Can a villain in Scripture still function as a type of Christ?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour responds to criticism surrounding the claim that Saul — particularly in 1 Samuel 11 — can be understood typologically.Using Romans 5, Hebrews, biblical parallels, and examples from Adam, Jonah, Solomon, Cyrus, Isaac, and Saul, this episode explains how biblical typology works through both comparison and contrast.A type is not morally identical to Christ. Rather, Scripture uses patterns, echoes, and narrative structures to point us to Jesus as the greater and final fulfillment.This episode explores:• Biblical typology explained• Saul as a possible type of Christ• Adam and Christ parallels• Jonah as a foreshadowing pattern• Shadows and substance in Scripture• How the New Testament interprets the Old TestamentIf you enjoy covenant theology, biblical theology, typology, and Christ-centered interpretation of Scripture, subscribe to Eschatology Matters Network for weekly episodes.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

"They want the secret, and the secret is little and often over the long haul," says Dan John, author of several books on strength and fitness, most recently The Fitness Forge: Master Coaching Tools that Build Real Strength.Today we've got a bit of a curve ball, a backdoor slider, but not really. It's Dan John, who is something of a Swiss army knife of wisdom and kindness and strength and conditioning. He's been a long time strength coach and a master communicator of how to get real-life strong, not influencer, flash-in-the-pan strong, the kind of strong that allows you to fill out your shirt, carry all the groceries in one go, and shovel the driveway without leaving yourself in traction for four days.I've recommended his books many times on this show and in newsletters, and his approach to strength very much rhymes with writing, so that's a big reason why I wanted to invite him on to talk it out. You can visit danjohnuniversity.com to learn more about him and to buy books like the Easy Strength Omnibook, Easy Strength for Fat Loss, his two Armor Building Formula books and his latest The Fitness Forge: Master coaching tools that build real strength.The real crux of easy strength is that it echoes what Percy Cerutty, the Australian running coach, had his runners do in the 1950s, and it's an approachable system that doesn't feel like you've been put through a wood chipper. I spent most of my 30s training like I was a juiced up bodybuilder, hobbling around most days with that deep, bone ache. As I've aged, training in that manner is unfeasible and, well, fucking stupid, plus easy strength is awesome for running, which I'm doing quite a lot these days.So Dan John has been a champion discus thrower coming up on the coattails of the great throwers of the 1970s, guys like Brian Oldfield and Mac Wilkins and Peter Shmock. His lifting approach has always been geared around utility, not aesthetics, by and large. He has written many books like Mass Made Simple, 40 Years with a Whistle, Can You Go, Never Let Go, and several others. Some are only available on the big A, others are available as PDFS through his website.They imbue a sense of possibility, that things are achievable, and that little and often over the long haul is doable and repeatable. If you're into fads, Dan is not for you and he often injects so much personal anecdote and wisdom from a life of nearly 70 years into his work and his podcast, the Dan John University Podcasts where he answers listener questions every week.He's very centering for me. Even hearing him talk through something as simple as his daily pirate map, which is a collection of daily habits, and merely hearing him so often articulate that defrags my computer, if that makes any sense.So in this conversation, we talk about: Parasocial relationships Marvel and Greek heroes The spiderweb effect of his brain Open Culture Little and often over the long haul The secret Being a slave to habits Parallels between lifting and writing Collecting the links Getting small, easy wins out of the way Inspiration is for amateurs Having skin in the game And community making us greatYou'll find dan @coachdanjohn on instagram and of course visit danjohnuniversity.com to see if his books or his inner circle is right for you.

The parallels between the Yankees and Knicks are getting clearer by the day.
In early May 2026, transport vans rolled out of Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, carrying beagles toward new lives—grass under their paws, sunlight on their faces, and homes instead of stacked wire cages. Nearly 1,500 beagles were purchased by rescue organizations like Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Beagle Freedom Project after years of documented suffering at one of the nation's largest commercial beagle breeders for biomedical research. This outcome marks a rare, tangible win for animal advocates. But it came only after daring direct-action raids, mass protests met with tear gas and rubber bullets, a special prosecutor's investigation, and persistent legal pressure. Even now, roughly 500 dogs may remain behind as Ridglan winds down its commercial breeding operations by July 1, 2026. The Ridglan story is not just about one facility. It exposes deep, systemic failures in U.S. law that leave millions of animals in laboratories with minimal protections—and even those “covered” by federal rules often receive little meaningful relief. The Raids That Forced Change On March 15, 2026, activists from groups linked to the Coalition to Save the Ridglan Dogs breached fences and buildings at Ridglan Farms. They removed around 22–30 beagles. Some were successfully rehomed; others were recovered by police. However, an estimated 2000 beagles remained in captivity, potentially subject to additional horrific experimentation. Our guest, Dean Guzman Wyrzykowski, was one of these activists. A second, larger action on April 18 drew roughly 1,000 protesters to rescue the remaining beagles. Law enforcement responded with tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. No additional dogs could be rescued that day. Dozens of protesters were arrested, including our guest on The Breggin Hour, Dean Guzman Wyrzykowski, a San Francisco Bay Area-based animal rights activist and political organizer. He is co-founder of The Simple Heart Initiative—a nonprofit dedicated to advancing species equality through open rescue, impact litigation, undercover investigations, and activist training. With over eight years in nonprofit advocacy, Dean has recruited and trained hundreds of activists and is one of the lead organizers of the Ridglan campaign. He now faces serious felony burglary charges—potentially up to 12 years in prison—along with several co-defendants for the first March 15, 2026, rescue effort. Further charges may be pending. As a top priority, we urge that the charges be reduced or dropped to reflect the vastly important ethical basis of the actions of these animal advocates. How to Help Dean Dean reports that the best way to assist him with legal costs is to become a paid subscriber to his Substack at Urbananimal.substack.com. To support ending the breeding of dogs for lab testing, go to Save the Dogs, make a donation, and join over 111,581 others who have already signed the petition to end breeding of dogs for laboratory use. These weren't the first efforts to expose and stop the abuses of these dogs. Ridglan had faced scrutiny for years, including earlier investigations. The raids amplified public outrage and accelerated negotiations between rescuers and Ridglan Farms. In late April, rescue groups announced they had reached a deal to acquire ~1,500 dogs. Transports began in early May, with many “frosted face” seniors (older dogs with graying muzzles) now adjusting to life outside the facility—initially flinching at touch but quickly learning to wag tails and play. Decades of Alleged Cruelty at Ridglan — and Why It Is Winding Down Ridglan Farms operated for decades as a major supplier of beagles for testing. Former employees and state inspections described windowless warehouses, stacked cages over waste pits, high ammonia levels, rusted wires causing injuries, and routine surgeries (including eye procedures and devocalizations) performed without anesthesia or proper pain relief—sometimes by non-veterinarians. In 2025, Wisconsin's Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) cited Ridglan for hundreds of violations. A judge found probable cause for animal cruelty. Special Prosecutor Tim Gruenke was appointed to investigate. Rather than face criminal charges, Ridglan chose to wind down. In a negotiated settlement in late 2025, the company agreed to surrender its Wisconsin commercial dog-breeding license by July 1, 2026. This effectively ends its large-scale commercial breeding and sales of beagles to external laboratories. In exchange, the state dropped the threat of felony animal cruelty prosecutions. This agreement was driven by years of accumulated citations, whistleblower testimony, undercover investigations, and intense public and activist pressure. While Ridglan can still conduct limited on-site research under its federal USDA licenses, its days as a major commercial beagle supplier are over. Parallels with Envigo and Other Scandals Ridglan is far from isolated. In 2022, a major scandal erupted at Envigo's breeding facility in Cumberland, Virginia. PETA's undercover investigation revealed severe neglect: inadequate food, veterinary care, housing, and staffing; dead puppies were left among litters; and unqualified staff performed invasive procedures. The U.S. Department of Justice intervened, leading to the rescue of over 4,000 beagles—the largest such seizure in U.S. history. Envigo (and its parent company Inotiv) later pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the Animal Welfare Act and the Clean Water Act, agreeing to pay a record $35 million+ in fines and shutting down the breeding operation. From the Beagles to the Breggins, Senator Bill Stanley Sought Justice for the Underdog At a state level, key Virginia state legislators were involved in advocating for stronger animal welfare regulations in response to documented Animal Welfare Act violations, poor conditions, and high puppy mortality in the facility. Sen. Bill Stanley (R-Franklin County) was a leading champion at the state level. He visited the facility multiple times, co-sponsored several “Beagle Bills” in 2022 (e.g., SB 87, SB 88, SB 90, SB 604) to increase oversight, close loopholes for research animals, require adoption offers before euthanasia, and penalize repeat violators. He adopted two Envigo beagles (Daisy and Dixie) and worked on adoptions/rescues. We are especially happy to acknowledge Sen. Stanley's contributions because, among several attorneys we contacted to defend us against Robert Malone's lawfare defamation suit against us for $25 million, Bill was the first attorney willing to seriously pursue our case, which ended in the presiding judge throwing Malone's case out of court. From the beagles to the Breggins, Senator Stanley has sought justice for the underdog. The Sand Fly Experiments and High-Profile Scandals Public outrage over government-funded beagle suffering peaked in the early 2020s with revelations about NIH-funded experiments under Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). One widely criticized study involved beagle puppies in Tunisia exposed to sand flies carrying parasites (to study leishmaniasis). Reports described dogs having their heads locked in mesh cages filled with infected sand flies, being used as live bait in desert cages overnight, and in some cases undergoing cordectomies (vocal cord removal) to silence barking. The experiments sparked bipartisan congressional criticism and intense media coverage. The Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) and partners filed habeas corpus petitions seeking court recognition of the Ridglan dogs' right to freedom from cruelty and immediate remedies. While initial petitions faced dismissal, appeals continue for the remaining animals. Why U.S. Law Fails Experimental Animals The core federal statute is the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) of 1966 (and its amendments), enforced by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). It sets minimum standards for housing, feeding, veterinary care, and handling of certain animals. Critical Limitations Include: Massive Species Exclusions: Rats, mice, and birds bred for research—accounting for roughly 95% of lab animals—are explicitly excluded. Cold-blooded animals and others also fall outside coverage. Weak Standards for Covered Species: Even for dogs, cats, primates, etc., the AWA permits painful procedures if deemed “scientifically necessary.” There is no outright ban on specific types of experiments. Self-Regulation via IACUCs: Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees—dominated by researchers at the institutions they oversee—review protocols. Approval rates hover near 98%, with limited external oversight. Enforcement Gaps: Under-resourced inspections, reliance on self-reporting, and modest penalties limit impact. Ridglan itself had passed many USDA inspections despite state-level findings of serious issues. Property Status: Animals remain legal property. Novel habeas efforts like the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) challenge this but face significant judicial hurdles, as courts have historically rejected animal “personhood” claims. For those of us who learned in childhood about unconditional love from our dogs, they are not only of equal value to people, but they seem on a higher spiritual level in the love they have given to us. Other frameworks, such as the Public Health Service Policy, apply only to federally funded research and offer even less robust enforcement. The 2022 FDA Modernization Act opened doors to non-animal alternatives, but broader statutory mandates for the “3Rs” (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) remain limited. Reform efforts often stall due to powerful research lobbies, congressional agriculture committees' oversight, and public support for medical research that can overshadow welfare concerns. Broader Context and the Path Forward Ridglan and Envigo show that systemic problems persist despite occasional rescues and fines. Millions of animals continue to be used annually in U.S. labs, yet positive developments exist: growing adoption of alternatives (organ-on-chip, AI modeling, human cell cultures), increased rehoming programs, and shifting public opinion favoring stronger protections. The Ridglan victory shows that sustained pressure—investigations, lawsuits, public protest, and direct rescue—can force change where law falls short. Yet relying on activists risking felony charges is not sustainable. Meaningful reform requires: Expanding Animal Welfare Act coverage to all vertebrates. Stronger, independent oversight and enforcement with real penalties. Mandatory consideration and funding for non-animal methods. Judicial tools (like effective habeas relief) to address cruelty in licensed facilities promptly. A Call to Readers The beagles now tasting freedom represent hope—but hundreds may still face uncertainty, and systemic issues persist for countless others. Share their stories. Support reputable rescues and organizations like The Simple Heart Initiative, the Nonhuman Rights Project, Beagle Freedom Project, and others working on legal and legislative fronts. Contact your representatives and demand real modernization of the Animal Welfare Act. Persistence works. Now we must translate outrage into lasting legal change—so no more facilities like this exist in the first place. What are your thoughts on balancing research needs with animal welfare?

In this conversation, I sat down with Kim Jenkins from Empowering Speech Services (https://www.empoweringspeechservices.com/meet-kim) to talk about how she's used the frameworks from Language Therapy Advance Foundations (https://drkarenspeech.com/languagetherapy/) along with the gestalt language processing stages, for reluctant readers, and AAC users. We also talk about how important it is for clinicians to think flexibly with how they apply frameworks in therapy so they can pull from multiple sources to come up with their own personal protocols that work for their caseload. We also chat about other topics such as what “alter ego” we want to emulate when we're going through a challenge, social media strategies and mindset, our dogs, and how to draw parallels between language therapy, clinical practice, fitness, tips for learning how to do pull-ups, and other areas of life. Kim Jenkins is a neurodiversity-affirming speech therapist who is passionate about helping neurodivergent children and their families flourish. Empowering Speech Services was built on the idea that authentic and meaningful communication can be achieved by focusing on a child's strengths, meeting their sensory needs, following their lead, and empowering family members in the process. Serving the Milton and Alpharetta areas of Georgia, she takes the time to truly get to know her clients, their joys, interests, unique strengths, and individual challenges. In this conversation, we discuss:✅ How Kim uses semantic features and syntactic study with AAC users✅ Using the “Essential 5” framework from Language Therapy Advance Foundations with students who use a lot of scripting and gestalts✅ Engaging a reluctant reader literacy and vocabulary work✅ Parallels between life, language therapy, fitness, and social media marketingLearn more about Kim's private practice on her website here: https://www.empoweringspeechservices.com/Visit her on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@empoweringspeechservices@UCSeGnUyaf6NBHJFBuoUFUTA Visit her on Instagram @empoweringspeechservicesConnect with her on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-jenkins-a0288796/Check out her TeachersPayTeachers store here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/empowering-speech-servicesI mentioned the following previous De Facto Leaders Podcast interviews:EP 205: Using the Essential 5 to Build Vocabulary and Syntax in Secondary School (with Amy Baugh) here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-205-using-the-essential-5-to-build-vocabulary-and-syntax-in-secondary-school-with-amy-baugh/EP 140: Creating an Intentional Career and Life with Alter Egos (with Meg Niman) here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-140-creating-an-intentional-career-and-life-with-alter-egos-with-meg-niman/EP 154: Therapy Session Structure, Narrative Language, and Commentary on Gestalt Language Processing here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-154-therapy-session-structure-narrative-language-and-commentary-on-gestalt-language-processing/Also mentioned in this episode:”Stories that Stick” by Kindra Hall here: https://www.storiesthatstick.com/Sarah Brashears from Social Mogules: @socialmogulsIn this episode, I mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives speech pathologists a scalable framework for building language skills needed to thrive in school, social situations, and daily life.

First up on the podcast, Senior International Correspondent Richard Stone joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the surprising commonalities between our immune systems and the tools bacteria use to defend themselves against viruses. These unexpected parallels have become rich ground for researchers investigating new molecular biology tools and model systems for immune research. Next on the show, Dominic Rohner, a professor of economics at the Geneva Graduate Institute and University of Lausanne, talks about the impact of cuts in international aid on violent conflict in Africa. His team harnessed the natural experiment of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) work stoppage ordered by the Trump administration in early 2025 to find links between the sudden withdrawal of high levels of aid to increases in conflict. See also Science's 2025 news series on the impact of USAID cuts on children. Finally, Valerie Thompson, Science's books and media editor, interviews undergraduate student and author Theo Baker. Baker wrote the book How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University, which covers the heavy involvement of Silicon Valley investors in Stanford University and his investigation of research misconduct by former Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne.

My Undesirable Friends: Part I—Last Air in Moscow (2024) is Russian-language American documentary film written and directed by Julia Loktev (with co-director Anna Nemzer). The film describes the effort to maintain press freedoms in Putin's Russia in the period leading up to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The documentary provides an intimate portrait of independent Russian journalists—mainly young women—who risk everything to pursue truth and accountability amidst escalating repression under the Putin regime. Filmed in late 2021 and early 2022, the documentary captures how the legal machinery of censorship, surveillance, and state-harassment converged to crush internal dissent and incapacitate civil society. It not only provides a profoundly disturbing account of what has occurred in Russia but also serves as a broader warning about the fragility of press freedoms and in a time of rising authoritarianism worldwide.

We're hitting rewind for the next few weeks and bringing back some of our most popular episodes. So, sit back and enjoy these highlights from our archive. 00:12 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:38 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hi everyone! For the last two weeks, we've been talking about different aspects of cloud data centers. In this episode, Orlando Gentil, Principal OCI Instructor at Oracle University, joins us once again to discuss how virtualization, through hypervisors, virtual machines, and containers, has transformed data centers. 01:11 Lois: That's right, Niki. We'll begin with a quick look at the history of virtualization and why it became so widely adopted. Orlando, what can you tell us about that? Orlando: To truly grasp the power of virtualization, it's helpful to understand its journey from its humble beginnings with mainframes to its pivotal role in today's cloud computing landscape. It might surprise you, but virtualization isn't a new concept. Its roots go back to the 1960s with mainframes. In those early days, the primary goal was to isolate workloads on a single powerful mainframe, allowing different applications to run without interfering with each other. As we moved into the 1990s, the challenge shifted to underutilized physical servers. Organizations often had numerous dedicated servers, each running a single application, leading to significant waste of computing resources. This led to the emergence of virtualization as we know it today, primarily from the 1990s to the 2000s. The core idea here was to run multiple isolated operating systems on a single physical server. This innovation dramatically improved the resource utilization and laid the technical foundation for cloud computing, enabling the scalable and flexible environments we rely on today. 02:39 Nikita: Interesting. So, from an economic standpoint, what pushed traditional data centers to change and opened the door to virtualization? Orlando: In the past, running applications often meant running them on dedicated physical servers. This led to a few significant challenges. First, more hardware purchases. Every new application, every new project often required its own dedicated server. This meant constantly buying new physical hardware, which quickly escalated capital expenditure. Secondly, and hand-in-hand with more servers came higher power and cooling costs. Each physical server consumed power and generated heat, necessitating significant investment in electricity and cooling infrastructure. The more servers, the higher these operational expenses became. And finally, a major problem was unused capacity. Despite investing heavily in these physical servers, it was common for them to run well below their full capacity. Applications typically didn't need 100% of server's resources all the time. This meant we were wasting valuable compute power, memory, and storage, effectively wasting resources and diminishing the return of investment from those expensive hardware purchases. These economic pressures became a powerful incentive to find more efficient ways to utilize data center resources, setting the stage for technologies like virtualization. 04:18 Lois: I guess we can assume virtualization emerged as a financial game-changer. So, what kind of economic efficiencies did virtualization bring to the table? Orlando: From a CapEx or capital expenditure perspective, companies spent less on servers and data center expansion. From an OpEx or operational expenditure perspective, fewer machines meant lower electricity, cooling, and maintenance costs. It also sped up provisioning. Spinning a new VM took minutes, not days or weeks. That improved agility and reduced the operational workload on IT teams. It also created a more scalable, cost-efficient foundation which made virtualization not just a technical improvement, but a financial turning point for data centers. This economic efficiency is exactly what cloud providers like Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are built on, using virtualization to deliver scalable pay as you go infrastructure. 05:22 Nikita: Ok, Orlando. Let's get into the core components of virtualization. To start, what exactly is a hypervisor? Orlando: A hypervisor is a piece of software, firmware, or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines, also known as VMs. Its core function is to allow multiple virtual machines to run concurrently on a single physical host server. It acts as virtualization layer, abstracting the physical hardware resources like CPU, memory, and storage, and allocating them to each virtual machine as needed, ensuring they can operate independently and securely. 06:02 Lois: And are there types of hypervisors? Orlando: There are two primary types of hypervisors. The type 1 hypervisors, often called bare metal hypervisors, run directly on the host server's hardware. This means they interact directly with the physical resources offering high performance and security. Examples include VMware ESXi, Oracle VM Server, and KVM on Linux. They are commonly used in enterprise data centers and cloud environments. In contrast, type 2 hypervisors, also known as hosted hypervisors, run on top of an existing operating system like Windows or macOS. They act as an application within that operating system. Popular examples include VirtualBox, VMware Workstation, and Parallels. These are typically used for personal computing or development purposes, where you might run multiple operating systems on your laptop or desktop. 07:08 Nikita: We've spoken about the foundation provided by hypervisors. So, can we now talk about the virtual entities they manage: virtual machines? What exactly is a virtual machine and what are its fundamental characteristics? Orlando: A virtual machine is essentially a software-based virtual computer system that runs on a physical host computer. The magic happens with the hypervisor. The hypervisor's job is to create and manage these virtual environments, abstracting the physical hardware so that multiple VMs can share the same underlying resources without interfering with each other. Each VM operates like a completely independent computer with its own operating system and applications. 07:53 Lois: What are the benefits of this? Orlando: Each VM is isolated from the others. If one VM crashes or encounters an issue, it doesn't affect the other VMs running on the same physical host. This greatly enhances stability and security. A powerful feature is the ability to run different operating systems side-by-side on the very same physical host. You could have a Windows VM, a Linux VM, and even other specialized OS, all operating simultaneously. Consolidate workloads directly addresses the unused capacity problem. Instead of one application per physical server, you can now run multiple workloads, each in its own VM on a single powerful physical server. This dramatically improves hardware utilization, reducing the need of constant new hardware purchases and lowering power and cooling costs. And by consolidating workloads, virtualization makes it possible for cloud providers to dynamically create and manage vast pools of computing resources. This allows users to quickly provision and scale virtual servers on demand, tapping into these shared pools of CPU, memory, and storage as needed, rather than being tied to a single physical machine. 09:25 Do you want to boost your data management skills for free?

Get started today by visiting mylearn.oracle.com. 09:50 Nikita: Welcome back! Orlando, let's move on to containers. Many see them as a lighter, more agile way to build and run applications. What's your take? Orlando: A container packages an application in all its dependencies, like libraries and other binaries, into a single, lightweight executable unit. Unlike a VM, a container shares the host operating system's kernel, running on top of the container runtime process. This architectural difference provides several key advantages. Containers are incredibly portable. They can be taken virtually anywhere, from a developer's laptop to a cloud environment, and run consistently, eliminating it works on my machine issues. Because containers share the host OS kernel, they don't need to bundle a full operating system themselves. This results in significantly smaller footprints and less administration overhead compared to VMs. They are faster to start. Without the need to boot a full operating system, containers can start up in seconds, or even milliseconds, providing rapid deployment and scaling capabilities. 11:08 Nikita: Ok. Throughout our conversation, you've spoken about the various advantages of virtualization but let's consolidate them now. Orlando: From a security standpoint, virtualization offers several crucial benefits. Each VM operates in its own isolated sandbox. This means if one VM experiences a security breach, the impact is generally contained to that single virtual machine, significantly limiting the spread of potential threats across your infrastructure. Containers also provide some isolation. Virtualization allows for rapid recovery. This is invaluable for disaster recovery or undoing changes after a security incident. You can implement separate firewalls, access rules, and network configuration for each VM. This granular control reduces the overall exposure and attack surface across your virtualized environments, making it harder for malicious actors to move laterally. Beyond security, virtualization also brings significant advantages in terms of operational and agility benefits for IT management. Virtualization dramatically improves operational efficiency and agility. Things are faster. With virtualization, you can provision new servers or containers in minutes rather than days or weeks. This speed allows for quicker deployment of applications and services. It becomes much simpler to deploy consistent environment using templates and preconfigured VM images or containers. This reduces errors and ensures uniformity across your infrastructure. It's more scalable. Virtualization makes your infrastructure far more scalable. You can reshape VMs and containers to meet changing demands, ensuring your resources align precisely with your needs. These operational benefits directly contribute to the power of cloud computing, especially when we consider virtualization's role in enabling cloud and scalability. Virtualization is the very backbone of modern cloud computing, fundamentally enabling its scalability. It allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, maximizing hardware utilization, which is essential for cloud providers. This capability is core of infrastructure as a service offerings, where users can provision virtualized compute resources on demand. Virtualization makes services globally scalable. Resources can be easily deployed and managed across different geographic regions to meet worldwide demand. Finally, it provides elasticity, meaning resources can be automatically scaled up or down in response to fluctuating workloads, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency. 14:18 Lois: That's amazing.

A graduation-season episode turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about careers in the age of AI, anchored by a New York Times article from Jodi Kantor. Don and Tom explore the idea that successful careers are built not by chasing trends, but by developing a personal “craft” and aligning it with real-world need. They connect that concept to investing discipline—ignore noise, focus on what you can control—and emphasize experimentation early in life. The back half pivots to listener questions, where Don dismantles buffered ETFs as overly complex, critiques commission-laden annuity practices masquerading as fiduciary advice, clarifies Social Security spousal benefits, and takes apart the flawed comparison between low-cost index bond funds and leveraged, high-fee active products like the PIMCO Income Fund. The throughline: complexity, whether in careers or investing, is usually a trap.0:05 Graduation season and why young people face a radically different job market1:36 AI, automation, and the uncertainty of future careers2:00 NYT article breakdown—“craft” and “need” as career anchors5:01 Why developing a unique skill set matters more than chasing trends6:37 College as a poor place to discover real-world “craft”7:19 Weekly self-reflection exercise: track what you enjoy vs. hate7:30 Generational career fads—from Japan to “plastics”9:15 Mentorship vs. going it alone in career development10:50 Real-world example: finding a career through evolving skills12:00 Parallels between career decisions and investing discipline13:39 Taking risks early in life when stakes are lower14:32 Listener question: buffered ETFs vs. bonds for stability17:11 Why buffered ETFs deliver limited upside and hidden risks19:39 Counterparty risk explained with 2008 auction-rate securities story21:56 Simpler alternatives: CDs and municipal bonds23:47 Industry hypocrisy: annuities inside “fiduciary” environments24:46 Why putting IRA money into annuities makes no sense25:30 Social Security spousal benefit basics explained26:39 Advisor claim: higher fees justified in certain asset classes27:57 Breaking down active bond fund risks vs. index funds29:44 Leverage dangers in funds like PIMCO Income31:38 SPIVA reality: active managers rarely outperform long termQuestions?

On April 30, we celebrated the kickoff of the 5th annual, global Medical Innovation Olympics (register today at https://medicalinnovationolympics.com) with a moving interview in which a 5-Time Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer, Type 1 Diabetes patient advocate and CEO, Anchor Line Sprots, Gary Hall Jr openly shared the devastation he went through losing all his Olympic models, his house and business in the Los Angeles Fires in 2025. He describes how the "fire left some piece of it in his belly" to pursue what he calls a new do-or-die mission for Olympic-adjacent sports to grow their fan engagement, funding, and popularity. In this conversation Gary demonstrates why he is a true leader of the people who fights daily for a bigger purpose, who cares deeply for the plight of the human community, patients. He shares deep reflections that scratch far beneath the surface with a call to action for innovators in tech and healthcare who have sacrificed their own jobs to be rewarded appropriately and aligned with the priorities they deserve in their respective industries - something all of us need to think about and address.Timeline0:00 Episode Introduction1:57 Medicalinnovaitonolympics.com - Sign up for the event2:36 Meaning of 10 replacement medals Gary lost in the LA fires in '255:14 The Real-World Story of the LA Fire Disaster and Devastation6:36 How the IOC presented the replica medals - 2nd time in history after Muhammad Ali7:14 Last time the International Olympic Committee replaced a medal was Muhammad Ali10:10 How Gary as T1Diabetes Patient defines Healthcare ChampionsGary Hall: Medical Innovation Olympics is a Noble Pursuit11:21 Coders like Researchers have built AI that can replace them - Tremendous Sacrifice11:54 How do we realign incentives so that people are rewarded on their sacrifice12:26 Update on the latest research in T1Diabetes - we are on the doorstep14:04 CEO of iTolerance's recent passing & promise of curing T1D without immunosuppression14:53 Gary's opinion on Lindsay Vonn's comeback attempt and fall at Milano Cortina17:06 Milano 2026 Olympic Highlight Alyssa Liu, Figure Skater's Charisma and Embodiment of Joy18:11 Men's Hockey - U.S.A.18:30 Sara Conti, Italian Figure Skating's visible 21:35 Gary Hall's new company, Anchor Line SportsOlympic adjacent sports betting fan engagement tool Olympic sports remain underfunded23:30 U.S. is one of few countries where not one single dollar supports Olympic athletes24:19 Anchor Line Sports is the silver lining Gary took away from losing his house, business, medals27:57 Q & A: Parallels between building championship teams and healthcare companiesThe team is most important and the reflection of the leadership - pushing you to the point of failure every single day in a tough, and are able to do it in a tough, demanding and respectful way.

Chris Shelton joins us and we put Scientology next to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and hold them there long enough for the similarities to speak for themselves. Two groups with no shared origin still enforce the same rules in real life — leaders set the line, members repeat it, and anyone who steps out risks losing family, work, and every tie that makes life stable.The control runs through daily life. The PBCC enforces separation from the outside world and backs it with the threat of being cut off. Scientology runs its own system of discipline and disconnection and applies it when someone refuses to comply. Each group limits what members can read, who they can speak to, and how they spend their time, and each group keeps people inside a tight social and economic loop where dissent carries a clear cost.We line up the public face and the gap becomes impossible to ignore. Scientology sends out Volunteer Ministers in bright yellow shirts, hands out supplies, and films the work because the footage feeds back into the church's image. The PBCC runs Rapid Relief Team with the same intent — uniformed crews, branded trucks, staged events, and a steady stream of content that sells goodwill to the outside world. Inside the same organizations, members face strict control, loss of contact with family, and pressure to conform, and the charity work helps shield that reality by giving leaders a public defence when critics speak.Chris brings 27 years inside Scientology, we bring lived experience from the Brethren, and the comparison stays grounded in what people do to each other — who gets cut off, who gets silenced, who gets held in place.

Send us Fan MailParenting and leadership may look like two completely different roles, but in practice, they mirror each other more than we realize. In this episode, I'm exploring the parallels between raising a child and leading a team, and what both roles teach us about patience, growth, and showing up while we're still figuring it out.From emotional regulation to consistency and learning in real time, this is a conversation about influence over control and presence over perfection. If you've ever felt the pressure to have it all figured out, this episode will remind you that growth happens while you're already in it.What You'll Learn:How parenting and leadership mirror each other in communication, consistency, and growthWhy direction and steadiness matter more than having all the answersHow emotional regulation and modeling behavior shape those around youKey Takeaways:You are always modeling something, whether you realize it or notConsistency and repair build trust more than perfection ever willGrowth happens while you carry responsibility, not beforeCall to Action:Take a moment this week to reflect on what you are modeling in your leadership or at home. When something doesn't go as planned, focus on repair instead of perfection and notice how it shifts trust, connection, and growth.Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.______________________________You can find me here:Instagram: @gingerbizWebsite: https://www.katymurrayphotography.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TipsandTricksforyourbusinessX: https://twitter.com/GingerBizKMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katy-murray-ginger-biz/
2. Headline: George Washington, Land Speculation, and the Heart of Darkness Theme Guest Author: Robert G. Parkinson Parkinson explores the theme of "bewilderment" on the American frontier, drawing parallels to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. He suggests the American backcountry was a "dark place" where dreams of empire and land speculation often led to horror. A central figure in this narrative is George Washington, who was a partner in the Ohio Company alongside the Cresup family. This private venture sought to settle hundreds of thousands of acres at the forks of the Ohio, a move that alarmed the French and precipitated global conflict. Washington's early military failures were deeply entwined with these commercial interests. 21753

For many AFC Bournemouth fans, Eddie Howe is more than just a former manager - he's a symbol of the club's greatest ever rise. From League Two to the Premier League, he gave us memories that will last a lifetime. But right now, even as a distant observer… the current malaise at Newcastle United is a painful watch. As pressure mounts on Howe at St James Park, there's an eerie sense of déjà vu. The same fatigue, the same questions, the same noise that surrounded his final season at AFC Bournemouth. In this preview ahead of Bournemouth vs Newcastle, we reflect on: ▪️ Why this feels so familiar for Cherries fans ▪️ The emotional conflict of facing a club legend ▪️ Whether Howe can turn things around again ▪️ And what to expect when the two sides meet Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.

Delivered…But Pharaoh Came Again by Autumn Dickson I love the story of Moses and the Red Sea. There is a reason it was used as an example time and time again throughout the history of the scriptures. There is so much goodness. One of the parts of the story that used to stick out to me was the fact that Pharaoh released them, but then he came after them again. Here are some verses about it. Exodus 14:8-9 8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea… I believe that the Lord is in the details, so what do we learn from this idea that the Israelites were free but then once again in danger? I used to think it had something to do with the fact that Christ suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross. He suffered twice as part of the atonement. Was that somehow relevant? Perhaps, but there are always multiple layers and details. Let's talk about one of the potential parallels from the fact that the Israelites had to be saved from the Egyptians twice. The Israelites were saved by the death of the firstborns in Egypt. Pharaoh is finally ready to release them, and he lets them pass by into the wilderness. Unfortunately, little time passes and Pharaoh is right back at it. He pursues the Israelites to come and enslave them again. Think about this for a minute. Christ has saved us. We have passed through those gates and out of slavery. But the work isn't done. There is still an enemy after us that has the power to enslave us again. He is relentless despite everything that points to the power of God. He comes after us in his might. What did the Israelites do? When they faced slavery, maybe even death, again, how did they respond? Not well in the beginning. They were really afraid and they turned to Moses saying, “Why didn't you leave us alone to be slaves? It would be better to be slaves in Egypt than dead in the wilderness.” Moses has an epic response. Exodus 14:13-14 13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Moses encourages them to have faith, turns to the Lord, and the Lord tells him to proceed. The Israelites walk through the Red Sea on dry ground. So. Many. Cool. Parallels. The Lord saved them out of Egypt, and He saved them again with the Red Sea. It is so important to note that. The Israelites didn't make the ground dry so that they could walk across. Moses didn't even do it. The Lord did it. He was the one who utilized Moses to part the Red Sea. It was the Lord's power. And yet, the Israelites still had a job. They had to walk forward in faith, just like Moses encouraged. They could have watched the walls of water form on either side, sat down on the beach, and said, “There's salvation! It's right there. How cool.” And then they could have just stayed there to be killed by the Egyptians. They could have feared that treading the sea floor would be too treacherous, or that the salvation wouldn't hold and they would end up drowning after walking into the water. There were any number of responses that they could have had, but they took a leap of faith, followed the prophet, and trusted the Lord's miracle. They took the chance that the Lord gave to them. The death of the Firstborn has freed us, but an enemy still pursues after us. We could sit down, observe the miracle changing the lives of those around us, and not actually take the opportunity that the Lord has given to us. We could think the miracle is really cool but not actually follow the prophet. We could look at the difficult path on the sea floor and feel like it's too hard. We could worry and fret that the miracle wouldn't hold, that Christ doesn't actually have the power to save us. Or, we could move forward in faith. We can trust that this miracle was made for us, to protect us from those who would enslave and destroy us. We could trust that maybe there is a Being out there who lives His life for the pure joy of saving us, who simply wants our faith and love in return. Follow the prophet. The Lord will help you navigate the path. He will provide deliverance. Trust Him. I testify that the Lord has provided deliverance. I also testify that there is still an enemy who wants us to be miserable and destroyed if he can help it. I testify that the Lord has the power to save us from that enemy and our job is to have faith. That's our job. Have the faith necessary to trust that the prophet can lead us through on dry ground by the power of God. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since February after authorities believe she was abducted from her Catalina Foothills residence near Tucson, Arizona. DNA testing confirmed blood recovered from the front porch as hers. An armed, masked individual was captured on doorbell camera footage. No suspect has been publicly identified. No arrest has been made. The case is in its third month.Reporting now confirms that the Pima County Sheriff's Department sergeant who supervised the initial response had reportedly been in the supervisory role for approximately six months and had no prior homicide experience. Sources within the department describe a staffing environment where experienced detectives were reassigned from investigative roles — not for performance deficiencies, but allegedly because they were not considered loyal to Sheriff Chris Nanos' leadership. The department's own search and rescue aircraft was reportedly grounded because its pilot had been moved to patrol duties.Sheriff Nanos now faces a unanimous no-confidence vote from the Pima County Deputies Organization, a recall petition filed March 12 requiring approximately 122,000 signatures by July 10, and a Board of Supervisors vote directing outside counsel to draft removal language under Arizona statute. The supervisors have set an April 21 deadline for Nanos to provide sworn answers regarding his department's operations, his handling of the investigation, and discrepancies in his employment history — including a reported resignation in lieu of termination from the El Paso Police Department in 1982.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the procedural and forensic implications of those early staffing decisions. She also places this case inside a documented pattern of investigations compromised by leadership failure — the Gilgo Beach case under Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke, who obstructed federal investigators and was later sentenced to federal prison; the Jacob Wetterling case, where the suspect was identified and released; and additional cases where families or outside agencies had to compensate for local investigative failure. The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy's recovery. The FBI maintains a $100,000 reward.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ruth is one of my favorite Old Testament books in the Bible. Though small and unassuming, it not only parallels our own Christian journey from darkness and sin to light and salvation, but it also has incredible depth that helps our spiritual growth as believers. While many think of the book of Ruth as merely a love story (between Ruth and Boaz), the book actually is an incredible foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the gospel, and His redemptive work on the cross. In this episode, we briefly look at how the book of Ruth parallels the Christian life, foreshadows Jesus Christ, enriches and deepens our spiritual growth, and highlights Nathan's new Christ-centered study/commentary on the Book of Ruth.

What Is So New about the New Covenant? Indwelling Spirit of God – In and Upon | KIB 525 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In Episode 525 of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and why a right understanding of the New Covenant is essential for the remnant in these last days. This episode examines the difference between the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Spirit in Ezekiel 36 and Jeremiah 31, and how God writes His law upon the heart of the believer through a covenant relationship. Dr. Lake also addresses the dangers of counterfeit spirits, misplaced charismatic emphasis, and the spiritual deception that has infiltrated much of the modern Church. Mary Lou opens with powerful insights connected to the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Jericho, Rahab's covenant, and the need for obedience in a prophetic hour. Together, they discuss spiritual discernment, the transformation of character, the fruit of the Spirit, and the necessity of separating from Babylon's system in order to walk in true kingdom power. This is a timely message for believers seeking authentic Holy Spirit transformation, biblical covenant living, and discernment in an age of deception. Topics covered in this episode: The Feast of Unleavened Bread and Jericho, Rahab and covenant parallels, Achan and the accursed thing, Nephilim strongholds and Mystery Babylon, the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant, being born again and indwelt by the Spirit, Spirit baptism versus Spirit indwelling, counterfeit spirits in the Church, the fruit of the Spirit as evidence of life, sanctification and internalized Torah, spiritual warfare through the Spirit, and Christ being formed in the believer.

1. DHS Shutdown and Airport Chaos DHS has been unfunded for weeks, causing TSA agents to miss multiple paychecks. Resulting effects include: Long airport security lines (2–5 hours) Missed flights and disrupted travel TSA resignations and staffing shortages TSA workers are described as financially vulnerable, relying on food banks and quitting due to unpaid wages. 2. Political Blame Attribution The shutdown is entirely caused by Democrats, specifically Senate Democrats. Republicans have repeatedly voted to fund DHS, but lack the 60 votes needed to overcome Democratic opposition. Democrats are accused of: Using DHS funding as leverage due to opposition to ICE Willingly harming TSA and the public to satisfy an “open borders” activist base Media outlets are obscuring Democratic responsibility by using neutral language like “Congress failed.” 3. ICE Funding Paradox Despite the shutdown being framed as “defunding ICE” by liberals, ICE is already funded for several years due to a prior reconciliation bill. Irony emphasized: ICE agents are paid TSA agents are not The shutdown hurts the public but does not affect ICE, making it symbolic rather than practical. 4. Proposed Republican Strategy Suggested workaround: Fund all of DHS except ICE to reopen government operations Then pass a reconciliation bill to fund ICE long-term (10 years) and increase its budget This reflects the belief that Democrats may never again vote for ICE funding. 5. National Security and Terrorism Concerns The shutdown is dangerous amid: Recent terrorist attacks Heightened risk of future attacks Airports are described as “soft targets” due to crowding and chaos. Democrats are accused of reckless disregard for security consequences. 6. Iran Conflict Escalation President Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Threat: destruction of Iranian power plants if Iran does not comply. The U.S. military campaign is: Massive and successful Targeting missiles, drones, naval assets, and military leadership Having destroyed large portions of Iran’s navy and infrastructure Goal articulated: collapse of the Iranian regime, not just deterrence. 7. Strait of Hormuz and Economic Impact Closure of the Strait is linked to: Rising oil and gas prices Global economic disruption This is presented as a key reason for escalating U.S. threats. 8. UK and Diego Garcia Involvement Iran fired missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.–UK military base. This attack is forcing the UK into a more active defensive role. UK involvement is welcomed but portrayed as insufficient and overdue. 9. Internal Democratic Party Conflict Chuck Schumer is: an Obstructionist Weak and facing rebellion from the party’s left wing Progressive Democrats are wanting even more aggressive shutdown tactics. Parallels drawn between Schumer’s instability and Starmer’s political vulnerability. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
