Why does data always feel like the thing we don't have time for in math?Teachers and leaders say they want students who can think critically, reason mathematically, and engage with real-world problems. But when time gets tight, data is often the first strand to go—seen as extra, wishy-washy, or disconnected from “real math.” In this episode, Jon Orr and Yvette Lehman challenge that thinking and argue that data isn't competing with number sense—it's one of the most powerful ways to build it.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why data is often perceived as less rigorous or less important in mathHow data naturally supports number sense, proportional reasoning, and multiplicative thinkingWhy real-world data creates more authentic math experiences than contrived word problemsHow data supports critical thinking, discourse, and visual reasoningWhy interpretive math isn't “soft”—it's essentialPractical ways to integrate data without derailing pacingResources teachers can use right away to bring meaningful data into instructionIf you've ever felt like you have to choose between number sense and data, this episode will help you rethink that tradeoff—and give you concrete ways to make data a meaningful part of math learning.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

A survey from the Philadelphia Business Journal highlights a burnout concern by Millennials and Gen Z workers who continue to fear taking time off and push themselves toward professional burnout. Gene says it is indicative for owners to support employees for the good of the company and individual.

What happens when an engineer, executive leader, and yoga instructor come together in one person?Transformation.In this powerful episode, Nicole Greer sits down with seasoned operations leader and business coach Luca Romano to explore what it truly means to build a vibrant culture — especially in high-pressure manufacturing environments. After experiencing burnout and a life-changing spinal cord injury, Luca redefined leadership for himself. Blending his engineering mindset with mindfulness and emotional intelligence, he now leads with clarity, courage, and purpose.Vibrant Highlights:00:02:33 — Vibrant culture is positive energy directed toward progress. Energy spent on fear, politics, or self-protection drains results. Culture puts people at the center and aligns behavior around shared values.00:14:00 — Courage is required to move beyond people-pleasing. It is better to fail on your own conviction than succeed while betraying your values. Fear-based leadership wastes energy and undermines performance.00:22:00 — Culture drives measurable business results. After implementing shared core values, structured communication, and EOS, on-time delivery improved from 51% to 91%.00:24:20 — Training is an investment, not a cost. Skipping development to “save time” only postpones problems. Investing in people strengthens retention and long-term performance.00:35:30 — Coaching in and coaching out requires clarity. When behavioral expectations are clearly defined, difficult conversations become structured and productive — sometimes separation becomes a gift.Connect with Luca:Website: manufacturing-coach.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luca-romano-mba-041b531/FB: https://www.facebook.com/luca.romano.505512IG: https://www.instagram.com/floaterone74/#Ready to build a culture where people feel valued, energized, and committed?Bring Nicole Greer, The Vibrant Coach, to your leadership team, organization, or conference to ignite clarity, accountability, energy, and results.Visit: vibrantculture.comEmail: nicole@vibrantculture.comWatch Nicole's TEDx Talk: vibrantculture.com/videos

Welcome to Generation! ⛪︎

Chloe McClough is a self‑proclaimed documentary obsessive whose early fascination with celebrity and storytelling has paved the way for a sharp, instinctive career in media.Skipping university and going straight into the workforce, she quickly learned the real power skills: how to communicate, read a room, navigate nuanced conversations, and carry herself in a way that meant she was always asked back for the next project.Chloe got an early taste of high‑stakes media, travelling globally with senior executives from brands like Estée Lauder and Rimmel, experiencing first‑hand how influence, content, and brand moments are made. But underneath it all, she knew she was meant for something bigger. She was obsessed with video, with capturing real moments, and she could see clearly how brands were missing a massive trick.That instinct led her to JD Sports, where she didn't just do the job – she rewired it. After spotting major inefficiencies, she pitched a new approach that helped unlock mega growth in just 12 months. Chloe moved fast, cut the fluff, ditched the acronyms, and spoke to stakeholders in simple, human language. I index heavily toward people who just get s**t done– and Chloe is absolutely one of those people.Now, with her own agency taking shape, she's already working with celebrity clients and building a playbook for how brands should really be using video. In this episode, Chloe breaks down what actually works, how to move quickly without losing quality, and why the next wave of media belongs to people who are brave enough to keep it real.

What if the reason your easy runs feel hard is because you're doing too much, too soon?Marathon training can feel overwhelming when every run type seems important and everything feels hard at once. In this episode, I break down the simple structure behind effective marathon training and explain why most runners struggle not because they lack effort, but because they train in the wrong order. I walk through the three run types that quietly build most of your fitness, why they matter more than speed work early on, and how following the right sequence helps you stay healthy, consistent, and confident all the way to race day.Key TakeawaysMarathon training works best when it follows a clear order, starting with easy runs, long runs, and threshold work before adding speed. Skipping this order is one of the fastest ways to get injured or burned out.Easy runs and long runs are not filler workouts. They build the aerobic base that lets your body recover, adapt, and handle harder training later.Speed work only helps once your foundation is solid. Without a base, harder workouts create damage faster than your body can rebuild.Timestamps[00:34] What You'll Learn[01:47] The Problem[04:10] Use This To Crush Your Next Marathon[05:17] The Solution: How To Sequence The 16 Weeks[07:35] Run Type #1: The Easy Run[09:41] Run Type #2: The Long Run[14:05] Run Type #3: The Threshold Run[18:27] Find Out What Level Marathoner You AreLinks & Learnings

PSALM 44 For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. 1 We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago. 2 With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish. 3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. 4 You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. 5 Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. 6 I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; 7 but you give us victory over our enemies, you put put our adversaries to shame. 8 In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. 9 But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with your armies. 10 You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us. 11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations. 12 You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale. 13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us. 14 You made us a byword among the nations ; the peoples shake their heads at us. 15 My disgrace is before me all day long, and my face is covered with shame 16 at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge. 17 All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant, 18 Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path. 19 But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness. 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, 21 would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart? 22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. 23 Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever. 24 Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression? 25 We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. 26 Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love. NIV 84 LESSON NOTES Praise Is a Process Psalm 44:1–8 reminds us that praise is the fruit of a process. We remember God in the past, trust Him in the present, and praise Him in the future. Skipping remembering and trusting leads to just singing rather than genuine praise. Inherited Belief Must Become Personal Allegiance “Their faith” must become “my faith.” The psalmist moves from “our fathers told us” (v.1) to “You are my King and my God” (v.4). Spiritual maturity happens when we add our signature to the story — when God becomes personally trusted in the present. When Theology Doesn't Seem to Work The turning point — “But now” (v.9) — captures the tension of undeserved suffering. The people are experiencing the curses of disobedience while claiming covenant faithfulness. Psalm 44 gives language to that painful question: What do we do when our experience contradicts our expectations and explanations? God Invites Honest Protest Verses 9–21 model bold, uncensored prayer. He protests. He wrestles. He brings confusion to God rather than away from Him. Faith is not pretending everything is fine — it is bringing everything honestly before the Lord. Hesed Has the Final Word The psalm ends with one emphatic word: hesed — unfailing, covenant love. Paul quotes Psalm 44:22 in Romans 8 to show that even unexplained suffering cannot separate us from Christ's love. When answers fail, God's steadfast love remains. His hesed is the trump card. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What are specific ways you intentionally “remember” what God has done? How does remembering strengthen your faith during difficult seasons? 2. When did your faith move from “theirs” (family, church, tradition) to “mine”?  What helps you continue making that transition daily? 3. Have you experienced a “But now” season — where your experience seemed to contradict your expectations and explanations? How did you respond? 4. Why do you think many Christians struggle to bring protests to God? What would it look like this week to pray with more honesty? 5. When answers are unclear, what does it practically mean to “cling to His unfailing love”? How does Romans 8:35–39 strengthen your confidence during hardship?

Your body doesn't treat breakfast and dinner the same way, and once you understand why, meal timing becomes a powerful lever for better health. We dig into chrononutrition, the science of how circadian rhythms shape appetite, insulin sensitivity, and energy metabolism, and we translate it into simple steps that fit real life.We start by mapping the daily hormone dance: morning light sparks a cortisol rise that mobilizes energy, adenosine builds sleep pressure through the day, and melatonin ushers in nighttime repair. Those rhythms change how your body handles the same plate of food across the clock. Insulin sensitivity is highest earlier, glucose tolerance declines later, and fat oxidation slows in the evening. That shift helps explain why late-night eating links to insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular risk, even when total calories don't change.From there, we reframe fasting. Skipping breakfast often reduces calories but can backfire metabolically, with worse insulin sensitivity and blood pressure. Early time-restricted eating tells a different story: front-load calories, move dinner earlier, and minimize late-night intake. Studies show improved insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and cardiometabolic markers when the eating window aligns with the body clock. A calorie at 8 a.m. meets a system primed to use energy; the same calorie at 10 p.m. meets a system preparing for sleep.You'll leave with clear, practical tools: anchor breakfast and lunch, keep dinner earlier and lighter, aim for consistent meal timing, get bright light soon after waking, dim light at night, and treat late snacking as a stressor. Whether your goal is better glucose control, sustainable weight management, or heart health, aligning meals with your circadian rhythm can amplify results without adding restriction.If this helped reframe how you think about food timing, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves nutrition science, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules

February is Eating Disorder Awareness Month. And if you're stuck in quasi-recovery, telling yourself "I'm fine," avoiding help because you're ashamed—this is your wake-up call. I'm sharing 2026 statistics you haven't heard, alarming trends getting WORSE, and the truth about Ozempic, social media, and eating disorders. Because sis, you are not a statistic. At least not a negative one. But you need to hear this.

Let's dive into what the research says about inflammation and IBD.Takeaways-Inflammation is often misunderstood and misused in discussions.Context is crucial when discussing health and nutrition.Skipping meals can lead to malnourishment, impacting health.Intermittent fasting may not have the benefits often claimed.Not all processed foods are harmful; some can be beneficial.All foods undergo some level of processing.It's important to focus on whole foods for better health.Two truths can coexist in health discussions.The basics of nutrition must be prioritized before advanced strategies.Understanding individual health needs is essential for effective dietary choices.Chapters-00:00- Understanding Inflammation: A Modern Dilemma11:13- Intermittent Fasting: Myths and Realities13:57- Processed Foods: The Nuanced Conversation17:53- Conclusion: Key Takeaways and ResourcesFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

Monique Rodriguez, Founder & CEO of Mielle Organics, shares how a hobby in her kitchen became a global haircare brand and the highest exit of any Black woman in history. After the devastating loss of her son, Monique turned to social media and haircare as an outlet for grief. What began as sharing homemade recipes online evolved into a business built on real connection that took over the natural hair space. Within months of launching, she left her nursing career. Within five years, she faced a $2M financial hole that nearly cost her everything. In this conversation, Monique opens up about betting on herself before she felt ready, building without mentors, mismanaging early capital, walking away from a 40% investment deal, and ultimately securing the right partner. Her story is a grounded look at what it really takes to scale through pain, risk, faith, and battle-tested business lessons.   Key Takeaways and Topics Turning personal grief into creative purpose Building community before building product Leaving nursing to go all in on a kitchen hobby $300K in year one with no business background Skipping the playbook and trusting her gut Bootstrapping for six years before raising capital The $2M accounting mistake that almost ended everything Walking away from a 40% equity deal Finding the right investor (and why it's like dating) The P&G acquisition and the backlash that followed Why she reframes "selling out" as building Black wealth   Links The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

Where do you start with intermittent fasting? Most people know the term intermittent fasting, but very few know where it actually came from—or how it was meant to be used. In this video, Professor Spira explains the true origin of intermittent fasting and why it was never designed as a random trend or a quick reset. You'll learn how Professor Arnold Ehret introduced intermittent fasting as part of a complete healing system, not as a stand-alone trick. When fasting is practiced the right way, it supports vitality, clarity, and long-term health instead of stress and confusion. In this video, you'll discover: Who really created intermittent fasting Why fasting works best inside a system Why random fasting often fails How simple habits support vitality Where beginners should actually start This is not about extreme fasts, calorie counting, or complicated rules. It's about understanding the principles, taking simple action, and using fasting the way it was originally intended.

Leadership, Wealth, and the Price of Skipping Process by Olajumoke Adenowo

Many couples going through divorce say the same thing: “We're amicable. We just want to get this done.” In this episode of Divorce Explored, a series within the We Chat Divorce podcast, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan unpack what amicable actually means—and why emotional calm is not the same as financial clarity. With California introducing a new joint divorce petition option in 2026, couples may be able to start the divorce process together with less initial friction. But as Karen and Catherine explain, this procedural change does not reduce the financial work required to reach a fair, sustainable settlement. This conversation breaks down the real differences between contested vs. uncontested divorce, the hidden costs of rushing to agreement, and the financial red flags that quietly turn “easy divorces” into expensive ones. If you're considering an uncontested or joint filing—and want to stay amicable without sacrificing your financial future—this episode is essential listening. The difference between being emotionally amicable and financially transparent Why agreeing quickly can be more expensive than slowing down What California's 2026 joint petition option actually changes—and what it doesn't Common financial “agreement killers” in uncontested divorces Why keeping the house without a budget often backfires How missing documents, unclear income, or mixed business expenses derail settlements Why financial clarity can prevent conflict—not create it What it truly means to compare assets fairly (cash vs. retirement vs. property) Clarity is not conflict. Asking questions does not make a divorce adversarial—it makes it informed. Uncontested divorce still requires full financial discovery. Skipping this step creates costly mistakes. Joint petitions may lower emotional tension, but they don't reduce financial responsibility. Rushing creates regret. Many uncontested divorces become contested after new information emerges. If you can't explain your agreement in plain English, you're not ready to sign it. You may need more structure and support if: You can't access financial statements Income is variable, unclear, or disputed Business and personal spending are mixed New debt or unexplained transfers appear One spouse is afraid to ask financial questions The plan relies on “it will all work out” At My Divorce Solution, we help individuals and couples get financially organized before legal negotiations begin—so decisions are based on verified data, realistic budgets, and long-term stability.

When life feels overwhelming, most of us go into survival mode. We focus on getting through the day. We try to rest when we can. We tell ourselves we'll take better care of ourselves later. But what if something essential quietly disappears during hard times — without us realizing it? In this fourth episode of the When the World Feels Like Too Much series, we explore a layer of care that many ADHD women lose first when stress is high… and why its absence can leave you feeling disconnected, depleted, and numb — even when you're “doing all the right things.” This conversation isn't about fixing yourself, optimizing self-care, or adding more to your plate. It's about remembering what sustains you when the world feels heavy — and why small moments matter more than you think.

Universal Salvation, part 4 Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. I'm going to do my best to wrap up this review of David Bentley Hart's book, That All Shall Be Saved, Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation. And I hope you understand, particularly those of you who are Christians that are listening to this, that I do all of this in the name of the Father. It's not to tear down Christianity. It's to uphold the mission of the Messiah, which has been lost over the past several hundred years of Christianity. And so this talk of universal salvation is a necessary component of believing in the glory of God. Because universal salvation of all souls, not only all humans, but the dogs, the cats, the birds, the grasses, all living things, have to return to the Father, or else the Anointed loses power. The Father loses parts of himself. Okay, let's get back to David Bentley Hart. So we're going to run through these four meditations that are the body of his book. The first meditation is, Who is God? He says, The New Testament, to a great degree, consists in the eschatological interpretation of Hebrew Scripture's story of creation, finding in Christ as eternal Logos and risen Lord, the unifying term of beginning and end. There's no more magnificent meditation on this vision than Gregory of Nyssa's description of the progress of all persons towards union with God in the one pleroma, the one fullness of the whole Christ. All spiritual wills moving, to use this loving image, from outside the temple walls to the temple precincts, and finally beyond the ages into the very sanctuary of the glory as one. Okay, let me jump in here to say, do you notice that the New Testament words, when you use the correct translations, are the same as the translations in our Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi? Logos is the eternal spirit of humanity and the risen Lord. The Fullness is the one pleroma, the whole Christ. And in this statement, it's saying that all that is spiritual, which includes the spirits that reside within each of us, will all move as one into the pleroma of the Christ. That's who Christ is to us. He's the head of our pleroma. And when I speak of pleromas, I always picture that pyramidal shape, that hierarchical shape, and the capstone is the head. We 2nd order powers are children of the 1st order powers. The 3rd order powers are the Army of Christ that have come to redeem us. When Paul spoke of this, he was applying it literally to the temple in Jerusalem, where there were the walls of the temple, and most of the people were outside of the walls, and some of the people were in the temple precincts. And finally, the very sanctuary of the glory, where only the priests were allowed. These are the three parts that were mentioned, and these are archetypal of the movement of humanity, Hart is saying, from the outside of the pleroma of the Christ, into the pleroma of the Christ, and then into the very glory of God through the Christ. On page 90, Hart says, If one truly believes that traditional Christian language about God's goodness and the theological grammar to which it belongs are not empty, then the God of eternal retribution and pure sovereignty proclaimed by so much of Christian tradition is not and cannot possibly be the God of self-outpouring love revealed in Christ. If God is the good creator of all, he must also be the savior of all without fail, who brings to himself all he has made, including all rational wills, and only thus returns to himself in all that goes forth from him. And that's the end of the chapter, Who is God? And that pretty much states my basic belief on why everyone is going to heaven, because we all come from the Father, and therefore we all must return to the Father because the Father cannot be diminished in any way. And if he lost us, he'd be diminished. Do you see? The second meditation is, What is Judgment? And the subtitle is A Reflection on Biblical Eschatology. And eschatology, that's one of those big theological words that just means the end times, the end of time. On page 93, Hart says, There's a general sense among most Christians that the notion of an eternal hell is explicitly and unremittingly advanced in the New Testament. And yet, when we go looking for it in the actual pages of the text, it proves remarkably elusive. The whole idea is, for instance, entirely absent from the Pauline corpus as even the thinnest shadow of a hint, nor is it anywhere patently present in any of the other epistolary texts. There is one verse in the Gospels, Matthew 25-46 that, traditionally understood, offers what seems the strongest evidence for the idea, but then now Hart's going to explain how that can't be true. And then he says there are also perhaps a couple of verses from Revelation, and he says nothing's clear in Revelation, so he's not going to go there. But, What in fact the New Testament provides us with are a number of fragmentary and fantastic images that can be taken in any number of ways, arranged according to our prejudices and expectations, and declared literal or figural or hyperbolic as our desires dictate. It's why people can make the case for eternal damnation, but you can also make the case for not eternal damnation, because it's so metaphorical. On page 94, Hart says, Nowhere is there any description of a kingdom of perpetual cruelty presided over by Satan, as though he were some kind of Chthonian god. On the other hand, however, there are a remarkable number of passages in the New Testament, several of them from Paul's writings, that appear instead to promise a final salvation of all persons and all things, and in the most unqualified terms. How did some images become mere images in the general Christian imagination, while others became exact documentary portraits of some final reality? If one can be swayed simply by the brute force of arithmetic, it seems worth noting that, among the apparently most explicit statements on the last things, the universalist statements are by far the more numerous. And then he lists a number of verses from the New Testament that speak of universal salvation, over 20 of them at least, and I'll give you just a couple. Romans 5.18 says, So then, just as through one transgression came condemnation for all human beings, so also through one act of righteousness came a rectification of life for all human beings. And jumping in from the Gnostic sense, he doesn't say the fall of one human, he doesn't say through Adam, he says one transgression—and we would call that one transgression the Fall of Logos, the fall of the Aeon, which is a higher order being than we are. Or Corinthians 15.22 says, For just as in Adam all die, so also in the anointed Christ all will be given life. I would say where it says for just as in Adam all die, it's not because Adam ate the apple, it's that we humans who are outside of the Christ, we're outside of the walls of the temple, we are in the pleroma of Adam—we are in the pleroma of human beings. When you accept the anointed, then you move into the pleroma, or you nest up higher into the pleroma of the Christ. That would be the Gnostic way of saying that. Second Corinthians 5.14 says, For the love of the anointed constrains us, having reached this judgment, that one died on behalf of all, all then have died. And of course that one is the Anointed, and He died on behalf of everyone. Or even Romans 11:32, For God shut up everyone in obstinacy, so that he might show mercy to everyone. And there's a long discussion in the chapter about how God's chosen—the original elect, that being the Hebrew nation—has been obstinate about accepting Jesus of Nazareth as the Anointed. And so he's saying that everyone is shut up in obstinacy, that's the Hebrews, so that he might show mercy to everyone. And that is, they're temporarily set up in obstinacy so that the message of the Anointed can be preached far and wide, before death and after death, we Gnostics would say, and not be just constrained to only the Hebrews. That's why the Hebrews are set aside for the moment, so that those outside the temple walls can also come to Christ. And then there are 19 more verses after this, and he lists them all between pages 96 and page 102. And if you are a theological scholar or a concerned Christian that wants to know if this is heresy or not, I really suggest you buy the book, That All Shall Be Saved, by David Bentley Hart, and read it carefully from cover to cover. Jumping to page 116, Hart says, There are those metaphors used by Jesus that seem to imply that the punishment of the world to come will be of only limited duration. For example, “if remanded to prison, you shall most certainly not emerge until you pay the very last pittance.” Or, “the unmerciful slave is delivered to the torturers until he should repay everything he owes.” And Hart says it seems as if this until should be taken with some seriousness. Some wicked slaves, moreover, “will be beaten with many blows, while others will be beaten with few blows.” Hart says, of course, everyone will be “salted with fire.” This fire is explicitly that of the Gehenna. But salting here is an image of purification and preservation, for salt is good. Gehenna is the Valley of Hinnom from the Old Testament, and that is where, outside of the city of Jerusalem, the refuse was burned, and even carrion and bodies were burned. And that is why it is considered to be a hellish place. And it has become a metaphor in the time of Jesus for the purging fire, the Aeonian chastening for the good. Hart says we might even find some support for the purgatorial view of the Gehenna from the Greek of Matthew 25:46, which is the supposedly conclusive verse on the side of the Infernalist Orthodoxy, where the word used for the punishment of the last day is kolasis, which most properly refers to remedial chastisement, rather than timoria, which more properly refers to retributive justice. So, the fire of the judgment. What is judgment? The fire is the chastening fire, the fire of personal guilt and remorse over the sins one has done, that causes one to repent and turn to redemption. Hart says, It is not clear in any event that the fourth gospel, [and the fourth gospel, that's the gospel of John, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John], it is not clear in any event that the fourth gospel foretells any “last judgment,” in the sense of a real additional judgment that accomplishes more than has already happened in Christ. To see His words as pointing toward and fulfilled within his own crucifixion and resurrection, wherein all things were judged and all things redeemed. The kingdom has indeed drawn very near, and even now is being revealed. The hour indeed has come. The judge who is judged in our place is also the resurrection and the life that has always already succeeded and exceeded the time of condemnation. All of heaven and of hell meet in those three days. . . Hell appears in the shadow of the cross as what has always already been conquered, as what Easter leaves in ruins, to which we may flee from the transfiguring light of God if we so wish, but where we can never finally come to rest, for being only a shadow, it provides nothing to cling to. And he attributes that concept of hell being only a shadow to Gregory of Nyssa, although we would attribute it to the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi which came before Gregory of Nyssa. Hell exists so long as it exists only as the last terrible residue of a fallen creation's enmity to God, the lingering effects of a condition of slavery that God has conquered universally in Christ and will ultimately conquer individually in every soul. This age has passed away already, however long it lingers on its own aftermath, and thus in the Age to Come, [and that's capital A, Age, which we would interpret as the Aeons to Come, the Aeonian Pleroma to Come], and beyond all ages, all shall come to the kingdom prepared for them from before the foundation of the world. And that's the chapter, What is Judgment? The third meditation or chapter of Hart is called What is a Person? A Reflection on the Divine Image. It says over and over in the Bible that we are made in the image of God. Man is made in the image of God. That is the divine image. On page 131, Hart says, Christians down the centuries have excelled at converting the good tidings of God's love in Christ into something dreadful, irrational, and morally horrid. [And we covered that in depth in the previous three episodes, if you want to go back there.] On page 132, Hart says, I suspect that no figure in Christian history has suffered a greater injustice as a result of the desperate inventiveness of the Christian moral imagination than the Apostle Paul, since it was the violent misprision of his theology of grace, starting with the great Augustine, it grieves me to say, that gave rise to almost all of these grim distortions of the Gospel. Aboriginal guilt, predestination, (ante praevisa merita), the eternal damnation of unbaptized infants, the real existence of vessels of wrath, and so on. All of these odious and incoherent dogmatic motifs, so to speak, and others equally nasty, have been ascribed to Paul. And yet, each and every one of them, not only is incompatible with the guiding themes of Paul's proclamation of Christ's triumph and of God's purpose in election, but is something like their perfect inversion. Well, isn't that interesting? Because we already know that the archons represent the inversions of the Aeons of the Pleroma. And so, although Hart doesn't realize he's implying this, to say that what has come down to us in Christian tradition through Augustine is the perfect inversion of what Paul was actually saying about universal salvation, which means, by definition, that it's the demiurgic or the archonic version of salvation. Isn't that interesting? I mean, that is what I have been implying, that what has been taken to be Christian tradition for the last couple of thousand years is actually a diminishment of the power of Christ and the power and love of the Father. By saying that people can be lost and condemned to eternal torture, that is sacrilegious to me. That is the heresy. And that is what Hart is saying here. He goes on to say on page 133, This is all fairly odd, really. Paul's argument in those chapters is not difficult to follow. What preoccupies him from beginning to end is the agonizing mystery that the Messiah of Israel has come, and yet so few of the children of the house of Israel have accepted the fact, even while so many from outside the covenant have. And Paul wonders, how is the promised Messiah rejected by so many, yet so many outside the temple walls have accepted the Messiah? There are far more Christians than there are Jews at the moment. Why is that? Paul was wondering. Hart says, Paul's is not an abstract question regarding which individual human beings are the saved and which are the damned. In fact, by the end of the argument, the former category, [that is the saved], proves to be vastly larger than that of the elect or the called, while the latter category, [that is the damned], makes no appearance at all. Jumping down the page, he says, “so then what if,” so now he's going to go ahead and quote Paul here, Romans 9:19, Paul says, So then what if God should show his power by preserving vessels suitable only for wrath, keeping them solely for destruction, in order to provide an instructive counterpoint to the riches of the glory he lavishes on vessels prepared for mercy, whom he has called from among the Jews and the Gentiles alike. For as it happens, rather than offering a solution to the quandary in which he finds himself, Paul is simply restating that quandary in its bleakest possible form, at the very brink of despair. He does not stop there, however, because he knows that this cannot be the correct answer. It is so obviously preposterous, in fact, that a wholly different solution must be sought, one that makes sense and that will not require the surrender either of Paul's reason or of his confidence in God's righteousness. Hence, contrary to his own warnings, Paul does indeed continue to question God's justice, and he spends the next two chapters unambiguously rejecting the provisional answer, the vessels of wrath hypothesis, altogether, so as to reach a completely different and far more glorious conclusion—God blesses everyone. Romans 10: 11, 12. And by the way, in Gnostic gospel, we would say the law is actually the Demiurge's rules for human behavior, because our self-will makes us otherwise uncontrollable. Because to the Father above, the only law is love. When we act out of love, all else follows. Going on, Hart says, As for the believing remnant of Israel, [Romans 11:5], it turns out that they have been elected not as the limited number of the saved within Israel, but as the earnest through which all of Israel will be saved. They are waiting for the Anointed to come and take the place of the King of Israel, King of the Jews. King of the Jews is one of the titles of the Messiah. That means the capstone of their pleroma. You see? It's all of these pyramidal shapes that are first designed up there in the Fullness of God, the pleroma. What Paul is saying is that the Jews that are in the pleroma of Israel, it's their remnant that makes them holy. It's their remnant that is the spiritual part, the higher part, the called part, the elect part of the pleroma of the nation of the Hebrews. And it is through those elect that all of the Jews will be saved, ultimately. Hart says, For the time being, true, a part of Israel is hardened, but this will remain the case only until the ”full entirety” [that is the pleroma] of the Gentiles enter in. The unbelievers among the children of Israel may have been allowed to stumble, but God will never allow them to fall. Hart's just saying that Israel's reluctance or slowness to believing that Jesus is the Messiah is just slowing down the progress of history to give everyone else a chance to catch up to it. Quoting Hart again, We're in Romans now, 11:11. This then is the radiant answer dispelling the shadows of Paul's grim what if in the ninth chapter of Romans. It's clarion negative. It turns out that there is no final illustrative division between the vessels of wrath and vessels of mercy. That was a grotesque, all too human thought that can now be chased away for good. God's wisdom far surpasses ours, and his love can accomplish all that it intends. “He has bound everyone in disobedience so as to show mercy to everyone.” [That's Romans 11:32.] All are vessels of wrath precisely so that all may be made vessels of mercy. . . That Paul's great attempt to demonstrate that God's election is not some arbitrary act of predilective exclusion, but instead a providential means for bringing about the unrestricted inclusion of all persons, has been employed for centuries to advance what is quite literally the very teaching that he went to such great lengths explicitly to reject. . . Yet this is still not my principal point. I want to say something far more radical. I want to say that there is no way in which persons can be saved as persons except in and with all other persons. This may seem an exorbitant claim, but I regard it as no more than an acknowledgment of certain obvious truths about the fragility, dependency, and exigency of all that make us who and what we are. Oh, this is a very interesting portion. Okay, listen to this. Jumping to page 149. No soul is who or what it is in isolation, and no soul's sufferings can be ignored without the sufferings of a potentially limitless number of other souls being ignored as well. And so it seems if we allow the possibility that even so much as a single soul might slip away unmourned into everlasting misery, the ethos of heaven turns out to be “every soul for itself”—which is also, curiously enough, precisely the ethos of hell. But Christians are obliged, it seems clear, to take seriously the eschatological imagery of scripture. And there all talk of salvation involves the promise of a corporate beatitude, a kingdom of love and knowledge, a wedding feast, a city of the redeemed, the body of Christ, which means that the hope Christians cherish must in some way involve the preservation of whatever is deepest in and most essential to personality rather than a perfect escape from personality. But finite persons are not self-enclosed individual substances. They are dynamic events of relation to what is other than themselves. And then Hart summons up the idea of a single recurrent image, he says, That of a parent whose beloved child has grown into quite an evil person, but who remains a parent nevertheless, and therefore keeps and cherishes countless tender memories of the innocent and delightful being that has now become lost in the labyrinth of that damaged soul. Is all of that, those memories, those anxieties and delights, those feelings of desperate love, really to be consigned to the fire as just so much combustible chaff? Must it all be forgotten or willfully ignored for heaven to enter into that parent's soul? And if so, is this not the darkest tragedy ever composed? And is God not then a tragedian utterly merciless in his poetic omnipotence? Who or what is that being whose identity is no longer determined by its relation to that child? [Skipping to page 153] Personhood as such is not a condition possible for an isolated substance. It is an act, not a thing. And it is achieved only in and through a history of relations with others. We are finite beings in a state of becoming, and in us there is nothing that is not an action, dynamism, an emergence into a fuller or a retreat into a more impoverished existence. And so, as I said in my first meditation, we are those others who make us. Spiritual personality is not mere individuality, nor is personal love one of its merely accidental conditions or extrinsic circumstances. A person is first and foremost a limitless capacity, a place where the all shows itself with a special inflection. We exist as the place of the other, to borrow a phrase from Michel de Certeau. Certainly, this is the profoundest truth in the doctrine of resurrection. That we must rise from the dead to be saved is a claim not simply about resumed corporeality, whatever that might turn out to be, but more crucially, about the fully restored existence of the person as socially, communally, corporately constituted. Each person is a body within the body of humanity, which exists in its proper nature only as the body of Christ. Well, that's pretty neat. See, we are nested fractal hierarchies of the pleroma of the Fullness of God. And if you've been with me a while, you know what that long and complicated sentence means. Picture a pyramidal shape, picture every living part of your body as building up the pyramid, and your conscious self is the capstone of that pleroma that makes up your body. Now, you are then nested along with all other humans into the pleroma of humanity, the body of humanity, also called the body of Adam. Just the way our cells nest up into building us, we nest up into building the great body of humanity. And then, Hart is saying this body of humanity exists in its proper nature only as the body of Christ, because when we then nest up and make Christ the king of our pleroma, we are nested into the Fullness of Christ. And that is what the final salvation resting point is. When we all finally pass through the final judgment and nest up into Christ, then we're all nested up into the pleroma, we're all nested up into the Son. And there we are. And we will still have our lives the way the Fullness has their lives. They dream together as one of paradise. And that's where we're headed. Hart says, Our personhood must truly consist not only in the immediate love of those close at hand, but also in our disposition toward those whom we, by analogy, care for from afar. Or even in the abstract, for the most essential law of charity, of love, when it is truly active, is that it must inexorably grow beyond all immediately discernible boundaries in order to be fulfilled and to continue to be active. And all of those in whom each of us is implicated, and who are implicated in each of us, are themselves in turn implicated and intertwined in countless others, and on and on without limit. We belong of necessity to an indissoluble co-inherence of souls. And I think that down here on the physical level, on the material plane, the demiurgic version of that shared coherence of all souls together is quantum entanglement. That's the Demiurge's material version of how we are implicated and intertwined with every other soul. And now he goes on to say something that's very Gnostic. On the next page, Hart says, There may be within each of us—indeed there surely is—that divine spark, that divine light or spark of nous or spirit or atman that is the abiding presence of God in us, the place of radical sustaining divine imminence, nearer to me than my inmost parts. But that light is the one undifferentiated ground of our existence, not the particularity of our personal existence, in and with one another. Oh, hey, there it is. That's what I'm always saying. This one spark, that's what we call the big S Self. And the particularity of our personal existence is what we here at Gnostic Insights label as our Ego. So we are made up of the Self that we share with all others and that we share with the Son, but we are also our own individual existence. That's why we can't just blink out into nothingness and not be missed, because we have our particularity, and it has its own place in the hierarchy. Then Hart says, But then this is to say that either all persons must be saved or that none can be. [He says,] God could, of course, erase each of the elect as whoever they once were by shattering their memories and attachments like the gates of hell and then raise up some other being in each of their places, thus converting the will of each into an idiot bliss stripped of the loves that made him or her this person, associations and attachments and pity and tenderness and all the rest. If that were the case, only in hell could any of us possess something like a personal destiny, tormented perhaps by the memories of the loves we squandered or betrayed, but not deprived of them altogether. [Jumping to 157, he says], I am not I in myself alone, but only in all others. If then anyone is in hell, I too am partly in hell. . . For the whole substance of Christian faith is the conviction that another has already and decisively gone down into that abyss for us to set all the prisoners free, even from the chains of their own hatred and despair, and hence the love that has made all of us who we are and that will continue throughout eternity to do so, cannot ultimately be rejected by anyone. Amen. And that's the end of the third meditation. Now the fourth meditation, we just don't even have time to get to. It's called, What is Freedom? And if you want to hear the fourth meditation in depth, please text me in the comments and ask for more David Bentley Hart That All Shall Be Saved. But as for now, this treatise on what is freedom? I'll actually just jump to the last page and skip all of the explanations. The fourth meditation, What is Freedom? is all about free will. I guess I'll include it in some future episode about free will and just quote Hart extensively in that episode. But to close it out, Hart says, It would make no sense to suggest that God, who is by nature not only the source of being, but also the good and the true and the beautiful and everything else that makes spirits exist as rational beings, would truly be all in all if the consummation of all things were to eventuate merely in a kind of extrinsic divine supremacy over creation. But God is not a god, [or as we would say, the God Above All Gods is not the Demiurge, is how we would put it in Gnostic terms]. And his final victory, as described in scripture, will consist not merely in his assumption of perfect supremacy over all, but also in his ultimately being all in all. Could there then be a final state of things in which God is all in all, while yet there existed rational creatures whose inward worlds consisted in an eternal rejection of and rebellion against God as the sole and consuming and fulfilling end of the rational will's most essential nature? If this fictive and perverse interiority were to persist into eternity, would God's victory over every sphere of being really be complete? Or would that small miserable residual flicker of Promethean defiance remain forever as the one space in creation from which God has been successfully expelled? Surely it would, so it too must pass away. All right, that ends this long episode, because I was trying to wrap up the entire book, which I almost did. Write to me, tell me what you think of this sort of thing. I'd especially like to hear from people who used to be Christians, or who were raised in the church, and who fell away from the church because of some of these very problems and conundrums that we've been talking about for the last four episodes.

Send us a textOn this episode of Movies Worth Seeing, we take on One Battle After Another — and fair warning, this one did not survive the review.We went in open-minded, ready to meet the film where it was… but what we got was a bloated, self-serious experience that mistakes noise for meaning and ambition for depth. Instead of tension, momentum, or emotional payoff, the film delivers repetition, confusion, and a whole lot of wheel-spinning.In this episode, we break down:Why the movie feels exhausting rather than grippingHow “important” themes are hinted at but never exploredThe lack of payoff after all that buildupWhere the storytelling completely loses the audienceAnd why ambition alone doesn't make a movie worth your timeThis isn't a hate-watch for the sake of it — it's an honest conversation about why some films just don't work, no matter how hard they try to look meaningful.

Have you ever woken up after a night of eating past fullness — maybe snacking until 2:00 a.m. — and immediately thought,“I need to make up for this.”So you skip breakfast.You fast.You restrict.You punish.In this episode, I talk about why that instinct — the need to compensate or “undo” — is one of the biggest reasons cravings, binge cycles, and weight struggles keep repeating.1. The Restrict–Binge Cycle So Many People Live InI hear this all the time:“I eat really clean during the week, but on the weekends I completely derail.”I lived this pattern myself.What started as a Friday night “cheat meal” eventually became a full weekend of foods I told myself were off-limits — followed by guilt, shame, and restriction to make up for it.This isn't about willpower. This is a nervous system pattern.2. When Fasting Becomes PunishmentIntermittent fasting can be a powerful health tool.But I share honestly how I used fasting as a way to punish myself for eating behaviors I felt ashamed of. Instead of supporting my body, I was triggering my nervous system into protection mode.The difference wasn't fasting itself — it was why I was doing it.When restriction is used to compensate, punish, or “fix” yourself, it backfires.3. You Know What to Do — But You Can't Sustain ItIf you:know exactly what to eathave tried every dietdo well for a few weeks, then self-sabotageThe issue isn't lack of knowledge.It's that your nervous system doesn't feel safe enough to sustain consistency.4. Weight Is a Range, Not a NumberI explain why weight is not a single number — it's a range.Daily fluctuations reflect:digestioninflammationhydrationstresshormoneseven the weatherWhen we react emotionally to the scale — restricting when it's up or rewarding ourselves when it's down — we reinforce food obsession and self-sabotage.5. Step 3: Do NOT Skip the Next MealThis is the core message of the episode:No matter what happened the night before —binge eating, emotional eating, nighttime snacking —Do not skip your next meal.Skipping meals in response to guilt or shame signals food scarcity to the nervous system.Adding self-criticism turns that signal into danger.And when the nervous system senses danger:metabolism slowscravings intensifyfat storage increasesbinge behavior becomes more likelyEating the next meal calmly is how you interrupt the cycle.6. Thoughts Trigger BehaviorBehavior doesn't start with food — it starts with thoughts.A trigger activates an old mental loop.That loop pulls you into protection mode.Protection mode drives the behavior you're trying to stop.Skipping meals strengthens that loop.Nourishment breaks it.7. Safety Mode Is Where Healing HappensWhen you eat the next meal without drama, punishment, or shame, you send your body a powerful message:Nothing bad happened.I am safe.I can move on.This is safety mode — parasympathetic, rest-and-digest.This is where:cravings calmfood noise fadesweight releases naturallyhealing happensClosing ReflectionThis episode isn't about being stricter.It's about being kinder.More patient.More grounded.You don't need more discipline —you need more safety.And it starts with the next meal.Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

Building better foundations isn't about chasing the newest framework, tool, or trend. Instead, it's about reinforcing the fundamentals that consistently support good software, healthy teams, and sustainable businesses. This episode closes out the Building Better Foundations series by stepping back and asking a practical question: are we still doing the things that matter most? Foundations rarely feel urgent. Because they're repetitive and often invisible, they're easy to deprioritize when deadlines tighten. However, when quality drops, focus slips, or growth stalls, the root cause is almost always the same—the foundations weren't maintained. Why Building Better Foundations Start With "Why" At the core of every strong foundation is clarity. Why does this work matter? Why does this business exist? Why are you building this product at all? Without clear answers, priorities blur and effort becomes reactive. As a result, teams stay busy without making meaningful progress. Re-centering on purpose provides a filter for decisions, helping teams choose what not to do just as much as what to pursue. The same principle applies to software and business. When purpose is clear, design decisions improve, roadmaps stabilize, and trade-offs become easier to justify. Building Better Foundations and Process Before Tools Tools are tempting—especially automation and AI. However, tools don't fix broken processes; they amplify them. If the underlying workflow is unclear or inefficient, adding technology only creates faster chaos. For that reason, building better foundations requires understanding the process first and then deciding where tools truly add value. This approach helps teams avoid constant tool churn and keeps attention focused on outcomes rather than novelty. Process Before Automation Clarify and stabilize workflows before introducing AI or automation Automating broken processes increases complexity, not productivity Building Better Foundations in Daily Developer Work Foundations show up in everyday habits. For example, designing before coding, writing meaningful comments, and committing code with intent all contribute to long-term stability. Although these practices may feel optional under pressure, they're what make systems maintainable and resilient. Skipping them might save minutes today, but it usually costs hours later. Over time, consistency in these habits separates fragile codebases from durable ones. Building Better Foundations for Business Growth For independent developers, consultants, and leaders, building better foundations also means working on the business—not just in it. While billable work feels productive, it doesn't scale by itself. Sustainable growth requires time spent on branding, marketing, process improvement, and planning. Although this work is often non-billable, it directly supports future stability. Working On vs. In the Business Non-billable work creates long-term opportunity Small, consistent investments compound over time Building Better Foundations and Focused Execution Distraction is one of the biggest threats to strong foundations. New ideas, side projects, and constant context switching quietly erode momentum. Focused execution means regularly checking whether current work aligns with real priorities. Short work cycles, clear goals, and intentional pauses help prevent drift and keep effort aligned. Foundation Checkpoint Are today's tasks aligned with your core goals? What can be deferred, simplified, or removed? Using AI to Strengthen Building Better Foundations AI can be a powerful accelerator when used intentionally. In practice, the most effective use cases target repetitive, low-value work and free up time for higher-impact thinking. Used thoughtfully, AI reinforces better foundations by supporting focus and experimentation. On the other hand, used carelessly, it becomes just another source of noise. Resetting Your Year With Building Better Foundations As this series wraps up, the takeaway is straightforward: revisit your foundations. Write down your goals. Clarify your priorities. Then build a roadmap and commit to it. Ultimately, building better foundations isn't a one-time effort. It's an ongoing discipline that enables growth, resilience, and adaptability. If you want better outcomes this year, start by strengthening what everything else depends on.

Prince Andrew's decision to skip his own daughter Princess Eugenie's eleventh birthday in order to remain with Jeffrey Epstein stands as one of the clearest illustrations of how distorted his priorities had already become long before the scandal exploded publicly. While his wife and daughters traveled to Disneyland for a family celebration, Andrew chose to stay behind in Florida at Epstein's mansion after days spent socializing with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. This was not a work obligation, a diplomatic emergency, or a matter of state. It was a voluntary choice to abandon a milestone in his child's life to continue the company of a man who was already known within elite circles for troubling behavior and dubious dealings. The image is stark: a prince of the realm missing his daughter's birthday because the pull of Epstein's world mattered more than family, duty, or basic judgment.What makes the episode especially damning is not just the neglect, but what it reveals about Andrew's character and values. This was not an isolated lapse, but part of a broader pattern in which Epstein's access, wealth, and social utility repeatedly took precedence over responsibility and common sense. Andrew later insisted he ended the friendship in 2000, yet this incident occurred after that supposed break, exposing the claim as fiction and reinforcing how deeply embedded he remained in Epstein's orbit. Skipping a child's birthday is small compared to the allegations that followed, but symbolically it captures the core of Andrew's downfall: entitlement over accountability, indulgence over obligation, and a willingness to trade family, reputation, and eventually his royal role itself for proximity to a predator whose protection he seemed determined to preserve.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew Skipped Eugenie's 11th Birthday to Party with Epstein: Report

Perimenopause can feel confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming — but what if it's actually an invitation to listen, reset, and rebuild? In this episode, Bria Gadd, also known as The Period Whisperer, reframes perimenopause as a powerful turning point and shares practical tools to help women stop fighting their bodies and start working with them. Episode Highlights & Talking Points Reframing Perimenopause Why perimenopause isn't a breakdown — it's a breakthrough How this season exposes what your body has been quietly asking for Why so many capable, driven women feel betrayed by their bodies during this transition Hormones, Anxiety & Night Sweats Why progesterone is often the first hormone to drop How estrogen fluctuations contribute to anxiety and sleep disruption The connection between cortisol, blood sugar, and waking up at night Health Debt Explained What "health debt" really means and why it catches up in midlife How years of overtraining, under-fueling, and ignoring symptoms compound over time Why doing more often backfires during perimenopause Energy Supply vs. Energy Demand Why the body's top priority during this phase is survival How to lower energy demand instead of pushing harder The three pillars of energy supply: sleep, nourishment, and joy Nutrition, Liver & Gut Health Why hormones are often the "canary in the coal mine" How liver detoxification and gut health impact estrogen balance Why many high-achieving women have depleted, not dysfunctional, guts Actionable Tools for Relief Seed cycling explained and how it supports hormone balance Simple nighttime strategies to calm cortisol and get back to sleep Why minerals are foundational — especially during hormonal transitions Peptides: What's Real vs. Hype Why peptides are not a replacement for foundational health How peptide therapy fits into functional medicine (when done correctly) The importance of working with a qualified practitioner Strength, Longevity & Training Why lifting weights becomes non-negotiable as women age How muscle protects hormones and long-term vitality Redefining success as quality of life, strength, and freedom Quotes from Bria Gadd "Perimenopause isn't the problem — it's the moment your body asks you to finally listen." "So many women are incredible at pushing through, but this season doesn't reward that — it requires a new relationship with your body." "Health debt is what happens when energy supply and demand no longer meet — and like financial debt, it compounds." "If your body isn't responding the way it used to, it's not failing — it's trying to survive." "Skipping meals is one of the fastest ways to drive cortisol and worsen hormone imbalance." "Your body at midlife is the result of the last 40 to 50 years — which is why the path forward has to be personalized."
