While COVID-19 lockdowns affected nearly everyone worldwide, feelings of anxiety and fear were exacerbated for those already entangled in the criminal justice system. Scholars recognized the unique opportunity to study crime and the justice system's response during this period, though they soon realized that determining the pandemic's effects would be a complicated, nuanced process.Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Responses and Adaptations in the US Criminal Justice System (Southern Illinois University Press 2025) features analyses and findings from more than thirty contributors in eleven essays. The collection examines the multifaceted social, economic, cultural, legislative, and policy responses to COVID-19 and their impacts on crime and justice. It also explores how professionals across the criminal justice system—police officers, campus police officers, attorneys, judges, correctional staff, and community supervision agents—adapted to unprecedented challenges.Through diverse perspectives and empirical approaches ranging from advanced statistical analysis to qualitative interviews, Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic offers a comprehensive exploration of the complexities that affect research results. It showcases the resilience and innovation within the criminal justice field and details the challenges professionals in this area tackled during a universally trying time, presenting valuable lessons for future crises.

Farmer sentiment dipped again in August as the Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer Index fell 10 points to 125. Producers were markedly less optimistic about the future in August as the Index of Future Expectations dropped 16 points to 123. This was the lowest reading for the future index since last September. Purdue ag economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier share insights into the results of the August 2025 survey, conducted from August 11-15, in this episode of the Purdue Commercial AgCast. Sentiment differed widely among producers depending on whether their farm is primarily a crop operation or a livestock operation. Responses from crop producers this month were much less optimistic than those from livestock producers, which indicates the disparity in profitability between crop and livestock enterprises. Beef cattle operations in particular are experiencing record profitability as the smallest cattle inventory since 1951 has pushed cattle prices to record levels. This stands in sharp contrast to returns for crop production which have weakened in 2025. The Ag Economy Barometer sentiment index is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers' responses to a telephone survey. Further details on the full report is available at https://purdue.edu/agbarometer. Slides and the transcript from the discussion can be found at https://purdue.ag/agcast193.

This week on Conflict Managed we are joined by Dr. Anthony Mazzella, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst. Join us for a practical conversation on how to recognize narcissistic patterns at work, set internal boundaries, and use curiosity and a slower pace to keep conflict from spiraling. Conflict Managed is available wherever you listen to podcasts and to watch on YouTube @3pconflictrestoration. As a leader and expert in the field, Dr. Mazzella holds various clinical positions, including, but not limited to, treating patients in his private practice, training professionals at two post-graduate training institutes, conducting research, and lecturing across the country. While his focus with his patients is psychodynamic in nature, his main goals are to build a trusting relationship and help each patient reduce the frequency and intensity of their emotional painful thoughts and suffering. He helps his patients overcome both acute and long-standing problems that may be more imbedded in their personality. Anthony is the host of the podcast The Narcissism Decoder, a podcast takes a comprehensive look at various facets of narcissism. Conflict Managed is produced by Third Party Workplace Conflict Restoration Services and hosted by Merry Brown. #ConflictManaged #WorkplaceConflict #NarcissismAtWork #Leadership #Boundaries #WorkplaceWellbeing
1. Adapt and Be Adept: Market Responses to Climate Change edited by Terry Anderson, champions market-based adaptation to climate change over top-down, incentivized approaches such as carbon taxes or "climate clubs". The book uses Pascal's Wager to frame its argument: regardless of whether climate change is definitively proven, it is prudent to adapt. A central critique in the book is directed at the economic impracticality of relying solely on renewable energy. Mark Mills' chapter highlights that historically, the dominance of wood and the search for food kept societies from specializing, a limitation overcome by fossil fuels. Current statistics show renewables account for only 2% of global and 3% of US electricity generation. The cost comparison is stark: $1 million worth of shale gas produces 300 million kilowatts of power, while the same value in renewables yields only 50 kilowatts. Furthermore, storing renewable energy with batteries is prohibitively expensive (costing $200 per equivalent unit compared to $1 for hydrocarbons) and limited by the availability and environmental impact of mining critical resources like lithium. The book dismisses goals like the Biden administration's aim for 100% renewable electricity by 2035 as being in "total denial" of these physical and economic limits. The book also critiques government-led "incentivized" policies, like carbon taxes or emissions trading systems, as susceptible to political distortion and protectionist agendas. These policies, derived from "blackboard economics," fail to account for the political reality where powerful interests at the negotiating table ensure they are not "on the menu" for taxation. The failure of Europe's emissions trading system, which was diluted by granting credits to new energy producers, serves as an example of such distortion destroying market incentives. Instead, the book advocates for improving "price discovery" through financial and risk markets as the most effective means of adaptation. These markets, like property and insurance, naturally adjust prices to reflect changing risks, such as declining property values in areas prone to storm surges. However, government subsidies for programs like flood or crop insurance distort these signals, leading to maladaptive behavior. The crucial role of government, according to the authors, is not to dictate energy policy or impose taxes, but to provide accurate, transparent, and timely data on climate variables like rainfall and temperature, enabling markets to make informed decisions. The experiences of Alaskan Native Villages (ANV) illustrate the importance of local control and human ingenuity in adaptation, which external regulations have often hindered. The book emphasizes the need for pragmatism in addressing climate change, echoing Bjorn Lomborg's argument for sensible investments in areas like public health (e.g., malaria control) that yield greater returns than attempts to halt climate change altogether. Ultimately, Adapt and Be Adept posits that empowering individuals and communities with accurate information and minimal market distortion will unleash the human capacity to adapt and prosper in a changing climate. 1873 VULTURE BISON

Today's episode is audio from last weeks event: "Lean In: A Conversation About Immigration," a cosponsored, free event between VOXOLOGY and World Relief. Mike Erre and Matthew Soerens delve into the church's role and posture on immigration issues, highlighting their collaboration with World Relief. They discuss the importance of moving beyond policy debates to embrace a posture of empathy and advocacy for immigrant and refugee communities. Through events like "Lean In," they aim to foster conversations that address biblical, legal, and social realities, encouraging listeners to engage actively and compassionately. Join them as they explore how the church can stand in solidarity with marginalized communities and make a meaningful impact. How should the Church respond? What are the actual laws and how are they being violated? From the teachings of Jesus to the Old Testament's calls to care for the foreigner, this episode navigates how Christians can approach this complex issue with compassion and cruciformity. They dive into the legal realities of immigration, the stories of refugees and asylum seekers, and the moral and theological responsibilities of the church. With a focus on justice, faith and politics, and the unity of the global church, this dialogue encourages empathy, critical thinking, and gospel-centered action. Join the discussion as the hosts address questions like: How does faith inform our view of immigration? What does it mean to embody love and justice as followers of Jesus? Whether you're wrestling with these topics or seeking to better understand the role of the church in cultural issues, this episode offers depth, reflection, and hope. We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these important conversations.

Organizations today face escalating cyber risks spanning state-sponsored attacks, supply chain compromises, and malicious apps. ShinyHunters' breaches of Salesforce platforms (impacting Google and Farmers Insurance) show how social engineering—like voice phishing—can exploit trusted vendors. Meanwhile, Russian actors (FSB-linked “Static Tundra”) continue to leverage old flaws, such as a seven-year-old Cisco Smart Install bug, to infiltrate U.S. infrastructure. Malicious apps on Google Play (e.g., Joker, Anatsa) reached millions of downloads before removal, proving attackers' success in disguising malware. New technologies bring fresh vectors: Perplexity's Comet browser allowed prompt injection–driven account hijacking, while malicious RDP scanning campaigns exploit timing to maximize credential theft.Responses vary between safeguarding and asserting control. The FTC warns U.S. firms against weakening encryption or enabling censorship under foreign pressure, citing legal liability. By contrast, Russia mandates state-backed apps like MAX Messenger and RuStore, raising surveillance concerns. Microsoft, facing leaks from its bug-sharing program, restricted exploit code access to higher-risk countries. Open-source projects like LibreOffice gain traction as sovereignty tools—privacy-first, telemetry-free, and free of vendor lock-in.AI-powered wearables such as Halo X smart glasses blur lines between utility and surveillance. Their ability to “always listen” and transcribe conversations augments human memory but erodes expectations of privacy. The founders' history with facial recognition raises additional misuse concerns. As AI integrates directly into conversation and daily life, the risks of pervasive recording, ownership disputes, and surveillance intensify.Platforms like Bluesky are strained by conflicting global regulations. Mississippi's HB 1126 requires universal age verification, fines for violations, and parental consent for minors. Lacking resources for such infrastructure, Bluesky withdrew service from the state. This illustrates the tension between regulatory compliance, resource limits, and preserving open user access.AI adoption is now a competitive imperative. Coinbase pushes aggressive integration, requiring engineers to embrace tools like GitHub Copilot or face dismissal. With one-third of its code already AI-generated, Coinbase aims for 50% by quarter's end, supported by “AI Speed Runs” for knowledge-sharing. Yet, rapid adoption risks employee dissatisfaction and AI-generated security flaws, underscoring the need for strict controls alongside innovation.Breaches at Farmers Insurance (1.1M customers exposed) and Google via Salesforce illustrate the scale of third-party risk. Attackers exploit trusted platforms and human error, compromising data across multiple organizations at once. This shows security depends not only on internal defenses but on continuous vendor vetting and monitoring.Governments often demand access that undermines encryption, privacy, and transparency. The FTC warns that backdoors or secret concessions—such as the UK's (later retracted) request for Apple to weaken iCloud—violate user trust and U.S. law. Meanwhile, Russia's mandatory domestic apps exemplify sovereignty used for surveillance. Companies face a global tug-of-war between privacy, compliance, and open internet principles.Exploited legacy flaws prove that vulnerabilities never expire. Cisco's years-old Smart Install bug, still unpatched in many systems, allows surveillance of critical U.S. sectors. Persistent RDP scanning further highlights attackers' patience and scale. The lesson is clear: proactive patching, continuous updates, and rigorous audits are essential. Cybersecurity demands ongoing vigilance against both emerging and legacy threats.

Send us a textSeries wrap-up, featuring Pastors Tommy and Shanda Miller, co-founders of Legacy Church International, New Philadelphia, Ohio. Sunday, Aug. 24, 2025, sermon.Responses to questions about Governing Contradiction form the crux of the message. We begin by summarizing the series then addressing a bank of questions: 1. You talked about creation groaning and waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. I'll be honest, I never thought of myself as someone creation is waiting for. I feel more like I'm barely keeping my head above water most days. How do I make the mental shift from seeing myself as a victim of circumstances to seeing myself as someone creation is actually looking to for governance.2. What do we do with Divine silence? When the heavens feel like brass and prayer feels like throwing words into the void? How do we govern the contradiction between God's promises and God's apparent absence? And what has “rest to rule” look like for you in your seasons like that?3. You mentioned that repentance creates a rhythm of governance. What does ongoing repentance look like in this journey? And how do I maintain humility while growing in authority and confidence in governing contradictions? 4. Take us to the graveside in the hospital room. How do you hold resurrection hope without denying the ache? What does a voice in the void sound like when you're standing with a family who just lost everything?5. The concept of being the wind, not the wave, really hit me hard. But what does that actually look like on Tuesday morning when my teenager is rebelling, my marriage is strained, and my boss is impossible. How do I be the wind that moves circumstances instead of the wave that gets tossed around by them?#asheis #asheissoareweinthisworld #unveiled #conscience #sons #manifestsons #union #legacychurchoh #newcreation #jesus #church #jesuschrist #gospel #transfigured #revelator #apostle #deathless #immortality #believe #bible #creator #godisgood #grace #hope #sermonshots #sermonclips #holyspirit #love #godislove #kingdom #peace #freedom #facebook #memes #truth #inspiration #motivationalquotes #vibes #positivevibes #christ #jesuslovesyou #russellbrand #jordanbpeterson #joerogan #atm #tommymillerGet more life-changing content and community here:https://linktr.ee/tommymiller Support the show

[original post here] #1: Isn't it possible that embryos are alive, or have personhood, or are moral patients? Most IVF involves getting many embryos, then throwing out the ones that the couple doesn't need to implant. If destroying embryos were wrong, then IVF would be unethical - and embryo selection, which might encourage more people to do IVF, or to maximize the number of embryos they get from IVF, would be extra unethical. I think a default position would be that if you believe humans are more valuable than cows, and cows more valuable than bugs - presumably because humans are more conscious/intelligent/complex/thoughtful/have more hopes and dreams/experience more emotions - then in that case embryos, which have less of a brain and nervous system even than bugs, should be less valuable still. One reason to abandon this default position would be if you believe in souls or some other nonphysical basis for personhood. Then maybe the soul would enter the embryo at conception. I think even here, it's hard to figure out exactly what you're saying - the soul clearly isn't doing very much, in the sense of experiencing things, while it's in the embryo. But it seems like God is probably pretty attached to souls, and maybe you don't want to mess with them while He's watching. In any case, all I can say is that this isn't my metaphysics. But most people in the comments took a different tactic, arguing that we should give embryos special status (compared to cows and bugs) because they had the potential to grow into a person. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/my-responses-to-three-concerns-from

The Wall Street Journal's release of Jeffrey Epstein's private calendar revealed that, even after his 2008 conviction as a sex offender, he maintained access to prominent figures in politics, finance, and academia. The calendar included scheduled meetings with individuals such as CIA Director William Burns, renowned academic Noam Chomsky, Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler, Bard College President Leon Botstein, and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. These entries demonstrated that Epstein, despite his notoriety, was still actively engaging with power players, securing sit-downs that suggested his influence and connections remained intact well after his fall from grace.Responses to the revelations highlighted both defensiveness and distancing. Chomsky confirmed some interactions but dismissed the significance, telling reporters that who he met “is none of your business.” Burns's camp insisted his meeting with Epstein was merely a brief introduction arranged during his transition out of government and that he had no relationship with him. The broader disclosure underscored the depth of Epstein's reach and the discomfort it continues to cause for those whose names surfaced on his calendar years after his crimes were well known.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Documents, Part 2: Dinners with Lawrence Summers and Movie Screenings With Woody Allen (msn.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, I respond to a listener question that highlights two very different—but equally important—play therapy dynamics. One child clings to the therapist immediately, handcuffing herself to me in the first session and refusing to leave in the second. Another child dives deep into intense work right away, only to recoil and resist in subsequent sessions. I unpack both situations and explain how these behaviors reveal underlying attachment needs, relational fractures, and the natural ebb and flow of the CCPT process. From recognizing maladaptive coping strategies, to understanding why children sometimes bypass initiation and resistance phases, I share how to stay grounded, reflect feelings, and trust the therapeutic process. Whether a child is overly eager or pushing us away, both are doing important work—and both scenarios remind us why consistency and adherence to the model matter so much.
