So you have a property to sell and someone comes along and says that they'll buy it but first they have to sell their current property. Sounds good right? but what if their property takes forever to sell? What if someone else comes along while you're waiting and they want to buy your property now … Read More Read More

The White House says the public will have to look at each individual agency to find out their plans for what would happen in a government shutdown. The Office of Management and Budget's webpage which normally publishes shutdown contingency plans remained empty for months. But now, OMB says that agencies' plans will only be available one by one, on each agency's own website. Those contingency plans cover how many federal employees would continue working — with or without pay — during a possible shutdown.

Contingency Management for Stimulant Use Disorder and Association With Mortality: A Cohort Study American Journal of Psychiatry This national retrospective cohort study found that veterans with stimulant use disorder who received contingency management (CM) were 41% less likely to die in the year following treatment initiation relative to matched comparison subjects. These findings provide the strongest real-world evidence to date that CM is associated with reduced all-cause mortality, underscoring its potential as a life-saving intervention in routine care. Results support expanding access to CM across healthcare systems and public health settings.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

During Ep. 28 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Tim McKey, CPA, CEO of Vista Consulting Team, joins to address 3 Tips for Strategic Planning to Sell a Plaintiff Contingency Law Firm   McKey initially explains that Vista Consulting Team provides strategic consulting to Plaintiff contingency law firms, assisting clients with systemizing their businesses per Vista's tagline: The business resource for Plaintiff law firms.   McKey then shares the following 3 tips for strategic planning to sell a Plaintiff contingency law firm:   Tip No. 1: As McKey says, “The best thing you can do to prepare your firm to be sellable is to be profitable.”   Underlying that tip relates to law firms knowing their numbers.   Examples of numbers to know include: (a) Gross revenues vs. Net Revenues; (b) The EBITDA for your firm; (c) Average fee per case; (d) Case acquisition costs; (e) Number of open cases, together with estimated values of those cases; and (f) Average time on desk to resolve cases, including differentiating between pre-lit. and litigation matters.   Tip No. 2: Know the value of your firm per 1 or more recognized methodologies of valuation.   Tip No. 3: Have efficient, effective, and documented operations within your firm, including (a) A methodology for internal reports that hold teams at a firm accountable; and (b) A means to make sure that a firm does not need its founder/rainmaker for the firm to operate.   McKey and Poock also discuss their thoughts about what buyers want/need when purchasing Plaintiff contingency practices, including strategic purchasers who seek to purchase more than one law firm, usually, in anticipation of a future roll-up type transaction.

"The sooner they know, the better they can deal with it, and if they're hearing from me that it's not gonna happen. That has a totally different feel than if we wait until they figure out on their own that it's not gonna happen and then are coming back to me for it."Karen & Paul discuss the importance of timely communication when project deadlines change. They emphasize why it's crucial to inform stakeholders as soon as it's clear the original timeline won't be met. The conversation explores common reasons people avoid delivering bad news, such as fear of disappointment or repercussions.

Join host Cody Rich and co-host Jaden for a high-energy kickoff to the 2025 elk season, recorded just before the archery opener. Fresh off Alaska hunts, we dive into the frenzy of antelope, cow moose, and elk plans, sharing stories of opening-day rut fests and painful misses. We unpack the 101 vs. 201 elk hunter mindset, exploring how to break free from “Average Joe” habits by mastering skills like finding elk, predicting movement, and adapting to pressure, fires, or weather. With a teaser for our upcoming 301-level elk hunt, this episode is loaded with practical tips, from night calling in tough units to building a versatile skill set. Get ready to level up your elk game and make this season one to remember! Timestamp Chapters 00:00 - Intro and Season Hype: Cody and Jayden kick things off, stoked for the 2025 elk season, fresh from Alaska hunts and juggling antelope and moose tags. 02:30 - Sponsors: Stone Glacier and Tricer Tripods: Shoutouts to Stone Glacier's lightweight Archer 6400 pack and Tricer's innovative LP panhead tripod setup. 04:45 - Opening Weekend Chaos: Discussing the gong show of opening days, why Jayden's skipping antelope opener, and avoiding the “Average Joe” quitter mindset. 08:15 - Cow Moose Hunt Plans: Cody shares his cow moose tag strategy, targeting areas with bull moose hunters for intel and navigating calf restrictions. 12:00 - 101 vs. 201 Elk Hunters: Breaking down the difference between stumbling 101 hunters and consistent 201 killers, focusing on thinking outside the box. 18:30 - Avoiding Average Joe Moves: How “Average Joe” hunters fail by following crowds, and why seeking unpressured pockets is key to consistent success. 24:00 - Calling in Tough Units: Strategies for silent, call-shy elk, like night calling and soft cow-calf sequences, to outsmart pressured herds. 29:45 - Wallows: Worth It or Not?: Debating the effectiveness of sitting wallows, why mornings might beat evenings, and pairing them with glassing for better odds. 36:00 - Diesel vs. Boot Leather: Why driving to find elk can trump hiking, balancing romanticism with practical scouting in high-pressure units. 42:15 - Limited Entry vs. OTC Mindset: Treating premium tags like high-pressure hunts to avoid complacency and maximize success, even with fewer hunters. 48:30 - Contingencies for Fires and Chaos: Cody's approach to wildfires, road closures, and unexpected setbacks, emphasizing multiple hunt plans and flexibility. 55:00 - Gear: Confidence Over Hype: How dialed gear boosts confidence, but 301 hunters prioritize skills over chasing the latest trends. 1:00:45 - Mastering Elk Hunting Skills: Cody reflects on learning to predict elk behavior, read herds, and stay calm under pressure to level up from 101 to 201. 1:08:00 - Picking a Skill to Master: Cody's assignment for hunters—pick one skill (e.g., stalking, calling) and build hunts around mastering it for a memorable season. 1:13:15 - Wrap-Up and Hunt Teaser: Cody and Jayden hype their upcoming 301-level elk hunt, promising a recap of their timber-stalking adventure.

Three Key Takeaways Ditch the Average Joe Mindset: To move from a 101 to a 201 hunter, avoid crowd-following habits like quitting after a busy opening weekend. Seek unpressured pockets by thinking differently—focus on areas others overlook, like low-quality habitat or remote corners, to find elk consistently. Master One Skill at a Time: Pick a specific skill (e.g., calling, stalking, or reading elk behavior) and build your hunt around mastering it. Focused practice, like night calling for silent elk or predicting movement, accelerates improvement over scattered efforts. Stay Flexible with Contingency Plans: Elk hunting is unpredictable—fires, weather, or pressure can derail plans. Always have multiple hunt plans across different ranges or low-country backups to adapt quickly and keep your season alive.

On this episode of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we're tackling one of the trickiest parts of real estate transactions: contingency offers. Whether you're buying or selling, these offers can completely change the dynamics of your deal — and knowing how to handle them could save you thousands. We'll break down what a contingency offer really is, why buyers use them, and why sellers sometimes accept them. From home sale contingencies to financing and appraisal clauses, I'll explain how these conditions work and what they mean for your timeline, your money, and your stress levels. You'll hear the advantages for buyers, like reducing the risk of carrying two mortgages or moving twice. But we'll also talk about the pitfalls: weaker offers in competitive markets, the dreaded “kick-out clause,” and how quickly things can fall apart if your home doesn't sell. For sellers, contingent offers can sometimes mean a higher price or highly motivated buyers — but they also come with risks like longer timelines and the uncertainty of chained deals. Most importantly, I'll share strategies to protect yourself. For buyers, that means pricing your home right, preparing it for market, and asking for realistic timelines. For sellers, it could mean requiring proof the buyer's home is listed, keeping your property on the market, and negotiating shorter contingency periods. At the end of the day, contingency offers aren't good or bad in themselves — they're tools. And like any tool, the key is knowing how to use them to your advantage. Stay tuned, because in our next segment, I'll uncover the contract clauses that may sound harmless but could cost you thousands if you're not paying attention.

Monday, 4 August 2025   that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: Matthew  12:17   “That it should be fulfilled, the ‘having been spoken' through Isaiah the prophet, saying,” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus was noted as admonishing the crowds not to make Him apparent. Next, Mathew says, “That it should be fulfilled.”   As has been seen several times already, Jesus is the Subject of prophecy. Things were declared concerning Him, His coming, His work, and the effects of His work toward those He was sent to deliver.   Matthew returns to Scripture to provide more insights into the proclamation of the prophets, saying, “the ‘having been spoken' through Isaiah the prophet, saying.”   As seen above, the last verse from Matthew noted Jesus not wanting to be made openly manifest at the time. Thus, we can conclude that something Matthew will draw from Isaiah will point to that.   Life application: Radio personality Joe Rogan made the news concerning his new idea concerning God. The article said, “he feared God ‘is actually created by human beings creating this infinitely intelligent thing that can essentially harness all of the available energy and power of the universe and create anything it wants.'”   The article also cited him, saying, “This whole idea of Jesus coming back, well maybe it's real. Maybe we just completely misinterpreted these ancient scrolls and texts and what it really means is that we are going to give birth to this.”   Citing another author, the article said, “Yampolskiy, an author and researcher in AI safety, added to Rogan's theory, suggesting that reality is just an ongoing cycle of Big Bangs - the explosion that kickstarted the universe - starting and restarting life over and over again.”   It's a problem when people don't take the time to think logically. These men are discussing infinites as being created by finites. Further, where is the Creator if something created does the creating? These are problems of logic that should be contemplated from time to time.   What is known as the First Principles will help a person to think logically about God. In understanding these First Principles, we can weed out errors in our thinking. In doing so, we can more fully appreciate the prophecies recorded in the Old Testament as they point to Jesus.   Was there a Creator? Could He tell the future? If so, what does this say about the coming of the Messiah and what He would do? Think about such questions as you study the word. As for the First Principles, a quick review of them is in order –   ‎1. Being Is (B is) = The Principle of Existence To say “There is no being” is self-refuting. One must exist in order to make the claim.   Being Is Being (B is B) = The Principle of Identity To say “Being isn't being” is self-refuting. One must be a being in order to make a claim about not being a being.   Being Is Not Nonbeing (B is Not Non-B) = The Principle of Noncontradiction If being exists (see Principle #1), then it cannot be non-being. The principle is self-evident and undeniable.   Either Being or Nonbeing (Either B or Non-B) = The Principle of the Excluded Middle If I exist (asking the question means I do), then I am being. If I am being, then I am not non-being. The principle is self-evident and undeniable; there is no wiggle room.   Nonbeing Cannot Cause Being (Non-B>B) = The Principle of Causality Something cannot come from nothing (and we cannot have an infinite regress in matter (or being) – see Einstein and Relativity). The principle is undeniable.   Contingent Being Cannot Cause Contingent Being (Bc>Bc) = The Principle of Contingency (or Dependency) This would lead to an infinite regress of causes, which is disproved by Relativity – Time, Space, and Matter came into existence simultaneously and are dependent upon each other. The principle is undeniable.   Only Necessary Being Can Cause a Contingent Being (Bn --->Bc) = The Positive Principle of Modality A being that cannot Not exist must, therefore, exist if contingent beings exist. The principle is reducible to the undeniable.   Necessary Being Cannot Cause A Necessary Being (Bn>Bn) = The Negative Principle of Modality The principle is undeniable. Only one Necessary Being can exist. Any being which exists apart from a Necessary Being is contingent and could Not exist. It is self-evident.   Every Contingent Being Is Caused by a Necessary Being (Bn--->Bc) = The Principle of Existential Causality The fact that there are contingent beings (I think, therefore I am, but I am not necessary) necessitates a Necessary Being. We exist. Therefore, a Being that cannot Not exist must exist. The principle is undeniable in and of itself.   Necessary Being Exists (Bn Exists) = Principle of Existential Necessity Contingent beings exist (see next principle); therefore, a Necessary Being must exist. The principle is reducible to the undeniable.   Contingent Being Exists (Bc Exists) = Principle of Existential Contingency The principle is undeniable. To say “I (a contingent being) don't exist” is self-refuting. I do exist (Principle 1), which is self-evident.   Necessary Being Is Similar to Contingent Being(s) It Causes (Bn ---similar --->Bc) = Principle of Analogy Nothing can exist that doesn't reflect the nature of the Necessary Being. To state something doesn't is self-refuting. The principle is undeniable.   Understanding the nature of God, reality, logic, etc., is indispensable in understanding why one religion is false and another may be true. Weeding out what is false through logic leaves us with one possibility concerning God. It is the God presented in Scripture who matches what is logically necessary.   It is our duty to read Scripture and see if what is presented there is an acceptable revelation of God. As fulfilled prophecy shows that the Bible is reliable, we can trust that the message of the Bible is from God, who knows the beginning from the end.   Lord God, help us to think clearly and logically as we approach theology. May our understanding of who You are and what You have done from the Bible give us reassurance for all of our days that what You have promised will, in fact, come to pass. Thank You for Your word, this wonderful word that reveals You. Amen.

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:44] “[P]ragmatic diplomacy centered on national interests”[05:06] State of Play for Sino-South Korean Relations[09:56] Balancing Between the United States and China[14:47] China Taking Advantage of US-ROK Frictions [19:03] Economic Interdependence as a Leverage[25:39] Xi Jinping Attending APEC South Korea 2025[31:11] American Pressure on Allies to Protect Taiwan

Contingency measures drawn up by concerned Taupo Hospital clinicians show plans to move patients to Rotorua Hospital if staff shortages forced Taupo's clinic to close.

We're taking you along on a whirlwind couple of days at Walt Disney World—complete with friends, food, drinks, and a few unexpected twists (including a surprise snake sighting near the Skyliner… yep, that happened).We kicked things off with snacks and sips at Bar Riva to see some Cast Member friends alongside our good friends Lucie and Caleb, and the fun just kept rolling from there. We did a little shopping in Pandora (yes, we bought rings), used an Individual Lightning Lane for Cosmic Rewind, and bounced around resorts chasing dinner plans from California Grill to Steakhouse 71 to Three Bridges—where we finally found our perfect Plan C, great food, and some awesome cast member interactions.We also squeezed in some magic at Magic Kingdom to ride Haunted Mansion, placed a special hat embroidery order, and spent a rainy afternoon at Disney Springs catching up, indulging in Salt & Straw, and hiding out at Jock Lindsey's. The trip wrapped up with poolside snacks at Siestas, an evening at Dahlia Lounge, and a final stop at Jeff's Bagels on the way home—because you know we weren't leaving without breakfast handled.It was a trip full of laughs, detours, and Disney magic, and we can't wait to share it with you.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

In "Step 88: Rorty's Solidarity," the concluding episode of our three-part series on Richard Rorty's Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (1989), host Ryder Richards explores Part III, Chapters 7–9, where Rorty tackles cruelty and solidarity. Rorty argues that solidarity isn't a universal human essence but a contingent creation, forged through imaginative identification with others' pain via narratives like novels. We delve into vivid examples: Nabokov's Lolita and its “tingles” of aesthetic bliss, which reveal cruelty through inattention and inspire moral empathy; Orwell's 1984, where O'Brien's intelligent cruelty underscores the fragility of liberal hope; and Sellars' “we-intentions,” showing how solidarity expands “us” through shared stories, not abstract truths.Rorty's appeal lies in his witty, pragmatic blend of literary insight and moral hope, empowering us to craft kinder worlds without metaphysical crutches. Yet, Ryder remains skeptical, critiquing how Rorty's vision has materialized but been subverted in 2025. While his liberal ironist thrives in self-creation and anti-cruelty movements, mimetic identities—adopting others' vocabularies for social gain—and weaponized solidarity, where anti-cruelty fuels division, distort his utopia. This episode traces Rorty's narrative-driven philosophy from language and selfhood to community, urging listeners to question vocabularies while imagining a broader “we.” Join us for a compelling finale to this philosophical journey, available on LetUsThinkAboutIt. 0:00 Intro 2:23 Noticing Cruelty through Narrative: Nabokov 7:18 Fragility of Liberal Hope: Orwell 11:50 Creating Solidarity: Sellars 15:48 Rorty's Legacy: subversion and capture 20:28 Outro

In Step 87 of LetUsThinkAboutIt, host Ryder Richards dives into Part II of Richard Rorty's Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (1989), exploring the clash between ironists and metaphysicians. Fresh off recording Step 86, Ryder unpacks Rorty's seductive vision of the liberal ironist—a figure who privately doubts their beliefs while publicly fighting cruelty, as defined by Judith Shklar's maxim, “cruelty is the worst thing we do.” Rorty argues language, self, and community are contingent, not grounded in eternal truths, and pits ironists, who redescribe reality with new vocabularies, against metaphysicians, like Plato and Kant, who chase a “final vocabulary” to capture reality's essence. With direct quotes, Ryder showcases Rorty's witty jabs at philosophy's old guard, exposing their logical traps, like Kant's obsession with universal reason. From Proust's self-creation to Derrida's playful deconstruction, Rorty celebrates private irony but insists it stay separate from public hope. Ryder pushes back, questioning whether Rorty's neat private-public split undermines moral conviction and if his narrative-driven solidarity is too fragile against competing stories. Packed with insights and skepticism, this episode sets the stage for Part III's dive into cruelty and solidarity. Join Ryder to tinker with your mental toolbox and question your own vocabulary!

Dr. Casey Grover explores the history, neuroscience, and treatment approaches for methamphetamine use disorder, highlighting how methamphetamine releases more dopamine than any other known substance.• Methamphetamine was widely used during World War II by German, Japanese, and Allied forces to enhance performance• Modern meth production shifted from ephedra to P2P method, creating cheaper, more potent meth with worse psychiatric effects• Meth causes dopamine release up to 1,400 ng/dL of dopamine compared to cocaine (400), sex (200), and food (150), severely damaging reward centers• Many methamphetamine users have undiagnosed ADHD and are inadvertently self-medicating• Effective medications include bupropion, topiramate, atomoxetine, viloxazine, guanfacine, and mirtazapine• Contingency management (reward-based incentives) shows significant efficacy for methamphetamine addiction treatment• Combination therapies using bupropion with naltrexone show promise for reducing meth use• Treating underlying mental health conditions and providing housing/social support remains essential for recoveryTo contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

In the first of a three-part series on Richard Rorty's Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (1989), Let Us Think About It delves into the concept of contingency. Host Ryder Richards guides listeners through Rorty's radical argument that language, selfhood, and liberal communities are not grounded in universal truths but are crafted through historical chance, like tools in a dynamic toolkit. Drawing on Chapter 1, Ryder explores how language, far from mirroring reality, builds truths through evolving vocabularies, with examples like the French Revolution and Donald Davidson's “passing theories.” Chapter 2 reveals the self as a contingent construction, sculpted through redescriptions, as seen in Freud and Proust. Chapter 3 examines liberal societies as experimental creations, sustained by imaginative solidarity rather than fixed foundations, referencing Isaiah Berlin and Judith Shklar. While admiring Rorty's vivid metaphors and provocative ideas, Ryder critiques his potentially reductive view, questioning whether freedom alone can ensure moral progress. Packed with direct quotes and punchy insights, this episode sets the stage for upcoming discussions on irony and solidarity. Tune in to rethink how we create our world with the tools of language!

Health care executive Traci Sweet discusses her article, "The role of contingency management in addiction treatment." She makes a compelling case for the increased use of contingency management—an evidence-based approach utilizing positive reinforcement—to improve outcomes for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD). Traci explains how this method, which rewards positive behaviors like treatment engagement, can effectively leverage the brain's reward system and is particularly beneficial given the high relapse rates associated with traditional treatments. The conversation explores practical applications of contingency management, including app-based digital incentive programs, and highlights its success in her own practice. Traci also outlines a broader vision for the future of SUD care, emphasizing the need to embrace innovation, technology such as AI and digital therapeutics, emerging pharmacological treatments like GLP-1 agonists and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and holistic interventions to create more personalized and effective recovery pathways. The key takeaway is: To address the ongoing addiction crisis, the health care system must move beyond one-size-fits-all models and actively integrate innovative, evidence-based strategies like contingency management alongside cutting-edge technologies and a wider range of therapeutic options.
