View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony are joined by Jane to talk about her novel Cube The Ball Pit. In this cube, every card is treated as a modal double faced card with Chromatic Sphere on the back side. On top of that, the Cube is also a desert cube, so players must draft their lands and don't have access to additional basics, and every card drafted must be played in your deck. They talk about Jane's process designing the cube and how the rules relate to the particular cards included.Discussed in this episode:The Ball PitData Generated Vintage CubeRecross the Paths Discussing the Ball PitInland Northwest Cube FestCubeConThe Dashcon Ball PitIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

Send us a textMany classrooms use the CUBES strategy for solving word problems. It's familiar, structured, and gives students a clear process. However, in this episode, we explore how traditional CUBES may unintentionally encourage students to “hunt for clues” instead of understanding the meaning of the story. Let's talk about how to shift from keywords to reasoning using the Word Problem Workshop approach.In this episode, you'll hear how we reimagine CUBES to shift students from identifying to understanding:C — Consider the Context: What's the story about?U — Understand the Question: What is being asked?B — Bring Meaning to Numbers: What do the numbers represent?E — Examine the Situation: What is changing or happening?S — Support Understanding: Grapple and discuss before solving.This small shift leads to huge gains in reasoning, confidence, and real problem-solving.

Why Word Problems Are So Hard In this episode, I talk with intervention teacher Sue Griffith about why word problems in maths are especially difficult for students living with learning difficulties, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD and autism. We explore how language, ambiguity and working memory overload can block understanding, and share structured strategies like CUBES and C.O.P.P.E.R. to support clearer problem solving.

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony brainstorm a brand new cube starting from a single card: Genesis Wave. Like the two previous episodes, featuring Goblin Charbelcher and Trade Routes, they expand from a single card considering what kind of environment it would make sense in. They take a few further steps considering more layers of cards that fit together in different ways. They end up with a rough sketch for a cube idea, including some general themes and a few open questions still to answer to turn their initial brainstorm into a playable list.Discussed in this episode:Second Edition of the Cube Will Outlive Magic Playmats Available for PreorderLucky Paper PatreonEpisode 197: Cube Design Iron Chef: Goblin CharbelcherEpisode 182: Emergent Cube Design by Example starting with Trade RoutesIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

In dieser Folge ist die Autorin Raphaela Edelbauer zu Gast. In ihrem neuen Roman “Die echtere Wirklichkeit” schreibt sie über die philosophische Terrororganisation Aletheia, deren Mitglieder die absolute Wahrheit gegen Verschwörungstheorien und alternative Fakten verteidigen. Dass die Ich-Erzählerin des Buches eine notorische Lügnerin ist, stellt das zentrale Thema des Romans zusätzlich auf die Probe und macht die Suche nach Wahrheit zum spannenden Rätsel.Warum es ihr beim Schreiben wie beim Lösen eines Rubik's Cubes ging und wo ihr Philosophie-Studium im Buch durchscheint, erzählt Edelbauer im Gespräch mit Petra Hartlieb. Außerdem schildert sie, wie es ist, sich in die Welt einer unsympathischen, erbarmungslosen Protagonistin hineinzuversetzen und inwiefern das neue Perspektiven erlaubt.Mit einem Buchtipp von Barbara Tóth aus der FALTER-Redaktion!Zu den Büchern dieser Folge:“Die echtere Wirklichkeit” von Raphaela Edelbauer“Jede Sekunde” von Nicolas Mathieu Hosted on Acast.

Zachary is a Northern Arapaho Tribal member who is in the 9th grade at Lander Valley High School, and shares how he came to love Rubik's Cubes of all shapes (they make 12-sided ones!) and sizes, along with other puzzles as well.

Welcome back to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments! I'm Linda, and today's episode is all about the things we can and cannot control, the fads that come and go in our culture, and the value of staying connected with others. From hula hoops and Rubik's Cubes to TikTok dances and food crazes, fads reflect how quickly life shifts. Alongside these observations, I'll share a practical method called Take 5 that helps us reset our minds and find clarity in busy moments. Life brings us moments we can manage—like calling the dog inside—and situations beyond our control, such as technology breaking down. Both invite us to practice patience and perspective. We'll reflect on fads of the past, how they influence culture, and why they matter more than just being short-lived trends. I'll also introduce you to the Take 5 method, a refreshing tool for mental resets. Finally, we'll talk about the importance of staying connected with people of all ages and backgrounds, since relationships and conversations give us strength, clarity, and joy. Key Takeaways We all face situations we cannot control, but our response makes the difference. Fads are short-lived trends that reveal cultural values and create conversation starters. Past fads included hula hoops, Rubik's Cubes, and slap bracelets; today's include TikTok dances and food crazes. Asking whether something is meaningful or just a trend helps us make wise choices. The Take 5 method encourages mental resets: take breaks, engage actively, reduce distractions, stop multitasking, and refocus. Staying connected with others—friends, family, or new acquaintances—keeps us fresh and inspired. Giving and sharing resources, whether time, wisdom, or belongings, strengthens our communities.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have on the show: Ritual abuse, organized abuse, and governmental mind control survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, published writer and author, podcaster, rapper, R&B singer and songwriter, artist, content creator, and a guest many of you who have been paying attention to the survivor movement over the years will be just as excited to hear from as I am: James Casbolt aka: Michael PrinceBorn into a lineage steeped in British intelligence, James was ensnared in a world of espionage and manipulation from childhood. He was subjected to the CIA's notorious MK ULTRA program, where his abuse began at a secretive facility in Nelson, British Columbia, known as Base 9 where children, including himself, were abducted and conditioned under Project IBIS, a program tied to the creation of manufactured “super soldiers.”At the heart of his story lies the Dulce Base, an underground military complex in New Mexico that has been testified on this channel before, shrouded in conspiracy and whispered to house unthinkable experiments involving advanced technology and extraterrestrial entities. James witnessed and endured unimaginable horrors there, including trauma-based mind control programming designed to forge emotionless operatives capable of executing covert missions without hesitation. He speaks of being trained as an assassin, tasked with eliminating threats to the shadowy agendas of global intelligence networks, including a mission to neutralize a rogue super soldier who had stolen a nuclear device.Yet, James's story is not one of defeat but of defiance. Despite the psychological chains of mind control programs designed to isolate him and enforce compliance, he broke free from the mental prison imposed upon him. His awakening began as he pieced together fragmented memories, connecting the dots between his experiences and the global workings of intelligence agencies like MI6, the NSA, and the CIA, which he testifies operated a vast drug trafficking network to fund black operations. His book, MI6: Agent Buried Alive, lays bare these allegations, offering a raw, unfiltered glimpse into a world where power, secrecy, and betrayal intertwine.What makes James's journey so compelling is not just the horrors of his abuse and his incredible testimony - including reptilian entities, underground bases, and mind-controlled assassins - but the unbreakable human spirit that shines through. He transformed from a pawn in a covert game to a beacon of resistance, risking everything to expose a web of control threatening humanity's freedom. His story challenges us to question the unseen forces shaping our world and to find the strength to stand against oppression, no matter the odds.CONNECT WITH JAMES: YouTube for Music:​⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@JamesCasboltKomanderYouTube for Vlogs & Updates: https://www.youtube.com/@rebelnottakenPurchase Album & Swag: https://www.rebelnottaken.co.uk/shop?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwMhX8tleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABp7YVRJZ95HJ4fZv4bnNB-XR8lwPK4-U9UDzOkv6XCK5Edmm-lXtYlQ2s1N3B_aem_NaKNqnjQXpAI7Jzr6x22CgIG: https://www.instagram.com/komander.official/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.Support the show

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony are joined by Dan, a.k.a. “D.S.B” to talk about one of his favorite cube adjacent formats — Stone Soup. 8 players (or as many as you've got!) each bring their own selection of 45 sleeved cards to the draft. All the contributions are shuffled up and drafted as you would any other Cube. They talk about their experience drafting a Stone Soup and how the format plays. Choosing what cards to bring, especially if players don't discuss their choices in advance, is an interesting question, and our hosts go deep into the nuance of it.Inevitably they also meander off the path and talk a little bit about a lot of topics, and a lot about The Dispossessed by Ursula K.

Send us a textWhen a headhunter asked Budd Bentley, "How do you feel about chickens and eggs?" in late 2019, it marked the beginning of a transformative journey. After decades in automotive engineering and technology development, Bentley was about to step into the unfamiliar world of poultry technology as President of PMSI (now Prism Controls).In this revealing conversation with Brandon Mulnix, Bentley shares his unlikely path from solving Rubik's Cubes as a child to leading innovation in agricultural technology. His early career at Prince Corporation taught him a foundational principle: everyone starts on the manufacturing line because "what makes money is when we send product out the door." This grounding in practical operations would shape his leadership philosophy throughout his career.Bentley's entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found a mobile app development company in 2005—two years before the iPhone existed—where he learned valuable lessons about innovation timing and market readiness. When he eventually joined the poultry technology sector in January 2020 (just before COVID-19 changed everything), he brought fresh eyes to an established company. "I didn't even know what end of the chicken the egg comes out," he jokes, but he recognized the passionate team's potential for growth through process implementation.Under Bentley's leadership, Prism Controls grew from 28 to 44 people while developing crucial new technologies like Reach, Eggsite, and Therm. His secret? "Embrace the process, and the process will set you free." By documenting workflows, separating operational activities from innovation, and implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System framework, the company created a structure that could scale without losing quality or customer focus.As Bentley prepares for his next challenge as President of Big Dutchman USA, he reflects on what makes the agricultural technology sector special: the directness of farmers as customers. "You don't have to spend mental energy thinking about what they really mean or what they're really thinking, because they just tell you," he explains. This refreshing honesty allows technology providers to focus entirely on problem-solving rather than decoding communications.Whether you're new to agricultural technology or a seasoned professional, Bentley's journey offers valuable insights into leadership, process development, and industry transition. Listen now to discover how documenting the invisible can transform organizations and set innovation free.Hosted by Brandon Mulnix - Director of Commercial Accounts - Prism ControlsThe Poultry Leadership Podcast is only possible because of its sponsor, Prism ControlsFind out more about them at www.prismcontrols.com

The discovery of “black goo” on a boat in Ohio has created a lot of speculation, especially after it was studied by the University of Minnesota Duluth and found to have “20 DNA sequences... including one that was completely novel.” Black Goo has been seen in countless movies, tv shows, music videos, and even commercials. At its core, the black represents void and abyss, the goo being nothing but an amorphous substance or blank canvas on which to paint anything. On a more literal level, this goo is real, be it faulty asphalt or raw sewage. In the case of what was found in Ohio, it is something very genetically mysterious.  From the X Files and Prometheus the substance is an alien virus or mutagenic pathogen. In District 9 it is a biological agent. In Venom it is a symbiot. In Star Trek it is a conscious of malevolence. In Lucy the substance is a drug that eventually allows for evolution of the chapter into a super-advanced intelligence transcending space and time as a black goo computer - when IBM unveiled their quantum computer it appeared as black goo in a clear black box. A few days previous there were two reports about a creature existing between life and death, and small xenobots operating in human cells after the body has died. The strange creature was called “Sukunaarchaeum mirabile,” a name coming from Japanese mythology: Sukuna & Bikona.  Sukuna translates as “lesser name” or “small" Bikona translates as “divine” or “renown.” The name represses the deity Sukunabikona's diminutive stature and humble or lesser status. It is often depicted as a small figure riding in a tiny boat or working alongside the more prominent deity Ōkuninushi. Boats are vessels of guidance across rivers like Nile or Styx, and they also bring civilizers like Oannes, Osiris, and Quetzalcoatl. A Japanese movie called The Boy and the Heron is the recent release from Studio Ghibili, featuring a heron that acts like Charon on the river Styx. The boat in Ohio that passed black goo was also called the Blue Heron. This black substance can also be found in Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, and Spirit Away. The Japanese connection is made strange when learning that scientists from that country were working on the hybrid creature in the X Files episode Nisei, which also means second generate, relating it to the Sukuna and that which generates secondarily. In other words, Sukunabikona and Nisei are the Japanese version of homunculus, or little diminutive human which in biology acts as a symbol of sperm in the microcosm. In the macrocosm it is the comet. It must not be coincidence that since 2017 we have seen three interstellar objects pass  through our solar system: Oumuamua, Borisov and Atlas in July 2025. The latter two were comets, made distinct by their tail, essentially making them sperm - “panspermia” means the chaotic distortion of life from the sperm comet to the egg planet. The black substance has also been part of the Covid narrative, due to something called black fungus that people have coughed up. It is therefore strange to find black substances in Moderna vaccines that were pulled from the market in several prefectures in Japan. We just learned this month that AG Pam Bondi just stopped an investigation into Pfizer, a company she was once legal counsel for. This comes after her dropping the Epstein client list, part of a large intelligence gathering operation and blackmail ring largely run by the MOSSAD of Israel. Things get even strange when considering that Epstein was working on a human engineering project with scientists and genetic researchers. It must not be a coincidence that the Trump administration on day one initiated the next stage of the Stargate project, pertaining to universal cancer shots or that RFK Jr. at the HHS authorized universal and flu vaccine development. The top four leaders at Pfizer and Moderna are 75% Jewish with ties to Israel, just as the Stargate Project is 50% the same. And to top it all off, on July 4, the President existed a black cube with his wife wearing a white dress and a black strap, both of which appear to represent the Tefillin worn by Jews, the very group RFK Jr. says are the least effected by Covid. That cube also appeared to display what looks like the entity in Mission Impossible, i.e., a truth eating digital parasite.   *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

What do Rubik's Cubes, art, and therapy have in common?

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAfter five full years of Lucky Paper Radio, Andy and Anthony reflect on how their local playgroup, the podcast, and the broader cube community have evolved. They talk about their recent experience of keeping a weekly Cube night going without a local game store and how you can make it work. They also talk about the supportive, casual vibe of their local community and how a young player having a great time cubing is something of a litmus test for a strong community.Our hosts also introduce a new Patreon to support the show, the goal of which is to keep the show sustainable, covering the cost of an editor and other expenses. After years of hard work on Andy's part, the show's production needs to evolve to stay tenable. If they exceed that goal they have bigger ambitions of ways to support the Cube community.Andy and Anthony are excited to use this as an opportunity to record a bonus podcast for supporters: Magic Doesn't Exist. All the Cube discussion will stay in the main feed available to everyone. The bonus feed will be an opportunity for our two hosts to talk about whatever else catches their interest.

Send us a textBuckle up. In this Daily Drop, Jared steamrolls through a Pentagon fever dream where California governors cry about sovereignty, the Air Force funds anxiety nap pods, and Russia's Spiderweb drone strikes are the new nightmare fuel. Meanwhile, Trump deploys 2,000 National Guard troops to L.A., the Air Force downs another billion on wingman drones, and Space Force is somehow both broke and booming.The DoD can't acquire software on time, the Air Force is buying nap boxes instead of fixing actual morale, and Space Force wants $4B more to figure out what they even do. If you were hoping for clarity, this ain't it. But if you like chaos with a side of sarcasm and defense budget insanity—you're in the right place.
