 Was Albert Einstein's brilliance a solo act… or was someone quietly working beside him—only to be forgotten by history?In this episode of An Ounce, we uncover the story of Mileva Marić: Einstein's first wife, a brilliant physicist, and possibly the uncredited partner behind one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all time.From love letters filled with equations to the mystery of a missing diploma and a vanished child, this story raises one bold question:Who really wrote E=mc²?________________________________________

LORD OF ALL OUR WORK (EPHESIANS 6:5-8) Let me ask you an important question about your relationship with Jesus Christ.  Is Jesus Christ the Lord of all of your life?  Is He the Lord of all of your wealth?  Is He the Lord of all of your worship, is He the Lord of all your family, and is He the Lord of all your work?  This is an important question for us today, because if Jesus is not Lord of all of your life, then He is not Lord at all.  Jesus will not be Lord over a divided kingdom that is your life.  He will not share His throne with Satan. Today, Paul writes to us about making Jesus Christ the Lord of All of Our Work. Now, most of the people who are listening to me, who are adults, have a job. You are employed.  Either in a secular job, or a spiritual job.  You see, even for those who have retired from their secular job, they still have a role, or a job, assigned to them by God.  There is no retirement in the service of the Lord.  If you are still breathing, then God has a job for you. Let me ask you, is your job, that you spend a third of your life at, really meaningful to you, or is it just something that is necessary, and perhaps very boring?  How would you like to have that boredom changed to blessing? How would you like to have that drudgery turned to delight? How would you like to have that monotony turned into something that is momentous, and exhilarating, and thrilling, and meaningful?  You might say, in order for me to do that, then I would surely have to change jobs.  Maybe not. I want to show you today how you can take your job, no matter what it is, if it is not immoral, and translate it from the secular to the savory; and how your job can become a ministry, how your job can become the temple of your devotion and the lampstand for your witness. I believe that is exactly what the Apostle Paul is talking about here when He is talking about slaves serving their masters for the glory of God. It is an important Biblical truth that God chooses ordinary people, gives them supernatural power, and does extraordinary things through ordinary people.  But listen. Here is the secret. God does extraordinary things with ordinary people in ordinary places.  Click on the play button to hear a message on how you should see your job, whatever your job is.  As a partnership with God.  As a service to yourself, and service to others, and as the lampstand of your devotion. This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

Gianna, Michael, and Jason discuss the challenges of being image-bearers in different work environments and the temptation to prioritize career advancement over living out new creation values. They explore the idea that work is a form of worship and how it should be done with excellence and for the glory of God because work is not just a necessary evil or a means to an end, but a noble calling that reflects the values of new creation. They conclude with examples of how individuals can live out the new creation in their work, even in challenging circumstances.Chapters00:00 – Introduction08:00 - Approaching Work with Worship and Service15:27 - Challenging the Notion of Retirement in Heaven19:16 -Living Out New Creation in Our Work25:19 - Expanding Eden Through Our Work33:36 - Living as the New Creation in Our Vocations37:32 - Challenges of Being the New Creation in Different Work Environments52:11 - Work as a Form of Worship55:36 - Excellence and Humility in Our Work01:06:08 - Serving Others as the New Creation in Our Work

Adam Bastock was enjoying a successful career in digital marketing when he realised the planet was in crisis and decided to do something about it. In 2020 he set up Small99 with a mission to help the UK's small businesses become more sustainable and reduce their carbon footprint. He's gone from strength to strength since then. Adam is the brain behind People, Planet, Pint – a social meetup for anyone concerned about climate change and sustainability. Originally devised as a meetup after COP22 in Adam's hometown of Glasgow, PPP has gone on to operate in 75 cities across 10 countries. Community, it's clear, is a great catalyst and enabler of change. In this episode Jen, Cat and Dom chat with Adam to hear how SME's are responding to the climate crisis and what role he thinks communication plays in successful community building and behaviour change. About Adam Adam is the founder of Small99. Small99™ is helping small businesses to take positive action to reduce their carbon footprint to become more sustainable and profitable. Vision - Our Ambition To create the Small99™ Carbon Reduction Community – a positive and energetic force that supports small businesses to make their vital contribution to the UK's carbon reduction targets. Mission At Small99™ we provide practical support, tools and local meetups to start 1 million small businesses on their path to net zero by 2025. We're doing this because existing guidance often overlooks small businesses, yet 99% of businesses in the UK employ fewer than 49 employees - together they can make a huge contribution to reducing the UK's carbon output. Our Story Small99™ is helping small businesses to take positive action to reduce their carbon footprint to become more sustainable and profitable. The UK's small business community has the power to make a vital contribution to our carbon reduction targets. Small99™ is creating a movement for change – a movement that is empowering small businesses by creating a portfolio of practical tools, support and networking opportunities. The Small99™ process is practical, approachable and, importantly, it aligns with the targets of companies like Microsoft. It enables small businesses to evaluate their footprint, set targets for reducing it and measure their progress. The Small99™ team is ambitious for change and aims to connect with one million businesses by 2025 – businesses that can, with our help, improve their sustainability and profitability and help the UK meet its carbon reduction targets. How we do it You can join us at our People, Planet, Pint™ events held across the UK and internationally. They're a great way to meet other small businesses, to share your challenges, ideas and experiences so that you can learn from others. You can attend one of our CRAB (Carbon Reduction Action Box) workshops where, in a couple of hours, you can create a baseline for your carbon reduction plan, scope your next steps and make some good connections along the way. You can access our online Carbon Reduction Measurement tool to help you take action and monitor your progress. It's a simple, effective and accessible and provides the information you need to plan for and reduce your carbon Footprint. You can get expert support from our team when you need help to stay on track. You can estimate your digital carbon footprint quickly in detail too. Already, we've engaged with more than 9,000 businesses in the past 2 years through our workshops, tools and events. We organise around 60 events a month across the world to bring small businesses together - including Chicago, Singapore and Australia. Join the Small99™ Carbon Reduction Movement – it's simple, accessible anddesigned to help you and your business to become more sustainable and Profitable.   Our Work Small99 has directly trained over 6,000 businesses in the past 2 years on the topic of Net Zero, focusing on small businesses that were feeling overwhelmed and confused by the existing guidance available. Adam Bastock, Small99 Founder, studied at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leaders (CISL), and has since worked with multiple organisations throughout the UK under the Small99™ brand. Some of Small99's partnerships include: “Net Zero 360”, with Clean Growth UK, to guide hundreds of businesses to measure and reduce their footprint. The development and delivery of lightweight, first step, sustainability workshops with Small Business Britain. “Step up to Net Zero” with Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, a fully funded placement program for 60 businesses. Scottish Council of Voluntary Organizations, to develop tools for “Growing Climate Confidence”, a ‘where to start' resource for the third sector.   For full details, see “Our Work”.

The season's third episode takes us back to George Brown College's 32nd annual Labour Fair in Toronto, ‘Corporate Power vs. Labour Power: It's Our Work!!'  Professor Benjamin McCarthy facilitates a discussion featuring Lauren Ravon, executive director of Oxfam Canada and Jared Ong, organizer and case worker with the Workers' Action Centre. Together, they discuss how this new age of corporate-driven inequality impacts workers on the ground and the hope that lies within working peoples' solidarity. Reflecting on how government should be investing in work, Ravon says: “ …When we think of what the government can invest in, when we talk about a Green Transition, the care economy is a great one. We have an aging population. Care services provide huge value to communities and also just create happier and healthier communities and they're low emissions. One of our alternatives is saying tax windfall profits, tax the super wealthy and invest in the care economy. This is also a sector that employs mostly women and racialized folks. You're creating employment opportunities. They're seen as less desirable jobs, not because they're inherently less interesting jobs than working in mining ... It's because they're not well paid. But we really see investments in the care economy as actually one of the solutions to the inequality crisis today and the climate crisis.”  On the necessity of being politically engaged, Ong says: “..when we talk about how we organize, sometimes people say we have the power to vote. But I would say voting is just one piece that people do every four years or less that actually changes the government. We can do things in between to actually make changes happen. I used to have hair, and then I became an activist and look at me. So sometimes I think, you know, all that work and why did I do it? But people have been winning. When I first started out, people were like $15 minimum wage, it's never going to happen. And today, a couple of years later, people are like $15, hell no, that's not enough ... So I do tangibly feel on the street that things are changing.” About the guests: Lauren Ravon, executive director of Oxfam Canada, is a committed feminist and social justice advocate with more than 15 years of international development experience. Ravon has been with Oxfam Canada since 2011, holding a number of roles – including director of Policy and Campaigns – and working tirelessly to put women's rights at the heart of the global Oxfam confederation. Before joining Oxfam, Ravon worked at the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development (Rights & Democracy), where she was program manager for the Americas and oversaw the Centre's office and human rights programming in Haiti. She has also worked on programs to tackle gender-based violence and promote sexual and reproductive rights with Planned Parenthood Global and the International Rescue Committee. Lauren sits on the board of directors of the Humanitarian Coalition. Jared Ong is an organizer and case worker with the Workers Action Centre. He empowers workers with the tools and community to stand up against bad bosses and protect themselves at work. But he also knows that systemic changes must happen Ontario-wide to raise the bar for all our workers because our minimum labour standards are not enough.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Maternal Health Initiative is Shutting Down, published by Ben Williamson on March 15, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Maternal Health Initiative (MHI) was founded out of Charity Entrepreneurship (AIM)'s 2022 Incubation Program and has since piloted two interventions integrating postpartum (post-birth) contraceptive counselling into routine care appointments in Ghana. We concluded this pilot work in December 2023. A stronger understanding of the context and impact of postpartum family planning work, on the back of our pilot results, has led us to conclude that our intervention is not among the most cost-effective interventions available. We've therefore decided to shut down and redirect our funding to other organisations. This article summarises MHI's work, our assessment of the value of postpartum family planning programming, and our decision to shut down MHI as an organisation in light of our results. We also share some lessons learned. An in-depth report expanding on the same themes is available on our website. We encourage you to skip to the sections that are of greatest interest: For people interested in the practicalities of development work, we recommend 'MHI: An Overview of Our Work'. For those interested in family planning programming, we recommend 'Pilot: Results', 'Why We No Longer Believe Postpartum Family Planning Is Among The Most Cost-Effective Interventions', and 'Broader Thoughts on Family Planning'. Finally, for those interested in broader lessons around entrepreneurship and organisation-building, we recommend 'Choosing to Shut Down' and 'Lessons'. Why we chose to pursue postpartum family planning Why family planning? Pregnancy-related health outcomes are a leading cause of preventable death among both mothers and children. In 2017, almost 300,000 women and girls died due to either pregnancy or childbirth ( WHO, 2017). Cleland et al. ( 2006) estimate that comprehensive access to contraception could avert more than 30% of maternal deaths and 10% of child mortality globally. Contraceptive access provides a wide range of other potential benefits, the most significant of which may be increasing reproductive autonomy for women who want to space or limit births and currently have limited options for doing so. Why postpartum (post-birth)? Postpartum family planning (PPFP) - that is, integrating family planning guidance into postnatal care and/or child immunisation appointments- has been identified as an effective way of increasing contraceptive uptake and reducing unmet need ( Wayessa et al. (2020); Saeed et al. (2008); Tran et al. (2020); Tran et al. (2019); Pearson et al. (2020); Dulli et al. (2016). The maternal and infant mortality risks from short birth spacing make the postpartum period a potential point of particular value from increased contraceptive access. Demographic Health Survey (DHS) analysis suggests an 18% increase in neonatal mortality, 21% increase in child mortality, and 32% increase in mortality risk from births that occur within two years of a prior pregnancy (Kozuki and Walker's 2013; Conde-Agudelo et al. 2007). While it is often an official policy that family planning counselling should be included in postnatal care (Ghana Health Service, 2014), the consistency and quality of family planning services in the postpartum period vary in practice ( Morhe et al. 2017). MHI: An overview of our work Charity Entrepreneurship ( AIM) recommended postpartum family planning as part of the 2022 Incubation Program through which MHI was founded. As such, MHI has had an explicit focus on postpartum family planning work since its beginning. We spent our first few months interviewing a few dozen experts, getting up to speed with research in the field, and selecting priority target countries. Based on this work, we visited Sierra Leone and Ghana in...

1-28-24 | Part 3 of our Colossians sermons series, "We Struggle in Our Work". Today's Bible verses are Colossians 1:24-2:5. When Paul wrote his letter to the church in Colosse from prison, he taught them that Christ is all that matters. Not religious rituals, not current culture teaching, but Christ is enough.  This series looks verse-by-verse in the book of Colossians to see what the Holy Spirit is telling the Church about how to live as the body of Christ.

Sermon Text: Colossians 3:22-4:1 Sermon Title: “Work as Witness” Sermon Slides: SLIDE 1 – Today's Big Idea: Since Jesus has Risen from the Dead, Our Work Must Also Rise with Him… Even if Our Circumstances Haven't. SLIDE 2 – Genesis 3:17-19 – “And to Adam he said, ‘Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you … By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground …” SLIDE 3 – Romans 8:20-21 – “For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.” SLIDE 4 – Sermon Point 1 – Our Work in a Fallen World … Has Been Redeemed by the Risen Lord (Col. 3:22 and 4:1) SLIDE 5 – Galatians 3:28 – “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” SLIDE 6 – 2 Corinthians 4:5 – “For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants [slaves] for Jesus' sake.” SLIDE 7 – 1 Corinthians 9:19 – “For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.” SLIDE 8 – 1 Corinthians 7:22 – “For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ.” SLIDE 9 – Sermon Point 2 – Our Work in a Fallen World … Should be Motivated by the Risen Lord (Col. 3:23-25) SLIDE 10 – Galatians 1:10 – “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” SLIDE 11 – 2 Peter 1:10-11 – “Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” SLIDE 12 – Luke 16:10-12 – “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much … If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?” SLIDE 13 – 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 – “According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.” SLIDE 14 – Five Uses of This Sermon for Your Life SLIDE 15 – Employees: Our Danger is to Underperform and Fail to See Past our Earthly Bosses. SLIDE 16 – Bosses: Our Danger is to Overcorrect and Fail to See Past our Earthly Employees. SLIDE 17 – The Key to our Work is Not Earthly Success, but Godly Faithfulness. SLIDE 18 – Christians: The World is Watching our Work. Who is it Witnessing to? SLIDE 19 – Amid Work Injustice – God is Calling us to both Pursue Flourishing and Endure Persecution. SLIDE 20 – 1 Corinthians 7:21 – “Were you a bondservant when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.)” SLIDE 21 – Romans 12:21 – “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

How do we receive freedom from frustration at our job? Mike Yoder speaks to the importance of devoting our work fully to the Lord, and how when we integrate faith into our work, we can see His Kingdom break out in powerful ways in his message, "Freedom in Our Work."

Taylor, who is transgender, suffers from chronic fatigue, is in a wheelchair, and is fed through a feeding tube to her stomach. Every year she has to speak to a new doctor for her annual checkup and explain again what they don't understand about her condition. Our Work together is mostly on one specific doctor who pushed her away, bullied her, then laughed at her. Taylor suffers from seizures due to these misunderstandings and then has to spend days of setbacks in bed. Do misunderstandings cause you occasional setbacks? Join Taylor and me as together we explore the cause of her suffering.   Don't miss Byron Katie every M-T-W, 9-10 am Pacific Time.

Join me on the Fast Track to Grant Writer: www.teresahuff.com/vip Mid-Year Check-In It's hard to believe the summer is half over already! Where did the year go? I don't know about you, but I'm a goal-setter, so mid-year is a good time to check in on my progress. Like most years, I've had a lot of unexpected things come up. It's a process of learning to roll with the changes and adjust as I go. As I evaluate how to move forward for the rest of this year, I thought it would be a good time to share a few tips I've learned to help you reach your goals. Make Progress with Micro-Habits One method of goal-setting is to set up micro-habits. Rather than setting ourselves up for failure with a huge goal we likely won't reach, where can we create micro-habits to set ourselves up for a nearly 100% win? Those have a surprisingly compounding effect. Micro-habits are small actions that help lead us towards our goals. They're easy to accomplish consistently and have a compounding effect. 7 Steps for Setting Micro-Habits for Success Assess Your Progress: Look at your goals from the beginning of the year. Are you on track? Have you accomplished what you hoped for by now? Don't be too hard on yourself if your progress isn't exactly where you expected it to be. Instead, use this time to evaluate, adjust, and adapt. Be Flexible Choose to adapt when life throws unexpected things at you. Keep pushing forward and don't give up. Be Deliberate When unexpected opportunities or hurdles come, deliberately decide where these things fit in the bigger picture. Be sure to pace yourself and take a rest when you need to. Be Intentional Be intentional when choosing your micro-habit. Consider the larger goal of who or what you want to become and identify a habit that will help you get there. Define and visualize where you want to be in the next month, three months, or by the end of the year. Be Strategic Identify areas where consistent action will have a meaningful impact on your larger objectives. Then integrate micro-habits into your existing daily routine by choosing a trigger. A trigger is a specific time or event in your day that serves as a reminder to do the new habit. Be Accountable Setting goals, micro-habits, and triggers is only half the battle. We all need accountability to stay on track. If you need an accountability partner, shoot me an email. Stay Clear on Your Vision Make sure your bigger purpose is clear. Why are you doing this? What will this move you closer to? That will help you stay motivated and on track. The key is to set a trigger and stick to it, because it takes about a month for a behavior to become a routine. By setting deliberate micro-habits strategically aligned with our bigger picture, we can actively work towards becoming better versions of ourselves each day. And you don't have to do it alone; I'm here to support you.  Keep pushing forward; you've got this!
