This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Morten, welcome back to the program. Thanks, Allen. It’s fantastic to be back again. Boy, we have a lot to discuss and today we’re gonna focus on categorization of damage, which is a super hot topic across the industry. What does a cat five mean? What does a category three mean? What does a category 5.9 I’ve I’ve seen that more recently. Why do these defect categories matter? Morten Handberg: Well, it matters a lot because it really tells you as, uh, either an OEM or as an operator, how should you respond to your current blade issue. So you need to have some kind of categorization about what the defect type is and what the severity is. The severity will tell you something about the repairability and [00:01:00] also something about the part of the blade that is affected. The type of the defect tells you something about what is the origin From an operational point of view, it doesn’t make as much sense in a way because you really just wanna know, can this be repaired or not? You know? And you know, what does it need to repair? That’s what you need, what you really need to focus on as an operator, whether it’s then del elimination, erosion, peeling. Uh, transverse cracks, it’ll all come down to repairs. It does matter for you because it will tell you an underlying, you know, are there reason why I’m keep seeing all these damages? So that’s why you need to know the category as well. But purely operational. You just need to know what is the severity side know, what does it take to repair it? Allen Hall: So as the operator, a lot of times they’re getting information from different service providers or even the OEM. They’re getting multiple inputs on what a damage is in terms of a category. Are we getting a lot of conflicting information about this? Because the complaint from [00:02:00] I hear from operators is the OE EMM says this is a category four. The ISP says is a category five. Who am I to believe right Morten Handberg: now? Well, there is a lot of, a bit different opinions of that. It almost becomes a religious issue question at some point, but it, it really dives down to that, you know, there is no real standardization in the wind industry. And we’ve been discussing this, uh, I wanna say decades, probably not that much, but at least for the past 11 years I’ve been, been hearing this discussion come up. Uh, so it’s, it’s something this was just been struggling with, but it also comes down to that. Each OEM have their own origin. Uh, so that also means that they have trended something from aeronautics, from ship building industry, from, you know, uh, from, from some other composite related industry, or maybe not even composite related. And that means that they are building their own, uh, their own truth about what the different defects are. There is a lot of correlation between them, but there is still a lot of, lot of tweaks [00:03:00] and definitions in between and different nomenclature. That does add a a lot of confusion. Allen Hall: Okay, Morten Handberg: so Allen Hall: that explains, I mean, because there isn’t an industry standard at the moment. There is talk of an industry standard, but it does seem like from watching from the outside, that Europe generally has one, or operators specifically have one. Uh, EPRI’s been working on one for a little while. Maybe the IEC is working on one, but there isn’t like a universal standard today. Morten Handberg: There is not a universal standard. I mean, a lot of, a lot of OEMs or service providers will, will, will claim that they have the standard, they have the definition in wind power lab. We have our own. That we have derived from the industry and in, in general. But there is not an, uh, an industry agreed standard that everyone adheres to. That much is true. You could say in Europe, a lot of owners have come together, uh, in the Blade Forum, and they have derived, there’s a standard within that. Um, uh, and with a lot of success, they’d written, the [00:04:00] Blade Hamburg I think was very helpful because it was operator driven, um, approach. Allen Hall: So there is a difference then between defects that are significant and maybe even classified as critical and other defects that may be in the same location on the blade. How are those determined? Morten Handberg: The way that I’ve always approached is that I will look at firstly what kind of blades type it is. So how is it structured? Where are the load carrying elements of the blade? That’s very important because you can’t really say on a business V 90 and a Siemens, uh, 3.6 that the defect in the same position will mean the same thing. That’s just not true because they are structured in very different ways. So you really need to look at the plate type just to start with. Then you need to look at, is it in a. In a loaded part of the blade, meaning is it over the, the load carrying part, um, uh, laminates? Is it in a, in a shell area? And you know, what is the approximate distance from the roof? Is that, that also tells you something [00:05:00] about the general loads in the area. So you know, you need to take that into consideration. Then you also need to look at how much of the blade is actually affected. Is it just surface layers? Is it just coating or is it something that goes, uh, through the entire laminate stack? And if that is on the, on the beam laminate, you’re in serious trouble. Then it will be a category five. If the beam laminate is vectored. And if you’re lucky enough that your blade is still sitting on the turbine, you should stop it, uh, to avoid a complete BA bait collapse. Uh, so, so you need, so, so that, you know, you can, that, that is very important when you’re doing defect categorizations. So that means that you need Allen Hall: internal inspections on top of external Morten Handberg: inspections. If you see something, uh, that is potentially critical, then yeah, you should do an internal inspection as well to verify whether it’s going through, um, the entire lemonade stack or not. That that’s a, that’s a good, good, good approach. Um, I would say often, you know, if you see something that is potentially critical, uh, but there is still a possibility that could be repaired. Then I might even also just send up a repair [00:06:00] team, uh, to see, you know, look from the outside how much of the area is actually affected, because that can also pretty quickly give you an indication, do we need to take this blade down or not? Sometimes you’ll just see it flat out that, okay, this crack is X meters long, it’s over sensitive area of the blade. You know, we need to remove this blade. Uh, maybe when, once it’s down we can determine whether it’s repairable or not, but. We, but it’s not something that’s going to be fixed up tower, so there’s not a lot of need for doing a lot of added, um, add added inspections to verify this, this point. Allen Hall: Let’s talk about cracks for a moment, because I’ve seen a lot of cracks over the last year on blades and some of them to me look scary because they, they are going transverse and then they take a 90 degree and start moving a different direction. Is there a, a rule of thumb about cracks that are visual on the outside of the blade? Like if it’s how, if they’re [00:07:00] closer to the root they’re more critical than they’re, if they’re happening further outers or is there not a rule of thumb? You have to understand what the design of the blade is. Morten Handberg: Well, I mean the general rule of thumb is transfers cracks is a major issue that’s really bad. That’s, uh, you know, it’s a clear sign, something. Severely structural is going on because the transverse crack does not develop or develop on its own. And more likely not once it starts, you know, then the, uh, the, the strain boundaries on the sides of the cr of the crack means that it requires very little for it to progress. So even if in a relatively low loaded area with low strain, once you have a, a transverse crack, uh, present there, then it will continue. Uh, and you mentioned that it’s good during a 90 degree. That’s just because it’s doing, it’s, it’s taking the least path of the path of least resistance, because it’ll have got caught through the entire shell. Then when it reaches the beam, the beam is healthy. It’s very stiff, very rigid laminate. So it’s easier for it to go longitudinal towards the [00:08:00] root because that’s, that, that, that’s how it can progress. That’s where it has the, uh, you know, the, the, the strain, uh, um, the, the strain high, high enough strain that it can actually, uh, develop. That that’s what it would do. So transverse cracks in general is really bad. Of course, closer to root means it’s more critical. Um, if there is a crack transverse crack, uh, very far out in the tip, I would usually say, you know, in the tip area, five, 10 meter from the tip, I would say, okay, there’s something else going on. Something non load related. Probably causes, could be a lightning strike, could be an impact damage. That changed the calculation a little bit because then, you know, it’s not a load driven issue. So that might give you some time to, you know, that you can operate with something at least. But again, I, I don’t want to make any general rules that people then didn’t go out and say, well, I did that, so, and, but my blade still broke. That’s not really how it works. You need to really, you need to, to, uh, look at cracks like that individually. You can’t make a a common rule. Allen Hall: Another [00:09:00] area, which is under discussion across the industry are surface defects and there are a variety of surface defects. We’re seeing a lot of hail damage this year. Uh, that’s getting categorized as lightning damage. And so there’s obviously a different kind of repair going on. Hail versus lightning. Are there some standards regarding surface defects? Uh, the visuals on them? Is there a guideline about Morten Handberg: it? Well, I mean, uh, some of the, uh, some of the, how do you say, omic couture, some of the, uh, some of the standards, they do provide some guideline to determine which surface kind of surface defect it is, you could say, on the operational points, as long as it’s surface related. Then the repair methodology is the same, whether it’s peeling, erosion, voids, chipping scratches, the repair is the same. So that in principle does not change anything. But in the reason why it matters is because we need to understand the [00:10:00] underlying issue. So if you have lot of peeling, for instance, it means you have a very low quoting quality, and that is something that is either post post repair related or it’s manufacturing related, depending on the blade, on the age of your blade. So that’s very important for you to know because if you have peeling somewhere, then more likely than not, you’ll also have have issues with it elsewhere because, you know, tend to, they tend to follow each other, you know, coding quality issues. So that’s a good thing to know for you as an operator that you, this is just one of many, erosion is important, but often gets miscategorized because erosion is a leading edge issue. Um, so we only see it on the, on the very edge of the leading edge. So approximately 40 millimeter band. That’s typically what we see, and it’s straight on the leading edge. So if someone’s claiming that they see lead, leading edge erosion on the, on the pressure side, shell or ide, shell, it’s miscategorizing because that’s what you, that’s not why they have to have the ring. Uh, impacts ring can still, still [00:11:00] hit the shells, but when it hits the, the, the shell areas, it will ricochet because it hits it at an angle. Leading edge gets straight on. So it gets the entire impact force and that’s why you get the erosion issue because of, of fatigue essentially. Uh, coding fatigue. So that’s very important. There is something that you know you can really utilize if you just know that simple fact that it’s always a leading edge, it’s always uniform. It, you can track that. And if you have leading edge erosion in one area, you will have it in the entire wind farm. So you don’t need to do that much inspection to determine your erosion levels, voids, pinholes. They are manufacturing driven because they are driven by either imperfections in the coating, meaning you have a sand, grain dust, or you had, uh, air inclusions underneath your coating. And they will weaken the structure. And that means that, um, rain effect or other effects causing strain on your coating will accelerate a lot faster. So they will develop and create these small, um, yeah, uh, how do you [00:12:00] say, small defined holes in your coating. So that’s why it’s important to know. But if you’re running a wind farm 15 years, 10 years down the line. Then it’s more important for you to know that it’s a surface defect and you need to fix it by doing coating repair. You don’t need to think so much about the, the underlying issue, I would say. Allen Hall: Okay. I think that’s been miscategorized a number of times. I’ve seen what I would consider to be some sort of paint adhesion issue because it’s sort of mid cord and not near the leading edge, but sometimes it just looks like there’s massive peeling going on and maybe, uh, it’s easy to assume that maybe is erosion. It’s just a weak adhesion of paint. That that’s what you’re saying? Morten Handberg: Yeah. If it’s, if it’s midspan, if it’s shell related, then it’s, it’s a, it’s a coating quality related issue. It doesn’t really have anything to do with erosion. Um, you could say erosion. We can, we can, we can, uh, we can look at in, in, in two areas. So you have the out or third of the leading edge. [00:13:00] That’s where you would have the theoretical leading edge erosion breakdown, because that’s where you have rain impact high enough that it will cause some kind of degradation, but that all of your leading edge will suffer in the same way because the tip speed of the outer four meters of your blade. Versus the re the other, you know, uh, 10, 12 meters depending on length of your blade. Sometimes it’s a lot longer, but they are getting degraded in a much different way. So the out of pew meters, they can get what’s called structural erosion. So that means that the erosion goes fast enough and it’s progressive enough that you can start to damage the laminate underneath. You won’t see that further in because the, the impact is just not that great and you will likely not see structural erosion over the lifetime, but the out a few meters, that’s important. And that’s where you need, need to focus your, that that’s where you need to pay attention on what kind of materials you add because that can save you a lot of repair, re, re repair. And, uh, down the line, how do you categorize Allen Hall: leading edge erosion? A lot of [00:14:00] times I see it, uh, from operators. Let’s say it’s, uh, category four because it’s into the fiber. But is it always a structural issue? Is there a lot of loading on the leading edges of these blades where you would have to come back with structural applies to repair it? Or is it just a aerodynamic shape and does it really depend upon who the OE Em is? Morten Handberg: Well, I mean, I’ve seen erosion category five as well, and I think it’s a mis misinterpretation. I think it’s, you know, people are trying it to raise awareness that, hey, there was a serious issue with erosion, but it’s a wrong way to use the severities. Because if we look at severity five, severity five, if you have a critical issue, your blade is about to come down if you don’t do anything. So category five means you need to stop your turbine. Maybe you can repair it, but that really depends on the, uh, on what is damaged by, on, on, on the blade. And you can determine that once you removed it and looked at it on, on, on the ground. But you need to stop. Category four is a severe structural damage. It’s not something that [00:15:00] is causing an immediate threat, but it’s something that will progress rapidly if you don’t do anything. So here you need to look at the damage itself. So how does it affect the structure and can you operate it curtailed, uh, or can you operate it, uh, or can you operate normally and repair it within a short time window? That’s what you can use because it’s something that is. Uh, that can, that can develop into an, into an imminent issue if you don’t react to it. Severity three is more for your, is more your annual maintenance schedule. So that is your, your minor structural damages and it’s your erosion issues. So that’s something that there is a severity Three, you need to look at it for next year’s budget. Severity two means that. Something that’s gradually degradating your coating on the blade, but it’s not something that means anything at this point in time. So one is your coating, is your surface damage or minor surface damage. Pinholes uh, contamination. It’s really light issue, so it’s not something you really need to consider. So. [00:16:00] Severity ones, you, you really mean that, that it’s, you don’t need to think about this anymore. You know, it’s, it’s not an issue. So erosion will fall typically within severity two to severity four. Severity four being you have a hole in your blade from erosion, basically. Uh, because you can still have structural degradation of deleting it and still being a severity three, because it does not really change your maintenance cycle in any, in any way. You don’t need to do anything immediate to fix it. Um, so that’s why I would put most of erosion defects in severity three and just say, okay, it’s something we need to plan a leading edge, a leading edge ERO repair campaign next year or the year after, depending on the severity of it. That’s why, how I, I would approach, Allen Hall: that’s good insight, because I do think a lot of operators, when they do see a hole in the leading edge, think I have to stop this turbine. But at the same token, I have seen other operators with holes. I could put my fist through. That are continuing to use those blades and they will say, it’s not structural, it’s not [00:17:00] great aerodynamically, but the, we’re still making power here. We’re still making rated power. Even with the hole and the leading edge, it’s not going to progress anymore. It’s a, it’s a, it’s a progression that we understand. That’s how they describe it. It will get worse, but it’s not gonna get catastrophic worse. Morten Handberg: I mean, if you run it long enough, at some point, something secondary will happen. Sure. But again, that’s also why we use the severity four category for erosion, where you have severe structural degradation because it does starting to mean something for the integrity of the blade. It will not mean that it’s coming down right away when you see a hole in the blade from erosion. That’s, that’s the entire purpose of it. But it does it, you use it to raise awareness that there is something you need to look at imminently or at least react to, uh, and make a plan for. You can’t just pull, you can’t just delay it until next year’s, uh, maintenance campaign. We have an active issue here, so that’s why I think severity four applies to erosion. That has penetrated all structural layers. Allen Hall: Are there some [00:18:00] blade damages that are just can’t be repaired or, or just have too much difficulty to repair them, that it’s not worth it? And how do you know? How do you understand? That blade is not repairable versus the one next to it which looks similar, which can be repaired. What goes into that assessment? Morten Handberg: So one is, is the, is the beam laminate damaged? If it is, then uh, either it comes down to a commercial decision. It’s simply not fixable and, and restoring it in, you know, restoring it back, uh, to original form ship. And there’s also the, the, uh, the, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, uh, returning element of carbon fiber, because carbon fiber adds another level of complexity repairs, because you’re so dependent on the pristine quality of the carbon for it to, to, for, to utilize the, the, uh, mechanical strength of carbon. And if you, if you don’t apply it in the right way, then you can create some high stress zones. Where, you know, the [00:19:00] cure is as bad as the disease really. So that’s why you have to be extra careful with carbon repairs. But they can be done. But it, you know, it really comes down to a commercial decision then. So in principle, unless the blade is deformed, uh, or, or, or damaged in such a way that you have to remove a large part of the s shell lemonade in a loaded area, then most things they can, in principle, be repaired. It’s just a matter of is the, is the cost of the repair. Cheaper than the cost of a new blade. And that calculation might, you know, depend on are there any, any spare blades available? Is this blade, uh, still in production? And if I don’t repair this, then I don’t have any blade for my turbine and then I can’t operate anymore. That also changed the calculus right along quite a lot, so I think. For a lot of damages. It, it’s more of a, it’s often more of a commercial decision rather than a technical, because ca glass fiber is very forgiving. You can repair a lot, even if it’s really severe. I mean, I’ve seen blade repairs that took [00:20:00] 3000 hours, but it was deemed worthwhile because you couldn’t get a, a bare blade. And in most other cases, that would’ve been been scrapped, you know, without, you know, without blinking. Um, so, so, you know, if you really want to, you could repair it. In a lot of cases, Allen Hall: how difficult is it to repair carbon protrusions, because it does seem like when they manufacture those protrusions, there’s a lot of quality control going into it. The fibers have to be in the right direction all the time, and they’re really compacted in there. They’re tight, tight block of carbon that you’re purchasing and sliding into into this blade. Are they really repairable in sections or is it you have to take out the whole length of a pultrusion and replace it? I’m, I’m trying to understand the difficulty here because there’s a lot of operators in the United States now that have some portion of their fleet is carbon spar cap, not a lot of it, but some of it. How [00:21:00] difficult is that to repair? Morten Handberg: Well, it’s difficult enough that a lot of OEMs, they will say if you have a damage to the carbon, it’s a non-repairable defect. That is to a large extent the general rule. Um, there are, there are, uh, there are ways and some of it is replacement of the protrusion. Um, other, another method is, is to do a vacuum infusion lamination. I’ve also seen some repairs with success where, uh, glass fiber is utilized instead of carbon fiber. So you reply, so you, you, um, you calculate the mechanical strength of the carbon. And then replace that with an equal amount, you know, strength wise of glass fiber. The problem is you are to a degree playing with little bit with fire because you are then changing the structure of the blade. You are increasing the thickness and thereby you are changing the stiffness. So it’s, you have to be really [00:22:00] careful, uh, it’s possible. And uh, again. All if all other options are out and you want this blade really to get up and running again because it’s your only option. Maybe it’s worthwhile to, to investigate, but it requires a lot of insight in and also a little bit of, uh, how do you say, uh, you don’t, you shouldn’t be too risk adverse if you go down that that route, but, but again, it is possible. It is technically possible. But it’s something you do for the outer, uh, outer areas of the blade where you have less loads and you’re less sensitive. Allen Hall: Can those carbon repairs be done up tower or are they always done with the rotor set or the blade drop down to ground? Morten Handberg: I know some carbon repairs have been done up tower, but in general it’s down tower also, just because if you have damage to your carbon, it means you have a severe structural issue. So you wouldn’t generally try to do it that well, I would, not in general, but, but the, the, the cases I’ve seen that, that has been downturn repairs. Yeah. Allen Hall: Do you think about the categories differently? If it includes carbon [00:23:00] as a structural element? Morten Handberg: No, because carbon is part of the load carrying laminate. If you’re to the load carrying laminate, then it becomes a four or five immediately. Um, so, uh, so I would say the same rule applies because ag again, it’s a very rough scale, but it applied, but it gives you a sense of where, you know, what is the urgency, which is what I think we in generally need. And I like the more simple model because it’s more applicable to the general industry and it’s easier for, uh, you know, it’s easier to, to implement. Um. And it is easier to understand than if you have a too too gradual, uh, scale because it’s difficult for the people who are sitting and assessing to determine if, uh, you know, what, what category it is. And it’s difficult for the people who have to read the report afterwards. And it’s also about, you know, what is the purpose? And in general, I would say, well, this, the defect categorization, the severe categorization is to determine can this be repaired or not? That’s what we use it [00:24:00] for. So that, that, that’s how we, it should be applied. Allen Hall: Is the industry going to have a universal standard? Soon. Is that possible? Or is this really gonna be country by country, region by region? How we think about blade defects and blade repairs? Morten Handberg: I think that. Given the, uh, the, how do you say, the individual interests in having their own model from the different OEMs or service providers? I think the, when they’re choosing a pope, they have an easy task ahead of them, you know, deciding that. Then we have the agreeing on an on inte standard and on plate. Allen Hall: Pope is currently an American, so that tells you something. The world has shifted. There is still hope. Maybe there is still hope because it, it is a very difficult problem and I hear a lot of conflicting opinions about it and they’re not wrong. The opinions I hear when they’re explained to me, they have a rationale as to why. They’re calling something a cat four versus a cat three. [00:25:00] It all makes sense, but when you get two engineers in the room, they’re rarely are going to agree. So I’m just thinking maybe, maybe there isn’t a, a yeah, maybe there isn’t a time where we’re all gonna come together. Morten Handberg: I think that, you know, it’s, it’s also about what are you willing to accept and what are you willing to s. You know, as an OEM, as a blade engineer, as a service provider, in order to make common agreement. Because I think if we were willing to, you know, set aside differences, um, and then agree on, okay, what is the, what, what is that, what is the, the ma the industry needs and what, what fulfills the purpose? We could agree tomorrow, but that’s not where we are, uh, at the moment. So, so I don’t see that happening anytime soon. But yes, there, there was a way to do an in to make an international standard. Um, for blades and I, I would say maybe it’s, if the IC made, made, made one, then maybe that that could, uh, that could fix it. Uh, maybe if, uh, they’re starting to become more [00:26:00]focused from governments, uh, and you know, that it wind industry becomes recognized as critical infrastructure. That then there is a requirement for international standards on what are defects, to make it easier to determine what is critical or not, so that proper reaction can be made. That will also help it. But again, as long as it’s only about late experts having to agree with each other and that’s the only then, then we’re, then we will not get to a point where we’re going to agree on, on everything. No. Allen Hall: Wow. This is a continual discussion about blade defects and categorization and Morton. I really appreciate. You’re giving us your thoughts about it because I trust you one and two, you’re on the leading edge of what the industry is thinking. So it’s very good to get you in here and explain where categorization is and, and two operators that are listening to this podcast understand you’re probably getting a lot of different opinions about categorization. You need to sit down and figure it out for yourself, or reach out to Morton who can explain what you should be thinking and how you should be [00:27:00]thinking about this problem. Morton, how do people get ahold of you to learn more? Morten Handberg: Easiest way is to reach out to me on LinkedIn. Um, I have a very active profile there. You can always write me and I’ll always write, write, write it back. You can also write to me on my company email, m me h@windpowerapp.com. Um, those are the two easiest way to get, uh, get in, in, uh, get in touch me. And I would say, as an owner, what you need to know. Is it a structural issue or is a surface issue you have? And then plan your repairs from there. That is, that is the. Basic, yeah, that, that you need to have, and then forget about the others, the other side of it, you know, if it’s one defect type or another, that’s not necessarily what’s going to help you. It’s all about getting the blades repaired. And, uh, and the turbine up and running again. That should be the focus. Allen Hall: Absolutely. Morton, we love having you on the podcast. Thank you so much for joining us. It’s good to be here. See [00:28:00] you.

The primary focus of today's discourse revolves around the significant meteorological phenomena currently impacting the Pacific Northwest and broader regions, particularly the atmospheric river event poised to unleash excessive rainfall and potential flooding through the evening. I shall elucidate the ongoing weather developments, including the implications of a powerful Pacific storm that is intensifying conditions across western Washington and Oregon. Furthermore, we will convey pertinent information regarding the hazardous winter weather conditions anticipated in Wyoming, Idaho, and parts of Montana, characterized by substantial snowfall and challenging travel conditions. In addition, I will provide updates on the recent magnitude 7.0 earthquake near the Alaska Yukon border, which has generated a sequence of aftershocks, albeit without any reported major damage. As we proceed, I will also address the anticipated geomagnetic storm, which may yield auroral displays further south and could impart minor impacts on power communications.Takeaways:* The Pacific storm currently affecting the Northwest is causing significant rainfall and flood risks. * Western Washington and Oregon are expected to experience hazardous conditions due to heavy rain and river rises. * Wyoming, Idaho, and parts of Montana are facing challenging travel conditions due to winter weather impacts. * The magnitude 7.0 earthquake near the Alaska Yukon border has resulted in ongoing aftershocks but no major damage. * The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings and advisories for multiple states due to impending severe weather. * NOAA has issued a geomagnetic storm watch that may result in auroras and minor power impacts in the coming days.

The salient point of today's discourse revolves around the imminent weather developments across the United States, particularly emphasizing the marginal risk of excessive rainfall along the central Gulf coast and the anticipated atmospheric river affecting the Pacific Northwest. I elucidate the potential for localized flash flooding in coastal regions due to persistent showers. Concurrently, I provide updates regarding winter weather advisories and warnings for several states, including Michigan and Colorado, where hazardous travel is expected due to heavy snowfall. Additionally, I draw attention to the coastal flood advisories in various regions, underscoring the need for vigilance as high tides may lead to minor inundation. This comprehensive weather briefing serves to prepare our audience for the diverse meteorological challenges that lie ahead.Takeaways:* The Weather Prediction Center has issued a Day One marginal risk for excessive rainfall along the central Gulf Coast, indicating possible weather-related impacts. * Localized flash flooding is anticipated in areas where persistent showers develop near coastal regions, necessitating vigilance among residents. * A strong atmospheric river event is forecasted for the Pacific Northwest early next week, which may influence local weather patterns significantly. * Winter weather advisories remain active across multiple states, including Alaska and Michigan, highlighting ongoing hazardous conditions due to snow and freezing temperatures. * Coastal flood advisories have been issued for various regions, including North Carolina and Oregon, in response to high tide events that may lead to minor inundation. * Overall, careful monitoring of weather patterns and advisories is essential as conditions continue to evolve across the United States.

Want the promotion without the pitfall? We sit down with leadership expert John Eades to unpack how a painful early failure turned into a calling to help managers become leaders who elevate others. The story starts with a shiny new title and all the wrong motives—and turns into a wake-up call about clarity, vision, and the responsibility to serve.We draw a clear line between management and leadership: tasks versus transformation. John lays out a practical foundation—character that earns trust, vision that offers hope, and coaching that helps people grow—and then stacks advanced skills like competent humility, emotional mastery, and persuasive communication. For real estate teams and any high-performance culture, the message is simple: care authentically and demand consistently. Either one alone creates imbalance; together they unlock sustainable results.We also go deep on application. Knowledge without action won't move a market. You'll hear how to turn inputs into outcomes, why “E + R = O” keeps your response from hijacking your results, and how belief transfers from leader to agent when stakes are highest. Then we challenge incrementalism: ditch the safe 10% target and set an impossible goal that forces new behavior—better systems, bold storytelling, sharper prospecting, and consistent follow-through. Whether you hit the exact number is secondary to who you become by aiming higher.If you're ready to replace shortcuts with standards, turn feedback into fuel, and build a culture where performance and people both thrive, this conversation is your playbook. Subscribe, share with a teammate who needs the nudge, and leave a review with your impossible goal for 2026—we'll cheer you on.

In part two, the government's smartphone ban in schools wasn't met with enthusiasm by everyone, but a new ERO report says it's been a success so far. Stratford High School principal Cameron Stone discusses how it's worked in his school. Then, having a child is a joy, but sometimes parents need to let loose. And one group is making that happen by hosting 'Mum Raves' across the country.

The Education Minister's not ruling out banning other digital distractions in schools. An Education Review Office report shows three-quarters of secondary school teachers believe student behaviour's improved since cellphones were outlawed in class. It's also recommending considering also excluding smart watches and social media. Education Minister Erica Stanford says she's open to the ideas. "We're certainly going to take ERO's recommendations into account and I'll get the Ministry to give me some advice, but I certainly think we probably do need to go further. But that'll obviously be a decision I need to take to Cabinet." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NZ First is looking to repeal the Regulatory Standards Act ahead of the election. ACT's David Seymour isn't thrilled - what do we make of this? What's Winston's plan here? The Government has officially recognised feral cats as pests and added them to the Predator Free 2050 list. Do we think this is a good idea? What are the risks here? New research shows the ban on phones in schools is working - but the ERO recommends the Government can go further. Do we need social media restrictions next? Heather was at last night's Metallica concert and she saw a fan in the stands rocking out - before he was encouraged to sit down. Heather says fans should be able to stand and move at concerts if you want - do we agree? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Banning mobile phones in school has led to improved learning and behaviour - and the Education Review Office says social media should be next. Ruth Shinoda, Head of ERO's Education Evaluation Centre spoke to Corin Dann.

Schools need more support from parents to get the most out a student phone ban. A "phones away for the day" policy's been in place since Term Two last year. An Education Review Office report shows two thirds of teachers saw a rise in student achievement, but only half of students are following the rules. Head of ERO Education Evaluation Centre Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking the number one reason students contravene the ban is to contact family. She says parents should phone the school office instead of their child, and shouldn't answer if their child calls. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Margherita, 26 anni, cresce a Cutrofiano in una famiglia dove i soldi “non mancano” ma si nominano a bassa voce. Dal padre, ingegnere informatico salito per gradi dalle radici contadine, eredita una bussola severa: ogni spesa è una responsabilità. «Per molti spendere è libertà o espressione. Io invece—anche da bambina—ci pensavo mille volte prima di farlo». Studia Economia a Ferrara, si laurea con il massimo dei voti, poi la magistrale in Marketing a Torino: sempre in pari, mai un “colpo a vuoto”. In testa, un obiettivo chiaro: far sì che le spese sostenute dai genitori durino il meno possibile.Poi, finita l'università, la promessa del merito si sgonfia. «Avevo già dato tutto nello studio. Ero pronta a mostrare ciò che avevo imparato e a diventare indipendente. Ma non è stato così semplice». Torna in Puglia, torna in famiglia, torna l'ansia di “pesare”. I dati lo confermano: a due anni dal titolo, la disoccupazione tra i neolaureati resta intorno al 9–11%. «Non si parla abbastanza di quanto sia difficile il passaggio dall'università al lavoro», dice. Dopo centinaia di candidature, trova un posto nel marketing: prima stage da 700 euro al mese, poi apprendistato triennale da 1.200. I conti tornano perché vive a Gallipoli in una casa dei genitori, ma il lavoro non è quello che immaginava: «Mi sentivo regredita sotto ogni punto di vista… Non era la carriera da film che avevo pensato».L'overqualification logora fiducia e portafogli. Finché il padre le suggerisce ciò che lei non avrebbe osato: un master. Margherita fa i conti e capisce che con i risparmi dei primi due anni può coprire l'affitto a Roma, mentre per la retta ricorre a un prestito d'onore.È l'ennesima spesa “per studiare”, ma anche un tentativo di riallineare desideri e realtà, paura e ambizione. «Mi sento in colpa, ma sapere che i miei non stanno sacrificando nulla mi alleggerisce. Se dovesse andare male, ho tutta la vita per poter recuperare i soldi spesi». La sua storia parla di una generazione che paga—in tempo e denaro—il pedaggio tra laurea e lavoro. Dove l'educazione all'autonomia è anche imparare quando investire ancora su di sé.

The salient point of today's discussion pertains to the impending adverse weather conditions across various states as a fast-moving cold front approaches the Northeast. We elucidate the potential ramifications of this meteorological phenomenon, including gusty winds and scattered showers, which are anticipated to affect numerous regions. Furthermore, we highlight the marine gales and the resultant hazardous surf conditions on the Great Lakes and Gulf of Maine, as well as the marginal flood risks in western Washington and northwest Oregon. Our analysis extends to specific states, detailing the surf hazards in California and the gale conditions prevalent in Michigan and Ohio. As we conclude, we emphasize the importance of remaining vigilant and informed as these weather patterns develop.Takeaways:* A fast-moving cold front is expected to sweep through the Northeast today, bringing gusty winds and scattered showers.* Marine gales and rough surf conditions are anticipated on the Great Lakes and Gulf of Maine due to the approaching weather system.* A marginal flood risk persists over parts of western Washington and northwest Oregon as a wet Pacific pattern commences.* Residents of Mason County should prepare for potential river rises later in the week, particularly on the Skokomish River.* In California, hazardous surf conditions are anticipated as a strengthening Pacific system begins to affect the Bay Area today.* Marine hazards are prevalent across multiple states, including gale conditions and significant wave heights on regional lakes.Sources[NWS | https://www.weather.gov/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/][USGS Earthquake Feeds | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/][NWS Bay Area hazard page | https://www.weather.gov/mtr/][NWS AFDMTR 4:05 AM PST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=mtr&product=AFD&issuedby=MTR][NDBC Marine Forecast KMTR | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KMTR.html][SFGATE forecast update, published today | https://www.sfgate.com/weather/article/bay-area-widespread-rain-thunder-wind-weather-21134293.php][NWS Gray ME hazards | https://www.weather.gov/gyx/][NWS Boston/BOX marine hazards page | https://www.weather.gov/box/marine][NWS Detroit AFD 4:46 AM EST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=DTX&product=AFD&issuedby=DTX][USCG/NWS Sector Detroit marine dashboard (Lake Erie waveheights/gale) | https://www.weather.gov/dtx/uscg_sectordetroit][NWS Cleveland Nearshore/LE Marine Forecast | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS61.KCLE.html][NWS Portland hazards | https://www.weather.gov/pqr/][NWS Marine Forecast KPQR | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KPQR.html][NWS Seattle Hydrologic Outlook 3:10 AM PST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=WAZ321&warncounty=WAC045&product1=Hydrologic+Outlook][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero] This is a public episode.

C'è stato un momento in cui non mi riconoscevo più. Sapevo cosa dovevo fare, e lo facevo.  Ma dentro? Calma piatta.  Ero ovunque… tranne che con me. Sai, non serve una crisi, un trauma, una tragedia… per spegnersi. Basta trascurarti un po' ogni giorno e restare dove senti che non ci sei più. E così ti spegni, piano piano.  Ma la tua scintilla non muore. Si nasconde. Si addormenta. Si mette da parte, ma rimane.  E aspetta che ti ricordi chi sei. Quella che sente. Che vive. Che arde. Nel nuovo podcast ti parlo di cosa mi ha aiutata nel ritrovare la mia luce. E ti condivido 3 passi che mi hanno guidata nel ritrovare la mia scintilla.    ✨ Ed ora: vorresti ritrovarla anche tu?

The salient point of this podcast episode revolves around the significant impact of Hurricane Melissa, which has made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 storm and is progressing northeastward towards the Bahamas. We meticulously delineate the potential hazards arising from this weather event, notably the elevated risk of rip currents and rough surf along the southeastern coast of the United States, particularly Florida. Additionally, the episode elaborates on various weather alerts, including a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, as well as a potential severe weather risk in eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia. We also address the imminent arrival of a moderate atmospheric river in the Pacific Northwest, which is expected to bring substantial rainfall. Furthermore, we discuss FEMA's recent allocation of over $1 billion in federal funding to enhance safety measures in the host cities for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.Hurricane Melissa has emerged as a formidable force, having made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane, with its trajectory now directing it towards the Bahamas. Although the United States currently has no active watches, the ramifications of Hurricane Melissa are being felt along the southeastern coast, particularly in Florida, where the risk of rip currents and rough surf is markedly elevated. The National Weather Service has issued warnings to coastal residents and beachgoers to exercise caution due to these dangerous conditions, emphasizing the importance of heeding safety advisories during such severe weather events.In addition to the impact of Hurricane Melissa, the Weather Prediction Center has highlighted a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, extending into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. This is attributed to the influx of rain that is expected to saturate these regions today. Concurrently, the Storm Prediction Center has indicated a marginal severe weather risk for eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia, suggesting the potential for isolated severe thunderstorms later in the evening. The confluence of these weather patterns necessitates vigilant monitoring and preparedness among local residents.Furthermore, looking towards the Pacific Northwest, a moderate atmospheric river is anticipated to commence its influence on Friday and Saturday, with the Weather Prediction Center flagging a marginal flood risk for Western Washington. This is in alignment with forecasts from the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes, which anticipates several days of precipitation associated with this atmospheric river event. As federal funding has also been allocated to support the infrastructure for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, the coordination between emergency management partners and local authorities has never been more crucial. Maintaining situational awareness and readiness is imperative as we navigate through this dynamic weather landscape.Takeaways:* Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Cuba and poses risks for Florida's coast today, especially due to rip currents.* A marginal flash flood risk has been issued for the Southern and Central Appalachians today, necessitating caution for residents in these regions.* FEMA has announced over $1 billion in federal funding aimed at securing host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.* California is facing red flag warnings due to Santa Ana winds and low humidity, prompting pre-deployment of firefighting resources.* The Pacific Northwest will experience a moderate atmospheric river, leading to potential flooding in Western Washington later this week.* Several states, including Connecticut and New Jersey, are under marginal flood risks due to expected heavy rainfall in the upcoming days.Source[NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+html/290851.html][NWS Key West | https://www.weather.gov/key/][NWS Jacksonville | https://www.weather.gov/jax/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][WPC Day 3 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][CW3E AR Outlook (Oct 28) | https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/28Oct2025_Outlook/28Oct2025_Outlook.pdf][FEMA | https://www.fema.gov/print/txt/node/705701][NWS Los Angeles | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS San Diego | https://www.weather.gov/sgx/][Cal OES | https://news.caloes.ca.gov/governor-newsom-predeploys-firefighting-resources-southern-california-ahead-of-dangerous-fire-weather/][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][NWS Key West | https://www.weather.gov/key/][NWS Jacksonville | https://www.weather.gov/jax/][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+html/290851.html][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS Wilmington | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=34.2026&lon=-77.8815][NWS Topsail Beach hazards | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=NCZ106&lat=34.3696&local_place1=Topsail+Beach+NC&lon=-77.6288&product1=Beach+Hazards+Statement&warncounty=NCC141&warnzone=NCZ106][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][NWS Charleston | https://www.weather.gov/chs/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][NWS Wakefield Briefing | https://www.weather.gov/akq/brief][WPC Day 3 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS Seattle AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=ci&glossary=1&issuedby=sew&product=afd&site=nws&version=1][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr] This is a public episode.

What if the real crisis isn't left vs. right, but dignity vs. spectacle? We take a hard look at how performative nastiness - on camera and in hearings - rewards the loudest bad actors while starving institutions of trust. From Stephen Miller's cultivated cruelty to a combative congressional appearance that dodged every question, we trace how contempt becomes a political brand, and why that brand reliably escalates toward harm when honest dialogue dies.The conversation moves from national theater to street-level impact. We unpack the difference between firefighters' rigorous, service-first training and the shorter pipeline that equips many police roles with power before maturity. Then we break down ICE's internal split - investigative agents with higher requirements versus ERO officers hired with minimal credentials - and what that mismatch means for real people in tense encounters. One host shares early experiences that taught “don't expect help,” followed by a recent, humane response to a stalking scare that shows what good policing can look like. The tension holds: people want effective law enforcement; we just don't have enough of the right incentives to make it consistent.We don't stop at diagnosis. We outline actionable reforms: end qualified immunity, make misconduct financially local through pensions or insurance, require older and better-prepared recruits, lengthen training to center de-escalation and cultural literacy, and enforce peer-intervention norms that actually protect the public. Along the way, we question why power keeps delaying transparency on high-profile files and how procedural games feed cynicism. The throughline is simple: truth-telling must beat showmanship, or public safety and democracy both suffer.If you're ready for a politics that values candor over clout and a public safety model built on maturity, training, and accountability, this conversation is your map.

Students' attitudes towards truancy are said to be turning around. A new Education Review Office report has found six out of ten students attend regularly – back to pre-Covid levels, but still down on 2015. It also found 80% think education is important for their futures, and 75% think attending every day is important. Deputy Chief Executive Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking there's still more work to do. She says seven in ten children went to school regularly in 2015 and the government wants to increase that to eight in ten by 2030. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En las calles de Washington, el miedo se ha convertido en el compañero diario de miles de inmigrantes. Las operaciones de ICE, Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduana de Estados Unidos, se han intensificado desde que Donald Trump decidiera el 11 de agosto el envío de militares para “combatir la delincuencia”. Desde entonces, las redadas se han vuelto una rutina que paraliza barrios enteros y en particular a la comunidad latina. Detrás de cada puerta cerrada y cada mirada esquiva, se esconden historias de miedo e incertidumbre. Pero la comunidad inmigrante de la capital de Estados Unidos intenta resistir y crecen las voces que se alzan en busca de justicia y dignidad. “Yo no he trabajado durante toda una semana porque tres veces me los encontré. Siempre uso carro, pero como están agarrando en carro y no respetan, estoy yéndo ahora en bicicleta. El sábado, iba caminando en mi ruta de siempre y se me metió un (coche) de Texas y después se me metió Migración. Iban despacito, despacito. Tuve que dar vuelta para que no me agarraran porque yo sabía que me esperaban más adelante, en la misma calle”, dice una habitante de Washington  durante una marcha de miles de personas contra la presencia de los militares. Es inmigrante desde hace 26 años en Estados Unidos y prefiere presentarse con el nombre falso de Laura para proteger su identidad. Su colega que tenía dos trabajos para poder subsistir no contó con la misma suerte. “Cuando llegamos en el turno de la mañana dijeron que ya una persona no estaba con nosotros, porque lo había agarrado Migración en la mañana, comprando pancito y café para ir a su trabajo. No le dieron oportunidad de corte ni nada”, nos cuenta. La militarización de Washington está rompiendo el tejido social  Como Laura, muchos migrantes han dejado de ir a trabajar, no van a misa, piden su mercado a domicilio y dejaron de llevar sus hijos al colegio entre otras actividades diarias. La militarización de Washington bajo el argumento de la inseguridad está rompiendo el tejido social. Laura, cuando se atreve a salir de su casa, no sabe si va a regresar y con lágrimas describe cómo sus hijos, ciudadanos estadounidenses, le están escribiendo mensajes constantemente para confirmar si regresó. “Siempre chequeando: ‘mami ¿llegaste a la casa?, mami ¿llegaste al trabajo?, mami ¿estás bien? Así son esos mensajes día y noche para saber. Y si no contesto, es lo más triste. Yo siempre les digo a mis hijos que si no contesto pues…. Ahora están cazando a la gente por el mero hecho de ser hispanos. En mi trabajo ya llegó dos veces Migración también. Han agarrado mucha gente. Rompen ventanas, no respetan ni los carros ni nada, sólo los sacan, los jalonean y se los llevan” explica Laura. Desde que Trump decretó el estado de emergencia por inseguridad el 11 de agosto pasado, cerca de 2.200 miembros de la guardia nacional y 500 agentes federales de ICE, FBI, HSI, ERO y la DEA están patrullando, haciendo retenes, redadas y deteniendo arbitrariamente a supuestos criminales. Es un despliegue militar que seguirá al menos hasta noviembre y que cuesta más de 1 millón de dólares al día. Cazarrecompensas al servicio de la deportación de Trump Laura cuenta que, además, hay vigilantes a sueldo, cazarrecompensas que reciben hasta 1.500 dólares por inmigrante entregado a las autoridades. “1.500 por hacer eso … Yo miré a uno que tenía un sombrero, se puso lentes negros, camisa negra y pantalón bombacho, cuando baja otro se me queda mirando con su sombrero y lentes oscuros y encapuchado y se fueron caminado a un restaurante latino. Yo no entiendo porque no quieren a la gente latina y van a buscar restaurantes latinos a comer”, nos explica. Aunque es difícil identificarlos, los cazarrecompensas tienen características comunes. Entre ellas que no visten nada oficial, se tapan sus rostros, rara vez muestran su identificación, no presentan órdenes de arresto, perfilan racialmente a los latinos, están fuertemente armados y no tienen órdenes judiciales para entrar a las casas o hacer interrogatorios. Para Elian Contreras, mexicano americano presente en la marcha por la liberación de Washington, están pasando muchas cosas graves y la gente no se entera. “Nosotros vivimos en un complejo de apartamentos en Maryland. Hace unas semanas entraron como a las tres o cuatro de la mañana, quebraron ventanas, en todos los apartamentos de al lado le pusieron cinta adhesiva Tape negro a todas las puertas. Entraron, agarraron una familia entera, ya la deportaron y todo. ¿Para qué necesitaban poner cinta adhesiva Tape negro en todas las puertas? ¿Están ocultando algo, están escondiendo algo que nosotros no queremos saber?”, se pregunta Contreras. 1.000 dólares por inmigrante indocumentado entregado La figura de cazarrecompensas no es nueva en Estados Unidos. Durante el despliegue de la Guardia Nacional en Los Ángeles, ciudadanos denunciaron su presencia y en el estado de Misuri, hay un proyecto de ley para recompensar con 1.000 dólares al que entregue a un inmigrante indocumentado. Para Julian Contreras, hermano de Elian, también ciudadano estadounidense de padres mexicanos, sus encuentros con esta policía secreta han sido desafortunados. “Les grité y les pregunté qué estaban haciendo aquí, que tengan vergüenza por vender a la gente, y sólo me miran así, ríen y mandan a los perros de la policía de DC a intimidarme para exigirme y picarme, para que yo me enoje, los toque y me arresten. Pero no me voy a dejar. Son pandilleros, solo por un dinero es suficiente para vender la gente. Como en la Biblia, cuando Judas vendió a Jesús por 20 monedas”, afirma Julian Contreras. El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional afirma que las acusaciones de que “ICE usa contratistas privados o cazadores de recompensas para realizar arrestos son falsas". Lo que sí ofrece públicamente a los nuevos agentes que se incorporan es 50.000 dólares como bono de ingreso, 60 dólares de condonación de deuda estudiantil y 10.000 dólares de bono anual a todos los empleados. Según ellos, la cifra de solicitudes ya supera las 100.000 tras las campañas de publicidad masiva en televisión y otros medios. “La gente que llevaba dos años sin salir a cenar ahora está saliendo y los restaurantes en los últimos dos días han estado más ocupados que nunca”, repite Donald Trump sobre los supuestos efectos positivos en seguridad que ha tenido su orden de militarizar la ciudad. Sin embargo, dueños de restaurantes cuentan otras versiones muy diferentes. Los restaurantes se vacían porque los clientes tienen miedo de salir  Al norte de Washington, en el barrio Latino, los restaurantes están cada vez más vacíos y muchas personas llevan semanas encerradas en sus casas evitando ser detenidos y deportados. “Hay personas que nos han llamado que quieren que les vayamos a traer su comida porque no han salido durante un mes. Hay una señora que conocí hoy día que le vino un derrame facial del nervio porque le dijeron que estaba migración en su edificio”, explica la propietaria de un restaurante en el barrio de Columbia Heights que prefirió guardar el anonimato por seguridad. La militarización de la ciudad y las detenciones arbitrarias a los migrantes ha generado un daño económico muy profundo del que demorará años en recuperarse. “Conforme empezaron las redadas migratorias, la gente empezó a tener más miedo y de ahí cayó el 30% de ventas hasta, ahorita no se ha recompuesto. Estamos peor que en pandemia. En pandemia, por lo menos la gente sale a comprar, pero ahorita el miedo se apoderó de todos los inmigrantes. Y la verdad es que los inmigrantes son los que alzan la economía, son los que compran”, explica. Al haber menos consumo, esta emprendedora necesita menos gente en su restaurante y se ve obligada a rebajar la cantidad de horas que le ofrece a sus trabajadores. “La economía está mal, la gente no tiene trabajo, no tiene cómo solventar sus gastos. ¿Cuántas horas les pueden dar a un latino? ¿30, 28 horas (semanales)? Antes hacían 30 en un turno y 30 se iban a buscar otro lado, pero ya no hay trabajo, ¡no hay!”, se lamenta. Según ella, también hay migrantes con papeles y otros ciudadanos que se aprovechan de la situación y del miedo de los indocumentados para arañarles cualquier dólar. “Lo que están haciendo es cobrar dinero para ir a traer a tu hijo a la escuela. ‘Ok, yo tengo papeles, yo puedo recoger tu niño, me pagas algo'. Es lo que están haciendo las mamás, por no salir a recoger a sus hijos a la escuela o llevarlos, porque a veces los de Migración están por la escuela, así que pagan a estas personas 20 ó 25 dólares, dependiendo del niño”, afirma. Baja a la mitad la asistencia a las misas por miedo a ser detenidos  Del total de las 2.120 personas que han detenido hasta el momento, la mitad son hispanos, según el Departamento de Justicia. Un perfilamiento que se traslada hasta en la salida de las iglesias, donde los curas han registrado al menos 8 detenciones y una reducción del 50% en la asistencia a sus misas. Sin embargo, prefirieron no hablar con los medios. Para Keya Chaterjee, directora ejecutiva de la organización ‘Free DC', callar es la peor opción ante la dictadura. “Hay personas que están aterrorizadas, que no están saliendo de sus casas y limitando sus actividades, pero no podemos dejarnos intimidar de cara a esta realidad porque los dictadores prosperan en una atmósfera de miedo y caos. Eso es lo que están tratando de incitar”, denuncia. Según Chaterjee, la militarización y la campaña de intimidación por parte de una policía secreta hace parte de una estrategia a largo plazo para no ceder el poder y acabar con la democracia. “Todos los días hay un escalamiento. Empezamos con militares que estaban sin armas, después tenían pistolas, ahora tienen rifles semiautomáticos. Todos los días ha habido un escalamiento y ahora, Stephen Miller (subdirector de políticas y asesor de seguridad nacional de Trump), el nacionalista blanco y racista en la Casa Blanca, dice que quiere mantener a DC ocupada por los militares hasta finales del 2026. ¿Y usted sabe que hay detrás de esto, cierto? La gente no se olvida de la historia y entiende que los dictadores quieren crear un estilo de ley marcial en la capital del país para suprimir a la oposición y prevenir la transferencia del poder”, explica Keya Chaterjee.  La organización Free DC recomienda cinco pasos contra la represión y el miedo. Primero, no obedecer por adelantado sin que haya justa causa para cualquier interrogatorio. Segundo apropiarse del espacio público que los agentes encubiertos no conocen tanto, tercero, mostrar solidaridad; cuarto, organizarse para saber los derechos de las personas y quinto mantenerse activo y alegre. Según ella, a pesar de la represión, mucha gente en la ciudad ha optado por una posición desafiante. "La gente está desafiando al ICE" “Las personas en DC no están tolerando esto y está desafiando al poder. Por ejemplo, cuando ICE hace retenes ilegales, tenemos a gente que se anticipa y desvía el tráfico para evitar el retén. Cuando vienen a nuestros barrios salimos a perseguirlos hasta que se vayan si somos más y todos están grabando en video a la policía y gritándoles las ilegalidades que están cometiendo”, asegura. Bajo el pretexto de la lucha contra la inseguridad y la creciente polarización, el inmigrante latino se convierte en para rayo y responsable de los problemas estructurales de Estados Unidos, un país hecho por migrantes. Sin embargo, para los hermanos Contreras, al final, no pueden arrestar a todos los migrantes. “Nos pueden arrestar a uno, pero no nos pueden arrestar a 11 millones. Los hispanos son los que trabajan más fuerte, el que limpia tus baños, el que trae tu comida, el que le sirve a tu niño, pero cuando no hay inmigrantes, esta economía se va a bajar”, dice Contreras. Para muchos, Trump quiere dar un ejemplo con los inmigrantes hispanos de lo que les pasaría a los que decidan revelarse contra de sus decisiones. Entre el miedo y el silencio, el migrante pierde sus libertades básicas de movimiento, de expresión, religiosas, económicas y de consumo. Libertades por las que tanto arriesga y que vino a buscar a un país que ya no las ofrece.

Donato Pirovano"Dante e il mare"Donzelli Editorewww.donzelli.itNel viaggio oltremondano raccontato nella Commedia, Dante rasenta una volta sola il mare: sono le acque oceaniche che bagnano l'isola del purgatorio nell'emisfero australe, che il poeta vede dopo essere uscito dall'inferno. In quelle stesse acque, all'inizio della creazione è precipitato Lucifero, e lì è naufragata la nave di Ulisse, dopo che l'eroe greco aveva convinto i suoi compagni a lanciarsi oltre le Colonne d'Ercole. Il Mar Mediterraneo è invece presente nei racconti di personaggi incontrati lungo il cammino, da Francesca a Folchetto di Marsiglia, da Pier da Medicina a Sapia. Il mare nostrum si intravede anche nei miti che interagiscono con la poesia dantesca: Glauco, la Sirena, Ero e Leandro, gli Argonauti. Tuttavia, è nel tessuto metaforico che il mare fa sentire maggiormente il rumore dei suoi flutti, a partire dalla similitudine con cui si apre il poema, quella di un naufrago che scruta le acque alle quali è sopravvissuto, fino all'immagine del canto finale del Paradiso, in cui Nettuno guarda meravigliato l'ombra di Argo, la prima nave che ha solcato il suo regno. C'è poi una metafora antica che Dante rende sua e rinnova, quella della poesia come navigazione, che apre mirabilmente le ultime due cantiche e innerva l'intera struttura del poema. Quello del mare è un tema ricorrente nella Commedia, ma è presente in quasi tutte le opere di Dante; dato curioso, visto che molto probabilmente egli non ebbe mai occasione di solcarlo. Si tratta di un argomento sterminato, ricco di sfaccettature, oltre che di implicazioni letterarie e filosofiche, spesso toccato dalla critica, ma fino a oggi mai affrontato compiutamente in una monografia. Il libro di Pirovano colma questa lacuna offrendo un'analisi completa della presenza del mare, fisico e metaforico, nel corpus dantesco.Donato Pirovano è professore ordinario di filologia e critica dantesca all'Università di Milano. Socio dell'Accademia delle scienze di Torino, ha tenuto pubbliche letture dantesche presso varie istituzioni culturali e università in Italia e all'estero. Nel 2015 ha curato una nuova edizione criticamente rivista e commentata della Vita nuova. Per i tipi della Donzelli ha pubblicato Amore e colpa. Dante e Francesca (2021) e La nudità di Beatrice. Dante, Giotto, Ambrogio Lorenzetti e l'iconografia della Carità (2023). Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: What is a Nursemaid's Elbow? A condition in which an elbow gets partially pulled out of place (a radial head subluxation) Usually happens in kids under 5 because the ligaments around their elbow are still loose. A common situation is when an adult pulls a child up by the hand or swings them by the arms. The sudden tug causes the radius to slip out of its normal spot at the elbow joint. How are they identified? These don't normally need an xray The child will often hold their arm close to their side and refuse to use it There's usually no swelling or obvious deformity. Treatment? Reduce the radial head subluxation. There are two possible techniques: Flexion and supination. Start with the arm extended and pronated. Then supinate the forearm. Then bend the elbow up all the way. Hyper-pronation. One hand stabilizes just above the child's elbow, the other holds the wrist. Start with the arm extended. Hyperpronate the forearm. Listen/feel for a click The child is normally back to normal quickly, if not get the xray Which is better? Hyperpronation (Aksel, 2025) 10% first attempt failure rate Flexion-pronation has a 25% first attempt failure rate References Aksel G, Küka B, İslam MM, Demirkapı F, Öztürk İ, İşlek OM, Ademoğlu E, Eroğlu SE, Satıcı MO, Özdemir S.

Antonio Veneziani"Il tempio dell'anima"Il Simbolo EdizioniPubblichiamo la recensione di Giorgio Ghiotti, pubblicata su VallecchiPoesia.https://vallecchipoesia.it/content/antonio-veneziani-il-tempio-dellanima-il-simbolo-2025E' una nostizia da festeggiare ogni volta che esce un nuovo libro di un vero poeta, specialmente quando, come nel caso di Antonio Veneziani, sono passati anni dal suo ultimo lavoro. L'autore del memorabile esordio Brown Sugar del '79 ha affidato alle lodevoli edizioni Il Simbolo di Maurizio Gregorini il suo ritorno in volume con Il tempio dell'anima. Ritorno importante, atteso, per chi nel tempo ha seguito di Veneziani il percorso, fatto di fedeltà alla sua ispirazione, di coerenza e – tratto sempre più raro oggi – di assoluta libertà, difesa e pretesa anche a scapito di facili posizionamenti. Se nelle raccolte precedenti il poeta ci aveva abituati a scene di sollecito amore, di notturni incontri e esperienze del corpo, sempre restituendo nei suoi versi una città fantasmatica e miserabile non estranea a ingenti dosi di tenerezza e commozione, ne Il tempio dell'anima qualcosa è mutato. Verrebbe da dire che, smessi in parte i panni del flaneur urbano dedito alla perlustrazione di lungoteveri e interni domestici carichi di segreti (splendido esempio ne sono due raccolte precedenti: Tatuaggio profondo e Canzonette stradaiole), Antonio Veneziani recupera qui un paesaggio interiore mai pacificato – impossibile per chi, come lui, vive il mondo in percentuali altissime: “sono fuori posto, fuori luogo. / È pericoloso vivere” –, ma certamente accolto e compreso in un ragionare che non è mai stato tanto cristallino, serenamente inquieto, quasi direi metafisico. Veneziani non ha paura di parlare dalla vecchiaia, come chi ancora si indigna e s'innamora, magari di un gattino “sgarrupato” salvato dalla tempesta (“Troverò una tasca, / la inventerò se occorre”), ma forse per la prima volta si intrattiene a pensare anche ai cieli, a una divinità che, pur nella non consona e addomesticata forma delle religioni, sappia farsi – come scritto con ottima intuizione da Gregorini nella nota introduttiva – culla di un infinito cui la parola e quella poetica ancor di più anela. Poesie di grande temperatura emotiva si susseguono lungo le pagine, così che ogni testo, ricomposto all'interno del disegno d'insieme, vada a comporre una tessitura di irresistibile fascino, in grado di restituire non soltanto la storia di una poesia (e quella di Veneziani è una tra le migliori che abbiamo, suo merito e nostra fortuna), ma la storia di un'anima. Anima, ben inteso, che sa farsi biografia, anima mai slegata dalla materia reale della vita. Un'anima, quella di Veneziani, celeste e terrestre insieme. C'è una sapienza in questa raccolta che non appartiene a saggi e antichi dei; è la sapienza dei balocchi, degli autodidatti della vita, dei poeti. Antonio Veneziani non rivela dall'alto per meravigliare i lettori, ma prova meraviglia nel rivelarsi. Non consiglia, non indica, si tiene ben lontano da una poesia di precetto, perché si sente lui per primo in continuo rodaggio (e qui penso a Caproni che s'ammoniva: “resta ancora tutto da dimostrare”). Così le tre sezioni centrali dell'opera (Barbaglio di amor senile, Frammenti di diario e La storia si ripete) possono leggersi davvero come un consuntivo appassionato senza mai alcuna sbavatura di un'intera vita: Grazie della premura, grazie dei consigli.Ma voi, voi non siete nel vortice chemi attraversa, né dentro i tagliche mi procuro per tangere il sanguedel mio declino. Credetemi è raccapricciante,e c'è di più, scrivo preghiere nelle pietree poi, nell'opacità della notte, le buttonel fiume.  O ancora: La mia vitaè presto raccontata:anni vissuti a zonzo, droghe smodate,labbra troppo altere per divine invocazioni.Perso in meandri etilicivolevo assoggettare il cielo.Imbecille cancellavo calendariper depistare la morte. Orariottoso scanso i vecchi selciati.  Merito di questo lavoro editoriale, l'aver posto ad apertura e chiusura del libro il recupero di lavori oramai introvabili dell'autore: dalle poesie di A Gerusalemme e Talismani al poemetto Shalom, in cui si fanno i conti, senza che mai tornino appieno e sempre in affanno com'è giusto di un'anima in cammino, con le proprie radici ebraiche. Lo stile di Antonio Veneziani è unico nel panorama contemporaneo, irretisce e libera, apre ferite e le rimargina ma mai del tutto. C'è nella sua poesia, ancora una volta, un senso di insofferenza e di pietas, una postura etica e civile mai di posa, innata nell'occhio che, osservando e registrando il mondo da una posizione liminare, riattiva e colma un ripostiglio segreto che è in ciascuno di noi, facendoci ricordare la nostra riposta e forse dimenticata riserva di umanità. Di questo noi suoi affezionati lettori gli saremo grati a lungo. Mi si permetta di spendere ancora qualche riga per rimarcare il lavoro dell'editore Il Simbolo, che a poco più di un anno dalla sua nascita tanto sta facendo nella cura attenta e rigorosa delle sue uscite, tra le quali spicca un prezioso e imprescindibile volume delle poesie di Elsa De Giorgi (L'eternità nel gelo dell'alba). Una casa editrice che intenda primariamente il lavoro editoriale come lavoro culturale non è poca cosa, oggi. Nel cuore di Roma, là dove un'altra benemerita casa editrice, Empirìa, è andata dagli anni Ottanta promuovendo una vera cultura poetica (e tanto questa nuova esperienza ricorda, per valore, quella di via Baccina), Il Simbolo è una piccola roccaforte di bellezza, a partire dall'eleganza delle copertine, e di coraggio.   Antonio Veneziani, Maria Concetta Borgese"Piedi nudi e parole crude"Edizioni MedartLa parola è quella di Antonio Veneziani, poeta vibrante capace di trasformare in poesia ogni pensiero, ogni piccola azione, meditazione, ricordo.Parte dalla parola, ma si trasforma in danza e in musica e in un significato che amplia il respiro della poesia e diventa un'unica zolla; una terra splendente e feconda.“Ballerina, sii gentile, svelaci i segreti del ruscello;mostra, insieme all'erba alta, i muscoli della brezza.Vorrei andarmene ma mani di seta mi trattengono.Ero ladro e assassino, un tempo, ora son sasso.”Dialoga con la danzatrice, il poeta. Dialoga sapendo di trovare risposte. Anche lontane e indecifrabili, ma tènere e capaci di tenere a bada l'inquietudine.Scritte per Maria Concetta Borgese, che le coreografa e le interpreta, queste poesie aiutano il percorso di noi umani. Lo aiutano mostrandoci fili di invisibile, fiducia e generosità dimenticate.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

In the early twentieth century, eugenics captivated scientists and the public alike, giving researchers license to exploit the infirm, the mentally ill, prisoners, Native communities and many others considered "defective" or "feebleminded" under the guise of genetics. At its center stood the Eugenics Record Office in Cold Spring Harbor, directed by Charles Davenport from 1910 to 1939. From this Long Island building emerged policies of forced sterilization and ideas that would later influence Nazi ideology. My guest is Mark A. Torres, author of Long Island and the Legacy of Eugenics: Staton of Intolerance. He gives a brief history of the ERO and its aim to guide human reproduction according to eugenic ideals. pictured: Charles Davenport More about the author at his website: http://www.marktorresauthor.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

There's optimism over the future of professional development training for teachers. A new report from the Education Review Office has found half of teachers don't know how to use what they've learned in their classroom. It highlights training as one of the biggest drivers of success. Deputy chief executive Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking new development for English in primary schools this year is doing the things shown to work. She says three quarters of teachers are using what they learnt in that development every day. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marco Fogliata ha 33 anni e viene da Pumenengo, un piccolo centro di circa duemila abitanti in provincia di Bergamo. Da tre anni ha scelto di vivere su quattro ruote, trasformando un van nella sua casa e la sua passione per la fotografia in una professione che può fare in maniera itinerante. Mamma insegnante e papà commerciante, la sua è una famiglia economicamente solida. I soldi, nella narrazione familiare, sono la chiave che apre ogni possibilità di essere felici: «Il concetto di vita era questo: fai i soldi, e con i soldi potrai avere tutto quello che desideri — un buon lavoro, una famiglia, una casa. Ma, spoiler: io tutta questa felicità in casa non l'ho mai vista, nonostante ci fossero le disponibilità economiche».Negli anni dell'adolescenza, Marco cambia spesso direzione. Si iscrive a ragioneria, poi prova con l'istituto per geometri. Percorsi iniziati ma mai conclusi. Lui vuole solo una cosa: indipendenza, e la vuole presto. Così, a 18 anni inizia a lavorare e non smette più. Prima come cameriere, poi in fabbrica, dove firma un contratto a tempo indeterminato e la promessa di una vita stabile. È in quel periodo che, insieme alla sua compagna, fa il grande passo e acquista casa. Ma è proprio mentre tutto sembra andare secondo i piani che Marco inizia a sentirsi stretto in quella vita. «Ero grato di avere una casa mia, una macchina, ma allo stesso tempo facevo un tipo di lavoro in cui, man mano che aumentava la retribuzione, cresceva anche lo sconforto. Col passare degli anni ho iniziato a chiedermi: “Ma io sono felice facendo questa cosa per 8-10 ore al giorno?”».Nel frattempo, quasi per caso, durante un viaggio alle Hawaii, Marco scopre la fotografia e ci si appassiona subito. Riesce a costruirsi un buon giro di clienti e inizia a maturare un'idea che fino a poco prima sembrava impensabile: lasciare il posto fisso per dedicarsi completamente alla fotografia freelance. Ma non è solo una questione di lavoro: il desiderio di allontanarsi dalla realtà del piccolo paese si fa sempre più forte. Così, insieme alla compagna acquista un van e pianifica di trasferirsi in Spagna. Ma siamo nel 2020, e la pandemia stravolge ogni piano. Il progetto si blocca ancora prima di cominciare. E anche la loro relazione arriva a un bivio: decidono di separarsi e insieme scelgono che sarà lei a tenere la casa. Da allora, Marco vive nel suo van, sempre in movimento. Lavora come fotografo freelance e costruisce la sua quotidianità in sintonia con la natura. Nel suo stile di vita oggi non ci sono rinunce. Ma un semplice adattarsi ai bisogni attuali. «Ho imparato ad avere un tenore di vita basso. Al momento non ho famiglia e non sento vincoli. Quando ci sarà, ci saranno sicuramente spese in più da sostenere, e io mi muoverò in base a queste».

In a pre-Budget announcement, associate education minister David Seymour said he wants to overhaul and improve the attendance services charged with getting chronically absent kids back to class. He unveiled a 140 million dollar package to get attendance numbers up over the next four years. The move follows a critical ERO report last year that said the services were under-funded and ineffective. Education correspondent John Gerritsen reports.

Il verbo INGANNARE si usa spesso in italiano e può voler dire tante cose diverse. In questo articolo vedremo insieme tutti i suoi significati e come si usa. Verbo INGANNARE: Significati, Usi e Alternative Valide “Ingannare” significa: Far credere una cosa per un'altra, approfittando della buona fede altrui, per ottenerne benefici. Trarre in errore con malizia o con frode, spesso per il proprio vantaggio. In questo articolo vi darò tutte le ALTERNATIVE a questo verbo, così che possiate sostituirlo con quella più opportuna in base al contesto e non essere ripetitivi! 1. RAGGIRARE, CIRCUIRE "Raggirare" e "circuire" significano ingannare qualcuno con astuzia, spesso per ottenere qualcosa in modo illecito. Esempi: Il tizio non capiva che lei lo stava raggirando per sottrargli il borsellino. Se ti lasci circuire così facilmente dalle belle parole, non andrai molto lontano perché tutti ti prenderanno in giro. 2. TRUFFARE, FRODARE Privare con l'inganno qualcuno di qualcosa. Esempi: Luca è stato truffato da un suo carissimo amico e ha dovuto vendere la sua attività. Le fatture di quella società erano gonfiate per frodare il fisco. 3. ILLUDERE Ingannare qualcuno facendo credere quello che non è o suscitando false speranze. Esempio: Lo aveva illuso dicendo di amarlo, ma all'improvviso è scomparsa nel nulla e lui non ha più avuto sue notizie. Adesso è completamente distrutto! 4. ABBINDOLARE Ingannare qualcuno con l'uso di menzogne o trucchi, facendolo credere a qualcosa che non è vero. Esempio: Non mi lascio mai abbindolare dagli operatori telefonici che offrono promozioni fin troppo convenienti. 5. IRRETIRE Indurre con l'inganno o con lusinghe in uno stato di soggezione. Esempio: Non farti mai irretire da riti magici che promettono miracoli! 6. ADESCARE Sedurre, attrarre con lusinghe o promesse ingannevoli. Esempio: Il giornalista è riuscito ad adescare una vicina di casa della vittima e si è fatto raccontare dettagli che nemmeno la polizia sapeva. 7. TRADIRE Ingannare la buona fede di qualcuno venendo meno all'amicizia, all'affetto, mancando alla parola data o a un dovere. Esempio: Ha tradito la sua famiglia pur di raggiungere il suo obiettivo, cioè diventare Presidente del Consiglio. Chissà se se ne pente o se invece ne va fiero. 8. GABBARE Prendere in giro. Esempio: Puoi inventare tutte le migliori scuse, ma non riuscirai mai a gabbare quel poliziotto: ne sa una più del diavolo! Questo verbo, però, è una variante molto usata in Toscana. Lo sapevi? Se vuoi scoprire altre espressioni regionali, leggi l'articolo dedicato a questo argomento. 9. FUORVIARE Mettere su una falsa pista, una falsa strada. Esempio: Le tue parole mi hanno completamente fuorviata! Ero convinta che tenessi alla nostra amicizia più che a qualsiasi altra cosa, ma adesso è evidente che mi sbagliavo… Sei semplicemente un'approfittatrice! 10. IMBROGLIARE Ingannare o truffare qualcuno. Esempio: Non comprare più in quel negozio: il proprietario è famoso per imbrogliare i clienti sul peso dei prodotti! 11. FREGARE Ingannare o truffare qualcuno, spesso in modo sleale. Esempio: Ci siamo fatti fregare dalla commessa! Quello stesso vestito costa la metà in qualsiasi altro negozio! 12. ELUDERE Evitare qualcosa, come una regola o un obbligo, con astuzia o inganno. Esempio: Dopo essere riusciti a eludere le telecamere di sorveglianza, i ladri hanno rubato tre quadri dal museo. Tutti si chiedono ancora come sia stato possibile. 13. COGLIERE DI SORPRESA, SPIAZZARE Ingannare con l'effetto sorpresa.

" When you get rejected, it just means the person who will say yes, isn't at that address.” What if the secret to success isn't about chasing achievement, but remembering who you truly are? In this deeply personal and soul-stirring episode of SoulTalk, I sit down with legendary author, teacher, and transformational pioneer Jack Canfield. Best known as the co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul, Jack pulls back the curtain on his 50-year journey of inspiring millions and reveals why he's stepping away from the stage at the height of his legacy. You'll hear the wild story of how Kute, then a persistent 18-year-old with a dream, showed up unannounced at Jack's office, and how that moment sparked a full-circle friendship decades in the making. From healing childhood wounds to breaking free from the need for external validation, Jack shares raw insights about purpose, power, and what it really takes to live a fulfilled life. This is more than a conversation about success, it's a roadmap to reclaiming your worth, reprogramming your beliefs, and creating a life that reflects your soul's calling. Tune in and learn how to release the past, embody your purpose, and finally give yourself permission to be free.   Timestamps:  (00:03:00) - What inspired Jack's 50-year career in personal development.

The Education Minister wants to be the one taking the heat over sex education, not schools. The new draft curriculum is out for the first round of public consultation before it's written up later this year. It proposes children from Year Four learning about consent and gender stereotypes, while high schoolers learn about menstrual cycles and STIs. Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking currently, it's up to principals to go out to their community and specify what's taught. She says ERO reports found that to be very divisive, and sometimes schools and principles faced a lot of aggression from their communities over the content they taught.

In his book titled “Above the Line,” Urban Meyer uses a formula to discuss this topic. He says that E + R = O. The event that takes place, plus the way you respond to that event, equals the outcome. You can't control the event that is taking place, but you can always control the way you respond to it.

BEST OF TST: The Kansas City Chiefs victory parade turned deadly and injurious to dozens of people on Valentine's Day, marking not only a shocking tragedy but a truly bloody Valentine. Strangely enough, the odd series of number patterns that appeared during Super Bowl weekend, were also present in reports of the shooting. Headline after headline reported different totals of victims - those injured, those killed, children, those being treated at hospitals - all in a manner where the numbers added to 22 and 25, the score of the big game, or to 13 or 33. These numbers appear in the inconsistent reports about the parade shooting: NBC News reported at 9:44am Thursday 15th, 23 injured and 2 taken into custody = 25. At 10:17am Yahoo reported 22 injured and 3 taken into custody = 25. An early article reported before arrests were announced that 22 were injured. The 3 arrested were out of a group of 10 questioned = 13, and 10-3 was the Halftime score of the Super Bowl. Such number synchronicity may not be a conspiracy, but instead a result of some influential force acting behind the scenes of human affairs - what Helena Blavatsky called the Secret Chiefs. The word ‘Chief' is also used in the ancient Jewish text called Talmud, where such a titled referred to anyone who stood against Israel, particularly the goyim, and how they should be killed. Tract 57a of the Talmud says their “ashes are gathered” and scattered, another odd link to Ash Wednesday.Maybe Joe Buck of ESPN, veteran play-by-play voice for "Monday Night Football," was on to something when he said this of the Super Bowl: "There's going to be some story. There's going to be something that happens because it's Vegas, and it won't stay in Vegas. It's going to be a big something that happens. I don't know what it is. I have no idea. I just think that is going to be a mess in my mind." Statement made by the KC Chiefs - calling the shooting “senseless violence” - and the KC Police Chief - “people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment” - suggest we dismiss the motivations behind these events and further live in a fantasy where no violence ever occurs: remember when a homemade gun as used to kill former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe? The shootings took place in front of 800 officers, too, and it took a few bystanders to tackle a shooter despite laws against such gun violence. California's governor immediately vomited: “We need to pass a Constitutional Amendment to prevent gun violence nationwide.” The irony here is that the 2nd Amendment gave those bystanders the right to tackle one of the shooters. It's not the first shooting at a championship parade either, as others occurred in the wake of NBA and MLB celebrations as well. If violence of this sort of is planned by those other than ‘crazies', it would make far more sense to carry it out in the parade rather than the event itself since doing so would be too costly for the leagues, advertisers, etc. On our Super Bowl show, we discussed the ER in “super” and the “o” in Bowl and Champions being a different font than the rest of the letters. In Hebrew the strange E was two of the letters BET adding to 22, while the strange R was comprised of VAV and QOPH for a total 25. This was the score of the game. ERO is also the name of the god of love and passion we call cupid, who carries a bow and arrow (ero) - pronunciation reminds us of Arrowhead Stadium and the KC Chiefs logo. ERO is the quintessential Secret Chief, influencing our love from behind the scenes. Oddly, Valentine's Day was only 3 days after the Super Bowl. While 22 means ‘balance', the number 25 signifies a romantic passion associated directly with Valentine's Day and cupid or ERO.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITEPAYPALCashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Clara Tourres ha 33 anni ed è nata e cresciuta in Francia, in una famiglia di origine spagnola. Da sette anni vive a Napoli, dove lavora come giurista in un'azienda. Fin da quando è adolescente, impara che i soldi si guadagnano con il sacrificio, e così, appena 16enne, inizia a lavorare e non smette più: fa la babysitter, l'hostess, la barista. Mette assieme 1000 euro al mese e nel frattempo, studia Legge. Da sacrificio, i soldi iniziano a significare possibilità, e Clara matura un'importante fiducia sulla sua possibilità di guadagnare e stare al mondo.  All'ultimo anno di università, parte per l'Erasmus a Roma. E qui ha una sorta di epifania circa il luogo in cui vivere: dopo la laurea, infatti, le piacerebbe restare in Italia. Tuttavia, le difficoltà italiane nell'inserimento lavorativo, la costringono a ritornare in Francia, a Parigi, dove  inizia a lavorare come giornalista. Un volta terminato il contratto a tempo determinato, gliene propongono uno a tempo indeterminato. Ma nel frattempo, una sua amica francese che lavora a Napoli, le offre il suo posto in un'associazione che opera nel terzo settore. Lei accetta senza pensarci troppo. Lì guadagna 715 euro al mese e pensa di non aver bisogno di molto di più: «Ero convinta che non avevo bisogno di soldi perché ero una persona che viveva di esperienze, non di cose fisiche». Tre anni dopo, però, Clara la pensa molto diversamente. Si è ormai resa conto che in quell'associazione non avrebbe avuto un aumento ed è andata a lavorare in un'altra, più piccola, dove le cose vanno ancora peggio e per sette mesi non riceve stipendio. Ad aiutarla nel navigare questi mesi difficili c'è il gruzzoletto che aveva messo da parte negli anni. Ma c'è anche un percorso di yoga e meditazione, che sarà fondamentale nella sua storia, perché la aiuterà a darsi il giusto valore.  E infatti, a gennaio 2020, con la pandemia alle porte, Clara riceve un'offerta di lavoro da un'azienda come giurista. E, complice il lavoro fatto sui suoi pensieri, fa una cosa totalmente inaspettata: affronta la sua prima richiesta di aumento salariale. Dai 1.250 euro che le offrono, Clara riesce ad arrivare a 1.600. Arrivata a questo punto del suo percorso, si rende conto di quanto il suo “disinteresse” per i soldi l'avesse portata a doversene preoccupare ancora di più. «Non è detto che, semplicemente perché stai facendo, ce la farai per forza, perché ci sono circostanze esterne che possono essere molto sfidanti e difficili».

This discussion lights up key strategies and valuable life lessons drawn from years of real estate experience and personal growth. This blog post will outline the podcast's rich content, providing an extensive overview for those eager to succeed in real estate investing.David's Resilience: Embracing the E+R=O FormulaLearning from Hardship: The Foundation of ResilienceDavid's story begins with a challenging upbringing in Kentucky, losing his father at a tender age. This early adversity seemed to predetermine a life of struggle for David. However, a transformative lesson came when he learned about the E+R=O formula, which stands for Event + Response = Outcome. This revelation helped David realize that while he couldn't control the events in his life, he had complete control over his responses. This lesson of owning one's response to life's events underpins the greater discussion of resilience in real estate, as echoed by Jay Conner and Randy Dyck.Jay Conner's Journey: From Bank Reliance to Private MoneyPivoting in Crisis: Facing the 2008 Market CollapseJay Conner faced a significant turning point during the 2008 financial crisis when traditional bank financing dried up. This unexpected challenge could have derailed his real estate business. Instead, Jay turned to private money—a strategy that fundamentally altered the trajectory of his success. Unlike conventional loans, private money involves borrowing from individuals with available capital under terms set by the borrower. This strategy not only revitalized Jay's business but tripled its size, illustrating the power of resilience and adaptability.The Importance of a Supportive CommunitySurrounding Yourself with Positive InfluencesJay Conner emphasizes the notion that one's "vibration" or energy is significantly influenced by the people around them. This idea aligns with Jim Rohn's wisdom that individuals are the average of the five people they spend the most time with. By building a network of positive, like-minded individuals, investors can maintain high energy and motivation, which is crucial in navigating the ups and downs of real estate.Trust, Vulnerability, and Resilience in Real EstateBuilding the Foundations of SuccessRandy Dyck introduces a powerful analogy of trust and resilience in real estate, likening them to a house's structural components. Trust forms the foundation, hope, and vulnerability of the walls, and the resilience of the roof. Jay Conner agrees with this analogy, adding that spiritual trust also plays a pivotal role. For real estate investors, establishing a strong foundation of trust can protect against inevitable market volatility and ensure long-term success.Strategy and Mindset: Key Ingredients to Real Estate SuccessMaximizing Returns in Property InvestmentJay Conner's real estate strategy involves precise calculations to determine the worth of an investment. Using private money, he typically offers up to 50% of a property's after-repaired value (ARV), which allows for purchasing and rehabbing properties without tapping into personal finances. For instance, for a property with an ARV of $200,000, Jay might offer $100,000 and borrow up to $150,000. This approach ensures that funds are available for unexpected expenses and repairs, emphasizin

The minister in charge of curbing truancy is concerned students are "missing out on valuable learning time" by joining a march to parliament in protest at his controverisal Treaty Principles Bill. Hīkoi mō te Tiriti set off from Cape Reinga on Monday and moved through Auckland today, with thousands marching over the Harbour Bridge and onto Bastion point. Along the way hundreds of school aged children have joined the march, some in their uniforms, during school hours. Several schools are marking it as a 'justifed absence' and say students are being educated in voicing their opinions. Last month it was revealed a staggering 80,000 students were MIA for more than three weeks of term two this year, with ERO saying it's a crisis. Today, Associate Education Minister David Seymour has also warned teachers about maintaining political neutrality. President of the Secondary Principals Association Vaughan Couillault spoke to Lisa Owen.

This conversation highlights essential principles, from developing the right mindset to leveraging networks such as Business Networking International (BNI), which can transform the way you approach your real estate ventures. Here's a comprehensive look at the key insights from this enlightening episode.The Formula for Success: E + R = OJay Conner introduces a powerful concept that challenges conventional thinking: E + R = O (event + response = outcome). This principle dictates that while events in our lives are often outside our control, our responses to those events are key to shaping our outcomes. Jay recounts a personal story where his funding line was abruptly cut off by the bank during the 2009 financial crisis. Instead of succumbing to despair, he chose to seek alternative funding solutions. This proactive response led him to discover private money and self-directed IRAs, which played a pivotal role in his continued success in real estate.Mastering the Mindset of Abundance and ServiceOne of the major takeaways from the episode is the importance of adopting an abundance mindset and focusing on service. Chaz Wolfe applauds Jay Conner's emphasis on these aspects, noting how they can transform the approach to private lending and real estate. Jay underscores that having an abundance mindset—believing there's plenty of money for good deals—can significantly impact how one interacts with potential lenders. He stresses serving others, reassuring lenders about the safety and high returns on their investments. Unpacking the Three Tips for Private Money SuccessJay Conner outlines three fundamental tips for utilizing private money effectively:1. Serve and Secure the Right Mindset: Approach private money with a mindset of service, not desperation. Educate lenders about the benefits and security of their investment without pitching specific deals upfront.2. Establish Control and Make Your Own Rules: Unlike traditional mortgage applications with stringent requirements, private lending allows you to set the terms and create win-win scenarios.3. Recognize the Benefits of Private Money: Understand that private money offers limitless availability, no credit checks, quick closings, and fewer fees compared to hard money options.Leveraging Networks for Private LendingNetworking is a crucial element in private lending. Jay Conner highlights the role of Business Networking International (BNI) and self-directed IRA companies in expanding one's network of potential lenders. By engaging in these networks, real estate entrepreneurs can present their investment opportunities to individuals already familiar with and confident in the program.Chaz Wolfe reinforces this idea, noting how BNI's structured framework facilitates meaningful connections which can lead to securing private funds.The Art of Making a Good OfferJay Conner also discusses the importance of making a compelling offer to mitigate risks and close deals quickly. He introduces a formula for determining the maximum allowable offer, which ensures offers are both attractive to sellers and secure for investors.He emphasizes the urgency in real estate deals, suggesting that “time kills deals.” Therefore, presenting a strong

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Ikpanwosa Ero live from Canada. Born in Nigeria, is classified as a black female with the condition of albinism. This genetic mutation results in melanin deficiency and phenotypical characteristics often associated with people classified as White - pale skin and hair. Ero is an attorney by training and the first United Nations Independent Expert on the enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism. Gus was literally front row to hear her speak earlier this year at the University of Washington. She detailed the importance of words and even shared an anecdote about her being accused of wielding “white privilege” because of her melanin deficiency. International Albinism Awareness Day was just last month, so we'll ask how she advocated on that day. We'll also inquire about her definition of Racism and if she's noted White people's fascination with albino tigers, albino porcupines, albino skunks and all the mutant critters of the world.
