When I had three kids, four and under, I learned about Charlotte Mason and her principle of spreading a wide feast of ideas. Practically, this looks like 20 different subjects in a Charlotte Mason classroom that get covered during the week.  Before we were in the formal school years, I got into the habit of discovering where all the different sections of books were at the library so I could just walk the shelves and grab some that covered a wide range of ideas without any preplanning. For years, we have had this system in place that has provided an educational cushion through all the ups and downs in our lives and given our kids a lot of learning in a very natural way. For years, we have had this system in place that has provided an educational cushion through all the ups and downs in our lives and given our kids a lot of learning in a very natural way. I also supplement by putting books on hold at the library that deep-dive into what my kids want to learn more about so that I'm not hunting for specific books once we get there. In this week's episode, I'm sharing practical tips for not losing the library books and keeping free books free, bringing some great books into your home, and some of our recent favorites. How we avoid fines and the library to keep our books free: We moved all our personal books upstairs to a home library and have a separate bookshelf downstairs for the library books to create separation. We have ONE library card, so we don't lose track of the books we have checked out, what's on hold, and what we have to return. We try to get to the library on the same day every week so that we don't have many different due dates to keep track of. I try and go to our library account after we get home from the library to renew any books that we might have missed returning. We have a library book bag that holds between 20-30 books, which creates some margin.

Have you ever wondered about how God wired men and women differently and what that means to live as husband and wife practically? Understanding the fundamental differences between men and women can profoundly impact the dynamics of marriage. Men's brains operate by compartmentalizing thoughts into neat boxes, while in women's brains, everything is interconnected by emotion. Practically, this means husbands and wives must navigate communication and understanding with grace and patience. Husbands, recognizing their tendency to retreat when stressed, should actively engage in listening and empathizing with their wives, understanding their need to connect emotionally. Meanwhile, wives should understand that their husbands may need time alone to decompress. When it comes to sex, spouses need to understand each other's needs and motivations. For men, sex serves as a way to express love and care for their wives, while for women, emotional connection often precedes physical intimacy. By acknowledging and respecting these differences, couples can cultivate a healthier and more fulfilling sexual relationship within the covenant of marriage. Ultimately, living as husband and wife means embracing our unique wiring, understanding each other's strengths and weaknesses, and committing to love and serve one another sacrificially, just as Christ loves the Church. Marriage is not just a contract but a covenant, requiring continual effort, grace, and reliance on God's love to navigate the complexities of life together. Watch Pastor Lucas's message to hear how to have a strong marriage, despite men and women being wired differently. #RealityOfMarriage #StrongMarriage #LiquidChurch

Saar Wilf is an ex-Israeli entrepreneur. Since 2016, he's been developing a new form of reasoning, meant to transcend normal human bias. His method - called Rootclaim - uses Bayesian reasoning, a branch of math that explains the right way to weigh evidence. This isn't exactly new. Everyone supports Bayesian reasoning. The statisticians support it, I support it, Nate Silver wrote a whole book supporting it. But the joke goes that you do Bayesian reasoning by doing normal reasoning while muttering “Bayes, Bayes, Bayes” under your breath. Nobody - not the statisticians, not Nate Silver, certainly not me - tries to do full Bayesian reasoning on fuzzy real-world problems. They'd be too hard to model. You'd make some philosophical mistake converting the situation into numbers, then end up much worse off than if you'd tried normal human intuition. Rootclaim spent years working on this problem, until he was satisfied his method could avoid these kinds of pitfalls. Then they started posting analyses of different open problems to their site, rootclaim.com. Here are three:

Episode Summary: In a world bent on touting certain diets and restrictive eating, our guest, Amy Connell, desires we learn about our core strength. After releasing her book Your Worthy Body, written for women over 40, she had moms approach her saying “I need something like this for my daughters!”  Her hope is to be a conduit between mom and daughter to help them both foster a healthy relationship with food, exercise and their body so they can grow in their relationship with each other. She does this through her new book Your Core Strength: A Christ-Centered, Diet-Culture-Free book for young women. Today we are going to be talking about How Your CORE Strength can bring freedom and empowerment in your health. Quotables from the episode: 91% of women report being unhappy with their bodies. Our C.O.R.E. strength refers to our calling, our originality and uniqueness, our relationships with others and with God, and everything that contributes to our holistic well-being in our health journey. Practically speaking, prioritize sleep. We can optimize and manage our overall mental and physical health when we have rested our brain and body. If you have children, model this for them. Spiritually speaking, I cling to 2 Corinthians 10:5: We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. If what I'm thinking isn't of God, then I follow the guidelines I offer in the book. Spot it, Lock it, Speak it. I have to notice the enemy's lies, lock them away and then speak God's truth.   Scripture References: Romans 12:2 NIV Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.  Genesis 1:29 NIV I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.  Genesis 9:3 NIV Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.   Recommended Resources:  Free download of the Introduction and Chapter 1 to Your CORE Strength as well as a 5-minute “Wake Up and Warm Up” video Your CORE Strength: A Young Woman's Guide to Eating, Exercise and Empowered Health by Amy Connell Your Worthy Body by Amy Connell Sacred Scars: Resting in God's Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson  The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out to God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms   Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the Christian Literary Awards Reader's Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

People think confidence isn't arrogance but to avoid even appearing arrogant we don't move with confidence, this is one of many misconceptions we aim to challenge and correct in this weeks episode. Along with psychological theory and biblical insight, we're starting this series so we can live with confidence and step into the purpose God has called us into. Check it out!

In this episode, we delve into Surah al-Noor (24), verse 36, exploring the metaphorical imagery of certain houses as beacons of spiritual enlightenment. These houses, where Allah's name is revered, symbolize sanctuaries of Divine remembrance. The verse follows the famous 'verse of Light,' highlighting Allah's guidance through metaphorical language. While not explicitly mentioned, this verse alludes to the guidance of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and his progeny. These houses, mentioned in the Quran, are where Allah's light shines brightly, protected from impurity. Imam Ali's household represents the sanctity and enlightenment described in the Quran, serving as a hub of spiritual nourishment. His home is a metaphorical representation of the illuminated abodes mentioned in the Quran, embodying Divine presence, piety, and remembrance. The hadith further clarifies the significance of Imam Ali's house as a source of guidance. According to the narration, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) confirmed that Imam Ali's house is among the best of houses, where Allah's name is mentioned and exalted. Practically, this highlights the importance of recognizing the superiority of certain individuals and places in Islam. While mosques and Islamic centers serve as conduits for Divine guidance, Imam Ali's household represents the true source of spiritual enlightenment. Reflecting on Imam Ali's virtues during Ramadan serves as a form of worship, guiding us to emulate his qualities. This underscores the profound spiritual connections in Islam and emphasizes the intertwined nature of Divine guidance, human exemplars, and places of worship. As we seek Divine guidance and spiritual enlightenment, may we remain mindful of figures like Imam Ali, whose virtues illuminate our paths and inspire us to draw closer to Allah. Through remembrance and emulation, may we embody noble qualities that lead us toward spiritual fulfillment and closeness to the Divine.

Opener: The final winners for Mark Madness! Castles of Burgundy and  eryn roston @baditude Closer: A specific call for feedback to the podcast. Tell me what you like me to do more of, or do less. Session Report & Feedback episodes, like the old days? All About shows (more old days)? Something else? Over the years I've been to many game conventions, both big & small. However, it wasn't until this past month that I attended a Dice Tower event. The Dice Tower West annual game convention is held in the west, in Las Vegas, which means it's a pretty easy drive for me - four hours across the southwest. Though I'm not really a Vegas kind of guy, this is still a big geek convention of boardgamers, right? Right. In that, it felt very familiar to the multiple times I've visited BGGcon in Dallas...just in a different city, hosted by a different organization. I knew some of my buddies had attended in prior years, and many months I started asking them if they'd attend in 2024. I think most of us were on the fence, but hearing other friends may attend helped collectively push most of us into signing up. A couple had to back out due to unexpected life commitments, but enough of my gang went that we were able to fill game tables the whole time. In this episode, I talk about ALL of the games I played during this Wednesday-Sunday major event. Half of that discussion is about old games, or OG games, or whatever you want to call them. How old? We decided the cutoff should be a quarter-century. Focusing one of our convention days on titles at least 25 years old meant we had a full Friday of pre-2000 games. Games from the last century...the last millennium! Practically speaking, we played games from the 1990s, which is when many of our group got into modern boardgaming, including yours truly. If you appreciate retro gaming like we do, you'll love the first half of the episode. If not, skip ahead to the interlude music break near the 55-minute mark, and then I transition into some newer titles. That represented the other half of what I played at the convention. Including lots of card games, which are having their moment in the sun right now. Wonderful! (Even though I didn't love all of the card games I played, as you'll hear, I love that we're playing so many of them again.) -Mark

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [Linkpost] Practically-A-Book Review: Rootclaim $100,000 Lab Leak Debate, published by trevor on March 28, 2024 on LessWrong. Lots of people already know about Scott Alexander/ACX/SSC, but I think that crossposting to LW is unusually valuable in this particular case, since lots of people were waiting for a big schelling-point overview of the 15-hour Rootclaim Lab Leak debate, and unlike LW, ACX's comment section is a massive vote-less swamp that lags the entire page and gives everyone equal status. It remains unclear whether commenting there is worth your time if you think you have something worth saying, since there's no sorting, only sifting, implying that it attracts small numbers of sifters instead of large numbers of people who expect sorting. Here are the first 11 paragraphs: Saar Wilf is an ex-Israeli entrepreneur. Since 2016, he's been developing a new form of reasoning, meant to transcend normal human bias. His method - called Rootclaim - uses Bayesian reasoning, a branch of math that explains the right way to weigh evidence. This isn't exactly new. Everyone supports Bayesian reasoning. The statisticians support it, I support it, Nate Silver wrote a whole book supporting it. But the joke goes that you do Bayesian reasoning by doing normal reasoning while muttering "Bayes, Bayes, Bayes" under your breath. Nobody - not the statisticians, not Nate Silver, certainly not me - tries to do full Bayesian reasoning on fuzzy real-world problems. They'd be too hard to model. You'd make some philosophical mistake converting the situation into numbers, then end up much worse off than if you'd tried normal human intuition. Rootclaim spent years working on this problem, until he was satisfied his method could avoid these kinds of pitfalls. Then they started posting analyses of different open problems to their site, rootclaim.com. Here are three: For example, does Putin have cancer? We start with the prior for Russian men ages 60-69 having cancer (14.32%, according to health data). We adjust for Putin's healthy lifestyle (-30% cancer risk) and lack of family history (-5%). Putin hasn't vanished from the world stage for long periods of time, which seems about 4x more likely to be true if he didn't have cancer than if he did. About half of cancer patients lose their hair, and Putin hasn't, so we'll divide by two. On the other hand, Putin's face has gotten more swollen recently, which happens about six times more often to cancer patients than to others, so we'll multiply by six. And so on and so forth, until we end up with the final calculation: 86% chance Putin doesn't have cancer, too bad. This is an unusual way to do things, but Saar claimed some early victories. For example, in a celebrity Israeli murder case, Saar used Rootclaim to determine that the main suspect was likely innocent, and a local mental patient had committed the crime; later, new DNA evidence seemed to back him up. One other important fact about Saar: he is very rich. In 2008, he sold his fraud detection startup to PayPal for $169 million. Since then he's founded more companies, made more good investments, and won hundreds of thousands of dollars in professional poker. So, in the grand tradition of very rich people who think they have invented new forms of reasoning everywhere, Saar issued a monetary challenge. If you disagree with any of his Rootclaim analyses - you think Putin does have cancer, or whatever - he and the Rootclaim team will bet you $100,000 that they're right. If the answer will come out eventually (eg wait to see when Putin dies), you can wait and see. Otherwise, he'll accept all comers in video debates in front of a mutually-agreeable panel of judges. Since then, Saar and his $100,000 offer have been a fixture of Internet debates everywhere. When I argued that Vitamin D didn't help fight...

Traditionally, most of us were taught that after cataract surgery, a patient should be assessed on day one, week one, and month one.  But what are these recommendations based on?  Practically speaking, does our typical survellance of post-operative cataract surgery patients make sense, or are we overly dogmatic in our approach?

[Recorded LIVE at the 2024 Claims Conference in Boston, MA!] The two head pastors of a megachurch had a falling out. One pastor left to start his own ministry, but just before he did, he changed the megachurch's Facebook password. He now has exclusive control of the account and sole access to the 100k+ followers, so the church filed a theft claim with its first-party insurer. Is this a direct physical loss to the church's property? Are Facebook followers even "property" with any means of valuation? Notable Timestamps [ 00:23 ] - Two pastors had a falling out, and one left to start his own ministry. The exiting pastor changed the Facebook passwork and took over the account, which has over 100,000 likes. The church filed a theft claim. [ 01:17 ] - Tim, Mike, and Alissha discuss the fact that this episode was recorded live at the 2023 Claims Conference in Boston, MA. [ 02:09 ] - The group banters about the continued relevance of Facebook groups like the one at issue in this scenario. [ 03:00 ] - A gut feeling is not a basis for a denial. We have to go through the policy and articulate the basis for the decision. [ 03:45 ] - A “facebook follower” doesn't sound like property, but “my account” or “my password” or “my client list” sounds like it could be. [ 05:19 ] - It took centuries for courts to develop and refine the meaning of land and property ownership, and “ownership” of digital assets is still a new field. [ 05:43 ] - Is this a direct physical loss? The data is stored somewhere on a physical medium… [ 06:30 ] - There is a special exclusion in Electronic Data for Manipulation By Employees. As for Employee Theft, Tim's pocket policy comes in handy: “tangible property does not include electronic data.” [ 07:40 ] - Practically speaking, can an insurer encourage an insured to “just work it out” with the thief? [ 09:40 ] - Mike proposes “the Solomon approach.” [ 10:50 ] - Tim provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

Monica Hall was born in Canada, adopted by American parents, and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. Growing up in a house filled with dysfunction, Monica rebelled against her strict Catholic parents in a downward spiral of delinquency. After being raped and finding out she was pregnant, her parents pushed her to up give her daughter–her only known blood relative– for adoption. Her experiences as an adoptee and a mother who relinquished a child for adoption kicked off a decades-long search for family and belonging. Over the course of 44 years, Monica got sober, embarked on a journey of self-discovery and self-love, and found ways to come out the other side stronger than ever.After being reunited with her biological family, Monica learned that she was indigenous and began traveling to Canada to connect more with her biological family, roots, and culture. She also makes frequent visits to Anchorage, the land of her youth.Family is one of the most important things in Monica's life. Today, she has strong relationships with her daughter and son, as well as the daughter she was reunited with eighteen years after relinquishing her for adoption. She is also very close to her grandchildren and (adoptive) brother.Website: https://www.monicahall.com/Music by Corey Quinn

Freedom. Elusive for some of us. Practically impossible for others. Listen in as AJ shares how she's found freedom, the healing power of writing and much more. Powerful and empowering. Listen in with big ears.Here's a link to AJ's previous interview https://thriving-adoptees.simplecast.com/episodes/aj-bialoDo you ever feel uncomfortable? AJ grew up in a very toxic environment that left her grieving the loss of what her life might have looked like if she hadn't been adopted. She was very uncomfortable at home and outside was rarely better. She captured her experience in a poem "Alone in the crowd" which she reads to us. Listen in as she shares how she eventually got to feel comfortable in her own skin for insights to help you.Here's a bit about AJ from her website:I have read many peoples biographies over the years and the one thing that people usually start with is the line “I was born…(fill in date and place).  I suppose that I could start out the same way.  After all, I do have a birth certificate that has a date and time on it.But, I also have other documentation from the hospital where I was born that contradicts the official date.  So since I am not sure exactly when I was born I will start with the statement:  I celebrate my birthday every year on May 8th.  Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, I still call the Salt City home. There is nothing that has impacted my life more than being adopted.  Like a black cloud, it has followed me around every day of my life since childhood.  It has caused abandonment and self worth issues that have affected every relationship I have ever had.  It has plagued every holiday with wondering and yearning to know who my birth family is and to know if they were thinking of me as I often thought of them.  Being adopted has caused me to question my whole identity.  Always wondering, who am I really?  A fellow adoptee once told me that being adopted was like being a red marble in a family of blue marbles.  You don't look like them, you don't sound like them, you don't act or think like them.  And no matter how hard you try to be more like them you will always be the outsider.You will always be the red marble in the family of blue marbles.  But the sense of disconnection does not end there.  For even if you are lucky enough to find the family of red marbles that you came from, as I have, you still don't find a place where you fit in because you don't know what it means to be a red marble. There is a spiel that I give at the beginning of every poetry and short story reading that I appear at.  A J Bialo is not my legal name, but it is my legal alias as recognized by New York State and the Federal Copyright Office.  It is the name that I have chosen to define who I am, as a writer and a person.  It is a tribute to  my two maternal grandfathers – without each of them I would not be the person I am today. I have always been an introvert and never really connected with kids my own age.My best friends growing up were the characters in the many books I would read every week.  I remember my father would take me to the library every Saturday where I would scour the drama, horror, fiction and science fiction shelves and I would peruse for hours the synopsis on the inside of dust jackets and the back covers of paper backs.  When I didn't find much new to read at the library I found myself with a notebook and pen writing my own stories.  These stories weren't great writings but just naïve childhood stories that were more interested in the characters than the stories. But my childhood writing career would be short lived.  My mother was very concerned that I spent too much time with my made up friends and not enough time socializing with real friends.  What she didn't understand was that I didn't have any real friends.  She discouraged my writing by reading what I wrote and belittling it as stupid and childish.  Of course it was childish, I think now in retrospect, I was a child exploring my world in a way that was comfortable to me.  Despite her criticism I continued to write and make up characters that I found intriguing.  But she would also continue to read my work and continued to criticize what I wrote.I continued writing, hiding my notebooks where I thought she wouldn't find them.  But it seemed no matter where I hid them she would find them, read them, and have some nasty comment about what I was writing.  When I ran out of hiding spots, I took my notebooks and a book of matches to the park where I hung out and burned them. I wouldn't start writing again until I was in my thirties. The first poem I ever wrote was on a train returning from a long weekend in New York City for a professional conference.  When I found my family of red marbles the one thing that I wanted to know was who my birth father was.  But this information was evidently a red marble secret which was not to be given up, at any cost.  To this day, I still don't know who my birth father is.  The only hint I do have is that he was from Brooklyn.  So, when I was in New York City I was hit by the fact that I was not far away (geographically) from my roots although I was light years away from knowing who and where he was.  The poem, Melancholy Home, was written quickly on the train and was finished before I reached Albany.  I don't know where the poem came from.  I didn't ever remember writing poetry when I was younger.  This was my first, and it seemed so natural. I remember wondering then if it was a fluke, a one time thing. From there came many poems, many of them relating to the raw emotions of being adopted.  It was like a flood gate opening:  Odd Marble Out, my thoughts on being a red marble in a family of blue marbles; Nobody's Child, my personal favorite describing how family is a group of people you decide to be and share with; Control Freak, my rebellion against a mother who tried to force me into a mold of her making and not my choosing; and Uncommon Bond, a poem which I wrote for my birth mother soon after I found her.It was never meant to be published, although it has been several times now.  It was meant for my birth mother to tell her who I was and what made me into the person I had become until our meeting day.  Sort of a mini autobiography written just for her. From there the poetry continued to flow, both in realms of adoption and other topics that are either important to me or just make me sit and say hmmmm.  In addition to poetry, I started to write stories again, both short stories, a sampling of which you might see at some point on this site, and a few lengthy novels.I continue to be an avid reader, although my reading has taken a focus away from fiction and tends more towards non-fiction and history.  I also continue to write poetry, short stories, essays and have been working on a few new novels. https://www.ajbialo.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/aj-bialo-0b45b348/https://www.facebook.com/aj.bialo Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.

The day of 7 Adar is the day of Moshe Rabbenu's death, and many have the custom to observe a fast on this day. Others have the custom of learning special material in the synagogue on the night of 7 Adar in commemoration of Moshe Rabbenu's passing. In truth, the precise date of Moshe's passing is subject to debate. The Midrashic text Yalkut Shimoni (Yehoshua, chapter 5) cites the view of Rabbi Eliezer who held that Moshe passed away on 7 Shebat, and not 7 Adar. Of course, the accepted view is that he passed away on 7 Adar. However, even within the accepted position we find different views concerning Moshe's death. Rabbi Yehoshua maintained that Moshe died on 7 Adar during an ordinary, twelve-month year, when there was only one Adar. Rabbi Elazar Ha'moda'i, by contrast, claimed that Moshe died during Adar Rishon of a leap year, when there were two months of Adar. The Gemara in Masechet Kiddushin (38a) comments that Moshe died thirty days before Beneh Yisrael began their preparations to cross the Jordan River, which occurred in Nissan. Clearly, then, according to the Gemara, Moshe died either on 7 Adar of a regular year, or on 7 Adar Sheni during a leap year. This debate, of course, will affect the date of the observance of 7 Adar during a leap year. If Moshe died on 7 Adar of an ordinary year, or on 7 Adar Sheni of a leap year, then the observance should be held in Adar Sheni. According to Rabbi Elazar Ha'moda'i, however, Moshe died during Adar Rishon, in which case the observance should be held on 7 Adar Rishon. Practically speaking, those who observe 7 Adar should, in a leap year, observe the occasion twice, both on 7 Adar Rishon and on 7 Adar Sheni, in order to satisfy all views. Regarding the commemoration of a loved one's Yahrtzeit, the Shulhan Aruch rules that if a parent passed away, Heaven forbid, in Adar, then in a leap year the Yahrtzeit is observed during Adar Sheni. If the parent passed away during Adar Rishon in a leap year, then in regular years the Yahrtzeit is observed on that date during the single month of Adar, and in leap years, the Yahrtzeit is observed during Adar Rishon. If the parent passed away during Adar Sheni of a leap year, then the Yahrtzeit is of course observed in a leap year during Adar Sheni. Summary: There are those who observe a fast and conduct a special learning session on 7 Adar, the Yahrtzeit of Moshe Rabbenu. In a leap year, these customs should be observed both on 7 Adar Rishon and on 7 Adar Sheni. An ordinary Yahrtzeit for a loved one who passed away during Adar is observed in a leap year in Adar Sheni. Of course, if the loved passed away in a leap year in Adar Rishon or Adar Sheni, then the Yahrtzeit is observed during a leap year in that same month.

Greig explores the practical way to abide in Jesus (John 15) by keeping in step with the Spirit (Galations 5). Listen to it in The Message translation!

As the Apostle Paul continues to provide practical instructions, he now turns to the topic of how Christians are to love one another. Christians should love one another because we belong to God's family as brothers and sisters in Christ. Practically, such love refrains from playing the comparison game and also pursues responsibility in order to bless others. Loving one another in this way provides a powerful testimony of God's love to a watching world.

Besides discussing the number of speed traps, Chad and Francis have a solid discussion around one of the most common topics in precision shooting: statistical significance. Rather than delving into a college level stats course, they talk about statistics in practical terms. Rather than working on statistical significance, they prefer to start with practical significance. Being able to identify a difference is not the same as being able to DO something about it.

As we discuss in the show, the AI is garbage so we won't burden you with it anymore. Instead, here are some of our favorite moments from the show. "There's nothing more different from an antique than something you buy in a mall." — Tony Russo"You have to know what's garbage. Like, before you mess with AI, you have to know the difference between what reads like garbage and what doesn't." — Tony RussoSo the AI is interpreting that as a tennis court and then just going through its catalog of sound effects and pulling up, you know, racket whooshes and ball, bounces and stuff like that. It's cool. It's interesting. Practically, though, you're still just gonna be using the stuff that you're capturing to start with. — Todd DeHart “You know, they have the chug a duck. You're drinking a natural light with amaretto on top of it out of a duck's, you know, out of a decoy”. — Todd DeHart "Yeah. They have … Is it 311 or Blink 182? I don't know the difference." — Tony Russo“I think that's one of the nice things about the art league and the film festival. They have international entries, and it's been going on for quite a while. And so it's not gonna be that over-processed, touristy, you know...” — Todd DeHart This is a public episode.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 135: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN Haley was winning Vermont, Uncommitted was doing ok but Biden's worst margin was about 60 points, and once again Super Tuesday is just a brand name. But the HEADLINE is: the Supreme Court actually HAS left the door open to disqualify Trump from becoming president again. Seriously. Turns out that many Constitutional Scholars and even some sitting members of the House, think that in its haste to make sure their pimp Trump got on to the ballot yesterday in Colorado, the Court ALSO left the door open to Democrats and disaffected Republicans challenging the validity of a Trump election if god forbid it plays out like that. There is now a debate over the consequences of the court ruling that the Constitution gives ENFORCEMENT of the 14th Amendment “to Congress.” Practically speaking: Trump wins the electoral college, the Democrats hold the Senate (slightly unlikely) and take the House (very likely), and they are suddenly going to pass new legislation saying Trump is ineligible because he engaged in insurrection in 2021? Well they don't HAVE to pass new legislation. They already did that, according to this reading, in 2022. It was “The Electoral Count Reform And Presidential Transition Act” designed to clarify the 1887 legislation through whose loopholes Trump tried to run his coup. The 2022 clarification closed nearly all of those loopholes, limiting what kinds of challenges lawmakers could make to electoral slates already certified by the states. But they left two grounds for objections challenges and one of them reads “the vote of one or more electors has not been regularly given.” THAT phrase was in the 19th Century legislation and it means, any suspicion that an elector was BRIBED to vote, or was like kidnapped and the guy casting the vote wasn't the REAL elector, or voted on the wrong day, or… the elector voted for somebody who wasn't eligible. Oops. Voted… for somebody who wasn't elllllligggggggible, you say? It's not just a can of worms. It's a FAMILY SIZED can of worms. Thank you Sam Alito! ALSO: Trump just publicly contradicted his court filing in New York that he didn't have the $465 million he owes. Asked about coming up with it on Fox, he answered: “I have a lot of money. I can do what I want to do…I don't worry about money.” MEANWHILE: It's mortifying but it may be a quick fix. A Democratic pollster has analyzed the field of potential Biden voters in three swing states and figured out that only 31% of them had even heard Trump's top ten worst statements about vermin and deportation and dictatorship, because voters are not immersed in politics and people do move on with their lives. The good news is that the moment they HEAR all of them, Trump's unfavorable score jumps by five points and individual deficits grow from five to nine points. Solution? More ads reminding people Trump is an anti-dictatorial son of a bitch. Like, you know, one in every commercial break on every television channel and streamer every day until the election. Oh – and emphasizing it in tomorrow's State of the Union wouldn't hurt. Did I mention I'll be on, live, after it, for our Countdown post-game show, on YouTube and Twitch? B-Block (23:14) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Roger Stone thinks Facebook conspired to stop his astroturf. Axios still hasn't fixed its LOLworthy story about Trump pivoting. And the appointment of a Hong Kong native here legally on a pre-citizenship visa to the San Francisco Election Commission to help with translating voting materials into other languages has deranged a bunch of fascists who are treating this as if Mao Tse Dong was just named to the Supreme Court. Maria Bartiromo thinks the San Francisco Election Commission is also the Federal Election Commission. And Michigan House candidate Anthony Hudson says we must have laws saying if you don't speak English you can't vote. Which'll be a problem for Anthony because he can barely SPELL English. C-Block (33:10) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: We had a president of MSNBC, he had been the president of CNN, and among other things he didn't have cable in his home and apparently hadn't watched any night-time show on MSNBC for at least a year. He also lied about his height, and he was – legitimately – 6'4”. Who the hell DOES that?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you planning Passover? Passover is a celebration that requires significant planning whether you are celebrating in your own home with your family or with a group. In Temple times, people would “register” for a lamb in groups of about fifty people. Since sacrificial animals all turn a year older on Elul 1 Rosh Hodesh Elul, the new moon festival of the month of Elul marks the opening of the time window when one-year-old lambs qualified for the Pesach will be born. Elul 1 is ma'aser behema, or the counting of domesticated animals. During the time of the Temple, this day was the new year to determine the start date of animal tithes. The lambs would therefore be a year old even though technically aged about six months or less. Since only a kazayit (the size of an olive) of the lamb had to be eaten to meet the requirement of sharing the Pesach, one lamb sufficed for many people. They simply needed to share in its suffering, not make the main meal from it. The celebratory meal of the chag (joyous festival) was the main course to fill the belly. During Second Temple times, if you did not register ahead of time to share in a lamb, then you were not permitted to eat from it! Yikes. Such delay in planning one's worship was considered a severe spiritual lapse. We might compare this to someone who has many opportunities to accept Yeshua as savior, yet refuses or delays repeatedly. When the Day comes, it is too late. Practically speaking, a person could make a last-minute purchase and bring his own lamb by procuring one himself, but that's a lot of meat for one person to eat before midnight! Passover is a type and shadow of salvation, but it is also predictive of how we acquire an identity with the holy community of Israel. From smaller family and friends gatherings, we grow together and eventually stand as one people at Shavuot and the fall feasts of Yom Teruah and Yom HaKippurim. A chag is a “memorial,” so while you're planning, why not plan to make it memorable? Since an essential element of Pesach is teaching children, the part of the seder that is telling the story of the Exodus can ALWAYS be made memorable to children. For instance, one year, I dressed up in Egyptian costume as “The Plague Lady.” It required a few months of planning! I don't have any photos from that seder because I was too busy plaguing people, but I looked pretty scary. Here's what I did: 1. Water turning to blood: I purchased small (dead) baitfish and a whole big fish from the market and submersed the big fish in a pitcher of red Kool-Aid. When the leader announced the plague, I came in and offered to serve the kids' table drinks from the pitcher. Yes, they screamed. I then threw some of the dried fish onto their table. Be careful with that one. One of the kids tried to eat one. 2. Frogs: Over a month before the seder, I purchased a frog pinata and three packages of catfish stinkbait. I opened the stinkbait, inserted it into the pinata, then wrapped the frog in a big Hefty bag and left it in the garage until Passover. I unwrapped it just after the dead fish Kool-Aid, unplugged the pinata, and then I walked through the room swinging the pinata around. Yes, it was horrible. I also bought some frog legs from the market and threw some onto the kids' table. I don't think anyone tried to eat those. We were all nauseated from the stinkbait frog. It smelled so bad you could taste it. 3. Lice: Easy-peasy. Lice-rice, baby, but go easy. Clean-up is a mess. 4. Flies: Cheap party favors, a dollar a bag. Pass them out to parents ahead of time so they can throw them at the kids. You won't have to worry about clean-up. The kids will scoop them up to take home. 5. Livestock pestilence: I took a huge stuffed cow, wrapped it in some bandages, stuffed a thermometer in her mouth, and made a “litter.” We took a few trips around the kids' table asking if there were a doctor in the house.

Today in our study of Joshua 3, we'll look at how the Children of Israel literally stepped out in faith and watched God do a wonderful miracle of necessity and confirmation. We'll glean several principles for faith and obedience. Join us in another faith-strengthening study in God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Where are the Children of Israel in verse 1? Practically speaking, what kinds of things do you think were necessary to move two million people across the Jordan River into the Promised Land? What does verse 15 tell us about the banks of the river? Was this a good time to cross? 2.    The podcast also explained a common challenge when studying the Bible timeline. What was the term used (in the podcast) to describe a perspective that focuses on event priority versus event sequence? How is that different from the linear perspective that we have today? 3.    In verse 5, Joshua tells the people to consecrate themselves to the Lord. From what we've talked about in our previous studies (such as Exodus 29 and Leviticus 1), what did consecration entail? Why was this important before the people entered the Promised Land? How might we apply this principle to our own life and consecrate ourselves to the Lord prior to important events in life? 4.    Why do you think the priests were to bring the ark before the people, in verse 6? What did this show the people?  5.    What were the priests to do with the ark in verse 8? Was this a normal technique for fording a river ahead of millions of people? What would it indicate about the faith and obedience of the priests and the people? When the priests stepped out in faith, what happened to the water in verse 16?   6.    This miracle demonstrated several key truths to the people. What did it demonstrate about the Lord's inauguration of Joshua in verse 7? What did it demonstrate about God's promises to go before them and cleanse the land in verse 10? What would it have communicated to the people who were living in the land? 7.    The podcast mentioned that crossing the Jordan River was not like crossing the Mighty Mississippi River. Roughly, how wide and deep was the Jordan River? What does this show us about the reason for miracles and God's apparent lack of concern for giving increasingly impressive and dramatic miracles? 8.    In Joshua 4:5, why did the Lord have the people make a memorial? In Joshua 4:24, who was this memorial for? Why do we need these kinds of memorials? How might we apply this principle to our own lives in times where we've seen the clear hand of the Lord? 9.    When you reflect on Joshua 3, what are some lessons you've learned regarding what it means to trust God, believe His word and take steps in light of it? What relationship is there between taking steps of faith and seeing the Lord's work in our lives? Is there some place in your life where you need to take a step of faith?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How to Speedrun a New Drug Application (Interview with Alvea's former CEO), published by Aaron Gertler on March 3, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I've been enjoying the newsletter of Santi Ruiz (Institute for Progress), who covers stories about achieving policy goals and other forms of progress. I found this to cover some ground that wasn't present in the Alvea postmortem. Excerpts The caricature is that the FDA is the enemy of progress, medical regulators are the enemy of progress, and they're slowing everything down. On reflection, I don't agree with that take, and our experience doesn't really support it [...] In drug development especially, making a thing that is plausibly good is much, much easier than making something that is actually, reliably, very good. Deploying drugs to scale requires that reliability. It's a very hard socio-technical problem. All the different kinds of regulatory requirements, quality management, quality control, etc., that could be naively identified as red tape or boring paperwork that slow down the innovators are actually there to achieve that reliability. Of course, when you get into the details, there are tons of ways this could be done more efficiently. But the fact that validation, testing, and ensuring that things are as they seem is 90% of the process is just the way the world works, not any fault of the regulators. When you work with any vendor for a pharmaceutical company, almost everybody requires an NDA to be signed. This by itself can eat up to two weeks of time on both ends of this transaction. We had automated this NDA signing process so that it would usually happen in hours. Many of our vendors would follow up and tell us how insanely fast this was and how it was the smoothest and fastest contracting experience that they had ever had. Another big pattern is that, for some reason, for a lot of these key processes that really move the needle on speed, the standard operating procedure for the industry is to talk to maybe three to five different vendors, compare them across a bunch of categories, and then pick one and go forward with them. That never seemed to work for us. We would approach it by finding every single vendor in the world who does the thing that we need done, finding the best people, and then going in and very closely redesigning and managing their process for maximum speed. Practically, this involves parallelization and then bottleneck hunting in the vendor's process to identify ways to make it faster. A good example of that was the manufacturing of the drug itself, of the DNA plasmid that was our vaccine's main active component. Our initial quotes from the first few vendors were like two years. "It takes two years. There is no way around that. This is just how long it takes." Then we found some folks who said, "It's going to be hard, but we can do it in a year." Then, once we have come in and looked at it deeply and redesigned it in collaboration with these folks, we ended up doing it in just over two months if memory serves. Thanks for listening.

Dionne Woods talks with Sarah Berry on the Paint Talks Podcast. Sarah is an entrepreneur, CEO, volunteer, and a support staff to her husband's small business. But those are her official titles. The most important names she goes by are “mom, wife, daughter, sister," and "friend.” The most challenging, yet rewarding, capacity she has worked in, (just behind motherhood!), has been that of self-employment. Although she has had an entrepreneurial “spark” most of her life, she officially started her small business journey in January 2014, with absolutely no clue what she was doing! Practically by accident, she turned a recipe of elbow grease, blind faith, and a lot of late-night coffee-infused work sessions, into a thriving creative business. Though the roots of her business began with creating handmade goods, encouraging people to finally take action on the little voice that has been nudging them to “do something more,” is what really gets her going! There is a need for what we ALL have to offer, and in helping people bring a little beauty and creativity back into their lives, she hopes to inspire others to finally take the leap on their own dreams! Life it too short and too amazing to let it pass without taking a chance on yourself, and Sarah is like the best biz buddy you never knew you needed....until now!! Upcoming Events: Sarah is getting ready to launch a mini course about starting a business from your own kitchen table like she did 10 years ago!

She has also just celebrated recently being published in Better Home and Gardens "Holiday Crafts" magazine for two years running, not to mention her most recent feature in "The Turquois Iris Journal!"

There is a well-known Halacha of "Mi'she'nichnas Adar Marbim Be'simha" – "When Adar arrives, we increase our joy." Adar is an especially auspicious month for the Jewish people, and thus if a Jew is embroiled in a court case against a gentile, he should try, if possible, to schedule the trial for the month of Adar. As this month is endowed with special Mazal ("luck" or good fortune), a person stands a better chance of emerging victorious in a legal battle during Adar. In a leap year, when we have an extra month of Adar, do both months have this special quality, or only the second Adar – Adar Sheni – which is when we celebrate Purim? Essentially, this question relates to the issue of the zodiacal sign to which Adar Rishon corresponds. The twelve months of the Jewish year correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac, and the month of Adar corresponds to Pisces (fish). The Sages teach that fish are not subject to the Ayin Ha'ra (evil eye), since they live underwater, and Adar corresponds to Pisces because during this month we are able to avoid the harmful effects of the Ayin Ha'ra. The question becomes whether in a leap year, Adar Rishon follows the zodiacal sign of Adar Sheni – in which case it shares the special auspicious qualities of Adar Sheni – or if it has the same sign as the preceding month, Shebat. This issue is subject to a debate. The Lebush (Rabbi Mordechai Yaffe of Prague, 1530-1612) maintained that Adar Rishon corresponds to the zodiacal sign of Aquarius, the sign of Shebat, and thus it does not have the special qualities of Adar Sheni. A different view, however is taken by the Kedushat Levi (Rabbi Levi Yishak of Berditchev, Poland, 1740-1810), in a famous passage in Parashat Ki-Tisa, and by Rabbi Sadok Hakohen of Lublin (1823-1900). They note that just as the twelve months correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac, similarly, the months correspond to the twelve tribes of Israel. The month of Adar, which is under the sign of Pisces, corresponds to Yosef Ha'sadik, who is blessed like fish, and who, like fish, was free from the clutches of the Ayin Ha'ra. Yosef was unique among Yaakob's sons in that his two sons – Menashe and Efrayim – each formed a separate tribe ("Efrayim U'Menashe Ki'Re'uben Ve'Shimon Yiheyu Li" – Bereshit 48:5). Accordingly, in a leap year, the two months of Adar correspond to the two sons of Yosef, Menashe and Efrayim, and, as such, both are represented by the sign of Pisces. It thus emerges, according to this view, that both Adar Rishon and Adar Sheni share the special properties of the month of Adar, and Adar Rishon is indeed an auspicious time for success in court. Practically speaking, then, it is certainly preferable during a leap year to schedule one's court cases for Adar Sheni, which is an auspicious time according to all views, but if this is not possible, there is certainly value in scheduling the case for Adar Rishon. It should be noted that Rashi (Rabbi Shelomo Yishaki of Troyes, France, 1040-1105), in his commentary to Masechet Ta'anit, indicates that this special quality continues through Nissan, as well. Commenting on the Halacha of "Mi'she'nichnas Adar Marbim Be'simha," Rashi explains that Adar is special because it ushers in the season of miracles, the season of Purim and Pesah. Significantly, Rashi mentions Pesah in this context, clearly indicating that Nissan, too, is an especially auspicious period. It would thus seem that, according to Rashi, Nissan is also a time when one has a greater chance of success in his lawsuits. Summary: It is advisable for a person facing a legal battle against a gentile to schedule his case for Adar. In a leap year, it is preferable to schedule the case for Adar Sheni, but there is value in scheduling the case for Adar Rishon. According to some sources, the auspicious quality of Adar continues during the month of Nissan, as well.

In this first episode I share my heart behind the “Journey to Becoming”, and what I hope to it mean for your life as well. I am taking you back to about 5 years ago when a friend was praying over me and shared that she felt God telling me to slow down. Slowing down was the absolute furthest thing from my mind. I was team “I can do everything all at the same time” and I wanted to run my race at MY pace. Well, that was a recipe for disaster, burn out and overwhelm. Can you relate? Wanting to do all the things, saying yes to everyone and everything that came your way?! God was trying to get a hold of me, but I was too busy-yikes! I wanted to wear all the metaphorical “hats” in life… God began to remind me that the most important title that I would ever have was first being His daughter. I had to make the decision to first operate out of that identity and not look for my worth in all the other titles. This Journey to Becoming is allowing God to pull everything out of us the He has already placed on the inside of us. It is operating out of our God-given identity to become who we are! Through this framework I have personally seen so much healing, freedom & restoration and I know the same can take place for you too. There are four areas that make up our Journey to Becoming & I share what those areas entail. I cannot wait to hear the action that you will begin to take on your own personal Journey to Becoming. This is truly, the start of something new!   I pray this blesses you, Xoxo Coach Joy   Let's connect here:   Get your 30 Day email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816 Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com
