It's Monday, August 17th, 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 Adam McManus U.S. missionary freed after 9 months captivity from Niger, Africa On August 14th, Kevin Rideout, a 50-year-old American missionary who was kidnapped in Niger, Africa last October, was released and will be reunited with his extended family, reports ABC News. According to Serving In Mission International, an evangelical mission agency which works in 70 countries, 98% of the population in Niger is Muslim. The mission group said Rideout is “in good health in the care of U.S. officials” and that his wife, Krista, and the rest of his family “are profoundly grateful for the prayers offered on their behalf by people around the world throughout his captivity.” Psalm 135:3 says, "Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good.” Rideout was kidnapped outside his home in Niamey, Niger on October 21, 2025 by three gunmen.  Christian persecution has especially increased in Niger, Africa since 2023 after a military coup led by General Omar Tiani, head of the presidential guard unit, deposing democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum.  After that coup, Niger's new military regime switched its alliances, choosing to start working with Russia and turning against Western allies. Indeed, the new regime ousted Western partners On Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote, “I am proud to announce that Kevin Rideout, a wonderful Christian missionary, is back in United States custody. Kevin was kidnapped by Jihadi terrorists in West Africa — the epicenter of Islamist terrorism, where there have been more deadly attacks in the past year than anywhere else on Earth. Kevin, the United States of America looks forward to welcoming you HOME. Glad to have helped!” The full details surrounding Rideout's release are unclear. According to the Christian Broadcasting Network, the news comes the same week as the U.S. secured the release of another American, Robert Gilman, who had been held captive by Russia for four years. Gilman's health was failing in prison, and the U.S. and his family said he had been falsely accused and held by the Russian regime for political purposes. Earthquake hit Indonesia A magnitude 7.7 earthquake shook eastern Indonesia early Saturday, killing at least five people and touching off dozens of aftershocks, one measuring magnitude 6.1, reports the Christian Post. Flores island's Sikka Regency, which is part of East Nusa Tenggara Province, was the most affected area, where officials reported the earthquake's five deaths and several injuries. (Sikka Regency is a coastal district on the northeastern shore of Flores with a population of 346,000 spread over 647 square miles.) This Indonesian earthquake comes on the heels of an earthquake in Columbia on August 10th which killed 288 people and another earthquake in Venezuela on June 24th which killed 6,125 people. Please pray that God would comfort the families whose loved ones were killed in these three natural disasters. Dressed as Muslim, James O'Keefe exposes how MN enables voter fraud Investigative reporter James O'Keefe with the O'Keefe Media Group has exposed how Minnesota enables voter fraud by allowing registered voters to “vouch” for up to eight people living in the same precinct who are not registered to vote, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Dressed as a Muslim and accompanied by Cam Higby, who wore a burka, O'Keefe visited polls across Minneapolis and “presented an intentionally extreme scenario to expose the sheer lunacy of Minnesota's ‘vouching' system,” he explained on X.  O'KEEFE: “In Minnesota, you can show up on election day and vouch for up to eight unregistered voters. Members of the Justice League dress up in traditional Muslim attire and put this vouching law to an extreme test on primary day, August 11.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “The vouching?” POLL WORKER: “They're vouching for you?” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “I vouch for them.” POLL WORKER: “Oh.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Is that okay?” POLL WORKER: “Yes!” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “How does that work?” POLL WORKER: “Well, if you're all in the same precinct.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Yes.” POLL WORKER: “And you are already registered, which looks like you are, then you, you can vouch for them, as ID for them.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Oh, good.” KEEFE: “I say they do not need ID. She says, ‘You are the ID.' ANOTHER UNDERCOVER PERSON: “He is the ID.” KEEFE: “I am the ID.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “And no ID needed. I just vouch for them.” POLL WORKER: “You're the ID.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “I am the ID. That's good. How many people may I vouch for?” POLL WORKER: “Eight.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Eight? I can vouch for eight people?” POLL WORKER: “Mm-mm.” (Nodding affirmatively) UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Eight people. No ID. We come right back. Thank you.” Poll workers explained to him “again and again” that the people accompanying him did not need to present ID to vote as long as he vouched for them and that he could vouch for up to eight precinct residents. O'Keefe explained that this is all legal in the state, citing Minnesota Statute § 201.061 which says, “A registered voter can sign an affidavit affirming that they know another individual resides in the same precinct, allowing that person to register at the polls without presenting standard proof of residence. One registered voter can vouch for up to eight people.” Liberty Counsel urges President Trump to end mail-order abortion And finally, Liberty Counsel Action sent a letter to President Donald Trump and senior federal officials urging the administration to reverse the Biden-era policy of allowing mail-order abortion. The letter is an advocacy measure stating Abortion Kill Pills prescribed through the mail, without an in-person medical visit, endangers women, weakens state pro-life protections, and strips numerous other health and safety measures, the group explained. Under Biden, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration removed the requirement for an in-person clinic visit for the prescription of abortion pills, and the Department of Justice nullified enforcement of the federal Comstock Act of 1873, allowing abortion drugs to be sent through the mail. Since the removal of in-person visits and unfettered mail-order access, data shows the rate of severe complications from chemical abortions, between 2017 and 2023, rose by 13 percent. In his Faith and Freedom podcast, Liberty Counsel President Mat Staver said this. STAVER: “You can get these abortion drugs tele-med without ever seeing a doctor. Used to be that you needed to see a doctor at the very beginning, then you would get the prescription. Then, if you took the drug, you had to see a doctor as a follow-up because you could have complications. Now, there's no in-person visit before or after, and you can get this by tele-med. So, it's become very dangerous.” Liberty Counsel Action recommended “the immediate revocation of the Biden-era policy permitting the mailing of abortifacient drugs, whether by restoring the FDA's pre-Biden abortion pill safety protocols, enforcing of the Comstock Act, or both.” President Trump has previously declared that the states must determine their own abortion laws. In the letter, Liberty Counsel Action also advocated for that stated position noting that “abortion policy should be left to the states,” and pro-life state laws should not be “undermined by out-of-state providers illegally mailing abortion drugs across state lines.” The current policy has “stripped away vital safeguards” leading to numerous health risks, such as:  An inability to verify gestational age whereby pills can be dispensed beyond the FDA's 10-week gestational limit where complications are significantly higher. An inability to effectively diagnose ectopic pregnancies that can easily be mistaken as the effects of the abortion pill, which left untreated, could lead to maternal death. An inability to verify age, leading to potential abuse of minors and violations of parental rights. An inability to detect forced or coerced abortions from abusive partners, traffickers, or family members. Beyond the potential harm to the mothers, the Abortion Kill Pill, which is now used in at least 63% of all abortions, takes the life of the innocent baby. Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter." Send a polite, 3-sentence letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche, urging him to prohibit the abortion industry from sending the dangerous Abortion Kill Pills in the mail. The address at the Justice Department is 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20530. You can find that address in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

In "How Nordian's Platform Enables Long-Haul Autonomy", Joe Lynch speaks with Co-founder and CEO of Nordian, Michael Schramm, about how Nordian enables long-haul autonomy by combining precise positioning, satellite connectivity, and edge intelligence into a single platform. About Michael Schramm Michael Schramm is Co-founder and CEO of Nordian, the positioning and connectivity platform for Physical AI, delivering centimeter-level GNSS corrections, satellite connectivity, and fleet lifecycle management to some of the largest industrial OEMs in the Americas. A serial entrepreneur with 15+ years of executive leadership, he is a founding partner of Ambush, an applied AI engineering firm; co-founder of Echo54, an advanced sensing R&D company serving US and allied government agencies; and founder of GOAT, an acquired consumer micro-mobility company. Across nearly two decades of building companies that operate in the physical world, he kept running into the same failure point: machines break when positioning and connectivity aren't engineered as one system. Nordian exists to fix that. About Nordian Nordian is the positioning and connectivity platform for Physical AI. One platform delivers centimeter-level GNSS corrections, integrated satellite connectivity, and fleet lifecycle management to industrial OEMs across transportation, agriculture, and mining. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, and deliberately launched in the hardest environments on Earth, Nordian built South America's largest PPP-RTK network, and its platform serves 80% of the region's 20 largest agricultural OEMs. Proven where networks fail and machines can't, Nordian is now expanding globally to power autonomous operations at scale. Key Takeaways: How Nordian's Platform Enables Long-Haul Autonomy In "How Nordian's Platform Enables Long-Haul Autonomy", Joe Lynch speaks with Co-founder and CEO of Nordian, Michael Schramm, about how Nordian enables long-haul autonomy by combining precise positioning, satellite connectivity, and edge intelligence into a single platform. Physical AI is a Connectivity and Processing Challenge, Not an AI Model Problem: Current AI systems are fully capable of handling autonomous navigation, but real-world physical AI is constrained by connectivity and real-time processing capabilities. Offloading critical decisions to back-end cloud servers introduces latency, which is dangerous for heavy machinery like a 25-ton autonomous truck moving at highway speeds. Edge Computing and Local Inference Eliminate Deadly Latency: To operate safely without reliance on uninterrupted internet access, 100% of mission-critical decisions must occur directly on the device using edge computing. Nordian provides the local processing capacity needed for real-time inference, allowing autonomous vehicles, drones, and heavy equipment to operate safely in "air-gapped" environments or during brief network dropouts. Centimeter-Level Positioning Replaces Imprecise Traditional GPS: Standard GPS provides meter-level accuracy, which is acceptable for route navigation but unacceptable for vehicle control, lane-level autonomous driving, precise geofencing, or row-crop agriculture. By combining satellite signals with dedicated ground reference stations to calculate real-time differential corrections, Nordian achieves centimeter-level accuracy required for absolute control. Integration Burden is the Primary Bottleneck for OEMs: Equipment manufacturers historically acted as their own integrators—trying to bolt together separate vendors for chipsets, satellite bands, cellular modems, and edge computing. Nordian abstracts this complexity by unifying precise positioning, resilient connectivity, and edge intelligence into a single plug-and-play factory-installed package with an SDK for custom software development. A Multi-Band "N+3" Connectivity Model Bridges the Connectivity Gap: Autonomy dies where cellular coverage fails, particularly across the 71% of U.S. roadways located in rural environments. Nordian solves the connectivity gap by layering cellular networks, L-band communications, and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations (including integrated Starlink connectivity) into a redundant system capable of rapid sub-10-second signal convergence. Agricultural Battle-Testing Translates Directly to Transportation and Logistics: Before expanding into long-haul trucking and yard logistics, Nordian proved its system in South America's harsh agricultural environments, building a massive reference station network across Brazil and Argentina. This foundation enabled them to capture 80% of the top 20 agricultural OEMs in the region—proving the technology where infrastructure is non-existent and atmospheric interference (scintillation) is severe. Autonomous Technology Target Long-Haul Workloads to Improve Quality of Life: Autonomous technology is positioned to address structural labor shortages by replacing high-turnover, long-haul routes (where drivers are away from home for weeks) with fully autonomous systems or human-augmented modes. This shifts human operators toward last-mile and short-haul jobs, improving driver safety, operational utilization, and overall work-life balance.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/gTqs4SevC8UIn Episode 269 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris explains why repetition is a key driver of long-term success after being told he's “too repetitive.” He argues that breakthroughs and “overnight success” are usually the result of hundreds or thousands of repeated actions, and that long-term success is created by repetition rather than intensity. Chris outlines how repetition builds strong foundations, develops skills and confidence, removes decision fatigue by reducing constant reinvention, and creates a compounding effect over time. He also notes repetition can feel slow in an instant-results culture, and that repeated actions shape identity—positively or negatively—so discipline must be rebuilt when habits are unhealthy. He closes with questions about where more repetition is needed and whether listeners are chasing excitement or building something that lasts.00:00 Welcome and Topic02:34 Breakthroughs vs Reps03:33 Build Strong Foundations05:59 Beat Decision Fatigue07:39 Compounding Results08:36 Why It Feels Slow10:05 Identity and Discipline11:41 Questions and Wrap UpPodcast Sponsors:Robert PiperHi Voltage BargainsEthan “Rooshock” The BOLO Hunter PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod► Let's CONNECT on social media:▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.comMUSIC:» via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrvContinue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyleJoin the Newsletter: check it out

Topical Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville Every Member Has a Part: Can You Invite? Luke 5:27-32 What do we learn from this text? Levi was proactive and used an opportunity instead of having a private dinner party with Jesus. A meal together draws people closer to one another. Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. Who are the best opportunities? We are “salt.” We must touch the lives of “sinners” for them to be saved. There are two scriptural approaches churches and individuals have used to get Bible studies: Personal & Impersonal. Impersonal approaches are where we are inviting people to “come and see.” (Invitations to attend a church worship, group Bible study or via social media),  Jesus used an “impersonal” approach when he preached the parables in Matthew 13 to thousands. He transitioned to “personal” when some came into the house and asked the meaning of the parables. Personal approaches are more private, personal studies with one or two Christians. In these studies we can directly deal with the individual needs and questions of our friend. Opportunities may be created for this invitation by developing personal relationships and friendships. Do you need any more friends? (Example of the elderly group in Oregon)  Advantages and disadvantages:  The advantage of an impersonal approach is (1) that it is easier and less intimidating to inviter and invitee to offer a group Bible study than to be more direct with an individual “one on one” study. (2) Large groups of people can be invited at once.  The advantage of a personal approach is that the teacher can gain a deeper friendship or relationship that is so helpful in bringing a person to Christ. When we read 1 Thessalonians 2, we see the deep love between Paul and the church that was developed through Paul giving his life and soul to them.  Enables “reasoning” & answering personal questions. This exhibits Paul's teaching style: Paul “reasoned” (exchanged thought with thought) with the people he taught. As did Jesus, he often started with an impersonal approach (preaching to a synagogue group), but conversions came from the discussions from individuals who approached him after the sermon. Which approach should we use? That depends on the circumstances. Both approaches are needed. Impersonal approaches offer widespread invitations that can lead to personal studies. However, the most successful Bible studies in terms of coming to Christ, comes much easier from the personal approach. What is the best and easiest way to get an and opportunity to invite? Do you need any more friends?  Berry Kercheville The post Reaching The Lost: Every Member Has A Part: Can You Invite? appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

How can career design transform student success when integrated directly with academic courses and advising, starting in the first year? How can higher education institutions shift student mindsets from passive box-checking to true agency and self-discovery where every experience is an experiment or prototype they can reflect on and learn from? How will AI change the “products” of career development like a LinkedIn profile or a project portfolio and what does that mean for students? We talk through these with Christa Acampora the Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and Julia Lapan the Director of Career Design and Discovery at University of Virginia.  Episode highlights include:  [5:56] Redefining Success Beyond Graduation Statistics - True student success focuses on human formation and life authorship rather than just employment data. [9:36] Scaling Career Design via First-Year Curricula - Integrating self-discovery directly into mandatory first-year courses provides equitable access for all entering students. [14:57] Shifting Mindsets from Box-Checking to Agency - Helping high-achieving students move past rigid, linear plans by framing the future as a series of prototypes. [21:22] Utilizing the Commonplace Book for Self-Reflection - Introducing practical tools that help students track their curiosities, values, and real-world experiments. [25:54] Human Formation in the Generation of AI - Recruiting students into their own learning by focusing on human capabilities that machines cannot replicate.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Sophia Chen interviews Matt Dickerson of the Air Force Research Laboratory about his research group's development of 3D- printed nanofibrous ceramics. By blending together block copolymers and pre-ceramic polymers, then burning away the block polymer, the pre-ceramic material transforms into ceramic. Dickerson believes this technique will make large-scale ceramic components easier to make. This work was published in a recent issue of npj Advanced Manufacturing.

How can higher education institutions expand the definition – and impact! – of entrepreneurship beyond the startup to maximize student success? What skills and relationships can students build and how can they apply them whether they start a company or a non-profit or work within a larger business as someone who know how to actually get things done, by creating, communicating, and solving problems? How can colleges and companies build mutually beneficial ecosystems make this happen? We talk through these with Antwon Foreman, the entrepreneurship professor and Founder of the social business support-u.org. Episode Highlights include: [3:04] The Social Business Model - Training students to solve real problems for major clients helps rapidly expand their resumes and campus ecosystems. [8:35] Redefining Student Success - Setting a multi-pronged goal of a job offer, graduate school acceptance, and business ownership before senior year accelerates development. [9:59] Broadening Entrepreneurial Frameworks - Shifting the entrepreneurial focus away from tech startups allows institutions to engage diverse academic majors. [16:47] Levering the Gig Economy - Modern students use digital platforms to bypass traditional career paths and protect their financial security. [23:01] Cultivating Corporate Intrapreneurs - Employers navigating an AI-driven economy require highly adaptive professionals who look at corporate roles through an ownership lens.

This weekend we come to the festival of Pentecost, and focus on the work of God the Holy Spirit. It is only through the work of the Holy Spirit that we receive the benefits of Christ's work for sinners.   The hymn we are studying this weekend is 234 in The Lutheran Hymnal: "Holy Ghost, with Light Divine" by English pastor and hymn writer, Andrew Reed. You will see in this hymn a very simple way of communicating the work of God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit:   Leads us from darkness into light. (Verse 1) Brings us to know and believe in Jesus. (Verse 2) Cleanses us of our sin by faith. (Verse 3) Imparts joy and peace to our burdened hearts. (Verse 4) Enables us to resist temptations. (Verse 5) Lives in us as His holy temples. (Verse 6) One of the Bible passages that serves as a foundation for this hymn is 1 Thessalonians 5:23: "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Thank the LORD for the Holy Spirit's work! Rejoice in the peace, joy, forgiveness, life, light and knowledge that you have been give through His work in you through Word and Sacrament! Thanks be to God. Pray that He would continue that good work in you throughout your life! May the LORD bless your thankful worship through the work of the Holy Spirit this weekend!

Core ConceptThe tax code favors real estate investors by designPost‑1986 tax rules intentionally incentivize buying, improving, and holding real estate because it creates jobs, economic activity, and a stronger tax base.Wealthy investors often invest in deals primarily for tax benefits, not just for cash flow.Most investors use a basic, suboptimal “W‑2 style” approachCollect rent → deduct expenses → pay tax on what's left (Schedule E).Use straight‑line depreciation (27.5 years residential, 39 years commercial).Occasionally do a 1031 exchange, but still eventually pay large capital gains and recapture.This leaves a lot of tax advantage on the table.Four key tax pillars for real estate investorsDepreciation (Pillar 1)Non‑cash “paper loss” that offsets real income.Only the building and improvements depreciate, not land.Example: $1M commercial building straight‑line over 39 years ≈ $25k+/year in deductions.Cost Segregation (Pillar 2)Engineering study separates components (HVAC, finishes, site work) into 5/7/15‑year schedules instead of 39‑year.Enables accelerated and bonus depreciation—much larger deductions in early years.Example: $1M building can create $200k–$300k+ in year‑one deductions vs. ~$25k with straight‑line.Tyler's example: $485k office → about $120k year‑one depreciation using cost seg.1031 Exchanges (Pillar 3)Sell a property, roll proceeds into like‑kind real estate, and defer capital gains + depreciation recapture.Must:Identify replacement within 45 days.Close within 180 days.Use a Qualified Intermediary.Allows a multi‑deal compounding engine: keep equity working, reset depreciation on each new asset.Example: Land bought at $618k, sold for $1.575M (~$900k gain). 1031 avoided $200k+ in taxes and rolled all equity into a new, cash‑flowing deal.Borrowing Against Appreciation (Pillar 4)Use cash‑out refis to pull equity tax‑free (loan proceeds ≠ taxable income).Keep the asset, keep the income, access liquidity, and avoid triggering capital gains.Over time, combined with 1031s, this supports long‑term wealth building and legacy planning.Generational wealth & step‑up in basisIf an investor 1031s repeatedly and has large embedded gains, when they die, heirs get a stepped‑up basis.Result: decades of capital gains can be effectively erased for heirs (no capital gains tax on prior appreciation at death).Strategic takeaway: You need the right tax teamA real estate‑focused CPA/tax strategist is critical—many general CPAs:Don't suggest cost seg.Misunderstand when/why to use it.Tax planning should be proactive and strategic, not just end‑of‑year compliance.Practical investor playbook (how his partner paid ~$0 on $1M+ net income)Stack all four pillars:Ongoing depreciation.Cost seg + bonus depreciation to load losses early.Use 1031 exchanges to keep equity compounding and reset depreciation.Refi to pull cash out tax‑free instead of selling.Result: very high income, minimal federal income tax, fully within the tax code.

2026-05-02 | UPDATES #190 | How China became the indispensable engine of Russia's assault on Europe. Bloomberg confirms 90% of Russia's sanctioned tech now flows through China. The figure was embedded in a Bloomberg report on Friday, citing officials familiar with private assessments inside European Union institutions. Let's be clear, this war has gone on for longer, and been more intense, with a far greater scale of slaughter because of massive Chinese material support and enablement of Russia. But is this a strategic decision, or more short term and transactional? Ninety percent of all sanctioned technology now entering Russia — every microchip, every integrated circuit, every electronic component, every machine tool that the European Union and its allies have spent four years trying to deny Putin's war machine — is being supplied through one country. That country is the People's Republic of China.Up from approximately 80 percent a year ago. The increase, Bloomberg's sources confirmed, is the direct result of EU sanctions tightening alternative routes — closing Hong Kong shell companies, sanctioning Turkish intermediaries, breaking up Central Asian re-export networks. As the EU squeezes everywhere else, the channel through China widens. As the channel through China widens, Russia produces more drones, more missiles, more artillery shells.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv next month, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

The law says “equal protection,” but Wendy Murphy argues the U.S. legal system still keeps women on the outside of that promise and the proof is in how gender-based violence gets handled. From rape statutes that require force to charging practices that slow-walk sexual assault complaints, we trace how constitutional doctrine, policing discretion, and courtroom culture combine to under-protect women and girls and to re-victimize survivors who try to seek justice. Wendy, an attorney and former child abuse and sex crimes prosecutor, breaks down the difference between equity and equality in plain language: equality is the constitutional floor that controls how government must treat people, while equity is impossible to achieve on top of a broken baseline. She explains how the legacy of coverture and the Supreme Court's approach after Reed v. Reed produced what she calls “unequal equal rights,” leaving room for laws to be enforced differently and worse when the victim is female. We also dig into stark examples: rape laws that treat bodily autonomy as less protected than property, hate crime statutes that often exclude sex, and evidence rules and courtroom orders that burden victims in ways other crime victims never face. From there we shift to what can actually change. Wendy walks us through the Equal Rights Amendment's long fight, why litigation still matters, and why education is a missing catalyst for constitutional reform. We also talk about Title IX enforcement in schools and why treating sex-based civil rights as second-class shapes girls' expectations of safety for life. If you care about criminal justice reform, victims' rights, constitutional law, or ending violence against women, this conversation gives you a clearer map of the problem and a strategy for action. Check out Wendy's related article, "Unequal Protection of the Laws for Women is ConstitutionalTerrorism, So How Come Nobody Knows About It?": https://digitalcommons.onu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1357&context=onu_law_review

Shashi Shankar, CEO of Novellia,  focuses on enabling patients with serious medical conditions to consolidate their medical history into a single record using a free app.  The business model provides anonymized real-world data to pharmaceutical companies for research, clinical trial recruitment, and the acceleration of new therapy development. Artificial intelligence is used to help patients make sense of their fragmented medical records, identify clinical trials, and better understand drug safety profiles and therapeutic effectiveness.  Shashi explains, "In a nutshell, what we do is we help folks living with serious and complex medical conditions find access to and then collect all of their medical records going back 20 plus years across different physicians, sites of care, labs, and insurance into one always continuously updated record that then helps them manage and navigate their course of care." "I actually spent months of my career working at Genentech and Roche, working on a number of different cancer therapeutics, and it was an amazing opportunity, and you get to meet so many different patient communities. But one of the most difficult parts, I think, for anybody who's working on developing new medications and new therapies, is that you need to really understand the communities that you hope to serve one day. And unfortunately, a lot of data that exists right now doesn't actually capture the true patient journey. And it's not very representative of the communities that are dealing with and trying to navigate all of these different conditions." "The benefit of being able to share this data with researchers in a way that's anonymous and de- identified, so patient data is always totally secure and always held private by Novellia. The benefit of this is that researchers are able to finally understand the full journey of patients and think through how their therapies can actually help those who are trying to navigate their care."  #Novellia#HealthcareInnovation #PatientEmpowerment #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #MedicalRecords #AIinHealthcare #PatientCenteredCare #HealthcareData #ClinicalTrials #Oncology #PharmaceuticalResearch #HealthIT Novellia.com Download the transcript here

With this message we are continuing our series on The Risen Christ by again looking at Jesus' first interaction with his disciples following his resurrection from the dead. The first words out his mouth were a proclamation of peace. Then he gave them their purpose. Now, he assures them that they will not be alone. And with this assurance comes the next gift we receive, power. Let's explore that together. The Holy Spirit: Convicts (John 16:8) Regenerates (John 3:5-8) Enables (1 Corinthians 12:3) Justifies (1 Corinthians 6:11) Adopts (Romans 8:15) Indwells (Romans 8:11) Illuminates (John 16:13) Intercedes (Romans 8:26) Leads (Acts 16:6-7) Fills (Ephesians 5:18) Empowers (Acts 1:8) Sanctifies (2 Corinthians 3:18) Speaks (Acts 13:2) Unifies (Ephesians 4:1-3) Cultivates intimacy (John 14:23) Glorifies Christ (John 16:14) Gifts (1 Corinthians 12:7) The disciples and their travels: Peter (Simon Peter) – Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Pontus, Galatia, Cappodocia, Rome Andrew – Scythia, Thrace, Greece (Achaia, Patras) James (son of Zebedee) – Jerusalem, Judea John – Jerusalem, Ephesus, Asia Minor, Patmos Philip – Phrygia (Hierapolis), Greek-speaking communities Bartholomew (Nathanael) – Armenia, India, Ethiopia, Mesopotamia Thomas (Didymus) – Parthia, India, Ethiopia, Mesopotamia Matthew (Levi) – Judea, Persia, Parthia, Ethiopia James (son of Alphaeus) – Judea, Edessa, Syria, Egypt Jude (Thaddeus/Lebbaeus) – Mesopotamia, Armenia, Persia, Syria Simon the Zealot – Persia, Armenia, Egypt, North Africa (varied traditions) Matthias – Judea, Cappadocia, Caspian Sea coasts, Colchis (Georgia) Speaker: Minister & Lead Pastor, Tom Olsson Passage: John 20:22 This was recorded live in Grand Rapids, MI on April 26, 2026

Claude Mythos Preview's cyber capabilities Anodot hack leaves breached companies facing extortion wolfSSL library flaw enables forged certificate use Get the show notes here: https://cisoseries.com/cybersecurity-news-claude-mythos-previews-capabilities-anodot-breached-companies-face-extortion-wolfssl-flaw-enables-forged-certificates/ Huge thanks to our sponsor, Conveyor Three tools to manage customer security reviews is two too many. Most teams start with a trust center, bolt on a questionnaire tool, and end up with a knowledge base nobody trusts and a Slack channel full of sales pings anyway. Conveyor replaces all of it. Trust center, questionnaire automation, self-serve for sales, AI-managed knowledge library, one platform. Companies like Atlassian and Zapier already made the switch. See why at conveyor.com.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: chardet ,AI, and licensing Thanks Ian Lessing Wow, where to start? A bit of legal precedence research. Chardet dispute shows how AI will kill software licensing, argues Bruce Perens on the Register Also see this GitHub issue. Dan Blanchard, maintainer of a Python character encoding detection library called chardet, released a new version of the library under a new software license. (LGPL → MIT) Dan is allowed to make this change because v7 is a complete “clean room” rewrite using AI BTW, v7 is WAY better: The result is a 48x increase in detection speed for a project that lives in the hot loops of many projects. That will lead to noticeable performance increases for literally millions of users (the package gets ~130M downloads per month). It paves a path towards inclusion in the standard library (assuming they don't institute policies against using AI tools). Thread-safe detect() and detect_all() with no measurable overhead; scales on free-threaded Python 3.13t+ An individual claiming to be Mark Pilgrim, the original creator of the library, opened an issue in the project's GitHub repo arguing that Blanchard had no right to change the software license, citing the LPGL requirement that the license remain unchanged. A 'complete rewrite' is irrelevant, since they had ample exposure to the originally licensed code (i.e. this is not a 'clean room' implementation). Blanchard disagreed, citing how version 7.0.0 and 6.0.0 compare when subjected to JPlag, a library for detecting plagiarism. Blanchard told The Register he had wanted to get chardet added to the Python standard library for more than a decade since it's a core dependency to most Python projects.
