In this week's Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire welcomes Lynette Zang to expose the global shift towards centralised digital currencies engineered for surveillance and control and the accelerating collapse of the debt-based fiat system.Both experts emphasise the power of gold and silver as honest, decentralised assets that preserve purchasing power, protect freedom, and enable communities to withstand the collapse of the economic system during the monetary transition.Check out Lynette:https://www.lynettezang.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvONE8y1nZarMAnZM-2ojfASend your questions to Andy here: https://www.speakpipe.com/LFTVTimestamps: 00:00 Start08:19 Lessons on sound money and silver's enduring value15:43 Building resilient local communities and retaining financial sovereignty22:01 Sound money versus digital debt: stablecoins and global control28:59 Gold-backed independence amid expanding digital surveillance36:09 Restoring fairness, freedom, and protection from inflation43:22 Growing the global sound money movement through grassroots silver50:06 Layered gold strategy for wealth preservation across time56:51 Community, unity and resilience through gold and silverSign up for Kinesis on desktop:https://kinesis.money/kinesis-precious-metals/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=lftv_248Download the Kinesis Mobile app - available App Store and Google Play:Apple: https://kms.kinesis.money/signupGoogle: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kinesis.kinesisappAlso, don't forget to check out our social channels where you can stay up to date with all the latest news and developments from the team.X: https://twitter.com/KinesisMonetaryFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/kinesismoney/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinesismoney/Telegram: https://t.me/kinesismoneyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kinesismoneyThe opinions expressed in this video by Andrew Maguire and any guest are solely their own and do not reflect the official policy, position, or views of Kinesis.

The law is being broken, our country is being damaged, and there are foreign actors involved. It's a plan for both sponsoring and shaping civil disorder and unrest. Included are disruption of Federal facilities. We have the receipts. It's a conspiracy to defraud the United States and inhibit it's function. This is seditious conspiracy. Material support and training for terrorism is being whitewashed. Call it violent extremism, because that's what it is. Multi-national trainers sharing lessons and tactics. Car bombs were part of the orientation. Wells Fargo and Obama money moves. Go Fund Me is involved too. They are training people to train more people. Decentralization is their modus operandi. The goal is always to create civil unrest and make it seem organic. They are into the collapsing pillar theory. Simplistic thinking seems to work for them. Imagine if all that effort was used for good. Feeling frustrated or off to the side? Try to see the future you, and how today's actions reflect on your character.

Irish techno producer Kerrie returns to Tresor Records on 24th October 2025 with her second EP for the label. Entitled Echoes Of The Live Wire, this collection captures the beauty and essence of live performance — a moment in time never to be repeated. This fixing of time is also given a different meaning as the EP explores the ways in which intense moments in our lives, both joyful and painful, are crystallised into memory — both beautiful and haunting — lingering long after they've passed. Layered meanings are employed throughout as Kerrie explores this idea: Live Wire draws connections between circuit boards and the human nervous system, whilst also toying with multiple meanings of the word “live”. Echoes Of channels classic Detroit techno influences, resonating with the distant hum of memories that refuse to fade, while Moment To Memory is a beatless, floating piece which slowly builds to an ecstatic crescendo. Digital bonus tracks Recircuit and Reclaim add further depth to the core metaphor: the former a driving, minimal yet building techno workout, and the latter a cathartic and emotionally open track that delivers intensity with vulnerability. Echoes Of The Live Wire reflects on memory as a complex, dual-sided force where joy and pain coexist with equal weight. Her creative process becomes a form of meditation and emotional processing — using machines to process, reflect, and let go. The result is a body of work that loops back on itself, telling a story of fleeting moments and their lasting emotional imprints.

Emerging from the underground with undeniable energy, DJ Landan Time is set to ignite dance floors once again with the release of his latest tech house weapon, “Get Your,” officially dropping October 24th. Known for his high-octane sets and precision-crafted grooves, DJ Landan delivers a track that's equal parts attitude and atmosphere — tailor-made for festivals, late-night clubs, and gym playlists alike. “Get Your” is a bumpy, bass-heavy roller that commands attention from the very first kick. Built on a driving low-end and rolling percussive groove, the track leans into its hypnotic vocal hook — a bold declaration of “keep your hands off my man” — infusing the production with storytelling heat and a touch of swagger. Layered with crisp percussion, chunky basslines, and tension-building textures, the single steadily builds before erupting into bass-fuelled drops that guarantee to keep bodies moving until the last beat. The result is a high-impact fusion of bounce, bite, and flavour — a track designed for DJs seeking both crowd-pleasing power and underground credibility. Early buzz from DJs and tastemakers suggests “Get Your” is primed to become a peak-time favourite, bridging the gap between underground warehouse sessions and festival main stages. With its confident rhythm and infectious groove, DJ Landan Time continues to prove his ability to deliver pure dance floor fire.

His latest exhibition, Dedicated to the One I Love, reflects what Jeffrey Gibson describes as a journey much like a loving relationship — marked by ups and downs, moments of great joy, and times of difficulty. As the first Indigenous artist to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale, Gibson talks about bringing Native American practices and performances to his pedestals at the U.S. Pavilion, and about how the ideas of French philosophers Simone de Beauvoir and Jacques Derrida have found their way into his installations. We discuss the artistic and social realities of living under a Trump presidency, and the sense of positivity he discovered by immersing himself in the natural world.

Nigerian-Belgian artist Otobong Nkanga chose a particularly poetic title for her latest exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris: “I Dreamt of You in Colours.” This marks her largest show to date in France. Otobong joins us to talk about how living entities are in constant dialogue with the environment in her multi-media installations, and why “bling” means so much more than the glint of cheap jewelry in her artwork. The award-winning sculptor also discusses how stone, textiles and even her own voice can be shaped to tell a story, and we discuss the seminal artworks that prompted her to embrace art as a career.

One of the most delicious and iconic comfort foods in the European Union is moussaka and its many variations, depending on where it is made. Moussaka is cousins with the shepherd's pie, and is a layered eggplant or potato-based dish, often including ground meat, tomato, and a top layer of custardy béchamel sauce. In this same spirit, Chef Rebecca Peizer from The Culinary Institute of America reimagines this iconic dish by using ingredients from all over the European Union. Get the Moussaka recipe here.

This episode is about aftermath — the people left behind, the communities left reeling, grief compounded, and resilience tested. The story of Normandale Park didn't end when the shots stopped. In Part 2, we trace Benjamin Jeffrey Smith's arrest, eventual guilty plea, and sentencing — alongside the devastating loss of Deg, whose death was later ruled a homicide linked to that night.For some, the Portland Police Bureau's framing in early statements was enraging, a painful distortion of what had truly happened. For others, those same words confirmed the stereotypes and suspicions they already held about demonstrators, the BLM movement, even Portland as a city. Layered onto this divide was the revelation that the FBI had been aware of Smith beforehand, a fact that unsettled many and deepened mistrust.This isn't just the second half of a crime story; it's the ongoing fight to hold institutions accountable while honoring those whose lives were forever changed. It's about Portland, but it's also about much more: the way stories like this echo across the country, and the lessons we can't afford to ignore.Visit our website! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Patreon, & more! If you have any true crime, paranormal, or witchy stories you'd like to share with us & possibly have them read (out loud) on an episode, email us atpnwhauntsandhomicides@gmail.com or use this link.

What's up, dudes? Hey you! Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox is with me to talk Robert Smith! Yes we're digging into Christmas songs by The Cure!On December 9, 1987, The Cure came out for a fourth encore and blasted through a cover of “Merry Christmas Everybody” by Slade. It was the final song on the third night at Wembley, the final show of The Kissing Tour.Delving deeper, many of their songs allude to Christmas or romanticize Christmas as a state of happiness and content. For example, “Let's Go to Bed,” Christmas is the metaphor for physical excitement and anticipation. Further, in “Other Voices,” a song about the sickness of lust, the protagonist asks his paramour to come around at Christmas for a festive compromise.Similarly, in “Hey, You,” Smith asks the one who looks like Christmas to come kiss him.  “The Snakepit” and “Last Dance” also reflect themes of nostalgia and melancholy and Christmas.Driving basslines? Check. Layered guitar and synths? Got ‘em. Eye liner and lipstick? Definitely!

Youtubehttps://x.com/JHX9officialSpotifyFacebookBioClinton Township, MI. Detroit-born synth-pop innovator JH-X9, the artistic alter ego of Justin Horbes, is making waves with his latest single “Heavy Water.” for fusing moody industrial textures with infectious, danceable rhythms, JH-X9 delivers a hypnotic soundscape of fluid melodies, mechanical beats, and haunting monotone vocals that linger long after the track ends.“Heavy Water started as a cyclical melodic line,” JH-X9 explains. “It carried this fluid, melancholy, slightly ominous vibe. The Roland D-10 keyboard gave it an oceanic, melodic theme, almost like Enya's new age atmosphere, but twisted into something mechanical and danceable.”The single highlights his signature ability to strike a balance between industrial grit and rhythmic drive. Layered arpeggiated bass lines and pounding mechanical beats create an atmosphere that is both mesmerizing and immersive, designed for any setting from the club floor to late-night drives to quiet moments of reflection.Rooted in Detroit's rich techno heritage, JH-X9 embraces the city's industrial DNA. “Detroit techno has this robotic, factory-like sound, which I try to carry into my music,” he says. Vocoder-driven backing vocals add a semi-human, robotic undertone, reinforcing the tension between machine precision and emotional depth.A self-taught producer, JH-X9 has evolved from experimenting with percussive sounds made from pots, pans, and junk metal to mastering hardware synthesizers, crafting tracks with polished percussive textures and deep 808-inspired bass. “Heavy Water” reflects that growth, pairing raw experimentation with refined production.The track has already gained recognition from DJs and mix shows within the darker electronic scene, including features on Communion After Dark, a showcase for Gothic and darkwave music, and Synthentral, a program spotlighting synth-pop and electronic exploration. Fans and critics alike have praised “Heavy Water” for its haunting yet danceable structure and stylistic versatility.“Right now, my focus is on versatility,” JH-X9 notes. “I draw from Eurobeat, J-pop, industrial, and techno. Heavy Water is a reflection of that evolution. It is stylistically unique, but it is also distinctly me.”For new listeners and longtime fans, “Heavy Water” captures JH-X9's bold approach to electronic music, blending melody, rhythm, and mechanical textures into an experience that feels both futuristic and unforgettable.About JH-X9JH-X9 is the creative alter ego of Detroit-based musician Justin Horbes (b. 1999). He released his debut album in 2016 while still in high school, earning coverage from international music blogs and radio shows including X-Ray FM's Songs From Under The Floorboard and Italy's Whitelight//Whiteheat. In 2019, JH-X9 performed his first live show opening for French coldwave duo Lovataraxx. Today, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, merging industrial, techno, and synth-driven elements into a sound that is as moody and mechanical as it is immersive and danceable.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Stress isn't just something to “manage” — it's a signal, a teacher, and often, an invitation to look deeper at our health, our choices, and our lives. In this solo episode, Darin reframes stress not as an enemy, but as a dashboard light pointing toward misalignments in our nervous system, environment, relationships, and purpose. Drawing on science, practical tools, and personal insight, Darin reveals how layered stress silently drains our vitality — and how to transform it into an ally for growth, healing, and deeper contentment. Whether it's hidden trauma, toxic environments, unresolved conflict, or the modern distractions constantly pulling at our attention, Darin lays out a roadmap to stop the leaks and reclaim the energy already within you.

In this episode of A Meaningful Mess, Andi McNair explores the concept of 'Big Talk' versus 'Small Talk' in educational settings. She emphasizes the importance of fostering deeper conversations in the classroom to enhance engagement and learning, particularly for gifted learners. The episode provides practical strategies for educators to encourage Big Talk, including the use of layered questions, Socratic seminars, and silent big talk. McNair advocates for creating a culture of curiosity and depth in conversations, ultimately aiming to transform classroom dynamics and student engagement.

In what is (sadly) becoming a weekly segment, this episode starts with talk of the latest installment of npm package takeovers, dubbed Shai Halud as discussed in Slack and analyzed by Paul McCarty and team. Strategies discussed for monitoring packages and preventing malware from entering into organization's products. This is followed by an article referencing security via intentional redundancy when designing sensitive application functionality. Finally, analysis of a recent article from Frankly Speaking that lists a series of new commandments for security teams, which are mostly agreed to by both Seth and Ken, with some caveats.

In this deeply vulnerable and empowering episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and somatic practitioner, Laurie James, to unpack her remarkable journey from decades of nervous system dysregulation to deep, body-based healing.  Laurie's story begins in childhood, where she endured the pain of adoption complexities, sibling abuse, and growing up in a home where she never felt truly safe. These early experiences planted the seeds of hypervigilance, self-worth struggles, and an ongoing search for belonging.  Fast forward to adulthood, Laurie faced multiple betrayals in her marriage—one that shook her to her core when her then-husband violated her deepest boundary by contacting her birth mother against her wishes, and another that emerged as a major financial betrayal impacting their family. Layered with years of caregiving for her aging parents, the stress built silently in her body until it erupted as a severe health crisis.  Laurie shares openly how chronic stress and unresolved trauma manifested physically—gut issues, anxiety, sleep disruption—and how years of talk therapy alone couldn't release what was stored in her body. The turning point came when she discovered somatic experiencing—a therapeutic approach that helps release trauma from the nervous system through gentle body awareness practices.  In our conversation, Laurie explains:  Why trauma lives in the body and can cause chronic dysregulation for decades  The physical symptoms and health issues that can stem from betrayal and unresolved trauma  How somatic experiencing works and why it was the missing piece in her healing  Practical examples of self-regulation tools you can try right now  How to build a personalized nervous system regulation toolkit  The importance of curiosity, presence, and “nourishing” difficult emotions rather than avoiding them  If you've ever wondered why you can't “think” your way out of anxiety, hypervigilance, or betrayal pain—this episode will give you a new perspective and hope. Lourie's story is proof that even after decades of dysregulation, it is possible to find safety, stability, and healing in your own body again.  Resources:  Laurie James: https://www.laurieejames.com  The 5 Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough: https://thepbtinstitute.com/reclaim/  PBT Certification Info: https://thepbtinstitute.com/get-certified

Quotes from the episode I've also started creating these little quiz questions in them, but they're not hard. They're just to keep their attention going. -M. C. Flux Many students seem to enjoy this and actually learn well from it, so I keep doing it. -M. C. Flux I think these students struggle so much with attention that bringing them back with a really simple question just helps. -M. C. Flux The fact that students have shorter attention spans is still something we need to pay attention to.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discusses various strategies for managing hunting properties, improving habitats, and understanding deer behavior. He emphasizes the importance of acclimating deer to human activity, creating effective flow movement, and utilizing trail cameras strategically. The conversation with Colin Koskinen (Legendary Habitat) covers the significance of layering cover and creating hubs for deer movement, as well as tips for concealing trail cameras to minimize disturbance. As the hunting season approaches, Jon Teater encourages listeners to be patient and make positive impacts on their properties to enhance deer activity. Takeaways Maximizing your hunting property requires active management. Deer can acclimate to human activity if managed properly. Food plots can be beneficial if done correctly. Flow movement is essential for deer behavior. Creating hubs can enhance deer movement and activity. Trail cameras should be integrated into the landscape. Concealment of cameras is crucial for accurate data. Layering cover can improve deer bedding areas. Do not rely solely on camera data; observe the field. Every action taken on the property should be a positive impact.   Social Links https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.legendaryhabitat.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbIsv6Orm9cD025IBFx8DWA https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/legendary-habitat-podcast/id1613808320 https://www.facebook.com/LegendaryHabitat/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Joe Sanok speaks with NYT bestselling author Lawrence Armstrong about Layered Leadership and the role of creativity in effective leadership. Lawrence shares how drawing inspiration from the world around you, staying curious, and thinking in “synthesized layers” can lead to innovative strategies and solutions. He introduces the concept of “whole-brain thinking,” encouraging leaders to strengthen not only their natural abilities but also areas where they're less skilled—engaging in continuous learning to become more adaptable. Lawrence stresses the importance of creating collaborative environments where ideas can be freely shared, built upon, and refined, and advises hiring people with expertise beyond your own to strengthen the team's collective problem-solving power. For private practitioners and business owners, his key message is simple: you're already a leader—so keep learning, embrace creativity, and apply whole-brain thinking to drive growth and inspire others.
