Silicon Bites Ep386 | 2026-08-19 | Russia cannot take Ukraine, cannot drive it to defeat. It cannot even achieve the minimal targets set by the Kremlin for a declaration of partial victory – occupation of all the Donbas. So, it is burning Ukraine's books — ten million of them since May 2026 and counting. This is not collateral damage. It is the oldest imperial policy Moscow has, if you cannot conquer, coerce and appropriate, then you erase. This time the cultural erasure is being delivered by ballistic projectiles. Millions of dollars of destructive hardware trained on the erasure of the written word. Burning books, language, identities. The Nazis burned books. Russia does the same. It claims to be fighting fascism but has itself become the instrument and character of fascism in the 21st century. A state built on aggression, illegality, hatred and erasure. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

What does it actually take to become the UK Sommelier of the Year? And how do the world's best sommeliers blind taste wine under pressure? In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina sits down with Emma Denney, the newly crowned UK Sommelier of the Year 2026 and Director of Wine at Claridge's, to go behind the scenes of elite sommelier competition, blind tasting and fine wine service. Emma takes us inside the competition - from identifying grape varieties, regions and vintages in a blind tasting, to recognising wine faults by aroma alone, tackling food and wine pairing and serving Champagne under pressure. She also explains how professional sommeliers build their tasting knowledge, read the clues in a glass and develop the confidence to make decisions quickly. But this isn't just an episode about becoming a sommelier. Emma is a brilliant guide to some of the wine world's most fascinating regions and producers. We dive into Champagne and grower Champagne, Northern Rhône Syrah and Hermitage, Jumilla Monastrell, Ningxia Riesling, Margaret River and New Zealand Pinot Grigio, with plenty of bottles and wine travel ideas to add to your list. You'll also learn what RM and NM mean on Champagne labels, why Champagne's chalk soils matter, what Coteaux Champenois is, how lees ageing and late disgorgement affect Champagne, how to recognise common wine faults such as Brett, cork taint and oxidation, and why some of the world's most exciting wines are coming from places you might not expect. So whether you're already deep into wine, studying for a qualification, improving your blind tasting or simply looking for your next bottle, region or wine trip to explore, this episode is packed with things to taste, learn and investigate.   Shownotes 02:30 – What does it take to become UK Sommelier of the Year?

Romans 11:7-24 Gods Severity (vv. 7-10) He allows them to be blinded by religion (Is. 29:10, 13) He allows them to be burdened with religion (Psalm 69:22-23) Gods Goodness (vv. 11-18) Humanity benefited from their fall Humanity blessed by their failure Rejection by the Jews Rescue for the Gentile Restoration of all who believe Gods Purpose (vv. 19-24) Abraham: The Root (Gen. 12:1-3; Rom. 4:1-12) Christ: The Vine (Jn. 15:1-8) Believing Jews and Gentiles: The Branches/The Church (Eph. 2:14-18) More To Consider Though most Jews have rejected the message of salvation in Jesus, a remnant within the total populationthe electdid obtain salvation (vv. 56). The rest were hardeneda curious term. Since the entire point of 9:3010:3 and 10:1621 is that Israel was responsible for its rejection of Gods salvation despite the prophets best efforts to call them to repentance, Paul did not mean that God determined their obstinacy. If God Himself hardened some Jews hearts so they could not believe, it makes no sense for God to say through Isaiah, I spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people who walk in the wrong path, following their own thoughts (Rm 10:21; Is 65:2). This passage from Isaiah that Paul cited goes on to castigate Israel for provoking God and repudiating His laws. Other uses of the hardening metaphor (a calcifying or callous-building effect) often make clear that hardening of the heart is a self-induced state (e.g., Mt 13:15; Mk 6:52; 8:17; 2 Co 3:14). Even the explicit statement that God hardened Pharaohs heart follows a series of events showing that Pharaoh was hardening his own heart (Ex 8:15, 19, 32; 9:7, 3435; 1 Sm 6:6; cp. Ex 9:12; 10:1; 11:10; 14:8). Therefore, though God may indeed solidify peoples resolve to reject the truth, apparently He does so because they have first resolved themselves to do so. God does not harden hearts that would otherwise have been responsive to Him. Jesus quotation of Is 6:910 made this very point (Mt 13:1415).

Devocional do dia 06/08/2026 com o tema: Dívida Que informação curiosa o texto de hoje nos traz: o sujeito fez o que era mau (até aí, nenhuma novidade), mas não como os reis anteriores. Ele foi menos mau? Teria a maldade uma escala de gravidade? Bem, há quem seja mais iníquo, mais perverso, mais vil e há quem seja menos. Porém, para efeito de condenação, pouca ou muita iniquidade não muda a pena: o salário da maldade, que Deus chama de pecado, é a morte (Rm 6.23). Então, quando a Bíblia fala do pecado e da condenação do pecador, é preciso entender que, mesmo que não nos vejamos tão maus como outros pecadores, nossa condição atual é suficiente para todos sermos, de forma justa, condenados diante de Deus. Porém, a distância que separa qualquer pecador da glória do Altíssimo não é diminuída nem aumentada pelo tipo ou quantidade de pecado. Essa separação era eterna e intransponível a todo homem, mas Deus trouxe a solução: Jesus veio para salvar o pecador. Ele é o único caminho ao Pai. LEITURA BÍBLICA: 2 Reis 17.1-2 Somos devedores, não à carne, para viver segundo a carne (Rm 8.12).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8623OMELIA SOLENNITA' ASSUNTA - ANNO A (Lc 1,39-56)di Giacomo Biffi Questa festa della Vergine Maria - che arriva nel colmo dell'estate, quando la gente è più svagata, più attenta a distrarsi, più impegnata a disimpegnarsi - è una proposta seria che ci viene fatta da parte di un Dio che non va in vacanza e in ogni tempo dell' anno, anche quando noi pensiamo poco, pensa alla nostra salvezza.Questa festa della Vergine Maria - che è la più antica tra quelle celebrate dal popolo cristiano in onore della Madre del Signore - è un invito a riflettere: un invito a riflettere non solo su di lei e sulla sua bellezza, ma anche sul nostro stesso destino: è dunque un invito ad ammirare e a sperare.STUPEFACENTE E SCONCERTANTE RIVOLUZIONE DI DIOL'avventura stupefacente di questa ragazzina ebrea - avventura che comincia nella semplicità e nell'oscurità di una povera casa, in uno sperduto paese ignoto a tutti, entro una piccola e tormentata regione della terra, e si conclude in cielo (come ci ha detto la prima lettura) al cospetto dell'universo, in un quadro dove il sole, la luna, le stelle entrano come ornamenti della regina del mondo - ci lascia senza parole: possiamo solo contemplare e adorare. Lo stesso fantasioso amore divino, che ha voluto il nostro riscatto attraverso l'incredibile abbassamento del suo Figlio unigenito, ha disposto l'incredibile esaltazione degli umili, dei quali Maria è figura e primizia. Il Crocifisso che sovrasta i nostri altari e la Madonna effigiata nelle nostre chiese sono segni dell'identico sorprendente disegno, che attraverso la sofferenza e l'avvilimento del Re della gloria ha spalancato ai piccoli le porte del Regno.Di fronte a questa vicenda, chi sa davvero riflettere è colto dallo stupore che sempre suscitano in noi le meraviglie di Dio.È lo stesso stupore, a ben guardare, che pervade il canto di riconoscenza della Vergine - il Magnificat - che abbiamo appena ascoltato.Maria è sbigottita perché Dio dalla sublimità della sua trascendenza ha guardato, ha guardato a lei, ha guardato l'umiltà della sua serva (Lc 1.48).Maria è attonita nella contemplazione di questo Dio che capovolge i valori illusori del mondo: ha disperso i superbi nei pensieri del loro cuore, ha rovesciato i potenti dai troni, ha innalzato gli umili (Lc 1, 51-52); e tutto questo non per il gusto acre e sterile di giocare alla rivoluzione permanente, ma perché alla fine trionfi la verità sulle apparenze e la misericordia arrivi in tutte le generazioni su quelli che lo temono. È lo stupore gioioso di chi con occhi profetici vede realizzato qualcosa di troppo grande e di troppo bello per essere neppure immaginato: di chi si trova coinvolto in un destino che supera ogni previsione e ogni attesa. Perciò Maria dice: L'anima mia magnifica il Signore e il mio spirito esulta in Dio mio salvatore (Lc 1.46-47).Ma allo stupore si unisce la speranza. Questo sconcertante disegno di Dio non solo ci stupisce, ma fonda anche la nostra gioia e la nostra fiducia.Il cristiano è oggi in festa, perché vede una della sua stirpe arrivata a tanta altezza di gloria.Il cristiano è oggi in festa, perché ha ricevuto la notizia di questa divina rivoluzione, cantata dal Magnificat, con la quale Dio alla fine metterà a posto tante ingiustizie, dissiperà le false grandezze, i falsi messaggi di pace, i falsi miti di liberazione che infestano questo mondo, e collocherà nella loro giusta luce i valori autentici, che oggi troppo spesso sona nascosti solo nel cuore degli umili.DIO NON LASCIA CHE L'UMANITÀ VADA PERDUTAIl cristiano oggi è in festa, perché ha la certezza che il destino della Madre di Dio è riservato anche a lui: chi saprà partecipare con la fede all'umiliazione dolorosa di Cristo parteciperà nella letizia alla glorificazione della Madonna Assunta.Questa è dunque la festa della speranza cristiana, è il giorno in cui bisogna saper levare lo sguardo e guardare in alto. E di speranza abbiamo un estremo bisogno. Noi ci avvediamo ogni giorno di più che il mondo inseguito e creato orgogliosamente da tutte le filosofie e i sistemi sociali che in questi due secoli sono andati predicando l'autosufficienza dell'uomo e la possibilità di una felicità che si riduca alla terra, è un mondo deludente, oppressivo, stravolto, disumano; o, per usare le quattro espressioni di san Paolo nella lettera ai Romani che sembrano fotografare la società dei nostri giorni, è un mondo senza senno, senza costanza, senza amore, senza misericordia (cf. Rm 1, 3 1).Tanto più nasce in noi la certezza che la nostra sopravvivenza sta tutta nelle mani del Dio che, nonostante la nostra malvagità e la nostra stoltezza, continua a guidare la storia secondo i progetti della sua bontà e della sua misteriosa sapienza.La festa dell'Assunta ci dice appunto che Dio riuscirà a salvare l'uomo dalla sua stessa insipienza.Quest'uomo, così fiero delle sue conquiste e della sua raggiunta emancipazione da ogni superiore principio, si sta distruggendo con le sue stesse mani; quest'uomo per il miraggio di una egoistica felicità individuale sta corrodendo con le sue leggi e col suo costume l'istituto familiare; quest'uomo in nome della libertà sta progressivamente asservendo e manipolando le menti, imponendo a tutti dogmi culturali e sociali senza fondamento e senza ragionevolezza: quest'uomo nelle sue disposizioni giuridiche si ritiene padrone perfino della vita umana innocente, e così implicitamente giustifica tutti i crimini della storia; quest'uomo, tutto sommato, non è una creatura né molto rispettabile né molto sensata. Per chi non ha l'abitudine di lasciarsi facilmente illudere, è difficile oggi sperare nell'uomo.Eppure noi speriamo: la visione della Vergine umile e alta, provata dal dolore ed esaltata nella gloria, nostra sorella e madre del Signore, ci dice che Dio non permetterà che vada perduta l'umanità, che egli arcanamente e indissolubilmente ha legato a sé. Dalla Vergine Maria, da questa donna che è madre di Dio, ci viene dunque il coraggio di continuare a sperare, il coraggio di continuare a vivere.

Devocional do dia 04/08/2026 com o tema: Misericórdia A origem da palavra misericórdia vem do ajuntamento do latim: miseratio + cordis, que significa coração compadecido. É alguém sair de sua posição e se lançar na mais profunda miséria do coração alheio. Certa vez, ouvi um pastor dizer: Misericórdia é Deus não nos dar aquilo que merecemos receber. Você já pensou nisso? De acordo com a Bíblia, sabe o que todo ser humano merece obter? O apóstolo Paulo é enfático ao afirmar que todos nascemos separados de Deus por causa do pecado (Rm 3.23) e que o salário do pecado é a morte eterna (Rm 6.23). Dessa forma, apresento a você o estado de miséria do coração do homem sem o Senhor. A leitura bíblica mostra que Deus age com misericórdia e, cheio de compaixão, sai de sua posição para mergulhar na miséria do coração humano. Por que somos miseráveis? Por causa de nossos pecados, das ofensas que praticamos contra ele desde sempre. LEITURA BÍBLICA: Romanos 5.6-8 Perdoa as nossas ofensas, como também temos perdoado aqueles que nos ofendem (Mt 6.12).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Devocional do dia 01/08/2026 com o tema: Alegre apesar de... Tiago, líder da igreja de Jerusalém, escreveu aos judeus dispersos pelo mundo que corriam risco de vida, perdendo seus bens, sua liberdade, seus amigos. Sua carta encorajou aqueles cristãos e vale também para nós. Mas será que o chamado para encarar a provação com alegria não seria um exagero? É importante lembrar que ser provado não é falta de fé ou imaturidade espiritual. Deus quer nos aprovar e esculpir em nós o caráter de Cristo e, para isso, recorre às mais diversas provas, das mais leves às mais pesadas.

This is the second part of three part interview with the legendary Pete Fenlon, founder of Iron Crown Enterprises, Rolemaster and Middle Earth Roleplaying, aka MERP. Last episode we talked about the founding of ICE and RM, in this episode we cover the Retooling ICE, Early ICE releases,  the 1982 breakthrough, acquiring the Middle-earth License which lead to MERP, and ICE at its zenith.  As mentioned in the previous episode due to technical issues I had to beef up the audio which makes it sound a little weird in places. If you prefer visuals, it is also released on my YouTube channel (Wolfshield Games).

 PHP Podcast – July 16, 2026 Hosts: Joe Ferguson, Sara Golemon, and Holly Schilling Joe hosts with Sarah and Holly while running on no sleep. The PHP Tech 2027 CFP opens, a fake PHP 9 pitch appears, we crown Holly the accidental main character of internals, and everyone agrees dark mode flashing white is a war crime. PHP Tech 2027 CFP Is Open (And Yes, the Year Is Right This Time) The big news kicking off the show is that the PHP Tech CFP for 2027 is live and open. You can find it over at Sessionize under php-tech-2027, and unlike a certain demo from the previous week, the date on it is actually correct. There was a brief moment where it displayed 2007, but the team fixed that rather quickly, so credit where credit is due. The crew marveled at the fact that we are somehow less than six months out from 2027, which spiraled into a conversation about kids getting learner’s permits, full beards showing up on children who were toddlers just yesterday, and whether anyone’s offspring might actually submit a talk. Helldivers came up. Freedom was spread. And there was a gentle suggestion that SoCalKid and their newly engaged fiancé should be sent the CFP URL immediately. Meanwhile, PHP Tech 2026 videos are rolling out on PHP Tech TV. There are currently 37 available with more still processing thanks to some technical and room issues at the event. Several talks are completely free, including Joe’s talk on modernizing DevOps, Kaylin’s “Modernize Your Old School Endpoints with HTMX,” and both of Ben Ramsey’s talks. Working Groups, Discord, and the People Who Actually Care The conversation turned to the internals process and Ben Ramsey’s working group proposal on the internals mailing list, which the crew encouraged everyone to actually read. The idea of giving working groups some autonomy and even decision-making power drew broad agreement as a way to produce more fully-fleshed RFCs rather than one person’s implementation of a giant feature. A recurring point of confusion is the reference to “Discord conversations” in RFCs. There is no official PHP.net Discord, but phpc.chat will get you to the Discord (and previously the bridged IRC). The PHP Internals channel is where a lot of discussion happens, though far from the only place, and there are also the PHP Foundation and new Foundation Ambassadors channels. Big appreciation went out to the moderators keeping that Discord spam-free and troll-free, with a special shout to Tiffany, who is an absolute machine at helping people, pointing them in the right direction, and posting top-tier cat pictures in the pet flexing channel. The recurring theme: decisions are made by the people who show up. Silence is acquiescence, and if you have issues, speak up. Holly famously just showed up in internals one day, started talking, and they let her stay. This Week in Internals and the Co-Scientist Show Joe wanted to highlight Artisan Build’s YouTube channel, specifically their “This Week in Internals” videos. They are fantastic recaps of what’s happening in the internals world, complete with a very light sprinkling of extremely dry comedic timing that lands perfectly. The videos break down email threads and RFCs into easily digestible summaries of what people are arguing over, then poke a little fun at the sillier arguments. A weekly recap drops regularly and it’s consistently great content for anyone curious about internals. The crew was also impressed by the host’s ability to nail every name pronunciation on what seems like the first try, which spiraled into Holly’s confession that she has a hard memory limit on names learned after kindergarten. Anyone new is simply “out of bounds.” Holly’s Fake PHP 9 Pitch: Structs, Modules, and Surfaces Holly walked through a blog post on eventuallywrong.com featuring a fake PHP 9 pitch full of flagship features she’s prototyped. It kicked off with extensions, which she discovered didn’t exist while trying to build the Longhorn app in native PHP, landing her at the top of that internals video. Next came structs, which started as an attempt to build tuples (turns out full structs were easier). They’re Swift-style value types with strong typing, and after some grumbling at Larry, she reworked things to support interfaces and traits, leaning into composition over inheritance. Modules got the PHP-style treatment: a simple module definition, a public interface declaration, and a new `internal` visibility level that lets members be accessed within the same module. No autoloader modifications required, and reflection remains the escape hatch as always. Finally, surfaces — a keyword that adds a perpendicular-to-visibility scope. A method can belong to a surface, and callers simply declare they want to use that surface of the class. Holly performance-tested it: no impact if unused, minimal impact if used. She also spent a good chunk of the show against friend classes, arguing they’re leaky, unrestricted, and if you’re going to hand out full access to your privates, you shouldn’t have marked them private in the first place. Release Management, Version Stats, and Upgrade Paths Holly is a first-time PHP 8.6 release manager alongside Matteo Beccati, with veteran Daniel Scherzer (also on 8.5) rounding out the team. She stepped down from RM in a prior election because others wanted the work — a reminder that people stepping up in open source is a rarity worth celebrating. Release management, she noted, is less a social job and more about moving data at the right time and signing things. The July 2026 PHP version stats got a thumbs up. Looking at the trends, 8.5 is clearly on the rise, 8.4 climbing slightly, 8.3 starting to trend down, and 8.2 falling harder — exactly the curve you want, with the vast majority sitting inside the support window. Joe shared that upgrading apps from PHP 7 to 8.3/8.4/8.5 has been a much easier lift than the older 7.x hops, thanks to a more consistent release cadence and better deprecation guidance. Holly pushed back on the idea that 5.6-to-7 was ever hard, while Joe pointed out the real pain came from jumping ancient 5.0/5.1 codebases straight to 7 back before Claude existed. There was also a very in-depth debugging tangent about an opcache build flag no longer being needed on 8.5. Accessibility, Dark Mode Crimes, and the JetBrains Survey The JetBrains State of PHP survey is open, and everyone should go take it — there’s even a chance to win one of five vouchers. This led to a discussion about whether JetBrains usage is being decimated by AI tooling, with Holly living almost entirely in the terminal with Claude Code these days while Joe remains loyal to PHPStorm and PyCharm. Sarah, who is going blind and is not joking about it, kicked off a passionate segment on accessibility. Test your apps with a screen reader. Respect font scaling and contrast (F0F0F0 text on white is a genuine crime). Respect the OS toggles for reduced motion, because autistic users and others depend on them and apps routinely ignore them. The crew then united around dark mode etiquette: the only reasonable default is system-selected, and the white flash between two dark-mode pages is caused by JavaScript-based theme switching instead of sane CSS selectors. It is, universally agreed, the worst. The episode closed on eye-tracking privacy (Apple Vision Pro good, Oculus terrifying), heat maps, and a laptop-camera-covering tangent that got appropriately unhinged before Joe called it on that bombshell.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 1 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Bersukacitalah dengan orang yang bersukacita, dan menangislah dengan orang yang menangis." (Roma 12:15)Renungan: Setiap orang pernah mengalami kebahagiaan. Namun kebahagiaan yang dirasakan setiap orang itu berbeda-beda. Seseorang mengartikan kebahagiaan sebagai "sensasi menyenangkan karena melihat penderitaan orang lain." Tentu saja itu pengertian yang sangat jahat tentang kebahagiaan. Meski tidak setuju dengan pengertian tersebut, pada kenyataannya bukankah kita sering mengalami hal itu? Ada banyak orang yang rasa bahagianya berkurang ketika melihat keberhasilan orang lain, sebaliknya rasa bahagianya akan bertambah ketika melihat penderitaan orang lain. Lebih parah lagi apabila kita punya prinsip "Jika saya tidak bisa memiliki sesuatu, maka orang lain juga tidak boleh mendapatkan sesuatu yang saya inginkan itu." Barangkali suasana hati seperti itulah yang dialami Kain saat persembahannya ditolak, sementara persembahan Habel diterima Tuhan. Sebenarnya faktor utama kemarahan Kain bukan karena persembahannya ditolak, tapi karena ia melihat persembahan Habel diterima. Tidak cuma iri, tapi hati Kain benar-benar panas ketika melihat Habel. Alhasil, Kain membunuh Habel yang sama sekali tidak melakukan kesalahan apapun pada dirinya! Satu-satunya "kesalahan" Habel di mata Kain adalah bahwa persembahan Habel diterima Tuhan dan persembahannya tidak! Penyakit seperti Kain, yaitu tidak rela jika melihat orang lain bahagia ini nyatanya juga menghinggapi banyak orang. Jika tidak hati-hati kita bisa terjebak juga di dalamnya. Jika tidak hati-hati kita bisa membenci orang yang lebih berhasil, orang yang lebih cantik atau tampan, orang yang lebih pintar, dan orang yang tampak lebih bahagia dari kita. Padahal, orang tersebut bisa jadi sama sekali tidak bersinggungan dengan kita. Kita sendirilah yang merasa panas hati melihat kebahagiaan mereka. Nah, bagaimana membebaskan diri dari virus berbahaya seperti itu? Kasih adalah jawabannya! Kasih memampukan kita untuk bersukacita dengan orang yang bersukacita, dan menangis dengan orang yang menangis! (Rm. 12:15). Kasih tidak cemburu. Kasih tidak bersukacita di atas penderitaan orang lain. Sebaliknya, kasih turut merasakan apa yang orang lain rasakan. Dengan demikian kunci utama hidup yang bahagia adalah hidup dalam kasih. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, penuhilah aku dengan kasih-Mu sehingga melalui kehadiranku banyak orang merasa bahagia. Amin. (Dod).

My friend Hunter Knott (UVU grad in computer science, RM) joins us to share his story growing up and starting to hear stuff about gay people (during his high school years), going on a mission (at the start of COVID, getting reassigned), and then after his mission starting to consider “he might not be straight”. Hunter talks about starting to come to terms with his sexual orientation in 2022 with a powerful journey entrée—the shock he felt—and the answer of comfort. Hunter talks about enrolling in the UVU LGBT Institute class and how helpful/spiritually uplifting it is to connect with other LGBTQ members walking this road. Hunter frames this class as the “restoration of His LGBTQ people”. Hunter talks about coming out to his parents (great experience) and his family—including his parents attending Gather. Hunter also talks about the parallels between black Latter-day Saints before 1978 and the current plight of LGBTQ members—super insightful. Hunter talks about dating women and not being able to make that work—and then dating men including his first kiss and involving his family in his dating. Hunter talks about his current steady boyfriend Will and the love/peace he is finding in his life and hopes for their future together—including feeling “called” to continue to attend church as a same-sex married couple. Thank you Hunter for being on the podcast. You are a bright, articulate, faithful, and brave man—walking a difficult road with integrity, courage, and conviction. You are a good man. You give me hope. I encourage everyone to listen/share Hunter's podcast. Links: Facebook: facebook.com/hunter.knott.2025 Instagram: @hunter_p_knott/

** Note: This is not a book bashing the Church or a list of reasons to leave. This is a book to help those who have left the Church move forward in a thoughtful and intentional way—preserving relationships along the way—and honoring those who stay in the Church ** My friend Madison Daniels (early 30s, RM, no longer LDS, future therapist) joins us to share his new book, "Letters to a Young Ex-Mormon", to help those reconstruct a thoughtful, intentional life outside of the Church—and an invitation to bring the good of their faith tradition along the way. In doing this, Madison is not dismissing the pain and anger that many who leave the Church feel. Rather, he offers letters on familiar topics showing how to navigate a new world with healthy principles, perspective, healing, and good decision-making. Neither Madison nor I are inviting people to leave the Church—but leaving is a reality. If this is your reality or others who you love and want to support, I encourage you to read/share Madison's book. You are a good man, Madison. Glad to have you on the podcast. I learned a lot from you. You work is needed in our community. Links: Madison's book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GVGS28KP Instagram Acct: @mddanielsbooks

In this episode of Clocking In: Voices of North Carolina Manufacturing, host Phil Mintz sits down with Conrad Leiva, Vice President of Ecosystems and Workforce Development at CESMII (The Smart Manufacturing Institute), to discuss how smart manufacturing is becoming more accessible to manufacturers of all sizes, no matter how long you've been manufacturing. Conrad shares how advances in affordable sensors, wireless technologies, and digital platforms are helping small and mid-sized manufacturers begin their Industry 4.0 journey without massive capital investments. He explains why smart manufacturing is about more than technology—it requires a cultural shift toward data-driven decision-making, enterprise-wide connectivity, and continuous improvement. The conversation also explores the powerful relationship between lean principles and digital technologies.

My friend Becca Moore—who had a strong testimony—bravely shares the difficult road she faces as a transgender Latter-day Saint. Being transgender and living authentically has been healing and liberating for Becca—the challenge/pain is not being accepted/supported by the Church or her family. Becca (age 61, four children, 9 grandchildren, RM from South Korea Seoul West mission, grew up in Sandy UT, BYU grad, career in banking) shares the negative impact of the Church's August 2024 transgender restrictions (see https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2024/08/24/new-lds-church-policies/) causing her to feel unsafe at Church and exposing her and other transgender members to humiliation and abuse. Becca talks about being able to attend Relief Society and how that all changed with the new restrictions and other difficult experiences. It is heartbreaking to hear. We both talk about problems with far-right political ideology that has demonized transgender folks—the same heartbreaking historical pattern repeating itself with gay/lesbian folks, blacks, Native Americans, Jews, etc. We talk about Christ's teaching and gospel principles that show us how to love and support our transgender friends. We talk about the need as a church/society to live up to Elder Rasband's invitation to support our transgender friends: “Elder Ronald A. Rasband taught that people who experience transgender feelings need to be encircled in the arms of their Savior and know they are loved. So often the Lord calls on us; He expects us to be His welcoming, loving arms. We need to encourage their friends to do the same” (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/transgender/supporting) Thank you Becca for being on the podcast and sharing your honest story. Our lack of support for you is heartbreaking. I hope we can all listen to your story and then consider what we can do in our circle of influence to follow Christ's example to love and support those on the margins like our dear transgender and non-binary friends. You are super brave to share your story. You give me hope.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 11 Juni 2026Bacaan: "..... janganlah kamu memikirkan perkara-perkara yang tinggi, tetapi arahkanlah dirimu kepada perkara-perkara yang sederhana....." (Roma 12:16)Renungan: Ketika kita bercita-cita menjadi seorang penulis, ada dua hal yang harus kita lakukan. Pertama, kita harus banyak menulis. Kedua, kita harus banyak membaca. Ya, penulis harus banyak membaca, seperti juga musisi harus banyak mendengarkan musik, sineas harus banyak menonton film, barista harus suka minum kopi, dst. Pertanyaannya, buku apa yang harus dibaca agar kita bisa menjadi penulis yang baik? Seorang penulis memberi nasihat cukup unik, la menyarankan membaca dua jenis buku: buku yang benar-benar bagus dan buku yang benar-benar jelek. Membaca buku yang sangat bagus tentu agar kita terinspirasi dan bisa membuat tulisan yang makin berkualitas. Bagaimana dengan membaca buku yang sangat jelek? Menurut penulis itu, buku yang sangat jelek juga bisa membuat kita termotivasi. "Jika tulisan sejelek itu saja ada yang mau menerbitkan, tulisan kita pasti bisa diterbitkan juga." Ada benarnya juga. Nyatanya, kita sering kali takut, bahkan putus asa karena yang kita lihat saat baru memulai sesuatu hanyalah orang-orang yang sudah ada di level sangat tinggi. Kita berhenti menulis karena tidak bisa menulis sebaik peraih Nobel Sastra. Kita berhenti menjadi musisi karena minder melihat keahlian para musisi kelas nasional bahkan internasional. Kita putus asa karena usaha yang kita rintis tidak kunjung sebesar perusahaan top. Maka, ada kalanya kita perlu juga melihat kepada hal-hal yang lebih "membumi". Bukan berarti menurunkan standar atau tak punya cita-cita tinggi. Kadang kita memang harus melihat ke atas, tapi penting juga untuk bisa melihat ke samping atau ke bawah. Keseimbangan seperti ini perlu supaya kita tidak jatuh menjadi hidup sekadar mengejar ambisi yang tak pernah habis-habisnya. Melihat ke hal-hal yang di bawah atau di sekitar, juga membuat kita bisa lebih bersyukur daripada hanya mengeluh karena kondisi kita tidak seperti orang lain. Kepada jemaat di Roma, Paulus dua kali mengingatkan mereka untuk tidak hanya memikirkan hal-hal yang tinggi (Rm. 12:3, 16), tapi mengarahkan pikiran ke hal sederhana agar tetap rendah hati. Tak ada yang salah dengan memiliki cita-cita besar, tapi jangan sampai kita lalu menjadi tak menghargai hal-hal kecil dan sederhana, karena itupun adalah berkat Tuhan untuk kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ajarilah aku untuk selalu bersyukur atas hal-hal besar dan kecil dalam hidupku karena semua itu adalah berkat-Mu yang Kau berikan untukku. Amin. (Dod).

Dan opened the session by noting that a billion-dollar Prairie farming operation had entered creditor protection -- and that nearly 40 farms were in or near distress that year. Robert Andjelic had received roughly 40 calls from farms across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and elsewhere, all with a common thread: lenders were tightening, some operators could not access input credit, and they wanted to sell land and rent it back while keeping their equipment running and their family farming. Robert completed four of those transactions. He was direct about the others: they either did not fit his land criteria or could not be executed on terms that made sense. The session poll showed roughly half the room believed the current stress is both structural and cyclical -- a hard stretch exposing cracks that were already forming. Robert provided a compressed history of farm size in Canada, from 1925 when 10,000 acres was considered enormous, through the post-2000 acceleration driven by GPS auto-steer, massive air seeders, zero-till, low interest rates after 2008, normalized leasing, and aging operators. His conclusion: one modern operator now does what five to ten farm families previously required, and that trajectory will continue. Tim Hammond placed the hardest growth window at 2,500 to 6,000 acres -- the point where a family operation transitions from one set of implements to multiple, and from family labor to hired crews with all the human resource and financial management that demands. After 6,000, Tim argued, the next logical step is to think in enterprise pods -- another 6,000 acres, another labor module -- rather than organic farm growth. Robert's position: there is no correct size. He has tenants farming 1,000 acres who are as profitable as his 30,000-acre operators. His own loan-to-value sits below 24 percent because he built over 60 years when land was cheap. Cap rate on Prairie land purchased today: 1.5 to 3 percent, maybe 3.5 if the seller needs cash. He was blunt about marketing: "A lot of producers are very good at producing but they are shit poor in marketing," and that gap -- benchmarked by MNP at roughly $70 per acre -- is a large part of what separates farms that survive downturns from those that do not. The sharpest exchange of the session came when Dallas LeDuc joined. He is the fire chief of RM 44, a small rural municipality where Robert is likely the largest landowner. Dallas had recently stopped spraying to respond to a fire on land Robert owns. He argued that absentee landlords should pay a modestly higher property tax rate -- not punitive, maybe 10 to 15 percent higher -- to fund the fire trucks, training, and equipment that local volunteers maintain and use to protect land the landlords will never physically see. Robert's counter was structural: his tenants are local and respond to fires; making tax exceptions for agriculture creates red flags with institutional lenders; and the most important thing he does for Prairie producers is not visible -- it is the 12 to 13 years and more than $50,000 he has spent flying to Toronto to sit with bank decision-makers and explain to them that agricultural lending does not work like commercial real estate. His argument: when a lender in Toronto extends patience to a distressed farm instead of foreclosing, every producer in Western Canada benefits -- and no individual operator has the leverage to make that case to the head offices the way he can. Dallas was not persuaded. He closed with the line that his great-grandfather left France in 1904 to get away from doctors and lawyers owning the land, and he is afraid that is exactly where the Prairies are heading. Key Topics Farm credit stress in Western Canada 2026: nearly 40 farms in distress; Robert Andjelic received 40 calls from operators wanting to sell and rent back; completed 4 transactions Live session poll: roughly 50 percent of audience said the current crisis is both structural and cyclical History of farm scale in Canada: 1925 to today -- from 10,000 acres enormous to 50,000-plus now common What drove post-2000 farm growth: GPS auto-steer, massive air seeders, zero-till, post-2008 low interest rates, aging operators, normalized leasing Tim Hammond's growth framework: hardest growth is 2,500 to 6,000 acres; after 6,000, think in enterprise pods Robert Andjelic's cap rate reality: Prairie land bought today yields 1.5 to 3 percent; his own LTV is below 24 percent built over 60 years "A strategy is what you say no to" -- Tim Hammond on the discipline of farm scale decisions Marketing gap: roughly $70 per acre difference between producers who market well and those who do not (MNP benchmark referenced) Absentee landlord taxation debate: Dallas LeDuc (fire chief, RM 44) vs. Robert Andjelic -- rural community burden vs. capital market access argument Robert Andjelic's Toronto bank work: 12-13 years, $50,000+ in meetings, translating agriculture to commercial real estate lenders Kevin Hursh on retiring farmers: those who rail against big farms all their lives tend to sell to the biggest neighbour when retirement comes; breaking land into smaller parcels would give next-generation operators a chance Robert's macro thesis: higher commodity prices incoming due to Strait of Hormuz disruption, fertilizer supply constraints, and a potential super El Nino cycle Family farm vs. corporate model: Tim Hammond -- corporate farms must learn family commitment; family farms must learn corporate structure; the marriage of the two is the future Connect Kevin Hursh -- Western Producer columns; hursh.ca Robert Andjelic -- farmland.ca Dallas LeDuc -- Bunnyhug Farmers Podcast; TikTok growingthefuture.ca Register for the Convergence Conference at convergence.ag and stay updated by subscribing to the Growing the Future Podcast at growingthefuturepodcast.ca.

My friend Dilyn Eyerly (student at Utah Valley University, age 31, RM, active LDS) joins us to share her story. Dilyn talks about growing up and realizing she was not straight and navigating that with herself, her family and the Church. Dilyn talks about her decision to serve a mission and the suicidal ideation she dealt with and how she was able to finish her mission. Dilyn talks about “Godly Anger” and coming out “fine I'm Bi”—and how coming out (“letting people in”) helped her and her journey with the Church. Dilyn talks about not going to Church but attending the UVU LGBTQ Institute class—and how that class (and all the supportive Institute Teachers)—eventually created a desire to go back to Church and the Temple—including telling her Bishop and Stake President “I'm a Bisexual Queer Woman and I'm done hiding, especially at Church.” Thank you Dilyn for your courage to come on the podcast and share your story. You are super brave and courageous. I learned so much from you story on how to better love and support LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. You helpful me further realize that fulling owning one's identity and having supportive people in one's life can be the road back to the Church. You are awesome. And I wish the UVU LGBTQ Institute class could scale church-wide so more could have the love, understanding, help connecting to God/Jesus, support that are in the class. Thank you for all the UVU Institute teachers who are supporting queer Latter-day Saints. Links: Dilyn's Instagram: @dilyndidwhat

Antonia Barnett McIntosh is a Tāmaki-based Composer, performer, sound artist, editor and curator. Her multidisciplinary practice often seeks out various modes of connection through collaboration. Collaborating between the threshold spaces of speech/music, performance/rehearsal, composition/writing. Drawing connections between mediums, finding this  mutual thread between artistic outputs to build upon. Often working with musicians, dancers, poets, visual artists, and Filmmakers.  In her current exhibition at RM, A Ponder of Transported Local Delicacies Barnett McIntosh presents a beautiful sound installation which comprises captured moments of field recordings, and speech. Applying this musical thought to speech, that approaches speech as an instrument in istelf—tunning into its inherent musicality. Reflecting on this in-between state of the live and the documented dwelling in one's mind and body.  The sound work itself is dispersed across four channels, creating a dynamic sonic landscape that morphs and shifts, as one moves around the space. Alongside the sound installation Barnett McIntosh offers this secondary mode of documentation within the show text, through a piece of writing, by writer Lisa Samuels. Samuels will also be involved in a collaborative activation of the gallery space with Barnett McIntosh, through a series of performances. Emphasising the active liveliness of the gallery space and the circulative artistic discourse.  Maya caught up with Antonia about the show, as well as her overall practice.
