In Episode 85 of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost opens with President Trump's Air Force One gaggle, breaking down remarks on Iran negotiations, DHS funding, voter ID, and the ongoing shutdown battle. From there, the focus shifts to the second round of U.S.–Iran talks in Geneva, military buildup in the Middle East, and Tehran's response, including naval drills in the Strait of Hormuz. Ghost examines media framing around anti-regime protests in Iran, questions the nuclear narrative, and highlights statements from Iranian officials regarding verification and enrichment. He connects this to reports on Mossad intelligence operations inside Iran and China's interpretation of modern hybrid warfare. The episode also explores Pentagon personnel shakeups, DHS communications turmoil, and what Ghost describes as narrative manipulation within both mainstream and alternative media spaces. He critiques sensational claims surrounding the Epstein files and warns against distraction tactics that derail focus from larger geopolitical realities. Closing on the evolving “Board of Peace,” Gaza stabilization efforts, and shifting alliances, Ep. 85 challenges viewers to prioritize discernment over spectacle in a rapidly escalating global environment.

Evan and Tiki dig into the archives to fact-check Steve Cohen: Has the Mets owner always been against naming a team captain, or did the locker room issues force his hand? The guys debate the "bastardization" of the captaincy in MLB, leading to a heated argument about John Franco's tenure wearing the "C." Later, they decode Cohen's "good boy" comments regarding a potential MLB salary cap and why Evan is convinced the owner is just playing nice with the league. Plus, a look at the available free-agent quarterbacks for the Jets—is Derek Carr the stabilizer they need?—and Evan prepares to pressure Carlos Mendoza on batting Juan Soto leadoff.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The US and Iran are set to hold indirect talks in Geneva today, with little indication of potential compromise as the United States continues its economic sanctions and ramps up its military presence in the Middle East while Iran holds large-scale maritime exercises. We hear what may be on the table as US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner hold negotiations with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Israel plans to afford Hamas a 60-day period to disarm, and if it does not, the Israeli military will go back to war in the Gaza Strip, according to Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs on Monday. How does this align with the inaugural session of US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, which is set for this Thursday? We learn which countries may be joining and what is hoped to be accomplished. And finally, last Thursday, US President Donald Trump said that President Isaac Herzog “should be ashamed of himself” for not granting a pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is standing trial for alleged fraud, bribery and breach of trust. Why were these remarks made out of the blue -- and do they actually help the Prime Minister? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

February 14, 1905. A stick of dynamite detonates under the Hudson River — and the ground above swallows a locomotive whole. It's the latest setback in an audacious plan to tunnel beneath the river and bring trains into Manhattan. The Pennsylvania Railroad is the largest corporation in the world, but the goopy riverbed keeps fighting back. How did they finally make it across? And why are these 115-year-old tunnels still the most critical infrastructure in America today?

Board-certified pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Why doctors must stop waiting and reclaim their lives." Jessie explains how medical training conditions doctors to view endurance as a virtue and delay their own basic needs for the sake of the profession. She argues that the health care system exploits this willingness to wait, using physician silence to maintain the status quo. The conversation highlights the heavy personal cost of this resignation, from eroded relationships to lost joy. Jessie shares her own terrifying yet clarifying experience of leaving a job after eighteen years to choose alignment over approval.

I got so much feedback from the last episode about boards that we're going there again.Here's the hot take:Your board isn't avoiding fundraising. They're avoiding embarrassment.They're protecting their reputation. Their relationships. Their social capital.And honestly? I get it.As an executive director, I remember thinking: “I'm out here writing grants and running events. Can you just call your friends?”But what I've learned—both as a former ED and a board member—is that this isn't a motivation problem.It's a safety problem.Most board members:Don't want to burn trust with friendsDon't want to look foolishDon't want to feel transactionalDon't want to ambush anyone with an askWhen fundraising feels risky, vague, or transactional, they shut down.So here's the reframe:Staff executes. Board de-risks.Board members aren't there to run your strategy. They're there to lend trust.They don't need more courage. They need guardrails.If the role is vague, it becomes optional.If your board isn't engaged, don't guilt them. Design for safety.When people feel safe, they show up.Important Links:Book a Call: ⁠https://connect.rheawong.com/⁠How to Train ChatGPT: ⁠ ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/annual-fundraising-plan-tracker1-3127-4300⁠⁠ My Big Ask Gifts Program:⁠ ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program⁠⁠ My Book, Get That Money Honey:⁠ ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey⁠⁠ My Newsletter:⁠ ⁠https://www.rheawong.com/⁠⁠

Trump blijft Zelensky onder druk zetten | Rubio oogst applaus | En prijst Orbán Trump zet Oekraïne onder druk voor een staakt-het-vuren en ingrijpende concessies in de Donbas, terwijl Rusland militair vastloopt en de eigen economie verder wegzakt. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk duiden hoe Washington veiligheidsgaranties koppelt aan territoriale concessies, en waarom dit volgens hen de omgekeerde wereld is. Ze schetsen tegelijk hoe Rusland met torenhoge verliezen kleine terreinwinst boekt, kampt met oplopende schulden en inflatie, en wanhopig zoekt naar een alternatief voor Starlink. Europa profileert zich in München nadrukkelijker tegenover het MAGA-kamp, maar blijft afwezig aan de onderhandelingstafel over Oekraïne. Rob en Arend Jan bespreken hoe Europese leiders steun aan Oekraïne beloven, botsen met Viktor Orbán en zijn Hongarije, en worstelen met de export van het MAGA-gedachtegoed. Ze laten zien hoe Canada zich militair-industrieel losmaakt van de VS en hoe de spanningen rond Gaza, de Board of Peace en Trump’s bemoeienis met Netanjahu’s corruptiezaak de breuklijnen in de westerse alliantie verder verdiepen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nella gestione separata, solo il 10% dei collaboratori matura un anno pieno di contributi; per il 2026 il minimale è fissato a 18.808 euro.Executive Takeaway (Insight per C-suite) * Maturità dell'AI: Il mercato del Venture Capital segnala che l'AI non è più una scommessa ma il driver principale degli investimenti (50% dei flussi globali), con un impatto immediato sulla produttività USA stimato in +0,5%. * Rischio Geopolitico Finanziario: L'egemonia del dollaro viene utilizzata come "pena di morte finanziaria" (sanzioni Trump contro giudici dell'Aia), accelerando i piani BCE per l'euro digitale e un mercato unico dei capitali per trattenere i 300 miliardi di euro di risparmi che oggi migrano verso gli USA. * Dualismo Demografico del Lavoro: Il mercato del lavoro italiano è spaccato: crescita record per gli Over 50 (effetto rinvio pensioni) e marginalizzazione degli Under 24, la cui occupazione è minacciata sia dal declino demografico che dalla sostituzione tecnologica dell'IA. * Sostenibilità vs Competitività: La revisione del sistema ETS e il "decreto bollette" sono i banchi di prova per l'industria italiana. La sfida è evitare che la decarbonizzazione si traduca in delocalizzazione per i settori energivori. * Previdenza Integrativa Critica: Con un tasso di sostituzione pensionistica che scenderà al 64,8% nel 2060 (rispetto all'81,5% attuale), la consulenza finanziaria deve evolvere da pura gestione di portafoglio a pianificazione previdenziale di lungo periodo per coprire il gap lasciato dallo Stato.

A thoughtful and educational conversation with Dr. Nab explores tremors, brain health, and the powerful connection between the gut and the nervous system. The discussion reframes symptoms as meaningful signals rather than issues to ignore, unpacking different types of tremors and potential root causes such as nutrient deficiencies, toxins, stress, and gut imbalances. With a functional medicine lens, the episode highlights the importance of early awareness, foundational lifestyle habits, and proactive brain care—showing how small, informed changes can support long-term neurological health and overall vitality.  Key Takeaways:   Symptoms like tremors are signals from the body, inviting us to look deeper rather than accept them as inevitable.  Brain health is closely tied to gut integrity, nutrient status, and the body's ability to manage toxins.  Foundational habits—movement, hydration, and whole foods—play a critical role in protecting cognitive health.  Stress and nervous system overload can amplify underlying imbalances over time.  Proactive testing and early awareness help put the odds in favor of long-term brain resilience and vitality.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas. From 2012 through 2017, she joined a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin to provide chiropractic care, nutritional counseling, and educational training to the employees at the company's corporate headquarters. While there, she authored her book called 1 Degree of Change, in addition to numerous other publications.   In 2015, she graduated with her Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree. She is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Western States for their masters program. Dr. Nab is a Certified Nutrition Specialist from the Board for Nutrition Specialist and works with Affiliated Monitors, an independent monitoring company for professionals.  Connect with Dr. Georgia Nab at:  https://www.authenticdoc.life/   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

In this conversation, Sandra Magsamen discusses her approach to creating children's literature that emphasizes connection, love, and emotional intelligence. She shares insights into her creative process, the importance of feedback from readers, and how her work aims to foster self-love and connection between caregivers and children. Magsamen also reflects on her artistic journey, the role of perseverance, and the significance of storytelling in shaping lives. Takeaways Connection is at the heart of children's literature. Love is an action that caregivers can demonstrate. Books can provide comfort and emotional support to children. Feedback from readers is validating and inspires future work. Objects like books and blankets can hold deep emotional significance. Stories can change lives and shape worldviews. Curiosity fuels creativity and artistic expression. Perseverance is essential in the creative process. Every project is an opportunity to connect hearts. The act of reading together fosters intimacy and connection.   Chapters 00:00 The Heart of Connection in Children's Literature 02:48 Love as an Action: The Role of Caregivers 05:34 Impactful Feedback: Stories from Readers 08:31 The Power of Objects and Books in Shaping Lives 11:06 Curiosity and Creativity: Fueling the Artistic Journey Learn more about our special guest: https://www.sandramagsamen.com/ Learn more with Jeff and Tricia https://www.shiftingschools.com/ Our show is produced by Sagheer M.

Il reddito reale delle famiglie italiane è aumentato dell'1,7% nel terzo trimestre 2025, a fronte di cali in Francia (-0,3%) e Regno Unito (-0,8%). * Export italiano: L'Italia si conferma il quarto esportatore mondiale, superando il Giappone. Tuttavia, pesano le carenze logistiche e la mancata partecipazione ai progetti infrastrutturali paneuropei come la strategia dei "Tre Mari". * Borsa e Utility: I titoli energetici hanno subito forti perdite a causa dei timori sul Decreto Bollette: Enel ha perso circa il 4,5% di capitalizzazione, A2A quasi il 6%. * Vigilanza Risparmio: La BCE propone una supervisione europea comune sui grandi gestori patrimoniali (10-15 operatori transfrontalieri), con l'affidamento all'Esma del coordinamento della vigilanza.Industria e AutomotiveTestate: Corriere della Sera, Il Sole 24 Ore * Competitività Energetica: Confindustria lancia l'allarme sui costi dell'energia che frenano gli investimenti delle multinazionali in Italia. * Settore Agricolo: Coldiretti contesta la possibile riduzione retroattiva dei prezzi minimi garantiti sulle bioenergie (biogas), definendoli strumenti indispensabili per la sostenibilità degli impianti. * Olimpiadi Milano-Cortina 2026: A metà evento sono stati venduti quasi 1,3 milioni di biglietti, con un'occupazione degli spalti superiore all'85%. Il target di ricavi dal ticketing è fissato oltre i 200 milioni di €.Fisco e NormativaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore, La Stampa * Concordato Fiscale 2026-2027: Il Governo lavora a nuovi incentivi per sedurre i 2,2 milioni di Partite IVA rimaste fuori dalla prima edizione. L'obiettivo è ampliare la fascia di reddito soggetta all'aliquota IRPEF del 33% fino a 60.000 € (attuale soglia 50.000 €). * Lotta all'Evasione: Nel 2024 il recupero ha superato il record di 31 miliardi di €. Resta però un tax gap stimato di 90 miliardi di €, IVA esclusa. * Rottamazione Quinquies: Fissata la scadenza del 30 aprile per aderire alla sanatoria delle cartelle relative al periodo 2000-2023. Si stima un incasso di 13 miliardi di € in dieci anni.Banche e CreditoTestate: Il Messaggero, La Stampa * Liquidità BCE: Mossa dell'Eurotower per rafforzare l'Euro fornendo liquidità a tutte le banche centrali per fronteggiare la volatilità dei mercati. * Extra-profitti: Il vice-premier Salvini torna a proporre l'uso di una parte degli utili bancari (stimati in 28 miliardi di € nel 2025) per ridurre le bollette di luce e gas.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate: Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, Il Messaggero * Decreto Energia: Atteso in CdM mercoledì 18 febbraio. Previsto un bonus una tantum di 90 € per le fasce fragili (stanziamento di 315 milioni di €). * Nodo ETS: Il Governo punta a sterilizzare l'impatto dei costi della CO2 (ETS) sul prezzo dell'energia, con un potenziale risparmio fino a 30 €/MWh, ma la misura rischia il veto di Bruxelles. * Relazioni USA-UE: La Premier Meloni conferma la partecipazione dell'Italia come osservatore al Board per Gaza alla Casa Bianca. Restano tensioni sulla cultura "MAGA" e sui possibili dazi americani.Sport Business & MediaTestate: Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica * Caos RAI Sport: Auro Bulbarelli sostituirà il direttore Paolo Petrecca per la telecronaca della cerimonia di chiusura delle Olimpiadi (22 febbraio) dopo le gaffe dell'inaugurazione. * Gestione Rai: Faro del CdA sulle spese di RaiSport, con collaborazioni esterne salite da 1,7 a 2,3 milioni di € nel 2025.Lavoro, Formazione e SanitàTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore, La Stampa * Riforma Istituti Tecnici: Al via da settembre 2026 i nuovi moduli basati sul PNRR, con focus su economia e tecnologia-ambiente.

In Italia circa 6 milioni di persone hanno rinunciato a curarsi per i tempi lunghi.Executive Takeaway (Insight C-Suite) * Resilienza Italiana: L'Italia guida la crescita reale del G7 post-inflazione (+7,5% potere d'acquisto pro capite dal 2022), unico Paese con surplus primario, ma la crescita è legata all'aumento record dell'occupazione piuttosto che alla produttività di sistema. * Rischio Regolatorio Energetico: Il tentativo di modificare unilateralmente il meccanismo ETS per abbassare i prezzi elettrici (-30 €/MWh) crea instabilità per gli investitori "green" (85 miliardi previsti nel triennio) e apre un conflitto normativo con la Commissione UE. * Referendum Giustizia (22-23 marzo): La separazione delle carriere è percepita dal mercato come un fattore di velocizzazione della giustizia, ma l'incertezza sull'esito (testa a testa nei sondaggi) e la forte opposizione dell'ANM segnalano un possibile stallo delle riforme istituzionali. * Autonomia Strategica UE: La transizione verso l'autonomia produttiva (es. semiconduttori e lanci spaziali) è ritenuta urgente per mitigare la volatilità geopolitica, ma comporta costi operativi elevati nel breve periodo che potrebbero erodere la competitività delle manifatture. * Digitalizzazione Fiscale: L'Agenzia delle Entrate punta sull'interoperabilità di 200 banche dati e IA per superare il record di recupero evasione, offrendo alle imprese "stabilità per due anni" tramite il concordato biennale.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.The Goldman Sachs Alternatives Summit “convened leaders across finance, geopolitics, technology, and culture” to discuss themes driving global markets.2025's Alternatives Summit was about “navigating a world in flux,” as the firm's recap of its event noted. The event aimed to help investors cut through the noise and put together the pieces of the puzzle in a dynamic and increasingly complex world. Alt Goes Mainstream joined the event to have unscripted conversations with Goldman Sachs Alternatives leaders to cut through the noise by unpacking key themes and trends at the intersection of private markets and private wealth.In this special series, we went behind the scenes and interviewed six Goldman Sachs Alternatives leaders about their current thinking on private markets and how the firm has built and evolved its private markets capabilities.This conversation was with Jeff Fine, Partner, Global Co-Head of Alternatives Capital Formation within Goldman Sachs Asset Management, with responsibility for capital raising, product strategy, research and investor relations across private equity, private credit, real assets, secondaries, GP stakes and hedge funds/liquid alternatives. Jeff is a member of the Real Estate Investment Committee and Urban Investment Group Investment Committee.

OA1235 - Today on Rapid Response Friday: Matt's still on island time, so it's a good-news-only kind of day as we review (1) the historic termination of deportation proceedings against Tufts grad student Rumeysa Ozturk, (2) new judicial restraints on ICE, (3) a DC federal judge's outstanding rebuke to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's attempt to deport 350,000 Haitians, and (4) a Republican revolt on Trump's emergency tariffs. (Also: just how stupid is the super-secret memo which ICE has apparently been using to justify breaking into some immigrants' homes without a judicial warrant?) Finally in today's footnote: Matt shares how his attempt to mail some pants from the U.S. Virgin Islands revealed a weird loophole in Trump's emergency tariff orders which is now forcing some U.S. citizens to pay international duties on domestic shipments.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOTucked away in Salem, the Salem Witch Board Museum houses the largest public collection of Ouija boards in the world — and the only museum dedicated entirely to their history. Curated and owned by John Kozik, the collection features roughly 100 talking boards on display at any given time, spanning decades of design, cultural shifts, and public fear.As a founding member of the Talking Board Historical Society, Kozik approaches the Ouija board not as a novelty or a menace, but as a cultural artifact. Many of the boards in the museum come from private collections or donations, each carrying its own story — not of demons or possession, but of how people have interacted with the unknown across generations.The Ouija board's reputation has long been shaped by Hollywood and rumor, casting it as a dangerous portal rather than a product of its time. But stripped down to its materials — wood, cardboard, ink, plastic — the question remains: where does the fear really come from? Is power embedded in the object itself, or does it come from belief, expectation, and human intention?For more information, visit their website at salemwitchboardmuseum.com.#TheGraveTalks #OuijaBoard #SalemWitchBoardMuseum #TalkingBoards #ParanormalHistory #HauntedObjects #OccultHistory #SalemMassachusetts #TrueParanormalLove real ghost stories?

Last October, the Trump administration announced a ceasefire deal in Gaza after two years of relentless carnage. Since the deal was announced, Israel has continued to occupy much of Gaza, and its forces have killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has launched his so-called Board of Peace to administer Gaza without any input from Palestinians. Having received a blank check for his scheme from the UN Security Council, Trump now presents the Board of Peace as an alternative to the UN itself. Yara Hawari joins Long Reads for an update on conditions in Gaza and the wider international context. Yara is the co-director of Al-Shabaka, the Palestinian Policy Network.
