Send us Fan MailThis week on Just MS News, we take a closer look at three important stories from the multiple sclerosis community.First, new research in JAMA Neurology strengthens the evidence around GFAP, a blood biomarker that may help researchers track progression independent of relapse activity, or PIRA. The study included more than 2,300 people with MS and over 18,000 blood measurements.That story also connects with a small randomized study of high-dose N-acetyl cysteine, or NAC, in progressive MS. Participants received 1,250 mg three times daily for four weeks, and researchers observed a significant difference in GFAP levels compared with placebo. The study was very small and does not show that NAC slows MS progression, but a larger trial is already underway.Next, we review a systematic review of exercise in people with severe MS disability. What can exercise still improve when walking is limited or disability has progressed, and why are nonambulatory people still so underrepresented in exercise research?Finally, Christina Applegate is reportedly back home and doing very well following a months-long hospitalization. Applegate has been living publicly with MS since announcing her diagnosis in 2021.Just MS News looks beyond the headline to explain what the research actually found, what remains uncertain, and why it may matter to people living with MS.Sources include JAMA Neurology, Multiple Sclerosis Journal, Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, University of Basel, UCSF, Neurology Advisor, and PEOPLE.Learn more and follow the latest MS news at:www.justmultiplesclerosis.comThis content is for news and educational purposes and is not medical advice.The Just MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Show, w host Justin Loizos, is a podcast that connects, educates and tries to uplift others living with multiple sclerosis.

He breaks down why "direction is more important than speed" when fixing your finances, how compound interest really works over time, and why every worker needs an emergency fund and a clear exit strategy. Paul also shares how he's using his personal journey to serve first responders, veterans, and everyday blue-collar families across Harford and Cecil County.

Two retired luminaries in geriatrics join us today to share their personal experiences. First, John Burton, a geriatrician and Director of the Division of Geriatric Medicine at Johns Hopkins for some 35 years, shares his journey moving into a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) during Covid.  You can read about John's early experiences in his JAGS commentary titled, "Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop."  The tone is bleak.  John's experience since Covid, as you'll hear, is very positive.  Many of the concerns he raised about isolation have been addressed. Second, we hear from Bill Applegate, Geriatrician, retired faculty at Wake Forest, and former Editor in Chief of JAGS (Bill recruited Eric and me to join JAGS as editors about 10 years ago). Bill had a distinctly negative experience in two assisted living facilities (ALFs), which you can read about in his JAGS essay, titled, "My Journey Through Assisted Living Facilities." Bill is seriously concerned about the lack of national oversight, poor staffing, and financial motivations behind for-profit and private-equity owned ALFs. Finally, we hear from Melissa Aldridge, a former banker turned health services researcher, about the rise of private equity purchases of Assisted Living Facilities nationally.  This is a follow up to our prior podcast on private equity gobbling up hospices with Melissa, Lauren Hunt, and Krista Harrison. Melissa is concerned that private equity has a very short time frame to turn acquisitions profitable, and cutting staff is often their first move.  Further, private equity is financing these acquisitions with debt that is increasingly hard to trace and regulate. We talk about how private equity moving from purchasing fast food chains, toy stores, and hotels into CCRC, ALF, nursing home, and hospice ownership is a major concern.  This is not the same as Blackstone buying the Hilton and turning a profit.  These institutions provide healthcare, daily care needs, and community for a huge swath of older adults.  These concerns should trigger a higher level of scrutiny, oversight, and regulation than other industries. What can you do about this, dear listeners?  Listen to the end to find out! Thanks to Jerry Gurwitz for suggesting this podcast.  We appreciate your suggestions. Keep 'em coming. -Alex Smith   

Get Jimmie's book free: JimmieApplegate.comBook a conversation: BeaconTreatmentCenter.com  Email Jimmie: Jimmie@LiveSober.us What if everything you thought you knew about recovery was built on a broken foundation?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Jimmie Applegate, founder of Beacon Treatment Center in Arizona, author of Addicted to Failure, and a man who spent 30 years in the grip of addiction before finding what actually works. What he built on the other side of that journey is one of the most thoughtful, science-backed, and genuinely human approaches to recovery I've ever come across.Jimmie's guiding principle is simple but powerful: there are as many doorways to recovery as there are people. The moment you force everyone through the same door, you start losing them. Addiction is customized to the individual, and so recovery has to be too.We go deep on the 4 doors every person in recovery moves through, the real neuroscience behind why 30-day programs fail, what it takes to reach someone who hasn't admitted they have a problem yet, and the vision Jimmie is building toward, including a new facility in the Black Hills to serve the Lakota Nation, where the average adult male dies at 47.The people you'll hear from in this episode - Ryan, Travis, Sheldon, and Talbot - all came through Jimmie's program and now work inside it. They are proof the doors exist.In this episode, Jimmie and I break down:Why the traditional recovery system keeps cycling people through failure - and what the alternative looks likeThe 4 doors to recovery and what each one actually means in a person's lifeReal stories from men who hit every kind of rock bottom, and what finally changedWhy rock bottom is not always required, and why waiting for it is sometimes fatalThe science behind brain rewiring and why 6 to 8 months is the real minimumHow intentional stress, nature, and brotherhood are built into the treatment modelThe role of multi-generational trauma, especially in Native American communitiesWhat Jimmie is building next - the app, the Black Hills facility, and the $7 million askNote: The experiences and recovery stories shared in this episode are real accounts from individuals who went through Jimmie's program.

Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1958 baseball movie musical, "Damn Yankees." They introduce the film (1:10), with an overview of the story, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film, with a new metaphor (6:57). Quick promos for "Cryptid" and the podcast "Sometimes it Rains" (13:47). Amount of Baseball (16:09) is helped by early baseball and a good montage, but there's not a ton here. Baseball Accuracy (23:15) kicks off with some debate on the central premise and impact on score, umpire razzing, and Joe's inconsistent baseball opinions. Does Shoeless Joe Jackson exist in the world of this film? Some Kansas City baseball timeline problems, the six months out of every year fallacy, and goulash vs. Willie Mays. They dive in on Carlos Paula, Angel Scull, Joe Black,the integration of the Washington Senators, and a brief racial history anecdote with the Twins. A Washington Senators overview and look at pennant-less droughts throughout baseball history. How often do you need to hit a homer to save a losing ball club, w/r/t the 1957 Senators pitching rotation. Accuracy in the song "Heart," plus newspaper accuracy. Storytelling (1:01:21) dives in on the confusing terms of the deal with the devil, and who Joe Hardy actually is. "Who's Got the Pain?" These scouts, I guess. They also discuss Joe Hardy's HOF case, games missed in the storytelling, problems with singing a song and writing a letter simultaneously, and songs removed and added from the Broadway version. How old is Lola? How superb is Gwen Verdon in "Whatever Lola Wants"? They wrap up with "Two Lost Souls," Sister Miller's name, the costume design, Mr. Applegate's particular scope of power, and the flatness of the cinematography. The Score Tool (1:42:20) considers the tunes and scoring of Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. Acting (1:44:00) discusses chiefly the performances of Tab Hunter, Gwen Verdon, Ray Walston and Jean Stapleton, with some discussion of the ensemble and the impact of the cast carrying over from the Broadway run. Delightfulness of Catcher (1:50:19) assesses the character of Smokey, played by Nathaniel Frey. Delightfulness of Announcer (1:53:42) sees a short debate on its existence. Lack of Misogyny (1:55:34) considers wives singing about their husbands' obsessions with baseball as they wait around to be noticed, undermining Sister Miller's baseball fandom, and 1001 issues with "Goodbye Old Girl" and "Empty Chair." There are Misogyny issues with Gloria and Applegate, too. Marie Antoinette injustice. They wrap up with the missing songs' impact on this tool, and Joe and Meg's reunion.  No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (2:17:20), Six Degrees of Baseball (2:22:00), Favorite Moment (2:24:26) Least Favorite Moment (2:26:20), Scene We Would Have Liked to See (2:28:22), Dreamiest Player (2:30:27), Favorite Performance (2:31:10), and Next Time (2:33:06).

The Fourth Sunday of Easter: Fr. Applegate speaks

In this episode, we're leaving the flatlands behind and heading into the rugged, timbered heart of Southern Oregon. Spring bear hunting in the Cascades isn't just a hunt—it's a chess match played against steep terrain and a receding snowline.​We're breaking down the specific strategies needed to find success in the Rogue, Dixon, and Applegate units. From the deep, heat-sink canyons of the Rogue River to the high-alpine basins where the big boars follow the elk calves in June, we cover the exact "where" and "when" of the Southern Oregon green-up.​What You'll Learn:​The River-to-Ridge Strategy: Why your April should start in the canyon bottoms and how to track the snowline as the season progresses.​Terrain Traps: Identifying topographic "benches" and micro-meadows that hold bears in the thick Southern Oregon brush.​The Glassing Game: Why a tripod is your most valuable piece of gear and how to spot the "shimmer" of a bear in the heavy timber.​Local Legends: Understanding the high probability of color-phase bears in our region and how to field-judge a trophy boar versus a sow.​The 2026 Checklist: Mandatory ODFW check-in rules, tooth extraction tips, and the "Prop the Jaw" trick every hunter should know.​Whether you're battling the poison oak in the lower canyons or glassing the high rocky balds, this episode is your tactical roadmap for one of the most challenging seasons in the Pacific Northwest.​Gear Up. Sit Still. Watch the Green.​Available on all major streaming platforms.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anna Urošević Applegate to discuss her book Slava! Slavic Paganism and Dual-Faith Folk Ways, an in-depth exploration of Slavic Pagan traditions and the dual-faith practice that weaves together folk Paganism and Eastern Orthodox Christianity. We talk about Anna's experience growing up in the United States as the child of immigrants, navigating the liminal space between cultures, and how those experiences shaped her spiritual path and worldview. Slava! brings out the rich traditions of Slavic cosmology, magic, and honoring land and ancestors—wherever you may live. The book offers practical insights into working with Slavic deities, along with guidance on rituals, meditation, altar building, and seasonal practices that can be adapted to where you live and your own experiences. Whether you have Slavic heritage or feel called by deities such as Perun or Veles, this conversation—and Anna's work—offers a meaningful resource for deepening your practice.

What if the spirit world is closer than we think—woven into the stories, symbols, and experiences that shape our lives? In this enchanting and thought-provoking episode, Sheila Applegate explores Spirit of the Enchanted One, sharing a journey that blends spirituality, imagination, and personal transformation. Drawing from her creative work and spiritual perspective, Sheila discusses how storytelling can become a bridge between the physical and the unseen. She explores themes of inner awakening, connection to higher guidance, and the idea that each of us may carry an “enchanted” aspect within—waiting to be discovered and expressed. This episode invites listeners to step into a world where intuition, symbolism, and meaning come together. Are these experiences expressions of the imagination, or do they reflect a deeper spiritual reality? And how can embracing this perspective bring clarity, creativity, and purpose into everyday life? Join us for a captivating and inspiring conversation that celebrates the magic of storytelling and the mystery of the human spirit—where the journey within may be the most enchanted path of all.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Fr. Applegate speaks about Doubting Thomas on the Second Sunday of Easter

In this episode, we hear from multiple witnesses across Oregon and Kentucky who have spent time deep in remote wilderness areas and walked away with experiences they can't explain.A mushroom hunter in the Siuslaw National Forest describes the moment everything in the woods went silent before something responded to his call—and followed him out, throwing a log that narrowly missed his head.In Applegate, a 1979 encounter unfolds near a remote mining camp, where a massive upright figure moved down a ridge, shaking trees and forcing a seasoned outdoorsman to leave the area immediately.A retired Army major shares years of activity on a rural property near Land Between the Lakes, including an unidentifiable growl, persistent stalking sounds, and an incident involving his vehicle being moved overnight.In Rainier, Oregon, ongoing CURRENT DAY 2026 activity surrounds a family's property—tree knocks, vocalizations that sound like conversation, massive tracks in the mud, and something that approaches the house after dark.And in western Kentucky, a skeptic enters the woods to test what he thought couldn't be real, only to capture a thermal image and find footprints that raise more questions than answers.These accounts come from people who know the outdoors—and know when something isn't right.

The job search can sometimes feel like sending your résumé into a void.Applications go out… and silence comes back.In my latest episode of Connect Inspire Create, I sat down with recruiter insider Megan Applegate, who spent years reviewing thousands of résumés and sitting in hiring manager discussions.Her perspective was eye-opening.Many highly qualified professionals are filtered out long before a human ever reads their experience. Not because they lack skill, but because their résumé isn't speaking the language recruiters and hiring systems expect.In this conversation we explore:• What recruiters actually look for in the first few seconds of a résumé• Why the job search often feels like a black box• The small mistakes that cause strong candidates to get filtered out• How to position your experience as a solution rather than a list of tasks• Why networking still opens many of the most meaningful opportunitiesWhether you're considering a career shift, supporting someone in their job search, or simply curious about how the hiring process really works, Megan shares a behind-the-scenes look that brings clarity to the process.Connect with Megan on LinkedInInterested in the TAP approach?

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Mark from southwest Oregon, whose life was permanently changed by a late-night encounter on a snowy mountain road near Grants Pass. What first appeared to be a small tree standing along a ridge revealed itself to be something towering, powerful, and far too close for comfort. That moment in the late 1980s set the course for decades of reflection, research, and unexpected encounters across some of the most active wilderness corridors in the Pacific Northwest.Living near the Applegate and Rogue River regions, Mark shares how reports quietly surfaced over the years from hunters, firefighters, law enforcement, and everyday outdoorsmen who trusted him enough to speak. He recounts a recent investigation near Butte Falls involving thermal imaging, night vision, and his 165-pound wolf hybrid, where the forest seemed to move with intention and the night carried sounds that still defy explanation.From repeated 3AM vocalizations near Wolf Creek and Glendale, to unsettling activity in the Diamond Lake region and Highway 138 corridor, Mark paints a vivid picture of southern Oregon as a place where something continues to operate just beyond the edges of certainty. He also reflects on the stranger elements reported by credible witnesses—anomalous lights, missing time, and phenomena that challenge simple classifications.Mark's grounded, thoughtful perspective brings weight to every detail. His story spans decades, terrain, and testimony, offering a rare look into ongoing activity in one of the most compelling regions for Sasquatch reports in the country.Join us as we explore Mark's experiences and the enduring mystery unfolding in the forests of southwest Oregon.

This week, Steve and Yvonne interview David Yarborough and William Applegate of Yarborough Applegate Law Firm, LLC (https://www.yarboroughapplegate.com/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review   View/Download Trial Documents   Case Details: Yarborough Applegate secured a landmark jury verdict against Amazon for $44.6 million, including $30 million in punitive damages, after a man was catastrophically injured in a motorcycle collision with an Amazon van on Orangeburg Road in Summerville, South Carolina. This distracted driving case marks the first time Amazon has tested with a jury the issue of whether the online retail and global logistics giant will be held responsible for injuries caused by one of its 285,000 Amazon Delivery Associates (drivers) it calls independent contractors.  Yarborough Applegate attorneys David Yarborough, Alexandra Heaton, and William Applegate, working alongside Nick Clekis of the Clekis Law Firm in Charleston, represented a motorcyclist who sustained a traumatic brain injury and numerous orthopedic injuries in September 2021 when an Amazon Delivery Associate failed to yield to the right of way and turned left directly into his path. We filed suit against the driver, the local delivery company MJV Logistics, and Amazon, Amazon Services, and Amazon Logistics Inc. Source.   Guest Bios: David Yarborough David has a history of achieving record-breaking jury verdicts and settlements for his clients. In December 2023, David and partners obtained a $44.6 million jury verdict against Amazon.com, Inc. in the first case to hold Amazon vicariously liable under an agency theory for the vicarious and negligent acts of its delivery drivers, whom Amazon claims are independent contractors. This was the largest personal injury verdict ever awarded in conservative Dorchester County and is believed to be one of the largest jury verdicts in South Carolina history in an injury case not involving death. Read more about this case here. In October 2021, David achieved the largest dram shop verdict ever in Charleston County, South Carolina, for the sale of alcohol to minors by a Sunoco gas station. David and the firm also achieved one of the top 100 jury verdicts in the United States from their $35.9 million verdict against PEPCO in conservative Montgomery County, Maryland. David has collected jury verdicts and settlements totaling hundreds of millions of dollars for his catastrophically injured clients in cases involving bad faith against insurance companies; industrial plant injuries resulting in worker deaths; product liability from automobile rollovers and industrial machine injuries; toxic chemical spills by railroad companies; pool drownings; trucking and auto accidents; nursing home and daycare negligence; dram shop and alcohol liability negligence by bars and restaurants; and negligence by retail stores, energy companies, apartment complexes, hotels, and construction contractors for job-site, balcony collapse and premises injuries. He is a member of the Charleston Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), the South Carolina Association of Justice, the American Association for Justice, the Charleston County Bar's Mental Wellness Committee, Lawyers Helping Lawyers, and the Board of Regents of TriCounty Family Ministries. For the past twenty-five years, David has been heavily involved in mentoring and counseling people suffering from alcoholism and addiction who are seeking recovery. He places a large emphasis on giving back to the local community through free legal work and generous financial and service contributions to local charities each year. He and his wife, Jessica, are Charleston natives and have four children. Prior to founding Yarborough Applegate, David was a partner at another Charleston-based law firm, where he was part of a national trial team defending products liability cases in trials across the United States. His experience handling national litigation and having represented both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts around the country provides him with a varied perspective in discovery strategy, negotiations, and trial. Read Full Bio   William Applegate With nearly twenty years of experience in the courtroom, William is a seasoned trial lawyer with a track record of success. He has successfully litigated complex cases involving toxic torts, electrocutions, police negligence, medical negligence, and premises liability, representing clients suffering from the most severe catastrophic injuries. Beyond having had numerous trial victories, he has also achieved two record-breaking verdicts, been recognized by his peers as one of the top litigators in the state, won numerous awards as a leader in the law, and has been consistently given Martindale-Hubbell's highest ranking as an AV lawyer. Beyond his experience and hard work, he is a passionate advocate for his clients, who are defined by determination and perseverance. William understands that his clients, many of whom find themselves in desperate situations following serious trauma, such as the death of a loved one or experiencing life-altering injuries, are relying on him, and he takes this responsibility personally. In 2014, William and his team represented 28-year-old paralyzed construction worker Hugo Hernandez against PEPCO (Potomac Energy and Power Company). After a two-week trial against PEPCO in Montgomery County, Maryland, the jury awarded Mr. Hernandez $35.9 million in damages in compensation for the overwhelming cost of Mr. Hernandez's future medical care as a young, C4 paraplegic as well as for his pain and suffering and loss of income. This was the largest verdict in Montgomery County history and was one of the largest verdicts in American history for an undocumented worker. In 2019, William represented an undocumented worker who was killed when electrocuted by a power line that was hidden by vegetation, which Dominion Energy had failed to maintain, and a jury returned a $21 million dollar verdict, the largest verdict in the history of Colleton County, SC. In 2021, William represented a Claflin College student who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a car crash caused by a road construction defect. After a two-week trial, the jury returned a $13.1 million dollar verdict against the road contractor Archer Western and the Department of Transportation, also awarding punitive damages against Archer Western. In all three of these cases, William refused offers of millions of dollars to ensure his clients were fully compensated by a jury. William was born in Charleston, SC, and with the exception of studying abroad to become fluent in Spanish, he has remained in SC his entire life. He is a graduate of the College of Charleston and the University of South Carolina School of Law. As a law student, he received the Public Interest Law Society Grant to work in Washington, D.C., served as vice-president of the Pro Bono Board, and was a student member of the John Belton O'Neal Inn of Court. Following law school, he served as law clerk to the Honorable James R. Barber, III, of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of the State of South Carolina before starting in private practice with Motley Rice, one of the largest plaintiff's firms in the country. William has a deep commitment to South Carolina and is very involved in his community in Charleston. He serves on the board of the Historic Charleston Foundation and actively supports numerous charitable organizations, including One80 Place, in their fight against homelessness, Communities in Schools, the Coastal Conservation League, and the Southern Environmental Law Center. William is a regular speaker at various legal conferences, is a member of the American Bar Association and Charleston County Bar Association, and is an active member of the South Carolina Association for Justice. When not working, William and his wife, Lydia, enjoy raising their two children in South Carolina.

Journals play an important role for academics. They disseminate new knowledge and separate good from bad research. They also signal competencies, reputation, and standing. Publishing in certain journals often means your work is more rigorous. It may also mean your work is more visible and gets cited more often. Plus, having your work appear in certain journals can be an important prerequisite for career advancement and it can literally affect your salary. Yet of course, these different functions can be evaluated in different ways. Not all journals score equally high or low on all these different aspects. Determining which journal is "good" or "top" becomes a complicated multidimensional riddle. We decided to ask Jason Thatcher. He is one of the most prolific authors of journal papers our field has ever seen and he has served as reviewer or editors on most if not all of them. We try to develop a simple 2x2 decision tool that helps authors identify journals that are both rigorous and prestigious, that are good for the research we do and good for our careers as well.

If rehab worked the way it's supposed to…why do so many people end up right back where they started?After more than 30 years in the trenches of addiction treatment, Jimmie Applegate has some theories.In his recently released book Addicted to Failure: Why the Rehab System Doesn't Work and What Must Change, he pulls back the curtain on the myths, blind spots and outdated models that keep people stuck.We talk trauma, brain rewiring, why “just go to rehab” is wildly oversimplified and what real, lasting recovery support should actually look like. This one is part wake-up call, part hope for something better.Learn all about Jimmie's work here.  Finally, check out all things Recovery Rocks, Lisa and Anna. Lisa Smith is the author of the award-winning memoir Girl Walks Out of a Bar.

The Hidden Dose, a special episode of Flavors and KnowledgePicture this: It's a chilly February afternoon in Providence, Rhode Island, and you're wheeling your cart down the bright aisles of your local grocery store. The meat section stretches out ahead—rows of chicken breasts, ground beef, pork chops, all wrapped neatly and labeled with promises of freshness.But as your hand hovers over that familiar package, a question nags at you: What's really in this? Beyond the visible cuts, there's an invisible legacy: antibiotics fed to these animals throughout their lives. You're not alone in wondering. Millions of us are asking the same thing: How does routine antibiotic use in livestock impact our health, the environment, and the terrifying rise of superbugs?Let's pull back the curtain on what's happening in farms, stores, and restaurants across the U.S.—and give you the facts to shop and eat smarter.It all begins on the farm. Most of America's meat, poultry, and dairy comes from large-scale industrial operations.For decades, antibiotics—many of the very same ones doctors prescribe to us—have been routine here. Not just to treat sick animals, but mixed into feed or water to prevent disease in those crowded conditions, and even to make animals grow faster. The downside? It supercharges antibiotic resistance. Bacteria evolve, survive drug treatment, and suddenly infections in people become much harder—or even impossible—to treat.The CDC estimates that at least 2.8 million Americans deal with antibiotic-resistant infections each year, leading to over 35,000 deaths. A huge chunk of that resistance links back to overuse in agriculture, which still accounts for roughly 70% of medically important antibiotics sold in the U.S.Things are shifting, but not always in the right direction. Recent numbers are concerning: In 2024, sales of these important antibiotics for livestock jumped 16%—the biggest yearly spike since tracking began in 2011. Total sales hit nearly 7.1 million kilograms. Swine accounted for 43%, cattle for 41%, turkeys for 11%, and chickens for only 4%. That's progress in poultry, but the overall rise points to disease outbreaks, bigger herds, and continued preventive use.Globally, experts project livestock antibiotic use could climb another 30% by 2040 if nothing changes. And this isn't just a farm problem—it's a human health crisis.Regulations have stepped in. Since 2017, the FDA has banned antibiotics used solely for growth promotion and requires vet oversight for medically important antibiotics. USDA testing ensures no antibiotic residues remain in the meat or milk you buy. But that doesn't stop routine use earlier in the animal's life, where resistance builds.Some states like California go further, limiting preventive use and making grocery chains report on suppliers. Nationally, though, usage intensity is still nearly double Europe's.Now, let's bring it home to the grocery store. Chains like Walmart, Costco, and Kroger carry both conventional and antibiotic-free options. Hunt for labels like "Raised Without Antibiotics" or "No Antibiotics Ever"—these mean no antibiotics were used (with rare exceptions, such as day-old chicks in some poultry cases). Some states, like California, go further, limiting preventive use and making grocery chains report on suppliers.USDA Organic takes it higher: It prohibits almost all antibiotics, requires third-party audits, ensures better welfare, and prohibits synthetic pesticides. Brands like Applegate, Coleman Natural, and Perdue make these easy to find. Demand is growing—antibiotic-free meat sales surged years ago, and organic sales continue to trend up. New 2026 certifications add trustworthy third-party audits to fight greenwashing.But watch out: Phrases like "No Growth-Promoting Antibiotics" can still allow preventive doses, so they don't fully tackle resistance.Read the Full Content Subscribe to the FK Newsletter Free SimVal Media, USA

During Race Industry Week by EPARTRADE, Jonathan Applegate, Senior Manager of Mazda Motorsports, breaks down the continued growth, competitiveness, and future direction of the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Whelan—one of the most respected driver development championships in global motorsport.Fresh off the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Cup Shootout, Applegate explains how Mazda evaluates and invests in young talent, why the series has become a destination championship, and how the MX-5 Cup ladder connects grassroots racing to professional careers in IMSA, sports cars, and beyond.A major focus of the discussion is Mazda's decision to move the 2025 Shootout to Circuit Florida, a brand-new track unavailable on simulators—ensuring a truly level playing field where adaptability, feedback, and learning speed mattered more than prior knowledge.

SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, host Caleb Talley sits down with Heather Applegate, founder of Pivot X Coaching, for a conversation packed with wisdom on entrepreneurship, coaching, and personal growth. Heather shares her unique journey from studying psychology to launching Pivot X, an executive coaching and strategic advisory firm. Her passion for human behavior and propelling teams forward shines as she explains how she helps founders and executives transition from product-focused mindsets to leading effective teams, and eventually, through ownership transitions. A major theme throughout the discussion is the importance of realignment over stigmatizing the “pivot. Her approach encourages leaders to embrace change as an opportunity, rather than a setback. Heather also offers insights into the emotional challenges entrepreneurs face, especially as companies grow and founders struggle with shifting identities and relinquishing control. Additionally, networking and community are central topics; Heather recounts the fears she overcame to put herself out there, ultimately reaping rich relationships and opportunities within Northwest Arkansas's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Her reflections on balancing ambition with personal life offer a refreshing take on what true success means. For anyone in the midst of a pivot, or simply seeking clarity on their entrepreneurial path, this episode is a must-listen!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(06:10) Understanding Fear in Relationships(07:55) Founder Identity Challenges During Growth(12:37) Building Community Through Events(13:41) Overcoming Fear to Connect(18:29) Expressing Purpose with Words(22:41) Life and Goal Reflection Strategy(24:00) Closing ThoughtsLinksCaleb TalleyStartup JunkieStartup Junkie YouTubeHeather ApplegatePivot X Coaching

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm taking the week to relax with family. Please enjoy the re-airing of this recording, which originally aired December 17, 2024.Hello Libration Nation! This week we are discussing the classic series Animorphsby K.A. Applegate. Animorphs is a collection of 54 middle-grade books in which five young adults are gifted the power to morph into animals. It was a bit of a cult phenomenon when it was originally published in the late '90s and has recently seen a resurgence online.My guest is Fiona Fenn. Fiona is an author of fantasy novels that put complicated “heroes” front and center. A fan of villains, redemption arcs, and intense explorations of healing in all its forms, her debut novel, The Crack at the Heart of Everything, is a love letter to every villain who wanted to do better but never got the chance.I so enjoyed this conversation with Fiona, talking about the Animorphs series and her love for it, as well as her experience writing and publishing her first novel and everything that goes into this process.Our drink this week is a Flying Saucer, as the Animorphs series begins with the kids meeting an alien who has flown to EarthFlying Saucer Recipe (from Bevvy.com)INGREDIENTS1 oz Amaretto Di Saronno liqueur1 oz Kahlua coffee liqueur3 oz cream3 oz iceCombine in blender until smooth and creamy, serve with cinnamon stick for garnish!In this EpisodeFiona Fenn's WebsiteBuy The Crack at the Heart of Everything by Fiona FennMichael Grant Gone seriesTiny Fox PressAnimorphs AloudQueer Liberation LibraryKA Applegate WebsiteFree Animorphs PDFsFiona Fenn's Substack
