Podcasts about Recognition

At 15, alone in Spain, he woke into sleep paralysis that felt like an eviction from his body. A black clawed hand hovered over his face, a shadow poured across the floor, and a voice spoke two chilling words: “The twins.” What followed was a relentless pattern: crushing chest pain, icy knives between the ribs, and the sense of his soul being pulled free. By day he felt watched on sun-blasted streets; by night, the dark moved. Years later in London, the Shadows evolved. The paralysis returned with graphic visions no one should see—scenes so precise they felt like memory. Doctors said stress. He knew better. The figures appeared in mirrors and windows, bending the light itself. One night he turned the mirror into a battlefield and said, “You can't have me.” The real haunting blinked—and stepped back. Was it curiosity? Recognition? Or something older, trying to understand the living? It's a reminder that sometimes, the things in the dark aren't here to harm you… they just want to see if you'll look back. #ghoststories #truestory #realhaunting #shadowpeople #sleepparalysis #hauntedhouse #paranormalexperience #supernatural #creepyencounters #beingfollowed #occult #unexplained Love real ghost stories?

The Muslim Brotherhood: Founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna in Egypt. Described as a decentralized, global movement using both peaceful and violent means to infiltrate societies. Hirsi Ali and Cruz advocate for its designation as a terrorist organization in the U.S. 4. The Red-Green Alliance: A term used to describe the alliance between radical Islamists (green) and Marxist/communist groups (red). Hirsi Ali warns that this alliance is strategically dangerous and aims to undermine Western democratic institutions. 5. Sharia Law and Its Implications: Hirsi Ali outlines the oppressive nature of Sharia law, especially toward women and LGBTQ individuals. She warns of the potential consequences if Islamist ideologies gain influence in Western societies. 6. Islamist Influence in Europe and the U.S.: Hirsi Ali and Cruz discuss the rise of Islamist influence in European cities and the potential for similar developments in the U.S. They express concern over political figures like Zohran Mamdani and Ilhan Omar, suggesting they represent the Red-Green alliance. 7. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria: Cruz and Hirsi Ali highlight the mass murder of Christians by Boko Haram and other Islamist groups.

Key PointsRod describes his transformation from opioid addiction as "night and day" explaining that he now has hope, a house, and family whereas previously he had nothing.Medical complications began in 2015 when Rod developed gallstones stuck in his pancreatic duct, leading to gallbladder removal surgery followed by seven months of hospitalization with fentanyl, lauded, or morphine administered every four hours.Hospital discharge resulted in doctors prescribing 250-500 pills at a time with instructions to return for more if needed, leading Rod to take twice the recommended dosage without experiencing withdrawal symptoms.Rod died on the operating table during April 2015 surgery with doctors calling his children to say goodbye, but he survived and spent another seven months in the hospital bed receiving intravenous drugs every four hours.Five years of cycling between hospital admissions and discharges followed, with Rod spending 15 months out of two years hospitalized, yet no doctor ever suggested he might be addicted to the medications being administered.Recognition of addiction never occurred to Rod during this period, as he genuinely believed he was sick and had no awareness of his dependency on opioids.A friend's suggestion to try marijuana came after Rod's girlfriend left and he had deteriorated to 150 pounds, appearing gaunt and pale, despite his initial 35-year abstinence from cannabis due to anti-drug beliefs.Cannabis immediately eliminated the nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that characterized Rod's opioid withdrawal symptoms, which doctors had been misdiagnosing as pancreatitis and treating with more opioids.Additional health improvements from cannabis use included elimination of atrial fibrillation, cessation of cigarette smoking, and complete sobriety from alcohol since 2014.Rod's lowest point involved suicidal ideation until his two-year-old granddaughter sat on his lap and fell asleep, making him realize he couldn't leave her to deal with his death.Multiple family members and friends have died from opioid-related overdoses, including his best friend's son from heroin in 2015, a cousin from fentanyl-laced cocaine on Christmas morning, and two nieces currently struggling with methadone or heroin addiction.Transition from opioids to cannabis occurred overnight without difficulty, and Rod has not required hospitalization since beginning cannabis use, contrasting sharply with his previous constant medical interventions.Rod argues that cannabis serves as a "gateway drug" away from harmful substances toward better health, citing his own experience and noting that marijuana withdrawal causes only temporary irritability without life-threatening complications.All of Rod's current doctors are aware of his cannabis use and none have advised him to stop, though they have recommended against alcohol consumption, suggesting medical professionals recognize cannabis benefits despite legal restrictions.

We live in a world that often celebrates the finish line, the degree, the title, the job, the house. But the truth is, real success doesn't happen when you arrive somewhere. It happens in the process of getting there. When I think back on my own journey, it wasn't a straight path. There were setbacks, long nights, and moments of doubt. But looking back, I see that every challenge prepared me for the next season. The process taught me patience, faith, and discipline, the things that truly matter when you finally reach where you're headed. So if you're still on the way, keep going. The waiting, the working, the lessons, they all count. Don't rush the process trying to get to the finish line. Every step is building you into the person you're meant to be. Because real success isn't just about arriving. It's about growing into the kind of person who's ready when you do. In this episode, I take a moment to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month and those whose strength continues to inspire us all. I also reflect on my recent visit to Xavier University of Louisiana, where I had the privilege of speaking with the biology department about purpose, perseverance, and faith. From my roots in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to my work as an orthopedic surgeon, my journey has taught me that success isn't just about where you end up. My hope is that this message reminds you to stay faithful to your purpose, trust the process, and keep building, even when the path isn't easy.

"Be careful when you say you don't want to do something, because you never really know what doors will open up later on." "You can have all the service you want, you can do all the research you want, but if you don't have the grades, it's gonna be very hard to get into any kind of graduate program."

This episode examines the shifting landscape of Palestenian statehood as recognition spreads and new peace initiatives test the future of governance and diplomacy.Momentum around Palestinian self-determination is building. Following a landmark summit chaired by Saudi Arabia and France on the margins of last month's UN general Assembly, the UK formally recognised Palestine, with nine other countries soon following suit. At the same time, Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point plan for Gaza, proposing a “Board of Peace” led by Tony Blair to oversee governance, demilitarisation and reconstruction.With recognition spreading and new peace initiatives on the table, some welcomed, others highly contested - the questions are urgent: What do these developments mean for Palestinian statehood?

Most think that algorithms are the modern root cause of innovations. But says not only are organizations today powered by data, they innovate through data. With several other colleagues, Marta is bringing data studies back to the forefront of information systems research. She produces workshops, a forthcoming book, and an online bibliography with seminal readings. We talk to Marta about the relationship between data and meaning, representation versus innovation, and whether we all soon live in a hyperreality created through synthetic data that lost all connection to the real-world.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says the government is working on the possibility of an offshore recognition of skills. He says this will help save time and money for skilled migrants looking to move to Australia. - गृह मामिला मन्त्री टोनी बर्कले अस्ट्रेलिया आउन चाहने कामदारहरूको सिप वा दक्षता जाँच विदेशमै गर्ने व्यवस्था गर्ने बारेमा सोचिरहेको बताएका छन्। यसले समय र पैसाको समेत बचत हुने उनको भनाई छ। एक रिपोर्ट।

Welcome back to our 2025 Stoelting Conference Podcast Series. Fever isn't the fail-safe it's made out to be—especially in pregnancy. We walk through the subtle ways maternal sepsis hides in plain sight, why a quarter of those who died never had a fever, and how early warning tools, rapid antibiotics, and source control change the odds. From there, we pivot to maternal hemorrhage and show how quantifying blood loss with calibrated drapes plus a treatment bundle outperforms the old habit of visual estimation. We dig into TXA timing for high‑risk cesarean patients, the evidence gaps on transfusion strategies, and how placenta accreta spectrum demands regionalized teams and rehearsed playbooks.The conversation then turns to venous thromboembolism, still a leading cause of maternal mortality. Risk climbs five- to six-fold and peaks postpartum, so we stress reassessment at prenatal intake, during any antepartum admission, at delivery, and before discharge. We compare heparin and low molecular weight heparin in real-world settings, highlight extremely low neuraxial hematoma risk when following ASRA guidance, and share concrete workflow tactics: pre-delivery anesthesia consults, unit-wide alerting, anticoagulant hold triggers, and pre-procedure huddles that keep patients safe while preserving neuraxial options.Threaded through each segment is a practical theme: faster recognition, standardized bundles, and tight communication save mothers' lives. If you're building a safer unit, start with tools that measure what matters, empower nurses to escalate, and remove delays between suspicion and action.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says the government is working on the possibility of an offshore recognition of skills. He says this will help save time and money for skilled migrants looking to move to Australia. In his address the Press Club in Canberra Mr Burke also flagged changes to inactive bank accounts to combat money laundering. - হোম অ্যাফেয়ার্স মিনিস্টার টনি বার্ক বলেছেন, বিদেশে অভিবাসীদের দক্ষতা যাচাইয়ের সম্ভাবনা নিয়ে কাজ করছে সরকার। তিনি বলেন, এতে অস্ট্রেলিয়ায় আসতে ইচ্ছুক দক্ষ অভিবাসীদের সময় এবং অর্থ, দু'টিরই সাশ্রয় হবে। ক্যানবেরায় প্রেস ক্লাবে তার বক্তৃতায় মিস্টার বার্ক অর্থ পাচার রোধে নিষ্ক্রিয় ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্টের নিয়মেও পরিবর্তনের ইঙ্গিত দিয়েছেন।

Australia is exploring the recognition of migrants' skills offshore before they arrive, aiming to reduce cost and delays as well as help them secure jobs aligned with their qualifications. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says the initiative could bring benefits to both migrants and the broader economy. At least 620,000 permanent migrants are working below their skill level in Australia, according to government figures.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Many of us hoard because we believe we're making ourselves ready for anything life throws at us, but the reality is that no amount of “just in case” clutter can truly prepare us for every scenario. In this episode, I break down the myth of preparedness, explore how hoarding can actually make us less equipped for real emergencies, and talk about why resourcefulness matters much more than having piles of stuff. The Myth of Being Prepared for Every Eventuality Exploration of the comforting idea behind keeping possessions to be “ready” for anything. Recognition that life is unpredictable and impossible to fully prepare for. Infinite Possibilities vs. Realities Discussion of how each item is kept for imagined infinite scenarios. The logical impossibility of keeping items for every scenario (need for infinite space and money). Emotional and anxiety-driven decision-making despite logical understanding. Specificity of Items and Mismatched Preparation Example of items with specific uses that don't match actual needs when situations arise. The paradox of saving more items not solving the mismatch issue. Emphasis that saving more increases clutter but doesn't increase preparedness. Sensible Preparation vs. Over-Preparation Differentiation between healthy, reasonable preparation (e.g., first aid kit) and hoarding excess. The importance of context when deciding what to keep. The Role of Resourcefulness Real-life anecdotes (tampon as nosebleed fix, ballpoint pen tracheotomy) illustrating resourcefulness over mere possession. Recognition of creativity and adaptability as coping strategies. Importance of improvisation and problem-solving in handling emergencies. Asking for Help and Community Support Discussion of the difficulty and value in seeking help from others. Mention of the podcast's accountability sessions as a supportive community resource. Irony of Over-Preparedness: How Hoarding Reduces Actual Preparedness Analysis of how clutter inhibits effective response to emergencies (e.g., inability to locate items, blocked exits). Emotional and mental burden caused by excessive possessions. Emotional Drivers of Hoarding and Over-Preparedness Exploration of the underlying anxieties and emotional needs that drive hoarding. Misconception that acquiring more will eventually soothe anxiety. Discussion about the lack of true satisfaction or security from excessive possessions. The Illusion of Vindication Occasional moments when a hoarded item becomes useful, creating a sense of justification. Cost-benefit analysis: space, annoyance, energy, and opportunity cost versus occasional convenience. Distinguishing Between Convenience and Necessity Recognition that the vast majority of saved items are never useful. Importance of resourcefulness and adaptability over keeping every possible item. Everyday Adaptation and Coping Examples of daily improvisation and making do (e.g., using coins as screwdrivers, managing without umbrellas). Emphasis on resilience and ability to cope with small inconveniences. The Trap of Occasional Justification Analogy to gambling: occasional “wins” reinforce maladaptive habits. Warning against letting rare vindications justify continued hoarding. Embracing “Good Enough” and Trusting Future Capabilities Acceptance that total preparedness is impossible. Focus on nourishment, present needs, and trusting future resilience and creativity. The freeing power of letting go of the need for complete preparedness. True security and preparedness come from adaptability and trust, not material accumulation.

There has never been a literary family quite like the Brontës. In our autumn podcast Ann Dinsdale, Principal Curator of the Brontë Parsonage Museum at Haworth in Yorkshire, joined the Slightly Foxed team to discuss the story of the family's life there. The Brontës moved to Haworth in 1820 when Patrick Brontë became curate, and the parsonage was established as a museum in 1928 when it was acquired by the Brontë Society. Mrs Brontë and the oldest two daughters, Maria and Elizabeth, died there from tuberculosis, leaving Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their brother Branwell to be educated at home by their widowed father.  Ann talks about her work at the Parsonage Museum, a treasure trove of Brontë memorabilia, containing 9,000 items including clothes, letters, first editions and the sisters' own writing boxes. The Brontës were a close-knit family, sharing their games and creating a rich imaginary world which formed the basis of their later writing. Patrick Brontë was a loving and in many ways an unconventional father, who encouraged the girls' education and allowed them to read freely. He was a lover of the natural world, and on their daily walks in the wild moorland country around Haworth the sisters absorbed the atmosphere that would permeate their novels.  Recognition came in 1847 when each published a novel, though initially they hid behind the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. Charlotte's Jane Eyre was the first, an overnight sensation which was the talk of literary London, causing endless speculation about the identity of its author. Three months later came Emily's Wuthering Heights, which shocked readers with its story of passion, violence and revenge, and finally Anne's Agnes Grey. The scene could have been set for brilliant literary careers, but within two years both Emily and Anne were dead from tuberculosis, Emily at 30 and Anne at 29. Charlotte married her father's curate, lived on to write Shirley and Villette, based on her time as a teacher in a school in Brussels, and died at 38. Branwell, who never fulfilled his family's high expectations, died addicted to alcohol and opium when he was 31. Even before Charlotte's death Haworth had become a place of pilgrimage for Brontë fans, and Mrs Gaskell's 1857 biography of her helped to establish the family's lasting fame. Today the Parsonage Museum is hugely popular with visitors. It is also a centre for research and runs an annual festival of women's writing. Ann's deep knowledge of the Brontës and her experience of running the museum made for a fascinating discussion, leaving us to wonder, had the sisters lived longer, what their eventual literary legacy might have been. Autumn book recommendations were Blythe Spirit, Ian Collins's biography of Ronald Blythe, The Brothers York by Thomas Penn, Plainsong, an American novel by Kent Haruf, Traitor's Legacy by S. J. Parris, and The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller. For episode show notes, please see the Slightly Foxed website.

Culture shouldn't shape the Church—we should shape culture. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses some key lessons from the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference. God is moving in the earth and in His people, and we want to be a part. That means having the courage to share the truth with those around us and bringing our faith into the public sphere. Pastor Allen shares the importance of honesty in moments like the ones we're living through now, as well as the reality that we will face opposition. Let's pray for God to give us the vision to recognize His work and assignments as we move forward with boldness for His Kingdom!
