Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dig into the life of Alexandre Dumas Père — and it's a wild ride. His grandmother was a slave. His father was the French army's first non-white general. Napoleon destroyed that father, and Dumas never forgot it. He wrote over 100 novels, went broke twice, helped unify Italy, and ran the museums of Naples — including Pompeii. Oh, and he wrote a cookbook. Elyse brings the research, Annie brings the questions, and together they make French history genuinely fun. Hit play.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This series is dedicated to exploring little-known—and occasionally useful—trinkets lurking in the dusty corners of UNIX-like operating systems. The echo command is very useful—it prints the arguments given to it, followed by a newline character. (The newline is sometimes also called a linefeed character depending on who is writing or speaking, and has the ASCII decimal value 10.) It has many uses, either in a script or interactively on the command line. The echo utility is used to display text, the value of a variable, or the result of a pathname expansion. It can also feed text to another command in a pipeline. As useful as echo is, it should come as no surprise that it first appeared early on in Bell Laboratories' Second Edition UNIX 1 in 1972. This initial version accepted no options 2 —although the manual page doesn't explicitly say output is followed by a newline character, the description of writing "as a line" seems to imply it. In Seventh Edition UNIX, the manual page 3 makes that clear, and also features the addition of the -n option, which causes echo to print the arguments without a trailing newline character. Eighth Edition UNIX's echo 4 gained the -e option, which allows certain escape codes from the C programming language to be used. These variations caused differences in behavior between different versions of echo . Will running echo -n something on your system output the text "something" without a newline, or "-n something" followed by a newline? Things get even trickier when the command arguments include parameter or pathname expansions. If there are files named "-n" and "something" in the current directory, what does echo * output? Like the previous question, that depends on whether or not your version of echo treats -n as an option. You can't get around this ambiguity by quoting or escaping the "*", because that just causes echo to print a literal asterisk. Example using GNU utilities on Debian 12; both the "echo" utility and the "echo" builtin of bash recognize "-n" as an option. $ ls -1 -n something $ echo * something$ #Shell prompt is on the same line because "-n" was treated as an option to echo $ echo "*" * The solution was to create a new utility, which is the first UNIX Curio for today: printf . This command allows a user to print text similar to the way the identically-named function works in the C programming language. You run printf 5 followed by a format string, followed by zero or more arguments. No newline characters are printed unless specifically indicated by the format string or the arguments. To use printf to print "something" without a newline, that would just be printf something . This demonstrates that you don't need any arguments—in this example, the format string is just a set of regular characters to be displayed. If you wanted a newline character at the end, printf "somethingn" would give you that. (In this case, the format string needs to be quoted so the "n" isn't interpreted by the shell.) In addition to "n" for a newline, you can also use "a" for an alert (rings the terminal bell), "b" for a backspace, "f" for a formfeed, "r" for a carriage return, "t" for a horizontal tab, "v" for a vertical tab, and "" to get a literal backslash. In addition to these special characters, any arbitrary byte can be included using a backslash followed by one to three octal digits; however, it might be difficult to predict what will be output because it can differ based on the character set the terminal is using. It is safer and more portable to stick to the pre-defined characters if possible. The real magic of the printf utility comes from using "conversion specifications" in the format string. Probably the simplest of these to explain is the "%s" conversion specification—it represents a string of any length. The command printf "Hi, %s, how are you?n" followed by a list of names would print the greeting for each name, putting it in the place occupied by the "%s". $ printf "Hi, %s, how are you?n" Alice Bob Carol Hi, Alice, how are you? Hi, Bob, how are you? Hi, Carol, how are you? The format string is reused as many times as needed to consume all of the arguments. Take, for example, the command printf "Hi, %s, have you met %s?n" . If this is run with two name arguments, it would print the sentence on one line, using both names. If run with four name arguments, it would print the sentence twice, once with the first two names and again with the second two names. If you only gave it three names, the last "%s" conversion specification would be replaced with a null string. $ printf "Hi, %s, have you met %s?n" Alice Bob Hi, Alice, have you met Bob? $ printf "Hi, %s, have you met %s?n" Alice Bob Carol David Hi, Alice, have you met Bob? Hi, Carol, have you met David? $ printf "Hi, %s, have you met %s?n" Alice Bob Carol Hi, Alice, have you met Bob? Hi, Carol, have you met ? Three other items can also be given in each conversion specification: flags, the field width, and the precision. The exact meanings of these depend on which type of conversion specifier character you are using. For "%s", using a "-" as the flag causes the text to be left-justified instead of the default right-justified, a field width causes the printed field to be at least as long as the number given, and a precision limits the number of bytes written from the string to the number given. $ #Example of %s with a precision value $ printf "Hi, %.3s, how are you?n" Alice Bob Carol Hi, Ali, how are you? Hi, Bob, how are you? Hi, Car, how are you? $ #Example of %s with a field width $ printf "Hi, %8s, how are you?n" Alice Bob Carol Hi, Alice, how are you? Hi, Bob, how are you? Hi, Carol, how are you? $ #Example of %s with a left-justify flag and a field width $ printf "Hi, %-8s, how are you?n" Alice Bob Carol Hi, Alice , how are you? Hi, Bob , how are you? Hi, Carol , how are you? $ #Example of %s with a left-justify flag, a field width, and a precision $ printf "Hi, %-8.3s, how are you?n" Alice Bob Carol Hi, Ali , how are you? Hi, Bob , how are you? Hi, Car , how are you? While "%s" is probably the most commonly-used conversion specification, others are available. A whole set of them are dedicated to printing integer values as a signed decimal, an unsigned decimal, an unsigned octal, or an unsigned hexadecimal number. These also can take flags, a field width, and a precision. I think the details and nuances of all this are too complex to clearly explain here, so I will just refer you to the POSIX "file format notation" specification 6 . Be aware that unlike the printf function in the C programming language, the printf utility is not obligated to accept conversion specifications for floating-point numbers. While some implementations might support this, scripts intended to be portable should limit themselves to the restricted set required by the POSIX standard (%d, %i, %o, %u, %x, %X, %c, and %s, plus %b and %% described below). Two more conversion specifications are worth mentioning. The first is only required by the standard for the printf utility, not the C function, and is "%b". This is the same as "%s", except that certain backslash escape sequences in the argument will be treated specially. This includes all the ones described above except for the one using octal digits to represent a byte. In an argument, this is instead represented by "" followed by one to three octal digits. An additional backslash escape sequence accepted is "c"—this does not print anything itself, but causes printf to immediately halt output. The final conversion specification is "%%", which just outputs a literal "%". You can't use a bare "%" in the format string, because printf expects that to introduce a conversion specification. Be careful not to be tripped up by this when trying to print some value as a percentage. Example assuming that the hypothetical "/dev/batterycharge" file on your laptop outputs the battery charge level (42% in this case). As you can see, in some cases an error message might be displayed, but in others it might just behave in a way you didn't intend without complaining. GNU's "printf" utility and the "printf" builtin of bash both support "%e" as a conversion specification as an extension to POSIX. $ cat /dev/batterycharge 42 $ #Wrong $ printf "Your laptop's charge level is $(cat /dev/batterycharge)%.n" bash: printf: `': invalid format character Your laptop's charge level is 42$ #Shell prompt appears here from the error $ #Right $ printf "Your laptop's charge level is $(cat /dev/batterycharge)%%.n" Your laptop's charge level is 42%. $ #Next one treats %e as the specifier, with the space and "l" as flags $ printf "Your laptop has $(cat /dev/batterycharge)% level of charge.n" Your laptop has 42 0.000000e+00vel of charge. $ #Because no arguments were given, "0" was used for the value to convert Let's go back to the situation I was describing with echo —we have files named "-n" and "something" in the current directory and want to print all their names, separated by spaces. We could do that with printf "%s " * , which would not treat the "-n" as an option. However, the output might look a little weird because there wouldn't be a newline character at the end. We could insert a newline by using "%b" instead of "%s" and following the asterisk with a "nc" as the second argument. The "c" is there to prevent the final space in the format string from being printed after the newline. $ ls -1 -n something $ printf "%s " * -n something $ #No newline was printed here $ printf "%b " * "n" -n something $ #There's a newline, but also a spurious space before the shell prompt $ printf "%b " * "nc" -n something $ #No space before the shell prompt this time Using the "%b" conversion specification can therefore solve one problem, but it also introduces another. Arguments which include a backslash can be interpreted as escape sequences, and many systems are fine with allowing backslashes in filenames. In cases where you're just using the printf utility to display text, it's usually not a big deal if the output looks a little wonky. Where you really need to be careful is when the text is being piped to another program, as control characters and other oddities might cause unexpected results, and can potentially create security problems if processed by a script or utility running as a privileged user. $ #GNU "ls" displays filenames containing a backslash in single quotes $ ls -1 apple banana 'cherry' durian $ printf "%b " * "nc" apple banana $ #"c" in "cherry" stops output immediately The printf utility looks to have shown up first in 1986's Ninth Edition UNIX 7 , though the earliest manual page I could find 8 is from the Tenth Edition. Its first appearance in BSD seems to be from 1990 in the 4.3 Reno release 9 . Two years later, it was added to Issue 4 of The Open Group's CAE Specification. From what I can tell, it did not seem to be in AT&T's System III—presumably the printf utility did make it into System V at some point but I found it difficult to track this down. While echo is still suitable for use where you know for certain that you want a newline character printed at the end and none of the arguments will start with a hyphen, consider using the printf utility instead for displaying text. It offers more flexibility and features than you are guaranteed to get with echo , although it does require a bit of forethought in constructing a proper format string and arguments. That is not necessarily a bad thing, because a script's author should be thinking about what might happen if it is called with "strange" text or filenames. This episode also provides a good case for being careful when naming files—many filesystems will allow you to use hyphens, control characters, quotation marks, and potentially any character other than a slash or a null byte in a filename. As we've seen, some of these characters can create problems for standard utilities. While it can feel limiting, especially for people not using English, the safest filenames to use on a UNIX-like system consist only of characters in the "portable filename character set" as defined by POSIX 10 and where the first character is not a hyphen. This set includes the lowercase and uppercase letters "a" through "z", the numerals "0" through "9", and the period, underscore, and hyphen. Notably, it does not include the space character. That leads me to another UNIX Curio that I only just now discovered while researching this episode. This is the pathchk utility 11 . It can be run with one or more strings as arguments, checks each one against a set of rules for pathnames, and outputs an error message for each problem found. By default, it checks against the following limits on the system where it's being run: maximum number of bytes in the full path, maximum number of bytes in any component of the path, all byte sequences must be valid in the given directory, and the user running the program must have access to all directories referenced. If run with the -p option, instead of those limits, it checks against POSIX limits: a maximum of 256 bytes in the full path, a maximum of 14 bytes in each component of the path, and each component must only include characters from the portable set. The -P option adds warnings if any component starts with a "-" or if the pathname is completely empty. While the exit status will tell you if the checks succeeded or not, I don't feel like the pathchk utility is well suited to be used in an automated fashion, as the exact wording of its output is not specified and checks cannot be selected individually. However, it can be used interactively to validate pathnames you aren't sure about. See the linked specification for full details.

In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, Greg Nettle sits down with church planter, coach, and author Marc Lucenius, lead pastor of 938 Church in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Marc recently released his new book, Rest for the Restless, a practical and deeply personal exploration of how leaders can sustain healthy ministry without sacrificing their souls. Marc shares the story of planting 938 Church with Stadia Church Planting, navigating the challenges of launching a church just before the pandemic, and leading through the uncertainty that followed. Along the way, he learned firsthand the dangers of burnout, resentment, self-pity, and the relentless pressure many church leaders place on themselves. Drawing from his own experiences and years of ministry leadership, Marc unpacks the biblical principle of Sabbath—not simply as a day off, but as a way of life rooted in trust, enjoyment, and freedom. He challenges the common assumption that productivity and spiritual maturity are the same thing and offers a healthier vision of leadership that flows from rest rather than striving. Greg and Marc also discuss how our personal stories shape our relationship with work, achievement, and ministry. They explore practical ways leaders can embrace rhythms of rest, cultivate meaningful friendships, process emotional wounds, and avoid the subtle traps of burnout. The conversation concludes with a powerful reminder that sustainable ministry isn't about slowing down ambition—it's about learning to live and lead from a place of wholeness, trust, and joy in what God has already accomplished.

Egal, wo du gerade in deinem Business stehst – ob du ganz am Anfang stehst, stabil ein paar tausend Euro umsetzt oder auf dem Weg zur Million bist: Wenn dieser eine Satz mit dir resoniert, dann ist diese Folge dein absoluter Pflichttermin. Wir kennen ihn alle. Diesen Moment, in dem man sich abstrampelt, täglich postet, scheinbar jede Marketing-Regel befolgt und am Ende des Monats trotzdem frustriert auf die Zahlen starrt. In dieser Folge räume ich radikal mit dem oberflächlichen „Bro-Marketer“-Blödsinn da draußen auf, der dir in so einer Phase nur ein stumpfes „Kneif die Arschbacken zusammen und zieh durch!“ entgegenbrüllt. Direkt aus einem kraftvollen Hot Seat meines aktuellen 100k Bootcamps nehme ich dich mit in die wahre Tiefe: Wir schauen uns an, was dieser Satz psychologisch, energetisch und biologisch in deinem Nervensystem bedeutet. Du erfährst, warum du kulturell darauf getrimmt bist, immer nur den Fehler in der Matrix zu suchen und warum hinter dem Gefühl, „schon alles zu tun“, oft eine ganz andere, unbewusste Geschichte deiner Kindheit steckt. In dieser Folge erfährst du: - Die Illusion des „Alles“: Warum du in Wahrheit meistens nicht alles machst, wenn du ehrlich zu dir bist, und warum diese Verallgemeinerung die perfekte Schutzstrategie deines Nervensystems vor echter Verantwortung ist. - Der kulturelle Fehler-Fokus: Warum uns Lob so schwerfällt, wir stattdessen süchtig nach kontinuierlicher Selbstoptimierung sind und wie du den Shift von anstrengender Optimierung zu deiner wahren, authentischen Kernversion meisterst. - Du bist nicht das Internet: Warum dich dein Gefühl bezüglich deines Contents oder deines Produkts oft massiv täuscht – und wie du lernst, den Schmerz, die Scham oder die Angst durch deinen Körper fließen zu lassen, um wieder glasklar zu sehen. - Das Ein-Bein-Problem: Warum es dich blockiert, wenn dein Umsatz (von 3k bis 8k) rein zufällig über Social Media reinkommt, und wie du proaktiv und kreativ echte Straßen in deine Geldbörse baust. Am Ende dieser Folge wartet eine wunderschöne, tiefe Embodiment-Übung auf dich. Schließe für ein paar Minuten die Augen, atme durch und verbinde dich wieder mit der Wahrheit deines Herzens. Du bist für so viel mehr gemacht!
This horoscope is for the new moon in Gemini, which happens on Sunday, June 14, 2026 at 10 54 p.m. ET.Get 10% off a personalized astrology report for natal or 12-month transits from astro.com with discount code BRITTANY26 at the link here: https://www.astro.com/brittany26At this new moon in Gemini, we are trying to adjust the way we think and communicate to be smaller, simpler, easier, lighter, and more playful so that we can adapt to a new and better experience of life that has recently arrived.What we realize is that the way to adjust our mind is to focus on our emotions more, first, and primarily. That is because both our mind and emotions are connected — and our mind will naturally follow suit once we adjust the emotions.It is also because our emotions are where we harbor most of the negative feelings and trauma from the past, keeping our mind stuck, that has not yet been resolved — and that we need to slow down a lot in order to better heal and nurture our emotions.Those are both positive realizations. But even though we are beginning to understand that the emotions are the key to adjusting our mindset, we do not actually want to slow down to adjust our emotions. Instead, we would rather stay busy, disregard our emotions, stay in the head, or logically justify our emotions away.But doing that only keeps us stuck even more because we are not doing the one thing we really need to be doing — which is honoring, healing, and adjusting our emotions. As a result, we may feel frustrated and upset.The reason why we do not want to slow down and honor our emotions is for a few reasons. One is because we just feel more comfortable in the mind than in the emotions. Another is that it is more socially acceptable for us to be in the head (because emotions make us weak) and to stay busy (because doing nothing makes us unproductive members of society). And the last, real reason is because the past few years prior to this have been very difficult — cold, dark, and harsh — and that difficult time required us to ignore our emotions, stay busy, and stay in the head as a coping mechanism. It required us to put walls up over our emotions so that we didn't have to feel them during such a hard time and could survive.Well now, the hard times are over. However, the difficult emotions from those hard times, and the walls preventing us from accessing them, still exist. We need to dismantle the walls preventing us from healing our emotions, and then actually heal those emotions in order for us to ultimately adjust our mindset, get unstuck, and move on.What we are going to have to do is become more aware of where the walls are up (preventing us from accessing our emotions), take those walls down, and then heal what needs healing.Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬0:00 - Introduction02:20 - General Themes08:25 - Past Context15:20 - Specifics39:05 - Future41:42 - Advice43:58 - SummaryFollow me on Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/ethereal_astrologyWatch me daily on Horoscope.com:https://www.horoscope.com/us/horoscopes/general/horoscope-overview-daily-today.aspx Hosted on Acast.

Annie Sargent just got back from the Allier department, dead center of France, and almost nobody visits it. In this episode, she sits down with Elyse Rivin to talk about Vichy, Moulins and her trip. Annie shares what surprised her: a gorgeous Art Deco café, and a 19th-century mansion frozen in time for a hundred years and empty streets in Vichy in December. Elyse then digs into Vichy's real history, the Romans, hot springs, and a beautiful pottery called sigillée, long before it became famous for World War II. They also cover medieval villages, forests, and a local wine called Saint-Pourçain. Press play to discover a part of France you've probably never heard of. Subscribe to Join Us in France!

This week we're joined by veteran programmer Colin Porch, whose career took him through some of the biggest names in British gaming history, including Imagine, Software Projects and Ocean Software. Colin shares stories of Imagine's dramatic collapse, converting arcade hits like Dragon's Lair, Operation Wolf and Gryzor to home micros, the infamous lost Parasol Stars C64 port, and the technical wizardry behind bringing Head Over Heels to the Commodore 64, Atari ST and Amiga. Plus, we hear the incredible story of Return to Blacktooth, the Head Over Heels sequel Colin began in 1989 and has finally completed 37 years later.

In 1985, 67% of Americans rated pastors high in honesty and ethics. Today? Just 27% - and only 17% among those under 35. It's one of the steepest trust declines of any profession. The question isn't if this affects your church - it does. The question is what you do about it. ============================= Table of Contents: ============================= 0:00 - Intro 1:15 - The Numbers Are Worse Than You Think 3:38 - Why This Happened 13:18 - How to Rebuild Trust Through Communications THE 167 NEWSLETTER

I read this book with absolute passion. While it is a novel, it is truly an epic—the story of a family told through the greatest upheavals and disasters of the 20th century. Although it is set in Greece, we Ukrainians can deeply relate to this story: a narrative where global events shape your life far more than your own plans. It is a novel about national conflicts and population displacements, fascism and communism, World War II, violence from all sides. It explores the trap of "revolutionary struggle," the dilemmas of duty versus life, and self-sacrifice versus human happiness. The novel is called "Niki", and it was written by Christos Chomenidis, a prominent Greek writer. I was glad to meet him in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, where he traveled at the invitation of the Greek embassy and his Ukrainian publisher. We sat down at PEN Ukraine and spoke about Europe, the past, the future, freedom, war, and peace. This is Thinking in Dark Times, a podcast series by UkraineWorld, an English-language media outlet about Ukraine. *** Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, chief editor of UkraineWorld, and president of PEN Ukraine. Guest: Christos Chomenidis, a prominent, award-winning Greek writer. He has traveled to Ukraine despite the relentless Russian missile and drone strikes that regularly target the Ukrainian cities. *** Listen on various platforms: https://li.sten.to/explaining-ukraine UkraineWorld: https://ukraineworld.org/en *** SUPPORT: You can support our work on https://www.patreon.com/c/ukraineworld Your help is crucial, as we rely heavily on crowdfunding. You can also contribute to our volunteer missions to frontline areas in Ukraine, where we deliver aid to both soldiers and civilians. Donations are welcome via PayPal at: ukraine.resisting@gmail.com. *** CONTENTS: 0:03 Intro 2:04 What brought prominent Greek writer Christos Chomenidis to Kyiv despite the ongoing war? 3:05 How does Chomenidis' novel "Niki" weave together individual human stories with the challenging 20th-century history of Greece? 4:12 How does the experience of communism differ between Greece and Ukraine, and what forms did it take in each country? 5:56 How does the novel portray the act of destroying one's own house as a sacrifice to communist forces, and how is this understood today? 7:31 How does the novel explore the tension between duty to a greater cause and the pursuit of individual desires and happiness? 11:12 What main similarities does the author find between the Greek and Ukrainian peoples? 12:44 How did Chomenidis experience the fear of air raids in Kyiv, and what does it reveal about Ukrainian resilience? 15:28 Why was the Soviet Union, and even Stalin, romanticized in some Greek left-wing circles, and how does Chomenidis explain this perspective now? 17:41 How does modern Russian propaganda operate in Greece, and why do some Greek parties support Russia based on "zoopolitics"? 23:17 Do societies with a recent memory of authoritarianism have a stronger capacity or intuition to fight for freedom? 35:12 Why is democracy likened to a "baby"? What is freedom a "muscle" that requires constant, everyday struggle and care? 38:28 What gives Christos Chomenidis hope for the future amidst challenging times?
Running a brewery used to be a simple proposition: make great beer, open the doors and let the taps do the talking. But Anne Abrahamson says that model is outdated. As the director of operations at Cerebral Brewing, one of Denver's most recognizable breweries, Abrahamson helps oversee the business behind the beer. Since joining Cerebral in 2019, she's helped the company grow from one crowded taproom off Colfax to three locations across the Denver area, with a fourth on the way. On this episode of the Voices of Experience podcast, she shares what it takes to run a modern craft brewery, why hospitality has become central to the beer business, and why Cerebral is focused on evolution over expansion. Table of Contents • 1:21 Growing from one taproom to three • 3:18 Why Colorado craft beer is bucking the trend • 5:44 Balancing art, science and spreadsheets • 7:55 Leaning into non-alcoholic beer • 9:42 Making sustainability work for the business • 11:27 Falling into craft beer in Japan • 13:52 Solving problems behind the scenes • 14:49 Building culture across multiple locations • 19:11 Why breweries have to innovate • 19:48 Choosing evolution over expansion • 22:42 Show notes and credits

Listen to this podcast to hear how content restoration vendors are an important resource to guide insureds through total-loss claims. When a claim becomes a total loss, documentation becomes critically important, and how well it's completed directly impacts how quickly a claim can close. David Gavilanes, training manager and regional business coach at Blue Kangaroo Packoutz, explains what good vendor execution looks like on these claims, where processes tend to break down, and what vendors can do to prevent unnecessary delays. In this podcast, you'll learn: n Why an accurate itemization and a clear chain of custody are critically important on a total loss claim. n How ambiguity around disposal authorization and the insured's sign-off on the inventory can stall claims. n How AI-assisted inventory tools and 3D property scanning are reducing documentation time and improving accuracy on total loss claims.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Background This episode describes the contents of an old fishing tackle box I got as a birthday present very many years ago. I used it over the years to gather a pile of mostly useless electronic components and junk. I came across it recently when we were doing a clear out. Mrs X wanted to throw it out. I had a lot of sentimental value due to the long time I've had it. I am a bit of a hoarder and it took a bit of persuasion on my part to be able to keep it especially since I could not think of a single use for any of the contents! I've not had time to add links against all the items. Hopefully I've managed to add links to most of the more unusual items. Apologies if I've missed any.

This horoscope is for the Full Moon in Sagittarius, which occurs on Sunday, May 31 at 4:45 am ET.Book a reading with me on my website at etherealastrology.com/readings.Get daily, weekly, and monthly horoscopes on my Patreon at patreon.com/c/brittanybinowski.We now want to step more fully into a new and better experience of life. As a result, many new, positive, and unique ideas and opportunities are coming up unexpectedly to propel us even further into this new and better experience, which is making us feel very excited and hopeful.But even though many new ideas and opportunities are coming up, we either aren't acting on these opportunities at all, aren't acting on them fully, or are acting on them but in unhelpful ways — specifically ways that are too controlling, perfectionistic, or critical.As a result, we are not able to move forward more fully into a new and better experience of life. That then makes us feel stuck, frustrated, confused, and upset.However, we don't stay in this confused place for long. At this full moon in Sagittarius, we may suddenly get some very significant realizations about why we are stuck and are not fully embracing these new ideas and opportunities in the proper way.What we realize is that the reason why we are stuck is because our mindset is still stuck in the past — in particular, in the long, hard, big, and complex journey it took to get to this point. Because of that long journey, we now believe that everything else must also be long, hard, big, and complicated.We are overlooking these new ideas and opportunities because they are small, simple, and easy (unlike what we have experienced in the past). We are struggling to change our mindset, now that our situation has changed.And not only that, but we also realize that a big reason why our mindset is stuck in the past is because our emotions are also stuck in the past! We also have some uncomfortable emotions about what has occurred in the past that we haven't fully healed from or processed.And not only that, but we also realize that these two things — our mindset and our emotions — and intimately connected. One leads to the other and vice versa. They cannot be separated.This realization is very helpful, allowing us to better understand our situation. However, it doesn't get us entirely unstuck after this point.That is because diagnosing a problem is very different from actually fixing it. We still need time to fix the problem (including healing our emotions and adjusting our mindset) before we can move forward more effectively, which will take a few months until about August.Then, once that is done in August, we can take action on these ideas and opportunities in a more effective way that will actually work — and that is a way that is simple, easy, and fun.Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬0:00 - Introduction01:40 - General Themes05:30 - Specifics27:05 - Advice31:19 - Future36:47 - SummaryFollow me on Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/ethereal_astrologyWatch me daily on Horoscope.com:https://www.horoscope.com/us/horoscopes/general/horoscope-overview-daily-today.aspx Hosted on Acast.

This is episode 600 of Join Us in France — a milestone worth celebrating. Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dig into the life of Coco Chanel. Born Gabrielle Chanel in rural poverty in the Corrèze, she clawed her way into Paris society and revolutionized the way women dress. She invented the little black dress, launched Chanel No. 5 — still the world's best-selling perfume 104 years later — and freed women from the corset. She also collaborated with the Nazis. That part is harder to ignore. Elyse tells the full story, unvarnished. Subscribe to Join Us in France and never miss an episode.

This week, we're joined by Wingham Rowan, creator and host of the pioneering '90s ITV show cyber.cafe. Long before YouTube, Twitch, Tinder and social media, cyber.cafe explored the strange, funny and sometimes shocking human stories emerging from the early internet, from chat room romances and online communities to JenniCam, alien abductees, moral panics, bizarre websites and late-night web culture. Wingham shares brilliant behind-the-scenes stories from making one of the UK's first TV shows to take the internet seriously, capturing a moment when the web was still mysterious, chaotic and full of possibility. cyber.cafe: https://www.ninetiesinternet.com/Contents:00:00 – The Week's Retro News Stories49:52 – cyber.cafe InterviewPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Bitmap Books – https://www.bitmapbooks.comCheck out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needsPlayEXPO Blackpool tickets: https://www.playexpoblackpool.com/We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.comTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohourShow notesMegaWiFi Online Play: https://tinyurl.com/4dd76pruAdventure of Node: https://tinyurl.com/mwfvr62jElden Ring N64 Demake: https://tinyurl.com/3xjw88p2Spyro E3 Statue Rescued: https://tinyurl.com/ydtj225pWindows CE On N64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGS9su_inBYSwitch GBA Link Cable: https://tinyurl.com/5n9bj8p7

Although Russia claims to be waging a war against the so-called West, no other country has officially deployed its military to fight alongside Ukraine. Instead, thousands of individuals from across the globe have made the personal choice to join the Ukrainian defense. Who are these foreign volunteers risking their lives to fight the Russian invasion? What motivates them? What challenges do they face, both on the front lines and back home? How can international military cooperation be improved? You are listening to the Explaining Ukraine podcast. *** Explaining Ukraine is a podcast by UkraineWorld, an English-language media outlet run by Internews Ukraine. Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, chief editor of UkraineWorld, and president of PEN Ukraine. Guest: Colin Freeman, freelance foreign affairs reporter for the Daily Telegraph. Colin has reported widely on British fighters in Ukraine. *** Listen on various platforms: https://li.sten.to/explaining-ukraine UkraineWorld: https://ukraineworld.org/en *** SUPPORT: You can support our work on https://www.patreon.com/c/ukraineworld Your help is crucial, as we rely heavily on crowdfunding. You can also contribute to our volunteer missions to frontline areas in Ukraine, where we deliver aid to both soldiers and civilians. Donations are welcome via PayPal at: ukraine.resisting@gmail.com. *** CONTENTS: 00:03 Intro. The topic of the episode 01:43 Why studying the involvement of foreign soldiers in the Russian-Ukrainian war? 04:11 How many foreign soldiers are estimated to have fought for Ukraine, and why is it so difficult to get exact figures? 06:23 Do European governments encourage their citizens to fight in Ukraine, and how does their stance compare to Russia's recruitment of foreign fighters? 08:56 What is the primary motivation of foreign volunteers for fighting given their modest salary? 09:47 What different types of foreign volunteers exist, from professional soldiers seeking combat experience to "war tourists," and how useful were they on the battlefield? 14:08 Was the initial attempt to integrate foreign fighters through the International Legion largely a success or failure - or both? 15:29 What specific bureaucratic and logistical problems did the Ukrainian army face in integrating foreign volunteers, including language barriers and lack of preparation? 20:11 Why are home governments, like the British, seemingly hesitant to tap into the combat experience of their citizens returning from Ukraine? 26:54 Does the current "blindness" of European governments to this unique combat experience echo historical parallels, like the Spanish Civil War, with potential cultural and military consequences? 30:18 If Ukraine needs more soldiers, how can it improve its recruitment and integration of foreign volunteers to avoid the mistakes of 2022? 34:43 What crucial lessons should European militaries and governments learn from the foreign fighters' experiences in Ukraine for future conflicts?
