This week I'm joined by the wildly well-traveled UK based model, Jade Kitty Dawson: a full-time touring art nude / fashion / alt model who has shot over countless photo sessions across Europe. She and I finally found a moment to connect despite the 7-hour time zone difference between the US and the UK. We talk about the realities of modeling in the UK vs mainland Europe (and why the rates are often lower in the UK), how she strategically chooses where she tours so she can still walk away with profit, and her upcoming major leap: planning her very first tour to Australia, where she'll be flying 22+ hours for a 2–3 week run. What I love about Jade is her willingness to take those big, scary leaps purely in the name of growth - even when she's nervous - because, as she says, “you always regret the chances you didn't take.”   We also dive deep into the beginning of her career — she started doing “site modeling” at just 14, styling, shooting, and editing her own photos as a one-woman creative outlet, which genuinely helped her come out of a dark period of bullying, depression, and anxiety. From there we follow her path into professional modeling, the encouragement she received to try art nude, navigating family reactions, and the harsh lessons she learned about safety while traveling internationally as a freelance model. (She's had to deal with both genuinely kind photographers who lay out a full spread of snacks… AND the rare creeps who prove that even a photographer you've known for years can cross a line.) All in all, this is such a raw, honest, truly global conversation about independence, self-trust, taking risks, and staying safe in a wildly unconventional career.

As a child, riding, tinkering/repairing bicycles were just a few hobbies Mike enjoyed. But the woodworking project is beneficial for so many reasons. Yes it's fun but it truly helps children and adults with distracted minds become more grounded and able to focus.  Children collaborate and help one another, improve their math skills, use their hands, learn to measure and cut wood and so much more. But it was Mike's mother, Linda, who really concentrated on helping Mike with his OCD/ADHD.  He says, "she was very instrumental in trying to keep me active. It was very hard for her to see this disruptive behavior in her own child." Mike agrees that he was dealing with Impulse control negative attention issues.Education was very important to Linda. She completed her PHD when Mike was a teen.  She was determined to help Mike figure out what interested him, what his strengths and attributes were and decided to concentrate on those gifts. Linda's grandfather had been a Rabbi in Ukraine. Her father died when she was in high school and mother had dyslexia and had never learned to read or write, so all of her past, played a major role in her passion for a solid education. She was determined to help her son overcome his educational challenges.Linda got married at 19. In order to become a lab technician, she got her Batchelor's degree in Science and Medical Technology. "To show how important education was to her, she went back to school got her Masters Degree and then  in her 40's got a PHD in "Immigration History." Mike explains, "growing  up Jewish in Minnesota, was very rare. It was very interesting to see these immigration patterns that she lived through and seeing similar patterns repeating again today. Later on LInda started a historical society to study Jewish Immigration in the Upper Midwest.Knowing her son's interests helped Linda come up with the idea for Mike to help her when she was cataloging information from those of her Jewish community who had passed away. Family members had donated diaries and personal information. These tasks were very detail oriented and she knew that was one of her son's many strengths. He created a useful database.Contact Information for Maplewoodshop:Email address:mike@maplewoodshop.comFacebook -@MaplewoodshopNJhttps://www.facebook.com/MaplewoodshopNJ/LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/company/maplewoodshop/Instagram -@maplewoodshophttps://www.instagram.com/maplewoodshop/?hl=enTwitter-@MaplewoodshopNJhttps://twitter.com/MaplewoodshopNJThreads -@maplewoodshophttps://www.threads.net/@maplewoodshopYoutube -@maplewoodshop727https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPIu2juABNjm_2ZoMjrx4wTiktok -@maplewoodshophttps://www.tiktok.com/@maplewoodshophttps://www.maplewoodshop.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of fascinating advancements and strategic movements that are shaping the landscape of drug development and patient care.Starting with a significant milestone in precision oncology, China has approved its first EGFR-targeted antibody-drug conjugate. This approval marks a pivotal moment in the industry's shift towards targeted therapies, which promise more precise treatment options with potentially fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. Targeted therapies are at the forefront of personalized medicine, where treatments are tailored to individual genetic profiles, offering hope for more effective cancer care.In the realm of HIV prevention, Gilead Sciences has reported impressive sales for its new long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis medication, Yetztugo. Since its launch in June 2025, Yetztugo has generated $54 million in U.S. sales, underscoring the demand for long-term HIV prevention solutions. This development is part of Gilead's broader strategy to strengthen its HIV franchise as it advances its pipeline with promising candidates like GS-3242 alongside lenacapavir. The aim is to develop treatments that require less frequent dosing, which could significantly improve patient adherence and outcomes. Despite challenges within its HIV portfolio and declining Veklury sales, Gilead Sciences is actively seeking growth opportunities through strategic partnerships and pipeline advancements—an essential approach for navigating patent cliffs while sustaining long-term growth.On the financial front, AbbVie has increased its revenue forecast by $400 million to a staggering $60.9 billion, driven by robust sales from its immunology drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq. These treatments address chronic inflammatory conditions like psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, reflecting AbbVie's strong positioning in this therapeutic area despite competitive pressures. AbbVie continues to report strong earnings from Skyrizi and Rinvoq, reinforcing its dominance in the immunology market and highlighting the profitable nature of successful biologics in treating chronic inflammatory diseases.Biogen continues to bolster its multiple sclerosis franchise by focusing on both legacy treatments and new product launches. This strategy highlights the importance of balancing innovation with lifecycle management to maintain market strength against generic competition—a common challenge in the industry.Meanwhile, the American Academy of Pediatrics has taken a cautious stance by not endorsing leucovorin for autism treatment due to insufficient evidence. This decision emphasizes the critical need for rigorous, evidence-based practices in developing clinical guidelines for complex disorders like autism.Internationally, CSL Seqirus has partnered with Saudi Arabia to supply cell-based influenza vaccines and support local production capabilities. This move aligns with global efforts to enhance pandemic preparedness and healthcare resilience through local manufacturing initiatives.The volatile nature of the biotech sector is evident with reports of 16 companies ceasing operations in 2025 due to high R&D costs and regulatory challenges. Despite these closures, such volatility opens doors for new innovations that could address unmet medical needs.Turning our attention to obesity treatment, Eli Lilly stands at a crucial juncture with its novel obesity medication, orforglipron. The company aims to make this weight loss pill accessible while maintaining financial viability for future R&D—a balancing act faced by many pharmaceutical companies as they strive to deliver affordable yet innovative treatments amid growing global health concerns. However, not all R&D efforts reach fruition. Eli Lilly has decided to discontinue its mid-stage program Support the show

In this episode, Andreas Bjørndal, an experienced homeopath with more than 45 years in practice, shares his reflections on healing, teaching, and the evolving landscape of homeopathy. He talks about how homeopathy found him through his early fascination with nature and healing, and how this path led him to found multidisciplinary clinics and guide future practitioners in Norway. Andreas explains key ideas such as the concept of polarity in remedies and the importance of understanding the dynamics of healing rather than focusing solely on individual remedies.   Episode Highlights: 06:17 - Journey into Homeopathy 09:14 - Significant Cases and Learnings 13:47 - Reflections on 45 Years of Practice 17:00 - Evolution of Homeopathy Over the Years 21:31 - Understanding Wholeness and Unity 27:03 - Polarity and Healing Processes 31:36 - The Healing Process Begins with Intention 35:12 - Developing a System of Archetypes 39:09 - Understanding Center and Periphery in Remedies 47:35 - Exploring the Depth of Provings 56:13 - Homeopathy and Consciousness 01:09:56 - The Concept of Oneness 01:27:32 - Case Study: Hashimoto's and Hearing Loss 01:38:13 - Visualizing Archetypes and Polarities   About my Guests: Curriculum Vitae Andreas N. Bjørndal   It is difficult to imagine a role in homeopathy, natural medicine, and integrative health that ANB has not held. For more than four decades, he has been at the very center of the profession—locally, nationally, and internationally.   He founded and led two of the most respected multidisciplinary clinics in Oslo, bringing together more than 20 practitioners across traditional, alternative, and integrative medicine. At the same time, he was a pioneer in education, serving for nearly two decades as Educational Director at the Norwegian Academy of Natural Medicine (NAN), where he shaped curriculum, developed innovative approaches to learning, and guided the majority of homeopaths, naturopaths, and veteropaths in Norway. He has been a teacher of virtually every aspect of homeopathy and naturopathy—ranging from materia medica and clinical practice to philosophy of science, rhetoric, and therapist development—for more than 40 years.   Internationally, he has been a tireless ambassador of the field. As Chairperson of the Norwegian Association of Homeopaths, the European Council of Classical Homeopathy, and the International Council of Classical Homeopathy, he has not only led but also initiated many of the most important organizational and professional structures we take for granted today. He helped establish the first European guidelines for homeopathic education, guidelines that are now recognized globally as the standard. His honorary membership in the Norwegian Association of Homeopaths reflects a lifetime of service to the professional community.   As a lecturer and course instructor, he has been invited around the world for more than four decades, holding seminars on homeopathy, integrative medicine, philosophy, self-development and spirituality. He has trained healthcare professionals—including medical doctors and nurses—on the role of homeopathy in patient care, and his advanced training programs for practitioners have influenced generations of therapists. Beyond medicine, he has guided groups through self-development processes, spiritual initiations, and even journeys of initiation in Egypt.   ANB has also contributed at the policy and research levels. He served on the Norwegian government's Aarbakke Committee, which laid the groundwork for the Act on Alternative Treatment, and on the Ministry of Health's working group on private import of medicines. He has published extensively—hundreds of articles in Norwegian and international journals in print and online, as long-standing contributions to the The Magic Happens Magazine and his own site Holonity. He has conducted frontier research both regarding methodology as well as exploring the healing potential of close to 200 new homeopathic remedies.   In short, ANB's career encompasses the whole spectrum of homeopathy: practitioner, teacher, researcher, author, international spokesperson, and organizational leader. He has carried the field forward with vision, dedication, and a rare ability to connect the scientific, the practical, and the spiritual dimensions of healing in an inspirational and unified way that makes it easy to understand and apply.   Find out more about Andreas Website: https://holonity.com/   If you would like to support the Homeopathy Hangout Podcast, please consider making a donation by visiting www.EugenieKruger.com and click the DONATE button at the top of the site.

The Great Freight Recession continues its relentless purge in the carrier sector, claiming Illinois-based VIB Trans, a 29-truck carrier, as the ⁠latest casualty to file for Chapter 11 amid deeply depressed spot rates and relentlessly high operating costs⁠. This pain is accelerating due to an 18% drop in freight volumes coupled with immense overcapacity, driven by 310,000 new trucks and 200,000 new CDLs added to the system since 2019. Strategic experts are anticipating the ⁠Largest capacity purge in history coming⁠ as new regulations tighten enforcement around non-domiciled CDLs and ELP requirements. This regulatory squeeze could eliminate up to 600,000 active drivers from the system, potentially leading to sharp volatility spikes and market rationalization that ultimately benefits surviving carriers with higher pay and increased freight rates. While carriers fight for survival, the brokerage world is thriving, ⁠C.H. Robinson again is strong, and Wall Street throws roses⁠ after the company posted extremely strong third-quarter performance, including a 22.6% increase in income from operations. C.H. Robinson's core North American Surface Transport segment successfully grew combined truckload and LTL volume by 3%, demonstrating significant market share growth against a declining industry benchmark. In strategic updates, ⁠UPS is reversing its costly insourcing strategy for low-budget shipments⁠, tentatively agreeing to UPS, Postal Service to reunite for delivery of low-budget shipments via the USPS last-mile network. This reversal acknowledges that UPS's internal cost structure struggled to compete, especially after Ground Saver volume plummeted nearly 33% year-over-year. Internationally, the U.S. and China suspended ⁠punitive reciprocal fees on docking ships for one year amid trade talks⁠, which were originally imposed to revive U.S. shipbuilding. Plus, we cover immediate executive changes at CSX as CEO Steve Angel switches up leadership, ⁠naming Kevin Boone CFO and promoting Mary Clare Kenny to Chief Commercial Officer⁠.

CannCon and Ghost dive headfirst into a whirlwind of global and domestic turbulence—from Hurricane Melissa's catastrophic path through Jamaica to political tempests brewing in Washington. The duo breaks down the Biden “autopen scandal,” the growing RICO implications circling former officials, and the weaponization of executive actions. They tackle the looming government shutdown, SNAP funding chaos, and Trump's strategic game theory behind welfare reform. Internationally, they unpack Trump's reshaped alliances, CIA exposure in Venezuela, and the hidden war against globalist drug cartels. From the collapse of the deep state's narcotics pipeline to the tangled web of media narratives around Charlie Kirk's assassination, this episode exposes the raw mechanics of power, deception, and geopolitical change.

Robert is the middle child of nine, five girls and four boys. Because of his mother's health, the family packed up and moved to California from Minnesota. The warm, sunny weather of southern California helped with his mom's chronic pneumonia.  But the many lakes in Minnesota played a crucial role in Robert's  relationship with his mom, one that he'll never forget.Robert says, my mother had a sunny personality, really cheerful. She looked at real estate as a matchmaker-match people together with a beautiful home."Joan lost her mom, Robert's maternal grandmother, when she was four years old, so she never really knew how to cook. So she didn't have the traditional family recipes to fall back on each night.  However, she had a solid positive outlook and she truly knew her son really well.When asked if he and his siblings had plenty of freedom and were off on their own and knew when to come home for dinner Robert says "everyone else kind of new when to come home for dinner. I was kind of the devious one."  The thing that hurt him more than anything was when his mom would say "I'm very disappointed in you." To this day Robert says " I didn't want to disappoint my mother."Believe it or not, it was Robert's mom who busted him for shoplifting as a young boy. Robert says "I was a master shoplifter when I was a kid. "I was always hungry" continues Boog. But my mom eventually asked me for the receipts. she knew and put a stop to  it. Again, he didn't want to disappoint his mom. Robert's a smart guy. As a kid he skipped a few grades with the support of one of his older sisters. He got a scholarship to USLA  and graduated with a BA in Literature . He's written a few books, including real estate books as well as "Shakey's Madness - Does  A Mental Disorder Reveal The Real William Shakespeare" and "Hang Shakespeare. Robert also likes to dabble in song writing. As the 5th of the 9 kids, smack dab in the middle, Robert became a good negotiator. He shares some fun stories of what it was like at the dinner table and who had what chores and responsibilities. Joan had a profound impact on her son.  So much so, that he's still successfully running the business that she started way back when. She offered her son a ticket to go see the legendary sales trainer/realtor, Tom Hopkins, and it changed Robert's life. He realized that there was quite a bit more to real estate than he thought. Fortunately or unfortunately it was out of fear that motivated Joan to start working when Robert was a teen. Due to traumatic family circumstances, she realized that she needed to get a job. If anything happened to her husband, she needed to be able to put food on the table and take care of her children.Robert lives in Valencia, CA.There's so much more to this story. Hope you enjoy the listen. https://robertboog.com/-about his book on Shakespeare. All his books on amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Bob-Boog/e/B000APFUXC%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne dive into a packed agenda of financial crime compliance developments across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. They discuss the newly introduced bipartisan Senate bill proposing changes to SAR and CTR reporting thresholds, the troubling budget cuts at CISA, and New York's latest cybersecurity guidance. The conversation also explores open banking debates, TRM Labs' crypto adoption report, and Fed Governor Michael Barr's remarks on stablecoins. Internationally, they cover Canada's record-setting penalty against Xeltox Enterprises and the UK's AML supervisory overhaul.

In this episode Jeff opens with a live technical hiccup and plays the familiar "Word on Word" segment comparing John 14:6 (“I am the way, the truth, and the life”) with Proverbs 9:10 (“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”), then pivots into a wide-ranging commentary on current events and media narratives. The episode covers breaking headlines and cultural flashpoints: DOJ indictments linking NBA figures to cartels and illegal gambling, the P. Diddy scandal, and observations about the intersection of basketball, hip-hop culture, and political demographics. The host argues these stories feed into engineered social unrest and class/race polarization, and points to inflammatory rhetoric from politicians and activists as evidence of a coordinated push toward chaos. Political topics include clips from CNN and commentary on Democratic figures making extreme remarks, a contentious Maine Senate primary candidate with Nazi tattoos, and fears of escalating civil disorder. The show examines a leaked memo and comments about the National Guard preparing a national response by April 2026, and explores claims about Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs) and alleged wartime powers being activated — including assertions about military arrests, asset seizures, communications blackouts, and tribunals. Internationally, the host plays and analyzes a clip about how Israel controls narratives around the Gaza ceasefire, detailing three propaganda tactics used to justify Israeli actions, media framing that emphasizes Israeli victimhood, and accusations that ceasefires are routinely broken. The segment connects media strategy, influencer platforms, and geopolitical maneuvers, and critiques efforts to nominate political figures for awards amid ongoing conflict. Throughout the episode the host references several guests and sources (CNN guests, Scott Jennings, JMC wartime report, Israeli Knesset speakers) and offers personal takes on how spiritual perspective and study inform interpretation of current events. The show ends with promos for the host's online course modules, a reminder about an upcoming prayer call and Sunday Bible study, and a call to love God, family, and neighbor amid turbulent times.

Ruth was one year old when she and her family arrived in the United States from Wertheim am Main, Germany in 1938 according to Jonathan Ramsfelder, Ruth's son. A time of confusion, despair and relief,  yet so much regret for members of her  family that were left behind to the inevitable Nazi genocide of European Jews.  Ruth was the last Jewish baby born in Wertheim am Main.Ruth's family was upper middle class cattle dealers in Germany yet once in the US, they lived in poverty and worked whatever jobs they could to provide for the family including manuel labor as  maids, painters, dishwashers, etc. "Regardless of their hardship, they were loving and sought happiness," declares Ramsfelder.  " Mom grew up in  a very structured environment while being raised by two traumatized refugees." Jonathan continues with wonder as he shares the stories that have been repeated to him over the years. He's amazed at how his "maternal grandparents were lovely and embracing of life," in spite of their hardships. "The family educated themselves and embraced each other," continues Jonathan. Ruth went to school through high school and her son feels that she's one of the most intelligent people he knows. Had she been born at a different time, Jonathan believes that she would have been able to accomplish great things and work at a Fortune 500 company and more. Even though her son knows that "his mom suffered from her past, she was often demonstrating gratitude and contentment-they are my mom's hallmarks."  According to Jonathan, "Ruth is his role model and she's very instrumental in him becoming who he is today. She's outgoing and loves to meet people, she's put together cognitively, a reader of people and great at getting advice- not a judge of people." Ruth was steadfast in her optimistic ways, bound to be grateful and appreciative as well as inquisitive. Jonathan knew from an early age that based on his parents past and the trauma they had endured, he would never be able to disappoint them. Instead he says "that he used his parents experience as a source of encouragement  and ambition."So many wonderful life lessons to learn from my conversation with Jonathan about his  mother, Ruth. You can't ever give up hope in humanity  is one  of my take aways.There's so much more to this story so please listen to the episode and I've also attached Jonathan Ramsfelder's story that he posted on LInkedIn  in honor of his mother on Holocaust Remembrance Day 2022:**********************************************************************************************This is a photo of me and my mom, Ruth Ramsfelder, the last Jewish person born in her home town of Wertheim am Main, Germany. Tonight and tomorrow mark Holocaust Remembrance Day or, in Hebrew, Yom Hashoah.This is a photo of a Holocaust survivor and her son, myself, a product of two refugees who experienced childhood trauma through persecution, dislocation, the murder of their family members and, upon arriving in the U.S. in 1938 and 1939 (my mom and my dad, respectively) poverty.This is a photo of a woman who didn't have the opportunity to advance her education beyond high school but who is one of the most intelligent people (IQ and EQ) I have ever met.Resilience, positive outlook, compassion for others, kindness and good decision making are her signature attributes, along with networking and relationship‐building skills that could have catapulted her to the top of the corporate ladder had she been born 60 years later and not in a country bent on marginalizing (and ultimately exterminating) all of its Jewish citizens.This is a photo that proves that Hitler lost, the Jewish People are still here and that we will continue on.This is a photo of the last Jewish baby born in Wertheim am Main.Never forget.  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

pWotD Episode 3091: Shohei Ohtani Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 331,536 views on Saturday, 18 October 2025 our article of the day is Shohei Ohtani.Shohei Ohtani (Japanese: 大谷 翔平, Hepburn: Ōtani Shōhei; pronounced [oːtaɲi ɕoːheː] (SHOW-hey oh-TAH-nee); born July 5, 1994) is a Japanese professional baseball designated hitter and pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB). Nicknamed "Shotime", he has previously played in MLB for the Los Angeles Angels and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Because of his elite contributions as a hitter and as a pitcher, a rarity as a two-way player, Ohtani's prime seasons have been considered among the greatest in baseball history, with some comparing them favorably to the early career of Babe Ruth.Considered early on as an elite two-way player, Ohtani was the first pick of the Fighters in the 2012 NPB draft. He played for the Fighters from 2013 through 2017 as a pitcher and an outfielder and won the 2016 Japan Series with them. The Fighters posted Ohtani to MLB after the 2017 season, and he signed with the Angels, soon winning the 2018 American League (AL) Rookie of the Year Award.Following an injury-plagued 2019 and 2020, Ohtani hit 46 home runs and struck out 156 batters en route to winning his first AL Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in 2021, a statistically unprecedented two-way season that saw him bestowed with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award. In 2022, he became the first player in the modern era to qualify for both the hitting and pitching leaderboards in one season, finishing third in the AL with 219 strikeouts.Ohtani won his second AL MVP in 2023, leading the AL with 44 home runs while recording 10 wins as a pitcher. He was the first player to win multiple unanimous MVPs and the first Japanese-born player to win a league home run title. After the 2023 season, Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers, the then-largest contract in professional sports history. Since 2023, Ohtani's jerseys have sold more than any other player in the U. S., Japan and worldwide. Unable to pitch in 2024 while recovering from a second elbow injury, Ohtani played as a DH for the Dodgers. He became the first player in MLB history to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season and was unanimously named the 2024 National League MVP. He won the 2024 World Series in his first MLB postseason appearance.Internationally, Ohtani represents Japan. At the 2023 World Baseball Classic, he won the MVP Award for the tournament following Japan's victory over the United States. The 2023 final was one of the most-watched baseball games in history, culminating with Ohtani striking out Angels teammate and U. S. captain Mike Trout on a full count, securing a 3–2 win and Japan's third title.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:24 UTC on Sunday, 19 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Shohei Ohtani on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Justin.

SHOW SCHEDULE 10-15--25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1964 ATLANTIC CITYCONVENTION HALL THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CONGRESS.... 10-15--25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Obamacare Subsidies Trigger Government Shutdown Debate GUEST NAME: Michael Toth SUMMARY: Michael Toth explains that the current government shutdown debate centers on extending two expensive Biden-era Obamacare subsidies. These changes allow individuals earning over 400% of the federal poverty line to receive subsidies and provide 100% coverage for the near-poor. The original Obamacare cross-subsidy structure failed because young, healthy individuals found premiums too high. Toth advocates deregulation, such as allowing insurance companies to charge lower, risk-adjusted rates and enabling single business owners to use Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) for cheaper coverage. 915-930 HEADLINE: Obamacare Subsidies Trigger Government Shutdown Debate GUEST NAME: Michael Toth SUMMARY: Michael Toth explains that the current government shutdown debate centers on extending two expensive Biden-era Obamacare subsidies.

The released prisoners, including potential Hamas leaders, raise concerns about where the organization's center of gravity will shift if they are deported to places like Turkey or Qatar. Schanzer views Turkey, an autocratic supporter of Hamas, as a problematic guarantor of the ceasefire. Internationally, Iran continues its nuclear program despite snapback sanctions, and al-Sharaa is meeting with Putin regarding Russian assets in Syria. 945-1000 HEADLINE: Hamas, Hostages, and Middle East Turmoil: Challenges to the Trump Ceasefire Plan GUEST NAME:Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY: Jonathan Schanzer discusses complications in the Trump ceasefire plan, including Hamas delaying the return of deceased hostages to maintain leverage.

Internationally, Iran continues its nuclear program despite snapback sanctions, and al-Sharaa is meeting with Putin regarding Russian assets in Syria. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: China's Predicament in the Middle East and Domestic Economic Instability GUEST NAME: General Blaine Holt SUMMARY: General Blaine Holt analyzes China's strategic challenges, noting Beijing is concerned about losing access to critical oil and gas resources as US leadership advances the Abraham Accords. China's previous regional deals, like the Saudi-Iran agreement, lacked substance compared to US business commitments. Holt suggests internal pressures might lead Iran toward the Accords. Domestically, China faces accelerating deflation and uncertainty regarding Xi Jinping's leadership due to four competing factions before the fourth plenum. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: South Korea's Descent into Authoritarianism and Persecution of Opposition GUEST NAME: Morse Tan SUMMARY: Morse Tan argues that South Korea is moving toward a "rising communist dictatorship" that oppresses political and religious figures. The indictment of the Unification Church leader and the targeting of the rightful President Yoon exemplify this trend. This persecution serves as an intimidation campaign, demonstrating the regime's disregard for the populace. Tan recommends the US implement active measures, including sanctions relating to a coup d'état and visa sanctions, while also pressing for greater military cooperation. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: Russian War Economy Stalls as Oil Prices Decline and Sanctions Bite GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: Michael Bernstam reports that the Russian economy is struggling as global oil prices decline and sanctions increase transportation costs, leading to a $13 to $14 per barrel discount on Russian oil. The "military Keynesianism" economy is exhausted, resulting in staff cuts across industrial sectors. Forecasts indicate contraction in late 2025 and 2026, with the IMF lowering its growth projection for 2025 to 0.6%. Russia is avoiding sanctions by routing payments through neighbors like Kyrgyzstan, who have become major financial hubs. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: Lessons from the Swiss National Bank: Risk-Taking, Exchange Rates, and Fiscal Responsibility GUEST NAME: John Cochrane SUMMARY: Economist John Cochrane analyzes the Swiss National Bank (SNB), noting it differs greatly from the US Federal Reserve by investing heavily in foreign stocks and bonds to manage the Swiss franc's exchange rate. The SNB's massive balance sheet carries risks accepted by Swiss taxpayers and the Cantons. Switzerland, being fiscally responsible (running no budget deficits), finds central banking easier. Cochrane advises that the US Fed should not be buying stocks or venturing into fiscal policy. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: China Retaliates Against Dutch Chipmaker Seizure Amid European Fragmentation GUEST NAME:Theresa Fallon SUMMARY: Theresa Fallon discusses China imposing export controls on Nexperia after the Dutch government seized control of the chipmaker, which was owned by China's Wingtech. The Dutch acted due to fears the Chinese owner would strip the technology and equipment, despite Nexperia producing low-quality chips for cars. Fallon notes Europe needs a better chip policy but struggles to speak with one voice, as fragmented policy allows China to drive wedges and weaken the EU. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: China's Economic Slowdown, Deflation, and the Spectre of Japanification GUEST NAME: Andrew Collier SUMMARY: Andrew Collier discusses China's economic woes, characterized by persistent deflation, with the CPI down 0.3% (6 out of 9 months in the red) and the PPI down for 36 straight months. This environment raises concerns about "Japanification"—a multi-decade slowdown after a property crash. Major structural changes to stimulate consumer consumption are unlikely at the upcoming Communist Party plenum, as the system favors state investment. The property market collapse means foreign investment is leaving, and Collier suggests the economy may not bottom until 2027 or 2028. 1130-1145 HEADLINE: SpaceX Starship Success, Private Space Dominance, and Government Inaction GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman describes SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy 11th test flight as "remarkable," highlighting successful booster reuse and controlled re-entry despite missing tiles. He asserts that private enterprise, like SpaceX, runs the "real American space program" aimed at Mars colonization, outpacing government efforts. In contrast, European projects like Callisto, proposed in 2015, demonstrate government "inaction." JPL is also laying off staff following the cancellation of the Mars sample return project, forcing organizations like Lowell Observatory to seek private funding. 1145-1200 HEADLINE: SpaceX Starship Success, Private Space Dominance, and Government Inaction GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman describes SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy 11th test flight as "remarkable," highlighting successful booster reuse and controlled re-entry despite missing tiles.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Commodity Market Trends and UK's Lack of Risk Appetite for AI Innovation GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: Simon Constable notes that data center expansion for AI is increasing prices for copper (up 15%) and steel (up 14%). He points out that the UK lags significantly behind the US in building new AI data centers (170 vs. 5,000+) due to a lack of risk appetite, insufficient wealth, and poor marketing of new ideas. Separately, Constable discusses the collapse of a UK China spying trial because the prior government failed to officially classify China as a national security threat during the alleged offenses. 1215-1230 HEADLINE: Commodity Market Trends and UK's Lack of Risk Appetite for AI Innovation GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: Simon Constable notes that data center expansion for AI is increasing prices for copper (up 15%) and steel (up 14%).

Separately, Constable discusses the collapse of a UK China spying trial because the prior government failed to officially classify China as a national security threat during the alleged offenses. 1230-1245 HEADLINE: AI Regulation Debate: Premature Laws vs. Emerging Norms GUEST NAME: Kevin Frazier SUMMARY: Kevin Frazier critiques the legislative rush to regulate AI, arguing that developing norms might be more effective than premature laws. He notes that bills like California's AB 1047, which demands factual accuracy, fundamentally misunderstand AI's generative nature. Imposing vague standards, as seen in New York's RAISE Act, risks chilling innovation and preventing widespread benefits, like affordable legal or therapy tools. Frazier emphasizes that AI policy should be grounded in empirical data rather than speculative fears. 1245-100 AM HEADLINE: AI Regulation Debate: Premature Laws vs. Emerging Norms GUEST NAME: Kevin Frazier SUMMARY: Kevin Frazier critiques the legislative rush to regulate AI, arguing that developing norms might be more effective than premature laws. He notes that bills like California's AB 1047, which demands factual accuracy, fundamentally misunderstand AI's generative nature. Imposing vague standards, as seen in New York's RAISE Act, risks chilling innovation and preventing widespread benefits, like affordable legal or therapy tools. Frazier emphasizes that AI policy should be grounded in empirical data rather than speculative fears.

HEADLINE: Hamas, Hostages, and Middle East Turmoil: Challenges to the Trump Ceasefire Plan GUEST NAME:Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY: Jonathan Schanzer discusses complications in the Trump ceasefire plan, including Hamas delaying the return of deceased hostages to maintain leverage. The released prisoners, including potential Hamas leaders, raise concerns about where the organization's center of gravity will shift if they are deported to places like Turkey or Qatar. Schanzer views Turkey, an autocratic supporter of Hamas, as a problematic guarantor of the ceasefire. Internationally, Iran continues its nuclear program despite snapback sanctions, and al-Sharaa is meeting with Putin regarding Russian assets in Syria.

Wisconsin cheese is making its mark on the global stage. In just a few years, the number of state cheesemakers exporting their products has grown from nine to more than 30, reaching over 50 countries in 2025. DFW Board Member Mark Crave says through trade shows, retail programs, and international buyer missions, Wisconsin’s dairy checkoff is building strong connections with importers from Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. These efforts not only boost global recognition but also strengthen demand for Wisconsin milk, helping secure a stable future for the state’s dairy farmers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pattie was a strong woman through and through. She learned everything she knew about raising and caring for animals and growing crops from her parents  and the land she grew up on.  Because of her experience on the farm plus her ability to drive and operate farm machinery, etc, she was available to help out her country during WWII. This enabled her to be active during the Land Army, in New Zealand. Josh shares how she had a wonderful sense of humor (Irish family roots), taught Josh how to sew, cook, play cards, knit and so much more. Josh willingly admits that he was a mama's boy and as he says he "hung onto her apron strings."As Josh was getting ready to move away from home for a new job, he was desperate to share a very personal story with his mother. She'd already survived breast cancer shortly after her was born, but now the cancer was back. She refused chemo and radiation, so Josh was afraid this might me the last time he'd see his mother. Just as he was about to go out the door, he spoke to his mother and revealed what he'd been hiding inside for decades.  She was un perplexed and finished his statement before he had a chance to share what he wanted to say.  That was just a little bit of the magic of Pattie.She regularly took care of her neighbors. Whether because of an illness or just in need of company, she was always there to help other. Pattie was also very curious, especially regarding her friends and neighbors in this rural farming area. Josh shares some very funny stories about the phone in his house.The work that Josh is doing with "The Litter Club Network is so important.

China, which has made historic progress in uplifting the well-being of women, can serve as a role model for other countries that wish to promote gender equality and highlight women's key role in global development, analysts said.分析人士指出，中国在提升女性福祉方面取得了历史性进展，对于那些希望促进性别平等、凸显女性在全球发展中关键作用的国家而言，中国可成为典范。In his address on Monday at the opening ceremony of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, held in Beijing, President Xi Jinping said that it is the international community's shared consensus to advance the development of women.周一，在京举行的全球妇女峰会开幕式上，习近平主席发表致辞时表示，推动妇女发展是国际社会的共同共识。"Women in every corner of the world are bound together by a shared future. At present, complex challenges still hamper their all-round development," Xi said, noting that more than 600 million women and girls around the world are still mired in war and conflict, and around 10 percent are trapped in extreme poverty.习近平主席表示：“世界各国妇女命运与共。当前，复杂挑战仍在阻碍妇女全面发展。”他指出，全球有超过6亿妇女和女童仍深陷战争与冲突之中，约10%的妇女和女童处于极端贫困状态。Namtip Aksornkool, former head of the UNESCO Literacy and Basic Education and Gender Focal Point, said the high-level meeting will help to promote international collaboration. She also emphasized the critical role of women in global issues and highlighted that women's rights are human rights.联合国教科文组织前扫盲与基础教育部门负责人兼性别问题协调员南提普·阿克索恩库尔（Namtip Aksornkool）表示，此次高级别会议将有助于促进国际合作。她还强调了妇女在全球事务中的关键作用，并指出妇女权利是人权的重要组成部分。Aksornkool said that China has achieved significant progress in women's education and leadership.阿克索恩库尔表示，中国在妇女教育和妇女参与领导层面取得了显著进展。She said she is hoping that as the host of the high-level meeting, China will share its successful policies and inspire other nations to invest in women's potential.她表示，希望作为此次高级别会议东道主的中国，能分享其成功政策，激励其他国家发掘妇女潜力。Anna Rosario Malindog-Uy, vice-president of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute, said Xi's speech indicates that he puts a premium on women's issues.菲律宾亚洲世纪战略研究所副所长安娜·罗萨里奥·马林多格-乌伊（Anna Rosario Malindog-Uy）表示，习近平主席的致辞表明他高度重视妇女议题。Malindog-Uy said this was "a deliberate signal" aimed at both domestic and international audiences. "Domestically, it reinforces the government's commitment to gender equality. Internationally, it positions China as an active participant in global dialogues concerning women's rights and development," she said.马林多格-乌伊称，这是向国内外传递的“明确信号”。“在国内，这强化了政府对性别平等的承诺；在国际上，这表明中国在有关妇女权利与发展的全球对话中扮演着积极参与者的角色，”她说。Malindog-Uy said the meeting will serve as a platform for China to showcase its achievements in promoting women's development and to advocate global cooperation in addressing challenges that women face worldwide.马林多格-乌伊表示，此次会议将成为中国的展示平台，既可以展现中国在促进妇女发展方面的成就，也能倡导全球合作以应对各国妇女面临的挑战。"The meeting is also an opportunity for China to announce new initiatives or policies aimed at further advancing women's rights and opportunities, both domestically and internationally," she said.“此次会议也是中国的重要契机，可借此宣布新的举措或政策，以在国内外进一步促进妇女权利、拓展妇女发展机遇，”她说。Xi put forward four proposals to accelerate women's all-round development: foster an enabling environment for women's growth and development; cultivate robust drivers for the high-quality development of the women's cause; jointly develop governance frameworks to protect women's rights and interests; and write a new chapter in promoting global cooperation on women.习近平主席提出四项建议，以加速妇女全面发展：一是营造有利于妇女成长发展的良好环境；二是培育妇女事业高质量发展的强劲动力；三是共同构建保障妇女权益的治理框架；四是谱写促进妇女领域全球合作的新篇章。Sayamol Charoenratana, director of the Center of Excellence for Human Security and Equity at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, said that Xi's proposals are important "because the world is now changing dramatically". She said the two-day Beijing meeting, which gathers leaders from around the world, can provide the opportunity to reinforce women's contributions to both global and regional development, especially in the Global South.泰国朱拉隆功大学人类安全与公平卓越中心主任萨亚莫尔·查伦拉塔纳（Sayamol Charoenratana）表示，习近平主席提出的建议意义重大，“因为当前世界正发生深刻变革”。她指出，这场为期两天、汇聚各国领导人的北京会议，为彰显妇女对全球及区域发展（尤其是在南方国家）的贡献提供了契机。"For many decades, there has been a deep stereotype that usually places women in supporting roles instead of being decision-makers. Women are mostly attached to roles related to family and community," Sayamol said, adding that gender inequality is "a prominent problem in developing countries".萨亚莫尔表示：“数十年来，存在一种根深蒂固的刻板印象，即通常将妇女置于辅助角色而非决策角色。妇女的角色多与家庭和社区相关。”她还补充道，性别不平等是“发展中国家面临的突出问题”。Zoe White, executive president of the Australia China Economics, Trade and Culture Association, said that the ongoing high-level meeting on women in Beijing is "a new milestone" in promoting global women-related causes.澳中经贸文化交流协会执行会长佐伊·怀特（Zoe White）表示，目前正在北京举行的这场妇女高级别会议，是推动全球妇女事业发展的“新里程碑”。"The Global Leaders' Meeting on Women…not only provides a vital platform for the progress of women's causes, but also fosters a positive global environment for women's growth and development," White said. "It highlights…advancing women's empowerment and protecting women's rights."怀特表示：“全球妇女峰会……不仅为妇女事业发展提供了重要平台，也为妇女成长发展营造了积极的全球环境。会议凸显了……增进妇女赋权、保障妇女权利的重要性。”international analysts on gender equalityn.关注性别平等的国际分析人士 /ˌɪntəˈnæʃnəl ˈænəlɪsts ɒn ˈdʒendə ɪˈkwɒləti/leaders of global women-related organizationsn.全球妇女相关组织负责人/ˈliːdəz əv ˈɡləʊbl ˈwɪmɪn-rɪˈleɪtɪd ˌɔːɡənaɪˈzeɪʃnz/

Internationally recognized neuroscientist Aileen Anderson – a professor of physical medicine & rehabilitation, anatomy & neurobiology and neurosurgery, and the former director of the Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center – started her tenure as UC Irvine's vice chancellor for research on July 1. She had no opportunity to ease into her new, important role. In her first month at the helm, the federal government announced it was suspending approximately $584 million in funding from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and other agencies to UCLA, putting the entire UC system on alert for what might be next. In the months since, several federal court orders have restored vast amounts of those grants, but the situation remains in flux. On Aug. 21, Anderson hosted a town hall to address how federal funding suspensions impact UC Irvine. To make clear her position, her campuswide emails offering updates to the latest developments all end with this quote: “The Office of Research and I stand with our research community. We appreciate your resilience and remain committed to supporting you every step of the way.” In this episode of The UC Irvine Podcast, Anderson demonstrates that dedication by sharing what she knows about the current state of federal funding, how cuts are affecting the research community at UC Irvine and globally, and what these changes could mean for the future of the university, its faculty and students, science, medicine, and, eventually, the health of Americans and international reputation of the United States. “Building Blocks,” the music for this episode, was provided by Nate Blaze, via the audio library in YouTube Studio.

Today we were thrilled to host Julien Dumoulin-Smith, Managing Director of U.S. Power, Utilities, and Clean Energy Research at Jefferies. Julien joined the firm in July 2024 after serving as a Senior Research Analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and as an Executive Director at UBS. He holds an MBA and a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Columbia University. Institutional Investor magazine has ranked Julien as a #1 double-ranked analyst in both Utilities and Alternative/Clean Energy, and he was inducted into the II Hall of Fame for his cumulative accomplishments. It was our pleasure to welcome Julien to our office and hear his thoughtful perspectives on the ever-evolving energy and power landscape. In our discussion, we explore Julien's coverage universe, which he describes as “the full electron and derivatives landscape” spanning utilities, IPPs, renewables, gas plants, industrial adjacencies, and service providers. We discuss the influx of new investors entering power and utilities, Julien's observation that the biggest surprise isn't data center proliferation, but rather how tech companies are paying premiums for power to secure supply, and how utilities once seen as “defensive” are now showing growth characteristics. We touch on the tension between tech companies' need for rapid, large-scale power and their reluctance to become capital-intensive or FERC-regulated, why we're not seeing more long-term offtakes with existing power plants and how state level politics play into it, and how legacy players, new entrants, and regulators are all adapting to a power market being reshaped by AI demand, infrastructure bottlenecks, and novel deal structures. Julien shares that rising inflation across the economy is showing up in utility bills and expresses concern that LNG developers or data centers could be scapegoated for higher gas and power prices. He highlights the parabolic rise in the value of capacity and reliability, the drivers of power inflation including turbine shortages and rising capital costs, whether utilities are properly incentivized to control costs, the role of demand-response mechanisms, and how regulatory and state-level actions are shaping markets. We cover power market scenarios for high and low demand cases, the role of innovation in batteries, fuel cells, and other technologies, and the tension between patching existing systems versus building large-scale infrastructure. We also discuss constraints on ramping renewables, the growing influence of behind-the-meter power, implications for Q3 earnings, and much more. We covered a lot of territory and greatly enjoyed the conversation. To be added to Julien's research distribution list, click here. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that markets continue to be mostly focused on the U.S. Government shutdown. The 10-year bond yield continues to trade sideways at ~4.1% with economic reports on pause until the government reopens. Internationally, Japan's Liberal Democratic Party elected Sanae Takaichi (who is viewed as fiscally expansionary), which some believe increases the risk of an unwind of the long-standing Yen carry trade. The S&P 500 is up roughly 80bps since the government shutdown, with Healthcare and Technology outperforming. He highlighted AMD's chip deal with OpenAI, which added roughly $70B in market cap, and Oracle's pullback on AI cloud margin concerns. On the crude oil market front, WTI price has increased modestly this week due to OPEC+ announcing a smaller than expected ~135kbpd oil production increase for November. While this could widen the 2026 surplus, traders are weighing when and how prices might react amid limited OPEC spare capacity. On the energy equity front, he pointed out FERMI America's strong IPO debut and continued investor enthusiasm for electricity generation. He ended by flagging the upcoming Rockpoint Gas Storage IPO (280bcf in Canada &

In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks, the team reunites after a short hiatus to remember the life and work of a pair of icons in the field of anthropology, with the passing of Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum and Dr. Jane Goodall.  Dr. Jane Morris Goodall, renowned primatologist, ethologist, and conservationist, dedicated her life to expanding humanity's understanding of the natural world and its profound interconnections. Dr. Jane Goodall was not only as a scientist but a humanitarian and moral leader, whose legacy endures in every forest preserved, every animal protected, and every young mind awakened to wonder. Her passing marks the end of an extraordinary era in science and environmental stewardship. Dr. Jeffrey “Jeff” Meldrum (1958–2025) was a renowned American anthropologist and professor at Idaho State University, best known for his work on primate locomotion, foot morphology, and the evolution of human bipedalism. At Idaho State, Meldrum taught anatomy, evolution, and primatology and conducted research into evolutionary morphology, with special emphasis on how the foot evolved to support upright walking in hominins. However, Meldrum was best known as one of the most prominent scientists to engage seriously with the Bigfoot (Sasquatch) topic, publishing Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science and curating a large collection of footprint casts—while remaining committed to applying scientific rigor to controversial claims, in work that drew both admiration and critique as he straddled the boundary between mainstream anthropology and cryptozoology. Dr. Meldrum passed away on September 10, 2025, following a brief battle with brain cancer at age 67. We celebrate the life, and discuss the work of these two great luminaries in science, on this very special episode of Sasquatch Tracks.

Solomea's story begins in Drohobych, a city in the south of Lviv Oblast, Ukraine. At a young age, Solomea lost her hearing mainly because of two illnesses, Menangitis and Scarlett Fever. At the time, she was luckily old enough that she had learned to speak and read, so she adapted by learning how to read lips. Andy tells this heartwarming story of his mother's love  in his latest book, "A Promise Kept: A Tribute To A Mother's Love."  And Andy didn't know any of his mother's background and experiences until he was fifty years old. And he kept his promise to his mother to help others that were in need and indeed he has.Solomea was a young child when she and her family witnessed the "Nazi occupation of Poland and then the Soviet occupation of Western Ukraine," explains Mr. Semotiuk. His mom, was one of the first refugees to flee war torn Europe to Immigrate to North America.A life filled with challenges, loss of love, family and yet she never gave up. Years later, as a single mother, she was able to put her son through law school. Andy explains, "I watched my mother put me through law school on her hands and knees, washing floors." Mother and son had a very special bond. I don't think that a day goes by that Andy doesn't think and thank his mother for all that she's taught him and all that she did for him.Andy Semotiuk has also written a book entitled, "Solomea." Solomea, his great Aunt, was his grandmother's sister.  She was also a very,  successful leading dramatic soprano opera singer, but unfortunately WWII got in the way of her lengthy career. She performed with Enrico Caruso, Arturo Toscanini, Giacomo PucciniThere is so much more to this story. I hope you enjoy the listen. I have so much respect for Solomea, Andy's mother. She endured so much, yet she always landed on her feet. She connected with wonderful women that helped her along this complicated and challenging journey. Imagine immigrating to a new, unknown country, not speaking the language, not being able to hear, having no money or family. And yet Solomea prevailed and raised a wonderful son who is happily helping others in need of legal immigration services.It was a pleasure to speak with Paul and share this eye opening story of a young woman who wasn't afraid to step out alone.By the age of nine, Andy still never knew who his biological father was. Yet it was an honor for Andy to take the sir name of the gentleman who Andy referred to as his "grandfather/grandpa," who's name was William Semotiuk. Law firm website:https://pacelawfirm.com*Personal legal website:https://myworkvisa.com*LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andysemotiuk/Instagram:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Andy+SemotiukX.Com:https://www.X.Com/ASemotiuk*Facebook personal:https://www.facebook.com/asemotiuk/Facebook business:https://www.facebook.com/myworkvisaYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Andy+SemotiukIMDB:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14878772/*Amazon:https://www.buysolomeabook.com/The Clinic that helped Andy's mother was the  Weinlos Clinic, located at 15508 87 Ave NW, Edmonton, Alberta. edmonton.cdncompanies.com+3health-local.com+3edmonton.cdncompanies.com+3 "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

CannCon and Ghost take on a packed Tuesday edition of Badlands Daily, starting with Trump's explosive announcement linking Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism, sparking Big Pharma denials and possible lawsuits. The hosts dig into vaccine safety, censorship, and the broader fight against medical corruption, drawing comparisons to Nuremberg accountability. They then tackle a messy drug pricing controversy, exposing how media spin distorts Trump's push for fairness in global markets. Shifting gears, the show dives into MSNBC's hit piece on Tom Homan, FBI entrapment, and CIA-fed narratives, followed by Trump's executive order designating Antifa a domestic terror group. From looming government shutdown games in Congress to SCOTUS weighing presidential power over “independent” agencies, CannCon and Ghost emphasize first principles and accountability. Internationally, they cover Trump's moves with Turkey, Netanyahu, and Kazakhstan, plus the UN's recognition of Palestine, setting the stage for geopolitical realignment. With sharp commentary and no-nonsense analysis, this episode threads together corruption, propaganda, and global maneuvering.

I'm so glad you're here to take a listen to Rachel's stories of her grandmother's gardens in Zimbabwe and her life growing up in Australia.Throughout her life, Rachel has travelled and lived in London, Hong King and Tel Aviv. Now she lives in Manhattan and says she "pretty much lives for cooking and entertaining.  The history of food, it's culture and migration, as well as its ability to bring people together over a diverse and lively table is why I love what I do."  It's been ten years since she and her co-founders, Lisa Mendelson and Monica Molenaar, began Seed + Mill.As a little girl, Rachel's has fond memories of running through her grandparent's gardens in Zimbabwe, climbing avocado and mango trees. This was the beginning of her passion for what she enjoys today. What she began to understand as she got a little older was her grandparents experience immigrating to Africa from Prague, formerly referred to as the capital city of Czechoslovakia.  Today, Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic.  Her grandparents were Holocaust survivors and fled Prague in order to begin a new life. Jane ,Rachel's mother, was born and lived in Zimbabwe until she was about eighteen years old. Jane eventually fell in love, got married, moved to London then settled in Sydney, Australia with her husband. My guest shares wonderful stories of her mother, Jane.  "She was incredibly generous, passionate about many things, loved to share whatever she was interested in, whether with her family, or share with her friends and neighbors. Whatever she was excited about she loved to share with other people. She was a horticulturalist and a physical therapist." Jane also worked in obstetrics helping pregnant women and post-natal mothers.In looking back at Jane's childhood, "it was different from what it looked like from the outside. Her parents had been traumatized because of their experience as Holocaust survivors.  They were trying to rebuild their lives, but it had taken a toll on all of them. That experience, Rachel shares, "impacted mom's sense of identity."Jane was brave and resilient, according to Rachel. "She longed for nurture and really deep and meaningful relationships with people. She received and she gave that encouragement in equal measures."When asked if Rachel felt safe and secure in her home growing up, her response was, "I always felt safe and secure and felt lots of love from my mother. In lots of ways, in an unconscious and  unspoken way, I was always worried about her mental health. I could feel that generational trauma from my grandmother to my mother and now probably to me. And I am mindful of this to my own daughter."This is such a loving and beautiful story of women who loved one another unconditionally, yet there were barriers that couldn't be broken.Though Rachel's mother has passed away, Rachel says she speaks with her everyday. She visited her mother in Australia several time in her last remaining monthsand weeks.  As she was by her mother's bedside, she wrote her most recent cook book "Sesame."   She turned in her transcript for the book and the very next day, her mother passed away.Rachel is so proud of all that her mother did for she and her younger sister. "She was always committed and worked really hard. She filled her time and days and relationships to not feel her own pain."Thank you for being so open and honest Rachel.  It was an absolutely pleasure to meet your mum through your eyes and your heart.Contact Information:Instagram: seedandmillIf you're looking for information about Rachel's NEW Cookbook "Sesame" click on this link and then click on "cookbook" on the top left banner.
