This episode was with Mr. Mak and Mr. Binu from HBA two names that have redefined global hospitality and luxury design.They spoke about how HBA was built, how it grew across continents, and what it takes to manage multiple design studios under one vision. What stood out to me was their clarity on how culture, detail, and human emotion play such a crucial role in shaping great design.We discussed the difference between Indian and international clients, the story of how MAK entered real estate, and even an interesting chapter about the Jewish Museum. Their definition of luxury wasn't about money or material it was about emotion, experience, and identity.The conversation went deeper into topics like why details matter while constructing homes, how to build true luxury in Mumbai, and the importance of designing amenities for every age group.Beyond the design side, they shared their thoughts on the challenges of working in India, the rise of global designers shaping Indian projects, and what the future of Mumbai's infrastructure could look like.This episode isn't just about architecture or design it's about understanding people, culture, and how global design philosophies can beautifully blend with India's soul.Timestamps:00:00 Trailer01:35 Introduction03:02 What is HBA?04:59 How HBA manages different verticals07:17 Building studios to acquiring studios reason08:13 Branches of HBA around the globe10:13 Difference between Indian & foreign clients explained by Binu13:31 The story of MAK into real estate16:40 Jewish museum story18:47 Definition of luxury by man24:22 Activity done with customers before starting the work33:13 Why details matter while constructing homes35:53 Timelines for the projects38:15 Learnings from project40:40 Experience working in India41:48 Challenges in India46:21 Best stone work in India?48:28 How to build luxury in Mumbai56:25 Importance of amenities for each age group59:24 The future of Padel courts globally59:55 How global designers can shape India in the coming future1:03:05 Future of Mumbai infrastructure01:04:47 Conclusion

PNC Bank is the nation's eighth-largest bank by assets and the sixth-largest by deposits, but it ranks fourth in the number of physical branches. In a time when many banks are streamlining their in-person service locations, why has PNC doubled down on branches? On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast, PNC executive Jeff Martinez explores: The role of branches in marketing and account acquisition, particularly business accounts. PNC's strategy of combining organic growth and M&A (most recently in Colorado with FirstBank). Professional opportunities created for bank employees through the in-person delivery network. The role of personal touches — down to thank-you notes and branded umbrellas — in reinforcing the bank brand through the client experience.

Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Imagining the ChurchJohn 15:1-11 (ESV)1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.Sermon OutlineThe deep union between Jesus and his church is unique in its life-giving nature.1.

Jesus makes it blatantly clear in John 15 that HE alone is the VINE…and we are the branches. That's not an insult, but rather the embodiment of our God-given purpose in life! When “branches” try to pretend like they're “the vine,” life gets complicated, confusing and chaotic! Branches have 2 functions: Remain in the Vine & Produce Fruit. Be the branch! -----Official WebsiteInstagramTwitterFacebook

In this week's episode of Deep & Wide, we explore the beautiful balance of being Deeply Rooted in Christ while extending Wide Branches to reach and impact others. In this message, we discover that spiritual depth fuels effective outreach.When our roots grow deep in God's love and truth, our branches naturally spread wide—bearing fruit, offering shade, and inviting others to find life in Him. This message encourages us to cultivate a faith that's both rooted and expansive, personal and missional.

Hello Libration Nation! Our book this week is Catwings a whimsical and heartwarming tale by beloved author Ursula K. Le Guin. The story follows four ordinary kittens born with an extraordinary gift—they have wings. As they set out to find a safe place in the world, the kittens discover both the beauty and challenges of being different. With gentle language and charming illustrations, Catwings is a modern classic that captures the magic of imagination, the courage of leaving home, and the comfort of finding where you belong.My guest this week is the amazing Dr. Julia Skinner, she is a food writer whose work includes the award-winning book Our Fermented Lives. She is the founder of The Culinary Curiosity School, and also runs Root, a food-focused community and consulting organization offering classes, consulting on creative projects, a weekly newsletter, and more. She's also the founder of Roots and Branches, where she coaches other writers to help them find their voice and share their most important work with the world. She is also a nature lover, a teacher, and a traveler who firmly believes in finding, and sharing, the magic of everyday life. She has a PhD in Library & Information Science, and lives between Atlanta, GA and Cork, Ireland.

Stir together 1 - 1 1/2 c ginger beer to 1 shot bourbonAdd herbal syrup (below) to taste (optional)Garnish with fresh lemon balm, basil, or mint: lightly crush or roll before adding to the cocktail for maximum flavor Herbal syrup (makes about 1 quart): Combine 2 c sugar to 2 c water with a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Add 1-2 c packed fresh herbs, depending how strong you'd like it (like basil, mint, lemon balm, or mountain mint). Simmer on M/L for 10-15 minutes or until aromatic and flavorful. Cool and store in the fridge in an airtight container. Catwings Cocktail (tailor made by Julia!) This cocktail has a few steps, but I promise they're worth it: And you can batch out the syrup and tea by doubling or tripling the recipe to make these for a group or to keep the ingredients on hand in the fridge (where they'll last a week). The tea can be nice on its own, and any leftover syrup is perfect for adding to coffee or other beverages or drizzling on desserts. For a non-alcoholic version, swap in your favorite NA gin, or try this sea buckthorn-based NA spirit. Makes 4 cocktails For the herbal tea:(Note: you may not have all these dried herbs available. If not, just use 1/4-1/2 tsp catnip and 1 tsp chamomile. Or, just a chamomile tea bag). · 1/4 tsp dried catnip· 1/4 tsp dried chamomile flower· 1/4 tsp Angelica root· 1/4 tsp elecampene Steep the herbs in 3/4 c hot water for 10-12 minutes. Strain and cool completely. For the lemon balm syrup: (Note: You can play with other herbs you like here too, catnip, mountain mint, and/or basil might be fun choices depending on your tastes and what's available). · 1 packed cup fresh lemon balm leaves· 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar· 2/3 c water· pinch salt· 1 c sugar Heat all ingredients together over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until fragrant and flavorful. Remove from heat, then cool completely and strain. For the cocktail · Divide the herbal tea across 4 rocks glasses (add ice, if desired)· Add 1 shot gin to each glass· Add 1 shot of syrup to each glass and stir· Top with sparkling wine or soda water to taste.· Garnish with fresh lemon balm, if desired.In this EpisodeSteering the Craft by Ursula Le Guin

Don't get called for double dribble in the kingdom! In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how to stay consistent in your walk with God and keep your spiritual momentum. In sports, a penalty stops the game until it's addressed. Spiritually, penalties stop our momentum. We're learning to identify and call them out in ourselves so we can keep moving forward with God.Today's focus: the basketball penalty called double dribble. A dribble is bouncing the ball while walking. But once you stop, you must pass or shoot — you can't start again. Spiritually, "double dribble" is inconsistency in our walk with God.Inconsistency kills momentum.God's not looking for weekend warriors — He's looking for weekday walkers. It's easy to be on fire Sunday, but what about Thursday?James 1:8 KJV says, "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." A double-dribbling Christian keeps picking up and putting down God's ways.Remember Demas?2 Timothy 4:10 NLT: "Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this life..."Demas walked with Paul, saw miracles, and still walked away. Why? Because inconsistency leads to drift.Hebrews 2:1 MSG warns us to hold tight to truth so we don't drift.Culture is a current pulling you away from God.Inconsistency → Ineffectiveness → Insignificance.(Not your worth, but your usefulness in the Kingdom.)How to avoid double dribble:1. Abide in the VineJohn 15:4-5 ESV: "Apart from me you can do nothing."Branches bear fruit only when connected to the root.God doesn't want to be number one on your to-do list — He wants to BE the list.Don't compartmentalize God. Build your life around Him. He's the center from which everything else flows.2. Practice Makes PerfectLike athletes practice, we must develop daily spiritual habits: prayer, scripture, community, worship.Each time you do, it's like bouncing the ball.Philippians 2:12: "Work out your salvation..."Have you seen someone burn hot, then fizzle?They sprint spiritually, then stall out.Consistency > Intensity.Ten minutes daily is better than a monthly binge.The goal isn't perfection, it's progress. Closing: From Demas to MarkMark started strong, then quit. Paul even refused to work with him. But later, Paul calls Mark "useful to me" (2 Timothy 4:11).Tradition says Mark wrote the Gospel of Mark — from quitter to gospel writer.Failure isn't final.God can still use you.Decide today: No more double dribble. Start the daily dribble.Pick ONE thing you can do daily — pray, read, encourage.Don't be spectacular. Just be steady.Could double dribble be called on you?

You are the Branches
We're going to go pretty deep today, but I guarantee that you'll enjoy this episode and have some great takeaways. There's a verse in the Bible that says, “I am the vine and you are the branches.” And in John 15:2, it says the Father “prunes” or cuts the branches “so that it will be even more fruitful” So how can we apply this to our daily lives and make a better world for ourselves and for those around us? On today's , Tony Wechsler and Dr. Desjamebra "DJ" Robinson are going to discuss, “Cutting the Branches.” DJ can be reached at her website where you can find links to her social media as well as her YouTube channel and other broadcasts, and links for her books. https://drdjrobinson.com/As always, you are invited to join the Strive to ThriveFacebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/

Today, Hunter was once again joined by Chesa Boudin and Eric Fish to discuss a law review article they recently published. This time, they are talking about Public Defenders and the Separation of Powers. While this seems like a law school paper for law school professors, the fundamental question posed by this episode is how Public Defenders can/should increase their political capacity to act as a check on the other branches of government.

Listen in as Pastor Alex start his sermon series on Battling the Invisible.
In the New Testament, before there was a name for ‘church', they just called it ekklesia — which is Greek for the gathering. A place for people to find one another, to build one another up, and to connect with Jesus.To stand in this church today, in this beautiful space, surrounded by this vibrant community, is to see that dream not just realized, but flourishing and multiplying in ways we could have only prayed for.But we are not just spectators. We are participants. We are the builders. We are the body. Each of us has a part to play.

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Ezra 8:21,23, Nehemiah 1:3-4
Many believers know they've been redeemed, but few understand what they've been redeemed into. In this episode, we uncover that identity through Grafted Branches: The Identity of the Redeemed—a teaching that reveals how those in Messiah are part of the people of Israel and heirs to the covenant promises.This teaching restores the biblical identity of the redeemed and shows why Torah is for all who are grafted in through Messiah. Learn how your role as a grafted branch shapes your calling, inheritance, and future.

Three Branches of Wisdom | TORAH FOUNDATION (3) https://youtu.be/pU6dB6-07pwWhen people speak about wisdom someone possess, they usually imply something unified. The Chovot Halevavot begins to clarify the branches of wisdom, and how one may utilize them in this world. In this shiur we'll see the words of the early Sages, Rabbeinu Maimon and his son the RAMBAM, as well as modern science all come together to bring the words of the Chovot Halevavot to life and in order to get a step closer to understand the meaning of the degradation of the generations we hear about in the world of Torah.

Pastor Adam shares how Jesus teaches us to abide in Him as He is the vine and we are the branches.
In this episode we walk through John 15 and sort out the three different types of branches that Jesus talks about: the fruitful (pruned to produce more), the unfruitful (believers who stop bearing fruit and are set aside), and the withered (those who only look like branches but never truly trusted Him). Take a moment to pause and check to see which branch your are. Trust Jesus if you never have, and if you're a believer who's grown cold, come back to abiding in Him so real life and purpose return.

Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss. This episode is inspired by our logo—the Tree of Life. At the trunk of our tree is real food, whole, unprocessed, single-ingredient food. It grounds us. It's what we turn to again and again for nourishment and stability. From that trunk come our roots… and from those roots grow our branches: sleep, movement, spirituality, mindset, service, purpose, and all the beautiful things that make life worth living, allowing us to truly thrive, starting with the roots. In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery.

In this episode, Branches advocates Shannon and Sara unpack the growing TikTok conversation surrounding ELF Cosmetics' latest ad campaign featuring a male comedian known for his history of domestic violence jokes. Together, they reflect on the outrage sparked by his inclusion in a campaign from a brand that has often positioned itself as a champion of women's empowerment. This discussion explores how advertising choices shape culture, the harm caused when domestic violence is minimized for humor, and why companies may choose to risk their consumer base in this way. We also discuss what we, as advocates, survivors, and consumers, can do in response to the way domestic violence is presented in the media at large.
