AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on the recovery from the recent California wildfires.

This week we're focusing on Suzy's recent Sniffari in Brighton, this time focusing on her visit to @soliflore_store, owned and run by Sarah. We will also be revealing our favourite of the new @the_rac_on_teur fragrances we've been exploring the last few weeks, and you can vote for your fave in the poll on our Instagram page, @onthescentpodcast. In this episode we also mention the wonderful kit Nicola's put together for those who share her anxiety about flying. Find out more about Zen in the Sky kits @outspokenbeautynicola. But now, let's flit to the fragrant trip to Brighton, and find out which scents Suzy fell for…Soliflore is one of those beautifully curated, cosy shops where walking through the door feels like coming home. Sarah's eye for design and detail is exquisite, with a large central table featuring an ever-evolving showcase of scents, and instead of blotters, there are silken handkerchiefs (stored in vintage tins) sprayed with each fragrance. Featuring a curated selection honed to what Sarah knows her customers are looking for, including beloved brands and some exclusives & indie houses Suzy had never heard of before, it's a place you could happily while away several hours sniffing your way around. And there are gorgeous cards, soaps, chocolates and great gift-y items to tempt every taste! In the short amount of time Suzy had, here are three fragrances she found at Soliflore and immediately fell for…@reserve_en_afrique Aube Lumineuse“The sun rises, flooding the great expanses of the sweeping plains, gracing the wilderness with its wash of pure light. The dawn's intense rays awaken these spectacular lands. Great herds rove majestically in the distance. Bright blue birds perch in the flat-topped acacia trees while giraffes stroll with leisurely grace. The sky is clear. The air is fresh.The fragrance opens with a luminous fresh burst of citrusy notes of Tangerine (South Africa) and Blood Orange (South Africa). A bright heart of fresh Orange Flower (Morocco) and zesty Ginger (Nigeria) is supported by woody base of Cedarwood Atlas (Morocco).”@saintritaparlor Signature Fragrance “Finest quality parfum. Limited unisex fragrance comprised of over 18 rare and organic essential oils. Handmade by Saint Rita Parlor in Los Angeles, California.Rita would tend to her rose garden whilst smoking a hand-rolled tobacco cigarette and drinking a whiskey and water.Notes: Whiskey, Tobacco, and Rose”@arquiste Almond Suede“By Calice Becker. Top notes are Bitter Almond, Honeycomb, Bergamot and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Concrete, Saffron, Neroli, Orange Blossom and Labdanum; base notes are Suede, Pine tar, Sugar and Vanilla Absolute. Almond Suede by Arquiste is a unisex gourmand leather fragrance inspired by Medieval Andalusia and its refined gourmand culture. It balances almond marzipan and suede leather, capturing the essence of the city of Córdoba and almond sweets.”Next week we'll be catching up with Part 2 of Suzy's Brighton Sniffari, and finding out what she went mad for @wild_iris_perfumery!#ad Meanwhile, we promised to pick just *one* favourite each of the fragrances we've loved exploring in our Raconteur Discovery Set II boxes, featuring the new ‘Australiscious' collection, and after MUCH prevarication, Suzy chose *Daintree Rain Tea* and Nicola chose *Killr Vanillr*! Don't forget to try code onthescent10 @bloomperfumery for 10 percent off discovery sets and full sizes (not sure how long code will still be active, as sets sold out a couple of times, but worth trying when checking out!)

Let's say your business runs on sun, sweat, and schedule precision. You've got crews in the field, materials that don't wait, and about 90 minutes to get it right before the product turns into a thousand-pound paperweight. That's the world Joseph Graziano lives in. He's the CFO of Quadrant Concrete and also the guy keeping the trucks moving, the forecasts dialed in, and the safety records spotless. Because in the mid-market, you don't get extra people. You get extra resourceful. Joseph shares how he helped transform a boots-on-the-ground concrete business into a data-forward operation without fancy titles, inflated budgets, or a fleet of consultants. From field-collected data to real-time cashflow forecasting, he's found the sweet spot where better reporting leads to smarter, calmer decisions. You'll also hear why operational transparency isn't just about ROI, it's about reducing chaos, building trust, and creating a culture where everyone sees what matters. If you're trying to lead your business through complexity without adding complexity, this episode can be your blueprint. Data doesn't have to be fancy to be powerful. It just has to work. Listen now and see what it looks like when grit meets insight.

Flowers Through Concrete: Explorations in Soviet Hippieland (Oxford University Press, 2021) is the first chronological history of Soviet hippies, tracing their beginnings in the 1960s through the movement's maturity and ritualization in the 1970s. It is also a rich analysis of key aspects of Soviet hippiedom, including ideology, kaif, materiality, and madness - both enacted and imposed. Flowers Through Concrete uncovers, in particular, the lost history of women who participated in the Soviet hippie movement. Fürst makes a number of important arguments in Flowers Through Concrete. Despite obvious antagonisms, she argues that Soviet hippies and late Soviet socialist reality meshed so well that a stable symbiotic, although hostile, relationship emerged. She asserts that personal evidence, such as oral history, is "one of the most exciting historical sources, whose weaknesses sometimes work for rather than against the historian". She engages seriously with and makes visible the role of her own authorial self-reflection in historical analysis. And, last but not least, as Fürst herself says, the story of Soviet hippies is a really good story. Amanda Jeanne Swain, PhD. Historian. Humanities Center executive director.

When concrete fails, who's really at fault—the material or the people using it? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, host Seth Tandett is joined by Dr. Jon and Rich to tackle the growing frustrations with Type 1L cement. They ask the hard questions: Is cement the problem? Are the specs off? Or is the industry just cutting corners? The conversation hits on the real-world consequences of poorly defined problems, regional quirks, and the disconnect between American and European concrete practices. If you're trying to figure out why your mix isn't performing the way it used to, this one's for you. What You'll Learn Is Type 1L cement actually the problem—or is it how we're using it? How do regional differences change concrete performance? What lessons can we learn from European construction practices? Why might specs that look good on paper still cause problems in the field? How can you prevent the cumulative effects of small material changes from derailing a project?

Project 2025 is reshaping the landscape of American governance in ways unseen for generations. Conceived by The Heritage Foundation and over a hundred allied conservative groups, with a sprawling document called “Mandate for Leadership” running over 900 pages, the project sets an ambitious course: consolidate executive power, overhaul federal agencies, and imprint a distinctly right-leaning ideology across the machinery of the state.The latest developments reveal sweeping changes since President Donald Trump's inauguration for his second term. With Elon Musk at the helm of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, implementation has not only started but moved at unanticipated speed and scale. Agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and USAID have been eliminated virtually overnight, mirroring the project's stated goal to "save $1 trillion" and rid the government of what its proponents call unaccountable bureaucracy. Tens of thousands of federal workers, including around 280,000 across 27 agencies, have been or are slated to be laid off, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. Agency leaders, especially in foreign policy, have been systematically replaced by ideologically vetted loyalists who, as one Project 2025 advisor put it, will "answer to the president" alone.One key feature of Project 2025 is the expansion of presidential powers. As Kevin Roberts of The Heritage Foundation declared, "all federal employees should answer to the president." The plan's architects rely on the controversial doctrine of “unitary executive theory,” giving the Oval Office greater leverage to direct previously independent agencies like the DOJ, FBI, FCC, and FTC. In practice, Biden- or Obama-era leaders have been removed, often bypassing Senate confirmation in favor of acting appointments drawn from the project's talent pool—a who's who of conservative legal scholars and former administration officials.Policy objectives are equally far-reaching. The executive order signed this February, for example, severely restricts federal hiring—agencies can now add just one new employee for every four who depart, with exceptions only for national security or law enforcement. By identifying redundant or statutorily nonessential agency components, DOGE is empowered to recommend consolidation or outright elimination, provoking intense legal and political battles. According to statements from union leaders such as NTEU's Tony Reardon, challenges are already underway: “We have taken the necessary action to file a lawsuit to uphold the law and stop this attack.” Simultaneously, the administration has pushed for return-to-office mandates, making remote work much less tenable for government employees.Project 2025's authors are explicit about their social agenda. The American Civil Liberties Union outlines how the blueprint would reverse decades of advancements on abortion rights, LGBTQ protections, and racial equity. The Mandate for Leadership contains provisions for undermining agency independence, tightening restrictions on civil service protections, and dismantling social safety net programs, all justified as aligning federal practice with conservative values.Concrete procedural reforms are visible in the State Department, where plans called for dismissing almost all leadership before January 2025 and installing those vetted for their ideological alignment with administration priorities. Kiron Skinner, who co-authored that chapter, rationalizes the overhaul as necessary because too many senior officials are “too left-wing” and insufficiently loyal to a conservative president. This, she believes, is essential to ensure agency cooperation with White House policy.Critics and analysts, from the ACLU to the Center for Progressive Reform, warn of “devastating consequences”—threats to workers, public health, civil rights, and the democratic process itself. Legal experts voice deep concern over the undermining of checks and balances and the risk of institutionalizing a more authoritarian model of executive power. Yet, for supporters, the project promises to make government leaner, more responsive, and ideologically coherent, echoing the Reagan-era ambitions of a smaller administrative state.In the weeks ahead, all eyes are on a series of forthcoming Supreme Court decisions that could determine the limits of this new presidential authority—and Congress's next moves as legislation is introduced to codify, or counteract, these transformative changes. As these milestones approach, the stakes for the federal workforce, the balance of power, and the country's democratic norms could not be higher.Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to join us next week for more insights on the forces shaping our nation's future.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.ai

Send us a textForging powerful business partnerships might be the key to unlocking growth you never imagined possible. When metal building dealers Jared Ledford and Eric Olson (the Steel Kings) faced customers walking away because they couldn't provide concrete services or pole barn options, they didn't just accept these limitations—they transformed them into opportunities through strategic collaboration.Meet Caleb Grimes, owner of GCM Construction and the missing piece in their business puzzle. What started as a simple contractor referral relationship evolved into something far more valuable. Caleb shares how his concrete expertise complemented the Steel Kings' building knowledge, creating a seamless experience for customers who previously had to coordinate multiple contractors themselves.The trio reveals the pivotal moment that changed everything: losing a substantial project because they couldn't offer post-frame buildings. Rather than continuing to turn customers away, they formed a partnership to expand their offerings, effectively capturing an entirely new market segment while maintaining their steel building foundation.This conversation goes beyond mere business strategy, touching on the personal growth required when venturing into new territory. "If you're not willing to get uncomfortable and learn something new, then it's not for you," Eric notes, highlighting how progress demands pushing beyond comfort zones. Caleb adds that local knowledge of building codes and permitting processes creates the trust necessary for customers to move forward confidently with larger projects.Perhaps the most profound insight comes near the end when Jared observes that success without collaboration leads to isolation: "Even if you are successful and you're not taking advice or working alongside others, you're going to be lonely, and lonely is not a good place to be, even if you're successful."Looking to grow your construction business? Listen to how one partnership transformed potential losses into exciting new ventures, and consider what connections might help you capture opportunities you're currently missing.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: J Money LLCShed Geek MarketingRealworks Labs

Project 2025 represents a seismic attempt to reshape the machinery of American governance, guided by a philosophy that seeks to place virtually all executive power directly under presidential control. Initiated by the Heritage Foundation and an alliance of over a hundred conservative organizations, its centerpiece is the “Mandate for Leadership,” a massive policy playbook published in 2023 designed to act as the transition manual for a potential new administration following the 2024 election.At its core, Project 2025 seeks to “destroy the Administrative State,” meaning it aims to strip federal agencies of much of their independence and dismantle what its authors claim are layers of unaccountable and biased bureaucracy. Proponents, such as Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation, argue that “all federal employees should answer to the president,” encapsulating the project's vision of a centralized, powerful executive branch. To achieve this, Project 2025 recommends the widespread dismissal of current senior officials across agencies like the Department of State—and their immediate replacement with individuals selected for their loyalty and ideological alignment, bypassing traditional Senate confirmation hurdles.One of the most controversial levers in the playbook is the resurrection of Schedule F, a proposed employment classification that would allow the president to convert career civil servants into at-will employees, stripping them of long-standing job protections. This maneuver would, according to its critics, allow the White House to purge thousands of nonpartisan officials and replace them with political loyalists—an approach described in detail by advocacy outlets and union leaders as a recipe for “political overreach or abuse of power."The document's scope spans 30 federal departments, each with a dedicated chapter and specific 180-day action plans—right down to pre-drafted executive orders waiting for a president's signature on inauguration day. Concrete proposals include eliminating entire agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and USAID, mass layoffs affecting hundreds of thousands of federal workers, and strict mandates requiring employees to return to office buildings, often ignoring remote work policies established during the pandemic. Since January 2025, the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, has acted on this blueprint with remarkable speed, eliminating agencies and laying off more than 280,000 federal employees and contractors across 27 agencies in just a few months.In terms of social policy, Project 2025 is unmistakably ambitious. The playbook calls for aggressive curbs on abortion rights, restrictions on LGBTQ protections, and a reversal of progress regarding racial and immigrant rights. Critics such as the American Civil Liberties Union warn that these measures, if implemented, could erode civil liberties and tip the balance of American governance toward an “imperial presidency.” Legal scholars, as referenced by Wikipedia, raise alarms that this model risks undermining the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the independence of key regulatory and law enforcement bodies.Supporters, however, frame these moves as an overdue correction. Kiron Skinner, author of the State Department chapter, claims the agency is overrun by left-leaning officials and needs a leadership overhaul favoring those loyal to a conservative president, though she famously could not cite specific examples of deliberate obstruction during her tenure when pressed in a 2024 interview.The latest developments underscore both the swiftness and controversy with which Project 2025 is moving forward. President Trump's administration is already well underway in executing its most dramatic provisions, facing a slew of lawsuits from federal employee unions and advocacy groups.

Thinking about medical school but worried you'll crack under nonstop feedback, grueling hours, and the pressure to put patients ahead of everything else? In Episode 2 of the Jack Westin Pre-Med Podcast, hosts Mike and Molly dive into three gut-check questions every future doctor must answer before hitting “submit” on their AMCAS:0️⃣ Can you take constructive criticism without shutting down?• Why med-school feedback feels like “drinking from a fire hose” – and how to turn it into growth fuel.• Sports-coach mindset shifts that make feedback your superpower.1️⃣ Are you truly ready to put others first?• The real costs of a medical career – missed family events, 3 a.m. pages, laundry piling up.• Balancing empathy for patients with the bare-minimum self-care that keeps you functional.2️⃣ Can you trust yourself and the process?• Concrete ways to explore medicine (shadowing, scribing, informational interviews) so your decision isn't a guess.• The one mindset reframing that helps you stay steady when advice from mentors contradicts.You'll walk away with a clearer, more honest picture of the road ahead—and a checklist to decide whether medicine fits your life, values, and mental stamina.Want to learn more?

It raised money and worked with Australia Zoo, and after months of wrangling the crocs have been rehomed at a local private sancutary.

In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Seth Tandett breaks down the 2010 “State-of-the-Art Report on Use of Limestone in Cements” that helped launch Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) into the U.S. market. You'll hear what the report got right, what it left out, and why Europe's cement playbook may not fit American concrete. If you're in the industry, this episode will help you question the assumptions behind the biggest cement shift in decades. Takeaways What happens to concrete strength when limestone content isn't properly optimized? Could higher limestone levels reduce your mix's sulfate resistance? How does increased limestone affect carbonation depth and long-term durability? Is PLC more likely to cause long-term shrinkage or expansion issues? Why are curing practices in Europe so different—and does it matter? How critical is mix design when using PLC instead of traditional cement? Are we relying on research we haven't actually read or fully understood? Chapters 01:57 Exploring the 2011 State of the Art Report 04:25 Positive Aspects of Portland Limestone Cement 05:49 Cautions and Concerns with PLC 13:25 Comparative Analysis: Europe vs. US Practices 19:20 Conclusion and Importance of Research ============================= Take Your Knowledge Further – Join Concrete Logic Academy!

When a Lowe's store was built over a suspected burial site tied to a missing girl, it seemed she might be haunting the aisles. Years later, a night shift cashier at the Kroger next door began experiencing something far more terrifying than boredom. Doppelgängers, vanishing coworkers, slamming freezer doors, and a scream in the night—culminating in a chilling sight: a pair of legs with no body. Could the ghost of the missing girl be haunting the aisles, still waiting to be found?
