After a stint in the Navy and forty years teaching history, Larry Kidder was curios about the lives of ordinary people in Hunterdon County, New Jersey.  He could not find a good book on the subject, so he started writing , and how he has told stories of the Revolution from the vantage point of New Jersey's militia. On Christmas Eve he joins us to share the epic story of General Washington crossing the Delaware, and  introduces us to the Revolutionary World of Jacob Francis, a Free Black man from New Jersey who, as a "Massachusetts" soldier, participated inn the crossing.  Larry Kidder tells us of Jacob Francis and other stories from New Jersey in the Revolution's ten crucial days--from the Delaware crossing to the Battle of Princeton. Tell us what you think!

Have you struggled in your past with fat loss?   If you're like me, then you've gone through this multiple times, each time, thinking that it would be different the next go around.   Silly if you think about it.  Nothing magically changed within our body just because we wanted it to.   I am giving a live seminar this week here in Hunterdon County, NJ and one of the main points I am going to drive home is to recognize the mistakes you've made in your fat loss efforts so you stop making them and actually start doing what works.   I have always said that any diet must be functional and sustainable for long term compliance.   I can assure you that if you have made any of these following mistakes, it is neither functional nor sustainable, and this is just for starters: ♻️ You count your calories...don't worry, I made this same stupid mistake for over a decade! ♻️ You do endless 'junk cardio' trying to burn fat off your body...sorry, it doesn't quite work that way ♻️ You ignore the critical signals your digestion is telling you which will tell you if you are on the right track or not ♻️ You aren't paying attention to something known as N.E.A.T, which is a clear indicator if what you are doing will burn fat and be sustainable ♻️ You aren't strength training...this isn't 100% essential, but I'd say 95% if you want to reach the upper limits of fat burning and weight loss Take a listen and let me know what you think.   And if you want to know how to correct all this and get on the world's most sustainable fat loss program, then check out what I am cooking up for you in next week's Super Secret Webinar on my Panda Diet: https://www.pandamasterclass.com/webinar-registration Be Unconvnetional,  Kyle aka Panda Man

Public administrators face decisions every day – some large, some small – and research and theory-building try to help explore the decision-making process. The historical context of a decision – usually based on previous decisions – is often an overlooked variable. These precedents and antecedents can be one of the major reasons a policy succeeds - or fails. On this episode of the VU iMPAct podcast, The Effects of Past Policy Decisions on Current Policy Choices, our moderator Dr. Adam Kuczynski will explore this potential missing piece from three angles with three professionals that exhibit the passion of public service: from the academic viewpoint of the importance and value of historical context in decisions; from the viewpoint of a decision-maker within a nonprofit organization; and from the individual viewpoint from someone who worked in the federal and local governments. Meet Our Panelists Kenaya Camacho has dedicated a large portion of her life exploring the effect of the past's decisions on current cultural issues. She holds a BA in Anthropology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, a Master's in Egyptology from the American University in Cairo, a Master's in Museum Studies from John Hopkins University, and a Master's in Digital Curation from John Hopkins University. She is also currently a JD Candidate pursuing her law degree. Ms. Camacho currently works in the private sector with a firm that deals with low-income housing tax credits and affordable housing. Mike De Sapio has held practically every position within the nonprofit sector. He is the current President of the Italian American Heritage Foundation of Hunterdon County, NJ; board member of the Italian American Baseball Foundation; board member of the Italian Enclaves Historical Society; past President of the local chapter of Lions Club International; past board member of Meals on Wheels of Hunterdon County; and has assisted numerous local charities in obtaining 501(c)(3) status. Sharon Gutkowski has served in various government agencies in various roles, such as an opto-mechanical engineer at NASA and a public middle school math and science teacher. She holds a double major in Physics and Philosophy, a Master's in Theology with a concentration in Biblical Studies, a second Master's in Theology; and is currently pursuing her PhD in Theology – specializing in Biblical Interpretation and Christian Ethics.

New Jersey prosecutors have filed charges against three correctional police officers for beating female prisoners the night of Jan. 11 at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women. Officials said the late-night attacks at the prison in Hunterdon County left the victims with scratches, concussions, and at least one orbital fracture. According to Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, corrections officers had organized into “extraction teams” to remove prisoners from their cells. Per state policy, prisoners are supposed to be given the chance to leave their cells freely, and if they don’t, corrections officers are only permitted to use as much force as is necessary to remove them. That was not what happened, Grewal said during a Thursday afternoon virtual press conference to announce the charges. One woman put her hands through the food port in her cell door and was hand-cuffed, but officers still beat her. A second woman did not exit her cell voluntarily, but prosecutors allege that
