Beating the odds: Spain's Christmas lottery tradition

Spain's annual Christmas lottery will take place on December 22; it is the biggest and most popular draw of the year and an event of great cultural importance for many Catalan citizens. This week on Filling the Sink we'll be exploring the history of this festive prize draw and discovering how it is celebrated. The Loteria de Nadal has been celebrated since 1812 and is the second-longest continuously running lottery in the world, as well the biggest in terms of the total prize payout. This draw is more than just a game of chance, it's an important part of Catalan culture and of the Christmas tradition. Catalan News journalist Oriol Escudé explains the origins of the draw as a way to raise money for the defense of Cádiz against Napoleon's troops. Host Beth Cohen discovers who the students of San Ildefonso school are and why their singing forms part of the lottery draw held in the Teatro Real in Madrid. We visit some of Barcelona's most iconic ticket outlets to meet lottery vendors and discuss the odds of winning ‘El Gordo', as well as the controversy surrounding state taxation of winnings. We also chat to some of the players about their lucky numbers and how they hope to beat the odds this year. This week's Catalan phrase is “Néixer amb la flor al cul” - literally “to be born with a flower in your bottom”. It refers to good fortune acquired without effort and can be compared with the English phrase “to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth”.

Here are the top things to look for during this episode.• What is my history with public land hunting, and what do I claim will make the biggest impact for anyone to become a better hunter?• What is the big myth I think hunters believe and what is the root cause of this?• Why does believing this myth actually lead to more hunting pressure and poor hunting many times?• How did Mark and I fall for this last year, and what is the fix for falling into this trap?Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: So there I was..Episode #66Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Mark KawieckiIQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)DEER IQ Services:  • The NEW Deer IQ TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/ • For interest in our NEW Whitetail Workshop see HERE: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Other Services including our Coached Small Group, land and hunting plans for your private land,  or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/  More from DEER IQ: Website: https://deeriq.com Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762 Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/ Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/ Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/ Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/

In this episode of the DEER IQ podcast we're starting a new series called “public land - beating the odds” where we dig back into the strategies, mindsets, and approaches to be successful on public land despite the many challenges that come with it.  I'm joined this week for part 1 with Jared Scheffler of Whitetail Adrenaline, who is very well known for his aggressive approach to public land hunting, and his raw documentation of it in his DVD series. It's a great conversation aimed at beginners, but will really benefit anyone listening who hunts public land, or is thinking about it.  And yes we have our free journal you can download below, that will really help you get the most out of this podcast. Here are the top things to look for during this episode.• What did Jared struggle with initially when starting public land hunting, and what would he tell other hunters just starting out?• What does he mean by “playing defense” and “playing offense” when hunting, and how does this specifically relate to the right approach for public land?• What is the antidote to territorial hunters when you run into them?• What does Jared mean and refer to as “bear holes” vs. “rabbit holes” and why is this concept so important?  • What was his 2 big “aha” moments in public land hunting that helped propel him to where he is today?Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: So there I was..Episode # 65Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Jared SchefflerIQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)Jared's Website & DVD's: https://whitetailadrenaline.com/   DEER IQ Services:  • The NEW Deer IQ TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/ • For interest in our NEW Whitetail Workshop see HERE: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Other Services including our Coached Small Group, land and hunting plans for your private land,  or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/  More from DEER IQ: FOUNDATIONS Episode Mentioned: https://youtu.be/NBWdFHE92lg Website: https://deeriq.com Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762 Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/ Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/ Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/ Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/

Limited-time discount available – don't miss out! David Brown, known as one of the smallest Navy SEALs in history, shares his extraordinary journey from BUD/S training to high-stakes criminal investigations with NCIS and the EPA. Standing at just 5'3" and 110 pounds, Brown's memoir is a testament to persistence and determination in overcoming physical limitations. He shares his experiences from major fraud and environmental crime cases, including a landmark $17 million fine against Burlington Northern Railroad. Brown's post-retirement struggle to find fulfillment led him to write "And Goliath," a book on the challenges of transitioning from high-intensity careers and redefining personal success.    David Brown defied expectations to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. His journey, marked by perseverance and determination, took him from BUD/S training to the SEAL Teams, then to NCIS, and finally to the top echelons of Federal law enforcement. In his memoir "And Goliath," Brown shares his raw, honest story of overcoming obstacles in military life and beyond. His inspirational tale demonstrates how facing life's challenges head-on can lead to extraordinary achievements.   Mental and Physical Resilience: The SEAL training process pushes individuals beyond their perceived limits, teaching the importance of perseverance, grit, and mental toughness. The self is put last, with an ethos that success comes from placing the team's mission above individual achievements, a mindset critical for high-stakes environments. Leading with Empathy, and Flexibility: Effective leaders lead by example, demonstrating the qualities they expect from their teams, and inspiring trust and commitment through their own actions. Understand your team members' strengths, weaknesses, and needs, to foster a supportive environment where everyone thrives. Trust is the Foundation of Leadership: Effective teams are built on trust, where members rely on each other's abilities and integrity to accomplish complex missions. A successful team requires everyone to know their roles and responsibilities, fostering cohesion and minimizing conflicts. Team members must hold each other accountable while also providing support during difficult moments, creating an environment where everyone works towards the same goal. Ethics and Integrity: Integrity is non-negotiable in both military and civilian roles, a strict adherence to ethics and integrity is vital. David emphasizes that compromising on these values undermines not only personal credibility but the entire organization's effectiveness. Ethical lapses, no matter how small, can have long-term consequences, so it's crucial to always act in alignment with the highest ethical standards.   Zbiotics: Go to zbiotics.com/DIVINE to get 15% off your first order when you use DIVINE at checkout.

Hear her compelling diagnosis story and engage in an empowering conversation about advocacy and the critical importance of continued funding for Metastatic Breast Cancer research! Wren is currently 4.5 years No Evidence of Disease (NED) and 5 years living with MBC when the statistics said only 12% of women with the Triple Negative subtype will make it to that five year mark. In this episode she talks about her current immunotherapy, the power behind science, research, and funding, and continuing to advocate for herself as a patient advocate.Five years of pure hardship, but more importantly, five years of growth and beauty. Although Wren's journey comes with scars, trauma, and grief, she is a beautiful, yet imperfect work of art, and reminder that we must have hope that there are better days to come. **This episode is a tribute to all the MBC Thrivers out there who we've lost along the way, and to the people who doubted I'd still be here five years later.**Understanding Triple Negative Breast Cancer: As breast cancer affects an increasing number of women under 50, more attention has turned to TNBC, an aggressive subtype that disproportionately affects younger women. TNBC is defined by what it lacks. While 85% of breast cancers are classified by three common markers—markers that give treatments a target to attack—TNBC has none of those, meaning it has fewer treatment options making it harder to treat. ____________________________________________________Living Our Breast Lives:Instagram: @livingourbreastlivesFounder: Wren @wren_morr on InstagramLightUpMBC Personal Fundraising Page:donate.metavivor.org/fundraiser/5564372METAvivor Research & Support:Instagram: @metavivorDonate to Stage IV Research: donate.metavivor.org
