A government watchdog found that the Department of Defense's Transportation Command did not have sufficient and comprehensive data about its Global Household Goods contract, which was canceled in June. The Government Accountability Office found that TRANSCOM officials were aware of the contractor's capability constraints, but had limited information and could not verify whether the company could handle the volume of moves. The watchdog also said the Defense Department did not gather or track comprehensive feedback from service members going through military moves, which limited contractor performance assessment. In addition, TRANSCOM did not have full information regarding costs associated with the contract transition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The personal nature of domestic labor, and its location in the privacy of the employer's home, means that domestic workers have long struggled for equitable and consistent labor rights. The dominant discourse regards the home as separate from work, so envisioning what its legal regulation would look like is remarkably challenging. In Bringing Law Home: Gender, Race, and Household Labor Rights (Stanford University Press, 2025), Dr. Katherine Eva Maich offers a uniquely comparative and historical study of labor struggles for domestic workers in New York City and Lima, Peru. She argues that if the home is to be a place of work then it must also be captured in the legal infrastructures that regulate work. Yet, even progressive labor laws for domestic workers in each city are stifled by historically entrenched patterns of gendered racialization and labor informality. Peruvian law extends to household workers only half of the labor protections afforded to other occupations. In New York City, the law grants negligible protections and deliberately eschews language around immigration. Dr. Maich finds that coloniality is deeply embedded in contemporary relations of service, revealing important distinctions in how we understand power, domination, and inequality in the home and the workplace. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens Senior Deduction 2025 Episode 67: In this episode, Timalyn continues the discussion begun in Episode 64 about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Timalyn opens up the episode with a reminder of what the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is. There is a video version of this episode! You can watch it here : Senior Deduction Video Today, she's explaining the enhanced senior deduction for taxpayers who are 65 and older. This deduction will be available for tax years 2025 - 2028. If there is any part of this new tax law that you'd like to hear her cover, please let us know. What is the standard deduction for 2025? The standard deduction is an amount that the IRS allows taxpayers to deduct from their taxable income. For 2025 the standard deductions are: $15,750 for taxpayers filing as single or married filing separately $31,500 for married filing jointly taxpayers $23,625 for those taxpayers filing as head of household It is an additional $6,000 deduction for each qualifying taxpayer. So if a couple married filing jointly is in their 70s, they are eligible to deduct an additional $12,000 from their taxes if they meet other criteria. Seniors already get to deduct an additional $1,600 for those Married filing separately and jointly, and $2,000 for those filing as Single or Head of Household. The $6,000 is in addition to this. The senior deduction is also available whether the taxpayers itemize or use the standard deduction. If the taxpayer is not married filing jointly, the deduction begins phasing out when their modified adjusted gross income reaches $75,000. This doubles to $300,000 for taxpayers who are married filing jointly. The IRS has yet to give more guidance on this. To stay up to date with these changes, Timalyn lets listeners know that Tax Tips with Timalyn will be coming back. There will be different paid versions to subscribe to relevant information for individual taxpayers and business taxpayers. No Tax on Social Security Benefits A proposal was made during President Trump's last campaign that there be no tax on Social Security benefits. Social security benefits are still taxable income, but it is based on your provisional income, whether or not you actually pay taxes on the income. Timalyn goes into more detail about this in another episode of the podcast and a video. Both are linked down below for your convenience, as well as a playlist with other relevant information for retired taxpayers. Is My Social Security Taxable?

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____From the outside, you look like you've got it all together. But inside? You're drowning in the endless mental load, feeling guilty because you need breaks from your kids, and wondering why other moms seem to breeze through daily routines that leave you completely drained.Amy Marie Hann was diagnosed with ADHD at just five years old in the mid-1980s—making her what she calls an "ADHD unicorn." She was the straight-A student taking medication alongside the little boys in the nurse's office, the one who followed all the rules and excelled academically. But when she became a mom to three neurodivergent kids, everything fell apart.Amy is the author of Master the Mundane, a practical guide for ADHD moms juggling life, home, and family. In this conversation, Amy and Tracy explore how early diagnosis shaped her identity, why traditional parenting advice fails ADHD families, and what it really means to "master the mundane" when your brain craves novelty. Amy shares her game-changing approach to limiting taxing tasks, why she gave herself permission to be bored by the boring things, and how she learned to model self-acceptance for her three ADHD kids.Resources:Website: www.amymariehann.com Website: www.amymariehann.com/mtmbooklaunch Instagram: @amymariehannSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next?

Grandson of Mary Boleyn. Cousin to Elizabeth I. Patron to Shakespeare's company. On 8 September 1603, George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon, died, leaving a legacy that runs from court politics to the playhouse. Some even whispered he was Henry VIII's grandson. Rumour or not, Carey stood right behind the stage that gave us Hamlet, Henry V and more. I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway. In today's “On This Day,” meet the steady court insider who helped shape the English Renaissance, from border forts and the Isle of Wight to the Lord Chamberlain's Men. What you'll learn: Carey's Boleyn roots & royal connections Missions to Scotland and a knighthood at Berwick (1570) Roles that kept him close to Elizabeth I (Marshal of the Household, JP, Constable of Bamburgh, Captain of the Isle of Wight) How he supported the fleet during the Spanish Armada Why becoming Lord Chamberlain (1596) mattered to Shakespeare's troupe Honours (KG, Privy Council) and his late-life legacy under James I The enduring rumour about Tudor blood in the Carey line If you enjoyed this, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell for daily Tudor stories.

Leave a Review to help our audience grow!--September 7, 2025 -- Pr. John Alwood -- "The Upside-Down Household!" -- Philemon1 From Paul, who is a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and our brother Timothy. To our dear coworker Philemon, 2 our sister Apphia, our fellow soldier Archippus, and the church that meets in your house. 3 Good will [a] and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ are yours! 4 Philemon, I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers because 5 I hear about your faithfulness to the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God's people. 6 As you share the faith you have in common with others, I pray that you may come to have a complete knowledge of every blessing we have in Christ. 7 Your love ⌞for God's people⌟ gives me a lot of joy and encouragement. You, brother, have comforted God's people. 8 Christ makes me bold enough to order you to do the right thing. 9 However, I would prefer to make an appeal on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an old man and now a prisoner for Christ Jesus, 10 appeal to you for my child Onesimus [Useful]. I became his spiritual father here in prison. 11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is very useful to both of us. 12 I am sending him back to you. This is like sending you a part of myself. 13 I wanted to keep him here with me. Then he could have served me in your place while I am in prison for spreading the Good News. 14 Yet, I didn't want to do anything without your consent. I want you to do this favor for me out of your own free will without feeling forced to do it. 15 Maybe Onesimus was gone for a while so that you could have him back forever— 16 no longer as a slave but better than a slave—as a dear brother. He is especially dear to me, but even more so to you, both as a person and as a Christian. 17 If you think of me as your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19 I, Paul, promise to pay it back. I'm writing this with my own hand. I won't even mention that you owe me your life. 20 So, because we're brothers in the Lord, do something for me. Give me some comfort because of Christ. 21 I am confident as I write to you that you will do this. And I know that you will do even more than I ask.http://www.bethanylutheran.orghttp://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beachwww.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach

Football season is here, and so are the lessons we can borrow from the field to improve our financial game plan. Just like an NFL team can't win without balance, your retirement strategy needs more than one play. In this episode, Jake and Nick draw from the NFL playbook to show how offense, defense, special teams, coaching staff, and even audibles translate into smart money moves. But football isn't just about winning games. It's about adapting, relying on your team, and preparing for the unexpected. That's where retirement planning parallels real life: your goals, your risks, and your “game day” decisions need a plan that adjusts when life throws a surprise blitz. Plus, you'll hear how managing inflation and building safeguards against risk can help keep you moving the ball down the field towards a confident retirement. Here's what we discuss in this episode:

Some things change with the times—but God's financial principles never do. They're not only timeless; they work in every situation, for every person, at every income level.Whether you're barely making ends meet or managing significant wealth, the Bible's wisdom for handling money is always right on target. Today, Ron Blue will unpack five proven principles for managing your money well.Ron Blue is a nationally recognized financial expert, co-founder of Kingdom Advisors, and author of more than 20 books on biblical money management. With decades of experience advising families and leaders, he has dedicated his life to equipping Christians to manage their resources wisely and steward them for God's kingdom purposes.A Lesson From the Senate FloorBack in the early 1990s, Ron Blue was invited to testify before a U.S. Senate subcommittee on family and money matters. When asked what advice he would give American families, his response was simple yet profound:Spend less than you earn.Avoid debt.Build liquidity or margin.Set long-term goals.Give generously.To Ron's surprise, the senator responded, “That would work for every family—at any income level.” Ron smiled and added, “Yes, Senator, including the United States government.”These five principles, he says, are universal. They apply not just to families, but also to businesses, communities, and even nations.Principle 1: Spend Less Than You EarnThis is the foundation of wise financial decision-making.It's the “slow road to wealth,” but it's also the surest way to financial freedom. This principle enables families to establish stability without pursuing risky shortcuts or falling into the trap of trying to become wealthy quickly.Principle 2: Avoid DebtDebt can be both a practical and spiritual burden. From a financial standpoint, debt always mortgages the future. Any borrowed money becomes a priority expense—one that takes precedence over all others until it's repaid.Not all debt is created equal—some can be strategic, like a mortgage—but even “good” debt ties up future income and limits financial flexibility.Principle 3: Build Liquidity (Margin)Margin is what allows families to weather life's inevitable surprises—a medical bill, car repair, or job loss—without spiraling into crisis.People with cash flow margin are always more secure. They know they can meet the unexpected, and that creates peace of mind and security. An emergency fund isn't just about financial stability; it's about emotional and spiritual calm when life throws curveballs.Principle 4: Set Long-Term GoalsShort-term thinking often leads to financial stress and impulsive decisions. By setting long-term goals, families can prioritize spending and align their financial choices with their values.The longer term your perspective, the better your decision today. Goals give direction and help families measure progress—not just in wealth, but in stewardship and Kingdom impact.Principle 5: Give GenerouslyFinally, generosity breaks the power of money. Jesus taught that we cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24). By giving, we release our grip on wealth and keep our hearts anchored in Christ rather than in material security.Generosity is the only way to break money's hold on you.Timeless Wisdom for Every HouseholdWhether you're just starting your financial journey or seeking a reset, these five principles offer a roadmap to freedom and peace. They are not about complicated strategies or quick fixes—they're about faithful, steady stewardship rooted in biblical wisdom. If you do these five things, you'll position yourself for God's best in your finances.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I recently started a new job, but I still have a 401(k) from my previous employer. Since I'm over 55, I was told I can withdraw from it without a penalty. My husband thinks we should withdraw $15,000 to cover some home repairs, but I'm nervous about dipping into my retirement savings.I'm 51 and planning to retire at the end of next year. I have a state pension, along with several 401(k) and 403(b) accounts I've accumulated over the years. What's the best way to handle these accounts once I retire?My husband and I have been married for 12 years, and we have a prenup that keeps our finances separate. I have around $700,000 in savings and a terminal illness. How should I decide how much to leave for my husband and how much to give to the Lord?I've had a reverse mortgage since 2010, and my house has increased significantly in value. I'd like to know how much equity I can access now and whether I need to refinance, or if it's possible to expand my line of credit simply.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)FamilyLife | FamilyLife BlendedWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

It's becoming increasingly common for me to work with therapy practice owners who are the primary breadwinner and/or a female in a hetero relationship. While this shift in dynamics is not only familiar to be, and a positive step towards gender equality, it can also bring its own set of challenges and complexities. Relationships are challenging anyway, but when you add the layer of one person earning the Lionshare of the household income, honest and open communication about responsibilities, expectations, and goals between both partners becomes even more important. Another breadwinning therapist, Maegan Megginson, joins me today to help discuss being the female breadwinner and provide an additional behind-the-scenes perspective on how a couple might navigate a relationship where partners contribute differently. Navigating Roles & Responsibilities in a Relationship Where One Person Earns More (00:03:15) Navigating Unequal Financial Responsibilities in Relationships (00:17:08) Imbalanced Financial Contributions in Romantic Partnerships (00:19:49) Recognizing the Richness of Non-Monetary Contributions (00:30:26) Imbalance in Relationship Responsibilities: Causes and Solutions (00:41:01) Equitable Dynamics in Breadwinning Relationships (00:41:01) Navigating Relationship Dynamics as Breadwinner (00:41:39) Financial Equity and Communication in Relationships (00:41:39) Navigating Financial Management as the Primary Earner Recognizing Non-Monetary Contributions in Relationships Acknowledging both financial and non-financial contributions helps to create a sense of equity and balance in the relationship. It reinforces the idea that each partner's role is valued and important, regardless of who earns more money. Even if one partner is the main breadwinner, it's crucial to share responsibilities in other aspects of the relationship, such as household chores, childcare, and decision-making. This helps to create a sense of equality and balance in the partnership. (00:31:02) "I think when two people have explicitly negotiated, here's who's going to make the money, and here's what the other person's going to be doing. That's healthy, right? That's strong. That's solid." - Maegan Megginson Guiding Your Relationship to Feel More Equitable: Begin having conversations with your partner about financial AND non-financial, much appreciated contributions to the relationship aiming for both partners to feel valued, heard, and respected for their contributions. If you find yourself shouldering the emotional and/or financial burden, acknowledge this imbalance and address it with your partner. Avoid staying in a situation that is draining you. If you've unexpectedly become the breadwinner, view it as an opportunity to learn new financial skills. Take the initiative to educate yourself on managing money effectively for your household. Remember that financial contributions are just one aspect of the relationship. Acknowledge and appreciate all forms of contributions, including non-monetary ones that support the healthy function of your household. Interested in working with Linzy?

On this episode of The Adam and Dr. Drew Show, Adam kicks things off with a surprisingly passionate rant about coasters, calling out Dr. Drew for forgetting to use one. He explains how, growing up, there was no such thing as a cold drink in his house, so coasters were never part of his upbringing. From there, Adam shifts gears to one of his California pet peeves—people who insist on saying “The PCH” instead of just “PCH.”Later, Adam and Dr. Drew turn to heavier subject matter as they react to the recent tragic incident in Minnesota. Dr. Drew provides his expert perspective on the mental health issues tied to such crimes, while Adam weighs in with his own thoughts on the broader societal challenges at play. The two break down the complexities of personal responsibility, prevention, and the cultural landscape that often shapes these tragic outcomes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

My dream for 2026 is to hire something called a household manager, but I honestly knew very little about what that actually meant or how it worked. So naturally, I had to bring on an expert to help me (and you!) figure this whole thing out. Kelly Hubbell, founder of Sage Haus, walked me through everything from what a household manager actually does to the real costs involved. Spoiler alert: it's way more affordable than I thought! If you've ever felt like you need to duplicate yourself, or if you're spending 20+ hours a week just managing one kid's appointments like I did recently, this conversation is going to be a game-changer.Kelly breaks down exactly why this isn't just for wealthy families and how you can start small with just a few hours per week. This is the kind of support that takes over both the mental and physical load that's been weighing you down. I'm actively exploring this for our family, and after this conversation, I think you might be too.In This Episode, I'll Cover:What a household manager actually does and how they differ from cleaners or nanniesReal costs and budget-friendly ways to start with just 6-12 hours per weekHow to navigate partner resistance and privacy concerns when hiring helpThe step-by-step process of finding and vetting the right household managerWhy this solution works for families at every income level and life stageConnect with Kelly + Sage Hausewww.sagehaus.comwww.linkedin.com/in/kellyhubbellwww.instagram.com/mysagehaus_______________

Household names like Vital Proteins, Great Lakes Wellness, and Nordic Naturals wouldn't provide certificates proving their products are free from heavy metals and contaminants. This silence raises questions about what these companies might be hiding. The concern is legitimate because collagen comes from animal bones and connective tissue, where environmental toxins naturally accumulate. While clinical research supports collagen's benefits for skin and joint health, these positive effects mean nothing if the product contains harmful substances. Many consumers assume premium pricing or "grass-fed" labels guarantee safety, but these offer no protection against contamination. Only a small group of companies willingly shared comprehensive testing results. These brands proved transparency is possible in this industry. When choosing supplements you'll consume daily for months, safety documentation should be the minimum expectation, not the exception.
