The headlines may fade, but the need remains. Families have lost their homes. Children have lost their parents. Communities are facing disease, limited medical care, unsafe living conditions, and the long road to recovery. This isn't just about responding to a disaster—it's about standing with people long after the cameras are gone. Current needs include: Hygiene supplies Antibiotics and essential medications Respiratory support and medical equipment Food and clean water Long-term humanitarian assistance for displaced families As followers of Christ, we're called to care for those in need and to be the hands and feet of Jesus. "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2 Please continue praying for the people of Venezuela, for the rescue teams, medical workers, volunteers, and every family affected by this tragedy.

Data center development is a fast-growing industry, with projects popping up in seemingly every corner of the country. But that's not been the case in West Virginia so far.

„Earned darf kein Anhängsel der Kampagne sein – es muss am Anfang mitgedacht werden.“ In der neuen Episode von #WhatsNextAgencies spricht Kim Notz mit Julia Reisch, Partner Brand Activation, und Christoph Schnabel, Head of Creative Strategy bei MSL, über den Wandel hin zu einem Earned-first-Mindset und darüber, warum Reichweite allein heute nicht mehr ausreicht, um Marken relevant zu machen. Julia und Christoph beschreiben, warum Earned Media längst mehr ist als klassische PR. Kommunikation entsteht heute in einem Ökosystem aus Communities, Creatorn, Kultur und Content. Deshalb müssen Earned-Perspektiven bereits zu Beginn der Kampagnenentwicklung einbezogen werden – nicht erst dann, wenn die Idee bereits steht. Im Gespräch geht es außerdem darum, welche Rolle Creator künftig spielen und warum sie immer häufiger schon in der Konzeptionsphase eingebunden werden. Co-Creation wird damit zu einem wichtigen Erfolgsfaktor für Kommunikation, die echte Resonanz erzeugen soll. Die beiden zeigen zudem auf, warum ihre Aufgabe immer weniger darin besteht, einzelne Maßnahmen umzusetzen, sondern immer stärker darin, unterschiedliche Disziplinen, Partner und Kanäle intelligent zu orchestrieren. Genau diese Fähigkeit wird aus ihrer Sicht künftig den Unterschied machen – und darüber entscheiden, wofür Agenturen bezahlt werden.

Behind every emergency is a story of resilience, sacrifice, and unseen challenges. Karla Perez Solorzano, Executive Director of Healing Heroic Healers, shares her journey from 25 years as a frontline healthcare professional to creating a mission focused on supporting first responders through trauma, burnout, and healing.   Through an honest conversation with Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza, Karla explores the importance of whole-person care, building resilience, and creating communities that support the people who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Her story is a powerful reminder that even heroes need care, compassion, and space to heal.  Key Takeaways:   First responders carry invisible wounds, and prioritizing their mental, emotional, and physical well-being is essential to sustaining the people who care for our communities.   Whole-person healing extends beyond traditional healthcare by addressing emotional resilience, supportive relationships, and access to restorative resources.   Building resilience before adversity strikes creates a stronger foundation to navigate trauma, stress, and life's unexpected challenges.   Offering grace, compassion, and understanding to healthcare professionals acknowledges that caregivers are human and often carry burdens we cannot see.   Communities become healthier when individuals, organizations, and healthcare providers work together to support both those receiving care and those delivering it.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities. If you're looking for trusted financial wellbeing resources, we invite you to connect with their team and take the next step toward greater financial confidence.  About Karla Perez-Solorzano:  Karla V. Pérez-Solórzano is the founder of Healing Heroic Healers, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting frontline healthcare workers and first responders by giving them direct access to natural and holistic resources that help them refresh, refuel, and rebalance. Inspired by her own experiences with personal loss, caregiving, trauma, and service in healthcare, Karla is passionate about creating opportunities for frontline workers to restore balance, care for themselves, build deeper reservoirs of resilience and well-being, and access the support they need to thrive.  Connect with Karla Perez-Solorzano at:  https://heroichealers.org/ https://www.facebook.com/healingheroichealers/  https://www.instagram.com/healingheroichealers/  https://www.youtube.com/@HealingHeroicHealers/streams  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  https://www.youtube.com/@smallchangesbigshiftsco    Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

What allows a system to endure long after its creator steps away?In this episode of Crypto Hipster's Curtain Calls, Jamil Hasan brings together four conversations that, on the surface, appear to have little in common—but together reveal one of the central themes of Inheriting Saturn.Featuring:David "Oz" OsterczyDrew MillerSara NematiAmelia TomasicchioFrom creativity and resilience to community and adoption, each guest explores a different stage in the lifecycle of enduring systems.Creation begins the journey.Preparation allows systems to survive uncertainty.Communities carry ideas forward.Adoption transforms innovation into everyday reality.This episode examines why stewardship—not ownership—is ultimately what determines whether organizations, technologies, and ideas stand the test of time.Curtain Calls is a companion series to Inheriting Saturn, connecting years of founder conversations into a broader exploration of leadership, responsibility, trust, and the human side of systems.

Host Ben Plumley speaks with Solange Baptiste Simon and Othoman Mellouk of the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) about their packed treatment pre-conference and concerns that treatment is being sidelined amid heavy focus on PrEP and prevention. They argue the prevention-versus-treatment framing is false, emphasizing a continuum from testing to prevention to treatment, and describe on-the-ground chaos as HIV services are integrated into broader chronic care with overstretched health workers and communities. They discuss a “strange” AIDS 2026 marked by funding cuts and reduced PEPFAR influence, uneven country leadership, and a shift from scientific innovation to challenges of financing, manufacturing, regulation, and equitable delivery of long-acting technologies. They caution against product-driven responses, stress human rights and stigma realities, and conclude that community power, involvement, and resourcing remain central to sustainable solutions. 00:00 Welcome and Guests 01:08 Treatment Preconference Highlights 03:13 Prevention vs Treatment Debate 05:00 Continuum of Care Reality 07:34 Clinic Integration Chaos 10:07 Conference Avoiding Hard Truths 14:58 Post PEPFAR Future 18:39 Product Hype vs Access 22:58 Fiscal Space and Priorities 25:13 Beyond Biomedical Fixes 30:19 2030 Targets Reality Check 32:29 Crossroads and Policy Choices 36:15 Community Hope and Closing 38:23 Final Thanks and Signoff Guests: Solange Baptiste Simon Executive Director, ITPC Othoman Mellouk Access to Medicines & Diagnostic Lead, ITPC ITPC Global https://itpcglobal.org AIDS 2026 https://www.iasociety.org/conferences/aids2026 Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

The history of sports in Turkey is deeply contested. Over the decades, journalists, pundits, non-professional historians, sports scholars, and everyday people have offered competing narratives about the origins of modern sports in the late Ottoman Empire.  In The Ottoman World of Sports: Refashioning Bodies, Men, and Communities in Late Imperial Istanbul (University of Texas Press, 2026), Murat Cihan Yıldız tells the story of how Istanbul's Muslims, Christians, and Jews—gymnastics teachers, football coaches, weightlifters, journalists, athletes, and fans—created a gendered and class-stratified civic project that promoted athletics as a source of fun, beauty, and moral education. Influenced by the emerging global vogue for organized sports, all boys from the expanding middle class of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century imperial capital were expected to exercise and compete on the playing field in order to develop into moral men. Yet even as the embrace of modern athletics transcended ethnoreligious divisions, it did not erase them. Drawing on a wide range of archival research in multiple languages, Yıldız shows that sportsmen created new communal boundaries in team affiliations, fandom, and sports media. Adeptly reconstructing Istanbul's imperial culture as it was experienced more than a century ago, The Ottoman World of Sports recovers a lived imperial culture whose defining features were shaped by its multiethnic, multireligious, and multilingual sportsmen.

Recent cases across the country have generated intense public interest and, in some instances, mistrust surrounding death investigations. Families want answers. Communities want transparency. Law enforcement wants to conduct a thorough investigation without compromising the evidence. Tonight, we're pulling back the curtain on what actually happens during a medical death investigation—from the first 911 call to the difficult task of notifying a family and ultimately determining how someone died."

Why would this happen? Lindsey Reiser from CBS News joined Vineeta on The WCCO Morning News

Earlier this month, the Pharmacy Foundation of Oregon announced it was awarded more than $5 million from the Oregon Health Authority to expand pharmacy access in rural and frontier communities.     The need is particularly acute in Oregon. According to an analysis by AP in 2024 using data from the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs, Oregon has the second fewest retail pharmacies per capita in the nation. Pharmacy closures can be particularly hard for patients in rural areas who may have to drive hours to the next available pharmacy to fill their prescriptions.    To help this population, PFO will use the OHA funds to install secure lockers in Burns, Baker City, Gold Beach and other locations for patients to pick up their prescriptions. The nonprofit will also roll out a prescription delivery service staffed with a community health worker who is also a bilingual pharmacy technician to serve customers in Heppner, John Day, La Grande and other locations. PFO is also hoping to launch a telepharmacy service where a pharmacist would be available for video consultations with patients and would be able to remotely supervise a technician as medications are dispensed.   Brian Mayo is the executive director of the Oregon State Pharmacy Association and the Pharmacy Foundation of Oregon. Ann Murray is a pharmacist and the co-owner of Murray’s Drug, an independent, family-owned pharmacy with locations in Heppner, Condon and Boardman. Murray and Mayo join us to discuss the OHA grant and the challenges facing pharmacies and the rural communities they serve.

Billboards have been popping up across rural Ohio with hateful messages targeting the children of LGBTQ+ families. These advertisements are promoted by a well-funded organization dedicated to overturning same-sex marriage equality, banning in vitro fertilization, and making surrogacy a punishable crime. Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams help listeners unravel the anti-reproductive justice roots of this campaign, exploring how politics that target LGBTQ+ families are interconnected with anti-abortion agendas that seek to control all of our bodies.

The traditional path to homeownership was once straightforward: rent an apartment, save for a down payment, buy a home and settle in. Today, that journey looks very different. Rising costs, shifting priorities and a growing demand for flexibility have created new opportunities for residents who want the space and lifestyle of a home without the immediate commitment of ownership.  Brett Forney, managing broker of Prim Realty and managing partner of Prim Properties, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss how Parkland Companies is creating solutions for those changing needs. From operating successful build-to-rent communities to launching an in-house brokerage, the company’s approach creates a seamless path for residents, whether they choose to rent, buy or transition between the two.  Build-to-Rent Demands a Different Mindset  Build-to-rent communities may resemble traditional neighborhoods, but operating them requires a very different approach than managing apartments or selling homes. With fewer homes, tighter operating margins and individual maintenance needs, every detail matters. Residents also bring different expectations. Many are living in a single-family home for the first time and need guidance on everything from smart home features to seasonal maintenance.  “You’re teaching residents how to live in a home instead of managing them in a unit,” Forney said.  Resident expectations have also reshaped the industry. While homeowners often make upgrades over time, renters expect a polished, move-in-ready experience from day one.  “Renters are far pickier than owners,” Forney said. “When you’re renting, it’s like leasing a luxury car. I want that luxury from day one.”  Meeting Residents Where They Are  Longer career transitions, rising homeownership costs and the desire for maintenance-free living have shifted priorities for many households. Rather than committing to a mortgage and unexpected repair bills, residents value the flexibility of professionally managed communities where maintenance is only a text away.  That shift is reflected across Prim Properties’ portfolio, where average household income exceeds $100,000 per home. These residents aren’t renting because they have no other option. They’re renting because it offers the flexibility and convenience they want today.  Communities like Sugarloaf Landing and the newly opening Sugarloaf Crest in Lawrenceville further support that lifestyle. The neighboring communities share amenities while offering walkability to schools, grocery stores and everyday conveniences, creating a neighborhood experience that’s increasingly difficult to find.  Creating a Seamless Path to Homeownership  As Prim Properties built relationships with residents across its communities, a common question emerged: What happens when renters are ready to buy? Many residents wanted to stay connected to the Parkland Communities experience but needed guidance on the next step. That opportunity led to the launch of Prim Realty, creating a direct path from renting to homeownership.  “Whether our residents want to rent from us forever or rent for a short time until they purchase, whichever direction their American dream goes, we’re going to be there to help their dreams become a reality,” Forney said.  Prim Realty is also introducing programs designed to make homeownership more attainable, including assistance with closing costs and down payments, along with financing partnerships that may offer qualified buyers options such as 100% financing, no private mortgage insurance and competitive interest rates.  The brokerage’s first communities include Parkside at Grove Landing in Warner Robins, along with upcoming communities in Snellville and Stonecrest, expanding Parkland Communities’ growing portfolio of attainable for-sale housing across Georgia.  Growing With Purpose  As Prim Properties and Prim Realty continue expanding, growth remains rooted in a simple philosophy: serve residents and communities with excellence. Over the next two years, Parkland Communities expects more than 3,000 homes to be occupied or under construction while continuing to grow its property management, brokerage and construction teams. Yet success isn’t measured solely by the number of homes delivered.  “I want people, when they think of Parkland and Prim, to know that we’re different,” Forney said. “We’re not just looking for the fast dollar, but we are the helpers.”  That commitment shapes everything from customer service to community partnerships, reinforcing a mission to provide quality housing while helping more families achieve their version of the American dream.  To learn more about Prim Properties, Prim Realty and Parkland Communities, listen to the full episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio or visit primprop.com and parklandco.com.  About Prim Properties & Prim Realty  Prim Properties specializes in the management of build-to-rent communities, delivering customized leasing, operations and resident services designed specifically for the BTR market.

Surveillance systems and infrastructure are being built at an alarming rate in the United States. Often, contracts are signed with surveillance corporations without public input or oversight. At the same time, a national movement that spans the political spectrum is rising up to challenge the security state. Communities are removing infrastructure, canceling contracts and passing moratoria. Clearing the FOG speaks with Ed Vogel of Southerners Against Surveillance Systems and Infrastructure about the extent of surveillance on the streets, in our schools and elsewhere, and how people are investigating what systems are in their communities and are organizing to end mass surveillance.

Buying a house or condo is becoming harder for many people in Minnesota. The math is simple. Home costs are rising and most people's incomes aren't keeping up. But solutions are more complicated. Communities need to build more low-cost homes, help buyers with down payment assistance and lower-interest loans, and help current homeowners maintain and stay in their homes.

The land just across Minnesota's border with Ontario, Canada, looks a lot like northern Minnesota. It has a similar landscape of remote forest, water, and, right now, wildfire. There are more than 100 fires burning in Ontario and they've destroyed two First Nations communities, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Others have had to evacuate, including the Gakijiwanong Anishinaabe Nation, which has ties to the nearby Bois Forte Band of Chippewa in Minnesota. Many evacuees are staying in Thunder Bay, where local organizations are working to support them. To learn more, MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with Cora McGuire-Cyrette, a member of the Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek First Nation and CEO of the Ontario Native Women's Association. For the last couple weeks, her organization has shifted focus to helping people displaced by wildfires.

On this week's episode of the Mongabay Newscast, we speak with features writer Ashoka Mukpo, who traveled to southeastern Liberia to investigate what satellite images indicated was a spike in deforestation over a relatively concentrated period. Along with video production coordinator Juan Maza, Mukpo documented illegal cacao plantations in the rainforests in the county of Grand Gedeh. In this interview, he explains how and why these plantations are appearing now in Liberia. "What we saw … probably the best metaphor for it is that there's a kind of gold rush happening in this part of Liberia, except it's not gold that people are after, it's cocoa," Mukpo says. "And this makes sense, given the context that in the last few years there was a huge price spike for cocoa, and this had to do with a lot of factors, including climate change and a poor harvest in Côte d'Ivoire. And so that's pushing this huge number of migrant workers from Côte d'Ivoire into Grand Gedeh." At the end of the year, the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is set to take effect. The EU legislation would ban the importation of certain commodities produced via deforestation, and one of those commodities is cocoa. And much of the cocoa being grown in Liberia right now would potentially fall under this ban, Mukpo says. Furthermore, setting up the tracking infrastructure to ensure commodities meet EUDR standards is expensive. While nations like Côte d'Ivoire have already invested in this, Liberia has not. That leaves a lot of farmers who are betting on this commodity vulnerable. "A lot of farmers are gonna suffer just from lack of clarity. And I could see a scenario where suppliers choose to just not buy from Liberia because if there's no way for them to know where these beans are coming from, they could get in a lot of trouble if they do buy, and I think that's the real concern," Mukpo says.

This podcast episode features an enlightening discussion with Dr. Allen Tennison, a distinguished theologian, as we delve into the intricate dynamics of spiritual leadership. The primary focus centers on the qualities that constitute a healthy leader in spiritual contexts and the profound implications of misusing spiritual authority. We explore the distinction between empowering leadership and domination, emphasizing the necessity for accountability that encompasses the entire church community. Furthermore, we address the alarming signs and risks associated with spiritual abuse, asserting the collective responsibility of the community to care for those who have been harmed. Through Dr. Tennison's insights, we aspire to cultivate a deeper understanding of effective spiritual leadership, fostering environments that nurture growth and healing in the name of Jesus.Takeaways: The essence of spiritual leadership is rooted in empowerment rather than domination, emphasizing a leader's role to uplift and support others. A healthy spiritual community requires accountability that is shared among all members, rather than concentrated solely in leadership. Recognizing the signs and dangers of spiritual abuse is essential for fostering a safe and nurturing environment within a church community. Communities must take responsibility for caring for individuals who have experienced spiritual abuse, ensuring they receive the support and healing they need. Effective spiritual leaders are called to model Christ-like behavior, leading with humility, self-sacrifice, and a commitment to the well-being of their community. Healing from spiritual abuse often necessitates the involvement of a supportive community, rather than relying solely on the leaders who may have caused harm.

Despite growing political resistance, investment in data centers isn't slowing. Ariana Salvatore explains why supply constraints may actually accelerate AI capital spending.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Head of Public Policy Research at Morgan Stanley. Today, I'll be talking about why we still expect robust AI capital spending in spite of some rising political pushback. It's Thursday, July 23rd at 10am in New York. It should be no surprise to our listeners that data center pushback, a topic that we've been following for some time, has been growing louder. But in 2026, it's accelerated meaningfully. Data we track suggests that an estimated $156 billion of projects were canceled or delayed in 2025. This year alone, in just the first quarter, we've seen almost that same exact number. The opposition is coming from several directions.Communities are raising concerns about rising electricity bills, environmental pressures related to water use, and the local quality of life effects of large-scale construction. But it's also coming from lawmakers across the aisle. State legislatures with both Democratic and Republican lawmakers have been advancing this type of policy.At the same time, we're forecasting a little less than a trillion dollars of AI CapEx this year alone, and we think it's an increasingly important component of the macroeconomic growth outlook.So how do we square that circle? First, and most importantly, we think this is primarily a supply-side risk rather than a demand-side one. We don't expect the backlash to materially reduce projections for compute demand. Instead, it could widen the gap between that demand and the industry's ability to bring new capacity online through things like permitting delays, grid interconnection constraints, and local opposition.Despite that more difficult political and infrastructure environment, our internet team, led by Brian Nowak, remain constructive on AI capital spending. Our broader thematic estimate for total AI CapEX, including the neo cloud providers, stands at approximately $870 billion in 2026, and we actually see risks skewed even higher from here.So why is spending still increasing as the environment for building data centers becomes more challenging? There are a few reasons.First, the AI ecosystem remains compute constrained. The urgency to invest has not diminished. In fact, growing social opposition and political uncertainty ahead of the 2028 presidential election may actually be encouraging hyperscalers to begin projects earlier, which our credit strategists outline as a potential scenario here. A pull forward of demand before the political and execution risk grows even louder.Second, the timelines associated with data center construction have become longer. From groundbreaking to operational launch, projects can now take as long as three years or even more. That gives companies a strong incentive to begin developing future capacity well in advance, even if the political pushback is strong.And third, the underlying demand signal is not slowing. Global weekly token usage, which our analysts view as an important proxy for compute demand, has increased since early January. It's rising and continues to do so throughout the course of this year. So, in short, the pushback is real, but it appears to be reshaping the build-out rather than stopping it. That's why our base case is for a conditional build-out. We think projects are likely to face greater scrutiny, we think projects are likely to face greater scrutiny, longer delays, and more requirements related to environmental impact and community benefits.But ultimately, we still think they cross the finish line. That could mean higher costs, it could mean longer development timelines, and greater geographic dispersion of projects away from the largest existing data center markets. It could also accelerate the shift toward on-site and behind-the-meter power generation. Fuel cells, turbines, and energy storage are becoming increasingly important as operators look for ways to reduce their reliance on these lengthy grid interconnection processes, and that can benefit companies that are able to bring those solutions to the forefront. Meanwhile, our U.S. equity strategy team maintains a relative preference for hyperscalers over semiconductors over the next several months. As you heard our CIO and Chief Equity Strategist Mike Wilson explain yesterday, that's because the team sees the hyperscalers as early in discounting the market's renewed focus on CapEx discipline. Putting it all together, we see the growing pushback against data centers as representing a genuine risk to the pace, cost, and geography of the AI infrastructure build-out. But again, this isn't just a demand story, it's a supply story. And somewhat paradoxically, the scarcity and the uncertainty created by these constraints could actually end up pulling capital spend forward rather than reducing it.Thanks for listening.
