Miriam and Noah talk about (1) Israel's bombing of Qatar, in failed hope of killing the leaders of Hamas, with the possible result of killing the negotiations over a ceasefire in Gaza, and (2) the controversial movie that aired on Israeli TV this week, after an 865 day delay, about the 1948 war, and what we ought to learn from it. For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Is my old camp counselor the guy who is maybe going to save the life of the hostages? Plus, the surprising origins of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Wall-E in the Golan Heights, and Banai kids of a new generation!

HINESIGHTS Podcast — Dr. John Gibson: Cameron's Legacy, Hope in ActionContent note: suicide loss, survival, and recovery.In this deeply personal, compassionate conversation, I sit down with Dr. John Gibson, father of Cameron, who died by suicide. John and his wife have transformed unimaginable grief into life-saving purpose through The Canmore Trust, a UK charity funding lived-experience education, compassionate training, and safer systems of care. Please visit and support their work: https://TheCanmoreTrust.co.ukJohn shares a moment that changed both of our lives. He was sitting in a seminar at the International Association for Suicide Prevention Congress in Vienna, Austria when I walked in. He recognized me and whispered, “This is Kevin Hines,” and he began to cry. Some time earlier, during his own darkest hour after losing Cameron, John had found a YouTube clip of me describing my instant regret the millisecond I leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge. That message cut across his suicidal thinking—and stopped him from taking his life.After that, John picked up my second memoir, The Art of Being Broken. He told me he read it in four hours flat, and in those pages he discovered the power of narrative—that telling your story can save other lives. He felt a spiritual calling to speak Cameron's name, share their family's journey, and move hope into action. Today, through The Canmore Trust and his courageous testimony, Cameron's story is saving lives.If you've lost someone, if you're supporting a loved one, or if you're carrying your own pain, I hope this episode meets you with gentleness and strength.

A GROUP called the International Association of Genocide Scholars issued a statement this week declaring that Israel's war against Hamas met the criteria for genocide. Not so fast! The mainstream media not surprisingly ran with the story, but only the Washington Free Beacon did actual journalism, asking some obvious questions: Who are these people? How does one become a “genocide scholar”? How many people voted on the resolution to declare Israel guilty of genocide? It turns out there are about 600 members in the IAGS, and the only requirement to become a “genocide scholar” is paying a $125 fee. Passing a resolution to declare a genocide only requires a 20% quorum, meaning only 120 members have to vote. In this case, 129 dues-paying members of the IAGS cast ballots on the resolution, which based its findings on statistics provided by Hamas, and that was enough to convince the legacy media like AP, Reuters, Washington Post, and New York Times that Israel is committing genocide. It's a propaganda war, and Israel is losing. Also: Tucker Carlson thinks Hamas is a political organization; free speech is dead in the UK; President Trump was an FBI informant in the Jeffrey Epstein case (!); and the next blood moon.

Friday Juma KhutbaSeptember 9th, 2025- Eid-e Zahra marks the symbolic closure of mourning for Karbala; soon will be the Prophet's birth anniversary.- Prophet said, “Ḥusayn is from me and I am from Ḥusayn”; Muslims must choose between Ḥusayn and Yazid.- Some Sunni scholars have defended or exonerated Yazid, Ibn Ziyād, and ‘Umar ibn Sa‘d.- The concept of “khaṭā ijtihādi” has been used to excuse Yazid's actions.- “Khaṭā ijtihādi” means a forgiven mistake after sincere effort in deriving a ruling, but only applies to unclear issues.- The status of Imām Ḥusayn (a) was clear in Qur'anic verses and Prophet's statements.- Yazid cannot be considered a mujtahid.- The concept has been selectively applied to excuse opponents of Imām ‘Ali (a) but not rebels against ‘Uthmān.- Example: Ibn Ḥazm claimed Ibn Muljim killed Imām ‘Ali (a) based on ijtihad, believing he was right.- Such arguments are rejected; oppressors must be called oppressors.- Parallel drawn with Palestine: Oct. 7, 2023, attack used as justification for Israel's assault on Gaza.- Israeli offensive devastated Gaza, destroying hospitals, schools, and displacing millions; over 63,000 killed, half women and children.- Israel weaponized food and water against civilians.- Debate continues whether Gaza situation qualifies as genocide.- Israel and Western supporters justify it as “right to defence,” similar to “khaṭā ijtihādi.”- South Africa brought a genocide case against Israel to the ICJ, and many world leaders have called it genocide.- The International Association of Genocide Scholars declared Israel's actions meet the UN legal definition of genocide.- Resolution passed with 86% support, accusing Israel of indiscriminate and deliberate attacks on civilians and infrastructure.- Irony noted that descendants of genocide victims now commit genocide under the label of self-defence.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

In this episode, Glenn and Pat take a hard look at the ethical cracks forming in the professional dog training industry. Prompted by Justin Rigney, who continues to call out deceptive trainers, telling lies or hiding their use of tools, we dive deep into the consequences of rewarding the wrong behaviours, not in dogs, but in people. Too often, we see professionals extending hospitality, collaboration, and trust to individuals or organisations who do not reciprocate. These individuals happily accept support and visibility, while simultaneously working to undermine the very values and standards that good trainers work so hard to uphold. This episode challenges that imbalance. Why do we keep giving platforms to those who distort the narrative or operate in bad faith? Furthermore, we explore how the desire to be liked or seen as reasonable sometimes results in us turning a blind eye. However, in doing so, we can inadvertently harm the industry, our clients, and ultimately, the dogs themselves. There comes a time when drawing a line is no longer a matter of ego, but a professional and moral imperative. If you're tired of watching good people get burned while others flourish through manipulation and dishonesty, this episode is for you.

I absolutely loved the conversation I had this week with Psychologist, and CEO and creator of the Tactical Longevity Training Program, Jenny Prohaska, PhD. Jenny has been helping individuals and agencies to do the hard work that it takes to change, shift, and improve culture. Asking tough questions, getting to the cause and not the symptom is what she does best. I thought the message she left us with was one of empowerment and hope and it starts with asking "why". http://tacticallongevity.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-prohaska-phd-tacticallongevity/I work with the people everyone else turns to in a crisis. That means law enforcement, fire service, emergency medicine, trauma teams, and high-stakes leaders. And I help them stay durable under pressure.After years on the clinical front-lines treating trauma, brain injury, helping people adapt to life altering physical injury in both an academic hospital setting and in private practice, I saw firsthand what breaks people. I also saw what makes them come back stronger. That became the foundation of Tactical Longevity.Tactical Longevity is not therapy. It's applied psychological science engineered for high-stress, high-stakes environments. It's designed to build anti-fragile professionals who lead better, think clearer, and recover faster when the pressure is on. My background includes:- Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, University of Kansas- Former Assistant Clinical Professor, University of Kansas Hospital Systems- Fellowship-trained in neuro-rehabilitation, brain injury, and forensic assessment- National presenter for International Association of Chief's of Police, FBI National Academy Associates, National Tactical Officers Association, and others- Developer of over 24 peer support teams across the nation, with consultation on nearly 50- Force Science Certified with specialization in Officer-Involved Shootings, Critical Incidents, and high-impact occupational injuries- Culture and organizational psychology for tactical teamsToday, I train leaders and teams across public safety, trauma medicine, and high-risk industries, delivering performance systems that reduce failure, shorten recovery, and prevent long-term psychological degradation.If your role doesn't allow for failure, burnout, or extended breaks, we should talk.Thank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

In this episode, Guy talked with  Dr. Bruce Greyson, a retired psychiatrist and an author. He discussed the transformative effects of near-death experiences (NDEs). He explained how NDEs profoundly change people's lives, making them more compassionate and less materialistic. Dr. Greyson shared compelling stories, including that of a Marine whose NDE made him unable to continue his military duties. He highlighted the growing recognition of NDEs in the medical community and the need for further research. The episode also delved into Dr. Greyson's personal journey, the scientific challenges in studying NDEs, and the universal message of interconnectedness and compassion. About Bruce: Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.  He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama's compound in Dharamsala, India. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.  He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals' attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, Amy Wheeler sits down with yoga therapist, educator, and caregiver Lisa Madden. Together, they explore the intersection of yoga philosophy and real-life caregiving through the lens of Lisa's journey—supporting both of her aging parents through dementia, cancer, and mental health crises, while navigating her own transformation as a daughter, teacher, and practitioner.Lisa shares her personal story of discovering yoga in her mid-thirties—via a Shiva Rea CD in her living room—and how her practice has grown from physical movement into a profound spiritual foundation that helps her meet grief, exhaustion, and purpose with grace. She opens up about her mother's struggle with bipolar disorder and her eventual passing, her father's ongoing experience with dementia, and how yoga philosophy, especially ahiṃsā, satya, and self-regulation, has become her compass in this season of life.Whether you are a caregiver yourself, supporting someone through chronic illness, or facing the complexities of intergenerational trauma and aging, Lisa's honesty, vulnerability, and resilience offer comfort and practical insight. She reminds us that yoga is not just something we do on the mat—it is a way we show up for life, even when life is messy and painful.Topics Covered:Lisa's first experience with yoga and her journey into teaching and yoga therapyFounding Into Yoga in Lapeer, Michigan, and transitioning ownership during a caregiving crisisHow COVID-19 impacted her studio and led to innovative online solutions for older adult communitiesSupporting a parent with bipolar disorder and navigating the grief of suicideThe long-term demands and spiritual depth of being a dementia caregiverUsing yoga philosophy—ahiṃsā, satya, saṃtoṣa, and co-regulation—as a framework for compassionate caregivingShifting from the role of daughter to contemplative caregiverPracticing yoga off the mat through biking, journaling, gratitude, and breathThe power of rewriting family narratives through the lens of forgiveness and loveReflections on grief, resilience, and the subtle body memory of loveContent Warning:This episode includes sensitive discussions around suicide, mental health, and the loss of a parent.

In December 2023, when South Africa accused Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice, I thought it was wrong to do so. Israel had been attacked. Its defense was legitimate. The blood was on Hamas's hands.But over the last year, I have watched a slew of organizations and scholars arrive at the view that whatever Israel's war on Gaza began as, its mass assault on Palestinian civilians fits the definition of genocidal violence. This is a view now held by Amnesty International, B'Tselem, Human Rights Watch, and the president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, among many othersOne reason I have stayed away from the word genocide is that there is an imprecision at its heart. When people use the word genocide, I think they imagine something like the Holocaust: the attempted extermination of an entire people. But the legal definition of genocide encompasses much more than that.So what is a genocide? And is this one?Philippe Sands is a lawyer who's worked on a number of genocide cases. He is the author of, among other books, “East West Street,” about how the idea of genocide was developed and written into international law. He is the best possible guide to the hardest possible topic.Mentioned:“What the Inventor of the Word ‘Genocide' Might Have Said About Putin's War” by Philippe Sands“‘Only the Strong Survive.'

Carl finally got a chance to interview one of the leaders of the modern day pickleball industry -- David Johnson. What a wild ride! He takes us from the early days of computer programming, website design to even the first online funeral business site. But it's the launch of Pickleball Central in 2006 that gets everyone's attention.  David and his wife Anna started by literally talking to one new pickleball player / customer at a time from their kitchen table. They ultimately built the largest pickleball company in the world with revenues of $40 million dollars a year.  It's a super fun journey through the evolution of pickleball to the sale of his company that grew along with the sport's wild popularity. Now David's second act is giving back to the industry with his International Association of Pickleball Facilities (IAPF).  You don't need to be a pickleball enthusiast to enjoy the episode. David gives great advice for someone that wants to take their career experience and build it into a meaningful second act. • More about David Johnson:  https://www.pickleballconsultinggroup.com/about • More about Association of Pickleball Facilities (IAPF):  https://pickleballfacilities.org • Episode Content:  https://pickleballmediahq.com/blog/david-johnson-interview-the-king-of-pickleball-industry-begins-his-second-act • Sponsored by Capital Advantage: https://capitaladvantage.com/promotion/retirement-planning-guide • Sponsored by How to Retire and Not Die: https://garysirak.com/how-to-retire-and-not-die • "I Used to be Somebody World Tour" -- SOLD OUT! https://pickleballmediahq.com/tour • Subscribe to the "I Used to be Somebody" newsletter:  https://pickleballmediahq.com/contact/subscribe

Lafayette Fire Chief Robert Benoit, a man who has devoted 46 years to protecting our community, recently announced his retirement. A Lafayette native, Chief Benoit joined the department in May 1979 and made history in August 1993 when he became the first Black fire chief in Lafayette's history. Under his leadership, the department expanded from seven to fourteen fire stations, modernized equipment and training, and earned improved fire ratings, saving money and lives. Chief Benoit has been inducted into the Louisiana Fire Chiefs Hall of Fame and served as President of the Southwestern Division of the International Association of Fire Chiefs. As he prepares to retire on August 15, 2025, Chief Benoit reflected on the calling he discovered as a child, the trials and triumphs of leading during economic downturns and political shifts, and the deeper sense of purpose that led him to seminary and prison ministry. “I think it was a gift that God placed in me, probably from birth… getting to how I got there was looking at a firefighter in a book at school at seven years old… and I said, ‘I want to be a firefighter.'” From Stockboy to Chief Chief Benoit's journey began with humble jobs—first at Lafayette Drug Company, then Martin Mills in St. Martinville—while waiting to meet the age requirement to become a firefighter. When the age was lowered to 18, he took the civil service exam, passed, and began training at the fire academy. His first assignment was the Central Fire Station, where he spent 99% of his career. "The first thing you get is an interview with the fire chief. The fire chief at that time was Wayne Prejean. He told me he was going to give me a shot. I remember walking out the fire station realizing that I was going to get a job. Even though I had to go through the physical process. And then from there, once I cleared the physical, I went to the academy which lasted three months. It was exciting. I did everything I needed to do." My first station was at Central Downtown, which is where I work today. At that time, we had a pumper truck and a ladder truck and a rescue truck in the station. That's where I started to learn the business of firefighting. Learning that business, reading on my own time, a lot of time in the fire station. We were very short on firefighters." “They called it ‘The Rock'... because everything comes through the Central Fire Station. That was administration, firefighters, and the communications center.” A Rapid Rise Through the Ranks Benoit was known for his drive and initiative. He became a truck driver within three years (something that on average takes about eight years), communications officer, arson investigator, and captain—a rank he reached in just six years. “I wanted to learn every section of the fire department... Didn't realize I was going to be chief. I just wanted to understand how this organization worked.” In the 1980, the local economy tanked. "I used to hear people make the comment. Last one out. Turn the lights out. They had a lot of vacant buildings and having a lot of fires that was arson.Kids were setting buildings on fire. And of course, unfortunately, some businesses were setting their businesses on fire. The fire chief at that time was Jack Massey who needed some help in the fire prevention bureau in the arson section. He asked me to go work in there just for a couple of months, just to help him out. I wound up going in there and found a home in fire prevention. So this is seven years later. I'm in fire prevention. I started learning the business of investigations. I started getting trained by ATF agents, FBI agents, insurance agents and going to school. That's where my educational level really skyrocketed. I started getting degrees and learning this business of investigating fires. The fire chief put me in charge of internal affairs for the fire department. So I pretty much did everything,

In this eye-opening episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn and Pat explore the full weight of what happens when a dog is declared a nuisance, menacing, or dangerous by council authorities. Firstly, they unpack how such labels don't just affect the dog. Instead, the repercussions ripple through entire households. Families must adjust their routines, manage legal obligations, and cope with emotional stress. Meanwhile, victims of the incident face their own challenges, often receiving little support despite the trauma they may carry. Importantly, the conversation shifts to another growing concern: the influx of underqualified trainers who are diving into these high-stakes cases. Because the space is so complex and technical, those without proper knowledge or experience often do more harm than good. Rather than helping, their involvement can escalate issues and delay meaningful outcomes. Throughout the episode, Glenn and Pat explain why navigating dangerous dog declarations requires expertise, not guesswork. Professionals in this space must understand behaviour on a deeper level, while also grasping legal context and community impact. Without that foundation, even well-meaning trainers can make mistakes that cost dearly. Ultimately, this episode serves as both a warning and a call for higher standards. It highlights the need for responsibility, not just in councils and courts, but also within the dog training industry itself. If you're a dog owner, trainer, or decision-maker involved in behavioural cases, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.

Eating disorders are complicated illnesses that skyrocketed among teenagers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pediatrician Eva Trujillo says they "literally rewire the brain," decrease brain size, and make it harder to concentrate and to regulate emotions. Malnutrition can slow the metabolism, impact bone density and even lead to cardiac arrest. But Eva says, with the right treatment, people can also recover fully. She's the president of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals and co-founder of Comenzar de Nuevo, a leading treatment facility in Latin America. Today on the show, host Emily Kwong talks about the physical and mental impacts of eating disorders with Dr. Trujillo and Moorea Friedmann, a teen mental health advocate and host of the podcast Balancing Act. Plus, how to recover in a world steeped in diet culture. Want us to cover more mental health topics? Tell us by emailing shortwave@npr.org! We'd love to know what you want to hear from us!
