//The Wire//1800Z June 23, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: DETAILS CLARIFY SEQUENCE OF EVENTS REGARDING YESTERDAYS SHOOTING IN MONTREAL. ISRAELI FORCES CONTINUE ADVANCE NORTHWARD IN LEBANON. MASS SHOOTING REPORTED AT CALIFORNIA LIBRARY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Lebanon: Overnight Israeli forces continued their advance toward Ali al-Taher further extending their salient northward. Several airstrikes were reported throughout the area as the IDF advanced into Hezbollah-held terrain, which prompted Hezbollah to repel the advance, which in turn resulting in more airstrikes from the IDF.Strait of Hormuz: Commercial maritime traffic has continued, however so far the total number of ships transiting the waterway has remained sharply reduced compared to pre-war levels; a couple of dozen ships have transited daily since the MOU was signed, which is less than the 100+ ships that transited before the war. Analyst Comment: The traffic has continued despite the Iranian threats to close the Strait, though maritime shipping companies are still trying to figure out the logistics of how this is going to work out. So far, the Iranian "toll" route to the north is the only route being used right now, though the Iranians have waived the fee for the 60-day period in which the final peace deal is being worked out. However, all merchant vessels are now required to obtain a permit from the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), the new Iranian entity that is controlling access to the Gulf.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Demonstrations and vandalism attempts have continued on the National Mall, as Pro-Algae activists have remained at the site of the reflecting pool renovation project. So far, a handful of people have been arrested for trying to tamper with the reflecting pool in various ways, and the National Guard has stepped up foot patrols in the area in response.California: Yesterday afternoon a mass shooting was reported at the Butte County Library in Chico. One gunman entered the library shortly after 5:00pm local time, and began shooting visitors inside. Police immediately responded to the facility, and the shooter was apprehended in a wooded area immediately outside the library as the security cordon was established. Concerning casualties, the library was mostly empty at the time of the shooting, however two people were killed and one child was wounded by the shooter during the attack. Analyst Comment: The suspect has been identified as Bradley Scott Sayer, who reportedly lived in Chico. Sayer allegedly made statements after being arrested, claiming that he attempted to carry out a massacre at the library reminiscent of previous mass shootings.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Canada, more information has come to light regarding the attempted mass shooting yesterday. The sequence of events remains uncertain, however the investigation has revealed that much of the information the responders were making decisions on in the heat of the moment, was actually erroneous.The initial details of a shooter being on foot in the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood do not appear to be true, nor were the initial claims of the gunman being inside the grocery store, and it is not clear as to why police were observed at either location. The shooter was actually located inside an improvised firing position inside a hotel room at the Hilton Garden Inn. From this position, he began firing at the corporate office building across the street.The target of this shooting was the headquarters building for Aylo...a "software company" which is actually the parent company for websites hosting "adult" content. The assailant began the attack by shooting through his hotel room window, into the corporate office building. After firing an unknown number of rounds, the shooter exited the hotel, and ran up and down Av. de Courtrai searching for targets (which is possibly the reason for the police initially thinking the shooter was in the grocery store). Eyewitness statements during the fog of war are not the most accurate, and pinpointing the shooter's whereabouts after departing the hotel is challenging, and at this point reports emerged of a second possible shooter being located in the same area (which turned out to be false). Eventually, the shooter attempted to make entry to the Aylo building, but was unable to do so before police spotted the shooter and the final skirmish began.Concerning the victims, the man who was accidentally shot by police at the entrance to the Aylo building has been identified as Michael Moshe Mizrahi, an Israeli citizen and local Rabbi for the heavily-Jewish community that surrounds the site of the shooting. Last night, Montreal Police identified the officer that was killed as Officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane. The status of the female officer who was wounded remains unclear, though some sources claim that she remains in critical condition at a hospital. Regarding the shooter, the suspect has been identified as Seth Hatfield, and a manifesto was allegedly sent to various media groups right around the time of the attack. The manifesto itself is a little long for these types of documents at 104 pages long, and despite the first page of the document widely circulating social media (and thus attributing motive), nearly the entire document is promoting Communism and encouraging violent revolution, which seems to be the predominant motivation for the attack.More details are expected as the investigation continues, and special focus will likely be placed on clarifying the details of what led to the initial police response being observed so far from the actual shooting site, as well as what actually transpired within the hotel, and on the street between the initial first shots, and the final engagement. Another unresolved detail is any coordination or prior-knowledge of the attack by any co-conspirators. The shooter's manifesto specifically mentions other works and writings by the shooter, which presumably had an audience of probably more than just the shooter himself. Based on the writings of the assailant, he clearly thought of himself as an academic, and wrote extensively on various pro-Communist ideas. As such, figuring out whether or not this individual acted alone will be a focal point moving forward.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

A wildfire is threatening the town of Lytton, B.C. Sixty homes were evacuated Friday, and conditions ideal for a fire to grow quickly. The community is still trying to recover from a fast moving wildfire that roared through the village five years ago that left much of the community destroyed.Also: Tensions between Iran and the U.S. over the Strait of Hormuz are threatening to derail an interim deal to end the fighting. Both sides are making conflicting claims about the status of the strategic waterway. Iran says it's closed the strait because of Israeli strikes in Lebanon that killed at least 20 people. But talks to formalize the deal appear to be going ahead.And: Almost three decades ago, a plane carrying medical supplies crashed onto the sea ice at Davis Inlet, an Island off the northeast coast of Labrador.

Deworm every animal every time, and pretty soon the dewormer stops working. On this Extension Office Friday edition of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael is back on the Zooms with Elizabeth Mullins Baldwin (Page County Extension agent) and Cynthia Fairbanks (Warren County Extension agent) to talk about herd health for the region's growing population of small-ruminant producers — and a hands-on FAMACHA certification workshop coming up at the Warren County Fairgrounds on Saturday, July 11th. The conversation starts with a friendly reality check for anyone thinking about getting into sheep or goats — yes, they're a great entry point into farming, but also yes, "do your homework before you go to the sale" is the single best piece of advice the Extension office can give. Then Cynthia and Elizabeth walk through what FAMACHA actually is — a science-based, color-card system developed in 1990s South Africa by Dr. Faffa Malan that helps producers decide which animals actually need deworming and which don't, based on real-time signs of anemia from the barber pole worm. The result: less money wasted on dewormer, less resistance built up in parasites, and healthier animals. Workshop attendees get hands-on practice, a FAMACHA certification, fecal egg count demonstrations, and the science-backed answers to all the "but I heard you can just feed them a Christmas tree" home remedies floating around. EVENT DETAILS — FAMACHA CERTIFICATION WORKSHOP Saturday, July 11, 2026 • 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM Warren County Fairgrounds • $30 per person (flat fee, regardless of farm size) • Breakfast included • Open to producers from any county • Pre-registration required WHAT YOU'LL LEARN AND LEAVE WITH • FAMACHA certification (with certificate) • Hands-on practice scoring real sheep and goats with the FAMACHA color card • Demonstration of proper fecal sample collection (Elizabeth) • Live microscope demo of fecal egg counts (a powerful tool for measuring dewormer resistance) • Science-based review of internal and external parasites common in Virginia • A look at popular herbal/home remedies — and which ones research actually supports • Direct Q&A with Extension agents WHO IT'S FOR • Current sheep and goat producers • New producers building up their first herd • Anyone considering sheep or goats in the future who wants to know what they're getting into • Camelid (llama and alpaca) owners — newly included this year • Producers concerned about dewormer resistance and rising input costs HOW TO REGISTER • Online registration - click here or get the flyer here. • In person at your local Extension office (cash or check) • By phone — call either Extension office directly A NOTE ON FAMACHA FAMACHA was developed in South Africa in the early 1990s by veterinarian Dr. Faffa Malan, in response to widespread blanket deworming that was creating costly dewormer-resistant parasites. The system uses a color card matched to the eye mucous membrane of the animal to score anemia on a 1-5 scale — a real-time, non-invasive proxy for packed cell volume (red blood cell concentration). It's specifically designed to detect the effects of the barber pole worm (Haemonchus contortus), the most common and damaging internal parasite for small ruminants in the southeastern United States. The goal: only deworm animals that actually need it, preserve the effectiveness of the few approved dewormers we still have, and save producers money in the process.

Wer als blinder oder sehbehinderter Mensch Windows nutzt, kommt ohne Screenreader nicht weit. Diese Software liest Bildschirminhalte aus und gibt sie als Sprache oder Braille-Ausgabe weiter. NVDA, die Open-Source-Alternative aus Australien, hat gegenüber JAWS in den letzten Jahren erheblich aufgeholt und ist kostenlos, portabel und auf älterer Hardware lauffähig. Was teils noch fehlt ist eine breitere Verankerung in Deutschland, bessere Braille-Unterstützung und mehr Know-how bei Anwenderinnen und Anwendern. Genau hier setzt das Projekt "NVDA nachhaltig" an. Rainer Brell vom Berufsförderungswerk Würzburg erklärt, wie das dreijährige Projekt NVDA gezielt weiterentwickeln und in der Fläche stärken will. Im Gespräch geht es u. a. um neue Add-ons wie das Blackout-Tool zur Demonstration für Sehende, geplante Braille-Zeilentreiber für ältere Geräte, eine Excel-Erweiterung sowie das neue Format HAWAII, in dem erfahrene Anwender ihr Wissen weitergeben. In weiteren Interviews mit NV Access und Vispero werfen wir unter anderem auch einen Blick auf die künftige Rolle von KI bei Screenreadern und kommende neue Funktionen in JAWS und NVDA.

Nächste Woche treffen sich im französischen Evian die Staatschefs der G7-Staaten, also der sieben wichtigsten Industrienationen der Welt. Das hat auch Auswirkungen auf die Schweiz: Evian liegt direkt an der Schweizer Grenze. Für Genf bedeutet das Treffen vor allem eines: Stress vor einer Demonstration gegen den G7-Gipfel. Bereits 2003, als das Treffen zuletzt in Evian stattfand, kam es in Genf zu grossen Demonstrationen mit über 100'000 Teilnehmenden. Diese Demonstration und ihre Folgen haben sich tief ins Gedächtnis der Genfer Bevölkerung und Behörden eingeprägt. Die Bewertungen der damaligen Proteste gehen – je nach politischer Haltung – weit auseinander. Mehr als 20 Jahre später sorgt der bevorstehende Gipfel erneut für Unruhe in Genf. Während konservative Stimmen Proteste und Ausschreitungen befürchten, kritisieren progressive Kreise die Organisation der Demonstration als willkürlich. Wie reagiert Genf auf den anstehenden Gipfel? Was ist von den Protesten zu erwarten? Und wie blicken Menschen darauf, die schon 2003 dabei waren? Das erzählt Romandie-Korrespondent Benno Tuchschmid in einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos». Er ist nach Genf gereist und hat mit Personen gesprochen, die bereits 2003 dabei waren und auch dieses Jahr wieder teilnehmen wollen.

The Living Connection Between Word and Spirit In this episode of For Zion's Sake, hosts Shelley and June Volk—Jewish believers dedicated to seeing Jew and Gentile become one in faith—explore the deep, structural connection between the written Word of God and the active presence of the Holy Spirit. Key Takeaways The Anchor Verse (John 6:63): The episode centers on Jesus' declaration: "It is the Spirit who gives life... the words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life." The hosts emphasize that without the Holy Spirit, scripture remains a dead letter; with the Spirit, it becomes an active, life-giving force. The Spirit as God’s Heart-Revealer: Reading from 1 Corinthians 2, June points out that just as no one knows a person's inner motives except their own spirit, no one can truly know the thoughts and heart of God except the Spirit of God. She notes that born-again believers have this "Spirit of truth" living within them to guide daily life and bring personal transformation. Demonstration of Power (1 Corinthians 2:1–5): Shelley highlights the Apostle Paul’s approach to preaching, noting that Paul didn't rely on superior human intellect or persuasive words of wisdom. Instead, his message was a direct demonstration of the Spirit and power, ensuring that listeners' faith rested on God rather than human philosophy. A Multi-Generational Promise: Turning to the Old Testament covenant in Isaiah 59:21, the hosts discuss God's promise that His Spirit and Words will not depart from His people or their descendants. June shares a personal family testimony, tracing how this promise came alive in their own lives—from their radical conversion in 1976 to seeing their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren actively living out the faith. The Spirit Precedes the Word: Shelley looks back at Genesis 1 to show a divine pattern: the Spirit of God moved over the face of the waters before God spoke light into existence. He connects this to the New Testament (Acts 4 and Acts 13), where believers were first filled with the Holy Spirit before they could speak the Word of God with boldness. Shelly has served the body of Christ as a Pastor for over 35 years. He is a bible teacher and conference speaker on the subjects of The Kingdom of God, The Mystery of Israel & The Church and for God’s people to be prepared in their hearts for the end of this age. https://shellyandjunevolk.com/Support the show: https://shellyandjunevolk.com/product/partner-with-us-psalm-127-fund/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before she commanded the Snowbirds, Maryse Carmichael was a young Air Cadet from Quebec City with a dream of becoming a military pilot. That dream would eventually make her the first woman to fly with the Snowbirds - and the first woman to fly with any jet aerobatic demonstration team in the world.In Part 1, Maryse shares her journey through Air Cadets, flight training in Moose Jaw, instructional flying on the CT-114 Tutor, operational flying with 434 Squadron, VIP operations with 412 Squadron, and serving in Bagotville during the post-9/11 years. Along the way she discusses Exercise RV92, flying with her brother, supporting the Prime Minister, and the experiences that shaped her leadership philosophy.Maryse also reflects on earning a position with the Snowbirds, learning precision formation aerobatics, flying formation inverted, and eventually returning to command 431 Air Demonstration Squadron. It is a story of perseverance, trust, leadership, and one of the most remarkable careers in Canadian military aviation.CONTINUE THE FLIGHTMaryse mentioned our interview with Jamie Speiser-Blanchet.

A guide to diagnosing, imaging, and managing acute renal colic and nephrolithiasis in the ED. Hosts: Brian Gilberti, MD Avir Mitra, MD https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Nephrolithiasis.mp3 Download Leave a Comment Tags: Kidney Stones, Urology Show Notes 1. CLINICAL CORE & PHYSIOLOGIC FRAMEWORK Epidemiologic Risk Profiles Lifetime incidence parameters hover around 1 in 11, presenting with a prominent male sex skew. Peak demographic manifestation concentrated within the 30–60 age band. High-yield temporal parameter: 50% recurrence vector within a 5-year post-initial-insult window. Mineralogical Composition Vectors Calcium oxalate crystals represent the predominant structural matrix. Struvite configurations (magnesium ammonium phosphate matrix) account for 1–2% of cohorts. Struvite stones function explicitly as infection-driven configurations secondary to upper tract proliferation; higher distribution index noted in female cohorts. Etiological & Modifiable Relational Dynamics Profound systemic dehydration or low baseline fluid throughput states. High-sodium diet structures and heavy animal-protein consumption loads. Positive genetic/familial history variables. Relative risk modulation: Each variable independently operates to expand baseline risk by a factor of 2x to 3x. Pathophysiologic Symptom Complexes Acute, sudden-onset, maximum-intensity (10/10) unilateral flank pain. Classic structural radiation vector tracking downward toward the ipsilateral groin/genitourinary dermatomes. Distinctive behavioral marker: Renal colic pacing/writhing behavior with zero antalgic position availability. Concomitant autonomic triggers: Nausea and emesis manifest in 50% of acute presentations. Physical Exam Discordance Metrics Severe subjective distress contrasted with a characteristically soft, completely non-tender abdominal palpation exam. CVA tenderness is completely variable and lacks reliable negative predictive value. Atypical Presentation Classifications Vague, poorly localized abdominal pain presentations occurring in up to 20% of active cases. Isolated lower urinary tract irritative signs including acute frequency or severe urgency. Incidental & Asymptomatic Dynamics Silent intrarenal or ureteral stones found incidentally. Longitudinal tracking demonstrates up to 33.3% of initially asymptomatic cohorts convert to fully symptomatic renal colic within a multi-year tracking window. 2. EXCLUSION DIAGNOSES & CRITICAL PATHWAY RED FLAGS Vascular Mimics: AAA rupture/expansion. This is a mandatory exclusion pathway in elderly cohorts presenting with acute flank or back pain. Physical tracking requires active exploration for an expansile, pulsatile abdominal mass. Gynecologic Emergencies: Ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Demands universal screening protocols via rapid beta-hCG testing in all female patients of childbearing potential presenting with lower abdominal/pelvic localization. Infectious Upper Tract Decompensation: Acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis. Differentiated via persistent high spikes, high fevers, systemic shaking chills, and profound pyuria. Genitourinary Structural Crises: Acute testicular torsion. Mandates a thorough, explicit scrotal/testicular structural exam if the flank pain radiates into the scrotum. Gastrointestinal and Adnexal Torsional Confounds: Acute appendicitis variants, acute mesenteric/bowel ischemia, and ovarian torsion syndromes. 3. LABORATORY TESTING & PHYSIOLOGIC EVALUATION Urinalysis Interpretation Nuances Microscopic or gross hematuria presents in approximately 66% to 90% of acute cases. Critical Pathological Caveat: Complete absence of hematuria documented in 20% to 33.3% of confirmed, acute obstructing ureteral stones. Diagnostic rule: A pristine urinalysis with zero red blood cells is entirely insufficient to exclude acute ureterolithiasis. Urinary pH as a Composition Clue Consistently low urinary pH parameters (pH < 5.5) point strongly toward a uric acid crystalline composition. Elevated urinary pH parameters (pH > 7.5) indicate the presence of urease-producing microbial pathogens, pointing toward a struvite infection stone. Infectious Screening Metrics Active tracking for marked pyuria, positive leukocyte esterase, and bacterial nitrites to rule out an obstructed, infected upper urinary tract system. BMP Immediate quantification of baseline serum creatinine to establish accurate eGFR values. Targeting detection of post-renal AKI from bilateral obstruction, unilateral obstruction in a single functioning kidney, or severe volume depletion. CBC Evaluation for marked leukocytosis. Physiologic Nuance: Mild-to-moderate white blood cell count elevations frequently represent non-specific stress demargination driven by severe pain and repetitive vomiting. High-grade white blood cell shifts demand immediate exclusion of systemic bacteremia or an infected, obstructed urinary system. Adjunctive Lab Pathways Rapid qualitative urine hCG testing. Reflex urine culture execution whenever urinalysis metrics display significant inflammatory profiles or clinical suspicion of UTI is high. 4. IMAGING MODALITIES & ALGORITHMIC CLINICAL SELECTION Non-Contrast CT Diagnostics Gold standard; diagnostic sensitivity and specificity parameters exceed 95% for stones >2 mm. Provides precise quantification of stone diameter (mm), exact localization (proximal, mid, or distal ureter), and degree of secondary hydronephrosis. Excellent structural visualization for detecting or ruling out alternate retroperitoneal, vascular, or intra-abdominal pathologies. Contrast-Enhanced CT Protocols Indicated when alternative intra-abdominal surgical pathology is highly suspected over isolated renal colic. Retains diagnostic capability to identify urinary tract stones >3 mm even within contrast-enhanced phases. NCCT Structural Architecture Limitations Standard stone protocol CT scans are executed in a prone position without IV contrast enhancement. It does not opacify the ureteral lumen. Presents a cumulative radiation exposure penalty when utilized serially across recurrent ED presentations. POCUS / Radiology Ultrasound Direct stone visualization capabilities are modest, operating at approximately 50% to 60% sensitivity, and is highly dependent on anatomical positioning at the extreme proximal ureter or the UVJ. Secondary obstruction tracking: Demonstration of hydronephrosis operates at a high sensitivity of approximately 80%. POCUS Clinical Utility Metrics Eliminates ionizing radiation exposure and allows immediate, rapid real-time execution directly at the patient’s bedside. Confirmation of significant hydronephrosis within a classic clinical presentation yields high post-test probability for stone presence while lowering suspicion for vascular catastrophes like a AAA. KUB Radiography Extremely poor overall diagnostic sensitivity, hovering around 57%. Fails to image radiolucent configurations (pure uric acid matrices) or small stones measuring
Show Notes: Lana Newishy, founder of Hey Intake, explains that Hey Intake is one of several startups she has founded, which focuses on improving the client experience in the initial stages of a project. The Client Intake Process Lana highlights common issues in the client intake process, such as disorganized communication, missing information, and inefficient discovery calls. She emphasizes the loss of opportunities due to inefficient intake processes and the need for a structured system. Lead Qualification and Filtering Issues Lana discusses the broken lead qualification process, where consultants often react to discovery calls without proper filtering. She points out information asymmetry, where clients don't know what to share, and consultants don't ask the right questions consistently. Streamlining the Intake Process Lana mentions the fragmentation of tools, such as emails, documents, CRM systems, and file sharing, which are not connected in a single flow. She introduces the idea of a single, structured flow from first contact to service completion to streamline the intake process. A Demonstration of Hey Intake Lana shares her screen to demonstrate the Hey Intake dashboard, which includes tabs for dashboard, submissions, contacts, form builder, email templates, automations, analytics, team settings, and support. Dashboard Lana explains the AI-driven suggestions on the dashboard, which prioritize tasks based on the current stage of the intake process. Submissions Window She demonstrates the submissions window, which categorizes submissions into lead phase, intake phase, and service phase, and provides AI scores for prioritization. Lana continues to explain the submissions window, showing how submissions are scored and prioritized based on AI analysis. Submissions Drawer She demonstrates the submission drawer, which allows users to update the phase of a contact, request documents, and send e-signatures. Lana mentions the form builder, which allows users to create custom forms with various templates and fields. She explains the flexibility of adding fields, customizing inputs, and setting AI scoring weights to prioritize requests. Integrating with CRM Systems Lana discusses the ability to integrate Hey Intake with existing CRM systems and legal project management tools. She explains that some clients prefer to keep their existing systems and connect them with Hey Intake for a seamless process. Form Builder When asked about the form builder, Lana demonstrates how to create and customize forms, including adding fields, customizing branding, and setting up automations. She highlights the importance of keeping forms simple and quick to fill out to avoid discouraging potential clients. Email Templates Library Email Templates Library Lana demonstrates the email templates library, which includes pre-built templates and the ability to edit them manually or with AI. She emphasizes the flexibility of the system to meet the specific needs of different clients and businesses. Automations Tab Lana introduces the automations tab, which shows the flows for various actions, such as sending emails, requesting documents, and following up on actions. She explains how to set up custom automations and toggle them on and off. The Vendor Setup System Lana explains how Hey Intake helps with vendor setup, including requesting documents, managing client portals, and handling e-signatures. Uploading Documents She demonstrates the process of uploading documents for e-signatures and integrating with services like DocuSign and SignWell. Lana highlights the native storage options and the ability to connect with clients' private storage facilities. She emphasizes the importance of streamlining the onboarding process to save time and reduce administrative burdens. Hey Intake Customer Base Lana discusses the current customer base, which includes law firms, accountants, photographers, home renovators, and B2B consultants. She mentions the potential to focus on specific verticals in the future based on data collection and user feedback. The conversation turns to the development process, and Lana explains that she has a development team based in Canada that helps build B2B AI-based solutions. Lana highlights the structured validation process and the importance of a framework for successful development and launch.

Party Statement | 12 May 2026 The fragility of Anglo-French imperialism is revealed when it's compelled to violently quash a peaceful anti-imperialist march and arrest local and international demonstrators. The brutal actions of the Kenyan comprador regime, operating on behalf of their Anglo-French masters, reflects their fear and fragility in the face of growing international working class solidarity. If the ruling class can no longer tolerate even peaceful political opposition, it reveals its paper tiger reality and suggests the time for the workers of the world to unite to defeat our imperial enslavers is upon us. ---------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

In late February 2026, dozens of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse and their supporters gathered for a demonstration at the former Zorro Ranch, the sprawling New Mexico property once owned by Epstein, to demand action and transparency from authorities. The demonstrators, many identifying themselves as victims or allies of survivors, stood outside the ranch grounds and held signs and chants calling attention to alleged abuses that they say occurred there and urging state officials to pursue a thorough investigation into what happened on the property under Epstein's ownership. The protest underscored deep frustration with past investigations and a belief that justice has been delayed and incomplete.Security personnel, including armed private guards, were present at the site during the protest and monitored the gathering, reflecting the sensitive nature of the event and the high emotions involved. Participants emphasized that their presence was not just symbolic — many survivors spoke publicly about abuses they endured and stressed that the renewed state inquiry and “truth commission” into alleged activities at the ranch must lead to accountability, healing, and answers for victims. The demonstration came amid broader political and legal pressure in New Mexico for deeper review of Epstein's activities and for unsealed documents to be fully examined.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'There were victims': Protesters at former Epstein ranch demand action | Local News | santafenewmexican.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

5.19.26 | "From Private Revelation To Public Demonstration" | Evangelist Kerry Jones by The Rock Church of Fort Myers
Talking is easy now. Anybody can say anything, anytime, and keep the conversation going forever. But action is different. It takes time, effort, and real commitment. In this episode, I explain why demonstration ends arguments. When I take action, I don't need to prove anything with words because the result speaks for me. People who can actually make things happen don't sit around debating, they just move and create outcomes. Show Notes: [04:39]#1 Argument seeks validation while demonstration creates consequence. [10:46]#2 Arguments invite interpretation. Demonstration removes interpretation. [16:15]#3 Arguments consume energy. Demonstration compounds energy. [18:12] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent. It is a measurable standard. If your results don't match your ability, you are not lacking information—you are lacking execution reliability. The Execution Reliability Index (ERI) identifies exactly where your discipline breaks, where your standards drop, and where your results are leaking. This is not theory. This is a system.

Show Notes: Zsigmond Fajth is a McKinsey alum and co-founder of Gridd, a company that provides templates for the AI era, specifically for consultants. Zsigmond explains that Gridd is designed for independent consultants, leveraging his experience at McKinsey where he modernized client communication tools. Introducing Gridd Zsigmond mentions the creation of McKinsey's PowerPoint toolbar and the Pyramid add-in, which helped consultants create interactive presentations. He discusses the transition from traditional templates to AI-driven templates, aiming to serve a broader audience beyond McKinsey. Gridd's AI Templates Zsigmond describes Gridd's AI templates as having flexible layouts that auto-expand as content is added, solving issues with static PowerPoint templates. The templates include embedded AI prompts that can be copied and pasted into various AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot. He explains that the templates are designed to accommodate content in a format that can be easily integrated into the AI tools. Gridd's Basic Setup Zsigmond demonstrates both the flexible layouts and the integration with AI tools. He shows the template library, which includes 260 templates covering various use cases like boxes, matrices, process flows, funnels, pyramids, and charts. The templates are designed to look like best practice consulting charts, with 60 charts being traditional Microsoft charts and the rest in a special format. Gridd's Special Formats Zsigmond highlights the special format, which includes elements like tables with blue boxes and sub-headers, typical of consulting slides. Gridd has a variety of templates, including frameworks, text, shapes, and quantitative info charts like column charts, bar charts, and waterfall charts. Adding Rows Gridd's Flexible Layouts Zsigmond demonstrates how to insert a new page with a Gridd element, add columns or rows, and resize elements to maintain alignment. The flexible layouts allow for quick edits without manual alignment, saving time and effort. He shows how to add additional levels to a pyramid framework and delete levels as needed, making it easy to adjust the structure. The auto-expanding capability saves templates by allowing them to accommodate more content without creating multiple versions. Expanding Copy and Paste Gridd Integration with AI Tools Zsigmond explains the process of using Gridd's custom prompts with AI tools like ChatGPT to generate content for the templates. The custom prompts include instructions on the layout and content format, ensuring the AI generates content that fits the template. Rearranging Columns Generating and Integrating Prompts Zsigmond demonstrates how to copy the prompt, paste it into ChatGPT, and specify the source of information to generate an executive summary. Using AI Prompt The generated content is then copied and pasted back into the Gridd template, which formats it automatically. Paste Prompt in ChatGPT Zsigmond contrasts Gridd's approach with traditional templates, which overdetermine output or require manual edits that are time-consuming. Paste into Gridd Gridd's approach allows for quick algorithmic edits, making it faster and more reliable to add or modify content than always using AI. The built-in prompts ensure consistent output and reduce the need for long and token-intensive layout generation. Zsigmond demonstrates how to modify existing templates to specify dimensions and content, making it easier to generate accurate and detailed pages. Gridd Pricing Packages Zsigmond outlines the pricing packages for Grid templates, including a free trial, an essentials package, and a full template package. The free trial includes the add-in and 23 templates, allowing users to test the tool without commitment. The essentials package, priced at $69, includes 60 layouts and is available with lifetime access. The full package, priced at $269, includes 260 layouts and 60 charts, also with lifetime access. All packages come with a 30 days satisfaction guarantee. Zsigmond mentions a launch promotion offering 33% off for Unleashed listeners, bringing the prices down to $49 for the essentials and $169 for the full package.

Show Notes: Scarlett Jiang from Vantage AI, an AI product and services firm based in London, provides a one-minute overview of Vantage AI, highlighting their focus on data foundations and AI transformation. Vantage AI helps companies consolidate data from various systems into a single source of truth. Scarlett mentions the firm's experience with hospitality franchise clients, such as Burger King, KFC, and McDonald's. Mock Demo of Chatbot Scarlett introduces a mock demo of a chatbot designed for hospitality franchise owners. The chatbot can handle real-time queries about sales data, labor costs, and other key metrics. Scarlett explains the process of using the chatbot to query data, including translating natural language questions into SQL, which means users do not need to know SQL. Custom Dashboard Scarlett introduces the custom dashboard with data intelligence analyst chatbot functionality, allowing users to query via human natural language and retrieve insights from pre-ingested data warehouses. Sales Performance The chatbot can provide summaries of sales performance, labor data, and other operational metrics. Sales Performance Rank Scarlett shows how the chatbot can handle more complex queries, e.g.: If I had to focus on 3 stores to improve performance this quarter, which would you recommend and why? (chatbot showcase the capability to synthesize sales, reviews, and trend data into recommended action) Performance Graph The chatbot can provide detailed insights into top and bottom performers, including specific metrics like net sales and transaction counts. Scarlett discusses the benefits of using a chatbot for specific questions, rather than pre-built dashboards. The chatbot can also provide reasoning behind its answers, showing the steps it takes to generate insights. The Process of Building AI Tools Scarlett explains the process of building AI tools, starting with a diagnostic phase to understand the client's data journey and use cases. After the diagnostic, a strategic roadmap is created to prioritize use cases. A quick prototype is then developed, followed by data foundation transformation. The process can range from a few days to several months, depending on the complexity and scope of the project. Accounts Payable Month-end Reconciliation Demo Scarlett demonstrates a workflow automation tool for account payable month-end reconciliation. Accounts Payable Reconciliation This demo presents a finance use case built around month-end accounts payable reconciliation - a process every finance team navigates. Supplier invoice data sits across two systems: the AP subledger, which holds granular invoice-level detail, and the general ledger control account, which carries a single summary balance that should match. In practice, the two rarely align - late-posted invoices and manual journal entries that bypass the subledger are the most common culprits. This demo showcases an AI agent that pulls data from both sources, identifies and reconciles the gap automatically; and surfaces discrepancies to human reviewers for sign-off or overwrite - eliminating hours of manual investigation at close. Converting PDF Purchase Orders into CSV Files Scarlett demonstrates a tool that converts PDF purchase orders into CSV files. Snowflake Tables The tool extracts key information from the PDF, such as contract terms, payment schedules, and expenditures. The tool can transform the extracted data into a chart format for easier analysis. Reconciliation Report Payment Breakdown The tool is designed to automate the process of working with large amounts of unstructured data, reducing manual effort. Cost and Development Time Scarlett discusses the cost and development time for AI tools, noting that prototypes can be developed quickly. The bulk of the work involves data cleaning, ingestion, and transformation to ensure data accuracy. The development time can range from a few days to several months, depending on the complexity and scope of the project. The cost varies based on the specific requirements and the level of automation needed.
