Mateo 5:5“Bienaventurados los mansos, porque recibirán la tierra por heredad”.Si la evolución ofrece un mensaje al hombre moderno es este, “Bienaventurados los que son agresivos”. Y aunque a menudo la naturaleza es utilizada para ilustrar el valor de este principio, también puede ser utilizado para ilustrar lo opuesto a este principio.Las cucarachas tanzanianas macho compiten entre sí por tener un estatus entre la población a través de duras competencias de lucha. Cuando una de esas competencias termina aquellos machos con el estatus más bajo se van de prisa. La evolución argumentaría que los machos con un estatus más alto serían los más populares con las hembras, sin embargo lo contrario es cierto. Los machos de un estatus alto se comunican primordialmente utilizando los aromas de dos feromonas, los machos de menor estatus utilizan tres. Y las hembras prefieren la tercera feromona que es casi inexistente en los machos de estatus alto. Para contradecir aún más el pensamiento evolucionista, la preferencia de las hembras por los machos de bajo estatus también conlleva a que menos machos nazcan en la próxima generación, y menos críos en conjunto. Los científicos evolucionistas admiten que este arreglo va contra toda idea evolucionista acerca de la selección sexual. Tampoco pueden encontrar ninguna ventaja evolucionista que favorecería este desarrollo.La verdadera ciencia busca simplemente describir la naturaleza sin intentar encajarla en ningún sistema ideológico. Este es un buen ejemplo de la creación que no encaja en la interpretación evolucionista. También puede ser utilizado como un ejemplo del principio de Dios de que los mansos heredarán la tierra.Oración: Amado Padre, ayúdame a ser tu humilde siervo. En nombre de Cristo Jesús.

Twenty-six years ago, I was a few months into my first ever radio gig. Tweny-six years ago, Papa Roach were putting out their second full-length album and first to be released on a major label called Infest. Not too long after that, I met Jacoby while doing radio stuff, and he was doing press, and we've stayed in touch ever since. So when Papa Roach, who are fresh off the biggest year of their carreer released a new song, I reached out and said let's chat for my show The Cutting Edge Countdown and for this podcast Cutter's Rockcast. There's a lot to celebrate if you're Jacoby Shaddix, and new music is only part of it.*photo credit for this episode belongs to Decker from Razor 94.4/1047*

The delicious, healthful prune has long had a cross to bear: It's best known for making people poop. In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig. In a world where every product and person increasingly believes it's one good rebrand away from changing how they are seen, the story of the prune's attempt to become the “dried plum” is a telling tale about the impossibility of escaping who you really are—and the freedom that comes with self-acceptance. You'll hear from Richard Peterson, retired Executive Director of the California Prune Board; food writer and chef David Liebovitz; lawyer and lobbyist Dan Haley; and Kiaran Locy, Director of Brand and Industry Communications at the California Prune Board.This episode was written by Willa Paskin.

At a time when America's meat industry faces increasing consolidation, fragile supply chains, and the closure of rural processing facilities, Better For Butchery's acquisition of the Princeton Kentucky plant represents a rare, forward-looking investment in independent meat infrastructure. Backed by USDA Rural Development financing, the facility will serve as a scalable, high-integrity co-packing and processing hub designed to help farmers, ranchers, and emerging meat brands reach market without sacrificing quality, transparency, or control.  USDA Rural Development played ia critical role n enabling the acquisition. The facility was financed through an MPILP loan backed by the USDA  aimed at strengthening rural economies, expanding domestic meat processing capacity, and supporting independent producers seeking alternatives to large-scale industrial packers. the facility now serves as Better For Butchery's centralized processing, packaging, cold storage, and fulfillment hub. Purpose-built to support third-party brands, the operation enables consistent quality, reliable scheduling, and national distribution for farmers and food businesses that have historically struggled to access scalable processing. Better For Butchery's acquisition marks a turning point for the company—from turnaround operator to platform-scale processor—and formally launches its co-packing and third-party processing services for emerging and established food brands committed to ethical sourcing and operational transparency. Chris Roach, CEO of Better Butchery joins Farm To Table TAlk to share what's possible when public investment and private execution align. “With USDA Rural Development's support, we're rebuilding meat infrastructure in a way that works for farmers, workers, and brands alike—right here in rural Kentucky. Our approach is proving that modern, compliant, and values-driven meat processing can be decentralized to establish a new meat economy that is better for farmers, better for animals and better for all of us.” www.BetterForButhery.com  www.porterroad.com

In this episode, Evan H. Hirsch, MD welcomes Troy Roach, a citizen scientist and educator, to discuss the revolutionary use of low-dose nicotine patches in the treatment of Long COVID. Troy Roach, originally from California and a graduate of Virginia Tech, works as a Medical English teacher for nursing and physiotherapy students at two universities in Madrid, Spain. After being severely debilitated by COVID-19 in March 2020, with his functional capacity reduced to approximately 30 percent, Troy dedicated himself to Long COVID as a citizen scientist. He joined the Renegade Research community, including Remission Biome, and spearheaded an observational study in 2023 on the use of low-dose nicotine patches for the condition. This study analyzed data from 231 participants, with the results published alongside Dr. Leitzke in 2025. Troy is currently preparing for a longitudinal, IRB-approved follow-up study aimed at further developing evidence-based recovery strategies for Long COVID. In this episode, you'll learn: Why nicotine patches differ from smoking or vaping How the cholinergic system and vagus nerve are involved in Long COVID What the "toxic five" are and how they relate to recovery Safe dosing strategies, brands, and protocols used by thousands Why some patients experience "remission events" after just a few doses Key risks, detox reactions, and how to prepare the body for nicotine use Learn more about Troy's work, community and resources: Blog: https://unitedstatesian.blogspot.com/   Main Resources: https://linktr.ee/thenicotinetest .

In this episode, we're joined by deep value investor Lee Roach, author of The Value Road Substack, to explore what it really means to find value where no one else is looking.Lee shares his unconventional path from working overnight shifts in a manufacturing plant to becoming a full-time investor and writer. We dive into his approach to deep value investing, with a focus on micro-cap and nano-cap stocks, why “cheap” isn't enough without a catalyst, and how patience and psychology play a critical role when prices move against you.We also discuss the tradeoffs of investing in illiquid markets, how to distinguish between stocks that are cheap for a reason versus simply ignored, and why smaller investors may actually have an edge in parts of the market institutions can't touch.This is a thoughtful conversation about process, discipline, and doing the work others won't — not chasing hype, but uncovering opportunity in the market's blind spots.Join the premium Skippy and Doogles fan club.

  When Daniel wrote that he had a new mix based around silence I knew it would be good. Then I saw the tracklist and I knew it would be great. He includes cuts from some of my favorite artists - Halftribe, Innesti, Sonmi451, Loscil, and A Produce. The A Produce track is one of my favorite ambienbt tracks of all time. Here's what Daniel says about his new mix: Claude Debussy once wrote: “The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between them”, suggesting that music's emotional impact, beauty, and expression come from the pauses and spacing between sounds.  The first thing I think of is Eno's classic Music for Airports - man did I fall in love with that album.  Roach's Dream Circle comes to mind - low and slow - the music just seems to breathe.  Of course you have the steady state drone stuff from Grassow and friends, which I like - but there is no real structure - that's the point I guess.  I tried to pick work for this mix that had at least a bit of melody, but plenty of silence to define the notes.  There is a sweet spot that when achieved sends me at least into a deep peaceful space.  I'm thinking we all need to spend some time in that space these days to recharge and nurture our sanity.  Hoping this mix might help with that my friends.  Thanks, Daniel, for another excellent mix.
