Legacy systems work. So why do companies waste millions rewriting them? In this episode of Arguing Agile, Product Manager Nisha Patel joins Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel for a debate on the dangerous obsession with rewriting legacy systems — from COBOL to green screens — that still power ATMs, government systems, and Fortune 500 billing engines. Watch or listen as we discuss the myth that "modern" equals "better" and reveal how most rewrites fail because they ignore customer value, edge cases, and real ROI as well as other topics, such as:How Chesterton's Fence applies to code (Brian still doesn't know)How Developers kill software with Resume-Driven Development (RDD)How Finance kills software with spreadsheet-driven development (SDD)Why chasing "parity" kills innovationRisk Mitigation, or, framing technical debt in business termsIf you've ever worked on or tried to replace legacy systems, this episode will either give you nightmares, or help how you approach legacy systems while helping you also stop burning budget on vanity projects.#LegacyCode #ProductManagement #AgileCoachingREFERENCESAA148 - An Introduction to Software Development FinancesLINKSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arguingagileSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/362QvYORmtZRKAeTAE57v3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agile-podcast/id1568557596INTRO MUSICToronto Is My BeatBy Whitewolf (Source: https://ccmixter.org/files/whitewolf225/60181)CC BY 4.0 DEED (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en)
This week, in Wallburg, North Carolina, a twisted story unfolds when a seeming fairy tale relationship, between an Irish widower, and his American au pair, ends with bloodshed, lies, and a father/daughter team that stick to their stories, amongst increasingly incriminating facts. A brutal, and planned murder, with the goal of getting custody of the kids that aren't even hers... Or simply self defense, against a man who was becoming increasingly more violent? Along the way, we find out that there are actually a few local festivals that Ludacris isn't booked on, that when you hear 10 lies from someone, there's probably 100 more, and that no one keeps a brick on their nightstand, unless they're up to something!!

Your meetings aren't boring because there are too many; they're boring because they lack drama, structure, and purpose!That's the claim made by Patrick Lencioni's book: Death by Meeting (2004)! Watch or listen as Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel use this book as a guide to discuss why most workplace meetings fail and how to transform them into productive, engaging sessions that people actually want to attend.
Send us a textA forged deed, a ticking clock, and a court that says the fix belongs to lawmakers—this conversation goes deep into how Arizona's property laws shape real lives. We walk through Dominguez v. Dominguez, where a recorded deed alleged to be forged collided with a five‑year statute tied to property tax payments. The result is unsettling: an elderly homeowner can lose title if fraud isn't challenged in time. The concurrence even warns that this reading could become a blueprint for deed thieves. We unpack why the justices still chose restraint, applying the statute as written and pointing the finger at the legislature to close the gap.Then we pivot to Aroca v. Tang Investment, where the court extinguished a deed of trust after the limitations period on the underlying debt expired, rejecting the idea that liens can linger forever. If a lender sleeps on its rights, the lien goes too. That may sting in post‑crash scenarios and for second liens, but it brings certainty to chains of title and aligns with broader policy around timely enforcement. Together, these cases show a consistent philosophy: courts interpret law; lawmakers set policy. If the rules enable deed fraud or crush lenders, the remedy is legislative.We share practical steps you can take now. Homeowners and families can set up county title alerts, keep tight control of original documents, watch tax bills, and get counsel at the first hint of title activity. Lenders can audit dormant notes, calendar deadlines, and streamline enforcement so claims don't die on the vine. And for those who want change, the path is civic, not judicial: advocate for a discovery‑rule fix to forged deeds, stronger notary standards, and better recording notice.If you care about protecting homes, cleaning up title, and keeping courts in their lane, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with someone who owns property in Arizona, and leave a review telling us which outcome you'd change and why.
Expositional style teaching of Romans CH 2:4-11 looking into how the deeds of man no matter how moral or law abiding will never measure up to the righteousness of God. This teaching will take a close look at verse 7 in order to refute a works-based salvation, as well examine two common views that remove potential contradictions. In addition, we will show how the Apostle Paul continues to build a case that will demonstrate that the deeds of man lead to condemnation, absent acknowledging and accepting the ultimate deed of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.
Expositional style teaching of Romans CH 2:12-16 by expounding on each verse as we continue to witness the Apostle Paul challenge any and all deeds associated with man. In this teaching, we will take a dedicated look at what it means to be a doer of the word, as well as show that the conscience state of man has a law within himself that exposes his understanding of good and evil. We will also see that all in Christ Jesus are justified apart from works, while challenging ourselves as the workmanship of Christ to produce good works for His glory. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.

Pastor Peter delivers a stirring message centered on Matthew 4:16, declaring that those dwelling in darkness are now seeing a "great light" as God reveals His greatness through "awesome deeds". He encourages believers to use their limited motivation at the start of the year to seek an unlimited God, moving beyond a season of rest into a movement of the spirit defined by a "bucking bronco promise" that requires hanging onto the Word through the adrenaline of faith. The sermon emphasizes that this light is not just for personal breakthroughs but is regional, transforming the church into a lighthouse that brings a great awakening and a gospel of power to a generation in need. By "marking the moment" and expecting the unexpected, believers are urged to step into a harvest where the darkness cannot overcome the glory of Jesus. To understand this season, think of it like swapping a small flashlight for a massive lighthouse beacon; while the flashlight helps you see your next step, the lighthouse reveals the entire coastline, guiding everyone safely to the shore.

Genuine saving faith produces works in the life of the Christian as they joyfully obey and follow the teachings of Christ.
Returning to Luke 1, Pastor John focuses on Zechariah and Elizabeth. Old and advanced, they appear to have forgotten their prayers for a child. But God never forgets our past prayers. Zechariah knew God's word but struggled even when an angel gave him a promise from the Lord. We can be just like Zechariah but like him we are not forgotten. Instead, we need to learn to trust God and just take Him at His Word. After all, He is always faithful in word and deed.

Can someone truly be saved and show little—or no—fruit? Dr. Michael Easley tackles one of the most misunderstood questions in Christian circles: what fruit actually means in Scripture. Using passages like Matthew 7, John 15, and Galatians 5, Dr. E explains how Jesus' command to “know them by their fruit” applies to false prophets, not to everyday believers struggling to grow.In this episode, you'll learn why assurance of salvation is rooted in Christ's finished work, not in visible performance or moral scorekeeping. Dr. Easley also explores the Lordship Salvation debate, the tension between works and grace, and the danger of “fruit inspection” as a measuring stick for someone's faith.Whether you're wrestling with your own assurance, worried about your children's salvation, or navigating difficult conversations around sin and spiritual growth, this episode brings clarity, comfort, and a biblical foundation for confidence in Christ alone. Key Topics Covered -What Jesus meant by “fruit” in Matthew 7 -How to understand John 15 and the vine metaphor -The fruit of the Spirit vs. fruit inspection -The Lordship Salvation debate (MacArthur vs. Ryrie) -Can a Christian live in sin and still be saved? -How to judge sin without judging salvation -Where true assurance of salvation comes from -Why believers need God's Word, God's Spirit & God's people Chapters 00:00 — Can someone be saved without showing fruit? 01:10 — What Jesus meant by “fruit” in Matthew 7 03:00 — The Lordship Salvation debate 05:00 — Deeds of the flesh vs. fruit of the Spirit 06:20 — Why fruit isn't proof of salvation 08:10 — Judging sin vs. judging salvation 09:45 — Parents, kids, and “proof of salvation” 11:00 — Where assurance actually comes from 12:20 — God's Word, God's Spirit, God's people 14:00 — Final encouragement If you've got a question for Dr. Easley, call or text us your question at 615-281-9694 or email at question@michaelincontext.com.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everybody! Scott Carson here, and today's episode of The Note Closures Show dives deep into a story that's all too familiar in today's market: a real estate deal gone sideways. If you or someone you know is struggling with properties caught in a changing market, plummeting values, or non-performing notes, this is a must-listen. I'll walk you through a recent, real-life situation where "karma" brought an IRA investor and a fix-and-flipper to my doorstep, looking for a way out of a financial quagmire. We're talking about a "shit sandwich" situation, and I'll share how a proactive, empathetic approach can turn it into something much more palatable.In this eye-opening episode, you'll discover:A Real-Life Distressed Deal: Unpack the details of a Plano, Texas property financed by three IRA investors to a fix-and-flipper. With a $280,000 purchase and an estimated $150,000-$170,000 rehab, the flipper walked with $50,000 up front, only for the deal to unravel.The Market Shift Strikes: Learn how rapidly changing market conditions, especially over the last six months in Texas and beyond, caused property values to drop significantly, leaving a gutted, unlivable property with a non-performing note and silent borrower. The note balance stood at $396,000, far exceeding the current market value and potential rehab costs.Scott Carson: The Unlikely Mediator: Hear how a chance encounter (or "karma") linked Scott to both the investor (Harry) and the fix-and-flipper, whom he recognized from past events. Scott steps in as a third-party neutral to facilitate communication and find a pragmatic solution, saving both parties from further, costly pain.The Power of Deed-in-Lieu & Friendly Foreclosure: Explore why a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure or a "friendly foreclosure" where the borrower deeds the property back can be a win-win. This strategy avoids prolonged, expensive legal battles, protects the borrower's record, and allows the lender to regain control of the asset quickly, even if it means accepting less than the full amount owed.Turning Lemons into Lemonade (or a "Shit Sandwich" into Something Tastier): Understand the empathetic approach to these tough situations. Scott emphasizes that bad things happen to good people and that sometimes the best solution is to cut losses, regain control of the asset, and market it strategically (e.g., with pre-approved hard money financing) to recover as much as possible, moving forward instead of being dragged down.This episode is a testament to the fact that even in the toughest real estate scenarios, solutions exist. By prioritizing communication, empathy, and smart legal strategies like Deed-in-Lieu, you can navigate market downturns and distressed assets more effectively. Don't let bad deals linger and drain your resources.If you're facing a similar "shit sandwich" situation with a fix-and-flip gone wrong or a non-performing note, please reach out. I'm here to help, act as that third-party mediator, and leverage my experience to find a solution that works for everyone involved.Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

As a student athlete in Central High School, Tom Singer saw how his African American teammates had very different experiences than he did. This observation fueled his work as an ally in the 1960s civil rights movement. Tom leveraged his law degree to challenge discrimination, filing a case against a local gym that charged African Americans more for memberships, challenged discriminatory treatment against incarcerated Muslims, and many other actions that pushed for real, meaningful change. As Tom looked back on the changes from the 1960s into the 21st century, he saw progress. He also saw a need for more. His story reveals the ongoing struggle for racial justice in South Bend._____This episode mentions a 1963 Testimony on Fair Housing held at the University of Notre Dame.

The rules just got clearer—and the stakes couldn't be higher for families trying to protect a home while qualifying for long-term care. We break down how North Carolina's Medicaid manual now explicitly recognizes Ladybird deeds (life estates with powers), why that matters during the five-year look-back, and how this strategy preserves eligibility without triggering transfer penalties. If you've worried about losing your house to care costs or probate, this is your blueprint for legal protection that holds up under scrutiny.We walk through the core mechanics of a Ladybird deed: the owner keeps full control, including the power to sell, while naming a remainder beneficiary to inherit the property at death. That retained control is the key—because it's not a transfer for less than fair market value, the deed avoids penalties that can derail Medicaid applications. Pair it with the home site exemption and a signed intent to return, and you have a clearer path to eligibility while still protecting the family residence. We discuss how the manual's citations solidify this approach for nursing home care and special assistance, creating consistent guidance across programs.Beyond eligibility, we explore the real benefits for legacy planning: avoiding probate, reducing delays and costs, and keeping equity in the family for children and spouses. Married couples can use this tool on a primary residence, and families with farms or condos can preserve assets that mean more than a balance sheet. We share on-the-ground insights from appeals and client outcomes that helped drive policy clarity, and we explain when to use Ladybird deeds alongside powers of attorney and other planning tools for a comprehensive, resilient plan.If home is your anchor asset, you don't have to choose between care and legacy. Learn how a properly drafted Ladybird deed can protect your equity, streamline inheritance, and meet Medicaid rules with confidence.

What to listen for:Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, welcome veteran USAR handler Bob Deeds, whose journey from compulsion-based training to positive reinforcement transformed both his career and the field itself!His career trajectory spans volunteer search and rescue in the early nineties through Texas Task Force One, where he deployed to the World Trade Center with his partner, Kenzie.The devastating loss of Kenzie in a 2007 training accident nearly ended his career until his friend Sonja Heritage called at 2 AM with a powerful message: quitting meant Kenzie died for nothing.Bob credits Bob Bailey's chicken workshops as the single most transformative experience for his training mechanics. The fast-paced chickens force observational skills development whether trainers want it or not. Those mechanical skills translated directly to his dogs: when his Malinois Remy would nip holes in Bob's shirt from frustration over poor timing, Karen would smile knowingly.The dog was using positive punishment to remind Bob to pay attention to delivery, timing, and curriculum!Now teaching directionals to pet dog owners and planning chicken workshops with Robin in Iowa, Bob teaches that directional control isn't about perfect patterns, but recovery.As handler Shirley Hammond told him after his first FSA certification, disasters aren't perfect, and recovery from mistakes matters most!Key Topics:Transition from Compulsion to Positive Reinforcement Training (01:33)Loss of Partner Kenzie and Nearly Quitting (04:13)Bob Bailey's Chicken Workshops and Mechanical Skills (11:50)Chickens vs. Dogs: Speed, Visual Cues, and Pecking Behavior (17:03)Directional Training Philosophy and Real-World Applications (26:43)Arousal State Management and Food Drive Testing (40:58)Recovery Over Perfection in Disaster Work (46:16)World Trade Center Emergency Stop Example (50:51)Takeaways (53:53) Resources:Chicken Workshops:3/16/26 Option3/23/26 OptionDeeds Canine ConnectionShirley Hammond's Book: Training the Disaster Search DogFenzi Dog Sports AcademyWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

In the shadowed hollows where myth bleeds into memory, the devil's footprints mark the ancient soil of Welsh lore. In this spellbinding episode of Time Between Times with Owen Staton, we journey deep into the dark heart of folklore to uncover the devil's many disguises: the horned tempter lurking at crossroads, the twisted whisper in windswept valleys that chills even the bravest soul, and the monstrous forms born of peasant fear and firelight tales. From cavernous caves beneath Cambrian hills to lonely tracks where lost travellers swear they've heard infernal laughter, Welsh tradition paints the devil not only as a tempter of souls but as a trickster spirit shaping the very landscape of fear itself. This isn't just legend — it's the folklore of shadowed hearts and ancient woods coming alive in the dark between the worlds.In this haunting episode, host Owen Staton welcomes special guest Amy Boucher, an expert folklorist, storyteller, and chronicler of ghostly traditions. Amy brings sharp insight and passion to the underbelly of folklore, illuminating how tales of the devil and otherworldly mischief reflect the fears, morals, and imaginations of communities through time. Together, Owen and Amy weave stories that blur the line between history and myth, revealing how tales of the devil endure in our collective psyche.About our guest: Amy Boucher is the writer and folklorist behind the blog Nearly Knowledgeable History — a trove of curious stories, folklore, and cultural insights.

This passage explains James' teaching that genuine faith is always accompanied by action, not as a means of earning salvation but as evidence of a transformed heart. While Paul addresses legalism by emphasizing salvation through faith alone, James confronts empty belief that produces no fruit. Using examples such as helping the needy, Abraham offering Isaac, and Rahab protecting the spies, the message shows that true faith naturally expresses itself through obedience and love. Ultimately, the point is that faith alone saves, but saving faith is never alone—it is proven by deeds.The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.You can watch our live worship experience online at mygathering.liveVisit our website at https://www.mygathering.churchConnect with us on Social Mediahttps://facebook.com/mgatheringhttps://Instagram.com/mygatheringhttps://Twitter.com/mygatheringGOD | COMMUNITY | PURPOSE

Join the PPM Patreon today:patreon.com/ParaPowerMappingAlso, heads up - because of increasing automated censorship and flagging, I can no longer use music breaks on Spot°fy. To hear eps as originally intended, please listen on the Patreon or Substack.We're picking back up our brief, alternative history of American class violence, the anticommunist apparatus, and anti-syndicalist dynamite false flags, much wider spread than even I would have realized, this time honing in on a number of rhyming, causal & effective deep events rippling down the welded wrought iron links of the anchor chain of history, largely Chicago and Milwaukee concentric sagas of strike action and counterinsurgent reactions by the capitalist powers that be.File today's episode under: the Haymarket Affair; the Bay View Massacre at the North Chicago Rolling Mills steel foundry that left at least seven Polish, German, and Native workers dead the day following the bloodbath in the Windy City; the 8 Hour Work Day movement; the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (FOTLU), precursor to AFL; the snake Samuel Gompers; Milwaukee Central Labor Union socialist Paul Grottkau; Catholic Church Knights of Labor's Robert Shilling; Gov. Rusk; "shoot to kill" orders; Cpt. Treaumer muttering "halt" orders under his breath; the N. Chi Rolling Mills into Illinois Steel Company and then rolled up into US Steel come J.P. Morgan's Carnegie and otherwise monopolistic consolidation; Kosciusko Militia; FOTLU and Gomper's feud with the Knights of Labor; the labor significance of the phrase "amalgamated" (formed of individual craft unions) and what this says about ST protagonist Hicks McTaggart's work as strikebreaking PI for UNamalgamated Ops; Pynchon gets real Hobsbawmian, Gramscian, and Adamic-ian with it; "Haymarket FRAME-UP job"; explicitly references Bay View and Rolling Mills; Debs Rebellion; Pullman Strike; Henry Clay Frick nearly merc-ed by Berkman; the Gov. Steunenberg dynamiting; Big Bill Haywood's framing close shave; James McParland; Harry Orchard's confessions under duress; Pinkerton's; more US Steel; Mine Owners Association; Clarence Darrow; WFM; Wobblies; the McNamara Affair, the LA Times Building Bombing, and brothers J.J. and J.B.; surprise guilty pleas kneecapping the Job Harriman socialist mayoral candidacy in LA; spies catch Darrow bribing jurors?; Propaganda of the Deed comes to Milwaukee... or maybe not; the Italian Evangelical Church; ex-Catholic priest Rev. August Giuliani, MPD and BOI/DOJ informant; rabble rousing in the Third Ward, singing jingoistic songs, proselytizing to Catholics (which they didn't take kindly to from an apostate priest cum Protestant), and offering to pay for any anti-war anarchists or leftists of varying stripes' return tickets to the boot of Italy, all painting a picture of the gadfly pastor acting on behalf of federal law enforcement and local business interests with his troublemaking in the Ward; faced down by anarchists like Maria Nardini; the Bay View Riots, multiple Italian immigrant residents of Cream City killed by officers of the law with false flag violence (Antonio Fornasier and August Marinelli killed in the fray); the Milwaukee Station House Bombing of 1917; the comedy of errors; single deadliest day for law enforcement in American history up until 9/11; the curious lag in MPD response to the bomb's arrival at Giuliani's church; the claim the IMOPIO or infernal machine was anarchist made being sourced from BOI agent Julius Brown and possibly a Milwaukee congressman by way of MPD Capt. John T. Sullivan; the Galleanisti, followers of anarcho-communist Deed-Propagandist and advocate of various nitroglycerin and lead means for affecting change, squarely in the crosshairs; and much much more, breadcrumb trails we'll resume tracing next time.
On the first day of 2026, Minnesota will introduce a new benefit for most workers in the state. It's a paid family and medical leave program that guarantees access to time off to bond with a new child, recuperate from a major medical issue or care for an ill family member. The program replaces a portion of someone's wage for a leave that can span weeks. Minnesota is the 13th state to go down this path, but its program is among the nation's most ambitious. MPR News host and politics editor Brian Bakst talks with his guests about eligibility criteria, how people can tap into the program and what they and their employers need to keep in mind.Guests:Dana Ferguson is a political reporter for MPR News.Greg Norfleet is the Paid Leave director for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, also known as DEED.Justin Terch is a consultant with Terch and Associates, a human resources consulting firm. He is also president of the Minnesota State Council of the Society of Human Resource Management and he serves on the board of Essentia Health, a Duluth-based health care system that operates mainly in rural areas in the upper Midwest. For more information about Minnesota's Paid Leave program, visit: paidleave.mn.gov or call 844-556-0444 or 651-556-7777. The phone lines are staffed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays.
