The Community Military Appreciation Committee held a nearly two-hour Memorial Day ceremony at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, featuring a military flyover, artillery fire, rifle salute, and a dove release. U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez, Vancouver Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle, and Police Chief Troy Price were among the speakers. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/people/vancouver-honors-the-fallen-at-memorial-day-observance-ceremony/ #MemorialDay #Vancouver #ClarkCounty #FortVancouver #MilitaryRemembrance #CommunityMilitaryAppreciationCommittee #VancouverWA #FallenSoldiers #WashingtonState

We take another look at why we have a Memorial Day. Should we observe it or should we instead celebrate the day?

Friends of the Rosary,Christ the Lord is the union and reconciliation of divinity and humanity, and the promise of eternal life.We are called to follow Jesus. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order has passed away” (Rev 21:4).Bishop Barron writes, “Think of the oceans of tears that have been shed by suffering humanity up and down the ages. Think of the agony caused by sickness, by psychological torment, and by the death of loved ones. It will all be swallowed up, washed away, taken up into a higher place.”With Jesus, we will be in the New Jerusalem. He is the accomplishment of the covenant.And tomorrow is the Solemnity of Pentecost, the end of the Easter season. Observance of the solemnity begins with First Vespers in the Liturgy of the Hours, and a special Vigil Mass before or after First Vespers.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley tackles a common entrepreneurial frustration: hiring seemingly qualified candidates who underperform within their first few months. Josh introduces his proven 30-60-90 day onboarding framework, broken into three phases: observation, independence, and ownership. Each phase features structured communication, daily reports, and objective performance evaluations using a custom GPT tool. Josh emphasizes the importance of clear role profiles, documented SOPs, and milestone-based progression to set new hires up for success and help business owners make informed retention decisions.Bullet Points:Challenges entrepreneurs face in hiring qualified team members who underperform.Introduction of a structured 30-60-90 day onboarding framework.Breakdown of the onboarding process into three phases: Observance, Independence, and Ownership.Importance of clear role profiles and key performance indicators (KPIs) for new hires.Emphasis on frequent communication and structured meetings during the onboarding process.Use of tools and technology to enhance onboarding and performance evaluation.Strategies for assessing new hires' progress and readiness to advance through onboarding phases.Flexibility in the timeline for onboarding based on individual performance.Importance of documenting standard operating procedures (SOPs) for clarity and consistency.The impact of a structured onboarding framework on business scaling and team success.Timestamps:00:00:00 The Problem with HiringEntrepreneurs hire seemingly qualified candidates who underperform, leading to frustration and the belief that they must do everything themselves.00:00:40 Introduction to the 30-60-90 Day FrameworkA structured onboarding framework to set clear expectations and objectively evaluate whether a new team member is succeeding or failing.00:01:11 Podcast and Host IntroductionJosh Hadley introduces himself, his e-commerce background, and the Econ Breakthrough Podcast before reintroducing the 30-60-90 day framework.00:02:19 Why Onboarding FailsMost entrepreneurs fail by having unclear expectations and assuming new hires can immediately perform miracles without proper guidance or systems.00:04:29 The Entrepreneur's Hiring MindsetEntrepreneurs must hire people smarter than themselves for both their weaknesses and strengths to compound business growth effectively.00:05:34 The Importance of a Clear Onboarding SequenceA dedicated onboarding process is crucial for clarity, speed, and objectivity, increasing a new hire's success rate significantly.00:06:41 The Role Profile TemplateBefore onboarding, a clear role profile defining KPIs, success metrics, and tasks is essential to avoid ambiguity for everyone.00:09:49 Using AI to Create Role ProfilesLeverage a custom GPT to quickly generate a comprehensive role profile template, completing 80% of the work for you.00:11:24 Overview of the Three Onboarding PhasesA high-level look at the three phases: Observance (Days 1-30), Independence (Days 31-60), and Ownership (Days 61-90).00:12:21 Phase 1: The Observance Period (Days 1-30)New hires watch, follow, and re-document existing processes to demonstrate understanding before making any changes or executing tasks.00:16:02 Meeting Cadence for Phase 1The communication schedule includes daily 15-minute huddles, a weekly 45-minute one-on-one, and a daily end-of-day report.00:18:50 The 30-Day Checkpoint GPTUsing a custom GPT to objectively evaluate a new hire's performance by answering questions about their impact and ownership behaviors.00:23:11 Phase 2: The Independence Period (Days 31-60)The new hire begins executing tasks in "draft mode," requiring manager approval before anything goes live, with reduced meeting frequency.00:29:25 Phase 3: The Ownership Period (Days 61-90)The team member takes full ownership, executing their role independently while the manager verifies work behind the scenes.00:35:10 Onboarding Framework SummaryA recap of the meeting cadences and work expectations for each of the three 30-day phases in the framework.00:36:33 Milestone-Based ProgressionThe 30, 60, and 90-day timelines are arbitrary; progression is based on milestones and demonstrating readiness to advance.00:39:03 The Role of HR and Pre-Onboarding PrepBefore day one, ensure the role profile is complete and existing SOPs are documented to set the new hire up for success.00:40:07 Why This Framework Matters for ScaleThis system increases your hiring "batting average," ensuring new team members succeed more often, which is critical for scaling.00:41:35 Call to Action and Access to ResourcesJosh asks listeners to review and share the podcast in exchange for access to the presentation slides and resources.Links and Mentions:Role Profile Creation"Role Profile Template": "00:07:38""Custom GPT for Role Profile Creation": "00:09:49"Hiring and Team Evaluation"YouTube Video on Hiring A+ Talent": "00:10:49""Custom GPT Checkpoint": "00:19:29"Process Documentation"Loom": "00:39:30"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  Have you ever gone through an in-depth interviewing process to find A-level talent? And then you get the right person who has an incredible resume. They've passed all of your interviews and maybe even a case study or test project that you've given them. And then ultimately 30 days within the job, 60 days within the job. They're not performing. And you're frustrated, they're frustrated. And then you chalk it up to say, hey, I think I just need to go do this myself. Nobody can do this better than me. Screw it. With all of this hiring, if you've ever said that yourself, then this is for you. I'm going to walk you through the 30 60 90 day framework that we use to onboard every single new team member onto the team. That allows us to gain clarity not only from their perspective in terms of understanding their role, but from our perspective of understanding what the expectations are at 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days to where we know whether that new team member is winning or losing in their new role, and whether we should keep them, or if it's best to cut ties and free them back up to the marketplace to allow them to go do something that they are going to succeed at.Josh Hadley 00:01:11  Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife, and I am also the father of four children. I have been selling into e-commerce space for over a decade now, doing over $20 million in annual revenue and doing multi-million in revenue on different sales channels such as Amazon, TikTok, Shop and Shopify. I'm also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs, and that's ecomm breakthrough. Today we are going to be diving into the 30 60 90 day onboarding framework. This is the framework that we live and die by. Any new team member that joins the team, whether they are a entry level team member or whether they're a senior level, a leadership level hiring decision for us.Josh Hadley 00:02...

Shabbat observance has a different quality to it than almost any other mitzva. Observing Shabbat is taking a position about Truth. Conversely deliberately profaining the Shabbat is also making a statement about Truth.Source Sheet

In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.As we continue our study in this fantastic insight of the Women of the Bible, this morning we will take a look at Hagar. If you remember Hagar was the ‘slave woman' to Sarah. As we read earlier in the Legends of the Old Testament Characters it stated that Hagar's father was Pharaoh of Egypt, there in Gen. 12.As we continue our study on Hagar, we have seen in are last study that Sarah could not conceive. So, Sarah devises a plan to allow her slave woman Hagar (Flight) to conceive on Sarah's behalf with Abraham. Once Hagar realizes that she is pregnant with Abraham child some type of trouble begins between Sarah and Hagar. When can probably conclude that Sarah was jealous has Hagar probably goes around and brags that she is with child by one of Yahweh's elect.Sarah then goes to Abraham and insists that Abraham do something about this. Abraham basically states it is your problem. Deal with it! So Sarah makes life so hard for Hagar, forcing Hagar to leave, going into the wilderness.We pick up the story here in Chapter 16 verse 8.8.  Where have you come from, and where are you going = The Angel of Yahweh asked an important and insightful question. In Hagar's pride and misery, she acted without thinking, “Where have I come from?” “Where am I going?”9.  Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her hand = The Angel of Yahweh told her to repent. 10.  I will multiply your descendants exceedingly = Yahweh not only implied a promise of protection, He also gave a clear promise of staggering blessing. The unborn son of Hagar would be the father of uncountable descendants.11.  You shall call his name Ishmael, because Yahweh has heard your affliction = once again the name Ishmael means EL will hear.We just finished reading about the son of Hagar, Ishmael, who happens to be the father of the Arab nations. We know that throughout history there has been and will be conflicts between Ishmael and Isaac generations. BUT what I find so interested is the fact that the Arabs believe in Yahshua Messiah, whereas the Jewish people believe, according to the Talmud, that Yahshua Messiah was a type of a Balaam and His mother was a whore. Do Muslims Believe in Yahshua Messiah/Jesus Christ?This was taken from the “American Islamic Outreach Foundation” websiteYes, Muslims believe in Yahshua Messiah/Jesus Christ, or ‘Isa in Arabic (peace be upon him), and he is one of the most important figures in Islam. Muslims view Yahshua as a revered prophet and a servant of God, emphasizing his human nature and mission as a messenger. Here's a detailed exploration of how Yahshua is viewed in Islam, his significance, and the points of distinction from Christian theology.Now here are 6 reasons why the Jews don't acknowledge Yahshua as the Messiah.1 – The Messiah must be from the Tribe of Judah and a Descendant of King David AND King Solomon – Yahshua Messiah did not qualify.  2 – Ingathering of the Jewish Exiles – Yahshua Messiah did not do this.  3– Rebuilding of the Holy Temple – Yahshua Messiah failed to achieve this.  4– Worldwide Reign of Peace – Yahshua Messiah did not accomplish this.  5 – Observance of the Torah Embraced by All Jews – Yahshua Messiah didn't bring this about.  6 – Universal Knowledge of G-d – Yahshua Messiah clearly failed here also. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

Religious Observance vs. Secular Celebration: The Split IdentityValentine's Day in the contemporary context exemplifies a pronounced duality, serving both as a religious observance and a secular celebration. On one hand, it remains the Feast of Saint Valentine, a minor liturgical event in the Catholic calendar commemorating the martyrdom of early Christian saints. This observance is solemn and centers on themes of faith and sacrifice, with historical details often obscured by legend. For practicing Catholics, the day emphasizes devotion to God rather than romantic love, and similar themes are present in some Eastern Orthodox traditions. However, for most participants, religious origins have been overshadowed by the holiday's secular iteration, which emphasizes romance, consumerism, and popular sentiment. The transformation from religious commemoration to secular celebration began in the late Middle Ages, notably through the literary interventions of poets such as Geoffrey Chaucer, who associated the day with courtly love and the mating of birds. Over time, the exchange of notes, the commercialization of cards, and marketing further redefined the holiday. The secular version draws its vitality from literature, commerce, and universal human longing, rather than from its ecclesiastical roots. This dual identity generates both tension and adaptation, as some religious groups discourage participation in the secular holiday, while others incorporate it into their own traditions. Most individuals, however, engage in secular rituals without reference to the original saint. Despite this, the secular celebration retains subtle echoes of its religious predecessor, such as the emphasis on selfless love and enduring commitment. The coexistence of these two layers illustrates the holiday's capacity for cultural adaptation, as it continues to acquire new meanings in response to evolving societal needs.More Podcasts HereProduced by SimVal Media Group, USA

The Church was determined to wipe out any vestige of Judaism from Spain, any custom, any law, any practice, and thousands of Jews would pay the price.

Monday is World AIDS Day, but the United States government is sitting out the commemoration this year. The World Health Organization created the day in the 1980s to remember those lost to the disease and rally support for prevention and treatment. This is the first year since 1993 that the President of the United States has not signed a proclamation to recognize the day. The Trump Administration also told federal employees not to use government funds or social media for World AIDS Day, according to the New York Times. Matt Toburen leads the Aliveness Project, which supports people living with HIV in the Twin Cities. He joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about how his organization is still raising awareness.

Rabbi Alan Morinis, founder of the Mussar Institute, is a leading figure in the contemporary revival of the Mussar movement, a 1,100-year-old authentic Jewish personal and communal spiritual tradition. A Rhodes Scholar and anthropologist (whose focus had been Hindu religious pilgrimages), he reached a personal turning point in his life in 1997 that led him to seek out the late Rabbi Yechiel Yitzchok Perr, an accomplished master who stood in an unbroken line of transmission of the Mussar tradition.Following years of study, he reinterpreted the ancient Mussar learnings and practices for modern audiences in Climbing Jacob's Ladder (2002) and Everyday Holiness (2007). To address the growing public interest in Mussar, he founded The Mussar Institute in 2004.He went on to author two more books, Every Day, Holy Day (2010), With Heart in Mind (2014), and now a new book, The Shabbat Effect. Alan lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, and continues to explore and interpret original Mussar sources in Hebrew and is making these valuable teachings available to the contemporary world.--Please rate and review the Empowered Jewish Living podcast on whatever platform you stream it.

Did Jesus come to cancel the Law of Moses—or fulfill it? In this compelling episode, Dr. Paul Sloan joins Dru Johnson to challenge one of the most persistent misunderstandings in modern Christianity: the idea that Jesus and Paul opposed the Torah. Drawing from his book Jesus and the Law of Moses, Sloan explains how legalism, misunderstanding of impurity, and modern Christian readings of Paul have distorted our view of the biblical law. Instead of a rigid checklist of 613 rules, the Torah was a wisdom-guided, relational framework that assumed the realities of sin, forgiveness, and impurity—and offered ways to address them. They explore how Jesus engaged in sophisticated legal reasoning, why Paul continued to participate in the temple sacrificial system even after his conversion, and why the “burden” of the law has been misunderstood. Sloan also critiques how Pharisees are caricatured as villains, with damaging theological consequences—especially for how Christians view modern Jews and Judaism. This episode brings clarity to what Jesus and Paul were really doing with the law—and why recovering this perspective is crucial for theology, biblical interpretation, and interfaith understanding today.
