The fall harvest is wrapping up across Minnesota. But will farmers turn a profit? Following a meeting Thursday between President Trump and China's president Xi Jinping, there is hope that China will resume buying at least some soybeans and other export crops from the U.S. But Minnesota farmers are still suffering from the fallout of the trade war. They're also grappling with inflation, tighter credit and increasingly unpredictable weather. And, the federal government shutdown has slowed access to farm loans, crop insurance, disaster aid and other programs. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks with a farmer and Minnesota's agricultural commissioner about these challenges and what's next.

I denne episode af Velfærdsprofeten undersøger Lotte Andersen og Stine Rahr Bruzelius, hvordan fagprofessionelle bedst kan møde mennesker i sorg. Sammen med Line Engel Clasen, ph.d. og psykolog ved Det Nationale Sorgcenter samt Ester Holte Kofod, ph.d. og adjunkt ved Københavns Professionshøjskole, dykker vi ned i sorgens mange facetter og ser på, hvordan vi kan støtte uden at overskride den sørgendes grænser. Når vi som professionelle møder børn, unge eller voksne i sorg, kan det vække stærke følelser og usikkerhed. Vi vil gerne hjælpe – men hvordan? Der ligger ofte en forventning om, at vi skal kunne sige eller gøre noget, der lindrer. Det kan føre til urimelige krav til os selv, påpeger Ester Holte Kofod, der har forsket i projektet 'Sorgens kultur' ved Aalborg Universitet. Sorg er ikke en lineær proces. Den almene forståelse, beskrevet i tosporsmodellen af Stroebe og Shut, ser sorg som en bevægelse mellem to spor: sorgen over tabet og genopbygningen af livet. Nogle dage fylder sorgen alt, andre dage er der håb og måske endda smil.Men ønsket om at "fixe" sorgen kan stå i vejen for reel støtte. I iveren efter at vise omsorg, risikerer vi at ignorere den sørgendes behov – eller vi kan ende med at gøre ingenting af frygt for at gøre det værre. Udsendelsen giver ikke færdige råd – men den åbner for refleksion: Hvordan kan vi som fagprofessionelle være til stede, uden at tage over? Hvordan kan vi støtte, uden at overskride? Lyt med, og få nye perspektiver på, hvordan vi møder sorg – både som mennesker og som professionelle.Tekster om sorg og sorgprocesser:Clasen, Line Engel og Ditte Lottrup, Børns Sorg, Månedsskrift for Almen Praksis 2025Kofod, E.

Dave Druz has never told his story... not like this, not anywhere. For over 40 years, he traded quietly, systematically, and on his own terms. No marketing, no headlines, no need to explain. Until now. In this unique conversation with Moritz Seibert, Dave - Ed Seykota's first apprentice - shares how he built his approach, why he never identified as a trend follower, and what matters when your edge comes from standing opposite commercial hedgers. He explains why portfolio construction outranks entries, why volatility is the price of real risk, and why staying small was a choice, not a limitation. From medicine to markets, from apprenticeship to independence, this isn't just how he traded - it's why he stayed silent, and why he's speaking now.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Moritz on Twitter.Read more about David.Episode TimeStamps:02:11 - Introduction to Dave Druz13:50 - Druz' time in the Commodities Corporation19:14 - How did Druz discover trend following?23:57 - The core philosophy behind Druz' trend following strategy28:08 - Who wins and loses in the markets?37:37 - Determining hedging flows in commodity markets41:03 - Managing money in trend following43:40 - How does Druz size a position and get out of it?45:16 - Coping with a high level of volatility50:23 - Mitigate drawdown or take the...

What happens when two people face cancer together… with completely opposite coping styles? In today's episode, Jen and Darren get honest (and a little hilarious) about how they navigated breast cancer and brain cancer — one through research and planning, the other through humor and distraction. You'll hear: ✨ How each of us reacted in those first terrifying days ✨ The strengths AND pitfalls of our styles ✨ Why there is no one "right" way to deal with trauma We hope this conversation reminds you that love doesn't require matching emotions — just mutual respect and a willingness to show up, even when fear shows up differently. Because if there's one thing we've learned, it's this: There is no perfect way to cope with cancer… there's only your way.

Is it just us or has Halloween ghosted everyone this year? Usually this is a holiday loved and looked forward to by dang near everybody, but this year the enthusiasm feels a bit lacking. We're not seeing as many decorations for Halloween or even for fall in general. Our social media feeds are dripping with political bickering instead of flowing over with the annual ghosts, ghoulies, pumpkins, costumes, hot spiced apple cider recipes, or the warm and cozy autumn aesthetics. Times are tough for sure but it's sad to think that maybe this holiday and all the magick it brings might slip away unnoticed.Join us as we talk about where the spirit of the season may have disappeared and how we can get it back before the candles in the jack-o-lanterns burn down and flicker out completely.If you're enjoying the podcast we'd love it if you could help us spread the word by telling your friends, subscribing to the podcast, and leaving a rating or review.

"Scanxiety" is the anxiety and fear experienced before, during, and after medical imaging tests, such as CT scans, MRIs, or PET scans, and it is a common challenge for people living with a cancer diagnosis. This includes feelings of dread, fear, and uncertainty that can interfere with sleep, appetite, focus, and overall well-being.  Learn strategies to cope so you can stay calm and confident through this difficult time.Support the showGet show notes and resources at our website: every1dies.org.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with teacher and mind-body guide Sam Miller to unpack why your symptoms aren't the problem, they're your body's solution. We dig into repression, the shadow, nervous system myths, and how to actually allow emotions to complete so you can return to real regulation (without biohacks, force, or fixing).What I Cover in This Episode:✨ Symptoms as the solution — Why anxiety, fatigue, pain, and ED behaviours are the healing process trying to complete, not enemies to fight✨ Repressed charge & the shadow — How unfelt fear/grief/anger get stored in the body and surface when you're finally safe enough to feel✨ The “allowing” method — A simple, titrated way to meet sensations (not stories) and let the energy finish its arc✨ Breath that doesn't backfire — When breathwork helps, when it overwhelms, and how to “be breathed” at the edge of resistance✨ Primary vs. secondary emotions — Spotting shame/anxiety as blockers so you can access the real thing underneath✨ Coping mechanisms with compassion — Why food rules, over-exercise, purging, biohacking & perfectionism were brilliant adaptations...until they weren't✨ The nervous system reframe — Regulation isn't something you do to yourself; it's what happens when you stop resisting what wants to move✨ Integration matters — Why the sleepy, foggy “after” (tingles, yawns, warmth) is your system updating, not you “relapsing”✨ Identity, control & safety — Letting the costume fall away, meeting the fear of rejection/abandonment, and building inner safety as the adult self✨ ED specifics — Extreme hunger, purge urges, and the “runner's high” explained through survival energy (plus what to do in the moment)Powerful quotes from the episode:

Parenting a child who doesn't respond to sticker charts, time-outs, or threats can feel defeating. You've tried rewards, consequences, and everything in between—and still the meltdowns, backtalk, and battles keep happening. You're not alone.In this episode, I explain why rewards and consequences don't land for dysregulated kids and what you can do instead. You'll learn the brain science behind why your child can't connect actions to outcomes in meltdown mode, plus practical strategies to shift from frustration to regulation.Why don't rewards and consequences work for my child?Many parents wonder why their child's behavior doesn't change despite sticker charts, time out, or taking away toys. The truth is:A dysregulated brain can't learn. When kids are in survival mode, their emotional brain takes over and logic shuts down.Rewards only stick when the brain is calm. Extrinsic rewards like tangible rewards or material rewards can't replace intrinsic motivation.Consequences may backfire. Punishment often increases frustration, lowers a child's self-esteem, and damages connection.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. Let's calm the brain first so your child can actually absorb lessons and develop lasting skills.How do I respond when my child's behavior feels out of control?When your child's actions push every button you have, it's tempting to react with harsher discipline. But behavior is communication, and what looks like “bad behavior” is often a stress response.Here's what helps instead:Pause before reacting. Ask yourself: “Is my child regulated enough for this to land?”Co-regulate first. A calm presence, gentle tone, and predictable routines teach safe and appropriate behavior more than threats ever will.Connection before correction. When your child feels seen and safe, they're far more likely to return to positive behaviors.This shift helps your child learn that they're not a “bad kid,” but a person developing the ability to manage emotions and actions.Want to stay calm when your child pushes every button?Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit—your step-by-step guide to stop oppositional behaviors without yelling or giving in.Go to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and grab your kit today.What can I do to actually teach my child positive behaviors?Kids don't learn self-control through punishment—they learn through practice in everyday life when they're calm.Model regulation. Show how adults handle frustration with empathy and consistency.Teach in calm moments. Coping skills, flexibility, and problem-solving only stick when your child is regulated.Use natural consequences. These are more effective than arbitrary punishments because they're tied to specific behaviors.For example, if your child forgets homework, the natural consequence is explaining to their teacher—not losing screen time.Encourage effort, not just results. Praise hard work, practice, and small successes to build a child's self-esteem and intrinsic motivation.Remember, positive reinforcement doesn't mean bribery—it means helping your child connect actions to outcomes in a way that builds confidence and responsibility.Want real tools that actually work in the heat of a meltdown?

To be honest, talking about job search strategies and leadership best practices feels a bit futile while our nation flirts with fascism.  So, on this episode, I'm taking a look at how we can continue to function when we're faced with crisis after crisis, day after day.Let's talk about how we can help—ourselves and others who may be feeling despair, too:How the overwhelm campaign is a deliberate strategy designed to shock us into submission;Why we need to start by checking in with our basic needs;The deep damage of doomscrolling;How the combination of finding meaning and taking action can create change.Related Links:American Psychological Association, Stress in America 2024 - https://www.apa.org/pubs/reports/stress-in-america/2024Frontline interview with Steve Bannon - https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/interview/steve-bannon-3/Vox, “Flood the zone with sh*t”: How misinformation overwhelmed our democracy - https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/1/16/20991816/impeachment-trial-trump-bannon-misinformationAmerican Friends Service Committee, “How allies can defend against ICE raids” - https://afsc.org/news/how-allies-can-defend-against-ice-raidsNational Immigrant Justice Center, “Know Your Rights: If You Encounter ICE” - https://immigrantjustice.org/for-immigrants/know-your-rights/ice-encounter/Episode 293, What 2020 Taught Me (About F-Off Funds) - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode293TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

One of the first things I learned about drinking was that when adults are stressed, they drink, and the stress goes away. As a high stress person, it made perfect sense to me to start drinking every day to manage my stress. This is coping drinking in action. Drinking didn't help me manage anything. It delayed my problems and allowed them to get worse. In this episode you'll learn why alcohol is so effective for coping, how long term coping drinking impacts the brain, and what to expect when you first quit drinking.

Navigating food allergies is tough enough, but adding family dynamics to the mix can make things even more complicated. When loved ones don't understand you or your child's allergies or dismiss the rules meant to keep them safe, it can lead to conflict, hurt feelings, and stress for everyone involved. Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta sit down with psychologist Dr. Amanda Whitehouse to talk about how families can find common ground when emotions run high. Together, they unpack what it means to stay regulated in difficult conversations, how to set healthy boundaries with family members, and why understanding different coping styles can help prevent conflict before it starts. What we cover about communication and boundary-setting for food allergy families: Coping styles and conflict: Learn how different stress responses, such as “fight” versus “flight,” shape how partners, parents, and relatives react to food allergy challenges. Staying calm and regulated: Understand how your body reacts to stress and how recognizing those signals can help you stay grounded during tough conversations. Setting and holding boundaries: Get practical tips for explaining what feels safe, keeping communication clear, and responding calmly when others push back. Working together as a team: Whether it's with your partner, kids, or extended family, learn how to support each other and stay united when emotions rise. Bridging family differences: Explore ways to include children and siblings in allergy safety, and approach older relatives with patience and compassion when views or communication styles differ. ___ Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

In this deeply moving episode of The Surviving Siblings® Podcast, host Maya Roffler sits down with Tommy, a surviving sibling who lost two brothers—John to addiction and Tim to cancer. Tommy shares a powerful testimony of family, trauma, guilt, grief, and recovery offering a rare and vulnerable glimpse into what it means to survive sibling loss from two very different but equally devastating causes. Raised in Queens, New York, Tommy opens up about growing up in a family marked by love, loyalty, and generational addiction. He candidly recounts the progression of his brother John's substance use following a workplace injury and the day he tragically discovered his brother unresponsive. Just two days later, Tommy's beloved Aunt Angela, like a second mother to him, died by suicide. Years later, after achieving long-term sobriety, Tommy would face unimaginable grief again, this time, losing his twin brother Tim to 9/11-related cancer after witnessing his hard-fought battle to get sober. With 30+ years of recovery, Tommy now dedicates his life to helping families through his organization, Sober Companion Los Angeles, supporting others impacted by addiction and loss. This episode holds space for anyone navigating complex grief, guilt, and healing after losing a sibling to addiction, overdose, or cancer—and reminds us that asking for help is an act of strength.   In This Episode: (0:00:00) – Meet Tommy and His Family in Queens Tommy introduces his close-knit, working-class New York family, their upbringing in Queens, and the presence of generational addiction beginning with his parents.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety. Sound bites "How do we actually manage stress?" "Your brain and body are one thing." "Radical acceptance is not giving up."

This episode was recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the 2025 Tri-State Dairy Conference.Dr. Schwanke begins by describing how we can shape cattle personalities through handling and management and adapting our strategies to accommodate different personality traits so as to not cause undue stress. Personality traits are consistent across time and context, which is nuanced by the other animals in a particular group. There are five generally recognized personality traits: boldness, exploration, activity, sociability and aggressiveness. Some debate exists as to whether dominance should be considered a sixth trait or if it's just an outcome of the other five. (5:43)Dr. Schwanke's research focused mainly on how cows react to specific stressors, such as adapting to an automated milking system. In a robotic system, cows who are more independent, explorative and bold are more likely to do well. Some diversity is good because it can help to minimize long-term antagonistic interactions in a group. If we have cows that are very similar to each other, it will take longer for them to establish a social hierarchy.  (10:05)The panel discusses where the research is in regard to on-farm applicability and potential genetic components of personality traits. In the future, Dr. Schwanke envisions automated assessments of cow personality through computer vision cameras in the barn, fed into an algorithm that creates a personality ranking of cows based on their behaviors. She also notes personality traits can help predict a cow's coping style: proactive, reactive and intermediate. Proactive cows are more bold, explorative and aggressive. They thrive in predictable, stable conditions. Reactive cows are more fearful, less active and less dominant. They typically do better than proactive cows in unpredictable or changing environments because they're better able to modify their behavior to the environment they find themselves in. (14:09)The panel talks about future research goals in this area, including transition to automated milking systems, modifying feed management for behavioral and nutritional requirements and impacts of commingling stress. The guests also explore behavioral research in calves and brainstorm about future research with this age group, as well as talk about potential implications of making the wrong selection decisions for personality traits. (20:08)Are there things dairy producers could do to condition calves to be more adaptable to an automated milking system later in life? If a calf is reared in an automated feeding system, do they adapt to an automated milking system more easily? We don't have the research yet to answer these questions, but they're great questions. The panel also talks about how to scale up personality trait information to large herds, how precision feeding systems and personality traits might interact and how machine learning and computer vision technology can automate personality trait assessments.
