Send us a textOn this episode of Embedded Insiders, we're joined by David Bartlett, Head of Technology in the business unit at u-blox, to explore how low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites could elevate positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. Are satellites closer to Earth the answer to providing reliable PNT in the toughest environments?Then, Rich and Vin sit down with Frank Norris, author of Colonizing Mars, to discuss what it would take to establish a human colony on the Red Planet, and the challenges of establishing a permanent colony there. But first, we dive into AI and security. Building on a recent conversation with BlackBerry, I ask Rich and Ken to unpack the complexities of using AI to secure systems against AI-driven threats. How do we ensure that AI solutions stay reliable without introducing new risks?For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

— We Shall Not All Sleep. — Preached by Dr. J. Frank Norris. — Preached on December 30 1945 — Preached at The First Baptist Church of Fort Worth, Texas — 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 —Thanks For Listening, I hope you were helped by this! —I know the audio is not great on a lot of these, but it is the best that I can find. Many of these messages were recorded in the early to mid 1900's, and the audio recording equipment was not great then. But! The messages are worth the extra focus that it takes to get it.

The history of Baptists in the United States is a long and convoluted story of victory and failure, unity and division, momentum, and decline. But, if we pay attention to the stories of those individual leaders within the movement, we discover a very important lesson – namely, that when men are full of faith in God and his word, and fearlessly preach it, they can be mightily used for the kingdom of God. Conversely, men who trade truth for pragmatism or divide the body of Christ for their own righteous causes, will often do more to harm the kingdom then Today we have invited O. S. Hawkins, former pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas and the Chancellor and Senior Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Evangelism at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to discuss two historic Baptist pastors that serve to help us heed these lessons.Hawkins is the author of over 50 books, including the book we will be considering today, In the Name of God: The Colliding Lives, Legends and Legacies of J. Frank Norris and George W. Truett.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore
On Today's episode, we delve into both J. Frank Norris' infamous 1926-1927 murder trial, and the physical and historical evidence surrounding his "Brain In The Jar" story that was used for decades after his death to scare fundamentalists into submission. This "Brain In The Jar" story appeared in our first ever podcast episode. Since that time over three years ago, it has been our holy grail. Finding out the details and getting the opportunity to confirm or debunk this story has been a long-term goal of this podcast that was not possible to achieve until now. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we'll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it's relevant to the story we're telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics.Additional TW for body horrorAn extended, uncensored, and ad-free version of this podcast episode is available to subscribers at Patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcastWE HAVE NEW MERCH AVAILABLE, AND A NEW MERCH SHOP, at https://leavingedenpodcast.threadless.comStream the Leaving Eden Podcast theme song, Rolling River of Time on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/artist/6lB7RwSQ9X5gnt1BDNugyS?si=jVhmqFfYRSiruRxekdLgKA.Join our Facebook Discussion group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodusJoin our subreddit!

We have finally, after 3 years, tracked down the ORIGINAL "Brain In A Jar" story that appeared in both Episode 1 of our podcast, and Episode 57, our primer for new listeners. This story was our holy grail, and after 3 years we have tracked down a firsthand account of this story for confirming/debunking. It originated with a fundamentalist pastor named J. Frank Norris, who in many ways is the genesis of the IFB movement as it exists today. What's more, he had a bizarrely acute influence on Jack Hyles. He also may have been a murderer (???) But we'll get to that next week.TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear.

En el programa de hoy vamos a explorar uno de mis subgéneros del terror favoritos: el terror en alta mar. En este recorrido de más de 200 años de literatura, vamos a navegar a bordo de buques fantasmas, pasearnos por cubiertas abombadas por el salitre y la espuma de mar y otear horizontes desconocidos poblados de monstruos y terribles criaturas submarinas. La tripulación será de lo más variada: al timón, el pendenciero Jack London; Frank Norris en calidad de contramaestre; el rumbo nos lo marcara Jack Cady; la cocina será responsabilidad de H.P. Lovecraft y Edgar Allan Poe; en la enfermería nos atenderá Francis Marion Crawford; y el capitán, que velará por el destino de todas las tristes almas a bordo de este barco a aguas tenebrosa no será otro que William Hope Hodgson. Confió en que disfrutéis del programa tanto como yo he disfrutado haciéndolo.
Our Recall this Buck series, back in 2020 and 2021, explored the history of money, ranging from the earliest forms of labor IOUs to the modern world of bitcoin and electronically distributed value. We began by focusing on the rise of capitalism, the Bank of England, and how an explosion of liquidity changed everything. We were lucky to do so, just before the Pandemic struck, with Christine Desan of Harvard Law School, who recently published Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism (Oxford University Press, 2014). She is also managing editor of JustMoney.org, a website that explores money as a critical site of governance. Desan's research explores money as a legal and political project. Her approach opens economic orthodoxy to question by widening the focus on money as an instrument, to examine the institutions and agreements through which resources are mobilized and tracked, by means of money. In doing so, she shows that particular forms of money, and the markets within which they circulate, are neither natural or inevitable.

She was the first woman to be admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which was the most important architecture school of its era, as well as the first woman in California to earn an architecture license and eventually the first woman to win the American Institute of Architects' highest honor. Then there's her buildings. She's best known for Hearst Castle, but over her long career she designed hundreds of impressive structures – the Berkeley City Club, Oakland's YWCA, the Asilomar Conference Center, El Campanil at Mills College, and the list goes on and on. As a woman, Morgan didn't always get the recognition she deserved, but in more recent decades, she's been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and museum exhibits. However, a new book takes a different approach by imagining Julia's early years, as a young woman growing up in Victorian era East Bay. In “Drawing Outside the Lines,” Susan J. Austin tells the story of the architect's formative time at Oakland High School and UC Berkeley during the 1880s and 90s. The book is a work of historical fiction, but Austin spent years on research in order to make the story as realistic as possible. In this episode, Susan J. Austin discusses her favorite Julia Morgan buildings, why she thinks Julia Morgan's story will be relevant for young readers, and some of the famous figures, such as Gertrude Stein and Frank Norris, who make cameo appearances in “Drawing Outside the Lines.” To see photos related to this episode: https://eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/what-made-julia-morgan-different/ East Bay Yesterday can't survive without your support.

In this episode of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick, we examine the claim that if a writer isn't enjoying the act of writing, the reader will know it... and we declare shenanigans. Writing is hard. If, as a writer of fiction, you're enjoying the act of writing -- if it's not challenging you, pushing you, changing you -- you're not doing your best work. Let me tell you why. Listen! Links and topics mentioned in this episode include... My day job is providing a variety of creative services (like my writer's coaching service and my beginning indie author consulting) to authors, podcasters, and other creative professionals. My next book is a work of non-fiction. Pre-order Indie Author Marketing Infrastructure today, help push the book up the charts, and be among the first to read it! Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights: "How It All Got Started" is my free serial available via email subscription I mention the particularly challenging writing session that inspired the discussion that inspired this episode... the session in question became part of my novelette "The Perfumed Air at Kwaanantag Bay," a follow-up to my novel Light of the Outsider. Two examples of a reading experience well worth having even though you might not enjoy them in the usual sense of the word: Ulysses by James Joyce and Moby Dick by Herman Melville. Sometimes we want our entertainment to blatantly manipulate us. The movie Forrest Gump from director Robert Zemeckis is an example. Get to Know Your Worst Self and become a better writer and maybe even a better person. Saltine crackers. You know. Those things we use to make soup less flavorful. Frank Norris is the first to have expressed the sentiment, "I don't like writing but I love having written." Responding the question of whether writing was a chore, Red Smith first said, "Why, no. You simply sit down at the typewriter, open your veins, and bleed." Before him, Paul Gallico wrote, "It is only when you open your veins and bleed onto the page a little that you establish contact with your reader." Explore the origins of this quote.

Hey comrades! We're back with more swears, random Frankfurt School references, and messy book takes. In our Season 5 opener, UChicago PhD candidate, friend of the pod, and union organizer Josh Stadtner talks with us about Frank Norris's McTeague (1899), which is about an amateur dentist and his obsession with a concertina. We establish that Frank Norris was a frat douche and social Darwinist (yeesh), and that his having written in the late 19th/early 20th century is still not the slightest excuse for this. We talk about the scene in which a lady has some steamy naked times with a pile of money. This really happens in the novel and we did not make it up. We talk about teeth, money, the terrifying desert, and Freudian forms. We read the Norton Critical Edition with an introduction by Donald Pizer. We recommend you go back to a classic and read Georg Lukács's 1936 essay “Narrate or Describe?” to bone up on your “is naturalism good?” takes.

There is something special about the Old West. Life is the western United States for much of the 19th century was akin to living in another country, which makes sense as it was cobbled together from many diverse societies. Our next story takes place in the Great Southwest and involves a potential love triangle gone very wrong.During his short life, Frank Norris had an outsized impact on American Literature. A painter turned author, Norris travelled globally as a news correspondent writing several short stories and novels. His finest work, The Octopus was intended as the first book of a trilogy on which he was working when he died during appendicitis surgery at the age of 34.
J. Frank Norris rose to fame as the controversial fundamentalist pastor of America's first megachurch, the First Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. He used his pulpit, his newspaper and his radio station to battle his enemies in unscrupulous ways, and when one angry local businessman named Dexter Chipps marched into his office in July of 1926 to confront him about his tactics, Norris pulled out a gun and shot him dead. My guest, David R. Stokes, is an ordained minister, broadcaster and author, and he talks in detail about Norris's rise to religious stardom, his use of sensationalist sermons to attract membership, his sordid association with the Ku Klux Klan, and the dramatic courtroom spectacle that followed this infamous Texas slaying. His book is called "Apparent Danger: The Pastor of America's First Megachurch and the Texas Murder Trial of the Decade in the 1920s".

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 8, 2021 is: febrile FEB-ryle adjective : marked or caused by fever : feverish Examples: "The best news, [Michael Schwab] said, is his daughter is healthy…. Her pediatrician later said she probably had roseola, a common childhood viral infection marked by a sudden fever accompanied by a febrile seizure that is typically harmless." — Jenny Deam, The Houston (Texas) Chronicle, 27 Nov. 2020 "Continually, young men, singly or in groups, came from the doorway, wiping their lips with sidelong gestures of the hand. The whole place exhaled the febrile bustle of the saloon on a holiday morning." — Frank Norris, The Octopus, 1901 Did you know? Not too surprisingly, febrile originated in the field of medicine. We note its first use in the work of the 17th-century medical reformer Noah Biggs. Biggs used it in admonishing physicians to care for their "febrile patients" properly. Both feverish and febrile are from the Latin word for "fever," which is febris. Nowadays, febrile is used in medicine in a variety of ways, including references to such things as "the febrile phase" of an illness. And, like feverish, it also has an extended sense, as in "a febrile emotional state."
When one thinks of what religion has done to America, at least for me and I think for many of our listeners, “Baptists” come to mind – they are influential, they are large in number, and their history is very much linked to American history. If one wants to understand America, one needs to understand America's religious history – and if one needs to understand America's religious history, one must understand Baptist history. We have with us today Barry Hankins, Professor of History and Department Chair at Baylor University, who will walk us through some of the more important parts of Baptist history in the United States (focusing on post Civil War up to the present) using the fantastic book Baptists in America, written by Professor Hankins and his Baylor colleague, Professor Thomas Kidd. Dr. Hankins' research interests include religion and American culture, Protestant Fundamentalism and EvanGELicalism, and church and state in American history. He received his PhD from Kansas State University in 1990, and is the author of several books including Woodrow Wilson: Ruling Elder, Spiritual President, Jesus and Gin: Evangelicals, the Roaring Twenties, and Today's Culture Wars, and God's Rascal: J. Frank Norris and the Beginnings of Southern Fundamentalism. Also, as with each episode in our podcast series “Religion in the American Experience”, we trust that listeners will come away with a better comprehension of what religion has done to America and what America has done to religion, and thus come to value the necessity of this idea of religious freedom as a governing principle to America fulfilling her purposes in the world.

A young Beauchamp Vick, gained employment with the railroads in the Fort Worth, Texas area during the oil boom. Being a Christian, he and his young wife were drawn to the First Baptist Church of Fort Worth, under the pastorate of J. Frank Norris. Norris asked Vick to consider being his help in the church and later asked him to take the Temple Baptist Church in Detroit as Norris was called to pastor both churches. Listen along this week as we discuss the life and ministry of Beauchamp Vick.
For episode 35 of the "50 Baptist You Should Know" Series, we will discuss the ministry of J. Frank Norris.

We Shall All Be Changed! Preached by Dr. J. Frank Norris. Preached in 1945. 1 Corinthians 15:51
Romans 12:21 “Good Will Always Prevail”Summer Series: “Virtues that Can Keep Us Stable” July 12, 2020, Goodness Phyllis Dorothy James, or P.D. James as she was known professionally, was an English author of the last century who’s “claim to fame” was crime novels. She was a committed Christian, an Anglican, whose theology often surfaced in her detective novels. For example, in one interview she acknowledged how it always bothered her that murder mysteries can often function as a metaphorical narcotic that numbs us to real evils, not fictional ones, evils without and evils within, as they invite us to lose ourselves in the world of “whodunit.” In fact, she says that her own career as a writer was launched as a five-year-old when her parents read “Humpty Dumpty” to her and she immediately asked them, “Was he pushed?” “Was he pushed?” The notion of the evil forces in this world, if we are not careful, can become a consuming one, so much so that if we are not careful this infatuation with evil can discourage us and deflate us and ultimately defeat us, which is why the Bible devotes so much attention to what folk of faith must do in order to win the victory over it. Consider, for example, this teaching from the book of Romans. The book of Romans, as many of you know, is divided into two sections – a theological section and a practical section, or, as students of the New Testament refer to it, an indicative (“Since you have put right with God through your faith in Jesus Christ) and an imperative (“This is how you must live”). This twelfth chapter is the place in Paul’s letter where the attention shifts from grace to demand, or from the indicative to the imperative. Here, in this section of the letter, Paul invites his readers to be aware of the reality of evil in their world but not to be vanquished by it. That’s because as powerful as evil is, it is never as powerful as good; and whenever people confront any form of evil with good in the course of their daily lives, the good will always prevail. Thus, Paul writes to the church, “Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” What intrigues me about Paul’s teaching is how it implies that believers in Rome must have been on the verge of losing out to the evil in their midst. Otherwise, Paul would have never felt the need to give them such a stern warning. In fact, the verses that are around this twenty-first verse seem to indicate that much of the evil they were in danger of losing out to was evil that had somehow managed to worm its way into the church itself. Believers had begun to look at one another with distrust and suspicion, and that mindset then had begun to permeate the church’s witness to the world so that it was on the verge of being compromised. People were being led to ask the question, “Look at how those Christians behave. They’re no different from us. So, why should I become one?” This is how the Devil works. He is so very subtle. Instead of blatantly and openly challenging our confession of Jesus as Savior and Lord, he works to undermine it by garbing his evil intentions in just enough good to deceive us and lead us astray. Look at how Satan tempted Jesus. He quoted the Bible! A lesser person would have thought to himself, “Well, you know, you’re right; that’s what God says,” and then gone along the path Satan was inviting him to take, a broad path, which, as Jesus said, always leads to destruction. But Jesus was not a lesser person; Jesus was the Son of God. And so, seeing Satan’s sinister strategy, Jesus rejected it and opted instead for God’s path, which through his death on the cross, would lead many to life. The point is, evil is always the camouflaging of the good. Evil disguises itself in ways that we do not easily notice until it is too late. If we could see Satan coming at us, we could get out of the way or move in another direction. But because he is Lucifer, whose name means “Bearer of Light,” we find it so easy to bask in the light he brings until the evil it hides overtakes us and we are plunged into abject darkness. I know I sound like I’m trying to take the wind out of your sails this morning. Trust me, this is not the kind of preaching that I enjoy. But I am convinced, given the systemic nature of evil in our world today, which simply means that it is so hardwired into our ideologies and our institutions, our relationships and our affiliations, that it is so easy to be duped or misled by it that we never really recognize it as a problem. Think of any word that ends in “ism” and you’ll see what I mean. How then do we move beyond those things? Quite simply, in the power that faith in Jesus provides, we do good. In our ideologies we focus on the good. In our institutions we structure for the good. In our relationships we work for the good. In our affiliations we side with the good. It may be that evil is most definitely a force in this world that threatens to overcome us at every point along life’s way, but our faith in Jesus Christ enables us not just to hold evil off, but to triumph over it, to triumph over it by the means of the good that God’s grace in Jesus Christ enables us to show. Can you commit yourself to that kind of witness this morning? Can you pledge to God that you will not allow the evil that is all around us to corrupt you or conquer you? You see, in order to overcome us fully, evil needs two victories, not just one. The first victory happens when an evil deed is perpetrated, but that’s not where the real triumph of evil happens. It’s the second victory of evil that seals the deal, which is when an evil deed is not just perpetrated, but when it is returned. After the first victory, evil would die if the second one did not in some way infuse it with new life. There’s a story in the Old Testament, in the book of Genesis, that involves Joseph, the son of the patriarch Jacob, who had been sold into slavery by his own brothers and would have remained in that state if God had not been with him. But God was and Joseph knew it, to the point that in the providence of God Joseph was to rise to a position of second in the land of Egypt, only behind Pharaoh himself. You know the story of how a famine had come upon Canaan and Jacob sent his sons to Egypt to buy food, not knowing that Joseph, the son he thought he had lost long ago, was in charge of the distribution. When the brothers arrived, they did not recognize Joseph and wouldn’t have recognized him if Joseph had not revealed himself to them. When he did, the brothers were filled with fear. The evil they had done to their brother was surely now about to come back to them in spades. And certainly, Joseph would have been within his rights to seek his revenge against them. But he didn’t. He did something else. Joseph was so caught up in how God had been with him every step of the way that Joseph told his brothers, “Don’t be afraid. You thought evil against me, but God meant it unto good” (Genesis 50:19-20). You have a choice to make this morning, a choice between two things. You can choose to be overcome by the evil that everyone has to encounter at some point in life, or you can choose by means of God’s grace in Jesus Christ to be the overcomer of evil. It’s one of the two. You cannot let evil slide because you can bet your bottom dollar that evil will never let you slide. You must fight it in grace and in the battle you must either conquer or be conquered. So, which will it be? Charles Roy Angell was one of the great preachers in Southern Baptist life during the middle part of the last century. Pastor of the Central Baptist Church in Miami, Florida, Angell was recognized as a stellar illustrator of the Gospel. I’ve read many of his sermon books and he was indeed a master communicator. That’s why when the Southern Baptist Convention met in Dallas, Texas, in 1951, Angell was tapped to preach the Convention Sermon. As the story goes, when the word got out that Angell was to be the Convention Sermon preacher, almost immediately he became a target for the abuse of a demagogue pastor in Ft. Worth, named J. Frank Norris. Several years earlier, Norris shot a man in his pastor’s study, whom he claimed had threatened his life, and when the case went to trial, Norris was acquitted on the grounds of self-defense. It’s a tale worthy of a P.D. James novel. Needless to say, Norris was quite the character. So, when the time came for the Dallas Convention to begin, Norris came over from Ft. Worth, set up a platform in the park across the street from the Convention Center and began to harangue Roy Angell as an emissary of the devil. When Angell arrived in Dallas from Miami, one of the first things he did was to go down to the Convention Center early to see the room he would be speaking in that night. When he got there, he heard J. Frank Norris holding forth in the park and wandered over to hear what he was saying. You can imagine Roy Angell’s astonishment upon hearing that he was the subject of Norris’s diatribe and was being attacked as a communist and a sinner. But he stood and he listened. It was summertime in Dallas and so It began to rain, softly at first and then it really started coming down. Norris had no raincoat and was getting soaked like a wet hen. But he didn’t stop. He kept going. Roy Angell couldn’t stand to see the poor man, now in his seventies, getting pelted by the rain. So, Angell eased up on the platform beside him, removed his own raincoat, and put it around the speaker. Thirty minutes later, J. Frank Norris concluded his attack and gave the stranger back his coat. Norris never knew that the man who had loaned it to him was the very man he had been so vehemently criticizing as an agent of the devil. So, who among those two men do you think won the day? Then go and do likewise, and be not overcome by evil, but in all that you’re about, for Christ’s sake and for your own, overcome evil with good, because good will always prevail. In the end, good will always prevail. Romans 12:21

Welcome to another episode of the **Bowie Book Club**, where wild speculation and grasping for straws about Bowie’s favorite books has reigned supreme since 2016. This time we read McTeague by Frank Norris, which is surprisingly not about a rogue cop who's always getting kicked off the force and reinstated because he's just too damn good out on those streets.

Nikolai DiPippa, Clinton School Director of Public Programs, sat down with Frank Norris, a historian with the National Park Service’s National Trails Office. We discussed the Green Book on the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program. The Green Book was created by Victor H. Green, a postal service worker from Harlem New York. He began publishing the guide in 1936 to help African Americans avoid, as he put it, embarrassing moments after motorists started exploring long distance motorways including Route 66, the nation’s first transcontinental highway
