Jason is referred to physical therapy for gradually progressive bilateral hand pain and stiffness. The patient reports that the hands feel stiff for approximately 15 minutes after waking and becomes increasingly painful after prolonged gripping and household activities. Examination reveals firm enlargement of several interphalangeal joints and decreased motion of the first carpometacarpal joints bilaterally. There is no significant warmth or swelling of the metacarpophalangeal joints.Which of the following additional findings would be MOST likely in this patient?A) Ulnar drift of the digits at the metacarpophalangeal jointsB) Swan-neck deformity involving hyperextension of the PIP jointsC) Heberden nodes involving the distal interphalangeal jointsD) Boutonnière deformity involving flexion of the PIP joints- Join the FREE NPTE Facebook Group: www.nptegroup.com- Download My Hand Deformities Cheatsheet: https://www.nptecheatsheet.com/hand-deformities

When you see a fossil, or hear the word, you should not automatically think millions of years. In an attempt to maintain the illusion that fossils automatically must be millions of years old, evolutionists dismiss the examples of young fossils as freaks of nature. However, there are many examples of recent fossils.It was low tide when a circular rock was discovered on a western Australian beach. A little over two feet in diameter, the wheel-shaped rock weighed 165 pounds. It was hard and solid, even ringing like a bell when struck. Examination proved that the rock was a dense high calcium sandstone. Even before it was cut open for study, the rock seemed unusual. Once it was cut open it became clear that this was fossilized fence wire. Further analysis identified the wire as "Number 8" fence wire that was used at a nearby sheep station between 1920 and 1970. It was standard practice that after ten years old fence wires were replaced. The old wire was coiled and often thrown into the sea. This fossil could have been only about 30 years old and not more than 80 years old!The existence of fossils does not disprove the Bible's account of history, which dates the earth at only about 6,000 years old. If fossils can form in a relatively few number of years, 6,000 years are more than enough time to form all the millions of fossils discovered.Luke 19:40“And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”Prayer: Lord, protect me from being misled by those who doubt Your Word.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/Mark Treichel recorded this episode after presenting to a credit union supervisory committee on the 5300 and the call report — why it matters to NCUA, and why it should matter to you. The first half is the risk view from NCUA's side of the table. The second half is what the rules actually ask of the supervisory committee.NCUA collects and analyzes call report information to assess a credit union's financial condition and evaluate existing and potential risks to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Its risk-focused exam program relies heavily on the accuracy of that data, and inaccurate information impairs an examiner's ability to properly identify and assess risk. With the agency down 27% of staff, good data is what lets NCUA decide where to send people.Mark's read on direction — stated as his opinion — is data-driven supervision. The proposed strategic plan commits to more closely integrating advanced analytics and enhanced decision-making support tools into examination scoping, scheduling, and CAMELS rating processes, under strategic objective 1.3. The 2024 annual report says that by analyzing much of a credit union's financial and operational condition remotely, it may be possible to reduce the frequency and scope of on-site examinations. He traces the virtual exam idea back to Mark McWatters' time on the board and Larry Fazio's budget work at Examination and Insurance, and notes a rumor — he emphasizes that it is a rumor — that NCUA may be redoing MERIT or adding functions to it.Then the six reasons the 5300 carries weight: it is NCUA's primary lens between exams, it sets your capital classification and prompt corrective action, it is a legal filing an officer declares true and correct, it is a public document anyone can pull, it drives the 1% NCUSIF deposit and the equity ratio that decides whether NCUA charges a premium, and it works as a proxy for whether your internal controls function.The supervisory committee half turns on one word. The rule's verb is ensure, not prepare. Management prepares the call report; the committee ensures the credit union meets measurement and filing requirements and that reports are promptly prepared and accurate. The committee owns the auditor relationship, and total assets on the year-end call report determine which annual audit the credit union must obtain. Mark walks through internal audit as the committee's engine, where the committee adds value versus what belongs to management, NCUA's recommended practices from the Examiner's Guide — noting that a guide is not a regulation — and closes with five questions a committee can put to management every quarter.NCUA uses your call report to scope exams, time them, and feed your rating — and with the agency down 27% of staff, that data carries more weight than it used to. Mark Treichel covers the six reasons the 5300 matters, what the supervisory committee rule actually requires (ensure, not prepare), and five questions to put to management every quarter.

It's a common question. If the examining lawyer says they're going to depose witnesses by remote video, and notices it that way, does this obligate you (and all other counsel) to likewise appear remotely? Or can you still freely appear in person if you wish?

The video explores the Emilcin Incident, one of the most famous and puzzling alien abduction cases in Polish history. In 1978, a 71-year-old farmer named Jan Wolski claimed that while driving his horse and cart, he encountered two strange, green-faced beings in a meadow. According to his account, he was taken aboard a hovering, crystal-white craft where he underwent a superficial examination by the entities before being released.Key aspects of the incident include:The Witnesses: Jan Wolski was described by his community as an honest, reliable, and straight-talking man, which made his claims difficult for investigators to dismiss as hallucinations or lies.Physical Evidence: Following the event, locals discovered unusual trapezoidal footprints, flattened crops, and mysterious black feathers at the site, though these have remained a subject of intense debate.The Aftermath: The story triggered a massive surge in UFO reports across Poland throughout the late 1970s and 1980s.Beyond the possibility of an extraterrestrial encounter, the video delves into a complex conspiracy theory involving two rival ufologists, Blanania Bolar and Wil Zvonic. Researchers have suggested that the entire incident may have been a staged event or a psychological experiment gone wrong—a prank intended to humiliate a rival that spiraled out of control and gained a life of its own in the public imagination. Ultimately, the Emilcin Incident remains a testament to the power of belief and the mysterious intersection of human deception and the unexplained.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more fascinating stories about conspiracies, the paranormal and the unexplained.

Chance Shifflett, head of product at Rev, joins Jared to unpack how solo and small-firm criminal attorneys can get a handle on the flood of evidence, body cam footage, jail calls, depositions, and thousands of documents, that discovery throws at them. He explains what makes an investigative platform different from a generic discovery tool, why verbatim transcription and accurate speaker diarization are non-negotiable in criminal cases, and why running privileged evidence through a generic AI tool is a real risk. He also lays out how to actually pilot legal AI before you trust it with a case. Key Takeaways An "investigative platform" is built to help you interrogate a body of evidence and find the truth, not just search a document set, and that is a different job than most discovery software does. Verbatim transcription, capturing every stutter, false start, and "mm-hmm," matters in criminal cases because a polished transcript can smooth over the details that end up mattering to the outcome. Speaker diarization is still the hardest problem in legal transcription, especially on body cam footage and jail calls, where bad mics and background noise make it worse. When you pilot an AI tool, put your skeptics on it instead of your AI enthusiasts. They are the ones who will tell you what will actually break at your firm. AI can help draft documents and process evidence faster, but it cannot read a jury's emotions or tell a case's story, so the courtroom skills that make a great trial lawyer are not going anywhere.

The Federal Government and organised labour have reached an agreement to conduct a two-week examination of the King's College, Lagos concession arrangement in response to concerns regarding the proposed Public-Private Partnership (PPP). The discussion, presided over by the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, included participation from the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, and the Acting Permanent Secretary, Dr Folake Olatunji David. This agreement emerged following an urgent high-level consultation between the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) and its affiliated organisation, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), with the Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja.Following this consultation, ASCSN declared the cessation of its industrial action regarding apprehensions about the proposed concession framework and instructed personnel in Federal Unity Colleges across the nation to return to their regular responsibilities. ASCSN National President, Shehu Mohammed, and Secretary-General, Joshua Apebo, endorsed the statement declaring the suspension of industrial action. A significant outcome of the consultation was the formation of a seven-member Joint Review Committee comprising representatives from labour organisations and other relevant parties.The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) announced that the decision to halt industrial action was made in accordance with established collective bargaining protocols and in acknowledgment of concessions extended by the Federal Government.Nevertheless, the union communicated that the suspension remained conditional in nature, indicating its readiness to reinstate industrial action without advance notification should the Joint Review Committee prove unable to address the grievances articulated by labour representatives. The association directed its chapter and unit leadership to maintain heightened vigilance and systematically track developments as the committee commences its operational mandate.The Ministry further clarified that the Federal Government would maintain complete legal ownership and administrative oversight of King's College, with public access to the institution remaining consistent with prevailing Federal Government policy.Regarding tuition fees, the Ministry provided assurance to labour that fee adjustments would not occur beyond the parameters of the Federal Government's policy framework on cost-effective education applicable to Federal Unity Schools

Episode Title: What the Silence Has Been HidingSeason 3: Series Finale: "What Do You Have To Believe To Believe That?"What are you waiting for?Not in the abstract. Specifically.The investors. The board. A little more capacity. The lawyers. The kids to go off to college. To lose the weight.Or the biggest trap of all: Waiting for things to get back to normal.Here is what thirty years of sitting with leaders at the highest levels has taught Dov Baron about fate.Carl Jung wrote: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will run your life, and you will call it fate."The fifth partner who turned out to be exactly like the four before. The job with the same impossible boss you didn't find; you unconsciously selected them. The pattern you keep blaming on bad luck.Psychoanalysts call it repetition compulsion. The mind keeps rebuilding the situation it never resolved, hoping it wins this time.It's not fate. It's the manuscript of your architecture of meaning that you keep signing off on.The only exit is seeing the pattern from outside.Normal isn't coming back. And the cost of waiting for it is something this episode names directly, without softening it, at a personal, civilizational, and generational level. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST EPISODEThis episode is the answer. Episode 1 is the question.Start with Episode 1: You Didn't Think It. It Was Thought For You. [URL]Five episodes. One mechanism examined from the personal to the civilizational. Each episode is complete in itself. Together, they build the most important argument this series makes. WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUTThis is the series finale of What Do You Have to Believe to Believe That?Four episodes examined the mechanism operating in Peter Thiel, JD Vance, and Curtis Yarvin. This episode turns the lens around.On Dov Baron. On the armor built from intelligence and called wisdom. On ten thousand whispered moments called something else. On the jaw wired closed for nine months after a hundred and twenty-foot fall. On a cat named Tuffy ‘Mr Tuf', found cold and stiff on an ordinary evening, who finally got through when the armor couldn't hold.And on the new feudalism we are already living inside. The technocrats as digital landowners. The mental and emotional taxes paid in attention, privacy, and the capacity for sustained thought. The cognitive overload designed to make genuine examination feel impossible.That's not a bug. It's a feature.Because a person who cannot finish a thought cannot mount a coherent examination of the architecture running their life.And the people in your care are living inside the consequences. THE COST OF THE UNEXAMINED LIFELeadership from an unexamined wound does not produce vision. It produces the wound at scale.This series has offered four episodes of evidence for that claim. The world has offered fifteen years of consequences.The meteorologists at NOAA gone before the hurricane season. The FDA reviewers who decided whether your medication was safe. The IRS specialists who pursued fraud by those who could afford lawyers. The Schedule F executive order removing over 317,000 federal employees and replacing them with pre-vetted loyalists.These are the operational consequences of unexamined wounds given civilizational resources.The geopolitical, economic, and environmental world has fallen off the mountain.Normal is over.And you and I and our children are living inside what comes next. THE EXAMINATIONThe armor Dov built, so effectively disguised as wisdom that it had him convinced, could not survive one ordinary evening alone with a dead cat he didn't particularly like.Because armor only works when there's something to protect.True transformation is not a new layer of spackle. It's full demolition. The phoenix can only rise from the flames when every false image has burned away.The only exit from the pattern is seeing it from outside.If something shifted for you across these five episodes, not just in your thinking but in the place below your thinking where some version of Tuffy Mr Tuf gets through when the armor can't hold, reach out directly at dov@dovbaron.com with the subject line: The Examination.Not to buy anything.

Not observing. Being the person that founders and senior executives call when the external success has arrived and something essential is still missing.Most people who find this series want to know one thing.How do I get access to that room?His work sits at the intersection of the Emotional Source Code and the Emotional Meaning Architecture: psychological frameworks that reveal what drives behavior, identity, and meaning before it reaches conscious examination. The same frameworks that produced the analysis you've been listening to across five episodes.He has worked exclusively by referral for twenty years. He has personally interviewed every client. And he has said no to at least as many as he has said yes to.If you are a founder or senior executive or leader in any form who has arrived at the place where what you've built is no longer enough, where the winning has stopped being the thing, where the armor has started to feel heavy in a way it didn't used to feel, reach out directly at dov@dovbaron.com with the subject line: The Examination.Not to buy anything.

DESCRIPTION THE SONS OF GOD IN GENESIS 6: ANGELS OR SETHITES? Who were the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? Were they descendants of Seth who married women from the line of Cain? Or does the biblical, linguistic, historical, and Second Temple evidence point toward rebellious heavenly beings whose actions resulted in the Nephilim? In KIB 549, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake examine one of the most debated passages in the Old Testament and ask an important question: WHAT DOES THE TEXT ACTUALLY SAY? The discussion was prompted by a recent article from an evangelistic ministry advocating the Sethite interpretation of Genesis 6. Rather than attacking the character or ministry of those who hold that position, Dr. Lake emphasizes the importance of mature theological disagreement and then examines the interpretation historically and exegetically. A major proof text sometimes offered for the Sethite position is Matthew 22:29–33, where Jesus says that those in the resurrection "neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven." But what is the context? Jesus is answering a challenge from the Sadducees concerning RESURRECTION and marriage in the age to come. The question is not Genesis 6. The question is not whether rebellious angels can assume physical form. The question is not whether angels possess sexuality. The immediate issue is whether earthly marriage and family structures continue in the resurrection. KIB 549 examines why importing a Genesis 6 argument into Matthew 22 risks reading a theological conclusion into a text rather than drawing the meaning from its actual context. THE HISTORICAL QUESTION The episode then asks: How did ancient Jewish and Christian interpreters understand Genesis 6? Dr. Lake argues that the angelic interpretation was widespread in Second Temple Judaism and among early Christian writers, while Julius Africanus introduced the Sethite interpretation as a possible alternative centuries later. The teaching discusses how later theological developments, including philosophical assumptions concerning the nature of spiritual beings, may have contributed to increasing resistance to the angelic interpretation. The important point is methodological: A later interpretation should not automatically be read backward into the biblical text. Scripture must remain the final authority. WHAT DOES GENESIS 6 ACTUALLY SAY? Genesis 6:1–4 describes the "sons of God" taking the "daughters of man," followed by the appearance of the Nephilim and "mighty men." The episode also considers the ancient Greek Septuagint tradition and the broader Old Testament usage of "sons of God." The fundamental question becomes: Does Scripture itself identify the "sons of God" as Sethites? The teaching argues that nowhere in the Old Testament are the descendants of Seth explicitly identified by that expression, whereas comparable "sons of God" terminology elsewhere can refer to heavenly beings. This creates another problem for the Sethite interpretation: If ordinary Sethite men married ordinary Cainite women, why does Genesis 6 connect these unions with the Nephilim and mighty men? The text demands an explanation for the extraordinary offspring. GENESIS 6 AND THE DAYS OF NOAH The discussion becomes even more important when Genesis 6 is considered alongside Jesus' warnings about the days of Noah. The episode asks whether the last days could include elements paralleling the conditions surrounding Noah: Advanced technology. Increasing corruption of humanity. Spiritual deception. The blurring of boundaries established by God. And potentially the reappearance of phenomena connected with the Nephilim. The transcript argues that dismissing Genesis 6 as nothing more than intermarriage between Sethites and Cainites can leave Christians without an interpretive framework for understanding some of the more unusual aspects of the biblical last-days narrative. DISCERNMENT WITHOUT SENSATIONALISM But KIB 549 also gives an important warning. Accepting a supernatural worldview does NOT mean believing every extraordinary story. The episode cautions against sensationalism, false memories, deliberate counterintelligence, occult disinformation, attention-seeking stories, and claims that cannot be adequately established. The goal is not fascination with bizarre phenomena. The goal is biblical discernment. As Dr. Lake states: "Let's stick to the facts." The believer must learn to distinguish genuine evidence from speculation and deception. THE ANSWER IS STILL JESUS Luke 21:25–28 warns of a time when humanity will experience extraordinary fear because of what is coming upon the world. Yet Jesus does not tell His people to panic. He tells them: "Straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." — Luke 21:28 Whatever manifests in the days ahead, Jesus Christ remains Lord. The name of Jesus remains above every power. The Word of God remains true. And the remnant must move away from entertainment and speculation and become increasingly fascinated with the greatness of God, the authority of Jesus Christ, and the power of His Word. WAITING UPON THE LORD The first portion of KIB 549 provides an important companion message. Many believers are weary. The spiritual warfare has been intense. Isaiah 40:31 promises: "They who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength." The episode examines the Hebrew imagery behind "wait," emphasizing binding or intertwining together. The season of waiting is therefore not necessarily evidence that God has abandoned His people. It can become a season in which believers are increasingly intertwined with Him. The question becomes: What are we weaving into our lives? The Word? Prayer? Christ? Or the distractions and tentacles of Babylon? The pressure of the hour makes that choice increasingly important. THE REMNANT MUST PREPARE KIB 549 concludes with encouragement rather than fear. God knew the generation into which He placed us. The answer is consecration. Biblical maturity. Spiritual warfare. Discernment. Confidence in the Word. And preparation for Kingdom assignments. Just as David was prepared progressively before confronting Goliath, God can use today's battles to prepare the remnant for tomorrow's greater challenges. When the moment comes, God wants a people who respond like Joshua and Caleb: If God says we can take the mountain, we can take the mountain. The episode concludes that God is progressively training the remnant so that, when the decisive moment arrives, His people will be prepared to function as He intends.

The primary focus of this podcast episode revolves around the complexities of contemporary political and social dynamics, as articulated through the discourse on various pressing topics, including the implications of patriotism as symbolized by the American flag. As the discussion unfolds, we explore the nuanced perspectives regarding the flag's representation, contrasting its historical significance with the evolving sentiments surrounding it, particularly among marginalized communities. Through our reflections, we delve into the intersection of identity, allegiance, and the broader implications of national symbols in the context of personal and collective experiences. Additionally, we touch upon the political landscape, particularly the surprising outcomes of recent electoral events in Michigan, thereby shedding light on the unpredictable nature of political affiliations and voter sentiments. Ultimately, this dialogue serves as a lens through which we can examine the intricate interplay between individual identities and the societal frameworks within which they exist.

Self-examination is important, but Christians also must consider the need for communal examination. As a "body" of believers, our lives are interwoven and we carry each other's burdens. But first, we must challenge the social construct of individualism. We have a great example in the Scriptures for what this might look like. Join us as we workshop Daniel's prayer in Daniel 9.

The family agreed. The DA agreed. A joint forensic examination of Nolan Wells' phone at the Digital Forensics Lab at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Both sides' experts in the room, possibly the FBI. Then a month went by without a date being set, and the DA sent a letter: hand over the phone in 48 hours.The phone had already been through civilian hands. Nolan's mother and her sister opened both Snapchat accounts before any forensic protocol existed and found them empty. Meanwhile, the three friends who were with Nolan on Horn Island turned over their own devices to the FBI without being asked twice.Forensic experts say the longer that phone sits unexamined, the more data Snapchat and WhatsApp purge from their servers. The state autopsy is sealed. A grand jury is supposedly reviewing the case. And the phone that might answer what happened on July 4 has not been touched by a single forensic tool.Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, breaks down who is responsible for the collapsed deal and whether the evidence can still be recovered.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Chuck Todd opens with the collapse of U.S.-Canada trade talks, where Mark Carney walked away after last-minute American demands — chiefly on mid- and heavy-duty truck tariffs — and declared the U.S. can't be trusted as a partner. Asked about the tone of his remarks, Carney's answer was blunt: you are at war when you get attacked. Chuck notes the whole western world is quietly cheering him on even as individual European leaders push back while the EU took its deal, and argues the real problem is that this administration isn't negotiating with one voice. The fallout lands squarely on Senate battlegrounds, forcing Susan Collins to speak out against her own party's trade war. Then there's beef: Trump's move to let in 300,000 metric tons of tariff-free ground beef drew immediate fire from cattle groups and Republicans including Ashley Hinson and Tim Sheehy, and Chuck argues it's a tacit admission that the tariff regime is raising prices. Battleground states account for two-thirds of American cattle ranching, Iowa becomes the bellwether, and Trump is single-handedly making safe races competitive — while Scott Bessent defends the indefensible, calling tariff refunds corporate welfare and arguing the country needs fewer jobs because of deportations, all as the national debt clears $40 trillion. Then Chuck highlights that polling between July 4th and Labor Day is largely wasted money, the August electorate isn't the November electorate, polling has gotten cheaper and worse, and polling averages deserve real skepticism. Arkansas is the case study — five Senate polls, four poorly done, and the one that got everyone's attention showing Tom Cotton in trouble had bad methodology. Chuck’s landing: don't buy the poll, but Cotton may be in some trouble anyway, because he's an old-school hawk who championed war with Iran in a state where Trump commands more personal loyalty than he does. He won't lose, but the margin could surprise. Chuck also flags red flags in Byron Donalds' northern Florida margins, argues the USS Abraham Lincoln reporting exposed a credibility crisis at a Pentagon where Hegseth treats accurate reporting as a personal threat, and warns it'll take decades for either the Pentagon or DOJ to recover. Plus: an NRSC memo declaring data center politics toxic, Mike Rogers keeping AIPAC out of Michigan while El-Sayed argues outside money shouldn't buy the state's politics, and Hakeem Jeffries meeting privately with Jared Kushner — which Chuck defends outright, because communication isn't betrayal even when the base wants confrontation. He closes on the question underneath the ToddCast's Lakers special report: with private credit over $1.5 trillion and life insurers holding roughly $900 billion of it, is Mark Walter an outlier or the canary in the coal mine? Chuck’s answer is that he isn't an outlier at all — this is how the machine works now, in a corner of finance where no single regulator can see the whole picture and where the real worry may be inflated valuations. Then, former Ohio Governor and presidential candidate John Kasich joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that keeps returning to one uncomfortable diagnosis: Americans say they want the political middle and then retreat to their partisan corners the moment it counts. Kasich's read on this cycle is bracing coming from a Republican — the democratic socialists are talking about things voters actually care about, while moderate Democrats have stayed conspicuously quiet, which is exactly why the left has struck a nerve. On the data center backlash, Kasich has a straightforward answer — make them provide their own power — and points out that Ohio ratepayers are already footing higher bills for facilities located in Virginia. He's blunt that politicians are beholden to special interests before they're even sworn in, supports public financing of elections, and warns that neither the center-right nor center-left is producing genuinely interesting solutions to anything, least of all a national debt he says is going to hurt everybody if it isn't addressed. Kasich also addresses recent concerns with the Pentagon, where he brings real budget-committee experience to a question few politicians take seriously: what exactly are we getting for a defense budget this size? He argues Pentagon leadership is deeply resistant to change, that America isn't developing new systems and technology well, that only about 1% of defense dollars go toward new systems, and that we simply don't need this many nuclear weapons — one alone, as he puts it, will ruin your day. He uses the B-2 bomber, built with parts manufactured across a strategically chosen array of states, to explain why reform is so brutally hard, while insisting it remains possible with the right political leadership. From there the conversation widens into Kasich's argument that moderates have historically been the bulwark against the extremes, that outside forces are often what actually force change , and that people outside both parties are about to turn hard on the tech companies. He wonders aloud whether a backlash to private equity could become a genuine threat to capitalism itself — pointing to private equity buying up youth sports to raise prices, and to firms that can effectively choose which regulators they deal with. Kasich closes with Ohio: whether the state is genuinely purple again or just having a bad Republican year, why he thinks it drifts back toward swing status over time, why the Senate race is too close to call, and whether Amy Acton or Vivek Ramaswamy faces the harder barrier to winning the governorship. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit Harry Truman nationalizing the railroad system… and why emergency presidential powers need to be taken back by congress.

Talk to a HG Coach 1-on-1: https://bit.ly/46bIkdoDr. K's NEW Guide to Love, Sex, & Relationships is here! Order now: https://bit.ly/4dO3x0VDr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQIn this episode, Dr. K steps away from his usual content to offer a raw, clinical, and philosophical breakdown of the Lindsay Clancy trial. Analyzing this tragedy from his perspective as an MGH-trained psychiatrist, he separates social media sensationalism from medical reality. Dr. K dives deep into the neurobiology of the postpartum period, the terrifying reality of clinical psychosis, and how a fragmented healthcare system failed everyone involved. What to expect in this episode: The Postpartum Reality & Motherhood Pressures: How hormonal and physiological shifts, like changes in progesterone, estrogen, and oxytocin, can completely alter a woman's emotional baseline and blunt her normal fear centers. Dr. K explains the immense pressure on new mothers to feel instant love and perfection, which can lead to severe isolation when they instead feel overwhelmed or disconnected. The "Edge of the Cliff": Why hundreds of thousands of women are rallying behind Lindsay Clancy. Dr. K notes that many mothers recognize how close they themselves came to the "edge of the cliff" during their own postpartum periods, and how a complete lack of support and deep shame can make suicide feel like a logical escape. The Science of Postpartum Psychosis: How postpartum psychosis is far more common than society thinks—affecting 1 to 3 out of every 1,000 live births, translating to roughly 20 women every single day in the US. Dr. K breaks down how first-episode bipolar disorder often remains hidden until uncovered by postpartum changes. What Psychosis Actually Feels Like (The "EASE" Scale): An eye-opening explanation of clinical psychosis utilizing the Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience (EASE) scale. Dr. K describes severe delusions like Capgras Syndrome (believing loved ones are imposters) and the Cotard Delusion (the belief that you or your organs are already dead) to show how profoundly a psychotic brain distorts reality. A Fragmented Medical System: How the American healthcare system failed to protect Lindsay, featuring a cocktail of 12 prescribed psychiatric drugs and a psychiatrist who only had 17 minutes to evaluate her due to insurance constraints. Dr. K examines how having 6 to 7 independent providers who never talk to each other creates a recipe for tragedy. Echo Chambers & Algorithmic Realities: How social media platforms and algorithms divide us by feeding us entirely different "data points," causing people to live in separate realities and jump to extreme, ungrounded conclusions with absolute certainty. How to Handle a "Cooked" World: Dr. K's psychological steps to combatting hopelessness. He explains why hope is tied to autonomy, not outcomes, and how admitting your own ignorance is the first crucial step toward introducing the cognitive flexibility needed to change your life.

Li-ion thermal runaways in aircraft cabins, Ryanair engine blade-out accident, two planes with the same flight number at the same airport at the same time, Marine One and commercial operations at DCA, Air India crash report update, Boeing 737 Max crack inspections, hiring gamers to become air traffic controllers, and the Heart Aerospace X1 battery-electric demonstrator first flight. Aviation News Li-ion Thermal Runaways on the Rise in Aircraft Cabins UL Standards & Engagement (ULSE) issued a 2025 Data Review, Lithium-ion Battery Incidents in Aviation [PDF, 13 pages]. The study reports a 15% increase in Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway incidents on passenger flights in 2025, compared to the year prior. Portable charger incidents increased 42%, ahead of e-cigarettes, with cell phones the third most common device involved in thermal runaways. The data comes from the voluntary ULSE Thermal Runaway Incident Program (TRIP). More than 40 passenger and cargo airlines participate in the program. These incidents cost the industry an average of $1.8 million a year, or $96,000 per incident, “in damage, disruption, and associated losses.” To mitigate the risk of thermal runaway incidents, ULSE recommends cabin crew training, standards for onboard safety equipment to help manage thermal runaways, and more passenger education. Bird strike suspected in Ryanair engine blade-out accident In July, a Malta Air Boeing 737-800, doing business as Ryanair flight 1879, experienced a No 2 fan-blade-out failure as it climbed out of Thessaloniki International Airport in Greece. Engine fragments breached the fuselage and the cabin depressurized. A passenger was partially sucked out through a window that blew out. In its Aviation Investigation Preliminary Report [PDF, 13 pages], the NTSB reports: “Examination of the airplane revealed that the No. 2 engine, an CFM International (a joint company between Safran Aircraft Engines and GE Aerospace) model CFM56-7B26, experienced a fan blade separation that resulted in engine fragments striking the fuselage and the right horizontal stabilizer. The pressurized section of the fuselage was penetrated 1) through the passenger cabin window located at row 11, as well as 2) lower lobe fuselage skin behind the right wing-to-body fairing… Additional impact damage was found on the right wing-to-body fairing, a dent with paint smearing on the fuselage window belt skin, a dent on a stringer common to the dented fuselage window belt skin, a gouge on the right horizontal stabilizer upper skin and a dent on the right horizontal stabilizer leading edge.” View of the No.2 (right) engine inlet. View is looking aft..Courtesy NTSB. “Examination of the engine and nacelle revealed that one fan blade (No.10) had fractured and separated below the blade platform. The outer blade tips were fractured and separated on two additional fan blades (Nos. 16 and 21). All remaining blades were full length but exhibited varying levels of impact deformation. Three loose fan blade fragments were recovered from the engine. A visual examination of the core was performed and there was no evidence of radial uncontainment though the engine cases, or any undercowl fire. The engine inlet cowl, which is forward of the fan case, exhibited evidence of punctures…” Bird remains were recovered and hand-carried to the Smithsonian Institution Feather Identification Lab in Washington. The Greece Hellenic Air and Railway Safety Investigation Authority (HARSIA) delegated the investigation in full to the NTSB. See: Ryanair Uncontained Engine Failure followed by Cabin Depressurization and Passenger Window Injury),  2 planes with the same flight number avoid possible disaster thanks to quick-thinking controller Recently, American Airlines flight 2482 was departing Phoenix International Airport (PHX) while another American Airlines flight 2482 was arriving at the same airport from Chicago. A Phoenix air traffic controller with 25 years on the job quickly recognized the problem and referred to the flights as “American 2482 on the arrival” and “American 2482 on the departure.” See: ‘It Could Have Been Disastrous': Air Traffic Controller Carefully Handles Two American Airlines Planes With the Same Callsign as They Flew Towards One Another Passenger plane taking off got too close to Trump's Marine One helicopter, NTSB and FAA to investigate Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is located about three miles from the White House. When the president departs the Ellipse in Marine One, airport traffic is typically halted. This time, airport traffic continued for a few minutes. The FAA said, “…there was momentary loss of separation after which the aircraft continued to move away from one another.” Ahmedabad tragedy: Supreme Court accepts pilot dad’s plea not to make Air India crash report public The Supreme Court of India granted a request from the 91-year-old father of one of the pilots killed in the June 2025 Air India Ahmedabad crash (Flight AI171, 260 dead) that the final crash investigation report from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) be submitted to the court in a sealed cover rather than made public.  The AAIB had told the court its final report would be ready by October, and the government agreed to submit it in a sealed cover out of respect for the father’s wishes, even though the Solicitor General had initially opposed keeping it confidential, citing international investigation norms under ICAO. FAA orders crack inspections for hundreds of Boeing 737 Max jets The final rule applies to certain Boeing 737-8, -9, and -8200 Max models, estimated to be 471 planes. While no cracks have been found in these Max models, the FAA received reports of cracks in a forward “bear strap” for several older 737 NG planes.

Welcome to Session 336 The Behavioral Observations Podcast. Well technically, this is actually Session 199, and I wanted to take a minute to explain why you're hearing a rebroadcast. This conversation with Dr. Jason Travers originally aired back in September of 2022, but I've decided it's worth bringing back because, unfortunately, the issues surrounding Facilitated Communication haven't gone away. In fact, if anything, they've become more relevant. Over the past several years, we've continued to see heartwarming news stories and viral social media posts featuring non-speaking autistic individuals who appear to be communicating through methods such as Facilitated Communication, the Rapid Prompting Method, or Spelling to Communicate. These stories are understandably compelling. We all want people with significant communication challenges to have access to effective ways to express themselves. The problem is that hope, by itself, isn't evidence. Facilitated Communication has been studied extensively for decades, and the scientific record is remarkably consistent. The evidence has repeatedly shown that the messages produced through FC originate with the facilitator, not the individual. Despite that, these practices continue to find new audiences under different names and in different settings. As behavior analysts—and really, as anyone who cares about helping people with disabilities—we have an obligation to evaluate interventions based on evidence, even when the conclusions are uncomfortable. That's especially true when the potential harms are so significant, not only for the individuals using these methods, but also for their families, educators, and support teams. I also think this episode serves as a useful foundation because I plan to cover this topic in greater depth over the coming months, along with other interventions that have gained popularity despite lacking scientific support. Rather than assuming everyone has heard this discussion before, I thought it made sense to revisit what I think is one of the clearest introductions to the topic. So whether you're hearing this conversation for the first time or giving it another listen, I hope you'll pay particular attention to the history of Facilitated Communication, how it was scientifically evaluated, why those findings matter, and how Dr. Travers recommends discussing these issues with colleagues and families in a way that's both accurate and compassionate. Please note that I edited out the "how did you get into ABA segment," so you can get right to the heart of the topic. I'll include links to the original recording if you want to go back and hear more about Jason's background. Here are the shownotes from the original broadcast: If your social media consumption is anything like mine, you've likely seen some feel-good stories in the media as of late that report on non-speaking students - generally students with Autism - who are graduating from college, giving valedictorian speeches, and so forth.  Unfortunately, what's often underpinning many of these cases is a form of Facilitated Communication, or FC for short. What is FC? Glad you asked! In today's episode, Dr. Jason Travers, Associate Professor at Temple University, joins me today to answer this very question (follow him on Twitter here).  We covered the history of Facilitated Communication, the early scientific investigations that discredited this practice, FC's variants like the Rapid Prompting Method and Spelling to Communicate, where the practice of FC stands today, the harms that Facilitated Communication causes both users and caregivers, and how Behavior Analysts should both view and talk about these practices.  Jason also provides the audience with a treasure trove of additional resources: Jason's Research Gate and Google Scholar pages.

What would it mean to believe you had lived a past life connected to one of history's darkest chapters? Author Benjamin Carraud shares the story behind Goodbye, Fields of Prokhorovka: Past Life Memories of a Waffen-SS Officer, including the spontaneous memories that began while he was living in China, his efforts to rule out conventional explanations, and the research that eventually led him to the family of the man he believes he once was. Benjamin discusses the emotional weight of those memories, how the experience changed his views on reincarnation, and why he does not consider himself the same person as the officer. Instead, he believes there may be a continuity of consciousness connecting the two lives. NOTE: This episode discusses an alleged past-life experience involving a Waffen-SS officer. Examination of an individual perpetrator's psychology does not minimize the Waffen-SS's participation in the Holocaust and other war crimes, nor diminish the suffering of its victims. Both the guest and I reject any glorification of the SS. This interview is simply the author's account of what he believes to be memories of a past life.
