Friend,At Trump's State of the Union, Democrats wouldn't even stand for the victims of illegal immigration.Shocking?Maybe.But here in Tennessee, the media does the same thing every day — just more quietly.They won't stand up for you.They won't report the truth.They won't hold Republicans accountable when they betray conservative voters.We do.And here's why…1. Our money comes from YOU2. I don't take a dime from The Tennessee Conservative.The minute we start taking corporate money, PAC money, or checks from weak-kneed politicians… the truth stops.That's not speculation.That's how the game works.For five years we've survived this way.But I'm going to be blunt:We may not get through this legislative session without immediate support.I checked the mailbox after being gone for over a week.Two checks.Two.Meanwhile, our reporting has:Stopped bad bills• Exposed weak records• Encouraged primary challengers• Advanced legislation conservatives have fought for years to passBut investigative reporting isn't free.Legislative session coverage is expensive.And conservatives are asleep because they think what's happening in D.C. fixes Tennessee.It doesn't.If Tennessee loses ONE conservative news source…The establishment wins.The media narrative goes unchecked.And you won't even know what's being done in your name.I don't want a few large donors carrying the load.I want the thousands of people who read our reporting every week to put skin in the game.If you value truth in Tennessee, step up now.

Joan Low's journey is a testament to the power of breaking past limiting beliefs. Growing up in an average, middle-class Malaysian family as the child of a factory overseer and a government servant, Joan became a first-generation graduate. Encouraged by her parents to dream big, she left Malaysia at age 17 after securing a life-changing scholarship to a boarding school in Canada, followed by another full scholarship to a top-five liberal arts college in the US where she majored in political science. She eventually built a highly successful corporate career, which included working at J.P. Morgan and spending six years in Hong Kong. Despite her success in finance, Joan's true calling was shaped by a deeply personal struggle back home. She had a family member who had been living with severe mental health challenges for more than 25 years. Returning to Malaysia at age 30, she began conducting grassroots community workshops and quickly realized that many high-functioning corporate professionals were secretly operating under severe stress and anxiety. Recognizing that the traditional mental healthcare system was fragmented and entirely reactive, she founded ThoughtFull, a Temasek-backed digital mental health company designed to make daily, preventative mental hygiene as accessible as text messaging. Building a health-tech platform from the ground up to partner with major insurers like AIA and Great Eastern came with massive systemic challenges. Operating as a solo female founder, Joan faced a fundraising landscape that is still remarkably biased against women starting families. After hearing firsthand stories of fellow founders getting ghosted by investors upon revealing they were pregnant, Joan made the difficult decision to keep her own pregnancy a complete secret during her last capital raise. Proving her sheer grit, she successfully navigated this scale-up phase and ultimately signed the final investment contract while two centimeters dilated on a gym ball, closing her funding round and delivering her baby in the exact same week.

The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark.  Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Larry Zalkind, former principal trombone of the Utah Symphony, as well as current professor of trombone at Eastman School of Music. About Larry: Larry Zalkind's illustrious career as a trombonist began with a twist of fate: reaching the instrument line in elementary school after all the trumpets were taken. Encouraged by his teacher that he "looked like a trombone player," he set off on a path that would lead him to the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan. Under the mentorship of legends like Tommy Johnson and Robert Marsteller, Larry quickly rose to prominence, winning the audition for Principal Trombonist of the Utah Symphony while still a doctoral student—a position he held with distinction for 34 years. Beyond his long tenure in Utah, Larry's orchestral reach is vast. He has performed as Acting Associate Principal Trombone with the Los Angeles Philharmonic during Gustavo Dudamel's inaugural season and has recorded or performed with the Chicago, Atlanta, St. Louis, and Seattle Symphonies. A longtime member of the Summit Brass and a veteran of the Grand Teton Music Festival, his versatility also extends to the euphonium and solo performances with prestigious ensembles ranging from the U.S. Army Band to the Eastman Wind Ensemble. Today, Larry serves as the Trombone Professor at the renowned Eastman School of Music. He is a deeply committed educator who has held faculty positions at several colleges and mentored students at festivals across the globe. As a Yamaha Artist, his influence even extends to the instruments themselves; he was a key figure in the design and production of the Yamaha 882OR large-bore tenor and alto trombone models that he plays today. Outside of his professional life, Larry shares his musical passion with his family. He is married to violist Roberta Zalkind, whom he met as a student at the Music Academy of the West, and two of their three children have followed in their footsteps by pursuing careers in music. With three solo albums on the Summit Records label—including his latest crossover collaboration, Lost in the Stars—Larry continues to be a defining voice in the world of brass.

Thomas Martin thinks the market rotation might be “structural,” with the shift beginning last November. “Clearly, it's a switch to value over growth,” he argues, noting that we haven't seen “estimate destruction” in earnings at all. He is encouraged by AI capex spending, happy that these companies are investing in “themselves,” though he notes that there will eventually be winners and losers. His stock picks include companies that have fallen recently, including Spotify (SPOT), and Uber Technologies (UBER).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode of The Property Nerds podcast, host Arjun Paliwal, founder of InvestorKit, speaks with professional netball player Paige Hadley about the realities of elite sport and her move into property investment. Hadley explains that behind the perceived prestige of professional netball lies significant sacrifice, uncertainty, and relentless commitment. Aware that an athletic career is finite, she began prioritising long-term financial security and life beyond the court. Encouraged by wellbeing managers, she pursued further education and explored business opportunities. Initially daunted by the complexities of investing, Hadley credits InvestorKit for providing the guidance and expertise needed to get started. She applied the same analytical mindset used in sports, relying on data and a trusted team to make informed decisions, such as when investing outside NSW. Hadley also encourages women to build financial literacy and recognise that investing is possible without a high income. As she prepares for motherhood, she says investing in property has given her financial stability and the freedom to focus on family.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Chef Jeff Strauss, the creative force behind Oy Bar and Jeff's Table, about his journey from Hollywood comedy writer to LA food innovator.   "I have cooked with joy and passion and love for most of my life," he says.   For more than 30 years, Strauss worked as a writer and producer on shows like Friends, Dream On, and Reba, all while quietly nurturing a lifelong love of cooking and bringing people together through food. Encouraged by his wife, who was also in the biz, he finally took the leap , opening Jeff's Table in 2019 and Oy Bar in 2022.   Jeff Strauss talks about his Jewish and food-lover roots and chef origin story. He also dives into his deep appreciation of global flavors - and how they inform his cuisine, his love of Los Angeles' multicultural food scene, and his philosophy that "food is a way that cultures speak to each other, even when sometimes the cultures themselves won't talk." The chef also shares his recipe for Emergency Jewish Deli Dill Pickles, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.   Learn more at OyBarLA.com and JeffsTableLA.com, and follow @OyBarLA and @Jeffs___Table on Instagram. For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

Guest: Padraic Scanlan. Scanlan explains the Victorian view of the famine through the lens of economist Thomas Malthus, who believed the "generous" potato encouraged overpopulation. He notes that British policymakers viewed the famine as a natural, inevitable correction and feared that providing aid would discourage the Irish poor from developing a "civilized" work ethic.

Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saint John Bosco Saint John Bosco's Story Saint John Bosco's theory of education could well be used in today's schools. It was a preventive system, rejecting corporal punishment and placing students in surroundings removed from the likelihood of committing sin. He advocated frequent reception of the sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion. He combined catechetical training and fatherly guidance, seeking to unite the spiritual life with one's work, study and play. Encouraged during his youth in Turin to become a priest so he could work with young boys, Saint John Bosco was ordained in 1841. His service to young people started when he met a poor orphan in Turin, and instructed him in preparation for receiving Holy Communion. He then gathered young apprentices and taught them catechism. After serving as chaplain in a hospice for working girls, Don Bosco opened the Oratory of St. Francis de Sales for boys. Several wealthy and powerful patrons contributed money, enabling him to provide two workshops for the boys, shoemaking and tailoring. By 1856, the institution had grown to 150 boys and had added a printing press for publication of religious and catechetical pamphlets. John's interest in vocational education and publishing justify him as patron of young apprentices and Catholic publishers. Saint John Bosco's preaching fame spread and by 1850 he had trained his own helpers because of difficulties in retaining young priests. In 1854, he and his followers informally banded together, inspired by Saint Francis de Sales. With Pope Pius IX's encouragement, John gathered 17 men and founded the Salesians in 1859. Their activity concentrated on education and mission work. Later, he organized a group of Salesian Sisters to assist girls. Reflection John Bosco educated the whole person—body and soul united. He believed that Christ's love and our faith in that love should pervade everything we do—work, study, play. For John Bosco, being a Christian was a full-time effort, not a once-a-week, Mass-on-Sunday experience. It is searching and finding God and Jesus in everything we do, letting their love lead us. Yet, because John realized the importance of job-training and the self-worth and pride that come with talent and ability, he trained his students in the trade crafts, too.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
