L'Afghanistan est largement passé sous les radars médiatiques depuis que le monde a les yeux rivés sur le bras de fer entre l'Iran, Israël et les États-Unis. Dans deux mois, cela fera cinq ans que les fondamentalistes ont repris le pouvoir et instauré petit à petit l'un des régimes les plus rigoristes au monde. Des Taliban qui, de façon quasi obsessionnelle n'ont de cesse de s'en prendre aux femmes, à leurs libertés et à leurs droits réduits à peau chagrin.

The Animal Rescue Podcast: what you always wanted to know but didn’t know who to ask
This week I talk with Meredith Blanchard, Director of Policy and Advocacy at the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS), to explore the realities of animal testing and the growing movement toward cruelty-free science. Meredith shares insights into the NAVS mission to replace animal experiments with humane, human-relevant alternatives such as cell-based research methods. We discuss the recent beagle rescue from Ridglan Farms, the challenges of rehabilitating former lab animals, and the ethical complexities faced by researchers and caretakers. Meredith also shares how federal agencies like the FDA and NIH are taking steps to reduce animal use and how individuals can get involved in advocacy to help end animal testing once and for all.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!In 1870, a grand private mansion rose in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Nearly fifty years later, that home took on a new identity when Harriet Chapman purchased it and transformed it into a hospital. Within its walls, more than 3,000 children were born. Yet, alongside the joy of life, there was also loss. Patients passed away, and eventually, so did the hospital's very founders.Dr. Stimson, Dr. Blanchard, and Harriet Chapman all devoted their lives to the institution. But the end of their lives came tied to the very building they had helped create. Dr. Blanchard suffered a tragic fall down the hospital's elevator shaft. Harriet Chapman and Dr. Stimson also never left the grounds in life—or, some believe, even in death.The stories tied to Stimson Hospital are layered. People have reported strange sounds echoing from the basement, objects shifting when no one is near, and voices with no source. Perhaps most unsettling are the accounts from children who grew up inside its walls. Many spoke of an “imaginary friend” they spent time with. Oddly enough, though separated by years, the children all named the same figure: Blanchard.Today, Chris Sturgill owns the property. His connection to the building isn't just about bricks and mortar, but about preserving a story that refuses to be silenced. In this episode of The Grave Talks, Chris takes us inside the history, the lives lived and lost, and the lingering experiences that make Stimson Hospital unforgettable.#StimsonHospital #Ghosts #HauntedHospital #ParanormalExperiences #Paranormal #MichiganHistory #UnexplainedStories #MedicalMystery #HauntedHistory #TheGraveTalksLove real ghost stories?

Most developers, investors, and business owners hear “USDA loan” and immediately think of farms, agriculture, or rural housing.But USDA financing can also be a powerful tool for commercial real estate projects, business acquisitions, new construction, renovations, equipment, working capital, and rural economic development.In this episode, Raphael Collazo, CCIM sits down with Jordan Blanchard, USDA lender and Co-Founder of X-Caliber Rural Capital, to break down how USDA-backed financing works for commercial real estate and business projects.Jordan explains how USDA loan programs can help eligible borrowers access capital for projects in rural communities, including areas near major cities that many people may not realize still qualify. He also shares what lenders look for during underwriting, how USDA financing compares to conventional loans and SBA loans, and the common mistakes that can delay or derail a USDA loan application.In this episode, we cover:✅ What types of commercial real estate projects may qualify for USDA financing✅ How USDA financing applies to business and commercial real estate✅ How USDA defines “rural”✅ Why some areas near major cities may still qualify✅ USDA loans vs. conventional commercial loans and SBA loans✅ The types of businesses and operators that are often a good fit✅ Using USDA loans for acquisitions, construction, renovations, equipment, and working capital✅ What the underwriting process looks like✅ Minimum and maximum loan size considerations✅ Common reasons USDA loans get delayed or denied✅ What brokers, developers, and business owners should do first if they think a project may qualifyWhether you are a commercial real estate broker, developer, investor, lender, or business owner, this conversation will help you better understand one of the most overlooked financing tools in commercial real estate.If you are exploring a project in a rural or secondary market, USDA financing may be worth a closer look.▶️ Connect with Jordan Blanchard:▶ Website: https://xrcusda.com▶ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/x-caliberruralcapitalIf you like the video, please SUBSCRIBE and don't forget to press the bell

In attempt to help Kouri Richins' evade Life With Out Parole, her defense team brought in self-described “victim's advocate” Emery Blanchard into Kouri Richins' sentencing hearing. Blanchard, who has never met Kouri Richins, implored the court to give Richins a “merciful” sentence. Emery Blanchard's father, John E. Blanchard was sentenced to 25 years to Life for the murder of Emery's mother Patricia Ann Coon Blanchard. The true story of John Emery Blanchard's murder and his parole hearing would not have helped Kouri Richins.

Retail media is attracting more investment than ever. Budgets are increasing. Networks are expanding. Expectations are rising. But one big question still sits underneath all of it: what actually drives performance? Because for many brands in the APAC region, retail media still feels like a black box. There are metrics. There are case studies. But there isn't always clarity on what actually drives growth and which levers brands need to pull to shift performance. To answer that question, Coles 360 partnered with Circana to test a series of hypotheses around what truly drives retail media performance. Through the research, they identified eight potential growth drivers. Five were proven through the data and are now shaping how Coles works with suppliers across planning, scorecarding and growth. That's exactly what today's episode is about.

L'émission 28 minutes du 12/05/2026 Elle a passé des mois dans l'intimité de la famille d'un taliban en Afghanistan Lauréate du prix World Press Photo 2026, la photojournaliste Élise Blanchard publie “Dans la maison d'un taliban” (éditions Le Cherche Midi). Pendant trois ans, après le départ des forces américaines en 2021, elle effectue plusieurs séjours, en Afghanistan, au sein de la famille d'un taliban rencontré lors d'un reportage. À travers leur quotidien, elle documente la résilience, l'humour, et la soumission des femmes, face à un système oppressif. En finir avec la Françafrique : Emmanuel Macron a-t-il tenu sa promesse ? Emmanuel Macron a choisi Nairobi pour organiser, avec le Kenya, le sommet “Africa Forward”, les 11 et 12 mai 2026. Il marque ainsi une rupture symbolique avec l'héritage de la Françafrique en choisissant, pour la première fois, un pays hôte anglophone. En 2017, lors de son discours à Ouagadougou, il affirmait : “Il n'y a plus de politique africaine de la France.” Depuis, la situation s'est fortement dégradée au Sahel avec le départ précipité de l'armée française du Mali, du Burkina Faso et du Niger entre 2020 et 2023. Dans le même temps, Emmanuel Macron a pris une série de mesures visant à reconnaître le passé colonial français. Aujourd'hui, il souhaite faire du continent africain un partenaire financier important. Il a notamment annoncé 14 milliards d'euros d'investissements, publics et privés, en Afrique. On en débat avec Nicolas Normand, ancien ambassadeur de France au Mali, au Congo Brazzaville et au Sénégal, Meriem Amellal, journaliste à France 24, spécialiste de l'Afrique et du Moyen-Orient et Martial Ze Belinga, économiste et sociologue. Xavier Mauduit revient sur l'histoire des hantavirus, ces maladies transmises par les rongeurs, après que la France a recensé son premier cas positif à ce virus. Marie Bonnisseau raconte l'histoire d'un touriste allemand, qui a obtenu 1 000 euros de dédommagement pour ne pas avoir réussi à obtenir de transat durant son séjour dans un hôtel grec. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Simon Blanchard, Dean's Professor of Marketing at Georgetown University and co-editor at the Journal of Marketing Research, joins Up Next to discuss research published in the International Journal of Research in Marketing on consumer financial data exchange. When a customer earns loyalty points at an affiliate restaurant or checks out using a buy-now-pay-later option, their financial data typically passes through actors they've never heard of. Blanchard applies equity theory to that four-actor ecosystem and explains why brands at the front of the consumer experience may carry reputational risk from partners they don't control.

Jordan Blanchard joins host Joe Jensen to break down government guaranteed lending and why programs like SBA and USDA can be major leverage tools in today's market. Jordan explains the core advantages: higher leverage than conventional loans (often 80 to 90%), the ability to lend on projected income (not just historical cash flow), and fully amortizing terms that can stretch to 25 years for USDA deals. He also clarifies a key distinction: SBA is generally owner occupied (51% occupancy rules), while USDA can be used for non owner occupied income producing projects, as long as the deal is in an eligible "rural" area based on USDA mapping and population rules. The conversation gets practical with examples and requirements, including why USDA timelines are longer (often 4 to 6 months), why many borrowers buy or control land early, and why lenders typically want a signed tenant LOI rather than building on pure speculation. Jordan also introduces Commercial PACE as a way to stack capital for energy efficient construction and improve overall leverage. He closes with lessons learned from a failed multifamily investment, plus his personal mantra "seek discomfort" and a book recommendation, The Almanac of Naval Ravikant.

Olivier Blanchard breaks down Apple's (AAPL) earnings setup as the company approaches a leadership transition and refocuses on hardware innovation. He argues Apple's measured, late‑mover approach to AI helps it avoid costly capex pitfalls facing other big tech firms, while preserving flexibility through partnerships. Blanchard also highlights the growth of services, the iPhone 17 cycle, and Apple's push into more affordable Macs as key drivers of long‑term value.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. Ken Blanchard was told in college he couldn't write. His graduate professors said he lacked academic ability. When he finished The One Minute Manager, his colleagues warned him it would embarrass him professionally. It went on to sell 15 million copies and become one of the most influential business books ever written. In this episode, we sit down with Martha Lawrence — editor, novelist, and the woman who spent 22 years working directly alongside Ken Blanchard. Martha recently wrote his biography, Catch People Doing Things Right, and she's here to share what she learned about the man, the philosophy, and why his ideas matter more than ever in today's leadership landscape.

19-year-old Aniah Blanchard disappeared after a late-night stop just minutes from home in Auburn, Alabama. What followed was a multi-agency search that uncovered violence, raised serious questions, and led to the arrest of a man who never should have been free. In 2026, that man was convicted in connection to her death. Aniah's story is one of loss, accountability, and the lasting impact that led to the creation of Aniah's Law.

L'échange s'ouvre sur ce décalage : celui d'un athlète aguerri qui découvre, presque naïvement, la violence spécifique de la course au large, et met en lumière une discipline dont les codes et la dureté sont souvent banalisés par ceux qui la pratiquent.Le projet naît d'une opportunité, mais s'ancre dans une trajectoire personnelle plus profonde : une enfance marquée par l'univers marin, puis une fascination tardive pour la voile de compétition. Rapidement, la réalité rattrape la projection. Formation accélérée, apprentissage technique, adaptation physique : Blanchard entre dans un monde où l'erreur se paie immédiatement. La découverte de l'Imoca, machine à la fois sophistiquée et spartiate, révèle un contraste brutal avec son sport d'origine : ici, la performance passe par la maîtrise d'un système complexe autant que par la résistance du corps.La course elle-même agit comme un révélateur. Dès le départ, les conditions extrêmes et les avaries plongent Blanchard dans une logique de survie. Privé de sommeil, confronté au mal de mer et à une fatigue cumulative, le trailer des Deux-Alpes décrit une expérience limite, loin de l'image héroïque souvent associée aux marins. Son témoignage, notamment via ses récits en mer, introduit un regard extérieur rare : celui d'un athlète de haut niveau qui redécouvre la notion d'inconfort absolu et requalifie la performance des navigateurs.Une fois la tempête passée, l'expérience bascule. Le rythme s'apaise, laissant place à l'apprentissage, à la contemplation et à une forme de reconnexion au temps long. Blanchard y retrouve des mécanismes familiers issus de l'ultra-endurance : gestion mentale, cycles de fatigue, adaptation permanente. Mais il en tire aussi des enseignements nouveaux, notamment sur le sommeil fractionné et la dimension collective de la performance, inhabituelle dans une discipline individuelle comme le trail.Au terme de la traversée, le bilan est lucide. L'expérience a déplacé ses repères, sans pour autant redéfinir son cap. Si la voile reste un terrain d'exploration, elle apparaît moins comme un objectif de performance que comme un prolongement d'une quête plus large : celle de l'aventure.Diffusé le 20 mars 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Dan Blanchard, maintainer of a Python character encoding detection library called chardet, released a new version of the library under a new software license.

A 'complete rewrite' is irrelevant, since they had ample exposure to the originally licensed code (i.e. this is not a 'clean room' implementation). Blanchard disagreed, citing how version 7.0.0 and 6.0.0 compare when subjected to JPlag, a library for detecting plagiarism.

In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael sits down with Yancy to explore a powerful journey from career burnout to purpose-driven leadership. What began as a successful career in green building ultimately led to a health crisis that forced Yancy to confront the cost of overperformance, unconscious habits, and chronic self-neglect. That reckoning became the catalyst for creating Casa Alternavida, a leadership and wellness retreat center in Puerto Rico designed to help leaders reset, recalibrate, and lead sustainably. Yancy shares the real, unpolished reality behind the transition including a two-year remote phase-out from his corporate role, navigating hurricanes, financial strain, and the pandemic. Rather than derailing the mission, each disruption deepened his coaching capacity and clarified the work he was meant to do. The same burnout patterns that once drove his own collapse now show up repeatedly in the leaders who attend his retreats, reinforcing a simple truth: burnout is rarely a personal failure; it is a leadership signal. From Career Success to Conscious Leadership Yancy walks listeners through the internal and external shifts required to move from traditional success metrics to values-driven leadership. Leaving a stable career was not a dramatic overnight leap. It was a slow, uncomfortable disentangling process marked by uncertainty and resilience. The environmental challenges faced in Puerto Rico, from hurricanes to infrastructure breakdowns, mirrored the internal rebuilding leaders must do after burnout. These experiences shaped the retreat philosophy: growth is forged in disruption, not comfort. That insight ultimately led Yancy to write a book grounded in lived experience, not theory, offering leaders a roadmap to recognize burnout early and respond with intention rather than collapse. The Real Root Causes of Burnout Michael and Yancy unpack burnout beyond surface-level stress management. Yancy identifies three recurring root causes he sees consistently in leaders: Neglect of physical well-being Leaders often treat their bodies as tools rather than systems, ignoring sleep, nutrition, and recovery until health forces their attention. Unconscious communication patterns Unspoken expectations, unresolved tension, and misalignment quietly drain energy and erode trust, both internally and within teams. The “superhero complex” driven by the inner critic Many leaders operate from a belief that they must carry everything alone. This identity is often praised externally while silently destroying capacity from the inside. Through the lens of self-leadership, these patterns can be interrupted. Awareness creates choice, and choice restores agency. Why Retreats Create Breakthroughs The conversation highlights why immersive retreats remain one of the most effective environments for leadership transformation. Removed from constant digital noise and performance pressure, leaders experience time differently. Presence expands. Nervous systems downshift. Perspective returns. Yancy explains that when people reconnect with their senses and the natural environment, clarity accelerates. Decisions that once felt overwhelming become obvious. Productivity improves not because leaders push harder, but because they stop leaking energy. Michael reinforces that self-care is not a reward for hard work; it is the infrastructure that makes sustainable leadership possible. Leadership That Lasts Yancy also discusses his book, Amplify Your Leadership, which distills the tools, practices, and frameworks he teaches at Casa Alternavida. The book is designed for leaders who want to scale impact without sacrificing health, relationships, or integrity. The episode closes with an invitation for listeners to rethink how they define success and to recognize burnout as an early warning system rather than a breaking point. Key Takeaways Burnout is not a weakness; it is feedback Self-leadership precedes sustainable external leadership Presence and recovery increase performance, not reduce it Leaders do not need more pressure; they need better systems Conscious communication and body awareness are non-negotiable leadership skills Learn More To learn more about Yancy's work, retreats, and leadership resources, listeners are encouraged to explore his programs and writing through Casa Alternavida. https://www.yancywright.com/ https://www.casaalternavida.com/ ABOUT YANCY A visionary facilitator and coach, Yancy Wright guides organizations to new horizons.

Emerging from his own career burnout as a luminary in Seattle's green building industry, Yancy founded Alternavida in 2013. For over a decade, he has curated impactful learning experiences for esteemed organizations like CBRE Real Estate, Blanchard, Money Group, AbbVie, and Dell Children's Hospital Foundation. Yancy's nature-centric team-building approach doesn't just transform mindsets; it empowers executives to lead authentically from the very core of their being. In 2017, Yancy reached a major milestone by designing and constructing Casa Alternavida, a tropical leadership retreat center transformed from an old, abandoned structure. Nestled between a lush rainforest and a warm ocean, this Puerto Rican sanctuary layers healthy food, quality rest, and nature adventures with personal growth. Certified in Leadership and Transformation coaching (Hendricks Institute), Resilience coaching (HeartMath Institute), and Forest Therapy (ANFT), Yancy's mastery extends beyond qualifications. His master's degree in architecture enables him to design unique experiential learning structures tailored precisely to meet clients where they are.

On our radar this week… A World Without Exploitation – Release the Epstein Files The 2017 Donald Trump lavished praise on the multi-billion-dollar plan crafted by Michigan and Canada to build the much-needed connector for our two economies. The 2026 Donald Trump sees the bridge as nothing more than a bargaining chip. We'll get into the details of the potential economic disaster with former U.S. Ambassador to Canada … and former Michigan Governor … Jim Blanchard. For Michigan Republicans, Bridgegate poses a new choice: Michigan workers, or Donald Trump. Most apparently are choosing Trump. In Washington D.C. (District of Chaos)Trump's Justice Department-led war on his critics loses again. It's said a prosecutor can get a ham sandwich indicted, but Pam Bondi couldn't get a federal grand jury to indict Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly and 4 House Democrats for sedition. Slotkin and Kelly told reporters they refuse to be intimidated by the White House bully. Another federal court, this time in Michigan, has rejected efforts by Bondi to get confidential details of Michigan's qualified voter list. The decision came from a Trump-appointed judge. 8 years after running on a pledge to “Fix the Damn Roads,” Gretchen Whitmer is celebrating bipartisan legislation that's doing just that. Her new budget calls for an extra $2 billion in road and bridge funding, a continuation of the budget deal enacted last October. The executive budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 will fund both state and local roads as it executes the first full-year of funding for Michigan’s roads. Whitmer's 88-billion dollar budget based on roughly $800 million in tax increases, $630 million in cuts and $400 million from the rainy day fund. It calls for increasing the state’s “sin” taxes to fill the gap left by Trump's federal budget cuts to Medicaid and nutrition programs. House Speaker Matt Hall says any tax increase, even if it's taxes on tobacco and gambling, is a non-starter. Senate appropriations chair Sarah Anthony counters: if that's your position, show us what you'll cut. WIll Michigan House Republicans dare to cut Medicaid benefits to ¼ of the state’s population in an election year? Trump's economy is hitting Michigan auto workers. Ford reports that 2026 profit-sharing checks will be one-third less than 2025 checks. That drop impacts not just the UAW members, but also the businesses where those workers spend money. Two of three people accused in a case regarding fake nomination petition signatures for candidates in 2022, including gubernatorial candidates, were found guilty of numerous charges by a Macomb County Circuit Court jury after two days of deliberations. A third person, the wife of one of the other defendants, was acquitted of all the charges filed against her. The signature fraud likely contributed to the GOP nominating Tudor Dixon for Governor … who was swamped by Gretchen Whitmer in the election. Unfortunately, the scores of persons who actually forged the signatures remain at large and available to do it again. We are joined this week by former U.S. Ambassador to Canada (and former Michigan Governor) Jim Blanchard who played a pivotal role in negotiating details of the Michigan-Canada agreement to build the Gordie Howe Bridge. After 8 years as Michigan's Governor, Blanchard was named as the nation's representative in Ottawa by President Clinton. He served in that role for two-and-a-half years. Governor Blanchard holds two degrees from Michigan State University, and a law degree from the University of Minnesota. We’re now on YouTube every week! Click here to subscribe.
