In 1937, a researcher named Agnes Young spent years analyzing more than a century of women's fashion and found something the industry has mostly ignored ever since: silhouette doesn't change randomly.   It rotates through the same three shapes in sequence, decade after decade. Bell. Column. Bustle. Predictable enough that once you know where you are in the cycle, you stop chasing trends and start navigating them.   This episode maps the cycle, places us in it right now, and shows you how your body's design determines which phases work naturally for you and which ones you can strategically minimize.   Understanding the silhouette cycle gives you the map of the fashion trend territory; your body's design gives you the "you are here" dot.   Let's connect! If you've already discovered part of your Style DNA and you're not sure what's still missing, the free 30-minute Style System Synthesis call is where we look at what you already know about yourself and figure out what you still need. To suggest a podcast topic, send email to hello@signaturestylesystems.com. Want to learn more about how to discover your Style DNA? Get started with The Congruence Code.

Chuck Todd reads the tea leaves on a building Democratic wave: primary turnout is up 35% over 2022 while Republican turnout is down 4%, and Todd argues voter behavior is a far better predictor than polling — though it's a tea leaf, not a guarantee. He then digs into an underappreciated dynamic that could decide Senate control: governor's races make the weather. Texas, Chuck argues, is now more plausible for Democrats than Iowa. And South Carolina, which Republicans never expected to worry about, just got more expensive after Ralph Norman told supporters to write him in rather than back Darline Graham. The second half is a five-alarm fire at the Pentagon. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned this week over Hegseth blocking Army modernization by firing the generals leading it — the latest in a purge that has left the Army without a chief of staff for months and cut four-star positions from ten to five, all during an active war. Chuck’s read is that this is a deliberate gutting and argues the fired and recently resigned generals have an obligation to speak up, because silence doesn't protect the institution. He closes with what he calls the cancer in American politics — the House — using Jared Golden's lobster fishing bill as the perfect illustration: Golden had to vote for a Republican rule just to get a floor vote on his own legislation, then got accused by leadership of a breach of trust for representing his constituents. That's the disease, Chuck argues, and Democrats will inherit every bit of it. Documentarian Brian Knappenberger joins the Chuck Toddcast to discuss Turning Point: Generation 9/11, out on Netflix September 2nd — a film built around a striking fact: more than half of Americans were either born after 2001 or were too young to remember it. Knappenberger's aim was to bring that generation into the moment, capturing not just the attack but the fear and uncertainty that followed, including the attacks everyone braced for that never came. He points to a news clip in the film where 63% of Americans said they'd trade freedom for security, and to the AUMF passed almost immediately with Barbara Lee as the lone no vote. He and Chuck revisit the genuine moment of global unity — the only time NATO's Article 5 has ever been triggered — and Bush's real effort to reassure American Muslims, progress on Islamophobia that Knappenberger argues has since been squandered. The back half is a hard-nosed accounting. Driving the Taliban out was a success; the Iraq war took America's eye off the ball; intelligence agencies genuinely do communicate better now. But al-Qaeda was only a few hundred people who exploited a vulnerability, and the domino effect produced ISIS, something far larger. Knappenberger talks about interviewing kids who lost parents that day — including a pilot's daughter still trolled online by a Truther movement that social media made possible — and about Marines at Abbey Gate, many not yet alive on 9/11, expressing real conflict about what it was all for. Chuck’s question hangs over it: after 25 years of Pentagon budgets, what exactly did we get? And with no meaningful congressional oversight of the Iran war, the founders' decision that a king shouldn't declare wars feels less like history than a warning. Knappenberger's hope is simple — that we remember the fear well enough not to repeat the mistakes it produced. Finally, Chuck updates his ToddCast Top 5 list of senate seats most likely to flip, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment, and previews week 1 in college football.

On this episode: AI infrastructure has become a political issue at the local level, with recalls, ballot measures, and state preemption emerging as tools communities use to weigh in on whether or not Data Centers should come to town. As the 2026 midterms approach in November, Leslie Graves, CEO of Ballotpedia, and host Norman Leahy explore why data center decisions fall primarily to city councils and county commissions rather than state or federal officials, what candidate surveys reveal about voter concern, and what to expect as communities head to the polls this fall.

This episode is packed with your best economic ideas from around the world and a penguin interview. It all comes together in this final session of Summer School 2026.Pack your parka, we're headed to Antarctica. The continent nobody owns, but everyone benefits from and plenty of economic activity if you know where to look.First, we'll travel back in time to the late 1970s when NPR was a scrappy young network, with a synth soundtrack, and tons of heart. Science reporter Ira Flatow took a trip to the South Pole that put NPR on the news industry map. We'll hear an excerpt where he brings us along through what life is like on the ice, including a memorable interview with the wildlife.Then we look inside McMurdo Station, the largest human settlement and research base on Antarctica to hear from a listener who managed the store at the base back in the 1980s. Normal retail rules do not apply. We'll also speak with an economist who has estimated the continent's monetary value, while asking questions like “why put a price tag on this uninhabitable land”? She makes the case we should consider the environmental benefit as a service.But, we can't let the episode and the series wrap without marking our achievements! You did it! As part of our graduation celebration, we hear from your fellow members of the summer school class of 2026. Listeners like you who have written in from around the globe with provocative economic ideas that could make life better for all of us if we just have the will to do it. Man did you all deliver on sending in ideas. We've curated our favorites. Way better than speeches.And don't forget your totally real, but not legal, diploma by taking our short online test.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1663DM Rachel Platten thought having kids would kill her creativity. It did the opposite. She says creating a child is the most creative act there is, and now she pulls from a wider, wilder range of emotion than ever before. But the real gold is her pre-show ritual. Three columns. Column one: every fear and worry. Column two: her actual job, just breathe, be present, have fun. Column three: God's job, which is everything else. She writes "go God, go" and gives Him a checkmark when He comes through. Taylor Swift once told her something that changed how she survives packed seasons: you don't get days off, you get moments off. Small, honest, and genuinely funny.

Japanese true crime and Japanese folklore, one candle at a time.In June 1981, a Japanese literature student in Paris asked a Dutch classmate to come to his apartment and help him with his German pronunciation. Renée Hartevelt was twenty-five. She said yes because she was the kind of person who noticed when somebody was sitting on their own.Issei Sagawa confessed within days. He was never convicted, never imprisoned, and never spent a single night in a cell. He spent the next thirty-six years being interviewed, published, booked and paid — and at one point, employed as a restaurant critic.This episode pairs his case with the jikininki: the Buddhist hungry ghost, cursed to devour the dead every night through a throat too narrow to swallow anything at all. A creature no court can touch, no prison can hold, and no executioner can reach — one that ends only when somebody finally decides to stop feeding it.Two stories about an appetite that was never the crime.It was the sentence.⸻Contains: graphic violence, cannibalism, sexual violence (referenced, not depicted), and detailed discussion of a real victim. Listener discretion advised.Chapters 00:00 The Lighting 02:40 The Priest at the Hermitage 15:30 Renée 20:40 The Woman in the Ground-Floor Apartment 27:30 The Eleventh of June 36:00 The Hole in the Law 40:00 The Godfather 43:30 The Rite 50:00 The Ones Who Keep The Candles Lit⸻There is an old Japanese game. A hundred candles are lit in a windowless room. Every story told puts one out. Nobody agrees on what arrives when the last one dies — only that you should not be there to see it.This is Candle 001.Ninety-nine to go...

After a gap of many years following physical incapacity, Vini Reilly's Durutti Column is back. In this episode some benchmark tracks from the band and the artists they influenced.

On a Thursday episode of Hot Takes, Eric Goodman and Troy Renck react to the Nuggets trading Peyton Watson to the Cavaliers for draft picks as part of a 3-team deal with the Clippers. Did the Nuggets offseason just go from a D to an F? Denver is now expected to pivot and target DeMar DeRozan. Would DeRozan be a fit on the Nuggets roster? Plus, Troy wrote a column on Jahdae Barron not worthy of being a starter right now. At what point, do we say the Broncos missed on that draft pick?

Provider production reports can reveal far more than which clinician produced the most. When production numbers are viewed without context around capacity, schedule utilization, experience, and procedure mix, they can create inaccurate comparisons and unproductive conversations. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and practice coach Miranda Beeson explain how to evaluate production by provider as a management and coaching tool rather than a scorecard. You will learn how to connect production with capacity, identify what is influencing each provider's results, and use the data to create clearer expectations and better opportunities for your team to succeed. To learn how to get more useful information from your provider production reports, listen to Episode 1084 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Provider production reports should be used as decision-making and coaching tools rather than simple scorecards.Production comparisons should account for differences in schedule capacity, clinical responsibilities, experience, and procedure mix.Capacity measures how much of a provider's available clinical time is actually being utilized with patients in the chair.Production and schedule utilization should be reviewed together to determine whether each provider has an appropriate opportunity to produce.Practice owners should investigate why providers or specific days perform differently instead of assigning blame based on production totals alone.Reviewing successful and unsuccessful days with the team can reveal scheduling, case acceptance, and service-mix opportunities.Clear expectations and collaborative review of production data can support provider development and associate retention.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro02:19 Why production reports matter04:00 Evaluating associate production with schedule utilization.06:15 Defining provider capacity.07:58 What practices get wrong with production reports.12:42 What healthy practices do differently.15:57 A practical exercise for reviewing production and capacity.18:00 Reviewing successful and unsuccessful days with the team.19:00 Developing providers and supporting associate retention.20:00 Closing thoughts.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy. Family time is the best time, and is often spent on a golf course, a volleyball court, or spending the day boating at the beach.More Helpful Links for a Better Practice & a Better Life:Contact Gina to learn more about ACT: gina@actdental.comThe Best Practices Show: https://www.actdental.com/podcast/Smile Source Community Hub: https://www.actdental.com/community-hubUpcoming Events & Workshops: https://www.actdental.com/events/Smile Source: https://www.smilesource.com/Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they sift through the wild Democratic primary for governor in Wisconsin, Islamist attacks in New York City described as mental health issues, USA Today's bonkers column tying defenders of the WNBA's Caitlin Clark to lynch mobs in the 1960s, and the government failing to track hundreds of billions in grants to the states.First, they dig into the dysfunctional Democratic primary for governor in the Badger State. The frontrunner is an avowed Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidate. The governor's preferred candidate had to drop out because her own staff cooked the books and the campaign ran out of money. And the other candidates are a mess too. Jim and Greg pop the popcorn.Next, they sigh as two obvious Islamist extremist stabbings in New York City get described as possible hate crimes but also possible mental health issues. They also wince while remembering that Mamdani will play a prominent role in the 25th anniversary observances of 9/11 terrorist attacks in just a few weeks.Then, they rip USA Today sports columnist and relentless woke warrior Nancy Armour for denouncing defenders of Caitlin Clark as white nationalists and comparing them to the lynch mob that killed Emmett Till in 1955. Jim and Greg discuss the insanity of that analogy. Jim also details how the WNBA is thoroughly committed to financial failure.Finally, they groan as a new watchdog report shows that we cannot trace the final destination of nearly 75 percent of $958.6 billion in state grants.Please visit our great sponsors: LarinecoRight now, Larineco is offering our listeners up to 50% off at https://BuyLarine.com/3MLNoble GoldOwn the metal the future depends on with the help of Noble Gold.

Valenti is in disbelief over a USA Today column by Nancy Armour about Caitlin Clark.

Mike felt compelled to begin the show with his thoughts on a USA Today column from Nancy Armour about Caitlin Clark's flopping. He expanded on how he feels that this is part of a bigger issue with sports media before the guys did a CFB Blitz and discussed what NBA executives have to say about Jalen Duren not having a contract yet.
