After three years of unpaid sacrifice at Hot 97, being fired and blackballed, repeatedly passed over for promotion, and ultimately losing her father to COVID, she had every reason to quit.

Story 1: President Donald Trump delivered a historically long State of the Union Address last night, but not everyone is happy about it. Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) helps Will unpack President Trump's speech, reflecting on the current state of our nation's political landscape, and the Democratic Party's hesitancy to support bipartisan issues such as the SAVE Act.Story 2: Will and The Crew share their ideas for a revolutionary new Congressional dress code while reacting to President Trump's bestowal of two Medals of Honor and one Presidential Medal of Freedom during his State of the Union address.Story 3: The censorship of the Internet by "Big Tech" companies has been an open secret for years, but a lack of competition has made the idea of circumventing it laughable. Things may be beginning to change. Co-Owner of the Chicago Cubs and Founder of Freespoke, Todd Ricketts joins Will to discuss his effort to build a censorship free search engine, sharing what inspired him to do so, and what his main issues are with current market leaders like Google. Plus, Todd reflects on his invitation to visit the White House after the Cubs won the World Series in 2016.Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country' on YouTube here: Watch Will Cain Country!Follow ‘Will Cain Country' on X (@willcainshow), Instagram (@willcainshow), TikTok (@willcainshow), and Facebook (@willcainnews)Follow Will on X: @WillCain Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Sinica, I speak with Yi-Ling Liu, journalist, former China editor at Rest of World, and author of the new book The Wall Dancers: Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet. Yi-Ling's book traces the arc of Chinese online life through five protagonists — a rapper, a gay rights entrepreneur, a feminist activist, a science fiction writer, and an internet censor — each navigating the creative and constrictive forces of the Chinese internet in their own way. The result is a deeply reported, novelistic account of what it felt like to live, create, and push back in one of the most surveilled and dynamic digital environments on earth. We discuss the book's central metaphor of "dancing in shackles," the early utopian glow of Chinese netizen culture, the parallel fates of hip hop and science fiction under the state's alternating embrace and constraint, and the eerie convergence between the Chinese internet and our own.0:06 — "Wall dancers" as a metaphor: what it captures that "dissident" or "netizen" doesn't0:09 — Why 网民 (wǎngmín) took root in China as a concept of digital citizenship0:13 — The early Chinese internet: more open than we remember, but not as free as the myth suggests0:15 — Ma Baoli: closeted cop to CEO of China's largest gay dating app, and the Gay Talese reporting strategy0:20 — Lan Yu, Beijing Story, and the film that became a coming-out moment for a generation of queer men0:22 — Pragmatism at the heart of the dance: how individuals and the state negotiated the internet together0:28 — Lu Pin and Feminist Voices: from "playing boundary ball" to sudden exile0:35 — Stanley Chen Qiufan and the state's attempt to co-opt science fiction for nationalist ends0:43 — The generational split in Chinese sci-fi: Liu Cixin's cosmic scale vs. the near-future unease of Chen Qiufan and Hao Jingfang0:46 — Hip hop's arc: from underground scenes in Chengdu and Beijing to The Rap of China and sudden constraint0:51 — Eric Liu, the Weibo censor: humanizing the firewall from the inside0:55 — Common prosperity, Wang Huning, and the moral panic behind the crackdown on "effeminate" culture0:59 — Techno-utopianism in retrospect: was the emancipatory internet always a fantasy?1:03 — The convergence of the Chinese and American internets: Weibo and Twitter, TikTok and Oracle1:07 — What it means to be free: how the book expanded Yi-Ling's sense of what freedoms people actually wantPaying it forward: Zeyi Yang, technology reporter at WIRED, and co-author (with Louise Matsakis) of the excellent tech x China newsletter Made in ChinaRecommendations:Yi-Ling: The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai; Machine Decision is Not Final, an anthology of essays on Chinese AI compiled by scholars affiliated with NYU Shanghai.Kaiser: The Coming Storm: Power, Conflict and Warnings from History by Odd Arne Westad (forthcoming); Essays from Pallavi Aiyar's Substack The Global Jigsaw, particularly "How Has China Succeeded in Making People Mind their Manners" and "Why I Would Rather Be Born Chinese than Indian Today."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A new wave of legislation could change the Internet forever. From the U.S. to Australia, digital ID laws are emerging that could require users—especially teens—to prove their age with facial scans, credit cards, or government IDs just to go online. This episode dives into the so-called Online Safety Act, the SHOVE trial in LA, and the role of Republicans like Ted Cruz and Anna Pulina Luna in sponsoring measures that critics call “speech tyranny.” We explore the potential impact on free expression, social media companies, and everyday users—plus why Fox News is relentless in its coverage.
#200 - Miracle Cure or Internet Hype? The Truth About Castor Oil Castor oil is having a moment. Scroll social media for five minutes and you'll see it: “Cured my endometriosis.” “Detoxed my liver.” “Regrew my hairline.” “Healed… well, everything.” And when something is suddenly the solution to literally every problem… it's time to pause. Because while castor oil is absolutely powerful, not every claim floating around the internet deserves your blind trust (or all of your body parts). In this episode, I break down what castor oil actually is, what it's scientifically supported for, what I personally use it for, and what I absolutely would not recommend—especially if you're pregnant or thinking about putting it near your eyeballs. If you've been curious about castor oil packs, anti-aging benefits, hair growth hacks, stretch mark reduction, or lymphatic detox claims… this episode is your grounded, evidence-based (with a dash of anecdotal honesty) guide. What You'll Learn in This Episode What castor oil is made of (and why omega-9 fatty acids matter) FDA-approved uses vs. influencer folklore Whether castor oil actually helps with constipation Skin barrier repair, anti-aging, and collagen support Hair growth, scalp health, and rosemary oil synergy Castor oil for scars, stretch marks, arthritis, and cracked heels The truth about castor oil packs for liver detox Regular vs. Jamaican black castor oil—is there a difference? Side effects, safety, and when to absolutely avoid it Timestamps 00:00 – Castor oil: miracle cure or marketing frenzy? 01:00 – Why the FDA cracked down on exaggerated claims 02:00 – What castor oil actually is (hello, omega-9 fatty acids) 04:30 – What it's officially approved for 05:00 – Would I drink it for constipation? 06:30 – Traditional uses: skin conditions, infections, inflammation, lymphatic support 07:30 – Skin benefits that actually make sense 08:00 – Fine lines, wrinkles, and collagen support (why it may help) 09:00 – How to use it for hair growth 10:30 – Acne: helpful or hormonal disaster? (Bio-individuality matters) 12:00 – Castor oil packs for liver detox—worth it? 13:00 – Thyroid application (yes, I use it for Hashimoto's support) 14:00 – Stretch marks & scars: how to use heat to enhance absorption 16:00 – Anti-aging layering method (this is worth the price of admission) 17:00 – Lips: hyaluronic acid + castor oil combo 18:00 – Cracked heels, cuticles, and nail growth 20:00 – The fern experiment (because why not?) 21:00 – Jamaican black castor oil vs. regular: which is better? 22:00 – Side effects and when not to use it 23:00 – Pregnancy warning (seriously, a hard no) 24:00 – My honest verdict Let's Talk About What's Real Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid—an omega-9 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties. That's the magic. It's thick. It's deeply emollient. It seals moisture in like a champ. Which makes it excellent for: Dry skin Eczema-prone areas Crepey skin in perimenopause and menopause Fine lines (temporarily plumping through hydration) Cracked heels Dry cuticles Scalp nourishment And when you layer it correctly, it acts like a sealant to hold hydration in. I personally use it nightly on my face, neck, thyroid area, lips, and brows. Am I shiny before bed? Yes. Do I care? Not even a little. What I'd Be Careful With Internal use for constipation (very effective but not my first-line recommendation) Anything near your eyes (I woke up with red, burning, and irritated eyes) Vaginal dryness or sensitive internal use (research first, please) When To Never Use It Pregnancy (it induces labor) Castor Oil & Hormones As estrogen drops in perimenopause and menopause, skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic. This is where castor oil shines—literally and figuratively. It supports: Skin barrier repair Moisture retention Elasticity appearance That “spring back” we start to lose Is it Botox? No. Is it still amazing and affordable? Absolutely. Bottom Line Is castor oil a cure-all? Nope. Is it a potent, multi-use, low-risk tool? Yes. In a world where we're constantly sold $200 serums and complicated 12-step regimens, there's something refreshing about a humble glass bottle that's been used for centuries. If you try it: Buy organic Make sure it's in a dark glass bottle Patch test first Use cotton (preferably organic), not polyester, when covering treated areas And maybe—just maybe—pour it into something beautiful so you'll actually remember to use it. One More Thing Pretty Well was shared more than 94% of other shows in Spotify Wrapped this year. That's because of you. You share it. You text it. You send it to friends who need better information without the hype. And that means everything to me. If this episode helped you to decode the castor oil craze (or prevented you from putting it in your eyes), do me a favor and share it with a friend.

Guido Appenzeller half Larry Page und Sergej Brin bei ihrem Business-Plan für Google, gründete selbst und ist heute Partner beim wohl weltweit größten Wagniskapitalgeber Andreessen Horowitz. Im OMR Podcast erklärt der Deutsche, warum wir uns im größten Zyklus seit dem Dotcom-Boom befinden und wieso „Coding is dead“ für ihn kein Scherz ist. Während Europa noch reguliert, investiert er Milliarden in die Zukunft. Doch eine Sache lässt selbst den Experten zweifeln: Erleben wir gerade den Aufstieg der wertvollsten Firmen aller Zeiten – oder wird die massive Kapitalverbrennung in einem Knall enden, der die frühen Jahre des Internets erinnert?
China geht viral, wieder einmal: Nachdem 2025 die Labubus den Westen und das Internet erobert haben, ist jetzt ein neuer Trend entstanden, der auf folgende Formel gebracht werden kann: „You met me at a very chinese time in my life“.Westliche User, Influencer und Twitch-Streamer zeigen sich dabei, wie sie heißes Wasser trinken, chinesische Gerichte essen, Kaffeeketten aus China besuchen oder gleich in die Volksrepublik reisen, um von den pünktlichen Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen, der modernen Architektur, der E-Mobilität und der weit entwickelten Robotik zu schwärmen.Während der Westen schwächelt und das Antlitz des freundlichen US-Hegemons sehr grimmig ist, wird die chinesische Lebensart immer beliebter. Es ist deshalb wichtig, sich das Konzept von „Soft Power“ zu vergegenwärtigen, dem der Politikberater Joseph S. Nye 2004 ein eigenes Buch widmete. Was, wenn die Eroberung weniger durch Panzer als durch Plüschtiere und Popkultur vor sich geht?Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M.

I'm not stressed by AI itself. I'm stressed by the insatiable greed of those who profit from it, even if it means sacrificing large parts of the population. I'm also stressed about how ruthlessly it can be abused to cause deliberate harm.In this episode I'm not taking you into world of fire science, but rather into my own thoughts on how the AI revolution influences our lives. And I was influenced it just last week - through a phishing attack on the IAFSS, and through reading a very disturbing piece of fiction I found on the Internet...In the episode I comment on the targeted phishing attack against our association that used well-researched details and a cloned voice pulled from public audio. From there, we step into a stark forecast of near-term AI disruption in white-collar work. Agent teams can already write, review, and ship production code in loops, compressing time and cost while jolting stock prices across entire sectors the moment capabilities drop. Then we get specific about our field. Some tasks in fire safety are ripe for automation—code interpretation, routine calculations, device placement, and documentation—where speed and consistency help. But holistic fire strategy is contextual and slow to validate, with scarce, standardized case data and long feedback loops. Buildings are messy, multidisciplinary systems; that friction is a temporary moat against full automation. The larger risk may be macroeconomic: if AI compresses demand and margins across white-collar industries, construction cools, and safety work gets squeezed. Paradoxically, low digitalization in construction buys time, making it harder to train and deploy one-size-fits-all models.I'm still to large extent positive Fire Safety Engineering won't be directly disrupted at the same scale as Software Engineers got, but as a part of a larger ecosystem we won't be untouched either... I hope the version of the future that plays out is more optimistic than the one I got worried about.Read the Citrini piece here, if you have not yet: https://www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Pievēršamies filosofiskam un praktiskam jautājumam – vai šodien var ticēt tam, ko redzam? Ja lūkojamies sociālajos medijos, aizvien vairāk jūtam skepsi par to, vai redzētais attēls vai video ir īsts vai viltojums. Dziļviltojumu kvalitāte jau ir tik laba, ka dažubrīd par rūdīta acs vairs nevar noteikt, kas īsts un kas nav. Šobrīd dziļviltojumus izplata ne tikai politiski vai sociālie piesātinātā saturā, bet pat šķietami nekaitīgā dabas un zinātnes jomā, kas vēl vairāk liek domāt - kādus "caurumus" savās zināšanās varam netīšām "aizlāpīt" ar šādiem meliem. Kā saprast, vai video un attēli, ko redzam internetā ir īsti? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā analizē kiberincidentu novēršanas institūcijas "CERT.LV" kiberdrošības eksperts Gints Mālkalnietis un politologs, dezinformācijas pētnieks Mārtiņš Hiršs. Ierakstā uzklausām Rīgas Nacionalā Zooloģiskā dārza pārstāvi Māri Lielkalnu, kuram ikdienā jāskaidro dažādi patiesi un mazāk patiesi apgalvojumi par dabu un dzīvniekiem, video, kas radīti ar mākslīgā intelekta palīdzību. Arī savi medicīnas dati ir rūpīgi jāsargā Personas datu drošība pēdējos gados kļuvis par aizvien aktuālāku tematu. Eiropas Savienības Vispārīgā datu aizsardzības regula skar arī mūsu ikdienu, un, protams, ka mēs katrs vēlamies, lai informācija par mums nenonāktu tur, kur tai nav jānonāk. Bet, ja runājam par pacientu veselības datiem, tad tiem ir īpašs statuss. Tas saistīts ar medicīnas ētikā būtisko personas autonomijas principu un tiek saprasts kā divējādas tiesības - tiesības uz neiejaukšanos un privātuma sfēru, tostarp pacienta datu privātumu, un tiesības uz pašnoteikšanos, proti, pacienta tiesībām pieņemt lēmumu par datu lietojumu. Par veselības datu noplūdes riskiem un reāliem gadījumiem plašāk stāsta Latvijas Universitātes Klīniskās un profilaktiskās medicīnas institūta vadošais pētnieks Ivars Neiders. -- Ornitologs, Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības priekšsēdētājs Viesturs Ķerus iepazīstina ar lauka cīruli.

And it is dying. At least for us, humans. Our chatter and connection online is being overrun by bots — more than half of online activity is non-human.

Last week, Greta and I talked about the way that culturearound smart devices for kids has changed a lot in the last 10 years. At this point, most people are seeing the effect. We talked about screen time use. When is screen time helpful for kids? When is it hurtful? How do we have healthy limits without losing what's most important? Greta is going to tell us more about a family culture surrounding social media. How they have chosen to introduce it, and what to do if your 8-12-year-old is introduced to adult content on someone else's phone. But most of all, Greta reminds usthat God loves your kid more than you do, and his peace can guard your heart as you parent.

In this powerful episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia and Jake Rask, VP of Oval Business Solutions, for a conversation that connects championship-level discipline with dealership-level profitability! What does elite combat sports training have to do with running a successful car dealership? More than you think. "Training, role play, practice, drill, rehearse… the quick you get it done, the quicker you figure that out, the better off you're going to be." - Tim Sylvia This episode explores how the mindset, preparation, and strategic execution required to win at the highest levels of professional sports translate directly into leadership, performance, and financial optimization inside the automotive industry. The discussion moves beyond motivation and into real-world business impact… especially when it comes to identifying hidden financial leaks that most dealerships overlook. "The food tastes different if you sit at a table with winners." - Jake Rask Sean, Tim, and Jake dive into operational blind spots, financial awareness, and why dealerships must take a closer look at the systems quietly affecting their bottom line. It's not just about selling more cars, it's about protecting the profit you're already earning. "We truly want to build legacies. We are not in this just to make a quick buck." - Tim Sylvia If you're a dealer principal, general manager, sales manager, or automotive entrepreneur looking to tighten operations and strengthen profitability in 2026 and beyond, this episode delivers a perspective you won't hear anywhere else. Because sometimes the biggest wins don't happen on the showroom floor… they happen behind the scenes! Key Takeaways: ✅ Training and Discipline: Tim Sylvia emphasizes that success in both professional sports and business relies heavily on consistent training, discipline, and dedication. ✅ Operational Cost Savings: Oval Business Solutions offers car dealerships the opportunity to significantly reduce credit card processing fees, often saving tens of thousands annually. ✅ Strategic Partnerships: By leveraging a legacy contract, Oval Business Solutions provides unmatched rates in the market, helped by the strong partnerships and experience Jake Rask brings to the table. ✅ Personalized Services: The guests highlight their family-owned business approach, which guarantees personalized and reliable customer service, setting them apart from larger, impersonal corporations. ✅ Community Engagement: Tim Sylvia offers to visit client dealerships for promotional events, reflecting a commitment to building strong community and customer relationships. About Tim Sylvia Tim Sylvia is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion widely respected in the mixed martial arts (MMA) community for his impressive record and dedication to the sport. Over his career, he achieved notable victories and was known for his commitment to training and peak physical performance. Recently, Tim has embarked on a new journey in the automotive industry, bringing his champion mindset to Oval Business Solutions, where he is involved in strategic partnerships and development. About Jake Rask Jake Rask is the Vice President of Oval Business Solutions, a leading company with over 30 years of experience in credit card processing. With a background as a dealership principal and prior connections to major business figures, he offers expert insights into the complexities of credit card fee management, aiming to save dealerships substantial operational costs. Saving Dealers Big Bucks: Credit Card Fee Solutions Unveiled Key Takeaways Unseen savings opportunities exist within automotive dealership processes, particularly in credit card processing fees. These fees, if unchecked, can heavily impact profit margins. In both sports and business, honesty and dedication can separate the champions from the amateurs. This principle is echoed by former UFC Champion Tim Sylvia, who emphasizes hard work and honesty in whatever venture you undertake. Partnerships with seasoned professionals from diverse backgrounds, like those in the UFC, offer unique insights and solutions that can shift a dealership's financial trajectory. Leveraging Unseen Opportunities in Credit Card Processing In the competitive world of automotive sales, finding untapped resources for savings can be revolutionary. Sean V. Bradley and his guest, former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia, discuss a topic that often goes unnoticed—credit card processing fees. Sylvia, now an advocate for greater transparency in credit card processing through his partnership with Oval Business Solutions, highlights the significant impact these fees can have on a dealership's bottom line. "Just to pay for their stupid credit card fee," Sylvia points out, "they have to sell six cars." A startling realization when considering the average dealership's sales metrics, it illustrates how these hidden costs may significantly hinder financial growth. Instead of falling prey to these fees, dealers have the opportunity to reduce them by partnering with experts who understand the intricacies of the industry. By transitioning to strategies that prioritize transparency and efficiency, dealers could potentially recover thousands of dollars otherwise lost to excessive processing charges. This newfound capital can be reinvested into operations that drive advancement and success. The Importance of Training: Lessons from the Octagon Sylvia draws parallels between the dedication needed for professional sports and business success. His transition from a UFC champion to a formidable figure in the automotive credit card processing sphere underscores the significance of relentless training and discipline. "The quicker you get it done, the quicker you figure that out, the better off you're gonna be," Sylvia advises, a testament to how champions hone their skills—a process applicable beyond the ring. Dealers, much like athletes, must train continuously, embracing cutting-edge strategies and technologies to stay ahead. Dealers who invest in extensive training enjoy a tangible edge over competitors who rely on outdated practices. As highlighted further during the podcast, training should not end with just mastering sales tactics. It encompasses knowing every facet of the business, from customer interaction to financial strategies—ensuring every tax dollar saved and every sale made contribute significantly to the dealership's profitability. Collaboration Equals Innovation: Bridging Sports and Sales Bradley's podcast shines a light on innovative solutions born from unique collaborations between industries. Sylvia's partnership with Oval Business Solutions, supported by CEO Jake Rask, showcases how harnessing diverse expertise can redefine dealership success. Rask, drawing on his own experiences as a former dealer principal, provides invaluable insights into navigating the often murky waters of credit card processing fees. Rask affirms, "Your vibe attracts your tribe," emphasizing that surrounding oneself with winners cultivates a culture of success across all domains. In dealerships, this principle echoes the necessity of aligning with knowledgeable partners, not only for immediate savings but also for sustained growth potential. This convergence of sports discipline and business acumen can transform auto dealerships, offering creative new pathways to efficiency, profitability, and reputation management by utilizing connections of high esteem and diverse backgrounds. Dealerships seeking to seize these opportunities must consider the benefits of engaging with leaders who bring unique, field-tested experiences and fresh tactics to the table. Utilizing such collaborations in dealership settings furthers growth while substantially boosting the bottom line. By comprehensively exploring hidden savings, deploying relentless training principles, and engaging in strategic collaborations, dealerships can position themselves for enduring profitability and success. The takeaways from this dialogue provide crucial insights into how management can reshape organizational strategies, seizing untapped potentials often overlooked in the realms of financial logistics. With this understanding, stakeholders can initiate transformative changes to tackle both visible and unseen challenges, leading their dealerships toward a prosperous future in the automotive industry.

A Knee Recovery Nightmare! Right Total Knee Replacement My Physical and Emotional Fight Against Pain Hypersensitivity and Protective Muscle Guarding – written by Cathy Banovac – interview by Lisa Pelley and Mary Elliott – Cathy was coached by Erin Rempher, PTA My name is Cathy and I reside in Arizona. I am 57 years old, a homemaker, and have had a genetic history of chronic osteoarthritis. From a very young age, I have always had a very low pain threshold. Prior to the commencement of pain in my knee, I considered myself a fairly fit and active person…loved gardening, entertaining family and friends, cooking, crafting, playing golf, traveling with my husband, walking our dogs, and playing with our grandchildren. Life was good! Early Summer In addition to the normal aches and pains that come with aging, I began to experience more than usual pain in my right knee. I was experiencing daily occurrences of popping/clicking, giving out when walking at times, difficulty negotiating steps or stairs, and nightly interrupted sleep due to pain. Over the counter medications, icing, heat, etc. was no longer managing my symptoms. Upon visiting an orthopedic surgeon for examination and subsequent imaging, I learned I was over 70% bone on bone in my right knee joint. I was told I was looking at a total knee replacement. I was preparing to head to Michigan for a family vacation on the lake with my kiddos in August, so was not happy to hear this news. I convinced my doctor to give me a steroid injection just to buy me the time I needed to take my vacation. He was reluctant and told me that he predicted it would do nothing to help my condition at the very least or, at the very most, last for a brief time. I made it through the trip, yet 3 weeks post-injection the symptoms had returned. No More Injections My surgeon declined my request for another injection, instead reiterating my need for the TKR. Over previous years, I had witnessed my mother, father, husband and a few friends have knee replacement surgeries. All came through their surgeries with what appeared to me to be a fairly pain controlled, timely recovery and successful return to their regular daily activities. I was told I was on the younger side for this type of procedure, nevertheless, would greatly benefit from extended quality of life and return to desired activity, given my current quality of life and daily activity was becoming more diminished by the day. My Knee Replacement I underwent RTKR on September 25. All went well and as expected with the surgery. I was up and walking, began some light physical therapy exercises, and maintained post-op range and motion through use of a CPM while in hospital. I was discharged to home on the third day post-op, with a couple of narcotic pain medications (initially Percocet/Oxycodone and Morphine) and directions to commence in-home physical therapy the following day. My follow-up visit with the surgeon was scheduled for 6 weeks post-op. Day one at home began my challenging journey of recovery, both physically and emotionally. I experienced difficulty managing my pain even with narcotics and over the counter medications. My swelling was as expected and able to be kept in check with anti-inflammatory meds and icing. I experienced annoying side effects from the narcotics, i.e., headaches, nausea, constipation, and thus was bounced from one medication and dosage to another, none of which seemed to be the right combination or solution to my pain. Out of complete desperation and in uncontrollable pain, I went to the emergency room after being home for four days post-op, hoping to get some relief. A Problem with the Surgery? I thought surely there must be something wrong. A few hours later, together with a lecture from the hospital PT and some morphine, I was discharged back to home. Back on more medication, I failed to again find relief from pain. I was averaging about 2-3 hours of sleep per night and little sleep during the day. My home physical therapist had her work cut out for her. Over the next 4 weeks (twelve 45 min. sessions of in-home PT), I had yet to reach better than 85 degrees flexion and 10 degrees extension. My in-home therapist said she spent most of those 4 weeks strengthening my calves, hamstrings, and quad muscles, all which were extremely weak. Therefore, already I was approximately 4 weeks behind in range and motion advancement. My pain was still very much out of control, all while I feared becoming more and more dependent on the narcotics prescribed. At the first follow-up appointment (six weeks post-op), my flexion was below 90 degrees and extension still not at the zero degree mark. I was informed by my surgeon that I needed a Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA). My knee felt very stiff, pain was still unmanageable, and I was stuck without advancement in physical therapy. Manipulation Under Anesthesia He took x-rays and made sure the appliance was not loose or slipping out of placement. All was found to be in proper order and an examination found no infection that could be causing pain or other symptoms. My surgeon had done his job. I was told however, that he believed I was stuck due to scar tissue build-up and thus was in need of the MUA to break up the scar tissue. This would also permit the ability to continue physical therapy, working towards achievement of the desirable degree of range and motion outcomes. I underwent the MUA six weeks and one day post-op and immediately resumed PT the following day. I was told not to worry about a reduction in my flexion and extension after having the MUA. An MUA tends to put patients back about 3-4 weeks, so it is almost like starting all over again. However, the idea is that advancement in range and motion should become easier now that the scar tissue has been broken up by the procedure. I went to PT for 5 days in a row the first week following the MUA, did my home exercises faithfully on my own twice a day, then returned to PT three times a week for the next several weeks. After the MUA At the two week follow-up appointment post the MUA, I was still in unmanageable pain, still getting only 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, and running every gamut of emotion and temperament. My poor husband was beside himself and wondering whatever became of the woman he married 27 years ago. My flexion was still only reaching in the low 90's and my extension was no better either. I was still experiencing great sensitivity to the touch anywhere on or around my surgical knee. I couldn't stand wearing pants or having any sheet or blanket covering my knee. My pain was the worst at night, just when I was settling in for some restful moments on the couch watching TV with my husband. I would suddenly be lifted off my seat with either pain that mimicked touching a lit match to my knee, or the stabbing of a knife, or the shock of a taser. Dealing with the Pain This pain varied and sometimes was relentless for several minutes. I was in tears most evenings and headed to bed to ice or apply heat, which calmed the nerve pain somewhat. I would take meds (Hydrocodone/Norco, Extra-Strength Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Zofran (for nausea) Vitamins, a stool softener (due to Hydrocodone) and Gabapentin aka Neurontin. I was soooo sick of taking medications. I think my surgeon was beside himself as to how to control my pain and sensitivity, therefore, he recommended I seek help at a Pain Management Clinic for possible sympathetic blocks, as well as my medicinal pain management. Both he and my physical therapist told me I was forecasting pain neurologically before any exerted physical effort on their part was made to cause any pain. My intolerance for any amount of pain was prohibiting any measurable progress in my range and motion, thus scar tissue was building at a rapid pace. Physical therapy continued to be a challenge as I protective muscle guarded any force applied by my therapist to get better R&M. I cried through most of my sessions. Pain Management At my first appointment with the Pain Management Clinic, I met with the doctor. Most people have sympathetic blocks in their back to relieve nerve pain, but the doctor I was referred to chose to recommend a Genicular Neurotomy, accomplished through a procedure called Coolief Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation. I first underwent a test which involved Lidocaine injections in four areas surrounding my new knee. The patient then logs their pain and activities over the following 72 hours. A follow-up appointment with a Nurse Practitioner then reviews the log and determines eligibility for the ablation procedure. At this appointment she chose to cut my medication cold-turkey for a couple of days as she deemed I was dependent on them, even though I was getting little pain control. I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms for two days. A Change in Medication I thought I was going to go out of my mind. A change in my medication increased the Gabapentin I was taking, and I was found to be eligible for the ablation. I underwent that procedure approximately 6 weeks post my first MUA, just before the Thanksgiving holiday. I was told that I would still be experiencing pain for approximately 4-6 weeks, due to the fact that the ablation was going to make my nerves “angry” as they fought their temporary death. I was also informed that this procedure is temporary as nerve endings most often regenerate themselves over a 6 month to 2 year period. Some patients must undergo two or three of these procedures to get lasting relief. Unhappy News This was not happy news to my ears, yet I was still desperate for relief and reaching out for anything, and I mean anything, that would control my pain. I returned to the pain clinic for a follow-up to the ablation procedure only to report pain still very bad and that I was still taking a boatload of medication, icing, heat to quad muscles to relieve cramping, and poor results in physical therapy sessions. I was told to give it more time and come back in a few more weeks. At my next follow-up approximately 3 weeks later, I discharged myself from the Pain Management Clinic. I felt that their treatment plan was not successful for me and they had no other plan to offer other than continued reliance on prescription medication and time. When recovery goes wrong – Read More A Desparate Time After barely getting through the Christmas holidays, persisting in physical therapy and weaning myself down on prescription medications (since they didn't seem to be having any great effect on my pain), I began to explore the possibility of medical marijuana as a solution to my pain control. I have never tried marijuana and had little desire to smoke or vape it, but was interested in edibles they have out now. I was desperate and finding myself sinking into anxiety, panic attacks and, at times, depression. My family and my husband were becoming very concerned as I was changing into a person they did not know and they were at a loss as how to help me through my circumstances. Medical Marijuana Since medical marijuana is legal in the State of Arizona, I sought out a doctor with whom I met and applied for a patient card. This process took approximately 3 weeks, including approval of my application through the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services. Upon receiving my card, I met with a licensed nurse at a dispensary to become educated about the various products and my specific needs. She was recommended by the doctor who signed off on my patient eligibility and works with a number of cancer patients to help control their symptoms. We met for over an hour. She was extremely patient with me, educating me about cannabis (which I knew little of) and gave me recommendations to try. I purchased three of her recommendations. I also decided to try getting a light massage once per week. The massages lasted for approximately three weeks before I decided to suspend them, as I found them not helpful enough to warrant the expense. Little if Any Improvement Having done everything I was asked to do in my recovery and still making little if any gains, I found myself in a very dark place emotionally, desperate to end my pain, and I was done!! One day, I was occupying my time, in between home therapy and out-patient therapy sessions, searching the Internet for anything that might literally save me. When in answer to my prayer, I came across several website postings about a therapy called X10. I shared some of it with my husband, my parents and my kids. They encouraged me to explore it more. After reading some of the patient blogs and watching a few of the videos that I could access, I made my first contact with PJ Ewing by emailing him. PJ responded very quickly telling me that the X10 Therapy and machine was not yet available in the State of Arizona, but he provided me with some other resources. I was initially devastated by this news, but I almost immediately decided that I was not going to accept that response. I instantly thought to myself, “Well, if it is not available in AZ, then maybe I can travel to wherever it is available. Not Taking ‘No’ for an Answer This time, I placed a phone call to PJ and we talked for over an hour. As it so happened, in our conversation I discovered that the X10 headquarters is in Franklin, MI, and I had family who lived in Rochester, MI. PJ was more than gracious in discussing all the parameters and specifics of the possibility of travel to Michigan to undergo the X10 program. To say the least, after completion of my discussion with PJ, I heard God say “Not yet, Cathy, I still have a plan for you on this earth.” I discussed the possibilities with my husband and shared them also with my son and daughter-in-law, exploring their permission to have me as a houseguest for 2-3 weeks. Of course, they couldn't have been more gracious and welcoming. Pain Still a Big Problem My pain was still out of control, I continued out patient PT three times a week with slow or little advancement in my R&M, had my six week MUA follow-up with my surgeon only to be told I was facing a second MUA. I told my surgeon and my physical therapist about the X10 Therapy website I had discovered, and PJ sent me the clinical data to share with them. Each of them, I am grateful to say, told me they had looked at the data and were “intrigued” by the therapy plan. Both encouraged me to pursue it as an option for me, yet both also strongly indicated that enough time had passed between my first MUA and the ablation, therefore, still recommended I have the second MUA before commencing X10 Therapy. Turning to X10 Therapy after a Second MUA Once my husband and I had made the decision to pursue this plan, the wheels began to roll quickly. Initially, I scheduled the 2nd MUA and a flight out from Phoenix to Detroit by myself the next day following the MUA. I notified PJ of my plans and he began to put things in motion by placing me in contact with Mary Elliott, Melissa, Mike, a therapy Coach, Erin a Physical Therapist, and Marty, a technician for machine home delivery and set-up. The X10 Therapy approach is really a “team” approach to wellness, in addition to the machine itself and the technological programs it delivers to the patient. The Second MUA Was Coming Up As the days approached the 2nd MUA, I became extremely anxious and experienced a couple of panic attacks. I began to stress about the MUA pain, having gone through one already. The thought of flying alone, even though my son would be there to meet me at the other end of my flight, and having to get through a 4 hour flight plus 1 hour car ride to his home in pain, had me scared beyond belief. I was consumed with thinking about how I would manage my pain. Should I just knock myself out to sleep on the plane? What if that didn't work? What meds could I then take if in pain? What about my leg position – straightening and bending? How would I get help from curb, through security, to gate, onto plane and the same again when arriving including a stop at baggage claim? How am I going to sleep at night? Is this therapy going to put me back in unmanageable pain again, even though the X10 Therapy information says I am in control? What if it doesn't work? Can this end my knee recovery nightmare? And on and on and on…! Making Plans After talking it over with my husband and doctor, it was decided that I would delay my trip to Michigan for one week following the 2nd MUA. I would continue outpatient PT immediately following the MUA, but have some time to consult with a psychologist concerning my sleep depravation, fears, anxiety/depression and develop a plan to manage my pain, as well as talk to the airline for special assistance to help solve my transportation needs. My husband decided to make the trip with me for a couple of days, just to get me settled and started with X10 Therapy. Armed with a revised medication and travel plan, I notified the X10 Team of my change in start date and all were extremely understanding and accommodating. I had the 2nd MUA on January 18. I continued outpatient PT for three more sessions, in addition to my own home exercises twice per day. My daily sleep and pain control was managed better and I was counting the days until our departure date. It simply could not arrive fast enough! Friday, January 19 This will remain a very important and pivotable day in my life. My journey towards healing, life anew and well-being would begin that very day. Having endured a comfortable flight and having managed all the transportation arrangements with ease (kudos to Delta Airlines), we arrived at my son's home ready to commence what I can now claim as my own personal miracle. Within an hour, Marty arrived with a smile, this technological marvel known as the X10 machine, and a thorough first orientation/training session filled with words of encouragement and confidence. I was on my way, although until I began to see results (which were really displayed within that first session), I Had Hope I was still cautiously optimistic about where I was headed. Could I really achieve the flexion and extension goals I was unable to achieve thus far with any of my existing recovery methods? Would this therapy really enable me to manage my pain comfortably with mild medications? Could I trust my X10 therapist and her plan for me? Would the X10 team really be there for me when I needed them? Was the X10 therapy the answer to my prayers? Would I really be returning home in as little as just over 2 weeks time to see my surgeon's and physical therapist's jaws drop as they witnessed my flexion and extension reach what we all thought would be skeptical results, but instead blow them away with incredible success? It would not be long before I could actually acknowledge to myself that the answers to each of those questions would be a resounding YES! 110º Flexion Once I was able to reach the 110 degree mark for flexion, it was decided that I would add 5 min a day on the stationery bike. As I felt comfortable, I was able to increase that time in small increments and add another bike session in the evening. While my progress was measurable daily, I did experience some cramping in my right thigh and calf, dealt with some bursitis in my right hip for about two weeks, and waking with some right leg pain some nights. Taking Care of Myself I found icing and elevating regularly after each exercise session, icing my hip, heat on my upper thigh at night, Tramadol 50 mg. only twice a day with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen alternated during the day, and Theraworx Relief foam massaged in the cramping areas once or twice a day helped keep my discomfort manageable. In addition, I spent some resting time researching dietary recommendations for inflammation and pain. I incorporated tumeric, magnesium, Osteo Bi-flex, 100% Cherry or Pineapple Juice, Vitamin B6 & B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, fresh berries and decaffeinated tea with ginger, lemon and honey in my daily diet. I also decided to limit carbohydrates and sugar intake in an effort to keep my inflammatory response in check. One Week In After one week on the X10 and with constant reassurance and communication from all of my X10 team, I could actually begin to call this journey and the X10 Therapy my miracle. I had breached the 100's for flexion after starting at 55 degrees, and reached 0 degrees at the end of the first session on my extension, previously at 8 degrees. My fears, anxiety and uncertainty soon gave way to renewed love for life, joy at gaining confidence in doing daily activities again, sharing my daily success by telephone with family and friends, and hope for the future. The almost daily contact from one or more of my X10 team members answered any questions that arose, provided authentic cheerleading for my cause, and motivated me to press on for better and better results. Working with My Coach Mary called often to check in with me and was my calm and steady encourager. My conversations with her were uplifting and kind of like talking to an old friend, casual and comforting. My PT, Erin, made a home visit to discuss my history and offered varied strategies for increasing my flexion degrees, as well as made adjustments in my therapy plan due to some bursitis that I had recently developed in my right hip. She was careful to make the appropriate adjustments to my therapy plan. She and Mike (my strengthening coach and with whom I also met in person to go over exercises), together modified my plan by delaying some of the exercises, while still permitting three sessions a day for range and motion growth. Conclusions As I approach my last day of sessions on the X10 Therapy machine and a return home to Arizona tomorrow, I write my story to encourage anyone who has experienced one or more of the circumstances that I experienced subsequent to a total knee replacement. I am happy to report that I was successful in breaking through some of my scar tissue, reaching 0 degrees for my extension and 117 degrees flexion. My gait is much improved and, as I have returned to walking without a limp or dragging my surgical leg, the pain in my hip and lower back has also improved greatly. My knee recovery nightmare has finally come to an end. Some Rehab Insurance I will continue outpatient therapy immediately upon my return home in order to solidify my current range and motion, and even further improve my flexion as I am able. I write this also as a means of paying it forward to future patients of the X10 and in grateful appreciation to my X10 Team, my family and my friends who affirmed, guided, encouraged, and yes, celebrated, my X10 Therapy journey of success. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding, which is said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it. I absolutely cannot wait to share my experience and demonstrate my range and motion achievement in person to my surgeon and PT Team back home in Arizona.

Two years ago, in episode #64 of The Green Room, we asked the question 'How do we stay safe online?' Since then, progress has been made. Businesses, tech leaders, governments and wider society have taken the time to understand the 'how' and have moved on to the 'do'. Some countries have started taking steps to ban under-16s from all major social media platforms, while the UK has rolled our further developments in its Online Safety Act, bringing in new legislation that aims to protect both children and adults. But in digital spaces, progress rarely moves in a straight line, and it can feel like every meaningful step forward is matched with a new threat that pushes us backwards. In just two short years, the use of generative AI has become widespread. And while the technology has the potential to make us more productive and creative, it's also armed bad actors with new ways to spread misinformation, share upsetting content, and develop nefarious scams – all of which pose serious risks, not just to children and young people but to adults and businesses too. So, how far have we really come in making the internet a secure and empowering space for everyone? Are things improving? Or just changing? How do we strike the right balance between protection and privacy? And what role can businesses and individuals play in keeping up with new technology to create an internet that is safe and valuable for everyone? That's what we're exploring with Cosima Wiltshire, Director at FlippGen, and James Smith, Head of Trust & Safety at Deloitte, as we ask: Is the internet getting safer? Tune in to find out: Why has the conversation around digital safety increased? What significant developments in online protection have occurred in the last two years?

In the news cycle, an elderly woman attempting to poison her husband would have garnered a pretty small amount of attention from the press, then faded away when a larger story came along. But it didn't take long for the press to learn that the poisoning of Melissa Ann Shepard's new husband wasn't the first time she had been suspected or convicted of attempted murder. In fact, Melissa Ann Shepard had a criminal history in two countries that went back decades, including many crimes that were very similar to the one she had just perpetrated only with a much worse outcome.

Send a textThis week it's just Peaches and Trent doing what they do best—talking shop, talking trash, and pulling back the curtain on real-world military experience.Trent just wrapped a full-blown hostage rescue film project with helicopters, free fall, K9 bites, Rangers, and 16-hour days. No Hollywood fluff—just a bunch of former SOF dudes trying to pull off a legit tactical production without a billion-dollar budget. If you've ever wondered what goes into recreating real operations on camera, this is it.They also dive into Olympic drama, speed skating carnage, the new D-Day weather movie, why special operations weather actually mattered in WWII, and whether declassified alien files are about to break the internet—or disappoint everyone.It's equal parts military ops, filmmaking chaos, veteran brain health, OTS prep pressure, and calling out internet keyboard warriors who demand resumes in the comments.No script. No filter. Just experience talking.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Fake beef and member-only chaos 02:10 Olympic wins, corrections, and owning mistakes 07:30 Speed skating carnage and real-world consequences 13:15 Off-grid week and building a hostage rescue film 18:40 Helicopters, K9 bites, and herding Rangers 27:00 Why Hollywood takes a week to shoot what SOF did in hours 31:00 Internet critics demanding credentials 34:20 D-Day weather nerds and WWII decision pressure 41:30 Accents, acting, and military movies done right 44:45 OTS pressure, expectations, and delivering value 48:50 Deliberate training and managing stress blocks 50:45 Alien files and declassification hype 52:30 Playing the bad guy and tactical filmmaking mindset
