For 2 decades, a CIA project ran secret mind control experiments on unsuspecting Americans. Many believe their quest for human behavior modification never truly ended — it only changed its name and went underground. Project MKUltra, active from 1953 to 1973, utilized LSD, electroshock therapy, hypnosis, and total isolation in tests tied to more than 80 institutions. While the program was officially designed to counter Soviet brainwashing, it resulted in the testing of dangerous tactics on prisoners, soldiers, and civilians—often without their knowledge or consent. But we may never know the true depravity of its medical abuses: before the program was exposed, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered the destruction of most records from MKUltra.

He and Carrie (his wife of 40 years) have raised four awesome children and are now embarking on the grandparent journey. Jim works as the director of marketing at Van Ladder Bucket Trucks, and in the last few years has written two novels--A Kingdom's Quest and CRUSHED. This story features Jim driving a bucket truck through the mountains, a task that quite frankly terrifies him, but he finds someone in even greater need of help on this journey.
On the heels of one of Jesus' prayers, he extends an amazing invitation for his followers to find rest. We can grow weary in every aspect of life: physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. We can also grow weary spiritually. We can grow weary even in prayer.

I recorded this episode, wrapped in a duvet at a friend's house - you can hear my voice still finding its morning register. I'm away from home seeing friends and family. Understanding my intentions for being here resonates with the question I'd love to explore today: what is it I'm calling in by being here?It's a question with layers - geographical and existential, practical and profound.In this episode, I explore:How we might recognise what we've called into our lives, both consciously and unconsciously, and how to hold that awareness without falling into self-criticism or toxic positivityThe difference between feeling overwhelmed by fullness and recognising the value in what's arrivingRumi's wisdom from 'The Guest House' and what it means to welcome everything as a guideMy curious relationship with manifestation, and why I prefer thinking about clear intentions and trusting our capacity to care for ourselves through whatever arisesWhether creation begins with thoughts or feelings (spoiler: I think my body knows before my head catches up)The thread of gratitude running through it all, and why noticing what we're grateful for helps rewire our negativity biasI also share details about the Quest for Gratitude - a free 21-day practice beginning Thursday February 26th, 7pm (UK), with a gathering on Zoom.

Os Espíritos esclarecem que nenhuma dor é eterna e que as dificuldades são provas transitórias, destinadas ao crescimento do Espírito. O desânimo e a revolta podem agravar o sofrimento, enquanto a confiança em Deus e a resignação fortalecem a alma para superar os desafios.✨ Um ensinamento que consola, orienta e reforça que sempre existe esperança, mesmo nos momentos mais difíceis.

Ethereal Encounters Unveiled welcomes Richard Anderson, LIVE, Thursday, Feb. 12th, 2026 at 5 pm ET TOPIC: From Earth to Meta Mars: The Cost of Becoming More Than Human About the author Richard Anderson is a San Jose State University alumnus with a master's degree in microbiology. His studies also emphasized molecular biology and biochemistry. Several years after earning his MA, Richard obtained a Clinical Laboratory Bioanalyst license. In subsequent years, he worked in various administrative and technical management roles in laboratory settings, beginning his first assignment as a clinical laboratory director in 1993. In 2006, he began working in a reference laboratory for Quest Diagnostics; he continued working in various Quest laboratories as a laboratory administrative director and technical director. Shortly before the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Richard began exploring research areas that had caught his attention during his studies and employment years. As a result of his research, new information came to light that sparked his enthusiasm. As the pandemic engulfed the world, research and writing his first non-fiction book, "The Evolution of Life," filled the voids left by relative isolation. The completion of this book prompted the creation of his fiction series, "Outbound," looking into the future of humanity off-planet. Richard lives with his wife in California's south San Francisco Bay area, close to their children and grandchildren.

Transcript:Sv: Det var en kall vintermorgon när Elof, Signe och Gustav stod vid den svenska kusten.En: It was a cold winter morning when Elof, Signe, and Gustav stood by the Swedish coast.Sv: Det gamla vikingaskeppet reste sig från isen och snön som ett bortglömt monument.En: The old viking ship rose from the ice and snow like a forgotten monument.Sv: Trät var grått och mossigt, och skrovet var delvis begravt i en snödriva.En: The wood was gray and mossy, and the hull was partly buried in a snowdrift.Sv: Ryktena sa att det fanns en skatt ombord.En: Rumors said there was treasure on board.Sv: En skatt som skulle vara förbannad.En: A treasure that was said to be cursed.Sv: Elof hade alltid varit fascinerad av nordisk mytologi.En: Elof had always been fascinated by Norse mythology.Sv: Hans ögon lyste av äventyr när han såg skeppet.En: His eyes shone with adventure when he saw the ship.Sv: Han ville verkligen hitta skatten, kanske mest för att imponera på Signe.En: He really wanted to find the treasure, perhaps mostly to impress Signe.Sv: Signe stod bredvid honom, skeptisk, men med en hemlig värme i hjärtat för Elof.En: Signe stood beside him, skeptical, but with a secret warmth in her heart for Elof.Sv: Gustav, alltid den förnuftiga, skakade på huvudet.En: Gustav, always the sensible one, shook his head.Sv: "Vi borde vända tillbaka", sa han.En: "We should turn back," he said.Sv: "Vädret blir värre, och tidvattnet stiger snart."En: "The weather is getting worse, and the tide will rise soon."Sv: "Vi måste ge det ett försök", insisterade Elof.En: "We have to give it a try," insisted Elof.Sv: "Det kan vara vår enda chans att bevisa att skatten finns."En: "This may be our only chance to prove the treasure exists."Sv: Skeppet var gammalt och tyst, som om det vaktade gamla hemligheter.En: The ship was old and silent, as if it guarded ancient secrets.Sv: De vandrade försiktigt runt på däcket, försiktiga för att inte väcka någon slumrande förbannelse.En: They walked carefully around on the deck, careful not to awaken any slumbering curse.Sv: Plötsligt skrek Signe till.En: Suddenly, Signe shouted.Sv: "Titta på det här!En: "Look at this!"Sv: ", sa hon och pekade på något som glimmade under snön.En: she said, pointing at something gleaming under the snow.Sv: Det var en märklig artefakt, dekorerad med vikingasymboler.En: It was a strange artifact, decorated with Viking symbols.Sv: När de lyfte den, blev vinden starkare och himlen mörkare.En: As they lifted it, the wind grew stronger and the sky darker.Sv: Gustav tittade oroligt på stormmolnen.En: Gustav looked worriedly at the storm clouds.Sv: "Vi måste gå nu", sa han med en röst som inte tålde motsägelse.En: "We have to go now," he said with a voice that didn't tolerate disagreement.Sv: Elof stod där med artefakten i händerna.En: Elof stood there with the artifact in his hands.Sv: Hans dröm var inom räckhåll, men något inom honom sa att Gustav hade rätt.En: His dream was within reach, but something inside him told him that Gustav was right.Sv: "Okej", sa han motvilligt.En: "Okay," he said reluctantly.Sv: "Vi lämnar skeppet."En: "We're leaving the ship."Sv: De sprang tillbaka över det hala däcket, vinden kämpade mot dem som om skeppet inte ville släppa dem.En: They ran back across the slippery deck, the wind fighting against them as if the ship didn't want to release them.Sv: När de nådde stranden kände de hur tidvattnet börjat stiga.En: When they reached the shore, they felt the tide starting to rise.Sv: Trion tog sig till säkerhet, och när de såg tillbaka, var skeppet nästan helt omslutet av vattnet.En: The trio made it to safety, and when they looked back, the ship was almost entirely enveloped by the water.Sv: Elof höll fortfarande artefakten.En: Elof still held the artifact.Sv: Det hade varit nära, men de hade klarat sig.En: It had been close, but they had made it.Sv: Signe log mot Elof.En: Signe smiled at Elof.Sv: "Du riskerade mycket för detta", sa hon.En: "You risked a lot for this," she said.Sv: "Men vi är alla oskadda."En: "But we're all unharmed."Sv: "Jag förstår det nu", sa Elof med en nyvunnen respekt för sina vänner.En: "I understand that now," said Elof with a newfound respect for his friends.Sv: "Vissa skatter är inte värda risken."En: "Some treasures aren't worth the risk."Sv: Gustav nickade, och de började gå tillbaka genom snön, med en gemensam känsla av lättnad och något mer mellan Elof och Signe.En: Gustav nodded, and they started walking back through the snow, with a shared sense of relief and something more between Elof and Signe.Sv: När vinden slutligen mojnade tittade de på artefakten, osäkra på vad de verkligen hade hittat.En: When the wind finally died down, they looked at the artifact, unsure of what they had truly found.Sv: Men en sak var säker: vännernas säkerhet var skatten som inte kunde mätas med guld.En: But one thing was certain: the safety of friends was a treasure that couldn't be measured with gold.Sv: Och någonstans i stormens avtagande mäktade trion med fler känslor än ännu en episod av vinterkylan.En: And somewhere amid the waning storm, the trio managed more emotions than just another episode of winter's chill.Sv: De lämnade stranden, inte rika av guld, men rika av något mycket bättre.En: They left the beach, not rich with gold, but rich with something much better.

Ačkoliv je propouštění, zavírání studií a rušení projektů v posledních letech běžnou součástí koloritu herního průmyslu a komunita si na ně už stihla zvyknout, nedávné zrušení remaku Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time mnohé přesto zamrzelo. Jarda, Šárka a Lukáš se proto rozhodli, že si tuhle bolest trochu odžijí veřejně a zavzpomínají na další velké hry, které, jako José, nikdy nepřijely.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it really means to be “in the commitment business.”I share some stories about yoga classes, Spiritual Mentoring, and my Sweetie's life as a professional musician to illustrate the difference between being committed to the idea of change -vs- taking the gosh-dang consistent actions that actually create it!We'll look at human nature, the psychology of commitment, and how places like Planet Fitness - and personal items, like unused guitars, and dusty yoga mats - reveal what we're committed to (or not). Ha!I also invite you to take an honest look at your life and ask, “What am I committed to this year?”, so you can align your time, energy, and resources with what truly matters most.You'll hear one of my favorite quotes about commitment (it's a good one!), learn why I always say, “The Universe can't get behind wishy-washy”…And we get to consider the magical notion that when we fully commit - Providence often opens unforeseen doors, and provides people, support, and opportunities that we never could have planned for or dreamed of. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.She's has been a yoga teacher since 1999, and a Thai Yoga Massage practitioner since 2008.

On a snowy Black Friday in November 2024, a 22-year-old experienced hiker from Quebec set out alone to climb one of the most remote peaks in New York's Adirondack Mountains—a challenging 18-mile journey he expected to complete in a single day. When he didn't return as planned, what followed was one of the most extensive search operations in Adirondack history, involving dozens of elite forest rangers battling brutal winter conditions for over a week. This is the story of Leo Dufour, a university student studying to become a teacher who had already conquered 32 of the legendary 46 High Peaks, and the extraordinary efforts to find him in a wilderness that doesn't always give up its secrets. It's a reminder that even the most prepared among us are never more than one wrong turn away from the unforgiving power of the mountains. 00:00 Introduction to Disaster Strikes 00:42 Leo Dufour's Quest in the Adirondacks 03:00 The Challenge of Allen Mountain 07:09 The Search and Rescue Efforts 12:47 The Aftermath and Lessons Learned 24:37 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ References: "New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Statement on Recovery of Missing Canadian Hiker Leo DuFour."

In this conversation, David Bross shares his unique journey from being a director of photography to woodworking and app development. He discusses the creation of his free iPhone app Digilog, which simulates Kodak film looks, and his philosophy of open-source software and teaching the next generation of filmmakers. David walks us through the technical challenges behind the Digilog app (free in the App Store here), from translating his DaVinci Resolve color grading workflow into code, to navigating Apple's app review process which rejected the app 15 times before approval. He also talks about sourcing rare Kodak CCD sensors to revisit the Digital Bolex project, not as a revival but as a stepping stone toward something bigger: building custom, artisanal cameras shaped by personal needs rather than the technological race. Along the way, he shares a candid take on why he believes modern cameras have reached a point of visual uniformity — and why that's a problem worth solving.

What happens when passion meets structure, and the right niche changes everything? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I sit down with Matthew Brandt, founder of Tactical Retreats, retired law enforcement officer, Navy veteran, and retreat leader creating life-changing experiences for veterans and first responders. Matthew shares his real, behind-the-scenes journey of launching retreats with heart, and learning (sometimes the hard way) how clarity, positioning, and niching down create momentum. You'll hear how: ▪️ His first retreat barely filled, then a single shift led to 75 women on a waitlist in one week ▪️ Niching within a niche unlocked demand, confidence, and sustainability ▪️ Trauma-informed retreat design is not optional, it's essential ▪️ Listening to your audience can radically transform your business ▪️ A small, boutique retreat model can scale into international retreats and property ownership Matthew also shares deeply human stories from the retreat space, from women arriving terrified and ready to leave… to sitting around the fire hours later saying, "I don't want to go home." We talk about leadership, safety, trust, resilience, and why passion alone is not enough, systems are what allow your mission to grow. This episode is a must-listen for retreat leaders who: ▪️ Feel called to do meaningful work ▪️ Want proof that strategy and heart can coexist ▪️ Are ready to refine their niche and scale responsibly ▪️ Believe retreats should heal, not create more trauma

Can you really deliver speed, quality, and cost in construction—without tradeoffs? In this episode of Construction Genius, Eric Anderton sits down with Ryan Teicher, CEO of REDCOM Design & Construction, to unpack how a fully integrated design-build model eliminates silos, accelerates delivery, and aligns teams around client outcomes. Ryan explains how bringing architecture, engineering, estimating, and construction under one roof leads to faster decisions, fewer conflicts, and better cost control. The conversation dives into early design consulting as a risk filter, sales as true client advocacy, maintaining client intent from concept through construction, and why strong leaders must be willing to walk away from the wrong projects. This is a practical, no-BS conversation about design-build done right, along with CEO-level insights on leadership, culture, and scaling a construction company.

Myths and legends are a massive part of our culture. We have the original versions of them that still stay with us, mostly intact, but because of how important and well known they are we're always getting new versions of them that are changed and added to to reflect our contemporary culture. Big stories like King Arthur, Robin Hood, Beowulf, the Odyssey, The Journey to the West and many other stories keep getting new versions in our modern world. The Greek myths beings quite old, very detailed, and well written get a LOT of different versions, which has been happening since antiquity. Even the Romans like Ovid revised them, his versions were made to reflect his own cultural and political realities. Most recently there's the Nolan version of the Odyssey coming out. Some are annoyed at the various non-white people in certain roles, but that's a trend that's been popular for about 30-40 years or so and simply reflects our modern diverse cultural and ethnic makeup. The only thing that irks me are the stupid costumes and reinterpretation of the armour, but also the silly commentary concerning it- on one hand you have supporters of the crude fantasy styles in the film and on the other supporters of ancient Mycenaean styles. The thing is though that Ancient Greeks ALWAYS depicted their mythological figures armoured like hoplites (or naked), with Corinthian helmets. That wasn't a case of them showing the figures in contemporary fashions either- hundreds of years after those styles were dead they were still used for the characters. So there was never a need to reinterpret them OR imagine them in archaic "historically accurate" styles, they should always be shown as classical Greek warriors. /rant Beowulf shows up in various ways, there are direct and indirect interpretations. One of the interesting aspects is that people use the monster, Grendel, for their indirect interpretations- Everything from Friday the 13th (the first one), to Frankenstein (at least as an inspiration to the various adaptations), Jaws, The 13th Warrior, Split Second (a monster in futuristic flooded London), you could even include Predator and Alien. Journey to the West is a very important story to many cultures in eastern Asia because it's tied closely with Buddhism and the spread of that religion on the continent. It was important to me when I grew up with endless TV repeats of the dubbed Japanese series Monkey Magic, starring Masaaki Sakai, Japanese pop sensation (The Spiders), and perennial charismatic TV personality. It featured comedy, endless fighting with demons and monsters, and the retelling of various stories. This version was so popular that people have remade it rather than just the myth itself, and it's inspired films and TV shows with the costumes it used for the characters. Many others now know the myth through the Dragon Ball anime and Manga, with Goku as the Monkey King. Disney's anthro version of Robin Hood had a gigantic impact on the creation of furry culture. The King Arthur myth, focussing on the heroic journey of a random, scruffy orphan into a prophesied king of a nation shows up everywhere in fantasy and Scifi, examples include Star Wars and the fantasy series The Belgariad and Malloreon by David Eddings and many others, including more direct versions like Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail, Disney's Sword in the Stone, and the fantastic Excalibur. The Jewish myth of David and the giant Goliath show up over and over in things too because of the focus on an underdog who triumphs despite huge odds and then goes on to become a famous ruler. What are your fave myths that keep on inspiring popular culture (directly and indirectly), and what is your fave version? This week we have another best off from Gunwallace and this time it's - Ripping off King Arthur - We're all preparing for the big event here with this theme. It's a weird mixture of a Rocky theme, fantasy epic, and 8 bit video game music… as if were were about to see a pixelated, medieval fantasy themed version of Mortal Kombat! The fight showdown to end all fight showdowns! - I chose this because it mentions King Arthur, a mythical figure. Originally from: Quackcast 451, 4th of Nov, 2019.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Desert Quest: Seeking Truth in the Negev's Embrace Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2026-02-09-08-38-20-he Story Transcript:He: בשעות השחר המוקדמות, כשהשמש מתחילה לעלות מעל הרי המדבר של הנגב, נדב הסתובב לבד בקיבוץ.En: In the early hours of dawn, as the sun began to rise above the desert mountains of the Negev, Nadav wandered alone in the kibbutz.He: הוא הלך בין עצי השקד שעמדו בפריחה מלאה לכבוד ט"ו בשבט, אך התחושות שלו היו שונות מהשמחה האופפת את חגיגת הטבע.En: He walked among the almond trees that stood in full bloom for Tu BiShvat, but his feelings were different from the joy surrounding the celebration of nature.He: אלי, חברו הטוב ביותר, נעלם במהלך טיול קבוצתי במדבר.En: Eli, his best friend, had disappeared during a group trip in the desert.He: אף אחד לא ידע מה קרה, ולא היו סימנים.En: No one knew what happened, and there were no signs.He: הנהגת הקיבוץ ביקשה לשמור על העניין בשקט, אך נדב הרגיש חובה למצוא את אלי.En: The kibbutz leadership asked to keep the matter quiet, but Nadav felt an obligation to find Eli.He: נדב היה צעיר סקרן.En: Nadav was a curious young man.He: תמיד רצה למצוא תשובות לשאלות הקשות.En: He always wanted to find answers to difficult questions.He: הוא ידע שעליו לפעול.En: He knew he had to act.He: הוא החליט לבדוק באזורי המדבר שמסביב ולקבל מידע נוסף מהמנהיגים.En: He decided to search the surrounding desert areas and get more information from the leaders.He: המדבר היה רחב ידיים ושקט.En: The desert was vast and silent.He: רוח קרירה של חורף ליטפה את פניו כשהוא הלך, מחפש רמזים.En: A cool winter breeze caressed his face as he walked, searching for clues.He: החול המלוח חשף אבנים ופירות יבשים של צמחים עקשנים.En: The salty sand revealed stones and dried fruits of stubborn plants.He: נדב נזכר כיצד אלי דיבר על חיבור לאדמה ולמשמעות העמוקה שלו.En: Nadav remembered how Eli spoke about the connection to the land and its deep meaning.He: הוא נכנס לתוך המחשבות, אך לא איבד תקווה.En: He delved into his thoughts but did not lose hope.He: בערב, לאחר חיפוש ממושך, חזר נדב לקיבוץ.En: In the evening, after a lengthy search, Nadav returned to the kibbutz.He: בבטן מלאת תחושת כישלון, הוא הסתובב בין הבתים הישנים.En: With a stomach full of a sense of failure, he wandered among the old houses.He: לפתע, מבטו נתקל בדלת עץ קטנה, מוסתרת בין השיחים.En: Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a small wooden door, hidden among the bushes.He: הוא פתח אותה ונכנס לחדר קטן, שבו מצא כמה פתקים שהשאיר אלי.En: He opened it and entered a small room, where he found several notes left by Eli.He: הפתקים דיברו על רצון לחיפוש עצמי.En: The notes spoke of a desire for self-discovery.He: חיפוש אחר קשר עמוק יותר עם האדמה וההיסטוריה שלה.En: A search for a deeper connection with the land and its history.He: נדב הבין שאלי עזב באופן מכוון, מחפש את דרכו בעולם.En: Nadav realized that Eli had left intentionally, searching for his own path in the world.He: כאשר סיים לקרוא, נדב הרגיש הבנה חדשה.En: When he finished reading, Nadav felt a new understanding.He: לא תמיד חייבים לשקוע בדאגות כדי למצוא את המשמעות.En: One does not always have to sink into worries to find meaning.He: לעיתים, לצאת לחיפוש אישי זה מה שמביא את האמת והקירבה למקום שבו אנו נמצאים.En: Sometimes, embarking on a personal journey is what brings truth and closeness to the place where we are.He: כך, בלב המדבר, כאשר השמש שוקעת והקור חודר לעצמות, נדב חזר אל הקיבוץ בידיעה חדשה בלבו.En: Thus, in the heart of the desert, as the sun set and the cold penetrated his bones, Nadav returned to the kibbutz with new knowledge in his heart.He: הוא למד לא לפחד מלפגוש את הלא נודע.En: He learned not to fear meeting the unknown.He: העולם הוא מראה של הנשמה, והחיפושים שלנו הם חלק בלתי נפרד מהמסע של חיינו.En: The world is a reflection of the soul, and our searches are an inseparable part of the journey of our lives.
