On this episode, we will be talking about Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, why they're both biblically incorrect, how their church leaderships lie/manipulate/gaslight/conceal things from their church goers and the general public (just in order to obtain more power, money, and control), and how Reformed Theology's really going to be your best bet faith-wise if you want to be an actual, biblical Christian. Trash me if you guys want, this is what's biblically correct. I do this for God, not any of you. So go ahead and listen to a different podcast if you can't handle the truth. Safe travels. To the rest of you, you're on the narrow path, you're biblically correct, and never be afraid to call out pagans dressed as Christians. XOXO--https://noblegoldinvestments.com

Dear Xochitl and Jack,I recently found myself in an awkward situation on a flight. The passenger next to me seemed to have no qualms about invading my personal space. Not only did they let their arm spill into my seat area, but they also seemed completely oblivious to the discomfort they were causing. How can I address this issue without turning a cramped flight into a confrontation at 30,000 feet?Sincerely,Squished in Seat 23B"Qualms" refers to feelings of doubt, hesitation, or uneasiness, especially when it comes to moral or ethical considerations. If someone has "no qualms" about something, it means they have no reservations or hesitations about doing it, often implying a lack of concern for potential negative consequences or ethical considerations. In the context of your question, if a passenger has "no qualms" about invading personal space, it means they are doing so without any apparent hesitation or consideration for the discomfort it may cause."Invading personal space" refers to encroaching upon the physical or psychological space that individuals consider their own. This space varies between cultures and individuals, but it generally includes an invisible boundary around a person that, when breached, can cause discomfort or unease. Physical invasion of personal space might include standing too close, touching without permission, or, as in your scenario, allowing body parts to spill over into an adjacent seat on an airplane. It's a social norm to respect personal space to ensure the comfort and well-being of those around us. When this space is invaded, it can lead to feelings of discomfort or frustration."Confrontation" refers to a face-to-face meeting or conflict, often characterized by disagreement, argument, or even a hostile encounter. In interpersonal situations, a confrontation occurs when individuals address a problem, disagreement, or issue directly with each other. Confrontations can be assertive and constructive, aiming to resolve conflicts and improve understanding, or they can be confrontational in a negative sense, involving hostility and aggression.Podcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-19-squished-in-seat-23b/Social Media:WeChat account ID: atozenglishpodcastFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

This week NML gives a brief mid-tournament update from the Mutua Madrid Open, Masters 1000. Alcaraz is looking phenomenal, setting up a huge matchup with Zverev, who has cruised into the R16. Are you having trouble with knowing the difference between a few players when you watch on TV? So are we! Hopefully one day these guys will stop wearing the same 1 or 2 shirts so they don't look identical on the court. Fan favorite (hah), Holger Rune, was center of some drama again in a match with Davidovich Fokina. This time, we don't fault Holger too much for the chaos that ensued on center court in Madrid. Keith goes in on chair umpires across the tour after witnessing, yet again, more mistakes and mismanagement of atmosphere.

In Episode 36 of the Write the Damn Book Already podcast, Megan Tady (author of Superbloom, May 2023, Zibby Books) and I chatted about the journey to her debut novel. INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS Where the idea for Superbloom came from (Meg always thought her first book would be nonfiction) Her writing process: how much of the story did she know when she started versus what had to come as she was writing How many years this book took in total to write (and how many agents said “no” before one---who initially said no---said yes!) How Meg navigated the writing/edits while raising two young kids The value of a writing group (plus, how to find a great one and how to “break up” with one, when necessary) What keeps Meg most invested and interested in the story she's writing (even when she feels a bit stifled) Her overall goal as an author and what keeps her moving forward (it's not about having the best reviews) What she's most excited and nervous about when it comes to the book launch Her favorite writer's resources ABOUT MEGAN Megan Tady is a writer and editor who runs the company Word-Lift. When she's notscrutinizing copy, she can be found stocking her free neighborhood library, challenginganyone to a dance-off, or stewing over how Portlandia stole all of her jokes.
