Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to dissect North Carolina's improved three-point shooting during the month of January. With Henri Veesaar leading the way percentage-wise, the Tar Heels have found a rhythm across the board from outside and as Barnes points out, the offensive improvement is clear. The question that remains is the rise sustainable and how better can the offense work with the improvements.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Acabo de leer el último libro de Julian Barnes, último hasta la fecha pero también último en el sentido definitivo, pues con él cuelga los hábitos. El libro, que lleva el revelador título de 'Despedidas', se ocupa -como tantos de los suyos- de la memoria. Y se inicia hablando de un fenómeno neurológico, que responde a las siglas de IAM, y que consiste en que, en determinadas circunstancias, una sensación activa un recuerdo, y este recuerdo activa otro, disparando una reacción en cadena que despierta una cascada de recuerdos similares. Imagina que hueles en café de la mañana y, de pronto, se te encadenan los miles de cafés de máquina aguachirlados que te has embaulado a lo largo tu vida. El fenómeno es bonito si pensamos en Proust, ya de mayor, que mordisquea una magdalena y eso abre una esclusa de recuerdos, desplegando ante sus ojos todas las magdalenas que comió en su vida hasta alcanzar esa primera magdalena que probó siendo un niño. Pero también puede ser odioso: imagina que oyes por la calle una canción de verano y, de repente, se te vienen a las mientes King Africa, Georgie Dann, la Macarena y el Tiburón, todo de golpe.Leyendo a Barnes, me preguntaba qué pasaría si experimentáramos un IAM y nos pasaran por la cabeza todas las versiones que se han ido dando a cuento del accidente ferroviario durante los últimos días: primero renovación integral, luego renovación por tramos, que si avisó Adif, luego que si avisó Renfe… Si me dan a elegir, más que una magdalena de Proust, preferiría una magdalena tratada con sedantes que hiciera borrar la memoria de estos días.A veces, como dice Dante en la Divina comedia, la memoria sucumbe a tanto exceso, así que recordemos lo justo.

Part 2 of 2. OA 1230 - Seeing all the obstacles to holding government officials accountable, Congress created Section 1983, allowing citizens to sue for money damages for violations of their civil rights. We cover how that works, the one weird trick it uses to get around state sovereign immunity, and how that accidentally created the infamous qualified immunity doctrine that has made police seemingly unaccountable.

Some pain does not just hurt. It reshapes how you trust, how you speak, and what you hide. In this tender episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits with author Lisa K. Raynor to explore what changes when survivors finally tell the truth. This episode is for anyone carrying trauma in silence, and for loved ones who want to support without judgment. Lisa shares how secrecy, shame, and not being believed can shape relationships and self-worth, and how small steps like writing can become a doorway to healing and helping others. About the Guest: Lisa K. Raynor is the author of Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife. She shares lived experience and reflections on survival, silence, and the non-linear path of healing. Key Takeaways: If you are not ready to share everything, start with one small safe step (journaling, a poem, a private note). Being “high-functioning” can hide deep pain; perfection is not proof you are okay. Not being believed keeps many survivors silent, so choose support carefully. Triggers can show up years later; you can “visit” dark days without living there. Shift the blame where it belongs: survivors are not responsible for what happened.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're exploring one of the most empowering decisions women can make for their reproductive future: fertility preservation through egg freezing.Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Jamie Knopman, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and co-author of the upcoming book "Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future." Dr. Knopman serves as Director of Fertility Preservation for CCRM Fertility of New York and is a leading advocate for women's reproductive health education.Dr. Knopman shares why egg freezing is "the new sunscreen"—a preventative measure that gives women control over their reproductive timeline. She explains the ideal age to freeze eggs (hint: it's younger than you think), debunks common myths about the birth control pill and fertility, and reveals how the vitrification process has revolutionized success rates since 2011.This conversation covers the complete egg freezing process from start to finish, the recovery timeline, how employee benefits are changing to support fertility preservation, and why reproductive health education should start as early as high school. Dr. Knopman also discusses fertility planning for LGBTQ+ couples, the importance of understanding your menstrual cycle, and how egg freezing fits into the broader picture of reproductive rights and body autonomy.This episode is for you if if you're in your 20s or early 30s planning your career and future family, considering egg freezing but unsure where to start, working in HR and evaluating fertility benefits for employees, part of the LGBTQ+ community exploring family-building options, a parent wanting to educate your daughters about reproductive health, or a healthcare professional seeking to better counsel patients on fertility preservation.Pre-order "Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future" Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Fertility-Freezing-Surrogacy/dp/1324111488] Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/own-your-fertility-jaime-knopman/1147402776 Audible:

Peachtree Corners continues to push forward on what “smart city” can really mean—and in this in-person episode of Peachtree Corners Life, host Rico Figliolini sits down with City Councilman Phil Sadd (Post 1, District 1) to unpack the biggest initiatives shaping the city right now. From public safety innovation to trails, traffic, redevelopment, and housing, Phil walks through what's happening, why it matters, and what residents can expect next.Leading the conversation is a new Drone as First Responder pilot that can launch automatically from certain 911 priority calls—arriving on scene in seconds to provide real-time awareness, improve safety, and support de-escalation before officers arrive. The episode also covers major quality-of-life and economic development efforts including Crooked Creek Trail, workforce/affordable homeownership in Mechanicsville, updates on The Forum redevelopment, the new public innovation park Curiosity Corner, and upcoming mobility projects like the Peachtree Parkway lane conversion and the Winter's Chapel corridor multi-use path open house.Key takeawaysDrone as First Responder (DFR) is launching as a pilot with Brinc (integrated with Motorola's dispatch ecosystem), and Peachtree Corners is one of five partner cities—and the only one in Georgia.Crooked Creek Trail is a major long-term project (about 1.3 miles plus spurs) with heavy environmental and safety constraints due to waterway/EPA requirements; construction is still roughly two years out.Mechanicsville workforce homeownership plan uses ARPA funds for land acquisition (about five acres) and a public-private build model with price caps and anti-flip protections to keep homes affordable long-term.The Forum redevelopment is moving toward execution: Barnes & Noble relocation enables a 125-room boutique hotel on the corner; multifamily plans are updated to below 300 units, with parking decks designed to be visually screened by buildings; target start is early 2027 (funding-dependent).Curiosity Corner is a public innovation park in Technology Park with shaded seating + connectivity, plus testing for things like Pipedream underground delivery, drone delivery, and EV programs; projected completion this spring.Traffic improvement on Peachtree Parkway: converting an existing southbound turn lane into a third straight-through lane to reduce bottlenecks; funded via SPLOST with state permission.Winter's Chapel multi-use path (Phase 2) open house: joint city involvement due to corridor “zigzag” boundaries; open house is Feb 12, 5–7.Public safety discussion focuses on improving the county partnership: Phil emphasizes better communication, better data/metrics, a potential satellite office in Peachtree Corners, and addressing staffing shortages rather than rushing toward a new department vote.

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss the impact of North Carolina's win at Virginia both on the metrics and the season's narrative. With the win, UNC has positioned itself back in the national discussion but still has work to do to improve consistency over the next six weeks and, as Barnes points out, improve the metrics for post-season seeding purposes.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Isabelle Guarino is the CEO of RAL Academy and a pioneering force in transforming the assisted living industry. Inspired by personal experience and her father's legacy, Isabelle empowers others to profit with purpose by turning residential assisted living into a vehicle for wealth, impact, and dignity. Through her educational programs, bestselling books, and heartfelt mentorship, she helps entrepreneurs create compassionate care homes that honor seniors while giving families peace of mind and financial freedom. Takeaways: Residential assisted living offers a homelike, dignified alternative to institutional care, allowing seniors to age with respect and families to remain connected in meaningful ways. Entrepreneurs can build impactful and profitable businesses in assisted living without being hands-on caregivers, by owning and operating residential homes and leveraging state licensing for both general and memory care. Achieving success in this space (and any entrepreneurial venture) requires taking action, commitment, and coachability—not just knowledge and intention. Sound Bytes: “There's something in the middle called residential assisted living, and it's just a much better option for everyone involved.” — Isabelle Guarino “In a traditional big box facility, you'll have 30 seniors to one caregiver. In an RAL, you might have four to one or five to one. That could be the difference between life and death.” —Isabelle Guarino “You are allowing the daughter or son to be a daughter or son once again... That is so beautiful to give back to families in this way.” — Isabelle Guarino Connect & Discover Isabelle: Instagram:@theisabelleguarino Podcast: The Young Boss LinkedIn:@isabelle-guarino Website: Residential Assisted Living Academy Book: Young Boss: Your Youth Is Your Power           Living Legacy: Invest In Your Community While Creating Significant Cash Flow

In At The Well, Part 2, Pastor Robey Barnes continues the story of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24, challenging the way our culture defines compatibility in marriage. Instead of finding someone who fits a fixed version of ourselves, Scripture points us to a deeper truth: real compatibility is formed when two people fix their eyes on God and allow Him to transform them. Through honest stories from early marriage and the grace-filled example of Rebekah, this message speaks to both singles and married couples—inviting us to view our spouse, or future spouse, through God's eyes. Whether you're seeking marriage or growing within it, this sermon reminds us that grace, gratitude, and surrender to Jesus are what truly build a lasting, God-centered relationship.

We dive into an inspiring and thoughtful conversation with Reverend Dr. Xenia Barnes, a social behavioural scientist and organizational healing expert. We get right into our acronym, B.I.T.C.H., which stands for Betrayal, Identity, Trust, Change, and Healing. This episode explores how women have been challenged by stereotypes, societal expectations, and the burdens of roles imposed by others. Dr. Xenia Barnes brings a deep, global perspective to these themes, discussing the layers of betrayal women face and the importance of redefining identity beyond relational or professional titles. The episode highlights the transformative journey of self-trust, the necessity of embracing change, and the healing that comes from reclaiming your life and purpose, even in the face of serious personal adversity. In this exchange, you will hear actionable advice about self-inventory, breaking free from people-pleasing habits, finding strength in solitude, and the importance of daily growth. At its core, the discussion reclaims and redefines the word “Bitch,” supporting women to embrace it as a badge of confidence, boundaries, and personal empowerment. This episode is truly about challenging the status quo, encouraging women's self-discovery, and building resilience.

Robin-Huws Barnes teaches on the power of God's Word, the believer's new creation reality, and the authority Christians have in Christ.

Through Scripture, real-life encounters, and deep spiritual insight, this teaching challenges believers to stop living by appearances and start living by divine realities.

Oregon State football is in a reset with very little margin for error. We walk through the coaching changes, why Mike MacIntyre at defensive coordinator feels like a stabilizing move, and how the transfer portal reshapes expectations for a program operating with tighter margins. The wide receiver room is clearly a rebuild, the offensive line remains the biggest on-field question, and recruiting has to be more intentional than ever. At the same time, the athletic department budget questions aren't going away, and they continue to influence everything from staffing to roster retention.#gobeavs #oregonstate #oregonstatebeavers #belligerentbeavs #podcast #chopem #oregonstatefootball #coachingchanges #jamarcusshephard #widereceivers #offensiveline #nil #athleticdepartment #scottbarnes #pac12 #beavsfootball #oregonstatebasketball

This week, Travis sits down with Lorraine Marchand, acclaimed consultant, author, educator, and innovation leader. Lorraine has spent her career shaping how organizations—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—approach problem solving and sustained growth. She's co-author of No Fear, No Failure: Five Principles for Sustaining Growth Through Innovation and brings decades of experience from roles at Bristol Myers Squibb, IBM, and on advisory boards for Johnson & Johnson and Hewlett Packard. On this episode we talk about: How Lorraine's father sparked her curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit at age 12 The invention of the “Sugar Cube” and her first lesson in innovation and royalties The difference between convergent and divergent problem solving Why fear of failure cripples innovation—and how to overcome it How Lorraine's new book helps leaders build a culture that encourages experimentation Top 3 Takeaways Curiosity and problem solving can be taught early—and they're the foundation of building wealth and innovation. The biggest barrier to innovation isn't lack of ideas; it's fear of failure and organizational rigidity. Success comes from reframing failure as learning, taking consistent risks, and staying commercially focused on solving real customer problems. Notable Quotes “Parents have a powerful role in cultivating curiosity and developing future innovators—don't take it lightly.” “The only problems worth solving are the ones customers will pay you to fix.” “Fear of failure stops innovation before it starts. Reframe it as learning, and you'll open up entirely new possibilities.” Connect with Lorraine Marchand: LinkedIn: Lorraine Marchand on LinkedIn Website: lorrainemarchand.com Book: No Fear, No Failure – available for preorder on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all-in-one sales & marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency. Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeff Hinshaw welcomes astrologer and author Lars Stars (Lars Mellis) into an intimate, at-home conversation recorded at Jeff's home in Palm Springs while Lars' visits from Los Angeles. The episode opens with a cozy, personal tone (dog underfoot, signed copies of Your Personal Horoscope 2026 freshly picked up from Barnes & Noble( and situates the discussion around reflection and nourishment. Lars shares his background as a certified professional astrologer deeply embedded in the LA astrology community, his Sagittarian-heavy chart, and the vision behind his new book: a month-by-month guide for 2026, complete with a unique totem archetype for each zodiac sign. The conversation moves into a lively rapid-fire round (Lars is the new reigning champion of Cosmic Slip N Slide, answering 13 questions in 60 seconds) and then deepens into the major astrological themes of 2026, which Lars names in our conversation as “the year of confronting reality.” Key transits include the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries, Jupiter's opposition to Pluto as it enters Leo, Uranus moving into Gemini, and a strong Aquarius–Leo axis emphasizing voice, power, and collective change. Jeff and Lars outline each sign's 2026 totem—from Aquarius as the Spokesperson to Virgo as the Exorcist—framing the year as revolutionary, catalytic, and demanding honest self-reckoning. The episode closes with invitations to engage the book, reflect on personal totems, and stay connected through community, activism, and shared astrology as the new year unfolds.   Cosmic Cousins Links Newsletter 6-Month Online Fools Tarot Journey Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Cousins Substack & Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III
