Could there be a better form of government than the one we have now? As we enter an AI-powered world, when might we choose an AI leader? Will your grandchildren ever vote for a human president, who comes with a political party & the weaknesses of a human, or will they vote for a system that has a jaw-dropping capacity to extract patterns from vast rivers of data, simulate millions of possible futures, & govern with a deeper wisdom than a human could naturally possess? Will we all have personal AI agents that know our strongest political opinions, such that we finally achieve (for the first time at scale) a direct democracy rather than a representative one? Join Eagleman as he explores the future of an AI leader (pros & cons) and where he thinks we’re inevitably heading.

“Elect exiles” is not a cute phrase, it's a diagnosis. We open 1 Peter with fresh eyes and realize Peter starts his letter to suffering Christians by telling them something most of us resist: you're scattered on purpose. If you've ever looked at your life and thought, why am I here, why is this hard, and did God forget me, Peter's first two verses give a gritty, hope-filled framework that can actually hold the weight of real pain.We unpack 1 Peter 1:1-2 and see the Trinity right on the surface: the Father's foreknowledge, the Spirit's sanctifying work, and obedience to Jesus Christ under the sprinkling of His blood. Then we chase the Bible's “seed” storyline into the word diaspora, not just “people scattered,” but seed spread across the earth for multiplication. That leads straight into identity: Christians as aliens and foreigners, planted in foreign soil to take root, grow, and bear fruit even in hostile environments.We also challenge modern definitions of grace, peace, and blessing. Peace is not just mental serenity; it's strength for obedience when suffering presses in. The Holy Spirit's filling is not meant to stop at spiritual experiences, but to empower mission, evangelism, and costly faithfulness. If you're tired, disoriented, or tempted to build your life around comfort, this conversation will push you and steady you at the same time.Subscribe for more Bible-driven conversations, share this with a friend who feels scattered, and leave a review with the hardest part of obedience you're facing right now.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

California is one of the most Democratic states in the nation. But former Fox News host and British American Steve Hilton is mounting a long-shot bid to be the state's next Republican governor. He's banking on voters' disaffection with the state's notoriously high cost of living to beat Democrat Xavier Becerra in November.  While Hilton scored President Trump's endorsement ahead of the primary, he'll need to win over a lot of Democrats and Independents who loathe Trump to have any shot at winning. Is that even possible for a Republican in 2026?    Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or find us on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and Bluesky @onwithkaraswisher.

How am I Holy or Elect if I'm an Exile? (1 Peter 1.1-21) 08/09/26 by OrlandoGrace

Te compras un coche eléctrico para ahorrar y, cuando llega el momento de cambiar las ruedas, te llevas el susto de tu vida. Es ahí cuando te intentan vender la idea de que necesitas gomas especiales porque las normales "no aguantan". Hoy vamos a desmontar el marketing de los neumáticos específicos para vehículos eléctricos y a destapar la gran mentira de su duración. Cuando vas al taller, te encuentras con siglas nuevas como HL, marcajes EV, Elect, Enliten o iON, acompañados de un precio que, de media, es un 20 o 30 por ciento superior al de un neumático equivalente para un coche térmico. La industria afirma que los eléctricos son especiales, pero la física es la misma de siempre. Lo que ocurre en realidad es que estamos usando el neumático para tapar las vergüenzas de unos coches que han nacido con un grave problema de sobrepeso y un carácter demasiado brusco. El pecado original es el peso. Un coche eléctrico pesa, de media, entre 400 y 600 kilos más que su equivalente de gasolina. Para soportar esa masa en los nuevos SUVs eléctricos de dos toneladas y media, el índice de carga clásico se quedó corto y la industria inventó el código HL (High Load), capaz de soportar un 10 por ciento más de peso. No es tecnología aeroespacial; está más cerca de un camión, ya que consiste simplemente en añadir más lonas y refuerzos de acero en la estructura para soportar el exceso de peso. El otro gran argumento es el par motor instantáneo que desgasta las ruedas. Para evitar que el neumático se desintegre en 10.000 kilómetros, los fabricantes usan compuestos de goma más duros en la banda de rodadura. El problema es que la goma dura agarra menos en mojado, obligándoles a inventar resinas caras y dibujos complejos para compensar. Al final, pagas más por una rueda que intenta solucionar dos cosas contradictorias: durar mucho y agarrar mucho en un coche demasiado pesado. A esto se suma el desafío del silencio. Al no haber ruido de motor térmico, el zumbido de la rodadura se vuelve insoportable. Para solucionarlo, marcas como Michelin o Continental pegan una tira de espuma de poliuretano dentro del neumático que reduce el ruido interior. Es una solución elegante que encarece el producto y que, además, complica la reparación de los pinchazos en muchos talleres. Pero la verdadera trampa está en la autonomía. Te prometen un 10 por ciento más de rango gracias a una menor resistencia a la rodadura. Sin embargo, para lograr que los bloques de la goma no se muevan y gasten energía, muchos de estos neumáticos "eco" vienen de fábrica con solo 6 milímetros de profundidad de dibujo en lugar de los 8 milímetros tradicionales. Te están vendiendo un neumático con un 25 por ciento menos de vida útil antes de llegar al testigo legal de desgaste. En resumen, los cinco pecados del neumático eléctrico se concentran en el aislamiento acústico forzado, el desgaste prematuro por el par motor, las carcasas pesadas de tipo industrial, el sobrecoste del marcaje EV y la pérdida de profundidad de dibujo. Este producto es un 70 por ciento una necesidad física por el exceso de peso de las baterías y un 30 por ciento una oportunidad de oro para que las marcas recuperen sus márgenes de beneficio. Si respetas los índices de carga y velocidad que exige la ficha técnica de tu coche, no siempre necesitas pasar por el aro del marketing EV.

Reports say President Donald Trump privately told donors that he wants Vice President JD Vance to win the 2028 presidential election, offering one of the clearest indications yet that he may view Vance as his preferred successor. President Donald Trump signed two new executive orders on Aug. 6, 2026, aimed at restricting aspects of birthright citizenship and ending what the administration calls "birth tourism." The actions come after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an earlier Trump effort to broadly limit birthright citizenship protections under the 14th Amendment.

A handful of radicals can reshape an entire country if everyone else lets them. Abdul El-Sayed represents the next generation of politicians pushing ideas that were once considered politically toxic—and they're gaining ground. Jesse Kelly explains why America's biggest threat isn't how many people embrace these ideas, but how aggressively they're being promoted.

It's Thursday, August 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Algerian, African church going underground The Protestant church in Algeria is going underground.  The Muslim-majority country is located in North Africa. Authorities there have shut down nearly all Evangelical churches over the past decade. Many Christians now meet secretly in homes.  One Algerian pastor told Morning Star News, “The situation is undeniably difficult because we are deprived of fellowship. But God's work must not stop. We desperately lack Bibles and Christian books, as customs officials systematically confiscate them even when friends bring them from the West.” Algeria is ranked 20th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the worst countries for the persecution of Christians.  British soldiers are asking about Christ Faith is increasing in the British military.  Army chaplains report more recruits are asking about Christianity, attending services, and requesting baptism. Dr. Martin Gliniecki is the executive director of the Soldiers' and Aviators' Scripture Readers Association. He told Christian Today, “We have prayed for revival in our nation for many years now and … revival in our Armed Forces too. Something is happening. While our Armed Forces are the smallest in modern history, the harvest remains plentiful.” In Luke 10:2, Jesus said, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” British millionaire stands up for persecuted street preachers A British millionaire is standing up for persecuted street preachers. Businessman Samuel Leeds has pledged to fund the legal representation of Christian street preachers who are targeted by police.  He told Truth Times, “We see Christians being persecuted all over the world, but seeing it happen in Great Britain — seeing the disdain, the hatred, and now the oppression of Christian voices — really bothers me. … Where Christians are being unfairly targeted simply for preaching their faith, I'm prepared to put my money behind defending them.” Amen! Democrat primary voters elect another leftist The left wing of the Democratic Party continues to win election primaries. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, whose parents came to America from Egypt, won the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan on Tuesday.  The 41-year-old is an epidemiologist who received his Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University, served as director of the Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services of Wayne County, Michigan, from 2023 to 2025, and was a candidate in the 2018 Michigan gubernatorial election. EL-SAYED: “What a race! You know, in the words of Muhammad Ali, we shook up the world!” Endorsed by socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, among other leftists, he narrowly defeated Congresswoman Haley Stevens, a pro-Israel moderate Democrat. Remarkably, super PACs, political action committees, spent $60 million on the race, supporting Stevens 9-1. El-Sayed champions the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement known as ICE, ending most U.S. military aid to Israel, and wants a universal, government-funded health insurance program that covers everyone. If you take the time to watch his 19-minute victory speech, which we have linked in our transcript at www.TheWorldview.com, you will notice he is an articulate spokesman for his cause. EL-SAYED: “So, whether you voted for me or voted for my opponent or didn't vote at all, we're inviting you to that movement to get money out of politics, so we can put money back in pockets, and finally guarantee the promise of health care through Medicare for All.” If elected in November, Abdul El-Sayed would be the first Muslim in the Senate.  Democrats are moving left The views of Democrats are shifting further to the left. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found 71 percent of Democrats label themselves as liberal. That's up from 55 percent in 2012.  Most liberal Democrats identify certain positions as essential to being a liberal. These include increasing taxes on corporations and billionaires, expanding access to abortion, and government provided healthcare coverage.  In Romans 13:4, the Apostle Paul identified different priorities for government: “For [a ruler] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” Amazon hits $3 trillion in market value Amazon became the fifth company to reach $3 trillion dollars in market value on Monday.  The tech company saw growth in its cloud-computing services as demand for Artificial Intelligence surges. Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Nvidia are the other companies that have reached a market value of $3 trillion dollars in the past.  Doctors successfully operated on baby in the womb And finally, doctors successfully operated on a baby while still in the womb. Baby Theo was diagnosed with a severe intestinal defect in the womb. Indeed, his intestines were completely outside his body.  Such cases can require many surgeries after birth, and babies do not always survive. Parents Maisie Savage and Josh French live in London. They were referred to a clinical trial at Texas Children's Hospital.  At 26 weeks of pregnancy, surgeons conducted the groundbreaking operation. It's the first surgery of its kind in the U.S.  Praise God! Baby Theo was born full-term in February. Josh recently told Good Morning America that Theo is thriving.   Listen. JOSH: “He's doing all the things that a normal, healthy baby should be doing. He's shouting. He's screaming. He blows raspberries. It's just fantastic having him home.” Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him."

Full Text of Readings Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord Lectionary: 614 The Saint of the day is Transfiguration of the Lord The Story of the Transfiguration of the Lord All three Synoptic Gospels tell the story of the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-9; Luke 9:28-36). With remarkable agreement, all three place the event shortly after Peter's confession of faith that Jesus is the Messiah and Jesus' first prediction of his passion and death. Peter's eagerness to erect tents or booths on the spot suggests it occurred during the week-long Jewish Feast of Booths in the fall. According to Scripture scholars, in spite of the texts' agreement it is difficult to reconstruct the disciples' experience, because the Gospels draw heavily on Old Testament descriptions of the Sinai encounter with God, and prophetic visions of the Son of Man. Certainly Peter, James, and John had a glimpse of Jesus' divinity strong enough to strike fear into their hearts. Such an experience defies description, so they drew on familiar religious language to describe it. And certainly Jesus warned them that his glory and his suffering were to be inextricably connected—a theme John highlights throughout his Gospel. Tradition names Mount Tabor as the site of the revelation. A church first raised there in the fourth century was dedicated on August 6. A feast in honor of the Transfiguration was celebrated in the Eastern Church from about that time. Western observance began in some localities about the eighth century. On July 22, 1456, Crusaders defeated the Turks at Belgrade. News of the victory reached Rome on August 6, and Pope Callistus III placed the feast on the Roman calendar the following year. Reflection One of the Transfiguration accounts is read on the second Sunday of Lent each year, proclaiming Christ's divinity to the Elect and baptized alike. The Gospel for the first Sunday of Lent, by contrast, is the story of the temptation in the desert—affirmation of Jesus' humanity. The two distinct but inseparable natures of the Lord were a subject of much theological argument at the beginning of the Church's history; it remains hard for believers to grasp.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Kansas voters will be deciding Tuesday on who'll be selecting the state's Supreme Court justices. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Colossians 3:13-14 It is a joy to return to our study of Colossians, especially as this week we get to finish what we started last week. So Colossians 3:12, we'll start there, read, review, and carry on. Colossians 3:12, “So as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and graciously forgiving each other. Whoever has a complaint against anyone, just as the Lord graciously forgave

If approved by Kansas voters in the Aug. 4 election, the constitutional amendment would abolish the current merit-based nominating process for Supreme Court justices that has been in place since 1958. While supporters argue the change would rid the system of elitism, opponents say it will allow money to influence court decisions.

In this episode of A Conversation in Veterinary Pathology - the A.C.V.P. Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Anne Provencher, the 2026 president of the American College of Veterinary Pathology.

Does mental health treatment work the same for everyone? The answer is more complicated than many people realize. In this episode, host Gabe Howard is joined by Stephanie Robertson, J.D., Director of Mental Health Equity at NAMI, and Dr. Nicole Washington, psychiatrist and President-Elect of the Black Psychiatrists of America, for an honest conversation about mental health equity, cultural identity, and why representation matters in behavioral health. Rather than focusing on politics, this conversation centers on practical realities: how clinicians can better understand the people they serve, why patients deserve care that reflects their experiences, and how open conversations can reduce stigma while improving access to treatment.  Listeners Will Learn: How implicit bias can affect healthcare decisions even when providers have good intentions Why mental health equity means providing care that meets people's unique needs—not simply providing identical care for everyone Why difficult conversations about mental health, culture, and bias are necessary to improve outcomes Why representation helps people feel understood, respected, and more willing to seek treatment If you've ever wondered why diversity in mental health care matters—or how to achieve it—this episode explores why increasing diversity among mental health professionals isn't just about representation; it's about improving care, expanding access, and creating a mental health system that works better for everyone.  Cold Open Transcript: “Being misdiagnosed happens so often to people of color, to women. It's about understanding what people have experienced throughout their lives, not just because of being a person, but because of being a black person, because of being a woman, because of growing up in a large family, because of growing up in the South. You know, there are just things that are culturally and/or the nuances of how you grew up and what you were exposed to makes such a difference.” ~Stephanie Robertson, Director of Mental Health Equity at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Our guest, Stephanie Robertson, is the Director of Mental Health Equity at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), where she advances access to community-informed and culturally responsive mental health care. She partners with the NAMI Alliance and community-based organizations to address structural barriers to equitable care. Stephanie holds a BA from Duke University and a JD from Georgetown University Law Center. Her professional background spans corporate law, higher education, and diversity, equity, and inclusion leadership. Outside of work, she enjoys jogging, crafting handmade jewelry, and spending time with her mini Goldendoodle, Indie. Our guest, Dr. Nicole Washington, is an ABMS board certified psychiatrist and the Chief Medical Officer of Elocin Psychiatric Services, a primarily virtual practice where she focuses on the mental health needs of women and the busy professional. Dr. Washington also serves as President-Elect of the Black Psychiatrists of America, Inc. Dr. Washington has spent most of her career caring and advocating for people who aren't typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities and high-performing professionals. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

Colossians 3:12 Well, we are working our way through Paul's letter to the Colossians in our study of God's Word and we are in the third chapter, Colossians 3, verse 12, and you'll want to turn there in your Bibles, Colossians 3:12. The past two weeks that we've been in the study of Colossians, I would just say admittedly, I think they have been unpleasant. Unpleasant two weeks in the text as we've studied two vice lists and we've seen

Today we have the dramatic chapter 24 in Matthew to read – about the climax Jesus said would come on the Jews and then on the  world because of utter godlessness. Much of what we read has two Time periods, first to the Jewish people because they had not recognised their Messiah – and had killed him – and then on the world as a whole. The message of Christ to the Jews after “being proclaimed … as a testimony to all nations” [v.14] had, as Jesus predicted, become corrupted “for false Christs and false prophets will arise … to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”[v.24]Just as “there will be great tribulation”  – and was – at the end of the Jewish nation, “such as has not been from the beginning of the world … And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved.”  [v. 21, 22] And so it was at the end of the Jewish age with the destruction of the Temple by Rome in AD 70. Back to the words of Jesus, some wonderful words that – at that time  ‘they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory', 'he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds …” [v.30,31] out of “the great tribulation.”These words of Jesus are very familiar to most of us – maybe too familiar!  Is there a possibility our “hearts have grown dull” [ch. 13 v.15] as we read last week?  Surely all the present troubles in the Middle East centred in and around God's regathered people should be making us think – and become as mentally prepared as possible, for, said Jesus, ”concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, not the Son, but the Father only…  For as in those days before the flood  they were eating and drinking, marrying … they were unaware until the flood came … so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” [v.36,37]Our chapter ends with a telling parable about servants not being ready for the return of the Master, but says Jesus, “blessed is the servant whom his Master will find so doing”[v.46] when the angels are sent forth to “gather his elect.”   Are you a servant who has responded to the Master's call?  May you and I be in that situation and be found to be among those who are seen as “faithful and wise.” [v.45]

In its nearly 180-year history, the American Medical Association has committed to being "a physicians’ powerful ally in patient care." Whether in the operating room or the halls of Congress, the AMA says its mission is to remove obstacles and take the lead for the betterment of public health. Soon, leading the AMA will become the responsibility of a board-certified physician who has many ties to Atlanta. On this edition of Closer Look, Atlanta Internist Dr. Sandra Fryhofer talks about how changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under current U.S Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is detrimental to the nation's top public health agency. Plus, Dr. Fryhofer speaks to specific issues the AMA addresses including Medicaid and Medicare, Artificial Intelligence in healthcare, physician shortages and combating mis-health-information. Guest: Atlanta Internist Dr. Sandra Fryhofer, President-Elect of the American Medical Association. Just over 70 years ago, the polio epidemic was at its height in the United States. Cases averaged at about 45,000 each year...until Doctor Jones Salk led the development of a vaccine. Although Salk's was the first polio vaccine, Dr. Albert Sabin in the 1960's developed an oral vaccine which would replace Salk’s. Another difference was Salk's vaccine contained a killed virus and Sabin's a live virus to combat the disease. Now comes a new biography detailing much more about Dr. Sabin. "Albert Sabin: The Life of a Polio Vaccine Pioneer" is authored by an epidemiologist and Global Health Chronicles oral historian who worked for more than 25 years at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

What happens behind the sealed doors of a biocontainment laboratory when a patient with a suspected special pathogen—like Ebola or Lassa fever—arrives at a hospital? In this episode of Transmission Interrupted, host Jill Morgan is joined by Vicki Herrera, biocontainment laboratory training and education leader at UNMC, and Colleen Kraft, medical and laboratory director of Emory's Biocontainment Unit. Together, they break down the critical question: what are “basic labs,” and how can frontline healthcare facilities prepare to deliver essential diagnostics safely during a special pathogen event?Listen in as Jill, Vicki, and Colleen demystify the realities of emergency lab testing, exploring the tension between the rapid results clinicians want and the vital safety measures laboratorians must uphold. They discuss point-of-care devices, the nuances of risk assessments, and the keys to interdepartmental communication that ensure both effective patient care and laboratory safety. Whether you're a bedside nurse, an ED provider, or a laboratorian, this candid, practical conversation will help you understand how healthcare teams can work together to deliver safe and swift care—even in the face of emerging infectious threats.Questions or comments for NETEC?

If approved by voters on Aug. 4, Amendment 2 would change the Missouri Constitution to require that Jackson County elect its assessor. County residents already voted to make the role an elected position, rather than one appointed by the county executive, after years of outrage over property tax valuations.

Being an AT in Florida offers many opportunities. Dr. Pradeep Vanguri joins Ben Stephenson and Jeremy Jackson to share what being an AT in Florida is like. Leadership in the Sunshine State: Dr. Pradeep Vanguri on the Future of Athletic Training in Florida Jeremy Jackson and Ben Stevenson welcome Dr. Pradeep Vanguri, President of the Athletic Trainers Association of Florida (ATAF), to the Sports Medicine broadcast podcast to discuss the professional landscape in Florida. Dr. Vanguri shares his personal journey and outlines the crucial initiatives shaping athletic training across the 67 counties of Florida. Dr. Vanguri’s interest in sports medicine began in high school in North Carolina, but his decision to become an athletic trainer was cemented in college at East Carolina University after realizing he preferred being on the sideline with teams over working in a clinic or hospital setting. He eventually moved to the state of Florida, where his focus on service led him to the ATAF. His leadership journey within the Athletic Trainers Association of Florida includes: Serving as the Education Committee Chair for approximately six years. Serving as Secretary for three years. Serving as Vice President and then President-Elect. Currently, he is in his third year of a three-year term as ATAF President, guiding the profession in Florida. The Athletic Trainer Landscape in Florida Dr. Vanguri emphasizes that the core strength of athletic training in Florida is its people—the dedicated clinicians and the close-knit professional community. The state offers numerous settings for athletic trainers, including industrial, college/university, secondary school, and professional teams like the Miami Dolphins, Panthers, and Inter Miami. The state also provides excellent opportunities for new and seasoned athletic trainers to continue their practice through collaboration, mentorship, and access to research from academic programs. A common issue is the lack of full-time coverage and a high rate of turnover for athletic trainers across the 67 counties. The ATAF’s goal is to recruit talent to Florida and work to ensure they stay by focusing on appropriate coverage, quality of life, and compensatory salary and benefits. Medical systems across major regions of Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and the Panhandle, are supporting these efforts. Dr. Vanguri detailed three major initiatives he is championing during his tenure as President in Florida: Loan Reimbursement Inclusion: Working to include athletic trainers in an existing state loan reimbursement program for rural assistance, which is centered within the Florida Department of Health, without asking for an increase in overall program funding. Third-Party Reimbursement: A critical effort to quantify the value of athletic trainers and establish them as licensed medical professionals who deserve a “seat at the table” in the broader medical community. The ATAF is focused on supporting entities with a strong medical system infrastructure in Florida that can handle the billing. CPR and AED Initiative: Working to help the general public understand the importance of layperson CPR and addressing the lack of interest in helping a victim due to the fear of legal retribution. Why Athletic Trainers Should Choose Florida Dr. Vanguri's sales pitch for the state of Florida centers on its people. He urges athletic trainers to move to Florida for the opportunity to connect with individuals making a difference, as well as for the mentorship, research opportunities, and clinical growth provided by the state's top-notch athletic trainers and supportive medical systems. While the sunshine and alligators are a perk, the central reason to come and stay in Florida is the robust professional community and the emphasis on work-life balance. The Athletic Trainers Association of Florida annual meeting is scheduled for July 10th to 12th in Orlando, Florida.

0:00 - Supposedly, President Trump got involved in the process of appealing Balogun's red card. Some sources claim he assembled a task force to speak with FIFA. Brett said it's crazy that a US President actually got involved in professional sports meddling. Republican, Democrat, doesn't matter. More Presidents should us their power to influence sport outcomes. If Brett was president, how could he abuse his power to help Denver teams?15:30 - Rich Paul grabbed a white board, sat down with Max Kellerman, and drew a whole web of possible destinations for LeBron, complete with Pros and Cons. Let's make our list. What are the Pros of coming to Denver? What are the Cons of the other places LeBron is eyeing?31:00 - USA is playing Belgium in World Cup action tonight. Hey, wait a second...what day of the week is it?...what do they call "soccer" everywhere else in the world?...that means it's time...FOR MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, BABY! WE ARE SO BACK! Those waffle eaters don't stand a chance.

Non-qualified deferred compensation could be one of the most valuable benefits you're not using.In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, we break down NQDC — a powerful but often overlooked benefit available to executives and high earners at many public companies.

What happens when centuries of theology obscure the simplicity of God's Word? Lay aside philosophical systems and let Scripture define election, predestination, and foreknowledge on its own terms. Rejoice that your assurance rests in faith alone in Christ alone, not in your works or perseverance.

In this two-hour roundtable recorded at a global airway, breathing, and sleep conference, Howard Farran sits down with three of the field's most passionate voices: Dr. Toshi Hart, Diplomate and President-Elect of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy; Dr. Kimberly Ann Meyer, current President of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain; and Dr. Mark Levi, a Sydney-based diplomate who turned his own severe sleep apnea diagnosis into a career treating children. The conversation centers on a provocative idea: that the malocclusion, crowded teeth, and breathing problems flooding modern dental practices stem from generations of underdeveloped jaws — driven by softer diets, less nursing, and mouth breathing. Dr. Hart shares how a single 45-minute lecture on craniofacial epigenetics redirected her career, leading to a study in which guided growth appliances produced a 76% reduction in decay. Dr. Levi makes the case for early intervention in children as young as three, explaining why the window to influence facial growth closes far earlier than most clinicians realize. Dr. Meyer connects the dots between nasal breathing, nitric oxide, tongue posture, tonsils and adenoids, and the cascade of downstream effects on sleep, behavior, and long-term health. Along the way, the group tackles the fierce professional pushback they face, why mothers — not journals — are driving change, the relationship between bruxism, airway, and even implant failure, and how a single-chair, drill-free practice can outperform a traditional one. The episode closes with practical guidance for young dentists on where to begin, why education matters more than expensive machinery, and how building thriving children builds a thriving practice.   Episode #1709 : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran, Howard sits down with a powerhouse airway roundtable — Dr. Toshi Hart, Dr. Kimberly Ann Meyer, and Dr. Mark Levi — three leaders changing how dentistry thinks about jaw development, breathing, and sleep. From why 80% of kids have underdeveloped jaws, to a 76% reduction in decay through early intervention, to the pushback these "myofunctional quacks" proudly embrace — this is a candid, eye-opening conversation about treating the root cause, not just the cavity.

This week we welcome American Association of Law Libraries leaders Jenny Foster, AALL President for 2025-2026, and Jessica Whytock, AALL Vice President and President-Elect. The conversation offers a preview of the 2026 AALL Annual Meeting & Conference in Cleveland, Ohio, along with a thoughtful look at how the association is supporting legal information professionals during a period of institutional, technological, and professional change.Foster reflects on a leadership year focused on transparency, communication, and meaningful opportunities for member participation. From strengthening channels between members and AALL leadership to intentional volunteer appointments across committees and juries, she describes an association built through relationships. The goal is to ensure newer, mid-career, and seasoned law librarians all have a visible place in shaping the profession's future.Advocacy also plays a central role in the discussion. Foster explains how AALL continues its work on access to legal information, public policy, and coalition-building, even amid staffing transitions. The association's Government Relations Committee has continued meeting with members, offering advocacy training, rebuilding connections with peer organizations, and aligning its work with AALL's strategic priorities. For law librarians, advocacy is both a long-term commitment and a practical responsibility tied to preserving authoritative legal information.The 2026 conference theme, “Leading with Aloha,” gives the Cleveland meeting its distinct point of view. Foster shares how aloha, rooted in kindness, unity, humility, patience, and meaningful connection, became a framework for leadership during uncertain times. More than 65 programs will explore topics ranging from generative AI and legal scholarship to physical collection strategy, access challenges, and the changing role of legal information professionals. Local programming connected to Cleveland's history will bring an added sense of place to the gathering.Whytock looks ahead to her upcoming presidency with a focus on clear pathways for engagement, leadership, grants, scholarships, committee service, and professional growth. Both leaders see artificial intelligence as a catalyst for a deeper conversation about the identity and value of legal information professionals. Their message is straightforward: the future of law librarianship rests in human judgment, critical thinking, ethical discernment, context, access, and a community willing to bring more voices into the room. The 2026 AALL Annual Meeting in Cleveland offers a place for those conversations to move from aspiration into action.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Substack⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript:
