Episode Summary: This episode cracks open one of the most frightening and misunderstood parts of grief: when a memory hits your body like a shock. You're sitting still, lost in a moment with your person, and suddenly your stomach drops, your breath tightens, your heart races, and you remember all over again that they died. It feels like you're grieving in two places at once. Sharon Brubaker takes you inside the neurobiology behind that jolt. She breaks down how the hippocampus pulls old memories like scenes from a movie, why the amygdala tags those memories as danger, and how your brain fires survival signals long before you can think. This isn't denial and it isn't weakness. It is your nervous system trying to protect you from emotional injury, and it moves faster than the rest of you can keep up. Through real-life examples and clear teaching, Sharon explains why certain memories hit harder, why they cycle over and over, and why it feels like the loss is happening in real time even years later. Most importantly, she shows you what it takes to calm the system that's been stuck on high alert and how real healing begins when you learn to process the pain—rather than waiting for it to fade on its own. Key Points Discussed: • Why your brain drops you into old memories without warning • How the hippocampus and amygdala replay emotional pain as if it's happening now • Why the body reacts before the mind understands • What reconciliation shock is and why it feels like losing your person twice • How unresolved emotion keeps your nervous system stuck in survival mode • Why memory jolts soften once grief pain is processed • What Processing the Pain of Grief teaches your brain to finally settle Journal Questions: • What memory pulls your body into a sudden drop • What part of that memory still feels emotionally unresolved • How does your body respond before your mind catches up • What does the second wave feel like when the truth hits • What would change in your life if your brain learned to soften these jolts Conclusion: These memory shocks don't mean you're going backwards. They don't mean you're in denial. They are the biology of grief doing what it was never taught to do differently. When you learn how to process the pain, the brain finally stops hitting the danger button every time you touch the past. Your system settles. The memories soften. The grief stops feeling like an ambush. This is the work. This is the shift. This is where healing begins.

Recording date: 25th November 2025Derek Mcpherson and Sam Pelaez of Olive Resource Capital highlight critical developments reshaping mining investment, with asset scarcity and supply chain vulnerabilities emerging as defining challenges for the sector.The ongoing Anglo American situation exemplifies limited growth options for major miners. Despite BHP quickly dismissing weekend speculation about a renewed bid, the December 9th shareholder vote underscores how few tier-one assets exist that can materially impact large producers' portfolios. Pelaez notes these critical assets remain concentrated among major companies like Teck, Anglo, and Glencore, with many already partnered on world-scale Chilean copper projects. The executives emphasize that while acquisition targets are scarce, "eventually someone has to build something, and the biggest companies are best positioned to build something."Sovereign wealth funds are now competing for direct critical minerals exposure. The Qatar Investment Authority's memorandum of understanding with Ivanhoe Mines to support Democratic Republic of Congo growth mirrors earlier Chinese sovereign investments in tier-one African assets. This development signals Middle Eastern capital seeking strategic positioning in what Pelaez views as an emerging electrification commodities bull market, though he stresses there are "simply not enough investable assets and companies for everyone to get direct exposure."The gold equity market continues maturing, with Muddy Waters pitching pre-revenue explorer Snowline Gold at the generalist Sohn Conference—a significant milestone indicating institutional capital flowing beyond traditional mining investors. This follows sustained inflows into the GDX ETF and suggests generalists are increasingly willing to evaluate unprofitable developers.However, the most critical structural challenge remains Western processing capabilities. Despite domestic mining efforts, North American materials still require Chinese processing for battery precursor conversion. Pelaez emphasizes the West lags China "more than a decade" in rare earths, lithium, and graphite processing, creating supply chain vulnerabilities that policy alone cannot address. For investors, understanding complete processing pathways matters as much as resource quality when evaluating critical minerals projects.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
California agriculture is facing unprecedented challenges, from water scarcity to rising production costs. Yet innovators like Stuart Woolf of Woolf Farms and Processing are finding ways to adapt and thrive. In a recent AgNet News Hour interview with host Nick Papagni and Ag Meter Lorrie Boyer, Woolf shared insights into family farming, water management, policy advocacy, and his pioneering work with agave cultivation. A Family Farming Legacy in Fresno County Stuart Woolf's family farming journey began in 1974 when his father purchased farmland on the west side of Fresno County at age 57. The family prioritized vertical integration from the start, particularly in tomato processing. They co-founded Los Gatos Tomato Products, which continues to operate today. Approximately 30 years ago, the Woolf's expanded into almonds with Harris Woolf California Almonds, moving from brown skin almonds to value-added products like almond paste, oil, and de-fatted flour. Woolf Farms combines both farming and processing, creating a diverse agricultural operation that has spanned multiple generations. Water Challenges and Political Engagement Woolf recalls arriving in the business in 1986, when water availability was more reliable. Over time, securing cost-effective water has become a central concern, requiring ongoing political advocacy. He explains that a large portion of California water has been diverted for environmental purposes, raising costs for farmers and complicating operations. Despite these obstacles, Woolf emphasizes that farmers continue to act as stewards of the land, producing substantial crops while managing limited resources. Regulatory Pressures and Rising Costs California's regulatory environment has significantly increased the cost of farming. Woolf cites a Cal Poly study showing that production costs have risen by around $1,600 per acre over the past decade—a 25% increase. While California offers fertile soil and a favorable climate, political and regulatory pressures threaten the state's natural agricultural advantages. As chairman of Western Growers, Woolf notes that some farmers are relocating to other states or countries due to high costs and regulatory challenges, putting multi-generational family farms at risk. Labor restrictions, trucking regulations, and rising operational expenses further complicate farming in California. Public Understanding and Agricultural Metrics Woolf stresses that the public often underestimates the pressures on modern farmers. Many consumers take grocery availability for granted, unaware of increasing costs and shrinking family farms. He critiques state agencies, such as the Department of Pesticide Regulation, for prioritizing process over practical outcomes and failing to include farmers' perspectives in decision-making. He argues that removing essential tools like pesticides can increase costs and reduce efficiency without measurable environmental benefits, highlighting the need for metrics that reflect the realities of agriculture. Innovating with Agave: A Sustainable Crop for California Woolf has turned to agave cultivation as a low-water solution for farmland with limited irrigation. Agave requires only 5–10% of the water compared to traditional crops. Inspired by Mexico's dry-farming practices, Woolf began experimenting with 12 agave varieties, eventually expanding to 450 acres over three years. His vision is to create a California agave industry akin to Napa Valley's wine culture, supporting small distilleries and building a local supply chain. Marketing, Distribution, and Crop Management California is the largest consumer market for agave-based spirits, making it ideal for local production. Woolf emphasizes: Partnering with craft distillers and larger distillation companies Raising awareness through highway visibility and marketing campaigns Carefully managing supply and demand to avoid overproduction Agave matures over 5–7 years in California, shorter than Mexico's typical 7–9 years due to hotter summers and drip irrigation. Woolf plans a rotational planting and harvesting schedule to maintain continuous production. Water Management and Land Optimization Agave cultivation is part of a larger strategy to optimize water-limited farmland: Installing solar panels on non-irrigated land Creating water banks to recharge aquifers during rainfall Adjusting crop profiles to maximize efficiency with available water This approach preserves family farmland while adapting to California's ongoing water scarcity. Policy, Advocacy, and the Future of California Agriculture Woolf underscores the importance of political engagement to improve water infrastructure and maintain a sustainable agricultural sector. He calls for: Reinvestment in state water systems Policies that balance environmental goals with productive agriculture Proactive solutions rather than relying solely on regulatory changes Woolf's long-term vision includes expanding agave production and continuing innovative strategies that combine environmental stewardship, economic viability, and community-focused farming. Conclusion Stuart Woolf's work exemplifies how innovation, adaptability, and policy advocacy can address California agriculture's modern challenges. From almonds and tomatoes to low-water crops like agave, Woolf Farms is pioneering sustainable solutions while preserving family farming traditions.

Thanksgiving Broadcast: Trump Admin Halts Processing Of ALL Immigration Requests Relating To Afghans After Terror Attack On National Guardsmen In DC

Send us a textIntegration of brain metabolism with neural signaling, highlighting how core metabolites regulate energy use and protect neurons.Topics Discussed:Brain energy efficiency: Brains are much more energy-efficient than computers for similar processing, relying on adaptive metabolic strategies evolved under energy scarcity.Metabolism vs. information processing: Core metabolites like glutamate bridge basic cellular energy production and neural signaling.Lactate as a signal: Produced during exercise, lactate diffuses from muscles to brain, modulating neuronal excitability and providing neuroprotection.BHB in ketosis: During fasting or ketogenic diets, beta-hydroxybutyrate displaces glucose as fuel, enhances antioxidant defenses, and activates protective potassium channels in neurons.Adenosine and sleep: Accumulates from ATP breakdown during wakefulness, triggering sleep and locally inhibiting overactive neural networks for energy conservation.Glial cells' role: Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes handle sophisticated metabolism, release signaling molecules like lactate, and modulate synapses, and influence diseases like Alzheimer's.Practical Takeaways:Regular exercise elevates lactate, which signals the brain to adapt metabolism and may enhance neuroprotection against stress.Intermittent fasting or ketogenic diets can induce ketosis with BHB, potentially boosting brain antioxidant defenses and preconditioning against metabolic stress.Prioritizing sleep helps clear adenosine buildup, restoring energy balance and supporting long-term neural health.About the guest: Dr. Luis Felipe Barros, MD, PhD is a Chilean neurobiologist and professor at the Universidad de Valparaíso, where he leads a lab studying brain metabolism from glucose transport to mitochondrial function.Related Episode:M&M 255 | Unlocking Energy: How Nutrition & Drugs Impact Your Mitochondria | Chris Masterjohn*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Edward English grew up between Houston and Ohio in a turbulent home marked by an absent father and an abusive stepfather. Put on Ritalin from ages 7 to 17, he struggled with confidence and identity — eventually turning to drugs as a way to escape. What started as experimentation spiraled into an eight-year heroin addiction that led to his arrest in 2011 for possession, distribution, and trafficking. Sentenced to nearly eight years in prison, Edward served 4.5 before being released in 2016. Behind bars, everything changed. Through faith, mentorship, and personal growth programs, he transformed his mindset and rebuilt his life from the inside out — a journey he documents in his memoir Emersion. Today, Edward is 14 years clean, a husband, father, and commercial plumber in Columbus, Ohio, dedicated to helping others overcome addiction and find purpose after prison. His story is one of pain, perseverance, and the power of true transformation. #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #AddictionRecovery #HeroinAddiction #OhioPrison #RedemptionStory #realstories Thank you to DAWS for sponsoring this episode: Go to http://www.daws.org/ to donate, adopt or send items from their wishlist.

We went live for the NASA broadcast of the release of images of the Interplanetary "comet" 3I-Atlas, which was delayed due to the government shutdown. As the cultural curiosity surrounding 3I-ATLAS went viral during the poorly timed government shutdown, it was a unique opportunity for NASA to do what it does best. Share data and spend a little more time with the actual experts to explore that curiosity and dig deeper into what we found. Unfortunately, it feels as though the government shutdown and funding cuts proposed by the current President's cabinet was more of an influence on this 3I-ATLAS review than curiosity was. If you wanted to know how I feel about this you can rewatch it live. Two major themes for me: - Don't be an intellectual bully. There are curious people out there who are not trolling you (NASA). Talk to those people without demeaning their curiosity - The definition of a "Comet" is vague and outdated. Just like Pluto needed to be reclassified as a dwarf planet, we need a better term for these icy objects. Would love to know what you think!

The temp spikes. The humidity climbs. Your sterile storage alarms go off—now what? In this episode of Beyond Clean's Tray Command, we sit down with Senior Infection Preventionist Stephen Rusbarsky to explore the brand-new ASHRAE 43 guideline and what it means for Sterile Processing. Stephen breaks down what changes, what stays the same, and how this new guidance outlines actionable steps for responding to out-of-range temperature and humidity events. From defining realistic thresholds to understanding when to monitor, when to escalate, and when reprocessing is actually required, he'll walk us through the critical decisions that guide your team's next move when alarms start to sound. If you've ever had to make that Sunday-night "do we cancel Monday's OR schedule?" decision, this season finale has the answers you've been waiting for!
Under Australia's new student visa system, Ministerial Direction 115 has been introduced with three processing tiers: your visa could take 1-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks, or 9-12 weeks depending on whether your university has stayed within its allocated international student numbers. The schools, colleges, TAFEs and universities that over-enrolled are being penalised with slower processing times. This podcast features migration expert advice on understanding the new system and how you can check your university's category before starting your student visa application.
Video Podcast Replay – Audio from a ChargeForward Conversations video podcast with experts from Chargebacks911 and PayBright. Most merchants don't realize how much they're overpaying in processing fees. In this episode of ChargeForward Conversations, Chargebacks911's Jarrod Wright sits down with Dustin Magaziner, CEO at PayBright, to discuss how B2B merchants can leverage interchange optimization to dramatically lower costs, and how recent Visa changes are reshaping who qualifies for those savings. What you'll learn: Why many B2B merchants are still paying 30–40% more than they should in processing fees The difference between B2B, B2C, and B2G payment structures—and what it means for your bottom line How Level 2 and Level 3 data enable deep fee reductions through interchange optimization What Visa's CEDP rollout means for merchants and agents—and how to avoid losing your discount rates Common mistakes processors make that block merchants from qualifying for lower interchange rates Simple steps to confirm whether your business is set up to receive optimization benefits Presentations by Jarrod Wright and Dustin Magaziner
Stevi got into Primal, then keto, then carnivore after seeing family members suffer, and dealing with her own weight issues. Carnivore got her through 2 pregnancies, got her BMI to normal levels, gave her back her brain power, and has allowed her to get through food addictions and help others to do the same. Stevi works with those that have autoimmune issues, on the AIP diet, with carnivore leaning and help them to figure out which foods trigger those issues. Stevi also created her own salad dressing company for those that need AIP options for seasonings, called Hearty Sauces.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Grieve That Shit, Sharon Brubaker talks about something most grievers never see coming: why normal sounds suddenly feel like an attack. The kids laughing, the microwave door slamming, a choir starting at church, a car alarm in the parking lot. Things you used to handle just fine now hit your body like lightning. Sharon walks you through what is really happening inside your grieving brain. She breaks down the amygdala, the nervous system, the HPA axis, and why grief flips all of them into survival mode. This is not you "being dramatic." This is biology. Your brain is trying to protect your broken heart and it does not know the difference between emotional danger and physical danger. Through real stories from her clients, Sharon shows how jumpiness, noise sensitivity, snapping at people, and shutting down in crowds are not personality flaws. They are signs that your grief system is stuck on high alert and has not been taught how to turn off. Then she shows you the path out: learning how to calm your brain by processing the pain of grief instead of running from it. Key Points Discussed: Why everyday noise can feel like an attack when you are grieving How the amygdala scans for emotional pain and treats it like danger What happens to your thinking center when grief hits and why you feel numb How the sympathetic nervous system keeps your body in survival mode Why your senses feel sharper, your reactions bigger, and your patience thinner The four grief responses Sharon sees most often: resisting, reacting, avoiding, and pretending How stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline keep your system on high alert Why this noise sensitivity is not permanent when you learn to process the pain How Processing the Pain of Grief helps calm your brain and soften your grief Journal Questions for Reflection: What sounds or situations make your body jump or tense up now that you are grieving Where do you notice your thinking has slowed down or feels foggy When was the last time you snapped or shut down and later realized you were not really mad at that person or thing What background noise or repeated behavior from others feels harder to tolerate since your loss What would it look like to give your brain and body a place to calm down instead of just pushing through Conclusion: Noise sensitivity in grief is not you "losing it." It is your grief biology doing its best to protect you with the only tools it knows. Your brain is on high alert. Your body is tired. Your system is trying to outrun the pain. But this does not have to be your forever. When you learn how to process the pain of grief, your nervous system can settle. Your thoughts get clearer. Your reactions soften. The world gets a little quieter again. You will still miss your person, but the grief does not have to feel like an attack every time a memory or a sound shows up.

What if the triggers you're trying so hard to get away from or avoid are actually doorways to some of the deepest healing you'll ever experience? Most of us have been taught to see triggers as the enemy—something to suppress, avoid, get away from or even pray away as quickly as possible. The problem is, […]

Who do you go to when life glitches? In this message, Lead Pastor, Jamie Nunnally continues our Holy Spirit series with instructions on how to engage with God's tech support.Ephesians 5:10 NLT Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.The Bible gives general truth for everyone, but it doesn't always answer specific situations. The great news: Christians have 24/7 tech support. The Bible gives the instructions; the Spirit gives the directions. The Bible brings the truth; the Spirit brings the troubleshooting.Romans 6:14 NIV For sin shall no longer be your master...How can we stop sinning if we don't follow the law? The Bible gives us the solution:Galatians 5:16–17 ESV Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh...The key is walking in the Spirit.Galatians 5:25 ESV If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Walking with someone means matching their pace and following their lead.The 5 steps of walking in the Spirit1. Pause.Psalm 46:10 NLT Pausing is a spiritual reboot—turning your will off and on again. Stillness reboots your awareness of God. If you don't pause, your flesh will hit "send" before the Spirit can speak.2. Listen.God speaks to your spirit. His voice often sounds like your thoughts but from a different source. If you're expecting thunder, you'll miss the whisper. We hear Him through spontaneous, persistent thoughts.John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice... Recognition comes through repetition. You don't need a louder God; you need fewer voices.3. Analyze.1 Thessalonians 5:19–21 ESV Ask: "Does this align with Scripture?" The Bible is the truth anchor. Don't test God's voice with feelings; test your feelings with God's Word. The Spirit always agrees with the Bible He wrote. Ask: "Is this what the Spirit wants or what I want?" "Does this reflect Jesus?" If the voice you hear always agrees with you, it's probably you.4. Implement.Hearing from God changes nothing until you obey. If you want God to speak more, obey what He already said.James 1:22 NLT Revelation without application becomes spiritual constipation. If the Spirit can't tell you "no," He's not your Lord—He's your mascot.5. Debrief.You won't always get it right, so process the results.Psalm 139:23–24 ESV Search me, O God...Reflection turns mistakes into maturity and lessons into lifestyle. You grow not by always getting it right but by always returning to the Teacher. Processing with God's people is essential too.ClosingHow would your life be different if you had been walking in the Spirit the whole time? You can't change yesterday, but you can start today. You have Heavenly tech support anytime, anywhere. Learn to listen and use it.Are you walking in the Spirit?
A. RARE EARTHS: CHINA'S MONOPOLY AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY Guest: David Archibald China's predatory pricing previously achieved a rare earth monopoly, damaging competitors like Lynas, which almost went bankrupt. Australia, via companies like Lynas and Iluka, is being eyed by the US as a non-Chinese source for rare earths critical for high-end electronics and defense. Processing is complex, requiring many steps, and often occurs in places like Malaysia. 1942
SHOW 11-14-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE ECONOMY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 BLISS: WEST COAST URBAN ISSUES AND THE PACK FIRE Guest: Jeff Bliss Seattle elected socialist Kate Wilson, who wants public grocery stores. The Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas has installed a massive slide for visitors. Both San Francisco and Santa Monica are seeing major business failures and mall auctions due to unchecked crime and vagrancy. Los Angeles Mayor Bass requested citizen help for cleanup before the Olympics. Meanwhile, the 3,000-acre Pack Fire in Mono County is being aided by heavy rain. 915-930 MCTAGUE: LANCASTER COUNTY ECONOMY AND AI FEAR Guest: Jim McTague Reports from Lancaster County show a strong local economy: a metal forming company is "busy as they've ever been" and actively hiring, and the mall is packed with shoppers. Tourism is thriving, exemplified by sold-out shows at the Sight and Sound Theater. However, a persistent fear of AI-driven layoffs exists among retirees, despite no personal connection to the issue. Data centers supporting AI are rapidly being built in the area. 930-945 A. THE FILIBUSTER AND CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the filibuster's purpose: slowing down legislation to improve deliberation and mitigate hyper-partisanship. However, he argues its use against continuing resolutions is illegitimate, leading to "horrendous dislocation." He proposes changing the Senate rule to forbid filibusters on continuing resolutions, ensuring essential government functions are not held hostage for collateral political gain and maintaining fiscal continuity. 945-1000 B. BBC DEFAMATION AND THE NEED FOR REFORM Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the BBC's alleged defamation of President Trump through edited footage. Unlike US law, British defamation has a low bar, though damages may be smaller. Epstein contends that the BBC's reputational damage is enormous and suggests the institution is "thoroughly rotten" due to corruption and political capture. He advocates for cleansing the operation and breaking up the public monopoly. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 BRANDON-WEICHERT: AI'S IMPACT ON JOBS AND GEOPOLITICS Guest: Brandon Weichert High-profile layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are tied to AI replacing roles, fitting the anticipated economic transformation, though it may initially look like a bubble. The US leads in AI software, while China excels in robotics. Concerns exist regarding massive AI bets by industry leaders like Ellison and Altman, specifically whether their political ties could result in taxpayer bailouts if these huge projects fail. 1015-1030 FIORI: ITALIAN HERITAGE TRAINS AND POLITICAL DISPUTES Guest: Lorenzo Fiori Italy is launching heritage Christmas trains like the Espresso Monaco and Espresso Assisi, restoring old coaches and locomotives for tourists. Deputy PM Salvini is publicly criticizing aid to Ukraine, linking it to corruption, potentially as a strategy to regain consensus and boost his party's falling popularity. Nationwide student protests are occurring over school reform and the Palestine issue. Milan is preparing for Christmas celebrations. 1030-1045 A. COMMERCIAL SPACE ACHIEVEMENTS AND POLICY SHIFTS Guest: Bob Zimmerman Blue Origin's New Glenn successfully launched and landed its first stage vertically, becoming only the second company to achieve orbital stage reuse, despite its slow operational pace. VAST, a US commercial space station startup, signed a cooperation deal with Uzbekistan, possibly including flying an astronaut to its Haven One module. France announced a new, market-oriented national space policy, significantly increasing budgets and embracing capitalism via public-private partnerships. 1045-1100 B. GOLDSTONE FAILURE AND SUPERNOVA DISCOVERY Guest: Bob Zimmerman NASA's Goldstone antenna, a critical link in the Deep Space Network, is out of service due to an embarrassing error where it was over-rotated, twisting the cables. This impacts communications with interplanetary and Artemis missions. Separately, new astronomical data from a supernova explosion shows the initial eruption was not symmetrical but bipolar, pushing material and light along the star's poles, refining explosion models. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1. JOSEPHUS AND THE SIEGE OF JODAPATA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Jewish revolt against Rome, starting in 66 AD, is primarily chronicled by Josephus, a leader of the revolt and later historian. Josephus commanded the defense of Jodapata against General Vespasian. After defeat, Josephus survived a mass suicide pact, surrendered, and convinced Vespasian not to kill him by predicting he would become Roman emperor. The rebels were inspired by previous victories like the Maccabees. 1115-1130 2. TITUS'S SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Nero's forced suicide in 68 AD and the subsequent chaos confirmed Josephus's prophecy, leading to Vespasian being proclaimed emperor in 69 AD. Vespasian left his son Titus to lay siege to Jerusalem in 70 AD. Though Jerusalem was a strong fortress, the defenders were critically weakened by infighting among three rebel factions and their own destruction of the city's necessary grain supply. 1130-1145 3. SURVIVAL DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Before the siege of Jerusalem was sealed, two foundational groups fled: Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai, smuggled out to Yavneh to establish Rabbinic Judaism, and the followers of Jesus, who went to Pella. Titus focused the Roman assault on the city's weakest point, the northern wall. The overconfident Romans were repeatedly frustrated by Jewish defenders using effective irregular tactics, including raids and undermining siege equipment. 1145-1200 4. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AND MASADA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Flavians decided to completely destroy Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD, an act of extreme Roman imperialism that left the city in ruins. Afterwards, Judea was upgraded to a formal Roman province with a governor and the 10th Legion quartered in Jerusalem. Four years later, the siege of Masada ended with the alleged suicide of defenders, though archaeological evidence remains controversial among scholars. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Greenlights ROK Enrichment, Raising Proliferation Fears Guest: Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center The US agreement to support the Republic of South Korea's civil uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing for peaceful uses is viewed by Sokolski as a movement toward proliferation. Sokolski notes that this decision greenlights the ROK—a treaty ally with a history of attempting to use its civil programs to make nuclear weapons—to a position similar to Iran's. The ROK successfully leveraged the inconsistency of US policy, pointing out that Japan has permission to enrich and reprocess fuel and possesses a massive plutonium stockpile. Granting the ROK these capabilities sets a concerning precedent, potentially compelling the US to allow other countries like Saudi Arabia to seek similar nuclear options. The proliferation concern is heightened further by the ROK's desire for a nuclear-powered submarine, which could lead to pursuit of a full nuclear weapons triad. 1215-1230 SOKOLSKI: CHINA'S CONVENTIONAL ICBM THREAT Guest: Henry Sokolski The US military is concerned China's PLA may field a conventionally armed ICBM able to strike the continental US. Such missiles could use maneuverable front ends to evade defenses and deliver autonomous drones. This weapon might target civil infrastructure to intimidate the US and deter intervention during a Taiwan conflict. This prospect is opening up a new and puzzling area of strategic warfare requiring urgent strategic assessment. 1230-1245 A. RARE EARTHS: CHINA'S MONOPOLY AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY Guest: David Archibald China's predatory pricing previously achieved a rare earth monopoly, damaging competitors like Lynas, which almost went bankrupt. Australia, via companies like Lynas and Iluka, is being eyed by the US as a non-Chinese source for rare earths critical for high-end electronics and defense. Processing is complex, requiring many steps, and often occurs in places like Malaysia. 1245-100 AM B. HIGH-TEMPERATURE RARE EARTHS AND PREDATORY PRICING Guest: David Archibald The most desirable rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, allow magnets to function at high temperatures. China is now sourcing 40% of its supply of these from Myanmar. Though Australia produces these, structural oversupply is a risk. Subsidies, like the floor price given to MP Materials, may be necessary to prevent Chinese predatory pricing from killing off non-commercial producers seeking market dominance.

I was so honored to be joined by spiritual teacher and energy healer Eva Müller for a rare, first-hand tour through different states of consciousness. Eva recounts the dissolving of identity in samadhi, the beauty and shock of unity consciousness, the stark emptiness of Brahman, and how unconditional love returns in a new way.

HT2435 - Processing and the Time of Day As strange as it might sound, I've noticed that how I process an image depends on when in the day I do it. Finicky details and complex processing steps are best done in the morning when my eyes are fresh and I'm most energetic. Aesthetic decisions and experiments are best done late in the day when I'm just a bit tired and my subconscious has an easier time poking through the barrier of the intellectual mind.
