Did you know that people who have received a kidney transplant are at a much higher risk for skin cancer? We sat down with experts to discuss how you can lower your risk. In this episode we heard from: Dr. Cerrene Giordano is a dermatologist and Mohs Micrographic surgeon at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York. She specializes in treating skin cancers, particularly in patients who are high risk such as those who have received organ transplants, have weakened immune systems, or a genetic predisposition to skin cancer development. Her expertise includes skin cancer surgery, wound reconstruction, and the management of skin cancers such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, to name a few. Dr. Giordano is also involved in research aimed at improving pain management following dermatologic surgeries and exploring advanced imaging techniques to enhance surgical outcomes. Kent Bressler is a retired RN who was diagnosed with FSGS in 1984, and received a living donor transplant from his brother Kip in 1987. Kent is an active advocate for preemptive kidney transplant and has on the recommendation of NKF worked closely with the DoD and PCORI as a consumer peer reviewer. He is an NKF peer mentor and advocate who has collaborated on an editorial “Change in Albuminuria and GFR as End Points for Clinical Trials in Early Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease,” published in AJKD in 2019. He will also be participating in the development of the new NKF Patient Network serving on the Data Input and Integration Committee. He has been an active hill advocate for the NKF for six years and was the proud recipient of the 2017 Richard K. Salick Advocacy Award.

Before President Trump and Elon Musk publicly cut ties last week, they were closely working together to identify government waste. The President even tapped Musk to lead the charge, appointing him as head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency. Months later,  Musk is now saying President Trump's "one big, beautiful bill," is undermining the work his team set out to do in the first place. Bret revisits his conversation with Elon Musk and the DOGE team from earlier this year, to take a look at what their initial goals and visions were, and how that compares with the work they've been able to do since.  Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.

From the archives: 5-28-22In the state of Idaho, a capital punishment case refers to a criminal case in which the defendant is accused of a crime that carries the possibility of receiving the death penalty as a punishment. Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is the legal imposition of death as a penalty for a serious crime.Here is a summary of what typically constitutes a capital punishment case in the state of Idaho:Eligible Crimes: Capital punishment in Idaho is primarily reserved for cases involving aggravated murder. Aggravated murder includes intentional killings with specific aggravating circumstances, such as murder for hire, multiple murders, or the murder of a child.Arrest and Indictment: The process begins with the arrest and indictment of the defendant for the alleged crime. The defendant is formally charged with the offense and is considered innocent until proven guilty.Prosecution and Defense: The case proceeds to trial where the prosecution presents evidence and argues for the defendant's guilt, while the defense presents its case to establish the defendant's innocence or to mitigate the severity of the crime.Sentencing Phase: If the defendant is found guilty of aggravated murder, a separate sentencing phase takes place. During this phase, both the prosecution and defense present additional evidence related to aggravating and mitigating factors to determine whether the death penalty is an appropriate punishment.Aggravating and Mitigating Factors: Aggravating factors are circumstances that make the crime more heinous or deserving of the death penalty, while mitigating factors are circumstances that may reduce the defendant's culpability. These factors may include the defendant's prior criminal record, the brutality of the crime, the defendant's mental state, or any evidence of remorse.Jury Decision: In Idaho, the jury plays a crucial role in determining the sentence. If the jury finds that one or more aggravating factors outweigh the mitigating factors, they can recommend the death penalty. However, if the jury unanimously finds that the mitigating factors outweigh the aggravating factors, they can recommend a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.Judicial Review: Following the jury's recommendation, the trial judge must review the case and determine whether the death penalty is justified based on the evidence presented. The judge has the discretion to accept or reject the jury's recommendation.Execution: If the judge imposes the death penalty, the defendant may be executed by lethal injection, which is the sole method of execution in Idaho.In this episode, we take look at the chances for a capital punishment case against Bryan Kohberger and if the proseuction is prepared to go down that road.(commercial at 9:20)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger Prosecutor Likely to Push for Death Penalty: Legal Expert (newsweek.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Segun Lawson, President and CEO of Thor Explorations (TSX.V: THX) (AIM: THX) (OTC: THXPF), joins us for a review of Q1 2025 operations and financials from its Segilola Gold mine, located in Nigeria, and for the Company's ongoing exploration and development programs in Nigeria, Senegal and Cote D'Ivoire.    Q1 2025 Financial Highlights   22,750 ounces ("oz") of gold sold (Q1 2024: 17,420 oz) with an average gold price of US$2,720 per oz (Q1 2024: US$2,033). Cash operating cost of US$711 per oz sold (Q1 2024: US$418) and all-in sustaining cost ("AISC") of US$950 per oz sold (Q1 2024: US$632). Revenue of US$64.0 million (Q1 2024: US$33.3 million). EBITDA of US$43.6 million (Q1 2024: US$23.2 million). A quarterly record Net Income of US$34.4 million (Q1 2024: US$12.4 million). Net Cash of US$24.7 million (Q1 2024: Net debt of US$14.3 million). Maiden quarterly dividend of C$0.0125 per share per quarter (C$0.05 per year)   This strong financial balance sheet with no debt is allowing the Company to increase exploration initiatives at all projects.   In Nigeria, there is ongoing near-mine exploration focused on testing depth extensions of the Segilola deposit, with a diamond drilling program targeting the continuity of high-grade shoots down-plunge to the south. Early results confirm mineralization below the current final pit design. Drilling returned encouraging high-grade intercepts both north and south of the existing resource, indicating the potential for extensions and new target areas beyond the current limits of the Segilola resource. Regional exploration efforts concentrated on geochemical sampling targeting structurally complex zones within the Ilesha Schist Belt identified through geological modelling as prospective for gold mineralization.   In Senegal, at the Douta Gold Project, workstreams in support of a Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") were advanced during 2024 on the metallurgical test work, process flow sheets and resource update.  Exploration work focused on  at depth between the main Makosa resource base along the 6km strike from Makosa Tail to the northern extent of the deposit, with RC drilling targeting increased oxide resource definition at the parallel Makosa East Prospect. The discovery of the Baraka 3 Prospect in Douta West has had positive implications to the Douta PFS, but has delayed the delivery of this study as a result. This 3km of strike length of very wide near-surface oxide gold mineralization could be very import to the early economics in a development scenario of this Project, and thus the Baraka 3 drilling has been accelerated.   Wrapping up we discuss the exploration prospectivity over the 3 different exploration projects in Côte d'Ivoire: The Guitry Gold Project and two additional option agreements to acquire an 80% interest in the early-stage Boundiali Exploration permit and the Marahui Exploration permit. At these project the company is assessing target-generative geochemical surveys and sampling and mapping, with drilling planned for after rainy season in Q3 2025.     If you have any questions for Segun regarding Thor Explorations, then please email them into us at Fleck@kereport.com or at Shad@kereport.com.   *In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Thor Explorations at the time of this interview.   Click here to follow the latest news from Thor Explorations

There's a belief New Zealand's entering the early stages of an export-led recovery. Stats NZ data reveals it's at $1.4 billion in April, compared with a $12 million deficit last year. The dairy sector's been the big winner, up $601 million to $2.2 billion. Former Finance Minister Steven Joyce told Mike Hosking it's promising on the back of a tough three years in the sector. He says domestically people aren't spending a lot, so imports aren't coming in, but fortunately the world is buying more from us which is a great point in the cycle.

From the archives: 5-28-22In the state of Idaho, a capital punishment case refers to a criminal case in which the defendant is accused of a crime that carries the possibility of receiving the death penalty as a punishment. Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is the legal imposition of death as a penalty for a serious crime.Here is a summary of what typically constitutes a capital punishment case in the state of Idaho:Eligible Crimes: Capital punishment in Idaho is primarily reserved for cases involving aggravated murder. Aggravated murder includes intentional killings with specific aggravating circumstances, such as murder for hire, multiple murders, or the murder of a child.Arrest and Indictment: The process begins with the arrest and indictment of the defendant for the alleged crime. The defendant is formally charged with the offense and is considered innocent until proven guilty.Prosecution and Defense: The case proceeds to trial where the prosecution presents evidence and argues for the defendant's guilt, while the defense presents its case to establish the defendant's innocence or to mitigate the severity of the crime.Sentencing Phase: If the defendant is found guilty of aggravated murder, a separate sentencing phase takes place. During this phase, both the prosecution and defense present additional evidence related to aggravating and mitigating factors to determine whether the death penalty is an appropriate punishment.Aggravating and Mitigating Factors: Aggravating factors are circumstances that make the crime more heinous or deserving of the death penalty, while mitigating factors are circumstances that may reduce the defendant's culpability. These factors may include the defendant's prior criminal record, the brutality of the crime, the defendant's mental state, or any evidence of remorse.Jury Decision: In Idaho, the jury plays a crucial role in determining the sentence. If the jury finds that one or more aggravating factors outweigh the mitigating factors, they can recommend the death penalty. However, if the jury unanimously finds that the mitigating factors outweigh the aggravating factors, they can recommend a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.Judicial Review: Following the jury's recommendation, the trial judge must review the case and determine whether the death penalty is justified based on the evidence presented. The judge has the discretion to accept or reject the jury's recommendation.Execution: If the judge imposes the death penalty, the defendant may be executed by lethal injection, which is the sole method of execution in Idaho.In this episode, we take look at the chances for a capital punishment case against Bryan Kohberger and if the proseuction is prepared to go down that road.(commercial at 9:20)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger Prosecutor Likely to Push for Death Penalty: Legal Expert (newsweek.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

It's not uncommon for brands to scale mostly as B2B enterprises with minimal emphasis on sophisticated consumer marketing. When product design carries you that far, it can be easy to overlook the marketing department. Then, when you turn to ask them for acceleration, you realize you do not have the right team at all. Or, even worse, you don't even believe. For the founders who delay and doubt the power of marketing, please have a listen. Your Host: Dr. James F.
