In this March 4 convo with Helena Cobban, the veteran U.S. diplomatist Amb. Chas W. Freeman, Jr.  assessed Iran's objectives in the defensive war it is now waging in response to the massive Israeli-U.S. aggression of February 28, and its likelihood of achieving them.He also assessed a range of other topics including the impact that Iran's actions is having on economies around the world; the policies adopted by various European government; the possible and likely impact of the war on U.S. domestic politics; and the effects the Israeli-U.S. aggression is having on global institutions.This conversation is the sixth in JWE's ongoing "Iran Crisis" series, which is a follow-on to the "Gaza, and the World" project that we launched in Fall 2025.

Interview with Colin Healey, CEO of Premier American Uranium Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/premier-american-uranium-tsxvpur-advances-towards-pea-studies-for-235-mlbs-uranium-resource-7900Recording date: 1st March 2026Premier American Uranium enters 2026 in a structurally improved position relative to the prior year, with financing secured, ETF-driven selling pressure resolved, and a clearly articulated operational roadmap. For investors evaluating junior uranium developers, the company now presents a more defined catalyst calendar and capital structure than it did through most of 2025.The company's flagship Cebolleta project in New Mexico anchors the investment case. A 2025 preliminary economic assessment outlined a single-source uranium operation producing approximately 1.4 million pounds per year over a 13-year mine life. The base-case after-tax net present value (NPV) was estimated at $84 million, based on an 80% uranium recovery assumption. That recovery rate now represents the central lever for potential value creation in 2026.Management has initiated a metallurgical test work program designed to determine whether recovery can be increased to 90%. The projected economic impact is significant: at 90% recovery, after-tax NPV is estimated at $159 million, implying a $75 million increase relative to the base case. The cost of this metallurgical program is approximately $1 million, including drilling and laboratory analysis. If results confirm the higher recovery rate, a revised PEA is expected in late 2026 or early 2027.From a capital markets perspective, the resolution of the URNM ETF rebalancing is equally important. In 2025, a change in minimum free float requirements triggered forced selling across several uranium equities, including Premier American Uranium. That selling was completed by December 2025. The company subsequently closed an upsized $15 million bought deal financing, providing sufficient capital to execute its planned 2026 programs without near-term dilution risk.In addition to Cebolleta, the Kaycee project in Wyoming provides an in-situ recovery (ISR) exploration pipeline. A substantial drill program was conducted in 2025, and further drilling is expected in 2026. While earlier results were not optimally disseminated due to concurrent corporate transactions, management anticipates more consistent news flow this year.Strategically, the company remains focused exclusively on U.S.-based assets. This geographic concentration aligns with broader federal efforts to reduce reliance on imported uranium, as the United States currently produces less than 5% of the uranium required for its civil nuclear fleet. While direct upstream subsidies remain limited, regulatory reforms aimed at streamlining permitting could benefit domestic developers over time.At a market capitalization of approximately C$90 million, the company trades at a level that does not fully reflect the potential NPV uplift at Cebolleta, nor does it attribute material value to the Kaycee exploration pipeline. The central investment question for 2026 is therefore execution: whether metallurgical testing confirms improved recovery and whether operational milestones are met on schedule.For investors comfortable with commodity price volatility, permitting timelines, and development-stage technical risk, Premier American Uranium offers a clearly defined catalyst framework and a capital-efficient pathway to potential valuation expansion over the next 12 to 18 months.View Premier American Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/premier-american-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Ephesians 5:3-14 with Pastor Greg Denham

In this episode of Excess Returns, we sit down with Cullen Roche to discuss his new book Your Perfect Portfolio and the deeper principles behind building a portfolio that actually fits your life. Rather than starting with asset allocation models or return forecasts, Cullen reframes investing around risk, time horizons, and lifetime consumption. We explore how to think about stocks, bonds, factor investing, international diversification, private assets, inflation hedges, and more through the lens of financial planning and asset liability matching. This is a practical, wide ranging conversation about portfolio construction, behavioral risk, and how investors can align their investments with real world goals.Main topics covered:Why you are a saver, not an investor, and why that distinction mattersDefining risk as uncertainty of lifetime consumptionThe temporal conundrum and matching investments to time horizonsHuman capital as your most important asset and how it impacts portfolio riskThe pros and cons of a 100 percent stock allocationRethinking the 60 40 portfolio after inflation and rising ratesInternational diversification and valuation differences between US and global marketsFactor investing as a time horizon tool rather than an alpha strategyThe forward cap portfolio and skating to where the market cap puck is goingInflation protection strategies including stocks, TIPS, gold, and the permanent portfolioRisk parity and the tradeoff between diversification and returnCountercyclical rebalancing and managing behavioral riskPrivate equity, venture capital, and the illiquidity premiumDefined duration investing and asset liability matching for individual investorsThe real impact of inflation, taxes, and fees on long term returnsTimestamps:00:00 Risk as lifetime consumption and asset liability matching01:03 Introduction to Your Perfect Portfolio05:25 You are a saver, not an investor08:24 Defining risk and uncertainty of lifetime consumption10:15 The temporal conundrum and time horizons12:38 Using past performance and forecasting responsibly15:00 Human capital and portfolio construction17:12 The case for a 100 percent stock allocation19:50 Rethinking the 60 40 portfolio24:00 Adding international diversification29:43 Factor investing across time horizons35:00 The forward cap portfolio concept38:27 Inflation hedges and the permanent portfolio42:27 Risk parity explained44:49 Countercyclical rebalancing47:17 Private assets and illiquidity51:25 Defined duration strategy and Discipline Funds ETFs56:00 Real returns after inflation, taxes, and feesIf you are interested in portfolio construction, asset allocation, financial planning, factor investing, inflation protection, or building a long term investment strategy that matches your goals, this conversation offers a thoughtful framework for thinking differently about risk and returns.

And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image,     in the image of God he created him;     male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been released under investigation after spending approximately 11 hours in police custody, but the inquiry into alleged misconduct in public office is widening. Arrested shortly after 8am at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate, he was later photographed reclining in the back seat of a vehicle as he left Aylsham Police Station — an image already being described as emblematic of the day. Release under investigation means no bail conditions and no charges, but police retain the power to recall or rearrest him at any time.Officers have continued searches at Royal Lodge in Windsor, cataloguing seized materials as part of what legal experts describe as a complex, potentially long-running investigation. The maximum sentence for misconduct in public office is life imprisonment.King Charles  maintained public engagements, including London Fashion Week, despite criticism over optics. US President Donald Trump called the situation “very sad,” while royal commentators described the moment as the worst nightmare for the monarchy.

Leading international law firm, Addleshaw Goddard, launched its Investors in Energy: Ireland Report at its Ireland's Energy Market Outlook event at the Westbury, bringing together key decision-makers to explore trends and investment opportunities across the Irish energy sector. The event was attended by Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley, T.D., alongside more than 100 senior representatives from across the industry, who examined the critical need for deeper stakeholder collaboration to unlock Ireland's renewable energy potential. The report examines how Ireland can build on its strong renewable momentum while tackling the practical challenges that shape the pace of new infrastructure delivery. Drawing on insights from across the energy sector, it explores the balance between strong renewable growth, rising electricity demand, and the power system's capacity to absorb this and deliver in light of recent, significant investment decisions. Acceleration of Solar The report highlights that Ireland's renewable energy transition has shown signs of acceleration in recent years, particularly in solar, which has expanded from almost zero capacity to in excess of 2GW in under four years. Strong policy ambition and sustained investor appetite continue to support this growth. However, it finds that delivery capacity, not ambition, is now the defining constraint. Grid limitations, planning challenges, and long lead times for major infrastructure projects are slowing the pace at which renewable projects can move from the development stage to operation. Offshore wind is currently hindered by planning challenges, with the first phase of offshore wind projects only likely to be delivered post 2030. Speaking at the launch event, Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley, T.D., said: "Ireland has made significant strides in scaling renewable energy, particularly in onshore wind and solar. The next phase of our energy transition will hinge on ensuring that infrastructure delivery, planning processes and regulatory systems keep pace with the supportive policy and the investment environment we've put in place for renewables in Ireland. At Government level, we are addressing these challenges through the introduction of the Critical Infrastructure Bill and Emergency Powers Bill, both currently being progressed, in order to support and accelerate sustained growth in the years ahead." Sustaining the Energy Transition Despite these constraints, the report identifies a broad and investable pipeline of opportunities across the Irish energy market. Rapid solar deployment continues to attract strong levels of capital, while emerging opportunities in battery storage, grid stability services, biomethane, and private power solutions are gaining momentum. Rising electricity demand is reshaping how energy is generated, stored, and supplied, accelerating interest in flexible delivery models such as behind-the-meter generation and future private wire connections. Launching the report, Gavin Blake, Partner, Head of Energy & Infrastructure at Addleshaw Goddard Ireland, said: "Ireland's opportunity is shaped not by demand or capital, but by how effectively delivery is coordinated across the system. Grid capacity, planning complexity and infrastructure sequencing are now the critical factors determining how quickly projects can be built and brought online. The positive story is that Ireland has already proven it can scale renewables at pace. The next phase is about making that growth dependable and aligned with rising demand through greater stakeholder coordination." Immediate Focus The report concludes that closer coordination between the Government, regulators, and industry will be critical to sustaining progress. Aligning infrastructure investment with demand growth, rather than forcing outcomes against system limits, will be essential to maintaining investor conf...

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's character creation lesson begins with basic geometry, escalates into psychic powers, and somehow ends with a pacifist circus bear being seriously considered as a build option. In this episode, we take the gloves off and actually make characters for Pulp Cthulhu—choosing archetypes, rolling stats, hoarding skill points like goblins, and discovering that if you roll too well, you might accidentally invent the world's first telepathic himbo artist. If you've ever wondered how Call of Cthulhu character creation becomes fast, fun, and dangerously powerful, this is where the pulp really starts to flow. The D8 goes in the D8 hole. Show Notes This episode walks step-by-step through Pulp Cthulhu character creation, showing how investigators are built to be tougher, broader, and far more cinematic than their classic Call of Cthulhu counterparts. Ash guides Tyler and Randall through the full process—then breaks it down into a Quick & Dirty method that can get players to the table in minutes. Step 1: Choose an Archetype Archetypes replace traditional "classes" and are rooted in classic pulp fiction roles: Mystic (psychic powers, occult insight, vibes) Egghead (engineers, scientists, gadgeteers) Two-Fisted, Swashbuckler, Femme Fatale, Bon Vivant, and more Each archetype: Defines a core characteristic Grants bonus archetype skills Suggests traits, occupations, and story hooks This approach encourages concept-first design, letting the character idea drive the mechanics instead of the other way around. Step 2: Generate Characteristics Attributes are rolled using the familiar D100 roll-under system, but with a key twist: Core characteristic = 1d6 + 13 × 5 (expect very high numbers) Other stats use 3d6×5 or 2d6+6×5 High pulp means exceptional competence The result? Characters who feel powerful immediately—sometimes too powerful, leading to delightful accidents like rolling: Incredible Power Solid looks Questionable intelligence (Yes, the "himbo build" is real.) Step 3: Talents (High Pulp Edition) Because this game is running High Pulp, characters receive four talents instead of two. Talents are drawn from four categories: Physical Mental Combat Miscellaneous Highlights from the episode include: Psychic Powers Arcane Insight Weird Science Animal Companion (responsibly downgraded from "bear" to "bear-adjacent dog") Talents dramatically define how characters play and reinforce pulp action over fragile realism. Step 4: Occupation & Skill Points Occupations grant massive skill point pools, often hundreds of points: Skills start with base percentages Occupational skills come first Archetype skills add another 100 points Personal interest skills add even more The result is wide, competent characters instead of hyper-specialized glass cannons. The episode includes practical advice: Avoid pushing every skill to 95 Aim for flexibility, not just peak numbers Remember Credit Rating is mandatory and matters in play Step 5: Backstory (Fast but Meaningful) Instead of long essays, Pulp Cthulhu uses structured prompts: Personal description (biased, first-person) Ideology and beliefs Significant people Treasured possessions Traits Random tables spark instant character hooks, like: Idolizing Nikola Tesla Carrying calipers as a grounding object Shared trauma bonds Risk-taking or unreliable personalities One key backstory element becomes your Sanity anchor, helping characters recover from mental trauma. Quick & Dirty Character Creation Ash closes the episode with a streamlined alternative: Assign preset stat values Pick talents Select skills from fixed arrays Roll backstory details Start playing immediately Perfect for one-shots, convention play, or groups eager to punch cultists now, not in two hours. Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu character creation is fast, flexible, and cinematic Archetypes replace classes with strong narrative identity High Pulp characters start powerful and stay relevant Talents are the heart of customization Skill points are plentiful—breadth is rewarded Structured backstory tools create instant roleplay hooks The Quick & Dirty method gets you playing in minutes Yes, you can accidentally build a psychic himbo—and that's a feature Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

**Trad Wife. Boss Babe. Stay-at-Home Mom. Career Woman.** Why does the internet insist women must choose sides? In this episode, we slow the conversation way down and explore the evolution of the *“trad wife”*—from the 1950s homemaker, to the Superwoman era, to today's deeply nuanced, choice-driven lives women are actually living. This is **not** a debate and **not** an attack on either path. It's a real, lived conversation about: * Why homemaking and child-rearing are often viewed as “less than” * How feminism expanded choice… and sometimes created new pressure * The exhaustion of “doing it all” * The return of the trad wife—and why it looks very different today * Career, caregiving, creativity, money, autonomy, and respect * How to design a life that aligns with *your* values—not social media labels I also share my personal story after decades as a pilot wife, stay-at-home mom, entrepreneur, and what I now call a **“rad wife”**—forging my own path without losing identity, autonomy, or ambition. If you're navigating: * Marriage or partnership expectations * Career vs. home (or blending both) * Money dynamics and independence * Motherhood, identity, and fulfillment * Or simply feeling judged for your choices This episode is for you. ✨ **Inside the episode, you'll also hear:** * How to start honest conversations with your current or future spouse * How to define your priorities (and revisit them as life changes) * Why routines, flexibility, and creativity matter more than labels * How to ignore outside noise without burning bridges At the end of the day, success belongs to the woman who lives life on **her own terms**.

1/29/26 - Thursday Touchdown, What defines a successful deadline for the Pistons? Two Grand Slam, Dear Jon

What does it really mean for God to be good when life is painful? In this episode, we walk through the story of Job to challenge our assumptions about what “good” looks like and who gets to define it. Rather than measuring God's goodness by our circumstances, we are reminded that God is always good, and He uses even the hardest moments to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him.

Dr. Lassiter works in private psychotherapy practice and provides culturally relevant care for marginalized professionals. He is part of the mere 1% of Black male psychologists in the country. His memoir makes the case for better cultural representation in the therapy field and defines the theory of the “whiteness mindset.”  Dr. Lassiter says that he's always been curious about why people do the things they do, and this led him to pursue a career in education followed by a psychotherapy practice. He describes his upbringing and the isolation and microaggressions he experienced in his graduate studies and clinical settings. He noticed that though the clinics he worked in were serving Black and Latinx clients, the vast majority of the therapists were white. And while working in the VA hospital in Indianapolis, he was the only Black male therapist. At that time, he read Toni Morrison's Playing in the Dark: Whiteness in the Literary Imagination and went on to write a corollary essay, “Whiteness in the Psychological Imagination,” that became the seed of his current book.  In How I Know White People are Crazy and Other Stories, Dr. Lassiter uses diagnostic criteria to define “the whiteness mindset” as a way of thinking and being that values materialism, competition, and individualism, which all promote oppression. It's a “distress producing phenomena” that hurts everyone and is making white people sick, he says. They also discuss other concepts in psychology, like “post traumatic slave syndrome” and “black fatigue,” and how Christianity becomes a weapon, especially when it comes to sexuality. Dr. Lassiter says he wants marginalized people, the global majority, to understand that they're not the problem. His future work will focus on the Afro-centric and Indigenous psychologies as pathways to better, more healthy futures. Dr. Jonathan Mathias Lassiter is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City specializing in culturally informed mental health care for Black, POC, and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. With a passion to use his Ph.D.for the culture, he serves as a therapist, scientist, educator, author, mental health columnist, on-air mental health expert, and international public speaker. Dr. Lassiter has appeared in such outlets as NBC, PBS, Forbes, Huff Post, Radio NewZealand, SiriusXM, iHeart Radio, and more. Follow Dr. Lassiter on all social media platforms at @lassiterhealth.

There are powerful cards in Legacy.There are cards that define decks.And then there are cards that shape the entire format.In this episode of Eternal Durdles, we break down Orcish Bowmasters — not as just another strong card, but as a format-defining force that dictates how Legacy decks are built, sequenced, and played.Bowmasters doesn't counter spells.It doesn't tax mana.Instead, it punishes one of Legacy's most fundamental behaviors: drawing cards.We explore:Why draw effects become liabilities in a Bowmasters formatHow Brainstorm, Ponder, and card selection are fundamentally alteredWhy Bowmasters doesn't actually check the best Brainstorm decksHow asymmetrical hate narrows deck diversity instead of broadening itWhy slower blue and midrange decks are squeezed outHow Bowmasters incentivizes speed, redundancy, and linear strategiesWhy even decks not playing Bowmasters must still play around itThe difference between a strong card and a format dictatorWhether Bowmasters is a necessary correction — or a step toward homogenizationWhether you love Orcish Bowmasters or hate it, one thing is clear:Legacy revolves around it.Let us know in the comments — does Orcish Bowmasters improve Legacy, or make it worse?

All leaders-to-be face a pivotal moment where they cross over from being a valuable individual contributor to taking on the mantle of leadership. That leadership role might be informal or formal, but either way it is a quantum leap in impact. Our guest is Rob Marcus, CEO of Blue Stallion Leadership and US Army Bronze Star veteran from from Fredericksburg, VA. Across military, civilian, and personal challenges, Rob has made the leap to leader and helped hundreds of others do so with courage, clarity, and accountability. In this episode, Rob shares insights from his career journey from pizza parlors to youth sports to military counter insurgency operations. He also gives a preview of practical tactics from his book, "Crossing the Divide" that can help early career folks make that transition for themselves and/or later career leaders help others make that leap with less frustration and delays. Rob describes how often our initial solutions to problems may get the immediate job done, but don't often scale. As a leader progresses in their breadth of responsibility, its important to expand our thinking two to three steps ahead. It's also important to consider both the bottom line aspects and the humanity to make it stick and persistent across multiple team members and customer experiences. Key takeaways: Recognizing when you are approaching the leadership divide so you can navigate it better on your terms Not letting perfection block you from starting your leadership journey Critical thinking factors to consider to maintain clarity and empathy under pressure Navigating the 5 challenges that come with leadership role changes: Skill Development, Peer Relationship Dynamics, Increased Responsibilities, Team Dynamics, and Identity Transition.

https://teachhoops.com/ The philosophy of "You Are What You Teach" serves as the ultimate accountability mirror for a basketball coach, suggesting that a team's performance on Friday night is a direct reflection of the coach's priorities from Monday through Thursday. If your team consistently struggles with turnovers or poor defensive rotations, it is often a sign that those specific areas are not being emphasized with enough clarity or intensity during practice. In the heart of the January grind, it is easy to blame a lack of talent or "bad luck," but elite coaches look at their practice plans first. By acknowledging that your team's identity is forged in the drills you choose and the habits you allow, you empower yourself to make the necessary corrections to turn the season around. This principle also extends to the "soft skills" and cultural standards of your program, such as effort, resilience, and communication. If you demand a "tough" team but spend your practice time in non-contact, stagnant drills, you are sending a conflicting message. To be a "defensive-first" program, your practice schedule must reflect that by dedicating the first 45 minutes to high-intensity containment and rotation work. You must "teach" the energy you want to see by modeling it yourself—using concise, urgent language and refusing to settle for anything less than game-speed execution. When the coaching staff's actions align perfectly with their instructions, the players develop a deep sense of trust and a clear understanding of what it takes to win. Finally, "You Are What You Teach" is about the long-term legacy you build within your community. Your players will eventually forget the specific sets you ran, but they will never forget the standards of excellence and the work ethic you instilled in them. As you navigate the postseason, your team's ability to stay focused under pressure is a testament to the "mental reps" and situational coaching you provided throughout the winter. By utilizing TeachHoops member calls and AI-driven practice audits, you can ensure that your teaching remains modern, efficient, and impactful. Ultimately, your program's reputation is built on the daily habits you cultivate; when you teach with passion, precision, and purpose, you create a culture that succeeds long after the final buzzer sounds.

 VIKING AS ACTIVITY: THE NORSE EXPANSION WESTWARD Colleague Martyn Whittock. Whittock defines "Viking" as an activity of enterprise and raiding, not just an ethnicity. He explains that disruptions in the Islamic silver trade and population growth drove Norse expansion westward. This movement eventually reached the British Isles, Iceland, and Greenland, setting the stage for voyages to North America. NUMBER 1

THE RETURN OF THE NOBLE MONARCH Colleague Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley argues that the world has reached "peak republicanism," where republics have become inefficient political battlegrounds. He defines nobility not as a class structure, but as a quality of honorable leadership that embodies the state's values. Copley suggests modern monarchies, like that of King Charles III, are reinvigorating this role by acting as apolitical symbols of unity and diplomacy, unlike elected leaders who only represent their voters.
