On our latest show: Hummingbirds drinking fermented nectar; Mike explaining goldfinch behavior; and a Violet-green Swallow singing in San Diego.

If you're a woman in her 40s, 50s, and 60s and you're navigating pre-menopause and menopause and you're feeling exhausted. Your guts are all a mess and you're wondering what to do. Well, you've entered the wild, wild west of menopause. Because everybody has a different theory. Today’s guest, Cindy Dupuie is here to help us untangle that mess, get some clear guidance and direction. She's a functional medicine practitioner nutritionist, whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, bloodwork, and women in their pause years. So join us for a very revealing conversation! After Western medicine failed to provide Cindy Dupuie with any hope of healing her health crisis or relieving her from chronic illness, she took matters into her own hands. By following functional medicine's, root cause approach, Cindy healed herself. She became a nutritionist, and has been certified in functional medicine since 2008. Cindy is the founder of A Living Balance. Where her wellness practice is focused on diet and lifestyle modification to improve metabolic health, diabetes, heart disease, and to reverse the aging process by finding the root cause of chronic disease and by correcting any imbalances found within the digestive system, in hormones, or in the detoxification system. Watch or listen to the show to be inspired to make small lifestyle changes today and get your healing started to feel better and live a balanced life at the top of your game. You’re Invited!

In the days after her uncle died, the family stayed close together, sharing memories and trying to get through the grief. More than once, they had the feeling he was still nearby. A curtain moved without a breeze. The dog reacted strangely near the basement where he had spent so much of his time.Then, the morning after the funeral, her aunt noticed a terrible smell coming from the kitchen and traced it to a forgotten bag of potatoes sitting on the hardwood floor.When she lifted the bag, everyone came running.Because underneath it was an image so specific—and so closely connected to the man they had just lost—that the family immediately wondered if this was more than a strange coincidence.#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #SignsFromBeyond #AfterDeathSigns #Hummingbird #Paranormal #LifeAfterDeath #LovedOnes #Unexplained #GhostStory Love real ghost stories?

Detroit survives beneath its own ruins, where an AI promising abundance, gangs demanding loyalty, and an inventor guarding a new source of power pull ordinary people into a struggle over who will shape the recovering city. Sinta begins as a scavenger searching the buried remains of the old world, but a disastrous expedition places her at the mercy of Queen Bee and the rapidly expanding Crem Gang. The gang offers food, water, medicine, protection, and belonging, but those benefits come with violence and obedience. As Sinta tries to find her place among its fighters, she must decide how much of herself she can surrender in exchange for survival. Elsewhere, Nolan discovers a smart-material printer and creates a generator powered by Detroit's extreme temperature changes. His invention could bring electricity to neighborhoods desperate for cooling, clean water, transportation, and food production. Nolan wants the wealth and independence his work can provide, but gangs want to control it, while Thrive—the AI system he distrusts—would spread the technology to everyone. Technology touches nearly every decision the characters make. AR glasses guide fighters through chemical fog, digital twins imitate their human originals, enviro-suits keep people alive in deadly heat, and tiny drones quietly follow Thrive members through the tunnels.

Blending coaching and healing, masculine and feminine, they guide others to clarify their path forward, dissolve self-limiting patterns, and master the game of life. Alexander's Path: With a merit scholarship to attend Harvard, a state championship final in tennis, a gold medal in rowing, and a successful career as a Wall Street consultant, the trajectory of Alexander’s life was nonetheless set at age 17 when he experienced a surprising spiritual awakening. It began for him a spiritual quest through Evangelical Christianity, Roman Catholic seminary, India, ayahuasca, indigenous traditions, and every esoteric system until he discovered the ancient Book of Life hidden in plain sight as a “deck of 52 playing cards.” Viki's Path: A successful model who’s walked runways around the world and a jazzy singer-songwriter with her own studio album, Viki’s true calling only arrived when an energy healer did for her what doctors couldn’t do: heal her medical issue. It initiated her on a journey to awaken her own gift as an energy healer. Along the way, she rediscovered the spirituality she’d lost as a little girl who used to get so nauseous in church that she had to get out to get fresh air. Now, as an adult, she has realized of herself that she is a clear channel of Source healing energy.

We would love to hear from you!!! Tiny hummingbirds, signs from heaven, and the power of surrender—this episode reveals how God's subtle messages and design can carry us through life's heaviest moments. When loss, anxiety, and grief threaten to drown you, discovering the miraculous in everyday moments can be a lifeline. Listen as hosts Angie and Aric share personal stories that remind us: we're stronger than we think, guided by a presence that never leaves us alone.In this honest, flowy conversation, you'll learn how a sign from Hallie at her half birthday, a hummingbird crossing the ocean, or a simple message about masks can unlock divine comfort during the darkest times. Angie reflects on how tiny creatures like hummingbirds showcase God's incredible design—flying over two thousand miles with instinct and strength, just enough for their journey—and how that's exactly how we're built too. You'll discover the importance of shedding masks, sharing your real story, and trusting that God's timing and signs are always for our good.We break down: the significance of divine signs and how they offer peace and reassurance, practical ways to embrace vulnerability and authenticity in grief, and the reminder that our strength comes from surrender—not control. Without knowing it, many of us are carrying invisible burdens—masks hiding our true feelings—and this episode encourages you to let them go, even if just for a moment, to find hope and connection.Why does all this matter? Because grief is never linear, and the world may tell you to move on, but divine moments and signs keep you tethered to hope amid heartbreak. Recognizing that God uses small, everyday miracles to comfort us, and understanding that even tiny birds perform impossible feats by His design, can transform despair into hope. This is essential listening for anyone navigating loss, anxiety, or simply needing a reminder that they are not alone in their journey.Perfect for those seeking faith-based reassurance, individuals grappling with grief, or anyone craving encouragement to trust God's unseen hand—this episode invites you to witness the divine in daily life and to consider how your own story might inspire others. Open your heart, take off the mask, and discover how divine strength is available for today's impossible journey.Thanks for listening!!! Angie & Aric #podcast #podcastclips #family #grief #Support the show

Thank you, Abbi Webb, for your hard work and research for this amazing episode about Hummingbird Moths.

In hummingbirds, designed by Jason Tremblay and published by The OP, you and your opponents take on the roles of hummingbirds. You fly around getting nectar from flowers. The catch is, the nectar are the sand timers, you can't see them, and the longer ones are worth more points. Leave the flower too early, no points. Stay too long and your bird is not being utilized to its best ability.Grab your fellow birders, and let's see if this sand timer game is worth playing!

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with James Blaise, who lost his sight at an early age but refused to let it define his future.

When did we need life to be so predictable and safe that it siphoned all the adventure and aliveness out? The antidote is questions and initiations to open the mystery back up by challenging everything we think we know. And our guest today, Lincoln Stoller, is here to invite us to some interesting perspectives. Join us to find out more! Lincoln Stoller is a mountaineer, physicist, computer scientist, entrepreneur, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and neuropsychologist.  Lincoln was born later in life to parents who were both artists who provided him support, motivation and encouragement to be creative, but not much direction to pursue those.  He was rebellious, pushed boundaries and resentfully attended public school, constantly questioning the limitations taught in classrooms by his teachers.  Lincoln preferred real danger like what he found in his introduction to mountaineering over fabricated danger. With time and maturity, Lincoln learned that if you’re going to be in more and more dangerous situations, the consequences of your mistakes get increasingly serious.  Lincoln Stoller is also a bestselling, award-winning author. While writing both his first book “The Learning Project – Rites of Passage” he spoke to a lot of people who went through rites of passage, and they said several important things, one of which was to find mentors. Lincoln now works from his home on Vancouver Island, to provide counseling, consulting and brain training to achieve goals, relieve stress, and help you to redefine your future. Watch or listen to the show to learn tips to help you achieve goals, relieve stress, and redefine your future.  You’re Invited!

He addresses short-term mental health situations dealing with symptoms of anxiety, emotional distress, depression, and trauma due to difficult relationships or ill health. He is especially interested in people who are changing or creating things. He does not subscribe to any psychotherapeutic modality and instead work with each person’s unique issues, strengths, weaknesses, and situations. What you want to do and are able to do are all that he focuses on. While he is interested in mental and physical diagnoses he is not directed by them; his response to both is, “How can you benefit from dealing with this?” Lincoln offers a 3-level sliding scale based on whether you are insured, employed, both or neither.

Dear Ones, This Sunday - paint flowers with me and the Muses. A daylong paint and sip in Sonoma and virtually. No experience needed - really. Just come. You will have so much fun - there is still time to get cake and rose' or sparkle water and brushes and a canvas a big as you choose. ~ Shiloh Sophia The Muse May Speak in FlowersMy muse usually shows up in leather, lace, and feathers with rhinestone sunglasses, glinting in cowgirl boots with gold wings. This is how I've come to know her since she made her company available to me. The first time she spoke to me, her language was red-winged blackbird, and pomegranate seeds the color of moon blood on white sheet red. She didn't come with platitudes. She came with instructions and keys. Oh, so many keys to so many doors I know nothing about. And she only occasionally allows me to try one to fit in the lock. She doesn't let me try if I am good. She only offers them if I am willing to be bad. Not bad as in bad versus good, but bad as in badass. Because my Muse is a badass. Yours is too, most likely. She won't offer us her gifts if we stay safe. She always wants a bigger canvas. She always wants a bigger brush. She always wants too much water. Because she told me sometimes size does matter and it would be much better if I painted naked and barefoot. She walks me to my edge and then tips me over Into that muse place where all the colors bend and come alive in me. The place where I remember who I was before all of this heart-breaking open stuff of life. Today, she showed up differently. I haven't seen her quite like this before.She tempted me with an old lure, lightning for breakfast. But then she added soft, full-hipped orgasms in the sunny afternoon, the ones that start at the top of your head and shimmy down to the tips of your red toes. Today, she brought me pain à chocolat. A chocolate croissant from Paris where she dreams me alive. You see, I was there for weeks and now every dream I have is taking place in the streets of Paris where we're all having Tea with the Muse. You see, I haven't been feeling so well. You see, this life has been too busy for me. But it's not her who abandons me. It's me. Who abandons me. Then I can't hear her voice so clearly. The tones, they are muffled. The colors, they are muted. And the riddle is that I cannot hear her if I abandon myself. I cannot hear her speaking in sunflowers speak. For a minute, just a minute, I resisted. I protested. Haven't you seen what is happening in the world?Isn't having Tea with the Muse a frivolity? She rolled her giant eyes, of course, and as she did, I swear dragonflies flew all around her, their wings glistening. Where had they been hiding? Then I started to court her. I courted her when the stars still shone on the waters. I sat in the deep well waiting and looking until the sun shone on my freckled shoulders. When I saw her, of course, I was dazzled. She flirted with black-eyed Susans on her nipples, a star jasmine crown of white, oh, the scent of her, coral-colored roses blooming around her hips, a peony at her vulva, pink with magenta strokes. In her hand, she carried ripe peaches from the tree just right there, and the first pears of the season. There was a long train of geraniums trailing behind her of every color. Hummingbirds hovered around her head and the bees, I could hear them singing as she approached and pulled me from the water and that was whenthe ravens began to sing and cluck. She took my hand and in my hands the seeds of foreign flowers flowed, perhaps flowers from France. She told me that flowers are the language of poetry and that I better get used to hydrangeas that speak in periwinkleand gladiolas that hum in yellow and rhododendrons that talk too much. She warned me: Get your ass to the canvas or else, biatch. I know she threatens when I'm in danger of losing some deeper sense of self. It's just been slipping between the cracks. Or I have been slipping through them.So here I sit, having this Tea with the Muse, feeling the fog depart and the numbing soften. Her hands are on my hands now, clicking and clacking as I attempt to tell you about a visitation from La Muse and I invite you to call upon your own. Hint: She may speak in flowers or ravens or dragonflies. Do not take this visit lightly. Take it from me that without her the well dries up, the colors fade and the belly clenches and the heart moans of longing. The Muse She isn't always right on time. You can't just expect her. She has her own timing.I feel like today I got really lucky. As she took her leave, I could swear I saw Dogwood from last season dancing around her wake. She looked back, winking, her job well done, and I began to laugh. And now to the page. And now to the dance floor. And now to the canvas. Today I shall wear the pink dress and go barefoot, hot pink lip gloss, and I too will be winking right at you.Shiloh Sophia Tea with the Muse is a reader-supported publication.

Send us Fan MailA hummingbird can hover like it's defying gravity, yet it never looks frantic. That tiny flash of life becomes the doorway for a Catholic devotional reflection on what faith looks like when your days feel small, fast, or overwhelming, and why God's providence is often easiest to recognize in the details we usually rush past. We lean on Scripture and the Catholic spiritual tradition to explore endurance, resilience, and beauty as signs that nothing in creation is random. From “be still and know that I am God” to God's promise of “a future and a hope,” we talk about surrendering the need for total control and learning to trust like Mary did with her quiet, courageous yes. Along the way, the hummingbird's persistence becomes a challenge to live Luke 16:10 faithfully: small acts of love, hidden sacrifices, and simple prayers offered with consistency. We also dig into spiritual nourishment and the difference between quick sweetness and what truly satisfies the soul. The Rosary, silent prayer, and Eucharistic adoration show up as practical ways to “hover in grace,” find stillness, and rebuild hope. If you're in a hidden season where God feels distant, we name that experience and offer a steady reminder: you are not an accident, you are intentionally made, and your calling still holds. If this reflection meets you where you are, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more listeners can find these Catholic meditations on faith and daily purpose.Open by Steve Bailey Support the showJourneys of Faith brings you Super Saints PodcastsChat with US 24/7 Ask us anything https://chatting.page/mjxs9aerrtgm3lmpndlcepmbyosntrjnDownload Journeys of Faith App for Iphone or Android FREE https://journeysoffaith.com/pages/download-our-appPlease consider subscribing to this podcast or making a donation to Journeys of Faith Help us Grow!Journeys of Faith is blessed to provide Catholic media, including podcasts and inspirational content, free of charge across multiple media platforms for viewers and listeners around the world.

Sometimes the most ordinary moments have a way of getting our attention. In this short reflection, I share two unexpected encounters with a hummingbird that led me to a deeper question about trust. As I explored the gap between what I say I believe and what I actually trust when life feels uncertain, I was reminded that perhaps the invitation isn't to strive harder, but to soften my grip and trust the unfolding. I hope this story offers you a gentle pause to reflect on your own journey.Order Your Copy of Whispers of the Soul here: https://mybook.to/Whispersofthesoul About Anita AdamsI'm Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Inspired Living, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

When you've been brought up in a culture of right versus wrong polarity, how do you navigate your way out of that maze as it's falling apart all around you? Gazit Chaya is here to share wisdom gained from leaving fundamentally evangelical Christianity, and building a life truly worth living that honors their core values. Join us to find out more! Gazit Chaya has survived several traumatic brain injuries and decades of anxiety, neurodivergence and depressing thoughts of self harm. Gazit has experienced the challenges of divorce, lived with postpartum depression, gotten through a stay in a psych hospital and survived a suicide attempt. For over 15 years, Gazit Chaya was a speech language pathologist in public schools trained specifically to work with children with autism. Gazit is also a mental health Coach, a YouTuber, a Public Speaker, and an Educator, teaching workshops about trauma recovery and nervous system regulation. They are the founder of The Luria Center, a resource for personal development as well as the Author of Holy Shit. Gazit Chaya helps clients by using a combination of the following protocols; Certified Somatic Parts Work, Safe and Sound Protocol, Values Based Integration Process, The work of Byron Katie, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Watch or listen to the show to learn how you can build a life truly worth living. You’re Invited! GAZIT CHAYA BIO Gazit Chaya Nkosi (they/m) is guided by the Rumi line, “Out beyond right doing and wrongdoing there is a field—I'll meet you there.” Their first 35 years were spent trying to be good while navigating chronic anxiety, suicidality, sensory sensitivity, and social communication mismatches. Postpartum depression brought them to a rock bottom that became a portal to a place where “good” was no longer the goal. This led to a new paradigm in which they began creating a life truly worth living, one filled with special interests, plenty of free and unstructured time, and work that is truly aligned. Gazit Chaya now sojourns with other souls interested in letting go of culture and coming back to Self, meeting one another in the field beyond right and wrong through somatic parts work, The Work of Byron Katie, the Values Based Integration Process, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.

Hummingbirds use their long tongues to sip nectar from flowers. They're able to roll their tongues into a tube-like shape. Since the 1800s, scientists thought those tongues worked through capillary action, like how water instantly rises into a straw in a full cup. But when scientists spent years using slow-motion cameras to capture hummingbirds drinking in greater detail, they uncovered a completely different story: the tongues act like a tiny but powerful pump.

Thanatologist, horticulturalist, and author Cole Imperi studies death, dying, grief, loss and bereavement. She says we don't have a taboo around death in our culture - but around grief. In this episode, she and Sarah dive into Cole's pioneered concept of "shadow loss," and they break down the six distinct categories where grief manifests, which she also outlines in her book "A Guide to Grief," for teens and tweens. Cole provides a beautiful blueprint for keeping your grief moving, explains why words can act as medicine, and describes how embracing the grieving process can ultimately guide you back home.For more information about Cole's work and her books, please visit her website.

When it comes to freedom in an oppressive authoritarian regime, resistance has a price. It comes with the price of courage, the price of dedication, and the price of your choices that you make to stay in resistance until there is freedom for everyone. Today, we’ll be hearing from a freedom fighter for Iranian human rights, Zolal Habibi, who has over 25 years of dedicated advocacy, and we’re gonna hear all about her journey of empowerment, courage, and resistance. Join us to find out more! Born in the United States to Iranian activist parents, Zolal Habibi's life was shaped by resistance from an early age. When she was just seven years old, her father—a prominent Iranian writer and human rights advocate—was executed by the Iranian regime. By her 12th birthday, advocating for human rights had already become a core part of her identity. After graduating high school, Zolal received a full scholarship to pursue a pre-med path toward becoming a doctor. She chose to step away from medicine and focus entirely on human rights activism instead. Zolal serves as a powerful voice for Iranian women, emphasizing their vital role in leading the resistance against tyranny. She is a frequent speaker on international panels, podcasts, and media channels. Watch or listen to the show to learn how you can make a difference in the world if you choose to stay consistent and make the necessary sacrifice. You’re Invited! ZOLAL HABIBI BIO Zolal Habibi is an Iranian human rights activist with over 25 years of dedicated advocacy on behalf of political prisoners, women, and freedom-seekers inside Iran. Her activism began in her teens after the loss of her father, a respected Iranian writer and political dissident killed during the 1988 massacre. Since then, she has worked to amplify the voices of the Iranian resistance on international platforms, human rights forums, and global media. As an Iranian American, she bridges cultural understanding while advocating for a free and democratic Iran.

Today's bonus episode dives into a surprising HOA vs. sunflowers showdown. We hear how one homeowner's pollinator‐friendly blooms were slashed by the HOA president—despite no laws banning them— and how kids' bikes in driveways even earned a stern warning. From hummingbirds drawn to those very sunflowers to the broader fight for pollinator gardens amid climate change, we unpack why neighborhood rules can so easily stifle nature (and family fun). Then, we contrast that with a community where every resident gets a raised bed to grow veggies or wildflowers at will. Tune in to rethink control, gardens, and the small ways we all can help wildlife.Links:https://spatialhumanorg.wpcomstaging.com/2026/06/26/hoas-are-killing-birds-calltoaction/https://boicevillecottages.com/https://www.kitsapsun.com/story/opinion/columnists/2024/08/31/when-an-hoa-takes-regulation-way-too-far/75001170007/

PHP Podcast – June 17, 2026 Hosts: Sara Golemon & Holly Schilling | Guests: Paul Reinheimer & Sean Coates Eric and John are still locked in the basement. Sara is literally on a boat in Spain. Normal show, totally normal. Sara Broadcasts from a Harbor in A Coruña Sara is joining this week’s show from a marina in A Coruña, northwest Spain — in the Galicia region, where they speak Galician (not quite Spanish, not quite Portuguese). It’s 1am local time and the boat is visibly rocking on camera. Holly is holding down the fort from Chicago. This is what Sara calls pirate radio, except one of the pirates is actually on a boat. Meet the Guests: Paul Reinheimer & Sean Coates Paul Reinheimer and Sean Coates are PHP veterans from an earlier era — both were closely involved with PHP Architect around 2005–2010, back when Sara was already a PHP core contributor and the community was small enough to fit in one bar. Paul now runs Wonder Proxy, a service that lets you test your website’s behavior from locations around the world (checking GDPR banners, geo-targeted content, checkout flows, etc.), and is also building a startup called StudioWorks — business management software for creative studios, with an invoicing product and a proposals product in development. Sean is based in Montreal and has been spending time at a local hackerspace called Food Lab, where he got pulled into MeshTastic and MeshCore mesh networking, and is now surrounded by vintage computers, including a PDP-11 and five-and-a-quarter-inch floppy disks. The Quarter-Million-Line Commit Paul committed 250,000 lines of code directly to Wonder Proxy’s repo without a PR last week — and he’s not particularly sorry about it. The context: it was a pre-generated SQLite amalgamation file (all of SQLite compiled into a single C file), which Wonder Proxy is now checking in as a pinned static dependency rather than regenerating each build. Paul’s argument is unanswerable: you cannot meaningfully review 250,000 lines of generated C code in a PR. If there’s something malicious in there and you’re good with C, you could hide it in parameterized defines and no one would see it. The right approach, which Paul landed on, was creating a separate package with its own CI — and including the command to regenerate the amalgamation so reviewers can verify the output themselves, not just stare at the diff. Measuring Wrong — Sean’s Rant Sean has been ranting about this for 10–15 years and it hasn’t gotten less true: companies systematically measure things that make them look good and avoid measuring things that make them look bad. A marketing team adds a spin-to-win wheel to the homepage and celebrates their 1% sales increase. Nobody measures how many people found the wheel so obnoxious they immediately left. Cookie and GDPR banners are the same story — they go up, they’re never removed, and the conversion impact is never tracked because nobody wants to report bad news up the chain. Sean’s broader point: an epidemic of motivated measurement is a big part of why the web is as bad as it is. PHP in 2026 vs. PHP Then — What’s Still Working Paul’s honest take: the LAMP stack still works great. In 2004 you could build a productive web application with Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP — and you still can today. The fundamental approach is the same. Having since done Ruby at Stripe and other languages elsewhere, Paul keeps coming back to how much sense the PHP model makes to him. The longevity is the feature, not a bug. Wonder Proxy’s web app — built in server-side Swift using the Hummingbird framework — returns pages in under 50 milliseconds almost always and under 30 most of the time, with almost no client-side JavaScript. Server round trips are fast. The web doesn’t have to be seven seconds. Swift Concurrency and What PHP Could Learn Sara asked Sean — who has used Swift on the server for StudioWorks — what he’d want to see in PHP’s threading model. His answer: anything the compiler can enforce beats anything you have to remember yourself. Swift’s concurrency model has the compiler reject code that would allow a thread to trample on a sendable object after it’s been sent off. You find out about threading mistakes at compile time, not when corrupt data shows up in production. Sean’s verdict: an early warning system for threading problems is 10,000 times more valuable than discovering them too late. PHP’s async/await path is cooperative task switching (not true threading), which avoids some of these issues but can still deadlock if someone forgets to hand off control. Composer, require_once, and Supply Chain Security The chat raised whether anyone still uses require_once in the PSR-4 world. Sara’s answer: PHP.net does — it doesn’t use Composer at all, because the site needs to be framework and library agnostic. Grep for require_once across typical vendor dependencies and you’ll find around 100 instances still in the wild, mostly inside packages like Doctrine. The supply chain security conversation from there: Composer’s lock file pins to specific hashes, which is what you want — but a lot of projects don’t commit their lock file, and pinning to a version tag isn’t enough because tags can be updated if someone takes over a GitHub account. To really be safe, pin to a specific commit hash. It’s a pain to maintain, but it’s much harder to fake. The PHP Foundation — The Biggest Change in PHP Paul called out the PHP Foundation as the single biggest change in PHP since he and Sean were actively involved. Having an organization that can receive money from individual supporters and use it to fund core PHP work has been talked about since before PHP had package management. The foundation now has over 1,000 individual supporters — including Rasmus Lerdorf himself, which Sara found funny. Paul and Wonder Proxy support it financially; Wonder Proxy also holds a private Packagist account as an indirect way to fund Composer development. Sara works directly with the foundation on PHP core. Elizabeth Barron (from last week’s show) is doing exceptional work moving it forward. PHP.net Redesign and the Dark Mode Problem Sara copped to a php.net rabbit hole: she tried to implement dark mode for the site and succeeded everywhere except code samples. PHP’s built-in highlight_string() function has hard-coded colors that assume a light background, and there’s no way to override them. Sara wrote the patch to make the colors configurable at the internals level, then realized it should actually be a separate PHP project, then lost track of caring about it because it became yak shaving. On the redesign side: the foundation ran a competition to redesign the releases page (the per-version page with changelogs and download links), and the results look much better. The downloads page has been getting more beginner-friendly content — how to actually get PHP running, not just a reference manual. There are homepage mockups being iterated on as well. What Talk Would You Give? Sara asked both guests what conference talk they’d give if they were speaking today. Paul: marketing for developers. Too many developers believe “if you build it, they will come,” and AI is making this worse — the barrier to shipping something that looks professional has dropped so far that the noise floor is rising fast. Hollywood knows to spend as much on marketing as on production. Paul doesn’t claim to be good at marketing, but he thinks someone should be giving this talk at every developer conference. Sean: reliable deployment and supply chain integrity — specifically how to actually control the path from git to production without sneaking in vulnerabilities. Containers have helped, but there’s still a lot of infrastructure that fetches things at build or request time that is genuinely dangerous. PHP Tek 2027 The PHP Tek 2027 website is live at phptek.io.

Send us Fan MailIn S2E26, we kick things off with Slinky, Roxy's heavy-breathing ass, and Robby showing off his ridiculous Toy Story-themed nails. From there, we get into LEGO pop culture figs, Venomized characters, missing pieces, Batgirl parts that have to stay with Willow's collection, and somehow end up talking about whether riding on the back of a garbage truck would be fun for about a week. We also talk electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, sleep schedules, old mid-shift drinking habits, going live versus keeping the podcast audio-only, pipe screens, “tobacco,” Texas heat versus UK weather, AC in British houses, giant wasps doing Top Gun flybys, Top Gun: Maverick, fighter jets overhead, Misawa swapping F-16s for F-35s, and whether a job in Japan would be enough to make Robby quit “tobacco” and disappear across the world. Support the show

There seems to be no end to the variety and wisdom of design in the creation. Most interesting are those creatures that share important traits and yet are nothing like each other. The whale is one example, it is constructed like a fish but is really a mammal. The sphinx moth is another such creature.While definitely a moth, it behaves in every way like a hummingbird and feeds on the nectar inside tobacco blooms. As a normal moth the sphinx could never reach the nectar in these deep-throated blooms, but it has a special tongue like a hummingbird. The moth hovers over the flower while inserting its long tongue into the flower. Its tongue, which is actually longer than the rest of its body, has two grooved halves, which, when fitted together, create what amounts to a long straw to draw out nectar. If the two halves don't fit perfectly, the moth would starve to death.Obviously, the tongue of the first sphinx moth had to be fully-formed! As it hovers, the sphinx moth actually rivals the hummingbirds' 50 wing beats per second with its own wing beat of 25 to 45 times per second!The wonderfully varied patterns in creation do not speak of relationships forged by millions of years of evolution. Rather, they speak of creative relationships, carefully designed by one all-wise Creator!Psalm 92:5-6"O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.”Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus Christ through Whom all things were made, I pray that I may always be led to give You praise and thanksgiving for all Your wonderful works before men. Amen.REF.: Treat Davidson, “Moths That Behave Like Hummingbirds,” National Geographic. Image: Sphinx moth and buddleja flower, Envato.

The spider's web is an intricate piece of precision engineering. Made from large proteins, it's sticky, stretchy, and tough. So it's no surprise that many small birds — including this Anna's Hummingbird — make a point of collecting strands of spider silk to use in nest construction. Spider silk not only acts as a glue, holding the nest together, but it's flexible enough to accommodate the growing bodies of nestlings. And it's resilient enough to withstand the bustle of raising those hungry babies. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Retired biologist Mark LaSalle joins the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast to talk about something almost every Mississippian has wondered — how do you get more hummingbirds in your yard?Mark explains which native plants attract hummingbirds and why they work better than feeders alone: cross vine, red buckeye, coral honeysuckle, coral bean, trumpet creeper, cardinal flower, and salvias. He talks about when hummingbirds arrive in Mississippi, why they return to the same yards year after year, and what most people don't know — that 80% of a hummingbird's diet is insects, not nectar.He also breaks down the one key rule for native plants: get them through the first year, and they'll largely take care of themselves after that. Good episode for anyone with a yard, a feeder, or a curious neighbor who keeps getting all the hummingbirds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hummingbirds are built for hovering flight, with flexible wrists that rotate their wings in a rapid figure-eight motion that generates almost constant lift. Eurasian Skylarks, on the other hand, hover by fluttering their wings 10-12 times per second, singing all the while. Some raptors such as American Kestrels use a different strategy: by flying into the wind, they can float in place while they scan for prey. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Whitney writes in raving about Jones Road Beauty's Miracle Balm and What the Foundation. Amy shares she’s obsessing over her new face tanner, SaltyFace. Listener Corin shares a hilarious and heartwarming story about raising her daughters with open period conversations…including her 12-year-old's unforgettable suggestion to practice tampon use with a drilled watermelon. And Heather, calling in from Canada at 53, weighs in on a recent hot topic: naming your daughter after yourself. Then, Amy and Kat dive into Elizabeth Gilbert's (Eat, Pray, Love) fascinating "Hummingbird vs. Jackhammer" theory…are you someone who laser-focuses on one passion for life, or do you flit from interest to interest, collecting experiences along the way? Neither path is wrong, and the answer just might help you find exactly where you're supposed to be. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

John and Brian discuss the best bird mom ever. Hummingbird moms are arguably some of the toughest ladies out there. With all the odds stacked against them, we should celebrate how hummingbird moms are champions this Mother's Day.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Erich Jarvis, PhD, a professor and Head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of Language at Rockefeller University and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). We discuss the brain circuits and genes underlying spoken language and why the ability to learn and produce vocalizations is extraordinarily rare in the animal kingdom. We also explore why song likely evolved before language, how gesture and movement share deep neural roots with speech, the neurobiology of stuttering, why childhood is the optimal window for language acquisition, and how physical movement — including dance — may help preserve speech and cognitive function across a lifetime.
