Is James Bond a Code Name has fueled fan debates for decades, and this episode delivers the final, evidence-based answer. In The Final Word, we examine the theory head-on using Ian Fleming's novels, official EON films, and on-screen continuity.  This episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies goes directly to the source. We analyze how Ian Fleming created James Bond. And we discuss Fleming's interviews, drafts, and novels to see if there is a tell here.  We explore the crucial evidence from YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, including Bond's detailed obituary. What do we learn from SKYFALL?  And what about the tie-ins between FOR YOUR EYES ONLY and ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE?  Even LICENSE TO KILL gives us some clues.  We also address popular arguments supporting the code name theory. These include multiple actors, changing timelines, and the reuse of titles like M and Q. Each claim is examined and compared against canon evidence.  This episode explains the difference between code names, cover names, and agent numbers. What do they mean and how does NO TIME TO DIE help us tie all that together?  At one point, in early drafts of the first James Bond novel, Casino Royale, Ian Fleming initially had a name, James Secretan.  We discuss this and why it never made the final novel.  If you want the definitive answer, grounded in text and film, this is the episode. Subscribe to Cracking the Code of Spy Movies and join the conversation.   Tell us what you think – Is James Bond a Code Name?   Finally, do you agree with our assessment here?  Do you think James Bond is a code name, cover name, or the character's real name? Drop us a note and let us know.    Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode.

Host Cary Sinnett is joined by Dr. Brianne Smith, a PFP practitioner, CPA firm owner, and accounting professor at Auburn University, for a timely conversation on artificial intelligence in financial planning. Artificial intelligence is moving quickly into financial planning workflows, but not all "AI" tools are created equal. For CPA financial planners, the opportunity is significant: increased efficiency, deeper insights, and more client-centered communication. The risk lies in adopting technology without fully understanding what it does, how it works, and where human judgment must remain firmly in place. Explore with Dr. Brianne Smith how CPA financial planners can separate AI hype from real innovation and adopt emerging tools responsibly, with a clear focus on supervision, workflow integration, and maintaining client trust. What You'll Learn How to distinguish true AI from traditional automation and why that difference matters in practice Real-world examples of how AI is already enhancing document review, meeting documentation, and investment analysis How to supervise AI outputs responsibly while maintaining professional judgment and client trust How role mapping can help identify where AI and automation can free planners to focus on higher-value client work How AI can support both practice scalability and the next generation of CPA financial planners AICPA Resources: AICPA Personal Financial Planning Symposium Video: AI and Technology Updates for Financial Planning Practices Center: AI Tax Resource Learning: The AI Advantage: Leveraging AI for Efficiency and Impact Center: Tax Research This episode is brought to you by the AICPA's Personal Financial Planning Section, the premier provider of information, tools, advocacy, and guidance for professionals who specialize in providing tax, estate, retirement, risk management and investment planning advice.

Before the Strategy Comes the Union | A Prophetic Word for 2026Stop Letting Assignments Define You and Why God Won't Give Strategy Without PurityAs we approach the close of this year and look toward 2026, the Lord is calling His people back to identity in union — not identity in assignments, titles, or opportunities.In this prophetic message, we explore why offense, deception, and confusion enter when identity is misplaced, and how God is restoring what I call “identity in pass” — a life fully saturated in communion with the Father.This word is released during the Hebrew month of Tevet, a season connected to government and discernment. Tevet is associated with the tribe of Dan and the constellation Capricorn, pointing to the need for righteous judgment, clarity, and proper positioning as God establishes His eternal order.This message is also deeply connected to:The purification of the temple during HanukkahThe miracle oil and the light that only shines in purityWhy strategy for 2026 cannot be released until identity is settledThe danger of letting assignments replace intimacyThe eternal kingdom government revealed in Isaiah 9:6–7 (KJV)This is a season of rededication, alignment, and positioning — where God Himself becomes our identity, and everything else flows from that union.If you are preparing for prayer, fasting, first fruits, and new assignments in 2026, this message will help anchor you in simple, pure devotion to the Father before the next instructions are released.KEY SCRIPTURESIsaiah 9:6–7 (KJV)Romans 6Ephesians 2:6Matthew 6Books & ResourcesJoin Ascend Classes — FREE impartation & activation monthlyMonday December 22 at 10 am and 6 pm est http://bit.ly/4gfRKXmIn USA get your copy of my new book "Cracking the Time Code" to defeat delay and secure God's promises https://www.candicesmithyman.com/shop/p/preorder-cracking-the-time-code-step-into-supernatural-acceleration-stop-cycles-of-delay-and-secure-gods-promises-todayKingdom Wealth Strategies- NEXT CLASS DECEMBER 22 AT 2 PM ESTSign up for “Kingdom Wealth Strategies” for a 6 month COACHING in how to increase prosperity - excellent for marketplace ministry leaders and thoseWanting to dig deeper into God's plan for wealth and prosperous living.https://dream-mentors-transformational-life-coaching.teachable.com/l/pdp/kingdom-wealth-strategies-class-prophetic-communityVisit: CandiceSmithyman.com for books, courses, & prophetic resource

The investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has reached a critical turning point. A Los Angeles County grand jury is now hearing testimony from individuals directly connected to singer D4VD, and the cracks in his inner circle are starting to show. This week, Robert Morgenroth, the general manager of D4VD's record label and president of his touring company, spent three days being grilled by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman. According to reports, Morgenroth was heard in the courthouse hallway telling his attorney that Silverman was aggressive in questioning why he never contacted police after learning a decomposing body had been discovered in his client's Tesla.  His reported response was that he wanted to continue with the tour. Meanwhile, a second witness connected to the case allegedly refused to appear before the grand jury, prompting the DA to seek a body attachment order to arrest and compel testimony. The witness is represented by the same attorney as Morgenroth, suggesting she may be part of D4VD's inner circle. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 years old when she was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024.  Her dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of D4VD's abandoned Tesla in September 2025, one day after what would have been her 15th birthday. LAPD has officially identified D4VD as a suspect, and investigators have reportedly identified a second suspect believed to have assisted in the disposal of her body. Sources say the case has been built using cellphone data, Tesla GPS logs, and social media location tracking. Despite early claims of cooperation, D4VD has reportedly been uncooperative since the start of the investigation and has remained silent on all public platforms.

Most people think men's sexual orientation is pretty straightforward: if you’re gay, you only sleep with men, and if you’re straight, you only sleep with women. But things aren’t always that simple. In today's show, we're exploring a reality that doesn't fit the script—gay men who are out and confident in their identity, but who sometimes sleep with women. I am joined once again by Dr. Joe Kort, the clinical director and founder of The Center for Relationship and Sexual Health in Royal Oak, Michigan. He is a board-certified clinical sexologist and author of multiple books, including Cracking the Erotic Code: Helping Gay Men Understand Their Fantasies. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What are the main reasons why some gay men have sex with women? Why might a woman want to have sex with a gay man? Does your sexual behavior necessarily have to align with your sexual identity? Why do people sometimes engage in behaviors that don’t seem to match up with their sexual orientation?

Although gay men are often seen as being pretty uninhibited when it comes to sex, their fantasy lives tell a more complex story.

In today's show, we're diving into common themes that show up in gay men's fantasies, the psychology behind them, and how to drop the shame.

Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What do sexual fantasies actually mean or represent? What kinds of things are gay men likely to fantasies about? Why are taboo themes so prevalent in gay men’s fantasies? How does porn shape gay men’s fantasies? What do gay men who feel ashamed or confused about their fantasies need to know?

In this episode of Data Skeptic, we dive deep into the technical foundations of building modern recommender systems. Unlike traditional machine learning classification problems where you can simply apply XGBoost to tabular data, recommender systems require sophisticated hybrid approaches that combine multiple techniques. Our guest, Boya Xu, an assistant professor of marketing at Virginia Tech, walks us through a cutting-edge method that integrates three key components: collaborative filtering for dimensionality reduction, embeddings to represent users and items in latent space, and bandit learning to balance exploration and exploitation when deploying new recommendations. Boya shares insights from her research on how recommender systems impact both consumers and content creators across e-commerce and social media platforms. We explore critical challenges like the cold start problem—how to make good recommendations for brand new users—and discuss how her approach uses demographic information to create informative priors that accelerate learning. The conversation also touches on algorithmic fairness, revealing how her method reduces bias between majority and minority (niche preference) users by incorporating active learning through bandit algorithms. Whether you're interested in the mathematics of recommendation engines or the broader implications for digital platforms, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the state-of-the-art in recommender system design.

In this episode of The PowerShell Podcast, host Andrew Pla welcomes Dr. Al Carlson, a cryptographer, mathematician, and engineer whose career spans more than four decades in military intelligence, embedded systems, and advanced encryption research. Dr. Carlson explains how set theory and mathematical patterns underpin all cryptography, breaking down complex systems like AES into understandable concepts. He discusses his groundbreaking work on isomorphic cipher reduction, polymorphic encryption, and how simplicity, not complexity, is often the key to true security.   Key Takeaways: All encryption is patterns – Dr. Carlsen explains how every cipher, including AES, can be viewed as a substitution cipher, allowing for new ways to analyze and strengthen encryption. Simplicity creates strength – Complexity doesn't guarantee security. By distilling systems to their fundamentals, cryptographers can identify weaknesses faster and design better ciphers. Quantum computing and cryptography's future – Quantum computing's potential to break current encryption standards highlights the need for polymorphic and post-quantum approaches to secure data. Guest Bio: Dr. Al Carlson is a cryptographer, mathematician, and educator with over forty years of experience in electronic warfare, military cryptography, and advanced encryption systems. His work in set theory-based cryptographic analysis and polymorphic encryption has influenced how researchers think about code-breaking and data protection.

Bryan Kohberger spent years studying how violent offenders think, act, and survive behind bars. He researched criminal minds, rigid behavior patterns, and psychological survival strategies. And yet now, just months into four consecutive life sentences, the reporting coming out of the Idaho Maximum Security Institution paints a very different picture — not of a mastermind adapting to prison life, but of a man unraveling under the weight of basic reality. Tonight, we break down the flood of grievances, appeals, and handwritten complaints Kohberger has reportedly fired off since arriving on J-Block — one of the most controlled, restrictive tiers in the entire facility. From claims of minute-by-minute verbal threats, to disputes over vegan meal trays, to frustration with the JPay system, to repeated attempts to transfer to a quieter housing unit, Kohberger appears to be hitting every pressure point of incarceration without understanding the culture of the world he now lives in. We also look at what former detectives, prison consultants, and correctional insiders are saying about his behavior — why they believe he's making himself more of a target, why the inmates are taunting him through the vents around the clock, why his reactions are being described as “a jailhouse Karen,” and what this tells us about the psychology that drove him before the murders. And yes — we talk about the now-verified leaked prison footage posted online by a former corrections officer. The Idaho Department of Correction confirmed the video is real. That officer is gone. But the consequences of that leak, and the environment Kohberger sits in right now, are far from over. This episode is also a reminder of the four young lives lost: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Four futures taken. Four families forever changed.

Inside Kohberger's Prison Meltdown — Complaints, Chaos & Cracking Control

The Idaho Murders | The Case Against Bryan Kohberger

Bryan Kohberger spent years studying how violent offenders think, act, and survive behind bars. He researched criminal minds, rigid behavior patterns, and psychological survival strategies. And yet now, just months into four consecutive life sentences, the reporting coming out of the Idaho Maximum Security Institution paints a very different picture — not of a mastermind adapting to prison life, but of a man unraveling under the weight of basic reality. Tonight, we break down the flood of grievances, appeals, and handwritten complaints Kohberger has reportedly fired off since arriving on J-Block — one of the most controlled, restrictive tiers in the entire facility. From claims of minute-by-minute verbal threats, to disputes over vegan meal trays, to frustration with the JPay system, to repeated attempts to transfer to a quieter housing unit, Kohberger appears to be hitting every pressure point of incarceration without understanding the culture of the world he now lives in. We also look at what former detectives, prison consultants, and correctional insiders are saying about his behavior — why they believe he's making himself more of a target, why the inmates are taunting him through the vents around the clock, why his reactions are being described as “a jailhouse Karen,” and what this tells us about the psychology that drove him before the murders. And yes — we talk about the now-verified leaked prison footage posted online by a former corrections officer. The Idaho Department of Correction confirmed the video is real. That officer is gone. But the consequences of that leak, and the environment Kohberger sits in right now, are far from over. This episode is also a reminder of the four young lives lost: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Four futures taken. Four families forever changed. And a man who now sits in isolation filing complaints about bananas while serving the rest of his natural life. Hidden Killers goes deep into the reporting, the psychology, and the cracks forming inside Kohberger's carefully constructed persona.

Today's episode looks at how the traditional financial and policy apparatus around Bitcoin and crypto is shifting from quiet hostility to reluctant accommodation, and what that means for market psychology at this stage of the drawdown. From MicroStrategy building a $1.44B cash buffer to avoid selling BTC, to Kalshi's move toward on-chain tokenization, to Congress' blistering report on Operation Chokepoint 2.0 and the about-face from Vanguard and Bank of America on Bitcoin access, the signs of a changing tide are everywhere.

Pre-Title Sequences Before James Bond and Beyond!

In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, Dan and Tom uncover the hidden history of pre-title sequences long before James Bond ever ordered a martini. We look at pre-title sequences – before James Bond and Beyond. Although the 007 franchise made the pre-title or "cold open" world-famous, it certainly didn't invent the idea. Today, we take you on a deep, cinematic journey exploring when pre-title sequences really began, how filmmakers used them, and why they evolved into one of the most iconic elements of modern filmmaking. What we examine: We break down pre-title sequences starting in the 1930s through more modern movies, including film noir innovations, experimental openings from classic Hollywood, and surprising influences that shaped the James Bond formula. You'll hear examples from Double Indemnity, The Killers, D.O.A., The Great Train Robbery, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, North by Northwest, Psycho, and more. We even examine the fascinating proto-Bond styles found in Viennese Nights (1930), The Public Enemy, King Kong, and other early films that used storytelling before the title card. Then we explore how EON Productions transformed the cold open into a cinematic event. Starting with From Russia with Love (1963), the Bond franchise turned the pre-title sequence into a mini-story before the story, complete with action, intrigue, a fake-out death, and a seamless transition into the iconic Bond title design. Movies like Goldfinger perfected the formula, cementing the expectation that every Bond film begins with a thrilling pre-title mission. We also identify earlier cinematic influences on the Bond gun-barrel sequence. This includes the 1934 film Crime Without Passion and the legendary ending of The Great Train Robbery. Finally, we look at how James Bond's success inspired other genres such as action, horror, and thrillers. We even look at television shows like Mission: Impossible and The X-Files. This is to demonstrate how these shows and movies embrace the cold open as a storytelling weapon. If you love movie history, spy films, James Bond, or filmmaking craft, this episode is packed with insights, references, and fun analysis. Tell us what you think about our decoding of pre-title sequences – before James Bond and beyond? Did you already know this history?  Did we miss anything?

Hugh Grant infamously almost tanked his budding movie career when he was caught with a sex worker on the Sunset Strip. He was arrested a second time when he assaulted paparazzi outside his house…with a Tupperware container full of baked beans. But perhaps most shocking of all, he wore a wire to interview a tabloid reporter and wound up cracking open a phone-hacking case that implicated both the London police and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
