On March 25, 2004, a 21-year-old mother and her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter vanish without a trace from rural Robertson County, Tennessee. Their family is devastated…and immediately suspicious. In the months leading up to their disappearance, Jennifer Wix had become increasingly isolated, with no car, no job, and no way out. Her relationship with her boyfriend and his parents was volatile, and her final phone calls made one thing clear: she was scared, and she was trying to leave with her daughter Adrianna. In episode 362, Jac and Alexis trace the emotional and increasingly dangerous path that led to Jennifer and Adrianna's disappearance and the moment her family knew something was terribly wrong.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joined us to review the new expanded Mineral Resource Estimate, development work building towards the Definitive Feasibility Study, and the ongoing 20,000 meter Phase 5 drill program at their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.    The updated MRE now totals 104 million tonnes ("Mt") of ore, containing approximately 199 million ounces ("Moz") of silver and 1.72 Moz of gold (350 Moz silver-equivalent "AgEq") in the Measured & Indicated ("M&I") category. This total includes a maiden heap leach Mineral Resource estimate and reflects significant increases across five deposits (Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra) located at Diablillos.   Key Highlights of the Updated MRE (Combined Tank and Heap Leach):   Total M&I Mineral Resources (tank and heap leach) now stand at 104 Mt grading 59 g/t Ag and 0.51 g/t Au, containing 199 Moz Ag and 1.72 Moz Au (350 Moz AgEq). Tank leach Mineral Resource estimate totals 73 Mt grading 79 g/t Ag and 0.66 g/t Au, containing 186 Moz Ag and 1.55 Moz Au (327 Moz AgEq). Maiden heap leach MRE adds 31 Mt grading 13 g/t Ag and 0.16 g/t Au, containing 13 Moz Ag and 162 koz Au (23 Moz AgEq). Based on lower-grade material contained with the constraining Whittle open pit, previously classified as waste, now recognized as potentially recoverable though a low-cost processing route.   Key Changes Compared to Prior MRE (Tank Leach Only):   25% increase in contained silver in M&I Mineral Resources to 186 Moz Ag from 148 Moz Ag. 14% increase in contained gold in M&I Mineral Resources to 1.55 Moz Au from 1.36Moz Au. 27% increase in M&I silver-equivalent ounces to 327 Moz AgEq from 258 Moz AgEq.   With three drill rigs now active across the broader Diablillos land package, and the potential to add a fourth rig in the future, the Company is entering another exciting new phase of exploration growth. In addition, the Company is doing all the derisking work programs in parallel with exploration for their ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study due out in early 2026, which will be followed by a PEA on the heap-leach economics, and another updated to the mineral resource once all the Phase V data is incorporated into that study.   If you have any follow up questions for John regarding at AbraSilver, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of AbraSilver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit the AbraSilver website and read over the most recent news releases.

O encontro de Jacó com a GRAÇA - Pr. Glauter Ataide

Nesta mensagem, o Pr. Glauter Ataide, com o texto em Gênesis, capítulo 32, versículos 22 ao 30, nos traz uma reflexão sobre um encontro com a graça de Deus.Na calada da noite, sozinho e temeroso diante de seu passado e do reencontro iminente com seu irmão Esaú, Jacó se vê diante de um momento decisivo em sua vida. Não era apenas um reencontro familiar: era um acerto de contas com quem ele foi, com as mentiras, trapaças e o peso de uma vida construída à base da astúcia. E é nesse momento que ele tem um encontro surpreendente: com o próprio Deus.O texto acima nos diz que Jacó lutou com um homem até o romper do dia. Aquela luta, porém, não era apenas física — era espiritual, emocional, profunda. Era a luta de um homem que estava cansado de viver na força do próprio braço e que, finalmente, reconhece sua necessidade de Deus. Jacó já havia lutado com Esaú, com Labão, com circunstâncias e até com sua própria consciência, mas agora estava lutando com Aquele que poderia transformá-lo de fato.E é nesse contexto que entra a graça. Mesmo ferido, mesmo falho, Jacó não é destruído. Pelo contrário, é abençoado. Aquele que enganou para obter uma bênção agora é abençoado diretamente por Deus. Aquele que sempre fugiu de confrontos agora é confrontado por Deus e não escapa. Em vez disso, se agarra, clama e diz: "Não te deixarei ir, se não me abençoares." (v. 26)A resposta divina vem acompanhada de mudança: “Teu nome não será mais Jacó, mas Israel.” (v. 28) O nome “Jacó” carregava o significado de enganador, usurpador. “Israel”, porém, significa “aquele que luta com Deus e prevalece”. Esse novo nome marca uma nova identidade — não mais alguém que precisa conquistar com astúcia, mas alguém que depende da graça.Lições do encontro de Jacó com a graça:A graça nos encontra no vale da solidão e da crise.Jacó estava sozinho, num lugar escuro, angustiado. Às vezes, é nesse vale que Deus vem ao nosso encontro.A graça confronta quem somos para revelar quem Deus quer que sejamos.A luta não foi para punir Jacó, mas para transformá-lo. Deus o feriu no quadril, mas curou sua identidade.A graça não ignora nosso passado, mas oferece um novo futuro.Jacó não apagou sua história, mas a partir dali começou uma nova jornada como Israel, o homem tocado pela graça.A graça de Deus nos marca.Jacó saiu mancando, mas com uma bênção. Toda experiência com a graça nos deixa marcas: da dependência, da rendição, da transformação.Conclusão: O encontro de Jacó com a graça nos mostra que Deus não desiste de nós, mesmo quando somos imperfeitos e contraditórios. Ele vem ao nosso encontro, nos transforma e nos dá um novo nome, uma nova história. A graça não é apenas perdão — é também poder para viver de forma diferente.Se você está lutando, fugindo ou temendo o que vem pela frente, lembre-se: Deus quer encontrar você no meio da noite, transformar sua identidade e marcar sua vida com a graça que restaura tudo.Se esta mensagem edificou a sua vida, curta e compartilhe com mais pessoas.Deus te abençoe!

In this episode, I talk with author Jac Filer about the writing of his newly-released memoir, The Widower and the Washer. Listen in as we talk about how this memoir came about and how Jac decided on the reader and central message for the book. We also talk about some of the challenges in writing a memoir, the importance of both a writing community and a spiritual community, and knowing when it's OK to go against the grain of typical writing advice.Jac took up writing as a second career in 2020. He built his skills through freelance work, mostly writing devotionals and articles for Christian websites and media, using skills and knowledge he had gained from serving as a small group leader and lay preacher. Since then, he's centered his writing on his own projects, which include an Advent devotional, a novel, and a newly-released memoir.Places to find Jac:* Website* Instagram* FacebookDisclaimer: I believe in and approach life (and writing) from a distinctly evangelical Christian perspective, but some of my guests may not.

On June 6, 1986, a single mom of three awakes to find her 4-year-old daughter has been abducted from her bed near Lexington, South Carolina. The family is desperate to find her. The girl's sister tells law enforcement she saw a man in a ‘magic hat' carry her sister out the window. However, there is no sign of the youngster. The days, weeks, months, and years pass without answers as the missing girl's mother battles racism, corruption, and a bungled police investigation that ignores key evidence. Finally, decades after the abduction, and with the involvement of a private investigator, an arrest is made. The young girl's family is entirely unsurprised at the perpetrator's identity - it was someone they suspected all along. In episode 360, Jac and Alexis detail the heartbreaking abduction and murder of Jessica Gutierrez at the hands of Thomas Eric McDowell, and the importance of law enforcement listening to families, instead of stonewalling them.

A soberania de Deus não é uma ideia fria e teórica — é uma verdade viva, poderosa e, às vezes, desconcertante. Em Romanos 9:6–13, Paulo mergulha no coração da eleição divina e responde à inquietante pergunta: “Será que a Palavra de Deus falhou?” A resposta? Nunca. Neste episódio, você vai explorar duas histórias que comprovam a soberania de Deus: a concepção sobrenatural de Isaque e a escolha soberana de Jacó — ambos eventos marcados por graça, não mérito. Deus não age segundo as expectativas humanas. Ele escolhe, chama, conduz e cumpre Seus propósitos com perfeição. E sim — até mesmo na sala de parto, Deus está no trono.

After obtaining independent manufacturing qualification in December 2023, NIO no longer needs JAC to produce their vehicles. This isn't a breakup, it's a graduation story.In this episode, I break down exactly what NIO's independence means for their future, why their F3 factory launching in September 2025 is a game-changer, and how this positions them perfectly for the next phase of China's EV competition.But that's not all - while NIO was achieving independence, Tesla tried to END the price war by raising Model 3 prices by 10,000 yuan.

Celaena Sardothien navigates haunted hallways, political games, and romantic tension, but beneath it all lies a deeper struggle between fate, freedom, and identity.

As always, we apply two academic literary lenses to guide our analysis: – Jac uses a feminist lens to explore power, perception, and performance – Amy uses a Marxist lens to analyze rebellion, control, and structural pressure Spoilers ahead for Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and Heir of Fire.

On February 25, 1999, a 24-year-old environmental and Indigenous rights activist and two Native American advocates disappear from Arauca, Colombia, after meeting with local U'Wa people. The U'Wa's lives and lands are under direct threat from multinational oil extraction, and the activists are there to help facilitate protection of the tribes' indigenous sovereignty and environment. A week later, their bodies are found near a river, shot to death. And so the long and complicated battle begins for their loved ones to find answers and have the killers held accountable in the midst of political instability and armed conflict. In episode 357, Jac and Alexis detail the heartbreaking case of Terence Freitas, Ingrid Washinawatok, and Lahe'ena'e Gay, and Indigenous communities' fight against the complex and nuanced geopolitical backdrop of the threat of extractive industries on both fragile ecosystems and their custodians' very way of life.

Through our signature academic literary analysis (backed by our 13 years of combined literary training), we explore themes of misinformation, identity, shifting power dynamics, and imaginary lines between people, personas, and political loyalties.
