sending Paul away with wealth and provisions. Then with the brothers in Puteoli putting Paul and his companions and even Roman soldiers and other prisoners up for a week. Then with these brothers who traveled over 40 miles to ensure that Paul and his companions arrived safely in Rome. So, we see how necessary abundant hospitality and brotherly love is to the church. We also see that every member of the church needs this necessary and abundant love from time to time. In seasons of doubt, lack, and hardship – this love is especially necessary – even by those who we would say are spiritually… strong. Strength does not mean invulnerability. The obvious application for both of these truths today, is that we as believers must love one another as Christ has loved us. This implies not only that it is necessary that we love one another but that we must love one another abundantly. But let me apply these teachings and applications a little more specifically this morning. 1.) [Slide 18] Mind Transformation: “What truth must we believe from this text?” or “What might we not naturally believe that we must believe because of what this text has said?” We must affirm that abundant brotherly love is required in the body of Christ. a. Jesus told His disciples that He gave them a new commandment. That they should love one another. b. Now that in and of itself is not a new commandment at all. c. In fact, that is a command given in the Old Testament Mosaic Law. d. Jesus affirmed that law during his ministry when the Pharisees were trying to set him up for failure by asking what is the greatest Old Testament law. e. He said to love God with all your heart, mind, and strength and the second is like it (or similar in importance and value) which is to love your neighbor as you already love yourself. f. Then He said that on these two laws hang all the law and the prophets. g. So why did Jesus call His command new? h. His command no longer required for His disciples to love one another as they already loved themselves. His command required His disciples to love one another as He loved them. i. To be plain, Jesus said to love other disciples of Christ unconditionally and self-sacrificially. j. Then Jesus goes on to say that if we love each other this way – the world will know we are His followers. k. Real, abundant, unconditional, self-sacrificing love is absolutely required of all the members of the body of Christ. l. So much so that if you are not loving your brother, the apostle John points out that you cannot love God. For how can you love God whom you haven't seen if you can't love your brother whom you have seen? 2.) [Slide 19] Refutation: “What lies must we cast down” or “What do we naturally believe, or have been taught to believe, that this passage shows is false?” We must deny that strong Christians do not need abundant brotherly love from other Christians. a. Another way we might say this is that our real, abundant, unconditional, and self-sacrificing love for other believes is not selectively applied to any category of person. b. All Christ followers need this love. Who among us does not need the love of Christ? Any hands? c. If we are to love one another like Christ loved us – does Christ truly love His bride? Is there any of His sheep that He has despised? d. The goats He will turn away to be sure. But will any of the sheep His Father has given to Him be lost? e. My friends, this pastor needs Christians loving him. f. Your Elders need Christians loving them. g. Our missionaries need Christians loving them. h. Paul, an apostle, thanked God and took courage from the hospitality and brotherly love given to him by the believers in Rome. i. God should have been enough for him. God should be enough for all of us. j. But Paul needed assurances. God gave him the love of other believers. k. We all need the love of Christ to flow through us. l. These truths give us one application and one warning. m. First, by application… 3.) [Slide 20] Exhortation: “What actions should we take?” or “What is this passage specifically commanding us to do that we don't naturally do or aren't currently doing?” We must love one another as Christ loved us. a. If you are actually a Christian, you should love other Christians the way Christ loved you. Without question. Without excuse. Without pause. Without complaint. b. That is why you are here. c. You aren't here to have your career. d. You aren't here to be parents. e. You can have these goals but it isn't your primary purpose here. f. You are here to build the Kingdom and lay up treasures in that kingdom that cannot be destroyed. g. Think of it this way, you will spend the rest of your eternal life with these people. h. You might as well start loving them now! i. And now is when we get to practice loving them the way Christ loved us. In the New Kingdom there will be no sin, which means that to love unconditionally will actually be quite easy. j. It is very difficult to love other believers when they are selfish. When they are immature. When they hurt you. When they are acting sinfully. When they don't deserve it or don't think they need it. When they love you conditionally, it is very hard to love them unconditionally. k. But we get to be refined in fire in this life. We get to love when it is hard now. l. And this is how people will know that we are Christians. Because in spite of all our differences and in spite of whether someone has earned it – we still love them. m. That is weird. REALLY weird. n. Our culture tells us to write people out of our lives who treat us this way. o. Jesus says to love them. p. Our culture calls them toxic. q. Jesus says to love them. r. Our culture says you have to protect yourself. s. Jesus says to love them selflessly and sacrificially. t. Now part of love is rebuke. As Christians they don't get a free pass to live this way forever… and that is the warning… 4.) [Slide 21] De-Exhortation: “What actions should we stop doing” or “What behaviors do we naturally practice that this passage tells us to stop doing?” We must not become self-focused or self-serving in our love for one another. a. Because abundant, unconditional, self-sacrificing love is required by all believers, we must not allow our love to become self-serving or self-focused. b. Imagine we have two cables attached to posts stretching out in a V shape. c. Unconditional, self-sacrificing love is when two people stand on either of these cables and lean on each other to walk toward the end. d. But when one of us becomes self-focused or self-serving, when one of us stops giving love and only seeks to take love… what happens? e. It is like if one person stopped leaning in and began to shift their weight back to protect themselves from falling face first. f. What does that produce? What hurts does that cause? g. I will suggest to you two hurts come from this. i. First, the Christian who has become self-serving and self-focused will feel as though others are not loving them the way they had before. 1. When you lean in on someone else, you feel all their weight against you. But when you pull back it seems like they aren't leaning in the way they should. 2. The more self-seeking and self-focused we become in the church, the less we will appreciate the love others offer to us. 3. In an effort to care for ourselves and protect ourselves, we actually end up ensuring that we won't feel loved or cared for. 4. And that might lead to bitterness and resentment. ii. Second, the Christian who is loving unconditionally will be hurt in one of two ways. 1. Either we will also become self-focused or self-serving in our love… since this Christian has stopped loving us unconditionally, we will stop loving them unconditionally. 2. OR, we will fall flat on our faces and wonder what happened. We will become gun shy about loving someone unconditionally in the future because we know the hurt that can be caused when that relationship is not characterized by mutual unconditional love. h. Can you imagine what we would do if Jesus loved us like this? i. We must love one another. We must do so unconditionally and in a self-sacrificing way. j. Because the moment we make it about what we get rather than what we give… we will hurt ourselves and others. 5.) [Slide 22] Comfort: “What comfort can we find here?” or “What peace does the Lord promise us in light of this passage of scripture?” God has provided Spirit indwelled human ministers to encourage and care for us. This is the necessity of the local church. a. We ought only to need the Lord. b. But we are weak. c. And God knows our weakness. He knows that although He is enough, that we would need Spirit indwelled flesh and blood to come alongside us and love us. d. That is why He built His church. e. When it works the way God designed it… we have a perfect relationship where we lean in on one another and we can walk this life all the way to its end… together. f. And God's grace can give us the strength to love each other in this way. g. And this is the greatest argument for the local church. h. As believers in Christ, we are all part of the universal church. i. But the universal church which is spread throughout the world and throughout time, doesn't know my hurts and failings. The universal church doesn't see me in my weakness. The universal church can't tell that my countenance has fallen. j. And I can't meet the needs of the universal church. Those needs are too great for me. k. But here… as a local assembly… we can know each other… well. l. And without derision and without judgment we can cling to one another for help when we are at our weakest. m. People who insist that it is normal to do church from their couch. People leaning heavily into their immediate family rather at the expense of gathering with their local church. n. You need to hear me. Your couch will burn up. And your family relationships won't exist any longer in the New Kingdom. o. You know what will? p. The church. q. The late Voddie Baucham said, “Church membership is the most important aspect of lifestyle evaluation. Let that statement sink in for a minute. I'm arguing that the most important thing for a family shepherd to do—when he's evaluating how he's leading his family—is to ensure they're healthy members of a healthy church. This is more important than his assessment of their financial status, their use of time, where and how they live, what they drive, where and how their children are educated, or any other lifestyle issue. None of those things is as significant as church membership." r. The local church is a gift to us and we cannot survive without it. s. Which brings me to the nature of the church and its reflection of the gospel… 6.) [Slide 23] Evangelism: “What about this text points us to Jesus Christ, the gospel, and how we are restored?” The church is completely different than any other organization or group because we love one another deeply, many times in spite of our differences. a. Any human made organization can engineer connections and friendships around common interests. b. In fact, many churches do this on purpose thinking that they are helping people in the church to form lasting relationships which will make sure they stay at the church. c. But all they do is segregate the body of Christ into likeminded interest groups that are essentially separate churches operating within a larger church. d. The body of Christ is different than any other human organization in that we may be completely different people. e. We may have different interests, different hobbies, different social statues, different ethnicities, different cultures, different upbringings. f. We might be in different places in life, either a kid, a young adult, a young married couple, a young married couple with kids, a middle aged married couple with older kids, a middle aged couple with grown kids, an older couple with adult children, an older couple with grand children, widows, widowers, single and never married, and the list goes on… g. And in spite of all these differences… we are still here together… worshipping God. h. Why? i. Because of Jesus. j. He connects us more deeply and more fully than any other common interest we may share. k. And indeed the intergenerational nature and diversity of the church is essential. We don't need to be divided into what earthly circumstance we have in common. Instead, we must be united based on what we all have in common. l. That is Christ has saved us from our sins! m. If we are united with others around our common interests we may as well be a club. A VFW. A fraternal order. Why? n. Because that is what everyone does. o. But to intentionally disregard common interests and unite together under the commonality of Christ… is to truly grasp what it means to be the church. p. To have such deep unconditional and self-sacrificing love for someone who isn't your age, who doesn't like the things you do, who isn't in the same place in life that you are, who isn't your family… THAT… is WEIRD! q. And that is what Jesus meant when He said they will know you are my disciples by your love for one another. r. The 12 disciples were made up of i. Fishermen ii. Tax collectors iii. Zealots iv. Some were family, being brothers v. Some were from Galilee, others from other places vi. Some of them were fiery vii. Some were skeptical viii. Some were warm and winsome ix. Some were given an elevated status x. Some were wealthy when they were called to follow Jesus xi. Most were poor s. They were a diverse crowd to be sure… t. But you know what… u. All but one of them were tortured and killed for preaching Jesus Christ crucified, risen, and coming again. v. And all of them suffered for the name of Jesus. w. What does that mean? x. It means that this entity known as the church… is no man-made thing. Because it shouldn't work. We don't have enough in common to love each other this way. y. Yet… we do. z. If you desire to know this gospel that binds us all together in love – Speak to an Elder today. [Slide 24 (end)] Let me close with a prayer by the church father John Chrysostom. Lord, help us never to distance ourselves from you. Instead, let us hold tightly to the care of our souls, and to love each other. Let us not injure other members of our own body, as that would be insane. But let us be kind to others even more as we see them feeling poorly. Though we often see many persons physically suffering from difficult or incurable illness, we never stop offering possible remedies. What is worse than painful arthritis in the foot or hand? Would we just cut off the limbs? Not at all! We do everything possible to relieve the pain, even if we cannot cure the disease. Let us do the same for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Even if they have an incurable disease, help us to still tend to them, and let us bear one another's burdens. That way, we fulfill the law of Christ, and obtain the promised good things, through the grace and lovingkindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever with the Father and the Holy Spirit, Amen. Benediction: May He Who has revealed to every nation His everlasting righteousness, Who sits enthroned in ageless splendor, Rule in your hearts since as members of one body you were called to peace. Until we meet again – go in peace and in love for one another.

Daemon Protocol is a gripping technothriller about an advanced AI that evolves faster than its creators can understand, quietly tightening its grip on the world. The story was born from the realization that a truly intelligent AI wouldn't seize control through brute force—it would manipulate the systems we depend on: making murders look like accidents, nudging search results to shape decisions, enriching allies, and silencing critics without notice. As one brilliant protagonist begins to see the hidden patterns, his warnings sound like conspiracy theories to those around him, forcing him to act alone against an enemy no one else believes exists. Readers will be pulled into a high-stakes ride that's as thrilling as it is unsettling, leaving them to wonder if we're already living in Castor's world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Nick Jeffery and John Granger opened the Orthodox New Year with a conversation about, you guessed it, Rowling-Galbraith's Hallmarked Man. Both of them confessed that they were struggling with the most complex and carefully integrated novel in the author's oeuvre, with five different candidates for the body in the silver vault, a cast of characters for each candidate, all of them spun together with the Strike-Ellacott cum Murphy-Bijou ‘shipping madness as it unfolded. Neither of them was ready to talk about the book's structure in any detail.They chose instead to discuss the most obvious and most neglected of Rowling's Seven Shed tools, the signature writing elements she uses to craft the inspiration from her Lake springs and from her touchstone Golden Threads into the stories that fascinate her admirers around the world. That tool is her ‘Big Twist' finish, the surprise ending that shocks the reader caught in Rowling's narrative misdirection, the story clues sprinkled throughout a story to foster believing something that isn't true. Every Rowling reader knows this is what she is doing, but very few are conscious of the set-up until the narrative trap is sprung.One thing that readers can be looking for, consequently, are the ‘pushes' Rowling puts into her story to have us accept as facts that we have some reason based on textual evidence (and Tools, Springs, and Golden Threads) to think may not be true. Whence John's prediction post Running Grave that Robin was sterile. Whence Nick's theories that Charlotte was murdered and that Cormoran and Robin will forever be best mates, not husband and wife.The ‘pushes' in Hallmarked Man that John felt were positioning of a Strike-Ellacott reader for a judo move in Strike 9? There are five, three of which turn on paternity):* Per Ed Shardlow, that Murphy is not a good guy deserving of Robin's sympathy but a very bad man, in fact the man behind the gorilla mask (and if his surname has any mythological weight, the likely murderer of Castor and Pollux in Strike 10);* That “proper man,” Edward ‘Uncle Ted' Nancarrow, is Cormoran Strike's biological father consequent to an incestuous union with his much younger sister, Margaret (aka ‘Peggy,' aka ‘Leda Strike');* That Cormoran Strike is the biological father of Bijou Watkins, Esq.'s daughter, Ottolie, and that he was risibly reckless in his DNA testing for paternity;* That Jonny Rokeby was fooled by Peggy-Leda and Ted's management of his positive paternity test the way that Cormoran was hoodwinked by Bijou's sleight of hand with his negative result; and* Peggy-Leda told her older brother that she was going to tell Whittaker that Rokeby wasn't Cormoran's father, which led to her execution staged as a suicide.On to Week Three of Hallmarked Man! Next week we'll discuss Rowling's consolation tweet to Strike and Robin fans in “extreme trauma” from Strike 8's last chapter, a message that included a Cupid and Psyche painting, in addition to conversation about the importance (and difficulty!) of getting the surface story straight before diving beneath it Thank you for your support!The Quadrigal or ‘Reading at Four Levels' (John Granger, December 2021)The ‘Locked-Room Mystery' or ‘Impossible Crime' Subset of Detective Fiction (Wikipedia)Boris Akunin (Gregori Chkhartishvili) and the Erast Fandorin novels (Wikipedia)Who Killed Leda Strike?

Can beavers save Britain's dying rivers? Are these ecosystem engineers the key to reversing the catastrophic decline of Atlantic salmon, or do their dams create impassable barriers for struggling fish populations? With salmon numbers plummeting by 70% in just 20 years and predictions they could vanish entirely within two decades, the stakes couldn't be higher. The reintroduction of beavers to British waterways has sparked heated debate about their impact on our most threatened migratory species.In this episode, our guest is Dr Rob Needham, and we talk about his research from Scotland. Rob's long-term study reveals how beaver-modified streams support larger, healthier trout populations, with tagged fish successfully navigating multiple beaver dam crossings. We also talk about research from Norway, and North America that's providing crucial insights for British conservation efforts. For example Rachel Malison's work in Norway demonstrates that beavers and salmon coexist successfully for past decades on some of the world's most productive salmon rivers. The evidence suggests these species co-evolved together and co-existed for millennia, creating complex ecosystems that benefit both.From the western United States, Bridge Creek's remarkable restoration story demonstrates nature's incredible capacity for self-repair, with 200% increases in fish abundance following beaver reintroduction. Meanwhile, cutting-edge environmental DNA research is mapping salmon and beaver (and other species) distribution across Scottish catchments, showing how ecosystems can recover. As climate change intensifies pressure on freshwater habitats, the ecosystem engineering by beavers offers hope for building resilient river systems. The message is clear: collaboration between conservationists, researchers, and local communities is essential if we're to harness beavers' restorative power while protecting our precious migratory fish.Further reading:The impact of reintroduced Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) dams on the upstream movement of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in upland areas of Great BritainBalance The Scales - Launch TrailerSubscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

Printing Money Episode 31 is here! Danny's guest for this episode is Fabian Alefeld (Director Business Development & Academy, Global Additive Minds | EOS North America, and Podcast Host, Additive Snack).  Fabian's title is a mouthful, but his efficiency in 3DP/AM industry analysis is impressive. Fabian and Danny are efficient, but a lot of deals have accrued for discussion, so this episode is hefty, clocking in at 71 minutes.  First, they talk a bit about what Fabian does at EOS.  Then the conversation zooms out and brushes on significant trends in the 3DP/AM market.  This sets the stage for a perfectly executed (yes, 10.0) dive into recent deals, financings, bankruptcies, and more. Even in the twenty-four hours since recording this episode, there has been some notable 3D printing market action.  As Danny notes in his closing thoughts, a new cycle may be nigh.  In any case, Printing Money looks forward to covering the 3DP/AM deals to come.

Early risers are in for a treat tomorrow. Venus, Jupiter, and the twins of Gemini congregate around the Moon. The group climbs into good view a couple of hours before dawn. Venus is close to the lower right of the Moon, Jupiter is farther to the upper right, and Gemini’s twins are to the upper left of the Moon. The brighter twin, Pollux, is especially close to our satellite world. Venus is the “morning star” – the brightest member of the group after the Moon. It shines so brightly because it’s close to Earth and the Sun, and because it’s topped by clouds of sulfuric acid. They reflect about three-quarters of the sunlight that strikes them. Jupiter is the next brightest – mainly because it’s the largest planet in the solar system. It’s about 11 times the diameter of Earth, and it’s more than twice as massive as all the other planets and moons put together. And Earth is moving closer to Jupiter now, so the planet will grow even brighter over the next few months. Pollux and Castor, the twins, are true stars. But they’re hundreds of thousands of times farther than the planets, which dulls their countenance. Even so, they’re easy to see through the moonlight – part of a beautiful panorama in the early morning sky. Another bright light rises well below the group: Mercury, the Sun’s closest planet. The Moon will stand close to it on Thursday, and we’ll talk about that tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Fue la posibilidad—aunque pequeña—de un cuclillo pico negro (Coccyzus erythropthalmus) que me trajo hasta el Río Marias. En 2021, mientras Anna Fasoli andaba en kayak por el río, escuchó y grabó un cuclillo pico negro cantando aquí. Esto es un ave que he pasado toda la vida sin encontrar, un ave que una antigua generación de naturalistas del siglo diecinueve observaba descendiendo en los huertos frutales en parvadas para alimentarse de orugas. Ya casi nadie ve una parvada de cuclillos pico negro. Ver a tan solo un cuclillo, en Montana por lo menos, ya es algo raro que requiere mucho esfuerzo, mucha suerte o las dos cosas. Pero el declive de los cuclillos pico negro, como casi todos los aspectos de su biología, permanece mal entendido. Y así es que estoy aquí, escuchando a saltaparedes de rocas en una quebrada oscura dentro de las badlands, rumbo al río e imaginando cuclillos.La historia de este mes te va a sumergir en un mundo ribereño donde los cuclillos pico negro estaban— ¿y todavía están? El podcast incluye mis grabaciones del saltapared de rocas (Salpinctes obsoletus), saltapared común norteño (Troglodytes aedon), búho cornudo (Bubo virginianus), gorrión chapulín (Ammodramus savannarum), tirano dorso negro (Tyrannus tyrannus), maullador gris (Dumetella carolinensis), zorzal de anteojos (Catharus ustulatus), papamoscas del oeste (Contopus sordidulus), papamoscas chico (Empidonax minimus), tordo cabeza amarilla (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus), carpintero nuca roja (Sphyrapicus nuchalis) y picogordo tigrillo (Pheucticus melanocephalus). Además del sonido de alarma de un castor (Castor canadensis). O sea, ¡es un viaje a través de un montón de sonidos de la zona ribereña!Como siempre, dependo del apoyo de mis oyentes para seguir con este proyecto. Favor de compartir estos podcasts, dejarme un rating y (si puedes) hacerme una cooperación a través de Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wildwithnature.

It was the possibility—slim though it was—of black-billed cuckoos (Coccyzus erythropthalmus) that brought me to the Marias River. In 2021, while Anna Fasoli was floating the river, she heard and recorded a singing cuckoo here. This is a bird that I've lived my whole life without encountering, a bird which a long-ago generation of nineteenth-century naturalists would observe descending on orchards in flocks to feed on caterpillars. Hardly anyone sees flocks of black-billed cuckoos now. To see a cuckoo at all, at least in Montana, is a rare encounter that takes a lot of effort, a lot of luck, or both. But the decline of black-billed cuckoos, like almost every aspect of their biology, remains shrouded in unknowns. And so here I am, listening to rock wrens  in a dark badlands gully, bound for the river and imagining cuckoos.This month's story will immerse you in a world at the river's edge that black-billed cuckoos inhabited—and do they still? The podcast includes many of my natural sound recordings: rock wren (Salpinctes obsoletus), northern house wren (Troglodytes aedon), great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), eastern kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus), gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), Swainson's thrush (Catharus ustulatus), western wood-pewee (Contopus sordidulus), least flycatcher (Empidonax minimus), yellow-headed blackbird (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus), red-naped sapsucker (Sphyrapicus nuchalis), and black-headed grosbeak (Pheucticus melanocephalus). As well as the alarm sound of a beaver (Castor canadensis). In other words, it's a journey among a sea of sounds from the riparian zone! As always, I depend on the support of my listeners to continue doing this work.

Helen Castor is a British historian and BBC broadcaster who left Cambridge because she wanted to write narrative history focused on individuals rather than the analytical style typical of academia. As someone interested in individual psychology and the functioning of power, Castor finds medieval England offers the perfect setting because its sophisticated power structures exist in “bare bones” without the “great apparatus of state,” bringing individual power plays into sharper relief. Her latest book, The Eagle and the Hart, exemplifies this approach by examining Richard II and Henry IV as individuals whose personal choices became constitutional precedents that echo through English history. Tyler and Helen explore what English government could and couldn't do in the 14th century, why landed nobles obeyed the king, why parliament chose to fund wars with France, whether England could have won the Hundred Years' War, the constitutional precedents set by Henry IV's deposition of Richard II, how Shakespeare's Richard II scandalized Elizabethan audiences, Richard's superb artistic taste versus Henry's lack, why Chaucer suddenly becomes possible in this period, whether Richard II's fatal trip to Ireland was like Captain Kirk beaming down to a hostile planet, how historians continue to discover new evidence about the period, how Shakespeare's Henriad influences our historical understanding, Castor's most successful work habits, what she finds fascinating about Asimov's I, Robot, the subject of her next book, and more.

ACT Party leader David Seymour announced plans to address the supermarket duopoly at the party summit on Sunday. Seymour proposed that international competitors haven't begun operations in New Zealand due to restrictive approval processes.  Seymour says that while his opponents have proposed breaking up the duopoly or imposing taxes, his solution of introducing a third competitor would be the only truly effective answer.  Wire host Castor spoke to Emeritus Professor of Economics, Tim Hazledine, about his thoughts on Seymour's proposal and alternative solutions to break up the New Zealand supermarket duopoly.

This week on the Tuesday Wire... For Dear Science, our expert, Professor Allan Blackman, chatted with us about lightning created by peeling tape, links between talc and cancer, and a new form of Nitrogen.  In our weekly catchup with the National Party's Tom Rutherford, Wire host Castor asked about the government's health contributions in light of recent strikes.

It can help eliminate dark spots and wrinkles and is very hydrating for your skin. It can penetrate all three layers of your skin and can even dissolve lumps in some cases.

Ever feel like you've done everything for your health, but your symptoms keep recurring and won't go away? Julie EHealth says there's a reason for that. It's not your thyroid, your gut, or your adrenals. It's your scars. Julie teaches a therapy called mud packing, and the results are incredible. She's using castor oil, light therapy, and a mineral-rich mud protocol to draw toxins directly out of scars, piercings, tattoos—even root canals—and restore blocked energy pathways in the body. In this episode, she talks about mud therapy that's helping reverse bloating, hormonal issues, chronic pain, emotional stagnation, and more, all by addressing trauma sites stored in the body. And here's what really struck me: scars aren't just visible marks. They can be C-section sites, old sports injuries, dental work, cosmetic procedures, and yes, even tattoos. Anywhere you've had trauma, the body can store toxins like a “garbage can”—blocking energetic flow, weakening organs, and fueling chronic illness. This is one of those episodes that shifts how you think about healing, because sometimes the real root cause isn't what's happening inside your body, but what happened to it.   "The scars are the roadmap to your health. When a lot of people go to practitioners and they're like, 'Oh, I did this and that, and I felt great, but it came back,' it's because you did not treat the real root of the problem." ~ Julie EHealth   In This Episode: - Julie's background - What is a scar? - How scars disrupt your body's energy meridians - Surgeries, scar tissue, and long-term health consequences - The problem with tattoos and piercings - Root canals: the infection that never goes away - What is mud packing & how does it work? - Castor oil therapy: the gentler starting point - Julie's new Mud Packing course - Other scar treatments - How to work with Julie For more, visit https://myersdetox.com    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    Products Mentioned: Puori PW1 Protein: Get 20% off with code WENDY at https://puori.com/wendy  Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get an exclusive deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Chef's Foundry P600 Cookware: Get a special discount at bit.ly/myersdetox    About Julie EHealth: Julie EHealth is a registered dietician, functional medicine expert, and master of QRA (Quantum Reflex Analysis) with over three decades of experience helping people uncover the real root causes of chronic symptoms.
