Most event professionals can tell you exactly what will happen on stage at any given time. Yet far fewer can tell you exactly what would happen if someone collapsed in the ballroom. Stay tuned as Eric tackles emergency preparedness and security. Emergency Preparedness A 70-page emergency manual that nobody has opened in two years is documentation, not a system. Emergency preparedness starts with the people responsible for responding, not with a binder, processes, or SOPs. Everyone needs to know their role and be ready to act when an emergency happens. Know Who Does What You need to know who makes the decision, who communicates, who executes, and who takes over if someone is unavailable. If you can answer those four questions, you have a true emergency preparedness plan you can act on immediately if something happens. Medical Emergencies For a medical emergency, decide who calls the emergency services, who contacts the venue, where the AED is, who manages the surrounding attendees, who goes with the individual, and who stays on site. It's essential to discuss that before an emergency actually happens. Safety and Security You need to know who is defined as a suspicious individual, what constitutes a threat, who makes the decision, who gets called, and what happens if there is civil unrest or you need to evacuate. Your event team is not law enforcement, so you also need to establish when control transfers to venue security, police, the fire department, or other authorities. Lead by Example If something unforeseen happens, inform the people in charge, lead by example, and support your client. Everyone needs to communicate and be aligned on the action to be taken, with one person making the final decision. Planning You need a plan for hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, wildfires, and other events that could disrupt a meeting. Decide who makes the decisions, what the plan B is, what the hotel will do, what insurance is available, and what everyone involved will do. Technology and Cyber You need to know what happens if your registration disappears, the internet goes down, attendee data is compromised, your payment system stops working, the app fails, or somebody hacks the system. You also need to consider whether your meeting can continue manually if your technology fails. Business Continuity Owner-dependency problems must also be addressed. Think about what happens if you, as the business owner, are unavailable. Who has access to the bank? Who can authorize payment? Who has the passwords? Who handles communication? Who is running the company? Communication During an emergency, people become desperate for information, and if they don't have it, they create it. Define who communicates internally, who speaks with the client and attendees, who deals with the media and law enforcement, who contacts families, and who is not authorized to communicate publicly. Organizational Dependencies Ask your team to imagine what would happen if you disappeared for the next seven days. If you couldn't call, text, or email, and they couldn't ask you a single question, what would they be unable to do? Their answers will help you identify the organizational dependencies that need to be addressed. A Simple Plan For each major risk, define the trigger, who leads the response, the first three things to do, who needs to be involved, who needs to be informed, who communicates, and who takes over if the designated person is unavailable. Keep the Plan Current Your plan needs to be a living document that reflects your experience, your tests, what you are learning in the industry, and new issues that can happen. Circumstances, the environment, and people change, so you need to review the plan regularly and train your team. Test the Plan After writing a plan, you need to test it. Create a scenario, present it to your team, and watch what happens. The more realistic and unexpected the example, the better you can see who takes control and who is the right person on your team to respond. Build a Business That Can Handle Almost Anything The objective is not to have a plan for everything, but to build a business that can handle almost anything and a team that is ready to act in any situation.

One day a pool product feels like the future. The next day the app is gone, support is gone, and what you paid for becomes a paperweight floating in the deep end. We dig into the real-world side of pool industry acquisitions and “disappearing” brands, including what happens when big companies buy promising pool technology and the execution doesn't match the hype.We walk through Hayward's Fin smart pool monitor and why the marketing and user experience created problems for homeowners and pool service professionals alike. ORP and pH readings can be useful, but confusing “unsafe water” alerts, a recurring subscription, and a hard shutdown of app service can destroy trust fast. From there, we compare Sutro's more complete reagent-based pool water monitoring approach, then zoom in on the practical hurdles that can sink any smart pool monitor: cartridge logistics, calibration time, price point, and the brutal reality of pool seasonality in colder regions.Not every story is a loss. We talk about pool products that simply vanished despite working well, like the Skim Doctor 2.0, and how solar skimmers like Solar Breeze evolved into Ariel and related models while facing heavy competition. Then we get into acquisitions that reshaped the market, including the CMP salt cell system being effectively discontinued, versus buyouts that preserve goodwill, like Pentair keeping Pleatco alive and Fluidra leaving Taylor test kits largely intact.If you've ever wondered which pool brands survive, why great products get killed, and what that means for your pool route or your backyard, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share the episode with a pool pro friend, and leave a review with the smartest pool product you've ever used.We break down pool industry buyouts and product failures that leave pool owners and pool pros stuck with discontinued gear and dead apps. We also highlight the acquisitions that keep brands intact and protect customer trust. • Hayward's Fin smart monitor, ORP confusion, subscription pain, and a shutdown that strands users • Why smart pool monitors still struggle to replace proper water testing • Sutro's stronger readings with reagent cartridges, calibration time, and seasonal subscription problems • The Crystal Water Monitor as a more robust evolution of the Fin concept • Skim Doctor 2.0 as a rare skimmer add-on that worked but disappeared • Solar Breeze, Ariel, Skimbot, and how competition and implementation shape survival • Fluidra buying CMP salt cells then effectively discontinuing the full system • Pentair and Pleatco as a model for keeping a brand alive • Fluidra and Taylor test kits, what changes and what stays the same Learn more at swimmingpoollearning.com.

The four-stall site uses ABB Mobility all-in-one dispensers delivering up to 400 kW with NACS and CCS1 connectors and app-only payment, part of a rollout that added 612 stalls in the first half of 2026 and ranked second only to Tesla for new ports energised in Q2, at an average $0.43 per kWh with 10% off for Walmart+ members.HYUNDAI OPENS IONIQ V PRE-SALES IN CHINABeijing Hyundai has begun pre-sales of the Ioniq V at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show ahead of a September launch, priced from 119,900 yuan (about $17,300) to 139,900 yuan across three versions, with up to 650 km of CLTC range, an 800-volt E-GMP architecture, CATL LFP batteries of 53.5 or 66.8 kWh and single motors of 140 or 168 kW. It is the first production Ioniq developed in China, using a 27-inch 4K Snapdragon 8295 screen, Momenta highway L2+ assistance and Baidu and ByteDance AI infotainment, as Hyundai targets 20 electrified models and 500,000 annual Chinese sales by 2030.POLESTAR CLAIMS UNEQUAL US TREATMENTPolestar has accused the US Commerce Department of "disparate treatment" after a June 24 denial blocked its American sales from model year 2027, noting that Volvo — which shares Chinese majority owner Geely and builds the Polestar 3 on the same South Carolina line — was authorised earlier in 2026. In an Aug. 18 letter, Peter Wexler said the 13-month review dismissed mitigation offers including audits, cybersecurity reviews and removal of China links from data management, despite officials indicating in January and April that approval was likely; dealers have called the outcome devastating, with a New Jersey group suing for $25 million over an allegedly concealed US withdrawal.DUTCH PLUG-IN MARKET FAVOURS RICH HOUSEHOLDSStatistics agency CBS found that the Netherlands' shift to electric cars has mainly benefited wealthy households, with the top-earning 10% buying almost 75,000 of the roughly 259,000 electric and plug-in hybrid cars traded in 2025 and the top 20% accounting for nearly half. The lowest-earning 10% bought about 6,000, or 2%, and two-thirds of cars bought by the poorest fifth were over a decade old, prompting a €52 million, three-year subsidy scheme from the final quarter of 2026 for lower- and middle-income buyers of second-hand EVs who scrap older petrol or diesel vehicles.MERCEDES CLA ELECTRIC COVERS 385 MILES AT 70 MPHThe dual-motor 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 350 4MATIC Electric covered 385 miles in a constant-speed 70 mph range test on 19-inch wheels, exceeding its 312-mile EPA Combined rating by 73 miles, or 23%, with 2 miles remaining at 0% charge. Consumption of 225 Wh per mile implied 86.6 kWh used against an 85-kWh net battery, with the result credited to the 800-volt Mercedes Modular Architecture and a two-speed rear-motor transmission of the type that has also helped Porsche and Audi models beat their ratings.OPEL SETS 2028 DATE FOR ELECTRIC CORSAOpel CEO Florian Huettl has pushed the all-electric Corsa successor from 2027 to 2028, moving the brand's best-seller onto Stellantis' STLA Small platform as a battery-electric-only model with bigger batteries, more range and prices from €25,000, against the current e-CMP Corsa Electric's 46-49 kWh battery, 429 km claim and €30,440 starting price. Huettl cited improving range, charging and fuel costs rather than any fixed date to end combustion engines, and Opel will still deliver the e-CMP-based Corsa GSE, capable of 0-100 kph in 5.5 seconds, to dealers this year.ROME BACKS ELECTRIC AND HYDROGEN BUSESRome will spend €117 million from Italy's infrastructure ministry on new buses through operator ATAC, split between €83.6 million for hydrogen models and €27.1 million for battery-electric ones plus depot upgrades, though neither quantities nor manufacturers have been named. A further €6 million in European funding will build a green hydrogen hub using local electrolysis at ATAC's Acilia site, complementing a charge introduced in July 2026 for EVs entering a restricted central zone that takes about 50,000 cars a day against a designed capacity of 20,000.SUZUKI PLANS VISION E-SKY EUROPE EXPORTSuzuki intends to export its Vision e-Sky electric microcar from Japan, with Europe possible in 2027 and the UK and Italy under review at an expected UK price below £20,000, ahead of a Japanese world premiere in autumn and production at a plant southwest of Tokyo. Based on Japan's kei-car class and targeting 310 km of range with likely LFP cells from BYD's corporate network, it would be Suzuki's first battery-electric kei car and reportedly the first exported almost unchanged, offering growth potential after European sales fell 15% to 187,000 in the year to March.MEXICO ELECTRIFIED SALES RISE AS PRODUCTION FALLSMexico sold 95,037 electrified vehicles in the first half of 2026, up 44% year on year for a 12.6% market share, led by Toyota in conventional hybrids and boosted by expanding Chinese brands, while charging points reached 60,934 and 170 electrified models are now offered. Production moved the other way, falling to 47,411 units from 110,002 a year earlier as weaker US demand cut Equinox output by 81.6% and Blazer output by 80%, prompting the Electro Mobility Association to call for policies supporting both electrification and domestic manufacturing.ELECTRIC MOTORHOME USES EVOLVE PLATFORMCityFreighter, Vöhringer and Motive Development have unveiled an electric motorhome demonstrator for Europe's 4.25-tonne Class B category, built on CityFreighter's Evolve skateboard with a Vöhringer AIRPLY lightweight interior and coming in under 3.5 tonnes complete with kitchen, bathroom and heat pump, leaving about 750 kg of payload. Its 128-kWh battery gives roughly 400 km of range, supports vehicle-to-load and charges from 10-80% in about 20 minutes at up to 200 kW, while independent battery replacement and upgrades are pitched as protecting residual value in vehicles that often stay in service for decades.
Brian Trzaskos emphasizes that manifestation works best when aligned with one's purpose and involves service to others rather than selfish goals. It's important to understand manifestation is an ongoing process happening unconsciously through beliefs, which can be identified by examining life results, particularly unwanted outcomes. Key discussion points: people are constantly manifesting their lives whether consciously or unconsciously the importance of focusing on "how" rather than "what" when trying to manifest goals letting go of limiting beliefs and finding communities where people feel they truly belong focus on the principles of creation and daily actions toward better health the need to find communities where individuals can be their authentic selves to achieve optimal health and manifestation capabilities shedding limiting beliefs creates physiological and energetic freedom focusing on internal states rather than external problems leads to both personal well-being and positive ripple effects in the broader world Brian Trzaskos, PT, LMT, SBMC, CSCS, CMP, MI-C, is a somatic science expert, co-creator of the trauma-sensitive Sensation-Based Motivation Coaching method, and co-author of Manifestation for Dummies.

Send us Fan MailIn-office lab is one of the most common ancillary additions practices consider, and one of the easiest to get expensively wrong. Part one of two: the framework that decides everything before you spend a dollar. What CLIA is. The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, passed in 1988 and administered by CMS, govern all lab testing on human specimens. Every test your practice runs on a patient sample requires a certificate. Which certificate you need depends on the complexity of the test, not on what you would like to do. The three categories. Waived tests are simple enough for FDA-approved over the counter use: strep, flu, COVID antigen, dipstick, glucose, pregnancy. A Certificate of Waiver runs about $150 every two years with no routine inspection, and the compliance standard is following the manufacturer's instructions exactly. Moderately complex covers CBC, CMP and UA with microscopy, and requires a designated lab director, documented competency, daily QC, proficiency testing and routine inspection. High complexity is hospital and reference lab territory. Getting certified. Confirm your exact analyzer model and test kit are on the CMS waived list, file Form CMS-116 with your state or MAC, expect two to four weeks and about $150, then build your policies and train your staff. Only then buy equipment. CLIA number first, equipment second. The four questions. What are you already referring out that you could run yourself? What does your patient population need at point of care? What is your payer mix for these test types? And do you have the staff capacity and the discipline for the compliance program? The strongest business case is for tests that change the same-day clinical decision. Three actions this week Pull your reference lab orders for the last 90 days and group them by test type. That list is your candidate menu, and it is real demand rather than a projection. Look up your exact analyzer model and test kit on the CMS waived test list at cms.gov before you take a single vendor call. Name who would own the compliance program, and ask them honestly whether they have the bandwidth to do daily QC consistently.

In this episode, we speak with CMP's Hank Gray, who tells us more about one of the core aspects of the Civilian Marksmanship Program: education. Gray arrived at the CMP after a long career within the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit and a full career that included national-level successes and even a few trips to the Paralympic Games as coach of Team USA. Now, he's working to expand and improve our educational offerings through existing outlets and new initiatives already in the works.

Every trim gets a large touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, BlueCruise, bidirectional charging, a digital key, a native NACS port and the first embedded Apple Maps navigation, with pre-orders and the full reveal due in early 2027 and customer deliveries later that year.CALIFORNIA'S MYFIRSTEV REBATES START PAYING OUTCalifornia's MyFirstEV programme has begun paying out $3,500 off a new EV and $1,750 off a used EV at the point of sale, funded by $135.5 million from the state matched by $135.5 million from manufacturers for a $271 million pot that could support more than 73,000 clean vehicles, with new vehicles capped at $50,000 MSRP, used at $25,000, and buyers required to attest they have never owned an EV. The caveats are significant: the price caps do not apply to California-headquartered makers Lucid and Rivian, carmakers choose which models and trims qualify, CARB judges eligibility on base-trim MSRP so pricier variants like the Model Y Performance still qualify, and used EVs must be certified pre-owned from franchised dealerships and at least two model years old.BMW STARTS I3 PRODUCTION IN MUNICHBMW began series production of the i3 at Plant Munich on 6 August, making it the second Neue Klasse model to reach series production after the iX3, with orders opening in mid-June and demand forcing an unusually steep ramp-up curve. Plant Munich head Peter Weber said the launch cuts manufacturing costs by a further 10% through forward planning, supplier collaboration, targeted automation, digitalisation and the Neue Klasse architecture, with the First Edition priced at €75,340 ($87,100) and the later base i3 50 xDrive at €65,900 ($76,180).ŠKODA STARTS PEAQ PRODUCTION IN MLADÁ BOLESLAVŠkoda Auto has started series production of the Peaq, its largest and most expensive electric model, at Mladá Boleslav, where it shares a line with the electric Elroq, electric Enyaq and combustion Octavia Combi, allowing output to shift between powertrains as demand changes; the model went on sale in June and had almost 8,500 orders by the end of July. Batteries are assembled on site, with a 91 kWh gross/86 kWh net pack offering more than 640 km (398 miles) of range and a smaller 63 kWh gross/59 kWh net pack starting at €49,990 (about $58,000).CHINESE BRANDS GAIN GROUND IN GERMANYChinese brands took 3.8% of German registrations in the first half of 2026, up from 2.2% in 2025, achieved in Europe's largest car market while overall demand stayed flat. Research from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand found Korean-brand owners most open to switching, with nearly one in two considering a Chinese model and one in five certain to buy, against nearly one in three of Japanese-brand owners and roughly one in four German-brand owners, though the German figures are not presented on a comparable basis and stated intent does not prove actual defection.ROYAL MAIL HITS 9,000 ELECTRIC VANSRoyal Mail has taken delivery of its 9,000th electric van, assigned to the Colchester Delivery Office, in what it calls Britain's largest electric delivery fleet, with 44 delivery sites now diesel-free and almost a third of routes zero-emission. The programme began in 2017 with an order for 100 vans and is justified by lower running and maintenance costs on short urban rounds, and now extends beyond the last mile with the first electric HGV added in December 2025 and more than 100 micro electric vehicles being deployed across the UK.KIA PV5 TAKES 37% OF EUROPEAN MARKETKia's first electric van, the PV5, arrived at the end of 2025, beat the company's own launch forecasts and now holds 37% of Europe's small electric van market according to ACEA data, leading its segment in 12 countries including the UK and Germany across Passenger, Cargo and Chassis forms. In Britain the PV5 Cargo leads all electric vans on 2026 registrations to date, and July brought Kia's first four-figure electric van month with 1,019 registrations, split 784 Cargo and 235 Passenger.ARNOLD CLARK ADDS £8.99 CHARGING SUBSCRIPTIONArnold Clark has launched an £8.99 ($12) monthly subscription on its Arnold Clark Charge network, available only through Octopus Electroverse, cutting ultra-rapid charging to 39p/kWh from the 55p/kWh standard tariff, a 16p/kWh saving that repays the fee at roughly 56kWh a month or about one and a half fills of a mid-size battery. The move carries weight because Arnold Clark is Britain's largest independent dealer group, with 140 service centres, 16 accident repair sites, 38 rental branches and Central Car Auctions, and recently reported annual revenue above £5.56bn ($7.5bn) with new-car sales up 11.2% in 2025 on the back of new EV franchises.VAUXHALL CORSA GSE STARTS AT £32,995Vauxhall has priced the electric Corsa GSE at £32,995 ($44,400) after the UK Electric Car Grant, with order books opening in September and first deliveries due in winter. Built on Stellantis's electric hot-hatch version of the e-CMP platform and shared with the Opel Corsa GSE, it uses a 207 kW (278 hp) front motor for a claimed 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds, making it the quickest-accelerating production Vauxhall on sale and the most powerful Corsa ever, and positioning it as successor to the Nova GTE/GSi, Corsa GSi and Corsa VXR.NEW YORK TO ADD 600 CURBSIDE CHARGERSNew York City's Department of Transportation plans to add 600 curbside charging points to the PlugNYC network across all five boroughs over three years, lifting public curbside Level 2 points from 88 to 688, with each site carrying at least two posts and four charging points plus spare electrical connections for future e-mobility uses where grid capacity allows. Priority goes to dense neighbourhoods with little off-street parking and high numbers of taxi and ride-hailing drivers as well as low- and moderate-income communities, with Commissioner Mike Flynn tying the scheme to the Mamdani administration's 2050 net-zero goal, while a separate expansion at municipal parking facilities will add 92 fast and 180 Level 2 charging points procured and built by the New York Power Authority.One flag worth raising: the Ford story contains an error in the source copy — "$29,945, or £22,30" is a malformed sterling conversion. Also, your instruction was two sentences per story, but several of these items carry more load-bearing detail than two sentences comfortably hold; I've kept to two, but the Ford and California summaries in particular are doing a lot of work in single sentences and would read better at three or four if the format allows it.

With printed holsters thinking of getting one. So which model of bambu should I be looking at? Also do I need AMS? I am cheap so probably only 2 models I am seeing so comes down to do I need or want the enclosed one. Question from Alex W. from Florida Dear WLS: Hey y'all. If all of our hopes and dreams were to come true and we could get mail order machine guns to our doors, what (other than boatloads of fun) do you think the most valid use for civilian full auto is? I was thinking maybe a select fire/burst fire subgun for home defense? Belt feds on pigs? Alex W. Question from Dependable Don from New York Dear Wls Dependable Don Why don't you just invite Lenny on so the Jeremy could just point to him when he he needs the needs a n bomb dropped? Question from Rob K from Connecticut Rob K From ConnecticutDear WLS The State of Connecticut has banned Glock and Glock style pistols starting on October 1st 2026. I don't own one, but now that the state is telling me I can't buy one, I need to spite purchase. I'm interested in picking up 2 Glock models and 2 Glock style pistols. If you were only able to own 2 Glocks, what would your suggestions be for gen and model? Also, what make and model of 2 Glock style pistols. Thanks guys. #stuckbehindenemylines WINNER Question from Travis from ILLINOIS Dear WLS this is Travis from not the people's republic of Illinois. Love the show you and all the content. Shawn over the past few shows you have mentioned your Kelby rifle. What do you like and not like. Would you do anything different. I personally don't know anyone who owns one and looking to purchase one for potential PRS matches. Thanks Travis Question from Anonymous Coward from Florida Dear WLS: Hey y'all. I was thinking, with the growing apparent popularity of “pdw” setups for pistols, I was wondering why no manufacturer seems to produce a factory firearm that fits that sort of form factor (other than sig selling factory 320's already in a raider chassis). The closest things I can think of currently would be the B&T TP9 or their USW. But I'm wondering why no one else is tapping into the whole oversized 9mm pistol with a brace/stock market trend. Has the industry just not caught up or is there a reason companies are not moving in that direction? Gun Industry News Guns CMP to Sell Military Surplus M14 Rifles The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) announced it will sell a limited number of surplus U.S. military M14 rifles (7.62 NATO) produced 1959-1965 by H&R, Springfield Armory, TRW and Winchester. The rifles, from the total production run of 1.38 million, have been permanently modified to semi-automatic configuration to comply with ATF regulations and CMP enabling legislation for .30-caliber rifles. Sales are expected to use a lottery system and begin in late 2026 to early 2027.

Simultaneously, Ramp has been actively courting Davidson's Inc. in Arizona with business development emails as recently as July 22, 2026. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey and Attorney General JB McCuskey are investigating, noting potential violations of the state's FIND Act, a Trump executive order on fair access to banking, and OCC/FDIC rules prohibiting discrimination against lawful firearm businesses. The Gist: The Gist: Ramp denied payment processing to Kent Cartridge (WV) after NSSF discrimination report but sent ongoing outreach emails to Davidson's Inc. (AZ) as of July 22, 2026; state officials investigating for violations of WV FIND Act, Trump EO, and federal banking rules. Impact: Market Impact: Affects firearm and ammunition manufacturers and retailers seeking reliable payment processing; creates uncertainty for gun industry businesses in states with protective laws.

Dumping Gatorade on a coach's head started as an act of revenge in 1984 and somehow became a $22-a-box industry of electrolyte powders you may not even need. In this episode, we're heading to mini medical school to break down what electrolytes actually do, how your kidneys and brain quietly keep them in balance without you lifting a finger, and why that balance can fall apart with sweat, fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. We'll talk about: What's really in your CMP lab panel (and why it matters) The unsung heroes: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and bicarbonate Why some people are salty sweaters (literally) and others aren't The truth about Liquid IV, Pedialyte, Nuun, and med spa IV drips - what's worth it and what's just marketing A golf-course cramping story that taught me this lesson the hard way If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle wondering whether you actually need electrolytes or just need water, this episode is for you. Healthy balance looks great on you so tune in to find out where you land.
If you listen to this podcast then you care about people and planet and how we make it through this potential crunch point when all our crises mash together. But what if you knew you were not alone? What if you knew that almost everyone in our culture cares about this, they just don't know what to do about it? They don't have what this week's guest, Dr Liam Kavanagh, calls the 'Victory Stories' to show how we made it through. Liam is a founding Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project, an organisation that has worked since 2022 to extend climate action beyond the vocal minority of activists to the concerned but quiet majority. His social science background informs CMP's theory of change and strategy. He began his career as an applied economist in New York and Tanzania. Motivated by questions about ideology and cognitive dissonance in political economy, he completed a PhD in Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego. In 2016, he co-founded Life Itself, a European polycrisis-response network (we spoke to Sylvie Barbier from Life Itself a few weeks ago), and has authored two books and numerous reports. His latest reports: Mobilising Silent Majorities is one of the must-reads of this year. Please do download and read the pdf - at least the executive summary. This is a long, detailed, dynamic look at how many people really do care about the polycrisis. As he says, 'Across society, many people recognise serious risks—climate disruption, inequality, instability—but these concerns often stay private. The report identifies six “silent majorities” whose hidden views could shift what feels politically possible:The climate-concerned majority – Most people see climate change as a serious threat but rarely talk about it in daily life.The climate-concerned business majority – Business leaders see climate risks but hesitate to speak publicly.The reticent scientific majority – Scientists privately worry about worst-case scenarios but communicate cautiously.The decline- and collapse-concerned majority – Many fear overlapping crises, yet these concerns are rarely voiced.The depolarising majority – Citizens who favour cooperation over conflict are often drowned out by louder, polarising voices.The intrinsic-values majority – People prioritise family, community, and wellbeing, but economic pressures often prevent these values from guiding their lives.When concern remains unspoken, it appears weaker than it is. And when people feel alone in their worries, silence becomes the apparently safest choice.But it doesn't have to be like this. What if we were able to speak up in our communities of place, purpose and passion and let other people know they're not alone? That we are, in fact, a huge, huge majority? What if we were able to seed ideas out into the conversations that are happening on- and off-line so that we all acknowledge the system is not fit for purpose and all have good, workable ideas of how to fix it? What if we embodied the 'Victory Stories' of this time and transformed our future? It's all to play for now, and here's someone with the ideas at his fingertips. Enjoy!

SYNGAP1-related disorder negatively impacts synaptic signalling during critical periods of brain development, leading to a range of cognitive, epileptic, behavioural, and motor symptoms. In a new episode of the pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh spoke with Kelly Gold, CFO of CAMP4 Therapeutics, about antisense oligonucleotides (or ASOs) - medicines designed to selectively restore natural protein production in diseases caused by gene under expression. Gold discusses the space and CAMP4's CMP-002 study, targeting the regRNA associated SYNGAP1 gene.

Following the tragic loss of her brother and a total breakdown of communication during a severe hurricane in Fairview, 14-year-old Chloe Button dedicated her Girl Scout Gold Award project to building community resilience. She assembled waterproof natural disaster packs containing radios, chargers, flashlights, and maps of Fairview and North Carolina, distributing them to local churches and fire stations. To ensure the project's success, Chloe attended classes to earn her own official radio certification, providing her community with a reliable way to call for help and coordinate mutual aid when power grids and cell towers fail. More from Chloe: I am a Freshman at AC Reynolds HS of Asheville. I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten in GSCP2P. I successfully completed my Girl Scout Gold Award by developing "Communication Disaster Packs" with an action plan to assist my local fire stations and churches through any future natural disaster. During the course of my project I also became licensed by the FCC for Amateur and GMRS radio communications. I am currently ranked 3rd in NC State for Marksmanship through the American Legion and JROTC and CMP programs in the sporter class. I also raise chickens and placed 3rd at the WNC State Fair in 2025. Last, I am a 3 time Youth Fishing Champion for Biltmore Estate. After HS graduation in 2029 I hope to earn my Bachelors in Criminal Justice and Forensic Anthropology with a minor in Psychology then pursue a career as a Crime Scene Investigator.

What does it actually take to diagnose REDs, and what happens after? If you've ever wondered what's going on behind the scenes when a sports medicine physician suspects REDs, this episode is your inside look. Host Heather Caplan, RDN, sits down with Dr. Rosa Pasculli, a non-operative sports medicine physician based in Atlanta, to walk through the full medical picture: how REDs gets diagnosed, what labs actually matter and why, and what treatment looks like in practice. It's a masterclass in multidisciplinary care, and a reminder of just how important it is to have a physician on your team who knows how to ask the right questions. Dr. Pasculli is a former competitive dancer turned sports medicine physician with a particular clinical interest in bone stress injuries and REDs. She is the head team physician for Emory University, overseeing 450+ varsity athletes, and serves as a consulting physician for the Atlanta Ballet, the Georgia Ballet, and the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders. She also sees runners, weekend warriors, and masters athletes, including, as she mentions in this episode, an 80-year-old woman doing an Ironman. 07:59- How Rosa got into sports medicine and the female athlete space 12:44- What she's seeing in the clinic: awareness of REDs and where education still falls short 14:47- REDs as a diagnosis of exclusion: what that means and why it takes a team 15:51- Lab work 101: CBC, CMP, ferritin, thyroid, and what Rosa is actually looking for 21:48- DEXA scans: who needs one and when, including the Female Athlete Triad Coalition's updated guidelines 24:22- Medical management of REDs: risk stratification, the REDs CAT2 tool, and keeping athletes in sport where possible 25:26- When it becomes dangerous: bradycardia, orthostatic changes, and the malnourished heart 28:34- Setting expectations with patients and parents around timeline and testing frequency 30:31- The Emory Women's Sports Medicine program and the cross-institutional community behind it Resources mentioned: IOC RED-S CAT2 Tool (2023)- free Excel-based risk stratification tool for clinicians Female Athlete Triad Coalition- updated DEXA scan guidelines for adolescent and adult athletes Emory Women's Sport and Wellness Conference- Saturday, August 15th, in-person and virtual; registration opening soon Connect with Dr. Pasculli through the Lane 9 Directory at lane9project.org/directory Connect + get support: Are you an athlete?

What if manifestation isn't just about mindset… but about what's happening inside your body? In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Brian Trzaskos, PT, LMT, SBMC, CSCS, CMP, MI-C, a somatic science expert, co-creator of the trauma-sensitive Sensation-Based Motivation Coaching method, and co-author of Manifestation for Dummies. As a practicing physical therapist and student of eastern movement and mindfulness practices for over 30 years, Brian has become nationally recognized for helping people transform limiting beliefs, mental wellness challenges, chronic pain, and emotional patterns through trauma-sensitive somatic coaching practices. Together, we unpack the science behind manifestation, natural laws, nervous system patterns, and why your body may be filtering out the very things you're trying to attract. This episode is mind-expanding in the best possible way. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: Brian's journey from physical therapy into somatic science Why some people heal when they "shouldn't" The connection between manifestation & nervous system patterns Natural laws and how they shape your reality The Law of More Life & the Law of Polarity Why your body predicts what you experience How lack can actually create "blind spots" Sensation-based manifestation practices Why manifestation starts in the body—not just the mind The story behind writing Manifestation for Dummies
Elisa Rojas est avocate au barreau de Paris et maître de conférences associée à l'INSEI (Institut national supérieur de formation et de recherche pour l'éducation inclusive). Militante féministe et pour les droits des personnes handicapées, elle a cofondé le Collectif Luttes et Handicaps pour l'Égalité et l'Émancipation (CLHEE). Elle a publié mi-avril "Pour mourir, tapez 1Comment la loi sur la fin de vie inscrit la mort dans une logique capitaliste" (éditions du Détour). C'est un texte concis, clair, argumenté, documenté sur le sujet. En Espagne, au Canada, les lois sur le suicide assisté ont déjà provoqué des dommages irréparables. En Ecosse, le texte a été rejeté. En France, il est encore temps d'agir. Aujourd'hui mardi 2 juin à 14 h 15, une commission mixte paritaire (CMP) réunissant sept députés et sept sénateurs tentera de trouver un compromis sur la proposition de loi créant un « droit à l'aide à mourir ». Sans accord, une nouvelle lecture du texte devrait avoir lieu le 22 juin.Je vous invite toutes et tous à écouter et relayer cet épisode, à livre le livre d'Elisa Rojas, que vous soyez aidante, aidant, ou pas, proche de personnes handicapées, concernées de près ou de loin par ce texte de loi. Parce que la santé publique, c'est notre bien commun à toutes et tous.Sur une note un peu plus légère, mais tout aussi militante, en fin d'épisode, nous évoquons aussi le premier livre d'Elisa Rojas "Mr T et moi", un roman captivant, drôle, où chaque femme (et personne minorisée) pourra se reconnaître, car il est question d'amour, un amour non réciproque ou plutôt non assumé par l'homme (résumé ci-dessous). Grand merci à Elisa pour sa disponibilité et ses brillantes explications. Bonne écoute !

L'opinion publique et les médias semblent majoritairement favorables. Mais a-t-on vraiment écouté les premiers concernés ?En quelques pages percutantes et rigoureuses, l'avocate Élisa Rojas déploie des arguments forts contre la loi légalisant le suicide assisté et l'euthanasie. Alors que le système de soin français est chaque jour plus fragilisé, ces lois aggravent les inégalités et dégradent le rapport déjà difficile que notre société entretient avec la vulnérabilité, la vieillesse, la maladie, le handicap et la dépendance. Or, rendre la mort préférable au soin et à la solidarité – effectivement plus coûteux –, c'est présupposer que certaines vies ne valent pas d'être vécues. "Mister T & moi" (La Belle Etoile / Hachette) https://www.hachette-fictions.fr/livre/mister-t-moi-9782501138574/« J'aime T., je vous l'ai dit, mais je ne vous ai pas dit à quel point. Place à la niaiserie ! Je l'aime de tout mon cœur, de toute mon âme. Je ferais n'importe quoi pour lui. Si ça pouvait servir à quelque chose, je lui donnerais ma vie. Je m'ouvrirais les veines pour lui, mais je ne peux pas. Ma mère m'a dit que si j'avais envie de me suicider « merci de ne pas salir la moquette et en foutre partout ».Quand Elisa rencontre Mister T., c'est le coup de foudre. Il est parfait : beau, intelligent... Elisa est parfaite : belle, intelligente, forte et… en fauteuil roulant. Tous deux étudiants en droit, ils deviennent vite très proches. Mais tandis qu'Elisa se meurt d'amour, Mister T., lui, voit en Elisa une merveilleuse amie, certainement pas une amante. Pourtant, elle en est sûre, ils sont faits l'un pour l'autre.Alors qu'Elisa cherche un moyen de déclarer sa flamme à T. sans risquer de perdre son amitié, elle prend peu à peu conscience de ce qui, en réalité, les sépare : et si les préjugés sur le handicap y étaient pour beaucoup ?Construit comme une telenovela qui commencerait par la fin, Mister T. et Moi est l'histoire d'un «râteau» raconté avec humour et impertinence. Une romance « 100 % True Story » qui s'adresse à tous les amateurs de récits sentimentaux drôles et… politisés. AVERTISSEMENT IMPORTANT : Ne jamais s'inscrire sur une application ou site de rencontres payant sans 1) lire les avis sur Google (Play store) ou Apple (App store) 2) lire les conditions tarifaires de l'abonnement. Ainsi je vous déconseille fortement le site PARSHIP, qui pratique l'extorsion : on ne peut pas résilier avant 1 an obligatoire, même si on n'utilise plus le service, qui n'est pas satisfaisant, car très peu de personnes dans votre région. Le service clients n'a que mépris pour les clients et le service communication ne veut rien entendre (un comble), aucun arrangement possible. Donc évitez une dépense inutile.

Max Anderson is a seasoned product executive with a proven track record of bringing successful technology products to market in the consumer privacy, data management, and marketing space. Prior to Ketch, Max was the Director of Product Management at Krux. After joining Salesforce as part of the Krux acquisition, Max ran data privacy and consumer identity products at Salesforce, including the rollout of their industry-leading GDPR solution set. Prior to Krux, Max was a Product Manager at IPG Mediabrands, where he was responsible for multiple successful advertising measurement products. In this episode… Getting consent and opt-out compliance right requires more than adding a cookie banner or standalone webform. It requires consent tools, consumer identifiers, and downstream third-party systems to work in concert. Regulators are looking closely at whether a consumer's choice follows them across devices, browsers, and the systems where their data is collected and used. When those pieces do not connect, an opt-out can be incomplete, putting companies at risk of regulatory enforcement. So, what does it take to build a complete and compliant consumer opt-out experience? Identity management is central to effective consent and opt-out compliance because consumer choices need to be honored at the person level, across devices and browsers. Privacy rights forms and consent tools also need to connect, so an opt-out request reaches the CMP controlling tag firing on the site. When data has moved to third-party advertising and marketing vendors, companies need to understand whether they can flow that opt-out downstream. Yet many third-party platforms do not provide privacy APIs or consent-related controls, and building integrations with them can be challenging. Companies should test the process by submitting an opt-out through the webform, returning to the website, and checking whether browser data collection events still happen that could facilitate cross-context behavioral advertising. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Max Anderson, Co-founder and Head of Product at Ketch, about navigating consent and opt-out compliance gaps. Max explains why identity management matters when honoring consumer choices across devices and browsers, and how disconnected privacy rights forms and consent tools can leave opt-outs incomplete. He also describes the challenges companies face when flowing opt-outs down to third-party advertising and marketing vendors and shares practical steps companies can take to assess vendor controls, cross-device exposure, and the areas that may create enforcement risk.

Germany's VDA lobby warned that the country's auto sector could shed up to 125,000 additional jobs by 2035 without meaningful improvement in competitiveness.OPEL PREVIEWS 207 KW CORSA GSEOpel has revealed the all-electric Corsa GSE, which it claims will be the fastest-accelerating production Opel ever built, with a 0–100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds from a front-mounted 207 kW permanent magnet motor. The car rides on Stellantis' e-CMP platform and features a Torsen limited-slip differential, Alcon four-piston brakes, lowered sports suspension, and uprated battery thermal management.AUSTRALIA DELAYS FEDERAL EV ROAD CHARGEAustralia's federal government has paused its EV road user charge, opting to first develop a coordinated policy with state and territory governments following the High Court's 2023 ruling that struck down Victoria's version. The budget also restructures EV fringe benefits tax support, narrowing the full FBT exemption from April 2027 to EVs priced at A$75,000 or below on novated leases, before shifting to a 25% FBT reduction for all EVs under the luxury car tax threshold from April 2029.GERMAN OPERATORS BACK ELECTRIC TRUCKSA German study by the Institute for Applied Ecology found that 93% of transport companies already running electric trucks are satisfied or very satisfied, citing high reliability, driving comfort, and low operating costs. The same share expect electric trucks to become the standard fleet vehicle by 2030, though operators flagged high upfront costs and depot grid connection complexity as the main barriers.AI CHARGING METHOD CUTS EV BATTERY WEARResearchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed an AI-driven fast-charging method using reinforcement learning that extends EV battery life by 23% without adding to charge times. The system adapts charging current to each battery's state of health and electrochemistry in real time, reducing internal wear and the risk of lithium plating compared to current one-size-fits-all charging protocols.FIRST BUS TESTS DEPOTS AS GRID ASSETSFirst Bus has launched a trial using its electric bus depot infrastructure to support the National Grid, intelligently scheduling charging to absorb surplus Scottish wind power that would otherwise be curtailed. The UK's largest electric bus operator, with over 1,400 zero-emission vehicles, argues the scheme can cut wasted renewable energy, support grid stability, and improve the economics of fleet electrification.LUCID PUTS UK LAUNCH BACK TO 2028Lucid has delayed its UK market entry to early 2028 — the third such postponement — with European President Lawrence Hamilton saying the firm must sequence its expansion carefully after entering seven or eight more continental European markets in 2026 first. Lucid will skip bringing the current Air and Gravity models to the UK, instead launching only on its new mid-size 800-volt platform with the Cosmos coupé-crossover and Earth SUV variants, built on the Atlas drive unit that cuts manufacturing costs by 37%.UK E-VAN RULES EASE FROM 2026From June 2026, the UK government will remove regulatory barriers for electric vans weighing between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes, aligning them with equivalent diesel and petrol vehicles under the Class 7 MOT framework with a first MOT due after three years rather than one. Driver hours rules will also change, removing mandatory tachograph use and base-distance restrictions, with operators set to save up to 60% on MOT costs under the new regime.UK USED EV SALES HIT Q1 RECORDUK used EV sales hit a record 86,943 units in Q1 2026, up 32% year on year, with around one in 23 used car buyers choosing an EV compared to one in 30 in the same period last year. The surge is being driven by growing used EV supply from strong prior new car sales, lower prices, and improving buyer confidence in battery longevity.

Today we're diving into a topic that so many women experience but far too few of us are adequately prepared for—perimenopause. My guest is Dr. Mary Claire Haver, a board-certified OB-GYN, Certified Menopause Practitioner, and New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause and her most recent book, The New Perimenopause. Through her clinical work, her online programs like The Galveston Diet, and her platform The 'Pause Life, Dr. Haver has become a leading voice in making menopause education accessible, practical, and grounded in science. In our conversation, we explore the biological and emotional complexities of perimenopause, why early intervention—including hormone therapy—can be so important, and the gaps in medical training that have left many women feeling dismissed or unprepared. Dr. Haver shares practical strategies for managing symptoms, explains what she calls “The Menopause Toolkit,” and offers empowering guidance to help women advocate for their health and navigate this transformative phase with more knowledge, confidence, and support. About Dr. Mary Claire Haver Dr. Mary Claire Haver, MD, FACOG, CMP, is a board-certified Obstetrics and Gynecology specialist, a Certified Menopause Practitioner from The Menopause Society (formerly the North American Menopause Society (NAMS)), an Adjunct Associate Professor at University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, and a passionate entrepreneur and best-selling author with a focus on women's health. Dr. Haver graduated from Louisiana State University Medical Center and completed her Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at UTMB. As her patient population grew older, Dr. Haver started receiving numerous complaints and concerns about weight gain during menopause. This inspired her to do a deep dive into the science of menopause, aging, and inflammation beyond what she was taught in school and residency, which led to the creation of The Galveston Diet online program and, in 2023, a national bestselling book. Dr. Haver integrates a patient's medical history, symptomatology, nutrition, exercise, supplements, and possibly hormone therapy, or what she likes to call "The Menopause Toolkit." Dr. Haver has a large social media following of over 7 million, where she posts advice for menopausal women and learns a great deal from her followers and community. She aims to make menopause care easy and accessible for everyone. She founded The 'Pause Life, a comprehensive approach to menopause education and support, and is the author of the New York Times bestseller, The New Menopause and her most recent title The New Perimenopause. Things you'll learn from this episode What differences there are between the biological process of perimenopause and menopause The impact of hormone shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone on women's mental health and brain fog during perimenopause Ways to effectively communicate with healthcare providers who may not be up to speed on menopause research and/or may be dismissive of symptoms The benefits and timing of menopause hormone therapy during perimenopause Resources mentioned The Pause Life (Mary Claire's website and online community) The New Perimenopause: An Evidence-Based Guide to Surviving the Zone of Chaos and Feeling Like Yourself Again by Dr. Mary Claire Haver The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts by Dr. Mary Claire Haver UnPaused Podcast Dr. Mary Claire Haver on Instagram Dr. Mary Claire Haver on YouTube Dr. Mary Claire Haver on Facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 1,484.Today, as Russian casualty figures continue to climb, we ask whether Moscow's long-anticipated spring offensive has already begun. We also return to the situation in Moscow, where Vladimir Putin has been absent from public view for several days, as a formerly loyal supporter issues a dramatic call for the Russian president to step down. Then we examine the significance of comments by the CIA director on Moscow's involvement with Iran, before speaking to one of Britain's leading historians of strategy about where the war now stands – and the key mistakes made by both Russia and Ukraine.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to historian Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
