Hai Wonder Kids,kembali dalam renungan anak GKY Mangga besar.  Selama bulanJuli ini tema besar dari Firman Tuhan yang akan kita renungkan diambil dari  Matius 14: 27 Tetapi segeraYesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tenanglah! Aku ini, jangan takut!"  Jadi WonderKids, judul renungan hari ini adalah PEKERJAAN ALLAH Mari kitamembaca Firman Tuhan dari AMSAL 20: 22Janganlah engkauberkata: "Aku akan membalas kejahatan," nantikanlah TUHAN, Ia akanmenyelamatkan engkau. Apakah kamupernah merasa kesal atau ingin membalas saat teman atau orang lain membuatmusedih? Kadang kita marah dan ingin membalas, tapi itu bukan tugas kita. Tahukah kamu? TUHANbilang di Ibrani 10: 30, Sebab kita mengenal Dia yang berkata:"Pembalasan adalah hak-Ku. Akulah yang akan menuntut pembalasan." Danlagi: "TUHAN akan menghakimi umat-Nya." Jadi, membalas dendamadalah pekerjaan TUHAN, bukan pekerjaan kita. Wonder Kids.Mengampuni orang lain bukan berarti mereka benar, tapi artinya kita percayabahwa TUHAN setia dan akan selalu melakukan yang benar.  MARI KITABERTUMBUH DI DALAM ANUGERAH TUHANWonder Kids, yuk,coba kegiatan ini! Ambil kertas dantulis semua rasa kesal atau marah yang kamu rasakan. Lalu bungkus sebuah batudengan kertas itu, dan buang batunya ke air. Batu itu tenggelam, kan? Nah,bayangkan rasa marahmu juga tenggelam seperti batu itu. Mari kita berdoaTUHAN, ajari akuuntuk tidak membalas kejahatan dengan kejahatan. Tolong aku untuk percayakepada-Mu dan menunggu pertolongan-Mu. Bimbing aku agar selalu berbuat baik,meskipun ada yang memperlakukanku dengan tidak baik. Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus akuberdoa, Amin. Wonder Kids, JANGANMEMBALAS KEJAHATAN DENGAN KEJAHATAN. PERCAYALAH KEPADA TUHAN UNTUK MENDAPATKANKELEGAAN. Tuhan Yesus memberkati

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 26 Juni 2025Bacaan: "Sesungguhnya, Akulah Tuhan, Allah segala makhluk; adakah sesuatu apapun yang mustahil untuk-Ku?" (Yeremia 32:27)Renungan: Abraham dan Sara sudah terlalu tua untuk dapat mempunyai anak. Namun pada akhirnya keduanya percaya bahwa Allah akan melakukan mujizat dan mereka tetap beriman sekalipun secara manusia kelihatannya tidak mungkin mereka mendapatkan anak. Tetapi mereka tekun menunggu selama 25 tahun. Iman adalah kemampuan untuk berpegang teguh pada anugerah yang cukup untuk semua hal, sehingga apa yang secara manusia mustahil, menjadi mungkin secara ilahi. Mungkin dalam kehidupan kita ada perkara-perkara yang sulit, yang mungkin secara manusia tidak dapat kita lakukan dan tidak dapat kita atasi, tetapi percaya dan yakinlah bahwa di dalam Allah segala sesuatu mungkin terjadi. Allah mampu memulihkan hubungan suami istri yang sudah hancur. Allah sanggup menyembuhkan anak kita yang sudah terjerumus ke dalam dunia narkoba. Allah bisa mengangkat kembali perusahaan kita yang sudah terpuruk. Allah sanggup memperluas pelayanan kita. Allah sanggup memulihkan kehidupan kita yang sudah rusak dan hitam sekalipun. Kuncinya adalah berimanlah seperti Abraham dan Sara. Jangan biarkan kejadian masa lalu menggerogoti iman kita. Jangan biarkan keadaan di sekeliling kita membuat iman kita terbang. Angkatlah wajah kita, pandanglah kebesaran kuasa Allah dan yakinlah bahwa kuasa Allah jauh lebih besar dari semua masalah kita yang terbesar sekalipun. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa: Tuhan Yesus, berikan aku keyakinan akan janji-janji firman-Mu bahwa Engkau sanggup melakukan segala perkara. Jangan biarkan aku memakai perhitungan manusiawiku, tapi ganti pemikiranku itu dengan pemikiran-Mu sendiri, sehingga aku dapat memperoleh jalan keluar untuk setiap masalah dalam hidupku. Amin. (Dod).

NATO-topmødet i dag bliver kort, præcist og uden falbelader - for ikke at genere Trump. Men de 31 europæiske NATO-medlemmer vil gerne vide: Trækker Trump amerikanske styrker ud af Europa? Og Merz og Macron varsler massiv oprustning. NATO's Rutte varsler 3,5 % af BNP til militær og 1,5 % af BNP til militær infrastruktur. Så alle krydser fingre og håber det bedste, netop hvor Trump, trods valgløfter, har kastet USA ind i endnu en krig i Mellemøsten - for så at forhandle en våbenhvile på plads. Hvordan påvirker det alliance og topmøde? Det er Verden ifølge Gram! Deltagere: Lone Dencker Wisborg - Fhv.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 19 Juni 2025Bacaan: "Masakan Aku tidak dapat bertindak kepada kamu seperti tukang periuk ini, hai kaum Israel!, demikianlah firman TUHAN. Sungguh, seperti tanah liat di tangan tukang periuk, demikianlah kamu di tangan-Ku, hai kaum Israel!" (Yeremia 18:6) Renungan: Kisah Tuhan memerintahkan Nabi Yeremia untuk pergi kepada tukang periuk adalah kisah yang kita kenal dengan baik. Kisah ini bermula ketika Nabi Yeremia diutus oleh Tuhan untuk mewartakan hukuman pembuangan bangsa Israel ke Babel. Berita penghukuman yang keras ini sulit dimengerti oleh bangsa Israel, juga oleh Nabi Yeremia sendiri. Untuk memahami maksud di balik berita penghukuman ini, Tuhan menyuruh Nabi Yeremia untuk pergi ke tempat tukang periuk. Di sana, Nabi Yeremia menjumpai tukang periuk yang sedang membentuk bejana dari tanah liat dengan tangannya. Proses pembentukan bejana ini tidak dicatat secara rinci oleh Alkitab, namun saya percaya proses pembentukan bejana tanah liat pada zaman itu tidak berbeda jauh dengan zaman sekarang. Kalau kita perhatikan prosesnya, kita akan melihat bahwa tangan tukang periuk hampir tidak pernah lepas dari tanah liat yang dibentuk. Jari-jari dan telapak tangannya senantiasa memberikan tekanan-tekanan untuk membentuk bejana sesuai yang diinginkannya. Sekali-sekali salah satu tangannya dengan cepat akan mengambil sedikit air untuk membasahi tanah liat agar mudah dibentuk. Namun secara keseluruhan, tangan tukang periuk akan terus membentuk tanah liat hingga menjadi bentuk bejana yang diinginkannya. Tukang periuk yang hampir tidak pernah melepaskan tangannya dari tanah liat yang dibentuk menggambarkan juga tangan Tuhan yang terus-menerus menopang dan menyertai umat-Nya. Walaupun pada saat itu bangsa Israel akan menghadapi pembuangan karena dosa mereka, tetapi Tuhan akan menyertai dan menopang mereka. Dalam keadaan apa pun, bahkan dalam masa pembuangan pun, Tuhan tidak pernah meninggalkan umat-Nya. Dalam kehidupan iman, ketika kita mengalami pergumulan, kesulitan ataupun dukacita, kita merasa Tuhan jauh dan meninggalkan kita. Tentu saja itu hanya perasaan kita yang dapat membohongi kita. Namun faktanya, melalui kisah tukang periuk ini, kita melihat bahwa Tuhan tidak pernah melepaskan atau meninggalkan kita. Tangan-Nya akan selalu menyertai dan menopang kita dalam keadaan apa pun. Oleh karena itu, jangan mempercayai perasaan kita, tetapi percayalah kepada firman-Nya dan kepada Tuhan senantiasa. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa: Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk penyertaan-Mu yang telah menopangku senantiasa, sehingga aku kuat untuk menjalani proses imanku. Amin. (Dod).

   The Royals just lost a homestand.  Every game.  All very similar as the bats are so silent you can hear yourself breath inside Kauffman Stadium.  Is this the end of the 2025 season?  Should the Royals be thinking about trading away players to build a better team down the road?  Well, somehow they are still only 3 games back of a playoff spot so we think they'll be hanging on a few more weeks.  But, man, its ugly.    The US Open Golf Championship at Oakmont in Pennsylvania was a hot mess from start to finish but what a little known journeyman named JJ Spaun did on the 72nd hole is the stuff of legend.    A guest columnist pens a nice piece in support of NKC being the best location for a new Royals Stadium.  KU Athletic Director Travis Goff says KU will spend more of it's salary cap money for Bill Self's basketball team than almost any other school.    Army 250 and No Kings Day made headlines this weekend.  One was a celebration of American Greatness, the other a collection of misfits bitching about Trump being a King.  And No Kings Day was plenty peaceful in KC but deadly in Utah and Minnesota.    Pope Leo appeared on the Jumbotron at White Sox park for a special mass this weekend.  Rand Paul may be on board with the Big Beautiful Bill and Fenway Park workers may go on strike.

In this episode, Jacob Kyle offers a curated selection of teachings from Sādhana School, Embodied Philosophy's year-long curriculum of contemplative study and practice. The episode weaves together reflections on states of consciousness, metaphysics, emotional transformation, and the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing, drawing deeply from Indian philosophical and Tantric traditions.Jacob begins by exploring the concept of Turiya, the “fourth state” of consciousness beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, and its Tantric extension in Turiyatita—a state where meditative awareness permeates ordinary perception. He connects these insights to śānta-rasa, the rasa of peace or equanimity, positioning it as the rasa that can suffuse all other experiences when integrated through practice. The episode offers a critique of materialist metaphysics, highlighting how modern scientism struggles to account for consciousness. Jacob contrasts this with Indian philosophical frameworks—including dualism, monism, and non-dualism—that offer richer ontologies for understanding consciousness and its relation to the world.Finally, the episode delves into spiritual bypassing: the tendency to use spiritual ideals to avoid emotional challenges. Jacob presents rasa theory as an antidote, showing how emotions—whether grief, fear, anger, or joy—are not obstacles but sacred expressions of consciousness. Through aesthetic contemplation (bhāvanā), these emotions can be transmuted into rasa, universalized flavors of awareness that guide the practitioner toward deeper Self-realization and the peace of śānta-rasa.

Pēc tam, kad Rēzeknē vēlētāju uzticību guva tie paši spēki, kas pilsētu noveduši līdz bēdīgam finanšu stāvoklim, sabiedrībā atkal sāk runāt par to, kādēļ bagātajām pašvaldībām jādalās ar naudu, kuru pēc tam kāds var iztērēt bezatbildīgi. Vai jāmaina pašvaldību finanšu izlīdzināšanas sistēma? Krustpunktā diskutē Saeimas Budžeta un finanšu (nodokļu) komisijas deputāti Raimonds Čudars (Jaunā Vienotība), Harijs Rokpelnis (Zaļo un zemnieku savienība), Māris Kučinskis (Apvienotais saraksts), Kristaps Krištopans (Latvija pirmajā vietā) un Saeimas Ilgtspējīgas attīstības komisijas priekšsēdētājs Uģis Mitrevics (Nacionālā apvienība). Lielās Latgales pilsētas tikko notikušajās pašvaldību vēlēšanās ir pievērsušas sev lielāku uzmanību nekā parasti. Arī Latvijas Radio tikko skanēja reportāža no Daugavpils un Rēzeknes. Bet stāsts nav tikai par pārliecinošo atbalstu valdošajām partijām. Īpaši Rēzekne ir bijusi uzmanības fokusā arī naudas tērēšanas dēļ, tā nonāca maksātnespējas priekšā. Arī Krustpunktā esam daudz stāstījuši par naudas izsaimniekošanu. Visa valsts glāba pilsētu. Protams, glābējiem gribas, lai izglābtie to novērtē, bet rēzeknieši pārliecinoši ir ievēlējuši pilsētas vadībā iepriekšējos izsaimniekotājus, un viņi arī turpinās rīkoties ar naudu, kuru mēs turpināsim viņiem maksāt. Un runa nav tikai par kredītiem vai aizdevumiem, jo ik gadus Rēzekne saņem arī no pašvaldību izlīdzināšanas fonda. Piemēram, tieši tāpēc arī varēja nodrošināt pilsētā bezmaksas transportu, ko naudas devēji nekad paši nav varējuši atļauties, un visādi citādi tērēt naudu, ko nopelna citi.  "Ja rēzeknieši grib sev šādus saimniekus, tā ir viņu izvēle, bet ne par manu naudu!" Tā daudzi šajās dienās ir rakstījuši sociālajos medijos, un tas tiešām rada jautājumus. Pašvaldību izlīdzināšanas fonds - laba lieta, bet vai kaut kas sistēmā nav aizgājis ačgārni?

And as always, the coupon code and the links to the store will be in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through June the 30th, 2025, so if you need a new ebook series to read this summer, we have got you covered.   Now for an update on my current writing projects. As of this recording, I am 53,000 words into Shield of Power, which will be the sixth and final book of my Shield War series, and that puts me on Chapter 13 of 29. I feel like the book is going to be between about 105,000 to 110,000 words in rough draft, but we will see when I get there. I'm hoping to have it out before the end of June, but there's a good chance it may slip to July, so listen to this space and watch my website for updates.   I am also 104,000 words into Stealth and Spells Online: The Final Quest, which as the name implies, will be the third and final book of the Stealth and Spells trilogy. I am right in the middle of writing the climactic scenes of the story and because of the length and how far I've gotten and I've been chipping away at this since October, it will come out very quickly after Shield of Power, possibly even in the same month. I'm also 5,000 words into Ghost in the Siege, which will be the sixth and final book of the Ghost Armor series, and that should probably come out towards the end of summer, if all goes well.   In audiobook news, Brad Wills is recording Shield of Battle and Hollis McCarthy is recording Ghost in the Corruption right now. I know they're hard at work at it because both of them sent me emails with questions about pronunciations today. Hopefully we'll have some exciting new audiobooks for you later this summer.   00:02:12 Main Topic: Ebook Pricing Strategies [Note: All Prices Referenced are USD]   And now let's move right into our main topic, ebook pricing strategies, which is often a contentious topic for indie authors. We're going to go over five different ebook pricing strategies to look at when they're the most effective or why you might want to try them. I'll talk about when I have used each of them and why I chose to do so or not to do so, as the case might be.   As I said, this is often a contentious topic for indie authors, especially newer indie authors who often have in their head an idea that their book is worth X amount of dollars because the amount of work they put into it, like for example, “my novel should be a minimum of $9.99 or $14.99 because of all the work I put into it. It was a year's worth of work, and if you can buy a fancy latte at Starbucks or $6 or $7 or whatever, then you should be able to pay $9.99 for this novel upon which I toiled for a year.”   And that is a nice sentiment, but in reality it doesn't work that way for a couple of reasons. For one thing, people are only willing to drop that kind of money on authors that they've known for a long time, like hardcore Stephen King or James Patterson or Jack Reacher fans dropping $20 or $30 for the novel in hardcover when comes out the first time. That kind of loyalty has to be earned over the long term, and if you're brand a new indie author or a newish indie author, charging $9.99 for your ebook is something of an ask.   For the second thing, an ebook is not a physical object, and there is a point where people blanch at paying a lot of money for an item that is essentially electronic and digital. If you're paying $9.99 for a paperback, at least you're getting the paperback, the physical object. Paying $9.99 for something utterly intangible like an ebook is a much harder sell. Because of that, the optimal price point for ebooks tends to be a bit lower than that.   For the sake of not adding too many caveats to each point based on genre and format, let's assume for each of these strategies, the ebook we are pricing is a fantasy novel of about 90,000 words without any maps or images and is not being traditionally published by an established author. In an interview, Smashwords founder Mark Coker presented data from Smashwords that showed most indie authors selling full length fiction will see the most success setting their ebook prices at either $2.99, $3.99, or $4.99 (depending on genre). That is still the case, generally speaking. However, there are some special pricing strategies that may increase your sales, and that is what we'll be focusing on this episode. #1: The first of the five pricing strategies we will look at is permafree, and permafree means that the book is permanently set to free instead of just for a short period of time. Why does this work? People like free things. People will eagerly take something that's free while something that's even $2 or $3 will lead to hesitation on their part, especially for an unfamiliar author, and that is true of $0.99 as well.   However, permafree is a strategy only makes financial sense if the book is the first book in a series and there are at least a few books in the series already published. If you have one book and make it permafree, that's fine if you want to give away the book to readers so it's read, but it will not make you any money. It makes more sense to make the first book in a series free when there are like four or five or more books in the series. Just setting a book to permafree is not enough on its own. You still need to spend money on ads and marketing, so you're relying on sales from the next several books in the series to subsidize the free book and marketing cost. Very often I will advertise the free first book in one of my series and then calculate whether the ad was successful or not based on how many copies of the rest of the books in the series that I have actually sold.   There also needs to be a strong hook at the end of the first book to lure readers on to the second book to inspire readers to continue, but not an outright cliffhanger, which will annoy most readers and could hurt your reviews. If you're going to make your first book in the series free, it is a generally bad idea to end that book with a cliffhanger or to end that book with an unresolved main plot. People will get mad at you and accuse you of trying to nickel and dime them on the rest of the series.   It's also a good idea to put the link to the second book right at the end of the first book in order to help the reader continue on in the series. You also need to accept that most of the attention for permafree titles often comes from so-called book hoarders. This strategy is not a great one for trying to get reviews as there is a significant segment of readers who blindly grab whatever is free and then they never get around to reading it, much less finishing it.   In the same vein, you have to accept that the percentage of readers converting from the free ebook to the rest of the paid series will be much lower than the conversion from a paid book to the next paid book in the series normally would be. What kind of conversion rate am I talking about? If you have say, a conversion rate from the free first book to the paid second book of 5-10%, you are doing very well.   How have I used the strategy? I've made almost all of my series starters permafree, and since I write fairly long series, it's easier for me to do that than for people with a series with only two or three books. Making books permafree has been a major part of my indie publishing efforts over the last 14 years, and I found it's pretty much the most consistent low effort thing I can do to drive sales. It's like a constant trickle, though it does work better on the non-Amazon stores than it does with Amazon today.   #2: So now we will move on to our second pricing strategy, which is the $0.99 price. Some authors will temporarily set the $0.99 price at launch in order to gain some reviews and then raise the price once that has happened. Others will price the first book in the series at $0.99 and then price the subsequent books in the series higher, in a similar strategy to permafree. This strategy gets a higher percentage of the people reading the book than permafree and authors have reported a higher percentage of read through continuing to the next book as well.   This price does well with BookBub deals and could be used temporarily for that. BookBub customers are extremely price sensitive and they expect steep discounts. The biggest downside of the strategy is that on sites like Amazon, you'll be paid a lower royalty rate of 35%, so any ads or marketing costs will effectively eat most of your profits. However, if your book is wide in all the stores, many of them offer better royalty rates than Amazon for books at $0.99. For myself, what I've done for long series is that I make the first book free and then the second book $0.99, and then all the books after there are full price. Obviously, you take a bit of a hit on the first few books in the series, but if you have a long series like I do, then you can definitely make up the lost costs with sales of the rest of the books. I've also used $0.99 to pretty good results with BookBub deals over the years.   #3: The third pricing strategy we're going to look at is the box set. This strategy applies to a series since you're packaging multiple full length novels together and sometimes throwing in a short story or other special content. The important thing about pricing box sets is that it should be a substantial discount over buying the full length books in the sets separately. The price will be a bigger hook than adding special features. You might want to make the first box set less expensive than the subsequent ones in order to motivate readers to begin the series. This strategy is great for Kindle Unlimited (KU) since readers are getting multiple books but only have to take one of their allocated book spots in the KU Library. Longer books also lead to bigger payouts, since KU operates on pages per read system, which means that the longer the book is (and assuming someone actually reads it), you'll then get a bigger payout. This also applies somewhat in a more limited way for Kobo Plus, in the way that it calculates page reads. They use minutes read instead of page reads.   How have I used this? I have many box sets, and because of the limitations of Amazon pricing, most of my box sets aren't above $9.99, but if the three novels in the box set are individually $4.99, that is a savings of 33% as opposed to buying the books individually. So I mostly did the box sets to provide a base for doing the box sets in audio, but they do also generate some income on their own because of the savings.   #4: The fourth pricing strategy we're going to look at is coupons. The most common way to provide coupons in Indie Author World is either through Smashwords or a direct sales page, such as My Payhip store, which I mention frequently on this podcast. Coupons are a convenient way to make a book free to only a select group of people, such as newsletter subscribers or contest winners. It is by far the easiest and most flexible way to discount your books temporarily. For example, on Payhip, it only takes a couple minutes to set up a coupon and then it will be ready to use instantly or for whatever specific dates and times you have set the coupon to run. They are the most effective when they are short term to create a sense of urgency to buy the book, but not so short term that readers miss out on the deal. The biggest downside is that most buyers are not as familiar with using Smashwords or a direct sales page, so they may be hesitant to use a new site, especially if they have a large ebook collection on another platform like Kindle.   How have I used this strategy? For years, I've used the Smashwords coupon strategy to give away a free short story when I publish a book (with Ghost in the Corruption, it was Ghost Spells, and when I finish Shield of Power, the short story for that will be called Consort of Darkness and newsletter subscribers will get a Smashwords coupon code they can use to get a free ebook copy of the short story). I also frequently do Coupon of the Week through my Payhip store, where I offer 25% off a featured ebook or series or 50% off an audiobook. Since the royalty rate on Payhip is higher than on Amazon or Audible, I'm able to offer generous sales prices without losing money on a discounted sale. So once you have a large enough catalog, coupons through direct sales can be an effective strategy.   #5: And the fifth and final sales strategy we'll look at this episode is Kindle Countdown Deals. If your book is in Kindle Select/Kindle Unlimited, Kindle allows you to run a limited time discount on it. Readers will see a countdown clock showing how long they have to buy it at the price. To be eligible to run a Countdown Deal, your book must have been enrolled in KDP Select for at least 30 days, and your book's list price must have been unchanged for 30 days before and 14 days after the deal runs. There are some other requirements, so read Amazon's documentation page very carefully before you decide to run a Countdown Deal. The biggest advantage of a Countdown Deal is the royalty rate for the book during the deal will be based on the book's regular price and not what it's discounted to during the sale, so this is a nice way to try a lower price for your book. For example, if the book is usually $4.99 and during the Countdown Deal it is lowered to $0.99, you'll still get 70% of the sale rate. Now granted, 70% of $0.99 is not as good as 70% of $4.99, but you may be able to make it up in sales volume. This strategy gets a lot more viewers than a coupon with Smashwords or your direct sales page would. However, it's not nearly as flexible as those options. It requires some advanced planning. This method is most effective when paired with a marketing push, such as an increase in ad spending or a newsletter notifying your newsletter subscribers about the deal. The biggest downside of this strategy is that you have to be exclusive with Amazon in order to take advantage of the deal. If your books are wide, you can't do a Kindle Countdown Deal for them. I've used this strategy intermittently with limited success, I have to admit, because generally I don't have that many books in KU at any given time. That said, when I have had books in KU, I've tried Kindle Countdown deals and had moderate success with them. Overall, I do think the other methods I've already mentioned on this episode are more effective, but if you have books in KU, it is definitely worth trying a Kindle Countdown Deal in combination with some ads and a newsletter push.   So hopefully these five pricing strategies will help you make sense of the pricing of books in Indie Author World and will be helpful to you as you decide how to price your own books.   So that is it for this week.

   All the excitement around Jac Caglianone being called up by the Royals was expected... all the controversy was not.  Here's why those saying the Royals are crazy to do this right now are just flat wrong.    The KC Star is making up bizarre reasons why Missouri will not get stadium support funding done in the special session.  How bizarre?  Would you believe they are blaming Pride Month?    KJ Adams is out of hoops for at least a year with an achilles injury and had said goodbye to KU.  Now he's back as Bill Self has offered him an incredible opportunity to rehab with KU's team of providers while working on the basketball "staff."    Trump polls are climbing even higher and some liberal pollsters are started to put together pieces about what makes conservatives tick.    The illegal alien terrorist that set fire to Jews in Colorado has ties to USAID.  And one of the escaped prisoners in New Orleans posts a video asking Donald Trump for help and suggests he will turn himself in.    Our Final Final is about Bills quarterback Josh Allen's celebrity wedding and a guest that has everyone scratching their head.  

As I get set to head for the hills, literally, David Lesky from "Inside the Crown" chats Royals, Cags, and more. Also my weekly baseball roundup, Scheffler's continued dominance, NHL and NBA Finals looming, great KU and KSU baseball seasons end, SKC is warmish, and more. Soak up the info and fun!

Studies of statebuilding and peacebuilding have been criticized for their disregard of people living the consequences of intervention projects. Beyond International Intervention: Politics of Improvement in Serbia (University of Michigan Press, 2025) by Dr. Katarina Kušic takes on the task of engaging with spaces and peoples not usually present in IR scholarship to rethink the very concept of “intervention” by paying close attention to how people actually experience and make sense of those efforts. In particular, the book offers a detailed engagement with ethnographic fieldwork in two policy areas in Serbia—agricultural policy and non-formal youth education. By engaging with subjects, the book not only enhances our understanding of intervention, but also uncovers the limitations of the concept. Dr. Kušić argues that the concept limits what we can observe and theorize, and it prevents researchers from engaging with the people living in spaces of intervention as coeval political subjects. As an alternative, she proposes to foreground improvement over “intervention.” This reorientation enables researchers to trace hierarchies beyond the local/international dichotomy, expands fields of visibility beyond those prescribed by interventions themselves, and seriously considers the contradictions at the heart of liberalism. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
