Matt and AJ talk NFL, recap last night's high school football action, the development at Millard North, a MEGA matchup in 8-man football tonight, we analyze Matt's friendship with Austin.
This one's a bit different. It's shorter, and it's about a film that doesn't exist yet. Christopher Jacobsen is an actor and filmmaker, and full disclosure, the brother of one of my good friends. He's trying to get a documentary made about Daragh O'Malley, who played Sergeant Patrick Harper in Sharpe.Daragh and Sean Bean were the only two actors in every episode, from 1993 to 2008. Chris grew up a huge Sharpe fan. In 2021 he and his filmmaking partner Marco sent Daragh a short film script. Daragh said yes, and a friendship followed, along with a lot of two-hour phone calls.The spine of the documentary is Daragh's friendship with Marlon Brando. In 1995 the two were cast in Divine Rapture, alongside Johnny Depp, Debra Winger and John Hurt. Two weeks into the shoot the money fell apart and production shut down for good. Daragh and Brando stayed friends. Daragh took him for his first pint of Guinness in a rural Irish pub, kept his voicemails, and still has thirty or forty minutes of largely unseen Divine Rapture footage. There's plenty more.Six months in a cabin with Hugh Grant and Bill Nighy on Grant's first job. Swapping Brando stories with Ron Perlman, who'd survived The Island of Dr. Moreau. Pete Postlethwaite brushing his teeth with lager on the Sharpe shoot. A family connection to Richard Harris. And the angry Irishman in the pub in Withnail and I. Chris is raising £7,000 for the first shoot.That's a week in Ireland with Daragh, visiting places tied to Divine Rapture and his early life, and a week in London interviewing the people who knew him. The kit is already covered. The money pays for flights, fuel, a car and an extra crew member. I've been on the other side of this. The Joe Alves documentary got to Martha's Vineyard and LA because people listening to this podcast chipped in. If you can spare the price of a coffee or a pint, send it Chris's way.

For decades, nuclear war has represented the ultimate doomsday scenario. But investigative journalist and author Annie Jacobsen says biological warfare may pose an even greater overall threat. Unlike nuclear weapons, which require tightly controlled materials, enormously expensive delivery systems, and specialized expertise, the barriers to developing biological weapons can be far lower. And artificial intelligence could lower them further.Ian Bremmer sits down with Jacobsen to discuss how AI is changing the landscape of catastrophic risk. As increasingly powerful models make sophisticated scientific knowledge easier to access, they could allow bad actors to bypass years of specialized training and dramatically shorten the path from an idea to a potentially dangerous capability.They also explore the struggle to govern a technology developing faster than regulators can respond, the gaps in existing AI safeguards, and what governments and tech companies could do to identify dangerous vulnerabilities before they are exploited. And they step back to a larger question at the heart of Jacobsen's work: Why does humanity keep developing technologies with the potential to threaten its own survival – and can our ability to manage those risks ever catch up with our ability to create them?

As the Fed begins its interest rate meeting, Brian Jacobsen believes we will get a rate hike even though he thinks the FOMC should hold. He adds that a hike will be more about "symbolism" instead of "substance" to show U.S. investors the Fed remains independent. Brian explains why he sees a hike adding more headwinds for U.S. consumers. In equities, he expects a greater market pullback following rallies across tech during earnings season. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Christian Jacobsen, Founder and Managing Partner, and Damien Eley, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of agency The Many, join Darren to discuss why modern marketing needs an operating philosophy built around how culture actually works, rather than how agencies organise themselves. The traditional categories of creative, media, social, and experiential were built for legacy campaign models, but modern audiences experience brands as one fluid ecosystem. As artificial intelligence commoditises persuasion and accelerates execution, the real differentiator for brands is shifting toward human participation, community, and co-creation. The conversation explores why persuasion is becoming automated, how live and experiential activations provide proof of humanity in a synthetic world, and why the agency of the future must operate like a flywheel rather than a leaky funnel. They also discuss why exceptional creative judgment and taste matter more than ever when technology makes "average" dramatically easier to achieve.

Hver mandag kan vi byde velkommen til ugens podcast, der tager afsæt i folk der bor, har boet eller er flyttet til Frederikshavn kommune. Det er en serie, hvor jeg forsøger at tegne et portræt af min gæst, samtidig med at jeg prøver at dokumentere lokalhistorie med personlige beskrivelser fra en tidslomme fra fortiden. I dag har jeg besøg af Eydun Jacobsen, som er født og opvokset på Færøerne, men har boet i Frederikshavn i 11 år. I en periode var han Fyrpasser på Hirtsholmene, og han har også arbejdet på Frederikshavn Værft, og været både frivillig og ansat i lokalradioen, da forskellige kirker havde ansvaret i 80'erne. Eydun er et kristent menneske, og troen betyder meget for ham og hans familie. Han er også musiker og har udgivet en del plader og flere singler, mest med gospel og country. Eydun har også haft sygdom inde på livet, da han fik en blodprop i hjernen i 2010, men blev helbredt med et mirakel. Vi skal høre meget mere om Eyduns liv indtil nu, og hvordan han vendte stærkt tilbage efter at have været delvist lammet i venstre side. For tilrettelæggelse Gitte Hansen
Biological War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen is the subject of this spoiler book review from No Limits: The Thriller Podcast. Chris and Mike break down Jacobsen's terrifying nonfiction scenario about an engineered biological weapon, a fast-moving plague, and the systems meant to stop a global catastrophe.How does Biological War compare with Nuclear War: A Scenario? Does Annie Jacobsen successfully combine deeply researched journalism with the propulsive pacing of a thriller—or does the book's apocalyptic vision become too bleak to feel believable?—
AJ enters the chat to talk high school football, how much they want to see Anthony Colandrea run the ball this season, and which games you need to watch tonight.
On today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, Ryan Jacobsen, CEO of the Fresno County Farm Bureau, returned for Part 2 of a wide-ranging conversation about the future of California agriculture. From predators and agricultural education to healthy food and the next generation of farmers, Jacobson's message was ultimately one of optimism. One concern is the growing pressure from predators. Jacobsen said California is already struggling to properly manage wolves, mountain lions and black bears, and questioned proposals to even study the reintroduction of grizzly bears before the state addresses existing wildlife conflicts. But much of the conversation focused on the next generation. Jacobsen strongly advocated for programs such as FFA, 4-H and agricultural technical education. He said those programs give students hands-on experience while developing skills ranging from public speaking and leadership to welding, mechanics and business. With shortages of skilled workers in many trades, Jacobsen believes expanding those opportunities can benefit agriculture and the broader economy. The discussion also turned to the growing emphasis on healthier food. Jacobsen, who is now a raisin grower himself, said he is optimistic that renewed interest in nutrition could create opportunities for California-grown fruits and vegetables. “I'm bullish or hopeful that through trying to make people eat healthy again, that raisins are a big part of that,” Jacobsen said. He also stressed the importance of clearly identifying California-grown products, particularly when food safety concerns involving products from elsewhere can negatively affect California farmers. Despite the many challenges discussed throughout the two-part interview, Jacobsen ended on an optimistic note. “I'm bullish on California agriculture. I'm bullish on the American farmer,” Jacobsen said. “We have so many opportunities to continue to feed this nation.” That may be the biggest takeaway from the conversation: California agriculture faces serious challenges, but Jacobsen believes the industry is still worth fighting for.

Change is inevitable, but apparently at some orgs, explaining it to people is optional! In this episode, I'm joined by Kaity Jacobsen (Director, Talent Engagement at Xactly) to talk about why leaders keep obsessing over all these sexy strategies while treating change management like HR's annoying little side quest. We get into AI agents, broken trust, typical corporate chaos, and why no robot is ever going to save you from having an actual convo with your employees about any of this stuff. Tragic, I know! With Shapes, people management looks completely different. Think AI agents handling the routine, a secure HR core, and the ability to build any people tool your org needs, just by describing it in plain english in their built in Shapes Vibe studio.

Det er august. Der er fem måneder til VM i Tyskland, og sæsonen er så småt ved at gå i gang. Vi kørte til Thurø syd for Svendborg og satte os ned med landstræneren en formiddag i hans køkken. Ikke for at gennemgå en trup eller høre om en forestående slutrunde. Men for at tale om håndbolden som fag. Det blev en sommersamtale om tyve år som træner. Om titlerne og EM-guldet i Herning i januar. Men også om hvad det danske hold egentlig kan, og hvordan man kan blive ved med at udvikle den vinderkultur, der i den grad kender det danske herrelandshold. Til sidst kiggede vi frem mod VM, hvor Danmark spiller sin indledende gruppe i Kiel. Mød landstræner Nikolaj Jacobsen her.

The Pentagon ranks biological warfare as a greater threat than nuclear war — and investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen spent years finding out why. The Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Nuclear War joins Newt Gingrich to discuss her new book, Biological War: A Scenario, which charts the terrifying hours and days following a lab leak at Russia's Vector Institute. Jacobsen reveals how a Soviet-era "super plague" engineered with a euphoria gene could spread across six continents in days, why 3,500 BSL-3 labs worldwide represent a ticking clock, and what COVID failed to teach us about preparedness. Most chillingly, she exposes the classified U.S. government "Devolution Plan" — a secret continuity program designed to preserve the government underground while society collapses above. Her reporting is a warning — and a call to action before the next lab leak makes the scenario real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Imagine, if you will, that for unknown reasons North Korea has just launched a nuclear bomb at the United States. What happens next? The journalist Annie Jacobsen has imagined exactly that, and spent more than a decade interviewing dozens of experts while mastering the voluminous literature on the subject — some of it declassified only in recent years — for her 2024 book “Nuclear War: A Scenario,” which walks readers through the 72 minutes from launch to global annihilation. In the Book Review, Barry Gewen said the book was “gripping” and declared it essential reading “if you want to understand the complex and disturbing details that go into a civilization-destroying decision.” Jacobsen now has another book out: “Biological War: A Scenario.” Our critic Dwight Garner wrote in his review that it “moves like a meteor.” For this week's episode, we revisit the conversation the host Gilbert Cruz had with Jacobsen last year, in which she discussed why she wrote “Nuclear War,” and how she managed to compile so many details about topics that are among the most secret in the world.

Our good friend Austin Jacobsen joins us this Friday to talk some Nebraska fall camp and updates at the University as well as updates on High School sports.
Modern agriculture needs more than farmers—it needs skilled professionals who understand technology, food processing, automation, marketing and the rapidly changing demands of the agricultural industry. On the latest edition of the AgNet News Hour, “The Ag Meter” Nick Papagni and Sir Josh McGill spoke with Cody Jacobsen, Dean of Agriculture and Industrial Technology at Merced College, about how the college is preparing students for those opportunities. Jacobsen highlighted Merced College's strong connections with California high schools and FFA programs. The college hosts statewide FFA competitions, welding finals and other agricultural contests while bringing students onto campus to experience its facilities and interact with industry partners. Those visits can open students' eyes to careers they may not have previously considered, including drone operations, food processing, packaging, automation and advanced agricultural technology. One of the standout programs is the college's food processing and innovation work. Students can develop and test products while experimenting with different packaging formats and learning how marketing influences consumer purchasing decisions. Jacobsen said Central Valley employers continue to need skilled workers, making industry-driven training an important part of Merced College's mission. Jacobsen also discussed plans to keep the college ahead of industry trends. Merced College is developing an agricultural technology and food systems bachelor's degree, with a goal of having the program available by 2028. The program is designed to give students practical skills they can take directly into the workforce while preparing them for the increasing use of technology in agriculture. The interview also addressed the importance of agricultural education in California. Jacobsen said the state needs to continue educating students, the public and policymakers about agriculture while ensuring that programs remain connected to the realities facing farmers and businesses. He emphasized that Merced College's facilities and programs benefit not only students but the broader regional economy. Technology was another major theme. The hosts discussed the rapid growth of agricultural drones, automation, precision farming and other tools. Jacobsen's philosophy is to train students on the technology farmers and agricultural businesses are using today—not equipment from decades ago. The Ag Meter team also noted that growers increasingly need technology that can provide a practical return on investment within a season or two. For families and students considering an agricultural career, the message is clear: agriculture offers far more opportunities than traditional farming alone. From food processing and marketing to drones, automation and advanced technology, Merced College is working to prepare the next generation for those careers. Listen to the full interview with Cody Jacobsen on The AgNet News Hour to hear more about Merced College's innovative programs and the future of agricultural education.

The latest AgNet News Hour with Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter,” and Josh McGill takes listeners inside one of the most innovative agricultural education programs in California. The program features an in-depth conversation with Cody Jacobsen, Dean of Agriculture and Industrial Technology at Merced College, who explains how the college is preparing students for the rapidly changing world of farming, food processing, automation and agricultural technology. Jacobsen says Merced College is experiencing record enrollment, with more than 22,000 students expected on campus and nearly every agriculture class at capacity. The college is combining traditional hands-on farming education with advanced technology, giving students opportunities to work with tractors, orchards, livestock and crops while also learning drone operations, robotics, automation and other emerging technologies. One of the college's most impressive projects is a new 22,000-square-foot food processing facility featuring meat processing, tree nut processing, fresh-market produce, nutrition and product development capabilities, along with a retail farm market. The facility will include advanced equipment such as optical sorters, X-ray systems, metal detection, automated packaging and palletizing systems. Merced College is also expanding its working farm. Students have access to a 10-acre almond block developed with the Almond Board of California, stone fruit acreage supported by nursery partners, table grapes and approximately 35 acres of row crops. Jacobsen emphasizes that students learn by getting into the field, working with industry professionals and developing practical skills that cannot be learned from a textbook alone. Technology is a major part of that future. The college recently conducted a pilot project comparing winter wheat planted by drone with wheat planted using a traditional grain drill. Students are being trained to understand both approaches, preparing them for farms ranging from conventional operations to highly automated businesses. Jacobsen also discusses his own Central Valley farming background. Raised on a sheep ranch, educated at Fresno State and a former high school agriculture teacher, he farms almonds himself. That experience helps him bring real-world knowledge of farming, livestock, irrigation, equipment, economics and business directly into his work at the college. Industry partnerships are another key component. Merced College works with organizations including the Almond Board of California, Toro, Duarte Nursery, Sunridge and Dave Wilson Nursery, while companies such as Pacific Farm Management provide hands-on instruction in planting, irrigation and field development. The discussion also explores why technical education may become increasingly important as AI and automation reshape the workforce. Nick and Josh emphasize that students should have the opportunity to pursue careers they are passionate about without automatically assuming a four-year university is the only path to success. There is much more to this conversation, along with the latest agriculture news and insights from across California and the nation.

What keeps national security experts up at night? For Annie Jacobsen, the answer comes in two terrifying forms: weapons that can end civilization in hours, and weapons that can spread invisibly through the air. In Biological War: A Scenario and Nuclear War: A Scenario, Jacobsen draws on deep reporting and expert interviews to show how fragile our safeguards really are—and why the most catastrophic threats are often the ones most people prefer not to think about. It's a bracing look at deterrence, preparedness, and the thin line between worst-case scenario and real-world possibility.

Kann ein Politiker in der Öffentlichkeit gegen etwas sein und privat darauf zurückgreifen? Diese Frage beschäftigt gerade unsere Nachbarn in Deutschland. Denn während der ehemalige CDU-Gesundheitsminister Jens Spahn, öffentlich in der Vergangenheit gegen die Leihmutterschaft aufgetreten ist, hat er gemeinsam mit seinem Partner genau so jetzt ein Kind bekommen. Mit einer Leihmutter aus den USA. Spahn musste inzwischen seinen Posten räumen. Doppelmoral oder sollte die Politik vom Privatleben stärker getrennt werden? Darüber sprechen wir heute mit Lenz Jacobsen, er arbeitet für die Zeit im politischen Feuilleton in Berlin und ist Podcast-Co-Host von "Servus. Grüezi. Hallo".
Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist for Annex Wealth Management, says there are signs of a broad-based economic expansion, which gives him a "fairly constructive outlook for the economy over the next six to 12 months," though he is concerned about policy shocks that could unsettle things. Jacobsen warns that investors should not be too excited about situations where the general feeling is "It could have been worse," such as recent inflation numbers or the impact of the war in Iran, but they should take some positivity from the Federal Reserve and its new chairman Kevin Warsh, who Jacobsen says doesn't really want "to pump the brakes on this economy" any time soon. Scott Brown, chief strategist at Brown Technical Insights, says that the stock market just lived through the best second quarter ever for a midterm election year, which is a bullish sign for the rest of the year and getting through the standard troubles that come in midterm years. Brown says there is upside potential "but you want to be careful about where you are looking for it," warning that semiconductor names are correcting and that there is more downside risk there. Instead, he is looking at industrials, health care and financials as areas with positive potential. In The NAVigator, Ray DiBernardo, portfolio manager for the XAI Madison Equity Premium Income fund, says the stock market's high valuation levels have increased downside risk, making it that nervous investors should consider covered-call strategies, which trade some of the market's potential upside for downside protection. For nervous investors, DiBernardo says the options strategy acts like portfolio insurance, but that it is particularly attractive in the closed-end fund wrapper where covered-call funds generally are at a discount with the market near highs; that discount helps to make up for the upside potential investors surrender when choosing the strategy. In the Market Call, Brian Frank, manager of the Frank Value Fund, talks about absolute-value investing, noting that "nothing in the tech sector really is cheap" on an absolute basis, which has him looking more towards consumer staples and other areas that he says are trading at a discount. he also discusses the important of not just buying stocks on the cheap but having a potential catalyst to unlock that value.

In Episode 358 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy welcomes Mitch Jacobsen, Founder and CEO of Rviita Inc., back to the show for a powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, faith, and the resilience required to build something from nothing. Mitch shares his journey from petroleum engineer to beverage entrepreneur, risking his student line of credit, spending two years developing a product that initially finished dead last in a blind taste test, and ultimately growing Rviita Energy Tea into a nationally recognized Canadian brand.Kelly and Mitch explore the realities behind the entrepreneurial highlight reel, the rollercoaster of building a company, and why perseverance may be more important than intelligence. From burnout and failure to scaling with strong core values and refusing to quit when the path forward feels impossible, this episode is an honest conversation about the years of work behind meaningful success and the faith required to begin before you know exactly how the story will end.Key Takeaways: Perseverance may be the most important skill an entrepreneur can develop.You do not need to know every step before you start, you just need to take the first one.Small actions repeated consistently can compound into extraordinary progress.Failure only becomes final when you decide to quit.Entrepreneurship is a long game, not a shortcut to overnight success.The greatest reward of building a business is often the impact you have on others.Constant one, two, and three percent improvements can completely transform a product over time.Core values become increasingly important as a company grows and scales.You will likely overestimate what you can accomplish in a year and underestimate what you can accomplish in a decade.Faith may give you the courage to begin, but resilience is what keeps you moving when the journey gets hard.Get in Touch with Mitch JacobsenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitch-jacobsen-p-eng-89277649/Rviita Contact: https://rviitalize.com/pages/contact-us
Skin cancer comes from the sun. But so do many good things, according to author Rowan Jacobsen. Jacobsen talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the health benefits of sunshine and makes the case for prudent sun exposure. Topics discussed include the "heliotherapy" movement that peaked in the early 1900s in response to rickets and tuberculosis, why diagnosing skin cancer is on the rise, and why yesterday's sunscreens may have done more harm than good.
