Governor Newsom and Democratic allies announced Thursday that they will propose a constitutional amendment — The Election Rigging Response Act — to counter Texas and other Red states' mid-decade redistricting plans. Framing the proposal as a response to GOP efforts to Gerrymander and "rig" Texas' elections next year in order to protect Republican control of congress, the proposal would replace California's current congressional district maps with new maps to be used in the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections. The California's Citizens Redistricting Commission would resume mapmaking duties after the 2030 census.Our guest today is California political data and redistricting whiz Paul Mitchell, who was tasked with coming up with the new maps just two weeks ago. Mitchell described the process of drawing the new maps, why the redistricting effort was necessary, and tells us which seats will see the most changes.Plus- Who Had the Worst Week in California Politics:47 Redistricting1:58 Podcast Schedule3:31 Paul Mitchell and an intense two weeks7:14 The opposition8:16 "Can we do a 52 - zero map?"9:42 "The Commission's work is the Gold Standard"12:34 Comparison to other states' process14:55 Kevin Kiley's proposal16:44 Role of AI in redistricting20:57 There is no perfect map22:47 Which seats are in for a significant change?23:35 "Young Kim gets a great district?"26:15 "There are winners and losers"28:35 It's not about the maps - it's about the fight against Trump29:40 "It is a gross-looking district"32:08 The polling36:23 #WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Drawing from over three decades of experience coaching high-stakes deals, my guest on the Sales Reinvented show, Jim Camp Jr., shares how the Camp System helps organizations avoid unnecessary compromise while improving their negotiation outcomes. He unpacks the key differences between strategy and tactics, reveals his go-to approach for handling emotionally charged negotiations, and explains why internal alignment and embracing problems are critical for successful outcomes. He also discusses the importance of planning, emotional control, and treating your counterpart with respect—even permiting them to say no. Outline of This Episode [05:49] Plan each negotiation, focus on understanding the opponent, modify goals, and respect their right to veto to lower emotions [07:33] Planning provides a systematic approach and emotional edge despite unexpected challenges [10:51] Understand the client's needs, budget, and decision-making process before presenting. [15:29] Don't fear last-minute offers or rejections; they're preferences, not decisions. [17:07] Focus on uncovering the true motivations behind procurement negotiations. [20:44] Focus on addressing the client's vision, budget, decision-making, and challenges for a deal that finalizes naturally. [25:16] Challenge and adapt your sales behavior for improvement. Why Systems Outperform Gut Instincts One major theme Jim emphasizes is the value of a systematic approach. The Camp System of negotiation, developed by Jim Camp Sr., has shaped negotiation successes for decades. Why does systemization matter so much in high-stakes negotiations? It all comes down to emotional control. “The higher the stakes, the more emotional both sides become,” Jim points out. A clear framework keeps you focused, reduces the risk of irrational decision-making, and helps you recover when negotiations veer off course. Key elements include: Framing the right mindset before you enter the negotiation. Methodically planning every meeting and communication. Debriefing after each interaction to assess what worked and what needs adjustment. This careful planning doesn't eliminate surprises, but it ensures you're better equipped to handle them as they arise. Top Negotiation Tactics That Build (Not Break) Trust While Jim pushes back on the idea of “leverage” as a goal, he offers three core tactics that foster trust and effectiveness: Internal Alignment: Before any negotiation starts, make sure your own team is unified in objectives and understands what success looks like. Iterative Planning: Don't treat negotiation as a single event. Plan each conversation with the other party's motivations and decision-making process in mind. Respect the Right to Veto: Openly acknowledge your counterpart's right to say “no.” Paradoxically, this lowers tension, builds trust, and leads to more honest discussions. This approach is not just respectful but also strategic. When clients feel safe to say no, they're less defensive and more open to exploring mutually beneficial solutions. Why Planning and Emotional Control Are Negotiation Superpowers Jim draws on his experience as a military aviator to illustrate the importance of planning under pressure. Whether flying a mission or working triage in an ER, a systematic approach helps teams stay calm when the unexpected happens. Planning isn't just about tactical prep—it's fundamentally about emotional regulation. Knowing what you'll do in a variety of scenarios (“What if they say yes? What if they say no?”) keeps you grounded and flexible. This matters because decisions are made primarily on emotion, rather than logic, in up to 96% of cases, according to Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman. Common Negotiation Pitfalls—and How to Avoid Them Too often, sales professionals jump into demos and presentations before ensuring they're speaking to qualified decision-makers about the real problems. Jim suggests a disciplined approach: We have to uncover what issues or challenges matter most to the client, confirm they have the budget and authority to close a deal, and finally resist the urge to “present” too early—focus first on listening and diagnosing. Aggressive tactics from buyers—like last-minute demands or “take it or leave it” statements—are usually emotional moves, not real decisions. Instead of reacting defensively, seek to understand the underlying reasons for resistance. Four common causes: lack of perceived value, insufficient data, lack of authority, or simple bluffing. Putting the System to Work Jim shares a case study from his own background, of when a large auto dealership shifted from the usual high-pressure sales to a respectful, client-focused system, their sales and referrals soared. Giving clients permission to say “no” and centering the experience around their needs earned the dealership trust and loyalty, resulting in lasting success. Jim is always striving for self-improvement: “Challenge your current behavior. Don't settle for the status quo. Adopt a system, whether it's ours or someone else's, and keep iterating.” By focusing on honesty, respect, and disciplined preparation, sales professionals can elevate negotiation from a dreaded experience to a proud profession—one that benefits both buyers and sellers alike.

Hey Beloved, Everyone says emotions must be managed. But every breakthrough I've witnessed came from clients who stopped trying to “fix” what they felt.As a hypnotherapist, I've witnessed hundreds of clients release their deepest grief through something unexpected: spontaneous laughter.When you make it safe for emotions to move through you, they don't just disappear - they transform.But here's what's crazy...This internal trust doesn't just heal your emotions - it literally clears paths that emotional debris has blocked, making keys fit into locks that never worked before.Think about how often you try to control your feelings instead of just experiencing them.We're taught that emotions need to be managed, contained, fixed.But what if the real power comes from simply witnessing them without judgment?When you honor your emotions as messengers rather than problems to solve, something magical happens.Your head and heart begin communicating again, creating an internal harmony that spills into every aspect of your life.And here's where it gets really interesting - this isn't just about feeling better, it's about accessing higher consciousness.Higher consciousness isn't some mystical state reserved for monks on mountaintops.It's available to you right now through emotional intelligence and radical acceptance.Being a true witness means honoring someone's experience without trying to control or fix it.When you trust another's truth, you empower them to claim their own authority.This simple shift doesn't just change conversations - it's literally building the foundation for a more conscious society.In chaotic times, our instinct is to seek certainty and surround ourselves with people who think exactly like we do.Your ego whispers, "If everyone saw things my way, I'd feel safe again."But that approach keeps you trapped in fear, desperately clinging to control that was never really yours.The real breakthrough comes when you embrace uncertainty instead of fighting it.Letting go of your need to be right creates space for something profound - a deep knowing that transcends intellectual understanding.When you release preconceived notions, you make room for unexpected breakthroughs and solutions you couldn't have imagined before.This isn't just philosophical talk - it's practical magic that transforms relationships, careers, and your relationship with yourself.The noise of the world may seem overwhelming, but underneath it all, a current of peace is always flowing.You access that peace not by controlling chaos, but by surrendering to the beautiful mystery of not knowing all the answers.By witnessing without judgment, you create a ripple that elevates consciousness for all.This is how we transform chaos into clarity – not by controlling others, but by trusting the divine flow within ourselves.So….. How Can You Perceive Chaos and SHIFT the Framing into Clarity When You Trust the Mystery of the UNKNOWN? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Spiritual Formation: Paying Attention – Romans 12 - Pastor Hannah Witte - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarboror watch our livestream Sundays @ 10:45am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard Summary: In her first sermon as a pastor at Ann Arbor Community Church, Pastor Hannah Witte introduced herself with warmth, humor, and a powerful testimony of God's transformative grace in her own life. She shared her journey from a non-religious upbringing in Columbus, Ohio to a life devoted to Christ, sparked by an invitation to a youth group and a deep encounter with God's love. Framing her heart for ministry, she emphasized a longing to see all people recognize their belovedness, to participate in renewal in Ann Arbor, and to co-create a diverse, Spirit-empowered church. Rooted in Romans 12, Hannah invited the congregation to consider what it means to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Using vivid metaphors—a smiling God delighting in our spiritual growth and the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly—she challenged listeners to examine the rhythms shaping their lives. Transformation, she said, is not a matter of self-improvement but surrender, and the Spirit does the deep work as we create space through spiritual practices. As the church enters a month focused on spiritual formation, Pastor Hannah laid the foundation for a series exploring four time-tested practices: self-examination, scripture meditation, Sabbath, and solitude. Rather than being conformed to the world around us, we are invited to arrange our lives—like a cocoon—for the Spirit's renewing work, becoming the people God created us to be. With honesty and hope, Pastor Hannah encouraged the community to pay attention and open themselves to God's loving transformation.

Claims that Ghislaine Maxwell's trial was a "witch hunt" reveal more about the people making the claim than the actual proceedings themselves. Framing her prosecution as political theater or scapegoating for Epstein's death ignores the mountains of evidence presented by survivors, investigators, and even Maxwell's own associates. She wasn't dragged into court on vague allegations or hearsay—she was tried based on detailed, corroborated accounts of her role in recruiting, grooming, and enabling the abuse of underage girls over many years. Calling that a “witch hunt” is a rhetorical shield—an attempt to reframe a hard-earned moment of accountability as hysteria, all while ignoring the systemic failures and powerful networks that allowed Epstein's operation to flourish unchecked.This revisionist push to rebrand Maxwell as some kind of martyr isn't just offensive—it's dangerous. It discredits survivors, undermines public trust in criminal accountability, and fuels the exact kind of misinformation campaign that let Epstein operate in plain sight for decades. The “witch hunt” narrative serves a particular crowd: those desperate to deflect scrutiny from the institutions, financiers, and power brokers who were too close for comfort. If anything, Maxwell's trial barely scratched the surface. To call it overreach is not just dishonest—it's a calculated distraction from the justice that remains unserved.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10467497/Prince-Andrews-ex-Lady-Victoria-Hervey-44-says-Ghislaine-Maxwells-trial-witch-hunt.html

Addiction medicine specialists Dr. Casey Grover and Dr. Reb Close share essential information about using naloxone (Narcan) to save lives during opioid overdoses. They discuss how naloxone administration differs between hospital settings and community response, emphasizing that having this medication readily available is crucial in today's world of fentanyl-contaminated street drugs.• Naloxone should be as normalized and common as fire extinguishers in homes and workplaces• In medical settings, naloxone can be carefully titrated to prevent precipitating severe withdrawal• In community settings, the protocol is simple: administer nasal naloxone, call 911, wait for help• Only 4% of naloxone prescriptions are actually picked up at pharmacies, making direct distribution essential• Almost all street drugs now contain fentanyl, placing anyone who uses illicit substances at risk of opioid overdose• Effective community training includes brief videos, hands-on demonstrations, and normalizing the medication• Emerging substances in the drug supply (xylazine, synthetic benzos) make naloxone even more important• Framing naloxone as a tool to help others rather than oneself can overcome stigma-based resistanceIf you want to conduct a naloxone training in your community and need resources like videos, slide decks, or handouts, please email Dr. Grover. Together we can ensure everyone has the knowledge and tools to prevent overdose deaths.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com
Why do people say one thing and do another? Why do some ads flop while others go viral? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with behavioral marketing expert Nancy Harhut to explore the science behind how people actually make decisions—and how marketers can ethically influence those instincts to boost attention, engagement, and conversions.Nancy shares decades of experience blending behavioral science with marketing strategy, revealing practical tools that business owners and service providers can use right now. You'll learn about eye magnet words that increase clicks, why the word “free” still works wonders, how to use social proof and authority to build trust, and why loss aversion might be your best sales tool. Whether you're a clinic owner, entrepreneur, or content creator, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to improve your messaging and get better results.Key Takeaways:Behavioral marketing leverages subconscious decision-making. Up to 95% of decisions are made in the subconscious mind—using behavioral prompts can dramatically improve ad performance and message retention.Certain words have proven psychological impact. Words like “you,” “free,” “new,” and “alert” are eye magnets that instinctively capture attention and drive engagement across email, print, and social media.Use social proof and authority to build trust. Testimonials, certifications, and credibility signals reduce uncertainty and help potential clients feel confident choosing your service or product.Loss aversion is more powerful than gain. Framing your offer in terms of what someone could lose (vs. what they'll gain) can double response rates and increase urgency in decision-making.About the Guest:Nancy Harhut is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of HBT Marketing, where she helps brands apply behavioral science to increase marketing performance.

With deep respect for trade partners and decades of hands-on experience in concrete, he breaks down how smaller batch sizes, smarter sequencing, and tighter flow can cut project phases by a third or even half.

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” - Proverbs 17:22As we wrap up our series on the temperaments and how they impact our financial decisions, we're turning the tables a bit. Today, Kathleen Edelman—who's been our guide through this journey—is taking the host seat to interview Rob West about the Yellow temperament.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.What Is the Yellow Temperament?The yellow temperament, known as sanguine, is characterized by high energy, optimism, and a deep desire for connection. Yellows are extroverted and people-oriented, speaking the language of fun and relationships. They often bring joy, inspiration, and laughter into every environment they enter. However, they also face challenges, particularly in areas such as focus, follow-through, and impulse control.Historically rooted in the work of Hippocrates, the four temperaments offer a timeless framework for understanding how people are wired to think, speak, and listen. The yellow temperament is one of four:Red (Choleric): Task-oriented extroverts, driven by power and control.Blue (Melancholic): Task-oriented introverts, focused on perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic): People-oriented introverts, seeking calm and harmony.Yellow (Sanguine): People-oriented extroverts, motivated by fun and connection.How Yellows Communicate and RelateYellows are often described as the life of the party—fun, inspiring, and full of energy. They thrive on being liked, included, and appreciated. They tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves and use charm, humor, and emotional connection to relate to others.Their innate needs include:Approval – being accepted for who they are.Acceptance – feeling included and invited.Attention – being given full focus and eye contact.Affection – being acknowledged and appreciated.When these needs are met, yellows radiate joy and creativity. But when unmet, they may seek attention in unhealthy ways or rely on charm to mask insecurity. Understanding these tendencies can help others relate to yellows with empathy and intention—and help yellows themselves pursue healthy, life-giving connections.Financial Habits of the Yellow TemperamentWhen it comes to money, yellows tend to view finances through the lens of spontaneity and enjoyment. They view money as a means to create experiences, give generously, and make memories with others. However, their optimism and impulsiveness can lead to overspending or a lack of strategic planning.Some common financial tendencies of yellows include:Generosity is driven by emotion rather than strategy.Difficulty sticking to strict budgets or long-term plans.A tendency to avoid hard money conversations, especially if there's potential for conflict or disapproval.Using money to strengthen relationships and bring joy.To thrive financially, yellows benefit from tools that provide structure without feeling restrictive, such as flexible budgeting systems, automated savings, or labeled cash envelopes tied to experiences (e.g., “Dinner with Friends”). Framing financial stewardship in terms of purpose, joy, and relational impact helps them stay engaged and motivated.Communication and StewardshipIn conversations—especially around finances—yellows respond best to positive framing and shared vision. They may avoid spreadsheets or conflict, but they are quick to dream, encourage, and cast vision. When invited into planning that includes moments of celebration or generosity, they are more likely to stay committed.In leadership or ministry settings, yellows often bring energy and hope to conversations. They are natural encouragers and communicators, able to uplift others with genuine warmth and presence. However, they may need accountability partners or systems to help with follow-through and details.Understanding their own temperament also enables yellows to listen more intentionally. With tools like Edelman's workbook, they can better identify the temperaments of others and respond in ways that build connection and clarity, both at work and at home.The yellow temperament is a vibrant and life-giving expression of God's creative design. While yellows may struggle with structure and impulse, they bring essential gifts of joy, vision, and generosity. With the right tools and a deeper self-awareness, they can become faithful stewards who reflect the heart of Christ, not just in their relationships, but also in how they give, plan, and lead.For a deeper dive into all four temperaments and how they relate to stewardship, relationships, and communication, explore Kathleen Edelman's featured article in our Faithful Steward magazine.

Would it be wise to start converting some of those traditional funds into Roth now—even if it means taking a tax hit—to avoid higher taxes in retirement?I'm 40 years old and have several 401(k) accounts from former employers. I've received mixed advice—some financial advisors say I can't consolidate them into a single account, while another is recommending I move them into a hedge fund that claims to offer a 15–17% return. What should I do?A few years ago, we loaned our son and his wife money to build a tiny home. They're now selling it at a loss to a third party. Are there any sales tax or personal tax consequences we—or our son—should be aware of in this situation?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication by Kathleen EdelmanWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

A meditation preached at Lyncroft Centre, Toronto, on July 20, 2025.In Genesis 18 we have the account of the appearance of the Lord to Abraham at the Oak of Mamre. It is a wonderful account, in the heat of the day, with the cicada and the grasshoppers buzzing and the heat haze. Then we get a mirror image of this with the account of Bethany, and Jesus being treated, with his apostles by Martha and Mary. (Luke 10:38-42)It's all about where we can contemplate God and serve him in our life. Framing our stresses, anxiety, our multiple tasks in the light of God's love.Music: Michael Lee of Toronto.Thumbnail: Andrei Rublev Icon of Three Angels at Oaks of Mambre, 1410 in Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.

You can contact me here: rick@ricksaez.com Show Notes WHAT HAPPENED – Personal Story: There I was, deep in the Amazon, camera in hand, soaking in this explosion of color—bright blue water, rusty orange clay, jungle green overhead, and that soft golden light photographers dream about. The kind of scene that doesn't just ask to be photographed—it demands it. So what did I do? I lined up my shot, textbook rule-of-thirds style. Sky in the top third, water in the bottom, everything “perfect.” But something felt… off. That's when I said screw it, let's break some rules. I shifted the frame. Horizon smack in the middle. My boat creeping in from the corner, becoming this perfect leading line. It looked weird… until it didn't. Until it looked just right. It was one of those rare, unrepeatable moments. In five minutes, the light would shift, the river would curve, and that magic scene? Gone forever. But because I trusted my eye over the rulebook, I got the shot—and every time I look at it, I feel that moment again. PRINCIPLE: Here's the thing—creative freedom doesn't mean ignoring the rules; it means understanding them well enough to know when to ditch them. Composition is a tool, not a cage. The rule of thirds, leading lines, all that jazz? It's there to guide your storytelling, not police it. Your camera is just the vehicle. You're the driver. TRANSITION: But so many of us get stuck. Not because we're not “creative enough,” but because we cling to the rules like a safety blanket. We're afraid to break out of the grid and trust our own visual instincts. And let's be honest—most beginner photographers aren't struggling because they don't have the gear. They're struggling because they're trapped by formula, instead of finding their own rhythm. THAT'S WHY: That's why this episode with Sergio is a breath of fresh, Amazonian air. We dive into composing wild spaces with intention, not restriction. We explore how to blend intuition with technique so your photos tell your story, not just the story the rulebook approves of. CALL TO ACTION: Tired of taking “technically correct” photos that still feel flat? Frustrated when your shots don't match what you felt in the moment? Listen to this episode now and start capturing the kinds of images that make people stop and feel something

This comprehensive series of transcripts delves into intense political and social turmoil unfolding in the United States. Highlighting Axios reports and firsthand accounts, the discussions expose escalating attacks on ICE and border agents, fueled by calls from within the Democratic base for violent resistance. The narrative explores alleged ties between political actors and organized gangs, the impact of mass illegal immigration on communities, and claims of a deliberate strategy to transform the country's demographics and governance. Framing these developments as the early stages of a slow-moving civil war, the commentary warns of deepening divisions, breakdowns in law and order, and the contentious fight over America's future—portrayed as a critical struggle against a looming authoritarian regime.

What if the most toxic thing in your home isn't a chemical—but a mindset? Clean living advocate and first-time author Lindsay Dahl returns to unpack the nuanced middle ground of wellness, environmental health, and personal agency. Together, we explore the emotional toll of trying to “do it all right,” the dangers of black-and-white thinking in the age of social media, and why real change takes both individual action and systemic accountability. We talk spatulas and seed oils, fast fashion and flame retardants, fear and freedom—and why being a pragmatist in today's digital landscape is both radical and necessary. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by wellness culture or simply want to think more critically about what's in your home and how it gets there, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a call to thoughtful action. 0:00 | Framing the Problem with Balance 2:20 | Education, Policy, and the Role of Media 5:40 | Health vs. Science: A Cultural Disconnect 8:06 | Control, Consumerism, and Systemic Change 11:25 | Fast Fashion as a Microcosm 14:12 | Inside “Cleaning House”: Book Preview 18:41 | The Cost of Speaking Up 23:38 | Reclaiming Community and Dialogue 26:25 | Closing and Call to Action Find Lindsay: lindsaydahl.com instagram.com/lindsay_dahl linkedin.com/in/lindsay-dahl-3617076 Pre-order Lindsay's book "Cleaning House: The Fight to Rid Our Homes of Toxic Chemicals" almost anywhere books are sold, releases 8/5/25 Find Stacy: realeverything.com instagram.com/realstacytoth missionmakersart.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Months ago, Heights teacher Joe Lanzilotti took up a prodigious project: reviewing the body of popular literature on boys' education. Partway through his journey, Dr. Lanzilotti catches us up on the diversity of scientific, biological, psychological, and moral perspectives—and how they cohere into a bigger picture of boys and where their developmental needs differ from those of girls.

We know why we feel the way we do about certain political issues, don't we? Don't we??It turns out that politicians, political strategists, and the media are working every day to alter what we think about something before we know we're thinking about it. And the way this is done is through "framing."So what is framing? How long have people been doing it? And most importantly, how can we push back against it? Taking us through the Frame Wars is Dr. Jennifer Mercieca, professor of communication and author of Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump.For those who want to know more, check out our episode on Propaganda, as well as Jen's article on Frame Warfare.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 167 As recently introduced on the New Discourses Podcast, the Nazis performed an experiment of sorts (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/03/woke-nationalism-and-the-nazi-experiment/) between the mid 1920s and 1945, when that experiment met its catastrophic end. Framing what they did as an experiment is a valuable perspective. They found themselves in a certain set of unpleasant societal conditions, and they turned to Nazism to solve their problems. It failed. Miserably and disastrously. That experiment is therefore a warning to the world: if you find yourselves in conditions that seem similar, do not go the way of the Nazis. In this New Discourses podcast series, host James Lindsay walks the listener through portions of Hitler's Mein Kampf to explain clearly what the basis for the Nazi Experiment was, so that we might understand it. In this first episode, he reads from Chapter 1 of Volume 2 of that wretched book to explain the Nazi racial worldview (weltanshauung), which built the state we know and rightly hate on deliberate, knowing "racialism" (racism). Join him to understand and to see how close history is to rhyming again. New book!
