Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength. View more podcast episodes at the podcast homepage. (https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 5:36 – Exploring Yoga, Biomechanics, and Training Through Injury 10:43 – Discovering Movement Connections Through Slow Practice 23:26 – Parkour Training as a Unique Learning Process 31:41 – Balancing Intensity, Recovery, and Longevity in Training 42:08 – The Value of Gentleness in Building Strength 53:30 – Using Constraints to Improve Movement Awareness 59:08 – Applying Martial Intent and Precision in Movement 1:01:31 – Rope Flow as a Tool for Coordination and Rhythm 1:11:17 – Integrating Jump Rope and Rope Flow into Athletic Training Actionable takeaways 5:36 – Exploring Yoga, Biomechanics, and Training Through Injury Key Idea: Tim explains how yoga and biomechanics gave him tools to keep moving through injuries and to rebuild awareness of how his body works. Actionable Takeaways: Use yoga or mindful movement practices as low-intensity ways to stay connected when injured. Pay attention to biomechanics during rehab—it's not just about healing tissue, but about moving better long-term. Reframe injuries as opportunities to explore different forms of movement. 10:43 – Discovering Movement Connections Through Slow Practice Key Idea: Slowing things down can reveal hidden connections between muscles, joints, and fascia. Tim found value in practicing movement slowly before adding intensity. Actionable Takeaways: Strip movements down and slow them until you can feel the sequence. Use slow practice as a diagnostic tool to notice leaks, compensations, or missing links. Build control first, then layer on speed and power. 23:26 – Parkour Training as a Unique Learning Process Key Idea: Parkour introduced Tim to exploration, problem-solving, and adapting movement to different environments. Actionable Takeaways: Use obstacle-based tasks to force creative movement solutions. Train adaptability—don't just repeat drills, but give athletes problems to solve. Embrace exploration: movement learned through play tends to stick. 31:41 – Balancing Intensity, Recovery, and Longevity in Training Key Idea: Tim highlights that chasing intensity every session can shorten careers—longevity requires balance. Actionable Takeaways: Periodize intensity with recovery—don't redline every workout. Prioritize sustainability: ask “Can I do this 10 years from now?” Recovery practices are as important as the training itself. 42:08 – The Value of Gentleness in Building Strength Key Idea: Strength doesn't always come from force—sometimes it's built by gentleness, precision, and subtlety. Actionable Takeaways: Explore lighter, more mindful work instead of always going maximal. Recognize that gentleness can rewire coordination in ways brute strength cannot. Use precise, controlled practice as a pathway to more efficient power later.

Lunges are a cornerstone of healthy aging - building lower-body strength, improving balance, and supporting joint health.  This episode is the third in our twenty-part series, Move for Life, exploring the intersection of longevity, strength training and movement. Miami-based fitness coaches Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins contrast front, back, and side lunges, explaining how each targets different muscle groups and mimics gait to enhance functional movement.Shebah underscores posture, pelvic floor engagement, and proprioception as critical factors in reducing chronic pain and preventing falls, while Nate connects lunge training to real-world demands, from pickleball to travel, arguing that balance and foot placement are non-negotiable for injury prevention. We also discuss how integrating short, accessible sessions into everyday life - at home, in gyms, or even at airports - support longevity.You should seek medical advice before embarking on a new exercise.This episode is the second in our 20-part series, Move for Life, exploring the intersection of longevity, strength training and movement. -----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Auckland Transport has spent more than $63 million dollars on traffic management and road cones in the past year. Mayor Wayne Brown is criticising the figure - saying it equates to about 3 percent rates rises across the city. But AT says it isn't too much considering its over $1.2-billion infrastructure programme. Road Corridor Access and Coordination Group Manager Tracey Berkahn says new Government guidance may lower costs. "Now there's a lot more thought put into a principles-based approach to it. And so, necessarily, you'll have fewer devices out there." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La démocratie sénégalaise pourrait-elle perdre l'un de ses piliers, sa presse, libre, qui est pourtant une référence dans toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest ? Les nouvelles préoccupantes sur la santé économique des médias sénégalais se multiplient. Dernière en date : un plan de restructuration dans le groupe Futurs médias de Youssou N'Dour, annoncé par la direction, à la suite de graves difficultés financières. D'où vient cette situation de fragilité ? Que faire ? Ibrahima Lissa Faye est responsable de la Coordination des associations de presse du Sénégal. Il est l'invité de Laurent Correau. RFI : Est-ce qu'il faut s'inquiéter de l'état du quatrième pouvoir, de l'état de la presse, au Sénégal, aujourd'hui ? Ibrahima Lissa Faye : Il y a de quoi s'inquiéter parce qu'il y a des menaces réelles sur la survie de la presse au Sénégal. Depuis plus de 17 mois, les entreprises de presse ont une trésorerie déficitaire parce qu'il y a eu un ensemble de mesures inappropriées prises par l'État qui fragilise la survie des entreprises de presse et qui les met dans une situation extrêmement compliquée. Et aujourd'hui, toutes les entreprises de presse privées vivent avec des arriérés de salaires, des arriérés de location et du matériel vétuste qui n'a pas pu suivre une maintenance correcte. Donc, il y a des risques d'extinction de certains médias. Un journal sénégalais titrait récemment « GFM, Walf et Sud, les géants de la presse sénégalaise s'effondrent ». Est-ce que ça va jusque-là ? Est-ce que vous diriez qu'effectivement ces trois groupes, qui sont des piliers de la démocratie sénégalaise autant que des éléments de son patrimoine intellectuel, sont menacés ? Ils sont bien menacés, que ce soit Sud, Wal Fadjri et GFM, les fleurons médiatiques du Sénégal sont menacés. Parce que si vous prenez par exemple Sud, les employés étaient sur le point d'aller en grève. Et si c'était le cas, c'est clair que le titre allait disparaître. Pour ce qui est de GFM, la direction a annoncé une mesure sociale pendant un licenciement technique de beaucoup de travailleurs, et le syndicat refuse et a sorti un communiqué pour dénoncer cela. Pour Wal Fadjri, ils sont dans les mêmes difficultés que tout le monde. Donc, pour vous dire que la situation est quasi pareille dans toute la presse privée.   Qu'est-ce qui provoque ces difficultés financières des médias ? En réalité, c'est à cause du gel des contrats publicitaires venant des entreprises publiques et parapubliques, mais également aussi le blocage depuis 2024 du Fonds d'appui et de développement de la presse, le FADP, mais également aussi la situation économique extrêmement tendue du pays qui fait que, en fait, le privé, sa marge publicitaire, c'est juste autour de 15%/20 %. Et donc, avec 15%/20 %, on ne peut même pas gérer les charges courantes. Qu'est-ce qui peut être fait pour essayer de renverser cette situation ? Moi, je pense qu'en fait, le pouvoir et les acteurs des médias doivent discuter. Mais surtout que le ministre descende de son piédestal pour parler avec les acteurs des véritables problèmes et qu'au plus haut niveau qu'il y ait une volonté aussi de trouver des solutions. Les acteurs proposent, mais au niveau de l'État, on n'a pas de répondant. Nous sommes face à un mur qui est là et qui, malheureusement, ne nous offre aucune opportunité. Il y a tout de même des mesures positives qui ont été prises par les nouveaux pouvoirs publics : l'enregistrement des médias sur une plateforme pour plus de transparence ou l'actualisation de la loi sur la publicité. Oui, ça, ce sont des mesures importantes. Il faut les saluer. Nous ne sommes pas d'accord sur la démarche. Il aurait pu quand même le faire avec les acteurs. Les médias sénégalais sont considérés comme des références pour l'ensemble de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Comment est-ce que vous voyez les conséquences de ce risque d'effondrement de la presse privée sénégalaise pour la démocratie dans la région, de manière plus générale ? Ce que j'ai l'habitude de dire, c'est que si aujourd'hui on néglige les médias sénégalais jusqu'à ce que les fleurons mettent la clé sous le paillasson, il y a des forces obscures – nous sommes dans une région très menacée, avec une insécurité qui est là – qui pourraient en tout cas s'accaparer nos médias ou venir avec une autre offre qui peut ne pas nous arranger. Nous nous battons pour que ces fleurons de la presse sénégalaise demeurent, pour que, en fait, l'identité de la presse sénégalaise continue et perdure. On n'est pas là pour un pouvoir ou pour des lobbys. La presse est là pour l'information, elle est là pour les populations. Et donc, c'est important que cette presse-là garde cette indépendance pour qu'elle puisse servir tout le monde.

Don't miss it — we won't!   Matt Cooper is the Founder of SPRK Lighting. With a background in music, theater, and AV integration, Matt brings a unique blend of creative and technical expertise to the attractions industry. After realizing that many of his theater colleagues had moved into theme parks, he joined the industry himself and soon found that lighting design in attractions offered a dynamic canvas for storytelling. SPRK Lighting, founded in 2018, focuses on immersive and intentional lighting design for location-based entertainment venues. In this interview, Matt talks about a novel approach to lighting, theater realism, and budget vs. coordination. Novel Approach to Lighting “It was a novel approach to lighting design, specifically for attraction spaces… It was fun, it was creative, it celebrated the collaboration of a team.” Matt's entrepreneurial mindset led to the founding of SPRK Lighting with the goal of breaking the mold of the stereotypical grumpy lighting designer. Drawing from his AV integration background, he embraced the design-build model—less common in attractions—which allowed for a more seamless creative process from concept through installation. Matt believes lighting should be accessible, collaborative, and joyful, and that this approach is not only artistically fulfilling but also more cost-effective for regional attractions. By tightly integrating design and execution, SPRK eliminates the common friction between designers and integrators, maximizing value for operators, especially those with lean budgets. Theater Realism “We attempted to bring a kind of theater realism, which isn't real reality, but it's our interpretation of reality.” Using a Shanghai project as an example, Matt explained how traditional exhibit-style lighting gave way to more dramatic, theatrical techniques that brought static environments to life. Applying knowledge from live theater—such as manipulating texture, day-to-night transitions, and environmental dynamics—he and his team created lighting effects that made miniature cities appear to breathe. This philosophy elevates lighting beyond utility into a powerful storytelling tool. Whether enhancing drama in a haunted house or invoking wonder in a children's attraction, Matt emphasizes that lighting can serve as a primary medium for delivering emotional impact—when it's treated as part of the narrative, not just a technical necessity. Budget vs. Coordination “It isn't always a budgetary issue. It's often a coordination issue.” Matt argues that many lighting limitations attributed to budget are actually rooted in a lack of early collaboration. He stresses that meaningful creative integration requires upfront alignment between designers, fabricators, and operators. Too often, infrastructure like power and data is overlooked until late in a project, resulting in compromises that diminish guest impact. Instead, Matt advocates for early conversations that prioritize guest experience, ensure infrastructure supports design goals, and allow the team to find cost-effective yet compelling solutions. As he says, a great guest experience doesn't come from the most expensive lights—it comes from lights used with purpose, collaboration, and care.   To learn more about SPRK Lighting, visit www.sprklighting.com or connect with Matt on LinkedIn.

What if the most essential conversations about intimacy coordination aren't happening in rehearsal rooms - but in producer offices and casting sessions? In this episode, Joshua sits down with intimacy coordinator and movement expert Alexis Black to tear apart every assumption about staged intimacy work. From the reality that most productions treat intimacy coordination like a luxury add-on to the uncomfortable truth that actors often discover their boundaries mid-rehearsal, this conversation exposes the gap between best practices and industry reality.This isn't your typical "intimacy work is important" discussion. Joshua and Alexis dive deep into the messy contradictions of creative collaboration - why some actors with certification still can't handle complex work, how directors use intimacy protocols as scapegoats for larger production problems, and why the field's obsession with safety might be accidentally creating robotic performances. Through personal stories of productions gone sideways and hard-earned insights about sustainable creativity, they explore what it really takes to choreograph consent without killing artistic risk.Join our Patreon for ad-free early access to episodes, exclusive discounts, weekly Q&As, and so much more.

Whether you're a parent planning a birthday, a community organizer, or a fellow entrepreneur, Kori's journey and insights offer a treasure trove of actionable advice and inspiration. Let's dive deep into the main themes and expert tips from our conversation, so you can bring a little more joy—and a lot more bubbles—into your own corner of the world. Table of Contents The Spark: Turning a Fun Idea into a Thriving Business What Makes Foam Parties So Popular? Behind the Scenes: How Bubble Bash Operates Safety First: Creating a Fun and Secure Environment Building Community: The Power of Local Networks Expanding the Fun: Beyond Kids' Parties Lessons in Entrepreneurship: Balancing Family, Passion, and Business Actionable Tips for Hosting a Memorable Foam or Bubble Party The Heart of Grayslake: Kindness, Connection, and Community How to Book Your Own Bubble Bash Experience 1. The Spark: Turning a Fun Idea into a Thriving Business Kori Pelikan's story is a classic example of how a simple, personal need can ignite a business idea. When planning her daughter's birthday, Kori wanted something unique. She discovered foam machines, bought one, and the party was such a hit that neighbors and friends immediately asked, “Can you do this for us?” Key Takeaways: Start with a personal need:** The best business ideas often come from solving your own problems. Test the waters:** Kori's first event was a low-risk trial that validated the concept. Listen to your audience:** Immediate positive feedback from guests signaled a real demand. Expert Advice:   If you're considering starting a business, look for opportunities in your own life. What do you wish existed? What gets people talking and asking for more? 2. What Makes Foam Parties So Popular? Foam parties aren't just a passing trend—they're a sensory, social, and safe way for kids (and adults!) to let loose. Kori notes that the laughter and joy are infectious, and the novelty never seems to wear off. Why Foam Parties Work: Universal appeal:** Kids of all ages love the tactile, immersive experience. Repeat business:** Many families and organizations book Bubble Bash year after year. Social media gold:** The visual spectacle makes for shareable, memorable photos. Pro Tip:   Capture candid moments and share them with your guests. Kori sends photos to families after events, creating lasting memories and organic marketing. 3. Behind the Scenes: How Bubble Bash Operates Running a foam party business is more than just turning on a machine. Kori's approach is professional, efficient, and community-focused. Logistics and Equipment Foam Cannons:** Kori owns two, allowing her to serve multiple events or larger crowds. Setup Needs:** Access to water and electricity is essential. Coordination with venues is key. Duration:** Most parties last about an hour—enough for high-energy fun, then a smooth transition to food or rest. Weather:** Rain doesn't stop the party; kids are already getting wet! Environmental and Safety Considerations Hypoallergenic Foam:** Safe for kids, pets, and lawns. Grass Care:** Kori rotates the foam area to prevent lawn damage. Clean-Up:** The foam dissipates naturally, leaving no mess behind. Actionable Advice: Always do a site check before the event to ensure access to utilities. Communicate clearly with hosts about what's needed for setup and teardown. Invest in quality, safe foam solutions from reputable suppliers. 4. Safety First: Creating a Fun and Secure Environment Safety is at the heart of every Bubble Bash event. Kori's background as a teacher shines through in her clear, consistent rules and her ability to manage groups of excited kids. Core Safety Rules No running or sliding:** Prevents slips and falls. No diving or cannonballing:** The foam isn't deep—remind kids it's not a pool! No sitting under the foam:** Ensures visibility and prevents accidental bumps. Implementation Rules Stand:** Kori sets up a visible sign at public events. Active Supervision:** She keeps a close eye on the crowd and gently reminds kids as needed. Inclusive Fun:** Even grandparents have joined in—one memorable guest navigated the foam with her walker! Expert Insight:   Safety doesn't have to kill the fun. Set expectations early, use positive language, and model the behavior you want to see. 5. Building Community: The Power of Local Networks Bubble Bash's success is rooted in community connections. Kori leverages local mom groups, Facebook communities, and word-of-mouth to grow her business. Strategies for Community Engagement Join local groups:** Participate in online forums and neighborhood networks. Collaborate, don't compete:** Kori often refers clients to other foam party businesses when she's booked, fostering goodwill. Support local events:** Bubble Bash is a fixture at Grayslake's Battle of the Bands, summer kickoffs, and more. Pro Tip:   Don't underestimate the power of grassroots marketing. Authentic relationships and community involvement build trust and loyalty. 6. Expanding the Fun: Beyond Kids' Parties While Bubble Bash is best known for children's events, Kori is open to new markets. Adult and Teen Events Glow-in-the-dark foam:** Black lights and colored foam create a nightclub vibe. College and community events:** There's untapped potential for older audiences. Rebranding:** Kori is considering a separate identity to appeal to non-kid markets. Actionable Advice: Survey your audience to gauge interest in new offerings. Experiment with themed events (e.g., “Foam Olympics” fundraisers). Adjust your branding and messaging to match the target demographic. 7. Lessons in Entrepreneurship: Balancing Family, Passion, and Business Kori's journey is a testament to the power of reinvention. After 20 years as a teacher, she pivoted to entrepreneurship during the pandemic, seeking flexibility and joy. Key Lessons Follow your happiness:** Don't let fear of judgment hold you back. Seasonal balance:** Bubble Bash is full-time from May to October, allowing Kori to “hibernate” and recharge in the off-season. Family first:** Kori proudly identifies as a mom above all, structuring her business around her children's needs. Expert Insight:   Entrepreneurship is about designing a life that fits your values. Don't be afraid to pivot, and keep your options open for future opportunities. 8. Actionable Tips for Hosting a Memorable Foam or Bubble Party Ready to bring the Bubble Bash experience to your next event? Here's how to make it unforgettable: Planning and Preparation Book early:** Summer weekends fill up fast. Choose the right location:** Flat, grassy areas work best; ensure access to water and power. Communicate with your host:** Share setup needs and safety rules in advance. During the Event Set clear rules:** Post them visibly and review with guests. Capture the moment:** Take candid photos and share them with families. Rotate the foam area:** Protect your lawn and keep the fun moving. After the Party Share your experience:** Post photos on social media and tag Bubble Bash. Give feedback:** Let Kori know what worked and what could be improved. Spread the word:** Word-of-mouth is the best marketing! 9. The Heart of Grayslake: Kindness, Connection, and Community At the end of our conversation, I shared a reminder that resonates with the spirit of Grayslake: you never know what someone else is going through. A simple act of kindness—a smile, a compliment, holding the door—can make all the difference. Let's keep Grayslake a place where: Neighbors support neighbors. Local businesses lift each other up. Every child (and adult!) gets a chance to play, laugh, and belong. 10. How to Book Your Own Bubble Bash Experience Ready to add some bubbly fun to your next event?

Since January I've applied to ~25 EA-aligned roles. Every listing attracted hundreds of candidates (one passed 1,200). It seems we already have a very deep bench of motivated, values-aligned people, yet orgs still run long, resource-heavy hiring rounds. That raises three things: Cost-effectiveness: Are months-long searches and bespoke work-tests still worth the staff time and applicant burnout when shortlist-first approaches might fill 80% of roles faster with decent candidates? Sure, there can be differences in talent, but the question ought to be... how tangible is this difference and does it justify the cost of hiring? Coordination: Why aren't orgs leaning harder on shared talent pools (e.g. HIP's database) to bypass public rounds? HIP is currently running an open search. Messaging: From the outside, repeated calls to 'consider an impactful EA career' could start to look pyramid-schemey if the movement can't absorb the talent [...] --- First published: July 14th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/ufjgCrtxhrEwxkdCH/is-ea-still-talent-constrained --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

This Day in Legal History: Richard and Mildred Loving ArrestedOn this day in legal history, July 11, 1958, Richard and Mildred Loving were arrested in Central Point, Virginia, for violating the state's Racial Integrity Act, which banned interracial marriage. The couple had legally wed in Washington, D.C., but upon returning to Virginia, they were charged with "cohabiting as man and wife, against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth." Richard, a white man, and Mildred, a Black and Indigenous woman, pled guilty and were sentenced to one year in prison, suspended on the condition that they leave the state for 25 years.The Lovings relocated to Washington, D.C., but their desire to return home ultimately led to a pivotal civil rights case. In 1963, they wrote to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who referred them to the ACLU. Attorneys Bernard Cohen and Philip Hirschkop took up their case, arguing that Virginia's law violated the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. After years of legal battles, the case reached the U.S. Supreme Court.In Loving v. Virginia (1967), the Court unanimously struck down laws banning interracial marriage, declaring that "the freedom to marry… may not be infringed by the State." Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote that Virginia's law served no legitimate purpose "independent of invidious racial discrimination." The decision invalidated similar laws in 15 other states.The Lovings never sought to become civil rights icons—they simply wanted to live as a married couple in their home state. Their quiet determination reshaped American constitutional law, affirming marriage as a fundamental right and setting a legal precedent that continues to influence equal protection jurisprudence.The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily paused a lower court ruling that had blocked President Donald Trump's executive order removing collective bargaining rights for large segments of the federal workforce. U.S. District Judge James Donato had issued the initial injunction in June, finding the executive order likely violated federal employees' First Amendment rights and targeted unions viewed as adversarial to Trump. The appeals court's administrative stay keeps the order in limbo while it considers the administration's appeal, with oral arguments scheduled for July 17.Trump's order affects 21 federal agencies and would make it easier to discipline or fire employees while restricting union challenges. The order notably broadened national security exceptions to collective bargaining beyond intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI. Unions argue the move is retaliatory and affects many workers who don't handle national security matters.Earlier, a Washington, D.C. judge blocked the same order at seven agencies, including the DOJ and Treasury, but that ruling is also stayed pending appeal. The Trump administration has also filed lawsuits to void existing union contracts, though one such suit by the Treasury was dismissed for lack of standing. A related case remains pending in Texas.US court pauses block on Trump eliminating union bargaining for federal workers | ReutersThe White House is currently reviewing federal agency layoff plans following a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that permits large-scale downsizing of the government workforce. Two senior officials confirmed the review is aimed at minimizing future legal challenges by ensuring all plans comply with congressional rules and civil service regulations. Coordination is being handled through the White House Counsel's Office and the Office of Personnel Management. Although no specific timeline has been announced, officials say the layoffs are an "immediate priority," with a goal to reduce the size of government swiftly.The ruling, welcomed by the Trump administration, allows agencies to act on plans developed earlier this year under the guidance of the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk. However, the administration acknowledged that labor contracts and due process protections still apply, and lawsuits are expected even if legal thresholds are met.The State Department has already confirmed it will begin issuing termination notices imminently, having proposed nearly 2,000 job cuts in May. Overall, about 260,000 federal employees have already exited through firings, resignations, or early retirements since January. The layoffs are expected to affect more than a dozen departments, including Agriculture, Commerce, and Veterans Affairs.White House reviews mass federal layoff plans, aims for swift action | ReutersMahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and permanent U.S. resident, has filed a $20 million claim against the Trump administration, alleging false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist, was detained for over 100 days by immigration authorities who accused him of undermining U.S.–Israel relations. His legal team submitted the claim under federal rules requiring damages claims to be filed before a lawsuit. Homeland Security dismissed the claim as "absurd," defending its actions as lawful.Khalil argues his arrest was politically motivated, targeting him for his pro-Palestinian speech, and says he would accept an official apology and a policy change as an alternative to monetary compensation. He was released on bail in June after a federal judge ruled his detention violated his First Amendment rights. The case has drawn widespread attention from civil rights and Palestinian advocacy groups, who accuse the administration of equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.Trump has publicly pledged to deport foreign students participating in anti-Israel protests, and Khalil was the first high-profile detainee under this initiative. His lawyers continue to challenge his deportation, and the administration has six months to respond to his compensation claim.Mahmoud Khalil seeks $20 million from Trump administration over immigration arrest | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by George Gershwin.This week's closing theme is dedicated to one of America's most iconic composers—George Gershwin, who died on July 11, 1937, at just 38 years old. Though his life was short, Gershwin's musical legacy is vast, bridging the worlds of classical music and jazz with unprecedented flair. His compositions resonate with a distinctively American voice, and no piece captures that better than Rhapsody in Blue. Premiered in 1924, the work opens with a now-famous clarinet glissando and bursts into a vibrant, restless energy that seems to embody the optimism and chaos of early 20th-century New York.Commissioned by bandleader Paul Whiteman, Rhapsody in Blue was Gershwin's first major attempt to merge classical form with jazz idioms. What emerged was a concerto-like work that thrilled audiences and critics alike and marked the beginning of serious recognition for jazz as a concert-hall art form. Gershwin performed the piano solo himself at the premiere, having written much of it in a hurry and leaving some sections to be improvised on the spot.His sudden death from a brain tumor shocked the music world. It cut short the career of a composer who had already revolutionized American music and was poised to do much more. In works like Porgy and Bess and An American in Paris, Gershwin demonstrated a rare ability to synthesize European traditions with American vernacular music. But Rhapsody in Blue remains his most enduring testament—a collision of elegance, innovation, and vitality.As we reflect on Gershwin's passing this week, we close with Rhapsody in Blue, a work that continues to pulse with life nearly a century after its premiere. Its blend of bluesy lyricism and orchestral sweep makes it a fitting tribute to a composer whose voice was silenced too soon.Without further ado, George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, enjoy!

 "There is no such thing as a health or medical problem for which we are not your partner." - David SilversteinThe U.S. healthcare system is the third-largest economy on the planet, which makes expecting patients to navigate all of its complexities pretty unrealistic. This week's guest, David Silverstein, is aiming to make healthcare simpler for the end user, steering them when appropriate to the best care and becoming their first point of contact with the healthcare system. David explains why the system is designed to create friction, from unnecessary tests to proprietary pricing that hides the true cost of care. He also told me about his experience trying to get legislation passed that would make healthcare costs more transparent, and the lobbying groups he ran up against in that attempt. Tune in this week to learn how we make healthcare simpler for Americans!Chapters:(00:00:00) How Do We Make Healthcare Simpler? | with David Silverstein(00:06:30) Streamlining Healthcare With Modern Tech(00:12:37) Pushing For More Transparent Healthcare Legislation(00:22:30) Fair Pricing for Informed Healthcare Decisions(00:33:37) Virtual Healthcare Navigation and Coordination(00:59:37) More Transparent Healthcare Costs(01:15:22) Patient-Centered HealthcareKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/

When politicians intervene in the economy, they often do it in the name of mitigating “greed” or “profiteering.” While they can pass laws regulating prices and the like, they cannot repeal economic laws. Instead, they can only make things worse.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/exploiting-moral-unseen

In this episode, Jeremie and Edouard Harris, co-founders of Gladstone AI and national security advisors, join us to break down the real score in the U.S.–China AI race. We unpack what it actually means to “win” in AI: from cutting-edge model development and compute infrastructure to data center vulnerabilities, state-sponsored espionage, and the rise of robotic warfare. The Harris brothers explain why energy is the hidden battleground, how supply chains have become strategic liabilities, and why export controls alone won't save us. This is not just a geopolitical showdown - it's a race for superintelligence, and the clock is ticking. ------
