Podcasts about Instrument

In this session from the 7th Annual HVACR Training Symposium in Florida, Eric "Elk" Kaiser delivers a comprehensive workshop on airflow testing and measurement. Eric opens by challenging technicians to think beyond simply pointing an instrument at a duct and reading a number. Before selecting any tool, he argues, professionals must understand exactly what they are measuring — whether that is velocity, pressure, volume (CFM), or the mass weight of air — and why each of those values matters for designing ductwork, sizing equipment, and delivering comfort to customers. The session sets the stage for a deeper technical conversation about the physics of air and how those physics affect measurement accuracy in the real world. A significant portion of the presentation focuses on air density and how it affects the accuracy of common industry formulas. Eric walks through the origin of the widely-used 1.08 and 4.5 airflow constants, explaining that they are derived from a theoretical "standard air" condition of sea level pressure (14.7 PSIA) and 0% relative humidity — conditions that virtually no technician encounters in the field. He demonstrates how changes in altitude, temperature, and humidity all shift air density, causing those constants to become variables. For technicians working at elevations above 2,500 feet, the density difference can exceed 10%, enough to significantly skew BTU calculations and equipment performance assessments if left uncorrected. Eric also walks through a real-world scenario involving measurements taken across an operating evaporator coil, where a 3.4% density shift between return and supply could easily be misread as duct leakage. The workshop then moves into a thorough survey of airflow measurement instruments and the specific conditions each one is best suited for. Eric covers vane anemometers (large and mini), hot wire anemometers, pitot tubes, flow hoods (passive and active/fan-powered), flow boxes, the temperature rise method, and the digital TrueFlow grid. For each tool, he discusses accuracy considerations, density correction requirements, velocity limitations, placement requirements, and common mistakes. He is candid about the limitations of manufacturer performance charts, sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how one manufacturer evaluated static pressure using a six-foot plenum and four averaging probes — conditions that bear no resemblance to a cramped residential closet with a coil slammed on top of the furnace. The takeaway is that no chart, regardless of source, should be trusted without understanding the conditions under which it was created. Throughout the session, Eric emphasizes a core professional philosophy: understand your instruments, understand their limitations, and understand what level of accuracy is truly needed for the job at hand. He introduces the concept of stacked inaccuracies — where instrument error combines with density correction error to produce readings that can mislead technicians into diagnosing problems that do not exist, or missing ones that do. He concludes with a strong endorsement of the digital TrueFlow grid for residential applications, highlighting its app-based forecasting feature that allows technicians to predict whether a new piece of equipment will work on an existing duct system before the installation begins. The session closes with audience Q&A covering topics such as using density-correcting instruments to compare supply and return readings, and measuring airflow in systems with multiple filter grilles. Topics Covered What airflow measurement actually captures: velocity, pressure, volume (CFM), and mass weight of air — and why the distinction matters The origin and limitations of the 1.08 and 4.5 airflow constants, and when technicians must correct for non-standard air conditions How air density changes with altitude, temperature, and humidity — including a 22% density drop from sea level to 5,000 feet elevation Real-world example: how a 3.4% density shift across an operating evaporator coil can be mistaken for duct leakage Instrument selection overview: large vane anemometers, mini vane anemometers, hot wire anemometers, pitot tubes, and in-duct flow devices Passive vs. active (fan-powered) flow hoods — accuracy differences and the importance of using residential hoods for residential applications Proper probe placement for in-duct measurements: ASHRAE guidelines, straight-run requirements, and how turbulence affects readings Duct traverses: log Chebyshev point averaging vs. timed traverse methods, and best practices for each Manufacturer performance charts and external static pressure testing: how lab conditions differ from field conditions and why charts can mislead Motor types (PSC, constant torque ECM, constant airflow ECM) and how motor behavior affects static pressure measurement and airflow setup Manometer selection: resolution, accuracy, auto-zeroing features, and why a precise-looking display does not equal an accurate reading Temperature rise method for estimating airflow: appropriate uses with electric heat, and limitations with gas furnaces Digital TrueFlow grid: application for residential retrofit work, CFM forecasting, and evaluating existing duct systems before equipment replacement Audience Q&A: density correction on supply vs. return readings, multi-grille TrueFlow workflows, and commercial system setup strategies   You can watch the flow hood comparison video by TruTech Tools HERE.

„Nimmt KI uns Menschen die Kreativität?“ Das möchte Markus Lanz in dieser Folge von dem KI -Experten und Autor Andreas Loff wissen. Ganz im Gegenteil. „KI ist lediglich ein neues Werkzeug,“ meint Loff. Was bedeutet es dann, wenn man komponieren kann, ohne ein Instrument zu spielen? „Das ist Demokratisierung von Herrschaftswissen“, so Richard David Precht. Wo aber bleibt unser Reichtum an innerer Welt, die Lust am Verstehen und Denken, wenn die KI immer schneller und präsenter wird? Da hilft nur Bildung, die uns einerseits KI erklärt und außerdem zeigt, wie Denken und Kreativität ohne KI möglich ist, so Andreas Loff. Denn eins ist klar: Künstliche Intelligenz - die geht nicht mehr weg.

#423 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Rob Wergin about current global instability as the end of a major human evolutionary cycle and a shift from years of healing into stabilizing, going within, and building coherence. Rob described fear as a powerful, useful energy that should be redirected into presence rather than fed through overwhelm, and he offered listeners a three-part "Overwhelm" video series via a link to his contact form. He shared his Egypt trip to the tomb of Master Zoser, who he said taught him a soul-to-soul transmission through the eyes using a soft, unfocused gaze to bypass the analytical mind and rapidly calm the nervous system. Rob led Guy and listeners through a brief eye-gazing exercise, after which Guy reported heat in his hands and feet and seeing "static" in the field. They also discussed how guides are perceived through the mind's "screen," the importance of boundaries, accelerated transformation, and Rob's view that many ailments stem from unexpressed or inherited emotions, especially fear. About Rob: Rob Wergin, a remarkable individual gifted with extraordinary abilities that transcend the ordinary. Rob serves as a Clear and Sacred Instrument of Divine Healing Light, an exquisite energy of profound transformation. From the moment you encounter him, you'll find solace and comfort, as he deftly guides you through the process of releasing pain, disease, addictions, and more.  He has served as a chosen Instrument of Divine Healing Light, embodying a boundless flow of divine energy and sacred whispers from above.

In early May 2026, transport vans rolled out of Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, carrying beagles toward new lives—grass under their paws, sunlight on their faces, and homes instead of stacked wire cages. Nearly 1,500 beagles were purchased by rescue organizations like Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Beagle Freedom Project after years of documented suffering at one of the nation's largest commercial beagle breeders for biomedical research. This outcome marks a rare, tangible win for animal advocates. But it came only after daring direct-action raids, mass protests met with tear gas and rubber bullets, a special prosecutor's investigation, and persistent legal pressure. Even now, roughly 500 dogs may remain behind as Ridglan winds down its commercial breeding operations by July 1, 2026. The Ridglan story is not just about one facility. It exposes deep, systemic failures in U.S. law that leave millions of animals in laboratories with minimal protections—and even those “covered” by federal rules often receive little meaningful relief. The Raids That Forced Change On March 15, 2026, activists from groups linked to the Coalition to Save the Ridglan Dogs breached fences and buildings at Ridglan Farms. They removed around 22–30 beagles. Some were successfully rehomed; others were recovered by police. However, an estimated 2000 beagles remained in captivity, potentially subject to additional horrific experimentation. Our guest, Dean Guzman Wyrzykowski, was one of these activists. A second, larger action on April 18 drew roughly 1,000 protesters to rescue the remaining beagles. Law enforcement responded with tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. No additional dogs could be rescued that day. Dozens of protesters were arrested, including our guest on The Breggin Hour, Dean Guzman Wyrzykowski, a San Francisco Bay Area-based animal rights activist and political organizer. He is co-founder of The Simple Heart Initiative—a nonprofit dedicated to advancing species equality through open rescue, impact litigation, undercover investigations, and activist training. With over eight years in nonprofit advocacy, Dean has recruited and trained hundreds of activists and is one of the lead organizers of the Ridglan campaign. He now faces serious felony burglary charges—potentially up to 12 years in prison—along with several co-defendants for the first March 15, 2026, rescue effort. Further charges may be pending. As a top priority, we urge that the charges be reduced or dropped to reflect the vastly important ethical basis of the actions of these animal advocates. How to Help Dean Dean reports that the best way to assist him with legal costs is to become a paid subscriber to his Substack at Urbananimal.substack.com. To support ending the breeding of dogs for lab testing, go to Save the Dogs, make a donation, and join over 111,581 others who have already signed the petition to end breeding of dogs for laboratory use. These weren't the first efforts to expose and stop the abuses of these dogs. Ridglan had faced scrutiny for years, including earlier investigations. The raids amplified public outrage and accelerated negotiations between rescuers and Ridglan Farms. In late April, rescue groups announced they had reached a deal to acquire ~1,500 dogs. Transports began in early May, with many “frosted face” seniors (older dogs with graying muzzles) now adjusting to life outside the facility—initially flinching at touch but quickly learning to wag tails and play. Decades of Alleged Cruelty at Ridglan — and Why It Is Winding Down Ridglan Farms operated for decades as a major supplier of beagles for testing. Former employees and state inspections described windowless warehouses, stacked cages over waste pits, high ammonia levels, rusted wires causing injuries, and routine surgeries (including eye procedures and devocalizations) performed without anesthesia or proper pain relief—sometimes by non-veterinarians. In 2025, Wisconsin's Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) cited Ridglan for hundreds of violations. A judge found probable cause for animal cruelty. Special Prosecutor Tim Gruenke was appointed to investigate. Rather than face criminal charges, Ridglan chose to wind down. In a negotiated settlement in late 2025, the company agreed to surrender its Wisconsin commercial dog-breeding license by July 1, 2026. This effectively ends its large-scale commercial breeding and sales of beagles to external laboratories. In exchange, the state dropped the threat of felony animal cruelty prosecutions. This agreement was driven by years of accumulated citations, whistleblower testimony, undercover investigations, and intense public and activist pressure. While Ridglan can still conduct limited on-site research under its federal USDA licenses, its days as a major commercial beagle supplier are over. Parallels with Envigo and Other Scandals Ridglan is far from isolated. In 2022, a major scandal erupted at Envigo's breeding facility in Cumberland, Virginia. PETA's undercover investigation revealed severe neglect: inadequate food, veterinary care, housing, and staffing; dead puppies were left among litters; and unqualified staff performed invasive procedures. The U.S. Department of Justice intervened, leading to the rescue of over 4,000 beagles—the largest such seizure in U.S. history. Envigo (and its parent company Inotiv) later pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the Animal Welfare Act and the Clean Water Act, agreeing to pay a record $35 million+ in fines and shutting down the breeding operation. From the Beagles to the Breggins, Senator Bill Stanley Sought Justice for the Underdog At a state level, key Virginia state legislators were involved in advocating for stronger animal welfare regulations in response to documented Animal Welfare Act violations, poor conditions, and high puppy mortality in the facility. Sen. Bill Stanley (R-Franklin County) was a leading champion at the state level. He visited the facility multiple times, co-sponsored several “Beagle Bills” in 2022 (e.g., SB 87, SB 88, SB 90, SB 604) to increase oversight, close loopholes for research animals, require adoption offers before euthanasia, and penalize repeat violators. He adopted two Envigo beagles (Daisy and Dixie) and worked on adoptions/rescues. We are especially happy to acknowledge Sen. Stanley's contributions because, among several attorneys we contacted to defend us against Robert Malone's lawfare defamation suit against us for $25 million, Bill was the first attorney willing to seriously pursue our case, which ended in the presiding judge throwing Malone's case out of court. From the beagles to the Breggins, Senator Stanley has sought justice for the underdog. The Sand Fly Experiments and High-Profile Scandals Public outrage over government-funded beagle suffering peaked in the early 2020s with revelations about NIH-funded experiments under Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). One widely criticized study involved beagle puppies in Tunisia exposed to sand flies carrying parasites (to study leishmaniasis). Reports described dogs having their heads locked in mesh cages filled with infected sand flies, being used as live bait in desert cages overnight, and in some cases undergoing cordectomies (vocal cord removal) to silence barking. The experiments sparked bipartisan congressional criticism and intense media coverage. The Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) and partners filed habeas corpus petitions seeking court recognition of the Ridglan dogs' right to freedom from cruelty and immediate remedies. While initial petitions faced dismissal, appeals continue for the remaining animals. Why U.S. Law Fails Experimental Animals The core federal statute is the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) of 1966 (and its amendments), enforced by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). It sets minimum standards for housing, feeding, veterinary care, and handling of certain animals. Critical Limitations Include: Massive Species Exclusions: Rats, mice, and birds bred for research—accounting for roughly 95% of lab animals—are explicitly excluded. Cold-blooded animals and others also fall outside coverage. Weak Standards for Covered Species: Even for dogs, cats, primates, etc., the AWA permits painful procedures if deemed “scientifically necessary.” There is no outright ban on specific types of experiments. Self-Regulation via IACUCs: Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees—dominated by researchers at the institutions they oversee—review protocols. Approval rates hover near 98%, with limited external oversight. Enforcement Gaps: Under-resourced inspections, reliance on self-reporting, and modest penalties limit impact. Ridglan itself had passed many USDA inspections despite state-level findings of serious issues. Property Status: Animals remain legal property. Novel habeas efforts like the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) challenge this but face significant judicial hurdles, as courts have historically rejected animal “personhood” claims. For those of us who learned in childhood about unconditional love from our dogs, they are not only of equal value to people, but they seem on a higher spiritual level in the love they have given to us. Other frameworks, such as the Public Health Service Policy, apply only to federally funded research and offer even less robust enforcement. The 2022 FDA Modernization Act opened doors to non-animal alternatives, but broader statutory mandates for the “3Rs” (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) remain limited. Reform efforts often stall due to powerful research lobbies, congressional agriculture committees' oversight, and public support for medical research that can overshadow welfare concerns. Broader Context and the Path Forward Ridglan and Envigo show that systemic problems persist despite occasional rescues and fines. Millions of animals continue to be used annually in U.S. labs, yet positive developments exist: growing adoption of alternatives (organ-on-chip, AI modeling, human cell cultures), increased rehoming programs, and shifting public opinion favoring stronger protections. The Ridglan victory shows that sustained pressure—investigations, lawsuits, public protest, and direct rescue—can force change where law falls short. Yet relying on activists risking felony charges is not sustainable. Meaningful reform requires: Expanding Animal Welfare Act coverage to all vertebrates. Stronger, independent oversight and enforcement with real penalties. Mandatory consideration and funding for non-animal methods. Judicial tools (like effective habeas relief) to address cruelty in licensed facilities promptly. A Call to Readers The beagles now tasting freedom represent hope—but hundreds may still face uncertainty, and systemic issues persist for countless others. Share their stories. Support reputable rescues and organizations like The Simple Heart Initiative, the Nonhuman Rights Project, Beagle Freedom Project, and others working on legal and legislative fronts. Contact your representatives and demand real modernization of the Animal Welfare Act. Persistence works. Now we must translate outrage into lasting legal change—so no more facilities like this exist in the first place. What are your thoughts on balancing research needs with animal welfare?

How much business are you losing simply because you're not staying in consistent contact with your audience? Most companies don't have a sales problem—they have a follow-up problem. And follow-up isn't about chasing people…it's about staying top of mind with value, relevance, and consistency. That's why my interview with Smita Wadhawan, CMO of Constant Contact, on the THINK Business – What Are You Good At? series hit on a hard truth—consistency is the new marketing advantage. Here are 5 takeaways that stood out: ✅ Mindshare → Market Share People can't buy from you if they forget you exist. Marketing isn't optional—it's oxygen. ✅ Consistency builds trust Trust isn't built in a moment—it's built in the follow-up moments people rarely do. ✅ Simple wins Customers don't want clever. They want clear. They want fast. They want relevant. ✅ Start now—then scale Stop overthinking platforms, funnels, or brand perfection. Start small. Ship. Learn. Improve. ✅ AI is here to help, not replace Use AI to automate repetitive work—so you can stay human where it matters most.   Smita Wadhawan Verma Global Chief Marketing Officer | Top 50 CMO | PayPal | Intuit | GoDaddy | Visa | SaaS | HealthTech | FinTech Award-winning Chief Marketing Officer with experience at GoDaddy, PayPal, Intuit, VISA, and SimplePractice — across SMB/consumer, SaaS, HealthTech, and FinTech.

“I am haunted by history: the history of dictatorship, the history of empire, history as a whole,” declares the Iraqi novelist, poet, scholar, and literary translator Sinan Antoon near the start of this conversation about his most recent novel, Of Loss and Lavender. Sinan, speaking with Magalí and critic Michael Allan, goes on to say that “the novel allows for a more wholesome, in-depth confrontation with history.” That confrontation, in turn, requires narrative forms that are complex, sometimes fractured, and often non-linear in order to braid together a range of different perspectives on a particular moment or event. As Sinan observes in a discussion of the Arabic term nisyān—“forgetting” or “forgetfulness,” although its nuances in Arabic are not easily rendered in English—even memory itself is not static. And yet, shared histories of empire and imperialism make it possible to draw connections between far-flung locations, as Sinan does in Of Loss and Lavender by drawing together Iraq and Puerto Rico. From here, the conversation turns to the pleasures and challenges of translation, including some of Sinan's choices when translating his own work into English. This includes the effort to make legible the nuances of race, class, and other forms of difference across contexts; although, as Sinan notes, much of his younger readership in the Arab world today is often well-versed in US culture. The conversation concludes with a discussion of Sinan's frequent use of poems and songs in the novel, a device that points back to the multi-genre experiments of the premodern Arabic tradition, and a moving portrait of a teacher who transmitted to his students ideas about justice and equality despite the dictatorship under which he worked. Mentioned in this episode: About Baghdad The Baghdad Eucharist Mahmoud Darwish, In the Presence of Absence Darwish's “Memory for Forgetfulness” (on nisyān) The Book of Collateral Damage Elias Khoury and the use of dialect in contemporary Arabic fiction Quebecois literature Breaking Bad Um Kulthoum Learn more about your ad choices.

Beauty As Survival: Breath, Embodiment, and The First Instrument A conversation with Whitney LynnIn this episode, I sit down with embodiment coach, creative director, and longtime Breath and The Clay collaborator Whitney Lynn to explore the intersections of breath, beauty, embodiment, and the creative life.Whitney's work centers on “returning the body to the body,” helping people come home to themselves in a culture that so often pulls us toward dissociation. Together, we explore how breath is far more than a biological necessity; it is a sacred creative force, a pathway into nervous system regulation, healing, and flow. Through breathwork, we discuss how the body becomes not an obstacle to spiritual life, but our first instrument of artistry, intuition, and connection.This conversation continues on themes from our series on The Pace of Beauty, expanding the idea that beauty is not a luxury or superficial pursuit, but a necessary force for survival. Whitney offers insight into how beauty regulates us, heals trauma, and awakens us to deeper intimacy with ourselves, others, and God.Together, we also confront the inherited fear of the body present in many faith spaces, tracing how distorted ideas around embodiment have often disconnected spirituality from physical presence. Whitney invites us into a richer vision—one where the body is not something to escape, but a sacred vessel through which creativity, healing, and divine encounter unfold.Send us Fan MailSupport the showJOIN US FOR BOOK CLUB!

To the Ends of the Earth: Chosen Instrument

Matt Whitaker has been writing and directing for film and television for over 30 years. A specialist in the WWII genre, his produced screenplays include the critically acclaimed war films Saints and Soldiers and Instrument of War. In 2002, Whitaker and a film crew travelled to Germany with the last surviving member of a teenage resistance group, a powerful experience that led to the PBS documentary Truth & Conviction: The Helmuth Hübener Story. Now, his dramatic feature film, Truth & Treason, brings this incredible history to audiences across the UK.I wanted to speak with Matt to dive into the compelling history of Helmuth Hübener, the youngest person executed by the Nazi regime for opposing Adolf Hitler. As a fellow Latter-day Saint, Matt shares his 25-year journey of bringing this profound piece of history to life, the complex realities of local church leaders navigating a totalitarian state, and how recent research on Gestapo files has been changing how scholars view the Church's relationship with the Third Reich.Some highlights from this episode include:Loyalty to a Lie: Matt breaks down the incredible true story of 16-year-old Helmuth Hübener, who chose to risk everything by listening to banned BBC shortwave broadcasts to uncover the truth and launch a clandestine leaflet resistance campaign.The Words of the Leaflets: Matt reveals a crucial detail about the creative authenticity of Truth & Treason: every single sentence of anti-Nazi text typed or spoken from the resistance leaflets in the film is a direct, accurate English translation taken straight from the historical Gestapo archives.The Secret Gestapo Files: A fascinating look into additional historical research by scholar Steven Smoot and the BH Roberts Foundation, detailing a massive, Gestapo dossier that proves the Nazi regime was actively spying on and deeply suspicious of the Latter-day Saint community in Germany.The Complexity of Wartime Leadership: A nuanced discussion regarding the immense pressure faced by Hamburg Branch President Arthur Zander, exploring the difficult dual-realities of a man who was a devoted church leader but also an ardent supporter of the regime.A 25 Year Project: Matt opens up about a deeply personal spiritual experience that gave him the definitive mandate to direct this film, and how his wife's unwavering support kept the project alive through two decades of immense funding and development challenges.Truth & Treason is available on Amazon Prime Video and major UK digital platforms starting May 18 2026.Follow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.For All The Saints podcast was established in 2023 by Ben Hancock to express his passion and desire for more dialogue around faith, religious belief, and believers' perspectives on the topics of our day.

Online gambling is changing the way we watch sports. Rather than cheering for a team together, more people now focus on their individual prop bets. Russell Moore says the same thing is happening in the church as individual interests and personal goals are overshadowing our collective calling as Christ's people. Mark DeYmaz talks with Skye about how the prayer of St. Francis has helped his church navigate racial, economic, and political divisions. Christian colleges say a provision in the Republicans' Big Beautiful Bill is an "existential threat to the future of religious higher education in the US."

A tabletop exercise with 26 countries and a hantavirus outbreak: Coincidence or PSYOP? Peter Breggin MD & Ginger Breggin Mon May 11 The Breggin Hour Health, Political, Transportation https://mega.nz/file/0hI0zJAC#bg9CYz81VQXIHfuzjCKVtWsJtxeY2AWPhuBjD0QUfEc   The news hit my inbox, and I had that “here we go again” sinking feeling. Before Covid hit in 2020, there were a number of “simulation exercises” –often called tabletop exercises—supposedly to prepare countries and health agencies in the event of a large disease outbreak. Senior author Peter R. Breggin, MD, and I had tracked down and identified a number of what we called Pandemic Predictions and Planning Events” that we researched and exposed in our book COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey. Now it looked like the same deadly program was about to repeat. Jon Fleetwood, Substack author and independent investigative journalist, announced this week: “WHO Runs Pandemic Simulation ‘Exercise Polaris II.” He declared, “26 countries, 600 emergency experts, and more than 25 global health agencies and response networks participate in WHO's expanding multinational outbreak simulation.” Almost as though planned, reports of a deadly disease outbreak on board the cruise ship, Hondius, began circulating. Confirmation came days later that the disease strain was indeed the Andes virus strain of the Hantavirus (which has evidence of human-to-human spread). Meanwhile, several dozen people have left the ship and are now being tracked so contact tracing can occur. Despite the fear factor being ramped up in the media, WHO epidemiologist Maria Van Kerkhove stated Wednesday that the Hantavirus outbreak is not the next COVID pandemic. I believe this provides deniability cover for WHO, while contributing to the public confusion about the threat of Hantavirus, which will drive public opinion toward accepting global oversight (read “control”) of health matters. Our show this week featured Dr. Peter Breggin and Ginger Breggin interviewing journalist Alex Newman about the World Health Organization's pandemic simulations and globalist threats to national sovereignty. We discussed findings from a December 2, 2024, House committee report on COVID-19 origins and nursing home policies, while Newman explained how various totalitarian forces cooperate through international organizations to expand power using pandemic preparedness as justification. The conversation emphasized the importance of recognizing these threats as intentional rather than accidental and concluded with a discussion of Newman's upcoming book and the role of faith in preserving liberty. When Peter Breggin and I researched our book, we discovered events like these were harbingers of the COVID operation, which was  launched in early 2020 and led to the first-ever nearly universal lockdown of nations, resulting in demolished economies, demoralized, gaslit citizens, and ultimately millions of deaths and disabling adverse effects around the world from the so-called mRNA “Covid vaccines.” We recognized the attack on individual freedoms and liberty in the first couple of months of 2020 and went to work to uncover the real story. COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey Peter and I researched, wrote, and published the first comprehensive book on the COVID era, documenting evidence for the laboratory release of COVID, identifying Dr. Fauci's early lies to the U.S. Senate, and his extensive collaborations with other globalists and billionaires. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., now Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), stated that when our book COVID-19 and the Global Predators came out, “No other book so comprehensively covers the details of COVID-19 criminal conduct as well as its origins in a network of global predators seeking wealth and power at the expense of human freedom and prosperity, under the cover of false public health policies.” In our Covid book, we reviewed and debunked the totalitarian rules and regulations enforced all over the world in the name of public health, including the mass murder in New York State when Governor Cuomo sent sick patients into uninfected nursing homes, resulting in mass disease spread. Asking the obvious next question—who is behind this disaster? — We found and exposed Bill Gates and his master plan that implemented Operation Warp Speed in 2015-2017. Gates, along with a rogue's gallery of other predatory globalists, was identified and exposed in part three of our book. Drawing on his extensive experience as a medical-legal expert in over 100 trials in the US and Canada, Dr. Breggin assembled a chapter titled “Bill of Particulars against Dr. Anthony Fauci.” As the possibility of Fauci's formal accusation grows closer, we hope that Federal investigators will be made aware of Dr. Breggin's suggested outline and summary of possible charges against the evil perpetrator. We completed the COVID-19 and the Global Predators book by mapping out how we, citizens, can recover our liberty. Documentation included in this book includes an extensive Chronology as well as over 1100 endnotes and an extensive index. So, is it over yet? There is always that sweet, soft, naive streak in me (Ginger) that expects that once the exposure of the evil and the crime is complete, it will be fixed. Justice will be served. The mRNA “vaccines” will be abolished, victims will be cared for, and such a dreadful time will not happen again. But then the years fly by, and I set aside the soft part of me, take a deep breath, and get ready for the next onslaught. We are seeing signs now that the next pandemic operation is being considered. The psychological manipulations continue, and pressure will be put on the public to demand a global health authority, because a global health authority equals global control. We have seen this program already with COVID—Dr. Breggin and I mapped out the plan in our COVID-19 and the Global Predators book. We all need to refresh our memories about what happened—how world control was seized—and work to prevent any future recurrence. Our guest, Alex Newman, CEO of Liberty Sentinel Media, is an award-winning international journalist, educator, author, speaker, investor, nationally syndicated radio host, and consultant who “seeks to glorify God in everything he does.” The list of international and national magazines and newspapers to which he has contributed articles reads like a who's who of news.

Today we celebrate Mass for the Feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross; a Feast Day that celebrates how the Holy Cross of our Lord was discovered by St. Helen, mother of St. Constantine, after the Roman persecution of Christ and His Church. What a blessing we have so soon after Holy Week of remembering the might and loving work of Jesus Christ for us upon the Cross once again. Today we remember two revelations of what Christ accomplished for us as He lowered Himself to suffering and death on the Cross. By the Cross, we are delivered as Satan and the demonic are thrown down and maimed. And, by the Cross of Christ, we are healed. The moments in time of Christ our God upon the Cross were the very moments where everything changes. The Fall is undone and the age of the salvation of mankind is opened.

James Onieal from Raven Career Development joins Dylan and Max to unpack Spirit Airlines' wind down and what it means for Spirit pilots, regional pilots, CFIs, and anyone trying to move up the aviation ladder. The conversation gets into why experience alone will not carry you through an interview, especially when 2,000-ish highly qualified pilots suddenly enter the market. James breaks down logbooks, PRD files, recommendation strategy, corporate aviation, oil-price uncertainty, and why "preferential interview" does not mean "automatic job."

Ben Perreau, founder and CEO of Parafoil, joins Jeff Mains to explore what he calls "leadership intelligence" — a new category using AI and cognitive science to help managers become better leaders in practice, not just in theory. Drawing on a career that spans BBC and Sky News journalism, nearly a decade advising Fortune 50 executives at SY Partners, and firsthand research with 50 early-career managers, Ben unpacks why leadership challenges are fundamentally human problems regardless of seniority.The conversation covers the rise of the "accidental manager," the cognitive overload facing today's frontline leaders, why measuring leading indicators of culture beats waiting for lagging results like revenue and retention, and how the human skills we used to call "soft skills" — judgment, empathy, discernment — are becoming the most valuable work in an AI-powered world.Key Takeaways5:10 — **The Newsroom as a Leadership Lab** — The pressure-cooker of UK journalism in the early 2000s taught Ben to pursue the truth and to genuinely understand what people care about — skills that translated directly into building products and leading teams.6:07 — **Even the Most Senior Leaders Sweat the Same Things** — Working in Fortune 50 boardrooms, Ben discovered that no matter the title or tenure, executives worried about the same human problems: how they came across, whether their communication would land, how to have a tough conversation. Human problems are all the problems there are.9:37 — **The Manager Overload Crisis** — Companies like Dell are asking managers to carry 20 direct reports. The cognitive load of leadership at that scale is unsustainable, and Parafoil was built to offload that burden so managers can grow faster without burning out.16:30 — **Soft Skills Are Becoming the Work** — AI will automate judgment-free tasks. What's left — judgment, empathy, taste, discernment — is what Parafoil is built to help people develop. Skills we used to call soft skills will increasingly just be called work.20:05 — **Privacy-First by Design** — Parafoil is not a surveillance tool. Manager data is completely private to the individual. Only anonymized, aggregated signals surface at the organizational level — so trust is preserved and real growth signal can emerge.22:30 — **50 Manager Interviews Before Writing a Line of Code** — Ben spoke to 50 early-career managers before building Parafoil. At least half were accidental managers — people who became leaders not because they felt called to it, but because it was the only path to advancement.23:41 — **The Accidental Manager Problem** — Becoming a manager often shifts the role from 90% technical to 60% interpersonal overnight. Nobody trains for it. Most people are left to wing it. This is the pain Parafoil is solving.27:08 — **The Wizard of Oz Prototype** — Parafoil started with humans manually analyzing manager conversations — a two-week turnaround. That painful, low-tech process forced Ben and his team into a visceral relationship with the problem before committing to code.32:47 — **Vitamin or Painkiller?** — Ben's filter for every feature request: is this something an enterprise is enthusiastic about (vitamin), or is it something that solves real pain (painkiller)? SaaS companies must stay jobs-to-be-done led, not just request led.37:47 — **What Gets Measured Gets Managed** — Citing Peter Drucker, Ben explains that once you can measure leadership behaviors, culture forms around that metric, organizations rally behind it, and the needle actually moves. Leading indicators beat lagging ones every time.41:38 — **What AI Leaves Behind Is the Human Work** — When AI handles the routing and the mundane, what remains is judgment, influence, stakeholder navigation, and empathy. That's the bet Parafoil is taking — that the human element of work only becomes more critical, not less.43:54 — **The Founder's Paradox** — You need enormous self-belief to be a founder and profound humility to be a great leader. Dialing those two things simultaneously, in the same day, is the behavioral challenge almost every founder struggles with.Tweetable Quotes"Human problems are all the problems there are. We're all just working on the same stuff — with different orders of magnitude in the decision making." — Ben Perreau"We're not building a surveillance tool. We built Parafoil privacy-first. Everything a manager sees is completely and utterly private to them." — Ben Perreau"The moment somebody says 'you've got to lead someone,' you realize: that's a completely different job." — Ben Perreau"Revenue and share price are lagging indicators. The behavioral shifts you make in your organization — those are the leading indicators." — Ben Perreau"What gets measured gets managed. And I think if you can change your tactics mid-game, you can start to crush down the time it takes to drive real change." — Ben Perreau"Soft skills are what we used to call them. I think increasingly they're just going to be called work." — Ben Perreau"You need immense self-belief to be a founder and immense humility to be a leader. Dialing those two things in the same day is the journey we're all running." — Ben Perreau"The greatest skill anyone can develop today is the ability to embrace change — and to be comfortable being uncomfortable." — Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Leadership problems are human problems — at every level. From a junior manager to a Fortune 50 CEO, the anxieties are the same: Am I communicating well? Will this conversation go badly? Am I coming across right? Build leadership systems that acknowledge this reality rather than pretending senior leaders have it figured out.2. The accidental manager is your target customer — and your biggest people risk. When the only path to advancement runs through management, you get leaders who never wanted the role. SaaS founders need to recognize that the shift from individual contributor to manager is a 60% job change, and most people do it without any support. That gap is where culture breaks.3. Instrument your organization for leading indicators, not just lagging ones. Revenue and retention tell you what already happened. The behavioral signals — how managers give feedback, how teams communicate, how culture forms in the meetings you're not in — those tell you what's coming. Build the infrastructure to see in real time, not in hindsight.4. Privacy is the precondition for real growth signal. If people suspect their data is being used against them, they'll sanitize what they say and do. True growth data only flows in a trusted environment. Design your people systems privacy-first — not as a compliance checkbox, but as a cultural foundation.5. Do the low-tech, manual work before you automate. Parafoil's first product was humans reading transcripts and returning analysis two weeks later. That painful, expensive process gave Ben's team a visceral understanding of the problem they were solving. Before you build, get your hands dirty in the actual work.6. Balance founder self-belief with leader humility — every single day. Being a great founder requires an almost unreasonable amount of confidence. Being a great leader requires knowing how much you don't know. The founders who scale well are the ones who can hold both simultaneously — believing in the vision while remaining genuinely open to how wrong they might be about the execution.Guest Resourcesben@parafoil.cohttps://parafoil.cowww.linkedin.com/in/perreauhttps://x.com/perreauEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

C'est un événement musical que certains considèrent avec condescendance, voire mépris, comme le summum du kitsch et du clinquant. Et pourtant, le 16 mai 2026, Vienne, la capitale autrichienne, accueillera la 70e édition de l'Eurovision. Un concours de chansons fédérateur créé en 1956 par l'Union européenne de radio-télévision, retransmis en direct par une trentaine de pays dans le monde et suivi par quelque 160 millions de téléspectateurs. Mais l'Eurovision n'est pas qu'un simple divertissement, il est aussi devenu au fil des ans un enjeu géopolitique et un laboratoire des tensions contemporaines. Pourquoi l'Eurovision reste-t-il un instrument de soft power pour beaucoup d'États qui y participent ? Pourquoi un spectacle qui se voulait fédérateur est-il aujourd'hui le théâtre de rivalités identitaires ou linguistiques, d'exclusions ou de maintiens diplomatiques ? Que reste-t-il de la vocation initiale du concours : l'aspiration à la paix européenne ? L'Eurovision n'est-il aujourd'hui qu'une vitrine de la pop culture mondialisée ou demeure-t-il un espace de partage qui peut encore tirer son épingle du jeu face à la concurrence des plateformes globales ? Pourquoi les chercheurs en font-ils un objet d'étude ? On en débat avec nos invités :  Florent Parmentier, docteur en géopolitique, spécialiste des dynamiques européennes et enseignant à Sciences Po Cyrille Bret, docteur en philosophie, chercheur associé à l'Institut Jacques Delors, enseignant à Sciences Po. Tous deux ont publié Géopolitique de l'Eurovision, la bande-son de la construction européenne, aux éditions Bréal.

Today's guest lives at the intersection of craft, sound, and story. If you've ever wondered what happens when making the instrument becomes part of the art — and when music leads before meaning — this conversation will invite you to slow down, listen deeply, and sit inside the mystery.Martin Maudal is a renowned luthier, songwriter, and producer, and a graduate of Berklee College of Music. Raised in Claremont, California at the foot of Mount Baldy, and shaped by years in the New York music scene, Martin blends West Coast soul with East Coast grit.He is the founder of Maudal Musical Machines, where he hand-builds electric resonator guitars—functional sculptures and vessels of sound that he also performs and records with. What began as a way to showcase these instruments evolved into Baldy Crawlers, a deeply expressive musical collective blending Folk, Americana, Jazz, and social commentary.Martin on YouTube@maudalmusicalmachines on InstagramMartin's Facebook pageFollowing critical acclaim for “Bring Me a Flower,” Baldy Crawlers return with the haunting new single Boy, released January 9, 2026—an intuitive, open-ended work that invites listeners not to solve the song, but to sit inside it.1) When Craft Becomes the MuseMartin, Baldy Crawlers began as a way to showcase your handmade guitars—and then became something much bigger. At what point did you realize this wasn't just a marketing project, but a true artistic calling of its own?2) Music Before MeaningYour new single “Boy” started not with a concept, but with a feeling. You've said, “This one was music before it was words.” What happens creatively when you let sound lead before meaning—and how do you know when not to force interpretation?3) Instruments as StorytellersYou build the very instruments you record and perform with. How does handcrafting a guitar—its materials, weight, resonance—shape the stories that come out of it? In what ways does the instrument itself become a collaborator?4) Leaving Space for Mystery“Boy” lives in a dreamlike space where silence speaks as loudly as sound. In a world that pushes clarity, content, and explanation, how do you protect ambiguity—and why do you think listeners crave that space now?5) Empathy, Myth, and the Human PulseFrom “Bring Me a Flower” to “Boy,” Baldy Crawlers' music feels rooted in empathy and shared humanity. What themes keep returning in your work—and what do you hope listeners discover about themselves when they sit with these songs?“Before we wrap up, Martin, where can listeners explore Baldy Crawlers' music, your instruments at Maudal Musical Machines, and keep up with upcoming releases?”For creatives listening who feel pressure to explain, optimize, or over-define their work—what would you say about trusting intuition and letting the art reveal itself in its own time?Music tracks are copyrighted, provided by the artist, and used with permission."Bedlam""Boy""Bring Me A Flower""Orbelin"

Als Zhu Ling auf die Bühne tritt, sind alle Augen auf sie gerichtet. Jahrelang hat sie hart auf diesen Moment hingearbeitet. Sie nimmt an der Guqin, einem klassischen chinesischen Instrument, Platz und beginnt mit dem Zupfen der Saiten. Jede Bewegung sitzt, jeder Ton klingt klar und sicher. Zhu Ling spielt ihr Solo perfekt. Als sie fertig ist, bricht tosender Applaus aus. Doch während alle das Musikgenie feiern, sieht nur der, der genau hinschaut, wie sie sich beim Aufstehen auf dem Instrument abstützt. Zhu Ling ist froh, dass niemand gemerkt hat, dass jede Faser ihres Körpers rebelliert. Bereits seit Wochen leidet die 21-Jährige an starken Magenschmerzen, Druck auf den Augen und verschwommener Sicht. Woher die Symptome kommen, kann sie sich nicht erklären. Doch jemand anderes weiß es ganz genau. Jemand, der es auf sie abgesehen hat und will, dass sie leidet. „In dieser Folge „Mordlust – Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe“ geht es um eine junge Frau, deren Leben nach außen hin kaum perfekter wirken könnte: Eliteuniversität, musikalisches Talent, sportlicher Ehrgeiz. Doch genau solche Umfelder begünstigen Druck und Konkurrenzdenken. Außerdem schauen wir auf elitäre, abgeschlossene Systeme, in denen sich Macht und Beziehungen vielfach bestimmen und in denen es besonders schwer sein kann, die Wahrheit ans Licht zu bringen und Verantwortung einzufordern. Expert:innen in dieser Folge: China-Expertin am Mercator Institute for China Studies in Berlin, Claudia Wessling Facharzt für Toxikologie und Leiter des Forschungsbereichs Systemtoxikologie am Leibnitz-Institut der Technischen Universität Dortmund, Prof. Dr. Jan Hengstler **Credit** Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Producer: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers und Jon Handschin Redaktion: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Lisa Ludwig Schnitt: Pauline Korb Rechtliche Abnahme: Abel und Kollegen **Quellen (Auswahl)** https://t1p.de/s1cg0 https://t1p.de/ybe1v Daily Dot: https://t1p.de/wyy9n The New Republic: https://t1p.de/zg177 BBC: https://t1p.de/g5unl **Partner der Episode** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

The best thing you ever created — you probably didn't create it. Bob Dylan said he could never write a song like Blowin' in the Wind again. Marvin Gaye told Smokey Robinson that What's Going On wasn't his — it came through him. Every great artist eventually arrives at the same humbling, liberating realization: the music doesn't come from you. It comes through you. The Bhagavad Gita names this directly — Krishna says from him comes knowledge, remembrance, and forgetfulness. Whatever ability we have to create, to compose, to lift a single finger — it's being granted. And when we truly recognize that, the pressure drops and the joy deepens. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that teaching alongside the conclusion of the Govardhan Lila, where the gopis walk home singing — spontaneously composing kirtan straight from their hearts, overwhelmed with love. The means and the end are the same. In bhakti, we call it Krishnifying your life. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

This week Dylan and Max kick things off with Atlantic Bucks, the new IRS reporting threshold, and a spirited rant about airport parking, employee lots, and the endless misery of hotel vans. In the mailbag, they dig into helicopter careers, the real risk-versus-reward tradeoffs, and what that path looks like compared with airplanes. Flight Advice gets into career strategy for a maintenance pro trying to break into flying and a young regional FO deciding between staying put, jumping to 135, or chasing a bigger airplane. It's part career counseling, part curbside therapy, and very much a professional pilot problem.     Show Notes 0:00 Intro 2:02 Breaking News: IRS Changes 9:09 The System Strikes Back: Parking 21:43 News Musings 26:25 Reviews & Comments 27:54 Flight Advice-y Mailbag Our Sponsors Tim Pope, CFP® — Tim is both a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and a pilot.

Wir sprechen über Musikinstrumente und stellen schnell fest: Fast alles, womit man Musik machen kann, ist top! Janusz erzählt, wie er sich als Jugendlicher das Geld für seine erste Gitarre verdient hat. Dann schwärmen wir von Schlagzeug, Bass, Trompete, Synthesizer und vielen anderen Instrumenten. Am Ende landen wir bei dem Instrument, das uns wohl am nächsten ist… der menschlichen Stimme.   Transkript und Vokabelhilfe Werde ein Easy German Mitglied und du bekommst unsere Vokabelhilfe, ein interaktives Transkript und Bonusmaterial zu jeder Episode: easygerman.org/membership   Sponsoren Hier findet ihr unsere Sponsoren und exklusive Angebote: easygerman.org/sponsors   Top oder Flop: Musikinstrumente Familienunternehmen (Easy German Podcast 25) Vater und Sohn (Easy German Podcast 484) Jon Batiste (YouTube) Rejestracja - Wariat (YouTube) Mumford & Sons - House Of The Rising Sun (YouTube) Tangerine Dream (YouTube) Klaus Schulze - Kontinuum (YouTube) Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene (YouTube)   Support Easy German and get interactive transcripts, live vocabulary and bonus content: easygerman.org/membership

6. Oliver Cromwell: Lord Protector of the Republic Guest Author: Jonathan Healey Following the regicide, England became a republic under the "Instrument of Government," a written constitution drafted by John Lambert. Oliver Cromwell rose as Lord Protector, using military skill to bring stability to a nation surrounded by hostile European monarchs. Though he refused the crown in 1657, favoring a rule based on Parliamentary authority, Cromwell's reign was defined by his personal strength and the imposition of unpopular Puritan values. Despite his inconsistencies and brutal campaigns in Ireland, he successfully held disparate factions together until his death in 1658, after which the republic began to collapse. (6)1650 JAN LIEVENS
