If you have switched to oat milk because you think it is healthier than dairy, this episode has some important information for you. And if you saw Miranda Kerr's diet advice doing the rounds in the media this week, Leanne and Susie have thoughts. This week the team does a full ranking of every milk on the market, from full cream dairy to oat, soy, almond, coconut, and the new high-protein dairy milks, covering protein, calcium, fortification, what to check on the label, and who each one is actually best suited to. Then they respond to Miranda Kerr's widely covered restrictive diet recommendations with the specific nutritional corrections the media cycle did not bother to include. In this episode: Every milk ranked by protein, calcium, and overall nutritional quality: dairy milk, soy, oat, almond, coconut, high-protein dairy blends, and why the answer to which is healthiest is not what most people assume Why oat milk is higher in carbohydrate, lower in protein, and often sweetened without people realising, and why the barista varieties from cafes are frequently not calcium-fortified at all Why soy milk is Leanne's personal choice and her preferred dairy alternative for clients, including the phytoestrogen angle for women in perimenopause and menopause The one thing to always check when buying any plant milk, why 300 milligrams of calcium per cup is the number to look for, and what most people are missing when they pick up almond milk thinking it is a nutritious swap Miranda Kerr's diet recommendations fact-checked: no eggs, no kale, no sushi, no salmon, no sourdough, venison for breakfast, and caviar as a protein source. What is actually wrong with this, why it is a concern when mainstream media amplifies it, and why the foods she is avoiding are among the most nutritionally valuable you can eat Why you can absolutely cook with extra virgin olive oil and always could, and the claim about salmon and mercury that is not supported by the evidence The new Philadelphia Protein Cream Cheese exposed: why the regular light Philadelphia and the protein version are nutritionally near-identical per 100 grams, and why the only meaningful difference is that the serving size has been increased How to find leaner and cheaper cuts of meat as beef prices continue to rise, why pork is underrated as a high-protein budget option, why slow cooker cuts are one of the best investments in your weekly food budget, and what to do if the supermarket sells you a fatty cut you cannot use See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We continue #HAHAugest 3: Rule of Threes with former New World Pictures vice president and head of business and legal affairs, Paul Almond!  Paul began his long career working for Roger Corman's lawyer Barbara Boyle and then the studio itself where he helped negotiate the deal for Corman's infamous Lumberyard Studio in Venice, California, where New World films like BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS and GALAXY OF TERROR were filmed! Paul's long history with the company leads us to talk about a wide variety of films, including CRIMES AND WHISPERS, THE PRIZE FIGHTER, HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP, and PIRANHA! When Corman sold New World to new ownership, Paul stayed on at New World where he was able to enjoy the success of ANGEL, meet Grace Jones during VAMP, and be the executive in charge in Paris while Robert Altman directed BEYOND THERAPY! You won't want to miss this wide-ranging conversation about New World history, the people, and the films! We also discuss Paul's move away from New World, where he was head of acquisitions for ITC Entertainment before moving on to run production for Live Entertainment, where Paul relays his highs and lows of working for that company.

316: Small Practices to Live and Lead BetterNote: Most of these notes are ai generated from a transcript of the show.Sponsor Spot 1:So, when it comes to student travel, I get why it can feel like a big lift.

Visit mykatrip.com today and get your free quote today. Kaleidoscope Adventures – Travel Beyond Expectations.Opening and ContextFrederick opens by noting that asking for help is itself a leadership lesson, and introduces Mara as a long-time collaborator returning to the show . Both acknowledge having a difficult morning, and frame their conversation as an example of drawing energy from human connection .CelebrationsFrederick celebrates a speed dating activity he ran with Darren Pepperd at the Innovative Schools Summit in Nashville, where over 200 school leaders participated in four rounds of 60 to 90 second paired conversations. He highlights the visible energy and human connection generated by the exercise .Mara celebrates completing her last shift at the YMCA, where she had worked since moving to the Greensboro area to build community. She reflects on having met her personal goal of forming local connections .Habit 1 - Gratitude List (Mara)Mara recommends starting each day by writing three to five things you are grateful for, describing it as a simple, research-backed practice that sets a positive tone. She credits a keynote by Kim Strobel at the NCMLE conference as the inspiration and notes she has maintained the habit since . Frederick adds that the practice helps him appreciate small, everyday moments rather than waiting for large events.Habit 2 - Intentional Daily Check-In (Frederick)Frederick recommends that leaders begin each day by consciously deciding how they will show up, taking into account their energy level and schedule . He suggests tools such as daily affirmations, core values reflection, or prayer. He also emphasizes the value of transparency with colleagues when not at one's best, framing it as an opportunity for vulnerability and deeper connection rather than an excuse . Mara reinforces that vulnerability builds human connection and reminds listeners that leaders are human beings first .Habit 3 - Commitment to Personal Growth (Mara)Mara recommends dedicating a specific, recurring block of time to personal learning, whether 15 minutes a day, one book a month, or one podcast episode a week. She notes this growth does not have to be profession-related . She references Frederick's book as an example of a resource structured for busy leaders .Habit 4 - Priority Task Planning Using the Eisenhower Matrix (Frederick)Frederick recommends starting each workday by identifying priority tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix, organized into four quadrants by urgency and importance . He emphasizes that Quadrant Two tasks, specifically teacher growth and development, should be at the top of the daily list. He advises leaders to identify one to three teachers to check in with each day and to delegate or release Quadrant Three tasks that belong to others .Habit 5 - Leadership Goal Focus (Mara)Mara recommends that leaders identify one specific leadership behavior to improve at a time, such as giving specific praise and validation to team members . She suggests using a sticky note on the office door as a daily reminder and proposes asking one fun, relationship-building question to teachers and students each week to strengthen culture . Frederick extends this to a team-level practice, where the leadership team collectively commits to one shared behavior and checks in on it regularly to build accountability .Habit 6 - Five Minute Coaching Daily (Frederick)Frederick strongly advocates for conducting at least one five minute coaching session per day with a teacher. The practice involves three reflective questions: What went well? Were there any surprises? Is there anything you would do differently? No feedback is given; the leader listens and moves on . Mara notes the practice can also be done independently as a self-reflection tool .Habit 7 - Scheduled Personal Time (Mara)Mara recommends blocking personal time on the calendar and treating it as a non-negotiable commitment, regardless of how brief . She acknowledges the difficulty for parents and busy leaders and stresses the importance of communicating this need to support systems. Frederick connects this to the Artist's Way practice of the artist's date and notes that hiking serves as his primary form of personal recharge time .Habit 8 - End of Day Wrap-Up (Frederick)Frederick recommends closing each workday with a brief reflective practice, ideally a five minute coaching session with oneself or a colleague, using the same three questions. The goal is to put a clear end to the workday before leaving .Habit 9 - Weekly Wrap-Up on Thursdays (Mara)Mara recommends conducting a weekly wrap-up before leaving the office on Thursdays rather than Fridays, as Fridays tend to be unpredictable in school settings . The wrap-up uses the five minute coaching format and is more powerful when done with a colleague. She also introduces a personal goal tracking chart she has developed, with daily checkboxes and a weekly score for each goal, along with a reflection section to identify patterns without self-judgment . She notes that tracking revealed a bedtime issue as the root cause of missing multiple goals, leading to a targeted micro-adjustment .Habit 10 - Turn Off Email Notifications (Frederick)Frederick recommends turning off email notifications entirely, arguing that email is not designed for synchronous communication and that constant alerts pull leaders out of the present moment . He advises training key contacts to use text for urgent matters, leveraging an administrative assistant as a communication filter, and setting up an auto-responder to manage expectations . He credits Darren Pepperd with the auto-responder suggestion .Sponsor Spot 2:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction.

Not all "healthy" foods are what they claim to be. In this episode, Dr. Barrett breaks down the top five foods marketed as health-conscious choices that are quietly wrecking your metabolism and gut: protein bars and whey shakes, nut milks, juices, gluten-free products, and "healthy" sparkling sodas. He explains what's actually in them (sugar alcohols, glyphosate, oxalates, artificial sweeteners), why the labels are misleading, and what real alternatives to reach for instead.. . . Watch the episode on YouTube here!

In this episode, we unpack the famous "bitter almond" scent associated with cyanide poisoning to separate Hollywood tropes from real-world environmental hazard detection. We break down the actual chemistry behind toxic exposures and reveal why relying solely on olfactory cues can create a dangerous false sense of security. Learn how to train your situational awareness to identify subtle chemical indicators and physical threat vectors before it's too late.

This episode breakdown explores why crime scene investigators treat the scent of bitter almonds like a smoking gun. It uncovers the real chemistry behind cyanide poisoning and highlights how popular TV shows—including NCIS and CSI—frequently use this classic mystery trope.

In this Almond Byte, the Almond Board of California's Global Technical and Regulatory Affairs team provides updates on key international trade and regulatory issues affecting California almonds. The episode covers ABC's participation at SNACKEX in Lisbon, recent tariff and trade developments, the new U.S.-EU trade deal that could support almond competitiveness in Europe, and evolving maximum residue limit policies in Vietnam and Thailand. Together, these updates show how ABC works to protect market access, strengthen global relationships and keep almond growers informed about issues that can affect demand and movement of California almonds around the world.

California's almond industry is entering the 2026 harvest with optimism as strong global demand, stable prices, and a slightly smaller crop position growers for another successful marketing year. On today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, Valley Pride Ag's Sunny Toor shared his outlook while traveling overseas to meet with buyers in key export markets. Speaking from Dubai before continuing to India, Toor said the 2025 crop has largely moved through the supply chain, with shipments expected to reach approximately 2.6 billion pounds out of a crop of roughly 2.7 billion pounds. He credited growers, processors, exporters, and international customers for keeping demand strong throughout the season. Looking ahead, Toor expects this year's crop to come in slightly below last season's production. "My number is between 2.6 and 2.65 billion pounds," Toor said, noting that several years of challenging grower returns have taken a toll on production. He added that stronger almond prices during the past year have finally allowed many growers to improve their financial position after several difficult seasons. Harvest is also expected to begin earlier than normal. Toor said orchards are running roughly one-and-a-half to two weeks ahead of schedule, with harvest expected to begin in portions of the Central Valley within days. While spring heat may slightly reduce kernel weights, overall crop quality appears strong, with no major issues reported heading into harvest. International markets continue to drive the California almond industry. Toor estimated that 70 to 74 percent of the state's almond crop will be exported this season, with major demand coming from India, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. India remains one of Valley Pride Ag's most important markets. Toor said his current overseas trip is focused on securing in-shell almond sales ahead of the country's Diwali celebration, one of the busiest periods for almond consumption. He also noted that negotiations between the United States and India could eventually reduce tariffs on almonds, creating additional export opportunities. Beyond India, Toor sees continued growth potential throughout North Africa, including Morocco and Algeria, while established markets across Europe and the Middle East remain strong. California continues to supply the majority of the world's almond demand because of its consistent quality and reliable production. Toor emphasized that maintaining quality begins in the orchard, encouraging growers to stay vigilant for late-season pest pressure and continue working closely with their pest control advisers through harvest. "Quality isn't made by processors or marketers," he said. "It's made by the growers." Despite ongoing challenges facing California agriculture, Toor said stable prices and steady global demand have created a much healthier outlook than growers experienced just a year ago.

"His argument against almond milk is that you can't call almond milk milk because you can't physically milk an almond." – Kevin Sherwin Kevin Sherwin is a composer, musician, and filmmaker who decided that the best way to expose Big Dairy's war on the word milk was through a courtroom puppet musical. The film is called How Do You Milk an Almond? It has stick puppets, original songs, a very villainous dairy lawyer and an FDA official who argues on the record that an almond can't lactate. It's absurd and weird and funny, and then it slips in about 90 seconds of real undercover dairy footage, and that's when the whole thing shifts, which is the point. The film has screened at film festivals and law schools across the country, and is now available online, and Kevin has made the live musical version free for anyone who wants to put it on. https://howdoyoumilkanalmond.com/

Carson Pettit joined the Journey to share what led him back to California and into the almond industry, some of the current market dynamics in the global almond trade, how RPAC is staying on the cutting edge of grower engagement, his experiences with the California Ag Leadership program, and his hopes for the future. Pettit is the grower relations manager at RPAC growers and processors. This episode was recorded at The Almond Conference 2025 back in December, so his comments are all relative to what was happening at that point in time.“We really need clarity for everybody to feel better about being active in the market. And when there's not that clarity, it's just very hard for anybody to have any sense of a good idea of what's going to happen in the world.” - Carson PettitIn Today's episode: Meet Carson Pettit, the grower relations manager at RPAC growers and processorsDiscover Pettit's journey into the almond industry and what his role is as a grower relations managerUnderstand current market dynamics in the global almond trade and how that may impact producersExplore how RPAC is pursuing and expanding grower engagementLearn about his experiences with the California Ag Leadership Program and the impact that has made on his careerThe Almond Journey Podcast is brought to you by the Almond Board of California.

When God calls Jeremiah to be a prophet, the first question is surprisingly simple: "What do you see?" Jeremiah sees an almond branch, the earliest tree to bloom at the edge of winter. God responds, "You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it." In this sermon from Eshel: Preaching the Trees, we explore the almond tree as a sign of God's attentiveness. Long before the landscape appears changed, the almond blossoms announce that something new is already beginning. This message reflects on spiritual attentiveness, calling, and the faith to recognize God's work before it becomes obvious. The God of Scripture is never absent or asleep. Even in seasons that seem quiet, God is watching, speaking, and bringing new life. Part of the Eshel: Preaching the Trees series. Sermon by Rev. Amos J. Disasa.

Steve Malanca Joins the AgNet News Hour to Discuss Almond Markets, Water Policy, and California Agriculture California agriculture faces no shortage of challenges and opportunities heading into the second half of 2026. On this episode of the AgNet News Hour, hosts Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter,” and Josh McGill sit down with longtime almond industry leader Steve Malanca of West Valley Hulling in Firebaugh to discuss everything from almond crop forecasts and pricing trends to California's ongoing water storage debate. The conversation begins with a discussion about Canada's newly announced food security initiative. Canadian officials are investing heavily in greenhouse production and automation in an effort to reduce reliance on imported fruits and vegetables. While the move has raised concerns among some California producers, Malanca and the hosts question whether greenhouse technology can realistically replace California's world-leading production of almonds and other specialty crops. California currently exports billions of dollars' worth of agricultural products to Canada, including almonds, pistachios, walnuts, wine, dairy products, lettuce, tomatoes, and many other commodities. While food security remains an important goal for every nation, the hosts note that California's climate, infrastructure, and agricultural expertise remain difficult to replicate. One of the biggest topics during the interview is the outlook for California almonds. After a growing season that featured a hot March, rain during April and May, and significant wind events in parts of Northern California, Malanca believes the industry may see a crop slightly smaller than last year's harvest. While last season produced approximately 2.7 billion pounds, Malanca estimates this year's crop could land somewhere between 2.5 and 2.75 billion pounds. “There's no indication this is a 3-billion-pound crop,” Malanca explained. Despite concerns about crop size, quality appears excellent throughout many production regions. Early heat accelerated nut development, resulting in larger-than-normal almonds. Field reports have varied, with some growers reporting lighter sets while others have experienced branches breaking under heavy crop loads. The hosts also debated their annual almond crop wager, with Nick continuing to predict the crop will finish under last year's production total while Josh remains confident that growers will surprise the market once again. Perhaps the most encouraging news for growers is the improvement in almond prices. Malanca noted that some processors have recently quoted nonpareil in-shell almonds above $3.00 per pound, a level not seen since 2018. Just 18 months ago, growers were seeing prices closer to $1.40 per pound. At the same time, inventory levels have become much more manageable thanks to strong domestic and export demand. Monthly shipments have consistently exceeded 200 million pounds, helping reduce carryover stocks to healthier levels. Australia's weather challenges may also create additional opportunities for California exporters, particularly in markets such as China. For many growers facing rising costs for labor, fertilizer, fuel, equipment, and water, stronger prices are welcome news. While almonds remain a central focus, water quickly became the dominant topic of discussion. Malanca expressed frustration over continuing water allocation challenges on the West Side of the San Joaquin Valley, where some growers are receiving only 25% allocations despite reservoirs remaining relatively full following multiple wet winters. He argued that California's water problem is not a lack of supply but rather a lack of storage. Using data he has tracked since 2015, Malanca pointed to periods when massive amounts of water flowed through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and into the Pacific Ocean. During portions of the wet winter of 2017, Delta outflows exceeded 300,000 cubic feet per second. According to Malanca, enough water flowed out during those periods to fill Shaver Lake dozens of times if sufficient storage infrastructure had been available. His solution is straightforward: expand storage capacity by raising dams, constructing new reservoirs, and capturing more runoff during wet years. The hosts agreed that additional water storage would benefit agriculture, urban communities, and environmental interests by creating more reliable water supplies during drought years. Whether you're an almond grower, agricultural professional, policymaker, or simply someone interested in the future of California farming, this episode offers valuable insights from one of the industry's most respected voices.

Happy Father's Day! In a culture that loves to use Father's Day to fuss at men and tell them how messed up they are, Pastor Ernest Almond brings a completely different, life-giving perspective. In this powerful continuation of the Appetite for Destruction series, this message is a direct reminder to men, fathers, and everyone in the church: You are a blessing, you are precious, and you are God's unique handiwork.Pulling from the story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 19, Pastor Ernest exposes what happens when obedience increases our trials and leaves us completely exhausted, running on empty in the wilderness. When the journey ahead is simply too much for your physical strength, the answer isn't to grind harder or act like Superman. It's time to lean into supernatural self-care.Using the life and rhythms of Jesus, this message breaks down the 7 S's of spiritual health: Settle down and pray, Stop striving (Sabbath), Sleep through the storms, Squad up, Sit down for fellowship, Shed the armor, and Separate to pray. True kingdom citizenship requires breaking the habit of isolation, building a real relational cross of accountability, and letting the Lord take the steering wheel. Stop trying to carry your heavy burdens entirely solo.Watch now to unlock a "Higher Definition" perspective on rest, community, and walking in wholeness!

In this final installment of our series, "For What It's Worth," Pastor Ernest Almond delivers a powerful, conviction-heavy message on what it truly means to pledge your allegiance to the Kingdom of God. Diving deep into Luke 16:10-15 and Matthew 4:1-11, this sermon exposes "Mammon" not just as money, but as an entire spiritual system designed to trade your eternal assignment for temporary comfort, convenience, and consumption From the dense fast-food corridors of our local neighborhoods to the subtle compromises we make in our weekly schedules, we are constantly being pressured to bow to the god of comfort. But true righteousness requires a line in the sand. If an investigator looked at your calendar, your bank statements, and your screen time from this past week, who would they conclude you are serving? It's time to move past lukewarm commitment, break the addiction to a "soft life," and anchor your covenant obedience to the One who already paid your ultimate debt!

Back in 2013, American reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured a scene that would unexpectedly go viral nearly a decade later. The scene showed a phone conversation between former model Yolanda Hadid and her daughter Gigi. Hadid junior said she felt sick because she hadn't eaten all day, and her mother's advice in response was to “eat two almonds”. It might have seemed innocuous at the time, but that moment went viral in 2022, with a number of female Tiktokers complaining about how their mothers were damaging their relationship with food. The term “almond moms" was born, in a nod to the Hadid reality TV scene, and at the time of recording it has close to 480 million views. What are the main charachteristics of almond moms ? What makes almond moms act that way ? What are the consequences of such a restrictive upbringing ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Fruit removal is a serious issue in table olive production, namely because the fruit are harvested before they are ripe. ACC, an ethylene precursor, has the potential to improve fruit removal (please note that the commercial product is not registered in olives yet and cannot legally be used). Becky Wheeler-Dykes, an advisor in Glenn, Colusa, and Tehama Counties, has been examining its efficacy in olives with a team of researchers at UC Davis. She shares some preliminary, and promising results in this week's episode.Episode transcriptMention of a pesticide does not constitute a pesticide recommendation, and mention of specific trade names does not constitute an endorsement.
