SummaryIn this episode of the Right Side Up podcast, host Danielle Strickland and guest Alexia Salvatierra discuss the current state of immigration in America, focusing on the challenges faced by immigrants and refugees. Salvatierra shares her extensive experience in immigration advocacy and highlights the drastic changes in policies that have made it increasingly difficult for individuals seeking asylum and temporary protected status. The conversation delves into the legal processes surrounding immigration, the implications of recent executive orders, and the political motivations behind anti-immigrant sentiment.Salvatierra emphasizes the importance of recognizing the contributions of immigrants to society and advocates for a humane and ethical immigration system. In this conversation, Alexia Salvatierra and Danielle Strickland explore the themes of fear, faith, and the role of immigrant communities in the current socio-political landscape. They discuss the metaphor of an uncontained fire to illustrate the fear politicians face, the importance of faith in overcoming fear, and the revival brought by immigrant churches. They emphasize the need for Christians to act with courage and sacrifice, support immigrant communities, and seek trusted voices amidst misinformation.The conversation calls for a collective movement towards love and understanding, urging listeners to engage with and support those in need.TakeawaysAlexia Salvatierra has been involved in immigration advocacy for over 45 years.Current immigration policies are unprecedented and draconian.Temporary protected status is being removed for many vulnerable individuals.Legal processes for asylum seekers are being undermined.Venezuelan refugees face unique challenges due to their government's refusal to accept them back.The immigration system is broken, with limited pathways for legal entry.Deferred deportation status is now a priority for deportation.Political motivations often drive anti-immigrant sentiment.Immigrants contribute significantly to the economy and society.A humane immigration system is essential for the country's prosperity. The experience of an uncontained fire symbolizes political fear.Faith can help us overcome fear and take action.Immigrant churches play a crucial role in spiritual revival.Moving towards those we fear can lead to understanding.Courage and sacrifice are essential for Christians today.Building relationships with immigrant churches is vital.We must support those in crisis as brothers and sisters.Finding trusted voices is crucial in navigating misinformation.Liberation comes from understanding and embracing others.Asking good questions can lead to meaningful action.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Immigration Issues in America01:25 Alexia Salvatierra's Background and Experience03:49 Current State of Immigration Policies06:47 Understanding Temporary Protected Status10:00 Legal Processes and Their Implications12:52 The Situation of Venezuelan Refugees14:27 The Broken Immigration System18:21 Deferred Deportation and Dreamers22:20 The Political Landscape of Immigration26:57 Ethical Immigration Practices29:47 The Uncontained Fire: A Metaphor for Political Fear32:25 Faith Over Fear: A Biblical Perspective35:55 The Role of Immigrant Churches in Revival39:51 Moving Towards the Stranger: A Call to Action46:39 Courage and Sacrifice: The Christian Response51:41 Building Bridges: Supporting Immigrant Communities57:05 Finding Trusted Voices: Navigating MisinformationLinks: https://www.juntosencristo.orghttps://worldrelief.orghttps://www.pcusa.org/about-pcusa/agencies-entities/interim-unified-agency/ministry-areas/immigration-issueshttps://www.umc.org/en/how-we-serve/social-issues/immigrationhttps://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/what-we-do/immigration-services/http://www.alexiasalvatierra.com/media.html Get full access to Right Side Up: Danielle Strickland at daniellestrickland.substack.com/subscribe

Leaders' Editorial Director James Emmett and Content Director David Cushnan dissect some of the stories of sports industry week.They reflect on whether Friday's Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight was a win for Netflix; the slightly mesmerising nature of the Vendee Globe app; and the social media trend towards Bluesky.Then, in a conversation recorded at last week's Leaders Sport Performance Summit in London, David chats to Peter Mattson, Red Bull's Global Performance Director. He offers a glimpse inside the energy drinks giant's Athlete Performance Center, the brand's evolving culture and the dynamics of building a high performance athlete within a global marketing machine.
Spiralers...what a TREAT!!! We had the lovely Flynn Skidmore join us to have a deeply healing and grounding conversation that soothed generational wounds, the superiority vs. inferiority complex, and the resistance to acceptance. If you are not already familiar with Flynn, he is someone who has been fascinated by the unconscious from an early age which led him to his previous practice as a therapist with extensive training in Internal Family Systems, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Somatic Experiencing. His primary intention for clients all around the world is to accelerate evolution. By diving deeply into the wounds, friction, and patterning that prevent us from creating momentum, he offers an uncanny ability to bring warmth to the parts of us that we perceive as darkness - freeing up energy to become more creative and loving.Because Sam personally knows and has worked with Flynn, this conversation felt like 3 friends exploring their parallel perspectives on generational wounds, feeling unseen by a parent, meeting your ego, and how to truly grow and get what you desire from your relationships. Gina shares her own vulnerable experience of feeling unseen by her mother and the impact it has had on her, while Flynn offers a liberating perspective on healing that is counter to what many healers offer these days.Through this conversation, we all get to be deeply vulnerable and transparent about the ways in which we derived value and self-importance in our lives and the underlying fears and desires behind those behaviors (shadow work!)But perhaps the most compelling element of this conversation was Flynn's approach to the terrifying fear, "What if I don't reach my potential?" and "Why won't the other person change?" His perspective and emphasis on personal responsibility and independence is a paradigm shift and he offers his very own co-creation framework: shared vision, capacity to execute, rate of execution, and satisfaction with rate of execution. Flynn also explains that relational satisfaction comes down to aligning visions and having satisfactory rates of execution with respect to that very vision in relationships. He also explores the themes of frustration and dissatisfaction in relationship and identifies how you can overcome these.If you're still reading these, trust me...this one's good. It's soul food for the human who is actively doing the inner work and by the end of this episode, you will better understand the behaviors that inform our false sense of superiority or value and the transformative powers of acceptance, curiosity and personal responsibility.Timestamps:00:00 Feeling Unseen in Parent-Child Relationships03:35 Healing Generational Wounds13:54 How the Ego Derives Value and Self-Importance25:21 The Power of Curiosity and Compassion26:04 Healing and Transforming Unconscious Wounds28:17 Recycling Painful Patterns and Repurposing Traits29:32 Moving Towards a Different Fuel Source30:35 Tapping into Trust and Overcoming Fear31:36 The Process of Letting Go and Opening Up33:15 Understanding Fear as a Motivator for Achievement34:30 The Transition from Fear to Warmth and Compassion37:14 The Process of Transformation and Letting Go39:35 The Co-Creation Framework for Fulfilling Relationships41:05 Taking Personal Agency in Unaligned Situations45:46 Aligning Visions and Pace of Execution in Relationships49:22 Navigating Different Rates of Evolution52:28 The Power of Acceptance56:10 Energetic Abundance and Supporting Others' Evolution--Join our FREE community: (We host free calls every month!)https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityHeal your money wound & manifest abundance in Sam's newest course 'Abundantly Ever After:'https://simplifyingsam.kartra.com/page/AbundantlyEverAfter--Apply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingApply for 1:1 coaching with Gina:https://tinyurl.com/1on1coachingbteFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ginabourneInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ginabourneFor all inquiries, email us at:Spiralinghigher@gmail.com--Follow Flynn on IG:https://www.instagram.com/flynnskidmore/?hl=enAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Welcome back! We are excited to kick off our third season of In the Arena with NOW, where we explore two timely questions with community leaders across the country: What does it look like to harness, activate, and build community power? How can healing-centered advocacy transform systems and change policy? For the first episode of the season, long-time Vital Village Networks leader and founding circle member, Josette Williams, reminds us that for many, systems change advocacy is deeply rooted in our own personal journeys and early experiences that shape our understanding of who has access and opportunities to important community resources and spaces. As Director of Boston Public Schools' innovative Countdown to Kindergarten program, Josette asks us to rethink the oft- asked question, “Who has a seat at the table?” and consider, “How did we get to this table” and the historical and systemic processes that shape who has access and opportunity to decision making power within communities. Tune in to hear Josette explore what shared power looks like in practice between agencies and families in Boston and examples of strategies she has been leading to center parent and family leadership within community systems.

Dr. Bill Smutz: To the Gills
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) leverages retrieval tools to access external databases, thereby enhancing the generation quality of large language models (LLMs) through optimized context. However, the existing retrieval methods are constrained inherently, as they can only perform relevance matching between explicitly stated queries and well-formed knowledge, but unable to handle tasks involving ambiguous information needs or unstructured knowledge. Consequently, existing RAG systems are primarily effective for straightforward question-answering tasks. In this work, we propose MemoRAG, a novel retrieval-augmented generation paradigm empowered by long-term memory. MemoRAG adopts a dual-system architecture. On the one hand, it employs a light but long-range LLM to form the global memory of database. Once a task is presented, it generates draft answers, cluing the retrieval tools to locate useful information within the database. On the other hand, it leverages an expensive but expressive LLM, which generates the ultimate answer based on the retrieved information. Building on this general framework, we further optimize MemoRAG's performance by enhancing its cluing mechanism and memorization capacity. In our experiment, MemoRAG achieves superior performance across a variety of evaluation tasks, including both complex ones where conventional RAG fails and straightforward ones where RAG is commonly applied. 2024: Hongjin Qian, Peitian Zhang, Zheng Liu, Kelong Mao, Zhicheng Dou https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.05591v2
In this episode, Aundi Kolber takes us on a deep dive into the interplay between trauma, attachment, and the wisdom of the body. We explore the crucial distinction between healthy hard work and trauma-driven overwork, and how to discern the difference. Aundi shares powerful insights on the concept of the "window of tolerance" - how trauma can shrink it, and the process of expanding it to allow us to fully feel our emotions. We also discuss the role of the church in becoming more trauma-informed, and the importance of leaders doing their own inner work first. Aundi offers compassionate, practical guidance on the journey of healing and integration - learning to listen to the profound intelligence of the body, and finding the balance between safety and risk-taking. So join us as we seek wholeness and growth, both individually and within our communities. Aundi Kolber is a licensed professional counselor (MA, LPC) and the best selling author of the critically acclaimed Try Softer™️ and her newest book Strong like Water. She has received additional training in her specialization of trauma- and body-centered therapies and is passionate about the integration of faith and psychology. Aundi has appeared on Good Morning America, regularly speaks at national events, and is a frequent guest on podcasts such as The Lazy Genius, Typology, and The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. As a survivor of trauma, Aundi brings hard-won knowledge about the work of change, the power of redemption, and the beauty of experiencing God with us in our pain.

In this week's episode of the Secure Love Podcast, Melissa and Drew recount a transformative moment from their Fourth of July weekend. Picture this: amidst the typical holiday stress, a disagreement escalates in front of their kids. Instead of spiraling further, they pause and ask each other, "Hey, can we try this again?" It's a simple question, but one that marks a significant milestone in their journey. This episode not only celebrates Melissa and Drew's progress but also takes a deeper dive into Drew's role as the avoidant partner. Why focus on Drew? Because avoidant partners often struggle longer with processing and communicating their emotions. Julie probes with questions like, "How long have you walked around trying to get everything right?" and "How are you supposed to help Melissa with her anxiety when you've never had help with yours?" Drew shares a powerful realization: "I've never had help in that arena…" This acknowledgment opens up discussions about the challenges of growing up with parents who, despite their best efforts, weren't always emotionally available. Drew traces the roots of his anxiety back to having to regulate his emotions alone from a young age. Julie guides Drew through understanding the pain beneath the pressure he feels, introducing him to a new kind of difficulty: touching the pain underneath all that pressure. For Melissa, understanding the reasons behind Drew's avoidant nature brings a huge sense of relief and a pathway to true co-regulation. As they navigate these revelations, how does it change their dynamics? Could understanding and addressing these deep-seated issues be the key to breaking their negative cycles for good? How do you handle the uncovering of deep-seated personal struggles in your relationships? Follow Julie Menanno on social media @thesecurerelationship.

The wonderful civil rights elder Vincent Harding liked to look around the world for what he called "live human signposts" — human beings who embody ways of seeing and becoming and who point the way forward to the world we want to inhabit. And adrienne maree brown, who has inspired worlds of social creativity with her notions of "pleasure activism" and "emergent strategy," is surely one of these. We're listening with new ears as she brings together so many of the threads that have recurred in this season of On Being: on looking the harsh complexity of this world full in the face while dancing with joy as life force and fuel, and on keeping clear eyes on the reasons for ecological despair while giving oneself over to a loving apprenticeship with the natural world as teacher and guide. A love of visionary science fiction also finds a robust place in her work and this conversation. She altogether shines a light on an emerging ecosystem in our world over and against the drumbeat of what is fractured and breaking — the cultivation of old and new ways of seeing, towards a transformative wholeness of living.adrienne maree brown's influential books include Emergent Strategy, We Will Not Cancel Us, and Pleasure Activism. More recently, she has published Maroons, a work of speculative fiction, and she co-edited the anthology Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements. She also co-hosts the podcast How to Survive the End of the World. And, a special heads up: in late summer 2024, adrienne maree brown will publish a phenomenal new book — Loving Corrections.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.______Sign up for The Pause — a Saturday morning companion newsletter to the On Being podcast season, and our mailing list for news and invitations all year round.

As the seasoned host of the successful Get Psyched podcast my guest this week, fellow therapist Lindsey Locke, has a lot to say about working towards a healthy lifestyle. In fact, she has worked extensively as a fitness coach which is actually how I came to find out about her as she previously worked at a substance abuse recovery center. This focus on the body & mental health naturally led Lindsey towards incorporating a holistic mind, body, and emotion approach in her work helping clients live a non-toxic lifestyle.On this guest episode, Lindsey shares with us about how she has worked towards secure attachment and healing her own attachment style. As someone who always felt like "one of the guys" and really leaned into her masculine, Lindsey had to learn to slow down, receive, and surrender which were all BIG practices for her. She also speaks on reworking her own stories around love, IFS/parts work she's done to reparent and love her inner-child, and how that's shown up in her past relationships and led her ultimately to her current relationship with her fiance. Lindsey is a registered associate therapist. Having spent well over a decade in the health/wellness and fitness space, Lindsey approaches the body, mind, soul, and spirit in her work with clients. With a Master's degree in Holistic Counseling Psychology, Lindsey aims to address the whole person, their stories, the parts of them they are proud (and not so proud) of, unearth patterns that once kept that person safe, but are no longer serving them, and help clients move toward healing.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 183: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: It is becoming increasingly obvious that Trump and the authoritarians seeking to overthrow democracy in the United States and install him as dictator for life and then enact the equivalent of ethnic cleansing… have made the choice to let everybody KNOW… that they are seeking to overthrow the democracy in the United States and install him as dictator and then enact the equivalent of ethnic cleansing. You may recall him summoning most of the fossil fuel industry of this country to Mar-a-Lago in April and essentially demanding they put one billion dollars into his campaign so he can eliminate virtually all the restrictions on their businesses as they try to destroy the planet faster. Now The Washington Post reports that early THIS month he summoned most of the big money donors to the Republicans and other fascists to the Pierre Hotel here in New York and was essentially demanding they increase THEIR donations by a factor of 25 or 50 so he can eliminate virtually all TAXES on their businesses and incomes… A businessman, he told them, had offered a donation of a million dollars to his campaign, in exchange for lunch. The Post's sources quote Trump as replying “I'm not having lunch. You've got to make it 25 million.” Then there was the donor who normally gave two to three million. “He told the donor that he wanted a 25 million dollar or 50 million dollar contribution or he would not be, quote ‘very happy'. It's blackmail. Give me the money I want – 25 times as much as you planned – or else. It's kinda Robert DeNiro, in "The Untouchables," playing Al Capone, carrying around a baseball bat. Which is funny because who showed up at the trial yesterday but DeNiro and suddenly the Trumpists are enraged that anybody would dare bring people TO the courthouse! If this unvarnished, unrestrained, undeniable corruption were not obvious enough that Trump just doesn't GIVE a shit any more – you're not going to shame him, you're not going to restrain him, you're not going to prosecute him – he's decided it's us or him… there's the SECOND part. Trump posted a video – another one of these fig leaf deniable videos: HE didn't MAKE the video, he just POSSSSSSTED this video. And so the threats in the video, nominally directed at Joe Scarborough, that Trump will "get rid of all you offing liberals; you liberals are gone" aren't Trump's threats. Except, of course they are. Because Trump has called his opponents vermin and vowed to get rid of them. And expel all the immigrants. And put them in concentration camps. And use the army. And use the cops. And if you can do that, you can point at Joe Scarborough and say "YOU are now defined as an immigrant. Get in the camp." And that... is ethnic cleansing. B-Block (30:49) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Renfield-ification of Lindsey Graham is complete. Speaker Mike Johnson is stalling on the installation of a Capitol plaque honoring the police from January 6th. And Pastor Shane Vaughn has news for you: Jesus was a millionaire. C-Block (41:30) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Since yesterday was the saga of the 45th anniversary of my college graduation, today must be the saga of the class I nearly failed because the professor was mad because the quarterback of his favorite football team fumbled away a victory in the final minute.
