The Wag Festival is one of the oldest named celebrations in Ancient Egypt, a summertime rite honoring both the death of Osiris and the memory of departed loved ones. Each year, the living gathered to share feasts with the dead with offerings of bread, beer, and beef to sustain them in the afterlife. In this episode, we'll explore the festival's connection to the Osiris Myth and uncover its traces in the archaeological record, from tomb reliefs and inscribed stone offering tables to the very first Pyramid Texts in the tomb of Unas. Along the way, you'll hear about some of the specific foods and offerings that graced these ancient tables.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/20Links and SourcesSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression. The system could also potentially provide long-term treatment for a range of chronic diseases. This lab has produced previous implantable devices that have proved effective in controlling blood sugar in diabetic mice, but they can only last so long. "It's the proof of concept. We really proved that oxygenation is important, and oxygenation will support high cell-density capsules," Tempelman said. "The capsules are immune protective and last for a long time without having some kind of fouling of the membrane. The body never likes it when you put a foreign substance in. So that's the engineering in the Ma Lab, to look for materials and coatings for the materials that are immune protective, but also don't invoke excess response from the body because of the material." The next step will be to implant the system in a pig model, and also test it with human stem cells. The researchers are interested in eventually trying to use the system for implanting different cell types in humans for long-term treatment of chronic diseases, according to Tempelman, who is CEO of Persista Bio Inc., a new startup she founded with Ma and Flanders that is licensing these technologies. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-implant-diabetes-oxygenating-insulin-cells.html XX Mayo Clinic cancer research may be big news for T1D. After identifying a sugar molecule that cancer cells use on their surfaces to hide from the immune system, the researchers have found the same molecule may eventually help in the treatment of type 1. Cancer cells use a variety of methods to evade immune response, including coating themselves in a sugar molecule known as sialic acid. The researchers found in a preclinical model of type 1 diabetes that it's possible to dress up beta cells with the same sugar molecule, enabling the immune system to tolerate the cells. The findings show that it's possible to engineer beta cells that do not prompt an immune response   In the preclinical models, the team found that the engineered cells were 90% effective in preventing the development of type 1 diabetes. The beta cells that are typically destroyed by the immune system in type 1 diabetes were preserved.     https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-researchers-find-sugar-coating-cells-can-protect-those-typically-destroyed-in-type-1-diabetes/ XX A daily pill may be as effective in lowering blood sugar and aiding weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes as the popular injectable drugs Mounjaro and Ozempic, according to results of a clinical trial announced by Eli Lilly on Thursday morning.   The drug, orforglipron, is a GLP-1, a class of drugs that have become blockbusters because of their weight-loss effects. But the GLP-1s on the market now are expensive, must be kept refrigerated and must be injected. A pill that produces similar results has the potential to become far more widely used, though it is also expected to be expensive.   Lilly said it would seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration later this year to market orforglipron for obesity and early in 2026 for diabetes. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/health/pill-glp-1-eli-lilly.html XX Use of diabetes technology has dramatically increased and glycemic control has improved among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the US over the past 15 years, but at the same time, overall achievement of an A1c level < 7% remains low and socioeconomic and racial disparities have widened. These findings came from an analysis of national electronic health records of nearly 200,000 children and adults with T1D by Michael Fang, PhD, of the Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, and colleagues. The study was published online on August 11, 2025, in JAMA Network Open. Use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) increased substantially from 2009-2011 to 2021-2023, from less than 5% in both children and adults to more than 80% and over half, respectively. While A1c levels did drop over the 15 years, just 1 in 5 children and slightly over a quarter of adults achieved a level < 7%. The average A1c level stayed above 8%, with ethnic minorities and low-income patients seeing the smallest gains.       https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-use-rise-a1c-reductions-still-lag-2025a1000lc9 XX Inflammation may predict how well people with diabetes respond to depression treatment, and the effects differ dramatically between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes and depression often appear together. Indeed, depression is more than three times more prevalent in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and nearly twice as prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). When they appear together, treatment for depression can vary widely. In a new study, researchers from the German Diabetes Center (DDZ), the Research Institute of the Diabetes Academy Mergentheim (FIDAM), and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) investigated how inflammation in the body relates to improvement in depression symptoms in people with T1D and T2D. The researchers combined data from three previous German randomized clinical trials that aimed to reduce elevated depressive symptoms and diabetes distress in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Diabetes distress is characterized by feelings of overwhelm, frustration, guilt and worry about diabetes management and its potential complications. A total of 332 participants with T1D and 189 with T2D who had completed both a baseline and 12-month follow-up examination were included in the present study. Measures included depression using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D), blood tests for 76 inflammatory biomarkers, and symptoms broken down into cognitive-affective (e.g., feeling hopeless), somatic (e.g., poor sleep, fatigue), and anhedonia (loss of pleasure) clusters.   After adjusting for factors like age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes duration, cholesterol, and co-existing illnesses, the researchers found that in patients with T1D, higher baseline inflammation was linked to smaller improvements in depression. Inflammation seemed to be more connected to physical/somatic symptoms in T1D patients. In those with T2D, higher baseline inflammation was linked to greater improvements in depression. For these patients, the effect was strongest for cognitive-affective and anhedonia – so, emotional and motivational – symptoms.   The researchers weren't sure what caused the difference between T1D and T2D, but they suggest it might be due to the different forms of immune activation seen in each condition. That is, autoimmune processes in type 1 and metabolic inflammation in type 2. https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/inflammation-diabetes-depression-treatment/ XX Parents of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes suffer an income drop in the years following the diagnosis. The impact is more pronounced in mothers, especially mothers of children diagnosed in preschool years. And these findings come from a European study.. not the US. Previous research has shown that parents of children with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of stress-related symptoms and may need to reduce their working hours. "In our study, we observed reduced parental work-related incomes in the years following the child's type 1 diabetes diagnosis. The drop was larger in mothers than in fathers. Since mothers earned significantly less than fathers in absolute terms, even before the child fell ill, the relative drop in mothers was 6.6% the year following diagnosis compared to 1.5% in fathers. We further note the greatest impact on work-related incomes in mothers of children diagnosed at preschool age," says Beatrice Kennedy, physician at the Endocrine and Diabetes unit at Uppsala University Hospital and Associate Professor of Medical Epidemiology at Uppsala University, who led the study. This is a huge study, builds on data from national population and health registers and the Swedish Child Diabetes Register (Swediabkids). The study includes the parents of more than 13,000 children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Sweden in 1993−2014, as well as more than half a million parents in the general population who have children not diagnosed with diabetes.   The researchers observed that the maternal pension-qualifying incomes (a composite outcome including work-related income and societal benefits) initially increased after the child's diagnosis. This was attributable to mothers applying for the parental care allowance from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. The parental care allowance was intended to compensate for disease-related loss of work-related income and contribute toward disease-specific costs.   When the research team investigated long-term effects in mothers, they found that the pension-qualifying incomes gradually decreased after eight years, and had not recovered by the end of follow-up − 17 years after the children were diagnosed. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250811/Mothers-face-greater-financial-impact-following-childe28099s-type-1-diabetes-diagnosis.aspx XX The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Metro Nashville Public Schools after allegations that the district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.   The parents of a student at the Ross Early Learning Center requested that the school monitor their child's glucose monitor. Investigators found the school refused to do so, despite the child's Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis.   As part of the settlement, MNPS agreed to change its policies to allow the use of these devices, ensure trained staff can monitor them throughout the entire school day and at school activities, and improve communication with parents. https://www.wsmv.com/2025/08/12/metro-nashville-public-schools-settles-allegations-it-discriminated-against-students-with-diabetes/ XX Modular Medical has unveiled Pivot, its next-generation insulin patch pump technology aimed at simplifying diabetes care. The company announced its new pump for “almost-pumpers” at the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (“ADCES”) Conference in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend. It aims for Pivot to target adults with a user-friendly, affordable design.   Modular Medical's current pump, the MODD1, won FDA clearance nearly a year ago. It features new microfluidics technology to allow for the low-cost pumping of insulin. The system has a reservoir size of 300 units/3mL. Users can monitor the pump activity with their cell phone and do not require an external controller. The pump uses a provided, single-use, disposable battery.   The company announced recently that it validated its insulin pump cartridge line for human-use production in the U.S. Days later, it reported the first human use of the MODD1 pump.   Now, it has taken the next steps with the debut of a next-gen pump, set for FDA submission in October.   Modular Medical also gamifies diabetes care The company also said ADCES is the place where it will showcase the first playable level of its new Pivot pump gamified trainin module. Level Ex, a developer of medical games, develops the module.   Modular Medical said gamification offers a way to make medical training more effective and efficient while improving information retention. Given the complexity in pump uptake, the company hopes to provide an easy way to bring its technology to clinicians and patients.   The company expects to have training modules available at the same time as the pump's planned launch in 2026.   “Level One is free because diabetes mastery shouldn't come with a price tag,” Sam Glassenberg, CEO of Level Ex, said. “Modular Medical is breaking barriers too – bringing pump therapy to more people through smart, accessible design. Together, we intend to make diabetes management simpler and more inclusive.   “People learn best through play – and we believe they want to learn about insulin pumps the same way. In Level One, players aren't just mastering diabetes management through gameplay – they're asking to ‘play' with pumps: to explore how they work, understand their benefits, and build confidence before using them in real life. Our partnership with Modular Medical helps make that possible.” https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/modular-medical-unveils-next-gen-insulin-pump/ XX On Tuesday, 12 August 2025, Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ:TNDM) presented at the Canaccord Genuity's 45th Annual Growth Conference, outlining strategic shifts and market focus. The company highlighted its plans for commercial transformation in the U.S. and expansion in international markets, alongside addressing competitive challenges and regulatory impacts. While optimistic about growth in Outside the U.S. (OUS) markets, Tandem is navigating a more competitive landscape domestically. We have entered into the pharmacy channel with Mobi only. And so as Mobi's been building up volume, we're getting experience and we're really learning and understanding what pharmacy offers to us. And the proof points have proved out the thesis I said earlier, which is it can really reduce that barrier for patients, is the out of pocket cost. And so we've decided to accelerate our strategy and where we were starting just with Mobi, we are now moving t slim supplies into the pharmacy channel, and that will kick into gear in the fourth quarter. So as people are looking at the cadence of sales for the remainder of the year with this reframing, many folks are seeing what looks like a a might be an outsized fourth quarter and and having trouble understanding those dynamics. We'll be adding the tSIM supplies to those contracts. We also have more coverage. We will have it in the coming weeks effective this year, so we will be increasing that 30% rate before the end of the year. And then, obviously, everyone's in the same cycle right now already negotiating and discussing their 2026 coverage. And so 30% is the floor.   We do expect to continue to grow that coverage in the coming years, and ultimately have a much broader access. Absolutely. It's an exciting technology that allows for us to have an infusion set that extends the wear time from three days to up to seven days. So we're able to use that as part of an independent infusion set, which would then be used with the t slim and with the mobi pump today. But we're also using that same technology as part of the site that's used for mobi when you use it with a tubeless cartridge. So next year, we will launch Mobi in a patch configuration.   It uses the same pump that's available today, but by using a modified cartridge, you're able to wear it as a patch pump. So one of the things we announced on the call is that we're using this extended wear technology as part of that site. So what it allows you to do is to change the portion that you wear in your skin separate from the timing of when you change the insulin cartridge. So it allows for that extended wear time, reduction of burden to the patient, which is especially important for higher volume insulin users as we expand into type two. So from here, we will launch the extended wear site next year along with we'll do a separate regulatory filing for the cartridge portion for Mobi that includes this extended wear technology as a predicate device. So that's another filing that we'll need to do, but we have the clearance today for the independent infusion set, but we'll file another five ten k for use of the extended wear technology as part of the tubeless Mobi feature. https://za.investing.com/news/transcripts/tandem-diabetes-at-canaccord-conference-strategic-shifts-and-market-focus-93CH-3834464 XX MannKind today announced a significant regulatory submission and a large financing agreement with Blackstone. The company submitted its lead inhaled insulin product for expanded FDA approval and secured $500 million in funding, it said.   First, the Danbury, Connecticut-based company announced that it submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza, its inhaled insulin product, in the pediatric population.   MannKind Director of Medical and Scientific Engagement Joanne Rinker, MS, RDN, BC-ADM, CDCES, LDN, FADCES, told Drug Delivery Business News at ADA 2025 that a submission was on the way for children and adolescents aged 4-17 years old. Further data shared at ADA found Afrezza both safe and effective in that age range.   Afrezza is a fast-acting insulin formulation delivered through an inhaler device. MannKind engineered the mechanical inhaler device to slowly bring powder into the lung. A small compartment opens for the insertion of the insulin cartridge, then the user closes it. The only other component is a mouthpiece for the sake of cleanliness. Then, the inhalation takes just two seconds. It requires no electronics or extra components.   The company expects a review acceptance decision early in the fourth quarter of 2025.   “The submission of our supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza in pediatric patients is a meaningful milestone for MannKind and people living with diabetes,” said Michael Castagna, CEO of MannKind Corporation.   Additional funding provides a significant boost for MannKind MannKind also announced a strategic financing agreement with funds managed by Blackstone worth up to $500 million. The financing provides MannKind with non-dilutive capital to advance its short- and long-term growth strategies.   This senior secured credit facility includes a $75 million initial term loan funded at closing. It then has a $125 million delayed draw term loan available for the next 24 months. Finally, it features an additional $300 million uncommitted delayed draw term loan available at the mutual consent of MannKind and Blackstone.   The facility bears interest at a calculated SOFR variable rate plus 4.75% and matures in August 2030.   “This strategic financing significantly increases our operating flexibility and provides us substantial access to non-dilutive capital on favorable terms, complementing our strong cash position,” said Castagna. “The funding will support the expansion of our commercial team in preparation for the anticipated launch of the pediatric indication for Afrezza, if approved, continued pipeline advancement, potential business development opportunities, and general corporate purposes. Partnering with the Blackstone team on this transaction positions us to accelerate our next phase of growth and innovation.” https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/mannkind-fda-submission-pediatrics-500m-blackstone/ XX   Medtronic MiniMed Abbott Instinct Sensor [Image from Medtronic Diabetes on LinkedIn] The Medtronic Diabetes business today took to social media to share an early preview of a new integrated Abbott sensor for its insulin delivery systems. Medtronic Diabetes — soon to be MiniMed after its planned separation from the medtech giant – said in the post that the new sensor specifically designed for its own systems is called “Instinct.”   “Get a sneak peek at what's coming next: the Instinct sensor,” the business unit's account wrote. “Made by Abbott, the Instinct sensor is designed exclusively for MiniMed systems. We'll share more details about the Instinct sensor when it's commercially available.”   The sensor, built on the Abbott FreeStyle Libre platform, reflects “the power of the partnership,” Abbott EVP, Diabetes Care, Chris Scoggins, told Drug Delivery Business News earlier this year.   Medtronic and Abbott — two of the largest diabetes tech companies in the world — announced a year ago that they entered into a global partnership pairing Abbott continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) with Medtronic insulin delivery systems.   The partnership aims to collaborate on a system based on Abbott's FreeStyle Libre CGMs with Medtronic's automated insulin delivery technology (the latest generation being the MiniMed 780G) and smart insulin pen systems, such as the InPen system.   Read more about Medtronic, Abbott and the rest of the diabetes tech industry in our free Diabetes Technology Special Report. Medtronic's systems previously used its own CGMs, such as the Guardian 4 and the Simplera platform, and the company intends to continue using those systems as part of a comprehensive CGM portfolio. Under the companies' agreement, the systems would be sold exclusively by Medtronic — including the Abbott CGM.   The companies brought the partnership a step further in April when Medtronic announced the submission of an interoperable pump with the Abbott sensor technology to the FDA. They plan to share more details following the expected FDA clearance, which remains pending.   Management also recently emphasized the multi-year nature of the partnership, meaning Medtronic could pair current and future pumps with other Abbott sensors in the future. That could hint at integration with the company's future dual glucose-ketone monitor, as a number of pump makers have already announced collaborations to pair their systems with the sensor once it hits the market. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/medtronic-diabetes-previews-abbott-sensor-minimed/ XX Governor Glenn Youngkin joined Civica officials at the company's Petersburg manufacturing facility to announce a $3 million grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia to accelerate Civica's efforts to develop and produce affordable insulin for Americans living with diabetes.   CivicaRx Logo   "We are proud to partner with Civica in their mission to make essential medicines more accessible," said Governor Youngkin. "This investment reflects our belief in the power of public-private collaboration to improve lives and strengthen communities."   These funds will support the production of insulin aspart, a rapid-acting human insulin analog used to regulate blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. Civica plans to produce both rapid- and long-acting insulins at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Petersburg, Va., where the company now employs more than 200 skilled workers.1 Over 8 million people living with diabetes need rapid-acting and/or long-acting insulin.   The Governor also announced that he had officially proclaimed August 7 – 14 2025 'Life Sciences Week' demonstrating the Commonwealth's commitment to "accelerating the advancement of the life sciences through public-private partnerships, STEM education, workforce development, and sustained investment in research and development."   "We are grateful for the Commonwealth's support," said Ned McCoy, Civica's President and CEO. "This funding will help us move closer toward our goal of ensuring that no one has to choose between insulin and other basic needs."   Civica and Virginia officials were joined by Lynn Starr, Chief Global Advocacy Officer of Breakthrough T1D, the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization.   "More than one million American adults live with type 1 diabetes, and many still, sadly, ration their insulin, due to the prohibitively high cost of this necessary medication," said Starr.  "Civica's work will help to make insulin more affordable for people across the country."   Breakthrough T1D is among more than two dozen organizations and philanthropists, along with the states of Virginia and California, that have partnered with Civica to support the development of affordable insulins.   Civica's insulin initiative aims to provide patients with predictable, transparent pricing — no more than $30 per vial or $55 for a box of five pens — regardless of insurance status.   About Civica Civica is a nonprofit pharmaceutical company established to address drug shortages. It was founded by a group of U.S. health systems and philanthropies who, after more than a decade of chronic shortages, recognized that the market was not self-correcting and that a different approach is required. Civica works to deliver a safe, stable, and affordable supply of essential medicines to U.S. patients.   Media Contact: Liz Power liz.power@civicarx.org +1 860 501 3849 https://cbs4indy.com/business/press-releases/cision/20250807NY46213/governor-glenn-youngkin-announces-3-million-grant-to-support-civicas-affordable-insulin-programs/ XX If you or someone you love is living with diabetes, you already know the fight isn't just medical—it's financial, too. Between daily supplies, doctor visits, and long-term care, the cost of managing type 1 or type 2 diabetes can be overwhelming. Add college or trade school into the equation, and suddenly staying healthy competes with building a future. That's where scholarships for students with diabetes—like Beyond Scholars and others listed here—step in.   Whether you're headed to a university, a two-year college, or a hands-on trade program, these opportunities were created to ease the load.   Scholarships for students with diabetes Beyond Scholars (from Beyond Type 1): $10,000 for recently graduated high school seniors with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes entering college or trade school. This is one of the largest needs-based diabetes scholarships in the United States. This year, awardees will also receive 6 months of wellness coaching through Risely Health.   Applications open: July 25, 2025 Deadline: August 29, 2025 Winners announced: October 2025 https://beyondtype1.org/beyond-scholars-diabetes-scholarships-college-trade-school/ XX Nick Jonas and Kyle Rudolph are using their platforms for a good cause.   On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the singer and the former NFL tight end (via his professional fundraising platform Alltroo) announced they're teaming up to launch a rally featuring a fan-coveted prize: a custom 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric bus that the Jonas Brothers have brought along for their 20th anniversary tour.   “Ten years ago, we hit the road with a goal to change what it means to live with diabetes. Since then, Beyond Type 1 has grown into the world's largest digital diabetes community, offering the tools, education, and peer support needed to not only survive but thrive with diabetes,” Jonas, who co-founded Beyond Type 1 (a nonprofit that advocates for those living with diabetes), says in a statement.     “We've challenged stigma, built community, provided life-saving resources, and collectively driven global innovation toward prevention and cure. This milestone is a moment to rally even more support for our mission, and partnering with Alltroo helps us do that in a powerful, engaging way.”   Related Stories Nick Jonas on Managing His Diabetes: 'The Mental and Emotional Health Aspect Is Really Important' nick jonas Nick Jonas Says He Was Diagnosed with Diabetes After Joe Told Their Parents: 'Something's Really Wrong' Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas attend the amfAR Cannes Gala 30th edition at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 23, 2024 For Rudolph, the campaign is about "celebrating Beyond Type 1's incredible work over the past decade, and standing behind their vision of a world where everyone with diabetes — or at risk of it — has access to the knowledge, care and support needed for early diagnosis and lifelong health."   While the rally is live on Alltroo.com, fans can also scan QR codes available at all 36 Jonas Brothers concert stops to enter for a chance to win the electric bus. (A winner will be selected on November 14, which is World Diabetes Day.)   Jonas, 32, has long been open about his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis at 13 years old. "I had this kind of wrench thrown into things when I was diagnosed and it took a while to figure out how to count carbs to properly dose for insulin and what things would affect me in different ways," he previously told PEOPLE.   "When I was first diagnosed, I was sitting in the hospital and was scared to death, honestly, while I was learning about how to manage this new thing I was dealing with," Jonas recalled. "It would have been amazing to have someone to look at at that time to say, oh, this is a person living with it and they're following their dreams. They're doing what they want to do with their lives and not letting it slow them down."           https://people.com/nick-jonas-kyle-rudolph-launch-fan-rally-diabetes-awareness-11788684

So really looking forward to today's conversation. John's going to be joining me along with Nicole Cleland, who is our special guest from Legacy Protection Lawyers based outside of St. Petersburg, Florida. And we're going to have a great conversation around understanding those estate planning basics and some other details and information. So it's going to be an excellent episode, so stay tuned and we'll get right into it. John, my friend, how are you this week, buddy? What's going on?   John: Hey, I'm doing all right. I'm excited to have Nicole as our first guest that we've ever had on our podcast here.   Marc: Yeah, our very first guest here on this, so it's excellent to have Nicole here. Nicole, welcome in. How are you?   Nicole: I'm doing great. Thank you both for having me. I'm really excited to be here today.   Marc: Absolutely. So we'll jump in real quick. Just tell us a little bit about you and your firm, what you guys do.   Nicole: Sure. So we are a boutique trust and estates firm, meaning this is all we practice is trust and estates. We do primarily planning, and secondary administrations of estate planning documents, and we also do a little bit of litigation and a little bit of tax planning as well. So we do have a trust and a estates only litigation lawyer and a tax lawyer with us too.   Marc: Okay, excellent. And Bill McQueen is going to be joining us as well on probably the next episode, so we'll get into some conversation with him. But for now, let's just kick things off and get started. Although I do have to ask, I was looking at the website and I see that you are a super lawyer. What is a super lawyer?   Nicole: Yeah, it means that we get a cape every year.   Marc: Nice.   Nicole: No, a super lawyer designation is a designation that you receive from other lawyers in the area and about 5% of practicing attorneys get this designation. So I'm very honored to have been a rising star super lawyer for seven years now, I think.   Marc: Awesome.   Nicole: And yeah, it's nice to know that the professionals that I work with enjoy working with us in our firm too.   Marc: Yeah, that's great. John, you need something like that? You need super advisor or something.   John: I don't know if there's a super advisor, but if there is one, I'm about to see how I can get that.   Marc: There you go.   John: I feel like got as much work as I do, I need a cape as well.   Marc: There you go. Yeah, capes are good. Well let's get into our conversation here. So I wanted to kick things off with just a really simple question for you, Nicole, because a lot of people, I think it's probably changed through the years and you can maybe talk about that as well, but people, I think around estate planning, even financial advisors, tend to think that, well, this is for the ultra wealthy. Those kinds of things are for people that really have a lot of money, and I don't think that's the case. So explain, do you really need an estate plan and if so, why? Can you give us some kind of parameters and some breakdowns on that?   Nicole: Yeah, that's a really great question. And I think a lot of people do think estate planning means you have to have a large estate, but that's really not all estate planning is, I kind of think of it as twofold, you've got planning on the incapacity side and then you've got planning on the after-death side. So you don't really have to have a lot of wealth, or really any wealth, to do estate planning, because if you're incapacitated, you might have very specific wishes on your care, whether that's through any sort of long-term incapacity, through any end-of-life care wishes, whether it's where you want to live, how you would like to be buried, things like that. So it's not necessarily always based around dollar amounts, and I'm sure you all see this and sometimes you have the most complex cases that really aren't the super ultra-high net worth people.   It could just be your run-of-the-mill, middle-class American that has very specific wishes in terms of they've got a blended family, or stepchildren, or maybe a child that has addiction issues. So it can really be more broad than, "Hey, I have all this money and I need a plan for taxes." It's really more complex than that.   Marc: Gotcha. Okay. Is there a difference between estate planning attorneys and elder law? I think people get those confused as well.   Nicole: Oh my gosh, yes, there is a difference. And that's a big one we get too. And for us, the estate planning is planning for... What I say is, you've got tax planning, you've got incapacity planning, asset protection planning, and kind of encompassing all of that, just your run-of-the-mill estate planning, meaning how you would want to plan for things after your passing. But elder law is a little bit more on the incapacity side and planning for one day potentially needing Medicaid, so thinking more of the disability planning. That's how I sort of equated in my mind is you've got an elder law lawyer that's a little bit more on the disability planning side, but a lot of elder law attorneys still do estate planning, but there is a slight distinction between the two and that is important to note.   Marc: Great point. All right, good. What makes an effective estate plan?   Nicole: Oh, that's a fun one too because I like to say the one that works is the one that we have no hiccups with after the testator, or the creator of the plan, has passed away. And that's sort of the hard part on estate planning is my best witness is no longer here to verify that this is what they wanted. So I would say that the best estate plan is one that you can keep family harmony at the end, as much as possible, at least preserve it or maintain that family harmony as much as possible, and administer and execute that settler or that testator's intent. Really kind of making sure that that is the theme throughout the whole administration.   John: So Nicole, you mentioned incapacity, what type of planning goes into that because that comes up quite a bit with Nick and I's clients, where it's coming up where we'll talk about beneficiaries and the estate stuff, but I'll say the incapacity planning is not my strong suit. So I think from our listeners standpoint it'd be good to hear, what does that include?   Nicole: Yeah, that's also a great question because a lot of people, when they think of themselves in the incapacitated context, they think of themselves more in, there was an emergency, I had a bad accident and now I'm on life support for a week and then I'm deceased and then I've passed. And the reality is that's not what happens to most people, especially as we're aging and living longer, more people are experiencing longer bouts of incapacity. And with that, a lot of family members don't really know what that person wanted, where they would've wanted to live, what kind of care they would've wanted to receive.   So when I'm talking to clients about incapacity planning, I try to tell them, don't think of yourself in the context of, "Oh, there was an emergency, I'm out for a week and then I'm gone. I want you to think of it as you've developed some sort of dementia, you've developed some sort of condition where we're going to have long-term incapacity.So when you're thinking about who should be making those types of decisions on your behalf, think about it in the context of you've just signed these people up for a part-time job, if not full-time job." When you're thinking of these individuals, a lot of people default to their children, which is usually best for most people, but it isn't for everyone. And I think it's important for people to sort of think of themselves, which is really hard to do in the situation that they've gotten, they will need long-term care, not the short-term one-week care, but really that long-term care piece, and it's really hard to think of yourself in that boat.   Marc: That makes sense. And documentation has got to be crucial in all of this, right?   Nicole: Absolutely. There's no statutory authority or person that can make any sort of financial or legal decision if you become incapacitated. There is a healthcare statutory order, but it's just spouse, then parents, then children, there's no one after that. So if you're an elder person with no children, not married, you don't have that default person, so it's really important that you do have documents in place. But for most people, whenever you're thinking of who to name in this role and what documents you should have in place, it's so important that you really have a robust plan and documents that really spell out all of the things that you want your named agent to do because there are certain types of statutory forms. So you can look on Florida Statute and just look online and find a statutory form for a living will, but if you present that form that was created by lawyers to a doctor, that doctor's not going to be able to honor that living will. It's not clear enough, it doesn't really express what someone's true intent might be.   So sometimes there is a disconnect between what the lawyers prepare and what the doctors are executing, or what the bank is executing under a durable power of attorney or something like that. And it's important you have a lawyer that's preparing your documents that knows both, that really can make the connection between the different areas of your life in any sort of end-of-life care incapacity situation.   John: When you're meeting with clients, I'm assuming this comes up quite a bit, when someone's having an issue picking who their power of attorney or health care surrogate is, what kind of advice could you provide for that?   Nicole: Yeah, great question too. I tell clients, think of two things when you're considering who you should name in these roles. And the first condition I say, is you want someone who's going to have the time because most people want to name their more intelligent child or, "This child is very smart, they're a doctor, they're a lawyer, they're going to know what to do. They're very smart." But those people typically don't have the time. They're too busy, they've got a family of their own, full-time career, other obligations outside of their job and family that even though they could probably do and be fine with it, they usually don't have the time that's needed to devote to something like this. So I always say, look for someone who's going to have the time. And then two, you're going to want someone who's going to know when to ask for help.   And I always tell clients too, is when we have people do things that are bad, it's not because they're a bad person. Most people aren't doing things to be evil or have any bad intent behind the action, but it's because they didn't know when, or they didn't want to ask for help. I think people still have that, "I want to save money, I don't ask the professional for help." Or, "I think I can do it. I don't need to ask all of these people for advice and things like that." And I think if you have someone who's going to know their limitations, then they're going to get advice, they're going to get opinions from people, and they're going to get a little bit more well-rounded approach on how to provide for mom or dad's care, or whatever it is, or whatever person that we've got here, making decisions on your behalf.   So I would say those two things is, someone who's going to have time, someone who's going to know when to ask for help, because again, it's not always our children, but usually it can be, but it's something where they really need to, if they're comfortable, have that conversation with that person. And that's sort of sometimes a hard conversation to have, especially if you have children that are, "I don't want to talk about it, we don't need to talk about this." But it's really important that you do talk about it because what you don't want is you don't want to name John Doe, and then when John Doe is being called to serve, he's completely taken off guard, he has no idea what to do, he's not prepared. So it's nice to kind of have these conversations with your prospective agents just so that they can start asking questions that they might need to know the answer to one day.   Marc: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I mean, certainly you want to get people in the loop on these things and when you're setting up all your documentation and putting the basics together, I guess we should probably switch and talk a little bit about some of the assets then, because that's where people get confused and kind of wonder about the different rules that are in place. So how does property pass at your death? I guess we can start there.   Nicole: Whenever someone dies, there's really three ways that property can be transferred. The first way is by operation of law, and a good example of that is if you own something jointly with rights of survivorship with someone. So for example, if I own my house joint with my husband, when I die, by operation of law, he will own the home. Nothing else has to occur. He doesn't have to record anything, that's his house.   The second way that property passes is through contract law, and a good example that would be a beneficiary designation. So if you've got a life insurance policy, you could have a contract with that company that says when you die, whatever the death benefit that life insurance policy would be, that would be paid to your named beneficiaries. Another example of a contract is A trust. A trust is a contract you have with typically yourself as trustee, and we could talk a little bit more about trusts later today too. But the third way that property passes is through probate, and probate is really just a fancy court-supervised process of transferring assets out of someone's individual name to your heirs. And if you have a will, then your will says who your beneficiaries are. But if you don't have a will, then the state of Florida tells you who your beneficiaries are.   So really rounding out, how does property transfer whenever someone dies? Those three things are in order of priority, so joint ownership usually supersedes beneficiary designations or other types of contracts, and then both of those items supersede your will. So a lot of people don't realize this, but your will only governs assets that go through probate, and your will would only kick in if you have probate assets. So that's why sometimes when we talk about estate planning, it may be where you really need to confirm with a professional what your estate plan is, because whether you have a will or not, you have an estate plan in place, you just may not know what it is.   Marc: You have the state's plan, right?   Nicole: Correct.   Marc: Yeah, I was always taught, and tell me if this is accurate, that a will just means you will go through probate.   Nicole: I love that. Actually, that's a great phrase there that I should probably start using.   Marc: There you go. You're welcome.   Nicole: Absolutely. Yeah. Your will only is going to govern those assets that have to go through probate, which if you've done other type of planning, you may not need probate, and so you may not need your will. There are, of course, other reasons to do one, but yeah, that phrase is right on point.   Marc: You can jot that down.   John: And Nicole, I think going to get onto some of this stuff deeper in the podcast or maybe next week, but something that always comes up, is how long does someone expect probate to last?   Nicole: Yeah, really good question. I used to say most probates are anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Since COVID, it's been more 12 to 18 months, and I used to kind of say that the 6 to 12 month mark was really dependent on the court process and where the court's cue is and how backlogged they are. I am finding, I think the longer I practice, that your probate administration is probably 60% to 80% indicative of how efficient, and organized, and on top of it your executor or personal representative is. Because if you've got someone who's going to take charge, hop on things, get things done, it can be more on the 12-month mark. But if you have someone who's sort of dragging their feet, and it's, again, part of the grieving process for people. Some people need to dive into stuff, others need to take time to process before they can dive into stuff.   But I would say now probably more 12 to 18 months because I think people are busy, I think people sign up for a lot of things and maybe don't necessarily know they've been signed up for this, but it definitely can take I think more 12 to 18 months now.   Marc: All right, well I want to ask, is a will part of that advanced directive as part of that incapacity conversation? Is that part of that documentation you want to have?   Nicole: A will is what we call an ambulatory document, meaning it actually isn't a valid document until after the testator has passed away. So I sort of joked earlier that when you have an estate plan, your best witness is gone by the time we're effectuating that estate plan, and that's sort of the case with the will. So when it comes to most people's estate plan, when we think about what's included in all of those documents, those legal documents we would prepare, the will is the after-death document, the advanced directives are the pre-death documents. And most estate plans are going to have, at the very least, a durable power of attorney and a healthcare surrogate, with the durable power of attorney being the person that makes financial or legal decisions on your behalf, and your healthcare surrogate being the document where you name someone to be your healthcare proxy or who's making healthcare decisions on your behalf.   So part of a robust advanced directive packet, you should really have those two documents, and a few more if it is your wish to have the additional documents. One of the probably more common questions I get on the incapacity planning side is people generally don't want to be kept on life support, they want that pull the plug document, which we call your living will. That's a document where if you have no cognitive function that you do not want any life-prolonging procedures. You want all of those heroic measures withdrawn so that you can pass naturally, but a lot of clients get that confused with a DNR. A DNR is different, that is what I call heart function. So a DNR is also on yellow paper, it's signed by your doctor, and a lot of doctors typically don't like to sign those types of, Do Not Resuscitate or DNR documents, unless you have some sort of terminal condition.   So that's why, circling back to the beginning, really kind of making sure that your client, if they have a lot of these end of life or incapacity specific wishes, that they're talking to all of their professionals, not just a lawyer but their doctors and things like that.   Marc: Well look, we're doing this multiple part series on estate planning, obviously a wealth of information here from Nicole. So if you've got some questions, you need some help, definitely make sure that you're reaching out and having conversations with qualified professionals and talking about the situations that you're in and what you might need.

In this in-person conversation between friends, Mike Neglia and Bryan Kelly – lead pastor of WestChurch in Bradenton, Florida, host of the Cultivate Church Planting Podcast, and long-time church planter – mix plenty of laughs with rich wisdom for aspiring preachers and church planters.They recall a trip to Uganda from last year, for the Expositors Collective conference, hosted at Calvary Chapel Kampala, and they reflect on the lessons it taught them about preaching, pastoring, and cross-cultural ministry. Bryan shares one of his brilliant ideas – livestreaming himself writing a sermon – which Mike thinks is actually “the dumbest idea ever.” Along the way, they unpack “the forbidden phrase” (“as we all know…”) and why it can unintentionally put up barriers for people who are new to the Bible.The conversation covers explaining Scripture clearly, remembering the variety of people present in every congregation, and drawing on William Perkins' (1558–1602) classic seven categories of hearers. They also explore how pastoring is both a God-given gift and a skill that can be developed, why church planting can be full of hard work yet surprising joy, and how a spin class can be a lot like attending church for the first time.Full of humour, friendship, and practical insights, this episode is an encouraging listen for anyone committed to faithfully preaching God's Word and shepherding God's people.Links:Raymond Bukenya episode: https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/the-urgent-need-for-mentorship-in-ministryRay Bentley episode : https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/episode-18-the-gift-of-healing-the-empowering-of-the-holy-spirit-and-consecutive-bible-teachingCultivate Podcast:  https://cgnmedia.org/podcast/cultivate-church-planting—————Join us August 22–23 at Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg for the nextExpositors Collective Training Weekend — a two-day, interactive eventdesigned to equip and encourage Bible teachers and preachers of allexperience levels.

How and when did Russia become a country of smokers? Why did makhorka and papirosy become ubiquitous products of tobacco consumption? Tricia Starks explores these themes as well as the connections between tobacco, gender, and empire in her latest monograph, Smoking Under the Tsars: A History of Tobacco in Imperial Russia (Cornell University Press, 2018). Starks illustrates how tobacco influenced facets of life, politics, morality, and culture in the 19th century from the perspectives of tobacco users, producers, and objectors. The book includes full-color ads for tobacco and papirosy cigarettes that add to the book's rich prose. From Tolstoy's anti-tobacco screed to the “Tobacco Queens” of St. Petersburg, Starks uses primary sources to craft an edifying narrative of the history of tobacco and tobacco consumption in the imperial period. Tricia Starks is Professor of History at the University of Arkansas. Her research interests include Russian and Soviet history, public health and the history of medicine, as well as culture and gender. Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon is a History Instructor at Lee College.

Will Packer is a visionary film and television producer whose storytelling prowess has captivated audiences worldwide. From humble beginnings making self-distributed indie films to producing box office hits like "Girls Trip," "Think Like a Man," and "Ride Along," Will is recognized for blending creativity with strong leadership and relentless drive. An advocate for payingit forward and empowering others, he recently released his book Who Better Than You? The Art of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big, sharing leadership lessons and the mindset that fueled his incredible journey from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Hollywood's elite.    Takeaways: ·       Your Obligation Is Bigger Than Yourself – Will believes in using his privileged position to give back, not just to his family but also to his community. True legacy, he shares, is built through positively impacting others, not just personal accomplishments. ·       Success Requires Action, Not Just Passion – Will didn't wait for the “perfect passion” to strike. He took action, learned hands-on, and found his true calling by doing rather than waiting, encouraging us all to be doers, not just dreamers. ·       Healthy Arrogance Fuels Achievement – Confidence is a muscle. Will's mantra, “Who better than you?” challenges us to own our unique value, walk in rooms knowing we belong, and see self-belief as a tool for leadership—not toxic arrogance, but the healthy kind that brings everyone up.    Sound Bites: "I didn't wait for my passion to hit me in the face. Too many of us do that now. I went and did something I did well—and found my passion within it." "Success is a bottom line business. At the end of the day, you'll be judged by if you delivered or not." "Healthy arrogance is understanding you can make any room better while bringing everyone up—not tearing anyone down."    Quote by Mick: "Some days I do. Right. Some days I don't. But, like, I make sure that I fulfill the obligation more than I don't fulfill the obligation."

      About this episode:  From June 18, 1864 until April 2, 1865, the Union Armies of the James and Potomac laid siege to Peterburg, Virginia - the all-important supply and communication center for Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and Richmond itself. After 45 days of constant bloodletting in the Overland Campaign, the contesting forces began what would mirror warfare five decades later - miles and miles of trenches, denuded landmarks and death not so much by rifled muskets and artillery but disease. This is the story of the Confederacy's long, slow descent into darkness. This the story of the siege of Petersburg.    ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: George Gordon Meade Wade Hampton III Benjamin Butler Philip Sheridan John B.

Edition No204 | 28-07-2025 - Russia cancelled Navy Day parades for the first time – which is a deep embarrassment to the Kremlin, as it's the first time this significant military holiday has been canned. This follows closely on the heels of the airport shutdowns, after drone swarms forced their closure. What does this says about Putin's naval myth colliding with battlefield reality. Well we already knew that the tsar's navy isn't immune from Ukrainian drones.Navy Day (“Day of the VMF”) was revived in 2017 by Putin, transforming Russia's fleet into a centerpiece of national pride. The main event in St. Petersburg featured grand naval reviews on the Neva, with warships parading past Kronstadt, foreign delegations, military bands, and tens of thousands of spectators—major PR theater for the Kremlin (AP News).But this year, the parade was scrapped entirely. British intelligence declared:"It is almost certain that Day of the Russian Navy parades… originally expected… July 27, 2025, have been cancelled… due to force protection concerns."

What if the whole story of the Bible could be told through four mountains?In this conversation, Mike speaks with theologian and pastor Michael Niebauer about his new book, Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion. They explore how the geography of Eden, Sinai, Tabor, and Zion can guide readers toward a deeper understanding of Scripture—and a more faithful approach to preaching it.Michael reflects on his own development as a preacher, the discipline of lectionary-based sermons, and the formative role of repetition, feedback, and theological tradition. He outlines how early Christian exegesis, especially the writings of figures like Ephrem the Syrian, shaped his thinking and helped him connect the Old and New Testaments with fresh clarity.Other highlights include:Why Eden was probably a mountainHow to preach biblical symbolism without confusing your listenersThe Bible as unapologetically TrinitarianBalancing historical context with spiritual readingMinistry to the elderly through Heritage MissionAnd why every sermon should lead to love of God and neighbourWhether you're a seasoned preacher or simply looking for new ways to read the Bible, this episode offers theological insight and practical encouragement.Michael Niebauer is an Anglican Pastor and Director of Heritage Mission, an initiative that trains leaders to start worship services in care facilities.

It's Tuesday, July 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson U.S. Christian statesmen call attention to persecution of Christians U.S. Republican Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia and Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri introduced a congressional resolution (H. Res. 594) condemning the widespread and ongoing persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority countries. On April 30th, Congressman Moore took a stand on the floor of the U.S. House. MOORE: “Today, I rise to address a grave and urgent crisis: the rampant persecution of Christians in Africa and the Middle East. Across these regions, our brothers and sisters in faith experience violence, displacement, and death for their belief in our Lord, Jesus Christ. No person or community should ever face such brutal conditions for acknowledging the name of Jesus. “In Nigeria, the situation is dire! More Christians face persecution there than any other nation combined. Since the outbreak of the Boko Haram's insurgency in 2009, more than 18,000 churches and 2,200 Christian schools have been destroyed in northern Nigeria alone. “More than 50,000 Christians have been killed, and more than 5 million have been displaced since 2009, making it the most dangerous country in the world for Christians.” The July 17th resolution highlights the horrific slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, pastors arrested in Algeria, the torture of Christians in Yemen, the imprisonment of Christians in Iran, and other persecution taking place in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. The statement urged U.S. President Donald Trump to “prioritize the protection of persecuted Christians in U.S. foreign policy, including in the President's diplomatic engagement with Muslim-majority countries and his efforts to stabilize the Middle East.”   It further urged him to “use all diplomatic tools available, including within trade and national security discussions and negotiations, to advance the protection of persecuted Christians worldwide and within Muslim-majority countries.” Colorado Christian bookstore files lawsuit against state over pronouns A Colorado Christian bookstore is suing the state for imposing recent changes to the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act on businesses. Born Again Used Books in Colorado Springs has filed the suit through Alliance Defending Freedom, pointing out the infringement of the business' freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.   The suit states that under Colorado's laws, “It is now illegal for public accommodations, like independent bookstores, to refer to transgender-identifying individuals with biologically accurate language in their publications and customer interactions.” And "Born Again Used Books must instead profess an ideological view it opposes, contradict the message espoused in the very books it sells, and avoid explaining its Christian beliefs about human sexuality in store and online. In effect, the law requires this Christian bookstore to abandon its core religious beliefs." London Pentecostal church now allowed to share Christ in streets A London Pentecostal church has achieved a reversal of a ban on evangelistic outreach on the streets, reports The U.K. Standard. The local government had passed an Anti-Social Behavior, Crime and Policing Act forbidding the use of amplification equipment, the distribution of religious literature, and the display of Bible verses at the town center.  The Kingsborough Centre Church filed for judicial review, and obtained a reversal.   The City also paid the church's legal costs incurred during the ordeal. Isaiah 43:16-17 says, “Thus says the Lord,  Who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick.” Brazilian Supreme Court restricts former president Jair Bolsonaro Brazil's previous conservative president, Jair Bolsonaro, has come under severe restrictions by the Brazilian Supreme Court, reports Folha News. This comes days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods. Bolsonaro was forced to wear an electronic ankle bracelet. He cannot access social media accounts, and is prohibited from contacting his son who lives in the United States. The former Brazilian president has denied any responsibility for Trump's decision to impose tariffs, but also recently publicly thanked God for the election of Trump. Department stores are going bye-bye Department stores are a thing of the past.   Thirty years ago, these stores captured 9% of all retail sales. Today, they account for only a half percent. Meanwhile, e-commerce (like Amazon and walmart.com) now take 17.2% of total retail sales up from 5.4% of the pie in 2003. Dropping condominium prices a bad sign Condominium prices usually lead price declines on an imploding house market. This real estate is dropping like a rock in some big cities.  The big losers right now are Oakland, California and Austin Texas, with a 24% drop, followed by St. Petersburg, Florida, Fort Myers, Florida, Sarasota, Florida, San Francisco, California, Boise, Idaho, and Denver, Colorado. New president announced at G3 Ministries Dr. Scott Aniol has been appointed the new president of G3 Ministries after Josh Buice's removal from office earlier in the year. The elders of Pray's Mill Baptist Church had uncovered irrefutable evidence that Buice has, for the past three years, operated at least four anonymous social media accounts, two anonymous email addresses, and two Substack platforms. These accounts were used to publicly and anonymously slander numerous Christian leaders, including faithful pastors -- some of whom have spoken at G3 conferences. The G3 Church Network subscribes to the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession, and claims 200 U.S. churches in the network. Dr. Aniol obtained his Doctorate degree in Theological Studies from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Fusion energy technology could power the world And finally, fusion energy technology is advancing, and may soon be a reality — an unlimited source of power for the world. Earlier this year, China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak broke the world record for maintaining its artificial sun, and sustaining the hot plasma — confining plasma for an extraordinary 1,066 seconds, or about 18 minutes. A tokamak is a device that uses magnetic fields to confine and heat plasma, a state of matter where atoms are stripped of their electrons, to extreme temperatures, enabling nuclear fusion to occur.  A German fusion reactor at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, also just hit a record of 43 seconds of plasma heating, producing 1.8 gigajoules over a six-minute run. The sun is the original fusion reactor. As Psalm 19:1 and 4b-8 puts it: “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. … In them, He has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.  Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, July 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.
