What does Global Impact have to do with relationships, and why does God ask us to go?In this message from Global Impact Weekend, we're reminded that following Jesus has always been about presence. About showing up as an extension of God's love in hard places, both locally and around the world. Through Scripture, personal stories, and powerful testimony, we see that discipleship is built on relationships and that God often invites us to step outside our comfort zone so others can experience His grace.You'll hear firsthand what it looks like to be “comfortable with being uncomfortable,” from language barriers and cultural differences to life-changing moments of ministry and worship overseas. This message challenges every believer to consider their role as an ambassador for Christ and to respond with obedience through praying, giving, or going.

Most brain decline, mood instability, and impulsive behavior start with a breakdown in how the brain's immune cells produce and use energy. This episode shows how mitochondrial health inside microglia influences cognition, emotion, and long-term brain resilience, and how everyday inputs quietly push those systems toward damage or repair. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author whose work focuses on the intersection of neurology, nutrition, metabolism, and brain health. A Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, Dr. Perlmutter brings decades of clinical and research experience to this conversation on how inflammation and mitochondrial function shape the brain across the lifespan. Together, they explore how microglial cells shift their behavior based on metabolic conditions, and how those shifts influence neurodegeneration, emotional regulation, impulse control, and cognitive performance. The discussion covers real-world inputs that shape these systems, including sleep optimization, fasting, ketosis, glucose regulation, gut signaling, environmental toxins, and tools referenced in the episode such as red and infrared light, 40 Hz light and sound, hyperbaric oxygen, lithium, nicotine, supplements, nootropics, GLP-1 agonists, and dietary approaches like carnivore and ketosis. The conversation connects brain biology to lived experience, showing how metabolism influences behavior, decision making, and long-term human performance through a Smarter Not Harder lens. You'll Learn: • How microglia shift between supportive and destructive states and why metabolism drives that change • How mitochondrial function inside immune cells influences inflammation and brain resilience • How inflammation affects the prefrontal cortex, impulse control, and reward-driven behavior • What the episode says about GLP-1 agonists and behavior changes like reduced cravings and gambling • How gut-derived signaling and short-chain fatty acid balance (butyrate vs propionate) relates to brain function • How tools like red and infrared light, hyperbaric oxygen, and 40 Hz light and sound connect to microglia • The lifestyle levers discussed in the episode: sleep optimization, fasting, ketosis, glucose control, and toxin reduction • The compounds mentioned, including lithium, nicotine, urolithin A, CoQ10, rosmarinic acid, and dihydromyricetin Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Donald Trump ran his 2024 US presidential campaign vowing to be the “peace president.” Now one year into his second term, his tenure has been marked by global instability, and a return down the path towards American isolationism. This week on One Decision: In Brief, guest co-host and former Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh joins former head of MI6 and host Sir Richard Dearlove to discuss the shocks and surprises that have defined the geopolitical landscape of this past year. Sir Richard argues that Trump has acted as a catalyst towards the continued disintegration of Pax Americana, and worries that Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin puts an end to the war in Ukraine in jeopardy. Sabrina reflects on the shift in US foreign policy, from the closing of USAID, to joint strikes with Israel on Iran and a fragile ceasefire in the war in Gaza. Together, they explore what to watch for in the coming year, including AI technologies emerging as a strategic issue, the effects of Trump's tariffs, the fate of the theocratic regime in Iran, Greenland, and the looming economic and military shadow of China.

In this episode of HAYVN Hubcast, Nancy Sheed talks with Adam Thatcher, CEO and co-founder of Grace Farms Tea and Coffee, for a thoughtful conversation about purpose-driven business, ethical supply chains, and redefining what success looks like in a for-profit model. Adam shares how a role rooted in hospitality at Grace Farms evolved into a bold social enterprise—one that gives 100% of its profits back to ending forced and child labor while delivering premium tea and coffee experiences to consumers everywhere. Key Takeaways Grace Farms as a catalystAdam traces the origin of the company back to Grace Farms itself—an architectural, cultural, and humanitarian space designed to foster connection, hospitality, and dialogue. Tea and coffee became natural extensions of that mission. From service to product with purposeDemand from visitors who wanted to recreate the Grace Farms tea experience at home revealed an opportunity: exceptional products could also carry an ethical and humanitarian story. A new ownership model enabled by policy changeA little-known change to the IRS code (4943G) made it possible for a nonprofit foundation to own 100% of a for-profit company—unlocking a powerful hybrid model for social impact. Why B Corp certification mattersBecoming a certified B Corp wasn't required—it was intentional. Adam explains how the rigorous assessment process helped embed accountability, transparency, and long-term sustainability into the company's DNA. Deep partnerships, not surface-level sourcingRather than scaling quickly, Grace Farms Tea and Coffee chose to go deep with women-led, organic, fair-trade cooperatives—building trust, visiting origins, and responding directly in moments of crisis. Tea as education and connectionBeyond beverages, the company uses tea as a storytelling and learning tool—inviting consumers to understand origins, traditions, and ethical supply chains through immersive experiences. Proof that values and quality can coexistAdam challenges the assumption that doing good requires compromise, arguing that conscious consumers will choose products that align quality with impact. This conversation is a powerful reminder that business can be both profitable and profoundly human. By grounding Grace Farms Tea and Coffee in hospitality, ethical sourcing, and radical transparency, Adam illustrates what's possible when values are embedded from day one—not added later as a marketing layer.  Connect with Adam Website Connect with Nancy LinkedIn  Instagram Website Learn more about your ad choices.

    This episode celebrates the 125th anniversary of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps by profiling four newly commissioned officers completing their Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC). The conversation highlights the diverse backgrounds and motivations of these future leaders, ranging from a former Master Sergeant with 22 years of enlisted service to first-generation college graduates and officers. By sharing their personal journeys, the guests illustrate the profound commitment required to balance the dual roles of a soldier and a healthcare professional.    The officers discuss the core values that define their service, emphasizing respect, compassion, and the need to maintain professional balance. They detail the rigorous training and mindset shift required to move from bedside nursing to military leadership, where readiness and adaptability are paramount. The interviews reveal that the Army Nurse Corps provides unique opportunities far beyond traditional civilian nursing, including roles in command, specialty practice, and global broadening assignments.     A central theme throughout the episode is the "limitless" nature of a career in military medicine. Whether transitioning from a combat medic background or starting fresh through ROTC scholarships, these officers are driven by a desire to impact the lives of service members and their families worldwide. Their stories serve as an inspiring testament to the enduring legacy of the Nurse Corps and its critical role in medical readiness.    The final takeaway is one of optimism and professional pride. As these officers prepare for their first duty stations, they demonstrate a readiness to face the challenges of military medicine with enthusiasm and dedication. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the professional development, personal sacrifice, and high-level leadership that characterize the next generation of "WarDocs" in the Army Nurse Corps.   Chapters (00:00-01:34) Celebrating 125 Years of the Army Nurse Corps (01:34-04:30) From Master Sergeant to Nurse Practitioner- CPT Michael Morris (04:41-07:05) The Importance of Balance in Military Nursing- 2LT Julian Tagupa (07:09-09:43) First-Generation Success and Limitless Opportunities- 2LT Dana Williams (09:48-12:53) Leadership, Adaptability, and Readiness- 2LT Audrey Holder   Chapter Summaries (00:00-01:34) Celebrating 125 Years of the Army Nurse Corps: This introductory segment honors the historic 125th anniversary of the Corps and introduces the podcast's mission to spotlight future leaders.

This balance is essential for maintaining readiness and providing high-quality care across diverse environments, from state-of-the-art hospitals to austere settings. Diverse Pathways to Professional Growth: The military offers robust career progression models that allow individuals to advance from enlisted roles, such as combat medics, to commissioned officer roles, such as Nurse Practitioners. These pathways demonstrate the Army's commitment to internal development and provide a platform for long-term professional fulfillment and leadership. Commitment to Medical Readiness and Adaptability: A core requirement for military medical officers is the ability to adapt to rapidly changing assignments and maintain constant readiness for deployment. This flexibility ensures that the healthcare team is always prepared to support the needs of the unit and the nation, regardless of the location or timeframe. Foundational Values of Respect and Compassion: The success of the Army Nurse Corps is built on core values such as respect for patients and peers, as well as a deep spirit of empathy. These values shape the military healthcare culture and are vital for building trust with service members and their families during critical moments of care. Global Impact and Limitless Career Opportunities: Unlike civilian nursing, a career in the Army Nurse Corps provides expansive opportunities in command, broadening assignments, and international service. This "limitless" potential allows officers to impact the broader Department of Defense mission while honing specialized clinical and leadership skills.   Episode Keywords Army Nurse Corps, military medicine podcast, US Army nursing, Basic Officer Leader Course, BOLC, nurse officer training, military healthcare careers, combat medic to nurse, nursing leadership, medical readiness, ROTC nursing scholarship, military nursing stories, first generation officer, Army healthcare team, nursing opportunities, military career paths, nurse practitioner stories, Army nursing history, medical officer training, healthcare leadership, veteran nurses, WarDocs, healthcare professional development, Army medical readiness.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TONIGHT: Joseph Sternberg analyzes German efforts to stem the rise of the AfD party through stricter migration policies. He also highlights optimism in Japan's economy and the global impact of rising Japanese interest rates, noting that normalizing rates could pull trillions of dollars in overseas investments back to Japan—imagine the global economy as a hydraulic system where Japan has been a low-pressure reservoir, pushing water (money) out to the rest of the world for decades; as Japan raises rates, it increases pressure at the source, potentially sucking that liquidity back in and lowering levels everywhere else.1870 FRANCO-GERMAN WAR, SIEGE OF PARIS

As we close out 2025, Suzanne B. O'Brien, RN shares a heartfelt Year in Review for the Doulagivers Institute, reflecting on three extraordinary milestones that are helping transform end-of-life care around the world. This episode honors what's possible when education, compassion, and community come together.

In this episode, we sit down with Efrat Fenigson—independent journalist, public speaker, and host of You're the Voice—for a courageous conversation about sovereignty, power, and the systems that shape human behavior. Drawing from her lived experience growing up in Israel, Efrat speaks openly about identity, collective trauma, propaganda, and the psychological cost of questioning state narratives from within. From there, the conversation quickly widens to examine how control operates at a deeper structural level—through money. Efrat breaks down how the modern fiat monetary system erodes human agency and why Bitcoin represents a radically different model rooted in decentralization and personal sovereignty. This is a nuanced, unsanitized dialogue connecting geopolitics, psychology, sound money and a sober yet inspiring look at what it means to reclaim authority over your life in an age of control.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser (00:22) Opening Conversation (04:29) Guest Introduction & Personal Journey (09:02) Growing Up in Israel (16:51) Peace Activism and Political Realizations (21:06) Complexities of Israeli-Palestinian Relations (38:52) Understanding Sovereignty (47:51) Fraudulent Fiat Economic System (55:03) Fractional Reserve Banking Explained (01:01:08) Bitcoin…The Solution to Fiat's Failures (01:18:56) Bitcoin's Origins and Global Impact (01:23:50) El Salvador's Bitcoin AdoptionGuest Linkshttps://linktr.ee/efenigson Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has been in the spotlight for several noteworthy developments over the past few days that highlight both her music career and public engagement. First, there is considerable buzz in Assam, India, where the Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is actively working to bring Shakira to perform in Guwahati. This move aims to build on the momentum created by Post Malone's recent concert, as Assam is eager to develop its concert economy and boost tourism by attracting international superstars like Shakira. Sarma expressed strong optimism that her concert would add new vitality to the region's live music industry, following successes with previous globally renowned artists (India Today, Economic Times, Times of India). Although this is currently a government initiative to attract Shakira, no official confirmation from Shakira's camp has been reported, so her appearance remains a hopeful prospect rather than a confirmed engagement.In the United States, Shakira is gearing up for several live shows. She is scheduled for three “Up Close & Personal” concerts at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, on December 27, 28, and 29, 2025. These shows will close out her latest “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour,” giving fans a more intimate concert experience. Tickets for these are actively on sale, confirming that these events are definite and part of her official tour schedule (Ticketmaster, Concert Addicts, Visit Lauderdale, Vibee).Recently, Shakira experienced a tense moment on tour during a performance at Centenario Stadium, where a fan unexpectedly pulled her hair as she interacted with the audience. Though surprised, she handled the incident professionally and continued performing without interruption. This incident sparked discussion on social media regarding the safety of artists during close-contact moments in concerts, with calls for improved security measures during live events (De Ultimo Minuto).In addition to live performances, Shakira is also expanding her presence in other domains. She was present at a major Ulta Beauty event marking the brand's expansion into the Mexico market, celebrating the opening of their first store in Mexico City, alongside other notable figures. This appearance signals her growing involvement in business and international brand collaborations beyond music (Investing.com).Moreover, Shakira contributed creatively as well, having written the anthem for the animated film Zootopia 2, highlighting her ongoing influence in entertainment outside the music stage (Parade).There is no confirmed news of new music releases or other major headline controversies involving Shakira in the past few days. The most significant updates revolve around her upcoming concerts, a notable fan interaction incident, government interest in inviting her for international concerts, and her role in brand events and film music.These developments collectively reinforce Shakira's stature as a global music icon actively engaging with fans and industries worldwide while navigating the challenges and opportunities of live performance and multifaceted creative projects.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated headlines over the past several days with a mix of sports achievements, personal milestones, and high-profile political encounters. The 40-year-old footballer continues to prove his staying power both on and off the pitch.On the sporting front, Sky Sports News reports that Ronaldo avoided a ban for Portugal's World Cup campaign following his red card against the Republic of Ireland during a World Cup qualifier. A FIFA disciplinary committee imposed a three-match ban, but suspended the final two matches for one year, provided he maintains clean conduct. Ronaldo had already missed one match against Armenia, meaning he can play in the opening games of the 2026 World Cup if he stays disciplined. This decision has sparked debate among fans, with many noting Ronaldo's previously unblemished record across 226 international appearances.In club action with Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr, Ronaldo recently capped off a match with a spectacular bicycle kick against Al Khaleej, showcasing his athletic prowess remains sharp despite his age. The moment generated significant social media engagement, with Ronaldo posting a concise three-word message that resonated across platforms.Perhaps most notably, Ronaldo met with United States President Donald Trump at the White House, an encounter that captured global attention. According to Ronaldo's social media statement, he expressed gratitude for the invitation and spoke about inspiring new generations through courage and responsibility. The meeting also included Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, highlighting Ronaldo's unique position bridging sports, politics, and international diplomacy.On the personal front, reports indicate Ronaldo and his fiancee Georgina Rodriguez have chosen to hold their wedding on Madeira Island next summer, strategically scheduled between the 2026 World Cup and the start of the Saudi Pro League season. The couple has been actively sharing moments together on social media.Current statistics underscore Ronaldo's remarkable longevity. He now boasts approximately 954 official career goals, 143 international goals for Portugal, 140 Champions League strikes, and previously scored 35 goals in a single Saudi season. His presence on social media remains substantial, with over 669 million Instagram followers receiving regular updates on his professional and personal life.These developments paint a picture of an athlete whose influence extends far beyond the football pitch, navigating international prominence while maintaining elite athletic performance well into his fifth decade.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

For episode 228, we have something special in store. In Web3, we spend a lot of time talking about potential: what blockchain could unlock for climate, aid, finance, or human rights. And those conversations matter because they help shape the future.But today, I want to cut through the noise and focus on what's happening right now.All around the world, builders, nonprofits, and communities are already using crypto rails to move money faster, more transparently, and more equitably than ever before. Real people are feeling the impact. Lives are changing. And these stories often go unheard.So in this special episode, I'm sharing eight powerful clips from past conversations; moments that highlight the human stories behind the tech, and the tangible impact being made today.You'll learn:

In one of our most popular episodes, Peter and Dan explore the benefits of cultivating an “Exponential Mindset,” an understanding that computation and derivative technologies (AI, VR, 3D Printing, etc.) are growing exponentially. Thirty doublings drive a billion-fold improvement that the human (linear) brain finds difficult to grasp. In this episode: Peter discusses how humans evolved to be linear thinkers, yet the power of our technology has long been doubling every 18 months. And the power of exponential doublings can be extraordinarily hard to wrap our heads around. Dan covers the history of the steam engine, examining how this specific innovation saw an exponential boom in global mobility.  Peter outlines how exponential technologies are converging, disrupting, and transforming business models and industries, enabling even small teams to compete successfully with large corporations.

From STEM trailblazer to AI visionary, Dr. Tamara Nall shares her extraordinary journey of perseverance, innovation, and purpose-driven leadership, showing women what it truly means to build with legacy in mind.Growing up in Alabama and Georgia, Dr. Nall's parents instilled a belief that education is the one thing no one can take away. When an Emory University counselor told her that STEM “wasn't for women like her,” she didn't retreat, she rose higher, applying that very night to a dual-degree program with Georgia Tech. She went on to become the first business student to graduate from that demanding program, blending business acumen with computer science — a foundation that would power her future as a global entrepreneur and change-maker.That same determination has guided every step of her journey. From Harvard Business School to earning a doctorate in engineering and leading The Leading Niche, her award-winning systems integration firm serving agencies like the CDC, NIH, and VA. When told she'd lost a government contract for not having a PhD, Dr. Nall didn't internalize rejection; she transformed it into action, completing her doctorate during the pandemic while running her company full-time. Her story is one of relentless learning, courage, and redefining what's possible for women in technology and business.In our conversation, Dr. Nall opens up about scaling sustainably, leading with empathy, and why women-owned businesses must focus not only on passion but profitability. She shares insights on strategic networking, purpose-driven culture, and her bold ventures in AI, from her platform Reli AI to Human AI Nation, where she's exploring the evolving relationship between humans and technology. Through it all, her message is clear: innovation begins when you dare to claim the space others say you don't belong in.This episode is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and responsible leadership. Tune in to hear Dr. Tamara Nall's remarkable story and be inspired to build your own legacy of impact and innovation.Chapters 

Episode 110 features Isaac Kardon, Senior Fellow for China Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and author of "China's Law of the Sea: The New Rules of Maritime Order." Kardon joins hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to discuss how China uses domestic law, coast guard operations, and strategic ambiguity to reshape international maritime norms - especially in the South and East China Seas and the Yellow Sea.China's Approach to Maritime Law: Kardon explains that China's participation in international treaties, such as UNCLOS, differs fundamentally from rule-of-law societies like the U.S. Rather than constraining itself, China uses treaties as instruments for political and strategic advantage, showing significant flexibility in interpretation and enforcement.Global Impact of Indo-Pacific Maritime Order: The Indo-Pacific isn't just a regional issue - what happens there affects global trade, technology supply chains, and the daily lives of people worldwide. The COVID pandemic and events like the Ever Given incident in the Suez Canal reveal the fragility of maritime order, making disruptions to the global order dangerous for prosperity and peace.Frictions in the South China Sea: China's ratification of UNCLOS presented challenges, notably the framework that limits China's ability to claim “historic” zones like the “nine-dash line.” Despite arbitration rulings against Chinese claims, China responds in ways that undermine the effectiveness of international mechanisms, often using ambiguous claims and building capacity to assert control regardless of legal setbacks.Law, Power, and Regional Responses: The episode highlights the contrast between the legalistic approaches of “cricket-playing nations” and China's more instrumental use of law. Small states in the region rely on legal frameworks for protection, but China's power allows it to bend or contest those rules.Recent Developments: China has expanded its exclusion zone around Scarborough Shoal and used environmental pretext to assert control, demonstrating a pattern of using lawfare as a tool for broader strategic objectives.Future Directions: The discussion covers the gridlock over the ASEAN-China Code of Conduct process, the decline of sentimentality about U.S. leadership in maritime law, and the general skepticism about international law's ability to constrain powerful states. The hosts discuss the potential for the Indo-Pacific maritime disputes to become the setting for geopolitical drama, involving all facets from local fishermen and coast guards to great power competition.Kardon argues that China's lawfare bolsters its capabilities: strength and presence on the water matter just as much, if not more, than legal arguments. He describes the situation as “possession is nine-tenths of the law”—a reality that smaller states cannot match with mere legal claims.Policy Takeaways: International law matters less when powerful states refuse to be constrained. China's approach threatens regional cooperation and legal consistency.The episode calls for listeners to recognize how Indo-Pacific maritime order shapes global stability, trade, and strategic realities - and provides both practical insights and a thought-provoking narrative, encouraging listeners to see Indo-Pacific maritime disputes not just as legal questions but as complex dramas involving power, law, and the future of global cooperation.
