Podcasts about harsher

Episode 79 of the Space Industry podcast by satsearch is a conversation with Adrian Helwig, Analog Field Application Engineer, and Michael Seidl, Systems Engineer from Texas Instruments (TI), about the strengths of adopting standardized architectures for space missions.TI is a global electronics manufacturer with a wide portfolio of space-grade components to support space missions across the spectrum.In the episode, Adrian, Michael and satsearch COO Narayan Prasad Nagendra discuss:Standardized architectures in space missions that enable modular, interoperable system designs across suppliers, helping to reduce R&D costs, support component re-use, and foster a diverse supplier ecosystem.Harsher environmental and longevity challenges faced by space missions compared to automotive applications, which share principles like system modularity and cost-efficient R&D; however space applications require dedicated components, long-term support, and reliability over decades.Space-grade products offered by TI in two qualification levels — SEP and SP — to meet varied mission requirements, with benefits like pin-compatible options, broad portfolio coverage, and flight heritage from previously proven components.You can find out more about TI on their satsearch supplier hub.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the 55-year-old hip-hop mogul, is set to face sentencing on October 3, 2025, following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. This decision comes after a nearly seven-week federal trial in Manhattan, where he was acquitted of more serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. According to reports from Marca and People, Combs was found guilty on the prostitution charges but could have faced life imprisonment if convicted on the more severe counts.Currently, Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, denied bail due to concerns about him posing a flight risk and potentially intimidating witnesses. Prosecutors are pushing for a sentence between 51 and 63 months, while the defense is advocating for a 21 to 27 month term. Judge Arun Subramanian will have the final say on the sentence length.In addition to his legal troubles, Combs' financial situation has also taken a hit. His net worth has dropped significantly from $740 million in 2019 to an estimated $400 million in 2025, largely due to the fallout from his legal battles and the loss of several business partnerships. Brands like Peloton and Diageo have distanced themselves from him, and his ventures have suffered as a result.As Combs prepares for sentencing, his team is committed to continuing their legal fight. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has stated that they will not stop until Combs is a free man. Despite the challenges ahead, Combs holds onto significant assets, including mansions, a Gulfstream jet, and Bad Boy Records.Thanks for tuning in today. We'll be back next week with more updates.

The government says new penalties for those who hurl coward punches will reflect the gravity of their crime. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith spoke to Corin Dann.

The Government is changing the law so a coward punch, or king hit, is a specified offence with jail terms of between eight years and life. Walk without Fear Trust Spokesperson Mike Angove spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The government's moving to bring in more jail time for anyone convicted of assaulting an emergency worker. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The select committee process has proven useful in substantially strengthening anti-stalking laws. Originally proposals on making it an offence had a maximum penalty of five years in prison, capturing three specified acts within one-year. But it'll now be triggered after two acts within two years. Labour's Police spokesperson Ginny Anderson told Mike Hosking it's an example of why the process is an important part of our democracy. She says it's been great to work collaboratively, to listen to submissions, to understand what Police can do and to make the changes to strengthen the law. Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Hosking that police take these things extremely seriously, and they now have the tools to be able to give a meaningful response.

Every few weeks, it seems that we are reporting on a recidivist drink driver who is once again going through the court system due to their behaviour. And there are still thousands going through the justice system every year. In fact, figures show that over 15,000 people were convicted last year for driving under the influence. Now, a new survey has shown consistent support from New Zealanders to tackle drink driving. Conducted by the New Zealand Alcohol Beverages Council, more Kiwis are keen to see Police issue on the spot fines for minor alcohol related offences, while there remains high support for confiscating cars and the use of alcohol interlocks in cars.

Joining the podcast today is domestic violence advocate Bianca Unwin. Bianca has degrees in both criminology and psychological sciences and she is joining us today to speak about a loophole known as ‘emergency management days' that over 7000 prisoners could be using to receive reductions in their prison sentences. Many of these convicted offenders are violent and high risk offenders. Bianca's sister Katie was a 29 year old mother of two when her partner Shane Robertson beat her to death while the couple's child slept in a room next door. Shane was convicted but received a below average sentence of 19 years without parole. However, due to legislation enacted by the Victorian government allowing sentence reductions for prisoners under ‘emergency management days,' a provision especially impactful during COVID-19, his sentence may be substantially reduced. Bianca joins the podcast today to speak about the contrast between what we all seem to be screaming from the rooftops in our fight to protect women, and the government's leniency on reducing the sentence of violent criminals. We also speak about the inadequate rehabilitation of violent perpetrators and how we all need to be showing the government that these reductions in sentences are not what the community wants.

Whoopi Goldberg revealed on Thursday that, in addition to the unsealed documents regarding the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, there is also a”fake” Epstein list floating around — and then she admitted that her name is on it. A set of 19 unsealed documents from lawsuits tied to late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein were released by a court Thursday evening, revealing allegations that former President Bill Clinton threatened Vanity Fair over a story in 2011. An analysis of twenty years of academic literature found that there is little or no evidence that minorities are mistreated by the criminal justice system when it comes to punishment, despite assertions to the contrary by policymakers, media, and academics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was watching the Super Bowl this past February, expecting to see the newest commercials from Doritos and Budweiser and Coca-Cola, when this unusual music began to play. On the screen were still shots of kids doing adorable things — helping each other, hugging, arm around the family dog. At the end the words came up, Jesus didn't want us to act like adults. . . . He gets us. It was a heart-warming riff on Jesus's teaching about being childlike. I liked it. This is the Super Bowl, with hundreds of millions of people watching, and a 30-second spot comes up commending Jesus. I love Jesus. I worship Jesus. Yeah, let's commend Jesus.Then another spot came up in the second half. Harsher music. Pictures of adults demonstrating manifest outrage and hatred, in each other's faces. Sometimes it's a physical altercation — and all from the last three years. Then the message: Jesus loved the people we hate. . . . He gets us. And my response was, Ouch and yes.The ads are from a non-profit looking to “put Jesus in the middle of culture.” They paid $20 million for the Super Bowl ads and plan to spend $3 billion in the coming years.So, I've seen more of these “He gets us” ads in recent months. Sometimes, I like them. Other times I cringe a little, concerned it will give a skewed impression about Jesus. Jesus was judged wrongly.Jesus had strained relationships, too.Jesus welcomes the weird.Jesus was fed up with politics, too.Jesus invited everyone to sit at his table.Jesus chose forgiveness. Then last week I took my twin sons to their first Minnesota Wild hockey game at the X, and now there's a hockey “He gets us” on the thin digital screens around the side of the arena: Jesus had great lettuce, too. Lettuce means hockey hair. I had to ask my boys for help on that. I don't want to be too picky, but I wonder if “great lettuce” might represent some mission drift for the “He gets us” campaign. Admittedly, it doesn't speak to me personally like it would if it said, “Jesus was losing his hair, too.”Our Pioneer and ChampionHebrews 2 is a “he gets us” passage. But it's also clear that he not only gets us, but he helps us. He rescues us. Saves us. Getting us is good; as we'll see, that can lead to real, genuine help for us in our need. But getting us, on its own, doesn't do a whole lot for us. Yes, he gets us. He really does. And this is a slice of what we celebrate in Advent. But there's no real joy in Advent if he only gets us and doesn't also help us, save us, change us, lift us up. In Advent, we celebrate that he became man, fully human like us, not just to be one of us but to save us.Verse 10 has a name for Jesus that I've come to love, and it's hard to find an equivalent word for it in English. The ESV has founder: God “make[s] the founder of [our] salvation perfect through suffering.” Founder is a good translation. But I want to fill out the meaning for us a little bit.The Greek word is archegos. It's built on the word archē, which means beginning. So archegos, we might say, is “the originator” or “the beginner.” The problem is we mean something else by “beginner” in English: “a person just starting to learn a skill or take part in an activity.” Jesus is not a “beginner” in that sense. Rather, he's a “beginner” in the sense that he's the leader who goes first and others follow him. Like a pioneer. But he doesn't just go first into uncharted territory, but into battle. So “champion” or “hero” could be a good translation of archegos as well.And he's a champion who we don't just watch from afar. We're connected to him and come with him. He doesn't just fight for us; he leads the charge; we follow in his wake.So, Jesus as our archegos, is both our hero and example. He is “the beginner” in that he births the people, and he leads into the battle, and he rescues us through faith in him, and then also he inspires us as our model who we follow. We benefit from what he does for us, and couldn't do for ourselves, and yet in his work for us, he opens up a path that we might follow in his steps.And Advent is where our “beginner” begins, so to speak. That is, Advent is the beginning of his humanity, and his getting us, and saving us, and helping us; but Advent is not the beginning of his person. So, let's walk with Hebrews chapter 2 through the Advent drama of our “beginner,” our “champion,” from the very beginning until now. There are four distinct stages here in the drama of Hebrews 2 — four movements in the story of Advent.1) Jesus did not start like us.That is, our champion, our “beginner,” did not begin like we did. His person was not created like ours. He is a divine person, the second person of the eternal Threeness. His humanity was created, conceived in Mary's womb and born in Bethlehem, but not his person.The book of Hebrews begins with glimpses of his godhood. Before any world, any creation existed, he existed and was “appointed the heir of all things.” Then through him God (the Father) made the world. “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature” — he is distinct from the Father in his person and same as his Father in divine nature. “And,” verse 3 adds, “he upholds the universe by the word of his power” — as only God can do.So, the story of Advent begins before time, before creation, before “the beginning.” Jesus himself is God, and if you have eyes to see, it's all over the New Testament.Greg Lanier, in his recent book Is Jesus Truly God?, shows how the deity of Christ shines through, on just about every page in the New Testament, in five ways other than the simple declaration that he is God (theos) and other exalted terms:1. He is preexistent before Advent, and before creation.2. He is the unique “Son” of the heavenly Father, eternally begotten.3. He is called “Lord” which refers to God's Old Testament covenant name (Yahweh).4. He receives worship.5. He relates to the Father and Spirit in ways that reveal his person as one of the divine Threeness.So, let's get this clear before we move on to talk about his humanity and his getting us. In Jesus, a man did not become God. Rather, God became man. We say that Jesus is fully God and fully man in one person, but we do not mean that he became God and man at the same time. There is a profound asymmetry in the story of the God-man: he has been God for all eternity, and he became man at the first Christmas.2) Jesus was made like us.Now we come to his first Advent and the first Christmas, when God made God in the image of God. Without ceasing to be God, God the Son took on humanity. He added humanity to his divine person. Humanity, as a created nature, is “compatible” with the uncreated divine nature. Deity and humanity are not a zero-sum game. The divine Son did not have to jettison any eternal deity (as if that's even possible) to take on humanity. Uncreated deity and created humanity operate at different levels of reality, so to speak. Without ceasing, in any way, to be fully God, the Son took on our full created nature and became fully human. As verse 17 says, he was “made like his brothers in every respect.” Look at verses 11–14: For he who sanctifies [Jesus] and those who are sanctified [us] all have one source [one nature]. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” 13 And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.” 14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things . . . We'll come back to finish verse 14. But let me just say about these Old Testament quotations in verses 13–14 that Pastor Jonathan explained them so well in the sermon on February 12 as pointing to Jesus's solidarity with us in our suffering. “Flesh and blood” in verse 14 refers to our humanity. We are flesh and blood, and so Jesus became one of us — to which Hebrews 4:15 adds, “without sin.” Sin is not an essential part of what it means to be human. Jesus was fully human, made like us in every respect, and “without sin.”So, then, what's included in this “every respect” of our humanity? What does it mean for Jesus to be fully human, like us?One of the biggest moments in the collective formation of early Christians in saying what the Scriptures teach about the humanity of Christ is a church council called Chalcedon in 451 AD. The Chalcedonian creed says Jesus is “perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a rational soul and body.” Jesus has a fully human body. He “became flesh,” which means at least a human body. He was born and grew and grew tired. He became thirsty and hungry. He suffered, and he died. And his human body was raised and glorified, and he sits right now, on heaven's throne, in a risen, glorified human body.But becoming fully human also involved taking “a rational soul,” or “the inner man,” including human emotions. He marveled. He expressed sorrow. He was “deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled” and wept (John 11:33–35). And he rejoiced and was happy. John Calvin memorably summed it up, “Christ has put on our feelings along with our flesh.”A “rational soul” also includes a human mind, in addition to his divine mind. So, Jesus “increased in wisdom” as well as in stature (Luke 2:52), and most strikingly, he says about the timing of his second coming, “Concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Mark 13:32). With respect to his humanity, and his human mind, there are things he does not know. His human knowledge is limited, like all human minds. Yet, at the same time, for this unique two-natured person of Christ, he also knows all things with respect to his divine mind. As one-natured humans, this is beyond our experience and ability to understand, but divine and human minds are compatible, and this is no contradiction for the unique person of Christ but a unique glory.So too with his human will, in addition to the divine will. Jesus says, “I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me” (John 6:38). Jesus, speaking with respect to his human will, says that he came “not of [his] own will” but his Father's. And that divine will, while not proper to his humanity, is proper to his person as God. So, when he prays in Gethsemane, “Not as I will, as you will,” he aligns his human will with the divine will, which also is his as God.So, Jesus has a fully human body and emotions and mind and will. And verse 11 says, “That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers.” He is not ashamed to call you brother, or sister.Jesus could have been a brother in our nature, and yet ashamed to call us his brothers. But mark this, he is not the kind of brother. He is not ashamed of his siblings. He's not worried that our weaknesses and immaturities, or even our follies, will mar his reputation. He's not stuck with us and embarrassed by it.That's not how Jesus is with me, and with us. I want to be like Jesus is with me. I want to be like this as a dad, and be like this as a friend, and be like this as a pastor: not mainly concerned about how others' behavior reflects on me, but mainly concerned about my brother or sister in Christ, so that I can be loving, rather than self-focused, and especially in the very moment when love is needed most.3) Jesus suffered like us.That is, being fully human, he suffered both with us and for us.Suffering is an important aspect as his being fully human, and saving us in his full humanity. As God only, he could not suffer. God is “impassible,” unable to be afflicted or be moved from outside. But not humanity. So, Jesus becoming fully human involved not only a human body and reasoning human soul, and emotions, and mind, and will, but also he entered as man into our fallen world, which is under the curse of sin, and even though he himself was not a sinner, he was, as a creature, susceptible to the afflictions and assaults and sufferings and pains of our world. He entered into our suffering, and did so in two senses.One, he suffered with us. He knows what it's like to suffer in created flesh and blood. And verse 10 says that he was made “perfect through suffering.” This language of “perfect” or “complete” is important in Hebrews. Verse 10 doesn't mean that Jesus was imperfect, or sinful, but that he was made ready, or made complete, for his calling, as our champion and high priest, through his suffering. Having become man, he was not yet complete, not yet ready, but needed to be made ready, complete, perfected through suffering. Hebrews 5:8 says, Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him. Which leads, then, to a second sense in which he suffered: for us. Not only does he, as man, suffer with us, but he, as the God-man, suffers for us, in our place, in our stead. Which leads to the connection here between suffering and death. Verse 9 introduced “the suffering of death,” of Jesus suffering and dying for us, in our place: “by the grace of God he tasted death for everyone.” Jesus not only experienced suffering with us but for us. He not only gets us, but saves us, and that “through death.” Now look at the rest of verse 14 and verse 15, and two achievements of Jesus for us through his human “suffering of death” at the cross. Pick it up in the middle of verse 14: Jesus shared in our humanity, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. The first achievement through his human death is that he defeated Satan. His suffering unto death conquers the one who had the power of death. We should not forget this as a Christmas theme: “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8) How? “he appeared in order to take away sins.” (1 John 3:5) They go together. Jesus destroys the devil by taking away sins. The weapon Satan had against us was unforgiven sin, “the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands.” But through the suffering of death, Jesus “set [this] aside, nailing it to the cross” and in so doing, God “disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in [Jesus]” (Colossians 2:14–15).So, the first achievement is destroying Satan, and second in Hebrews 2:15 is delivering us. How? We might expect what follows in verse 17, but not expect verse 18.Verse 17 gives us one reason that he had to be made like us in every respect: so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. We had sinned and needed covering before the holy God. We had a “record of debt that stood against us” because we were humans with sin. So, to rescue us, God needed not only to become fully man, and suffer with us, but suffer for us, unto death, that his death might be for us, his brothers, the death we deserved for our sins. That's what it means when the high priest “makes propitiation for the sins of the people.” The people's sin against the holy and infinitely worthy God deserves his righteous, omnipotent wrath. And in becoming human, and suffering with us, and unto death, for us, Jesus absorbs the just penalty due us that we might be delivered from hell and the justice due our sin.And verse 18 gives us one more reason, embedded in the first, for why Jesus was made like us, in every respect, including suffering, and suffering unto death in our place.4) Jesus helps us right now.Verse 17 is amazing in that he deals with our sin, and gets us right with God, and verse 18 is amazing in that he's ready and eager to help us right now. He both makes atonement for us in his death, and he rises again, and sends his Spirit, that he might help us in our struggles right now. Look at verse 18: For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Because Jesus suffered, he can help us in our suffering. That is, because he suffered unto death to atone for our sins, he is able to indwell us by his Spirit, draw near to us in our time of need, and help us in whatever tests and challenges and trials and temptations we face in the ongoing struggle of the Christian life.Jesus not only saves us out of sin's curse, but also through sin's temptations. He atones for our sins, and stands ready to come to our aid in temptation and in our own suffering. Having saved us from sin's guilt, he is poised to save us from sin's power.So, as Hebrews 12:2 says, Jesus is not only the founder, the archegos, the beginner, the champion of our faith, but also the finisher.He's not only the beginner but finisher. Our champion not only leads the way and goes ahead of us to face the foe, but he also doubles back to check on us, to help us, to keep us.So, let's close with this question: What help do you need this Advent? How are you suffering? What's your present trial, or trials? What's testing your faith most right now? What's tempting you to sin or give up? What's your biggest need this Advent?In Advent, we don't just remember what he did in the past; we remember who he is in the present. Christmas is not only a was; it's an is. Get his help. He not only gets us; he helps us.What Child Is This?So, as we come to the Table here in Advent, let's ask for his help afresh. What need do you bring to the Table this morning? How do you need his help to persevere?The one who meets us here at the Table is fully divine, the second person of the eternal Godhead, who in his happy, expansive, overflowing, gracious nature, took our full humanity to come rescue us. And he suffered with us, and for us unto death. He destroyed Satan, and he delivers from our sins. And he rose from the dead, and ascended, and he is now enthroned in heaven, and he stands ready, by his Spirit, to help us in the fight of faith.

Welcome to a thought-provoking episode of the Tactical Living Podcast. Today, we delve into a contentious subject that has sparked heated debates across the nation: Does punishment truly fit the crime anymore?   Evolving Views on Punishment: In a society where some argue that punishments have become too lenient, leading to 'slaps on the wrist' and emboldening repeat offenders, there's a growing clamor for more stringent consequences. But are harsher penalties the solution, or is there a deeper issue at play?   The Death Penalty and its Modern Iteration: As part of the push for sterner repercussions, many advocate for the more widespread use of the death penalty. A notable example is Alabama's proposal to introduce nitrogen hypoxia — executing a prisoner by making him breathe only nitrogen. This method, deemed more humane by some, still raises ethical, legal, and moral debates about capital punishment's place in our society.   The Cycle of Repeat Offenders: One of the most significant concerns is the apparent cycle of crime, where individuals, often handed lenient sentences, find themselves reoffending. We delve into why this might be happening. Is it the justice system's failings, societal issues, or are the consequences simply not deterrent enough?   Contributing Factors: A deeper look into the factors that may contribute to the seeming disparity between crime and punishment. Factors range from overcrowded prisons, legal loopholes, societal shifts in perceiving crime and punishment, and the debate over rehabilitation versus retribution.   A Balanced Approach? While there's no denying that certain heinous crimes warrant severe punishments, a one-size-fits-all approach may not be the solution. It's essential to strike a balance, ensuring that justice is served while also addressing the root causes that lead individuals to commit crimes in the first place.   Conclusion: Join us for this deep dive into the world of crime and punishment. As we navigate the intricate web of justice, societal expectations, and morality, we aim to shed light on whether our current system needs reform or if there's a middle ground that ensures justice, fairness, and societal safety.   ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?
