Xenobe Purvis's slim but powerful debut novel, “The Hounding,” opens with a jolt: “The girls, the infernal heat, a fresh-dead body. Marching up the river path, the villagers.”How did we get here, with five young sisters living in 1700s England being hunted by an angry mob that suspects them not only of murder but also of the demonic ability to transform themselves into a pack of wild dogs? That is the tale “The Hounding” unfolds, in a gothic parable about male ego, cultural misogyny and the dangers of gossip run amok.On this week's episode, host MJ Franklin discusses “The Hounding” with his fellow Book Review editors Joumana Khatib, Emily Eakin and Gregory Cowles.Other books and works mentioned in this podcast:“The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson“The Sound of Music,” directed by Robert Wise“The Testament of Yves Gundron,” by Emily Barton“The Scarlet Letter,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne“Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch,” by Rivka Galchen“Delicate Edible Birds,” by Lauren Groff“Paradise,” by Toni MorrisonThe podcast “Normal Gossip”“You Didn't Hear This From Me,” by Kelsey McKinney Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

What happens when you stop obsessively planning and trying to control the outcome in the studio and start letting your subconscious lead the way? In this episode of the Create! Podcast, host Ekaterina Popova chats with August Vilella, a self-taught artist whose intuitive approach has landed his work in Art Basel and major galleries across Asia and Europe. August reveals how he abandoned sketches and rigid concepts to find a "direct language" that transcends cultural and language barriers. We explore his "happy accident" move to Japan, his upcoming 10th-anniversary chronological exhibition, and why he believes the best career investment you can make is simply showing up in person. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Intuitive Method: Why August starts with a completely white canvas and no prior ideas or sketches to allow the subconscious and past experiences to take a leading role. The Self-Taught Advantage: How skipping art school allowed August to find his own unique style and "signature" before being influenced by a teacher's perspective. Building a Career from Zero: The story of how a two-week trip for a show in 2020 turned into a five-year Japanese residency after a flight was cancelled during the pandemic. Being Your Own "Bad Boss": The discipline required to be strict with gallery deadlines while maintaining a meditative, improvisational creative process. The "Lottery" of Opportunities: Why traveling to openings and art fairs is essential for letting collectors and directors see your energy and story, not just the final work. Milestone Exhibitions: A look at his massive 500-square-meter 10th-anniversary show in Shenzhen and upcoming solo exhibitions in Tokyo and Ginza. Key Quotes: "All my past experience have some deep impact in my painting... my subconscious mind have a very important role in the creative process." — August Vilella "The best way to make an interesting career is to travel, to meet people, to talk with people... they not only see your work, they also see your energy." — August Vilella Connect with the Guest: Instagram: www.instagram.com/august_vilella_art/ Website: augustvilella.com About the Host: Ekaterina Popova is an artist and the founder of Create!

The 1% in Recovery Successful Gamblers & Alcoholics Stopping Addiction
Text and Be HeardA five-dollar wager in middle school. A winning ticket decades later that still didn't fix the ache. We follow a gambler's arc from the 1978 Cotton Bowl to a final MLB bet and the moment everything shifted—not with a jackpot, but with humility, faith, and work. Along the way, we unpack the psychology that locks people into chasing the first high, why memory and emotion fuse so tightly around that “big win,” and how the brain's love of uncertainty can hijack a life.We get honest about what actually helps at the start. Not lectures. Not quick fixes. Presence. Someone who will sit with you in the mess long enough for shame to soften, so action can begin. From there, we dig into practical tools: natural dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin from movement, rest, connection, and service; a simple daily scorecard, Recovery Growth Scorecard, that turns hope into measurable progress; and character-based steps that rebuild trust with yourself and others. If you've tried to explain your behavior to family and been met with anger, judgement or disbelief, you'll recognize the relief of being understood without excuses.Then we torch the “win it back” story with numbers. Lottery odds sit at 1 in 292 million while lightning odds tower above them. Waiting for a financial miracle is a stall, not a plan. The exit ramp is craft over chance—using your ideas to create income, using your heart to build love, and using routine to create peace. We also share a spiritual moment in Fatima that opened the door to asking for help back home, and how faith and effort can work together no matter your belief system.If you're perched on the edge of change, this conversation offers clarity and a starting line: track one small habit, call one safe person, and let compounding beat craving.

Pastor Andy Cass "Neediness" is by design. Jesus teaches us that our neediness is not a flaw—it's an invitation. We are invited to ask, to knock, and to trust that God gives good gifts to His children. TEXT: Luke 11:5–13, James 1:5, James 4:6, James 5:16, James 2:16 NOTES: -God is a Giver, and Satan is a Taker. -God gives permission to ask, and Satan takes your confidence in asking God by whispering, “You're annoying. You're too needy. You're too much.” OR God gives permission to ask, and Satan takes your humility and replaces it with pride by shouting, “You deserve it. You don't have as much as they do. What's wrong with God?” ART OF ASKING // According to the Book of James -Permission — James -Posture — James 4:6 -Person of Good Reputation — James 5:16 -Pay It Forward — James 2:16 Action Step: Permission to ask, so ask way The Problem: We forget that we are designed to be needy, or at other times we are just too whiny about what we don't have. The Plan: Ask in order to give, appreciate what you receive, and become more like God the Giver.

Pastor Andy Cass In this message from the If I Won the Lottery… series, we confront the lie of scarcity and discover a better way forward. Jesus reframes losing, finding, and generosity through three powerful stories — a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son. God is a giver, which makes us winners — but distraction, waste, and isolation can cause us to live like we're losing. TEXT: Luke 15:3–12, Ephesians 2:10, Joel 2:25, John 10:10, Hebrews 10:24–25 NOTES: Big Idea: Patch the Pitcher and Pour out the first 10% God gives purpose — Satan takes purpose and replaces it with distraction. God gives restoration — Satan takes what is broken and exploits it. God gives community — Satan takes community and isolates. Stop losing, Start Finding God is a Giver, Satan is a Taker, What are you?

The H-1B program just underwent its most significant structural change in decades. On December 29, 2025, DHS issued a final rule replacing the random H-1B lottery with a wage-weighted selection system—and it takes effect February 27, just before the fiscal year 2027 cap registration season opens in March.Immigration Nerds host Lauren Clarke sits down with EIG's newest partner Naïanka Rigaud to break down exactly how this weighted system works. They explore the complex legal analysis behind wage level determinations, what the 48% decrease in selection probability means for Level 1 registrants versus the 107% increase for Level 4 candidates, and why simply earning a high salary doesn't guarantee a higher wage level classification.From geographic wage disparities to potential compliance pitfalls, Lauren and Naïanka cover what employers and foreign workers need to understand right now—including the possibility that registration infrastructure might not be ready, potentially reverting to full petition submissions. This is essential listening for anyone navigating H-1B cap season 2027.GUEST: Naïanka Rigaud, EIG PartnerHOST: Lauren Clarke NEWS NERD: Rob Taylor PRODUCER: Adam Belmar

What if your brain isn't simply reacting to reality — but actively predicting it?In this conversation, Timothy Schultz speaks with Dr. Srini Pillay, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and neuroscientist, about how the brain shapes perception, belief, intuition, and what many people describe as “luck.”Rather than approaching the law of attraction as a belief system, Dr. Pillay explains it through neuroscience — including how visualization, emotion, attention, and expectation influence what we notice and how we act.Topics include the brain as a prediction machine, intuition and dreams, heart–brain coherence, unfocused awareness, and why openness may matter more than effort when it comes to opportunity.This is a grounded, thoughtful conversation for anyone interested in the science behind intuition, meaning, and the inner life.Hosted by Timothy Schultz, Powerball winner and creator of Lottery, Dreams & Fortune.
Pastor Andy Cass Blessing in the Kingdom is never the finish line; it's the starting point. The question isn't if God has given, but how we will respond. Will we live like winners who steward what God has entrusted, or like takers who believe the lie that there's never enough? TEXT: Luke 19:1–5, 8–13; Luke 12:48, Matthew 4:8–10 NOTES: Zacchaeus encounters Jesus and responds with generosity and restoration. Blessing is not luck, success, or entitlement—it is responsibility. If God is a giver, then we are His servants. God gives; Satan takes. -God gives truth, Satan takes truth and replaces it with lies -God gives abundance, Satan takes contentment and creates scarcity -God gives unconditionally, Satan is transactional Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Show NotesIn this episode of the Angel Mystic Podcast, I dive into a topic that can be a bit triggering: why you haven't won the lottery yet. Not from a place of logic, odds, or strategy, but from an energetic and spiritual perspective. I explore how focusing on winning the lottery can actually block abundance, why money amplifies rather than fixes, and how your nervous system, self-identity, and capacity to receive play a much bigger role in wealth manifestation than most people realize. I discuss why sudden wealth can create anxiety, sabotage and visibility fears, how your body might associate abundance with loss or overwhelm, and why wealth arrives to the version of you that is becoming, not the version that is waiting. I also share what's happening at Angel HQ this month and end with the Angelic Insights for the week of January 12th–18th. If you've ever wondered “Why not me?” when it comes to abundance, this episode might just change how you see the whole thing.Host Bio:Amanda Tooke renowned Spiritual Teacher and NLP Manifestation Coach is the host of the Angel Mystic Podcast.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for an unfiltered dive into the "human condition" and the quirky secrets we keep. This episode explores "guilty pleasures"—from secret sewing hobbies to a hidden love for Kate Smith—and the elaborate lies people tell to maintain their reputations, including a man who maintained a fake bowling career complete with a rented locker and pristine shoes. The conversation travels from the nostalgic smells of Vitalis hair oil and "butch wax" to the high-stakes stress of winning the lottery and cruel winning-number pranks. You'll also get a fascinating look at cultural subcultures, including the syncretism of Santeria, the history of "Irish Rovers," and the mysterious "King of the Gypsies" in Chicago. From duck pins in Massachusetts to the "strange darkness" of the Romani people on the East Side, it's a journey through the knowledge that titillates and informs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Top Stories for January 6th Publish Date: January 6th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, January 6th and Happy Birthday to Malcolm Young I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lawrenceville's new downtown hotel rising ahead of schedule Lawrenceville resident kicks off new year by winning $1 million in the Georgia Lottery The Latest: US strikes Venezuela, captures Maduro and his wife All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: Lawrenceville's new downtown hotel rising ahead of schedule Lawrenceville’s dream of a downtown hotel has been a slow burn—years of planning, delays, and setbacks. But now? It’s finally happening, and faster than anyone expected. The Lawrence Hilton Tapestry, a boutique hotel nestled between the Lawrenceville Lawn and Arts Center, is set to open mid-2026. Or maybe even earlier. “We’re ahead of schedule and under budget,” said City Manager Chuck Warbington. Brickwork is already going up, and the weather’s been a surprising ally—minimal rain, no freezing temps. The hotel will feature 120 rooms, meeting spaces, a chef-driven restaurant (Bellfire), and a bar (Old Nick’s). Plus, 200 new parking spots in the city-owned deck below. This project’s been a decade in the making, delayed by COVID and financing hurdles. But now, Lawrenceville’s vision of a walkable, thriving downtown is finally within reach. STORY 2: Lawrenceville resident kicks off new year by winning $1 million in the Georgia Lottery Three Georgians are starting 2026 a whole lot richer—millionaires, in fact. Among them? A lucky winner from Lawrenceville, along with two others from College Park and Grovetown. Their $1 million prizes came from the Georgia Lottery’s second-chance Georgia Millionaire drawing, announced right as the clock struck midnight on New Year’s. Talk about a way to ring in the new year. The Georgia Millionaire scratcher offers $10,000 instant prizes and a shot at the big one through second-chance entries. STORY 3: The Latest: US strikes Venezuela, captures Maduro and his wife The United States launched a military operation early Saturday, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, in a move that’s already shaking the world. By morning, he was aboard a U.S. warship, blindfolded and bound for New York to face drug trafficking charges. President Trump, speaking on Fox News, called the operation “genius” and confirmed the U.S. would oversee Venezuela’s next steps. “We’ll be involved very much,” he said. The fallout was immediate. Venezuela’s U.N. ambassador condemned the strike as a “colonial war,” while China and Russia slammed the U.S. for violating international law. Meanwhile, in South Florida, Venezuelan exiles celebrated, waving flags and chanting “Liberty!” Maduro’s capture marks a dramatic escalation in U.S.-Venezuela tensions. Trump dismissed criticism over bypassing Congress, calling his opponents “weak” and insisting the operation was necessary. “The tyrant is gone,” said Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.

The decorations are packed away, the parties are over, and—ugh—football season’s almost done. So now what? Here’s an idea: throw on that big coat, brave the chill, and dive into Gwinnett’s arts scene. Plays, concerts, art classes—there’s plenty to shake off the winter blahs. On Jan. 11, the Gwinnett Symphony Orchestra and Youth Orchestra team up for a concert at Discovery Theatre in Lawrenceville. Mozart, Strauss, and even Anderson’s quirky “The Typewriter” are on the program. Tickets? Head to www.tix.com. Prefer visual art? The Hudgens Center in Duluth has three exhibits running through January, including “Sketching with Buck,” a stunning collection of hand-drawn architectural sketches from around the world. Or maybe you’re itching to create? The Suwanee Arts Center offers classes like “Watercolor Landscapes” (Jan. 7 and 14) and “Drawing Basics” starting Jan. 17. Winter doesn’t stand a chance. STORY 5: Meet the first babies born in 2026 at hospitals in Gwinnett New Year’s Eve is exciting enough—countdowns, confetti, champagne. But imagine if Jan. 1 was also your birthday. That’s exactly the case for a few lucky babies born in Gwinnett hospitals as the calendar flipped to 2026. At 12:44 a.m., Julian Alessandro Sanchez made his debut at Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, becoming their first baby of the year. Over at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Braselton, Brittany and Ryan Hopper of Hoschton welcomed twin boys—Koen Anthony at 4:58 a.m. and Kaden Michael at 5:14 a.m. The Hopper family even received a gift basket from the hospital’s Auxiliary and Safe Kids program. We’ll be right back. Break 3: EAGLE THEATRE Gentleman’s Guide STORY 6: Gwinnett police offering free women's basic self-defense course The Gwinnett County Police Department is hosting a self-defense program for women 16 and up, and honestly, it’s something every woman should consider. The Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) course isn’t just about learning moves—it’s about building confidence, awareness, and practical skills to stay safe. Over four sessions (Jan. 20, 22, 27, and 29, from 6–9 p.m.), participants will dive into risk awareness, avoidance strategies, and hands-on defense techniques. It wraps up with a live simulation—because practice makes perfect, right? Held at the Gwinnett Police Training Center in Lawrenceville, spots fill fast. Don’t wait. Call 678.442.6520 or visit GwinnettCounty.com/RAD to register. STORY 7: Norcross Grad Mason Kaplan Earns NCAA Elite Scholar-Athlete Award Norcross alum Mason Kaplan just added another impressive accolade to his already stacked resume. On Saturday, the Illinois State linebacker snagged the NCAA FCS Football Elite Scholar-Athlete Award—one of the most prestigious academic honors in college football. Here’s the deal: this award isn’t just about being good on the field. It’s for the student-athlete with the highest GPA at the finals site of an NCAA championship. And Kaplan? He’s rocking a 4.0 in grad school, studying the psychology of sport and physical activity. Oh, and he’s also president of ISU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. What’s wild? Kaplan started his college career as a quarterback, playing two seasons at Valparaiso and one at Illinois State before an injury sidelined him in 2024. This year, though, he’s made a seamless (and dominant) transition to linebacker, helping lead the Redbirds to Monday’s FCS National Championship in Nashville.

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy.We were excited to record and share this conversation with Matt Dinan, a professor who teaches in a Great Books program at St. Thomas University, a liberal arts college in New Brunswick, Canada. It brings together longtime preoccupations of the show — Saul Bellow's late novel, Ravelstein, Allan Bloom, Straussian political philosophy — with the fraught emergence of LLMs like ChatGPT. This past semester, Dinan took a fairly radical approach to confronting AI in the classroom, and it seemed to work. We consider the art of teaching, the qualities of great teachers, and what it all reveals about an insidious technology's effect on how we live and learn as citizens in, at least for now, a democratic republic.Listen again: "Unraveling Allan Bloom and Saul Bellow," June 21, 2021Sources:Saul Bellow, Ravelstein (2000)Allan Bloom, The Closing of the American Mind (1987)Matt Dinan, "Saul Bellow's Ravelstein," Hedgehog Review, Spring 2025— "Permission Structures," Prefaces, Dec 10, 2025— "It's Not Just a Calculator," Prefaces, Aug 28, 2024Jorge Luis Borges, "The Lottery in Babylon," Collected Fictions (1999)Jonathan Malesic, "ChatGPT Is a Gimmick: AI cannot save us from the effort of learning to live and die," Hedgehog Review, May 21, 2025— "Taming the Demon: How desert monks put work in its place," Commonweal, Feb 2, 2019
For almost two centuries, Ancient Athens—the most successful democracy in history—selected citizens by lottery to fill government positions. Athens adopted sortition—a random lottery system—to select most public officials and the members of the Council of 500, a reform pioneered in 508 BC to break aristocratic control and distribute power equally among ordinary citizens. Some say it worked much better than the Assembly of Athens. In 406 BC, the Assembly rashly voted to execute all six victorious generals following a victory over Sparta because a storm prevented them from recovering the bodies of those who were lost at sea during a terrible storm. The Council of 500 later intervened by carefully reviewing the case, exposing procedural illegalities, and helping restore calmer judgment that tempered the Assembly's impulsive decision. This governing system soon disappeared from the earth. The Council of 500 was disbanded in 322 BC when Macedonian forces crushed Athens’ democracy. Rome never adopted it because its republican system favored election of magistrates and a powerful Senate of lifelong aristocrats, viewing random selection as too chaotic and unfit for a large, conquest-driven state. Athens' ancient sortition has made a modern comeback in America through randomly selected jury trials for fair justice and in new "citizens' assemblies"—which have re-emerged from Oregon to France--where ordinary people are lottery-picked to deliberate and recommend policy. Today’s guest is Terry Bourcious, author of “Democracy Without Politicians.” He is a former politician from Vermont, and he argues we should return to the Athenian model, adapted for modern governance through "multi-body sortition," where randomly selected citizen bodies, with expert staff, would draft legislation, set agendas, review proposals, and make final decisions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
