Kristian Jaloway is a partner at John Oberg Advisory and a public speaker who works with mission-driven organizations to leverage their strengths and make them even better leaders in their field. At 18, he entered the Legionaries of Christ seminary in Connecticut, convicted that he should give God the first chance. Over the years, he completed priestly formation: novitiate and humanities in Connecticut, mission work in Caracas, Venezuela, mentoring young men, and five years in Rome, earning degrees in philosophy and theology. At the same time, he served as a seminary formator, assisting primarily in human and apostolic formation for a total of eight years.Finally, although conflicted, Kristian was ordained a Catholic priest in 2008. He served as a priest and Vice-Rector of a minor seminary in Gozzano, Italy, during which he inherited a worldwide crisis in the Legionaries of Christ and an acute crisis in the local area he was charged with. Navigating this successfully taught him lessons on transparency and leadership that he still teaches others. After four years of active priestly ministry, he received the clarity he always lacked and had to make the hardest decision of his life: to leave the priesthood. Kristian spent several years training and managing ramp and safety operations for Delta Air Lines, scratching his itch for travel and aviation. Now, after 30 years leading and developing teams worldwide, Kristianunderstands that each person has incredible potential. He coaches and consults for startups, government, and nonprofits on leadership and human management, including the Houston Fire Department and the Texas Workforce Commission. Kristian helps leaders navigate the things that typically create the most stress: personnel issues, financial questions, and how to create institutional change in a world often at odds with their values.Kristian holds an MA in philosophy and a BA in theology from the Pontifical University Regina Apostolorum in Rome, Italy, and an MA in International Affairs from the Bush School of Public Service at Texas A&M University. He is a private pilot and resides in Austin, TX, with his wife and three boys. They enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle with lots of hiking, camping, and travel.

This episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference. The panel discusses their individual experiences with outbreaks in different states. Beth talks about her group's microbial surveillance technology they used to compare rectal swabs from positive and non-positive herds. They noted elevations in specific virulent E. coli, Salmonella spp., and Clostridium perfringens in the HPAI-positive herds. Enrique noted that in California, the outbreak began in the South Valley during periods of heat stress, which exacerbated symptoms. He also felt that some dairies panicked a little and moved cows too much, which did not help. In the North Valley, the outbreak happened in cooler weather, and dairies purposefully did not move cows out of their pens and provided supportive therapy within the pen. (5:25)Dr. Schcolnik emphasized making sure i's are dotted and t's are crossed in your nutrition program to help manage through an outbreak. The immune system is an obligate glucose utilizer, so energy is key, as are protein and trace minerals. He noted they also added binders to diets, and either probiotics or double doses of yeast to keep the rumen healthy. Decreasing intake is a big symptom, so he recommends vitamin B supplementation to stimulate appetite. (12:30)The panel discusses how the Texas and California outbreaks differed from one another, including heat stress, recovery in milk production after infection, bird migration and cattle movement. Enrique notes that in California, it seemed like transmission was going downwind. Animal movement, wild birds and milk trucks were also implicated. (14:31)Several companies are investing in vaccine development, but the virus mutation is a challenge. Dr. Spencer wonders if the vaccine will end up resembling the human flu vaccine where you hope to target the general structure of the virus to reduce impact. The panel talks about natural immunity and how cows will be impacted in the lactation after they were ill. Dr. Schcolnik has observed that a percentage of cows who were dry during the outbreak aren't performing as well after freshening. He hypothesizes this could be due to mammary cell death during infection, as the virus lyses the cell as it exits the cell. (24:41)The panel discusses practical recommendations for dairy producers to prepare for or help mitigate during an outbreak. Biosecurity is key. Vaccines are hopefully on the way, but until then, minimizing cattle movements within the herd, post-dipping cows as soon as possible after the machine falls off and minimizing splashing of milk are all good practices. The panel looks forward to more research about all the different ways the virus transmits. They're also eager to learn more about treatment plans and what has worked for different dairies regarding giving fluids, altering rations, boosting the immune system, managing co-infections and impacts on calves and heifers. (29:18)Lastly, panelists share their take-home thoughts. (37:33)Scott invites the audience to Bourbon and Brainiacs at ADSA in Louisville - a bourbon tasting with all your favorite professors!

This is the first published study to link avocados in the maternal diet to a lower risk of infant food allergies—a growing public health concern that affects nearly one in 13 children, or roughly two in every classroom.   Researchers analyzed data collected as part of the Kuopio Birth Cohort (KuBiCo). Participants who reported eating any avocado (>0 grams) in either trimester were defined as avocado consumers, and non-consumers were those who did not report consuming any avocado in either trimester. Infant allergic outcomes, including rhinitis, paroxysmal wheezing, eczema, and food allergy, were evaluated at 12-months of age. After adjusting for factors food allergy was found to be significantly higher in infants of non-avocado consumers (4.2%) versus avocado consumers (2.4%).    Six new studies point to red raspberry's potential anti-inflammatory properties   Various Universities, May 2, 2025 (Medical Xpress)   Initial findings from six animal model studies reveal the potential effects of red raspberry consumption on cardiovascular disease risk reduction, maintaining normal blood glucose levels and liver function as well as potential anti-inflammatory effects related to bone health.   Cardiovascular University of Michigan observed potential benefits of red raspberry intake on obesity-prone rats.   Metabolic Syndrome Washington State University noted positive effects of red raspberry consumption on metabolic syndrome in male mice with diet-induced obesity. Oregon State University studied the effects of red raspberries in mice fed a high-fat, high-sugar Western diet.   Diabetes Texas A&M University reported positive effects of red raspberry consumption on diabetes-related complications and heart disease in obese diabetic mice.   Liver Function Oregon State University noted raspberry's capacity for ellagic acid quercetin to bind to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARa).   Inflammation and Bone Health Texas Woman's University observed anti-inflammatory effect of polyphenols in red raspberries in the production of osteoclasts, the cells associated with the breakdown of bone.     Better physical health probably follows religious and spiritual engagement, rather than vice versa University of Miami, May 7, 2025 (PLoS One)   Better physical health probably follows religious and spiritual engagement, rather than vice versa, per six year longitudinal U.S. study aiming to tease out this relationship Religious and spiritual (R/S) engagement is generally associated with better health. However, it is not known which comes first between R/S engagement and health due to a lack of longitudinal studies. We examined this issue in a sample assessed six years apart. We examined the measurement invariance and reciprocal relationships of R/S engagement and self-rated physical health (SRH) at two timepoints (six years apart). We then assessed whether the strength of their relationships with each other differed.   Our findings demonstrate that religious and spiritual engagement predicts better self-rated physical health six years later, whereas better SRH does not significantly predict future R/S engagement.   Tomato and fruit juice improve quality of life for kids with asthma King Mongkut's Institute of Technology (Thailand), May 7, 2025 (News Medical) In a recent study published in the journal BMC Nutrition, researchers evaluated the effects of an antioxidant-rich diet on asthma outcomes in children. In the present study, researchers examined clinical outcomes, pulmonary function, and serum antioxidant levels in asthmatic children in Thailand. Participants were randomized to the intervention or control group. The control group received conventional usual care, whereas the intervention group received usual care and mixed fruit and tomato juices. Further, serum antioxidants (ascorbic acid, lycopene, and beta-carotene) were measured. In sum, the consumption of tomato and mixed-fruit juices for eight weeks improved asthma symptom control and quality of life in children. Serum beta-carotene increased within the intervention group, though this was not significantly different compared to controls. However, pulmonary function, ICS usage, and between-group antioxidant levels were unaffected by the intervention.   Discover how parsley helps to fight cancer University of Missouri, April 25, 2025 (NaturalHealth365) Research published in Oncotarget  detailed for the how apigenin in parsely slows and halts the production of the enzyme IKKa, which is behind the growth and progression of cancer. The scientists concluded that apigenin has a profound ability to slow cancer progression or stop it altogether.   In addition to these results, combined apigenin with green tea successfully treats colon cancer and the University of Missouri researchers found apigenin was effective against breast cancer and killed as much as 86 percent of lung cancer cells. Parsley is an excellent source of carotenoids, which protect against cancer-causing cell damage. Additionally, it's considered a “chemoprotective” food due to its ability to protect healthy tissues in the body from the toxic effects of many cancer treatments or drugs. As a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties – and its rich source of vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, chlorophyll, fiber, lutein, zeaxanthin, folate and cryptoxanthin. It's also packed with a higher concentration of vitamin K than kale.   Eating ultra processed foods may speed up early signs of Parkinson's disease Fudan University (China), May 7, 2025 (Eurekalert) People who eat more ultra processed foods like cold breakfast cereal, cookies and hot dogs are more likely to have early signs of Parkinson's disease when compared to those who eat very few ultra processed foods. Researchers looked for signs of prodromal Parkinson's disease, which is the earliest stage, when neurodegeneration begins, but more characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's disease, like tremors, balance problems and slow movement, have not yet begun. These early symptoms can begin years or even decades before the typical symptoms start. The study included 42,853 people with an average age of 48 who did not have Parkinson's disease at the start of the study. They were followed up to 26 years. After adjusting for factorsg, researchers found that participants who ate 11 or more servings of ultra processed foods per day had a 2.5-fold higher likelihood of having three or more early signs of Parkinson's disease compared to those consuming fewer than three servings per day. When looking at individual early signs of Parkinson's disease, researchers also found that eating more ultra processed foods was tied to an increased risk for nearly all symptoms except constipation.

She opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of taking the bar exam four times, the challenges of managing burnout and motivation, and the crucial role her support system—family, friends, and her significant other—played in her success. During our conversation, Jeanna reveals the evolution of her study strategies, discussing what didn't work and what finally helped her succeed. She shares her experiences with different bar prep programs, including Bar Exam Drills, flashcards, one-sheets, and working with a tutor. Her insights highlight the importance of repetition, targeted practice, and adapting your study approach to suit your personal learning style. We also explore the mental and emotional challenges of waiting for results, dealing with setbacks, and overcoming self-doubt. Jeanna talks candidly about coping with disappointment, navigating family expectations, and finding strength through faith and determination. Her journey is a powerful reminder that perseverance pays off, leading her not only to pass the bar but also to secure her dream job through networking and never losing sight of her goals. Jeanna's advice for future bar takers is both practical and heartfelt: give it your all the first time, don't let fear of imperfection stop you from taking the exam, and most importantly, believe in yourself. She encourages listeners to rest during the waiting period, pick up hobbies, and seek support whenever needed. If you're preparing for the bar or facing setbacks, Jeanna's story will motivate you to keep going, adapt your approach, and remember that your journey is uniquely your own. Jeanna is also open to connecting with anyone who needs advice or encouragement, so don't hesitate to reach out.

A simple microscope gift during a childhood illness sparked a lifelong passion for horticulture that would take Dr. Daniel Leskovar from Argentina to leadership in American plant science. As the current President of the American Society for Horticultural Science, Dr. Leskovar shares the remarkable journey that began with his father's work in hop production and led him through prestigious institutions across three continents.The conversation reveals how formative experiences—observing agricultural practices in Patagonia, studying plant cells during recovery from a kidney infection, and adapting to a fruit and vegetable-rich diet—shaped his scientific curiosity. Dr. Leskovar pursued advanced degrees at Wageningen University, UC Davis, and the University of Florida before establishing himself as a respected researcher and center director at Texas A&M University.From his base in the "Winter Garden of Texas," Dr. Leskovar conducts innovative research on artichokes, tomatoes, spinach, and hydroponics. His current projects showcase a commitment to practical solutions, including grafting techniques for improved tomato production, assessing cadmium levels in spinach to ensure food safety, and developing hydroponic systems that can engage students with horticultural science.What truly distinguishes this conversation is Dr. Leskovar's vision for horticultural science globally. He articulates ambitious goals for ASHS, emphasizing the need to elevate publications, strengthen the society's brand recognition, and forge international partnerships that highlight how "what we do matters to people, matters to the environment, matters to quality of life."Ready to discover how horticultural science shapes our world?

The Aurora Borealis – also known as the Northern Lights – won't be at their peak activity much longer, and the Unexpected Elements team dreams of going north to see them. And that has got us looking at the science of navigating our way north! We hear about how humans have been using the sky to navigate for millennia, and we learn about how relying on GPS may be impacting our memory ability. And while humans use maps to get around, how do animals know where to go on their long migrations? To find the answer, we speak to Dr Kayla Goforth at Texas A&M University who studies exactly how sea turtles and monarch butterflies innately know how to navigate the world around them. We also learn why polar bears keep themselves ice-free, and we hear old records of the first men to reach the North Pole. All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements.

Benjamin P. Davis's Choose Your Bearing: Édouard Glissant, Human Rights and Decolonial Ethics (Edinburgh University Press 2025) provides one of the first readings, in English or French, of Édouard Glissant as an ethical theorist. What do we in the West owe those who grow our food, sew our clothes and produce our electronics? And what have we always owed one another, but forgotten, avoided, or simply disregarded? Looking back on nearly a century of colonial war and genocide, in 1990 the poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant appealed directly to his readers, calling them to re-orient their lives in service of the political struggles of their time: ‘You must choose your bearing.' Informed by the prayer camps at Standing Rock, and presenting Glissant alongside Stuart Hall, Emmanuel Levinas, Simone Weil, Enrique Dussel, Gloria Anzaldúa and W. E. B. Du Bois, this book offers an urgent ethics for the present – an ethics of risk, commitment and care that together form a new sense of decolonial responsibility. A sequel to the book, Another Humanity: Decolonial Ethics from Du Bois to Arendt, is forthcoming this year. Benjamin P. Davis is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies and Hispanic Studies at Texas A&M University and a Fellow at the Center on Modernity in Transition. He is the author of Simone Weil's Political Philosophy: Field Notes from the Margins (Rowman & Littlefield 2023) as well as Choose Your Bearing: Édouard Glissant, Human Rights, and Decolonial Ethics (2023) and a sequel, Another Humanity: Decolonial Ethics from Du Bois to Arendt (2025), both published by Edinburgh University Press.

It's Tuesday, March 25th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 3 Iranian Christians get 42 years of prison time Three Iranian Christians have been sentenced to a cumulative 42 years in prison for their involvement in Christian activities. The Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced a pregnant woman named Narges Nasri to 16 years. And two men were also given harsh sentences.  Abbas Soori got 15 years and Mehran Shamlooei received 10 years for organizing a house church in Tehran.  According to Open Doors, Iran is the 9th most difficult country worldwide for Christians. 3 men arrested by KGB in Tajikistan Also, The Worldview received news that three men were arrested by the KGB in Tajikistan last week, for simply possessing Bibles and meeting to worship on Sunday.   From last report they are still in prison. Remember our brothers and sisters in chains in your prayers.  Maine Univ. listens to Trump, bans biological men from women's sports The University of Maine has agreed to comply with the Trump administration's requirement that no men should be allowed to participate in women's collegiate sports. The U.S. Department of Agriculture had temporarily frozen $30 million of funding to the University of Maine's system comprised of eight universities. The USDA issued a press release announcing the change of policy on the part of the University of Maine, noting that “UMaine's decision to side with sanity is a win for women and girls in Maine.” However, the president is demanding a full-throated apology from Maine's Democratic Governor Janet Mills, reports The Western Journal.   At a February meeting with governors at the White House, Mills threatened to sue the Trump administration over the women's only federal policy, according to a video posted on X. 80 U.S. hospitals continue to mutilate kids in transgender surgeries Despite the U.S. president's recent policy statements to the contrary, almost 80 hospitals are still offering mutilation surgeries for children, reports the TransHealth Project.   On January 28th, President Donald Trump signed an executive order stating that “it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition' of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.” Judge: Ban on drag performances is unconstitutional A federal judge ruled Monday that a Texas A&M University ban on drag performances is unconstitutional. Judge Lee Rosenthal, a female appointee by George H. W. Bush, argued that drag performances are an expression of freedom of speech, and should be allowed on public universities.  She further stated that “Shakespeare's literary works that, when his plays were written and performed, female characters were played by young men dressed in women's attire.” The judge also referenced to major motion pictures like Mrs. Doubtfire and Hairspray, in which cross-dressing was essential to the plot of the movie. Deuteronomy 22:5 brings out the moral principle that “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.” More men attending church than women That surprising gender gap of American church attendees has widened even more, according to the latest Barna poll. Now, preliminary numbers indicate that 40% of men attend church weekly, compared to only 28% of women. From 2000 to 2015, women attended church at higher rates than men. Then, from 2016 to 2021, men and women attended at about the same rate. Eating meals alone is mentally unhealthy And finally, Americans are increasingly eating meals alone.  Interestingly, 26% of Americans ate all their meals alone yesterday.  That's up from 17% two decades ago. The percentage of young people -- 20-35 years of age -- eating alone has almost doubled in twenty years. However, the Asian countries of Korea, Japan, India, and the Philippines, are the nations least likely to share meals. The World Happiness Report claims that “Sharing meals proves to be an exceptionally strong indicator of subjective wellbeing – on par with income and unemployment. Those who share more meals with others report significantly higher levels of life satisfaction.”  Proverbs 18:1 warns of this: “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 25th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
