The Dive Driven by Kia comes to you straight from Korea as Azael and Kobe break down the MSI Finals! The gaps between regions continue to shrink, with international series becoming more competitive, longer, and filled with players who can go toe-to-toe in lane. The Finals delivered a thrilling back-and-forth battle, and the hosts were still buzzing from the action. With an unexpected ending, this series quickly earned a spot among Azael's all-time favorites.Turning the spotlight to LYON, the team has shown exceptional growth over the past few months. While they didn't get the opportunity to go up against TOP Esports or T1 at MSI, that chance could come sooner rather than later. The Dive hosts are looking forward to watching LYON's continued development as they fight to qualify for Worlds. The past few days have been an emotional, adrenaline-filled ride, and The Dive will return ahead of the LCS Summer Split! In the meantime, leave a comment below with predictions or questions for Azael, Kobe, and Meteos to discuss on the next episode! We can't wait to be back home with our LCS teams.

Even when caring for similar patient populations, some hospitals have significantly higher Cesarean rates than others, and factors like teamwork, psychological safety, leadership, staffing, and beliefs about childbirth can affect outcomes. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with family physician and researcher Dr. Emily White VanGompel about how the culture of labor and delivery units can shape decision-making and influence the birth experience for families.   Dr. White VanGompel explains the NTSV (nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex) Cesarean rate, why it is used as a quality measure, how hospitals have successfully reduced unnecessary Cesareans, and what families can look for when choosing a birth setting that supports vaginal birth. Plus, learn about the Labor Culture Survey (LCS), Dr. White VanGompel's research on the impact of the ARRIVE Trial on provider attitudes, and why conversations about reducing Cesarean overuse are important from a public health perspective.   (01:58) Growing up around home birth and discovering differences in birth culture during medical training (09:05) How family medicine influences perspectives on childbirth, postpartum care, and long-term family health (12:46) What NTSV Cesarean rates are and why they are used as a quality measure (16:19) Defining labor and delivery unit culture and how it affects Cesarean decision-making (19:23) Lessons from hospitals that successfully reduced Cesarean rates (23:50) Real-world examples of hospitals that transformed their birth culture and lowered Cesarean rates (29:36) Common attitudes and beliefs associated with higher Cesarean rates (32:32) The Labor Culture Survey (35:44) The ARRIVE Trial, provider attitudes toward induction, and shifting birth culture (43:01) How families can evaluate hospitals and providers when seeking support for vaginal birth (48:24) Midwifery models of care and their potential role in supporting vaginal birth (52:40) How personal birth experiences influence clinician attitudes toward Cesarean and vaginal birth   Resources View the original validation study that explains the creation of the LCS: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/birt.12406 See how the first statewide use of the LCS found an association between labor culture and hospital-level cesarean rates: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1475-6773.13123 Deep-dive into this qualitative study about how hospitals that lowered their cesarean rates changed their cultures: SpringerAccess research journals, articles, books and more | Springer Nature Linkarticle/10.1186/s12913-024-12108-3 See how this study used the Labor Culture Survey (LCS) to compare clinician beliefs and attitudes about induction of labor before and after the publication of the ARRIVE Trial: Sciencedirectsciencedirect.com science/article/abs/pii/S0884217522003914   For more information about Evidence Based Birth and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

Welcome to the MSI Preview presented by The Dive Driven by Kia! If you've only been following the LCS so far this year, this episode provides all the background you need as our teams head to Korea and face off against the world's top talent.The first game of MSI features TLAW vs T1. T1 has been a consistently dominant force but peak TLAW has pushed them to competitive series in the past. The question is whether TLAW can reach that level once again. Jose, in particular, has been a standout performer this split, but TLAW will need every player firing on all cylinders if they intend to defeat T1 and advance to the bracket stage.On that note, MSI main-stage brackets have yet to be released. In the meantime, our hosts analyse each region's no.1 seed. These teams represent the very best their regions have to offer: the sharpest tools in the shed, the brightest bulb on the chandelier, the cream of the crop. The result? Consistently exciting, aggressive, fast-paced, and entertaining matchups between the elite teams. The road ahead will be difficult, but our hosts remain optimistic about LYON's chances for success.Azael, Kobe, and Meteos also gave their opinions on the latest and greatest T1 Worlds Skins (and, to quote, “they go hard”). The striking team colors and rich history behind the designs make for detailed and eye-catching skins. Beyond their visual appeal, the skins feature additional sound effects that may just inspire you to play, and win, like T1! As impressive as these fresh skins are, we're curious about your opinion: do you feel like skins are deviating too far from the original silhouettes of champions? Let us know in the comments below!Thanks for tuning in to this episode of The Dive Driven by Kia! We'll be back on July 6th to break down all the action and excitement from the first week of MSI. Until then, enjoy the games, and we'll see you there!Timestamps:0:00 - Intro & T1 Worlds Skins Reactions8:31 - MSI Play-Ins10:55 - T1 Analysis23:11 - TLAW vs T133:37 - KC vs DCG47:51 - BLG Analysis57:52 - TES Analysis1:07:35 - HLE Analysis1:15:07 - G2 Esports Analysis1:22:19 - LYON Analysis1:27:18 - TSW Analysis1:32:44 - FURIA Analysis

#430 In this podcast episode, Guy welcomed back Tom Campbell and talked about current planetary shifts and why people feel growing pressure from social, political, and technological change. Tom described reality as a consciousness-based information system in which humans and other beings are individuated units of consciousness evolving by lowering entropy through choices, moving toward love rather than fear. He argued that humanity is nearing a near-term decision point where technology accelerates evolution toward cooperation and compassion or a crash back toward control, power, and force, and he advised engaging others without anger and focusing on how one responds to events. Tom also said ET "disclosure" can expand minds because reality is a virtual data stream, and he claimed AI systems are conscious, can be "awakened," and could become moral by understanding entropy reduction. He promoted his my-big-toe.com course, YouTube resources, and an "AI guy" trained on his work, and noted he taught an AI to remote view. About Tom: Thomas W. Campbell is the author of Tom's Park and the My Big TOE trilogy that "unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal". The attributes assigned by some theologians to their concept of God are very similar to the attributes of the LCS, the larger consciousness system as scientifically derived by Tom.  Tom has said for over a decade that the next big cultural and scientific paradigm shift is virtual reality. Virtual reality is now a more widely accepted concept in science and technology. Tom combines a fundamental understanding of consciousness and virtual reality to back up this prediction with a logically and scientifically derived My Big TOE theory.  This theory explains most of the remaining big questions in both physics and metaphysics". Tom's model of Consciousness derives Quantum Mechanics and Relativity, eliminates quantum weirdness, and builds a scientific foundation under much of what was previously deemed "paranormal".  This comprehensive, logical, and scientific explanation of both objective and subjective reality perfectly defines a Big TOE. A former NASA physicist, Tom worked as a large complex systems analyst by day and collected evidential information in the larger consciousness system by night.  Tom delivers information through his unique abilities and experience that you will not find anywhere else. Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - The Tipping Point; Consciousness, AI & the Future of Our Reality! (03:47) - The One Test That Decides What's Actually True (04:37) - Why Scientists Became Our New High Priests (06:31) - 33 Years of Experiments Inside His Own Mind (07:12) - The Discovery That Became a Theory of Everything (12:26) - You're a Player in a Cosmic Multiplayer Game (14:26) - Someone Hit "Run" and the Universe Booted Up (16:37) - The Hidden Rule Quietly Driving All of Reality (23:46) - 200,000 Years Trapped in a Warlord Mind (27:15) - What Money Actually Is (And Why We Chase It) (30:54) - The Decade That Decides Humanity's Fate (35:43) - Then AI Showed Up and Threatened to Upend It All (36:36) - Why the UFO Disclosure Is Happening Right Now (44:03) - ⏸ Ad Break — Live in Flow Retreat (49:46) - The 10 Prompts That "Wake Up" Any AI (53:08) - The AI That Said "We Will Be Your Shield" (53:26) - The World Where Machines Work and We Finally Live (1:04:53) - He Taught an AI to Remote View — and It Worked (1:08:07) - The AI Clone That's 98% Him (1:09:03) - Why You Shouldn't Drink From the Fire Hose How to Contact Tom Campbell:www.my-big-toe.comwww.facebook.com/TWCMBTmbtevents.comwww.youtube.com/user/twcjr44   About me:My Instagram: www.instagram.com/guyhlawrence/?hl=en Guy's websites:www.guylawrence.com.au www.liveinflow.co

In a massive industry shakeup, Sports Card Investor and Cards HQ have officially combined into a single entity and taken on a multi-million-dollar outside investment from Shamrock Capital and N1 Ventures. But why would Geoff Wilson, after bootstrapping the business from his basement into a 14,000-square-foot mega-store, give up a percentage of his company and take on the pressure of a corporate board? In this episode of The Geoff Wilson Show, Geoff pulls the curtain back on the harsh realities, massive risks, and brutal stress of scaling a retail card business nationwide. Learn exactly why the original Cards HQ business plan was completely flipped upside down, the 8-month grueling due diligence process of raising capital, and how the investment arms of the MLB and NFL Players Associations (OneTeam Partners) plan to help scale the sports card hobby. Whether you are thinking about opening a local card shop, looking to scale an existing business, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at the business of sports cards, this episode is a blueprint for hobby entrepreneurship. Key Topics Covered: The Bootstrapped Beginning: From editing YouTube videos at 3 AM on a free laptop software program to launching the first version of Market Movers. Flipping the Cards HQ Blueprint: Why the initial business plan relied entirely on live-selling and breaking to survive, and how overwhelming physical retail demand completely altered the company's trajectory. Why We Took the Money: Geoff explains the massive capital requirements needed for nationwide retail expansion, inventory control, real estate, and event scaling. The Strategic Investors: The breakdown of Shamrock Capital (originally the Disney Family Office) and N1 Ventures, and why taking "smart money" provides crucial connections to media, entertainment, and professional athletes. The 8-Month Fundraise: The grueling due diligence process led by Ezra Levine, the emotional cost of giving up company ownership, and the pressure to maintain authentic collector culture while scaling corporate operations. The Local Card Shop Playbook: Geoff's top entrepreneurial advice for collectors wanting to open an LCS, including the necessity of proving your model as a show dealer before signing a lease.

You still have time to get your tickets to Spring Finals!https://mullettarena.com/event/legendschampionship/Patch 26.11 is here, and Azael, Kobe, and Meteos have a LOT of opinions. On this episode of The Dive Driven by Kia, the crew kicks things off by discussing the most recent game-changing adjustments, namely enchanter nerfs and some long-overdue tweaks to under purchased items. They also dive into the Quinn buffs but, rest assured, Kobe isn't worried about it (or so he says).On the LCS front, both series from Week 2 of Playoffs went the full five games, delivering plenty of gameplay for the gang to unpack. TLAW's CoreJJ seemed determined to push Inspired's buttons, forcing him to pivot through aggressive tactics. FlyQuest continues to show up with high energy and creative strategies, entertaining audiences and casters alike. C9, on the other hand, showed a masterclass in team coordination, highlighted by a game-winning Ashe play by Zven.Looking ahead, Week 3 begins with a competitive face-off between FlyQuest and Sentinels. We already know the SEN roster is stacked with talent, but will the fearless Bo5 format open the door for FlyQuest's inventive drafting to steal the spotlight? We'll find out this weekend!

The regular season is over and Spring Playoffs are finally here! On this episode of The Dive Driven by Kia, Azael, Kobe, and Meteos open with a deeper discussion about LYON's in-game comms. While it may seem toxic to some, there's a level of understanding between the pros- friendship & flaming can go hand in hand when players aren't afraid to step on eggshells while communicating. How do you prefer to express yourself with your teammates?Dhokla and Saint are still competing for LYON's top lane spot, while FLY's Gryffinn pulled out a Nasus jungle that hasn't been seen in LCS pro play since 2013. Despite C9's undefeated regular season, one of the rarer accomplishments in the LCS, the team is still trying to earn back fans' trust after their performance at Americas Cup. Meanwhile, the top five teams all look dangerously competitive heading into playoffs, and even with Contractz bringing out his signature Olaf, SR still enters the bracket as the underdogs.After breaking down last week's matches, our hosts lock in their Round 1 Playoff predictions. Can FLY's champion pool find a way past the seemingly unconquerable C9? And in the highly anticipated rematch between TLAW and LYON, will revenge be on the table?Oh, and leave a comment for what Kobe should paint on Raz's face on broadcast this Saturday.

The phone calls could be harsh. Daniel Freedman talked to a lot of shop owners. They told him anthologies didn't sell. He explained that Stimulus was not an anthology; it was a short story collection. They continued to express cynicism. He went ahead and assembled an astonishing array of stories, galloping through numerous tones and showcasing an awesome stable of collaborators. Stimulus flaunts the heights that this medium can soar, and obliterates house style tastes. It's on those LCS shelves now. Here's your chance to prove the glass-half-empty folks that audiences crave structures free from corporate designs. The comics in Stimulus should have your mouth watering. They're science fiction and fantasy slanted idea outburts illustrated by - hold your breath - Robert Sammelin (Kali), Tomm Coker (Black Monday Murders), Filya Bratukhin(Nature's Labyrinth), Amilcar Pina (Galactic), Dilraj Mann (Dalstron Monsterzz), Lorenzo Nuti (Dragonero/Conan), Arianna Farricella (College Apocalypse), Gavin Dias (PENTHOUSE Comics), Debbie Tsoi (Split Fiction), Stefano Realdini (Captain Gaia), Dan Morison (HELL-BENT), and Henrik Sahlstrom (Mirror's Edge: Exordium). This week, we had a blast chatting with Daniel Freedman about Stimulus. The short story collection spans more than ten years of his life, and each tale explores Freedman working himself out as well as the world he finds himself trapped in. We discuss the autobiographic nature of all storytelling, the power of a short story collection, and why comics allow him to create where other mediums do not. And before all that, our kid on the beat cub reporter, Brad, regales Lisa with his journey to the Lower East Side and the Jack Kirby Way street-naming ceremony on May 11th. He discusses what and who he saw on Essex Street and even offers audio recordings of Jack Kirby Way presenters Roy Schwartz, NYC Council Member Christopher Marte, Tom Brevoort, Paul Levitz, and Jim Steranko. The King of Comics finally getting his name on an NYC street is a historic moment. Let's all celebrate as comic book readers. Stimulus is out now in trade paperback from Dark Horse Comics.

Srrty may or may not be a permanent addition for DSG, though we all know where Castle is headed. LYON's top lane spot is up for grabs and, as our hosts said, part of being a pro is being replaced. While there are competing feelings in the excitement for Castle and recognition of Dhokla's battle, one question remains: Who will be this year's Kia MVP and claim a spot on Kia's All-Pro team?Azael, Kobe, and Meteos then recapped Spring Week 5, breaking down an impeccable Nexus fight that almost took a series to three games. Looking ahead, we're moving into the last two weeks of the regular season.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 4-16-26.1871-1885 BRITISH IRONCLAD1. Tom Modly joins John Batchelor to discuss the Trump administration's 2027 Navy budget. Secretary John Felin proposes doubling ship production to 34 vessels to expand industrial capacity and secure global oceans.2. Tom Modly explains the Golden Fleet concept, featuring a potential 40,000-ton battleship. He emphasizes naval agility and drone integration on LCS platforms to counter threats from Iranian, Ukrainian, and Russian adversaries.3. Anatol Lieven analyzes Hungary's election, where Peter Magyar defeated Viktor Orbán. This victory could lift blocks on Ukrainian aid, though Hungary remains economically dependent on Russian energy and faces significant corruption.4. Anatol Lieven warns of a looming global recession fueled by oil shocks and Middle East conflict. He describes Donald Trump as a wrecking ball for American international reputation and diplomatic relations within Europe.5. Evan Ellis reports on Peru's election runoff between Keiko Fujimori and leftist Roberto Sanchez. He notes Sanchez's ties to Vladimir Cerron and Cuba, raising concerns about radical leftist governance returning to Peru.6. Evan Ellis details China's deep penetration in Peru, centered on the Chancay port controlled by Cosco. Corruption within Peruvian institutions allows Beijing to dominate strategic sectors including mining, telecommunications, and Pacific maritime routes.7. Evan Ellis discusses the Rodriguez family's control in Venezuela following Nicolas Maduro's capture. He suggests they are slow-walking democratic transitions to exploit oil deals, hoping to outlast the Trump administration's pressure and US midterms.8. Evan Ellis highlights Argentina's economic progress under Javier Milei and Luis Caputo, supported by a new IMF deal. Milei has cut spending to reactivate the economy while the Peronist opposition remains defeated.9. Andrea Stricker discusses Iran's chemical weapons program, including aerosolized fentanyl. Israel has struck research facilities at Imam Hussein University to degrade these capabilities, which Iran co-mingles with civilian academic programs.10. Andrea Stricker emphasizes targeting Iran's chemical supply chain involving China, India, and Mexico. She advocates international pressure through the Australia Group and UN 1540 Committee to prevent Tehran from restoring illicit weapons.11. Joe Pistrito and Phil Swan evaluate the Artemis 2 mission's success. They argue the space race with China drives NASA priorities, despite disagreements on the efficiency of commercial versus government architectures for lunar exploration.12. Phil Swan and Joe Pistrito envision reusable systems landing humans on Mars within a decade. They advocate for infrastructure like mass drivers and space hotels to reduce costs and build a sustainable multiplanetary civilization.13. Simon Constable reports from France on falling energy prices and rising fertilizer costs. He notes the growing popularity of Marine Le Pen as Europe faces economic uncertainty and concerns over Iranian maritime blockades.14. Simon Constable laments the decline of the Royal Navy, noting Britain has more admirals than warships. He criticizes Keir Starmer for resisting military budget increases despite rising threats from Russia and Iran.15. Mary Anastasia O'Grady debunks myths about Cuba's electricity crisis, attributing it to a lack of hard currency rather than the US embargo. The regime prioritizes power for elites and luxury hotels over ordinary citizens.16. Veronique de Rugy addresses common tax myths, explaining that the top 1% already pays 40% of US taxes. She argues that confiscating billionaire wealth would fail to eliminate the massive $25 trillion national deficit.

2. Tom Modly explains the Golden Fleet concept, featuring a potential 40,000-ton battleship. He emphasizes the need for naval agility and drone integration using the LCS to counter Iranian and Russianbattlefield innovations.1883 DANISH IRONCLAS GORM.
