Today we are sharing the first of our Blister Summit 2025 panel sessions, and we've got a great one to kick things off. We're asking the pros — Hoji, Ted, Anne, and Jess — how they go about assessing and testing ski and snowboard gear, and what advice they have for the rest of us? Plus you'll hear Ted share one of his favorite (but questionable??) ways of testing skis.RELATED LINKS:Get Yourself Covered: BLISTER+ BLISTER YouTube ChannelTOPICS & TIMES:BLISTER+ Updates (00:00)Intros (5:34)Evaluating Prototypes (8:21)Assessing Gear for Yourself (11:35)Going in Blind vs Getting Info First (18:05)Gear You Liked but Didn't Expect to?

Romania made headlines—and shocked the world—when it annulled a presidential election at the end of last year, citing evidence of foreign interference aimed at supporting a pro-Russian far-right candidate. It was a bold and necessary move, one that stands in stark contrast to what the U.S. should have done—and is now facing the consequences for not doing. But why would Romania take such a decisive stand? The answer lies in its history. Romania's Moscow-backed dictatorship was among the most brutal behind the Iron Curtain, a painful past that still unites much of the country today. In this week's episode, we delve into Romania's complex history, weaving in a personal story from Andrea's own family. Her father-in-law, Mihai Victor Serdaru, a medical student in 1956 Bucharest, attempted to lead a student protest in solidarity with the Hungarian Uprising next door. To help make sense of her years of research, Andrea turned to Dr. Corina Snitar, a historian and Lecturer in Central and Eastern European Studies at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Dr. Snitar is the author of Opposition, Repression, and Cold War: The 1956 Student Movement in Timișoara and contributed the chapter Women's Experiences of 1956: Student Protesters and Partisans in Romania to the book Women's Experiences of Repression in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The discussion of how to topple a dictator will continue in this week's bonus show for our Patreon community, where we'll dive into a lively book club salon for political scientist Gene Sharp's revolutionary handbook, From Dictatorship to Democracy. Sharp's work has inspired liberation movements worldwide, and we'll explore its urgent lessons for us today. Look for that on Friday. A huge thank you to everyone who supports the show. We could not make Gaslit Nation without you! “Just as military officers must understand force structures, tactics, logistics, munitions, the effects of geography, and the like in order to plot military strategy, political defiance planners must understand the nature and strategic principles of nonviolent struggle.” ― Gene Sharp, From Dictatorship to Democracy   Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Choose LifeThroughout the Bible, we read story after story of decision-making. In every example, the outcome is determined by the quality of the character's choice. Our lives are no different. God has laid out the options for us and given us sound direction in making those decisions. As we approach the crossroads of a new year, it is a natural time to evaluate and plan on making decisions that lead to life. Deuteronomy 30:15-20 ESV15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. 16 If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” • • •God Provides the Options • • •Genesis 2:16-17 ESV16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” • • •Deuteronomy 30:15 ESV15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. • • •We Make the Decision • • •Deuteronomy 30:19 ESV19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.

This is Part 2 of our 2-part series on how to evaluate a vacation rental market.Vacation rental properties have become a popular way for families to skip the cramped accommodations of a hotel and rent out larger spaces when they head to the beach, mountains, woods, or even into many city centers.Many people want the independence of a vacation rental but they don't know how to evaluate the market and if it will work for them.When you are looking into purchasing a vacation rental property and listing it on Airbnb and VRBO, it is important that you know how to evaluate the market for them so that you can get the best value in your purchase.Have a Backup PlanRules, regulations, and markets change.Know how your vacation rental would perform as a LTR or as a sale as a non-vacation property.Research the Hotel MarketHotels are your competitors, and researching the market can expose saturated or underserved marketsWhat are the hotel rates, vacancies, amenities, and quality?These are stronger competition in slower seasons, when stays are typically shorter.Don't Rule Out the Less Popular PlacesVacation rental markets are still dictated by supply and demand.In-demand locations are obvious as popular vacation spots and are the prototypical vacation rentals.People still travel to less popular places all the time for family reunions, weddings, and other personal connections.Research into some less in-demand locations may reveal an acute shortage in supply - very few STRs or hotels.  Hosting in these markets may provide some opportunities to serve the lower, but still underserved, demandJoin Jason Muth and Attorney / Broker Rory Gill of NextHome Titletown and UrbanVillage Legal in Boston, Massachusetts for another episode of The Real Estate Law Podcast!_____________________Do you have questions for us?

Day 2 of Bendfest 2019 is drifting further in the past, but that doesn’t mean we can’t relive it! In this interview summary, Jacob sits down with Creagh Boulger and Jenn Cotton and they talk about ultrasound in shock and pregnancy.  Here are the salient points:  Creagh Boulger (Ultrasound in Shock) Mnemonics can be helpful, but not every patient needs the same exam every time.   First step for Dr. Boulger: Is it the pump (cardiac contractility) and/or is it the pipes (Preload)? Other things can cause shock that aren’t in the typical hypotensive algorithm (Gallbladder, Soft tissue, etc) Jenn Cotton (Pregnancy) Don’t get tricked by the hCG! You can have ruptured ectopics at hCG = 0. Additionally, viable pregnancies with hCG levels above the “discriminatory zone” and not visualized on US can still be viable Our job is to RULE IN uterine pregnancies, not RULE OUT ectopics.  Fertility treatments increase risk of heterotopic ultrasounds Don’t be scared of performing a transvaginal ultrasound.  Day 3’s summary will be out soon!If you’re interested in an online ultrasound fellowship, check out www.ultrasoundleadershipacademy.com

You are about to listen to a series of stories where the victims never thought they'd be lost. The vast majority of these stories have never been documented before at this level. Dave Paulides, author of the book Missing 411 - Hunters - Unexplained Disappearances, part of a series backed by the CanAm Project, decided to delve deeper and investigate a subset of missing persons, specifically those who disappeared in National Parks and Forests. Dave identified a deeper subset of missing person that hit home with us, specifically hunters with skill sets whom you could never imagine deemed missing, much less lost,  all of which were never found.  Dave explains how he first came across this unusual subset of missing victims,  shares with us five of the many stories in his book, and attempts to put some perspective on what each of these cases have in common.  OUR SPONSORS: The Treestand Wingman,  Covert Scouting Cameras, Horny Buck Seed Company, The Enforcer, Morse's Sporting Goods, Strut Zone NWTF, Northwoods Common Scents, BIG BUCK MERCH  DEER NEWS: New Law Helps Towns Cull Deer  Disease Kills 100s of Deer Before Deer Season Did You Know?  Massive Decline in Hunters HERE'S WHAT WE DISCUSS: National Parks, Investigative Urge Different Types of Missing Person Cases Disappearing People in Parks Freedom of Information Acts, Attorney's Call No Lists of Missing Persons in Parks George Knapp - Dave They're Lying Profile Points, Clusters in North America Missing 411, 1600 Disappearances in Rural Areas 99% Alone at Time of Disappearance Animal Predation, Rule Out, Exclusions An Unusual Sub Group The Most Experienced Hunter Yukon Territory 2004, Bart Schlyer 100s of Cases of Missing Hunters A Disagreement  About What Went Down A Local Report for Local Consumption A Political Dismissal  Maine, November 13, 1993 Disrobing and Hypothermia The Adirondacks, Thomas Messick Lilly Lake, 82 Years of Age and a Team of FBI Cadaver Dogs A Fallen Tree The Southern Coast of Oregon Searching for Months and Months Emails from Hunters and a Physicist Predator, and Anonymous Reporting A Paradigm, True Stories, No Easy Explanations Safety Tips and Cuz Strickland The CanAm Missing Project Our APP: www.BigBuckRegistry.com/app Help Support This Show: www.BigBuckRegistry.com/pledge FEEDBACK HOTLINE: 724-613-2825 REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE on iTUNES and Stitcher: www.BigBuckRegistry.com/itunes www.BigBuckRegistry.com/stitcher Want to Know When the Next Big Buck Podcast is Released?

Traditionally we've run at least 2 troponins 6 or 8 hours apart to help rule out MI and recently in algorithms like the HEART score we've combined clinical data with a 2 or 3 hour delta troponin to help rule out MI. The paper we'll be discussing here is a multicentre/multinantional study from the Canadian Medical Association Journal from this year out of Switzerland entitled "Prospective validation of a 1 hour algorithm to rule out and rule in acute myocardial infarction using a high sensitivity cardian troponin T assay" with lead author Tobias Reichlin. It not only looks at whether or not we can rule out MI using a delta troponin at only 1 hour but whether or not we can expedite the ruling in of MI using this protocol.

Matthew 8:1-17Several weeks ago we read these opening words from Matthew chapter 5: “When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain”. That was the start of the Sermon on the Mount. Now, three chapters later, Jesus finally comes back down the mountain.When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. 2 And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 3 Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”Back in chapter 4, verse 23, we read this:“Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.”So the earthly ministry of Jesus is summed up with these three action verbs - teaching, proclaiming, and healing.For the last three chapters Jesus has been teaching and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom. The last few verses of chapter 7 were “28 When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; 29 for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.”Jesus' teaching was filled with authority; now He is going to focus on healing as a demonstration of that same authority.The first healing that Jesus performs is cleansing a man of leprosy. Fortunately for us, leprosy as a disease has been pretty much eradicated, but back then it was a horrible disfiguring disease for which the only cure was a miracle.According to the Law of Moses the key to identifying whether a skin disease was “unclean” was whether the skin seemed to be rotting away, The person afflicted with a serious skin disease behaved was excluded from the camp, essentially banished from society to live in the fringe areas with other lepers. This was not only to protect the health of the rest of the people, but because the presence of God was in the camp and anything unclean had to be separated from the presence of God.   Numbers 5:1-4 says; Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel that they send away from the camp every leper and everyone having a discharge and everyone who is unclean because of a dead person. 3 You shall send away both male and female; you shall send them outside the camp so that they will not defile their camp where I dwell in their midst.” 4 The sons of Israel did so and sent them outside the camp; just as the Lord had spoken to Moses, thus the sons of Israel did.This exclusion from the community was a complete separation, even from close family members, becausetouching a leper also made the person who touched them temporarily unclean, even though that person didn't actually have the disease. Leviticus 15:7says “Also whoever touches the person with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.”That's what makes Jesus' choice to TOUCH this leper so incredible, because the moment Jesus touched him, Jesus could have been declared UNCLEAN! But of course Jesus is acting with AUTHORITY, so in this case the leper becomes clean rather than Jesus becoming unclean.His command to the leper to keep silent may seem surprising to us, but it was apparently meant to prevent a crowd of miracle seekers from gathering and hindering Jesus from continuing on His main mission.The account of this same miracle in Mark 1:40-45 gives us a little more detail as to why this was a reason for concern:“And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. 43 And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away, 44 and He said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45 But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere”.Rather than running out and blabbing about his healing, Jesus wanted the leper to go and be seen the priest, because by showing himself to the priest, the cleansed leper would be able to rejoin Jewish society.Leviticus 14:2-3 says “This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. Now he shall be brought to the priest, 3 and the priest shall go out to the outside of the camp. Thus the priest shall look, and if the infection of leprosy has been healed in the leper”.Now Jesus demonstrates an even greater level of healing authority: 5 And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, 6 and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.” 7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!' and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!' and he does it.” 10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. 11 I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12 but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that very moment.Centurions were Roman military officers in charge of one hundred soldiers. They weren't generally liked by the people of Israel but according to Luke's account of this miracle in Luke 7, this centurion was different from most, causing some of the Jewish elders to speak on his behalf:4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him; 5 for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue.”Jesus actually uses the faith of this centurion, who is obviously a Gentile, to prophesy that the gospel will be extended past Israel to reach the Gentiles.When Jesus says in verse 11 that “many will come from east and west and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” He is making a reference to the messianic banquet described in Isaiah 25:6–9 “The Lord of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain;A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow,And refined, aged wine.7 And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples,Even the veil which is stretched over all nations.8 He will swallow up death for all time,And the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces,And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth;For the Lord has spoken.9 And it will be said in that day,“Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us.This is the Lord for whom we have waited;Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”.In these same verses, Jesus also points out that the people of Israel will harden their hearts towards the gospel while the Gentiles are embracing it.It's the same thing that the Apostle Paul talks about in Romans 9:30–3230 What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith; 31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.”Because the people of Israel try to pursue righteousness by their own works they don't obtain it, but the Gentiles, who know they deserve only condemnation, seek God for His mercy and therefore they obtain it.The final individual healing miracle in this section is one that was a little closer to home: 14 When Jesus came into Peter's home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.Luke's account in chapter 4 adds a few details:38 Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her. 39 And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them.One of the interesting things about Luke's account is that he says Jesus left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Archeologists have actually found the site of Simon Peter's house in Capernaum and it was right next door to the synagogue! Luke, who was a doctor, also mentions that she had a “High” fever, and that Jesus “rebuked” the fever, showing again that He was operating with authority.After these three individual healings, Jesus begins to bring forth the authority of heaven against all sorts of infirmities:16 When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “He Himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases.”This is a quote from Isaiah 53:4-5“Surely our griefs He Himself bore,And our sorrows He carried;Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,Smitten of God, and afflicted.5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions,He was crushed for our iniquities;The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,And by His scourging we are healed.”When it says that Jesus bore our “griefs”, that represents our sins AND our physical suffering as well. I like the wording of verse 5 that says “The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him”.Our “well-being” – Jesus wants us to BE WELL, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. And He has the AUTHORITY to MAKE us well!Here's one last thought from these healings that I want you to consider: Does Jesus want to make YOU well?In other words, you may accept that fact that Jesus saves, heals and delivers people, but are you certain that He wants to save, heal and deliver YOU?Because sometimes we feel as though we aren't WORTHY of what Jesus wants to give us, so we RULE OUT from our lives the possibility of receiving the very things that Jesus is desiring to bless us with!So think about this: In Jewish society, three groups of people that were considered the least valuable, the least important, the least worthy of ANYTHING, were lepers, Romans, and women.And who does Jesus come to bring divine healing to as he demonstrates the authority of the Kingdom of God? He chooses a leper, a Roman, and a woman!Let me assure you today that you are NOT disqualified from receiving ANY of the things that God wants to pour into your life, no matter who you are or what kind of background you have, or how much other people look down on you, GOD wants to bless you today, and more than that, He wants to USE you to be a blessing to others!
