This is a quieter Warrior Mindset episode about energy, restraint, and what changes after years of responsibility.Endurance matters early. But mastery demands precision. Stoic philosophy and warrior traditions don't teach endless effort, they teach economy.If you've felt less patient, less willing to waste energy, and more intolerant of inefficiency, you're not breaking. You're sharpening.This episode explores:Why wasted energy becomes the real enemyThe three phases of responsibility and masteryStoic discipline, frame-holding, and economy of forceWhy resentment is a signal, not a failureRestraint as strength under controlThis lesson only shows up after years of carrying weight.Send us a text

The Mindset Debrief: Improving emotional control, clarity, and leadership effectiveness in high-pressure situations.There's a split second before things go sideways. A message lands wrong, a meeting gets tense, a plan starts slipping, and you feel that pull to fix it now. To respond fast, clarify, correct, defend, or prove you're in control. But speed isn't the same thing as skill, and under stress, it's easy to treat the first thought as the best thought. That's where this episode lives: in the moment before the consequences show up.The concept of the discipline of stepping back, not as avoidance, silence, or “letting it go,” but as a deliberate pause is addressed, which creates space for clarity. Why so many capable people don't struggle with effort, they struggle with restraint, and how “control” quietly gets mistaken for “fast.” When emotions rise, your nervous system gets loud, assumptions start feeling like facts, and conversations turn into contests. Stepping back interrupts that chain before it turns a manageable problem into collateral damage.This episode reframes composure as something you build, not something you're born with. It's a skill that shows up through repetition: taking the breath on purpose, delaying the conversation you can't handle cleanly, and choosing timing that protects your judgment. You'll also learn why this matters beyond you. Stepping back changes how safe you are to be around when tension hits. It changes whether your presence steadies a room or heats it up. That's leadership, even without a title.This episode presents practices you can use at work, at home, and in any relationship where tone and timing matter. Write the draft without sending it. Put the message in your notes and let it sit. Delay decisions when you're emotionally compromised, not forever, just long enough to regain judgment. Use stepping back as a verification tool, so you don't assign meaning while you're charged up. And when you're about to speak or act, run one simple check: is this about helping the situation, or helping your feelings? Stepping back won't make you passive. It'll make you accurate, safer, and more effective.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Frontline Optics Get 10% off your purchase Link: https://frontlineoptics.com Promocode: Transition10

Tensions between China and Japan have spiked since November 7 when Japan's newly elected prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, said in the Japanese parliament that a Chinese attack on Taiwan would be a situation threatening Japan's survival. Under Japan's 2015 security laws, that suggests Japan's self-defense forces could be activated to respond. The following day, the Chinese consul general in Osaka, Xue Jian, posted that China had no choice but to cut off the prime minister's head. China-Japan relations have since plummeted. China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, stated that Takaichi had “crossed a red line that should not have been touched.” China has taken retaliatory actions, restricting tourism to Japan and banning imports of Japanese seafood, among other actions. Why has Beijing reacted so strongly and how far are China-Japan relations likely to deteriorate?Joining us today to discuss the latest episode in China-Japan relations is Professor Akio Takahara. Professor Takahara is a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Tokyo Woman's Christian University and an Emeritus Professor at the University of Tokyo. He is also an Honorary Senior Fellow on Chinese Politics at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:07] The State of China-Japan Relations Pre-Dispute[02:49] Beijing's Reaction and Intended Audience[05:42] Continuity in Takaichi's Stance [10:31] Why a Chinese Takeover of Taiwan is Existential to Japan [13:03] China's Signals and Restraint[16:30] Recommendations for De-escalation[19:18] Senkaku Islands Dispute in Connection to Taiwan Dispute[22:04] Beijing's Potential Claims on Okinawa[24:23] View in Japan of the US Reaction[26:36] Takaichi's Support in Japan

Israel's war is being fought on two fronts, on the battlefield and in the battle for moral clarity. As the last hostage awaits return, Rabbi Cosgrove explores the tension between Jacob's restraint and his sons' fury – how far one may go, and must not go, to save a life.

Revenge is one of the most human impulses — and in this episode of Raw and Real, Danah and Stacy dive into the messy, painful, and sometimes darkly hilarious ways people try to get even. From silent treatment to petty sabotage to seven-figure karma, they break down why revenge feels so tempting… and why it almost never delivers the closure we imagine. The twins unpack two viral stories that shook social media: • A girlfriend who secretly took a ₱70,000 loan under her cheating boyfriend's name • A woman who unexpectedly inherited ₱1 million from the ex-fiancé who betrayed her Is revenge justice? Immaturity? A survival instinct? Or a slow form of self-destruction? In this conversation, they discuss: • Why revenge feels satisfying at first • How it exposes wounds we haven't healed • Why relationships today feel more transactional and disposable • What “justice” actually looks like in love and commitment • The difference between reacting out of bitterness vs. responding with wisdom • How faith, character, and emotional maturity shift the entire conversation If you've ever fantasized about getting even — or wondered if you should — this episode will hit hard. Revenge is human. Restraint is maturity. Healing is freedom. Tune in. You're not alone.

Lithuania's Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys joins Cipher Brief CEO Suzanne Kelly in Washington with a blunt warning: Western military restraint is encouraging, not deterring, the Kremlin. Budrys explains why Lithuania is raising defense spending to more than 5% of GDP by 2026—the highest in the democratic world—and pushing NATO toward offensive deterrence and denial "from the very first inch." He details Belarus' role as a state-enabled criminal actor, from weaponized migration to smuggling operations using high-altitude balloons that forced Lithuania to shut down its main international airport, and why Minsk deserves tougher sanctions. Budrys also walks through recent Russian gray-zone activity in the Baltic Sea and NATO airspace, arguing that only stronger posture—not de-escalation—has stopped undersea infrastructure attacks and drone incursions. The Minister lays out what a potential Ukraine ceasefire would mean for the Baltics, why Vilnius is committing 0.25% of GDP annually to Ukraine's security for ten years, and how Russian forces redeployed from Ukraine could reshape the threat on NATO's eastern flank. He also highlights Lithuania's energy break from Moscow—now sourcing 75% of its LNG from the U.S.—and its push for tougher economic security policies toward China as it prepares to hold the EU presidency in 2027. A candid, front-line view of deterrence, gray-zone warfare, and the future of the transatlantic alliance.

In this episode, we delve into the deeper essence of Bondage within BDSM—beyond cuffs, ropes, or the physical act of restraint. Bondage becomes a language of trust and care: when one allows themselves to be bound, they whisper “I trust you.” When one ties another, they vow “I will care for you, even as I control you.” Join us as we explore how Bondage transcends the physical, becoming an intimate, almost spiritual practice—one that intertwines power, surrender, and sacred connection. This conversation continues our journey through Saturnian Sex Magick, where we uncover the mystical dimensions of desire and devotion.

Few tests reveal the depth of wisdom like the way we handle conflict. Proverbs 17 reminds us that words, once unleashed, can wound deeply and divide quickly, yet silence and patience can heal what pride would destroy. The wise learn the power of restraint, choosing to listen before speaking, to forgive before fighting, and to make peace before tempers flare. Just as a breached dam unleashes uncontrollable waters, so an unguarded tongue releases chaos, God calls His people to a higher path—to seek reconciliation instead of retaliation, to build bridges instead of walls, and to let humility, not anger, have the final word.

Injection Molding PDF Email me: Dr.melissaseibert@gmail.com Join Elevated GP: www.theelevatedgp.com Follow @dental_digest_podcast Instagram Follow @dr.melissa_seibert on Instagram Episode Summary In this powerful continuation of their two-part conversation, Dr. Melissa Seibert and Dr. David Attia dive beyond digital workflows to confront the deeper philosophical questions shaping modern implant dentistry. Building on last week's discussion of data stacking, SmileCloud integration, and biologically driven design, this episode explores the nuanced realities of aesthetic-zone decision-making, ethical treatment planning, and the human side of high-level clinical care. Dr. Attia opens with an unflinching look at when—and why—implants may not be the ideal solution. Using examples from his collaboration with renowned prosthodontist Dr. Tony Rotondo, he explains why lateral incisors often perform better with resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (FDPs) rather than implants, especially in cases with limited mesiodistal space or compromised interproximal bone. He and Dr. Seibert examine the synergy between partial extraction therapy and resin-bonded FDPs, illustrating how biologic preservation can achieve long-term aesthetic stability with less surgical intervention. From there, the conversation transitions to Attia's mastery of provisionalization strategies in the aesthetic zone. He details how he designs custom healing abutments and Maryland-style bridges that provide patients with fixed provisionals—even when primary stability is limited. Listeners gain an inside look at his precision-driven process for contouring the subcritical zone, controlling soft-tissue architecture, and creating minimal yet functional clearance between the pontic and abutment. His philosophy is simple but profound: every anterior patient should leave the chair with something fixed—even if it isn't load-bearing. The discussion then widens to tackle the moral tension between commercial dentistry and biologic integrity. Dr. Seibert asks the hard question: How do clinicians reconcile high-quality, time-intensive dentistry with the economic pressures of high-volume practice? Dr. Attia's answer is unequivocal—ethical dentistry may take longer and require greater effort, but the money follows the mastery. He critiques the growing trend of overtreatment in both restorative and surgical spheres, warning of a coming wave of revision cases born from expedience and over-commercialization. Attia advocates for a "longevity-first" mindset—prioritizing preservation over replacement, patient education over production, and sustainable outcomes over speed. Drawing from his own follow-ups across fourteen practices, he reflects on the humility and evolution that come with long-term case review: what he did six months ago wasn't wrong—but it can always be better. The episode concludes with a candid meditation on values alignment in practice. Both clinicians emphasize the importance of knowing one's philosophy, communicating it transparently, and being comfortable acknowledging that "you're not everyone's dentist." Attia urges younger practitioners to resist the social-media allure of aggressive full-arch cases, reminding them that truly exceptional dentistry begins with sound biologic principles, refined communication, and disciplined restraint. Listeners will leave this episode with: A framework for choosing between implants and resin-bonded FDPs in the aesthetic zone Strategies for designing custom provisionals that maintain soft-tissue integrity Guidance on educating patients about biologic and financial "costs" of treatment Insight into navigating the ethical crossroads of modern dentistry This conversation is both technical and deeply human—a masterclass on how to balance innovation with integrity and how to practice dentistry that endures not just biologically, but ethically.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that sometimes strength shows up in what you don't say or do. It's easy to react in the moment, to respond with frustration or anger, but restraint shows wisdom and maturity. Choosing calm over conflict doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong enough to protect your peace. Sponsor: Athens Bible School AthensBibleSchool.org

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Check out our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video in what we call Project23. Our text today is Judges 8:10-13. Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army, about 15,000 men, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East, for there had fallen 120,000 men who drew the sword. And Gideon went up by the way of the tent dwellers east of Nobah and Jogbehah and attacked the army, for the army felt secure. And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued them and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and he threw all the army into a panic. Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres. — Judges 8:10-13 The chase is over. Gideon captures Zebah and Zalmunna, the two Midianite kings. The victory is amazing—what began with 300 men now ends with an army of 120,000 wiped out. But here's the danger. After exhaustion and criticism comes temptation. Power can twist our perspective. Victory can be intoxicating. Leaders who experience wins can quickly lose their way if pride, anger, or vengeance worm into their hearts. Gideon stands at that crossroads. Your greatest temptations often follow your greatest victories. When the adrenaline fades and the applause starts, the enemy whispers, “You did this. You deserve more. Take what's yours.” For Gideon, the temptation is vengeance and pride. For us, it might look like self-congratulation after a big accomplishment, bitterness toward someone who doubted us, or entitlement that makes us think we've earned a pass from obedience. The real test of leadership isn't just whether you can lead the battle—it's whether you can lead your heart humbly when the battle is done. God calls us to victory without arrogance, strength without vengeance, and success without self-worship. So when God gives you a win, don't let temptation rob you of the blessing. Celebrate his power, not yours. Point the spotlight back where it belongs—on Him alone. ASK THIS: When has success tempted me more than failure? Where do I feel the pull toward pride, vengeance, or entitlement? How can I guard my heart in moments of victory? What practices help me point glory back to God? DO THIS: The next time you experience success—big or small—pause and redirect the credit. Thank God openly, and resist the temptation to take the glory for yourself. PRAY THIS: Lord, protect my heart in moments of success. Keep me humble, guard me from pride, and help me see every victory as Yours, not mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Not To Us."

You hold it together all day at work, only to walk in the door and snap at the first person you see. Sound familiar? That's exactly what your child is experiencing when they come home from school—and you're not alone in wondering what on earth is happening.After-school restraint collapse is real. Many parents feel overwhelmed when their child holds it together for teachers, only to unravel at home. In this episode, I explain why this happens and share practical steps so you can help your child regulate, reset, and reconnect after a long day.Why does my child melt down after school?What looks like defiance or disrespect is really your child's nervous system waving the white flag. After a long school day filled with demands, noise, and social stress, many kids come home emotionally depleted.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. Your child held it together in class, but once they feel safe at home, the emotional floodgates open. This isn't rebellion—it's release.Here's what's really happening behind those after-school meltdowns:Kids mask stress at school and let it out at home where it feels safe.Common triggers include: sensory overload, skipped meals, transitions, and sheer fatigue.Behavior is communication. Tears, shutdowns, or outbursts signal that your child's nervous system needs recovery—not punishment.When parents reframe restraint collapse as a call for regulation, it shifts everything.

Why This Episode Matters:Dan Rothman isn't just the guitarist of London Grammar, he's a prolific songwriter, producer, and collaborator who's helped carry the band through more than a decade of international success. In this conversation, Dan shares candid reflections on band diplomacy, the power of restraint, and the deep emotional connections that make songs timeless.Who is Dan Rothman:Dan Rothman is best known as the guitarist and co-founder of London Grammar, the British trio whose atmospheric sound and powerhouse vocals have captivated global audiences. Beyond the band, Dan has written, produced, and collaborated with a wide range of artists, and is carving out a serious path as a songwriter and producer in his own right.What We Dive Into:* The balance between being a diplomat and being an artist* How therapy and self-reflection shaped Dan's role in the band* The importance of restraint in guitar and production choices* Lessons from industry legends (Mark Ronson, Greg Alexander, Sting)* Why relationships matter more than hit-making formulas* The beauty of collaboration vs the myth of doing it all aloneThree Key Takeaways:* Diplomacy keeps bands together - Dan calls himself the “bridge” between personalities, showing how soft skills can be as important as technical ones.* Restraint is a superpower - from guitar playing to production, leaving space often creates the strongest emotional impact.* Collaboration > Isolation - even the biggest producers lean on others' strengths. Great records are born from relationships, not ego.Before You Go:Think about your own sessions: are you leaving space for the artist's voice, or filling it with your own ideas? Try practicing restraint and see what emerges when you focus on trust and emotion over perfection.Chapters:0:00 – Intro1:25 – Beyond London Grammar?3:25 – Music as relationships5:35 – Diplomacy, therapy, and keeping the band together7:30 – Saying no to “smash hits”12:30 – The making of “Hey Now”17:55 – Does hard work make a better song?23:00 – Deliberation vs spontaneity24:20 – Guitar tones, amps, and the London Grammar sound28:40 – The art of restraint in guitar playing37:20 – Writing songs that move people41:20 – Emotion over analysis in songwriting48:00 – California Soil and collaborative creation50:20 – Returning to DIY and reflecting on Truth Is a Beautiful Thing57:20 – Collaboration vs doing it all alone59:50 – Quick Hits1:06:15 – Closing reflections & outroList of References from the Interview:Songs:* “Hey Now” – London Grammar* “All My Love” – London Grammar* “You Only Get What You Give” – New Radicals* “Message in a Bottle” – The Police* “Murder on the Dancefloor” – Sophie Ellis-BextorProducts/Gear:* Vox AC30* Fender Twin Reverb* Strymon Flint pedal* UAD Ox Box* H-Delay (Waves)Connect with Dan:* YouTube: @Rothmanmusic* Instagram: @dan.hjrothman* Spotify: London Grammar* Apple Music: London GrammarConnect with Toru:* Website: torubeat.com* Instagram: @torubeat* YouTube: @torubeat* Spotify: Toru* Apple Music: ToruCredits:This episode was co-produced, engineered and edited by Matthew Diaz.

The phenomenon “post-restraint collapse” refers to the outburst types of behaviors that can occur after requests for control or tough situations that require high levels of self-control. We can allow for post-restraint collapse, but we can be smarter by affecting the restraint portion itself to see if we can affect the collapse in a positive way.

The Atlantic asks, “What's the Point of a HS Reunion?” President Trump declares “the woke agenda is practically gone,” but the left is never going to be defeated. Senator Tammy Duckworth tries, yet again, to bait Trump – and he resists, showing growth. MSNBC's Tim O'Brien and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani suddenly pretend the left cares about democracy. Norway's socialists promised their wealth tax would collect $54 billion from the ultra-rich. Instead, revenues plunged $594 million – a net decrease of $448 million.
