Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Fez. We talk about its platforming and how it fits to taste, game style, and rule escalation. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More cubes! Issues covered: platforming feelings and taste, inspirations and how they play out here, additional move set, floaty physics, a mental game with mostly generous platforming, a game that takes place in your head rather than in your fingers, seeking high highs, sloppiness and guiding the player, no longer seeing the whole world but only the tells, the pleasure of figuring things out, checking out the achievements, how many people get everything, the craft of the game, wanting to feel capable, finding a solution that was not the intended solution, dominated by the puzzle side, those moments where you give a big "no way," extending a simple idea and iterating on it for a fleshed-out game, iterating ideas, a chain of implication, not making the leaps of logic too large, ladders that line up and teach you how to think about the world, not knowing whether you can do a thing yet, not wanting to diminish the revelations, puzzles games Brett hasn't finished and why, editorial from the publisher and Key Performance Indicators, finding a tribe for your indie game, side games, smaller and more cohesive teams, a choose-your-own-email, having an experience, leaving endings open.

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Tom Patten, a London-based US International Tax Partner at PwC. Tom focuses on inbound investment into the U.S. and returns to the podcast for a timely discussion on Sections 891 and 899, two lesser-known but increasingly important provisions in the international tax landscape.  Doug and Tom discuss the resurgence of Section 891 in light of a January 2025 executive order that directs Treasury to identify discriminatory or extraterritorial foreign taxes. They cover how Section 891 operates, potential implications for non-US citizens, and its interaction with treaties. The episode then turns to proposed Section 899 and a new House proposal aimed at modifying the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). Tom and Doug examine how these retaliatory measures differ, overlap, and might evolve. They close with practical advice for multinational taxpayers navigating an uncertain legislative environment and the future of Pillar Two negotiations.

Lift Up Your Voices … to Declare My Gospel”Doctrine and Covenants 30–36You're listening to Come Follow Me Kids! A Come Follow Me Podcast. We are an interactive game play podcast for kids. This is a Doctrine and Covenants Podcast for Kids! Our podcast is called Come Follow Me Kids. Come Follow Me for kids that are primary aged 2-12 in the Church or Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We follow the come follow me manual from the church but are not officially affiliated in any way. Some audio segments come from the friend magazine and other church sources. On this podcast we play interactive games while learning about the gospel and atonement of Jesus Christ. If your children would like to be guests on this podcast, please email us at comefollowmekidspodcast@gmail.com They can share their testimony about the restoration of the gospel, or share an experience they had with prayer, the Holy Ghost, or Missionary Work. Make sure they include their name and where they are from in the audio recording. And don't worry about your recording being perfect, we can edit out mistakes. Any sound file should work. If your children would like a baptism shout out, email us their name, and where they are from and we will add them to an upcoming episode. Use the same email listed above. Welcome to the Come Follow Me Kids Podcast! This is a scripture study podcast for children. Specifically; this is a Come Follow Me for Kids - focused on helping your kids learn the gospel! We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we create this podcast for primary aged children (ages 2-12) following along with the church's Come Follow Me Manual. We are a game play podcast and engage and entertain children through fun interactive games and stories. This year we are a Book of Mormon Come Follow Me Study podcast for children. We hope you enjoy listening! If your children would like to be guests on our podcast email us at comefollowmekidspodcast@gmail.com and we will send you an assignment for a future week.

We are not officially affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and refer you to their website for any questions regarding doctrine or gospel information. This week we learn: These sections are full of mission calls and instructions from the Lord! Sections 30–36 focus on urging individuals to step up and share the gospel with enthusiasm and faith. This week we learn about preparing for the spiritual harvest and working together to bring others to Christ. It's a reminder that sharing the gospel brings joy, blessings, and the opportunity to make a real difference.I am called to be a witness of Jesus Christ.Whether or not you have a formal calling as a missionary, you can be a witness of Jesus Christ “at all times, and in all things, and in all places”If I build my life on the Savior's gospel, I will not fall.I should focus more on the things of God than the things of the earth.Parley P. Pratt had been a member of the Church for about a month when he was called “into the wilderness” to preach the gospel (⁠Doctrine and Covenants 32:2⁠). Thomas B. Marsh had been a member for even less time than that when he was told, “The hour of your mission is come” Orson Pratt, Edward Partridge, and many others had likewise barely been baptized when their mission calls came. Perhaps there's a lesson in this pattern for us today: if you know enough to accept the restored gospel by baptism, you know enough to share it with others.Fun podcast for kidsFun Book of Mormon podcast for kids Game podcast

1) Challenging Traditional Interpretations: The video directly addresses the common theological arguments that Jesus's ability to forgive sins and raise the dead proves his divinity. It presents counterarguments, suggesting that these actions do not necessarily equate to Godhood, as similar actions are attributed to other figures in both the Old and New Testaments. 2) Forgiveness of Sins: The presenter analyzes biblical passages where Jesus forgives sins, and then compares those passages to Old testament passages where priests atone for sins. It explores the concept of authority granted by God, arguing that Jesus's ability to forgive sins was given to him, and then that Jesus gave that authority to the apostles. The video then dives into the concept of Divine Sophia, and how Sophia is described as saving people from sin in the book of wisdom. 3) Resurrection and Divine Power: The video examines instances where Jesus raises people from the dead, such as the raising of the young man in Nain and Lazarus. It draws parallels with Old Testament figures like Elijah and Elisha, who also performed resurrections. The video also discusses the apostles Peter and Paul, who also raised people from the dead. The presenter argues that if raising the dead is proof of Godhood, then these other biblical figures would also have to be considered divine. 4) Divine Sophia and Jesus's Attributes: The video connects Jesus's attributes, such as being "the way, the truth, and the life" and "the light of the world," to the concept of Divine Sophia. It cites passages from wisdom literature that describe Sophia as the source of life, light, and immortality. The presenter makes the argument that the listeners of Jesus's time, would have related his descriptions of himself, to the previously established descriptions of Sophia. 5) Spiritual Interpretation of Biblical Events: The video offers a spiritual interpretation of events like the Israelites' passage through the Red Sea, viewing them as symbolic rather than purely literal. The presenter discusses the passage in 1 Corinthians where it states that the rock that followed the Israelites was Christ. 6) The Role of Intercessors: The video discusses the role of intercessors, such as priests and apostles, in mediating between God and humanity. It argues that these figures act with authority granted by God, rather than possessing inherent divinity.Sections: 1:14 Forgiving Sins - Salvation12:28 “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life”18:03 Jesus and the Holy Spirit21:28 Resurrecting Others and God-Evidence32:05 General Concepts41:33 The Feast and the Peculiar Food56:37 Eternal and Yet Created1:01:44 SummaryDownload MP3 and PDF: https://tinyurl.com/5bks9hn3 Links: Podcast (apple): https://goo.gl/CM4TmV Podcast (android): https://goo.gl/ovLmps Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bridgingbeliefs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BridgingBeliefs9 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgingbeliefs9/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BridgingBeliefs The Official Bahá'í site: http://www.bahai.org/ No videos on this channel are monetized nor are for commercial purposes.Support the show

Today, I am blessed to have Josh Dech here with me. He has a deep understanding of the gut-brain connection. He is an ex-paramedic, and Holistic Nutritionist, specializing in gut health. It was the successes his clients have had with complex digestive diseases, previously thought to be impossible, that got him connected to some of the world's most renowned doctors. Since then, he's been recruited to the Priority Health Academy as a medical lecturer, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and complex digestive issues. Gut health is known to be connected to mental health, emotions, sleep, productivity, concentration, hormones, inflammation, sickness, detoxification, cravings, relationships and more. An unhealthy gut can severely impact our lives. In this episode, Josh dives into various aspects of gut health, emphasizing its ancestral connection and modern threats. He discusses how our gut microbiome, inherited from birth and influenced by environmental factors, faces challenges from the standard American diet and agricultural practices. Josh warns against the consequences of disrupting the microbiome, linking it to the rise of modern diseases.   Plus, we touch on plant-based medicine, and Josh advocates for its potential benefits over pharmaceuticals. He underscores the influence of financial interests on healthcare choices. Finally, Josh sheds light on the critical role of stomach acid in digestion and health, dispelling common misconceptions about acid reflux and advocating for a holistic approach to digestive issues. Throughout this episode, Josh emphasizes identifying and addressing root causes rather than treating symptoms. 

In this episode, I'm going over the role doulas play in supporting clients through both planned and unplanned c-sections.Many people believe that once a c-section is decided on (whether planned or unplanned), a doula is no longer needed. That is absolutely untrue. Doula support is extremely beneficial in all birth scenarios.Text Hannah!

Sections 20-22 of the Doctrine and Covenants mark a pivotal moment in Latter-day Saint history—the formal organisation of the Church of Christ on April 6, 1830. Section 20 is often called the "Articles and Covenants" of the Church, functioning as its first official constitution. It outlines the core beliefs, priesthood duties, and key ordinances such as baptism and the sacrament. This revelation solidified the Church's early structure and governance. Section 21 was received on the day of the Church's organization, commanding members to keep a record and recognize Joseph Smith as a prophet, seer, and revelator. It highlights the necessity of revelation in guiding the Church. Section 22 reinforces the importance of baptism by proper authority, rejecting previous baptisms performed outside the restored priesthood. These revelations were crucial in establishing the foundational principles of the Restoration. They provided early converts with direction and legitimacy at a time when the Church was just beginning to take shape. Understanding these sections helps us see how the Restoration was not just a spiritual movement but an organized effort with clear doctrine and structure.

They investigate the use of the Book of Mormon in creating a first draft of the section, and then how the Lord changed what was being created and revealed to them what they needed, and the relationship between the draft Oliver Cowdery had made and the revelation Joseph received. They look at the use of Section 20 in the original Pearl of Great Price. They explore the importance of this section in our ability to have the Church function. They also look at the relationship between Section 21 and Section 20. They also talk about God's instructions to keep records in the Church and the impact that has had on us. They also look at God's description of Joseph Smith's roles, including his being a translator, and the way Joseph receives the word of God as if from His own mouth.We are grateful for our Executive Producer, B. Fisher, and for our generous donors, and for Launchpad Consulting Studios who produce the podcast, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.

Sections of the UK radical-liberal Left are doing somewhat of a u-turn on woke identity politics. Why now? We discuss the total unwillingness of the Left to acknowledge feminist arguments, woke scolds unwavering loyalty to pretending men are women, and the continued ham-fisted burial of the UK Left by their own hand (with some GC exceptions). We ask how anyone interested in politics could have been willing to promote mind-numbing woke discourse for so long? Why did it take such a scale of defeat to realise transgenderism was not going to be a winning ticket to unite the working-class? Especially after so many gender critical leftists warned them for years? What will happen to the radlib Left when Reform win the General Election in 2029? Plus, Novara Media's opposition to the Cass Review, Channel 4's buried BLM footage, Bernie Sanders' former anti-mass immigration stance, the Left's problem with presuming themselves superior, sunk cost fallacies, and The Democratic Party in disarray. 

John Harvey reads the next chapter of his book, Contending Perspectives. Here's the original video from where this audio came. Here's a list of links to John reading every chapter (released so far) in his 2021 book Contending Perspectives. I have edited both the video and audio to eliminate mistakes, coughs, interruptions, and etc. Sections in this chapter These timestamps are exact for the audio. For the video, you'll need to add around seven seconds in order to get to the precise spot. (This is because of the opening credits, which are over around seven seconds of silence.) Note: At around 10:40, there is a weird cut in the audio when John says "...part of being human -- ceremonial values." This is an error in the original raw audio, not in the editing. It's unfixable. 9:15 - Section: The Institutionalist approach 18:03 - Section: Application 21:30 - Section: Method 24:21 - Section: Views of human nature and justice 25:23 - Section: Standards of behavior, primary and secondary 27:55 - Section: Contemporary activities 28:50 - Section: Criticisms 29:52 - Section: Final rejoinder 31:43 - Section: Further reading

 Richard Powers's PLAYGROUND is a 2025 Audie Award Finalist for Audiobook of the Year. We're revisiting host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff's discussion of how the six narrators' words flow forth, immersing the listener in four central characters and the minute details that comprise their respective worlds. Sections lack titles or labels, so the distinct voice of each narrator is key to distinguishing which story is which. The performances of narrators Edoardo Ballerini, Robin Siegerman, Eunice Wong, Pun Bandhu, Krys Janae, and Kevin R.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 28th of February and here are this week's headlines.First, in news from the capital, the Delhi Government suffered a loss of Rs 2,002 crore due to the flawed excise policy for 2021-22, which was later scrapped. The policy aimed to eliminate monopolies, ensure fair liquor distribution, and prevent bootlegging. However, it was withdrawn after corruption allegations led to the arrests of key AAP leaders, including former CM Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, by the CBI and ED. The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) highlighted these losses in a recent Assembly report.In another news making headline, India abstained from voting on two resolutions at the UN General Assembly, marking the third anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The resolutions were supported by the US, Ukraine, and Europe, and both passed with 93 votes in favor. While India did not support the resolution demanding Russian withdrawal, it did not oppose the motion on Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. India was one of 65 countries that chose not to vote on the European-backed resolution.Meanwhile, the central government opposed petitions seeking a lifetime ban on convicted politicians from contesting elections, arguing in the Supreme Court that a six-year disqualification is not unconstitutional. In its affidavit, the Centre stated that various penal laws impose penalties for a limited time to ensure deterrence while avoiding excessive harshness. The submission was in response to Advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay's plea challenging the constitutional validity of Sections 8 and 9 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Section 8 mandates a six-year disqualification post-release for those convicted of specified offences.In news from the North, the Uttarakhand High Court reviewed provisions of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) amid a public interest litigation. The court questioned the state's ability to make changes to the UCC, particularly regarding mandatory live-in registrations. Senior advocate Vrinda Grover argued that the UCC imposes unnecessary surveillance, as information about individuals is sent directly to local police stations. The court also questioned whether the UCC grants police powers for domiciliary visits, which it found to be a potential violation of rights.In global headlines this week, US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on European Union imports, particularly targeting cars. Trump criticized the EU, claiming it was "formed to screw the United States." He pointed out the EU's higher tariffs and value-added taxes, which are significantly steeper than those in the US. The announcement comes amid ongoing trade tensions between the US and the EU, with officials raising concerns over European taxation policies.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express

She discusses the different sections and highlights the "Impression" section - the sum of all the important findings. Marianne talks about how radiologists document abnormal but not concerning biology; some are things just to keep an eye on.  She also shared how often things unrelated to the reason for the scan are serendipitously found and treated, like her personal example of a kidney cancer.Charlie helped highlight how useful it is to download a copy of your reports to share between locations and to facilitate your care. We hope this helps the report feel less threatening and more a tool for you to be involved in your own treatment.Support the showGet show notes and resources at our website: every1dies.org.

Section 8 mandates a six-year disqualification post-release for those convicted of specified offences.In other news, with 12 state presidents appointed, the BJP seems to be on course to choose its new national chief, albeit with a delay. The BJP leaders The Indian Express spoke to across states attributed the delay largely to the recently concluded Delhi polls. A BJP leader from Madhya Pradesh said the party focused all its energies on Delhi. Meanwhile, another leader said, quote “One leader who has managed up to six-seven Assembly seats in our state and in Uttar Pradesh, was given the charge of only one Assembly seat in Delhi. In another constituency, two MPs managed it. The focus of the party on Delhi was unprecedented and that has led to a delay in the organisational elections,” unquote.Meanwhile, in another headline making news, a communal clash broke out over the installation of speakers in Dumraon village in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh district this morning. The clash occurred during Shivratri celebrations. According to Ichak Block Development Officer (BDO) Santosh Kumar, a disagreement over installing loudspeakers by the road escalated into stone-pelting and arson. Authorities said there were no injuries or deaths. Hazaribagh Additional Superintendent of Police Amit Kumar told The Indian Express, that an FIR has been registered,adding that three motorcycles and a car were set ablaze.In news from Maharahstra, a man allegedly raped a 26-year-old woman inside a MSRTC bus on the premises of a bus stand in Pune in the early hours of Tuesday. The police identified the accused as a history-sheeter and launched an extensive search for him.The police said the crime occurred around 5.30 am when the woman was at the bus stand to board a bus for her hometown in the Satara district of Maharashtra. The accused, loitering on the premises of the bus stand, allegedly approached her and misled her to another bus, saying that it was the one for her destination. The woman believed the accused and boarded the bus, said the police. The accused allegedly followed her and raped her inside the bus before fleeing from the scene.On the global front, President Donald Trump announced a new immigration initiative aimed at wealthy foreign investors, a “gold card” that offers a path to US citizenship for a fee of $5 million. Replacing the current EB-5 visa program, this scheme will grant investors the privileges of a green card, allowing them to become permanent US residents through financial investment. The existing EB-5 visa program, established in 1990, allows foreign investors to gain US residency if they create or preserve jobs through capital investments. Minimum investments are set at $1.5 million, or $800 thosand for economically distressed areas.
