On today’s episode, I’ll be speaking with Renee Garcia, a Certified Reality Transurfing instructor, and an Alternatives Space adventurer. Having ventured deeply into the metaphysical world of Reality Creation she has transformed personal failure into success, poverty into abundance, sickness into healing, and a bleak worldview into one brimming with joy and magic. Renée has employed RT to discover fulfillment, true purpose in life and connect with the highest version of herself. With a self built practical methodology and magical wand in hand, she is now empowering others around the world to do so the same. Her motto is “knowledge without application is merely entertainment”. With a rapidly growing following of supporting “Transurfers” at her side, Renée brings to light the works of Vadim Zeland at home and worldwide. She has developed the only English language Reality Transurfing instructional program which serves as the backbone for The International Transurfing Institute, which she founded in 2015. You can check out a link on her online courses here: We talk about the following and so much more: ✅Her overall perspective on being able to create our own reality ✅Does everyone have agency over their own life? ✅What is Reality Transurfing (RT)?

Optimal uterine closure remains one of the most studied and controversial aspects of cesarean delivery. Traditionally, a single-layer locking hysterotomy closure has been taught and passes down. Is this evidence based? Is there any advantage to doing a double-layer myometrial closure? We'll get down to the data in this episode.

Welcome to another episode of "Web3 with Sam Kamani." Today is a landmark episode, and the excitement in the air is palpable because I had the absolute honor of interviewing none other than the luminary of the decentralized world, Vitalik Buterin. Having been the brains behind Ethereum, Vitalik isn't just a name. He's a movement. A force that has continuously reshaped how we perceive decentralization. And folks, this interview is possibly one of the most insightful discussions I've had on this platform. Just a few months back, I found myself amidst the buzz of the ETH Global Hackathon. It was a hotbed of ideas, innovations, and inspirations. Among the myriad of game-changing developments there, two things particularly stood out: the intrigue of Zero Knowledge proofs and the seamless fusion of AI into almost every tool I encountered. Today, with Vitalik, we delve deep into the core concerns that he has vocalized time and again: Scalability & Fees: They say, to achieve mass adoption, we need to make it affordable. Transaction fees have been a thorn in the side of many. Ethereum has come a long way, but there's more to conquer. Privacy: In a world that's increasingly digital, how do we ensure that the blockchain doesn't compromise on our right to privacy? Identity: Decentralized identity isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. And we talk about the roadmap towards achieving that. Social Recovery & Multi-Sig: Wallets are our bank in the crypto world. But how do we ensure they're Fort Knox and not sitting ducks? We discuss the potential of social recovery and multi-signature solutions. Ethereum on Layer 2: Scaling is the name of the game, and Layer 2 might just be Ethereum's ace. We explore the nuances. But, one concept that really piqued my interest during the event was Vitalik's perspective on collaboration and standardization in the crypto ecosystem. Standardization often hints at centralization. How then, in this decentralized wonderland, do we strike a balance between the two? That, dear listeners, is the crux of our discussion today. Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research. Finally, I don't run ads on my podcast. It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on ApplePodcasts or share this podcast with a friend.

Today I am speaking with Anton Gaev, Product Manager for L2s and The Graph at P2P. Notably, P2P stands as one of the largest Indexers at The Graph and is well-recognized as a staking service provider and validator within web3. For our long-time listeners, you may recall that I interviewed members of the P2P team back in Episode 10. Since then, P2P has continued to expand and introduce new service offerings to its platform.Anton's depth of knowledge and thoughtfulness regarding web3 and The Graph is evident throughout our conversation. As a highly active participant in the Indexer community, he's a great representative of P2P within The Graph ecosystem. During our discussion, Anton shares his personal journey, a unique one among GRTiQ Podcast guests, with extensive exposure to crypto during his university years. He details his path to crypto, his transition into web3, joining P2P, and offers great insights into the future of Layer 2 solutions. Anton also provides an overview of his experiences working within The Graph ecosystem.Show Notes and TranscriptsThe GRTiQ Podcast takes listeners inside web3 and The Graph (GRT) by interviewing members of the ecosystem.  Please help support this project and build the community by subscribing and leaving a review.Twitter: GRT_iQwww.GRTiQ.com

We've had secrets in the suburbs, in Silver Lakes, and in the desert. But we've never had SECRETS IN THE SNOW. When a dancer (pronounced fancy like you're French) goes missing in the freezing cold, her husband smirks his way into the suspect #1 position. Was her marriage a pas de deux with danger? Not so quick (step)! What about the flamenco dancer that had recently waltzed into her heart? And what about the flamenco dancer's wife who is tired of having another woman jete through her marriage? And what about the mysterious local bank robber doing pirouettes around local law enforcement? Thankfully we have a graceful dancer (if leaning is considered a form of dancing), Keith Morrison, to take the lead in this story. And where he leads, we will follow!

WRU 1st Week Of September -----

Today's episode is an important one, because it's going to lay the groundwork for a lot of the things that we're going to be discussing moving forward. In the weeks and months to come, this is an episode that I'll likely be referring back to often. And that's because today we're diving into an article written by two heavyweights of ufology that serves not only as an essential framework to support our understanding of the complexities and nuances of the UFO phenomenon, but that also—in a very real way—helped to lay the foundation for the recent push for UFO disclosure. In short, it's not only important that we take the time to really understand the ideas presented in this article—but to understand where it fits into the history of modern ufology. The paper to which I'm referring is Incommensurability, Orthodoxy, and the Physics of High Strangeness: A 6-Layer Model for Anomalous Phenomena written by Jacques Vallée and Eric Davis. Most people will already be very familiar with those names, but just in case they are new to you, you can find links to their bios and other work in the episode brief. What is so significant about this paper is that it seeks to create a framework by which we can begin to analyze and integrate the parts of UFO encounters that rarely make it into sci-fi media, and even more rarely make it into serious discussions about the phenomenon itself—which is the undeniable and pervasive occurrence of events and effects that are traditionally relegated to the realms of high strangeness and the paranormal. If there's nothing else that you take away from this episode it should be this—encounters with UFOs and non-human intelligence are much, much weirder than you've probably been led to believe.

The recently published Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol establishes key exchange protocols for participants in a simultaneous communication session for three or more participants. We explain its significance and possible futures for this standard.

Just about every game that integrates blockchain technology in some way is either on Ethereum, most likely via a Layer 2 solution such as Polygon or Immutable X, or is building on a more scalable but less decentralized Layer 1 chain such as Solana or Binance Smart Chain. Bitcoin, the granddaddy of blockchains, has not attracted much attention from game developers, and for good reason — on-chain transactions on Bitcoin are very, very slow. This is where the Bitcoin Lightning Network comes in.

What started out as Matic Network, in 2017, and later rebranded to Polygon, in 2021, it is now facing another major milestone: Polygon 2.0. Apart from a tokenomics update, their plans include building an aggregation layer for every scaling solution that will settle on Ethereum. This will not only provide crucial rollup interoperability, but it will also further offload Ethereum by recursively combining multiple proofs into a single one.We were joined by Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, for a fascinating discussion on Polygon's future revamp, their views on infrastructure decentralisation and interoperability.Topics covered in this episode:Sandeep's background and the vision behind MaticPolygon 2.0ZK rollup vs. ValidiumMulti-purpose shardingTokenomicsStaking decentralisationInteroperabilityThe multi-chain future outlookBlockchain adoption and use casesEpisode links:Sandeep Nailwal on TwitterPolygon on TwitterPolygon Labs on TwitterThis episode is hosted by Meher Roy & Felix Lutsch.

Hi Bakers, Like many old recipes, the only way you get to eat Pineapple Upside Down Cake gluten-free is to make it yourself. The good news is, it's easy and tastes every bit as good as you remember but with no wheat! Rich brown sugar and salty butter form a sweet caramel topping that makes the tangy pineapple come alive. Then, all that richness soaks into the vanill /pineapple cake below. It's as irresistible as you remember. Make this cake and get a slice of childhood memories on your plate. Enjoy ~Carolyn Gluten-Free Pineapple Upside Down Cake adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction's recipe Makes 1-10” cast iron skillet or pie pan Topping 1/2  cup butter 1/2 cup light brown sugar 8-10  canned pineapple rings, unsweetened dried cherries Dry Ingredients 1 1/4 cup Cup4Cup Multipurpose Gluten-Free Flour 1/4 blanched almond flour 1 teaspoon sweet rice flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda Wet Ingredients 4 tablespoons butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1/3 cup sour cream or milk 1/4 cup pineapple juice (from canned pineapple slices) 2 tablespoons applesauce, unsweetened 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Sauce/Garnish extra butter and brown sugar topping 2 tablespoon pineapple juice Preheat the oven to 350F and set the rack to the middle position. Layer pineapple slices in the bottom of your baking pan and add cherries into the center spaces. Set this aside to make the cake batter. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl or pan, heat the butter and sugar until the mixture comes together and boils for a minute. Sugar should dissolve a bit and the liquid will be less grainy. Stir thoroughly and pour/spread 1/2 this mixture over pineapple slices in the baking pan. Reserve the other half for garnish. In a large bowl. beat together butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, sour cream, pineapple juice, applesauce and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Spoon the batter over  the pineapple slices in the pan and level the surface. Bake for about 35-45 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking. If the cake is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Let cake cool for 20 minutes and then run a knife around it to loosen it from the pan. Invert cake onto a plate and let cool completely. Drizzle extra brown sugar sauce* over the top of the cake or on individual slices. The cake is best eaten the day it is made due to the high moisture content of the fruit. If you need to save it, be sure to store in the refrigerator. *Sauce thickens as it cools, so microwave it for a few seconds if you need it to be more pourable. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carolyn-hillyer/message

Jesse Pollak is the creator of Base, which is a Layer 2 scaling solution from Coinbase that launched last week. Base has quickly become a trending topic this summer, attracting more than $200M of value in its short life.

In our conversation, we dive into the origin story of Base, why opt for a Layer 2 and not start a new Layer 1, why go for Optimistic rollups, how Base is unique in the already crowded Layer 2 space, their decentralization road map and more.

Caden Braly, the visionary CEO of AgentsTech, embarked on a transformative journey driven by a passion for technology and a desire to revolutionize the insurance industry. The seeds of this groundbreaking venture were sown during an eye-opening experience at an insurance training conference.As Caden attended a conference hosted by a carrier, he couldn't help but notice a stark contrast between his own brokerage and larger firms. While smaller brokerages like his own were relatively up-to-date with modern software solutions, many larger counterparts seemed stuck in the past, struggling with outdated technologies to solve their business problems.This realization struck a chord with Caden, inspiring him to embark on a mission to bridge the gap between insurance brokers and innovative insurtech companies. Recognizing the immense potential for improvement and efficiency within the industry, Caden founded AgentsTech, a platform designed to connect insurance brokers with the cutting-edge solutions they desperately needed.Advertisers: https://gozynta.com/eureka/https://timezest.com/mspradio/Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
