Trump is now expanding the tariffs using other methods. Yet now, there are also questions of whether America could be forced to pay back money from the tariffs.We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
Returns are no longer just a headache, they're a strategic opportunity. As the circular economy gains momentum, reverse logistics is quickly becoming one of the most important levers in modern supply chains.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Deborah Dull are joined by Scot Case, Vice President of Sustainability at the National Retail Federation (NRF), and Tony Sciarrotta, Senior Director of Reverse Logistics and Circularity at NRF, to share key insights from the NRF Rev event and discuss why reverse logistics deserves a seat at the strategy table.The conversation explores how resale, repair, and recycling are moving into the mainstream, and why returns should no longer be treated as a cost center. From the surge in e-commerce returns to increasing legislative pressure through extended producer responsibility, the group breaks down how these forces are changing retail and supply chain operations.Deborah adds perspective on how technology improves visibility and accountability across the returns process.

Matthew 5:38-48 The undergirding principle of Christianity is love. Jesus modeled the idea of turning the other cheek by giving himself up on the cross. If Christ says "I am love," and we are supposed to imitate Christ, then our lives should reflect that same type of love. What dose God's love look like? God's love is sacrificial God's love is for everyone God's love is different Crossroads – about heaven, earth, and the journey in between.

Violence and geopolitical tensions deepen in Iran as student protests erupt on university campuses, clashing with regime militia while pro-regime crowds burn U.S. and Israeli flags. The unrest comes as Tehran warns that any U.S. military strike including a so-called limited attack would be treated as full-scale aggression. The escalating rhetoric unfolds amid rising international pressure, with President Donald Trump weighing military options and both sides preparing for renewed talks in Geneva over diplomatic proposal aimed at preventing further escalation. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr. Thamar Gindin from the Haifa University EZRI center about the unfolding situation. (photo: F240520CG32/flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In On the Other Side of Pain, Laurel Boivin explores pain as an inevitable part of the human experience—and a powerful catalyst for transformation when it is met with honesty, care, and time. Rather than bypassing or minimizing pain, this episode invites listeners to slow down, feel what needs to be felt, and trust the nonlinear process of healing.Laurel reflects on how pain lives in the body, why we are not meant to carry it alone, and what it means to be truly resourced while healing. From honoring grief and loss to choosing whether pain hardens or softens us, this conversation gently guides listeners toward the awareness, perspective, and compassion that often emerge on the other side of pain.This conversation focuses on: Why dismissing pain—or rushing to meaning—can slow healing rather than support itThe importance of allowing grief, loss, anger, and disappointment to be felt and honoredWhat it means to be “well resourced” while processing pain, and why support mattersHow pain can shape who we become without defining or diminishing usThe choice pain presents: hardening for protection or softening with awareness and compassionJournaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. Who am I now, on the other side—or in the midst—of this experience?How has this experience changed my path, my priorities, or the way I see my life?What did I learn about myself during the healing and processing, not just from what happened?What knowledge, wisdom, or insight do I now carry that I didn't have before?Who might benefit from what I know now, and how might I share it in a human, grounded way?Where do I notice pain living in my body, and what might help me release or soften it?In what ways has pain clarified what truly matters to me?When I think about this experience, do I notice myself hardening or softening—and what choice feels most supportive right now?What beliefs, faith, or inner trust help me remember that my life is still unfolding?What feels different in me today, even if I don't feel “better”—and how can I honor that shift?Host/Cohost/Guest InfoGuiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life.

Sometimes we all feel like we're doomed to repeat the past. We always seem to say or do the wrong things. And we keep making the same mistakes. But no matter how many times we've made the same mistake, we're not doomed to repeat the past. We can always choose a new direction.

Quote by David Benner: The Christian spiritual journey is a journey we take with others. Each of us must take our own journey, and for each of us that journey will be unique. But none of us is intended to make that journey alone. The myth of the solitary Christian making his or her own way alone to paradise flies in the face of everything the Bible teaches about the church as the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-31). We are parts of one body as we follow Christ on the journey of personal transformation. We cannot make the journey apart from spiritual companions and community. Are we paying attention? 1.) A guiding assumption: God is already up to something good in your life, in your community, and in the world… A simple definition... Mentoring is a companionship in which two or more persons intentionally come together to pay attention to God's activity in their lives. Who noticed you? 2.) We have a tremendous need to be seen and recognized. Jesus' relational way with others 3.) Jesus is “a first-class noticer” of others. (Mark 5: 24-34, Luke 19: 1-19; 24:13-35) Who are you walking with? 4.) There is no shortcut or substitute for life-upon-life when it comes to learning to follow Jesus… Quote by Keri Wyatt Kent: If we are led by the Spirit, we will increasingly imitate God and become people who are filled with “coming-alongside-ness.” That is, we listen to God and people and then come into their story, get involved with them enough that we can point out where God is in their story and allow them to do that for us as well. When we are full of coming-alongside-ness, we will be willing to walk with people through their pain; we will listen before we try to fix. We will be with people.

Devil deals, cursed bargains, crossroads temptation, and payback from hell — this Weekly Spooky horror compilation is packed with supernatural revenge, demonic contracts, and the kind of “too good to be true” offers that always come with blood in the fine print.Tonight's theme: Deals with the Devil. Four stories. Four bargains. And every single one of them comes due.Stories in this compilation (in order):“The Deal Was Great, But The Payments Are Hell” — Joe Solmo: A paranoid man on the run thinks he's being hunted… but the truth at his motel door is far worse than he imagined. “Even Witches Can Cry” — Charles Campbell: A grieving mother makes the one promise you never make… and the debt collector shows up when life finally feels normal again. “Gamble with the Devil” — David O'Hanlon: A would-be mercenary wants glory on camera—until a “simple” raid turns into an invitation to something ancient, hungry, and very real. “The Devil Knows Three Chords” — John Oak Dalton: Two bluegrass legends hit a breaking point backstage in 1968… and one of them may have gotten famous the wrong way. If you love scary stories, demon lore, witchcraft horror, and crossroads mythology, press play… and remember: the devil doesn't need your soul up front—just your signature.

Lauren and her husband are 35. Two kids. Solid income. No credit card debt. $70,000 saved. They're doing everything right. And now their landlord just dropped the bomb: he's probably selling the house. They've been paying $2,750 a month in rent. Buying a similar home would run about $2,900 a month with taxes, insurance, and PMI. On paper, that's only a $150 jump. In reality? It feels like stepping into a financial thunderstorm. Because everywhere they turn, they hear the same thing: “Terrible time to buy.” “Wait for rates to drop.” “The market's about to shift.” So the question becomes: Are they crazy for even considering it? This week, Pete, Dame, and Cricket break down what Americans everywhere are wrestling with in 2026: Is this actually a “bad” housing market — or just an uncomfortable one? What does 8% down really mean in terms of risk and flexibility? How much emergency savings should a young family protect at all costs? Is a $2,900 payment on $155,000 income responsible… or reckless? And most importantly — what's the real cost of waiting? We'll walk through the math, but we'll also unpack the psychology. Because this isn't just about interest rates. It's about stability. Kids. Lifestyle. Career mobility. And whether owning a home still means what it used to mean. Plus, we'll tackle the dangerous myth floating around right now: that there's some magical “perfect time” to buy. If you're renting and wondering whether to jump into the market… If you're watching rates like they're a playoff game… If you're scared to move but scared to stay… This episode is for you. Because sometimes the smartest financial decision isn't about timing the market. It's about knowing your own numbers — and your own tolerance for risk. Are Lauren and her husband crazy? Or are they just standing at the most normal financial crossroads of their generation? Let's find out.

This week on The Health Advocates, we unpack a series of developments that signal a pivotal moment in U.S. health policy. The FDA has refused to review Moderna’s new mRNA-based flu vaccine, raising questions about regulatory standards and the future of vaccine innovation. At the same time, the Trump administration has launched TrumpRx, a new prescription drug discount platform that promises savings but faces scrutiny over its scope and real-world impact.We also examine new polling showing declining confidence in flu, COVID-19, and MMR vaccines, and the growing legal battle over changes to the federal childhood vaccine schedule. With public trust, regulatory rigor, and patient access all in play, this episode breaks down what these headlines mean for patients — and why clarity and credible science matter more than ever.

In this special episode of Your Week with St. Luke's, Pastor Jad launches the Lenten series called Crossroads with a reflection on Matthew 4:1–11, where Jesus faces temptation in the wilderness. Framed as “Love 101: Resisting False Power,” the episode explores how Jesus, freshly named God's beloved Son at his baptism, is tested not in his identity but in what that identity means. Drawing connections to Israel's wilderness story, Pastor Jad unpacks three temptations: self-sufficiency, spectacle, and compromise, and shows how each invites Jesus to misuse power for self-protection, self-validation, or control. Instead, Jesus chooses trust, faithful dependence, and wholehearted allegiance to God. Listeners are invited to see Lent not as punishment but as formation, a season to notice where we grasp for control and to practice small, intentional acts of trust that reflect the way of love.

Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA spitball on the "when" of five retirement decisions, today on Your Money, Your Wealth podcast number 569.

David calls himself an "elderly orphan," flying solo at 66 and in need of a plan to protect his million-dollar portfolio as he ages. BB and Shell are trying to time their final year of retirement contributions to save as much as possible before moving to a lower-tax state. Should they go Roth IRA or traditional?

In this episode, we break down the current state of NBA All-Star Weekend and ask the big question: Is the league's midseason showcase still thriving, or is it slowly losing its spark? From the Dunk Contest to the All-Star Game's competitiveness, we analyze whether the NBA can recapture the intensity and star power that once made this weekend untouchable.Next, we dive into the ripple effects of the NBA Trade Deadline. Which contenders truly improved? Who mortgaged their future? And which franchises played it safe when they should've gone all-in? We evaluate the biggest moves and what they mean for the playoff race.Finally, we shift to college football and discuss Trinidad Chambliss returning to the University of Mississippi for another year with the Ole Miss Rebels football.

This podcast has been chugging away for six years, which is a lifetime in the world of podcasting. First as "The May Lee Show" when Covid-19 was raging and Anti-Asian hate was exploding. Then the show evolved into "Shoes Off Inside" with May Lee, Kelly Hu and Tamlyn Tomita. The trio of bold, outspoken and entertaining Asian American women did what they do best...speak openly and honestly about anything and everything. In this unusual episode, May is solo and speaks from the heart about the past six years and if, perhaps, this may be a time to pivot. What better time to contemplate big decisions than the Year of the Fire Horse, which calls for courage, clarity and forward motion.

County clerks still need to verify the signatures, and as of Friday morning, only 88,948 had been validated, leaving a significant gap to close. The effort must also meet district‑level thresholds, while some voters have requested to have their names removed. What happens next will determine whether Utah’s anti‑gerrymandering law returns to voters. Taylor Morgan, Partner at Morgan May Affairs and Executive Director of Count My Vote, walks through what's next in the process.

In this episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, Laurel Boivin and Laurel Holland explore the deeply human—and often painful—habit of comparing ourselves to others. Together, they unpack how comparison is a mental activity rooted in storytelling, beliefs, and self-awareness, and how it can quietly shape our emotions, confidence, and life choices.Rather than treating comparison as something to eliminate entirely, the Laurels invite listeners to transform it, from a source of self-doubt to a pathway toward clarity, purpose, and self-trust. Through reflection, curiosity, and intentional inner work, comparison becomes information rather than judgment, and an invitation to create a life that truly fits you.In this episode, you'll hear:Why comparison creates emotional pain and how it subtly shapes our inner worldHow the stories and beliefs beneath comparison reinforce self-doubtWhat self-awareness makes possible when you notice comparison patternsHow to shift comparison from judgment into clarity, choice, and purposeJournaling prompts suggested to further your exploration: When do I most notice myself comparing to others, and what seems to trigger it?What story am I telling myself when I'm in comparison—and what belief might be underneath that story?Is comparison bringing me closer to the life I want, or getting in the way?
