Podcasts about A3

Ever tried to shave hours off a brutal layover and accidentally triggered a full‑blown travel saga? We did. What started as a seamless return from a Disney cruise turned into delay creep, code share finger‑pointing, and a nine‑hour airport marathon, complete with mystery “boarding passes” and luggage that chose its own adventure through Chicago and Phoenix.We walk you through the decision that set it all off, ditching a late nonstop for a midday connection, and the cascading consequences when ORD slipped, one notification at a time. You'll hear how our reservation got split, why system-by-system rebooking can box you into worse seats, and how airline apps often contradict reality. We also share small wins that mattered: fellow passengers who swapped to give us windows, a gate agent who overrode nonsense, and Bobbi at Alaska Baggage Services who delivered service with real care when everything else felt broken.This story doubles as a practical survival guide. We break down why winter hubs plus tight connections are a risky combo, how AirTags expose the truth about your bags, and the callback trick that stops your iPhone from screening out the one number you actually need. We talk IAH logistics, why A3 gates are a power-hunt purgatory, and the comfort calculus of first class when traveling with a knee injury. Most of all, we leave you with hard rules we'll follow next time: bias to nonstops, avoid code shares for critical legs, build buffers, and keep meds, chargers, and sleep gear in your carry-on.If you've ever watched your plans unravel one delay at a time, you'll feel seen and, we hope, better armed for your next trip. Listen now, subscribe for our full Marvel Day at Sea trip report next week, and share your best airport hacks.

Read the blog postTL;DR: Toyota's real competitive advantage is not its tools -- it is mutual trust and mutual respect. Leaders are responsible for cultivating both. When trust is present, employees speak up, problems surface early, and continuous improvement accelerates. Without it, Lean becomes mechanical and unsustainable.When executives discuss Toyota, the conversation often centers on tools.Kanban. Andon. Standardized work. A3 thinking.Those matter. But Toyota's sustained performance does not come from tools alone. It comes from the leadership philosophy that makes those tools work.At the center of that philosophy is mutual trust and mutual respect.Not as cultural decoration.As operational necessity.Toyota is explicit: improvement depends on people surfacing problems quickly. That only happens when trust flows in both directions.Toyota's own guiding principles website says they:"Foster a corporate culture that enhances both individual creativity and the value of teamwork, while honoring mutual trust and respect between labor and management."Leaders must trust employees to act responsibly.Employees must trust leaders to respond constructively.Without that reciprocity, performance deteriorates.

We all know what a debacle A3 was as far as marijuana goes and the idiocy of putting recreational marijuana into our state constitution was dumb as well. MO State Rep. Overcast has put forth 2 bills this session to try and right some of the wrongs written into the constitution. He's pushing to lift some of the restrictions on the people in dealing with marijuana and hemp. HB 2768 and HJR 106 are the bill numbers.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missouri-liberty-report--4329356/support.

Host Jamie Kitchen and guest Jorg Saar compare CO₂ with A2L/HFO-HFC blends and A3 options like propane (R290), explaining why CO₂ isn't new, what transcritical operation means, and why CO₂ can excel at heat recovery (especially in supermarkets). They also cover the tradeoffs—high pressures and added complexity for CO₂ versus flammability considerations for A2Ls/hydrocarbons—concluding there's no one-size-fits-all refrigerant; the best choice depends on the application.

Brian's Questions: Gentlemen, I thoroughly enjoy your podcast, so thank you for all that you do. What is you opinion on dog holes in the workbench? If you use them, how?  Include favorite accessories. Thank you again. Josh What is the best way to accurately put dog holes in your workbench without buying a $300 one time template tool? Josh Guy's Questions: Hi guys, Thanks for the awesome podcast, I learn new things with every show and for that I am so appreciative! I'm in the early stages of designing/building a dining table made from quarter sawn ash (just purchased a bunch of 4/4 lumber). I've designed the table based on a picture my wife showed me for inspiration. It is a trestle style table in which the two uprights are 16” wide by 4” thick. The ‘feet' or ‘bases' will be 30” wide by 6” thick, while the ‘trestle tops' which support the table top will be 34” wide by 6” thick. The thickness of these trestles concerns me both in how much they are going to weigh, and how much material they are going to require. I've read about the strength of lock miter joints and am intrigued by the idea of glueing up a panel and essentially creating a hollow ‘box' for the upright portion (boards would run vertically). I've read that these types of joints are very strong and I imagine they would be sufficient for this application (correct me if I'm wrong). I also like that they may give the appearance of using ultra thick 4” lumber. My question is whether you believe there will be enough wood movement in these hollow uprights to cause concern, as they will be constrained by both the feet and tops of the trestles? I just don't have enough anecdotal experience to have a good feel for how much movement is likely to occur. Are there any good “rule of thumbs” regarding how much movement is expected to occur? I know there are a million variable (humidity swing, plain sawn vs quarter sawn, species, etc.) Thanks for your consideration and response to my question! Evan Hi, I recently upgraded my benchtop planer from a straight-knife Ridgid model to an Oliver 10045 with a helical head. I was excited by all the reviews raving about the ultra-smooth finish, but I've been disappointed. I'm getting noticeable scalloping from the inserts, even after removing them all, thoroughly cleaning the inserts and seats, and properly re-torquing them with a torque wrench. It's still requiring way more sanding: starting with 80 grit (which takes forever to remove the scallops), then 120 grit (longer than with my old planer), before progressing normally. My old straight-knife Ridgid needed far less sanding overall. From my research, this scalloping seems pretty normal with standard helical heads. I've heard one temporary workaround is to run boards through 2-3 extra passes at the final thickness setting, offsetting or skewing the board slightly each time to better overlap the cutter paths and reduce the scalloping (making sanding easier). I plan to try that soon. I was saving for Grizzly helical-head jointer and planer upgrades, but now I'm worried about the same increased sanding time. A few questions: Is noticeable scalloping typical with most helical-head planers, including Grizzly and Oliver models? I've read that the Silent-Power spiral cutterblock on the Hammer A3 series produces a much smoother surface with minimal ripple or scalloping, requiring far less sanding than standard helical heads. Is that your experience? I'm now leaning toward a Hammer A3-31 combo machine down the road. I wanted separate jointer and planer for better workflow and time savings, but I can't deal with doubling my sanding time. For those with 12" combo machines like the A3-31, do you ever regret not going for a 16" model (e.g., A3-41) for the extra width capacity? Thanks for any insights. You guys are my go-to for real-world tool advice! Jeffery Hiughes Huy's Questions: Gentlemen, First let me say how much I appreciate your podcast for it's practical woodworking advice. I have a comment and question. The comment is in response to the podcast of yours that I listened to today regarding the future of reclaimed wood. I wonder if the future will include recycled wood products designed with the look, feel, and workability (or close) of natural wood? Just a thought. Anyway, here is my question: My workshop is an unheated 3rd bay of a garage. It is not insulated. I use a shop vac in conjunction with Home Depots dustopper for dust collection. Better than nothing but not perfect. The cold is a deterrent to want to work out there and am wondering about safe budget conscious heating options. What are the safety considerations to take into account (dust, fumes, other?) I have a Mr. Buddy Propane Heater that has some nice safety features but don't know if it's safe to use.  Do you have any recommendations on how to safely heat up a workspace?  Thank you.  James Aydelotte (aid-a-lot) Hello great podcasters, and fine woodworkers. :-) I am looking to replace the "Deluxe" fence on my 18" Jet bandsaw, since it is not parallel to the blade but is to the table, isn't adjustable, and will no longer clamp tightly to the rail. Do you have a recommendation for a replacement bandsaw fence that makes it easy to resaw and cut small pieces. Also, I am looking for one that is adjustable to ensure it is parallel to the blade. One under $200 would be ideal. Thank you, gentlemen!  George

Nous refusons de vivre dans un monde monolithique dans lequel les États-Unis nous imposent une forme extrême de capitalisme de droite et de conservatisme, sans quoi ils ne nous considèrent ! » Nations unies, salle du Conseil de sécurité. Trois notes, les diplomates s'installent. La présidence somalienne prend le micro : la réunion 10085 du Conseil de sécurité est déclarée ouverte. Ce 5 janvier 2026, la désapprobation africaine face à l'intervention des États-Unis au Venezuela est cette fois-ci exprimée en termes diplomatiques, par la voix de l'ambassadeur Lewis Brown. Le représentant du Liberia aux Nations unies s'exprime devant le Conseil au nom du A3, le groupe des trois membres africains non-permanents du Conseil de sécurité : « De tels développements représentent des défis sérieux, non seulement par rapport à la stabilité interne du Venezuela, mais aussi parce qu'ils soulignent l'impératif de sauvegarder, plus largement, la paix et la sécurité de la région. Le A3 demeure ferme dans son engagement en faveur des principes fondamentaux du droit international, y compris le respect total de la souveraineté et de l'intégrité territoriale des États, tels qu'inscrits dans la charte des Nations unies, dans l'intérêt de la stabilité régionale et de la paix internationale. » Plusieurs gouvernements et organisations ont également marqué leur protestation par des communiqués : le Ghana, la Namibie, l'Union africaine ou l'Alliance des États du Sahel. Interventionnisme décomplexé  Le cas vénézuélien est devenu emblématique d'un interventionnisme décomplexé. Et l'Afrique est d'autant plus concernée par cette politique de puissance qu'elle en a elle-même été la cible. Dès février 2025, des frappes américaines sont déclenchées contre des cibles de l'organisation État islamique dans les montagnes du Golis, dans le nord de la Somalie. À la fin de l'année, c'est le Nigeria qui fait l'objet d'une intervention américaine, préparée et justifiée par un argumentaire sur mesure : l'existence d'un prétendu massacre de chrétiens dans le pays. Des frappes censées viser l'État islamique sont déclenchées le jour de Noël, le 25 décembre. En ce début d'année 2026, certains sur place s'interrogent encore sur les motivations réelles de l'intervention américaine… Comme le professeur Muktar Omar Bunza, qui enseigne l'histoire sociale à l'Université du Nord-Ouest à Sokoto, au Nigeria. « Avec ce qu'il s'est passé au Venezuela, explique-t-il, les gens ont l'impression que les Américains peuvent prendre n'importe quel prétexte, comme par exemple cette histoire de persécutions religieuses, que n'importe quoi peut servir de justification pour que les Américains s'emparent des ressources d'un endroit. Donc, les gens ont peur, ils craignent que ce soit juste une étape, ils perdent confiance dans l'idée d'une démocratie américaine qui respecterait les droits humains, ou qui les défendrait ». Le Grand invité AfriqueOusmane Ndiaye: «L'Afrique subit déjà la brutalité de Trump» L'inquiétude est d'autant plus forte que la parole développée autour de cette politique de puissance s'émancipe largement des faits, de la réalité du terrain. L'exemple nigérian n'est pas unique. L'Afrique du Sud a elle aussi dû endurer les déformations trumpiennes de la vérité. Depuis son retour au pouvoir, Donald Trump s'est érigé en défenseur des fermiers blancs qu'il considère victimes d'un « génocide » en Afrique du Sud. Cette affirmation ne s'appuie pourtant sur aucun fait. « Il nous ramène dans notre passé ! » Se rendre dans une ferme au nord de Pretoria aide à s'en rendre compte. Ici on élève des poulets et l'on produit des choux ou des poivrons. Le Dr. Ethel Zulu est nutritionniste de formation. Il y a une dizaine d'années, elle a choisi de devenir agricultrice, elle est aujourd'hui à la tête d'une propriété d'une vingtaine d'hectares. Le crime en milieu rural, raconte-t-elle, touche aussi (et surtout) la communauté noire. Elle en a elle-même été victime. « Avant, explique-t-elle, nous occupions notre maison entièrement, mais nous avons décidé d'y installer aussi certains de nos employés, pour ne pas être seules ma fille et moi. Comme ça on se sent un peu plus en sécurité. Vous savez, cette question de la sécurité dans les fermes est un problème qui touche toute la communauté agricole, ce n'est pas du tout un problème racial mais bien un problème national. » Sa réaction aux propos du président américain, à ses affirmations sur une communauté blanche prise pour cible et l'existence d'un « génocide » ? « Cet homme est raciste, c'est tout ! Parce que les incidents que subissent les agriculteurs noirs dans leurs exploitations, comme moi, personne n'en a parlé. Nous venons par exemple de perdre un cadre de notre coopérative - AFASA. Le 26 décembre 2025, ils sont entrés armés chez lui, lui ont dérobé tout son argent, puis l'ont tué ! Et on nous dit que les agriculteurs blancs sont plus vulnérables que les agriculteurs noirs ? Ce sont des mensonges, des absurdités, nous sommes tous des cibles ! D'une certaine manière, ces propos divisent le pays en raison de notre histoire. Nous essayons d'aller de l'avant, et lui, il nous ramène dans notre passé ! » Ethel Zulu sort son téléphone et ouvre WhatsApp. Apparaissent alors de nombreux groupes communautaires, symbole de l'entraide entre voisins. « Tous les membres sont des agriculteurs du coin… Là, c'est notre équipe d'urgence… » Dans ces groupes, les noms Afrikaners, de la minorité blanche, se mêlent aux noms africains. Illustration d'une communauté d'agriculteurs soudée, victime de la même criminalité, parce qu'isolée en milieu rural, loin des postes de police.  « Not in our name » De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, malgré le rappel des faits et de la réalité de terrain, Donald Trump persiste. Le documentaliste Louis Gaigher et plusieurs dizaines d'Afrikaners ont co-signé une lettre ouverte dans la presse sud-africaine, « Not in our name », 'Pas en notre nom'. Une réponse aux propos américains. « Je pense que ce qu'il fait ici, ou plutôt le genre de rhétorique qu'il utilise, relève complètement de la suprématie blanche. Je trouve cela extrêmement opportuniste. Je ne peux parler qu'en mon nom, je refuse qu'on me présente comme un réfugié ou quelqu'un qui souffre à cause du gouvernement postapartheid et de la démocratie. »  En Afrique du Sud, 35 ans après la fin de l'Apartheid, la minorité blanche est encore très puissante économiquement et politiquement. Elle détient une grande majorité des terres du pays. Si la Nation arc-en-ciel est confrontée à bien des défis, Louis Gaigher et les autres signataires de cette tribune, refusent d'être « des pions dans les guerres culturelles américaines ». « L'administration américaine attaque notre politique de redistribution des terres. Mais ici nous avons l'État de droit qui doit toujours être protégé. Et c'est complètement ridicule que les Américains se plaignent de notre loi sur l'expropriation sans compensation ​alors qu'ils font précisément la même chose, et de manière très violente, avec le Venezuela, ou encore avec leurs projets pour le Groenland ! » Les cas nigérian et sud-africain viennent en tout cas confirmer que la manipulation décomplexée de la réalité est l'un des piliers de la gouvernance trumpienne. « Ce que Donald Trump a fait, c'est qu'il a reconfiguré ce que nous considérions comme ‘la vérité', analyse Trust Matsilele, maître de conférences à l'Université de Birmingham. La vérité ou les faits sont maintenant des concepts fragiles. À partir du moment où ils ne servent plus ses intérêts, ils peuvent être contestés ou rejetés. C'est ce qu'on pourrait appeler une ‘politisation de la vérité'. Certaines des choses qui avaient été vues comme des vérités établies sont remises en cause : le changement climatique, les concepts de démocratie et d'État de droit. Tout cela a été bousculé par la vision du monde de Donald Trump ». Le chercheur s'arrête sur les risques que fait courir un tel comportement : « La vérité doit être la vérité, quelle que soit votre position. À partir du moment où vous commencez à politiser tout cela, on bascule de la vérité objective à la propagande, la mésinformation, la désinformation et les fake news… » Des opinions publiques africaines partagées À Kinshasa, dans le quartier commerçant de la Gombe, la circulation est encore timide et les embouteillages n'ont pas encore fait leur apparition, ce matin-là. Les Kinois sont déjà sur le chemin du travail. Certains, comme Jacquemain, disent la crainte que leur inspire désormais Trump, en dépit de son engagement en faveur du processus de paix en République démocratique du Congo. « Auparavant, quand il était arrivé au pouvoir, on pensait qu'il allait faire de bonnes choses, surtout pour notre pays la RDC. On pensait que c'était dans notre intérêt, la population congolaise. Mais maintenant, quand on constate la politique qu'il est en train d'amener dans le monde, on se demande : est-ce que ce n'est pas par intérêt pour nos minerais ? On a ensuite vu ce qu'il s'est passé au Venezuela, et puis ça n'est pas encore fini, on attend encore maintenant bientôt le Groenland et tout ça. On se demande : qu'est-ce qu'il se passe dans la tête de ce président-là ? » Patrick, lui aussi, déplore les coups portés à l'ordre international. « Quand il est venu, regrette-t-il, il a montré l'image de quelqu'un qui voulait la paix. Maintenant, on est en train de remarquer qu'il crée des problèmes. Apparemment, il ne respecte pas les lois internationales. Il y a eu la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Après, les gens se sont réunis pour établir des lois qu'ils devraient respecter. Apparemment, ces lois, lui, ne lui disent rien. Il fait ce qu'il veut. Alors, ça fait craindre. » Cela provoque des débats également à Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire, comme entre ces étudiants en anglais rassemblés dans une salle d'université. Beaucoup admirent le président américain. « Il faut dire que c'est un gars bien, estime Daniel, il exerce un pouvoir très exécutif. Ses partisans valorisent son leadership et aussi sa manière de prendre des décisions… Quand il veut faire, il fait ». « Le monsieur il est simple, avance de son côté Emmanuella. Il te dit “fais ça”, tu ne fais pas ça, il te voit directement comme un ennemi… Pour diriger, il faut avoir de la poigne, on ne peut pas diriger avec les sentiments ». L'interventionnisme américain au Venezuela ou au Nigeria n'émeut pas Ange, qui n'a pas 20 ans. Il voit Trump comme un modèle à suivre et approuve sa posture envers les États africains : « C'est un monsieur qui agit par intérêt et ses relations avec l'Afrique sont plutôt par intérêt. ‘Je vous apporte quelque chose si vous m'apportez quelque chose. Si vous ne m'apportez rien, je ne vous apporte rien !' Je pense que Donald Trump a eu cette intelligence-là et il fait bien. Un pays n'a pas d'amis, il n'a que des intérêts. Et je pense que Donald Trump applique cela et ça me fait plaisir de voir cela ». Ange rêve d'étudier aux États-Unis. Son espoir paraît compromis depuis le 1er janvier et la suspension de la délivrance de visas accordés aux ressortissants ivoiriens, une mesure jugée discriminatoire par beaucoup. « Une nouvelle approche mercantiliste » La diplomatie trumpienne navigue-t-elle à vue, comme l'assurent certains observateurs, ou a-t-elle une cohérence et une logique profonde ? Pour le professeur Adekeye Adebajo de l'Université de Pretoria, la politique internationale de Donald Trump s'inscrit dans le temps long de l'interventionnisme américain. « Je pense, explique cet universitaire, que ce que fait Trump s'inscrit dans la continuité de ce que les États‑Unis ont fait par le passé, car je ne crois pas qu'il soit forcément exact de le présenter comme une aberration totale. Il y a trente‑cinq ans, George Bush Père a envoyé des troupes américaines au Panama et ils y ont arrêté le dictateur Manuel Noriega, l'ont littéralement enlevé et emmené aux États‑Unis pour y être jugé et emprisonné… Donc, si nous connaissons notre histoire, nous savons que de nombreuses administrations américaines ont fait exactement ce que Trump a fait, ou des choses similaires ».  Le chercheur voit également dans le regard trumpien sur le monde une doctrine qui associe une nouvelle fois la puissance, le commerce et l'accès aux ressources minières. « Je pense que, fondamentalement, il y a un principe : il s'agit d'une nouvelle approche mercantiliste qui consiste essentiellement à freiner la mainmise de la Chine sur les minerais rares et à s'assurer que les États‑Unis aient effectivement accès à ces ressources. On a vu que ses efforts de “paix” dans la région des Grands Lacs, en RDC, au Rwanda, en Ukraine et ailleurs, ont aussi comporté des accords miniers. L'intervention et l'enlèvement du président vénézuélien portent évidemment aussi sur le pétrole, et je pense donc qu'une grande partie de tout cela tourne autour de la Chine, de l'équilibrage de la puissance chinoise et des garanties qu'elle ne puisse pas rivaliser avec les États‑Unis ». Adekeye Adebajo insiste sur un troisième aspect : la diplomatie trumpienne est marquée par sa volonté de défaire le multilatéralisme. C'est ainsi que les États-Unis sont récemment sortis de 66 organisations internationales. Et c'est ainsi qu'ils ont fermé l'Usaid, l'Agence américaine pour le développement international. Usaid : les lourdes conséquences d'une fermeture Le Soudan du Sud est l'un des pays qui en sort le plus affecté. L'assistance américaine a été divisée par plus de quatorze entre 2024 et 2025. Il n'aura fallu que quelques semaines après l'annonce de la fin d'Usaid pour en mesurer les conséquences dans la localité de Gurei, à l'ouest de la capitale du Soudan du Sud, Juba. Le centre de nutrition de Gurei prend en charge des enfants en malnutrition sévère. D'habitude très fréquenté, il est quasiment vide en ce mois de mars 2025. Les aliments thérapeutiques utilisés pour traiter la malnutrition infantile, les fameux sachets de pâte d'arachide enrichie fournis par l'Usaid, ne sont déjà plus disponibles depuis environ un mois. Quand Helen Furu vient faire examiner son fils Joseph, 1 an, elle doit faire ce constat douloureux : depuis la dernière visite, sa situation ne s'améliore pas, faute d'aliments thérapeutiques. « Mon mari est fonctionnaire et ça arrive souvent qu'il ne soit pas payé, confie Helen Furu. Quant à moi, quand j'étais enceinte de Joseph, je travaillais sur le marché et je me suis épuisée. Quand il est né, il était très faible et chétif. Quand il a été pris en charge ici, avec les traitements, son état s'est un peu amélioré. Chaque lundi, je viens ici pour le suivi mais ça fait un moment que les traitements à base de pâte d'arachide ne sont plus distribués, je ne sais pas trop quel est le problème. Cela m'inquiète car, quand il prend ce complément, il va mieux. J'ai envie de dire aux Américains de ne pas arrêter de soutenir les enfants du Soudan du Sud. Dans notre pays, très peu de gens vivent bien. La grande majorité souffre car il n'y a pas de travail ». Le directeur du centre de Gurei, Sarafino Doggal, porte une blouse blanche brodée du logo de l'Usaid, vestige de temps révolus. Debout dans son bureau face à un mur de tableaux statistiques, il appelle au soutien pour faire face aux besoins énormes de la population : « Hier, par exemple, nous avons reçu 325 patients venus de différents quartiers. Nous les recevons, mais le problème c'est que nous n'avons pas de médicaments. Il y a de nombreux enfants en situation de malnutrition. Vous voyez tous ces patients ? Ils viennent à la clinique le matin sans avoir pris de petit-déjeuner, pas même un thé. Ils vont passer toute leur journée ici, et puis rentrer chez eux où il n'y aura rien à manger. Les chefs communautaires m'ont dit que la situation empire, surtout en ce qui concerne la malnutrition infantile, à cause de l'arrêt des aliments thérapeutiques. Les enfants et leurs mères souffrent énormément. » Plusieurs mois ont passé et les conséquences de la fin de l'Usaid continuent à se faire sentir sur le continent, ailleurs. Comme à Addis-Abeba, la capitale éthiopienne. Aster pousse le lourd portail gris et entre dans la petite cour ombragée qui jouxte une école. Du linge encore mouillé pend sur deux longues cordes attachées à une maison blanche. Cet après-midi, une dizaine de jeunes travailleuses du sexe ont trouvé refuge, comme elle, dans ce centre d'accueil et de prévention du Sida de l'ONG éthiopienne Ishdo : « Je viens ici pour prendre une douche, me soigner, et on ne me demande pas de payer en échange. Je suis ici tous les jours depuis cinq mois, et cet endroit est très important pour moi. Je me sens heureuse et en sécurité ici. » Depuis son ouverture en décembre 2024, ce centre d'accueil est ouvert 7 jours sur 7. Hiwot Mekonnen est l'infirmière en cheffe de la structure : « Nos patientes passent le test de dépistage du VIH. Nous leur proposons également des services de planification familiale, un dépistage des problèmes de santé mentale, des violences sexistes et un test du cancer du col de l'utérus. » Plusieurs fois par semaine, l'équipe médicale organise aussi des séances de prévention, dans une petite salle aux murs tapissés d'informations sur la contraception féminine. Des préservatifs sont également à leur disposition. L'arrêt des financements de l'Usaid, bailleur principal d'Onusida qui finance la structure, a frappé de plein fouet les activités du centre. « Ces deux derniers mois, nous n'avons pu organiser ni les séances de prévention, ni les tests, explique Hiwot Mekonnen. Et si les femmes continuent leur activité sans préservatifs, cela augmentera la transmission du VIH. La situation est instable, et j'ai beaucoup de doutes ». Ces dernières années pourtant, les efforts d'Onusida avaient porté leurs fruits : 94% des personnes diagnostiquées séropositives recevaient ici un traitement antirétroviral, dit ARV. Désormais, l'agence de l'ONU doit compter sur le mémorandum signé en décembre dernier entre les gouvernements éthiopien et américain, d'un montant d'1 milliard et demi de dollars. Objectif affiché : « Renforcer les systèmes de santé publique et la prévention des maladies… »

In this absolutely, positively NO Bullshido kickoff episode, Adam Hoots sits down with Brian Chiles and Mike Chiles—two brothers with deep roots in relationships, leadership, and Lean thinking lived out in the real world. Brian came into construction from a teaching/coaching and project management background; Mike brings 20+ years in the industry, raising four kids while remaining relentless about respect for people and building teams that work together. This conversation is equal parts family, field, and flow. The Chiles Bros unpack why Lean is not a tool, why relationships are the real work, and how the best leaders "feed the hungry" instead of wasting energy trying to convince people who don't want it. They talk about being curious, not judgmental, the difference between explaining tools vs. teaching them, and why the 87/13 (character over competency) shows up, whether you like it or not. If you're trying to build trust, reduce conflict, and lead people—not just tasks—this one is a straight shot of Old Dawg wisdom with a Lean Geek edge. KEY TAKEAWAYS:  •       Feed the Hungry: Stop spending 80% of your time trying to win over the 20% who don't care. Find the receptive people and build momentum through them. •       Tools Don't Stick Without Trust: It's easy to explain A3, 5S, and planning tools. It's hard to teach them without relationships and psychological safety. •       Optimize the Whole: The best projects don't pit field vs. office. They create one team—shared reality, shared plan, shared wins. •       Be Curious, Not Judgmental: Great leaders pause before reacting, look for the system issue, and consider what wounds/stress might be driving behavior. •       87/13 Leadership: Your character is influencing people whether you intend it or not—choose whether that influence builds trust or triggers defensiveness. EPISODE QUOTES (paraphrased): •       "Find the hungry—and feed them. Don't waste your fire on people who don't want it." •       "It's easy to explain the tools. Teaching them takes trust." •       "You can feel the health of a weekly work plan meeting the same way you can feel a locker room." •       "People protect their wounds, but they'll brag about their scars." •       "Your character is influencing the jobsite whether you mean it to or not—lead for good."

What happens when the danger isn't on the job, but waiting at home? Robbie Doerr was a veteran firefighter who never imagined the greatest threat would come from someone he trusted. When Evansville, Indiana, is rocked by the murder of a beloved member of their community, the police have very few clues to go on to find the killer. With no murder weapon, witnesses who saw nothing, and no known enemies to look into, the case should have hit a wall. However, the clue they needed to propel the case forward was in the form of one deleted phone call that the killer never thought would see the light of day.  Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for True Crime Connections Podcast:True Crime Connections is a survivor-led podcast where stories of abuse, trauma, and resilience are shared with raw honesty and purpose.

The United Nations Security Council's first meeting of 2026 heard a global chorus of UN member states strongly denounce the United States' strike in Venezuela as a grave violation of the UN Charter, although a US representative defended it as a "surgical law enforcement operation".At Monday's emergency session, Sun Lei, China's deputy permanent representative to the UN, urged Washington to heed the international community's "overwhelming voice", comply with international law and the UN Charter, halt actions that infringe on other countries' sovereignty and security, stop toppling Venezuela's government, and return to dialogue and negotiations as the path to a political solution.Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, seized and brought to the US on Saturday after a large-scale US strike in the South American nation, pleaded not guilty in federal court in New York on Monday to charges of narco-terrorism. Crowds of protesters gathered outside the courthouse, many voicing opposition to the US action against Venezuela.Sun expressed China's "deep shock" and strong condemnation of what he described as the "unilateral, illegal and bullying acts" of the US, and he called for Washington to ensure the safety of Maduro and his wife, and to release them immediately."The US has placed its own power above multilateralism and military actions above diplomatic efforts,"Sun said, warning that such actions pose a grave threat to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean and even internationally.He said the US military strikes "wantonly trampled" on Venezuela's sovereignty and violated core tenets of the UN Charter, including the principles of sovereign equality, noninterference in internal affairs, peaceful settlement of international disputes, and prohibition of the use of force in international relations."The lessons of history are a stark warning," Sun said, adding that military means are not the solution to international problems, and the indiscriminate use of force will only lead to greater crises.He cited past US actions, such as bypassing the Security Council to launch military operations against Iraq, attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, and the imposition of economic sanctions, military strikes and armed occupations in Latin America and the Caribbean.Those actions caused persistent conflict, instability and immense suffering for ordinary people, he said.The envoy reiterated that China firmly supports the Venezuelan government and people in safeguarding their sovereignty, security and legitimate rights and interests, and supports countries in the region in upholding Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace.He called on the US to change course, cease bullying and coercive practices, and develop relations and cooperation with countries in the region on the basis of mutual respect, equality and noninterference in internal affairs.Addressing the UN meeting, US economist Jeffrey Sachs said that the US military action and ongoing pressure violate Article 2, Section 4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.Sachs, president of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, called these actions part of a long-standing US pattern of "covert regime change", citing a historical record of 70 such operations between 1947 and 1989 alone.The US should "immediately cease and desist from all explicit and implicit threats or uses of force against Venezuela", he said.Sachs said, "Peace, and the survival of humanity, depends on whether the United Nations Charter remains a living instrument of international law, or is allowed to wither into irrelevance."At the meeting, Russia's UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, also called for the immediate release of Maduro and his wife.The Russian envoy called the US military action in Venezuela a "crime cynically perpetrated" and a harbinger of a return to an era of "lawlessness", stressing that any conflicts must be resolved through dialogue as enshrined in the UN Charter.Backers of the US military operation in Venezuela, including Argentina, framed the action as a law-enforcement, anti-narco-terrorism step and argued it could open a path to restoring democracy.Representatives of many countries pushed back by arguing that democracy cannot be delivered through force and coercion, and that any political outcome must be decided by Venezuelans through peaceful and lawful means.Leonor Zalabata Torres, Colombia's UN envoy, said that "democracy cannot be promoted or defended through violence or coercion", and Venezuela deserves peace and democracy, prosperity and dignity, with a government whose sovereignty is defined by no one but the Venezuelan people and their institutions.Mexico's UN envoy, Hector Vasconcelos, warned that "regime change by external actors and the application of extraterritorial measures" is contrary to international law and that, historically, all such actions have done is to exacerbate conflicts and weaken the social and political fabric of nations.Paula Narvaez Ojeda, Chile's UN representative, noted that foreign interference caused extreme damage to her nation, and she stressed that democracy is best recovered through "the strength of organized citizens and through our institutions".Spain's representative to the UN, Hector Gomez Hernandez, said that democracy "cannot be imposed by force" and "force never brings more democracy".Brazil's UN ambassador, Sergio Franca Danese, said that international norms are "mandatory and universal" and do not allow for exceptions based on ideological, geopolitical or economic interests, such as the "exploitation of natural or economic resources".The envoy dismissed the notion that "the end justifies the means", saying that such reasoning lacks legitimacy and grants the strongest the right to define what is just or unjust while imposing decisions on the weakest.Representatives from other countries also emphasized that the US military intervention constituted a fundamental breach of the UN Charter and the principles of sovereign equality.France's representative said that when a permanent member of the Security Council violates the UN Charter, it "chips away at the very foundation of the international order".South Africa warned that "no nation can claim to be legally or morally superior" to another.Pakistan said that unilateral military action "contravenes these sacrosanct principles", while the A3 group, consisting of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia and Liberia, said full respect for states' sovereignty and territorial integrity under the UN Charter is an essential foundation for international cooperation and peaceful coexistence.

Finding the root cause of an erratic signal can feel like chasing a ghost, especially when your trend lines show noise that shouldn't be there. In this session, we walk through a real-world troubleshooting scenario involving a Yamaha robot simulation where the A3 axis exhibited mysterious spikes. While it initially looked like signal noise or a math error in Studio 5000, the investigation led deep into the interaction between the PLC and the Ignition SCADA system. We explore why a standard cross-reference in the PLC didn't reveal the culprit and how switching to read-only communications finally exposed a hidden bidirectional tag write.We also discuss the common trap of "patching" problems with software filters instead of identifying the source. Whether it is a bad shield on an analog line or an accidental setting in your HMI, understanding the "why" behind the spike is what separates a technician from a parts changer. Additionally, we touch on the challenges of modern Ethernet troubleshooting, the limitations of Wireshark without port mirroring, and why the "View Diagnostics" tool in Ignition is a game-changer for identifying communication conflicts.Helping you become a better technician so you will always be in demandNot sure what video to watch next?

And like most things involving the president, the moves aren't without their critics — including some you might not normally expect pushback from. Trump's rapid response team highlighted the two vetoes: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2006153283996381333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2006153283996381333%7Ctwgr%5E79e6ef2350ae826bc802e9e5d82d5c97bad630de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-issues-first-vetoes-second-term%2F The “Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act” is a bill aimed at expanding the land set aside for the Miccosukee Tribe inside Everglades National Park by officially including a section known as Osceola Camp. Trump had a couple of issues with this. The residential community in that area “was constructed in 1935, without authorization, in a low area that was raised with fill material,” Trump's explanation read. “None of the current structures in the Osceola Camp are over 50 years old, nor do they meet the other criteria to be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places,” Trump wrote to the House. He added that, “the Miccosukee Tribe has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.” That appears to be a direct reference to the tribe's publicized opposition — including a lawsuit against the Trump administration — to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida, as noted by The Associated Press. The “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act,” meanwhile, is a bill designed to make it easier for rural Colorado communities to complete a long‑planned water pipeline project that will facilitate drinking water to people in the Arkansas River Valley. Trump appeared to take specific issue with the price tag and repayment plans for this project. “It was originally authorized … in a bill signed by President Kennedy in 1962,” Trump said. “For decades it was unbuilt, largely because the AVC was economically unviable.” “More than $249 million has already been spent on the AVC, and total costs are estimated to be $1.3 billion,” Trump wrote. “H.R. 131 would continue the failed policies of the past by forcing Federal taxpayers to bear even more of the massive costs of a local water project — a local water project that, as initially conceived, was supposed to be paid for by the localities using it. “Enough is enough. My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.” The bill was backed and pushed by Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert — normally a staunch supporter of Trump's — who seemed incensed with the president's veto and vowed that “this isn't over.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EagleEdMartin/status/2006700820432130068?s=20  to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???

Two podcast hosts walk into a recording studio and explore what it actually takes to get real stories out of robotics pioneers, why humanoids might not need to do everything to be useful, and where the real optimism in automation lies.Brian Heater, Managing Editor at A3 and host of the Automated podcast, joins the show to share what he's learned from candid conversations with industry pioneers like Rodney Brooks and Brad Porter. We discuss why robots don't need to be fully general purpose to be useful, why timing matters when adopting new technology, and why stepping away to return with fresh eyes applies as much to workflows as it does to building anything.The conversation also explores the human side of automation: exoskeletons helping people become mobile again, prosthetics inspired by a childhood encounter in Pakistan, and wearables being developed for Parkinson's patients. These applications (along with aging in place and caregiver shortages) are what give Brian optimism about where robotics is headed.In this episode, find out:Why most robotics journalism misses the mark and what Brian advises new reporters to avoidWhat Amazon-level scale actually looks like compared to everyone elseWhat industry pioneers think about humanoid robots and timing adoptionHow exoskeletons, prosthetics, and Parkinson's solutions are driving real impactWhy knowing when to step away and return with fresh eyes applies to building anythingThe human stories from Automated that show why this technology mattersBrian's optimism about the future of automationEnjoying the show?

The jump from pilots and assembly onsite takes a lot, not to mention being able to do so reliably and safely. I've spoken to a lot of smart people, and it seems as though we may underestimate what it's going to take to get there.”“It comes back to the human element. The end goal of a lot of manufacturing is to make people's lives easier.

Dylan Cole, co-production designer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, discusses his new Avatar-filled book Creating Worlds, the upcoming DisneyLand attractions based on A2 an A3, and much more! Irayo to my phenomenal co-hosts  @becomingnavi  and Arnaud Claudet from Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

What practical advice could leaders and managers implement right now in their organizations to increase productivity and decrease friction between disparate elements of their companies? How can managers reexamine legacy processes that have remained in place simply because they were, and reimagine them for the specific challenges of today's business environment?Donald C. Kieffer is  a lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management, the founder of consulting firm ShiftGear Work Design, and the author of the new book There's Got to Be a Better Way: How to Deliver Results and Get Rid of the Stuff That Gets in the Way of Real Work.Greg and Donald discuss the concept of dynamic work design. Donald shares stories of challenges in work design across various industries, including healthcare, banking, and software. He also explains how dynamic work design focuses on understanding and improving human work by making the invisible elements of work visible, reducing inefficiencies, and promoting incremental improvements. With a bit of attention to detail and careful setup, systems and processes can be honed to better serve their businesses. Donald points to mistaken beliefs that senior managers often hold about work processes and emphasizes the importance of regulating work to maintain flow, avoiding the political dynamics that arise from inefficiencies, and managing by observing and understanding the real work, allowing organizations to work smarter and harder. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Injecting discovery into work09:15: If you're firefighting to run the day-to-day business, you have no time to think about the future, to even think about the strategy or think about what's happening. So, we're much more about improvement, about incremental improvement. What we are about is discovery. So the idea is that every action that you take in business, be it at whatever level, at the strategic level or the frontline level, is based on the assumptions that activity will cause an improvement. And so we run it as an experiment and say, instead of measuring the plan, we measure: did the activity actually do what you thought? And if it did, great, let's do more. If it didn't, why not? And so we inject discovery into the whole idea of doing, of human work against the target at every level.If you can't draw the work you can't fix it16:14: I have a saying I use all the time that I love, which is, if you can't draw the work, you don't understand it, and you certainly can't fix it. And it comes from... [16:46] And I think we ask leaders all the time, can you draw it? Can you show it? They can't do it. They think they do it in their head. And this is the thing—why these tools, like A3 and different problem-solving tools, work—is that when you have to write down the problem statement, or when you have to draw the work, it moves it from that pattern-matching part of your brain, where you think you know it, to the rational part of your brain, where it shows you, I'm not really sure.Why we blame people instead of the work design the work36:53: If you see a problem, you tend to blame the person who's nearest the problem, even though it could have been caused way far away, because most of the time there could have been something they did, they could have done to keep it from happening. But you know, if there are like 500 opportunities per problem to happen, one or two of them are gonna get through, even though they're not that person's fault. So I think it's just something very human in us, which is why we call this work design. This is not about people; this is about the design of the work that's usually been ad hoc.On helping people do good work57:23: People want to do good work, meaningful work. Go find the stuff that's getting in their way, even if it's stuff you've put in the way, and get out of the way. Help them. Help them with the design of work. I know it's good for business. There are stories galore in the book about how points on the board, but I'll tell you why I do it when I should be sitting on the back porch collecting Social Security and drinking beer. It's because of the look on people's faces. We can actually go to work and be productive no matter what their level is and feel like they're part of something good and doing.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Takashi TanakaRoss PerotHarley-DavidsonClayton ChristensenDaniel KahnemanFrederick Winslow TaylorJugaadSteven J.

In this week's edition of The Management Brief, Josh Howell, LEI President, and Mark Reich, LEI Chief Engineer Strategy, speak with Nelson Repenning, School of Management Distinguished Professor of System Dynamics and Organization Studies at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Nelson also is the co-author of There's Got to Be a Better Wayi and the Co-Founder and Chief Social Scientist of ShiftGear Work Design, a consultancy that focuses on understanding the factors that contribute to the successful implementation, execution, and improvement of business processes.  This month The Management Brief is presenting theories that are guiding organizational transformations, including Nelson's dynamic work design, an “anti-initiative” approach for redesigning work to solve the right problems effectively and, in doing so, increase productivity, profits, and associate engagement.   Dynamic work design helps organizations challenge the mindset that they can forecast and plan — budget, strategy, human resources, capital — with accuracy. Nelson's alternative: “If we accept that the world is not perfectly predictable, we might go back and design some of our core processes a little bit differently to create an organization that not only plans but also is capable of learning from experience and adapting to the new information they get as they go.”   Dynamic work design is based on five principles:  Solve the right problem: This principle is “a charge to focus on bite-sized pieces of important problems and use structured methods, whether it's the A3 or DMAIC or whatever your preferred version is to make sure that you actually solve that problem in a fundamental way,” says Nelson.  Structure for discovery: This involves configuring every job in the organization so that the individual doing the job learns the right lessons and can get feedback to adjust behaviors to do work in the right way.  Connect the human chain: “Let's leverage the collective intelligence of the organization by making sure that problems quickly get to the person who is in the best position to solve them,” instructs Nelson. “So it's essentially a charge to wire together the information flow so that knowledge about a particular issue gets to the right place and gets there quickly.”  Regulate for flow: This is a version of Toyota pull that involves making sure there is the right amount of work in the system to prevent “traffic jams” of work.  Visualize the work: This principle helps to apply visualization usually found in physical work to knowledge work, which frequently lacks such signals. “If we can create a kind of digital twin or radar screen ...  so that we can see whether knowledge work is moving or not, it often unlocks a lot of that natural problem solving that you would get in other contexts if the work were a little bit more available to us,” explains Nelson.  Nelson described how the Broad Institute, a research organization dedicated to understanding the roots of disease and closing the gap between new biological insights and impact for patients, successfully applied dynamic work design in a knowledge-work environment to improve research grant workflows. The institute had one grant process that was particularly problematic, time-consuming, frustrated staff, and required workarounds.   Sheila Dodge, COO of Broad Clinical Labs, followed the dynamic work design principles in a direct manner and set clear targets: get grants approved in 10 days rather than the 20 or 30 days that it was taking. “They mapped the process pretty carefully so you could see all the steps that they went through. And then ... they created a really simple visual management system to plot how the work was flowing or track how the work was flowing,” says Nelson. Using a white board they depicted steps in the process, with a sticky note representing each grant moving through the process, which quickly revealed their poor design choices. They then reconfigured resources and the work started flowing dramatically.  The trio also discussed Nelson's work relating to:  The efficacy of face-to-face communications: When designing processes for getting work done, face-to-face communications should in place where most helpful, such as where there is ambiguity or uncertainty that needs to be processed. “We have discovered that often a daily meeting can replace, if it's well designed, hundreds of emails a day if you design the meeting [to] bring all the uncertainty into the meeting,” says Nelson.  Seagull management: This refers to the uncomplimentary behavior of managers who, when there is a crisis, “fly in like a flock of seagulls and then sort of poop on everything and then fly away.” Nelson says that “as leaders get more senior, they really underestimate the symbolic impact of their actions... The thing that people don't understand when they get to those corner offices is that everybody is looking at them to try to figure out what behaviors are appropriate in this organization. They are the chief role model, whether they like it or not. And so I think as a consequence, with the best of intentions, leaders often have really pathological impacts on their organization.”   AI will change work dynamics: “There's no question that AI is going to change our lives in very material ways,” says Nelson. “But I actually think it is going to put an even greater premium on the kinds of things that we collectively do... It's best captured by one of my former students [who] said, ‘You know, there's few ways to lose money faster than automating a process you don't understand.' I think that's going to be very true in the machine learning AI-enabled world, and I think it's going to put a real premium on understanding how the work actually gets done. And then using these new tools in very strategic ways.”

In this episode, leadership strategist and executive coach Andrea Wanerstrand shares insights from her experience inside global companies like Microsoft, Meta, and T-Mobile. Andrea discusses the cultural and leadership transformation at Microsoft, highlighting the shift from a know-it-all to a learn-it-all mindset and the importance of psychological safety, growth mindset, and resilience. The conversation also covers her A3 philosophy—authentic, autonomous, and accountable leadership—and practical ways leaders can build trust, give effective feedback, and foster autonomy in their teams. Andrea emphasizes the value of consistent authenticity, clear communication, and caring leadership that balances kindness with accountability. The episode also touches on Andrea's experience running a lavender farm as a way to find balance and stay grounded outside the corporate world.

Here are three notable statements by Avi Loeb regarding the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS (also known as C/2023 A3). 1. It could be technological or engineeredLoeb proposes that 3I/ATLAS might not be a simple natural object, but one with artificial or engineered features. Example quotes:He writes that “this object could be technological, and possibly hostile as would be expected from the ‘Dark Forest' resolution to the Fermi Paradox.” He suggests that if it “generates its own light, then it could be much smaller than expected …” Loeb also suggests the trajectory may be “fine-tuned” or “optimized” for a visit through our Solar System rather than a random interstellar path. His position is one of possibility, not firm conclusion; he often emphasizes that the scenario is unlikely but worth considering because of its implications.2. It shows several “anomalies” compared to known comets or interstellar objectsLoeb has pointed out multiple features that he claims cannot be easily explained under typical comet/asteroid models. Some specific anomalies he highlights:Its trajectory is close to the ecliptic plane (i.e., aligns within ~5° of the planetary orbital plane) — this, he argues, makes a random entry statistically unlikely. It produced a “sunward jet” or anti-tail (i.e., an emission or structure pointing toward the Sun) which he says is atypical for known comets. It exhibits an “extreme negative polarization” signature (a polarization measurement of –2.77 % at a particular phase angle) which he says is significantly different from all known comets. He also notes compositional oddities: in his blog he mentions, for example, a large nickel:iron ratio and small water fraction in the outgassed material. In short: Loeb treats 3I/ATLAS as anomalous, and argues that such anomalies elevate interest in the artificial-origin hypothesis.3. While it may be artificial, we mustn't ignore the natural hypothesisEven though Loeb emphasizes the possibility of an artificial origin, he is careful to maintain that the most probable outcome still remains that 3I/ATLAS is a natural object. For example:In a blog post, he wrote: “As of now, 3I/ATLAS appears most likely to be a natural comet. But the remote possibility … must be considered seriously as a black-swan event with a small probability, because of its huge implications for humanity.” Similarly, in press coverage he is quoted: “By far, the most likely outcome will be that 3I/ATLAS is a completely natural interstellar object, probably a comet.” He therefore positions his artificial-origin hypothesis as speculative, but worth preparing for — especially given the stakes if such a hypothesis turned out to be true.30 Day Free Trial Of 4biddenknowledge.TV 30 Day Free Trial On 4biddenknowledge.TVSupport the show

In this powerful episode, Kevin journeys deep into the mirror of consciousness - into the place where every relationship becomes a reflection of your own energy. What if every person who enters your life is sent by the universe to show you something about yourself? What if every heartbreak, every disappointment, every pattern you repeat isn't punishment, but a sacred opportunity to awaken?This is the essence of The Sacred Mirror. It's not about them - it's never about them. The mirror principle teaches that what you think about others reveals nothing about them and everything about you. And when we don't learn the lesson the first time, the universe, in its infinite love, keeps sending new reflections - person A1, A2, A3 - each one giving us another chance to see ourselves more clearly.But when we still don't wake up, the sacred mirror comes in. This is where the universe flips the reflection. Instead of showing you your behavior in another, it gives you someone who treats you exactly the way you've been treating others. It's the ultimate correction - a divine feedback loop that reveals your own unconscious patterns in real time. It's not a punishment, brother. It's mercy. It's love in motion, guiding you home to awareness.Through the lens of relationships, betrayal, desire, and projection, this teaching uncovers how the universe continually coaches you toward higher consciousness. You'll recognize that every “other” is a teacher - every woman, every friend, every conflict - each one designed to wake you up to the truth that there is no “other.” The only correction needed is within your own thought line.When you finally see the pattern and say, “Thank you, universe - I see it now,” that's awakening. That's enlightenment. That's the end of the loop. You graduate from personality A to personality B, from old energy to new consciousness. And as you correct yourself internally, you shift the external world. The people around you change because you change. The reflection always follows the observer.This episode invites you to explore these quantum and spiritual principles not as abstract ideas but as living, verifiable laws of your own experience. The sacred mirror is where your relationships become your greatest teacher - a living curriculum of consciousness designed by the universe itself.When you stop trying to change others and begin to change your perspective, the energy transforms. Relationships evolve. You move from reaction to awareness, from separation to unity. You come home to the truth: that you are the center of your own creation, the source of love you've been seeking all along.This is the journey of awakening through relationship - the dance between reflection and correction, between personality and presence.So listen in. The universe is speaking. And it's speaking through every face you meet.

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results Now" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the tactical topic of "getting more done in less time." They frame this as a follow-up to their previous episode on finding peace, noting that productivity creates the "margin" in life needed for peace. The hosts identify that people often waste time by filling whatever deadline they are given (e.g., taking a full week for a task that only requires one day). To combat this, they outline three main steps: 1.   Shrink Your Deadlines: Intentionally give yourself less time to complete a task. This forces you to be more focused and intense. They compare this to exercise, noting that a short, 15-minute workout or a 10-minute walk is better than doing nothing because you feel you don't have a full hour. 2.   Use the Timer Trick: Set a physical timer to create focused work "sprints." The hosts give examples, such as a sales job that had a mandatory, highly productive 1-hour "prospecting hour" or using the four minutes a microwave is running to complete other small chores. This creates intensity and focus. 3.   Limit Your To-Do List: The hosts warn that long to-do lists (e.g., 100 items) are overwhelming and lead to procrastination or "busy work"—doing easy, low-priority tasks first. They advocate for identifying your "top three" most important priorities (A1, A2, A3) for the day and focusing on those to ensure you are moving the needle on what matters, rather than just staying busy. The episode concludes by stating that the goal of these strategies is to help listeners get more done so they have more time for peace and other good things.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: I've been making music boxes and trying to replicate the traditional style (see attached photos). I'm struggling to get the curved edge just right. I've tried using a planer, but I keep messing up and have ended up wasting a lot of boards. Router round-overs almost work, but still need planed or sanded after routing to get the shape just right, and also they're pretty dangerous given the small and awkward size of the pieces—I'm working with ¾-inch thick wood that's 2.5 inches high for the box sides. I'd like a repeatable process that provides consistent shapes, but can't seem to find a way to achieve it.  Advice? Trish I've heard a few of your podcasts where you speak about making boxes and using a router to make the miter. I'm assuming you're using a bit with a 45° angle. What I don't understand is, how do you get the sides to be the exact same length while using your router table. It would seem to me that having the top of the angle (the point of the angle) against the fence would be almost impossible to get perfectly sized sides.  Can you please describe what I am missing here, since a perfect 45° angle using a route a bit seems incredibly simple. Mike G. Guys Questions: I have always tried to select straight grain for legs, aprons, stretchers and the frame of a frame and panel.  I am now thinking this may be too much straight grain in a piece of furniture. When are the times that you would not do this and would instead use a more interesting grain pattern in these pieces.  Does the wood species affect your choice? For example, it seems like the current trend with walnut is not worrying about getting any straight grain in the pieces at all.  Thanks for all your help. Jeff Hi from Melbourne Australia. I've been listening for years, and I like how y'all do things! Thanks for making the best woodworking pod. Like everyone, I have a small shop, that I fit a lot into. Without listing every item… I've got stationary machines covered with a euro style slider (Hammer K3), a 14” bandsaw (N4400) and a combo planer/thicknesser (A3-31). Those 3 cover my needs really well, and I've learned to work within the capacity of my tools and space. It's the secondary/benchtop machines that are causing trouble. Mitre saw was first to go. Don't miss it, don't need it. I'm looking at sanders next. The disc sander stays, couldn't live without it. But the 1632 drum sander and the oscillating bobbin sander are both rarely used and take up space I want back. Could you life without them? If not, what's the essential job they do for you? I'm usually making furniture sized objects. With the finish I get off the helical thicknesser, I find that hand planes/scrapers, ROS, and hand sanding is usually all I need. For bigger flat things, I'm gonna pay a pro shop to put it thru a wide belt sander anyway. Johnny Huys Questions: I was trained on a belt sander, and as Guy has mentioned, there is a learning curve. I'm now very proficient with one and it is a central part of my stock prep: from the planer, I belt sand a rough-sized board with 80 grit, wet it down and let it dry to raise any remaining compression marks from the planer, and then belt sand with 120. I then cut the board to final dimension, random orbital sand with 120, cut the joinery, and then random orbital sand the fitted piece to 180 before final assembly. The process leaves flawless surfaces every time. For panel glue-ups and tabletops, I glue up from the planer using cauls and then make sure the 80 grit belt sanding that follows evens out any discrepancies in height along the joints (hopefully they are minimal). I have zero experience with a drum sander, but I would consider getting one if it could replace some of the above belt sanding, as the belt sander is no light weight hand tool, and it's a killer on my back when I have to sand a full width dining table. I would likely get the PM2244, as I have heard it is the easiest to adjust. You all have mentioned that a drum sander does NOT offer a finish ready surface, as it leaves sanding ridges along the workpiece. This is not a problem in my workflow if it replaces the belt sander. My questions: Are these ridges similar to what I get with the belt sander for a given grit, or are they deeper, requiring by comparison to the belt sander extra time on the following grit? Since I am not seeking to dimension or flatten, but merely prep the surface for the next grit, would one pass in the drum sander for each grit be enough, or am I looking at multiple passes per grit? With a belt sander, there is a lot of back and forth, but with a drum sander I'm wondering if a single pass through will give the same result. How easy and fast is it to change the grit on a drum sander if I want to run 80 grit and then 120 in each sanding session? A dual drum unit is not in the budget. Finally, how reasonable is it to get good results sanding a tabletop that exceeds the width of the sander (i.e., the 22 in the Powermatic) but is within the bounds of the larger number (here, the 44)? With some practice, can I get reliable results, or does this just create more work after sanding, where I'll likely be pulling out the belt sander to even out a center ridge anyway? Keep in mind this could include tabletops from small night stands to full 8' dining tables. As a professional shop, the whole endeavor would be to save me some time and labor. Is it worth getting a drum sander for my workflow, or should I just stick to the belt sander? Michael After listening to your podcast this week I listened with interest the question that was posted by Jose about track saw blade deflection and you guys had a great response.  Unfortunately I was hoping that you would address the issue that I'm having with my Makita SP 6000 unit.  I bought this unit a couple of years ago and despite great reviews have been a little disappointed.  The saw seems to be underpowered.  It struggles getting through material whether its 3/4" plywood or thicker hardwood.  I started with the stock Makita blade 165x20 48 tooth then with with a CMT 165x20 24 tooth and am currently using a Ridge Carbide TRK16048A 48 tooth blade.  I have a Festool extractor and using Makita tracks.  The problem is the saw bogs down (I have to creep with the feed rate  and still have the issue although not as bad) and burning.  Also sometimes the right side of the track edges up where two tracks join causing the saw to catch.  I have the good TSO GRC12 track connectors.  The Makita ones are junk.  I What's up with this?  Do I need to move this thing out the door, bite the bullet and buy a Festool? Love the podcast. Tom

On a cold December evening in Surrey, England, two separate callers reported the same terrifying sight: headlights swerving off the busy A3 road and disappearing into the trees. Convinced they'd just witnessed a crash, police raced to the scene — but the road was empty, the barriers intact, and no fresh tire marks scarred the embankment. Still, the officers pressed on. Venturing deep into the undergrowth, they uncovered a nightmare: a badly wrecked car, hidden from view and overgrown by brush. The vehicle's battery was long dead, its headlights impossible to ignite. And nearby, they made a darker discovery — the decomposed skeletal remains of a man. The car belonged to a Londoner reported missing nearly a year earlier, in July of 2002. Dental records confirmed the bones were his. Pathologists estimated he'd been dead for months, killed in what looked like a crash no one had ever seen… until that December night. But how could members of the public report headlights veering off the road that very evening, when the man and his vehicle had been lost for almost a year? Did they witness a ghostly replay — a spectral “residual haunting” of the fatal crash, replaying itself to demand discovery? Or was it a strange twist of fate, coincidence aligning the living with the dead? #TrueGhostStory #Paranormal #HauntedUK #GhostlyReplay #PhantomCrash #PoliceMystery #CreepyStories #UnsolvedMystery #GhostStoriesOnline #RealHaunting Love real ghost stories?

In this essential episode, Bryan sits down with Jeff and Tom from Copeland to dive deep into the world of scroll compressors and the critical topic of refrigerant compatibility. As the HVAC industry navigates new refrigerant standards and regulations, understanding how compressors are specifically designed and optimized for different refrigerants has never been more important. The conversation begins with a comprehensive overview of refrigerant classifications, focusing on the A1, A2L, and A3 categories that technicians are encountering in the field. Jeff and Tom dispel common misconceptions, particularly around A2L refrigerants and their relationship to propane (R-290), clarifying that A2L refrigerants like R-454B and R-32 do not contain propane despite widespread confusion in the industry. They explain how regulatory pressures around Global Warming Potential (GWP) limits are driving the transition to these new refrigerants, with targets under 700 GWP for air conditioning applications. The technical discussion covers the fundamental operating principles of scroll compressors and why they've become the dominant technology in HVAC applications. With over 200 million scroll compressors sold by Copeland, the technology has proven its reliability and efficiency. However, the guests emphasize a crucial point that many in the industry overlook: each compressor is specifically optimized for particular refrigerants. This isn't just about basic compatibility – it's about precision engineering to meet efficiency requirements and ensure long-term reliability. The scroll geometry, oil viscosity, and internal components are all carefully matched to each refrigerant's unique properties. Safety takes center stage throughout the discussion, with both guests stressing that while A2L refrigerants are "mildly flammable," they require heightened safety practices that were previously considered best practices but are now mandatory. This includes nitrogen purging during brazing, proper evacuation procedures, comprehensive leak testing, and thorough documentation. The conversation also touches on the practical challenges contractors have faced, including refrigerant availability issues, while maintaining the importance of following proper procedures regardless of supply chain difficulties. Topics Covered: Refrigerant Classifications: A1 (non-flammable), A2L (slightly flammable), and A3 (flammable) categories and their safety implications Compressor Optimization: How scroll compressors are specifically engineered for each refrigerant, including R-454B and R-32 applications New Compressor Naming Conventions: Introduction of "Y" series compressors for A2L and A3 refrigerants, replacing the traditional "Z" series Oil Viscosity Requirements: Different POE oil specifications (32 vs 46 viscosity) for various refrigerants and temperature conditions Safety Protocols: Enhanced safety requirements for A2L refrigerants, including mandatory nitrogen purging and leak testing procedures Glide Characteristics: Understanding temperature glide in R-454B (2.4 degrees) versus single-component R-32 Refrigeration Applications: Multi-refrigerant capability in commercial refrigeration compressors and natural refrigerant trends Service Compressor Strategy: LX series compressors designed to cover multiple R-410A applications for aftermarket needs Regulatory Timeline: Upcoming January 1, 2026 GWP limits for supermarket refrigeration systems Tools and Resources: Copeland Mobile app for compressor selection, cross-referencing, and technical specifications Training Importance: Critical need for enhanced technician education and OEM-specific training programs   Visit the EPA's website to stay up to date on the latest HFC phasedown rulings and information at https://www.epa.gov/climate-hfcs-reduction.  Keep up with Copeland at https://www.copeland.com/ and on their Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Air Date 8/27/2025 RFK Jr. and the Make America Healthy Again movement aren't completely wrong about everything, they often identify the larger structural problems with the US health industrial complex even if their proposed solutions are wildly off the mark. But the problem they failed to see coming when partnering with Trump and the Republicans is that they're only going to be allowed to misguidedly defund and dismantle parts of the government that support health which is in line with the broader burn-it-all-down vibes of the MAGA movement, but under no circumstances will they be allowed to implement new regulations that might actually do the public some good at the expense of corporate interests because that would go against the pro-corporate/deregulation obsession of the Republican Party. So, MAHA might be a mixed bag but what the country is getting is a lose/lose. Be part of the show!
