This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Lee Powers. The two talk about Lee Powers' extraordinary journey from a critical care patient to a wellness entrepreneur, the power of personalized medicine through tools like DNA cheek swabs, and the importance of advocacy and a whole-person approach to navigating today's complex healthcare landscape. In this episode, we discuss: How Lee Powers transformed a traumatic personal experience as a patient into a unique business model focused on personalized medicine and patient advocacy. What it means to approach healthcare using both clinical expertise and human compassion, and why that combination is crucial for better outcomes. When Lee realized the traditional healthcare system often fails to treat patients as unique individuals, she set out to fill that gap herself. Why a simple cheek swab to analyze your DNA can make a dramatic difference in how medications affect you, based on your unique genetic makeup. Who benefits from a health advocate? Anyone navigating a complicated health challenge or supporting a loved one in the medical system should consider working with someone who understands both the human and clinical sides. What actions the average person can take to advocate for themselves in today's healthcare environment, including the importance of having an advocate present during medical decisions. Lee Powers is a nurse, health advocate, and speaker dedicated to helping individuals improve their health, build resilience, and thrive through personalized wellness strategies. Combining clinical expertise with a compassionate, whole-person approach, she empowers people to take an active role in their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With a background in critical care nursing and advanced healthcare training, Lee brings a practical and relatable perspective to modern wellness. Her mission is to help individuals create sustainable habits, strengthen resilience, and embrace personalized approaches to health that support long-term vitality, performance, and quality of life.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan who enjoy teaching astronomy classes and showing the public views through their telescopes. actualastronomy@gmail.com This month we talk about the full range of telescopic magnification powers from Low, Medium to High and how to achieve them using exit pupil. Topics include using exit pupil as a guide to power and how to successfully use high powers. To recap Exit Pupils and Eyepieces: We have High, Medium and Low powers, - Low Power is in the Exit Pupil Range 2-4mm, so on my 180mm f6 that's 12-24mm eyepieces giving 45x-90x - Medium Power is around 1.5mm Exit pupils, so a 9mm for my scope for 120x - High equates to about a 0.5mm Exit pupil which for an F6 scope that would be a 3mm which on my 180mm would give 360x In addition to these we have RFT or very low power for me I use my 40mm and 32mm for 27-35x and Ultra-high which is anything above 0.5mm. Careful in going to low as beyond 6-7mm exit pupils the pupil will cut into the light path. The most favored eyepiece exit pupils are those in the 1.5-3mm range for galaxies, globular clusters. This is where the eye performs best under low light conditions and these magnifications help reduce the sky brightness without reducing the object brightness to the same extent,,,thus making such objects more visible. This is why I use my 17mm, 12.5, 12, 10mm's the most when making observations of these targets. For low power wide field nothing beats the 40mm XW which gives me a 2.5TFOV and 27x and I use my 5mm XW lots on the planets and Moon. Shane do you have any high power eyepieces? What is the highest power you've successfully used? What are some of the challenges with using high powers? My introduction to using high power came by accident. I wanted to buy all the Pentax XW's, while designed for spotting scopes, they work perfectly with eyeglasses and each year Pentax would put some on sale. The 20mm is arguable the dog of the lot, the 14mm is a bit better but the rest are of the highest quality so I ended up with these first but soon a after the 3.5mm went on sale and I thought…well…I'd eventually get it anyway so even if I didn't use it that much it'd be nice to have. Oddly I ended up using it all the time and it is one of my most used eyepieces and not only that but it barlows very well with my 1.6x Nikon creating a 2mm eyepiece. Eventually I acquired the 5mm, 7mm and 10mm and use my 2x and 3x barlows on them. Typically you don't want to exceed the 0.5mm exit pupil size as on planets floaters and other eye issues challenge the observer. So why would I go above this threshold? So wind the clock back to the Nova East Star party in 2003, Mars was at it's closest point to earth in 60,000 years and Tony Jones showed up late at night with his 5-inch Astrophysics APO refractor. We ended up barlowing a 4.8mm Nagler 2x for 430x. The details were amazing. Roy Bishop, who has authored that section on Exit Pupils and Eyepieces for the OH was there, he explained that while no additional detail could be seen past about 300x making the image this large made the details that could be seen larger. I've always enjoyed running high power on Mars and the 3.5mm on my 60mm Tak gives splendid views of Venus in the 100x range. With the 180mm f6 my 3.5mm gives 308x and on steady nights I have used up to 500x. After experimenting I determined the optimal magnification limit is about 430x and that coincides with the actual theoretical limits discussed in many texts and online posts. I found that the Pentax 70-degree AFOV was a bit restrictive and wanted to use my 84-degree Docter. I ran across the SkyWatcher Nomad 5x Telecentric Barlow, Telecentrics don't move the exit pupil around and I have found sometimes SkyWatcher has a few hidden gems…it was only about $100EU and not available in NA so I thought I'd give it shot. It works perfectly, I get 432x and the field of view is excellent! We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

Now, as leaders gather for the G7 summit in France, questions remain about whether Carney can translate that vision into real influence. Also, a US airstrike on a compound in Venezuela that killed the leader of the Tren de Aragua gang last week could open the door to the country's mineral wealth. And, Greenland's melting glaciers are contributing to rising sea levels.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Whitney Knox Lee. Explains practical estate‑planning strategies—wills, trusts, powers of attorney—and how entrepreneurs, families, and especially parents of disabled children can protect assets, avoid costly probate, and maintain eligibility for critical benefits. The conversation also touches on integrating insurance with estate planning, small‑business contingency planning, and Lee’s personal mission and background in civil rights work. Purpose of the Interview Educate listeners on estate planning as a wealth‑preservation strategy (not just documents)—to reduce court costs, taxes, and confusion for families. Clarify the differences and roles of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, including when each is appropriate and how they work together.] Highlight special considerations for entrepreneurs and families with disabled children or aging relatives, including insurance, operating agreements, and special‑needs planning. Share Lee’s values and practice approach, including culturally responsive service and sustainable advocacy rooted in prior civil‑rights work. Key Takeaways 1) Wills vs. Trusts vs. Powers of Attorney A will is not the plan—it’s just one piece and still goes through probate, which can be slow and expensive; think of a will as a “letter to the judge.] Revocable living trusts can help families bypass probate, reduce delays, and retain more control over how assets are managed after death. Powers of attorney (financial and health) are essential for incapacity scenarios; even 18‑year‑olds heading to college should have them so parents can access information if needed. 2) Why Insurance Belongs in the Plan Life insurance can protect the family’s ability to keep the home by paying off a remaining mortgage or covering living expenses—turning an asset into a sustainable legacy rather than a burden. For entrepreneurs, key‑person insurance can replace income when the owner can’t work, keeping the business afloat. 3) Minimizing Probate Costs and Taxes Probate involves court filings and legal fees; in some states fees scale with estate size (example discussed: percentage‑based fees in other jurisdictions), which can significantly erode wealth passed to heirs. Proper planning reduces those leakages. 4) Special‑Needs and Elder Planning Parents of children on need‑based benefits (e.g., Medicaid) must avoid transfers that jeopardize eligibility; the right trust structures preserve benefits while providing support. Elder law planning anticipates long‑term care costs (nursing home, assisted living, in‑home care) so families don’t have to deplete assets later. 5) Business Continuity for Owners Establish operating agreements and buy‑sell agreements that spell out who runs the business if the principal is incapacitated; pair with business powers of attorney. 6) Values, Audience, and Access Lee intentionally centers Black and Brown women and their families, grounding services in community uplift and transparent referrals to trusted financial pros (no paid referral arrangements). Contact approach: 15‑minute intake, then a four‑meeting process (legacy planning → design → review → signing).

Welcome to Day 2881 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – The Bible as a Polemic: Confronting the Powers that Rebelled Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2881 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2881 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled: The Bible as a Polemic: Confronting the Powers that Rebelled To modern readers shaped by pluralism and academic detachment, the confrontational tone of the Bible may seem abrasive. But this response overlooks what the Bible truly is. It is not a disinterested theological reflection. It is a weapon. It is a series of books forged in the heart of a spiritual and historical rebellion. Its message was not formed in a vacuum but in the aftermath of Babel and the divine treason of the bene elohim who had been placed over the nations. Understanding the polemical nature of the Bible begins by understanding the world it was written to confront. The first segment is: What Is a Polemic? And Why the ANE Was Full of Them A polemic is a targeted argument or critique meant to expose, undermine, or discredit a rival idea, practice, or system. Unlike a simple disagreement or neutral description, a polemic is written to confront. It deliberately challenges an existing claim and seeks to replace it. In the ancient world, polemics were often theological, political, and cultural all at once. The gods, kings, and cities of rival nations were not treated as irrelevant. They were treated as threats that had to be addressed. In the context of the Ancient Near East, polemics were deeply embedded in the stories nations told about themselves. Every origin story, temple hymn, or divine genealogy was not just a description of how things came to be. It was a claim of legitimacy. To say your god created the world or defeated the sea monster or chose your king was to declare supremacy over other peoples and their gods. It was to say, “Our story is the true one. Yours is a counterfeit.” For example, when Babylon claimed that Marduk created the world by killing the goddess Tiamat, it was not just promoting cosmology. It was justifying Babylon's imperial authority as the city of the supreme god. When Egypt said that Ma'at held the universe together through the Pharaoh's divine rulership, it was declaring that Egyptian order was the divine ideal, and everyone else lived in chaos. In such a world, writing something like Genesis 1 was not a quiet religious reflection. It was a direct challenge to every claim made by Egypt, Babylon, and Canaan. It was a polemic. And in the Bible, this polemical instinct is not occasional. It is foundational. Israel's Scriptures were not meant to fit within the theological frameworks of other nations. They were meant to shatter them. The second segment is: Babel and the Reordering of the World Genesis 11 describes a human rebellion that goes far deeper than building a tower. At Babel, humanity attempted to unify under its own authority and defy Yahweh's mandate to fill the earth. But the judgment that followed did more than scatter languages. According to Deuteronomy 32, verses eight and nine, when Yahweh divided the nations, He appointed the bene elohim, divine sons of God, to oversee them. Only Israel would remain His direct possession. The nations were not abandoned without guidance. But over time, the spiritual beings given authority over them failed in their stewardship. They began to crave worship and corrupted the justice they were meant to uphold. Psalm 82 records Yahweh standing in judgment over these divine rulers, declaring that they would fall like mortals. This cosmic judgment sets the stage for the mission of Israel and the tone of Scripture itself. The third segment is: Israel: The Counter-Nation Unlike the nations that inherited rebellious rulers, Israel was created from scratch. Yahweh did not reform an existing people. He called Abram from among the disinherited nations and made a new people who would be His portion. Israel was not simply chosen for privilege but created for purpose. As stated in Exodus 19 verse six, they were to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. This priestly identity means Israel's role was inherently polemical. Their laws, festivals, temples, and scriptures were not private religious expressions. They were public declarations that the gods of the nations were false, the powers behind them were corrupt, and that Yahweh alone was Most High over all the earth. The Bible, as the written witness of Israel's calling, reflects this purpose. The Fourth Segment is: Polemics in the Biblical Texts The polemical nature of the Bible is woven deeply into its stories, laws, songs, and prophecies. These are not culturally isolated documents. They are intentional confrontations with the dominant worldviews shaped by the fallen gods of the nations. The Fifth segment is: Creation and the Flood Genesis one is not merely an account of beginnings. It is a direct response to Mesopotamian creation myths such as Enuma Elish, which portray creation as the result of divine violence and chaos. In contrast, the biblical God creates through speech, with order and intention. There is no struggle, no divine bloodshed, no pantheon. It is a declaration that the gods of Babylon are not creators but pretenders. Likewise, the flood account in Genesis six through nine subverts the flood stories of the surrounding cultures. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods send the flood in terror and regret it. In the Bible, the flood is just, purposeful, and moral. It is a surgical judgment on a world corrupted by human violence and divine rebellion, not the panicked act of unstable deities. The sixth segment is: Conquest and the Defeat of the Gods When Israel enters the land of Canaan, the conquest is not simply a political campaign. It is a cosmic battle against the corrupted spiritual rulers of the land. The defeat of Pharaoh in Egypt is explicitly described as Yahweh executing judgment on the gods of Egypt. The plagues are not random punishments but targeted humiliations of Egypt's divine protectors. Jericho's fall, the silencing of Baal on Mount Carmel, the defeat of Dagon before the Ark in 1 Samuel 5, and the crushing of Leviathan imagery in the Psalms all follow the same pattern. The text is not just reporting history. It is declaring war on the false gods and the unseen rulers who manipulated the nations into darkness. The seventh Segment is: Psalms and Prophets as Weapons The Psalms, often viewed only as worship poetry, are filled with divine council imagery and subversion of Canaanite theology. Psalm 29, for instance, uses storm language that sounds like a Baal hymn but places Yahweh as the one who rides the storm and subdues the waters. In Ugaritic myth, Baal defeats Yam to earn his throne. In the Bible, Yahweh sits enthroned above the flood before it ever lifts its head. The prophets likewise deliver blistering critiques of the nations and their gods. Isaiah 19 declares judgment not just on Egypt but on its idols, priests, and necromancers. Ezekiel 28 mocks the divine claims of the Prince of Tyre, unmasking him as a fallen being in Eden. These are not veiled jabs. They are open condemnations of spiritual rebellion embedded in political empires. The Eighth segment is: The New Testament: The War Reaches Its Climax By the time of Christ, the powers of the nations had not been dethroned. The world remained under their sway. Jesus refers to Satan as the ruler of this world and frames His ministry as a battle to bind the strong man and plunder his house. Every healing, exorcism, and storm-calming miracle is a polemic in action. Jesus is not just showing compassion. He is confronting the gods. The cross itself is the ultimate polemic. It appears to be a defeat but is actually a triumph. As Paul writes in Colossians 2:15, Christ disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame. This is courtroom and battlefield language. The spiritual powers that once ruled unchallenged were publicly exposed as weak, condemned, and temporary. The apostles carry this mission forward. Paul sees the preaching of the gospel as a cosmic declaration to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. The church is not merely a new religious community. It is the living proof that

In 1967, groovy British secret agent Austin Powers thwarts his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil, who escapes by cryogenically freezing himself in space. To ensure he can stop Evil's eventual return, Austin undergoes cryostasis too. Revived in 1997, Powers must adapt to the modern world and stop a resurrected Dr. Evil from holding the world hostage.
Many mysteries accompany the revelations that Powers of Darkness, the Icelandic and Swedish versions of Dracula, are not direct translations of Bram Stoker's original, but stories that significantly differ in character names, plot and runtime. Like: did Bram Stoker write it himself, to publish some raunchy content that British censors would forbid? Was Powers of Darkness based on his early drafts? And did he really not copyright Dracula in the USA was that a deliberate ruse? Welllll... brace yourself for ole thrill-destroyer Zaltzman to pop your balloons of excitement. Searching for the truth among all the rumours and texts are producer Iris Ishichita of the Powers of Darkness podcast, and Will Trimble and Hans Corneel de Roos, who orchestrated English translations of respectively the Swedish and Icelandic Powers of Darknesses. This is the third episode of the Draculae miniseries. Before listening to it, check out the first and second episodes explaining the three versions of Dracula and why we are talking about them.

All things were created through Him and for Him. Above all creation, this includes the powers and principalities of this world. Christians proclaim a God who is above all governors, governments, nations, rulers, and even angelic beings. This is a deeply subversive message—and a dangerous one. Throughout history, earthly powers have demanded ultimate allegiance, loyalty, and recognition. The early Christians refused. Empires attempted to silence this message through force, persecution, and their ultimate threat: death itself. Yet Christ overcame death, exposing the weakness and fraudulent claims of every power that seeks to rival His authority. So how do we balance honoring the authorities Christ has established to govern the world without diminishing our allegiance and obedience to the exalted Christ? What are powers and principalities? Why are they so important to understanding the biblical story? And what does any of this have to do with how Christians relate to governments today?
