Is the source of yearning for connection on a human level the same as longing for God on a spiritual level? The urge for connection is pre-thought, pre-psychological. It begins at birth when we first experience separateness. Practice is about patterning the nervous system to let go. When we can sit in the center of the storm of our feelings, we can be with suffering and with "what is" in a way that does not seek fulfillment. To come to acceptance doesn't always happen gracefully. To go fully into yearning—a process that happens over and over—leads to shattering, which is a doorway to reassembling without the same identification. We may yearn for love and project that we'll be satisfied on a human level and find that we long for love on a much deeper level. Acceptance of every part of us, and of the masculine and feminine, brings us to the next level. Suffering doesn't end when we accept suffering, but something shifts. Longing and suffering co-exist. It feels different when we are able to ride the waves of heartbreak. The ability to hold personal and universal suffering is needed in the world. Hate is projection of suffering onto others; realizing this helps us to be compassionate. Clinging is part of life and never disappears, but our work with it can be incorporated into practice. We need a strong matrix to hold longing. In each incarnation we may have one destiny to fulfill, which involves use of the body. We don't read a book to experience the wine; we empty our cup and drink the wine. Longing is satisfied in the longing itself. Letting go of expectations opens us to a commitment to love. We can work with desire and identity, letting go again and again. To honor longing is not a casual choice.

A report conducted by Implement Consulting Group and commissioned by Google examines a highly important group of companies termed 'innovative digital businesses'. Delivered in partnership with Scale Ireland, the event aims to promote discussion around the opportunity of AI for Ireland's indigenous tech start-up and scale-up companies. Innovative digital businesses are defined as businesses likely to have digital technology at their core and a scalable business model less than 30 years old. They fall into one of three categories: startups (2-49 employees), scaleups (50-500 employees), or grownups (over 500 employees). The economic role of digital innovative businesses Innovative digital businesses play an outsized role in the Irish economy, paying higher average wages than other businesses. While these businesses have accounted for 4% of private sector job growth since 2017, they have created fewer jobs in Ireland compared to other EU countries. In Denmark, for example, these businesses account for 11% of new jobs, and in Sweden, they account for 13%. The use of AI in innovative digital businesses Innovative digital businesses are key to capturing the AI opportunity and closing Europe's competitiveness gap. These businesses are 50% more likely to create radical innovations and play a crucial role in the early diffusion of new technologies, such as generative AI. These businesses develop new AI tools, in turn enabling businesses across sectors to benefit from the new technology. The potential of scaling innovative digital businesses Ireland has a strong ecosystem of innovative businesses, with 56 innovative digital businesses per 100,000 working-age adults compared to the EU average of 19. If Ireland can transform more startups into grownups, reaching the same relative levels as the three leading OECD countries, it could create 14,000 jobs and contribute €1.8 billion annually to the Irish economy. James Lawless TD, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science said: "It is essential that businesses are supported in the adoption of AI. This includes tailored support for start-ups and scale-ups, but the foundation of all this is people and the skills they bring to bear. My Department is acutely focused on Ireland's future skills needs. This includes expanding digital upskilling and reskilling opportunities through initiatives like Springboard+, MicroCreds, apprenticeships, and others. Together, with the right capital, the right infrastructure, and most importantly, the right skills, Ireland is ready not just to adopt AI - but to lead in shaping it." Vanessa Hartley, Head of Google Ireland, said: "This is a transformative opportunity for Ireland to leverage AI to secure our position as a global leader in technology. To fully realise AI's potential, Ireland should seek to enhance the conditions that support businesses to increase AI adoption and scale successfully. Google Ireland is committed to continuing its role in supporting Ireland's competitiveness in these crucial areas." Marina Fitzgerald, CEO of Scale Irelan,d added: "Scale Ireland is hugely positive about the potential economic and societal benefits of AI, which is being deployed by the vast majority of our members. This report is very timely as it highlights the opportunity for Ireland to create a supportive environment so indigenous tech companies can leverage AI to drive innovation, economic growth and competitiveness. Put simply, we need to create the conditions to support and match the global ambition of our founders." Report recommendations The report sets out five areas of focus for Ireland to support the scaling of these businesses: Build an AI-empowered workforce by investing in skills and training systems, treating AI as a core component of the education system. Widening access to state-of-the-art AI tools, digital infrastructure and compute power. Invest in research and development by investing in long-term AI research and encour...

On today's podcast, I chat with two brilliant IFS lead trainers, Pam Krause and Crystal Jones. We learn about their journeys to becoming IFS lead trainers, the evolution of the model's cultural awareness and inclusivity, and what it's been like to co-lead the newly updated IFS Online Circle together. We also dip our toes into a little controversy—should we skip the 6Fs? I loved hearing from them what it means to stay grounded in the core of the model while continuing to expand and evolve with care, community, and curiosity. Key Takeaways: “The core of the model has not changed at all.” Pam and Crystal reflect on how the IFS model has stayed steady while the perspectives, voices, and applications have continued to expand. How do different cultures experience Self Energy? What happens when we listen for joy, dance, chi, and loyalty as expressions of Self? How the model is evolving as more identities enter the space, adding richness and context. The 6 F's: should we still teach them? Pam and Crystal give context, clarity, and some new language around how and why the F's are helpful—especially for beginners. How the model teaches the steps to reach clients' protectors. We also explore mentoring, teaching, and the beautiful full-circle (pun intended!) relationship Pam and Crystal have developed through years of working together. Favorite Quote: “People are saying how they want to see themselves in the model, right? They want to see how it applies to them. And if we are not aware of our clients' identities, then we might miss it if we're looking for the eight C's.” – Crystal Jones

"This is a doomed policy, as the markets are showing." Trump's trade war engulfs markets this week, as tariffs on Canada and Mexico as well as steel and aluminium imports, and the communication surrounding them, create absolute chaos for investors. Meanwhile, the bloodbath for federal workers continues with the Education Department set to cut almost half its workforce with an aim toward vanishing entirely. Also discussing the elimination of Biden's EPA directives, a potential Ukraine ceasefire, protestor and immigration arrests, and Elon Musk's business empire on shaky ground.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The following article of the Tech industry is: “Without Effective Training, Automation Risks Widening Skills Gap” by Nicholas Falgiatano, Managing Director, Sandvik Coromant Mexico.

Latest out of America - the US Department of Education has announced plans to slash about half of its workforce, in what appears to be an intermediate step as President Donald Trump considers an executive order that would shut it down altogether. This follows just after Trump’s recent joint address to Congress, where he repeated claims about wasteful spending, touted divisive executive actions and said he’s “just getting started.” Is Trump widening the political divide between the Republicans & Democrats?

What's the best way to get to DIA? The A Line is not the most accessible option for everyone, and Peña Boulevard always seems to be slammed with traffic. With the airport already crazy crowded, and plans in the works for even more growth, city and airport leaders have been talking a lot over the past few years about expanding the highway. But then last week, the expansion proposal hit a roadblock, with City Council postponing a vote on a key contract. So today, we're sharing a conversation we had back in August 2023 with Denver Post reporter Jon Murray about why this highway expansion is so controversial.  DIA celebrated its 30th anniversary last week, with airport officials announcing plans for $12.8 billion worth of improvements and expansions over the next 12 years, including a seventh runway.  What do you think should be done about the airport commute problem?

For years homeowners' insurance was just there. It was a safety net in the background, ready to catch someone when disaster struck. But now, that net is fraying, and homeowners are scrambling to understand why coverage is becoming so expensive — or in some areas, nearly impossible to obtain.Homeowners across the country — especially in wildfire-prone states like California — are seeing their premiums skyrocket, their policies canceled, or, in some cases, they are left without any options at all. Insurers too are feeling the pressure. For years, they relied on traditional risk models to calculate premiums, issue policies, and assume predictable loss patterns. But the landscape is changing. Rising claims, extreme weather events, and economic pressures are pushing the industry to a breaking point.At the center of this crisis is a fundamental question: how does the industry adapt to a world with accelerating natural hazard risk?

After back-to-back warm winters, this year's brutally cold showing has rapidly depleted Lower 48 natural gas inventories, flipping them from surplus to deficit and creating a challenging outlook for the upcoming injection season. With storage now sitting below five-year averages and record LNG exports consuming more supply, the market faces a steeper climb to rebuild stocks amid caution by producers to bring on more supply. A hot summer could siphon gas away from injections to make the task harder. NGI's Leticia Gonzales, managing director of North American natural gas pricing, and senior markets editor Chris Newman examine the market's dramatic shift from surplus to deficit, producers' restraint despite higher prices, and the impact of structural LNG demand growth on domestic markets. They also look ahead to how the evolving market fundamentals could shape gas prices through summer and into winter 2025/26.

Robert Gagnon is the most prolific scholar of sexuality in scripture. This past fall, well-known New Testament scholar, Richard Hays, published The Widening of God's Mercy, co-authored with his son Christopher (an Old Testament professor at Fuller Seminary).

Today, Chuck is joined by Ben Hunt, the creator of Epsilon Theory. Their conversation revolves around the concept of the Widening Gyre, a “profound social equilibrium where bad people and bad ideas drive out good people and good ideas.” They discuss this concept from a few different angles: How it relates to top-down systems like America's political systems and corporations. How it has led to the loss of a national narrative and increased division and conflict. How a community-based approach that focuses on doing the right thing today is the best way out.

It's a big week in Houston with NAPE in town, and we were thrilled to welcome our good friend David Bat, President of Kimberlite Research, for an in-depth discussion of the latest OFS activity, trends, and technologies. David joined Kimberlite in 2015 and holds over 30 years of experience spanning upstream, power, and oilfield research. Kimberlite is a global oil and gas market research and consulting firm that gathers insights from more than 20,000 hours of annual interviews with industry professionals to analyze market trends and benchmark performance for oilfield equipment and service providers. We were excited to hear David's perspectives on the evolving OFS landscape.In our conversation, David provides background on Kimberlite's unique approach to gathering high-quality data from E&P operators and oilfield service users worldwide. He explains how their methodology offers deeper insights into technology adoption, service quality, and operational performance and walks us through key slides from a presentation (full version linked here). We explore recent technological advancements including rotary steerable systems improving drilling efficiency, self-oriented perforating guns enhancing completion effectiveness, and advancements in electric submersible pumps. We discuss how digitalization, software applications, and AI-driven analytics are reshaping oilfield operations as well as trends in frac technology, oilfield electrification, and shifts in fuel choices. David shares factors driving operator recommendations and highlights the contrast between North American and international markets, the potential for unconventional growth in Argentina, Australia, and the Middle East, the resurgence of offshore developments, and the challenges that prevent certain innovations from gaining widespread traction. We explore broader key industry themes, including consolidation trends in oilfield services, how company culture influences service provider success, the growing role of mobile power solutions across both oil and gas and non-energy sectors, and AI's role in data aggregation, market intelligence, and operational decision-making. We end by asking David for his vision of the oil and gas services industry in the next decade. This is where he makes a great comment about "differentiation and an improving competitive moat" around the best companies. It was a wide-ranging and thought-provoking discussion and we're very grateful to David for sharing his expertise with us.

There's been a lot to talk about in the stock market this week. But Steve and Steve have a lot more on their minds than just the latest news from DeepSeek.  Rentokil launched an unscheduled trading update this week. Things are going fine, but there's a change in leadership in the US part of the business.   Investors reacted well to the news. But with organic revenues only growing in line with inflation, is Steve W as impressed as the rest of the market? Alexandria Real Estate's latest report showed decent growth for a REIT focused on pharmaceutical companies. But the stock fell as a result. Steve D owns this one and is considering adding to it. The thing to keep an eye on is when the current rental contracts expire.  Tesla's latest update was not good – in fact, it was the opposite of that. Despite the firm managing record deliveries, revenues fell due to heavy discounting.  Does it matter, though? With robotaxis set to launch in Austin in June (apparently) might it be the case that car sales just aren't that important to the business? A strong update from Meta has seen the share price climb. Revenues are climbing, profits are up, and the company continues to invest for future growth.  Somehow, the number of users on the company's platforms keeps increasing as well. So should investors just ignore Reality Labs burning a hole in the profits? A.G. Barr continues on its way. Widening margins mean that 5% revenue growth has translated into double digit growth in earnings per share.  Steve W has been watching this one with some interest over the last six months or so. With the stock still where it was when he first looked, is he about to buy? Rachel Reeves has announced what she plans to do with the cash the government is raising (and borrowing). The plan is to invest, but there are some common themes. One of these is collaboration with the private sector. But what do Steve and Steve think of using public money to help Manchester United expand Old Trafford? Dowlais is another Steve W stock and his takeover thesis has come true – sort of. It's the whole company that's being acquired, not just one division.  That might be even better. But what does it say about the UK if businesses from the FTSE 250 are being acquired by smaller competitors from the US? ASML has had quite the week. The stock fell after the DeepSeek news indicated that the latest chips might not be crucial when it comes to high performance LLMs. A strong earnings report has proved to be just the job, though. Strong sales from Q4 and a more positive outlook compared to a flat year has investors feeling good again.  Two bits of news from WH Smith stood out to Steve W this week. The first is it's planning on divesting its high street retail business – which is an ugly one.  The second is that the travel division is still growing reasonably well. So could there be hidden value in what looks like an unpromising FTSE 250 stock? Shares in Steve D–owned LVMH fell this week after the company's latest trading update. And Diageo investors might take note of weakness in the alcohol division. Bernard Arnault has been doing what he does best, which is getting himself around. And the CEO is an experienced operator when it comes to these machinations… Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

Subscribe, Rate, & Review on YouTube • Spotify • Apple PodcastsThis Week's GuestWhen, suddenly, the barrier between “imagination” and “reality” evaporates as our familiar notions of here/there, now/then, in/out, and other/self twist up into a ball of non-Euclidean spaghetti, whom better to help steer the course through these “turbulent philosophical waters” than Richard Doyle, aka “M0b1ius”, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor at Penn State Center for Humanities and Information in the College of Liberal Arts? After his postdoctoral research at MIT in History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, Doyle wrote The Wetwares Trilogy, a sequence of books on the history of information biology that reached its climax with one of my favorite reads of all time, Darwin's Pharmacy: Sex, Plants, and The Evolution of the Noosphere. He is also the author of The Genesis of Now: Self Experiments with the Bible & the End of Religion and Into The Stillness: Dialogues on Awakening Beyond Thought (with Gary Weber), and has taught courses on “aliens, Philip K. Dick, nanotechnology, rebellion itself, ecstasy, Sanskrit rhetorical traditions, Burroughs, basic argumentation, The Non Dual Bible, and everything in between.” I discovered Doyle through his appearances on my first favorite podcast, Erik Davis' Expanding Mind, and in the thirteen years since he has shown up for me time and time again as mentor, friend, and inspiration. And since this project is, ostensibly, a way of training my own language model to reflect the wisdom of my friends and colleagues, I can think of no one else I'd rather prime the batch. It is my great privilege and honor to be able to have him as the first guest in this series, as a way of of helping set the tone for everything that is to come…LinksRichard Doyle's faculty web page and publicationsLearn more about this project and read the essays so far (1, 2, 3, 4).Make tax-deductible donations to Humans On The LoopBrowse my reading list and support local booksellersJoin the Holistic Technology & Wise Innovation Discord serverJoin the private Future Fossils Facebook groupHire me for consulting or advisory workChapters0:00:00 – Teaser0:03:36 – Episode Intro0:12:44 – Introducing Richard Doyle0:29:33 – The Ego as Inflammation0:33:58 – Practicing Care in The Planet-Wide Makerspace0:48:30 – Digital Connection vs. Embodied Connection0:55:46 – Psychedelics as Training Wheels for Transhumanism1:02:43 – “Storytelling” Isn't A Professional Service (??)1:05:25 – Techniques for Reclaiming Attention & Finding Peace1:15:22 – Meditation as “The Halting Problem”1:17:30 – Beyond The Limits of Science1:22:17 – AI-Enabled Extraction vs. AI-Enabled Abundance1:38:40 – Closing RemarksReflectionsMuch of tech ethics discourse concerns itself with whether humans are “in the loop” or “out of the loop” — whether people get to call the shots. But there is always more than one loop. Most of the things our fleshy bodies do are local decisions made before we ever become conscious of them, if we ever do…and yet evolution clearly found some value in reflection, self-awareness, reflex inhibition, and the will that quiets maladaptive impulse. Widening our frame to see the way that humans are always-already intertwingled with our ecosystems, we can see ourselves as made of interference patterns between nested feedback loops — as focal points of conscious agency dependent on and acting in a massive, endlessly surprising web of automatic processes. For as long as we've been people we have never really “called the shots” but rather cultivated our response-ability within a cosmos made of entities whose otherness and mystery remained persistently opaque…and ritualized ways to live amidst this mystery in full recognition of the unity from which we cannot isolate ourselves.And this is only one of indefinitely many valid ways to understand the human. Like the telescope and microscope before them, language models reveal fresh perspectives on familiar landscapes. We do not need to leave our solar system to find “strange new worlds” awaiting us in places as familiar as our own minds and bodies. While most of the conversation lately seems to be about the power these new maps confer and whether it can be distributed more evenly, AI provides a new set of affordances for mystics for the transformation of our consciousness that can dissolve our wicked problems in a higher logical order. “What can I do?” becomes “Who am I?” and yields endlessly evolving and kaleidoscopic answers that provoke ongoing inquiry. To see the ways in which we are, as individuals, not just “connected” but precipitate as aggregates, in fields of constellated data, prompts a figure-ground reversal in which selves no longer hold their primacy as ground truth of our being, but show up last as we make inferences and draw stories from unbroken and inseparable experience.Something fundamental changes when we shift to seeing “human” and “non-human” as two stable patterns of recursive self-perception emerging from a single fabric of unfolding possibility: we find the opportunity to question what we're trying to achieve, to notice the ungrounded and conditional reality of narrative, to operate on our own “source code” and adjust our goals accordingly.If we can find the curiosity to ask ourselves if our fears and inadequacies really help us live the lives we want, we can follow it upstream to where each moment offers fresh, distinctive landscapes in which to explore and play and learn. In doing so, we rediscover vast and potent creativity. Instead of asking whether we can do more, we can ask “What do we want to do, and why is that desire substantiated?”This kind of meaning-making isn't just a luxury but an essential aspect of all efforts to survive and to succeed. The best way to get unstuck is to orient ourselves and take a different tack. We all know something isn't working. It's time to ask if, maybe, this is due to “user error” and the answer doesn't lie in new technologies, but in the simplest and most ancient truths available. We cannot control the world because we are the world — and, this entails a sense of radical responsibility to play our way into more well-adapted stories, models of the world we hold with humor and humility as they carve channels in the space of shared attention that coordinate us into futures good and true and beautiful.In other words, the magical technologies inspiring so much religious fear and fervor are both Towers of Babel and fingers pointing to the Moon. They are weird, unprecedented, and sublime — and they are business as usual on Planet Earth, where we have always come awake in medias res amidst unfathomable changes and unknowable intelligence. Recognizing this, we gain access to deep continuity and the place from which we can, at last, engage the question of “What Now?” with discipline and limber rigor suitable to the profound complexity we face.Digital technologies are psychedelic. We've been on a bad trip. It's time for us wiggle out, dream better, and allow a more capacious, plural, and harmonious humanity to take the oars together in whatever novel wonders may arise — to neither “give way to astonishment” nor let our fears steer us into the rocks. Humans On The Loop is an investigation of how awesome it could be, right now, to fully give in to the paradox, and notice how its knots untie in hyperspace, and revisit all our looming crises with more presence, grace, and understanding — and more lucid (dare I say, productive?) questions.One of those questions is how to apply the lessons of the living generations of psychonauts and psychedelic therapists to the vertiginous information and attention vortices in which we now found ourselves swirling. Maps of the World Wide Web look very much like brain scans of the amped-up functional connectivity between ordinarily inhibited brain regions in a psilocybin tripper. When the walls come down — when every node has edges with each other node, and average path length drops to one — how do we prioritize? What paths do we decide to cut through the emergent “intertwingularity”? Which apparitions do we honor, and which do we ignore? (And how?) Some familiar tropes that we might use to guide us: “test your drugs”, “get grounded”, “set and setting”, “integration counseling”…MentionsGenerated by NotebookLM.

Justin shares his experiences growing up in a hunting family, his military background, and his strategies for attracting ducks to his property. The conversation also dives into the challenges and opportunities presented by wetland restoration programs and the evolution of Justin's hunting property. Justin shares his insights on waterfowl hunting, focusing on wood duck management, geese hunting strategies, and his personal experiences in Ohio. He emphasizes the importance of natural practices, patience in property management, and the unique challenges and rewards of hunting in his area. The discussion also touches on memorable hunting stories and the significance of maintaining a connection to family land.   Feel free to reach out to us: migrationwaterfowl@gmail.com   Facebook, Instagram & YouTube: @migrationwaterfowl   Migration Waterfowl Store https://tinyurl.com/MigrationWaterfowlStore   This episode is brought to you by:   Blue Bird Waterfowl https://bluebirdwaterfowl.com   The Duck Hole & Company https://m.facebook.com/duckholecompany   Golden Millet Seed https://www.goldenmilletseed.com   CK Custom Calls https://m.facebook.com/100088485616501/   Takeaways: The two-week split in duck season allows ducks to rest and spread out. Weather patterns significantly affect duck hunting success. Justin Reif has a diverse background in hunting, influenced by family. Management strategies can attract more ducks to hunting areas. Wetland restoration programs provide financial support for conservation efforts. Maintaining water control is crucial for effective wetland management. The evolution of a hunting property requires ongoing adaptation and management. Starting from scratch allows for better planning in wetland development. Less is often more when it comes to decoy setups in hunting. Understanding duck behavior is key to successful hunting strategies. Keep hunting practices natural and unobtrusive. Widening shooting holes can improve hunting success. Wood duck boxes significantly enhance wood duck populations. Flooding corn early attracts wood ducks effectively. Patience is key in managing hunting grounds for ducks. Success in hunting is measured by the number of ducks held, not just harvested. Ohio has a rich history of waterfowl hunting despite common misconceptions. Unique hunting stories can add to the experience. Managing your own property changes the hunting mindset. Sharing knowledge about wetland management can help others. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have you ever been stuck in traffic and thought, if only this highway was a little wider so it could fit more cars? You aren't alone.Many states have been expanding their highways. New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced a $1.3 billion project to expand one of the state's highways for an estimated maximum six-minute travel savings. Other highway-widening projects are underway in Texas, California, and Maryland. In 2022, federal, state, and local governments in the US spent $127 billion on highway construction. Some departments of transportation say expanding highways is necessary to reduce congestion, especially in areas with growing populations, and to encourage economic development.But decades of research shows the opposite effects when highways are expanded—that travel times actually increase when more lanes are added. So how does this happen, and why do we keep expanding highways even though the research says it doesn't work?Megan Kimble, journalist and author of City Limits: Infrastructure, Inequality, And The Future Of America's Highways, joins Ira to break down the research behind highway widening and discuss how increasing funding for public transit could help make traffic better, and why some cities are deciding to remove their highways entirely.Read an excerpt from City Limits: Infrastructure, Inequality, And The Future Of America's Highways.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Fighting in the Middle East between Israel, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, and Iran dramatically ramped up this week. On Tuesday, Iran launched around 200 missiles at Israel in response to the assassination of longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last week. With the help of the U.S., Israel was able to defend against most of the Iranian airstrikes and prevent significant damage. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to retaliate, while Iranian officials have warned of more airstrikes should Israel do so. Ben Samuels, U.S. correspondent for Haaretz, says the events show just how little control the Biden administration has over what happens next in the widening conflict.And in headlines: President Biden and Vice President Harris surveyed damage from Hurricane Helene in separate visits to the southeast, a newly unsealed court filing gives the public the most detailed picture yet of former President Trump's “private criminal conduct” in the lead up to the Jan. 6 insurrection, and a federal appeals court says betting on U.S. elections can resumeShow Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
