Research shows that Tobacco 21 (T21) policies with a minimum legal age to purchase tobacco products of 21 years reduce youth smoking, yet their potential long-term impact varies across US states. Jamie Tam, MPH, PhD, of the Yale University School of Public Health discusses these findings with JAMA Health Forum Editor John Ayanian, MD, MPP, and Deputy Editor Melinda Buntin, PhD.

Hello and welcome back to season 10!In this episode I am speaking with Jane fisher, Director of Antenatal Results and Choices about TFMR and abortion within the political sphere.Many do not realise how much ARC keeps up with the abortion debate within the UK and how they insure that politicians are informed and educated about TFMR. Unfortunately, we always need to be on our toes for those politicians seeking to lower the gestation age for abortion (24 weeks in the UK) and/or trying to ban women from being able to have a TFMR for certain conditions, like T21.We discuss what happened just before the UK election this summer and how ARC quietly works in the background on these issues.We hope you enjoy listening.

Riata shares her story of her baby Riana and the diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot and Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD, a heart defect) and T21. Riata was 29 at the time of this first pregnancy. She had to travel for care, due to living in a very rural part of Wyoming. Riata wishes to share her story to remind those opposed to abortion that abortion bans affect more than their propaganda "poster child" of abortion. It doesn't discriminate by demographics, religious affiliation, political party, or social status - because it is healthcare! Riata has also shared her story in an advocacy manner in other publications: https://www.nytimes.com/.../27/us/abortion-women-tfmr.html https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/roe-v-wade-reversal-brings-uncertainty-in-states-with-trigger-laws/ Resources mentioned:1.“Releasing a Wanted Pregnancy” TFMR support & resources pamphlet.

A conversation between brothers in arms who have known each other since the early 1980s - one an athlete, the other his coach at the time.----more---- SUMMARY Neither has ventured far from the Air Force or the Academy. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark '86, the Academy's 21st superintendent, opens up about his leadership journey to Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Gould '76, the man who first coached him all those years ago. Gen. Clark's leadership story is exceptional and Gen. Gould does a masterful job of helping him tell it. OUR FAVORITE QUOTES "The one thing that doesn't change is our mission. And our mission is to develop lieutenants, better leaders of character that are ready to go out and win our wars and that are ready to go out support defend the Constitution. That is it." "Whenever there's Americans on the ground, we're going to do whatever it takes to help them you will do whatever it takes." "Seeing those young guys go out there and do that, and do what they needed to do to help other Americans to help their fellow servicemen that made me prouder than anything." "I am very happy and comfortable to leave this torch with them to hand the torch off to them. And I'm just proud to have served with them." "I am leaving with a lot of gratitude in my heart, just from our cadets from our permanent party, from the alumni that helped us do this and the other supporters."

Mike Gould '76 Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 00:12 The one thing that doesn't change is our mission. And our mission is to develop lieutenants, better leaders of character, that are ready to go out and win our wars and that are ready to go out and support and defend the Constitution. That's it. Announcer 00:27 Welcome to the Long Blue Leadership podcast. These are powerful conversations with United States Air Force Academy graduates who have lived their lives with distinction. All leaders of character who candidly share their stories, including their best and worst moments, the challenges they've overcome the people and events that have shaped who they are, and who willingly lend their wisdom to advance your leadership journey. Your host for this special presentation of Long Blue Leadership is Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Gould, USAFA class of '76 and currently serving as a member of the Association and Foundation board of directors. And now, Gen. Mike Gould. Lt. Gen Mike Gould 01:09 My guest today is Lt. Gen. Rich Clark, the 21st superintendent of the Air Force Academy, Class of '86 at USAFA, and if I'm not mistaken, you're about 46 days away from retiring. After a 38-year career, that when you think about it, has spanned so much in our country, starting with the Cold War through conflicts in Southwest Asia, in the Middle East, and the culture wars that we all experience today. I think his experience in active duty is highlighted most by seven commands that he's held; a bomb squadron, a training wing, to numbered Air Force's, the joint functional component command for Global Strike, served as the commandant of cadets here at the Academy. And now like I said, as the 21st superintendent. In addition to that, Gen. Clark served as the senior defense official, and the defense attaché in Cairo during some interesting times, and also served as a White House fellow. And if that's not enough, he's flown over 4,200 hours in the B1, both the EC and KC-135, the T1, the T38, the T6 and the T21. And most notably, 400 of those hours are in combat. So Rich, as you look back on the past nearly four decades of service, I'm sure you have a lot to think about as it's all coming to an end. And really, how it all started. I'd like you to please share with us a little bit about your life as a young child. And you know, some of the influential people who you met in your formative years, and then kind of how that led you here to the Air Force Academy. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 02:58 Wow, well, first, can I call you Coach, General Gould? Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 03:02 You (can) call me Coach… Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 03:03 I'll call you Coach because you were my coach when I was here, and you saw me walk in the doors here. So, I'll talk a little bit about that. But I just want to thank you for letting me be here today. This is a real honor. So, thank you. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark But I grew up in the Bay Area, Oakland, Berkeley, California, and my parents were divorced. So, it was my mother, my brother and I. And then when my mom got remarried, we moved to the East Coast to Richmond, Virginia, and that's where I went to high school, and not a military family. My dad was drafted back in the Vietnam era. He served a short tour, so I don't really remember those days. So, I don't consider myself really from a military family and really hadn't considered joining the military. I played football, I played a lot of sports. Growing up, football was my primary — and track actually, but football the primarily, and I had signed to go to William & Mary in Virginia, and I was going with my best friend from high school and actually in junior high. And Coach Ken Hatfield came to my house. And the Air Force had been recruiting me. So did Army and Navy. And he actually came to my house though and visited my parents. And he had dinner at our house, and my mom thought, “He is such a nice man. And he was like, “Look, just come out and see the Air Force Academy.” Now what he didn't know was that I wanted to, I was very interested in flying more commercial. I always thought I wanted to be a commercial pilot. And he convinced me to come out. My mom was like, “Just go; it's free.” You know, I was like, OK, and so I still had a couple of college visits left. So, I came to the Air Force Academy. I'll be honest, I got here and after seeing the place and seeing the opportunities to fly — just to have a great education and to play Division I college football, I was hooked. And I, my dad — my stepdad who I consider my dad — made me call the coach at William & Mary tell him I was changing my mind. And I signed and came to Air Force. And when I got off the bus and got on those footprints , and they started yelling at me, I was like, “Hey, wait, I'm a football player. You're not supposed to yell at me.” That's what I thought. And that was not true. And the rest is history. And, you know, it was an important decision in my life, certainly. But, you know, I appreciate Coach Hatfield being persistent and coming to get me and, you know, talk to my parents, formative people, obviously. But it was a great decision. Great decision. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 05:48 Did you also visit West Point and or Annapolis? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 05:52 I did not because I didn't want to go to a — I wasn't interested, really in a service academy. What I will say, though, I did fill out an application to Air Force before Coach Hatfield came. And I did go and do an interview with my congressional member. Because my guidance counselor convinced me to do that in case I didn't get another good offer from somewhere else. And I actually got a congressional appointment. But then the Academy contacted me, and I told them I was going to turn it down. And that's when Coach Hatfield came to my house. But I, I went through the motions, I think, but I didn't really have an intention to come. I wanted to go to William & Mary, and I wasn't even going to visit Army and Navy because, you know, there wasn't something I was interested in. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 06:46 I'll bet you've looked back and asked yourself the question, what would you be doing now had you gone to William and Mary, or one of these other schools? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 06:54 Hard for me to picture my life without being in the Air Force and the Air Force Academy, right? Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 07:01 Now, you let on a little bit about falling in on the footprints. But as you look back at arriving at the Academy, and you're in now, you signed up and you're going to be a Falcon, what kind of memories do you have about basic training and leading into your first fall semester? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 07:21 Yeah. So, here's the here's one memory I definitely have — and I talk to the cadets about this sometimes — I mentioned the phone-booth to them. And they're like, “What? “What's a phone booth?” Well, you know, I explained to them, there were these big boxes that had a telephone and you had a card that you could call home. And in basic training, about halfway through, you got to call home. And I call my mom. And I said, “Mom, this place is not for me. I'm ready to come home.” She's like, “Oh, that's great. Because the William & Mary coach called last week to see how you're doing. You could probably still get your scholarship.” And I was like, “Oh.” I was expecting her to say, “Well, you better not come home.” But she said, “You know, that's OK.” And truth is, I looked out the door, you know, they had the glass doors, and all my classmates are lined up out the door waiting for their turn to come in. And honestly, I thought, “Man, I'm not ready to leave these guys yet.” And so, she said, “You come on home, it's OK.” And I said, “Well, you know what, mom, I think I'm just gonna' finish basic training. And then I'll see. I want to stick that out with these guys.” You know, I made some great friends. It's not what I expected, but I liked the people. So, I stayed. And then after basic training, she asked me, “Are you still going to come home?” And I said, “Well, you know, I think I'll stick it out one semester, I'd really like to play football because I've gotten in with the team now. And I got some friends on the team. So maybe I could play one season. I think I've got a good chance to make the varsity.” And I did that. And then it was, “You know, Mom, maybe I'll stay for my rest of my freshman year.” It was like one step at a time until eventually I was like, “You know, I'm in.” But it was not a done deal for a while for me, you know, where I just said, “You know what, this is it. I'm in the right place.” I think after that first year, though, I realized that I was, you know — it took some time though. And football had a lot to do with it. The friends you make, the success we had as a team. That was just great. And I love my squadron. I was in 7th Squadron. Great, great friends there. So, after a year though, I feel like I was in but there was that moment in that phone booth and basic training where I was like, “Man, I don't know.” But I did it and I'm glad I did. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 09:52 Well, everything you just went through right there was referencing the people. That's what kept you there. But then you get into academics and you get your military training. How did you navigate some of those things? And you know, I know you had fun with your buddies and football is always a hoot. But about the other challenges that the Academy threw at you? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 10:15 Yeah. So, I actually, I liked academics, I did pretty well, I was on Dean's List most semesters, like seven of my eight semesters, I made the Dean's List. So not that I didn't have some challenges. I mean, there's those certain courses that you're just like, “Oh, my goodness.” But overall, academics wasn't the big challenge. I think the challenge for me was not having some of the freedoms that you wanted early on because you're sort of getting acclimatized to it, you know, you're getting used to not being able to do certain things, the military lifestyle, you have to get used to that a little bit. But once I got that — and going back to the people, everybody's kind of struggling with that. And when you're all struggling together, it just makes it a lot more bearable and doable. And I think after that first year, I was in, I was like, “You know, I'm in the right place. And I'm gonna' stay here.” I did have a moment though. When I was a sophomore, I tore my knee up playing football, the last game, San Diego State. Just ripped my ACL. My MCL — meniscus cartilage — had [to be] reconstructed. And I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to play football again. And that made me kind of think a little bit about was I going to stay. And I had to come to terms with some things, you know, “Why am I here? What's my real purpose?” And as much as football meant to me, I was here for something bigger than that. And I realized that unfortunately, at that point when I was injured, I think that was also the point where I really came to terms with why I was here, that it was something bigger than myself. And I wanted to be a part of it. And so I stayed. I was still determined to play and I did get to play, you know, the next season. But my purpose was a bit different, you know, and that injury really helped me kind of figure things out and sort through my greater purpose. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 12:18 Gave you that confidence of overcoming adversity. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 12:21 Absolutely. Like sports does. Right. That's it. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 12:24 Now, back in my day, we didn't really have a sponsorship program — sponsor families in town. But I think by the time you were a cadet, that program existed to have a sponsor family. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 12:41 They were awesome. The Frables, Neil and Elizabeth. I just had lunch with Neil about four months ago. We still we stay in touch and they're just awesome. And they were so good. They sponsored four of us. And they actually gave each of us a key to their house. And a key to their third car. Oh, my goodness, that was a lifesaver. And they cooked a lot. And we ate a lot. And they just they really opened their homes up to us. So, I credit them. I mean, they were my second family, and still just love them for what they did for us. They were a great, great sponsor family. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 13:24 When you were a cadet, did you participate in any formal leadership programs? Did you hold some positions within the cadet wing? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 13:35 O don't think they thought that highly of me. I wasn't that kind of cadet. I was the D.O. for my squadron. And that was because one of my buddies was a squadron commander. He's like, “Hey, man, will you help me?” And I was like, “Yeah, I'll do this.” But that was the most leadership experience I got and, you know, informal way. But I was glad to do that. It was my squadron. Although, when I told my friends to clean their rooms up and stuff, they'd always give me grief. You know, all these seniors. We were all seniors together. And they're like, “Who are you to tell me this?” Peer leadership is the hardest thing in the world. But yeah, I didn't rise to the level of like group or wing leadership or anything like that. So, the cadets were already surprised to hear that I'm like not, I wasn't that good of a cadet. I mean, I was like your average kind of cadet that did pretty well. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 14:28 Well, you're being modest here. I watched you lead on that football team. You guys had some success and a really tight group. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 14:35 We did. I loved our team. We had a lot of leaders on our football team, though. And people — I always characterize the leadership on our football team — people knew when they needed to lead. You know, there was just times where someone needed to step up and be a leader. And it might not be that you were the leader all the time. But when it was needed, somebody always stepped up. And that was I think the hallmark of our team. And it was just a great group of people, humble leaders, all about team success. And I learned as much leadership from football as I did anywhere else here at the Academy. And credit to Coach DeBerry, Coach Hatfield, you know, all of our coaches, and my teammates, for just helping me develop as a man and, and what kind of a leader and person I wanted to be. So that was as much of a leadership laboratory as anything for me. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 15:33 So, it sounds like when it came time to toss your hat and put on the gold bars, you were prepared to go out and be a lieutenant in the Air Force. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 15:43 I think I was. And my first job was right back and coaching football here. So that was a nice transition from the Academy. I taught unarmed combat, PE, and I coached the JV football team and you, you were at the prep school then I think, Coach, and so… But that was a phenomenal job. And there were like eight of us that stayed back and did that. That was just great. And you know, you had to employ some leadership there because you're trying to lead the cadets. And whether they're on football or in the PE class. So, I learned a lot doing that, but I really enjoyed it. I love being back here. And honestly, it gave me a whole different appreciation for the Academy. Because when you're a cadet, you are looking about five feet in front of you and you don't stop to look at the mountains and you don't stop to look at all that everybody's doing to make this place happen and the passion that people really have for our cadets. That was when I first kind of said, “You know what, this place really is special.” But you don't get that as a cadet necessarily. Some cadets, so they're special anyway, but cadets like me, I didn't know, and I was just ready to graduate. But that one year gave me a whole different appreciation. And I'm grateful for it. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 17:00 Right. And then you headed off to pilot training and like most lieutenants, you know, you're gonna' mix in with a new group of people, a new group of friends. Talk to us about your experience as a student pilot, and then on to start your career flying big airplanes. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 17:18 Yes. So, me and one of my good friends, Mike Chandler, we decided we were going to go to pilot training together. He was a teammate in football. And we were actually roommates when we traveled. And we decided we're going together. So, we both went to Laughlin. And we thought we'll go to Laughlin so there's no distractions, there's good weather, we're going to kill pilot training. And when we got there, we realized there's no distractions at all. And there was nothing else to do there. But we had a great time because of the people in our class. And we're the only two Academy grads in the class. But we just we bonded well as a class and pilot training was pretty good. I do remember though, I almost washed out, like in the first month, because I had a couple bad rides in a row. And you know how you get a couple, three bad rides, and you're out? And especially in those days, we lost half of our class, they washed out 50% of our class. And I had these bad rides. And I had to go to what they call an 89. You know, and what that was if you if you fail three rides in a row, right? If you couldn't do your no-flap landings, and you couldn't get them right in the T-37, then you went to an 88. You fail the 88, then you go to the 89. 89 was the elimination, right? And so, I had to go to an 89. And I had to fly with the squadron commander. And the night before, I call my mom again. I always called my mom. And I was like, Mom, tomorrow might be my last flight because I flew today, I failed the ride, and I don't think a whole lot is gonna' change between tonight and tomorrow. And she was like, “Well enjoy it. Because it might be the last time you get to fly an airplane, so you need to at least have fun. It's been your dream and my heart goes out to you. But enjoy the flight. Don't make your last flight something that was a bad memory for you.” And I was like, “Well, if I fail, it's gonna' be a bad memory.” She said, “But at least have fun. You can have fun.” But it was great advice because I went up there, Coach, and I was just relaxed. I even stopped studying when I called her. I didn't study that night. I went to bed, got up in the morning, didn't get up early and study. I went in there, I did my ground evals. I was usually pretty good in the ground evals and I just went up and I flew the sortie. I remember, he told me to do a cloverleaf, you know, the maneuver the cloverleaf, which was my favorite. I did the cloverleaf and he goes, “OK, we can head on back to the pattern now get your pattern work done.” And I said, “Can I do one more clover?” And he's like, “I don't recommend it, the one you did was fine.” And I said, “I know I just like the cloverleaf. Sir, can I just do one more?” He was like, “OK.” And I did another cloverleaf thinking, “You know, this might be my last time I did the cloverleaf.” I flew back to the pattern, I'm talking to the IP and stuff. I did my landings, you know, really uneventful. Got out of the plane, we're walking back, and he goes, “I don't even know why you're in this ride. That was a great ride.” And I was like, “You mean, I passed?” And he was like, “Yeah, great job today, Lt. Clark, you passed.” And what I realized, it was about just relaxing and flying the plane. And it was the best lesson I ever got in an airplane, when you can relax and just let your training kick in. And just don't worry and let your instincts take over. You just fly better. And my mom sort of taught me that. She's like, “Just relax and have a good time.” So, I sort of credited her with keeping me at the Academy. She got me through pilot training. I mean, she was my mom, too. So, I give her that credit. But yeah, that was a good pilot training memory. And, you know, everything's been great since then. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 21:12 So, you head off, and you're going to the EC135 first, right? So, talk to me a little bit about your career progression there as a captain and major and things you look back on from that period. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 21:27 Well, so, here's one big lesson that I got out. When I got the EC135, I wanted to fly C-130. Really I wanted to fly a gunship. And I thought, “I don't even know what that is I didn't put it on my dream sheet. How did I end up getting this?” I was bummed out. And then one of the IP(s) said, “You know, they handpick people to go into the EC135.” Oh, really? Well, because the EC135 was the airborne command post — the nuclear mission at Offutt and you always had a general officer on board. And you could only fly with instructor pilots and a co-pilot. You couldn't have a straight aircraft commander in that plane. And the co-pilot had an immense amount of responsibility in that mission, and you got a whole lot of flying time. And when you got done with that assignment in two years, you got your choice of your next assignment. And a lot of guys went to fighters. They had to compete for that. But then for me, it was the B-1 and I saw that that was available. And I learned that when I first walked in the door because several people got to FP111s and B-1s. And I was like, “Man, I could do this.” I got 2,000 hours in the T-38 because they had the ACE program, the companion trainer program in the EC. And between those two aircraft, I got 2,000 hours, which was plenty for me to go into the B-1. And then I flew the B-1 basically the rest of my career. And so, it was really one of the lessons I learned. Sometimes you get put somewhere that maybe it didn't want or maybe didn't expect, but you make the best of it. And sometimes there's these, sort of, hidden benefits and successes that you didn't even know about. But if you go there and just bloom where you're planted, good things happen. And I learned that early. Fortunately, in the EC135. I flew the B-1 for 17 years. I flew at McConnell which ended up moving B-1s out of there. Dyess Air Force Base, I flew at Ellsworth as a squadron commander. I did do a stint in the Pentagon and legislative liaison in there and I was also a White House fellow, which was an amazing opportunity for me. But those years and the B-1 and doing the Pentagon and the White House fellow were really amazing years. I met Amy in there and we got married. When I was stationed at Dyess as a captain, well, actually I met her as a captain — we dated, and I pinned on just a few months before we got married. But my flying career was just awesome. And my first command was just absolutely a pinnacle point. It was squadron commander and the 34th Bomb Squadron. And I got into that squadron. Sept. 5, 2001, is when I showed up for that and I had just left the White House fellowship, which was just a fantastic opportunity. But I was riding high Sept. 5, and then Sept. 11, happens and everything changed. The squadron deployed and I wasn't checked out yet in the B-1. I had to go through a re-qual program. And so, I can remember when they left. The squadron was heading out and they were, “…or maybe we could just take you as an unqualified pilot,” blah, blah, blah. There was no way that that was going to happen. And so, I can remember that day, when they were leaving, they left about a month after Sept. 11, in October. And I just went and helped pack up bags. I just did whatever I could to help that squadron out. I wasn't the squadron commander at the time. But I remember thinking, “Man, I can't believe the squadron that I was going to go in is going to go without me.” But they did. And I helped. And I tried to be as much of a contributor as I could. And when they came back, I was all qualified. And then a couple of months after that, I took over the squadron. And then they tapped us to go again. And so, I got to deploy the squadron in combat over Iraq. We deployed to Oman and we flew missions at the beginning of OIF. And that was just an unbelievable experience, growth experience, leadership experience, but really, just something I'll never forget, you know, it was hard. It was tough. We're there for about six months. But leading in combat I think is something we all prepare for and want to be ready for. But it's also an honor, you know, to be able to have that kind of responsibility. And I think back on it, and my timing couldn't have been better for me to be able to do that. It was just a highlight of my career. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 26:31 Can we entice you to tell a quick war story about a Distinguished Flying Cross that you are awarded? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 26:37 Oh, well, I could talk about that. Can I talk about a different story there? I have a better one, I do. This was one of my proudest moments I think I had as the squadron commander. I had to line up all the crews, you know, to put experience within experience and make sure that they were balanced out with the people that I knew, and who was going to perform the best. And I had 24 crews. They actually sent me extra crews from a different squadron to make sure that we had a full complement. And the last crew that I had were two of the most inexperienced people in our squadron. Two captains and two lieutenants. And one of them was a brand-new FAPE. Has just come from T-37s into the B-1. And I had to have 24 crews and they were the last four people. And I didn't really have another way to balance the experience and inexperience. So, I did it. And the flight commanders were like, “Don't do it. We can't send these guys out like that.” And I said, “We have to; they need to go. And so, on the second night, they went out they had 24 JDAM, 2,000 pound GPS bombs. And they started out. They orbited in the area, they did well. First they delivered their 12 bombs on-target, the direct targets from the ATO, and they hit those targets. And then they were orbiting, waiting for what we call it, x-cast, somebody to call in and say, “I need some bombs.” And our mantra in the squadron was whenever there's Americans on the ground, we're going to do whatever it takes to help them. You will do whatever it takes. And so, they're orbiting, and they're about at bingo fuel in there, meaning the fuel that they needed to go back, and they get a radio call from an AWAC. There's troops in contact and they need some air power. So, they give this crew, the aircraft commander, this young FAPE goes, “Well, we're close to bingo, but we're not there yet. So, give us the coordinates and give us the radio frequency,” and they fly. And they get this JTAC — joint tactical air control — on the ground. And he's like, “We're getting shelled from a ridgeline. There's Iraqi armored vehicles, they're hitting us hard. We need some bombs. We got 150 soldiers down here, can you give us some bombs.” He's like, “Got it, give us the coordinates.” So, they start getting a nine-line there. They're loading the coordinates, and the “Wizzo” is just putting the bombs, you know, he starts putting them on target. Boom, boom, one at a time. And they get the coordinates, bomb on target. But then they hit bingo. And so the aircraft commander tells the JTAC, “Hey, we're at bingo fuel, we need to get going or we're not going to be able to get back home. But we'll get somebody else out here.” And the JTAC says, “If you leave us now, we're going to get pummeled. Can you stay a little longer?” He says, “We'll stay as long as you want.” And so, they keep putting bombs on target. And they keep putting them down until they went Winchester and the JTAC says, “Hey, the shelling stopped. You guys are cleared out.” And when they turn their nose to go home, they didn't have enough fuel to get back. And so, they get on with AWACS and they're talking to AWACS trying to figure something out. They're looking at divert. Field diverting into a field in Iraq is not a good idea. But finally, a KC-135 flies into the country, into Iraq, unarmed, unafraid, gives them gas and then those guys can come home. And when they got back, they were three hours past their estimated arrival time. And I met him at the airplane because I'm going, “What happened?” And when the aircraft commander comes down the ladder, he's got salt stains on his back. They were working hard. I said, “What happened? He goes, “Sir, we overflew our bingo.” I said, “Well, certainly there's more to it than that.” And so, we go into the intel debrief and they told that story. And all of those, that whole crew, was awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses for what they did. And so that of all the things that happened, to see those young guys go out there and do that, and do what they needed to do to help other Americans, to help their fellow servicemen, that made me prouder than anything, Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 30:44 I guess it would. And you took a chance, in a way, by putting this crew together. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 30:49 I did. Yeah. As far as I was concerned, I didn't have a choice, you know, but I had to trust them to do their job. And they were trained. I mean, they had received the training that was required for them to go to combat, so we have to trust them to do it. And they did it. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 31:05 Well, that's a really cool story. And if my math is right, you are about 15-16 years into your career at that time. Let me shift gears a little bit. How much thought did you give to staying in touch with or staying engaged with the Air Force Academy while you were out? You know, developing your career path. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 31:33 I gave a lot of thought to it. I used to come back for football games. I came back for my reunions for sure. And I don't think financially at that point, I hadn't gotten involved. But a couple years later, when our class, our 20th reunion was starting, that's when I really started realizing financially I could and should start to give back to the Academy. So that was when I think from a financial point, I really connected and realized that. But just from a present standpoint and coming back, I came back at every opportunity. I came back for games; I came back for some mentorship opportunities that people asked me to come talk to cadets and things like that. But I never thought I would get to come back here to work. You know, it never crossed my mind until someone asked me to be the commandant years later. And that was like beyond imagination for me, especially knowing what kind of cadet I was. I was like, “OK, you really want me to be the commandant? I don't think so.” But I got that opportunity down the road. I mean, that was after a lot. I went on to be a wing commander, you mentioned I was the wing commander. At 12th Flying Training Wing, I got to fly all the trainers and that was just awesome. And then I deployed to Iraq for a year, which was an intense year, hard year, I would say probably the hardest year I've had, you know, in my career. And then I got promoted to one star. And they sent me to Barksdale Air Force Base as the vice commander of 8th Air Force. And when I came back from Iraq, I knew I'd gotten promoted. And that job was kind of roundabout. They said, “Hey, we're gonna' send you to Barksdale to be the vice at 8th. But that job is actually going to be downgraded to a colonel and you're about to pin on one star. So we're not sure what's going to happen with you next.” I was like, “Oh, man,” trying to remember the lessons of the past though. I said, “OK. This is where I'm going so let's bloom where I'm planted,” right? So, we all move there. Things were great. And then I remember the MATCOM commander called me in one day and he goes, “You know…, they get the phone call from the secretary. I'm gonna', one, I'm a newly pinned on one star. And he goes, “Hey, you know that job you're in is a colonel job?” And I was like, “Yes, sir, I know. But I love it.” You know, I was being positive. He says, “But we're gonna' have to move you out of there.” “Yes sir. Understood.” And he goes, “What would you think about going to the Air Force Academy and be the commandant?” You could have knocked me over with a feather. And that's when you and I first connected, when I got to come be your commandant when you were the supt. And that was just a dream to be able to come back here and that's when I really connected back, you know, when I got a chance to see it, even from a different level. I talked about it as a coach you know, and seeing how special it is and seeing how passionate people are about our school. But being the commandant gave me a whole different view and being able to engage with the cadets and understand what they were doing and trying to push that development for them. Just amazing and I loved it, and Amy loved it, to live in the Otis House, having the cadets over, trying to help them with their, you know, their development. And that's a big job, right? We all know that because you take it very personally, because you want them to be everything that they can be in there. So amazingly talented. You just want to take that talent and give them every opportunity you can to thrive. So, we did that. And after that, even Amy, she might as well be a grad. I mean, she just fell in love with this place after those two years. Our kids, Milo and Zoey, they were 10 and 8 coming in. Our family just was immersed in USAFA. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 35:40 So, I was going to ask you about the role that Amy and the kids played in your development as a leader, but I got to see it firsthand. And you just went through that. When you had to leave the Academy, if you can remember, I'm sure you do remember this, I wanted to keep you here for a third year. Because you were that perfect role model in so many ways for the cadets. Not only your leadership, you know, in the job, but your family and the way these kids could then look up and say, “I want to do that someday. I think I can be like that guy.” And we wanted to keep you another year and then you came out on the two-star list and you moved on to what was undoubtedly a really, really tough assignment as the DAT and senior guy in Cairo. Tell us about that little bit. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 36:30 Yeah, well, if you remember at first they told me I was going to the Pentagon to be the 8th, which was like the big job. If you're a two-star, you go there, the 8th as the programmer. And Amy loves D.C. And so, they told us we were going there. And then I get a phone call from then-Chief of Staff Gen. Schwartz, actually, he called and said, “Hey, I need you to talk to the GAO management office, the GoMo, who do all the assignments for the general.” And I was like, “Oh, yes, sir. Is there a problem?” And I think you might have known about that — you probably knew about this already. Because it was bad news, I think he wanted to tell me personally or something. And so, I called GoMo. And they go, “Yeah, your assignment's changed. You're not going to the Pentagon, you're going to Egypt.” And I go, “Is there a base in Egypt?” They're like, “No, you're gonna' be working at the embassy as the DET.” And I was like, “Ah, OK. All right. That's good.” And so, then the first thing that came to my mind was telling me, I was like, “Oh man, she's gonna' flip out.” Well, I called her. And I said, “Honey, we're not going to D.C.” And here's the thing. Our movers were already in route, like, they were coming to pack us out. And I said, “We're not going to D.C., we're going to Egypt.” I was bracing for impact. And she goes, “Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? That's amazing.” I was like, she couldn't care less about what job I had, she couldn't care less that I was giving up like the best job to target. She was just looking for that adventure of Egypt. And that actually took a lot of heat off me. Because if she's happy, I'm happy. And so, we went to Egypt. And it actually turned out to be great. But we got truncated on the training. Like, you're supposed to get language school, you're supposed to go through this whole defense attaché course. And I didn't have time because it was a late breaking change. And they said, “Don't worry, you don't need all that training because Egypt's on skids.” That was the exact words of the guy that that told me I was getting a job. And he meant Egypt is in a good place. You know, they just elected a new president, democratically elected, and everything's good. Well, when we got there, I got to the airport and we're all sitting in the lounge at the airport, and I picked up a newspaper, and it was in English. And it said that day, the president fired all the military, all the top military leaders. I was like, I guess we're not on skids anymore. And it just went downhill from there. I was there for a month, and they attacked the embassy. And then a year later, the coup happened. Amy and the kids and all the families within the embassy had to go home. It was an order departure. They all had to leave. I remember telling Amy because I was in the meeting with the ambassador when all this happened. And I said “Hey, you might want to pack a bag because I think you're about to go.” She's like, “Pack a bag?” I said, “You can only pack a carry on.” “How long are we going to be gone?” “I don't know.” And they left and they went to D.C. And we had no idea. They ended up being gone for nine months. The kids started school and everything. Well, there was two thirds of the embassy stayed, but it was actually, from a professional standpoint, awesome. To be involved, often to be our representative on the military side, to work with the Egyptian military to try to help navigate through this coup d'état. And they're a country that we were very interested in keeping as a partner. I got a lot of good experience and just cool, like, opportunities to do things. It was a little scary at times, but I actually loved it. And then Amy and the kids came back. We look at that as one of our best assignments as a family. It was just — the Egyptian people are amazing. The travel that we got to do was incredible. And I just loved the assignment, and it goes back, you know, I mentioned to you, sometimes you get an assignment and you're like, “Gosh, what?” And it turns out to be the best thing ever. And that was one of them. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 40:50 And I thought for sure, somewhere in there, you were gonna' say you called your mom. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 40:57 Then I was married, so then I just had to stop calling my mom after that. Well, I still call her but not for advice. I gotta' call Amy, so, you know? Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 41:06 Well, you had a couple more really challenging assignments. But let's talk about your time as superintendent. Not too many people think that you'll grow up someday and have that type of responsibility. And then when you get here, you realize that it's probably one of the most heavily scrutinized positions you can have in the Air Force. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 41:26 That's an understatement. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 41:29 We can both agree on this. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 41:34 But other than the general leadership and the experiences you have throughout your career, this place is different. USAFA is different than any other command, and in many ways more challenging, because you just hadn't had that experience. How do you reflect back on your time as superintendent and the fact that you you've worked through, I think you had two presidents, two commander in chiefs, you had a couple different secretaries, and they all have guidance that comes to you. But your job then is to make that guidance into your own policy. How have you dealt with all that? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 42:14 You know, honestly, all of us military members are — our job is to make the commander in chief's policy our policy, and to execute that policy. That's our oath. And that's what we do. And so, you know, for me, I feel like we've all done that. I mean, we've all at some point in our careers had to say, you know, “This is the law of the land.” I mean, I'm gonna' follow my oath to the Constitution, support and defend. And that's a part of it. So, in that aspect, you saw it was no different. But like you said, it's such a, I don't know, everybody has an idea. Everybody thinks they can run the Air Force. Everybody thinks that it should flow along their ideological lines, or whatever. And, frankly, it's about our country's policies that we have to abide by. But the one thing that doesn't change is our mission. And our mission is to develop lieutenants that are leaders of character that are ready to go out and win our wars, and that are ready to go out, support, defend the Constitution. That's it. And the policy things that people get so hung up on, sometimes they're really on the periphery, and they're not as entrenched. And what we do as people might think are — our core mission has never changed. There are some nuances, there's some things that might change a little bit, society changes. Young people change, you know, people that are 18 to 24. It's a pretty volatile group, in a way, and they change with society, too. So, we have to tweak and adjust based on our superiors, you know, people in the Pentagon and OSD and our president. We have to change based on society, and who we have coming into the Air Force Academy. And frankly, parents get a vote in this and the things that happen. And alumni always have a voice in this as well. They make their voice well known. But in the end, what it's my job to do is to make sure that our team is inoculated enough from all that, that we can continue to do our job and make sure that these warfighters are ready to go out and do what those lieutenants and those captains did for me as a squadron commander. That we're putting people out that are ready to go do that. And I always have in mind, like that story that I told you, Coach, it's always in the back of my mind. I hope that I'm developing people that are ready to go out and do what Those guys did that day. If our lieutenants are ready to fight like that, then we've succeeded. And that's my goal. I've never been a political person. But I get dragged into it all the time. And my job is to make sure that when I do get dragged into it, that we're still able to execute our mission, and that I don't drag the entirety of the Academy into it. And you know how it is. That's our job as leaders: to provide that top cover, and that shield, so that our people can do their job and produce those lieutenants that are going to go win wars. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 45:34 Well, that's a great attitude, and you've done it well. Tell me about your relationship with the Association of Graduates and Foundation? How have they contributed to your successes here at the Academy? And is there anything that the two organizations could do better? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 45:52 Well, I will say, let me start off with, enormous support from the Foundation and the AOG. And it's hard for everyone to really know what kinds of things you guys do for us. But all you need to do is drive around the campus, right? And look at the North Commons area, look at our new hotel, look at our visitor center, that's coming up, look at the Cyber Innovation Center that's coming up, look at our football stadium that's getting built. All those things are either fully private or public-private, that the Foundation has to not only raise the money, but facilitate those things happening. And I would say that, nowadays, we're not going to have very much construction that's going to happen here or any growth that the Foundation isn't involved in. You're going to have to be involved in pretty much everything that we do, if we want to keep evolving as an Academy. And since I've been here, the Foundation has done that. And the Foundation and the AOG are only as strong as our alumni. And I guess I've always known that intuitively. But since I've been here, it is entrenched in me and I will always be a supporter of our Academy from a financial standpoint, from my time standpoint, but it's critical, not just for our Academy, but really for the product, those 1,000 lieutenants that we put out, they benefit enormously from the help that we get. And those are just the big things. Forget about all of the research opportunities, the travel opportunities, the opportunities to bring in guest speakers, NCLS, you know, the National Character and Leadership Symposium is NCLS. There's so many other things that people don't even know that only happened because someone was willing to put their resources behind our Academy. And so, you know, the Foundation makes that happen for us to AOG brings them in, but together, that support is just enormous. And, you know, I get a lot of compliments about people who they see — the visitors that we have coming through the Carlton House, you know, the supt. house — thousands of people that come through there: cadets, donors, dignitaries, all kinds of people. All that happens because of gift funds from the Foundation. We're able to represent our Academy in a way that people can't even understand. And that also, you know — there's a synergy from that and an exponential effect from us being able to do those kinds of things that most universities do. But the government doesn't always support those things because it's not in a funding line. But the Foundation helps us to make those things happen. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 48:45 Well, you've summed it up pretty well. Our goal is for the Association to be relevant in the lives of cadets through their time here at the Academy and onto their careers. So that eventually they follow into that continuum where they go to the Foundation and say, “How can I help?” And we're seeing that happen now. And it's nice to hear you recognize that it's been a factor in your time. We're close to running out of time here. Richard, let me ask you about your next big challenge, executive director of the College Football Playoff. This is exciting. What are your thoughts there? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 49:19 So, I am enormously grateful and blessed to even have this job. I still kind of don't believe it. You know, because it's such a dream job. I'm going from one dream job to another, you know, but it's funny. What I'll say is, it came out of the blue. A search firm contacted me and I had some, I had known them because I was involved in another search for the Mountain West Conference to find our commissioner. And the people that ran the search knew me just because I was on that panel and everything. And the guy calls me one day. He goes “Hey, Rich, I heard you might be retiring soon. I think you mentioned to us would you be willing to put your name in the hat for the executive director of the CFP.” I was like, “Is that a trick question?” And so, he said, “Now you're the longshot candidate.” They wanted a nontraditional candidate on the, you know — they have 15 or 20 people that they're looking at, but they wanted a nontraditional. I was like, “Yeah, I'll do it.” I said, “Can I ask though, do I really have a shot at this?” He goes, “Yeah, everybody has a shot.” I'm like, “OK, so I got a shot. Let's do this.” And I did a phone interview, then I did a Zoom interview, then it was narrowed down to three and an in-person interview. And I got the job, and I couldn't believe it. But what's really interesting, the things that they liked about me, like, they asked me some questions like, “Do you have any media…?” They go, “Do you have any media experience?” I was like, “No.” “Do you have any experience in managing college athletic teams?” “No.” You know, “Do you have any experience and revenue generation?” “No.” I, you know, and I thought, “I'm just done.” But then they started asking me leadership questions and things that any of us in the military, we would all knock them out of the park. They are things that we've all lived and done things that I learned here, you know, at the Air Force Academy. They weren't hard questions; they were things that are second nature to us. The other thing that they liked was that I played football for four years. And being a student-athlete myself, they thought that that was a big benefit. So really, it goes right back to being here at the Academy and getting that job. And now I look at the challenges that it faces, then you just talked about all the scrutiny we get here as a superintendent. Yeah, I think I'm walking right into another job where I'm going to get scrutinized. It's going to the 12-team playoff, you know, this year. Last year, you know, number five team, everybody was all mad and lost their minds. And I think the committee did it right, though. Next year, it'll just be team 13 that's going to be mad. So, I'm ready, though. I'm excited about it. Amy's excited about it. We're going to move to Dallas, which is where the headquarters is. But I still am, you know, I'm sprinting to the finish in this job. So, I don't have a lot of time to think about it. But it's nice to know that I have another great job that I'm going to be able to flow into. I feel incredibly blessed by it. And just for the opportunity to continue to contribute to student success. And to be a part of that. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 52:32 That's a really good thought. And let me just ask you to close this out, Rich. Any parting thoughts to your team here at the Academy, to the cadets and to your teammates as you move on to your second career? Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 52:50 Well, first of all, and you know this, as much as I do, you know, as the supt, you know, you're at the head of the table, right? And you're trying to provide the top cover. But it's really so that all of the amazing teammates — we have the dean of faculty, the commandant, the athletic director, the prep school, airbase wing, just across the board. You know, all of those people in the flying training group too, even though they're not AETC, there's much of this character development effort that we have. But they're the ones that get the job done. And what makes the Air Force Academy so special is that everyone is so passionate about our cadets, and trying to help them to be ready to go out and do the things that we need them to do. That's what makes us special. It's also what makes it kind of hard, though. But I will take hard when people are passionate any day, you know? They just will do this mission and they will do it, whatever it takes to make it right. And to make sure that we're giving those cadets everything they deserve. I couldn't thank them enough from all of our senior leaders right on down to the, you know, the people in the trenches working in Mitchell Hall. You know, I just love this place because of the people that make it work and that make it go to our cadets. I'll be very honest, there's people that go, “What's wrong with this generation? They don't, you know, they're not patriotic; they're not athletic.” These people don't know what on Earth they're talking about. Come spend an hour, 30 minutes, with our cadets and you'll change your mind. These are the most incredible people. They are patriotic. They want to go serve. They might be different than we were. They might be different than you know, even the classes before us. But there is no lack of patriotism and them wanting to serve and them wanting to do great things and to reach their destiny. And they are every bit as much leaders of character as anybody, this generation. They're better. They're smarter, they're more athletic, they're more in touch with their world around them. I am very happy and comfortable to leave this torch with them, to hand the torch off to them. And I'm just proud to have served with them. And then just to everyone out there, all the supporters of the Academy, and we do have a lot, I just thank them, you know, for letting us do our job at helping us do our job and supporting this Academy. So, I am leaving with a lot of gratitude in my heart, just from our cadets from our permanent party, from the alumni that helped us do this and the other supporters. It just makes me feel good about our country, you know, people still care, people still want to serve and to go do great things. And this place exemplifies that, like no other. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 55:48 Rich, that gratitude goes both ways. We're awfully proud of you, Amy, Milo, Zoë, and we just thank you for your years of service and the leadership you've exhibited here at the Academy. You left a mark, trust me, and we wish you all the well in the future as you go on about, and please stay in touch. Thank you. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 56:11 Thank you to the AOG and Foundation. And I'll say this, you know, I thank Amy because she's the one that was willing to go an extra four years because I could have retired as a three star when we started and she said, I'm in that passion from our time as commandant, she was like, “I'm in, let's do this.” And another four years wasn't easy for her. I'll be honest with you. She wants to live in her own house. She wants to… she started a new job. But she, she owned it. And she loves this Academy too. And I have to thank her and Milo and Zoë. They've just been my, that's my team. You know, I mean, in the end, you know, I thank God for them. I thank God for every opportunity. But I am just full of gratitude. So, thanks, Coach. Lt. Gen. Mike Gould 56:59 Well done. Thank you. Lt. Gen.Rich Clark, 21st superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy. Lt. Gen. Richard Clark 57:03 Thanks very much. Yeah, thank you.

In today's CRUZAMENTO Podcast, André Correia e Daniel Guedelha talked with Ron DePinho who delves into his contributions to cancer research and innovation, emphasizing the transformative potential of biotechnology in this critical field. His work is dedicated to advancing our understanding of cancer biology, enabling the development of more precise diagnostic tools and targeted therapies. Through his efforts, he aims to revolutionize the way we approach cancer treatment, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Additionally, Ron de Pinho actively engages in educating influential figures such as the President of the United States and the Pope, advocating for policies that support the advancement of biotechnology in healthcare and sustainability. His dedication to both research and advocacy solidifies his position as a leading figure in the biotech industry. Ronald A. DePinho, M.D. is currently past president and distinguished university professor of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research has focused on the fundamental mechanisms driving cancer and aging and the clinical application of such knowledge to prevent and treat disease. Dr. DePinho studied biology at Fordham University, where he graduated class salutatorian, and received his M.D. degree with distinction in microbiology and immunology from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He performed his residency and postdoctoral training at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. Dr. DePinho's independent career began at Einstein as the Feinberg Senior Faculty Scholar in Cancer Research and an ACS Research Professor. He then joined the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School where he was the founding Director of the Belfer Institute for Applied Cancer Science and a Professor of Medicine and Genetics at Harvard. As president of MD Anderson, Dr. DePinho conceived and launched the Moon Shots Program, a goal-oriented comprehensive effort designed to accelerate declines in cancer incidence and mortality. This initiative has yielded practice-changing advances in cancer and inspired the national cancer moonshot under President Biden. He also elevated MD Anderson's research and graduate programs, recruited many world class faculty including National Academy Members and its first Nobel Prize. To improve cancer care beyond MD Anderson, he launched and assembled a network of cancer institutions in 24 countries, reaching one-third of the human population. As a researcher, he has published over 400 articles, books and chapters that have advanced our understanding of cancer, aging and degenerative disorders which have led to clinical advances including new cancer drugs and diagnostics. His most notable discoveries include elucidation of the core molecular pathway for aging, determination of the basis for the intimate link between advancing age and increased epithelial cancer incidence, establishment of the central role of telomeres in cancer genome instability, discovery of Sin3 and linkage of sequence specific transcription factors and chromatin regulators, demonstration that aging itself can be reversed which led to new therapeutic strategies for aging and age-related diseases including Alzheimer's Disease. To translate these basic discoveries, he founded 9 private and publicly traded biotechnology companies and served as an advisor or director for biotech and large biopharma companies focused on oncology. His public service includes advisory and directorship roles for AACR and the NIH, as well as the Vatican and several countries. He is chairman and co-founder a non-profit, OPA Health (previously, Unite to Prevent Cancer) whose mission is disease prevention in underserved communities. As an advocate, he was a key instigator in the bipartisan bill raising the age of tobacco purchase to 21 (T21) and the bipartisan Cures Act. He is Vice Chair of the BOD for Act For NIH, a non-profit advocacy organization to garner bipartisan support for the NIH resulting in an additional $14.9B to the base budget and restoring the NIH budget following years of inflationary decline. For his fundamental contributions to cancer and aging and to healthcare, he has been recognized with numerous honors and awards. He was named one of the 100 most influential healthcare leaders, according to Modern Healthcare. His honors include the Melini Award for Biomedical Excellence, the American Society for Clinical Investigation Award, the Biomedicum Helsinki Medal, Albert Szent-Györgyi Prize, AACR Clowes Award, American-Italian Foundation Prize, among others. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Science, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association of the Advancement of Science and the American Association of Cancer Research. He received Fordham University's McMahon Memorial Award for Distinguished Public Service, honorary degrees from Harvard University and Hofstra University, and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. For his work to improve the health of Portugal's people, Dr. DePinho was recognized by its president with the highest commendation, the Order of Saint James of the Sword.

Buenas muchachada hoy os hablo de las casualidades…
Mandy and Kate chat to Claire, Pea mum of Max who lives with T21, or Down Syndrome. Claire shares her story about “being thrust into this beautiful world” of life with Max. She talks about the trauma of his diagnosis of both T21 and heart defects, and his induced birth a week later, all in the middle of COVID lockdowns. He needed heart surgery at four days of age and spent his first four months in the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne. Claire reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of this time in her life, when things were scary and challenging and unpredictable. Kate and Mandy remember Claire's speakpipe that she sent in while she was in hospital, after Claire came across our podcast in the 21 Gifts ‘welcome-to-the-world' baby suitcase for families with children with T21 - listen to the episode about it here.Claire also spoke about her work with Abbey Solo Foundation, an organisation that supports families facing childhood cancer, in honour of Angel and Warrior, Abbey Solo.

This week in golf sees the chat start with golf Twitter. It can be a space for good dialogue and toxic dialogue. When the discussion of Golf and the rise of LIV Golf is concerned. We discuss the often-discussed Twitter debate about OWGR and the fact that the LIV Golfers are still without a system to award OWGR points. We have a robust discussion and it's fair to say we both see things differently. We chat about all this week's golf hot takes which obviously include PGAT and LIV. We shout out Hannah Green on her win in the LPGA Tour and a shout out to David Micheluzzi on his T21 finish at his DPWT start last week in Korea.

En su reposo. 05/09/2022. T21. E10. "Porque Mardoqueo el judío fue el segundo después del rey Asuero, y grande entre los judíos, y estimado por la multitud de sus hermanos, porque procuró el bienestar de su pueblo y habló paz para todo su linaje". Ester 10:3 Grandeza La historia de Ester y Mardoqueo está fuertemente ligada. La llegada de Ester a la posición de reina, su valentía para enfrentar el momento de crisis, y la forma gloriosa en que alcanzó la victoria, todo tuvo como resultada la grandeza de este par de judíos que marcaron la historia del mundo y de su pueblo. ¿Quién no desearía alcanzar esta grandeza? Pero la grandeza en la Biblia, no siempre concuerda con las ideas de grandeza del mundo. El versículo que nos ocupa revela cuatro motivos para la grandeza de Mardoqueo, que bien pudieran ser un ejemplo para cualquiera que anhela este tipo de notoriedad en el mundo. La grandeza de un título que no se buscó Hay muchos que darían cualquier cosa por ser el segundo después del rey. Pero aunque Mardoqueo alcanzó esta posición, algo es claro en todo el libro de Ester, él jamás buscó esta posición. Y es que, por increíble que parezca, esta es una característica de la grandeza. Los que anhelan las posiciones de gloria, son los que menos las merecen; y por el contrario, los que no las buscan, son los mejor capacitados moralmente para alcanzar y ejercer la grandeza. La grandeza de la estima que no compró Además, Mardoqueo fue grande porque tuvo la estima de todos sus hermanos; pero un vistazo rápido a todo el libro nos mostrará que Mardoqueo no compró con promesas, convenios políticos o beneficios especiales dicha estima. Era natural, espontánea y genuina; las personas lo apreciaban de verdad y esta es la mayor gloria que un hombre puede alcanzar, ser apreciado por ser quien es y no por lo que aparenta o por lo que ofrece por debajo de la mesa. La grandeza del servicio a otros El primo de Ester llegó a ser grande por un principio que recorre la Biblia de pasta a pasta: el servicio. La grandeza está en el servicio, y hasta que no sea entendido y aplicado este concepto, muchos podrán creer que son grandes, pero la historia los colocará en su verdadero lugar tarde o temprano. Mardoqueo procuró el bien de otros, y en su esfuerzo sincero de ayudar a los demás, encontró el reconocimiento de propios y extraños, y fueron ellos quienes colocaron su nombre con letras de oro en la historia de Israel y le dieron su lugar de grandeza . La grandeza de la búsqueda de la paz Por último, la grandeza del segundo hombre detras del rey, no ocurrió en base a la fortuna o a su buena suerte, sino a su compromiso con los valores que estaban arraigados en su corazón; entre ellos, la búsqueda de la paz para los suyos. Su esfuerzo por la paz fue visto por todos, y es de esta lucha por la tranquilidad de las personas a quienes servía de donde surge la grandeza de Mardoqueo. En pocas palabras, la grandeza no se busca, no se planea, no se puede programar ni provocar. La grandeza surge espontánea, involuntaria para quien la recibe, y en muchas ocasiones, como algo que no solo no se busca, sino que se intenta rechazar. Ni siquiera debería ser algo que consideremos como una opción. Nuestro deber es servir con pasión, buscar el bienestar de los demás, sin vanagloriarnos en nuestros éxitos y sin anhelar el reconocimiento de quienes nos ven. La grandeza ni se busca ni se provoca, la grandeza incluso, si llegase a nuestras vidas, habrá de rendirse ante quien es Grande entre los grandes, Rey de los reyes y Señor de los señores. Nuestra grandeza es basura ante la gloria incomparable de Jesucristo, quien es el único que merece honor y adoración por los siglos de los siglos. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 03/09/2022. T21. E9. "Como días en que los judíos tuvieron paz de sus enemigos, y como el mes que de tristeza se les cambió en alegría, y de luto en día bueno; que los hiciesen días de banquete y de gozo, y para enviar porciones cada uno a su vecino, y dádivas a los pobres". Ester 9:22 Fiesta Las victorias que más se disfrutan son aquellas que más se sufre para lograr. Habían sido días en desasosiego, incertidumbre y temor. La muerte se mecía sobre cada judío, y no parecía haber camino de esperanza o salvación para la nación. Lo único que podían esperar era la destrucción, sufrimiento y dolor. Y de repente, de la nada, sin siquiera haberlo sospechado o imaginado, mucho menos planeado o programado, las cosas comenzaron a girar a su favor. Se descubre que la reina es judía; el que había planeado la erradicación del pueblo muere, y su lugar lo ocupa un judío; además, sabio y prudente; y ´para colmo de bienes el edicto nuevo les da una esperanza. Así que el día que antes estaba marcado para ser un día de dolor y muerte, se convirtió en un día de victoria. Aquella fecha que al pensar en ella les generaba tristeza, ahora traería alegría al corazón. La suerte echada para que sus enemigos se apoderaran de ellos, ahora solo produjo paz y seguridad a todos los judíos del imperio. Los pensamientos de luto que los atormentaba conforme se acercaba la fecha, fueron cambiados por un día bueno, placentero y lleno de dicha. Gozo, felicidad, generosidad, unidad, todo lo que ni siquiera soñaban emergió de la nada por la gracia divina que los protegió del mal y los llevó a un tiempo de victoria sin igual. Y es que no podía ser para menos, vieron la muerte tan de cerca, que experimentar la salvación los llevó a una explosión de júbilo incomparable. Solo aquellos que han vivido un momento así, cuando, conscientes del pecado y del castigo eterno que vendría como consecuencia del mismo, encuentran de la nada, un puente de esperanza, una mano salvadora, una cruz que se yergue a su favor. Cuando somos perdonados, limpiados, salvados, restaurados, sólo entonces podemos dimensionar el gozo de tan espectacular día; y únicamente así es posible entender la dicha que embarga los corazones que se saben rescatados de la muerte y colocados sin merecerlo en la vida que solo Jesucristo puede darnos. Hemos sido librados de la condenación de muerte que se levantaba sobre nosotros. La sentencia ha sido borrada, el perdón ha llegado, la salvación nos ha alcanzado. ¿Existe acaso mejor razón que esta para hacer fiesta en el corazón? Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 02/09/2022. T21. E8. "Escribid, pues, vosotros a los judíos como bien os pareciere, en nombre del rey, y selladlo con el anillo del rey; porque un edicto que se escribe en nombre del rey, y se sella con el anillo del rey, no puede ser revocado". Ester 8:8 Encrucijada legal ¿Qué se puede hacer cuando una orden no puede cambiarse? La situación de peligro de muerte, aunque mengüó con la muerte de Amán, no había desaparecido del todo. Esto debido a que las leyes persas tenían una característica curiosa: eran irrevocables; es decir, una vez firmada y sellada por el anillo del rey, no había forma de modificar, mucho menos de eliminar una ley. Así que aunque el rey mismo deseara eliminar la ley que autorizaba atacar y matar a los judíos en todo el imperio, era imposible. El predicamento, que no era menor, encontró solución en la libertad que el rey le dio a Mardoqueo para actuar según considerara la mejor opción, y en la sabiduría que el nuevo hombre de confianza del rey aplicó a esta terrible situación. El rey percibió que Mardoqueo podía encontrar la solución a la encrucijada que tenían enfrente y le dio total libertad de acción. El liderazgo no siempre consiste en generar las ideas, sino en saber desarrollar la confianza en el equipo de trabajo para que encuentre ideas útiles a las situaciones que se enfrentan. Mardoqueo por su parte, supo corresponder a la confianza encontrando el camino para resarcir el daño causado por la primera ley, sin quebrantarla. SI no era posible cancelar el ataque, si era factible mostrar el apoyo del imperio a los judíos al ofrecerles la opción de defenderse y contraatacar. Esta nueva ley crearía el efecto de reconsideracion en aquellos que hubieran pensado en atacar a los judíos, ya que mostraba el apoyo del rey a los judíos; por no decir que el nuevo segundo hombre del imperio, y la reina misma eran judíos. Cualquiera lo pensaría dos veces antes de intentar atacar a los judíos. Otro efecto positivo, aunque secundario, fue la paz y alegría que trajo esta nueva ley a la nación judía. Después de la angustia de la primera ley, ahora sentían que las cosas podían cambiar a su favor. El daño de la primera ley pudo resarcirse con la habillidad y sabiduría que Dios proveyó a Mardoqueo, y aún puede otorgar a sus hijos hoy en día. Los daños aparentemente irreversibles que causan los errores, las malas decisiones o hechos imprudentes; incluso los que con maldad son planeados y ejecutados contra el inocente, encuentran en la sabiduría provista por Dios, caminos para resarcir, corregir y encausar las condiciones para bien del pueblo de Dios. Que los corazones angustiados encuentren en las buenas nuevas del evangelio, paz, gozo y alegría. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 01/09/2022. T21. E7. "Y dijo Harbona, uno de los eunucos que servían al rey: He aquí en casa de Amán la horca de cincuenta codos de altura que hizo Amán para Mardoqueo, el cual había hablado bien por el rey. Entonces el rey dijo: Colgadlo en ella". Ester 7:9 Justicia irónica Los planes de la reina Ester no pudieron salir mejor. La estrategia de acercarse al rey funcionó muy bien, pues el rey estaba desde el primer banquete dispuesto a concederle su petición. Alargar la presentación de su solicitud, solo ayudó a generar más expectativa y deseo por parte del rey. Pero al escuchar la petición de su reina, el corazón se le turbó. Nunca esperó semejante solicitud. Ni siquiera tenía idea del riesgo que corría su reina y el motivo de sus temores. Mucho menos pensó que la petición de Amán tuviese que ver con el exterminio de un pueblo entero y además valioso para su reino, empezando porque la reina pertenecía a dicha nacionalidad. Solo hasta entonces pudo ver la maldad del corazón de aquel hombre en quien confiaba ciegamente. Por otro lado, Amán quedó totalmente sorprendido ante la noticia de que la mismísima reina Ester era judía. Sin pensarlo, él solo empeoró su situación cuando rogaba por su vida en el lecho de Ester. La sentencia de muerte ni siquiera fue necesario dictarla como tal, una cobertura sobre su cabeza señaló su inevitable final. Pero este final le reservaba una sorpresa más a este soberbio agagueo. Apenas unos días atrás disfrutaba viendo como se erguía la horca de 52 codos que preparó para Mardoqueo. Fue el banquete con la sonrisa entre sus labios imaginando que pronto vería colgando de ella a aquel insufrible hombre que no le rendía pleitesía. Pero ahora, es él quien camina hacia ella, y es él quien le dará uso de una manera que ni siquiera pudo sospechar aquella mañana. Lo que planeó para la muerte de otro, se convirtió en su lugar de castigo. El instrumento del mal con que pretendía dañar al primo de la reina, se convitrió en el instrumento de la justicia para castigar su maldad. Y justo así, sin más que añadir, es como Dios puede y quiere defender a los suyos, usando aquello que fue preparado en su contra, para castigar al que intenta dañar a su pueblo, a sus hijos. Esta es nuestra esperanza, nuestra certeza, nuestra fe. Caminamos sin temor al por venir, a los Amanes que levantan horcas en nuestra contra, pues arrojados en las manos del Todopoeroso, sabemos que toda arma forjada en contra de un hijo de Dios será infructuosa. Vivamos en la certidumbre de esta poderosa verdad. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 31/08/2022. T21. E6. "Contó luego Amán a Zeres su mujer y a todos sus amigos, todo lo que le había acontecido. Entonces le dijeron sus sabios, y Zeres su mujer: Si de la descendencia de los judíos es ese Mardoqueo delante de quien has comenzado a caer, no lo vencerás, sino que caerás por cierto delante de él". Ester 6:13 Descendencia victoriosa Amán sabía que Mardoqueo era judío. De hecho, las cartas que mandó en nombre del rey a todo el imperio claramente señalaban que era esta nación la que debía ser destruída. Pero aquel perverso hombre no se había percatado de lo que ser judío representaba. La actitud de Mardoqueo a la puerta del rey, aparentemente pasiva o por lo menos para Amán, lo hizo creer que su linaje era inferior o de poco valor. Pensó que sería fácil eliminarlo y de esa manera mostrar su poderío y autoridad dentro del reino. Qué poco sabía Amán sobre ser judío. Y qué poco sabe el mundo sobre ser un hijo de Dios. Le resulta fácil a los demás demeritar, menoscabar e incluso hasta despreciar el linaje espiritual del creyente, pero en ocasiones el creyente mismo es el que olvida quién es y cuál es su estirpe. Mardoqueo no lo sabía en ese momento, pero quizá cuando ayudó al rey contra sus enemigos se decepcionó de no recibir la honra que pudo pensar que merecía. Sin embargo, su actitud no fue la de recriminar o exigir el reconocimiento. Qué buen ejemplo para todos los hijos del cielo. Incluso, es probable que no entendiera todo lo que ocurrió cuando aquel que lo odiaba tuvo que honrarlo por orden del rey, pero tampoco lo vemos llenándose de soberbia ante el premio recibido. Doble ejemplo para todos, pues no se trata tampoco de enaltecernos por el don inmerecido de la patria celestial. Ni Amán ni Mardoqueo entendían del todo lo que pasaba, pero algo era seguro, y los sabios, amigos y familia de Amán lo descubrieron demasiado tarde. Todo eso ocurrió porque Mardoqueo era judío. No porque él tuviera algo especial por sí mismo, y mucho menos por su habilidad y fuerza política o económica, si la hubiera tenido. No, todo lo que estaba pasando tenía una sola explicación: Mardoqueo era judío. Y ser judío significaba tener de su lado al Dios de los judíos. Cuando reaccionaron, solo quedaba reconocer que sería imposible vencer a ese Dios, y por lo tanto a Mardoqueo mismo. Tal verdad todavía es aplicable a los hijos de Dios de este y de cualquier tiempo y lugar. No somos mejores ni peores, no tenemos nada de que avergonzarnos, pero tampoco tenemos algo de que enaltecernos. La única diferencia es que tenemos a Dios, somos sus hijos, somos suyos, y nada ni nadie será capaz de dañar aquello que está en las manos de Dios. Vivamos cada día con la certeza de esta gran verdad impregnada en nuestra alma y corazón. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 30/08/2022. T21. E5. "Y cuando vio a la reina Ester que estaba en el patio, ella obtuvo gracia ante sus ojos; y el rey extendió a Ester el cetro de oro que tenía en la mano. Entonces vino Ester y tocó la punta del cetro". Ester 5:2 Gracia real, gracia divina El peligro de muerte al que se acercaba Ester entrando al palacio del rey sin ser invitada, quedó eliminado cuando obtuvo gracia ante los ojos del rey. Era una orden real, que toda persona que entrara sin ser invitada fuera condenada inmediatamente a la muerte. La única forma de evitar ese destino era que el mismo rey le perdonara la vida. Que impresionante paralelo con la justicia y misericordia divina. Es la santidad y justicia de Dios la que impiden que el ser humano, lleno de pecado, pueda entrar a su presencia. Nadie en tales condiciones tiene siquiera la más mínima oportunidad de entrar a su gloria; pero lo que es imposible lograr a causa de su justicia, encuentra una oportunidad en su gracia. La gracia de Dios es la que permite que el hombre pueda entrar a su presencia, pues encuentra la forma de satisfacer la justicia de Dios. ¿Cómo evitar que una persona que el rey amaba muriera al entrar a su presencia sin invitación? En la ley persa se creó un recurso legal que ayudara en ese tema. El rey, si quería salvar al "intruso" debía extender su cetro de oro a favor de quien se arriesgaba a buscarlo sin invitación. De la misma manera, la gracia divina encontró la forma de dar una oportunidad al hombre para reconciliarse con Dios. El Señor extendió al hombre su mano y envió a su Hijo Jesucristo a morir en la cruz del Calvario para satisfacer su justicia divina y abrir un camino para el perdon de los pecados. El símil con la historia de Ester es tan exacto que incluso, el detalle de Ester tocando el cetro de Asuero, nos muestra que si bien, Asuero extendía el cetro a su favor, ella debía tocarlo para completar legalmente su salvación de la muerte por entrar sin permiso a su presencia. Y con ello nos demuestra que aunque la gracia divina ha sido ya extendida a favor de toda la humanidad, el ser humano debe hacer suya esta salvación de manera personal, acercándose a Dios y recibiendo la gracia del perdon por medio de Jesucristo. Cuán grande es el amor de Dios que nos amó a pesar de nuestro pecado y buscó una manera de salvarnos de la muerte eterna. En aquel caso era tocando el cetro, en Cristo es la fe y el arrepentimiento sincero lo que nos lleve a ser receptores de este perdón divino. Es el anhelo de su corazón que cada hombre y mujer se acerquen a él y reciban voluntariamente este perdón producto de su gracia divina. Recibámoslo, cuidémoslo, y prediquemos esta gran verdad al mundo. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 29/08/2022. T21. E4. “Ve y reúne a todos los judíos que se hallan en Susa, y ayunad por mí, y no comáis ni bebáis en tres días, noche y día; yo también con mis doncellas ayunaré igualmente, y entonces entraré a ver al rey, aunque no sea conforme a la ley; y si perezco, que perezca. Ester 4:16 Compromiso mortal Nadie puede afirmar que es fácil hacer un compromiso. Los compromisos implican obligaciones y consecuencias. En el caso de la reina Ester la noticia de los malévolos planes de Amán llegaron hasta sus oídos con el clamor de ayuda por parte de Mardoqueo. Pero lo que su primo le pedía requería un nivel de compromiso superior. De asumir el reto, se vería obligada a arriesgarlo todo en una jugada cuya consecuencia no sería banal. El compromiso que se le pedía que tomara pondría en riesgo no sólo su reputación o su corona, sino su vida misma. ¿Estaría dispuesta a tal nivel de compromiso? ¿Qué tan comprometidos estamos nosotros como hijos de Dios? ¿Asumimos las obligaciones que hemos adquirido al comprometernos a ser hijos de Dios? ¿Estamos conscientes de las posibles consecuencias del compromiso que hemos tomado de la mano de Dios? Después de un momento de titubeo, Ester tomó en sus manos la responsabilidad, asumió el compromiso y estuvo dispuesta a todo. Pero ni ella ni nadie necesita ir sola a semejantes niveles de riesgos. La búsqueda propia de Dios y la intercesión de otros a nuestro favor, tal como lo hizo y solicitó esta sabia y atrevida reina, tienen en sí mismas una fuente de poder inagotable para afrontar todo lo que viene en nuestra contra. Dispuesta a morir si era necesario, se puso en las manos de Dios, pero también de Mardoqueo y de todos los judíos de la capital para clamar por gracia y misericordia ante los peligros que enfrentaba. Igualmente, cuando los compromisos adquiridos como hijos de Dios pongan en peligro incluso nuestra vida, la oración y el ayuno propio, así como el de otros a nuestro favor, sigue siendo un método infalible para superar las adversidades. El Señor nos ayude para no olvidar esta gran verdad. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 27/08/2022. T21. E3. "Aconteció que hablándole cada día de esta manera, y no escuchándolos él, lo denunciaron a Amán, para ver si Mardoqueo se mantendría firme en su dicho; porque ya él les había declarado que era judío". Ester 3:4 Porque soy judío El momento de mayor crisis en la vida de Mardoqueo pudo ser aquel en que se vio en una encrucijada. El orgullo y vanidad de Amán no tenía límites, y su obsesión por el reconocimiento y veneración podía llegar al grado de poner la vida de Mardoqueo en peligro, tal y como efectivamente ocurrió. ¿Qué debía hacer Mardoqueo? ¿Salvaguardar su vida con un simple gesto de inclinación?, ¿o mantener íntegra su devoción a Dios? La respuesta de Mardoqueo no aparece textualmente en la Biblia, pero puede deducirse por la expresión: "ya les había declarado que era judío". ¿Por qué no te arrodillas ante Amán? ¿Por qué no cumples la orden del rey? "Porque soy judío". Esa parecía la escueta respuesta de Mardoqueo que llevó a los demás siervos a denunciarlo ante Amán. Y es que no había necesidad de mayor explicación. No era necesario perder el tiempo dando argumentos o razones culturales, históricas o teológicas. "Soy judío, y eso es suficiente para permanecer firme en mi decisión", decisión que igualmente parece no haber sido tan difícil para el primo de la reina Ester. Para él la encrucijada no le causó ninguna incertidumbre, no hubo ni un rastro de duda en su corazón. No era negociable ni cuestionable. SImplemente era algo fuera de toda posibilidad el arrodillarse o inclinarse ante un hombre, porque era judío y nada más. Tal entereza es ejemplo para todas las generaciones, de judíos y de seguidores de Jesús. Ante las disyuntivas que el mundo nos presente y los riesgos que implique sostener nuestra fe, debería ser incuestionable la postura de los hijos de Dios. La única respuesta que habría que ofrecer ante quienes amenazan nuestra convicción, y esperan que quebrantemos nuestra obediencia a Dios para satisfacer las leyes humanas, firme e inquebrantable, así como simple y poderosa ha de ser: "No, porque soy un hijo de Dios". Sin necesidad de mayores razones o excusas. Como hijos de Dios tenemos claros los fundamentos de nuestra fe y no están en debate o negociación. Él es nuestro Señor, nuestro Dios y Salvador, su gracia nos ha salvado y jamás nos avergonozaremos de él, venga lo que venga. Aprendamos a desarrollar esta clase de fe ante la adversidad. Crezcamos a tal grado que sea inamovible nuestra convicción, y permanezcamos firmes sin importar las consecuencias que puedan cernirse sobre nuestras cabezas, y cuando alguien nos pregunte ¿por qué?, respondamos: Porque soy un seguidor de Jesús. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 26/08/2022. T21. E2. "Y la doncella agradó a sus ojos, y halló gracia delante de él, por lo que hizo darle prontamente atavíos y alimentos, y le dio también siete doncellas especiales de la casa del rey; y la llevó con sus doncellas a lo mejor de la casa de las mujeres". Ester 2:9 Gracia Dos veces en el capítulo aparece la expresión: "halló gracia" (2:9,17), y en una ocasión más utiliza una declaración equivalente: "ganaba . . . el favor de todos" (v. 15). Y es que en este contexto, hallar gracia es la capacidad de generar la aceptación y aprecio de quienes rodean la persona; y esto a su vez trae como resultado la disposición de ayudar a la persona que logra este nivel de aceptación. Ester halló gracia ante el eunuco encargado de las jóvenes seleccionadas, ante todos los involucrados en el proceso de selección, y finalmente ante el mismísimo rey Asuero. La guía de su primo Mardoqueo, quien la había criado desde la muerte de sus padres, y la prudencia con la que se condujo durante todo el proceso, fueron claves para que ella lograra esta reacción en quienes la conocían. Aunque Ester era hermosa físicamente, su mayor valor fue la capacidad de ganarse el favor de todos con la actitud correcta en cada momento. Los beneficios que Ester recibió con la gracia que encontró ante las personas, van desde la forma en que recibió el apoyo del eunuco y la forma en que este le proveyó de todo lo necesario, favoreciéndola por encima de la mayoría de las doncellas que fueron llevadas bajo su cuidado. La forma en que todos la miraban, hablaban de ella, hasta el grado de admiración que provocó en el rey, quien fue benevolente con ella y no dudo en hacerla inmediatamente su reina. Todo eso fue resultado de la gracia que encontró a su paso. Cuán importante es hallar gracia ante los demás. Primeramente ante Dios, quien puede darnos aquello que no merecemos, su amor, su cuidado, su salvación, solo por el puro afecto de su voluntad. Pero es casi igual de importante que los hijos de Dios hallen gracia ante el mundo y buena voluntad de quienes los rodean. Para hallar esa gracia, habrá que conducirnos con la prudencia, discreción, sabiduría e intelgiencia de Ester. Pero hay otro factor implícito en la gracia que Ester encontró ante las personas. De manera sutil es posible observar a Dios trabajando en esta parte del camino de la vida de Ester. Él tiene un propósito y anhela que Ester sea parte de su plan para la nación judía. Sin saberlo todavía, aquella joven, y cualquiera que esté dispuesto a hacer su parte para hallar gracia ante los demás, estará allanando el sendero para que la voluntad de Dios pueda cumplirse en su vida. El Señor nos ayude a encontrar gracia para llegar a donde él quiere colocarnos y así bendecir su obra y traer gloria a su nombre. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz
En su reposo. 25/08/2022. T21. E1. “Pues envió cartas a todas las provincias del rey, a cada provincia conforme a su escritura, y a cada pueblo conforme a su lenguaje, diciendo que todo hombre afirmase su autoridad en su casa; y que se publicase esto en la lengua de su pueblo”. Ester 1:22 Comunicación efectiva Tres momentos nos ofrece este capítulo sobre la importancia de la comunicación efectiva. La mala comunicación entre Asuero y Vasti, provocada quizá por la ebriedad y machismo del primero y la fuerte autoestima de la reina, al final provocaron su separación. Nada bueno o sabio produce el alcohol, y nada prudente surge de las decisiones precipitadas por el orgullo. El ejemplo aplica para la vida matrimonial por supuesto, pero también para cualquier otra relación de vida donde es importante comunicarse con sobriedad y humildad. El segundo ejemplo nos lo otorga la forma en que Asuero busca el consejo de sus príncipes. En ningún momento se intentó resolver el problema de la no asistencia de la reina Vasti; o por lo menos conocer los argumentos o razones de su negativa. Se concentraron en “el problema de su desobediencia” únicamente. La comunicación no será efectiva si lo único que buscamos es la satisfacción de nuestros intereses o conveniencias. La comunicación requiere comprensión, empatía, y disposición para llegar a acuerdos que permitan corregir los errores, continuar y fortalecer la relación. Por último, y quizá un ejemplo positivo de la comunicación efectiva, es el hecho de que la resolución, a todas luces, coercitiva y autoritaria, fue entregada en el idioma de cada pueblo a donde fue enviada. Comunicar no es solo expresar lo que se piensa sobre algo, sino asegurarnos de que los receptores del mensaje han entendido lo que se les quiere decir. Muchas veces el error de la comunicación consiste en que se dice una cosa y se entiende otra, lo que puede evitarse si el emisor se expresa de forma clara, sencilla y directa; asegurándose de que está siendo captado correctamente su mensaje. En el caso del comunicado real, este tuvo que ser traducido a cada idioma y luego transportado y colocado o leído en lugares accesibles para que todo el reino estuviese enterado de la decisión tomada. En el matrimonio, en la familia, en el trabajo, la escuela; y por supuesto, en la vida de la iglesia, es fundamental que la buena comunicación sea una prioridad del creyente. Crezcamos en ello y honremos así a nuestro bendito Salvador. Isaí Rodríguez Ruiz

Mariana Perepitchka, Yekaterina Galat, and Dr. Vasiliy Galat discuss their 2020 research paper published by Oncotarget, entitled, "Down syndrome iPSC model: endothelial perspective on tumor development." DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.27712 Correspondence to - Mariana Perepitchka - mperepitchka@u.northwestern.edu, Yekaterina Galat - ygalat@luriechildrens.org, and Vasiliy Galat - v-galat@northwestern.edu Abstract Trisomy 21 (T21), known as Down syndrome (DS), is a widely studied chromosomal abnormality. Previous studies have shown that DS individuals have a unique cancer profile. While exhibiting low solid tumor prevalence, DS patients are at risk for hematologic cancers, such as acute megakaryocytic leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We speculated that endothelial cells are active players in this clinical background. To this end, we hypothesized that impaired DS endothelial development and functionality, impacted by genome-wide T21 alterations, potentially results in a suboptimal endothelial microenvironment with the capability to prevent solid tumor growth. To test this hypothesis, we assessed molecular and phenotypic differences of endothelial cells differentiated from Down syndrome and euploid iPS cells. Microarray, RNA-Seq, and bioinformatic analyses revealed that most significantly expressed genes belong to angiogenic, cytoskeletal rearrangement, extracellular matrix remodeling, and inflammatory pathways. Interestingly, the majority of these genes are not located on Chromosome 21. To substantiate these findings, we carried out functional assays. The obtained phenotypic results correlated with the molecular data and showed that Down syndrome endothelial cells exhibit decreased proliferation, reduced migration, and a weak TNF-α inflammatory response. Based on this data, we provide a set of genes potentially associated with Down syndrome's elevated leukemic incidence and its unfavorable solid tumor microenvironment—highlighting the potential use of these genes as therapeutic targets in translational cancer research.

European Tour player, and all round Irish gentleman Niall Kearney joined Jonny on the podcast this week to discuss his journey from elite amateur golf, mixing it with the likes of Rory & Shane to turning professional and all of the trials and tribulations tour life brings. From not being ready for the Challenge Tour to competing on the Asian Tour, signing for the incorrect score at the Philippines to securing some eligibility on the European Tour. COVID has actually allowed Niall more starts on Tour this year, with players dropping out of events, so Niall is making the most of his opportunities, with T21 & T4 at Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands respectively and then a T12 at the BMW International Open and T8 at the Hero Open, Niall is chasing improved status on the Race to Dubai.

In this episode we cover: - T21 / Down Syndrome Diagnosis during pregnant- Hospital birth - Epidural - Heart condition- Heart Surgery - Support networks I am so grateful Tamarah was willing to come on the podcast and share her story with us, if you'd like to find her and her beautiful family online you can do that @tamarah.whittaker
This week's episode is dedicated to Project Twenty21, the UK medical cannabis registry collecting data on safety and efficacy, while offering the participants subsidised medical cannabis prescriptions.I speak to Anne Katrin Schlag, Head of Research at Drug Science, and overseeing the research side of T21. She explains how the project came about, what it aims to achieve, and what benefits there are for patients. She also discusses some promising preliminary findings from T21 shared in a peer reviewed paper published earlier this year. To get the patient's perspective I speak to Claire Bywalec, who developed fibromyalgia after a riding accident as a child. Claire explains not only how cannabis has transformed her life, but also the process of onboarding with T21 and how it's worked for her.For more information about getting involved with Project Twenty21, head to https://www.drugscience.org.uk/project-twenty21/Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/marybiles71)

No existe la pareja perfecta y eso traduce que es completamente normal tener discrepancias y aún más en el transcurso de la crianza de los hijos. Podemos no estar de acuerdo, pero estas diferencias en los estilos de crianza no deben ser motivo de para entrar en "modo de guerra campal". ¿Que podemos hacer para saber negociar? Ademas evitar llegar al enojo sin causar daño y afrontar esta diversidad de opiniones de una manera más asertiva. Aquí conversaremos con la psicóloga Lucia Sguerra, experta en temas comunitarios, sociales y familiares; porque sabemos que no hay un manual de crianza, pero en este episodio hablamos un poco de como llegar a esos acuerdos tan importantes para la salud familiar. Gracias a Lucia por estar siempre dispuesta para #haciendotribupro y una vez más compartir tu conocimiento con la tribu T21. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/samtri21-crowell/support

Practice Bulletins #226 - Published October 2020 1. Cell-free DNA screening has the best sensitivity and specificity of all screening methods. But before you order it, it's best to get a prenatal ultrasound 2. Best non-cell-free screening modality is the sequential integrated serum screen (1st-tri serum + NT ultrasound + 2nd-tri serum) 3. Formal anatomy survey should be offered at 18 - 22 wga; can identify soft markers for T21 and T18 4. Prenatal genetic screening should be offered to all pregnant women regardless of risk profile 5. Anything that doesn't add up, it's best to just refer to a genetics counselor or even your friendly MFM for clarification.

I had a bad relationship with my body and food since 13/14 years old and I don't want to pass this on to my children, don't want them thinking there are things we shouldn't be eating. I don't want them to grow up and have the same bad relationship with food and bad body image as I had." Sara had tried literally everything under the sun. Weight Watchers, Slimming World, fasting, shakes, meal replacements, ANYTHING. They always failed - I would lose the weight and it would always go back on again. "I'm not thinking negatively about myself anymore, I'm looking back at how far I've come - it's been a game changer. I have yo-yoed for so long, but this time I've lost the weight and that's something to be proud of. I've had more energy, my sleep has improved with routine and we wake up refreshed as a family now. The main thing that's changed is that I'm not constantly thinking about food in a bad way like what I can be having next etc. I've become a lot better at planning, thank you to T21, which I always thought would be harder work than it has been. Knowing that I'm eating good food that's good for my body, and fuelling my body for everyday life. I'm exercising not with the view of working off the chocolate bar I've just eaten, but I know that it makes me feel better and it'll do me good as a person. It's not just to balance my diet out it's for my own mental health. The support you provide is a massive thing, you've got a good way of putting things across. I'm not thinking negatively about myself anymore, I'm looking back at how far I've come - it's been a game changer. I have yo-yoed for so long, but this time I've lost the weight and that's something to be proud of. I've had more energy, my sleep has improved with routine and we wake up refreshed as a family now."

Un nom de collectif tiré d'une track de T21, des soirées au line up qu'on n'imaginait plus dans des clubs parisiens. Une envie de rendre aux musiques électroniques une place qu'elles perdent parfois en 2015, soit faire venir deux des DJs les plus excitants de ces dernières années dans un endroit insolite, tels Mick Wills et Traxx, mentors et fers de lance d'une musique qui use des rafales Indus/Ebm/Wave/House, voici La Fête Triste. Ici à Sandwich Triangle, recevoir ces activistes de la fête différente pour leur prochaine soirée au Batofar était une nécessité. D'abord parce que le line up est une nouvelle fois de haute volée, et parce que le feu Jan Melnick derrière les platines sait voyager entre les barrières et les années. Jan Melnick l'un des hommes à mixer de La Fête Triste, nous montrera en deux heures une partie de sa collection. Ne vous y trompez pas, classer la FT dans un énième groupuscule wave serait un grave erreur. Ces personnes tiennent une passion et un érudisme certain pour les quatre décennies de musiques électroniques que nous avons tous derrière nous. Jugez par vous-mêmes le 24/01/2014 à 22h00 sur le 93.9FM ou sur le player du site puis le 30/01/14 au 11 quai François Mauriac. PS : Femminielli, la moitié de Femminielli Noir, était sur Radio Campus Paris il y a peu chez nos amis de Ice FM. Quant à d é m é t e r, elles feront leur première grande scène parisienne, elles étaient avec nous au début de la saison. Fourmi et PP Riposte ne pouvaient, comme on vous le répète, qu'être derrière cette soirée.
