Rebbe's Insights and directives on the Three Weeks

Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast releases a 2 new episodes every week on Mondays and Wednesdays. Every Monday, we release an episode that is the next lesson of our IFR Online Ground School. Every Wednesday, we release an episode that is the next lesson of our Private Pilot Online Ground School.    We are working our way through both Online Ground Schools for students to listen to ground school for FREE! If you don't want to wait for new podcasts or you don't want to hear ads or course updates, you can join us in our VIP podcast. In order to join the VIP podcast, you must purchase our Online Ground School. When you do, you'll get sent an email invite to the VIP podcast to download and listen on your favorite podcast app, plus all the amazing lifetime features inside our Online Ground Schools (lessons, videos, audio, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, test prep PDFs, grade tracking, digital notes, trained AI instructor chat, 7-day a week email support, online study group, scholarships and more).    The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it.   The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school.    You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive.    This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture.    Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 2000 students take and pass their Private Pilot & IFR exams with only 2 total students failing the written. That's a 99.9% success rate! And the 2 that failed? We refunded their cost of ground school and helped them pass on their second attempt. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more.   Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.    Private Pilot - Section 4 - Lesson #5: In this Free Private Pilot Ground School lesson we go over airworthiness directives or ADs including the different types you might see and what they mean for airworthiness of your aircraft.   Links mentioned in the episode: GIVEAWAY (valid until 7/1/2025):  - Follow @part.time.pilot, @katana_aviation_foundation and @koreheadset   - Comment & Tag a friend in the Giveaway post from 6/21/2025 on Part Time Pilot's Instagram  - Share the post or any other posts from either Part Time Pilot, Katana, or Kore as much as possible ...

Arthur Kroeber is a leading researcher on Chinese tech and macro, a founding partner at Gavekal Dragonomics, and author of "China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know." It's the most useful, detailed resource I've found of how China actually works.On this episode, we discuss how China achieved high-tech manufacturing dominance, and where they'll go from here. By Arthur's account, the Chinese government is like a giant VC fund: they decide on key priorities and then spend hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing ruthless competition at the local level. They are willing to lose huge amounts of money for a few of their bets to pay off: at China's scale, effectiveness matters more than efficiency.There's also a growing bipartisan consensus that we need to combat China's rise. This doesn't make much sense to me. China is a big, powerful country at the frontier in many fields, and its economy is intricately tied in with our own. Being instinctively adversarial is both unsustainable and risky. Arthur and I discuss how we can create a productive, mutually beneficial version of this relationship.Watch on YouTube; listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Sponsors* Scale is building the infrastructure for smarter, safer AI.

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group's podcast, All Things Investigation. In this podcast, host Tom Fox is joined by HHR lawyers Mike DeBernardis and Katherine Taylor about the recent speech by Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ);  his attendant Memo entitled Focus, Fairness, and Efficiency in the Fight Against White-Collar Crime; and the updates to the Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy; and finally the new Memo on Monitors and Monitorships. Key highlights: Is meaningful cooperation credit finally here? Did we move from a presumption of a declination to something stronger or at least more tangible? Is the Kenneth Polite “double secret—we know it when we see it” cooperation requirement now a thing of the past, or at least defined? Enhancements to the Whistleblower Program—Initial Thoughts. Monitors—dead and gone or something else? What, if anything, does this change about the role of corporate compliance today? Resources: Mike DeBernardis Hughes Hubbard & Reed website Katherine Taylor

Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

The Police Minister is reassuring retailers officers will still turn up to reports of shoplifting. RNZ reports staff have been directed to not investigate retail crime below $500 and online fraud below $1000. Police may not take further action if the reports don't have enough evidence, such as CCTV. However, Mark Mitchell told Kerre Woodham every crime deserves a response. He says he wants to be clear that people can't go out and shoplift anything under the value of $500 – there will be a police response, especially if the offender is able to be identified.

One of the many executive orders issued by the Trump administration recently calls on federal agencies to demand getting plaintiffs to put money up when defending lawsuits against them. This is a federal procedure that is in the legal toolbox for them, just now getting more emphasis as the amount of those who have brought suit against agency actions has spiked recently.

A Florida nurse-turned-advocate is fighting to change end-of-life care through legislation.

In this episode, Associate Professor Marta Andhov and Professor Willem Janssen discuss a particularly exciting topic - the upcoming reform of the EU's Public Procurement Directives. They begin by describing the reform's timeline and discussing how it is being affected by the current geopolitical setting. In their discussion, they assess the focal points of the reform, as described by reports of Enrico Letta and Mario Draghi. The speakers then provide their personal opinions, perceptions, and concerns while discussing their key takes from the two reports. These include, among others: the calls for simplification, flexibilization, and a more strategic and inward-looking approach to the European public procurement, the concerns around the enduring low competition, and the lack of focus on green and social aspects of procurement. For dessert, the speakers once again discuss academics, focusing on alternative ways of examination. They evaluate their own experiences with the less typical ways of testing to provide their opinion of how and why they should be used.

The paramount focus of this episode is the recent executive order signed by President Donald Trump, which mandates an investigation into the potential implications of lumber imports on national security. This directive from the White House, aimed at evaluating whether these imports, along with their derivative products such as furniture, pose a significant threat, could lead to the imposition of new tariffs or export controls designed to bolster domestic production capabilities. Furthermore, we delve into the ongoing trade tensions, particularly concerning softwood lumber imports from Canada, which have historically resulted in disputes over unfair subsidies and dumping practices. As the Administration seeks public commentary, it underscores the critical need for industry insights during this pivotal period. Additionally, we explore the ramifications of declining shipping container rates and shifts in consumer behavior, particularly in the context of retail giants like Target, which have experienced marked declines in home furnishing sales amid economic uncertainties. This episode ultimately elucidates the intricate dynamics currently influencing the furniture industry, emphasizing the necessity for stakeholders to remain vigilant and adaptable.Takeaways: The recent executive order signed by President Trump mandates an investigation into lumber imports, which may affect the furniture industry significantly. The proposed investigation into lumber imports could lead to tariffs that strain international trade relations, particularly with Canada. Streamlining the permitting process for timber harvesting on public lands aims to bolster domestic lumber supplies, addressing both economic and environmental concerns. Target's reported decline in home furnishing sales underscores a broader consumer shift towards essential goods amid economic uncertainty and inflation. The acquisition of Bauhaus Furniture by RW Collective illustrates the strategic maneuvers companies are undertaking to sustain domestic manufacturing jobs. Lower shipping container rates may present opportunities for reduced costs, yet they also signal potential weaknesses in the global trade environment.

Watch the Podcast Video on our YouTube Channel Greenwashing is a concern for both businesses and consumers. The proliferation of it in recent years has caused genuine green claims to be treated with an air of caution rather than being rightfully celebrated.  It's become clear that there is a need for transparent and substantiated green claims, both to help consumers and stakeholders to make informed decisions and to ensure that real steps towards sustainability are being taken. Is the upcoming EU Green Claims Directive the answer we've been looking for? In this episode Mel is joined by Charlie Martin, CEO and Founder of The Anti-Greenwash Charter, to discuss the purpose of the EU Green Claims Directive, who it applies to and what it's requirements for substantiation and verification mean in practice. You'll learn ·      What is the purpose of the EU Green Claims Directive? ·      What are the drivers behind this objective? ·      Who is required to comply with the EU Green Claims Directive? ·      What do the requirements for substantiation and verification mean in practice? ·      How will the directive impact the use of carbon offsetting and carbon neutrality claims within the EU?   Resources ·      EU Green Claims Directive ·      Anti-Greenwash Charter ·      How can The Anti-Greenwash Charter can help with the EU Green Claims Directive ·      Green Claims Policy Template ·      Carbonology   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – Charlie Martin joins Mel to discuss the upcoming EU Green Claims Directive, who it applies to and what it's requirements mean in practice. [02:30] What is the purpose of the EU Green Claims Directive?: This directive is a new law, not simply a voluntary scheme that businesses can opt into. It's a regulation that governs all voluntary green or environmental claims made by organisations operating within the EU, and requires data to back these claims up. Another key fundamental of this directive is the need for independent verification of any claims before they're made public. [04:35] What are the main drivers for the EU Green Claims Directive?: One of the key drivers is combatting the rampant rise in greenwashing. It's created a culture of mistrust around green claims, which makes it difficult for stakeholders and consumers to make informed decisions on who to work with or buy from. Greenwashing also makes it harder to tackle bigger environmental concerns. With misleading data, we can't accurately measure businesses impact on the environment, which is essential if we are to take meaningful action to reduce our impact. Ultimately, greenwashing practices are slowing down our ability to effectively reduce our impact as a collective. We are at a point where sustainability related decisions need to be made quickly. [08:00] Clearer Communications: This directive also has more control over what you can and can't say in relation to green claims. By waiting until that independent verification has occurred, businesses can feel confident in the information they're communicating. [09:30] What is Green Masking? Coined by Carbonology, green masking is where organisations are essentially marking their own homework and hiding behind that fact. It's where no independent verification has taken place, which can result in a lack of accuracy and transparency. [10:25] Who needs to comply with the EU Green Claims Directive? – This is an EU based regulation, so if you're located within the EU you will be expected to comply with this law. If you do business within the EU, so if you're based in the UK and sell to Europe, then you will also fall under this jurisdiction as well. [11:25] What is required by the EU Green Claims Directive?: A full summary of the directive's requirements can be found on the EU website. A simple break down of these requirements is also available on The Anti-Greenwash Charter website. Charlie recommends familiarising yourself with the EU Green Claims Directive requirements initially, which are written to suit how businesses generally operate. He also advises that you seek legal assistance as well as sustainability and marketing experts or consultants to get a full picture of how you can comply with these requirements. [13:35] There is an emphasis on substantiation and verification in the EU Green Claims Directive – what does this mean in practice? A green claim doesn't account for much if you're marking your own homework. For it to be truly substantiated, it needs to be verified by an independent third party. The Directive also highlights the need for life cycle data, and its inclusion within the verification process. This will give businesses a more wholistic view of the impact of the materials they use, the products they use and services they deliver. Charlie encourages businesses to get a head start on this now, not only due to the benefits it can bring but also to get ahead of the tightening of sustainability legislation that is coming down the road for the UK. [16:15] How will the directive impact the use of carbon offsetting and carbon neutrality claims within the EU? Businesses are going to have to be crystal clear in their terminology in terms of their substantiated claims. There is going to be a lot more scrutiny on the quality of evidence provided for carbon claims, so businesses may want to outsource help with analysing the relevant carbon data and communicating any claims and offsetting efforts.    [18:25] Is the Directive ambitious enough? Or could it be strengthened?  – Previous attempts to enforce sustainability regulations have been rather weak, and time will tell if this EU Directive is set to change that pattern. Charlie praises the Directives approach to best practice, though that will evolve further as time goes on. He thinks that the use of generative AI and how that impacts and influences sustainability communications needs to be considered further. It's all still quite new, so this may be added in down the line. The Anti-Greenwash Charter already have considerations for responsible AI use within communications and data processing within their Green Claims Policy Template. They caution any signatories of their Charter to be very careful with the use of AI to support data collection and analysis, as it has the tendency to ‘hallucinate', and companies will be held responsible for any mishaps related to incorrect results provided by AI. [23:00] What are the potential consequences for businesses that fail to meet the requirements of the EU Green Claims Directive? – The penalties will be significant, including both fines and potential bans in areas such as marketing, advertising and promoting sustainability claims on the basis of malpractice. Time will tell on how these penalties are delivered and to what extent within the EU and UK. It shares similarities with other regulations, such as ESOS, where a phased approach was implemented for organisations that met certain criteria. [25:00] How can The Anti-Greenwash Chater help organisations comply with the EU Green Claims Directive? – Since it's inception in 2022, they have paid close attention to the Directive's development, utilising any improvements and iterations to bolster their own process. As a result, a lot of the work they do with signatories directly aligns with and facilitates the delivery of the foundations of the Directive. Examples of this include: Independent verification – Their Green Claims Policy has to include a green claims database, so any claim that a business want to make has to have the relevant data to back it up. It also requires specification of what third party that business used to verify that evidence. Accessibility of evidence – This is stressed within the EU Green Claims Directive, and is easily fulfilled with the creation of a green claims database as specified by The Anti-Greenwash Charters' Green Claims Policy. A full summary of how The Anti-Greenwash Charter can help with compliance to the EU Green Claims Directive is available on their website. [27:55] How will the EU Green Claims Directive will impact consumer trust in environmental claims? – There's currently an issue with the flooding of sustainability related communications. With greenwashing so rampant, making an informed decision as a consumer is really difficult. The standardisation of sustainability credibility and substantiation is what the EU Green Claims Directive aims to do. Ultimately, it will act as a trustworthy marker for stakeholders and consumers to make an informed decision quickly. If you'd like to learn more about The Anti-Greenwash Charter, visit their website!

The acting head of the NIH reportedly pushed back against legal guidance to resume grant funding, leaving federal workers in the lurch. Also, though fungi make up a tiny part of the human microbiome, they play an important role in both the prevention and development of many diseases.Cuts And Conflicting Directives Sow Confusion For NIH WorkersJust over a month after President Trump's inauguration, federal science in the US is in a state of disarray. Executive orders to halt grant funding at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have faced court challenges. Last week, a federal judge extended a restraining order on a proposal to cap NIH grant funding for indirect costs, costs that experts say are critical to their work. But according to new reporting, staff within the NIH have been left without clear guidance about moving forward with those grants, with the NIH's acting director reportedly pushing back against legal guidance from the agency's lawyers to restart distribution of the funding.Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Katherine J. Wu, staff writer for The Atlantic, who reported on the turmoil at the NIH. They also talk about other science news of the week, including an update on the measles outbreak in Texas, how to see every planet in the solar system this week, and how scientists think runner Faith Kipeygon could be the first woman to break a four-minute mile.You've Heard Of The Microbiome—Welcome To The MycobiomeYou've heard of the microbiome, the community of bacteria, viruses, archaea parasites, and fungi that live in our bodies. But that last member of the group, fungi, get a lot less attention than the others. And perhaps that's unsurprising. After all, bacteria outnumber fungi 999 to 1 in our guts.But now, scientists are beginning to piece together just how important fungi truly are. Disruption in the fungal balance can play a role in the development of Crohn's disease, irritable bowel disease, celiac disease, colorectal cancer, some skin diseases, and more.Host Flora Lichtman talks with Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum, microbiologist and professor at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine, who has dedicated his career to studying the fungi in our bodies, and coined the term mycobiome over a decade ago.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal has made clear he has no intention of changing course based on one of the new directives from the Trump Administration. Earlier this month, the Department of Education issued a so-called Dear Colleague letter, which stated that any institutions receiving federal funds from that Department would be required to eliminate all race-based programs – including Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs – or risk losing federal funds. Washington’s K-12 schools receive 7 percent of their funding from the Department of Education. Reykdal responded with his own letter last week, stating in part that he has: “Advised Washington’s school districts that they should not make changes to their existing policies, practices, and programming in accordance with this letter.” Guest: Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal Relevant Links: KUOW: 'We are not going backward.'
