This week in our Light of the World series, we move from being obviously transformed by the light to walking in it. Psalm 119 reminds us, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” God's Word doesn't always show us the whole road ahead. It often only lights the next step. But we can walk with confidence because we know who the Light is: Jesus! That same Light still shines in our lives today, guiding our steps through His Word and Spirit. Join us as we explore what it means to walk in the light of Jesus, one step, one degree of glory, at a time. Psalm 119:105-112 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 Matthew 4:18-22

This week's EYE ON NPI is as mysterious and powerful as the extra-dimensional being from Star Trek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(Star_Trek)) - it's the new Arduino UNO Q (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/arduino/uno-q-microcontroller-board) microcontroller board, released as part of the Qualcomm/Arduino acquisition announcement (https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2025/10/qualcomm-to-acquire-arduino-accelerating-developers--access-to-i). This Uno-shaped board is packed with both an STM32 microcontroller and a Qualcomm Dragonwing microprocessor so you get the best-of-both-worlds: 3.3V/5V logic compatibility with timers and ADCs, plus a full Debian install and AI support for running local vision models. We last checked in on Arduino we were reviewing their new announcements based on a partnership with Renesas: the Arduino Nano R4 SoC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLAI41ZfCfw) which is a miniaturized version of the UNO R4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw0EU8urz5M). These boards feature an Arm microcontroller, with lots of fun on-board accessories like an LED grid, Qwiic connector, and WiFi/Bluetooth module. These boards represented a bump in capabilities over the classic UNO R3 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/A000073/3476357) but are still under-powered compared to the 'Portenta' line (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/ABX00045/15294134). So, when we see the Arduino UNO Q (https://www.digikey.com/short/qc9d09fm) is a merging of three separate 'strands' of Arduino development history. One, it's shaped and has hardware-compatibility with the classic UNO which has been their mainstay for decades. Two, it has the powerful microcontroller type that the Pro line features. And three, it revives some of the Linux-based boards that Arduino had previously released like the Yun (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/arduino/A000008/4486331), Tian (https://docs.arduino.cc/retired/boards/arduino-tian/) and Tre (https://docs.arduino.cc/retired/boards/arduino-tre). What sets the Q apart is that this time instead of being just a chip-supplier partnership, Arduino has been acquired as a subsidiary of Qualcomm (https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2025/10/qualcomm-to-acquire-arduino-accelerating-developers--access-to-i) which means that there's going to be first-class engineering support for the onboard Dragonwing processor. Speaking of, let's take a look at the hardware included in the new Q! There's two chipsets on each board: the big processor is a Qualcomm Dragonwing™ QRB2210 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/qualcomm/QRB-2210-0-NSP752-TR-00-0/27904331) - 64-bit System-on-Chip with 4 × Arm Cortex-A53 running at 2.0 GHz and Adreno 702 GPU running at 845 MHz for 3D graphics. This chip runs mainline Debian OS with upstream support so you can configure a kernel and distribution image without needing patches. Arduino and Qualcomm distribute their own ready to go image too (https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/uno-q/update-image/). This chip has modern A/V support with both CSI camera and DSI MIPI display capability to match. Those high speed connects are available on the dual 60-pin bottom connects - while there isn't a sub-connect board right now, it's likely that Arduino will develop one soon. Meanwhile, you can use their documentation (https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/uno-q/) such as STEP and Gerber files if you want to start adding a direct-plug integration into your hardware now. The second chipset is a STM32U585 Arm Cortex-M33 with 2 MB Flash, 786 kB SRAM and running at 160 MHz - it runs the Arduino Core via Zephyr OS and from the block diagram, looks like it communicates with the main core via UART and SPI. The STM is what handles GPIO, PWM, ADC, DAC, timers, etc since it is 3.3V logic and has some 5V logic-level compatibility. The main headers on the Arduino - and some of the bottom extra headers - expose the STM logic so you can connect standard sensors, OLEDs, relays etc. While there are some GPIO from the Dragonwing also available, they're 1.8V logic and are already allocated in the Linux Device tree. The Arduino UNO Q (https://www.digikey.com/short/qc9d09fm) is available for pre-order right now from DigiKey for a door-busting $44! We've already put in our order, and we'll do a project to check it out as soon as it arrives. After you get your pre-order in, check out some of the projects that have already been published to get a sense of the Q's capabilities like this MAME emulation arcade cabinet (https://projecthub.arduino.cc/jcarolinares/arduino-uno-q-arcade-cabinet-machine-39dd38) or face-recognition car (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGDxAXpH_Ag). You can start dreaming of what you'll be able to do with a full computer + microcontroller board that fits where your old UNO R3 would fit, while you wait for the shipping notification.

This week we begin a new series, Light of the World, with the very first words of Scripture: “Let there be light.” In Genesis 1, God doesn't just flip a switch so we can see what was already there, He speaks light into chaos and brings order where there was none. That same creative Word becomes flesh in Jesus, who steps into the brokenness and despair of our lives. On the cross and in the empty tomb, He makes us whole, tov, not just a little better, but complete in Him. Join us as we hear how the Light of the World still speaks into our chaos today.   Genesis 1:1-5 2 Corinthians 4:1-6 John 1:1-5

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Mo Motamedi from the Center for Cancer Research at Massachusetts General Hospital about his work on RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation. The Interview starts with Dr. Motamedi sharing his personal journey into the realm of biology, sparked by a familial inclination towards science and a challenge to excel in a field that initially felt daunting. His passion was ignited during a genetics class, as he recognized the quantitative nature of the discipline amidst the evolution of modern techniques like qPCR and high-throughput sequencing. Dr. Motamedi goes on to articulate the importance of understanding the interplay between genetics and broader biological systems, emphasizing that an insightful grasp of evolution is vital for decoding cellular mechanisms. He reflects on his time in a postdoctoral lab under Danish Moazet, investigating RNA interference (RNAi) and its unexpected nuclear roles, contributing significantly to the understanding of how RNAi is involved in gene silencing via chromatin interaction. As his narrative unfolds, Dr. Motamedi provides deep insights into his own lab's work, which focuses on the establishment and maintenance of epigenetic states and their implications in cancer epigenetics. He discusses groundbreaking discoveries related to RNAi and heterochromatin, detailing experiments that unveil how specific proteins contribute to transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing. A pivotal theme emerges: the complex dynamics of genome evolution and chromatin organization can be reshaped under various biological contexts, including the quiescent state of cells under stress. Moreover, the discussion traverses recent publications from Dr. Motamedi's lab, revealing how they identify long non-coding RNAs that function as silencers at centromeres, an essential mechanism that aids in the establishment of heterochromatin independently of RNAi. His findings advocate for the idea that well-structured genome organization can lead to more efficient gene regulation, which can also be crucial in therapeutic contexts for various cancers.

At Trinity, we don't just learn who we are in Jesus or love because He first loved us, we also Lead. In Ephesians 4, God equips His people so the whole body of Christ may grow. We lead by showing Jesus through our actions, by investing in God's mission with the gifts He provides, and by telling others who Jesus is. This is our calling as His children, and this is our joy as His Church. Exodus 18:13-24 Ephesians 4:11-16 Mark 10:35-45

Nina Gerber erforscht Raubtiere wie Wolf, Bär und Luchs – und sucht dabei nach Antworten, die weit über die Natur hinausgehen. In «Focus» spricht sie über ihr Leben als Forscherin in der Schweizer «Wildnis» – und darüber, was Tiere über uns selbst verraten. Von Kindesbeinen an zog es Nina Gerber in den Wald. Heute leitet die 34-Jährige KORA, die Stiftung für Raubtierökologie und Wildtiermanagement. Ihr Weg führte sie durch Finnland, Australien und Deutschland – immer auf der Spur von Tieren. Doch Nina ist mehr als Wissenschaftlerin: Rugbyspielerin, queere Kulturorganisatorin und Nomadin, die sesshaft wurde. Im Gespräch erzählt sie, weshalb sie Ratten zu einem besseren Menschen gemacht haben – und warum es Mut braucht, sich mit dem Unkontrollierbaren auseinanderzusetzen.

STORY QUESTIONS: How To Unlock Your Story One Question At A Time - https://payhip.com/b/ZTvq9 and 17 Steps To Writing A Great Main Character - https://payhip.com/b/kCZGd In this Film Courage podcast, we speak with husband and wife duo, Jason Gerber and Blue Gerber, a co-directing team working in films and commercials together and individually. Their first feature documentary is DAWN DUSK, available on multiple platforms (link below). DAWN DUSK features Chelli Look, an artist specializing in handbags, experiences overwhelming grief after the murder of her sister by her brother-in-law. In the years that follow, Chelli's journey towards healing forces her to rediscover who she is as an artist, leading to an unexpected revelation that takes her in a new direction. They have directed commercials for brands such as Walgreens, 7UP, Scotch-Brite, Meiomi Wine, Chipotle, Intelligentsia, LOEWE and more. Their heart for storytelling can be seen in their work for The Boys & Girls Clubs, GE Girls, Athletes Unlimited, Lincoln Park Community Services, which won a Silver Telly, as well as piece for Chicago Connected which was shared by President Barack Obama. Their most recent short film, Otis' Dream, about voter suppression, debuted during the months leading up to the 2020 election and was shared by Oprah as an official Super Soul Sunday short film, gaining attention from major media outlets. Female and male, tactful and feeling, they evoke imagination and authentic human narratives directing as one voice.

Series: Learn. Love. Lead. Title: Learn.   Trinity's mission is clear: Learn. Love. Lead. Equipped to Reflect the Light of Jesus. It starts with the foundation - Learn. Before we can love or lead, we need to know who we are. In 2 Timothy 3, God's Word is described as breathed out by Him, making us wise for salvation and equipping us for every good work. At Trinity, we learn by worshiping and praying in community, by studying God's Word together, and by living out His will for our lives. This is our identity: we are children of God, loved and known by Jesus. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 2 Timothy 3:14-17 Luke 10:38-42

Preaching   In worship, God gives His living Word, read and preached. He speaks to form us, not just inform us. From 2 Timothy 3:16–4:2 we see Scripture as God-breathed and preaching commanded. Isaiah 55 promises His Word won't return empty. Luke 24 centers it all on Christ crucified and risen. This message invites us to listen actively, take one simple step of obedience, and share what Jesus has done in us.   Isaiah 55:6-11 2 Timothy 3:16-4:2 Luke 24:44-49

We have officially moved on from genetically modified plants, animals and fish to completely replacing them with lab-grown versions. From fake butter made with natural flavoring from Savor to the fake fish of Wildtype, we are told to eat meat alternatives to save the world by the same people told us to only eat plants to save the world. This list is expanded by fake chicken, and insect flour, ice cream, and milk. None of this should surprising either considering the cult of pharmaceutical drugs, surgeries, makeup, and how mothers are encouraged not to breastfeed their babies and instead feed them formulas and foods made by companies like Gerber, who are still in court over knowingly selling heavy-metal laced products. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

This episode features a conversation with Taylor Simpson, one half of the second-generation team that now owns and operates two wineries on the Leelanau Peninsula in northern Michigan. The Simpson family first planted their roots on the Leelanau Peninsula in the 1950s when visionary entrepreneur John Simpson grew pears and plums for Gerber's baby food. In the 1970s, he replaced the trees with cherries when that industry became more marketable. John then saw an opportunity for cool-climate wine and sent his son, Bruce, to study grape growing and winemaking at the University of California, Davis. The Simpson siblings have now expanded their reach beyond two family wineries creating Simpson Family Estates, which includes their winery businesses but also plays a critical role in the community by advocating for Michigan agriculture, supporting local wineries and wine trails and early childhood education for local children. Their winemaking operation, called Harbor Hill, supports other wineries across Northern Michigan through production and vineyard services and consulting. We talk about Taylor's strong roots – literally – to the Leelanau peninsula even reminiscing about helping her mom in the tasting room after school growing up, but Taylor also lived the city life in Chicago after graduating from the University of Michigan. She worked in wine sales distribution for a large wine and spirits distributor, honing her knowledge of wine and business while traveling to renowned wine regions of the world. She carried this extensive experience back home with her and continues to expand the reach of their wines through direct to consumers channels in 17 states (and growing!), boutique and chain grocery stores, and Midwest restaurants. She focuses her marketing efforts on building brands that convey a genuine story of the people and places behind the wines. We hope this conversation sparks your interest in Michigan wine while also giving you some insight on what it's like to be part of an up-and-coming wine region. You can visit www.simpsonfamilyestates.com to learn more about their winery portfolio and their viticulture practices, and you can visit www.michiganbythebottle.com to learn more about their satellite tasting room project.Recorded August 5, 2025

Wir Menschen vergleichen uns permanent mit anderen. Macht die Kollegin den Job besser? Bin ich als Vater gut genug? Wer hat den schönsten Körper, das dickste Auto, die schlausten Kinder.

In October 2001, the dismembered remains of seventy-one-year-old Morris Black were found floating in Galveston Bay. A few days later, Black's neighbor, Robert Durst, was arrested on suspicion of murder and released on $250,000 bail. After posting bail, Durst jumped bail and disappeared for six weeks, before being arrested by Pennsylvania authorities at the end of November.In the years that followed, investigators and prosecutors began combing through Durst's life, discovering disturbing connections between the excentric millionaire and the mysterious disappearances and deaths of several people who were once close to Durst.
