Dit is de 279e aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over:Koolhydraten stapelen: waarom je ontbijt je lever niet vultINLEIDING: Vult dat koolhydraatrijke ontbijt op de ochtend van je wedstrijd je lever eigenlijk wel bij? Cas Fuchs legde het onder een MRI-scanner en vond iets anders dan iedereen verwachtte.De concentratie glycogeen in de lever steeg met ongeveer 10 procent. Alleen was de lever zelf intussen 6 procent gekrompen. In totale hoeveelheid bleef er van de winst niets over: 53 gram vooraf, 54 gram drie uur later.In een tweede studie reed dezelfde groep wielrenners zich twee uur helemaal leeg. Daarna kregen ze twaalf uur lang 10 gram koolhydraten per kilogram lichaamsgewicht. De lever zat binnen zes uur alweer boven het uitgangsniveau. De spier stond na twaalf uur pas op 69 procent.Cas Fuchs is universitair docent aan het Maastricht UMC+ en voedingsadviseur bij Visma Lease a Bike. Gerrit Heijkoop en Jurgen van Teeffelen vragen hem wat dit betekent voor jouw najaarsmarathon, hoeveel je in de laatste twee dagen echt moet eten, en waarom onderzoekers ineens zo kritisch zijn op het bewijs voor koolhydraten stapelen.Vragen die in deze aflevering worden beantwoord:1. Wat is koolhydraten stapelen en werkt het echt?Koolhydraten stapelen betekent dat je in de laatste dagen voor een wedstrijd bewust veel meer koolhydraten eet dan normaal, om je glycogeenvoorraad in spieren en lever te maximaliseren. Dat je voorraad daardoor stijgt, staat volgens Cas Fuchs buiten kijf: eet je minder koolhydraten, dan heb je aantoonbaar minder om op te slaan. Of die volle voorraad ook echt een snellere tijd oplevert, is lastiger te bewijzen. Van veertien studies waren er slechts twee dubbelblind opgezet, en die vonden geen prestatievoordeel.2. Waarom vult een koolhydraatrijk ontbijt je leverglycogeen niet aan?Omdat er twee dingen tegelijk gebeuren. Fuchs mat bij goed getrainde wielrenners dat de concentratie glycogeen in de lever na een ontbijt met 3 gram koolhydraten per kilogram lichaamsgewicht met ongeveer 10 procent steeg. Tegelijk kromp de lever zelf met 6 procent. In totale hoeveelheid bleef er daardoor niets van die winst over: 53 gram vooraf, 54 gram na drie uur. De koolhydraten komen wel beschikbaar in je bloed en je spieren kunnen ze tijdens inspanning direct gebruiken.3. Hoeveel koolhydraten per kilogram lichaamsgewicht heb je nodig in de dagen voor een marathon?Fuchs adviseert ongeveer twee dagen op 8 tot 10 gram per kilogram lichaamsgewicht per dag, of te sturen op 80 tot 85 procent van je energie-inname uit koolhydraten. Een recente dosis-responsstudie ondersteunt de bovenkant van dat bereik: bij 10 gram per kilogram lag het spierglycogeen duidelijk hoger dan bij 6 of 8 gram, terwijl er tussen 6 en 8 geen verschil zat. Maagdarmklachten namen daarbij niet toe. Alleen het volle gevoel wel.4. Hoe lang duurt het voordat je spierglycogeen na een zware duurtraining weer vol is?Langer dan de meeste sporters denken. Fuchs liet wielrenners zich twee uur leegrijden en gaf ze daarna 10 gram koolhydraten per kilogram lichaamsgewicht over twaalf uur. Toch stond het spierglycogeen na die twaalf uur pas op 69 procent van de uitgangswaarde. Doorgerekend kom je op bijna 24 uur voor volledig herstel. De lever gaat veel sneller en zit binnen zes uur weer op niveau. Zonder koolhydraten gebeurt er in die twaalf uur helemaal niets.5. Welke rol spelen eiwitten en vetten als je koolhydraten stapelt voor een wedstrijd?Ze bepalen mede hoeveel koolhydraten er überhaupt in passen. Een gemengde maaltijd vertraagt je maaglediging, waardoor er minder snel ruimte is voor de volgende portie. Tegelijk kun je ze niet weglaten: eiwit blijft nodig voor herstel en vet hoort erbij, zeker bij een groot energieverbruik. Volgens Fuchs moet je daarom naar het totaalplaatje kijken. Je stapelt binnen de grenzen van je energiebehoefte, je maaglediging en de transporters in je darm.6. Wat gebeurt er met je glycogeenvoorraad als je koolhydraatarm eet als duursporter?Je hebt gewoon een glycogeenvoorraad, maar die ligt lager. Wie structureel hoog in het vet en laag in de koolhydraten zit, heeft volgens Fuchs simpelweg minder koolhydraat beschikbaar in het lichaam als brandstof, zeker als er niet gestapeld wordt. Of je daar last van krijgt, hangt af van wat je gaat doen. Bij lage tot matige intensiteit merk je het minder, omdat je dan een groter deel van je energie uit vet haalt.Handige bronnen en links:De studie van Cas Fuchs naar het effect van een koolhydraatrijk ontbijt op de glycogeenvoorraden in lever en spier: https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpendo.00400.2025De studie van Cas Fuchs die laat zien dat het spierglycogeen twaalf uur na een uitputtende inspanning nog niet is aangevuld: https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1113/JP289115Wat is het wetenschappelijk bewijs voor koolhydraatsupercompensatie?

AI kan göra oss tio gånger effektivare. Men om tekniken till slut gör större delen av arbetet – vad ska människan då använda sin tid och sitt liv till?Peter Nagy har arbetat med teknologi och digital transformation i över 25 år och har erfarenhet från omkring 50 skarpa AI-projekt. I det här samtalet pratar vi om hur företag går från AI-experiment till verklig förändring, varför Europas tekniska beroende av USA är ett problem och hur svenska företag kan använda AI säkert på sin egen data.Vi diskuterar också vad som händer med juniorerna när seniorerna inte längre behöver samma avlastning, om företag ska använda AI till att växa, korta arbetsdagen eller minska personalen – och varför människorna och kulturen fortfarande är viktigare än själva tekniken.Men samtalet blir också personligt. Peter berättar om sitt entreprenörsdriv, hur han började sälja graffiti som 14-åring, sin syn på mål, Gud, simulationen och varför människan fortfarande behöver känna att hon bidrar till någonting större.För även om AI kan göra jobbet åt oss behöver vi fortfarande ett berg att bestiga.Peter Nagy finns på violet.org och LinkedIn.00:00:00 Peter Nagy återvänder efter två omvälvande AI-år00:01:05 Lärdomar från 50 skarpa AI-projekt00:03:26 Driv, ADHD och längtan efter ett mål00:05:45 Skillnaden mellan entreprenörer och småföretagare00:09:12 Kan vi leda ungas drivkraft i rätt riktning?00:12:28 Borde ungdomar få börja arbeta tidigare?00:13:37 AI sänker tröskeln till entreprenörskap00:15:51 Peter började sälja graffiti som 14-åring00:17:07 Så finansierade han sin utbildning genom hemsidor00:19:01 Hur förbereder vi våra barn för framtiden?00:20:22 AI kan ge oss evigt liv – eller förgöra oss00:22:17 Vem kommer egentligen att kontrollera AI?00:23:50 Europas beroende av amerikansk teknologi00:27:48 Politikerna diskuterar en arbetsmarknad som försvinner00:29:24 Teknisk förmåga kontra mänsklig adoption00:30:31 Vad ska människan leva för när jobbet försvinner?00:35:29 Nästa generation kommer kunna leva många liv00:36:46 Så kan svenska företag vinna på AI00:39:06 Säker AI på företagens egna data00:41:08 Lokala modeller, behörigheter och olika säkerhetsnivåer00:45:41 Vad gör vi när människan blir tio gånger effektivare?00:46:27 Kulturen är fortfarande viktigare än tekniken00:48:21 Växa, korta arbetsdagen eller minska personalen?00:49:39 Vad händer med juniorerna och framtidens lärande?00:51:02 Varför svenska företag måste släppa sargen00:52:24 Små företag mot stora organisationer00:54:38 Från AI-pilot till verkligt affärsvärde00:57:10 AI-slop, kvalitet och människans ansvar00:58:04 Tre veckors analysarbete kan bli tre dagar01:02:50 Så kan AI förändra offentliga upphandlingar01:05:08 Din konkurrent kommer att använda tekniken01:05:47 Alla kan göra allt01:05:52 Hur ser Peters liv ut om tio år?01:07:29 Att sätta mål efter det liv man vill leva01:09:14 Lever vi i en simulation?01:13:53 Varför vi inte ska vara rädda för framtiden01:15:30 Välj dina strider och hitta något värt att leva för

In this week's news roundup, Zoopla breaks cover with a full set of FY2025 numbers, and that sets up a longer argument about the cheapest growth lever in the portal business: the story you tell about yourself. Chapters:00:00 Intro00:48 Zoopla Publishes Its FY2025 Financials11:56 Will Silver Lake Sell Zoopla, And To Whom?14:32 The Perception & Narrative Lever18:26 When Number Two Actually Overtakes Number One23:24 Inside The Claims Ledger: 19,300 Portal Claims32:11 Simon On Making Claims As A Portal CEO39:25 PPW Madrid Preview Zoopla Opens The BooksZoopla is no longer a public company and does not have to tell anyone anything, but it sent the market a press release anyway. Revenue of £83.2m for FY2025, down 1% year on year. Profit of £20.7m at a 16% margin. Homeowners tracking a property on the site up 39% to more than six million, and Prospect Plus seller leads converting to listings at 43%. What it did not disclose was agent or customer numbers, which is what the UK trade press led on. Simon reads a decade of roughly flat revenue as the honest picture of life as number two to Rightmove, and reckons the release is Silver Lake, eight years and around £2bn in, telling the market it is profitable and open to offers. His guess on the buyer: another PE firm rather than CoStar, Idealista or REA Group. The Narrative Growth LeverPaul Whitehead's comments to Harvey about customer perception set up the bigger question. Of the levers a portal CEO can actually pull, listings are hardest to move, traffic and product cost real money, and product has never once decided market leadership. Simon half agrees, and offers the two cases where number one genuinely fell: Casa losing Italy to Immobiliare, and Realtor.com losing the US to Zillow's Zestimate. Both needed the leader to slip at the same moment the challenger did something unusual. Claims Nobody Is CheckingWith 19,300 portal claims now in the OMP claims ledger, the question becomes who makes claims and why. Simon splits it four ways, leaders against attackers and listed against unlisted, and explains why he refused to make forward financial claims as a CEO, how survey-backed marketing claims really get made, and what to make of REA Group's disputed nine out of ten line. PPW Madrid PreviewThe conference runs 28 to 30 October. Around 300 of 500 places are already gone, Malcolm Myers and Mike DelPrete are on the strategic track, and more headline portal speakers are still to be announced. Tickets at ppweurope.com.

HR isn't just supporting the business. It may be one of the biggest places leaders are leaving growth, profitability, and enterprise value on the table. Nikki sits down with DeeAnn Palin, founder of ONPOINT Business Solutions, to unpack why people strategy should be treated as business strategy. Drawing from decades of experience coaching CEOs and supporting founder-led and private equity-backed companies, DeeAnn shares how smarter decisions around talent, compensation, benefits, leadership, and retention can uncover millions in hidden value. From reducing costly turnover to building stronger leadership benches and using AI to strengthen HR decision-making, DeeAnn challenges leaders to stop viewing HR as a cost center and start seeing it as a growth engine. Because a profitable company and a people-first culture aren't competing priorities. The right strategy can create both.   Additional Resources: Connect with DeeAnn on LinkedIn Meet with DeeAnn for resources or a conversation Watch Gut + Science (and more) on YouTube!

Anika sat down with Mike Barton to explore why digital accessibility is frequently overlooked by marketers and why treating it as a core growth lever can transform a brand. The conversation revealed a counterintuitive truth: digital accessibility is not just a compliance checkbox or a legal defense against lawsuits, but a powerful driver of customer retention, SEO performance, and overall user clarity. Mike's diverse journey—shaping executive messaging at Adobe, building a customer marketing function from scratch at Zenoti, and leading corporate communications and content marketing at AudioEye—offered a practical look at how treating enterprise buyers as humans first changes the way brands tell stories.In This EpisodeThe Northwestern IMC Roots: Merging data-driven decisions with creative marketing to treat the end user as a human.Building from Scratch at Zenoti: Why executive buy-in, measurable outcomes, and diverse team skills matter more than theoretical strategies.The Accessibility Aha Moment: Discovering how common digital content excludes the 1 in 4 Americans living with a disability.Compliance vs. Growth: Shifting enterprise conversations away from fear-driven legal defense toward marketing tech stack investments.Rising Tides and SEO: How clear image descriptions, precise code structures, and accessible design naturally boost search rankings and LLM visibility.The Loyalty Multiplier: Why consumers with disabilities and their tight-knit communities represent an exceptionally loyal customer base.Decoding Content Slop: Balancing the power of AI amplification with authentic human storytelling to avoid the sea of digital sameness.

Powerful marketing must combine logic and emotion to reframe how people think and build genuine brand loyalty. Insight 2: Accessibility Lifts All Marketing Boats Investing a small percentage of a marketing tech stack budget into accessibility does more than maintain compliance. It improves SEO performance, enhances LLM crawler comprehension, and clarifies copy for every user, making it a true rising tide for all digital channels. Insight 3: The Untapped Power of an Overlooked Audience Marketers frequently make the self-fulfilling assumption that people with disabilities do not engage with their products or possess spending power. In reality, addressing the needs of this community unlocks massive market potential and builds unmatched customer loyalty. Insight 4: Simplicity Is the Hardest Part of Writing As digital noise increases and AI generates vast amounts of generic content, the winning strategy belongs to writers who can simplify complex ideas. Succinct, clear messaging cuts through the clutter faster than over-engineered corporate jargon. Insight 5: Embrace the Career Detour Professional setbacks, whether a failed campaign, a missed strategy, or a layoff, are rarely true detours. Shifting perspective to view unexpected changes as the intended path helps professionals seize new opportunities sooner.

Maine's Sen. Susan Collins (R) has won five elections in a row, and a Democrat has not won a United States Senate seat in the state since 1988 — but polls suggest Mainers have reached a breaking point. They're tired of corruption and inaction from establishment politicians in Washington, D.C., and they're clamoring for change.  Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger who spent nearly two decades as a state legislator, says he's ready to shake things up. After populist insurgent Graham Platner dropped out of the race in July, Maine's Democratic Party tapped Jackson as its new candidate. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Jackson to ask: why haven't Democrats won a U.S. Senate seat in Maine in 38 years? Why does Collins keep winning? What's changed in Maine over the last three decades, and why does he believe he can finally topple the state's longtime Republican senator?

In the first segment, we take a look at how gov. Kathy Hochul is helping trillionaire tech bro Elon Musk expand his empire. Journalist, Luke Goldstein published an article in the Lever titled, "Elon Musk's Banking Empire Just Got Gov. Hochul's Blessing". The Indypendent's Allie Tutich sits with Goldstein to unpack what all of this means for Musk and for us. In our second  and third segment, Editor and Chief of the Indypendent, John Tarleton goes out to the field this episode to report on Day 5 of the 'New York fights AI Data Centers Tour'. The tour has been led by state senator Kristin Gonzalez, Food and Water Watch and New York Renews. They vehemently oppose the expansion of data centers across New York State. The tour comes at a moment when data centers are burgeoning across the country. We hear from Senator Gonzalez, a Democratic Socialist who chairs the state senates internet and technology committee. John also speaks with a grassroots activist in Orangeburg who is leading the charge against a second large data center in their town.

This one was Meta AI - it's a free model and it did a pretty good job. Obviously I am not going to read that and neither will anyone else, but outside of the lack of brevity here it's a decent write up. Well done, Mark. EPISODE TITLE OPTIONSUse one as main title, others as alternates for SEO:One Nation's Immigration Muddle, 18C on Trial, and Tampa 25 Years OnFarley the Throwback, AI Bubble Warnings and the Swans Self-DestructFrom Narrandera to Norway: Immigration, Data Centres and Banning AI in SchoolsThe Two Jacks on Pauline Hanson vs 18C, the UK's Boat Camps and America's Voting MessCocaine Capital, $600 Grams in Perth and a 49ers Billionaire in a Trailer Park StingBloods Culture to Boarding School: Tampa, Tribunals and What Went Wrong at the SwansEPISODE SUMMARYEpisode 170 is a wide-ranging end-of-winter news wrap from Sydney and Hong Kong.Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack start with One Nation's confused immigration numbers - David Farley suggesting an intake not far from Labor's, Pauline Hanson unclear on net overseas migration - and ask whether vagueness matters when neither government nor opposition has a clear story either. Farley, the Narrandera-based former Labor aspirant now with One Nation, is singled out as a throwback to old Country Party-style ministers like Doug Anthony, Ian Sinclair and Peter Nixon - rural common sense and real-world experience.The conversation moves to energy and tech. The Albanese government's proposal that new data centres from mid-next year need their own water source and 100% renewable power triggers a debate about global electricity demand. Data centre consumption is projected to double from 460 TWh in 2024 to over 1000 TWh by 2030. The Jacks question small modular nuclear reactors in Australia and warn of an AI investment bubble, with 15% of the S&P 500 now AI-configured and Chinese open-source models undercutting expensive US startups.On law, they unpack Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Context is Pauline Hanson's 2022 tweet to Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi telling her to "piss off back to Pakistan" after Faruqi's comments on Queen Elizabeth, which led to a Federal Court finding and a reported $200,000 penalty. Hanson is seeking leave to appeal to the High Court. The Jacks also discuss the White Australia Party's attempt to circumvent hate-group laws linked to the National Socialist Network and ASIO's role, and debate whether repugnant speech should be illegal.Twenty-five years on from the MV Tampa, they revisit the Howard-era response, children overboard, the excision of Christmas Island and other northern territories from the migration zone, and the legacy of mandatory detention introduced under Keating. Hong Kong Jack draws on his ten years on the Refugee Review Tribunal, including a harrowing self-harm incident during a video hearing in Woomera.Internationally: the UK's new camps for unscheduled boat arrivals after the High Court blocked the Rwanda plan, and the problematic Daily Mail reporting of gyms, football pitches and halal-only food; the US Supreme Court allowing state-based moves to restrict mail-in ballots, the stalled SAVE Act requiring birth certificates to vote and its impact on married women, and why America needs an AEC-style independent electoral commission.The Jacks note Norway banning generative AI in primary schools and restricting it in upper years after a decline in reading and writing, and pay tribute to Dolly Parton and the Dollywood Foundation's 325 million books program as a springboard into phonics vs whole-language teaching. Jack the Insider credits his mother and the Whitlam-era disadvantaged schools program for championing phonics.Court and crime: a mistrial in Pennsylvania after a juror allegedly smoked marijuana in the jury room during a murder trial; and Australia's cocaine problem in the context of the Sydney Swans hotel-room scandal. The Jacks discuss the legal risk of supply of a trafficable quantity (15 years in Victoria), self-reporting data suggesting 4% to 11% usage, 1500 possession arrests in the Eastern Suburbs, $600 a gram in Perth creating a Nullarbor business model, and the shift to crystal meth where cocaine is scarce.Sport to close: Italy's Giorgia Meloni becoming the longest-serving PM of the Italian Republic, polling 25-26% for Brothers of Italy as a buffer against the harder right; the Swans culture piece by Andrew Webster - the end of the Bloods self-sacrifice era of Kirk and Kelly, late nights at the Beach Road and Clovelly Hotels, adult entertainment in the team hotel, four-week bans, presumption of innocence, and Nick Blakey demanding a trade to North Melbourne where his father played; NRL - Roosters and Panthers as premiership threats; AFL - Carlton vs Melbourne as a clash of new game plans; cricket - England vs Pakistan at Lord's, Pakistan in disarray, Babar Azam out of form, and whether Marnus Labuschagne should tour South Africa or if he is at the "thanks for your service" stage; and finally the NFL - the San Francisco 49ers CEO caught in a police sting in East Palestine, Ohio, $140 agreed on WhatsApp, no trailer or brothel at the lot, two days jail with credit for time served and $1000 in fines and costs.Next week: listener feedback on booze and upper-middle-class parenting.SHOW NOTES - TOPICS COVEREDAustralian Politics: One Nation immigration policy split between David Farley and Pauline Hanson, net overseas migration confusion, Albanese wedge politics, Opposition property ban for temporary residents, Labor's delayed immigration announcement and refugee intake numbers.Energy and Technology: Data centres in Australia, water and renewable requirements, small-scale nuclear reactors in Russia and China, global power demand, AI bubble vs dotcom bubble, US vs Chinese AI models, S&P 500 exposure.Law and Free Speech: Section 18C - offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate, Pauline Hanson vs Mehreen Faruqi Federal Court decision, High Court leave to appeal process, White Australia Party and National Socialist Network, hate group laws, implied freedom of political communication.Immigration History: 25th anniversary of Tampa, MV Tampa and Captain, Merak and Christmas Island, children overboard, excision of Australian territories, mandatory detention, Woomera, Port Hedland, Villawood and Maribyrnong, Manus Island and Nauru costs.UK and US: UK mandatory processing centres, minibuses, no-document arrivals, security risks and Nick Radev case, Daily Mail coverage; US mail-in ballots, electoral rolls, SAVE Act, automatic voter registration in Oregon/Washington/California, gerrymandering and partisan control, Ross Perot and third-party candidates.Education and Culture: Norway AI ban, iPads in schools, national testing decline, phonics revival in Australia, Dr Seuss, John and Betty readers, Dolly Parton and literacy, scholarships for Year 7 retention.Courts and Drugs: Pennsylvania juror and devil's lettuce mistrial, field sobriety and judge's chambers process, Christian Brothers at St Pat's Ballarat, Sydney Swans scandal and allegations of indecent assault, white powder found, trafficable quantity laws, Australia as highest self-reported cocaine users, Double Bay and Waverley Local Court, cardiac risks.Sport: Swans culture, Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey trade to North Melbourne, Andrew Webster SMH column, AFL finals odds Sydney at $34, NRL Warriors Roosters Panthers, Carlton vs Melbourne injuries, England vs Pakistan second Test, Marnus Labuschagne technique and Steve Smith comparison, Ricky Ponting assessment, San Francisco 49ers CEO East Palestine sting.All timestamps below are adjusted by +25 seconds to account for theme music at the top of the episode.TIMESTAMPED HIGHLIGHTS (Adjusted +25s)00:00:25 - Open: End of winter in Sydney and the Highlands, mid-20s, bracing for a stinking hot summer.

The Washington Roundtable will be back next week. In the meantime, we're pleased to bring you the Season 2 premiere of “Master Plan,” the award-winning investigative podcast from The Lever. In its second season, titled “The Kingmakers,” the host, David Sirota, a former speechwriter for Bernie Sanders and an Oscar-nominated co-writer for “Don't Look Up,” examines the decades-long building of an all-powerful American Presidency. This episode explores how Richard Nixon's secret expansion of the Vietnam War, along with his attempts to seize the power of the purse from Congress sparked a constitutional crisis and a backlash, setting the stage for many of the legal battles that dominate today's political landscape.  We hope you'll enjoy it.

In this episode of the “All Things Endurance Podcast,” host Rick Prince chats with Brad Miles. Brad is the co-founder and CEO of Lever Movement, a bodyweight suspension system for treadmills that allows runners to unload a percentage of their bodyweight while running. Rick and Brad chat about how Lever came to be, the evolution of Lever's demographic, use cases for Lever and the benefits of running unloaded. Below are the specific areas that Rick and Brad discuss during this episode: 1. Tell us about your background and how you got the idea to invent Lever Movement.2. You started by thinking of it from a rehab perspective, but you have now leaned into it as also a prehab use case. How did that evolution in thinking transpire?3. When we first spoke, you mentioned that your initial focus was on triathletes. Has Lever Movement since been adopted by the running community?4. In theory, would a product like Lever Movement replace traditional running recovery modalities such as pool jogging, elliptical trainers, etc?5. Volume is the number one predictor of running injuries. For runners who are injury-prone and/or those who run at what would be considered high volume, how many days per week is it suggested to run using Lever Movement?6. Have you found that rehab professionals can be liberal in their running prescriptions for injured athletes when using Lever versus those who don't have access to reduced-weight-bearing training modalities?7. Pain is a great motivator. Do you find many people purchase a Lever Movement product after bouts of repeated injuries or when they're currently injured?8.

Earlier this month, a new Democratic machine scored a major victory in Connecticut. First-time congressional candidate Luke Bronin won his Democratic primary by a landslide, ousting 14-term progressive incumbent Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.). Bronin's win is part of a larger, national push — funded by a secretive hedge fund manager — to elect more establishment-aligned Democrats. Who is this man pouring his millions into the fight?   Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Lever reporters Katya Schwenk and Luke Goldstein to unmask the man behind the machine. They discuss Schwenk and Goldstein's recent hit article exploring how one billionaire Democratic donor is attempting to handpick corporate-friendly candidates and crush their most progressive opponents in this year's midterms.   You can check out more of Katya Schwenk and Luke Goldstein's reporting here: How A Hedge Fund Billionaire Became The Democrats' New Kingmaker The Democratic Primary Operative With A Wall Street Side Gig The New Democratic Machine – And The Billionaires Behind It Get ad-free episodes, bonus content and extended interviews by becoming a member at levernews.com/join.

David Sirota joins Taya Graham and Stephen Janis to expose the enormous financial incentives shaping Democratic politics and why political consultants can accumulate “generational wealth” even when their candidates lose. David Sirota explains how consultants profit from massive television-ad purchases, how billionaire-funded super PACs influence the candidates and policies voters are offered, and how the language of “moderation” and “electability” is used to undermine progressive and populist challengers.We examine the consequences of legalized political corruption: Washington's silence on America's healthcare crisis, the widening gulf between voters and their representatives, and the 50-year campaign to transform elections into auctions while concentrating power in the presidency.David Sirota is the founder of the investigative news organization The Lever, a former speechwriter for Bernie Sanders, an Oscar-nominated co-creator of the story for the movie Don't Look Up, and the producer of the podcast series Master Plan.Additional links/info:David Sirota and Jared Jacang Maher co-authored book, Master Plan: The Hidden Plot to Legalize Corruption in AmericaThe Lever's website, Instagram, and podcast series, Master planCredits:Production: Stephen Janis, Taya GrahamWritten by: Stephen JanisStudio Production: Cameron GranadinoPost-Production: Stephen Janis, David HebdenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Your Irish pension plan probably runs to age 95, but you'll likely live to around 83, and the gap changes your pot far less than you'd expect. In this episode, Paddy digs into the retirement life expactancy in Ireland. He checks on the one age assumption buried in almost every Irish retirement plan, where the default of 95 comes from and what the most recent CSO life tables actually say about how long a 65-year-old really lives. It's for you if you're approaching or already in retirement with a meaningful pension or ARF, and you've never been asked (or never questioned) the age your own plan is built to. Using a fictional €1.2m ARF, this piece shows how Revenue's imputed distribution means the closing pot is almost identical whether you plan to 83 or 95 (around €1.25m versus €1.21m). The end age was never really the lever. What is covered in this Episode: Where the default planning age of 95 comes from and the US research (Barron's, TIAA, Stanford) behind "oversaving and underliving" What the most recent Irish CSO life tables really say and why they're a floor, not a forecast How Revenue's imputed distribution (4%, 5%, 6%) shapes drawdown from an ARF Why a €1.2m ARF lands at almost the same value at 83 or 95 and what that means for your estate The real lever: what you do with the income you're forced to draw, including a scenario that leaves roughly €283,000 less to Revenue

Ralph welcomes Dr. Mimi Syed to discuss the recent report from Brown University's Costs of War Project: “Lethal Precision Without Accountability: Israeli Government ‘Quadcopter' Use in Gaza.” Then, Ralph speaks to Joel McCleary (former Deputy Assistant to President Jimmy Carter and international consultant) about his “Dancing in the Dark” essay series on the strategies that Trump is using to hold onto power at almost any cost.Dr. Mimi Syed is an emergency medicine physician and assistant clinical professor at University of Washington and Washington State University, and a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Dr. Syed served in Gaza at both al-Aqsa Hospital and Nasser Hospital, where she documented severe injuries from drone strikes and she has firsthand experience treating civilians targeted by the IDF. She is co-author of the Costs of War Project's new report: Lethal Precision Without Accountability: Israeli Government “Quadcopter” Use in Gaza.A lot of the attention has essentially fallen off from Gaza because of this so-called ceasefire…And the media (Western media) unfortunately is complicit in this—has no interest in covering Gaza, has no interest in covering the ongoing slaughter that's happening in Gaza.Dr. Mimi SyedThe irony of all of this is that the drones and the capabilities that these drones have to shoot and to distinguish between a civilian and a combatant—the whole purpose of this is to mitigate civilian harm. And instead, perversely, they're being used for the opposite. They're being used to target civilians and children. And in the U.N. report, they specifically talk about a soldier describing the experience, saying that it's like a video game. He can be sitting somewhere far away, away from the dangers of a military zone, away from the dangers of combatants, and essentially target whoever he wants, and shoot. And these drones have the capability of distinguishing between a child, an adult, a combatant. And most of these cases that I documented, the child was by themselves. There was no other adult harmed.Dr. Mimi SyedJoel McCleary served as Deputy Assistant to the President during the Carter Administration. As president of the Sawyer-Miller Group he oversaw international strategic advisory work for fourteen prime ministers and presidents. Currently, he is Managing Partner of Four Seasons Ventures, which has conducted in-depth studies for the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security on biodefense. These studies reviewed the emergency powers of the President in the event of a pandemic or major biological weapons attack. He is co-founder of the nonpartisan nonprofit Keep Our Republic.November 3rd is just the prelude to January 3rd—the game (so to speak) is who controls the Speakership. And that is determined by the certified members who are certified by the current House—they will determine who meets on January 3rd. So obviously what Trump does not want (or any President does not want) is there to be an opposing party's Speaker.Joel McClearyWe're not saying that anything is inevitable. We're just saying what is possible if you look at what they're saying and if you look at where they might go if they feel compelled to do so. So NSPM-7 is probably the most frightening aspect of this whole thing. And what's most frightening is how few people have focused on it. All of us need to read these documents at the ACLU (the Brennan Center has done fantastic work). And Mark Medish and I just are appalled that still, in Democratic circles or other circles, we are not yet comprehending the meaning of NSPM-7 and how it threatens each one of us in reality.Joel McClearyNews 8/21/26* This week, another round of primaries were held, most notably in Florida. For progressives, the biggest victory is that of Angie Nixon, a DSA-backed member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing Jacksonville. Nixon trounced her opponent – Alex Vindman, who testified against Trump during the 2019 impeachment effort – winning 56% of the vote to his 44% despite being outspent by a margin of 16 to 1. Forbes reports that in her victory speech, Nixon said “We have proved that everyday people are more powerful than corporations and billionaires…We went up against the political establishment, against millions of dollars of outside spending…and we won. This win was for the little guys and girls…We, the hardworking everyday people of Florida, sent a shock wave to the Washington, D.C., establishment.” Unfortunately, Nixon's candidacy, like that of any statewide Democratic campaign in the Sunshine State, remains a long shot. The last Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in Florida was former astronaut Bill Nelson in 2012.* More disappointing were the down-ballot results in these primaries. In the 20th congressional district, a majority-minority district centered on Broward County, Debbie Wasserman Schultz won with 45% of the vote, according to NBC. She defeated four Black candidates, including young progressive Elijah Manley. Wasserman Schultz previously represented the 25th district, but following the Republican-led mid-decade redistricting program carried out in Florida, she opted to seek reelection in this heavily Democratic seat. The Black candidates had tried and failed to consolidate behind a single choice.* And in Florida's 25th congressional district, ultra-zionist incumbent Congressman Jared Moskowitz “warded off” a challenge from his left in the form of Oliver Larkin, a DSA-backed union organizer. Larkin drew substantial media attention, first when he appeared on Fox and, asked about immigration and crime, he demanded accountability for “this pedophile president Donald Trump” and others implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and again during an interview with WPLG Local 10 when Larkin was “faced with genocide denial.” According to the Middle East Eye, Larkin “raised the topic of Israel's genocide in Gaza, pointing to statements and findings from institutions such as the United Nations, Amnesty International and Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem,” which the interviewer, Glenna Milberg incorrectly dismissed as “factually incorrect.” Larkin “outlined Israel's deliberate targeting of civilians, restrictions on humanitarian aid and attacks on churches, schools and other places of worship,” and Milberg again “interrupted and said his account was ‘factually not correct.'” The Middle East Eye writes that the exchange was then “cut short when Milberg said she was being told they had to wrap up the interview.”* Turning to Texas, NOTUS reports Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico – capitalizing on the acrimonious primary battle between sitting Republican Senator John Cornyn and his victorious primary opponent Texas AG Ken Paxton – has taken the extraordinary step of bringing a Cornyn aide onto his campaign. According to this piece, “Jacob Smith, who worked for Cornyn for five years as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is taking on the role of deputy policy director for Talarico's campaign.” In a statement, Smith said that he is “proud” to join Talarico's campaign and that “Instead of playing partisan politics, Talarico speaks to the needs of everyday people who day in and day out work too hard for too little.” Smith also laid into Paxton, calling him “the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power,” and urging “fellow Republicans who know Ken Paxton is unfit to serve in the Senate to finally hold him accountable at the ballot box.” This piece quotes an anonymous “Republican operative” who characterized this kind of “cross-party hire” as “unheard of.” He added that Talarico has a “better chance than any Democrat has had in the state in a very long time.”* In more primary news, last week we discussed the victory of former Hartford, Connecticut Mayor Luke Bronin over 14-term incumbent Congressman John Larson. That same day, the Lever published an exposé of Stephen Mandel, a Connecticut-based billionaire hedge fund manager and Democratic mega-donor who is the “largest bankroller of a nascent political machine promising to ‘redefine' the Democratic Party.” Via two organizations – Majority Democrats and the Bench – Mandel and his wife have funneled tens of millions of dollars to candidates of their choosing in an attempt to form a “new [political] center.” According to this report, Bronin amassed a “sizable war chest,” during his primary challenge against Larson, much of which traces back to Mandel. Not only that, apparently, Bronin “used to be on the payroll of a nonprofit funded by the billionaire,” and his campaign's policy stances reflect the network's preferences and priorities. The Lever notes that, perhaps unsurprisingly, the Mandels did not return their requests for comment.* In more Connecticut news, in the wake of Larson's defeat, local media is beginning to question whether Senator Richard Blumenthal should run for another term in 2028, with WTNH noting that he will be 82 at the end of his current term. While Blumenthal has not formally announced that he will run for a fourth senate term, he did confirm that he has a campaign committee and it is raising money. This piece notes that Blumenthal is the second oldest member of Connecticut's congressional delegation, behind only Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, 83, who represents the state's third congressional district. With the increased scrutiny on aging Democrats, and donors like Stephen Mandel bankrolling primary challenges by younger candidates, Blumenthal's decision of whether or not to run or anoint a successor could prove critical. For his part, Blumenthal is quoted saying “Age is a state of mind…and I am very, very happy doing my job right now, as energetically as I feel is appropriate.”* Senator Blumenthal features prominently in another story this week from a different part of Washington. NOTUS reports that on K Street, lobbyists for the defense industry – literally the military industrial complex – are “girding for aggressive investigations of President Donald Trump's Pentagon and the companies that do business with it,” if the Democrats retake one or both houses of Congress in the midterm elections. This piece emphasizes that Democrats have “spent two years seething that the Trump administration shut Congress out of decisions about the Pentagon, from the Iran war to politically connected contractors and a defense budget that's ballooned to $1.5 trillion.” Lobbyists are reported to be particularly wary of their clients being caught between outraged congressional Democrats and an uncooperative White House for the next two years. Blumenthal, the top Democrat on the Senate Investigations Subcommittee, is already zeroing in on 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. is an investor, and American Ventures, where Eric Trump is an investor, both of which received billions of dollars in government awards. He is quoted saying “We need to look into whether Trump's sons are profiting from investments in defense contractors that involve insider information or contracts awarded in ways that compromise defense interests.” Other investigations he signaled they might pursue include a probe of “the administration's growing reliance on single-source contracts and whether the administration has given preferential treatment to companies with political ties, particularly those that donated to Trump's White House ballroom project.” In the House, Democrats on the Armed Services Committee will likely focus on “military strategy, acquisition decisions and the Pentagon's rapidly growing budget,” while the Oversight Committee, is more focused on “corruption, conflicts of interest, companies connected to Trump allies such as SpaceX and other ethics issues.” When Republicans won control of the House, Senate, and presidency in 2024, many lobbying firms axed their Democratic staff. It seems they are beginning to regret that decision.* Our next two stories have to do with the AI boom. First, in Wisconsin, the politics of AI data centers have come to in large part define the ongoing race to succeed Democrat Tony Evers as Governor. DSA-backed candidate Francesca Hong rode her vow of a moratorium on new data center construction to front-runner status in the primary, only to lose by a hair to Evers' last minute chosen successor, David Crowley. Since becoming the nominee, Crowley has refused to adopt Hong's signature issue and his opponent, Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany is taking full advantage. According to Wisconsin Public Radio, Tiffany's campaign has released a new TV ad labeling his opponent “data center David Crowley.” In the ad, Crowley is “seen saying Wisconsin has the opportunity to be ‘an AI and a data hub not only for the entire country, but for the entire globe.'” Ironically, Tiffany himself has cast “pro-data center votes in Congress” and Crowley's campaign argues that Tiffany “wouldn't be as hard on developers as his campaign claims,” though he is now campaigning on “ending state subsidies for data centers and creating additional protections for ratepayers and the state's farmland and water.”* Next, a stunning feat of reporting by 404 Media exposed how “Amazon is buying massive quantities of books, scanning them for AI training data, and destroying them in the process.“ To investigate this, the outlet placed a tracking device in a rare book that they suspected would be acquired by an AI company for training data. Then, when indeed it was, they followed the book around the country to its final destination – an Amazon warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada – where employees say that “all [they] do is scan books..Some are assigned to cut books, and others go to receive where they get books and scan the bar codes.” The printed book is destroyed in the process. The logo of the Amazon team that works at this warehouse, called VGT3, is a dinosaur, brandishing its teeth and with a book in its hands. The piece notes that the AI company Anthropic has previously been sued for engaging in the practice of destroying rare books in order to feed them into their large language models, or LLMs, on copyright grounds, but the “judge in the lawsuit ruled it was fair use and not a copyright violation for Anthropic to scan a book for training data in part because it destroyed the original, printed copy.” The author of this piece notes that these rare books are not necessarily monetarily valuable – they could be rare because “not many copies of them were ever printed,” or “they are in a foreign language not many people speak.” Still, as one bookseller said “There are different types of value…[besides monetary value] There's historical value, intellectual value, sentimental value. All sorts of things, and all of those the AI companies don't care about. They just want the content as a bunch of words strung together.”* Finally, we turn to the Vatican, where, Drop Site reports, Pope Leo XIV is using his pulpit to call for the opening of humanitarian corridors for civilians in Sudan. In his weekly Angelus address, the first American Pope highlighted “the plight of civilians in the besieged city of el-Obeid.” In addition to his call for humanitarian corridors, the pontiff called for both sides to “cease attacks on civilian targets.” Drop Site explains that El-Obeid, the largest city in Kordofan – the region comprising central Sudan – has faced intense drone attacks as the rebels of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) battle the Sudanese army for supremacy in the region. An RSF siege has “left over 500,000 people in famine conditions for months and without supplies.” The United Nations warns that if El-Obeid falls, it could follow in the mold of el-Fasher, which fell to the RSF last year and resulted in “mass ethnic cleansing massacres by the RSF that killed an estimated 60,000 people.” We can only hope that the world will heed the Pope's plea for peace and humanitarian assistance to the civilian population of Sudan.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

There's a link in ecommerce that mostly goes unsaid, and it's a slightly awkward one: the connection between giving and commercial benefit. When a brand partners with a charity, they're doing it for the right reason. But to get it off the ground and keep it alive when budgets tighten, they usually have to rationalise it commercially, and that's the part that feels a bit icky to say out loud.It shouldn't. GoGenerosity carries a real commercial upside, and being honest about that is often the very thing that lets the good happen at all. The thing worth chasing is the win-win-win: a win for the retailer, a win for the charity, and a win for the community in need. Get all three and it's powerful. Miss one and it falls over.This came out of a conversation with Rohan McCloskey, founder of GoGenerosity, a pay-it-forward platform that turns small customer donations at the checkout into full-value gift cards for people in need, without ever touching the retailer's margin. Rohan has since sold the business. This episode was co-hosted by Rosa Willis.In this playbook, we cover three things ecommerce operators need to know about making giving a commercial lever:Let purpose lead, but give it a commercial backbone so it isn't the first thing cut when the year gets tightWeave the giving into the problem you're already solving for the customer, rather than a guilt trip at the checkoutMake the impact visible and pick a cause that fits, because alignment plus visibility turns a giving feature into a real relationshipConnect with Rohan McCloskey Explore GoGenerositySubscribe to the Add To Cart newsletter  SMS us to Suggest a Guest Connect with Nathan Bush Join the Add To Cart Community

Are you eating well, moving your body, and trying to sleep better — but still feeling older than you should? Stiffer joints, lower energy, and a sense that the last few years have aged you faster than the years before? That feeling has a cause, and it is not laziness or bad genetics. In this episode, we dive into why aging happens inside your cells first, and how your body catches up later. I walk through the 4 specific drivers that accelerate cellular aging and the 5 evidence-backed levers you can use to slow — and in some cases reverse — that process. Stay until the end for the clinical trial where participants did not just slow cellular aging… but after five years, they measurably turned it backward. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why your biological age — not the number on your driver's license — determines how you feel, think, and move • The 4 key mechanisms breaking down your cells right now, including telomere shortening, mitochondrial decline, slowed autophagy, and senescent cell buildup • How telomeres work like the plastic tips on a shoelace, and why emotional stress wears them down faster than almost anything else • What autophagy is, why your cellular cleanup crew slows with age, and how to switch it back on • Why resistance training is the single most powerful tool for building new mitochondria and slowing cellular aging • The specific fats that keep your cell membranes flexible and springy — and the ones that make them brittle • How deep sleep triggers growth hormone release, clears damaged proteins, and runs the brain's overnight repair cycle • The 9 blood biomarkers from a 2018 study in the journal Aging that predict longevity better than chronological age • The five-year lifestyle trial where one group lengthened their telomeres by 10% while the control group's shortened by 3% Find out what's really happening inside your body with advanced at-home biomarker testing — which includes a 60 minute consultation to review your results and learn about our cellular healing protocols at The Health Institute → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

The stunning momentum of the insurgent left hit a roadblock this week when democratic socialist Francesca Hong narrowly lost her primary race for Wisconsin governor to Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, a moderate who garnered significant support from establishment Democrats. “The collective power of that Democratic establishment in a state, where there is a Democratic governor and there is a real Democratic Party establishment machine, all of that power was required to eke out a 0.4 percent victory in the party's own primary against a previously unknown candidate running as a Democratic socialist,” The Lever's David Sirota tells The Intercept Briefing. This week on the podcast, host Jessica Washington speaks with Sirota, founder and editor-in-chief of The Lever, about the primaries and how the left is building power within the Democratic Party. There were bright spots for progressives on Tuesday night. In Minnesota, progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan defeated AIPAC-backed Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., in the Senate primary race. Craig had previously voted for the Laken Riley Act, which requires the federal government to detain people for certain crimes, including shoplifting and burglary. Flanagan, by contrast, told supporters on election night: “We need to rip ICE apart and stop them from terrorizing our communities.” “What you're seeing now is, and I don't want to call it a Democratic Tea Party, but it is certainly organizing and pressuring to take back power in an adversarial way from a set of forces to the left of the Democratic establishment,” says Sirota. “That is what's new, and that is what's driving the political dynamic now.” Washington and Sirota also discuss the intensifying democracy crisis unfolding in the United States. According to Sirota, it “stands on two pillars: concentrated executive power and the supremacy of money.”Sirota explores this theme and more, in the new season of his show, Master Plan: The Kingmakers. The podcast is all about how a once-fringe legal theory moved into the mainstream and transformed the power of the American presidency. Full episode transcript here.

Oliver Larkin spent a decade battling the Democratic Party's campaign machine as an organizer for candidates like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Now, in Florida's Aug. 18 primary, he's a democratic socialist going up against Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) — who once called himself a “twice-appointed, Ron DeSantis Democrat.”  Moskowitz claims Larkin is running against him “solely on my religion.” He has also vastly outraised Larkin, thanks in part to support from AIPAC affiliates and pro-AI super PACs. But just this week, Larkin's campaign reached the milestone of raising $1 million without the help of corporate money. Does this mean the insurgent has a shot?  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota speaks with Larkin about the antisemitism allegations, the Democratic Party's corporate money problem, and why he thinks Democrats keep losing in Florida.

God's Own Land: Sacred Landscape, Pilgrim Economy and Religious Change in the Ganga Himalaya (Lever Press, 2026) follows the tectonic shift from traditional religious pilgrimage in the early twentieth-century to contemporary pilgrim tourism, in which ever-burgeoning visitor numbers have brought both benefits and challenges to the Garhwal region of India—the source of Hindu India's sacred river, the Ganges. Despite Hinduism's regional and sectarian variation, India's Garhwal Himalaya region is one the most sacred places to Hindus, drawing pilgrims across sectarian lines from throughout the subcontinent and the world. This sacred land—dev bhumi or “land of the gods”—appears in foundational Hindu stories describing the presence and activity of gods, goddesses, saints, and cultural heroes.This study from James G. Lochtefeld draws out Hindu convictions regarding the Garhwal's eternal and continuing sanctity as a holy region, based on the premise of an “imagined landscape.” This region is strongly associated with divine activity and yet this landscape is also a real place with a real history inhabited by real people, who have historically been poor because of the challenges created by the region's geography. Juxtaposing the history of the region with its construction in the Hindu imaginary, this multidisciplinary study unpacks the nuanced image of the region, its religious significance, and the impacts of pilgrimages on the community through textual, historical, and ethnographic methods.

Michigan just proved that money has its limits in elections. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed beat out establishment sweetheart Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in what was likely the most expensive Democratic primary in U.S. history.  El-Sayed's win was a major blow to the super PACs and shadowy nonprofits that spent tens of millions against him, but the story is far from over. AIPAC and its affiliates claimed five other victories around the country this week, and dark money groups are now training their sights on the general election in November.  Today on Lever Time, Natalie Bettendorf speaks with David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect, about Abdul El-Sayed's landmark win in Michigan, the must-watch primary races ahead, and the bizarre new landscape of political campaigns. They discuss the pop-up and shell PACs, billionaire-backed nonprofits, paid influencers pushing political messages, and the surprising lack of federal oversight in the 2026 midterms.  Want comprehensive 2026 midterm coverage?
