The ground beneath our feet feels shaky right now. Everywhere we turn, headlines scream of violence, deep divisions fracture our communities, and even our families. Apocalyptic predictions circulate wildly, stirring up fear and anxiety. Where can we find solid ground when everything around us trembles?This episode introduces a first way that God took care of His people, as we explore:  "Days of Distinction: How God's Got You in Goshen." God provided safe harbor for His people during chaotic times. Drawing from the biblical account of Goshen—where the Israelites found provision and protection during Egypt's plagues—we discover a spiritual principle that transcends ancient history. Goshen wasn't merely a geographical location; it represents God's pattern of drawing a distinction around His people, saying "I've got you" when the world is in turmoil.When Joseph told his starving family, "You shall live in Goshen and be near me," we can see an example of how God positions provision before crisis hits. This pattern continues throughout Scripture and into our lives today. While the world fixates on shortages and collapse, believers can rest in the promise that God "will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." More than stockpiling supplies or retreating in fear, what our world desperately needs are faith-filled voices testifying to God's faithfulness. Like Joseph, we're called not to hoard God's provision but to extend it generously to others.Ready to experience God's distinction in your life? Join us for this journey and discover how to "Seek Him Speak Him"—first encountering God personally through His Word, then sharing His truth with those around you. When you feel surrounded by chaos, remember you're actually surrounded by the God of heaven's armies, who still provides for His people today.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

BONUS: Nesrine Changuel shares how to create product delight through emotional connection! In this BONUS episode we explore the book by Nesrine Changuel: 'Product Delight - How to make your product stand out with emotional connection.' In this conversation, we explore Nesrine's journey from research to product management, share lessons from her experiences at Google, Spotify, and Microsoft, and unpack the key strategies for building emotionally resonant products that connect with users beyond mere functionality. The Genesis of Product Delight "I quickly realized that there is something that is quite intense while building Skype... it's not just that communication tool, but it was iconic, with its blue, with ringtones, with emojis. So it was clear that it's not just for making calls, but also to make you feel connected, relaxed, and part of it." Nesrine's journey into product delight began during her transition from research to product management at Skype. Working on products at major companies like Skype, Spotify, and Google Meet, she discovered that successful products don't just function well—they create emotional connections. Her role as "Delight PM" at Google Meet during the pandemic crystallized her understanding that products must address both functional and emotional user needs to truly stand out in the market. Understanding Customer Delight in Practice "The delight is about creating two dimensions and combining these two dimensions altogether, it's about creating products that function well, but also that help with the emotional connection." Customer delight manifests when products exceed expectations and anticipate user needs. Nesrine explains that delight combines surprise and joy—creating positive surprises that go beyond basic functionality. She illustrates this with Microsoft Edge's coupon feature, which proactively suggests discounts during online shopping without users requesting it. This anticipation of needs creates memorable peak moments that strengthen emotional connections with products. Segmenting Users by Motivators "We can discover that users are using your product for different reasons. I mean, we tend to think that users are using the product for the same reason." Traditional user segmentation focuses on demographics (who users are) or behavior (what they do). Nesrine advocates for motivational segmentation—understanding why users engage with products. Using Spotify as an example, she demonstrates how users might seek music for specific songs, inspiration, nostalgia, or emotional regulation. This approach reveals both functional motivators (practical needs) and emotional motivators (feelings users want to experience), enabling teams to build features aligned with user desires rather than assumptions. In this segment, we refer to Spotify Wrapped.  The Distinction from Jobs To Be Done "There's no contrast. I mean to be honest, it's quite aligned, and I'm a big fan of the job to be done framework." While aligned with Clayton Christensen's Jobs To Be Done framework, Nesrine's approach extends beyond identifying triggers to practical implementation. She acknowledges that Jobs To Be Done provides the foundational theory, distinguishing between personal emotional motivators (how users want to feel) and social emotional motivators (how they want others to perceive them). However, many teams struggle to translate these insights into actual product features—a gap her Product Delight framework addresses through actionable methodologies. Navigating the Line Between Delight and Addiction "Building for delight is about creating products that are aligned with users' values. It's about aligning with what people really want themselves to feel. They want to feel themselves, to feel a better version of themselves." The critical distinction between delight and addiction lies in value alignment. Delightful products help users become better versions of themselves and align with their personal values. Nesrine contrasts this with addictive design that creates dependencies contrary to user wellbeing. Using Spotify Wrapped as an example, she explains how reflecting positive achievements (skills learned, personal growth) creates healthy engagement, while raw usage data (hours spent) might trigger negative self-reflection and potential addictive patterns. Getting Started with Product Delight "If you only focus on the functional motivators, you will create products that function, but they will not create that emotional connection. If you take into consideration the emotional motivators in addition to the functional motivators, you create perfect products that connect with users emotionally." Teams beginning their delight journey should start by identifying both functional and emotional user motivators through direct user conversations. The first step involves listing what users want to accomplish (functional) alongside how they want to feel (emotional). This dual understanding enables feature development that serves practical needs while creating positive emotional experiences, leading to products that users remember and recommend. Product Delight and Human-Centered Design "Making products feel as if it was done by a human being... how can you make your product feel as close as possible to a human version of the product." Nesrine positions product delight within the broader human-centered design movement, but focuses specifically on humanization at the product feature level rather than just visual design. She shares examples from Google Meet, where the team compared remote meetings to in-person experiences, and Dyson, which benchmarks vacuum cleaners against human cleaning services. This approach identifies missing human elements and guides feature development toward more natural, intuitive interactions. In this segment we refer to the books Emotional Design by Don Norman, and Design for Emotion by Aarron Walter..  AI's Role in Future Product Delight "AI is a tool, and as every tool we're using, it can be used in a good way, or could be used in a bad way. And it is extremely possible to use AI in a very good way to make your product feel more human and more empathetic and more emotionally engaging." AI presents opportunities to enhance emotional connections through empathetic interactions and personalized experiences. Nesrine cites ChatGPT's conversational style—including apologies and collaborative language—as creating companionship feelings during work. The key lies in using AI to identify and honor emotional motivators rather than exploit them, focusing on making users feel supported and understood rather than manipulated or dependent. Developer Experience as Product Delight "If the user of your products are human beings... whether business consumer engineers, they deserve their emotions to be honored, so I usually don't distinguish between B2B or B2C... I say like B2H, which is business to human." Developer experience exemplifies product delight in B2B contexts. Companies like GitHub have created metrics specifically measuring developer delight, recognizing that technical users also have emotional needs. Tools like Jira, Miro, and GitHub succeed by making users feel more competent and productive. Nesrine advocates for "B2H" (business to human) thinking, emphasizing that any product used by humans should consider emotional impact alongside functional requirements. About Nesrine Changuel Nesrine is a product coach, trainer, and author with experience at Google, Spotify, and Microsoft. Holding a PhD from Bell Labs and UCLA, she blends research and practice to guide teams in building emotionally resonant products. Based in Paris, she teaches and speaks globally on human-centered design. You can connect with Nesrine Changuel on LinkedIn.

Resorts World NYC lears another major hurdle in casino bid. Domestic dispute leads to stabbing, and Monticello High School to induct two into prestigious Hall of Distinction. All and more on Catskills News.

Have you ever experienced Scripture leaping off the page and speaking directly to your life? While camping in Crested Butte with my family, God highlighted Exodus 8:22-23 in a way that changed everything for me. As morning sunlight danced across the pond near our campsite, these ancient words about God making a "distinction" between His people and others pierced straight to my heart.The Hebrew word for "distinction" actually means "redemption" – revealing that God wasn't just separating His people from plagues but marking them for something profound. This revelation came during a week when our world was commemorating 9/11 and reeling from the attempted assassination of Charlie Kirk. Amid such chaos and darkness, God whispered assurance: "I've got you in Goshen."The story of God's people in Goshen isn't merely ancient history – it's a living parable for believers today. In our current landscape of fear, division, and uncertainty, God continues to make a distinction, setting apart those who belong to Him. This brings tremendous hope! Even when darkness seems overwhelming, God's people were not overcome then, and they will not be overcome now.Over the next seven episodes, we'll journey through this powerful theme, exploring God's provision, protection, purpose, prayer, preparation, and power as demonstrated in Goshen and relevant to our lives today. Whether you're a long-time follower of Christ or someone curious about what it means to have a relationship with God, these conversations are for you.We don't have to navigate these challenging times alone. God is working in and through us, creating these "Days of Distinction." Join us as we discover together how God has you in your own Goshen. Subscribe now and be encouraged as we seek Him and speak His truth into the lives of those entrusted to us.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Rule VI. Distinction between faith and spiritual sense. - Or the spiritual sense that we have of acceptance with God, there are a number parts or degrees; as, first, hereunto belongs peace with God: Rom. v. 1, "Being justified by faith, we have peace with God." This peace is the rest and composure of the soul emerging out of troubles, upon the account of the reconciliation and friendship made for it by the blood of Christ. And it hath, as all peace hath, two parts, —first, a freedom from war, trouble, and distress; and, secondly, rest, satisfaction, and contentment in the condition attained; —and this, at least the second part of it, belongs unto the spiritual sense that we inquire after.

We're celebrating 100 episodes of Powered by Learning with a special conversation with past podcast guests Dr. Kristal Walker, Marjorie Van Roon, Ajay Pangarkar, Robyn DeFelice, and Connie Malamed. Together, we reflect on the past five years in L&D—AI's promise (and limits), the rise of data-informed decisions, accountability for performance and ROI, and the renewed push for personalized, human-centered learning. Listen for an energizing look at where L&D is headed—and how your organization can evolve. Show Notes: Our podcast guests and co-hosts share practical perspectives you can use now while looking ahead to the future of L&D. AI is a powerful assistant and creative partner—use it to draft content, visuals, questions, and interactions, but always apply expert human review to ensure accuracy and instructional soundness. - Connie Malamed, Mastering Instructional Design Community The real shift is toward data and performance—L&D must tighten its partnership with the business, lead with data-informed decisions, and mature its advisory role. - Robyn DeFelice, Learning Strategist Treat AI as an accelerator, not a replacement—let it handle the basics so teams can focus on human-centered elements; expect growing emphasis on professional upskilling and certifications to keep a “seat at the table.” - Dr. Kristal Walker, VP Employee Wellbeing, Sweetwater Accountability is rising—L&D must show performance and financial impact. Build financial literacy to demonstrate value or risk losing resources to other priorities. - Ajay Pangarkar, Author & Speaker AI boosts brainstorming, editing, translation, and recommendations, but watch for bias, hallucinations, and cultural nuance; learners prefer shorter, visual, sometimes in-person experiences, and Gen Alpha will amplify demand for interactive, gamified learning. - Marjorie Van Roon, Senior Manager, Learning & Development, Best Buy Canada The d'Vinci co-hosts also shared some important key points: AI is still in its early days for L&D—what matters most is balancing ethical use with creating better, higher-impact learning. Instructional designers must remain the “human check and balance” to avoid bias, hallucinations, or copyright issues. - Luke Kempski, d'Vinci CEOAI works best as a creative partner and brainstorming tool. At d'Vinci, teams use it across functions—from design to strategy to development—but always within clear governance policies that align with client expectations. -  Mason Scuderi, d'Vinci PresidentThe rising learner demand for convenient, relevant, and personal training is pushing L&D professionals to grow their own design and consulting skills. The biggest opportunity ahead is balancing business impact with meaningful learner experiences.

“I ask them to sing with maximum efficiency, accessing their singer's formant, and from there, we'll ask for specific sounds. Sometimes conductors get stuck asking them to blend, to listen. When we do that, it's like giving them an 8-pack of Crayola and asking them to color. Instead, we start the rehearsal with a 64-pack and then throughout the rehearsal we might pick out the light blue #2 to color that section of the music. They're able to access the full breadth of their vocal powers in the rehearsal.”Francis Cathlina, D.M.A. (he/him) is a Vietnamese-American conductor and educator, renowned for his innovative approach to choral music.

Bernie Maloney: Problems vs. Solutions: The Great Product Owner Distinction Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Strategic Problem Solver Bernie describes an exemplary Product Owner from a stealth program sponsored by a CTO, where the company needed to create new intellectual property. This Great Product Owner understood that Agile operates in three dimensions: most organizations only focus on outputs and delivery (first dimension), some reach outcomes (second dimension), but the truly great ones operate in the third dimension of strategic or business agility - defining problems worth solving. This Product Owner knew that high-performing teams need to understand what problem is worth solving rather than just receiving solutions to build. They embraced the Mobius loop approach, focusing on discovering the right problems rather than jumping straight to solutions. In this segment, we refer to the Mobius Loop, and to Steve Blank's work on the job of a startup.  We also refer to the episode with Elliott Parker on the critical importance of the “startup mindset” to foster innovation in larger organizations.  The Bad Product Owner: The Backlog Jockey with Authority Issues Bernie identifies the anti-pattern of Product Owners being treated as mere "backlog jockeys" by their organizations, which forces them into solution-building mode rather than problem-solving mode. These Product Owners don't understand the importance of saying "no" and lack clarity about intent and goals. The worst case Bernie encountered was a team manager who also served as Product Owner, wielding positional authority that shut down team communication. This person would interrupt daily scrums, causing teams to revert to waiting for direction rather than self-organizing. The combination of unclear intent and positional authority creates a toxic environment that destroys team autonomy and psychological safety. Self-reflection Question: Is your Product Owner focused on defining problems worth solving, or are they primarily managing a backlog of predetermined solutions?

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Hannah Aline Taylor to explore themes of personal responsibility, freedom, and interdependence through her frameworks like the Village Principles, Distribution Consciousness, and the Empowerment Triangle. Their conversation moves through language and paradox, equanimity, desire and identity, forgiveness, leadership, money and debt, and the ways community and relationship serve as our deepest resources. Hannah shares stories from her life in Nevada City, her perspective on abundance and belonging, and her practice of love and curiosity as tools for living in alignment. You can learn more about her work at loving.university, on her website hannahalinetaylor.com, and in her book The Way of Devotion, available on Amazon.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Hannah Aline Taylor, introducing Loving University, Nevada City, and the Village Principles.05:00 They talk about equanimity versus non-duality, emotional mastery, and curating experience through boundaries and high standards.10:00 The focus shifts to desire as “who do I want to be,” identity as abstraction, and relationships beyond monogamy or labels.15:00 Hannah introduces the Empowerment Triangle of anything, everything, nothing, reflecting on reality as it is and the role of perception.20:00 Discussion of Nevada City's healing energy, community respect, curiosity, and differences between East Coast judgment and West Coast freedom.25:00 Responsibility as true freedom, rebellion under tyranny, delicate ecosystems, and leadership inspired by the Dao De Jing.30:00 Love and entropy, conflict without enmity, curiosity as practice, and attention as the prerequisite for experience.35:00 Forgiveness, discernment, moral debts, economic debt, and reframing wealth consciousness through the “princess card.”40:00 Interdependence, community belonging, relationship as the real resource, and stewarding abundance in a disconnected world.45:00 Building, frontiers, wisdom of indigenous stewardship, the Amazon rainforest, and how knowledge without wisdom creates loss.50:00 Closing reflections on wholeness, abundance, scarcity, relationship technology, and prioritizing humanity in transition.Key InsightsHannah Taylor introduces the Village Principles as a framework for living in “distribution consciousness” rather than “acquisition consciousness.” Instead of chasing community, she emphasizes taking responsibility for one's own energy, time, and attention, which naturally draws people into authentic connection.A central theme is personal responsibility as the true meaning of freedom. For Hannah, freedom is inseparable from responsibility—when it's confused with rebellion against control, it remains tied to tyranny. Real freedom comes from holding high standards for one's life, curating experiences, and owning one's role in every situation.Desire is reframed from the shallow “what do I want” into the deeper question of “who do I want to be.” This shift moves attention away from consumer-driven longing toward identity, integrity, and presence, turning desire into a compass for embodied living rather than a cycle of lack.Language, abstraction, and identity are questioned as both necessary tools and limiting frames. Distinction is what fuels connection—without difference, there can be no relationship. Yet when we cling to abstractions like “monogamy” or “polyamory,” we obscure the uniqueness of each relationship in favor of labels.Hannah contrasts the disempowerment triangle of victim, perpetrator, and rescuer with her empowerment triangle of anything, everything, and nothing. This model shows reality as inherently whole—everything arises from nothing, anything is possible, and suffering begins when we believe something is wrong.The conversation ties money, credit, and debt to spiritual and moral frameworks. Hannah reframes debt not as a burden but as evidence of trust and abundance, describing her credit card as a “princess card” that affirms belonging and access. Wealth consciousness, she says, is about recognizing the resources already present.Interdependence emerges as the heart of her teaching. Relationship is the true resource, and abundance is squandered when lived independently. Stories of Nevada City, the Amazon rainforest, and even a friend's Wi-Fi outage illustrate how scarcity reveals the necessity of belonging, curiosity, and shared stewardship of both community and land.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 3rd Publish Date:  September 3rd    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, September 3rd and Happy Birthday to Charlie Sheen I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 113-home development rezoning request tabled KSU recognized as Military Support College of Distinction Dove hunting this year? Make sure you have completed a hunter education course All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: 113-home development rezoning request tabled A rezoning request for a 113-home development near I-75 and South Marietta Parkway has been put on hold—at the owner’s request. The plan? Single-family homes and townhomes on 19.5 acres, though the builder, Traton, LLC, flagged some design and engineering tweaks. Kevin Moore, the project’s attorney, said revisions are underway to meet technical requirements and ensure the project’s feasibility. This isn’t the land’s first rodeo. Back in 2021, a 204-townhome proposal for the same area was shot down after community pushback. Will this smaller plan fare better? Time will tell. STORY 2: KSU recognized as Military Support College of Distinction  Kennesaw State University has earned the title of Military Support College of Distinction—one of only two schools in Georgia to snag the honor. It’s not just a badge; it’s a nod to KSU’s deep commitment to veterans, service members, and their families. From scholarships that fill funding gaps to partnerships with groups like the Warrior Alliance and Wounded Warrior Project, KSU goes beyond academics. They even host Georgia’s only VetSuccess on Campus counselor, guiding veterans through benefits, careers, and life’s next steps. STORY 3: Dove hunting this year? Make sure you have completed a hunter education course Got your eye on the perfect dove field this season? Before you grab your gear, make sure you’ve checked off one thing: hunter education. The Georgia DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division makes it easy with online and in-person options. Online courses (10 options, one in Spanish) range from free to $49.95, while in-person classes are free. Born after Jan. 1, 1961? You’ll need this. Details at GeorgiaWildlife.com. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Break: Ingles 7 STORY 4: Cobb District Attorney’s Office launches Victim Advocates Academy  Last month, District Attorney Sonya Allen’s office kicked off its first-ever Victim Advocates’ Academy—a five-session program aimed at giving advocates the tools, knowledge, and trauma-informed practices they need to better support crime victims. The next session? Thursday, Sept. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Cobb Public Safety Training Center in Austell. This one dives into post-conviction advocacy, including the Pardon & Parole process, with statewide resources shared by the Office of Victim Services. STORY 5: UPDATE: Fire destroys east Cobb restaurant An overnight fire gutted Chin Chin Chinese Restaurant, a beloved east Cobb spot that had been part of the community for 30 years. Owner Jasmine Chen, heartbroken, said the flames consumed everything. “I locked up around 10:15 p.m.,” Chen said. “By morning, it was gone.” A friend, who didn’t want to be named, said the fire likely started in the kitchen around 12:30 a.m. and spread fast. Chen, who’s owned the restaurant for 15 years, said, “Everyone knows Chin Chin. East Cobb has been so good to us.” Now, she waits for the insurance investigation. Break: STORY 6: Waterfowl Hunters: Early Teal and Goose season opportunities  Duck, duck…goose season’s almost here, y’all! Georgia hunters, it’s time to gear up for early teal and Canada goose season. Mark your calendars: goose season runs Sept. 6-28, 2025 (daily limit: five), and teal season is Sept. 13-21, 2025 (daily limit: six). Looking for a spot? Check out WMAs open for small game, or hit lakes like Juliette and Clarks Hill. Don’t forget your licenses and stamps—grab ’em at GoOutdoorsGeorgia.com. STORY 7: $3.3M roundabout project proposed at Powder Springs intersection Powder Springs and GDOT want your thoughts on a $3.3 million roundabout project at Austell-Powder Springs Road and Marietta Street. Right now, it’s just a traffic light and two lanes—but the plan? A four-exit roundabout, 6-foot sidewalks, and 10-foot bike paths connecting to the Silver Comet Trail. Why the change? Between 2020 and 2024, 69 crashes happened there—most right in the intersection. GDOT says the roundabout could cut injury crashes by 78%. Got opinions? Share them by Friday online, by mail, or email. Questions? Call the city or GDOT. Your voice could shape the final design—or stop it altogether. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Send us a textSettle in for a masterclass in comedy, connection, and creative perseverance as Welsh comedy legend Rob Brydon takes us on an intimate journey through his remarkable career. This isn't just another celebrity interview—it's a warm, revealing conversation that feels like eavesdropping on two old friends catching up over tea.From his childhood in Port Talbot watching comedy greats like Ryan Davis to becoming a national treasure himself, Rob shares the pivotal moments that shaped his path. The conversation brims with delightful anecdotes: crying with laughter at pantomimes as a child, nervously meeting Steve Coogan for the first time, and the sliding doors moment when he bumped into Hugo Blick at the BBC, leading to the creation of "Marion and Geoff"—the show that changed everything.What makes this episode truly special is Rob's disarming honesty about the struggles before success. While contemporaries like the League of Gentlemen were rising to fame, he was working on shopping channels, sending out VHS tapes that returned with the "crash of failure." His story reminds us that even the most accomplished performers face rejection and doubt. When he shares how Barry Humphries once told him, "You didn't just entertain that audience, you befriended them," we understand exactly what makes Rob so beloved by audiences worldwide.The conversation takes unexpected turns, from Rob's growing appreciation for nature as he ages to his thoughts on legacy. When asked how he'd like to be remembered, his immediate answer—"as just a good dad"—reveals the man behind the performer. With his upcoming Scandinavian edition of "The Trip" with Steve Coogan on the horizon, this conversation captures Rob at a reflective moment in his celebrated career.Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering Rob Brydon for the first time, this episode offers wisdom, warmth, and genuine laughter. Join us in the clearing for this thoughtful exploration of creativity, comedy, and the connections that make a life in entertainment meaningful.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Send us a textTommy Kilpatrick, a retired teacher and author, challenges conventional understanding of bank-issued credit cards by claiming they represent a worldwide banking fraud rather than legitimate debt. Following a personal financial crisis where he accumulated $85,000 in credit card debt, Kilpatrick discovered what he believes is a fundamental misrepresentation in how banks issue credit cards and collect payments.• Distinction between store-issued credit cards (legitimate debt backed by goods/services) versus bank-issued cards (allegedly fraudulent)• Bank-issued credit cards function more like gift cards since they lack traditional loan documentation (promissory notes, income verification, collateral)• After filing federal lawsuits against banks, Kilpatrick had his debts removed from his credit report within 45 days• The modern banking system allegedly creates money through accounting entries rather than lending existing funds• Process for challenging bank-issued credit card debt involves demanding evidence of legitimate debt (invoice, promissory note)• Working with accounting professionals can verify these claims and help prepare appropriate documentation• Even after challenging bank practices, consumers can still obtain new credit cards and rebuild credit scores• Banks allegedly profit approximately $23 per month from the average cardholder through feesTo learn more about challenging bank-issued credit card debt, check out Kilpatrick's book "Forgive and Forget: How to Nuke Your Credit Card Debt" available on Amazon, or schedule a 15-minute free consultation to receive the book for free.Show Notes1.

Being unique is a matter of pride—but being a complete mathematical impossibility? Man of Distinction by Michael Shaara. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Well, would you look at that… The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast has officially rocketed past 2 MILLION downloads! Two. Million!But here we are, with millions of plays — all thanks to you. Yes, you with the earbuds, the late-night playlist, and the taste for classic sci-fi greatness. You made this happen, and we can't thank you enough.Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts UK, this from DarrenInItaly “I love this Podcast and have listened to every episode, some episodes many, many times. But… please, no mid episode advertisements in your voice Scott, can we have them before or after. It's weird when a stranded astronaut, anticipating his own death, starts telling you about the benefit of his preferred daily supplements.”Now, about that ad you mentioned for Rise… guilty as charged. I got a little too excited sharing it because, honestly, it's been a game-changer for me. No more diabetic neuropathy pain, no more numbness, way more energy — I actually feel like myself again.And here's the thing: I want that for you, too. So if you're curious, there's a link for Rise in the description, or you can just head over to lostscifi.com and click the link at the top of the page.Ever notice how some of these old sci-fi stories had a way of peeking into the future? It's almost spooky sometimes.That's exactly what happens in this one — written by none other than Pulitzer Prize–winning author Michael Shaara. Yep, that Michael Shaara. Long before he won the big prize for The Killer Angels, he was cooking up sharp, clever science fiction. This gem comes straight out of the October 1956 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. Flip through the yellowed pages, land on page 59, and there it is, Man of Distinction by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Consider the poor mailman of the future. To "sleet and snow and dead of night"—things that must not keep him from his appointed rounds—will be added, sub-zero void, meteors, and planets that won't stay put. Maybe he'll decide that for six cents an ounce it just ain't worth it.

Thornwald had done his tour of duty for the Solar Service; now it was time for him to retire. But a life of relaxation would not be simple on—Bleekman's Planet by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you picked up the February 1957 issue of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy, you'd probably think today's story was written by Ivar Jorgensen. But here's the twist—it was actually written by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg. So why didn't they take credit for it?That issue contained six stories in total. Garrett's name was on The Time Snatcher—a story you may remember from an earlier episode of the podcast. And “Bob” Silverberg (not Robert, as the magazine listed him) was credited with Outcast of the Stars.But if you flip through that February 1957 issue, you'll also see a story titled The Incomplete Theft, which was indeed written by Garrett and Silverberg. Only, in the magazine, the author's name is given as Ralph Burke.So here's the wild part: out of six stories in that issue, four were actually written by Garrett and Silverberg!We will discover today's story on page 108, Bleekman's Planet by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Being unique is a matter of pride—but being a complete mathematical impossibility?

Instructional design isn't just about what learners know—it's about what they can do. In this episode, Dr. Karl Kapp discusses his new book, Action First Learning, and why engagement, application, and challenge are essential for lasting impact.  Show Notes: Karl Kapp challenges traditional instructional design methods and introduces ideas that inspire lasting behavior change from learners. His key takeaways include: Design for Application, Not Absorption: Action First Learning emphasizes giving learners opportunities to apply concepts right away. By focusing on real-world tasks and challenges from the start, training becomes more relevant, memorable, and impactful. Desirable Difficulties Improve Retention: Learning that feels too easy may not stick. Struggles—when designed well—lead to deeper understanding, stronger memory, and long-term performance. Reflection Is Essential for Learning: Without intentional reflection, learners may have experiences but miss the lessons. Instruction should include built-in prompts or creative methods to encourage personal reflection. Effective Learning Doesn't Require Expensive Tech: High-impact learning experiences can be created using simple tools like card games, role-plays, or branching scenarios. It's the design, not the delivery method, that matters most. Gamification Is Evolving—And So Should We: Today's most effective gamified learning emphasizes strategy, feedback, and motivation—not just points and badges. The future lies in designing experiences, not rewards. Read more from Dr. Karl Kapp Beyond Gamification: A Move Toward Action-First Learning (published by ATD)Action First Learning (plus Instructor's Guide, Learning Tools, and Coloring Page published by ATD) Actions Speak Louder than Words: Why Action First Learning is the Key to Real World Preparedness (Published in Training Industry) Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Peter Leithart, James Bejon, Alastair Roberts, and Jeff Meyers discuss Hebrews 9:22-28. Timestamps: 0:00 – Platonic terms: Why Hebrews draws on the language of Philo and others. Distinction between heavenly and earthly realms, similar to Plato's “intelligible” and “sensible” realms.The realm of ideas/forms accessed by intellect vs. the sensible world below as a copy of the higher realm. 4:00 – Plato's Cave. 7:20 – What Platonic terms doesn't Hebrews use? How should we think about the relationship between various forms of Platonism and Hebrews? Is there overlap, and if so, how much? 10:00 – Does the heavenly realm need purification? Jesus destroys the Platonic divide between material and immaterial. 12:30 – Are Platonic terms used only for rhetorical or conceptual leverage? 15:30 – Jesus enters heaven as one who shared our flesh and blood. Human ascent, not intellectual ascent. 17:45 – Does stressing Platonic parallels offer any exegetical payoff? 20:30 – Today's text: Why does heaven need cleansing? 28:50 – Blood taken into the holy place: “strange” or “alien” blood. 35:00 – The purpose of Leviticus and how Jesus fulfills it. 36:20 – Hebrews 9:26. 38:00 – Jesus reaches the end of human history. 40:40 – A puzzling analogy: the “second appearance” of Christ in v. 28.

Imagine one day waking up and being told to forget everything you had learned in school. Discovering that key industries in the economy had been eliminated. Learning that culture and history had been reset to year zero. And, worst of all learning that you and your friends and family were to be killed or sent to concentration camps. This is the horrific reality Dr. Sara Pol-Lim was faced with as a young girl in 1970s Cambodia. The regime of the time -- a Marxist inspired junta named the Khmer Rouge created what they viewed as a utopia but the civilized world recognized as a dystopia. What followed was the Cambodian genocide which cost the lives of millions. But what happens to those who survive such horrors? How do they move forward? How can they carry on and rebuild their loves in the shadow of unimaginable horror?  In her powerful new book "Coming to Terms with Historical Trauma: A Memoir," Sara bravely shares her story. It is a book that is both tragic and inspiring. In this episode, I speak with Sara about her story, her trauma, and what lessons we as a society can learn from such terrible events. Sara Pol-Lim's book is available from all major retailers including: Barnes & Noble Amazon Dr. Pol-Lim honors include: • “Woman of Distinction” Award from Assembly Member Patrick O'Donnell in 2015.  • Trail Blazer for Outstanding Leadership by 6th District Councilmember Dee Andrew 2014.  • Outstanding Leadership Award by the United States House of Representatives Congressman Alan Lowenthal 2014.  • 4th District Woman of the Year 2013 by Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe.  • Woman of Distinction 2012 by the Honorable Roderick Wright of the 25th Senatorial District.  • Hands Across the District Medal from the Assembly Member Warren Furutani 2012  • Outstanding Cambodian Leader given by Cambodian Town 2012.  • Selected as “Grand Marshall of the Cambodian New Year Parade 2011.  • The Gene Lentzner's “Human Relations” Award 2010 given by the California Conference for Equality and Justice, Long Beach.  • Selected as “Grand Marshall” of the Long Beach Martin Luther King Parade 2010.  • Woman Who Makes a Difference by the Long Beach NAACP 2009.  • Community Leader Award by Mentoring A Touch from Above in 2009.  • Extraordinary Woman Award by Voter Education & Research Action and presenting by Assemblyman Mervyn M.

This episode features an interview with Brenton Williamson, VP of Marketing at Bamboo HR, a company that empowers HR pros, employees, and organizations everywhere to simplify complicated processes and streamline time-consuming tasks.Brenton discusses how he thinks about creating distinction in the market, the diversification of marketing channels, and the value of digital engagement. Key Takeaways:Distinction is different from differentiation. Differentiation is product focused, while distinction has more to do with brand identity and feel. You need both. As organic search continues to take a hit, in-person events become an increasingly important tactic to get in front of customers. We're coming out of the inbound era and sales may need to get used to interacting with people who aren't actively in a buying motion, and building relationships over time. Episode Timestamps: *(04:29) The Trust Tree: Distinction, differentiation, diversification *(09:04) The Playbook: The end of the inbound era*(36:24) Quick Hits: Brenton's quick hitsSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

Pathfinder Church | August 10, 2025 | AJ MasticIn the USA, Christians often shy away from standing out. How could it be helpful to be seen as extreme or puritanical? Not to mention, those don't sound like much fun! And yet, is there more to be gained by being “strange” than we think? Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram | https://instagram.com/pathfinderstlSt. John School | https://stjls.orgContact Us | churchinfo@pathfinderstl.org

The sermon emphasizes the crucial link between spiritual well-being and submission to authority within a covenantal community, particularly through instruction and reproof. Drawing from Proverbs, it argues that true honor and long life stem from receiving guidance and accountability, which are absent in autonomous, disconnected Christian lives. The speaker contends that merely attending church or consuming sermons does not constitute genuine discipleship, highlighting the necessity of formal membership, covenantal relationships, and a willingness to be under the discipline of a church and its leadership for true spiritual growth and blessing.

The Thinking Fellows podcast breaks down C.F.W. Walther's classic work The Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel. This episode offers a brief introduction to Walther and explores why properly distinguishing between Law and Gospel is a vital task for every Christian preacher. Distinguishing Law and Gospel is one of the most difficult yet essential tasks of the Christian life. Command and promise are not merely theological slogans; they are the means by which God delivers faith and creates saints out of sinners.
