Disciple Up #290 Christian Baby Boomers Want Change Too By Louie Marsh, 1-12-2023   Here's some excerpts from the article I read and commented on in this podcast…   https://broward.us/2023/01/04/christian-boomers-like-me-want-change-too/   Christian Boomers Like Me Want Change Too Some of us are working to change the unhealthy evangelical church culture we helped create. MICHELLE VAN LOON | JANUARY 4, 2023   In the last couple of decades, American Christian boomers (myself included) have been given an advance peek at the kind of obituary the church and the world has already begun to write about us.   Not all these critiques are made in good faith—whether they're from political scientists, sociologists, op-ed writers, exvangelicals, or from the generations born before and after us—but a surprising majority of them are.   For example, CT's Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast details the leadership failure and organizational implosion of the church franchise led by Mark Driscoll. And while Driscoll himself was a Gen X pastor, Mars Hill was nourished in the soil cultivated by boomer megachurch leader culture.   In a CT piece earlier this year, “The Church Is Losing Its Gray Heads,” Adam MacInnis offered a snapshot of many boomers who've exited the church building, even though “just under half of Christians over 40 who stop attending church feel they're still practicing their faith.” Like some members of the younger generations, many boomers still love Jesus, but not the local churches they once attended.   The late Phyllis Tickle famously observed that the church engages in a kind of spiritual rummage sale that every 500 years or so—and in these times of “rearrangement and upheaval,” the “institutionalized church throws off things that are restricting its growth,” which allows a “more vital form of Christianity” to arise in the aftermath.   Michael Metzger of the Clapham Institute summed it up well: “To date, our legacy as Baby Boomers is indulgence, narcissism, and moralism. If we are to emerge as wise elders, our view of faith, fame and forever ought to migrate from Boomer biases to a more biblical Christianity.”   For one, Boomers played an outsized role in encouraging greater authenticity in the church.   We learned from our culture in the 1960s to let it all hang out. As that messaging filtered through the church in subsequent decades, it became more acceptable to share our struggles and questions in Christian community.   The unwritten rule of the churches I attended back then was that it was only acceptable to talk about your struggles if they happened before you were a Christian. SNL star Dana Carvey's Church Lady character may have exaggerated church life for comic effect during the 1980s, but too many congregations back then seemed to encourage a religious facade.   Secondly, boomers have helped lead the movement toward both destigmatization and education of mental health issues in many evangelical streams.   There's still much work to be done in how the church embraces mental health issues, but it has certainly come a long way over the past few decades.   Third, many boomers have joined, and in some cases are leading, the effort to create safe communities for those who have experienced church abuse.   Christian social media can be a cesspool of conspiracy theory, bullying, and wacky theological hot takes. But it has also been an essential connection point for survivors of abusive leaders or toxic congregations.   In The Four Loves, C. S. Lewis said that “the typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, ‘What? You too? I thought I was the only one.'” Social media has created powerful fellowship as survivors discover they aren't the only ones—and this has brought them together to drag into the light what has festered in the dark corners of the church.   Finally, many boomers are exhibiting a growing distaste for evangelical leader culture.   Perhaps the boom bubble in churches built around the pastor-as-CEO or spiritual Ted Talk gurus hasn't quite burst, but it seems to be deflating—and few seem interested in reviving it.   While mostly anecdotal, I hear regularly from boomers who have been burned or are burned out from their nondenominational megachurches. Many are seeking simpler, more organic forms of gathering with other believers for worship and fellowship—or they're finding their way into churches with formal liturgy and denominational structures.   And while we boomers of faith won't be around to see how things unfold in the larger movement, we can spend the time we have left rewriting our own obituary.   This rewriting begins with the kind of unflinching humility prescribed in James 4:7–10—wherein we humbly submit ourselves to God and trust that he will uphold us. Only this heart posture will allow us to own our specific sins while recognizing the impact our generation's proclivities have had on those who come after us.   Michelle Van Loon is the author of seven books, including Becoming Sage: Cultivating Meaning, Purpose, and Spirituality in Midlife.

Vous vous en êtes sans doute rendu compte, mais on aime bien vous présenter des innovations parfois décalées en terme de batterie dans ce podcast. Ceci dit, dans ce domaine, l'un des champions incontesté reste Tesla. En effet l'entreprise d'Elon Musk a littéralement révolutionné le milieu des voitures électriques en proposant une autonomie bien supérieure à ses concurrents. Sur ce point, il faut savoir que Tesla possède son propre centre de recherche ouvert en juin 2016 au Canada : le Tesla Advanced Battery Research (TABR). En partenariat avec l'université de Dalhousie en Nouvelle-Écosse, ce centre compte notamment parmi ses professeurs et chercheurs un certain Jeff Dahn, pionnier mondialement reconnu sur la question des batteries lithium-ion. Avec ses équipes, ce dernier aurait mis au point un batterie capable de tenir un siècle !C'est dans un article publié dans la revue Journal of the Electromechanical Society qui Jeff Dahn et son collègue Michael Metzger ont fait cette annonce. Leurs travaux, cofinancés par Tesla, n'ont pas eu recours aux habituels matériaux présent dans les batteries. Si le lithium était toujours l'un des composants de base, les chercheurs ont également utilisé du nickel, du manganèse, du cobalt et dy graphite, le tout je cite « à un faible voltage d'environ 3,8 volts ». Ces nouvelles cellules baptisées NMC532 ont rendu des résultats très prometteurs d'après Jeff Dahn et son équipe. Tout d'abord, à des températures de 40, 55 et même 70°C, la densité énergétique de leur batterie était supérieure à celle des cellules d'une batterie classique, tout comme les cycles de vie. Enfin, les pertes au fils des charges étaient elles aussi réduites.Avec de tels résultats, qui sont un peu abstraits et compliqués à comprendre je vous l'accorde mais très bien détaillés dans l'article si cela vous intéresse -le lien est dans la description du podcast- et bien les chercheurs du TABR estiment que leur modèle de batterie pourrait dépasser les cent ans de vie. Rien que ça. La clé d'une telle longévité d'après eux semble se trouver dans l'utilisation d'un électrolyte à base de sel de Lithium. Prochaine étape pour les équipes de Jeff Dahn, travailler sur un adaptation à la recharge rapide. Reste à savoir ce qu'Elon Musk décidera de faire avec cette avancée tout de même très intéressante. Si la question de la capacité de stockage n'a pas été évoquée, c'est avant tout parce que le travail des chercheurs portait sur la durée de vie de la batterie. À l'heure où l'électrique se généralise et où le recyclage des batteries pose un vrai problème, rallonger leur durée de vie ne peut être rien d'autre qu'un atout pour soulager l'environnement.  L'article : https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/1945-7111/ac67b5/pdf Hébergé par Acast.

What’s more exciting is the design direction Kia is apparently about to take." says Jalopnik: "The first of Kia’s new electric vehicles will be a “crossover-inspired” design, which just means it’ll be a crossover coupe from the looks of the teaser images. The cars will be built on the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that Kia shares with Hyundai Motor Group.  Kia claims this first model will boast a range of 500 km, or around 300 miles, and be capable of charging in 20 minutes."   Also: a practical commuter, midsize crossover, a dynamic machine, a long and elegant sedan, and three commercial vehicles.   https://jalopnik.com/kia-teases-7-future-evs-and-they-already-look-like-winn-1846066947   PEUGEOT 208 TO GO ALL-ELECTRIC "Peugeot CEO Jean-Phillipe Imparato has confirmed to Auto Express that the next generation of B-segment Peugeots, replacing the current 208 and 2008, will only be available with electric power." writes Steve Fowler: "The existing 208 and 2008, including e-208 and e-2008 versions, were only launched in 2019 and are available with petrol, diesel or electric power. The decision to go fully electric for the next generation of Peugeot small cars has been boosted by current sales of electrified models"   Read more from Auto Express: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/354054/next-generation-peugeot-208-go-all-electric     SKODA STARTS DELIVERING ENYAQ EV ŠKODA AUTO delivered a total of 1,004,800 vehicles to customers in 2020, surpassing the one-million-delivery mark for the seventh year in a row.

"Tesla disrupted the automotive world by showing electric cars could be high-performance, desirable machines. Elon Musk even said his main goal was to make other car companies follow Tesla’s path before becoming the most valuable car company in the world. We have no idea if Musk still has the same motto, but European EV sales numbers show his wish was granted. More than that, it reveals the disruptor might have been disrupted." writes InsideEVs: "Tesla started dominating the EV market in Europe by October 2019.  Between August 2020 and September 2020, Tesla was surpassed by the alliance and also by the Volkswagen Group. The VW ID.3 was introduced at the beginning of September, and sales kept rising for the German automaker and Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi.  Tesla ended 2020 with around 96,000 cars sold in Europe, a number that was pretty close to that Hyundai and Kia presented, at about 95,000 units. Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi sold around 135,000 EVs, and the Volkswagen Group hit 175,000 electric cars sold last year."   https://insideevs.com/news/466564/was-tesla-disrupted-traditional-carmakers-europe/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles   TESLA AND DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY INK NEW RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP DEAL "Tesla is renewing its industrial research partnership with the Jeff Dahn lab at Dalhousie University for a second five-year term, with preeminent lithium-ion battery scientist Dahn still at the helm" says Electric Autonomy Canada: "he Tesla-Jeff Dahn-Dalhousie alliance, one of the most watched research contracts in the cleantech world, today announced a new deal for a second five-year term taking the relationship until at least 2026. The extension — with lab head Jeff Dahn remaining in his post as NSERC/Tesla Canada Inc. Industrial Research Chair and the Canada Research Chair in Materials for Advanced Batteries — sees the addition of two new chairholders: Dr. Chonyin Yang as Tesla Canada Research Chair and Dr. Michael Metzger as Herzberg-Dahn Chair. When Electric Autonomy Canada contacted Dahn this morning, he simply added, “The team is awesome.”"   https://electricautonomy.ca/2021/01/18/tesla-dalhousie-university-jeff-dahn/   TESLA 4680 ‘MILLION-MILE’ BATTERY IS ALREADY HERE "January 17, Tesla posted a new video inviting experts to join its battery cell team. The video was accompanied by the song, ‘Honey Bee’ by Don Hinton, in which the cherished words "walk a million miles" ring out. This has become a great Easter egg that indicates the company's success in developing a million-mile battery." says Tesmanian: "Jeff Dahn, shared some details of his research during an Energy Storage & Sustainable Engineering videoconference. Dahn revealed that, after three years of testing, he found that his cells had a lifespan of over two million miles. He has tested his battery over 20,000 cycles at a depth of charge-discharge of 100%, and found that his battery can last 15,000 cycles and still have 90% of its capacity. If we multiply 15,000 by his estimated driving range of 217 miles, we get 3.25 million miles in the worst-case scenario"   https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/teslas-4680-batteries-that-will-last-a-million-miles-are-already-here   ROLLS-ROYCE SILENT SHADOW PLANNED AS ULTRA HIGH-END EV? "Rolls is about to begin actual work on its first battery-powered model. Autocar reports the British company is preparing a standalone EV, the first details for which should be unveiled before the year’s end. Don’t expect a full reveal until later this decade though." according to Motor1.com: "Rolls-Royce already has an all-electric Phantom prototype but it is believed the final product won’t be integrated into the existing Phantom model range. Instead, Rolls wants to launch a brand new model and the Phantom EV currently in existence will be used solely for powertrain test purposes."   https://www.motor1.com/news/466763/rolls-royce-silend-shadow-rumors/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-news   QUESTION OF THE WEEK When did you first know you wanted to drive EV?   Send me your answer: hello@evnewsdaily.com     You can listen to all 965 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) AVID TECHNOLOGY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UK (PREMIUM PARTNER)   DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY – MILLBROOK COTTAGES AND ELOPEMENT WEDDING VENUE (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER) IAN SEAR (PARTNER)   ALAN ROBSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREW GREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRISTOPHER BARTH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG COLES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVE DEWSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) EDWYN CORTREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERIC HANSEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GILBERTO ROSADO (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GEOFF LOWE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEINRICH LIESNER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JOHN SCHROEDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEN MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KYLE MAHAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LARS DAHLAGER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARK BOSSERT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MATT PISCIONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MICHAEL PASTRONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHANIEL FREEDMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NICHOLAS MILLER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NIGEL MILES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL RIDINGS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAJ BADWAL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RICHARD LUPINSKY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB HERMANS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROBERT GRACE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

In this episode, Therese and Dr. Michael Metzger talk about various forms of cancer that are contagious, in other words, it can be passed from one individual to another.  More of these are being discovered across a range of animal species.  Some of the cases involve vertebrate animals and others, invertebrates such as clams and mussels.  They discuss how the fates of infected individuals vary from resistance to death and the implications for resistance to human cancer therapies.      Key Takeaways:   Dogs pass cancer by mating, resulting in tumors in the reproductive tract.  Tasmanian Devils pass cancer by biting during fights.  In marine mollusks, the cancer is thought to be spread in the water.  None of these cancers have been found to pass to humans.  The fact that some individuals are resistant, suggests that mechanisms exist which can be exploited in treating human cancers, once resistance is understood.      “We think that, by understanding these really extreme cases of cancer transmission in the wild, we can understand things that we wouldn’t be able to learn from just studying human cancers." —  Dr. Michael Metzger     Connect with Dr. Michael Metzger:  PNRI Profile: Metzger Lab     Twitter: @themetzgerm  NIH Bibliography: Michael Metzger’s Bibliography         Connect with Therese:   Website:   www.criticallyspeaking.net  Twitter: @CritiSpeak   Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net         Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions. You're the expert. Your podcast will prove it.  

We’re here today to talk about the current state of M&A aka mergers & acquisitions in the games industry. There’s been a lot of recent activity and there seems to be an open question now of whether the current trend can continue as Zynga seems to indicate or whether we’re likely going to see a major slowdown. Specifically we’ll speak to: - #1. What has driven the recent spate of M&A in the games industry? - #2. Why has Zynga historically sucked at M&A and suddenly seem like they are amazing at it more recently? - #3. Who are the buyers in the market - #4. Whoa are the acquisition targets including speculation on WB? - #5 Predictions on M&A trends short term/long term? And with us today to speak to all of these issues and more are: - #1.

Einmal einen Song auf der Bühne vor Publikum singen – das ist für viele Menschen ein Traum. Einige von ihnen hätten auch das Zeug dazu, nur keine Möglichkeiten das mal zu versuchen. Gut, es gibt die klassischen Casting-Shows – aber die folgen strikten Regeln: Wer mal einen schlechten Tag erwischt ist sofort raus. Und am Ende wird ein Sieger gekürt. Das will die Band von dem Musik-Projekt „Sind Dein Lied in Deiner Stadt“ so nicht hinnehmen. Michael Metzger, der Bandleader und Musiktherapeut hat deshalb ein Projekt initiiert, bei dem Sängerinnen und Sänger die Möglichkeit bekommen sich zu bewerben mit einer kurzen Gesangsprobe, aufgenommen mit dem Smartphone. Dann steht eine Band bereit, sie zu begleiten – vor Publikum. Braucht es dazu Mut? Vielleicht. Bisher hat noch niemand gekniffen.
