Abby Askew hit a massive milestone last year when she bought her first home as a direct result of building her furniture flipping business and content brand, @FlippedByAbby. Now she's been taking viewers along the renovation journey, filling it with vintage treasures and DIY projects. This is Abby's story of how she started with curb alerts and Facebook Marketplace flips as a side hustle, scaled it into millions of followers across platforms, and turned the transformation documentation into income. She believes in spilling the tea, sharing the actual numbers, the strategies, the profit margins, because transparency doesn't threaten your success; it builds community. In this conversation, she walks us through how she actually monetized it, what quality furniture really looks like (solid wood vs. the stuff that won't resell), the brutal reality of comments from strangers, and why she deleted social media off her personal phone to protect her peace. Abby Askew is a social media influencer and content creator with a BFA in Furniture Design from Savannah College of Art and Design. Based in Orange Park, Florida, she built Flipped by Abby into a thriving content and business brand across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. She created online courses to help followers learn how to flip furniture for profit and maintains a blog with DIY project guidance.Connect with Abby:IGWebsiteYouTubeTikTokLinkedInCreative finds:Secondhand Spaces with Abby AskewIn this episode, we discuss:How Abby turned furniture flipping from a side hustle into full-time income and eventually homeownershipThe business side of things like sourcing, pricing, and selling, etcHow to spot quality furniture (solid wood, dovetail joints) vs. the stuff that won't moveWhy her content shifted from "making money off flips" to "documenting the transformation itself"Harsh internet comments, unsolicited ADHD diagnoses, and why she deleted social media off her personal phoneThe truth about the 17 to 1 rule, from an actual psychologist Filling her first home with intention, one small project at a time (and loving what you've made)Why she "spills the tea" about money and numbers, and why transparency on income doesn't threaten her successHouse hunting for the ultimate fixer-upper in Florida (Where the Crawdads Sing energy)Welcome to Brush & Banter—the podcast where creativity meets real-life hustle.

Ever tried driving while your eyes are glued to the rearview mirror? Not exactly a recipe for progress. If you keep replaying old rejections, you'll find yourself stuck in the parking lot of fear. But here's the thing: every 'no' you've faced has been God quietly clearing the road for the masterpiece He's about to unveil in your life.In Isaiah 43:19, God promises: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”That wasteland of old rejections? Watch God turn it into a six-lane expressway—if you'll just take that first step. Brush off those stubborn 'no's,' dust off your confidence, and walk boldly into what God has prepared for you. Believe me, your best days are not hiding in the rearview mirror.

Two weeks ago, I gave you the field report on what we're seeing in the sagebrush with the virtual fence. Last week I covered the biology, why goats eat brush, how the MFO enzyme system builds tolerance, what Cedar Eater genetics tells us about browse as a heritable trait. Today I want to talk about what all of it means for winter feeding strategy, land improvement, and why reducing purchased feed costs might be the single most important thing any livestock producer can do for their operation's long-term profitability.

Apparently, all it takes to make a normal morning completely fall apart is one Florida man, one unfortunate horse, several questionable bedtime habits, an expensive hobby or twelve, and a group of radio professionals who should probably know when to stop asking follow-up questions.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where the news is already ridiculous before we get our grubby little hands on it.Things get moving with a Florida story involving a man, a horse named Raven, and behavior that forces Rafe to remind humanity of a very important rule: we do not have to have sex with everything. That seems like something adults shouldn't need explained, yet here we are. The whole disaster also inspires “Just Joe,” the imaginary product nobody asked for but everybody immediately understands. Congratulations to marketing. Please never make this real.From there, we discover another great way to destroy your dignity: hobbies.What starts as “I think I'll try fishing” becomes a garage full of equipment and a bank account begging for mercy. Guitar, golf, aquariums, classic cars, cycling, coffee, gaming, woodworking, bowling and disc golf all get thrown into the financial wood chipper as the gang debates which innocent-looking pastime turns into an expensive lifestyle the fastest. Somewhere, a guy with 11 bowling balls just felt personally attacked.Then we crawl into everybody's bedrooms—which sounds significantly worse than it is—for a breakdown of bedtime routines. Shower before bed? Brush your teeth? Journal? Read? Scroll your phone until your brain becomes soup? Sleep with the door open? Let the pets take over the mattress you technically paid for?We learn that Rizz can apparently postpone an argument until tomorrow and immediately go to sleep, which may qualify as either a superpower or psychopath behavior. Moon has to rethink his sacred nap schedule when the kids are home. Lern wisely refuses to bring her journal anywhere near these people. King Scott reads Nancy Drew aloud to his wife. Somehow, every new detail raises additional questions.And because this funny podcast refuses to remain in one lane for more than seven consecutive seconds, summer officially gets declared dead, Moon celebrates the closing of the swimming pool he barely uses yet still manages to resent, and the crew gets into the viral US Open mess involving a CEO snatching a tennis player's hat that was intended for a kid. Nothing says “successful businessman” quite like becoming internationally famous for fighting a child over free merchandise.It's daily comedy, weird news, ridiculous personal stories, St. Louis radio chaos and pop culture commentary held together by sarcasm and whatever caffeine was available before sunrise.Basically, another completely normal edition of The Rizzuto Show.If you're looking for a funny podcast featuring Rizz and the gang taking unusual news stories, everyday arguments, celebrity and entertainment chaos, listener feedback and their own questionable life choices far more seriously than necessary, you've found your people.We apologize in advance.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

主播: Flora(中国)+Erin(美国) 音乐: Steal the Show最近在TikTok等社交媒体上,你可能经常看到一个词:Aura比如有人在评论区说:“He has so much aura.”或者:“+10,000 aura points!”看到这里,你可能会有点疑惑:01. Aura到底是什么?其实,这个词原本并不是什么网络流行语。Aura最早可以指一个人散发出来的“气场”或者“灵性能量(spiritual energy)”。但现在,在网络文化里,aura已经有了一个非常不一样的意思。简单来说:Aura = how cool you are (你有多酷)它甚至有点像游戏里的一个characteristic(角色属性)。也就是说,你的aura似乎是可以“加分”或者“扣分”的。If you stay cool and nonchalant, you gain aura points.如果你表现得很酷、nonchalant(满不在乎的、淡然的),你就可能获得aura points(气场值)。反过来,如果你做了一件很尴尬的事情,或者表现得太在意别人的反应,就可能:Lose aura points(失去气场值)所以你会经常看到这样的网络评论:“+10,000 aura points.” “气场值加一万!”或者:“Bro has infinite aura.”Infinite(无限的),也就是:“这兄弟气场拉满了!”当然,这套“气场评分系统”本身就是一种非常silly(搞笑、无厘头的)网络玩法。但它背后其实有一个很有意思的逻辑:Having aura is looking cool without trying.有aura,往往意味着——你看起来很酷,但你没有刻意表现自己很酷。比如,一个篮球运动员投进了一个几乎不可能进的球。所有人都在欢呼,而他只是:投完球,转身,走开。完全没有庆祝和炫耀。就好像:“No biggie.” “没什么大不了的。”这种行为在网络上就很容易被评价为:“That is peak aura behavior.”“这就是气场拉满的行为。”所以,aura有时候并不只是“你做了一件多厉害的事情”,而是:你做了一件很厉害的事情,却没有表现得特别在意。接下来,我们就来看看:到底什么行为会让你gain aura points(增加气场值)?以及——什么行为会让你lose 10,000 aura points(直接损失一万点气场)?02. What Gives You Aura? 哪些行为会让你增加Aura?既然aura可以“加分”,那什么样的行为会让你gain aura points(增加气场值)呢?第一个例子,绝对是经典中的经典。想象一下,你正在看一场篮球比赛。有人投进了一个难度极高的球——那种“怎么可能进!”的球。全场观众都在欢呼。但他呢?投完之后,只是:Turn around and walk away (转身就走)。好像刚才只是随手投了一个普通的球。这就是典型的:Peak aura behavior (气场值拉满的行为)TikTok评论区可能马上就会出现:“+10,000 aura points!”或者:“Bro has infinite aura.”Infinite(无限的),也就是说:“这兄弟气场已经无限了。”为什么这种行为会被认为很有aura?因为它同时满足了两点:You did something impressive.你做了一件非常厉害的事情。但与此同时:You don't care about the applause.你又没有表现得特别在意大家的欢呼。所以,aura真正有意思的地方就在这里:It's not just about being impressive.不仅仅是“厉害”。而是:Looking cool without trying.看起来很酷,却没有刻意表现自己很酷。03. How You Handle Embarrassing Moments 如何面对尴尬时刻?不过,aura不仅体现在你“做成了一件很酷的事情”时。有时候,一个人有没有aura,反而要看:How you handle embarrassing moments.也就是:你是怎么应对尴尬时刻的。比如,你走进教室的时候,一个不小心——Bang!直接撞上了门。然后整个教室的人都看着你。这时候,大多数人的第一反应可能是:“Oh my gosh! Sorry! I'm so sorry!” 然后尴尬地走开。这当然完全没问题。但如果是一个“有aura的人”呢?他可能只是:Shrug it off and keep walking.Shrug it off (不把它当回事、轻松带过)。什么都不解释。面无表情。继续往前走。就好像——Nothing happened.“刚才什么都没发生。”这种“装作毫不在意”的处理方式,在网络上就特别容易被评价为:“That's aura.”当然,这里面其实有一点“表演”的成分。因为有时候,一个人并不是完全不尴尬,而是在努力表现出:“I don't care.”“我根本不在乎。”这也就引出了后面一个非常有意思的概念:Aura farming (刷气场)不过在聊这个之前,我们再来看一个非常现实的例子。04. When a Compliment Costs You Aura 被夸的时候,为什么反而可能Lose Aura?假设有人对你说:“Wow, your English is really good!”“哇,你的英语真好!”你怎么回答?如果你只是:“Thanks.”然后自然地继续聊天。恭喜你。You just gained some aura.但如果你马上开始解释:“Oh really? I actually studied English for eight years, and I got a 7.5 on IELTS, and I also lived abroad for...”说到这里——You are losing aura.哈哈。为什么?因为你:Trying too hard(太用力了、刻意表现)。对方只是夸了你一句,你却急着证明:“我的英语好是有原因的!”“我学了八年!”“我雅思7.5!”“我还在国外生活过!”当然,这些经历本身都没有任何问题。不过,这显得:你太急着证明自己值得这个夸奖。而在aura的逻辑里,真正“有气场”的人往往不会急着解释。They just take the compliment and move on.接受夸奖,然后自然地继续聊天。所以在网络语境里,这时候可能就会出现:“-500 aura points minimum.”Minimum (至少)。“最少扣500点气场值。”你越想让别人觉得“我很酷”,有时候反而越容易:Lose aura.而真正的aura,往往来自一种:“I'm comfortable with myself.”“我对自己很自在。”的状态。05. What Makes You Lose Aura? 哪些行为会让你Lose Aura?前面我们说了什么行为会gain aura points(增加气场值)。但说实话,losing aura points(掉气场值)的例子可能更好笑。而且很多时候,真的非常有代入感。第一个例子:你讲了一个笑话,但没人笑。全场安静。空气突然凝固。这本身已经够尴尬了。但如果这时候你还补上一句:“You know, it's supposed to be funny because...”“你知道吗,这个笑话本来是因为……”完了。Your aura is gone.因为一个真正“有aura”的人,这时候不会拼命解释。Just let it die and move on.Let it die(让这件事自然过去),然后继续往下走。不要解释。不要试图挽救。不要说:“你们怎么都不笑?”更不要开始解释自己的笑话到底哪里好笑。否则评论区可能直接出现:“Bro just lost 10,000 aura points.”“兄弟直接掉了一万点气场。”所以有时候,knowing when to stop(知道什么时候该停下来),本身也是一种aura。还有一种非常经典的losing aura moment(掉气场时刻):Trying to look cool... and completely backfiring.Backfire (适得其反、弄巧成拙)。比如:一个人戴着太阳镜走在街上。步伐缓慢。表情冷酷。目光看向远方。整个人仿佛在拍电影。Very main character.Main character(主角)原本是影视剧中的“主角”,但在网络语境里,也经常用来形容一个人表现得仿佛自己是整个世界的主角。结果——Bang! 直接撞上路灯。那一刻:Aura going into the negatives.气场直接跌到负数。而且还不只是“掉光了”。There is nothing left. “已经什么都不剩了。”甚至可以说:You are going into debt for how much aura you lost.“你这气场已经亏到负债了。”哈哈,这就是aura文化特别有意思的地方。它把一个非常主观的东西——“气场”——硬生生变成了一个游戏里的score(分数)。而说到这里,就不得不讲一个和aura非常相关的词:Aura farming.06. Aura Farming “刷气场”到底是什么?如果说gaining aura(增加气场)是让自己看起来很酷,那么还有一种更“刻意”的玩法:Aura farming这里的farming原本有“耕种、养殖”的意思。在游戏和网络语境里,farming也可以理解成通过不断重复某种行为来“刷资源”“刷经验”。所以:Aura farming = 有意识地“刷气场”也就是一个人非常明确地通过一些行为,让自己看起来更酷、更有魅力、更有气场。比如想象一下:一个人开始到处戴着太阳镜。走路特别慢。每一步都走得非常有目的。很少笑。总是微微抬着头。目光永远望向远方。整个人看起来:Very cool. Very mysterious (神秘的). 但你看着看着就会发现:Wait... are you trying to look cool? 这就是:Aura farming. 说白了就是在“表演”:“I don't care.”“我根本不在乎。”以及:“I'm effortless.”“我完全没有刻意。” 但最有意思的是——You're trying very hard to look like you're not trying. 你其实非常努力地在表现:“我一点都没在努力。”而且通常大家一眼就能看出来。这时,你完全可以开玩笑地说:“Bro is aura farming.” “这兄弟在刷气场呢。”不过,aura farming并不一定是吐槽。有时候它其实也可以带一点欣赏。比如有人真的很努力地营造自己的风格,而且最后确实:They do look cool.那你说:“He's out here aura farming.” 既可以理解成:“他又开始刷气场了。”也可以带一点:“虽然你确实很刻意,但不得不说,还挺帅。”所以它是一种很典型的互联网表达——A joke, but also kind of a compliment.既是玩笑,又不完全是在嘲讽。而这也说明了一件很有意思的事情:Aura isn't just about looking cool. 它其实越来越和:Confidence (自信)以及:Being comfortable with yourself (做自己时感到自在) 联系在一起。真正有aura的人,并不一定是永远完美、永远冷酷的人。有时候反而是:你出了糗,也不慌。你被夸了,也不急着证明自己。你做错了,也能brush it off(不把它当回事,轻松带过),然后继续往前走。所以,aura farming可能是在“努力制造气场”。但真正持久的aura,可能恰恰来自:You don't have to perform. 你不需要一直表演给别人看。你只是舒服地做自己。而这可能才是这个网络梗背后最有意思的一层。07. The Real Aura 真正的Aura是什么?聊到这里,你可能会发现,所谓的aura,其实并没有一个真正的标准。有人投进一个超级难的球,转身就走:+10,000 aura points.有人讲了一个冷笑话,没人笑,还非要解释:-10,000 aura points.有人戴着墨镜、慢悠悠地走路,努力营造一种“我根本不在乎”的感觉:Aura farming.但如果我们把这些网络玩笑放到一起,会发现它们其实都在反复强调一件事:Confidence.自信。以及:Being comfortable with yourself. 对自己感到自在。真正的aura,可能并不是你看起来有多酷,也不是你有没有一直保持一个“完美形象”。而是当一些尴尬的事情发生时,你能够:Brush it off and keep going.Brush it off(不把它当回事,轻松带过),然后继续往前走。下次如果你在TikTok评论区看到:“+10,000 aura points!” 你就知道是在说:“这也太有气场了!”如果看到:“-500 aura points.” 那就是:“刚才那一下,气场掉了。”而如果有人说:“Bro is aura farming.” 那可能是在说:“这兄弟又开始刷气场了。”欢迎在评论区告诉我们:什么行为在你看来最有aura?又有哪些行为,会让一个人瞬间:Lose 10,000 aura points?
Techniques like dead drops and brush passes only work because most people simply aren't paying attention to what's happening around them. This episode uses classic espionage tradecraft as a lens for understanding blind spots in everyday awareness — how misdirection works, what gets missed in plain sight, and why trained observers catch what everyone else walks past. It's a practical look at sharpening your own situational awareness by studying the methods designed to defeat it.

Lacey Hennessy's art career started with painted fraternity coolers at Clemson and a Facebook business page she named during accounting class. Years later, one Instagram post about wanting to paint a mural led to a taco restaurant project that paid the equivalent of one month of her corporate salary in three days. In this episode, Lacey explains how she grew that experiment into Lacey Does, a commission-driven business with more than 300 murals and a client process built around clear expectations. She breaks down her “box method” for matching a mural's scope to the client's budget, why she collects 50% before beginning the design, and how detailed contracts helped other muralists take over her scheduled projects after a colorectal cancer diagnosis. Lacey also shares the hands-on Instagram strategy that grew her audience, her plans to build income beyond murals, and how she protects roughly 10 weeks each year for travel. Plus, why it would take a truly unreasonable amount of money to get her painting fraternity coolers again.Lacey Hennessy is the Greenville, South Carolina-based artist, muralist, and entrepreneur behind Lacey Does.

Holistic, biological, functional — is there actually a difference, or is it all just marketing?Are root canals really dangerous — or is that just what the algorithm keeps showing your patients?When a patient wants their sound fillings out, do you test, reassure, or drill?And how do you bring sleep, diet and blood tests into a dental appointment without it stopping being dentistry?This episode sits down with Dr James Goolnik (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/james-goolnik)— clinical dentist, founder of the London holistic practice Optimal Dental Health, past President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and one of Jaz's earliest mentors. James openly calls himself a holistic and biological dentist, which makes him the ideal person to separate the thoughtful, evidence-aware end of this world from the online extremism that gives it a bad name. Expect a balanced, honest conversation: some of it you'll adopt tomorrow, some of it you'll want to pressure-test — which is exactly the point.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Dentistry Isn't Just About Fixing TeethThis one isn't a clinical tip — it's a sentiment that frames the whole episode. Dentistry isn't just about fixing teeth; it's about improving health. You don't have to agree with every claim made in biological dentistry — but you will struggle to disagree that a patient's diet, sleep, breathing, stress and inflammation all influence oral health.So the pearl is simple: stay curious, stay open-minded — but stay critical, and never stop asking better questions.What You'll Take From This EpisodeThe holistic–biological spectrum — what each word actually means, and where thoughtful practice tips into online extremism.Test or reassure? — the three-question filter for deciding whether any test earns its place before you order it.Safe amalgam removal — the SMART protocol, and when a worried patient's sound filling should be left well alone.The mouth-body connection — how sleep, glucose control and systemic inflammation affect the mouth, and where to refer.The balanced take on root canals and implants — whether root canals are dangerous, and titanium versus ceramic with metal-allergy testing.Highlights of This Episode00:00 Teaser00:59 Holistic vs Biological Dentistry: What's the Difference?05:49 Why Listening Beats Perfect Margins in Dentistry10:29 Why Patients Started to Doubt Root Canal Treatment12:09 Mercury Fillings: Should You Remove Amalgam?14:09 The SMART Protocol for Safe Amalgam Removal19:59 The Mouth-Body Connection: Sleep, Diabetes & Alzheimer's24:59 How to Build Nutrition Into a Dental Practice26:25 Midroll34:01 Sleep Tests, Glucose Monitors and Blood Tests in Practice38:21 Is Biological Dentistry Dangerous?

With Bring Out Your Lead falling through this year, a determined crew decided the show would go on regardless. Jason had a huge narrative Warhammer Fantasy campaign ready to hit the table, so rather than wait, the group arranged a room above a pub in Nottingham, dubbed the event BOYL Gits, and got on with it.And what a table (twenty-four feet by six!!) staging the Siege of Karak Spork in full.Jason's mountainside and mine dominated one end, Calum turned up a striking 3D-printed assault fortress knocked out in just twelve hours (with help from Stuart, who drove hours just to lend a paintbrush for the afternoon), and Ben's painted human settlement, dropped off before he flew out to Peru, filled the space in front.The whole thing split naturally into three separate scraps: a siege at the gate, an inner-hold fight, and a relief force pushing across open ground, all painted to a standard the lads clearly took real pride in. One block of a hundred or so pikemen got singled out as a highlight in its own right.Plenty of good chaos followed: undead cavalry running amok, a stolen Skaven steam tank going spectacularly out of control and taking out a chunk of wall along with a wyvern rider, and Nagash putting Orion firmly in his place after a duel running to eight rounds of combat.These showcase games are becoming a real fixture for the Bedroom Battlefields community. If you fancy getting involved in the next one, come and join us on Discord, that's where it all gets planned!Also… GenCon!The second part of the episode features another event report, this time from GenCon 2026.

Ralph Friedman is the most decorated detective in NYPD history — with 2,000 on-duty arrests, 5,000 additional assists, and 219 awards — and in this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he finally tells the complete truth about what policing in New York City's most dangerous precincts really looked like from the inside during the most violent and most lawless era available. Stationed at the South Bronx's notorious 41st Precinct — known as Fort Apache — he served during one of New York City's most dire periods, recording 2,000 on-duty arrests, 5,000 additional assists, and 15 shootings — four of them fatal — before a rookie in a radio patrol car T-boned his passenger door at high speed on August 1, 1983, leaving him with 23 broken bones including a pelvis broken in four places and a shattered hip that forced him into medical retirement at 34. He shares what the Bronx streets in the 70s and 80s really required of the officers working them, what criminals putting hits on him actually involved, the worst things he ever saw on the job, and what the stories from a career that produced the most decorated record in NYPD history actually sound like from the detective who lived every one of them. _____________________________________________ #NYPD #cops #truecrimestories #police _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ Connect with Ralph Friedman: https://www.bronxstreetwarrior.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Detective Ralph Friedman 00:22 Reflections on a Legendary Career 01:08 How He Became a Cop 03:25 First Day in the Bronx 04:34 An Officer's Gear in the 1970s 06:16 The Mental Toll of Policing 07:47 Public Respect and Deterrence 10:00 Case: Stopping a Justifiable Homicide 12:53 Public Sentiment Today vs. Back Then 15:08 First Arrest and Early Impressions 17:04 Specialization and the Black Liberation Army 19:34 Daily Danger and Chaos 22:40 Corruption and the Knapp Commission 24:16 A Rookie's Brush with Corruption 27:43 Changing Views on Women in Policing 29:57 Path to Detective 33:05 Plainclothes Work and Tactics 35:31 Shootout in the South Bronx 41:17 Aftermath of a Shooting 43:31 Close Calls and Street Survival Tips 47:20 Quirky Emergency Service Stories 51:03 Old School vs. Modern Training 53:52 Detective Work and Arrests 58:40 A Typical Day as a Detective 01:02:32 Taking Down a Gun and Grenade Cache 01:05:05 Reputation and Informants 01:07:55 Riding with Friends and a Street Crew 01:12:40 The Worst Call of His Career 01:14:40 When the System Fails 01:16:51 Fitting In with the Squad 01:18:04 Off-Duty Life and Arrests 01:21:28 The Attempt on His Life 01:27:07 A Date with an Assassin 01:29:25 The Trap Unfortunately Foiled 01:30:42 The Emotional Weight of Taking Lives 01:32:28 Respect eroding in Society 01:35:10 Detective Ranks Explained 01:38:41 Handling Bosses and Paperwork 01:40:41 The Frances Tavern Case That Haunts Him 01:45:40 Fighting Layoffs 01:48:41 The Accident That Ended It All 01:53:20 Recovery and the Next Chapter 01:58:40 Life Advice from a Legend 02:00:00 Final Thoughts and Thanks _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka
Richard Tuttle talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Tuttle, who was born in 1941 in Rahway, New Jersey and grew up in nearby Roselle, lives today in New York, Abiquiú, New Mexico, and Mount Desert, Maine. He combines elements of drawing, painting, sculpture, artist books, printmaking and textiles, often arranged in lyrical installations, yet does not settle in any one discipline or medium. Pushing and pulling between different forms and modes, and between two and three dimensions, he has developed a singular response to architecture, which is often activated in unexpected ways by the placement of the objects he makes and their arrangement in spatial compositions. And while the meaning of the works is often as elusive as their form, they offer poetic enticement for their audience through a delight in broad and often humble materiality and a fertile relationship with different forms of language. Tuttle is seen as a leading figure in Post-Minimalism and certainly contributed to the liberating approach to form, matter and content unleashed by that tendency from the 1960s. But any attempt to neatly categorise his output is profoundly inadequate and limiting. Experiencing his exhibitions, one feels part of a philosophical response to the world, a questioning of what it is to inhabit it and what it might mean to make art in it. As Richard himself said in 1975, “if the artist does a piece of real work and we see it, it's as though we ourselves are doing it”.He discusses the fundamental importance of drawing to all his work and how the line he uses “is not a pure line like most people would think. It's actually the edge of something.” He reflects on art's relationship with the viewer and community, and art's role as a positive force in the world. He expresses his admiration for Van Eyck, for Nam June Paik, for his friend and mentor Agnes Martin, and for Philipp Otto Runge, the German colour-theorist and Romantic painter. He also discusses reading great works of literature in their original language and his love of architecture. He gives insight into life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Richard Tuttle: Half Light, now open and on long term view at Dia Beacon, Beacon, US; Richard Tuttle: Small Sculptures of the 1970s, Modern Art, Bennet Street, London, 3 September-3 October Hosted on Acast.

Dawoud Bey talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Bey, who was born in 1953 in New York, makes photographs and film installations that address the experience of Black people in the US, from the horrors of slavery via racist violence and the Civil Rights era to intimate moments in contemporary life. He began his career as a photographer in the 1970s with the consistent aim to work as an artist rather than a photojournalist. While he was celebrated from the start for his depictions of people and communities, he has always had a particular sensitivity to place, and after several decades in which portraiture and street photography were dominant strains in his practice, his work over the past decade has focused mostly on landscape. But even when they are not physically present, those who have lived in and travelled through the places he depicts are as much part of the photographs' and films' subject as the environments captured by his camera. He has said of recent series, for instance, that he wants to capture the landscape as seen and felt by the enslaved people who moved through it, and a profound sense of empathy underpins all his output. “This notion of the radical Black imaginary,” he explains, “is the foundation or place that my work springs from.” He discusses how his background in jazz and how it has influenced his art-making, his term “subjective opticality” and what it tells us about the camera and the perspective of the photographer, and the importance of photographs as objects. He reflects on the early influence of Roy DeCarava and John Coltrane, who continue to impact his thinking today, his early fascination with Rembrandt, his work with David Hammons and friendship with Torkwase Dyson, how he has responded to Toni Morrison in his recent photographic series, and the ongoing influence of Michael Roemer, the film-maker with whom he studied. Plus, he gives insight into life in the studio and asks our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Dawoud Bey: Material Histories, Living Landscapes, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada, until 4 July 2027.

According to Lutheran Service Book, the commemoration of St. Monica falls on August 27 each year. To give you enough time to source ingredients for Erin's delicious St. Monica Buns, we're sharing this episode from August 2024 to inspire your ideas for a St. Monica Day Party! Who exactly is St. Monica? How does one celebrate her? To answer these questions (and more), the Party Planning Committee is back! Monica, mother of St. Augustine of Hippo, is remembered today as an example of faith, patience, and godliness in the face of complicated family relationships. In this episode, Rachel briefly tells Monica's inspiring life story before suggesting an appropriate menu and party plan befitting the saint's fabled austerity — featuring vegetable porridge, bread, water, loud weeping, and all-night prayer vigils. Thankfully, Erin and Sarah intervene with a much more festive set of ideas, including Erin's original recipe for St. Monica buns (see below) and Sarah's home-grown party games: pin the collect on the saint, “Aqueducts and Leviathans” (a fun “Shoots and Ladders” spinoff), and, of course, a hymn sing. St. Monica's Buns Recipe by Erin Alter Makes 12 buns (can easily be doubled) Dough ½ c (117 ml) milk, any kind, lightly warmed 1 ¼ t (½ packet) instant yeast 2 T (25 g) granulated sugar ¾ t salt 1 large egg 4 T (57 g) butter, softened 1 ¾ c (227 g) flour Filling 3 T packed brown sugar ¼- ½ t cinnamon Scant 1/8 t ground ginger Good pinch of salt 2 peaches, pitted and diced Garnish Milk Turbinado sugar Directions Whisk together warm milk, yeast, sugar, and salt a large bowl. Whisk in eggs. Add softened butter, chunked up. Use Danish dough whisk to incorporate flour. Stir vigorously for the duration of one of your favorite songs (ideally 4-6 minutes; the song will help it go faster). The dough will be smooth but still extremely sticky. This is proper. Transfer the whole mess into an oiled bowl big enough to hold it when doubled. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and from here there are two possible schedules: Method 1: Let the dough rise at room temperature until it just shy of doubles, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer dough to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. It is impossible to work with this dough when still at room temperature; don't even try. Method 2: Let the dough rise in the fridge a minimum of 8 hours, and up to 2 days. It will be just about doubled when it comes out. From this point, you are now back on the same track, regardless of your rising method. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a muffin tin. Combine brown sugar, spices, and salt. Mix in the diced peaches. Set aside to get juicy. On a well-floured counter, divide the dough in quarters, and then divide each quarter into 3 pieces, so you have 12 pieces of dough. Roll each piece of dough into a ball. On a well-floured counter, use a rolling pin to flatten it out into a circle, ~ 4 inches wide. Add flour as needed to keep it from sticking. Work fairly quickly, so the dough doesn't get too warm. Holding the circle of dough in your palm, add two heaping spoonful's of the peaches to the center. Gather the edges of the dough up around the sides, forming a little nest. Nestle the nest into the muffin tin and repeat. If you have extra peaches at the end, you can see if there are any buns that you could scoop a little more into. Brush the dough edges with a little milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool at least 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin and serving. Optional: Serve with crème fraiche. Note: If you add extra peaches to a bun, don't let the peaches heap up over the dough much at all. If you do, they will probably overflow in the oven and you will have delicious buns that are very, very sticky to eat and an extremely messy pan to clean. And non-overflowed buns are just as delicious, and much more pleasant to eat. Crème Fraiche Combine 1 c heavy whipping cream with 1 heaping T sour cream in a container with a tight fitting lid. Shake for 15 seconds (don't turn this to butter!). Leave it on the counter for 24 hours, covered. Stir it 2-3 times during that time. It will become thickened (similar to yogurt, but not nearly as thick as Greek yogurt) and delicious. Note: If your kitchen is too cold, it won't thicken.

Katharina Grosse talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Grosse, who was born in Freiberg im Breisgau, Germany, in 1961, sees painting as an expansive field, which might be explored on canvas, but also directly on gallery walls, on vast textile hangings, on sculptures and natural forms like earth and trees brought into the gallery, as well as in public space and even directly onto the landscape. Using an industrial spray gun, she sees colour as a material, and creates dense swaths of rich hues that form dazzling relationships and absorb and often surround the viewer. Whatever form her work takes, it clearly evokes Katharina's choreography of gestures as well as representing a response to and creation of architectural space. Seeing painting as a medium that reflects and simultaneously articulates the world, Katharina invites an active response from her viewers, as much bodily as it is visual. She discusses how making her work immediately meets with “feedback” from the surfaces and environments in which she is acting, how she is “at home in flow” when working across multiple pieces, and how she employs colours as a cluster, always in relation to one another. She reflects on the early impact of choreographer Pina Bausch, her residency at Edvard Munch's former studio at Ekely in Norway, the physicality in the paint of Lovis Corinth, the “razor-sharp sentences” of the writer Annie Ernaux and her fascination with Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, and the inspiring vision and “ecology” of the film-maker Agnes Varda. Plus, she gives insight into life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Katharina Grosse: Black Bed, MUNCH, Oslo, 26 September-31 December.

Follow Smart Travel wherever you get your podcasts. Smart Travel Podcast Show Notes and Episode OverviewIn this episode, we travel deep into British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest — a 6.4‑million‑hectare expanse of fjords, islands, river estuaries, and ancient forest — to witness one of the planet's rarest animals: the white‑furred Kermode bear, known to the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation as the Spirit Bear. Fewer than 150 are believed to exist, making any encounter feel improbable, almost mythical.Our guest, travel writer James Ross, recounts his journey aboard the historic tugboat MV Swell, an intimate expedition vessel operated by Maple Leaf Adventures. His story takes us from the docks of Kitimat into remote estuaries, salmon‑choked creeks, and wildlife‑rich channels where bears, whales, sea lions, and otters animate one of Earth's most dynamic ecosystems.Key Moments from the EpisodeThe Search for the Spirit BearJames describes the quiet, reverent approach to Riordan Creek on Gribbell Island, guided by Marvin Robinson of the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation. The group waits silently on viewing platforms as the last salmon fight upstream — a ritual that draws bears from the forest.Then it happens. A pale figure emerges from the trees:“A bear suddenly appeared, its creamy fur luminous against the dark shoreline.”The Spirit Bear moves with deliberate grace, fishing with what James calls “an old ceremony,” lifting her head with a salmon in her jaws as water streams from her muzzle. She glances toward the group — aware, but unbothered — before returning to the hunt.A Brush with Black BearsUpstream, James encounters a black bear sow and cub approaching within ten feet. Marvin's advice: stay calm. The bears pass by, focused entirely on salmon. It's a moment of exhilaration and humility in the presence of wild animals.Life Aboard the SwellThe Swell becomes home for the eight‑day voyage — a restored 88‑foot tugboat with six cabins and a crew of five, including a whale scientist and a South African chef.

Few people have turned adversity into opportunity as dramatically as Kelly Brush.Brush was on the Middlebury College ski team when she was paralyzed in a ski racing accident in 2006. Twenty years later, Brush is a leader of a national movement to empower people with spinal cord injuries.“I'm so glad that I'm able to do that and support … thousands of other people that I don't even know and their families and create things that just feel a little bit better,” Brush told me.I asked Brush what enabled her to stay positive following her accident.“Whenever something happens in life, you have a choice on how you respond,” she replied. “Even when there's things that are really hard or really sad, you feel that, and then you make the choice to move you forward in a good direction.”Brush has mixed feelings about people calling her an inspiration. If “an understanding of who I am and what I've done creates inspiration, that's great. But not the inspiration that comes just because I exist and I'm in a wheelchair.”Brush is concerned about how people with disabilities are especially vulnerable to delays or cutbacks in health care. She has personal experience of this: she recently had to undergo major back surgery and had to seek care in an emergency room when her primary care provider couldn't see her for several weeks.“People with disabilities have greater health care needs,” she said. “When the health care system isn't set up well, we are then paying more for those greater needs. I see it time and again with complications that come from spinal cord injuries.”Brush, who recently turned 40, is the founder and spokesperson for the Kelly Brush Foundation, which grants about $1 million per year to people with spinal cord injuries to purchase adaptive sports equipment and maintain an active lifestyle. Its best known fundraiser is the annual Kelly Brush Ride, which draws nearly 1,000 bike riders and will take place this year on Sept. 12 in Middlebury. There are also Kelly Brush Rides in Park City, Utah, and the Bay Area.Brush is especially proud of the community that she and her foundation have helped build. “When I got hurt, I didn't know anybody else with a spinal cord injury,” she said. Now her foundation connects people with spinal cord injuries with one another. “There's something really different about being able to build community with people who are doing things similarly to you, as well as just the ability to feel seen and be seen by other people who are living a similar life to you outside of adaptive sports.”Brush lives in Charlotte with her two young daughters. She worked for 10 years as a pediatric nurse practitioner, but is taking a break from that to lead her foundation and look after her children.I asked Brush what she hopes people take away from her story.“To be excited about the fact that I've been able to live such a full life and continue to have all the same highs and lows that so many people have and I do it from my wheelchair,” she replied.“I definitely have some more struggles than others. But my life is awesome and really fun. I hope people can see that and see the beauty in life, no matter what comes up and what happens, and find and follow that.”

FINALLY! The DOGGZZONE gives you what you truly want... an ALL FRANK DUX PODCAST SERIES. Jason Pargin, Seanbaby, and Robert Brockway brave the blood stained pages of "The Secret Man" in what may be the longest runing podcast of all time. *THROATPUNCH*
It's Wednesday, July 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus India looking to restrict foreign funding of Christian groups India's Parliament is considering a bill to restrict foreign funding of Christian and other faith-based groups. The measure would allow authorities to seize the assets of such organizations if their registration is canceled. Officials have already canceled the registrations of over 22,000 non-governmental organizations. Republican Congressman Chris Smith of New Jersey is calling on the Trump administration to address this issue with India. He wrote, “If adopted, the bill would sharply expand the ability of the Indian state to seize the property and assets of groups that receive foreign funding — the vast majority of these being Christian churches and charities, such as hospitals and schools.” According to Open Doors, India is the 12th worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. In John 10:10, Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japanese island A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japan's southern island of Kyushu yesterday. The quake caused a collapse at a shopping mall, killing several people. Dozens of people are missing or injured. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency advised over 260,000 people to evacuate the area. Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority reported no issues with nearby nuclear power plants. Please pray that God would comfort the Japanese families of those who have died and restore those who have been injured. Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence The U.S. Senate voted on July 28 to confirm Jay Clayton, who was nominated by President Donald Trump to be the next Director of National Intelligence, reports The Epoch Times. Clayton's confirmation by the Senate came after the Senate Intelligence Committee voted 9–8 along party lines on July 21 to advance his nomination. He was ultimately confirmed with 51 senators' support to 47 voting against. SENATOR: “On this vote, the yeas are 51, the nays are 47, and the nomination is confirmed. And the president will be immediately notified of the Senate's action.” Previously, Jay Clayton served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York as well as the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission under President Trump's first administration. Justice Department affirmed parents' right to disciple children The United States Justice Department issued religious liberty guidance to all executive departments and agencies last week. The memo reaffirmed many religious freedom protections in federal law. It also added a new piece of guidance. The memo stated, “Parents have the right to direct the religious upbringing and education of their children. This right extends beyond a mere right to teach religion in the confines of one's home and encompasses the choices parents make for their children outside the home.” In Deuteronomy 6:6-7, God said, “These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” Drinking water in three cities contained Abortion Kill Pill A new peer-reviewed study found that the drinking water in multiple cities contained the Abortion Kill Pill called Mifepristone. Those cities include Austin, Texas; Blacksburg, Virginia; and Carbondale, Illinois. For years, pro-life groups have been calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to track Mifepristone. Kristan Hawkins with Students for Life of America stated, “A study inspired by [our] clean water advocacy shows that our concerns are valid. In three cities where water was tested, the active metabolites of Mifepristone, the Chemical Abortion Pill, were in the water. We need the EPA to nationalize this examination, especially in light of so many struggling with infertility.” About 700,000 chemical abortions each year send long-lasting abortion drugs and human remains into America's wastewater systems. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, thus starving the baby. This drug has long-lasting metabolites that remain in the water because the water treatment plants are generally not capable of filtering out these chemicals. GOP Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois has introduced the Clean Water for All Life Act. Appearing on EWTN, Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life, said this. HAWKINS: “Mothers are taking these pills at home, in their dormitories, and when they are told when the cramping gets too severe to go on the toilet and to keep flushing and not to look -- meaning chemically tainted placenta and blood, as well as the human remains of our child, are being flushed in our waterways. And when you think about the fact that you're talking over 700,000 abortions a year are happening this way, this means, at a minimum, 50 tons of chemically-tainted blood and placenta are being flushed down our toilets with human remains every year, laced with anti-progesterone metabolites, which, shockingly, after they pass through the mother's body, starve the child and kill the child, do not go inactive. “They actually remain active as they pass through our water system. And is what we've tested across the country is that this water -- it's actually laced with these metabolites before they get to the wastewater treatment plant, after it passes through the wastewater treatment plant, and now we've proven it's actually in the tap water.” Through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com, you can send faxes to Congress and demand they take action to stop this public health threat. Or you can contact your two U.S. Senators and your U.S. Congressman by email, phone or letter to the district office nearest you. (Because mail sent to the D.C. offices of U.S. Senators and U.S. Congressmen has to go through so many scans, it can take months to get there). Voters want political candidates to address the economy The U.S. midterm elections are coming up in November. Pew Research surveyed voters on what issues they want candidates to address. The top issue was the economy. Voters are especially concerned about affordability and the cost of living. Americans are evenly divided over which party they agree with on economic policies. If the election were held today, 43 percent of respondents said they would back a Democrat candidate for Congress. Meanwhile, 37 percent said they would back a Republican. Younger churchgoers want more liturgy in worship service Lifeway Research released a survey on liturgy in worship services at Protestant churches. Liturgies can include elements like set prayers, readings, and formal patterns. Forty-two percent of churchgoers say their church has some of the liturgical style. Twenty-seven percent say they have no liturgical style. And 24 percent say they have a very liturgical style. Seventy-five percent of respondents said they are satisfied with the amount of liturgy at their church. Thirteen percent want more liturgy, while five percent want less. Surprisingly, younger generations are more likely to want their church to include more liturgy. California lifeguard saved 10-year-old boy NBC Bay Area reports a lifeguard saved the life of a 10-year-old boy at a California beach this week. Waves were overwhelming the boy at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. A 16-year-old lifeguard rushed into the water to save him. Other joined in as well. The dramatic rescue drew the attention of President Donald Trump. He wrote on X, “We're going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it!” Worldview listeners weigh in from Oregon and North Carolina Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes newscast, Carole Crowley in Damascus, Oregon wrote, “Adam, I love starting my day with The Worldview. I love praying for specific needs of people throughout the world, using God's Word! Thank you so much for your love and dedication to our Lord and bringing the needs of others to us.” Julie Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina, who attached a picture of her addressed letter, said, “Adam, I wanted to show you that, as a result of your July 9th newscast, I wrote a note to Suzanne McCormick, President of the Young Men's Christian Association, objecting to the YMCA allowing men, pretending to be women, in women's bathrooms and locker rooms. In fact, I grabbed several note cards and put stamps and our return address sticker on them so I am poised for action! [You can join her and send a letter: Suzanne McCormick, President, Young Men's Christian Association, 101 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.] “I also phoned the office of my U.S. Congressman and asked him to vote to continue to defund the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. Thank you for including the link.” Minnesota college student gave $500 to help fund newscast And Maylivia in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, whom I spoke with on the phone last night for 20 minutes, wrote, “Adam, my family and I listen to The Worldview every morning. If I'm around when my dad, also named Adam, is preparing and eating breakfast, we listen to it on repeat about six times, literally. He says he doesn't want to miss any of the details. Now, if he's already gone to work, I listen to it on my computer with the transcript, but only once. My mom and sister also listen as part of starting their day. We love having a concise wrap-up of the news, especially for updates on persecuted Christians. “Considering that my family uses it so much, I've decided to give $500. I am a college student, living at home, working part time. This money is partly from my savings and partly from my tutoring business. I was hesitant to give at first. But God laid it on my heart and reminded me that He can provide for all my needs and my parents are providing many of them for me right now! Thank you for your newscast. May God guide the team in His wisdom and remind you of the hope of the cross.” 19 Worldview listeners gave $7,597 And finally, by Tuesday night at 8:00pm Central, 19 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Kelly in Montgomery, Texas who gave $10, Cathy in Fate, Texas who gave $15, and Paul in Brush, Colorado who gave $25. We appreciate Sarina in Barnwell, Alberta, Canada and Dan in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada – both of whom gave $100, as well as Kevin in North Bend, Oregon, Eric in Castle Rock, Colorado, and George in Edinburgh, Indiana – each of whom gave $200. We're grateful to God for Steven in Plainview, Texas and Richard in Lometa, Texas – both of whom pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300 as well as Israel in Yuma, Arizona who gave $347. And we were touched by the generosity of Ed in Wellsburg, Iowa who pledged $30/month for 12 months for a gift of $360, Frances in Beacon, New York who gave $500, Maylivia in Eden Prairie, Minnesota who gave $500, Danny in Abingdon, Virginia who gave $500, Kimberly in Lebanon, Oregon who gave $500, Mary in Highland, New York who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Stephen in California, Maryland who pledged $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200, and our friend in Naples, Florida who generously matched the 4 donors who gave $500 with a gift of $2,000. Wow! Those 19 gifts add up to $7,597. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $79,344 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $44,156 by midnight on Friday, July 31! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by this Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $44,156 in order for the six-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. So, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it! We could really use your help. The finish line is in just 2 days! Count ‘em. Two! Would you consider being one of 20 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months or give a one-time gift of $1,200, one of 16 people to pledge $50/month for 12 months or give a one-time gift of $600, or one of 32 people to pledge $25/month for 12 months or give a one-time gift of $300?

One artist joined the voting push with 26 votes while another submission had more than 300. Another almost skipped the application altogether. In this Golden Brush Awards roundtable, Eugene O'Neill, Sophie Groenstein, Julia Kenyon, Sydney Rae, and Sabah Bardhan unpack the decisions behind five winning pieces: painting a monumental portrait of Buddhist nun Jun Son while working until 2 a.m., layering exterior house paint to create a saturated hometown portrait, earning a client's trust for bright orange-and-blue peacocks, experimenting on the wall to recreate coffee-watercolor texture, and wrestling with a human figure and one particularly stubborn set of hands inside a Denver restaurant. The recognition gave each artist fresh evidence that the risky idea, unfamiliar technique, or last-minute submission was worth following through.Eugene O'Neill, Sophie Groenstein, Julia Kenyon, Sydney Rae, and Sabah Bardhan are the artists behind five winning projects from Zibra's 2025 Golden Brush Awards.

Set oven to 190°C and lightly butter 2 baking trays.Whisk the egg, buttermilk and vanilla together and add to the flour mixture Mix to a soft dough and place on a floured surface. Knead gently. Roll to 2cm thick and cut into desired shapes and place on baking trays.Brush the top with egg yolk and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden, risen and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.Strawberry and elderflower jam 500g strawberries 500g jam sugar or granulated sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 elderflower heads If the strawberries are large, cut them in half. Put the strawberries and lemon juice into a large pan. Heat for a few minutes to soften, add the sugar and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the elderflower heads. Once the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is clear, boil steadily for about 6 minutes, or until at setting point. To test if the jam is at setting point, spoon a little onto a cold plate, leave for a minute and then push the jam with your finger. If the jam crinkles and separates without flooding back, setting point has been reached. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the elderflowers. Spoon into sterilised jars, label and seal with wax paper and a lid.Split the scones, add some jam and a little clotted cream.

Send us Fan MailWhen the National Park Service added hydrogen peroxide to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the internet immediately decided it had found the culprit behind the peeling coating.But science doesn't work that way.In this episode, Rudy Stankowitz takes a research-first approach to one of the most discussed pool stories of the year. Instead of asking whether hydrogen peroxide caused a coating failure, he asks a different question:Why was hydrogen peroxide chosen in the first place?Drawing from published scientific literature on cyanobacteria, harmful algal blooms, microbiology, biofilms, and water treatment, Rudy explores how hydrogen peroxide affects microorganisms, why mature biofilms are so difficult to eliminate, and why swimming pool professionals may need to rethink the way they've approached "black algae" for decades.This isn't a product pitch.It isn't a treatment recommendation.And it certainly isn't clickbait.It's an evidence-based discussion designed to separate what science has demonstrated from what still remains a hypothesis.The episode also introduces the first part of Rudy's proposed research protocol—a hypothesis assembled from published mechanisms that has not been validated in controlled swimming pool research—and explains exactly where established science ends and new investigation begins.If you're tired of opinions masquerading as facts, this episode is for you.In This EpisodeWhy the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was treated with hydrogen peroxideWhy concentration matters more than percentageCorrelation versus causation in coating failuresWhat published research says about hydrogen peroxide and cyanobacterial bloomsThe difference between free-floating algae and mature cyanobacterial biofilmsHow extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) protect biofilmsWhy oxidants often struggle against established biofilmsThe biology behind oxidative stressPhotosystem II, lipid peroxidation, and cellular damage explainedWhy mature biofilms deserve to be studied separatelyWhy Rudy believes better questions lead to better scienceThe first step in a proposed research protocol using aluminum sulfateWhy coagulation and physical removal may reduce oxidant demand before disinfectionWhere the published literature ends—and where hypothesis generation beginsKey TakeawayScience advances by asking better questions—not by rushing to conclusions.This episode doesn't claim to have solved black algae. It challenges listeners to examine what the published research actually supports, recognize the limits of current knowledge, and think critically about where future swimming pool research should go.SponsorsSpecial thanks to the companies that support education and the advancement of the swimming pool industry:Blu-ray XLUnited ChemicalLaMotte CompanyRevved Up ApparelAqua Comfort Water GroupAquaStar Pool ProductsJack's Magic ProductsService Industry NewsConnect with Talking Pools

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about... Why trying harder often makes tooth brushing harder, and what to focus on instead. The surprising reason lowering your expectations in the short term can actually lead to better long-term habits. How to tell whether your child is resisting because of autonomy, sensory sensitivities, or something else entirely. Why treating tooth brushing like learning a brand-new skill, no matter your child's age, can completely change your approach. Simple ways to use play, exposure, and curiosity to help your child feel more comfortable with brushing. Small changes to your routine that can dramatically reduce bedtime power struggles. Creative ideas to make tooth brushing feel less threatening and more engaging, even for children who have fought it every step of the way. Whether your child refuses to open their mouth, insists on brushing independently, or runs away the moment the toothbrush comes out, this episode will help you move away from daily battles and toward a calmer, more connected approach that builds cooperation over time.
