King Henry's Court was huge. And that makes sense.  His predecessor, King Rufus, was a party animal and, as such, his Court had swollen into a massive, roving scene where anyone who wanted power… or just free wine… crowded in through the doors. The post 509 – Court Costs first appeared on The British History Podcast.

Text "freedom" to (202) 918-5348  In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Wyoming ranchers Tyler Lindholm and James Halverson to talk about rising beef prices, the challenges facing American ranchers, and how government regulations affect what consumers ultimately pay at the grocery store. Tyler, a fifth-generation rancher, and James, a first-generation rancher, explain how beef gets from the pasture to your plate and why a highly concentrated processing industry and federal regulations make it difficult for ranchers to sell directly to consumers. They also discuss tariffs, beef imports, labeling, and why American ranchers can face more restrictions selling across state lines than foreign producers face selling beef in the United States.  They share reforms they believe could open the market to more competition, including allowing state-inspected beef to be sold across state lines and giving states more flexibility over local processing. The conversation also explores why America's cattle herd has fallen to historically low levels and what it could take to increase supply and bring beef prices down. And beyond policy, Tyler and James share why, despite the long hours and hard work, they're proud to be ranchers and continue the Western way of life.

Kathy Hochul and her Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman are promising to do to lower costs."As politicians squabble over utility rates, how much power does a governor have?"

Over the last 25 years, the U.S. government has spent billions of dollars to build a "virtual wall" of video surveillance at the southern border. The network can signal Border Patrol to respond when it detects suspicious activity. And officials have touted the benefit of providing aid to migrants in distress.But a recent investigation by MIT Technology Review and the Times of San Diego found more than 1,000 migrants have died over the last decade within range of one of these cameras.

Government borrowing costs are rising sharply around the world, led by a sell-off in US government bonds. The yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury has climbed above 5.3%, its highest in more than two decades. Also, a US judge has cleared the way for Paramount's $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. Manchester City's main sponsor, Etihad Airways, is considering legal action against the Premier League. And in Japan, consumption of its national drink, Sake, has fallen to around a third of its 1970s peak, as tastes have shifted towards drinks including beer, wine and whisky.

Late inbound shipments are quietly eroding your margins before you even see the invoice. As peak season approaches, the fee clock is ticking, and every day of delay adds up. If you spend the next thirty minutes with me, you will stop guessing about hidden costs and start protecting your cash flow before October 15. I was reading a Marketplace Pulse piece on Amazon FBA peak ship deadlines, and it hit home. Most sellers treat late inbound as a logistics issue. It is a margin issue.

You will learn how to audit your Business Reports for units per day on every SKU. You will see how to calculate the true cost of rushing shipments versus paying the peak fee. You will get a clear move to protect your margin before the deadline hits. This episode covers Amazon FBA peak ship deadlines, late inbound costs, and Amazon seller fees. It is for sellers at every level who want to keep their net margin intact during the busiest time of year. Listen now to stop losing money on delays you did not plan for.

THE EMN DAILY NEWS | Thursday, 1 October 2026The OverviewFlood watches across Texas and Oklahoma; FY27 starts on a CRFlood watches cover southern Oklahoma and much of north and central Texas today as the remnants of Hurricane Polo move across the region, with flash flood warnings overnight around Wichita Falls and a watch running through Friday evening over the Hill Country counties still in Public Assistance recovery from the July floods. Fiscal year 2027 opens on a continuing resolution that runs through December 11, holding agencies at fiscal 2026 levels and permitting up to $26.37 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund. The national preparedness level holds at 2 with 58 incidents and 4,826 personnel, down 574 in a day, with no new large fires. Year-to-date fire counts were adjusted sharply upward to 62,218, moving the season from 124 to 134 percent of the ten-year average. Dome in Yosemite National Park reached 39 percent contained as a second California team mobilizes. For great insight from leading emergency managment professionals, visit EM Network on Substack. KEY TAKEAWAYSOklahoma and north Texas: The Norman forecast office holds a flood watch until 1 p.m. today for 25 Oklahoma counties and five northern Texas counties, with 2 to 4 inches likely and local amounts to 6 inches. Flash flood warnings ran overnight for Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, Iowa Park and Sheppard Air Force Base after 1 to 3 inches fell in short order.Central Texas: The Fort Worth office carries a flood watch through Friday morning across north central Texas, including Dallas, Denton, Collin and McLennan counties, with 2 to 3 inches widespread and localized totals to 5 inches. The Austin and San Antonio office holds a watch until 7 p.m. Friday for Hill Country counties including Kerr, Bandera, Uvalde, Real, Edwards, Gillespie and Kendall, all of which carry open Public Assistance from the July declaration.Fiscal year: Agencies begin fiscal 2027 under the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, signed September 2, which funds the government through December 11 at prior-year levels. The measure permits up to $26.37 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund, with obligations charged against fiscal 2027 appropriations rather than treated as supplemental. Under a continuing resolution, agencies cannot start programs, projects or activities that were not already funded and active, which constrains new grant starts until a full-year bill passes.Get ready, Long Beach! Join emergency management professionals from across the country and around the world for the IAEM 74th Annual Conference & EMEX, November 9-11, 2026, and experience three incredible days of big ideas, new connections, innovation, and the people shaping the future of emergency management. We'll see you in Long Beach!Wildfire posture: Preparedness Level 2 with 58 incidents, 14 uncontained large fires, 1,641,606 acres and 4,826 personnel, a drop of 574, per the Wednesday situation report. Initial attack was light, with 91 fires and no new large incidents; one large fire was contained, and five complex teams were committed. The Northwest, Northern California and Southern Area each released more than 220 people in a single operational period.Reporting adjustment: Year-to-date fires rose from 57,521 to 62,218 in one reporting cycle, almost entirely in the Southern Area, which moved from 28,661 to 33,302. That shifts the season from 124 to 134 percent of the ten-year average for fire counts. The situation report attributes such changes to mapping or reporting adjustments rather than new activity, and a similar acreage swing last week reversed within days.California: Dome in Yosemite National Park grew 151 acres to 5,410 and jumped to 39 percent contained, up from 31, with 932 personnel and California Team 4 mobilizing. Costs stand at $24 million. Plaskett on the Los Padres National Forest is fully contained, and Timber holds at 88 percent with numerous structures still threatened.Northwest: Eight uncontained large fires and 2,186 personnel, down 239. Command on Little Giant transfers from Northwest Team 13 to Northwest Team 12 today, with the fire at 93 percent contained and structures still threatened. Sisi near Stehekin nearly doubled containment to 29 percent, with residences threatened.Recovery calendar: SBA physical damage deadlines for the September 1 public assistance declarations close November 1 in Colorado and South Dakota and November 2 in Missouri and Texas, with economic injury applications open to June 1, 2027. Texas recently added Grimes, Live Oak, McMullen and Schleicher counties for Public Assistance, and its Individual Assistance request covering 30 counties remains pending.Fire weather: Breezy northerly winds in the Sacramento Valley and southern California ease this morning, but relative humidity of 10 to 15 percent persists with above-normal temperatures. In the southern Plains, breezy south winds of 10 to 18 miles per hour and minimum humidity of 25 to 35 percent create locally elevated conditions.SOURCESTexas and Oklahoma floodingNWS Norman: Flood Watch for 25 Oklahoma counties and five northern Texas counties, issued Oct 1 at 1:41 a.m. CDT until 1 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/oklahoma-texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-2341NWS Norman: Flash Flood Warning for Wichita County, Texas, issued Oct 1 at 2:57 a.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flash-flood-warning-effective-10012026-0057NWS Norman: Flash Flood Warning for southeastern Archer and southern Clay counties, issued Oct 1 at 1:45 a.m. CDThttps://www.defconlevel.com/alert/2026-10-01-nws-noaa-weather-flash-flood-warning-issued-october-1-at-1-45am-cdt-until-october-1-at-4-45am-cdt-by-nws-norman-okNWS Fort Worth: Flood Watch through Friday morning for north central Texas, issued Sept 30 at 2:26 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-1226NWS Austin/San Antonio: Flood Watch until 7 p.m. Oct 2 for Hill Country counties, issued Sept 30 at 9:52 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-1952Federal fundingWhite House: H.R. 6500, Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, signed Sept 2, funding agencies through Dec 11https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2026/09/congressional-bill-h-r-6500-signed-into-law/Congressional Research Service summary via Legis1: $26.37 billion permitted for the Disaster Relief Fund under the continuing resolutionhttps://legis1.com/news/fy2027-continuing-resolution-funds-agenciesOffice of the Texas Governor: four additional counties approved for Public Assistance, Individual Assistance request pendinghttps://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-approval-of-federal-disaster-assistance-for-four-additional-counties-following-summer-storms-and-floodingWildfire, nationalNICC Incident Management Situation Report and Predictive Services discussion: Wednesday, Sept 30, 2026, 0730 MDT (live PDF, overwritten daily).

Clark County Council debated whether to send a letter to congressional leaders about the SAVE Act, focusing on implementation costs and election timing. WSAC and NACo estimate the act would cost counties millions. Councilor Matt Little proposed asking the Clark County Auditor for county-specific facts instead of a boilerplate letter, and the council approved that approach. https://clarkcountytoday.com/story/county-councilors-discuss-letter-regarding-timing-cost-save #SAVEAct #ClarkCounty #VoterEligibility #Elections #WashingtonState #ClarkCountyCouncil #LocalGovernment #ElectionCosts

Why does everything cost more while the quality keeps getting worse?That's the question behind this episode. We look at why your paycheck doesn't stretch as far, why buying a home is so much harder, and why so many things cost more while giving you less.From shrinkflation and CEO incentives to bailouts and crony capitalism, the bigger story is about the rules and incentives underneath the economy. And that leads to the final question: what changed about the money itself, and where does Bitcoin fit in?

Andy discusses several business challenges faced by contractors, beginning with the issue of soaring diesel prices and explaining why he chooses to absorb these costs rather than implementing immediate fuel surcharges on current clients. Instead, he advocates for adjusting general pricing and hourly rates on future estimates to maintain transparency and avoid nickel-and-diming customers. Transitioning to project management, the host emphasizes that the hallmark of a successful contractor is reliable communication and following through on commitments, expressing deep frustration with unreliable subcontractors like pool companies that fail to meet deadlines. He also shares his approach to snow removal contracts, noting that he continually updates pricing to account for escalating operational expenses like labor and materials while refusing to rely heavily on winter income.

Send us Fan MailWhat does teaching cost when you're managing to keep up?Last week, we looked at the demands teaching places on your brain, your body, and your life. In Part II of our teacher health series, we ask what those demands cost when they accumulate year after year. The answer isn't always a dramatic breaking point. Sometimes it's the margin you no longer have for an ordinary bad day, the break you spend recovering, or the parts of your life that keep getting whatever is left of you.In this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa Jackson talks about the quieter costs of teaching, including a conversation with her daughter that changed how she understood her “family-friendly” career. Having time with the people you love and having yourself available to them may be two different things.In this episode:Why getting through an extraordinary workload doesn't mean you've recovered from itThe familiar teacher experience of getting sick as soon as a school break beginsHow shrinking margin makes ordinary life harder to absorbThe opportunity cost behind every “yes” you give to workWhat Vanessa's daughter helped her see about the cost to their familyWhy a job search can feel like an obstacle course when you're already exhaustedHow to translate teaching experience so employers outside education can recognize your skillsA Teacher Hack that may give you back some time each week: curbside grocery pickupIn the Career Transition and Job Search segment, Vanessa also discusses a TikTok résumé story and the conversation it sparked about applicant tracking systems, unclear job descriptions, and the work candidates do before a hiring manager ever sees them. If you're applying outside education and hearing nothing back, difficulty navigating the hiring process is a different question from whether you're capable of doing the job.Links mentioned in the episodeWatch the TikTok résumé videoListen to “Bravado” on Rush's official YouTube channelReady to talk about your next step?

Cloud device farms make it easy to get started with real device testing. But what happens when you need to scale? Costs climb fast, you wait in a queue for the devices you need, and you lose visibility into what's actually happening when a test fails. In this episode, Nick Metcalfe, Head of Technical Sales Engineering at Cambrionix, joins Joe to explain why more testing teams are bringing their device labs in house. Nick shares how one team was quoted roughly a million dollars a month to outsource their real device testing, then cut that cost to around $300K by building their own lab. And cost is only part of the story. You'll discover why an in house device lab can outperform a cloud lab: Lower cost at scale. Cloud pricing works for small test runs, but at enterprise scale an in house lab can save hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. No waiting in line. Your devices are yours, available whenever you need them, with no queue and faster turnaround. Full control and visibility. See exactly what's happening at the hardware level, down to the millisecond a USB controller reboots, so you can tell a real bug from an infrastructure failure. Test the devices your users actually have. Keep legacy phones, budget devices, and hand me downs in your lab, just like Snap does to support its user base across 12,000+ devices and 700,000 tests a day. Test custom hardware. Point of sale systems, VR headsets, smart devices, and prototypes that a cloud vendor simply won't have. Automate the hands on work. Reboot devices, recover from restore mode, and put 16 Apple devices into DFU mode at once, all through an API that plugs into your CI pipeline. Protect your device investment. Hold batteries at a set charge level to reduce wear and extend device life for years. Nick also covers the honest tradeoffs, including the setup and resources an in house lab requires, and why a hybrid approach of emulators first and real devices second gives you the most confidence before release. Plus, his number one tip for building a lab: do it once, do it right. If your team is scaling mobile test automation, fighting flaky tests, or questioning your cloud device farm bill, this episode is for you.

A big sale, successful project, or strong revenue number can look impressive until you calculate what it actually cost to produce.In this episode of It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R. Glass and Patricia Reszetylo discuss return on investment and the costs business owners can overlook when evaluating whether an investment actually paid off.The conversation begins with an example Patricia encountered in a webinar.

When Following Jesus Costs You Something Real | Before You Quit #9 What happens when following Jesus costs you something—or someone—you genuinely love? In Day 9 of Before You Quit: Hope for the Christian Who Feels Done, Rob Skinner talks about a part of Christianity that can be painful to accept: Obedience can cost you something real. When Rob became a Christian during his junior year of college, one of the first people he wanted to tell was his best friend from high school. This was someone Rob could completely be himself around. They had taken road trips together. Made memories together. Enjoyed their college years together. Rob expected his friend to understand why his newfound faith meant so much to him. Instead, something changed almost immediately. His friend's body language changed. A relationship that had always felt completely comfortable suddenly became awkward. And eventually, the friendship was effectively over. Rob was shocked. He had expected the people closest to him to see what he saw in the gospel. Instead, he experienced firsthand Jesus' warning: "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." — Matthew 10:22 Jesus also said: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." — Matthew 10:34 Christianity in Concept vs. Christianity in Reality Christianity in concept can sound awesome and amazing. Christianity in reality can be painful and costly. Following Jesus can sometimes cost you: Friends. Opportunities. Invitations. Promotions. Your reputation. Comfort. Parts of the life you once knew. And when that happens, it's easy to start looking backward. You may begin wondering: "Was my life better before?" "Is something wrong with me?" "Is something wrong with my church?" "Is something wrong with my faith?" But sometimes people's reaction to your faith is less about what they think of you and more about what they think of Jesus. Your new faith, standards and worldview may make people uncomfortable. They may feel judged. They may feel replaced by your Christian friends. They may feel neglected by your new priorities and schedule. Following Jesus can change relationships. And that can hurt. Jesus Never Hid the Cost Jesus said: "Those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples." — Luke 14:33 Sacrifice isn't an optional part of Christianity. And it isn't partial. Jesus' call touches everything we consider valuable: Our lives. Our families. Our friendships. Our money. Our time. Our habits. Our behavior. Our possessions. So if you're considering walking away from Jesus because following him has cost you something, slow down before you make that decision. Ask yourself: What am I really giving up if I walk away? Then turn your attention back to Jesus. Paul writes: "Though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." — 2 Corinthians 8:9 Jesus understands sacrifice. He gave up wealth. Relationships. Honor. Prestige. Comfort. And ultimately, his life. He gave everything to win your heart. So when obedience feels expensive, remember what Jesus has already given you—and what he continues to give. Before you quit because the cost feels too high, look again at Jesus. He is worth the cost. This is Day 9 of Rob Skinner's Before You Quit series, based on his new book, Before You Quit: Hope for the Christian Who Feels Done. If you know someone who's discouraged because following Jesus has cost them friendships, relationships, opportunities or comfort, send them this episode. Rob's goal is to inspire you to live a no-regrets life, make this life count, and multiply disciples, leaders, and churches.

In Episode 344, Kestrel welcomes Beth Esponette, the Cofounder and CPO at Unspun, to the show. A fashion-tech company, Unspun has built the world's first 3D weaving technology for apparel. Their OneWeave™ system enables woven products to be made locally in California, on demand, and with almost zero waste. "Sewing machines are incredible things and can make products in a really great way. But what if we went to the drawing board and kind of started from scratch and took inspiration from nature and took inspiration from the concepts of growth and decay? And when you get very conceptual and you peel back layers and you take away a lot of the assumptions you've made, you do make some weird choices. But eventually, it might lead to something like a new path." -Beth Building on last week's episode, this show continues to expand on the theme of RETHINKING FASHION'S CONVENTIONAL MANUFACTURING MODELS. I've found myself very enthralled with these two approaches — the idea of digitally dyed denim which we heard about from Adam of Triarchy in our last episode, and another concept we're about to explore in this show. Through each approach, they are basically cutting out steps that are typically required in the clothing manufacturing process today.  Through creative solutions, they are engaging in systems change through practice. It's not a theoretical concept they are exploring – they are in the process of doing it. Amidst the current times we are living in, full of performative statements, actions without accountability and a whole lot of AI slop, these two founders are bringing me so much hope. This week's guest has developed a creative solution for garment making – what she and her team call 3D WEAVING. In this reimagined approach, the steps of fabric weaving along with the cut and sew process combine together into one individual step – as they say, they take you from yarn to garment in 20 minutes, all under one roof.  As you'll hear from her, there is massive potential to reduce the current environmental impact of the fashion industry through consolidation of the supply chain – which is what my guest's company is hyper-focused on – pushing to reduce global human carbon emissions by 1% through revolutionizing how and where clothing gets made.  From yarn to energy to waste, this technology brings very interesting ideas to the fore – we explore how 3D weaving works in practice, the various ways it can reduce emissions, whether the industry is ready for this type of systems change, what a just transition looks like when incorporating this technology, and the complex yet important role that pledges play in pushing for change. Quotes and links from our conversation: "Humans have created the systems that we kind of exist in. We've created our own worlds. And I think we should always be questioning them because yes, this system of how we make clothing has been around for 200 years, but in the grand scheme of things, 200 years is not that long. And there are other ways that we might be able to consider making them." -Beth Unspun's Website The Climate Pledge Unspun's Instagram

LikeFolio's Megan Brantley sees consumer interest in Carnival (CCL) up about 15% year over year with strong forward looking demand for the 2027 cruise season. She notes Carnival's value positioning is drawing families booking seven day cruises and party crowds on four day trips, with onboard spending up 9% last quarter even as ticket prices rose just 2%. Brantley remains cautiously bullish with an earnings score of 24, tempered by fuel costs, stretched consumer budgets, and conflict impacting European demand.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
