Podcasts about responding

After an absence of four Sundays, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), was back on the Sunday Show today with Chris Steyn. Calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down, he says: “… Wake up, resign…Mr. Ramaphosa, can't you see the signs? Can't you see they don't like you? Can't you see that they are conspiring against you?” With legacy foundations deserting the preparatory task team of Ramaphosa's National Dialogue, De Beer says: “…slowly but surely all of them will leave the rat's cage”. Responding to the charge that he himself is spearheading the #ANCMustFall movement, De Beer says: “…the ANC is doing it themselves to themselves…” He urges both the President and his party to “Voetsek”. Commenting on the crisis in SAPS, he says: “I see ourselves having to totally, totally re-educate and totally rebuild the policing service of this country. They've annihilated themselves.” As for the latest Commission of Inquiry appointed by the President, De Beer says: “..they're not commissions, they're complications because they are a way that Cyril puts things aside…if we don't have civilian action against these people, we're not going to get action at all”.

A routine burglary call turns into something far more unexplainable. Responding to a report of an intruder, two officers arrive at a quiet suburban home and are led to the upstairs bathroom—where the door is locked, the lights are off, and shuffling noises echo from within. When they announce themselves, a woman's voice responds from the other side: “I'm scared… someone is here.” Moments later, the door unlocks from the inside. But the bathroom is empty... Follow Be.

We're back from hiatus with an incredible conversation featuring Roshni Nedungadi — co-founder, founding partner, and Chief Research Officer of HIT Strategies. Roshni is one of the sharpest minds in political research today, with a career built on elevating the voices of communities too often ignored in traditional polling: people of color, young voters, and low-propensity voters.In this episode, we talk about how she found her path from Wisconsin politics to running her own firm in D.C., why representation in research matters, and what it means to build something new in a field that's still overwhelmingly white and male.

Roshni's work challenges the old norms of political research by centering voters that traditional firms often overlook. This conversation is a masterclass in how to build power through data, strategy, and representation — and a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of politics.Roshni is a founding partner and chief research officer of HIT Strategies. Roshni has led expansive, multi-phase research projects exploring how people across the United States feel about abortion access, gun control, mass incarceration, and other important issues on behalf of advocacy leaders such as Everytown for Gun Safety, NARAL, and Vera Institute for Justice. Roshni's research seeks to find nuance in how Americans, particularly BIPOC individuals and low-propensity voters, conceptualize these issues at a time where division and partisanship run rampant. Roshni's research on behalf of HIT Strategies ultimately is meant to lift up the voices of marginalized communities in the United States, one of the fastest-growing and oft-ignored voting blocks in American politics. https://hitstrat.com/our-team/Instagram: @hitstrategies If you enjoyed the show and you...

Concerted disaster mitigation and relief efforts, including the relocation of affected individuals, are being conducted in northern China to address the challenges posed by extremely heavy rainfall.为应对强降雨带来的严峻挑战，中国北方地区正在开展协同的灾害应对和救援行动，其中包括对受灾人员的转移安置工作。Beijing experienced extremely heavy rainfall for 147 hours between July 23 and Tuesday, and this caused sudden mountain torrents in the city's northern areas such as Miyun, Huairou, Pinggu and Yanqing districts.7月23日，北京遭遇了长达147小时的强降雨，这导致了该市北部地区（如密云、怀柔、平谷和延庆等区）出现了突发的山洪。At 10 am on Sunday, the Beijing Meteorological Observatory issued a blue alert—the lowest level of China's four-tier weather warning system—for heavy rain, forecasting significant rainfall in Beijing from Monday afternoon to early Tuesday morning.周日上午10点，北京气象台发布了蓝色预警——这是中国四级气象预警体系中的最低级别——称北京将有强降雨，预计从周一下午到周二凌晨，北京地区将有大量降雨。Cumulative precipitation could reach more than 50 millimeters in most areas of the city, while in certain mountainous regions, it could reach up to 100 mm, which might trigger secondary disasters such as mountain torrents and landslides, it said.该部门表示，全市大部分地区的累计降水量可能超过50毫米，而在某些山区，降水量甚至可能达到100毫米，这可能会引发诸如山洪和山体滑坡等次生灾害。In China's weather warning system, a red alert is the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue.在中国的天气预警系统中，红色预警是最为严重的级别，其次是橙色、黄色和蓝色预警。Meteorological observatories in Huairou and Miyun issued an orange alert for rainstorms on Sunday, indicating that from 11 pm on Sunday to 8 am on Tuesday, heavy rainfall is expected in those districts, with some areas receiving over 100 mm of rain.怀柔和密云的气象观测站于周日发布了暴雨橙色预警，这意味着从周日晚上11点到周二早上8点，这些地区将有强降雨，部分地区的降雨量将超过100毫米。The risk of disasters such as mountain torrents, debris flows and landslides is extremely high in mountainous and hilly areas, and waterlogging might occur in low-lying areas, it said.该报告指出，在山区和丘陵地区，发生山洪、泥石流和山体滑坡等灾害的风险极高，而低洼地区还可能出现内涝现象。As of Sunday morning, Huairou had implemented temporary scheduling measures for 55 bus routes, including suspension of 37 routes.截至周日上午，怀柔区已对55条公交线路实施了临时调度措施，其中包括暂停37条线路的运营。In neighboring Hebei province, in response to the rainfall forecast for parts of Xinglong county in the city of Chengde over the next three days, residents of seven villages in Liudaohe township have been relocated to a local middle school as a safety precaution.在邻近的河北省承德市兴隆县，鉴于未来三天该地区部分区域的降雨预报，柳道河乡的七个村庄的居民已被转移到当地的一所中学，以采取安全防范措施。The school has converted two dormitory buildings into a temporary shelter, providing over 800 beds and essential supplies to accommodate the displaced individuals.该学校将两栋宿舍楼改造成了临时避难所，提供了超过800张床位和必需的物资，以安置那些被迫流离失所的人员。Wang Xinyu, who is in charge of the settlement site at the school, said: "For the elderly, weak, sick or those who need special care, we will arrange separate rooms. At present, food is being supplied through external donations, and we have also purchased approximately 3,000 kilograms of vegetables, as well as rice, flour and oil."负责学校安置点工作的王新宇表示：“对于老人、体弱者、病人或需要特殊照顾的人，我们将安排单独的房间。目前，食物是通过外部捐赠提供的，我们还购买了约3000公斤的蔬菜，以及大米、面粉和食用油。”A heavy rainstorm that hit Xinglong on July 28 left three people dead and four others missing at a vacation resort. Rescue operations continue at the site.7月28日，一场强降雨袭击了兴隆市，造成3人死亡，另有4人失踪，他们当时正在一处度假胜地游玩。救援工作仍在该地进行中。Tianjin's meteorological bureau upgraded its blue alert for rainstorms to yellow, the second-lowest level, early Sunday morning. But later on Sunday, the city lifted the alert for rainstorms.天津气象局于周日清晨将暴雨蓝色预警级别提升至黄色（这是二级预警级别），但随后在周日傍晚，该市解除了暴雨预警。Recent heavy rain caused damage to several villages in the city's Jizhou district. Responding promptly to recent rainstorm alerts, Jizhou had relocated 2,130 people by Saturday night.近期的强降雨给该市吉州区的几个村庄造成了破坏。吉州区迅速响应了近期的暴雨警报，截至周六晚上已转移了2130名居民。To cope with waterlogging, more than 600 flood prevention workers from the Tianjin Drainage Management Center and over 400 social support personnel set in motion all drainage pumps to accelerate water removal. Main roads were cleared of water as of Sunday.为应对内涝情况，来自天津排水管理中心的600多名防汛工作人员以及400多名社会救援人员启动了所有排水泵，以加快排水速度。截至周日，主要道路的积水已被排干。Besides northern China, some other parts of the nation are also facing the threat of heavy rain and flooding.除了中国北方地区，该国的其他一些地区也正遭受着暴雨和洪水的威胁。On Sunday, the Ministry of Water Resources activated a Level IV emergency response—the lowest level—for flooding in Gansu and Qinghai provinces as well as the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, following a forecast of heavy to torrential rainfall.周日，水利部针对甘肃、青海两省以及宁夏回族自治区的洪水情况启动了四级应急响应（这是最低级别响应），此前已预测到会有强降雨至暴雨天气。China has a four-tier emergency response system for flood control, with Level I being the most severe.中国针对防洪工作设有四级应急响应机制，其中一级响应级别最为严重。The ministry urged local authorities to closely monitor weather conditions and take necessary measures, and it has sent working groups to Qinghai and Ningxia to assist in flood control.该部门要求地方当局密切监测天气状况并采取必要措施，并已派遣工作组前往青海和宁夏协助进行防洪工作。South China's Guangdong province issued a Level IV emergency response in anticipation of heavy rain on Sunday. The province is expected to face torrential rains from Sunday to Tuesday, potentially leading to flooding, mountain torrents, geological hazards and urban and rural waterlogging, the provincial meteorological service said.中国南部的广东省于周日启动了四级应急响应，以应对即将到来的强降雨。广东省气象部门表示，从周日到周二，该省预计将遭遇暴雨，可能会引发洪水、山洪、地质灾害以及城乡内涝。The Emergency Management Bureau of Huidong county in Guangdong announced on Sunday that five people who had been hiking on a local mountain on Friday were confirmed dead.广东省惠东县应急管理局于周日宣布，周五在该县一座山上进行徒步旅行的五人已被确认死亡。Due to continuous heavy rainfall in recent days, as well as the area's complex terrain and swift water flow, members of a search and rescue operation that faced significant challenges found the bodies on Sunday, the bureau said.该部门表示，由于近日持续的强降雨，加之该地区地形复杂、水流湍急，参与此次搜救行动的人员在周日找到了遇难者的遗体。 heavy rainfalln.强降雨/ˈheviˈreɪnfɔːl/emergency responsen.应急响应/ɪˈmɜːdʒənsi rɪˈspɒns/

They didn't think it would matter. When they let you go, they figured they'd be fine. Maybe even better off. In their mind, you'd be easy to replace. Someone else would come along and fill the space. They believed they could move on without consequence, without even looking back. But people like you don't come around every day. And that's something they never truly considered—until the silence set in. Until the conversations weren't as natural. The laughter didn't sound quite the same. The connection didn't flow. The comfort wasn't there. In this episode, Coach Lee breaks down the hard truth behind what happens when someone thinks you're replaceable… and then realizes you're not. You'll learn how to stop trying to prove your worth to someone who undervalued you—and why your silence, your strength, and your absence often do more to create regret than any words ever could. Coach Lee explains how walking away with dignity leaves a mark that lingers far longer than begging, convincing, or chasing ever would. This episode isn't about playing games. It's about understanding human psychology, especially in the aftermath of a breakup. When someone thinks you'll chase, they assume they have control. They expect you to fall apart, to cling, to wait around just in case they change their mind. But when you don't? That's when the narrative starts to change. You'll hear why it's so important not to hand over your emotional power, and how doing so often makes the other person feel justified in their decision to leave. Coach Lee walks you through what happens when you pull back, live your life, and let the silence speak for you. We also discuss why most people who end relationships aren't thinking long-term in the moment. They're reacting to emotion, impulse, or a fantasy of something “better.” But over time, reality has a way of setting in—and it rarely looks the way they imagined. That's when they begin to compare. And if you've been composed, grounded, and quietly rebuilding your strength? You stand out more than ever. In the episode, Coach Lee shares how to handle those inevitable breadcrumbs—those vague texts, likes on social media, or messages just checking in. You'll learn how to recognize them for what they are: attempts to get emotional reassurance without committing to anything real. Responding correctly can either reinforce your value—or confirm that you'll settle for less than you deserve. You'll learn how to keep your edge and avoid falling into emotional traps that give away your progress. We also talk about what it actually looks like when someone regrets losing you. It's not always dramatic or loud. Sometimes it's quiet. A creeping realization. A late-night memory. A moment of comparison. And often, that regret comes long after they expected to feel nothing at all. This episode will remind you that you were never easy to replace. You might have been quiet. You might have walked away calmly. But what you brought to the table can't be duplicated—and eventually, they'll see that. And when they do? You'll be standing stronger, wiser, and more certain of what you deserve. — If you're struggling with the pain of a breakup or still hoping your ex will come back, visit myexbackcoach.com for a step-by-step plan with Coach Lee's Emergency Breakup Kit (see https://MyExBackCoach.com/ebk).

Sunday Service 1 Samuel 1:21-2:11 Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)

The post Psalm 35: Responding to Attack appeared first on Christ the King Presbyterian Church.

Today's focus is on the profound biblical truth that we, as the church, are the bride of Christ. This identity is not just a metaphor, but a reality that shapes how we understand God's love, our relationship with Him, and how we live in the world. The imagery of the bride is deeply rooted in both the Old and New Testaments, and it speaks to the intimacy, commitment, and sacrificial love that Jesus has for us.Reflecting on the cultural context of the early church, especially in Ephesus, we see how revolutionary Paul's teaching was. In a society where women were often treated as property and marriages were arranged for status, Paul calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church—sacrificially, selflessly, and with deep honor. This was a radical departure from the norms of the day, and it points us to the way Jesus loves us: not as property, but as beloved, chosen, and cherished.To be the bride of Christ means to be deeply loved by Jesus. This is not a love we earn or deserve, but a love that is freely given, proven by His sacrifice on the cross. The imagery of the ancient Jewish betrothal helps us understand this even more. When Jesus lifted the cup at the Last Supper, He was not only instituting communion, but also making a proposal—a covenant of love and faithfulness. When we receive Him, we are betrothed to Him, set apart, and called to faithfulness as we await His return.This betrothal is not passive. As the bride, we are called to be faithful, to keep our hearts undivided, and to resist the pull of the world that would have us compromise our devotion. Paul's warning to the Corinthians is just as relevant today: we must not “cheat” on Jesus by giving our affections to lesser things. Instead, we are to prepare ourselves, living in purity and expectation, knowing that a great wedding feast is coming—the marriage supper of the Lamb.As we take communion, we remember not only the price Jesus paid, but also the promise we have made to Him. It is a holy moment of recommitment, gratitude, and anticipation. We are loved, chosen, and being prepared for a glorious union with our Savior. Let us live as a bride who is eagerly awaiting her groom, faithful and ready for His return.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:00] - Marriage Stories and Brokenness[03:30] - The Challenge of the Bride Metaphor[07:17] - Paul's Revolutionary Teaching in Ephesus[11:40] - Roman Household Codes vs. Christ's Love[14:17] - Sacrificial Love and Dignity[17:00] - To Be the Bride is to Be Loved[19:22] - Christ's Sacrifice and Our Value[22:43] - Jesus Sees and Chooses Us[25:39] - The Passover Cups and the Proposal[29:34] - Betrothal and the Cup of Redemption[32:21] - The Bridegroom Prepares a Place[35:05] - Faithfulness While We Wait[39:38] - Are We Cheating on Jesus?[43:40] - The Coming Wedding Feast[47:12] - Preparing the Bride[51:57] - Righteousness and Good Deeds[53:04] - Accepting the Proposal[53:57] - Communion: Remembering the Covenant[54:37] - Responding to Jesus' Love[55:57] - The Sacrifice Remembered and Anticipated

Ever wondered why some adults struggle with anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed even in safe situations? The answer might trace back to something as common as being left to cry it out as a baby. In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie dives deep into the biology behind how early childhood experiences, including seemingly normal parenting practices, can program our immune cells for danger and create lasting brain inflammation, explaining the long-term effects of crying it out on mental health. Responding to a listener's question about brain inflammation in babies, Dr. Aimie reveals what's actually happening inside tiny brains when they're left to cry it out, and how this creates the anxiety and depression we see later in life. You'll discover how your body's own biology might be perpetuating nervous system dysregulation from experiences you don't even remember. In this episode, you'll learn: How stress in early childhood creates “primed” microglia in the brain Why these primed immune cells can trigger brain inflammation, anxiety, and depression later in life The difference between stress and trauma (and why babies are especially vulnerable) Why common experiences like birth trauma, NICU stays, and “crying it out” can rewire your stress response for life The link between microglia activation, brain fog, decision fatigue, and emotional overwhelm Practical steps for healing brain inflammation from childhood trauma and calming your nervous system Whether you're working on your own healing or helping others who still feel stuck after therapy, this episode will help you understand why your body can still feel anxious and overwhelmed even when you know you're safe. Plus get simple tools to help your brain's immune system begin to heal!

What if index funds weren't as “passive” as you think? In this episode of the Rational Reminder, we are joined by Jim Rowley, Global Head of Investment Implementation Research, and Andy Mack, Head of US Equity Portfolio Management at Vanguard. These two experts offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look into what it really takes to run some of the world's largest index funds—and it's far from “set it and forget it.” From real-time trading decisions to managing $7 trillion globally, Jim and Andy walk us through how Vanguard implements index strategies with a precision that rivals any active manager. They challenge the traditional labels of passive versus active and show how thoughtful implementation, securities lending, FX execution, and IPO participation can add real value for investors—even in low-cost index products. Key Points From This Episode: (0:04) Why Vanguard's team was the ideal follow-up to Marco Sammon's index research (1:55) Why index funds aren't as simple as they seem: rebalancing, risk, and strategy (2:50) “Passive” is a misnomer: why index fund management involves active decisions (4:42) What excites Jim and Andy about index fund implementation (7:16) Risk-managed opportunities: how Vanguard adds value during secondary offerings (8:02) Debunking the active vs. passive label—think in terms of strategy characteristics (9:41) The subjective calls behind index construction and market definitions (12:00) The goal of a market-cap weighted index fund and how Vanguard tracks it (13:28) Why tracking error matters—and when it becomes a business risk (15:48) Indexing's advantage: predictable relative performance for portfolio construction (16:15) The real complexity of daily index fund trading and execution strategy (17:16) Vanguard's unique approach: PMs and traders are the same person in equities (18:52) The scale of VTI: how 24 global PMs manage trillions across time zones (20:48) Why Vanguard's culture treats every trade like it's client money (22:24) Andy's story of building Vanguard's FX desk and the hundreds of millions saved (24:04) Quant vs. human judgment in index implementation—why both matter (26:50) How fixed income index funds balance risk, liquidity, and security selection (27:46) Tools traders use to minimize price impact: algos, limits, and timing strategies (29:09) How index rebalancing impact has decreased thanks to market evolution (31:36) The hidden mechanics behind index inclusion/exclusion and price effects (33:40) Do index funds distort prices? Vanguard's view on elasticity and ownership (35:55) Stock dispersion and the case for continued price discovery (38:09) Why using passive funds doesn't mean being a passive investor (43:15) Jim's research: how “passive” funds are actively deployed by advisors (50:43) How Vanguard handles IPOs, buybacks, and market composition shifts (54:45) Active corporate action management: cash mergers, elections, and strategy (55:27) Responding to Marco Sammon's critiques on market timing and turnover (58:55) What would change if rebalancing were less frequent? (1:00:34) How securities lending and market advocacy add ongoing value (1:04:42) Should Vanguard launch a flexible, non-indexed total market fund? (1:06:26) Andy's biggest concern: system risks and rebalance day challenges (1:07:08) Jim's biggest concern: index funds aren't a free pass—investors still need discipline (1:08:03) Defining success: alignment with investors and living a balanced life Links From Today's Episode: Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/3vm-t2j-h3p Rational Reminder on iTunes — https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582.  Rational Reminder Website — https://rationalreminder.ca/  Rational Reminder on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/rationalreminder/ Rational Reminder on X — https://x.com/RationalRemind Rational Reminder on TikTok — www.tiktok.com/@rationalreminder Rational Reminder on YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/channel/ Rational Reminder Email — info@rationalreminder.ca Benjamin Felix — https://pwlcapital.com/our-team/ Benjamin on X — https://x.com/benjaminwfelix Benjamin on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminwfelix/ Dan Bortolotti — https://pwlcapital.com/our-team/ Dan Bortolotti on LinkedIn — https://ca.linkedin.com/in/dan-bortolotti-8a482310   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com).

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!This episode dives deep into a controversial topic that's increasingly dividing Catholic circles: Is it acceptable to criticize post-conciliar popes? We examine how modern Church leaders often seem reluctant to boldly proclaim traditional Catholic teachings, instead offering apologies for historical Church actions like the Crusades and Inquisition.The cultural divide between cradle Catholics and converts becomes evident as we discuss how differently they perceive papal criticism. Many who entered the Church under Pope Francis's pontificate struggle with the concept that one can question certain papal statements while remaining faithful to the Church herself. This dynamic creates fascinating tensions in how Catholics understand their relationship with Church authority.Between theological discussions, we explore broader cultural phenomena that reflect similar themes of institutional weakness. From a woman wanting to divorce her "perfect" husband because she "can't find herself," to fitness influencer Joey Swoll's groveling apology for commemorating Hulk Hogan, we witness how quickly people abandon reasonable positions when faced with criticism or emotional discomfort.Whether examining Cardinal Tagle leading jean-clad influencers in prayer at the Vatican or the differences between traditional and progressive Catholic approaches, this episode provides a thoughtful, nuanced exploration of how to remain faithful while engaging critically with Church leadership. Join us as we navigate the delicate balance between respectful obedience and necessary critique in today's complex Catholic landscape.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

How can we respond to suicide grief? In today's powerful episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with bestselling author Tracie Peterson—affectionately known as the queen of historical fiction—to explore the complicated and often unspoken aspects of suicide grief. Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research for her latest novel, Tracie opens up about why she chose to address suicide in her fiction and how storytelling can offer a gentle, healing space for those processing loss. Together, Tina and Tracie discuss the stigma and secrecy historically surrounding suicide, the different ways people move through grief, and the vital importance of finding safe, supportive communities—whether that means close friends, faith leaders, or professional counselors. Tune in to find both comfort and practical insight as we break the silence, shed shame, and highlight the biblical and scientific truths that can help us respond compassionately to those grieving after suicide. Whether you're in the midst of loss yourself or seeking to better support loved ones, this episode offers hope and understanding for a journey that is never meant to be walked alone. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: The Power of Story: Fiction offers a safe space to process hard emotions and see your experiences reflected, sometimes helping you take steps toward healing when you're not ready for counseling or direct conversations. The Weight of Stigma: Historically and today, many cultures surround suicide with secrecy and shame—which only compounds the pain for those left behind. Tracie's work addresses these silences and offers a message of compassion and biblical hope. A Safe Place for Grief: Healing often begins by seeking “safe people”—those you can trust with your vulnerability, such as mature faith leaders, therapists, or supportive friends. It's okay if your journey looks different from others—there's no timeline for grief. Moving Forward: You may never get over the loss, but you can get through it. God's love is deeper than our pain, and nothing can separate us from it (Romans 8). How We Can Help: If you're walking alongside someone grieving a suicide, simply being present—without trying to “fix” their pain or rush their process—makes a vital difference. And above all, pray continually for comfort and healing. Dial 988 to access the Suicide & Crisis Hotline.

Are modern churches too ugly to be holy? In this video, we respond to Redeemed Zoomer's critique of modern church architecture and the loss of beauty in today's worship spaces. While many Christians long for the awe-inspiring beauty of cathedrals and historic sanctuaries, we unpack the deeper question: Does a church need to be beautiful to be holy?We react to Redeemed Zoomer's arguments and explore the theology of beauty, why aesthetics matter, and where they fall short when separated from Christ-centered truth. Can a warehouse church still be sacred ground? Does God care more about stained glass or surrendered hearts? This video speaks to new Christians, skeptical seekers, and anyone wrestling with modern vs traditional Christianity.If you're curious about why churches look so different today and whether that's a problem, this conversation is for you. We aim to build up faith, encourage thought-provoking discussion, and point to Jesus as the ultimate source of beauty and transformation.Enjoy!Got any questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

In the late 2000s, unexplained mass die-offs of oysters at Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery in Tillamook, Oregon helped scientists uncover a major threat to coastal ecosystems: ocean acidification.    Today, Oregon’s coast remains one of the areas most affected by this phenomenon. Each summer, deep ocean waters rich in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen rise to the surface — a natural process known as upwelling — creating corrosive conditions that make it harder for shellfish like oysters and crabs to form shells and survive.    Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Oregon State University are currently on a scientific cruise to track acidification and low oxygen levels in real time along the Oregonian coast. Zachary Gold, a researcher with NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Lab joins us to share what scientists are seeing right now in Oregon’s waters.  Alan Barton, production manager at Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery, talks about what these conditions mean for local shellfish growers and how they’re working to adapt.  

About this Episode Many couples find themselves caught in unproductive loops of reactivity, defensiveness, and miscommunication, often rooted in old patterns and unhealed wounds. If you've ever felt stuck repeating the same arguments, or struggled to respond with empathy instead of reacting on autopilot, you're not alone. Conflict doesn't have to drive you and your partner apart. In fact, the way you handle disagreements might be the very thing that brings you closer together or pushes you further away. In this episode, you'll discover practical strategies for staying close through conflict by learning to respond rather than react. You'll hear about how early family dynamics shape our adult responses, why curiosity can be a game-changer, and why true empathy starts with self-compassion. Through insightful metaphors like comparing relationships to yoga practice or learning to slow down a speeding car—you'll find tools to recognize when you're becoming triggered, regulate your emotions, and open space for meaningful, connected conversations. Whether your relationship is feeling the strain of busy daily life or you simply want to deepen your ability to navigate challenges together, this episode offers actionable guidance for building lasting intimacy through the most difficult moments.
