The Blue Mountains — nearly 5 million acres that span the Malheur, Umatilla and Wallowa-Whitman national forests — is long overdue for a new management plan. The current plan was developed in 1990, but efforts to revise it have proved so contentious that they have failed twice. The management plan was supposed to be revised every 15 years to respond to changes in forest conditions. The latest proposal was published in early July, and the period for public comment will wrap up at the end of September. The issue has remained controversial, as public lands stakeholders have conflicting priorities for the area. We’ll hear from three different stakeholders: Jamie Dawson, the conservation director with the Greater Hell’s Canyon Council; Andy Geissler; the Director of Forest Policy for the American Forest Resource Council; and Tyler Dungannon, the conservation director for the Oregon Hunters Association.
A new executive order from the Trump administration is shifting federal childhood vaccine recommendations, sparking debate among public health officials, doctors, and parents. The new schedule reduces federal recommendations from 18 diseases down to 11 and calls for splitting up the combination MMR vaccine. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams joins Rundown to discuss why he believes the administration is acting on bad medical advice, straining relationships further between parents and doctors, and could potentially lead to a rise in preventable childhood diseases. Plus, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health at HHS Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos joins to defend the new directive, explaining how providing parents with greater choice, transparency, and fresh research is the key to overcoming vaccine hesitancy and regaining public trust.

Poet Maya C. Popa on writing with wonder, the ruthless craft of revision, and building a sustainable life in poetry. You'll learn Why wonder has more in common with the sublime — the beautiful and the terrible — than with simple delight. How a poem loses its charge the moment its ending is visible from the opening line. What “negative capability” asks of a writer stuck in the dark middle of a draft. The question worth asking when the work feels uncomfortable and you're certain something has gone wrong. A ruthless method for finding a poem's true entry point — often buried three-quarters of the way down. When to cut the images you love most, even the ones that took hours to invent. How to write about longing and love without collapsing into confession. Why asking your writing to carry your finances can quietly poison your relationship with it. What to guard at all costs while holding space for other writers. The freedom that arrives once rejection stops meaning anything at all. Resources & Links

Recap: The Text We Are StudyingWe are studying Al-Ghayah wa't-Taqrib, a classical short-form manual of fiqh written by Imam Abu Shuja'. Despite its brevity, this small text has been memorised and studied for close to a thousand years — from Cairo to Java, West Africa to Hadramaut. We are now continuing that same chain of transmission here in Western Australia.What Is Fiqh?* Literal meaning: deep understanding* Technical meaning: ma'rifatul ahkam al-shar'iyyah — knowledge of the rulings of the Shari'ah* These rulings apply to the af'al al-mukallafin — the actions of a mukallaf, a person legally responsible before AllahMukallaf = someone the Shari'ah holds responsible. A child in a car who isn't wearing a seatbelt isn't fined — the responsible adult driving is. In the same way, the rulings of fiqh apply to those who are accountable (typically, those who have reached puberty and are of sound mind).The Five Categories of Rulings (Al-Ahkam al-Khamsah)Every human action falls under one of five rulings:1. Wajib (Compulsory)* Do it → reward. Don't do it → sin.* Examples: the five daily prayers, Hajj2. Mandub / Sunnah (Recommended)* Do it → reward. Don't do it → neutral (no sin).* Examples: washing three times during wudu, the two rak'ahs of sunnah before salah, fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, showering on Fridays* Important: reward for a sunnah requires intention. Showering on Friday only counts as the sunnah if you intend it — and it must be done on Friday itself, not the day before.3. Mubah (Permissible)* Do it → neutral. Don't do it → neutral.* Examples: drinking water, eating, reading a book, breathing* This is the default and largest category. The original ruling of anything is Mubah. To move something out of Mubah into wajib or haram, evidence is required.4. Makruh (Disliked)* Do it → neutral. Don't do it → reward.* Example: eating with the left hand (for someone able to use their right); eating something smelly like garlic or onions and then going to the masjid5. Haram (Prohibited)* Do it → sin. Don't do it → reward.* Examples: drinking wine, eating porkCase Study: Rulings Can Change with New CircumstancesTwo examples from the class discussion show how a ruling on the same category of item can shift as knowledge or context changes:SmokingSmoking was historically classed as makruh, on the same basis as garlic — an unpleasant smell. Doctors did not originally know with certainty that smoking was harmful to health; some even believed it had a calming effect. It was only in the past century, once it was conclusively established that smoking causes lung cancer, that many scholars reclassified it as haram — because causing harm to oneself is haram, and smoking was now proven to cause serious harm.CoffeeCoffee has an interesting history in Islamic scholarship:* Coffee beans were first eaten in Ethiopia before being ground into a drink.* A Yemeni scholar, Sheikh Ali bin Umar al-Shadhili, repeatedly asked Allah for the strength to pray qiyam al-layl (night prayer) like the pious predecessors. He was inspired in a dream to grind and boil the coffee bean. It helped him stay awake for dhikr and night prayer — so coffee became strongly linked with worship.* Imam al-Haddad of Hadramaut said the clinking sound of coffee cups would make shaytan flee — meaning that coffee became associated with gatherings of dhikr.* As coffee spread to Mecca and beyond, some scholars observed young people becoming very animated after drinking it and grew concerned. Coffee's Arabic name, qahwa, is also an old word for wine — which added to the suspicion. Some scholars declared it haram.* The dispute was settled in a memorable way: scholars who held that coffee was haram were invited to a gathering where coffee was served without them knowing what it was. They enjoyed its effects — clarity of mind and energy — and once told it was the very drink they had prohibited, they retracted their ruling.* Coffee was also banned for a period in parts of the Christian world. Coffee houses later became historically significant as centres of discussion and, in some places, political change — in contrast to pubs, where alcohol limited clear thinking and planning.Lesson: Mubah is the default of all things. Mubah can shift to wajib (e.g. drinking water becomes obligatory if withholding it endangers life) or to haram (e.g. a permissible game becomes haram if it causes someone to neglect their prayers).Revision: The Four Types of WaterBefore moving on, we revised last week's material on water, the subject of the first chapter of most fiqh texts — Purification (Tahara).Why does every fiqh text begin with purification?Purification of the body mirrors the deeper objective of all worship: purification of the heart. On the Day of Judgement, neither wealth nor children will benefit a person — only a sound heart returned to Allah, and a soul that has been purified rather than corrupted.The Four Types of Water* Mutlaq — pure and purifying. Naturally occurring water: rain, sea, river, well, spring, snow, hail (the seven natural waters).* Mushammas — pure, but disliked (makruh) to use on the skin in specific conditions: water heated by the sun in a metal container in a hot region. It remains makruh only until it cools; a plastic container causes no such concern.* Musta'mal — previously used water. Still pure and fine to drink, but it has already been used to lift a hadath (in wudu or ghusl) and cannot be used to lift a hadath again. The same applies to water mixed with something pure that changes its taste, smell, or colour (e.g. coffee, soap, lemon) — it stays drinkable, but can no longer be used for wudu or ghusl.* Mutanajjis — impure water, contaminated by najasah (impurity). Cannot be used for wudu, ghusl, drinking, or washing — unless its volume reaches two qullah (roughly 200 litres), in which case a small amount of najasah does not affect it, provided the water's colour, smell, or taste has not changed. If it has changed, remove the source of contamination and the water may be purified again.This Week's Practice: Polishing the HeartThe Prophet ﷺ said that everything has a polish, and the polish for the heart is dhikr (remembrance of Allah). This week's homework is to recite the following daily, ideally before sleeping (roughly 10 minutes in total):* Astaghfirullah al-'Azim (”I seek the forgiveness of Allah, the Most Great”) — 100 times* Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim(sending blessings on the Prophet ﷺ) — 100 times* La ilaha illallah (”There is no god but Allah”) — 100 times, followed once by Muhammadun Rasulullah (”Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”)Students should track which days they complete this, ready to discuss next week.Key Terms Glossary* Fiqh — Islamic jurisprudence; knowledge of the rulings of the Shari'ah* Mukallaf — a person legally responsible/accountable under Shari'ah* Wajib — compulsory* Mandub / Sunnah — recommended* Mubah — permissible/neutral (the default ruling)* Makruh — disliked* Haram — prohibited* Tahara — purification* Mutlaq water — pure, naturally occurring water that purifies* Mushammas water — sun-heated water in a metal container (makruh to use on skin while hot)* Musta'mal water — previously used water; pure but cannot remove hadath again* Mutanajjis water — water contaminated by impurity (najasah)* Najasah — ritual impurity* Qullatayn / two qullah — a measure of water volume (approx. 200 litres) above which small impurities don't contaminate the water* Dhikr — remembrance of AllahSelf-Test Questions* What are the five categories that every human action falls under?* Give one example each of a wajib act and a mandub act.* What is the default ruling (the category everything starts in) for any action or object?* Give one example of something that started as makruh and later became haram, and explain why the ruling changed.* List the four types of water and give one distinguishing feature of each.* How much water (in litres) is generally needed for small amounts of najasah not to contaminate it?* What three phrases of dhikr were set as this week's homework, and how many times should each be recited?

Vor knapp einem Jahr, am 1. September 2025, hat das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz das Amtsgeheimnis in Österreich abgelöst – Zeit für eine erste Bilanz. Maximilian Werner, Innenpolitik-Redakteur beim "Standard" und einer der fleißigsten Anwender des neuen Gesetzes, erzählt im Gespräch mit Georg Renner, was das IFG in der Praxis taugt: Warum er vor Gericht das Recht auf Einsicht in den Kalender von Bundeskanzler Stocker erstritten hat (das Kanzleramt hat Revision erhoben), was der Tiergarten Schönbrunn über seinen Panda-Vertrag mit China verschweigen will und wieso die Vorarlberger Landesregierung ihr Abstimmungsverhalten zur Messenger-Überwachung geheim hält. Werner erklärt, wie eine IFG-Anfrage funktioniert, welche Ausnahmegründe die Behörden gerne strapazieren – Stichwort "Vorbereitung einer Entscheidung" – und warum die kurzen Fristen für Journalistinnen und Journalisten der eigentliche Fortschritt sind. Außerdem: Wie das Grundrecht auf Information und das Veto der Länder Österreich vor einem Rückbau der Transparenz schützen, wie er gerade in Deutschland diskutiert wird.

Class on Isha Upanisad on 21 July 2026 by Swami Sunishthananda.
Alternative grading systems are never really finished. They evolve as instructors learn more about their students, their courses, and their own teaching. In this reflective episode, Sharona and Boz use a recent six-year retrospective by mathematics instructor Hilary Freeman as a springboard for exploring what long-term iteration looks like in practice. Rather than focusing on how to implement an alternative grading system for the first time, the conversation examines the kinds of questions that emerge only after years of experience: Which parts of a grading system become simpler? Which become more sophisticated? And how do changing technologies, student needs, and classroom contexts continue to reshape even well-established courses? Through the lens of one instructor's journey, the hosts invite listeners to think of course design as an ongoing process of reflection, experimentation, and continuous improvement rather than a destination.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

Identity is central to Zero Trust, making it one of the most attractive targets for cyber attackers. While multi-factor authentication has long been a reliable way to ensure identity, traditional MFA has critical gaps. This week on Feds At the Edge, Mark Brennan from the New Jersey Department of Health, and YubiKey's Jeff Frederick, explore how phishing-resistant cryptography and hardware security keys provide stronger protection against modern identity-based threats while improving the user experience. The panel also examines why hardware-backed authentication is recognized in NIST SP 800-63 Revision 4 as a highly secure approach to cryptographic MFA and shares practical guidance for implementation, including starting with a phased rollout, engaging executive leadership early, and continuously refining the program to build user confidence and support long-term Zero Trust success. Tune in on your favorite podcast platform to discover how hardware-backed authentication can help agencies reduce identity-based attacks, strengthen security, and simplify the path to phishing-resistant MFA

In this return episode, Anika and Dick Wybrow break down the exact mindset shift required to transition between industries, why independent publishing outperforms traditional deals for genre fiction, and the counterintuitive truth about building a sustainable creative business: it's not about chasing trends—it's about finding your authentic voice and the people who love it.In This EpisodeCareer pivot from broadcast to books: How 20 years in comedy and TV prepared him for writing—and why it required complete humilityThe case for indie publishing: Why control, speed, and 70% royalties beat traditional publishing's marketing machineFinding your niche in a crowded market: Why humor is his unfair advantage against AI and how to defend your work in 2026Building a dedicated readership from zero: The power of responding to every email and comment—and why word-of-mouth beats paid adsThe narcolepsy reframe: How he transformed a "disability" into a creativity superpowerAudience growth without the hype: Why you don't announce your book—you quietly build your team of readersThe Substack experiment: Serializing a prequel, building SEO, and getting two revenue bites from one storyBalancing workaholic tendencies with life: Calendar blocking, time limits on creative tasks, and why delegation mattersFive actionable tips for aspiring authors: The exact framework for finishing your first book (no perfectionism allowed)The faith factor: How becoming a Christian shifted his storytelling toward hope and championing marginalized charactersTimestamps07:11 Learning humor writing: Mentors, analysis, and understanding structure11:35 Why independent publishing was the only option for his stories19:22 Why humor is the ultimate AI defense23:11 Finding your first dedicated readers: Authenticity and personal response31:06 Substack as serialization, SEO, and future revenue34:17 Calendar blocking and reframing narcolepsy as a creativity superpower40:09 Five tips for aspiring authors: The exact framework for finishing your book46:15 How faith shifted his storytelling toward hope and purposeKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Skill Transfer Requires Humility, Not ConfidenceDick had 20 years of broadcast success. Writing books is a different craft entirely. Rather than assuming he knew how to write, he became a student—finding mentors, analyzing structure in published works, and accepting he had "permission to be stupid" about the new medium. Confidence kills learning.Insight 2: Independent Publishing Wins for Niche VoicesTraditional publishers reject stories that are "strange" or don't fit market categories. Independent publishing gives you three critical advantages: (1) Complete creative control, (2) 3-4x faster release schedules, (3) 70% royalties instead of $1 per $14.99 book. For passionate authors with unique voices, this isn't a trade-off—it's freedom.Insight 3: Humor Is Your Unfair Advantage Against AIAI can generate content at scale. AI cannot be funny. Humor is what Dick calls "cultural voodoo"—nobody can define it precisely enough to code it. By writing humor-forward genre fiction, he's built immunity to AI competition that pure genre writers don't have. Authenticity and voice beat volume every time.Insight 4: Your Readers Are Built One Person at a TimeDick didn't build a following through viral moments. He built it by responding personally to every email and comment. Readers who feel seen become advocates. One person from 2019 (Neil) has been a loyal reader for seven years. That's lifetime value that no algorithm can buy.Insight 5: Five Steps to Actually Finish Your BookWrite the book you want to read (don't chase trends)Don't announce it (avoid the dopamine hit that kills momentum)Find 2-3 trusted readers (not family)Set a daily writing goal (even one sentence counts)Finish before you fix (first drafts are garbage—that's the point)The real permission slip: Give yourself permission to write badly. Every author writes garbage first drafts. Revision is where the work happens.Insight 6: Your Limitations Are Often Your Unfair AdvantagesDick has narcolepsy—he's half-asleep most of the time. Rather than fighting it, he reframed it as his creativity engine. Being in a dream-state means his mind wanders into places other people don't naturally go. That's where his best story ideas come from.

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! Trotz der Veruntreuung mehrerer Millionen Euro an EU-Geldern hat ein Berufungsgericht in Paris die Strafe gegen die Politikerin Marine Le Pen abgemildert. Dies hat zur Folge, dass ihr eine Teilnahme an der Präsidentschaftswahl 2027 grundsätzlich wieder möglich ist – jedoch unter der Auflage, eine Fußfessel zu tragen. Auch gegen dieses Urteil möchte Le Pen in Revision gehen. Zeitgleich tagt in Ankara der NATO-Gipfel. Bundeskanzler Merz kündigte dort deutsche Verteidigungsausgaben in Höhe von 124,7 Milliarden Euro an, um sich der im vergangenen Jahr beschlossenen Zielmarke von 5 Prozent des BIP für Verteidigung weiter anzunähern. US-Präsident Trump erhob unterdessen erneut Gebietsansprüche auf Grönland.
Oliver Burkhard, CEO von ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, hat mit dem Auftrag über bis zu zwölf U-Boote des Typs 212 CD den größten internationalen Rüstungsauftrag der Bundesrepublik an Land gezogen. Kanada entschied sich damit gegen Südkorea. Hinter dem Erfolg steht laut Burkhard eine beispiellose politische Rückendeckung aus Berlin, und er will das Tempo weiter erhöhen: „Ich glaube, wir brauchen es schneller, das Material. Und deswegen muss das Ziel sein, sogar schneller zu produzieren als das, was wir heute versprochen haben." Das letzte Boot soll Anfang der 2040er-Jahre geliefert werden. [07:04]Gitanas Nausėda, Präsident Litauens, spricht am Rande des NATO-Gipfels mit Wilhelmine Stenglin von Security.Table in Ankara über Verteidigungsausgaben und die Einheit des Bündnisses. [15:55]Stéphane Bonichot, Partner der Kanzlei Briard & Bonichot und Anwalt am französischen Kassationsgericht, vertritt Marine Le Pen im Revisionsverfahren vor der Cour de Cassation. Trotz zweier Verurteilungen hält er seine Mandantin für unschuldig und erwartet, dass das höchste Gericht das Gesetz anders auslegt. „Sie wird Revision beim Kassationsgericht einlegen und dadurch wird die Vollstreckung der Strafe ausgesetzt", sagt Bonichot – Le Pen kann damit vorerst ohne Fußfessel Wahlkampf machen. Eine Entscheidung erwartet er frühestens Anfang Januar und hält es für unwahrscheinlich, dass die Richter kurz vor der Wahl dann doch noch eine Fußfessel anordnen.

Fredrik snackar shaders med Mårten Rånge. Shaders är små program som skrivs i ett C-liknande språk (GLSL), körs direkt på grafikkort, och ritar grafik (eller skapar ljud) på ens skärm med ofta chockerande lite kod. Mårten ger en introduktion till shaders och vanliga tekniker och begrepp, och det blir mycket grafik, snabb respons, iterativ matematik och programmering med underbart korta återkopplingsloopar och fokus på resultatet. Hur påverkar shadertänk vardagsutvecklandet? Mårten tror att det kanske gett honom mer fokus på att faktiskt lösa problem. Skulle shaders - för rätt personer - kunna vara ett bra första programmeringsspråk? Mot slutet kommer vi också in på att bygga program för DOS och, inte minst, göra program som gör något häftigt och är så små det bara går. 300 bytes till exempel.

Im November 2022 erschien die erste Folge von »Auch das noch?«, dies ist unsere hundertste! Wir erzählen, welche Ideen, Innovationen und Science-Fiction uns gegen Weltuntergangsstimmung helfen. Wir haben eine Aufnahme von unserem Auftritt auf der diesjährigen re:publica im Gepäck. Dort haben wir unsere besten Beams vorgestellt, die Verlängerung von guten Ideen der Gegenwart in die Zukunft. Und natürlich fragen wir uns, ob und – wenn ja – wie es mit dem Krisenpodcast weitergehen soll. Was denken Sie? Was denkt ihr? Schreiben Sie uns an krisen@zeit.de. Diesmal weichen wir also ab von unserer gewohnten Form, die normalerweise so aussieht: In jeder Folge von »Auch das noch? Der freundliche Krisenpodcast« sprechen ZEIT-Politikredakteurin Petra Pinzler und Wissenschaftsredakteur Stefan Schmitt über eine Krise der Gegenwart: Es geht um die Klimakrise, das Artensterben, die Energiekrise und Kriege. Jedes Mal hilft eine Expertin oder ein Experte dabei, zu verstehen, wie alles zusammenhängt. Nicht um zu verzweifeln, sondern weil Verstehen der erste Schritt zur Lösung ist. Und um Lösungen geht es natürlich auch. Alle hundert Episoden sind im ZEIT-Podcastarchiv zu finden. Und viele sind nach wie vor aktuell. Shownotes: Die Zitate von früheren Gästinnen und Gästen stammen aus diesen Krisenpodcast-Episoden: - Episode 1, »Wie kommen wir da wieder raus?«, vom 10. November 2022 mit Achim Steiner und Hedwig Richter - Episode 4 über den Biodiversitätsverlust mit Matthias Glaubrecht vom 30. November 2022 - Episode 5, »Warum immer mehr Menschen flüchten müssen«, mit der Klimafluchtforscherin Kira Vinke vom 14. Dezember 2022 - Episode 68 über die Fluchtfantasien der Techmilliardäre mit Douglas Rushkoff in der KI-übersetzten deutschsprachigen Fassung vom 30. April 2025 Das ist das Buch zum freundlichen Krisenpodcast, das im Mai 2025 im Herder-Verlag erschienen ist: »Auch das noch!«. Die ZEIT-Kolumne, die dem Krisenpodcast entsprungen ist, heißt »Was, wenn's gelingt?« und erscheint alle zwei Wochen im Ressort Wissen. Alle bisher erschienenen Folgen können Sie auf unserer Serienseite nachlesen. Zu unserem »Gelingt's?« über die Luchse im Thüringer Wald erreichte uns nach dem re:publica-Auftritt der Hinweis auf dieses wunderbare Video: Ein wild lebender Luchs, aufgenommen von einer Wildkamera am Rennsteig nahe Steinbach-Hallenberg (vielen Dank für den Link, lieber Jörn!). Über diesen Artikel zur Revision der Klimaszenarien und der Desinformation in diesem Kontext haben wir uns im Intro unterhalten: »Schlimm genug wird es auch ohne Worst Case« (ZEIT, 20. Mai 2026).

Am 20. Februar 2026 beginnt vor dem Landgericht Köln der Prozess gegen zwei damals 20-jährige Nachwuchsspieler des 1. FC Köln. Die Staatsanwaltschaft wirft ihnen verbotenes Kraftfahrzeugrennen mit Todesfolge sowie gefährlichen Eingriff in den Straßenverkehr vor. Beide räumen ein, deutlich zu schnell gefahren zu sein. Ein Rennen habe es nicht gegeben. In dieser zweiten Episode sprechen wir über den Prozess, der zehn Verhandlungstage dauert. Wir erklären, warum das Verfahren mehr als zwei Jahre nach dem Unfall beginnt – und welche Rolle das Unfallrekonstruktionsgutachten dabei spielt. Wir schauen auf das zentrale Beweismittel: ein Handyvideo aus dem Audi, das die letzten Sekunden vor dem Aufprall zeigt und das die Aussagen beider Angeklagter widerlegt. Und wir sprechen über die Erkenntnisse der Rechtspsychologin, die beide Angeklagten exploriert hat – über narzisstische Bewältigungsstrategien, fehlenden Zugang zu Emotionen und den Druck, dem beide ausgesetzt waren. Am 22. April 2026 fällt das Urteil. Der Richter stellt klar: Das war kein tragischer Unfall, sondern ein Verbrechen. Das Urteil ist noch nicht rechtskräftig – beide Angeklagte haben Revision eingelegt. Wir sprechen außerdem über Andreas Wrede, Ylvis Vater, der als Nebenkläger am Ende des Prozesses das Wort ergreift – und über die Frage, warum ein 18-Jähriger in Deutschland ein 300-PS-Auto steuern darf, aber kein PS-starkes Motorrad. Zu Gast ist GA-Reporterin Sarah Remsky, die alle zehn Verhandlungstage begleitet hat.

Praying for our July (or whenever we might be in transition) to be a fulfilling month of seeing anew.
Tune in to the latest episode of our EUnpacked podcast series, where we unpack the forthcoming revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) – the EU's flagship climate policy and one of its most consequential regulatory frameworks for business. With the European Commission's legislative proposal which has just been postponed for publication on 17 July. The debate is intensifying around key issues including the future pace of emissions reductions, reforms to free allocation, the role of carbon removals and international credits, and the possible extension of the system to new sectors. In this episode, Freshfields' EU Regulatory & Public Affairs Senior Consultant Karl Thies is joined by James Chapman, Partner in the firm's Energy and Infrastructure practice, and Stefan Schröder, Partner in the firm's Energy Regulatory practice, to discuss what the revision could mean for companies' investment decisions, competitiveness, and decarbonisation strategies in the years ahead.

Send us Fan MailThere's a practice Neville Goddard taught that most people gloss over — and it's the one that actually changes things at the root. Not affirmations. Not vision boards. Not pushing through resistance. Revision.Revision is the practice of going back to the experiences — the conversations, the failures, the moments where something painful crystallized into a belief — and rewriting them. Not pretending they didn't happen. Rewriting what they mean. And in doing so, shifting the assumption that has been quietly shaping your present life ever since.In this episode, we go deep into why revision works, how the Law of Assumption connects to your daily patterns, and exactly how to do the practice tonight — step by step, in Neville's own tradition.✦ Why your patterns are not character flaws — they're the output of an old assumption ✦ How Neville Goddard's revision practice shifts the consciousness beneath the pattern ✦ The exact steps to do revision in the state akin to sleep ✦ Why the past is never as fixed as it feels — and how to use that ✦ A one-night practice you can try before you go to sleep tonight

Water utility work depends on more than technical knowledge. It depends on clear procedures, current documents, practical training, and performance conversations that reflect what operators actually do in the field. In Episode 481, Trace Blackmore, CWT, welcomes back Kalpna Solanki, President and CEO at GAMECHANGERS Inc., for a practical conversation on building stronger utilities through standard operating procedures, competencies, and performance evaluations. Kalpna shares how outdated SOPs, disconnected training tools, and top-down documentation can create risk, confusion, and missed learning opportunities. SOPs That Match the Work Kalpna defines an SOP as a documented process that provides clear instructions for specific tasks or activities. Her current work with water utilities includes procedures for water main installation, flushing, customer complaints, meter installation, meter readings, and other distribution team responsibilities. The key issue is not whether an organization has SOPs. Many do. The bigger question is whether those documents still match the field reality. Kalpna describes reviewing SOPs that reference retired staff, outdated contact information, and procedures written by people who may no longer be close to the work. Her approach starts with the operators. The people doing the work help revise the documents, confirm what is accurate, and identify what needs to change. Revision dates, organized SOP libraries, and clear naming structures help teams avoid using the wrong version. From Procedures to Competencies Kalpna explains that SOPs should not sit alone in a file system. They should inform competency frameworks that define the knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors needed for the job. For example, an SOP may explain how to perform a fire hydrant teardown. A related competency tool can help confirm whether an operator knows how to do that work safely and correctly. The results can then guide mentoring, training, and performance evaluation. This turns performance evaluation into a two-way process. Rather than simply telling employees what they did or did not do, supervisors can use competency checklists to identify gaps, determine needed resources, and support development. Field Access, Video, and Ownership Kalpna also shares how the Capital Regional District project extends SOPs beyond written documents. Once an SOP is revised and approved, her team creates a field video using operators as the subjects. The video is tied back to the written SOP, giving employees the option to read, watch, or use both formats depending on how they learn best. QR codes make the system even more useful. Operators can scan a code in the field and access the relevant SOP or video without leaving the work location, searching a large document library, or relying on memory. That access matters. As Kalpna puts it, when processes are too complicated, people are more likely to wing it. In water utility work, that can affect safety, consistency, compliance, and service quality. Water Stories and Water Reuse Kalpna also shares her personal water story, from growing up near the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls to living near the Thames River in London and later near protected watersheds in Vancouver. Her experiences shape how she thinks about water availability, source protection, and the responsibility of the industry. The conversation closes with a look at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, where a full-scale wastewater treatment facility operates beneath the building. Treated effluent is reused for toilet flushing and rooftop garden irrigation, reducing freshwater demand and municipal sewer load. For Kalpna, this points to a larger shift in language and mindset. Wastewater is not simply waste. It is a resource with future value for reuse, reclamation, and water-stressed industries. Listen to the full conversation above. Explore related episodes below. Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge! Timestamps 01:10 — Trace welcomes Kalpna Solanki back and notes her previous Scaling UP! H2O appearance in Episode 435 on backflow prevention. 01:50 — Kalpna shares what has changed since her last visit, including the launch of GAMECHANGERS Inc. and her work with nonprofits, government agencies, and water utilities. 02:40 — Kalpna explains the two criteria she uses when choosing where to contribute: the opportunity to contribute and the opportunity to learn. 03:40 — Kalpna introduces the Water Environment Federation and its broad role in the water sector, with a strong focus on wastewater. 04:10 — The conversation turns to WEFTEC, AI, data centers, and the Water AI Nexus Center for Excellence. 08:20 — Kalpna defines an SOP as a documented process that provides clear instructions for specific tasks or activities. 08:40 — Kalpna describes her work with the Capital Regional District and water distribution teams serving more than 400,000 people with drinking water. 09:40 — Kalpna explains why SOPs should be developed with field staff, not only by managers who may be removed from day-to-day operations. 10:40 — SOPs connect to competencies by defining the knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors employees need to perform work effectively. 11:40 — Kalpna frames performance evaluation as a two-way process for identifying training needs, resources, and competency gaps. 13:00 — Trace asks how organizations can align SOPs with what operators actually do in the field. 13:20 — Kalpna describes the risk of dated SOPs, including documents that reference retired staff or obsolete contact information. 14:00 — Kalpna explains how SOP nomenclature and organized folders help operators find the current procedure quickly. 15:30 — The discussion shifts to video-based SOPs that support different learning styles and increase field usability. 19:50 — Kalpna adds that QR codes can take operators directly to the relevant SOP and linked video in the field. 20:25 — Kalpna explains why simplicity matters: if the process is too complicated, people are more likely to wing it. 21:10 — Safety enters the competency discussion, with Kalpna explaining why SOP-based competencies can better reflect actual field work. 22:20 — Kalpna outlines her starting process with a utility: review the SOPs, determine what is dated or missing, divide them by operational area, and prioritize revisions. 24:10 — Kalpna describes how SOPs for water main upgrades can be translated into a competency framework. 25:00 — Technical and leadership competencies are discussed, including behavioral indicators that supervisors can use with operators. 26:30 — Kalpna introduces application exams, remote proctoring, and future AI-assisted marking as part of the hiring process. 28:05 — The conversation turns to culture, ownership, and how staff involvement can create empowerment rather than top-down compliance. 29:55 — Kalpna urges listeners to look at the intersection between SOPs, competencies, and performance evaluations. 32:40 — Kalpna shares her personal water story, beginning with childhood walks near the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls. 34:15 — Kalpna connects her experiences in London and Vancouver to water availability, source protection, and the value of safe drinking water. 37:00 — In the lightning round, Kalpna describes her superpower as seeing organizations from a high-level perspective and imagining what they could become. 38:35 — Kalpna shares a major accomplishment: leading a CRM project that succeeded because the people doing the work were involved. 40:25 — Kalpna discusses a water operator training and certification project in Kenya with Water Professionals International and GAMECHANGERS Inc. 41:55 — Kalpna answers the magic wand question with the Water Environment Federation vision statement: "life free of water challenges." 43:10 — Kalpna recommends five books spanning personal values, scaling systems, resilience, memoir, and nonprofit governance. Quotes "When it comes to how that leads to competencies, competencies refer to the knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors that employees need to perform their job effectively." "Because I think if things are too complicated, people are going to be more tempted to wing it." "I need their feedback to get the reality of their job on a day-to-day basis." "I think that one of the key things is really look at the intersection between SOPs, competencies and performance evaluations." "Life free of water challenges." "We talk about wastewater, but it's not waste really, it's a resource."

The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this episode of The Cut, our hosts Kim K. Tucker, MD and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guests Craig J. Della Valle, MD, George J. Haidukewych, MD and Rafael J. Sierra, MD to discuss three different papers focusing on dual mobility, constrained liners and trends. Dr. Sierra began discussing the first paper/study on dual mobility. Dr. Sierra had some sheer takeaways that he wanted all surgeons to know such as surgeons should always look for an excuse to revise the cup in a revision. It’s extremely important to do this. Our second paper/study on constrained liners when abductor muscles are gone or dual mobility has already failed was discussed by Dr. Haidukewych. And lastly, the final paper/study on what is driving revisions in the US was discussed by Dr. Della Valle. In this recording, our guests share a great deal of knowledge on revision arthroplasty. If your patients are in need of revision surgery, this is a podcast you don’t want to miss. For more, listen to the full recording here. Thanks for listening to The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut!

Today we will be discussing central retinal artery occlusions, or CRAOs, and the recent trials that have come out and even those further on the horizon. The 2026 American Heart Association and American Stroke Association guidelines for the early management of patients with acute ischemic stroke were recently published and in them highlight the uncertainty around the treatment of acute CRAOs with intravenous thrombolysis, even when the patient presents within four and a half hours and is otherwise eligible. These guidelines come after two recent trials, which we will further discuss. The thrombolysis in patients with acute central retinal artery occlusion, or the THEIA trial, was published in the November issue of Lancet Neurology. This multicenter trial out of France randomized 70 patients with acute CRAOs presented within four and a half hours of time from last known well to either receive IV alteplase and oral placebo or IV placebo and oral aspirin. While safety measures showed no symptomatic hemorrhage event, although they did have one asymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage occur, the primary outcomes, which included visual acuity improvement at one month, showed some evidence for a trend of improved acuity in the IV thrombolytic group at 66% compared to 48 in the aspirin group, it did not reach significant. And now more recently, the Tenecteplase in central retinal artery occlusion study, or TenCRAOs, was published in the January 2026 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. TenCRAOs was a six European country multicenter trial that randomized 78 patients with CRAOs all presenting within four and a half hours of time from last known well to either receive IV Tenecteplase or aspirin, both with placebo-matching as in THEIA. The primary outcomes of TenCRAOs also included visual acuity at one month, but unfortunately this trial also did not show [inaudible 00:02:07]. They showed 20% in the IV TNK group compared to 24% in aspirin. And additionally, there was one fatal intracerebral hemorrhage in the TNK group that should be considered. Overall, the AHA and ASA guidelines state the usefulness of treatment with intravenous thrombolysis is uncertain. And this is based largely on these studies as neither trial showed improved visual recovery. Although both of these trials are underpowered, leading many to believe that the jury is still out on the use of IV thrombolytics in CRAOs. But importantly, stay on the lookout for one last trial. The early reperfusion therapy with intravenous alteplase for recovery of vision and acute central retinal artery occlusion, or the Revision trial, is actively recruiting. Revision is similar in design as THEIA, but with a goal of up to 422 total patients for a goal of a well-powered study to guide decision making.

Late summer 1958. A woman named L.H. sits in a California doctor's office and receives the verdict she has been dreading for thirty-nine years — spinal fusion, the only option left. She has lived with the same pain since she was a child swinging too high on a swing set. Every morning since. Every evening on the heating pad as her children grew up around her. Then she discovers a man named Neville Goddard. Two months later the pain is gone. Permanently. The surgery is cancelled.I take you inside the most powerful manifestation technique Neville ever taught — and the one he said would change everything. Four witnesses across four decades. A 1978 thought experiment by physicist John Wheeler that quietly confirmed the entire mechanism. And a practice you can do tonight, before you sleep, that begins rewriting the architecture of your past while your body rests.

We had a nice discussion around this topic as well! Then, we talked about smaller portions for meals at Walt Disney World (as well as quality of those meals), surprises for 11-year old boys at the Magic Kingdom, room requests at Caribbean Beach, and much more!
