Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: MM Welcome back to Challenges, a faith radio program. I
- 0:10Speaker 1: am hearing the cancer. Thank you for joining like technology
- 0:13Speaker 1: God and you are listeners and new listeners in Australia, Kenya, Zimbabwe,
- 0:21Speaker 1: South Africa, India, Pakistan, France, Ireland, Norway, Iceland, Brazil, Ecuador, Canada.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Here on episode two thousand, eight hundred and four. Did
- 0:41Speaker 1: you hear about the common spice You know, the one
- 0:46Speaker 1: that you may be utilizing that's been recalled in fifteen
- 0:51Speaker 1: states after cancer calling lee lead contamination. A brand of
- 1:01Speaker 1: five spice powdered popular in Chinese dishes, has been recalled.
- 1:10Speaker 1: The Fellow Drug Administration said sixty two cases of the powder,
- 1:16Speaker 1: called u Ye five Spice powder may be effected, mostly
- 1:23Speaker 1: sold in local stores. The recall is Class two, meaning
- 1:29Speaker 1: officials believer there is a risk of temporary or medically
- 1:34Speaker 1: reversible health effects to those who consume the powder. The
- 1:40Speaker 1: spice was distributed by Summit Import Corporation, based in New Jersey,
- 1:47Speaker 1: and as a popular Chinese space spice blend, fame for
- 1:52Speaker 1: combining the flavor of sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and yemani.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Lead contamination was detected during the routine test by the
- 2:06Speaker 1: Federal Drug Administration, which revealed high levels of lead. Exposure
- 2:13Speaker 1: to the metal is linked to numerous health issues, including
- 2:16Speaker 1: memory problems, cancer and delayed growth and development and children.
- 2:26Speaker 1: The recall was first announced in mid December, but this
- 2:30Speaker 1: week the FDA updated the notice and concerns over the product.
- 2:36Speaker 1: It's just the latest product to be recalled over lead.
- 2:40Speaker 1: At Seminin pouches were also recalled in August over contamination
- 2:44Speaker 1: with this substance. They were sold in New York, Virginia, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio,
- 2:54Speaker 1: South Carolina, Alaska's, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Georgia, Minnesota, the Missouri, Iowa, Pennsylvania.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Did you hear about it while you're in the store.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I remember going into a store some months ago, and
- 3:15Speaker 1: I had previously seen a recall notice on some of
- 3:20Speaker 1: the products and store was selling them. I went to
- 3:23Speaker 1: the mansion and said, hey, did you did you hear
- 3:26Speaker 1: about the recall notice on this that this that that
- 3:30Speaker 1: you have still on your shelf selling. Now you already
- 3:37Speaker 1: know the answer to that, and of course you already
- 3:42Speaker 1: heard about The United States Food and Drug Administration has
- 3:45Speaker 1: banned the use of red dye number three in food
- 3:49Speaker 1: and adjusted drugs more than thirty years after scientists discovered
- 3:55Speaker 1: links to cancer and animals. Have you been paying attention
- 4:02Speaker 1: to all of these foods and attitudes and spices and
- 4:12Speaker 1: so forth and so forth it's cancer related? Did you
- 4:20Speaker 1: hear about the scientists are revealed whether tap or bottled
- 4:24Speaker 1: water is safer after revealing toxic chemicals not my water.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Millions of Americans buy bottled water due to concerns about
- 4:38Speaker 1: chemicals and tap water, but it could actually be harming
- 4:41Speaker 1: their health what According to the International Bottled Water Association,
- 4:49Speaker 1: Americans drink some fifteen billion gallons of bottled water each year,
- 4:53Speaker 1: around forty five gallons per person. However, recent studies have
- 4:59Speaker 1: shown water may not be as safe as it seems.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Last year of sweeping review found up the three quarters
- 5:07Speaker 1: of bottle water contains harmful microplastics, which leads from packaging
- 5:14Speaker 1: into our blood and accumulate and our organs, causing untold damage.
- 5:24Speaker 1: This led to researchers to conclude a tape water it's
- 5:28Speaker 1: generally safe, inexpensive, convenient, and eco friendly. However, other researchers
- 5:35Speaker 1: found as many as one hundred million Americans could be
- 5:40Speaker 1: exposed to forever chemicals in their tap water. Now, amid
- 5:46Speaker 1: the growing body of research, some sciences now say definitively
- 5:51Speaker 1: that tap water is by and large safe, better regulated,
- 5:56Speaker 1: and contains fewer microplastics than bottled varieties. Did you hear
- 6:02Speaker 1: about any of this? You sure? You sure? The US
- 6:15Speaker 1: government clawed back more than thirty million dollars in Social
- 6:19Speaker 1: Security payments that improperty went to dead people of recovery
- 6:26Speaker 1: that one official said was just the tip of the iceberg.
- 6:30Speaker 1: The money was reclaimed as part of a five month
- 6:33Speaker 1: pilot program after Congress gave the Department of Treasury temporary
- 6:38Speaker 1: access to the Social Security Administration Full Death Master FOUL
- 6:44Speaker 1: for three years as part of the Omnibus Appropriation Bill
- 6:49Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. The Social Security Administration maintains the
- 6:54Speaker 1: most complete federal database of individuals who have died, and
- 7:00Speaker 1: the FOWL contains more than one hundred and forty two
- 7:02Speaker 1: million records, which go back to eighteen ninety nine. According
- 7:09Speaker 1: to the Treasury, did you hear that the Denver City
- 7:16Speaker 1: Council approved needle exchanges next to schools and daycares? The
- 7:26Speaker 1: bill also strikes the language from the municipal code that
- 7:29Speaker 1: prohibits operating needle exchanges within one thousand feet of elementary
- 7:37Speaker 1: or secondary schools or any daycare centers. According to the
- 7:43Speaker 1: Denver Gazette, Councilman Daryl Watson, who voted against the bill
- 7:48Speaker 1: because it eliminates the distancing requirement from schools, said residents
- 7:54Speaker 1: in his district have been cleared that removing the distance
- 7:57Speaker 1: restriction is something that they do not support. At a
- 8:02Speaker 1: hearing in December, she said, I can tell you that
- 8:05Speaker 1: the in person needed a change program is a terrible neighbor,
- 8:08Speaker 1: you know it is, and why should it be near
- 8:13Speaker 1: the kids? The babies? Come on, people, could you hear that?
- 8:19Speaker 1: In the United States, Department of Justice disclosed that a
- 8:24Speaker 1: court authorized operation allowed the Federal Bureau of Investigation to
- 8:28Speaker 1: delete a variant of the plug x malware from over
- 8:33Speaker 1: forty two hundred and fifty infected computers as part of
- 8:38Speaker 1: a multi month law enforcement operation. The malware, attributed to
- 8:44Speaker 1: the China Nexus mustain panned a threat actor is known
- 8:50Speaker 1: to spread to other systems via attach USB devices. The
- 8:55Speaker 1: disruption is part of a larger effort led by the
- 8:58Speaker 1: Paris Prosecutor's Office and cybersecurity firms the CoA that has
- 9:03Speaker 1: resulted in the disinfection payload being sent to five five
- 9:09Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine IP addresses across ten countries. Did
- 9:14Speaker 1: you hear? Did you hear about the map that reveals
- 9:20Speaker 1: the US hotspots with high levels of radioactive gas linked
- 9:25Speaker 1: to cancer. Here we got cancer again? Did you hear
- 9:31Speaker 1: about it? You? Sure? Well? Let me ask you a question.
- 9:39Speaker 1: You don't mind? Do you? I know you don't. Don't
- 9:41Speaker 1: you want to hear about it? Well, even if you don't,
- 9:45Speaker 1: there's somebody who tunes in that does. The new map
- 9:49Speaker 1: has revealed that up to twenty five percent of Americans
- 9:52Speaker 1: living in areas where radon levels are considered unsafe by
- 9:56Speaker 1: the Environmental Protection Agency. You know EPA and radon is
- 10:01Speaker 1: a radioactive gas that has no color, smell, or taste.
- 10:08Speaker 1: It is present in both indoor and outdoor air everywhere,
- 10:11Speaker 1: but there is no known safe level of exposure to
- 10:15Speaker 1: this nazius substance. It comes from the natural decay of uranium,
- 10:20Speaker 1: a radioactive element that is found in nearly all soils.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Study shows that radon exposure is a second leading cause
- 10:29Speaker 1: of lung cancer in the United States after smoking, leading
- 10:37Speaker 1: to about twenty one thousand lung cancer deaths each year.
- 10:40Speaker 1: According to the EPA. Now researchers have identified and mapped
- 10:47Speaker 1: areas throughout the United States where radon levels over the
- 10:51Speaker 1: EPA's action level of one hundred and forty eight requirrels
- 10:54Speaker 1: per cubic meter, or the level at which the agency
- 10:59Speaker 1: requires regulatory action. The Great Plains region appears to have
- 11:06Speaker 1: the highest level, especially around the border between Iowa, Nebraska
- 11:11Speaker 1: and South Dakota. Northern Cansas, Central Colorado, or Central High
- 11:18Speaker 1: Yoke Central Pennsylvania was also identified as Raydon hotspots. Some
- 11:25Speaker 1: of these states, particularly those in the Upper Midwest, are
- 11:29Speaker 1: known to have elevated concentrations of uranium in their soils,
- 11:34Speaker 1: which may account for the heightened Raydon levels. But interestingly,
- 11:39Speaker 1: the research is also found that over eighty three million
- 11:43Speaker 1: Americans live in homes with Raydon concentrations over the one
- 11:49Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight bg BQLM three levels, even though
- 11:56Speaker 1: they are in low Raydon zones. This highlights the new
- 12:00Speaker 1: for more comprehensive surveys. They stated, did you hear about
- 12:05Speaker 1: any of this that's affecting your health? According to the EPA,
- 12:12Speaker 1: sixty two and one thousand smokers who spent their entire
- 12:16Speaker 1: lives exposed to the actual level of radon would get
- 12:19Speaker 1: lung cancer, while only seven and one thousand non smokers
- 12:25Speaker 1: would developed the disease. The Gravy Analytics data breach recent
- 12:34Speaker 1: exposed the location data of millions of people. Gravy Analytics,
- 12:40Speaker 1: known for its location based advertising technology, collects vast amounts
- 12:46Speaker 1: of data from mobile devices. This breach revealed how such
- 12:50Speaker 1: practices can put your privacy at significant risks. Sensitive information
- 12:56Speaker 1: about users' movements was exposed, underscoring the dangers of third
- 13:03Speaker 1: party data tracking. What this breach tells us about location
- 13:08Speaker 1: tracking ad IDs as vulnerabilities. Advertising IDs on most smartphones
- 13:16Speaker 1: create a digital fingerprint, enabling companies to track and monetize
- 13:21Speaker 1: your behavior. Location data risks. Many apps silently collect and
- 13:28Speaker 1: share location information even when it's not essential for their functionality.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Data storage problems centralized storage the sense of the data
- 13:40Speaker 1: increases the chance of large scale breaches. So how do
- 13:44Speaker 1: you stay protected? Well, Limit app permissions, only grant location
- 13:52Speaker 1: access when absolutely necessary. Use privacy first tools and devices
- 13:58Speaker 1: to minimize data explos Stay informed about which companies collect
- 14:03Speaker 1: your data on how they use it. Are you doing that?
- 14:10Speaker 1: You sure? Okay, that's what you say? Is to take
- 14:14Speaker 1: a siple of water. Did you hear about the biblical
- 14:22Speaker 1: air structure discovered in Jerusalem city of used during the
- 14:26Speaker 1: First Temple period? Did you hear about it? Religious structure
- 14:31Speaker 1: may have been closed during reforms. A biblical king has
- 14:35Speaker 1: a kayah, a unique structure which was uncovered by the
- 14:39Speaker 1: israel Antiquities Authority on the eastern slope of the city
- 14:44Speaker 1: of David. It dates back to the First Temple period
- 14:47Speaker 1: and was used for ritual religious practices. Did you hear
- 14:53Speaker 1: about it? And a small cave on the edge of
- 14:57Speaker 1: the structure of a catch up object to dating until
- 15:01Speaker 1: the eighth century VCEE was uncovered, including cooking pots, jars
- 15:08Speaker 1: bearing fragments of ancient Hebrew inscriptions, loon weights, scarops, stamp
- 15:16Speaker 1: seals with decorative mot tops, and grinding stores stones used
- 15:24Speaker 1: for crushing grains. Did you hear about any of that?
- 15:30Speaker 1: You didn't? Well, you can follow the story, but at
- 15:33Speaker 1: the same time open the word, because in the Book
- 15:36Speaker 1: of Second Kings, Hezekias described as a king who did
- 15:41Speaker 1: what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according
- 15:45Speaker 1: to all that David his father had done. The Bible
- 15:49Speaker 1: also describes Hezekai's reforms of popular worship intended to focus
- 15:55Speaker 1: the people's worship at the temple Solomon built. He removed
- 15:59Speaker 1: the places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the
- 16:03Speaker 1: ash up, and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent
- 16:07Speaker 1: that Moses had made. But until those days the people
- 16:11Speaker 1: of Israel had made offerings to it. He trusted in
- 16:16Speaker 1: the Lord which is most important, the God of Israel,
- 16:20Speaker 1: so that there was none like him among all the
- 16:23Speaker 1: kings of Julu after him, knowing among those who were
- 16:27Speaker 1: before him. And you can see that in Second Kings,
- 16:30Speaker 1: chapter eighteen, verse four through five. But the question is
- 16:33Speaker 1: that you hear about it because of discovery in the
- 16:37Speaker 1: city of David once again affirms the Jewish people's ongoing
- 16:41Speaker 1: three thousand plus year old bomb with Jerusalem, not simply
- 16:45Speaker 1: as a matter of faith, but as a matter of fact.
- 16:48Speaker 1: From Bible times to the modern day. Hornstein said, and
- 16:54Speaker 1: a scripture for the day is Psalm one hundred and nineteen,
- 16:57Speaker 1: verse one hundred and fourteen. You are my refuge and
- 17:03Speaker 1: my shield. I have put my hope in in your words.
