Join host Elizabeth S DeWitt, MD, CEPS-P, and episode guests Cheyenne Beach, MD, FHRS, CEPS-P, and Robert Przybylski, MD as they discuss Sudden cardiac death is the leading cause of mortality in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Two risk scores—HCM Risk-Kids and PRIMaCY—have been developed to estimate 5-year risk, but their performance in an independent cohort showed limitations. Both tools tended to overestimate risk and showed imperfect ability to distinguish between low- and high-risk patients. However, their predictive accuracy significantly improved when risk assessments were repeated over time during follow-up.    https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1161/CIRCEP.124.012932 Host Disclosure(s): E.

Many folks think the Catholic belief that Peter was made the first pope of the Catholic Church by Jesus is merely a human tradition. A quick search of Sacred Scripture shows that the Petrine Primacy is of divine origin and intended as an office to be maintained as long as there is a Church on earth.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, the Third Sunday of Easter, the main reading in the Gospel (St. John, 21:1-19) recounts the Risen Christ's appearance and the conferring of the Primacy of Peter.This promise that Simon would be the foundation, the source of strength and unity, in the new Christian community, was made factual on the occasion described here by John.His fellow Apostles and the first Christians recognized this position of authority, and it is evident in almost every page of Acts, the book that describes the infant Church.In today's reading, the apostles' fishing expedition is also highlighted as a symbol of the Church (the barque of Peter) across space and time, with its apostolic task of seeking souls.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

After 100 days of Trump's second term, questions have arisen about birthright citizenship, the arrests of judges and deportations without due process.On Today's Show:David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker and the host of The New Yorker Radio Hour, offers his assessment of Trump's second term so far, and the opposition that is beginning to form.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), who was part of the movement known as phenomenology. While less well-known than his contemporaries Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, his popularity has increased among philosophers in recent years. Merleau-Ponty rejected Rene Descartes' division between body and mind, arguing that the way we perceive the world around us cannot be separated from our experience of inhabiting a physical body. Merleau-Ponty was interested in the down-to-earth question of what it is actually like to live in the world. While performing actions as simple as brushing our teeth or patting a dog, we shape the world and, in turn, the world shapes us.

For trial lawyers, “advocacy in a hurry” — injunctions, bail hearings, requests for orders of protection, emergency custody petitions, or immigration orders — calls for making the most of the limited time you have before the court, even if it's just 15 minutes. Former Illinois Eighth Circuit Court Judge Mark Drummond shares seven valuable tips on compressing your case to fit the time available, how to help the judge quickly understand what's at issue in the proceeding, and what ethics concerns must remain top of mind for all advocates regardless of whether their time before the court is 10 minutes or 10 weeks. Topics3:43  What is emergency advocacy?  8:00  Circumstances calling for emergency advocacy16:48  Making the most of the little time you have17:40  Factors you must prove in your state18:30  Primacy and recency21:00  Appeal to the judge21:47  Written offer of proof23:15  Persuasive use of numbers23:53  Offer time limits27:00  Judges triage27:39  What judges fear31:02  Two things to be prepared for34:11  Your duty of candor to the court38:06  Signoff questionsQuote“You've spent a lot of time going through law school.

The Scribe's Question and Jesus' Answer A scribe asked Jesus, "Which is the first commandment of all?" (Mark 12:28). Jesus responded: The first commandment: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord, and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength" (Mark 12:29-30). The second commandment: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these" (Mark 12:31). The scribe agreed, stating that loving God with all one's being and loving one's neighbor as oneself is "more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices" (Mark 12:33). Jesus affirmed the scribe's understanding, saying, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God" (Mark 12:34). The central thought: To love Him is more. The Primacy of Love Love covers a multitude of sins. Perfect love casts out fear. God is love. Loving Christ is more than any earthly love. More than the love between spouses. More than the love between parents and children. "If you love Me, keep My commandments." The love Christ has for people is an agape love, unconditional and regardless of actions. Love is more important than service or church attendance. Service is a result of love, not the other way around. Church attendance represents love for God. Temptations and Questions Pharisees tempted Jesus with questions about paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus responded by saying, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Sadducees, who did not believe in resurrection, questioned Jesus about marriage in heaven. Jesus clarified that there is no marriage in heaven. The scribe listened to these exchanges and perceived that Jesus answered well. The scribe asked which is the first commandment of all. Jesus' answer was more than just reciting the Ten Commandments. The Greatest Commandment Jesus referred to Deuteronomy 6, stating that the first commandment is to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. If one truly loves God, the other commandments will follow. The second commandment, from Leviticus 19, is to love your neighbor as yourself. All the laws and prophets hang on these two commandments. God's commandments are rooted in the understanding that people must first love God to observe them. If one can love like God loves, it will transform everything they think, do, and say. 1 John 4:7-21: Love's Source and Manifestation "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God" (1 John 4:7). If you don't have the love of God in you, you're not going to get it right. Love must motivate everything we do. "He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love" (1 John 4:8). Grace is the manifestation of God's love. "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him" (1 John 4:9). Jesus' death on the cross was an act of love for humanity. "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins" (1 John 4:10). "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another" (1 John 4:11). "No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us" (1 John 4:12). "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him" (1 John 4:16). The love of God was placed in people when they were born again. If the Holy Spirit is in you, then you have the love of God in you. "We love Him because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19). "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,

After 42 years in ministry, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones proclaims the most urgent need in the church today is that of preaching. The world says it is outdated, but to Christians, it is the way God intended His word to be taught through the ages. Without question, there are things in the church that are wrong, such as traditionalism and institutionalism. However, preaching is still its primary task. In this sermon titled “Primacy of Preaching,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones identifies the key reasons why preaching has suffered a serious downgrade in the church today. He begins recounting those who make light of the orator's ability, suggesting that if a man is a great speaker, then he is not honest. Another reason preaching has suffered is that with all the availability of information through radio, TV, and books, there is less perceived need for preaching. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that it is one thing to be a master of fine phrases, but not the master of the sacred text. Essays are not sermons, and eloquent oratory can be the form replacing the substance. He further points out how the emphasis on entertainment has damaged the power of the pulpit saying, “So much time is spent creating the atmosphere that there's no time to preach in the atmosphere.” This downgrade impacts those outside the church. Dr. Lloyd-Jones proclaims that Jesus did not come into the world to heal the sick; He came to save sinners. The world did not stop Christ from doing miracles, but they crucified Him for His preaching. The preacher's priority is not to serve tables, but to do the ministry of the word and prayer. Renewed preaching always heralds the dawn of reformation.

In today’s episode, Adam, Brett, Jason, and special guest Andrew Kneeland continue their series looking at the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope.

In Part One, we looked at the ideas of primacy (the first thing we remember) and recency (the last thing we remember) and what this means for speakers. Now in Part Two we will go deeper with our entry and exit points of the chapters within the talk and how to choreograph the big crescendo for our polemic's sparkling conclusion. We naturally have to pump a lot of energy into designing the opening stanza of our speech.  On the surface of it, this would seem to be our one big chance to establish our theme, point of view and talk direction with the audience.  The opening is a battering ram to smash into the brains of the assembled masses and launch a takeover of their every thought.  This is easier said than done though, because any lapse of logistics or vocal quality and energy will see them scampering for the mental exists to get their internet fix mainlined through their phones. Even if we do manage to hijack them at the start, we cannot presume we won't lose them somewhere midstream.  That is why when we do the planning for the talk we need to design distinct chapters into the talk.  These chapters are constructed around the evidence that supports our central proposition.  Now these chapters have a primacy and recency function as well.  The opening of the chapter has to dislodge that last thing we told them and replace it with the new bauble.  Most speakers pay no attention to this chapter idea and just arrange their talk to move from one section to the next.  The sections of the talk compete with each other for audience attention and we have to be aware of that.  At each chapter start we need a mini-battering ram to blast the tunnel deeper into the listener's mind.  We have just told them some scintillating detail backing up our overall point and now we need to dislodge that, so we can ship in the next point. Stories are good for this exercise as are questions, quotes, facts and statistics.  We are wading deep in our evidence portion of the talk at this point, but the facts need to be arrayed before the audience in such a way that makes them irrefutable.  In a forty minute speech each chapter will be about five minutes long, so taking out the blockbuster opening and the first stupendous close before the Q&A, we probably have time for six or seven chapters.  So that means we need some variety with each opening.  Starting each chapter with the same thing becomes predictable and boring. Predictability is the speaker's nemesis, because it invites the audience to escape from us now that they know what is coming next. In the planning stage investigate the point you are making to support your overall argument and see what type of opening the evidence lends itself to.  There may be some doubling up with opening gambits, but try for as much variety as possible to keep audience attention on you the speaker.  The end of each chapter is mini-close as well.  That means we have to come up with a zinger one sentence finisher that really makes your key argument sing.  This is all a matter of planning and that is the rub.  Most speakers do a poor job of planning because they are waist deep in slide assembly and logistics.  This is what they call planning but that is delusionary. We have used each chapter to make our case and each chapter ending to summarise the facts and evidence of that section.  At the first close, before the Q&A, we need to bring the whole juggernaut to a crescendo.  Again, this is all about our design creativity and communication expertise.  Naturally the vocal delivery is a rise at the end of the final sentence that barks credibility, power, conviction and belief.  We finish strongly, implant a pregnant pause that invites the audience to recognise we have finished and that they may now unleash their frenzied applause.  We then glide straight into the Q&A, following which we add another powerful close.  It can mimic the first one, it could be different, it is all in the planning and what type of impact you want.  Nevertheless, the vocal delivery will again be triumphant, strong and commanding.  Many speakers end with a whimper, their voice quietly falling away. Don't be one of them.  Go out powerfully, with energy, verve and supreme confidence.  Deliver an ending they won't forget, because we know the power of recency and we want our message to stick.  

In today’s episode, Adam, Brett, and Jason are joined by special guest Pastor Andrew Kneeland as they begin a new series looking at the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope

Primacy refers to the beginning of something, as it enters our brain. This new entity has a powerful impact on our memory and our concentration.  To muscle itself into our existing brain thought stream, takes a lot of mental energy. If successful, the new direction grabs us more powerfully than continuing with the same existing thought pattern.  Recency is focused on the last thing we have heard.  One of the narky criticisms of some people is that the thoughts we share with you are the result of our most recent conversation. We tend to remember the last thing we heard.  That makes a lot of sense doesn't it, but what does this mean for speakers? Are we only able to have our audience remember our openings and closings of our speechs?  Yes, the audience will certainly most easily recall the first and last pieces of information.  They will also strike an impression of us, on the basis of our first and last visual and vocal touches.  Obviously, we need to plan for and control the delivery of all of this opening and closing business, but we can go beyond that.  There will also be numerous other opens and closings going on during the audiences' busy day. How do we shove all of those completely aside and dominate the minds of our audience.  We want them to absorb our message and to exclude all other competing thoughts? Why do we have only one opening and one closing?  Could we break the talk up into chapters?  Each chapter is given a gangbuster opening and closing for that particular thought or point we want to convey.  Could we bring some physical action to the fore to differentiate the chapters and lift the audiences' engagement with us?  This is only possible if we switch up our thinking about what is achievable with a talk.  The speaker's normal fare is the same as everyone else's normal fare.  We are immediately at a disadvantage to stand out from the crowd.  Sadly, we are at one with the speaker push, fitting in with standard operating procedures and methodologies.  We become another grey automaton lined up with all the other robot speakers.  Let's stop doing that. In a forty minute talk, there will be room for around seven to eight chapters, an opening and the first close before the Q&A, then the final close.  Let's change up the opening at both the mental and physical levels.  We want an opening statement, question, quote, testimonial or story that rocks the audience back into the folds of their seat and makes them take note that they are strapping in for a major ride here today.  This shatters everything that came before for them up until that point. We must extinguish their previous thoughts and proclivities.  This is especially so, if you are one of a number of speakers tumbling along one after another, launching forth on some worthy topic. Let's organise some crew, instead of always going solo. If there is a switch between you and the MC or the previous speaker, there is always some dithering around with the tech to get the laptops exchanged and your slides up.  This drains the lifeblood of your first impression and the energy in the room simply tanks.  The MC roars, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the incomparable, the amazing, the stupendous Dr. Greg Story. Please welcome him to the stage, because he is going to totally rock our world today”.  You scramble up on stage and are immediately bent over like an old, old man, head down, trying to get the laptop hooked up to the projector.  This unwanted intrusion into the opening segment continues while you are zipping around with your mouse, looking to boot that slide show up.  This lull in proceedings has cratered the impact of that powerhouse MC introduction. It has now effectively been driven down to a pathetic whimper.  People have whipped into scrolling through their Facebook, LinkedIn or email, ignoring you while you get your act together.  The opening's marvellous, magical momentum has melted away. Why not get someone else to handle the logistics, so that you can get straight into your talk?  They set it all up while you are already speaking to the audience.  At the right moment they leave the slide advancer for you on top of the laptop, gracefully glide off stage and leave you to continue solo.  This way we float directly onto the power stream of the MC and then take the audience even higher with our own energy.  Yes, we need to have a lot of energy at the start, because remember there are two bodies on stage. We want to monopolise the audience's attention for ourselves.  We purposely stand on the far side of the stage, to draw everyone's looking line away from the tech God and have the audience focus on us instead. In Part Two, we will go deeper with our entry and exit points of the chapters and then how to choreograph the big crescendo for our polemic's sparkling conclusion.  

How Do You Defend Papal Primacy Using Scripture? And More What biblical evidence supports the Pope's authority and the early Church's foundation in Rome? Joe Heschmeyer explores this question and more from the audience at SEEK 2025, including Sheol's transformation after Christ, infant baptism, and the Real Presence in Anglican and Orthodox churches. Questions Covered: 05:46 – What did it actually mean to go to Sheol and how did that change with Christ? 07:42 – How do I defend papal primacy using scripture? How do we defend how the early Church was based out of Rome? 17:08 – I’m Protestant and struggle with infant baptism. How can A child be saved if they have no belief? 23:44 – Hypothetical from an atheist? If I tell my wife: love me or i will set you on fire?” Does she have a choice, and do I actually love my wife? 29:29 – What’s wrong with the following argument: Protestants are more catholic than Catholics because they have fewer factors that need to unify them? 32:30 – How does one discern who has the fullness of the faith between Catholics and Orthodox? 37:50 – Is it ok to refer to Scripture as Jesus since he is he is the word of God? 41:30 – How do we encounter the world, take criticism, and spread the gospel without being obnoxious? 42:12 – If Mary is the Mother of God and she is not the source of his divinity, why does she need to be sinless? 51:13 – Do the Anglican Church and Orthodox have the Real presence? Am I supposed to bow if they do?

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: The practical differences between direct reward conditioning and indirect reward conditioning.  Primacy of learning and conditioning hunting as a means of locating odor. Understanding the foundations built into your dog's early training. Utilize the quality of hunting as the barometer to show your dog's interest. Giving varied and unique hiding places for the odor to your dog in training.  Creating sticky behavior in your dog when searching.  Building variability to maintain behavior over time.   Key Takeaways: In the direct reward methodology, we are pairing hunting and odor recognition. It teaches an olfactory queue to get an obedience behavior. In the indirect methodology, we pair the final response and the odor recognition. Variation in hunting volume and variable reward in finding the target order are extremely important.  Remove handler dependency as much as possible. You don't want your canine to be obsessed with you, your reward delivery, and presentations. You want them to have enough independence to do their work without influence from you.  Mimic what you see in deployment in your training and in-services. Those pictures should be aligned, your dog doesn't know the difference. Clearing blanks is something your dog needs to know how to do because that is what they're going to see often in deployment.   "Variable reward is the thing that's going to really keep your dog at a high level of engagement in the hunting process over longer periods of time and more area that we're asking them to cover, and it's very important to master variation in how you do detection." —  Jerry Bradshaw   Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training:  www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube:  tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon:   patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine  Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/  Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/    Sponsors:  ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com The Drive Company: https://thedriveco.com/  The Drive Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrive.co      Train Hard, Train Smart, Be Safe.   Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Although some theologians treat the Ten Commandments as if they were just another portion of the Mosaic law, the Bible indicates that the Ten Commandments have a special primacy over Scripture's other commandments.

Religionless Christianity Podcast Episode 251The entire basis of the Roman Catholic Church and the office of the Pope hangs on Matthew 16:16-19. This is where the doctrine of Peter's Primacy and the Succession of Popes rests.

Parts of the global Church have a very different kind of challenge on their hands than we do in the West: how to handle explosive growth. In many parts of Africa, the Church is running out of room in their seminaries, convents, and monasteries because of rising vocations, and the laity are collectively practicing their faith in ways that put the Church in the West to shame. In Nigeria, upwards of 94 percent of Catholics go to Mass every week while the U.S. can't even reach 30 percent in weekly mass attendance among Catholics. What explains this wide discrepancy? What are we in the West getting so wrong about evangelization, and what is the Church in Africa getting so right?

OVERTASKED UNDERGUNNED: 1/4: To Provide and Maintain a Navy: Why Naval Primacy Is America's First, Best Strategy by Henry J Hendrix (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Provide-Maintain-Navy-Americas-Strategy/dp/0960039198 The national conversation regarding the United States Navy has, for far too long, been focused on the popular question of how many ships does the service need? "To Provide and Maintain a Navy," a succinct but encompassing treatise on sea power by Dr. Henry J "Jerry" Hendrix, goes beyond the numbers to reveal the crucial importance of Mare Liberum (Free Sea) to the development of the Western thought and the rules based order that presently governs the global commons that is the high seas. Proceeding from this philosophical basis, Hendrix explores how a "free sea" gave way to free trade and the central role sea borne commercial trade has played in the overall rise in global living standards. This is followed by analysis of how the relative naval balance of power has played out in terms of naval battles and wars over the centuries and how the dominance of the United States Navy following World War II has resulted in seven decades of unprecedented peace on the world's oceans. He further considers how, in the years that followed the demise of the Soviet Union, both China and Russia began laying the groundwork to challenge the United States maritime leadership and upend five centuries of naval precedents in order to establish a new approach to sovereignty over the world's seas. It is only at this point that Dr. Hendrix approaches the question of the number of ships required for the United States Navy, the industrial base required to build them, and the importance of once again aligning the nation's strategic outlook to that of a "seapower" in order to effectively and efficiently address the rising threat. "To Provide and Maintain a Navy" is brief enough to be read in a weekend but deep enough to inform the reader as to the numerous complexities surrounding what promises to be the most important strategic conversation facing the United States as it enters a new age of great power competition with not one, but two nations who seek nothing less than to close and control the world's seas. undated USS Maryland
