A verse from Dorothy Degnitz's confirmation days that came to mind when she asked God for advice on where to work after graduating from nursing school was “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8). Inspired by a missionary nurse's presentation, she said “Yes!” to working in the LCMS mission field. In 1966 her first assignment was to Immanuel Lutheran Hospital in Eket, Nigeria. For the last 179 years of USA history, LCMS women have been “influencers” in our American culture, using their many gifts and talents to share Jesus' love in their homes, families, churches, schools, and work places. HIS Story through History: Faithful Women is a set of stories about LCMS women who applied biblical principles in their vocations; some names you may recognize, while others are known only to a few.  Listen here or read these stories at https://www.lwml.org/250   Scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version), Copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

In this episode, we'll dive into The Hartford Playbook: Surveillance, IMEs, and Claim Terminations.Disability benefits are a financial safety net when an illness or injury prevents someone from working. But even after a claim has been approved and benefits are being paid, insurers may continue to scrutinize a claimant's condition, medical records, and daily activities in search of grounds to terminate those benefits. In this episode, attorney Nancy Cavey pulls back the curtain on what some attorneys call “The Hartford Playbook”, a pattern of surveillance, independent medical examinations, paper reviews, and claim terminations that has repeatedly been challenged in federal court. Through three real Hartford disability cases, attorney Cavey examines how surveillance footage, statements from treating physicians, changes in plan administration, and reviews of years of medical records can become the basis for terminating Long-Term Disability benefits. Together, these cases reveal common strategies insurers may use to challenge claims and the legal arguments that can arise when benefits are placed at risk. This episode offers a closer look at the scrutiny that can continue after a claim is approved and provides insights for anyone receiving or relying on Long-Term Disability benefits.In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:One - Hartford IME Dooms Residential Treatment Nurse's Claim for Continuing Disability ERISA Disability Benefits - The Triple Tap Defense GameTwo - What Hartford Did When a Policyholder's Doctor Said "He Was Hopeful the Policyholder Could Return to Work In Six Months"Three - Change in Employer and Plan Administrator to Hartford Results in Claim Denial of Benefits After Five Years of Continuous Payment of BenefitsWhether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey.

A priceless pair of 18th-century pistols kicks off a blackmail scheme, a fake dealer, and a murder cover-up that stretches from Hartford to Boston and straight into the hands of Johnny Dollar. If you like fast-moving mysteries where every clue hides another lie, this one is built to keep you guessing.When a $15,000 insurance policy is written on antique Queen Anne pistols, Johnny is sent to make sure they reach Boston safely. But the messenger has already been attacked, the supposed dealer is impossible to trust, and the guns themselves seem to draw danger wherever they go. Before long, Johnny is caught between a suspicious husband, a frightened wife, and a man who may not be who he says he is.Dwight6 narrates this classic Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar installment, bringing the full hard-boiled, high-pressure investigation to life as Johnny traces the pistols from the insurance office to a hidden scheme built on deception and fear.You'll discover:why the engraved name on the pistols matters more than their collector valuehow a simple insurance shipment becomes a blackmail operationwhat the bride, the butler, and the antique weapons dealer are all hidingwhy Johnny keeps getting drugged, threatened, and pulled deeper into the casehow a dead-end weapon trail turns into a long-buried murder plotThe real stakes are bigger than stolen antiques. Someone is using the pistols as leverage to protect a secret tied to a Duke's murder, and the wrong move could expose everything. Johnny has to untangle the con before the people behind it disappear, the evidence vanishes, or he becomes the next casualty. Perfect for listeners who love vintage detective drama, smart twists, and stories where the truth is buried under layers of performance, fear, and old money. Hit play and follow Johnny Dollar through one of his strangest cases yet.

Meet Summer! This beautiful 2-year-old girl has recently come to us after a 2-month stay with her last adopter. Now, don't let this scare you off! This girl is an absolute joy and it is due to personal extenuating circumstances that her owner has been unable to keep her. She is wonderful with children and people of all ages. She gets along very well with other dogs but we are unsure about her friendliness towards cats. She is crate trained and potty trained and is definitely snuggle trained. When it is time to go out she will let you know with some firm barks. Summer absolutely loves to play ball and spend time with humans getting cuddles. With her young age she is very active and will definitely need a fenced yard to play. She likes to take herself on walks that have not been authorized by her humans so she needs to be closely watched. On her ventures she is friendly and greets everybody with a wagging tail. However, we all know puppy dogs cannot do that and stay safe. We are looking for a home for Summer so that she continues to experience family life with as little time in the shelter as possible. Her only downfall is that she does get some separation anxiety when her humans leave, which can lead to destruction of some items she's not allowed to play with. With firm training and some patience from her humans this should be something that can be overcome easily. Summer is excited to meet all potential adopters who visit her at the Van Buren County Animal Control Shelter at 58040 County Road 681 in Hartford. Our phone number is 269-621-4624.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralph welcomes Dr. Mimi Syed to discuss the recent report from Brown University's Costs of War Project: “Lethal Precision Without Accountability: Israeli Government ‘Quadcopter' Use in Gaza.” Then, Ralph speaks to Joel McCleary (former Deputy Assistant to President Jimmy Carter and international consultant) about his “Dancing in the Dark” essay series on the strategies that Trump is using to hold onto power at almost any cost.Dr. Mimi Syed is an emergency medicine physician and assistant clinical professor at University of Washington and Washington State University, and a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Dr. Syed served in Gaza at both al-Aqsa Hospital and Nasser Hospital, where she documented severe injuries from drone strikes and she has firsthand experience treating civilians targeted by the IDF. She is co-author of the Costs of War Project's new report: Lethal Precision Without Accountability: Israeli Government “Quadcopter” Use in Gaza.A lot of the attention has essentially fallen off from Gaza because of this so-called ceasefire…And the media (Western media) unfortunately is complicit in this—has no interest in covering Gaza, has no interest in covering the ongoing slaughter that's happening in Gaza.Dr. Mimi SyedThe irony of all of this is that the drones and the capabilities that these drones have to shoot and to distinguish between a civilian and a combatant—the whole purpose of this is to mitigate civilian harm. And instead, perversely, they're being used for the opposite. They're being used to target civilians and children. And in the U.N. report, they specifically talk about a soldier describing the experience, saying that it's like a video game. He can be sitting somewhere far away, away from the dangers of a military zone, away from the dangers of combatants, and essentially target whoever he wants, and shoot. And these drones have the capability of distinguishing between a child, an adult, a combatant. And most of these cases that I documented, the child was by themselves. There was no other adult harmed.Dr. Mimi SyedJoel McCleary served as Deputy Assistant to the President during the Carter Administration. As president of the Sawyer-Miller Group he oversaw international strategic advisory work for fourteen prime ministers and presidents. Currently, he is Managing Partner of Four Seasons Ventures, which has conducted in-depth studies for the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security on biodefense. These studies reviewed the emergency powers of the President in the event of a pandemic or major biological weapons attack. He is co-founder of the nonpartisan nonprofit Keep Our Republic.November 3rd is just the prelude to January 3rd—the game (so to speak) is who controls the Speakership. And that is determined by the certified members who are certified by the current House—they will determine who meets on January 3rd. So obviously what Trump does not want (or any President does not want) is there to be an opposing party's Speaker.Joel McClearyWe're not saying that anything is inevitable. We're just saying what is possible if you look at what they're saying and if you look at where they might go if they feel compelled to do so. So NSPM-7 is probably the most frightening aspect of this whole thing. And what's most frightening is how few people have focused on it. All of us need to read these documents at the ACLU (the Brennan Center has done fantastic work). And Mark Medish and I just are appalled that still, in Democratic circles or other circles, we are not yet comprehending the meaning of NSPM-7 and how it threatens each one of us in reality.Joel McClearyNews 8/21/26* This week, another round of primaries were held, most notably in Florida. For progressives, the biggest victory is that of Angie Nixon, a DSA-backed member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing Jacksonville. Nixon trounced her opponent – Alex Vindman, who testified against Trump during the 2019 impeachment effort – winning 56% of the vote to his 44% despite being outspent by a margin of 16 to 1. Forbes reports that in her victory speech, Nixon said “We have proved that everyday people are more powerful than corporations and billionaires…We went up against the political establishment, against millions of dollars of outside spending…and we won. This win was for the little guys and girls…We, the hardworking everyday people of Florida, sent a shock wave to the Washington, D.C., establishment.” Unfortunately, Nixon's candidacy, like that of any statewide Democratic campaign in the Sunshine State, remains a long shot. The last Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in Florida was former astronaut Bill Nelson in 2012.* More disappointing were the down-ballot results in these primaries. In the 20th congressional district, a majority-minority district centered on Broward County, Debbie Wasserman Schultz won with 45% of the vote, according to NBC. She defeated four Black candidates, including young progressive Elijah Manley. Wasserman Schultz previously represented the 25th district, but following the Republican-led mid-decade redistricting program carried out in Florida, she opted to seek reelection in this heavily Democratic seat. The Black candidates had tried and failed to consolidate behind a single choice.* And in Florida's 25th congressional district, ultra-zionist incumbent Congressman Jared Moskowitz “warded off” a challenge from his left in the form of Oliver Larkin, a DSA-backed union organizer. Larkin drew substantial media attention, first when he appeared on Fox and, asked about immigration and crime, he demanded accountability for “this pedophile president Donald Trump” and others implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and again during an interview with WPLG Local 10 when Larkin was “faced with genocide denial.” According to the Middle East Eye, Larkin “raised the topic of Israel's genocide in Gaza, pointing to statements and findings from institutions such as the United Nations, Amnesty International and Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem,” which the interviewer, Glenna Milberg incorrectly dismissed as “factually incorrect.” Larkin “outlined Israel's deliberate targeting of civilians, restrictions on humanitarian aid and attacks on churches, schools and other places of worship,” and Milberg again “interrupted and said his account was ‘factually not correct.'” The Middle East Eye writes that the exchange was then “cut short when Milberg said she was being told they had to wrap up the interview.”* Turning to Texas, NOTUS reports Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico – capitalizing on the acrimonious primary battle between sitting Republican Senator John Cornyn and his victorious primary opponent Texas AG Ken Paxton – has taken the extraordinary step of bringing a Cornyn aide onto his campaign. According to this piece, “Jacob Smith, who worked for Cornyn for five years as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is taking on the role of deputy policy director for Talarico's campaign.” In a statement, Smith said that he is “proud” to join Talarico's campaign and that “Instead of playing partisan politics, Talarico speaks to the needs of everyday people who day in and day out work too hard for too little.” Smith also laid into Paxton, calling him “the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power,” and urging “fellow Republicans who know Ken Paxton is unfit to serve in the Senate to finally hold him accountable at the ballot box.” This piece quotes an anonymous “Republican operative” who characterized this kind of “cross-party hire” as “unheard of.” He added that Talarico has a “better chance than any Democrat has had in the state in a very long time.”* In more primary news, last week we discussed the victory of former Hartford, Connecticut Mayor Luke Bronin over 14-term incumbent Congressman John Larson. That same day, the Lever published an exposé of Stephen Mandel, a Connecticut-based billionaire hedge fund manager and Democratic mega-donor who is the “largest bankroller of a nascent political machine promising to ‘redefine' the Democratic Party.” Via two organizations – Majority Democrats and the Bench – Mandel and his wife have funneled tens of millions of dollars to candidates of their choosing in an attempt to form a “new [political] center.” According to this report, Bronin amassed a “sizable war chest,” during his primary challenge against Larson, much of which traces back to Mandel. Not only that, apparently, Bronin “used to be on the payroll of a nonprofit funded by the billionaire,” and his campaign's policy stances reflect the network's preferences and priorities. The Lever notes that, perhaps unsurprisingly, the Mandels did not return their requests for comment.* In more Connecticut news, in the wake of Larson's defeat, local media is beginning to question whether Senator Richard Blumenthal should run for another term in 2028, with WTNH noting that he will be 82 at the end of his current term. While Blumenthal has not formally announced that he will run for a fourth senate term, he did confirm that he has a campaign committee and it is raising money. This piece notes that Blumenthal is the second oldest member of Connecticut's congressional delegation, behind only Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, 83, who represents the state's third congressional district. With the increased scrutiny on aging Democrats, and donors like Stephen Mandel bankrolling primary challenges by younger candidates, Blumenthal's decision of whether or not to run or anoint a successor could prove critical. For his part, Blumenthal is quoted saying “Age is a state of mind…and I am very, very happy doing my job right now, as energetically as I feel is appropriate.”* Senator Blumenthal features prominently in another story this week from a different part of Washington. NOTUS reports that on K Street, lobbyists for the defense industry – literally the military industrial complex – are “girding for aggressive investigations of President Donald Trump's Pentagon and the companies that do business with it,” if the Democrats retake one or both houses of Congress in the midterm elections. This piece emphasizes that Democrats have “spent two years seething that the Trump administration shut Congress out of decisions about the Pentagon, from the Iran war to politically connected contractors and a defense budget that's ballooned to $1.5 trillion.” Lobbyists are reported to be particularly wary of their clients being caught between outraged congressional Democrats and an uncooperative White House for the next two years. Blumenthal, the top Democrat on the Senate Investigations Subcommittee, is already zeroing in on 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. is an investor, and American Ventures, where Eric Trump is an investor, both of which received billions of dollars in government awards. He is quoted saying “We need to look into whether Trump's sons are profiting from investments in defense contractors that involve insider information or contracts awarded in ways that compromise defense interests.” Other investigations he signaled they might pursue include a probe of “the administration's growing reliance on single-source contracts and whether the administration has given preferential treatment to companies with political ties, particularly those that donated to Trump's White House ballroom project.” In the House, Democrats on the Armed Services Committee will likely focus on “military strategy, acquisition decisions and the Pentagon's rapidly growing budget,” while the Oversight Committee, is more focused on “corruption, conflicts of interest, companies connected to Trump allies such as SpaceX and other ethics issues.” When Republicans won control of the House, Senate, and presidency in 2024, many lobbying firms axed their Democratic staff. It seems they are beginning to regret that decision.* Our next two stories have to do with the AI boom. First, in Wisconsin, the politics of AI data centers have come to in large part define the ongoing race to succeed Democrat Tony Evers as Governor. DSA-backed candidate Francesca Hong rode her vow of a moratorium on new data center construction to front-runner status in the primary, only to lose by a hair to Evers' last minute chosen successor, David Crowley. Since becoming the nominee, Crowley has refused to adopt Hong's signature issue and his opponent, Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany is taking full advantage. According to Wisconsin Public Radio, Tiffany's campaign has released a new TV ad labeling his opponent “data center David Crowley.” In the ad, Crowley is “seen saying Wisconsin has the opportunity to be ‘an AI and a data hub not only for the entire country, but for the entire globe.'” Ironically, Tiffany himself has cast “pro-data center votes in Congress” and Crowley's campaign argues that Tiffany “wouldn't be as hard on developers as his campaign claims,” though he is now campaigning on “ending state subsidies for data centers and creating additional protections for ratepayers and the state's farmland and water.”* Next, a stunning feat of reporting by 404 Media exposed how “Amazon is buying massive quantities of books, scanning them for AI training data, and destroying them in the process.“ To investigate this, the outlet placed a tracking device in a rare book that they suspected would be acquired by an AI company for training data. Then, when indeed it was, they followed the book around the country to its final destination – an Amazon warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada – where employees say that “all [they] do is scan books..Some are assigned to cut books, and others go to receive where they get books and scan the bar codes.” The printed book is destroyed in the process. The logo of the Amazon team that works at this warehouse, called VGT3, is a dinosaur, brandishing its teeth and with a book in its hands. The piece notes that the AI company Anthropic has previously been sued for engaging in the practice of destroying rare books in order to feed them into their large language models, or LLMs, on copyright grounds, but the “judge in the lawsuit ruled it was fair use and not a copyright violation for Anthropic to scan a book for training data in part because it destroyed the original, printed copy.” The author of this piece notes that these rare books are not necessarily monetarily valuable – they could be rare because “not many copies of them were ever printed,” or “they are in a foreign language not many people speak.” Still, as one bookseller said “There are different types of value…[besides monetary value] There's historical value, intellectual value, sentimental value. All sorts of things, and all of those the AI companies don't care about. They just want the content as a bunch of words strung together.”* Finally, we turn to the Vatican, where, Drop Site reports, Pope Leo XIV is using his pulpit to call for the opening of humanitarian corridors for civilians in Sudan. In his weekly Angelus address, the first American Pope highlighted “the plight of civilians in the besieged city of el-Obeid.” In addition to his call for humanitarian corridors, the pontiff called for both sides to “cease attacks on civilian targets.” Drop Site explains that El-Obeid, the largest city in Kordofan – the region comprising central Sudan – has faced intense drone attacks as the rebels of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) battle the Sudanese army for supremacy in the region. An RSF siege has “left over 500,000 people in famine conditions for months and without supplies.” The United Nations warns that if El-Obeid falls, it could follow in the mold of el-Fasher, which fell to the RSF last year and resulted in “mass ethnic cleansing massacres by the RSF that killed an estimated 60,000 people.” We can only hope that the world will heed the Pope's plea for peace and humanitarian assistance to the civilian population of Sudan.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

This episode is sponsored by Bonebridge, the Swiss medical device manufacturer dedicated to reducing complexity in orthopaedic trauma care. Join Dr. Marc Swiontkowski of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Dr. Chip Routt of UTHealth McGovern Medical School in Houston, Texas and Dr. Michael Miranda of Orthopaedic Associates of Hartford in Hartford, Connecticut for a conversation about simplifying orthopaedic fracture fixation.  The three surgeons explore the roots of the minimalist, biology-first approach to fixation, and ask whether today's larger constructs and ever-growing implant systems are serving patients as intended. Drawing on decades of experience from the OR, the laboratory, and teaching residents, the surgeons discuss where the subspecialty of orthopaedic trauma has drifted, and offer practical advice for guiding younger surgeons to ask better questions before they open the tray. These and more topics will be discussed at the Bonebridge Education Inaugural Luncheon Symposium on Thursday, September 24th, at 12:40 PM in Exhibit Hall 4 at the OTA Annual Meeting in Nashville, TN.

After watching two actual Disney trash cans sell for more than $10,000 EACH, we had questions. Why are Disney's trash cans so iconic? What's the deal with the legendary "30-step rule?" Is there really a secret network of tubes sucking trash underneath the parks? And what happened to beloved cans like PUSH and Binny? Today we're dumpster diving into the surprisingly fascinating history of Disney Trash Cans.  From Walt Disney's obsession with keeping Disneyland clean, to talking robotic trash cans, pneumatic waste systems, trash can merchandise, and the CONTROVERSIAL new solar-powered cans taking over Walt Disney World. Yes. This is an entire video about trash cans. And yes. It's VERY important. Let us know: Have you ever used a Disney trash can as a table? And do you own any Disney trash can merch?

Spider-Man: Brand New Day leaves us with one HUGE question: Does Ned actually remember Peter Parker? In the movie's final moments, Peter finally reintroduces himself to his old best friend — and their secret handshake seems to unlock something in Ned's memory. But is he actually remembering Peter, or has he simply figured out that Peter is Spider-Man? Today J is diving into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and breaking down all the clues, from Ned's suspiciously familiar knowledge of Spider-Man to his history with magic, MJ's lingering instincts, and one VERY important encounter with the Hulk that may prove Doctor Strange's spell has some major loopholes. Because if Ned can remember Peter... maybe MJ can too. #SpiderMan #Marvel #MCU

One of the most feared inventions ever was the Linotype machine. Debuting in 1886, it was designed to eliminate tens of thousands of newspaper jobs, specifically the hand-compositors—the highly skilled workers who painstakingly picked individual metal letters out of wooden trays to set type. The Linotype instead would cast an entire line of type in molten lead (hence "line-o'-type") on the spot, working six times faster than a compositor and threating to eliminate 85 percent of the workforce (much like today’s fears of AI wiping out any white-collar job that involves a computer screen). Meanwhile in Hartford, Mark Twain was hemorrhaging his life savings into a rival typesetting machine so complex that one patent examiner allegedly went insane reviewing its 850 drawings. Both these stories show the dominance of the media world on America’s first two centuries. They also show that Linotype represents a classic example of productivity-induced market expansion. It didn't reduce the need for workers; it radically altered the economics of publishing. Newspapers grew in size because it was more affordable to print more pages, and total employment skyrocketed. Today's guest is Alex Wright, author of Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper. We discuss how the United States printed itself into existence with founding documents pulled from hand presses, why the Post Office Act of 1792 created a hidden subsidy worth $56 billion in today's dollars that turned the early republic into the most newspaper-saturated society on earth. We also dig the abnormally large body count of dead editors (because airing an important person’s dirty laundry usually lead to a duel), and the race between Twain's doomed Paige Compositor and Ottmar Mergenthaler's Linotype, the machine that Thomas Edison called the eighth wonder of the world and that ended up destroying the freewheeling printshop culture that had defined American journalism for a century but also expanded it into something different.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
