In this episode of Superpowers for Good, Julie Colombino-Billingham, Founder and CEO of Deux Mains, an affordable luxury goods company manufacturing ethical products in Haiti, shares her inspiring story. Julie's work demonstrates how business can be a force for good, especially in one of the most economically challenged countries in the Western Hemisphere.Julie didn't arrive in Haiti to start a business. After the devastating 2010 earthquake, she deployed as a trained disaster responder to help with relief efforts. What began as a short-term mission turned into a life-changing journey. “The women of Haiti were so strong, so brave, and so courageous,” Julie explained. “I really just wanted to be like them…I ended up staying and living there for five years and starting this business.”Deux Mains, which means “two hands” in French, is a testament to the power of collaboration and perseverance. The company manufactures luxury handbags, wallets, and other leather goods using deadstock leather and materials from responsible tanneries. These products, crafted by Haitian artisans earning a fair wage, are now sold in major retailers like Nordstrom and Kohl's. Despite the country's instability, Deux Mains continues to thrive. “The business is not only growing but flourishing under the leadership of my Haitian colleagues,” Julie said.Beyond exporting chic handbags, Deux Mains has a significant local impact. Last year, they manufactured and distributed 10,000 pairs of leather school shoes for Haitian children. The factory, powered entirely by solar energy, employs 45 full-time staff and serves as a model for sustainable development in Haiti.Julie's story is one of transformation—both personal and collective. Her journey highlights how listening to the needs of a community can inspire lasting change. “A woman said to me, ‘Hey, white lady, I don't want water. I need a job,'” Julie recalled. That moment shifted her perspective from short-term aid to creating long-term economic opportunities.Deux Mains proves that ethical fashion can make a global impact while empowering local communities. Julie's vision serves as a powerful reminder that meaningful change begins when we listen, act with purpose, and invest in people.tl;dr:Julie Colombino-Billingham founded Deux Mains after witnessing Haiti's resilience following the 2010 earthquake.Deux Mains creates ethical, sustainable luxury goods while employing Haitian artisans earning a living wage.The company's solar-powered factory produces products sold globally, including in Nordstrom and Kohl's.Julie credits her success to listening deeply to community needs, focusing on long-term economic impact.The episode highlights Julie's superpower of listening, offering actionable tips for cultivating this skill.How to Develop Deep Listening As a SuperpowerJulie's superpower is her ability to listen deeply and empathetically, enabling her to understand and act on the real needs of others. Reflecting on her early days in Haiti, she shared a pivotal moment: “A woman said to me, ‘Hey, white lady, I don't want any water. I need a job.'” That simple yet profound statement transformed Julie's approach, shifting her focus from short-term disaster relief to launching Deux Mains, a business creating sustainable jobs for Haitians. Listening, as Julie explained, “revolutionized my experience and my participation.”Julie shared a story that exemplifies her superpower in action. Early in her time in Haiti, she grew frustrated with the mess in the factory, asking, “Why is everything always a mess here?” Her Haitian business partner, Jolina, calmly replied, “We don't have any garbage cans.” This moment reminded Julie to step outside her own frame of reference and truly listen to her colleagues. By addressing such a simple, overlooked need, she cultivated a culture of collaboration and respect that continues to define Deux Mains.Tips for Developing Deep Listening:Believe that everyone in the room has valuable insights to contribute.Step outside your own perspective to understand others' realities.Ask open-ended questions to uncover underlying needs and concerns.Build trust by acting on the feedback you receive.Practice humility when faced with solutions that challenge your assumptions.By following Julie's example and advice, you can make deep listening a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Donald Trump is going to do everything he can to hold onto his near monopoly on power after the midterms. Beyond his scheme to invoke the Insurrection Act through a riot he's trying to will into being in Minneapolis, he could also declare foreign election interference—or claim there was skullduggery afoot in Los Angeles or Georgia precincts. Anything to stall or stop the new Congress from being seated. Who's going to stop him? Meanwhile, America will get the short end of the stick under his stupid new National Security Strategy. Plus, Dem elites since 2016 have failed to appreciate the economic despair among so many Americans, and some spiritual guidance for getting back to the moral and political pillars of the Declaration of Independence.Marianne Williamson and Bob Kagan join Tim Miller.show notes Bob's recent piece in The Atlantic Marianne's Substack Due to popular demand, we've added a second show in Minneapolis on Wednesday, February 18.

On this episode of Truth From The Stand, I'm sitting down with Joe Miles, and we're digging into the kind of hunting that doesn't get easier with better gear—cold sits, traditional bows, and the work it takes to stay honest in the woods. We talk longbows, confidence at the shot, and why preparation matters more when you strip things back instead of piling them on. Joe shares what drew him deeper into traditional archery, how projects like Brothers of the Bow shaped his perspective, and why legacy and authenticity still matter in modern hunting. We also get into the reality of public versus private ground, work ethic in the field, and even what it's like stepping into truly dangerous game—where mistakes don't get forgiven. This one's about doing things the hard way on purpose, and what you gain when you do. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 478 Cold weather exposes preparation gaps fast—wind, not temperature, is usually the real enemy. Traditional archery rewards discipline; expensive gear means nothing without consistent practice. Confidence at the shot matters more than equipment, especially when buck fever hits. Events like Winter Strong create learning through shared scenarios, not shortcuts. The appeal of longbows and recurves is growing because they reintroduce challenge and intention. Authentic hunting culture values grit, work ethic, and legacy over brand-driven influence. The best hunting stories—and growth—come from friction points, not easy paths.

This week we are chatting about events in Key West in Feb 2026.
There was a time when conferences felt a little bit magical. You'd show up, coffee in hand, and before the first session even started, you'd be deep in a hallway conversation that changed how you thought about your work. Those little moments, sitting on the floor near an outlet, laughing over lunch, that's where the real magic happened. But somewhere along the way, that magic started to fade. Big events got flashier. More sponsors, more VIP packages, and a lot more “networking opportunities” that felt like thinly disguised sales pitches. It stopped being about connection and started being about clout. I found myself missing the kind of conversations that left me inspired instead of exhausted. So, with a few fellow podcasters, Lisa Mitchel and Jenn Edds, we started dreaming about something smaller, more human. A gathering for women behind the mic who aren't chasing followers but chasing meaning. That's how Beyond the Mic was born. Not a conference, but a conversation. A cozy afternoon in Indianapolis this March, no panels, no presentations, just 10 or 15 women sharing stories, scars, and the lessons they've learned along the way. We'll talk about the messy parts of podcasting, burnout, creativity, community, and how we can keep making something meaningful, one episode at a time. So if that sounds like your kind of magic, come join the conversation at talkbeyondthemike.com. Because maybe the best conference isn't in the ballroom, it's in the hallway, over coffee, between two people who get it. Join me for Beyond The Mic in Indianapolis on March 26 - https://talkbeyondthemic.com

Economy Report: Texas Wind and Solar Failed During This Week's Winter Storm, Grid Carried by ‘Natural Gas and Coal' The recent snow storm that overtook Texas reportedly crashed the state's wind and solar energy generators, leading to natural gas, coal, and nuclear providing most of the state's electricity. https://twitter.com/RyanMaue/status/2015854614206206101?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2015854614206206101%7Ctwgr%5Eccb14922c034250da614ea4ff40e89ae08ce9117%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F02%2Freport-texas-wind-solar-failed-weeks-winter-storm%2F According to David Blackmon, an energy-related public policy analyst and consultant, by the early morning hours of Jan. 26, natural gas, goal, and nuclear were providing 89 percent of all the state's power. “Natural gas alone is chugging along at an impressive 68%,” Blackmon reported online on Substack later that same day. Politico similarly reported that the U.S. energy grid “leaned heavily on coal and natural gas generation to satisfy the energy appetite from Winter Storm Fern.” https://twitter.com/mayes_middleton/status/2015822288663228536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2015822288663228536%7Ctwgr%5Eccb14922c034250da614ea4ff40e89ae08ce9117%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F02%2Freport-texas-wind-solar-failed-weeks-winter-storm%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com China is on a ‘strong currency' mission to make the yuan a global reserve: Xi Xi Jinping says the goal of becoming an international powerhouse is a long-term one and will rest on core foundations China needs to build a “strong currency” that can become widely used in international trade, investment and foreign exchange markets, and reach the status of a global reserve. Source:.scmp.com Trump Launches $12 Billion Strategic Mineral Stockpile To Counter China; Rare Earth Stocks Jump The Trump administration is preparing to launch a major initiative aimed at protecting US manufacturers from disruptions in the supply of critical minerals, committing about $12 billion in initial funding to build a strategic stockpile of essential materials, according to Bloomberg. The project, known as Project Vault, is designed to reduce America's dependence on China for rare earths and other strategically important metals. By creating a centralized reserve for civilian industries, officials hope to cushion companies against sudden shortages and sharp price swings that can disrupt production and strain finances. Shares of MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Critical Metals and other rare earth associated names are higher between 5% and 10% heading into the cash open on Monday on the news. At this point it’s safe to say last week’s Reuters rare earth hit piece (authored most likely at the behest of a disgruntled short), which sent the sector tumbling on disputed claims the Trump administration was seeking to distance itself from the rare earth space by moving away from a price floor on critical metals and suggesting MP’s deal with the government may be in question, has been thoroughly debunked. Even the MP Materials X account was mocking the grotesque misreporting: https://twitter.com/MPMaterials/status/2016734732835573833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Project Vault will be financed through a mix of private and public funding: $1.67 billion is expected to come from private investors, while the US Export-Import Bank is set to provide a $10 billion loan with a 15-year term. The bank's board is scheduled to vote on the deal, which would be the largest in its history. More than a dozen major companies have joined Project Vault, including General Motors, Stellantis, Boeing, Corning, GE Vernova, and Google. Three large trading firms – Hartree Partners, Traxys North America, and Mercuria Energy – will handle sourcing and purchasing materials for the stockpile.

The former cabinet minister, who was sacked as US ambassador last year because of his past connections to Epstein, appeared in the latest release of files by the US Department of Justice on Friday. Documents suggest Epstein made $75,000 (£55,000) in payments to Lord Mandelson in three separate $25,000 transactions in 2003 and 2004. In his letter to Labour’s general secretary on Sunday, Lord Mandelson said: “I have been further linked this weekend to the understandable furore surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and I feel regretful and sorry about this.” He added: “Allegations which I believe to be false that he made financial payments to me 20 years ago, and of which I have no record or recollection, need investigating by me.

Image of de-arresting by Minnesota ICE Watch. Minnesota ICE Watch, the organization that Renee Good and her wife were members of, distributed a document known as the “De-Arrest Primer,” which instructs activists on how to physically interfere with law enforcement officers during arrests. The manual provides detailed guidance on pulling detainees from officers' grips, pushing and pulling officers, breaking holds, and opening law enforcement vehicles to free suspects. The manual also teaches the use of coordinated chanting to create confusion and overwhelm officers during active arrests, as well as surrounding officers until they release detainees. The guide openly acknowledges that these actions may constitute criminal offenses but argues that the risk is justified. Each successful interference is described as a “micro-intifada,” framed as a tactic meant to spread, replicate, and inspire wider disruption. The manual claims these methods originated in pro-Palestinian campus protests and presents them as a model for broader resistance activity. While no single formal publisher is identified, the manual appears to originate from broader activist and radical networks that promote direct physical interference with law enforcement. It has circulated widely through Instagram and other activist communication channels and has been used in training individuals described as “constitutional observers” or “ICE watchers.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018111147237425556?s=20 https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018114619320017259?s=20 JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Signs “ICE On Notice” Executive Order to Prosecute ICE Agents Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson at a press conference hosted by Illinois Governor J.B.

In other words, if we don't close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result! Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before. Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place! This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark for many generations to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP President Trump to SETTLE $10 BILLION IRS LAWSUIT — Plans to DONATE THE PROCEEDS TO CHARITY President Donald J. Trump is preparing to settle his massive $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department, and he says he will donate the entire payout to reputable charities instead of keeping a penny for himself. President Trump, Eric Trump, Don Jr., and the Trump Org filed a lawsuit against the IRS for leaking their tax returns. They are seeking $10 billion in damages. In September 2023, federal prosecutors charged a former IRS contractor who worked for the agency from 2018 to 2020 with unlawfully obtaining and disseminating the tax details of a high-ranking public official and numerous affluent Americans to media outlets. According to court documents and an official press release from the Department of Justice, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official, referred to as Public Official A – now known as Donald Trump. He then disclosed this information to a news organization identified as News Organization 1 – now known as The New York Times. Littlejohn reportedly stole IRS information on thousands of wealthy people. The stolen information was then disseminated to two news outlets (New York Times and ProPublica). “In July and August 2020, Littlejohn separately stole tax return information for thousands of the nation's wealthiest individuals. Littlejohn was again able to evade IRS detection. In November 2020, Littlejohn disclosed this tax return information to News Organization 2, which published over 50 articles using the stolen data. Littlejohn then obstructed the forthcoming investigation into his conduct by deleting and destroying evidence of his disclosures,” the DOJ previously said.

In the same district in 2024, the voter turnout was 400,339. 3. In the same district in 2022, the voter turnout was 277,883. 4. This was a special election to fill a vacant seat resulting from a state senator's promotion into state comptroller. 5. Based on the timing of this election and the next election, and the peculiar nature of Texas state government, it is a 99.99% certainty that this new Democrat will never cast a single vote in the term he is filling. 6. The vote was on a Saturday. I am as passionate a MAGA voter as is alive, but if I lived in TX-SD9, I would have stayed home and enjoyed my Saturday based on fact #5 alone. Is this good for the GOP? No. Is it bad for the GOP? No. Then what is it, CP, you big smartypants? IT'S NOTHING. IT'S MEANINGLESS. So everybody please calm down. For the 2026 midterms, every Trump voter knows that if he does not win, the House will impeach him twice weekly. That fact will be as widely understood as any fact during the 2024 election. There are still many issues Trump needs to work on, and I'm not guaranteeing a 2026 victory. What I AM guaranteeing is that yesterday's TX-SD9 election has as much meaning as peanut butter on a dog's nose.

REP. AUGUST PFLUGER, Chair of Republican Study Committee nails it: “The House did our job nearly 300 days ago. It's high time that the Senate do theirs!” President Donald Trump has proposed building a massive triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., often referred to as the “Independence Arch” or “Memorial Circle arch,” to be located on Columbia Island near the Potomac River, close to the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The structure is envisioned as a 250-foot-tall monument, which would make it more than twice the height of the 100-foot Lincoln Memorial, taller than the 70-foot White House, and larger than Paris’s 164-foot Arc de Triomphe—though still shorter than the 630-foot Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Trump’s motivations stem from a desire to create a grand symbol of American pride and exceptionalism, emphasizing that Washington, D.C., is “the only city in the world that’s of great importance that doesn’t have a triumphal arch The arch signifies Trump’s emphasis on monumental nationalism and grandeur, evoking historical triumphal arches built by emperors and leaders to commemorate triumphs and project power—earning it nicknames like “Arc de Trump.” (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz explores Royal Match, the dominant free-to-play match-3 puzzle game from Dream Games, the Istanbul-based powerhouse founded in 2019 by ex-Peak Games executives including CEO Soner Aydemir. Launched globally in early 2021 after a 2020 soft launch, it features King Robert as protagonist in polished, ad-free gameplay where players match 3+ tiles like crowns, coins, and shields to complete objectives—collecting items, breaking obstacles like vases and chains, or clearing paths—across move- or time-limited levels.The core loop includes regenerating lives (5 total), earning stars to decorate and progress the castle meta-layer, and deploying boosters like rockets, TNT, light balls, and hammers earned through combos or purchased. Events such as Sky Race (PvP-style), tournaments, quests, team alliances, streak rewards, card collections, and minigames drive engagement. With over 12,400 levels by late 2025 (expanding biweekly with 100+ new ones every two weeks), progression is endless—no true endgame—demanding thousands of hours, especially for F2P players facing aggressive difficulty scaling and near-miss designs that push impulse buys for extra moves or boosters.Analytic Dreamz breaks down its extraordinary success: 300M–370M+ downloads, lifetime revenue surpassing $5–7B (with $1.3–1.4B in 2024–2025 alone, topping casual/puzzle charts), and ~55M MAU. Dream Games, now valued at ~$5B following a major 2025 CVC Capital Partners investment (providing liquidity to early VCs while founders retain majority control), dominates match-3 IAP revenue share through masterful user acquisition (heavy Apple Search Ads, creative pin-pull campaigns) and retention via live ops—no ads interrupting play.Praised for smooth UX, polish, and uninterrupted experience (4.7/5 store ratings), it faces criticism for paywalls, "rigged" difficulty spikes, Super Hard levels, and misleading ads. A 2024 gambling lawsuit in Washington alleged coin purchases resemble gambling, though no major resolutions noted. Sequel Royal Kingdom (2024) adds PvP and ranked play, already generating hundreds of millions.Join Analytic Dreamz to unpack how Royal Match redefined mobile puzzle dominance through relentless monetization, UA strategy, and live service mastery, turning Dream Games into a top global publisher.

The surge of ICE activity in Minneapolis has led tens of thousands of people to flood downtown for a variety of protests against ICE. But it's kept many others— like those afraid of violence, harassment or arrest by ICE agents— far away from downtown. Events from graduations to conferences to concerts have been canceled or moved outside of the city. The tourism organization Meet Minneapolis conducted a survey about the impact of ICE on tourism in the city. Of the 101 restaurants, event businesses, hotels, arts organizations, attractions and service providers that responded to the survey, 80 percent said they have had canceled, postponed or reduced bookings and sales as a result of ICE activity. 90 percent of those businesses said that fear and stress is affecting the operations of their business.A senior vice president at Meet Minneapolis, Courtney Ries, told MPR News that the 13 Minneapolis hotels that responded to the survey said they lost around $3 million in revenue from the ICE surge this year. That's after more than 40 groups and events connected to the hotels canceled, including two large events at the Minneapolis Convention Center.“When travelers are looking at Minneapolis, there is a lot of uncertainty,” Ries said. “Our job is to advocate for our community and businesses. Who have obviously experienced a lot of heartbreaking emotions over the killings as well as the struggle for businesses to survive.“Meet Minneapolis also surveyed 2,030 American travelers were interested in traveling to Minnesota. 20.6 percent of those said they have altered plans to travel to a destination because of ICE activity.“This is a very acute situation for many of these businesses. We're seeing a lot of questions about how event attendees are going to feel when they come into the city,” Ries said. “We'll continue to host things like the auto show, the boat show, the totally rad vintage fest, the Minnesota school board association meetings, but with more information because attendees have more questions.”

Founder and Head of Product Clint Brauer has developed robots that help reduce—or even eliminate—chemical use while improving the efficiency of farming practices. This innovative approach not only protects workers from exposure to harmful substances but also addresses growing concerns about the safety of food and its environmental impact.Clint's journey began with a deeply personal motivation. “Greenfield comes from my dad,” he explained. “I got Parkinson's years ago, about 20 years ago. And so I decided to do something about it. And I thought it was from farm chemicals.” His mission quickly evolved into creating technology that could solve problems for all farmers, regardless of their stance on chemicals.The robots Clint and his team developed are capable of cutting weeds and providing precise foliar feeding. “We weed by day and we foliar feed by night,” Clint shared. By targeting the stomata of the plants, these robots can deliver nutrients effectively while avoiding the need for excessive synthetic fertilizers. This process not only protects crops but also helps regenerate the soil, creating a more sustainable farming ecosystem.Greenfield Robotics has already seen promising results. Operating in 17 states with about 80 robots in the field, the company is steadily scaling its operations. Clint emphasizes that the work is still in its early stages, but the potential for widespread adoption is clear.In addition to its technological breakthroughs, Greenfield Robotics is raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. Clint's goal is to make the company a grassroots movement, with farmers and consumers becoming co-owners. “We want farmers and consumers to own Greenfield,” Clint said. “Food is one of the very few things we all share.”By reducing chemical use and fostering a more sustainable future, Clint and his team are paving the way for a revolution in agriculture. It's an inspiring story of innovation and determination, with robots leading the charge for cleaner, healthier food.tl;dr:Greenfield Robotics uses robots to reduce farm chemicals, improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability.Clint Brauer's mission is personal, inspired by his father's Parkinson's diagnosis linked to chemicals.The innovative robots weed and feed crops, helping farmers transition to regenerative practices.Greenfield Robotics is scaling operations and raising capital via StartEngine crowdfunding.Clint's relentless perseverance drives his mission to revolutionize agriculture for farmers and consumers alike.Guest ProfileClint Brauer (he/him):Founder & Head of Product, Greenfield RoboticsAbout Greenfield Robotics: Greenfield Robotics is revolutionizing weed control with autonomous farming robots designed to reduce operational and maintenance costs while removing herbicides from the process. Demand has been exceptional: Our entire fleet is sold out this year and with reservations already filled for 2026, our BOTONY™ fleet of robots is helping drive our mission to eliminate all chemicals from farming and food.Website: greenfieldincorporated.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/greenfieldroboticsInstagram Handle: @greenfieldrobotics Other URL: startengine.com/offering/greenfield-roboticsBiographical Information: Clint is a third-generation regenerative farmer turned agtech entrepreneur, with deep roots in Midwest agriculture and a career spanning both broad-acre and greenhouse growing. Before returning fully to farming, he was an early data science systems pioneer at Sony, where he helped launch Sony's e-book systems in North America. He later bridged technology and agriculture by creating a regeneratively grown ingredients supply chain for Canidae Pet Food, proving that scalable, soil-first farming models can succeed inside global consumer brands.Clint's work is deeply personal. His father developed Parkinson's disease after years of chemical exposure on their family farm and ultimately passed away from it—a tragedy echoed across the Midwest, where Parkinson's rates among farmers over 50 have reached epidemic levels linked to long-term herbicide and pesticide use. Greenfield Robotics was born from this reality and a single driving question: What if we could farm without poisoning the people who feed us? Today, Clint is building technology to remove toxic chemicals from agriculture, protecting farmers, restoring soil, and redefining what modern farming can—and must—be.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/clintbrauerThe Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, is proud to have been named a finalist in the media category of the impact-focused, global Bold Awards.Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Ahoy there, pirates! This week, I'm joined by Caleb as we sit down to talk about the Doubloon reset that's coming with Season 19, the overall cadence of Rare's development for the game, changes to Hourglass, and some other topics. Caleb wanted me to include the notes from the show so you can get an idea of what we chatted about for reference. Check them out below!

Black Market: Past Seasonal items, Past limited-time items (don't know if letters of recommendation or gold revert will remain) Don't want to argue limited-time items for the umpteenth time. Seasonal items already come back for doubloons, now they will just be in the black market instead of their respective shops. Blackmarket used to sell new recolors for gold, and one day Rare threw them all into their respective shops instead; why are we going backwards here? Why convert the current past seasonal items to gold if you're still going to charge doubloons for new past seasonal items? What's changing? Past season in the black market instead of the respective shops Past limited-time items as well Doesn't solve the issue of long-time players having nothing to spend doubloons on. Dev Cycles 2018-2019: Big updates every couple of months with small updates in between Small updates called Bilge Rat Adventures From release to anniversary update Hungerdeep > skeleton thrones, gunpowder skeletons, mermaid statues > cursed sails 2019-2020: Small updates every month From a few months after the anniversary update to the festival of giving (2020 - 2nd one) Fort of the Damned > Seabound Soul > Festival of Giving > Legends of the Sea > Crews of Rage 2020-2023: Big updates every couple of months with small updates in between Small updates are called events. Bile Rat Adventures was now just an umbrella section for commendations tied to the new updates. Season 1 > festival of fishing, vault raiders > Season 2 2022: Events dropped for Adventures Season 5 - Season 8 The start of Season 9 had the last adventure Events were now sparsely used for some time-limited things or to track stuff like community day 2023: Small updates every month Season 9-10 Features released across the season 9: Monkey Island 10: guilds & safer seas 2023-2025: Big updates every couple of months. Season 11-14 Notice I didn't say small updates in between. There were, but they were mostly gameplay improvements and bug fixes. This was a period when we were really feeling that they were releasing things before they were fully ready. 2025-current (2026): Small updates every month Season 15-Current (18) These updates were all a part of one big theme. For example: Season 15 ancient megs, then hunting spears & ambient wildlife, wild boars & ambient wildlife. Season 17 was intentionally spread feature release across the season, now in the form of acts. Of course, there were always delays and stuff Recurring Events Seems like they're setting up for the future. Get a suite of recurring events. Right now, we know of: Last Ship Standing for Hourglass Bilge Rat Weekender to earn doubloons Molten Sands Fortress player-activated event Smuggler Heist for smuggler loot at sea forts (key drop mechanic was cool by the way, would love to see this on a bigger scale) Maybe Reaper Fortresses' mega stash Hourglass Commendation fixing Supply (baseline starts similar to arena's equal starts) Circle (puts a soft timer on matches similar to Arena's hard timer) Last Ship Standing (puts multiple sloops in a fight similar to Arena's multi-ship fight) Friction Auto-Raising of emissary flags Lots of these things people been asking for since its release, glad they're focusing on it now Commendation fixing Supply (baseline starts similar to arena's equal starts) Circle (puts a soft timer on matches similar to Arena's hard timer) Last Ship Standing (puts multiple sloops in a fight similar to Arena's multi-ship fight) Friction Auto-Raising of emissary flags Lots of these things people been asking for since its release, glad they're focusing on it now File Size Currently: 129 GB (varies by console) 2019: optimization 47gb to 27gb 2022: 85 GB And, Overwatch 2 is 22 gigs.

Notes Matthew 5:13-20 Isaiah 58:1-12 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler discuss the readings for the fifth Sunday after Epiphany, focusing on Matthew 5:13-20, Isaiah 58:1-12, and 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. They explore themes of identity, the importance of community engagement, and the call to live out one's faith through action. The conversation emphasizes the significance of being 'salt and light' in the world, the necessity of justice in worship, and the transformative power of Christ's message. Takeaways The Beatitudes set the foundation for understanding our value in God's eyes. Being 'salt of the earth' means recognizing our worth and the impact we can have. Worship should lead to action and justice in the community. Christ's crucifixion serves as a model for nonviolent protest against injustice. The importance of context in interpreting biblical passages cannot be overstated. Our voices and actions matter in the pursuit of justice and compassion. The call to be 'light of the world' is a call to visibility and authenticity in faith. Engagement in community events and conferences can enrich our preaching and understanding. The connection between the Old and New Testament readings highlights a consistent message of justice. Understanding our identity in Christ empowers us to act with purpose and love.

Despite half of American adults being single, churches seem to have no idea how to engage them. Singleness is often treated like a pitstop on the way to what really matters… coupling up and settling down. Which is why a lot of well-meaning married folk say all sorts of unhelpful and hurtful things to the singles in their orbit—dismissive, demeaning and condescending things; many of which contradict Scripture. Maybe it's time we adjust our view of singleness and start talking about and treating singles more like Jesus. What would happen if we did?

Galen Clavio is joined by special guest Grace Ybarra to relive the unforgettable CFP National Championship weekend in Miami—the 48-hour blur of events, fan moments, stadium chaos, and the emotional whiplash of watching Indiana win it all.They walk through everything from the Homefield events (including the packed night at Mickey Burkes with Straight No Chaser) to the American Social gathering on game day, the tailgating scene outside Hard Rock Stadium, and what it was like inside the building as Indiana pulled off the championship win over Miami.Most importantly, this episode is about the feeling: what it's like to experience a once-in-a-lifetime sports moment alongside other Hoosiers, meet strangers who instantly become friends, and realize—slowly, then all at once—that Indiana football really became national champions.

Corrosion rarely announces itself as a "big water problem." It shows up as leaching at the tap, residual loss in the field, premature equipment replacement, and the slow, expensive erosion of decision-quality. Pat Rosenstiel (CEO) and Wolf Merker (chemist/Chief Science Officer) of Great Water Tech lay out a system-wide view of corrosion control—starting with what changed in Flint from a technical standpoint and moving into why many utilities still struggle to meet expectations when standards and risk assumptions shift. System-wide corrosion control starts with chemistry and consequences A source-water change can shift corrosivity fast. If corrosion control does not adjust proactively, the downstream effects show in metal release and public exposure. Wolf stresses the distinction between the technical problem and the political challenges, then points to corrosion control as a solvable technical matter when it is treated as a system condition—not a single asset issue. Why "phosphate-only" isn't the end of the story Trace frames what most operators recognize: many municipalities use phosphate inhibitors to form a tenacious film and reduce corrosion. Wolf argues phosphates are "a little bit of old news" in practice and explains the approach Great Water Tech discusses with their German partners—using phosphates and silicates together in the right amounts to create a tighter separation between water and metal. Barriers, biology, and the disinfection tradeoff Wolf breaks corrosion drivers into three sources: chemical, biological, and electrochemical (dissimilar metal corrosion). He also ties corrosion to cascading operational decisions—especially disinfectant strategy. If residual loss pushes a system from chlorine to chloramine, Wolf warns that corrosivity can increase dramatically, and that corrosion can amplify the formation of disinfection byproducts as chlorine reacts with what is in the water. What industrial water treaters should listen for Pat connects the same barrier logic to industrial priorities—CapEx, OpEx, and lifecycle extension in closed systems (cooling towers, closed chilled loops, boilers). Wolf clarifies that closed systems require different product "flavors," while keeping the core concept consistent: the combined silicate/phosphate approach remains the best path he is aware of.

Last week's severe weather has highlighted the differing ways some small communities approach the cleanup, with some saying locals need to be empowered to muck in themselves rather than waiting for council contractors. Residents are generally discouraged from clearing slips on public land and roads and told to wait for emergency services or council contractors. However, this doesn't discourage some residents from taking matters into their own hands. So, should isolated communitiies given more power to deal with damage from weather events? Libby Kirkby-McLeod reports.
Royalmount is not just "doing fine" it is accelerating. In this episode Axel Monsaingeon sits down with Michael Stroll, Partner at Carbonleo and SVP Leasing, to break down what actually drives a successful mixed use destination in Montreal. They explore how consumer habits are changed, why occupancy momentum matters more than first month headlines, and how the right tenant mix, events, and access strategy can reposition an asset quickly. You will hear the measurable results behind the Royalmount lease up, the expansion logic for phase two retail, why a hotel on site makes sense, and how Class A office demand is being reshaped by commute patterns and lifestyle convenience. If you work in development, leasing, investment, or brokerage, this conversation is a masterclass in building durable demand through placemaking and long term vision. Topics & Timestamps
How do we acquire, assimilate and verify knowledge?Exploring an inquiry as old as the human capacity to search for truth, which is re-enlivened in our times with the many challenges facing the human family globally, Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis invite us into a journey of discovery, tracing fascinating new pathways toward integrated understanding.They begin with the awareness that scientific inquiry has opened a world of astonishing can-do possibilities, while also training us to exteriorize knowledge, giving rise to a widening separation between the interior and exterior dimensions of life.In response, the conversation seeks to invite a new kind of integration. It opens with the idea of conscience, then moves from exoteric to mesoteric and esoteric perspectives, exploring questions such as: What is the purpose of human life? Could the universe be purposeful? And what would it mean to shift from the knowledge of things and concepts to the knowledge of processes and relationships?They ask: How can esoteric knowledge or Creational Logic be sourced? What can the natural world, from daffodils to bears, from orchids to our own digestive systems, teach us about the innate authentication and verification built into life itself?Proposing that the pursuit of truth and knowledge involves natural validation and verification inherent in the structure of life, the conversation weaves an exciting range of inquiries, offering a space where science, spirituality, and philosophy can come together to co-create a greater whole that liberates and nurtures the flourishing of life.Additional insights explored include:In the ancient world, science, spirituality, and philosophy formed an integrated whole in the search for truth and knowledge.While the scientific project enabled extraordinary achievements in the modern world, it also contributed to the fragmentation of these three streams and the widening divide between interior and exterior knowledge.The significance of this moment in human evolution, as we step into the unknown—and how to validate the cathedral of inquiry now opening before us.What does it mean to live a purposeful life inside a purposeful universe, and how does such a stance offer an esoteric invitation into a pathway of discovery?How close observation of the natural worlds and life – from the relationship of the mama bear to her cubs, to the intricate workings of our own digestive systems -- demonstrates that authentication is accomplished through integrated, multi-pathway validation.How the global challenges facing humanity demand a broader, more inclusive way of validating truth and knowledge.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

TWEETABLE QUOTES “So we are proposing here that the pursuit of truth and knowledge involve the natural validation and verification inherent in life. That's basically the surge here to reintegrate life, in its fuller sense, to the inquiry of knowledge and truth. And, in the bigger scheme of things, it recognizes that it is about bringing together science, spirituality and philosophy to sustain their distinctions while creating a greater whole that liberates and nurtures the flourishing of life.” (Aviv)“If it's a completely random universe, why does it need to do anything? Why doesn't it just stay in bed? Why does it need to develop life forms? What's the urge by which life wants to develop, and evolve, and move forward? Where does that urge come from? Because it clearly exists, because the evidence of it is right there. So there's an urge underlying all of organic life to, in some way, be functional and be moving forward and developing. So what is that urge? Where does it come from? And how come it's there?” (David) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteThe Revelation of Knowledge – Current Openings #22
The Hulu's series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family' has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series.

Laura discusses the curious missing calls from Murdaugh's call log, and how, despite the call records showing his many calls to reach Maggie, his behaviour reveals he consciously avoided going to the kennels to speak with Maggie. Laura also gets into the 4820 data points that tracked Murdaugh's Suburban that night and how he travelled on dark country roads at 80mph, whilst texting his lawyer friend. The data, when paired with Murdaugh's behaviour, paint a powerful picture of events on June 7.

During today's episode, Sharon shared the remarkable journey of her company, including how it raised $3.8 million in funding and acquired a groundbreaking stroke rehabilitation startup, Imago Rehab.Sharon explained that their success stems from a commitment to creating solutions that improve lives. “It's about really making connections and growing community with like-minded people who understand mission-driven businesses that work for good as well as doing good,” she said. This philosophy helped Health Care Originals achieve groundbreaking milestones, including closing a $1.1 million Reg CF round and securing significant venture capital investments.The acquisition of Imago Rehab exemplifies Sharon's vision. The startup, which develops robotic gloves for stroke rehabilitation using Harvard-developed technology, aligns perfectly with Health Care Originals' mission to deliver tech-enabled healthcare solutions. “We saw in Imago Rehab the kinds of therapies my grandma needed after her stroke. It resonated deeply with me,” Sharon said. The deal, she explained, was also about ensuring the technology reached those who need it most, a value shared by the company's lead investors.Sharon also highlighted how their impact extends to respiratory health. Shortly after winning the SuperCrowdLA awards, Health Care Originals became the exclusive respiratory care provider for a health coalition representing 400,000 lives. The company's ability to integrate proprietary hardware, AI, and specialized therapy continues to drive growth and innovation.For those inspired by mission-driven entrepreneurship, Sharon's story provides a roadmap. By combining purpose and perseverance, Health Care Originals isn't just a company—it's a movement. If you're interested in supporting their journey, consider exploring their offerings or participating in their crowdfunding efforts.tl;dr:Health Care Originals raised $3.8 million, including $1.1 million through a crowdfunding campaign.The company acquired Imago Rehab, a startup developing robotic gloves for stroke rehabilitation.Sharon outlined how mission-driven innovation drives their impact-focused healthcare solutions.Sharon's superpower, resilience, has been key to overcoming challenges and driving the company forward.Health Care Originals integrates AI, hardware, and therapy to deliver transformative healthcare solutions.How to Develop Resilience As a SuperpowerSharon describes her superpower as resilience—her ability to persevere and overcome challenges without giving up. Reflecting on this trait, she shared, “What has become evident to me over the last year is that I don't give up.” Sharon's unyielding determination has been pivotal in navigating the hurdles of leading a startup, from raising capital to acquiring and integrating other businesses. Her ability to stay focused and committed to her mission, even in the face of adversity, defines her approach to entrepreneurship.One powerful example of Sharon's resilience came from her first job as the only female engineer in a 50-year-old, failing factory with outdated equipment. Despite the challenges, she worked tirelessly to restore operations, eventually increasing production by 33%. The validation of her efforts came from the factory's furnace designer, who recognized her unique understanding of the process and her unwavering commitment to improvement.To develop resilience, Sharon suggests finding a clear purpose and staying passionate about what drives you. She explains, “If you find something you're sure you want to do and it makes you happy, it helps you to not give up.” She also emphasizes the importance of staying grounded and resisting the urge to let past experiences cloud your judgment.By following Sharon's example and advice, you can make resilience a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Regular energy drink use pushes your heart and blood vessels into a constant stress state that medications and fitness can't override while stimulants remain in your system Severe blood pressure spikes and dangerous heart rhythm events have occurred in people drinking energy drinks who appeared healthy and had no prior heart disease Energy drinks stack caffeine with other stimulants and added sugar, creating a combined strain that overwhelms normal cardiovascular control mechanisms Low cellular energy drives the urge to rely on stimulants, but energy drinks mask the problem rather than restoring real energy production Removing energy drinks and rebuilding cellular energy through food, movement, and daily structure helps your heart regain stability and lowers real cardiovascular risk
