On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank addresses the contention that many biblical accounts were recorded long after the fact and recklessly embellished; therefore, they are the stuff of myth and legend. However, Hank points out why that is hardly true.Hank also answers the following questions:What are your thoughts on the peace treaty with Israel that will start the seven-year tribulation? Shantell - Calgary, AB (3:07)Are there generational curses? Bob - Vancouver, BC (6:40)Do all Pentecostals believe in modalism, or are there different beliefs regarding the Trinity within the Pentecostal denomination? Cindy - Memphis, TN (15:13)Am I right to say that believers who take their own lives will not go to heaven? Josh - Oklahoma City, OK (16:02)I've heard you say, “Before we will see revival in the culture, there must be reformation in the pews.” Can you clarify this statement? Mike - Bentonville, AR (19:07)

Did Jesus actually say He was God, or did Christians just make that up later? In this episode, we look at the historical evidence you can't ignore. From Jesus' claim to forgive sins to His Jewish trial, the evidence points to His divine claim. What you'll discover: ✅ Why His enemies accused Him of blasphemy ✅ How His miracles connect Him to the God of the Old Testament ✅ Archaeology that confirms early Christians worshiped Him as divine ✅ Why this matters if you want more confidence in your faith If you've ever wondered how to explain Jesus to friends who say, “He was just a good teacher,” this conversation gives you the facts — and the courage — to answer.

Send us a textA semiconductor wafer travels around the globe five times on average before becoming the chip in your smartphone. Each journey represents a potential risk to device reliability that few consumers—or even industry professionals—ever consider.Behind every high-performing semiconductor device lies a carefully orchestrated logistics operation ensuring these sensitive components arrive intact and functioning. As Francoise von Trapp discovers in this eye-opening conversation with John Desmond and Valentina Aplenalp of Kuehne+Nagel, the journey matters just as much as the manufacturing.Drawing from his background in semiconductor design and manufacturing, John explains how vibration, temperature fluctuations, humidity, and even light exposure can compromise device integrity during transit. Wafers transported in specialized containers called FOUPs, delicate packaging materials, and critical replacement parts for manufacturing equipment all require extraordinary care throughout their global journeys.Valentina reveals the sophisticated systems developed to protect these valuable shipments: real-time environmental monitoring sensors connected to 24/7 control towers, specialized air-ride vehicles, and climate-controlled packaging solutions. When emergencies arise—like a critical equipment failure threatening production—their time-critical logistics teams deliver replacement parts within hours, not days.Most fascinating is the human element. The Semicon Chain certification program ensures every person who might handle semiconductor shipments receives specialized training, creating an end-to-end system where nothing is left to chance. As John puts it, they aim to be "the best partner that you never know you had"—the hidden force ensuring semiconductor reliability.Whether you're a semiconductor professional, supply chain specialist, or simply curious about the invisible infrastructure supporting our digital world, this episode offers rare insight into how logistics enables technological innovation. Support the showBecome a sustaining member!

Are humanoid robots distracting us from the real unlock in robotics ... hands? In this TechFirst episode, host John Koetsier digs into the hardest (and most valuable) problem in robotics: dexterous manipulation. Guest Mike Obolonsky, Partner at Cortical Ventures, argues that about $50 trillion of global economic activity flows through “hands work,” yet manipulation startups have raised only a fraction of what locomotion and autonomy companies have. We break down why hands are so hard (actuators, tactile sensing, proprioception, control, data) and what gets unlocked when we finally crack them.What we'll talk through ...• Why “navigation ≠ manipulation” and why most real-world jobs need hands• The funding mismatch: billions to autonomy & humanoids vs. comparatively little to hands• The tech stack for dexterity: actuators, tactile sensors (pressure, vibration, shear), feedback, and AI• Grasping vs. manipulation: picking, placing, using tools (e.g., dishwashers to scalpels)• Reliability in the wild: interventions/hour, wet/greasy plates, occlusions, bimanual dexterity• Practical paths: task-specific grippers, modular end-effectors, and “good enough” today vs. general purpose tomorrow• The moonshot: what 70–90% human-level hands could do for productivity on Earth ... and off-planetChapters00:00 Intro—are we underinvesting in robotic hands?01:10 Why hands matter more than legs (economics of manipulation)04:30 Funding realities: autonomy & humanoids vs. hands08:40 Locomotion progress vs. manipulation bottlenecks12:10 Teleop now, autonomy later—how data gets gathered14:20 What's missing: actuators, tactile sensing, proprioception17:10 Perception limits in the real world (wet dishes, occlusions)22:00 General-purpose dexterity vs. task-specific ROI26:00 Startup landscape & reliability (interventions/hour)29:00 Modular end-effectors and upgrade paths30:10 The moonshot: productivity explosion when hands are solvedWho should watchRobotics founders, VCs, AI researchers, operators in warehousing & manufacturing, and anyone tracking humanoids beyond the hype.If you enjoyed thisSubscribe for more deep-tech conversations, drop a comment with your take on the “hands vs. legs” debate, and share with someone building robots.Keywordsrobotic hands, dexterous manipulation, humanoid robots, tactile sensing, actuators, proprioception, warehouse automation, AI robotics, Cortical Ventures, TechFirst, John Koetsier, Mike Obolonsky#Robotics #AI #Humanoids #RobotHands #Manipulation #Automation #TechFirst

Pastor Ben discusses the importance of practicing respectful dialogue with apologetics, with a sample conversation around the reliability of the New Testament.

This episode introduces our series on Orthodox Christian virtue, beginning with the call to authentic masculinity. Fr. Anthony explains that true manhood is humble, courageous, and sacrificial, and can only be formed through living a life in fellowship with others. ------------- Introduction to our Series on Orthodox Christian Virtue Men's Group, Christ the Saviour in Anderson SC Fr. Anthony Perkins, 28 September 2025 Etymological note: the word “virtue” is from the Latin virtus, which means strength, manliness, and moral excellence.  The trick is not to redefine moral virtue around fallen concepts of manliness, but to regain the sort of masculinity that is, by its nature, both strong and godly (ie, holy). Why a Series on Orthodox Christian Masculinity? ·      Men struggle with the development of a proper goal and worldview that would allow them to thrive, specifically as Christian men. ·      Men increasingly lack sound role models and guides, but there are many influencers who would fill that role for all the wrong reasons and give bad advice. ·      This combination of high demand and unreliable supply means that everyone suffers; men who are called to be part of the solution to the problem of the world's pain instead increase it. ·      The Orthodox Church is the fullness of the faith, but has addressed this problem inconsistently (Note on the book “Why Men Hate Going to Church”).  It is great to have Orthodox influencers addressing the issue, but this happens at the expense of building the kind of community would and should naturally foster community.  Men can watch videos, listen to podcasts (do men even read books anymore?!), and increase their tribal commitment to virtue, but unless they are in the trenches with other men committed to the same goal and part of a system that blesses and supports the goal and its pursuit, this is idle posturing.  o   This is the problem of superficial mentorship: ideas without connection or skin in the game. (incomplete or bad ecclesiology).  It is both gnostic (because it is anti-incarnational) and Protestant (in that each person becomes their own guide, moving to the idea/guru that matches their inclinations rather than joining and submitting to something substantial and real). o   The temptation of clericalism.  Leaving all teaching and mentoring to the parish priest. (incomplete or bad ecclesiology) o   As on the internet, the men who might want to step up and fill this void may not be suited for it because they lack the proper temperament, manner of life, experience, or training.  (Self-selection is bad ecclesiology.) Remember Matthew 15:14b on the blind leading the blind. ·      This is NOT a series that is going to present THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING OF MASCULINITY ™ so that we can all adjust our minds to its reality.  Lord willing, it will teach the right ideas, but that is not how real spiritual formation happens. ·      It is a series that is part of our effort to create a community of men who not only understand masculine virtue and commit themselves to its achievement, but also one where we train and work towards that standard together.  So it includes NOT JUST ideas of manliness but intentionally develops scalable ecclesial institutions that incarnate the living of those ideas through the brotherly support, mentorship, encouragement, and accountability. Your role in the process: commitment to living a life of virtue in community with others. My role in the process and why I am the leader of our local chapter ·      Long-standing commitment to Christian virtue and all the sacrifices that entails; as well as the many blessings that have followed. ·      Married thirty-five years.  ·      A respected and decorated leader in the Army, community, and Church. o   Retired Military Intelligence Chief Warrant Officer with deployments throughout the world, to include two to Afghanistan. o   Three master's decrees: political science, divinity, and special education. o   Ordained as a priest in 2007, have been teaching seminary since 2008; and have served in multiple leadership positions in the national church and at seminary. ·      Trained and experienced in the concepts of teamwork, spiritual development, community, and theology. ·      A lifetime of experience teaching these concepts and discipling others to teach them in the military, academia, parishes, seminary, and on the internets. If I were into self-promotion or social media, these might get me a following; but the real reason that I am the leader of the process is ontological, that is to say baked into our reality: I am the legitimately and canonically ordained priest assigned by our bishop to the priest – that is to say the “elder” and pastor – of this parish.  This would be true even if I had never served in the military, taught at seminary, or enjoyed the benefits of a healthy marriage.  It is accepting the fact that we “go to war with the army and leaders we have, not the ones we want” that allows us to get traction in doing the work we are called to do.  We might gain a rudimentary understanding of what we are called to do and be as Christian men from our favorite Orthodox influencers on the internet, but if we are more attached to them and their virtual communities than the leaders and community in which we actually live, then we are setting ourselves up for failure.  The Church has been perfecting the saints for many centuries without the internet; it is foolishness to jettison that system in favor of one that has not been tested and is known to be skewed towards narcissism and exaggeration.  So here are the objectives of this series: ·      To provide a deeper understanding of Orthodox Christian Masculinity that each of us can defend and commit ourselves to. ·      To provide tools that will allow us to grow in personal holiness, first by dealing with our fallen “manly” temptations (anger, lust, gluttony, manipulation, and just checking out) and second by the acquisition of a peaceful, confident, and humble spirit. ·      To provide the tools – and not just the ideas! – to lead our family, communities, and parish. ·      To develop and intentional community of men, with mentorship, discipleship, and accountability. ·      That mentorship includes o   The expectation that every man will go to confession regularly and schedule meetings with his priest as necessary.  We should be going to confession AT LEAST FOUR TIMES A YEAR; the ideal is once a month. o   The development of horizontal friendships with other men IN THIS PARISH for encouragement, accountability, and the deepening of Christian love. o   Each of us will develop and maintain a relationship with a mentor.  You can have more than one mentor, just like you can go to more than one priest for confession, but the point is that salvation is LOCAL.  Again, you don't go to war with the army and leaders you want, but with the one we have.  The temptation is to Americanize ecclesiology through the internet and to turn the local stable of churches and paraliturgical communities into our very own spiritual buffet.  Didn't we say we wanted to give that way of thinking up when we became Orthodox? These mentors are: §  [NAME] §  [NAME] §  [NAME] §  [NAME] o   Why these?  §  They are old.  Let no man despise your youth, but a healthy culture has a special place and respect for gray beards.  Younger men are wonderful spiritual brothers and we should rely on them for such.  They can certainly be leaders in other ways, AND it is our job (and especially mine and the mentors) to disciple them so that they are able to do a better job than us when their beards turn gray.  This is within the spirit of having age requirements for formal ordination. §  They have been committed Orthodox Christians for a while.  This is important because it takes time for Orthodoxy to gain traction.  No one doubts the novice's commitment, but experience is required for mentorship.  Again, this is in line with the spirit of ecclesial norms: Canon Law prohibits the ordination of novices.  ·      Think of it as a kind of apprenticeship, but one where we are all already active life-smiths, but need a good system to help us improve the quality of our work. So what is Orthodox Christian Masculinity? ·      The way of a man committed to living out his faith humbly, courageously, and sacrificially in service to God, family, and community. o   Humble o   Courage (confidence) o   Sacrificially: DUTY!!!  Get up and do something!  Reliability.  “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” —Theodore Roosevelt We are doing great deeds together.  To the glory of God and the transformation of the world.. Future classes: Mentors are going to lead.  Spiritual discipline and asceticism.  How to build a strong and safe home.  Financial asceticism.  How to protect and serve the weak and vulnerable.  In the meantime, commit yourself to being a reliable and godly man.  Peaceful and strong.  Give up things that distract you and build up habits that will make you better.  Lead your family in prayer, lead them in going to church; encourage your friends to be godly and hold them accountable in private when needed, and live the kind of Cross-carrying life that transforms your souls towards perfection and brings peace and joy to those around you.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!The physical photograph is making a powerful comeback, and dye sublimation printing technology stands at the forefront of this renaissance. In this eye-opening conversation with Jeff Huang, corporate officer of Taiwan-based HiTi Digital, we explore how this 25-year-old company has positioned itself as a unique force in the printing industry by manufacturing both printers and consumables in-house.What makes dye sublimation printing superior to inkjet for event photography? According to Huang, it comes down to "speed, speed, and speed." While inkjet printers place individual dots, dye-sub printers transfer entire lines simultaneously, dramatically reducing printing time. Beyond speed, the technology offers remarkable reliability—printers can sit unused for months and still work perfectly when needed, a critical advantage for seasonal businesses like photo booths and event photography.We dive deep into the growing markets where physical prints remain highly valued. Photo booth operators are thriving at weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings, where guests crave tangible mementos of special moments. Sports photography represents another booming sector, with parents willingly spending $60-100 for high-quality prints of their athletic children. These aren't just photos—they're treasured keepsakes that capture fleeting moments in ways digital images simply cannot.Huang also addresses how technological advancements have overcome historical concerns about dye-sublimation print longevity. Through multiple formula revisions and the addition of specialized protective layers, modern dye-sub prints maintain their quality for years, even under challenging conditions.Discover why, in a world saturated with digital images, the physical photograph continues to hold powerfulMediaclipMediaclip strives to continuously enhance the user experience while dramatically increasing revenue.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEIndependent Photo ImagersIPI is a member + trade association and a cooperative buying group in the photo + print industry.Photo Imaging CONNECTThe Photo Imaging CONNECT conference, March 1-2, 2026, at the RIO Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas, NDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

But do these criticisms actually hold water? This Sunday Pastor Brandon will discuss how the New Testament specifically is not only the most reliable and well preserved ancient documents by far, but that there is a great case to be made it was written by God.

In this episode, Will Wilson, CEO and co-founder of Antithesis, explores Deterministic Simulation Testing (DST) with host Sriram Panyam. Wilson was part of the pioneering team at FoundationDB that developed this revolutionary testing approach, which was later acquired by Apple in 2015. After seeing that even sophisticated organizations lacked robust testing for distributed systems, Wilson co-founded Antithesis in 2018 to make DST commercially available. Deterministic simulation testing runs software in a fully controlled, simulated environment in which all sources of non-determinism are eliminated or controlled. Unlike traditional testing or chaos engineering, DST operates in a separate environment from production, allowing for aggressive fault injection without risk to live systems. The key breakthrough is perfect reproducibility -- any bug found can be recreated exactly using the same random seed. Antithesis built "The Determinator," a custom deterministic hypervisor that simulates entire software stacks including virtual hardware, networking, and time. The system can compress years of stress testing into shorter timeframes by running simulations faster than wall-clock time. All external interfaces that could introduce non-determinism (network calls, disk I/O, system time) are mocked or controlled by the simulator. The approach has proven effective with major organizations including MongoDB, Palantir, and Ethereum. For Ethereum's critical "Merge" upgrade in 2022, Antithesis found and helped fix several serious bugs that could have been catastrophic for the live network. The platform typically finds bugs that traditional testing methods miss entirely -- such as those arising from rare race conditions, complex timing issues, and unexpected system interactions.

Join the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast as we break down the No. 2 Nittany Lions' commanding 46-11 victory over Nevada in Week One at Beaver Stadium! With over 106,000 fans roaring in Happy Valley, Penn State kicked off the 2025 campaign in style, forcing three turnovers and piling up 438 total yards. But while the win was decisive, it's clear there's work to be done as the Lions gear up for a Big Ten title run and beyond. We're diving deep into the highs, lows, and what it all means for James Franklin's squad. Senior QB Drew Allar wasted no time asserting himself, going 22-of-26 for 217 yards and a touchdown in a poised performance that showed his growth heading into what could be a Heisman-contending year. He spread the ball to five different receivers, including a dagger 31-yard strike to transfer Kyron Hudson that capped a slick two-minute drill before halftime. Allar's accuracy and decision-making kept the chains moving, proving he's ready to lead this high-powered offense to new heights. The passing game wasn't just Allar—our wideouts flashed serious potential! Hudson led the charge with six catches for 89 yards and that key score, while Syracuse transfer Trebor Peña hauled in seven receptions for big chunks of yards. Devonte Ross also got involved with a nice grab on a pivotal first down-converting grab. These guys looked like the consistent weapons we've been waiting for, creating separation and making plays downfield. If they build on this chemistry, Penn State's aerial attack could be unstoppable. On defense, it was all about chaos, and senior DE Dani Dennis-Sutton was the star of the show! The edge rusher terrorized Nevada's line all afternoon, notching five tackles (2.5 for loss), a sack, a pass breakup, AND a career-high two forced fumbles—one on the Wolf Pack's opening drive recovered by A.J. Harris, and another in the third quarter scooped by Zakee Wheatley at the Nevada 16. Add in Zane Durant's first career interception, and this unit held Nevada to just 203 yards and 78 on the ground. Under new DC Jim Knowles, the D is already playing like a top-10 group—disruptive, turnover-hungry, and dominant. Shoutout to redshirt sophomore Ryan Barker for a flawless day on special teams! He nailed all four of his field goal attempts, including a career-long 39-yarder, matching his personal best and adding 12 crucial points to the scoreboard. From 28 yards twice to that bomber from 39, Barker was money when the offense stalled near the red zone. Reliability like this could be a game-changer in tight Big Ten battles down the road. That said, it's not all sunshine—there's room to grow. The offensive line, expected to be one of the nation's best, had some ugly missed assignments that disrupted rhythm and limited explosive plays up front. The run game, led by the dynamic duo of Nicholas Singleton (two TDs) and Kaytron Allen (13-yard score and 43 yards), totaled solid yards but lacked the punch we saw in previous seasons. Singleton and Allen combined for three rushing scores, but consistency on the ground will be key against tougher fronts like Ohio State and Michigan. Coach Franklin called out the sloppiness post-game; expect those reps to sharpen up quick. What's Next for the Lions? This win sets a strong tone, but with road games looming and a schedule stacked with contenders, Penn State can't afford complacency. We're discussing the Nevada game, taking fan questions, and breaking down the Monday Press Conference. Tune in now for the full breakdown.
