Dedicado ao sucesso na educação dos filhos de uma doadora anônima, que sejam abençoados com Brachá e saúde!A aula de hoje do Tanach retoma a dramática história do cerco de Sancheriv, rei da Assíria, contra Jerusalém. Com o exército assírio em total vantagem militar, a destruição parecia inevitável, mas a arrogância do inimigo e a traição interna de figuras como Rav Shaka e Shevna desafiaram o próprio nome de Hashem. Através das tefilot do rei Chizkiyahu e das profecias de Yeshayahu, o relato revela como o silêncio diante das ofensas e a verdadeira Emuná transformaram o cenário de uma guerra perdida em uma vitória milagrosa, provando que nenhuma força humana prevalece contra o plano Divino.

May 5, 2026: Charlottesville City Council hears about the State of Homelessness but little about next steps for 2000 Holiday Drive

Today's edition is sponsored by Nola BuildsFive times five is not 125, but May 5 is the 125th day of the year and goes by 5/5 no matter what side of the Atlantic you are on. Charlottesville Community Engagement has so far been produced on the Western side but one potential future would be for at least some editions to be created in other parts of the world. After all, it has now been three years since the World Health Organization declared the end of the COVID-19 pandemic global health emergency. This opening paragraph was written while listening to an Italian radio station.In this edition:* Four nonprofit groups that provide support for unhoused people present the annual State of Homelessness report to Charlottesville City Council* There's no new public information about how three of those groups will operate a low-barrier shelter at 2000 Holiday Drive* More support has been requested for those in encampments along the Rivanna River but at least one Councilor said another plan is neededFirst shout-out: Upcoming Charlottesville Area Tree Steward walks to celebrate MayThe mission of the Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards is to support rural and urban forests and promote knowledge and understanding of the value of trees for present and future generations.One way the group does that is through holding guided tree walks and there are two opportunities coming up this month.* Charlottesville's Belmont neighborhood is a good example of the city's tree canopy. Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards Steve Huff and Scott Syverud will lead walks on at 9 a.m. on both May 7 and May 8 for people age 14. Sign up for May 7 here or register for May 8 here.* On May 9 at 10 a.m., Charlottesville Area Tree Steward Emily Ferguson will lead a two hour walk at the Virginia Department of Forestry to help identify Hickories, Oaks, and Pines - Oh My! Register here!* On May 12 at 9:30 a.m., Syverud will begin a walk to celebrate Springtime in the Forest at Ivy Creek. Sign up here.All walks are free, but donations are always appreciated. Thanks!The State of Homelessness 2026: Low-barrier homeless shelter edition Every year, nonprofit organizations that work with the unhoused population present City Council with an update on their efforts. The annual State of Homelessness report provides an opportunity to get a big picture look at an intractable issue that the City of Charlottesville is investing millions to solve including the recent purchase of an office building off the U.S. 250 bypass.“This year takes on a different lens because we've had a lot of conversations in regards to 2000 Holiday Drive,” said City Manager Sam Sanders. “This is a chance to go beyond that one facility that we've been discussing and gives the providers an opportunity to provide the Council and the public an update.”Since the last report, several groups have come together to develop an operations plan to run a permanent shelter around the clock. That would include roles for The Haven, People and Congregations Engaged in Ministry (PACEM), and the Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless (BRACH).BRACH leads the Continuum of Care The executive director of the latter went first.“Overall we've seen an increase in numbers across the board, stronger collaboration and partnerships between the agencies that are represented here today and just better cohesion of services,” said Shayla Washington. “So I think the overarching message is we're all working together, but there's still a greater need than what we can achieve as single entities.”BRACH is the lead agency in the Continuum of Care, a framework established by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1994 to coordinate services. BRACH formed in 1998 and became a tax-exempt non-profit in 2009.“We are the HUD-designated system, mostly handling the HUD federal application for funding,” Washington said. “Currently, our CoC only receives funding for permanent supportive housing from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. But we do oversee regional planning, data collection and data performance, and really just trying to be that main body that's coordinating all the regional housing and homeless services for folks who are experiencing homelessness.”Every year, BRACH also coordinates the Point in Time count which records population data for HUD. This year's event was held on January 28 in the middle of a long cold snap exacerbated by an ice storm. There was an emphasis on getting people inside that night through emergency hotel room stays but Washington said seven people slept in the cold overnight.“We found four people who were sleeping outside and chose to stay outside for that night from Charlottesville and Albemarle, and then three from Louisa County,” Washington said. “We did not receive numbers from the other counties in our catchment area. We had 87 people who were hotel through emergency hotel stays.”BRACH also runs the Coordinated Entry Management System which contains the names and identities of people documented as homeless. As of May 4, there were 333 individuals on what is referred to as the By Name List.“This is people who are either outside or sleeping in a shelter, any place not meant for human habitation,” Washington said. “So if they have a roof over their head, it's because it's an emergency shelter or it's because they are sleeping in a car or a place that doesn't have running water or electricity. If they're couch surfing or staying with friends or family and just kind of unstably housed, that does not count towards our by name list.”Of those 333 people, 58 identified the City of Charlottesville as their last permanent address and 21 said from Albemarle County. Around two-thirds either did not say or were not asked. Washington said that could be improved over time through better training.“Sometimes people aren't willing to give a lot of information at the first point of contact with them,” Washington said. “And so it's just reminding service providers to continue just trying to collect that data anytime you can.”At the moment there are only 54 permanent shelter beds available year-round operated by the Salvation Army at their facility on Ridge Street. That number increases to just over 100 when PACEM operates night shelters in area churches. There are 30 spots for rapid rehousing. And 30 permanent supportive housing spaces.“With permanent supportive housing, these are folks who are mostly older,” Washington said. “One third of them don't have income and they all have disabling conditions and were homeless for very long periods of time before they got into this housing. And it's the most stable that they've ever been in some cases, many cases.”Supportworks Housing are building another 80 permanent supportive units at their Vista 29 facility on U.S. 29.Rapid rehousing offers up to 24 months of case management to assist a person with handling their finances to stay in a place.Washington also presented data on some of the reasons why Charlottesville is an easy place for some to fall out of the housing system. For instance, the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment is between $1,700 and $1,850“As a reminder, affordable housing is defined as not paying more than 30% of your income towards rent,” Washington said.The City of Charlottesville now designates BRACH as a fundamental agency so it receives $250,000 a year to provide services deemed to be vital. That has allowed them to hire a full-time grants and data manager. This year the agency will for the first time conduct a Point in Time count for unsheltered people in the summer.PACEM began operations in 2003 and Deputy Director Cindy Chambers said the organization has traditionally relied on volunteers to operate the shelter in the cold weather months.“One of our churches who hosted 40 men for two weeks required at least 100 volunteers and spent roughly $7,000 to do it,” Chambers said. “So we are an organization that has always thrived on the giving and the compassion of the congregations in our community.”In recent years, staff has undergone some professionalization with additional resources from the City of Charlottesville.Seven people work for the organization year round and there are 27 people who work during the season. In addition to the cold weather shelter, PACEM also runs a secure housing program which offers a year of case management to help a client get through to permanent housing.“It's similar to rapid rehousing in the sense that we give intensive case management,” Chambers said. “However, we do not get any sort of state funding. It's all privately funded and we do this with just a bit of move-in help. And this is how we have sustained, this year, 20 folks in housing through our work.”PACEM also offers additional case management to some clients who may have income but have difficulty going through the steps of securing a lease. She said six people this year have found a permanent home through this housing navigation street outreach.“Unfortunately, we just don't currently have the capacity to give everyone a case manager. So we really focus our efforts on folks who could potentially pay rent,” Chambers said. Chambers said additional staffing and training has allowed the agency to step up some of its intake procedures to increase safety such as enhancing bag checks to stop prohibited items from coming in the doors.“This year we also stopped holding people's items that we used to hold based on feedback from our local police,” Chambers said. “We made 62 calls to 911 and only 10 of them were for folks that we really couldn't handle behaviorally as opposed to last year we made 120 calls.”PACEM is an example of a low-barrier shelter which means overnight guests are not required to participate in case management and there are no sobriety checks. Chambers said staff and volunteers are now trained in mental health first aid.“We really are just there to ensure that you are safe tonight and that you receive a hot meal and you can use the restroom,” Chambers said. “To do that, we do still have standards. You have to be able to compose yourself in a group setting, for example, and you have to be able to take care of your basic activities of daily living.”Chambers said PACEM helps provide places to live through shared housing and is working with property owners who want to be part of their solution while also getting paid steady rent. When Councilor Natalie Oschrin asked if they were looking for new participants, Chambers gave out her contact information. Take a look at the PACEM site.Chambers concluded by telling Council that anything the city can do to help people stay in their homes helps the overall system.“What's been a challenge for us is stabilizing them in that they are all just like one step away from maybe not being able to pay rent,” Chambers said. “So we are relying on a lot of the other programs you all fund, like [Piedmont Housing Alliance] to provide arrears assistance if they do fall behind.”That latter refers to a pilot project intended to help some residents at Kindlewood with higher-than-expected rates for newly constructed units.Second shout-out: Design DevelopArchitectural firm Design Develop is offering a new service aimed at the development community that the rest of us might want to know about , too — 3D point cloud scanning! This technique uses specialized equipment, such as 3D scanner systems, to gather a large amount of data points that represent the surface of the scanned object or scene. This really comes in handy when working with historic structures, as the firm knows from its experience in Baltimore and Charlottesville. Read their blog post for more information!The applications of 3D point cloud scanning are extensive and cover various fields, including architecture, construction, cultural heritage preservation, virtual reality, industrial design, manufacturing, and more. These applications require accurate 3D spatial information, and Design Develop's workflow provides precise and comprehensive results, all while being more cost-effective than traditional methods.Design Develop has expertise in this workflow for their own needs and now has a dedicated team offering this service in the Charlottesville and Albemarle Area. If you're involved in the real estate, design, or construction industry, contact them for more information or a free quote.Visit their website for an introductory video that captures the 3D point cloud scanning of the Downtown Transit Center and a booklet that will explain more!The Haven provides a day shelter in downtown CharlottesvilleThe Haven began operations in 2010 in a church on Market Street purchased by filmmaker Tom Shadyac for the express purpose of providing additional resources for those experiencing homelessness.“The heart of what we have done historically is providing our day shelter respite care,” said Executive Director Owen Brennan. “Over the past year, we had just under 26,000 visits to the day shelter. That averages out to about 70 people per day. And then over the course of a year, we see about 430 unique guests. Over that same time, we serve just under 26,000 meals. We serve breakfast every day of the year, and we serve lunch every Friday.”A partnership with UVA Health brings a primary health clinic each Wednesday to the site, a service that has expanded to include a psychiatric and addiction clinic.Brennan said The Haven also implements Continuum of Care services such as staffing a Homeless Information line for anyone in need.“This could be someone who is about to become evicted, someone who's going through the eviction process, or someone who is currently experiencing homelessness,” Brennan said.If that person does become homeless, they are asked to add their name into the coordinated entry system. Brennan said over 6,000 people called the hotline between April 1, 2025 and March 30 of this year. That's up from about 5,000 the year before.The Haven offers three assistance programs with one of them being direct financial assistance of up to $3,500 for people close to losing their rental unit within 14 days and have no other resources.“Oftentimes, we're partnering with other agencies, whether it's the Pathways Fund for the city or [Albemarle County Emergency Relief Program] for the county,” Brennan said. “Piedmont Housing Alliance has rental assistance programs. So we're doing a lot of really good collaboration to prevent folks from entering homelessness.”The other two programs are the Laura DeLapp Haven Housing Fund and a Rapid Re-Housing initiative. This past winter, the Haven served as an emergency shelter during the intense cold and ice snap.“We had an intense weather event this past January, February and the continuum of care came together,” Brennan said. “The city of Charlottesville contributed $25,000. Albemarle county contributed $25,000. And then we fundraised an additional $100,000 to provide hotel, shelter, food and support for a total of 109 unsheltered community members over 18 days.”Salvation Army preparing to launch next phase of Center of Hope campaign next weekThe Salvation Army has had a presence in Charlottesville since 1912 but began to get involved with providing shelter around 1980 according to Major Donald Wilson.“In this past year we have impacted over 9,653 individuals non duplicated counts which includes 16,304 nights of shelter, 1,367 food boxes, over 51,000 meals and also 3,186 personal care kits to help individuals in whatever situation they find themselves,” Wilson saidMajor Wilson said the Salvation Army has also pushed ahead with a plan to add six units for families with funding from Albemarle, Charlottesville and private donors. He said his office receives over 50 calls a day seeking assistance.The Salvation Army also continues fundraising for an expansion of its facility on Ridge Street to be known as the Center for Hope. He said they're about 59 percent of the way to the goal.“$22 million in construction, $2.2 million in furnishings, fixtures and equipment,” Wilson said. “And the Salvation Army… requires that we establish an endowment for that particular structure. Not only for the maintenance of it, but primarily for the continuation of the program so that we won't begin a program and not be able to operate.”The goal is to have 114 beds and to break ground on construction in 2027. More on this when the media campaign launches on May 12.Groups ask Council for additional support for Rivanna River encampmentOne of the questions at the work session is what should be done before a shelter opens at 2000 Holiday Drive. In late March, the City of Charlottesville hired a firm to go through a section of the Rivanna River embankment near Free Bridge where dozens of people have taken to living in tents. The idea was to both clean up trash but to provide outreach.“Outreach efforts will include distributing informational materials and providing fire safety guidance related to heaters, open flames, and carbon monoxide risks, as well as information about available community services,” read a press release from the time.No one was displaced as part of the clean-up. In February, both Brennan and Washington have joined a Public Spaces Working Group.“Our goal is to from each of our respective vantage points identify solutions that we all can get on board with to improve safety, improve health qualities both for the people in camp down at the river, the environmental health and the repercussions for businesses and residents who are adjacent to those encampments,” Brennan said.This week the group sent a letter to Council with additional requests. One is for delivery of portable toilets. The second is to identify an alternate location that would be much safer.“One of the biggest safety concerns is that all of the encampments are currently within what's called the floodway,” Brennan said. “So when we get a heavy rain, that's where the water is actively running. So there was a significant flood. It was 18 months ago. No one died but belongings were washed away. So we would love to find alternative, safer spots for folks.”Washington said BRACH has one outreach coordinator who goes out to the camp once a day to check on people.City Councilor Michael Payne brought up the issue of fire risk after seeing lots of propane tanks being used for heating and cooking.“I observed a lot of unsafe use around open flames,” Payne said. “We're currently in a drought. It's not just a thing to say. I mean, there's a house in Albemarle that burnt down from a propane tank last year.”There were no major updates on the low barrier shelter at 2000 Holiday Drive at this meeting until an hour and 45 minutes in when Washington said Sanders had been sent an updated estimate on Phase 1 that afternoon.“We now have two concrete numbers for phases one and two,” Washington said. “So now we need the city to decide which phase you'd like to move forward with or if you'd like a third option.”This information is not yet public.Councilor Lloyd Snook said he had not seen the report but he said he had a concern.“The broad concern that some of us looking in from the outside have had is that it seems as though the different organizations, the different nonprofits have sort of fundamentally different ways that they think they want to approach the problem and that we need to have one approach,” Snook said.The story will continue to develop.#1045 is also a podcast This is an atypical edition. I very much wanted to be able to get one of these Council work sessions written up quickly. A lot happened at Council but I wanted to prioritize this very important story.I say a lot how this newsletter intends to document complexity and that's what this edition attempts to do. Is this the best way to have told the story? Could there be other voices? The answer is always yes. But, what other media outlet in this community is capable of bringing you this information? Is anyone else even ambitious enough to try? I'm certainly willing to do so and glad for paid subscribers and donors to make it happen. You can learn more about the latter choice here.

Helen Brach was the wealthy heiress to the Brach candy fortune, living a life of privilege in Chicago. In February 1977, she traveled to the Mayo Clinic for a routine medical visit and was expected to return home shortly afterward. Instead, she vanished.Her houseman claimed she returned home briefly before leaving for Florida, but investigators quickly noticed inconsistencies in his story. Suspicious purchases appeared soon after, including a large meat grinder and an unusually thorough cleaning of her home.As detectives dug deeper, they uncovered a web of financial fraud and organized crime. Forged checks were traced to people in Helen's inner circle, and she had become entangled with Richard Baily, a con artist linked to the Chicago horse racing mob. Authorities believed Baily and associates targeted wealthy women through horse investment scams, and Helen had reportedly planned to expose the operation.Over the decades, multiple informants claimed Helen was murdered and her body destroyed, including one account suggesting she was killed and incinerated at a steel mill in Indiana. Despite extensive investigations and millions of dollars tied to the case, no one has ever been charged.Nearly fifty years later, Helen Brach remains one of the wealthiest missing women in American history and one of Chicago's most enduring mysteries.

While it is unclear how far back in human history popcorn goes, a cave in New Mexico shows that popped kernels of corn may have been in use more than 5000 years ago. Corn has played an important role in the diets of many cultures, and has spread to be a worldwide phenomenon since it was imported from the new world. Did you know that the corn we eat and the corn we pop are two different varieties of maize? In fact, the corn you'd find on your dinner table is most likely unable to pop at all! Only one variety of corn is able to become popcorn--This particular corn variety has small ears, and the kernels burst when exposed to dry heat. In the early 1900's Louise Ruckheim added peanuts and molasses to popcorn to bring Cracker Jack to the world...today there are endless amounts of sweet and savory choices...or for a healthier option...just plain is great.

In this episode of The D2D Podcast, Hunter Lee sits down with Justin Brach, CEO of SubcontractorHub, to break down what new and struggling door to door reps often miss about the contracting world. Justin brings nearly two decades of experience building and rescuing large construction organizations.Justin explains why so many contractors and solar companies collapse when they scale too fast, especially when teams chase volume without understanding cash flow, WIP timelines, and the dangers of becoming asset heavy. He also shares how SubcontractorHub solves this by connecting sales orgs and EPCs into one ecosystem, improving transaction speed and allowing reps to work with multiple installers under one roof.Reps will hear timely perspectives on AI in sales, why it will never eliminate door to door, and how AI is reshaping permitting, project management, lending, and operational efficiency behind the scenes. Justin breaks down how the most sustainable companies grow by staying capital efficient, compressing timelines, and putting customer outcomes above quick wins.You'll find answers to key questions such as: What causes new contracting and solar companies to fail when trying to scale fast?How does being asset light and capital efficient protect a D2D sales business?Why will AI never replace door to door sales reps?How do WIP timelines and cash flow delays impact installs and commissions? How can reps benefit from a decentralized platform that connects them to multiple EPCs? Connect with Justin Brach Website: https://subcontractorhub.comInstagram: @SubcontractorHub

1995 kommt ein Spielfilm in die österreichischen Kinos, der eine lange verdrängte Geschichte ins Zentrum rückt. "Hasenjagd – vor lauter Feigheit gibt es kein Erbarmen" heißt die Produktion des Regisseurs Andreas Gruber. Zehn Jahre lang hat er dafür recherchiert, Zeitzeuginnen und Zeitzeugen befragt und um Förderungen gekämpft. Immer wieder wird ihm gesagt: Diese Geschichte interessiere heute niemanden mehr. Gemeint ist eines der schwersten Kriegsverbrechen auf österreichischem Boden. Nach einer Massenflucht aus dem Konzentrationslager Mauthausen werden im Februar 1945 mehr als 400 Häftlinge von der SS und Teilen der lokalen Bevölkerung verfolgt und ermordet – die sogenannte "Mühlviertler Hasenjagd". Gruber entscheidet sich dennoch, den Film zu realisieren. Im Zentrum steht eine jener wenigen Familien, die geflohenen KZ-Häftlingen geholfen haben. Er arbeitet eng mit Überlebenden und ihren Angehörigen zusammen. Der Film wird 1995 zum meistgesehenen Kinofilm des Jahres in Österreich. In der vierten Folge unserer Miniserie erzählt "Inside Austria" die Geschichte hinter diesem Film. In einem Interview blickt Andreas Gruber auf die Widerstände während der Produktion zurück – und darauf, wie die Arbeit an der "Hasenjagd" nicht nur seine Karriere, sondern auch seinen Blick auf Österreichs Umgang mit der NS-Vergangenheit nachhaltig geprägt hat.

This “dangerous” film is Polanski's first English-language movie, shot in London during the peak of the French New Wave (Polanski is a Polish-French filmmaker). “Repulsion” offers indie-film groundedness, a gritty reality, noir-inspired neorealism, and an upheaval of social values of the time- sexual liberation, classism, irony, and iconoclasm.

Is women's pro softball here to stay?

What is it about softball? “What is it not about softball?” replies Megan Faramio, a star pitcher for the Talons in the all-new Athletes Unlimited Softball League, or AUSL. “I can literally talk about softball for days.” The AUSL is about to wrap up its first season with a three-game playoff series in Alabama between Faraimo's Talons and the Bandits, a team name that Chicago softball fans know well. The Chicago Bandits were based mainly in Rosemont and played in the National Pro Fastpitch league from 2005 to 2019 until the league disbanded during the COVID-19 pandemic. The AUSL said it was “re-introducing” the Bandits brand “to make new history.” AUSL league commissioner Kim Ng acknowledged that pro women's softball leagues in the U.S. have a “spotty” history, but she says this league will be different. In this inaugural “barnstorming season,” AUSL teams like the Talons and Bandits are not yet attached to specific cities, so The Stadium in Rosemont has hosted every team in the small league for many of the regular season's games. Next year, the AUSL plans to attach six teams to six to-be-determined cities, and Ng says Rosemont is on the short-list. “Absolutely, you have to consider somewhere that has a Jennie Finch Way,” Ng said, a reference to the team's legendary former player and the street named after her where Rosemont's pro softball field is located. In our last episode, we looked back at Chicago's first professional women's softball league from the 1940s and ‘50s — one that featured business-sponsored teams like Parichy's Bloomer Girls or Brach's Kandy Kids. That softball league rivaled the pro women's baseball league featured in the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own.” Today, we're exploring this new chapter in professional women's softball history. What's going to give the AUSL staying power? And what's all the hype about? We asked Talons star Megan Faraimo, Commissioner Ng, and — at a sellout crowd on a hot day in Rosemont — the fans.

Discover Lafayette: Senator Brach Myers on Public Service, Family, and Revitalizing the Oil Center of Lafayette Louisiana State Senator Brach Myers, who began serving Senate District 23 in March 2025 after representing House District 45, joined Discover Lafayette to reflect on his deep-rooted commitment to public service, his childhood journey, and his ongoing mission to uplift Lafayette and the state of Louisiana. A Lafayette transplant by way of Palmetto and New Iberia, Brach shared, “Lafayette was always the big city to us. I joked and said that many days in the back of a hatchback car ride in the back to Lafayette.” He shared his love of Lafayette: “Lafayette has unmatched culture. You can see the most beautiful parts of the U.S., but there's nothing like coming home.” His upbringing was a blend of blue-collar life and entrepreneurial ambition, split between a trailer park in New Iberia and the early days of LHC Group, the home health care giant his father and stepmother, Ginger and Keith Myers, started in Palmetto, Louisiana. “My mom worked at the General Mill. She was a seamstress. My stepfather was a railroad engineer. She still is a hard worker. She owns a small embroidery business here in Lafayette.” Brach moved to Lafayette in 1999 to attend UL, where he met his wife Carly. They were married just six months into dating. “She's my absolute soul mate… We're residents of Bendel Gardens right here by the Oil Center.” Brach's day job is as Senior VP of Corporate Development at LHC Group, which provides care in over 40 states and employs more than 30,000 people. A humble public servant, he brings his business acumen, heart for his fellow man, and a drive to make things better in his position as State Senator. His son, Emile, shares the family's spirit of service. After seeing the mob of traffic each year at their neighbor's “Christmas Light House" (owned by Dr. Andy Blalock), Emile started selling hot chocolate to people stuck in line, to benefit local nonprofits. “He raised over $2,000 in one night the first year. Last year, he raised over $30,000.” It's now a full-scale community event with music, food trucks, and hundreds of visitors to Bendel Gardens. “He chooses a different charity every year. It's all on him.” Emile Myer's hot cocoa fundraiser has grown into quite a success over the years! Sen. Myers indicated that Emile will probably pass the baton soon to a younger entrepreneur who can carry on the fun event which benefits local charities. Brach brings a deeply thoughtful and humble approach to public service. “I never thought I'd be in the legislature… but I felt called to do it.” Inspired by conversations with his wife during long walks, he felt compelled to act: “I can sit on the sideline and complain about it, or I can roll up my sleeves and jump into the pit.” His campaign mantra has been to lead with transparency and openness. “I said, I'm going to contact everybody back. I'm going to give everybody a fair ear, even if we vehemently disagree.” His legislative office “looks more like a counseling office… People can come and sit down.” As a Senator, Brach now represents three times the constituents he did as a State Senator and works with six mayors instead of one. “It's a lot busier...but I don't take it lightly.” One of his legislative focuses has been health care, drawing from best practices across the nation. His H.E.R.O. (Healthcare Employment Reinvestment Opportunity) Healthcare Workforce bill, modeled after Kentucky and Florida legislation, aimed to reverse Louisiana's healthcare staffing crisis by broadening the program's scope and provide educational grants to reach as many people and institutions as possible. “We picked the things that worked and got rid of the things that didn't.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geae0oiLHMw He's also worked to streamline access to services through a “one door” policy for DCFS and Department of Health programs.

This episode uncovers the remarkable transformation that happens when a quality wheated bourbon sits open for a year, developing complex layers of flavor that weren't present upon first pour.The Barton 1792 Distillery, established in 1879 by Thomas Moore, continues its tradition of excellence with their Sweet Wheat expression. At 91.2 proof, this bourbon replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat for a softer, more approachable profile while maintaining the distillery's signature character. Our side-by-side analysis reveals how oxygen exposure dramatically enhances this whiskey's profile over time.Our freshly-opened 2025 bottle immediately impressed with its long legs in the glass and a beautiful body that coated every corner of the mouth. The nose offered toasted notes with prominent vanilla, reminiscent of Brach's candy chews, eventually developing subtle cherry hints. On the palate, it delivered a remarkable cherry transition that one taster described as a "cherry flavored cigar" with a lengthy finish that earned it high marks in our rating system.Meanwhile, the 2023 bottle that had breathed for a year showed the magic that happens with patience. Its nose had transformed to showcase significant caramel development, while the taste featured an intense "momentary butterscotch" explosion that transitioned beautifully to cherry notes. Though its finish was shorter than the fresh bottle, its evolved complexity earned it equal overall points through different strengths.Whether you're new to wheated bourbons or a seasoned enthusiast, this episode offers valuable insights into how these spirits develop over time. The next time you crack a bottle of wheated bourbon, consider setting some aside to experience months later – you might be surprised by how dramatically it transforms.

Renowned psychologist Tara Brach on the power of Buddhism in modern therapy

*This episode was originally broadcast Saturday, June 26th, 2021Over the past few decades, Buddhism and psychology have served as bridges connecting Eastern and Western thought. Believing that nothing is permanent, Buddhism presents an honest understanding of our minds — how we spend so much of our time thinking about the past and future, and struggle to stay in the present. Harnessing these insights, psychologists and therapists have incorporated Buddhism into therapy by teaching mindfulness meditation practices, and the power of observing our own thoughts and emotions rather than trying to get rid of them.  KCRW’s Jonathan Bastian talks with Tara Brach, a clinical psychologist who has spent decades studying Buddhism, meditation, and the incorporation of Eastern thought into her Western practice.  She holds a PhD in clinical psychology, and has spent dozens of years studying Buddhism and meditation. Brach, one of the most sought-after Buddist teachers in America, explains why the stillness of meditation is “exquisite,” and how the simplest of acts may be the purest. Her books include “Radical Acceptance, Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha,” “True Refuge: Finding Peace and Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart,” and most recently, “Trusting the Gold: Uncovering Your Natural Goodness.”

"There's probably nothing that feels more valuable than getting intimate with our own hearts," says Tara Brach. "We need it. We need it in this world." Drop into this conversation between GP and Brach, who shares her insights about what it means to open our hearts to ourselves and to others. Brach teaches us how we can soften and create space for each other, and why it's necessary to process our feelings so they don't unwittingly rule our lives. Of course, Brach and GP talk about using the RAIN practice for coping with big emotions, and they do a mini meditation together for listeners who'd like to hear—and experience—it in action.
