Podcasts about Lump

Questions about what to say to someone who finds it hard to believe in a God that lumps non-criminals in with murderers and rapists when he sends them to Heaven or Hell, and whether all receive the same punishment in Hell.   What could you ask a non-believer who finds it hard to believe in a God that lumps non-criminals in with murderers and rapists when he sends them to Heaven or Hell? Do all receive the same punishment in Hell? Does Hitler receive the same eternal punishment as a Buddhist?

In dieser Folge von „Fünfzehn Minuten über den Fünfzehnten“ spricht Brigitte Neichl in einem fiktiven Interview mit dem Operettenkönig Edmund Eysler (1874-1949). Die Episode widmet sich seinem Lebensweg, von den prägenden Jugendjahren in Fünfhaus bis hin zu seinen großen musikalischen Erfolgen bis hin zu seinen großen musikalischen Welterfolgen wie „Bruder Straubinger“, „Der unsterbliche Lump“ oder seinem Meisterwerk „Die gold'ne Meisterin“. Sie erfahren, warum die Familie Eysler in der Mariahilfer Straße 139 eine bescheidene Wohnung bezog, warum der junge Edmund am Henriettenplatz die Schule schwänzte und welche dramatische Geschichte sich hinter dem berühmten Ausspruch „Ein echter Wiener geht nicht unter“ verbirgt. Verkörpert wird der „Meister“ dabei vom Künstler Andre Blau. Mit dabei ist auch Co-Moderatorin Birgit Dhibi, die gemeinsam mit Brigitte Neichl die Geschichte hinter Eyslers Verbundenheit zu Fünfhaus beleuchtet. Skript : Brigitte Neichl. Hören Sie rein in eine Folge voller Wienertum, Geschichte und Grätzelgefühl! Die Interviewpassagen folgen im Wesentlichen dem Buch von Robert Maria Prosl aus dem Jahr 1947 "Edmund Eysler. Aus Wiens zweiter klassischer Operettenzeit", Verlag Karl Kühne.

Somebody in Quincy, Illinois just became insanely rich, somebody else allegedly treated a Morgan Wallen concert like his own personal bathroom, and somehow that's only the beginning of today's Rizzuto Show.The crew kicks things off with the massive Powerball jackpot and the one winning ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois. Naturally, instead of simply congratulating this newly minted billionaire and moving along like mature adults, we immediately start spending their money for them. Lump sum or annuity? Buy an island or stay in the same house? Disappear forever or become the richest tractor enthusiast in the Midwest? This funny podcast tackles all the responsible financial questions that absolutely nobody should trust us to answer.Moon also wonders whether the mystery winner could somehow be his cousin, which leads to dreams of farmland, giant gardens, tractors, demolition derby cars and the kind of billionaire lifestyle that says, “Yes, I have generational wealth, but I still know how to fix this carburetor.”Then things take a hard turn. And by “hard turn,” we mean the kind of conversational detour only The Rizzuto Show could make.We get an update on Michael Phillips, the North Carolina man who previously went viral for openly discussing his micropenis condition and is now preparing for an enhancement procedure. Rizz actually donated to the crowdfunding campaign, because apparently this show occasionally uses its powers for good between making every possible inappropriate joke about the situation.From there, welcome to The Urine Chronicles.The man accused of urinating on seated concertgoers during a Morgan Wallen show has finally been arrested, reopening one of the great philosophical debates of our time: what exactly are you legally, morally and spiritually allowed to do when a stranger starts peeing on you? Rizz has some thoughts. Rafe has some extremely specific defensive strategies. Lern consults the internet. Moon attempts to introduce reason into the discussion, which—as longtime listeners know—is usually where everything goes wrong.There's also a trip through history as the crew marks the anniversary of the Berlin Wall going up, complete with escape stories, Moon's memories of visiting Berlin and the historically impeccable reminder that David Hasselhoff personally brought the whole thing down. Please do not cite this funny podcast in your dissertation.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, featuring Diddy's prison update and a debate over whether celebrities can ever truly become untouchable after major scandals. The crew gets into Ozzy Osbourne's “Crazy Train” passing one billion Spotify streams, new Phoebe Bridgers music, upcoming rock documentaries, Jason Sudeikis joining Mumford & Sons for the Ted Lasso theme, Seinfeld remaining comfort-food television, Rory Scovel's comedy special, Star Wars fatigue, Ewan McGregor's willingness to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Julie Andrews stepping away from Princess Diaries 3.Plus, celebrity fan encounters get deeply weird. Dolly Parton once had a baby left on her doorstep. The Jonas Brothers received a preserved baby shark. Rupert Grint apparently accepted an invitation to party with drag queens until 4 a.m. And James McAvoy got presented with perhaps the most direct hall-pass proposal imaginable.Throw in birthdays, St. Louis references, inappropriate detours and enough pop culture commentary to make your search history look deeply concerning, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Come for the billion-dollar dreams.

Through two short parables that use the images of a mustard seed and leaven, Jesus makes a similar point. Both a mustard seed and leaven are small and seem insignificant, yet over time, both bring substantial growth. In a similar way, God's reign as King may seem insignificant right now in the ministry of Jesus, but the Lord promises that His reign will become a home for many people. Jesus' parables bring about a fulfillment of God's Word from Psalm 78.  Rev. Ned Moerbe, pastor at Memorial Lutheran Church and School in Houston, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 13:31-35.  To learn more about Memorial Lutheran, visit mlchouston.org. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

Paul returns from a two-week Baltic cruise refreshed and ready to dig into the numbers. He opens with a 12-month performance review of the recommended portfolios at Avantis, DFA and Vanguard — Avantis averaged 31.1% across the 10 equity asset classes in the Ultimate Buy and Hold, versus 27.7% at DFA and 26% at Vanguard — and explains why the non-traditional index funds keep outperforming traditional cap-weighted indexes.Paul also revisits Ben Carlson's look at the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), which grew to $30 billion under management before falling 65% while the S&P 500 gained more than 60% — a costly lesson in performance chasing, with an estimated $7.5 billion in shareholder losses.Then Paul answers 12 listener questions, with a special deep dive into table G1B — 56 years of S&P 500 vs. small cap value returns, one year at a time, plus every combination in 10% increments.QUESTIONS COVERED1.

Lump sum investing can feel like a smart next step when extra cash is sitting in a money market fund or savings account. But before choosing dividend stocks, bonds, growth funds, crypto, or any other investment, the real question is: What is this money for? A strong investment strategy starts with purpose, timeline, and risk, not with whatever investment is getting attention right now. When money doesn't have a clear goal, it's easy to build a portfolio around scattered ideas instead of a financial plan. Matching each pool of money to a realistic timeline can help you decide whether you need safety, income, long-term growth, or diversification. For Americans in Israel with U.S. brokerage and IRA accounts, that kind of goal-based investing can make it easier to avoid unnecessary risk, tax surprises, and trend-driven decisions. Key Takeaways and Action Points Start with the goal. Define what each pool of money is meant to support before choosing investments. Use your timeline to guide the strategy. Money needed soon should usually be handled differently from money meant for long-term growth. Don't chase income you don't need. Dividend strategies can be useful, but they should fit your actual cash-flow needs and tax situation. Avoid trend-driven investing. Diversification can help keep your portfolio aligned with your goals instead of the latest market headlines.

Sometimes it's fun to daydream a bit!  In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff unpack the potential uses of those unexpected windfalls.  The lottery is a great example, although a long shot – especially if you don't play!  Selling a business or receiving a large inheritance is much more likely for some of you.  Below are some practical (and not so practical) ideas. Practical matters first: There will be tax considerations for any windfall and consulting a tax professional and/or financial planning professional will be very helpful. They can help you consider: Lump sum vs annuity payments Timing of business ownership transfer and payments Taxation on various inherited assets and the timing of withdrawals and sales Then, assess where you are with your goals! Can ensure you are on track for retirement, college savings, debt repayment, and so many other things. Last – the fun stuff! With large windfalls, maybe you get to do that pie in the sky dream splurge? Golf simulator? Vacation house? Large chunks of money can potentially have larger tax implications depending on their source. Consulting a tax planning professional can be very helpful in these circumstances. And with these windfalls, consider what's really important to you, tackle that first, then maybe you'll have extra for a splurge!

Welcome to the Komen Health Equity Revolution series on Real Pink — where patients, advocates, researchers and community partners come together to talk honestly about what's standing in the way of breast health equity, and what we're doing to change it. June is Pride Month — a time to celebrate identity, community and the courage it takes to live authentically. Today's conversation sits right at the heart of that. Because advocating for yourself, knowing your body and refusing to be dismissed, that's not just a health message. That's a love letter to who you are. Our guest today is Shelby Smith. She was 30 years old when she noticed something felt off. No family history of breast cancer. Young, healthy, going about her life as a wife and mom to a 7-year-old daughter. But she trusted herself — and that decision changed everything. Shelby faced a 12-centimeter tumor, a bilateral mastectomy, 16 rounds of chemo and 15 rounds of radiation. She did her own research, built her own notebook, asked her own questions — and came out the other side with a message she wants every young woman to hear: Know your normal. And when something doesn't feel right, advocate for yourself. Key Takeaways: Trust your instincts when something feels off Self-advocacy can change outcomes Being informed helps patients navigate treatment Cancer can affect more than physical health Including loved ones in the journey matters Chapters 00:00 Introduction: Shelby's Breast Cancer Story 02:07 Discovering a Lump and Seeking Answers 04:37 Diagnosis, Testing, and Receiving the News 10:07 Research, Self-Advocacy, and Navigating Treatment 17:33 Identity, Family, and Talking to Her Daughter 24:46 Life After Treatment and Advice for Young Women Learn more at realpink.komen.org and komen.org Real Pink, by Susan G.

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 68 MIN. JEN NA ⁠HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR⁠⁠⁠⁠ A ⁠HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Důležitá součást naší práce je nebrat se vážně a neustále přemýšlet, kde to máme špatně,“ říká biochemik Jan Konvalinka o vědě, která podle něj nestojí jen na odpovědích, ale hlavně na pochybnostech. Mluví o boji s virem HIV, Antonínu Holém i o tom, proč ho po pár letech baví měnit téma a dělat něco úplně jiného. Velkou část rozhovoru ale věnuje i Česku. „V našem zájmu je co nejvyšší vzdělanost,“ říká a varuje, že regiony ztrácejí talenty a malá země si nemůže dovolit nechat talentované děti propadnout systémem. Z Litvínova si nese citlivost k Sudetům a odsunu Němců, o němž říká, že to není problém Němců, ale „náš vnitřní problém“. „Sami jsme si hrozně ublížili,“ říká a varuje, že se dnes „průmyslově rozdmýchává nenávist“, protože vystrašit lidi a ukázat jim nepřítele je nejjednodušší způsob, jak je ovládnout. Slušná země je podle něj taková, kde se dodržují nepsaná pravidla, kde platí zákon, kde je justice nezávislá a kde můžete veřejně říkat svoje názory. A i když si nemyslí, že už je z Česka „orbánovská země“, nebezpečí podle něj hrozí. „Možná ještě i naši generaci čeká pár důležitých morálních rozhodnutí,“ říká. Jako člověk spojený s covidovou debatou trvá na tom, že vakcíny zachránily miliony životů a u nás pravděpodobně několik desítek tisíc. Očkování označuje za nejlevnější, nejjednodušší a vlastně přírodní způsob, jak podpořit vlastní imunitu, zatímco homeopatii považuje za placebo a šarlatánství. „V ordinaci lékaře, kterému věřím, bych nechtěl vidět homeopatika,“ říká. Zároveň zůstává technooptimistou. Umělá inteligence je podle něj ve vědě famózní nástroj, který už pomáhá navrhovat proteiny a nové léky. „To je revoluce v medicíně,“ hodnotí. Jenže stejně jako u internetu přiznává, že tehdy nedohlédl rizika a dnes mezi mladšími kolegy pozoruje něco, co by skoro nazval „epidemií osamělosti“. Konvalinka mluví také o editování genů, embryích a hranici, za kterou už věda nesmí jen proto, že něco umí. „Život je něco víc než jen soubor buněk,“ říká a dodává, že víra pro něj není učebnice geologie ani astronomie, ale text o vztahu člověka a smyslu života. V závěru vysvětluje i to, proč jako ředitel instituce váží slova, proč po 7. říjnu vyvěsili izraelskou vlajku a proč mu bojkot izraelských akademických institucí připadá absurdní. Proč podle Jana Konvalinky Česko potřebuje zůstat trochu nudnou a slušnou zemí? Co jsme se z covidu nenaučili a proč je důvěra v instituce důležitější než nové léky? Kde může AI zachraňovat životy a kde je pro člověka nebezpečná? A jak se má věda rozhodovat ve chvíli, kdy už dokáže zasahovat do samotných základů života? Poslechněte si celý rozhovor.

A breast cancer diagnosis may feel like it changes your entire life in an instant, but it doesn't get to define who you are or make all your choices for you. On today's episode of Real Pink, we're joined by Amanda Sangemino, a remarkable young woman whose diagnosis came at an age when cancer was likely the last thing on her mind. What began with a concern that was initially dismissed ultimately led her to trust her instincts, advocate for herself, and make a series of personal decisions about her treatment and future. Throughout the process, she was determined not to let fear and cancer make every decision for her. Today, she'll talk about the choices that she made about fertility, surgical options and maintaining an active lifestyle and why trusting yourself can be one of the most powerful tools you have. Key Takeaways: Mindset can play a powerful role during treatment Trust your instincts and advocate for yourself Maintaining normalcy can be empowering Don't let cancer make every decision for you A strong support system makes a difference Chapters: 00:00 – Amanda's Breast Cancer Story Begins 01:28 – Finding a Lump and Receiving a Misdiagnosis 04:22 – Seeking a Second Opinion and Getting Answers 07:00 – Why Self-Advocacy Matters for Young Women 10:00 – Fertility, Menopause, and Treatment Decisions 14:43 – Choosing Surgery, Staying Active, and Building Support 23:09 – Amanda's Final Advice Learn more at realpink.komen.org and komen.org Real Pink, by Susan G.

The Leaven In The Lump Pastor James Burke 1 Corinthians part 9

Has your family consumed its lump of coal today?One of the most perverse presidential moves ever is Trump's Big Government decree to force feed “King Coal” to Americans. Proclaiming an “energy emergency,” he unilaterally ordered five electric utilities to re-open their old, coal-burning power plants.These are toxic bombs, that continuously spew mercury, carbon dioxide, and a mix of other killer pollutants into our air, water, and bodies. Mercury emissions are especially vicious, causing early death in adults and permanent IQ damages to fetuses and children. Even the president's own health secretary has excoriated mercury pollution from coal-fired utilities as “the most powerful neurotoxin we know of in the universe.”That's why We the People have rebelled against the greed of coal barons in past years, finally replacing their deadly fuel with wind power, solar, and other renewable energy sources – which also lowers consumers' electric bills.So why push to re-impose a horrific corporate poison that the people have already rejected – and that progressive utilities have moved beyond?Crass corruption. By hailing dirty coal as “beautiful,” while demonizing and defunding clean energy, Trump has been showered with millions of dollars from old-line coal profiteers. And never underestimate vanity – he even got a custom bronze trophy from the polluters, hailing him as the “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal.”After America began replacing coal with clean energy, mercury pollution plummeted. But by restarting coal-fired utilities last year, Trump has already increased mercury emissions by 9 percent. Since he tries to merchandize everything, though, you might be able to buy an autographed lump of coal from him.Do something!* The Sierra Club's “Beyond Coal” campaign is a great place to find all kinds of resources for taking action, making local change, and more.* Money in politics remains the thorn in our collective sides, so you can also check out End Citizens United to get involved on that front.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Joe Schmitz Jr. and Jeremy Keil explore the 2% Club of retirees and the unique challenges that come with significant retirement savings and a pension. https://youtu.be/G04JKpKyLJ0 Most retirement conversations focus on one question: Will I have enough? But there's another retirement challenge that doesn't get talked about nearly enough: What happens when you've done everything right? Joe Schmitz Jr. has been working with a very specific group of retirees he calls the 2% Club. His definition: People who have both: A pension And $1 million or more saved for retirement That combination creates opportunities. But it also creates a different set of retirement decisions. Success Creates Different Problems For decades, these retirees did what they were told: Saved consistently Avoided lifestyle inflation Built meaningful retirement assets Earned pensions Stayed disciplined Now retirement arrives… …and suddenly the challenge isn't accumulating wealth. It's using it wisely. Joe shared one statistic that stood out: “80% of people out there will pay no federal income taxes in retirement… while this 2% club is part of that 20% that will have to pay taxes and typically much more.” That means retirement planning shifts. Less focus on accumulation. More focus on: Taxes Spending Distribution strategy Legacy Purpose Why High-Income Retirees Can Accidentally Become Under-Spenders One of the most interesting parts of this conversation was Joe's concept of the Midwestern Millionaire. His description: Hard-working.Frugal.Disciplined. Excellent savers. Often reluctant spenders. And that creates an unexpected retirement problem. People who spent 40 years training themselves to save don't automatically become comfortable spending. Even when they can afford it. Joe described clients who had millions saved but still struggled emotionally to use their money because restraint had become part of their identity. That's where retirement planning becomes less about spreadsheets and more about permission. The Four Places Your Money Can Go Joe offered a simple framework. Your money ultimately goes somewhere. You can: Spend it Gift it Give it Pay taxes on it That framework creates an important question: If you're not spending your money intentionally… where is it going? That doesn't mean everyone should spend aggressively. But it does mean retirees should think intentionally about: Lifestyle Family impact Charitable goals Taxes Because choosing not to decide is still a decision. Pension Decisions Deserve More Attention Than Most People Give Them Joe also emphasized something I see frequently: People often make pension elections based on coworkers. Someone retires.Takes a lump sum.Everyone follows. But pension elections are often irreversible. Joe's advice was simple: Run the numbers. Questions like these matter: Lump sum or monthly pension? Survivor benefits? Age differences between spouses? Existing assets? Insurance needs? The right answer isn't universal. It's personal. Don't Let Tax Fear Control Retirement For some retirees, fear of crossing an income threshold and triggering Medicare IRMAA surcharges becomes bigger than the actual cost itself. Joe's point wasn't to ignore taxes. It was to understand them. Tax planning matters. But taxes shouldn't become the only goal. Because avoiding taxes at all costs can sometimes prevent people from living the retirement they actually built. The Real Goal One story Joe shared captured this perfectly. A retired couple promised each other they'd spend intentionally during their early retirement years. Two years later… They had spent nothing. Not because they couldn't. Because they hadn't learned how. Eventually they created a spending plan and began enjoying experiences they had delayed for decades. That's the shift retirement requires. You don't stop being disciplined. You simply redirect that discipline. The Bottom Line Retirement success isn't measured by how much money you leave untouched. It's measured by whether your money helps support the life you actually wanted. Because after decades of saving… Retirement planning becomes deciding what your wealth is for.

That “lump in your throat” might be a symptom of something more chronic.In this episode of the MindBodySpace Podcast, Dr. Juna sits down with her own doctor, Dr. Jonathan Aviv—ENT physician, Columbia professor, clinical professor at Mount Sinai, and author of The Acid Watcher Diet.We talk about silent reflux, acid influx, and a stomach enzyme called pepsin that may sit in the throat, mouth, nose, and sinuses—and then get reactivated by acidic foods and drinks.This matters because reflux does not always feel like heartburn and chronic reflux can lead to problems benign and pre-cancerous.Sometimes it feels like:✔️ chronic cough✔️ hoarseness✔️ constant throat clearing✔️ post-nasal drip✔️ a lump in your throat✔️ waking up at night feeling like you can't breatheDr. Aviv also explains why some “healthy” flavored drinks, sparkling waters, sports drinks, vinegar, citrus, tomato sauce, and wine can be triggers for some people—and why the solution does not have to be a miserable, restrictive diet.This is where tracking matters.Changing your diet is not just willpower. It's pattern recognition. The RELAX TO SOAR™ planner helps you track food, sleep, stress, exercise, routines, and how your body feels—so you can start seeing what actually helps you feel better.Small changes. Real patterns. Less guessing.Explore the planner here: limited time special offerhttps://www.mindbodyspace.com/storeThis is not medical advice.
