Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 22, 2025 is: voluble • VAHL-yuh-bul • adjective Someone may be described as voluble if they are talking a lot in a rapid, energetic way. // Bri knew something was bothering her normally voluble friend when he was reluctant to talk about his day. See the entry > Examples: “The movie is built around an interview with the legendary 91-year-old actor, still vigorous and voluble, with a seize-the-day cornball glow to him. In ‘You Can Call Me Bill,' Shatner sits under the hot lights, with the camera close to his face, talking, talking, and talking—about life, death, acting, fame, love, desolation, and trees.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety, 16 Mar. 2023 Did you know? In a chapter titled “Conversation,” from her 1922 book Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home, Emily Post offers her trademark good advice for the loquacious among us: “There is a simple rule, by which if one is a voluble chatterer ... one can at least refrain from being a pest or a bore. And the rule is merely, to stop and think.” Voluble, as is clear in this context, describes someone or something (as in “voluble personality/prose/presence”) characterized by ready or rapid speech. Voluble traces back to the Latin verb volvere, meaning “to set in a circular course” or “to cause to roll.” Another volvere descendant, volume, can also be a help in remembering voluble's meaning, not because someone described as voluble speaks at a loud volume, per se, but because they have volumes to say.

"Hello --It is May 21st and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You've just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”WEEK  3: Control & SurrenderDay 21: Today's truth (revisited) is: "I can't go back to yesterday..." Idea: Accepting life as it is now. Let's revisit this truth: You can't go back. And it's cruel — because back there is where your loved one still lived. The pain of this loss is real and valid, and it's okay to feel it. But forward doesn't mean forgetting. Forward means carrying. It means honoring. It means showing the world your resilience and strength. Today, name one thing that remains—a memory, a ritual, a cherished keepsake. A part of your child's spirit is not lost; it's still present in your life, a comforting connection that will never fade. When you share stories or engage in activities they loved, you weave their essence into your ongoing journey. We understand that this journey is not easy. You are not walking away from them. You are walking with them into what's next, embracing both the joy of your memories and future challenges. This ongoing journey is a testament to their enduring legacy that continues to shine through you.So, that's all for now...that's your nugget todayTake a breath. Take what you need. leave the rest.

India distinguishes itself as one of the worst places in the world to die (Lancet 2015). In rural areas, because of a severe lack of access to appropriate health care, disease often simply ravages the bodies of our precious people completely unchallenged. A host of factors preclude good quality of remaining life, and a good death. Home based palliative care in this scenario is a breath of fresh air, bringing relief, comfort and hope, thus affirming the dignity of human life grounded in Imago Dei Speaker(s): Ashita Singh Session webpage: https://www.medicalmissions.com/events/gmhc-2024/sessions/impact-of-a-replicable-model-of-palliative-care-in-underserved-rural-indian-communities

Gang membership in El Salvador has a common theme, which is also a potential solution for reducing gang membership and gang violence there. In this interview, I discuss the following with my guest: ►How did El Salvador become the world's most violent country? ►Why is crime so high in El Salvador? ►What are deferred vengeance and retaliation? ►What kinds of crimes are committed in El Salvador? What's the extent of violence? ►Is MS-13 essentially an international gang? ►What is like to interview gang members in El Salvador? ►What is the common theme among gang members in El Salvador? ►How are crime and politics related in El Salvador? ►Has Pres. Bukele really reduced crime? ►Was the Carter Administration involved in the 1979 coup d'etat? ►Was the U.S. involved in this Civil War? ►During the last two decades, has the U.S. been involved in El Salvador politics? ►If you wanted our audience to remember just one point about “El Salvador”, what would it be?

Episode 114: In this conversation, Kate Kavanaugh sits down with author Chris Berdik to discuss his new book 'Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World and How We Can Take It Back'. They dive into the often-overlooked significance of sound in both our personal lives and the natural world. Chris shares insights into the biology of hearing, the impacts of hearing loss, and the pervasive issue of noise pollution—both for humans and wildlife. At its heart, it's about how sound connects us to the world at large and to one another. The discussion explores the evolutionary importance of sound, how our auditory experiences shape our connection to the environment, and the broader implications of noise on our well-being (and the importance of preventing hearing loss). They also touch on how sound can shift environments: from hospitals to neighborhoods. Ultimately, this conversation highlights the critical relationship between sound, human and environmental health, and community engagement in shaping healthier soundscapes.X: @chrisberdikWebsiteNewsletter Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World - and How We Can Take It BackResources Mentioned:Soundprint AppRelated Episodes: Episode 90: Sh*t, Shipping, and Blood: Upending Taboos and Exploring the Ignored with Rose GeorgeEpisode 72: Circular Economies and Linear Infrastructure: the Complex Interplay of Roads, Beavers, and Ecosystems with Ben GoldfarbEpisode 83: A Planetary Pulse of Connection: Exploring the Ocean, Science, and Beyond with Helen Czerski Episode 58: Exploring the Mystery + Embracing the Unknown with Fred ProvenzaSupport Kate: PatreonSubstackPayPal-Leave a One Time TipSponsored By:REDMOND REAL SALT: Use code MINDBODYSOIL_15 for 15% off at Redmond.lifeAffiliates:FIELD COMPANY CAST IRON: fieldcompany.com/kate_kavanaughBAHÉ FOOTWEAR: Use the code ‘Kate10' for 10% off.

"Hello --It is May 20th and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You've just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”WEEK  3: Control & SurrenderDay 20: Today's truth is: "Begin at the beginning... and go on till you come to the end." Idea: Getting unstuck. Grief can make even the most straightforward steps feel like climbing a mountain. It's okay to feel lost. But remember, you're not alone; many have walked a similar path and found their way through.Start right here. Right now. With whatever is in front of you. It's not about the whole journey. Just the next breath. The next sip of water. The next kind thought toward yourself. Each small action builds upon the last, creating a foundation for healing. It's important to remind yourself that movement, no matter how slow, is still progress. It's not about speed or perfection; it's about honoring your feelings and taking each step forward with compassion. So be gentle with yourself, embrace the process, and recognize that every little effort counts. You have the strength to move forward, one breath at a time.So, that's all for now...that's the nugget to carry todayTake a breath. Take what you need. leave the rest.

The Power of Neurofeedback on Brain Health   What if the key to unlocking peak performance, healing trauma, and overcoming anxiety didn't lie in medication — but in rewiring your brain itself? In this episode of Richer Soul, we dive deep with Melissa Hergert, CEO of BrainTrain Centers, who went from being born in a homeless shelter to leading a growing mental wellness empire. Her story is a powerful testimony to the strength of mindset, the science of neurofeedback, and the journey from survival to abundance. Melissa reveals how neurofeedback therapy is changing lives — from kids with ADHD to veterans with PTSD, and even aging adults battling memory loss. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to take control of their mental fitness and unlock their full potential.   Key Takeaways: Neurofeedback Rewires, Not Just Reframes. It works on your brain's physical processing patterns, not just your thoughts — helping with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and more. Trauma, Nutrition, and Environment Are Root Causes. Many “disorders” are just symptoms of deeper issues like unresolved trauma or sugar-laden diets. AI Is the Future — Even in Therapy. Melissa is building AI-powered phone assistants to educate potential clients — showing that automation and empathy can co-exist. Healing Starts at Home. From what you feed your kids to the environment they grow up in, brain health starts with daily decisions.   Money Learning from Melissa: Melissa grew up thinking money was only for survival — you work, you pay bills, repeat. Abundance was never part of the equation. But today, she's rewiring not just her brain, but her financial beliefs. She's learned the importance of respecting money, building an emergency fund, and breaking the generational cycle of scarcity. Her biggest financial advice to young adults? Build good credit and remember: college is not the only path to success.   About Melissa Hergert: Melissa Hergert is the CEO and visionary behind BrainTrain Centers, a national leader in neurofeedback therapy and mental health. With a Master's in Addiction Counseling, Melissa blends clinical insight with entrepreneurial innovation. Her centers help children, veterans, professionals, and seniors achieve better brain function and emotional regulation. Melissa is also a speaker, wellness advocate, and devoted mom of two.   Key Discussion Points:  Why she started her business using a $4,000 student loan check. How operant conditioning via Netflix and sensors is changing therapy. What peak brain performance looks like for pro athletes like Tiger Woods. The role of heart rate variability and breathwork in mental clarity. When medication and neurofeedback work together, not apart. Why the first question she asks is about goals, not symptoms. What neuroplasticity really means — and how it changes lives. Why parents should skip the cereal and start kids on protein breakfasts. How she uses ChatGPT to explain complex science to her clients. Powerful stories of transformation: from non-verbal kids to adults reclaiming purpose.   Conclusion: Melissa Hergert proves that your past does not define your potential. Through science, strategy, and heart, she's helping people reprogram their brains — and their lives. Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, or someone looking to reclaim mental clarity, this episode offers hope, tools, and a roadmap to transformation.   Links: braintraincentersinc.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-hergert-022b1951/ https://www.instagram.com/braintraincentersceo/ https://www.facebook.com/melissaannehergert/   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

I imagine you and I are similar in many ways. When creating my editorial calendar, I try to craft a broader narrative of the design and architecture industry. I view this show as a time capsule being both created and consumed in real time. But if you go back and listen to episodes from 2013 when this podcast was started until now, you will discover an illustrative exposition that both narrates in real time and looking forward to demonstrate where the industry is going by examining where we are. It's a futuristic approach to the built environment. To be transparent with you, that is the part I enjoy most. Every now and then, like the impact of a meteor, something happens to make us all think about the industry as we know it. As we approach the work. These days, it feels like we are experiencing an unending barrage of meteor strikes which is turning our industry upside down. And, believe it or not, I'm not even talking about tariffs, government chaos, wildfires or the supply chain! Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise.

In the following episode, I will be introducing you to Andrew McBride, Partner @ Adams & Reese and Carter Pope, Associate @ Adams & Reese. I found Andrew and Carter while on a journey of exploration, there is a case moving it's way through the legal system called Aaron and Samantha Judge v. Drew Designs, LLC. This is a case about a design relationship gone wrong rife with communication issues, contract issues and a litany of other things that make for a messy professional relationship that winds up in the courts. McBride and Pope authored an article called, “Hidden Ball Trick” - Yankees' Aaron Judge Case Involving Deception Carries Lessons for Contractors.  I've added a link in the show notes and I highly recommend this for contractors, architects and designers. The following conversation covers a number of issues that led to both parties winding up in court and as you are going to hear, much if not all of this could have been avoided. In addition to this case, we also explore, the Judd Foundation v. Clements Design, Inc. in a case that will surely affect the future of dupes as well as another case winding it's way through the courts like a medieval knight moving through the digestive tract of a money guzzling dragon, Gifford v. Sheil. Perhaps the metaphor is too graphic, I'll rethink that one. But it fits. The law is a complicated knot of ideas and it seems to me the best way to avoid legal entanglements is to do good business in the first place and when disagreements come up, and they will, you work hard to find common ground and squash it. And this is why. You will hear the whole conversation with Andrew McBride and Carter Pope of Adams & Reese, right after this. Thank you, Andrew and Carter. Enlightening. Thank you to my incredible partner sponsors, TimberTech, Pacific Sales, and Design Hardware. Amazing companies and great friends to the trade so please give them an opportunity for your next project.

Home prices continue to pressure potential buyers, but there may be a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Katie Hubbard notes that homebuilder sentiment has fallen, leading to a "knife fight" in publicly traded homebuilder communities. As a result, some builders are slashing prices and offering incentives like zero-down mortgage rates to move inventory.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Home renovations can be an exciting time and can transform your home into the dream space you've always wanted. Yet, behind every successful renovation project lies the complex, and sometimes daunting, process of getting building permits.

We also discuss when and how to know when you should pull a permit, and what the inspection process looks like, so you never get caught off guard mid-project.    If dealing with permits leaves you overwhelmed, don't worry because that's where we come in. At Big Fish we take care of all the behind-the-scenes logistics so you get to focus on the exciting parts of your reno!

"Hello --It is May 19th, and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — "You've just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness."WEEK  3: Control & SurrenderDay 19: Today's truth is: "Everything's got a moral...if only you can find it."  Idea: Today, we're exploring the powerful concept of finding meaning in the midst of loss. People love to wrap loss in platitudes. "Everything happens for a reason." "They're in a better place."But let's be honest — not all losses neatly fit into these tidy narratives. Some experiences of grief and loss are messy, complex, and devoid of any clear moral. The moral is how fiercely you love. The true moral of loss often lies in the depth and intensity of the love you cherished for those you've lost. It might also be found in the unexpected connections and communities that rise from the ashes of your grief, reminding you that you are not alone in your sorrow.Remember, this path through grief is a journey, not a destination. Allow yourself the grace to navigate it in your own way, on your own terms. In doing so, you may discover that even amid the pain, there is room for healing, growth, and eventually, a newfound sense of purpose.So, that's all for now...that's the nugget to carry todayTake a breath. Take what you need. leave the rest. And come back tomorrow because, remember, you're not broken—you're grieving. And you're not alone in this madness. ---I'll be right here Talk Soon."AND Here is the Coupon Code: Podcast5 - to use at checkout for 5% offIt is good for BOTH the "Because They Lived" Anthology  Info & Submit HERE and The One-on-One Coaching (for moms) HEREBoth coupons good through June 30, 2025 Thank you for listening! - Melissa[P.S...

Support the showToday I speak with Lauren Wood, a (super brave)  third year Human Services student at Northeastern University in Boston, passionate about social justice, equal mental health access, and (naturally) suicide prevention. Lauren opens up about losing her dear friend Coble to suicide when she was just a senior in high school—an event that shattered her world and changed the trajectory of her life. Now, years later, she is leaning into the hard work of healing while actively building a future in advocacy and mental health support.She shares "I am incredibly honored to share my sweet friend Coble's memory through Melissa's incredible platform". Likewise, Lauren, I am incredibly honored to have had this conversation.With honesty, vulnerability, and grace, she brings her voice to this conversation—keeping Coble's light alive while illuminating the often-silent journey of grief that young people carry. This is a conversation about love, loss, growing up too soon, and the power of reclaiming joy.In this episode, we discuss:

I've been cleaning homes since 2006 and have noticed a dramatic increase in home security as technology improves. Alarms have gone from wired to wireless. Cameras surveil various angles and locations of the home. Garages have keypads. Families are more secure than ever and they can do so at an expense less than it used to cost. This happens so predictively that economists give it a name.The early adopters pay the most like cell phones in the '90s or tvs in the '50s. Once the technology reaches critical mass (around 10% market penetration), the technology floods the market until it cheapens with market saturation around 90%. This is called 'S-Curve' economics. As a side note, this is a fascinating phenomenon to study. Home security has undergone the same S-curve. Check out this statement from a recent article on the state of home security."Around 20% of homes in America have security systems, but this percentage is expected to increase over the next five years. In fact, experts predict that the number of homes with security systems will increase by 64% in that time period."The early adopters of home security were in the '70's, '80's, and '90's. It took 40 years for home security systems to reach 10% market penetration or critical mass. It has taken roughly 10 more years to go from 10% to 20% of all homes secure in the US. This article predicts a jump to over 80% in the next 5 years! That's an 'S-curve' for sure! But I ask you. Is this normalizing effect causing homeowners to feel over-confident?Unfortunately, I've noticed another trend. Homeowners are forgetting to lock their windows at an increasing rate. I'm a detailed house cleaner and clean complete kitchens and bathrooms, baseboards, wood trim, light switches, window ledges & sills over the course of time. I treat every client as if I was cleaning for my own family. Therefore, I'm a noticer! One of my clients was away for 5 days vacation and scheduled cleaning on the day of their arrival home. While I was there, I noticed that all 4 windows on the first floor were unlocked! These 4 windows happened to be the ones to the left and right of the front door on the porch. This discovery made me uneasy, so I locked them and notified the family. They were so thankful.I notice unlocked windows more often in upstairs bedrooms. However, you'd be surprised how many windows I've locked in my 15 years cleaning houses on the first floor! I'm not a psychologist, but I will hypothesize. We are placing too much trust in our technology. Many homeowners in suburbia believe that their neighborhoods are safe. Therefore, they can leave their car doors, front doors, and windows open. If there was an intruder, the alarm system would pick it up. I learned recently from a bank professional that criminals are getting smarter too. They are not the Water Bandits from "Home Alone" that can be thwarted by a 7-year-old boy with lots of toys, tacks, and tar. These criminals are timing their crimes to steal from moms while they drop off kids at daycare. They target shopping parking lots. And they target the most "trusting" homeowners. I'm sure this is not new to anyone reading this.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website
