Snapper drop-offs, tarpon teasers, and kayak red grouper—seasonal strategy from Pensacola to Panama City. In this week's episode of the Northwest Florida Fishing Report, Brandon Barton shares what's working inshore and nearshore around Pensacola. He breaks down early morning trout and redfish tactics on the grass flats, how moon phases and bait presence are shaping the bite, and why topwaters are key this time of year. Brandon also offers a deep dive into tarpon fishing from the kayak, covering everything from bait selection and livewell setup to ideal leader strength, drag pressure, and how to handle a bite when it finally happens. Captain Adam Peeples of One Shot Charters delivers the offshore report, detailing how the thermocline and clean green water are influencing pelagic movement. He highlights the continued success of the swordfish bite, with several fish over 150 pounds, and shares a wild encounter with the biggest blue marlin he's ever seen. Adam also gives tips on tuna tactics, bait choices, and using Hilton's data to find the right temperature breaks and current lines offshore. Harris Scruggs of Team Aquatic Charters checks in from the Panama City area with a report from both nearshore and offshore waters. He shares where he's finding red snapper, what bait setups are proving most effective, and how conditions have changed over the past few weeks. Harris also discusses trolling strategies for king mackerel, the role of water clarity, and how to make the most of a short window when the bite turns on. Whether you're working the flats at dawn or chasing big game offshore, this episode brings the timely insight and local expertise you need to stay dialed in. It's all brought to you whether it's good, bad, or ugly.

The competition isn’t just on the scoreboard — it’s who has the fanciest pop-up tent, the flashiest team merch, and the most unnecessarily lifted SUV. Forget the coach’s pep talk; these parents are here to flex. And somewhere beneath all that gloss and gear… a game of soccer is still trying to happen. In the age of performative parenting, sports fields have become the new catwalk. But hey — if the kids are learning teamwork, maybe the parents should too. The headmaster at Hilton college George Harris spoke on exactly this when issued a plea to parents.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Book of Revelation is known as Apocalyptic literature and has fascinated scholars for centuries, each giving his or her own interpretation. It wasn't until the Restoration, though, that we received the keys to understand its message. With the help of Joseph Smith's questions and the Lord's answers, we learn that the Book of Revelation discloses vital information about the last days. It is filled with God's direction for Jesus' Second Coming and the end of the earth. The keys to understand it were given in the day it was needed. It is a book for our day. Join Dr. Lynn Hilton Wilson as she unfolds the keys of the Book of Revelation that help decipher its teachings and prophetic direction.
What makes a man vanish into the woods—only to return as a predator? In this week's ReWired, Dani ventures into the haunted trailheads of the human psyche to unpack the chilling case of Gary Michael Hilton, a drifter-turned-serial killer whose victims were hikers, wanderers, and lovers of the wild. But this isn't just a rehash of his crimes—it's an excavation. We peel back the camouflage of Hilton's mind to explore:Why the wilderness became both his refuge and his hunting groundHow psychological detachment and transient identity fueled his violenceWhether a different intervention—or system—might have stopped himAnd the deeply unsettling question: was Hilton always a killer-in-waiting, or was he shaped by what we overlooked?Dani dissects the justice system's blind spots, the human cost of being ignored or misidentified, and the terrifying allure of the wilderness when survival turns sinister. This isn't just about murder in the mountains—it's about the cracks in society where monsters take root.✨ Plus, an unforgettable personal story from Dani's time in law enforcement—a haunting case that still lingers unsolved, echoing the same bystander indifference and missed chances.

O deputado federal Kim Kataguiri e o deputado estadual Guto Zacarias – ambos da União Brasil – pediram ao Ministério Público Federal (MPF) uma investigação sobre uma possível prática de improbidade administrativa por parte da deputada federal Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP).A iniciativa foi motivada pelo reembolso de 24 mil reais solicitado por Erika Hilton à Câmara, referente a uma cirurgia na região do nariz. Segundo declarações públicas da parlamentar, o procedimento teve natureza funcional e estética — sendo que a parte estética teria sido custeada por ela.Os parlamentares, no entanto, questionam a realização conjunta dos procedimentos — médico e estético — em um mesmo ato cirúrgico, o que levanta dúvidas sobre o real fracionamento dos custos e o efetivo uso de dinheiro público.

A deputada do PSOL escreveu no X.“Não, meus amores, eu não contrato maquiador com verba de gabinete. Isso é simplesmente uma invenção.O que eu tenho são dois secretários parlamentares que, todos os dias, estão comigo e me assessoram em comissões e audiências, ajudam a fazer relatórios, preparam meus briefings, dialogam diretamente com a população e prestam um serviço incrível me acompanhando nas minhas agendas em São Paulo, em Brasília, nos interiores e no exterior.Tudo completamente comprovado por fotos, vídeos e pelo próprio trabalho cotidiano deles.E sim, conheci eles como maquiadores, identifiquei outros talentos e os chamei para trabalhar comigo. Quando podem, fazem minha maquiagem e eu os credito por isso. Mas se não fizessem,continuariam sendo meus secretários parlamentares.”Felipe Moura Brasil e Wilson Lima comentam:Papo Antagonista é o programa que explica e debate os principais acontecimentos do dia com análises críticas e aprofundadas sobre a política brasileira e seus bastidores.

In this episode of The Guilty Files: Uncovered, Brian pulls back the curtain on one of the most chilling and calculated serial killers to ever stalk America's wilderness—Gary Michael Hilton.Known as “The National Forest Killer,” Hilton used the vast, unguarded expanses of America's public lands as his personal hunting ground. Between 2007 and 2008, Hilton committed a series of brutal murders across Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida, targeting hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who thought they were safe in nature's solitude.Brian walks listeners through Hilton's disturbing background, unraveling how a drifter with a manipulative charm and a long history of mental instability evolved into a predator who eluded capture for far too long. From the disappearance and beheading of 24-year-old Meredith Emerson in the North Georgia mountains, to the murders of John and Irene Bryant on a remote trail in North Carolina, and the horrifying fate of Sunday school teacher Cheryl Dunlap in Florida, this case is as horrifying as it is haunting.This episode also examines the multi-jurisdictional manhunt, the forensic missteps, and the red flags missed by authorities over the years. Brian takes a methodical and investigative approach, analyzing Hilton's patterns, his use of national forests to evade detection, and the terrifying reality that these killings weren't just crimes of opportunity—they were calculated acts by a killer who knew how to blend into the backwoods like a ghost.But there's more to this case than the murders themselves. Brian also digs into the psychology of a man who weaponized loneliness, manipulated trust, and left a trail of trauma stretching across the southeastern United States. If you think the wilderness is peaceful, this story will make you think twice. Listener discretion is strongly advised. The episode contains details of violent crimes and disturbing behavior that may not be suitable for all audiences. Be sure to follow and subscribe to The Guilty Files wherever you get your podcasts.

One of the most prolific visions in Church history unfolds to Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon in 1832. Lasting an amazing 90 minutes, the pair see God the Father, Christ, Satan and the three degrees of heavenly glory. The revelation meant so much to the prophet that he reworked it as a beautiful poem and included it in a letter to W.W. Phelps, with whom he shared correspondence. To others though, this revelation signified the end of their relationship with the prophet. But why? Join Dr. Lynn Hilton Wilson as she tackles some of the tough questions surrounding one of the most significant revelations of the Restoration. Were there any witnesses to this amazing vision or was it explained to members of the Church at a later date? Was the content of the vision accepted by members of the Church or did it create controversy? How similar were the revelations that Joseph received to the teachings of other Christian leaders of the time?

In this Company episode of The Synopsis we draw on our 108-page research report on Airbnb; the company that pioneered the sharing economy and become a Silicon Valley poster child for what a succesful start-up can become. Having started as a means to pay rent, Airbnb quickly turned into one of the world's largest accommodations provider. In a matter of just a decade, Airbnb was able to host more guests than Hilton could in 100 years. However, despite their large impact in how tens of millions of people traveled and millions more monetized their unused properties, they struggled for years to turn a profit. That is until founder Brian Chesky decided to do something drastic and reshape the business—in the midst of Covid no less. In the matter of just a few years he took the business from losing $4bn a year to generating $3bn annually in free cash flow. With Airbnb having a firm grasp on the Alternative Accommodations segment, they are preparing to enter into new businesses and new verticals. Tune in for all of this and more!

Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Previously Terii was Talent and Change-Asia Pacific head for British American Tabacco; Executive Officer and Vice-President, Business Engagement Leader-Special Projects, MetLife; Talent Partner APAC-Director UBS; Senior Consultant, Human Partners/Citadel Consulting; Organization Development Executive British American Tabacco Japan. He has a BA from Macalester College and an MBA from McGill University. · “You can't change Japan, so you're the one that's going to need to change.” · “If you say something, you've got to follow through with it—that's how you build trust.” · “I believe in uplifting the team more than the team executing my directives.” · “Patience doesn't mean doing nothing; it means putting in the time to build understanding.” · “Feedback means you care—if you stop giving feedback, you've stopped caring about their development.” Terii approaches leadership in Japan through the lens of authenticity, patience, and servant leadership. His cross-cultural background and career in multiple industries provide him with a nuanced view of leadership dynamics, but it is his ability to adapt to the Japanese context that defines his success. In Japan, he recognises that building rapport and trust takes significantly longer than in other markets like Singapore or Hong Kong. This delay, however, is not a barrier but a gateway—he invests heavily in relationships and sees trust as something earned through consistent action and personal engagement. He stresses the importance of understanding before implementing change. Entering a new industry, Terii refrained from immediate restructuring. Instead, he observed, listened, and built relationships with stakeholders at every level. By not coming in as the outsider intent on overhauling everything, he earned credibility and buy-in. He believes in creating a culture where feedback is delivered constructively and mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities, not grounds for punishment. Trust, for him, is built on follow-through, consistency, and psychological safety. He makes an intentional effort to have his team's back, especially when things go wrong, and avoids public reprimands. Emotional control and a steady demeanour are key to maintaining trust—he's acutely aware that employees are constantly reading their leader's signals. Terii has driven Hilton's cultural transformation in Japan by focusing on both hygiene factors, such as leave policies and compensation, and emotional engagement through peer recognition and celebration of human milestones. Under his leadership, Hilton Japan rose from being unranked to third best place to work in the country and number one in hospitality. He values grassroots input, launching Gemba-level focus groups to surface insights from the frontline. For new leaders in Japan, his advice is clear: be patient, don't expect to change the country—change yourself. Invest time in relationships, identify internal influencers, and adapt communication for clarity and resonance.

Google Hotels is facing increasing pressure from competitors like Expedia, Tripadvisor, and Trivago, partly due to changes from the EU's Digital Markets Act and the rise of Google's AI Overviews impacting search visibility. Hotel developers are embracing dual-brand properties to cut costs and boost profitability by sharing infrastructure and appealing to broader market segments, with major chains like Marriott and Hilton leading the trend. Meanwhile, JetBlue is cutting costs amid soft travel demand, with potential route reductions and hiring slowdowns as it struggles to break even this year.

On this episode of #NoVacancyNews, I reconnected with longtime industry powerhouse Juan Corvinos Solans during NYU IHIF, who just made a major career pivot—leaving Hilton after 16 years to take on a bold new leadership role as President of #CALA for Hotel Equities. So, what drives someone to walk away from the familiar and embrace the unknown? We discuss: *Why Juan stepped away from a steady brand career to lead something new *How he's helping build a startup-style venture focused on all-inclusive and urban lifestyle hotels *What it's like to switch from brand-side to operations-side leadership *Why he's traveling more than ever—and how his wife found out about the move from a press release. Uh-oh *The vision for combining U.S.-based operational expertise with local talent across Latin America *Building a team of hospitality rock stars with a fresh perspective Juan's passion for shaking up the status quo is contagious—and you'll want to hear what's next. Special thanks to Actabl:
As the work on the Book of Commandments continues, opposition comes knocking. Two former members of the Church turn from their covenants and seek to destroy it. Symonds Ryder and Ezra Booth each concoct several devious methods to stop the Restoration. Meanwhile, Joseph Smith begins to make minor changes to previous revelations and draws criticism from detractors who accuse him of trying to cover up folk magic and the use of previous editors. From this work comes a key question that members now and in the past must grapple with. Why did Joseph make Changs to God's word? Join Dr. Lynn Hilton Wilson as she takes a critical look at these changes to revelation in the early Church. With point by point instruction and several detailed examples, viewers will examine specific stories, details and history behind this challenging period of Church history. This is an episode not to be missed.
Celebrity activists, while usually well intentioned, rarely have a systemic understanding of the causes they tout - and thus leave a lot of damage in their wake. Paris Hilton is no exception. Over the past couple of years, she has used her celebrity to shut down teen rehab facilities - and the consequences are dark. Christina Buttons, an investigative reporter for the Manhattan Institute and a former troubled teen herself, spent time in the same facilities as Hilton and is exposing the holes in her work.

We discussed Hilton's life growing up in Rochdale's slums, starting work at nine years old, and his activism in the National Unemployed Workers' Movement.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. There's Something Deeper Going On Dives deep into the escalating crisis in Los Angeles, where ongoing riots tied to illegal immigration enforcement have prompted the deployment of 700 U.S. Marines. Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Clay and Buck analyze the stark contrast between the current administration under President Donald Trump and the response during the 2020 riots, emphasizing a firmer, law-and-order approach in Trump’s second term. The hosts explore how the Trump administration is handling the unrest with decisive federal action, contrasting it with the perceived failures of Democrat-led cities and states. They highlight the political and societal consequences of unchecked illegal immigration, including the strain on public services, the manipulation of congressional apportionment due to non-citizen counts, and the broader implications for national sovereignty and the rule of law. A major theme is the shift in conservative discourse from border wall rhetoric to a more urgent call for mass deportations and interior enforcement. Clay and Buck argue that the Biden-era influx of over 10 million illegal immigrants has created a de facto open border, with long-term consequences for American democracy and representation. California Gubernatorial Candidate Steve Hilton Steve Hilton, gubernatorial candidate in California, provides on-the-ground insight into the destruction in Los Angeles. Hilton describes a total breakdown of law and order, with businesses—many owned by working-class Latinos—devastated by looting and arson. He criticizes California leadership, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, for prioritizing political pandering over public safety. The hosts also discuss the media’s portrayal of the riots, calling out CNN and others for downplaying the violence. They credit Elon Musk’s ownership of X (formerly Twitter) for enabling more transparent coverage of the events, undermining the “mostly peaceful protest” narrative. Additional topics include the historical context of the 1986 Reagan amnesty, the unique challenges posed by illegal immigration from Mexico, and the ideological roots of the current unrest, which Hilton links to decades of leftist indoctrination in education and politics. WI Sen. Ron Johnson In-depth interview with Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson on the pressing issue of federal spending, the national debt crisis, and the future of economic policy under the leadership of current President Donald Trump. This hour centers around the much-discussed “Big Beautiful Bill” currently navigating the U.S. Senate. Senator Johnson, a leading fiscal conservative, outlines the unsustainable trajectory of post-COVID government spending, emphasizing how emergency-level expenditures have become the new budgetary baseline. He contrasts historical fiscal responsibility—such as post-World War II spending reductions—with today’s entrenched budget inflation, highlighting a 58% increase in federal outlays since 2019. Simone Says Sorry Simone Biles issues an apology to Riley Gaines, but none of us believe she wrote it. It reads like a horribly written PR statement and doesn't make any sense or sound the least bit authentic.

Modern-day revelation is a contentious topic among Christians. Does God continue to reveal His will to His prophets or have His followers received all they need as found in the Bible? Joseph Smith went against the prevailing thoughts of the day by helping God restore a Church with an open canon of scripture. For this belief there was much persecution. In this episode, viewers will discover the history of the coming forth of the Doctrine and Covenants. Understand the problems modern-day revelation created for the early Saints and why persecution could be found both inside and outside of the Church.
