Finding inner peace is a process that leads to a practice; there are important rituals that guide us in self-discovery. Derived from the Sanskrit word for “circle”, the Mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. It is a sacred art form that connects us to our inner selves and the world around us. Their profound wisdom and tranquil messages, serve as a powerful medium to contemplate and find peace within. Mandalas are typically circles with repeating symmetrical shapes, and are considered a sacred symbol. In Sanskrit, mandala translates to “sacred center” or “circle.” Mandalas symbolize harmony and unity, and represent that everything is connected. Pema Chodron, the incredible American-born Tibetan Buddist and ordained nun who is soulful and wise shared, “Each person's life is like a mandala – a vast, limitless circle. We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see, hear, and think forms the mandala of our life.” I love that imagery. One organization has discovered that bringing in the concept of inner peace through an evidenced-based curriculum using the Mandala as a cornerstone enables youth to build and strengthen their capacity to manage stress and conflict in new ways, giving them lifelong skills that serve to build a more compassionate society. Building that society begins with our youth. Tools for Peace is a mental wellness program for youth that provides curricula to grow compassionate minds. Their Mission is to inspire kindness and compassion in everyday life. Their mindfulness-based social-emotional learning programs support mental health, academic and professional success, and community health and wellbeing. Studies show that the Tools for Peace curriculum improves focus, conflict resolution skills, and confidence, and reduces stress in participants.

Mantras are far more than simple relaxation words—they are powerful sound vibrations and universal psychic forces accessible to anyone willing to study and practice them. Derived from Sanskrit roots meaning "mind" (man) and "liberation/protection" (tra), mantras serve to liberate energy, expand awareness, heal, and enlighten the mind while accessing our limitless creative potential.Beyond Words: The Science of SoundUnlike ordinary words, mantras consist of letters and syllables combined through complex esoteric mathematical systems passed down through millennia. These combinations create specific sound vibrations that induce elevated states of consciousness. Mantras work similarly to music, affecting our thoughts, emotions, and entire state of being through energetic vibrations that penetrate deep into our psyche.The mantra system operates through two complementary aspects: name (mantra) and form (yantra). The sound itself liberates energy trapped in limiting mental patterns, while the corresponding visual symbol or image concentrates awareness and awakens psychic power. This dual approach helps practitioners break free from conditioning and expand their understanding of reality.Psychological ApplicationsFrom a psychological perspective, mantras function as sophisticated mind tools that break destructive thinking patterns. They work like gentle mental massages, spreading sound vibrations throughout the mind and enabling access to profound, joyful aspects of ourselves usually hidden beneath constant mental chatter. This process releases energy from neurotic patterns, redirecting it toward healing, creativity, and a higher level of consciousness.Mantras operate by balancing the three fundamental forces of nature (gunas): tamas (darkness/inertia), rajas (restless desire), and sattwa (luminous clarity). Being primarily sattwic in nature, mantras stimulate awareness of mental processes while expanding positive energy, balance, and inner joy. They can calm anxiety, energize depression, heal trauma, and influence entire personality patterns.Spiritual Practice and DevelopmentWithin the yoga system, mantra yoga serves as an intermediary stage between physical preparation (Hatha yoga) and advanced consciousness practices (Laya and Raja yoga). Different personality types—active (karma), devotional (bhakti), intellectual (jnana), or mystical (raja)—approach mantras according to their temperament, using them either as religious tools or purely psychological instruments.Two primary meditation techniques exist: japa (repetitive chanting) and ajapa japa (mantras synchronized with the breath). The most powerful mantras include AUM (the fundamental cosmic sound) and HAMSA (the natural breath mantra). Through consistent practice, these sounds eventually repeat spontaneously, creating continuous inner vibration that stimulates bliss, self-knowledge, and spiritual awakening.Universal WisdomWhile India's ancient sages developed mantra science to an extraordinary sophistication over thousands of years, mantras themselves are universal forces that exist in all cultures and psyches. They represent proto-thoughts and primal energies vibrating in our unconscious depths, which have been discovered by mystics during deep meditation and made accessible through the Sanskrit language.Mantras should be understood as pure sound vibrations rather than religious tools, though they can serve both scientific and spiritual purposes. They function as building blocks of consciousness itself, capable of transforming practitioners at personal levels (releasing trapped mental energy) and transcendent levels (awakening knowledge of the highest Self).This ancient science offers profound pathways for healing, psychological growth, and spiritual evolution, providing practical tools for anyone seeking to...

In October 2024, ITRC released the 6PPD & 6PPD-quinone Guidance Document to provide environmental professionals and communities with information about the current science and regulatory framework of 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-q). 6PPD-q is a contaminant of emerging concern and is a transformation product of the tire anti-degradant (6PPD), an antiozonant used in tires. Join us for this ITRC training course to get a basic overview of the science and policy measures surrounding the Tire Anti-Degradants 6PPD and 6PPD-q. Attendees will gain insight into the current state of knowledge on topics such as: background and use of 6PPD in tires, toxicity in aquatic species and humans; occurrence, fate, and transport; measuring, mapping, and sampling; mitigation measures; and policy, regulations, and laws. Currently, 6PPD is used in all tires and can contaminate stormwater and surface water anywhere tires are used. 6PPD-q was identified as a chemical fatal to coho salmon in 2020. Since that time, it has been documented as acutely toxic to multiple trout species found throughout the United States. 6PPD and 6PPD-q have been found in waterways, aquatic organisms, soils, air, and humans. This training will introduce you to the ITRC 6PPD & 6PPD-quinone Guidance Document which provides more technical detail than can be covered in this training course To view this archive online or download the slides associated with this seminar, please visit http://www.clu-in.org/conf/itrc/6PPD-Q_050125/

In this episode of Changing Gears, Garrett sits down with Dave Wattenberg, the founder and owner of Pro-Tech Knives. From building the first batch on his kitchen table over 25 years ago to running a 17,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Southern California, Dave's experience in the knife industry has allowed him and the Pro-Tech team to create some of the best everyday carry knives on the market today. In this episode, Dave and Garrett dive into Dave's family ties to the cutlery industry, how Pro-Tech got its start, how Dave came to be both a watch and knife enthusiast, and even an exclusive design that's been created just for the San Francisco Windup Watch Fair. Listen closely, you might even get some information about a top secret Pro-Tech prototype that's in the works.We're happy to announce that Pro-Tech has created an exclusive knife design for the upcoming San Francisco Windup Watch Fair, a TR-3 Integrity. Derived from one of their best selling automatic knives over 22 years, the TR-3 Integrity combines the iconic TR-3 Auto design with their button lock hardware to create a consumer friendly, manual action knife. This exclusive edition will feature a 3.5”, stonewash finished, S35vn steel blade, battleworn blue relic handles, and a gorgeous abalone button. While this exclusive is limited to 25 pieces, in Dave's own words, each one is “one of a kind” due to the uniqueness of the abalone insert. Check out this design, and many more at Pro-Tech's booth inside the EDC Expo at the Windup Watch Fair.
Okay, sweet one, let's talk about the grand lie of having a purpose. Because hasn't everyone, at some point, stared into their organic kale salad and wondered, "WHY am I here?"Really, isn't that THE question? We're all chasing that deeper something, the elusive unicorn of purpose, because, well, we think it equals happiness. Glitter cannons and rainbows!Basically, aren't we all just hunting for joy through our jobs, our love lives, and maybe that overpriced yoga retreat? Because let's be honest, if those things led to misery, we'd be binge-watching Netflix instead. (Okay, some days we do both.)So, how do you actually find this magical life purpose?If you boil down every self-help book ever written (and I've read a LOT), two ideas bubble to the surface, like so much kombucha. They create two distinct, shall we say, *vibes* about Life.Vibe #1: Purpose is “Out There!”This is the story we're constantly sold, the narrative with all the bells and whistles. It's the idea that purpose and happiness are about *doing* and *getting*.What exactly are you supposed to be getting?Well, according to the marketing gurus (who are probably sipping martinis on a yacht somewhere), it's always - More! Better!More experiences, more influence, a passive income stream that makes your eyes water, a better house with a walk-in closet for your shoes, a better job that feeds your soul AND pays the bills, better sex (because, duh), and for the truly enlightened, a better, more Instagrammable spirituality.It's always *better* than what you've got right now, darling. But here's the cosmic joke: More and Better *never* actually deliver. As that wise old grump Ecclesiastes put it: "Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless! But…life is still amazing.” (Even he couldn't help but throw in an "amazing" at the end!)We all kinda know this, right? We feel it in our bones after every online shopping spree. Still, those clever ads keep whispering promises. So, we jump back on the hamster wheel, convinced *this time* it'll be different. A new job! A soulmate who understands our obsession with miniature dachshunds! A truly transformative experience involving a llama!The catch? It's always a future promise. "Once I _______, then I'll find purpose/happiness/meaning."Once I quit my soul-crushing job, I'll finally be happy.Once I meet Mr./Ms. Right, then I'll know what love REALLY is.The future, my friend, is perpetually "tomorrow." That's the lie behind Vibe #1. The “hedonic treadmill” will leave you exhausted and feeling slightly used. Vibe #2: Your Purpose and Happiness are *Here, Now* Because Honey, *You ARE* the Purpose.The mind really throws a tantrum at this one based on how we've been programmed to have a “PURPOSE.”What if the truth is ridiculously simple: You *are* your purpose? You're here to know and be your glorious, messy, authentic Self as you cast your VISION and allow the listening to answer your CALLING (more on this on my next series of purpose). Seriously, pause for a moment and let that sink in.You're here to express your utterly unique, wonderfully weird, creative Self fully, freely, and fearlessly.Everything else such as your creativity, your relationships, your questionable fashion choices – are just sparkling byproducts of you being *you*.Knowing and being yourself? That's the answer to "What is my highest purpose and the source of my deepest freakin' joy?"The hitch? We've forgotten who we are. From childhood, we get handed a cookie-cutter mold for the "Good Life" who to be, what to want, what success looks like.So, we spend our lives trying to squish ourselves into that mold, developing a seriously messed-up case of mistaken identity. Then BAM! Quarter-life crises! Mid-life meltdowns! (It's all very dramatic, really.) So, how do you start?Embrace the Disillusionment, Darling.If you're feeling a little… blah about life, congratulations! You're right where you need to be. Disillusionment is inevitable. We no longer grasp to who we thought we were, and the one “purpose” we have in this life - and feeling that pressure!Even if you achieve all the things, the shine wears off. (That's just physics.)Own it. There's wisdom in that “blah” feeling. The pain of disillusionment can unlock a whole new, glittery world of freedom and possibilities.Why?Disillusionment means shedding the illusions. Seeing through the B.S. The cultural story that says purpose is “out there” is just a cleverly disguised sales pitch.You've checked the boxes, achieved the goals. But how long did it last? How long before you were chasing the next spiritual high?Spiritual goals are fabulous, but notice how we're always trying to *escape* those uncomfortable feelings.We launch projects, start cleanses, binge-watch cat videos. But eventually, we're back to the same damn questions.Wherever you go, there you are (and your existential baggage). So, you might as well embrace it.Disillusionment is an invitation. Like a pang of hunger, it's your True Self nudging you toward the truth.Look around. Mental illness is on the rise. Loneliness is an epidemic. People are quietly quitting their lives. Clearly, something's gotta give. The way we work, the way we live, the way we define "purpose"… it's all crumbling.That old story that purpose is “out there” keeps us stuck. That's the real question, isn't it? Who are you?Or, more accurately, *what* are you?Time to reframe this, Darling.What Is Your Vision and Soul Calling?A Vision is the art of seeing life's possibilities unfold—a profound and intuitive process that bridges the gap between your inner truth and the external world. It invites you to see not only the road ahead but also the unseen opportunities that lie along your path. Unlike conventional purpose driven vision, which often confines itself to specific, tangible goals, a calling embraces the unknown and empowers you to trust in the unfolding of your life's purpose. It is both a lens and a compass, helping you navigate toward your authentic self.The roots of the word “vision” are steeped in ancient wisdom. Derived from the Proto-Indo-European WEID, meaning “to see” or “to know,” the concept of vision transcends time and space. It reminds you that seeing is not merely a physical act but a deeper knowing—a connection to clarity and purpose that originates from within. THEREFORE. The vision Creates the PATH. Your Calling, is your Life's pursuit of multiple variations as a creator - offering insight and guidance that arises organically from your inner self, rather than being dictated by external expectations.Kassandra

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Have you ever wondered about the beautiful complexity that arises when different cultures blend? The Caribbean term "Dougla" captures exactly that—specifically describing people of mixed African and Indian heritage in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname. Today we unpack this fascinating identity that emerged from the region's colonial past of enslavement and indentured servitude. Derived from the Hindi word "Dogala" (meaning "double" or "mix"), the term once carried negative connotations but has been powerfully reclaimed as a symbol of pride. This blending of worlds symbolizes the Caribbean's remarkable capacity for cultural resilience and reinvention. It reminds us that some of humanity's most beautiful creations emerge at the intersection of different traditions.

Andrew Jackson is a man with a mission. After working in social housing for more than 10 years, he had a yearning to make outdoor spaces better for residents. Upon buying his own new build home, he realised how daunting it can be to suddenly have a blank canvas, full of promise, yet not have a clue what to do with it. Years later, after finding his feet with that new garden, Andrew has put together a rather fantastic New Build Manifesto, which makes some strong suggestions for how housing developers can better prepare residents for their new outdoor space. He believes his manifesto is in harmony with the housing developer world, whilst also having firm environmental benefits. Hear all about it in this episode of the podcast.

In this solo episode of Modern Chiropractic Mastery with Dr. Kevin Christie, chiropractors are guided through common capacity blocks hindering their practice growth. Derived from Dr. Christie's work with Strategic Coach, these capacity blocks include lacking support team members, clinical duplication, limited space and equipment, mindset issues, time constraints, delegation challenges, cash flow problems, and marketing deficits. Dr. Christie emphasizes the importance of viewing support team members as investments and discusses how tools and coaching can help overcome these obstacles. He highlights the concept of 'even better' growth and provides detailed insights into addressing underlying problems that prevent chiropractors from breaking through the ceiling of complexity in their practice.
Dr. Simrit Parmar, Founder of Cellenkos, is developing T regulatory cell therapies from cord blood to treat aplastic anemia, myelofibrosis, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Their three-prong strategy focuses on resolving inflammation and alleviating the burden of transfusions. Treg cells from cord blood are naturally tolerant and do not risk rejection, meaning they can be administered to patients without the need for matching. The cells can be consistently manufactured in a scalable way and distributed globally. Simrit explains, "Tregs, the T regulatory cells, are actually regulators of our immune system. So if you think about it every day as a human being, we face many challenges. We face many insults and injuries to our body, both externally and internally, but our body has a way to maintain that balance. The T regulatory cells are the cells that are the mastermind of making sure that any response by our body, for example, to get rid of an antigen or to get rid of an irritant does not overstay the welcome because our body utilizes the mechanism of inflammation to get rid of these injuries or these insults." "So umbilical cord blood is, or the umbilical cord is, the connection between the baby, the fetus, and the mother. And if you think about it, the baby is 50% mismatched to the mother, and nature allows it. Nature allows a permissive environment where the baby can grow and eventually give birth, and the whole species is advanced. What happens is that nature has allowed the tolerance, and one of the mechanisms by which this tolerance, the maternal-fetal tolerance, is induced by the very T regulatory cells that populate the conduit between the mother and the baby, is the cord blood. So what we did is harness the power that nature has bestowed upon these cells to just do one job and one job only, which is to resolve inflammation. This is the fundamental reason we went after cord blood as a starting material because as a physician and drug developer, we wanted to make sure that the product, the cells we're giving into the patient, are doing its job." #Biotechnology #DrugDevelopment #LifeSciences #AplasticAnemia #Myelofibrosis #GVHD #ALS #Tregs #CellTherapies #TargetedTherapies #AutoimmuneDiseases cellenkosinc.com Download the transcript here

BUFFALO, NY - February 10, 2025 – A new #casereport was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on February 5, 2025, titled “A case report of donor cell–derived hematologic neoplasms 9 years after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation." In this case report, Aleksandra Mroczkowska-Bękarciak and Tomasz Wróbel from Wroclaw Medical University describe a rare and serious complication after a stem cell transplant. The case involves a patient who, nine years after receiving a stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), developed a new, aggressive blood cancer originating from donor cells. Despite receiving treatment, the disease progressed to myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML), ultimately leading to the patient's death. Stem cell transplants are a life-saving treatment for many blood cancers, including AML. While relapse of the original cancer is the most common concern, this case highlights another rare but serious complication: the development of donor cell-derived hematologic neoplasms (DCHN). The report details the case of a 23-year-old woman who remained in remission for nearly 10 years following a successful hematopoietic stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor. However, she later developed a new form of leukemia, driven by genetic mutations in the ASXL1, SETBP1, and EZH2 genes—biomarkers linked to highly aggressive blood cancers. Over the next two years, the disease progressed despite intensive treatment, ultimately proving fatal. This case highlights the need for continued monitoring of transplant recipients, even years after the procedure. Although DCHN is extremely rare, its occurrence raises critical questions about the process by which donor cells transform into leukemia. Some stem cell donors may unknowingly carry genetic mutations that are harmless in their own bodies but could trigger cancer in recipients. Additionally, factors such as immunosuppressive therapy, bone marrow stress, and transplantation procedures may contribute to these rare but deadly outcomes. “Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to improving patient prognosis.” Ongoing research is focused on improving donor screening methods to help predict and prevent these complications. In the future, routine genetic testing for stem cell donors could become a standard part of the transplant process, helping clinicians identify potential risks before transplantation. More studies are needed to fully understand why donor-derived cancers develop and how they can be prevented. With continued progress in precision medicine and genetic diagnostics, researchers aim to make stem cell transplants safer and more effective for all patients.

Life-The Spiritual Essence: An Engineer's Insights into the Integrated Nature of Divinity by Deepak Parashar Linkedin.com Amazon.com The transformative journey of the author, an engineer, began with “chance” blessings from the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. Over 12 years of research ensued across 38 countries on how the substratum of energy interconnects our world under the umbrella of divinity—traversing the realms of science and spirituality, philosophy, 15 religions, nature, cultures, and locales. With timely support from subject matter experts, including a NASA astronaut, a WWII Nuremberg Trials prosecutor, a Tuskegee airman, clergy, holistic educators, as well as leaders from industry, defense, and the arts; the author combined over 25,000 pages of his research and travels to draw insights into life's spiritual essence. The outcomes encompass a strategic, holistic system for daily improvement; an integrated energy model explaining our cooperative existence; and the iterative science behind five major religions. Derived analyses include modern leadership philosophies rooted in ancient scriptures applied across diverse professions, and a spiritual travelogue that transcends boundaries by embracing profound topics such as the depths of human suffering, the heights of natural wonder, and the diverse realms of art and culture. "Life—The Spiritual Essence" serves as an encyclopedic resource for the global professional, providing diverse avenues for exploration and growth through cheerful dynamism to achieve excellence while serving the larger community. The message emphasizes hope at its core, drawing inspiration from the paths of leaders throughout history, powered on by our innate curiosity and grit to surpass personal boundaries to achieve lasting peace. With over 65 illustrations and pictures,"Life—The Spiritual Essence" includes: Table A: The Six Trigger Points, tested over seven years, serve as an illuminating holistic system for the mind organized into six action-oriented quadrants. Presented on a single page for daily review, they provide critical behavior analysis, driving subliminal improvements while studying admirable traits in the common man and leaders alike. By exploring their various permutations and combinations, one can analyze most daily experiences within this framework. And achieving over 50 percent alignment with these triggers invariably leads to a fulfilling day! Table B-1: Provides a comprehensive technical analysis of Hinduism's perspective on the creation of the universe, exploring its views from macrocosmic to microcosmic levels elucidating the genesis of life, and delineating the pathway towards transcendence. Table B-2: Examines the vision and iterative science behind Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism. While some may perceive it as comparative, its focus lies in offering a structural analysis across 16 cardinal pillars that energize these age-old philosophies. This effort evolved over several years working with clergy, religious scholars, and holistic educators. Table C: Pursuant to the analyses in Tables A, B-1, and B-2, the author identifies specific boundary conditions and presents a comprehensive model that seamlessly integrates divinity, drawing upon the elements outlined earlier. Grounded in energy as the unifying substratum, it bridges the qualitative and quantitative aspects to elucidate the inclusive nature of reality. Spiritual Travelogue: The author's global quest delves into the essence of divinity through profound encounters, bridging theory and practice. These encompass seeking wisdom from figures like the Dalai Lama, poignant visits to WWII Concentration Camps, primal nature excursions into tornado alley (USA) and the sub-Arctic to witness the enchanting aurora borealis, to examining divinity within the fine arts, notably music and cinema. These rich experiences invite readers to contemplate the intricate tapestry of cultu...

Primary immunodeficiency disorders include more than 400 conditions, and a growing number of people are being recognized as having them as a result of improved diagnostic tools and greater awareness among physicians. Most treatments for these conditions are plasma-derived therapies sourced from donors. We spoke to Joerg Schuettrumpf, chief scientific innovation officer at Grifols, about the changing landscape for these conditions, the challenges of ensuring a reliable supply of plasma-derived therapies, and how treatment options may evolve.
Here Gober talks about how materialism is giving way to a new scientific paradigm where matter is derived from consciousness. He has compiled extensive research and gives numerous examples from many reputable physicists that turn the reigning scientific paradigm upside down and he indicates what this implies for our everyday lives. Mark Gober is a senior member of the Sherpa Technology Group in Silicon Valley, California, a firm that advises technology companies on mergers and acquisitions and business strategy. He previously worked as an investment banker analyst in New York. Mark graduated Magna Cum Laude from Princeton University and has collected and surveyed a large body of research of various scientific papers and books about consciousness, biological processes, psychic phenomena, near-death experiences, and quantum physics.

Sunday, 22 December 2024 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Matthew 5:47 “And if you embrace only your brothers, what extra do you do? And do not the taxmen, the ‘himself' they do?” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus noted the pointless nature of expecting rewards when you love those who love you, noting that even tax collectors do that. Now, He continues that thought, saying, “And if you embrace only your brothers.” He uses the word aspazomai. Strong's Lexicon says, “Derived from a (as a particle of union) and a presumed form of spao (to draw); meaning to enfold in the arms, i.e., to greet or embrace.” Although most translations simply say greet, salute, hail, or something similar, the word indicates a hearty welcome where the arms enfold around someone. Today, we might grab someone, pull him closer, put one arm around him, and then give him a pat on the back. It is a welcome that demonstrates felicity. When greeting a brother like this, Jesus questions them about it, asking, “what extra do you do?” The obvious answer is, “nothing.” It is what everyone who greets a brother or a friend does. This is so obvious that He next says, “And do not the taxmen, the ‘himself' they do?” Some manuscripts use the word ethnikoi, those from non-Jewish ethnicity, rather than telonai, taxmen, as was seen in the previous verse. Either way, the point is made. Jesus uses an example of someone who is considered contemptible by the Jews, demonstrating that this is what everyone does, regardless of culture, social status, etc. He will next finish the chapter with words that sum up His thoughts on the matter that He has been addressing. Life application: There are various ways that manuscripts will wind up with differences in them. In the case of Matthew 5:47, what seems likely is that it was a case of dittography. This is where a letter or word is repeated by accident. In the Greek NT Text, the final sentence is almost identical except for one word, translated as tax collectors by the NKJV: ἐὰν γὰρ ἀγαπήσητε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, τίνα μισθὸν ἔχετε; οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν; καὶ ἐὰν ἀσπάσησθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν μόνον, τί περισσὸν ποιεῖτε; οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ ἐθνικοὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν; For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others?Do not even the tax collectors [ethnicities] do so? When translating verse 47, the Greek copyist looked up, his eyes probably glanced at verse 46 by accident, thus writing taxmen a second time instead of pagans or ethnicities. This is obviously speculation, but somehow an error crept into one of the two texts. To understand why there are various differences in the biblical texts, take time to read up on copyist errors. Along with dittography, some of the errors you will discover are haplography (omitting a repeated letter or word), metathesis (reversing letters or words), homeoteleuton (skipping a section due to similar line endings), and homeoarchy (skipping a section due to similar beginnings of lines). These and other copyist mistakes frequently crept into texts. Does this mean that the word of God is tainted? Not at all. It is there, but we must spend time and careful consideration to determine why the error occurred and which is the original. Though disputed by various scholars, the original exists. The Greek New Testament has thousands and thousands of manuscripts. Add in lectionaries, commentaries, and other ancient sources, and the originals can be determined. God has allowed fallen man to handle His word. Because of this, errors in transmission can be expected. But diligence and perseverance will lead to a fuller and closer understanding of what was originally given under inspiration of the Spirit. Lord God, thank You for those who have carefully recorded Your word over the ages, passing down what You originally gave us so that we can understand what You have done in the giving of Jesus. Help us to diligently search out Your word and faithfully transmit it to those around us so that they, too, can know. Amen.

Send us a textCHRISTThe Name | Part 2Dr. Jessica FernandezDecember 8, 2024#god #realspringcreekchurch #christ #thename What's in a name? In Scripture, names are more than just labels—they reveal identity, purpose, and destiny. The name Christ is no exception. Derived from the Greek Christos, meaning "Anointed One," it is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word Mashiach or "Messiah". This name declares Jesus as the chosen and empowered Savior, Prophet, Priest, and King. In this message, we'll explore the profound meaning of the name Christ and how it reveals Jesus' mission and identity. Together, we'll discover how understanding Him as the Anointed One can transform the way we see Him, love Him, and follow Him. This Christmas season let's move beyond familiarity and embrace the depth of who Jesus truly is as the Christ—the fulfillment of God's promises and the hope of the world.__ DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What does the name "Christ" reveal about Jesus' identity and mission?2. How do titles like Prophet, Priest, and King deepen your understanding of Jesus?3. What cultural or personal misconceptions about Jesus might you need to address?4. How can Simeon and Anna's faithfulness inspire your walk with God today?5. In what ways does recognizing Jesus as Christ shape your daily life and decisions?

BUFFALO, NY - November 25, 2024 – A new #editorial was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on November 12, 2024, entitled, “Visualizing radiological data bias through persistence images.” This editorial highlights a powerful tool called "persistence images," which could improve how medical imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) systems are developed and used. Authors Yashbir Singh, Colleen Farrelly, Quincy A. Hathaway, and Gunnar Carlsson from the Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN), provide a detailed explanation of how persistence images uncover hidden biases and advance fairness in healthcare AI. AI is becoming a major part of healthcare, helping clinicians analyze X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography scans. However, if the data used to train AI systems is biased, it could lead to unfair or inaccurate results. Derived from topological data analysis (TDA), persistence images transform complex medical scans into simple, stable visuals. These images make it easier to spot patterns or irregularities that could indicate bias. For example, they can reveal whether certain groups—such as patients of a specific age, gender, or ethnicity—are underrepresented in the data used to train AI systems. “The use of persistence images in radiological analysis opens up new possibilities for identifying and addressing biases in both data interpretation and AI model training...” This could help ensure that AI systems work equitably for all patient groups, resulting in more reliable diagnoses and better outcomes. In addition to detecting bias, persistence images also help filter out noise, or irrelevant details, from medical scans. This makes it easier for both AI systems and radiologists to focus on meaningful features in the images, improving overall accuracy. These insights help AI systems perform better and make more accurate, trustworthy decisions. Despite their potential, persistence images face challenges. Generating persistence images for large datasets demands substantial computing power, while integration into clinical workflows requires user-friendly tools and specialized training for healthcare professionals. As healthcare becomes more data-driven, tools like persistence images could transform how medical imaging is used. “By helping us visualize and address hidden biases, they can contribute to improved patient outcomes and more personalized healthcare delivery.” In conclusion, this editorial envisions a future where advanced mathematical tools like persistence images play a vital role in eliminating bias and improving patient outcomes. Integrating these tools into clinical workflows could enhance radiological analysis, setting new standards for accuracy and equity in healthcare worldwide.

Welcome to Episode #172 of The Coaching Podcast! This week, we're thrilled to be joined by Toby Jenkins, a dynamic executive coach, speaker, Olympian, and entrepreneur with a mission: to change the world's relationship with suffering. Toby's journey has taken him from the Olympic pool to the boardroom, where he's helped shape the mental resilience of everyone from military elites to tech founders. In our conversation, we explore the transformative power of psychological flexibility, discuss what it means to shift from 'harder, tougher, stronger' to a mindset of alignment, and dive into the nuances of performance behavior and acceptance commitment therapy. Get ready for an episode packed with deep insights and powerful tools to elevate your coaching approach. 1.45: What position in AFL would you like to play? 2.28: How did you discover water polo and what's your first early memory of a coach? 4.58: What was your experience of mental toughness as it relates to being an Olympian? Inspired by the awesome foursome and specifically Mike McKay (spelling) who had written on the bottom of the boat: Who – If not me, who? Now – If not now, when? Goal – Gold medal 8.21: Stoic Philosophy (Choice of Response) - The only control we have is the choices that we make. “If we can't control our reaction, how do we choose our response.” 9.05: Psychological Flexibility “As an Olympian – I thought I needed to be harder, tougher, stronger.” How can we help people rather than run through brick walls, instead, how do we help them become trampolines? This is the core shift in perspective of the performance mindset. “Buddha said that life is suffering and I tend to agree!” So how do we open up to that, acknowledge that, and still experience the joy? 11.35: What would you say to the coach who has had success with the ‘harder, tougher, stronger' approach? It's one tool in the coaching toolkit. It's not the absence of one, it's the presence of both. 13.26: Defining Psychological Flexibility as your ability to shift your attention. Derived from ACT which stands for: Acceptance Commitment Therapy Open up, be present, and do what matters because performance behavior is contextual. 15.32: Performance Behavior is defined as doing the thing that is less comfortable. ACT talks about moving towards behavior (short-term pain) and not positive and negative behavior. 18.36: Insights on balance (trade-offs) versus alignment (compounding)? 21.07: Key lesson - The most important work is never done (they are a set of practices). 24.01: Time Management - It is a non-renewable resource. 28.19: Sacrifice versus choice. 31.37: What makes a great coach? 1) Questions - "What if this was the last time?" 33.11: Disruptive coaching idea that will change the way we coach in 2030? AI may provide a coach for people in their pocket to accelerate the development of humans. 35.22: Toby's purpose: To change the world's relationship with suffering. 41.08: Crucible moment To learn more about becoming a workplace coach or advancing your coaching skills, visit: www.coachem.cc or email: info@emmadoyle.com.au About Toby Jenkins Toby is a husband, father, Olympian, executive coach, award-winning entrepreneur, and author.
