Should I Turn Down My Inheritance? Episode 386 – Why would you ever choose NOT to accept an inheritance? There are a few good reasons. And it's doable if you decide that's what you want. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 386 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: should I turn down my inheritance? So, a family member has died recently and left some assets to you. You should be happy you've been left an inheritance, but it's complicated. Maybe you'd rather the money went to someone else. Or maybe, for whatever reason, it's just not worth the trouble. Do you have to accept it? The answer is no. Why would you ever choose not to accept assets that someone has given to you? There are a few situations where it makes sense. One case might be related to federal or state estate taxes. If you're already a high-net-worth individual who may have an estate tax issue, it may be better to disclaim, assuming your preferred beneficiary is next in line. This is especially true if the next beneficiaries are your children, who are likely to inherit your assets eventually. Why subject the assets to an extra layer of taxation on the way there? Also, inheriting certain assets, such as a traditional IRA, can be very complicated. When you inherit an IRA, unless you're a surviving spouse, current tax law requires you to withdraw the funds—and pay income taxes along the way—within ten years. If you're in a high-income tax bracket, you might not end up with as much as you hoped for. The next person in line, who might be in a lower income tax bracket, could end up with more money after taxes. And they may need the income more than you do. One sophisticated strategy some people use is to set up their favorite charity as a secondary beneficiary to their estate. If the IRA owner trusts his or her heirs' judgment, he or she could leave the IRA to them. They would then figure out whether it makes sense to disclaim the IRA, allowing it to pass to the charity. This could result in considerable income tax savings.[1] Sometimes there are other reasons you might choose to disclaim. The asset could be a rundown piece of real estate with deferred maintenance or environmental issues. In a case like that, you might decide that you just don't want it. Or maybe you simply don't need it. That could be a key consideration if the next person in line is your child or someone else you care about. Just keep in mind that it gets tricky if the new inheritor is a minor. Minors are considered legally incapable of owning assets directly, so they generally can't assume control or management of inherited assets. A court-appointed legal guardianship may be required.[2] So, what happens if you decide the answer is “no, thanks?” You would then need to file what's called a “qualified disclaimer.” If you do it properly, the assets pledged to you will be passed along to the next person in line. Although every state and every situation is different, here are some generic rules you might need to follow:[3] The disclaimer must be in writing. It also needs to be irrevocable and without any qualifications. Once you decide to disclaim, you can't change your mind. Also, you're not allowed to make it contingent on something else happening or not happening. The disclaimer must be made before you accept the assets. You can't give them back once you have them. It must be made in a timely manner. You generally need to submit the disclaimer within 9 months. However, there is an exception if the beneficiary is under age 21. In that case, the deadline is nine months after they reach age 21.[4] The disclaimer also needs to be unlimited. You're not going to be able to attach any conditions to the disclaimer. Note that it is also possible to execute a partial qualified disclaimer, but it can be tricky. For example, if you're scheduled to receive a certain number of shares in a publicly traded company, you may be able to keep a selected percentage of those shares while disclaiming the rest.[5] It's important to understand that a qualified disclaimer has its limitations. Maybe the most important of those is that you have to completely give up any right to the disclaimed assets. In other words, if you say no, you don't get to choose what happens next. You'll need to look closely to see where the money will end up if you disclaim. You might prefer that your children be next in line, but it's not your choice. If it's actually your long-lost cousin Ethel, that could also be a factor in your decision. It's not often that people are in a position to decline inherited assets. But in certain situations, it's nice to know that it can be done, if it makes sense.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner of Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Impact of Tennessee Hemp Bill, Discussion of Polypharmacy & Deprescribing  with Dr. Curt Dearing [0:00:00] Ed's Media & Product Updates Preview of main topics: Upcoming Tennessee hemp bill and its negative impact on people using hemp for anxiety, pain, and insomnia. Dr. Curt Deering will discuss polypharmacy and deprescribing. Ed's recent appearances on multiple TV outlets (Fox Phoenix & LA, Be Well NY, CBS Detroit). Discussion of testing the AquaTru water filtration system at home as a potential recommendation (microplastics, partial fluoride removal). Mention that peptides are a growing topic; reference to Noel Lawson as go‑to for prescribed peptides [0:10:42]  Tennessee Hemp Bill & Hemp Industry Impact Introduces guest: Dwayne Madden, owner of Hemp House, as a respected local expert. As of July 1 in Tennessee: All Delta‑8 products will no longer be available for in‑state sale. Many THCA products and all vape products will be gone from shops. CBD and Delta‑9 edibles will have caps: Max 15 mg per serving. Max 300 mg per package. Dwayne notes: Heavy users (e.g., serious pain/conditions) will need to consume many servings to reach effective doses. Law doesn't limit how many packages a person can buy, so total milligrams aren't truly stopped—just made inconvenient. Dwayne explains regulatory control moved: From Tennessee Department of Agriculture (2017–2023) To the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Commission) Board. Key impacts: All products must now go through distributors, similar to alcohol. Distributors collect taxes and sit between producers and retailers. Small operators like Dwayne cannot qualify for distributor licenses , so he must pay a distributor to move product from his own lab to his own stores. Ed frames this as “follow the money trail” and a way to crush competition. In Tennessee after July 1: No in‑state online hemp sales. Banned products (Delta‑8, etc.) not criminalized for possession or use, only for sale. Potential Workaround: Consumers can order from out‑of‑state websites (e.g., North Carolina), receive products in Tennessee Money leaves the local economy, hurting Tennessee businesses. Ed and Dwayne suggest alcohol industry is likely threatened because many people are reducing alcohol use by using hemp products instead  Dwayne notes: Alcohol sales have declined while hemp sales rose. Regulators appear to be protecting alcohol interests via hemp restrictions. [0:17:41] Federal Regulations & State Opt‑Outs Upcoming federal regulations in November: Expected to be similarly “ugly and nasty” for hemp nationwide. States will have an option to opt out of these federal hemp rules. Tennessee's stance: Governor has stated Tennessee will NOT opt out, so federal restrictions will apply here. Other states (e.g., North Carolina) might opt out, keeping their markets more open. Industry response: Advocacy groups Tennessee Growers Coalition and Hemp Law Group monitor legislation and organize pushback. Some supportive legislators exist, but political drive to reverse current law is limited. Dwayne and Ed distinguish: Reasonable regulation (ID checks, lab tests, dosage clarity, education) vs. A “wipeout/control/takeover” by shifting to ABC and forcing distributor reliance. Dwayne: Says credible local shops (Hemp House, Chattanooga peers like BeeGrity, Snapdragon, etc.) already follow high standards. States this law is not about safety but about control and revenue capture, and will hurt small farmers and businesses. [0:25:55] What Consumers Should Do Before Deadline Practical advice: Stock up now on products that will disappear: Delta‑8 gummies (popular for sleep, anxiety, pain). Other higher‑milligram THC/CBD edibles. Flower and vapes. Hemp House is running clearance sales to move remaining inventory. Dosing notes: Many people do well with ½ Delta‑8 gummy for sleep/anxiety/pain. Some need more or less; staff helps tailor doses for goals. Hemp House will close its North Shore/Tremont Street flagship store by July 1 due to expected sales hit. Remaining Hemp House locations: Ringgold Road (East Ridge) near Spring Creek. Ooltewah by Food City on Lee Highway. Hixson Pike near Workout Anytime and Publix. Broader impact: Other Chattanooga hemp businesses have large staffs (some near 100 employees) and will be heavily affected. The industry is described as grassroots, farmer‑driven, and passionately quality‑focused. [0:33:20] Polypharmacy & Deprescribing with Dr. Curt Dearing Ed introduces Dr. Curt Dearing, clinical pharmacist at Nutrition World (30+ years experience). Curt's background: Formerly fully conventional pharmacist; later “veil lifted” as he discovered green pharmacy (nutritional & botanical alternatives). Current mission: Community outreach to medical schools and residency programs Teach about nutritional and natural alternatives not covered in standard curriculums. Traditional training provides almost zero meaningful nutrition or green pharmacy education. Polypharmacy: use of 5 or more prescription medications. Curt notes: Majority of Americans 65+ meet this definition. Average American receives ~17 prescriptions per year (not all concurrent). Consequences: Increased ER visits due to drug side effects. Estimated ~250,000 deaths/year from drug‑induced causes. Curt's role: Specializes in deprescribing: safely reducing or eliminating unnecessary pharmaceuticals and replacing them with effective natural options when possible.  How Curt Works with Patients & Their Doctors Curt provides coaching, not independent prescribing. Creates detailed packets (10–18+ pages) explaining: Why certain drugs may no longer be needed. Evidence for natural alternatives (e.g., supplements, lifestyle changes). Encourages clients to take the packet to their doctor and have an informed discussion. Patients often fear how their doctors will react to attempts to deprescribe. Green Pharmacy Approach (as described by Dr. Curt Dearing) Using nutritional, botanical, and lifestyle-based therapies either instead of or alongside pharmaceuticals. Focusing on root causes and supporting the body's own healing mechanisms, not just pushing lab numbers in a certain direction. Why polypharmacy is a problem: Increases side effects, drug–drug interactions, and emergency room visits. Contributes to cognitive decline, gut problems, and overall worse health. Often leads to the “prescribing cascade”: Drug A causes side effects → a new drug is added for those side effects → more side effects → more drugs, and so on. How Dr. Curt Dearing uses green pharmacy to reduce polypharmacy: Curt creates a comprehensive list of all medications and supplements. Asks: “Why was this started?” and “Is it still needed?” Looks for: Drugs with no clear current indication. Drugs where a natural option can give similar or better benefit with fewer risks. Drugs that can be safely tapered or sometimes stopped outright (always in coordination with the prescriber). Identifies which meds are likely causing the most harm or least benefit. Some drugs require slow, structured tapering (e.g., sleep meds, acid blockers). Others may be candidates for direct discontinuation after medical agreement. Replacing or supporting with natural alternatives ( please note this is not medical advice, this is a discussion of personal examples in collaboration with medical oversight) Cholesterol: Instead of (or in place of some) statin use, Curt uses berberine and bergamot (Berbercol). In Ed's brother's case, his cholesterol numbers improved on green-pharmacy options, matching or exceeding statin outcomes without the same side‑effect burden. Pain & inflammation: Uses curcumin (for most people), and Boswellia when curcumin isn't enough. Gut/acid issues: Long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole) is flagged as harmful to gut microbiome and nutrient absorption. Curt builds step-down plans (tapering PPIs) while supporting the gut with natural measures instead of leaving people on a PPI for 30 years. Focus on side benefits, not side effects. Green pharmacy interventions are chosen because they: Address root causes (e.g., metabolic health, inflammation, gut integrity). Often have multiple positive effects (e.g., berberine helping blood sugar and lipids; curcumin helping joints and systemic inflammation). The aim is fewer total drugs, fewer side effects, better overall function. Clients are encouraged to work with their doctor, so deprescribing is: Planned, Monitored, and Integrated with their existing care. Curt and Ed both acknowledge there are situations where “rescue medicine” is necessary: Severe pain where an opioid is appropriate. Acute crises where drugs are needed as a bandage. The green pharmacy view: Use those drugs as short‑term tools, Then remove or reduce them once the immediate crisis passes, While implementing natural strategies to decrease the need for long‑term prescriptions. [0:56:26] Final Segment  At‑home HPV testing for cervical cancer Ed explains HPV is a major driver of cervical cancer Historically, women had to schedule an in‑office visit for cervical screening, which creates barriers (cost, fear, time, discomfort, lack of insurance). He notes there is now an option for at‑home HPV testing for cervical screening. Intended to increase access for women who aren't getting regular screening. Ed strongly approves of this as a valuable preventive tool and encourages women who haven't been tested to consider it. Ed cites new data showing: Microplastics are found in 100% of human stool samples tested in one study. Higher levels of microplastics are now being linked to gallstones. Broader concerns: Everyday plastic exposure (especially with food and drink) means these particles can: Interact with cells, Drive inflammation, Contribute to premature cellular aging and reduced energy. Practical countermeasures he recommends: Avoid heating food in plastic or placing hot food into plastic containers/wrap (e.g., Saran wrap, plastic take‑out containers). Filter drinking water to remove microplastics (he's trialing the AquaTru system at home, which he says removes 100% of microplastics and much of the fluoride). Improve indoor air quality to reduce airborne microplastic exposure. Ed highlights a serious, long‑term job opening at Nutrition World: Not a summer or short‑term job. Best for someone philosophically aligned with healthy eating and the “green pharmacy” approach. Interested candidates should: Go into the store and speak with Scott, Elisha, or Matt and complete an application.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – May 31, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This series is dedicated to exploring little-known—and occasionally useful—trinkets lurking in the dusty corners of UNIX-like operating systems. In UNIX Curio #4 ( HPR episode 4617 ), I teased the subject of file compression. Today I'm circling back to that. The history of data compression goes back at least to the 1970s, and in contexts outside UNIX and computers, probably even earlier. Somehow, it is refreshing to learn that humans have always struggled to have enough storage space to keep all the data they want to hang on to. One way around this limitation is to use some form of compression. I am only going to dive into lossless compression for this episode—that is, a compression method that can be reversed and will spit out the original data bit for bit. Lossy compression methods also have their places: you might be familiar with their use for audio (such as Ogg Vorbis or MP3); it's also used for images (such as JPEG). Lossy compression allows some of the original data to be thrown away, resulting in a smaller file than is possible with lossless compression, but the intent is for the result to still sound or look "good enough" to a human observer. Also, I am going to limit my discussion to generic methods used for many types of data; while FLAC does lossless compression, it is specifically designed just for audio. I should make clear that I have never studied computer science or information theory, so this episode will not get into the science behind various types of compression algorithms and how they differ. But in general, these methods take advantage of the fact that many types of data have recurring patterns. English text mostly consists of words that often re-appear many times—source code similarly has keywords and variable names that recur. Compression is accomplished by representing a piece of data that occurs multiple times with a symbol that is shorter in length. The first compression program in the UNIX world I could find is called pack , from 1978 1 . It was shortly followed in 1979 by a similar program called compact 2 . Both of these used a technique called Huffman coding, but with some differences between them. Files compressed with pack were given a .z extension and compact gave filenames a .C extension. Roughly every five or ten years after this, a new program would come along and achieve lasting popularity. There were, and still are, two opposing forces facing any new form of compression. Working in favor was the advantages it provided—first among these was achieving a better compression ratio, but performance improvements such as speed or reduced memory usage could also be compelling. The force against any new method was the fact that it was not yet widely supported—it doesn't much help to have a smaller file if the people you share it with cannot decompress it. The next major advance in compression arose out of three scientific papers: two in 1977 and 1978 by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv (called LZ77 and LZ78), and one by Terry Welch in 1984 which built on LZ78. This last method is typically referred to as LZW. Our UNIX Curio for today is a program called compress 3 that implements the LZW method. Files compressed this way are named with the extension .Z . I had always assumed that this was to honor Jacob Ziv, but now that I've researched the history, it seems more likely to be a follow-on from how files compressed by pack were named. Since pack did not use any of the Lempel-Ziv methods, I would guess that it used .z because that wasn't already taken by anything else, but that's pure speculation. I do recall encountering .Z files in the wild, but feel certain that hasn't happened in the last 25 years, maybe longer. If you need to expand one of these, uncompress 4 is the program to use ( GNU's gunzip can also handle them 5 ). However, there was a serious problem that arose with the LZ78 and LZW compression methods. Both of them were patented, and the owner became aggressive in seeking payment from developers and users. The compress utility was developed within two months of the publication of Welch's 1984 paper and was included in Bell Laboratories' Eighth Edition UNIX before these shakedowns started. The paper did not disclose that a patent had been filed, and apparently Spencer Thomas and the other developers of compress were unaware of it. The utility became popular for a while, and was even standardized by POSIX, but people moved away from LZW once the legal threats started. Another important advance came in 1991 and was called the DEFLATE compression method. It combined the un-patented LZ77 method with Huffman coding to achieve a similar level of compression as LZW (actually, often better) without the legal trouble. DEFLATE was developed for PKZIP and was soon adopted by the GNU project's gzip compressor. While Phil Katz (the "PK" in PKZIP ) patented one way of implementing the DEFLATE method, it was possible to write a compressor and decompressor without infringing 6 ; also, he apparently never tried to enforce the patent 7 . As I mentioned in UNIX Curio #4, .zip is both an archive and a compression format. Each archive member can be compressed with one of several possible methods (or stored without compression). Unlike a tar file where compression can be applied to the entire archive, in .zip each archive member is compressed individually. This often means a .zip file will be slightly bigger than a tar file with the same contents compressed with gzip , because the .zip format cannot take advantage of duplication that occurs among more than one member of the archive. The vast majority of .zip files use only the DEFLATE and uncompressed storage methods and these are the only options if you want to follow the profile standardized in ISO/IEC 21320-1. Actually, since they both use DEFLATE, gzip is able to extract a .zip file in the special case where it only holds one member compressed with that method. From the 1990s onward, people paid significant attention to avoiding patent landmines, so only methods that didn't have that problem became broadly popular. While the patents on LZ78 and LZW have since expired, I feel like their most successful legacy was in discouraging people from using those methods, leading to DEFLATE taking the popularity crown. The next step came in 1996 and 1997 with the development of bzip and bzip2 by Julian Seward. The original method was quickly followed by bzip2 , which was the version that achieved true popularity. They use the Burrows-Wheeler transform, which does not itself compress data but re-arranges it to make it more compressible; this is combined with other techniques 8 . (At least, that's my understanding. I told you, I'm not up on information theory.) This provides a significant reduction in the compressed size of the data compared to earlier methods—however, it is slower than DEFLATE both during compression and decompression. Separate projects have developed parallel versions of gzip and bzip2 that can take advantage of multi-processor machines, but the original utilities run single-threaded. Another five years later, in 2001, Igor Pavlov added the Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm (LZMA), an enhancement to LZ77, to his 7-Zip compression tool. This was followed a few years later by LZMA2, a container format that allowed for LZMA compression to be split between multiple threads. Broad LZMA2 support came to the UNIX world in 2009 with the xz utility 9 . It offers roughly similar compression ratios to bzip2 , though it can be better or worse depending on the data to be compressed. While compression generally takes even longer than bzip2 , decompression is significantly faster (though still not as fast as gzip ). The Linux kernel relatively quickly supported booting from xz-compressed images 10 because it was a good match for that use case—compression, the time-consuming activity, only has to be done once while the more frequent decompression during boot happens relatively fast. The last method I will cover is Zstandard 11 , often written as zstd . This came about in 2015, and is another variation on LZ77 that uses finite-state entropy (which means nothing to me, but you might understand it). It performs about as well as DEFLATE in terms of compression ratios, but is much faster both when compressing and decompressing data. I should say that these statements are true with the typical default settings—depending on the compression level selected, it can compress more slowly, but compress the data smaller. However, decompression is always speedier than DEFLATE. This makes it attractive for some uses, and it is heavily promoted by Meta/Facebook, where Yann Collet developed it. For example, shipping large amounts of actively-used data between machines in a data center can go more quickly when the size is reduced; however, if the compression and decompression steps take too long that benefit is lost. A speedy method can be valuable even if it doesn't result in the greatest reduction in size. This use case stands in contrast to, say, a compressed backup file which might only be accessed in a disaster recovery scenario or never accessed at all, making size more important than speed. Both the xz and zstd utilities have some built-in support for multi-threading, but the default is to run in a single thread. While xz can use multiple threads for decompression (but only if the file was compressed in multi-thread mode), the reference zstd utility can only use more than one thread for compression, not decompression. There are many other methods of lossless compression that have been developed over the decades, but I believe these are the ones you are most likely to encounter in the world of UNIX-like systems. This is a personal opinion, and others might choose a different set. As mentioned, it can be tough for a new method to gain popularity and 35-year-old DEFLATE is still probably the most commonly used despite not being the fastest or offering the greatest reduction in size. Even systems like FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD that do not like to include GNU tools supported it by developing their own version of gzip based on the permissively-licensed zlib library. Technically, the LZW method used by the compress utility is still standardized by POSIX, so one might expect it to have the widest support. However, aggressive patent enforcement discouraged adoption, especially by Free and Open Source Software systems—even though the patent has expired, it is still out of favor compared to DEFLATE. For this reason, I feel justified in calling it a curio.

While not totally rigorous, I did run each compression and decompression multiple times to ensure I was getting consistent results. The laptop I used has an Intel Core i5-6200U CPU running at 2.30GHz, and the system had at least 5 GB of free memory for each run. While this processor has two cores and can run four simultaneous threads, all utilities were run single-threaded. The term "best" means the highest level of compression available (the exact level used is shown). For bzip2 , the default is the best.

Effective February 19, 2026, New York State law permits clinicians to dispense up to 72 hours (equivalent to a 3-day supply) of controlled substances, such as methadone and buprenorphine, for the management of opioid withdrawal while arranging referral and linkage to care for persons with opioid use disorder, as authorized by federal regulations (specifically, the Code of Federal Regulations or CFR number 1306.07). The federal regulations were updated in August 2023, and New York State law is just now catching up. We informally refer to the update as “The 72-Hour Rule.” Featuring Dr. Linda Wang, this episode reviews what this update means for New York State and how clinicians and healthcare administrators can think about its implementation. Are you implementing “The 72-Hour Rule” in clinical practice in New York State? We want to hear from you! Please reach out to share your experience: Lauren.walker3@mountsinai.org.

Recorded live from the Oklahoma Wheat Commission booth at the 2026 KNID AgriFest in Enid, the crew sits down with Jeff Hickman—farmer, longtime ag association leader, Oklahoma higher-education regent, and former Oklahoma House Speaker—for a grounded conversation on where agriculture is headed and why local involvement still matters.Jeff breaks down how ag organizations stay viable in an era of consolidation, why multiple commodity groups working together amplify agriculture's voice, and how public policy and regulation increasingly shape day-to-day farm decisions. The discussion also hits consumer trust, social media misinformation (and how AI can muddy the waters), and why agriculture has to keep educating an audience that forgets fast.They close with what Jeff sees coming next—trade uncertainty, the need for a dependable farm policy, and the importance of building relationships with candidates before they're elected. Practical, candid, and very Oklahoma.Ten TakeawaysAg organizations are stronger together—shared support can keep smaller groups viable and influential.Regulation is often the real battlefield, sometimes more than legislation.Fewer rural/ag lawmakers means ag has to work harder to be understood in policy rooms.Producer involvement doesn't have to be huge—membership alone helps fund representation and benefits.Markets can disappear even after great yields, driving tough planting decisions (sorghum example).Wheat is in a strategy moment: “What's our thing?” like corn has ethanol—new uses/value streams matter.Consumer curiosity is a double-edged sword—interest is good, misinformation is rampant.AI can accelerate fake “credible” ag narratives, raising the stakes for trusted education.Rural issues resonate when you connect the dots (health care access, metro revenue, statewide economy).Election years are relationship years—don't wait until after someone wins to introduce agriculture.Detailed Timestamped Rundown00:00–01:44 — Episode open, setting: Oklahoma Wheat Commission booth at KNID AgriFest (Enid); introductions.01:45–03:35 — Jeff Hickman joins; “many hats” across OK ag organizations and higher ed.03:36–04:44 — Why shared management/back-office support keeps smaller ag groups viable and strengthens ag's voice.04:45–06:53 — Policy reality: more dependence on public policy + regulations; increased focus on agencies/administration.07:03–08:52 — Jeff's background: journalism/OU roles, media work, farm roots; “planting and harvest were my vacations.”09:12–12:44 — Political pendulum swings; how DC trends show up in statehouses; fewer rural/ag-connected legislators.12:45–15:54 — Consumer interest: good and hard; difficulty finding truth; misinformation and AI concerns; supply chain lessons.15:55–18:29 — Global factors hitting ag (tariffs, shipping routes, even piracy) through a real-world retail/cotton example.18:30–20:55 — Benefits/challenges of representing many groups; why having a strong government affairs team matters.21:14–23:59 — What growers are facing: crop choice risk, markets disappearing, wheat's future “what's our thing?”; value of membership (and CFAP example).24:00–27:33 — How to get more producers involved in leadership/politics; timing, family/team approach, candidate mentorship.28:13–32:50 — Translating rural needs for urban lawmakers (rural hospitals example); rural dollars fueling metro projects.33:26–36:31 — Next 6–9 months: trade unresolved, farm bill/farm policy stability, election-year urgency—build relationships now.36:32–38:11 — Wrap-up, thanks, and where to find resources.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week, DJI gets FCC approval for a new Avata 360, NASA is testing new drone navigation software in Death Valley for future Mars missions, and Texas clarifies that using drones for fishing is illegal under federal law. Let's get to it.DJI just managed to get another product through the FCC certification process, the rumored Avata 360. The FCC filing shows two model numbers, which usually hints at different bundles or battery options. This approval comes right as the clock is ticking on a potential US ban, so DJI is clearly pushing to get this out the door. It also comes on the heels of the AntiGravity A1 launch this week, meaning the A1 is now available for purchase! Early leaks point to some really impressive specs for the Avata360. We're talking dual 1/1.1-inch sensors, native 8K 360-degree video at 50 frames per second. It also looks like it will do super-smooth 4K FPV video at 120 frames per second. The filing also mentions a 38.67 watt-hour battery, which may give it a longer flight time than the Avata 2. It will also likely feature O4 transmission and improved obstacle sensing.Next, a really cool story from NASA. The agency has been testing drones in Death Valley to prepare for future flights on Mars. If you remember, the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars was a huge success, but it ran into problems when flying over smooth, featureless terrain like sand dunes. Its navigation system relied on tracking visual features on the ground, and when there were none, it got confused. So, to solve this for future missions, a team from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory went to the hottest, driest place on Earth to test new navigation software.The project is called Extended Robust Aerial Autonomy, and the goal is to create drones that can fly farther and adapt to unpredictable terrain without a human in the loop. The team brought three research drones to Death Valley and flew them in temperatures over 113 degrees Fahrenheit, or 45 degrees Celsius. They tested how different camera filters helped the drones track the ground and how new landing algorithms performed in cluttered areas. This research is so important that the National Park Service granted them only the third research drone permit ever issued for Death Valley. The team is also working on other cool projects, like a robot dog called LASSIE M that can "feel" the ground to adjust its walk, and a huge, winged aircraft called the Mars Electric Reusable Flyer.Last up, The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has issued guidance clarifying that using a drone for fishing is illegal. Now, this isn't a new Texas law. Instead, they are clarifying how a long-standing federal law, the Airborne Hunting Act, applies to drones. The law is officially known as Title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 19.11, and it prohibits using an aircraft to take or attempt to take wildlife.How does this apply to drone fishing? Well, the federal regulations define "aircraft" as any device used for flight in the air, which definitely includes our drones. The definition of "wildlife" includes fish, and the term "take" means to pursue, hunt, capture, or even *attempt* to do so. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, using a drone to carry and drop your bait counts as "aiding in the act of fishing," which is prohibited under the Act. This has been a popular technique for surf and bank fishermen to get their lines out past the breakers, but it's officially off-limits.

Patrice Davis is the CEO of Grants Works, whose mission is "to help organizations, educational institutions and businesses successfully find, obtain, manage, and comply with federal and other government grants that positively impact people and communities." Patrice first joined the NEXT in Nonprofits podcast in 2021 talking about applying for government grants. Patrice joins host Steve Boland to discuss the importance of time and effort reporting in grants management. Plans for how time and effort will be reported on grants begins with writing the grant, but continues on in post-grant administration using a grant manager (mostly likely different from grant writer) and the right tools for the right job. Patrice discusses best practices and tools - such as integrating grant restraints into a payroll tool to track costs assigned to a grant expenses. Patrice also looks at things that impact costs are allocated, such as how much indirect costs may need to be covered in the grant. Some organizations may choose different strategies surrounding these costs. More information about the federal definitions are available in the Code of Federal Regulations here.

A recent executive order entitled “Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations” and two congressional proposals: the Count the Crimes to Cut Act and the Mens Rea Reform Act (also known as the default-mens-rea proposal), all have highlighted long-standing discussions on federal overcriminalization. These initiatives were spotlighted during the May 7, 2025 hearing of the House Judiciary Committee. Join us for a panel discussion that will consider whether these reforms can meaningfully address the problem of a sprawling federal criminal code—one that may, in some areas, lack clarity and undermine individual liberty by exposing the public to ill-defined or overly broad criminal liability.Featuring: John G.

It's full of unknowns, and it's moving forward at an absolutely crazy pace. We don't know what to expect tomorrow or the next day or the day after that, but things are indeed happening.”Joining Detlefsen to discuss what dairy farmers, processors and consumers should anticipate, from milk labeling to MAHA, are Dr. Jamie Jonker, NMPF's Chief Science Officer, and Director of Regulatory Affairs Miquela Hanselman.

Episode SummaryThe latest episode of the “The Stream by AASHTO” podcast features Ted Boling, a partner with Perkins Coie, with over 30 years of public service – who discusses recent changes to the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, and the removal of regulations by the Council on Environmental Quality, or CEQ.Episode NotesThis podcast series is part of the AASHTO Environmental Management technical service program operated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. It explores a wide array of environmental topics that affect state departments of transportation and the infrastructure programs they oversee.In February 2025, the CEQ announced an Interim Final Rule that removes its longstanding NEPA implementing regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations. This shift places the responsibility for NEPA compliance directly on individual federal agencies, allowing them to follow their own procedures rather than a centralized set of rules.In this podcast episode, Boling delves into how, if NEPA is revoked, it removes a “universal framework” that will prevent federal agencies working in tandem on environmental reviews.Boling also outlines the potential impact of mass layoffs within the federal government, especially among senior leadership and recent hires, and how that could slow down decision-making regarding environmental reviews for infrastructure projects.

[00:00:00] Beth Vukmanic: A label can provide a lot of information about a wine. The next time you walk down the wine aisle, look for common terms and symbols like vintage, place of origin, percent alcohol, and even the SIP certified logo. [00:00:12] Welcome to Marketing Tip Monday with SIP Certified. We know that customers are looking for wines labeled as sustainable. While our longer form episodes help you learn about the latest science and research for the wine industry. These twice monthly micro podcasts will help you share your dedication to sustainable wine growing. [00:00:29] Many labeling requirements in the United States are defined by the Code of Federal Regulations. In this week's marketing tip, we are giving you a green wine glossary. Five common wine designations, defined, so you'll wonder no longer. [00:00:45] Number one is vegan. Not every wine fits the vegan lifestyle. During the winemaking process, small particles can cause haziness or unwanted flavor properties. Winemakers can add a fining agent that will bind to these tiny particles and make them large enough to be filtered out. Many fining agents are animal based. Egg whites, casein, and gelatin. Wine that was fined with any of these materials cannot be considered vegan. Vegan wines include those that were either fined with a non animal based agent. Like bentonite clay, or not find at all. [00:01:19] Number two is natural. There is no official or regulated definition of natural wine. That being said, most understand it as a wine that was made through a minimal intervention, no additive approach. Natural wines are fermented with native yeasts versus adding yeast. They cannot be filtered or fined, nor can winemaking additives be used, except for a small amount of sulfur pre bottling. If you are told that the wine you're drinking is natural, remember to ask what it means. [00:01:48] Number three is organic. Wine must meet several requirements in order to be labeled as an organic wine. The vineyard must be certified organic, the winemaking process must be certified organic, and the final product must contain at least 95 percent organic ingredients, no additives, and no preservatives. Please note that wine made with organic grapes are not the same as organic wines. While this definition means that a hundred percent of the grapes used were certified organic, Other ingredients in the wine do not have to be organic, but do note that they cannot be genetically engineered. Another thing to keep in mind is that organic designation varies between countries. [00:02:25] Number four is biodynamic. The biodynamic farming principle is guided by nature's rhythms and the understanding that the vineyard is a self contained ecosystem where all elements live and work together. Like organic, synthetic inputs are prohibited in biodynamic farming. But unlike any other program, the timing of biodynamic practices aligns with the lunar and celestial cycles. This is because of the belief that moon phases in planetary positions affect the flow of sap and energy in the vines, and that there is value in keeping practices in sync with these forces. Demeter International is the most recognized certification body for biodynamic wines. For a wine to bear the seal, the grapes must be grown in adherence to the biodynamic principles, and the wine must be made through certified biodynamic processes. [00:03:12] And number five is sustainable in agriculture. Sustainability means adhering to practices that protect social and environmental health while enhancing economic vitality. sustainably grown grapes are farmed similarly to organic and biodynamic grapes. All programs seek to protect human and environmental health through reducing inputs and conserving. And regenerating natural resources where sustainability differs is that it looks beyond the farm and into the business itself, including worker safety, community relationships, continuing education and accounting and budgeting, just to name a few of the areas that certification bodies like SIP certified address in the standards. Certification also extends from the vineyard and into the winery. [00:03:55] Did you know that your wine can include the SIP certified seal on the label if it's made with 85 percent SIP certified fruit, whether it is estate or purchased? Simply go to SIP certified. org to apply today. So your customers will know that your wine was made through practices that protect the people and the planet.

In this episode, we dive into President Donald Trump's multi-pronged strategy to revitalize America's economy, from aggressive reciprocal tariffs to massive DOGE cuts, and a large-scale deregulation effort to promote business growth.The Code of Federal Regulations is now over 190,000 pages long. A 2017 Auburn University study found that each federal regulator effectively “costs the U.S. economy the equivalent of 138 private sector jobs per year.” The researchers said that equated to a $11 million annual loss for the U.S. economy for every additional regulator.What will be the impacts of the Trump administration's policies? Will they usher in economic prosperity or will America have to head into a recession first?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The Trump administration is shaking up Washington with hundreds of executive orders and an aggressive push to cut government spending. But what's important for markets and what's just media fodder?Head of Public Policy Jason Cole examines the first weeks of the Trump administration and their implications for markets. Jason joins Senior Vice President of Investment Research Andrew Korz to address the potential impact of tariffs, tax reform and regulatory changes on key strategies. “If I've got to go into my crystal ball whether or not the Trump's tax cuts are going to get extended, I think it's going to be a debate that rages throughout the year. And advisors and investors need to be aware that there's not full tax certainty, but I think ultimately there will be a tax bill and it maybe a one- or two-year extension.”–Jason ColeHave a question for our experts?

There are hidden taxes in the world, sometimes they're emotional, sometimes they're physical. There are hidden taxes in the way of regulation and as conservatives, I don't think we really think about the weight of the unconstitutional nature of this. Zach Abraham, chief investment officer of corporate capital management, works in a world that is very regulated. He knows and has seen what regulation can do. We're going to talk about that. Plus, we need to talk about this stupid offensive game that FEMA and other government agencies play with money.What does God's Word say? Romans 3:13 ESV  “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.”Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV  There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.Alan's Soaps https://www.alansartisansoaps.comUse coupon code ‘TODD' to save an additional 10% off the bundle price.Bioptimizers https://bioptimizers.com/toddStart your journey to better health with MassZymes.  Visit bioptimizers.com/todd today to get your MassZymes 10% off.  Bonefrog https://bonefrogcoffee.com/toddMake Bonefrog Cold Brew at home!  Use code TODD at checkout to receive 10% off your first purchase and 15% on subscriptions.Bulwark Capital Bulwark Capital Management (bulwarkcapitalmgmt.com)Learn about Bulwark's strategies with their FREE Common Cents Investing Guide.  Get yours by calling 866-779-RISK or go to KnowYourRiskRadio.com.Renue Healthcare https://renue.healthcare/toddYour journey to a better life starts at Renue Healthcare.  Visit renue.healthcare/Todd
