The Satmar Rav, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum, was rescued on the Kastner train. How did this great leader of Hungarian Orthodoxy and chassidic community, who was well known for his vocal opposition to Zionism, receive a place of rescue on the train which was organized by the secular Zionist Aid and Rescue Committee of Budapest? Insights into his inclusion broadens our understanding of how the rescue train story developed. Other famous individuals were rescued on the Kastner train as well. In conclusion it's worth summarizing the entire story of the negotiations with the SS and the rescue train's departure from Budapest, through its stay in Bergen-Belsen. Clarifying the chronological sequence of events will provide a good review of the entire train story, so that we can transition to the story of the trial in the next installment.  Subscribe to Jewish History Soundbites Podcast on: PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ or your favorite podcast platform Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history or feedback contact Yehuda at: yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! And Happy New Year… welcome to 2026. Before the goals, resolutions, planners, and pressure of a brand-new year take over, this episode is a moment to pause together. If you're ending one year exhausted and quietly hoping the next one will feel different… you're not alone. So many working moms start the year with good intentions, only to find themselves right back in survival mode… reacting instead of choosing, feeling behind instead of grounded, and wondering where the time went. In this short episode, I'm speaking to you not just as a coach… but as another working mom who's been there. Inside this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why motivation fades… and why that's not your fault ✨ Why planning tasks without priorities keeps us stuck ✨ How to stop letting another year just “happen” to you ✨ What it really means to design a year around your life… not the other way around This is not about doing more. It's not about hustle, perfection, or a brand-new you. It's about stepping into 2026 with intention.

How efficient is your mobilization sending pipeline for new missionary applicants? Do your current systems and processes meet the needs of your organization? It's always good to evaluate and this episode will help you process where your gaps might be and how you can improve your pipeline from inquiry to boots on the ground. We're getting very practical today so gather your staff and take notes. And then visit the show notes at https://gospelmobilization.org/podcast for a free downloadable workbook to help you and your team evaluate and customize the pipeline process that works best for you.   Here's what Dave asked Micah during the interview: When we think about our organization's sending pipeline, where should we start? What are some tools that can help us create efficient sending pipelines? As we are evaluating our pipeline and process, we may discover some gaps. How should we address those? How can mobilizers navigate wanting to vet applicants well with an efficient or even simple pipeline process? Do you think it's better for an applicant to stay with one mobilizer (or coach) throughout the entire sending process, or should we "hand off" applicants to other experts throughout the pipeline? Why? What's the craziest story you've ever heard with regards to the mobilization sending pipeline?

As we look ahead to the new year, Pastor Maiola looks back to remember our vision as a church. Rather than introducing a new vision, Maiola introduces The Four Pillars, basing them off of timeless Biblical principles, making them practical and portable for everyday life. Together, these four pillars unite the heart and vision here at One Love: living for God's glory, standing firm in the power of the Gospel, loving faithfully to disciple others, and being sent to make disciples in the world.

From undergraduate research seminars at Princeton to winning Best Paper award at NeurIPS 2025, Kevin Wang, Ishaan Javali, Michał Bortkiewicz, Tomasz Trzcinski, Benjamin Eysenbach defied conventional wisdom by scaling reinforcement learning networks to 1,000 layers deep—unlocking performance gains that the RL community thought impossible. We caught up with the team live at NeurIPS to dig into the story behind RL1000: why deep networks have worked in language and vision but failed in RL for over a decade (spoiler: it's not just about depth, it's about the objective), how they discovered that self-supervised RL (learning representations of states, actions, and future states via contrastive learning) scales where value-based methods collapse, the critical architectural tricks that made it work (residual connections, layer normalization, and a shift from regression to classification), why scaling depth is more parameter-efficient than scaling width (linear vs. quadratic growth), how Jax and GPU-accelerated environments let them collect hundreds of millions of transitions in hours (the data abundance that unlocked scaling in the first place), the "critical depth" phenomenon where performance doesn't just improve—it multiplies once you cross 15M+ transitions and add the right architectural components, why this isn't just "make networks bigger" but a fundamental shift in RL objectives (their code doesn't have a line saying "maximize rewards"—it's pure self-supervised representation learning), how deep teacher, shallow student distillation could unlock deployment at scale (train frontier capabilities with 1000 layers, distill down to efficient inference models), the robotics implications (goal-conditioned RL without human supervision or demonstrations, scaling architecture instead of scaling manual data collection), and their thesis that RL is finally ready to scale like language and vision—not by throwing compute at value functions, but by borrowing the self-supervised, representation-learning paradigms that made the rest of deep learning work. We discuss: The self-supervised RL objective: instead of learning value functions (noisy, biased, spurious), they learn representations where states along the same trajectory are pushed together, states along different trajectories are pushed apart—turning RL into a classification problem Why naive scaling failed: doubling depth degraded performance, doubling again with residual connections and layer norm suddenly skyrocketed performance in one environment—unlocking the "critical depth" phenomenon Scaling depth vs. width: depth grows parameters linearly, width grows quadratically—depth is more parameter-efficient and sample-efficient for the same performance The Jax + GPU-accelerated environments unlock: collecting thousands of trajectories in parallel meant data wasn't the bottleneck, and crossing 15M+ transitions was when deep networks really paid off The blurring of RL and self-supervised learning: their code doesn't maximize rewards directly, it's an actor-critic goal-conditioned RL algorithm, but the learning burden shifts to classification (cross-entropy loss, representation learning) instead of TD error regression Why scaling batch size unlocks at depth: traditional RL doesn't benefit from larger batches because networks are too small to exploit the signal, but once you scale depth, batch size becomes another effective scaling dimension — RL1000 Team (Princeton) 1000 Layer Networks for Self-Supervised RL: Scaling Depth Can Enable New Goal-Reaching Capabilities: https://openreview.net/forum?id=s0JVsx3bx1 Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: Best Paper Award and NeurIPS Poster Experience 00:01:11 Team Introductions and Princeton Research Origins 00:03:35 The Deep Learning Anomaly: Why RL Stayed Shallow 00:04:35 Self-Supervised RL: A Different Approach to Scaling 00:05:13 The Breakthrough Moment: Residual Connections and Critical Depth 00:07:15 Architectural Choices: Borrowing from ResNets and Avoiding Vanishing Gradients 00:07:50 Clarifying the Paper: Not Just Big Networks, But Different Objectives 00:08:46 Blurring the Lines: RL Meets Self-Supervised Learning 00:09:44 From TD Errors to Classification: Why This Objective Scales 00:11:06 Architecture Details: Building on Braw and SymbaFowl 00:12:05 Robotics Applications: Goal-Conditioned RL Without Human Supervision 00:13:15 Efficiency Trade-offs: Depth vs Width and Parameter Scaling 00:15:48 JAX and GPU-Accelerated Environments: The Data Infrastructure 00:18:05 World Models and Next State Classification 00:22:37 Unlocking Batch Size Scaling Through Network Capacity 00:24:10 Compute Requirements: State-of-the-Art on a Single GPU 00:21:02 Future Directions: Distillation, VLMs, and Hierarchical Planning 00:27:15 Closing Thoughts: Challenging Conventional Wisdom in RL Scaling

This profound episode is not a typical "alien encounter" story. It may be the first. It is a meticulous, psychological deep dive into the lifelong journey of Nancy Tremaine—from a traumatized 12-year-old silenced in 1961 to the self-described "galactic ambassador" she is today. The narrative, drawn from her memoir and personal recordings, reveals a radical transformation forged in the crucible of institutional betrayal and unimaginable personal trauma.The core mission of the analysis is to understand the alchemy of trauma: how a devastating, isolating childhood event becomes the catalyst for a grand, purposeful life mission. It begins with Nancy's 1961 sighting in Novi, Michigan—a massive, silent craft that immobilized a police car with a beam of light and delivered a telepathic "We see you." The real trauma was cemented not by the craft, but by the enforced silence that followed. Her father, a veteran with apparent insider knowledge, validated her reality while demanding absolute secrecy—a psychological double bind that created what she calls "the root of the trauma."This personal silencing was reinforced by an immediate, coordinated military operation. The retired police chief, Lee Begole, confirmed on tape that the military's sole objective was "to silence everyone so as not to create a panic," arriving with a bias to disbelieve despite the overwhelming evidence. This institutional gaslighting, compounded by missing time and suppressed memories, led to 50 years of debilitating PTSD—a life Nancy describes as being "nothing more than scar tissue."Her healing began only in 2011 with validation, first from a UFO investigator and then through regression therapy. This process unlocked memories of non-human intelligences, hybrid offspring, and a symbiotic relationship with a Draconian reptilian being she calls "Mister." Crucially, their connection is almost entirely non-physical—a communion of consciousness and energy. The symbiosis is transactional: they study intense human emotions through her for a stated goal of genetic evolution, and in return, she receives knowledge, protection, and a cosmic purpose.The episode confronts the most difficult integrations, including severe medical trauma. After pineal gland manipulation by the entities, Nancy developed Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD), a legitimate and agonizing condition. When she sought emergency care, the medical institution inflicted a second, profound betrayal: staff mocked her and permanently documented her crisis as a "sex marathon" in her records. This betrayal mirrored the 1961 silencing, forcing her to seek meaning beyond the physical plane.Her transformation from victim to ambassador is complete when she fully accepts her mission: not to convince, but to inform. The philosophical messages she channels are stark and challenging: "We are you"; "Empathy holds back technology. It is the vehicle that is sacrificed"; and "We are here to avert war." She was shown apocalyptic visions to internalize the stakes—humanity must shed its low-frequency emotions of hate and rage to evolve, or risk being "left behind."Nancy Tremaine's story is ultimately about the relentless pursuit of personal truth against a consensus reality designed to reject it. It forces a unsettling question: Is our physical and emotional suffering—the struggles of the "vehicle"—merely functional data on the road to becoming something more? Her journey from scar tissue to a being of "light knowledge energy" suggests that the answer, for her, is a definitive yes. The destination, as the entities told her, is simply home.Nancy Tremaine's Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B076MKFFT4/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=9a137337-92f1-4454-89c8-9058abb348ba&ref_=ap_rdrGrant Cameron Websitepresidentialufo.org

In this deeply grounding episode of Thrive Today Podcast, host Natalie Born sits down with Thrive Today founder and Victory Church pastor Colleen Rouse to unpack one of the most misunderstood and most resisted topics in leadership: rest. Together, they explore why rest often carries guilt for high achievers, how striving quietly erodes trust and creativity, and why God's design for work has always been rooted in rhythm, boundaries, and grace. From perfectionism and trauma responses to Sabbath mentality and stewardship, this conversation reframes rest not as a reward for finishing—but as the foundation from which healthy leadership flows. If you've ever struggled to turn your brain off, tied your worth to productivity, or felt trapped in pressure-driven performance, this episode offers both spiritual clarity and practical tools to lead from peace instead of pressure. [00:00 – 02:30] Why Rest Feels So Uncomfortable for Leaders • Why the word rest can trigger guilt, fear, or shame. • How modern work culture rewards constant output over sustainable rhythm. • Introducing the tension between high achievement and overachievement. [02:31 – 05:30] When High Achievement Turns into Striving • The internal pressure that drives overwork more than deadlines do. • Why overachieving often leads to burnout, not impact. • How striving reveals deeper issues of trust and identity. [05:31 – 09:00] Rest Begins Before the Work • “Rest doesn't begin when you're done—it precedes the work.” • Understanding Sabbath as a posture, not just a practice. • Why so many leaders struggle to quiet their minds at night. [09:01 – 12:30] Boundaries, Trust, and God's Design for Work • Why anxiety increases when boundaries are absent. • How Sabbath helps leaders recognize when striving begins. • Clarifying what belongs to us—and what belongs to God. [12:31 – 16:00] Grace as the Diagnostic Tool • How to tell whether you're operating in grace or pressure. • Why grace doesn't remove difficulty—but brings ease. • Learning to identify where God is already at work. [16:01 – 19:30] Perfectionism, Trauma, and Leadership Culture • How perfectionism is often rooted in a lack of contentment. • Why control can be a trauma response, not a leadership strength. • The impact of unresolved patterns on teams and organizations. [19:31 – 22:30] Stewardship vs. Ownership • Why leaders often carry weight they were never meant to hold. • The difference between being an owner and a steward. • How stewardship restores margin, clarity, and peace. [22:31 – End] Practical Practices for Restful Leadership • Using Scripture, worship, and journaling to retrain the mind. • Creating margin as a spiritual discipline. • Leading from identity as a daughter and friend of God—not performance. Quotes: “Rest doesn't begin when you're done working—it precedes the work.” – Colleen Rouse “Grace doesn't make your job easier; it gives you ease while doing it.” – Colleen Rouse “You have nothing to prove. You have everything to give.” – Colleen Rouse About Colleen Rouse: Colleen Rouse is the founder of Thrive Today and the founding pastor of Victory Church in Norcross, Georgia. She is a trusted voice for faith-centered leadership, helping high-capacity leaders move from pressure-driven performance to grace-filled stewardship. Connect with Thrive Today:

Episode Description:Most pest control companies rely almost entirely on Google, LSAs, and inbound leads to grow. That's fine for residential… but if you want to build a serious commercial book of business, you need to get good at outbound.In Season 4, Episode 39 of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, host Casey Lewis dives into commercial pest control outbound strategies, inspired by the book Fundamentals of Pest Control Sales by Foster Brusca.Casey breaks down why Google is not the only source of growth, and how “old school,” relationship-based selling—done the right way—can open doors to high-value accounts like restaurants, property managers, warehouses, healthcare, and more.

Single H helps Joe Mills help others

In November of 2024 a practitioner living in Switzerland began experiencing pain and stiffness in her joints. Initially she viewed it as a disease to be treated, but with help from other practitioners she began to look for shortcomings in her cultivation and found deep seated resentments towards her husband, as well as an attachment to erotic desire she had not yet given up. Through focused Fa study and persistent self reflection her symptoms improved and she came to see the tribulation as a gift in helping her improve.

Some of these strategies, called sunlight reflection methods, involve techniques like adding aerosols to the stratosphere to reflect a small portion of solar radiation back into space. Though still in the early stages of research, sunlight reflection and other geoengineering ideas raise complex scientific, ethical, and political questions.In this Keynote, three experts from Cornell University delve into what geoengineering is and what it isn't. Clarifying the science, the panel will separate fact from fiction and discuss why a cautious, transparent, and interdisciplinary approach is essential.This conversation is part of The 2030 Project: A Cornell Climate Initiative, administered by the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability.

Have you ever considered yourself a mystic?  What exactly is a mystic?  What is mysticism?  How does it apply to me?  The mystic, St. John of the Cross, dives into what the “Dark Night of the Soul” entails.  In general, many people just think it refers to hard times.  In this presentation, Deacon Baldwin clarifies that the “Dark Night” is by first giving us examples of what it is NOT! He follows by expounding upon the true meaning of the “Dark Night of the Soul” and the call to a deeper intimacy and love of our Lord.  

A classic TRM episode that starts with Tom's ill-fated attempt to cross a flooded Snoqualmie River (spoiler: no walking on water) and turns into a timely lesson on market returns, diversification, and why comparing your portfolio to headline numbers is usually a mistake. Don and Tom unpack eye-popping 2025 performance across U.S., international, bonds, and small-cap value, warn against recency bias and overpriced active funds, and take several listener calls on Roth conversions, bad custodians, debt forgiveness taxes, and rollover mechanics.

We're back with one of the most loved formats on Passionate & Prosperous: a real coaching session you get to listen in on and apply to your own business.In this episode, I'm coaching Caryn Bothman, a midlife coach and founder of Midlife Mama Co., who supports women navigating the transitions of midlife, empty nests, aging parents, and the “where did I go?” feeling that so many women have at this stage. Caryn is passionate about women's empowerment, personal development, and creating community through workshops, retreats, and in-person connection, but like many newer entrepreneurs, she's feeling the tension between all the things she could do and what will actually build a sustainable coaching business.We dig into where to focus first, how to think strategically about one-on-one coaching vs. group programs and workshops, and what it really takes to attract clients when you don't have a big audience yet. We talk about audience growth, list-building, lead magnets, email marketing, social media, and personal outreach, and why repetition in your messaging is not only allowed, it's required.If you've ever wondered, “Should I be doing more on social? A group program? A workshop? Where do clients even come from?” this conversation is going to feel like sitting in on a private business and marketing strategy session for your own coaching practice.In this coaching session, we dive into:How to reverse engineer your business by starting with what you actually want (income, lifestyle, and how you like to work) and building your offer strategy from thereWhy it's usually smarter to focus on one-on-one coaching first before launching group programs, memberships, and paid workshopsThe real role of workshops, talks, and live events in a profitable coaching business (and why they often work best as visibility + client attraction tools more than primary revenue streams)How to think about audience growth, lead magnets, and email list growth so you have people to invite into your offersWhy only a small percentage of your social media followers ever see your posts—and what that means about being “redundant” with your content, invitations, and calls to actionThe power of personal outreach, DM voice notes, and actual conversations in signing clients (instead of hoping a post, funnel, or sales page does all the work)How to structure discovery calls, follow-ups, and intentional communication so you're not accidentally coaching for free and then leaving people to talk themselves out of getting supportIf you're a coach or service-based entrepreneur in the earlier stages of your business—especially if you love the idea of in-person workshops, retreats, and community experiences—this episode will help you see the order of operations that actually creates a steady, prosperous coaching business.You'll also hear us talk about what it looks like to build your “yellow brick road” of offers and touchpoints over time, so that everything you do—social media, email, workshops, personal outreach, and discovery calls—works together to attract, nurture, and convert the right clients in a grounded, human way.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

Text your thoughts and questions!Practicing genuine gratitude is often overlooked because it's such a familiar term that it's become a bit of a throwaway idea, popping up on every self-care list and journal prompt.

This week, Susy kicks things off with a rant about a major change in Google's search algorithm. Due to new AI involvement , the podcast's 462 previous episodes are no longer easily searchable, as the new system requires full transcripts to mine data. Susy explains her new process for posting transcripts and asks listeners who can't find an old episode to private message her directly for a link.The hosts also field a listener question about the Penelo comb brush. They describe it as a "hybrid brush" with cone-shaped tines and share their favorite ways to use it, such as for detangling and helping to shed double-coated dogs during drying.Next, Susy and Bbird dive into the November 2025 issue of Groomer to Groomer magazine. Highlights include: A discussion (sparked by the October cat issue ) on the benefits of having owners assist during cat grooming. Reviewing an article on "Pet Owners an Underutilized Resource" , leading to a debate on the pros and cons of owners brushing at home. Their pick for the best article: "The Theory Behind the Fluff" by Dylan Gonzalez, which details Asian Fusion styling. Other favorites: an article on exercises at the grooming table , the "flippy dryer" pet peeve article by Jennifer Bishop Jenkins , and Daryl Connor's piece on dryer maintenance. A look at the All American competition winners , including the Day of the Dead-themed People's Choice winner and explanations of the "Compassionate Groomer" and "Clipper Challenge" categories. Finally, the episode provides an in-depth breakdown of Results Rinse , a product Barbara helped Show Season develop. Barbara explains it is an acidifier with detangling ability designed for use when traditional conditioning is too heavy. They cover its many uses:Restoring springiness to coats (like Bichons) without adding weight. Clarifying the coat and removing product buildup or smoke odors. Controlling odor by lowering the skin's pH. Speeding up drying time.         Locking in creative color by closing the hair cuticle.They also share application tips, including using it in a recirculating system or as a pour-through rinse , and Suzy's favorite "magic bullet" combo: mixing it with Best Shot The Max.

Your best friend used to be your first call. Now you have to schedule weeks in advance just to see her, and her new boyfriend keeps calling your friendship "codependent." A listener named Sarah shares: "My best friend and I have been inseparable for six years. We talk every day, we're each other's emergency contacts, and honestly she feels more like family than my actual family. But lately her new boyfriend has been making comments about how 'codependent' we are and how she needs to 'prioritize him now.' She's starting to pull back and it's breaking my heart. Am I wrong to feel like she's my person? How do I communicate to her that what we have matters just as much without sounding jealous or clingy?"

What You'll Hear In This Episode: Why romantic love doesn't automatically rank higher than friendship love How the "codependent" label gets weaponized against close friendships What it means when a partner asks someone to "prioritize him now" The real reason you're afraid of sounding jealous or clingy How to start the conversation without triggering defensiveness When to recognize someone is making you smaller in their life Want to track what's working (and what's not) in your dating life?
