Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Josh Williamson and Hayden Sherman join Jace to discuss the return of Legion of Super-Heroes. Williamson explains the years-long process that led him to the series, his conversation with Mark Waid, why Superboy needed to return to the center of Legion mythology and why Lightning Lad serves as the emotional point of view for the opening story. Sherman discusses designing the future of the DC Universe, creating different visual languages for the Legion's many planets and drawing inspiration from classic Legion stories, European science-fiction comics, 2000 AD, Ronin, Judge Dredd and Spider-Man 2099. They also discuss introducing the enormous Legion cast gradually, honoring the property's passionate fan community and preserving the hope that has always defined the team.

August 2, 2026 Sunday's Scripture: Jeremiah 38:7-13 Also Starring...Every great story has an ensemble cast. We often focus on the heroes of the Bible, but no one accomplishes God's work alone. Behind every famous name is someone who encouraged, challenged, protected, equipped, or simply showed up at the right moment. Our current worship series Also Starring... celebrates the people who remind us that the Kingdom of God has always been a community project. Every week we'll explore the question: Who helped God's work happen that doesn't usually get the credit? This week's co-star is Ebed-Melech. God often works through unexpected people who choose compassion over comfort. Today's speaker is Will Fenton-Jones, Director of Multicultural Ministries for the East and West Ohio Conferences of The UMC. He has served in youth ministry and worship leadership roles in the UMC, and in the U.S. Army as a Chaplain Assistant. He deployed twice to Afghanistan, where he worked to build relationships with Afghan religious leaders. Will holds a bachelor's degree in religious studies and a master's in Urban Planning, Design, and Development. He currently serves in the U.S. Army Reserves as an Engineer Officer. Will and his wife, Rev. Joy Fenton-Jones, have two sons, Xander (6) and Declan (4).

Last month, you heard Da's discussion with four of his graduate students as they provided insights into learning within the design studio experience. This month, you'll hear more from those students—Kim Bahl, Tera Brasel, Marissa Herod, and Erica Kowalis. In this episode, they talk about the process of learning through pure play and propping up the design studio experience by journaling. While learn-by-play and journaling can leave students with points of aimlessness and moments of confusion, they also can be essential to artistic and lifelong learning efforts. Ultimately, the aimlessness and confusion become productive. You also in this episode will briefly hear from both Chicago-based choreographer and performer, Emma Knowlton, and indie writer, Olivia Gaines. Olivia will be fully featured in next month's episode.
A comedy about an ace reporter out to frame a lady judge to help his boss. - Originally aired on February 24, 1950
In the face of real estate markets that cater to upscale buyers and the resulting scarcity of affordable housing, a variety of co-living arrangements are flourishing....though they remain largely invisible to mainstream culture. In this episode, two notable architects -- Neeraj Bhatia of Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture and Antje Steinmüller of the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning -- describe their research into the social dynamics of co-living. They also explain how architectural design, commoning, and municipal policies can support co-housing, co-ops, intentional communities, and communes. To make co-iiving options a robust sector of housing, these strategies need far more attention. For more on the commons, go to www.Bollier.org.

A clinical hypnotist told him the problem in one sentence. You don't believe, at a subconscious level, that you were meant to be successful. That was Rob Dyrdek in his twenties, long before the professional skateboarder turned MTV star turned venture studio founder built a portfolio of brands and walked away from a run of exits. He tracks every minute of his day. He rates his life, his work, and his health on a scale of zero to ten, every single night. What the data told him is not what you would expect. The discipline is not the reward. It is the entry fee. He calls what he built the Machine Method, and he applies it to everything. Companies, relationships, health, a hundred-year plan for a family that does not exist yet. The part that will stay with you is what he says about luck. He refuses to pretend he earned all of it, and he is unnervingly clear about what makes it show up more often. You are already designing your life. The only real question is whether you are doing it on purpose. Rob on Instagram In this episode you will: Learn the Machine Method, the discovery to diligence to launch to scale process Rob uses to build and sell companies Discover why he rates his life, work, and health on a zero to ten scale every single day and what the correlation reveals Overcome the stuck stress that quietly drains your capacity long before you sit down to work Recognize the difference between failing with clarity and getting blindsided, and why one is survivable Build a life design where automation comes first, optimization never stops, and the process finally starts giving energy back For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1961 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

From the Inside Out: With Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein
Send us Fan MailFrom the Inside Out: Color, Confidence, and God-Given Design with Rivky DuchmanIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we introduce guest Rivky Duchman, a Miami Beach color analyst and image consultant who blends aesthetics with Torah and Chassidus. Rivky explains her work uses the face as an “aesthetic blueprint” (skin tone, eyes, hair, contrast, texture, lines, and energy) to identify harmonious colors and styles, helping women develop signature style, reduce insecurity, and avoid trend-driven noise. She outlines seasonal color analysis origins and nuanced subtypes, shares how outside comments can disconnect people from their design, and discusses aesthetics as communication, first impressions, modesty, and dignity, citing stories about Rabbi Ishmael. Rivky supports enhancement tools like makeup or hair color while warning against “distortion,” critiques status-driven trend chasing, and emphasizes that true worth comes from being a part of Hashem and expressing inner beauty outward.EPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyRent a private pool by the hour, right in your own city — no crowds, no chaos, just your family or friends in your own space, with over 15,000 pools across the US, Canada, and Australia.Download the app or visit Swimply.com — code INSIDEOUT10 for 10% off your next booking!Shefa LivingWomen carry so much — marriage, kids, running a home, all while staying connected to Hashem and themselves.

What if your biggest profit leak is hiding behind the bar, in the engine your guests never see?Tobin Ellis spent 30 years behind the stick before he started designing bars for a living. As founder of Studio Barmagic, he's redesigned everything from NFL stadiums to five-diamond resorts, once lifting a landmark hotel bar's revenue 131% in a single quarter.In this conversation, we get into why your labor problem is really a design problem, why the money is made during peak volume instead of slow Tuesdays, and why he builds every bar for the bartender first, the guest second, and the investor last.If your margins are thin and your weekends are leaving money on the table, this one shows you where to look.That's Tobin Ellis.

What if leadership isn't about producing results, but helping people become who they're capable of becoming? Jon Houghton has spent much of his life helping people grow. For more than twenty years, he served in leadership roles with Young Life, developing leaders, building teams, and helping others discover their gifts and purpose. Then, after a successful career doing work he deeply loved, Jon made a surprising decision. He left. Not because something was broken. Not because he was unhappy. But because he felt called to explore a new challenge and discover what another chapter might hold. Today, Jon serves as CEO of Holy Post Media, a company creating thoughtful conversations around faith, culture, leadership, and life in an increasingly polarized world. Through Holy Post, Chicago Fellowship, and countless conversations with leaders, Jon continues to ask questions that matter. Questions about identity. Questions about purpose. Questions about what it means to grow. In this episode of Design Of, Jon shares the lessons he's learned about leadership, feedback, community, faith, and personal transformation. Along the way, he reflects on mentors who shaped him, the risks of staying too long, the challenges of starting over, and why some of the most important work leaders do has nothing to do with performance metrics. Jon shared a question that has quietly followed him throughout much of his life: "Am I lovable if I'm not impressive?" It's a deeply human question. And it opens the door to a conversation about ambition, achievement, identity, and the freedom that comes when we stop trying to prove ourselves and start helping others flourish. This conversation isn't really about leadership. It's about becoming. And helping others do the same. In This Episode, We Explore: • Why Jon chose to leave a successful twenty-year career and start a new chapter • The transition from nonprofit leadership to leading a growing media company • How healthy leadership begins with self-awareness • The difference between helping people perform and helping people grow • Why feedback feels threatening and how to receive it differently • The role faith plays in leadership, relationships, and community • Building meaningful connections in a culture that often lacks depth • How mentors help us see things in ourselves we cannot yet see Key Takeaways: • Great leadership starts with personal health and self-awareness. • You cannot help others grow if you are unwilling to grow yourself. • Feedback becomes less threatening when your identity is rooted in something deeper than performance. • Meaningful community requires intentional effort and vulnerability. • Growth often begins when we leave something comfortable and familiar. • The best leaders help people become more fully who they were created to be. About Jon Jon Houghton is the CEO of Holy Post Media, a media company focused on thoughtful conversations about faith, culture, leadership, and public life. He also leads Chicago Fellowship, a community that brings together nonprofit and marketplace leaders seeking to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Prior to Holy Post, Jon spent more than two decades with Young Life, helping develop leaders and organizations across the country. His work today centers on creating meaningful conversations, building healthy communities, and helping people become who they're capable of becoming.
Episode vertigineux ! On s'est totalement emballé avec le plastique, mais pas tout à fait celui que vous pensez.. Une interview sensass pour découvrir ce qu'on ignore et que pourtant nous devons savoir pour faire les bons choix pour nous, notre santé et le vivant.Je ne connaissais pas Nathalie Gontard pas avant de lire votre livre qui a radicalement changé ma vision des choses.Avant j'avais une idée du plastique surtout autour du "matériau" plastique et en lisant son livre j'ai compris que ce qui était dangereux était en réalité celui qui est partout invisible dans nos vies : en micro et nano particules dans l'air de nos intérieurs, dans les peintures, colles, traitements anti feu, anti tache, anti....vie ! Qu'il se déguise aussi en faux bois, fausse pierre, faux marbre, fausse laine, faux papier.... bref qu'il s'est enkysté partout et que quoi qu'il arrive on est en interaction avec lui en permanence.Il est dans l'air, dans l'eau, dans les sols mais aussi dans notre corps. Vous connaissez peut être ce chiffre rappelant que nous ingérons l'équivalent d'une carte bleu par semaine de plastique.Nous voilà donc tous concernés et notamment celles et ceux qui prescrivent et choisissent pour nous, utilisateurs, les matériaux des endroits dans lesquels nous nous divertissons et où nous partageons avec nos amis et nos proches (hôtels, restaurants, cafés, cinémas, théâtres, opéras....)Cet épisode est au coeur de mes réflexions autour de la cosmopolitesse. Il est diffusé aujourd'hui, en 2025, car je ressens que nous sommes prêts à entendre ces révélations sans s'écrouler car nous avons déjà été pas mal informés ces dernières années.2025 est l'année où l'audace se met au diapason du beau cosmpoli ! Pierre d'amour du beau après pierre d'amour du beau, je nous souhaite que la cosmopolitesse colore les standards tout azimut des "faiseurs" de beau !Un grand merci par avance de partager autour de vous et de faire circuler ces savoirs qui libèrent !Où trouver le livre de nathalie ? aux éditions stock : https://www.editions-stock.fr/livre/plastique-le-grand-emballement-9782234088481/ et dans toutes les bonnes librairies.https://www.inrae.fr/actualites/nathalie-gontard-lemballadeuse--> Les chapitres de l'épisode : 0:00 - Introduction5:30 - La chaîne de vie du plastique7:37 - Le comportement du matériau plastique dans notre écosystème14:02 - La vraie pollution plastique18:44 - L'empreinte plastique 33:34 - Questionner notre rapport au temps38:08 - La fausse idée du recyclage du plastique44:05 - La production du plastique48:10 - Les nouvelles habitudes face au plastique52:14 - La définition du beau54:53 - La collaboration entre la création et la science54:53 - La collaboration entre la création et la science1:00:43 - La notion du biodégradableHébergé par Audiomeans.

J'ai mis plus de 6 mois avant d'avoir un rdv avec Olivier Hamant pour un podcast ! Vous vous en doutez, j'ai eu le temps de penser à TOUTES mes questions sur le lien entre la robustesse et le beau…Je vous la fait courte :-performance = fragilité-circularité non bio compatible = violenceAucun être vivant n'avait encore créé un système qui ne se boucle pas.« Nous vivons dans une technosphère que nous avons bâtie de toutes pièces… mais qui ne respecte aucun des grands principes du vivant :-pas de circularité,-pas de coopération,-pas de robustesse. »Ce sont les mots du biologiste dans l'épisode #233 de Où est le beau ?Là où l'air, l'eau, la matière organique cyclent en permanence, nos systèmes accumulent, stagnent, polluent.Plus on optimise, plus on fragilise. En voilà un paradoxe !Un système trop performant devient ultra-dépendant… donc ultra-vulnérable.
Bernadette Bensaude Vincent est une grande dame des sciences humaines, dont la voix contribue à redéfinir notre rapport au monde et rend possible le beau de réserve que j'appelle ici et à travers tous mes projets, de nos vœux.Elle n'est pas seulement une historienne et philosophe des sciences parmi les plus respectées au monde, elle est aussi une penseuse libre et une humaniste engagée.Elle rappelle depuis de très nombreuses années que la science et la chimie de synthèse ne valent que si elles sont pensées avec et pour le monde, et non contre lui !J'aime sa rigueur et le jusque-boutisme de sa pensée qui ne se contente pas d'analyser les savoirs, aussi impressionnants soient-ils, mais qui interroge leurs finalités, leurs dérives et leurs responsabilités.Depuis plus de quarante ans, elle explore les fondements de la chimie, des technologies et des matériaux, en les mettant en dialogue avec les enjeux écologiques, sociaux et éthiques qui sont les nôtres aujourd'hui.Elle défend une pensée connectée au vivant, aux rythmes du systeme Terre.Sa parole est précieuse parce qu'elle est libre. Libre des appartenances disciplinaires, des chapelles. Elle critique d'ailleurs ouvertement les logiques extractives, technocratiques ou court-termistes qui ont déconnecté la science de la sagesse.Elle nous rappelle que comprendre la matière, c'est renouer avec une généalogie vivante, relier l'humain à ce qui l'entoure.Pour moi, dans cette époque troublée par les crises écologiques, la perte de sens et la fragilité de notre espèce, Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent ouvre des chemins, éclaire, structure et réveille… nos consciences.Elle nous apprend à écouter les choses, à penser le temps autrement, à redonner un rôle aux matériaux, pas comme de simples ressources, mais comme des partenaires de composition !Ecouter et lire les « choses » qui composent notre monde comme des entités dotées de rythmes, de trajectoires, de durées propres…voilà ce qui est révolutionnaire d'après moi dans sa pensée !Dans sa pensée, les matériaux ne sont plus des stocks ou des flux passifs. Elle nous invite à travailler avec eux en ayant l'entendement de leur ligne de vie et du coup des différentes carrières que ces derniers peuvent avoir durant leur vie…qui est sur des échelles bien différentes de la nôtre de vie.Dans son ouvrage extraordinaire « Temps Pysage », Bernadette Bensaude Vincent propose une vision radicalement nouvelle qui donnera un nouveau souffle à toutes celles et ceux qui, au quotidien, mettent en oeuvre de la matiere (quelque soit les échelles).== Rejoins-moi dans le Social Club ! Un format plus brut, plus intime, où je partage ce que je ne dis nulle part ailleurs :• les dessous de mes rencontres• des réflexions sur l'art de vivre du new normal : beau et soutenable• des gestes simples mais puissants du quotidien• des pistes concrètes pour aligner goût et éthique lorsqu'on esthète, design, art et architecture lover !
Pour cet épisode, je vous propose une discussion un peu différente et absolument passionnante !Ça n'aura échappé à personne, notre monde est en train de changer, on se questionne tous.Et j'ai pensé que pour mieux comprendre le monde, ça pouvait être intéressant de recevoir dans ce podcast une personne qui a vécu des choses incroyables Jean-Francois Clervoy est astronaute, il a un CV très impressionnant et surtout il est allé 3 fois dans l'espace !Et c'est toujours quelque chose qui m'a intriguée, passionnée .. Qu'est-ce qu'on ressent quand on voit notre planète en face de nous ? Qu'est-ce qu'on se dit ? Qu'est-ce qu'on comprend ?Vous savez on dit souvent que l'Overview Effect - lorsqu'on L'expérimente - est transformateur, qu'on n'oublie jamais cette sensation et qu'il permet des prises de consciences fortes.Jean-Francois Clervoy nous raconte ce sentiment d'amour intense qu'il ressenti en voyant la terre depuis l'espace et il nous décrit tout ce qui passe là-haut, on a vraiment l'impression d'y être !Je crois écouter le témoignage d'une des rares personnes a avoir vécu cette expérience, nous fera du bien à tousÇa pourra peut-être que ça pourra nous aider, dans notre vie de tous les jours, à prendre un peu de hauteur et voir les choses autrement et à faire les choses plus en conscience.Jean-Francois Clervoy parle de la terre comme notre vaisseau spatial et nous invite à tous se comporter non pas comme des passagers mais des membres d'équipage, d'un même équipage unique, et saisir chacun notre rôle dans la conduite de ce vaisseau pour un demain plus beau !Je ne vous en dis pas plus et vous souhaite une très bonne écouteCet épisode a été réalisé grâce à la complicité de Plendi by Vinci Construction.>> SUIVEZ MOI SUR INSTAGRAM @ouestlebeau>>La société Novespace>>Pour admirer notre planète : l'application Blueturn dont on parle à la fin de l'épisod>>livre Histoire de la Conquete Spatiale - Les 50 ans d'Apollo par Clervoy Jean-Francois et Frank Lehot dont les bénéfices sont reversés à l'Association Te Mana O Te Moana>> CREDITS Où est le beau ? est un Podcast créé et réalisé par Hélène AguilarEdition et montage : Paco Del RossoIdentité graphique : Catherine SofiaHébergé par Audiomeans.

Ce que la foret dit de nous ! (épisode publié en 2021)A l'heure où la sauvegarde de nos forêts est un enjeu majeur pour la préservation et la régénération de la biodiversité, j'ai eu envie de demander au botaniste Francis Hallé de partager avec nous son regard sur le beau.Après avoir passé sa vie à étudier les forêts tropicales, Francis Hallé porte aujourd'hui un projet aussi beau qu'ambitieux.. recréer une forêt primaire en Europe !L'idée : ne rien faire pendant 700 ans dans une forêt de 26x26 km afin que la richesse de la faune et de la flore puisse renaitre. « En laissant la forêt pousser, c'est peut être nous qui grandiront » suggère-t-il.Un projet transgénérationnel et transfrontalier inédit que nous pouvons tous soutenir en adhérant à son association ( https://www.foretprimaire-francishalle.org). C'est bien sur les conopées des arbres des forêt primaires que l'on retrouve la plus grande concentration de biodiversité ! Un trésor qu'il convient préserver de la déforestation, des monocultures d'arbres, de la coupe à blanc et de toute gestion intensive.Ce que Francis Hallé nous explique c'est le rôle fondamental des forêts dans nos vies. Une reconnexion émotionnelle entre elle et nous est nécessaire pour préserver tous les services qu'elle nous rend au niveau planétaire, car n'oublions pas que les arbres ont absorbés les ⅔ du dioxyde de carbone émis par nos activités.D'ailleurs le botaniste le répète dans cet épisode « on protège mal ce que l'on ne connait pas » et il nous passe des messages forts afin que l'on ait davantage envie de connaitre le nom des arbres, des animaux, des plantes que l'on retrouve dans la forêt.Dans cette conversation, nous parlons du beau du début à la fin.En effet, comme Francis Hallé nous le rappelle très justement, nous sommes certainement l'un des seuls êtres vivants à avoir conscience de la beauté. Le botaniste nous invite à retrouver un regard amoureux du monde et s'émerveiller face à la complexité de la nature, du vivant, des forêts.. pour n'avoir qu'une seule envie.. les protéger !Je ne vous en dis pas plus et vous souhaite une très bonne écoute.>> SUIVEZ MOI SUR INSTAGRAM @ouestlebeau>> Pour écouter les épisodes : Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer et sur le site de HOME Magazine 48h avant tout le monde !>> Inscrivez-vous à la NEWSLETTER pour recevoir (2x mois) le beau dans votre boite mail>> CREDITS Où est le beau ? est un Podcast créé et réalisé par Hélène AguilarEdition et montage : Marine KergrohenIdentité graphique : Catherine Sofia Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Building an audience is one thing. Building a community that keeps showing up year after year is something else entirely. Mike Potter has spent two decades growing the For Mac Eyes Only podcast and the last ten years turning those listeners into the thriving community behind MacStock Conference & Expo. In this conversation, he shares the lessons he's learned from creating an event people genuinely want to return to.Mike explains why the best communities are built around shared experiences instead of endless content, how unplanned hallway conversations often become the most valuable part of an event, and why authenticity matters more than chasing someone else's engagement strategy. Whether you're dreaming about hosting your first meetup or creating a stronger connection with your audience online, you'll come away with practical ideas for building something that lasts.Key Points:Start small. Meetups and mastermind groups can grow into thriving communities over time.Design events around connection, not just presentations. The "hallway track" often creates the biggest impact.Give people space between sessions so conversations can happen naturally.Traditions and recurring rituals help transform attendees into returning community members.Partnerships create stronger long-term relationships than traditional sponsorships.Perfection isn't the goal. Great communities remember the experience, not the small things that went wrong.Invite passionate people to share what they care about most instead of assigning topics.Stay true to your own communication style instead of copying someone else's community strategy.Resources:MacStock Conference & Expo: Website | Youtube | MastodonFor Mac Eyes Only: Website | YouTube | MastodonZac Brown: Website | Podcast ----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15CreatorNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

Mikael and Jack answer listener questions on indoor versus outdoor FTP differences, whether time in zone is all that matters and how to optimise interval intensity, a first 70.3 debrief covering swim breathing problems and bike cramps, and lots more! Email us your questions, or answer the question prompts in our Instagram stories to get your questions answered on the next Q&A. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Why indoor and outdoor FTP differ, whether a 20-watt gap is normal, and why Mikael has never had an athlete test both. Fans and airflow as the most underrated indoor cycling upgrade, including the research showing 40 km time-trial power is maintained up to 27°C when airflow matches outdoor riding speed. How to back-calculate an outdoor FTP from your own sweet spot and threshold interval data rather than doing a second test. Why a 10-minute interval should not be done at your 10-minute power, and how to perform a session so you finish at a session RPE of 7 to 8 with something left in the tank. Is time in zone all that matters? The same power and the same total work can produce very different internal loads. Minimum rep lengths if you want to spread work through a longer ride: 4 to 5 minutes for VO2max reps, 10 to 15 minutes for threshold reps. A first 70.3 debrief: why the swim breathing fell apart and how to break the hypercapnia (CO2 buildup) spiral, and what most likely caused hamstring cramps at 70 km on a hilly bike course. Instagram questions: finding your bike power in the first 20 minutes of a race, whether a VO2max block followed by a threshold block is a silver bullet, training after dental surgery, splitting 120 g of carbs per hour, and preparing for the Ironman Nice climb when you have no long climbs.

For years, the conversation around educational technology centered on one question: How can we get more technology into classrooms? Today, we’re facing a different challenge. It’s time to move beyond debates about screen time and start thinking more intentionally about when technology leads to deeper... The post Beyond Screen Time: The Low Tech Learning Matrix appeared first on Spencer Education.
Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about... Why children who are loving, sweet, and cooperative in many moments can still get stuck saying "no" to the smallest requests. What your child's resistance may actually be communicating, and why it often has very little to do with the task itself. A simple shift that can help break the cycle when every request seems to turn into a power struggle. Why giving your child more opportunities for independence can actually make them more willing to cooperate when it really matters. How to approach recurring battles, like tooth brushing, in a way that invites collaboration instead of more resistance. The one conversation to have before trying another consequence, reward, or punishment. Why sometimes the fastest way forward is to slow down and reset the relationship first. If your child keeps saying "no" or seems to turn everyday routines into a battle of wills, this episode will help you understand what's really driving the behavior and give you practical strategies to build more cooperation without getting pulled into constant power struggles.

You've been showing up. Doing the workouts. Putting in the time. And still, nothing is giving back — no strength, no visible muscle, no change in your body composition. In this episode, Melissa breaks down why muscle is the single best investment you can make in your midlife body, why so much of what women call "strength training" isn't actually building muscle, and why you can't build muscle on top of a body that isn't recovering.

International fixture, innovator and true legend Ralph Lauren is celebrating his 50th year in the fashion industry. Ralph explains how passion, conviction and intention were the keys to his early success when he was selling ties out of a drawer in the Empire State Building. He reflects on the valuable life lessons he learned during his humble childhood in the Bronx, where he was raised by Russian immigrant parents. Ralph also shares the “out-of-body” experience he felt when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and how the health scare brought him a greater sense of empathy to his own life. Hosted on Acast.

"Big Eva" may be fading, but a new generation of online Christian influencers is taking its place. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the rise of "Gig Eva," how digital platforms are reshaping Christian authority, and why accountability to real churches and communities still matters. Then, the number of words people speak each day is dropping as more of everyday life moves online. The crew considers what we lose when convenience replaces even the smallest human interactions. Then, Skye talks with behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley about why conversations with strangers usually go better than we expect. They discuss how small choices to connect with others can make us happier, healthier, and less divided. Also this week, a new explosive ocean discovery.

Air Date: 7/25/2026 Today we look at the idea that America has become a gerontocracy, a country run by the old, and then interrogate the premise a bit. The wealth, the politicians, and the voting electorate really do concentrate at the top of the age ladder, and benefits for the old tend to stay protected while younger people wait their turn. But several of our sources argue age is the wrong name for the problem, that it is really a story about money and who the whole system was built to serve.
