Octopus camouflage is incredibly hard workOctopuses have the remarkable ability to change their appearance in the blink of an eye – assuming new skin coloration and patterns for camouflage or communication. A new study in the journal PNAS has explored how much energy this takes, and it turns out transforming themselves is a workout harder than you'd ever get at the gym. Dr. Kirt Onthank is a professor of Biology at Walla Walla University and known as The Octopus Guy on social media.Bigger isn't better when it comes to dog brainsDog bodies and brain sizes vary enormously, but a new study comparing dogs' cognitive abilities and personalities with brain size reveals some surprises. The research, led by evolutionary biologist Ana Balcarcel, found that the biggest brains relative to their body sizes belong to the small, anxious, excitable companion dogs, while the trainable, obedient working breeds are not gifted when it comes to volume of brain tissue. The work was published in the journal Biology Letters.This universe is too sparse, this one's too dense, and this one? Well, it'll doOur universe might seem like it's perfectly tuned for life, but when it comes to the role dark energy plays in the emergence of life, it turns out that our universe might not be so special after all. A new study that simulated the development of hypothetical universes with different amounts of dark energy suggests the optimal amount of dark energy to enable the evolution of life is only one-tenth of the density in our universe. Daniele Sorini, a postdoctoral researcher at Durham University and his team published their work in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.  Why a smack on the lips might have come from a snack on a tickLip mashing is an oddity in the animal kingdom. Other than humans, few species have adopted the custom of pressing lips together as a signal of affection. A new theory for why humans kiss suggests it emerged from primate grooming practices, and the lip-lock has its roots in us slurping up parasites we've combed from a companion's fur. Dr. Adriano Lameira, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Warwick published his new hypothesis in the journal Evolutionary Anthropology. Taking out our brains' trash may be key to maintaining a healthy brainSome scientists think it's possible that a host of neurological disorders, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's, could be connected to problems with the way the brain rids itself of metabolic waste. A couple of recent studies in Nature are helping this longstanding puzzle about how this waste removal system works and what we might be able to do about it when it doesn't. A study published in Nature describes how synchronized electrical waves help flush the waste out when we sleep. Jonathan Kipnis, a neuroimmunologist from Washington University in St. Louis, said our neurons that are driving this waste removal system through what's known as the glymphatic system. A separate study of how gamma frequency stimulation, at 40 cycles per second, can kickstart gamma waves that are compromised in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Li-Huei Tsai, a neuroscientist from MIT, said they found this stimulation flushes out beta-amyloid peptides in the brains of mice that would otherwise build up and form plaques which are the hallmark of diseased Alzheimer's brains.

This Quoircast episode is brought to you by The Seeds of De(con)struction by Nat Turney. Published by Quoir and available nowIn this episode we talk with Niq RuudNiq Ruud, whose unique name bears the influence of a father's quirky spelling but is pronounced akin to a beloved Christmas saint, is a true Pacific Northwesterner at heart. Growing up amidst the scenic wonders of the region, Niq developed a passion for outdoor activities, embracing pursuits such as alpine climbing, sailing, surfing, skiing, cycling, and more. Niq's academic journey led to a profound exploration of religion. Graduating from Walla Walla University with a focus on this field, Niq took on the role of a pastor while concurrently pursuing theological studies at Grand Canyon Theological Seminary. Currently a postgraduate student at the University of Edinburgh, Niq delves into the intricate intersectionality between philosophy, science, and religion, with a particular focus on the human perception of God. A polymath at heart, Niq's intellectual interests span a wide array of subjects, including religious pluralism, philosophy of science and religion, eschatology, diversity, and ethics. These diverse pursuits converge around the central theme of understanding how humanity perceives the divine. Niq is also a published author, having penned a book titled "Only Love: How Everything Was, Is, and Will Be." This work advocates for a broad-minded perspective on God and, consequently, a more inclusive outlook on human relationships. Niq's writing encourages readers to embrace a more open-minded view of spirituality, fostering understanding and unity among individuals. The author holds a genuine affection for the book and invites others to explore its pages, suggesting that they might find resonance with its message of love and inclusivity.You can follow Niq on:Facebook     Twitter     InstagramYou can find all things Niq Ruud related on his websiteCheck out his TedTalk HEREYou can purchase Only Love on Amazon.comYou can connect with This Is Not Church on:Facebook     Instagram      Twitter     TikTok     YouTubeAlso check out our Linktree for all things This Is Not Church relatedPlease like and follow our Quoircast Partners:Heretic Happy Hour     Messy Spirituality     Apostates Anonymous    Second Cup with Keith     The Church Needs TherapyIdeas Digest     The New Evangelicals     Snarky Faith Podcast     Wild Olive     Deadly FaithJonathan Foster     Sacred Thoughts     Holy Heretics     Reframing Our StoriesEach episode of This Is Not Church Podcast is expertly engineered by our producer The Podcast Doctor Eric Howell.

The Wall Street Journal found that the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted journalism jobs would decline by 4.8% by 2030, after already shrinking from nearly 66,000 news analysts, reporters and journalists in 2000 to 52,000 in 2019. Nate Barrett is a former award-winning news anchor & corporate communications manager. He started Dashti Media with his wife, Kezhal, after seeing a need in the business world for the TV process & talent. Nate has more than a decade of broadcasting experience as a news anchor and reporter in local news markets across Washington, Wisconsin, and Texas. His passion for journalism started at a young age and he won his first broadcast award while he was still in college. After leaving TV news, Nate went to corporate communications, working with some of the biggest companies in the United States. That experience opened his eyes to the world of business and made him want to pursue entrepreneurship. When he's not recording videos or coming up with new ideas for the business, he enjoys sports and spending time with his two dogs.

In this episode we talk with Niq Ruud. Niq's bio in his own words: The funky spelling is my dad's fault, but it's just pronounced like your favorite Christmas saint. I grew up in the good ole Pacific Northwest which means I like doing stuff outside—alpine climbing, sailing, surfing, skiing, cycling, et cetera. I studied religion in college (Walla Walla University), worked as a pastor while I went to seminary (Grand Canyon Theological Seminary), and now I'm a postgrad studying the intersectionality between philosophy, science, and religion (University of Edinburgh). I'm interested in lots of things, including religious pluralism, philosophy of science and religion, eschatology, diversity, and ethics, which all gravitate around the human perception of God. I wrote a book about God too, it's called Only Love: How Everything Was, Is, and Will Be. It basically advocates for a more open-minded view of God and, subsequently, a more inclusive view of each other. I like it. You might too.

My name is Keyonia Williams and I'm originally from Newark, NJ and it was there that I was able to grow, learn, and develop a strong cultural identity and sense of black pride. From a very young age, I knew that I wanted to do something that would help enrich and empower the lives of others. I've always had a passion for underserved and unprivileged communities of people. This is one of the things that lead me to study social work. I graduated from Walla Walla University in 2008 with my Bachelor's degree in Social Work and in 2009 with my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work. I have spent the last 15 years in the mental health field in a number of different capacities. I have provided home visiting services to families involved with the Department of Human Services providing them with the skills to become self-sufficient and independent. I have also worked as a foster home advocate managing and licensing foster and adoptive homes. During that time, I provided home studies for international adoptions as well. I have taught parenting classes and provided individual parent coaching for parents with small children as well. As a mental health therapist, I have been providing counseling services to families and individuals struggling with trauma, abuse, and addiction issues. I have also facilitated trauma recovery groups. My strengths include working with individuals who struggle with depression, PTSD, anxiety, grief & loss, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. I currently specialize in culturally specific counseling, coaching, and consulting for individuals, groups, organizations, and families. I believe in the power of change and that is what motivates me to continue to do this work. My goal is to serve my community by educating, supporting, and empowering. Therefore, my approach is to help each person, family, or organization to reach their highest potential. Learn more...

Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish. ~ Proverbs 18:13 (NLT) It happens far too often. Someone goes on a rant and people take what they are saying as fact and begin rants of their own. This happened in the past when Walla Walla University was the target of one such rant. A person found a listing of the university church on a website that is not in line with SDA theology. Immediately, the person leapt to conclusions that the university church was somehow partnering with a ministry that was somewhat shady. An article was written and it was shared, and seen, hundreds of thousands of times. People were outraged that the university could do such a thing. People started calling for the entire pastoral team there to be fired. They also turned their vitriol on the university itself. Some even called for shutting down the university all-together, as it was a bastion of inappropriate theological teaching and was, therefore, brain washing our young people. There was a small problem with all of this. The article was flat out false. It made a huge assumption that the university church, and the university itself, were tied to this other ministry when it couldn't be farther from the truth. Yes, their name did appear on the other ministry's website, but the university team was completely unaware it was listed there. Once they were made aware, they contacted the offending ministry to remove their name from the list of sponsoring organizations and it was immediately taken down. No one bothered to contact the university our church to dialog with them about the perceived issue. No one contacted the offending ministry to see if the name listed there was legit or a mistake. But, everyone who participated in spreading the propaganda immediately went on the attack with zero factual information. People, please, I beg of you, take this verse to heart, “Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.” Not only does it reflect poorly on each of us, it also reflects poorly on the church, and our Christ. We must do our own research. We must not just take someone's word for it. We must check their sources for ourselves. We should read articles that offer different points of view. We must use the brain that God has given each of us. #God #Jesus #Bible #Christian #Devotional

Like and Subscribe! Not just on YouTube but on every platform streaming podcasts. This is the fifth episode of a series that goes a step above, looking into the experiences and passions of the student missions coordinators of the Adventist universities all over America. We get to see what drives them to serve, and what has kept them in their fields for so long. Andrea Keele, the coordinator for missions at Walla Walla, brings her experience and perspectives to the pod, showing how the little things can change lives. Having been involved with the missions department in the North American Division, she's been able to witness a lot and gives us an even broader view of missions and service. *Disclaimer: The original intent was to interview all of the coordinators back to back, and then immediately publish their episodes. Instead, I severely underestimated the ability to get everyone free in the same ballpark, and it ended up taking several months to actually interview each of the 6 coordinators. As a result, the timelines don't sync up as per my original intention. However, this doesn't take away at all from the experiences and the impact that these awesome individuals have had, and will continue to have while leading their institutions in the inspiration of future missionaries and servants for Jesus.

Leading Question: How does one experience the Sabbath as a gift instead of a test? I am intrigued by the fact that a lesson on “Sabbath” is included in this series on “Education.” Maybe because university life is so intense that the editor decided that it would be good to focus on the blessing of the sabbath. I recall a story told me by a colleague in the English Department at Walla Walla University. When she was in graduate school she had been with a group of fellow graduate students on Friday afternoon. As sundown approached, she began to put her ...

In this episode, the IRC team discusses the infusion of other religious practices into important components of our Indigenous identity. The episode starts with a hymn called X̣alips Č̓awm (Daylights Prayer) sung by Joe Woodcock, Mary Ann Combs, Mary Finley & Joe Eneas (Salish & Pend d'Oreille). The hymn is used during the Salish wake service. The Hymn is sung after the night-long vigil ends and just before the first light of the day. Designated people would sit with the deceased through the night, praying and singing hymn to ensure that the ‘evil ones' that move around at night don't disrupt the prayers and offerings left for the family. The tune for this hymn is a traditional Salish song adapted by Father Mengarini to a Catholic prayer sometime between 1841 and 1850 during his time at St. Marys Mission in the Bitterroot Valley. The IRC team is also joined by a special guest, Jason HeavyRunner (Salish/Piikani). Jason is serving on the IRC's advisory board and currently works for. He holds a Masters of Arts in Social Work from Walla Walla University. He is working as a Foster Care Permanency Planner for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Jason has maintained a balance of participation in his tribal customs from both his parent and has gained knowledge from his travel to the Tribal communities across the West.The IRC team continues the discussion after listening to a clip of Johnny Arlee (Salish) singing Qeqs nkʷneyi Sent Susep (Sing with us Saint Joseph) around 1997. This hymn was used for the feast days for Saint Joseph, the son of Jacob and descendent of King David. It is probably that this hymn was also arranged by Mengarini from a traditional Salish song. There is no records to prove it yet it has a sound that resembles that of the genre of Salish music. The first priests to encounter the Salish understood the importance of music and songs in daily life and used it as a tool to achieve their goals. It was noted that “for the Flathead, the most important single fact about music and its relationship to the total world is its origins in the supernatural sphere.” This fits well with the Catholic worldview and facilitated the learning and blending of Salish and Gregorian liturgical hymns.The discussion centers around questions such as "Can these infused religious practices be replaced with traditions that existed before them?" "How is our current identity defined by part of other introduced practices?" "Will the next generation maintain these blended practices or will something else evolve?" Have answers? Suggestions?

For our Ministering Under Quarantine series finale, I talk with Jonny Moor, a pastor in the Oregon Conference. He spoke frankly about a call to a new church that disappeared and how his ideas about ministry have changed. A graduate of Walla Walla University, Johnny holds an MDiv from Andrews University where he is currently completing a doctor of ministry in discipleship and biblical spirituality. Jonny and his wife Heather host the Your Movie Hour podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/your-movie-hour/id1477500729

In this episode, the IRC team begins to discuss how social order, manners, cooperation, and identity are maintained through traditional songs. The recent advent of the "Owl Dance" is discussed as an evolved dance that stems from victory in war and the quest for love. The IRC team is also joined by a special guest, Jason HeavyRunner (Salish/Piikani). Jason is serving on the IRC's advisory board and currently works for. He holds a Masters of Arts in Social Work from Walla Walla University. He is working as a Foster Care Permanency Planner for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Jason has maintained a balance of participation in his tribal customs from both his parent and has gained knowledge from his travel to the Tribal communities across the West. The Owl Dance was explained by Louis J. Tellier, an announcer at a celebration in Arlee Montana in 1958, as originating from the Gros Ventre back in 1910. For reference, James Teit, while visiting Montana in the early 1900's, collected material from Salish informants Michel Revais. Revais explained that the Owl Dance is looked upon as distinctly a woman's dance, and is said to have been introduced from the Eastern Tribes around 1870. The Team uses these understandings to further discuss how songs and dances broker the exchange of manners to foster cooperation between tribal groups and within tribes. The discussion of songs as a necessary means to facilitate good feelings and to pass along news of victories in war was purposefully the maintenance of identity.Further, some claim that the Owl Dance was of Cree origin and others say that it came from the Crow. In 1910, another informant noted that the dance was called the “Choosing Dance” from the fact that either a man or woman chose a partner. As a side note, the Gros Ventre, according to Rodnick (1978), received the Owl Dance from the Sioux around 1920. The dance was based on a victory social dance and the songs that were used at the time were based on the defeating of the Germans in WWI. Also, Rodnick explained that the Assiniboine received the Omaha Dance from the Sioux in 1872. This provides for further discussion centered on the reality that, with termination and assimilation policies from the Federal Government, many Native people are of split Tribal identity. This reality creates a potential for discrimination and exclusion within our Tribal societies. How can songs and customs evolve to continue to manage and create social order to mitigate this reality? Have answers? Suggestions? Agree? Disagree?

We're joined by Erin Riley and talk about the Adventist Church vs itself, evangelicals vs Civil Rights Act, US Attorney vs Catholic Church, Oklahoma vs abortion, pharmacist vs miscarriage drugs, exorcist vs witches. Dustin' off the Degree - Who holds the power in the Adventist Church? The Seventh-day Adventist Church employees representative democracy as it's form of governance. In local congregations send delegates to the conference held for their state or region, that conference sends delegates to a union conference covering a collection of states or countries, and they send delegates to the General Conference. At each level they elect leaders, usually pastors, to run the church at their level. Interestingly, the official organization has the same name as the meeting, whether it's the Idaho Conference or the General Conference. Doctrine is also decided by majority vote at a general conference. This differs from say the Mormon church, where the global organization is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and their big meeting is the General Conference. Mormon doctrine is also decided by the prophet and the highest leaders. The actual Adventist leadership operates much more in a top down manner where the leaders at each level report to their superiors at the next higher level. Each local conference is also a corporation that owns all of the property. So while the members of Adventist churches from across Southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon elect the Idaho Conference leadership, it's the Idaho Conference that owns each congregations church building and all of the primary and secondary schools. The North Pacific Union Conference owns Walla Walla University where all of the teachers are trained, and the General Conference owns Andrews University which houses the seminary where all of the pastors get their Masters of Divinity degrees. This is a system that was developed reluctantly because Adventists tend to be a paranoid bunch. Prior to the formal incorporation of the church in 1863 one member in each congregation held the deed for the church building they met in. This was because the members didn't trust religious organizations. After enough elders left the movement and took the buildings with them, they finally decided it would be better to have a corporation that could hold the title deeds. That distrust hasn't gone away and the higher up the chain a leader or organization is, the less the members tend to trust them interestingly, this also applies to what level in the church education institutions are attached to. There's also the issue of the mission field. At this point less than 1 million of the 21 million members of the Adventist church are in the United States, yet the Americans hold almost all of the power. For example, with only two exceptions every General Conference President has been an American, all have been white, and at least for the last 100 years they have all served as pastors and administrators in the mission field, which tends to be far more conservative than the church in the US. There was a notable push in the 1980s to make the church as a whole more conservative under the leadership of Neal C Wilson, and now there is a similar push to drive out the heresies of evolution and the ordination of women under the leadership of Ted N C Wilson. So, who hold the power? We will see the the current controversy plays out. NEWS Unity through Division http://bit.ly/an274-germany-sda http://bit.ly/an274-africa-sda In addition to this, Let's talk more about the the ongoing controversy in the Seventh-day Adventist church over attempts by the General Conference Executive Committee to bring the Union Conferences that are ordaining women into compliance with the policy that says that only men can be ordained. The North German and South German Union Conferences issued a joint statement expressing their concerns with these actions.

David Bullock is the author of Coal Wars: Unions, Strikes, and Violence in Depression-Era Central Washington (Washington State University Press, 2014). Bullock is professor and is the chair of the Communications and Languages Department at Walla Walla University. Coal Wars is at once a political history, a regional history, and a labor organizing history. Through archival research and interviews, Bullock tells the story of Roslyn, Washington and neighboring mining towns of Cle Elem and Ronald. In the 1930s, these towns were at the center of highly disputed labor negotiation that spiraled into heated argument and later violence. At the center is the national union, the United Miners Union of America, and the local upstart Western Miners Union of America, that decided to strike in 1934. Bullock weaves together a historical narrative that informs about the internal conflicts in the labor movement and how national politics affected this region of the country.
