I. The design of a priest's ministry is to enable others to dedicate themselves to God with thanksgiving for what God has done for them, vv14-15. II. The daily bread of a priest's ministry is provided for by God out of the gifts of the people of God, vv16-18. III. The demand of a priest's ministry is that he daily dedicate himself to God just as the people of God dedicate themselves to God, vv19-23. IV. The danger of a priest's ministry is that he become joyless and thankless in his service of God and the people of God, vv19-23.

Conflict TV produced in Philipstown "Conflict is inevitable, but combat is a choice." That's the message the Dispute Resolution Center, which serves four counties, including Putnam, wants to convey to residents of the Highlands through a new, locally produced television series, Conflict TV. The nonprofit provides mediation services, usually at no cost, to help those dealing with strife, from divorce or separation to disputes between landlords and tenants, co-workers, classmates, family members or neighbors. Conflict TV's first two, 28-minute episodes are posted at youtube.com/@ConflictTV and will be shown on cable Channel 22 in Philipstown and Channel 21 in Beacon. Juan Carlos Salcedo, president of the DRC board, is the senior producer. The show is hosted by James Rollins, the founder and senior pastor of The Tabernacle Church in Middletown, who has been a mediator for 16 years. Each episode features guests who share practical mediation techniques and case studies. "We showcase real-life stories, demonstrating how dialogue can lead to meaningful, lasting transformation," said Salcedo. He produces the series in his Philipstown studio, where he also hosts The DNA of the News, which is broadcast to Spanish-speaking countries. "Our target audience is intentionally broad because conflict touches every stage of life, from teenagers to senior citizens," Salcedo said of Conflict TV. Miriam Frankl, the DRC executive director, says that even when parties can't reach an agreement through mediation, "they often report reduced tension and greater understanding of the issues. And judges see less contention in cases that go to trial." Mediators come from a variety of backgrounds, including law, social work, education and human resources. "There are no background or career requirements to be an effective mediator," she said. "One of our mediators is a former postal worker." Last year, the DRC helped 1,700 residents of Putnam, Orange, Ulster and Sullivan counties mediate conflicts. The nonprofit is funded largely by the New York state court system and is part of a network created in 1981 that covers the entire state. Services are free except for divorce mediation and some large-group facilitations. The DRC that serves Putnam and the three other counties has 35 volunteer mediators who received months of training, Frankl said. The Dispute Resolution Center has an office in Carmel. For more information, see drcservices.org or call 845-372-8771. In Beacon, mediation is provided by the Mediation Center of Dutchess County (dutchessmediation.org).

Modern wars are supposed to end with victory, defeat, or peace. But what if that entire idea is outdated? In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo examines two wars, two mediators, and two uneasy truces through the lens of game theory and geopolitical strategy. Why do some conflicts drag on despite overwhelming force, endless diplomacy, and public promises of resolution? From Iran's long-game survival strategy to the grinding realities of Ukraine, Jack explores a controversial argument gaining traction among strategists: modern conflict may be governed less by politics and more by cold mathematical equilibrium. If today's ceasefires are not endings but carefully managed stalemates, are world leaders solving crises or simply learning to live with them?

Was die Aussenministerinnen und -minister der Mitgliedstaaten des Europarates beschlossen haben, wirkt zunächst unspektakulär. Doch die «Deklaration von Chişinău» könnte die europäische Migrationspolitik verändern und menschenrechtliche Standards im Umgang mit Zuwanderung relativieren. Weitere Themen: Die Affäre um Andrii Jermak erschüttert die Ukraine: Der einstige Vertraute von Präsident Selenski muss weitere zwei Monate in Haft bleiben. Der Korruptionsverdacht wirft Fragen auf und belastet auch den Präsidenten. Der Ton wird rauer, in der Politik wie im Alltag. Konflikte landen oft vor Gericht. Doch es gibt Alternativen: Mediation setzt auf Gespräch statt Streit. Wie das funktioniert, zeigt ein Blick auf die Arbeit eines Mediators.

Most of us have been trained to see the body in silos: diagnose the problem, treat the symptom, move on. But what if that model is missing the bigger picture?In this episode of The Ready State Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Bland – widely recognized as the father of functional medicine – joins Juliet and Kelly Starrett to unpack a more complete, systems-based approach to health. From a simple (and surprisingly accessible) blood test that can reveal your inflammatory status, to the real role of inflammation as both a healing response and a hidden driver of chronic disease, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about “being healthy.”Dr. Bland also shares the deeply personal story that reshaped his entire career and led him to question conventional medicine's focus on downstream symptoms instead of root causes.You'll walk away understanding why everyday choices – like sugar intake, sleep, stress, and even your sense of self-agency – play a far bigger role in longevity than most people realize. Because at the end of the day, health is something you actively create.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy chronic inflammation is both a healing response and a hidden driver of diseaseHow a standard blood test (CBC) can reveal your body's inflammatory stateThe difference between treating symptoms vs. addressing root causes (upstream vs. downstream health)Why your body is a system – and not a set of isolated problems to fixHow everyday habits like sugar intake, stress, and sleep quietly accelerate agingKey Highlights: (0:00) Intro & Teaser Clips(0:35) Introducing Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Father of Functional Medicine(3:11) Dr. Bland Joins the Show / Earth Day Connection(3:50) How Dr. Bland's Career Began in 1970(7:33) What's Most Urgent for People to Understand About Health Today(9:13) Systems Thinking vs. Siloed Medicine(12:43) A Seismic Life Event That Changed Everything(15:19) Finding Purpose After Tragedy — The Birth of a Mission(17:35) Origins of the Term "Functional Medicine"(19:03) Functional Medicine in The Lancet — 1874(31:15) Understanding Good vs. Chronic Inflammation(38:30) The Ibuprofen Epidemic in Youth Athletes(39:59) The Functional Medicine Model: Antecedents, Triggers & Mediators(42:47) Big Bold Health & Testing for Inflammaging(43:33) The CBC with Differential — A $6 Test Everyone Already Has(45:08) The SIRI Index — Calculating Your Inflammatory Status(46:25) Immune Cells Renew Every 90–120 Days(56:03) The 850-Person Clinical Trial on Food & Immune Health(56:56) Tartary Buckwheat — A 3,500-Year-Old Immune Superfood(1:02:57) The Healthcare System Isn't Working — A Seismic Change Is Coming(1:08:13) Rapid Fire: Blue Zones & Eating a Rainbow of Polyphenols(1:09:47) The #1 Lever for Aging Well — Starting With How You See Yourself(1:10:56) Where to Find Dr. Jeff Bland & Closing ThoughtsHuge thanks to our sponsors, Kreatures of Habit, LMNT, and Momentous.

Divorce and separation are often a time of upset and distress. Ella Al-Shamahi talks to women in Latvia and the UK whose work as mediators is about trying to find calm and co-operation in conflict.Evija Kļave is a certified mediator and sociologist. She's also an associate professor teaching mediation at masters level at Turiba University (a business school) and sits of the Commission of Certification and Attestation of Mediators which regulates mediators in Latvia as well as running her own private practice.Romina Kamran is an accredited family and children mediator in the UK and member of the Family Mediation Council. She also heads the National Family Mediation training academy. Her own experience of divorce negotiations was tough, and she works to make decisions around separation ones that both parties can be comfortable with. She says mediation is not about being what one person might consider fair; it's about coming to a resolution that meets the needs of the whole family.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Evija Kļave, courtesy Turiba University.

This podcast conversation goes into a corner of the legal industry that quietly runs on trust, process control, and confidentiality: alternative dispute resolution. With this topic on the agenda, it's a pleasure to welcome to the Legal Tech StartUp Focus podcast, Gary Doernhoefer, founder of ADR Notable (https://www.adrnotable.com).Gary brings the perspective of a longtime in-house counsel, to what mediators and arbitrators actually do day-to-day, and also to the question of why “case management software” built for law firm advocacy often misses the mark for neutrals. Gary talks about several important ADR-related topics: the real workflow pain, the need to schedule across multiple parties, the necessity of secure communications, the management of curated document sets, the importance of structured note-taking, and the surprisingly tricky problem of splitting invoices between parties.In addition to discussing ADR, Gary shares candid advice for legal tech startup leaders. Here, Gary focuses on timing and product-market fit, especially when you have to spend too long explaining why buyers need the tool in the first place. If you care about mediation software, arbitration platforms, and ADR case management, you'll leave this podcast episode with practical insight and a clearer lens on what “value” for ADR really means.

Send us Fan MailThe truth is—most professionals don't fall short because they lack skill. They fall short because of how they operate. In this episode, we break down what the legal and mediation industry is consistently seeing: the gap between busy professionals and those building strong, growing practices is not about knowledge—it's about habits. You'll hear the eight patterns that show up repeatedly in top lawyers, mediators, and divorce professionals, from how they think and make decisions to how they manage their time, relationships, and consistency. If you've been working hard but your practice still feels unpredictable, this episode will challenge how you approach your work—and show you where small shifts in how you operate can lead to very different results over time.What you'll learn:01:46 Eight Habits Overview03:10 Self Competition06:41 Constant Learning09:52 How to Deliver Value First13:29 The Power of Listening First16:25 Strategic Thinking18:44 Protect Time Focus22:16 Discipline Over Motivation25:19 Build RelationshipsResources:Download Free Guide: How Lawyers and Mediators Can Attract More Ideal Clients: https://sgandassociates.ca/free-guide/ Feeling stuck about how to grow your practice, book a free strategy call here.#62 Attract Clients: The "Serve First" Secret #74 How Top Professionals Market Their Practices Without Lifting A Finger #36 How To Turn Leads Into Loyal ClientsRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts"Love listening and learning from the Serve First, Sell Later Marketing Podcast”  If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!

In today's episode, you'll discover: The neuroscience behind techniques to quiet the brain's emotional centers, allowing you to manage strong, angry emotions while remaining calm. How to apply emotional literacy and de-escalation skills in any volatile situation in 90 seconds or less. The importance of empathy and how you may have a cultural misunderstanding of what empathy really is. To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Shifu Kanishka Sharma: "You train to become a Warrior, not a fighter.  The Warrior knows the hell he can let loose, so he chooses the path of peace and respect." About Doug Noll: After a 20-year, highly successful career as a commercial trial lawyer, Doug earned his Master's in Peacemaking and Conflict Management and became a high-conflict mediator/peacemaker. (As a Distinguished Fellow of the International Academy of Mediators, he is recognized among the top commercial mediators globally.) In 2010, at the request of a small group of women serving life and long-term sentences at what was then the largest and most violent women's prison in the world, Valley State Prison for Women in Chowchilla, CA, Doug and his colleague, Laurel Kaufer, began Prison of Peace.

Mediators gather in Pakistan to push for an end to the Iran war. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Trump extended his deadline on striking Iran's power plants, but no one really knows if there is progress on peace talks. Mediators report a vibe that despite the rhetoric coming out of Iran there is interest in ending this war. Meanwhile Trump's public attempts to calm the markets won't work, and the economic damage from this conflict will last long after it concludes. Will Trump agree to any of Iran's demands, including sole Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz? How will the Gulf States react to a rushed diplomatic solution? Janice worries that the outcome of this war will do the opposite of what was intended, with Iran sprinting towards a nuclear bomb to protect itself against future aggression. Both countries need to make a calculation: are the costs of continuing greater than the benefits of stopping the war?

A.M. Edition for Mar. 25. Mediators are pushing for a meeting between U.S. and Iranian officials as early as tomorrow in the hopes of ending the war in the coming days. However, WSJ Middle East correspondent Benoit Faucon says the two sides remain far apart, as Washington repeats a number of longstanding demands.

And the toymaker behind the Labubu craze reports blockbuster earnings, but investors aren't amused. Luke Vargas hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

Simon's live update for LBC, with Henry Riley presenting.

When emotions spike, leadership is no longer theoretical — it's neurological. In Episode 687 of Daily Influence, Brian Smith sits down with conflict resolution expert Doug Noll, Distinguished Fellow of the International Academy of Mediators, co-founder of Prison of Peace, Adjunct Professor at Pepperdine University's Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, and author of the bestselling book De‑Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less. After 20 years as a commercial trial lawyer, Doug shifted from fighting conflict to transforming it — including teaching emotional literacy inside one of the most violent maximum-security prisons in the United States. What he discovered is simple, counterintuitive, and backed by neuroscience: Ignore the words. Name the emotions. Reflect them back. In this conversation, Doug and Brian explore: Why conflict is fundamentally about the need to be heard and validated What happens in the brain when tension rises — and why logic fails under stress How leaders can regulate nervous systems before attempting to solve problems Why empathy is not a feeling, but a leadership skill How de-escalation becomes responsible influence in a divided world If you lead a team, manage clients, raise children, or simply want stronger relationships, this episode offers practical tools that can transform how you show up under pressure. Authority can silence people. Position can override people. But influence regulates emotion before it directs behavior. The question is: when emotions rise… do you escalate — or do you stabilize?Be sure to check out the exclusive web page for Daily Influence listeners at dougnoll.co/influence

Why is God's holiness so important? We discuss this and more on this week's episode on Leviticus 8-10 and 21-22.

As we jump into week two in our Lent series in Leviticus, we are confronted with the question: How can sinful humans offer sacrifices to a holy God and be forgiven? The answer is through a mediator, which is through the initiative of God. The priests of the tribe of Levi were holy (set apart) for this exact purpose, and their lives had to reflect their calling and their purpose. Today, we don't have priests, because we have our great High Priest in Jesus, who was and is a holy mediator on our behalf. He has made us holy and keeps us holy, so that we then can represent God's holiness and grace to the world around us as the holy priesthood that exists in Christ.
