Send us a text2 Tessalonisense 3:3 Maar die Here is getrou! Hy sal julle sterk maak en van die Bose bewaar. (NLV) Dit is maklik om so baie dinge as vanselfsprekend te aanvaar. Neem byvoorbeeld jou vyf sintuie – reuk, smaak, sig, tas en gehoor. Stel jou voor as jy een daarvan verloor het. Of beter nog: stel jou voor dat jy twee daarvan verloor het - kom ons sê: sig en gehoor. Ewe skielik is jy blind en doof. Hoe sal jou lewe dan wees?Helen Keller is op 27 Junie 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, gebore. Op 19 maande het sy 'n siekte opgedoen wat haar doof en blind gelaat het. Maar met die hulp van haar toegewyde onderwyser, Anne Sullivan, het Helen geleer om met gebaretaal te kommunikeer en later ook om te lees en te skryf.Sy het in 1904 aan die Radcliffe College gegradueer en die eerste gesig- en gehoorgestremde persoon geword wat 'n BA-graad verwerf het. Hierna het Helen 'n bekende skrywer en dosent geword. Sy was ook ‘n aktivis vir mense met gestremdhede, vroue se stemreg en werkersregte.Wonderlik, nè? Maar sonder Anne Sullivan, sonder haar toewyding aan Helen, haar opofferings, haar getrouheid … sou niks daarvan ooit moontlik gewees het nie. Jy sien nie deesdae baie dikwels sulke onbaatsugtige optrede nie, sien jy?2 Tessalonisense 3:3 Maar die Here is getrou! Hy sal julle sterk maak en van die Bose bewaar. (NLV)Nouja, as ons dink dat Anne Sullivan se onselfsugtige diens ongelooflik was, is God se getrouheid baie groter as enigiets wat enige mens ooit vir jou kán, of sál doen. Hy het dit bewys, toe Hy aan die kruis gesterf het; toe Hy sy lewe vir jou gegee het.Hy is lief vir jou. Hy het die pad vir jou voorberei. Hy is elke tree van die pad met jou.Omdat God getrou is, sal Hy julle geloof versterk en julle ook teen die Bose se aanvalle beskerm.Dis Sy Woord. Vars … vir jou … vandag. Support the showEnjoying The Content?For the price of a cup of coffee each month, you can enable Christianityworks to reach 10,000+ people with a message about the love of Jesus!DONATE R50 MONTHLY

In this podcast episode, we dive deep into the different compositions of motorcycle brake pads.  We discuss the pros and cons of organic, semi-sintered, and sintered brake pads.  What does sinter mean?  We're glad you asked.  Sintering is the process of forming a solid mass of material through heat and pressure without melting to the point of liquefaction. This process involves the atoms in materials diffusing across the particle boundaries and fusing together into one piece.  In simple terms, it is combining different materials, usually but not always metals.  We give our opinions on which option is the best.   SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Organic brake pads are made primarily from non-metallic materials, such as rubber, glass, resin, carbon, and Kevlar fibers. These materials are bound together with a high-temperature resin, creating a compound that provides effective braking performance while remaining quieter and less harsh on the brake rotors than metallic pads. Organic brake pads are often chosen for everyday driving because they are quieter and offer a smoother feel. However, for high-performance or heavy-duty applications (like racing or towing), other materials like semi-metallic or ceramic may be better options due to their greater durability and resistance to heat. Get your brake pads from the Law Abiding Biker Store: BRAKE PADS Semi-sintered brake pads are a hybrid type of brake pad that combines the characteristics of both organic and sintered (metallic) brake pads. These pads contain a mix of organic materials and metallic particles (usually copper or steel) that are bonded under high pressure and heat. This blend creates a balanced pad that offers a middle ground between the smooth, quiet braking of organic pads and the durability and heat resistance of fully sintered metallic pads. Semi-sintered brake pads are ideal for those who want a balance between durability and smooth braking, making them suitable for a range of applications from commuter vehicles to light performance and touring bikes. They're popular in the motorcycle world and in light to moderate performance vehicle applications, where a mix of daily usability and resilience to moderate heat is desired. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Sintered brake pads, also known as metallic brake pads, are made from a high concentration of metal particles (like copper, bronze, or steel) that are fused together under intense heat and pressure. This process, called sintering, creates a dense, highly durable material that performs well under extreme temperatures and heavy loads, making sintered pads ideal for high-performance, heavy-duty, and off-road applications.  Sintered brake pads are best for vehicles used in rugged or high-performance applications where high durability and heat resistance are necessary. They're commonly used in motorcycles, off-road vehicles, trucks, and heavy machinery, as well as in sports cars that need powerful braking in extreme conditions.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we investigate the store of Claude Edwards, the "no-nonsense" Missouri farmer who bared witness to a UFO carrying alien entities. How did these creatures come to be known as the Tuscumbia Penguins and just what was it that Edwards saw that fateful Valentine's Day morning? Is there any terrestrial explanation for the extraterrestrial penguin critters? We discuss all this and more!

Correspondent Tom Wilmer visits with docent, Lynn Weaver at Helen Keller's birthplace home, Ivy Green, in Tuscumbia, Alabama

Story One: In January 1976, three Kentucky women - Louise Smith, Mona Stafford and Elaine Thomas - were driving home after having a late dinner in Stanford, Kentucky. Suddenly, just outside of town, a strange UFO swooped down in front of and then behind their moving car, causing the vehicle to move at 85 miles per hour. The next thing the ladies knew was they were eight miles away from where they just had been, and they experienced about 80 minutes-worth of missing time. During subsequent hypnosis sessions, the three women remembered what had occurred during that unaccounted for 80 minutes - they were subjected to terrifying examinations by weird, alien creatures. Story Two: On Valentine's Day 1967 in Tuscumbia, Missouri, 64-year-old farmer Claude Edwards discovered a large mushroom-shaped craft had landed on his property. Even stranger, the craft was surrounded by green, penguin-shaped alien beings.

***Winterpausen-Specials***Ihr Lieben, wir gönnen uns über die Weihnachtstage eine kleine Auszeit und sind am 18. Januar wieder da. Bis dahin: stöbert gern in unserem reichhaltigen Backkatalog oder folgt unseren Empfehlungen. Wie dieser z.B. über die taubblinde Menschenrechtsaktivistin Helen Keller: Helen Keller wurde am 27. Juni 1880 in Tuscumbia, im US-Bundesstaat Alabama geboren. Bei ihrer Geburt war sie noch kerngesund, doch mit nur 19 Monaten erkrankte sie so schwer, dass sie als Folge nicht nur ihr Gehör, sondern auch ihr Sehvermögen verlor. Ein massiver Einschnitt in ihr Leben und das ihrer Familie, denn die Kommunikation mit der Umwelt schien zunächst nahezu unmöglich.Doch Rettung nahte, denn Helens Mutter brachte sie schließlich an das Perkins-Institut, eine Schule, die vor allem auf die Förderung blinder und taubblinder Kinder und Jugendlicher spezialisiert war. Dort traf sie auf ihre Lehrerin und Weggefährtin Anne Sullivan, die selbst blind war und ihr das „Fingeralphabet" beibrachte, mit der sich Helen verständigen konnte. Eine schicksalshafte Begegnung...Durch diese Förderung und ihren unbändigen Willen und harte Arbeit konnte Helen nicht nur als erster taubblinder Mensch ihren Bachelor Abschluss in Harvard machen, sondern sich auch weltweit auf ihren Reisen für die Rechte von behinderten Menschen einsetzen und für Frauenrechte und Rechte Unterdrückter kämpfen. Helen war und ist bis heute für viele Menschen weltweit eine Inspiration für unbändigen Willen, Selbstvertrauen und Mut – ein universelles Symbol für Kraft und Stärke. Das ist auch der Grund für Kims Wortschöpfung, die wir in dieser Folge von Starke Frauen aufklären... Neugierig? Dann schaltet ein!Podcast-Tipp von Cathrin: INVISIBILIA "How to become Batman“ über einen blinden Jungen, der Fahrradfahren lernte, indem er mit Schnalzgeräuschen Schallwellen auslöste und sich wie Fledermäuse so Orientierung verschaffte.Und wir bitten euch in dieser Folge um Spenden für die Erdbebenopfer in der Türkei und Syrien.

hear anything, or say anything?Life for young Helen Keller was like that.She had had an illness before she was two years old that had left her deaf, dumb and blind.After that, it was difficult for her to communicate with anyone.She could only learn by feeling with her hands.This was very frustrating for Helen, her mother and her father.Helen Keller grew up in Alabama, U.S.A., during the 1880s and 1890s.At that time, people who had lost the use of their eyes, ears and mouth often ended up in charitable institutions.Such a place would provide them with basic food and shelter until they died.Or they could go out on the streets with a beggar's bowl and ask strangers for money.Since Helen's parents were not poor, she did not have to do either of these things.But her parents knew that they would have to do something to help her.One day, when she was six years old, Helen became frustrated that her mother was spending so much time with the new baby.Unable to express her anger, Helen tipped over the baby's crib, nearly injuring the baby.Her parents were horrified and decided to take the last chance open to them.They would try to find someone to teach Helen to communicate.A new school in Boston claimed to be able to teach children like Helen.The Kellers wrote a letter to the school in Boston asking for help.In March 1887, a teacher, twenty year old Anne Sullivan arrived at the Keller's home in Tuscumbia, Alabama.Anne Sullivan herself had had a very difficult life.Her mother had died when she was eight.Two years later, their father had abandoned Anne and her little brother Jimmy.Anne was nearly blind and her brother had a diseased hip.No one wanted the two handicapped children, so they were sent to a charitable institution.Jimmy died there.At age 14, Anne, who was not quite blind, was sent to the school for the blind in Boston.Since she had not had any schooling before, she had to start in Grade One.Then she had an operation that gave her back some of her eyesight.Since Anne knew what it was like to be blind, she was a sympathetic teacher.Before Anne could teach Helen anything, she had to get her attention.Because Helen was so hard to communicate with, she was often left alone to do as she pleased.A few days after she arrived, Anne insisted that Helen learn to sit down at the table and eat breakfast properly.Anne told the Kellers to leave, and she spent all morning in the breakfast room with Helen.Finally,after a difficult struggle she got the little girl to sit at the table and use a knife and fork.Since the Keller family did not like to be strict with Helen, Anne decided that she needed to be alone with her for a while.There was a little cottage away from the big house.The teacher and pupil moved there for some weeks.It was here that Anne taught Helen the manual alphabet.This was a system of sign language.But since Helen couldn't see, Anne had to make the signs in her hands so that she could feel them.For along time, Helen had no idea what the words she was learning meant.She learned words like "box" and "cat," but hadn't learned that they referred to those objects.One day, Anne dragged Helen to a water pump and made the signs for"water" while she pumped water over Helen's hands.Helen at last made the connection between the signs and the thing."Water"was that cool, wet liquid stuff.Once Helen realized that the manual alphabet could be used to name things, she ran around naming everything.Before too long, she began to make sentences using the manual alphabet.She also learned to read and write using the "Square Hand Alphabet" which was made up of raised square letters.Before long, she was also using Braille and beginning to read books.Helen eventually learned to speak a little, although this was hard for her because she couldn't hear herself.She went on to school and then to Radcliffe College.She wrote articles and books, gave lectures, and worked tirelessly to help the blind.The little girl who couldn't communicate with anyone became, in time, a wonderful communicator.翻译海伦·凯勒什么也看不见，什么也听不见，什么也说不出来会是什么感觉?年轻的海伦·凯勒的生活就是这样。她在两岁之前生过一场病，导致她又聋又哑又盲。从那以后，她很难与任何人沟通。她只能用手摸来学习。这对海伦、她的父母来说都是非常令人沮丧的。海伦·凯勒于19世纪八九十年代在美国阿拉巴马州长大。在那个时候，那些失去了眼睛、耳朵和嘴巴的人最后往往会去慈善机构。这样的地方可以为他们提供基本的食物和住所，直到他们死去。或者他们可以拿着乞丐的碗走到街上向陌生人要钱。由于海伦的父母并不穷，她不必做这两件事。但是她的父母知道他们必须做点什么来帮助她。海伦六岁的时候，有一天，她对妈妈花那么多时间和新生婴儿在一起感到沮丧。海伦无法表达她的愤怒，打翻了婴儿床，差点把婴儿弄伤。她的父母吓坏了，决定抓住最后的机会。他们会设法找人教海伦交流。波士顿的一所新学校声称能够教海伦这样的孩子。凯勒一家给波士顿的学校写了一封信寻求帮助。1887年3月，20岁的教师安妮·沙利文来到凯勒在阿拉巴马州图斯坎比亚的家。安妮·沙利文自己的生活也很艰难。她母亲在她八岁时就去世了。两年后，他们的父亲抛弃了安妮和她的弟弟吉米。安妮几乎失明了，而她的哥哥髋骨有病。没有人要这两个残疾儿童，所以他们被送到了慈善机构。吉米死在那里。14岁时，还没有完全失明的安妮被送到波士顿的一所盲人学校。由于她以前没有受过任何教育，她不得不从一年级开始。后来她做了手术，恢复了部分视力。因为安妮知道盲人的感受，所以她是一位富有同情心的老师。在安妮教海伦任何东西之前，她必须引起她的注意。因为海伦很难与人沟通，所以她经常被独自留下做她想做的事。到了几天后，安妮坚持要海伦学会在餐桌旁坐下，好好吃早餐。安妮叫凯勒一家离开，她整个上午都和海伦待在早餐室里。最后，经过一番艰难的挣扎，她让小女孩坐在桌子旁使用刀叉。由于凯勒一家不喜欢对海伦太严格，安妮决定自己需要和海伦单独待一段时间。在大房子的旁边有一间小屋。老师和学生搬到那里住了几个星期。就是在这里，安妮教会了海伦手工字母。这是一种手语系统。但由于海伦看不见，安妮不得不用手做手势，这样她才能感觉到。很长一段时间，海伦不知道她正在学习的单词是什么意思。她学会了“盒子”和“猫”这样的词，但不知道它们指的是这些物体。一天，安妮把海伦拖到一个水泵旁，一边把水抽到海伦手上，一边做着“水”的手势。海伦终于把这些符号和那个东西联系起来了。“水”是那种又冷又湿的液体。当海伦意识到可以用手工字母来命名事物时，她四处奔波，为所有事物命名。不久之后，她开始用手语字母造句。她还学会了用由凸起的方形字母组成的“方手字母表”来阅读和书写。不久，她也开始使用盲文，并开始阅读书籍。海伦最终学会了说一点话，尽管这对她来说很困难，因为她听不到自己的声音。她继续上学，然后去了拉德克利夫学院。她写文章和书，做演讲，不知疲倦地帮助盲人。那个不能和任何人交流的小女孩，最终变成了一个很棒的沟通者。

Close your eyes and transport yourself back in time in this episode of Unexpected Adventures in North Alabama. Melea talks with Sue Pilkilton, executive director at the Birthplace of Helen Keller Museum. Sue shares stories from Helen's life and talks about how visitors can learn more about her legacy for themselves. “When you visit the Helen Keller Birthplace, we often talk about Annie Sullivan's importance in Helen's life. We really feel that it took the two to make the one. If Annie Sullivan had not arrived in 1887 here in Tuscumbia, I don't think the world would have ever known of Helen Keller. She was the backbone that pushed Helen to do what she did.“ -Sue Pilkilton The Helen Keller Birthplace Follow North Alabama on Social Media!

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Space Penguins. Are penguins really as cute as many people believe? Possibly not, it turns out. You won't learn this stuff in Happy Feet! Is it possible that ancient penguins developed space flight and left the earth only to then return many years in the future? How would a tough 1967 SOB farmer react should those Space Penguins return on the farmers land? Would the farmer hide, or try to save the moo moo's? We head on over to Tuscumbia, Missouri in the United States of America to find out. On this episode we may aka will encounter a new form of alien - the grey-green. Greyeen. When you're dealing with extraterrestrial entities, violence is never the answer. Or is it? Questions we ponder in this episode include whether cars are born and why penguins smell so bad… LOOK AT THAT HOLE.

But in some corners of internet, Tuscumbia is legendary. This is because, on a chilly  February morning in 1967, a farmer named Claude Edwards said he spotted something strange  on his way to tend to his cows, sparking a story that would become known as The Space Penguins of Tuscumbia. Thanks for listening!
