What happens when a beekeeper with a zoology background, a manufacturing business, and a tendency to question conventional wisdom starts redesigning beekeeping equipment? In this episode, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman welcome Michael Mahar of 21st Bee, an Arkansas beekeeper and manufacturer who has spent years developing his own approach to bees, equipment, and even value-added honey. Michael explains how frustration with assembling and repairing conventional frames led him to design an injection-molded plastic frame intended to withstand years of abuse. He discusses communication passages built into the frames, multiple cell sizes, drone foundation, small-cell foundation, and the practical considerations behind his designs. The conversation then moves into more controversial territory: Michael's small-cell, treatment-free approach to Varroa management. Michael describes the selection process behind his locally adapted colonies, his unusual use of drone brood, and why he believes small-cell comb is only one component of a much larger management system. Becky adds important perspective on the research surrounding cell size and Varroa, while the group emphasizes that management strategies must account for location, colony genetics, neighboring beekeepers, and individual goals. Then things take a completely different turn. Michael reveals his painstaking process for producing bourbon-infused honey using carefully selected bourbon-soaked oak, different char and toast levels, temperature cycling, and months of tasting and adjustment. Frames, Varroa, genetics, bourbon and honey—this conversation covers a remarkable amount of ground.

Everton lost 8 points. Nottingham Forest lost 4. Chelsea? Not a single point, despite admitting to 74 breaches of FA rules and getting hit by three separate regulators (UEFA, the Premier League, and the FA) over £47m in undisclosed historical payments. Les and Dave lay out the full timeline of all three cases - Everton's two separate PSR breaches, Forest's £34.5m overspend, and Chelsea's Abramovich-era disclosure scandal - and compare them point by point: what the breach actually was, who discovered it, who was punished for it, and what sanction followed. Are these cases really comparable? Have Chelsea been treated more leniently than the clubs who lost points? We go through the arguments on both sides before giving our verdict. Let us know your thoughts. A breakdown of each club's breaches: Everton • Case 1: 2021/22 period. Loss £124.5m vs £105m limit (breach ~£19.5m). Charged Mar 2023. • Sanction 1: 10-point deduction (Nov 2023) → reduced to 6 points on appeal (Feb 2024). • Case 2: 2022/23 period. Breach of £16.6m. Charged Jan 2024. • Sanction 2: 2-point deduction (Apr 2024). • Total: 8 points deducted, in-season, same campaign. Nottingham Forest • Case: 2022/23 period. Threshold £61m (reduced for Championship seasons). Breach of £34.5m. Charged Jan 2024. • Sanction: 6 points initial → reduced to 4-point deduction for early admission/cooperation. • Appeal: Rejected — 4 points stood. Chelsea • UEFA (2023): €10m (£8.6m) fine — incomplete financial reporting. • Premier League (Mar 2026): £10.75m fine + immediate 9-month academy transfer ban + 1-year first-team transfer ban suspended 2 years. PL found payments, even if disclosed, would not have breached PSR. • FA (Jul 2026): 74 admitted breaches (undisclosed agent/third-party payments, £47m, 2011–2018). £10m fine (halved from £20m for self-reporting). Original 6-point suspended deduction overturned on appeal, replaced with suspended two-window transfer ban. • Total: £0 points deducted. All penalties financial or suspended. Breaches self-reported by current owners about previous (Abramovich) regime. Want a little more from us?

United Parks is bringing licensed IP to Howl-O-Scream for the first time, licensing two Sony films across all five of its events. Busch Gardens Tampa and Williamsburg each open an Anaconda house on September 11 with different storylines, Fear Has No Escape in Tampa and Dead on Arrival in Williamsburg, while I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Final Catch opens at SeaWorld Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio. Sony says it is the first time either film has been licensed for a major Halloween event.Howl-O-Scream built its identity on avoiding IP. Original stories meant the licensing money went into the product instead, while Universal paid for rights before building a single set. That calculus has flipped in a market where guests gravitate to what they already know. The risk is the pattern other parks have followed: pay for the IP out of the same budget, build less event, and blame the IP when attendance disappoints. Guests buy the whole event, and when the event shrinks, one house cannot cover the gap.Anaconda is an animal-attack story at a company historically sensitive about how animals are portrayed, and neither film carries the pull of a Halloween staple. The two Anaconda storylines suggest houses built to swap parks next year, the right instinct, since IP buying power only works at corporate scale and the next step is infrastructure consistent enough to rotate shows between parks. One haunted house does not make a premier Halloween event.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Charlie Puth has spent the last decade topping charts with hits like “See You Again,” “Attention” and “We Don't Talk Anymore”. He also shares about performing the national anthem at the 2026 Super Bowl, drawing inspiration from Whitney Houston's iconic rendition. Puth sits down with Willie Geist at a New York City jazz club to discuss his fourth studio album, “Whatever's Clever,” an orchestral pop record influenced by late 1980s and early 1990s yacht rock, while reflecting on the pivotal moments that shaped his rise from accidental pop star to global headliner. Plus, he opens up about a recent conversation with former President Barack Obama about the importance of music education, how Taylor Swift's “The Tortured Poets Department” lyric pushed him to be more vulnerable and how marriage and fatherhood have reshaped his songwriting.

Do this before bed to calm your nervous system, support your vagus nerve, and drift into deep, healing sleep. This gentle vagus nerve reset meditation is designed to help you shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest using slow breathing, soft sighs, self-compassion, and a tender full-body scan. You're invited to arrive exactly as you are—busy-minded, tired, or tender-hearted—and be reminded again and again: you are safe, you are held, you are okay as you are. In this sleep meditation you will: - Use slow, rhythmic breathing and soft sighs to send a message of safety through your whole system - Explore a somatic hug and soothing (or imagined) self-touch to gently tone the vagus nerve - Experience a warm, tender body scan with visualization, from the crown of the head all the way to sleepy toes - Ground into three points of support beneath you and feel fully held and supported - Practice kindness, acceptance, and letting go of attachment and expectations - Rest into healing affirmations such as: - I am safe to rest - My body is heard - My body's natural healing is active now - rest deeply now This practice is ideal as a bedtime meditation, sleep hypnosis style relaxation, or a nervous system reset at the end of a long day. Listen lying down or seated, let the ground meet you where you are, and allow your body to remember how to rest, repair, and heal. If your mind wanders, that's perfectly okay. Thoughts can simply float by—like leaves on a slow stream—as you are gently guided back to your breath, your body, and the steady support beneath you.

Goring Bible Reading: “We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.” - Hebrews 6:18-20 (MSG) A few years ago, while waiting to be seen in a hospital, I stepped into the women’s restroom and saw something that inspired this devotional: a lifeline. It was a red label with white-inked words instructing me to pull the attached red string if I needed help. The sight of this made me think about how Jesus Christ is our lifeline. Earlier this year, I saw a reel via Instagram of a young girl around age 11 or 12. She was captured on camera rushing onto the concert stage before security could catch her and embracing her favorite singer. Prior to this, I could see that the singer was performing at a calm, steady pace as she walked across the stage, holding the microphone near her face. When the young girl rushed onto the stage, the singer wasn’t fazed. She let the young girl wrap her arms around her waist and rest her head on her midsection as she leaned in for a tight hug that obviously meant the world to her. This girl received a 10-second embrace before security reached her and carried her away. When I saw this reel, it spoke volumes to me because it helped me realize several things. I realized that I have been there before because I have had favorite singers over the years—both secular and Christian—and I know what it’s like to cope with their music to the point where it feels like your favorite singer and their songs are your lifeline. When feeling sad or depressed, I would listen to a song that served as catharsis for my feelings, working it out of my system until I felt better. It was obvious to me that the singer in the Instagram reel was that young girl’s lifeline. Her music must have brought this girl through tough times and inspired her heart. Whether feeling happy or sad, this singer’s songs were obviously the soundtrack to her fans’ lives. It was obvious that she loved this musician with all her heart. It was also clear that this singer appreciated her fans because she let this girl hug her for more than a second without pushing her away. Jesus Christ also never pushes us away. And unlike any human—famous singer or not—He is our true lifeline. Only Jesus can save our souls. And He gave us a beautiful way to reach Him as our lifeline. That gift is prayer. I follow a page on Instagram that’s hosted by Ellie Mont. Last year, she said something very profound about prayer being our lifeline. These are a few quotes from her post on Instagram that support my devotional message today: First, she acknowledges that life can be hard for most people. Mont said, “Life often feels like a series of challenges and roadblocks that drain our strength. We try to be strong, to figure it all out on our own, but sometimes it just feels like too much. In those moments, we must remember we do not walk alone.” Second, she reminds us that Jesus walks with us. She also delivers a powerful line about the gift God gave us to reach Him and communicate with Him. Mont said, “Prayer is more than a religious habit or a last resort. It is a lifeline. It is a personal conversation with the God who created you, who sees everything you face, and who cares about every detail of your life. When you cannot handle the weight of your problems, you can bring them to the One who can. God does not ask you to be perfect. He asks you to come to Him just as you are.” Third, Mont reminds us that God wants to hear our hearts no matter how we feel or how messy it seems. She said, “You can be honest with Him. You can tell Him your fears, your doubts, your confusion, and your pain. There is nothing too small or too big for God to handle. He is not bothered by your questions or your tears. He welcomes them. He is a Father who wants to help you and walk with you through every season.” Finally, Mont gives us a word of encouragement for when we feel too discouraged to pray. She said, “Don’t let discouragement silence your voice. Do not let fear steal your hope. Keep praying. Keep trusting. God hears every word, even the ones you cannot say out loud. He sees your heart, and He is working even when you do not see it. You are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are not powerless. You are loved by a God who listens.” In closing, I’d like to say: Be careful not to make a human or anything that is not God your god or your lifeline, because there is only one true God and one way to heaven. The way is Jesus Christ (John 14:6). He is our lifeline. We need to cling to Christ more than we cling to anybody or anything else.

I dagens avsnitt gästas vi av entreprenören och beroendeterapeuten Joakim "Idis" Eriksson. Joakim växte upp i Husby och Rissne, ständigt på jakt efter bekräftelse, spänning och en plats där han kände att han hörde hemma. När känslor aldrig fick ta plats och en förnedrande händelse i tonåren satte djupa spår lovade han sig själv att aldrig mer visa sig svag.Det löftet ledde honom rakt in i Djurgårdens huliganmiljö, där våld, lojalitet och adrenalinkickar blev en livsstil. Han klättrade snabbt i hierarkin, levde för slagsmålen och blev en av de mest tongivande profilerna i supporterkulturen. Men bakom den orädda fasaden växte en tomhet som blev allt svårare att fly ifrån.När en nära vän dödas i en huliganfight förändras allt. Sorgen, skulden och hämndbegäret blir starten på ett mörkt fall. Missbruket tar över, företaget kollapsar, relationerna går sönder och till slut förlorar Joakim allt. Hemlös, jagad av droger och psykoser försörjer han sig genom kriminalitet och berättar hur han gång på gång balanserar på gränsen mellan liv och död.I dag är Joakim sex år nykter. Efter fängelse, behandling och ett långt arbete med sig själv har han byggt upp sitt liv från grunden. Han hjälper nu andra att ta sig ur beroende och kriminalitet – och menar att det största modet inte handlar om att slåss, utan om att våga vara sårbar.Det här är ett starkt samtal om våld, skam, identitet, missbruk, försoning och om hur en människa kan resa sig igen, även efter att ha förlorat nästan allt.Följ Joakim härKöp boken härIdisrör AB Kontakta Joakim: Sanktidis76@gmail.comLäs mer om Framgångsakademin här.Ta del av Framgångsakademins kurser.Beställ "Mitt Framgångsår".Följ Alexander Pärleros på Instagram.Följ Alexander Pärleros på Tiktok.Bästa tipsen från avsnittet i Nyhetsbrevet.

Irrfahrt Christopher Nolans The Odyssey wirkt wie ein Film, der von Anfang an auf große Bilder und starke Stimmung setzt. Schon die Idee des Stoffes passt zu Nolans Stil: eine Reise voller Gefahr, Zweifel und Spannung, erzählt nicht klein, sondern mit dem Anspruch auf echtes Kinoerlebnis. Bildgewaltig scheint hier das passende Wort zu sein. Man erwartet keine glatte, leichte Abenteuerreise, sondern monumentale Bilder, weite Räume und Szenen, die sich förmlich ins Gedächtnis brennen. Nolan nutzt solche Stoffe oft, um aus einzelnen Momenten etwas Großes zu machen, und genau das dürfte auch hier spürbar werden. Die Reise wird nicht nur erzählt, sie wird als visuelles Erlebnis inszeniert. Düster ist der Film vermutlich ebenso. Bei Nolan steckt hinter jeder großen Geschichte meist auch ein Gefühl von Bedrohung, Verlust oder innerem Konflikt. Das passt perfekt zu einem Stoff wie The Odyssey, in dem es nicht nur um Heimkehr, sondern auch um Prüfung, Irrweg und Überleben geht. Statt reiner Abenteuerromantik entsteht so eine schwerere, ernstere Atmosphäre. Gerade darin liegt die Stärke von großem Kino: wenn Bilder, Klang und Erzählung zusammenkommen und mehr erzeugen als bloße Handlung. The Odyssey dürfte genau so ein Film sein, der nicht einfach unterhält, sondern beeindruckt. Er will nicht nebenbei laufen, sondern den Raum füllen und das Publikum komplett in seine Welt ziehen. Das ist Kino mit Anspruch, Wucht und Nachhall. Kurz gesagt: Nolan macht aus The Odyssey vermutlich kein klassisches Abenteuer, sondern ein düsteres, visuell überwältigendes Epos, das zeigt, warum Kino auf der großen Leinwand am stärksten ist. Deswegen war Matze im weltweiten größten IMAX. Noch eine Irrfahrt Wer sich wohl auch ein wenig verfahren hat ist Apple. Die Vision pro war ja ne nette Idee aber nicht wirklich das, worauf die welt gewartet hat. Das hat wohl nun auch Apple festgestellt und konzentriert sich auf das, was wohl die größeren Chancen bei der breiten Masse hat – AR Brillen. Geplant sind wohl zwei Varianten, eine mit und eine ohne Displays. Und nochmal mit dem Schiff unterwegs Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced wirkt wie genau das Remake, auf das viele Fans gewartet haben. Schon das Original gehört für viele zu den stärksten Teilen der Reihe, und die neue Version bringt dieses Gefühl auf der PS5 Pro noch einmal deutlich eindrucksvoller zurück. Besonders stark ist, wie gut das Spiel den Charme des Originals bewahrt und gleichzeitig moderner wirkt. Die Seefahrten, die karibische Atmosphäre und das Leben als Pirat fühlen sich immer noch frei und abenteuerlich an, aber die überarbeitete Präsentation macht alles klarer, lebendiger und insgesamt deutlich hochwertiger. Genau so sollte ein gutes Remake funktionieren: vertraut bleiben und trotzdem neu begeistern. Auf der PS5 Pro kommt diese Welt offenbar besonders gut zur Geltung. Schärfere Details, saubere Bildqualität und eine insgesamt deutlich stärkere technische Präsentation sorgen dafür, dass man noch tiefer in die tropische Spielwelt eintaucht. Das Meer wirkt bedrohlicher, die Inseln stimmungsvoller und die Kämpfe spürbar intensiver. Dadurch bekommt das Spiel eine frische Energie, ohne seinen Charakter zu verlieren. Gerade bei einem Spiel wie Black Flag ist das entscheidend, weil nicht nur die Geschichte, sondern auch das Gefühl der Freiheit trägt. Das Remake macht aus diesem Kern kein anderes Spiel, sondern ein deutlich schöneres und moderneres Erlebnis. Wer das Original mochte, bekommt hier die Chance, es in einer Form zu erleben, die dem Klassiker wirklich gerecht wird. Am Ende zeigt Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced vor allem eines: Ein starkes Spiel wird durch ein gutes Remake nicht ersetzt, sondern neu glänzen gelassen. Spielen wird wohl etwas teurer Zuletzt bei der Diskussion über die Steam Machine haben wir ja gehört, dass Hardware immer knapper und dadurch teurer wird. Dass sich das auch auf die alten Konsolen auswirkt dürfte so aber recht neu sein. Microsoft plant ordentliche Preiserhöhungen bei der bestehenden Konsolengeneration. Borncity berichtet von: Die Xbox Series S mit 512 GB wird dann knapp 500 Euro kosten, die 1-TB-Version schlägt mit rund 600 Euro zu Buche. Noch teurer wird es bei der High-End-Xbox Series X: Die Digital Edition ohne Laufwerk kostet künftig etwa 750 Euro, das Modell mit Disc-Laufwerk sogar rund 800 Euro. Preise sollen ab dem 1.8. gelten, wir nehmen vorher auf, deshalb können wir das nicht überprüfen. Eigentlich sollten die alten Dinger doch billiger werden.

Jan Delay ist ein fetter Deutschrap-Track, der sofort Druck macht und mit seiner Energie hängen bleibt. Der Song hat genau diese Mischung aus Selbstbewusstsein, Härte und Flow, die einen starken Rap-Track ausmacht. Besonders stark ist, wie die drei Künstler zusammen funktionieren.

Mitternacht klingt nicht nach Hintergrundmusik, sondern nach einem Song, der Lautstärke braucht und Raum einnimmt. Genau das macht ihn so stark: Er wirkt entschlossen, trocken und dennoch eingängig. Auch heute hat der Song noch diesen besonderen Reiz, weil er aus einer Zeit kommt, in der Deutschrap stark über Persönlichkeit, Wortwitz und Attitüde funktioniert hat. Das macht den Track nicht nur cool, sondern auch zeitlos auf seine eigene Art. Er steht für eine Phase, in der deutscher Rap Charakter hatte und klar nach vorne ging.

Was wir davon halten und wir dazu stehen im Vergleich zu Amazons senderkonzept besprechen wir in der Episode. Sony Wut! Das Ende der physischen Disc-Produktion bei Sony für PlayStation ist für viele Kunden und Gamer ein ernstes Problem. Es geht dabei nicht nur um Nostalgie, sondern um echte Fragen von Besitz, Freiheit und Verfügbarkeit. Wer Spiele heute nur noch digital kauft, ist stärker von Plattformen, Preisen und Lizenzmodellen abhängig. Eine Disc kann man weiterverkaufen, verleihen oder einfach ins Regal stellen. Eine digitale Version bleibt dagegen an ein Konto und an die Regeln des Anbieters gebunden. Genau das macht viele Spieler unruhig, weil ihnen ein Stück Kontrolle über ihre eigene Sammlung verloren geht. Für Sammler und Vielspieler ist das besonders bitter. Physische Editionen haben einen klaren Wert, der über den reinen Spielstart hinausgeht. Sie sind greifbar, unabhängig und oft auch langfristig sicherer als digitale Käufe, die theoretisch jederzeit aus dem Shop verschwinden können. Wenn Sony diesen Weg weiter konsequent verlässt, wird das Gaming für viele weniger frei und mehr von Konzernentscheidungen bestimmt. Dazu kommt ein praktischer Nachteil: Nicht jeder hat schnelles oder unbegrenztes Internet. Große Downloads, Updates und Neuinstallationen sind schon heute ein Thema. Disc-Versionen waren für viele eine einfache und verlässliche Lösung. Wenn diese Möglichkeit wegfällt, trifft das vor allem Kunden, die auf Komfort, Beständigkeit und echte Wahlfreiheit angewiesen sind. Am Ende ist das Ende der Disc-Produktion kein kleiner Fortschritt in Richtung Zukunft, sondern für viele ein Rückschritt. Es schwächt den Gebrauchtmarkt, macht Spieler abhängiger und nimmt dem Medium ein wichtiges Stück Unabhängigkeit. Genau deshalb ist dieser Schritt für Kunden und Gamer ein großes Problem.

Irrfahrt Christopher Nolans The Odyssey wirkt wie ein Film, der von Anfang an auf große Bilder und starke Stimmung setzt. Schon die Idee des Stoffes passt zu Nolans Stil: eine Reise voller Gefahr, Zweifel und Spannung, erzählt nicht klein, sondern mit dem Anspruch auf echtes Kinoerlebnis. Bildgewaltig scheint hier das passende Wort zu sein. Man erwartet keine glatte, leichte Abenteuerreise, sondern monumentale Bilder, weite Räume und Szenen, die sich förmlich ins Gedächtnis brennen. Nolan nutzt solche Stoffe oft, um aus einzelnen Momenten etwas Großes zu machen, und genau das dürfte auch hier spürbar werden. Die Reise wird nicht nur erzählt, sie wird als visuelles Erlebnis inszeniert. Düster ist der Film vermutlich ebenso. Bei Nolan steckt hinter jeder großen Geschichte meist auch ein Gefühl von Bedrohung, Verlust oder innerem Konflikt. Das passt perfekt zu einem Stoff wie The Odyssey, in dem es nicht nur um Heimkehr, sondern auch um Prüfung, Irrweg und Überleben geht. Statt reiner Abenteuerromantik entsteht so eine schwerere, ernstere Atmosphäre. Gerade darin liegt die Stärke von großem Kino: wenn Bilder, Klang und Erzählung zusammenkommen und mehr erzeugen als bloße Handlung. The Odyssey dürfte genau so ein Film sein, der nicht einfach unterhält, sondern beeindruckt. Er will nicht nebenbei laufen, sondern den Raum füllen und das Publikum komplett in seine Welt ziehen. Das ist Kino mit Anspruch, Wucht und Nachhall. Kurz gesagt: Nolan macht aus The Odyssey vermutlich kein klassisches Abenteuer, sondern ein düsteres, visuell überwältigendes Epos, das zeigt, warum Kino auf der großen Leinwand am stärksten ist. Deswegen war Matze im weltweiten größten IMAX. Noch eine Irrfahrt Wer sich wohl auch ein wenig verfahren hat ist Apple. Die Vision pro war ja ne nette Idee aber nicht wirklich das, worauf die welt gewartet hat. Das hat wohl nun auch Apple festgestellt und konzentriert sich auf das, was wohl die größeren Chancen bei der breiten Masse hat – AR Brillen. Geplant sind wohl zwei Varianten, eine mit und eine ohne Displays. Und nochmal mit dem Schiff unterwegs Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced wirkt wie genau das Remake, auf das viele Fans gewartet haben.

Macca and Paul talk to Steve MinOn; First Name, Second Name: Best selling debut novel The journey will be long and difficult, one thousand miles. Try not to be too obvious. Stick to the backroads. You'll know you've arrived when you get there. Stephen Bolin leaves a bizarre note by his deathbed, asking his sisters to take his body back to his birthplace in Far North Queensland. When they ignore his request, Stephen's corpse makes the nocturnal pilgrimage alone. But what is compelling him and what will he find there? His journey, as a kind of jiangshi, takes him back through his turbulent family history: from his Chinese great-grandfather's life on the goldfields in 1860s Queensland, to his Scottish grandparents' migration to Australia as ten-pound Poms, and to his own coming of age and coming out in Brisbane and London. Original and satirical, First Name Second Name follows four generations of one family through a reckoning with racial, familial and sexual identity. Steve MinOn was an internationally awarded advertising copywriter and a restaurateur before becoming a writer of fiction and children's picture books. He grew up in North Queensland, and he now lives on Turrbal land in Magandjin/Brisbane. Steve's debut novel First Name Second Name (UQP 2025) won the Glendower Award for an Emerging Queensland Writer and was shortlisted for People's Choice at the Queensland Literary Awards. In 2026, it was shortlisted for the MUD Literary Award and nominated for the Dublin Literary Award. He has written often about outsiders and his family's mixed-race ancestral history, and his articles and short stories have been published in SBS Voices and various newspapers and anthologies. The post Sat, 1st August, 2026; Steve MinOn; Best selling debut novel; First Name, Second Name appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; even though we are Celebrating our 10th Year of Podcasting; we unfortunately exhausted all our energy on the Previous SDCC Reveals & Announcements Ep. So we are giving you a ReIssue episode instead from the Vault. (Originally Posted as Ep #143 - from October 2019). Original blurb: It’s a very special ep as we’re joined by not one, but two of favourite guests in Davey Damaged and Scotty so that’s right – it’s a Homer episode! Trent takes us through a vintage retrospective look at The Addams family by Playmates. Perfectly timed for Halloween, we wonder what could have been with this short-lived line and look to the future of the franchise as a new movie approaches. What characters didn’t get made, which ones make the camera glow and where does MC Hammer fit into it all? We make the jump to Show and Tell as Davey tries to trump us all with a purchase so large, we doubt it will actually fit in his toy room! There’s some DC, MOTU and even Final Fantasy options to choose from. Frank gives a lovely tribute showing that sometimes, the value of a toy; lays in more than its sticker price. Then it’s Quiz time and with Davey onboard, anything is possible. To say this episode goes off the rails is putting it mildly – but on the plus side we learnt that Trent can’t hold his liquor, Ben thinks photos record sound, Space Jam was an event and Rick Moranis is Trent’s muse. So hold on for this crazy ride that also serves as a farewell for one of the team…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ja, wir sprechen auch irgendwann über das aktuelle „Starfox“ auf der Switch 2, das eigentlich ein Remake von „Starfox 64“ ist und das war im Grunde schon ein in 3D aufgewärmtes „Starfox“. Aber Andre & Paul sabbern erstmal eine Runde über das Original aus dem Jahr 1993, preisen seinen Soundtrack, feiern seine technischen Errungenschaften, spötteln dann vielleicht hier und da über spätere Titel und dann, ja dann, geht es auch tatsächlich über „Starfox“ aus 2026.

The first year of President Trump's second term was a whirlwind of action: on immigration, on trade, on political retribution. But things seem to me to be slowing down quite a bit. Trump is incredibly unpopular, and he's now bogged down in a war with Iran that he doesn't seem capable of ending. He often appears more concerned with his many White House renovations than with whether the Republican Party can hold the House and the Senate in November. So what's going on in this administration? Where is this all going? It's hard to think of a journalist more qualified to answer those questions than Maggie Haberman. As a White House correspondent for The New York Times, she's published some of the hardest-hitting reporting about Trump's second act as president and the group of loyalists that now surrounds him. Haberman, alongside her New York Times colleague Jonathan Swan, just published an extraordinary chronicle of this extraordinary political moment, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.” In this conversation, we discuss how decisions get made in this White House, what Trump has achieved so far and what's really motivating him as we head toward the midterms. This episode contains strong language.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Wim Hof, originally episode 136 from 2017-02-08.Original writeup below:Don't get all wrapped and warm for this one - it's going to get incredibly frosty up in here... Chances are you may not already have made Wim's acquaintance - that's fine, for after this podcast you will most likely be digging around online and listening to his glorious cadence for hours to follow... If you have already broken the ice (skate over that pun) (and that one) with the man, you will surely be up to speed on The Wim Hof Technique, his apparently superhuman abilities to withstand cold, his infectiously positive and inspiring tones and talking points and his many accomplishments in the field of human endurance. Either way, this is a brilliant conversation (recorded from Wim's home in the outskirts of Amsterdam) which goes into everything you might want to know about the intriguing fellow himself.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINEPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Successive prime ministers have pledged to tackle some of the biggest crises affecting old and young: the UK's lack of vocational training and the chaos of social care. Now it's the turn of the latest PM Andy Burnham. In an impassioned speech he set out his ambition for a cross-party solution on social care but gave scant detail about how to fund it. Will this be the hill that Burnham dies on? Host Miranda Green is joined by deputy political editor Jim Pickard, north of England correspondent Jennifer Williams and the FT's public policy editor Chris Smyth to discuss. Plus, another ambitious plan to overhaul education, the ‘Burnham bounce', and what exactly is a PuFin?FOLLOW:Miranda: @greenmiranda & @greenmirandahere.bsky.social; Chris: @Smyth_Chris; Jim: @PickardJE and @pickardje.bsky.social and Jen: @jenwilliamsft.bsky.socialWant more?

Send us Fan MailFor girls and women growing up in the 80s, skincare included exfoliating your skin with apricot pits or pumice stone until you bled, and cleansing with Irish Spring bar soap. Makeup was bold and expressive, but it wasn't what it is today. We used Q-tips, and applicators that came with the product, or our fingers. We melted eyeliner with our lighters for that super-smooth application. There wasn't setting spray and there wasn't skincare, but man, was it fun. In this episode of Strangers With Kittens, we meet Michelle Spieler, a professional makeup artist with over 30 years in the industry. We talk beauty standards, makeup, and empowerment for women who are aging in a society that makes us feel invisible. Listen To This Brand New Episode NowMore About Michelle SpielerFounder of the Look-Good-Closeup-Club!  A 30 year professional makeup artist, with almost two decades in Hollywood production, She learned how to do makeup on HD cameras

In this final episode of the Events Demystified seven-year anniversary miniseries, host Anca Platon Trifan explains that “shadow AI” is often ordinary employees using tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, or browser extensions to work faster, unintentionally creating data paths outside company controls. She argues shadow AI reflects both employee responsibility and leadership gaps, citing Verizon's 2026 DBIR data on rising AI use, unauthorized services, and common exposed data types like source code. The episode covers AI security best practices: clear data classification with real examples (especially for events), minimum-necessary data sharing, risks from extensions and excessive agent permissions, the need for limited autonomy, auditability, a kill switch, vendor and integration due diligence, transparent monitoring, and safe incident reporting. Trifan shares a Bill.com virtual card fraud experience and closes with questions leaders should ask and a podcast break until September.

We look back at our conversation with Chef Josa Lalo Camarena - now at the Malarkey, when he was at República.   Original post from February 2025. This is a must-listen.  Chef Jose Camarena, Executive Chef at Portland's highly regarded República, may just be the youngest guest of over 400 on our podcast.  But you wouldn't know it if we hadn't drawn attention to that fact.  At just 24, he's in a position few others are at his age, and it's easy to see how he got as far as he's gotten at such a young age. We talk about his family Sunday dinners, how he became interested in the food industry and how his family lineage of hard work in horse grooming instilled in him the grit to work hard to reach success in a tough industry  We cover some of the places he's worked, who Lalo's Portland mentors have been, including chef Lauro Romero, who passed away two years ago, leaving a huge hole in many hearts. Chef Lalo will be appearing at Steelport Knife Company on 2/22 in the first of a series of knife skills classes Steelport is putting on at their Sandy Blvd factory, where you can meet him and learn some helpful knife skills.  Stay tuned to Right at the Fork for interviews with more Steelport chefs. We also talk about his Mazatlan favorite places, as well as his faves in Portland.  And we wish him well with his wedding coming up in March! https://www.mexico-forward.com/ @lalocamarena_ @republicapdx @steelportknifeco   Right at the Fork is supported by:  Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

We're diving into haunted waters this week with listener stories exploring eerie lakes, ghostly maritime encounters, and the strange pull of places where water and the supernatural seem to meet. Grab your life jacket, trust your instincts, and maybe think twice before wandering too close to the water after dark. Stories include: Near a remote lake in Bosnia, a family hears an unearthly scream in the night, only to discover a trail of blood possibly connected to the legendary Drekavac. An immersive Titanic exhibit takes a chilling turn when a mysterious man in period clothing vanishes and icy whispers seem to follow from beyond the grave. A four day lakeside haunting escalates into a possession that delivers a life saving warning years before disaster strikes. Aboard the Belle of Louisville steamship, one deceased crew member is still fighting for his life. Watch the Belle of Louisville's calliope play ‘Golden' here. Watch the video version here.

Commercial and industrial (C&I) battery storage has long been the missing middle of the energy storage market.  It's been too complex and expensive to scale like residential systems, but too small to compete with utility-scale projects.  That may finally be changing.  In this episode, Shayle sits down with Tim Hade, senior vice president at Voltus and founder of Brightfield Infrastructure, to discuss why C&I storage has historically struggled, why the economics are shifting dramatically, and why the next wave of distributed energy could be driven by commercial customers rather than utilities. They explore the four revenue streams that are making batteries more valuable, from demand charge management to emerging capacity markets, and examine how declining hardware costs, stable federal tax incentives, and AI-powered automation are reshaping project economics. Tim also explains how aggregating thousands of commercial batteries into virtual power plants could help hyperscalers bring new data centers online faster while easing pressure on an increasingly constrained electric grid. Shayle and Tim discuss: - Why commercial battery storage lagged behind residential and utility-scale markets - The four revenue streams driving today's C&I storage economics - How rising electricity prices and capacity shortages are changing customer demand - Why battery hardware costs have fallen by roughly one-third in 18 months - How AI could reduce project transaction costs by as much as 90% - The opportunity — and challenge — of aggregating thousands of distributed batteries into virtual power plants - Why data center growth and "bring your own capacity" programs could accelerate C&I storage adoption - Tim's outlook for the fastest-growing segment of the battery storage marketResources Latitude: Voltus is acquiring energy storage startup Brightfield AI Latitude: Google is Voltus' first Bring Your Own Capacity Latitude: Can VPPs unlock grid capacity for data centers?

America needs data centers to power AI, but few communities want one nearby. Michael talks with The Free Press senior editor and writer Joe Nocera about the growing battle over data centers—who benefits, who pays and whether transparency, tax revenue and new technology can ease local resistance. Then, listeners weigh in on jobs, electricity, water, farmland and whether states should pause construction as the artificial intelligence boom accelerates. Original air date 30 July 2026.

Just days into the Iran conflict, strikes had taken out much of the country's military leadership. Yet the conflict continues with a new regime installed in Tehran. With the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei unseen since the outbreak of war, who is really in charge now? And as peace negotiations continue to stall, what drives Tehran's decisions? Gavin Esler discusses the latest from Iran with Professor Ali Ansari, founding director of the Institute for Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews. • Find out if you're owed on car finance at refundclub.co.uk/drill • Refund Club is a trading style of Sandsford Law Limited, authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA no. 8008114).

President Trump is very unpopular right now. But polls show the Democratic Party is just as unpopular – if not more so. So what can the party do about it?  But to answer that question, you first have to understand what the Democratic Party is. That is, mechanically, what is it? What powers does it have? When you call the Democratic Party, who picks up the phone? And how can that party, the official party, be reinvented for this era? Ben Wikler has a unique perspective on this question. He transformed the Democratic Party of Wisconsin into a fund-raising, door-knocking powerhouse when he served as chair from 2019 to 2025. And he's shared some of his insights from winning elections in a swing state in his new book, “This Is The Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy.” In this conversation, we discuss Wikler's vision for a reinvigorated party, as well as the kinds of changes he thinks Democrats need to embrace if they want to build a bigger tent and a national majority.  Mentioned: “This Is How Democrats Win in Wisconsin” with Ben Wikler on The Ezra Klein Show “GOP midterm strategy: Make it a ‘hate election'” by Marc Caputo Book Recommendations: Master of the Senate by Robert A.
