Praise The Lord, Both Now And Forevermore Psalm 113:1-2 "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord.  Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.”This verse was given at the prayer group last week, and when I first looked it up, I was hesitant.  I had a little conversation with God about how I have already talked about praise a lot and that maybe I should use a different scripture.  I still think it is so crazy how I always try to talk to God about how my ideas might be better than His, or try to tell him something like He doesn't already know everything.  Anyway, while I was trying to convince God about how I wasn't sure praise was the topic I should talk about today, he reminded me of what I learned while listening to Father Mike's Catechism in a Year podcast.  This podcast is so great.  I know I have talked to several of you who started it and couldn't really get into it, and so you stopped.  I just want to say that I get it.  It was not super interesting like the Bible in a year was when it first started.  Now, I love it.  I thought it was going to be just a litany of rules that I didn't really want to listen to, but that I would because I want to be able to defend my faith to others, especially my loved ones, and also because I truly want to know why Catholic's believe what we believe.  I was so wrong.  It is not at all a litany of rules.  It is an explanation of so much.  It talks about who God is, who Jesus is, who the Holy Spirit is, and who they are in relationship to one another. That part was beautiful.  Recently, we have been talking about the mass and why, where, when, and how we meet.  I had no idea about most of the stuff he was talking about.  It helps me to see the mass in a whole new light.  A much-needed new light.  I have always liked being Catholic.  I mean, I didn't always love going to mass every single week, even when on vacation.  I didn't love getting picked up early from a friend's house so I could go to mass.  However, I did like the mass.  I like how I know what to expect; I like how every mass is the same all over the world.  I love that we have the body and blood of Jesus at Mass.  I love all the prayers and sacraments.  I love being Catholic, and yet after listening to the Catechism for a year, I am falling even more in love with our faith.  It is not just about our faith, either; it is about so many things.  I thought it would be a bit like the 10 commandments, a list of what we can do and what we can't do.  However, it explains in so much detail not only what we believe, but why we believe it, and where in the Bible you can find reference to it.  It has been amazing.This week was about the mass, and it was talking about praise, specifically praise music.  The church says that out of all of the art, out of all of the things that can help us pray well, singing and music are of inestimable value, greater than that of any other art.  That is from CCC #1156. The reason music and praise songs are so important is that they combine sacred music and words.  Many praise songs use words right out of the Bible.  I remember when I first noticed this, I was so excited.  After I went to a retreat with the Military Council of Catholic Women, I picked up a CD of Anne Trufant's music.  I had no idea that Christian music was a thing. I mean, I knew we sang songs at church, but I didn't know there was a Christian artist in all genres of music.  It was the greatest discovery ever!  While I was listening to this music all the time and starting to learn the words, I would then begin to see or hear the words when I was reading or listening to the Bible, or when I was in church.  Over the last few years, when I talk with God about the growth in my prayer life, the deepening trust I have in Him and His plan, and the calm I am able to have in the storm, He repeatedly tells me it is due to my praise.  I truly feel praise can deepen our faith more than we know.  The more we praise, the more we can see the amazing things God does for us, even in the hard times.  When we are focused on praise, we are focused on finding the good, even in a bad situation.  Praise can be hard at times.  There can be times when we feel as though we don't have any reason to praise God.  There can be times when it feels like everything is against us, and everything we try fails. When it is hard for us to praise, I think this is a sign that we need to praise all the more.  The good thing about praising God is that you can do it through listening to music.  You don't even have to say anything if you don't want to.  You can let the words of the music just wash over you.  The songwriters and singers of Christian music do such a good job of praising God.  They have taken lyrics right from the Bible and put them to music.  Not only is this good because we get to hear God's words, but also because it helps us learn them.  Matt Maher took the Our Father prayer and made it into a song with a nice beat.  He did this because one of his friends texted him one day and said that he thought it would be a great way for kids to learn the Our Father.  Just picture kids hanging out and singing along to that song.  I am betting more people have prayed the Our Father through singing that song than they did before. “He who sings,” said St. Augustine, “prays twice.” The holy Bishop of Hippo meant that singing adds to our praise and worship of God—that our voices are gifts, with which we can make music to the Lord.Another thing praise is good for is to pull you out of a dry season of prayer or an attack of Spiritual Warfare.  If you are trying to pray and yet nothing is coming, or if you are feeling oppressed by the enemy, put on some praise music.  The enemies don't understand why we praise God, especially when we are struggling. It confuses them, and they leave.  If we can praise God when we are struggling to pray, we will be rewarded.  We will see fruit from our praise.  I know I have said this before, but I will keep saying it because I know it is hard to hear. You can always praise God, even in tough times.  You don't have to praise Him for that hard time; you can praise Him for the small ways He is showing you He is there.  For instance, a beautiful sunrise, a text from a concerned friend, a really great cup of coffee, a small step in the right direction.  Whatever it is, no matter how small it is, just stop and praise God for it.  I truly believe that things get better faster when we can praise God in the middle of the storm.  Take a second and look at your life.  Where could you add a little praise to it?  Could you listen to praise music while you clean up, or while you drive?  Could you spend 2 minutes while you drink your morning cup of coffee or tea and thank God for 3 things He did yesterday?  Can you wake up and thank God for letting you wake up to a brand new day before your feet ever hit the floor?  How can we praise God today?  How can we add it to our daily routine?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we want to praise you, we want to thank you, please show us how.  Lord, we are so grateful for all you do, and we are sorry if we haven't said so lately.  We are sorry if we let the overwhelming world and our situation prevent us from seeing your glory at times.  We know you are amazing.  We know you are the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.  You are the beginning and the end, and we are so grateful for you. We are grateful that you have chosen us to have a relationship with.  We are grateful you redeemed us.  We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  If you would like an autographed copy of my book with a personal message just for you, CLICK HERE.  If you get a message that says it is unavailable, that will go away as soon as you pick regular or personalized.  Also, if you would like to receive my weekly newsletter, CLICK HERE.   I look forward to bringing you a witness tomorrow.  Remember, Jesus loves you, and so do I!  Have a blessed day! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

189 Happy Hippo Podcast - Sauerbeen by Happy Hippo

Award-winning writer/comedian and longtime Marx Brothers obsessive Elliott Kalan ("The Daily Show", "MST3K", "The Flop House", and the new book, "Joke Farming") takes us deep into the craft of professional comedy writing with a nice dose of Marx-inspired examples. Elliott details the difference between satire and parody, defends the noble pun, and tells the story behind his delightfully chaotic Marx-flavored children's book, "Sharko and Hippo".

Union spielt wieder dieses klassische „Warum-tu-ich-mir-das-an“-Spiel, das Fans lieben und Ärzt*innen hassen. Ein Mix aus Beton, Leidenschaft, Torwartspitzenleistung und kollektivem Durchatmen, wenn der Schlusspfiff erklingt: Es ist nicht schön, aber es ist Union-schön. Mü ist zurück im Therapieraum.

Ep 237 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara serve up a lighthearted holiday episode packed with farm-to-table realities, football meets farming, Western fashion collabs, and viral hippo content. Celebrity chef Tim Love explains why true farm-to-table dining is almost impossible — from inconsistent supply to the direct-to-consumer "ribeye problem." The hosts break down why local sourcing is so complex and why prices would have to rise by about 30% to make it viable. The Buffalo Bills celebrate National Farmer's Day by partnering with local dairy farmer "Farmer Shin," spotlighting New York's dairy industry. The segment also touches on quarterback Josh Allen's agricultural background, from FFA to his family's cotton and pistachio farms. Abercrombie & Fitch teams up with Kemo Sabe for a Western-inspired line. The hosts discuss whether blending mass-market and luxury works — and how the Yellowstone Effect continues to shape Western culture. A viral clip of a hippo eating a pumpkin during Denmark's Harvest Holiday leads to a conversation on seasonal feeding and closed-loop farming. The show ends with a story of a dairy farmer using colostrum to save a baby giraffe. BUT WAIT — there's more! The Disco Taste Test features a salted maple Dr. Pepper float perfect for Thanksgiving. Natalie spills hers, Tara swaps in Diet Coke, and both agree it's dangerously delicious. What We Discovered This Week

This is my relatively short talk given during the 2025 Plato's Academy multidisciplinary conference: The Philosophy and Psychology of Anger, during which I discuss some of the useful insights and practices early Christian thinkers (2nd-5th Century CE) can provide us. These don't require one to be committed to Christianity and can be applied by a wide range of people. I begin with a passage from Pierre Hadot's book Philosophy As A Way Of Life: "[Christians] believed they recognized spiritual exercises, which they had learned through philosophy, in specific scriptural passages . . . The reason why Christian authors paid attention to these particular biblical passages, was that they were already familiar, from other sources, with the spiritual exercises of prosokhē, meditation on death, and examination of the conscience.” What Hadot calls “spiritual exercises” gets called by a variety of other terms by other thinkers. Foucault's "technologies of the self", Nussbaum's "therapeutic arguments", as well as the more general "philosophical practices" many of us reference in our work and study. What we can say about these early Christian thinkers is that many had a philosophical education, had opportunities to engage with pagan philosophical schools, some of which had pretty strong religious stances, with precursor and contemporary Jewish thought, and with a variety of other disciplines like rhetoric, medicine, literature, political theory, law, history, music, etc. There was already a strong interest in issues about anger already raised and debated in ancient philosophy including: vicious anger, can anger have useful role, dangers of indulging or excusing anger, anger and courage or justice, types or levels of anger, divine anger. Early Christian thinkers rely upon or incorporating broadly Platonic psychology, and ethical conceptions drawn from Platonist, Stoic, and Aristotelian schools, but within a framework Christianity provides. The thinkers I reference and discuss in this presentation include: 2nd-4th Century CE: Clement of Alexandria 150 – c. 215 AD, Tertullian 155 – c. 220, Origen 185 – c. 253, Lactantius 250 – c. 325 4th 5th century CE: Basil of Caesarea 330 – 379, Gregory of Nyssa 335, Evagrius Ponticus 345–399 AD, John Chrysostom 347-407, Ambrose 339-397, Jerome 342–347-420, Prudentius 348-413?, John Cassian 360 – 435, Augustine of Hippo 354-430 Some of the key scriptural passages they tend to engage most heavily with include: A number of discussions of anger in Pre-Christian Jewish scriptures, particularly in the Psalms, Proverbs, and Sirach The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Paul's Letter To Ephesians, and the Letter of James There is a stress on identifying and dealing with vices that involve anger, but also on developing virtues of Patience, Humility, Mercy, and Forgiveness. They also adopt, develop, and discuss a number of useful practices for lessening, understanding, or dealing with anger.

In Episode 134 von Biene Ritter Bär eskaliert der harmonische Montags-Talk wieder herrlich chaotisch zwischen Juristerei, Waffenrecht, Mitgliederversammlungs-Deep-Dives, Bundesliga-Prophezeiungen und emotionalen Keksskandalen.   Biene Ritter Bär unterstützen:  Per Überweisung an: Hippo mit Horn e.K.

Aber hey, Dortmund bleibt entspannt, schließlich hat man jetzt sogar einen neuen Nationalspieler aus der U23 (!), der für Curaçao kickt. Globalisierung, Baby.

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: Part 2: How Does Jesus' Prayer Still Shape the World Today?Scripture:

It's Thursday, November 13th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Russia bans three Baptist churches Forum 18 reports that Russia continues to crack down on Protestant churches. Russian courts banned three Baptist churches last month for not registering with the government. The congregations are part of the Council of Churches Baptist communities. The group has seen at least 10 of its churches banned. These bans have increased over the last year. Authorities often accuse such churches of “unlawful missionary activity.” However, the Baptist churches continue to meet despite the prohibitions and potential fines. When told not to teach in the name of Jesus, the Apostles said in Acts 5:29, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” European countries upset with Russia's drones European countries are investing in anti-drone systems as Russia continues to fly drones into their regions. Russia is testing NATO borders, flying drones as far as Germany, Denmark, and Belgium. Countries that border Russia, like Lithuania, are building public defense programs to prepare for any crisis. Listen to comments made to CBN News by Vice President Tomas Godliauskas of Lithuania's National Defense. GODLIAUSKAS: “We develop kind of a strategy, how we are preparing our citizens militarily and how we're preparing all the rest of the citizens to build the resilience of our population.” UPS plane crashed in Kentucky, killing 3 aboard and 11 on ground In the United States, a UPS flight tragically crashed in Louisville, Kentucky on Tuesday evening last week. The plane crashed just after takeoff, leaving a trail of destruction through businesses and roads. The incident killed the three UPS crew members on board as well as 11 more people.  UPS said in a statement, “Words can't express the sorrow we feel over the heartbreaking Flight 2976 accident. . . . We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of our colleagues, and to the loved ones of those in the Louisville community.” Supreme Court to hear transgender sports case The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in cases involving transgender sports next year. The cases come from Idaho and West Virginia. In 2020, Idaho became the first state to require people to compete in sports according to their biological sex. West Virginia passed a similar law in 2021.  Lower courts blocked the laws. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the cases by next June. Listen to comments made to CBN News by Jonathan Scruggs with Alliance Defending Freedom. SCRUGGS: “Men are coming into women's sports and taking away podium slots and scholarships. “Just in the West Virginia case alone, since the male athlete there started participating, he's taken away over 400 slots of women and displaced girls, 1,100 times.” International Olympic Committee likely to ban transgenders In a related story, BBC Sport reports the International Olympic Committee is likely to ban transgenders next year. The decision would prohibit men, pretending to be women, from competing in women's categories. The ban would likely take effect before the 2028 Summer Olympics to be held in Los Angeles, California.  13th county in America bans abortion Dickens County, Texas is now the 13th county in the nation to outlaw abortion. County leaders voted on Monday in favor of passing a Sanctuary County for the Unborn Ordinance. Dickens County has a population of 1,725 people. And it is the eleventh county in Texas to outlaw abortion. Augustine's influence felt today And finally, today is the birthday of Augustine of Hippo!  The renowned Christian theologian was born on November 13, A.D. 354 in what is modern-day Algeria, Africa.  Augustine's early life was marred by prodigal living. His mother faithfully prayed for him for years before his eventual conversion in his 30s. This took place after he providentially encountered Romans 13:13-14. The verses say, “Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in … drunkenness … and sensuality. … But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.”  Augustine would go on to become Bishop of Hippo, a Roman province in North Africa. An able scholar, he turned his mind to the theological battles of his day, producing Christian classics like Confessions and The City of God.  Augustine's life and work would have a dominating influence on Western civilization. The Protestant Reformers, in particular, would quote him extensively in their efforts to reform the church over a thousand years later.

This is a podcast of a guest sermon, given by invitation to the Unitarian Universalist Community of Rock Tavern. In it, I discuss anger as a common problem not only of our own times, but of all times. Christian teachings on anger present us with some "hard sayings," and several 4th century thinkers -- John Cassian, Augustine of Hippo, and John Chrysostom -- are very helpful for understanding how to live with and live out these difficult requirements.

1 Timothy 2:1-7 NIV1. PRAY WITH BOLDNESS1 Timothy 2:3-4 - "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."God wants ALL people to be savedYour prayers matter more than you thinkDon't apologize for praying big prayersGod's will is for everyone to know HimFree will/predestination debates Who's your one and prayer event"If it's worth praying about, it's worth praying boldly about.""Never pray small prayers to a big God."Luke 11:9 - "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."Jesus taught us to keep asking, keep seeking, keep knockingLuke 18:1-8 - The Parable of the Persistent WidowDon't give up on people God hasn't given up onColossians 4:2 - "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."Breakthrough often comes right before we want to quit"The devil's favorite time to attack is right before your breakthrough.""Quitting on prayer is quitting on people."1 Thessalonians 5:17 - "Pray continually""Persistent prayer proves you really believe.""Monica's 30-Year Prayer"In the 4th century, there was a mother named Monica who had a son living a wild, rebellious life. He was brilliant but arrogant, involved in a cult-like religious group, living with a woman he wasn't married to, and wanted nothing to do with Christianity.For 30 years, Monica prayed for her son. Every single day. Through tears. Through disappointment. When he moved to another city to get away from her nagging, she prayed. When he seemed to get worse instead of better, she prayed. Friends told her to give up. But she wouldn't quit.One day, a bishop saw her weeping and praying again. He said, "Woman, go your way. It is not possible that the son of so many tears should perish."That son's name was Augustine. He became one of the greatest Christian leaders in history—St. Augustine of Hippo. His writings have influenced Christianity for 1,600 years.Application: "Don't you dare give up on your 'one.' Monica prayed for 30 years. How long have you been praying? 30 days? 30 weeks? Keep going. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think."2 Peter 3:9 - "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise... not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."Pray for softened hearts, not just changed circumstancesPray for divine appointments and conversationsPray for Christians to cross their pathActs 16:14 - "The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message"Pray that spiritual blindness would be lifted (lead to next bullet point)2 Corinthians 4:4 - Pray that "the god of this age" won't blind their mindsColossians 4:3-4 - "Pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message""Pray for the harvest, not just the weather."Ezekiel 36:26 - "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.""Random prayers get random results.""Aim your prayers like arrows, not shotguns."Mark 11:24 - "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."Believe God is working even when you can't see it2.

 The Post Nicene Church FathersThis engaging podcast episode features Dr. Rachel Chen and Bishop Andy Lewter exploring the profound contributions of seven pivotal Post-Nicene Church Fathers who shaped early Christianity following the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. The conversation illuminates how Athanasius defended Nicene orthodoxy against Arianism through multiple exiles, how John Chrysostom's "golden mouth" combined powerful preaching with fearless advocacy for the poor, and how Jerome's Vulgate translation became the standard Latin Bible for over a millennium. The discussion highlights Ambrose of Milan's remarkable journey from unbaptized governor to influential bishop who challenged imperial power, Basil the Great's theological refinement of Trinitarian doctrine alongside his pioneering social welfare work, Eusebius's invaluable preservation of early church history despite his theological ambiguities, and Augustine of Hippo's towering intellectual legacy encompassing everything from spiritual autobiography to political theology and the doctrine of grace. Throughout the conversation, both scholars emphasize how these diverse figures—fighter, preacher, scholar, statesman, organizer, historian, and philosopher—collectively transformed Christianity from a persecuted minority into a dominant religious and intellectual force while acknowledging their human flaws and the ongoing relevance of their insights for contemporary Christian faith and practice.

Augustine the African: Life, Conversion, and Conflict Guest: Professor Catherine Conybeare Professor Catherine Conybeare discusses Augustine the African, born in Tagaste in North Africa, who spoke Latin but was not fluent in Punic. Augustine moved to Milan, where his Christian mother, Monica, orchestrated an advantageous marriage, forcing him to cruelly separate from his partner of fourteen years and their son. After converting to Christianity and returning to Africa, he was forcibly ordained in Hippo. Augustine employed his rhetorical training, influenced by Cicero, to combat Donatism, a distinctively North African church movement that challenged orthodox Christian authority.

SHOW 10-31-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT NUKES, FIRST HOUR 9-915 Vegas Pricing, California Politics, and Fire Negligence Guest: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports on Las Vegas, where MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle admitted that high pricing strategies—including $12 coffee and $26 bottled water—were driving tourists away and causing massive revenue losses. In California, the $1.5 billion state capital refurbishment project was shrouded in secrecy, with granite quarried in California being sent to Italy for stonework to avoid high labor costs and state safety regulations. Additionally, a lawsuit alleges that LA Fire Department negligence in handling the initial Palisades fire led directly to the massive conflagration that destroyed the neighborhood. 915-930 Social Security Reform and Means Testing Guest: Veronique de Rugy Veronique de Rugy discusses the looming Social Security funding deadline around 2033, after which benefits face an automatic cut exceeding twenty percent if Congress fails to act decisively. She warns that perpetually borrowing to cover the shortfall represents the worst policy option, potentially leading to massive debt accumulation and inflation. De Rugy proposes means testing benefits as the fairest reform approach, arguing that Social Security currently transfers money from the relatively young and poor to the relatively old and wealthy, justifying progressive benefit reductions without raising taxes or disrupting the system for those most dependent on it. 930-945 Economic Indicators and AI in Business Guest: Gene Marks Gene Marks shared mixed economic indicators across the United States: slow activity in Las Vegas and struggling farm equipment manufacturers offset by busy utility distribution contractors benefiting from infrastructure spending programs. His main focus centered on artificial intelligence, advising businesses to integrate AI assistants like Grok or Claude to boost workplace productivity substantially. Marks cautioned that reliance on cloud infrastructure, highlighted by the recent AWS outage, combined with concerns about data privacy and security necessitate accepting calculated risks for potentially high rewards. 945-1000 Economic Indicators and AI in Business Guest: Gene Marks Gene Marks shared mixed economic indicators across the United States: slow activity in Las Vegas and struggling farm equipment manufacturers offset by busy utility distribution contractors benefiting from infrastructure spending programs.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Local Economies: Unexpected Closures and Steady Growth Guest: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports on unusual economic fault lines in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where a manufacturer and two restaurant chains closed due to slow business, though a major economic collapse is not imminent. Travel remained busy, and RV manufacturing appears undiminished despite economic headwinds. In Indiana, business was steady and resilient. McTague highlighted the entrepreneurial success of a Hobart, Indiana, family who transformed a one-hundred-acre apple farm into a major tourist attraction, generating significant revenue through simple, family-friendly activities and demonstrating creative economic adaptation. 1015-1030 Canadian National Unity and Alberta's Grievances Guest: Conrad Black Conrad Black reports on a debate between former Prime Ministers Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper regarding Canadian national unity, focusing on Alberta's profound discontent. Resource-rich Alberta feels unfairly treated and prevented from profiting from oil and gas development due to federal opposition to pipeline construction. Harper warned of serious national problems if the new government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, remains inflexible on energy policy. Black notes that while Canada's political institutions are durable, flexibility is required to maintain unity and coherence across diverse regions. 1030-1045 Executive Power and Constitutional Constraints Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes an executive order creating a five-hundred-person National Guard rapid response force per state for civil disturbances. He argues this improperly expands presidential power, usurping Congress's Article I authority over the militia. Epstein views this as an authoritarian extension of unitary executive theory that violates constitutional federalism. He also notes that pursuing alleged narco-terrorists in Venezuela without a Congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force is legally tenuous, as drug running constitutes a crime rather than an act of war, making military action constitutionally questionable. 1045-1100 Executive Power and Constitutional Constraints Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes an executive order creating a five-hundred-person National Guard rapid response force per state for civil disturbances.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Nuclear Testing and Proliferation Concerns Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski discusses President Trump's comments on resuming nuclear testing, suggesting Trump may favor a full yield test, last conducted in 1992, over current subcritical testing protocols. The United States maintains a formal moratorium on explosive nuclear testing. Sokolski also addresses proliferation risks associated with the United States potentially helping South Korea build nuclear-powered submarines and enabling South Korea to manufacture its own nuclear fuel. Such action would place Korea weeks away from building nuclear weapons, a development likely to provoke a strong response from Japan and destabilize the region. 1215-1230 Nuclear Testing and Proliferation Concerns Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski discusses President Trump's comments on resuming nuclear testing, suggesting Trump may favor a full yield test, last conducted in 1992, over current subcritical testing protocols.

China and Blue Origin are deemed significantly behind in their lunar efforts. Zimmerman also covers other segments including A Space Mobile competing with Starlink, semiconductor manufacturing in space, the X59 project becoming obsolete due to private innovation, and accessible Martian ice at a potential Starship landing site. The convergence of private sector capabilities and reduced government constraints suggests a fundamental shift in space exploration dynamics. 1245-100 AM Space Race and Private Industry Guest: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman discusses how SpaceX's privately funded Starship program is positioned to beat NASA, China, and Russia in establishing a lunar base, operating independently of the struggling Artemis program.

Peter Bolland, professor of philosophy and humanities at Southwestern College, explores the lasting influence of Augustine of Hippo. Born in North Africa in 354, Augustine—now known as Saint Augustine—is remembered as one of Christianity's most important thinkers. He shaped core beliefs like the doctrine of original sin and wrote The City of God, a work meant to comfort Christians after Rome fell to the Visigoths in 410. His words offered guidance in a moment of chaos and uncertainty. Closer to home, Augustine dedicated his life to persuading the people of Hippo to embrace Christianity, tirelessly working to share his vision of faith, community, and resilience.

This episode features Dr. David Bentley Hart discussing his book, The Light of Tabor: Notes Towards a Monist Christology. Hart explains his theological project as deconstructing centuries of Christological debate to move past dualistic tensions that separate the divine and human. He argues for a "radically monistic" understanding of the Incarnation, where Christ's perfect human identity is wholly and eternally transparent to the Logos.DBH's youtube channel :  @leavesinthewind7441  DBH's substack - https://substack.com/@davidbentleyhart We mention Jordan Daniel Wood, Arius, Eunomius, Paul the Apostle, John the Apostle, Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine of Hippo, Philip the Chancellor, John of St. Palmus, Aristotle, Carl Bart, Meister Eckhart, Sergei Bulgakov, Vladimir Solovyov, Sarah O'Rean, Yakob Boehme, Martin Heidegger, John Milbank, Cyril of Alexandria, Pope Leo I, Gregory of Nazianzus, John Behr and more.

In this episode on The Product Experience podcast, Lily Smith sits down with Matthew Certner, Digital Product Engineering and Design Partner at IBM, to unpack the four key traits that drive ROI in AI-powered product teams: flexibility, incremental and targeted delivery, data-led decisions, and cross-functional collaboration. Recorded live at the Industry conference, this conversation offers practical lessons for any product leader navigating the hype and reality of AI adoption. Chapters00:00 – The danger of building on gut instinct00:37 – IBM's global study on generative and agentic AI adoption01:00 – Meet Matthew Certner, Digital Product Engineering Partner at IBM02:00 – Why most enterprises aren't realising ROI from AI04:50 – What the top-performing 20% of companies do differently05:10 – The four key behaviours driving success07:00 – Flexibility: adapting quickly to market feedback08:10 – Incremental and targeted delivery — the “golden thread” principle10:30 – Data-led decision-making versus the HIPPO effect11:45 – Cross-functional collaboration and robust adoption13:10 – Behavioural factors that make or break AI adoption14:20 – Inside IBM's “value orchestration” framework15:10 – The Golden Thread in practice — a sticky-note story from Dallas17:10 – Transparency and traceability in product development18:00 – How IBM helps teams that aren't seeing value from AI21:00 – The paradox of moving too fast or too slow with AI24:00 – Making the Golden Thread a living document25:20 – Inside IBM Garage: speed of a startup, scale of an enterprise27:40 – Why productivity savings, not hype, drive AI ROI29:00 – How large organisations structure innovation teams30:00 – The future: 800 million new products by 202631:00 – Why 95% will fail — and what the 5% will get right33:10 – Final reflections: value, purpose and the human elementFeatured Links: Follow Matthew on LinkedIn | IBM Garage | Industry Conference Cleveland 2025 recap at Mind The ProductWe want to hear from you!

Welcome back Pauper fam! It's time for another Cube episode! This week, we invited our dear friend Ana Paterson onto the show to talk about her cube "The Vintage Cube Retirement Home" (aka The Boomer Cube) which has been selected for the main event at CubeCon next weekend! We're super psyched for her and we hope this discussion about the cube environment will be helpful to anyone looking forward to drafting the cube at CubeCon and maybe inspire some folks to design other unique and interesting cubes. Thank you so much for listening!Cube List: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/077a945b-f5b0-403c-8900-27bfda429257Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/kdvSavFkpzCheck out our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CommonGroundMTGUpcoming Pauper Events:10/18 - London Pauper Showdown 3 "The Dreaded Return" IPT w/ London Pauper League: https://www.badgerbadger.org/event/london-pauper-showdown-3-the-dreaded-return/10/18 - Pauper $SomethingK @ Aegis Games, Bellingham WA: https://www.aegislgs.com/product/pauper-something-k/IG3XFKZAXT5F3JTNLGM6Y5CJ?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=SY7BW2QXU7RBTHTWXCEITA6211/1 - Court of Commons Quarterly @ Enchanted Gaming Emporium, Murray KY: https://topdeck.gg/event/court-of-commons-quarterly-the-holloween-editionThe 3rd Common Ground Cup will be Saturday January 31st at Game Knight in Columbia TN!

What if the most dangerous thing about a diagnosis isn't the biology—it's the language? We ditch fatal labels, explain why PSA and other single numbers don't tell the whole story, and rebuild a saner roadmap for healing that starts with physiology: cells under toxic load switch to fermentation, and the job is to restore oxygen, balance, and flow. Along the way, we get practical about what actually moves the needle: eating real human food on a smart clock, protecting the microbiome, and using targeted, evidence‑backed tools without losing the big picture.We dig into repurposed medicines—ivermectin, fenbendazole/mebendazole, niclosamide, praziquantel, nitazoxanide—and how they can reduce parasite/protozoa burden and intersect CFC pathways like WNT/TCF, Hippo, and microtubules. You'll hear peer‑reviewed findings on prostate and colorectal lines, plus why some agents shift gut flora while others don't, and how to guard the microbiome with diet, pre‑/probiotics, and liver support. We also connect chronic sinusitis to oral health and biological dentistry, explore iron strategies that favor bone marrow when anemia hits, and outline simple routines—movement, sleep timing, breath, and light—that make your immune and endocrine systems more efficient.This conversation stays grounded in real cases and clear steps: broad lab context beyond PSA, practical cycling of medications, and terrain‑first tactics for leaky gut, H. pylori, and even lichen planus. The theme is consistent: health is continuous healing. When we choose better words, better inputs, and better rhythms, we give biology a chance to do what it's designed to do.If this helped you think differently, follow and subscribe, share it with someone who needs a clearer path, and leave a review to tell us which myth you want us to tackle next.Send us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.
