   US Pressure on Xi Jinping May Lead to Release of Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon is encouraged that President Trump plans to raise the fate of persecuted publisher Jimmy Lai with Xi Jinping. Simon believes China must resolve the "Jimmy Lai problem" but will likely demand concessions, such as sanctions relief. Lai's release, potentially via a humanitarian or commuted sentence route, would pave the way for the release of hundreds of other Hong Kong dissidents.

Jessica Owers was well established as a feature writer for several respected racing publications before being invited to tackle her first book in 2011. She knew the project would be a long and arduous one. She didn't expect it to take all of six years. Her much admired “Peter Pan- The True Story Of Phar Lap's Successor” was not only widely acclaimed but gave its author the incentive to follow up with a similar tribute to another iconic Australian racehorse. Just two years later she brought readers the fascinating story of 1940's champion Shannon.  It's taken Jessica twelve years to turn out her third book, and this one is on an entirely different theme. Encouraged by friends at the famous Magic Millions Sales organisation, the talented writer recently completed Magic Millions, The Rise, Fall and Extraordinary Rise Of An Iconic Australian Company. We welcome Jess to our podcast to tell us more about her new book and to share with us recollections of her fascinating journey in journalism thus far. The gifted writer says she was encouraged to tackle the Magic Millions story by a handful of longtime company stalwarts. She explains that most of the people involved in the Magic Millions story are still living, which greatly enhanced her research. The central characters in the Peter Pan and Shannon stories had long passed on. Jessica talks about the impression she gained during research about the late Carl Waugh, the man who first created the Magic Millions concept. She says few realised how close the fledgling company came to receivership in the 1990's. The author talks of a meeting she had with a Gold Coast developer who owned the Magic Millions company for a couple of years before hitting his own financial crisis. Jess says she also had the pleasure of recording a voice over for the audio version of her new book. She talks of her Irish birthplace and a family relocation to Australia before her first birthday. The mother of two looks back on a return to Ireland at age 10 and a subsequent university degree attained in Scotland. Jess says she headed back to Australia with her new diploma in hand and has never considered leaving the harbour city. She steadfastly declares that her love of thoroughbreds  was triggered by the legend of Phar Lap. Jess looks back on the six year slog required to complete her first book, “Peter Pan- The Forgotten Story Of Phar Lap's Successor.” She reflects on Peter Pan's stellar racing career. Jessica explains why she selected 1940's champion Shannon as the subject of her second thoroughbred biography. She gives a brief outline of Shannon's distinguished Australian racing career and the “one-off” Inglis sale convened to sell the great horse following the death of his owner and trainer Peter Riddle. The author also looks back on the stallion's subsequent sale to the US where he won several races before standing at Kentucky's famous Spendthrift Farm. Jess talks about her freelance roles with several racing platforms including her current contribution to “The Straight”- a recently introduced, subscription based digital publication founded and edited by respected journalist Bren O'Brien. She talks about her Racing Writer Of the Year  nomination at the . 2023 Kennedy Awards. She didn't win but was deeply touched by the honour. Jess talks about her own love of horse riding and pays a special tribute to Moxie's Halo- the former racehorse who became her best equine friend. Moxie died much too soon. She talks of the trauma experienced by the whole family when her sister Sonya was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2009.  Her admiration for Sonya's courage is boundless. Jessica speaks with great affection of the two shining lights in her life- son Julien and daughter Charlotte.  

Clare dog owners are encouraged to get their pets microchipped in advance of Halloween. With an increased usage of fireworks throughout the period, dogs can become distressed and skittish, potentially running away from home to escape the fireworks. This can result in pets getting injured or causing harm to people due to panic. County Dog Warden, Frankie Coote, is advising owners to take photos of their dogs and report the incident immediately if they go missing.

Guest: Matt Gregory   Guest Bio: Matt Gregory's story is one of quiet transformation, shaping the brokerage division from within while never losing the drive to help clients. A strategist and mentor, he co-founded the Office Brokerage Group, launched the firm's Fast Track training program, and has closed 1,200-plus deals worth more than $810 million. Clients value his mix of precision, urgency, and clear foresight; colleagues value his commitment to developing future leaders. Having recently earned his broker's license, Matt now serves NAI Ohio Equities in an official Management-Level Broker capacity, bringing even greater authority to the guidance he provides.   Education: BA Communication - The Ohio State University Professional Affiliations: SIOR, CCIM   Matt continues to pair strategic vision with hands-on coaching, ensuring both clients and the next generation of brokers achieve their full potential.   Key Points: Career Background & Path into Real Estate While studying at The Ohio State University, he interned at Ohio Equities, helping modernize their marketing and tech systems. After graduation, he became Director of Information Technology for the firm. Over time, he was drawn into sales after assisting agents with listing presentations and realizing he enjoyed the client-facing, persuasive side of the business. Encouraged by the company's owner, Sandy Simpson, he got his real estate license and transitioned into brokerage.   View on Selling Matt prefers to think of sales as education, advising, and consulting rather than traditional selling. His philosophy: “Educate clients so they can make confident, informed decisions.” He defines selling as persuading someone of value, aligning with the dictionary meaning of “to sell.” He believes in consultative selling—building trust through information, not pressure.   Fast Track Program (Training for New Agents) Originally created in 2006, revived and redesigned in 2023 under his leadership. Matt discusses in depth the structure of the Fast Track Program he designed and uses to train new agents. The Goal: give three years of experience in one year to reduce new-agent failure and speed up success.   Hiring & Recruiting Philosophy Matt looks for candidates who are confident but not arrogant, emotionally intelligent and adaptable, self-motivated and resilient, and realistic about the long sales cycle in commercial real estate. The recruitment process he uses is multiple conversations (3–4 meetings), both formal and informal, emphasis on intuition and relationship-building, not just testing, considers diversity in career stages and backgrounds (new grads, mid-career switchers, experienced professionals), and avoids personality assessments; it relies on observation and cultural fit.   Leadership & Management Style Matt's biggest management challenge is balancing autonomy and oversight. He wants agents to feel empowered but not reckless. Some agents over-communicate; others under-communicate—he strives for a healthy middle ground. He focuses on mentorship, working directly on deals with new agents to model behaviors and decision-making. Matt encourages agents to become future leaders, not just team players.   Outcomes & Culture Strong retention and development culture—agents tend to stay long-term. Emphasis on learning, collaboration, and shared success. Fast Track alumni are performing well and contributing to the firm's growth. The company's local reputation attracts new candidates organically.   Guest Links: Website: https://www.ohioequities.com/brokers/mgregory.html LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mgregoryohioequities/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mjgreg Twitter: http://www.x.com/officegrp Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/officegrp     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day I received an email from Frank K4FMH asking me about an idea I'd worked on some time ago, namely the notion that I might monitor solar flux at home using a software defined radio. At the time I was attempting to get some software running on my PlutoSDR and got nowhere fast. Before I continue, a PlutoSDR, or more formally an ADALM Pluto Active Learning Module by Analog Devices, is both a computer and a software defined radio receiver and transmitter in a cute little blue box. I've talked about this device before. It's an open design, which means that both the software and hardware are documented and available straight from the manufacturer. Out of the box it covers 325 MHz to 3.8 GHz. You can connect to a PlutoSDR using USB or via the network, wireless or Ethernet, though I will mention that neither of those last two is currently working for me, but more on that later. Encouraged by Frank's email, I set out to explore further and came across a 2019 European GNU Radio days workshop, which discussed some of the tools that are available for the PlutoSDR, accompanied by two PDF documents walking you through the experience. One comment around why the PlutoSDR uses networking as one of the connectivity options spoke to me. From a usability perspective, networking makes it easier to access the PlutoSDR from a virtual machine, since most of the time that already has network connectivity, whereas USB often requires drivers. As you might recall, network connectivity is one of the many things that I'm trying to achieve with a project that I'm calling Bald Yak, since by the time we're done, there's not going to be much hair left from all the Yak Shaving. The Bald Yak project aims to create a modular, bidirectional and distributed signal processing and control system that leverages GNU Radio. As a result, I set about trying to actually walk myself through those PDF tutorials .. and got stuck on the first sentence on the first page, which helpfully states: "The necessary prerequisites have been installed on the local lab machine." It went on to supply a link to a page with instructions on how to acquire those very same prerequisites. Two days later, after much trial and error, I can now report that I too have these installed and because I cannot help myself, I made it into a Docker container and published this on my VK6FLAB GitHub page. To put it mildly, there's a few moving parts and plenty of gotchas. As an aside, if you think that installing Docker is harder than installing these tools, I have some news for you .. trust me .. by a long shot .. it's not. Right now I'm working on writing the documentation that accompanies this project such that you can actually use it without needing to bang your head against the desk in frustration. Mind you, the documentation part of this is non-trivial. For reasons I don't yet understand, my Pluto does not want to talk to the network directly over either WiFi or Ethernet, and connecting over USB through a virtual machine inside a Docker container is giving me headaches, so right now I'm connected across the network to a Raspberry Pi that's physically connected to the Pluto. As a result, I can now use the tools inside my Docker container, connected to the Pluto through the Pi and if you're curious, 'iiod' is the tool to make that happen .. more documentation. At this point you might well ask, why bother? This is a fair question. Let me see if I can give you an answer that will satisfy. Monitoring solar flux typically occurs at 2.8 GHz, which is outside the range of RTL-SDR dongles which top out at about 1.7 GHz. For the PlutoSDR however, it's almost perfectly within the standard frequency range. One of the tools that is introduced by the talk is an application called 'iio-scope', which as the name suggests, is an oscilloscope for 'iio' or Industrial I/O devices, of which the PlutoSDR is one. As an aside, the accelerometer in your laptop, the battery voltage, the CPU temperatures, fans, and plenty of others, are all 'iio' devices that you can look at with various tools. So, once I've finished the tutorials, I suspect that I will understand a little better how some of the various parts of the PlutoSDR hang together, and I can set it up to monitor 2.8 GHz. Of course, that's only step one, the next step is to make a Raspberry Pi record the power levels over time, better still, record it on the PlutoSDR itself, and see if we can actually notice any change .. without requiring anything fancy like a special antenna, some massive filters, a special mount and all the other fun and games that no doubt will reveal themselves in good time. It also means that, if I got this right, I have the beginnings of the bits needed to get the PlutoSDR to talk to GNU Radio. Why? Because I can, and because Frank asked, also Yak Shaving. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

NEW SERIES ALERT

In this message we explore Matthew 9 and the story of the paralyzed man carried by his friends to Jesus. Before the miracle happened, Jesus first spoke words of encouragement: “Take heart, your sins are forgiven.” Breakthrough doesn't begin with circumstances changing—it begins with a heart open to receive what God wants to do. Sometimes God lifts discouragement before He lifts the problem. Sometimes He deals with eternity before He changes the present. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, discouragement, or barriers between you and Jesus, this message will remind you: guard your encouragement, keep your heart open, and trust that God is preparing you for breakthrough.

Acts to The Future : Encouraged | Acts 18 by Lifehouse

Synopsis Him is a story about an all-American boy who learns to love an all-American sport. Cameron and his family are obsessed with football, specifically the football team, the Saviors. Encouraged by his father, the young Cameron begins to idolize the Saviors' quarterback, Isaiah White, who apparently is the goat. As Cameron grows, he dedicates his life to the sport and is soon well on his way to being drafted in the NFL. With his hero Isaiah White on his last season, it is even likely he will be replacing the goat himself as quarterback for the Saviors. To celebrate, as well as help train his replacement, Isaiah invites Cameron to his secret football bunker for a weeklong sports bootcamp/slumber party.  Review of Him From the synopsis I just gave you may be wondering where the horror element comes into the film. Well, basically football is just evil and I will leave it at that until the spoilers. I really enjoyed the first two acts of the movie. The tension was steadily built and I was finding myself more and more interested in the dark underbelly of this world. However, for me the tension never quite reached the apex the film was going for and I found myself disappointed with act 3. Although I will say that act 3 is not devoid of delightful gore and surprises, the climax just didn't do it for me. I wanted there to be a bigger pay off than there was, yet I am left wondering why I expected much of anything given that the only real character development we get throughout the movie is related to how much Cameron does or does not enjoy football. I think it is a really fun idea to combine the sports genre with the horror genre, and I don't think Him does an entirely terrible job, it just could have been better.  Score 6/10
