The push for a negotiated end to the nearly four-year war hit another stalemate this week, after a five-hour meeting in Moscow between U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, ultimately producing no results. The Kremlin described the talks as constructive, but said compromises had not yet been found.Republican Matt Van Epps was projected to win a special election yesterday, to fill a vacant U.S. House of Representatives seat. Van Epps thanked Trump multiple times following his projected victory, padding the leader in the chamber heading into next year's midterm elections. Van Epps is a former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of General Services, and defeated Democratic opponent, state Representative Aftyn Behn.President Trump held his ninth Cabinet meeting of the year on Tuesday, as scrutiny grows over a deadly boat strike in the Caribbean. Some lawmakers claim Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike that killed two survivors, calling it a war crime. Hegseth denies it, saying Admiral Frank Bradley made the call and that it was the right decision under the “fog of war.” Trump defended the strikes, saying they saved hundreds of thousands of American lives, and warned that land strikes on cartels are coming soon, not just in Venezuela, but in any country sending illicit drugs into the U.S.

The Canadian consensus on immigration cratered last year. In the fall of 2024, an Environics poll found that for the first time in a quarter century most Canadians felt there was too much immigration. Under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, the country experienced one of the biggest periods of immigration growth in its history, but after the shift in public opinion, the Liberal government reversed course. Despite big reductions to immigration levels, most Canadians still think rates are too high.Today, The Decibel is looking at how Canada's relationship with immigration significantly changed, what it's meant for the country and the people who have immigrated to it, and where we go from here.Tony Keller, Globe columnist and author of Borderline Chaos: How Canada Got Immigration Right, and Then Wrong, will walk us through what motivated Trudeau's dramatic changes to the immigration system and how they impacted the country. And then, Rupa Banerjee, professor and Canada Research Chair in Economic inclusion, Employment and Entrepreneurship of Canada's Immigrants, will explain the effect that whiplash-like changes to the system have had on recent immigrants and our economy.Questions?

Show Notes In this episode, Ernie discusses the impact of AI on the legal profession, emphasizing that while AI may replace surface-level tasks, the best lawyers will thrive by focusing on deeper, strategic thinking and understanding complex legal outcomes. Takeaways The best lawyers won't just survive this wave of AI. They're gonna dominate. If your work is mostly surface level, AI is gonna replace you. To remain indispensable, focus on outcomes and hidden risks. Understanding the chessboard of legal scenarios is crucial. Lawyers must evolve their skills to adapt to AI advancements. AI should be seen as a tool, not a replacement. Strategic thinking is key in the legal profession. The future of law requires innovation and adaptation. Surface-level tasks can be automated, but deeper insights cannot. Indispensable lawyers will thrive in the AI era.

“Even though the panelistswere huge aligner users, the statements are not so in favour of aligners, they are surprisingly reasonable.” “It's very difficult to find a real aligner experts without a conflict of interest. Almost impossible.” “If you explain the differences honestly, most of my extraction patients choose fixed appliances. I'm not selling aligners.” “Direct printing is the real breakthrough, but right now it has too many shortcomings to be a standard technology.” “I am pessimistic. We must fight for our profession — against the idea that technology can replace orthodontists.” In this episode, I'm joined by Vincenzo D'Antò, lead author and contributing author of this year's two major consensusstatements on clear aligners. We explore the key findings from these landmark papers and how they translate into real-world clinical practice. Vincenzo shares his own views on aligners, their limitations, and his pragmatic approach to integrating hybrid mechanics, particularly skeletal anchorage, into alignertreatment. We discuss recent innovations in aligner therapy, distinguishing those with genuine clinical value from those that are ineffective. We also hear Vincenzo's candid concerns about the future of orthodontics. 03:00 – Why did youcreate this Delphi aligner consensus?05:03 – How were thealigner experts selected for the study?06:51 – Do conflictsof interest affect aligner consensus statements?11:49 – Crowding: Whydoes the Alharfi 2025 SR show better outcomes for aligners?15:49 – 7 vs 10 vs 14days: How often should patients change aligners?20:03 – Are complexmovement failures a design flaw or inherent to aligners?22:19 – What trulylimits clear aligner biomechanics?25:46 – Is hybridorthodontics the future of predictable aligner treatment?29:35 – What hybridmechanics do you use most in practice?32:05 – Can wereliably treat extraction cases with aligners?36:03 – Is betterOHRQoL worth compromised occlusal outcomes?39:11 – Do alignerswork for growing patients, or is this just marketing?41:34 – Why ishigh-quality aligner research still so weak?44:30 – Final advice:What should orthodontists focus on for the future?

Peter Bruce argues, in this Podcasts from the Edge monologue, that while the G20 Summit in Johannesburg at the weekend went well, and that the West gathered around to support President Cyril Ramaphosa, he was unable to secure unanimous consensus on the Leaders' Declaration he cleverly introduced at the beginning, rather than at the close, of the gathering. Whatever the gloss, the absence of the US and the the decision by Argentina not to support the Summit final communique, introduced for the first time a crack in the G20 edifice that may be difficult, if not impossible, to repair. It wasn't all Ramaphosa's fault but while the gathering was excellent, it didn't quite succeed. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Detroit Lions Podcast: OT Draft Fits for the Lions November Draft Lens From the Detroit Lions Podcast It is late November and the Detroit Lions conversation already includes the NFL Draft. Playoff expectations sit high, but roster building never sleeps. The focus here is offensive tackle. Four names came up. Three look like fits for Detroit. One does not. Two earned deep dives, and both would impact the trenches in different ways. The Lions value athletic thresholds, positional movement skills, and verified testing. Measurements matter. So does tape that shows recovery, spatial control, and finish. Day 1 versus Day 2 will hinge on those numbers. Early Day 2 is a sweet spot if the board and need align. Brad Holmes has shown a willingness to maneuver when a specific player matches the profile. Caleb Tiernan's Decker-Style Fit at Left Tackle Caleb Tiernan of Northwestern checks boxes that tie directly to Taylor Decker's role. He is a left tackle with real experience and Detroit roots at Country Day. He carries a big frame at six foot seven and 329 pounds. The size looks honest. The game reflects it. Tiernan is not the smoothest mover, but he is coordinated and functional. He gets into space, engages, and finishes. He uses his length well and fires his hands with improving placement. If he loses early, he knows how to recover. That ability shows on film and matters on Sundays. The profile reads leader with grit and snarl. The style echoes Decker's steady control more than twitchy flash. On consensus boards he sits near 62. On a sharper internal board he ranks 39. That places him squarely in the second round. For the Detroit Lions, that screams early Day 2 consideration. It might be earlier than their natural slot, which invites the familiar question about moving up. Athletic testing will be important. He is the least athletic of the discussed quartet, but not a bad athlete. If the numbers clear Detroit's benchmarks, the fit stays strong. Blake Miller's Surge and a Right Tackle Contrast Blake Miller of Clemson brings a different energy. A four-year starter at right tackle with a small taste of left tackle, he is an ascending talent. The tape this season is the best he has played. Footwork pops. Hips and shoulders sync. He keeps his feet alive and wins in space. He seals corners. He down blocks with force. The athletic profile is real and functional in the open field. Miller's arc shifted from a summer fifth or sixth round projection to a top-20 grade on that same internal board. Consensus has him near 65. The weight is the pivot. He was listed at 295 in spring. He is pushing 300 now. If he hits 305 to 310 by the combine, first round is on the table. The style differs from Penei Sewell. Miller is more speed and space than pure power. That contrast can work in Detroit's ecosystem. Two tackles. Two lanes to upgrade depth and plan succession. As the Detroit Lions press forward, the offensive line remains the identity. The draft will offer answers at left tackle and right tackle. The board already hints at where to look. #DetroitLions #Lions #DetroitLionsPodcast #CalebTiernan #BlakeMiller #TaylorDecker #PeneiSewell #LeftTackle #RightTackle #EarlyDay2 #FirstRoundOnTheTable #AthleticThresholds #PositionalMovementSkills Learn more about your ad choices.

In this rich conversation, Camden Bucey sits down with Dr. Chad Van Dixhoorn—historian, pastor, and professor at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte—to explore the remarkable work and enduring wisdom of the Westminster Assembly. Together, they discuss how the divines pursued theological clarity through collaboration, not compromise, and how their humility and respect shaped confessional standards that have guided the Reformed church for centuries. Van Dixhoorn explains why the Westminster Confession should be seen as "a document with compromises, not a compromise document," how its chapters differ in tone and theological armor, and what this teaches us about confessional fidelity today. The conversation also explores doctrinal preaching—how to preach theology without losing the text—and why confessions must unite rather than constantly be rewritten. With warmth and clarity, Dr. Van Dixhoorn reminds us that Reformed unity is not built on uniformity, but on the shared pursuit of truth before the face of God. 00:00 Introduction and Word & Deed Ministry 01:18 At the Reformation and Worship Conference 04:10 Introducing Dr. Chad Van Dixhoorn and the Westminster Assembly 06:00 Consensus, Collaboration, and Compromise in the Assembly 09:30 The Process of Drafting the Westminster Standards 12:00 Respectful Debate and the Spirit of the Divines 19:30 Comparing the Westminster and Heidelberg Traditions 25:30 Confessional Revision, Study Committees, and Doctrinal Reports 33:00 Doctrinal Preaching: From Text to Theology 40:50 The Joy of Teaching and Ongoing Research on the Divines

In October, President Trump and President Xi Jinping met for the first time in Trump's new presidential term. The meeting ended with commitments from both countries designed to lower trade tensions —– something many observers greeted with relief. But, according to Watson Senior Fellow and Director of the Watson School's China Initiative Lyle Goldstein, perhaps more noticeable was what was left out of this meeting; almost all of the pressing security issues that exist between the two countries, including the one Goldstein sees as the “most dangerous of all”– the U.S. relationship with Taiwan.On this episode, host Dan Richards speaks with Goldstein about the state of U.S.-China relations over Taiwan, why he believes this issue represents one of the world's greatest risks to human safety, and why now is the moment to reconsider the U.S. foreign policy consensus on this geopolitical flashpoint.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1282 JFK & the X-Rays that Shatter the Official Story November 22, 1963 wasn't the day democracy died—it was the day it was murdered in plain sight and autopsied with criminal fraud. Physicist Dr. David Mantik returns to Strange Planet with explosive New EVIDENCE - optical density measurements of the original JFK autopsy X-rays, proving beyond doubt that the president's head wounds were surgically altered on film before the body ever reached Bethesda. And, Cold War historian Walter Herbst reveals how the assassination wasn't chaos, but consensus policy born from covert operations and geopolitical necessity. This is the original Deep State “deep-fake”—forged evidence that still controls the narrative today. GUESTS: Dr. David Mantik, MD, PhD – A radiation oncologist and physicist who personally examined the JFK autopsy X-rays and photographs at the National Archives on nine separate occasions. Author of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis, The JFK Assassination Decoded: Criminal Forgery in the Autopsy Photographs and X-Rays, and the groundbreaking new book JFK Was Killed by Consensus. His peer-reviewed optical density data proves the autopsy images were altered—making him the foremost forensic challenger to the official record. Walter Herbst – Cold War historian and author of the landmark two-volume series It Did Not Start With JFK, which traces the intelligence networks, propaganda machines, and Berlin/Cuba crises that made Kennedy's removal official—if unspoken—policy. His latest work, Last Resort Beyond Last Resort, exposes why the assassination guaranteed no second invasion of Cuba and protected NATO's flank in Berlin. Herbst doesn't peddle conspiracy theories; he documents the paper trail of the original Deep State in action.

Eric Marshall, principal at Leavitt Partners, an HMA company, shares how collaboration, not competition, is the way to move healthcare policy forward in a polarized environment. In this episode of Vital Viewpoints on Healthcare, he discusses how multi-sector alliances are advancing solutions to common pain points that too often impede progress on issues like drug pricing, supply chain security, and rural health access. Drawing on years of experience bringing stakeholders together, Eric explains why consensus-building is essential to creating durable, effective policy solutions and how trust, persistence, and shared purpose can overcome even the deepest divides in Washington and beyond.

Welcome to The Sleep Edit, the podcast that helps tired kids and parents sleep better. Each week, Dr. Craig Canapari and sleep consultant Arielle Greenleaf break down evidence-based strategies you can actually use. Why are nap transitions so confusing—and why do they so often derail nights? In Part 2 of our napping series, Craig and Arielle dig into the real-world challenges families face when moving from 3→2 naps, 2→1 nap, and eventually dropping naps entirely. Using concrete examples, sleep-need math, and practical troubleshooting, this episode explains exactly what to look for and how to navigate every transition with less stress. You'll learn • How to know when it's time to drop a nap • The signs of a nap transition vs. a temporary “nap strike” • Why total 24-hour sleep matters more than wake-window charts • What typical daytime sleep looks like for infants and toddlers • The sleep math behind transitions (high vs. low sleep-need kids) • How daycare schedules can derail naps—and what parents can control • Strategies for capping naps, shifting schedules, and preventing bedtime battles • When early morning awakenings actually signal too much daytime sleep Chapters 00:00:01 — Welcome & Episode Setup 00:01:07 — The 3→2 Nap Transition: When It Starts 00:02:48 — Biology of Sleep Drive & Late Naps 00:03:43 — Why Late Bedtimes Are So Common Now 00:04:59 — How Total Sleep Needs Shape Nap Schedules 00:06:32 — Wake Windows vs. Real Sleep Need 00:07:52 — Consolidated Naps & Nap Length Targets 00:09:41 — How to Use the Third Nap as a Bridge 00:11:06 — Example: Designing a 13.5-hour Sleep Day 00:12:59 — Signs It's Time to Drop From 3→2 Naps 00:14:45 — Why Transitions Are Messy (and Normal) 00:15:56 — The 2→1 Nap Transition: Age & Signs 00:17:46 — Developmental Milestones That Disrupt Naps 00:19:06 — Case Example: Drew (13 Months) 00:20:57 — How to Start the 2→1 Transition Step-by-Step 00:22:54 — Shifting Nap Timing & Early Bedtime Strategy 00:23:56 — Tracking Sleep: Apps vs. Diaries 00:24:53 — Why Smart Monitors Often Mislead Parents 00:26:50 — When Nights Get Worse Because of Nap Issues 00:27:59 — The 1→0 Transition: What Truly Signals Readiness 00:29:18 — Daycare Nap Challenges & Parent Options 00:31:56 — Capping Naps to Protect Nighttime Sleep 00:33:30 — Nap Strikes vs. True Transitions 00:36:06 — Early Morning Awakenings & Too Much Day Sleep 00:38:30 — Final Thoughts & The Greenleaf Windows Links Napping spectacular episode 1 CIO episode of the Sleep Edit Dr. Canapari's article on Le Pause Sleep training Period of purple crying Dr. Canapari's article on napping Dr. Canapari's article on sleep needs in children Dr. Canapari articles on the science of why children stop napping Arielle's website References Paruthi, S., Brooks, L.

It's claimed the need for the construction of a new hospital is the 'general consensus' of the Midwest's elected representatives. It follows a meeting, oranised by Fine Gael, regarding Midwest healthcare which was the second of its kind since the publication of HIQA's review into emergency capacity in the region. Shannon Sinn Féin TD, Donna McGettigan, says members of the opposition attended the meeting to put forward the viewpoint that all three of the health watchdog's recommendations be implemented. She says they were reassured the region's elected representatives are all pulling in the same direction.

This week, Jason and Matt sit down with Stefan Molyneux, a philosopher, author, and host of one of the longest-running philosophy shows in the world, Freedomain. For decades, he has been a prominent voice in the liberty movement and a foundational thinker on the principles of peaceful parenting. The conversation kicks off immediately, jumping straight into one of the most polarizing topics on the right: the rise of Nick Fuentes. Jason asks Stefan for his take on the current brouhaha surrounding Fuentes's popularity and whether he sees parallels between the establishment's attack on Fuentes and the political persecution he himself faced years ago. We explore whether this signals a major shift in the culture—a new Gen Z political class that's rejecting sanitized talking points and demanding raw authenticity, even if it's inflammatory. From there, we dive into the mechanics of modern propaganda, using the recent Charlie Kirk "out of context" smear as a perfect case study of how the establishment manufactures its own reality. This leads to a raw discussion on the new political climate and the uncomfortable debate for all libertarians: pragmatism vs. principle. When does sticking to "libertarian purity" actually undermine the fight for liberty itself? Finally, after diagnosing a culture addicted to coercion, we pivot to the ultimate white pill: the solution. Stefan lays out how the principles of peaceful parenting are the fundamental antidote to this entire cycle, and gives his advice to parents trying to raise sovereign, resilient children in a post-truth world.

Geeky Milestones: Mini PCs. Smart Glasses, and False Consensus in Tech
What makes a great venture capitalist — luck, timing, or the ability to see what others miss?Brij Bhushan (Prime Venture Partners) and Pratik Poddar (Nexus Venture Partners) talk about the long game of venture capital; the waiting, the lessons hidden in mistakes, and the emotional ride of backing founders through years of uncertainty.With Pratik, we dive into some of the biggest names in the Nexus portfolio: his first meeting with Rapido's founder before he even joined Nexus, the Meesho pitch that became a big miss, and his first call with Zepto's founders. Nexus was one of Zepto's earliest investors and has backed the company in every round since. Pratik speaks with great clarity about conviction, timing, and what truly defines great investing.Brij reflects on his decade of building Magicpin, what it means to “build the same company three times,” and how that journey reshaped the way he now works with founders. Having lived through the chaos of scaling, near-failure, and reinvention, he brings the founder's perspective back into venture capital.Together, Brij and Pratik capture the essence of the VC game — how the industry is evolving, why consensus rarely creates outliers, how real decisions are made inside funds, and why the best founders often seem “too early” rather than too late. We talk about everything that shapes a VC's everyday life, and above all why Brij and Pratik believe it's still the best job in the world.0:00 – Trailer01:59 – Biggest learnings from 10 years as a VC05:00 – Rapido as a counterintuitive bet06:49 – Meesho was a big miss10:20 – Why Venture capital is the best job?12:35 – Every meeting could be life-changing14:54 – Knowing you are NOT in an Operating role16:55 – How often are VCs wrong about market size?18:58 – Where to invest in Consumer companies?25:33 – How consumer VCs bet on behavior change27:12 – Is e-commerce truly built for young users?28:10 – How do Investors deal with Bias?30:04 – Are VCs only remembered for success stories?37:45 – Why good deals rarely come from Consensus?39:24 – The first call with Zepto's founders41:10 – How often do you meet truly exceptional founders?43:45 – Should VCs react to market shifts?46:42 – How long VC's take to make an investment decision?50:53 – How founders should approach fundraising54:27 – Can India produce 50 decacorns in the next few years?55:51 – Best way to play VC game is to have right fund size56:42 – Not Knowing is a pre-requisite for a VC1:00:41 – Exceptional founders have this superpower1:02:02 – Where Indian founders have a real edge1:05:14 – Building AI in India: local maxima or global maxima?1:09:00 – When will Indian Co's acquire Indian startups for $Billions?1:11:55 – Why Zomato & Swiggy aren't true Consumer Co's?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Australia correspondent Nick Grimm spoke to Lisa Owen about how political consensus on how to deal with climate change continues to prove elusive with the federal opposition in turmoil over whether it will go on supporting the nation's Net Zero target.
I am Dominic Bowen, and I am the host of the International Risk Podcast.At 7am on the 15th of August, after ten days of marathon sessions and a final overtime session that stretched more than 24 hours, the Chair of the UN Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution formally adjourned INC-5.2. What was meant to be the final round of talks on a global plastic treaty ended not with a breakthrough but with collapse. Despite two draft texts, delegates left Geneva without a consensus on a legally binding agreement. The deadlock revealed stark fault lines: on one side, a majority of countries demanding binding rules to tackle plastics across their full lifecycle — turning off the tap at the source. On the other hand, a minority of petrochemical and oil-producing states are pushing for a nationally determined approach, focused narrowly on recycling and waste management after production. The result? Paralysis by consensus: a process where the need for unanimity allowed a small group of obstructionists to stall the world's response to a rapidly escalating crisis.Today, we're joined first by Christina Dixon, Ocean Campaign Leader at the Environmental Investigation Agency. For several years, Christina and her team at EIA have been pushing for a global treaty to tackle plastic pollution and she was present at the UN Environment Assembly in 2002 when nations adopted the resolution to begin negotiations on a legally binding treaty to end plastic pollution. Christina has more than 15 years of experience driving change through policy and strategic communication, including her previous role as Global Campaign Lead at World Animal Protection, and holds degrees in both Broadcast Journalism and Media and Communications. Alongside Christina, we are joined by Alexandra Harrington, an international law scholar and practitioner specialising in international organisations, environmental and sustainable development law, corporate social responsibility, transitional justice and treaty regimes. She is Chair of the Plastic Pollution Task Force at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). She has published extensively, with recent books inlcuding International Law and Global Governance: Treaty Regimes and Sustainable Development Goals Interpretation. She holds a doctoral degree in civil law, in addition to a JD and LLM.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Eli Lopian, author of AICracy and founder of aicracy.ai, about how artificial intelligence could transform the way societies govern themselves. They explore the limitations of modern democracy, the idea of AI-guided lawmaking based on fairness and abundance, and how technology might bring us closer to a more participatory, transparent form of governance. The conversation touches on prediction markets, social media's influence on truth, the future of work in an abundance economy, and why human creativity, imperfection, and connection will remain central in an AI-driven world.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Eli Lopian introduces his book AICracy and shares why democracy needs a new paradigm for governance in the age of AI. 05:00 They explore AI-driven decision-making, fairness in lawmaking, and the abundance measure as a new way to evaluate social well-being. 10:00 Discussion turns to accountability, trust, and Eli's idea of three AIs—government, opposition, and NGO—balancing each other to prevent corruption. 15:00 Stewart connects these ideas to non-linearity and organic governance, while Eli describes systems evolving like cities rather than rigid institutions. 20:00 They discuss decade goals, city-state models, and the role of social media in shaping public perception and truth. 25:00 The focus shifts to truth detection, prediction markets, and feedback systems ensuring “did it actually happen?” accountability. 30:00 They talk about abundance economies, AI mentorship, and redefining human purpose beyond traditional work. 35:00 Eli emphasizes creativity, connection, and human error as valuable, contrasting social media's dopamine loops with genuine human experience. 40:00 The episode closes with reflections on social currency, self-healing governance, and optimism about AI as a mirror of humanity.Key InsightsDemocracy is evolving beyond its limits. Eli Lopian argues that traditional democracy—one person, one vote—no longer fits an age where individuals have vastly different technological capacities. With AI empowering some to act with exponential influence, he suggests governance should evolve toward systems that are more adaptive, participatory, and continuous rather than episodic.AI-guided lawmaking could ensure fairness. Lopian's concept of AICracy imagines an AI system that drafts laws based on measurable outcomes like equity and happiness. Using what he calls the abundance measure, this system would assess how proposed laws affect societal well-being—balancing freedoms, security, and fairness across all citizens.Trust and accountability must be engineered. To prevent corruption or bias in AI governance, Lopian envisions three independent AIs—a coalition, an opposition, and an NGO—cross-verifying results and exposing inconsistencies. This triad ensures transparency and keeps human oversight meaningful.Governance should be organic, not mechanical. Drawing inspiration from cities, Lopian and Alsop compare governance to an ecosystem that adapts and self-corrects. Like urban growth, effective systems arise from real-world feedback, where successful ideas take root and failing ones fade away naturally.Truth requires new forms of verification. The pair discuss how lies spread faster than truth online and propose an algorithmic “speed of a lie” metric to flag misinformation. They connect this to prediction markets and feedback loops as potential ways to keep governance accountable to real-world outcomes.The abundance economy redefines purpose. As AI reduces the need for traditional jobs, Lopian imagines a society centered on creativity, mentorship, and personal fulfillment. Governments could guarantee access to mentors—human or AI—to help people discover their passions and contribute meaningfully without economic pressure.Human connection is the new currency. In contrast to social media's exploitation of human weakness, the future Lopian envisions values imperfection, authenticity, and shared experience. As AI automates production, what remains deeply human—emotion, error, and presence—becomes the most precious and sustaining form of wealth.

This week, another special road trip episode featuring legendary bluegrass supergroup The Special Consensus recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. The Special Consensus, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, is a bluegrass band that has achieved a contemporary sound with traditional roots in five decades of performing. Band leader and founder Greg Cahill is a recipient of the prestigious Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) and was inducted into the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA) Hall of Greats. Special Consensus has released 21 band recordings and received seven awards from the IBMA and two Grammy nominations. The band's sound is grounded in a deep appreciation and understanding of bluegrass music, incorporating both the drive and harmonies of the traditional sound with the more contemporary sounds and repertoire of today. With the foundation of Greg's unique banjo playing style and the vocal prowess of the 2023 IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year Greg Blake (guitar), Dan Eubanks (bass) and Brian McCarty (mandolin), these musicians effortlessly support each other and consistently maintain their bluegrass center whether they're playing a jazz-tinged instrumental or a song from any of their award-winning recordings. These four talented vocalists and instrumentalists follow their creative desires without straying too far from their roots. https://www.specialc.com/biography In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1991 archival recording of Ozark original Randall Hylton performing his original song “Over the Counter Drugs,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins presents part two of his series recounting the history of the ill-fated Ozarkland Jamboree, a 1960's country music variety show based in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas that never made it on the air.

Trump's Diplomatic Triumph: Expanding the Middle East Peace Consensus GUEST NAME: Conrad Black Conrad Black discusses the ceasefire deal between Gaza, Hamas, and the Israeli Defense Forces. He praises President Trump for his astute diplomacy in attracting sympathy from Arab states and non-Arab Muslim countries apart from Iran, such as Indonesia and Pakistan. Black considers this the greatest diplomatic success in the Middle East since the establishment of the state of Israel. The consensus, achieved by expanding the negotiating scope, is that established states are preferable to terrorist operations. 1936 RAMALLAH
