Three days after the review and a near 40 mile march south, Denisov's squadron was assigned to be a reserve unit in the early stages of the monumental Battle of Austerlitz. Rostov was in something of a depression, as he wasted the inner struggle it took to conquer his apprehension. While idle, he observed squadrons of Cossacks, hussars, infantry and artillery pass. Around 9 a.m., he heard firing and shouts. Later, a handful of French prisoners were brought back. A successful small affair culminated and the Village of Wishau was taken, building false confidence. The morning glitter of the sun was in keeping with news of the victory. Denisov tried to cheer up Rostov, “Come here. Let's dwink to dwown our gwief!” A fellow Hussar soon noticed: “There! They are bringing another!,” pointing to a captive French dragoon along with his horse. Denisov was able to buy the horse for two gold pieces with money from Rostov. The prisoner was from Alsace, a Rhine border area heavily influenced by German speakers. The Hussars realized their prisoner brought aspects of culture so alien to them. Such contacts and influences would have profound impact on the progression of history.The day takes a dramatic upon shouts of “The Emperor! The Emperor!” as The Imperial Guard was spotted.  All regret at not getting into action vanished and Rostov mounted his horse with joy. Nearer to him came that human sun and Rostov felt enveloped in his rays. Rostov again heard Alexander's voice, so kindly and calm, inquiring if he was passing “The Pavlograd Hussars.” The Emperor drew level with Rostov and halted. Alexander's face shone with gaiety and youth. Rostov believed the Emperor's light blue eyes met his but could only hope Alexander understood what was within his soul. The Czar soon signaled his horse and galloped away.Tolstoy describes how Alexander could not resist being present and was thrilled by news of the successful engagement. The battle was represented as a brilliant victory, however, there was a mistaken belief that a solid portion of the French were retreating.The Pavlograds were ordered to advance to Wischau -- described as a quant German town. Rostov saw the Emperor for a third time, here at a market place where there had been heavy firing and lay several killed and wounded.The Emperor was riding a mare and leaning while holding at some magnifying glasses (a lorgnette). He gazed at a bleeding soldier who was so revolting that his proximity to royalty bothered Rostov. An adjutant lifted the soldier to place him on a stretcher, causing the soldier to groan. The Czar, so enthusiastic to put men in peril, instructed: “Gently, gently! Can't you do it more gently?” Soon enough he rode away. Rostov saw tears filling the Emperor's eyes and heard him say to his close advisor, Adam Czartorýski: “What a terrible thing war! Quelle terrible chose que la guerre!”Soon enough, the Pavlograd Hussars were stationed before Wischau. The Emperor's gratitude was announced, rewards were promised and the men received a double ration of vodka. The campfires crackled and soldiers' songs resounded.Denisov celebrated a promotion to the rank of major, and Rostov, quite inebriated, proposed a toast. To the “the health of our Sovereign, that good, enchanting and great man! Let us drink to his health and to the certain defeat of the French! If we fought before, not letting the French pass at Schön Grabern, what shall we not do now when he is at the front? We will all die for him gladly! Is it not so? Perhaps I am not saying it right, I have drunk a good deal—but that is how I feel, and so do you! To the health of Alexander the First!"  Hurrah! Hurrah!” responded the Hussars. Even the old cavalry captain, Kirsten, shouted no less sincerely.Later that night, Denisov patted Rostov and announced: “As there's no one to fall in love with on campaign, he's fallen in love with the Czar!.” Rostov told Denisov not to belittle his emotions and walked off to wander among the campfires, dreaming of what happiness it would be to die—not in saving the Emperor's life but simply to die before his eyes. He was in love with the Czar and the hope of future triumph. He was hardly the only one to experience such pathos in those memorable moments preceding the true affair at Austerlitz.

This morning, we'll consider the first mention of the Spirit of God as we explore together the Creation narrative in Genesis 2. God, after forming the heavens and the earth, forms human beings from the dust of the ground and then breathes the breath of life into Adam, allowing him to become a living being. As we sit with this imagery, we'll meditate on how the breath of God offers us constancy, intimacy, and reminds us of our utter dependence on our God, who is nearer than breath. Sermon on Genesis 2:4-8, delivered by the Reverend Joshua H. Narcisse on June 29th, 2025.

This morning, we'll turn to the Hebrew Scriptures to reflect on the prophet Elijah. Elijah was faithful and true to God's word, and thus his life was at risk. When he felt he was at his lowest, God surprised and challenged him. We'll wrestle with how we hear God speaking, surprising, and challenging us along our faith journey.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   American Conservative University Podcast (ACU) is not an official representative for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Today is Trinity Sunday, celebrating the Triune God—an identity we share as those baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amid unrest and uncertainty, we turn to the Spirit of truth who delights, plays, and stays with us. As we face transitions and farewells, our Gospel reminds us the Spirit is always present. Together, we'll reflect on what it means to lean into that presence, embracing the invitation to delight and play—even now. Sermon on Proverbs 8:22-31 and John 16:12-15, delivered by the Reverend Courtnay Veazey on June 15th, 2025.

Today, we celebrate Pentecost and begin a new sermon series titled Nearer Than Breath. We'll wrestle with our understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit, that forcibly blows us out into the world and is yet as comforting and reliable as our next breath. As we encounter the Spirit in wind, fire, breath, and even a descending dove, we trust that the Spirit journeys with us, comforting, transforming, and sustaining us with each step. Sermon on Acts 2:1-5, 14-21, delivered by the Reverend Joshua H. Narcisse on June 8th, 2025.

Embracing Life: What If Today Was Your First or Last Day? In this episode of Personal Development Unplugged, we dig into two simple but powerful questions: What if today were your last day? What if it were your first? This is an extract from a live Q&A call I did for my son's (Joseph Clough) Mind Mastery group, and invite you to reflect, respond, and explore what really matters in your life. It's not heavy or dark—it's a spark. A chance to wake up to what you're doing with your time and how you want to live going forward. What you'll discover in this episode: The power of writing letters of love and gratitude—and who they need to be sent to. How small acts of kindness help shape the legacy you're already leaving behind. Why waiting for “someday” is a trap—and how to flip into action now. How to live with intention and awareness, instead of drifting on autopilot. A simple, powerful way to visualise your best self—and take the first steps to becoming them. You'll hear honest conversation, real moments with listeners, and practical insights that can shift your perspective in just one listen. This is the kind of reflection that leads to action—and action that changes everything. Call to Action: If this episode resonated with you, pass it on. https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/447-on-life-and-how-we-might-live-it Subscribe, follow the podcast, and share it with someone who needs a reminder that their time—and their life—matters.

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and futurist Ray Kurzweil for a compelling conversation on the accelerating pace of technological change and its profound implications for the future of humanity. In his new book, The Singularity Is Nearer, Kurzweil revisits and updates his groundbreaking predictions on AI & AGI, exponential growth, and human evolution and longevity.Together, they explore a future where AI rivals human intelligence by 2029, nanotechnology rebuilds the world atom by atom, and our minds merge with the cloud to expand intelligence beyond biological limits. They examine radical life extension, the promise of renewable energy, and how exponential technologies are reshaping industries, reducing poverty, and transforming global well-being. But, they also confront the risks while discussing a vision of the future - both awe-inspiring and cautionary - challenging us to rethink what it means to be human in an age of rapid and relentless innovation.The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

Send us a textGUEST: STEVE MILLER, author, One Day NearerLast week in part one on our two-part series on Biblical prophecy, Steve Miller joined us to discuss his 365-day devotional book One Day Nearer: Daily Devotions in Anticipation of Jesus' Glorious Return.He pointed out that the motivation to understand Biblical prophecy goes beyond knowing the what and when about the future but that it should impel believers to a deeper love for God and His awesome plan and victory when His Son returns in glory to judge and reign.Steve bolstered our faith by pointing to several Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in the New Testament, such as Christ being born of a virgin woman in the town of Bethlehem. He also explained the three main end times views: premillennialism, amillennialism, and post-millennialism.This weekend in part two, Steve will answer some of the intriguing questions that believers have pondered over the years:When does the prophesied war of Gog and Magog take place and who is involved (i.e. Ezekiel 38-39)?Will the Jewish Temple be rebuilt next to the current Islamic mosque in Jerusalem?Who is “Babylon the Great” in Revelation 17 and where does America fit in to end times prophecy?And, what is the believer's call at this time?Steve's daily devotional One Day Nearer is our new featured resource available for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.--------------------------Steve Miller's Podcast: Foreshadows ReportDevotional Resource: One Day Nearer365 Days of Keeping Watch and Finding Hope!

We dive into one of the biggest questions of our time: How close are we to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? AGI is more than just smart machines—it's the kind of AI that can think, adapt, and solve problems as well as (or better than) humans. But is AGI a fixed concept, or is it a process that evolves over time? We explore whether 2025 could be the year AGI arrives and what that could mean for our world. From transforming industries and reshaping human lives to raising profound questions about identity and consciousness, AGI promises to challenge everything we know about intelligence. If AGI can do what humans do, does that make it human? And if not, what truly makes us human? Join us as we unpack the rapid progress in AI, discuss the philosophical and ethical implications of AGI, and ponder the future of intelligence itself. #PhilosophyWithAI #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence #AGI #AIandPhilosophy #FutureOfAI #AIandHumanity #AIPodcast

Send us a textGUEST: STEVE MILLER, author, One Day NearerI recently watched a program on Fox News Channel that featured some of the sharpest conservative minds, including Thomas Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson, and Mark Levin. They were discussing the crumbling state of affairs in America and abroad with regard to overwhelming illegal immigration across our border, a takeover of the government school system by a Marxist worldview, crushing economic policies and inflation, political corruption, widespread anti-Israel sentiment, and several more.They detailed the problems accurately but I was left wondering what these intelligent men believe is going to happen in the future. Do they think with a different president that we'll pull out of this death spiral? Do they think that America is too big to fail and that the pendulum will swing back the conservative way at some point? Do they know and believe what God has prophesied in the Bible about the end times?Only the born again Christian who is indwelled by the Holy Spirit and accurately interprets Scripture is able to understand what is coming. While God has chosen to not reveal every detail and precise timing of the future, He has put enough in Scripture that we should know what's coming, most especially, the return of Jesus Christ to defeat His enemies and reign.With each passing sunset, we are “one day nearer” to the return of Christ. And that is the best news! Why would the believer want to struggle on in this world—with sin, conflict, persecution, disease, and death—when we can live for eternity in perfection in the presence of Christ?Steve Miller is our guest this weekend and next. He has studied Biblical prophecy for decades and is the author of Foreshadows: 12 Megaclues Jesus' Return is Nearer than Ever and the 365-day devotional book that we will be discussing today, One Day Nearer: Daily Devotions in Anticipation of Jesus' Glorious Return. One Day Nearer is our new featured resource available for a donation of any amount.This week he will explain the purposes of Bible prophecy, the three major views (i.e. premillennialism, amillennialism, and post-millennialism),  and whether the idea of a “rapture” of church-age believers is a recent invention.

Sometimes talking about the Future of Shopping, in capital letters, can be so annoying. Well, thanks for telling me someday we will be flying like the Jetsons, look it up GenZ, but what good does that do me now? That's why it was so satisfying to talk about the near future of shopping - the cool, impactful experiences that are being created now by early adopters, with Nat Pavic, founder and host of the Salesforce Commerce Cloud Innovations Podcast, and product marketer at Salesforce.

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump are both in Pennsylvania Monday as the nominees chase votes in a very tight presidential race.The schedules of their running mates had the two VP candidates minutes apart at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. Republican Senator JD Vance swung through for a fundraiser and Democratic Governor Tim Walz departed for a series of events in Wisconsin. MPR News has dispatched reporters to those campaign events. Our politics editor Brian Bakst filled us in on the latest.

It is human nature to experience rejection and think something is wrong with us because of another person's choice, but my hope is that we will begin to seek God for wisdom on how to make rejection serve his purpose for us.

The world is fascinated with the idea of a coming apocalypse, and it's not just in movies—there's an intuitive sense that something catastrophic is on the horizon. But what if the Bible has already given us the ultimate early warning system? In Luke 21:5-11, Jesus foretells events that will precede His return, describing wars, natural disasters, and cosmic disturbances that will shake the world to its core. Are these just distant predictions, or are they closer than we think? Join us as we explore what Jesus said about the end times and what it means for us today. Discover why, even in the face of these terrifying predictions, believers can find hope and assurance in the One who holds the future in His hands.

As humanity continues its journey forward into the era of artificial intelligence, many leading futurists are looking ahead to what the following decades may hold for us. Some scientists are also questioning what the implications of the current progress with machine intelligence might be in terms of understanding mysteries like unidentified anomalous phenomena. Could AI help us solve the UAP mystery, or might some part of the phenomenon itself be related to AI, representing a kind of "UAP Singularity" hinted at by our own current technological progression? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we explore how recent advancements with AI relate to the UAP question, including ideas such as whether alien life we may encounter would necessarily be biological, and how the concept of technological singularity could potentially give rise to superintelligences, time travel, and other futuristic concepts that could be related to the UAP mystery.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.

In 2005, futurist and inventor Ray Kurzweil popularized the term “the singularity” to capture the idea that man and machine will merge as the next stage of evolution. This was the basis for Kurzweil's book The Singularity is Near, which has been essential reading for technology buffs and critics since its publication nearly 20 years ago.In the meantime, we've seen huge advances in artificial intelligence, computing power, and technological research. In response to all this growth, Kurzweil has published a followup to bring us up to date, The Singularity is Nearer: When We Merge With AI. Ira Flatow speaks to Kurzweil about the book and his more than six decades of experience in the field of artificial intelligence.Read an excerpt from The Singularity is Nearer: When We Merge With AI.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
