ontext: Exposing the "Buttercup" Church, False Teachers, and the Truth About Biblical LoveEver notice how modern Christianity has fabricated a version of "love" where no one ever gets corrected, disciplined, or told they're out of line?In this video, Coach Shelby sits down—just four weeks out from his shoulder surgery and wearing his protective weight-room strap—to deliver a hard-hitting message on spiritual authority and biblical boundaries. Digging into the scrolls of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John, Coach tackles how the modern church has grown lazy because we rely too heavily on chapter and verse numbers instead of reading the Bible in its true, raw context.John wasn't writing a generic letter; he was dealing with an aggressive group of false teachers who were splitting the early church by claiming Jesus never actually came in a real "dirt suit." Coach exposes the danger of these ancient doctrines and shows how they've manifested today in a "syrupy sweet" theology that refuses to protect the flock. Just like a good coach has to be tough on his athletes because he loves them, leadership in the body of Christ demands clear correction. We are commanded to guard our pulpits, our small groups, and even our homes from those who reject sound doctrine. It's time to stop letting the world dictate our standards, test the fruit of those who claim to lead, and step up to our spiritual responsibilities.Classroom Highlights:The Post-Surgery Reality: Why Coach is wearing his protective gear in the gym and the aggressive handshake that forced him to keep it on.Lazy Reading Habits: How relying on chapters and verses has caused believers to miss the original flow and intent of the authors.The Dirt-Suit Heresy: Breaking down the specific false teachers John was fighting who denied that Jesus came in a real human body.The Fabricated Love Trap: Why a theology with zero discipline, correction, or pain is a completely false representation of God's heart.Guarding the Teaching Circle: Why pastors, supervisors, and CEOs have an obligation to keep unvetted, fruit-free novices out of leadership roles.Scriptures Studied:2 John 1:10 – If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him.1 Corinthians 5:5 – Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved.Proverbs 12:1 – Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.#WordTime #CoachShelby #1John #BiblicalContext #TestingTheSpirits #SoundDoctrine #FalseTeachers #ChurchLeadership #ToughLoveChapters0:00 - Intro: Tying 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John Together0:21 - The Lazy Reader Trap: Missing the Original Intent of the Scrolls0:52 - The Flesh-Suit Heresy: Exposing the Ancient Deception1:15 - Once Saved, Always Saved?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dylan Bolton shares a testicular cancer journey that quickly turned into a fight for his life. In his early 30s, with a wife and two young daughters, Dylan noticed swelling in his testicle that continued to grow until he finally sought medical attention. Within days, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and underwent an orchiectomy.Dylan began treatment for a non-seminoma germ cell tumor with EP chemotherapy, but midway through, his condition took a devastating turn. What started as standard cancer treatment escalated into severe complications, including sepsis and gangrene, leaving him hospitalized in critical condition. At one point, his family was called in to say goodbye.After the road blocks were resolved, despite only completing part of his chemotherapy, follow-up testing showed no evidence of active cancer. Dylan later underwent a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Now in recovery, Dylan is navigating the physical and emotional aftermath—including significant weight loss and the challenge of redefining what survivorship means after such a traumatic experience.This episode highlights the importance of recognizing testicular cancer symptoms, the realities of chemotherapy complications, and the unpredictable nature of cancer journeys. Dylan's story is a powerful reminder that survivorship isn't always linear—and sometimes the hardest battles go far beyond cancer itself.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyJoin The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Gangrene, Gas Coolers & Back Pain: CO₂ Rack Chaos, Bitzer Secrets, and a Venturi “Ejector” TowerTwo exhausted hosts swap war stories from nonstop construction and CO₂ remodels: one is forced back to Pennsylvania after his father's death to handle the estate, a rejected body donation due to gangrene, and unexpected cremation costs, while the other throws out his back wrestling a 24-foot coffin case packed with ice and fights sticking three-way drain valves dumping water. With no guest, they riff on training Kroger techs, calibration and control quirks on older Microthermal/Advancer CO₂ stores, and a little-known Bitzer service-valve center plate that directs suction gas toward the head or the windings—impacting cooling, floodback tolerance, and motor protector trips.

During the Akashvani live phone-in programme “Hello Doctor,” Dr. Sunil Gupta discussed various complications of diabetes and explained that the condition can affect almost every organ in the body. He highlighted that one of the most common and serious complications is diabetic neuropathy, a gradual damage to the nerves that develops over the natural course of the disease. Dr. Sunil Gupta explained that neuropathy usually begins in the nerves of the feet and hands. Common symptoms include burning sensation, tingling, numbness, reduced sensation, slippers slipping off while walking without noticing, and unrecognized wounds. This condition is considered a “high-risk foot” state. If poor blood circulation is also present (neuro-ischemic foot), wound healing becomes difficult and, in severe cases, may lead to gangrene. He also emphasized that diabetes affects both small and large blood vessels (microvascular and macrovascular disease), thereby impacting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and feet.

A Sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany St. Matthew 8:1-13 by William Klock Have you ever met someone with leprosy? Probably not. Today it's extremely rare. We hardly give it a thought. But in the ancient world it was one of the most dreaded diseases. It began with the loss of feeling in your extremities and nodules that would turn into ulcers. The loss of feeling spread. The ulcers never healed. Your hair would fall out and your eyes would go blind. Ulcers would form on your vocal cords, leaving your voice hoarse and rasping. Gangrene would set in. Eventually you would lose fingers and toes and sometimes whole limbs. Sometimes it led to madness. Eventually it would lead to death, but not quickly. Some forms of leprosy would take a decade to run their course and others twenty or thirty years. But as bad, if not worse than the physical misery was the fact that it was contagious. That made lepers outcasts. The Jewish historian Josephus tells us that lepers were treated “as if they were, in effect, dead men”. When a person was diagnosed with leprosy, they were immediately banished from family and community. In Leviticus 13:46 the Lord had commanded, “He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp.” And people didn't get better from leprosy. That's why it was a miracle when the Lord intervened to heal Naaman the Syrian of his leprosy. Consider that in medieval Europe, before he was cast out, a leper was brought to the church one last time so the priest could read the burial service over him. So to be a leper was, for all intents and purposes, to be dead. Not, of course, to yourself, but dead to your family, your friends, and your community. In Israel lepers were barred from Jerusalem and from any walled town or city. The law described over sixty types of contact that would render a person unclean and contact with a leper was second only to contact with a dead body. If a leper so much as poked his head through the door of your house, your house would be rendered unclean. One rabbi boasted that he threw stones at lepers to keep them at a distance, because that's where they belonged. Keep that in mind as we look again at today's Gospel. Look with me at Matthew 8:1-4. When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him. Suddenly a leper came to him and knelt down in front of him. “Lord,” he said, “if you want, you can make me clean!” Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him. “I do want to,” he said. “Be clean!” And at once his leprosy was cleansed. “Take care,” Jesus said to him, “that you don't say anything to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and make the offering which Moses commanded. That will be the proof to them.” For the last three chapters Jesus has been preaching the Sermon on the Mount. So he's been preaching to the crowds about the kingdom of God—what it's going to be like and who's going to be part of it. And I can imagine the people in the crowd nodding in approval as they listened—but the real weight of it not really sinking in. It's often like that when he hear God's word. Something like “Love your neighbour.” We agree. We think, “Oh, that's good.” But the real radicalness of it doesn't sink in. And then something happens—we're faced with a choice, we encounter a person—and the Spirit brings that lesson to mind and we realise just how much God and the gospel expect of us. Sometimes we fail the test. Imagine the crowd that had been listening to Jesus preach, now following him into town and this leper approaches Jesus. And everything Jesus has been saying about the kingdom is forgotten. People are thinking, “Stupid leper! Doesn't he know he shouldn't be here! How dare he come so close to the rabbi!” They've just heard Jesus preaching at length about the kingdom, but I expect at least some of them saw the leper and were thinking to themselves that if Jesus were a good rabbi, he would tell this man to take a hike—to obey torah and get out of town—maybe even throw rocks at him. Imagine their surprise when instead of quoting Leviticus at the man and telling him to get lost, Jesus stops as the man kneels at his feet. That says something right there. When this leper saw Jesus he saw the Messiah. Jews didn't prostrate themselves before any old person. This posture was reserved for the Lord. In some way, shape, or form he saw in Jesus the God of Israel. And with his hoarse and damaged voice he rasps out, “Lord, if you want, you can make me clean! Please make me clean.” And to their horror, Jesus reaches out and touches the man. The law said that a leper could come no closer to a healthy person than a cubit and Matthew makes a point describing Jesus reaching out, stretching out his arm to its full length across that distance to bridge the gap between himself and the leper, so that he could make contact with him, to touch the untouchable, to draw in the outcast. And Jesus says to him, “I want just that. Be clean.” Uncleanness should have passed from the leper to Jesus. Obviously you couldn't see something like that, but everyone knew that that was the law, ever since the Lord had spoken it through Moses. Touch a leper and you become unclean. So imagine their surprise when they did see something happen. They saw cleanness pass from Jesus to the leper. As they watched the man was healed. His sores healed and disappeared. His sight cleared. His voice became whole again. Maybe fingers and toes even grew back before their watching eyes. The leprosy was gone. The man was restored. His death sentence was lifted. Now, the sermon on the mount wasn't just an abstract ethical manifesto that Jesus delivered to a group of people who could have been from anywhere or any time. It was a declaration that the kingdom of God had come in fulfilment of the prophets, a declaration that the Messiah had finally come to set God's people to rights. They desperately need and longed for that. Ever since they had been called in Abraham, ever since they had, as a nation, been adopted by the Lord as his covenant people, they had in one way or another failed him and failed to be the people he had called and delivered them to be. They gave their hearts to idols. They gave their hearts to kings. They put their trust in horses and chariots. They oppressed the widow and the orphan and took advantage of the poor and the stranger. Their rabbis threw stones at lepers who dared get too close. The nation had repeatedly known the Lord's discipline. The faithful remnant amongst the people had cried out for centuries to the Lord for help and through the prophets he had promised that he would come, that he would deliver, that he would forgive, that he would put his own Spirit in the hearts of his people and turn them away from sin and self and fill them with love for him and for their neighbours. And now, here it is. There's a reason we read this Gospel during this season in which we recall and celebrate Jesus' epiphany, his manifestation. Jesus has just preached about the restoration of fallen Israel, the adulterous bride, to her Lord and the first person he meets as he heads down the mountain and into town is this poor man, cut off from his people, for all intents and purposes dead. He has lost his covenant status. He has lost his family—not just his biological family, but his covenant family. He hasn't known the temple or the Passover for who knows how many years. In the Lord's providence this man is symbolic of the whole nation of Israel. Israel hadn't heard the Lord's voice or known his presence in the temple for almost six hundred years. She was governed and oppressed by pagans. But as he has humbled himself so far as to take on human flesh, to be born of a Jewish woman, to become one of his own rebellious people, to reach out to them, just so Jesus stretches out his hand across the distance between himself and this believing leper and makes him whole. This lost son who was dead is alive again. And Jesus doesn't leave it at that. He sends this man—in accordance with the law—to see the priest so that the priest can see that he has been healed and so that he can restore him to the covenant family. There are other times in the Gospels that Jesus bypassed the temple and the priests to make a point, but early here in his ministry he instead sends this man to the priests. It backs up the message he had just preached when he said that he had come not to abolish the law and the prophets, but to fulfil them. And, too, it sent a message to the priests of Israel. Like I said, people didn't recover form leprosy. If they got better and the diagnosis was lifted by a priest, it was probably because it wasn't leprosy in the first place. I doubt this priest had ever seen a bona fide healing from leprosy. They might talk about Naaman the Syrian, but no one had ever seen a healing like that for themselves. And now this man shows up at the home of the local priest—maybe even the priest who had diagnosed him and declared him unclean—and he served as a message from Jesus: the kingdom is at hand. Israel was about to be set to rights and restored. And it was all centred in Jesus the Messiah. The people—and their priests—had a choice before them: Repent and believe in Jesus or find yourself weeping and gnashing your teeth in the darkness when judgement comes—on the outside of the covenant family as this leper had been for so many years. Repent and believe that in Jesus the Lord was finally here to visit his people, to answer their prayer, and these lost sons and daughters would be invited into their Father's great banquet. Jesus had come to set Israel to rights. Many of the people in the crowd watched this with joy. The Messiah really had come. That great feast Israel had been waiting for was being prepared. According to one Jewish tradition the main courses at that feast would be Behemoth, the great mythical land monster, and Leviathan, the great sea monster. Some in the crowd, having heard Jesus preach and having seen the leper healed could already smell the great beasts roasting in the oven like Thanksgiving turkeys. And then as they reach Capernaum a Roman centurion approaches Jesus. If the Lord's great banquet was being prepared, this man certainly didn't belong there! Centurions were the backbone of the Roman army and a reminder to the Jews that they were a conquered people. Matthew doesn't tell us if this centurion was a kind man or a cruel one or how he used his authority. None of that really matters. He could have been the kindest man in the world, but he was still a local representative of Rome and a gentile. He didn't belong in that joyful messianic throng. But down the main street of the town he came. Look at Matthew 8:5-9. When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came up and pleaded with him, “Lord,” he said, “my son is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion replied, “Lord, I don't deserve to have you come under my roof! Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. I know what authority is all about, you know—I've got soldiers answering to me, and I can say to one of them, “Go!” and he goes, and to another “Come here!” and he comes, and I can say, “Do this,” to my slave, and he does it.” The centurion appeals to Jesus. Matthew's word choices stress the man's desperation. He addresses Jesus as “Lord”. He'd surely heard the talk about Jesus being the Jewish Messiah—the Lord—but being a Roman he probably didn't care about that. He simply knew that Jesus could heal, that he could fix his desperate situation. He'd heard the stories. Maybe he'd even seen the leper, running into town to show himself to the priest. Exactly who or what Jesus was, that wasn't really his concern. He simply saw in Jesus a man with power and authority. A man who could, as Tolkien once put it, make the sad things of this world come untrue, and such a man, Jewish or not, Messiah or not, was worthy of respect. “Lord, my son is at home, paralysed, sick, and suffering.” As Luke and John tell this story, the young boy was near death. But if Jesus could heal others, he could heal this man's son. And Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” At this point everyone—the Centurion, the Jewish crowd following Jesus, everyone—they stopped and gasped. They shouldn't have, but I'm sure they did, because that would have been the natural response of anyone when an upright and godly Jew—a rabbi no less—went to the house of a gentile. The Mishnah declared in no uncertain terms, “The dwelling places of gentiles are unclean,” and even though it came centuries later, we know the Jews of Jesus day thought no differently. Gentiles were ritually unclean, but everyone present should have known that this wasn't a problem for Jesus. Jesus touched the leper and instead of contracting his impurity, passed purity to the leper, restoring him to the community of the people of God. Jesus could enter the home of a gentile and do the same thing. So the Centurion was shocked by Jesus' offer to come to his house. He refuses with those words so often misused in celebrations of the Lord's Supper: “No. Don't come to my house. I'm not worthy that you should come under my roof.” It's not that the Centurion thought he was personally unworthy, but that he knew the Jewish customs. His job was to maintain order and the last thing he wanted was a ruckus resulting from a popular rabbi entering his house. That would just stir up trouble and that was the last thing a Centurion wanted. His job was to the keep the peace. And so he says to Jesus, “You don't need to come to my house. You and I are alike. We both have authority. I know how it works. I have authority over the men in my command. I send orders for this man to come and he comes. I send orders for this man to go and he goes. If you truly have the authority over sickness and demons that I think you have, then you can do the same. If you order this disease to go, it will go. If you order that demon to come, it will come. Give the orders and my little boy will be healed.” Now it was Jesus' turn to be surprised. Matthew says he marvelled. He was amazed by what he'd just heard. Look at verse 10: When Jesus heard this, he marvelled and said to the people who following him, “I'm telling you the truth. I haven't found faith like this—not even in Israel! Let me tell you this: lots of people will come from east and west and join the great feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom will be thrown into outer darkness, where people will weep and gnash their teeth.” Then to the Centurion he said, “Go home. Let it be for you as you believed.” And his son was healed at that very moment. Notice how Jesus turns to the crowd, to his fellow Jews. Here they are, following Jesus down the mountain, ready for him to lead them into the age to come when everything is set to rights, ready to sit in his presence at that great banquet and feast on behemoth and leviathan. And the parade is stopped by this dog of a gentile who has no place in that feast. When the day comes, they're thinking, the Lord will take care of men like him. He may strut around Capernaum, in charge of the place today, but one day he would be out in the darkness, weeping and gnashing his teeth. Some probably thought—maybe even expected—Jesus to give him a little foretaste of that right now. But instead, Jesus turns and commends the man's faith to everyone. (This is why people didn't like Jesus!) He contrasts the faith of this gentile—a pagan they considered the enemy—Jesus uses it to expose the lack of faith he has seen in Israel. And he quotes from the Old Testament. Psalm 107:3 and Isaiah 43:5 (and Baruch 4:37) all speak of the Lord's promises to restore scattered Israel, bringing her lost sons and daughters from east and west. But here Jesus puts a twist on those prophecies and promises. “When Israel is restored,” he's saying, “When you sit at the Lord's great feast with your fathers, with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and feast on behemoth and leviathan and celebrate your restoration and the great faithfulness of the Lord, your brothers and sisters from east and west will be there, and this man represents them. Yes, the Lord will bring Jews from east and west, but he will bring others and they, too, will have a share in the Lord's new covenant and in the age to come. And many of those who think that by birth alone they have a right to be in that banquet…well…they will find themselves out in the dark, weeping and gnashing their teeth.” Jesus knew that it wasn't yet the time for gentiles to come flooding into the kingdom, taking hold of the robes of Jews, as Zechariah had prophesied, and saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” But in this centurion he saw a foretaste of that day not so far off. It was a promise most of his fellow Jews had forgotten—or deliberately ignored—in favour of the promises of the great banquet, the setting things to rights, the restoration of Israel. But this was the reason for Israel's existence as a people, even if few remembered it. Simeon was one of those who remembered and having met the infant Jesus at his presentation in the temple he sang those familiar words: Lord, now lettest thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou has prepared before the face of all people; to be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel. (Luke 2:29-32) Jesus would be the glory of Israel in that he would fulfil their mission to be a light to the nations—bringing them to the God of Israel. In that he would fulfil the law and the prophets and manifest the faithfulness of God. Again that great theme of epiphany. Jesus commended the centurion's faith and sent him home to his healed little boy, the firstfruits—after a fashion at any rate—of the nations who would see the faithfulness of the God of Israel manifest in Jesus, come to him in faith to give him glory, and would themselves not only be healed and set to rights, but incorporated into this covenant family as sons and daughters of God, seated at the great banquet to feast on behemoth and leviathan. So, Brothers and Sisters, come to the Lord's Table this morning. In the bread and wine we recall and participate in the great exodus that Jesus wrought at the cross, here we remember and are assured that we belong to him. Here we take hold of his blood-stained robe and say, “Take us with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” And here the veil is lifted on the age to come as Jesus gives us a foretaste of the great banquet that awaits us on the day when he will, finally and once and for all, set us and all of his creation to rights. In the meantime, Friends, take the grace you have found at his Table out into the world and live it for all to see. Take the good news of Jesus, crucified and risen, with you and proclaim it to all. As sons and daughters of God, you are stewards of the gospel. Let every day be Epiphany. Make the Gospel, make the life of Jesus and the Spirit manifest in what you do and what you say so that the people around you will say, “Take us with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Let's pray: O God, you know us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright: grant to us such strength and protection as may support us in all dangers and carry us through all temptations; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Horror hosts emerged nationwide after Vampira burst onto the late night Los Angeles television scene in 1954. In 1971, Nashville's WSM-TV launched their own with Creature Feature Saturday hosted by Sir Cecil Creape. Decades later on July 1, 1999, Larry Underwood, inspired by the legendary Creape, created his Dr. Gangrene alter-ego and produced his first episode of Chiller Cinema.Today we welcome the physician of fright Dr. Gangrene and Horror Host Hall of Famer Underwood to tell us about the history of Nashville horror hosts, the Gangrene origin story, and Underwood's fascination with monsters, fear, and the horror host genre of cornball humor.This episode was produced by Khalil Ekulona and Elizabeth Burton.GUEST Larry Underwood | Actor, writer, producer Dr. Gangrene | TV horror movie host
The tyranny of the hunt will take you by surprise, and so will the origins of this track! We have deep background on the lyrics of this track thanks to some interviews around the time of record release, as well as our recent episode with Les, Brain, and Soya. Who knew the gangrenous penis would become the stuff of legend? (Me. I knew.) The music is well-structured, with some inspired breaks among the stop-start verses, and Buckethead shows his versatility throughout.

Time to get strapped in for this week's ZFG speedrun. Ok, to be fair, it's probably not our best choice of phrasing to use ‘strapped in' with Harvey Weinstein at the top of this week's episode. However, the good news for any of his jailhouse prey is that karma has come in the form of a gangrenous d*ck. Carson then weighs in on the recent passage of a bill to force the sale of TikTok. While the data collection aspect is one area of concern, Carson highlights the psychological warfare being waged on behalf of the CCP. Or, as Freddy states, “About f*cking time!” South Korea demonstrates that, once again, they have little imagination for cracking down on fraudulent actors. So, of course, regulators are finding new ways to combat “illegal short selling.” Speaking of short sellers, Trump Media's CEO Devin Nunes has been bitch slapped by a formal statement from Citadel. Unlike South Korea, B. Riley Financial has a found a rather unique way in finding buyers for its bonds. And given the ZFG commitment to bringing our viewers the hardest-hitting footage of world events, Freddy closes out with a glimpse at how the people of Tel Aviv are handling the ongoing chaos.

Content warning for discussion of genocide. Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 7 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 6 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. Speaking of weeks, we've finally hit our first week! Get it? This is episode 7, the episodes are called Days. There are 7 Days in a Week… I'm funny dammit! I've got something special for you starting at the end of Week 1. It's a new segment I'm going to call the Alchemist's Table. Every Day I'm going to be sharing with you a cocktail recipe that I have invented. If you enjoy a nice cocktail and you aren't driving to work feel free to make yourself one before sitting down for the rest of the episode. For Day 7 we're going to be enjoying the first cocktail I ever created. It's called A Taste of Spring. It starts with 2 oz of Gin, I prefer gunpowder gin, but a London Dry will work just fine. Followed by 1 oz of elderflower liquor, 1 oz of lavender syrup, stir for about 30 seconds in ice before straining into a rocks glass over ice. And that, my friends, is a Taste of Spring. Enjoy. Anyway, it's time to head back to the West, and for this episode we have to travel back in time to the 5th century BCE for the Siege of Melos during the Peloponnesian War. IN a modern historical context we look at the Peloponnesian War as being between Sparta and Athens, and while this isn't technically wrong, it's also not as right as it could be. The Peloponnesian War was fought between the Delian League, which was a confederacy of various Greek city-states with Atens in supreme control. The Delian League was created as a defensive alliance against the Persian Empire following the Second Persian Invasion of Greece (this is the invasion that included the famed Battle of Thermopylae). And the Peloponnesian League which was less a league and more an ancient world version of the Warsaw Pact, with Sparta (then called Lacadeamon) at the head with its various allied city states. See, around 550 BCE SParta got tired of having to conquer everyone and instead offered to NOT conquer them if they joined the League. The Delian League got its name from the island of Delos where they would meet and where their treasury was held before being moved to Athens in 454 BCE. The Peloponnesian League got IT'S name from the peninsula at the southern tip of Greece, which is known as the Peloponnese Peninsula. The Peloponnesian League is something of a misnomer as its membership was not limited to that area of Greece. But, I ramble, and so let us return to the Peloponnesian War. Why did Sparta and Athens, erstwhile allies against Xerxes I and the Persian Empire decide to go to war with each other? The period between the Second Persian Invasion of Greece and the Peloponnesian War is sometimes known as the Pentecontaetia, a term which means “a period of 50 years” which refers to the 48 year period between 479 and 431 BCE. The Pentecontaetia saw the rise of Athens as one of the most prominent Greek City States, it saw the rise of Athenian democracy, and it saw the rise of tensions between Sparta and Athens. You can look at this period as somewhat similar to the rising tensions between Rome and Carthage. Sparta HAD been the most powerful Greek city-state, and now suddenly they had a rival and didn't like that. Sparta was the Sasuke to Athens Naruto, the Vegeta to Athen's Goku. Following the flight of the Persian armies from Greece Athens began to rebuild the great walls around their city that had been lost to the Persian armies. Sparta, upon learning about this construction, asked them not to do that. But Athens rebuffed them, not wanting to put Athens effectively under the control of Sparta's massive army. Another way we can view Athens and Sparta through the lens of Carthage and Rome is that Athens was vastly superior at sea, and Sparta was vastly superior on land, just as Carthage and Rome were, respectively. I'm taking bets now on who is going to win this war, assuming you don't already know. These tensions, which were further exacerbated by a helot revolt within Sparta would explode, though not terribly violently, during a 15 year conflict known as the First Peloponnesian War. This first war would end with the signing of the Thirty Years Peace treaty. This treaty, which would only last for 15 years, would solidify the Athenian and Spartan Empires and would cement Athens as a true powerhouse in the Aegean Sea. Conflict between Athens and Corinth, a member of the Peloponnesian League, is what ultimately led to war. Athens and Corinth effectively fought a brief proxy war over control of the Corinthian colony of Potidea. Corinth, outraged that Athens had encouraged one of its colonies to rebel against their authority, urged Sparta to call a conclave to try and arbitrate peace as was stipulated under the Thirty Years Peace. The Spartan King Archidamus II urged the Spartan magistrates (known as ephor) and the citizen assembly known as the ecclesia not to go to war, but in the end the assembly determined that Athens, in urging Potidea to rebel against one of their allies and then aiding them in the fight for the city had broken the Peace and war was officially declared in 431 BCE. The Second Peloponnesian War had begun. The Second Peloponnesian War, often known as just the Peloponnesian War, can be broken up into three distinct segments. The Archidamian War, The Sicilian Expedition, and the Decelean War. The first 10 years of the war are sometimes also called the Ten Years War. Sparta was, almost entirely, a land based empire. The Spartan Army was the most feared and one of the best trained armies of the ancient world. Their hoplites and their phalanxes were nearly invincible. Meanwhile Athens had the same prestige on the waves. The Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE, though discussed far less frequently than the concurrent Battle of Thermopylae, is no less impressive a feat of military genius. So the Spartan strategy during the beginning of the war was to march its armies to the land around the city state of Athens and seize them. This caused many Athenian farmers to abandon their farms and retreat behind Athens famous Long Walls. The Long Walls were fortified walls that connected Athens' main city to its ports at Piraeus and Phaleron. So despite the loss of farmland around Athens itself, this siege did basically nothing. Sparta was also only able to keep troops on the field for a few weeks at a time, as the hoplites were still needed to harvest their own fields and troops were always needed to keep the helots in line. The longest siege of the Ten Years War was only 40 days. Meanwhile Athens stayed in the Aegean Sea with their fleet, avoiding any open warfare with the Spartans who were unable to breach their walls anyway. The Athenians had great successes in their early naval battles, including the Battle of Naucaptus where 20 Athenian ships went up against 77 Peloponnesian ships and emerged victorious. Of course, all of Athen's momentum would come to a screeching and screaming halt when th plague hit in 430 BCE. The Plague of Athens was an interesting facet of the war. While some Athenians believed that the Spartans were the cause of the plague, evidenced they said by the fact that the Spartans were unaffected by it, but Thucydides, author the the famous History of the Peloponnesian War was in the city when the plague hit. He even contracted it and survived his illness. Thucydides says that the plague came from Ethiopia as it appeared to have entered Athens along the Long Wall from the port of Piraeus. There's not much in the way of evidence regarding WHAT exactly the plague was, although Thucydides listed out a large number of symptoms that victims experienced including: Fever, Redness and inflammation in the eyes, Sore throats leading to bleeding and bad breath, Sneezing, Loss of voice, Coughing, Vomiting, Pustules and ulcers on the body, Extreme thirst, Insomnia, Diarrhea, Convulsions, and Gangrene. Modern epidemiologists and paleopathologists believe, based on extensive examination of all the available evidence that the plague was likely either smallpox or typhus, although it's unlikely that we'll ever know for certain. The plague had a massive impact on the course of the war. For one, it killed Pericles, the Athenian statesman and strategos of the Athenian military. It also killed over 30,000 people, made foreign mercenaries unwilling to aid Athens, no matter how much they were offered as they did not want to risk getting sick, the plague even halted any Spartan military action in Attica until it was finished as the Spartans also feared the disease. Even with the loss of Pericles Athens continued to have success on sea as well as on land through the efforts of their commanders Demosthenes and Cleon. They started to put cracks in the Spartan armies image of invincibility until the Spartans captured Amphipolis, a silver mine that supplied much of the Athenian war chest in 424 BCE. In 422 a great battle was fought at Amphipolis which saw both Cleon, and the Spartan general Brasidas killed. The loss of these military commanders would see Athens and Sparta sit down to try and negotiate peace. The Peace of Nicias would be a failure from the very start. Despite it, nominally, declaring peace between Sparta and Athens, despite PoWs being exchanged and control over territories ceded back to those who originally owned them, the Peace of Nicias was something of a joke. Sparta and Athens entered something of a Cold War. They didn't fight against each other specifically, but Athens spent a LOT of time trying to stir up helot revolts and encourage Spartan allies to revolt against them in order to gain greater autonomy under Athenian democracy. Something that is interesting to note, is that despite the single largest land battle of the Peloponnesian War taking place in 418 BCE, the Peace wasn't formally abandoned, and war declared again between Athens and Sparta until 214 BCE. The Battle of Mantinea was fought between Sparta and some of its Arcadian allies on one side, and the combined might of Argos, Athens, Mantinea and various Arcadian allies of Argos. The battle, which involved nearly 20,000 troops combined, ended with a Spartan victory and saw a reversal of previous trends. After the Spartan loss at the Battle of Pylos in 425 BCE many began to think of the Spartans as weak and cowardly, but Mantinea reversed that thinking very quickly. The Siege of Melos, the true subject of this episode, also took place during the Peace of Nicias. Athenian aggression against Melos began about 10 years before the Siege. Melos was a small island about 68 miles off the Eastern coast of Greece. Small islands, due to their reliance on navies, were generally allies of Athens who had uncontested control of the seas. Melos though, decided to remain neutral. They were ethnically Dorian, same as the Spartans (the Athenians were ethnically Ionian). In 425 Athens demanded that Melos pay them a 15 talents (about 390 kgs) of silver. Melos refused. They were determined to remain neutral (although there is pretty good evidence that they donated 20 minas (about 12.5 kgs) of silver to the Spartan war effort. In 216 BCE Athens once again went to Melos and demanded that Melos join the Delian League and pay tribute. Melos again refused. Thucydides wrote a dramatization of conversation between Athenian embassies and the leaders of Melos in his Histories (Book 5, Chapters 84–116). The Melian Dialogue is one of the earliest events I learned about during undergrad when I took a class on the History of Just War. I need to go off on a slight tangent here. When I took this class there was this one guy, whose name I never learned. He was jacked as hell and always showed up to class double fisting iced coffees from Starbucks. Now this class was built around a questionL “Is there such a thing as a Just War?”, but apparently this dude never read the syllabus because about 3 weeks into class he asks “When are we gonna get to the battles?” See, he thought it was History of Just War, just meaning only. He thought it was a military history class, not a class on moral philosophy seen through the context of war. I'm pretty sure he got an A though… Anyway, back to Melos. It's unlikely that the conversation Thucydides wrote out is how it played out in real life, though given the Athenian love of oration and speeches, he's probably not TOO far off the mark. I'm going to read you a part of the Melian Dialogue: Athenians. For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. Melians. As we think, at any rate, it is expedient- we speak as we are obliged, since you enjoin us to let right alone and talk only of interest- that you should not destroy what is our common protection, the privilege of being allowed in danger to invoke what is fair and right, and even to profit by arguments not strictly valid if they can be got to pass current. And you are as much interested in this as any, as your fall would be a signal for the heaviest vengeance and an example for the world to meditate upon. Athenians. The end of our empire, if end it should, does not frighten us: a rival empire like Lacedaemon, even if Lacedaemon was our real antagonist, is not so terrible to the vanquished as subjects who by themselves attack and overpower their rulers. This, however, is a risk that we are content to take. We will now proceed to show you that we are come here in the interest of our empire, and that we shall say what we are now going to say, for the preservation of your country; as we would fain exercise that empire over you without trouble, and see you preserved for the good of us both. Melians. And how, pray, could it turn out as good for us to serve as for you to rule? Athenians. Because you would have the advantage of submitting before suffering the worst, and we should gain by not destroying you. Melians. So that you would not consent to our being neutral, friends instead of enemies, but allies of neither side. Athenians. No; for your hostility cannot so much hurt us as your friendship will be an argument to our subjects of our weakness, and your enmity of our power. Melians. Is that your subjects' idea of equity, to put those who have nothing to do with you in the same category with peoples that are most of them your own colonists, and some conquered rebels? Athenians. As far as right goes they think one has as much of it as the other, and that if any maintain their independence it is because they are strong, and that if we do not molest them it is because we are afraid; so that besides extending our empire we should gain in security by your subjection; the fact that you are islanders and weaker than others rendering it all the more important that you should not succeed in baffling the masters of the sea. See, Athens refused to allow Melos to remain neutral because they believed that, if they allowed this small, weak nation to live independent of their might that they would soon find themselves overrun with rebellion as all others would see Athens let Melos go free and see Athens as weak, as if they somehow feared fighting Melos. So, pragmatically, it would be better for them to kill all the Melians to maintain their image as strong than it would be for them to simply leave Melos be. Despite their claim to democracy, Athens was very much of the opinion that might made right. The strong take what they can and the weak suffer as they must. This was, more or less the beginning of Just War theory, as it was one of the first time that justice, fairness, and rightness was discusses in the context of war. Just War Theory, by the way, is generally made up of three elements. Jus ad bellum, do you have just reasons for going to war? Jus in bello, is your conduct during war just? And a more modern addition, jus post bellum, is your conduct after the war is over also just? Melos, ultimately, refused to surrender to Athens and, indeed, tried to fight against their armies and ultimately failed. The siege lasted from summer of 416 until the winter and ended with Melos surrendering. Athens, in a very Genghis Khan esque move decided to kill every adult man on Melos and sell all of the women and children into slavery. This form of genocide where one particular gender is targeted is common in old world genocides. Very often it is the men, those who could join opposing militaries who would be targeted for the slaughter although Shaka Zulu was infamous for killing all the women and folding the men into his armed forces during his conquests. The genocide of Melos wasn't an attempt to wipe out an ethnicity, Melians being Dorian just like the Spartans. It WAS, however, intended to destroy the people of Melos, and it succeeded. The Peloponnesian War would continue until 404 BCE and would end with a Spartan victory, partially through aid gained from the Achaemenid Dynasty from Persia and some from Alcibiades of Athens, but the war isn't the important part and so we will ignore the final 12 years of it.

Another damn good show ruined by a terrible show. The crew discusses the band Ween. The boys incoherently break down the Red Bull Rampage lineup. Rob further explains life as an active Jewish synagogue member. Jimmy is keen on Dean's gangrene ween during the Baiku. The Zoomers suggest new nicknames for JP/Uncle Touchy. Rob's producer skills are called into question again when the Zoom room keeps randomly turning off and on and recording on its own. Support this stupidity on Patreon.

Today we're going to talk about how certain skin conditions can help you identify if someone has diabetes. High blood glucose affects the skin both directly and indirectly. Insulin, a hormone that helps lower glucose, can also affect the skin. When you have high blood glucose, you'll typically also have high insulin and insulin resistance, at least in the beginning. Skin conditions that can be related to high insulin: 1. Acanthosis nigricans 2. Skin tags 3. Digital sclerosis 4. Acne 5. Baker's cysts Skin conditions that can be related to high blood sugar: 1. Petechiae and purpura 2. Gangrene 3. Ulcers in the legs or feet 4. Swollen red eyelids The best remedies for skin conditions related to diabetes: • Get on the Healthy Keto® diet • Do intermittent fasting • Consume one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed in water a few times a day • Take berberine DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5336429/ https://ojs.library.queensu.ca https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2410097/
Most people have probably heard of gangrene, a condition that causes tissue to become necrotic. But Fournier's Gangrene is a more . . . targeted version, specifically affecting the perineum, or taint. Justin and Dr. Sydnee discuss who Dr. Fournier was and how he (deservedly or not) put his name on this very specific infection.Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/
Why in a barrel, though? And a record-breaking attempt turns into a mystery. JG tells us the history of “going over Niagara” and Kat asks questions regarding the lost L'Oiseau Blanc. It's BOX494 and it's doing what had to be done, living under the gun. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
