Send us a textMasafer Yatta is a collection of hamlets in the Occupied West Bank that Israel has long tried to wrest from Palestinians living there. The intensifying struggle there is the topic of the recent Oscar-winning documenary "No Other Land." Robert Suberi is an American who has been going to Masafer Yatta since 2019 to document human rights abuses and to  be a protective presence for Palestinians under threat of attack by Israeli soldiers and state-backed settlers.  Suberi  talks about his evolution from ardent Zionist to a critic of the Israeli state committed to solidarity with the besieged residents of Masafer Yatta. Tthere are many groups providing protective presence in Palestine; Suberi discusses what they do and his own positive experience with the Center for Jewish Nonviolence.

Send us a textThe power of protective maternal love transforms families, communities, and ultimately our world. When Tara Hackney adopted her daughter from India, a transformative realization occurred during a tender moment of singing "Jesus Loves the Little Children" to her traumatized toddler. The beloved song's lyrics—"red and yellow, black and white"—suddenly felt exclusionary. Where was brown? This gap inspired Tara to reimagine the lyrics to "every color, every shade, just exactly as He made," creating a beautiful children's board book that celebrates diversity as an intentional part of God's grand design.Tara's story weaves together adoption, diversity, and spiritual formation in profound ways. After raising three biological sons, she and her husband adopted two Indian girls, creating what she lovingly describes as twins born "not from my body, but in my heart." The adoption process—what she calls a "paper pregnancy"—required intentionality, sacrifice, and family-wide commitment. Rather than diminishing her relationship with her sons, adoption enriched their family dynamic and cultivated compassion and nurturing qualities in her boys.This conversation offers a refreshing perspective on the transformative power of motherhood, whether through biological, adoptive, or mentoring relationships. As we embrace diversity and nurture faith in the next generation, we participate in God's grand design—creating a world where every child feels represented, valued, and deeply loved.

From turning down a $10 million offer to maintaining control through dual-class shares, Sid walks us through the principles and systems that have shaped GitLab from the start.We also delve into GitLab's renowned, live, and public 2,000-page handbook—how it functions not only as documentation but also as a recruiting tool, cultural backbone, and governance mechanism.In our conversation today, we talk about the following topics:• Why Sid once cold-pitched a submarine inventor—and got hired• What led GitLab to turn down a $10M buyout and pursue an IPO• Why GitLab favors “boring solutions” by default—and avoids reinventing the wheel• The role of GitLab's live, public handbook in building transparency and trust• Why every change at GitLab must be made in the handbook first• How the handbook supports hiring, alignment, and radical transparency• GitLab's approach to decentralized decision-making• Why “customer results” sits at the top of GitLab's values hierarchy• Sid's case for open core as the future of software•How GitLab encourages informal connection in a remote-first culture—and the role of in-person meetups• And much more—Brought to you by:• Ahrefs – Get instant website traffic insights, without the noise. ⁠⁠Learn more⁠⁠. —Where to find Sid Sijbrandij:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sijbrandij/• X: https://x.com/sytses—Where to find Eric:• Newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericries.carrd.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theericriesshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ —In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(02:52) The origins of GitLab(04:15) The MVP of GitLab and how it has evolved to a DevOps platform (05:09) Sid's internships and why he chose to work with submarines after(08:57) How Sid became a submarine engineer (11:10) How Ruby sparked Sid's interest in programming (12:28) Why GitLab said no to $10M and chose YC and decided to go IPO(17:45) How GitLab kept control including granting 10x voting shares before going public(22:25) GitLab's extreme commitment to their values (28:29) GitLab's Handbook and how changes are made (33:11) How GitLab handles pushback and how the handbook builds trust (37:38) An explanation of buyer-based open core at GitLab (38:35) The challenges implementing a lean startup approach (45:26) Keeping the organization aligned: How GitLab reinforces their values (53:51) Why GitLab updates values (55:57) Why senior engineers have an easier time securing budget(57:21) Putting customers first: GitLab's value hierarchy explained(59:08) The case for decentralized decision-making—and how GitLab makes it work(1:03:24) The handbook's role in recruiting and building alignment(1:06:25) Maintaining transparency after IPO(1:10:55) The three phases of GitLab's all-remote operating policy (1:17:04) How GitLab developed its open core business model (1:20:19) The trust-building power of open source and Sid's case for open core(1:25:20) Protective governance measures GitLab helps companies take (1:29:28) How Sid has been doing on his cancer journey, and his work to help others —You can find episode references at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—Production and marketing by ⁠⁠Pen Name⁠⁠.Eric may be an investor in the companies discussed.

What happens when the narcissist doesn't just come after you—but starts poisoning your child's mind against you? And worse—what happens when the court system believes it's your fault?Www.brighteroutlookcounselling.com.au In this raw, eye-opening episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we're diving into the heartbreaking experience of narcissistic parental alienation—when the narcissist manipulates your child and weaponises them to hurt you, isolate you, and destroy your bond.Order my book Fake Love – Understanding and Healing from Narcissistic Abuse here This isn't just messy co-parenting. It's psychological warfare.  They don't co-parent. They counter-parent.We also unpack how this manipulation often gets misread in family court. Protective, loving parents—who are desperately trying to shield their kids from harm—are often accused of parental alienation, while the narcissist walks away with a smile and a custody agreement.If you've ever felt like you're being erased from your child's life by a narcissist who's playing the long game… this episode is your validation.

Today we're exploring self‑love—why it's foundational not just to wellness, but to your keto‑vegan lifestyle. In the last episode, I talked about emotional eating; in this one, I'm taking it deeper: if we don't truly love ourselves, our self‑esteem wobbles, and we're giving from an empty cup. Let's journey into raising vibration, working with the unconscious mind, and using visualisations and meditations (plus a sprinkle of hypnotherapy insight) to build unconditional self‑worth. ✨ Key Takeaways Self-love grounds you: A solid sense of self-esteem makes external triggers less impactful. Unconscious mind works in safety mode: It holds onto past fears and patterns—even in self-worth—until gently rewired. Raise your vibration daily: Use positive memories or future visualisations to lift your emotional state by small, consistent steps. Intentions + gratitude = internal shift: Journaling three things you're grateful for (or setting daily intentions) boosts self-appreciation and resilience. Be kind to your unconscious mind: Don't dig into past trauma unprepared—replace neural grooves of self‑judgment with gratitude, forgiveness, and self-compassion. Protective shield & loving-kindness meditations: You can train your mind to cleanse negativity and send compassion—even to those challenging people in your life.

Lung-protective ventilation (LPV), characterized by low tidal volumes and appropriate PEEP, is a cornerstone in managing patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, its application in patients with severe acute brain injury raises concerns. The potential for lung protective ventilation to increase intracranial pressure due to hypercapnia and elevated PEEP levels necessitates a closer examination of its safety and efficacy in this unique patient population.

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS JUNE 23 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking This week's podcast reviews the major astrological energies affecting us right now—including the ongoing global realignment of partnerships, authoritarian restrictions against individual freedoms, the transgression of previously established boundaries, and the potential of the U.S.'s involvement in war, to name a few.Since Israel's  attacks on Iran began on June 13, & the Sun's entrance into Cancer at the summer solstice on June 20 (where he joined Jupiter & Mercury there), & Mars in Virgo, the U.S. decided to join also attack Iran on June 21 as we approach the Cancer New Moon on June 25.Sensitivity is the name of the game right now, whether we overreact due to hyper sensitivity & lash out, or whether we run and hide to avoid any future pain. As the Sun & Moon conjoin at 4'08” Cancer, they both join Jupiter at 3 degrees Cancer to form a square to both Saturn & Neptune in Aries, which inserts an element of confusion into whether transgressing Iran's boundaries by dropping bombs on their nuclear facilities was at all successful.This Sun/Moon/Jupiter conjunction has lent itself to massive over enthusiasm that the “obliteration” of any nuclear threat from Iran, which may well turn out to be false. Similarly, their squares to Saturn/Neptune in Aries may highlight the hubristic nature of America's unquestioning trust in Israel's vaguely defined assessment that this threat was (or is) imminent over America's own intelligence assessment which concluded that this is currently not the case.This podcast look at the astrological energies leading up to this point where Iran has now retaliated against the U.S. base Al Udeid in Qatar located close to the Iranian border, and whether threats by Iran to actually close the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping are real or exaggerated.We explore the triggered effects of the Mars/Uranus square which perfected on June 15, and how it's brought us to this point of sudden warfare. And the effects of the Jupiter/Saturn square which has pitted old, restrictive conservatives against the young progressives a la the mythological battle between Zeus & Cronos, aka, Jupiter & Saturn. Further, we explore the meaning of the two yods, or fingers of fate, formed now since the June 20 entrance of the Sun into Cancer at the summer solstice & which will reverberate still through the upcoming Cancer New Moon at 4'08” Cancer at 3:32 a.m. PT & 6:32 p.m. on June 25. Voices--of both protestors against and adherents for war--may get louder as Mercury enters Leo on June 26, while Mercury's trine to Neptune late June 27 or early June 28, depending on your time zone, may make it easier for some to swallow as true anything from denials to complete fabrications. By the time Mercury opposes Pluto on June 29, we'll have a recurrence of the natal energy of the U.S. Sibly birth chart's 8th House Mercury opposite its 2nd House Pluto. So keep any eye what's happening by then with Congress's budget reconciliation bill currently stuck in the Senate as the GOP continues to believe that it can make tax cuts for the wealthy permanent at the expense of removing health care and more from U.S. citizens.This podcast includes how Uranus at 29-degrees of Taurus, known as the Pleiades point, may well result in metaphorical “blindness” about the potential negative results of actions taken now. At least until they become obvious in the future, since Uranus will hit this degree again not once, but twice before the end of May 2026. Will we wake up to where we've been blind to what's been going on around us and begin to “see" the reality/truth? Only time will tell…Join us for more Astro News You Can Use on another interesting podcast @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking  See you then! Namaste…

Sadly, many people don't know the difference. When you're in a healthy relationship it means caring for that person which involves loving them and being in love with them! To care for a person, also means you will protect them and do them no kind of harm. If a person is controlling you it is not love! If you're controlling or if you're a person who allows a controlling person in your life, you're both of unhealed hearts and minds! People treat you how you've taught them to treat you!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

In this episode, Ali Damron delves into the concept of neuroplastic symptoms, exploring how the brain's ability to change can lead to chronic pain, anxiety, and other unexplained physical symptoms.   She discusses the protective responses the brain creates in reaction to perceived danger and how these responses can manifest as real physical sensations. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the body-mind connection and how fear can perpetuate a cycle of symptoms.   Ali provides insights into identifying neuroplastic symptoms and offers hope for healing through awareness and understanding.   Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms can change how we understand chronic pain. The brain's ability to change is called neuroplasticity. Protective responses can create real physical symptoms. Many conditions we chase treatments for are neuroplastic. Chronic pain often has no structural cause. Emotional trauma can lead to neuroplastic symptoms. Symptoms can be driven by fear and anxiety. Understanding the body-mind connection is crucial. Breaking the symptom-fear cycle is key to healing. You're not alone; many people experience neuroplastic symptoms.

In "Lights Out: Protective Mr. Drogen," a bizarre narrative unfolds centering on a man's startling confession of taking a life and the subsequent pandemonium that erupts in its wake. The listener is immediately thrust into an unsettling situation as this individual seeks out a doctor, not for medical treatment of a physical ailment, but to unravel the profound implications of his deadly deed. Their interaction delves into the peculiar abilities the man appears to wield, powers that defy conventional understanding and venture into the realm of the extraordinary.The dialogue between the confessor and the doctor becomes a philosophical exploration of miracles, examining their dual nature – the potential for benevolent acts alongside the capacity for malevolent influence. As the story progresses, a palpable tension permeates the atmosphere, fueled by the characters' struggle to comprehend the extent of these powers and the inherent risks of manipulation and control they present. The narrative skillfully crafts a sense of unease as the implications of such extraordinary abilities begin to crystallize.The central conflict revolves around the ethical dilemmas arising from the man's confession and his apparent powers. The characters grapple with questions of responsibility, morality, and the very definition of reality in the face of the seemingly impossible. The doctor, initially a figure of scientific reasoning, is forced to confront the limitations of his knowledge as he witnesses events that challenge his understanding of the natural world. The confessed killer, on the other hand, embodies an enigma, his motivations and the source of his abilities shrouded in mystery.The story culminates in a thoughtful reflection on the inherent goodness that resides within humanity and the potential pitfalls of undervaluing this fundamental aspect of human nature.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're wrapping up a 3-part series on Zephaniah in a series we called “The Theology of Compassionate Consequences”. It may initially sound like an oxymoron – a contradiction in terms - to pair the words “compassionate” and “consequences” together, kind of like “jumbo shrimp” or “act naturally” or “climb down”. It begs the question, “If God really is unconditionally loving, then why do we have to suffer consequences at all?” Here's the deal y'all, God's parameters aren't punitive or pejorative…they are always promissory and protective. Psalm 16:5 says it best, “His boundary lines for me have fallen in pleasant places.” Alli, Dr. Howard & I are so happy you've chosen to carve out this time to hang out on the porch with us, please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible, then feel free to lean back and put your feet up. This is a safe place to lean further into the unconditional love of our Creator Redeemer. Lisa Harper's Luke Study is available here.

Send us a textAngel Henderson turns conventional wisdom about "protective" braided styles upside down in this eye-opening conversation about hair health, scalp care, and the true cost of convenience styling. The natural hair expert begins by challenging our fundamental understanding of protective styles, asking the provocative question: "What are we actually protecting?" Most of us aren't protecting our hair at all; we're protecting our time. This mindset shift sets the stage for a deep exploration of when braids help versus when they harm. Hair loss warning signs get special attention as Angel outlines exactly what to watch for: white bulbs appearing consistently around edges, persistent itching, inflammation, and redness. "When you see consistent white bulbs, especially around your hairline, sometimes that's not coming back," she cautions. Her professional experience reveals how ignoring these signals can lead to permanent conditions like traction alopecia or Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA). The conversation tackles hard truths about our beauty priorities, with Angel noting how willing we are to invest in synthetic hair while neglecting our natural crown. "You spend all that money on weave and braids, but you will not spend money on your hair," she observes. Her passion for client education shines through as she describes turning away business rather than participating in clients' hair damage cycle. Angel shares practical scalp care recommendations, including her favorite treatments, and explains why that six-week mark seems to be the sweet spot for most braided styles before they become counterproductive. For anyone wearing braids or considering them, this conversation offers the science and soul of proper hair care, emphasizing that healthy hair isn't about quick fixes but a committed journey worth taking.________________________________________________________Stay connected with Angel by following the links below: Website: Schedule an Appointment with AngelInstagram_________________________________________________________Instrumentals: @duwhop_2.0Support the showDo you have a story to share that's worth our listeners hearing, please fill out the Listener Letters Form and tell us your story!
