Season 1 episode 11 of the Operational Arch is part one of our conversation with guest Dr. Ben Zweibelson where he talks all things Center of Gravity. Ben offers a deconstruction of COGs by taking a look at the models the concept is born from, and why those models might explain why COG analysis may be becoming less relevant as the systems around us become increasingly complex. Dr. Zweibelson is the Director for the U.S. Space Command's (USSPACECOM) Strategic Initiatives Group (SIG). Previously, Ben was the lead design educator/facilitator for U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) through the Joint Special Operations University. A retired U.S. Army Infantry officer and veteran of multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ben has an undergraduate degree (BA in Fine Arts) in Graphic Design from the University of Connecticut, three different master's degrees (Louisiana State University, Air Command and Staff College, US Army School of Advanced Military Studies) and a doctorate in Philosophy from Lancaster University (UK). Ben is also the author of the recently released book "Understanding the Military Design Movement: War, Change, and Innovation."

While the geographic center of the EU is apparently in a small Bavarian field, its political center is harder to pin down. Historically, it was probably somewhere between France and Germany, but with the war in Ukraine, this center has seemingly moved East. Warsaw was not too long ago under considerable pressure from Brussels over rule-of-law skirmishes. Now, Poland and Lithuania are reaping the political benefits of their unambiguous support to Ukraine and their long-established hawkish stance on Russia. In a sign of this evolution Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki last weekend was not afraid to lambast Germany for being “co-responsible for the mess on the energy market” and urged Berlin to step up its support for Kiev. We wanted to map this shift in European politics and stress-test whether this pivot is noise or substance. We are joined by Jana Puglierin, the head of European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) in Berlin and a returnee to the show. On the other side of the line, we are joined by Timothy Garton Ash, a historian of contemporary Europe who just published Homelands: A Personal History of Europe (2023), a part-memoir based on his decades of experience traveling across Europe. This week our Patreons will get to listen to Timothy and Jana mapping out the nuances of Central and Eastern European politics, between Poland and Hungary, or Romania and Bulgaria.

Æxperimental Unit II: Erotic Center Of Gravity Of The Emergency-Of-Emergencies by Adam Stephen Wadley
The Capitol Pressroom has launched a new podcast, Dispatches from Planet Albany, which is a weekly discussion about power and politics at the Capitol. The following is an excerpt from the first episode, featuring Shontell Smith, co-head of the New York practice for Tusk Strategies, and Rebecca Garrard, legislative director for Citizen Action of New York. We'll talk about a possible hangover from the fight over the chief judge nomination, putting together a final budget and the progressive priorities up for consideration in Albany.
Pure guitar tones and strong rhythms are the backdrop for this latest set from Studio "V". We hope you like it! The songs: "CENTER OF GRAVITY", "TWO TIMES A CHARM", "AIN'T NO DOUBT ABOUT IT" and "THAT'S SO TRUE". Enjoy!
It is impossible to have continuity of purpose without a true individuality. If the psychological individual does not exist, if many people live in each one of us, if there is no responsible subject, it would be absurd to demand continuity of purposes from someone. We well know that many people live inside a person, so the full sense of responsibility does not really exist in us. What a certain I affirms at a given moment cannot be serious due to the concrete fact that any other I can affirm the exact opposite at any other moment. The serious thing about all this is that many people believe they have a sense of moral responsibility and deceive themselves by claiming to always be the same. There are people who, at any moment of their existence, come to Gnostic studies, glow with the strength of yearning, get enthusiastic about esoteric work and even swear to dedicate their entire existence to these matters. Unquestionably all the brethren of our movement even admire such an enthusiastic one. One cannot but feel great happiness in listening to these kinds of people, so devoted and definitely sincere. However, the idyll does not last very long. Any given day, due to this or that reason, just or unjust, simple or complex, the person withdraws from Gnosis and abandons the work. Thus, in order to right the wrong, or in trying to justify himself, he joins any other mystical organization and thinks that he is then doing better. All this coming and going, all this incessant change of schools, sects, religions, is due to the multiplicity of I’s that struggle amongst themselves for their own supremacy within our interior. This constant fluttering around among organizations, from idea to idea, this change of opinions is but normal, since every “I” possesses its own criteria, its own mind, its own ideas. Therefore, such a person in himself is nothing more than a machine who just easily serves as a vehicle to one “I” or another. Some mystical I’s deceive themselves after having abandoned this sect or the other. They decide to believe themselves to be Gods. Thus, they shine like fatuous lights and finally disappear. There exist people who show themselves for a moment to the esoteric work, then, all of a sudden, another “I” intervenes. Thus, they definitely abandon these studies and allow themselves to be swallowed by life. Obviously, if one does not struggle against life, then one is devoured by life. Very rare are the aspirants who truly do not allow themselves to be swallowed up by life. The permanent center of gravity cannot exist within us as long as a whole multiplicity of I’s exist inside of us. It is normal that not all people achieve intimate Self-Realization. We know very well that the intimate Self-Realization of our Being demands continuity of purpose. Therefore, it is not strange that only very few people can attain the profound inner Self-Realization, since it is very difficult to find someone with a permanent center of gravity. What is normal in this subject matter is for someone to become enthusiastic for the esoteric work and then to abandon it. What is strange is for someone to not abandon the work and to reach the goal. Indeed, in the name of the truth, we affirm that the Sun is conducting a very complex and terribly difficult laboratory experiment. Germs exist within the intellectual animal (mistakenly called human being) that when conveniently developed can convert us into solar humans. Nonetheless, it is not irrelevant to clarify that the development of these germs cannot be taken for granted. What is normal is for these germs to degenerate and become lamentably lost. In any event, the above-mentioned germs which can convert us into solar humans need an adequate environment. It is well known that the seed in a sterile environment does not germinate; it is lost. Continuity of purposes and a normal physical body are necessary in order for the real seed of the human being, deposited in our sexual glands, to be able to germinate. Yet, if the scientists continue experimenting with the glands of internal secretion, then any possibility of development for these aforementioned germs can be lost. Although it may seem incredible, the ants already passed through a similar process, in a remote, archaic past of our planet Earth. One is filled with wonder when contemplating the perfection of the nests of ants. There is no doubt that the order established in any ants nest is overwhelming. The Initiates who have awakened their consciousness know through direct mystical experience that in ages which the most famous historians of the world do not even remotely suspect, the ants were a human race who created a very powerful socialist civilization. At that time, the dictators of such a race eliminated the diverse religious sects and free will, for all of these things undermined power away from them. They needed to be totalitarians in the most complete sense of the word. So, in these conditions, after having eliminated individual initiative and religious rights, these intellectual animals precipitated themselves downwards into the path of devolution and degeneration. Moreover, they added to the aforementioned scientific experiments: transplant of organs, glands, hormonal tests, etc., whose outcome was the gradual diminishing in size and the morphological alteration of their human organisms until finally, through the ages, they became the ants that we now know. Thus, their entire civilization, all those movements related with their established social order, became mechanical and were inherited from parents to children. Today, one is astonished when seeing an anthill, but we cannot but lament its lack of intelligence. Therefore, if we do not work on ourselves, we devolve and degenerate horribly. Indeed, the experiment that the Sun is conducting in the laboratory of Nature, besides being difficult, has given very few positive results. The creation of solar humans is only possible when true cooperation exists within each one of us. Thus, if first of all we do not establish a permanent center of gravity within our interior, then the creation of the solar human being is impossible. How can we have continuity of purpose if we do not establish a center of gravity in our psyche? Certainly, any race created by the Sun has no other objective in Nature but to serve the interests of this creation and the solar experiment. Yet, if the Sun fails in its experiment, then it loses all interest for such a race. Thus, such a race is left condemned to destruction and devolution. Each of the root races that have existed on the face of the Earth has served the Solar experiment. From each root race, the Sun has managed to get a few to fruition, that is to say, the sun has harvested small groups of solar humans. After a root race has given its fruits, it disappears in a progressive manner, or perishes violently due to great catastrophes. The creation of solar humans is possible when one struggles to become independent from the lunar forces. There is no doubt that all those I’s that we carry within our psyche are exclusively of a lunar type. By no means is it possible to liberate ourselves from the lunar forces if we do not previously establish within ourselves a permanent center of gravity. How can we dissolve the total of the “I” if we do not have a continuity of purpose? How could we have continuity of purposes if we do not establish the center of gravity in our psyche? Hence, this contemporary race has condemned itself towards devolution and degeneration, since instead of becoming independent of the lunar influence, it has unquestionably lost all interest for the solar intelligence. It is not possible for the true human being to appear through evolving mechanics. We know very well that evolution and its twin sister devolution are nothing else but two laws which constitute the mechanical axis of all Nature. One evolves to a certain perfectly defined point, and then the devolving process follows. Every ascent is followed by a descent and viceversa. We are machines that are controlled exclusively by different I’s. We serve Nature’s economy. We do not have a defined individuality as is erroneously supposed by many pseudo-esoterists and pseudo-occultists. We need to change with maximum urgency so that the germs of the human being will give its fruits. We can become solar humans only by working on ourselves with true continuity of purpose and a complete sense of moral responsibility. This implies the total consecration of our existence to the esoteric work on ourselves. Those who hope to reach the solar state through the mechanics of evolution fool themselves and condemn themselves, in fact, to a devolving degeneration. In the esoteric work, we cannot afford the luxury of versatility. Those who have fickle ideas, those who work on their psyche today and let themselves be swallowed by life tomorrow, those who seek subterfuges and justifications in order to abandon the esoteric work will degenerate and devolve. Some postpone the error, leave everything for tomorrow while they improve their economic situation, without taking into consideration that the solar experiment is something very different from their personal criteria and their aforementioned projects. It is not so easy to become a solar human when we carry the Moon in our interior (the ego is lunar). The Earth has two moons. The second one is named Lilith and is a little farther away than the white moon. Astronomers often see Lilith like a lentil, since it is very small in size. It is the black moon. The most disastrous forces of the ego come to the Earth from Lilith and produce infrahuman and bestial psychological results. The crimes mentioned in the news, the most monstrous murders in history, the most unsuspected crimes, etc. are due to the vibratory waves of Lilith. These two lunar influences are represented within the human being through the ego that we carry in our interior and which makes of us true failures. Therefore, if we do not see the urgency of surrendering our total existence to the work on ourselves with the purpose of liberating ourselves from the double lunar force, then we shall end up swallowed up by the Moon, devolving, degenerating more and more into certain state which we could very well classify as unconscious and infraconscious. The sad part of all this is that we do not possess true individuality, if we had a permanent center of gravity we would then truly work seriously in order to achieve the solar state. There are so many excuses in these matters, so many evasions, so many fascinating attractions, that it usually becomes almost impossible to comprehend the urgency of the esoteric work. Nevertheless, the small amount that we have in free will and the Gnostic teaching oriented towards practical work can serve as a basis for our noble intentions in relation to the solar experiment. What we are stating here is not understandable by the fickle mind. The fickle mind reads this chapter and then forgets it; it reads another book, then another. To that end, our fickle mind tends to end up joining any institution which sells us a passport to heaven, that talks to us in a more optimistic manner, that assures us of comforts in the beyond. This is how people are mere marionettes controlled by invisible strings, mechanical dolls with fickle ideas and without continuity of purpose. Samael Aun Weor

Volt Capital announced in May the launch of its second fund — with backing from the likes of Andreessen Howoritz's Chris Dixon and Marc Andreessen — and despite the ongoing bear market for digital assets, founder Soona Amhaz says there's an opportunity to invest in a new wave of entrepreneurs. Following the launch of a wide range of marketplaces tied to non-fungible tokens and decentralized finance, Amhaz said she is setting her sights on projects and companies that solve the problems facing such organizations, including the breaches and security issues that hang over the space like a cloud. "A trend I'm seeing is second order thinking to primitives that were finally established," Amhaz noted. "So one anecdote of this is just being able to move NFTs between buyers and sellers: having marketplaces established was a huge win for the space this most recent cycle. But now we're already seeing a wave of founders who are building with this second order thinking of, 'Okay, now that NFTs are here and now that we have NFT marketplaces, how are we preventing fraud? How are we thinking about security? How are we thinking about content moderation?'" Indeed, Volt's strategy reflects a shift among venture capitalists in the market more generally, who are now focusing on infrastructure plays rather than token deals. "You're now building where there is demand," she said. "If you look at where the center of gravity is right now for crypto, because retail has largely evaporated… the center of gravity really and the attention and the spotlight are on other founders who are building crypto startups, they're on builders that need developer tools to enhance the DX or developer experience."

What does it mean to live life from a new center of gravity? So many of us live life from our heads. We make decisions based on pro's and con's We create our lives from maps that are created often by others expectations and versions of what is best for us. We try to control and plan and feel exhausted because well the nature of life is change! What if we lived life from a new place? From a new center of Gravity? What would that look and feel like? A place that is more true, more you and more aligned. A place that relies on your internal GPS and thrives in the mystery of each and every moment. That allows change to be. In this podcast I explore what it means to live life from a new center of gravity and how we can begin to step into alignment with that. ---------------------- If you are interested in the Soul Print Journey head over to soulmidwifejulie.com/soul-print to register.

Our center of gravity is made up of old beliefs and self-concepts that have taken root in our consciousness and now comprise our mental and emotional "comfort zone." Since we greatly underestimate the power of our center of gravity, we believe that permanent changes in habit and lifestyle are much easier to accomplish than they really are. Our willpower provides us with the impetus to make the changes, but once our willpower is exhausted, we need to work at a deeper level in order to sustain those changes. In this episode, Matthew and Leona discuss the importance of understanding the way our center of gravity works and provide us with methods to lift ourselves from limited and self-defeating mindsets.
"If we want a more effective health care system, it needs to be re-engineered to revolve around the true center of gravity – the patient. We must involve patients early and often in the design of health policy, health technology, and health care ecosystems. We must reinvent health care payment models to tie incentives to what is of value to patients. And we must give every American access to a high-quality PCP. Until we do this, we'll continue to pay too much money for too little value, and we'll all suffer in a system perfectly designed to keep getting the results it's getting."

Read the final report here The aircraft was departing from Runway 26 at London Luton Airport, but when the PF made a normal aft movement of the side stick control at rotation airspeed, the aircraft did not pitch up. The PF increased the side stick input close to the maximum deflection. When the aircraft still did not pitch up, the PM selected TOGA thrust. The aircraft responded and a climb was commenced but then the pilots forgot to retract the landing gear till about 5000ft. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/safetymatters/message
Airbus and Boeing have had their share of the center of gravity issues due to placing the bigger engines under the wings. This was an opportunity to build a new medium range aircraft but the existing ones were selling like hot cakes, so it didn't make much business sense. They now have to deal with basic issues like the center of gravity. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/safetymatters/message
