Podcasts about Perilous

Pressures of life on Earth experienced by our ancestors – as multicellular beings, as hosts to parasites, and as home to microbes – shaped the evolved structure and function of our immune systems.  Some of the traits favored by natural selection have conferred resistance against infections while opening vulnerabilities to autoimmune diseases.  I will illustrate why analysis of the deep-time origins of mammalian immune systems reveals general principles of optimal defense and helps to explain why hosts are so profoundly variable in their susceptibility to infectious and inflammatory diseases.

In 1997, Tolkien’s publishers collected several of his shorter works and published a collection titled ‘Tales from the Perilous Realm’—a BBC radio adaptation soon followed. In this episode of Mythmakers, Julia Golding and Jacob Rennaker unpack the collection, examining each story in turn. Are they all truly set in perilous realms? How do these realms connect to Middle-earth? And which tale is the best entry point for readers who may be hesitant to venture beyond The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings? The episode concludes with a lively discussion on a fitting question: which is the most perilous realm in all of fantasy?(00:05) Tolkien's Tales From Perilous Realm(11:12) Comparing Farmer Giles and Leaf(19:11) Exploring Tolkien's Leaf by Niggle(29:05) Exploring Tolkien's "Smith of Wootton Major"(42:19) Tolkien's Adventures(50:42) Exploring Perilous Realms and Fantasy WorldsFor more information on the Oxford Centre for Fantasy, our writing courses, and to check out our awesome social media content visit: Website: https://centre4fantasy.com/website Instagram: https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram Facebook: https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook TikTok: https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok

It is a bleak time for mass transit all throughout the U.S. The challenges here in the Portland metro area are many and pronounced.TriMet is providing about 30 million fewer rides each year than it did in 2019 — and the recovery appears to be slowing way down. Rider safety has been a persistent concern since the pandemic. Fare evasion is rampant. Meanwhile, TriMet's subsidy per ride has soared by more than 400% in the last decade. And the regional transit agency is now raising the prospect of staggering service cuts over the next few years. On the latest Beat Check, Oregonian/OregonLive reporters Shane Dixon Kavanaugh and Mike Rogoway examine this perilous moment for public transit in the Portland region.

Acts 4 marks a crucial turning point in the early Christian church, where themes of courage, the power of prayer, and the boldness of faith come to the forefront.The chapter begins with the arrest of Peter and John, following their miraculous healing of a lame man. Their apprehension by religious authorities highlights the significant challenges the apostles faced as they worked to spread the message of the Gospel. The situation escalates when they are brought before the Sanhedrin. Here, amid intense scrutiny, Peter and John boldly proclaim the name of Jesus, declaring that “there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” This moment underscores both the authority of Christ and the deep commitment of the apostles to their mission.Even in the face of threats and intimidation from the religious leaders, Peter and John stand firm. They assert, "We cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard," demonstrating the importance of evangelism and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.After their release, the apostles rejoin their fellow believers, who unitedly pray for the courage to continue spreading the Gospel despite the looming threat of persecution. Their communal prayer emphasizes their reliance on God's power and their collective faith.Acts 4 also paints a vivid picture of the early church's spirit, characterized by generosity and communal living. The believers shared their possessions and provided support for each other, embodying a profound sense of fellowship and generosity.The chapter concludes with the cautionary tale of Ananias and Sapphira, whose deceit brings severe consequences. This story serves as a sobering reminder of the crucial importance of honesty and integrity within the church community.Overall, Acts 4 encapsulates the struggles and victories of the nascent church, emphasizing themes of courage, faith, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. The apostles' unwavering boldness of the apostles and their dedication to Jesus stand as an enduring inspiration for Christians today.

India's cross-border strikes in 2016 and 2019 established its red lines on Kashmir, showing the country was willing to risk war to stop terrorism. The massacre in Pahalgam shows that deterrent effect has waned. But lashing out in a spasm of rage won't restore India's red lines in Kashmir. It need a long term strategy to degrade the Pakistan Army's power.----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/five-choices-for-modi-to-restore-indias-red-line-in-kashmir-each-is-perilous/2603173/#google_vignette

Bob Evans weighs in on President Trump's use of tariffs.

The whistleblowing book written by former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams is as explosive and shocking as expected, maybe more so. The author reveals personal stories that shaped her world-view and explains her conviction and hope to use her life to affect positive change. That same hope led her to pursue a career at a social technology company she seemingly envisioned as a champion for humanity. From there, she takes us with her into executive level meetings, haphazard trips abroad, and interactions with various staff that each provide startling enlightenment into the inner workings of a company with access to sensitive information about people around the globe. Due to revelations within this book, U.S. Senators are currently looking into Facebook's alleged collusion with foreign governments. Regardless of its entertainment value, Sarah may have accomplished her goal of affecting positive change. BONUS: a side quest refresher of the promising middle-aged man, Brett KavanaughAll opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

John is joined by Marc Elias, the attorney whom Donaled Trump has cast as his bete noire in the legal profession, to discuss the president's war on the judiciary, the bar, and the rule of law itself. Elias explains why the executive order titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections” is designed to do just the opposite, making it the most dangerous of Trump's myriad power grabs; why we aren't yet in a constitutional crisis but soon could be; and why Trump's threats have caused so many prestigious law firms to bend the knee. Marc also tells John why he hasn't done the same despite being plenty worried by Trump's singling him out as a “very bad" person and a “thug".

7/8:  FOR KYIV 2025, AS FOR TOKYO 1945, NEGOTIATION IS MORE PERILOUS THAN WAR-FIGHTING: Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II by  Evan Thomas  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Road-Surrender-Three-Countdown-World/dp/0399589252 1941 ARIZONA At 9:20 a.m. on the morning of May 30, General Groves receives a message to report to the office of the secretary of war “at once.” Stimson is waiting for him. He wants to know: has Groves selected the targets yet? So begins this suspenseful, impeccably researched history that draws on new access to diaries to tell the story of three men who were intimately involved with America's decision to drop the atomic bomb—and Japan's decision to surrender. They are Henry Stimson, the American Secretary of War, who had overall responsibility for decisions about the atom bomb; Gen. Carl “Tooey” Spaatz, head of strategic bombing in the Pacific, who supervised the planes that dropped the bombs; and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, the only one in Emperor Hirohito's Supreme War Council who believed even before the bombs were dropped that Japan should surrender. Henry Stimson had served in the administrations of five presidents, but as the U.S. nuclear program progressed, he found himself tasked with the unimaginable decision of determining whether to deploy the bomb. The new president, Harry S. Truman, thus far a peripheral figure in the momentous decision, accepted Stimson's recommendation to drop the bomb. Army Air Force Commander Gen. Spaatz ordered the planes to take off. Like Stimson, Spaatz agonized over the command even as he recognized it would end the war. After the bombs were dropped, Foreign Minister Togo was finally able to convince the emperor to surrender. To bring these critical events to vivid life, bestselling author Evan Thomas draws on the diaries of Stimson, Togo and Spaatz, contemplating the immense weight of their historic decision. In Road to Surrender, an immersive, surprising, moving account, Thomas lays out the behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: With the previously anti-any-war, pro-Russian Left in convulsions over the Zelenskyy shakedown attempt and Trump's not having anymore of it, noted scholar Victor Davis Hanson sums up the current state of affairs with “10 bad takeaways the Zelenskyy blow-up.”And note that for all the European bluster of help, they still need much U.S. support.

U.S. government and business leaders have long promoted the glories of “globalization.” With its reliance on low-cost foreign producers, notably in Communist China, to supply critical materials, components, and equipment, the integration of markets and national interests seemed not only desirable economically but strategically sound. In fact, this model resulted in the wholesale destruction of America's industrial base and a dangerous dependence on a hostile power for everything from medicine to advanced electronic products. An alarming webinar on Friday documented that even the U.S. military now is critically reliant on our enemy, the Chinese Communist Party. The Wall Street Journal reports today that many businesses are finally moving en masse to production facilities outside of China. Unfortunately, so are the Chinese. We must actually decouple from the CCP, not simply transfer our fraught dependencies to its companies doing business in new locations. This is Frank Gaffney.

Human trafficking is a serious crime and violation of human rights in the United States, and federal laws have been enacted to combat it including: Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA): Enacted in 2000 and subsequently reauthorized, the TVPA is the cornerstone of anti-trafficking legislation in the United States. It defines trafficking in persons and establishes various means to combat it, including prevention, prosecution, and protection for victims.Federal Laws: There are several federal statutes specifically targeting human trafficking:18 U.S. Code § 1581-1595 (Peonage, Slavery, and Trafficking in Persons): This section of the U.S. Code addresses various forms of human trafficking, including forced labor, involuntary servitude, and sex trafficking. It outlines criminal penalties for offenders.18 U.S. Code § 2421-2429 (Transportation for Illegal Sexual Activity and Related Crimes): These statutes criminalize transportation for illicit sexual activity, including transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution or other unlawful sexual activities.18 U.S. Code § 1951 (Interference with Commerce by Threats or Violence): This law, commonly known as the Hobbs Act, prohibits robbery and extortion that affects interstate commerce. It can be applied in cases where trafficking involves coercion or extortion.Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (VTVPA): Passed in 2000 as part of the TVPA, the VTVPA enhances protections and assistance for victims of trafficking. It establishes the "T Visa" for victims of severe forms of trafficking who cooperate with law enforcement, allowing them to stay and work temporarily in the United States.Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA): CAPTA, initially enacted in 1974 and reauthorized several times, requires states to have laws and policies in place to address child abuse and neglect. This includes provisions specific to child victims of trafficking.International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA): Enacted in 2005, IMBRA regulates international marriage brokers and requires them to conduct background checks on U.S. clients and disclose certain information to foreign national clients.Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act (JVTA): Passed in 2015, JVTA strengthens existing anti-trafficking laws and enhances support for victims. It expands law enforcement tools, increases victim restitution, and provides additional resources for prevention and victim services.Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE): ICE plays a crucial role in investigating and prosecuting human trafficking cases, particularly those involving international borders. It works in collaboration with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.These laws collectively provide a framework for the prevention, prosecution, and protection of victims of human trafficking in the United States. They aim to combat the exploitation of vulnerable individuals and hold traffickers accountable for their crimes. Additionally, various states have enacted their own laws addressing human trafficking, complementing federal efforts.Using these laws and cases like the R. Kelly case as precedent, the prosecutors have a roadmap on how to get to the finish line when it comes to these kinds of RICO/Human Trafficking cases.   The question is, do they have the evidence? to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs and what it takes to build a sex-trafficking case - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)Our journey through the Diddy court documents continues in this episode, with a look at the allegations  leveled at Diddy by Liza Gardner.  to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Complaint against Diddy and Aaron Hall - DocumentCloud

A Note from James: So, I'm out rock climbing, but I really wanted to take a moment to introduce today's guest: Roger Reaves. This guy is unbelievable. He's arguably the biggest drug smuggler in history, having worked with Pablo Escobar and others through the '70s, '80s, and even into the '90s. Roger's life is like something out of a movie—he spent 33 years in jail and has incredible stories about the drug trade, working with people like Barry Seal, and the U.S. government's involvement in the smuggling business. Speaking of Barry Seal, if you've seen American Made with Tom Cruise, there's a wild scene where Barry predicts the prosecutor's next move after being arrested—and sure enough, it happens just as he said. Well, Barry Seal actually worked for Roger. That's how legendary this guy is. Roger also wrote a book called Smuggler about his life. You'll want to check that out after hearing these crazy stories. Here's Roger Reaves. Episode Description: Roger Reaves shares his extraordinary journey from humble beginnings on a farm to becoming one of the most notorious drug smugglers in history. He discusses working with Pablo Escobar, surviving harrowing escapes from law enforcement, and the brutal reality of imprisonment and torture. Roger reflects on his decisions, the human connections that shaped his life, and the lessons learned from a high-stakes career. Whether you're here for the stories or the insights into an underground world, this episode offers a rare glimpse into a life few could imagine. What You'll Learn: How Roger Reaves became involved in drug smuggling and built connections with major players like Pablo Escobar and Barry Seal. The role of the U.S. government in the drug trade and its surprising intersections with Roger's operations. Harrowing tales of near-death experiences, including shootouts, plane crashes, and daring escapes. The toll a life of crime takes on family, faith, and personal resilience. Lessons learned from decades of high-risk decisions and time behind bars.

In this final installment of our series on the archetypal mind, Dr. Stephen Tyman joins us once more to help us begin to explore the spirit cycle of the tarot. We discuss the unfathomably vast scope of the spirit complex through the lens of its seven stations. Here seeking has become so refined that desire, the motive force of evolution, and its object begin to blend. Our individuated consciousness stands naked before our true identity as the Creator Itself. Perilous, subtle, and promising, work in the spirit complex involves encountering our deepest emotions, including faith and despair, joy and terror, as we balance these experiences and discipline ourselves to apprehend in some small way the colossal forces of intelligent infinity without recourse to the traction provided by the body complex and the mind complex.Show NotesRa on the primacy of individual interpretation of the archetypes (Session 77, Question 23)Ra on the adept's dissociation with the world https://www.lawofone.info/s/80#12 disassociation from the miasma of illusionQ'uo on fixing and loving https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2022/0428 fixing and lovingHatonn on seeking and transformation https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1983/0501Ra on the infitude of spirit https://www.lawofone.info/s/80#20Ra on archetypes as things-in-themselves https://www.lawofone.info/s/88#17Article on the concept of the thing-in-itself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thing-in-itselfRa on the origin of the tarot https://www.lawofone.info/s/76#6Ra on the experience of spirit https://www.lawofone.info/s/80#8The Celestine Prophecy (CelestineVision.com)The Sixth Channeling Intensive (High Altitude Receiving Center)

In the words of Dr. Ben Carson, The person that has the most to do with what happens to you, is you! Coming from a life of poverty, and being a self-confessed, horrible student, Dr. Carson overcame the odds and rose to become one of the youngest chiefs of pediatric neurosurgery in the U.S. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with Dr. Carson about his numerous and highly celebrated accomplishments, despite his humble beginnings. Dr. Carson gives glory to God and his mother who refused to be a victim, which was a life-giving philosophy that she passed along to both her sons.

Jonathan Oddi's allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs stem from a resurfaced 2018 interrogation video, where Oddi claimed to have been a "sex slave" for Diddy and singer Cassie Ventura. These claims, which include Oddi's allegations of drug use (such as "liquid cocaine") and sexually abusive behavior, have re-emerged amidst Diddy's ongoing legal troubles, although they were never substantiated, and no legal action was taken based on Oddi's accusations.Oddi, a former adult film star, made these claims following his arrest for a violent incident at the Trump National Doral Golf Club, where he engaged in a gunfight with police. While his accusations have been dismissed by many as delusional, they continue to draw attention, especially given Diddy's recent legal battles, which include other serious allegations involving sexual misconduct and abuse​.(commercial at 17:10)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comHuman trafficking is a serious crime and violation of human rights in the United States, and federal laws have been enacted to combat it including: Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA): Enacted in 2000 and subsequently reauthorized, the TVPA is the cornerstone of anti-trafficking legislation in the United States.

There's no question that this upcoming election has created a lot of fear, chaos, and division across the country. Therefore, in today's episode we want to remind you that November 5th is not about personalities, but rather about policies that matter - policies that impact our everyday lives and issues of concern to all Americans including the economy, our border situation and the real threat of terrorism both here and abroad, a strong national defense, and of course issues important to people with sincerely held religious beliefs such as religious liberty, life, Israel, and more. We are in a significant moment in time and we believe God calls us to STAND for biblical truth and to be salt and light for today's generations! That being said, today's special guest is someone who has a word of hope and courage in the climate we find ourselves in. Joining us today is one of the great Christian leaders of our day and age, Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson served as the 17th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under former President, Donald J. Trump. He completed his B.A. in psychology from Yale University, an M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School, and his residency in neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Carson became the Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1984 at the age of 33. He has written and published numerous best-selling books, 4 of which were co-authored with Candy, his wife of 46 years. Dr. Carson and his wife are co-founders of the Carson Scholars Fund, and together they have 3 sons and several rambunctious grandchildren. Today's conversation is going to be centered around the pillars of American democracy and the importance of both the government and the American family by unpacking Dr. Carson's newest book titled, The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family.   American Cornerstone Institute: https://americancornerstone.org/  Carson Scholars Fund: https://carsonscholars.org/about-csf/dr-carson/ Purchase Your Copy of The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family: https://www.amazon.com/Perilous-Fight-Overcoming-Cultures-American/dp/0310368375  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

As we continue to work through the recovery efforts following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we're using Joe Akerman Jr's book "Florida Cowman" to travel back in time to the days of open range frontier life in Florida when cattle roamed open range and there were no warnings or forecasts for tropical systems. Additionally, we get a glimpse into how cattlemen built their herds and handled the ever-present threat of numerous predators.
