Full Redesign Review Sports on TV Today: Where to Watch or Stream Games - Sports Media Watch Longevity Burn-In Test Updates And Results From 100 TVs RTINGS.com has been conducting an accelerated longevity test for over two years. We've covered it periodically but haven't provided an update recently. In today's show, we'll summarize the key findings and discuss their implications for consumers. 1. Introduction to the Test Methodology and Purpose RTINGS.com conducts an extensive longevity and burn-in test on over 100 TVs to assess their durability under real-world usage conditions. The purpose is to evaluate how modern displays, particularly OLED and LED models, hold up over time, focusing on issues like image retention and permanent burn-in that can degrade picture quality. The methodology involves running TVs for thousands of hours in a simulated accelerated aging scenario, including static content like CNN tickers, sports scores, and video games to mimic common usage patterns that risk burn-in. Tests are performed in a controlled environment at 50% brightness (except for high-end OLEDs at 100% for stress testing), with periodic photo documentation and measurements of uniformity, color accuracy, and brightness retention. This ongoing project, started in 2019, aims to provide data-driven insights into TV lifespan beyond short-term reviews. 2. Key Results and Findings The test has yielded detailed observations on burn-in susceptibility across various TV brands and panel types, with over 18,000 hours of cumulative runtime as of the latest update. Here's an expanded breakdown: OLED Performance and Burn-In Incidence: OLED TVs, known for perfect blacks but vulnerable to burn-in from static elements, showed mixed results. The LG C8 (2018 model) exhibited permanent burn-in after just 8,850 hours, with visible CNN ticker ghosts in dark scenes, marking it as one of the earliest failures. In contrast, the LG G4 (2024) and Sony A95L (2023) QD-OLEDs remained burn-in free after 5,000+ hours, though minor temporary image retention appeared in high-stress tests. The Samsung S95B QD-OLED burned in after 9,000 hours, displaying HUD elements from racing games, while the LG G2 showed no permanent damage after 14,000 hours but had noticeable retention. LED and Mini-LED Durability: LED TVs generally fared better against burn-in. The TCL QM8 QLED (2023) and Hisense U8/U8N (2024) showed no burn-in after 5,000–7,000 hours, with only temporary retention in extreme cases. However, the Samsung QN90A (2021) developed subtle uniformity issues after 10,000 hours, but no true burn-in. Budget LEDs like the Hisense A6G lasted without issues up to 12,000 hours. Brightness and Color Degradation: Across all panels, brightness dropped by 20–50% over 10,000+ hours; for example, the LG CX lost 40% peak brightness. Color accuracy shifted slightly, with OLEDs maintaining better DeltaE scores (

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX French drugmaker Sanofi says it would offer a month's supply of any of its insulin products for $35 to all patients in the U.S. with a valid prescription, regardless of insurance status. The program, originally meant for uninsured diabetes patients, would now include those with commercial insurance or Medicare, the drugmaker said. Patients will be able to purchase any combination, type, and quantity of Sanofi insulins with a valid prescription for the fixed monthly price of $35, starting January 1. Lilly and Novo also have similar programs through which they offer insulin products for $35 a month for U.S. patients regardless of whether the patients have insurance. There is no law at work here – the only legislation that has changed the price of insulin came with the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022 with the Medicare cap. Helping lower the cost here, biosimilars hitting the market and the huge profitability for GLP-1 drugs for Novo and Lilly https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/sanofi-offer-all-insulin-products-35-per-month-us-2025-09-26/ XX A pill typically prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis and alopecia might help slow the progression of type 1 diabetes, a new study says. Baricitinib (bare-uh-SIT-nib) safely preserved the body's own insulin production in people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.. and their diabetes started progressing once they stopped taking baricitinib, results show. They produced less insulin and had less stable blood sugar levels.   Baricitinib works by quelling signals in the body that spur on the immune system, and is already approved for treating autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and alopecia, researchers said.   “Among the promising agents shown to preserve beta cell function in type 1 diabetes, baricitinib stands out because it can be taken orally, is well tolerated, including by young children, and is clearly efficacious,” Waibel said. “We are hopeful that larger phase III trials with baricitinib are going to commence soon, in people with recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes as well as in earlier stages to delay insulin dependence,” she added. “If these trials are successful, the drug could be approved for type 1 diabetes treatment within five years.”   Findings presented at medical meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.   https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2025-09-23/pill-effective-in-slowing-type-1-diabetes-progression XX An existing transplant drug has shown promise in slowing the progression of type 1 diabetes in newly diagnosed young people, potentially paving the way for the first therapy that modifies the disease after diagnosis. The Drug, called ATG, is currently used together with other medicines to prevent and treat the body from rejecting a kidney transplant. It can also be used to treat rejection following transplantation of other organs, such as hearts, gastrointestinal organs, or lungs. The researchers studied 117 people aged five to 25, who'd been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the past three to nine weeks. The participants were from 14 centers across eight European countries and were randomized to be given different doses of ATG (0.1, 0.5, 1.5, or 2.5 mg/kg) or a placebo. ATG was given as a two-day intravenous (IV) infusion. The main goal was to see how well the pancreas could still make insulin after 12 months, measured by C-peptide levels during a special meal test. C-peptide is released into the blood along with insulin by the pancreas.   The findings are promising, showing that ATG, even at a relatively low dose, can slow the loss of insulin-producing cells in young people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The lower dose also caused fewer side effects, making it a more practical option. https://newatlas.com/disease/antithymocyte-globulin-newly-diagnosed-type-1-diabetes/     XX The FDA has delayed its feedback on Lexicon Pharmaceuticals' application to bring Zynquista (sotagliflozin) to people with type 1 diabetes. The agency had planned to respond this month but will now wait until the fourth quarter after reviewing new data from ongoing studies. Zynquista, an oral drug meant to be used with insulin, has already been approved for heart failure (marketed as Inpefa). But in type 1 diabetes, it faces safety concerns: last year an FDA advisory committee voted 11–3 that its benefits don't outweigh the increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The FDA later issued a complete response letter rejecting the drug. Lexicon is still pushing forward, hoping its additional submissions will strengthen Zynquista's case for type 1 diabetes approval. https://www.biospace.com/fda/after-fda-rejection-lexicons-type-1-diabetes-drug-hit-with-another-regulatory-delay     XX A common but often undiagnosed genetic condition may be causing delays in type 2 diabetes diagnoses and increasing the risk of serious complications for thousands of Black and South Asian men in the UK—and potentially millions worldwide. A new study found around one in seven Black and one in 63 South Asian men in the UK carry a genetic variant known as G6PD deficiency. Men with G6PD deficiency are, on average, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes four years later than those without the gene variant. But despite this, fewer than one in 50 have been diagnosed with the condition.   G6PD deficiency does not cause diabetes, but it makes the widely used HbA1c blood test—which diagnoses and monitors diabetes—appear artificially low. This can mislead doctors and patients, resulting in delayed diabetes diagnosis and treatment.   The study found men with G6PD deficiency are at a 37% higher risk of developing diabetes-related microvascular complications, such as eye, kidney, and nerve damage, compared to other men with diabetes.   "This study highlights important evidence that must be used to tackle these health inequalities and improve outcomes for Black communities. Preventative measures are now needed to ensure that Black people, especially men, are not underdiagnosed or diagnosed too late." https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-09-hidden-genetic-delay-diabetes-diagnosis.html XX Novo Nordisk today announced the resubmission of its Biologics License Application (BLA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Awiqli® (insulin icodec) injection, a once-weekly basal insulin treatment for adults living with type 2 diabetes. If approved, Awiqli® would become the first once-weekly basal insulin available in the United States, providing an alternative to daily basal insulin injections for adults living with type 2 diabetes.   The resubmission is based on results from the ONWARDS type 2 diabetes phase 3a program for once-weekly Awiqli® which is comprised of five randomized, active-controlled, treat-to-target clinical trials in approximately 4,000 adults with type 2 diabetes. The clinical program evaluated Awiqli® vs. daily basal insulin and the primary endpoint in these trials was change in A1C from baseline.1-5 Awiqli® is approved in the EU, along with 12 additional countries. In addition, regulatory filings have been completed in several other countries, with further regulatory decisions expected in 2025. XX Interesting news from Sequel Med Tech – they've signed an agreement with Arecor to pair the twiist pump with AT278 an ultra-concentrated (500U/mL), ultra-rapid insulin in development. They also have a deal with Medtronic to develop insulin for new pumps. This insulin isn't yet approved, it's 5 times stronger than standard fast acting  it's hoped that a clinical study will begin next year. Arecor says its insulin could potentially be the only option capable of enabling and catalyzing the next generation of longer-wear and miniaturized automated insulin delivery systems.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/sequel-arecor-develop-rapid-insulin-twiist/ XX Tandem Diabetes Care announes its t:slim X2™ insulin pump with Control-IQ+ automated insulin delivery (AID) technology is now cleared for use with Eli Lilly and Company's Lyumjev® (insulin lispro-aabc injection) ultra-rapid acting insulin in the United States (U.S.).   – The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ+ technology is now cleared for use with Lyumjev for people with type 1 diabetes ages 2 and above and all adults with type 2 diabetes. The companies are continuing to work toward securing Lyumjev compatibility for the Tandem Mobi pump. https://hitconsultant.net/2025/09/29/tandem-diabetes-cares-tslim-x2-pump-cleared-for-use-with-lillys-ultra-rapid-lyumjev-insulin/ XX You can now place your order for the MiniMed™ 780G system with the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott. And if you are already a MiniMed 780G user, you can place an upgrade order today. ​This is a 15 day wear sensor, with no transmitter or overtape required. It looks the same at other Abbot sensors such as the Libre but is proprietary to Medtronic. Shipments are scheduled to start in November.   ​ https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/medtronic-launches-minimed-780g-instinct-abbott/   XX The global type 1 diabetes (T1D) burden continues to increase rapidly driven by rising cases, ageing populations, improved diagnosis and falling death rates. ,   The study estimates that T1D will affect 9.5 million people globally in 2025 (up by 13% since 2021), and this number is predicted to rise to 14.7 million in 2040. However, due to lack of diagnosis and challenges in collecting sufficient data, the actual number of individuals living with T1D is likely much higher, researchers say.   In fact, they estimate that there are an additional 4.1 million 'missing people' who would have been alive in 2025 if they hadn't died prematurely from poor T1D care, including an estimated 669,000 who were not diagnosed. This is particularly true in India, where an estimated 159,000 people thought to have died from missed diagnoses. The study predicts that 513,000 new cases of T1D will be diagnosed worldwide in 2025, of which 43% (222,000) will be people younger than 20 years old. Finland is projected to have the highest incidence of T1D in children aged 0-14 years in 2025 at around 64 cases per 100,000. The substantial increases in T1D forecasts between 2025 and 2040 underscore the urgent need for action. As co-author Renza Scibilia from Breakthrough T1D explains, "Early diagnosis, access to insulin and diabetes supplies, and proper healthcare can bring enormous benefits, with the potential to save millions of lives in the coming decades by ensuring universal access to insulin and improving the rate of diagnosis in all countries."   The authors note some important limitations to their estimates, including that while the analysis uses the best available data, predictions are constrained by the lack of accurate data in most countries-highlighting the urgent need for increased surveillance and research. They also note that data on misdiagnosis and adult populations remain limited, and the analysis assumes constant age-specific incidence and mortality over time. Furthermore, incidence data from the COVID-19 period were excluded from part of the modelling to avoid bias. Future updates are expected to improve as new data become available and applied. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250919/New-study-warns-of-millions-of-undiagnosed-and-missing-people-with-type-1-diabetes.aspx XX A new study has found that semaglutide — the active ingredient found in some GLP-1 medications prescribed for diabetes and to aid weight loss — may help protect the eyes from diabetic retinopathy. Researchers estimate that as much as 40% of all people with diabetes also have diabetic retinopathy — a potentially blinding eye condition caused by blood vessel damage in the eye's retina. There is currently no cure for diabetic retinopathy. The condition is often managed through injections of anti-VEGF medications into the eye, surgery, and blood sugar monitoring and control. For this lab-based study, researchers used samples of human retinal endothelial cells that were treated with different concentrations of semaglutide. The cells were then placed in a solution with both a high glucose level and high level of oxidative stress — where there is an imbalance of antioxidants and free radicals — for 24 hours.   Past studies show that oxidative stress plays a role in the formation of diabetic retinopathy.   At the study's conclusion, researchers found that the retinal cells treated with semaglutide were twice as likely to survive than cells that were untreated. Additionally, the treated cells were found to have larger stores of energy.   Scientists also found that three markers of diabetic retinopathy were decreased in the semaglutide-treated retinal cells. First, the levels of apoptosis — a form of cell death — decreased from about 50% in untreated cells to about 10% in semaglutide-treated cells. The production of the free radical mitochondrial superoxide decreased from about 90% to about 10% in the treated retinal cells.   Researchers also found the amount of advanced glycation end-products — harmful compounds that can collect in people with diabetes and are known to cause oxidative stress — also decreased substantially.   Lastly, scientists reported that the genes involved in the production of antioxidants were more active in the semaglutide-treated cells when compared to untreated cells. Researchers believe this is a sign that semaglutide may help repair damage to the retinal cells.   “Our study did not find that these drugs harmed the retinal cells in any way — instead, it suggests that GLP1-receptor agonists protect against diabetic retinopathy, particularly in the early stages,” Ioanna Anastasiou, PhD, molecular biologist and postdoctoral researcher at the National and Kapodistrian University in Greece, and lead author of this study, said in a press release.   “Excitingly, these drugs may be able to repair damage that has already been done and so improve sight. Clinical trials are now needed to confirm these protective effects in patients and explore whether GLP-1 receptor agonists can slow, or even halt, the progression of this vision-robbing condition.” https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/ozempic-semaglutide-may-help-protect-against-diabetes-related-blindness-retinopathy   XX Biolinq has received De Novo Classification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its lead product, Biolinq Shine, a patch on the forearm that provides real-time glucose feedback through a primary color-coded LED display, visible with or without a phone. This one is tricky – it's called a needle free CGM but it also says it uses micro needles. By the way, De Novo isn't exactly the same as what we think of for FDA approval for medical devices. It's not as rigorous but it's a streamlined route for novel, low to moderate risk devices with no existing equivalent. We'll see how this one turns out. https://www.hmenews.com/article/biolinq-s-multi-function-biosensor-receives-fda-de-novo-classification

When I spoke with Scott Richler, co-founder of Gabriel Scott, I quickly realized his design journey wasn't linear but layered. With a background in architecture, jewelry and fashion Scott brings that same sense of structure and detail into furniture and lighting design. He explained how the precision of jewelry—where every small move influences the whole—mirrors his architectural training, allowing him to think critically on both macro and micro scales. Lighting was a major theme. Scott and I discussed how LED technology has completely shifted design possibilities, freeing designers from the limitations of older systems. No longer about blasting a room with light, the new approach is about using illumination strategically—whether it's enhancing a hospitality experience or subtly shaping a residential atmosphere. We also tackled the often-overused labels in design—“modern,” “traditional,” and everything in between. Scott pushed back on the idea of rigid categories, noting that Gabriel Scott's pieces live comfortably in both sleek penthouses and classic homes. The goal, he said, is timeless versatility, not chasing a label. Scott also opened up about his creative process. His team of artisans develops intricate parts that are refined enough to feel bespoke but adaptable enough to be assembled by everyday people—a kind of design language built for universal assembly. It's jewelry thinking applied to lighting and furniture. Of course, no conversation about product design is complete without addressing knockoffs. Scott acknowledged the frustration of seeing his work duplicated but emphasized the importance of strong contracts, local representation, and participating in trade shows like Milan Design Week to establish authenticity. We wrapped up talking the Triforium project in Los Angeles, reflecting on how lighting has evolved from mechanical systems in the 1970s to today's AI-driven adaptability. For Scott, it's less about chasing technology for its own sake, and more about how design—whether jewelry, furniture, or lighting—creates lasting experiences.  Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home.

And that is where I lost the connection with Scott. He was in Ibiza. And the WI-FI dropped, so I thought it would be fun to conclude this conversation with a brief chat with the founders of the Triforium Project. YACHT, Experimental Pop, and Reimagining the Triforium The Los Angeles-based band YACHT (Young Americans Challenging High Technology) has built its reputation on pushing the boundaries of music, technology, and performance art. Founded by Jona Bechtolt and later joined by Claire L. Evans, YACHT blends electronic pop, punk energy, and conceptual art into a body of work that often doubles as cultural critique. With albums like See Mystery Lights and Chain Tripping—the latter created with the help of AI-generated lyrics and sounds—the band has consistently explored the edges of where music meets innovation. One of their most intriguing projects is their involvement with the Triforium, a massive 1970s public art installation in downtown Los Angeles. Originally envisioned as a “polyphonoptic” sculpture, the Triforium contains 1,494 glass prisms designed to light up in sync with computer-generated music. Despite its futuristic ambitions, technical limitations of the era kept the piece from reaching its full potential, and it was largely dismissed as a failed experiment in civic art. Enter YACHT. Alongside a group of artists and technologists, the band helped spearhead efforts to restore and reinterpret the Triforium for a new generation. They worked on updating its outdated systems with modern technology,

Today's edition is sponsored by the Ragged Mountain Running and Walking ShopSeptember 30 is the final day of the federal fiscal New Year and one version of today's Charlottesville Community Engagement could perhaps have been about how this region might be affected by a federal shutdown. Each edition of this newsletter could be a lot of different things, but what gets selected is usually a matter of what is available for me to write.I'm Sean Tubbs and for a story on the looming shutdown, I refer you to the Virginia Political Newsletter by my colleague Brandon Jarvis.In today's installment:* Albemarle Supervisors have endorsed their legislative priorities for the 2026 General Assembly while Charlottesville City Council is still working on theirs* Jaunt turns 50 this year and is seeking stories from riders* Albemarle Supervisors get a progress report on climate action initiatives including where $522K in spending will go this fiscal yearThanks for reading Charlottesville Community Engagement ! This post is public so feel free to share it.First shout-out: A Week Without DrivingHow different would your life be if you didn't have a car? From Monday, September 29 to Sunday October 5, Livable Cville invites you to join the local Week Without Driving experience. The goal is to learn more about barriers and challenges that nondrivers face in our community and to reflect on the challenges you would face as a full-time non-driver.There are many reasons why people do not drive, including people with disabilities, youth, seniors and those who can't afford vehicles or gas. A third of people living in the United States do not have a driver's license, but are forced to navigate a mobility system designed almost exclusively for drivers.Livable Cville expects the Week Without Driving experience will help participants better appreciate the challenges and barriers they face. For more information and to register your participation, please visit: https://livablecville.org/weekwithoutdrivingLocal elected officials preparing for 2026 General AssemblyThere are over a hundred days left until the 2026 session of the Virginia General Assembly and less than two months until legislators can begin to pre-file bills.Across Virginia, localities are determining what priorities they would like to see turned into legislation.At their meeting on September 15, Charlottesville City Council went through a long list of suggestions from the Planning Commission, the Human Rights Commission, and the Office of Sustainability.“Energy prices are going up,” said Kristel Riddervold, the city's sustainability director. “Legislative priorities related to expanding distributed energy, meaning solar, all over the place in different ways.”Riddervold said city priorities are for the Virginia General Assembly to maintain the 2020 Virginia Clean Economy Act, full funding for the Virginia Clean Energy Innovation Bank, and reform of rules for construction of data centers. You can see the full list here.The Human Rights Commission submitted a three page list including a request for legislation for expanded rights for those who rent, a request for localities to have right of first refusal to purchase supported housing units, and a $60 million state fund for housing assistance to support 5,000 families. Another legislative request is to require all Virginia localities to maintain a public homeless shelter. You can view this list here.Vice Mayor Brian Pinkston said many of those ideas seem very aspirational and may not take into account political realities.“The one that says here, ‘require that each county and city in Virginia maintain a public overnight homeless shelter or fund a private equivalent,'” Pinkston said. “I mean, that would be lovely because we're, we're doing this. I have a sense for neighboring counties and communities, the work that we're doing here. But does that have any hope of being passed?””City Councilor Michael Payne said many of the Human Rights Commission's requests are part of statewide efforts and many of the aspirations could get through depending on who holds the majority in 2026.“There definitely [are] some that potentially I think really could get passed this year, including like the 5,000 family funds or first right of refusal, but for example, the homeless shelter one you mentioned. I mean, I would feel. I think we could all feel confident saying there's no chance that passes this year.”The Planning Commission submitted a list of 15 potential pieces of legislation. The first addresses the section of state code that is at the heart of the lawsuit against the city's zoning code. Number six is a reintroduction of failed legislation that would allow localities to tax land and improvements at different rates. (view the list)Council will have a further discussion on October 6 before adopting their legislative agenda on October 20.The Albemarle Board of Supervisors is a little further ahead and had the third of three work sessions at their meeting on September 17. Albemarle has four legislative priorities, three of which would involve legislation and the fourth being a budget amendment.“First, we're seeking as a priority enabling localities to enforce the Virginia Landlord Tenant Act,” said County Attorney Andy Herrick. “We're also carrying over from past years expanding the authority to use photo speed monitoring devices.Currently those are limited to road construction work zones and school zones and Albemarle wants to be able to use them on rural roads. Albemarle also wants the General Assembly to try again on legislation to allow localities to hold a referendum on whether to levy a one cent sales tax to fund school construction.“This is an initiative that has been sought in prior years, that's passed the Assembly and been vetoed by the Governor in the past two years,” Herrick said.The budget amendment relates to another item Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed this year. The legislature's version of the budget had funding for a connector trail to connect Biscuit Run Park with the Monacon Indian Nation Tribute.Supervisors adopted their legislative priorities and the next step is to schedule a meeting with area legislators.To learn more about some of the statewide issues, read this story in the Virginia Mercury from Charlotte Rene Woods.Jaunt turns 50 this year and seeks travel storiesAs the Week Without Driving continues, one way people participating might get around is public transit. In addition to Charlottesville Area Transit, the region is served by Jaunt, a public service corporation that formed in 1975.To celebrate, Jaunt is asking people to submit their stories of using the service.“As we look back on 50 years of service, we know the most important part of Jaunt's story is the people we serve,” said Mike Murphy, Jaunt's Chief Executive Officer. “Our mission has always been rooted in community, care, and connection—and this anniversary is about celebrating the ways Jaunt has supported essential regional needs for mobility across generations.”Jaunt was created as Jefferson Area United Transportation but the acronym became the official name in 1983.Have a story from that time? Tell Jaunt at the website they've created.Second shout-out: Five Things ReLeaf has done recently!Time for a subscriber-supported shout-out, this time for ReLeaf Cville!* On April 21, ReLeaf Cville celebrated Arbor Day 2025 by talking with 40 fourth grade students at Greenbrier Elementary about the importance of urban tree canopy, and then planting a tree on the preschool playground* On April 25, the Van Yahres Tree Company donated time and energy to provide tree care to 45 trees ReLeaf planted in the Rose Hill Neighborhood, Fall 2023* On May 10 at RiverFest, Green Team members Moos and Antony joined Keith Pitchford, Board vice-chair, and Cathy Boyd, Executive Director, in providing information about ReLeaf Cville and playing Tree Bingo* In May, C-Ville Weekly profiled ReLeaf Cville's efforts to help homeowners turn their yards into leafy oases - and cool their neighborhoods.* The fourth annual Green Team session took place this week and was designed to equip rising 9th-12th graders in tree knowledge and tree care skills, this year's schedule includes sessions co-led by the Rivanna Conservation Alliance, Van Yahres Tree Company, Master Naturalists, Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards, Community Climate Collaborative, and Steve Gaines, Charlottesville's Urban Forester.Albemarle Supervisors briefed on Climate Action programs, $522K in FY2026 spendingFor the past eight years, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors has been in support of efforts to monitor greenhouse gas emissions as part of an international bid to keep global temperatures from rising. For six years, though, a different set of elected officials opted out of the program.On September 17, 2025, the six elected officials got a briefing from staff on county and regional efforts to reduce emissions and adapt to a world of higher temperatures and more volatile storms. They were also briefed on how staff plans to use $300,000 the Board dedicated to the issue at the end of the FY2026 budget process as I reported at the time.Resources:* 44-page progress report from Albemarle staff* Slide presentation from the briefingBut first, some recent history.Recent historyIn June 1998, local leaders signed a document called the Sustainability Accords, a series of statements intended to solidify the work of several environmental groups working in the area. While climate action itself was not mentioned, the document called for the development of “attractive and economical transportation alternatives to single occupancy vehicle use” and called for the promotion of “conserv[e]ation and efficient use of energy resources.”In December 2007, Albemarle Supervisors voted to adopt a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80 percent by the year 2050. At the time, Supervisor Ken Boyd voted for the “Cool Counties” initiative though he expressed concern about the potential impacts. (read a story I wrote then)In the years that followed, a group called the Jefferson Area Tea Party raised concerns about both the resolution and the county's membership in the International Council for Sustainability. The ICLEI group provided resources to measure greenhouse gas reductions and Boyd sought to end participation“We are being infiltrated in local government by an agenda that is set by this international organization,” Boyd said in early May 2011 as I reported at the time. “I think it's now a cancer that is infiltrating our local government here.”By that time, two other Republicans had joined the Board of Supervisors giving Boyd votes he needed to change direction. Democrat Lindsay Dorrier Jr. was a swing vote.Lane Auditorium was packed on the night of June 8, 2011 with some in the crowd defending sustainability efforts and continued participation in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Members of the Tea Party claimed that civil liberties were being threatened.At the end of the meeting, Supervisors voted 4-2 to end participation in ICLEI as I reported at the time. Three months later, they ended participation in Cool Counties as reported in the Charlottesville Daily Progress.However, the Republican majority would come to an end in 2013 after Democratic candidates defeated Duane Snow in the Samuel Miller District and Rodney Thomas in the Rio District.Back on the jobIn September 2017, Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution to “support local actions to reduce climate pollution.”“In October 2019, the Board adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement,” said Jamie Powers, a county employee since 2023 who is now Albemarle's Climate Program Manager. “The next year, October 2020, the board adopted the Climate Action Plan and stood up the Climate Action Program to implement that plan and help get the community's emissions down in line with the board's targets.”The targets now call for a 45 percent in emissions reductions from 2008 levels by 2030 and to be carbon-free by 2050.Powers said emissions continue to climb across the world and the effects of climate change are here now as a present crisis rather than one for the future to deal with.“The impacts are generally going to be worse over time and increasingly unpredictable unless we can get global emissions under control,” Powers said. “And we do have a role to play locally.”Albemarle's reduction targets are in line with the Paris Agreement which set a framework to reduce emissions so that the increase in global warming could be kept below 2 degrees Celsius. The increase is now at 1.5 degrees.Powers said climate change itself is not the underlying problem.“It is a symptom of a set of problems,” Powers said. “This socioeconomic system that we have, it works exactly as designed and it brings us to a climate crisis and a biodiversity crisis and all these sorts of things. So if we are going to effectively address the climate crisis, we need to take a look at our systems and address things appropriately.”The models used by Albemarle and other local governments are complex and conform to the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories. These are put together by ICLEI and emissions come from many source sectors.“The major sectors of emissions are transportation, stationary energy, and that includes solar,” said Greg Harper, Albemarle's chief of environmental services. “That would be kind of like reducing that stationary energy. Ag force and land use is a smaller contributor and then waste as well.”Albemarle resumed doing inventories in 2018 and Harper said emission levels dropped during COVID but increased for 2022. Data is about two years behind. Harper said reductions can be decreased many ways, such as if many groups can work together to reduce a metric known as “vehicle miles traveled.”“We don't want to stop activity in the county, obviously, but we want to shift people from driving a car by themselves to taking mass transportation, getting on their bicycle for smaller commutes,” Harper said.Powers said Albemarle has been active in many ways to encourage reductions such as supporting home energy improvements, providing “climate action activity kits” through a nonprofit, installing electric vehicle chargers, and creation of the Energy Resource Hub.Albemarle also provided several grants including $20,000 for the International Rescue Committee's New Roots farming program to allow them to electrify equipment and improve their agricultural practices.“If we break down some of the things that they were doing from their composting practice, we calculated that about 25 tons of carbon dioxide is sequestered by them using the composting practices,” Powers said. “About 5 tons of avoided emissions by removing synthetic fertilizers from their operations.”All told, Powers said about 38 tons of carbon dioxide emissions were prevented.Albemarle County is also collaborating with the City of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia on the Resilient Together initiative which seeks to create a resilience plan to adapt to a different weather pattern. That will come before the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors in early 2026.FY2026 fundingPowers also outlined a recommendation of how Albemarle might put that $300,000 to use, as well as another $222,000 in carry over funds for climate action.“The Board made it clear we wanted to emphasize projects that are going to get the most value in terms of emission reductions in FY26,” Powers said.The Residential Energy Improvements line item is intended to assist property owners with lower incomes and that $237,000 does not include another $150,000 the county received through the federal Community Development Block Grant program.“A lot of times, especially in low income households, energy is going out the window, literally,” Powers said. “And so how can we help those folks tighten up their envelopes so when they're turning the AC or the heat on, it's still staying in the home instead of heading out the window.”The Local Energy Alliance Partnership (LEAP) and the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) are partners on that project. Powers said the goal will be to reach up to 50 homes, decreasing emissions classified as “stationary” energy. He estimates the return on investment will be about $3,000 per ton of emissions prevented.Another $100,000 will be spent on energy efficiency in county-owned buildings.“Most likely implementation looks like LED installation, LED fixture installation, likely at two different buildings,” Powers said. “If we transition the equivalent of the space of Northside Library to those fixtures, we would reduce again in that stationary energy category, one of those four categories by 0.03 at $700 per ton and annually that'd be a 143 ton reduction.”Albemarle funded the Energy Resource Hub in FY2025 at the $100,000 level and an additional $63,000 for this year. This is a program that helps homeowners find rebates and other incentives.Partners have not yet been found for the Climate Action Collaboration initiative.For previous coverage on climate action issues, visit Information Charlottesville.Reading material for September 30, 2025* Whistleblowers accuse HUD of ‘systematically undermining' fair housing laws, Ryan Kushner, Multifamily Dive, September 25, 2025* HUD cuts multifamily mortgage insurance premiums, Julie Strupp, Multifamily Dive, September 26, 2025* Albemarle County to consider delay on data center ordinance, Jenette Hastings, WVIR 29NBC, September 28, 2025* Watershed mapping project shows rapid loss of forests, offers new view of Va.'s changing landscapes, Evan Visconti, September 29, 2025* Charlottesville's schools are old.

Something is off but my job is to bring people information. I picked up four new paid subscribers since posting the May 2025 transactions, and it is important to get out what I can.The story I wanted to tell today was an accounting of yesterday's traffic congestion caused by a truck hitting a bridge under construction that carries Old Ivy Road over the U.S. 250. I lack the resources to get such a story together but I have questions about whether such an incident is covered by emergency management officials in the area.There are so many stories I want to tell, and sometimes the best I can do is link to other people's coverage. Here's a story from VPM. Here's one from 29NBC News. Here's another from CBS19. How about Cville Right Now?There is a lot of rhetoric about climate action and moving people out of automobiles. Is any of it having any effect? Are fewer people driving alone? How many people are paying attention to this issue? What is the community supposed to do when a major highway is shuttered for hours? Are we all so endless trapped in a news cycle that solutions remain elusive, situations remain intractable?I don't have the answer but I know I want to be part of an information ecosystem that seeks to do better than what we have at the moment with a series of wicked problems that are difficult to solve in this era of fragmentation.So what's today's ending?

“N” is for Nullification. The passage of the federal tariff law of 1828 signaled the rise of the nullification controversy in South Carolina. Led by John C. Calhoun a majority of South Carolinians eventually came to assert that a state had the right to nullify or veto federal laws and secede from the union.

In this powerful message from Mark 8:22–26, Pastor Jason Daughdrill unpacks the story of the blind man who experienced healing in stages. Sometimes God works instantly, but often He works progressively—reminding us that sanctification is a process, not just a moment.If you've ever felt stuck, blurry, or waiting for clarity, this message will encourage you to stay close to Jesus. He always finishes what He starts (Philippians 1:6).

Interview with George Bennett, CEO of Rainbow Rare EarthsRecording date: 26th September 2025Rainbow Rare Earths (LSE:RBW) is pioneering a revolutionary approach to rare earth element extraction that addresses both economic efficiency and Western supply chain independence. Led by CEO George Bennett, a seasoned executive with 16 years of investment banking experience and a proven track record of scaling mining operations, the company extracts valuable rare earth materials from phosphogypsum waste rather than traditional hard rock mining.The company's proprietary technology eliminates conventional mining costs including drilling, blasting, and crushing operations, resulting in projected EBITDA margins exceeding 75% and internal rates of return between 45-50%. "We've got no mining costs, we are extracting the RE out of phosphogypsum which is a waste residue," Bennett explains, highlighting the fundamental cost advantage over traditional rare earth projects.Rainbow operates two strategic assets: the flagship Phalaborwa project in South Africa, where the company holds 85% ownership with 35 million tons of high-grade material, and the Uberaba project in Brazil through a 50/50 joint venture with Mosaic, a $15 billion fertilizer company. Both projects leverage existing brownfield infrastructure and provide environmental benefits through waste remediation.The company has secured significant validation through a $50 million equity commitment from the US Development Finance Corporation, positioning the US government as a future project shareholder. This strategic backing, combined with recent floor pricing of $110/kg for neodymium and praseodymium established by MP Materials' Department of Defense contract, provides crucial market stability for Rainbow's revenue streams.With total capital requirements of $300 million and production targeted for 2027-2028, Rainbow is positioned to capitalize on surging demand from electric vehicles, defense applications, and the emerging robotics sector. The company addresses critical Western supply chain vulnerabilities while China controls 95% of global rare earth processing capacity, making Rainbow a compelling investment in the transition toward strategic mineral independence.View Rainbow Rare Earths' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/rainbow-rare-earthsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Zdravo. Tokrat mimo betona in štange skočimo do ideje o naši stolpnici v Londonu z velikim sijočim napisom na vrhu, Aljo se spomni na velike ognjene črke nad Innsbruckom (Innsbruck, pripravi bencin in hlode, ali pa LED-trak, odvisno od regulacij). Množični turizem mora postati bolj trajnosten in to bo za nas storil kapitalizem. To se bo zgodilo takrat, ko bo vse tako drago, da nihče od nas ne bo mogel več nikamor! Mi se vrnemo k knjigi, ekipa je v zraku, najprej morajo prileteti do Labuan Baja, a se zdi, da se vozijo z letali Air Uganda. Polovica kabinskih merilnikov ne dela - kar je super, ker imata pilota polovico manj skrbi, kaj bi lahko šlo narobe. Zabavajo nas tudi letališki terminali (kolibe), pristanki in prtljaga. Še ena epizoda polna potopisnega kaosa, Douglasovega humorja in naših nebuloz.

In today's sermon, our Global Lead Pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, begins a new teaching series titled “Serpents and Doves.”He first emphasizes the importance of valuing wisdom-filled messages that God sends to His church. Every sermon is not just about the power dimension but also about God's wisdom. The Word of God is life-giving and directional. Wisdom is as critical as anointing, favour, and relationships for fulfilling destiny. Jesus Himself required four things to fulfill His earthly assignment:• The Anointing• Favour with God and man• Men (relationships)• WisdomIf Jesus needed these, so do we. Without wisdom, power alone will leave a believer frustrated and vulnerable.Matthew 10:16 says, “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” Pastor Shola highlights that believers are sheep, dependent on the Shepherd, often defenseless on their own. The world system is full of wolves; predatory, political, manipulative. Our survival and success strategy is to combine:• The wisdom of the serpent (shrewdness, observation, strategy, timing)•The innocence of the dove (purity, gentleness, integrity)Wisdom is profitable to direct (Proverbs 4:7). Spirituality without wisdom equals irrelevance. God designed the earth to run by rules; ignoring them is not faith, but negligence. Shrewdness is not sin when guided by purity; it is maturity. Believers are called to do the Lord's work in the devil's playground and must therefore master both spiritual power and practical wisdom.Sheep are described as:• Led by shepherds• Defenseless• Easily frightened• Having sharp hearing and seeing• Intelligent with strong memory• Emotionally complexSerpents are known for moving with wisdom, being hard to predict, and operating with timing and strategy. Doves are gentle, pure, and upright in dealings.Practical lessons Pastor Shola highlighted include:• In career and business, believers must understand that politics and negotiation are part of the system of the earth. • In relationships and marriage, wisdom is needed with in-laws, especially during wedding preparations. Do not overshare or plant seeds of animosity. He also stressed that joint accounts are not a biblical command; every couple must choose the financial structure that truly works for them. Loyalty in partnerships or friendships must be mutual, not one-sided.• In decision-making, it is not enough to say “God told me.” Every decision should be tested against the Word of God and weighed by trusted, seasoned counselors who can serve as circuit breakers to help with timing, placement, and seasons.Key scriptures include Proverbs 1:5, which says a wise man will hear and increase learning, Luke 16:8, which says the children of this world are often more shrewd than the children of light, Exodus 4:2–4 where Moses' rod becomes a serpent showing that God's wisdom must swallow worldly wisdom, and Proverbs 30:18–19 which speaks of the way of a serpent on a rock as representing wisdom in movement.In concluding the sermon, Pastor Shola highlights that you will not survive earth's wolf systems with innocence alone, you need serpent-level wisdom. Innocence without wisdom leads to casualty.

In this video, our father, Dr. Kay Ijisesan teaches that humility is key to walking in divine purpose. He stresses that some people are placed in your grace space, and it takes both humility and alignment to tap into what God has prepared through them.There are times when you must cut off distractions and pull away from obsessions. He further indicated that there is a purpose over your life, and you cannot afford to blow it.To fully step into that purpose, you need to build the capacity of faithfulness. Faithfulness enlarges your capacity so that God can entrust you with more.This is a season of favour, but it is not favour without meaning. It is favour with a purpose.As 2 Corinthians 5:21 declares, we are ambassadors of Christ. Your purpose is always bigger than your personal existence.Dr. Kay concludes the preaching by indicating that humility opens the door, faithfulness sustains the journey, and alignment positions you for divine purpose.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious. Led by Pst. Shola Okodugha, we are on a divine assignment to equip and raise men; to release people from strongholds that have stifled them from taking their rightful places, and to give young people an avenue for their God-given gifts to find expression.OUR CREED"As sure as God helps us,We will not give upWe will not cave inWe will not quitWe will not failWe will not dieUntil our job is doneAnd victory is won"——CHAPTERS:0:00 - 4:17 - Intro4:18 - 16:22 - Pre-Service chat16:23 - 19:49 - Call to worship19:50 - 25:13 - Prayer session25:14 - 51:32 - Praise and worship51:33 - 1:04:09 - Fireside chat (NXTCON'25)1:04:10 - 1:08:11 - Announcement/Dr. Kay's Welcome1:08:12 - 2:07:38 - The Word2:07:39 - 2:15:08 - Prayers/Prophetic declarations with PS2:15:09 - 2:22:09 - Tithes and offerings2:22:10 - 2:31:56 - Announcement/First Timers' Welcome2:31:57 - 2:38:11 - Announcement2:38:12 - 2:45:06 - The Creed2:45:07 - 2:47:20 - After service chat2:47:21 - 2:49:40 - Outro——BROADCAST DETAILSMinister: Pastor Shola OkodughaDate: Sunday, September 28, 2025——Stay ConnectedSubscribe to the latest content: http://bit.ly/subscribethenewliveWebsite: http://wearethenew.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wearethenew_global/#TheNewLive #SholaOkodugha

Un episodio muy de barra y tornillo: risas, confesiones y un repaso a la semana Apple con tono cercano y sin dogmas. Arrancan recordando que el podcast es entretenimiento tech (no una clase magistral) y se nota: iPhone 17 Pro Max que casi cae en la reserva, AirPods Pro 3 agotadísimos, bromas con India/China y fabricación, y el eterno “¿seguimos siendo el target de Apple?” mientras la alternativa tampoco enamora.En clave software, comentan el empujón de Apple a la IA (ese Foundation Models Framework para integrarla en apps), el salto forzado a Xcode 26, y las actualizaciones iOS/iPadOS 26.0.1 y watchOS para arreglar Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, fotos y VoiceOver: conclusión práctica—actualiza, insensato. También hubo caída de servicios (iCloud, Apple Music…), ya resuelta.En noticias y cultura pop: el troleo de KitKat al iPhone 17 Pro arrasa en redes; tráiler de “Down 70 Road” (Apple TV+) supera el millón de views; y se cita la cancelación de “Savant” con Jessica Chastain. Todo sazonado con la DMA de la UE, que abre pagos alternativos y obliga a cambios en App Store antes de fin de año. Hardware a la vista: rumores de nuevos monitores mini-LED (90/120 Hz) y repaso express de precios de Studio Display y Pro Display XDR. Entre herramientas, tips que valen oro: cómo escanear documentos con Notas (menú contextual, recorte, filtros y exportar a PDF) y el eterno debate Notas vs Notion vs Ulysses (más Omnifocus para GTD). Además, jugueteo con Raspberry Pi Zero para proyectos DIY de radio y hogar.Cierre con autocrítica y comunidad: agradecen feedback (incluida una reseña dura) y proponen encuesta en Telegram para orientar próximos monográficos (p. ej., Notas vs Notion).

There's a big myth in whitening that only “photosensitive” gels actually work with an LED light — and if your gel doesn't have a photo initiator, your light is just for show. Let's science behind peroxide activation, and why the “photosensitive gel” label is more marketing than truth. 00:00 – Intro: Truth or Trend: Are photosensitive gels the only gels that work with an LED? 00:55 – The myth explained: LED is useless without a “photosensitive” gel 01:20 – The science: Peroxide gels (hydrogen + carbamide) and how they oxidize stains 01:55 – Chromophore theory: Free radicals + reactive oxygen species doing the real work 02:44 – Blue spectrum LED: Why light/heat accelerates peroxide breakdown 03:01 – Photo initiators explained: Titanium dioxide as the common additive 03:40 – Marketing gimmick: Why companies push the “photosensitive only” message 04:20 – The truth: Peroxide reacts to LED with or without a photo initiator 05:00 – Recap + final verdict: ❌ You don't need a “special photosensitive gel” for LEDs to work ✅ All peroxide-based gels accelerate under light/heat energy 05:45 – Final mic-drop: Your LED is there to help accelerate oxidation, not to complete it — don't fall for the photosensitive gimmick.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 26 septembre 2025.Avec cette semaine :Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.François Bujon de l'Estang, ambassadeur de France.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Lucile Schmid, présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.L'ASSASSINAT DE KIRK ET LES TENTATIONS ILLIBÉRALES AUX ETATS-UNISLe meurtre par balle de Charlie Kirk, l'influenceur de la galaxie Maga lors d'un meeting dans l'Utah aux États-Unis le 10 septembre, pourrait débrider davantage une violence politique déjà bien ancrée. Trump et ses ministres se disent prêts à limiter le Premier amendement et à déclencher une chasse aux sorcières. Avant même l'arrestation d'un suspect, Donald Trump avait accusé « la gauche extrémiste » d'être responsable de l'attentat, mais également les médias critiques et les démocrates. Le président et ses alliés visent aussi les organisations de gauche accusées de « fomenter » la rébellion, comme la Ford Foundation et The Open Society Foundations du milliardaire George Soros, bête noire des conservateurs. L'administration envisage de supprimer leurs exemptions fiscales. Le Département d'Etat, de son côté, tente d'identifier tout étranger qui a « glorifié, rationalisé, ou fait peu de cas » du meurtre de Charlie Kirk pour révoquer son visa. L'administration américaine menace de réduire la durée des visas des journalistes étrangers et le Pentagone vient d'annoncer que les reporters qui couvrent la Défense devront s'engager à ne publier que des informations approuvées par les militaires, sous peine de perdre leur accréditation. Certains républicains œuvrent à une campagne de délation nationale encouragée par le vice-président J.D. Vance qui a déclaré : « Démasquez-les et allez-y, appelez leur employeur ». Des centaines d'employés dans des ministères, des cabinets d'avocats, des compagnies aériennes, ainsi que des dizaines d'enseignants font l'objet d'enquêtes disciplinaires ou ont été limogés pour leurs commentaires « insensibles » et « inappropriés » sur les réseaux sociaux. Lundi, au lendemain d'une cérémonie ayant rassemblé des dizaines de milliers de personnes en hommage à l'influenceur Maga, Donald Trump a signé un décret classant officiellement comme une « organisation terroriste » le mouvement « Antifa ». Il s'agit d'une première puisque les Etats-Unis n'ont à ce jour aucune liste d'« organisations terroristes nationales ».En 2023 déjà, 48% des Américains reconnaissaient s'auto-censurer en raison du climat politique, selon une étude de l'université de Saint Louis. Pendant la Peur rouge des années 1950, ils ne représentaient que 13,4%. De quoi antagoniser un peu plus la vie politique aux États-Unis. Les étudiants, qui ont grandi pendant le premier mandat de Donald Trump, n'ont pratiquement connu que ce climat de tension politique. Selon un très récent sondage de la Fondation pour les droits individuels et d'expression (FIRE), un tiers de cette génération estime que la violence peut être une réponse légitime pour s'opposer à un interlocuteur public.LA NOUVELLE CALÉDONIE, APRÈS LES ACCORDS DE BOUGIVALAprès les accords de Matignon de 1988, puis ceux de Nouméa de 1998, dont l'issue heurtée avait plongé la Nouvelle-Calédonie dans la violence au printemps 2024, un nouvel accord obtenu par le ministre des Outre-mer Manuel Valls a été signé à Bougival, dans les Yvelines, le 12 juillet dernier, entre les indépendantistes, qui demandent l'autonomie de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, et les loyalistes, qui désirent le maintien de l'archipel dans la République française. L'Accord de Bougival prévoit la création d'un État de Nouvelle-Calédonie dans la Constitution française, qui jouira de la compétence de relations internationales « dans le respect des engagements internationaux et des intérêts de la France » (sécurité, défense et intérêts vitaux). Il crée une nationalité calédonienne, et donc une double nationalité, puisque les nouveaux nationaux Calédoniens auront aussi la nationalité française. Enfin, il formalise un éventuel processus de transfert des compétences régaliennes – la justice, l'ordre public, la défense et la monnaie, assujetti à un vote à la majorité qualifiée des trois cinquièmes du congrès, et à sa validation ensuite par un référendum.Toutefois, les indépendantistes du Front de libération nationale kanak et socialiste (FLNKS) ont annoncé début août le « rejet total et sans ambiguïté » de ce texte considéré comme « incompatible avec le droit à l'autodétermination» et « porteur d'une logique de recolonisation ». Une décision jugée « incompréhensible » par Manuel Valls, qui vient d'installer à Nouméa le « comité de rédaction » chargé de traduire l'accord, tout en invitant le FLNKS à « poursuivre la discussion » avec l'Etat et les autres signataires. Si cette opposition frontale de l'Union calédonienne-Front nationaliste calédonien confirme et clarifie la fragmentation préexistante au sein de la mouvance indépendantiste, la question de la viabilité de cet accord se pose avec acuité.Le durcissement des indépendantistes les plus radicaux fait craindre de nouvelles exactions à une partie de la population, traumatisée par la flambée de violences de mai 2024, à la suite du projet de réforme constitutionnelle visant à élargir le corps électoral. La mort de douze civils et de deux gendarmes a depuis exacerbé les divisions ethniques au sein de la société calédonienne. Ces émeutes ont également dévasté une économie déjà très fragile, conduisant à la destruction de 500 entreprises et occasionnant pour 2 milliards d'euros de dégâts. Chaque année, l'Etat investit en Nouvelle-Calédonie sous forme de dotations et de rémunérations à hauteur de 1,4 milliard d'euros. En 2024 et en 2025, ces sommes ont été doublées, atteignant 3 milliards d'euros par an. Toutefois, l'économie souffre en Nouvelle-Calédonie : son produit intérieur brut a régressé de plus de 20%, la filière du nickel est à l'arrêt et les institutions calédoniennes demeurent fortement endettées.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

If you've ever wondered what an Overland Expo is all about—or if you're planning to attend your first one—this episode is for you. I break down exactly what happens at these events, why they're so popular, and how you can get the most out of the experience.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/history/remembering-china-role-global-antifascist-war-ww2/ China's enormous sacrifices during WW2 and its epic contribution to the defeat of fascism is routinely overlooked, as is the wider significance of the war in the east. The Chinese people's titanic struggle against Japanese imperialism played a vital part in the antifascist victory in WW2. Led by the communists, including revolutionary forces from Korea, this struggle also laid the groundwork for the victory of the Chinese Revolution in 1949, and for a string of other democratic and socialist revolutions that took place in east Asia in the following period.

Even spiritual zeal can become chains when it becomes your identity. This episode unpacks how Paul's recalibration reveals the freedom of being anchored in Christ — no more proving, just belonging.You've done all the right things. Led the teams. Served the mission. Stayed disciplined. And yet, something still feels… off.Because even passion can be performance when it's driven by pressure.Even faith can become another proving ground.In this episode, we explore Paul's dramatic shift from spiritual achiever to beloved son — and what that recalibration unlocks for high-capacity humans who quietly carry the weight of roles, image, and religious performance.Whether you're a faith-driven leader, a parent trying to model it all, or someone who's quietly grown weary from “doing the right things” but still wondering if you're enough — this episode holds space for your soul to breathe.This isn't just about Paul.It's about you — and the quiet invitation to anchor your identity in Christ rather than roles, performance, or approval.In this episode, we unpack:Why spiritual performance often looks like passion on the surfaceHow Paul's resume became chains when mistaken for identityThe difference between zeal that drains and zeal that's anchoredWhy burnout isn't always external — it can come from religious overdriveHow ILR redefines “faithful” beyond productivity and image managementWhat happens when your worth is no longer tied to what you do for GodHow to let go of the ladder and live from loveMicro Recalibration: Ask yourself: Where am I still measuring myself by old standards God already set aside? Let that question strip away what no longer serves the true you.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Listen to the full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XENYK73THs  At 70, Mark Sisson looks better than most people half his age. In this Fitness Friday episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from our conversation where he shares the counterintuitive strategies that kept him injury-free and thriving while his endurance athlete peers broke down. We dive into the concept of metabolic flexibility, why he's now on a "campaign to eradicate running" and believes walking is the single best thing humans can do for themselves, and the “eat to live” mindset that can change your relationship with food.  Mark Sisson is the OG of the ancestral health movement, creator of the Primal Blueprint, and founder of Primal Kitchen (sold to Kraft Heinz). His newsletter Mark's Daily Apple has been teaching people how to optimize their health since 2006, making him one of the earliest voices in what's now a massive wellness industry. What we discuss: Why Mark Looks Decades Younger Than His 70 Years The Injury That Changed Everything and Led to His Anti-Running Philosophy What Metabolic Flexibility Really Means (And Why He Popularized the Term) How to Access Any Energy Source Your Body Needs at Any Time The "Eat to Live vs Live to Eat" Mindset That Transformed His Relationship with Food How Orthotics Actually Weaken Your Feet Instead of Helping Them Why Modern Medicine Treats Symptoms Instead of Root Causes Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

Surviving Disasters Past – The 2003 Northeast Blackout

Dive into this uplifting Double Edged Sword Podcast episode exploring Acts 15, where the Jerusalem Council, guided by the Holy Spirit, ruled against requiring circumcision for Gentile believers, fulfilling rather than abolishing the Old Covenant. Led by Peter, James, and Paul, their decision reflects a unified church, contrasting today's 45,000 denominations split by personal views and deception. Highlighting uniform liturgy, baptism's salvific role, and the Spirit's guidance over mere Scripture (1 Corinthians 1:10, 14:40), this episode urges unity in apostolic truth. Prophets Judas and Silas strengthened faith, not false predictions, as Antioch rejoiced in love and truth (1 Corinthians 13). Embrace Christ's unchanging Word (Hebrews 4:12) for a harmonious faith. Glory to His name!

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Clayton J. Baker – The House Committee on DOGE held its first-ever hearings on Geoengineering. Led by Georgia Republican House Rep MTG, the hearing questioned multiple “experts” regarding the weather and climate manipulation that we are all witnessing with increasing intensity overhead. The hearings proved to be a success in that they opened the official...

Here they come again! Another far-right-wing mob, spurred on by Trump, is storming our US Capitol!Only, these are not uncouth MAGA marauders wearing buffalo horns, breaking in, and attacking Capital police. No, this is a very couth, richly-attired, well-mannered political mob laying siege on Congress. And look: Instead of fighting or fleeing, Republican lawmakers are holding the Capitol's doors wide open for this incursion! That's because this is a swarm of always-welcome corporate lobbyists and campaign funders. In particular, they're an army of global pesticide giants.Led by Bayer, the multibillion-dollar German biochemical conglomerate, they're demanding that Congress keep us commoners from interfering with their poisonous profiteering. Bayer reaps billions of dollars selling a killer pesticide named Roundup, which scientists increasingly consider a cause of cancer, especially in children. Thousands of afflicted families have filed major lawsuits holding Bayer responsible.Of course, Bayer honchos did the honorable thing. Ha! Just kidding. Instead, its lobbyists rushed to Trump and GOP congressional leaders, who – shhhh – quietly tucked a corporate “gotcha” into this month's must-pass budget bill. It would effectively hand retroactive immunity to chemical manufacturers, quashing all those lawsuits filed by families of Roundup victims. Sneaky, huh? Infuriated, grassroots leaders of MAHA (The “Make America Healthy Again” movement) say the Republican Party is being corrupted by false information from the pesticide companies.This is Jim Hightower saying… Actually, what's corrupting the Party's lawmakers is the gusher of campaign money they take from the poison pushers.
