I hope that you hear this message that there is a safe and compassionate option awaiting you.""The surrender would need to take place at a designated safe haven facility. And the baby would need to be surrendered to a staff member of that facility. So mom cannot pull up to the facility in her car and place the baby and a baby carrier on the sidewalk."Show Notes by Barevalue.No content or comments made in any TIPQC Healthy Mom Healthy Baby Podcast is intended to be comprehensive or medical advice.

AI isn't just a software story, it's a power story, a controls story, and a “how do we actually build this stuff” story. After the EPC show in Houston, I sit down with Dennis Ganson from Schneider Electric to unpack what's changing in industrial automation and energy, and how you can stay useful as the pace picks up.Dennis shares his career path from West Point and the US Army into GE Energy, field service, project leadership, and strategic sales, eventually landing in process automation. We talk about what he leads at Schneider Electric across the Foxboro and Triconex world, and why process automation and discrete automation are different in practice even when customers need both. If you've ever felt boxed into one niche, this conversation makes the case for learning laterally and building a strong technical network.We also dig into what we heard at EPC: data center buildouts, utility constraints, gas turbine bottlenecks, and the craft labor shortage that no spreadsheet can wish away. Then we bring it back to technology, how modern control systems unlock more plant data, why that changes predictive maintenance and optimization, and what “software-defined automation” and truly open architecture can mean when supply chains get messy.If you're navigating DCS vs PLC decisions, tracking AI infrastructure demand, or just trying to understand where automation is headed next, you'll leave with clearer mental models and better questions to ask.

In this Meaningful Money Q&A (Episode 58), Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer six real listener questions on the money decisions facing UK savers and investors. We cover paying off your mortgage versus investing, gifting surplus income to manage care fees and inheritance tax, and how to buy capital gains tax-free gold. We also explore consolidating pensions before retirement and how LGPS members can weigh up AVCs versus ISAs and AVCs versus APCs. Tune in for clear, practical UK personal finance, pensions and retirement planning guidance - education, not advice. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA58    02:18  Question 1 Hi team Been listening for ages and having a psychological meltdown over this. I have approx £20k in my S&S ISA and £20k left on my mortgage.  How can I justify the decision to pull the trigger and pay it off?  Note that I also have £30k approx in a cash ISA and £5k float easy access.  I also overpay the mortgage about £800-£1k per month but that's eased off the last few months, with the money diverted to an early year getaway. I'm aware there isn't a perfect result or conclusion but I'm struggling to get past how to make the decision. In context, I do have a big holiday coming up later in the year (£5k-9k expected spend), but I'm itching to pay this off and get regular investing. It might be that writing this email I'm working it out for myself but I'd be keen to hear your thoughts (not advice!) on how I can think about the situation or other angles maybe I'm not thinking about. Michael 07:33  Question 2 Hi Pete, Roger & Nick, Many thanks for your podcasts.  Listening to you has been a part of my weekly habits for several years and I feel that you have been a "gateway" which has helped me to get a better grip on my future.   Thanks a lot! My question is how much to put aside for care fees when compared with potential IHT liability.  Specifically whether to advise my mum to gift her future surplus income instead of investing in her ISA? Mum is 88, and in reasonably good health. She has £330k in a S&S ISA, £50k premium bonds and owns her property worth £600k. Mum's  monthly spending is £500, her monthly income (from pensions) is £2k.  Leaving mum with surplus income of £1.5k per month. Mum already makes gifts of £100 per month to her two grandchildren from her surplus income and uses her annual gift exemption of £3k per annum. I have LPA (F&A & H&W) for mum.   It is important to me that I treat mum and her finances with respect and stay focussed on mums needs (rather than that of me and my immediate family).  As such I have been transferring mums surplus income into her S&S ISA each quarter, so that Mum has enough money to do whatever she wants to do. I am wondering what is the point in continuing to put more money into mums ISA when she has more money than she needs already. Mum is widowed; has no desire to travel abroad; make any changes to the house; buy a new car or similar.   Mums immediate financial needs are met via her pension income.   Therefore aside from potential care home fees I wonder what is the point in continuing to boost Mums investments via the ISA. Assuming care home (nursing home) fees of £2k per week equates to £104k per annum.   It seems to me that Mum has over 3 years of fees covered before she would need to sell her house. I am an only child and executor for mums will.  Currently mum has left her estate to me in her will.   Mum says she "doesn't want her hard earned money going to the tax man".   My concern is that if Mum's S&S ISA continues to grow then her estate will be subject to IHT when she dies, unless of course the money is eaten up with care fees. With this in mind I wonder whether to advise mum that her future surplus income should be gifted rather than invested. What are your thoughts? Many thanks for your excellent work! Kind regards, The Rusholme Ruffian 14:37 Question 3 Hello Pete and Roger (no d!) Great podcast! I hope all the good karma you give out comes back to you! Quick and short question: I am aware some physical gold holdings are subject to CGT but some, such as gold sovereigns and Royal mint bullion are exempt. So are there CGT exempt gold holdings that one can buy and keep in a GIA to sell later CGT free? Many thanks and keep going! Adam 16:52 Question 4 Hi Pete, Hi Rog My son put me onto your podcast some time ago and I've been working through the back catalogue from 2019 and am currently up to 2023. I have also bought the Retirement Guide book and plan to join the Academy later this year.  Like everyone else, I wish I'd found this years ago!  But hey ho, we are where we are. I'm 57 and plan to retire next year.  My wife gave up work to look after our children and so apart from state pension all our pension funds are those I've been able to accumulate through my various jobs.  I have 4 pensions - 1 DB and 3 DC.  One of the DCs is in drawdown as I had to withdraw the tax free element a couple of years ago for reasons I won't go into (but I was careful not to trigger the MPAA).   I now work in Financial Services and you won't believe the Compliance hoops I would have to get through to change out of the default pension funds and likewise consolidation of the DC pensions - that will have to wait until I actually retire. Having listened to so many episodes, I have loads of questions but the ones spinning through my head the most are:- 1. Can I consolidate a DC in drawdown with my virgin, untouched DCs and does it matter if I wait until I retire to do so? If yes, how would that be presented to me by the provider. 2. With investments all in one person's name, is there anyway that imbalance can be addressed? For example, what options are there to make use of tax allowances which my wife may have to minimise tax. Is it possible to transfer some of my pension to my wife? - I suspect not. Do we need separate cash pots (in case of death of one of us)? 3. In the Home Straight season and in the book you list a number of questions to ask DC providers. Are there any questions I should be asking my DB provider? even if they are just the practicalities. Thanks again for the podcasts and guidance.  Say Hello to Cornwall for me - I'm sure we'll be visiting Fowey more often when do retire.  (Don't suppose you or Roger can recommend a book on the history of Cornwall?) Mark 24:30 Question 5 Hi Pete and Roger, I'm in my early 50s and only now feel like I'm reaching a stage where I have some financial breathing space, but it has also triggered panic that I may be behind and need to make the most of the next 8–10 years. For context, I was a single mother for 24 years. During much of that time I worked part-time on a relatively low salary while contributing to the LGPS. My children have now left home and over the last eight years I returned to full-time work and progressed professionally. I'm now earning just above the higher-rate tax threshold at £62,000. Over the last eight years I have aggressively focused on becoming debt free and paid my mortgage off last year. I currently: - contribute 8.5% into LGPS (part final salary part CARE) - Just opened an AVC £550 per month cost to me - Just opened a stocks and shares investment platform where I can comfortably afford upto £250 per month - save £600 per month into a cash ISA for flexibility/emergency funds - currently hold around £20k in cash isa savings I would ideally like the option to retire around 60, perhaps gradually rather than stopping work completely overnight. My question is: Given my relatively late start to focused financial planning (and lack of understanding) am I broadly approaching this in the right way, and what else should someone in my position be considering over the next decade to build a secure but flexible retirement? I'd also be interested in your thoughts on balancing AVCs versus ISAs at this stage of life, and whether people like me should focus more on flexibility or maximum pension accumulation. Thank you, I've just found your podcast and will be listening help reduce some of the fear around pensions and investments I have. Regards, Lotty 32:12  Question 6 Hi Pete and Roger I'm loving the podcast and it has really helped focus my mind and be more intentional about my finances, having not really saved or invested for the first 40 years of my life. I am a relatively low earner with a salary of £30,000, which means I can only afford to commit around £200 a month for savings and investments, but I do save anything left over at the end of the month too. I could look for a higher paid role, but my current job gives me a lot of flexibility including mostly home working and because I have worked in local government for 20 years I get very good sickness and redundancy benefits, as well as a defined benefit pension which I have been paying into from the start of my employment. This will guarantee me my final salary on retirement, although that assumes I work until 68, which is longer than I want to ideally. [ALARM!} I have built up an emergency fund of 1 month salary and will try and get that to 2 months, but with my sickness and redundancy benefits I don't feel I necessarily need the 3-6 months which is recommended by many. I also have a stocks and shares ISA which I am hoping to build up and not spend until retirement, with the plan of using it to bridge the gap before I draw on my pension. I am now considering making additional contributions to my pension and have two options available to me. One is to make Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) via the Prudential and the other is Additional Pension Contributions (APCs) through the scheme itself. With AVCs my employer will pay in with me, but they don't with APCs. With my employer paying in with me that makes me wonder if AVCs may be a better option. Alternatively, as I don't have much money to put in I may keep my pension contributions as they are and focus on my stocks and shares ISA. I know you can't tell me which route to take, but I am interested in your thoughts and perhaps there are some questions I should be putting to my pension provider to give me more clarity. Apologies for the length of the question.

What happens when a foster family gets a phone call that three siblings need a safe place to stay immediately? What if they don't have the supplies - like shoes, car seats, or clothing - that they need? Anthony Poteet has been through this process, and he recognized that foster care parents need a strong support system to help provide some integral items to smooth this transition. Therefore, he founded the Foster Families Assistance Network. He is the executive director of this incredible organization, which works hard to provide the items to foster families taking in kids who have been in a state of in-between, bouncing from home to home, in a chaotic world driven by the coldness of a clinical state system. Parents need to bond with these kids immediately after they arrive, not worry about getting supplies. TAKEAWAYS Once a child is in state custody, they are essentially being parented by the government State child welfare workers, like CPS or DCS, can rush the process of placing a child in a home, causing chaos and trauma as a result Foster Families Assistance Network has a resource center in Henderson, Tennessee, that provides critical items for foster families There is a shortage of foster homes and a shortage of competent workers in the state system

Multiplex starts just passed tower starts in Toronto for the first time. Condos have stalled, and the big builders aren't structured to build on tight low-rise sites, while most GCs can't properly analyze them. That gap is the whole opportunity.

Send us Fan MailDevelopment Charges Explained: Why They Rose, What Went Wrong, and What DC Relief Means for HousingIn this episode, Payam discusses development charges (DCs) as one-time fees on new developments intended to fund growth-related municipal infrastructure such as roads, transit, water, parks, libraries, and emergency services, noting the costs are often passed through to end users. He argues DCs became unsustainably front-loaded as market conditions worsened, using the “beer distribution game” to explain how reasonable decisions across the system can create unreasonable outcomes due to timing lags between long-term infrastructure planning and upfront project financing. He outlines reasons DCs rose—larger capital programs, higher land and construction costs, bylaw changes, and annual indexing—and highlights Toronto's unique transit-heavy DC structure, with about 60% directed to mobility. He cites Toronto DCs rising from about $11,700 in 2010 to over $137,000 in 2024, indexing paused for 2025–26, Bill 23 exemptions, and a 2026 federal-provincial program incentivizing 30–50%+ reductions; Toronto plans 40–60% cuts (2026–29) supported by $1.5B. He says reductions help viability (CMHC estimates ~5% viability lift at 50–60%) but won't be a silver bullet, and raises concerns about replacing lost municipal funding and the need for broader, less DC-reliant infrastructure financing.Development Charges ExplainedWho Really Pays DCsBeer Game AnalogyTiming Mismatch ProblemWhy DCs SkyrocketedToronto Transit FactorNumbers and IndexingLegislative Changes and ReliefWill DC Cuts Restart HousingMunicipal PushbackBetter Funding AlternativesFor more information, please refer to RealEstateDevelopmentInsights.comTake our Free Assessment at: DevelopmentReadinessAssessment.com

Episode Summary For thirty years, neonatal nurse practitioner Tara Sundem watched newborns go through opioid withdrawal under bright lights, separated from their mothers, and for a long time she believed those mothers had brought it on themselves. Then she learned what she had been missing, and she set out to build the opposite of what she had been part of. As co-founder and executive director of Hushabye Nursery in Phoenix, she now cares for substance-exposed babies and their mothers together, treating the two as one patient. She talks with host Micaela Tracy about the night a baby in withdrawal changed her mind, why dignity is a clinical intervention and not a nicety, how she partners with the Department of Child Safety instead of against it, and what families navigating addiction and recovery actually need. Her message holds for anyone who has ever judged a parent from the outside: this is a brain disease, not a choice, and the earliest moments of a child's life can shape everything that follows.
