Two lifts, one corridor, zero patience—sound familiar? In this episode, watch a superintendent turn a brewing standoff into smooth flow with a simple, repeatable play: a 2-minute F-I-O-D huddle (Facts, Interests, Options, Decide), a one-page Corridor Rules board, a tongue-in-cheek “Peace Line” down the floor, and a 10-Foot Talk that certifies areas truly ready. You'll leave with field scripts, sketches, and tiny interface compacts that cut RFIs, protect schedules, and keep crews working—not arguing. If you're a foreman, super, or craft lead who deals with crowded spaces and tight windows, this is your toolkit for less heat and more handoff. #BeNEXT

Solmaz Khorsand in conversation with Ali Fathollah-Nejad & Azadeh KianINSIDE IRAN - REGIME RESILIENCE AND THE STRUGGLE FOR CHANGEThere is a saying among Iranians. ‚There will always be a market for Iran experts.‘ And they are right. Since the revolution in 1979 and the Islamist takeover, the world has been captivated and frightened by the (wannabe) regional hegemon whose rulers have suppressed the population, particularly women and minorities, funded terrorist groups in the region, and toyed with the nuclear threat of becoming a nuclear power. Since 13 June, when Israel attacked Iranian soil and the 12-day war that followed, a fragile ceasefire has been in place. Commentators around the world foresee the next round coming soon and expect it to be more brutal and lethal than the first.How stable is the Islamic Republic's regime? What would happen if the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, were to die? Can Iran's democracy movement, which has survived for the past 46 years, gain momentum and lead the country towards a free and democratic future? A feminist revolution on the horizon as it was called for during the „Woman, life, freedom“ protests after the death of Mahsa Jina Amini in 2022?To discuss these issues, renowned experts Azadeh Kian and Ali Fathollah-Nejad will join journalist Solmaz Khorsand for a conversation that will provide insight into the inner workings of the Iranian regime, the mistakes of the West, and the long history of Iranian resistance.Solmaz Khorsand, Independent journalist and podcaster; fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM)Ali Fathollah-Nejad, German-Iranian political scientist, Director of the Center for Middle East and Global Order (CMEG), and author of most recently Iran – How the West Betrayed its Values and Interests (in German) (Berlin: Aufbau).Azadeh Kian, Iranian-French academic, Professor of Sociology, director of the Social Sciences department and director of the Center for Gender and Feminist Studies at the University Paris Cité

It's Wednesday, September 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslims in Congo killed 26 Christians at funeral Islamic extremists killed 26 Christians who were attending a funeral last Monday in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These attacks continued for two more days. Rev. Mbula Samaki told Open Doors, “The casualty as of now stands at more than 70 Christians killed, at least 100 kidnapped, 16 houses, eight motorbikes and two vehicles burnt. It is horrible.” Islamic extremists are continuing to target churches in the Christian-majority country to displace Christian communities.   Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Congo. The central African nation is ranked 35th on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Canadian court affirms Christian soldier who refused COVID shot In Canada, a federal labor board ruled in favor of a Christian military member who refused a COVID-19 shot on religious grounds.  Canada's Department of National Defense denied Marvin Castillo a religious exemption from the COVID shot. He was subsequently fired from his job in 2021.  In a landmark decision, Canada's Public Sector Labor Relations and Employment Board ruled against the Department of National Defense. The decision stated, “[Castillo] was entitled to an exemption because he has a sincere religious belief that he should not receive the vaccine.”  Castillo referenced 1 Corinthians 6:19 to defend the decision he made about what to put into his body. The verse says, “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” Trump targets another Venezuelan narco-terrorist boat The United States military targeted another drug boat from Venezuela on Monday. The strike killed three people on board the vessel. On Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote, “The Strike occurred while these confirmed narco-terrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics headed to the U.S. (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests.” The United States carried out a similar strike on a boat carrying drugs from Venezuela two weeks ago. Court greenlights Trump defunding Planned Parenthood Last Thursday, a federal appeals court ruled that the Trump administration can defund Planned Parenthood. The case involves a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act which barred Medicaid funds from going to abortion mills. A district court blocked the provision back in July. The latest ruling overturns that preliminary injunction.   Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, commented, “Planned Parenthood is quickly running out of friends in high and dark places, and we praise God for it. Over 40 Planned Parenthoods have already closed – we expect that number to grow over the coming weeks, and we'll celebrate every one.” Gen Z men support Trump; Gen Z women supported Kamala NBC News released a new poll on U.S. adults ages 18 to 29. The survey found Gen Z men who voted for President Trump said having children was the most important indicator of success. Being married was also a top indictor. Meanwhile, Gen Z women who voted for Kamala Harris listed being married and having children near the bottom of their indicators of success. Instead, career fulfillment and having plenty of money were the most important. Young men who backed Harris and young women who backed President Trump similarly prioritized money and career over children and family. Kirk's killer: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it.”  Officials in Utah charged Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder yesterday. The 22-year-old is accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk while he was speaking with students at Utah Valley University last Wednesday. Authorities said Robinson left DNA on the trigger of the rifle used to fire the deadly shot. He also left a note for his transgender partner hidden under a keyboard that said, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it.”  Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray announced the charges. He said, “The murder of Charlie Kirk is an American tragedy.” After listing the charges against Robinson, Gray added this.f GRAY: “I am filing a notice of intent to seek the death penalty.” Waves of people returned to church after Charlie Kirk's assassination And finally, Faithwire reports waves of people returned to church over the weekend after the death of Charlie Kirk. Kirk was an outspoken Christian. He told Deseret News earlier this year that his goal was to point people “toward ultimate purposes and toward getting back to the church, getting back to faith.” Hundreds of people posted about their return to church over the weekend after being inspired by Kirk's faith. Listen to the testimony of one young mother of three about the decision that she and her husband made. YOUNG MOTHER: “After the events of the last week, Devin and I had a lot of talking about the type of life that we want for ourselves and how we want our boys to be. We talked about Charlie Kirk. We talked about a man of God who was not afraid to stand in his convictions in anything. “We are raising three boys that will one day be men, and we want those boys to be as strong in their convictions as Charlie Kirk was. And we realized we had been doing a great disservice by not taking them to church and introducing them to faith up until this point. It is because of Charlie Kirk that we went to church today.” Isaiah 55:6-7 says, “Seek the LORD while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him. Let them turn to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 17th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

My guest today is Greg Reid, President and Senior Portfolio Manager of Real Assets at Westwood Holdings, a publicly held investment firm with over $18b in assets under management. For most of his thirty year career, Greg has led energy infrastructure businesses. And as you'll hear from his accent and style, Greg is the consummate Texas oil and gas man. This is a fascinating time for traditional energy investment. Post-financial crisis, energy investment was a place of capital excess. Soon enough the boom busted and many institutional investors found ESG religion and fully halted allocations. Traditional energy was left for dead. After ten years in the investment desert, many of the remaining institutional investors are throwing in the towel and selling what they have left. The surviving energy companies tend to be lean, capital efficient and valued appropriately. This disconnect between the supply of high quality, energy assets and the weak demand from capital providers provides an attractive landscape, particularly in secondary markets. As our go-to Texas energy expert, Greg is the perfect guest for this conversation.  This podcast was recorded on August 28, 2025.  The respective opinions expressed are those of Mr. Reid and Biltmore Family Office, LLC..  The opinions referenced are as of the date of this podcast and are subject to change without notice.  This material is for informational use only and should not be considered investment advice.

A Note from JamesI've been on and off writing. From 2004 to 2021, I wrote one to two books a year, without fail. Since then, nothing. But I've been working on an idea: obsession. When I'm not obsessed, I can't do much—sometimes not even the basics. But when I am obsessed, I can turn that energy into real outcomes: a business, a book, a skill, sometimes success, sometimes failure.This episode comes from a recent conversation I had with the Ventura Labs team. We talked about obsession, but also about AI, crypto, and how those obsessions have led to building TAO Synergies ($TAOX), a public company on Nasdaq. I'd love to hear your thoughts: should I write this as a book? Reach out on Twitter or anywhere.Episode DescriptionJames Altucher joins the Ventura Labs Podcast to explore the link between obsession, creativity, and execution. From contributing to IBM's Deep Blue in the 90s to co-founding TAO Synergies, James shares how obsessions with chess, AI, and crypto have shaped his life and career.The conversation covers the philosophy behind decentralized AI, the rise of treasury strategies, and why writing down ten ideas a day can change everything. This episode isn't about trends—it's about frameworks: how to spot real opportunities, how to build around them, and how to know when obsession is worth pursuing.What You'll LearnWhy obsession can be both a weakness and a superpower—and how to channel it productively.How Bittensor ($TAO) creates decentralized AI opportunities at a fraction of traditional costs.The mechanics of treasury companies and how TAO Synergies is building its playbook.The risks and rewards of subnet investing, and how tokenomics actually drive value.Lessons James learned from failure, from HBO web series experiments to company collapses, and why generating ideas daily can reset your career.Timestamped Chapters02:15 – Introduction02:58 – What is Bittensor06:24 – AI background and Deep Blue09:34 – Chess interest and journey11:46 – $TAOX inspirations and getting TAO-pilled14:09 – TAO Synergies origin story16:57 – Reaching 100M and playbook19:41 – Treasury strategies and validators22:02 – Launching TAO Daily25:51 – Bitcoin adoption and involvement29:32 – Subnet investing and analysis30:59 – Token warnings and TAO demand35:46 – Subnet proposals and increases37:36 – Successful sectors and examples40:04 – Yanez and Metanova43:17 – Decentralization benefits46:13 – AI jobs and countering fears49:34 – Beneficial sectors: AI and stablecoins53:59 – Bryan Johnson documentary55:17 – Starting podcast and interviews57:14 – Interests and obsessions01:00:56 – Daily writing obsession and origins01:03:47 – Confidence and opinions01:07:33 – Company failures and lessons01:10:42 – HBO series and 3AM show01:14:26 – Hesitancy, regrets, pivotal points01:17:38 – Advice on time and experimentsAdditional ResourcesTAO Synergies: @TAOSynergiesTAO Daily (community news hub): taodaily.ioNaval Ravikant – AngelList founder and Bitcoin advocateVentura Labs Podcast (YouTube): @VenturaLabsPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Navigating the complexities of property law can be daunting, especially when it comes to future interests. Imagine inheriting a piece of land, only to find out that your ownership is contingent upon certain conditions. This is where understanding future interests becomes crucial.Exploring Future Interests: Future interests in property law refer to the legal rights to property ownership that will begin in the future, rather than immediately. These interests can be created through wills, trusts, or deeds, and they often involve conditions that must be met for the interest to become possessory.Types of Future Interests:Reversion: This occurs when the original owner retains the right to regain possession of the property after a temporary estate ends. Remainder: This is a future interest given to a third party, which becomes possessory when a life estate or term of years ends. Executory Interest: This is a future interest that cuts short a preceding estate before it would naturally terminate.Why It Matters: Understanding future interests is essential for estate planning and property transactions. It ensures that property is distributed according to the owner's wishes and can prevent legal disputes among heirs or beneficiaries.Future interests in property law are a vital component of estate planning and property management. By grasping these concepts, individuals can make informed decisions about their property and ensure their legacy is preserved.TakeawaysFuture interests can feel overwhelming for law students.Understanding property as a bundle of sticks is crucial.Future interests are not just hopes; they are legal rights.Reversions are vested and automatically return to the grantor.Possibility of reverter leads to automatic termination of the estate.Right of entry requires affirmative action to terminate the estate.Remainders wait for the prior estate to end naturally.Executory interests cut short prior interests and are disruptive.The rule against perpetuities prevents indefinite control over property.Understanding these concepts is essential for effective estate planning.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest in property law and estate planning by subscribing.Property Law, Future Interests, Reversions, Remainders, Rule Against Perpetuities, Legal Education, Law Students, Property Rights, Estate Planning, Legal Concepts

In Episode 12 of Season 2, Gretchen Morgan, Managing Partner at the Center for Innovation in Education, shares her insights from decades of work across classrooms, state agencies, and national education initiatives. This episode explores the current challenges facing public education, the historic roots of standardized testing, and the widening debate over the value of public assets in American society.Gretchen unpacks the concept of systemic symmetry: the idea that everything from curriculum to teacher support must align with how we expect learning to happen. She critiques the rise of national voucher programs and the potential erosion of public education as a shared societal investment, pointing to how privatization can reinforce social and racial inequities rather than solve them.Despite the weight of these issues, the conversation remains grounded in possibility. Gretchen shares stories of hope from initiatives like Colorado's Homegrown Talent Initiative and local coalition-building in places like Kentucky, Mississippi, and Vermont. She highlights how community-driven processes, when rooted in inclusion, empathy, co-creation, and reciprocity, can rebuild trust between schools and the communities they serve.Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how public education reflects broader societal values and how intentional, human-centered change is both necessary and possible. This episode is essential for educators, parents, policymakers, and anyone invested in the future of equitable, responsive learning environments.Guest Information:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretchen-morgan-0145634/References:Center for Innovation in Education (CIE) – https://www.innovationed.orgHomegrown Talent Initiative (HTI) – Led by Colorado Succeeds and the Colorado Education Initiative (CEI)CareerWise Colorado – Youth apprenticeship systemDon't forget to subscribe and leave a review if you enjoyed this episode.Credits and Acknowledgements:Hosted, Produced, and Edited by Heather Pridemore. https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-pridemore-mba/Thank you for tuning into small acts of rebellion.

Life estates are a unique and often misunderstood aspect of property law. Imagine owning a home for your lifetime, with the assurance that it will pass to a designated person upon your passing. This is the essence of a life estate, a legal arrangement that offers both security and flexibility.Understanding Life Estates: A life estate grants an individual, known as the life tenant, the right to use and benefit from a property during their lifetime. Upon their death, the property automatically transfers to another person, known as the remainderman. This arrangement can be beneficial for estate planning, allowing for the seamless transfer of property without the need for probate.Variations of Life Estates: Life estates can vary significantly based on the terms set forth in the deed. Some may allow the life tenant to sell or mortgage the property, while others may restrict such actions. Additionally, life estates can be tailored to include multiple life tenants or remaindermen, offering a customizable approach to property management.Conclusion: Understanding the nuances of life estates is crucial for anyone involved in estate planning or property management. By exploring the variations and benefits of life estates, individuals can make informed decisions that align with their long-term goals.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest in property law and estate planning by subscribing today!property law, life estates, future interests, remainders, reversions, vested remainders, contingent remainders, defeasible fees, legal concepts, exam strategies

Chile holds the distinction of being the first South American nation to forge diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China, as well as the first in Latin America to enter into a free trade agreement with China. Despite the nearly 24-hour journey required to travel between the two countries, this considerable distance has not hindered the expanding interactions between them. The presence of various waves of the Chinese diaspora in Chile, while often overlooked, is a real aspect of the country's demographic landscape. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Maria Montt Strabucchi, an Associate Professor at the Institute of History at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Pontifical Catholic University of Chile) and Vice President for International Affairs at the same University, discusses the deepening connections between Chile and China and their implications for the development of China-related studies and education within Chile. Maria Montt Strabucchi served as the alternate director of the “Millennium Nucleus Impacts of China in Latin America (ICLAC)” project, which is supported by the Chilean National Agency for Research and Development. This initiative provides free online courses in Spanish aimed at enhancing understanding of China and has also developed online investment maps to illustrate China's influence in Chile. Her research interests encompass the portrayal of "China" and "Chineseness," as well as the dynamics of Chinese-Latin American relations, particularly in the context of Chile. Her 2023 publication, “Representation of China in Latin American Literature (1987-2016)” (Liverpool University Press), is available as an open-access resource. Julie Yu-Wen Chen is Professor of Chinese Studies at the Department of Cultures at the University of Helsinki (Finland).

Negotiation happens every day in agriculture—whether you're selling used equipment, renewing a land lease, or buying seed. But too often, farmers head into these conversations without a plan. On this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Attia Qureshi, an international negotiation consultant, educator, and farmer's spouse, to learn how her Seven Elements of Effective Negotiation can transform the way you do business.Attia begins by walking us through her framework—Interests, Options, Legitimacy, Communication, Relationship, Alternatives, and Commitment—and shows exactly how each applies to farm life. She shares why Relationship is the most overlooked element in ag negotiations, especially when working with the same buyers, suppliers, or landlords year after year.We explore four common farm negotiation scenarios:Private Sales & One-on-One Deals – Selling used equipment or buying livestock while using tactical empathy, anchoring, and mirroring to reach a fair price.Value-Based Negotiation with Retailers – Moving the conversation from “lowest cost” to “best value” when working with seed and input suppliers.Volume & Group Negotiation – Harnessing collective buying power without falling into the trap of misaligned goals.Land Lease Agreements – Approaching tough talks in the fall, preserving relationships with absentee or long-time landlords, and handling “I've had a higher offer” moments without damaging trust.Throughout the conversation, Attia blends professional insights with personal stories from life on the farm. She offers practical tips on reading non-verbal cues, understanding the power of timing, and defusing tension in high-stakes discussions.We wrap up with Attia's lightning-round favorites, from her go-to negotiation book to the biggest myth about negotiation. Whether you're preparing for lease renegotiation season or just want to feel more confident in daily farm conversations, this episode delivers strategies you can put to work immediately.

Over the past decade, schools increasingly have become a battleground for political fights and culture wars that distract from student learning. But, according to a new book, these political fights and culture wars are just one aspect of a much larger and more longstanding problem: schooling is often shaped by the interests of adults.

Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913-2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao's death. He led the Party's United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party's crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping's father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP--and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it.
