WORDS OF WISDOM | "He that will not sail until all dangers are over, will never put to sea." | THOMAS FULLER | | Good morning! Today we're covering foreign election meddling, a staggering loss for Boeing, and how donor hearts transfer memories. | TOP NEWS | | Election Meddling Foreign adversaries are escalating AI-powered influence campaigns to divide Americans and undermine confidence in the election process ahead of the Nov. 5 vote, according to a new intelligence community assessment.
The foreign influence campaigns are expected to persist after polls close through Inauguration Day in January, the intelligence community believes. Social media posts, some of which are likely to be enhanced or entirely generated by AI, were identified as the most common type of election-related influence operation by foreign adversaries.
Despite the heightened influence efforts, the ODNI security update stressed that there is no evidence that foreign actors have attempted to interfere with vote tabulation or election administration processes. Their overarching aim is to sow doubt about the integrity of the November election, and create confusion and friction more generally around democratic processes in the United States.

The company's president and CEO, Kelly Ortberg, stated that it needs fundamental changes in its culture to return to the iconic brand it was for decades.
The third quarter losses are far worse than in the second quarter, when the company reported a $1.6 billion loss.
"The trust in our company has eroded. We're saddled with too much debt. We've had serious lapses in our performance across the company, which have disappointed many of our customers," Ortberg said. "Going forward, we will be focused on fundamentally changing the culture, stabilizing the business, and improving program execution while setting the foundation for the future of Boeing."

When Jerry was 16 months old, he tragically drowned. His heart was transplanted into Carter, a 7-month-old boy with congenital heart disease. Years later, when Jerry's mother, a physician and self-proclaimed "natural born skeptic," met Carter, she was struck by similarities to her son. "Carter is 6 [years old]," she observed, "but he was talking Jerry's baby talk and playing with my nose just like Jerry did."
Carter's mother also witnessed extraordinary behaviors in her son after the heart transplant. "I saw Carter go to her," she reported, referring to Jerry's mother. "He never does that. He is very, very shy, but he went to her just like he used to run to me when he was a baby. When he whispered, 'It's okay, Mama,' I broke down. He called her mother.

The Ordeals Our Spiritual Discipline Faces | MORE TOP NEWS | | | | | | | | PREMIUM | | INSPIRED | | CULTURE | | Autumn Poetry | Falling leaves and the crisp air invite us to reflect on life's deeper themes. In many ways, this season mirrors the fleeting nature of existence—rich in beauty, yet marked by an inevitable decline. Poets across the ages have used autumn as a powerful metaphor for our own transience, exploring the tension between abundance and decay.
Four such poets were Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Robert Frost, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Rainer Maria Rilke. Each offered a unique meditation on autumn's significance. From the regal depiction of the season as a benevolent ruler in Longfellow's "Autumn," to a quiet plea for time to slow down in Frost's "October," we can think about how nature's cycles reflect our own journey through life.
In these poems, the beauty of autumn stirs up contemplation on mortality, the passage of time, and deeper spiritual truths we can glean from the world around us. | | | EPOCH TV | | | OPINION | | | EPOCH FUN | | |
