Today, we're tackling a topic that most humans will face at some point in their life: Training with Pain.Whether it's chronic low back pain, a tight shoulder, cranky knees, or just that lingering ache that pops up every time you do squats or reach overhead — pain can be confusing, frustrating, even scary. But here's the truth:Pain is not a stop sign — it's a signal.Today's episode is about helping you understand that pain is part of the process, not the end of it. We'll talk about why pain doesn't always mean damage, how to move through it safely, and how to use it as a tool for progress — not a reason to give up.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/Citations & Research Links1.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #228 Jay Grazio Executive Editor, Shooting Illustrated   I was down in Fairfax, VA, filming shows with the NRA staff. One of the folks who I had lunch with was Jay Grazio. He's originally from Massachusetts, a funny guy, and we hit it off well. So we filmed a show!    One of the perks of his position is that he gets to train. When we did the show, he'd recently visited Gunstie in Arizona. It also sounds like the NRA has the employees do training together, which he says he did with one of the other staff members.    As a Bay Stater, it's hard to be a gun person, with all the limitations (infringements) and laws (more infringements) that we have. As much as he loved growing up in small town New England, it wasn't good as a gun activist and writer. When he took the position at Shooting Illustrated, he made the move to free America in Virginia.    At a young age, the shooting bug hit him. His father was a Mass State Police police officer and his grandfather was a town police officer. Firearms were always around and safety was emphasised by the elders. Guns were tools to the family. His grandfather would tell him stories of when he was young and owned a diner. During the Depression, often people would settle up with bills and exchange meals for firearms. This makes the history of firearms a big interest for Jay.    One prized possession is his grandfather's Colt revolver that he carried, which was made in the 1930's. Another is a 1911 from 1917, which still fires without any issues, just like it did over 100 years ago.    Always one to look for a good gun story, Jay would help friends in need by offering to buy guns from friends and when they could pay him back, he'd give the gun back. But there was one Colt Python that he wasn't able to come up with the money for and it got away from him. He also had to pass on a fully, lawfully transferable M16 that was only $10,000 back then.    He has a degree in biology and a master's degree in biochemistry, so of course he became an editor. In the early days, Jay was involved in lots of blogging on various websites and topics. He used to argue over politics online, like many of us still do. Then a friend had him write as the resident “gun guy”. He started his own blog about firearms by reviewing LaserLyte products, which he saw in an American Rifleman magazine. That led to more and more reviews and products.    Things just kept rolling from there. Since then he's written for Shooting Illustrated, Recoil, and Western Shooting Journal. When there was an opening at Shooting Illustrated, he was encouraged to apply. He took the chance and it worked out. Getting a degree and masters with a biology and sciences background, he understood writing, working on thesis, and meeting deadlines. Having some experience in sales marketing and websites came in handy, too. All transferable skills as he admits.    At a previous job, Jay shares what's really a typical story for a gun owner in “occupied territory.” One colleague, who was an avid hunter, kept a knife in his truck in case there was an incident. This person wasn't a fan of ARs. He thanked Jay on his last day at the job for not causing an incident when he left. This is a display that not all gun owners are created equally. It was OK for the man to have a “military grade sniper rifle”, but not acceptable, to him, for someone else to own an AR. Hypocrisy has no bounds.    Jay was a great guy to spend time with! He's a great story teller. His position gives him exposure to all sorts of training, gear, and personalities in the gun community. This was a fun interview and I hope y'all enjoy it. You can check out Shooting Illustrated from or the link below, or NRA's website, and read all of Jay's articles and the work he does.  Favorite quotes: “Massachusetts is the birthplace, and graveyard, of liberty.” “It's a way of connecting with the past in a manner that you can use it the way it was intended.” “Massachusetts doesn't make it easy to be a Second Amendment advocate.” ”Guns are not good, guns are not evil.

Vicky Gonzalez is tearing up the Aussie jiu jitsu scene like a woman on a mission. 2024 was her breakout year—she took gold at Fusion FC, dominated the Pan Pacific Championship, and wrapped things up by becoming the M1 No-Gi Purple Belt World Champ.

In this episode, she spills the tea on life as a competitor, what it's like being coached by her fiancé Lachlan Conway (spoiler: it's not all love and triangles), and how she keeps up with the grind of training without losing her mind.

The maker of one of the most remarkable films released last year has spoken to FRANCE 24 about how he gained access to and followed the Taliban just after they retook control of Afghanistan in 2021. Part of the film follows the Taliban around a vast former US complex known as Hollywood Gate, which was full of some of the $7 billion worth of military equipment left behind by the Americans. That included tactical fighter jets and M16 rifles. The film has been shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature Film at the Oscars. Ibrahim Nash'at spoke to us in Perspective.

Listener questions from Kay Springham and Iain Campbell. Recommendations: Eamonn The Only Girl In the Orchestra - Netflix This short documentary celebrates trailblazing double bassist Orin O'Brien, the first woman to become a full-time member of the New York Philharmonic. Angela Cover - BBC Sounds The man tasked with finding and killing alleged IRA informers was an informer all along. Reporter Mark Horgan traces the story of the secret British Army Agent known as Stakeknife. David My Silent War - The Autobiography of a Spy - Kim Philby In the annals of espionage, one name towers above all others: that of H. A. R. "Kim" Philby, the ringleader of the legendary Cambridge spies. A member of the British establishment, Philby joined the Secret Intelligence Service in 1940, rose to the head of Soviet counterintelligence, and, as M16's liaison with the CIA and the FBI, betrayed every secret of Allied operations to the Russians, fatally compromising covert actions to roll back the Iron Curtain in the early years of the Cold War. Written from Moscow in 1967, My Silent War shook the world and introduced a new archetype in fiction: the unrepentant spy. It inspired John Le Carre's Smiley novels and the later espionage novels of Graham Greene. Kim Philby was history's most successful spy. He was also an exceptional writer who gave us the great iconic story of the Cold War and revolutionized, in the process, the art of espionage writing.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes the return of Cameron McWhirter, Racist Suspect. An author and reporter for The Wall Street Journal, McWhirter is a White man and Atlanta, Georgia resident. He covers politics and US news for the WSJ. McWhirter visited The C.O.W.S. back in 2011 to discuss his book Red Summer: The Summer of 1919 & the Awakening of Black America. This work examines the myriad of terrorist attacks against black people across the US and how this terrorist start to the 20th century birthed a number of attempted counter-racist organizations. The great Carter G. Woodson was nearly killed by a Racist White mob in the nation's capitol during this macabre 1919 White pogrom. In 2023, McWhirter teamed up with Zusha Elision to write American Gun: The True Story of The AR-15. The book provides details on Eugene Stoner's iconic black rifle that changed military and world history. This book mentions so many familiar, tragic events and people in the history of White Supremacy: the Columbine massacre of 1999; the Buffalo, New York TOPS massacre of 2022; the Uvalde school slaughter of 2022; the 2017 Las Vegas music festival slaughter; the 2020 Wisconsin protests where Kyle Rittenhouse killed two White people and wounded another. All these abominable events - except Columbine - involved the firearm of our times, Stoner's AR-15/M16 assault rifle. Gus is curious why there are no pictures of non-white people in this text and why McWhirter and his co-author mostly provide extra details about shooting victims who are classified as White. We learn lots of extra tidbits about a German White Woman who survived the Vegas carnage and the White parents who lost a child at Sandy Hook. American Gun provides no insight to the anguish the AR-15 has wreaked on the family and friends of Katherine Massey and the other TOPS victims or the non-white parents in Uvalde. When asked about this discrepancy, McWhirter highlighted the book went to publishing prior to Gendron's conviction and shortly after the 2022 massacres in Uvalde and Buffalo - which limited their access to information about these still developing cases. Gus also emphasized that McWhirter and Elision frequently fail to explicitly identify White people as the target audience to purchase assault rifles as well as the primary obstacle to sensible gun regulation. #FireArms #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Author and Vietnam veteran Bob Orkand discusses what he calls the “tragic failure” of the M16 rifle in Vietnam, a story captured in his book, Misfire. The M16 rifle in the Vietnam War was marred by a series of critical problems that severely undermined its effectiveness and tarnished its reputation among soldiers. Initially introduced as a replacement for the M14, the M16 faced immediate challenges in the harsh and demanding conditions of the Vietnamese jungles. One of the primary issues stemmed from insufficient training and maintenance procedures. Soldiers were often ill-prepared to properly care for the M16, with some even being misled into believing that the rifle was “self-cleaning.” Lack of cleaning supplies and instructions further compounded this problem, leading to increased vulnerability in combat situations. The intricate components of the rifle required meticulous maintenance, a task many soldiers found themselves untrained for.

Do fans support a move? How much of a role does Old Trafford as a stadium play in the identity of United, and the same with Goodison and Everton? What is the minimum capacity of a new ground that could convince fans to leave Old Trafford behind? Those questions and many others pondered in this episode from M16!

In the 1950s, an obsessive firearms designer named Eugene Stoner invented the AR-15 rifle in a California garage. High-minded and patriotic, Stoner sought to devise a lightweight, easy-to-use weapon that could replace the M1s touted by soldiers in World War II. What he did create was a lethal handheld icon of the American century. In American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15 (FSG, 2023), the veteran Wall Street Journal reporters Cameron McWhirter and Zusha Elinson track the AR-15 from inception to ubiquity. How did the same gun represent the essence of freedom to millions of Americans and the essence of evil to millions more? To answer this question, McWhirter and Elinson follow Stoner--the American Kalashnikov--as he struggled mightily to win support for his invention, which under the name M16 would become standard equipment in Vietnam. Shunned by gun owners at first, the rifle's popularity would take off thanks to a renegade band of small-time gun makers. And in the 2000s, it would become the weapon of choice for mass shooters, prompting widespread calls for proscription even as the gun industry embraced it as a financial savior. Writing with fairness and compassion, McWhirter and Elinson explore America's gun culture, revealing the deep appeal of the AR-15, the awful havoc it wreaks, and the politics of reducing its toll. The result is a moral history of contemporary America's love affair with technology, freedom, and weaponry. Cameron McWhirter is a national reporter for The Wall Street Journal, based in Atlanta. He has covered mass shootings, violent protests and natural disasters across the South. He is also the author of Red Summer: The Summer of 1919 and the Awakening of Black America. Previously, he reported for other publications in the U.S., as well as Bosnia, Iraq, and Ethiopia. Zusha Elinson is a national reporter, writing about guns and violence for the Wall Street Journal. Based in California, he has also written for the Center for Investigative Reporting and the New York Times Bay Area section. Recommended Books: Robert Caro, The Path to Power William Shawcross, Sideshow Dexter Filkins, The Forever War Adam Winkler, Gun Fight Tim Mak, Misfire Doug Stanton, Horse Solidiers  Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Associate Professor at Ithaca College.

AMERICAN GUN: The True Story of the AR-15 by Cameron McWhirter and Zusha Elinson is about the most lethal handheld icon of the 21st century - the AR-15 rifle - which has become the weapon of choice for mass shooters. The same gun, under the name M16, was the gun that was carried by soldiers in Vietnam. Now, that weapon - or even just the silhouette of its barrel and trigger - has come to symbolize freedom for millions of Americans and the essence of evil for millions of others. AMERICAN GUN tells the essential and extraordinary story of the AR-15 for the first time. Jonathan Eig writes, "With hard-core reporting and gripping prose. [t]his is social history at its finest." AMERICAN GUN authors McWhirter and Elison are both journalists at the Wall Street Journal who have covered gun culture and the industry, including mass shootings, for years. They tell the story in three parts. The first is about an iconoclastic engineer with no formal training, Eugene Stoner, who came up with the idea for the gun in his garage workshop in Los Angeles, solving an age-old problem in weapons design - how to make a lightweight, easy to fire gun that essentially powers itself. He then, somewhat heroically, took on the military industrial complex with a small company and ultimately overcame lies and deceit at the top of the government to establish this weapon as by far the better option for the military. The book then moves to the jungles of Vietnam. It tells another part of the story of the AR-15 where the government modified the gun, naming it the M16, which didn't work very well - jamming repeatedly, costing many lives, and causing a major Congressional investigation. In the final part of the book, the terrifying story of how this weapon that has no use in hunting became more and more popular in the civilian market, beginning in the 1970s and accelerating most recently, is told. We meet upstarts and transgressive gun manufacturers as well as video game developers who celebrate the A-15's outlaw mystique in order to promote it. And we see how attempts to ban and restrict it are foiled again and again, even as mass shootings proliferate.

Was his name David? It was the question we wanted Todd Lamphere to answer as he shared the account of one guy with just a stone in Ein Habesor who, along with four other men with M16's, beat back an army of Hamas terrorists. Pastor and Vice President of Government Relations for City Serve, Lamphere shared how the moshav – an agricultural community three short miles from the Gaza border, part of a region that supplies 60 percent of the produce that feeds Israel – successfully defended themselves.

AMERICAN GUN: The True Story of the AR-15 by Cameron McWhirter and Zusha Elinson is about the most lethal handheld icon of the 21st century - the AR-15 rifle - which has become the weapon of choice for mass shooters. The same gun, under the name M16, was the gun that was carried by soldiers in Vietnam. Now, that weapon - or even just the silhouette of its barrel and trigger - has come to symbolize freedom for millions of Americans and the essence of evil for millions of others. AMERICAN GUN tells the essential and extraordinary story of the AR-15 for the first time. Jonathan Eig writes, "With hard-core reporting and gripping prose. [t]his is social history at its finest." AMERICAN GUN authors McWhirter and Elison are both journalists at the Wall Street Journal who have covered gun culture and the industry, including mass shootings, for years. They tell the story in three parts. The first is about an iconoclastic engineer with no formal training, Eugene Stoner, who came up with the idea for the gun in his garage workshop in Los Angeles, solving an age-old problem in weapons design - how to make a lightweight, easy to fire gun that essentially powers itself. He then, somewhat heroically, took on the military industrial complex with a small company and ultimately overcame lies and deceit at the top of the government to establish this weapon as by far the better option for the military. The book then moves to the jungles of Vietnam. It tells another part of the story of the AR-15 where the government modified the gun, naming it the M16, which didn't work very well - jamming repeatedly, costing many lives, and causing a major Congressional investigation. In the final part of the book, the terrifying story of how this weapon that has no use in hunting became more and more popular in the civilian market, beginning in the 1970s and accelerating most recently, is told. We meet upstarts and transgressive gun manufacturers as well as video game developers who celebrate the A-15's outlaw mystique in order to promote it. And we see how attempts to ban and restrict it are foiled again and again, even as mass shootings proliferate. The authors adeptly tell the story in ways that look at technology, business and politics as well as the terrible crime scenes from a variety of perspectives - from witnesses, doctors, victims to the killers themselves. They offer their unique perspective and insight into where the gun debate is today and what can be done about it. As Kirkus Reviews notes in their starred review of AMERICAN GUN, it is a " riveting exploration of the cost of the nation's fascination with an iconic weapon."

In Continued Defense Of Effective Altruism — Scott Alexander

M, le supplément du Monde, a eu l'idée de mettre en vis-à-vis deux portraits, deux familles, les Weissmann, et les Redwan. Les premiers ont « échappé au massacre du Hamas et sont réfugiés chez des proches près de Tel Aviv », les seconds vivent en Cisjordanie et pleurent leurs grands-parents, morts sous les bombes à Gaza. Pour Yaakov Weissman, 83 ans, arrivé en Israël en 1959, « l'horreur toujours peut ressurgir. Encore et encore ».« Mais, dit-il, la différence avec les siècles d'agression et de traques qui nous ont précédés, c'est que nous avons désormais un pays. C'est le seul asile sûr pour les juifs du monde entier et il doit à tout prix le rester ». Une certitude que le 7 octobre ne semble pas avoir ébranlé. « Un peuple palestinien ? » Il se souvient de son arrivée en Israël, et assure que « cela ne voulait rien dire.  Il n'y avait pas d'identité palestinienne, dit-il. Des gens de toutes sortes, essentiellement des pays arabes alentour, s'étaient installés sur ce petit territoire, mais ce n'était en aucune façon un pays ».Comme en écho, la famille Redwan raconte son histoire. Celle des grands-parents, « chassés de leur foyer en 1948, installés un temps en Arabie saoudite, ils n'ont jamais cessé de cultiver leur identité palestinienne », souligne le supplément du Monde. Des grands-parents, « tués dans un bombardement israélien à Gaza, le 10 octobre »... « La belle maison orange et le jardin où le patriarche avait planté des fèves et de la vigne ne sont plus qu'un tas de ruines ». Leur fille Reem, « apaise sa douleur en se disant qu'ils sont morts en martyrs (...) elle croit qu'une place spéciale leur est réservée au paradis ». « J'ai vécu dans cinq maisons différentes à Gaza », raconte-t-elle,« elles ont toutes été bombardées. Je suis une éternelle réfugiée ». Reem et ses filles vivent désormais à Ramallah, en Cisjordanie, et elles ne peuvent pas en sortir. Le père, lui, est « coincé à Khan Younès, dans le sud de la Bande de Gaza ».La Cisjordanie en ligne de mireLe Point a enquêté sur un phénomène resté en arrière-plan, éclipsé par les bombardements sur Gaza, et l'inquiétude pour les otages israéliens... « Depuis le 7 octobre, explique l'hebdomadaire, les extrémistes israéliens multiplient les actions punitives » en Cisjordanie. Selon le ministère de la Santé, à Ramallah, plus de 220 Palestiniens auraient été tués en un mois par l'armée israélienne et les colons, en Cisjordanie. Le Point a rencontré Morsi et Akram, deux frères pour lesquels « la saison des olives a tourné au cauchemar ». Le 11 novembre, alors qu'ils réalisent les premières récoltes dans le champ familial, ils sont menacés par des hommes armés, qu'ils identifient comme des colons. « L'un d'eux », raconte Morsi, m'a tenu en joue avec son fusil M16, et m'a lancé : « je vais te descendre. Si tu oses sortir à nouveau, je te brûlerai vif ». « Depuis ce jour, précise Le Point, Morsi et Akram ne sortent plus de chez eux, où ils se sont cloîtrés avec femme et enfants ».Donald Trump, le retour ?« Au secours, Trump revient » s'alarme l'Express... parlant d'une hypothèse « vraisemblable », qui provoque des « sueurs froides dans le monde entier ».  Car l'ex-président « tient la corde dans les sondages », face à Joe Biden, en vue de l'élection présidentielle l'année prochaine. Trump vainqueur ? Une perspective qui est loin de concerner les seuls États-Unis... « Trump pourrait, nous dit-on, utiliser son pouvoir exécutif pour ralentir ou même arrêter le soutien à l'Ukraine approuvé par le Congrès américain ». Et ce n'est pas tout, poursuit l'Express, « le retour de Trump aux affaires impacterait aussi le Moyen-Orient avec, d'une part, une position plus dure que celle de Biden vis-à-vis de l'Iran, le Hamas et le Hezbollah et d'autre part, un ' soutien total à Israël ', comme il l'a déjà annoncé ». L'Express a aussi interrogé Françoise Coste, historienne du Parti Républicain. À la question « À quoi ressemblerait Trump 2 » ? Elle répond « ce serait Trump 1, mais en pire, parce qu'il sera plus aguerri et que désormais il connaît les institutions ». « Il a déjà annoncé, ajoute Françoise Coste, qu'il poursuivra en justice Joe Biden et ses conseillers. On ignore dans quel but, ce serait une simple vendetta ».Enfin, un portrait sans complaisance dans l'Obs...Portrait de Patrick Pouyanné, le patron de Total, « le roi du pétrole », ironise l'Obs, selon lequel « il freine la transition énergétique ». « Il est tellement en confiance » ajoute l'hebdomadaire, « qu'il peut annoncer sans gêne que son groupe prévoit d'accroître, de 2 à 3 % tous les ans, sa production de pétrole et de gaz, d'ici à la fin 2028 ». De son côté, l'ONG Greenpeace a « calculé que Total prépare 33 projets si émetteurs de CO2 qu'on peut les qualifier de "bombes climatiques ». Quant aux réunions de travail avec Patrick Pouyanné, elles virent souvent au « jeu de massacre », nous dit l'Obs... Un familier de ces réunions raconte les invectives : « c'est nul », « vous n'avez rien compris », « c'est n'importe quoi ». « Le patron de Total ne fait confiance à personne » conclut l'hebdomadaire.

*Patrons get 25 minutes extra* Manchester United's start to this season is confounding. Erik ten Hag's Reds appear constantly on the edge of breakdown, and always close to defeat, too, and yet six points from the opening nine is a respectable beginning to any campaign. Old Trafford stood in shock as United conceded twice in four minutes against Nottingham Forest, but there remained a sense of confidence and defiance, and justified it proved for a 3-2 comeback victory followed. Further injuries have followed to deepen the sense of crisis in M16, but it's an away trip this weekend, to Arsenal. Back to London, where our record has been so poor recently, for a huge challenge at the Emirates. On the Manchester United Weekly Podcast this week, Harry Robinson and Jack Tait preview Sunday's match at Arsenal in detail today, as well as looking back on the Forest fixture.

Washington Post reporter Todd Frankel explains how the AR-15 was adapted from the M16 military combat automatic rifle, and how it became an icon of gun culture and a favored weapon for mass shooters. John Powers reviews the Apple TV+ series Drops of God.

At a school in Nashville on Monday, a shooter used two AR-style weapons and a handgun to kill three children and three adults. Today on “Post Reports,” we look at the history of the AR-15 and how it became America's gun. Read more:The AR-15 wasn't supposed to be a bestseller. The rugged, powerful weapon was originally designed as a military rifle in the late 1950s. “An outstanding weapon with phenomenal lethality,” an internal Pentagon report raved. It soon became standard issue for U.S. troops in the Vietnam War, where the weapon earned a new name: the M16.Few gunmakers saw a semiautomatic version of the rifle — with its shrouded barrel, pistol grip and jutting ammunition magazine — as a product for ordinary people. It didn't seem suited for hunting. It seemed like overkill for home defense. Gun executives doubted many buyers would want to spend their money on one.And yet, today, the AR-15 is the best-selling rifle in the United States, industry figures indicate. About 1 in 20 U.S. adults — or roughly 16 million people — own at least one AR-15, according to polling data from The Washington Post and Ipsos.So, how did we get here? The Post's Todd Frankel explains.What damage can an AR-15 do to a human body? The Post examined autopsy and postmortem reports from nearly a hundred victims of previous mass shootings that involved AR-15-style rifles to show the impact of bullets from an AR-15 on the body.High-capacity-magazine bans could save lives. Will they hold up in court? Legislative and legal battles flare over restrictions that experts say could reduce casualties in AR-15 attacks.
