Willy Wonka meets reality TV, and the result is weird, cutthroat, and way more debatable than you'd expect. Four friends break down Netflix's Wonka's The Golden Ticket—and they do not agree on whether it feels more like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. From Gene Wilder's AI voice to the show's surprisingly PG tone, the gang debates what it gets right, what feels off, and why the nostalgia lands differently for everyone. Dre, J-Time, CJ, and Lydell dig into the season's most memorable rooms and challenges, the ruthless strategy, the biggest gameplay mistakes, and the contestants they thought would win. They also unpack the finale twist that changed everything—and debate whether a $3 million prize paid out over 30 years is really life-changing money. In this episode:Does the show feel like classic Wonka or a cutthroat competition?How does the AI recreation of Gene Wilder's voice land?Did the Oompa Loompas work—or were they a little creepy?Were contestants unfairly edited, or is that just reality TV?Which mistakes changed the course of the game?Would you take $3 million over 30 years or a lump sum?If you watched the series and want a lively, unfiltered breakdown of its nostalgia, challenges, betrayals, and big decisions, join the conversation.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. -------------------- 01 Introduction This is the fourth episode in an 8 part series. 02 In the previous episode we looked at the Allen Bradley PLC2, one of the very early successful Programmable Logic Controllers. In this episode we will look at another early PLC, the Siemens S5 series, and use it as an example of both how PLCs became more sophisticated, as well as an example of a different approach to the overall software architecture. Again, I will only touch on this topic lightly, this is not a course on how to program PLCs. However, I will give you enough technical detail to give you are rough idea of what they were like. -------------------- 03 S5 Historical Background Siemens are the largest PLC vendor on a global basis, and have been since the early days. Their first PLC was the S3, released in 1975, two years before Allen Bradley released the PLC2. There seems to be almost no information available on the S3, so I can't say much about it. In 1978 or 1979, sources are unclear about the exact date, Siemens released the S5 series. This was a huge step forward in capability and was the foundation of their PLC product line until replaced by the S7 series in the mid 1990s. In this episode I will focus on the U series, which were an upgrade to the original S5. -------------------- 04 A Complete Family of PLCs Fully developed, the Siemens S5 series was a complete family of products covering the entire size spectrum from smallest to largest. Siemens covered the entire industrial control market, and there was almost nothing they didn't have somewhere in their catalogue. You could spend an entire career using nothing but Siemens products for everything. 05 At the lowest end were the S5-100 series, consisting of the S5-100, 102, 103, 90, and 95. These covered everything from the small "shoebox" all in one form factor to ones which overlapped the mid range in terms of capability except for their compact I/O cards which were smaller and slower than the full size models. The S5-115 formed the mid range, coming in a "full size" form factor in terms of packaging and rack size. The S5-135 and S5-155 extended the S5-115 in terms of speed and memory. 06 In this episode I will focus on the lower end S5-100 series for the sake of simplicity, and will not make any reference to any additional capabilities of the larger models. It will be much too time consuming and confusing to try to cover everything, and there wouldn't be much point to it. -------------------- 07 Data Memory Types If you recall the previous episode, the Allen Bradley PLC2 had a data table, or memory system, that was a single linear range of memory with all I/O and internal capabilities mapped into fixed numerical addresses. Allen Bradley were to abandon this approach in their later PLC5 series introduced in the mid to late 1980s, but we won't cover that here. The Siemens S5 series however took the approach of having different types of memory addresses for different purposes. I will describe those for the S5-100 series now. 08 Input and Output Addresses The standard I/O modules for these compact PLCs had 8 inputs or 8 outputs per I/O module. These module plugged into a flat bus (as opposed to an enclosed rack) with slots numbered from 0 through 31 in decimal. Each of these slots had an associated byte number, and each I/O point on the individual modules had a bit number. 09 Input and output addresses had the following format. Letter , number, decimal point, number. The letter was either I or Q. I indicated inputs. Q indicated outputs. The first number was the byte number, which corresponded to the physical I/O module slot. The second number was the bit number within the byte, starting from zero. 10 So "I2.3" indicated an input module located in the third slot (numbered from zero) and addressed the fourth input (numbered from zero) on that module. Outputs worked the same way. For example "Q 5.1" 11 Analogue modules could be located slots 0 through 7. Analogue if you recall, refers to voltages which have varying levels rather than just on or off, and can represent things like temperature. Each analogue module was assigned 8 bytes per slot, starting at address 64 and going up to 127. In practice many of these so called "analogue" modules had nothing to do with actual analogue voltages, but rather any advanced module which needed more address space was used here. Even later high density digital I/O used these addresses. 12 Each of these addresses could be addressed as bytes or words. In this case input bytes were indicated by an "IB" prefix, and input words were indicated by a "IW" prefix. Output bytes used a "QB" prefix and output words used a "QW" prefix. 13 Flags Flags are individual bits of internal memory that are used for storing intermediate logic values. These began with an "F" prefix. An S5-103 had a total of 2048, numbered from F0.0 to F255.7. 14 Counters Counters started with a "C" prefix. An S5-103 had 128 of these numbered from C0 to C127. 15 Timers Timers started with a "T" prefix. An S5-103 had 128 of these numbered from T0 to T127. 16 Data Blocks Programs needing to deal with byte and word memory could create what were known as "Data Blocks". These were blocks of PLC memory that could be created as the discretion of the programmer. An S5-103 could have a maximum of 254 data blocks numbered from DB2 to DB255. Two additional data blocks were reserved for the PLC's internal operations. Data blocks could contain up to 255 16 bit words. 17 However, the actual number and size of data blocks would in practice be limited by available memory. Even 20 kilo bytes was considered to be a large memory, and this had to be shared with the program. A data block would be "called" to make it the current data block. Then individual words would be addressed with the "DW" prefix. For example "DW5". -------------------- 18 Program Blocks If you recall with the PLC2, there was a "main" program and a series of optional numbered subroutines. In the S5, programs were split into "blocks". These were Organization Blocks Program Blocks Function Blocks Sequence Blocks An S5-103 could have up to 256 of each of these blocks. 19 Organization Blocks When the PLC started up, it would look for Organization Block 1 and begin execution there. You could consider this to be the equivalent of the "main" function in a C program. Organization blocks had an OB prefix. For example OB1. With a very simple program in a very small S5 PLC, all of the program logic could be simply put in OB1. However, with larger programs , it was convention to put the logic in subroutines and simply have OB1 call each subroutine. 20 Program Blocks These had a PB prefix. For example PB10. Normal ladder logic style programming would go in these. It was convention to split up a program into pieces and put piece in its own program block. Normal practice was to have a program block correspond to a particular part of the machine. 21 Function Blocks These had an FB prefix. For example FB64. Function blocks differed from program blocks in that they could take parameters. This allowed you to write an FB that performed some sort of complex data transforms and re-use it by calling it with different parameters. Some instructions could only be used in FBs, not in other types of blocks. There were also built in FBs in some CPU models which performed certain operations such as converting BCD (or Binary Coded Decimal) to normal integer. 22 Sequence Blocks These has an SB prefix. For example, SB25. These were like PBs, but were intended for controlling sequences of operations where each SB performed as single step of the sequence and multiple blocks were used for a sequence. -------------------- 23 Programming Languages The S5 series offered four different programming languages. These were Ladder (abbreviated as LAD) Statement List (abbreviated as STL) Control System Flowchart (abbreviated as SCF) GRAPH 5 24 You should be familiar with ladder if you listened to previous episodes. Briefly however, it is a graphical programming language which followed the appearance of electrical ladder wiring diagrams which were familiar to engineers, technicians and electricians working with manufacturing equipment. 25 Statement List is a text based programming language which resembles an assembly language for an abstract processor architecture. Boolean logic results were calculated and saved on a stack, while integer values were operated on directly from memory or in two accumulators, ACCU1 and ACCU 2. 26 Control System Flowchart is a graphical language that takes the form of rectangular blocks with one or more inputs and an output. These blocks are laid out on a screen and then wired together rather like logic gates in a electronic schematic. 27 GRAPH 5 is Siemens' implementation of the GRAFCET (Graphe Fonctionnel de Commande Étapes Transitions) IEC 60848 flow chart standard. The IEC are the International Electrotechnical Commission, an international standards organization. 28 I will focus on Ladder and Statement List, as these were by far the most commonly used and we have limited time to discuss the S5. -------------------- 29 Statement List As mentioned above, Statement List can be thought of as the assembly language for an abstract CPU architecture. The firmware in the S5 PLC will run the instructions in an interpreter. 30 The RLO Boolean or bit oriented instructions operate on a logic stack known as the RLO, or Result of Logic Operation. Boolean operations typically take one operand. When a boolean operation is executed, if the RLO is empty it simply loads the operand onto the RLO. If the RLO is not empty, then the instruction is executed using the operand and the RLO, and the result replaces the value on the top of the RLO stack. Some boolean instructions do not take an operand, but rather work on the two topmost values on the RLO. If you are familiar with languages such as FORTH, this should sound very familiar. 31 The Accumulators Word oriented instructions work on two accumulators, ACCU 1 and ACCU 2. A load instruction will load a word or byte value from a memory location or a constant into ACCU 1. The value that was in ACCU 1 then gets shifted into ACCU 2. A transfer instruction will write the value in ACCU 1 to memory. The remaining word oriented instructions will operate on the values in ACCU 1 and ACCU 2, and place their result in ACCU 1, overwriting the existing contents. So for example, an add instruction will add the value in ACCU 2 to the value in ACCU 1, leaving the sum in ACCU 1. 32 Ladder As mentioned above, ladder is a graphical programming language which has the appearance of an electrical control ladder diagram as used with actual relays. The is by far the most common programming language used with PLCs. A ladder program however is just another way of presenting statement list. 33 To put it another way, a statement list program can be displayed on a computer screen as either lines of text, or a graphical symbols laid out in a meaningful pattern. All valid ladder programs can be represented as statement list. However, not all valid statement list sequences can be represented as ladder. Statement list is inherently more flexible than ladder, which means that you simply can't always translate both ways fully. 34 None the less, most typical control logic can be represented as ladder, and ladder is the preferred representation as it is quicker to understand at a glance when debugging a software or hardware problem. On the other hand, some statement list instructions have no ladder equivalent, or the algorithm may not lend itself to being represented in ladder. In these cases normal practice is to put the simple control logic in ladder in Program Blocks, and put the non-translatable statement list logic in Function Blocks. 35 Control System Flowchart and GRAPH 5 Like ladder, CSF and GRAPH 5 are actually implemented in statement list, and many of the considerations mentioned above apply to those as well. However, I won't go into any further detail on these here. -------------------- 36 Programming Software and Hardware There were two ways of entering a program into an S5 PLC. One way was the hand held programming terminal. The other was via the STEP 5 programming software. 37 Hand Held Terminal Like many if not most PLC vendors, Siemens sold a hand held programming terminal. There were a series of these, an example being the PG 605. This was a box like a large calculator which had buttons and a small display. The buttons corresponded to various instructions and a numeric keypad, and the display would show the current instruction being entered. To use it you would plug a cable attached to the hand held terminal into the programming port on the front of the PLC CPU module. You could then enter or view the program, one instruction at a time. 38 STEP 5 Programming Software The other way of programming was to use software running on a PC. Siemens called their software STEP 5. This was an integrated editing and debugging program. Originally it ran on CP/M. 39 Siemens sold their own portable PCs with the software preloaded, and with additional built in hardware features such as an EPROM burner. These computers were also known as "PGs". STEP 5 was later ported to MS-DOS by running it on a CP/M emulator which people would use to run it on an off the shelf PC such as a laptop. Later still a native MS-DOS port was produced. 40 This had modes for Statement List. Ladder, and Control System Flowchart. GRAPH 5 was a separate program. You could toggle between STL, LAD, and CSF modes, and if the software could translate what was there form one mode to another, it would. 41 The PC would be connected to the PLC by a cable which had an interface box in the middle. This could be used to download a program to the PLC, upload a program to take a backup, modify a running program, or debug a running program. -------------------- 42 Instructions I won't list all the instructions, as that would take too long. I will instead give a brief overview of them. I will deliberately skip over obscure instructions that would take too long to explain. 43 Basic Operations Boolean Operations There is a full set of boolean operations including and, and not, or, or not, set, reset, and assign. The assign operation would assign the RLO value to the address of the specified operand. 44 Load and Transfer The Load instruction would load the value of a memory address word or byte or a constant into accumulator 1. There are about 2 dozen variations on the load instruction. The transfer operation would write a word or byte from accumulator 1 into memory. There are about a dozen variations of the transfer operation. 45 Timers and Counters There are 5 different types of timers. Timers take the value in accumulator 1 as their preset when started. There are up counters and down counters, which count up and down respectively. Again, these take the value in accumulator 1 as the preset. 46 Arithmetic Operations The only native arithmetic operations in the S5-100U series are addition and subtraction. These add or subtract the values in accumulator 1 and 2. Another set of add instructions allows adding a constant. However, the 103 and 95 CPUs offered integer multiple and divide as integrated function blocks, FB242 and FB243. You would call these function blocks with the desired parameters and they would return their results in other parameters. 47 Comparison Operations There are a complete set of integer comparison operations which operate on the values in the two accumulators. These include greater than, greater than or equal to, etc. The boolean result is saved on the RLO. 48 Block Call and Return There is a complete set of unconditional and conditional call operations to call all of the various types of blocks. There are also unconditional and conditional return operations. Calling a data block makes it the current data block, for load and transfer operations on data words 49 NOP or No Op As implied these instructions have no result. 50 Stop This stops the program executing 51 Binary Word Operations These operate on words in the accumulators. These include AND, OR, XOR, Shift Left, and Shift Right. 52 Bit Operations These test, set, or reset individual bits in data words or in timers and counters. 53 Conversion Instructions There are instructions to perform one's complement or two's complement of the value in accumulator 1. 54 Jump Operations There are unconditional and conditional operations to jump forward or back to a label. This is equivalent to a GOTO operation. 55 Indirect Addressing or "DO" operations These instructions allow jumping to a block or selecting a data word or flag word according to a number stored in another address. Essentially, these instructions are like pointers. 56 Miscellaneous There are also various other instructions that do things like copy blocks of words, or swap the contents of the accumulators, 57 Other Instructions There are still more instructions which I have skipped over as it would take too much time to explain them. 58 Instruction Summary As you can see the S5 PLC offers a very comprehensive set of operations which go well beyond what most people would think of as what a PLC does. This is a very powerful instruction set. 59 On the one hand this is a good thing, as you can do nearly anything. On the other hand, this is a bad thing, as some people take this as license to do nearly anything. In the hands of the wrong person, this results in a complex mass of spaghetti code that not even the person who wrote it can figure out later. 60 This goes against the philosophy of PLC programming, which is to make things as simple and obvious as possible. With a PLC program, perfection is achieved not when it has as many advanced features as possible, but rather when it is not possible to make it any simpler. 61 While Siemens gave the programmer a range of powerful low level instructions from which he could construct nearly anything, many other vendors took a different approach. They instead studied what was needed in major market segments and provided the programmer with instructions that operated at a higher level of abstraction, allowing programs to be written in less time and with fewer instructions. -------------------- 62 Execution Speed Execution speed of instructions varied depending on the PLC CPU model. Here are some typical values for the low end S5-100 series CPUs. 63 A boolean AND instruction executed in 70 microseconds on a S5-100U, or in 4 microseconds on an S5-102U, or in 1.6 microseconds on an S5-103U. 64 Adding two words in the accumulators executed in 55 microseconds on a S5-100U, or in 23 microseconds on an S5-102U, or in 1.6 microseconds on an S5-103U. 65 The S5-103U had a custom logic coprocessor chip, known as the M5. Instructions that were executed on the M5 coprocessor tended to take a uniform 1.6 microseconds. However, complex instructions that were not executed on the M5 coprocessor were often slower than on CPUs that didn't have a coprocessor, such as the 100 or 102. I suspect this is due to some sort of overhead relating to coordination of the two processors. 66 However, most instructions in a normal program are boolean logic, so very fast boolean execution time is what matters. Since every instruction is executed every scan cycle, large programs require faster instruction execution in order to keep up with demand. -------------------- 67 The S7 Series Replaces the S5 In the mid 1990s, Siemens began introducing the S7 series which would ultimately replace the S5, although that took a number of years to happen. 68 The hardware was all new, but from a programmer's perspective, the S7 was an evolution of the S5. Some statement list instructions were dropped and others were added. Most of the basic concepts however remained the same. Porting an S5 program to an S7 was a complete re-write, but it was a fairly straightforward one. 69 The exception to this was the S7-200 series, which came into Siemens from the outside as part of their take over of of the PLC division of Texas Instruments. The S7-200 was an American knock off of a Japanese PLC and sold as a German product. It was none the less an excellent PLC and sold in very large numbers. The S7-200 was eventually replaced by something that was compatible with the rest of the S7 line 70 The S7 series has gone through a number of hardware revisions and remains Siemens' main PLC line today. It can via the S5 trace its lineage back to the 1970s and the early days of PLCs. -------------------- 71 Other Developments Japanese PLC Vendors I haven't covered any Japanese PLC vendors in the same way that I covered the PLC2 or S5. I had planned on doing another episode on one but I don't think it would really add much to what we have already discussed. However, PLCs from Japan are among the top sellers world wide and are generally very highly regarded. 72 Pace of Innovation In terms of general history across the industry, in the early days of PLCs evolution was fairly rapid. Later on, innovation slowed down as compatibility with the existing install base became a bigger factor. Technology has become fairly static, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing from a business perspective. I will return to this subject later however. -------------------- 73 Conclusion In this episode we covered the Siemens S5 series of PLCs. We covered the history of the S5, it memory and addressing, the different types of subroutines, programming languages, the instructions, and how it was succeeded by the S7 series. 74 We saw how PLCs had rapidly evolved from their very early relay-replacement origins to become powerful programmable devices. In the next episode we will look at I/O modules and how they allow a PLC CPU to interface to hardware and control machines. 75 This has been the fourth episode in an 8 part series. -------------------- Provide feedback on this episode.

David Milner is Chairman at premium pizza brand Crosta Mollica. This business, as announced last week, will soon be merged with European Pizza Group (Nestlé spin off, with brands like Buitoni), becoming the biggest player in the old Continent. David will be the new CEO of this new 1BN sales entity.   In this conversation, recorded in London before summer, we reflect on David's career, which has had two very differentiated episodes: the first, a "conventional" corporate career at P&G, Mars and Campbell's and, a second one, much more entrepreneurial and PE-focused, which has seen him successfully grow and exit businesses like Tyrell's Crisps or Lily's Kitchen.   Tune in to hear about: From P&G, Mars and Campbell's to private equity Scaling and exiting Tyrrells and Lily's Kitchen David's checklist for spotting winning consumer brands Why superior product has to come first How Crosta & Mollica is disrupting the pizza category Competing with multinationals through speed and consumer focus Premiumisation, packaging and winning in-store Leadership, great teams and taking calculated risks Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jtuyNbGJXGs  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fmcgguys/  Audio Mixing by Modest Ferrer Voice Acting by Jason Martorell Parsekian Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The FMCG Guys (Dwyer Partners SL) or its partners.

SMART'S TINY #2 HAS SURPRISINGLY SERIOUS ENGINEERINGsmart's new sub-3-metre electric #2 uses rear-wheel drive, 50:50 weight distribution, five-link independent rear suspension and a compact 11-in-1 electric-drive unit to maximise cabin space and manoeuvrability. Its 35.8 kWh CATL battery targets about 300 km WLTP range and 10–80% charging in 20 minutes, while seven airbags and a body made from more than 78% high-strength steel underpin its safety pitch ahead of the 12 October Paris debut.RIVIAN GAINS WASHINGTON LICENCE FOR DIRECT SALESRivian has obtained a Washington motor vehicle dealer licence allowing it to sell directly through company-owned locations, although it has not said when in-state sales, test drives or deliveries will begin. It is also preparing a showroom and service centre with 13 service bays and 21 chargers for an expected early-spring 2027 opening, serving a state with almost 10,000 registered Rivians.USED-DIESEL VALUES FALL AS DIESEL COSTS AROUND 14% MOREUK diesel prices are around 14% higher than petrol, contributing to falling used-diesel values as motorists reconsider whether the fuel still makes economic sense. Higher fuel costs following geopolitical disruption and the arrival of cheaper EVs are accelerating diesel's decline, although Britain's 4.8 million diesel vans have had fewer alternatives until the recent arrival of longer-range electric vans.PG&E WILL PAY GM EV DRIVERS TO HELP TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE GRIDGM and PG&E are offering eligible Northern and Central California buyers of new Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC EVs a free GM home charger, although customers must pay installation costs. Drivers using participating chargers and OnStar can receive a $15 monthly bill credit plus up to another $50 for allowing PG&E's Charge Manager software to shift charging towards periods of lower grid demand or cheaper electricity.HYUNDAI: “YOU MUST BE IN THE GAME” ON SOLID-STATE BATTERIESHyundai will continue developing solid-state batteries despite R&D chief Manfred Harrer saying he does not expect their raw-material costs to become suitable for mass-market vehicles within five years. Hyundai is working internally and with partners including Solid Power, with Harrer expecting small-volume halo vehicles using solid-state packs to reach the market within that period while broader adoption remains further away.HYUNDAI TESTS 200 KWH USED-BATTERY STORAGEHyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution are testing a 200 kWh stationary storage system using retired batteries from E-GMP vehicles at a fast-charging site in South Korea. The pilot will charge the batteries during off-peak periods and discharge during high demand, testing whether used EV packs can safely and economically reduce grid peaks and charging-station costs.POWERCO DELAYS $7-BILLION ST. THOMAS BATTERY FACTORY BY TWO YEARSVolkswagen's PowerCo has delayed the opening of its $7-billion St. Thomas battery factory in Ontario by two years, citing changing market demand, technological developments and Volkswagen Group strategy. Construction is continuing on the 16-million-square-foot plant, which has received commitments of $700 million from Canada's federal government and $500 million from Ontario.BOSCH WARNS COSTLY BATTERY REPAIRS COULD SHORTEN EV LIVESBosch warns that ageing EVs could be scrapped prematurely if owners cannot economically repair individual battery components once their original warranties expire. It argues that module-level repairs could keep otherwise usable cars on the road, avoiding situations where the cost of replacing an entire battery exceeds the vehicle's value.KIA PV5 CHASSIS UK CONVERSIONS DUE FOURTH QUARTER 2026Kia has introduced the PV5 Chassis, an E-GMP.S-based electric commercial-vehicle platform designed for specialist body conversions including UK tipper, dropside and Box/Luton versions from TGS Automotive Group. UK models will use the 71.2 kWh Long Range battery exclusively, while other European markets will also receive a 51.1 kWh Standard Range version.THREE-QUARTERS OF 20 LEADING UK PHEVS CANNOT USE RAPID CHARGERSChargeUK says three-quarters of the UK's 20 best-selling plug-in hybrid models cannot use rapid chargers, with only 26% of vehicles sold across those models capable of charging at 50 kW or more and none supporting 150 kW ultra-rapid charging. The charging-industry group argues that limited public charging capability encourages PHEV drivers to rely on petrol and warns the government against treating higher PHEV sales as equivalent to wider electrification.VERTICAL OPENS £1.5M VALO ASSEMBLY CENTREVertical Aerospace has opened a £1.5 million, 60,000-square-foot assembly centre at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire to build Valo electric aircraft for certification testing. Assembly of the first certification aircraft is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027, with commercial certification targeted for 2029 and around 1,500 pre-orders reported from customers including major airlines and aviation operators.

This is also the first time we've released a podcast in full video. So even if you're typically an audio podcast listener, we highly recommend you watch the full video on Youtube (click the link above). Let us know if you enjoyed our live show, and if you'd like to attend one in the future. "Don't override your players' experience with your version of the story." Emotional, hilarious, and... sexy?! Our very first REPOD Live Show was full of unexpected turns involving McDonald's drive thrus, a romance that blossomed amidst the most terrifying experience I've ever played, and some truly memorable moments. Oh, and it also had more references to sex than we've ever had on twelve seasons of this show. I guess that's what happens when you're recording live. We've been wanting to take Reality Escape Pod live for a long time. What better place to finally do it than at RECON, our own escape room convention? For this experiment, we needed the right guest. Gijs Geers of DarkPark Escape Rooms in the Netherlands was perfect for this live show. Gijs is an escape room creator, owner, and former magician who has experienced plenty of the industry's highs and lows. What I appreciated most, though, was how candid Gijs was willing to be. He wasn't banging the drum of his self-importance. He got real with us. At times, he even became emotional, particularly when talking about the excitement and anxiety the TERPECAs bring. It made for a surprisingly personal conversation, especially considering it was all happening live on the RECON stage.   Full Show Notes   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: Buzzshot Bookings, Ubisoft VR Escape Games, Immersif, and Patreon supporters like you.

Dr. 2$ Dare joins The Popcorn Priest for Part 1 of a two-part look at Better Off Dead, the wonderfully bizarre 1985 comedy starring John Cusack.We dig into the film's dark humor, cartoon-like visual gags, endlessly quotable dialogue, and the way director Savage Steve Holland twists familiar teen-movie tropes into something completely his own.We also talk about Holland's animation background, the cast, the meaning of a PG rating in the '80s, whether younger audiences would still find the movie funny, and some sharply divided audience reviews.If you like cult comedies, weird '80s movies, or John Cusack at peak teenage chaos, this one is for you.#BetterOffDead #JohnCusack #80sComedy #CultClassic #MovieReview

Today Matt & Todd kick off Halloween season by delving into The Gate, a 1987 supernatural horror film directed by Tibor Takács. When The Gate hit HBO, it quickly became an instant rewatch for us, we're surprised it took us so long to get to it.As 1980s horror films go, this one is fairly tame. It is PG-13, after all, but don't let that turn you off. The Gate is a lot of fun. What it lacks in sex, drugs, and splatter, it makes up for with story, atmosphere, and practical effects that still hold up nearly 40 years later. Whether you're discovering it for the first time or revisiting an old favorite, it's well worth your time.One of the things that makes The Gate stand out is that it features a cast of surprisingly likable characters. Unlike many horror films, you're not simply waiting for everyone to be picked off one by one. There's genuine heart here, which gives the story emotion often missing from the genre. We like to call it a "starter horror film." There is some genuinely creepy material that still works today, but it's accessible enough for a wide audience.The Gate stars:Stephen Dorff as GlenChrista Denton as Alexandra "Al" (Whit Bissell Award Winner - Todd)Louis Tripp as Terry ChandlerKelly Rowan as Lori LeeJennifer Irwin as Linda LeeDeborah Grover as MomScot Denton as DadIngrid Veninger as Paula (Whit Bissell Award Winner - Matt)Sean Fagan as EricLinda Goranson as Mrs. ChandlerCarl Kraines as The WorkmanAndrew Gunn as BradA few years later, Tibor Takács returned with The Gate II: Trespassers. It's a fun sequel in its own right, though a bit more uneven than the original. While it doesn't resonate as strong, or hit the mark as well as the first film, there's still plenty to enjoy. The original is an enduring cult-classic, a status well deserved. While Trespassers may not be quite as good, it offers enough creativity and charm to make it worth a watch on its own merits._____________Matt has over 100+ lists for movie suggestions on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can reach out on Bluesky:@MovieMattSirois Terrible movies often find him, even under under the alias Marcus at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movie Asylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Follow who we follow at the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Once Upon a Geek⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TheFade Out Podcast⁠⁠⁠s⁠

Feelin all bare bones business today, so let's see.
Movie reviews #64. We review 6 today and they listed in order of their release.
1 (The 5 easy pieces 1970) I loved Catcher in the Rye when I was 17, and I was stuck in a boarding school when I read it first. It was pointed out later when I lived in a rad house full of lesbian activists, that it is pretty darn Male! Well this movie is like that though it's super not as good. Our witty star is a bit of a shit. As we've said many times, they asking questions and having the dialogue but it's 1970 and it's rough. *It keeps gettin listed in 100 best films of the 70's and I would just never put it there, it pushes too many others out of the way.
2 (Man in the Wilderness 1971) PG rated, oh my, I could be wrong but if memory serves this ain't PG. It ain't The Revenant but… Also obviously The Revenant is this movie with more gore and minus the early 70's LSD of it all. I feel that I liked it, but I'm not sure I got it, or that anyone did. Scotty from Star Trek makes an appearance here, but it's hard to see him under all the dirt and hair. John Huston and Richard Harris are here too.
3 (Black Girl 1972) See I didn't even love this, but it is way better and more important than the 5 easy pieces. Again that is the flipping answer to all of this,,,,, 100 best films of 70's, ok but what were you given to see!!!! So many films are still buried or harder to find, and,,,, why do you think that is. I dug this very much and so happy it's out there now (un buried) it is a very important watch, it's just a bit harsh at times. Brock Peters rules as a bit of a shit! Ossie Davis (Da Mayor from Do the Right Thing) directs here and he totally rules, as does Ruby Dee who played Mother sister in Do the Right Thing, ya see Spike Lee knew what he was doing.4 (Man on a Swing 1974) Let me just say that I am a huge Joel Grey fan, and a Huge Elizabeth Wilson fan. You may not know Elizabeth by name but you have seen her rad work in 9 to 5, Quiz Show, Little Murders, Regarding Henry, Day of the Dolphin and many many more. Great Director too that we have been going through the films of, Frank Perry. I personally liked it, but collectively we agreed it's a bit of a miss. Maybe for fans only hmmm. Joel Grey says he's the best psychic and helps the fuzz fight some very icky crimes, question mark.
5 (Which Way is Up 1977) Ok, this one! Which way is up indeed, this for us was both flipping awesome and flipping shitty at times, the film could have used some more time to cook in some ways. I can see brilliance in it, and Pryor's Genius, buuuuuut we also saw some other stuff. It was a WOW what the fuck was all that. For me, could be another one that's just for fans, but also with some warnings I think. We will definitely tell you all about it in the episode.
6 (Meetings with Anna 1978) A director is on her way to a speaking engagement and meets folks along the way. Sadly for us the 2 other films of influential French director Chantal Ackerman have not knocked our flipping socks off like Jeanne Dielman 23. This one here looks way more awesome than it was however maybe with another watch that will increase, and this one is better than the way too arty News from home where Chantel just set a camera up, filmed people walking by in 70's New York and reads letters from her mother. Here she is trying to capture loneliness say many, and maybe she succeeds, I suppose that can make a hard watch. What do you think.
Thank you for listening fam.

How should Democrats campaign on climate? Some are quietly shelving climate-specific language ahead of the midterms in favor of terms like “energy crisis” and “affordability.”  But Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island has been talking about climate change on the Senate floor for more than a decade, and he has no plans to stop now.  “The most important thing that can be accomplished on the climate front is to end the pollute-for-free business model of the fossil fuel industry. It is morally wrong, it is economically wrong, it is an environmental sin, and there's literally no merit to it, which is why the fossil fuel industry has to prop it up with all this dark money and lies,” he says. Plus, geothermal energy is having a moment – getting interest from data center developers and support from the Trump administration at a time when other renewable energy sources are getting the ax. What should we expect from the industry in the next five years?

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said he doesn't really feel like there is an end coming soon to the Joey Porter Jr. story. Ray believes at some point the Steelers will need to put their foot down on the entire situation. It's pretty clear that the players still support Porter in the midst of a contract dispute that is keeping him off the field. Ray backed up what we saw in the clips this week – we will likely see a different pairing on the right side of the Steelers offensive line. Spencer Anderson suffered an injury in the Patriots game, but has been toughing through practice this week. Ray thinks it could get ugly from the crowd on Sunday if the Steelers go 3 & out on offense to start the game. Ray told the guys the backfield situation will be just fine, but Rico Dowdle could miss the game Sunday. Are we jumping on DK Metcalf too early after a rocky start to 2026? Ray was impressed by Germie Bernard in the loss at New England and hopes we see more of him as the season moves on. How scary are the Bengals if Joe Burrow can stay healthy?

KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob reacted to Joey Porter Jr. speaking today and the latest with the situation. Are the Bengals a bad opponent for Porter to make his return against? Bob said the Browns may not be as easy an opponent as we think for Porter, either. The Pirates have won at PNC Park to clinch a .500 or better season, but Bob isn't ready to say it was a good season. Pomp would understand if the Pirates move on from Ben Cherington, but acknowledged that they won't. Bob said 2027 MUST be the year they return to the postseason. Bob said he would offer Brandon Lowe a 3-year, $75M contract, but isn't sure if that's enough. Bob liked what he saw from Oneil Cruz this season and has high hopes going to next season. Bob said Paul Skenes gets a D grade on the season given the absurd expectations coming into the season. Bucco Postgame – The Pirates beat the Cardinals, 2-1, this afternoon at PNC Park. They will be .500 or better since today was their 81st win. They have also clinched 3rd place in the NL Central, but will not make the playoffs. How do we feel about the 2026 Pirates?

Mike and Kenny discuss the latest collabortation between Brad PItt and director David Ayer (Fury), the survival thriller Heart of the Beast. In the film, James Belmont (Pitt) is a retired Special Forces officer who flies into the wild of Alaska with Odin (Uber) his retired German Shepherd partner. After spending two nights fishing and camping they are involed in a plane crash on the way home and must traverse 58 miles of rough terrain, wolves and bears, while overcoming injuries sustained in the crash and along the journey. The film shows the dedication James and Odin have for each other as they work together on their dangerous trek out of the Alaskan wild. Faith Spotted: As one might expect in a film about a difficult and dangerous journey, the film reflects the growth one can achieve in when persevering trials and suffering. In Romans 5 Paul teaches that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Such perseverance also leads to hope when journeying through the wilderness of the struggles faced in life.  In addition, the film depicts the role of a shepherd as told through the 23rd Psalm. Both James and Odin serve as shepherds to the other and are present together as they walk through the hills and valleys of the Alaskan wild which serve as the valley of the shadow of death. Both work to restore each other's souls as they are impacted by PTSD from the trauma experienced in the war in Iraq. Odin specifically leads James as the shepherd led the psalmist. The Psalm speaks of the loyalty and love of the shepherd for the flock, loyalty James and Olin have and that represents the faitfulness and love of God who is also present with us as we journey through dark valleys and green pastures and who restores our soul. Psalm 22 is also reflected in again showing that despite the dangers and enemies one faces, God is present and God turns loss and sure death into everlasting life. Another element reflected in the film is the power and place of purpose. As holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl expeienced and shares in his acclaimed book, Man's Search for Meaning it was the prisoners who found a purpose, not necessarily the strongest or initially healthiest, that were most likley to survive the horrors of the concentration camps. The call to ministry and discipleship offers that purpose that also gives meaning in both the struggles as well of joys of life.  Heart of the Beast is rated PG-13 Thank you WIT PR for the opportunity for Faithspotting to host a pre-screening in the Dallas area. 

Who gave them the authority to decide? In this episode, Kennedy Rizzo and Cooper Lee, take a minute to reflect on the history and nuances of the movie rating system, from the Haze code to PG-13, and how it influences what we watch. This discussion delves into the evolution of film ratings, and their impact on families. Do you remember? Let's caramel dive in!Key Topics: History of the movie rating system from the Haze code to PG-13; the role of the MPAA and the rating board made up of parents; differences between ratings like G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17; the creation of PG-13 in 1984 and is cultural significance; how content is he evaluated and rated, including context and content considerations; the impact of ratings on childhood and family movie experiences.Takeaways: the movie rating system was created to inform parents, not censor content; PG-13 was introduced to fill a gap between PG and our ratings, starting with the movie Red Dawn in 1984; ratings are subjective and can vary based on individual parental judgment; the rating board is composed of parents who evaluate movies based on content and context; understanding the history of ratings helps families make better viewing choices.If you like what we do in the way of caramelicious nostalgia, drop by and show us some support at Buy Me a Coffee dot com… (go to link below), we so appreciate you!

As imagens são da Aviation TV, canal especializado do YouTube que faz transmissões ao vivo da movimentação na pista de aeroportos brasileiros. As cenas do desembarque desmentem nota de abril deste ano, do gabinete de Moraes. À época, o ministro afirmou que “jamais viajou em nenhum avião” de Daniel Vorcaro. Neste domingo, o escritório de Viviane, Barci de Moraes, informou, também em nota, “que contrata serviços de táxi aéreo de diferentes empresas, entre elas a Prime Aviation”. O colunista fala ainda sobre foto encaminhada ao dono do Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro, uma foto em que ele aparece junto com o procurador-geral da República, Paulo Gonet, em uma degustação de charutos em Londres. O registro foi enviado no dia 19 de junho de 2025. “PG mandou agora”, disse Soares, que intermediava as conversas entre Gonet e o banqueiro, em mensagem logo em seguida.

As the 2026 midterms approach, voters are contending with concerns around affordability, the AI boom, and climate disruption in their daily lives. AI data centers have become the wild card in energy politics, driving up energy demand and utility bills, and playing a large role in a battleground House primary. A year after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act rolled back key parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, many climate advocates assumed the energy transition was stalled out, but new research suggests otherwise.  How will climate and energy shape the ballot box this year? And what's it like to campaign on those issues in a swing state?

AUDI A4 E-TRON PRODUCTION NOT EXPECTED BEFORE MARCH 2029Audi's A4 e-tron is reportedly not expected to enter production before March 2029, and potentially not until late April or early May, despite Audi previously targeting a 2028 market launch. The delay is blamed on technical problems, internal coordination and cost pressures surrounding Volkswagen Group's SSP architecture, potentially making the A4 e-tron its first full-production model around three years later than Volkswagen originally planned.MERCEDES-BENZ STARTS ELECTRIC GLA PRODUCTION AT RASTATTMercedes-Benz has begun series production of the all-electric GLA at Rastatt, with first customer deliveries expected in November following the replacement of the EQA name with GLA for the new battery-electric model. Built on the MMA platform, the range starts at €48,599.60 in Germany, offers up to 657 km WLTP range in GLA 250+ form and supports DC charging at up to 320 kW on the 250+ and 350 4MATIC variants.EU ASKS CHINA FOR VOLUNTARY HYBRID EXPORT CURBSThe EU has reportedly asked China to voluntarily limit China-made PHEV exports to around 15% of the relevant EU market, down from more than a third, as Brussels seeks to prevent a broader trade conflict ahead of October talks in Beijing. China-made hybrids generally face only the EU's standard 10% tariff, unlike BEVs subject to additional countervailing duties, and monthly hybrid imports have risen from 3,800 vehicles in October 2024 to 50,000 in July 2026.UL SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES V2G CERTIFICATION PROGRAMMEUL Solutions has launched a certification programme for bidirectional EV supply equipment, testing products against UL 1741 Supplement SC to help ensure V2G equipment meets utility interconnection requirements. The move comes as V2X and V2G activity expands through programmes including PG&E's California initiative, a Massachusetts pilot and Kaluza and Hyundai Motor Group's UK and Australian smart-charging partnership targeting groundwork for V2G services from 2027.MAN ETGX 6×2 REACHES 616 KWH NET WITH SEVEN PACKSMAN has unveiled a seven-battery eTGX 6×2-4 with 616 kWh of usable capacity, claiming up to 720 km of range and more than 600 km as realistically achievable in everyday long-haul operation. The revised truck has a 120 mm longer and more aerodynamic front end, up to 20% greater recuperation power and an optional series-production MCS port supporting charging at up to 750 kW, compared with 375 kW through CCS.PORSCHE, CYLIB MAKE 100 PER CENT RECYCLED CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIALSPorsche and battery recycler cylib have produced trial battery cells using cathode active material made entirely from recycled lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese recovered from Porsche high-voltage batteries. The project has progressed from shredding batteries into black mass through refining the recovered materials to producing test cells, although these remain under evaluation rather than being ready for series production.MG U9 EV COSTS AUD$78,990 PLUS ON-ROAD COSTSMG has priced its U9 EV dual-cab ute in Australia at AUD$78,990 plus on-road costs, offering a 102.2 kWh LFP battery, 430 km WLTP range, 325 kW dual-motor all-wheel drive and 3,500 kg braked towing capacity. The lifestyle-focused electric ute also includes air suspension, a 236-litre front boot, 685 kg payload, a pallet-sized rear tub and up to 6.6 kW vehicle-to-load capability, contrasting with Toyota's more fleet-focused HiLux BEV.FLYING FLEA C6 BOOKINGS OPEN IN EUROPE AND UKRoyal Enfield's Flying Flea C6 electric motorcycle has opened for bookings at €5,990 in Europe and £5,300 in the UK, with deliveries due to begin by October 2026 in cities including Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Berlin and London. The 124 kg motorcycle combines a 3.91 kWh battery, 15.4 kW maximum motor output, 115 km/h top speed and 104 km WMTC range with premium hardware including a forged aluminium frame, magnesium battery case, girder-linkage suspension, lean-sensitive ABS and traction control.WINDROSE RELEASES E700 PART CAD FILESWindrose has released 1,023 native CAD files covering what founder Wen Han says is 98.4% of its E700 Class 8 electric truck, allowing owners and independent workshops to inspect, repair, reproduce parts for and modify vehicles without fees or permission. The initiative is intended to reduce long-term parts-supply risk for fleets, although building complete trucks still requires an agreement with Windrose and unauthorised repairs, parts or modifications can affect warranty coverage.

RCC | The Galatian Files - part 6 | PG | 9.13.26 by Remnant Christian Center

The NBA season is almost here, and Jim and Mike are officially done with the offseason nonsense. We start with the Celtics taking a flier on former lottery pick Devin Carter and what his addition says about Boston's offseason philosophy: create extra possessions, attack the glass, force turnovers and give Jayson Tatum more chances to win basketball games. Then things go off the rails. We get into the fallout from the Kawhi Leonard/Steve Ballmer mess, why watching a billionaire actually face consequences is strangely satisfying, Robert Kraft's selective approach to free speech, and a much bigger question hanging over the NBA: Are billionaire owners and private equity starting to become a problem for the league itself? Plus: Paul George's importance to the Celtics, what we actually want to see when basketball finally starts, and an early over/under on how many games PG actually plays. Basketball is almost back.

This week, we return to the films of Steven Spielberg. We are skipping 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie, which Spielberg only partially directed, although we do discuss it here. The main subject of this episode though, is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Spielberg's first sequel and a film that directly inspired the creation of the PG-13 rating.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety. If you haven't seen this classic, we strongly suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A Lucasfilm production, released by Paramount Pictures on May 23, 1984. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Screenplay by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, based on a story by George Lucas. Starring Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Jonathan Ke Quan, Amrish Puri, and Roshan Seth. Cinematography by Douglas Slocombe. Edited by Michael Kahn. Music by John Williams.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray confirmed that Joey Porter Jr. did leave practice with a trainer today, coincidentally at the exact time the media was allowed to view practice. Ray said it's very tricky with a back injury for the team to call out the player for not being genuine. He said the Steelers may ‘have to make a call here' soon regarding the entire situation. Ray said it's been very difficult to get a clear answer from anyone on just about anything regarding the Porter situation. Ray gave us the latest on Troy Fautanu and Michael Pittman, who missed practice yesterday. Ray said the WR position will be right back to square one if Pittman can't go this weekend. Will we see Max Iheanachor make his first start on Sunday? What are the trade prospects for Porter looking like? Ray said the players have not turned on Porter and doesn't believe they are very close to that, after a few players backed Porter as recently as today.

Andrew Hall, CEO of Consano Bio, is developing an allogeneic approach to treat chronic sciatica by activating healing in damaged spinal nerves, emulating the natural healing properties of human platelets.  This condition currently has no approved treatments and is managed through symptomatic approaches like opioids, muscle relaxers, or surgery. Consano Bio's lead candidate represents the first potential disease-modifying therapy for pain management and can be manufactured at scale to treat the estimated 10 million Americans affected by this condition. Andrew explains, "We are developing a potentially disease-modifying treatment that would be given locally for orthopedic painful conditions. The concept is that human platelets are wonderful at eliciting healing in a normal physiological setting. Why can't we create a biologic product that, when given locally, emulates that same functionality where the imbalance has gone bad?"   "I'd call this version one of the first generation of platelet- and plasma-derived biologic therapy. So it runs in the same path. It goes to the same regulators, but it's not so much an evolution as it is a parallel path."   "So chronic sciatica, or when you get fancy with medical terminology, chronic lumbosacral radiculopathy, is basically, and we'll try to keep this PG. I'm a bit Australian and tend to get a little fruity with my language. When you do something silly- wake up, twist, lift the weight badly, bend over- you can pretty easily piss off your spinal nerves, which are the small nerves that come out of your spine and then innervate your extremities."  #ConsanoBIo #Sciatica #BackPain #ChronicPaint #PainTreatment #NonOpioids #LumbosacralRadiculopathy #LSR  #ChronicPain #Biotech #ClinicalTrials #PainManagement #Orthobiologics #DrugDevelopment #HealthcareInnovation #Neurology #MedicalResearch consanobio.com Download the transcript here

We learned a lot from movies in the 80's. We learned that PG was a suggestion and less a guideline, we learned that the movies aimed at kids were less entertainment and more lessons in early trauma management and above all else, we learned that copping ain't easy. Maybe even more so at the federal level, but we'll see if it's easy or not to see if Feds is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Deadpool is back—and this time, he's bringing a team.In this episode of Moving Panels, Laramy Wells and Justin Baker dive into Deadpool 2, the sequel that somehow manages to be bigger, louder, bloodier, and even more self-aware than the first. We'll look at the movie's comic book roots, the characters it brings to the big screen, the changes made along the way, and whether all those jokes and fourth-wall breaks still work.We'll also talk about Once Upon a Deadpool, the movie's very different PG-13 reworking, and decide whether Deadpool 2 belongs in the bag, on the stack, or up for trade.So grab your chimichanga and get ready to break the fourth wall all over again.

https://liturgiadelashoras.github.io/sync/2026/sep/14/1/visperas.htmSEGUNDA LECTURA DEL OFICIO DE LECTURASDe las Disertaciones de san Andrés de Creta, obispo(Disertación 10, Sobre la Exaltación de la santa cruz: PG 97, 1018-1019. 1022-1023) LA CRUZ ES LA GLORIA Y EXALTACIÓN DE CRISTOPor la cruz, cuya fiesta celebramos, fueron expulsadas las tinieblas y devuelta la luz. Celebramos hoy la fiesta de la cruz, y junto con el Crucificado nos elevamos hacia lo alto, para, dejando abajo la tierra y el pecado, gozar de los bienes celestiales; tal y tan grande es la posesión de la cruz. Quien posee la cruz posee un tesoro. Y, al decir un tesoro, quiero significar con esta expresión a aquel que es, de nombre y de hecho, el más excelente de todos los bienes, en el cual, por el cual y para el cual culmina nuestra salvación y se nos restituye a nuestro estado de justicia original. Porque, sin la cruz, Cristo no hubiera sido crucificado. Sin la cruz, aquel que es la vida no hubiera sido clavado en el leño. Si no hubiese sido clavado, las fuentes de la inmortalidad no hubiesen manado de su costado la sangre y el agua que purifican el mundo, no hubiese sido rasgado el documento en que constaba la deuda contraída por nuestros pecados, no hubiéramos sido declarados libres, no disfrutaríamos del árbol de la vida, el paraíso continuaría cerrado. Sin la cruz, no hubiera sido derrotada la muerte, ni despojado el lugar de los muertos.Por esto la cruz es cosa grande y preciosa. Grande, porque ella es el origen de innumerables bienes, tanto más numerosos, cuanto que los milagros y sufrimientos de Cristo juegan un papel decisivo en su obra de salvación. Preciosa, porque la cruz significa a la vez el sufrimiento y el trofeo del mismo Dios: el sufrimiento, porque en ella sufrió una muerte voluntaria; el trofeo, porque en ella quedó herido de muerte el demonio y, con él, fue vencida la muerte. En la cruz fueron demolidas las puertas de la región de los muertos, y la cruz se convirtió en salvación universal para todo el mundo. La cruz es llamada también gloria y exaltación de Cristo. Ella es el cáliz rebosante de que nos habla el salmo, y la culminación de todos los tormentos que padeció Cristo por nosotros. El mismo Cristo nos enseña que la cruz es su gloria, cuando dice: Ya ha entrado el Hijo del hombre en su gloria, y Dios ha recibido su glorificación por él, y Dios a su vez lo revestirá de su misma gloria. Y también: Glorifícame tú, Padre, con la gloria que tenía junto a ti antes que el mundo existiese. Y asimismo dice: «Padre, glorifica tu nombre.» Y, de improviso, se dejaron oír del cielo estas palabras: «Lo he glorificado y lo glorificaré de nuevo», palabras que se referían a la gloria que había de conseguir en la cruz. También nos enseña Cristo que la cruz es su exaltación, cuando dice: Yo, cuando sea levantado en alto, atraeré a mí a todos los hombres. Está claro, pues, que la cruz es la gloria y exaltación de Cristo.

Growing power demands – coupled with increasingly frequent climate-driven disasters – have led even staunch environmentalists like NRDC head Manish Bapna to rethink their past opposition to nuclear power.  Three Mile Island didn't kill anyone or cause major public harm, but it fundamentally changed U.S. nuclear policy for 40 years. Why did an accident with a relatively contained consequence have such a chilling effect – and what's really different today? With dozens of new, purportedly safer designs at various stages of development and construction around the world, is it time for all of us to give nuclear energy a fresh look?
