Jim McTague reports on the cautious economic sentiment in Lancaster County, where despite falling gas prices, consumers remain budget-conscious. While tourism remains strong at venues like the Sight and Sound Theatre, local officials recently rejected a proposed data center in Columbia due to technicalities and concerns over its utility.1880 DIONYSIUS THEATER
Housing affordability may be impacting more than homeownership—it could be affecting population growth itself. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down new research linking rising housing costs to declining birth rates and explores what slowing population growth could mean for future housing demand, home prices, and real estate investors. Plus, lessons from Japan and the demographic trends investors should be watching today. Source: https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/population-decline-2064-housing-market-risk/
Welcome back Book Besties! This week we're diving into ALL of our favorite moments, biggest reveals, standout quotes, emotional scenes, and everything we can't stop thinking about after finishing book two in the Moonfall series by Sarah A. Parker!
Darryl Fairweather, Chief Economist at Redfin and author of Hate the Game: Economic Cheat Codes for Life, Love, and Work, joins us to explain why the housing market is doing something it almost never does here: cooling off.In this episode we break down the recent headlines that stopped Seattleites mid-scroll: prices here are dropping here faster than anywhere else in the country. Fairweather points to the perfect storm behind the slowdown: sky-high mortgage rates hitting expensive markets the hardest, Amazon layoffs, and a local tech sector that's lost the confidence it had pre-pandemic. She says San Francisco is eating Seattle's lunch right now, thanks to its AI boom.But Darryl also sees a silver lining: a slow, steady reset could finally make Seattle more livable and affordable for working people.We also get into the policy fights. Should Seattle build its way out of the crisis with more market-rate housing, or invest in social housing? (She says: yes, and yes.) Why does she think rent control or stabilization backfires? What can Seattle learn from Austin's building boom, and what should it absolutely not copy?And what about AI? Darryl thinks it could genuinely help by speeding up permitting or making modular housing cheaper to build. But she's not buying the hype wholesale. Contractors still need to show up and do the work, and no algorithm is going to fix a bureaucratic bottleneck.Send us a text!

Kevin Hart jokes about falling in the shower in his Netflix special, "Acting My Age".
Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, recaps a strong week as the S&P 500 extends its winning streak and climbs toward fresh record highs. Markets responded to a steady stream of conflicting Iran ceasefire headlines, ultimately pricing in progress toward a near-term resolution. Tech led the way, with semiconductors and AI-linked names driving outsized gains alongside strength in higher-risk sectors. Falling oil prices and lower yields supported equity performance, while Energy and Financials lagged amid shifting macro dynamics. Attention now turns to labor market data, upcoming earnings, and month-end flows as investors assess the durability of the rally.
Are you simply exhausted? Not just "I need a weekend vacation" tired, but the kind of deep exhaustion where you wake up after eight hours of sleep and immediately want a nap? You drag yourself through the day on caffeine and willpower, only to lie awake at 2:00 AM with your brain racing at 100 miles an hour. If you've gone to your doctor, had blood work done, and were told everything looks "absolutely normal," this episode is for you. Falling within a standard reference range just means you aren't outside the population average, it does not mean your body is functioning optimally. There is a massive gap between ruling out a disease and achieving true wellness, and that gap is exactly where hormone-driven fatigue hides. Tune in as we break down the physiological reality of hormonal exhaustion, why standard lab panels keep missing the mark for so many women, and how you can start reading your body's unique data to reclaim your energy. In this episode, you will learn: You will understand why your lab results can look completely fine on paper while your body is sending clear signals that something is deeply off. You will discover how to distinguish between standard everyday fatigue that resolves with rest and physiological hormone-driven exhaustion that does not. You will learn how to decode the four specific fatigue patterns ranging from mid-afternoon crashes to predictable middle-of-the-night wake-ups. You will find out why women are disproportionately dismissed in conventional medical settings and how standard primary care timelines fail complex hormonal cases. You will get a checklist of the exact comprehensive markers that should be evaluated to find the root cause of your fatigue. Special Announcement! Stop guessing and start getting answers. Launching on June 10th, you can take the "Why Am I So Tired?" Assessment. Built on the exact clinical frameworks used in practice, this 10-minute, $17 assessment will help you identify your specific hormone exhaustion pattern so you can give your body what it actually needs. Head over to whyamisotired.hopenaturalhealth.com on June 10th to take control of your health!

Welcome to Episode 73 in our LDS Discussions series!In this episode, we explore the long history of fraud, forgery, and "discernment" within Mormon history –from Joseph Smith's treasure digging and the Kinderhook Plates to the Salamander Letter, Paul Dunn, Tim Ballard, and Jodi Hildebrandt.We discuss why people believe extraordinary claims, the role of critical thinking and skepticism, and whether church leaders who claim divine guidance have actually demonstrated the “Gift of Discernment” they preach about. Along the way, we examine the Book of Abraham, the Kinderhook Plates controversy, Mark Hofmann's forged documents, hidden church history, and modern scandals that continue to raise difficult questions for believers and critics alike.The episode also looks at how faith can remain resilient even after exposure to false claims, and why many argue that institutional dishonesty –rather than belief itself –is the deeper issue.Topics include: Joseph Smith's treasure digging, the Book of Abraham facsimiles, how Elder Oaks defended the Salamander Letter, and the hiding of early Mormon documents. This discussion asks a central question: If church leaders claim special spiritual discernment, why were so many frauds, forgeries, and harmful figures embraced or defended for so long?If you enjoy long-form Mormon history and analysis, consider subscribing and supporting the channel.If you have thoughts on other topics you wish for us to cover, please leave them in the comments!___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals. Our overall mission is to: 1. Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology2. Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis3.

What a show we have planned for you today. We have lots of MAGA moments. Things that will make you proud to be on the Right side of the island.I love where we are right now as conservatives. I peruse the news every day, and I know that there are no pipe bombs waiting to go off. Now Democrats will shoot RPGs at us, but they bounce off, or they are Chinese-made and don't explode.Still Leftists are dangerous, and want to do us harm. The WH shooter, we discussed him yesterday, but we didn't discuss the man who had Trump House. He was killed by Leftists.I haven't checked, but what does Polymarket have on Ilhan Omar getting indicted?The fact that Republicans are naming names is significant. This is DefCon1 for Democrats. It's only one small step to the executioner's chamber, once you're called out.Omar is scared, and she has reason to be. Still, she claims that she's being targeted not for her alleged participation in the frauds, but for being a Muslim.[X] SB – Ilhan Omar says she's targeted for being a MuslimThese people are disgustingAnd believing in this weird sh*t…I'm going to revisit datacenters soon, as I've done a bit more research. Also, I will be discussing American restraint soon. And that show will be worth the price of admission.Right now I want to tell you why racism and Islamophobia is losing its grip.Black Leftists have pretty much used that up. In fact, here's Aaron McGruder, the creator of a Black cartoon called Boondocks.Time is running out. Moral currency used up. White Americans have lost sympathy for blacks.White people have stopped caring. Because they are suffering.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Of Ghosts And Gods" The New Jersey-born, Harvard educated David Berkeley is one of modern music's true renaissance men. Now, people throw that term out a tad lazily but in the case of Berkeley, it truly fits. Aside from releasing close to ten perfect albums, including The Confluence, Some Kind Of Cure and Oh Quiet World, Berkeley is an author, a label owner, and he's been a river rafting guide, a band manager, a travel writer and a creative writing teacher. A writer of tremendous depth, focus and sensitivity, much like Paul Simon or Nick Drake, Berkeley has the uncanny ability to slow the world down and hold it still. Informed by actual geography as well as the geography of loss and emotional reconstruction, Berkeley's songbook is a wondrous collection of compositions that gaze out at the map of the human heart with effortless poeticism and grace. He's toured with Billy Bragg, Ben Lee and Gary Jules, appeared on This American Life and played South By Southwest and he's one of the most consistently critically-acclaimed musicians around. He's also one half of the aforementioned transatlantic folk duo Sons Of Town Hall. Along with singer/songwriter Ben Parker, Sons Of Town Hall are hard to describe, but I'm going to try. Under the guises of Parker's George Ulysses Brown and Berkeley's Josiah Chester Jones, Sons Of Town Hall are fictitious 19th Century Victorian-era vagabonds who sing about their travels by way of a kind of magical hand-built raft. Falling somewhere between Coleridge, Lord Byron by way of Simon and Garfunkel's Wednesday Morning, 3AM, Sons Of Town Hall's new album Of Ghosts and Gods is a stirring collection of songs about travel, friendship, following your heart and staying afloat while doing it. www.davidberkeley.com (http://www.davidberkeley.com) www.sonsoftownhall.com (http://www.sonsoftownhall.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers The Podcast: IG + BLUESKY + THREADS: @emberspodcast

Today on AOTA Shorts: The learning loss hawks are back, maybe, and this time with new data. Almost everywhere in America students are performing worse than their peers were 10 years ago according to new data from the Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford. From 2015-2025 the trend holds for nearly all demographic groups. Wealthy and poor districts, racial groups, students with special needs. It's a disturbing trend, with exacerbating effects for the most marginalized. And, there could be many factors at play in that window of time, including the end of NCLB, the rise of smart phones, the COVID pandemic, rampant mental health concerns for young people, and more. Are the learning loss hawks onto something here, or is there more to the story?

What does it really mean to be “fallen away from grace”? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef clarifies Paul's warning in Galatians 5:4—a passage often misunderstood as teaching that salvation can be lost. Dr. Youssef explains that Paul is addressing believers who are tempted to enslave themselves again to the law—trusting external rules, rituals, or church dogma as though grace needs help to get us to heaven. The Truth is that God's grace saves us, sustains us, and will present us holy and blameless before the Father. “Falling from grace” happens when we stop believing grace is enough and begin living as though it's grace plus something. That “something” may look spiritual—good works, traditions, personal standards—but the moment it becomes a basis for acceptance with God, it turns gratitude into repayment and replaces Gospel freedom with legalism. Dr. Youssef reminds us: if salvation is by works, it is no longer a gift (Romans 6:23). And if we teach “grace plus,” we are denying the exclusive saving name of Jesus (Acts 4:12) and the God-given nature of faith itself (Ephesians 2:8–10). This episode calls you to guard your heart from subtle legalism and return to the all-sufficient grace of Christ—so your confidence rests where it belongs: in Jesus alone. Prayer: Father, give me the wisdom to discern those times when I begin to add to Your Gospel for my salvation and to repent and rest in Your finished work of salvation. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace” (Galatians 5:4). Learn more in Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon Got Freedom?, Freedom Not Excuses: LISTEN NOW The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

In this episode, we are joined by Shelly Antoniewicz, Chief Economist at the Investment Company Institute (ICI), for a data-rich exploration of the modern fund industry. Shelly walks us through the staggering scale of global regulated funds, how ETFs and mutual funds shape capital allocation, and why the rise of indexing may not be as disruptive as critics fear. We discuss the growth of ETFs versus mutual funds, increasing concentration among large fund sponsors, and how financial advisors are reshaping portfolios around low-cost investment products. Shelly also explains why fund fees keep falling, how 401(k) plans have democratized investing for middle-class households, and why investor choice remains central to healthy capital markets. Along the way, we unpack active ETFs, intraday liquidity, interval funds, private credit exposure, and the evolving role of retail investors in financial markets.

Two women have told a BBC Panorama investigation they were raped during the filming of one of Channel 4's biggest shows, Married at First Sight UK, while a third has described an allegation of a non-consensual sex act. Channel 4 has now removed all episodes of the programme from its streaming and linear services and commissioned an external review of welfare on the show. The programme makers CPL have said its welfare system was ‘gold standard'. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC News' Lizo Mzimba and Helen Wood, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Aston in Birmingham.Many women live with fibromyalgia for life - chronic pain, exhaustion, brain fog - with no clear cure. But some doctors say that for women with breast implants, the story may be different. Rheumatology Professor Jan Willem Cohen Tervaer from the University of Alberta explains why some patients improve after their implants are removed, and why he believes the condition of Breast Implant Illness deserves recognition from the medical community. Nuala is also joined by Professor Lynda Wyld, President Elect of the Association of Breast Surgeons in the UK to explain the position currently held by the medical profession in the UK. We discuss a new play that unfolds entirely in the ladies loos. April Hope Miller wrote and performs in ‘Flush', it was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and it's just opened at the Arcola Theatre in London. April and co-star Jazz Jenkins tell Nuala why the real drama on any night out is always to be found in the women's toilets. And why it took an ensemble cast of five, playing no less 16 different characters between them, to capture something universal about women's lives.School closures in England may be disproportionately affecting children with special educational needs and disabilities. File on Four Investigates has been looking into this in the run up to government reforms of the SEND system, and Nuala is joined by BBC education reporter and former primary school teacher Hayley Clarke. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Helen Fitzhenry
Today: the growing health and economic consequences of vaccine-preventable diseases. Ben Lopman, professor of epidemiology, global health, and environmental health at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, discusses the new Vaccine Impact Map, an interactive tool designed to help public health officials visualize how declining vaccination coverage could affect their states over time. Later, Bryan Patenaude, associate professor of economic evaluation and health economics at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, breaks down the financial realities of measles outbreaks and why even relatively small outbreaks can carry massive costs for public health systems, hospitals, insurers, and families.

How do we preserve family, community, and truth in a culture that seems to be moving faster and faster away from them?In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, I sat down with my friend Rory Groves for a thoughtful conversation about modern culture, technology, family economy, and what many families are sensing right now: that something important has been lost.Using the republished book Henry and the Great Society as a starting point, we talked about how modernization changed family life, community, work, and even the way we think about self-sufficiency. We also discussed why history matters and how looking backward can help us move forward with more intentionality.This conversation touches on: Family economy and durable living The tension between independence and community Why intentionality matters more than ever Building culture for future generations Encouragement for families trying to live differently in uncertain times I really appreciated Rory's perspective and his heart for helping families think deeply about what it means to build a life that lasts.Links Mentioned:- Grab your copy of Henry and the Great Society here: https://homeward.press - Find Rory's book, Durable Trades here: https://www.thegrovestead.com/product/durable-trades/- Learn more about the Gather and Grow events here: https://gatherandgrow.us
Just like the ceasefire with Iran, Trump's standing in the polls has effectively collapsed, but Democrats aren't performing better on the generic ballot. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss why, and what Democrats can do about it. They also react to the latest chaos in the Strait of Hormuz, the Trump administration's effort to blame the demise of Spirit Airlines on Joe Biden, and whether Republicans really might convince John Fetterman to switch parties. Then, Jon talks to Strict Scrutiny's Melissa Murray about the recent court rulings on mifepristone, new threats to safe and legal abortion, and Melissa's new book "The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader."Friends of the Pod subscribers on Apple Podcasts will receive today's ad-free episode a few hours later than the regular release due to a technical issue.
