A bombshell report reveals widespread fraud in the H-1B visa system, to the point that the entire labor market in many white-collar professions has been built upon fraud and corruption for a generation. But Trump and the GOP continue to fail us and refuse to pass a foreign worker moratorium in reconciliation. Instead of seizing the ultimate opportunity to tie immigration to the economy and boost domestic labor force participation, politicians are distracted by AI bailouts and Trump's special interests. We also dive deep into the current AI bubble — why tech giants are quietly backing away from generative AI code slop — and analyze the chaotic reality of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. From the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel to the heavy influence of Gulf state wealth, this is the comprehensive breakdown the establishment doesn't want you to hear. There is a needless schism on the Right over Israel, but the way I present the issue and the path forward today should harmonize all those who claim to want to put America First without supporting Islamists.

Equip Foods Protein (grass-fed beef isolate, no seed oils, third-party tested) Code: BENAZADI - https://bit.ly/49xXaMq Keto Flex Revised by Ben Azadi (pre-order now, releases July 21st, includes exclusive bonus chapters as a downloadable PDF): https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the five foods he eliminated that ended his chronic cravings and led to losing 19 pounds in 30 days. The root issue is not willpower. It's hormones and inflammation. A 2019 NIH study by Kevin Hall had participants eating ultra-processed vs. whole foods at matched calories. On the ultra-processed diet, they ate 500 extra calories per day without realizing it. The food was driving the overconsumption, not a lack of discipline. The five foods to remove: Liquid sugar. Sodas, juices, sports drinks, and flavored coffee drinks don't register as fullness. The Harvard Nurses' Health Study found adding one sugary drink per day led to 358 extra calories consumed daily. Swap for black coffee, plain tea, or sparkling water. Ultra-processed breads and tortillas. Stripped of nutrition and engineered for shelf life, modern bread spikes blood sugar as much as a Snickers bar according to Dr. William Davis. Opt for fermented sourdough or sprouted grain, or remove bread entirely for 30 days. Boxed pastas and processed comfort foods. Hyper-palatable combinations of salt, sugar, fat, and starch that overstimulate the brain's reward centers while leaving the body nutritionally depleted. A follow-up to Hall's study found people eating these foods consumed up to 1,000 extra calories per day. Seed oil-laden dressings, sauces, and condiments. Soybean, canola, corn, sunflower, and related oils produce carcinogenic aldehydes during processing and are in roughly 80% of the food supply. Replace with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, beef tallow, or duck fat. Look for seed oil-free brands like Primal Kitchen and Chosen Foods. Alcohol. A 1992 New England Journal of Medicine study found moderate alcohol consumption drops fat oxidation by 70% for hours. The liver prioritizes clearing alcohol above all else, including fat burning, while simultaneously increasing appetite and lowering the brain's stop-eating signals.

The week of May 25, 2026 delivered one for the record books — and not just one record. Valentine Livestock in Valentine, NE set the highest daily weighted average for 7-weight steers in U.S. history: $407.28/cwt on 2,582 head. Five of the top 10 all-time 7-wt steer sales nationally now belong to Valentine — all set on the same day. Meanwhile, packers bid $253 live all week while yards held at $260. Only 1,559 head traded through Thursday morning. The $7 standoff held. Chains ramp back to 530–540K next week — that's the pressure point. Slaughter for the Memorial Day week came in at 448,000 head — the smallest Memorial Day week cattle kill in modern history. YTD kill is running 9.2% below last year's pace. Heavier cattle (avg live weight 1,469 lbs, up 45 lbs year-over-year) are backstopping beef output, but YTD beef production is still 6.6% below the prior year. Boxed beef ribs ran +$18.50/cwt in a single week. Choice cutout closed at $391.47 — net up $1.20 on the week despite two down days Friday. Screwworm is 60 miles from the U.S. border. All southern ports of entry remain closed to livestock imports. No timeline on reopening. Mexican cattle are not coming. That feeder supply hole stays open heading into summer. Strait of Hormuz: U.S. and Iran agreed to a 60-day ceasefire extension. Shipping stays unrestricted — for now. WTI crude sold off on the news, erasing an earlier 3% gain. First crack in 14 straight weeks of fertilizer price increases showed up this week — potash and UAN32 eased. High Plains drought is expanding. Kansas Poor-to-Very Poor winter wheat: 55%. National Good/Excellent: 26%. Nevada and Great Basin fire outlook: above normal through summer.

The cattle trade story of the year dropped this week and almost nobody connected the dots. China's GACC renewed 5-year licenses for 425 U.S. beef packing establishments — straight out of the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing. USMEF CEO Dan Halstrom called it "what we've been waiting for almost a year." Meanwhile, the same Washington that spent $30 million to primary Thomas Massie — the only guy in Congress who consistently pushed back on farm policy sellouts — is now celebrating a China beef deal that China can turn off whenever it wants. We'll unpack both. Today's show covers: China GACC: 425 U.S. plant licenses renewed + 77 new registrations. What it means, what it doesn't, and why Argentina's peso devaluation changes the math Big 4 packer antitrust update — DOJ/FTC review context Cash cattle confirmed today: $263.90/cwt live, $410.00/cwt dressed — 3,074 head thin test on a soft board Corn reverses 11.5¢ · Boxed beef Choice $395.75 · HRW wheat at 17% good-to-excellent — worst since 2012 Diesel $5.60/gal (EIA wk ending 5/19) · Brent $110 · DAP $682/ton · Urea $549/ton War Reel: Ukraine hits Russian oil refineries 1,600 km inside Russia — Yaroslavl, Tuapse, Samara — and the direct line to your fuel and fertilizer bill Farm Bill: House passed HR 7567 April 30 (224-200), Senate markup imminent — Boozman targeting late May Brucellosis zone comment window OPEN NOW for MT/WY/ID Yellowstone interface producers On This Day: Homestead Act signed (1862) · Levi's born in a Reno tailor shop (1873) · Hamburger Hill — 72 KIA, abandoned 3 weeks later (1969) Burnin' Daylight is the farm and ranch market report for working producers — no hedge-fund voice, no filler, every number sourced before it goes on air.

This interview with George Toumbev of NatWest Boxed details the rise of Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS), highlighting partnerships with Saga and The AA. Toumbev predicts most retail banking revenue will shift away from traditional channels by 2030, necessitating "embedded banking" that utilizes a bank's license and balance sheet on brand platforms. Successful implementation requires strategic coherence between the brand and financial product, balancing technical excellence with strong banking credentials for safety. To ensure scalability, Boxed uses standardized "Lego block" modules rather than bespoke designs. Ultimately, this model allows brands to increase revenue and sales while outsourcing complex risk management and regulatory compliance to the bank
Kia ora. Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news the Iranians seem to be sucking Trump into a place he can't extract himself from, far from his earlier claims of 'total victory'. First up today, US existing come sales came in at a modest level again in April, and undershot what analysts were expecting. High mortgage interest rates are probably the reason for the soft demand. Still, they did sell at an annualised rate of just on 4 mln dwellings which is enough to sustain the sector. Unsold inventory is rising however, now at 16 weeks sales, and has been rising for all of 2026 and is now at 1.35 mln units. There was another US Treasury bond auction earlier today, and it was notable that demand is flagging, down -5% from the prior event. This time this 3 year bond achieved a median yield of 3.92%, up from 3.85% at the prior equivalent event a month ago. Inflation's impact in the US has officials scrambling. US petrol taxes are said to be on the radar for cutbacks. And the high cost of beef is pushing the US to sharply cut tariffs and quotas on imported beef. Both are effective acknowledgements that tariffs are hurting Americans more than their trading partners. However, given current demand and supply situations, it seems neither move will likely result in lower prices for US consumers. In Canada, their central bank runs a 'market participants survey' quarterly, and in the latest of these professionals now see geopolitical tensions more of a threat to their economy that the trade tensions with the US. They also saw only a modest +1.6% economic expansion this year. China's inflation is rising, noticeably now. Today they said their April CPI came in up +1.2% from a year ago, with fuel costs up +4.6% on that year-ago basis. But in April from March, fuel costs rose +3.5% in just one month. Things are hotter for producer costs which were up +3.5% year-on-year, and up +2.1% month-on-month. These are big sifts because it has been negative since October 2022. China's vehicle sales came in a 2.525 mln in April, about average aver the past three years, but marginally lower than year-ago levels which was an outsized period. On the commodities front, copper shot up to a record high today, and aluminium, nickel and zinc are also rising at the same time. Sulphur, a key ingredient for all mining and processing activity has shot up to a record high again, and approaching three times its cost of a year ago, up double from the start of Trump's Gulf War. Urea, which also spiked to mid April, has come back quite a bit since then. Trump is on his way to Beijing for a summit with Xi, but he is going is quite a weakened state - but he probably doesn't realise it. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.41%, up +5 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today up +US$8 at US$4722/oz. Silver is up +US$5 at just under US$85.50/oz. American oil prices are up +US$3 at just under US$98.50/bbl, while the international Brent price is holding at just over US$104.50/bbl, up +US$3.50. The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from yesterday, at this time at 59.7 USc. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at 82.2 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at just on 50.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62.9 which is little-changed from yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$81,983 and up +0.6% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just under +/- 1.4%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable Member Interview podcast, I'm joined by Antonio Bertone, CEO and co-founder of Alileo Wines. Alileo strikes an interesting balance between old and new, offering natural wines produced using traditional methods, but packaged in a less conventional way. Their Sicilian varietals such as Grillo and Zibibbo are available in both bag-in-box format as well as 20L one-way kegs. We talk about the packaging decision-making process, the trade-offs that come with alternative formats, and how Alileo is working to change perceptions around boxed wine. With their bold slogan of 'Boxed Wine is Not a Crime', Antonio shares the unique storytelling opportunity packaging can offer and insights into effective consumer engagement.
Monday's show covered the live farm bill fight, a cattle market that keeps firming, and why the Strait of Hormuz still matters to ranchers. June live cattle closed at 244.875 for a third straight session above Matt's 242.875 floor call, while USDA's April Cattle on Feed report confirmed 11.6 million head on feed, placements down 7%, and marketings down 6%. Boxed beef flipped back with Choice at 387.00 and Select at 386.07, and Joplin's 4-weight steers were sharply higher even as heavier cattle stayed under pressure. The show also hit SCOTUS arguments in Monsanto v. Durnell, SDRP payment changes from USDA, rural hospital pressure from UnitedHealthcare, and the crude/diesel risk tied to continued Hormuz escalation.

They reflect on Zavala as an unusually complex authority figure and speculate about the hot box's on-set design. Guest Castulo Guerra (General Zavala) discusses parachuting into an established series, working amid Dallas/Fort Worth heat and ragweed allergies, the show's on-set spritzers, the waterboarding scene, fan impact, accent choices, and career highlights including Terminator 2 and The Usual Suspects, and answers fan questions and a Sona escape pick (Steve McQueen).

Cattle futures are bleeding red, but the country trade is still hot as a branding iron. On today's Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report for Tuesday, April 21, 2026, we walk through the seventh straight down day in live cattle while OKC National, Joplin, Salina, Beaver County, and Lone Star are still moving big runs at stout money. June fats closed 243.50, down 8.50 off last week's record, but 500-pound heifers are bringing 503 and running-age pairs are tagging 4,700 a head in the country – the kind of dissonance a spreadsheet doesn't explain. We pick up Day Two of the DOJ's criminal antitrust probe into Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef and talk through how that headline is weighing on the board even with cattle on feed, placements, and slaughter all saying "tight." Boxed beef is still inverted with Select trading over Choice, and we break down what that weird twist means for packer margins and rancher leverage. New editorial direction kicks in this episode: less war, more dirt road – more sale barn, more horse market, more rural Americana. Inside this show: • Markets Flash – live cattle, feeder cattle, lean hogs, corn, beans, wheat, crude, diesel, fertilizer, Fed funds, prime, gold, and silver, all run quick and dirty. • Cattle & Beef Deep Dive – futures correction, DOJ headline risk, consumer pushback on 9-dollar burger and 22-dollar ribeyes, boxed beef inversion Day 2, cattle on feed, slaughter pace, and a 73-year-low herd with a Mexican feeder import ban still in place. • Sale Barn Pulse – receipts and price tone from Lone Star Wildorado, Oklahoma National, OKC West, Joplin Regional, Salina Livestock, and Beaver County Stockyards, including 533-pound heifers at 503 and running-age pairs up to 4,700. • Horse Market – NCHA Super Stakes winners in Fort Worth, Lone Star Spring Catalog sale prices, Heritage Place Winter Mixed averages, and what they say about ranch geldings and performance-horse demand. On the input side, we look at WTI holding 90.88 after the Iran spike, diesel still north of 5.40, and why that 847-dollar urea number may be the floor through summer if Persian Gulf ammonia and urea shipments get hung up. We hit Fed funds, prime, and why Powell is likely to sit on his hands while your operating note stays north of 7.75 percent. War Reel is trimmed to three minutes: Iran ceasefire clock, tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz way below normal, ship insurance jumping, and what that means for your fuel bill and fertilizer ticket – not another drone-footage highlight reel. Rural Americana closes it out with six stories you won't see at the top of the hour: Montana and North Dakota FFA kids stepping up, a Wisconsin farmer co-op landing a USDA grant, USDA killing 49 of 50 ILCMA land-access projects, a rural ER closure in Jacksonville, Arkansas, the Nebraska Rural Response Hotline lighting up again, and a 150-year-old Kansas newspaper that refuses to die. Policy and macro on the back end: Farm Bill amendment deadline, CCC borrowing authority, tariffs baked into your iron, land getting financialized out from under young producers, plus "On This Day," NBA playoffs, MLB, and Better Barrel Races in Oklahoma City. If you or somebody you know is in a bind, write this down and pass it on: Nebraska Rural Response Hotline – 1-800-464-0258. Free, confidential, since 1984. Move your ass — we're burnin' daylight.

This is part nine of a ten-part series from Garrett, a residential contractor on a remote forty-seven-acre property in the southern Appalachians of western North Carolina.On September 21, 2019, Garrett and his longtime friend Cliff hike to a ridge shoulder above the property at dusk to deliberately attempt wood knocks and a call blast. Cliff brings a baseball bat for striking and Garrett brings an audio recorder with a directional microphone.They set up about two hundred yards south of the bluff where Garrett had previously observed three creatures on the talus slope.Cliff's first three bat strikes on a dead oak produce a response within two minutes. A single heavy knock from the north, toward the bluff, at roughly a hundred and fifty yards. A second round of knocking draws two responses from the north and a third from the east, down the Bishop Creek drainage, confirming at least two separate individuals bracketing their position. Cliff identifies the two sources by their different acoustic signatures.Garrett then plays a Sierra Sounds vocalization through a Bluetooth speaker.After nearly four minutes of silence, the ridge produces three simultaneous responses. A sustained rising vocalization from the north at close range. A rapid series of barking tonal bursts from the east, closer than the previous knock. And a massive tree strike from the south, directly on their primary exit route back to the cabin.With three sides covered and only the western downslope open, Garrett directs their descent through trailless hardwood forest toward the meadow. Something parallels them on the north side, tapping position knocks coordinated with answering taps from the ridge behind them. Halfway down, both men experience strong infrasound, a subsonic vibration felt in the chest, teeth, and inner ear that produces disorientation and acute anxiety. A heavy branch snap from forty yards confirms proximity. At the tree line, all sounds and the infrasound cease simultaneously, and Garrett and Cliff cross the meadow to the cabin.Cliff tells Garrett he won't return to the property after dark and drives home the next morning. Garrett retrieves the recorder the following day and finds seven hours of post-encounter audio including knocking at 11:42 PM, a low vocalization at 1:15 AM, and clear heavy footsteps passing within ten feet of the recorder at 3:27 AM.The series concludes with Story Ten, in which Garrett discovers what Earl left behind and finally understands why the creatures have allowed him to stay.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Show Summary & Time Stamps: Title: Saffron as “Nature's SSRI”, GLP-1 Side Effect Mitigation, Holistic Oral Health, & More [0:00:00] – Show Intro [0:01:44] – Ed's Fitness Goal & Using AI Ed's 4:00 a.m. gym routine and training structure. Goal: 14 weeks out from Chattanooga fitness/bodybuilding contest (men's classic over 50/55). Uses AI as a “thinking partner”: Uploads body and meal photos daily. Gets macro/meal feedback and accountability in ~7–8 minutes/day. Reports better progress in 3 weeks with AI than all of last year's prep. [0:05:08] – GLP‑1 / Weight‑Loss Drugs & Protein Strategy Conversation with Be Well Labs about GLP‑1/ozempic‑type drugs: ~1 in 8 people currently on weight‑loss meds; pill form may push toward 1 in 2. Concerns: long‑term side effects, muscle loss, “hijacking” normal physiology. Ed's mitigation tips for those on GLP‑1s: Aim for ~1 g protein per pound of body weight. Most will need two protein shakes/day plus weight training. [0:06:47] – Butyric Acid, Hydrogen Water & Sleep Gains Ed's last 3 weeks: More energy, best sleep/Oura Ring scores he's ever had (scores from ~71 → ~82). Two main changes: Butyric acid (from butter/fiber fermentation): 2 capsules in the morning. Supports gut lining, may have GLP‑1‑like effects. Hydrogen water: Uses a hydrogen bottle and tablets; must drink quickly after dissolving. Hypothesis: combination is improving gut health, inflammation, and overall well‑being. [0:10:18] – Dollar General “Stranded” Series New mini‑series concept: “What would Ed Jones do if stranded in a rural town and only had Dollar General for meals?” Finds ~12 foods (out of ~2000) he'd eat regularly. Message: even in limited environments (Dollar General, fast food), you can still find better choices. Content to appear on Instagram, Facebook, (possibly YouTube). [0:15:58] – Tallow, French Fries & Processed Carbs Rib & Loin (local BBQ restaurant) reportedly using beef tallow. Ed on fats: Prefers tallow (stable saturated fat) over seed/vegetable oils. Critiques decades of low‑fat dogma and resulting high‑carb intake and heart disease. Notes potato farmers discarding crops: Impact of GLP‑1 drugs on restaurant demand. Growing awareness of harm from processed carbs. Hydrogen‑rich “healing” waters story (German mine, Mexico, Japan) → dissolved molecular hydrogen theme. [0:22:17] – Oral Health, Tooth Powder & Mouth Microbiome Ed's dental routine: cleanings every 3 months. References his oral health e‑book (searchable via NutritionW.com). Product mention: Echo Dent Daily Care Tooth Powder: Chosen because it does not annihilate mouth bacteria. Key idea: chronic use of strong mouthwashes (even “natural” ones) may: Damage oral microbiome. Be linked to higher Alzheimer's risk via “bad” oral bacteria. Occasional disinfecting is fine (e.g., sore throat), but avoid twice‑daily “scorched earth” approach. [0:26:33] – Niacinamide, Glioblastoma & High Iron Study highlight: High‑dose niacin/niacinamide (B3) may support immune activity and short‑term outcomes in glioblastoma. Niacinamide boosts NAD (cellular energy/anti‑aging cofactor). Already used by dermatologists to help lower skin‑cancer risk. High iron / ferritin: Ferritin >100: likely inflammation or iron overload. Ferritin >200: pathological; associated with shorter lifespan. Action step: Test iron/ferritin (e.g., at Be Well Labs / beginwithlabs.com). If high, consider regular blood donation to lower iron. [0:34:42] – SSRIs & Antidepressants with Dr. Kurt Deering Guest: Dr. Curt Dearing, clinical pharmacist (30+ years). SSRIs discussed: Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, Zoloft. Effectiveness vs placebo: Placebo response in depression is high (~40%+). SSRIs only modestly better than placebo in many trials. Typical course: Weeks 1–2: patients often feel worse. Weeks 3–4: back to baseline. Weeks 4–6: if helpful, benefits show here. [0:40:44] – SSRI Side Effects, Withdrawal & Risks Common side effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, headaches. Sleep disturbance (insomnia or excessive sleepiness). Anxiety, jitteriness, tremors, dry mouth. Long‑term issues: Sexual dysfunction (very common). Weight changes (often weight gain). Withdrawal (if stopped abruptly): Anxiety, dizziness, flu‑like symptoms, insomnia. “Brain zaps” – electric‑shock sensations that strongly discourage abrupt stopping. Boxed warning: Increased suicidal thoughts/behaviors, especially 18–24‑year‑olds. [0:48:03] – Natural & Lifestyle Alternatives (Green Pharmacy) Strong caveat: never stop/taper SSRIs without coordinating with the prescribing clinician. Nutrient foundations: Vitamin D adequacy for mood and depression. Low‑dose lithium (as a micronutrient, e.g., lithium orotate): Supports brain health, reduces inflammation, may aid depression/anxiety/cognitive health. Omega‑3s, especially EPA, for mood support. Herbs & natural options: St. John's Wort, ashwagandha, saffron. Lifestyle interventions: Exercise (research shows it can match or beat standard depression care). Sunlight, sleep quality, mindfulness/prayer, overall holistic changes. Team approach: Add trainers, nutritionists, holistic practitioners alongside psychiatrists/MDs. [0:50:52] – Saffron as “Nature's SSRI” Clinical evidence: Meta‑analyses: saffron ≈ SSRIs in effect for mild–moderate depression. Faster onset (often 1–2 weeks). Side‑benefits: Heart health, anti‑inflammatory, lipid‑lowering. Cognitive support (including in Alzheimer's studies). PMS symptom relief. Eye health (age‑related macular degeneration support, intraocular pressure). Better sleep (duration and quality). Weight management (reduced appetite, body weight, waist circumference). Improved libido and sexual satisfaction (opposite of many SSRIs). [0:56:44] – Offers, Products & Closing WishGarden immune products: Immune boost for pregnancy. Kids' immune support formula (often mixed with honey for taste). Free bottle for the first 10 in‑store visitors mentioning the show (time‑limited). NoogaPodcasts.com: Clint promotes his local podcast network (crime, politics, adventure, health, faith, veterans, etc.). Fireside Herbicide: Plant‑desiccating herbicide that dehydrates weeds instead of poisoning soil. Less harmful to earthworms and soil life vs glyphosate products. Sign‑off: Radio airing on Sundays, podcast version (“Vital Health Radio”) drops Tuesdays. Thanks to listeners and mention of Nutrition World as primary sponsor.

Luke Gygax, the son of D&D co-creator Gary Gygax, is collaborating with Wizards of the Coast (WotC) to return the Gygax name to the game’s original setting, Greyhawk. This move was engineered by Dan Ayoub, Dungeons & Dragons’ Head of Franchise, who publicly stated that the game had “lost its way” and that involving popular figures like Luke Gygax is an effort to set it on the “right path”. The collaboration will produce Melf’s Guide to Greyhawk (Melf was Luke Gygax’s original player character) and new adventures set in the world. WotC also announced a full presence at Gary Con to mend rifts with the Gygax family and reinforce their commitment to the community, with Ayoub affirming that retailers and “face-to-face physical play” will remain central to D&D. Catalyst announced a new core product line for BattleTech, including a Core Rulebook, Starter Box, and Core Box, all scheduled to launch at Gen Con. These releases move the game's entry point away from the Succession Wars and firmly into the ilClan era, introducing advanced tech like pulse lasers and Clan tech early on. The Starter Box replaces the older Beginner Box, featuring the Hammerhead and Kontio, while the Core Box replaces A Game of Armored Combat and Clan Invasion with eight mechs from various eras. The new Core Rulebook, built off the Battlemech Manual, incorporates significant changes from recent playtests, such as front-loaded unequal initiative and basing charge damage on the Target Movement Modifier (TMM). Games Workshop announced Warhammer 40,000 11th Edition, slated for a June release, with a goal to bridge the gap between narrative and matched play. The edition refocuses the lore on the Armageddon conflict, pitting Imperial Forces against Orks. A key rules change eliminates fighting over objective circles, replacing them with combat for pieces of terrain. GW will allow current 10th edition codexes to remain usable at launch, and the new edition will feature over 70 new detachments. Other updates include reducing stratagem stacking (one per unit per phase), allowing players to roll charge dice before determining targets, and bringing back Combat Disembarking from transports engaged in melee. Hours before Games Workshop's major announcement, the “biblical horror wargame” Trench Crusade launched its first true starter set, Carcass Front, which is available for pre-order at $129.99 and set for a late July release. The box set contains 16 new plastic miniatures split into two warbands: the mobile, smaller-count Heretic Naval Raiders and the high model count, melee-focused Procession of the Sacred Affliction, a zealous cult who practice religious penance by deliberately inducing leprosy. Carcass Front emphasizes narrative play value, including two full campaigns: The Path to Leviathan, a 2-player narrative, and a map-based campaign designed for 2–8 players to battle over resources. #dnd #battletech #warhammer40k #trenchcrusade Warmachine Frontier: https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/warmachine-lost-damned-salvation-5274 Definitive HATE on MyMiniFactory: https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/hate-the-definitive-miniature-collection-5301 Sean Aaberg's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/seanaaberg Low Life Sign Up: https://www.dungeondegenerates.com/ Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support us by Shopping at Miniature Market (afilliate link): https://miniature-market.sjv.io/K0yj7n Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/ http://www.rcharvey.com Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

Growth looks glamorous from the outside. Until the summer never comes. Chad sits down with Stephanie Allen, co-founder of Airworks, to unpack what really happens when bold goals, big budgets, and leadership transitions collide with economic reality. Stephanie shares the raw truth behind scaling from gut instinct to structured systems, why their first revenue backslide in 15 years forced personal reinvestment, and how nearly losing momentum strengthened both their business and marriage. From navigating husband and wife leadership dynamics to redefining accountability, Stephanie reveals how raising the floor, not just the ceiling, is the secret to sustainable growth. They dive deep into EOS, the discomfort of holding people accountable, and why clarity is kindness. Stephanie also introduces her "AI barbell" philosophy, explaining how technology should strengthen human development, not replace it. This conversation is for leaders who want real growth, not just bigger numbers. It is about systems, ownership, resilience, and the courage to evolve when the plan fails.

Will Donald Trump strike Iran? After General Dan Caine reportedly cautioned the President that a lack of munitions and support from allies could mean greater danger for U.S, speculation is mounting in Washington over whether Trump will proceed with a military attack on Iran. Freddy Gray is joined by Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago to assess what Trump is really planning – and what options he actually has. They discuss Iran's advancing nuclear programme, its ballistic missile capabilities, why Trump may be getting cold feet, and the extent of past American involvement in efforts at regime change in Tehran.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Gender stereotypes continue to shape how work is valued, how talent is assessed, and how people progress in organisations, often in ways that operate beneath the surface of conscious awareness. Despite decades of progress on gender equality, deeply embedded assumptions about leadership, competence and commitment continue to influence workplace decisions. In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Mary are joined by globally recognised researcher and DEI expert Lori Mackenzie, co-founder of the Stanford VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab, to explore how gender stereotypes persist in today's workforce — and why they matter for HR leaders. Drawing on international research, real workplace examples and lived experience, the conversation examines how stereotypes show up in recruitment, promotion, performance assessment and leadership language. They discuss why women can also internalise and reinforce these beliefs, the impact of motherhood penalties, and how seemingly neutral words can carry gendered assumptions. They also explore the growing role of AI in HR decision-making - both the risks of embedding existing bias at scale, and the opportunity to use data and pattern recognition to challenge inequity. Guest Lori Mackenzie – Co-Founder, Stanford VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab Topics include: Why gender stereotypes remain deeply embedded in modern workplaces Findings from the European Institute for Gender Equality on attitudes to pay and work value How stereotypes influence hiring, promotion and reward decisions Why women can also internalise and reinforce gender bias The “motherhood penalty” and its impact on career progression How language reinforces narrow definitions of leadership and success Gendered descriptors such as “bossy”, “shrill” and “strategic” — and why they matter Where bias shows up across the employee lifecycle, from recruitment to development The risks of relying on “gut instinct” in hiring and promotion decisions AI in HR: amplifying bias versus using technology to identify patterns and blind spots Practical tools to block bias, including scorecards, rubrics and clearer success criteria The role of transparency, awareness and self-reflection in driving real change Useful Links & Resources European Institute for Gender Equality – Gender Equality Index Stanford VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab LinkedIn page Lori's website Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, please do.

Peter Drucker once said “Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else” How is your management of time? Links: Email Me | Twitter | Fac ebook | Website | Linkedin The Time-Based Productivity Course Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 403 Hello, and welcome to episode 403 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Are you in danger of boxing yourself in with too many processes and too much structure? Now, it's important to stress that having some structure to your day is important. But too much can lead to boxing yourself in and losing flexibility. Let me give you an example I often come across. Protecting time for doing your focused work. Having this protected on your calendar so the time cannot be stolen by others is important. If you protected 2 hours and finished in 90 minutes, that doesn't mean you have to continue for another 30 minutes. Take a break. You're done. But this works the other way, too. If you have two hours protected for a project task but cannot finish it in that time. It's okay. You turned up. You did the work, but you miscalculated how long it would take. This happens to all of us. Some days we're on fire and can plough through a lot of work. Other days, a lot less so. The problem is that when you begin your day, you really don't know what kind of day you're going to have. There are too many variables. How you slept, whether you're catching a cold or simply something else is on your mind. Your life is not measured by what you do in one day; everyone has bad days. So, with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Alex. Alex asks, hi Carl, this year I'm trying to be better at time blocking, but I am really struggling to stay consistent with my blocks. What advice do you have to help stay true to your calendar? Hi Alex, thank you for your question. Something I have always taught is that of all your productivity tools, one of them needs to be sacred. One of your tools must be the “truth” about what you are going to do that day. Task managers are generally not good at this because we throw a lot of things into them. That's a good thing. Yet, the issue is that most people never curate what they throw in. This creates overwhelming lists of low-value, ill-thought-out items that will never get done. They just cripple your task manager's effectiveness. The best tool for acting as your sacred base is your calendar. It's never going to lie to you. It shows you the 24 hours you have each day and where you need to be, with whom, and when. You cannot overload yourself without it being plainly obvious that you are trying to do too much. And let's be perfectly clear, an agreed appointment with someone will always take priority over an email or proposal you need to write. If not, you cancel the appointment. I hope, at a basic, civilised human being level, you get that. I've called off face-to-face meetings in the past if the person I am meeting cannot put their phones down and actually talk to me. It is rude, disrespectful, and no person with an ounce of integrity would ever do that. One of the striking things I've noticed about the highly successful people I work with is that they never have a phone. Tablet or laptop near them when they are in meetings. A notebook and a pen are all they have. That's focus, professionalism, and demonstrates to the person you are meeting that you are focused on them in that moment. When you make your calendar your primary productivity tool, you gain clarity about how much time you have available for the things you want to do. It's visual, it's staring at you, and there's no escape from reality. If you work 9 hours a day and today you have 7 hours of meetings, you only have 2 hours to do solo work. That's it. If you need three hours to get your critical, must-do work done, then you have two choices. You either cancel a meeting or you accept that you will need to work an extra hour. It's strange how so many people waste so much time trying find other solutions. That's time they could have spent on getting started on the work. The solution is to time-block slots for doing the work that matters. The best salespeople block time every day to prospect and follow up with their customers. That's why they are the top salespeople. The best CEOs block time every day for working on their top priority task. That's why they are the best at what they do. Best-selling authors block time for writing every day. That's why they sell a lot of books. Now, as I eluded to at the beginning, there will be some days when things don't go according to plan. You might be sick, had an argument with a loved one or just be distracted for whatever reason. Or there could be a good old-fashioned emergency that needs your attention. It happens. That's life. However, it's not really about what you do or not to do in one day. The purpose of time blocks is to get you to show up and do the work. It's not about volume. Spending twenty minutes on your actionable email is better than spending zero minutes. It's surprising how much you can get done when the pressure of time is on you. You don't dilly-dally around. (Wow! That's a phrase I haven't used for a long time!) Ultimately, the measure is how well you did against your plan for the week, not necessarily an individual day. Let me give you an example. I have two blog posts, two newsletters, this podcast and a YouTube video to produce each week. They are my measurables. Six pieces of content. I know I need about 12 hours a week to produce that content. I also have 15 hours of coaching appointments. So, in total, I need 27 hours protected before I begin my week to complete my professional work. It's doable, and based on my completion rates, I complete this work around 87% of the time over 12 months. I'll take that. (I measure it at the end of every year) I work with one highly successful CEO who writes a LinkedIn Newsletter every week. Her company has over 50,000 employees in six different countries. She protects two hours every week to write that newsletter. One hour for the first draft and one hour later in the week to edit it. Last year, she didn't miss one newsletter. She had a 100% completion rate. And that was her goal. How did she do it? She protected her writing time every week. She would protect Monday mornings when in the office, and when travelling, she would take advantage of jet lag and write when she was wide awake in the early morning or late at night. She time-blocked the time. She knew the only way to achieve a 100% completion rate was to make sure each week she had protected the time to do the work. However, time blocking only works if you are planning your week. Not planning your week leaves you open to other people hijacking your calendar, and as I am sure you are aware, other people are often very persuasive… or demanding. When you sit down to plan the week, you first look at what meetings and appointments you have scheduled. How much time does that leave you? That will tell you what you could realistically get done that week. If you're away at a conference for three days, you really only have two days to work with. However, one of those days will probably be needed for catching up, so realistically, you've got one solid work day. But let's look at a typical week when you are at your usual place of work. How much time do you need to do the work you are employed to do each week? A journalist may be expected to write an article a week. How long does it typically take to write the article, excluding the research and interviews? That would be their starting point. Doctors I work with often need 2 hours or more after seeing patients to handle paperwork. If they want to get home at 7:00 pm each evening, then that will affect the time they need to stop seeing patients and do paperwork. Salespeople are focused on seeing clients most of the day, but they also often have paperwork and follow-ups to do. Where can they fit the time they need for paperwork and follow-ups? Knowing what you are expected to do as part of your job and ensuring you have sufficient time to do it each week is what I call protecting time for your core work, and it goes back to the birth of humankind. Our ancestors on the Savannahs knew their core work. To hunt for food. If they'd had a big kill one day, they may have been able to take a day off, but when they started their day, they knew their job was to go out and find food. It was a non-negotiable part of their day. That's what time blocking does for you. It gives you clarity on what you need to do that day. All you need to do is show up. One tip I can give you about time-blocking is to keep your time blocks general. For instance, the CEO I mentioned a moment ago calls her newsletter writing time simply “writing time”. That gives her some flexibility. If she needs to write a report for the board and is up against a tight deadline, then that is what she will write in that time. She will then find another space for the newsletter writing. I do something similar. I have writing time and audio/visual time protected on my calendar. I can then choose what I write or record on the day as part of my daily planning routine. If you're in sales or a client-facing role, the time you spend working for your clients can be called “client” or “customer” time. I would also highly recommend that you set aside time every day to deal with messages, emails, and admin. These tasks will creep up on you if you're not dealing with them every day. Even if you can only find thirty minutes, take it. Whenever I am on a business trip, whether domestic or international, I make sure to set aside time during the day to address my actionable messages. The most challenging ones are domestic, as I generally drive to the appointment or event. The easier ones are international as there is a lot of time hanging around in airport lounges. Another tip I would give is not to go crazy here. Time blocking is not about blocking every minute of the day. It's about protecting time only for the important work you need to do. When I look at my calendar, there are only three hours a day protected for solo work. On days when I have a lot of meetings, I usually reduce that time to one hour. So there you go, Alex. I hope that has helped. You are going to have good and bad days. That's perfectly normal. But, you have complete control of your calendar, so you can move things around, change your blocks if necessary. But, and this is the important but, once you've locked them in for the day, you stick with them. Remember, it's not about how much you do in the time, it's about turning up and doing the work. And if you want to transform your time management and adopt a sustainable time-based productivity system, my newest course, the Time-Based Productivity course, will do that for you. It will teach you how to time-block effectively and organise your work so you are doing the right things at the right time. PLUS… by joining the course, you get free access to my recently updated Time Sector System course and my Time Blocking Course. If I were to recommend one course for 2026, that's the one I would recommend. Thank you for your question, Alex and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Episode 5054: Tulsi Boxed Out Of Venezuela
Ravi Gupta and Stephen Webber break down Congress's explosive vote to release the Epstein files as Trump abruptly reverses course at the last minute, raising questions about whether compromising material is being withheld. They analyze accusations from Mark Epstein that the files are already being scrubbed, Rep. Thomas Massie's threat to read names on the House floor, and the sweeping disclosure requirements included in the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Kander and Gupta also dive into the political chaos surrounding Speaker Mike Johnson's demand for last-minute changes that the Senate flatly rejected, Trump's meltdown when pressed on why he didn't release the files himself, and the escalating infighting on the right—from MTG's attacks on Trump to Megyn Kelly's soft-pedaling of Epstein's crimes to new reporting that the White House intervened on behalf of Andrew Tate. Plus, they discuss the stunning court ruling striking down Texas's redistricting maps after a DOJ-induced legal fiasco.
