How do stress and sleep disruption stop fat loss? And what can you do to get your body working with you, not against you? I hear it all the time: you're eating right, lifting weights, and doing cardio, yet the weight scale won't budge. In this episode, I break down how chronic stress and poor sleep quietly sabotage fat loss by disrupting cortisol, insulin, hunger hormones, and metabolism. I also share the exact strategies I use to protect my sleep, calm stress, and keep my metabolism working with me instead of against me. What you'll learn: (02:42) Why chronically elevated cortisol drives insulin resistance, belly fat, and steady weight gain over time. (04:32) How stress hormones increase cravings and rewire appetite toward sugary foods. (06:59) How short sleep disrupts leptin, ghrelin, and blood sugar control. (07:46) Why even one night of poor sleep can increase insulin resistance and slow metabolism. (09:22) How poor sleep disrupts growth hormone release and muscle repair. (11:27) Why eating protein first and pairing it with fiber stabilizes blood sugar and supports fat loss. (14:57) How meal timing and caffeine cutoffs directly impact cortisol and sleep quality.

Canada has embraced a culture of death. America's neighbor to the north legalized euthanasia in 2016, and since then more than 75,000 Canadians have participated in Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying program. Canada also has no restrictions on abortion and only considers a baby a human after it passes through the birth canal. Canada has become a “totalitarian wild west,” according to Liana Graham, who grew up in Canada and now works as a research assistant in domestic policy at The Heritage Foundation. Areas that Canada should regulate, such as abortion and physician-assisted suicide, it does not; instead, it has created stringent regulations around freedom of speech and religion. On this week's episode of "Problematic Women," Liana joins the show to discuss the ways America can keep itself from becoming Canada 2.0 and protect the value of life that was intrinsic to America's founding. Also on today's show, we wrap up the year by discussing President Donald Trump's Wednesday night address to the nation.

This Day in Legal History: Entrapment as DefenseOn December 19, 1932, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Sorrells v. United States, a case that reshaped how American courts evaluate government conduct in criminal investigations. The case involved a Prohibition-era prosecution in which a federal agent repeatedly pressured the defendant to obtain illegal liquor. The Court held that criminal convictions should not stand when the government induces a crime that the defendant was not otherwise predisposed to commit. This decision formally recognized entrapment as a valid defense under federal law.Rather than focusing only on the defendant's actions, the Court emphasized the importance of limiting improper law enforcement tactics. The majority opinion reasoned that Congress could not have intended criminal statutes to be enforced through deception that manufactures crime. As a result, courts were instructed to examine whether the criminal intent originated with the government or the accused. The ruling reflected growing concern about aggressive policing methods during Prohibition. Over time, Sorrells became a foundational case cited whenever defendants challenge undercover operations. The decision also highlighted the judiciary's role in supervising executive conduct in criminal prosecutions.The Trump administration has suspended the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program—commonly known as the green card lottery—following two high-profile campus attacks. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the move, stating that the suspect in the fatal shootings of a Brown University student and an MIT professor had entered the U.S. through the program. The shooter, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese national and former Brown student, was found dead in an apparent suicide. Noem said the pause is necessary to prevent further harm from what she called a “disastrous program.”The lottery program, which grants up to 50,000 green cards annually, has long been a target of Trump's immigration agenda, which links violent incidents to immigration policy failures. This suspension follows earlier actions by the administration, including visa restrictions after a separate shooting by an Afghan national and a proposal to impose a $100,000 application fee for H-1B work visas, which are heavily used in the tech industry.Trump's broader immigration crackdown also includes enhanced social media vetting for tourists, expanded ICE operations in major cities, and the development of large-scale immigration detention centers known as “mega centers.” These moves align with Trump's campaign promises to tighten border controls and execute large-scale deportations.Trump Suspends US Green Card Lottery After Brown, MIT AttacksTrump administration officials are scrambling to meet a Friday deadline to release a large cache of documents related to the Justice Department's investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. The release was mandated by a recently passed law, supported by both parties in Congress, following months of political pressure and public frustration over the administration's resistance to transparency. Though President Trump initially opposed the legislation, he reversed course shortly before the vote amid growing dissent from his own supporters.The new law permits the Justice Department to withhold certain details, including victims' identities and information tied to ongoing investigations. Attorneys in the department's National Security Division have been racing to redact sensitive data, raising internal concerns about the risk of mistakes, especially regarding private information. The tight timeline has disrupted other DOJ casework since Thanksgiving.Trump's handling of the Epstein matter has dented his support among Republicans, with only 44% approving of his actions, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. This contrasts sharply with his broader 82% approval within the party. Critics argue that Trump's past friendship with Epstein and his failure to follow through on a 2024 campaign promise to declassify the records have fueled suspicions of a cover-up. While Trump has denied knowledge of Epstein's crimes and has not been accused of wrongdoing, past email disclosures have added to the controversy.As more emails emerge—some implying Trump's involvement, others suggesting no direct misconduct—the administration has tried to redirect attention toward figures like Bill Clinton and JPMorgan. But with midterms approaching, the Epstein file release may remain a political liability.Trump administration officials race to meet Friday deadline for Epstein files | ReutersWisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of obstructing a federal proceeding for aiding a migrant in avoiding an immigration arrest at the courthouse, marking a significant legal win for the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement efforts. The jury acquitted Dugan on a lesser charge of concealing a person from arrest but convicted her on the more serious obstruction count. The case is part of a broader Justice Department campaign targeting local officials accused of interfering with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.Prosecutors alleged that in 2023, Dugan helped Mexican national Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who faced domestic violence charges, avoid a planned ICE arrest by rerouting him and his lawyer through a restricted exit after confronting ICE agents stationed near her courtroom. Dugan, a former head of Catholic Charities and longtime legal aid attorney, argued she was following internal court policies meant to manage ICE activity in courthouses, especially after prior arrests caused confusion and concern.Flores-Ruiz was ultimately arrested outside the courthouse after a brief chase. The Justice Department framed the case as a message that even judges are not above the law when it comes to obstructing federal immigration enforcement. Critics, however, view courthouse arrests as damaging to the legal system's integrity, potentially deterring vulnerable individuals from seeking legal protection.Judge found guilty of obstructing arrest in Trump immigration crackdown | ReutersIn a piece I wrote for Forbes earlier this week, I take down yet another One Big Beautiful Bill Act tax “reform” that, upon closer examination, isn't as great a deal as it may first seem.Starting in 2025, a new federal tax deduction allows taxpayers to deduct up to $10,000 in interest on qualifying new car loans—but only under strict conditions. The car must be newly purchased (not leased or used), assembled in the U.S., and not used for business purposes. The deduction phases out for individuals earning over $100,000 and joint filers over $200,000, narrowing its reach to a slim demographic of middle- to upper-middle-income earners. While promoted as consumer relief amid high car prices and interest rates, critics argue it's a veiled subsidy for automakers, not a meaningful economic benefit for struggling Americans.The policy resembles the mortgage interest deduction, which has long been criticized for inflating home prices and disproportionately benefiting wealthier borrowers. Similarly, this car loan deduction doesn't lower car costs—it subsidizes borrowing, pushing consumers toward pricier new vehicles and encouraging debt accumulation. The IRS will also gain new data from lenders, who must now report annual interest paid, further expanding government oversight.Despite the flashy $10,000 cap, few borrowers will come close to that threshold. A typical new car loan might yield only a $600 annual tax benefit—negligible compared to high monthly payments and rapid depreciation. Rather than meaningful relief, the policy appears to be more of a political gesture, using tax code tweaks to create the illusion of support while primarily serving industry interests.‘No Tax On Car Loan Interest'—Tax Reform Or Facade?This week's closing theme is by Louis-Nicolas Clérambault.This week's closing theme comes from Clérambault, a French Baroque composer born on December 19, 1676, whose music captures the elegance and structure of early 18th-century Paris. Clérambault is best known today for his sacred cantatas and his refined works for keyboard and chamber ensemble. He spent much of his career as an organist, serving at prominent Paris churches and developing a style that balanced expressive melody with formal clarity. His music reflects the French taste for ornamentation while remaining grounded and disciplined.The piece featured here is Suite du premier ton: V. Basse et Dessus de Trompette, presented in a complete performance. This movement highlights the contrast between a strong bass line and a bright, trumpet-like upper voice, a hallmark of French Baroque color and texture. Rather than showcasing virtuosity for its own sake, the music emphasizes balance and conversation between parts. The result is confident and ceremonial, yet never overstated.As a closing theme, this work offers a sense of order and resolution, bringing the week to a measured and dignified close. Clérambault's writing reminds us that Baroque music was as much about structure and purpose as it was about beauty. His music endures because it is clear, expressive, and carefully crafted. Ending the week with this piece is a quiet nod to tradition, discipline, and lasting musical craft.Without further ado, Louis-Nicolas Clérambault's Suite du premier ton: V. Basse et Dessus de Trompette–enjoy! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Party officials claim they don't want to divide people, especially since Democrats are winning elections nationwide.

Dating as a Catholic—especially in college—can feel overwhelming, confusing, and high-pressure. Between time constraints, expectations, fear of temptation, and the desire to “do it right,” many people end up stuck or avoiding dating altogether.In this episode of the Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt and Erin coach through real survey responses from Catholic college students who shared their biggest struggles with dating. Using a mindset-coaching lens, they unpack the thoughts and beliefs that quietly block freedom, clarity, and authentic connection.Topics include: • Time management and the belief that relationships are “too much work” • Unrealistic expectations of holiness and “being on fire for God” • Disappointment, rejection, and hearing “I'm not ready for a relationship” • Fear of temptation, lust, and avoiding dating altogether • How unspoken rules and internal manuals create pressure and anxietyMatt and Erin explore how to approach dating not as a problem to solve or a finish line to reach—but as an opportunity for formation and encounter. They also discuss how processing emotions, clarifying expectations, and surrendering control can lead to healthier, more virtuous relationships.This episode is especially helpful for Catholic college students, young adults, and anyone preparing for SEEK or navigating dating with faith and intention.
The Santa Clarita Sheriff's Department Motor Squad is out doing enforcement at our major intersections, including Newhall Ranch Road and Bouquet Canyon. As a retired LAPD Motor Officer who issued over 16,000 citations in my career, I am breaking down exactly what they are looking for in this video.We cover the most common violations I see every day:The "California Roll." You must cease all forward motion behind the limit line before making a right on red. If you don't stop, it is a violation."Free Inhabitants." I address the drivers who refuse to show identification claiming they have a "right to travel" without a license. That does not work in California.Gridlock. Blocking the box because you entered the intersection without room to clear it is a major issue here. It backs up traffic for everyone.Watch the full breakdown to see if you would have passed the test: https://youtube.com/shorts/H3iulP7d1Qk?feature=shareFor more Santa Clarita real estate and community updates, follow @ConnorWithHonor.Hashtags: #SantaClarita #SCV #MotorCop #TrafficSafety #LASD #TicketWhisperer #ConnorWithHonor #SantaClaritaRealEstate #TrafficLaws #DashcamYoutube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1219: Carvana adds another CDJR store as its retail expansion heats up. Mexico hits Chinese auto imports with a crushing 50% tariff. And Tesla tests its first fully driverless vehicle on the streets of Austin — no humans required.Carvana's push into franchised retail continues as it acquires South Atlanta CDJR‑Fiat, marking its fourth traditional dealership buy of 2025. Once known for vending machines and used cars, Carvana is rapidly becoming a notable player in new‑car retail.The store, now Carvana CDJR of South Atlanta, sits in Union City, GA, just outside Atlanta.It was acquired from Houston‑based ZT Corporate, a group ranked 132nd among U.S. dealership organizations.The aggressive expansion comes on the heels of a Q3 record: $5.6B in revenue, up 55%, and 155,941 used units sold—a 44% increase YoY.Carvana has said it's “always experimenting” and views select dealership acquisitions as tests to learn how to “provide great customer experiences” in a franchise setting.Mexico is drawing a bold line in the sand, approving sweeping new tariffs with some aimed squarely at imported Chinese cars.Chinese vehicles will now face a 50% import tariff, the highest among 1,400 affected products.The policy is seen as a direct defense against a surge of low-cost Chinese EVs and ICE vehicles entering Latin America.Mexico's auto industry has voiced support, fearing China's growing presence could erode market share and local jobs.Beijing slammed the move as “protectionist” and warned of possible retaliation.The future Elon Musk promised is officially rolling through Austin — driverless, empty, and already controversial. Tesla has begun testing its Robotaxi platform without a human behind the wheel or even a safety monitor in the car, marking its most aggressive autonomy move yet.The sighting appears to involve a Model Y testbed rigged for Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi platform.Elon Musk confirmed: “Testing is underway with no occupant in the car.”This marks the first known on-road test without a safety driver or passenger.According to NHTSA filings, Tesla's Robotaxi tests in Austin have already logged a crash every ~62,000 miles — with safety monitors still inside.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

It's Friday, December 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Canadian pastor released from prison with gag order Canadian Pastor Derek Reimer has been released from prison in Calgary, Alberta on strict conditions as he is still serving his one-year house arrest and two-year probation for objecting to a Drag Queen Story Hour for little kids in a 90-second, peaceful conversation with Saddletowne Library Manager Shannon Slater. Reimer is not allowed to use any form of social media. Plus, leftist government officials have actually restricted him from attending the Street Church in Calgary and The Remnant Church in Red Deer because his parole officer is scared he will “rally up the mob.” Pastor Artur Pawlawski of Street Church told The Worldview, “Pastor Reimer has been totally muzzled by the Canadian courts. He has been prohibited from talking with anyone including his family, his friends, churchgoers, or reporters. It's a total, Soviet-style gag order. If he talked to anyone about what is happening he will go straight back to prison.” Pawlawski knows first-hand about these kind of oppressive government tactics. He said, “I grew up behind the Iron Curtain. Communists muzzled the public. If you dared to expose them by telling the truth, they would do a show trial, imprison you, and torture you. “ Not surprisingly, the Canadian judge insisted that any Biblical objection to the sinful lifestyle of transgenders and homosexuals on the part of Pastor Reimer would qualify as “hate speech.” Calgary Pastor Shawn Hamm said, “The courts in Alberta are corrupt and they have been turned into a political circus! The judicial system can use ‘hurt feelings' in the province of Alberta to try to silence Christians on our biblical beliefs. They are doing their best to silence Pastor Derek, but they cannot silence all of us!” Hamm added, “The Drag Queen Story Hour that is happening all across Canada must be exposed for what it is -- pervert grooming sessions that are happening in public spaces!” Learn more and help with Pastor Reimer's legal defense at www.SavePastorDerek.com. Jeffress: “None of the government's business” what pastors preach On Wednesday, Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas had a message for a White House religious liberty panel. JEFFRESS: “What I preach from the pulpit of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, or any pastor preaches from his church is none of the government's business.” (clapping) In testimony before the U.S. Department of Justice's Religious Liberty Commission, Jeffress shared their experience with the Internal Revenue Service during a controversial church tax inquiry in 2021 under former President Joe Biden. Jeffress' statement to the Commission included comments he initially shared with his congregation on Sunday, in which he recounted how the atheist legal organization Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint with the IRS after former Vice President Mike Pence and then-HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson shared their faith testimonies of “how they came to know Jesus as Savior” at Jeffress' church in June 2020. Jeffress said, “It's interesting that we did not hear anything from the IRS for 11 months. Then, four months after Joe Biden became president, on May 6, 2021, the IRS informed our church that they were initiating an inquiry into the tax-exempt status of our church because of our patriotic service.” He added that he does not endorse candidates from the pulpit, but “we encourage Christians to vote their biblical conviction.” Ironically, on November 1, 2020, the same day he addressed his church about the presidential race, President Biden was speaking at the Sharon Baptist Church in Philadelphia, where the former president and the church's pastor “openly encouraged members to vote for Biden while both men were standing in front of a campaign banner in the church.” Jeffress noted, “When we pointed out the contrast to the IRS between our non-endorsement policy and this church's flagrant disregard for the Johnson Amendment, the IRS officials conducting the examination had no response.” While the inquiry lasted more than a year, the IRS eventually acknowledged in July 2022 that First Baptist Dallas “did not engage in any improper political intervention or violate the U.S. tax code.” Despite the favorable outcome, Jeffress said he wanted to testify before the Commission because while First Baptist Dallas could afford the legal fees, most churches could not — nor, he said, should they have to do so. Elon Musk affirms belief in Creator On The Katie Miller Podcast, billionaire Elon Musk revealed that he looks up to the Creator at the 12:37-mark of a nearly hour-long conversation, reports The Christian Post. MILLER: “Who do you look up to the most?” MUSK: “The Creator.” MILLER: “What's your current position on God?” MUSK: “God is the Creator.” MILLER: “You don't believe in God, though, do you?” MUSK: “Well, I believe those this universe came for something. People have different labels.” The comments from the Tesla and SpaceX founder are the latest in his publicly evolving views on God and faith. In response to a tweet from a user on X urging him to confess a Creator in May 2022, Musk wrote: "Thank you for the blessing, but I'm OK with going to hell, if that is indeed my destination, since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there." Describing the reality of hell, Jesus said to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'" (Matthew 25:41) Subsequently, in 2025, Musk urged his millions of X followers to go to church following the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th. He also attended Kirk's memorial in Glendale, Arizona on September 21st. 17 pro-lifers arrested for blocking Memphis Planned Parenthood abortion mill And finally, ten men and seven women spent a night in a Memphis jail on December 5th, after staging a peaceful protest in front of the Memphis, Tennessee Planned Parenthood abortion mill, reports LifeSiteNews.com. The protest was organized by “Rescue Resurrection,” a pro-life group planning “rescue” actions across the country. Those arrested included well-known figures in the pro-life movement: Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue; Joan Andrews Bell, a longtime pro-life advocate; Terrisa Bukovinac, director of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising; Nathan Berning, director of Let Them Live; and Dr. Monica Miller of Citizens for Life, among others. Exhausted from spending a sleepless night in an over-crowded holding cell with no beds, Randall Terry said that “this is a very small price to pay to stand up for the babies.” Video footage of the arrests captured by journalist Ford Fischer shows Terry, Bell, and other pro-life protesters being dragged away by police, because they went limp, before being transported to jail. And there is video of Joan Andrews Bell, a sernior citizen, being carried away by three Memphis Police Officers. Bell was pardoned by President Trump after being sentenced to two years in prison for a prior abortion clinic blockade for which she was prosecuted under President Biden. No doubt they were inspired by Proverbs 24:11 which says, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, December 12th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

In this message, we dive into the difference between a self-centered Christmas and a Christ-centered Christmas. Culture tells us to elevate ME, but Jesus calls us to humble ourselves, serve others, and “take a seat.” Through Scripture and the powerful example of Christ, we confront pride, self-promotion, selfishness, division, and the attitudes that break unity. We explore what true humility looks like—emptying ourselves, choosing to serve, and walking in harmony with one another. This Christmas season, let's silence the self, take our seat, and lift up Jesus and each other. ❤️

Transitioning a mature organization from an API-first model to an AI-first model is no small feat. In this episode, Yash Kosaraju, CISO of Sendbird, shares the story of how they pivoted from a traditional chat API platform to an AI agent platform and how security had to evolve to keep up.Yash spoke about the industry's obsession with "Zero Trust," arguing instead for a practical "Multi-Layer Trust" approach that assumes controls will fail . We dive deep into the specific architecture of securing AI agents, including the concept of a "Trust OS," dealing with new incident response definitions (is a wrong AI answer an incident?), and the critical need to secure the bridge between AI agents and customer environments .This episode is packed with actionable advice for AppSec engineers feeling overwhelmed by the speed of AI. Yash shares how his team embeds security engineers into sprint teams for real-time feedback, the importance of "AI CTFs" for security awareness, and why enabling employees with enterprise-grade AI tools is better than blocking them entirely .Questions asked:Guest Socials - Yash's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Security PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:20) Who is Yash Kosaraju?

Welcome to Day 8 of our Peace on Earth Advent series! Today's Gospel brings us John the Baptist, crying out in the wilderness with a message that is as urgent today as it was 2,000 years ago:
2025-12-06 | DAILY UPDATES #072 | We continue our analysis of the National Security Strategy of the Trump regime, a document that claims to defend the West, by turning its guns on Europe. It's a malign document, that fleshes out Vance's speech at the 2025 Munich Security Forum. In that speech, Vance argued that Europe's principal danger came from erosion of democratic norms — especially censorship, suppression of dissent, and exclusion, widely interpreted as an attack on the structure of the European Union and its institutions. This NSS goes further and effectively declares that Europe's systems of governance are antithetical to America's interests. It's a mandate for malign interference, leans in to overtly support the far right and extremist groups, libertarian absolutists, oligarchical interests and is a mandate for regime change. ----------SOURCES: National Security Strategy of the United States of America, White House, December 2025 (PDF).https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/NSS-2025.pdfMichelle L.

In warehousing and operations, none of us begin our shifts planning to create risk or endanger someone. Most of us show up, jump on the forklift, our rider pallet jacks, or another piece of powered industrial equipment, to put away pallets, run freight across the dock, build loads, and try to hit our numbers. We hear the safety rules during orientation, we sign the training sheets, we watch the videos. And then we get comfortable. We convince ourselves that “just this once,” or “just for a few minutes” won't hurt anything. Until it does. I'm Marty and today here at Warehouse and Operations as a Career I want to talk about a real scenario. A young forklift operator lost her job because she placed a stack of pallets in front of an egress doorway. She felt wronged. Her reasoning? It was only going to be there for a few minutes. I was going to move a few things around and would have come right back. She had been trained not to block doorways, exits, electrical panels, and fire extinguishers. She understood it in theory. But she didn't understand why the rule was there. And that is the key difference between training and comprehension. Between compliance and belief. Between I heard you say it and I understand why doing it matters. In our industry, the difference between those two mindsets determines careers, safety, and sometimes even lives. Let's begin with something easy to understand. Warehouse safety regulations exist because someone, somewhere, died or was severely injured before they were written. No safety standard, especially those around emergency exits, came from a textbook. They came from tragedy. Blocking egress routes, doorways, exit paths, hallways, or marked access points, has been a contributing factor in warehouse fatalities, factory fires, mass casualty incidents, and evacuation failures. In high-risk environments, you cannot predict when the emergency will come. You only know that if it does, people must be able to get out. When OSHA, the fire marshal, or an insurance company says Do not block exits, they aren't being bureaucratic. They're telling us history has proven that someone WILL eventually need that doorway in a moment they did not expect. Let's take our forklift operator. She put those pallets there temporarily. In her mind, temporarily meant harmless. But here is the reality, Emergencies don't wait until you've moved your pallets. Fires don't pause. Workers don't stop breathing because you need three more minutes to finish your task. Someone having a panic attack or a medical emergency doesn't get to choose a different exit. And in the worst case, a forklift battery explosion, a flash fire, a pallet collapse, well, seconds are going to matter. Imagine this, A fire starts thirty feet away. A worker runs to the nearest exit, the same one blocked by her pallets, and they cannot push through. That delay, one or two seconds, might be the difference between smoke inhalation and survival. Suddenly just a few minutes isn't a harmless mistake. It's life-changing. One of the hardest lessons I've watched workers go through is the realization that danger never announces itself. We forklift operators spend hundreds of hours moving pallets around. We get comfortable. We get to moving fast. We develop their rhythms and our shortcuts. And shortcuts are where careers end. I heard once that a shortcut is a decision built on the belief that risk is low, but made without proof. There is no risk assessment. There is no redundancy. There is only the operator's personal confidence. But confidence is not the same as being right. Blocking an exit, stacking pallets where they shouldn't be, driving faster because no one is looking, those aren't skill-based decisions. They're complacency-based decisions. And like we learned about 6 weeks ago with episode #337 titled The Cost of Comfort and Complacency is that complacency ends careers. Companies don't train us because they are trying to check a box. Not in warehousing. Not in distribution. Not in our light industrial environments where 11,000-pound lift trucks are working around humans every minute. When you go through PIT training, when you sign the safety sheets, when the manager says Do not block emergency exits, that is a contract. The company is investing in our safety. The company is protecting the other employees. The company is following regulations. And by acknowledging that training, you are agreeing to follow those standards. One thing I remind new associates is, when you violate safety rules, you don't just break the rule, you break the trust that permitted you to operate equipment in the first place. That forklift is a privilege, not a right. A license to operate PIT equipment was earned. It is maintained and kept through our behavior. You can be the fastest replenisher on the night shift. You can be the best put-away driver in the building. If you block an exit, you have demonstrated to leadership that you value speed over safety. And no company will tolerate that. It's important for us to remember that warehouses are not just workplaces, they are regulated environments. OSHA standards are not guidelines. They are mandatory requirements. If a facility allows blocked exits, that facility can be fined, investigated, or shut down. If an employee is injured because an exit was blocked the company can be held liable, the manager, the supervisor, and we as the operator can be held liable. That's the uncomfortable truth. Our few minutes of pallets could cost a company millions of dollars, or cost someone their job, their home, or their career. In cases involving fatalities, people can go to prison. Not because they were malicious. Not because they wanted to hurt someone. But because the law recognizes that preventing access to emergency exits is negligent, reckless, and dangerous. Some people hear a story like this and say, she should have gotten a warning. They didn't have to fire her over that. But here's what we have to remember. She was trained not to do it. She acknowledged the training. She violated a life-critical rule. Someone saw it before she corrected it. Had an emergency occurred, lives could have been at risk. Companies cannot wait for the second violation when the first one clearly shows that the person is willing to gamble with safety. Imagine hiring a truck driver who decides they don't need to wear a seat belt because it slows them down getting in and out of the cab. Do you wait until they crash to discipline them? No, you remove the risk before the tragedy. Firing her wasn't punishment. It was prevention. And I get it, some young warehouse associates and PIT operators look at rules through a personal lens. Is this slowing me down?, Is this inconvenient?, Is anyone watching? It'll only be a minute. But supervisors, trainers, and safety managers think differently, and we need them thinking differently. Who will be harmed if this goes wrong? Will someone be able to escape? What risk does this create? What message does allowing this send to others? Safety is not about the present moment, it is about that worst-case moment. A forklift operator who blocks an exit is telling leadership, I understand the rule, but my time, my pallet, and my shortcut matter more than everyone's safety. That is not a person you can trust with equipment. I've seen many young operators get blindsided when decisions like this end their employment. They'll say, they didn't even give me a chance. I was just trying to work fast. I wasn't hurting anyone. I didn't think it was a big deal. But that last statement I didn't think it was a big deal is the reason they're let go. Safety programs are built on the assumption that associates understand the seriousness of the rules. Not that they can be persuaded to obey them. Companies cannot risk people who don't think blocking exits is a big deal. And they cannot gamble that a worst-case scenario won't happen. That forklift operator may feel wronged, but she was fired for the same reason someone would be fired for driving a forklift while lifting someone on a pallet, operating equipment without a harness at height, Removing the guard on a machine, smoking near propane tanks or ignoring lockout/tagout procedures. Each one of those behaviors is a small decision with catastrophic potential. Companies must act before catastrophe, not after. You've heard me say it before and I'll say it again. Warehouse and light industrial work isn't about simply getting the doors opened and closed for our shift. It's about doing it the right way. There are rules that are flexible, like whether a pallet is stowed in location A or location B. But safety rules are not up for negotiation. No horseplay. No racing forklifts. No blocking egress routes. No disabling horns or alarms. No driving with obstructed visibility. And no storing pallets against fire extinguishers. These aren't annoyances. They're the foundation of professionalism and a culture of safety. The best operators in the industry understand this. They know that anyone can make numbers. The people who build careers are the ones who make numbers and keep everyone safe while doing it. I'm sure we have all learned that rules exist because someone didn't follow them once. Standards exist because someone paid the price. As an operator we see pallets and a doorway. Leaders see risk, liability, and potential tragedy. When we block an exit, even for two minutes, we are gambling with lives you will never meet, for reasons that will never matter in hindsight. Warehouse safety isn't about intent. It's about consequences. And when the consequence could be someone not getting out in time, there is no such thing as only for a few minutes. I know that sounds harsh but it's factual. We've been trained, and accepted the position, and it's on us to be accountable right? People losing their position is always a tough subject. I've been told by many that it's a good thing sometimes. I hope that both parties learn from it. Anyway, there's a few of my thoughts on the subject! Until next week, Lets focus on being professional, being productive, and above all, being safe both at home and at work.

We'll cover how chronic stress hijacks your entire hormone network, what cortisol dysregulation actually looks like in your daily life, and the exact levers you need to stabilize before your hormone therapy can finally work. You'll learn what to track for two weeks, which lifestyle changes actually move the needle, and what tests to request when your doctor says your labs are fine but your body disagrees. If you've been told to just increase your dose or that your symptoms are "probably stress," this gives you a better framework. The problem isn't that you need more hormones, it's that your system can't use what you're already taking. Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E?

(00:00-10:35) Another segment with JR taking two parters from the audience. JeffCo weathered the snow storm. There's a few fans JR would like to fire. Blocking people on Twitter. Does Jackson have the power to fire people? Is Binnington really on the trade block? Who is the most likely player on the Blues to be moved over the next couple months? MJ's sense of fashion.(10:44-31:21) Why'd you request Young Jeezy, Doug? The Blues apathy has turned into anger. A moment of clarity with Martin. Jackson is malleable and coachable but he's a beaten man. 7th grade NIL at St. Gabriel's. A DoorDash driver is catching heat for dropping chicken on the concrete and shoving it back in the box. Doug doesn't trust people to deliver him food. Chairman has a spicy tongue. TMA Hot Ones. Another friend of the show, Jeff Abeln is on the phone lines with a Design Aire shoutout. The helpful Anthony.(31:30-46:16) Chicken wings and fries, we don't go on dates. Chris Klieman has retired as coach of Kansas State. Collin Klein taking over. Curt with a C is on the line and he has a bone to pick with CBC coverage. Is Doug getting kick backs? This might be the best call we've ever had.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

NDP Leadership hopeful Yves Engler gives an update on his campaign, and discusses the implications of his recent criminal trial in Montreal.The arguments laid out by the Crown in his case, if successful, will reverberate throughout movements, particularly those who encourage followers to inundate state officials with emails. A guilty verdict also holds the potential to provide police officers with a level of anonymity that would make holding them accountable even more difficult.While defending himself against these charges, Yves' is also in the middle of a heated contention for nomination. Its been almost a month since he's submitted his vetting papers to an expectant committee, but no decision has been made. However, he does describe a string of incidents that may serve as writing on the wall.Hear what he thinks his chances are at being found not-guilty, and of passing the NDP vetting test...Hosted by: Jessa McLeanRelated Episodes: Yves Engler: Next Leader of the NDP?

We explore why change so often stalls and how to build habits that stick by focusing on identity, setting specific targets, and choosing training over trying. Practical stories and examples show how discipline bridges the gap between motivation and success.• defining change through who we want to become• why behavior-only focus backfires• turning identity into small daily actions• setting measurable goals with clear targets• maps, GPS and finish line analogies• the trap of “try” versus the power of training• discipline as the bridge from motivation to success• real-world examples of consistency and grit• recap and a challenge to apply the frameworkhttps://aarondegler.com/
You think you're being nice. Accommodating. A good partner. But here's the truth: people-pleasing is killing your relationship. Every time you don't speak up because you're afraid of conflict, you're building distance. Every time you sacrifice and keep a mental scorecard, you're choosing resentment over love. Distance is not love. In this episode, Tracy gets raw about what really blocks intimacy—and it's not your partner's annoying habits. It's your refusal to own your feelings, speak your truth, and stop expecting the other person to make everything perfect. Using a real example from her own marriage (spoiler: it's about morning routines and walking the dogs), Tracy breaks down why speaking up isn't about changing your partner—it's about valuing yourself. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why people-pleasing is manipulation, not love * How to speak your truth without expecting your partner to change * The difference between accommodation and sacrifice * Why you need to stop punishing yourself (and your partner) * How to accept that you can disagree and still be together "If you expect the other person to take care of you emotionally, you're going to be [upset] all the time. I don't feel like living that way." ~ Tracy Crossley

Government Shutdown Context The shutdown lasted over 40 days, beginning October 1 and ending after a Senate vote (60–40) and subsequent House approval. A stopgap funding measure was passed to keep the government operating until January 30, while negotiations for a long-term appropriations bill continue. Political Narrative Democrats are responsible for the shutdown, accusing them of: Blocking votes to fund programs like SNAP (food stamps). Intentionally prolonging the shutdown to harm Americans and blame Trump. Republicans are portrayed as consistently voting for “clean” funding extensions. Impact of Shutdown Economic and social harm cited: Missed paychecks for over 1 million federal workers. 20,000 flight cancellations/delays due to air traffic controller shortages. Disruption of SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans. Financial strain on contractors and small businesses. President Trump’s Remarks Trump’s speech during the signing of the bill includes: Accusations of Democratic “extortion” and prioritizing illegal immigrants. Calls to terminate the filibuster to prevent future shutdowns. Celebration of economic achievements: record stock market highs, lower gas prices, and tax cuts. Criticism of Obamacare, proposing direct payments to citizens for healthcare instead of insurance companies. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
