What happens when the dream you worked so hard to build becomes the very thing burning you out? In Part Two of Luis Murcia's story, the journey continues beyond becoming a World Champion. Luis shares what happened when he opened his own cheer gym, tried to do everything himself, and learned the hard way that passion alone isn't enough to build a sustainable business. After eventually walking away from gym ownership, another unexpected challenge—COVID—forced Luis to reinvent himself again. What started as teaching himself photography and videography became LMX Digital, a growing media company now working across the cheer industry. This episode is packed with lessons for coaches, gym owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone trying to turn what they love into something that can grow beyond themselves. In this episode, you'll discover: Why trying to wear every hat in your business can lead to burnout—and the importance of building a team that allows you to focus on what you do best. How failure and unexpected setbacks can become opportunities to reinvent yourself, develop new skills, and discover your next chapter. Why scaling requires shifting from doing everything yourself to creating systems, developing people, and building something that can operate without you being everywhere at once. Hit play to hear how Luis turned some of his biggest business mistakes and setbacks into lessons that helped him build LMX Digital—and discover how you can apply those lessons to your own journey.

It's a milestone day for election 2026, with the pre-election fiscal update – Prefu, to you – staged in Wellington. Bernard Hickey emerges blinking from the lockup to assess the state of the accounts. The finance minister, Nicola Willis, has welcomed numbers showing the deficit this year and in years to come down by many billions of dollars. But how much of that is thanks to “fiscal drag”? Does it give Labour meaningful room to pursue its policies? And how likely is it really that the fiscal squabbles will be staunched?Plus: In How Good, Chris Schulz is utterly intoxicated by Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder in the trailer for You Can See Everything.At Large with Toby Manhire is produced by Te Aihe Butler, Bridget Mills and The Spinoff.

Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes — in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms.This week, they're revisiting season 2 episode 3, “Brooke's Turning Point,” where Brooke is suddenly forced into one of the messiest choices of her time on the show: dance or cheerleading.But looking back now, Kelly says that storyline was never as simple as it looked. Brooke wanted to do normal teenager things with her friends, and Kelly wanted to let her figure that out for herself. Instead, Dance Moms turned it into a full team betrayal, with Abby blaming Brooke, the group competing without her, and everyone acting like one cheer tryout could ruin the entire weekend.Christi and Kelly break down what really happened behind the scenes, why Kelly still feels bad about how Brooke was portrayed, and how producers turned a regular kid wanting a normal life into classic reality TV drama.We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube!GET TICKETS TO SEE US LIVE!Connecticut (October 2): https://ridgefieldplayhouse.org/event/back-to-the-barre-ridgefield-ct-2026New York City (October 3): https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/00006518C2C668A9Welcome to Back to the Barre, the ultimate podcast channel where Kelly Hyland and Christi Lukasiak from Dance Moms spill the tea, share the laughs, and take you behind the scenes of your favorite reality TV moments!

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's surprising praise for Islamist, Marxist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and why that "bromance" complicates the GOP's midterm message that Democrats are dangerous radicals. Bryan covers three fresh warnings of what Democrat governance looks like, from Seattle's new polyamory civil rights protections to a boatload of Chinese nationals intercepted off Florida to Rep. Ilhan Omar's bill redirecting $140 billion from ICE to illegal immigrant reparations, plus a major Finnish study confirming that gender transition treatments for kids make their mental health dramatically worse. Plus, Bryan covers a deadly US strike on a drug boat in the Caribbean, North Korean women forced into Russian factories under Ukrainian fire, a new $5 billion fund to rebuild Gulf energy sites hit in the Iran war, and fresh confirmation that rumors of President Xi's failing health were false ahead of his Washington summit.

Mike breaks down President Trump’s address to the United Nations, where Trump touted his administration’s record while delivering a blunt warning about Iran and its nuclear ambitions. But the speech is only part of the story, as Mike takes aim at CNN for showing up to cover Trump at the UN after vowing to boycott him—and then refusing to air his address to the General Assembly. That raises a bigger question for Mike: if a network can decide which presidential events its viewers deserve to see, why shouldn’t the White House decide which outlets get access? The conversation also takes an unexpected turn when Mike talks with a liberal listener about political division, the loss of respectful disagreement, and whether Americans can find common ground without pretending they agree on everything.

Apparently, not all high school activities are created equal. In this episode, I'm rating school organizations from a mom's perspective, starting with cheerleading vs. water polo. And let me just say… these two organizations could not be more different.Cheer? A well-oiled machine. Calendars, communication, uniforms, traditions, senior nights, the whole thing.Water polo? Let's just say there's a little more “wait…what are we doing?” energy. After having kids involved in different school activities, I've learned that every organization has its own personality, level of chaos, parent involvement, and completely different way of doing things.So let's rate them. Because if I'm going to spend years driving to practices, games, meetings and senior nights, I feel like I've earned the right to have opinions.Cheer vs. water polo: Which organization gets the mom stamp of approval?Listen in for the ratings and the very real differences between two completely different high school activities.#Parenting #HighSchool #Cheerleading #WaterPolo #SchoolActivities #Teenagers #MomLife #HighSchoolSports #HoustonMoms #TexasMoms

On Episode 183 of The Alan Sanders Show, Alan breaks down President Trump's address to the United Nations General Assembly, including his warnings on Iran, American strength and Arctic security. He also covers the newly signed U.S.-Denmark-Greenland security deal expanding America's military presence while affirming Greenland's status. Then Alan examines a new Center for Strategic Politics poll showing many Democratic voters would react positively to Trump's death or a military coup. The episode unpacks media reaction, what the poll reveals about political norms, and why today's headlines matter heading into the midterms.

On this inspiring episode of the Authority On Demand Podcast (formerly Authors On Mission Podcast), host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with S.R. Fabrico (Stacy Rowe)—author, marketing professional, coach, mentor, and longtime member of the All-Star Cheer community—to explore how writing, storytelling, and consistency can build lasting authority.Stacy shares one of her greatest challenges: publishing her first novel. After years of work, she had to overcome the fear of putting her manuscript in front of readers. The midnight release became a “no turning back” moment that taught her publishing is only the beginning. Authors must continue marketing, promoting, and building their brand to stay visible.Her writing process varies by genre. Novels allow creative freedom, while Pioneers of All-Star Cheer required rigorous research. Stacy conducted over 100 interviews to document the sport's history and honor its pioneers. The book, which won a 2026 Independent Press Award, combines a chronological history with personal stories, ensuring future generations understand the sport's evolution.Recognition for the book felt especially meaningful because it honored the entire All-Star Cheer community. Stacy also highlights how the sport is often misunderstood—far beyond “pom poms and megaphones,” it demands dedication, athleticism, and advanced skills. With the launch of the Pro Cheerleague, athletes now have a professional path beyond college.Her author journey also led to SRF Creations, where she helps writers with branding, websites, and marketing strategy. She warns that many first-time authors mistakenly believe the work ends at publication. Instead, she advises having a post-publication plan and focusing on one marketing platform at a time to avoid overwhelm.Upcoming projects include 10,000 Steps, a fiction story based on a true MS diagnosis, written to educate readers with input from specialists and patients. She's also developing a new Bald Head Island romance/suspense trilogy and considering a second edition of Pioneers of All-Star Cheer to include more voices.Her advice to aspiring authors: keep writing. The first draft doesn't need to be perfect—it just needs to exist. Authority is built not by one book or award but through consistent effort, branding, and the courage to keep sharing your work.Key Takeaways✍️ Finishing your first manuscript is the hardest step.

Think your cheer team has plenty of time before competition? What if you stopped counting the months and realized you only have a handful of actual practices left? It's easy for athletes, parents, and coaches to look at the calendar and think there's plenty of time to get a routine competition-ready. But three months doesn't mean three months of training, it might mean only 20 practices. And what athletes do between those practices can either reinforce their progress or undo the work they've already put in. In this episode, Jason and Gina break down why creating a sense of urgency doesn't mean panicking, it means recognizing how valuable every practice, private lesson, and opportunity to improve really is. They also get into tryout preparation, building consistent skills, staying disciplined outside the gym, and why even the most stacked team still has to earn the win on competition day. In this episode, you'll learn: Why counting practices instead of days can completely change the way athletes and coaches approach competition prep. How the habits athletes develop outside of practice can either accelerate their progress or undo the technique they've worked hard to build. Why talent, dream-team rosters, and big goals aren't enough and how discipline, repetition, and consistent effort turn those goals into results. Hit play to learn how to make every practice count, build better habits between practices, and approach your cheer goals with the urgency needed to actually achieve them.

Today we are coming at you LIVE from Pacific Crest Trail Days ("PCT Days") in Cascade Locks, Oregon! PCT Days is an annual thru-hiker gathering right on the border of Oregon and Washington - and right next to the iconic Bridge of the Gods. Here, Cheer talks with current and prior PCT hikers and asks them pointed questions about how their hike is going, or how it went if they hiked in prior years. In part 1 of this LIVE podcast, we talk to Sparkle, MacGyver, Def Pos, and Pitch Perfect.

Do you have a documentary, or do you have a Wikipedia entry?Somebody decides whether your documentary gets made. Sophia Dilley is one of those people. She runs Concord Originals, the division behind Stax: Soulsville U.S.A. on HBO, and she is Co-President of RKO, which Concord bought in June 2025 along with more than 5,000 titles including King Kong, Citizen Kane and It's a Wonderful Life. In this episode she gives away the three questions she asks before her team commits to anything.In Episode 286, Christian sits down with Sophia Dilley, Executive Vice President of Concord Originals and Co-President of RKO, to talk about how a project gets chosen, how to reach out to someone far above you, and how music rights for film work when the budget you have is the only budget there is.The spine of the conversation is a question Dilley asks before her team commits to anything: is this a Wikipedia story we're telling? If the whole thing is already available in twelve seconds of searching, there may not be a film in it. Around that sit her two other threshold questions, a working answer to why the documentary business feels impossible right now, and the plainest reassurance in the episode. "It's scary," she says. "It's scary for everybody." Along the way: a punk band that played CBGB's, a production designer father who left for set at four forty-five in the morning, Roger Deakins as a case study in how to write to someone you admire, and the difference between distribution rights and derivative rights, which is the thing almost everyone (Including Christian!) got wrong about the RKO deal. If you have ever been told that music rights for film are impossible on an independent budget, she has a different answer.In this episode, you'll learn:What Concord actually acquired when it bought RKO, and why distribution rights and derivative rights are two entirely different thingsThe three questions Sophia Dilley asks before committing to any storyHow to tell whether you have a film or a Wikipedia entryThe difference between sync and publishing, and why one song can mean two negotiations with two different companiesWhat to say to a music company when the budget you have is the only budget there isWhy a music documentary takes five years on average, and what eats the timeWhy a rejection is usually about the marketplace rather than about your filmHow to open a door with someone you admire without being, in her words, a scary, creepy fanWhat it looks like inside a company that generates most of its projects out of its own catalogCHAPTERS0:00 What Concord Actually Bought With RKO5:34 From CBGB's to Running a Studio Division11:42 Reaching Out to People Above You16:32 Why Distribution Is Scary for Everybody21:26 Who Are You Really Competing With?26:02 Music Rights for Film: Sync and Publishing29:49 Why a Doc Takes Five Years34:54 How Does She Decide What Gets Made?41:44 Women, Allies, and Your Replacement46:05 What if You Can't Afford the Song?50:05 Closing Argument and DocuView Deja VuFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHow do you get music rights for a documentary?You need permission from more than one owner. The song belongs to a publisher and the specific recording belongs to a label, so most documentaries need both a sync license and a master use license. On Stax: Soulsville U.S.A., that meant clearing more than thirty artists, multiple publishers and several estates. Concord Originals EVP Sophia Dilley says the first step is acknowledging you need those rights before you build the film around them.What if I can't afford to license a song for my film?Call anyway, and be honest about the budget. Sophia Dilley advises independent filmmakers to say who they are, name what the film was made for, show the actual scene the song would sit under, and ask directly for help. "Behind every door at every music company, there are real people," she says. A studio with a real budget cannot use that approach. A genuine independent often can.How long does it take to make a music documentary?Longer than most filmmakers expect. Sophia Dilley of Concord Originals puts the average at five years, at least. Stax: Soulsville U.S.A. began in 2018, when a colleague walked into her office with the story, and premiered on HBO in May 2024. Much of that time goes to music rights, estates and publishers rather than to production, because every stakeholder connected to the music has to be brought on side first.Who owns RKO now?Concord Originals acquired RKO Pictures in June 2025, but the deal is narrower than it sounds. Distribution rights to the classic RKO library remain with Turner. What Concord bought are the derivative rights, meaning remakes, sequels, prequels, story and stage rights to more than 5,000 titles the studio produced in-house. Sophia Dilley serves as Co-President of RKO, which continues to operate under Concord Originals.DOCUVIEW DEJA VU PICKSSophia Dilley's picks:[New York Doll](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436629/) (2005), directed by Greg Whiteley.

Concord hired her in 2018 to build a content strategy, and in 2021 she launched Concord Originals, the company's film and television division. Her father was a production designer, so she grew up on movie sets watching what the work actually costs. Before film, she thought she would go into music: piano, violin, voice lessons, and a punk band in high school that played CBGB's in New York.ABOUT CONCORD ORIGINALS[Concord Originals](https://concord.com/originals/) is the film and television arm of Concord, developing screen stories out of one of the largest independent music and theatrical catalogs in the world. Most of its projects are self-generated, which Dilley describes as the division's whole remit: take what is already under the roof and find a new life for it. Because the catalog is the source, music rights for film sit at the center of nearly every project the division takes on.Recent and upcoming work discussed in this episode:[Stax: Soulsville U.S.A.](https://staxrecords.com/news/stax-soulsville-usa-hbo-original-series/) (HBO, 2024), the four-part series directed by Jamila Wignot.

Chelsea cheer to Mansfield misery by OWTT

How will the fans react to Ketel Marte?

Mark 10:46-52 46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" 49 Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. 51 "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." 52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.  LESSON NOTES A Unique Messianic Sign: The giving of sight to a blind person is the only miracle Jesus performed during His earthly ministry that never occurred in the Old Testament. While prophets performed other miracles, restoring sight was a specific sign reserved exclusively for the coming Messiah. The Progression of Spiritual Sight: Spiritual awakening is rarely instantaneous; it often happens in stages. Just like the blind man at Bethsaida who needed a "second touch" to see clearly rather than seeing people look like "trees walking around," believers frequently move from seeing Jesus partly, to personally, to primarily. The Wrong Answer vs. The Right Answer: When asked the exact same question by Jesus—"What do you want me to do for you?"—the disciples James and John answered by seeking power, position, and prestige. In contrast, the blind beggar Bartimaeus gave the correct response: "Rabbi, I want to see." As one commentator noted, "James and John asked to be seen, but Bartimaeus asked to see." The Mercy of the Messiah: While other disciples like Peter, James, and John recognized Jesus as the Messiah, they expected Him to fulfill that role through political or military might. Bartimaeus stands out because he recognized that Jesus would establish His kingdom through His mercy, repeatedly crying out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me." The Response of Faith: When Jesus called him, Bartimaeus responded with a joyous extravagance and recklessness of faith. He instantly threw aside his begging cloak—the very tool he used to collect his daily livelihood—and jumped to his feet to go to Jesus despite his physical blindness. From the Sidelines to the Road: This account is ultimately a conversion story rather than just a physical healing. Bartimaeus went from sitting by the roadside as a helpless beggar to following Jesus along the road as a servant and a future leader in the early church. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. “What Do You Want Me to Do for You?” Imagine Jesus asking you that question personally today. What would your honest answer be? What does your answer reveal about the things you most desire right now? 2. The sermon describes the journey of seeing Jesus as moving from partly → personally → primarily → perfectly. Do you relate to this journey? Where would you place yourself on the journey? What has God used to help you see Jesus more clearly? 3. “Have Mercy on Me” Bartimaeus simply cries out for mercy. Why can admitting our need for mercy be difficult? What changes when we stop trying to appear self-sufficient and honestly bring our need to Jesus? 4. “When Jesus calls you, faith picks up the phone.” Is there an area of your life where you sense Jesus calling you to take a step of faith? What would actually “picking up the phone” look like this week? 5. Bartimaeus threw aside the cloak that represented part of his livelihood and security. What might be your “cloak”—something you rely on for comfort, identity, control, or security—that could keep you from responding fully to Jesus? 6. Bartimaeus went from sitting beside the road to following Jesus along the road. The sermon challenges us not to remain spectators but to become servants. Where are you most tempted to be a spectator in your faith? What is one concrete way you can move from watching to following this week?

How are you going to react to Tarik Skubal's return to Detroit?

Coming home from the Powerhouse Women Conference, I had absolutely nothing prepared for this week's episode.And maybe that was exactly the point.Instead of forcing myself to immediately jump back into researching, recording, creating, and checking things off my list, I let myself actually be present for the experience. And when I got home, I sat down behind the microphone without a script, without an outline, and without really knowing where this conversation was going to go.What came out was something I think I really needed to say.In this episode, I'm talking about what it has actually felt like to become more open about who I am—the crystals, the witchcraft, the spirituality, the podcast, and all the parts of myself I kept hidden for years because I was afraid of what other people might think.Because here's something I've learned: when you finally start showing up as yourself, not everyone is going to come with you.Some of the people you thought would be your biggest cheerleaders may go completely silent. Some friendships may change. Some people may not understand the version of you that you're becoming.And then, somehow, completely unexpected people show up and remind you exactly why you kept going.We're talking about finding the people who truly have your back, supporting your friends when they're brave enough to chase something they love, starting over at any age, allowing yourself to evolve beyond the career or identity you chose decades ago, and why you absolutely do not need to make yourself more palatable for other people.I also reflect on how much my own life has changed since starting Big Crystal Energy—and what this podcast really means to me now.Because Big Crystal Energy was never just about crystals.It's about having big energy for your own life.It's about waking up with something that excites you. It's about following the things that keep pulling at your heart. It's about allowing yourself to change, evolve, start something new, and become someone you couldn't have imagined being five or ten years ago.And sometimes? It's about showing up messy, turning on the microphone, and just fucking doing it.In this episode, we talk about:Refusing to shrink yourself to make other people comfortableWhat happens when the people you expected to support you don'tFinding unexpected friendships and people who truly cheer for youWhy supporting your friends' dreams matters more than you realizeStarting something new later in lifeAllowing yourself to evolve beyond the career or identity you once choseBecoming more open about my identity as a witchWhy other people are probably thinking about you far less than you thinkChoosing authenticity over being palatableWhat Big Crystal Energy really means to meWhy sometimes done really is better than perfectIf there is something sitting on your heart that you cannot stop thinking about, consider this your reminder that you do not need everyone else to understand it before you begin.You just need to have your own back.And if you need a witchy fucking cheerleader in your corner? I'm here.✨ Find me on Instagram: @bigcrystalenergy.ashAnd if you love the show, leaving a rating or review is one of the best ways you can support Big Crystal Energy—and apparently, acts of service are my podcast love language.

What if the difference between a higher cheer score and leaving points on the table isn't adding more difficulty but understanding what the judges are actually looking for? Building a competitive routine isn't as simple as putting your hardest skills on the floor. From tumbling numbers and stunt connections to formations, legalities, and execution, small decisions can have a major impact on your final score. In this episode, Jason and Gina break down the strategy behind maximizing the score sheet, including when adding more athletes helps, when it can actually hurt execution, and why coaches need to think beyond simply doing “more.” In this episode, you'll learn: How to balance difficulty and execution when deciding how many athletes should perform a skill. Why submitting stunt legalities can protect your score—and potentially save your season. What judges actually notice when evaluating tumbling, formations, transitions, and overall routine execution. Play the episode to learn how to make smarter routine decisions, protect valuable points, and build a cleaner, more competitive performance before your team hits the competition floor.

We go through the details, the good points and a few concerns in places. Elsewhere, macro is quiet and a lower oil price is helpful, but grains are on fire, in part linked to geopolitical concerns that continue to present difficult-to-quantify risks.

This Week In Startups is made possible by: Odoo https://Odoo.com/twist Quo https://quo.com/TWiST Conservation Fund https://conservationfund.org how old a movie has to be for me to be able to show a part of it on youtube Generally 10 seconds or less of a film clip can fall under fair use for commentary or criticism — which is how most podcasts and talk shows use clips without issue. But there's no hard legal rule based on age. What actually matters more than age is fair use, which considers: Purpose — commentary, criticism, education = stronger fair use case Amount used — shorter = safer; a 5-10 second clip for reaction/discussion is generally fine Effect on market — your clip shouldn't replace the original In practice for YouTube specifically: Most major studios have Content ID systems that will flag clips regardless of movie age — even 100-year-old films if the rights holder has registered them Public domain is the real safe zone — films from 1927 or earlier are generally in the public domain in the US. Some films from the 1928-1963 range are also public domain if copyright wasn't renewed Disney, Warner Bros., Universal etc. actively enforce even very old films For a show like TWiST showing a short reaction clip — 5-10 seconds with clear commentary context is the industry standard and rarely gets actioned. But age alone won't protect you. Today's show: *A humanoid robot ran the 100m in 9.39, breaking the human Usain Bolt's world record, while an entire stadium cheered.

“The breaker is come up before them.” — Micah 2:13 Inasmuch as Jesus has gone before us, things remain not as they would have been had He never passed that way. He has conquered every foe that obstructed the way. Cheer up now thou faint-hearted warrior. Not only has Christ travelled the road, but He […]

Have you ever wondered why your athlete has a skill but their coaches choose not to put it in the routine? As a cheer parent, it can be frustrating to watch your athlete work hard to master a skill only to see them moved to the back, left out of a section, or given fewer opportunities to showcase what they can do. But routine decisions aren't always about who can perform a skill, they're about what gives the entire team the best opportunity to score well. In this episode, Jason and Gina pull back the curtain on how cheer routines are actually built. They talk about the relationship between coaches and choreographers, why coaches sometimes have to remove emotion from routine decisions, and why adding more athletes to a skill section can actually create more opportunities for deductions instead of increasing your score. In this episode, you'll learn: Why adding more athletes to a skill section doesn't necessarily earn your team more points and can potentially hurt the team's technique score. How coaches and choreographers decide which athletes to highlight, where athletes are placed, and why what's best for an individual athlete can sometimes conflict with what's best for the team. Why parents shouldn't judge a new routine too quickly and how choreography continues to evolve, change, and improve throughout the competition season. Press play to get an inside look at the decisions behind your athlete's cheer routine so you can better understand why having a skill doesn't always mean performing it on the competition floor.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 6, 2026 is: torpor • TOR-per • noun Torpor is a formal word for a state of inactivity and sluggishness. It can also be used, especially in the context of hibernating and estivating animals, to refer to a state of lowered physiological activity. // The magazine offers lots of ideas for activities designed to shake off the torpor of a rainy day. See the entry > Examples: “Especially during migration in the spring and fall, bats can get tired. If they are caught in a cold snap, they can go into torpor, like a mini-hibernation, to help survive the cold period when there aren't insects available to eat for energy.” — Tara Hohoff, The Conversation, 28 May 2026 Did you know? Cheer up, sleepy Jean (or sleepy Gene)—we know what torpor can mean, and we're happy to share. Torpor can mean a few things, actually. Most commonly it refers to a state of mind and body characterized by inactivity and lack of energy, as on a torrid (no relation) summer day when one has little desire to do much more than lie around daydreaming. While people may be able to shake off torpor that sets in when the heat takes away the will to get things done, it's a bit harder for animals, for whom the word has a more technical meaning. An animal in torpor is in a state of lowered body temperature and metabolic activity, usually because of extreme heat or cold. The torpor can last a few hours or it can be months before the creature wipes the sleep out of its eyes.  Torpid, the related adjective (both torpid and torpor come from the Latin verb torpēre, meaning “to be sluggish or numb”) also has both technical and nontechnical applications, as in “torpid animals” or “a torpid economy.”
