Introduction: In the dim glow of a 1940s living room, families gathered around their radios, hearts pounding as the chilling tales of "Lights Out" unfolded. This radio show, created by Arch Obler, was a masterclass in suspense and horror, captivating audiences with its eerie narratives and spine-tingling sound effects.The Haunting Stories: "Lights Out" was renowned for its ability to weave tales that were both unusual and unsettling. One such story follows Darryl Hall, a man tormented by dreams of a grotesque woman urging him to commit murder. As the narrative unfolds, listeners are drawn into Darryl's descent into madness, where the line between dream and reality blurs, leaving him questioning his own sanity.A World of Nightmares: The show's brilliance lay in its ability to tap into the primal fears of its audience. With stories that often began with a simple premise—a man who never dreams, a courtroom awaiting a verdict—"Lights Out" would spiral into a world of nightmares, where the ordinary became extraordinary, and the mundane turned menacing.Conclusion: "Lights Out" remains a testament to the power of storytelling, where the imagination is the only limit. Its legacy endures, reminding us of the thrill of a well-told tale and the enduring allure of the unknown. For those brave enough to listen, "Lights Out" offers a journey into the eerie and the extraordinary.Subscribe Now: Dive deeper into the world of classic radio dramas and explore the stories that continue to haunt our imaginations.

Proverbs 18:1

Discover why isolation intensifies struggle whilst authentic Christian fellowship provides the collective healing and restoration we desperately need in Battle Drill Daily Devotional.#BattleDrillDaily #SalvationArmyFaith #ChristianCommunity #FellowshipHealing #CommunalRestResearch from the Gallup Faith and Wellness Study confirms that religious people score meaningfully higher on social connection measures. Ecclesiastes 4:9 reminds us: "Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed."God designed us for communal restoration, not isolated recovery. The Hebrew concept of Sabbath was never individual practice but community rhythm - families, neighbours, even animals rested together. This collective pause created space for relationships to flourish and souls to be restored through connection.Through programmes like "Can We Talk," which provides collective healing through shared meals and storytelling in church basements across 20 sites in the US, we discover that the wounded heal best together. Authentic Christian community doesn't demand perfection before offering acceptance but provides safe space for honest brokenness, mutual encouragement, and shared growth.Isolation intensifies whatever we're feeling - anxiety becomes panic, sadness becomes despair, weariness becomes exhaustion. But genuine fellowship provides perspective, support, and shared strength that transforms our experience of difficulty.Scripture Focus: Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NLT) Practical Challenge: Plan one restorative activity with your faith community this week - a shared meal, collective prayer, nature walk, or service project.Experience how authentic fellowship contributes to spiritual rest and discover the healing power of carrying burdens together.You can read this week's devotionals by downloading them from here - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/uym4d6ommae6kczxpnk2n/250803.pdf?rlkey=380ca2uz5z26o6aov5oq98it4&dl=0Visit battledrilldevotional.com for more devotionals.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses grief and loss of a child. Listener discretion is advised. What do you do when your entire sense of self feels in flux? For April and Michelle, quitting alcohol has brought unexpected challenges. While their initial decision to stop drinking opened doors to new possibilities, it's also left them facing an uncomfortable reality—feeling lost. April, who has been alcohol-free for months, is navigating a shrinking world and struggling with the idea of belonging, while Michelle, just a few weeks into her alcohol-free journey, is questioning her identity and place in social circles. In this episode, Coach Zoe speaks with both April and Michelle about the discomfort of finding who you really are when alcohol is no longer your coping mechanism. They share their experiences of feeling lost after quitting drinking, the fear of being judged, and how they're learning to build authentic connections without alcohol. In April's Session: Still seeing alcohol as providing relief for anxiety and stress The necessity of being challenged to build a relationship of a life without alcohol Feeling her world shrink initially after quitting, despite hopes for new connections The pain of friends deciding she's "not fun anymore" after quitting drinking The challenge of making new friends as an adult, like being the "lone reader" at book club Navigating life as a bereaved mother and feeling that part of her isn't "fun" for others The lifelong feeling of not fitting in and not belonging How protecting herself shows up in current social interactions The fear of putting herself out there and being judged The struggle of figuring out what to do when everything looks different than imagined The desire for authentic connection over superficial relationships Realizing "we always teach what we need to learn” And more… In Michelle's Session: The fear of losing all her friends and her identity Grappling with the question: "Who will I be if I don't drink?" The realization that avoiding everyone isn't sustainable Feeling lost after quitting drinking and worried about what her new life looks like Confronting the belief that we "know what other people are thinking of us" Understanding that the voice of judgment is often her own Coping for 30-odd years by numbing with alcohol Feeling "wide open with feelings" in early days alcohol-free The importance of learning new coping mechanisms Realizing how normalized and addictive alcohol is in society The courage it takes to go against the grain of drinking culture Learning that we need to feel who we are, not just think it And other topics… Zoe Ewart is a Certified Naked Mind Senior Coach who brings her experience and understanding to help with the tricky parts of life's big changes. Her coaching gives you an enjoyable, light-hearted, and safe environment to effortlessly take back control of alcohol so you can feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually.

This week marks 80 years since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we're taking a deep dive into Japan's extraordinary economic story. In part one of our two-part series, we explore how Japan went from a feudal, isolated society to one of the most powerful economies in the world. With our guest Russell Jones, a brilliant economist and my old boss, we look at the Meiji Restoration, post-war reconstruction under America's wing, and the wild property and stock market bubble of the 1980s. Along the way, we chat about Trump's war on economic statistics, a touch of Cold War nuclear tension, and even a special Electric Picnic-related announcement! Hosted on Acast.

On this summer edition of Points of View, our panel (Tarjinder Gill, Yasmin Omar, Rae Whitehouse and Lucy Trimnell) explore two big issues shaking the education world: the growing number of consultants and ex-teachers shaping school policy from the outside, and a controversial court case over the use of long-term isolation in schools. Is it possible to advise schools effectively without being in the classroom? What's the true cost of external expertise? And when does helpful CPD cross the line into 'snake oil'? Then, the discussion turns to a recent High Court ruling in favour of a Leeds school whose isolation policy was challenged by three pupils. The panel looks at the complex tensions between duty of care, student behaviour, teacher wellbeing, and the limits of the judicial system in shaping school policy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cihnyk5LyLE&list=RDCihnyk5LyLE&start_radio=1Suicide Star Live at OLG Fallsview Casino Formed in late 2020 and comprised of veteran musicians Rob Barton, Dakota Prince, Aki Maris, Gary Borden and Brian Hamilton, Suicide Star has a dynamic and cutting-edge hard rock sound, mixing the familiar with the new while delivering a heavy bite with catchy ear-splitting melodies.Having played in multiple bands and recording acts as well as touring through Canada and parts of the U.S. Suicide Star are no strangers to success. Aki and Brian are ex members of long-time recording act, Step Echo, who's two studio albums gained considerable popularity in their native Canada and overseas. Gary Borden has had prolific success playing as a member of such bands as Sass Jordan, Helix and Gowan. Dakota Prince, also familiar with the spotlight has shared the stage with such bands as George Canyon, Big Sugar and Headley while having his music played country wide on such stations as 97.7 HTZ FM and 91.3 FM. When Step Echo split in late 2018 Brian and Aki felt they still had some music left in them to write and after a brief hiatus, decided the time was right for something new. In early 2020, excited about the prospect of a fresh start, the band needed a new lead vocalist. Founding member and drummer of Step Echo, Brian Hamilton, reached out to high school friend, Rob Barton--himself a veteran of the Ontario music scene who played alongside bands such as Collective Soul, Lee Aaron and Killer Dwarfs--asking if he would be interested in providing lead vocals for a new project. Realizing he was enthusiastic to write and record again, Rob readily agreed. After a successful meeting with the guys over a few drinks on a local patio, Suicide Star was formed.A year in the making and recorded individually in their own homes, Suicide Star's debut album—aptly named Isolation—is a labor of love. It defies conventional categorization, while delivering a bombastic thrill ride most listeners would find pleasingly recognizable.With the recent release of their new single ‘Auntie Anxiety' as a precursor to their second album entitled ‘Generation Doom', Suicide Star will continue to bring their hard-hitting sound to stages throughout Ontario and beyond.

In an era that boasts the most human connectiveness in the history of the world, we struggle with isolation and depression in epidemic proportions. Evidently not all human connections are equal. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Katie Miller and Isaac Funk take on this crisis for connection directly. Not only do they identify the problem but also provide a vision for hope.   Show notes:  What do we mean by human connection?  Human connection at a minimum is intersecting with another human being in physical or thought space.  Human connection at a maximum is deeply knowing and being known by another.   What is at stake with poor human connection?  Isolation, depression and insecurity are some of the fees we pay for poor human connection.  Often poor connection with people translates to a poor connection with God.  What are the elements of healthy human connection?  Healthy human connection requires time and space with people. It requires giving of oneself. The setting requires dynamic communication back and forth in real time.  What are the elements that we are competing against for healthy human connection?  Technology often promotes a shallow connectivity rather than deep community. It is engineered for the transfer of data rather than facilitating robust human fellowship. It is primarily designed for ease, speed and enjoyment, all three of which are not realistic expectations for deep human connection.  Our western culture of individualism promotes self-reliance, putting people head-to-head in competition rather than shoulder-to-shoulder in shared need.  The economics of money and promotion tend to assert themselves in our decision making over and above community and the need for human connection.  What vision of hope does healthy human connection have?  As humans created in God's image, we are designed for embodied human relationships. Relationships that linger in time and space, suffering long with others. Overcoming isolation and shame with reception.   Connection with others plays on the basic elements of life: living together, eating together, sharing needs, living together with a family or living together as a church family.  When we live well together with people, we are at an advantage to live well together with God. 

Amid growing international outrage over an unfolding famine in Gaza, lack of aid supplies and the high death toll in the ongoing war, Israel is increasingly isolated on the world stage. Last week, several of Israel's major Western allies - the UK, France and Canada - set out a timetable for recognising a Palestinian state. In the following days, an apparently emboldened Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad both released fresh videos of hostages they kidnapped on October 7th, showing the two men in shocking conditions. Venetia speaks to Gili Roman, brother of a released hostage and brother-in-law of a murdered hostage, about the pain of the videos and the mood on the ground in Israel amid fresh anti-government protests. Plus, The Telegraph's chief foreign affairs commentator David Blair looks at whether recognising a Palestinian state is the right move and what other options were available to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode, Luis speaks with Will Harris, a farmer, cattleman, and owner of White Oak Pastures. Will shares his personal story of how he inherited his family farm, and how he transitioned the farm from an industrial model to a regenerative one.When taking an industrial approach to farming, Will had caused desertification on parts of his land from the use of chemicals and monocultural farming. His cattle were taking hormones and pharmaceuticals to make them produce more. Over time, he began to see that the focus of industrial farming is all about killing things, like pests and weeds. Knowing that every organism has a role in it's ecosystem, he decided to begin to make the transition to a more sustainable and Earth-focused approach. You can learn more about White Oak Pastures here: https://whiteoakpastures.com/Register here for the upcoming August 9th webinar, "Supporting Boys Through Puberty: Navigating P*rnography, Hormones & Isolation".

Trevor is back for a second podcast episode with Luis to discuss parenting in the age of social media and screen prevalence.  The hard first question is, what social media and screen patterns do the parents model?  Do parents use their own free time to disassociate and isolate with the screen? Do parents use the screen as a babysitter for their child/ren, so that they have time to resource themselves? When parents live an authentic, meaningful and satisfied life, they can connect to their child with playfulness and curiosity. Trevor explains how to help break a child's screen pattern through what he calls wedging change. He gives several free, easy, and accessible ways to connect with children, and it's not through talking. Remember, perfection is not the goal, connection is. You do not need to figure out how to do this in isolation!Rooted Futures information:Website: https://rootedfutures.org/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/rootedfuturesmentoring?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Register here for the upcoming August 9th webinar, "Supporting Boys Through Puberty: Navigating P*rnography, Hormones & Isolation".

The Federal Reserve offered no surprises on rates. Fed Chair Powell tried to present the two dissenting views as being rationally based, but investors are bound to suspect that the rationale amounted to little more than an excited jumping up and down and shouting “pick me, pick me” in the general direction of the White House. The press conference gave a slightly hawkish tone in anticipating the trade tax inflation yet to come.

“‘Let me know if you need anything' is one of the most useless things you can say.” –Paula Harris Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with financial advisor and author Paula Harris, who shares practical insights on how to support someone grieving the loss of a spouse. Drawing on years of experience working with widowed clients and her own faith-rooted perspective, Paula shares thoughtful, actionable ways to be present during what can be one of life's most isolating seasons. Drawing from her publications Rise Up: A Widow's Journal and A Grief Journal, Paula offers a unique blend of guided writing, storytelling, and actionable tools to help people process grief on their own timeline. She urges those within a widow or widower's circle to move beyond clichés like “let me know if you need anything.” Instead, she offers specific, compassionate actions—from hanging Christmas lights to making a weekly check-in call. Paula also explains the dangers of isolation, the risks of financial exploitation, and how a personal touch in your condolences can go a long way. She reminds us, above all, that grief manifests differently for each and every person. And so, dealing with it requires a great deal of tact and empathy. “Show up,” she says. “Be Present.” Ask gentle questions. And never underestimate the healing power of presence, story, and a handwritten note.   Key Topics ·      Why Casseroles and Flowers Aren't Enough (05:15) ·      Better Ways to Show Up for a Grieving Friend (06:59) ·      How Grief Evolves Over Time (20:38) ·      “Don't Be a Purse”: Financial Boundaries for Widows (21:38) ·      The Power of Handwritten Notes and Storytelling (28:42) ·      How Advisors Can Ethically Support the Bereaved (35:27) ·      Stephanie and Kevin's Wrap Up (39:25)   Resources: ·      WHCornerstone.com ·      Paula Harris' Ted Talk ·      Wisdom Wednesday with Paula Harris (YouTube Channel)   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

Edition No206 | 30-07-2025 - This is Silicon Bites first travel review episode. Well not really, it's about the dwindling number of places available to Russians for mass tourism, as they are excluded from many countries, and the declining value of the rouble makes more destinations financially unattainable. The question Russians are now asking themselves in greater numbers is where should we holiday this year? Occupied Ukraine, a War Zone, of North Korea, the Hermit Kingdom. We also should ask, should Russians even be getting visa to holiday in Europe, in the context of the full-scale genocidal war it has launched against Ukraine, and hybrid attacks on Europe? ----------Today: holidays reshaped by occupation, isolation, and sanctions—where Russian tourism also serves as a chilling propaganda tool. We're diving into four related stories:1. Beaches in occupied Ukrainian territories turned into Russian holiday zones.2. The emergence of Russian tourism in North Korea via new direct flights.3. Russia intensifying travel to places like Afghanistan and Iran.4. The controversies over Russian tourists seeking European visas.It's not all sun, sand and fun. These holidays contain some anxiety, trauma and are based on a complete moral bankruptcy not only of the Russian government, but also its people. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------DESCRIPTION:Russian Tourism's Dark Side: Occupation, Isolation, and Moral BankruptcyIn this first travel review episode of Silicon Bites, we explore the limited holiday options available to Russian tourists amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine and international sanctions. The episode is broken into four segments: Russian holidays in occupied Ukrainian territories, new direct flights to North Korea, unusual destinations like Afghanistan and Iran, and the controversy over Russian tourists seeking European visas. We discuss the moral implications of these travels and how Russian tourism is being used as a geopolitical tool to normalize occupation and build alliances with rogue states.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Channel Support00:45 The Dilemma of Russian Tourism02:10 Russian Holidays in Occupied Ukraine05:16 North Korea: The New Russian Tourist Destination07:09 Exploring Unusual Destinations: Afghanistan and Iran08:34 The Controversy Over Russian Visas in Europe09:46 Conclusion and Moral Reflections----------SOURCES: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/07/25/sun-sea-and-the-russian-flag-inside-vacation-season-on-the-beaches-of-occupied-ukraine-a89973 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/28/moscow-pyongyang-direct-flights-russia-to-north-korea-tourists https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-tourists-get-a-nightmare-new-vacation-destination-as-flight-choices-dwindle/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyrk588dlro https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2025/0619/russia-tourism-vacation-iran-korea-afghanistan ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Summer isolation for our kids with disabilities.. It's not fun to talk about.. which means we probably should. Lets unpack it:Why is no one reaching out to our children to hang out over the summer?What happens when full inclusion during the school year still doesn't foster meaningful friendships for your child?What do we do with these feelings of loneliness?

In this episode of the Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with author and mindfulness coach April Dávila to explore the profound connection between creativity and conscious living. April shares how her writing journey transformed when she began meditating regularly in 2016 - leading to the publication of her award-winning novel, the growth of her blog, and a newfound sense of purpose.We discuss how mindfulness can ease the emotional rollercoaster of the writing process, why fiction still matters in a noisy world, and how writers can face rejection and inner criticism with greater self-compassion. April also opens up about her two-year training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, the upcoming release of her nonfiction book Scribbling Buddha, and how meditation can help anyone—not just writers—live more intuitively and authentically.April's journey is an inspiring reminder that turning inward and getting honest with ourselves can unlock creative flow and a more fulfilling life. Whether you're a writer or someone navigating your own personal transformation, this conversation offers practical insight and soulful encouragement to support your path.TakeawaysMeditation can significantly enhance a writer's perspective and practice.Rejection in writing is not personal; persistence is key.Mindfulness helps in managing the inner critic and perfectionism.Creating a supportive writing community can alleviate self-doubt.Fiction plays a crucial role in building empathy and understanding.Establishing a writing ritual can enhance focus and creativity.The publishing landscape is evolving, and writers should explore various options.Self-publishing can be challenging for fiction, but traditional publishing offers valuable support.Mindfulness practices can help writers navigate burnout and creative blocks.Living with an awakened heart means prioritizing meaningful connections. Sound Bites"It's about where your focus is.""Isolation just breeds self-doubt.""Rejection is not personal."Connect with April:WebsiteInstagramLinkedin Insight TimerScribbing Buddha (coming soon)Let's Connect!⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Rumble⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Linktree⁠Keywordsmindfulness, writing, meditation, creativity, community, publishing, inner critic, fiction, personal growth, self-discovery

Brian #1: Open Source Security work isn't “Special” Seth Larson It seems like security is special in a sense that we don't want just anyone working on the security aspect of a project. We just want the trusted maintainers, right? Seth is arguing that this is the wrong mindset It makes more sense that we maybe have security experts contribute to many projects, and that someone working on security for just one project doesn't benefit from scale. “Maintainers don't see how other projects are triaging vulnerabilities and can't learn from each other. They can't compare notes on what they are seeing and whether they are doing the right thing. Isolation in security work breeds a culture of fear. Fear of doing the wrong thing and making your users unsafe.” “These “security contributors” could be maintainers or contributors of other open source projects that know about security, they could be foundations offering up resources to their ecosystem, or engineers at companies helping their dependency graph.” But how do we build trust in these individuals? Meeting in person works. But there are other ways as well. I'd personally love to have someone contact me about a project of mine regarding a security problem or process that the project could/should follow. Especially if I could see other projects I trust already trusting this individual to work on the other projects.

Last week, we conducted a Great Search for a clear shaft linear potentiometer. This week, the prototypes arrived—and they work great! We're also beginning work on the FruitJam Tester. We'll be showing the finalized silkscreen, the cover plate we designed, and the expected form factor of the tester itself. Additionally, we wrapped up a library for a QMC5883 breakout. This chip serves as a drop-in replacement for the now-discontinued HMC5883. It's frequently found in quadcopter builds, so we thought it would be a great candidate for a simple magnetometer breakout.

Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar dive deep into the heart of what the church is meant to be—a community of believers called to love one another. In our modern age, this calling is often lost, with church being reduced to a building or a weekly event rather than a gospel-centered community. The guys highlight the loneliness epidemic plaguing our culture, noting that no other community can fill the void we feel except the one we were created for: God's family. From Genesis 2:18 to the Trinity itself, we see that we were made for relationship. Yet even among churchgoers, loneliness persists. The early church, as seen in Acts, lived out their faith daily in fellowship, service, and mutual support—something far deeper than simply attending on Sundays.Humility and authenticity are crucial to a healthy biblical community. Church isn't a performance but a place to be known and loved. Biblical accountability plays a key role—it means helping each other grow into Christlikeness, not with judgment but with grace. True accountability is self-initiated and rooted in love. Ray emphasizes the importance of vision and evangelism in unifying the church, sharing how physically building a church brought people together and how spiritually building the body of Christ does the same.The guys talk about how discipleship is more than reading a book—it's inviting people into your life. Jesus called us to make disciples, not converts. Isolation is dangerous; the enemy targets those who are alone. Your spiritual health is directly tied to your spiritual circle. Believers should be both discipled and discipling. They challenge the older generation to stop criticizing younger ones and instead invest in them. Real discipleship is relational and transformational—it takes time and presence.They also touch on church discipline, noting it should be redemptive, not punitive. Accountability and restoration are key to a strong gospel community. Forgiveness is another hallmark—when we are hurt by the church, we are still called to extend grace and seek reconciliation. The gospel binds together people who might otherwise be enemies, creating a radically diverse and unified body. The apostles urged unity because the church is made up of natural enemies who now love each other because of Christ. There's no such thing as a healthy, isolated Christian. Assembling together stirs up love and good works. Whether it's opening your home or speaking truth into someone's life, the call remains: step into the biblical community and live out the gospel together.Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this episode, Luis continues the short series on male puberty by exploring parallel co-regulation, which is similar to parallel play -- meaning they're playing near or next to each other -- and how important it is for teenage boys. During puberty, many boys lose access to their feelings while stuck in a body overwhelmed by testosterone and transformation at every level. An increase in sensation added to a decrease in capacity for sensation leads to inevitable shut down and isolation.Luis dives into how parents and caregivers can interrupt this isolation through inviting parallel co-regulation in simple ways: Your teen does the dishes while you make dinner. Bring them to the store to help grocery shop. Read separate books together in the living room. What other ways can you think of to bring "parallel play"/parallel co-regulation into your home? Register here for the upcoming August 9th webinar, "Supporting Boys Through Puberty: Navigating P*rnography, Hormones & Isolation".

In this episode, Luis dives into the developmental trauma of boys -- a continuation of Episode 279: This Is Why I Think P*rnography Is Traumatizing For Developing Boys -- and how they are generally unsupported through puberty.There's a lot of discourse around "toxic males" and problematic men in our society, but not a lot of somatic discussion around how to support young boys in a new way so they can walk a different path: a more embodied one. Luis encourages community building for parents, which is something that's been lost from parenting in isolation, and offers ideas for meeting young male aggression in a way that works for them.  Register here for the upcoming August 9th webinar, "Supporting Boys Through Puberty: Navigating P*rnography, Hormones & Isolation".
