Podcasts about definitions

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we're talking about the new veterinary sepsis definitions. Having clear definitions is crucial in making sure we're talking about the same type and severity of disease. Until now, our veterinary sepsis definitions have been largely adapted from human medicine. But let's be honest, our patients who have a talent for hiding illness don't always follow the same rules as humans. Having veterinary-specific definitions gives researchers a more consistent way to compare patients and studies, while giving clinicians a stronger foundation for recognizing sepsis, assessing illness severity, and shaping both today and tomorrow’s treatment recommendations.

It will be stupendous if you know these 10 definitions of words that start with the letter 'S!'If you'd like to choose a specific topic or dedicate an episode to a friend send a donation of your choice to our PayPal (NoChitChatTrivia@gmail.com) or our Venmo @NoChitChatTrivia and write the topic you'd like in the comments: https://account.venmo.com/NoChitChatTriviaOur official store is live!

The larger point about the mystique around the Dead Sea Scrolls is valid, but I'm off about the circumstances of the find. Support the showBlue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/

This episode is all about nonviolent homeschool communication — specifically, the patterns that make it harder than it needs to be. Nonviolent homeschool communication starts here — with understanding these old patterns. And there is one book that has shaped how I think about this more than any other. I’ve read a lot of books on relationships, parenting, connection, and attachment over the years — more than I can count. But Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication is the one I keep coming back to. For me, it is the bible of relationships and communication. And it has changed how I show up in my homeschool in ways I didn’t expect. Here’s what it taught me. https://youtu.be/J7kN_HHX52c?si=jZyaiXFDGyilrnsw But first, how does Marshall Rosenberg define nonviolent communication? NVC (aka Nonviolent Communication) is a language of life that helps us transform old patterns of defensiveness and aggressiveness into compassion and empathy and to improve the quality of all of our relationships. (Definition provided by the Center for Non-Violent Communication). We all have old patterns that need to be transformed. And we definitely notice we have reactive, defensive, and aggressive patterns when we attempt to create relationships. Certainly, we notice this when we saturate ourselves in the homeschool parenting role. The 4 NVC Components That Transform Nonviolent Homeschool Communication Observation: Observation without evaluation consists of noticing concrete things and actions around us. We learn to distinguish between judgment and what we sense in the present moment and to simply observe what is there. Feeling: When we notice things around us, we inevitably experience varying emotions and physical sensations in each particular moment. Here, distinguishing feelings from thoughts is an essential step in the NVC process. Needs: All individuals have needs and values that sustain and enrich their lives. When those needs are met, we experience comfortable feelings, like happiness or peacefulness, and when they are not, we experience uncomfortable feelings, like frustration. Understanding that we, as well as those around us, have these needs is perhaps the most important step in learning to practice NVC and live empathically. Request: To make clear and present requests is crucial to NVC's transformative mission. When we learn to request concrete actions that can be carried out in the present moment, we begin to find ways to cooperatively and creatively ensure that everyone's needs are met. (Definitions provided by the Center for Non-Violent Communication). Here’s how each component transforms homeschool communication in real life. Lesson One — The Homeschool Communication Shift That Changes Everything “What I want in my life is compassion, a flow between myself and others based on a mutual giving from the heart.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life This is what we all want: we want a flow within ourselves and between us. But we’re not all trained to enable that flow. We have walls built up to defend ourselves; sometimes we even have spikes and landmines built up to defend ourselves. Either way, those defenses don’t build relationships. Vulnerability and authenticity allow relationships to expand and grow. Nonviolent homeschool communication requires this foundation first — self-compassion. And that is an easy thing to say and a less easy thing to do. Big Emotions Journal for the Homeschool Mom Are you a homeschool mom navigating the ups and downs of daily life with your kids?

Shop now Lesson Two — Homeschool Communication and Grace “All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently, those people deserve to be punished.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life We do what we do because that is what we know to do in the scenario at the time. And in the words of Maya Angelou, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.“ If we have a growth mindset about life and relationships, how we show up will shift over time. Growth changes everything. Over time, we show up differently in the same scenarios — five, ten, or twenty years later — if we choose that path. Looking back in regret and shame is one option. Forgiving ourselves and growing is another. And when we grow humble and self-aware enough, we realize that others aren’t trying to intentionally cause us pain or friction either. Punishment didn’t teach us when we simply didn’t know better. It won’t serve the people engaging us wrongly now either. So we choose grace — the same grace we’d want extended to our own growing selves. This shift in perspective is at the heart of nonviolent homeschool communication. Lesson Three — What Anger Is Really Telling You “At the core of all anger is a need that is not being fulfilled.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life Anger is that mighty sharp tip of an iceberg that protects our fragile hearts. It’s a useful tool to self-protect. But it also protects or keeps us from connecting with others if we self-protect too hard. Under the mighty iceberg of anger’s sharp tip is a whole lotta other big emotions. You name the emotion, it’s there. And those emotions are always fueled by our unmet needs. Nonviolent homeschool communication asks us to address those needs directly rather than react to the emotion on the surface. So we need to address our own needs and respectfully request that others meet our needs, so that we don’t spend our lives reactively, angrily demanding others meet our needs, and/or never connecting with ourselves or others. Lesson Four — The Danger of Not Knowing Yourself “We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave, think, and feel.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life You know when you’re not a parent and you have heaped judgments on your own parents parenting approaches BUT THEN you have kids??? And all you can think to yourself is DANG, this parenting thing is only easy when I’m not doing it. (& also, I can see now that my parents were doing the best they could do with what they knew to do in their parenting years, no matter how unhealthy things were). Because parenting is SO CHALLENGING at times. Every parenting book I’ve read had something to say. And I’ve appreciated most of them for something. But this core point, that we need to grow in self-awareness and self-compassion has had the most impact on my parenting approach. I’ve made the gamut of parenting mistakes. I really have. Which means I have regret. (& lest you try to console me for my perfectly imperfect parenting, I will go to my grave regretting them, but I also don’t fuel them with self-contempt). Self-shaming won’t change how I engage my kids now. Mistakes were made — I’m human. Healthy examples weren’t always available to me, and no matter how many parenting books or hours in a therapist’s office, I was bound to struggle with this one relationship: the relationship with myself. My defenses and my reactiveness towards things that hurt me or offended me or confused me were my instinctive armour and battle gear that I brought into my family life, as a wife, and as a mother. I wish this weren’t true. But it is. I had (& still have) armour and battle gear. Do I like that? Hell no. Will it serve me to pretend that these patterns weren’t mine at the beginning of my family journey? Again, hell no. I’ve learned that including practices in self-awareness has helped me see me a little more clearly (a little more, because there will always be room for more self-awareness, I’ll never see myself clearly). Or in the words of Carl Rogers, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Self-awareness is the foundation of nonviolent homeschool communication — and this is where it starts. Lesson Five — You Are Not Vanilla “My theory is that we get depressed because we're not getting what we want, and we're not getting what we want because we have never been taught to get what we want. Instead, we've been taught to be good little boys and girls and good mothers and fathers. If we're going to be one of those good things, better get used to being depressed. Depression is the reward we get for being “good.” But, if you want to feel better, I'd like you to clarify what you would like people to do to make life more wonderful for you.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life If we don’t acknowledge who we are, that we are separate people, and that we have separate needs, we force ourselves to go underground. Our identity becomes like vanilla ice cream. Vanilla is a flavour of ice cream, sure (aka it’s a personality of ice cream types, though it is a basic personality). But it doesn’t have a specific personality, a particular flavour, or a particular texture. It has an entry-level nothingness. (Clearly vanilla is not my favourite. Bring on the peppermint chocolate chip). But we each aren’t vanilla personalities: we have our own flair, our own flavour, and our own textures. We are unique and are meant to be here for a special purpose. When we put our efforts toward being good or right, enabling ourselves to go undercover, we aren’t really us. And so does our nonviolent homeschool communication. And when we put our efforts toward fully accepting all of our parts, and each of our needs, and acknowledging our real selves, we flourish. The Homeschool Communication Tool I Use Every Day The very most important thing I gain from Marshall Rosenberg’s book, Nonviolent Communication, is this fill-in-the-blank statement. It is a useful tool: a fill-in-the-blank conversation “instruction manual” to address my needs and request someone to engage my needs (which, not coincidentally when you practice doing this for you, makes it awfully easy to engage for others too). When I see that______________ I feel ______________ because my need for ________________ is/is not met. Would you be willing to __________________? This single sentence changed my nonviolent homeschool communication more than any other tool I’ve found. So my goal in my relationships with my kids and my relationship with my partner is to make observations, clarify and express my feelings, declare my underlying needs, and ask for my needs to be met. That simple. And not easy at all.

SYNOPSIS:What does it mean to experience yourself as a fertile body? And what happens when your body doesn't seem to be cooperating with your deepest hopes?In this wide-ranging conversation, Ali speaks with Harvard-awarded fertility specialist Gabriela Rosa about fertility as far more than a medical diagnosis. Together they explore the meaning we attach to parenthood, the relationship between fertility and creativity, the impact of trauma and relationships on reproductive health, and why infertility is never simply "a women's issue."Gabriela shares her evidence-based, integrative approach to fertility, explaining how removing obstacles to health often allows the body's innate intelligence to do what it already knows how to do. Along the way, they discuss IVF, implantation, sperm health, miscarriage, Family Constellation Work, embodiment, and the profound question of how we learn to trust the intelligence of our bodies – even when it seems to be saying "not yet."Whether you're navigating fertility challenges, considering parenthood, or simply curious about the body's remarkable capacity for intelligence and healing, this conversation offers a deeply humane perspective on one of life's most meaningful journeys.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to reconsider one of the podcast's central questions: What becomes possible when we stop treating the body as a problem to solve and begin discovering the body's innate intelligence?To subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:Website: https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:FREE Guided Body Mapping Taster: Heart/Sexuality SplitFive-films series (made by Ali Mezey) on renowned Family Constellation Facilitator, Stephan Hausner's work with transgenerational influences on illnessFOR MORE GABRIELA ROSA: BIO:Gabriela Rosa, DrPH (Candidate, Harvard), is a Harvard-awarded fertility specialist, founder of The Rosa Institute, and author of Fertility Breakthrough: Overcoming Infertility and Recurrent Miscarriage When Other Treatments Have Failed.

It secretes progesterone, which prepares the uterus for pregnancy.EndometriosisA chronic condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain, painful periods, and fertility challenges.Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)A common hormonal condition that can affect ovulation, menstrual cycles, fertility, metabolism, and hormone balance.ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)A specialized IVF procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization, often used in cases of male-factor infertility.Sperm parametersThe characteristics measured during a semen analysis, including sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and vitality, which help assess male fertility.Can eggs repair sperm DNA fragmentation?Healthy eggs possess natural DNA repair mechanisms that can repair some damage in sperm DNA after fertilization. However, this capacity depends on the quality of the egg and the extent of the sperm's DNA fragmentation.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) presents significant challenges in both diagnosis and long-term disease management. As consensus definitions, emerging targeted therapies, and research into serologic biomarkers evolve, how can clinicians optimize individual care algorithms? In this follow-up discussion, Karissa Gable, MD, Duke University Medical Center, breaks down recent breakthroughs in CIDP care and trial design: - Standardizing CIDP Terminology: Key updates from the new international consensus definitions paper establishing unified criteria for disease remission, stability, treatment response, and refractory disease. - The Emerging Pipeline: What's next in therapeutic development, including FcRn antagonists (nipocalimab and batoclimab) and complement inhibitors. - Shared Decision-Making: Practical strategies for tailoring therapy selection based on patient preferences, lifestyle, comorbidities, and administration routes. - Building Confidence in CIDP Care: Applying 2021 EAN/PNS guidelines to navigate diagnosis and ongoing treatment adjustments when first-line options fall short.

A new guest services employee works a memorable first shift at the most exclusive resort in the galaxy. Genre: Science Fiction   Excerpt:According to Lianne, searching for a lost pet was the best way for Rekha to quickly become familiar with the actual layout of the resort and to get her "sea legs." The bubble they were in didn't protect them completely from exotic particles, gravity waves, tidal forces, and other dangers of being so close to a black hole. Dangers that most of the people in the resort, including Rekha, didn't even half-understand.   The Wheel of Fiction Turns.

The topic of ‘hell' is in need of being questioned.  Is ‘hell' as traditionally taught even real?  What if the word hell is actuallyNOT in the Bible at all but rather a mistranslation of other Greek and Hebrew words?  What did the early churchFather's believe and teach on the topic?  This 10 part series will dive into the topic and hopefully offer some much needed ‘hope-filled' perspectives.  Enjoy!! Watch Today's Episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/XXWRNFjPgqc SGIG Playlist on YouTube:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfv-9uArQHIzcebDIyS8F3nj2MF_FV-H  Podcast:  https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-graceWeekly Blog: https://mikezenker.blog/  Donate today and help keep this going: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XHQ9UTBPTKDPW  All Recordings on YOUTUBE: SGIG Playlist:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfv-9uArQHIzcebDIyS8F3nj2MF_FV-H Guest Info And LinksRichard Murray: https://thegoodnessofgod.com/Bill Thrasher: https://www.facebook.com/groups/444411502587439 Fred Young: https://eschurch.com/ Randy Elstrott: https://www.randyelstrott.com/ Mike Zenker: www.hopefellowshipycc.comYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MichaelZenker

Are you made wrong for being different? What if there was no definition of you ever, and that was not wrong? As you acknowledge your difference and your unique capacities, more magic and miracles show up. In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Rachel O'Brien and Troy Aldanmaz about their experiences with being different and navigating this world. When you acknowledge that you are different and your functionality is different, you can recognise that what you require is also different such that you can start choosing what works for you. You chose to be born in this lifetime, in this body, as you - difference and all. What did you choose it for? Amp it up! Questions And Tools: "What am I perceiving?" "Is this mine?" "Who does this belong to?" "Return to sender with consciousness attached." "All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory." "What am I aware of?" "If I choose this, what will my life be like in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years? If I don't choose this, what will my life be like in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years?" Tools: Don't project and expect others to be like you. Prefer to come from the space of, "This is what I require and this is what they require. How do we make it work?" Stop trying to fit in with other people and this reality. You are different. You don't fit in and you will never fit. Lean into your capacities and don't make yourself wrong for them. Stop judging yourself. You're not wrong for not fitting in. Nurture your reality. What is true for you? Pretending you are normal when you are not is one of the most dangerous things you can do to yourself. Add space. What is your body asking for to help you navigate the world? Do you require more salt, sugar or water than what is considered 'normal'? Be interesting point of view. What is relaxation for you? This reality tries to put a definition on everything and give you labels. What if it is okay to not have a label? Autism is a question that nobody has ever been. As you acknowledge your difference, more magic and miracles show up. Where can you be on the planet that balances the Earth? Choose what works for you. Clear all the projections, expectations, separations, judgments and rejections on you from others. Awareness is not a curse or something you need to get rid of; it's a contribution. You chose to be born in this lifetime in this body. What did you choose it for? Amp it up. Trust you, trust your body and let consciousness lead you.   What if there was no definition of you ever, and that was not wrong? And you never had to find out who, what, where, when, why, how you are and you're constantly changing, and that's okay? Everything that is, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds.

Payer-driven clinical validation is a common reason given by payers to remove ICD-10-CM/PCS diagnosis and procedure codes affecting reimbursement or quality-based payment models (e.g., the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services/CMS Hospital-Acquired Conditions), even though these codes are based on the documentation of licensed providers.During the next Internet broadcast of the venerable Monitor Monday, Dr. James S. Kennedy of CDIMD will propose a strategy that engages payers in how patient conditions or treatments should be defined, diagnosed, and documented, elevating the practice of medicine and confronting denials that are often based on misinterpretations of current clinical literature.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, legislative affairs liaison for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.

The kicking game is one of the most misunderstood—and most game-changing—parts of football. In this episode of Whistle Talk, Mike D the Referee is joined by Coach Chip Seagle and Daniel Chamberlain for an in-depth breakdown of NFHS Rule 6.From kickoffs and onside kicks to punts, fair catches, first touching, touchbacks, and scrimmage kicks, the crew explains the rules every official and coach needs to know before stepping onto the field.Special teams may account for only a small percentage of the plays in a game, but they often create the biggest momentum swings. Understanding these situations can be the difference between getting the call right and changing the outcome of a game.

In this episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, host Kathleen Masciana, an online philosophy graduate student at Holy Apostles College and Seminary, explores the Digital Opt-Out movement and LAUSD's strict new screen time policies through the lens of disability access. Kathleen examines how technology bans impact students with disabilities who rely on assistive devices like Braille computers and phones as essential learning tools. She discusses her accommodations, including using a Braille computer to write papers and read textbooks. She uses a phone to access the learning management system and submit assignments. She also uses an analog recording device with no internet to read assignments aloud and submit audio-based work in place of visual materials. Kathleen also tackles the philosophical question of whether knowledge exists beyond definitions and tautologies. This is an audio-only episode. Listen to hear how these accommodations enable access to education and why the conversation about technology in schools must include disability perspectives.

Thomas is joined by Dr. Eric Jaffe, biologist, dinosaur enthusiast, and high school biology teacher, for a conversation that starts with a deceptively simple question: what are biological definitions actually doing? It turns out that biology is far more like history than math, and that difference has enormous consequences for anyone trying to weaponize phrases like "the biological definition of sex." Dr. Jaffe walks through why definitions in inductive sciences are descriptive, not prescriptive, and what that means for species, chromosomes, fungi, LeBron James, and trans people. "Exceptions aren't the exceptions in biology. They are built into what we call biological systems." Plus: Patreon Q&A questions on alien DNA, how new chromosomes evolve, the 97% chimp figure, CRISPR vs. what came before, and Trump's research budget cuts.

Dana and Daniel built a viral comedy series out of their real polyamorous relationship — and the result is funnier, messier, and more honest than most people expect. On this episode, Natalie and Christopher sit down with the duo behind The Poly Couple to talk about what actually happens when you turn your love life into content: the boundaries that hold it together, the jealousy that has to be worked through (not avoided), and the friendship that makes the whole thing possible. This isn't a polyamory 101 lecture. It's a real conversation about communication under pressure, what ethical non-monogamy looks like day-to-day, and why authenticity — on camera and off — is the only thing that actually works.

Pastor Bill Scheer continues a powerful Sunday series at Guts Church by defining grace and explaining what it means to live in the dispensation of grace.In this message, Pastor Bill teaches that grace is not just forgiveness or a religious idea. Grace is God's power, supernatural ability, and favor operating in the life of the believer. Through scriptures like Hebrews 4:16, 2 Corinthians 12:7, Romans 5:2, and Ephesians 2:8, this message shows how God's grace helps us in storms, strengthens us in weakness, and empowers us to live free from bondage.Pastor Bill also reminds the church that the Holy Spirit lives in every believer, the local church is God's plan, and every Christian has a ministry assignment.

A thief and an investigator each try to convince the other to accept the truth about the unparalleled treasure that is the Flaming Jargonelle. Genre: Mythology   Excerpt:And the thief spoke. "Most of the stories say that when the Flaming Jargonelle is struck by any kind of light from brightest sun to dimmest candle, it appears as if it were made of fire. Sometimes a smoldering fire, sometimes a bright blaze. But I've had it in my possession for many days, and I've never seen it glow like this."   The Wheel of Fiction Turns. What did it land on this time?Each Season 9 story follows a theme chosen by the Wheel of Fiction. Thirteen spokes. Eight are the themes from previous seasons. One is "Turn Again." One is a wild card. And three are covered in question marks and will be revealed when the wheel lands on them. See a story trailer and a (satisfying) video of the wheel turning here: The Flaming Jargonelle This episode landed on DEFINITIONS. The story was inspired by the word "jargonelle," a type of pear.

Today's conversation hits at the heart of what many lenders are feeling, but aren't saying out loud. The pressure on farmers right now is real and increasing, and it is showing up on lender balance sheets. The question is no longer if risk will surface, but when and how prepared are we to see it coming? Do you know how to lead through uncertainty without waiting for the warning signs to become problems? This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton and Cameron Burford, Managing Director of SaaS at Growers Edge. Their conversation focuses on the role that data, land intelligence, and proactive risk management can play in helping leaders move from reactive to resilient.    Episode Insights Include: Insights into the ag market The ag market is in a downturn nationwide. The farm credit commitment to support farmers in good times and bad holds true in today's cycle. Forecasts for 2026 are not promising. What, if anything, will get planted this year?   The lender risk of dropping farmland values The borrower's balance sheet is the farmland collateral coverage. Deteriorating land values decrease favorable ratios significantly. Factors that contribute to risk before stress is visible. Missing payments is not the first sign of risk. Catching early indicators gives lenders time to do something about it.   Understanding adverse assets  Definitions for key adverse asset terms. Recognizing the early indicators of a higher risk profile can position lenders to effectively partner with farmers. Workouts and adverse assets have a negative relationship with borrowers.   Lessons for Midwest lenders  High-profile bankruptcies in California can provide lessons for Midwest lenders. Input and commodity pricing, as well as geopolitical risks, are affecting balance sheets and land value. Leading lenders are watching land values and other leading indicators.   The cost of reactive mode Direct costs will show up on spreadsheets. By being proactive, high costs can be avoided. Subsequent time can be spent helping farmers grow their operations. Every dollar tied into cleanup is an hour spent not serving the farmer.   The role of land intelligence and collateral data in a portfolio's health Data can paint a living picture of a borrower's portfolio. Insights available today are vastly different from those of the past. Risk profiles are more robust today because of better data. Lenders need to focus on "seeing, saying, and serving" their borrowers.   Proactive risk management culture A proactive risk management culture can be a company's greatest growth engine. A team that is all growing in the same direction should be the goal. Winning looks like acknowledging that you can position yourself for success now.   This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources   Connect with Cameron Burford – Cameron Burford   Get in touch – info@fccsconsulting.com   "These factors can contribute to risk before stress is even visible." — Cameron Burford   "If you can catch these early indicators, you can do something about it." — Cameron Burford   "Every dollar tied into cleanup is an hour spent not serving the farmer." — Cameron Burford   "Lenders need to focus on 'seeing, saying, and serving' their borrowers." — Cameron Burford

In this message from Pastor Bill, we continue our Definitions series by unpacking what biblical faith really is.Faith is more than positive thinking. Faith is more than belief. Faith is confidence in God's promises that produces action, obedience, and expectation.Using examples from Scripture like the woman with the issue of blood, Blind Bartimaeus, Peter walking on water, and the friends of the paralytic, Pastor Bill shows how miracles happen when faith becomes active.If you're facing a storm, waiting on a promise, or believing God for breakthrough, this message will help strengthen your faith and encourage you to trust God's Word above your circumstances.GUTS CHURCH

Age bias affects people across the entire career span. For women, this bias is compounded by gender, creating what researchers call “gendered ageism,” a double bind where there is effectively no “right” age to be a professional woman. Drawing on survey data from 913 women leaders across industries including law, healthcare, higher education, and nonprofits, Harvard Business Review research reveals a consistent pattern: women face age-based bias at every stage of their careers. Definitions of “young,” “middle-aged,” and “older” vary by context, but the experiences of discrimination are strikingly similar. Older women often encounter “oldism,” where they are viewed as less relevant or valuable, in contrast to men who are seen as gaining wisdom with age. Participants reported being overlooked for advancement and having their voices dismissed. Younger women face “youngism,” including being patronized, mistaken for junior staff, or not taken seriously in leadership roles. Many experience “credibility deficits,” where their expertise is questioned, forcing them to continually prove themselves. Appearance-based scrutiny is also common, with professional accomplishments overshadowed by comments on looks. Women in midlife—traditionally thought to be in a career “sweet spot”—fare no better. They are often judged based on assumptions about family responsibilities, menopause, or perceived lack of vitality. Hiring and promotion decisions frequently favor similarly aged men, reinforcing the idea that women are either “too young” or “too old,” but rarely seen as just right. Despite these challenges, research shows that age and gender diversity benefit organizations. Diverse teams perform better, especially in complex or crisis situations, while age discrimination reduces job satisfaction and engagement. The path forward does not rely solely on institutional change but also on individual action. Key strategies include examining personal assumptions about age, building intentional intergenerational relationships, advocating for age inclusion in diversity frameworks and actively supporting other women through mentorship, sponsorship, and amplification. Ultimately, the research highlights a systemic issue: age is often used as a convenient justification to undervalue women at any stage. Recognizing and challenging these patterns is essential to creating workplaces where women are seen as credible, capable, and worthy—at every age.

A man opens his new briefcase and discovers that something else lies beside his files, something…vast. Genre: Mystery, Mythology   Excerpt:"Once," she started, "the world was filled with different beings than the ones that now fill the world." They were just as wondrous. And just as terrible. But in different ways. For ways changed with time. As it would come be, it was so in those days as well, that some of these beings were short-lived but numerous, and some were long-lived but few. The longest lived of all were the firstborn. They were born when the world was born. And they would end when the world would end.   The Wheel of Fiction Turns.

A briefcase opening to the left, seen from an angle and tilted up. A tiny toy shaped like a green alien lies inside.

The case floats in outer space. Nebulous clouds are visible at the corners, and distant clusters of stars. A hazy glowing light emanates from the briefcase and shifts color as it extends out of frame. Watermark of "Storyfeather" along bottom side of briefcase.

We sit down with James Ellias of Inductica to ask whether physics can ever truly prove anything. James pulls the inductive method out of the margins and holds it up against a century of guess-and-check, and together we trace the line from Newton's bucket to the cosmic microwave background so that we can ask where confidence becomes dogma and where models start passing for truth. Bodies, waves, ether, entities, the categories blur the moment you press hard enough, and the foundations of physics start to feel less like bedrock and more like habit. This is a conversation about what it means to be certain, and wether or not physics can ever claim such conviction for itself.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go! 00:05:11 Can Physics Actually Prove Anything?00:10:30 The Ninja Problem in Scientific Reasoning00:15:10 Cosmic Microwave Background and Misplaced Certainty00:36:31 Paradigm Shifts and the Limits of Prediction00:50:46 Descriptions Aren't Mechanisms01:00:01 What Counts as a Physical Entity?01:17:37 Bodies, Waves, and the Trouble with Categories01:32:21 Can Physics Work Without Bodies?01:52:28 Definitions, Language, and Conceptual Rigor02:09:02 Beyond Guess-and-Check: Structured Inference02:23:17 Belief and the Illusion of Certainty #Physics #physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast, #epistemology #proof #cosmology #naturalphilosophy #ether #standardmodel #philosophyofscience#quantum , #quantumphysics, #quantummechanics, #generalrelativity #gravity #cosmology #naturalphilosophyMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

This lecture was delivered on May 18th 2026by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary to students in the Caribbean Thought course. Today we explored the concept of Afrocentricity and developing an Afrocentric Paradigm to the study of the Caribbean or o Caribbean Thought. Towards the end we reviewed the Course Outline.Notes:_________________I. Why This Inquiry MattersBefore we define these concepts, we must recognize one important point:Perspective shapes thought.The way we are taught to see the world determines how we understand history, religion, race, culture, and even ourselves. Caribbean societies emerged out of colonization, slavery, displacement, and resistance. Therefore, many of the ideas we inherit about civilization, morality, religion, and identity are rooted within colonial structures.The Caribbean person often lives within competing worlds:• African heritage, • European institutions, • Christian theology, • colonial education, • and postcolonial realities. Thus, Caribbean Thought requires critical examination of the foundations of knowledge itself.________________II. Defining Key Terms1. AfrocentricityAccording to Molefi Kete Asante and Ama Mazama, Afrocentricity is a way of seeing and interpreting the world from the perspective of African people as subjects rather than objects of history.Afrocentricity seeks to:• center African agency, • restore African humanity, • reclaim African history, • and cultivate what Dr. Mazama calls a “consciousness of victory” rather than perpetual oppression. Afrocentricity does not necessarily reject other cultures. Rather, it insists that African people have the right to define themselves and interpret reality from their own historical and cultural experiences.In simple terms:Afrocentricity asks: What happens when African people become the center of their own narratives instead of existing only through European interpretations?ConclusionToday's lecture introduced the conceptual foundations for our study of Caribbean Thought.We examined:• Afrocentricity, • Afrocentrism, • Eurocentrism, • ethnocentrism, • colonialism, • and the Afrocentric Paradigm. We also explored how colonial consciousness continues to shape Caribbean identity, religion, culture, and historical understanding.Next week, we will move into African civilizations and early African contributions to world history as we continue developing an African-centered understanding of Caribbean identity and consciousness.Bibliography / Source ListMolefi Kete Asante.

In this episode, Yoga Medicine founder Tiffany Cruikshank and Katja Bartsch take a deep dive into the latest stretching research and what it means for yoga teachers, athletes, and movement professionals. Together, they unpack the latest recommendations around stretching for flexibility, stiffness, strength, hypertrophy, vascular health, recovery, and injury prevention while exploring the limitations of stretching as a standalone tool. Tiffany and Katja discuss why prolonged static stretching before explosive activity may impair athletic performance, how longer-held yin-style stretches may influence tissue stiffness, and why emerging vascular research around stretching is generating so much interest. They also explore why yoga recovery likely involves far more than just stretching mechanics, including nervous system regulation, breathwork, and relaxation. "We do not overestimate or underestimate what stretching can do." — Katja Bartsch. — What You'll Learn: What the new 2025 stretching consensus paper reveals about flexibility research [02:57] • Definitions of static, dynamic, and PNF stretching in both research and yoga practice [06:00] • Acute vs. chronic stretching effects on range of motion and mobility [13:54] • Recommendations for improving long-term flexibility and maintaining mobility with age [20:09] • The "Goldilocks" principle of tissue stiffness and athletic performance [27:24] • Why longer yin-style holds may influence connective tissue adaptation [32:12] • How stretching impacts strength, explosive performance, and warm-ups [34:32] • Research on stretching for strength gains and muscle hypertrophy [37:36] • Emerging evidence around stretching and vascular health [42:01] • Breathwork, nervous system regulation, and yoga's broader therapeutic effects [51:24] • Why stretching alone may not improve recovery or prevent soreness [54:07] • The limitations of flexibility-only approaches for injury prevention [1:00:13] • Why individualized mobility, stability, and strength work matter in yoga practice [1:01:40] • Final takeaways on stretching frequency, recovery, and long-term mobility [1:04:32] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Warneke K, Thomas E, Blazevich AJ, Afonso J, Behm DG, Marchetti PH, Trajano GS, Nakamura M, Ayala F, Longo S, Babault N, Freitas SR, Costa PB, Konrad A, Nordez A, Nelson A, Zech A, Kay AD, Donti O, Wilke J.

Preorder McCune's Systematic Theology of Biblical Christianity here. What's the difference between justification and sanctification — and why does it matter? In this episode of Theologically Driven, host Phil Cecil sits down with Dr. Mark Snoeberger of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary to unpack two of the most important doctrines in Christian theology and explore how different traditions relate them to one another.Dr. Snoeberger begins by carefully defining each term. Justification is the one-time, legal declaration that a sinner is righteous before God, grounded in the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ and received by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Sanctification, by contrast, is the experiential process of being made holy — typically described in three phases: definitive (or initial) sanctification at conversion, progressive sanctification throughout the Christian life, and final sanctification or glorification.From there, the conversation turns to the central question: how are justification and sanctification related? Dr. Snoeberger lays out three major positions:The Roman Catholic view, which absorbs sanctification into justification through an ongoing process of infused grace, sacraments, merit, and a final justification at the end of life.The Holiness/Keswick view, which divorces the two by inserting a "second work of grace."The Reformation view, which treats them as parallel, simultaneous benefits flowing from the believer's union with Christ.This episode focuses on a thorough examination of the Roman Catholic position — including baptismal regeneration, the role of the sacraments, venial and mortal sins, purgatory, and why the Reformers' insistence on sola fide (faith alone) was such a watershed moment. Dr. Snoeberger also explains the "hopeful and causal relationship" Catholic theology draws between sanctification and final justification, and why this framework leaves believers without assurance.Whether you're a pastor, student, or curious listener, this episode offers a clear, accessible introduction to a doctrine at the heart of the gospel and the Protestant Reformation.Topics covered:Definitions of justification and sanctificationImputed vs. infused righteousnessDefinitive, progressive, and final sanctificationUnion with Christ and the duplex beneficiumRoman Catholic soteriology, sacraments, and purgatoryVenial and mortal sinsWhy Luther opposed the sale of indulgencesTheologically Driven is a podcast of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary.

Why does homework and school in general turn into a battle in so many homes?In this insightful conversation, Dr. Matthew Housson breaks down what's really going on when kids struggle with homework—and why it's often not a discipline issue at all. Instead, many challenges come down to executive function skills—things like planning, focus, emotional regulation, and the ability to start and finish tasks.We talk about how brain development impacts motivation, why some kids struggle to shift into “low dopamine” tasks like homework, and what parents can do to support their child without taking over.If you've ever felt frustrated, confused, or even discouraged trying to help your child succeed academically, this episode will give you clarity, practical tools, and encouragement—you're not alone, and there is a better way forward. In this episode we talk about:  When behavior is developmentally normal vs. when to seek help The key signs of depression in teens (including irritability) Why a full profile is often more helpful than a diagnosis Practical tools to make homework time smoother Executive function skills are learned and developed over time You can't rush development—but you can support it Connect with Dr. Matthew Housson:  Website: Home - The Housson Center Facebook: The Housson Center Instagram: The Housson Center (@thehoussoncenter) Links Mentioned:  Resources from The Housson Center (books & websites) Definitions of different childhood challenges (parent resource) Related Episodes: How to Stay Calm with School Stress :: Kirk Martin {Ep 88} School Choice Series: Public School Options with Emily Fenlaw:: [Ep 561] Grace Based Discipline for Kids with Unique Needs :: Karis Murray [Ep 237] Featured Sponsors:  Hiya: We've worked out a special deal with Hiya for their best selling children's vitamin.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how people search for information, including how families learn about pregnancy and birth. As this technology grows, it raises important questions about accuracy, ethics, and the role of human expertise in healthcare information.   In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker and Dr. Sara Ailshire share a behind-the-scenes look at how Evidence Based Birth® developed its own AI policies. They discuss concerns about misinformation, bias, privacy, and environmental impact, as well as the potential effects on critical thinking and human connection.   Learn why EBB has chosen to avoid the use of AI in our research, and what that means both for our team and for you.   (03:22) Why EBB began developing an AI policy  (10:39) Defining AI, generative AI, LLMs, and hallucinations  (17:03) Ethical concerns: Accuracy, bias, and risks to evidence-based information  (20:14) Environmental impact of AI and data centers  (21:47) Privacy concerns and data security risks  (26:21) Intellectual property, sustainability, and loss of research context  (27:03) Humanitarian concerns and the impact of AI on jobs and communities  (31:24) AI's potential effects on cognition and critical thinking  (37:30) Why EBB takes a cautious, evidence-based approach to AI  (38:20) Research team policy (42:06) Content team policy (45:01) Programs team policy and guidance for applicants  (47:32) Hiring practices and commitment to human review (52:29) Final takeaways: EBB's overall stance on AI    References Read EBB's Statement on Artificial Intelligence: ebbirth.com/artificial-intelligence-statement/ For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper, by Joseph Fasano: https://poets.org/poem/student-who-used-ai-write-paper Barrington, F.
