AgendaMark Zuckerberg faces jury in landmark trial over alleged youth harm linked to social mediaThe lawsuit, K.G.M. v. Meta Platforms, Inc., et al., was filed by a 20-year-old California woman identified by her initials. She alleges that Meta and other tech companies deliberately engineered their platforms to hook young users, contributing to her depression and suicidal thoughts, and seeks to hold them accountable.Regarding Instagram's enforcement efforts, plaintiffs asked whether Meta removed all 4 million under-13 users the company had identified on the platform in 2018. Zuckerberg responded that while the company did not remove all of them, it had implemented tools to detect and address underage accounts and was working to improve those systems.According to reports, Zuckerberg has not directly answered the central question of the case: whether Instagram is addictive. The plaintiff's attorney, Mark Lanier, asked if people tend to use something more if it's addictive. “I'm not sure what to say to that,” Zuckerberg said. “I don't think that applies here.”He said he believes in the “basic assumption” that “if something is valuable, people will use it more because it's useful to them.”When he was asked about his compensation, Zuckerberg said he has pledged to give “almost all” of his money to charity, focusing on scientific research. Lanier asked him how much money he has pledged to victims impacted by social media, to which Zuckerberg replied, “I disagree with the characterization of your question.”Zuckerberg's courthouse entourage showed up in Meta Ray-BansMeta Adding Facial Recognition to Its Smart Glasses That Identifies People in Real Time, Hoping the Public Is Too Distracted by Political Turmoil to Care MMApple sued by West Virginia for alleged failure to stop child sexual abuse material on iCloud, iOS devicesSpaceX said to weigh dual-class IPO shares to empower MuskMacron Blasts Social Media's Free Speech Defense as ‘Bullshit'The stupid (ESG edition)Goldman Sachs to Drop D.E.I. Criteria for Board Members MMThe move would be the Wall Street firm's latest retreat from diversity mandates that its chief executive, David Solomon, had once made a priority.The decision is a result of a deal that Goldman struck with the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit group that has been pressuring numerous companies to drop diversity, equity and inclusion mandates, the people said.As part of its agreement with Goldman, the National Legal and Policy Center, which has a small investment in the bank, withdrew a shareholder proposal demanding that diversity criteria for the board be dropped.In March 2019, Mr. Solomon, his top deputy John Waldron and the firm's chief financial officer at the time, Stephen M. Scherr, declared diversity and inclusion “a top priority.”“When we unite around a common goal, we make progress together,” the men wrote in an email to the staff. They said they would “improve each year” toward goals that included a new recruiting class comprising “50 percent women, 11 percent Black professionals and 14 percent Hispanic/Latino professionals in the Americas, and 9 percent Black professionals in the U.K.”The next year, Mr. Solomon said Goldman would no longer take a company public in the United States or Europe unless it had at least one “diverse” board member. By 2021, a company would need at least two diverse board members in order for Goldman to agree to work on its initial public offering.Inspire Investing CEO: Nike's DEI Is A Legal Liability, Shareholders Coming For AnswersNike's DEI fight is no longer just a social media "culture war" argument. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is investigating Nike over allegations the company's DEI practices discriminated against white employees and job applicants.Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing: "Discrimination, whether it's black people or white people, gay people or straight people, is discrimination."Robert Netzly is a globally recognized authority in the Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) movement, author of the book "Biblically Responsible Investing: On Wall Street As It Is In Heaven." Robert holds a B.S. degree in Liberal Studies from an online university. This article was from OutKick, which aims to expose the destructive nature of "woke" activism and is the antidote to the mainstream sports media that often serves an elite, left-leaning minority instead of the American sports fan. OutKick is owned by Fox Sports' parent company Fox CorporationFederal agency sues Coca-Cola bottler over work event that excluded menA Coca-Cola distributor and bottler is being sued for alleged sexual discrimination over a corporate networking event that excluded men, announced the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which filed the lawsuitAccording to the EEOC's lawsuit, in September 2024, Bedford, N.H.-headquartered Coca-Cola Northeast held a two-day employer-sponsored trip and networking event at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Connecticut. Coca-Cola Northeast privately invited female employees and then excused the female employees who attended the event from their normal work duties on Sept. 10 and 11, 2024, and paid them their normal salary or wages without requiring them to use vacation or other paid time off. Coca-Cola Northeast did not invite any male employees to the event.Trump revokes landmark ruling that greenhouse gases endanger public healthUS President Donald Trump has reversed a key Obama-era scientific ruling that underpins all federal actions on curbing planet-warming gases.The so-called 2009 "endangerment finding" concluded that a range of greenhouse gases were a threat to public health. It's become the legal bedrock of federal efforts to rein in emissions, especially in vehicles.Bill Maher Eviscerates Donald Trump Over ‘Biggest Dick Move in American History'The boring (ESG edition)Starbucks' investor group urges shareholders to replace directors over labor rowStarbucks faced fresh pressure on Wednesday from a coalition of investors including public-sector pension funds that urged shareholders ‌to vote against the reelection of two directors, citing persistent failure ‌to manage labor relations.The move against Starbucks' lead independent director, Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, and Beth ​Ford, chair of the board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, comes as the company is locked in a prolonged effort to reach a collective agreement with its unionized baristas.Companies are cycling through CEOs—and replacing them with first-timers MMSome 168 new CEOs were appointed in 2025, the highest total since 2010. The defining shift was who got the job. Among incoming CEOs, 84% were serving in their first enterprise CEO role, reversing a multi-year tilt toward leaders with prior public-company experience.As recently as 2024, more than one in five new CEOs had already led a public company. That share fell sharply in 2025. Of the 140 first-time CEOs appointed, 116 had no prior enterprise CEO experience. Two-thirds had never served on a public company board, meaning many are stepping into the role without prior exposure to shareholder oversight or public company governance.CEO hopefuls have a new rival for the top job: their own board directorsAppointing board directors as CEOs was once a “break glass in case of emergency” strategy reserved for scandal, illness, or sudden resignation. While it remains a minority path compared with traditional internal promotions, it is no longer an anomaly.New data from Spencer Stuart highlights the shift. Of the 168 new S&P 1500 chief executives appointed in 2025, the highest annual total since 2010, 19 were drawn from their own company boards, the most since 2020. Spencer Stuart classifies directors as outsiders because they lack day-to-day operating responsibility. Even so, more boards are turning to them.Wall Street banks are paying their CEOs like it's 2006 againMorgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick's pay rises 32% to $45mlnBank of America Lifts Moynihan's Pay 17% to $41 Million for 2025Barclays Ceo Pay Hike: Barclays lifts CEO Venkatakrishnan's pay to over £15 million as bonus pool risesCitigroup bumps CEO Jane Fraser's pay to record $59mBro Culture (The Epstein Edition)Thomas Pritzker, Named in Epstein Files, Retires as Hyatt Executive ChairmanTom Pritzker Retires as Executive Chairman of Hyatt After 22 Years of Service and Will Not Stand for Reelection to Board of DirectorsThe Board has appointed Mark S. Hoplamazian, Hyatt's President and Chief Executive Officer, to succeed Mr. Pritzker as Chairman of the Board“Tom's leadership has been instrumental in shaping Hyatt's strategy and long-term growth, and we thank him for his service and dedication to Hyatt,” said Richard Tuttle, Chair of the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. “The Board has engaged in thoughtful succession planning, and we are confident that Mark's deep knowledge of Hyatt's business, strong relationships with owners and colleagues, and proven track record as CEO of nearly two decades positions him well to serve as Chairman and continue driving Hyatt's long-term success.”In a letter to the Hyatt Hotels' Board of Directors, Tom Pritzker wrote, “My job and responsibility is to provide good stewardship. That is important to me. Good stewardship includes ensuring a proper transition at Hyatt. Following discussions with my fellow Board members, I have decided, after serving as Executive Chairman since 2004, and with the company in a strong position, that now is the right time for me to retire from Hyatt. Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which I deeply regret. I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner. I condemn the actions and the harm caused by Epstein and Maxwell, and I feel deep sorrow for the pain they inflicted on their victims.”Dubai's DP World replaces CEO after Epstein links emergeDubai's DP World announced Essa Kazim was the new chairman of its board of directors and Yuvraj Narayan was its new group chief executive officer, replacing Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem.Sulayem had been the CEO of Dubai's largest port operator since 2016 and chairman since 2007.DOJ records showed years of exchanges with Epstein, but Sulayem has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing.Casey Wasserman to sell talent agency following Jefferey Epstein controversyCasey Wasserman has confirmed that he has started the process of selling his talent agency after it was uncovered that he had ties with Jefferey Epstein. The announcement comes as artists began to leave the agency after it was uncovered that the Wasserman CEO had extensive ties with Jeffrey Epstein and had sent flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell. Despite denying that he had any personal or business ties with either, Wasserman sent an apology to the 4,000 employees who work at his sports marketing and talent agency, confirming that he would be stepping down from the company. He said: “I'm deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort […] It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about.”Former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner testifies in House Epstein investigationThe billionaire behind the retail empire that once blanketed shopping malls with names such as Victoria's Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch told members of Congress on Wednesday that he was “duped by a world-class con man” — close financial adviser Jeffrey Epstein. Les Wexner also denied knowing about the late sex offender's crimes or participating in Epstein's abuse of girls and young women.“I was naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man. And while I was conned, I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.”Wexner described himself to the lawmakers as a philanthropist, community builder and grandfather who always strove “to live my life in an ethical manner in line with my moral compass,” according to the statement.Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathy Ruemmler to resign over Epstein linksThe latest Justice Department release revealed a trove of communication between the two, including about potential jobs, her romantic life and gifts Epstein had given her.

Once they were standing, he made a "joke" to the effect of: "Thank you! Just so the ICE agents [in the building] know [who you are]."He reportedly made a follow-up "callback" later in the presentation, suggesting that ICE agents were also monitoring those who hadn't yet used a specific new Slackbot tool.And another joke about ICE surveilling employee travel: when there are literally employees afraid to travel for work due to current situationSalesforce famously promotes a culture of "Ohana" (family) and equality.Parker Harris (Cofounder): In a follow-up meeting, Harris reportedly called the jokes a "violation of the Code of Conduct" and even noted they could be considered a "fireable offense" for a typical employee.Rob Seaman (Slack GM): The head of the Salesforce-owned platform Slack sent a memo to staff stating he "cannot defend or explain" the jokes and that they did not align with his values.Salesforce employees call on CEO Benioff to cancel ICE ‘opportunities'Elon Musk says Anthropic's philosopher has no stake in the future because she doesn't have kidsPalantir, Which Is Powering ICE, Says Immigration Crackdown May Hurt Hiring MMFrom 10-K filed 2 days ago: “if we are not able to recruit, hire, or retain the talent we need because of increased regulation of immigration or work visas … it could be more difficult to staff our personnel on customer engagements and could increase our costs … Additionally, laws and regulations, such as restrictive immigration laws, may limit our ability to recruit outside of the United States ...

She Thought She Knew About Trauma and Stress, Until Jail: A Nurse Speaks. For years, she believed she understood trauma and stress. As a registered nurse, she had already witnessed illness, injury, and emotional hardship both personally and professionally. But nothing, she says, truly prepared her for what she would experience working behind the secured doors of a correctional facility. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Now a retired RN and founder of 3R Strategic Life Coaching, LLC, Laura Bulbitz is sharing her journey publicly through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, it's social media platforms like facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more. Hoping her story resonates with correctional professionals, nurses, police officers, and other first responders facing silent burnout. The Podcast is available and shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. A Calling Born from Personal Trauma Long before she stepped into a jail medical unit, Bulbitz's path toward nursing was shaped by deeply personal experiences. Trauma within her own family, including serious illness and a devastating accident involving her husband and son, became the catalyst that pushed her toward healthcare. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “I wanted to help people survive the moments that change everything,” she said. “When your world flips upside down, healthcare workers are often the first faces you see.” Nursing became more than a career, it became a mission. She worked in demanding environments and eventually transitioned into correctional healthcare, attracted by strong benefits and stable employment opportunities. At the time, it seemed like a practical decision. “It looked like a good move financially and professionally,” she recalled. “I thought I was prepared.” Inside the World of Correctional Nursing Correctional nurses, often called jail nurses, serve as registered nurses (RNs) or licensed practical nurses (LPNs) responsible for providing healthcare to incarcerated individuals in jails, prisons, and detention centers. Their role is critical but frequently misunderstood. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Unlike traditional hospital settings, correctional healthcare combines medicine with security protocols and high-risk environments. Daily responsibilities include: Conducting intake assessments for new detainees Managing chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension Administering medications and monitoring treatment plans Responding to emergencies, injuries, and mental health crises Collaborating with correctional officers and outside specialists The work requires autonomy, critical thinking, psychiatric awareness, and adaptability, often with fewer resources than hospitals provide. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “It's fast-paced, unpredictable, and emotionally intense,” Bulbitz explained. “You're treating patients while constantly aware of safety and security.” She quickly realized the emotional weight of the job extended far beyond clinical care. “You're seeing trauma every single day, addiction, mental illness, violence, despair,” she said. “And you carry those stories home whether you want to or not.” When Compassion Meets Burnout Over time, the cumulative stress began to take a toll. Correctional nurses frequently operate in environments where emergencies can escalate rapidly, and emotional detachment becomes a survival mechanism. For Bulbitz, years of exposure combined with her own unresolved personal trauma created a perfect storm. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “I didn't notice it happening at first,” she said. “You just keep going because that's what nurses do.” Eventually, exhaustion turned into burnout, emotional fatigue that no amount of rest seemed to fix. “I realized I wasn't the same person anymore,” she shared. “The compassion was still there, but I was drained. Completely drained.” After years of service, she made the difficult decision to retire from nursing altogether. “It felt like losing part of my identity,” she admitted. “But I also knew I couldn't keep pouring from an empty cup.” A New Mission Emerges Leaving nursing did not mean leaving service behind. Instead, Bulbitz began transforming her experiences into something new. Today, she works as a life coach specializing in corrections professionals, law enforcement officers, healthcare workers, and first responders, people she believes often carry invisible emotional burdens. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where true crime audiences continue to get their content. A life coach, she explains, differs from a therapist. Rather than diagnosing or treating mental health conditions, coaching focuses on present goals and future growth. “A life coach helps people move forward,” she said. “It's about clarity, accountability, and building strategies to improve life now.” Her coaching approach emphasizes: Goal-oriented planning Actionable strategies for career and personal balance Accountability and motivation Active listening and powerful questioning “Many first responders don't want therapy,” she noted. “But they do want tools to regain control of their lives.” Though life coaching remains an unregulated industry without formal licensing requirements, Bulbitz combines professional experience with specialized training and firsthand understanding of high-stress professions. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. “I've lived the burnout,” she said. “I speak their language.” Sharing the Message Publicly Determined to reach a wider audience, Bulbitz began sharing her story online. Her message quickly gained attention across The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, their facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where professionals related to her honest discussions about stress, trauma exposure, and career transitions. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, is available on their website and platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. She expands conversations through longer-form discussions focused on resilience and personal transformation. “A Nurse speaks,” she often says at the start of her talks, a reminder that her perspective comes from lived experience, not theory. Free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “The goal isn't to relive trauma,” she explained. “It's to learn how to move forward without letting it define you.” Turning Pain Into Purpose Looking back, Bulbitz says her journey has come full circle. The trauma that once pushed her into nursing eventually guided her toward coaching, helping others navigate the emotional realities of service careers. “I thought my nursing career ending was a failure,” she said. “Now I see it was a transition.” Through 3R Strategic Life Coaching, LLC, she now helps professionals rediscover balance, redefine success, and rebuild resilience after years of high-pressure work. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Her message is simple but powerful: “You can care deeply about others without losing yourself,” she said. “But you have to learn how to take care of the caregiver too.” For Bulbitz, the lessons learned behind jail walls continue to shape her mission today, proving that sometimes the hardest chapters of life become the foundation for helping others heal.

Over these nine weeks, three guys who are just going to be lame and finish with over, over - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and negotiating their way through everything that happened on another season with a very interesting backstory now built upon further by Renaissamce, continuing with the sixth episode and elimination of Frits. In this episode - there's some brief Traitors talk, we're all affected by Golden Week, Michael deals with some rudeness, one of us feels very vindicated thanks to comedy, Tim pre-empts the Suspect List, Hadewych has a breakout episode, Logan learns about a song coming to Canada very soon, Frits & Liesbeth play the archery challenge badly, there's a Survivor deep cut, Production gets a BOGOF, William heads to Wal-Mart, we reveal the exact opposite of "Dutch James Bond", the third challenge is straight out of the 1% Club playbook, Frits has a memorable exit, Logan locks in his final pair of suspicions for the season and we have an off-air meeting.

As with our coverage of Seasons 9, 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 9-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though.  This episode is supported by our friends over at Zencastr.

We've had the first monetary policy decision from the new Reserve Bank Governor, and it's not until you get a new captain at the helm that you realise just how little confidence you had left in the previous one. Now, to be fair, it's early days for Anna Breman. We'll judge her by what she does from here on in. But she does start with a clean slate - without us reading too much into her decisions or second-guessing every move because of a poor track record. And that, I'd say, is a very welcome change from just a few weeks ago before she took over. Her assessment is that inflation is fine. Yes, it's a little high right now - 3.1 percent, outside the target band - but it's expected to fall back within the band by this time next year. The economy is improving. The green shoots that were previously limited to certain regions and industries are becoming more widespread. Households are getting more money in their pockets, but they're still cautious - and that's a problem. Because unless they're confident enough to spend, they'll hold back the economic recovery from what it could potentially be. But - and this is probably the bit you've been most interested in, and waiting for - they will start raising the OCR faster than expected. Previously, the Official Cash Rate projection had it going from 2.2 percent in March to 2.3 percent in December. That's now been brought forward: they're forecasting 2.3 percent in June and 2.4 percent in December. The first increase will still most likely be in December, but the chances of it happening in September just increased. It's not a major concern. It's not a major correction. It's not a game-changer for most people. But it does bring the inevitable a little closer. Still - for now - it's nice to have a change at the top, isn't it? And here's hoping this Governor does a better job than the last one. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Super Bowl Sunday during the Winter Olympics, Alyssa and Nadia discuss Lindsey Vonn competing in Olympic downhill days after tearing her ACL—and the crash that got her airlifted off the mountain again. They unpack injury risk, medical autonomy, and what elite athletes model for everyone watching.Nadia explains that Vonn tore her ACL last week, met with her medical team, and chose to race anyway. This morning she fell and was airlifted with a leg fracture. Nadia sees both sides: racing with a torn ACL is risky, but the crash looked like it came from clipping a gate—not purely the knee.Alyssa breaks down the ACL as the “packaging tape” that stabilizes the knee. Some athletes can compensate with strong surrounding muscles, but injury can disrupt proprioception and make the brain “shut off” muscle connection. The ACL might've limited her ability to load the left leg for a key right turn—though ice and countless variables could've been factors too.Nadia points to the pressure around Vonn: six-year retirement, huge comeback expectations, and tests suggesting she could do it. With that status, the medical team may have felt pushed to justify a “yes.” As Nadia puts it, no one could've stopped her—she was going to race.Alyssa connects this to her work with young gymnasts in competition season. Her role is to support goals while clearly assessing and communicating risk, not to override the athlete's choice. If they still want to compete after understanding the risks, she helps them do it as safely as possible.They shift to what athletes model for others. Nadia references Kerri Strug and how often gymnasts compete injured—brave, but sometimes concerning. Alyssa draws the key difference: Strug was a child under coach pressure, while Vonn is an adult making her own call.They close with Nadia's “personal Olympics”: her 12th year in gymnastics at 21. This season is about less stress, more fun, and enjoying leadership on e-board. With new teammates—including her sister—she's reliving milestones through fresh eyes.Happy Galentine's to all the listeners.TakeawaysThe ACL stabilizes the knee; tearing it can change control and confidence under high speed/load.Injury can disrupt proprioception and motor control, sometimes making movement less reliable.Elite athletes face intense external pressure to compete, which can bias decision-making around risk.Clinicians/medical teams must balance protecting health with supporting an athlete's goals.Adults have the right to make their own medical choices and accept calculated risk (“your body, your choice”).The Kerri Strug comparison isn't equal—she was a child under pressure; Vonn is an autonomous adult.In extreme sports, the biggest danger isn't reinjury—it's catastrophic, life-threatening trauma.Chapters0:10–0:48 – Introduction: Super Bowl Sunday and the Winter Olympics0:48–1:23 – Lindsey Vonn's Morning Injury1:23–2:37 – Last Week's ACL Tear and Decision to Compete2:37–4:09 – What Is an ACL?4:09–7:19 – Anatomy Lesson: Ligaments, Muscles, and Proprioception7:19–8:27 – How ACL Tears Happen and the Body's Response8:27–10:13 – Could She Have Avoided the Second Injury10:13–12:03 – The Mechanics of Her Fall: Did the ACL Play a Role?12:03–13:47 – The Pressure to Compete: Olympics and Comeback Stories13:47–15:19 – Working with Young Athletes: The Clinical Parallel15:19–16:39 – The Biggest Fear: Life-Threatening Injury16:39–18:10 – What Athletes Model: The Kerri Strug Comparison18:10–19:25 – Your Body, your Choice: Medical Autonomy19:25–20:10 – Hoping for Vonn's Recovery20:10–21:09 – Nadia's "Personal Olympics": Gymnastics Season Starts21:09–22:42 – What Makes It Fun: Team, Leadership, and Rewriting the Story22:42–23:49 – Galentine's Plans and Season Well-Wishes

Motherhood is full of moments that make us laugh—sometimes out of pure joy, and sometimes because life feels too ridiculous not to. In this episode of the Gather Moms Podcast, we continue our Bible Moms series by stepping into the story of Sarah, a woman who waited decades for God's promise and laughed when it finally seemed too impossible to believe. Sarah's story (Genesis 12–25) reads like a Netflix drama: unanswered prayers, bad decisions made in desperation, long seasons of waiting, and a plot twist only God could write. As we walk through her journey, we talk honestly about what it means to trust God when your body, your circumstances, and your timeline all seem to tell a different story. In Genesis 18, Sarah laughs when she overhears God promise she'll have a son in her old age. But her laughter isn't mockery—it's the laughter of exhaustion, disappointment, and guarded hope. Years later, when Isaac is finally born, Sarah laughs again—this time with joy, marveling at what God has done and inviting others to laugh with her. This episode is an invitation for moms to read Scripture with compassion instead of judgment, to bring doubts honestly before God, and to trust that nothing is too hard for the Lord. Whether you're waiting on a promise, feeling worn out, or wondering if it's too late for God to work—Sarah's story reminds us that God is faithful, patient, and always on time. In this episode, we talk about: Why laughter shows up so often in motherhood—and in the Bible How to read Scripture with compassion instead of comparison What Sarah's waiting teaches us about God's timing Why God isn't offended by our doubts or questions How God fulfills His promises, even when we make messy choices The hope that comes from trusting God with what feels impossible Scripture referenced: Genesis 12–25, Genesis 18:9–14, Genesis 21:1–6 Next steps:Join us on Gather Moms Patreon as we read through the book of Luke together during Lent, starting February 18. Our hope is that 2026 becomes the year you fall in love with God's Word in a whole new way.

www.teachhoops.com Tournament week is here, and the biggest mistake coaches make is trying to add more instead of trying to sharpen what already works. In this episode, we walk through how to simplify your world, tighten your rotation, and get crystal clear on the handful of actions and coverages you can trust when the pressure hits. Because in win-or-go-home basketball, your team doesn't need a bigger playbook — they need a clearer one. We also dig into the “margin stuff” that decides most tournament games: rebounding, transition defense, ball security, free throws, and communication. You'll hear practical ways to structure late-week practices so they feel like tournament intensity without running your team into the ground. Quick situational reps. Pressure free throws. End-of-game decision-making. And a simple scouting approach that keeps kids confident instead of overloaded. Finally, we talk about the coach side of tournament prep — your timeout language, halftime adjustments, emotional control, and Plan B thinking when things get weird (because they always do). Your players borrow your calm, so this episode helps you bring the steady, clear leadership that travels in March. Simplify. Sharpen. Compete. Let's get ready. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rodney Roberts was arrested in 1996 in Newark, NJ, after an altercation with a friend. After several days in custody, he found himself charged with the kidnapping and rape of a 17-year-old girl. His court appointed attorney advised him to plead guilty or spend the rest of his life in prison. Rodney had a good job and had recently moved with his young son into a new apartment. Hoping to get back to his son as soon as possible, Rodney pleaded guilty to the crime in exchange for a seven-year sentence. He would end up spending 18 years in custody before DNA evidence excluded him as a perpetrator and he was exonerated and released in 2014.

Rob and Michele Reiner didn't fit the profile of parents who looked the other way. They showed up. They sat in every therapy session. They wrote the checks. They flew to the facilities. They played frisbee with their son's rehab roommate. For more than fifteen years, they did everything the experts told them to do — and when that didn't work, they blamed the experts and tried something else.This episode traces the psychological architecture that two deeply intelligent, deeply loving parents built to survive life with an addicted and increasingly unstable adult son. From the early rehab years where counselors warned them Nick was manipulating them, to the stunning public reversal where Rob told the LA Times they should have been "listening to our son" instead of the professionals, to the schizophrenia diagnosis that reframed every red flag as a symptom instead of a warning — each new framework replaced the last, and each one kept Rob and Michele exactly where they started. In a house. With their son. Hoping the next variable would change the equation.The night before they were found dead, Rob reportedly brought Nick to Conan O'Brien's Christmas party because he and Michele were afraid to leave him alone. Guests described Nick as erratic and unsettling. A loud argument erupted. According to an account shared at the Reiners' memorial, Rob told friends he was "petrified" of his own son. And then he went home.This isn't about hindsight. It's about the mental gymnastics that families of addicts perform every single day to make their reality survivable — and how love, guilt, and hope can become a prison with no exit. Tony Brueski breaks down every turn in the Reiners' thinking, not from the outside looking in, but from inside the logic that made every choice feel like the right one.#RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #ReinerCase #TrueCrime #BeingCharlie #Addiction #Enabling #BrentwoodMurder #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hoping Against Hope: Redefining Control, Trust, and Spiritual Alignment with Dr. Dave In this episode, you'll hear: A fresh perspective on hope and its role in mental health How agency, the power to choose, can transform your outlook Tips for navigating anxiety, trust, and spiritual alignment Mathew and Dr. Dave explore the real meaning of hope, inspired by Cortney's decision to remove "hope" from her vocabulary. Dr. Dave deep dives into hope theory, discussing C.R. Snyder's model of agency and pathways, and the importance of recognizing multiple ways forward, even when life feels uncertain. Together, they reveal how surrendering control, focusing on trust, and embracing spiritual alignment (rather than outcome attachment) can offer calm and resilience amid adversity. Drawing from clinical experience and personal reflection, Dr. Dave shares practical strategies for cultivating agency and reframing hope into effective action even when past trauma or life circumstances make change feel impossible. “Trust feels calm and hope feels a little anxious.” Mathew Blades   To get in touch with our podcast, email INFO@Learnfrompeoplewholivedit.com Visit our Guests: Mathew Blades - MathewBlades.com Dr. Anna Marie Frank - https://drannamarie.com Cortney McDermott - https://www.cortneymcdermott.com Dr. Dave - https://www.drdaveaz.com/ Jill McMahon - Jillmcmahoncounseling.com To grab a copy of our 6-Week Wellness course, which is video-led, visit https://a.co/d/0ihE1vaw If you want to use Streamyard to create a podcast like this, use this link: https://streamyard.com/pal/c/4656111098003456

Only individuals aboard space stations or starships were left to give the end a name – The Quiet Rapture. After decades of decay and crumbling infrastructure, the Consolidation of Iron has made a discovery on a barren moon designated AT-5. An ocean of blood. Hoping to discover desperately needed resources they immediately launch an expedition. A submarine is crafted and a convict is welded inside. Due to the pressure and depth of the ocean the forward viewport has been encased in metal. If successful, they will earn their freedom. If not, another will follow. This will be the 13th expedition.

John Ross talks to Lee Moore about his book, China's Backstory: The History Beijing Doesn't Want You to Read (2025, Unsung Voices Books). The book looks at the four important China-related stories that often make headlines: Taiwan, Xinjiang, the Chinese economy, and Hong Kong. In this conversation, Lee and John focus mainly on the history of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, but also cover a wide range of other topics. Hoping to reach a broad audience, Lee took an unusual approach to writing China's Backstory; although a scholar, he uses colloquial translations of Chinese texts, peppers his paragraphs with colorful language, and generally has a lot of fun. The approach is sure to generate controversy. The book is factually sound, however (it comes with endnotes), and has numerous literary references, as we would expect from the host of the long-running Chinese Literature Podcast.Lee Moore's book: China's Backstory: The History Beijing Doesn't Want You to Read (2025, Unsung Voices Books).Lee's podcast: Chinese Literature Podcast Lee Moore's book recommendationsHe went with three books on China which he describes as “old school scholarship” and ones that most BOA listeners will likely not have read.  1.

  When Daniel wrote that he had a new mix based around silence I knew it would be good. Then I saw the tracklist and I knew it would be great. He includes cuts from some of my favorite artists - Halftribe, Innesti, Sonmi451, Loscil, and A Produce. The A Produce track is one of my favorite ambienbt tracks of all time. Here's what Daniel says about his new mix: Claude Debussy once wrote: “The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between them”, suggesting that music's emotional impact, beauty, and expression come from the pauses and spacing between sounds.  The first thing I think of is Eno's classic Music for Airports - man did I fall in love with that album.  Roach's Dream Circle comes to mind - low and slow - the music just seems to breathe.  Of course you have the steady state drone stuff from Grassow and friends, which I like - but there is no real structure - that's the point I guess.  I tried to pick work for this mix that had at least a bit of melody, but plenty of silence to define the notes.  There is a sweet spot that when achieved sends me at least into a deep peaceful space.  I'm thinking we all need to spend some time in that space these days to recharge and nurture our sanity.  Hoping this mix might help with that my friends.  Thanks, Daniel, for another excellent mix.

What happens when a supplement company built on pharmaceutical-grade testing standards gets raided by federal agents? In Part 1 of our two-part series with Nootropics Depot, founder Paul Eftang and Director of Business Development Matt Harrier take us through their origin story, the harrowing 2021 FDA raid that changed everything, and why regulatory inconsistencies leave consumers more vulnerable than protected. Paul started on Reddit’s r/Nootropics community, calling out mislabeled supplements that sent people to hospitals. When donations to test products revealed widespread fraud across the industry, he founded Ceretropic (later acquiring Nootropics Depot) to prove quality control was possible. Matt was part of the original Nootropics Depot team, and they united by their shared priority: making sure what’s on the label is actually in the bottle. But their commitment to transparency and pharmaceutical-grade testing made them a target. In 2021, while Paul was out of the office, armed agents raided their facilities — not for safety violations, but for technical regulatory interpretations around compounds like racetams. The agents complimented their equipment and testing standards even as they seized products. Two years and significant legal costs later, a deferred prosecution agreement required destroying inventory and paying fines, but no criminal charges stuck. This episode reveals uncomfortable truths about FDA enforcement: selective raids while warning letters go to others, funding through civil asset forfeiture, and regulatory ambiguity that punishes good actors while bad actors continue unchallenged. It’s the backstory that shaped why Nootropics Depot now operates pharmaceutical-grade supplement testing lab that most supplement brands wouldn’t even recognize.

Wednesday overnight trip. After a lot of thought I decided to try to do a Wednesday overnight trip. The point is to save time coming home Wednesday night then leaving Thursday morning. Hoping to save 8 hours of driving. This will allow me to go further and explore other casinos as well. I was able to go to five different casinos today. Many of them hours apart.

The Bible, God's holy book, tells us the story of Abraham and Sarah. They wanted, more than anything, to have a baby. God promised them that they would have a child—not only that, but they would be the mother and father of a whole nation! But decades passed, and continuing to hope in that? It started to feel ridiculous. Yet, God had not forgotten them. Against all odds, months later, she held that baby boy. The impossible had happened. God had kept His promise. Maybe you've been waiting too. Sometimes it may feel like God is silent, but He is never absent. God is still near. The same God who brought life to Sarah's barren womb can bring hope into your situation as well. Your story isn't over. God's promises do not expire. Choose today to put your trust in Him. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Genesis 21:1 "Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise."

John Piper examines God's sovereignty in tragedy through the lens of a 2001 incident where a Peruvian Air Force plane shot down a missionary aircraft, killing Veronica Bowers and her 7-month-old daughter Charity. Piper confronts the difficult theological question of how to affirm God's meticulous providence when innocent lives are lost in service to Christ. True hope in God's providence means trusting His sovereignty even when we cannot explain why He permits tragedy, and recognizing that many who follow Christ internationally will face suffering. The call of missions is beautiful but comes with a real and sometimes devastating cost. Examine your theology of God's providence—can you trust Him when His plan permits loss and suffering? Topics: God's providence, Suffering, Missions, Tragedy, Faith in hardship Scripture: James 4; Ephesians 1:11

In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor Barreca sits down with Caleb Hennigan to share a story about saying yes to God before having any idea what that yes would actually require.Less than a year after becoming Catholic, Caleb packed up his life, boarded a plane to Florida, and arrived at FOCUS new staff training with more excitement than clarity. He barely knew the prayers, didn't know many people, and quietly wondered if he belonged at all.Hoping to find his place and prove himself, Caleb stepped onto the soccer field during training — and moments later walked off with a serious knee injury that left him on crutches, in pain, and wrestling with doubt.What followed were weeks of discomfort, unexpected friendship, and people praying for healing when nothing seemed to change — until a silent retreat, a simple prayer, and a moment that would redefine how Caleb understood God's presence in his life.In This Episode You'll Hear:

Confederate General Jubal Early marched on Washington, D.C., hoping to free prisoners, but was delayed by Union resistance at Monocacy. Although Early reached Fort Stevens, where President Lincoln famously stood under fire, the attack failed partly due to a lack of coordination with Mosby's partisan forces.1865

Are you assuming your expertise should sell itself?   Many consultants feel this way, and this episode will challenge this belief in an important way.   This week on the Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch breaks down consultant culture and how this deeply ingrained mindset quietly sabotages a consultant's ability to earn business. There is a critical difference between being good at what you do and being chosen. When consultants enter sales conversations believing their work should speak for itself, sales often become inconsistent, draining, and frustrating. This episode brings awareness to this pattern and clearly explains what to do instead.   Consultant culture often shows up as thoughts like "If I explain it clearly enough, they'll get it," or "I'm not a salesperson, I'm an educator." While these beliefs may feel aligned with integrity, they are not effective for closing business. Buyers are not hiring based on how much someone knows. They hire when they have clarity about the results they'll receive and confidence that the consultant can guide them there. When sales conversations turn into overexplaining, overeducating, or giving away the solution too early, the balance of power shifts. Instead of positioning themselves as the solution, consultants end up trying to prove their worth, which makes it harder for a buyer to say yes.   In this episode, Nikki walks through the most common self-sabotaging behaviors she sees in consultant culture. These include outlining the full solution before someone has hired you, positioning yourself as just one option instead of the solution, and avoiding the close altogether. Not asking for the business doesn't come across as polite. It creates confusion. When there is no clear close, buyers are left to fill in the blanks, leading to hesitation, ghosting, and stalled conversations. Closing is not about pressure. It is about clarity and making it easier for someone to decide what comes next.   The episode also explores why having a discovery framework is essential. A framework is not a script. It is a structure that allows consultants to lead the conversation, ask strategic questions, uncover what truly matters to the buyer, and present an offer with authority and confidence. Without this structure, sales conversations drift. Consultants find themselves hoping rather than knowing and waiting rather than leading. Hoping is not a sales strategy.   For consultants who feel they are doing everything right but still aren't being chosen, this episode offers a powerful shift in perspective. Expertise absolutely matters, and it matters most after someone hires you. When consultants move out of consultant culture and into intentional, strategic sales conversations, income becomes more consistent, conversations feel easier, and the dynamic shifts from performing for approval to confidently leading the process.

Happy Sunday! Hoping everyone is enjoying their snow day. We have a fresh new Phillies Talk, as Sean Kane and Spencer McKercher chat with Phillies starting pitcher, Jesús Luzardo to discuss an array of topics ahead of 2026 Spring Training.

THE SPANISH MATCH AND THE PATH TO WAR Colleague Jonathan Healey. In 1623, Prince Charles and the Duke of Buckingham travel to Madrid in disguise to secure a marriage with the Spanish Infanta, hoping her dowry will solve royal financial issues. This "Spanish Match" is deeply unpopular in England due to religious tensions and the ongoing continental war involving James's son-in-law. The diplomatic mission fails, leading to public celebrations in England. Upon their return, Charles and Buckingham push the aging James I toward war. James dies in 1625, leaving Charles I to face immediate debt and friction with Parliament. NUMBER 21689 CHARLES II AND JANE LANE

THE BATTLE FOR NEW YORK AND THE STANDING MIRACLE Colleague Joseph Ellis. Washington moved the army to New York to uphold civilian control, despite the location being militarily indefensible. Ellis notes that the Howe brothers, hoping to negotiate peace, hesitated to destroy the Continental Army. Washington realized that reliance on militia was a delusion and a disciplined army was necessary for a protracted war. The army's escape from Long Islandacross the East River was a "standing miracle" that saved the revolution from annihilation. NUMBER 41807
