6. US Military Infrastructure Needs Seek $150 Billion Investment from Private Equity Elizabeth Peek, Fox News and The Hill, with John Batchelor Peek discusses the initiative by the President and his counselor to invite private equity firms to propose creative ideas for funding crucial infrastructure needs estimated at $150 billion.

Das Thema Wechseljahre am Arbeitslatz kann man gar nicht oft genug thematisieren Diesmal mit der Soziologin und Prozessberaterin Sonja Hachenberger, die sich für genau dieses Thema engagiert und vor allem aus verschiedenen Perspektiven dazu etwas sagen kann – einmal als Initiatorin von meno@work bzw Gründerin der gemeinnützigen Initiative the-change.org, und Prozessbegleiterin von Menschen und Unternehmen auch beim Thema Wechseljahre – aber auch als festangestellte Frau in ebendiesem Alter in einem großen Unternehmen. Hört mal rein, denn wir finden, wir haben noch einen guten weiteren Aspekt gefunden, den wir noch nie so richtig im Fokus hatten.Links & Infos:Hier geht's zu Sonja Hachenbergers (LinkedIn) Hier gibt's mehr Infos zu ihrer Initiative the-change.org: das interdisziplinäre Kompetenzzentrum im DACH Raum, das Wechseljahre aus medizinischer, psychologischer, soziologischer und arbeitsweltlicher Perspektive betrachtet.

Unternehmen und Institutionen können sich noch beteiligen. Hier geht's zu den Ergebnissen der Umfrage meno@work (2024, mit kununu): Befragt wurden 1.035 Führungskräfte. Die Ergebnisse zeigen: Nur 7 % der Unternehmen haben bislang konkrete Maßnahmen – obwohl 58 % es wichtig finden, erfahrene Frauen zu halten und zu fördern. Und für 2026 noch was Spanendes! The-change.org entwickelt mit der TH Deggendorf gerade eine Kompaktkur: https://the-change.org/portfolio/kompaktkur/ ein neues Präventionsprogramm für Frauen 40+, das klassische Kurmaßnahmen mit digitalen Elementen verbindet.

We map the data, policy, and funding failures that created the women's health gap and lay out a California-led plan to fix it with research built for women, agile AI governance, and voter-backed capital. The goal: better outcomes, lower costs, and a template to repair healthcare at large.• two percent venture funding and underpowered trials• AI amplifying bias without sex-specific datasets• misdiagnosis, adverse drug reactions, and cost burden• why subgroup analysis must be mandated• ballot initiatives as a research funding engine• learning from California's stem cell model• WHIC's scope: basic science to real‑world translation• agile governance for AI and data privacy• workforce constraints versus knowledge deficits• value‑based care's attribution math problem• women's health as a system-wide blueprint• tangible moonshot: closing the measured gapIf anyone is out there is interested in becoming the part of future healthcare for women in California, we welcome your input. We welcome your views, your time, and your treasure to be part of this campaign that's going to change the course of history for women's health in California, if not the United States.  Please reach out to Bhairavi or Rick on LinkedinThe numbers are brutal: women receive a fraction of research attention, a sliver of venture funding, and face later diagnoses with higher adverse drug reactions—then AI threatens to accelerate the bias baked into that history. We take this on head‑first with Bhairavi Parikh, a serial medtech founder behind the proposed Women's Health Institute of California (WHIC), and Rick Arney, co-author of California's landmark privacy laws and a strategist who knows how to turn public will into policy.We unpack why clinical trials still fail to power for sex differences, how underrepresentation turns into misdiagnosis and higher costs, and what it will take to build datasets and decision tools that actually work for women. From agile AI governance to rigorous privacy protections, we explore how to enable research without sacrificing trust, and why California's ballot initiative model—proven in the state's stem cell program—offers a practical way to fund the missing science and speed real-world translation. Bhairavi Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhairavi-parikh-9732071/Founder of the Women's Health Institute of California (WHIC), a proposed statewide research initiative which we'll be discussing in depth today.  She is also the Founder and CEO of Clarity Health Alliance.  Previously Bhairavi served as COO at Health Rhythms and Wildflower Health.

Free Christening parties are being offered to couples who conceive during their stay at a hotel chain in Poland.There's more – each employee will be paid a bonus of over €2,000 for every child they have.That's an initiative launched by Polish hotel chain Arche and its 73-year-old owner in an effort to boost the country's low birth rates.Poland's fertility rate of 1.2 children per woman in 2023 is among the weakest in the EU, with only Malta, Spain and Lithuania behind it.To discuss, Seán is joined by Raphael Minder, the Financial Times' Central Europe Correspondent.

Deborah Weed doesn't just write stories, she creates movements. A former Director of Development for Citibank and a marketing force for companies like KIA Motors, her life changed dramatically after a devastating misdiagnosis left her bedridden for three years. It was during this time that a simple, yet priceless, 1943 copper penny became a powerful symbol for her: if a seemingly worthless penny could be worth millions, then everyone has hidden value just waiting to be seen.Inspired by this realization, Deborah made it her mission to ignite self-worth through storytelling. She wrote and produced The Luckiest Penny, an award-winning interactive musical, and founded both the Self-Worth Initiative and the Quill Power Movement to empower young girls. Now, she's embarking on her most ambitious project yet: Paisley the Musical.Inspired by her award-winning children's book, Paisley's Last Quill, this new musical is a powerful story about a little porcupine who gives away her protective quills just to fit in. This isn't just a show; it's a movement for anyone who has ever lost their voice or their way and is ready to take it back.For more, visit: https://paisleysfashionforest.com/Send us a textSupport the show Contact me at: postcardstotheuniverse@gmail.com Shout out and follow on IG - @postcardstotheuniverse https://linktr.ee/postcardstotheuniverse Thank you and keep listening for more great shows!

First time guest Jasmine Walls and returning guest Dozerdraws join Jimmy on the podcast to chat about The Last Session vol. 2: Rerolled. The Last Session vol. 1: Roll for Initiative was a fantastic graphic novel and it's great to see this world revisited, even if it's with a new cast of characters. Jasmine and Dozer are incredible creators and collaborators and it's great to hear them talk about the fun, but also the challenges, of this sequel. There were some issues with Jasmine's audio (the joys of podcasting!) so apologies if things seem a little choppy this episode, but this is definitely worth it. From the Publisher: Erika, Jacob, Marcelle and Damien have become popular online personas, each with a huge following on their corner of the internet. The only thing they have in common is that they used to be close friends until they drifted apart in high school, leaving their Dice & Deathtraps game unfinished. Now, four years later, their old game master Amina has reached out with a chance to reunite, save the community center that fostered their creativity, and finally finish their abandoned campaign. They have one night to do it, streaming to a live audience with tensions and old grudges on the rise. Can they mend their fraying friendship or will this last session cut their ties for good?

Citizen Initiative 300 has been a hot topic in the community. The measure, if passed, would require a vote of the electorate for large town projects (those that exceed more than $10 million), rezoning or Planned Unit Development amendments on projects that would cost a third-party more than $20 million, and water service expansions outside the town limits with more than ten new residential taps or one new commercial tap. Hear from members of the community in support and opposition of the measure on how they think Citizen Initiative 300 would impact the community. Each year, we seek to provide listeners and the electorate with comprehensive, timely, and easily accessible information on candidates and the issues up for a vote. Our mission is to prioritize the questions and needs of the public, and be a point of contact between candidates, issues, and our entire community.

Recruiting and retaining great people is one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing today—but what if the solution isn't just about wages or benefits, but about building a culture where people thrive? In this episode of the Machine Shop MBA series, we are joined by guest co-host Jon Franko and special guest Mike Tamasi, CEO of AccuRounds, a former Top Shops award winner for Human Resources.

Campbell holds an MBA from NYU, a BA from the University of Wisconsin, and after nearly 30 years in NYC now lives in the Berkshires with her husband, children and their dog, Tobin. Heather A. Campbell's New Book, Good Is Amazing, challenges the Culture of Overachievement and Champions the Power of Good. What if striving to be “the best” is what's actually holding us back? In a world obsessed with unicorns, GOATs, and relentless self-improvement, Heather A. Campbell delivers a refreshing—and bold—reframe: good is not just enough. Good is amazing.

With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Campbell invites readers to consider a radical idea: What if stopping the chase for perfection and instead embracing good—the joy, simplicity, and genuine satisfaction it brings—is the real secret to success?

Many people feel caught in worry, fear, and constant striving—chasing achievements yet never feeling truly fulfilled. The restless “monkey mind” jumps from one thing to the next, amplifying stress and turning setbacks into heavy burdens. It doesn't have to be that way, though. You can move from mindless tasks to a mindful purpose. The shift begins by setting a clear, heartfelt intention rooted in something bigger. When the focus moves from self-gain to contribution, the right people, resources, and opportunities often begin to flow toward you.  In this episode, Reverend Michael Beckwith, Lynne Twist, Jay Shetty, and I talk about how shifting from fear and self-focus to living with intention, surrender, daily spiritual practices, and a purpose larger than oneself can transform challenges into growth, bring deeper fulfillment, and open unexpected opportunities. For over 30 years now, Reverend Michael Beckwith has embraced a practical approach to spirituality and has helped people see the benefits of meditation, affirmative prayer, and life visioning, a process he originated. He has spoken at the United Nations, hosted conferences featuring some of the top thinkers and leaders in a variety of industries, and he is also the founder of the Global Association for New Thought. He is a teacher, a speaker, and the author of several books. He has shared his insights on a number of well-known television programs, such as Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, Dr. Oz, Larry King Live, CNN, Tavis Smiley, and others. Lynne Twist has spent over 40 years working with more than 100,000 people in 50 countries in the realms of fundraising with integrity, conscious philanthropy, strategic visioning, and cultivating a healthy relationship with money. A renowned author and speaker, she has presented at the United Nations Beijing Women's Conference, State of the World Forum, Synthesis Dialogues with Dalai Lama, and the Governor's Conference on California Women. Recognized as a global visionary, Lynne has advised the Desmond Tutu Foundation and the Nobel Women's Initiative. She co-founded the Pachamama Alliance, a nonprofit empowering Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest to preserve their lands and culture. From serving with Mother Teresa in Calcutta to aiding refugee camps in Ethiopia and protecting the Amazon, her on-the-ground work has given her profound insight into the social fabric of the world and the defining challenges of our time.

PREVIEW: GUEST: Bridget Toomey SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Bridget Toomey of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies about the Houthis, who continue daily attacks against Israel. The UK and Saudi Arabia launched an initiative to support Yemen's Coast Guard to slow Houthi resupply from Iran. Ending the Houthi threat would likely require ground action by Yemeni and Gulf forces, although Israel is attempting air strikes to limit capabilities and target Houthi leadership. The US appears "out of the fight" for the time being. 1926 YEMEN
