Manchester City have been found guilty of the vast majority of the 115 Premier League charges. Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino says fans "lived through a period of deception." So where does that leave Tottenham? Jake Robson (An Echo of Glory), Ricky Sacks (Last Word on Spurs) and Sim (We Are Tottenham TV) spend the whole show on it, and they don't agree. Did City and Chelsea cost Spurs trophies during the Poch years? Does the verdict change how we judge Daniel Levy's tenure? He planned the club around the financial rules everyone else was meant to follow. Is that a defence, or was it naive? Did he fail to adapt once it was obvious those rules weren't being enforced? And what should a fair punishment look like now, when you can't turn back time? Is Levy's reputation due a rewrite?

NVIDIA's dual announcement of a major security initiative and a record-breaking financial maneuver. The company introduced the Open Agent Safety Platform, which utilizes tools like OpenShell and Sentry to establish a protective "trust layer" that prevents autonomous AI agents from performing unauthorized or unsafe actions. This security push is supported by several industry partners, including Lenovo, Dell, and HP, who aim to integrate these safeguards into their own enterprise ecosystems. Simultaneously, NVIDIA authorized a massive $150 billion expansion of its stock repurchase program, bringing its total buyback capacity to $235 billion. Market analysts interpret this aggressive capital return as a sign of management's confidence in the company's long-term value despite recent shifts in market valuation. Collectively, these moves signal NVIDIA's ambition to dominate both the physical infrastructure and the governance standards of the emerging agentic AI era.
In this episode, Kelly Wendorf shares insights on leadership, care, and the wisdom of horses, exploring how ancient species can teach us about thriving through change and the importance of relational kinship with nature.We had a great conversation, and we probably should have mentioned what the title of Kelly's book refers to! This is how she describes Flying Lead Change in the foreword to her book: "A flying lead change is the equestrian term for a high-level yet natural gymnastic move that happens at the canter, lope, or gallop. When a horse, say, canters, they lead with either their left or right set of legs. (Sometimes, there is, say, a radical change in topography;) this will lead the horse to change their lead... The flying lead change, or flying change, is when the animal, midflight, changes their lead from left to right, or vice versa. At its finest, when you are astride a highly trained horse who deliberately executes the motion with balanced elegance, a flying change is astonishing to experience. .... (it) requires a culmination of complex and coordinated elements executed in one dynamic flow mid-air.: attunement to change, connection, balance and equilibrium; a quiet mind; openness to new possibilities; temp; a suspension of pattern while continuing momentum; and finally levitation to create space for a transition of balance and new direction. Collectively, we are facing the need for the same physics-defying maneuver. Our topography is radically changing, which requires us to change the way we lead our lives, families, and organizations. Such topography calls us to execute this change with similar mastery.00:00Introduction to Kelly Wendorf and the themes of leadership and horses02:13Redefining leadership: care, presence, and indigenous perspectives04:44Stories of horses as teachers of care and boundaries07:13Artemis and Merlin: lessons in leadership and connection in herd dynamics11:05The role of connection, boundaries, and discipline in herd behavior16:57The 56 million-year history of horses and their resilience19:33Horses as teachers of safety, joy, and relational harmony24:31Prophecy stories and the horse as a wisdom companion in times of crisis26:25Relational kinship with horses and learning from nature30:11Sensitivity, boundaries, and the electromagnetic field of horses34:17Joy, despair, and the capacity to feel deeply in times of crisis37:48The importance of feeling and being present in the moment42:43Kelly Wendorf's work with humans and horses at Buffalo Spirit Ranch47:09Transformative experiences and practical lessons from horses56:54Hope, adaptation, and the microcosm of land and land relationships57:09Remembering and reembodying our true selves through kinship with natureGet a copy of Kelly's book: Flying Lead Change: 56 Million Years of Wisdom for Leading and LivingFollow Kelly on LinkedInEQUUS Inspired orgIf this episode resonated with you, please join our weekly ReMembering and ReEnchanting newsletter, where you can receive powerful stories, analysis, ideas, and inspiration directly in your inboxSend us a messageSupport the showLearn more about Sara Jolena Wolcott and Sequoia SamanvayaMusic Title: Both of UsMusic by: madiRFAN Don't forget to "like" and share this episode!

Wanna know who is really in the top 1%? And how they use their influence? It may not be who you think.Look beyond Silicon Valley. Look beyond Wall Street. Look beyond the “oligarchs”. There's a much larger class of wealthy Americans hiding in plain sight. And, often, they got rich in mundane ways. They own car dealerships. They sell hot dogs and frozen mini-quiches. They run waxing salons. They supply fabricated metal and urinal cakes. They are dentists.Collectively, these "Main Street millionaires" control much more wealth than the billionaire lightning rods who launch rockets into space, appear on manosphere podcasts, and have Hollywood movies made about them. Many of these millionaires have also grown rich enough to afford superyachts, 10,000-square-foot homes, and pet tigers. At the center of their story is a quiet revolution in the American economy: the rise of a particular kind of private business. On today's show, how did the power of the “stealthy wealthy” millionaires come to rival that of the billionaire oligarchs? And, how are they shaping policies that lower their taxes and raise your prices?Read: Our book: Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life Our weekly longform Planet Money newsletterOur weekly Indicator round-up newsletterFollow: InstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebookSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

An overlooked destination for thousands immigrating out of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union was Mexico. The reasons were many. Jews fled anti-semitic violence. Religious groups like the Molokans left because of persecution. Many more left in the wake of war, revolution, famine, and political repression. Regardless, Mexico was a viable alternative with the US borders closed to immigration in the interwar period. Collectively known as Los Rusos, these “Russians” built new lives, integrated into Mexican society, or eventually ended up in Los Angeles with the help of some dubious “ethnopolitical entrepreneurs.” Who were the Los Rusos? What was their immigrant experience like? How did the weather during the years of anti-communist hysteria, spy mania, and xenophobia? And why has Mexico eluded our attention as a destination for refugees from the Russian empire? The Eurasian Knot spoke to Andrew Jenks about his new book, Los Rusos: The Russian Departure to Mexico and Southern California, 1900-1965, to learn more.Guest:Andrew Jenks is a professor of history at California State University Long Beach. He has published books on the history of space exploration, folk art, the environment, and migration. He's the author of Los Rusos: The Russian Departure to Mexico and Southern California, 1900–1965 published by Cornell University Press. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Century Lithium CEO Bill Willoughby joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's plans to develop a commercial-scale chlor-alkali (CA) plant designed to support both the growing critical minerals supply chain across the Western United States and the future development of its Angel Island Lithium Project in Nevada. Willoughby said the proposed facility represents a strategic opportunity to create an independent, revenue-generating business while strengthening domestic supply chains for key industrial chemicals that are essential to lithium processing, rare earth separation and advanced materials production. Chlor-alkali products, including chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, are critical reagents used throughout the battery metals and critical minerals industries. Beyond their role in lithium extraction and refining, these chemicals are also used extensively in rare earth processing, precious metals production, water treatment, manufacturing and a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. The proposed plant would utilize sodium chloride, water and electricity to produce these essential chemicals at an initial targeted production rate of 300 short tons per day of chlorine. The facility is being designed with scalability in mind, allowing production capacity to potentially double to 600 short tons per day depending on regional demand and future requirements from the Angel Island project. A significant validation of the concept has already emerged through customer interest. Century Lithium has entered into eight non-binding memoranda of understanding with third-party companies across multiple industrial and chemical sectors. Collectively, these potential offtake agreements could account for the entire initial production capacity of the proposed plant, demonstrating strong market demand for domestically produced chlor-alkali products. Willoughby emphasized that the company continues to engage with additional prospective customers as it advances commercial discussions and evaluates long-term supply agreements. To identify the optimal location for the facility, Century Lithium conducted an extensive review of candidate sites in Nevada and Utah. The evaluation considered key factors including access to feedstock supplies, electrical power availability, rail infrastructure, proximity to customers, land ownership considerations and permitting requirements. On timeline, Willoughby said the company is targeting a construction decision within under a year, and expects permitting to be relatively straightforward given the use of an existing infrastructure site rather than a greenfield federal land location. #proactiveinvestors #centurylithiumcorp #tsxv #lce #otcqx #cydvf #mining #AngelIsland #LithiumProject #NevadaMining NevadaMining #BatteryMaterials #CriticalMinerals #EnergyTransition #EVBatteries #MiningNews #ResourceInvesting

Host Bill Donohue looks back at memorable careers in hockey and baseball. Bill opens the show by talking with former New York Islanders goaltender Chico Resch, who shares stories about his journey from Moose Jaw to Long Island, including his early nerves, the origin of his painted goalie mask, and how he became known as “Chico.” He also recalls the excitement of playing at Nassau Coliseum and explains how teammates such as Billy Smith, Clark Gillies, and Bobby Nystrom, along with coach Al Arbour, helped turn the Islanders from a struggling expansion team into a championship organization.Resch discusses the different personalities and playing styles on those Islanders teams, including Billy Smith's natural instincts in goal and his own efforts to stand out and help the team. He also talks about the Islanders' rivalries with the Rangers and Flyers, the strong connection between the team and its fans, and the difficult business side of hockey, including trades and roster changes.Later, Vada Pinson Jr. joins the program and reflects on his father's outstanding baseball career. He highlights Pinson's breakout 1961 season, his place among Major League Baseball's leading hitters during the 1960s, and his Gold Glove defense. He also discusses the racism, negative media coverage, and other barriers his father faced, including the well-known incident involving sportswriter Earl Lawson. Pinson Jr. explains why he believes those issues may have hurt his father's chances of being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.In a special bonus hour, Bill talks with Savannah Bananas pitcher Frankie Moscatiello, followed by Barry Goudreau, an original member of the legendary rock band Boston.Throughout the show, Donohue keeps the conversations relaxed and personal while giving his guests room to share their memories. The episode offers an entertaining look at two important sports careers and the people, challenges, and experiences that shaped them.Takeaways:Bill Donohue moderated a relaxed two‑hour program in which he steered substantive interviews, cultivating an affable yet earnest atmosphere for extended reminiscence and analysis.Chico Resch reminisced about Long Island's communal fervor and explained how his painted goalie mask together with the 'Chico' sobriquet materially amplified his public persona and professional prospects.He delineated the performative and psychological dynamics of goaltending, portraying Billy Smith as a quasi‑phenomenon whose ritualized mentality and clutch orientation materially influenced playoff success.They unpacked the Islanders' strategic metamorphosis under Bill Torrey and Al Arbour, emphasizing the imperative for a secondary scoring nucleus and the sometimes merciless calculus of roster transactions.Vada Pinson III delivered a measured, data‑driven appraisal of his father's career, juxtaposing prolific hitting totals and defensive excellence against the institutional and media forces that complicated Hall of Fame recognition.He recounted racially charged episodes in Cincinnati — notably the Lawson altercation and insinuations of a 'Negro clique' — situating those incidents within broader patterns of regional prejudice and media power dynamics.They highlighted the mentorship and camaraderie among Black players like Vada Pinson Sr., Frank Robinson, and their welcoming of rookies such as Pete Rose, illustrating how interpersonal bonds shaped clubhouse culture and career trajectories.Collectively, the interviews foregrounded the entanglement of athletic performance, personal identity, and organizational decision‑making, offering listeners nuanced perspectives on legacy formation, memory, and the contingencies that define professional sport.

A board filled with wealthy, well-connected fundraisers may sound ideal, but it is not a requirement for a successful capital campaign.In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt address a concern shared by many nonprofit leaders: Can an organization conduct a capital campaign when its board members care deeply about the mission but do not have access to wealthy networks and do not see themselves as fundraisers?The short answer is yes. Amy and Andrea explain why most nonprofit boards are not assembled primarily for their fundraising connections. Board members may be chosen for their professional knowledge, community perspective, lived experience, or connection to the people the organization serves. Expecting every member of a 12-, 15-, or 20-person board to bring substantial wealth and an extensive donor network is usually unrealistic.That does not leave the board without meaningful campaign responsibilities. Amy and Andrea distinguish between the role of the board as a governing body and the responsibilities of individual board members. Collectively, the board establishes the organization's vision, approves its campaign plans, safeguards its financial health, and makes sure the campaign has an adequate budget, qualified staff, and outside expertise when needed.Individual board members have a different role. Each member should understand why the campaign matters, support its goals, make a personally meaningful campaign gift above their regular annual giving, and speak positively about the campaign in the community. The amount will differ from one person to another. What matters is that every board member makes a thoughtful commitment they are proud of.Amy and Andrea also caution against treating a capital campaign as a solution to serious financial instability. An organization operating at a deficit or struggling to maintain its annual fundraising may need to strengthen its financial foundation and donor relationships before launching a campaign. Capital campaigns require investments in staff, planning, training, and fundraising expertise.So who leads the fundraising when board members cannot open doors to the largest prospective donors? In many campaigns, that work is carried out through a broader volunteer structure that extends well beyond the board. Campaign chairs, steering committees, core leadership groups, donors, community leaders, and short-term volunteers can all help introduce prospects, offer advice, solicit gifts, and move the campaign forward.A major campaign can become an opportunity to engage people who care about the organization but do not want to serve on its board. Some of the organization's most generous donors and influential supporters may prefer a focused campaign assignment, an advisory role, or a place on a campaign committee. Their participation can help the organization build philanthropic relationships that remain strong long after the campaign ends.Most important, organizations should not assume that all their largest gifts will come from strangers who are waiting somewhere outside their existing community. Campaign planning begins with the donors, families, volunteers, and supporters who are already involved and invested in the mission.Learn more about A Board Member's Guide to Capital Campaign Fundraising: https://capitalcampaignpro.com/books/board-members-guide-book/

While most Americans think of a truck or a sedan when they hear “electric vehicle,” a quiet revolution is happening in other countries on two and three wheels. In China and India, the electric vehicles doing the most to push out oil aren't cars – they're scooters, mopeds, motorcycles and the three-wheeled rickshaws and tuk-tuks that move people and packages through some of the world's busiest cities. According to BloombergNEF's EV Outlook report, 46% of global sales of two- and three-wheelers were electric last year. Collectively, they're displacing more oil than cars. Electric delivery vehicles are also starting to show up in bigger U.S. cities. How might even greater adoption of “other” EV types benefit decarbonization?

Hello New Paradigmer! I'm no longer waiting,For a new age to begin,But clearing the space so I can create,Nirvana now within.☉I have to say the astrological outlook for the next few years is looking pretty grim. As birth is often painful and chaotic, so is the birth of a New Paradigm of understanding, awareness, and justice that is reflected in global societal actions and policies. Knowing that we are in the midst of a storm that shows no sign of passing soon requires some psycho-spiritual-mental-emotional adjustment, fortitude, and calm.As we cannot control the Leo kings of the world these days, our time is better spent on working with our own inner king/queen with an eye to keeping it in check. This last set of eclipses was about showing us that we are fulfilled through others, connection, service, sharing, and humility. We're going to have a year and a half of seeing the shadow side of Leo, the wrong use of position and power, selfishness and antisocial behaviors of all sorts. It's so we can learn just what social behavior is all about! How can we best be social and advance society together, not just do our own thing.It's a long, slow process/road with many a pothole. There's been such an emphasis on personal freedom and if you're powerful you do what you want, when you want, and how you want. Collectively we've reached the culmination of self centered, which had to be reached and experienced so we could each bring ALL of ourselves BACK into the circle. So, well done, good job, now that you know all you've got it's time to give all you've got. Could take a couple thousand years (the age of aquarius) for everyone to get that everyone will be better off when we're ALL better off as we are one. Nobody gets "there" without everybody getting there in the end. Let's experience it so we can share it, teach, and raise the bar.

We now come to a special part of Paul's letter to the Corinthians, these are chapters 12 to 14, and the first two are for today and they start, “Now concerning spiritual gifts ….” And Paul seeks to put their understanding of these gifts into a godly perspective. Paul first makes the point, “When you were pagans you were led astray…” [v.2] At that time they had experienced all kinds of trances and ecstasy, as can still be observed among some primitive peoples today, being seen as ‘gifts' from their imagined gods. Paul tells them that, as members of Christ, “there are varieties of gifts … and there are varieties of service, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone” [v.4-6]. These are to be used “for the common good”. [v.7] – not in competition. These gentiles in Corinth had no Bible to read, and so “through the Spirit … one is given … the utterance of wisdom … another the utterance of knowledge …” The gift of tongues is mentioned last – and Paul counsels them to “earnestly desire the higher gifts” [v.31] adding, “and I will show you a still more excellent way.” This brings us to the marvellous exposition he gives on the value of love. In ch. 13. One can “have all faith … but have not love” then, says Paul, “I am nothing” [v.2,1] In ch. 12 Paul had made the point, which we might fail to stress, “”Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” Collectively, together we make up “the body of Christ.” For, says Paul, “the body does not consist of one member but of many.” [v.14] Believers must team together as parts of Christ's body of believers, using the individual abilities they have been given for the common good – above all, to display and practise the collective character of Christ. In that way, our children who have not yet accepted Christ will be influenced – and of course, unbelievers – if they are seekers, will be attracted. Head knowledge is essential, but is only half of “the body” – our hearts are the other half! A body is “dead” if it has no heart: Head and heart team together to produce faith The end of ch. 13 sums it all up, “So now faith, hope and love abide … but the greatest of these is love.” To finish, let us meditate on that verse: in the kingdom age, hope will be fulfilled and turn into sight, so faith will not be needed. The one thing that will “abide” is “love.” That will be the all-embracing spirit of mind in that wondrous time, how vital we develop it now if we aim, by His grace, to be there.
What happens when two wheelchair users fall in love, get married, build careers, travel the world and navigate life together? Apparently, people have questions. After sharing more of their life as a disabled couple online and seeing an overwhelming response, Alycia Anderson brings her husband, Marty Anderson, back to Pushing Forward with Alycia for a lighter, candid and often hilarious Q&A about their nearly 15 years of marriage. Who is more stubborn? Who notices an accessibility problem first? Who takes longer to get ready? Who carries more disability-related gear? And when the world is not designed for two wheelchair users, how do they figure it out? As Alycia and Marty quickly discover, the answers lead to much bigger conversations about disabled relationships, wheelchair accessibility, accessible travel, independence, interdependence, ableism and belonging. Two Disabled People. One Very Normal Marriage. One of the biggest misconceptions Alycia and Marty encounter is the assumption that when disability exists in a relationship, one person must automatically become the caregiver. Their reality is much different. They help each other. Sometimes that means Marty holding Alycia's wheelchair during a transfer or Alycia grabbing onto Marty's chair for a tow. Sometimes it means reviewing an email, figuring out a business decision or helping each other navigate a difficult moment. And sometimes it simply means knowing somebody is standing beside you. As Alycia puts it, having Marty on her team makes her feel braver in the actions she takes in her life. Their partnership illustrates something much bigger: support in a relationship does not always move in one direction. When Accessibility Assumes Disabled People Are Alone Some of the funniest stories in the episode expose something decidedly less funny: much of the world is still designed around the assumption that a wheelchair user will be accompanied by a nondisabled caregiver. Movie theaters may provide one wheelchair space and one companion chair. Venues may offer accessible seating without considering that two wheelchair users might actually want to sit beside each other. Transportation systems may have accessibility policies but still create frustrating or alienating customer experiences. Hotels may technically meet accessibility standards while still making everyday tasks difficult. Alycia and Marty have spent years navigating those gaps together. Their solution is often the same: Figure it out. For Alycia, that mindset is deeply connected to disability itself. When the world is not designed for you, creativity and adaptation become part of everyday life. The Airport Shuttle Stress Is Real Accessible travel gets its own unofficial therapy session in this episode. Alycia and Marty talk about one of their biggest travel stressors: getting from the airport to the rental car facility. Wheelchair-accessible shuttle experiences can be unpredictable. Ramps may not work. Drivers may approach wheelchair passengers differently. Other travelers may board while wheelchair users are still waiting. Policies can sometimes override a simple conversation about what actually works best for the individual passenger. The frustration is not always about the equipment. It is about the experience. Marty describes accessibility as something that should create a feeling of being invited rather than treated like an exception. That distinction between technical access and true belonging sits at the center of much of Alycia's work. Accessible Parking Is More Complicated Than It Looks Alycia and Marty also tackle one of disability culture's perennial hot topics: accessible parking. They are quick to point out that disability does not have one appearance. Someone using an accessible parking space may have a completely legitimate non-apparent disability. But they also raise an important distinction around van-accessible spaces and access aisles. Those striped areas next to certain spaces are not extra parking. They provide the room someone may need to deploy a wheelchair ramp, transfer from a vehicle, use a walker or maneuver mobility equipment. It is another example of how accessibility education can make systems work better for everyone. What Do Nondisabled Couples Take for Granted? Their answer? Sometimes, spontaneity. Traveling without researching accessibility. Accepting an invitation to someone's house without wondering whether you can enter. Booking a rideshare without thinking about whether a wheelchair will fit or whether the driver will refuse the trip. Checking into a hotel without wondering whether the mirror can actually be seen from a wheelchair. These may seem like tiny details individually. Collectively, they shape whether people can participate fully and independently in everyday life. Disabled Relationship Myth Busting Perhaps the biggest misconception Alycia and Marty challenge is the belief that two disabled people somehow live a fundamentally different kind of relationship. Their marriage has accessibility logistics and mobility adaptations, yes. It also has careers. Finances. Intimacy. Arguments. Love. Partnership. Medical challenges. Travel. Laughter. And almost fifteen years of figuring life out together. Disability is part of their relationship. It is not the entirety of it. Marriage Is Still Marriage Near the end of the episode, Marty asks Alycia what nearly fifteen years together has taught her that has nothing to do with disability. Her answer becomes one of the episode's most beautiful moments. Marriage, she says, is one of the hardest things she has ever committed to, but also one of the very best. Creating a life with another person remains one of the accomplishments she treasures most. And after several heavy weeks for the Anderson household, their final Pushing Forward Moments are wonderfully simple. Marty's: Take life a little lighter. Have some fun. Everything does not have to be serious. Alycia's: All you need is love. Sometimes pushing forward means solving the accessibility problem. Sometimes it means advocating for change. And sometimes it means laughing with the person sitting beside you while you figure everything else out. IN THIS EPISODE Alycia and Marty discuss: What life is actually like for two married wheelchair users Who is more stubborn about asking for help Why asking for help can be difficult when independence has been ingrained in you Who notices accessibility barriers first Wheelchair travel and airport shuttle frustrations Accessibility versus genuine hospitality and belonging Why Alycia carries more disability-related supplies while traveling When they speak up about inaccessible environments How two disabled partners physically and emotionally support each other The assumption that every disabled person has a nondisabled caregiver Why theaters and entertainment venues often fail wheelchair-using couples Disability, marriage and intimacy Accessible parking and non-apparent disabilities Why van-accessible spaces serve a specific purpose Rideshare and transportation discrimination Why accessible hotel rooms should not have thick carpet How disability creates everyday problem-solving skills Automatic doors and universal access Spontaneity and the hidden planning involved in disability What nearly fifteen years of marriage has taught them Finding more fun, light and love in everyday life KEY THEMES
“On a scale of 1 to 5 Honks, how many Honks would you give it…for their performance at the show?” The STRAP IT DOWN TOUR (featuring Spirit In The Room, Helmet, and Down) kicked off in relentlessly heavy fashion on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at The Eastern in Atlanta, Georgia, and we made our way down into the heart of the city to experience opening night firsthand, in the flesh. “I don't wanna say anything off-putting…” The turnout was incredible, the venue was awesome, and the whole vibe of the entire evening was perfectly dialed in, with merch lines resembling what one might see at an amusement park and well-rehearsed, tight performances from each of the bands that were delivered loud and crystal clear (yet “not necessacelery” so loud that we were all “screaming at each other and not listening”), with the final crescendo of the evening being a massive jam that can only be described as “controlled chaos” as EVERYONE in the first two bands took the stage and proceeded to jam with Down on the outro to “Bury Me In Smoke” until the riffs and the grooves left everyone with a contact high. “Man, I hate those things!” Get ready for a taste of the brand-new DOWN tune, Blood Oath, remember why you should NEVER put your concert shirts in the dryer after you wash them, discover why being ultra “relaxed” is the only way to EVER travel in a Waymo, and get ready for some BONUS concert reflections worth its weight in Honks when you JOIN US as we share our post-game wrap-up of the first night of the STRAP IT DOWN TOUR!

New manager, north of £200M spent this summer, and we were second best in every single area of that pitch. 3.96 xG to 0.47. Nobody is talking us into a good week. So here is how this works. Every Tuesday, Jonny from An Echo of Glory, Ben from We Are Tottenham TV and Billie from Last Word on Spurs each bring one hot take about Tottenham. One each. None of them has heard the other two before the cameras roll. Then they argue about it. This week all three have come out of the Brentford defeat, and none of them are the take you think they are going to be. One of them goes after a decision most fans have already accepted without questioning it. One of them says the damage was done weeks before a ball was kicked. And one of them is going to start a row in the comments, which is exactly the point. Everything else is on the table too. The two goals Kinsky will want back. Archie Gray captaining the side, the youngest to do it since Steve Perryman. Tonali skying one from 18 yards. Savinho agreed at £85m, Marmoush in the post, and whether any of it fixes what we watched on Saturday. Charlton in the cup, then Newcastle at home. It cannot look like that again. Tell us who won the argument in the comments. And bring your own hot take, the best ones get read out next week. Collectively COYS is the weekly Spurs show from An Echo of Glory, Last Word on Spurs and We Are Tottenham TV. Three channels, three takes, one panel, no agenda beyond arguing about our football club.

The Full Moon in Aquarius is a partial lunar eclipse, reaching its maximum at 05.12 am BST/ 00.12 EDT on August 28. This is (almost) the last eclipse in this sign until 2035. There will be another lunar eclipse on the cusp of the sign in August 2027. Rāhu continues to transform this area of your life.Collectively, Aquarius represents AI technology and its impact on society. Personally, whatever Aquarius represents in your chart is undergoing a similar upgrade. This can bring growth, but may prove too much, too soon, unless approached consciously. There can be an ‘all-or-nothing' approach. You may obsess about it and then dissociate. We tend to rush forward wherever Rāhu transits, and a lunar eclipse can accelerate this. Change is necessary, but greed inevitably creates losses later. Both lunar nodes are transiting lunar mansions associated with them in Indian astrology: Rāhu in Śatabhiṣāj and Ketu in Maghā. Rāhu is stronger in Aquarius, encouraging experimentation and innovation. Meanwhile, Ketu in Leo can diminish confidence or prompt us to reject what Leo represents as we pursue something in Aquarius. We can see this play out in mob mentality. The eclipse occurs in Śatabhiṣāj, meaning “one hundred healers”, symbolised by an empty circle. Healing is possible, but unexpected developments must also be considered. It may feel like taking medicine that cures one condition while creating another. Whatever Aquarius represents for you, this is where you are evolving, consciously or otherwise.

There has never been a more promising time for genocide prevention. More resources and research are being focused on prevention than ever before. Yet we still lack vital knowledge as to the most effective ways to stabilise and reduce the risk of genocide in current at-risk societies. Genocide Prevention: An Evidence-Based Approach (Cambridge UP, 2026) offers a compelling new approach: to understand how to prevent genocide, we need to examine societies in which genocide has been prevented. It is in these societies - in which a demonstrably high risk of genocide was present, but in which genocide did not occur - that we can potentially find key factors that promote resilience to genocide. The volume explores six such case studies, spanning three continents and seven decades. Through careful analysis it identifies eleven factors that have contributed to preventing genocide in multiple cases, and which have the potential to inform current approaches to prevention. Collectively, these offer a new, evidence-based approach to preventing genocide. Learn more about your ad choices.

The potent, dramatic Solar Eclipse in Leo arrives August 12th, shaking up the Leo sector of your birth chart. Solar Eclipses can coincide with far-reaching beginnings, like a potent New Moon, but as this is also connected to the South Node, there can also be an ending or rebalancing connected to this energy as well. Co-present with benefic Jupiter, there is also a possibility that this eclipse brings some opportunity or expansion into your life as well. Collectively, this energy is tied to sudden changes in leadership, or established "kings" and leaders grapping with a sudden shift in power. Leo = rulers and kings, and eclipses are notorious for bringing sudden shifts in who has political power.

You don't truly grasp a challenge until you face it yourself. As a physician, I understood the gaps in postpartum care—but as a new mom, I lived them courtesy of my four sons. Collectively, I have endured postpartum depression, perinatal anxiety, uterine infection, 3-4 degree tears, c-section, natural delivery, pre-eclampsia, VBACs, breastfeeding struggles--and the American healthcare system failed me. I am physician, more specifically a pediatrician, neonatologist, and lactation specialist. With all my privilege on paper, my own healthcare system failed me...so what about other mothers. Seven years ago, I started on the journey to change our medical postpartum care system. I realized that better care doesn't just help individual mothers; it can lower our nation's alarming maternal mortality rate and prevent postpartum depression. In the U.S., two-thirds of maternal deaths happen after birth, yet moms wait weeks for a checkup while newborns get immediate care.

STREAMING MAKING JBS, JEFF BLISS, MICHAEL VLAHOS. 7-31-261900 LA CHAMBER OF COMMERCEThis podcast transcript features a dialogue between John Batchelor and Jeff Bliss regarding a series of escalating global and domestic crises. The conversation begins with a massive migration event in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, which the speakers characterize as an unprecedented invasion of thousands of men from Morocco into the European Union. Turning to the United States, they detail a toxic chemical emergency caused by a massive fire in Los Angeles and the subsequent political fallout in Seattle following a festival shooting. The program also examines the controversial personal history and political ambitions of California Governor Gavin Newsom. Finally, a segment featuring a guest named Germanicus analyzes the risk of an unfolding world war fueled by a perceived lack of decisive American leadership. Collectively, these sources depict a world struggling with volatile borders, civil unrest, and failing institutional stability.
Collective CIO Natalie Silverstein joins Next In Media to explore how creators are evolving into full-fledged media networks and what it takes for brands to scale authentic partnerships in a hyper-fragmented landscape. Natalie, also breaks down real-time crisis agility, strategies for training AI language models on video content, and how to combat the algorithmic reach recession with targeted paid media.

This week we talk about cyclospora, FoodNet, and Taylor Farms.We also discuss iceberg lettuce, Taco Bell, and foodborne pathogens.Recommended Book: Babel by R.F. KuangTranscriptFoodborne pathogens cause about 48 million illnesses and around 3000 deaths in the US alone each year.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the main agency tasked with keeping those numbers as low as possible, and the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, or FoodNet, is one way that they've tackled this pernicious, persistent problem since 1995, in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration, the US Department of Agriculture, and 10 state health departments: those of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee.Collectively, this FoodNet network covers about 16% of the US population, which seems like a small number, and in some ways it is, but that grid of laboratories and surveillance sites has typically been capable of detecting foodborne problems before they've scaled-up into something more significant, growing from a localized issue into a nationwide outbreak. They're generally not capable of preventing them outright, but they can keep them relatively small and regionalized.FoodNet was created in response to a series of huge, deadly E. coli outbreaks in 1992 and 1993, and in contrast to other common methods of detection, which are usually passive and thus a little slow to respond to potential outbreak indicators, this program was built around active surveillance methods, which means proactively gathering data from medical treatment records, hospitalizations, and even individual patient outcomes (including their travel history)—anything they can pair with diagnostic samples to better understand the context surrounding the products that contain dangerous pathogens—and this was intended to help them move faster to identify issues, triangulate the source of those issues, and then implement measures to solve these issues before they harm a bunch of people, as happened during another round of E. coli outbreaks in 2012 and 2013, which sickened dozens of people across multiple states, about half of the afflicted requiring hospitalization, in addition to at least one known death.At its height, FoodNet tracked 9 pathogens, so it cast a pretty broad net, encompassing the most common and dangerous of these potential vectors, including listeria, campylobacter, shigella, vibrio, yersinia, cyclospora, cryptosporidium, e coli, and salmonella.In July of 2025, as part of a larger wave of sweeping cuts across the nation's safety nets, tracking systems, and scientific agencies, the CDC, under the second Trump administration, downgraded FoodNet so that it was only mandatory to track salmonella and E coli—the rest were no longer on the docket, because these agencies no longer had the budget to keep tracking them.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent, and as of the day I'm recording this ongoing, outbreak of cyclospora-induced cyclosporiasis, what we know about this outbreak, and what might happen next.—Cyclospora cayetanensis is a protozoan that can infect human beings, and which is usually transmitted via contaminated fruits and vegetables. This contamination is typically the consequence of inadequate sanitation standards, as it's not transmitted via coughing or blood or anything like that, it's carried via human feces.So this parasite gets into a human, sporulates, which means it releases a bunch of spores within its host, and then usually between 1 and 2 weeks after entering its new host, the host develops cyclosporiasis, the disease caused by cyclospora producing all those spores. This disease is notorious for sometimes causing what's colorfully called explosive diarrhea, alongside general watery bowel movements, intense cramping and severe gas and bloating, and that's sometimes paired with nausea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration, due to all the frequent, intense, watery bowel-movement-related output.This is how cyclospora reproduces and spreads: it infects a host, that host has urgent diarrhea for a while, usually more than two days, sometimes as long as several weeks or even a month or more, with all the pain and discomfort and life-disrupting issues you might assume from that sort of persistent symptom, and then it sometimes finds new hosts via that watery output.Sometimes, cyclospora works its way into food systems because sanitation standards at a particular farm will be not good. Specifically, workers will sometimes not be allowed to take restroom breaks, and they'll simply do their business right there in the field; so if they're sick and can't afford to take a sick day, and might be fired if they do, or if they're asymptomatic, which some people infected with cyclospora are, they might do their business in the field, unaware that waste can then go on to spread this pathogen into the food system. It's also possible that someone just doesn't wash their hands properly after using the rest room, and then gets back to work, picking vegetables or operating at some other level along the food processing and packaging assembly line, and it gets into the system that way.In a typical year, the United States records around 2,700 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis, though on occasion it's as low as just a few hundred cases, the majority of which show up in health records in the Spring and Summer, between May and August. That range includes relatively mild outbreaks, so while this is a persistent issue, it's also not generally a massive one, at least compared to other pathogens of note. It's not pleasant for those who come down with it, of course, but not something that has triggered an organized response from the top, because of its meager scale, and because (again, while super unpleasant) people with healthy immune systems generally recover without treatment, even if that recovery can take a while. The biggest risk for most people who catch this disease is dehydration, though immunocompromised people are also sometimes given antibiotics by their doctors, the typical dosage curing about 96% of the people who receive it.There was a larger-than-usual outbreak of cyclosporiasis in the US in 2020, which caused a confirmed 1,241 cases across the country, a whole lot to land all at once, and there were no reported deaths resulting from that outbreak. Between 2018 and 2021, there were about 6,000 total confirmed cases across the US, so an average of about 2000 per year.As of mid-July 2026, the CDC has officially confirmed 1,645 cases of this illness, with another 5,100 probable or potential cases currently under investigation. If the majority of those still-under-investigation cases are confirmed, that would mean more people have already been infected as a result of this one outbreak in the first half of 2026 than were infected between 2018 and 2021, which again, is a range that includes the large outbreak that happened in 2020.Also worth noting about those numbers: that's federal-level, CDC reporting, and it's generally understood that there's a significant lag between local-level data and those that have percolated up to the national level. As of the day I'm recording this, Michigan's health agencies alone have more than 5,000 confirmed and suspected cases, Ohio has nearly 1,200, and other states, which are still investigating, are seeing dozens of confirmed cases, including 43 in Wisconsin, 69 in Maryland, and a few already, in the early stages of investigation, in Nevada.Over the past week, officials flagged shredded lettuce sourced from Mexico and sold by a company called Taylor Farms as the likely source of at least some of these cases, and that's led to a recall on lettuce produced by the company in 27 states. Over the weekend, the CDC found cyclospora in iceberg lettuce from the company's Mexican operations, as well, and this lettuce was part of a batch that wasn't included in the recall—so there's a good chance the recall will expand beyond the currently targeted products, which include shredded lettuce destined for Taco Bell locations in five states, and the kitchens of several other fast food chains, as well.Taylor Farms is one of the largest producers of fresh fruits and vegetables in the United States, and their products are sold all over the place, from lower-end fast food restaurants to more expensive grocery stores like Whole Foods.Taylor Foods has announced that it's voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from shelves, even though none of its branded, in-store salad kits have been clearly tied to the outbreak, and Taco Bell has said that it's voluntarily removing all potentially affected lettuce from its locations in the five most-impacted states, indefinitely removing lettuce sourced from the implicated supplier; other brands are following suit, no one wanting to be associated with this outbreak, but everyone wanting to show would-be customers that they're taking it seriously.Interestingly, the FDA doesn't actually require that Taylor Foods tell the public who their products go to—which other entities might be selling infected produce. So they've released lists of product numbers, and again, many of their customers are taking the initiative to announce the removal of this lettuce from their shelves or food, without being prompted, but there's still some fog-of-war here, because of Taylor Foods' decision not to be clearer with that product list.So this is already the largest recorded cyclospora outbreak in US history, there have been 141 confirmed hospitalizations from the CDC, and that number is likely larger, again because it takes a while for state-level numbers to work their way up to the CDC, and to be reconfirmed at that level. Also important to note here is that a lot, perhaps even the majority of people who suffer from cyclosporiasis will never show up in these data, because they just suffer silently, either not realizing they have this parasite, or not seeing the point of going to the hospital, maybe paying an arm and a leg to do so, just to get prescribed anti-diarrheal medication and told to take fluids, same as they can do at home. People who do have any kind of immunodeficiency issues or potentially confounding factors, like being older or very young, are being encouraged to seek medical help, though, as they're more likely to suffer more serious consequences after contracting this disease.It's currently unclear where precisely this outbreak came from, and it's puzzling how an outbreak of this scale might have happened, as, in the words of Matthew Moore, a food safety microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who was quoted in the New York Times, this many infections suggest there was a “massive degree of human fecal contamination.” So probably not just a farm laborer who forgot to wash their hands after using the rest room, something much more substantial than that.Also, because cyclospora takes a while, a week or two, to create enough spores in its host to trigger cyclosporiasis, attribution of the infection difficult, which in turn makes tracking it back to its source difficult; which is part of why this outbreak, which has been going on for weeks, is still under investigation, not a solved problem with definitive answers and in-practice solutions.Right now, experts are recommending higher-risk foods are cooked to at least 158 degrees F, because that temperature kills this pathogen, and washing fresh produce doesn't always get rid of all the cyclospora on a contaminated piece of produce. Washing fresh produce certainly helps, and it's better than nothing, and scrubbing is even better. They also recommend avoiding high-risk foods when possible, though of course that won't always be possible for everyone, nor will it always be possible to get heads of lettuce rather than pre-made salads, though that's also advised when feasible.Also worth noting here is that even if the FoodNet program was still up to full power, tracking all 9 of those original pathogens, it's unlikely this outbreak would have been prevented.It likely would have flagged that something was up earlier on in this outbreak, though, which could have led to faster action in the afflicted regions. It probably would have allowed professionals to note hot spots faster, as well, which is what this kind of surveillance system is for: it doesn't prevent, but it does make it more likely experts will have the chance to keep things from spiraling out of control.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/well/cyclospora-taylor-farms-lettuce-taco-bell.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/well/eat/cyclospora-stomach-bug-what-to-know.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/business/cyclospora-taylor-farms-lettuce.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/well/eat/lettuce-safety-cyclospora-outbreak.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/health/cyclospora-taylor-farms-mexico-taco-bell-lettuce.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclosporiasishttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8471761/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00494755261437456https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/16/diarrhea-outbreak-cyclospora-parasite-cdchttps://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.htmlhttps://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/expert-qa/cyclosporiasis-outbreakhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2026/07/17/taco-bell-warned-investors-about-cyclospora-before-the-outbreak-and-these-other-chains-did-too/https://www.today.com/health/disease/cyclosporiasis-outbreak-foods-avoid-map-cases-parasite-diarrhea-2026-rcna588006http://cnn.com/2026/07/18/health/cyclospora-what-to-do-wellnesshttps://www.statnews.com/2025/12/22/american-food-safety-funding-cuts-foodnet/https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-disease/cdc-cuts-back-foodborne-illness-surveillance-programhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-quietly-scaled-back-surveillance-program-foodborne-illnesses-rcna227089https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langas/article/PIIS2468-1253(25)00305-X/fulltexthttps://www.cdc.gov/foodnet/about/index.htmlhttps://www.food-safety.com/articles/10646-cdc-slashes-foodnet-surveillance-from-eight-foodborne-pathogens-to-twohttps://www.thermofisher.com/blog/food/foodnet-active-surveillance-for-food-safety/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/health/taylor-farms-iceberg-lettuce-recall.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/cyclospora-lettuce-recall-taylor-farms-taco-bell-8c8bb30fbd100e0c246cffeff6983753 This is a public episode.

For the 1000th time, I sat down and hit record. This is a goal I have worked toward for 10 years. When I launched the podcast on March 15, 2016, my goal was to “feel this out.” I wanted to see if I liked podcasting as a medium for coaching, community building, and exploration. I quickly knew this was going to be my jam. If you don't know the origin story of this show, you might be surprised to learn that this little show that could largely exists as it does today because I was hit with a cease & desist within 48 hours of launching. The way that situation transpired lit a fire underneath me. In that messy moment of panic, I knew that if someone was going to try to take me down, I was taking this show TO THE TOP. The show became a Top 10 show in multiple categories on Apple Podcasts. Today, in a sea of 3.4 million podcasts, our show is ranked in the top 0.5% globally. The show has been downloaded over 7 million times in over 140 countries. It is currently a Top 30 Management show - a category of over 30,000 shows. These numbers are fun for me to see. But the story behind the numbers is so much more impactful. In this episode, I'm sharing the story of the show. From that cease & desist to building an international community of women, to landing on international stages to speak, to Glennon Doyle Zoom bombing our membership community, to a global shutdown, to failed IVF, PTSD/Anxiety/ADHD diagnoses, rebranding and renaming the show, a Masters Degree, returning to my roots in healthcare, and supporting Fortune 10 companies, this has been a wild ride I could have never predicted. The impact of the show is so much bigger than me. And, that was always the plan. That was the goal. You all showed up and listened. You did the work. You got uncomfortable. You changed your behavior. You made your life better. You modeled to others how to make their lives better. Collectively, we have changed lives. Thousands, if not millions, of lives impacted across 7 million downloads and 5.25 million hours of listening. For my fellow math nerds, that's 600 YEARS of continuous listening. I set out to do this alone. But I am never actually alone. At any given moment, someone somewhere is listening in. In every moment, one of you is with me. We are constantly in this together. And that means everything to me. In this with you. Always. Links Mentioned: Early Bird Enrollment is open for my Aligned Leadership Incubator!
