Aviation News LOT Polish Airlines' Fraud Case Against Boeing Set to Go to Jury Trial LOT Polish Airlines' fraud and misrepresentation case against Boeing is proceeding to a jury trial scheduled for November 3, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. LOT alleges that Boeing rushed the 737 MAX to market, bypassed proper engineering protocols, withheld safety-critical details from regulators, and misled airline customers about the scope and safety of design changes from previous 737 models. The airline claims that these actions led to its belief that the 737 MAX was airworthy and economically advantageous. LOT claims at least $250 million in losses from the grounding, including lost revenue, storage costs, and expenses for replacing the unfit aircraft. After months of limits, FAA allows Boeing to increase MAX production The FAA has approved an increase in the production cap for Boeing's 737 MAX jets, allowing for the manufacture of 42 aircraft per month. This follows a review of Boeing's manufacturing processes and safety controls. The FAA will continue to supervise Boeing's operations and monitor the manufacturer's safety and quality culture. The rate increase helps Boeing's financial situation by accelerating cash flow, improving debt serviceability, and restoring investor confidence. Workers reject Boeing's latest offer after nearly three months on strike The roughly 3,200 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 837 at Boeing Defense in the St. Louis area rejected the company's latest contract proposal.

No final da semana passada decorreu em Paris a décima edição do salão de arte africana AKAA, Also Known As Africa, uma mostra reunindo galerias de várias partes com um foco sobre a criação vinda do continente africano e da diáspora. Nesta feira cuja organização coincidiu com a Basel Paris, uma mostra internacional que transforma por alguns dias Paris no maior museu do mundo, estiveram duas galerias baseadas em Portugal que apresentaram grandes nomes ou figuras emergentes das artes plásticas dos países de África Lusófona. A RFI falou com os responsáveis dessas duas galerias, Janire Bilbao e Carlos Cabral Nunes, mas igualmente com dois artistas, Renée Gagnon, artista luso-canadiana conhecida designadamente por uma série de fotografias que fez nos musseques de Luanda no final dos anos 70 e ainda o guineense radicado aqui em Paris, Nú Barreto, que já ouviram nas nossas antenas por ser também um dos organizadores da bienal de Bissau. Foi com ele que decidimos abrir a nossa visita deste salão, de olhos postos sobre uma das obras que apresentou nesta que não foi a sua primeira participação no certame. O artista guineense propôs designadamente um grande painel em forma de bandeira americana feita de retalhos, com as cores do continente africano, amarelo, vermelho, verde e estrelas negras caídas no chão. Os "Estados Desunidos de África". "Acho que o comparativo com a bandeira americana terá um pé bastante curto, porque é uma metáfora. Eu fui recuperar a bandeira americana porque é a América e os Estados Unidos da América. O essencial na União aqui é os 'Estados Desunidos da África'. E então o que me interessava era recuperar esse simbolismo da dimensão, porque achei que também que a África tem uma dimensão superior aos Estados Unidos, estamos a falar em termos de superfícies. Mas se reparar, as cores foram invertidas. Porquê? Eu inverti porque eu estou a falar do continente africano. Daí, fui buscar as cores mais utilizadas nas bandeiras das nações africanas. Verde, amarelo, vermelho e preto. Usamos sempre preto. Eu uso as estrelas de cores pretas nesse trabalho. Daí que para esse comparativo entre os Estados Unidos e esta bandeira é só isto. O resto é uma forma de questionamento que eu, enquanto artista, faço, vou abordando diferentes temáticas e em cada bandeira que eu vou criando", esclarece. O verde, o amarelo, o vermelho são também as cores dominantes colocadas por cima das fotografias a preto e branco que Renée Gagnon tirou há cinquenta anos nos nos bairros da lata da capital angolana, em plena guerra civil. A história por detrás de uma obra de arte pode ser ela também um autêntico romance. "Eu fui acompanhar um amigo meu, um belo português, que ia montar uma agência de publicidade em Luanda e eu também estava interessada no tipo de construção dos musseques que são os 'bidonvilles' de Luanda. O interesse destas casas precárias é que elas são feitas de restos de embalagem de caixas e queria mostrar que, mesmo assim, são bonitas. Há uma vontade das pessoas que constroem, de fazer uma casa bonita. E então comecei a circular nos musseques, a ver como é que era. Com a Guerra da Independência, recebi uma bolsa da Fundação Gulbenkian para ir fotografar os musseques, porque havia incêndios e tinham medo que os musseques acabassem por desaparecer da cidade. E eu, como era uma coisa histórica, queria muito fixar isso do ponto de vista sociológico e do ponto de vista artístico", começa por recordar a artista. "Tinha pedido um Jipe para chegar às portas dos musseques porque havia esse combate dentro dos musseques e um guarda com uma arma no bolso, escondida, vestido à paisana para me mostrar os caminhos que eu podia tomar. Então fui ver e falar com as pessoas e fui muito bem recebida. As pessoas diziam 'vem fotografar a minha casa. A minha casa é bonita'. E então estava muito entusiasmada. Eu trabalhava das oito horas da manhã até ao pôr-do-sol. E agora, 50 anos depois, eu retomei estas fotografias que estavam inéditas, decidindo trabalhar sobre elas. E fiz para este salão e fiz fotografias pintadas porque lá na África não há cor, o sol come tudo e então as cores que eu pus em cima das fotografias a preto e branco são minhas cores", conta ainda a fotógrafa que refere não ter mais regressado a Angola desde essa época. "Estava muito triste com a guerra", explica a artista que todavia revela que em breve, no próximo mês de Fevereiro, volta pela primeira vez a Luanda para apresentar as suas fotografias. Renée Gagnon, fez parte, juntamente com o pintor moçambicano Ernesto Shikhani ou ainda a ceramista, também ela de Moçambique, Reinata Sadimba, dos artistas cujas obras foram colocadas em destaque neste salão pela Perve Galeria, um espaço no coração de Lisboa, que tem trabalhado para dar a conhecer o fervilhar da criação artística dos países de África Lusófona. Entrevistado pela RFI, o director desta estrutura, Carlos Cabral Nunes, uma presença assídua do salão, lamenta que a arte de África Lusófona não seja mais conhecida e que as instituições culturais em Portugal não demonstrem mais interesse. "Há ainda muito a fazer e eu penso que isso é uma responsabilidade também nossa. Quando digo nossa, é em Portugal, porque é o país da União Europeia que de facto tem uma possibilidade de ajudar nesse processo de internacionalização, desde logo dos mestres de língua portuguesa em África e, por essa via, depois também chegar às novas gerações e dar, no fundo, esse apoio para uma certa continuação de um discurso que é um discurso com uma matriz cultural própria", diz o galerista. "Por exemplo, o Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea, no Chiado, presumo que não tenha nada relativo a estes grandes mestres de língua portuguesa. A própria colecção do Estado português também tem uma escassez tremenda. O próprio Museu Berardo, a Colecção Berardo, não. E por aí fora. Quer dizer, há excepções, a própria Gulbenkian, também tem muito pouca coisa. E, portanto, há aí uma grande lacuna", observa Carlos Cabral Nunes. "Posso dar um exemplo muito recente, uma das obras mais impactantes que apresentámos na Frieze Masters, em Londres, que foi destacada na feira pelo Observer, pelo Monde, pelo quotidiano de arte, etc. O embaixador de Portugal em Londres perguntou-me 'mas esta obra, porque é que não fica em Portugal?' E eu disse 'Eu por mim até estava disposto a fazer um preço especial'. Mas não posso andar a bater às portas, a pedir para ficarem com a obra. E é óbvio que é uma obra que de repente entra num circuito internacional e tem uma série de museus de várias partes interessadas na sua aquisição. E nós queremos, de facto, que as obras cheguem ao público desde logo. Continuamos muito presos, infelizmente, àquela noção que eu gostava que já tivesse morrido há muitos anos, do 'Orgulhosamente Sós'", conclui. Também presente no salão, a Movart Gallery dá igualmente destaque aos nomes já conhecidos ou ainda por descobrir da África Lusófona, como o mestre angolano António Olé ou o fotógrafo moçambicano Mário Macilau, cuja foto a preto e branco estilizada de uma mulher foi a "capa" do visual da mostra. A responsável desta galeria considera que subsiste muito por fazer na divulgação do trabalho dos artistas de África Lusófona. "Ainda é um bocadinho desconhecida por aí. A nossa missão é importante, de dar a conhecer e contar estas histórias para todo o mundo", considera a galerista para quem se "está no início de um grande caminho que ainda há a percorrer". Janire Bilbao não deixa contudo de apontar que "muitas vezes parece um pouco constrangedor, porque é um nicho muito pequeno e às vezes é preciso mais apoio das instituições". A fechar a nossa visita pelo salão AKAA, voltamos a ouvir Nú Barreto, não só na qualidade de artista mas também de curador de eventos culturais que tal como Janire Bilbao e Carlos Cabral Nunes, julga que ainda há muito caminho a percorrer para valorizar a criação africana, em primeiro lugar no próprio continente. "Os africanos sempre criaram. Essa criação sempre foi acompanhada e desenvolvida. E continua a ser. Agora, o que acontece é uma escassez em termos de promoção, em termos de divulgação dessas sabedorias e a própria forma de tentarem conter essa criação, esse dinamismo todo criativo que existe para que possa ser desenvolvido e o continente possa usufruir desses valores todos. Infelizmente, o desequilíbrio do continente, as formas de fazerem no continente, em certos países ou na maioria dos países, faz com que esses valores tenham tendência a se exportarem e ficarem fora, onde vão brilhar lá fora. No meu caso, o meu país não tem nada estruturado. Não existe uma política cultural no meu país para que as coisas possam funcionar como deveriam ser", aponta Nú Barreto. "Há países que estão a sair aos poucos. Benim, Costa do Marfim, África do Sul. É um caso um pouco particular. Gana, Nigéria. Estão a sair aos poucos. Estão a propor coisas bastante interessantes em termos do desenvolvimento cultural, de promoção da cultura dentro do próprio país. Sentia-me muito feliz que muitos países tentassem encontrar, em conformidade com as suas realidades, a forma de proporcionar mais, de apoiar mais a cultura, porque ninguém vive sem cultura", conclui o artista guineense.

People from both sides of the Taiwan Strait said that no separatist forces can erase the shared history and national identity that bind people across the Strait, as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration to China was commemorated in Beijing.在北京纪念台湾光复80周年之际,海峡两岸同胞表示,任何分裂势力都无法抹去联结两岸同胞的共同历史与民族认同。A grand gathering celebrating the anniversary was held in Beijing on Saturday. It marked the first Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration, following an official designation on Friday by the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature.周六,北京举行纪念台湾光复80周年盛大集会。此前一日(周五),中国最高立法机关——第十四届全国人民代表大会常务委员会正式设立“台湾光复纪念日”,本次集会是该纪念日设立后的首次纪念活动。Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, addressed the event, calling on compatriots on both sides of the Strait to work together to advance national reunification and to firmly oppose all forms of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.全国政协主席王沪宁在集会上发表讲话,呼吁海峡两岸同胞共同努力推进祖国统一大业,坚决反对任何形式的“台独”分裂活动。Wang stressed that the establishment of the commemoration day demonstrated the unwavering commitment of all Chinese people to uphold the one-China principle and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.王沪宁强调,设立“台湾光复纪念日”,彰显了全体中国人民坚定维护一个中国原则、捍卫国家主权和领土完整的不变决心。After the event, several guests from Taiwan said the commemoration had strengthened their confidence in the nation's eventual reunification.集会结束后,多位台湾嘉宾表示,此次纪念活动增强了他们对祖国最终实现统一的信心。Justin Lin Yifu, a Taiwan-born economist and professor at Peking University, said that Taiwan's restoration to China and the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) should be remembered by all Chinese people.出生于台湾的经济学家、北京大学教授林毅夫指出,台湾光复回归中国与中国人民抗日战争(1931-1945年)的胜利,是全体中国人民应当铭记的历史。"The course of history will not be altered by the obstruction of a small handful of people," he said, adding that the commemoration day strengthens pride in being Chinese.“历史进程不会因少数人的阻挠而改变,”林毅夫表示,“设立这一纪念日,进一步增强了我们的民族自豪感。”WuRong-yuan, chairperson of Taiwan's Labor Party, said the establishment of the commemoration day demonstrated to the world that commemorating Taiwan's restoration is the heartfelt, shared wish of compatriots on both sides of the Strait.台湾劳动党主席吴荣元表示,“台湾光复纪念日”的设立向世界表明,纪念台湾光复是海峡两岸同胞共同的深切心愿。"Our shared bonds and memories cannot be severed by any external forces or separatists," he emphasized.“我们之间的血脉联结与共同记忆,任何外部势力和分裂分子都无法割裂。”他强调道。Wu added that the decision provided strong legal and political support for all patriotic forces committed to advancing the cause of national reunification.吴荣元补充称,这一决定为所有致力于推进祖国统一事业的爱国力量提供了坚实的法律与政治支撑。On Oct 25, 1945, the ceremony to accept Japan's surrender in the Taiwan province of the China war theater of the Allied powers was held in Taipei. From that moment, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were restored to China's sovereign jurisdiction.1945年10月25日,同盟国中国战区台湾省受降仪式在台北举行。自那一刻起,台湾及澎湖列岛重新回归中国主权管辖之下。Shaw Kai-ping, honorary president of the association for relatives of patriots in Taiwan who fought against Japanese aggression, said it was a great honor for Oct 25 to be established as a national commemoration day. Shaw's father and grandfather both took part in the resistance against Japanese occupation.台湾抗日爱国志士亲属联谊会荣誉会长萧开平表示,将10月25日设立为国家级纪念日,是一件意义重大的事。萧开平的父亲与祖父均曾参与反抗日本殖民统治的斗争。"This decision shows that the motherland has not forgotten the people of Taiwan, and that reunification is destined to be achieved," Shaw said.“这一决定表明,祖国没有忘记台湾同胞,统一大业注定实现。”萧开平说。Chi Hsing, honorary chairman of the Reunification Alliance Party in Taiwan, said he had long awaited the establishment of the commemoration day. "As the historical truth comes to light, more and more people are gaining a clearer understanding of what really happened," Chi said.台湾统一联盟党荣誉主席纪欣表示,她一直期盼“台湾光复纪念日”的设立。“随着历史真相的不断揭示,越来越多的人开始清晰了解当年的真实情况。”纪欣说。The Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council hosted a reception in Beijing on Saturday, attended by guests from both Taiwan and the mainland who had participated in the earlier gathering.中共中央台湾工作办公室、国务院台湾事务办公室于周六在北京举办招待会,出席此前纪念集会的两岸嘉宾受邀参加。Song Tao, head of both offices, said at the reception that establishing the commemoration day on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration fully reflects the will of the people and the resolve of the nation.两办主任宋涛在招待会上表示,在台湾光复80周年之际设立这一纪念日,充分体现了人民的意愿与国家的决心。"We are confident in advancing the great cause of national reunification and enhancing the well-being of our Taiwan compatriots," Song said.“我们有信心推进祖国统一伟大事业,增进台湾同胞福祉。”宋涛说。Chi Hsing, publisher of The Observer magazine in Taiwan, said the decision reflects the shared aspirations of the vast majority of Taiwan compatriots.台湾《观察》杂志发行人纪欣表示,设立“台湾光复纪念日”的决定,反映了绝大多数台湾同胞的共同心声。"It will carry forward the patriotic tradition, reaffirm that both sides of the Strait belong to one China, and inspire pride in being Chinese," she said.“这将传承爱国传统,重申海峡两岸同属一个中国,激发民族自豪感。”她说。Ji Bin, vice-chairman of the All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, said the restoration of Taiwan is solid evidence of the Chinese government's resumption of sovereignty over Taiwan and a crucial link in the historical and legal chain of Taiwan being part of China.中华全国台湾同胞联谊会副会长纪斌指出,台湾光复是中国政府恢复对台湾行使主权的铁证,也是台湾作为中国一部分的历史与法律链条中的关键一环。"No matter how the Democratic Progressive Party and its politicians distort the truth of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression, deny the achievements of the war victory, downplay or deny the historical significance of Taiwan's restoration, and collude with external forces to promote the fallacy of 'Taiwan's undetermined status', they cannot distort or undermine the historical and legal fact that Taiwan belongs to China," Ji said.“无论民进党及其政客如何歪曲抗日战争史实、否认抗战胜利成果、淡化甚至否定台湾光复的历史意义,勾结外部势力宣扬‘台湾地位未定论'谬论,都无法歪曲和改变台湾属于中国的历史与法律事实。”纪斌说。In Taipei, the memorial association of the Chinese war of resistance against Japanese aggression in Taiwan and the Chinese Kuomintang party jointly held a celebration on Saturday marking the anniversary of Taiwan's restoration.在台北,台湾抗日民族统一战线纪念会与中国国民党于周六联合举办台湾光复80周年纪念活动。Overseas Chinese from both sides of the Strait also celebrated the commemoration day in various forms. Chinese embassies in countries including the United States, Japan, Brazil and Indonesia held symposiums marking the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration on the day of commemoration.海外两岸侨胞也以多种形式庆祝这一纪念日。中国驻美国、日本、巴西、印度尼西亚等国的大使馆,均在纪念日当天举办台湾光复80周年座谈会。In New York City, hundreds of Chinese compatriots from both sides of the Strait gathered in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens borough on Friday to celebrate the anniversary.在纽约,数百名两岸同胞于周五齐聚皇后区法拉盛社区,共同庆祝台湾光复80周年。separatist/ˈseprətɪst/adj.分裂主义的,分离主义的sovereignty /ˈsɒvrənti/n.主权;最高统治权jurisdiction/ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃn/n.管辖权,司法权

Since the release of their debut full length in 2015, ACTOR OBSERVER from Boston, MA have become a well-respected musical force throughout New England. Their dynamic sound and electric live performance are charged with a visceral sincerity and vulnerability that audience members find refreshing in the current age of post-hardcore. On 2022's ‘Songs For The Newly Reclusive' the quintet explored a broad range of emotional and musical depth, confronting topics of gentrification, toxic masculinity, generational trauma, and isolation amidst a clamoring world in distress. The resulting sound was their most focused and impactful album yet, garnering them a spot on the 2023 Boston Calling Music Festival (alongside legacy acts such as Foo Fighters, Paramore and Queens of the Stone Age) and a tour with metalcore heavyweights He Is Legend. After kicking off 2025 opening for The Used at House of Blues in Boston, AO signed with Dynamic Talent International for booking. Since then they have toured all over the eastern half of the US, northeast Canada with Kaonashi, and released two new singles, with a third on the way. Thanks for listening!!!

Vous est-il déjà arrivé de vous dire : « j'ai trop mangé » ?Ce moment où l'on sent que c'était un peu trop, où la culpabilité s'installe, où le mental prend le dessus. Très vite, surgit l'envie de “compenser”, de “se reprendre”, ou simplement de s'en vouloir.Dans cet épisode, je vous propose une autre voie : celle de la résilience alimentaire. Tiens, comme c'est bizarre, le 13 octobre, c'est la journée internationale de la résilience... :)Alors alors... Plutôt que de vous juger, et si vous appreniez à comprendre ce qui s'est réellement passé ?À reconnaître qu'il y a eu un déséquilibre, mais que cela ne remet pas tout en en cause.Je partage avec vous ma manière d'aborder ces situations à travers trois étapes simples et concrètes :1️⃣ Faire une pause. Prendre un instant pour ne rien faire.2️⃣ Observer avec curiosité. Comprendre vos comportements sans accusation, avec douceur.3️⃣ Reprendre le fil. Poser des gestes calmes, bienveillants et nourrissants pour revenir à vous.Mon intention n'est pas de vous dire quoi manger, ni de vous donner une méthode de plus.Je veux simplement vous aider à retrouver une relation apaisée à la nourriture, à sortir du cycle culpabilité → punition, et à renforcer votre capacité à rebondir.Parce que la résilience, ce n'est pas de manger parfaitement.C'est de savoir quoi faire quand on ne l'a pas fait.C'est cette faculté à reconnaître, accueillir, puis avancer, sans rester coincé dans le jugement.Je vous invite à explorer avec moi cette façon plus douce d'habiter vos repas :

London-based photographer and writer Michael Collins talks about: The flat where he's lived for 35 years, which is getting ‘Wallace & Gromit' crowded; how he keeps film in his deep freeze (aka freezer) as opposed to anything edible, and how he's happy to shop for the day, while he points out that Brits see American refrigerators and are overwhelmed by how large they are; and by the way, we're also bludgeoned by advertising here, compared with the UK and Europe; how he sees our social media consumption as giving in to the impulsive at the expense of the rational, a battle he gives in to daily for a half hour on IG…and how sometimes, you just want to look at a panda falling out of a tree; why readers (of books) make better viewers of artworks; how when his photographs are printed at full scale (4 x 5 feet) you can walk into them and how part of photography's schtick is that it's nosy, that it admits everything in it; his takeaways from giving a presentation at the Hampstead Photographic Society, in which have the members bolted for the door at the break; the importance of 19th century photography to understanding the history of photography, and how it's not shown enough in museums (at least in London); how he started studying politics, but switched over to art, initially stumbling into photography as an editor at a teenage girl's magazine, then moving to The Observer, and then he became picture editor at the Daily Telegraph, where he realized, amidst a more rushed editorial structure that went with predictable stock photographers, that the most interesting photography was not there to fulfill another's agenda, but in pursuit of independence, to fulfill its own agenda. This podcast relies on listener support; please consider becoming a Patreon supporter of the podcast, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd half of our conversation (available on Patreon), Michael talks about: The challenges of evolving and following your own path at the expense of taking the more marketable route, which means maintaining your integrity, and how his photographs, and his writing are both better than ever; the complex and fulfilling experience he had visiting and re-visiting a Jeff Wall museum exhibition; how the photographer Martin Parr dominates the scene in Britain, and how all his pictures look roughly the same, and yet he's kind of this hero in the country, through the ‘steamroll of publicity,' and how there's far more depth, wealth and nuance out there than we're being allowed…; his first art review (for The Daily Telegraph), of Andreas Gursky's exhibition at Tate Liverpool, which uncovered a surprising digital edit, one he was turned on to by one of the museum custodians, and when he wrote the review that included his misgivings about the work, the Tate press office told him he was being cruel (to which he replied, “that's not being cruel, that's being honest”), and how another artist's agent threatened to sue for a negative review; our respective takes on art writing and criticism, in terms of what he appreciates vs. can't tolerate, and what I appreciate and can't tolerate; more about the world of magazine editing, which he describes as being a lifetime ago…; and finally, to wind down our conversation, we talk about his book, Blind Corners, which features several essays exploring across the spectrum of photography and photography's history; in particular we review a passage where he compares Americana via Kodachrome and Hollywood light with the dull, austere light of Britain, and he goes on to call out Dubai as the culmination of late capitalism.

Generally speaking, this is my most listened to show of the year, so thank you and strap in. Over the past several months this podcast has focused on many of the people who had not yet made the ballot. That gives me much more latitude on today's show to dive into the people and process of the Hall of Fame, examine the ballot, and on the second half of the show I throw a curveball to the process which makes for a very interesting segment. Also, I am preparing a suggestion for Dave Meltzer about how to handle the pioneer era of wrestling.
Welcome to the Like Attracts Like Mindshift Challenge! Over the next 21 days, we are dropping a podcast a day with our most powerful mindset shifts and techniques. Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 6, we are introducing you to who you really are. If you are not your mind and the stories that it tells, then who are you? You are the space between the thoughts, the observer of them, the infinite being that is connected to and one with life. Today, we are taking the first step to connect with that truth. Action Step Today: Sit in silence and quiet your mind. As thoughts come up, don't attach or judge them, just observe them. See if you can connect with the space between the thoughts -- the one who is just allowing them to come and go-- this is who you are. As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule https://hoo.be/patmahan CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Do you find yourself believing every thought your brain throws at you? Our brains are wired to keep us safe, which often means defaulting to negativity and imagining worst-case scenarios. These patterns can create shame, frustration, and old habits that keep us stuck, including patterns around pornography use.In this episode, I explore how you can step back and observe your thoughts instead of automatically identifying with them. Thoughts aren't facts, and simply noticing them can release the pressure, fear, and self-criticism that so often hold us back. I walk you through practical ways to practice being the observer each day, guiding your human body with care, and letting love, rather than judgment, direct your decisions.

In the summer of 1977, single mother Margaret Hodgson called the police to her council estate apartment in Enfield, London to report that she and her two daughters, Janet and Peggy, had seen furniture move in the apartment and were hearing strange noises coming from within the walls. That simple albeit unusual call set in motion a chain of events that would thrust the unassuming Hodgson family into the center of a debate about the existence of the supernatural and forever associate them with one of England's most notorious paranormal cases, the Enfield poltergeist.Over the course of roughly eighteen months, the family claimed they were subjected to a variety of supernatural harassment that ranged from moving furniture and knocking in the walls to disembodied voices and even involuntary levitation. Soon after the report was made to the police, the story attracted a variety of news outlets and paranormal investigators, all determined to either prove the case a genuine poltergeist or a hoax perpetrated by two adolescent attention-seeking girls.Nearly fifty years later, the case remains controversial among skeptics and believers, all of whom want to know what exactly did happen in the Hodgson's apartment and who—or what—is to blame for the disturbances.Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!

My guest is Dr. Christof Koch, PhD, a pioneering researcher on the topic of consciousness, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. We discuss the neuroscience of consciousness—how it arises in our brain, how it shapes our identity and how we can modify and expand it. Dr. Koch explains how we all experience life through a unique “perception box,” which holds our beliefs, our memories and thus our biases about reality. We discuss how human consciousness is changed by meditation, non-sleep deep rest, psychedelics, dreams and virtual reality. We also discuss neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), flow states and the ever-changing but also persistent aspect of the “collective consciousness” of humanity.

In Episode 272: The Spirit Observer, guest Wes shares with us about different entities he has seen throughout his life. These entities do not seem specific to one particular place or event - Wes is a frequent traveler and has seen things appear in many different places. In this episode, we discuss whether he is being followed by supernatural entities or if he can see things that most other people cannot. Some people seem to have the preternatural ability to perceive the spirit world around them, and Wes may just be one of those people!
