From College Engagement to Radio Stardom: Ronald Reagan's Ascent to the Hollywood B-List. Max Boot discusses how Ronald Reagan's father, Jack, secured a job as an administrator of welfare for the New Deal in late 1933. Meanwhile, Ronald developed into a successful young football star at Eureka College, where his steady girlfriend was Margaret Cleaver, known as Mugs. They were deeply in love and engaged to be married, but after graduation they separated, and Margaret, following a trip to Europe, fell in love with an American diplomat and returned the engagement ring to a crushed Reagan. Margaret's father, the Reverend Cleaver, was highly influential, acting almost as a surrogate father to Dutch Reagan. Dutch Reagan possessed a magnificent, compelling voice for storytelling and, graduating from college in 1932, recognized that while movie studios were absent from the Midwest, radio stations were plentiful. He landed his first radio job in Davenport, Iowa, and quickly succeeded, transferring to a larger station in Des Moines, where he became a very successful sportscaster known throughout the Midwest as Dutch Reagan, the voice of the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox. In Hollywood, Reagan was recognized as a heroic figure with a consistently sunny disposition and initially started in B-pictures at Warner Brothers. Reagan's movie career generated good income, and he demonstrated responsibility by moving his parents out to Hollywood. He met actress Jane Wyman at the Warner Brothers commissary, and they were married in January 1940.

Episode 247 launches us into an intense period. We're going to travel to the border between the Zulu kingdom and the Transvaal because there's trouble brewing. When you hear what shenanigans were planned by British Governor Sir Bartle Frere, you probably won't believe it. His partner in crime was Sir Theophilus Shepstone who in 1877, had just completed thirty years service as Secretary for Native Affairs in Natal. For the Zulu, the transformation of the Native Affairs Secretary into the Administrator of the newly annexed Transvaal was a serious development. As historian Jeff Guy points out, it destroyed the diplomatic link forged between Cetshwayo kaMpande and Shepstone at a particularly sensitive moment in history. Previously, Shepstone had been sympathetic to the Zulu in their border dispute with the Boers, but once the Natal official took office in the Transvaal, that sentiment shifted. The pressure of trying to reconcile the Boers to their newly annexed state was too much for Shepstone — he did not have the emotional courage nor the courage of his convictions to balance the needs and wants of both the Boers and the Zulu. “He turned his coat in the most shameless manner…” one Colonial Office official by the name of Fairfield is quoted as writing in a minute to Edward Stanley the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs after the War. Sir Bartle Frere the British High Commissioner in Cape Town, was determined to eradicate what he thought of as the Zulu threat. He was still busy sorting out the Ninth Frontier War against the Xhosa, and watching the Pedi battle the Boers in the north Eastern Transvaal. While that irritating side-show .. at least in Frere's mind .. continued, here was Cetshwayo openly defying his Native Affairs man in Natal. Cetshwayo approached Natal's lieutenant Governor Sir Henry Bulwer — after whom the town of Bulwer is named. By now it was clear the Zulu relationship with Shepstone was done. Bulwer had monitored what was going on and he was deeply disturbed by developments. It was ironic that the Zulu chief was turning to a British official as a mediator of sorts. Bulwer appointed a boundary commission to probe the dispute between the Boers and the Zulu.To Frere's surprise, the commission found that the Boers of the Transvaal had no right to be in Zululand. Bulwer's next dispatches concluded that Natal could maintain a peaceful policy towards the Zulu nation because it hadn't violated any agreements with Natal and the Transvaal. Frere was dumbstruck, and so dumbstruck, he was struck dumb. He kept the report a secret for five months.

Power Struggle Over NASA and the Moon Race Guests: Douglas Messier, David Livingston Douglas Messier discusses a power struggle over NASA, including acting administrator Shawn Duffy's interest in folding NASA into the Department of Transportation and his concern that the United States might lose the Moon Race 2.0 to China. Duffy has challenged SpaceX's contract for the Artemis 3 moon landing, aiming to accelerate lander development amid fears that dependence on the complex Starship/Superheavy architecture might delay the mission beyond 2029.

In an era when milliseconds define customer experience, having a reliable and flexible communication platform is no longer optional - it's essential. Communications Hub positions itself as a trusted partner for businesses that rely on real-time communication. We sat down with the CTO of Communications Hub, Bohdan Bulatsan, to talk about what makes the platform unique, how it ensures uninterrupted message delivery and why integration with new providers can be done up to 75% faster than the industry standard. Communications Hub Q: Communications Hub emphasizes real-time operations with automatic cascading. Could you explain how the cascading mechanism works and how it guarantees delivery even during routing issues or provider downtime? Our cascading mechanism is designed to ensure that no message ever gets lost. When the system detects any negative signal from the current provider - such as a blocked sender name, insufficient balance or a delivery issue - it automatically switches to the next available provider in the cascade. Administrators can configure multiple cascading levels in the platform. The more levels you set, the higher your delivery reliability becomes. Each level acts as a backup route, guaranteeing continuity even during provider downtime or unexpected routing failures. All message logs are recorded and displayed in a clear, user-friendly dashboard, allowing users to track delivery paths and troubleshoot in real time. Q: One of Communications Hub's strongest advantages is how quickly new providers can be integrated. How is that achieved from a technical perspective? We've developed a universal SDK that standardizes all core functions common to most provider APIs. This means our team doesn't have to start from scratch each time a new provider joins. We've also optimized the deployment process, allowing multiple adapters to be implemented simultaneously. Before any integration goes live, our pre-testing procedure identifies potential issues early, ensuring smoother performance from day one. Altogether, these improvements have reduced our onboarding time by up to 75% so what used to take 35-45 days can now be completed in about 10 days. Q: The platform collects advanced analytics directly from all providers. How does that process work and how does it give businesses full visibility over their communication flows? Our analytics service aggregates detailed depersonalised data from every message sent through the system. It collects metrics directly from connected providers and organizes them into meaningful insights for our users. Through the dashboard, clients can monitor every campaign, view delivery reports, analyze trends and see any real-time changes reflected instantly. This level of transparency empowers businesses to make informed decisions and fine-tune their communication strategies with confidence. Q: Communications Hub focuses on maintaining high delivery quality and preventing wasted messages. What technical mechanisms make that possible? We use a multi-layer verification system to make sure messages are sent only to real, active users. The first layer validates incoming numbers to confirm they follow the correct format and can potentially exist. The second layer prevents duplicate messages from being sent. The third, an optional HLR (Home Location Register) lookup, checks whether a number is currently active on the network. The first two levels run automatically by default, while HLR verification can be enabled when needed. This combination significantly reduces wasted traffic and improves delivery efficiency across all channels. Q: What would you say is Communications Hub's main mission today? Our mission is to simplify communication management. We help businesses integrate, manage, and optimize their communication channels in one place. Whether it's SMS or flash calls, we make it easy to connect with audiences reliably and intelligently. We want our clients to think less about technical barriers and ...

rWotD Episode 3096: Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995 Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 25 October 2025, is Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995.The Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995 (NT) was a law legalising euthanasia in the Northern Territory of Australia, which was passed by the territory's Legislative Assembly in 1995. The Act was passed by the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly on 25 May 1995 by a vote of 15 to 10, received the Administrator's assent on 16 June 1995, and entered into force on 1 July 1996. A year later, a repeal bill was brought before the Northern Territory Parliament in August 1996, but was defeated by 14 votes to 11.The effect of the law was nullified in 1997 by the federal Parliament of Australia which passed the Euthanasia Laws Act 1997. The Act continues on the Territory's statute books, however this was repealed in December 2022 with the passing of Restoring Territory Rights Act. Dr Philip Nitschke founded Exit International in response to the overturning of the Act.While voluntary euthanasia had previously been condoned officially in the Netherlands and the US state of Oregon, the act was the first time that a legislative assembly passed a law explicitly legalising euthanasia.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:31 UTC on Saturday, 25 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

Bob Zimmerman Criticizes NASA's Artemis Lunar Program as a "Management Disaster" Focused on Beating China Bob Zimmerman with John Batchelor Bob Zimmerman criticized NASA interim administrator Sean Duffy for focusing on SpaceX being "behind schedule," distracting from NASA's own delay of the Artemis mission to 2028 at the earliest. He called the Artemis plan an "unwieldy management disaster" designed haphazardly to give the SLS rocket a mission. The political push to beat China by 2028 creates a dangerous "one-time stunt." Zimmerman argues the private sector (SpaceX) is the real future of US space endeavors. 1941

In this episode, I call out what I believe to be unethical and deceitful practices by the the city of Valley Center, Kansas in their current search for a new city administrator. The have posted on LinkedIn that the salary range for their next administrator is $115,000 to $200,000. However, their original job postings that are still visible on various job boards listed a salary of range of $105,000 to $145,000. And just two weeks ago they passed a salary ordinance that set the salary range for the city administrator at a maximum of $171,000 and the current city administrator who has been there for six years is only making $152,000. It appears they are attempting to bait candidates to apply with the new exaggerated and unattainable salary range so that they can lowball the finalist.

Amy talks with American television presenter, physician, author, educator, and government official serving as the 17th administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Dr. Oz.

Dr. Mark McClellan has served as a Member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But his experiences before, and accomplishments following these leadership roles at the highest levels of government health policy are equally important to his perspective on the healthcare ecosystem – especially during a time of rapid policy change.Dr. McClellan always intended on pursuing a medical degree and entered a joint Harvard-MIT program that took him in a slightly different direction. He ended up studying economics and the rising cost of healthcare at MIT. He ultimately earned a medical degree from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, a Ph.D. in economics from MIT, and a master's in public administration from Harvard's Kennedy School.Dr. McClellan began his career at the Treasury Department in the Clinton Administration, and returned to public service under the George W. Bush Administration where he led the FDA and CMS. Today, Dr. McClellan is the Robert J. Margolis, M.D., Professor of Business, Medicine and Policy at Duke University and the founding Director of the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy. His work centers on improving health care through policy and research, with a focus on payment reforms, quality, value, and biomedical innovation.With his expertise in medicine, economics and public policy, Dr. McClellan talked to Keith Figlioli in this episode of Healthcare is Hard to share his perspective on adapting to rapid change in the current healthcare landscape. Topics they discussed include:Misalignment of innovation and outcomes. While advancements in digital health are coming to market faster than ever before, Dr. McClellan says there's still a lack of technology truly centered on keeping patients healthy. He says traditional payment methods make it hard to support this type of innovation. For example, advancements in AI are helping physicians gather information for prior authorization requests, and ambient scribing saves time with note taking and administration. But these technologies essentially help providers see more fee-for-service patients or bill for more profitable services. He argues that more outcome-oriented payments are needed to advance technology-embedded care models. The evolution of value-based care. After Congress passed the Medicare Modernization Act in 2003 to establish Medicare Advantage, Dr. McClellan became administrator of CMS at the President's request to lead its implementation. With unique insight from leading some of the earliest VBC programs, he shared his thoughts on the speed of adoption and why it hasn't happened faster. He discussed how early MA models needed to be based on existing fee-for-service infrastructure, his surprise that not much has changed, and his optimism that it's finally starting to.Mobilizing private capital for public health. Private investment will be essential to support the significant changes required to improve healthcare – especially with uncertainties around future levels of government funding. Dr. McClellan explained how the Duke-Margolis Capital Impact Council (CIC) was launched to guide and improve the role of private investment in healthcare. He described how members of the council are developing and sharing practices for investors and their portfolio companies to track health value return on investment alongside financial ROI.To hear Dr. McClellan and Keith discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.
