Bitcoin dropped under $69K even as the SEC and CFTC create more clarity for crypto, and agentic commerce looks like it will reshape the sector. --- Thank you to our sponsor, MultiChain Advisors --- Bitcoin dropped under $69K after the Fed, ECB, and Bank of England all held rates steady this week, while Australia hiked. Kaiko's Laurens Fraussen joins to explain what's actually happening beneath the surface, from collapsing liquidity to a quiet geographic shift in who's buying. He also makes the case that agentic commerce could reshape how crypto payments work entirely and we break down why the market mostly shrugged at the latest crypto guidance from the SEC and CFTC.

Skinny culture appears to be making a comeback. From celebrity bodies becoming dramatically thinner to the growing normalization of rapid weight-loss solutions, the cultural pressure to be smaller is quietly returning.For women recovering from food addiction, binge eating, and chronic dieting, this shift can be dangerous. The messaging around body size can easily pull people back into the same harmful patterns they've worked so hard to escape.In this episode, Coach Mary talks about the return of “thin is in” culture and why women in recovery need to stay grounded in a different standard. Instead of chasing extreme thinness, there is a healthier path forward that focuses on strength, stability, and long-term wellbeing.If you've ever felt the pressure to shrink your body to fit cultural trends, this conversation will help you keep your focus where it belongs.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideFood Freedom Online Course: https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodfreedomcourseFood Sobriety Mini Course -https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietymcWant to learn more about me and my coaching programs?

The Israeli/American War against Iran continues. On today's panel we wrestle with the question of the war’s legality. In doing so, we reject US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s assertion that the US will fight this war with “no stupid rules of engagement,,” and his assertion that there will be “no politically correct wars,” and “no nation-building quagmire.” While he dismisses the importance of international laws on war, we do not. So, we ask, is this war legal? Are the tactics of Israeli and American militaries legal? Is Iran's response aligned with international law?

Episode 80:  In this episode, Timalyn covers what an IRS IPIN is, who is eligible to get one, and how it is used.What is an IRS IP PIN?An IRS IP PIN is an Internal Revenue Service Identity Protection Personal Identification Number. The IRS issues these to taxpayers to help protect someone else from filing a tax return with their social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN).The IP PIN is required to determine whether the taxpayer is filing their return electronically or by paper. If the IP PIN is not present for an e-file, the return will be rejected. If it is not present on a paper filing, a delay will be caused until the taxpayer sends in their IP PIN. Anyone who has a SSN  or ITIN and can verify their identity can apply for an IP PIN from the IRS. Parents and legal guardians can also request one for their dependents. This is not limited to minor dependents.How to apply for an IRS IP PINThe fastest way to get an IP PIN is online via your IRS account. If you don't have an account, check out this article Timalyn wrote for people who need an account to access their transcripts: How to Get an IRS Transcript Online in 3 Steps . You cannot use this method if you are applying for a minor dependent.Once logged into your account, you can request an IP PIN from your profile. If you can't verify yourself online, you can apply with an application via Form 15227, Application for Identity Protection Personal Identification Number. To use this method taxpayers must have:A valid SSN or ITINAn adjusted gross income (AGI) under $84,000 (Single) or $168,000 if Married Filing Joint. Access to a telephone If these criteria aren't met the final way to request an IRS IP PIN is in person. An appointment can be made at your local Taxpayer Assistance Center. The IRS has a list of acceptable forms of identification you'll need when going to your appointment. Here is a link to the list - Acceptable Documents to Prove Identity. Key IRS IP PIN things to RememberAn IP PIN is only valid for one calendar year.The IRS issues a new IP PIN via Notice CPO1A unless you've opted out of paper mail. Then it will just be uploaded to your IRS account and is available January - November.Your Federal tax return cannot be filed and processed without your IP PIN Need Tax Help Now?If you need answers to your tax debt questions, book a consultation with Timalyn via her Bowens Tax Solutions website.  Click this link to book a call.Please consider sharing this episode with your friends and family.  There are many people dealing with tax issues, and you may not know about it.  This information might be helpful to someone who really needs it.  As we conclude Episode 80, we encourage you to connect with Timalyn on social media.

Chuck Todd opens with a grim inventory of an administration besieged on every front as the Iran war enters its twelfth day with no exit strategy in sight. He then pivots to the SAVE Act — the Republican voting bill that has 50 Senate votes but faces a filibuster John Thune admits he likely can't break. He walks through the details that go well beyond simple voter ID: the bill requires documentary proof of citizenship to register, treats women who change their name through marriage as first-time voters, and Trump is demanding additions including a near-total ban on mail-in voting — turning what polls show is an 80%-popular concept into a toxic package that could disenfranchise millions. He notes that John Cornyn flipped his filibuster position to chase Trump's Texas endorsement, warns that if Republicans nuke the filibuster and Democrats later win the Senate they won't restore it, and argues that Republicans are essentially writing legislation to make Trump's false fraud claims real — while Trump is already setting up the SAVE Act's inevitable failure as his preemptive excuse for midterm losses that have nothing to do with voting rules and everything to do with an unpopular war, a tanking economy, and a completely unserious leader running the Pentagon. Ultimately, he argues that partisan changes to voting rule destroy trust in democracy, whether it be the SAVE Act, or Democrats efforts to pass HR1. Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and celebrates the start of March Madness. Refresh your wardrobe with Quince.

Chuck Todd opens with a grim inventory of an administration besieged on every front as the Iran war enters its twelfth day with no exit strategy in sight. He then pivots to the SAVE Act — the Republican voting bill that has 50 Senate votes but faces a filibuster John Thune admits he likely can't break. He walks through the details that go well beyond simple voter ID: the bill requires documentary proof of citizenship to register, treats women who change their name through marriage as first-time voters, and Trump is demanding additions including a near-total ban on mail-in voting — turning what polls show is an 80%-popular concept into a toxic package that could disenfranchise millions. He notes that John Cornyn flipped his filibuster position to chase Trump's Texas endorsement, warns that if Republicans nuke the filibuster and Democrats later win the Senate they won't restore it, and argues that Republicans are essentially writing legislation to make Trump's false fraud claims real — while Trump is already setting up the SAVE Act's inevitable failure as his preemptive excuse for midterm losses that have nothing to do with voting rules and everything to do with an unpopular war, a tanking economy, and a completely unserious leader running the Pentagon. Ultimately, he argues that partisan changes to voting rule destroy trust in democracy, whether it be the SAVE Act, or Democrats efforts to pass HR1. Then, Fiona Hill — who served on the National Security Council under three presidents and became a household name during Trump's first impeachment — joins the Chuck ToddCast for a deeply alarming assessment of the Iran war now entering its second week, with Operation Epic Fury having metastasized into a multi-front conflict spanning nine countries, oil prices surging past $100 a barrel, and hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded across the Middle East. Hill dismantles the geopolitical chessboard with surgical precision, explaining that while there is no formal alliance between Russia and Iran and that the relationship is deeply transactional, with Iran having provided Russia with Shahed drones and helped build a drone factory. She argues that China is letting the U.S. "rope-a-dope" itself, sitting back alongside Russia to watch America bleed resources and credibility in yet another Middle Eastern quagmire. She flags the glaring double standard in the administration's diplomacy: envoy Steve Witkoff refused to take the Iranians at their word during nuclear negotiations in Geneva but accepted Russian assurances at face value. The conversation turns existential as Hill warns that Trump's adventurism — which never faced serious consequences through Venezuela or the June 2025 strikes that made Iran look like a paper tiger — has now collided with reality. Trump saw the opportunity to kill Khamenei and took it, hoping for either a popular uprising or a pliant successor, but none of those hopes have materialized. Hill calls it an Afghanistan-and-Iraq-level jam with even less global credibility.. They raise the chilling question of whether Xi Jinping might prioritize seizing Taiwan while America is overextended, observes that NORAD doesn't function without Canada and the Nordic countries that Trump has alienated, warns that the damage to America's reputation will last decades, and notes that individual U.S. states are already setting up their own diplomatic representation with foreign countries to fill the vacuum. They close with a striking contrast: unlike Russians, Americans can still vote their way out of tyranny — but the window in which that remains true may be narrowing, as we are likely entering a post-American empire period.

Discerning the Right Application of Entertainment: Part III (cont.) by Good News Baptist Church

Interview Only w/ John Adams - Bringing Local News Back From The Brink John Adams, editor of the Montana Free Press, joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that local journalism has been in crisis — and that saving it might be one of the most important things Americans can do for their democracy. Adams is on the show to promote Local News Day on April 9th, a nationwide effort involving 700 local newsrooms aimed not at fundraising but at spreading awareness. He traces the origin story of the Montana Free Press back to his appearance in the documentary "Dark Money", a story about outside money quietly trying to buy Montana politics at the local level with zero disclosure — and the journalists best positioned to expose it were losing their jobs. Adams argues the economics of local news changed drastically as advertising revenue collapsed and audiences became hypnotized by social media and smartphones, but that the need and appetite for local reporting never went away. The conversation turns to the deeper consequences of local news deserts: the loss of trusted community voices created a vacuum that bred distrust in the national press, because people no longer had local "character references" — journalists they knew and saw at the grocery store — to anchor their understanding of how media works. Adams warns that the rise of AI-generated misinformation makes reliable local sources more important than ever, noting that while younger people tend to be savvier at spotting junk online, older generations are particularly vulnerable. They close by noting that strong local news doesn't just serve democracy — it helps local businesses target customers, creating an economic ecosystem that benefits everyone — and that journalism ultimately has to reach enough people to really matter, which is exactly what Local News Day at localnewsday.org is designed to help make possible.

Chuck Todd surveys a political landscape where multiple crises are converging on the Trump administration simultaneously — and none of them are going well. The Iran war, which Chuck reiterates is a war of choice, appears to be devouring Trump's presidency: the administration burned through nearly $6 billion in munitions in just two days, is sending contradictory messages of reassurance and escalation that appear designed to manipulate markets, and seems to be operating entirely by the seat of its pants. He warns that asymmetric warfare has never gone well for the United States, that energy markets are in turmoil as Iran deliberately tries to inflict economic pain, that the threat of stagflation and energy shortages is very real, and that Trump's threat to use the Fed to shape oil markets has alarmed economists. He argues that if Trump could undo the war he would — but this won't be Venezuela 2.0, because there's no opposition on the ground to coordinate with, you can't change a regime without boots on the ground that Trump won't commit, and if the regime simply survives, that counts as victory for Iran. Meanwhile, Trump naively buys Putin's claim that Russia isn't helping Iran with targeting, and that new polling shows a majority of Americans oppose the war — with MAGA influencers notably against it even as older rank-and-file supporters stick with Trump. Beyond Iran, Chuck hits the Ticketmaster settlement as proof that Trump talks a big populist game but the lobbyists always win, warns that a partial DHS shutdown risks snarling air travel and punishing the flying public while ICE has already been funded, and cautions Democrats not to overplay their hand on the shutdown. Finally, on the day of the Mississippi primaries, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 All-Time statewide races in Mississippi and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Every leader talks about vision. Few actually define it. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black challenges listeners to examine whether their vision is truly clear—or just wishful thinking. Real vision begins with three simple but powerful questions: Where am I now? If you don’t know your starting point, you can’t chart a course. Where am I going? What does the destination look like, sound like, and feel like? What will it take to get there? Every outcome requires steps, disciplines, and habits to move from Point A to Point B. This episode explores how leaders define success, how identity shapes direction, and why purpose must anchor vision. You’ll also unpack the difference between operating from a Fear Operating System (FOS) or a Growth Operating System (GOS)—the internal framework that gives meaning to every decision. Mr. Black connects vision with practical transformation tools, including: The four stages of change: Awakening, Unlearning, Repatterning, and Integration The four laws of behavior change from Atomic Habits The leadership mindset of the 5 P’s Warrior: Peaceful, Powerful, Present, Purposeful, and People-centric Because vision without systems becomes frustration. And vision without identity becomes drift. Leadership starts with knowing: Who you are. Why you are here. What your purpose is. And whose you are. When those questions are answered, vision becomes clear—and action becomes inevitable. Inspiration. Education. Application. When you live your life like it matters… it does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of White Canes Connect, host David Goldstein speaks with Kaleigh Brendle, founder and president of Judy's League and a recent graduate of Villanova University preparing to begin law school. Kaleigh is a passionate disability rights advocate dedicated to protecting the civil rights of disabled Americans through education, outreach, and grassroots organizing. Kaleigh joins the show to discuss Judy's League, a cross-disability advocacy organization she founded in response to legal challenges threatening Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973—one of the foundational civil rights protections for people with disabilities. The conversation explores the ongoing lawsuit Texas v. Kennedy, why Section 504 matters, and how advocacy groups are working to ensure these protections remain intact. Key Takeaways Kaleigh explains what Section 504 actually requires, why current legal challenges could weaken disability protections nationwide, and how public awareness plays a crucial role in defending civil rights. She also shares how Judy's League is mobilizing advocates across the country through research, social media outreach, and grassroots engagement.

Hi, gang; it's nice to be back among the land of the living and (mostly) to have my voice back! Thanks for the notes of encouragement last week.I'm going to continue with the updated format we rolled out last week, giving some summaries of the texts for this Sunday, along with some preaching notes and such. As always, I truly welcome your feedback as to what is helpful and what is not — particularly. So, away we go! “The Great One” aka Jackie Gleason demonstrating his Away We Go poseRCL Texts1 Samuel 16:1–13God sends Samuel to Bethlehem to anoint a new king from Jesse's sons. Samuel assumes the oldest, strongest-looking son must be the one, but God interrupts that instinct: “The Lord does not see as mortals see… the Lord looks on the heart.” One by one, the obvious candidates pass by. Finally David, the youngest, is brought in from tending sheep, and God says, “Rise and anoint him.” The Spirit rushes upon David from that day forward. The passage confronts human fixation on appearance, status, and first impressions, and it highlights God's freedom to choose the overlooked.Preaching note:God's election disrupts our ranking systems. The text is not anti-giftedness; it is anti-reduction of people to image, polish, or social weight.Pastoral caution:Don't weaponize “God looks at the heart” to dismiss responsible leadership discernment or to romanticize inexperience.Application move:Invite the congregation to reconsider one person they have underestimated — in church, family, or community — and pray for eyes trained by God rather than by appearance.Psalm 23This psalm speaks in intimate trust: the Lord is shepherd, host, guide, and protector. It moves from green pastures to dark valleys without pretending the valley is unreal. God's presence is not only for peaceful seasons but also for threatening ones: “You are with me.” The tone shifts from third person (“he”) to second person (“you”) in the valley, suggesting nearness in trouble. The psalm ends not with escape from life but with confident belonging — dwelling in God's house, held by goodness and mercy.Preaching note:Psalm 23 is not sentimental denial. It names threat and still confesses trust because God is near, not because life is easy.Pastoral caution:Avoid using this psalm to force quick comfort on grieving people (“you should feel peaceful by now”).Application move:Offer a breath prayer for anxious moments this week:Inhale: “You are with me.”Exhale: “I will not fear.”Ephesians 5:8–14Paul reminds believers of identity and calling: “Once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light.” Not merely “in darkness,” but darkness — a condition now transformed by Christ. Because of that change, the church is to “live as children of light,” producing goodness, justice, and truth. The passage rejects unfruitful works of darkness and calls for discernment about what pleases the Lord. The closing line (“Sleeper, awake… and Christ will shine on you”) sounds like a baptismal wake-up call: step out of hiddenness and into Christ's illuminating life.Preaching note:Paul roots ethics in identity. We don't behave into belonging; we live differently because we already belong to Christ.Pastoral caution:Don't preach “light vs darkness” in ways that fuel self-righteousness or stigmatize those in depression, doubt, or struggle.Application move:Ask people to choose one concrete “light practice” for Lent: truth-telling, restitution, reconnection, or daily examen before bed.John 9:1–41Jesus sees a man blind from birth, and the disciples ask whose sin caused it. Jesus refuses that blame framework and says God's works will be revealed. He heals the man with mud and water, sending him to wash in Siloam. As the man gains sight, conflict escalates: neighbors debate, religious leaders investigate, parents fear social consequences, and the healed man grows bolder in testimony. Ironically, those who claim spiritual sight become harder and more blind, while the one once blind comes to faith and worship. The story is about more than physical healing; it is about revelation, courage, and the cost of confessing Jesus.Preaching note:Jesus rejects simplistic blame and restores dignity. The healed man's journey moves from partial understanding to public witness to worship.Pastoral caution:Do not imply disability is a spiritual object lesson or punishment. The text centers Jesus' works, not human fault.Application move:Challenge the church to interrupt blame-language this week (“Who caused this?”) and replace it with mercy-language (“How can God's care show up here?”).An optional sermon outline (with illustration ideas)“From Blind Assumptions to Living in the Light”Core Claim: God sees truly, stays near, and calls us to walk in Christ's light.1) God Sees What We MissText: 1 Samuel 16:1–13• Samuel looks at appearance; God looks at the heart.• David is overlooked, yet chosen and anointed.• Lent confronts our habit of judging by surface: polish, confidence, résumé, class, age.Preaching move:Name the church's temptation to mistake visibility for calling.Illustration #1 (Hiring Panel / Audition):A hiring committee nearly rejects a candidate because they're quiet and unimpressive in first-round small talk. But their portfolio reveals deep wisdom and consistency. The “obvious” pick had charisma; the right pick had substance.Point: We often confuse presentation with depth.───2) God Is With Us in the Valley, Not Just Beyond ItText: Psalm 23• The psalm includes both green pastures and dark valleys.• The turning point is not changed scenery but changed presence: “You are with me.”• Lent teaches trust in God's companionship when outcomes are unresolved.Preaching move:Pastor people away from shallow optimism toward durable trust.Illustration #2 (Night Drive in Fog):Driving in dense fog, you can't see far ahead. You move safely not because you can see the whole road, but because headlights give enough light for the next stretch.Point: God often gives “next-step” light, not full-map certainty.───3) Christ Moves Us from Blame to WitnessTexts: Ephesians 5:8–14; John 9:1–41• Disciples ask, “Who sinned?” Jesus refuses blame logic.• Healing leads to conflict, interrogation, and eventually worship.• Paul: “You were darkness, now you are light… live as children of light.”• Christian maturity means truthfulness, courage, and mercy—not scapegoating.Preaching move: Call the church to be a community where people are restored, not reduced.Illustration #3 (Recovery Story / Public Testimony):A person in recovery says, “People used to ask what was wrong with me. A mentor asked what happened to me and what healing might look like.” That shift changed everything.Point: Blame imprisons; grace opens a future.───Conclusion / InvitationThis week, invite the congregation to:1. Re-examine one judgment they've made by appearance.2. Pray Psalm 23 daily in one anxious moment (“You are with me”).3. Replace blame with witness in one hard conversation (“How might Christ bring light here?”).Narrative Lectionary TextJohn 18:28–40 (Jesus and Pilate)Jesus is brought from the religious hearing to the Roman governor's headquarters. The leaders avoid ritual defilement so they can eat Passover, while simultaneously pressing for Jesus' execution — a sharp irony about outward purity and inward injustice. Pilate questions Jesus: “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus reframes kingship: his kingdom is “not from this world,” meaning it does not arise from coercion, violence, or imperial logic. He says he came to testify to the truth, and those who belong to the truth listen to his voice. Pilate responds with the famous, evasive question: “What is truth?” Though Pilate repeatedly signals Jesus' innocence, he yields to crowd pressure and offers the Passover release choice. The crowd chooses Barabbas, and Jesus is rejected. The scene exposes political fear, compromised leadership, and the quiet authority of Christ's truth.Preaching note:The passage is not mainly about a private religious dispute; it is about the collision between God's truth and public systems of power. Jesus is not passive — he is clear, composed, and sovereign even while being judged.Pastoral caution:Avoid preaching this text in a way that collapses into anti-Jewish blame. The Gospel scene includes multiple compromised actors (religious and political), and the deeper diagnosis is human fear and sin across the board.Application move:Invite the congregation to examine one place this week where they are tempted to choose convenience over truth — then take one concrete step of truthful speech or faithful action.Psalm 145:10–13 (Optional NL Psalm)These verses are a doxology of God's kingship. All creation blesses God; the faithful speak of God's glory so that all people may know God's mighty acts. The kingdom of God is described as everlasting and enduring through every generation. In context with John 18, the psalm functions as a theological contrast: earthly rulers protect fragile power, but God's reign is steady, trustworthy, and not subject to panic or spin.Preaching note:The psalm gives the church its public vocabulary: we announce God's reign not as propaganda, but as testimony to God's enduring character.Pastoral caution:Don't turn “God's kingdom” into partisan language or culture-war slogans. The text points to God's universal, generational, mercy-shaped reign.Application move:Give a simple Lenten practice: each day name one headline-driven fear, then pray, “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; steady my heart in your rule.”Optional Sermon Outline “What Is Truth? Christ's Kingdom in a Fearful World”Core Claim: When fear distorts judgment, Jesus remains the truthful King, and the church is called to bear witness to God's enduring kingdom.1) Religious Appearance Can Hide Moral CompromiseText: John 18:28–32• Leaders avoid ritual defilement before Passover, yet pursue an unjust outcome.• John exposes the disconnect between external purity and internal posture.• Lent calls us to integrity, not image-management.Preaching move:Name how easy it is to keep religious habits while avoiding hard obedience.Suggested illustration #1 (Polished Exterior):A house can have a freshly painted front porch while the foundation quietly cracks.Point: Cosmetic faith is not structural faith.───2) Jesus Redefines Kingship Through Truth, Not ForceText: John 18:33–38a• Pilate asks political questions; Jesus gives theological answers.• “My kingdom is not from this world” = not sourced by domination, manipulation, or violence.• Jesus' mission: “to testify to the truth.”• “Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”Preaching move:Show that Christian allegiance is formed by Christ's voice before it is shaped by public anxiety.Suggested illustration #2 (Tuning Fork):A tuning fork sets the reference pitch; every instrument must tune to it or the whole ensemble drifts.Point: Christ is the reference tone for truth; without him, we normalize dissonance.───3) Fear Chooses Barabbas, but God's Kingdom EnduresText: John 18:38b–40 + Psalm 145:10–13• Pilate knows Jesus is innocent but caves to pressure.• The crowd chooses Barabbas — immediate control over inconvenient truth.• Psalm 145 counters this instability: God's kingdom is everlasting, generation to generation.• The church's task: speak of that kingdom clearly and calmly.Preaching move: Call the congregation from reactive fear to steady witness.Suggested illustration #3 (News Cycle vs. Bedrock):Headlines change by the hour; bedrock does not.Point: Public narratives shift fast, but God's reign is not up for reelection.───Conclusion / InvitationThis week, invite people to three responses:1. Confession: Where am I curating appearances instead of walking in truth?2. Discernment: Which voice is shaping my fear most — Christ's or the crowd's?3. Witness: One concrete act of truth-telling, mercy, or courage in Christ's name. This is a public episode.

Growing up in Southern California, he saw family members with preventable disease go uncared for, struggled in school, and was misdiagnosed with severe ADD in middle school before a later diagnosis of a comprehension disability. After being told in sixth grade he wouldn't amount to much, a continuation school, his mother's advocacy, and a teacher's attention kept him afloat.At UC Davis, an outreach email changed everything, placing him in a lab for four years and opening the door to both science and medicine. A friend introduced him to MD-PhD resources, and shadowing an orthopedic surgeon turned interest into excitement. Chris shares how he built an enduring motivation by reframing medicine as a currency for service, with a commitment to community, including Indigenous communities.He breaks down the hardest premed task—articulating Why Medicine—and the post-it exercise that helped him find a coherent thread. Applying during the first COVID cycle, he earned 16 interview invites and 9–10 acceptances by presenting a clear why and tangible research work. We also discuss advocacy for more GME positions in Indian country and his interest in dermatology and leading a lab.If you've ever been told you won't make it, this conversation offers practical ways to keep going.What You'll Learn:- How a misdiagnosis and school setbacks were addressed and reframed- Ways to access research and mentorship through outreach programs- A practical method to build a coherent Why Medicine- What made his MD-PhD application make sense and earn 16 interviews- Using community and advocacy to sustain motivation
