The Wrong Side of the Flame: A Brighid LaFlamme Mystery by Renaii West Renaiiwest.com https://www.amazon.com/Wrong-Side-Flame-Brighid-LaFlamme-ebook/dp/B0CP8W6N99 Brighid LaFlamme, Belly dancer and fire performer, is the undisputed leader of a tight knit group of friends she has dubbed her Fire Buddies. When they are not performing at Renaissance faires or other events, they can be found enjoying alternative forms of adult entertainment and activities at the local kink-oriented venue. When one of her Fire Buddies, who had recently distanced himself from the group, dies, she has trouble accepting the official story of a tragic accident and becomes determined to learn the truth, despite the challenges and discouragement she faces. Dragging her buddies into this journey, and picking up a few new friends along the way, Brighid discovers the darker side of ambition, talents she never knew she had, and the value of friendship. About the author Renaii West has been writing and performing from an early age. After earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, she became the dramatic arts instructor in a performing arts program, where she wrote and directed many of her own productions. Desiring to spread her creative wings, she is now creating fun-loving and sometimes quirky characters who inadvertently find themselves in the middle of a mystery and must use their wits and cunning to solve the case. Her passions and hobbies include mythology, classic films, travel, belly dancing, yoga, jigsaw puzzles, and, of course, mysteries.
I used to feel so anxious and insecure. My life was filled with drama, but now I'm realizing it's hard to find many moments when I don't feel peace. In this episode, I'll talk about how every struggle in your life is self-inflicted, why drama isn't happening to you, and how to break free from the insecurity and anxiousness that is destroying your life. I'll address questions around rejection oversensitivity, comparing yourself to your ex's new partner, and why you keep attracting avoidant men.Work with me, subscribe to my Substack, or find out your dating personality: https://confidencechris.com/links

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 6:4-6. We all know what it feels like when a conflict gets ugly. But what Paul describes here is something deeper—something darker. When believers drag each other before unbelievers, it's not just a problem. It's a symptom of a spiritual disease. So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? — 1 Corinthians 6:4–6 Paul says it plainly: "I say this to your shame." He is calling out their foolishness—their lack of wisdom—with almost painful bluntness. Paul isn't shocked that believers disagree. He's shocked that a church claiming to have the Spirit, gifts, teachers, apostles, and the mind of Christ somehow has no one wise enough to help two Christians settle a grievance. That's not just sad. That's spiritually foolish. And that foolishness reveals something deeper than the conflict itself: The issue isn't the lawsuit. The issue is the heart that would rather win than reconcile. Dragging our spiritual family into court before unbelievers exposes a hidden sickness: Pride that won't yield Bitterness that wants public victory Immaturity that refuses correction Selfishness that doesn't care about the witness of the church A craving for personal justice instead of God's justice The lawsuit is only the surface-level problem. The deeper problem is a church unwilling—or unable—to address spiritual rot in its own members. Paul is essentially saying, "If you can't solve small disputes, what does that say about your spiritual condition?" Because when believers run to unbelievers to fix their relationships, it reveals: A failure of discipleship A failure of community A failure of wisdom A failure of courage A failure of love And the world watches all of it. Paul's sting is intentional. He wants them to feel the weight of their compromise—not to shame them into despair, but to wake them into maturity. Because a church that can't handle conflict will never be a church that transforms culture. The deeper message? Until the heart is healed, the conflict won't be. And no secular court on earth can fix what only the Spirit can restore. DO THIS: Bring one unresolved conflict before God today. Ask Him to expose anything in your heart—pride, stubbornness, or fear—that may be preventing reconciliation. ASK THIS: What does my response to conflict reveal about my spiritual maturity? Who in my church family can help me work through a difficult grievance biblically? What heart issue—not just the dispute—needs God's correction? PRAY THIS: Father, reveal the deeper issues in my heart that fuel conflict. Give me humility, courage, and wisdom to pursue reconciliation in a way that honors You. Heal what I cannot see and restore what is broken. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Give Us Clean Hands"

Description: In this episode, we dive deep into Tesla's long-promised Cybercab as production reportedly begins and Elon Musk claims a sub-$30,000 price tag could arrive this year. We examine conflicting narratives around Tesla's robotaxi progress, including sharp criticism of the program eight months in and fresh timeline promises. Tesla's software push continues with Grok-enabled navigation in Europe and a renewed FSD launch in China backed by a local data center. Meanwhile, Tesla faces mounting pressure overseas, with UK sales plunging as BYD surges ahead and broader EV market share slipping despite overall auto growth. Legacy automakers aren't sitting still either—Ford is lobbying for access to Chinese EV tech, while BYD and Geely eye major North American production capacity. We also cover Polestar's aggressive expansion plans, Cruise's admission over a false pedestrian report, and the evolving EV policy and infrastructure conversation in Manitoba.

The crew breaks down how the Air Force's first female SERE Chief thought it was a good idea to dox an A1C because his dad called her a “garrison bunny.” Yeah, you read that right. Instead of clapping back with humor, she weaponized her platform of 195k followers to drag a kid who had zero involvement. We torch the hypocrisy, roast the power abuse, and ask the question no one else will: how the hell is this acceptable in uniform?

Newly released Jeffrey Epstein files have delivered another deeply embarrassing blow to the House of York, placing Sarah Ferguson — and her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie — back under an unforgiving spotlight. The emails, sent years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, show Ferguson expressing warmth, loyalty and dependence on the disgraced financier, with language critics say is impossible to reconcile with his criminal record.Several of the messages directly reference Beatrice and Eugenie, sometimes casually and sometimes uncomfortably, leaving sources close to the sisters describing them as mortified by the revelations. One exchange includes a crude reference to Eugenie, while others suggest Epstein was welcomed into family life and royal spaces long after he should have been cut off entirely.Royal commentators argue the emails expose not just personal misjudgment but a broader failure of palace oversight. While Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been stripped of titles and removed from public duties, critics say the slow, reactive response has only prolonged the damage — particularly for Beatrice and Eugenie, who now find themselves tied to a scandal they played no role in creating.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Send us a textWant clinical research that respects real life? We sit down with Caroline Potts, GM of Site and Patient Services at MRN, to rethink how patients are recruited and supported when the standard trial model collides with work, school, caregiving, and distance. We start at the site level, exploring why trial sites remain the beating heart of studies, then unpack how participants actually arrive: investigator databases, advocacy networks, disease-specific portals, and focused social campaigns that reach people where they already are.From there, we tackle the hidden friction in protocols. Do you really need a physical exam at every visit, or can a trained nurse complete most procedures at home, at work, or even at a holiday address? Caroline gets specific about what's possible outside the clinic—centrifuges, compliant drug delivery, courier timing—and where the red lines remain, like imaging. The conversation separates hype from substance on decentralised trials, arguing that the true shift is operational flexibility, not just apps. We also assess AI's promise in finding eligible patients while calling for rigorous validation and thoughtful use alongside human support.The heart of the episode is practical patient centricity. We discuss rare diseases and long travel times, evening and weekend scheduling, reimbursement barriers, and how small design choices can either invite people in or push them away. Participants commit years of their lives to studies; the least we can do is meet them halfway. Caroline closes with a bold wish: compress timelines across the entire development arc. Precision medicine has moved forward; trial operations must catch up.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review to help more listeners find thoughtful conversations on modern clinical research.Transformation in Trials is a podcast investigating how we can change life sciences to get treatment to patients faster.

What really matters for markets in 2026—and why are most forecasts focused on the wrong metrics? Lance Roberts visits with Simplify Portfolio Manager & Chief Investment Strategist, Michael Green, CFA, to examine the structural changes inside today's markets that are reshaping price discovery, volatility, and risk. From the rise of passive investing and ETF dominance to the growing disconnect between fundamentals and flows, the mechanics of how markets trade have changed dramatically. We explore why small-cap and mid-cap stocks remain the most economically sensitive indicators, how ETFs can pull sellers higher during inflows—and why that dynamic reverses dangerously during outflows. We also examine declining market elasticity, the limitations of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, and why traditional analysis is increasingly ignored. Beyond markets, we connect these shifts to investor behavior, financial nihilism, generational risk-taking, and the unintended consequences of policy intervention. From the "Bank of Dad" to systemic fund imbalances, this discussion reframes what a useful market outlook should actually focus on heading into 2026. This is not a prediction. It is a framework for understanding risk, structure, and consequences. 0:00 INTRO 2:02 - Outlook for 2026 - What's the important metric? 6:22- Small-cap, Mid-cap stocks are most economically sensitive 8:32 - The importance of Understanding What You Own 11:09 - The Issue of ETF's - Dragging the Sellers higher 13:13 - The Theory of Passive Investing 15:16 - The Composition of Trading has Changed 17:52 - How to correct an over valued stock 19:25 - The Problem with Passive Investing - what happens when investors start selling indexed ETF's (the Bigger the Company, the LESS Elastic the Demand Response) 23:55 - The Efficient market Hypothesis 25:32 - What Makes for a Useful Market Forecast - The market Can't Crash?? 27:14 - Systemic Issues within the Market 31:14 - What Would Michael Green Do? 33:18 - The Death of Analysis & Fund Imbalances 37:13 - The Next Generation of Investors and Risk-taking 39:17 - The Poverty Line & Young Investors 43:34 - When the Government Gets Involved 46:04 - Making Choices - Luxuries vs Necessities 49:18 - Financial Education, Financial Stability, & Financial Choices: Financial Nihilism 53:16 - The Bank of Dad & Soft Society 1:00:58 - Actions Have Consequences 1:05:30 - How to Reach Michael Green 1:06:33 - The Problem with The Problem Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Simplify Portfolio Manager & Chief Investment Strategist, Michael Green, CFA Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- You can read Michael Green's blog, "Yes...I Give a Fig," here: https://www.yesigiveafig.com/ ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQSiR6fxLGg&list=PLVT8LcWPeAuhi47sn298HrsWYwmg8MV7d&index=1 ------- Watch our previous show, "Social Security Reform: Expansion or Cuts?" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQSiR6fxLGg&list=PLVT8LcWPeAuhi47sn298HrsWYwmg8MV7d&index=1 -------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Market Rotation Is Broadening — But Risks Remain," is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS2mSWm16qg&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestm entadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketOutlook2026 #PassiveInvesting #ETFMarketStructure #FinancialNihilism #MarketRisk #MichaelGreen
Now what did you think about what I said in this week's episode...Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. A sharp jab turned into a masterclass on projection, public image, and the price of going low on a big stage. We rewind the viral moment where Jess Hilarious took aim at Tasha K, pause on the interruption that could have de-escalated everything, and explore why choosing to continue made the shade feel intentional. When you say someone “always” looks a certain way, you admit you're always watching—and that's where obsession creeps in. The audience caught that energy fast, and the comments did the heavy lifting long before any clapback landed.From there, we get honest about image, age, and the work it takes to look camera-ready. Maintenance is a discipline—skin, hair, fit, and small habits that add up. Dragging someone's appearance rarely reads as confidence; it reads as insecurity that wants company. We also unpack Tasha K's responses, from replayed clips to claims of projection backed by audio from someone close to Jess. Whether you buy every receipt or not, the pattern is familiar: the trait you attack is often the one you fear in yourself.Beyond the drama, we zoom out to creator survival skills. Read your platform contracts, because some distributors keep monetizing your content even after you walk. Keep your digital house in order, streamline your identity, and take advantage of Google's option to update your primary email without losing your data. Small admin moves protect you when the internet's mood swings. At the end of the day, restraint is a strategy: speak names only when you offer value, not venom. Hit play for a candid breakdown, some practical creator tips, and a reminder that integrity travels further than a viral drag.If you found this useful, subscribe, share with a friend who loves media analysis, and drop a review—what's your take on accountability after a public misstep?Support the show

If divorce has left you irritable, numb, exhausted, or feeling like you don't recognize yourself anymore, this episode is for you.In this special episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica shares audio from a live Divorce Detox Hour inside her membership, The Club. This is not a traditional podcast conversation. It's a guided nervous system reset designed to help divorced women step out of survival mode and return to steadiness, clarity, and self-trust before entering the new year.Through intentional breathwork, grounding practices, visualization, and symbolic release, Erica guides listeners through closing the emotional chapter of 2025 and consciously choosing what does and does not come with them into 2026. You'll be led through a powerful “theater of your new year” visualization, a release ritual for what you're done carrying, and a future-self encounter that helps clarify who you are becoming without pressure or forced goal setting.This episode is not about fixing yourself or rushing healing. It's about creating safety in your body, honoring what you survived, and making space for a version of you that isn't built around endurance or emotional overfunctioning.If you're post-divorce and feel stuck in fight-or-flight, unsure who you're becoming, or afraid of repeating the same emotional patterns in the new year, this episode offers a grounded way to reset and move forward without dragging the past behind you.You'll learn:Why divorce often keeps women stuck in long-term survival modeHow nervous system regulation supports emotional healing after divorceWhy “new year, new you” pressure can actually slow recoveryHow breathwork creates safety before emotional processingWhat it means to consciously choose what you carry forwardHow to release resentment, shame, and self-blame without rehashing the pastWhy healing requires embodiment, not just insightHow to reconnect with your future self after identity lossWhy choosing qualities matters more than rigid goalsHow community accelerates healing and prevents emotional isolationWe talk about:00:00 Why post-divorce irritability and numbness aren't personality traits02:00 What a Divorce Detox Hour is and why it works04:00 How survival mode shows up after divorce06:30 Grounding the body to create emotional safety09:00 Breathwork to calm the nervous system12:00 Moving out of the head and into the body14:00 The “Theater of Your New Year” visualization18:00 Witnessing what you survived in 202520:30 The Release Box ritual and letting go of emotional weight23:30 Choosing who you are becoming in 202626:00 Meeting your future self and receiving guidance28:00 Making promises and boundaries that support healing30:30 Why community matters during identity rebuilding33:00 Releasing the past without erasing it35:00 Closing the session with steadiness and self-trustThe ClubLooking to claim your post-divorce bad ass?

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt shares a personal Thanksgiving story that turned into a real medical emergency. A long-time family friend suddenly becomes unresponsive at the dinner table, and Matt walks through the moment he had to decide whether to act, despite not being “formally” current on CPR.He talks candidly about what it felt like to drag her to the floor, check for breathing, make the call to start chest compressions, hear ribs crack—and then watch her come back. From there, he connects the experience to life in an automotive shop: CPR and first-aid readiness, AEDs, fire extinguishers, panic, freezing, and why “somebody will know what to do” is not a plan.It's a conversation about preparedness, stress, and how our greatest weapon really is the thought we choose when everything suddenly goes sideways.Episode HighlightsOpening with the quote: “Our greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.”Matt fighting a cold and joking about his “Nat King Cole” voice.Thanksgiving at his parents' house: Family and close friends gathered, including a 75-year-old family friend (“Jane”) who's been part of the family's holidays for years.Jane says she's really dizzy; Matt gets up to escort her to the living room.Her chin suddenly drops to her chest, she becomes unresponsive, cold, and clammy.The decision point:Matt checks for airway, tries to feel for a pulse, listens for breathing—only hears gurgling.Admits he doesn't fully trust his own ability to feel a pulse with his heart pounding.The mental calculus: If you can't be sure, what else is there to do but chest compressions?Starting chest compressions:Dragging her to the floor and focusing completely on her while the rest of the room “disappears.”Locking his elbows, using the beat of “Stayin' Alive” as a guide.First compression: feeling and hearing the sternum/ribs crack—and taking that as feedback that he's at the right depth.Before the second compression, her eyes fly open and she lets out a sound.The immediate emotional whiplash:First feeling isn't relief, but anger and self-doubt: “Did I just overreact?” “Did I crack her ribs for nothing?” “Was this some dramatic hero move I didn't need to make?”Reorienting to the reality that she was unresponsive and now is awake, talking, and oriented.EMS arrives:Very low blood pressure at the house (around 70/40).Hooked up to a 4-lead, showing atrial fibrillation with PVCs.Matt nerds out on the waveforms and explains AFib and PVCs in plain terms.EMTs jokingly ask if he's a doctor because of how well he reads the traces.Later imaging reveals:A cracked or stress-fractured sternum from compressions.Multiple blood clots in her lungs.The doctor tells her that sternum fractures are common with CPR and adds:Don't be mad at him — he saved your life.For Matt, the key relief is not the “hero” label, but confirmation that he did the right thing by acting.Connecting it back to shops and real life:Afterward, Matt starts calling around trying to set up CPR and first-aid training.Hard question: if he drops at the shop, who's going to act?Extending the concern beyond employees: what about customers?Preparedness checklist for shops:Is there an AED on-site, and does anyone actually know how to use it?Has anyone at the shop had recent CPR and first-aid training?Do...
Dragging through the day… but wide awake at night? Feeling foggy, irritable, overwhelmed, or battling stubborn belly fat that won't budge? It's easy to blame this on stress, age, or the time of year. But what if the real issue runs deeper? In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart explains the early warning signs of adrenal dysfunction that most people miss before full burnout, hormone disruption, and immune breakdown set in. This is especially important if you're a high-achiever under constant pressure, woman in perimenopause, or navigating postpartum recovery These seasons of life place enormous demand on the adrenal system, and when it starts to falter, the symptoms often show up as fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, weight gain, and low resilience. In this episode, you'll learn: The 5 most common signs your adrenals are under stress Why being "wired but tired" is a major red flag How chronic stress quietly impacts belly fat, muscle, mood, and sleep Why standard blood tests often miss early adrenal burnout The most accurate way to assess adrenal health using saliva-based cortisol testing (ASI/DUTCH) So if you've ever been told your labs look "normal" but you know something still feels off, this episode will help you connect the dots.

Bigfoot - There Was No EscapeIn 1964, the narrator's grandfather and uncle, experienced campers in the Appalachian Mountains, took a risky shortcut through the eerie, lifeless Devil's Bowl to beat nightfall. What began as suspicious noises—snapping branches, rustling leaves, and clacking rocks—escalated into a terrifying ambush by multiple eight-foot-tall, hairy, ape-like creatures with piercing eyes and guttural roars, resembling Bigfoot. Pelted with increasingly large stones, the men spotted shadowy figures circling them. The grandfather, mistaking them initially for moonshiners, drew his pistol and tried to de-escalate, but a massive beast charged, knocking them down. Desperate, the uncle emptied his revolver into one creature, killing it and unleashing a horde of enraged others that swarmed, slashing and battering the pair. With broken ribs and severe wounds, the grandfather fought back fiercely, shooting several beasts in the head to defend his unconscious uncle, fearing he'd wiped out the entire group. Dragging his kin to safety, they escaped to their home for care, but the trauma lingered: the uncle bore lifelong scars and battled addiction until his death at 51; the grandfather, a Korean War vet and coal miner, carried deep regret and sorrow, dying when the narrator was 18, haunted by the unatoned violence in the creatures' "front yard."Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
I find it rare for anyone to make a big deviation from their normal routine. We work hard to get ourselves to a place where we are managing our lives with stability. We get routines and schedules that feel comfortable, safe, and efficient. I'm growing to appreciate seasons of this lifestyle. And yet, I find a danger of getting into a rut that is hard to break out of, and our minds can get lazy. Breaking out in small, incremental steps may work for some people. But I'm a fan of some hard resets. As I record this intro for the podcast I'm nearing the end of a 72 hour fast. The reason, even though I greatly appreciate the mental clarity and acuity I experience, the reason was mainly to give my body a chance to fully recover and reset itself from the constant barrage of food. In a similar concept, my guest today invites you on a 12 hour walk. In 2018, Colin O'Brady became the first person in history to complete a solo, unsupported, fully human-powered crossing of Antarctica's landmass. Dragging a 375-pound sled for 54 days across 932 miles of ice. Colin holds 11 world records as a renowned explorer. As this podcast goes live on November 21, 2025, Colin is back in Antarctica on a quest called FURTHER that started on Nov. 5th. Further is a 1,780 mile, 110 day solo, unsupported, and fully human-powered crossing of Antarctica. From ocean to ocean, the route spans not only the continent itself but also nearly 1,000 miles of frozen sea — the ice shelves that flank Antarctica's edge. I sat down with Colin a few years ago after he had been homebound by COVID, and then up and told his wife he was going for a walk. And right then and from his home, he walked for 12 hours. What resulted was a reset of his mind. Of his motivation. Of his perspective on life. He impacted himself so much that he wrote a book about it, The 12-Hour Walk: Invest One Day, Conquer Your Mind, and Unlock Your Best Life. We talk about our inclination to go from kids, youth, and even young adults with big dreams and ideas, and relegate ourselves to the mundane. But I'm not out to promote you, just do it, go bigger, and do more. I'm not even that interested in talking about how we are all capable of more. I interest myself with how we can be different. Maybe better, but different. And maybe that different is actually…going smaller. Doing less. The idea is more about doing something to shake us out of our mold and get a reset. And from this, consider new possibilities for ourselves and our lives and our overall life experience.

Matt Drury Finally Lands the Perfect Shot | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 447 Matt opens up about coming home from Idaho after skimming a bull's back and how it tanked his confidence, then walks through the exact moves that put a mature Missouri buck on the ground: ditching minerals, building and maintaining DIY water holes, reading an east/southeast wind with nasty thermals (and a neighbor 90 yards away), and leveraging a pre-built mock scrape for a 25-yard heart shot.
