Advent—the time in between—is here. But many of us struggle to feel “Christmas-y” when life isn’t where we hoped it would be. If peace feels out of tune for you right now, this episode is for you. Join Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany – two of the three female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego – as they discuss their Advent Mixtape, exploring how ancient and modern songs can ground us in peace in a world that never stops moving. While most Christmas songs feel light, airy, and escapist – giving the false perception that peace is only achievable in stillness and calm, David’s Psalmody, Psalm 96 – one of the “lesser-known songs of Christmas” – provides a more honest and hopeful vision of peace. In this progressive digital Bible-study conversation, explore: The meaning of Advent as a season of the in-between What “salvation” means in the Hebrew Bible and Psalms How nature participates in healing, peace, and salvation The difference between societal peace and inward peace Practices and touchstones to stay centered amid holiday chaos How music helps reset our anxiety and restore calm We invite you to keep the conversation going as you journey through Advent. Join our in-person Convergence group, visit our Patreon Channel, or gather friends and family to discuss these reflection questions: What role does music play in your wellbeing? What is the “in-between” of here and not yet that you are in right now? What role does nature play in your understanding of being made whole? Want to hear the rest of Our Advent Mixtape? Join us for Season 3, Episodes 14-16, for reflections on hope, joy, and love. New episodes drop Sunday mornings. In today’s episode, we share a selection from Psalm 96 (NRSV), and, as a bonus treat, the full psalm from The Message translation below. As you read it, consider: What tune do you think would fit this modern translation of the ancient song? Psalms 96 1-2a Sing God a brand-new song! Earth and everyone in it, sing! Sing to God—worship God! 2b-3 Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea, Take the news of his glory to the lost, News of his wonders to one and all! 4-5a For God is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs. His furious beauty puts the other gods to shame; Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags. 5b-6 God made the heavens— Royal splendor radiates from him, A powerful beauty sets him apart. 7Bravo, God, Bravo! Everyone join in the great shout: Encore! In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might. 8-9Bring gifts and celebrate, Bow before the beauty of God, Then to your knees—everyone worship! 10Get out the message—God Rules! He put the world on a firm foundation; He treats everyone fair and square. 11Let’s hear it from Sky, With Earth joining in, And a huge round of applause from Sea. 12Let Wilderness turn cartwheels, Animals, come dance, Put every tree of the forest in the choir— 13An extravaganza before God as he comes, As he comes to set everything right on earth, Set everything right, treat everyone fair.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, and Ripley dive straight into the chaos of modern watchmaking and immediately land in the world of Death By Line Extension, a place where brands keep serving new colors and new variations faster than anyone can remember the last thing they released. As Ariel and David just returned from Dubai Watch Week, Ariel explains that someone asked if he was tired of watches, which is hilarious to him because he seems to have a strange superpower that allows him to absorb an endless stream of new releases without losing his mind. The team laughs their way through Omega price increase drama, Rick mourns the loss of the helium escape valve with the seriousness of a national tragedy, and Ripley pitches a country song about no longer being able to afford an Omega. The conversation moves into full Beige Tudor Energy when Ariel admits that a new Tudor release gave him absolutely no emotional response, which is apparently almost impossible. Then comes the Big Bang Convergence Theory, a running joke where Ripley points out that watch design is starting to evolve like crab evolution, but for luxury stainless steel, complete with Hublot-inspired chaos and Zenith pieces that Ariel swears look like artificial intelligence was left unsupervised. The episode continues with stories from Dubai Watch Week, a fantasy about a tractor-themed watch festival on Rick's farm in Scotland, a moon phase that only a werewolf would truly appreciate, and a one hundred fifty thousand dollar Tag Heuer that looks ready to jump into a Formula One pit lane. Listen in and join the conversation for a full buffet of watch industry humor, confusion, passion, and gentle suffering wrapped in beige energy on this week's episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly.00:00 – Intro: “Watch Fatigue” & Line Extensions 01:10 – Special Request: Fewer Releases, More DigestibleSpecials 02:00 – Ariel's Superpower: Infinite Watch Absorption 03:00 – Price Increases & The Industry's ‘Bad Habits' 04:20 – Omega Identity Crisis & Price Creep 06:00 – Country Song Pitch: ‘Remember When I Could Afford anOmega' 07:10 – Bond Watches, Planet Ocean Controversy & TheMissing Helium Valve 09:00 – Rolex CEO Dubai Interview: Overblown Headlines 10:30 – ‘Speedmaster Irrelevant' April Fool's Dream 12:00 – Dubai Watch Week vs Watches & Wonders 13:20 – Proposal: ABTW Farm Watch Week (Scotland Edition) 14:50 – Tractor Watches, Farmer Rolexes & LamborghiniTractors 16:40 – Whisky + Watches Tour Pitch 20:00 – Transition Back to Dubai Watch Week (Finally) 20:45 – Golden Diamonds Hall & Weird Influencers 22:20 – Does Watches & Wonders Have a Problem? 23:00 – Plane Movie Reviews 24:00 – Wearing Watches at Shows: Dubai vs Geneva 25:20 – Moser Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite 31:00 – Audemars Piguet “Robot Watch Setter” Device 35:20 – Zenith Defy Extreme Lapis Lazuli 39:00 – New Tudor 36mm Beige Dial Ranger/Explorer Style 41:45 – TAG Heuer Monaco Split Seconds Chronograph ‘Air 1' 47:40 – Who Gets the 30 TAGs?

Let's bring into radiant convergence all that has been cultivated: the union of inner and outer, the harmonizing of the four bodies, and the flowering of equilibrium into expression. In this space of fullness, we honor the dance between work and worship, the interplay of community gathering and reverent solitude, the merging of new beginnings with old traditions, and the meeting of spiritual awakening with our guiding allies.

In this episode, Ashok is joined by Maya Hari, global executive, board member, and now co-founder of Genie Health. Maya has led teams across Twitter, Google, Samsung, and other global companies, and now sits on the boards of public enterprises like Saint-Gobain. What makes her perspective rare isn't just her resume. It's her clarity around what culture really is, how to measure it, and how to build it intentionally. Maya shares the three signals she uses to assess culture inside a company, how she assembles high-performing, cohesive teams, and why purpose is at the core of sustainable culture. She also speaks candidly about what emotional safety looks like in leadership, including real stories of crying at work, what she calls "cry counts," and how vulnerability, when authentic, is a leadership superpower. Whether you're scaling, transforming, or turning around a team, Maya offers guidance on what kind of CEO you need to be and how to figure that out for yourself.

#EVOLVE25 London was a clear signal that Big Data is entering its third era, and it is about outcomes, not buzzwords. I sat down with Sergio Gago, CTO, Cloudera and we went straight to the shift everyone is feeling. This era is defined by convergence. The work now is to bring on-prem and cloud together so teams can move fast, stay compliant, and keep costs in check. That is where the real AI wins will come from.Here is what we covered in the interview I am publishing next:- What truly defines the third era of Big Data and how it differs from the last decade- Why convergence matters now for performance, cost, and control- Where Cloudera wins today, and where it chooses not to compete- How a unified data foundation raises trust in AI- The new Cloudera + Dell “AI-in-a-box” approach for private, trusted AI- A five-year view of on-prem, cloud, and AI working together- Cloudera's vision to support this shift end to endIf you care about building trustworthy AI on real enterprise data, this conversation will be useful. #data #ai #EVOLVE25 #cloudera #theravitshow
In one of their most explosive episodes yet, Brad and Abbey break down the historic convergence of three massive storylines: the Epstein file release, MBS's White House visit, and the sudden reactivation of long-dormant Q-related themes. They analyze how Congress's overwhelming vote to release the Epstein records aligns with Trump's timing, MBS's trillion-dollar U.S. investment announcement, and the media's desperate attempts to redirect the narrative. Brad digs into the Q posts on Epstein, tunnels, temples, handlers, flight logs, Rachel Chandler, Maxwell, royal connections, and shows how they're all resurfacing at the exact moment MBS steps onto U.S. soil. Abbey connects the dots on psychological operations, Trump's bait-and-trap strategy, and why major players like Larry Summers and Reid Hoffman are suddenly on defense. Together they dissect Trump's brutal ABC takedown, the political fallout, Italian “human safari” investigations, Saudi purges, and the global power shift underway. With live clips, receipts, historical context, and raw emotion, this episode maps the moment the past, present, and the Q timeline crash into each other.
Is our education system stifling creativity by sticking to labels and standardized solutions—or can we truly unleash the creative potential of every student and teacher? In this dynamic debrief episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, hosts Dr. Matthew Warwood and Dr. Cindy Burnett reflect on three thought-provoking interviews covering the future of gifted education, repurposing technology for creative teaching, and preparing students for the future of work. They revisit Dr. Catherine Little's insights around needs-based approaches in gifted education, emphasizing the importance of individualized learning rather than labeling, and discuss how this philosophy could be applied from K-12 through university. The conversation also addresses the challenge of balancing student interests with exposure to diverse domains, questioning when and how schools should encourage specialization versus broad exploration. The hosts then pivot to their discussion with Dr. Punya Mishra about technology's evolving role in the classroom, highlighting the necessity for teacher creativity and agency when integrating new tools like AI, and noting the potential drawbacks of overly prescriptive tech solutions. Wrapping up with takeaways from Dr. Ronnie Reiter Palman, they delve into the nuances of creative problem solving in an AI-influenced world—exploring how AI often produces “middle of the road” ideas and how educators must coach students to develop and recognize genuinely creative solutions. Don't miss this lively conversation packed with practical strategies, critical reflections, and insights into creativity, technology, and gifted education's future.

This week on Birds of a Feather Talk Together, we're exploring one of the rarest, most extraordinary birds on the planet: the spoon-billed sandpiper—a tiny shorebird with one of nature's most fascinating evolutionary surprises.If you caught our recent YouTube video where John compared a Roseate Spoonbill at the Field Museum to the delicate spoon-billed sandpiper specimen, you already know we love a good convergent evolution story. Two completely unrelated birds… both evolving their own version of a spoon-shaped bill. Nature never misses.In this episode, we go deeper: • How the spoon-billed sandpiper lives • Why this critically endangered species is so incredibly rare • The conservation challenges pushing it to the brink • And what makes this small shorebird so endlessly remarkableJoin married couple Dr. John Bates and Dr. Shannon Hackett, curators of birds at Chicago's world-renowned Field Museum, along with RJ Pole, and his wife Amanda, as we unpack the science, stories, and pure wonder behind the spoon-billed sandpiper.Whether you're a birder, nature lover, museum nerd, or curious listener, this episode is packed with insights into one of the most unique birds on Earth.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow: YouTube Instagram TikTok BlueSky
Did you happen to notice that Tylenol recently launched a dietary supplement product range designed to promote joint comfort and mobility? When the best-selling pain relief brand in the U.S. market launches a drug-free product range…it not only speaks volumes about shifting consumer attitudes from treatment to prevention, but also about the increasing importance of supplements for the pharmaceutical industry. And maybe unsurprisingly to my fellow industry nerds, but this new product launch further strengthens the pharma-nutra convergence trend. In fact, pharmaceutical companies have been increasingly tapping into the preventive segment…seeking new revenue opportunities to mitigate against numerous factors hampering industry profits. Therefore, even during periods of relatively strong demand for OTC drugs, supplements still present an important opportunity to expand the product offering…thus we expect this trend to continue and likely permanently reshape the nutraceutical industry.
We are excited about the vision the Lord has given us for 2026! In this message, we hear from our team as they lay out the vision and initiatives for next year. As a church family, we are launching into 2026 together to see people encounter Jesus and cities transformed. The best is yet to come!
Progressive Christian Podcast on Faith, Justice & Reconciliation — Weekly Scripture: Micah 6:8 — “Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.” Join Rev. Brittany and special guest Leo Djamson for an inspiring and deeply honest conversation about faith, racial justice, and cultural understanding through the lens of First United Methodist Church of San Diego’s Sankofa Pilgrimage to Ghana – exploring the lasting effects of the transatlantic slave trade and how it’s shaped the beautifully diverse and resilient people of Ghana. It’s an impactful journey of discovery for all involved regardless of heritage, upbringing, personal experiences, and political beliefs. This pilgrimage is one of the ways that the church lives out Micah’s call to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. It’s all about embracing racial justice and loving kindly as we uncover and unpack some of the history of our ancestors that influence our implicit biases and contribute to today’s continuing racial tensions.

In October, stakeholders representing an unusual combination of sectors — public, private, academic, non-profit and journalism — gathered with insurance industry experts at the 10X Convergence in Jacksonville, Florida, to explore solutions to unsustainable insurance and disaster recovery costs throughout the Interstate 10 region.Insurers continue to cancel homeowners policies across California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida as exposure to accelerating billion-dollar disasters undermines carriers' ability to pay out claims while remaining solvent. The industry crisis has begun to spread northward, where a widening Tornado Alley sees growing impacts from property-damaging storms. This is a complex, all-hands-on-deck issue. Insurance practices and building standards have not adapted to the realities of climate change, and have neglected potential to be of powerful mutual support to one another. On the whole, 10X Convergence participants were clear that viable solutions will require a combination of applied climate and economic research with proactive governance and communications strategies, and that this must be matched by industry willingness to innovate its systems of underwriting and community development. In this podcast, Ten Across journalists Maya Chari and Taylor Griffith take you through the problems and potential solutions discussed by the diverse group of experts at the 10X Convergence.

Tonight's episode shares one of the most detailed and disturbing alien abduction accounts ever recorded — the story of Marcus, a man forever changed by a childhood encounter in rural Minnesota in 1994. What began as a single night of terror evolved into decades of systematic visitation and transformation, revealing an agenda that challenges everything we know about the UFO phenomenon.Marcus's experiences defy explanation. From paralysis and levitation into a silent craft hovering above the pines to his eventual role as an “interface” between human and post-human consciousness, his testimony offers unprecedented insight into the purpose behind abductions.A trained electrical engineer, Marcus spent years trying to rationalize his encounters, documenting physical evidence including an unexplained implant and altered biological markers.He describes a vast hybrid program, introducing beings engineered to bridge humanity and something beyond — entities that may already walk among us, preparing for what they call The Convergence. His accounts of knowledge downloads, advanced mathematics, and shared memories suggest a disturbing truth: these visitors may not be extraterrestrials at all, but evolved humans ensuring their own survival through time. Whether you believe his story or not, Marcus's account forces us to confront profound questions about consciousness, evolution, and the future of our species.Listener discretion is advised. This is not just an abduction story — it's a revelation that blurs the line between horror, prophecy, and human destiny.

Based on John 21:1-13 In this episode of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast, Rev. Hannah and Rev. Trudy wrap-up the Our Money Story stewardship series. They explore what it means to respond to God’s call — both personally and as a faith community. Inspired by the “postscript” chapter of John’s Gospel, this conversation dives into the miraculous breakfast on the shore: a moment that combines miracle, relationship, and eucharist — reminding us that the resurrection isn’t just about following Jesus, but about how we live, belong, and serve together. Join the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego as they unpack what this story means for our stewardship journey: How do we respond to God’s invitation when we feel empty or discouraged? What does it mean to bring what we have — our time, talent, and treasure — to feed the community? How can we honor our different gifts and responses as part of one thriving body of faith? This is a story of recommissioning — a reminder that the call continues and the story is still being written. We invite you to continue to think about how we can respond to God’s call as a faith community today. Join our in-person Convergence group or our online community at patreon.com/fumcsd. Here are the discussion questions for this episode: Have you ever had to keep trying even when there were no results from your efforts? Have you ever responded “No” to God? Have you ever said “Yes,” and were unexpectedly blessed in doing so? Our Patreon community is open to all — wherever you are on your spiritual journey. It’s free to join and connect over weekly questions, with optional paid tiers for bonus content and deeper engagement. Series Recap: Our Money Story invited us to reimagine how we view and use our resources — not just as individuals, but as a community called to generosity, participation, and response.

The Final Ai BEAST System Merging Public and Private DATA Larry Ellison recently, Oracle Ai Cloud Service Company, recently spoke at an Ai conference that outlines major findings about your future of total enslavement to the BEAST Ai little God. The VCAST will answer the following questions about the final beast ai little god system: 1. Tower of BABEL 2.0, BEAST System big Picture strategies to steal your soul via BCI and the technocracy government that will tokenize everything including you. All things will be measured and monitored by the Ai satanic brain. 2. Why and how is Oracle at the tip of the spear for Ai Beast Backbone (One World Gov) leaning on private and public data. Oracle trains the big four Ai platforms and has most of the high value private data (personal and corporations) that they are using Ai to reason against. What could go wrong and how could this be used against you? a. If your DNA changed from the poke, do you have rights to your privacy? b. Think of TikTok, CBS, BET, Paramount feeding Oracles Ai private and public databases for Ai to monitor and reason against. 3. Convergence of Enslavement a. Inflation with electricity / water (used by Ai STARGATE) and car, home, and health insurance b. Future job cuts – Larry talks often about no humans to make products c. Smart TECH (control consumption), while his data center uses extreme amounts of water to cool the servers and electricity d. Total Ai monitoring and control with a digital id 4. As the Days of Noah DNA defilement of food supply / and you. There is a strong desire to know get your blood under the guise of healthcare. With your blood, they have your Genes / DNA. Is Larry an agent of Israel and how does this fit scripture?
Nowadays, the Parisian neighborhood of Châtelet is known among young people as a gathering place where they flirt, take part in consumerism at its fullest within a large shopping mall, and engage in street interviews with absurd or provocative questions. This episode explores the patterns that have led to the convergence of youth toward this specific area of Paris, often coming from distant suburbs. Once synonymous with life, identity expression, entertainment, and leisure, this place now faces increasing scrutiny from authorities, who try to limit gatherings through police presence—often stopping young men and women without real justification.Authorities seek peace and a neutralized space, whereas the youth longs for a place to express itself. This policy of neutralization reflects a broader pattern of silent domination imposed by bourgeois categories seeking to preserve their power and social monopoly. These recent attempts at regulation in the heart of Paris can be seen as part of a broader effort to advance gentrification—running counter to the very urban DNA of this area, which was meant to be occupied and shared by all.This episode was prepared with the following academic works: Charpy, M.

In this week’s episode, Rev. Brittany and Rev. Trudy continue the Our Money Story series with a deep dive into the concept of Jubilee — one of the “holiness codes” of Leviticus. What does it mean to live a life of holiness, stewardship, and community in a world that often feels far from those ideals? As the people of Israel prepared to enter the Promised Land, they were asked to imagine a new way of living — one marked by rest, release, and restoration. The Jubilee year invited them to reset by freeing servants and forgiving debts. It was a remembrance that everything ultimately belongs to God. The female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego explore: • How holiness is dynamic — something practiced with intention and vigilance • What Jubilee teaches us about community, stewardship, and freedom • Why imagining a new way of being is the first step toward living it • How modern communities can embody Jubilee through inclusion, acceptance, and generosity Through the digital Bible study, we’re reminded that even though Jubilee may seem impossible to live out on a large scale, there’s incredible power in small, grassroots acts of forgiveness and freedom. We invite you to continue to reimagine Jubilee for the modern world. Join our in-person Convergence group or our online community at patreon.com/fumcsd to discuss the questions for this episode: What would you imagine if Jubilee was practiced? What would you do if all of your debts were forgiven? What do you think would surprise you if you learned a little more about someone who was living on the streets?

In this episode, Ashok shares a story from a long established services company with a big vision for transformation. The leadership team set their sights on launching a new AI enabled membership business. The original plan involved technology, acquisitions, and a long wait before revenue or even a customer touchpoint. Instead of waiting nine months to learn whether the idea would land, they adopted a lean and human centered approach that created clarity and momentum in weeks. Ashok walks through how they reduced risk, accelerated learning, and positioned the business for success without gambling its future. What You Will Learn • How to de risk technology and AI initiatives before large capital commitments • How your sales/field team can be a valuable source of insights • Practical ways to bring field teams into the innovation process • How to measure progress without waiting months for revenue or adoption • A repeatable approach for CEOs to test assumptions and move with confidence This episode is designed for CEOs and operators of traditional businesses with ambitions to create new revenue streams through technology, AI, or subscription models.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Richard Savoie, co-founder of Adiona, whose AI-powered logistics platform is transforming how goods travel through urban environments. Richard's background as a patent-holding engineer and mentor in the medical device field gives him a unique perspective on precision, quality, and human-centered design. At Adiona, he applies that same discipline to logistics, helping delivery networks run smarter, leaner, and more sustainably. His FlexOps platform uses AI to optimise routes, model EV fleet conversions, and create digital twins of operations so companies can reduce emissions and increase efficiency—without replacing the people who make it all work. In our conversation, Richard shares why he believes in a humanistic approach to AI that empowers drivers, dispatchers, and warehouse workers instead of automating them out of existence. We also explore how Adiona's scenario modelling helps global brands like Coca-Cola and Australia Post cut costs while meeting 2030 sustainability goals, and what the future might hold as AI and robotics begin to converge for last-meter delivery. So, could the next big sustainability breakthrough come from reimagining the routes that already exist? And how might AI reshape the logistics networks that keep our world moving? I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening.
"What is life?" - asks Chris Kempes, a professor at the Santa Fe Institute.Chris explains that scientists are moving beyond a purely Earth-based, biological view and are searching for a universal theory of life that could apply to anything, anywhere in the universe. He proposes that things we don't normally consider "alive"—like human culture, language, or even artificial intelligence; could be seen as life forms existing on different "substrates".To understand this, Chris presents a fascinating three-level framework:- Materials: The physical stuff life is made of. He argues this could be incredibly diverse across the universe, and we shouldn't expect alien life to share our biochemistry.- Constraints: The universal laws of physics (like gravity or diffusion) that all life must obey, regardless of what it's made of. This is where different life forms start to look more similar.- Principles: At the highest level are abstract principles like evolution and learning. Chris suggests these computational or "optimization" rules are what truly define a living system.A key idea is "convergence" – using the example of the eye. It's such a complex organ that you'd think it evolved only once. However, eyes evolved many separate times across different species. This is because the physics of light provides a clear "target", and evolution found similar solutions to the problem of seeing, even with different starting materials.**SPONSOR MESSAGES**—Prolific - Quality data.

Welcome to ACR Convergence 2025 in Chicago! Here, Dr. Hausmann delivers a quick update on what our podcasts will cover while the meeting is in session. Don't forget to tune in to ACR on Air and ACR Journals on Air each morning, starting this Saturday, to catch up on the latest in Rheumatology
In this episode of Point of Convergence, we explore what it means to "escape the Matrix." Join me as I break down the perspective I've gained from five journeys beyond this construct. What are the implications when "outer space" is found within "inner space?" Is this the key to human liberation?
Most people think their best years are behind them, but Winston Churchill's greatest victories didn't even begin until after sixty. When the world was collapsing under Nazi tyranny, he rose from years of rejection and failure to become the voice that turned history . His story proves that God's timing is never late and your preparation season is never wasted. Churchill's journey will inspire you to see how every setback can be shaping the convergence moment when your purpose, experience, and destiny finally align.
