Rescuers in Venezuela are racing to reach thousands still missing after two powerful earthquakes struck seconds apart, with at least 235 people confirmed dead, hundreds still trapped, and U.S. search teams now heading to help. The Supreme Court handed President Trump two big immigration wins, clearing the way for his administration to strip legal status from hundreds of thousands of immigrants and making it harder for migrants to claim asylum at the border. And President Trump is trying to win back farmers hurt by his own tariffs and the Iran war, dangling 11 billion dollars in new aid even as many in farm country say they'd rather have good profits than government checks.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

This is part four of a ten-part podcast series documenting the European Industrial Hemp Association's 23rd Annual Conference in Poznan, Poland, at the Institute of Fiber Plants and Medicinal Medicine, June 10-12. Jan Slaski, hemp researcher and plant breeder at InnoTech Alberta, has spent nearly a quarter-century developing industrial hemp on the Canadian prairies. He came to Canada from Poland in 1993 and started hemp research in 2001, testing nearly 90 varieties from around the world to find what worked on the Canadian prairies. His team at InnoTech Alberta addresses the entire value chain — from seed to final product — across genetics, agronomy, processing and engineering. But Slaski's real battle has been cultural, not agronomic. People conflate industrial hemp (low-THC fiber crops) with cannabis (high-THC intoxicating plants). Even at trade shows, visitors holding hemp seeds ask if they'll get high. "This thing between hemp and cannabis, because you know, just like a word matters, how people perceive reality, you know they perceive through words, right?" he said. For 25 years, Slaski has been destigmatizing industrial hemp — fighting regulatory confusion and consumer misunderstanding. His current focus is artificial intelligence applied to hemp breeding. Using drone technology and computer vision, his team is developing tools to automatically identify male plants in seed production — work currently done by hand. Beyond genetics, Slaski emphasizes that reliable feedstock matters most. In Canada, hemp breaks disease cycles that devastate canola. Farmers generate income while improving soil health. The conference message: industrial hemp has moved from abstract "world-saving" rhetoric to practical business.

Annie Farmer testified during Ghislaine Maxwell's federal trial that she was just 16 years old when Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein flew her to Epstein's ranch in New Mexico under the guise of an academic retreat. Farmer explained that she initially believed the trip was meant to provide her with educational and career opportunities. Instead, she said the experience quickly turned uncomfortable and exploitative. She recalled Maxwell giving her a massage during which Maxwell touched her breasts, an incident that left her feeling frozen and terrified. She also testified that Epstein had climbed into her bed unexpectedly and caressed her without consent. Farmer described feeling "panicked" and manipulated by two adults who had promised mentorship and safety.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
On this week's Lang Fairy Tales episode we have another triple-bill - though these ones are all slightly wonky...We begin with Rapunzel, a tale with its roots in ancient Persian mythology, although what the Langs do with it leaves a little to be desired!Next up it's The Nettle Spinner, another Charles Deulin legend out of Flanders which seems to speak to the power of the Protestant work ethic in the face of villainy!Last then comes Farmer Weatherbeard, a story drawn from Norse mythology that gets completely muddled in translation, missing the point of the original and focusing not on the apprentice who undoes his master, but on the apprentice's father, who has very little to recommend him as a protagonist...Collectively, it makes for an episode of slightly broken stories - and, in turn, some really interesting chats about them which we hope you enjoy!Speak to you again on Saturday for our Essex-themed Three Ravens Live Show from Great Dunmow BookFest and, as soon as it's not too hot to sit and record it, our Patreon Exclusive episode for June all about The History and Folklore of Boardgames!If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

A guide to restoring the ancient relationship between farming and magic• Explores how to reconnect with nature and use practical, nature-based magic for gardening and farming, fertility, and abundance• Examines Moon work, plant magic, forest deities, Earth energies, weather magic, the cosmology of ritual, and how to work with land spirits• Discusses folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition, Western esotericism, alchemy, Kabbalah, and shamanism as well as Taoist principles and ReikiMagic and farming, in the minds of ancient people, were not separate realms of life, but both were woven inextricably into the way people lived. Through libations, prayers, hymns, dances, sacrifices, and rituals, ancient farmers connected to the sacred forces, the gods, nature spirits, and ancestors to make the crops grow, keep the herds healthy, the weather favorable, and release energies of fertility. These rural farmer priests and priestesses of the ancient past are the spiritual ancestors of today's cunning farmers.This book explores folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition and the practices of witches and cunning folk for increased fertility. Todd draws on Western esotericism, Taoist principles, alchemy, Kabbalah, Reiki, and shamanism to show how to use practical, nature-based magic, just like our ancestors, for more abundant gardening and farming. He shows how to work with land spirits, including meeting the place spirit of your land—the genius loci. He also explores working with Earth and Moon energies, plant magic and forest deities, and ritual. Learn how to deepen your connection to elemental and celestial forces and explore the idea of rewilding the imagination to enhance your relationship with nature and the spirits that call it home.This book is not just a guide to farming, but to forging a relationship with the living land. It shows that we are surrounded by spiritual powers and, with their help, we can re-enchant and reconnect with the land that gives us life.Todd Elliott is a farmer, earth worker, Reiki master, Druid, and was certified as an Astrological Magician by Renaissance Astrology. A lifelong student of mythology, religion, spirituality, folklore, and esoterica, he lives, works, writes, and studies on a small ridgetop farm in north central Kentucky, where he and his family ethically raise vegetables, fruits, and livestock.https://substack.com/@thecunningfarmerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Most Americans think they live in a free market.But if that's true, why do we keep ending up with fewer airlines, fewer hospitals, fewer pharmacies, fewer banks, fewer food processors, and fewer choices?In this episode of Common Sense with Chad Law, we take a hard look at the forgotten conservative history of antitrust, trustbusting, and competition. From Theodore Roosevelt and Standard Oil to Reagan and AT&T, we explore why conservatives once saw concentrated corporate power as a threat—and why that conversation disappeared.We'll break down how government intervention, regulation, consolidation, lobbying, and market concentration created an economy where giant corporations increasingly dominate healthcare, technology, food, airlines, banking, and communications.This isn't an argument against capitalism.It's an argument for competition.Because capitalism isn't giant corporations.Capitalism is the freedom to take your business somewhere else.Topics include:• Standard Oil• AT&T and the Reagan breakup• Google's dominance• Healthcare consolidation• PBMs and prescription drug costs• Food industry concentration• Defense contractor consolidation• Government regulation and barriers to entry• Competition vs competitors• Why your paycheck doesn't go as far as it used toIf you enjoy thoughtful conversations about economics, politics, public policy, and common sense solutions, subscribe and share the show.00:00 The Illusion of Monopolies00:27 The Burden of Regulation06:20 The Myth of Free Markets11:48 The Conservative Legacy of Antitrust20:00 Lessons from History: Standard Oil and AT&T26:45 The Pressure of Competition in a Free Market28:27 The Role of Conservatives in Trustbusting28:52 Government Intervention and Market Consequences31:01 The Cycle of Government Fixes and Market Distortion32:53 The Impact of Regulations on Small Businesses36:17 The Creation of Monopolies through Government Meddling38:07 The Loop of Market Concentration and Political Influence41:12 The Healthcare Market and Its Concentration46:05 The Modern Monopoly: Google and Its Influence51:42 Concentration in the Food Industry57:38 The Squeeze on Farmers and Consumers59:34 The Velvet Rope of the Food Market01:00:11 The Role of Middlemen in Healthcare01:01:33 The Airline Industry's Struggles01:03:25 Concentration of Power Across Industries01:04:10 The Confusion of Antitrust Principles01:07:46 The Shift from Building to Bargaining01:11:12 The Path to Restoring Competition01:12:19 Lessons from History: The Breakup of Ma Bell01:14:09 The Call to Action for Competition
On this episode of the Insurance Coffee House, Nick Hoadley is joined by Anne Arnold, Director of Talent Acquisition at Farmers Insurance®. With a career that began in the entertainment industry before moving into agency recruiting and eventually in-house talent acquisition, Anne shares how an unexpected career move led her into a profession she has now spent more than two decades building.Anne reflects on her transition from agency recruiting into corporate talent acquisition, first helping build the function from scratch at a real estate investment trust and later joining Farmers Insurance, where she has spent the last ten years. From establishing the executive recruiting capability to leading enterprise-wide talent acquisition, she shares how her role evolved and what has kept her excited about the opportunities within the insurance industry.Nick and Anne discuss the scale and complexity of hiring across a national organisation. Despite having a lean team, Farmers hires between 4,000 and 5,000 people annually, and Anne explains the processes, discipline, and technology that allow the team to manage more than 150,000 applications each year. She discusses how technology has helped improve efficiency and candidate engagement while reinforcing her belief that recruitment remains fundamentally a human business.The conversation explores how technology is being used behind the scenes to support recruiters, automate administrative tasks, and surface highly qualified candidates more quickly. Anne explains why understanding the problem you're trying to solve matters more than adopting technology for its own sake, and why recruiters should focus on using new tools to create more time for conversations, relationships, and better candidate experiences.Nick and Anne also discuss leadership, authenticity, and building strong partnerships. Anne shares her views on hiring leaders, working with external search firms, and the importance of listening, transparency, and creating environments where people feel comfortable sharing ideas and learning from mistakes. She reflects on the lessons she has learned as a leader and why trusting your own experience and using your voice are essential to professional growth.Connect with Anne Arnold on LinkedIn to follow her work in talent acquisition, leadership, and people development.The Insurance Coffee House Podcast is brought to you by Insurance Search.We are a global Insurance Executive Search Consultancy, supporting Insurance and Insurtech businesses to attract and retain the very best insurance talent.Find out more about showcasing your employer brand as a guest on the Insurance Coffee House Podcast or sign up to our News and Insights.Or follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram.Insurance Executive Search Consultants in USA, London and Bermuda.Copyright Insurance Search 2025 - All Rights Reserved.

Maria Farmer, one of the earliest known accusers of Jeffrey Epstein, has alleged that Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell sexually abused her when she was in her late teens in the mid-1990s. Farmer has stated that Epstein and Maxwell recruited her under the pretense of helping her artistic career, then coerced her into sexual encounters at Epstein's New York townhouse and Palm Beach mansion. She has also described being trafficked to other locations where Epstein's powerful friends were present and claims that attempts to report the abuse to authorities were ignored or dismissed, allowing the exploitation to continue. Farmer's testimony has been part of civil claims against Epstein's estate and documents made public through litigation have detailed her accounts of manipulation, isolation, and sexual assault.In addition to her personal abuse claims, Farmer has accused Epstein and Maxwell of operating a larger trafficking network in which vulnerable young women were groomed and exploited. She has provided sworn statements and affidavits asserting that Epstein maintained detailed records and materials related to the abuse, and that individuals in his circle were aware of, or complicit in, the exploitation. Farmer's allegations have contributed to a broader legal and public examination of Epstein's conduct, including claims against his estate by survivors seeking compensation and accountability for decades of alleged trafficking and sexual abuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Family Tree Farms Vice President Daniel Jackson says California agriculture faces significant challenges from water policy uncertainty, but he remains optimistic about the future of farming and the next generation of growers. During the second part of a recent AgNet News Hour interview, Jackson discussed water regulations, labor concerns, blueberry production, and the importance of maintaining California's agricultural legacy. Jackson, whose family has farmed in California since the 1930s, said one of the biggest issues facing growers today is uncertainty surrounding groundwater regulations under California's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). According to Jackson, constantly changing rules create difficulties for farmers making long-term investments in permanent crops such as peaches, almonds, and other tree fruits. “Farmers are not confident,” Jackson said, explaining that growers often do not know what water restrictions they may face several years into the future after making substantial investments in orchards and other perennial crops. He noted that reliable water supplies remain essential for maintaining productive farmland and supporting rural economies throughout California. Jackson emphasized that water infrastructure and storage projects could provide long-term benefits not only for agriculture but also for communities and environmental needs. Despite the challenges, Jackson remains committed to farming in California. He said Family Tree Farms continues to invest in the state while also expanding production into other regions and countries to maintain year-round supplies of fresh produce. Blueberries have become a major component of that strategy. Family Tree Farms now participates in blueberry production and marketing programs across multiple regions, allowing consumers to access fresh blueberries throughout the year. Jackson said demand continues to grow as consumers increasingly recognize the fruit's health benefits. “People need them,” Jackson said while discussing the popularity of blueberries and their reputation as a healthy snack option. California's blueberry season is expected to conclude earlier than normal this year due to unusually warm spring weather that accelerated crop development across many fruit-producing regions. Jackson said growers throughout the industry are seeing earlier harvest timing in numerous commodities, including stone fruit and blueberries. As for Family Tree Farms' stone fruit season, Jackson expects harvests to wrap up sooner than usual. He encouraged consumers to take advantage of peak-season fruit while supplies remain plentiful. Apricots, peaches, nectarines, and other specialty fruits continue to be available through the company's retail and wholesale channels. Beyond crop production, Jackson stressed the importance of encouraging future generations to remain involved in agriculture. He expressed concern that regulatory burdens and uncertainty may discourage young people from entering farming but remains hopeful that California agriculture can continue thriving with strong leadership and common-sense policies. Throughout the conversation, Jackson repeatedly emphasized the critical role farmers play in producing food for consumers and supporting local communities. He noted that agriculture remains one of California's foundational industries and said growers will continue adapting to challenges while working to provide safe, nutritious food. “We want to continue doing what we have a passion for doing,” Jackson said. “It's great to see somebody smile when they eat a big juicy apricot or a peach.”

Helping kids learn the Bible principle, “You reap what you sow.” Therefore, plant good seeds so that you can have a good harvest in your life! When KC visits Farmer Dale, who is busy planting seed, they remember the story of the little boy who gave Jesus his lunch to help feed a large crowd of people. That small lunch was like a small seed compared to how much food was needed to feed all the hungry people. Jesus gave thanks to God for that small lunch and then told His disciples to pass it around to feed all the people. Everyone ate as much as they wanted and there were twelve baskets full of food left over. Jesus took that boy's seed and did a miracle! “God loves a cheerful giver,” 2 Corinthians 9:7. #biblestoriesforkids, #biblelessonsforkids, #generosity, #miraclesofjesus, #kids, #christiankids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #storiesforchristiankids, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbitesforkids, #fishbites4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb

I got this podcast episode idea in the middle of Aldi. Seriously. I was walking down the grocery aisle when a sign stopped me in my tracks. It said: "Shop Aldi First." And I remember thinking: "Dang. That's good." Buried inside that simple phrase was a powerful marketing lesson that applies to almost every direct-to-consumer farm business. Aldi isn't trying to convince customers to buy everything from them. They're trying to become the first stop.
