Episode 4094: Michael Mehlberg argues that the fastest, deepest learning comes from actively doing rather than passively consuming information. Using the story of a first flying lesson, he shows how combining reading, watching, listening, teaching, and hands-on experience leads to lasting understanding and encourages you to take control of your own learning. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://michaelmehlberg.com/blog/2015/11/10/learn-how-to-learn-yes-theres-a-best-way Quotes to ponder: "Experience is the mother of learning. Experience teaches us in a primal, direct way that no other type of learning can reproduce." "They got out there and experienced all they could about their professions early and often... their degrees and certificates came later." "When you read something new, write about it in your own words after."

When we talk about Native education, we're talking about far more than classrooms.In this episode of All My Relations, guest host Dallas Goldtooth welcomes longtime friend Sedelta Oosahwee (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara and Cherokee), Senior Program & Policy Analyst at the National Education Association, for a timely conversation about the future of Native students, tribal sovereignty, and public education.Together they unpack what Native education actually looks like today, why more than 90% of Native students attend public schools, and what proposed changes to the U.S. Department of Education could mean for tribal nations. They also discuss school choice, the importance of culturally relevant curriculum, supporting Native students and teachers, and why tribal sovereignty is fundamentally different from DEI initiatives.Along the way, Dallas and Sedelta share hilarious stories from their early 1491s days, reflect on the mentors who changed their lives, and celebrate the Native educators, artists, and storytellers creating a better future for the next generation.This episode is a reminder that education isn't just about schools—it's about relationships, responsibility, and believing in what's possible.+++Produced by Matika WilburHosted by Dallas GoldtoothAV Production & Editing by Pancho Francisco SánchezScore by Mato WayuhiArtwork & Social Media Management by Mandy YeahpauText us your thoughts!Support the showFollow us on Instagram @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.  Show notes are published on our website, Allmyrelationspodcast.com.

Democratic socialism is gaining influence across America, but how did it move from the political fringe into the mainstream? Professor Jeffrey Lax joins The P.A.S. Report to expose the forces driving the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), anti-Americanism, and the growing battle over America's future. As the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) expand their influence and New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reshapes the political conversation, many Americans are asking how these ideas gained so much traction. CUNY Professor Jeffrey Lax joins Professor Nick Giordano for an in-depth discussion on the transformation of higher education, immigration, assimilation, constitutional government, and why many political leaders continue to underestimate this growing movement. From the collapse of economic literacy in the education system and the debate over capitalism versus socialism to the spread of anti-American ideology, this episode examines the cultural, political, and institutional changes fueling one of the most consequential political shifts affecting America's future. The conversation also explores the growing influence of the DSA, the constitutional challenges facing the United States, and why civic education remains essential to preserving a free society. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Progressive Mainstream: How democratic socialism moved from a fringe movement into America's political institutions. The DSA's Growing Influence: Why the Democratic Socialists of America continue expanding their footprint in major American cities. The Failure of Education: How higher education, faculty unions, and declining civic education shape modern political ideology and weaken economic literacy. Immigration, Assimilation & National Identity: Why immigration policy, cultural assimilation, and national identity remain central to America's future. Defending the Constitution: Why capitalism, constitutional government, and civic education remain essential to preserving American liberty. Topics Covered: Democratic Socialism, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Zohran Mamdani, Jeffrey Lax, CUNY Professor, Socialism vs Capitalism, Higher Education, Civic Education, US Constitution, Anti-Americanism, Immigration, Assimilation, Ro Khanna, Israel, Iron Dome, Economic Literacy, Faculty Unions

While behavior analysts might think themselves immune to falling into poor practices when supporting students in public schools, don't forget that we too are sensitive to the contingencies of our environment. And when those environments are using statistically higher rates of punishment in the form of harsh discipline practices for females of color... This week we're joined by special guest, Dr. Mawule Sevon to discuss the research on this terrible trend, how behavior analysts might inadvertantly support its promulgation by responding to assessment and observation requests, and what our field can do to support anti-racist practices in school discipline.

So here's the thing. I know I talk a lot about reading. It's pretty important to me. But all week I've been trying to prepare a different podcast, one NOT about the uncrackable justification for choice reading. But recently I heard from several teachers over in CHSE about thriving reading programs they had going, only to get shut down by folks who felt like reading in class was a waste of time. And then I kind of ended up in a rabbit hole, as I am wont to do. It's like researching the justification for choice reading became my guilty pleasure, sucking up all my time. I listened to audiobooks on my walks, pored over research roundups and articles at the coffee shop, hit up the hammock with my Penny Kittle, and stared and stared and stared at the growing evidence mounting in my endless Google doc of notes. The evidence is clear. The need for help for kids who don't read, don't like reading, and don't want to read is great. And yet STILL we are prioritizing reading snippets and drilling for tests to "improve" our readers' reading. I want you to have the information you need to fight. So here I am. Again. Despite my efforts to focus on something else this week. Let's dig deep.

Episode 3637: Jeff Rose explains what penny stocks really are, why their low price can be misleading, and how their lack of liquidity and reporting requirements make them especially risky. He also breaks down common "pump and dump" scams so you can recognize the warning signs and make more informed investing decisions. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.goodfinancialcents.com/what-is-a-penny-stock-scam-pump-and-dump/ Quotes to ponder: "Every time this occurs I always sigh to myself and think, “Sure it is”." "What makes penny stocks so risky is their lack of liquidity." “People who responded to the ‘pump and dump' scam lost 8% of their investment in two days. Conversely, the spammers who buy low-priced stock before sending the e-mails, typically see a return of between 4.9% and 6% when they sell.” Episode references: OTC Markets Group (OTCBB/Pink Sheets information): https://www.otcmarkets.com/ U.S. Geological Survey: https://www.usgs.gov/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The federal student loan system has been a rigged game for decades — colleges raised tuition without consequences, handed out credentials with little real-world value, and left students and taxpayers holding the bag. On this hard-hitting stand-alone episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down President Trump's groundbreaking new Earnings Accountability rule and the Student Tuition and Transparency System (STATS) that's finally putting the Big Education Racket on a performance plan.Doug explains how the rule works (program-by-program earnings tests, warnings, and consequences for failure), why it's not a ban on any major, and the crucial distinction between real learning and expensive credentials. He delivers the analysis you won't hear anywhere else: how federal loans insulated universities from market discipline, the human cost of the debt crisis, and the hopeful path forward for families, students, and America's future.This episode cuts through the noise with clear conservative insight on accountability, opportunity, and restoring common sense to higher education. If you're tired of worthless degrees and runaway tuition, this is must-listen content that empowers better choices for the next generation.✅ Timely Trump policy breakdown✅ Beyond the headlines analysis✅ Pro-student, pro-taxpayer, pro-opportunitySubscribe to The Right Side for more unique conservative commentary that teaches you how to interpret what's really happening in America.Prayerfully consider donating to the show at: www.DougBillings.us#TrumpEducationReform #StudentLoans #CollegeAccountability #BigEducationRacket #HigherEducation #AmericaFirst #ConservativeCommentary #StudentDebt #TheRightSide #DougBillings #FYPSupport the show

Six days before a federal rule was set to take effect, the courts stepped in. The Department of Education tried to redefine who counts as a professional, a move that would have capped student loans for nurse anesthetists and the advanced-practice clinicians training behind them. The courts said the challenge is likely to succeed and hit pause. This week I sat down with Tracy Young, twenty-six years in the field, and Randy Moore, who runs anesthesia at enterprise scale, to work through what the ruling actually means and what it does not. It is a win in a battle, not the war. We get into the argument a federal regulator made that landed harder than we wanted to admit, why a rule written to require supervision is now being used against us, and where the line sits between what government should decide and what the people doing the work should. Plus the student-loan fight both parties get half-right, and why credentials stopped predicting who can lead. Good information first. Then the honest conversation about where anesthesia goes next. TAKEAWAYS The court blocked the rule on a preliminary injunction, not the merits. It buys time. It does not end the fight. The professional designation fight has real money behind it. Redefining the term caps federal loans for CRNAs, PAs, and nurse practitioners. The strongest argument against us was ours to fix. A federal statute still references supervision, and that language is being used to question our standing. Both sides of the student-loan debate are right. Treat the subsidy as a return question, and CRNAs are a good bet. We pass boards 95 percent of the time. Regulators are the wrong body to design clinical practice. The people closest to the work adapt faster than any rule can. Want more Dr. Joe Rodriguez?

Michael #1: django-orjson Adam Johnson dropped django-orjson - drop-in replacements for the Django and DRF pieces that touch JSON, swapping stdlib json for orjson, the Rust-based library. Headline numbers: 10x faster serialization, 2x faster deserialization. The interesting question is why this needs to be a package at all. pip install orjson is the easy part. Adam's actual pitch: adopting it "isn't easy, especially when your framework uses json in many different parts." Django scatters JSON across JsonResponse, the test client and test case classes, the json_script template tag, and more. There's no single hook to grab, so you get a library that catches them all. Adam is refreshingly honest about the scale of the win. His words: "While database queries tend to dominate the typical Django application's runtime, the time spent in serialization and deserialization can still be significant." He calls it "a nearly free performance win" - not "this will 10x your app." That's a claim about cost, not magnitude, and it's worth keeping those straight. Worth flagging what the post doesn't cover: caveats. There are none in the article, but orjson has real ones. Django and Flask both render datetimes as RFC 822 HTTP-date (Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT); orjson does ISO 8601. It can't do ensure_ascii, it rejects NaN and Infinity (which stdlib happily emits), and it raises on Decimal. If you've got a JS client parsing dates, that's a wire-format change. Who should actually take this? If you're a DRF shop shoveling JSON all day, yes - it's cheap and it's real. If your app mostly renders HTML templates, you're optimizing a slice of runtime that's already near zero. The problem Adam's package solves doesn't exist in Flask or Quart. They already centralize every JSON operation - jsonify, request.get_json(), the test client, the |tojson filter - behind one provider object at app.json. So there's no library to install. It's about ten lines: import orjson from quart.json.provider import JSONProvider # or flask.json.provider class OrjsonProvider(JSONProvider): def dumps(self, obj, **kwargs) -> str: return orjson.dumps(obj).decode() # provider must return str def loads(self, s, **kwargs): return orjson.loads(s) app.json = OrjsonProvider(app) The numbers on talkpython.fm Evaluated it, measured it, and skipped it. The biggest JSON payload we serve is our MCP server returning a cached episode transcript, about 139 KB. Swapping the provider saves 0.119 milliseconds per request. That total response takes 1.1 ms We got 4.1x, not 10x - and the reason is the good lesson. Payload shape decides your speedup. The 10x is for structure-heavy data, lots of small keys where stdlib burns time in Python-level dispatch per item. Our hot payload is one giant transcript string, so the work is escaping and memcpy Calvin #2: Best Django Redis configuration for speed and size Peter Bengtsson revisits a classic: his 2017 "Fastest Redis configuration for Django" benchmark now has a 2026 update posted this week. The 2017 post pitted django-redis serializers (json, ujson, msgpack, pickle) and compressors (zlib, lzma) against each other; conclusion was msgpack + zlib as the sweet spot - avoid the json serializer, it's fat and slow. The 2026 update narrows focus to just compressors: default (no compression), zlib, lzma, and newcomer zstd. New results: lzma compresses best but is slowest; zstd is the fastest compressor on Ubuntu; differences between them are very small. Big takeaway across both: compression buys you a lot of space (2–3.5x smaller) for very little speed cost - worth it for Redis where memory is the constraint. Caveat from the author: results depend heavily on your data - his test stores short strings of numbers, so benchmark your own workload. Michael #3: Linus Torvalds puts the foot down against Anti-AI Kernel Maintainers Write up on Ars. Really good coverage by Maximillian: Time to wake up (for some) Torvalds said that “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. Or just walk away.” I agree with Max, putting your head in the sand and waiting for AI to go away will likely mean you won't be working professionally in software development in the coming years. The statement came amid a lengthy thread arguing about the use of Sashiko, an “agentic Linux kernel code review system” that its creators claim can, in tests, independently find 53.6 percent of the bugs that would end up being fixed by human coders in later commits. “We're not forcing anybody to use [LLM tools], but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it,” Torvalds said. “Anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time,” Torvalds wrote. Calvin #4: Django Steering Council backs the Triptych Project Django Steering Council issued a Letter of Collaboration backing Carson Gross & Alex Petros's funding bid for the Triptych Project - three proposals to make HTML more expressive natively, in every browser. The three additions: PUT/PATCH/DELETE methods for forms, button actions (buttons that fire HTTP requests without a wrapping form), and partial page replacement. Distills the core ideas from HTMX/Unpoly/Turbo into the HTML standard itself - no JS, no library, nothing to ship or maintain. Current focus is button actions (WHATWG #12330): Logout instead of wrapping a button in a form. Relevant to Django directly - think the admin submit row and disguised delete links; Django 6.0's template partials were already inspired by these patterns. How to help: companies can send non-binding letters of support on letterhead; individuals can read the proposals and weigh in on the WHATWG issues.

What if the missing piece to raising cooperative kids isn't sharing, but learning how to compromise? In this episode, we explore why compromise is a skill that develops through emotional regulation, not simply expecting children to "work it out." You'll learn how helping children understand another person's perspective creates the foundation for genuine collaboration. We also discuss why jumping in with solutions can actually limit problem-solving and how curiosity can empower children to create their own win-win plans. By teaching the process of compromise from an early age, we help children build lifelong skills in communication, empathy, and healthy conflict resolution.Don't miss a thing!

Life is a battle. Not just the obvious battles we see around us, but the deeper battles that shape who we become. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores the six battles every person will face: Man vs. Nature – the unexpected storms of life Man vs. Man – conflict with others Man vs. Society – the pressure to conform Man vs. Himself – the internal war between fear and faith The Spiritual Battle – the unseen struggle between light and darkness The Battle for Identity – the greatest battle of all, because who you believe you are determines how you fight every other battle. Joining Mr. Black is Lt. Col. Phil Cochran, a retired Air Force F-16 fighter pilot, pastor, and author of Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound. Drawing from years in the cockpit and years behind the pulpit, Lt. Col. Cochran shares how the disciplines required to fly a fighter jet reveal powerful spiritual truths about faith, courage, pressure, failure, and perseverance. LIM Radio s11e29 In the Fight of your life Outline.docx Together they discuss: Why even a one-degree drift can lead to disaster over time The importance of spiritual disciplines in staying on course Preparing for life’s battles before they arrive Why Scripture is our Critical Action Procedure when spiritual emergencies strike How proper preparation prevents poor performance Mr. Black also challenges listeners to become Powerful, Peaceful, and Present warriors—leaders who remain calm under pressure, disciplined in their actions, and fully aware of the people and opportunities God places before them. This isn’t just a conversation about aviation. It’s about leadership. It’s about faith. It’s about identity. Because the greatest battle you’ll ever fight isn’t against your circumstances. It’s the battle for who you believe you are. This is an Hour of Power for anyone ready to stop drifting, stand firm, and fight the good fight of faith. Inspiration. Education. Application.

America's top-selling economics textbook defines communism as "the most benevolent form of economic system." That single sentence sums up why Texas State Board of Education members Julie Pickren and Brandon Hall asked PJTN president Laurie Cardoza-Moore to testify as they fought a terror-linked campaign to reshape how children learn about Israel, Judaism, and American history. In this webinar, Laurie sits down with Pickren, Hall, and PJTN senior academic fellow Dr. Sandra Alfonsi to unpack what the board won, what's still ahead when high school standards return to a vote in September, and why what happens in Texas doesn't stay in Texas — it shapes curriculum for 25 other states and over 30 million schoolchildren. The conversation also turns to New York's new mayor, with Dr. Alfonsi making the case that "Commie Mamdani" undersells the real ideology at work. This is a conversation about truth in the classroom, the return of the Bible to instructional materials, and the biblical responsibility to make sure the next generation is taught to stand with Israel, not against it.Follow, share, and support PJTN's mission at PJTN.org.0:00 They Renamed Communism in Textbooks0:42 Meet PJTN and Laurie Cardoza-Moore3:20 Inside the Texas TEKS Standards Hearing7:47 Julie Pickren on Defeating CAIR's Amendments11:57 Why High School Standards Got Delayed17:59 Brandon Hall on Putting the Bible Back in Schools25:12 Communism 101: Who Controls Your Child30:20 Q&A: Banning CAIR From Testifying36:11 Free Bluebonnet Curriculum for Every State40:57 How the New Standards Will Be Enforced45:48 Rising Antisemitism and "Commie Mamdani"52:12 Dr. Alfonsi: Communism as a Vehicle for Islamism55:28 Erasing Jewish History From Textbooks1:07:01 Closing Thoughts and How to Get InvolvedDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨

rWotD Episode 3365: First Cevallos expedition Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 21 July 2026, is First Cevallos expedition.The First Cevallos expedition was a series of Spanish military operations in South America during the Fantastic War. Under the command of the governor of Buenos Aires, Pedro de Cevallos, the expedition captured the Portuguese settlement of Colónia do Sacramento and fought off a joint Anglo-Portuguese attempt to recapture it. All military activities in the region concluded with the 1763 Treaty of Paris.In 1762, Spain entered the Seven Years' War on the side of France as part of the Family Compact, motivated in part by diplomatic efforts on the part of the French government. Having been notified months in advance that Spain was planning to enter the conflict and declare war on Portugal, Cevallos launched an expedition against Colónia do Sacramento on 3 September 1762, sailing at the head of an expeditionary fleet from Buenos Aires which carried 2,700 soldiers. The Portuguese authorities in Colónia do Sacramento, already alerted to Cevallos' plans, received reinforcements on 24 September.The expedition arrived near Colónia do Sacramento on 7 September and began to besiege it on 1 October. By 3 November, the settlement capitulated to the Spanish. A month later, a joint Anglo-Portuguese expedition attempted to recapture it, attacking the city walls by bombarding it; after a British warship was destroyed, the Anglo-Portuguese force withdrew. From January to April 1763, Cevallos launched several attacks on Portuguese outposts in the region, capturing the forts of Santa Tereza and San Miguel and occupying the village of Rio Grande. There, Cevallos learned of the Treaty of Paris and concluded his campaign.The expedition's success was received positively in Spain, as the war had gone badly for the Spanish on all other fronts. Under the terms of the Treaty of Paris, Colónia do Sacramento was returned to Portugal, though other outposts captured by Cevallos remained under Spanish control. The Portuguese refused to accept losing control over these outposts, launching several incursions into Spanish-held territory; these actions eventually resulted in an undeclared war breaking out between Spain and Portugal between 1776 and 1777. During this conflict, Cevallos once again captured Colónia do Sacramento, and it was permanently ceded to Spain in the First Treaty of San Ildefonso.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:08 UTC on Tuesday, 21 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see First Cevallos expedition on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

fWotD Episode 3364: Lope Martín Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 21 July 2026, is Lope Martín.Lope Martín (marooned 21 July 1566) was an Afro-Portuguese maritime pilot who successfully navigated across the Pacific Ocean east–west and then west–east, becoming the first to complete the return voyage from Asia to the Americas. Martín was a free mulatto from Lagos, Portugal, who became a licensed pilot in Spain. He was contracted for Miguel López de Legazpi's expedition from Mexico to the Philippines and was designated the sole pilot of a patache called the San Lucas. Martín and the San Lucas separated from the rest of the fleet after ten days and sailed through the Marshall Islands and the Caroline Islands before arriving at the Philippines in January 1565. Without the rest of the fleet, Martín then embarked upon the return voyage from Asia to the Americas, which had been attempted but never completed; the San Lucas arrived in Mexico in August 1565.In spite of Martín's accomplishments, the Real Audiencia of Mexico soon ordered him to return to the Philippines and appear before Legazpi, who was expected to execute him for having allegedly deserted the rest of his fleet. Martín's ship, the San Jerónimo, departed Mexico in May 1566; recognizing the danger that he faced, Martín led two successive mutinies and took command of the ship. He anchored the San Jerónimo at Ujelang Atoll in July 1566, intending to maroon any members of the crew who were not loyal to him; instead, Martín and 26 other men were left behind and never seen again.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:48 UTC on Tuesday, 21 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Lope Martín on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Geraint.

SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this Money Making Conversations Masterclass episode, Rushion McDonald interviews Miko Branch, co‑founder and CEO of Miss Jessie’s, a pioneering hair‑care brand serving people with textured, curly, kinky, and wavy hair. Miko recounts how she and her late sister, Titi Branch, built Miss Jessie’s from their kitchen table in their Brooklyn brownstone, developing products designed to genuinely work for people with textured hair. She highlights the brand’s deeply personal roots—named after their grandmother Jessie Mae Branch, the first “CEO” they ever observed in action. Throughout the interview, Miko explains how Miss Jessie’s expanded from grassroots marketing, word‑of‑mouth, and early internet chat rooms to becoming a national brand found in Walgreens, CVS, Target, and more. She stresses the brand’s emphasis on education, authenticity, and providing solutions for all textured hair types. Miko also discusses signature product lines (Curly Pudding, Pillow Soft Curls, Daily Soft Curls, sulfate‑free shampoo) and how Miss Jessie’s became a leader in the natural hair movement—well before it became a mainstream trend. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To showcase Miss Jessie’s origin story and entrepreneurial journey McDonald highlights how Miko built a multimillion‑dollar brand from her kitchen table. 2. To inspire current and aspiring entrepreneurs Miko demonstrates how authentic problem‑solving creates brand loyalty and long-term success. 3. To educate listeners about textured hair and the natural hair care industry The interview reinforces that natural hair is not a trend—it's an identity and lifestyle. 4. To highlight the importance of cultural heritage and family influence Miko shares how her grandmother, her sister, and her Brooklyn salon shaped Miss Jessie’s values and innovation. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Miss Jessie’s was built on authenticity and real consumer needs The brand emerged from real hairstyling challenges Miko and Titi solved for themselves and their salon clients.. 2. Education is central to the brand’s success Miss Jessie’s teaches customers how to understand and care for their curl types—wavy, curly, kinky, multicultural, or transitioning.McDonald says the site offers more information than any hair‑care brand he has interviewed. 3. Family legacy guides the company Their grandmother Jessie Mae’s leadership, work ethic, and kitchen‑table lessons inspired their business approach. 4. The natural hair movement is here to stay People increasingly embrace their God‑given texture; straightening is no longer the dominant norm. 5. Social media amplified—did not create—their success Word‑of‑mouth began long before social media; platforms today simply extend their reach. 6. Miss Jessie’s serves everyone with texture—not just Black women Men, boys, Latinas, mixed‑race individuals—anyone with curls or waves—can find a solution. 7. Product innovation drove their growth Curly Pudding, Pillow Soft Curls, Daily Soft Curls, and sulfate‑free shampoos transformed textured hair care. 8. Their Brooklyn salon doubled as R&D It allowed the sisters to test products directly on customers and ensure real‑world performance. NOTABLE QUOTES (from transcript) On the company’s beginnings “We started our business in our brownstone right at our kitchen table.” “Curly Pudding was the groundbreaker—the game changer.” On the brand’s philosophy “The bottom line is being able to create products that are helpful.” “Information and communication is key to success.” On inclusivity “Anyone who has texture… we have something for you.” On natural hair “Natural hair, curly hair is preferred… it’s how people want to express themselves.” “Natural hair is not a trend—it’s here to stay.” On social media and growth “We were going viral before ‘going viral’ was a word.”.

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – Did you know that ABC and NBC did not carry Trump's speech? They are not interested in the TRUTH. They are propaganda machines. Viewers listen to them. Their lies are aimed at the destruction of America. I went to their websites. Not one mention of the most important issue facing America: fair elections, a stolen election, and...

Women Series. Episode #3 of 4. In 1954, the United States Supreme Court released one of its most important and revolutionary rulings: Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka Kansas, usually better known as Brown v. Board. The ruling overturned the infamous ruling in Plessy v Ferguson, the 1896 ruling that established the ‘separate but equal' precedent that made Jim Crow discrimination legal. The Brown ruling required that the federal government integrate public schools, bringing white and Black children together to receive equal education. While this story is often told as one part of a progressive and inspiring story about the Civil Rights Movement, a movement for rights that we now sort of all agree was good. But in reality, Brown v Board and the wider movement were met with extreme resistance from white supremacists. While white male politicians like George Wallace got the most attention, they were riding a wave of racism and resistance created and kept alive by white women. Today, for this episode of our latest women's history series, we're talking about the white women who fought back against the Civil Rights Movement.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. This week, Elvis and Barb are coming to you from the FDLA Symposium at the GPS Digital RPD booth with two conversations that prove one thing: dental technology never stops evolving. First up, Chris Bradley from SmileLine USA returns to the podcast alongside technician, educator, and lab owner Richard Wodzinski, with Dawn Roniger from GC America joining the discussion. What starts as a conversation about "sexy brushes" quickly turns into a deep dive into one of the most intriguing shade-matching workflows you'll hear about. Richard explains how the OptiShade camera and Matisse software work together to create incredibly accurate shade recipes for everything from monolithic zirconia to layered ceramics and even gingiva. They also discuss the latest Creation Magic Color system, hands-on education, custom shade appointments, and why reducing remakes isn't just good for labs—it's better for doctors and patients too. Add in some FDLA leadership talk and a shared passion for education, and you've got a conversation packed with practical ideas and plenty of laughs. Then Elvis and Barb sit down with Kaveh Shams, Branch Manager for Zirkonzahn Canada, whose journey into digital dentistry spans London, Italy, and Canada. Kaveh shares how his admiration for Enrico Steger and Zirkonzahn eventually led to his dream job, while also offering a fascinating look into the company's history, philosophy, and commitment to education. From the origins of Exocad and custom CAM strategies to modular milling systems, open architecture, and Zirkonzahn's incredible Military School program that trains the next generation of technicians, this conversation is full of insight into what makes one of dentistry's most respected digital companies tick. It's an inspiring story of passion, persistence, and why great technology always starts with great technicians.Special Guests: Chris Bradley, Dawn Roniger ​​​​, Kaveh Shams, and Rich Wodzinski.

Lots of great coaches have a formal education, lots do not. The point is that a degree isn't necessarily the thing that makes them so good. Krissy, Dr. Chris, and Ryann come at this from completely different backgrounds. They get into what makes a great coach, why formal education is often overkill for most goals, when you genuinely do need someone with a specialized credential, and the red flags that should make you think twice when looking for a coach. Plus a conversation about why communication is the entire job, why zero certifications after years in the industry is a warning sign, and why the coach who has lived your specific struggle is sometimes worth more than the one with the fanciest resume.

This episode examines how heat stress affects water intake in dairy cows—and why farms must prepare their watering systems for increasingly hot weather.A review of studies from 1985–2024 found that Holstein cows producing roughly 65–70 pounds of milk averaged about 24 gallons of water per day under thermoneutral conditions. During heat stress, intake increased by approximately 10 liters, or 2–3 gallons, per cow per day. Each one-unit increase in the temperature-humidity index was associated with another 1.5 liters of water intake. Although heat-stressed cows produce less milk, they drink more because the additional water supports evaporative cooling and body-temperature regulation.Data from the University of Minnesota's dairy herd revealed a more complicated picture. smaXtec sensors showed that cows averaged around 23 gallons per day, but estimated intake declined during summer. Possible reasons include warmer drinking water, pasture water access, competition at waterers, and changes in drinking behavior. Cows generally drank only four or five times per day, consuming roughly 14–20 liters at each visit. Peak drinking also shifted from midafternoon in winter to around 7 p.m. in summer, often after milking.These patterns highlight the importance of examining when cows drink—not just daily totals. Farms should ensure adequate water flow, tank capacity, access, and cool water during peak-use periods. Sensor readings are most valuable when compared with each cow's normal behavior and interpreted alongside weather, milk production, rumination, health events, and management changes.The central message is that water intake can be a useful indicator of heat stress, but unexpected changes should prompt investigation rather than an automatic conclusion. As extreme heat becomes more common, dairy water systems must be designed for peak demand rather than historical averages.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Kim on a Whim takes on the left's latest target: homeschooling families. Mark and Kim break down a viral rant from two liberal podcasters who call homeschool parents trickle-down stupid and admit they'd rather crawl to school than spend time with their own kids — and the Department of Education claps back hard. From there it's a real conversation about why homeschooling works, why blue states have the lowest homeschool rates while places like Tennessee and Montana lead the nation, and why so many Missouri families turned to homeschooling and school choice after seeing exactly what their kids were being taught post-2020. It's faith, family, and parental rights versus a media class that thinks loving your kids too much is the problem — only on the Marc Cox Morning Show. Stick around, because next up is a flag controversy brewing right here at a St. Louis fire station.
