Fifty Percent

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial begins in days. Jury selection opens July 20 in Plymouth. She is charged with ending the lives of all three of her children during a fifty-four-minute window while her husband was picking up takeout she asked him to get. Prosecutors say she checked Apple Maps to time the drive.The defense says she was drowning. Nine medications prescribed across dozens of appointments — eight of those medications added in a single three-week stretch. Virtual psychiatric visits that lasted seventeen minutes. A hospital that evaluated her, concluded she was overmedicated and misdiagnosed, and discharged her anyway. Her attorney offered to formally admit she was responsible for all three deaths if the judge would let the jury consider guilt and sanity separately. The judge declined.The judge also blocked fifteen women who wanted to testify about their own postpartum psychosis — women who had experienced command hallucinations like the ones Lindsay described. The court ruled medical experts are sufficient. The defense lost the most emotionally powerful testimony it had.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, sits down with Tony and Robin to dissect the case heading to trial. She addresses whether the Apple Maps evidence is as damning as the prosecution believes, how a jury handles hearing a confession and an insanity defense in the same breath, and what happens when Patrick Clancy — the father who forgave — takes the stand and tells the jury his wife got sick.Lindsay Clancy is paralyzed. She's in a wheelchair. The doctors who prescribed her nine medications are named in two civil lawsuits — but not a single one of them is sitting at a defendant's table.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sales leaders often blame weak performance on the individual salesperson, but the deeper problem is frequently a mismatch between the company's expectations, hiring system, onboarding process and incentive structure. In Japan, where recruiting experienced salespeople is difficult and replacing an underperformer can take months, leaders cannot afford a revolving door. They need to define the type of salesperson required, establish realistic performance norms, build the right compensation plan and set targets that encourage effort rather than surrender. Are your sales hiring expectations realistic in Japan? Many sales performance problems begin before the salesperson joins, because the company has not clearly defined what success should look like. A founder, country manager or sales director may assume that an experienced hire will arrive, understand the market immediately and start producing revenue. That "plug-and-play" expectation is dangerous in Japan. Relationships, internal approval processes, brand recognition and access to decision-makers all influence how quickly a salesperson can gain traction. Startups face a different challenge from established multinationals: they may offer speed and freedom, but lack leads, systems and market credibility. Before blaming the new hire, leaders should audit the role itself. Is the territory viable? Is the value proposition clear? Are there enough qualified prospects? Is management providing coaching, introductions and sales tools? A salesperson cannot compensate forever for a weak commercial system. Do now: Write down the first 90-, 180- and 365-day outcomes you expect, then confirm that the company is providing the market access, support and resources required to achieve them. Do you need a sales hunter or a sales farmer? A hunter creates new business, while a farmer develops existing accounts; hiring one and expecting the behaviour of the other creates predictable disappointment. Japan has many capable relationship managers who excel at maintaining trust, expanding established accounts and coordinating internal stakeholders. These farmers are valuable, especially in long-cycle B2B sales, professional services and major-account management. Hunters are different. They prospect, open doors, tolerate rejection and create opportunities where none previously existed. During interviews, ask candidates where their current customers came from. Were they inherited from a departing colleague, supplied by marketing, allocated by the boss or already inside the company's client base? That suggests farming experience. Candidates who can explain how they identified targets, gained access, created urgency and won previously unknown buyers are demonstrating hunting behaviour. Neither profile is automatically superior; the question is whether the profile matches the commercial need. Do now: Classify the role as primarily hunting, farming or hybrid, and build interview questions that require candidates to prove where their past revenue actually came from. How long should a new salesperson take to produce revenue? The correct ramp-up period should come from historical performance data, not the leader's personal memories, impatience or hope. Sales leaders often say, "I did it quickly, so they should be able to do it too." That comparison may be unfair. The leader may have joined when the market was stronger, inherited better accounts, possessed deeper networks or benefited from a more experienced manager. A more objective approach is to review every salesperson who joined during the past five to ten years and track monthly revenue from Day One. Calculate the typical production level by quarter, removing extreme top and bottom performers when the sample is large enough. This creates a practical benchmark for onboarding, coaching and forecasting. A complex enterprise sale may require a longer runway than transactional consumer sales, while a recognised brand may shorten the cycle compared with an unknown entrant. Do now: Build a month-by-month ramp-up curve from previous hires and use it as the baseline for coaching conversations, forecasts and probation reviews. How should sales leaders measure new-hire performance? Revenue matters, but early-stage performance should also be measured through controllable activities and pipeline quality. A new salesperson may not close major business immediately, especially where buying decisions involve procurement, legal, finance and multiple executive stakeholders. Leaders should therefore track leading indicators alongside lagging revenue. Useful measures include target-account coverage, qualified meetings, decision-maker access, proposals issued, opportunity value, next-step discipline and movement through the sales pipeline. The aim is not to reward empty activity. Fifty unqualified calls are less useful than five serious conversations with the right buyers. Managers also need to inspect conversion rates: prospect to meeting, meeting to proposal and proposal to close. These measures reveal whether the problem is prospecting, discovery, solution design, credibility, pricing or negotiation. Do now: Create a balanced scorecard combining revenue, qualified pipeline, conversion ratios and agreed weekly prospecting behaviours. Does your sales incentive scheme reward the behaviour you want? Compensation plans shape behaviour, so leaders should not expect aggressive new-business development from a scheme that mainly rewards account maintenance. In Japan, fixed salaries with bonuses are common, while American-style commission-only structures are rare. A high base salary may provide security, but it can also reduce the urgency to prospect in a risk-averse environment. Straight commission on all revenue can also favour farmers, because inherited or repeat business may pay as well as difficult new-account acquisition. A stronger design distinguishes between existing-account revenue, expansion revenue and genuinely new business. It should also be easy to understand. If salespeople need a spreadsheet and a finance specialist to calculate their reward, the plan will not motivate daily behaviour. The company must also avoid creating a scheme designed mainly to protect its own margin while asking the salesperson to carry all the risk. Do now: Test whether the plan pays more for the behaviour the company claims to value, especially new logos, strategic products, margin quality and sustainable account growth. How high should a salesperson's target be? A sales target should stretch performance while remaining credible; an impossible number causes people to disengage rather than accelerate. Leaders sometimes raise quotas because the business plan requires more revenue, not because the territory can realistically produce it. When the gap between the target and the salesperson's own sense of capability becomes too large, motivation can collapse. The salesperson may stop believing that extra effort will matter, protect themselves psychologically and settle into lower performance. Target-setting is therefore both analytical and managerial. Review territory potential, historical conversion rates, average deal size, sales-cycle length, available leads, account concentration and the salesperson's experience. Then explain the logic. A demanding target can energise people when they can see a path to achievement, receive regular coaching and know that exceptional results will be rewarded fairly. Do now: Pressure-test each quota against territory data and pipeline maths, then agree on the specific activities and support required to reach it. What should sales leaders do now? Sales leaders should stop treating every performance failure as proof that they hired the wrong person. Sometimes they did. Often, however, the company recruited a farmer for a hunting role, expected revenue too quickly, measured the wrong indicators, designed an uninspiring incentive scheme or set a target with no credible pathway. In Japan's tight talent market, replacement is not a strategy. The better approach is to define the role precisely, benchmark performance objectively, coach the controllable behaviours and align rewards with the results the business genuinely needs. Check whether the recruiting process is selecting farmers when the business actually needs hunters. Create realistic production norms based on the ramp-up history of previous sales hires. Use leading indicators and conversion ratios to diagnose where performance is breaking down. Redesign incentives so new business, strategic growth and healthy margins are rewarded clearly. Set stretching but credible targets supported by territory data, pipeline maths and coaching.

Mostly Film – Take 239: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 1A new series begins. Jonathan and JP are spending six episodes inside the Harrison Ford filmography — not Star Wars, not Indiana Jones, but everything else. The films he made between the blockbusters, against the blockbusters, and long after the world had already decided who he was.Episode 1 starts with a question: who is Harrison Ford when he isn't playing a hero the whole world already loves?First up, Hanover Street — the 1979 WWII romance that Ford took because he'd never played a love scene before, hated making from start to finish, and has never seen. A film so thoroughly forgotten that it's not currently streaming anywhere. And yet there's a case to be made for it — Christopher Plummer quietly doing excellent work, a second half that generates real suspense, and Ford visibly more comfortable the moment someone points a gun at him than the moment someone kisses him. Which turns out to be genuinely revealing.Then Blade Runner. Fifty-plus consecutive nights of artificial rain. A crew so fed up they wore protest T-shirts. A director and star who feuded constantly over the voiceover, the Deckard question, and basically everything else. A film that flopped on release the same day as The Thing — both considered too cold and strange for audiences who just wanted to watch E.T. — and went on to become one of the most influential science fiction films ever made. Ford has called it not one of his favourites. The Final Cut suggests he was wrong.The big debates: is Deckard a replicant? Which version did you watch? And does Ford's performance hold up, or does Rutger Hauer walk away with the entire film in the last ten minutes?Up next: the Peter Weir years — Witness and The Mosquito Coast. The argument is that it's the best acting Ford ever did.

The Shandaken Theatrical Society turns 50 this year, and its home stage — the Phoenicia Playhouse — has a history that stretches back even further. Built in 1887 as a lodge for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the building later served as an auction house and a movie theater before falling into disrepair by the 1980s. Community intervention saved it from demolition, and STS has run it ever since.This episode brings together voices spanning the organization's history: board member and longtime performer Faye Storms, who arrived in the Catskills just three years after STS was founded in 1976; playhouse manager Geneva Turner, who also works as a standardized patient and intimacy coordinator when they're not running the house; technical director George Muller, a veteran of Live Aid and the Philadelphia Orchestra before landing in Phoenicia; and Wallace Norman and Hank Neimark of Woodstock Fringe, in town for a co-production of Songs Mostly of the Theatre.Fifty years ago, STS opened with a production of The Sound of Music — and there's talk of marking the anniversary with a singalong screening of the film. Beyond that possible nod to their roots, the season has grown into a full slate of drama, comedy, open mics, a concert series with Flying Cat Music, and youth theater camps.Find out more at phoeniciaplayhouse.com

New research from China reveals that senescent cells -- aging cells that have stopped dividing -- are significantly more vulnerable to DNA damage from fifty-hertz magnetic fields than healthy cells. In this episode, I walk through a twenty twenty-five study published in Biophysical Chemistry that examined how power line frequency magnetic fields affect human lung cells. The findings reveal a critical vulnerability in aging cells and point to a specific biological mechanism involving mitochondria. This matters because we're all accumulating senescent cells as we age, and the power grid surrounds us with these exact frequencies every day.

Some of the coolest stories in history are the ones that hide in plain sight.  A deck of cards is no exception.  We see them everywhere and almost every household has a deck or two of cards.  From casinos to your grandparents' house, to that junk drawer in your kitchen nobody cleans out. Fifty-two cards. Four suits. A couple jokers. Simple, yet historic, and absolutely fascinating because none of it is random. The kings? Chosen intentionally. The suits? Symbolic. The numbers? Possibly connected to the calendar itself. And depending on who you asked throughout history, playing cards were either harmless entertainment, mathematical genius, tools of gambling and crime, or to some, the work of the devil. Am I being overly dramatic for something used to play Go Fish? Well, today on The Missing Chapter, we're diving into the whole story - the bizarre hidden history of playing cards - how they traveled across continents, got banned by governments, terrified religious leaders, inspired magicians, and quietly became one of the most recognizable objects on Earth.  So take a sip of your favorite brew, turn up your volumes because it's time for the Missing Chapter Podcast.Want some Missing Chapter merchandise?

The time the Dalai Lama went bowling in their basement, the time a stranger showed up with exactly the $15,000 they were missing — and more behind-the-scenes stories from 50 years of IMS. In 1975, a handful of young Americans fresh back from years of intensive practice in India and Burma pooled together $150,000 they didn't have and bought a former Catholic novitiate in rural Massachusetts. Fifty years later, the Insight Meditation Society has become one of the most consequential institutions in the history of Buddhism in the West — the place where Jon Kabat-Zinn had the idea that became Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and where, as one longtime yogi put it, the whole thing has run for half a century "without any adult supervision whatsoever." For IMS's 50th anniversary, Dan sits down with four of its founding teachers — Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and Jacqueline Mandell — along with Steven Schwartz, who helped get the organization built in the first place. Together they trace the founding story, the early years of $25-a-month stipends and "window wars," the accidental birth of the mindfulness movement, and what they hope IMS looks like 1,000 years from now.

In 1917, three children in Fatima, Portugal claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary. They promised she would perform a miracle on a certain day in October. Nearly 100,000 pilgrims arrived, hoping to see whatever happened, and nearly all report that the sun turned pale, changed color, and spun around. Many other writers have investigated the children and their visions, but I was fixated on this sun miracle. Despite popular discussion of "mass hallucinations", this is AFAICT the only example of tens thousands of people all saying they witnessed the same impossible thing, at the same time. I got kind of obsessed with this; you can read my preliminary investigations in this, this, and this post. One of the first things I found was that there were many other sun miracles - at least ten! - similar to Fatima. Most were associated with Marian apparitions, but one was at a Buddhist temple. Bigfoot only gets sighted by lone hikers; ghosts are only ever in the corner of your eye; UFOs are just blurs in the sky. Of all the countries and outposts in the vast empire of the unexplained, it's only this one phenomenon - the spinning, multicolored sun - that regularly gets seen by thousands of people at once, in broad daylight. Speaking of "regularly", there's one spot where it continues even today. Fifty years ago, the Virgin Mary appeared to six children in Medjugorje, Bosnia. Now those children are well past middle-age, but she continues to come. Three of them report that she's appeared less frequently as the years go by, but the others still see her every day at 6:40 sharp. Travelers to Medjugorje, especially those passing through around 6:40, report a slew of miracles, including the spinning sun. Certainly this is true of those whose hearts are pure. But even the atheists get lucky sometimes. I was shocked never to have heard about this before. There's a place you can just go, and have a decent chance of seeing a real miracle? People take vacations to the Bahamas for the beaches, when they could go instead to Medjugorje and see the natural law of the universe get violated in real time? Seems crazy! So in early April, I and my extremely-accommodating, long-suffering wife flew to Dubrovnik, rented a car, and drove down a series of windy mountain roads toward the Bosnian border, hoping for a miracle. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/waiting-for-the-miracle

Andrew and Adele both know why they need alcohol to socialize — or think they do. For Adele, 64 and living in a New Zealand wine region, it started at 14 in the back of a school bus and never really stopped being about fitting in. For Andrew, who is navigating a late-life ADHD diagnosis and the possible end of his marriage, the answer turned out to go a lot deeper than the social stuff. Andrew discusses: His late-life ADHD diagnosis and why emotional dysregulation makes the pull toward alcohol so much harder to catch. Realizing he has never felt safe — and how his body already knew that before he did What finally made his marriage struggles make complete sense The hand-on-heart technique from Coach Zoe and how it's helping him regulate in real time Finding The Path after his wife asked for a divorce — and what group coaching calls unlocked Adele discusses: Fifty years of drinking to fit in, starting at 14 in the back of a school bus Why AA's shame-based language kept her stuck, and what changed when she joined The Path The five-year-old who felt different, rejected, and vulnerable after her parents' divorce Struggling to show compassion for her younger self because of choices she hasn't forgiven The visualization practice that gave her a glimpse of something she hadn't felt in a long time: peace And more… Coach Zoe Ewart is a Certified Naked Mind Senior Coach who brings her experience and understanding to help with the tricky parts of life's big changes.

Please fill out this short survey. Go to: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠unpacked.bio/podsurvey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. We want to hear from you! Fifty years ago, Air France Flight 139 took off from Tel Aviv on the morning of June 27, 1976. No one could have suspected that the soon-to-be-hijacked flight was about to lead to one of the world's most daring and risky rescue missions. To mark 50 years since the raid, we're bringing back one of our favorite episodes: Noam unpacks Operation Thunderbolt, Israel's secret operation to rescue the hostages at Entebbe, and asks whether this story has enduring lessons for us today.

Fifty years ago the U.S. government classified it alongside heroin: no accepted medical use, high potential for abuse, illegal in most of the world. The peer-reviewed data now coming out of Johns Hopkins, Imperial College, and Nature tells a different story, one that has some of the most credentialled neuroscientists alive rethinking how the brain heals. In this episode, Louisa breaks down exactly what psilocybin does to your neurons, why it works where antidepressants stall for decades, and where the research is heading right now. She walks through the default mode network, the self-referential system that turns rigid and hyperactive in depression, and the 2024 Nature study that described psilocybin's effect on it as "massive" disruption. You'll hear how a single dose drove a measurable jump in dendritic spine density within 24 hours, why psilocin binds the TRKB receptor 300 times more strongly than any conventional antidepressant, and how Robin Carhart-Harris's head-to-head trial against escitalopram produced more than double the remission rate. Then she turns to addiction, where psilocybin-assisted therapy reached an 80% smoking abstinence rate at six months in the Johns Hopkins pilot, more than double the best medication available today. She covers the risks the drug-war narrative leaves out, the hard contraindications around psychosis and cardiac history, the April 2026 executive order that accelerated federal review, and why the quality of the subjective experience, measured on the Mystical Experience Questionnaire, may matter to the outcome as much as the molecule itself. You'll also hear about the desynchronization event and what fills the space when the network goes offline, BDNF and how it stacks up against high-intensity exercise, the alcohol and opioid data, HPPD, Australia's 2023 reclassification, Oregon and Colorado's state access frameworks, and why set and setting may be active ingredients in how the treatment works.

What if the leadership style you were taught is the very thing destroying your team? In this episode, Dr. Fred Johnson, founder of InitiativeOne and one of the NFL's most trusted behind-the-scenes culture architects, shares a career built not on credentials but on authenticity. He has transformed locker rooms for six NFL teams including the Seahawks and Packers, coached a world-renowned cancer researcher back from the brink, and helped over 800 organizations find the best version of themselves. But the most powerful thing Dr. Fred has ever done is admit he was a recovering addict. And the man who taught him that vulnerability is a superpower, not a weakness, was John Maxwell, 45 years ago.   [00:04:00] What He Does and Who He Serves Founder of InitiativeOne, a global leadership company in Green Bay, Wisconsin Works across 29 professional fields in seven countries Helps leaders transform to the best version of themselves [00:05:30] How the NFL Relationships Started John Schneider credits Fred with saving his career when he wanted to leave the profession Fred coached him back from deep discouragement without charging a dollar When Schneider became GM of the Seahawks, he asked Fred to build the culture there too Every NFL team Fred has worked with came through that one relationship [00:08:00] What Inspires Him Loves helping people find hope, clear direction, and purpose Believes you are only as strong as the quality of people around you Every large multi-year engagement in 27 years came from an unsolicited referral [00:13:30] The Mentor Who Started It All: Dr. Rosetta Riley Was a pastor in his early 30s when Dr. Rosetta Riley joined his congregation She was the leading female influencer in manufacturing worldwide She saw something in him he couldn't see in himself and mentored him for four and a half years His first clients were McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, McDonald's, and Chase Manhattan Bank [00:17:30] Client Impact: The Cancer Researcher Who Almost Took Everything Down Was called in to coach a world-renowned pancreatic cancer researcher whose ego was destroying the organization The researcher had already fired seven coaches; Fred told him he would never be number eight Six months from shutting down, the organization turned around completely Today that institute leads on at least a dozen major cancer therapies [00:26:00] The First Relationship That Changed Everything: John Maxwell Maxwell is widely regarded as the most influential voice in leadership today Taught Fred that leadership has nothing to do with authority and everything to do with people Taught him you cannot coach people hard if you do not love them hard first Introduced Fred to authentic, vulnerable leadership 45 years before it became a buzzword [00:29:00] The Leader with a Limp In his early 30s Fred was a recovering addict living a double life while teaching leadership When it came out, Maxwell told him: from now on you are a leader with a limp Fred resisted at first; today he says the limp is the best part of him People do not want perfect leaders; they want authentic ones [00:31:30] Being-Based vs Performance-Based Leadership The average American leader has a self-belief level of 2.7 out of 10 Performance-based leaders push people to perform so they can feel good about themselves Being-based leaders attract talent, build momentum, and stop starting over every three years Fred turned over his entire staff every three years until being-based leadership broke that cycle [00:36:30] The Second Relationship: Mr. Gault Mr. Gault was Fred's ninth grade Sunday school teacher Fred was 5'1", 98 pounds, covered in acne, and thought nothing of himself Every week Mr. Gault told him: Freddy, I believe in you and great things are in store Fifty-five years later those words still play in his mind on the hardest days   KEY QUOTES "You can't coach people hard if you don't love them hard first." - Dr. Fred Johnson, quoting John Maxwell "The best part of me is the limp. From that, wisdom and growth accelerated and came out." - Dr. Fred Johnson "No one succeeds by themselves. You are only as strong as the quality of the relationships you build and the people you surround yourself with." - Dr. Fred Johnson CONNECT WITH DR.

Key Takeaways Giving is finally outpacing inflation, providing encouraging news for churches.Participation in giving is increasing, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z.Younger generations are giving more frequently, but their average gifts remain significantly smaller than those of previous generations.The greatest challenge facing churches today is not fundraising—it is stewardship discipleship.Most churches lack a comprehensive discipleship strategy that helps people grow from first-time givers to generous disciples.Fifty percent of people who gave in 2022 did not give again to the same church by 2025, revealing a significant retention challenge.Many churches excel at welcoming first-time guests but fail to acknowledge and encourage first-time givers.Churches need a shared theology and common language around stewardship, tithing, offerings, and generosity.Financial stewardship should be taught consistently, not just during annual giving campaigns.Stories of generosity should reflect every stage of the giving journey, not just large gifts from wealthy donors.Security and contentment are discipleship issues that directly influence generosity.Churches must intentionally disciple younger generations if they hope to sustain future ministry.Dependence on a small percentage of high-capacity donors continues to increase and presents a long-term risk.Stewardship conversations are ultimately about heart transformation, not simply meeting a budget.ResourcesMortarstone Website - https://mortarstone.com/Get the Annual Giving Report - https://mortarstone.com/annual-generosity-report-landingLearn about the Christian Stewardship Network - https://www.christianstewardshipnetwork.com/Become a CSN member - https://membership.christianstewardshipnetwork.com/

Nothing at all to do with duck hunting. Everything to do with discovery. Catching up with one of my oldest buddies, Kurt Munding, we recall memories from way, way back when. It was Summer 1990.  Times were different. We were as young, as strong, as polar opposite, and as free as we'd ever be. Together, we discovered coast-to-coast America--and ourselves--at about 50 miles per day.  On bicycles.   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Create the X Habitat Management App Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

Sometimes … Mother Nature reminds the wind industry who is really in charge. Late last month … hurricane-force winds ripped through Hyde County, South Dakota … tearing into the Triple H Wind Farm operated by French energy giant Engie. One hundred and thirty-one miles per hour … as strong as a Category Four hurricane. More than twenty of the site’s ninety-two turbines … damaged. The two-hundred-fifty-megawatt complex is out of service … and turbine supplier GE Vernova is on-site now … assessing the wreckage. No injuries … but the governor declared a state of emergency. The machines that harvest the wind … taken down by the wind itself. Now … while one wind farm goes dark in the American plains … ownership is reshuffling across the North Sea. Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation has exited two Belgian offshore wind farms … selling its stakes to joint venture partner Jera Nex BP. That is the partnership between oil major BP and Japan’s largest power generator Jera. Jera Nex BP now has full ownership of the two-hundred-nineteen-megawatt Northwester 2 … and has raised its stake in the one-hundred-sixty-five-megawatt Nobelwind to eighty percent. Both farms operate out of Ostend, Belgium … and have been generating power since 2017 and 2020. Sumitomo walks away … Jera Nex BP doubles down. Meanwhile … in Denmark … China’s Envision Group is seeing red for the first time in fifteen years. The company’s global innovation center in Silkeborg … a strategic research hub for wind turbine components and advanced manufacturing … posted a loss of just under one-point-three million Danish kroner. That is a swing of more than one hundred fifteen percent from last year’s profit. The culprit is not the technology … it is the currency. The U.S. dollar fell nearly twelve percent against the Danish krone in 2025 … and Envision’s books took the hit. Revenue also dropped eighteen percent … but management says the underlying operations remained stable. The machines still work … the math just changed. And speaking of money flowing into wind … a Turkish energy company just tapped an unusual source. Aksa Enerji … the largest publicly listed independent power producer in Turkiye … has secured one hundred twenty-four million dollars in financing backed by China’s export credit agency Sinosure. The money will fund a one-hundred-megawatt wind-plus-storage project in the southern province of Mersin. This is the first renewable energy project in Turkiye to receive a license as a storage-integrated facility. Aksa now operates power plants across seven countries … with more than three gigawatts of total capacity. Chinese capital … backing Turkish wind … with battery storage baked in from day one. Now … here is a story that might surprise you. Continental … the German tyre maker … yes … the tyre company … is building its own wind farm. Three Nordex turbines … each standing two hundred sixty-seven meters tall … right next to its tyre factory in Korbach, Germany. When they are online … those turbines and the factory’s existing solar panels will cover two-thirds of the plant’s electricity demand. Fifty-five gigawatt-hours a year … powering rubber mixing and extrusion lines … directly from the wind. Continental calls it a model for its production sites worldwide. Cheaper power … more predictable costs … and less exposure to volatile energy markets. The wind industry just gained a tyre company as a customer … and a competitor for electrons. And finally … south of the border. Mexico has eight gigawatts of wind power installed today … more than thirty-three hundred turbines across sixteen states. But the next chapter is already being written. The government plans to add nearly seven gigawatts of new wind capacity this term … part of a broader push for thirty-two gigawatts of new generation overall. More than two gigawatts of wind projects are pending allocation right now … and the industry estimates this next wave could mobilize four to five billion dollars in investment … building thirteen to fourteen new wind farms before the decade is out. The final decisions come in October. Here is what stands out this week. The wind industry is no longer just selling kilowatt-hours to utilities … it is selling energy independence directly to manufacturers … and that changes the customer base entirely. At the same time … capital for new wind projects is coming from places it never came from before … export credit agencies … cross-border joint ventures … and government allocation programs with billions on the line. The money is there … but so are the risks … currency swings … extreme weather … and the constant reshuffling of who owns what. For wind energy professionals … the takeaway is simple … the industry is growing … but the business model around it is getting more complex by the quarter. The turbines keep turning. And that’s the state of the wind industry for the 5th of July 2026. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast tomorrow.

Fr. Tobia Manoli explores the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand, emphasizing its unique mention in all four Gospels and its lessons for Christian life. He highlights the significance of order and organization—“make them sit down in groups of fifty”—as the foundation for experiencing God's blessings. Fr. Tobia connects this to spiritual growth, discipleship, and practical living, showing how priorities and discipline enable believers to recognize and receive God's daily blessings. He also addresses common misunderstandings about blessings and encourages cultivating a faithful, servant-hearted life rooted in order, commitment, and responsibility at home, church, and work. This talk underscores the importance of spiritual and practical order for thriving in faith, relationships, and daily challenges, with reflections on the role of the Holy Spirit as the spirit of blessing. #FeedingOfTheFiveThousand #ChristianDiscipleship #HolySpiritBlessings #CopticOrthodox #FaithAndOrder #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org

In 1975, a fourth-grade class in Alexander City, Alabama wrote a song called "My Grand American Home" for America's bicentennial—one that even caught the attention of Governor George Wallace. Fifty years later, that same class reunited to re-record the song for America's 250th birthday, with their original teacher, 84-year-old Miss Holdridge, joining them. Daily Wire reporter Lynden Blake shares the full story—including her mom's campaign to get it in front of President Trump—with Tim Rice on this special July 4th episode of Behind the Story.

Justin is joined for this episode by Ryan Droste, who, hearing the call of duty as TCBCast's American-history-teacher-in-chief, swung by to discuss Elvis' Independence Day concerts; briefly the 1955 and 1956 performances early in his career, but primarily the July 4, 1976, show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, celebrating America's 200th anniversary. Fifty years later, on America's semi-quincentennial, the guys revisit the soundboard recording, as heard on FTD's 2017 release The Bicentennial Show. Staying on theme, the duo's Songs of the Week highlight America as well: Ryan's pick of "Hawaiian Sunset" from the soundtrack of Blue Hawaii pays homage not only to the 50th state, but to an earlier Sammy Kaye song of the same name that songwriters Sid Tepper & Roy Bennett clearly were drawing influence from. Then, finally, Justin looks into the story behind "America the Beautiful," its writer, Katharine Lee Bates, the trip to Peaks Pike, Colorado, that inspired the poem, our readings of its other, less famous verses and, of course, Elvis' performances of the song version in 1975/1976 intended to celebrate the bicentennial.

It's Thursday, July 2nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus British might criminalize speaking Biblical truth on sexuality The United Kingdom may criminalize pastors and parents for sharing Biblical truth on sexuality.  The country's Labour government published the Conversion Practices Draft Bill last week. The measure would ban practices aimed at changing a person's so-called sexual orientation or gender identity.  Andrea Williams with Christian Concern said, “This bill opens the door to the persecution of parents and pastors through false accusations of abusive conversion practices.” British Parliament is “the gayest” with 75 sexually perverted In other United Kingdom  news, outgoing Prime Minister Kier Starmer, an atheist, signaled his support for sexually perverted lifestyles.  Listen to his recent comments. STARMER: “I'm really proud that we've got the gayest parliament. I don't think, anywhere in the world. I don't think there's any parliament that is gayer than this parliament. That is fantastic. “The HIV Action Plan is really good to end transmissions by 2030. We've legislated to equalize all existing strands of hate crime and make them aggravated offenses, and again, the announcement through Liv last week, a full trans-inclusive ban on abusive conversion practice. We put an end to those practices.” Indeed, out of the 650 members of British Parliament, 75 of them have sinfully embraced sexual perversion. Isaiah 5:20-23 says, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil . . . Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes. … Who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous man!” Starmer announced his resignation last month. His Labour Party had just experienced major election losses in May.  Canadian Anglicans offer “liturgy” to bless the euthanized Speaking of calling evil good, the Anglican Church of Canada announced a Christian liturgy to bless people being euthanized. The denomination said it would not comment on the morality of assisted suicide. Instead, it authorized clergy to bless people who have chosen it.  Canada is considered the euthanasia capital of the world. Tragically, over 100,000 people have died under the country's assisted suicide program. The death push began 10 years ago on June 17, 2016.  Planned Parenthood shuts down Iowa City abortion mill Here in the United States, Planned Parenthood will shut down its location in Iowa City, Iowa this month.  The abortion giant closed four other facilities in Iowa last year. This leaves only one location in the state.  Iowa banned most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy in 2024. And yesterday, a law went into effect that bans mail-order abortions in the Hawkeye State.  78% of Americans favor public school student-led prayer groups A new Pew Research survey found that Americans support religious expression in public schools. Seventy-eight percent of U.S. adults favor allowing students to voluntarily pray in student-led groups. Fifty-seven percent favor allowing coaches to lead their teams in prayer. Fifty percent favor displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms. And 46 percent favor allowing teachers to lead their classes in prayer.  Presbyterian Church in America voted against female deacons The second-largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. recently voted against female deacons. Last month, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America met in Louisville, Kentucky. The church body voted resoundingly against a proposal to allow women to serve as ordained deacons. This reaffirmed the denomination's constitutional documents. Those documents state, “The ordinary and perpetual classes of office in the Church are elders and deacons. ... The office of deacon is not one of rule, but rather of service both to the physical and spiritual needs of the people. In accord with Scripture, these offices are open to men only.”  Chick-fil-A 92-year-old employee encourages customers A Chick-fil-A employee in his 90s is making headlines for his work ethic and his Christian faith. Gilbert Martin, affectionately known as “Mr. Gil,” has been working at a Chick-fil-A in Wilmington, North Carolina for the last six years. Mr. Gil just turned 92. But that doesn't stop him from working throughout the week. He not only keeps the restaurant clean, he takes personal care of the people who walk in. Mr. Gil told WECT-6 that God has allowed him to be an encourager to people. Listen.  MARTIN: “I get a lot of people that are coming in, just going to the doctor, or just been to the doctor, and got bad news, and so forth, and I'm able to be encourager. The Lord gave me that. I don't plan to go anywhere else..” Romans 15:2 says, “Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.” Looking for feedback from Worldview listeners I was surprised not to receive a single email yesterday about what listeners, like you, enjoy about this newscast.  What makes this newscast different to you from other newscasts which you've heard?  Do you listen to it while you exercise, drive in the car, or at home with the family as part of your morning routine?

Welcome to another episode of LDS Discussions! We are joined again by Bryan Buchanan to discuss the William Clayton Diaries.The William Clayton Diaries are among the most important firsthand records from Joseph Smith's final years in Nauvoo. Few individuals stood closer to Joseph Smith than William Clayton, who served as clerk, confidant, and participant in many of the most controversial events of Mormon history. In this episode, we dive directly into the diaries themselves. We examine what Clayton recorded, what historians can learn from his daily entries, and why these journals have become central to discussions about Joseph Smith's plural marriages, the Council of Fifty, the Quorum of the Anointed, the Kinderhook Plates, Nauvoo politics, and the final months leading up to Joseph Smith's death. Along the way, we explore the lives of Joseph and Emma Smith, Margaret Moon, Sarah Whitney, Lucy Walker, Flora Woodworth, Eliza R. Snow, and many of the other figures who appear throughout these remarkable journals. We also address modern claims that the diaries were altered, fabricated, or created after the fact, and compare those claims to the evidence available to historians who have studied the original manuscript. Topics include William Clayton's relationship with Joseph Smith, evidence for Joseph Smith's polygamy, Emma's reactions and resistance to the “P” or “priesthood,” the Moon sister's involvement in polygamy, the strengths and limitations of Clayton as a source and why historians consider these diaries indispensable. The William Clayton journals offer an unparalleled window into the inner workings of Nauvoo Mormonism. Whether you are a believer, skeptic, historian, or simply curious about early Mormon history, these records provide some of the most revealing evidence available from the period. ___________________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. Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions

Fifty million people woke at 4 AM to watch a six-nation field hockey tournament that could have devolved into a brawl in the first 60 seconds. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy draws on the story of Olympic umpire Steve Horrigan, who turned a brewing international melee into 69 minutes of brilliant hockey, to show why constructive conflict is the most underused leadership tool in any organization. The insight at the center: instead of asking what is right with your idea, ask what is wrong with it. Darren also shares the Constructive Candor framework his own A-Team uses, and why trust is the one currency that makes healthy disagreement possible.

Fifty-six travelers met in the Windy City to visit some of the subjects we've covered over the years: Bertha Palmer, Frances Glessner Lee, Anne Frank, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jane Addams, and so many more. We took a good look at our favorite history hub - the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, got up close and personal with Tiffany glass, stayed in opulent splendor at the Palmer House, and ate our weight in Chicago dogs and deep dish pizza. We've learned a lot, and made memories we'll never forget, but the most important thing the city gave us was the friends we made along the way. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fifty years ago, Clark founded an alternative school called Career Action for adults who were struggling to find their path after high school. The program was intense, with long days, strict standards, and a focus on preparing students for the workplace. It was successful for decades—but here's what's remarkable: virtually every job skill that was taught eventually became obsolete. The lesson is more important than ever today: you can't stay static. Also, Clark explains why extended warranties are usually a bad deal for consumers. Whether it's electronics, smartphones, appliances, or cars, the math overwhelmingly favors the companies selling the coverage. Clark shares what you need to know about smartphone insurance, home warranties, and extended auto warranties—and the one exception if you're determined to buy coverage for your vehicle. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the June 24, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your questions: Ask Clark.
