Attorney Jonathan Berry explains the legal and constitutional challenges to the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, and he clarifies the status of these challenges in the federal courts to date. UPDATE: Just hours after this interview was recorded, a three-judge panel of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the Biden vaccine mandate. Boyden Gray filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court within 45 minutes of that ruling.
Who are our role models? Who do we want to emulate? When we search for human connecting and find that acceptance through someone who attitudes and behaviors are destructive, it becomes easy to justify their behaviors by following their example. In this episode we hear the MY STORY of Jack Hoke who gained his sense of worth in all the wrong places. From addictions, criminality, and dealing drugs Jack found a void inside that nothing could fill. His journey led him to AA and a new role model. Today Jack’s goal in life is to be a “hope dealer” and go to places others fear to tread. Update: Just three months after this interview Jack passed. A horribly sad loss.
Hello Runners! Welcome and I hope you are all healthy and well. So, as we all are enjoying whatever we can during pandemic summer, it appears it is not going away any time soon. Though businesses, retail and some restaurants are opening, more and more running races are cancelled this year. It is safe to say; the 2020 running race season is all but done. I think we all understand and accept that. UPDATE: Just this morning, prior to releasing this episode, the New York Marathon was cancelled. It is all but a given that Chicago and most likely Marine Corps Marathon will follow soon. My friend Michelle and I are a 2-person relay team participating in the (https://ultrasignup.com/results/self_record.aspx?dtid=41634&vid=7f6917ac-f0fe-447d-8f9b-440468bb53c9) ! We are also doing a weekly Podcast for the Virtual Colorado Trail Challenge, which include updates and some very interesting guests. (https://feeds.captivate.fm/virtual-colorado-trail-challange/) to listen and even learn a little about the Colorado Trail. If you have been listening to my podcast for some time, you will know that late last year and January of this year, I had a monthly “minisode” episode on some inspirational and motivating running news. Well due to the pandemic, there has been no running news. That is unless you want to hear about three thousand virtual races, race cancellations or people running races in their backyards, balcony or living room. So after looking around for a few months, I found three wonderful running news stories to bring you. I know you are going to enjoy each of them. They really are motivating and inspirational. I'm so honored that The Feel Good Running Podcast is growing due to you listeners. I cannot thank you enough. I do receive feedback and one common response is that this podcast is sporadic and not on a firm schedule. Well, that changes now.

Common sense is not so common, right? I wished it was, as it would make my life much easier... Well, there ain't much we can do but ask people to improve, is there? This is a SOFT RANT, which means I managed not to curse and keep my temper throughout the recording, as what you're getting is my raw, unedited footage. Hope you start using those heads, fellas! ==UPDATE== Just realised the episode got held back because of some audit my account at Anchor.fm was through, so I'm sorry for that. It was out of my control. Have fun and enjoy life, ladies and gentlemen. :) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/portugal-whatlife/message
The compelling case for reimagining schools is not difficult to make. It's a combination of common sense and a clear understanding of how the changes in the world are creating new challenges and opportunities for learners both in and out of school. In other words, the compelling case is built on a sense of urgency that comes both from what we know and what we don't know. That's the discussion that Bruce Dixon and I are having in this our 54th episode of the Modern Learners Podcast as we get back behind the microphones after a short hiatus for travel and invention. If you're looking for some really challenging conversation about the purpose of schools and what the future requires of our kids, I'm thinking you'll really enjoy this discussion. Just to whet your appetite a bit, here's a quote from a powerful speech we reference from Carol Black: So, one of the weirdest characteristics of education in our society, and there are a lot of them, but one of the very weirdest, a lot of indigineous people from around the world will tell you, is that our approach to education is extraordinarily authoritarian. It is obsessed with compulsion and control. So the child in a modern classroom, may not move, speak, sing, laugh, eat, drink, read, write, think her own thoughts, look out the window, or even use the toilet without explicit permission from an authority figure. (UPDATE: Just realized that most of this speech is adapted from her post "A Thousand Rivers.") And, from Yuval Harari's new book: The best advice I can give a 15-year-old is: don’t rely on the adults too much. Most of them mean well, but they just don’t understand the world. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comment thread below. Enjoy!

(https://alwaysalesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/carmin-adams.jpg) Carmin Adams is an 11 year veteran and currently a third teacher at Belmont Central Elementary in Gaston County Schools right here in North Carolina. She is a graduate of Gaston County Schools and Belmont Abbey College! She is a proud mother of a beautiful sixteen year old and loves traveling! The main factor that influenced Carmin to become a teacher was the opportunity to interact with students and to impact them positively. Prior to teaching in the classroom, she served as a Computer Lab Specialist which provided the opportunity to work with all elementary grade levels, and assist in building technology based lessons for their curriculum. In addition to teaching over 350 students weekly on technology skills; Carmin collaborated and planned with all grade level teachers on how to incorporate and teach integrated technology lessons. She also served as Teacher Assistant of the Year during that time. She has served in several leadership positions, including: Benchmark Writing Team, Curriculum Revision Team for Elementary, MTSS Chair, Lead Teacher for 3rd Grade Summer Reading Program -Summer School, NCDPI Focus Teacher Group for Gaston County, Math Curriculum Revision Team, County Grading Practice Committee, Pinnacle Leader and also currently serves as a member of the Gaston County Teacher Induction Program for Success Committee. This committee serves teacher their first three years in the profession. Carmin is a highly motivated, outgoing and a creative individual who believes in accomplishing goals and objectives. She has learned to manage her time, work as a team and how to face new challenges. She believes in teaching others as well as learning with others. She believes if we give a child information, he may know it for a test. But if we teach a child the joy of learning, he will learn for life! She strives to empower students to take ownership over their learning! Update- Just announced… Carmin received Teacher of the Year for the entire Gaston County School District!!

We'll discuss the following questions from listeners in this episode of the Taste for Truth Podcast: How to tame the sweets monster and change our thinking in the area of those foods we have a hard time saying no to How to change our desires and get to those root lies that fuel our desires (see below for something I forgot to add to the podcast on this) What to do when you have group accountability and everyone else is breaking your boundaries, but you're following them. How to choose boundaries when part of me wants them and part of me doesn't want them. How to go from dieting to lifelong boundaries when they look and feel like the same thing. Things I forgot to say on the podcast: Whenever I do a podcast like this, I often think of things I should have said afterward, but it's too hard to go back in and retape it to include those things--so when that happens (and it will only happen on podcasts that I do myself rather than interviews), I'll include that info on the blog post! I realized afterward that I might not have fully answered Karina's question. The way you get to the bottom line lie is to keep journaling about the same things over and over again - the more you renew your mind about them, the more the lies will be revealed. Here's an example: In Taste for Truth Bible Study, I ask people to do the "I'll Start Tomorrow" questions probably 4 or 5 times in a week-long period. One woman told me that the assignment really annoyed her, but she did it, and every time she answered the questions God seemed to give her a new layer of truth, revealing more insights. I also find that sometimes when I'm truth journaling, God will reveal another lie I believe while I'm journaling the truth. When He does that, I just write it down and journal the truth for that lie as well. In those situations, I don't realize I'm believing that lie until halfway through the journaling process. I also wanted to mention that I also stop podcasts when I'm listening to them and someone shares an insight that's helpful to me. So for example, when I was listening to the podcast I mentioned on today's episode, I stopped the podcast and thought about how those insights from Peter related to weight loss and also to my own life in the things I want to change and talked to God about that for a bit. When I was through, I turned the podcast back on and continued listening. I might have paused it 3 or 4 times during the podcast to talk to God. So anyway, I hope those things are helpful. I'll be doing another Ask Barb Podcast on November 1st to finish up the questions from this podcast, so let me know if you have any questions by emailing me through the contact tab at barbraveling.com. Update: Just wanted to let you guys know I listened to the interview with Peter Shankman again the other day and wanted to encourage you to listen to it as well. I really think it's helpful for weight loss as well even though the podcast is on productivity!

In other celebrity news, check out Chuckanut Radio Hour. Our favorite events tip: People shouldn’t be calling to ask if there’s an author event tonight, they should be calling to ask what the event tonight is. (hat tip to the fine folk at Elliott Bay Book Company [Kim pumps her fists in victory, even though she has absolutely nothing to do with events at EBBC]) Originally posted by mtv So, yeah, you should check out Village Books’ event schedule, ‘cause it’s pretty great. Chapter II [33:37] In Which Sam Builds Us His Wheelhouse, Discusses e-Reading, and Emma and Kim think dedicated e-readers are necessary for e-reading. You can buy one here. [sign from @wordbookstores] Kim can’t count. “A novel trying to answer big difficult questions and not necessarily succeeding but at least giving it a go.” = 19 words, not 16, but Sam still succeeded in the 20 Word Wheelhouse Challenge Emma will read anything blurbed by Kelly Link.

Emma has lost all respect for Sam. We move on (kind of).

You should probably follow us on Twitter @drunkbookseller if you’re not doing so already. We’re pretty okay. Emma tweets @thebibliot and writes nerdy bookish things for Book Riot.
