Podcasts about Unexpected

Patrick opens the lines to questions on everything from the nuances of calling oneself Catholic versus Roman Catholic, to the thorny spaces of marriage, conversion, and sacramental life when couples move at different speeds. He moves between callers wrestling with Protestant arguments on faith and works, personal battles with divorce, haunting memories of abortion, and even speculation about the glorified resurrected body and incorrupt saints. Unexpected candor and tension ripple beneath discussions as Patrick brings clarity and hope, offering listeners both practical steps and spiritual encouragement. Patrick continues his conversation with Rafael from the previous hour about by we are referred to as “Roman Catholics” Rick - I had a discussion with a Protestant and quoted James about faith and works. He said that the Book of James was just for the Jews and not for non-Jewish people. (06:21) Deidra - I heard your comment about the Holy Ghost. When 120 disciples were up in the upper room, they had the power to speak in tongues but didn’t have power to heal. People don’t speak in tongues anymore. (10:34) Jake - Why is a couple forced to be married in the Church if both are Catholic, but if only one is Catholic they are not required to be married in the Church? (16:56) Juan – My wife had an abortion many years ago and I still have guilt (33:52) Stuart - What are the anatomical features of the resurrected body? (40:01) Don - Encourages the last caller to not go through divorce and to stick it out (46:17)

Patrick welcomes questions that reach from Catholic faith and science, like connecting Adam and Eve to evolution, to family struggles over a loved one joining a zealous group, and the emotional weight of defending Church teachings with clarity and love. Listeners voice worries about things such as white wine in the chalice, hydration for a fading parent, and even dogs in the pews, while Patrick responds with practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and resources to keep faith at the center. Unexpected, sometimes touching, always honest. Mike - My daughter is learning about evolution. She is trying to square how evolution and Adam and Eve came about? (00:31) Joe - My wife is starting to leave the Church. She has joined another denomination. How do I defend the faith and prove their flaws. (11:51) Colleen - Sunday Mass, I took the precious blood. I saw in the chalice before I consumed it, and it was white wine. Is that the incorrect matter to use? (27:44) Amy - I help teach OCIA. I was a convert myself. There is a little antagonism when you get closer and closer to coming to Church. (33:30) Jackie – My 96-year-old mom had a stroke. She vomits when she takes water. She doesn't want extraordinary means to stay alive. Is withholding IV from her a sin? (42:30) Rose - What is your stance on regular pets in Church during Mass? (48:37)

Patrick opens with a flurry of questions about parish sacramental access, shifting straight into parents wrestling with how faith endures when children grow up and step into secular spaces. Unexpected moments surface: a father refusing a suitor, families weighing boundaries, and frustrated reflections on why young adults abandon the beliefs they were raised with, all while the wider culture seems eager to tug them elsewhere. The conversation pivots to why students barely touch books and how even spiritual terms like “Spouse of the Holy Spirit” can unsettle listeners, hinting at how language and habit both drift amid change. Kevin (email) - Denying a Sacrament because of your zip code? (00:54) Email - Do you expect a man to ask your permission before he proposes to your daughter? Do you teach your sons to ask her father's permission before he proposes to a woman? (08:35) Kim - How do I tell my daughter that God loves her? (19:23) Kathy - I am enjoying the topic you are discussing about dating. Can you also talk about evaluating a woman for your son? (28:11) Audio: The absolute state of public education – Schools discourage kids from reading - https://x.com/xxclusionary/status/1843062410414113023?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (33:04) Anne - You are talking about kids not reading. What if we read with our kids? I think that could get them into the story. (41:57) Todd – I don’t care for the term “Spouse of the Holy Spirit”. This doesn't seem to be scripturally based title for Our Lady or based in Catholic doctrine. (44:43)

Emily Cook hoped for a low-intervention birth. But after managing high blood pressure throughout her pregnancy, her plans changed when she was diagnosed with preeclampsia late in her third trimester.   In this episode, Emily shares how the EBB Childbirth Class helped her prepare to navigate an unexpected induction, magnesium therapy, and an epidural while still advocating for the birth experience she wanted. She talks about asking questions, requesting a lower-dose epidural so she could remain mobile, advocating for wireless fetal monitoring and hands-and-knees pushing, and finding confidence in making informed decisions even when things didn't go as planned.   Emily also reflects on the emotional realities of postpartum, from recovering after preeclampsia and establishing breastfeeding to navigating grief after the unexpected loss of her grandmother just weeks after giving birth. Her story is a reminder that birth is only one part of the transition to parenthood, and that caring for the birthing parent is just as important as caring for the baby.   (02:04) How Emily Found EBB (04:29) Her Original Birth Plan and Adapting to Preeclampsia (07:36) Advocating for Individualized Care During Labor (09:22) High Blood Pressure, Triage, and Preeclampsia Diagnosis (15:03) Induction Begins (20:08) Magnesium Drip and Feeling "Tethered" During Labor (25:57) Comfort Measures and Movement (29:07) Pushing on Hands and Knees and Meeting Her Baby (35:57) Postpartum Recovery and Continued Monitoring (40:47) Recovering from Preeclampsia (42:06) Grief and Postpartum (49:06) Emily's Advice for Expecting Parents   Resources Learn more about the EBB Childbirth Class: evidencebasedbirth.com/parentclasses/ EBB 391 – Electronic Fetal Monitoring Advocacy Tips with Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, OB/GYN and Author of The Birth Book EBB 349 – An L & D Nurse's Advice for Advocating in the Birth Room with Trish Ware the Labor Nurse Mama Evidence on: Pitocin® During the Third Stage of Labor   For more information about Evidence Based Birth and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

Unexpected expenses happen. Whatmatters is what you do next. Here's how you rebuild your emergency fund step-by-step, smart ways to adjust your budget after a setback, and why even small savings habits still matter. Progress doesn't stop just because life happens.

Planning for retirement can feel overwhelming, especially as you approach the transition from earning a paycheck to relying on your savings. The early phase of retirement brings unique challenges, and it's no surprise that there are plenty of misconceptions that can lead you astray. In this episode, we break down five of the most prevalent retirement myths, share insights from working with clients, and offer practical guidance to help you make confident, personalized decisions for your future.   1. "I'll Spend Less In Retirement Than When I Was Working"   This is one of the most widespread assumptions—and financial media often reinforces it by suggesting you'll only need 70-80% of your pre-retirement income. However, the reality is often quite different. In early retirement, spending typically increases as retirees suddenly have more time for activities, hobbies, and travel that were perhaps squeezed out during their working years. Parental obligations can linger, with adult children sometimes relying on financial assistance well into their late twenties or thirties. Unexpected repairs, long-postponed home improvements, or even a burst of "retirement honeymoon" spending are common. Recognizing these patterns, and planning for them, can help set more realistic expectations for your retirement budget.   2. "I Don't Have Time to Recover from a Market Downturn Anymore"   It's natural to become risk-averse as retirement nears; no one wants to see years of savings diminished by a bear market. Today's retirees are living longer than previous generations—often enjoying 25, 30, or even 35 years in retirement. This expanded timeline means you still have the potential (and perhaps the need) to ride out stock market fluctuations and recover from downturns. Avoiding growth assets altogether in favor of perceived "safety" may actually represent a different kind of risk: the erosion of purchasing power due to inflation.   3. "I'll Only Spend Interest and Never Touch My Principal"   This "live-off-the-interest" approach may have worked in an era of higher interest rates, but it's limiting in today's environment. We advocate for a total-return strategy: you draw from a mix of interest, dividends, and capital gains as appropriate. This helps maximize your spending potential and accounts for variable needs and market fluctuations. Clinging to the old mindset of never spending principal may feel safer, but it can artificially constrain your quality of life and generosity toward loved ones or causes you care about.    4. "I Shouldn't Retire Before 65 Because of Health Insurance"   Many people believe they must keep working until Medicare eligibility at 65 due to concerns about the high cost and complexity of health insurance. While the Affordable Care Act and COBRA have shifted the landscape, these options are often misunderstood or overlooked. Model retirement scenarios and run cost estimators to see if pre-65 retirement is out of reach or if it might be achievable—perhaps with an added planned expense for private insurance or by using available subsidies. Make decisions based on personalized numbers, not generalizations or fear. Sometimes, paying for private health insurance can be a worthwhile trade-off for earlier retirement and the memories made with family and friends.   5. "I Don't Need to Worry About Long-Term Care—I'll Just Stay in My Home"   It's tempting to imagine that aging in place solves long-term care needs, but the reality is that nearly 80% of retirees require some form of long-term care eventually. Whether it's in-home assistance or moving to a residential community, the costs are significant—often $80,000 per year or more, and potentially much higher for round-the-clock or specialized care. Failing to plan for these expenses may burden loved ones and potentially result in less-than-desired care options. Medicaid is not a reliable fallback for most financially secure retirees.   Outline of This Episode   01:53 Why early retirement often brings increased spending  05:26 Rethinking life expectancy reality 06:44 Discussing financial planning strategies 09:25 Misconception about living off interest 13:22 Financial plan modeling: test scenarios to see if earlier retirement is feasible 17:13 Importance of clarifying care intentions before a crisis arises     Resources & People Mentioned   7 Common Misconceptions about Retirement Planning | CCRRBC Inheritocracy by Eliza Filby About the Affordable Care Act | HHS.gov Medicare Finances: A Perspective on the 2026 Trustees Report

We explore the social aspects that predict people's opinions; climate and geography; why conventionally attractive people are more right-wing; and peanut butter preferences. We discuss a biological basis to political beliefs, the social functions of opinions, and tribalism. Finally, we talk about philosophy and science, and political radicalization and polarization.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Ahmed Riesgo doesn't see the demand for AI compute slowing down, telling clients he sees the tech pullbacks as opportunities. "The AI future has become cheaper for you," argues Ahmed, making the case it will only get cheaper the more this tech develops. He adds that unexpected earnings strength last quarter offer more muscle to Wall Street but warns not to expect that same outperformance this season. Ahmed turns to international headlines as the U.S. and Iran continue to clash over the Strait of Hormuz. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

It was posted in the locker room. He said it every day. I still think about it all the time. There is no hack. There is no one thing. At many keynote Q&As, someone asks me for a quick fix. The only answer is the power of compounding. Consistency, dependability, and reliability are the least sexy words of all time. And they're the whole game. Take your work seriously. Don't take yourself seriously. The best leaders go hard at the work but laugh at themselves. It's important to be able to laugh with your team. Optionality is overrated.  "I'm trying to beef up my obituary. I'm not going to dabble." - Ed Latimore (Ep. 648) Live like a hawk. Hawks have eyesight eight times better than humans. They glide and observe constantly. But once they see what they want, they commit with everything they have. Be a professional noticer. Then commit fully. Talk to your people before big decisions. My dad. Miranda. And the wide network of high-caliber people I've built over 700 podcast episodes. Be specific. Off the record. Long conversations. Then trust your gut. Take bits and pieces from the best. Then find your own voice. As a brand new sales rep at LexisNexis, Rex Caswell had me interview and sit with the ten best reps in the company. I took a piece from each, mashed it together with my own personality, and eventually found my own voice. I still use that formula today. Use social media to create in-person moments. Organize dinners, meetups, coffees. Get in the room with people. Concert ticket prices and The World Cup tell you everything you need to know about how much people are craving in-person connection right now. Don't outsource your thinking to AI. You can't walk into the weight room, look around, and expect to build muscle. You have to move the weights. Use AI as a tool. Don't let it do the thinking for you. Your job is to add value to other people's lives. Coach Hoeppner sat 19-year-old me down with the other quarterback and pointed at both of us: "He adds more value to our team than you do. He gives us a better chance to win. That's why he's going to play." It was brutal. It was a very lucky moment for me to experience that in my formative years. I fell into the AI trap. The Be a Pro section originally started as a LinkedIn post that was heavily influenced by Claude. It went well on Twitter too. People DM'd me praising it. It felt great. And it scared me. I was getting the rewards without doing the work. The good old days are right now. I try to work hard when my family is asleep or at school. Between those hours, I go as hard as I can. Outside those hours, I try not to work too much. I've talked with so many dads who are older now, and their kids are out of the house. They miss the time when they were with their kids so much. I try to think of that daily. Making positive dents in the world. Leave people, places, and things better than you found them.  That's how you make a positive dent, one person at a time. My philosophy on keynotes and writing: story, science, and practical application. Great storytelling to move people to the edge of their seat. Empirical evidence to make it true. Practical application to answer, "So what? Why should I care?" You have to have all 3. Our edge in coaching leadership teams: my coaches actively live what they teach. They didn't attend a seminar and get certified. They're still active coaches themselves, still leading teams in real time. That's what separates authentic teaching from performance. Push your edges. Find your Goldilocks zone. James Clear told me you don't get better at tennis by playing Roger Federer. He'll destroy you. But you also don't get better by playing a five-year-old. You need to be uncomfortable, but not so uncomfortable that you break. Shane Gillis walked off stage looking exhausted. Dan saw him live in Cincinnati. On stage, effortless. The second he stepped behind the curtain, his shoulders slumped like he was ready to fall asleep. That's what the great ones do. They make it look easy because of the price they paid to get there. My productive paranoia. Our team has to earn it every session. It creates a productive paranoia knowing that continuous improvement is necessary. The reward is bigger than the cost. It's the greatest gig in the world. I bet on myself and the team every single day because if we keep adding value, I like our chances. Reflection Questions Where are you dabbling right now? What would 100% commitment actually look like, and what's stopping you from making the call? My end-of-day prompts: What did I do today to add value to others' lives? What did I do today to push my edges?

Now right here… we're introduced to someone unexpected. It's not a king. It's not a warrior. It's not a priest. But instead… it's a woman named Deborah. Now… throughout church history... people have argued about Deborah. Some have tried to explain away her leadership. Others have tried to use Deborah… to make arguments… Scripture itself never makes. But folks... we just need to get out of the way… and simply let the Bible speak. The Bible presents Deborah with tremendous honor. She's called three things. First… Deborah Was a Prophetess. Now what does that mean? Folks… it means she spoke God's Word faithfully. Now we need to stop for a moment… and we need to understand what a prophet actually did. Most people hear the word "prophet"… and immediately think of someone who… predicts the future. Now… sometimes prophets did predict the future. But their primary responsibility… was something much greater. A prophet represented God… before the people. They proclaimed God's truth. They called people back to covenant faithfulness. They confronted sin. They encouraged obedience. Matthew Henry once wrote: "The greatest work of a prophet… is not foretelling the future, but bringing men… back to God." Folks... in Judges 4… that's exactly what Deborah was doing. Israel had forgotten God's Word. So God raised up somebody… who would faithfully proclaim it.

moderna situada al cor del districte financer.En: During a hot summer in the city of Barcelona, Júlia ventured into the working world as an intern in a modern office located in the heart of the financial district.Ca: Era un espai ampli amb grans finestres que deixaven entrar molta llum natural, un lloc on les persones es movien amb pressa entre reunions i taules compartides.En: It was a spacious area with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, a place where people moved quickly between meetings and shared desks.Ca: Júlia, estudiant universitària diligent, tenia un objectiu clar: impressionar a la seva supervisora, Laia.En: Júlia, a diligent university student, had a clear goal: to impress her supervisor, Laia.Ca: Laia era coneguda per ser exigent però justa, i Júlia desitjava més que res obtenir una bona recomanació o, amb sort, una oferta de treball per després de graduar-se.En: Laia was known for being demanding but fair, and Júlia wanted nothing more than to receive a good recommendation or, with luck, a job offer after graduating.Ca: Però, des de l'inici, va sentir que les expectatives eren altes.En: However, from the start, she felt that the expectations were high.Ca: Un altre becari, Pau, semblava tenir facilitat per tot.En: Another intern, Pau, seemed to have a knack for everything.Ca: Sempre acabava les tasques amb rapidesa i

deadlines.Ca: Aquesta situació la feia dubtar de les seves pròpies capacitats.En: This situation made her doubt her own abilities.Ca: Decidida a no rendir-se, Júlia va començar a quedar-se fins tard a

compartir algunes estratègies que l'ajudaven a organitzar-se millor.En: Despite her initial reluctance, Pau was surprisingly open and shared some strategies that helped him organize better.Ca: Amb el

cura.En: Júlia prepared herself very carefully.Ca: Quan va ser el seu torn, va exposar la seva investigació i propostes amb claredat i creativitat.En: When it was her turn, she presented her research

inesperat, Pau va cometre errors durant la seva presentació.En: However, in an unexpected twist, Pau made mistakes during his presentation.Ca: Va ser llavors quan es va fer evident que la seva aparent confiança amagava inseguretats.En: It was then that it became clear that his apparent confidence hid insecurities.Ca: Després de la sessió, Laia va dedicar unes paraules a Júlia, lloant el seu treball dur i el seu talent.En: After the session, Laia dedicated a few words to Júlia, praising her hard work and talent.Ca: Li va prometre recomanacions per a futures oportunitats laborals.En: She promised her recommendations for future job opportunities.Ca: Pau, d'altra banda, va entendre que no sempre podia fer-ho tot sol i va acceptar un projecte menys crític, valorant la importància del treball en equip.En: Pau, on the other hand, realized that he couldn't always do everything alone and accepted a less critical project, appreciating the importance of teamwork.Ca: A mesura que l'estiu arribava al seu final, Júlia havia guanyat confiança en les seves capacitats i havia après el valor de demanar ajuda quan era necessari.En: As the summer came to a close, Júlia had gained confidence in her abilities and had learned the value of asking for help when needed.Ca: Pau va començar a reconèixer els seus temors i va adoptar un enfocament més col·laboratiu.En: Pau began to recognize his fears

examinando unas carpetas cuando notó, en el extremo del pasillo, el último paquete de notas adhesivas de colores vibrantes.En: Mateo stopped for a moment, examining some folders when he noticed, at

Dave talks about an interesting delivery they received at the house. 

Would you believe me if I told you that COPY is not always the first thing I fix on a client's website (or potential client)? It's true! Before I ever write a single word of copy for a client, I do a walkthrough of their website first, and there are exactly three things I'm hunting for every single time. Not the big obvious stuff either. The stuff that's quietly costing them leads while they blame their copy for not converting. The one page element almost nobody thinks to check, and it has nothing to do with how the words sound A biopsychology principle that determines whether your buttons are actually working for you or against you The line between too cluttered and too bare at the very top of your site, and how to know which side you're on Go pull up your own homepage while you listen. I promise you'll be tempted to pause and fix something halfway through. Ready to have your website copy bringing in sales while you sleep? Book a free call here! Questions?

Transcript:Sv: Solen strålade över den stora öppna ängen, där en blandning av familjer och vänner hade samlats för en avslappnad sommarpicknick.En: The sun shone over the large open meadow, where a mix of families and friends had gathered for a relaxed summer picnic.Sv: Doften av nygrillat svävade genom luften medan barnen tjoade och lekte kurragömma bland blommorna.En: The scent of freshly grilled food wafted through the air while the children shouted and played hide and seek among the flowers.Sv: Mitt i allt detta fanns Elin, en engagerad och äventyrlig sjuksköterska som älskade att vara ute i naturen.En: In the midst of it all was Elin, an enthusiastic and adventurous nurse who loved being out in nature.Sv: Elin såg över folkmassan och log.En: Elin looked over the crowd and smiled.Sv: Hon kände sig trygg här, omgiven av skratt och glädje.En: She felt safe here, surrounded by laughter and joy.Sv: Men just när hon fick frid, hörde hon plötsligt ett rop: "Hjälp!En: But just as she found peace, she suddenly heard a shout: "Help!Sv: Hjälp!En: Help!Sv: Viktor har skadat sig!"En: Viktor has hurt himself!"Sv: Elin reagerade omedelbart och rusade mot platsen där ljudet kom ifrån.En: Elin reacted immediately and rushed to the place where the sound came from.Sv: Där låg Viktor, en ung pojke med lockigt hår, och såg orolig ut.En: There lay Viktor, a young boy with curly hair, looking worried.Sv: Bredvid honom var Astrid, hans mamma, nästan tårögd.En: Beside him was Astrid, his mother, almost in tears.Sv: "Jag behöver hjälp.En: "I need help.Sv: Vad ska jag göra?"En: What should I do?"Sv: frågade Astrid med skakig röst.En: asked Astrid with a shaky voice.Sv: Lugnt, men bestämt, sa Elin: "Ta det lugnt.En: Calmly, yet firmly, Elin said: "Take it easy.Sv: Jag är här för att hjälpa."En: I'm here to help."Sv: Även om det inte fanns några traditionella medicinska verktyg till hands, lät Elins utbildning och erfarenhet henne agera snabbt.En: Even though there were no traditional medical tools available, Elin's training and experience allowed her to act quickly.Sv: Hon använde ett stycke ren tyg, som en annan deltagare gav, för att begränsa blödningen på Viktors ben.En: She used a piece of clean cloth, given by another participant, to control the bleeding on Viktor's leg.Sv: Sedan höjde hon foten med hjälp av en picknickkorg för att minska svullnaden.En: Then she elevated his foot with the help of a picnic basket to reduce the swelling.Sv: Medan hon arbetade, pratade hon lugnt med Viktor och Astrid.En: While she worked, she spoke calmly to Viktor and Astrid.Sv: "Det kommer bli bra.En: "It's going to be okay.Sv: Vi måste bara vänta på ambulansen nu."En: We just have to wait for the ambulance now."Sv: Med varje ord blev Astrid mer och mer lugn, och Viktors andning stabiliserade sig.En: With each word, Astrid became calmer and calmer, and Viktor's breathing stabilized.Sv: Snart hörde de sirenerna närma sig, ett ljud av lättnad för alla närvarande.En: Soon, they heard the sirens approaching, a sound of relief for everyone present.Sv: När ambulansen kom, tog de över och Elin kände en våg av lättnad.En: When the ambulance arrived, they took over, and Elin felt a wave of relief.Sv: Astrid omfamnade henne med tårar i ögonen.En: Astrid embraced her with tears in her eyes.Sv: "Tack, Elin.En: "Thank you, Elin.Sv: Du hjälpte oss så mycket."En: You helped us so much."Sv: Elin nickade och log.En: Elin nodded and smiled.Sv: "Det är därför jag är här," svarade hon enkelt, men inombords kände hon en nyfunnen styrka.En: "That's why I'm here," she replied simply, but inside she felt a newfound strength.Sv: När kvällen närmade sig och solen sakta började gå ner, samlades alla åter kring picknickdukarna.En: As evening approached and the sun slowly began to set, everyone gathered once more around the picnic blankets.Sv: Elin satt med sina vänner och kände en ny sorts tillfredsställelse.En: Elin sat with her friends and felt a new kind of satisfaction.Sv: Hon hade alltid trott på sin förmåga att hjälpa andra, men idag hade hon sett sin egen styrka och förmåga blomma utanför sjukhusets trygga väggar.En: She had always believed in her ability to help others, but today she had seen her own strength and ability bloom outside the hospital's safe walls.Sv: Den lilla incidenten hade gett Elin en ny förståelse för sina egna gränser och möjligheter.En: The little incident had given Elin a new understanding of her own limits and possibilities.Sv: Hon insåg att hennes sårbarhet inte var en svaghet, utan en del av hennes styrka.En: She realized that her vulnerability was not a weakness, but a part of her strength.Sv: Det var en oförglömlig dag för alla som var där, och livet gick vidare, rikare av dagens lärdomar och vänskapens värme.En: It was an unforgettable day for everyone who was there, and life went on, enriched by the day's lessons and the warmth of friendship.

Why are the futures markets acting so strange? In this episode of The Futures Rundown, host Mark Longo welcomes back Mr. Rich Excell, Director of the Derivatives and Trading Academy at the Gies College of Business (University of Illinois)—frequently dubbed the "Hogwarts for derivatives traders." Mark and Rich dive deep into the concept of "unexpected performance" across the tape. When prices fail to rally on good news or refuse to drop on bad news, it's a major indicator of crowded positioning. The duo dissects the anomaly of falling livestock prices despite record Midwest heat waves, the rock-bottom correlation compressing index-level volatility (VIX), and why everyone is watching the E-Mini technical chart patterns for an impending breakout. What's Inside This Episode: The Trading Pit (Movers & Shakers): Analyzing why Natural Gas and Orange Juice (OJ) are stuck in the cellar, while Wheat variants and Ethereum (ETH) lead the charge to the green zone. The Volume Breakdown: Breaking down the massive spikes in Nasdaq Micro contracts and why fixed-income volume is surging despite muted data reactions. Equities & Macro Outlook: Why strong economic fundamentals and robust corporate earnings point toward a potential summer breakout, despite heavy confusion in the pit. Foreign Exchange & Metals Focus: Rich shares his structural look at the Japanese Yen, the Aussie/Yen growth indicator, and whether Gold is settled into a long-term range trade. The Futures Free-For-All: Answering listener questions on crypto hype, the possibility of a "water futures" contract, and whether the VIX is heading for the summer doldrums or a sudden spike.

Raymond Lavine is an extended care benefits advisor. He advises and designs long-term care benefits for families and LTC benefits for companies. Raised in the Hollywood Hills, Raymond grew up in a household shaped by global history. The son of immigrants who fled persecution and sought opportunity in the United States, he was introduced to perspectives beyond his immediate surroundings at an early age. Family travel across North America and Europe broadened his worldview, reinforcing the idea that lives, values, and challenges vary widely, an understanding that would later influence both his personal philosophy and professional approach.Following high school, Raymond made a choice that surprised many: enlisting in the U.S. Army. Upon entering airborne infantry service, he encountered environments and individuals far removed from his upbringing. Military life demanded cooperation, adaptability, and accountability, while service in Vietnam exposed him to loss, sacrifice, and the realities of vulnerability. These experiences left a lasting imprint, sharpening his empathy and deepening his appreciation for the burdens others carry.After completing his service, Raymond returned to education with renewed focus. Beginning at community college before transferring to the University of Southern California, he excelled academically, majoring in international relations with a minor in business. While he valued the rigor of his studies, he later reflected on the lack of formal negotiation training, a skill he came to see as essential in business and in navigating everyday human interactions.Lavine's professional path spanned commercial banking, mortgage services, and life insurance, culminating in his specialization in long-term care planning. A personal turning point emerged when caregiving challenges within his family revealed the financial and emotional strain that arises without preparation. Motivated by firsthand observation, he shifted his focus to helping individuals secure extended care solutions before a crisis strikes, preserving dignity, independence, and family stability.Today, Raymond's work centers on guiding people through conversations they often prefer to avoid, emphasizing understanding over assumptions. He advocates planning that protects not only assets but also careers and relationships, particularly as caregiving responsibilities increasingly affect working families. My approach is the belief that listening alone is not enough; it is about understanding.Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

Or maybe life forced you to make a pivot you never expected.This week on the Grad Girl Wellness Podcast, I'm joined by Valisha Edwards, a PhD student in Integrated Life Sciences with a concentration in Forensic Toxicology. Before beginning her doctoral journey, Valisha built a career as a forensic scientist/criminalist—giving her a unique perspective on what it means to leave the working world and step back into life as a graduate student.We discuss:

Identity. It goes to the core of who we understand ourselves to be. From it flows our purpose in life, our values, our very reason to live. My identity as a husband, second only to my identity as a child of God, is not more. That sacred role and responsibility ended in the blink of an eye. Join me for today's Daily Word and Prayer as we process this grief together.

Audio may not be pristine, but it will be better than the original file which may have been unusable or more difficult to hear without editing.CUSTOM WEBPAGE: https://weirddarkness.com/WDRR0712Weird Darkness presents Retro Radio, a night of classic dark radio drama spanning three decades of murder, madness, and the supernatural.It opens with the CBS Radio Mystery Theater's "The Judas Kiss," in which Oscar Absecker, a solitary handyman living on a dying mountain outside the village of Tipton, believes a big black dog barks three times whenever someone dies — and believes he can watch distant events unfold by standing inside a lightning-struck, hollow pine tree. When Deputy Luke Marbury rents the cabin above his to a woman named Enid Grant, Oscar becomes convinced that she is destroying the much younger man who joins her there, and his visions show him one killing after another. Fred Gwynne stars, with E.G. Marshall hosting.From there comes "Spirit Calling" from Tales From The Tomb, a short piece about a nine-year-old girl named Amy, alone in the house during a violent summer storm after her uncle Stanley's death, and the telephone call that comes through on a dead line.Next is Two Thousand Plus and "World's Apart," in which rocket engineer Jim Granger talks his way onto Flight 17, the first crewed voyage to Neptune, only for the spaceship Phoenix to be dragged off course by an uncharted comet. Crippled and lost, the ship limps to a landing at a place called Green Valley, where Commander Dijkstra can hear heartbeats across a room, the milk is green, and gravity does not behave the way it should.The Unexpected follows with "Heat Wave," starring Barry Sullivan as Whitey Malone, a fugitive sweating out a 110-degree heat wave in a fifth-floor garret while the police close in — and burning to settle accounts with the woman he thinks tipped them off.Then Unsolved Mysteries brings "Indian Fakir," a story told at the United Services Club in Simla, where a colonel recounts what happened when his young English bride, alone in their Bangalore bungalow, tried to outsmart a fakir who demanded a strand of her hair — and handed him threads pulled from a Chinese rug instead.Dark Venture presents "Elizabeth Is Frightened," with Joan Banks as a wealthy woman who marries Philip Bailey, a widower fascinated by the power of one mind to dominate another. As the whole town starts believing Elizabeth is ill and suicidal, only her housekeeper Flora and Dr. Davis suspect what her husband is really doing.The Weird Circle offers "Haunted Hotel," in which Henry Westwick travels to Venice and takes room fourteen at a converted castle to learn how his brother Philip died weeks after marrying the mysterious Countess Narona — and finds the answers coming to him in dreams.The Whistler tells "Murder Will Shout," the story of garage owner George Kramer, buried in debt to a man named Albion, and the small-time racketeer Peanut Marola who offers a black-market car racket, a partnership, and a solution to the Albion problem that goes very wrong on Miller Highway.Strange Wills, starring Warren William, tells "Emily," tracing a violin built by Antonio Stradivarius in Cremona in 1732 through the hands of gypsies, Niccolò Paganini, and the Heller family of Vienna, until it turns up at a barn dance in the Tennessee hills as a GI's war souvenir.The Witch's Tale delivers "Statue of Thor," in which sculptor Neil Redding, bored and cruel, mocks his enormous Swedish model Olaf, seduces Olaf's fiancée Hedwig, and takes the big man to the foundry to watch the statue of Thor cast in bronze — a casting that comes out of the mold wearing a face Redding never sculpted.X Minus One presents "Honeymoon In Hell," set in the late 1960s, when male births stop worldwide and the cybernetics machine known as Junior recommends sending a married couple to the moon. Rocket pilot Ray Carmody is wed to Eastern Alliance pilot Anya Borisovna hours before launch, and on the lunar surface they find an unidentified craft that does not belong to either alliance.ABC Mystery Time offers "Murder In Haste," in which Elbert Taylor kills his wife Ellen, flees Miami by train under an assumed name, and — after a derailment in Georgia — steals the identity of a dead mystery writer named Leslie Jameson, only to have Jameson's wife walk into his New York hotel room.The episode closes with Strange Adventure and "Death Rides The Carousel," where a lawyer named Jeffrey Ford is found stabbed through the heart on a merry-go-round chariot at a village carnival in Merrimack, and Inspector Jonathan Hawke spots the flaw in the ticket taker's account.

The Atlanta Braves picked up a much-needed series win over the Pirates on Thursday thanks to big contributions from a couple unexpected heroes. In this episode, Scott Coleman and Stephen Tolbert react to Jim Jarvis' big day and if he should be the shortstop moving forward, a clutch grand slam from Mike Yastrzemski, a collection of bullpen arms got it done, trade talk with Sonny Gray and Freddy Peralta, and much more.
