Radar Online claims Queen Camilla is feeling territorial about Kate's future role, with sources alleging palace figures have warned Camilla that Catherine will one day be queen and future “perks and influence” will shift accordingly. The report also links the tension to Kate's headline-grabbing tiara moment at a recent state banquet. Separate reporting says King Charles is pushing senior royals to end the Harry and William feud, with one insider quoting him as saying, “Everyone needs to grow up,” and suggesting Charles is looking to Kate as a steady bridge between the two sides.We also have Kate's solo away day in Bradford and Wakefield, braving Storm Chandra to spotlight children's trauma therapy and community rugby, plus Charles and Camilla hosting Holocaust Memorial Day guests at Buckingham Palace. And finally, the national memorial to Queen Elizabeth the Second gets a design clarification: the main statue will depict her standing, not on horseback.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Cold plunges are everywhere, and the way people talk about them, you'd think they're a miracle cure for your brain, body, and soul. But in an age of algorithm-fueled evangelism, when a ritual becomes this ubiquitous and loud, we have to ask: how much of the buzz is backed by science… and how much is just marketing? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of cold exposure: what's real, what's overstated, and why this "discomfort" has become a billion-dollar industry. We discuss: Why cold plunges went viral, and how wellness movements often devolve into identity-driven cultures The difference between cold exposure itself and the monetized "cold plunge movement" What constitutes a "cult" (and how pseudoscience forms around partial truths) The real physiological cold shock response Why the mental "high" after a plunge doesn't automatically equal long-term brain benefit The cardiovascular risks that rarely get discussed, especially for people with underlying heart disease What the research suggests about soreness, pain reduction, and muscle growth (including why cold immersion can blunt hypertrophy) The real story behind brown fat Who should avoid cold plunges altogether (asthma, arrhythmias, coronary disease, vascular conditions) Joining us for this conversation is investigative journalist and bestselling author Scott Carney (What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge), who has spent years inside the cold exposure world, first as a skeptic, then as a believer, and eventually as a critic of the culture that formed around it. His work reveals what happens when discomfort becomes identity, and when unfounded "social media science" outruns real science.

Luxury home design is no longer defined by finishes and floor plans alone. High-end homeowners are asking their homes to support performance and wellness. Brad Robinson, president of Bradford Custom Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the evolving landscape of luxury home design and the trends shaping today's high-end market. Redefining Luxury: Wellness-Driven Design Robinson said, “The way I see luxury evolving is how your home makes you feel, how it helps you perform, how your home creates a sense of rejuvenation and prepares you to go back into the world and perform at your peak.” Many of Bradford's clients are high performers in their professional lives and have already optimized other aspects of their day-to-day routines. As a result, these homeowners are now asking more from their built environments. To meet those expectations, Bradford Custom Homes developed the Bradford Elemental System, a wellness-driven design framework that focuses on three foundational components: air, water and light. Each element is intentionally integrated into the design and construction process to improve comfort, health and overall performance within the home. Unlike traditional construction models, Bradford does not simply execute a completed set of plans. Instead, the company takes a leadership role early in the process, ensuring wellness goals are carried through every phase of design and construction. “We serve as expert representatives for owners and connect them through the correct architecture or the architects, the designers, the interior designers and the right engineers that know how to bring these systems together,” said Robinson. “We serve as that central conduit to help ensure that vision is really aligned and brought to life.” By prioritizing wellness at the systems level—not just through surface-level amenities—Bradford is redefining what luxury living means in today's custom home market. Luxury Home Design Trends Robinson highlights several design trends taking shape in the luxury home market: Sustainability: Homebuyers want more sustainable products incorporated into their homes that don't off-gas or affect the indoor air quality. Traditional design returns: Out-of-town buyers are choosing natural materials and “tried and true” design elements alongside more contemporary styles. Durability in the kitchen: Quartz and porcelain countertops are in style, thanks to their durability and hygiene. While these surfaces may not offer the same heat resistance as some materials, they provide a higher level of cleanliness. Homeowners are also looking for NSF-rated and 100% nonporous options for an added level of sanitation. Wellness-driven primary suites: From circadian lighting to enhanced ventilation, Robinson notes that his clients are choosing design elements that encourage recovery and recharge. Smart Home Integration Smart home technology continues to shape luxury living, but power resiliency is becoming a growing concern in Atlanta. To address this, Bradford installs EcoFlow systems and natural gas backup generators, ensuring critical systems like energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and water filtration remain operational. “There are some amazing and cool features when it comes to pressing a button,” said Robinson. “But what happens when we have rolling brownouts? The AI data centers are going to get preference for power before the residents will.” Multigenerational Living & Flexibility Post-COVID-19 lifestyles have fueled demand for multigenerational living and aging-in-place designs. As families share space, there is a need for private living areas, whether as a main-level bedroom suite or accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Many families are also adding expansive outdoor spaces designed for communal and individual use, including pools, outdoor fitness spaces and even saunas. “People are making those meaningful investments in their home so they want to stay there,” said Robinson. “The average homeowner spends 18 hours a day in their house.” 2026: Year of Innovation Robinson said, “I’ve been working very hard and behind the scenes, I’ve created a private equity fund that’s going to give us the ability to dip our toes into some of the ultra-high-net-worth markets and some of those communities that we’ve aspired to build in.” Bradford has a new project set to appear in Atlanta Style & Design Magazine in March, which will showcase wellness-focused design, integrated technology and high-performance materials. The project utilizes insulated concrete forms (ICF) and HydroBlok wall assemblies to create fully waterproof, mold-resistant envelopes while maintaining high-performance interiors.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we're covering a wide mix of enforcement, research, and political moves from both sides of the Atlantic: Macky starts with a major UK bust after police seized two tonnes of cannabis during a farm raid in Blackrod, according to the BBC. A huge operation that raises familiar questions about scale, enforcement priorities, and who really pays the price when these grows get taken down. DC Smee debutes on the show and talks about a local court case from Bradford, where a man found himself in trouble after loaning his van to cannabis fly-tippers. A cautionary tale about favours gone wrong, and how easily people can get dragged into serious charges. Dr. Margaret brings some policy news from the US, as Trump signs an order expanding medical cannabis research. A potentially important move that could finally loosen long-standing restrictions on what scientists are allowed to study. We also touch on a story from Windsor, Ontario, involving a student who allegedly brought THC gummies into a school, another reminder of how education, regulation, and responsibility often lag behind reality. John wraps things up with two big US developments: Texas moving to ban smokable cannabis as early as January 25, while at the same time the US House passes a bill protecting state medical marijuana laws and rejecting an attempt to block Trump's rescheduling move. Another packed episode full of contradictions, crackdowns, and cautious progress, exactly the kind of week we've come to expect.

It's Boxing Night in Bruddersford and the pantomime's a disaster waiting to happen. The company's second-rate, the theatre's half empty, and the actor playing the Demon King hasn't turned up. Then he does—and suddenly everything changes. The performance takes on an authority it never had in rehearsal. The comedy gets sharper, the villain more convincing, and by the end something has happened that nobody can quite explain. Priestley wrote this in 1931, drawing on his Bradford theatre days and the tradition of the pantomime devil who enters from stage left. The BBC adapted it for radio in 1962 with Ian Wallace, adding Radiophonic Workshop effects to a story that's as much about provincial theatre life as it is about the supernatural. First published 1931. BBC Home Service radio adaptation December 1962. Author: J. B. Priestley (1894–1984), Bradford-born novelist and playwright. Best known for The Good Companions, Angel Pavement, and An Inspector Calls. During the war his BBC radio talks reached audiences of 16 million.

How can abstraction carry emotion, identity, and lived experience?In this episode of About Art, Heidi Zuckerman speaks with painter Katherine Bradford, whose luminous work bridges the personal, mythic, and communal. Bradford moved from Maine to New York in the 1980s as a single mother raising school-age twins and became part of the first wave of artists to shape the Williamsburg art community. After more than a decade navigating the Manhattan gallery world, her work has since been recognized internationally and is held in major museum collections.Their conversation spans Bradford's five-decade painting career, abstraction and figuration, color and process, studio practice, and the challenge of representing human emotion. They also discuss community, motherhood, the evolving art world, and why creativity remains fundamental to how we understand ourselves and one another.This is a conversation about painting as a lifelong practice—and art as a deeply human act.
Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, firstly in 1969 for The Armies of the Night and again in 1980 for The Executioner's Song, Norman Mailer's life comes as close as is possible to being the Great American Novel: beyond reason, inexplicable, wonderfully grotesque and addictive.The Naked and the Dead was acclaimed not so much for its intrinsic qualities but rather because it launched a brutally realistic sub-genre of military fiction - Catch 22 and MASH would not exist without it. In Tough Guy: The Life of Norman Mailer (Bloomsbury, 2023), Richard Bradford combs through Mailer's personal letters - to lovers and editors - which appear to be a rehearsal for his career as a shifty literary narcissist, and which shape the characters of one of the most widely celebrated World War II novels. Bradford strikes again with a merciless biography in which diary entries, journal extracts and newspaper columns set the tone of this study of a controversial figure. From friendships with contemporaries such as James Baldwin, failed correspondences with Hemingway and the Kennedys, to terrible - but justified - criticism of his work by William Faulkner and Eleanor Roosevelt, this book gives a unique, snappy and convincing perspective of Mailer's ferocious personality and writings. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics (Twitter @15MinFilm).

Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, firstly in 1969 for The Armies of the Night and again in 1980 for The Executioner's Song, Norman Mailer's life comes as close as is possible to being the Great American Novel: beyond reason, inexplicable, wonderfully grotesque and addictive.The Naked and the Dead was acclaimed not so much for its intrinsic qualities but rather because it launched a brutally realistic sub-genre of military fiction - Catch 22 and MASH would not exist without it. In Tough Guy: The Life of Norman Mailer (Bloomsbury, 2023), Richard Bradford combs through Mailer's personal letters - to lovers and editors - which appear to be a rehearsal for his career as a shifty literary narcissist, and which shape the characters of one of the most widely celebrated World War II novels. Bradford strikes again with a merciless biography in which diary entries, journal extracts and newspaper columns set the tone of this study of a controversial figure.

The world of prehospital medicine is constantly evolving, driven by new research, technological advancements, and a shared commitment to improving patient care and provider well-being. As EMS professionals, staying informed about these developments goes beyond a professional obligation; it is an opportunity to improve our practice, champion our profession, and ultimately make a greater impact on saving lives. In this article, we will explore some of the latest research findings that are reshaping our field, from workplace culture to cutting-edge technology. The Culture of Care: Supporting EMS Providers Our work is demanding, both physically and emotionally, and the culture within our agencies plays a critical role in our well-being. A recent systematic review in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health revealed that many EMS providers avoid using organizational mental health services due to stigma and a perception that these programs lack genuine care. The study emphasizes the need for person-centered support and a cultural shift that normalizes seeking help as a sign of strength (Johnston et al., 2025). This cultural component also impacts retention. Another study in the same journal found that agencies with collaborative, team-oriented "clan" cultures had significantly lower turnover rates compared to those with rigid or chaotic structures. For leaders in EMS, fostering a supportive environment is not just about morale. It is a strategic imperative for retaining skilled clinicians (Kamholz et al., 2025). Professional Recognition: Breaking Barriers Across the globe, paramedics are striving for recognition as integrated healthcare professionals. A qualitative study in BMC Health Services Research identified common barriers, including outdated legislation, inconsistent regulation, and insufficient funding. While the pandemic temporarily highlighted our capabilities, the momentum has waned. The study calls for targeted policy reforms and investments in education and leadership to solidify our role in the broader healthcare system (Feerick et al., 2025). Physical Demands and Injury Prevention The physical toll of our work is undeniable. A scoping review in Applied Ergonomics confirmed that musculoskeletal injuries, particularly to the back, are rampant in EMS. Tasks like handling stretchers and patient extractions are among the most strenuous. The review also highlighted fitness disparities, with male paramedics generally showing more strength but less flexibility than their female counterparts. These findings underscore the need for targeted injury prevention programs and realistic physical standards to keep us safe throughout our careers (Marsh et al., 2025). Advancements in Cardiac Arrest Care When it comes to cardiac arrest, every second counts. A study in Resuscitation reinforced the value of bystander CPR, showing that dispatcher-assisted CPR significantly improves outcomes for untrained bystanders. For those with prior CPR training, acting independently yielded even better results. This highlights the importance of public CPR education alongside dispatcher support (Tagami et al., 2025). On the scene, our interventions matter immensely. Research in The Journal of Emergency Medicine found that for traumatic cardiac arrest patients, aggressive interventions like prehospital thoracostomy can be lifesaving (McWilliam et al., 2025). Meanwhile, a study in Critical Care Medicine revealed that extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) significantly improves outcomes for patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation, emphasizing the need for early transport to specialized centers. The Role of Technology in EMS Technology is poised to revolutionize EMS, from dispatch to diagnosis. A study in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine demonstrated that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT could prioritize ambulance requests with remarkable accuracy, aligning with expert paramedic decisions over 76 percent of the time. This proof of concept suggests that AI could one day enhance resource allocation in dispatch centers (Shekhar et al., 2025). On the diagnostic front, machine learning is opening new possibilities. For example, a study in Bioengineering showed that analyzing photoplethysmography waveforms could estimate blood loss in trauma patients, offering a non-invasive way to guide resuscitation (Gonzalez et al., 2025). Similarly, research in Medical Engineering & Physics explored using multidimensional data to differentiate ischemic from hemorrhagic strokes in the field, potentially enabling more targeted prehospital care (Alshehri et al., 2025). Addressing Disparities in Care Equity in EMS is a cornerstone of our profession, yet recent studies highlight troubling disparities. Research in JAMA Network Open found that ambulance offload times were significantly longer in communities with higher proportions of Black residents (Zhou et al., 2025). Another study in JAMA Surgery revealed that Black and Asian trauma patients were less likely to receive helicopter transport compared to White patients. These findings are a call to action for all of us to examine our systems and biases to ensure equitable care for every patient (Mpody et al., 2025). Looking Ahead The research discussed here represents just a fraction of the advancements shaping EMS today. From improving workplace culture and injury prevention to leveraging AI and addressing systemic inequities, these findings have real-world implications for our protocols, training, and advocacy efforts. As EMS professionals, we have a responsibility to stay informed and apply these insights to our practice.

In this episode, John Bradford, CEO of Pet Screening, ranked No. 879 on the Inc. 5000 in 2025. Joins Gene Hammett to talk about what it really takes to build a "category of one" business. Bradford shares how visionary leadership and relentless execution go hand in hand, why founders must be honest about the size of their total addressable market, and how underestimating demand can limit growth. He draws on Pet Screening's success in helping landlords manage pet policy compliance amid America's growing pet population, while also unpacking the importance of strong core values, genuine team engagement, and empowering individuals to contribute to sales in a collaborative culture. Along the way, Bradford reflects on learning from mistakes, taking full responsibility as a leader, and using real market feedback to sharpen strategy, offering practical, experience-driven insights for entrepreneurs focused on long-term growth and leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 3:01 The Birth of Pet Screening 6:18 Creating a Category of One 8:10 Common Mistakes in Creating a Category 10:49 The Essence of Relentless Execution 12:27 Core Values That Drive Success 14:36 Living Your Values in Practice 16:27 Lessons from Leadership Mistakes 19:18 Conclusion and Call to Action Building a Category of One Starts with the Market John Bradford, CEO of Pet Screening, joins Gene Hammett to discuss what it takes to build a true category-of-one business, starting with the importance of market size. Bradford stresses that even the best ideas fall flat if they do not address a meaningful total addressable market (TAM). He cautions entrepreneurs against underestimating market potential, noting that ideas aimed at small audiences often remain side projects rather than scalable companies. A strong vision must be matched with a market large enough to support long-term growth. Solving a Real Problem at Scale Bradford explains how Pet Screening emerged from his background in property management and technology, identifying a widespread problem landlords face in managing pet policies. With roughly 160 million pets in America and a growing number of pet-owning households, the demand is substantial. Pet Screening's software helps landlords ensure pet policy compliance while reducing fraudulent emotional support animal claims, positioning the platform as a trusted, nationwide solution in the housing industry. Visionary Leadership, Core Values, and Execution The conversation turns to leadership, where Bradford shares how strong core values and daily execution shape company culture. He emphasizes that values must be lived, not just stated, and highlights Pet Screening's focus on equal opportunity, making an impact, and keeping work enjoyable. Bradford also underscores relentless execution, encouraging every team member to understand and support the product, including participating in sales. This shared ownership drives efficiency, creativity, and alignment across the organization. Learning from Mistakes and Listening to the Market Bradford openly discusses the role of mistakes in entrepreneurship, advocating for accountability at the leadership level rather than blame within the team. This approach builds trust and encourages innovation. He also highlights the importance of market feedback, urging founders to seek honest input beyond friends and family to refine ideas and validate demand. The episode concludes with practical insights on how visionary leadership, execution, feedback, and ownership intersect to drive sustainable growth, reinforcing that leadership and scaling are inseparable. Key Takeaways Vision alone is not enough successful category-of-one companies pair bold leadership with disciplined execution. Market size matters; even strong ideas struggle without a sufficiently large total addressable market (TAM). Solving a real, widespread problem creates momentum and positions a business for scalable growth. Core values must be demonstrated through daily actions to foster trust, engagement, and accountability. Involving the entire team in understanding and supporting sales strengthens alignment and execution. Effective leaders own mistakes, creating a culture where learning and innovation thrive. Market feedback is a strategic asset and should come from diverse, unbiased sources. Long-term growth is driven by the integration of leadership, culture, and continuous refinement of strategy.

What messages did Bradford have inscribed into his headstone?
A lot of Seahawks players have said that they need to improve on their communications skills during the game, Bob & Bryan go through what they have seen about how the Seahawks communicate. Byron Murphy has stepped up this season and is tied for the team lead in sacks. // The Seahawks have been able to adjust at halftime, why is that? The guys go through how this team has been able to make changes with such limited time. // Anthony Bradford has been getting a lot of flack recently but he has not played bad this season. The guys break down why the Seahawks Guard is coming under so much criticism. // Sweeping the Dial: Klint Kubiak talked about how well JSN handled having a quiet game against the Vikings. Tome Pelissero talks about the options for the Cardinals if they want to move on from Kyler Murray. Richard Sherman on the Amazon postgame show had some criticism for Cowboys WR George Pickens.
In the early 1600s, an orphaned teenager named William Bradford joined a clandestine congregation of passionate Puritan worshipers in the village of Scrooby, England. Every Sunday, he met in secret with the radical group known as Separatists, who believed that the Church of England was corrupt, and that the only way forward was to break with it entirely. But defiance of the Church of England was a serious crime, and Bradford and his fellow worshippers faced harassment and persecution.So they resolved to leave England altogether and flee to Holland, where they could worship in peace. It was the start of a long and turbulent odyssey that would end on the rocky shores of New England, with the founding of Plymouth Colony.
