Music has the power to bring people together, but what happens after the final encore? In this episode of the Scottsdale Vibes Podcast, Alicia Haygood sits down with Maria Brunner, Arizona Chapter Director for Musically Fed, to discuss how the nonprofit rescues surplus food from concerts, sporting events, and entertainment venues to feed local families experiencing food insecurity. One of the most inspiring parts of Musically Fed's work is the incredible support they receive from the entertainment industry. Many touring artists specifically request that any untouched backstage catering and hospitality food be donated rather than thrown away. Thanks to those requests and the collaboration of venues, promoters, and catering teams thousands of pounds of fresh, high-quality meals are redirected each year to local shelters, food banks, and organizations serving people in need. From major touring acts to local performances, every concert has the potential to end on a high note by helping feed the community. Alicia also welcomes Jeremy Mueller of Jeremy Mueller Insurance to talk about protecting what matters most and why working with a trusted local insurance expert can make all the difference. From giving back to the community to planning for your family's future, this episode highlights two Scottsdale businesses making a meaningful impact in different ways.

From testicular cancer to children's stories, book clubs and summer reads, this episode celebrates the healing power of books and community. Books can entertain us, educate us and carry us away for a few precious hours. But sometimes, they help us survive. In this edition of The Lisa Burke Show, Lisa is joined by writer, translator and lifelong bookworm Tom Weber, Mariana Mendes, founder of Between the Lines, and Maïté Ademes and Hendrik Dennemeyer from Luxembourg City Library's children's projects team. Together, they explore summer reading, Luxembourg's open-air library D'Stad liest, the magic of book clubs and the inner strength that reading can give us when life turns serious. The conversation begins with Tom Weber's courageous account of being diagnosed with testicular cancer very recently aged just 29. What began as pain and a visit to his GP rapidly became blood tests, a urologist appointment, emergency hospital care, surgery and confirmation that two tumours had been found. “Earlier this month, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. And that came a bit out of nowhere. I didn't see this coming at all,” Tom's candour is striking. The surgery went well, scans showed the cancer had not metastasised, and he is now waiting to see whether chemotherapy will be needed. But his most urgent message is clear: men and boys need to check themselves. “If you do have testicles, do a self-check once a month. And if you feel any sort of hardening, or anything that's unusual, you should immediately go to your GP.” What makes Tom's presence so moving is the way he holds fear without being consumed by it. Having previously spoken on the show about his late autism diagnosis, he explains that his philosophy is to focus on what can be done, rather than spiral into what cannot be controlled. “There's not really any point in worrying about things that you have no control over, because at that point, you're just adding to it” From there, the conversation turns naturally to reading, as a way to make sense of life and emotions. Tom read voraciously as a child, then lost that habit during depression and personal struggle in his early twenties. After his autism diagnosis, therapists encouraged him to think back to what he loved before masking and social pressure took over. The answer was obvious: books. “I always have a book in my hand now. And it cured a lot of the things.” This is where the episode opens into its wider love letter to libraries. Luxembourg City Library's D'Stad liest, meaning “the city reads”, began in 2021 during the pandemic years, when open-air cultural life became a way to gather safely. This summer, the open-air library moves to the Grund district, at Place St Ulric, where readers can settle into books and magazines from Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 6.30pm. Hendrik Dennemeyer and Maïté Ademes explain that the library's children's mascot, Tuffi the fox, represents their mission to foster a love of reading among children, while multilingual storytelling sessions, author readings and workshops make the library feel alive for families. “Most kids still love books,” Hendrik says, adding that comics, manga and graphic novels remain a powerful doorway into reading. Maïté highlights Saturday morning storytelling sessions, including inclusive events and a new collaboration with the Centre de Logopédie, where stories will also be translated into German sign language. Community is also at the heart of Between the Lines, the English-language book club founded by Mariana Mendes. What began four years ago as an Instagram page, shared with a few friends, has grown into monthly discussions of around 20 to 30 readers. You can follow the club at https://www.instagram.com/betweenthelines.lu/. Mariana speaks about the sensory pleasure of physical books: the touch, smell, colours, covers and bookshop browsing experience that no screen can fully replace. She also organises book swaps, where the exchange becomes personal. “People bring the books that they like and they really want someone else to read it. And maybe it's not life changing, but I think it gives you a piece of someone else.” In a world often accused of being too digital, Mariana also points out that BookTok and Bookstagram have helped make reading feel social, visible and even trendy again. Tom's summer reading list brings the episode its intellectual sweep. The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins takes listeners into the Indonesian massacres of 1965 and 1966 and the political shadows of the Cold War. What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama becomes, in Tom's words, “like receiving a warm hug from a very dear friend”. In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado explores psychological abuse in a queer relationship through an inventive literary form. Salt Houses by Hala Alyan follows a displaced Palestinian family across generations, with prose Tom describes as lyrical and deeply moving. Finally, Rob Hopkins' From What Is to What If closes the show on imagination and possibility. “If we want to create a better future for all of us, we need imagination,” That, perhaps, is the perfect ending to an episode that begins with illness and moves towards courage, community and creative life. Books do not remove pain. But they can give us language, companionship and a way to imagine what comes next.

Four years and three months into a "five-day special military operation" that has dragged on as long as the First World War, Vladimir Putin continues to display a troubling resilience. In this episode of Battleground Ukraine, hosts Patrick Bishop and Saul David peel back the diplomatic theatre surrounding Putin's high-profile summit in Beijing. While the body language suggests genuine warmth between Putin and Xi Jinping , the hosts expose the stark reality: a deeply unequal partnership where an economically dominant China treats Russia as a junior partner—and an asset to upend the global order. The team breaks down the geopolitical and economic survival strategies keeping Moscow afloat, from massive natural gas pipeline breakthroughs to unexpected lifelines handed over by Western nations. The Yamal-to-China Pipeline: A deep dive into the resurrected, 50-billion-cubic-meter gas project cutting through Mongolia—a long-term economic fallback that cements Russia's reliance on selling off its natural resources to Asia. The UK's "Shameful" Sanctions Shift: An analysis of Britain's controversial decision to officially loosen strict sanctions on Russian energy imports. Driven by soaring energy costs and blockades in the Strait of Hormuz, the UK's indefinite waiver on refined Russian crude sends a dangerous signal to the Kremlin. G7 Hypocrisy: How the British government managed to sign an unwavering G7 pledge to impose "severe costs" on Russia , while simultaneously backtracking on vital sanctions at home.

The Kentucky Derby is right around the corner, which means one thing: it's time for The Rizzuto Show to take something classy and immediately make it questionable. Enter: Weed or Steed — the game that proves names like “Grandmaster Sexy” and “Always Dreaming” belong equally in a horse race or a college apartment.In this episode of the funny podcast you didn't know you needed today, Rizz and the gang put listeners (and themselves) on the spot with rapid-fire guesses: is it a racehorse… or a weed strain? Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Confidence levels start high and drop faster than your dignity after Googling “what is Blue Dream.”From Danzig Moon to Thunder Gulch, and the absolutely suspicious Green Crack, every round somehow gets more ridiculous. Lifelines are used irresponsibly, debates go nowhere fast, and at least one person realizes they may have accidentally revealed way too much about their personal expertise.The best part? Nobody agrees on anything. Names that sound like obvious weed strains turn out to be Derby winners, and horse names start sounding like something you'd hear whispered in a dispensary. It's a full-on spiral of second-guessing, overthinking, and just enough trash talk to keep things spicy.This is what happens when a funny podcast leans all the way into chaos: you get a game that makes zero sense, delivers nonstop laughs, and somehow teaches you absolutely nothing useful — except maybe not to trust your instincts.If you're here for a funny podcast that blends pop culture, weird trivia, and the kind of humor that makes you question everyone involved… congratulations, you've found your people.FOLLOW + MORE FROM THE SHOW

Noam and Jen return, a day late but things do happen. Or maybe they don't, which is a running theme of our coverage of the Iran war. This time, maybe Trump is going to bomb all of the infrastructure if Iran doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz. Or not. Who can say really.    Speaking of dropping bombs, Nate Silver somehow ragebaited Hasan Piker into posting his follower stats on Twitter, where everyone noticed a suspiciously large number of unverified accounts follow him. Not the kind of information one releases about oneself but hey, Hasan has been under a lot of scrutiny lately.  In happy Iran news, the US rescued an Air Force officer whose plane was shot down deep in the Iranian mountains. Hooray us! Well, at least we're happy about it. I mean, Israel can't have all the insane movie plot missions.  For our WAWC, Noam recommends the very weird sounding game Crimson Desert, which somehow has both magic and robots. Jen gives a round of applause to the Winter 2025 season of anime that just wrapped up, and talks about how it's really nice that two vastly different shows are getting love from audiences.   

The Australian Islamic Medical Association (AIMA) represents Muslim healthcare professionals who are integral to Australia's health sector. Each year, the association organises nationwide blood donation campaigns, where the voluntary participation of students and medical professionals plays a vital role—not only in raising awareness but also in strengthening coordination and access to blood donations during the annual drive. - آسٹریلین اسلامک میڈیکل ایسوسی ایشن (AIMA) آسٹریلیا کے صحت کے شعبے میں خدمات انجام دینے والے مسلم ہیلتھ کیئر پروفیشنلز کی نمائندگی کرتی ہے.یہ ایسوسی ایشن ہر سال پورے ملک میں بلڈ ڈرائیو مہم کا انعقاد کرتی ہے، جس میں طلبہ اور طبی ماہرین کی رضاکارانہ شمولیت نہ صرف آگاہی پیدا کرنے میں اہم کردار ادا کرتی ہے بلکہ سالانہ بلڈ ڈونیشن ڈرائیو کے دوران خون کے عطیات کے رابطوں اور فراہمی کو بھی مؤثر بناتی ہے۔ڈارون میں قائم نارتھرن ٹیریٹری چیپٹر آف AIMA کے ساتھ کام کرنے والے رضاکاروں کی آراء جانئے۔

In this episode of HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sits down with entrepreneur, author, and Melissa & Doug Toys co-founder Melissa Bernstein for a deeply honest conversation about meaning, creativity, and reinvention. Melissa shares the surprising story behind building one of the most beloved toy brands in the world, the painful journey of letting that company go, and how that experience led her to create Lifelines, a new company focused on sensory and creative tools for wellbeing. Together, Nancy and Melissa explore why creativity is essential to our mental health, how entrepreneurship often begins with uncertainty, and why using our hands to create may be more important now than ever.

Longtime Catholic writer Mary DeTurris Poust is our guest on this episode of Deacons Pod. A former Director of Communications for the Diocese of Albany, NY, Mary has been a reporter, editor, and columnist for multiple diocesan newspapers. She also is author of several books on spiritual topics, leads retreats, and serves as a spiritual director. Her blog and website are called "Not Strictly Spiritual." "Life Lines" is the name of her column and podcast. In this episode, Deacon Mike Hayes (one of the Paulist Deacon Affiliates) speaks with Mary about several topics, including a column and retreat day she created called "You Can't Fail Lent." "Sometimes, maybe where we are being called to go in our Lent is somewhere different than what our agenda was. Maybe God has a different plan for us," says Mary.

Lowlights And Lifelines - Matthew 14

Britney Spears just secured a reported $200 million for her music catalog and somehow we're still arguing about who has the better investment strategy — her or Justin Bieber. In this episode of The Rizzuto Show, we break down pop star bank accounts like we're certified financial advisors (we are not), debate whose catalog is actually worth more, and pitch the revolutionary idea of putting $200 million into a CD and just vibing off the interest forever.Then we hit you with a study that claims your average commute is worth over $8,000 a year. That's right — the time you spend sitting in traffic listening to this comedy podcast technically has a dollar amount. So congratulations, your daily entertainment comes with emotional support and questionable financial implications. We do the math, question our life choices, and decide that at least you're spending those 222 hours a year with a funny podcast that doesn't charge admission.But the crown jewel of today's chaos? A fresh round of Gay Bar or Steakhouse — the most deceptively impossible game in morning talk show history. Establishments like “The Blazing Saddle,” “Wolf Lodge,” and “Silverado” have us second-guessing geography, masculinity, and common sense. Lifelines are used. Friendships are tested. Logic is abandoned. Somehow we end with a winner, but not before Moon spirals about Portland and we collectively admit this is the hardest 50/50 shot in radio.We also dive into some serious local news out of St. Louis, including a disturbing Starbucks drive-thru shooting and a substitute teacher situation in St. Charles that proves reality continues to outdo satire. Because nothing balances celebrity news and daily humor quite like real-world chaos.If you're here for pop culture commentary, entertainment gossip, weird news stories, sarcastic humor, and a daily comedy show that doesn't take itself too seriously — welcome home. This comedy podcast is your daily reminder that the world is ridiculous and at least we can laugh at it together.New episodes drop every weekday because apparently we enjoy the chaos.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This message is beautifully full of personal stories, scriptural insight, practical keys and spiritual practices for walking with (and staying with) Jesus for the long haul.

 HEZBOLLAH'S SURVIVAL AND THE LOSS OF REGIONAL LIFELINES Colleague David Daoud. David Daoud characterizes Hezbollah as an ideological extension of Iran currently in survival mode as its lifelines in Syria and Venezuela weaken. While Hezbollah wants the regime to survive for power projection, Daoud suggests Iraqi militias are more likely to be physically assisting Tehran's crackdowns due to their proximity and lower combat losses compared to Hezbollah. To clarify the current state of the Iranian government, Jonathan Sai uses the metaphor of a "zombie regime": it may appear to be moving and in control, but it is functionally dead because it can no longer sustain its support base or provide basic necessities for its people.

On this episode, Nate returns to the mountain, aka the Monroe institute, to revisit those storied halls like a monk in an EEG headset, listening to frequencies designed to nudge his awareness just a smidge outside the factory settings. We also dig into Lifelines, Monroe's method for talking with the dead, along with bilocation, astral shenanigans, and a dash of remote viewing because why not.So settle in, tune up your brainwaves, and maybe keep one foot tethered to this plane of existence. Because we're heading back into the place where consciousness gets stretchy, time gets weird, and apparently the dead still check their messages.

When Hispanic survivors of intimate partner violence seek help, they face a gauntlet of unique cultural barriers that can make safety seem impossible. From family members who prioritize appearances over protection to faith leaders who frame abuse as a spiritual test, the path to safety is fraught with roadblocks that extend far beyond language differences alone.Teresa Gallegos, Director of Outreach and Accessibility at the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, brings profound insights to these challenges. Drawing from her experience as a nationally credentialed advocate, immigrant, and sibling survivor, Teresa walks us through powerful scenarios that illustrate how these cultural dynamics play out in real life. She explains why simply translating existing materials into Spanish misses the mark and how her groundbreaking "Juntos le ayudamos" (Together We Will Help Them) campaign took a fundamentally different approach.Instead of targeting survivors directly, this innovative campaign focused on "comadres" and "compadres" – the trusted allies who serve as crucial lifelines when survivors finally decide to share their stories. Teresa reveals how her team crafted culturally-specific radio spots, billboards, WhatsApp messages, and even old-school tear-off flyers that resonated with Hispanic communities across Kansas. Most powerfully, she shares how seeing these Spanish-language resources gives survivors a profound sense of validation: "You matter enough for someone to do this."Whether you're a service provider looking to better reach Hispanic communities or someone who might one day be that trusted "comadre" for a survivor, this conversation offers concrete strategies and commitment statements that can make all the difference. Join us to learn how small actions – from exploring your local grocery store's community board to implementing language access policies – can create pathways to safety for Hispanic survivors in your community.

Even the smallest actions can change the course of someone's life and, in turn, strengthen the broader community around them. Preventing a suicide or encouraging a person to hold on for just one more day can be influential acts when we know how to approach the subject. As a child psychiatrist, Dr. Diane Kaufman has dedicated her career to this very work. Diane described herself as a “poet, artist, internationally award-winning lyricist, humanism-in-medicine awardee, and retired child psychiatrist.” She also noted herself as “a suicide attempt and loss survivor with Bipolar II Disorder.” She is the founder and director of the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention. This nonprofit uses the power of art to “educate, connect, express, and heal”, as can be read about on their website. Diane is a certified Expressive Arts Educational Facilitator.Diane recommended calling or texting 988 in a crisis to get assistance with difficult conversations where suicidal ideation with or without a plan is occurring. The service is available free of charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In this episode of Cults, Culture, & Coercion, I sat down with her to discuss suicide prevention and how to lead a fulfilling life amid today's many challenges. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever fantasized about quitting your job, starting your own business, and finally doing something that feels 100% yours? It sounds amazing… until you remember that entrepreneurism also comes with risk, uncertainty, and about a million ways things can go sideways. So what does it really take to be an entrepreneur? In this episode, I'm joined by Melissa Bernstein - entrepreneur, creative, author, mother of six, and co-founder of both the billion-dollar toy company Melissa & Doug and the wellness brand Lifelines. Melissa shares what it really takes to be an entrepreneur: the resilience to weather constant storms, the patience to love the process for years before you see results, and the clarity of purpose that keeps you moving forward when everything feels like it's falling apart. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 The Dream vs. Reality of Entrepreneurship 03:50 Start With Curiosity: Research Before You Launch 06:50 From Ingredients to Mission: Let Ideas Simmer 11:59 Resilience in Action: Setbacks, Copycats, and Mindset Shifts 18:22 The 3 Ps: Passion, Patience, and Purpose 20:46 Purpose Over Profit: Building a Legacy Brand 22:10 Patience Pays: A Decade to Real Traction 39:00 Openness to Experience: Beginner's Mind and “New Eyes” 42:39 Protect Fragile Ideas: Share Only When the Vision Is Clear As you listen, reflect with me: What's the mission you feel so strongly that you couldn't walk away from it, even if you tried? Do you love the process of what you want to create enough to stay with it for decades? And are you running toward something that lights you up, or just trying to escape something you don't like? If this conversation with Melissa got you thinking more deeply about your own path, I would love to help you take the next step. You can schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my team. It is a no-pressure chance to share what has been on your mind, whether that is growing in your career, clarifying your goals, or building more meaning into your work. I believe everyone deserves support as they figure out what is next, and these free consultations are one way I can make that support accessible. My hope is that you leave our time together feeling more clear, more encouraged, and more confident about where you are heading. And let's not let the conversation stop here. I'm always sharing new insights, encouragement, and little growth tools on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube - but what I really love is hearing from you. Your thoughts and questions often spark future episodes, so if something in this one lit a fire for you, let me know. Let's talk! xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-fourteenth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection Observer-Coach-Trainer, and MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, BDE S-3 Operations OCT, from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are two senior sustainers within JRTC: MAJ Amy Beatty, the Task Force Executive Officer from Task Force Sustainment (Combat Sustainment Support Battalion / Brigade Support Battalion) and MAJ Adeniran Dairo, the BDE S-4 Sustainment Observer-Coach-Trainer from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ).   This episode on logistics and sustainment in LSCO highlights the recurring friction points' units face when bringing their formations to JRTC. One of the central themes is the lack of clearly defined roles and responsibilities between the brigade S4 and the SPO. While the S4 is doctrinally responsible for sustainment planning and the SPO for executing those plans, experience gaps, personality differences, and poor coordination often blur the lines. This creates confusion over who produces critical products, such as the sustainment paragraph of the OPORD or synchronization matrices, leading to missed opportunities in planning and execution. The discussion stresses the need for deliberate conversations between S4s and SPOs—ideally starting at home station—to clarify duties, build trust, and ensure planning outputs are synchronized with maneuver requirements.   The conversation also emphasizes the importance of running estimates and the broader framework of the “5 Ls of Logistics”: LOGSTATs, LOGSYNC matrices, LOGSYNC meetings, LOGCOP, and LOGPACs. Too often, junior officers and commodity managers fail to update their estimates as operations progress, leading to mismatched forecasts, overestimations, or shortfalls that erode trust between maneuver and sustainment elements. This disconnect compounds when formations apply blanket percentage increases at each echelon, inflating requirements far beyond reality. Solutions discussed include dual reporting between FSCs and BSBs to balance individual consumption data against bulk stocks, prioritizing survivability over efficiency in sustainment operations, and treating the transition from bulk to individual commodity distribution as a battle drill rehearsed at home station. Ultimately, survivability, trust, and disciplined sustainment practices are framed as decisive factors in ensuring brigades can fight and endure in LSCO.   Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.
