Times have become turbulent it appears once again in our nation. With a recent school shooting in Minneapolis, some politicians and pundits once again hurled anger at those who pray for people in deep distress after tragedy in our country. This is an unhealthy and unhelpful response from leaders, who really should consider that this nation has been driven to prayer in times of national emergency throughout its history from the Pilgrims, the Colonies, times of war throughout our history, to present. On this episode of 2Days Denarius, Ron Thomas gives some response to those who dismiss God and those who call out to Him in times of distress. He also provides a prayer for the nation, along with encouraging words from a well-known politician with a much more positive and correct approach as to why people reach out to an Almighty God in disaster and/or distress. It concludes with a small presentation of a couple of verses from Martin Luther's famous hymn, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God."Theme Song "Holy Is the Lord" is used by permission of song writer/performing artist, Pastor Steve Hereford, of the Changed By Grace Church in Jacksonville, FL.

Moisés había recibido el mandato: "Sube a Jehová, tú, y Aarón, Nadab, y Abiú, y setenta de los ancianos de Israel; y os inclinaréis desde lejos. Mas Moisés solo se llegará a Jehová". Mientras el pueblo oraba al pie del monte, estos hombres escogidos fueron llamados al monte. Los setenta ancianos habían de ayudar a Moisés en el gobierno de Israel, y Dios puso sobre ellos su Espíritu, y los honró con la visión de su poder y grandeza. "Y vieron al Dios de Israel; y había debajo de sus pies como un embaldosado de zafiro, semejante al cielo cuando está sereno". No contemplaron la Deidad, pero vieron la gloria de su presencia. Antes de esa oportunidad aquellos hombres no hubieran podido soportar semejante escena; pero la manifestación del poder de Dios los había llevado a un arrepentimiento reverente; habían contemplado su gloria, su pureza, y su misericordia, hasta que pudieron acercarse al que había sido el tema de sus meditaciones. Moisés y "Josué su ministro" fueron llamados entonces a reunirse con Dios. Y como habían de permanecer ausentes por algún tiempo, el jefe nombró a Aarón y a Hur para que, ayudados por los ancianos, actuaran en su lugar. "Entonces Moisés subió al monte, y una nube cubrió el monte. Y la gloria de Jehová reposó sobre el monte Sinaí". Durante seis días la nube cubrió el monte como una demostración de la presencia especial de Dios; sin embargo, no dio ninguna revelación de sí mismo ni comunicación de su voluntad. Durante ese tiempo Moisés permaneció en espera de que se le llamara a presentarse en la cámara de la presencia del Altísimo. Se le había ordenado: "Sube a mí al monte, y espera allá". Y aunque en esto se probaban su paciencia y su obediencia, no se cansó de esperar ni abandonó su puesto. Este plazo de espera fue para él un tiempo de preparación, de íntimo examen de conciencia. Aun este favorecido siervo de Dios no podía acercarse inmediatamente a la presencia divina ni soportar la manifestación de su gloria. Hubo de emplear seis días de constante dedicación a Dios mediante el examen de su corazón, la meditación y la oración, antes de estar preparado para comunicarse directamente con su Hacedor. El séptimo día, que era sábado, Moisés fue llamado a la nube. Esa espesa nube se abrió a la vista de todo Israel, y la gloria del Señor brotó como un fuego devorador (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 322, 323).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 31 DE AGOSTOEL LIBRO Y LA SANGRE¿Quién posee nuestro corazón? ¿Con quién están nuestros pensamientos? ¿De quién nos gusta hablar? ¿Para quién son nuestros más ardientes afectos y nuestras mejores energías? Si somos de Cristo, nuestros pensamientos están con él y le dedicamos nuestras más gratas reflexiones. Le hemos consagrado todo lo que tenemos y somos. Anhelamos ser semejantes a él, tener su Espíritu, hacer su voluntad y agradarle en todo. Los que llegan a ser nuevas criaturas en Cristo Jesús producen los frutos de su Espíritu: "amor, gozo, paz, longanimidad, benignidad, bon-dad, fidelidad, mansedumbre, templanza". Gálatas 5:22, 23. Ya no se conforman con las concupiscencias anteriores, sino que por la fe siguen las pisadas del Hijo de Dios, reflejan su carácter y se purifican a sí mismos como él es puro. Aman ahora las cosas que en un tiempo aborrecían, y aborrecen las cosas que en otro tiempo amaban. El que era orgulloso y dominador es ahora manso y humilde de corazón. El que antes era vano y altanero, es ahora serio y discreto. El que antes era borracho, es ahora sobrio y el que era libertino, puro. Han dejado las costumbres y modas vanas del mundo. Los cristianos no buscan "el adorno exterior", sino que "sea adornado el hombre interior del corazón, con la ropa imperecedera de un espíritu manso y sosegado". 1 Pedro 3:3, 4... Cuando vamos a Cristo como seres errados y pecaminosos, y nos hacemos participantes de su gracia perdonadora, el amor brota en nuestro corazón. Toda carga resulta ligera, porque el yugo de Cristo es suave. Nuestros deberes se vuelven delicias y los sacrificios un placer. El sendero que antes nos parecía cubierto de tinieblas brilla ahora con los rayos del Sol de justicia. La hermosura del carácter de Cristo ha de verse en los que le siguen. Él se deleitaba en hacer la voluntad de Dios. El poder que pre-dominaba en la vida de nuestro Salvador era el amor a Dios y el celo por su gloria. El amor embellecía y ennoblecía todas sus acciones. El amor es de Dios; el corazón inconverso no puede producirlo u originario. Se encuentra solamente en el corazón donde Cristo reina. "Nosotros amamos, por cuanto él nos amó primero". 1 Juan 4:19. En el corazón regenerado por la gracia divina, el amor es el móvil de las acciones. Modifica el carácter, gobierna los impulsos, restringe las pasiones, sub-yuga la enemistad y ennoblece los afectos. Este amor atesorado en el alma endulza la vida y derrama una influencia purificadora sobre todos los que están en derredor (El camino a Cristo, pp. 58-60).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO DE TARDE, 30 DE AGOSTOEL PACTO Y EL MODELODios nos habla también en su Palabra. En ella tenemos, en líneas más claras, la revelación de su carácter, de su trato con los hombres y de la gran obra de la redención. En ella se nos presenta la historia de los patriarcas, profetas y otros hombres santos de la antigüedad. Ellos estaban sujetos "a las mismas debilidades que nosotros". Santiago 5:17. Vemos cómo lucharon entre descorazonamientos como los nuestros, cómo cayeron bajo tentaciones como hemos caído nosotros y sin embargo cobraron nuevo valor y vencieron por la gracia de Dios, y recordándolos, nos animamos en nuestra lucha por la justicia. Al leer el relato de los preciosos sucesos que se les permitió experimentar, la luz, el amor y la bendición que les tocó gozar y la obra que hicieron por la gracia a ellos dada, el espíritu que los inspiró enciende en nosotros un fuego de santo celo, un deseo de ser como ellos en carácter y de andar con Dios como ellos. El Señor Jesús dijo de las Escrituras del Antiguo Testamento, y cuánto más cierto es esto acerca del Nuevo: "Ellas son las que dan testimonio de mí" (Juan 5:39), el Redentor, Aquel en quien se concentran vuestras esperanzas de la vida eterna. Sí, la Biblia entera nos habla de Cristo. Desde el primer relato de la creación, de la cual se dice: "Sin él nada de lo que es hecho, fue hecho" (Juan 1:3), hasta la última promesa: "¡He aquí, yo vengo presto!" Apocalipsis 22:12. leemos acerca de sus obras y escuchamos su voz. Si deseáis conocer al Salvador, estudiad las Santas Escrituras. Llenad vuestro corazón con las palabras de Dios. Son el agua viva que apaga vuestra sed. Son el pan vivo que descendió del cielo. Jesús declara: "A menos que comáis la carne del Hijo del hombre, y bebáis su sangre, no tendréis vida en vosotros". Y al explicarse, dice: "Las palabras que yo os he hablado espíritu y vida son". Juan 6:53, 63. Nuestros cuerpos viven de lo que comemos y bebernos; y lo que sucede en la vida natural sucede en la espiritual: lo que meditamos es lo que da tono y vigor a nuestra naturaleza espiritual (El camino a Cristo, pp. 87, 88). No hay ninguna cosa mejor para fortalecer la inteligencia que el estudio de las Santas Escrituras. Ningún otro libro es tan potente para elevar los pensamientos, para dar vigor a las facultades, como las grandes y ennoblecedoras verdades de la Biblia. Si se estudiara la Palabra de Dios como se debe, los hombres tendrían una grandeza de espíritu, una nobleza de carácter y una firmeza de propósito que raramente pueden verse en estos tiempos. No se saca sino un beneficio muy pequeño de una lectura precipitada de las Sagradas Escrituras. Uno puede leer toda la Biblia y quedarse, sin embargo, sin ver su belleza o comprender su sentido profundo y oculto. Un pasaje estudiado hasta que su significado nos sea claro y evidentes sus relaciones con el plan de salvación, resulta de mucho más valor que la lectura de muchos capítulos sin un propósito determinado y sin obtener una instrucción positiva. Tened vuestra Biblia a mano. Leedla cuando tengáis oportunidad; fijad los textos en vuestra memoria. Aun al ir por la calle podéis leer un pasaje y meditar en él hasta que se grabe en la mente (El camino a Cristo, pp. 90, 91).

In the world of civil litigation, summary judgment serves as a pivotal mechanism to streamline the legal process. Imagine a scenario where a case is so clear-cut that a trial seems unnecessary. This is where summary judgment comes into play, offering a way to resolve disputes without the need for a full trial.What is Summary Judgment? Summary judgment is a legal procedure where one party seeks to win a case without a trial, arguing that the facts are undisputed and the law is on their side. It is typically requested after the discovery phase, where both parties have exchanged evidence and information.Purpose and Benefits: The primary purpose of summary judgment is to avoid unnecessary trials when there is no genuine issue of material fact. This not only saves time and resources for the court and the parties involved but also provides a quicker resolution to the dispute. As Judge Learned Hand once said, "The purpose of summary judgment is to pierce the pleadings and to assess the proof in order to see whether there is a genuine need for trial."The Process: To succeed in a motion for summary judgment, the moving party must demonstrate that there are no genuine disputes over material facts and that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The opposing party must then show that there is indeed a factual dispute that requires a trial to resolve.Summary judgment is a crucial tool in civil litigation, designed to expedite the legal process and focus resources on cases that truly require a trial. By understanding its purpose and application, parties can better navigate the complexities of the legal system.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the intricacies of civil litigation by subscribing for more insights and updates.summary judgment, civil litigation, legal standards, burden of proof, Solotex Trilogy, evidence, strategic motions, law school, legal writing, oral arguments

Can a “smidgen” of difference sink an advertising claim? A recent class action against Prime energy drink raised that very question after lab tests showed caffeine levels slightly higher than advertised. The court concluded that the overage was not material, reasoning that consumers seeking an energy boost were unlikely to be misled by a few extra milligrams of caffeine. For legal, compliance, and marketing teams, the decision highlights how courts apply the reasonable consumer standard and reminds businesses that even small variances in product claims can invite scrutiny—though not all will prove actionable.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchJUEVES, 28 DE AGOSTOVENGANZADios nos amó con amor indecible, y nuestro amor hacia él aumenta a medida que comprendemos algo de la largura, la anchura, la profundidad y la altura de este amor que excede todo conocimiento. Por la revelación del encanto atractivo de Cristo, por el conocimiento de su amor expresado hacia nosotros cuando aún éramos pecadores, el corazón obstinado se ablanda y se somete, y el pecador se transforma y llega a ser hijo del cielo. Dios no utiliza medidas coercitivas; el agente que emplea para expulsar el pecado del corazón es el amor. Mediante él, convierte el orgullo en humildad, y la enemistad y la incredulidad, en amor y fe. Los judíos habían luchado afanosamente para alcanzar la perfección por sus propios esfuerzos, y habían fracasado. Ya les había dicho Cristo que la justicia de ellos no podría entrar en el reino de los cielos. Ahora les señala el carácter de la justicia que deberán poseer todos los que entren en el cielo. En todo el Sermón del Monte describe los frutos de esta justicia, y ahora en una breve expresión señala su origen y su naturaleza: Sed perfectos como Dios es perfecto. La ley no es más que una transcripción del carácter de Dios. Contemplad en vuestro Padre celestial una manifestación perfecta de los principios que constituyen el fundamento de su gobierno. Dios es amor. Como los rayos de la luz del sol, el amor, la luz y el gozo fluyen de él hacia todas sus criaturas. Su naturaleza es dar. La misma vida de Dios es la manifestación del amor abnegado. Nos pide que seamos perfectos como él, es decir, de igual manera. Debemos ser centros de luz y bendición para nuestro reducido círculo, así como él lo es para el universo. No poseemos nada por nosotros mismos, pero la luz del amor brilla sobre nosotros y hemos de reflejar su resplandor. Buenos gracias al bien proveniente de Dios, podemos ser perfectos en nuestra esfera, así como él es perfecto en la suya. Dijo Jesús: Sed perfectos como vuestro Padre es perfecto. Si sois hijos de Dios, sois participantes de su naturaleza y no podéis menos que asemejaros a él. Todo hijo vive gracias a la vida de su padre. Si sois hijos de Dios, engendrados por su Espíritu, vivís por la vida de Dios. En Cristo "habita corporalmente toda la plenitud de la Divinidad"; y la vida de Jesús se manifiesta "en nuestra carne mortal". Esa vida producirá en nosotros el mismo carácter y manifestará las mismas obras que manifestó en él. Así estaremos en armonía con cada precepto de su ley, porque "la ley de Jehová es perfecta, que convierte el alma". Mediante el amor, "la justicia de la ley" se cumplirá "en nosotros, que no andamos conforme a la carne, sino conforme al Espíritu" Romanos 8:4 (El discurso maestro de Jesucristo, pp. 66-68). VIERNES, 29 DE AGOSTO: PARA ESTUDIAR Y MEDITARLa fe por la cual vivo, 21 de marzo, "Los grandes principios de la ley", p. 88. Alza tus ojos, 7 de octubre, "Confíen en la palabra de Dios", p. 29
Verkaufen an Ärzte – Insider-Tipps und Trends aus der Praxis! Zunächst boomt der Gesundheitsmarkt, denn immer mehr Leistungen wandern in die ambulante Versorgung. Trotzdem wird Verkaufen an Ärzte schwieriger: Klassische Kaltakquise über Außendienst oder Telefon greift immer seltener. Deshalb spreche ich mit HNO-Arzt, Unternehmer und KI-Enthusiast Alvar Mollik darüber, wie du heute wirklich in Praxen reinkommst – und zwar mit relevanten Mehrwerten statt Floskeln. Alvar ist nicht nur praktizierender Arzt, sondern auch Gründer von felia.ai. Die Plattform wiederum bringt einen smarten Sprachassistenten in den Praxisalltag, wodurch Dokumentation einfacher wird und Prozesse messbar schneller laufen. Außerdem analysieren wir, wie sich der Zugang zu Praxen verändert hat und weshalb Vertreter scheitern, wenn sie keinen konkreten Nutzen mitbringen. Die größte Hürde im Praxisbetrieb bleibt Zeit. Zwischen Dokumentation, Abrechnung und Wartezimmer bleibt kaum Raum für Verkaufsgespräche. Genau deshalb punktet KI: Felia verwandelt Sprachaufzeichnungen direkt in strukturierte Arztbriefe, dabei bleibt alles DSGVO-konform. Dadurch erhöhst du den Return on Time der Praxis – und damit deine Abschlusschancen. Außerdem sprechen wir über Gatekeeper: MFA entscheiden häufig, ob du überhaupt durchkommst. Stattdessen mit Druck zu arbeiten, brauchst du Höflichkeit, eine klare Nutzenbotschaft sowie kurze, strukturierte Abläufe. Walk-ins funktionieren weiterhin – wenn du Praxiszeiten respektierst, Material mit echtem Mehrwert dalässt und anschließend einen präzisen Follow-up sicherst. So überwindest du Skepsis: Erstens zeigst du Referenzen aus vergleichbaren Praxen; zweitens bietest du einen Test unter realen Bedingungen an; drittens rechnest du den Zeitgewinn konkret vor. Somit wird ein 10-Minuten-Demo-Call, der täglich 30 Minuten Dokumentation spart, zum No-Brainer. Kurzum: Vertrauen schlägt Features – deshalb lieber Ergebnisse zeigen als Buzzwords. Danach schauen wir nach vorn: Vernetzte Praxissysteme, digitale Patientenakten und Wearables werden Standard. Gleichzeitig bleibt Datenschutz kritisch; daher zählen transparente Prozesse, saubere Auftragsverarbeitung und schneller Support. Wer reibungslos integriert und Störungen minimiert, gewinnt langfristig. Schließlich entscheidet nicht die schönste Demo, sondern die stabile Anwendung im Praxisalltag. Mein Fazit: Willst du im Gesundheitsmarkt wachsen, dann fokussiere dich auf messbaren Nutzen, glasklare Kommunikation und ein kompaktes Onboarding. Damit wird Verkaufen an Ärzte vom Zufallsspiel zum planbaren Prozess. Wenn du Berater, Vertriebler oder Gründer bist, bekommst du in dieser Episode konkrete Schritte, Formulierungen sowie Tools, mit denen du unmittelbar starten kannst.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES, 27 DE AGOSTOOJO POR OJOFue el Creador de los hombres, el Dador de la ley, quien declaró que no albergaba el propósito de anular sus preceptos. Todo en la naturaleza, desde la diminuta partícula que baila en un rayo de sol hasta los astros en los cielos, está sometido a leyes. De la obediencia a estas leyes dependen el orden y la armonía del mundo natural. Es decir que grandes principios de justicia gobiernan la vida de todos los seres inteligentes, y de la conformidad a estos principios depende el bienestar del universo. Antes que se creara la tierra existía la ley de Dios. Los ángeles se rigen por sus principios y, para que este mundo esté en armonía con el cielo, el hombre también debe obedecer los estatutos divinos. Cristo dio a conocer al hombre en el Edén los preceptos de la ley, "cuando alababan todas las estrellas del alba, y se regocijaban todos los hijos de Dios". Job 38:7 La misión de Cristo en la tierra no fue abrogar la ley, sino hacer volver a los hombres por su gracia a la obediencia de sus preceptos... Al hablar de la ley, dijo Jesús: "No he venido para abrogar, sino para cumplir". Aquí usó la palabra "cumplir" en el mismo sentido que cuando declaró a Juan el Bautista su propósito de "cumplir toda justicia", (Mateo 3:15) es decir, llenar la medida de lo requerido por la ley, dar un ejemplo de conformidad perfecta con la voluntad de Dios.Su misión era "magnificar la ley y engrandecerla". Isaías 42:21. Debía enseñar la espiritualidad de la ley, presentar sus principios de vasto alcance y explicar claramente su vigencia perpetua (El discurso maestro de Jesucristo, pp. 45, 46). Dado que la ley del Señor es perfecta y, por lo tanto, inmutable, es imposible que los hombres pecaminosos satisfagan por sí mismos la medida de lo que requiere. Por eso vino Jesús como nuestro Redentor. Era su misión, al hacer a los hombres participes de la naturaleza divina, ponerlos en armonía con los principios de la ley del cielo. Cuando renunciamos a nuestros pecados y recibimos a Cristo como nuestro Salvador, la ley es ensalzada. Pregunta el apóstol Pablo: "¿Luego por la fe invalidamos la ley? En ninguna manera, sino que confirmamos la ley" Romanos 3:31. La promesa del nuevo pacto es: "Pondré mis leyes en sus corazones, y en sus mentes las escribiré". Hebreos 10:16. Mientras que con la muerte de Cristo iba a desaparecer el sistema de los símbolos que señalaban a Cristo como Cordero de Dios que iba a quitar el pecado del mundo, los principios de justicia expuestos en el Decálogo son tan inmutables como el trono eterno. No se ha suprimido un mandamiento, ni una jota o una tilde se ha cambiado. Estos principios que se comunicaron a los hombres en el paraíso como la ley suprema de la vida existirán sin sombra de cambio en el paraíso restaurado. Cuando el Edén vuelva a florecer en la tierra, la ley de amor dada por Dios será obedecida por todos debajo del sol (El discurso maestro de Jesucristo, p. 47).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES, 26 DE AGOSTOEL PLAN ORIGINAL DE DIOSAhora bien, mientras señalamos al pecador a Jesucristo como el que quita el pecado, debemos explicarle lo que es el pecado y mostrarle la necesidad de ser salvo de sus pecados, no en su pecado. Hay que hacerle sentir que debe dejar de transgredir la ley de Dios, que es dejar de pecar. Pablo hace la pregunta muchos años después de la muerte de Cristo: "¿La ley es pecado? En ninguna manera. Pero yo no conocí el pecado sino por la ley; porque tampoco conociera la codicia, si la ley no dijera: No codiciarás". Pablo exalta así la ley moral. Cuando esta ley se practica en la vida cotidiana, se descubre que es la sabiduría de Dios. Sirve para detectar el pecado. Descubre los defectos del carácter moral, y a la luz de la ley el pecado se vuelve excesivamente pecaminoso, revelando su verdadero carácter en toda su repugnancia. La ley de Dios dada en el Sinaí es una copia de la mente y la voluntad del Dios infinito. Los santos ángeles la reverencian como sagrada. Sus requisitos perfeccionarán el carácter cristiano y restaurarán al hombre, mediante Cristo, a la condición en que se encontraba antes de la caída. Los pecados prohibidos por la ley, nunca podrán encontrar lugar en el cielo. Fue el amor de Dios al hombre lo que lo indujo a expresar su voluntad en los diez preceptos del Decálogo. Y cuando, a causa del pecado, se oscureció el entendimiento del hombre, Dios descendió sobre el monte Sinaí, pronunció su ley con voz audible y la escribió en tablas de piedra. Después manifestó su amor al hombre enviando profetas y maestros para que declarasen su ley. Dios le ha dado al hombre en su ley una regla completa para la vida. Si obedece, vivirá por ello, mediante los méritos de Cristo. Si la transgrede, tiene poder para condenar. La ley envía a los hombres a Cristo, y Cristo les señala la ley (The Review and Herald, 27 de septiembre, 1881, párr. 16-19; parcialmente en Nuestra elevada vocación, p. 140). Los cananeos habían colmado la medida de su iniquidad, y el Señor ya no podía tolerarlos. Ahora que les había retirado su protección, iban a resultar una presa fácil. El pacto de Dios había prometido la tierra a Israel. Pero el falso informe de los espías infieles fue aceptado, y todo el pueblo fue engañado por él. Los traidores habían realizado su obra. Aun cuando solo dos hombres hubiesen dado malas noticias y los otros diez lo hubiesen animado a poseer la tierra en el nombre del Señor, el pueblo, por su perversa incredulidad, habría seguido el consejo de los dos en preferencia al de los diez. Pero eran solo dos los que abogaban por lo justo, mientras que diez estaban de parte de la rebelión (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 410, 411).
Material wealth and abundance in this world are not the same as the blessings we experience in God's Kingdom. Our God is a faithful and generous provider, and we can trust Him to meet our needs. This is true for us as individuals, and it's true on a larger scale – for our churches and even our nations. As Pastor Dan will point out, when a nation operates in a way that honors God – marked by love, compassion, and righteous living, we can expect to experience the blessing of His divine providence.

What if Flight MH370 wasn't just lost, but simply became hidden from view? In this episode with controversial youtuber Ashton Forbes, we take the mystery seriously: not as magic, but as a challenge to what we think we know about plasma, quantum mechanics, and fusion. The question isn't about belief, but about possibility: if teleportation happened, what physical mechanisms could explain it? We're at the edge of reason for this one, where mystery bashes up again rationality.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs09Ashton's YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCHmFQzkpaJBSDD1PPFhPPSg 00:00 Go!

Marco Wanda ist Rockmusiker und Kopf der österreichischen Indie-Pop-Band Wanda. In seinem ersten Buch «Dass es uns überhaupt gegeben hat» schaut er auf eine 14-jährige Bandgeschichte mit allen Höhen und Tiefen zurück, die es im Rock'n'Roll geben kann. Der Weg zum Erfolg war lang und steinig. Zwei Jahre bestand er darin, Songs zu schreiben, ohne zu wissen, ob sie jemals ein Publikum erreichen würden. Doch als die Band dann zusammen war und loslegen konnte, hatte sie genug Material für zwei ganze Alben. Und dann ging's ganz schnell. Nach ersten Auftritten in Szenenlokalen am Wiener Gürtel folgten Konzerte vor zehntausenden von Menschen im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum. Dazu Auszeichnungen und Ehrungen wie keine österreichische Formation vor ihnen. Doch der Preis für den Erfolg war hoch. Alkohol und Drogen, das allmähliche Ausbrennen der einzelnen Bandmitglieder, heftige Schicksalsschläge. Mittlerweile hat sich die Band gefangen. Man redet wieder miteinander. Und Marco Wanda hat ein Buch über seine Geschichte mit Wanda geschrieben, das sehr viel mehr ist als ein Buch über einer Rock'n'Roll-Band. Die Musiktitel: Einspieler: Wanda – Meine beide Schwestern 1. Der Nino aus Wien – Winter im April 2. Nirwana – Come As You Are 3. The Beatles – Ticket to Ride 4. Oasis – Live Forever 5.

In this episode, Milton Justice explores the critical concept of matching your acting choices to the specific material you're working with. Using examples from his recent work with students, Milton demonstrates how actors often make the mistake of building relationships and emotions that don't serve the genre or tone of their project. He discusses a student working on a romantic comedy whose choices weren't serving the genre, and another student writing a letter for "All My Sons" that was intellectually brilliant but wrong for the character. Milton emphasizes that while connection exercises are important for learning technique, actors must understand the form they're working in - whether it's a complex play like "All My Sons," a simple TV procedural, or a romantic comedy. He also shares insights about his upcoming acting studio in NYC and reflects on his experience directing "The Glass Menagerie."www.theactorlab.nycwww.idontneedanactingclass.com

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 642, And It's About How To Know If It's Time To Raise Your Rates Without Losing Clients A Practical Guide for Contractors Who Want to Stay Profitable—Without Scaring Off Business If you're like most small construction business owners, you've probably had this thought: "I'm working non-stop, but I'm still barely keeping up—should I raise my prices?" And then right after that, the fear kicks in: "What if I lose clients? What if no one can afford me anymore?" As construction bookkeeping specialists, we hear this frequently. Contractors are nervous to raise their rates because they worry it'll cost them jobs or damage their reputation. But here's the truth: Raising your rates isn't about greed—it's about survival. In this post, we'll guide you through understanding when it's time to increase your rates, how to do it without losing your best clients, and how your books can provide the data and confidence to price with clarity. Why Contractors Hesitate to Raise Rates Let's start with the everyday fears: "My clients won't pay more." "I'll lose out to cheaper competition." "What if I price myself out of the market?" These fears are common, but often based on assumptions rather than data. Low rates can hurt your business more than help it. They lead to: Burnout from overwork Poor-quality clients who expect a lot and pay late Inability to reinvest in tools, help, or marketing Projects that cost more than they bring in So let's flip the script. Instead of fearing a rate increase, let's explore how to raise with purpose—and use facts, not fear, to guide your pricing. 1. Start with Job Costing Before raising rates, you need to know one thing clearly: Are you actually making money on your jobs? Job costing is the process of tracking: Labor hours (including your own!) Material and supply costs Subcontractor fees Equipment and tool usage Permits, dump runs, gas, insurance A share of your overhead (office, truck, phone, software) Once you tally this up, compare it to what you charged. If you're seeing slim margins—or worse, negative ones—you're undercharging. Bookkeeper's Tip: Start by reviewing your last 5–10 jobs. Break them down into: Estimated vs. actual cost Hours quoted vs. hours worked Gross profit (before overhead) Net profit (after overhead) Even a simple spreadsheet can help you see which jobs are winners—and which ones need a pricing tune-up. 2. Watch for These Signs - It's Time to Raise Rates Still unsure? Here are seven signs it's time to raise your prices: 1. You're booked out for weeks (or months) This means demand is high, and your pricing may be too low. If people are lining up, a modest increase won't deter them. 2. You're working too hard for too little If you're exhausted, working weekends, and still not taking home enough, your rate is too low. Period. 3. You haven't raised your prices in over a year Material costs, fuel, insurance, and labor have all increased. If your rates haven't changed, you're likely absorbing the difference. 4. Your quality has improved Are you more skilled than when you started? Do you offer better results, smoother communication, or cleaner job sites? Then you should be charging for it. 5. You're attracting low-quality clients If you constantly deal with haggling, late payments, or poor communication, your pricing is attracting bargain hunters rather than quality clients. 6. Your tools, overhead, and team cost more Running a legit business costs money. If you're licensed, insured, and invest in quality, your rates should reflect that. 7. You're turning away work If you're saying no to jobs because you're too busy, that's a strong sign it's time to raise your prices and focus on higher-value projects. 3. How to Raise Rates Without Losing Good Clients You don't need to double your rates overnight or announce a price hike in bold letters. Here's how to do it strategically and professionally: A. Start with New Clients This is the easiest path. Quote your new price to new inquiries in the future. They won't know the old rate, so there's no resistance. B. Add Value, Not Just Cost When raising rates, remind clients of what they're getting: Better project management Faster turnaround Clearer communication Higher quality materials Insured and dependable work Frame your pricing as an investment, not just a fee. C. Offer Tiers or Packages For price-sensitive clients, offer a few levels of service: Basic (bare-bones scope) Standard (your usual full-service) Premium (extras like design, faster turnaround, etc.) This helps clients self-select based on budget without forcing you to underprice your work. D. Phase In Rate Increases If you work with repeat clients, give them a heads-up: "Due to rising material and labor costs, I'll be increasing my hourly/project rates starting [date]. I wanted to let you know in advance so we can plan accordingly." Most reasonable clients will understand, especially if you've consistently delivered value. 4. Use Pricing Psychology to Your Advantage Pricing is part math, part mindset. Here are a few tactics to make your price increases feel smoother: Avoid round numbers Instead of $1,000, say $1,175 or $3,950. It feels more calculated, not random. Anchor with options Show your higher price next to a more expensive (or less valuable) one. This frames your offer as the "just right" choice. Include a price breakdown. Show labor, materials, subs, overhead—so clients understand what goes into your rate. Be confident Clients can sense uncertainty. If you hesitate or over-explain, it creates doubt. Quote clearly and stand behind your values. 5. Track What Happens Next After you raise rates, keep an eye on: Win/loss rate (are fewer clients saying yes?) Job profitability (are you keeping more after costs?) Client satisfaction (any change in feedback or reviews?) Hours worked vs. income (are you earning more with less hustle?) Often, you'll find you're getting fewer clients, but better ones. And that's the goal: less chaos, more profit, and more control over your schedule. Final Thoughts You Deserve to Be Paid for What You're Worth You started your business to build freedom, not to be overworked and underpaid. Raising your rates isn't risky when data, systems, and experience back it. It's a sign of growth and professionalism. The right clients will respect it, and you'll finally start seeing the kind of income and balance your hard work deserves. Need Help Understanding Your Numbers Before You Raise Rates? As a construction bookkeeping specialist, we help contractors: Break down job costs Analyze profit margins Clean up financials Set pricing that actually works As we always say, Contractors like you deserve to be wealthy because you bring value to other people's lives. You don't need more jobs. You need the right jobs at the correct rate. Let's get you there.
