What would change if you had unshakeable self-worth? If judgment fell away and you tended to yourself with pure compassion, what version of self would come forward?In this episode—a continuation of our Inner Child Phases series—Lacy, Jessica, and LMFT EMDR Therapist Janelle explore the final three stages of inner child development: Creativity & Play (ages 3-5), Confidence & Competence (ages 5-3), and Authentic Identity & Belonging (ages 13-21). These foundational years are where your creativity, passion, and your truest, weirdest self come into being.For many of us, this is also where shame, conditioning, and “shoulds” begin to hide our light. This challenge is designed to restore a sense of safety, nurturing, and self-trust—so you can reconnect with who you've always been (and were always meant to be).A reminder for whoever needs it: you're allowed to play for play's sake. To slow down, create beauty, and experience joy simply because it feels good. When you quiet the inner critic and reconnect with curiosity and creativity, you give your inner child permission to live in their truth.It's time to return to your magic. **Trigger warning: We discuss healing from sexual abuse and trauma from 48:00 through 50:40**Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: New Year Sale!Take advantage of this miracle portal and join The Pathway to manifest your dream life in 2026!

What can Bobby Fischer still teach us about chess improvement? In this episode, renowned trainer, author, and historian IM John Donaldson returns to discuss Fischer's writing, advice, and training methods, as featured in his new book Inside the Mind of Bobby Fischer. We explore Fischer's views on openings, what he said about his own IQ, and what modern players can realistically take from his approach. I was particularly interested to hear John break down how Fischer went from roughly 2100 strength to an elite player in less than two years. After our Fischer deep dive, John shares his memories of a young Daniel Naroditsky and discusses the outlook for the next  U.S. Olympiad team, which he has captained 15 times.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Courage Under Snow: Lars's Leap on Lappland Slopes Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-12-15-08-38-20-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Snön låg tjock och mjuk över landskapet i Lappland.En: The snow lay thick and soft over the landscape in Lappland.Sv: En rad glittervita tallar kantade vägarna där en buss full av förväntansfulla elever rullade fram.En: A row of glittery white pines lined the roads where a bus full of excited students rolled forward.Sv: Det var en speciell resa – en skolutflykt till snöiga backar för att fira vinterlovet.En: It was a special trip – a school excursion to snowy slopes to celebrate the winter break.Sv: Lars satt vid fönstret och tittade ut med både spänning och oro i blicken.En: Lars sat by the window and looked out with both excitement and anxiety in his eyes.Sv: Han älskade snön, men tanken på att snowboarda framför sina vänner, och framför allt Emma, gjorde honom nervös.En: He loved the snow, but the thought of snowboarding in front of his friends, especially Emma, made him nervous.Sv: Emma var söt och självsäker.En: Emma was sweet and confident.Sv: Hon satt två rader framför Lars, pratade och skrattade tillsammans med Nils.En: She sat two rows in front of Lars, talking and laughing with Nils.Sv: Nils älskade snowboarding och hade redan erfarenhet av de mest utmanande backarna.En: Nils loved snowboarding and already had experience with the most challenging slopes.Sv: Lars kände ett behov av att visa sig modig och duktig som Nils.En: Lars felt a need to show himself as brave and skilled like Nils.Sv: Men visst, han vågade knappt erkänna för sig själv att han var mer redo för nybörjarbackarna.En: But surely, he barely dared to admit to himself that he was more ready for the beginner slopes.Sv: Bussen stannade vid stugorna där eleverna skulle bo.En: The bus stopped at the cabins where the students would stay.Sv: Karl och Anna tog emot dem med varma leenden, båda lärare och ansvariga för resan.En: Karl and Anna welcomed them with warm smiles, both teachers responsible for the trip.Sv: Snart stod alla i sina snökläder, redo att ge sig av.En: Soon everyone stood in their snow gear, ready to set off.Sv: "Vilken backe ska vi börja med?"En: "Which slope should we start with?"Sv: frågade Emma, vänd mot Lars och Nils.En: asked Emma, turning to Lars and Nils.Sv: Nils log självsäkert, "Jag tänkte ta den svarta pist med en gång.En: Nils smiled confidently, "I was thinking of taking the black piste right away.Sv: Du då, Lars?En: What about you, Lars?Sv: Ska du med?"En: Are you coming?"Sv: Lars tog ett djupt andetag.En: Lars took a deep breath.Sv: "Visst, jag hänger på," svarade han, hoppades att hans osäkerhet inte syntes.En: "Sure, I'll join," he replied, hoping his insecurity didn't show.Sv: De började åka ner för den svåraste backen.En: They started down the most challenging slope.Sv: Snön piskade i ansiktet och vinden hulkade runt dem.En: The snow whipped at their faces and the wind howled around them.Sv: Plötsligt sänkte sig en snöstorm över dem, vilket gjorde sikten dålig.En: Suddenly, a snowstorm descended upon them, making visibility poor.Sv: Emma ropade, "Lars, är du okej?"En: Emma shouted, "Lars, are you okay?"Sv: Handvid knät, Lars lutade sig framåt och kämpade med balansen på det svåra underlaget.En: Hand to his knee, Lars leaned forward, struggling with his balance on the difficult surface.Sv: "Ja, det är bara lite svårt att se," ljög han.En: "Yeah, it's just a bit hard to see," he lied.Sv: Plötsligt, ett ögonblick av panik.En: Suddenly, a moment of panic.Sv: Emma förlorade balansen och stupade framåt i snön.En: Emma lost her balance and tumbled forward into the snow.Sv: Lars reagerade instinktivt, stannade och hjälpte henne upp.En: Lars reacted instinctively, stopped, and helped her up.Sv: "Tack, Lars," sa hon och såg på honom med tacksamhet.En: "Thanks, Lars," she said, looking at him with gratitude.Sv: Stormen gjorde backen ännu mer förrädiskt.En: The storm made the slope even more treacherous.Sv: Men trots sina egna rädslor ledde Lars dem sakta och metodiskt neråt, var mer uppmärksam på alla detaljer längs vägen.En: But despite his own fears, Lars led them slowly and methodically downward, more attentive to every detail along the way.Sv: Efter vad som kändes som en evighet nådde de äntligen platsen där de andra eleverna samlats, säkert men avkylda.En: After what felt like an eternity, they finally reached the spot where the other students had gathered, safe but chilled.Sv: Nils kom rusande mot dem med en blick av lättnad.En: Nils came rushing toward them with a look of relief.Sv: "Jag var orolig att ni råkat illa ut.En: "I was worried you might have gotten into trouble.Sv: Bra jobbat, Lars!"En: Good job, Lars!"Sv: Med en nyfunnen säkerhet i sig själv log Lars tillbaka.En: With newfound confidence in himself, Lars smiled back.Sv: "Tack, vi klarade det tillsammans."En: "Thanks, we made it together."Sv: När kvällen sänkte sig satt Lars och Emma tillsammans inomhus, blickande ut mot snöflingorna som föll tyst.En: As evening fell, Lars and Emma sat together indoors, gazing out at the snowflakes falling silently.Sv: Det var ingen återstå för att imponera, ingen grund för bekymmer kvar.En: There was no need left to impress, no basis for worry remaining.Sv: Lars hade bevisat för sig själv det som verkligen betydde något.En: Lars had proven to himself what really mattered.Sv: Emma såg på honom och log.En: Emma looked at him and smiled.Sv: "Du är modig, Lars," sa hon med värme.En: "You're brave, Lars," she said warmly.Sv: Där och då, i det rofyllda vintermörkret, förstod Lars att detta var början på en vänskap och att han inte behövde vara något annat än sig själv.En: There and then, in the tranquil winter darkness, Lars understood that this was the beginning of a friendship and that he didn't need to be anything other than

During this week's episode of Greener Fields Hannah chats with MaryRose Shanahan from Leap in West Cork — a Pilates teacher and the founder of Wild Atlantic Recovery, a mobile sports recovery business.After finishing she made the decision to move to Dubai, navigating a breakup and life away from home for the first time. That choice sparked three years of travel, during which she lived in seven countries, including Bali, Australia, France, Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Dubai.In this episode she reflects on recognising when her life no longer felt aligned, the lessons she learned through self-development, completing her yoga teacher training in Thailand, and working as a recovery coach across Southeast Asia. She also opens up about injury, the challenge of knowing when it was time to come home, and the pull that eventually brought her back to West Cork.Now home MaryRose shares how cold water swimming — especially in Lough Hyne helped her reconnect with herself and how founding Wild Atlantic Recovery allowed her to bring everything she learned on her travels into meaningful work. Another special conversation so make sure to check it out.Instagram: @greenerfieldss @Maryroseshanahan_ @wildatlanticrecovery

What if everything we think we know about AI understanding is wrong? Is compression the key to intelligence? Or is there something more—a leap from memorization to true abstraction? In this fascinating conversation, we sit down with **Professor Yi Ma**—world-renowned expert in deep learning, IEEE/ACM Fellow, and author of the groundbreaking new book *Learning Deep Representations of Data Distributions*. Professor Ma challenges our assumptions about what large language models actually do, reveals why 3D reconstruction isn't the same as understanding, and presents a unified mathematical theory of intelligence built on just two principles: **parsimony** and **self-consistency**.**SPONSOR MESSAGES START**—Prolific - Quality data.

Story Transcript:Hu: Varázslatos téli nap köszöntött Budapest állatkertjére, és az emberek vidám sürgés-forgása élettel töltötte meg az Akvárium folyosóit.En: A magical winter day greeted the Budapest zoo, and the cheerful bustle of people filled the corridors of the Aquarium with life.Hu: Zoltán, a fáradt, de elszánt édesapa, a karácsonyi szünet minden pillanatát ki akarta élvezni a gyerekeivel.En: Zoltán, the tired but determined father, wanted to enjoy every moment of the Christmas break with his children.Hu: Az autóban ültek, miközben a különleges családi kirándulásra készültek.En: They sat in the car as they prepared for the special family outing.Hu: Eszter, a kilenc éves kislány, izgatottan fészkelődött a hátsó ülésen.En: Eszter, the nine-year-old girl, wriggled excitedly in the back seat.Hu: Őt lenyűgözték az óceán lakói, és alig várta, hogy ismét láthassa őket.En: She was fascinated by sea creatures and couldn't wait to see them again.Hu: Imre, a hároméves kisfiú, követte nővére példáját, és vidáman tapsolt a családi kirándulás örömére.En: Imre, the three-year-old boy, followed his sister's example and clapped joyfully in anticipation of the family outing.Hu: Az Akváriumban meleg fények és karácsonyi díszek között jártak.En: In the Aquarium, they walked among warm lights and Christmas decorations.Hu: Az akváriumokban úszkáló halak árnyékai táncot jártak a karácsonyi fényekkel.En: The shadows of the fish swimming in the tanks danced with the Christmas lights.Hu: Zoltán igyekezett teljesen ott lenni a gyerekei mellett, de a munka hívásai és emailek zaja a zsebében lévő telefonból kiszakította a varázslatból.En: Zoltán tried to be fully present with his children, but the calls from work and the noise of emails from the phone in his pocket pulled him out of the magic.Hu: Eszter ujjongva mutatta Apukájának az egyik gyönyörű akváriumot, ahol a tengeri csillagok mellett kis karácsonyfák lebegtek.En: Eszter excitedly pointed out one of the beautiful aquariums to her father, where little Christmas trees floated among the starfish.Hu: Zoltán alig figyelt rá, csak a telefonját bámulta.En: Zoltán barely paid attention, just staring at his phone.Hu: Imre közben Eszter kezét fogva bámulta a víz alatti világot.En: Meanwhile, Imre, holding Eszter's hand, watched the underwater world.Hu: Egy pillanatra Zoltán megállt.En: For a moment, Zoltán stopped.Hu: Körülnézett.En: He looked around.Hu: Látta, hogyan csillog Eszter szeme, és hallotta, mennyire elragadtatott Imre kacagása.En: He saw how Eszter's eyes sparkled and heard how delighted Imre's laughter was.Hu: Zoltán kitartónak érezte magát.En: Zoltán felt determined.Hu: Érezte a családja fontosságát.En: He felt the importance of his family.Hu: Összeszorította a telefonját, és döntött.En: He clenched his phone and made a decision.Hu: Kikapcsolta.En: He turned it off.Hu: Mély lélegzetet vett, és lehajolt Imréhez, azt suttogta: "Gyertek, nézzük meg együtt!En: Taking a deep breath, he leaned down to Imre and whispered, "Come on, let's look together!"Hu: "A voltatlan váltás Zoltánt más emberré tette.En: This sudden change transformed Zoltán into a different person.Hu: Pár perccel később egy új, különleges kiállításhoz érkeztek, amelyet a karácsonyi időszakra díszítettek fel.En: A few minutes later, they arrived at a new, special exhibit decorated for the Christmas season.Hu: A halak boldogan úszkáltak a fénysugárban, amelyen ott lebegett a karácsony minden jelképe.En: The fish happily swam in the light beam, where every symbol of Christmas floated.Hu: Eszter és Imre a lábujjukon állva nézték a csodát, és Zoltán ott állt velük, érezve az igazi kapcsolódás fontosságát.En: Eszter and Imre stood on their tiptoes, watching the wonder, and Zoltán stood with them, feeling the importance of true connection.Hu: Amikor a nap végéhez értek, a karácsonyi fényshow megkezdődött.En: As the day drew to a close, the Christmas light show began.Hu: A család összeölelkezve gyönyörködött a látványban.En: The family embraced, marveling at the spectacle.Hu: A varázslatos fények játékával érezte Zoltán, hogy a szeretet sokkal erősebb, mint bármilyen munkahelyi stressz.En: With the magical play of lights, Zoltán felt that love was much stronger than any work-related stress.Hu: Együtt a csillogó fények tengerében eldöntötték, hogy sosem hanyagolják el ezt az érzést.En: Together in the sea of shimmering lights, they decided never to neglect this feeling.Hu: A család végül hazafelé indult, szívükben a karácsony melege.En: The family eventually headed home, with the warmth of Christmas in their hearts.Hu: Zoltán elégedetten vezette az autót, tudván, hogy sosem cserélné el ezt a napot semmi pénzért.En: Zoltán drove the car contentedly, knowing he would never trade this day for any amount of money.Hu: Eszter és Imre bebújtak a takaróik alá, és álomba szenderült egy mosollyal az arcukon.En: Eszter and Imre snuggled under their blankets and fell asleep with smiles on their faces.Hu: Az este végére Zoltán tudta, hogy a munka sosem lehet fontosabb a családnál, és a legnagyobb ajándék az, hogy ott lehet velük, élvezve a pillanat örömét.En: By the end of the evening, Zoltán knew that work could never be more important than family, and the greatest gift is being able to be with them, enjoying the joy of the moment.

Ready to learn the history, philosophy, and practice of an experienced professional in the test prep industry? MEET OUR GUEST Meet Roman Marchenko. After 15 years of teaching high school social studies in public and private settings, Roman transitioned to full-time test preparation. He's always been a big fan of standardized tests, and a large part of his practice is getting students to evolve their mindset about the ACT and SAT. So many view these tests as a necessary evil, at best, but that serves as an obstacle to performance!  Roman's favorite part of the job is getting to glimpse the lives of his students as he looks for unique ways to help them. He lives and works in the North Shore of Chicago and has one employee, a Bernedoodle named Millie who greets the students and acts as one of the least qualified security guards in the world. When he's not tutoring, he's trying his best to steer his four boys through school, safeguard a modest Lego collection, and indulge in a love of EDM music. Find Roman at yourexaminedlife@gmail.com.

Over the last few days, online betting platform Polymarket suddenly saw an increase in bets on President Donald Trump declassifying classified UFO records before the end of this year. According to the Daily Mail, on Dec 6, odds in favor of Trump disclosing the truth about UFOs in 2025 were at 6 percent. By Dec. 9, however, those odds increased to a 98 percent chance that the administration would publicly disclose the facts about aliens and/or UFOs. Some believe it is possible a White House insider with knowledge of Trump's thinking on the subject is the reason for the sudden explosion in bets on disclosure occurring soon.Links/Sources:Trump UFO disclosure predicted to come in just DAYS after mysterious 'insider' tip | Daily Mail OnlineSupport Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_Reality⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my YouTube channel:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quirk Zone - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Extraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

Some believe it is possible a White House insider with knowledge of Trump's thinking on the subject is the reason for the sudden explosion in bets on disclosure occurring soon.Links/Sources:Trump UFO disclosure predicted to come in just DAYS after mysterious 'insider' tip | Daily Mail OnlineSupport Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_Reality⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my YouTube channel:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quirk Zone - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Extraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

Ready to learn the history, philosophy, and practice of an experienced professional in the test prep industry? MEET OUR GUEST Meet Jonah Fishel. Jonah has spent nearly a decade helping students and families unlock confidence and mastery in learning. His journey began in an unexpected place: volunteering as a mentor inside a juvenile detention center in central Virginia. There, he worked with young people facing immense challenges, including behavioral issues, learning differences, and years of disrupted schooling. What he discovered was that the real work wasn't just teaching math or reading. Instead, it was showing students that learning was worth the effort, and that they were capable of doing it. That early experience reshaped his entire philosophy of education and has guided his work ever since. Today, with a decade of test prep tutoring experience, Jonah specializes in supporting students with learning differences, helping them build both academic skills and self-belief. He holds a B.A. in Storytelling from the College of William & Mary, with minors in Computer Science and Religious Studies, and is completing his Master's in Education at Villanova University. He also spent nearly five years at Inspirica, a New York–based tutoring firm, where he worked as a full-time test prep tutor before becoming the company's Education Technology Manager.

Alphabet's (GOOGL) Gemini 3.0 poses what Shay Boloor considers a real risk to ChatGPT. He points to Google search backing Gemini as a cost-effective and intelligence-heavy moat for the A.I. model. Shay believes OpenAI needs to make extensive moves into horizontal SaaS to compete. Tom Essaye makes the case that Gemini is "leap frogging" ChatGPT. He adds that companies first to the scene don't always last, noting MySpace losing its social media war to Facebook as an example. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What about this Falcons team stands out to you, Wyman & Bob break down what is sticking out to them from the Seahawks next opponent. This is a Falcons team you should beat and Sam Darnold needs to have a dominant performance. // Take Two: Falcons are still saying Drake London is day-to-day.

She shares why career pivots show up for so many of us — sometimes by choice, sometimes not — and how those quiet nudges can point you toward work that feels better than what you've been settling for. Ariane also explains why it helps to pause, breathe, and let yourself feel what's coming up before rushing into the next thing. Then she gets practical, with small steps like checking in with people who've seen you shine, reconnecting with supportive colleagues, and exploring new options without having it all figured out.
