Please take 5 minutes to fill out Ark Media's LISTENER SURVEY ____ Rachel Goldberg-Polin joins Dan for a Purim special to explain why this is possibly the most misunderstood holiday in Jewish tradition. Rather than simply a fun masquerade for kids, Purim presents a profound meditation on hiddenness, courage, and stepping into one's moment. Rachel walks Dan through the Book of Esther, unpacks its drama and philosophical depth, and explores why a story where God is never mentioned may be the most relevant text for a confusing, fractured age. In this episode: - The world of Persia and the backstory to Purim - Vashti, Esther, and the making of a queen - Haman, Amalek, and the logic of antisemitism - “For such a time as this” and the Esther moment - Where is God in a story without God? - Masks, hiddenness, and the illusion of randomness - Unity, generosity, and the mitzvot of Purim - Discovering your purpose when no one summons you More Ark Media: Subscribe to Inside Call me Back Explore Israel Votes Listen to For Heaven's Sake Listen to What's Your Number?

With a 250th birthday in sight, we wanted to ask Americans what it means to be an American and reflect on what the founders built, who they left out and what in that 250-year history has been left unresolved. Judy Woodruff went to Vermont, a state whose motto is "Freedom and Unity," for her series, America at a Crossroads. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders.

According to an anonymous source connected to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Juan Carlos Valencia González — also known as “O3” — has reportedly stepped into a leadership role following El Mencho. O3 is said to run Grupo Elite, CJNG's armed enforcement wing, and currently carries a $5 million U.S. bounty.Here's where it gets serious: reports indicate he was born in Santa Ana, California — potentially making him a U.S. citizen by birth.If true, this development changes the conversation around cartel leadership, U.S. jurisdiction, national security, and the evolving nature of transnational organized crime.In this breakdown, Kelsi Sheren analyzes:– Who O3 is and his connection to El Mencho– The structure and power of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel– What Grupo Elite represents inside CJNG– The legal implications if a U.S. citizen leads a Mexican cartel– How birthright citizenship intersects with federal prosecution– Why CJNG remains one of the most dangerous cartels in the world– The broader national security implications for the United StatesThis is not sensationalism. This is a strategic look at what modern cartel power actually looks like in 2026.CJNG continues to be a major force in fentanyl trafficking, meth production, and cartel violence across Mexico and the United States. A confirmed leadership shift would have serious implications for U.S.–Mexico relations, federal law enforcement, and cartel designation debates.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Context of Mexico's Cartel Violence00:25 The Alleged Leadership Change in CJNG01:16 Carlos Valencia Gonzalez: The New Leader and His Background02:05 The Significance of a US-born Cartel Leader03:01 Legal Implications of US Citizenship for Cartel Leaders04:00 Citizenship and Jurisdiction in Organized Crime05:56 Cartel Violence as a National Security Threat06:52 Impact on US and Canadian Fentanyl Crisis07:19 Potential Outcomes of Leadership Transition08:07 Modern Cartel Structures and Globalization09:02 Implications for US-Mexico Cooperation and Policy09:58 The Future of Hybrid and Transnational Organized CrimeResources: CJNG Official Website - https://www.cjng.mx/RICO Laws - US Department of Justice - https://www.justice.gov/usao/justice-101/rico-actFentanyl Crisis - CDC - https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/fentanyl.htmlBorder Policy - US Customs and Border Protection - https://www.cbp.gov/Global Organized Crime - UNODC - https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/organized-crime/index.html - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Brian From reflects on the spectacle of the State of the Union, the sobering four-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine, and the unifying power of Olympic gold. He challenges the church to resist celebrity culture, reject political labels attached to Christianity, and pursue true unity rooted in Christ alone. The hour closes with a powerful question: would heaven still be heaven if Jesus weren’t there?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the end of an era. Saturday Night Live brings the original era to a close as Buck Henry (naturally) hosts the season finale of Season Five.  Andrew Gold (it's okay, you can ask “Who?”) and Andrae Crouch with The Voice of Unity are the musical guests.The show leans into the “will they or won't they be back” elephant in the room often throughout the episode – from the monologue right up to the goodnights. In between, Buck gives another solid performance as host, we get to say goodbye to some well-loved recurring characters, and are gifted one of the most iconic sketches in the show's history up to this point.A lot has been said about SNL during this era – and this season – and it is bittersweet to see it come to an end. We say goodbye to Gilda, Jane, Laraine, Garrett, and Bill (and Lorne), and no one is sure what the future holds for Saturday Night Live. With one last self-referential nod, the show bows out and leaves the audience wondering just what might come next.A special guest also stops by to help say goodbye to the original era and one of the greatest hosts in SNL history.---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!

Vicki Dobbs Beck, the former head of ILMxLab and a 34-year veteran of Lucasfilm/Disney, joins Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a candid look back at her incredible career navigating the tech and cultural shifts inside one of Hollywood's most powerful empires. Though she announced her retirement, it was quickly delayed to take an interim lead position at the George Lucas Educational Foundation's Lucas Learning, focusing on project-based simulations for middle school—a return to a career passion she started in the early 90s.Vicki shares the core, "rebel alliance" strategy that made ILMxLab a success—sustained innovation, industry acknowledgment, and financial self-sufficiency—and tells the terrifying story of pushing the Quest 1 headset to its absolute limits for the launch of Vader Immortal. She discusses the crucial lessons learned from pivoting the development to center the player in the story, transforming the experience from a "spatial film" to a personal journey, and the importance of slowing the pacing down for a new art form like VR.Before the interview, the hosts dissect a week of massive raises in AI (World Labs' $1B, Recursive Intelligence's $335M), the strategic shifts of tech giants like Palantir to Miami, and the intensifying race in wearables with Apple, Meta, and OpenAI all developing new devices like pendants and glasses.Key Moments00:03:17 – World Labs & Unity AI: Discussing the $1B World Labs raise for 3D world generation and Unity's plans to build AI into its game engine to make it accessible to non-developers.00:06:11 – The Miami Tech Hub: Rony Abovitz on why founders like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Larry, and Sergei are moving to Miami—it's more than just taxes, it's about a new “America strategy.”00:12:30 – Apple Watch as Wearables Base: Ted Schilowitz argues Apple already has the micro-technology (from the Apple Watch) to dominate the wearables space, but the underperformance of Siri held them back.00:27:00 – LaserDisc Learning: Vicki's early career in Lucasfilm Learning using cutting-edge but bulky computer-driven laser disc players for educational multimedia.00:28:57 – VR is 'Outsized': Ted's thesis that immersive technology has historically been overfunded and over-expected to return a profit, contrasting with the "rebel alliance" approach.00:34:45 – The Quest 1 Launch Scare: The terrifying moment before the Vader Immortal launch when a tiny software update broke the app because ILMxLab had pushed the Quest hardware to its absolute maximum.00:42:11 – The Void & Full VR Power: Charlie, Ted, and Vicki discuss why location-based VR like Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire (The Void) represents the exotic, "Ferrari version" of VR that most commercial users never experience.This conversation is a masterclass in pioneering entertainment technology. Vicki Dobbs Beck's experience shows that the path to a sustainable, breakthrough product like Vader Immortal requires a clear, rebel-alliance-style strategy, a willingness to pivot on core design principles (spatial film vs. player-centric experience), and a deep understanding of the hardware's limits—or lack thereof. It highlights the essential tension between commercial scale and the pursuit of the 'ultimate' immersive experience.Catch the AI XR Podcast where you get podcasts and watch full video episodes on YouTube. https://youtu.be/vguuHDmaSbsThis episode of The AI XR Podcast is brought to you by Zappar, the folks behind Mattercraft.

Episode 2.85In this episode, Michael and Zach conclude the book of Joshua by walking through chapters 22–24, where Israel's response to God's finished work takes center stage. After crossing, conquering, and dividing the land, the final question remains: How will God's people live in the rest He has given them?Joshua 22 addresses a potential civil war sparked by an altar built by the eastern tribes. What appears to be apostasy turns out to be a misunderstanding rooted in a shared concern for covenant faithfulness. The tension reveals a crucial principle: unity without holiness is dangerous, but holiness without unity fractures the people of God.Joshua 23 records Joshua's final address to Israel's leaders. He calls them to courageous obedience, grounding his exhortation in both grace and warning. The same God who grants victory will also judge covenant unfaithfulness. The promises are sure—but they cut both ways.Joshua 24 closes at Shechem with covenant renewal. Joshua rehearses Israel's history—from Abraham to Jericho—reminding them that their inheritance was entirely a gift of grace. Then comes the decisive call: “Choose this day whom you will serve.” Yet Joshua also warns that serving a holy God is not casual or automatic. The chapter's repeated emphasis on “serve” presses the issue of loyalty, not sentiment.The book ends not with conquest, but with commitment. Rest in the land demands covenant faithfulness. God has kept every promise—now Israel must decide how they will live.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/7MkP-FTVOsQMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy ponemos el foco en la recompra de acciones anunciada por Rolls‑Royce, que prevé destinar 1.500 millones de libras a esta operación, según adelantó Sky News. La ratificación oficial se conocerá mañana, coincidiendo con la presentación de sus resultados anuales. Este movimiento llega después de que el grupo revisara al alza sus previsiones el pasado ejercicio, impulsado por una evolución financiera más sólida de lo anticipado. Las estimaciones apuntan a que el beneficio operativo subyacente anual se situará entre 3.100 y 3.200 millones de libras, un rango que refuerza la confianza de la dirección en la generación de caja y en la capacidad de retribuir al accionista. Además del impulso interno, la compañía confía en el respaldo institucional para fortalecer sus proyectos estratégicos. De acuerdo con el Financial Times, la empresa espera captar hasta 3.000 millones de libras procedentes de fondos públicos británicos para avanzar en el desarrollo de un nuevo motor aeronáutico. Se trata del programa UltraFan 30, integrado en la familia UltraFan, una arquitectura de última generación diseñada para mejorar la eficiencia y reducir emisiones en la aviación comercial del futuro. Esta apuesta tecnológica es clave dentro del reposicionamiento industrial del grupo. Aunque para muchos la marca evoca los automóviles de lujo asociados históricamente a la realeza y a celebridades, el verdadero peso del negocio se encuentra hoy en la aeronáutica. Las previsiones indican que esta división generará alrededor de 10.000 millones de libras en 2025, cerca de la mitad de los ingresos totales. Conviene recordar que la división de automóviles pertenece a BMW desde 2003, cuando el fabricante alemán adquirió esa rama por 40 millones de libras, desligándola del núcleo industrial centrado en motores y sistemas de potencia. En consecuencia, los motores para aviación civil y militar, junto con los sistemas energéticos, constituyen el eje del negocio actual. La empresa mantiene contratos relevantes con el Gobierno británico, entre ellos el acuerdo Unity con el Ministerio de Defensa, que contempla la gestión de los reactores nucleares de los submarinos de la Royal Navy. Firmado el año pasado por ocho años y valorado en 9.000 millones de libras, se suma a otro contrato de cinco años para el mantenimiento de los motores EJ200 del Eurofighter Typhoon utilizados por la RAF.

Unity among believers was one of Jesus' final prayer requests before He was crucified. Dr. Tony Evans explains how we can see that prayer answered in our lifetime and why real unity is rooted in worship that goes deeper than culture—worship in spirit and truth.

This week we are talking to Michael Leach. Michael served as Assistant to the Head Coach for the Chicago Bears, managed Labor Operations at NFL Headquarters, and become the first ever Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer for the White House under President Joe Biden. He recently released a wonderful book called "Faith Over Fear: Harnessing Resilience in the Face of Uncertainty" and he's joined us today to talk about it. We talk about the fear that comes with major life changes, navigating the complexities of childhood wounds, and how we can be a people who pursue unity without sacrificing our values.

As we continue our series Moving Forward, we look this week at "The Why." We dig in to Luke 15:1-7 as well as Philippians 2:12-18 to see how we as the church should respond to those who don't know Jesus. As the parable of the lost sheep illustrates for us, we should intentionally seek those who don't know Jesus and share God's love with them. But in order to do this, we need to be a united and loving church that Paul describes in Philippians 2. We're glad that you made it to this sermon! We're also available on Youtube.

maybe it's worth collaborating."Hu: Katalin összehúzta szemöldökét.En: Katalin furrowed her eyebrows.Hu: Nem bizonyosodott meg arról, hogy Zsolt szándékai tiszták.En: She wasn't convinced that Zsolt's intentions were pure.Hu: András is hezitált.En: András hesitated as well.Hu: A felfedezést egyedül akarta, Zsoltot pedig messzire tartani.En: He wanted to make the discovery alone and keep Zsolt at a distance.Hu: Ahogy elérkezett a farsang estéje, mindhárman a vár egyik félreeső folyosóján találkoztak.En: As the evening of the farsang arrived, the three of them met in one of the castle's secluded corridors.Hu: Andrásnak végre sikerült bejutnia egy szunnyadó kamrába, melynek falain régi páncélzatok és kincsek porosodtak.En: András had finally managed to enter a dormant chamber where old armors and treasures lay gathering dust.Hu: Egy kopott asztalon barna bársonyalátét alatt valami régóta rejtezhetett.En: On a worn table, beneath a brown velvet cloth, something had been hidden for a long time.Hu: - Nézd, Katalin, megvan!En: "Look, Katalin, it's here!"Hu: - kiáltotta András, amikor óvatosan felemelte az anyag szélét.En: András exclaimed as he carefully lifted the edge of the cloth.Hu: Abban a pillanatban Zsolt lépett elő a félhomályból.En: At that moment, Zsolt stepped forward from the shadows.Hu: Szeme csillogott, ahogy meglátta a kincset.En: His eyes gleamed as he saw the treasure.Hu: - Most mit teszünk?En: "What do we do now?Hu: Megérdemelnék, nemde?En: We deserve it, don't we?"Hu: - kérdezte kihívó hangon.En: he asked challengingly.Hu: Katalin gyorsan közbelépett.En: Katalin quickly intervened.Hu: - Mindhármunknak megvan a maga szerepe itt.En: "Each of us has our role here.Hu: Bármi legyen is ez, együtt kell bemutatnunk.En: Whatever this is, we must present it together.Hu: A történelem fontosabb egyéni dicsőségnél.En: History is more important than individual glory."Hu: András bólintott, végül megnyugodva.En: András nodded, finally feeling at ease.Hu: - Igazad van.En: "You're right.Hu: Együtt fokozhatjuk ezt a felfedezést azzal, hogy megosztjuk.En: Together, we can enhance this discovery by sharing it.Hu: Csak így lehet biztosítani, hogy az értéke fennmarad.En: That's the only way to ensure its value endures."Hu: Végül a három régész közösen mutatta be a felfedezést.En: In the end, the three archaeologists presented the discovery together.Hu: A hírek gyorsan terjedtek, és mindhárman elismerést kaptak.En: The news spread quickly, and all three received recognition.Hu: András megtanulta, hogy az együttműködés néha többet ér, mint bármilyen egyéni siker.En: András learned that cooperation can sometimes be more valuable than any individual success.Hu: Katalin is megértette, hogy a barátság és a történelem szeretete összeegyeztethető.En: Katalin also understood that friendship and a love for history can go hand in hand.Hu: A farsang fényei a Buda várának falairól visszatükröződtek, és a történet egy új fejezete így kezdődött.En: The lights of the farsang reflected off the walls of Buda Castle, and so a new chapter of the story began.

In this moving session of the Way of the Mystic Weekend Online Revival, Jason Warwick leads a deep exploration into the Levels of Mind, demonstrating how a single, heartfelt "yes" to the Divine can collapse the ego's complex architecture of scarcity. The episode features two profound case studies in the practical application of these teachings: the dissolution of the "belief in sacrifice" in a career-defining moment and the undoing of the "self-concept" in the pursuit of romantic love.But at the start, Jeffrey Cosker shares the profound impact of bringing the Levels of Mind teachings into the prison system. An inmate's letter reveals a deep realization: though physically confined, the mind can remain entirely free..Key ThemesThe Architecture of the Soul: A metaphorical look at a cinematic journey where the protagonist must navigate the narrow corridors of his own resistance and denial to find the door to liberation.Transcending the Sacrifice Script: Jason works with a participant to uncover how the ego uses "duty" and "providing" as a golden cage to keep the soul from its true calling.The Illusion of the Whole Person: An examination of how the ego's "self-concept" tricks us into seeking "whole" partners to fill an internal void, rather than recognizing the inherent wholeness of the Spirit.From Getting to Giving: A radical shift in perspective that redefines relationships not as tools for personal completion, but as sacred classrooms for forgiveness and the undoing of fear."The emptiness engendered by fear must be replaced by forgiveness. That is what the Bible means by 'there is no death' and why I could demonstrate that death does not exist." — A Course in MiraclesRecorded Sunday morning, February 15, 2026Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Guest Preacher Joe Davis reminded us that although we're all different, we belong to one body in Christ. Using Paul's message in 1 Corinthians 12, he emphasized that when one person suffers, the whole community feels it—and healing happens when we honor and care for every member, especially those who are hurting or overlooked. His message invited us to see each other's worth, celebrate our differences, and live out a love that heals and unites.

Prayer is the believer's primary weapon and constant lifeline, not a last resort but a first response. It reveals real faith in moments of pressure and should become second nature through ongoing conversation with God and specific requests. Scripture shows that bold, persistent prayer aligns us with God's provision and brings peace, while praying for others strengthens and carries the whole church. Prayer also sharpens spiritual awareness, helping believers see clearly, hear God's direction, and recognize His movement. It requires humility and dependence, reminding us that true power does not come from human effort but from reliance on God. Prayer is both the starting point and sustaining force of the Christian life, positioning us to participate in what only God can accomplish.

Corinthians#2 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 In this sermon, Paul confronts disunity in the Corinthian church. Addressing favoritism, personality-driven loyalty, and spiritual pride. Paul calls believers back to unity centered on Christ alone. This message challenges us to examine our hearts, reject division, and remember that the power of the church is not in personalities-but in the cross.

We live in a divided world. This division exists in our hearts, our families, our neighborhoods and our church. This sermon will focus on how Christ gives us peace and an escape from the hostility that comes from division.

Dr. Don Howell's Sunday morning message from February 22, 2026

Redeye's Ian Mass joins us to talk about calls for unity on the progressive left which heated up this week. Plus he wonders if, after 19 years, a school in Olympic village will finally be approved, and asks if the city is ready for when the FIFA World Cup comes to Vancouver in June. All this and lots more in Ian's regular City Beat report.

In this passage, we are reminded of the necessity to focus on Christ and to allow him to grow us individually and as a church toward a mature unity. The post Unity that results in maturity (Eph. 4:1-16) appeared first on PLEASANT HILL COMMUNITY CHURCH.

The soul and the body “are not two natures united, but rather their union forms a single nature.” The Catechism introduces us to this profound mystery and begins to unpack our nature as a body and as a soul. Fr. Mike shows us how so much pain and confusion in modern times—and indeed throughout history—stems from an attempt to separate these two inseparable parts of our being. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 362-368. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Continuing our series on all things love and relationships for the month of February, this week Jamie sits down with Priscilla Bueno—singer, songwriter, wife, and mom of five—to talk about how to keep your marriage strong while keeping up with the demands of life.Life doesn't pause when marriage gets hard. Kids need attention. Work demands increase. Ministry pulls. Unexpected crises hit. And in the middle of it all, your marriage can either fracture under pressure—or become more unified than ever.In this episode, we're talking about what it really takes to have a unified marriage. Unity isn't the absence of stress; it's the decision to stay aligned when everything around you feels unstable. When chaos hits, you don't just feel stress—you feel the strength (or strain) of your foundation. The person you chose becomes your closest teammate, your spiritual covering, your emotional anchor, and your co-builder. Who you marry will either multiply your calling or compete with it.Make sure you Follow Priscilla onYouTube- https://youtube.com/@priscillabuenooficial?si=L7PSGRQvLo3Lsc2qInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/priscillajimenezbueno?igsh=czlibHF0ZG55N29n
