Jump on the Elevator of History with us and ride it back to America's involvement in World War I. When the US brought over a segregated unit of Black Men that were mostly a labor batallion, then they were loaned to the French Infantry who gave them French helmets, equipment, weapons and rations and put them on the front lines. For 191 days, the longest of any unit in the war they stayed on the front lines, never giving up ground, always pushing forward and cementing their legacy and their strengths forcing the US Army to reconsider it's segregation and the idea that Black soldiers weren't capable or competent fighters. And while it would take another thirty years to desegregate the US Military, it might not have happened at all without the persistence, dedication and heroism of the Harlem Hellfighters!

It's looking to be a rough season for our meat processing sector, with companies struggling to compete with abundant grass and a turbo-charged store stock market. Some companies have dropped published lamb and beef schedules by 10c/kg, and the decline has prompted concerns. The Country's Jamie Mackay explained further.

Send a textThis episode focuses on juveniles and juvenile law, starting with a discussion with a prosecutor and defense attorney who work in the juvenile justice system. They discuss their work, provide legal updates, and offer some sage advice for parents. The episode also includes statements from teens who want to become lawyers, a discussion with some lawyer parents who are raising teens, and statements from law students who volunteer to help teens impacted by the juvenile justice system. The episode concludes with a service spotlight that provides some insight into how minor trouble during the teens can contribute to major trouble later in life.Juvenile Justice: "Get in Your Kids' Business"Michael Hanson (Senior Counsel & Area Lead at Varghese Summersett) and Jamie Reyna (Juvenile Division Chief of the Harris County DA's Office) discuss some important distinctions between the juvenile justice and the adult criminal justice systems in Texas, talk about some relatively recent statutory changes that impact juveniles, and provide advice for parents of teens in light of what they've seen in their professional lives. Juvenile Goals: Future AdvocatesBehind the Lines asked high school students Yulianna Perales and Emily Castillo, who both want to be lawyers, why they are interested in studying law. Their short statements will remind you why you decided to enter this profession. *Coffee & Counsel: Parenting Teens*Parenting teen-agers has its challenges for parents, and certainly teens with lawyer parents likely think that has its challenges as well. This inaugural “Coffee & Counsel” segment includes three lawyers discussing having teen-aged children: Chastity Horne (Horne Rota Moos), Courtney Ervin (Hicks Thomas), and Derek Hollingsworth (Drumheller, Hollingsworth, & Monthy). While there is some legal information included in the discussion, such as what advice to give a teen who is learning to drive, it is also just a discussion among parents who want what is best for their children.Younger lawyer parents will also benefit from the wisdom of these more seasoned parents! Juvenile Allies: Law Students Making a DifferenceBehind the Lines asked three law students who have worked with juveniles during law school, Amy Abbott, Raisha Williams, and Claire Wills. These students all attend University of Houston Law Center. Thank you to BTL Interviewer Chandria Jackson for recruiting these guests. *Service Spotlight: The Beacon*Interviewer Ciara PerritanoNew BTL interviewer Ciara Perritano talks with Stephanie Marrone (Managing Attorney, Beacon Law) about the services Beacon Law offers to help unhoused individuals get back on track. Topics include how issues that may have happened while clients were juveniles such as having a truancy or driving without a license violation, impact their housing status, and how Beacon Law and its pro bono volunteers can help. This segment provides substantive legal discussion about the different types of legal issues impeding clients from getting IDs and housing, such as name changes, expunction, and sealing.

Kai Jones is one of the most talented young backcountry skiers in the U.S., turning professional at just 13 years old. In early 2023, he broke both of his legs in a backcountry skiing accident, spending months in a wheelchair and questioning whether he'd ever return to the sport. Last season marked a major comeback, as Kai became the youngest skier to descend the Otter Body route on Grand Teton and released multiple ski films that document his evolution as a big‑mountain skier.

Why do some people remember things effortlessly while others repeat information over and over and still forget it? In this episode, Michael looks at what research on actors reveals about how memory really works. Drawing on studies by psychologists Helga and Tony Noice and the remarkable story of John Basinger — who memorized all 10,565 lines of Milton's Paradise Lost starting at age 58 — we look at why understanding something beats repeating it every time. If you're a student, a performer, or just someone who wishes they could remember things better, this episode will change how you think about learning.

Cold calls fail in the first 10 seconds because reps sound scripted or overly aggressive. In this episode, Brandon breaks down five battle-tested cold calling lines that consistently earn attention and booked meetings. You'll learn when to use each line depending on prospect mood, how to disarm resistance with control and honesty, and why curiosity-driven openers outperform feature-based pitches. If you want cold calling to work this year, start with language that feels human — not salesy.

lines that held secrets of past civilizations.Es: Luz y Mateo se encontraban allí, cumpliendo una promesa.En: Luz and Mateo found themselves there, fulfilling a promise.Es: Su padre siempre había soñado con ver las Líneas de Nazca, pero la vida no le dio esa oportunidad.En: Their father had always dreamed of seeing the Líneas de Nazca, but life did not give him that opportunity.Es: Ahora

Is test prep a lifeline or a scam? Jessica Wynn reveals who's really cashing in on your SAT anxiety here on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1288On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The test prep industry is a multi-billion-dollar machine built on manufactured anxiety — not better education. Companies exploit the fear that a single test determines your entire future, turning parental stress and student panic into a lucrative marketplace where confusion plus fear equals profit.The same corporations that create standardized tests often sell the prep materials to pass them — a staggering conflict of interest. It's vertical integration at its most cynical: they've engineered both the problem and the solution, and students pay on both ends.Standardized tests like the SAT don't predict college success as well as high school GPA does, and access to expensive prep widens inequality rather than leveling the playing field. Kids in the top 1% of income have a 1 in 4 shot at elite schools — kids in the bottom 20% have a 1 in 300 chance.Social media has supercharged test prep anxiety, turning studying into a performative competition. Students spiral comparing their materials and scores to strangers online, and prep companies profit without even advertising — the students do it for them through posts and affiliate links.You don't need to spend a fortune to prepare well. Start with official practice tests and free resources like Khan Academy, use proven techniques like spaced repetition and the Feynman method, and remember — one good resource used properly beats five expensive ones you never open.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Katrina Fitten. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to educate entrepreneurs—especially women business owners—on how to secure funding responsibly, avoid scams, and develop a strategic financial plan. It also highlights Katrina Fitten’s expertise as CEO/CFO of New Day for You Financial and her mission to help startups and small businesses access capital. Key Takeaways Funding Opportunities & Qualifications Katrina helps women business owners secure up to $100,000 in 100 days or less, with same-day approval and next-day funding. Basic qualifications include: Credit score of 680+ Existing credit lines (at least $10,000) A clear business mission and low-risk profile. Avoiding Scams Beware of unsolicited emails/texts promising easy money. Do your homework: Check companies on Better Business Bureau (BBB). Look for testimonials and partnerships with reputable banks (e.g., Chase, American Express). Never share sensitive information without verifying legitimacy. Importance of a Business Plan Funding is not free money—you need a strategic plan. Katrina calls it a “money mission”: know exactly how funds will be deployed. Without a plan, money disappears quickly, leading to debt and bad credit. Family & Friends Lending Treat personal loans like business loans: Have written agreements with terms, repayment schedule, and penalties. Decide upfront if it’s a gift or a loan. Services Offered by New Day for You Financial SBA loans, equipment loans, purchase order financing. Lines of credit and 0% interest credit cards (18–21 months). Credit card stacking for higher funding amounts. Credit restoration referrals for those with poor credit. Success Story Example: A tax accountant secured $160,000 in less than a week due to strong credit, revenue history, and a solid business plan. Notable Quotes “If you don’t have a plan for your money, your money will have a plan—and you’ll look up and it’s gone.” “We don’t want to be out here racking up good debt and then you’re not going to be responsible.” “You have to vet companies. Go to BBB, Google them, and check their credibility.” “If I give you money, I decide—is it a gift or a loan?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Katrina Fitten. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to educate entrepreneurs—especially women business owners—on how to secure funding responsibly, avoid scams, and develop a strategic financial plan. It also highlights Katrina Fitten’s expertise as CEO/CFO of New Day for You Financial and her mission to help startups and small businesses access capital. Key Takeaways Funding Opportunities & Qualifications Katrina helps women business owners secure up to $100,000 in 100 days or less, with same-day approval and next-day funding. Basic qualifications include: Credit score of 680+ Existing credit lines (at least $10,000) A clear business mission and low-risk profile. Avoiding Scams Beware of unsolicited emails/texts promising easy money. Do your homework: Check companies on Better Business Bureau (BBB). Look for testimonials and partnerships with reputable banks (e.g., Chase, American Express). Never share sensitive information without verifying legitimacy. Importance of a Business Plan Funding is not free money—you need a strategic plan. Katrina calls it a “money mission”: know exactly how funds will be deployed. Without a plan, money disappears quickly, leading to debt and bad credit. Family & Friends Lending Treat personal loans like business loans: Have written agreements with terms, repayment schedule, and penalties. Decide upfront if it’s a gift or a loan. Services Offered by New Day for You Financial SBA loans, equipment loans, purchase order financing. Lines of credit and 0% interest credit cards (18–21 months). Credit card stacking for higher funding amounts. Credit restoration referrals for those with poor credit.

Notable Quotes “If you don’t have a plan for your money, your money will have a plan—and you’ll look up and it’s gone.” “We don’t want to be out here racking up good debt and then you’re not going to be responsible.” “You have to vet companies. Go to BBB, Google them, and check their credibility.” “If I give you money, I decide—is it a gift or a loan? There are rules to borrowing money.” “We say if you don’t get anything, we don’t get paid.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Face to face with Beatrice, the pilgrim Dante is ready for more revelation. Problem is, even after Lethe he's still doing things wrong and must be corrected by the women around the griffin's chariot.But what is he doing wrong? And why does the entire parade of revelation go into retreat? What indeed does that griffin symbolize? And how did we get from the intensely personal experience of Dante's confession and contrition to this much more global view of the allegories on the march?Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we begin to walk slowly through one of the most complex cantos (and certainly the longest canto) in all of COMEDY.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:17] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXII, Lines 1 - 27. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me about this canto, please find the entry for this podcast episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:31] A brief introduction to PURGATORIO, Canto XXXII.[05:19] Notes for the first nine lines (or three tercets) of the canto.[10:40] Dante's forgotten failings and Beatrice's on-going attraction.[12:04] Dante's intense gaze . . . but for or at what?[16:23] Beatrice and the problem of the "lesser thing" of revelation.[21:28] The parade of revelation (or of the church militant) in retreat with its "precious cargo."[25:01] The griffin's feathers, which prompt further questions about the griffin's allegorical meaning.[28:08] Bridging the personal and the universal.[31:04] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXXII, lines 1- 27.
Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on Toronto saxophonist Patrick Smith.Patrick has become a key player in the city's creative music scene. His new album, Words Underlined, came out in December on Lit Soc Records. It's the first release from the new label started by Sellers & Newell, a Toronto bookstore that moonlights as a music venue. Patrick recorded there with guitarist Dan Pitt and drummer Lowell Whitty. The trio plays without a bass, and the album alternates between composed pieces and full improvisations.A few episodes back, we featured a talk with Noah Franche-Nolan, who also collaborated with Dan Pitt. A link to that, and my November 2024 conversation with Dan, are both in the show notes.Patrick's here to talk about making music in the trio format, the Toronto scene, and why a bookstore was the right place to record.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from the album Words Underlined by The Patrick Smith Words Trio)–Dig DeeperArtist and Album:Visit Patrick Smith at patricksmithsax.com and follow him on Instagram and FacebookPurchase The Patrick Smith Words Trio's Words Underlined from Lit Soc Records, Bandcamp, or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceListen to Patrick's fusion project Pangea: Rebirth on BandcampSellers & Newell and Lit Soc Records:Sellers & Newel Secondhand Books — Toronto's beloved College Street bookstore and performance spaceLit Soc Records on BandcampWhy this Toronto bookstore is starting its own record label — Toronto Today, November 2025Toronto bookstore is moonlighting as an underground live music venue — BlogTO, September 2021The Musicians:Dan Pitt — guitarist and composer, TorontoBetween the Lines of Dan Pitt's 'Horizontal Depths' - The Tonearm, November 2024Lowell Whitty — drummer and founding member of the Heavyweights Brass BandMentors and Influences:Mark Shim — saxophonist; Patrick's primary teacher in New YorkMark Shim at Manhattan School of MusicDave Young — Order of Canada recipient; Oscar Peterson's longtime bassist, now based in TorontoDavid Liebman — saxophonist, educator, and major post-Coltrane voiceDeveloping a Personal Saxophone Sound by David Liebman — available via J.W.

This one's gonna hurt.And that's okay, pain is part of life. We all feel it, so let's give it the grace of our attention.You may have heard the phrase, “sore spot” or “trigger point” in reference to both metaphorical pain, and physical pain. Does your pain belong to a spot? Is that spot a circle, or more angular, or square? Does it have a third dimension? Is one sore spot connected to another?Pain is the impossible, words never touch what we feel, not really. By approaching pain in a new language of shape, colour, texture, dimensions, there is room for something new: curiosity. Instead of fixating on solution to the pain, or avoiding it altogether, we make a third option by offering our attention without a goal.Just to notice it with our drawing eye.=Watch on YouTube: =If you want to practice in sync with others, join my live Drawing Health class every Saturday on Zoom.

Esther is a signpost, pointing to God's salvation for the world. Ester makes the choice to rick her life in the hopes of saving the people, while Jesus knowingly gave His life to secure salvation and reconcile us to God. Our response is participation through obedience and dependence, not because God needs us, but because He invites us into His mission.
Gary & Shannon finally say the quiet part out loud. On this Weekend Fix, they spill the behind-the-scenes drama that no longer fits on the weekday show—office politics, deserted floors, and how the once-electric KFI 4th floor became the building’s forgotten dungeon. They react to Tim Conway Jr.’s eerie video shot near the old offices, debate why everyone now sneaks downstairs for bathroom anonymity, and declare their floor the unofficial “poop floor” of the building.Shannon suggests exposing the secret first-floor bathroom. Gary floats making a public bathroom protest upstairs. Someone says he’s starting to look like John & Ken. Signs are proposed. Lines are crossed. And the episode ends with Gary asking Shannon if she feels anything funny in her breasts—because apparently that’s where this conversation was always headed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jon Henriksson is a Stockholm-based double bassist and composer who has become one of the leading voices in the contemporary Scandinavian jazz scene. Born in 1996 in Gothenburg, his path to the bass started when a high school big band director gave him just two months to learn the instrument for a Christmas concert. His 2023 debut album Harmonia placed second in Orkesterjournalen's Golden Album readers' poll, and his new album Shapeshifter drops March 20th, 2026, featuring a quartet with pianist Rasmus Sørensen, drummer Jonas Bäckman, and saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist. In this conversation, Jon talks about discovering bird watching and nature photography during the pandemic as a counterbalance to musical life. He shares his compositional process of improvising at the piano and layering ideas on his phone, the Swedish folk high school system that's created a vibrant jazz pipeline to Stockholm, and the jam sessions he hosts twice weekly at Stompin in Old Town. Jon explains how he writes music drawing from Brazilian influences, folk, and pop alongside jazz traditions, and why he wanted Shapeshifter to give space for his favorite musicians to express their personalities.

In this episode, I encourage clarity, as our news is flooded with information about released files. I address concerns about the normalization of abuse through language, emphasizing the importance of correct terminology to protect victims and prevent further harm. I also discuss the role our biases play and offer tools for awareness and advocacy.Chapters00:00 Language & The Blurring of Lines in Abuse02:50 Desensitization & Normalization 04:18 Understanding Consent and Age of Consent (Legal Perspective)11:21 The Role of Bias in Language15:20 Call to Clarity and ResponsibilityWords matter. The language we hear seeps into our unconscious and has the ability to make what is horrific palatable. It has the ability to take something as horrible as child sexual abuse and human trafficking and gradually start to make it seem almost normal.Listen carefully and you will hear this shift in the public discourse around the release of millions of documents about many of our world's wealthiest and most powerful people abusing children and adults. You will hear a blurring of the lines - of what it means to be a child and what it means to be abused, assaulted, and trafficked. You will also hear a clouding of the distinction of who is responsible when abuse occurs.I'm concerned that the coverage — the amount and the language used (even by the well-intended) — is normalizing what we can't normalize. This blurring of lines only emboldens perpetrators who are out there right now. It puts more children and adults at risk. It prevents more victims from reporting abuse and it further harms anyone who has been abused.This episode is my attempt to counter that normalization, encourage clarity, and provide tools to help you recognize the types of words and phrases that blur important lines.EliteWe obviously live in a society that idealizes those with money, power, and celebrity. We project our innate gifts and greatness onto a few. We turn over our inner authority. We even project our inner wisdom onto bedazzling marketers posing as wellness and spiritual gurus.Those with the most depraved behaviors in our culture have our fascination, while humble, service-driven leaders are largely ignored. Should we be surprised that a group of sociopathic “elites” are leading many of our institutions?Our collective idol worship has helped elevate, support, and protect those who've harmed not only their victims, but all of us who rely on their institutions.Will these recent discoveries help us change course? How our society handles this open abscess will either lead to greater clarity and healing - or it will manage to infect us further.DesensitizationInevitably, this story, with all of its far-reaching implications, will be in the news for a very long time. The more we hear something, the less shocking it becomes.The amount of media content on this topic (even if in the direction of needed justice) is already leading to a collective desensitization. We are losing sight of the severe harm caused to the victims and survivors. (I include “victims,” because not everyone survived.)NormalizationA thoughtful popular podcaster who identifies as someone who wants justice for the survivors and accountability for the perpetrators said: “He may have had a sexual relationship with an underaged woman.” This podcaster is just one of many using this type of language. Even Steven Inskeep, a seasoned journalist with NPR, described the victims in the sex-trafficking case as “underage women.” After a number of listeners spoke out, NPR did an autopsy of sorts to understand how (in the line of editors and checks), this ended up being read on air. NPR made a public apology, explained how this ended up being read on air and what they were doing to prevent it from happening again.Many journalists recognize a need to understand and use appropriate language. But, most in independent media, who are actually investigating and discussing the files, aren't trained journalists and many are unintentionally contributing to the normalization of abuse.To say, “He may have had a sexual relationship with an underaged woman” blurs more than one lineFirst, adults and children do not have sexual relationships. Adults sexually abuse children. It is increasingly important to have clarity on this singular point and to have words that reflect this clarity.Saying “he had a sexual relationship with…,” implies that the child was able to consent.● Children are unable to consent as indicated by the law.○ Consent = voluntarily, actively, and knowingly agree to or grant permission for a specific act, proposed by another. There is more to the legal definition, which I'll get to for adults, but here, that doesn't matter, because, again, children are unable to consent.○ There is a significant power imbalance between children and adults○ When a child is abused, they are being harmed in that moment and will have enduring impacts from the abuse (emotional, psychological and physical).Along these lines “child prostitute,” and “child porn”, suggest consent. Saying instead that a perpetrator sexually abused, exploited and trafficked a child and saying sexual abuse materials recognizes that children are unable to consent.Second, “underage woman” is an oxymoronI can only imagine this term is being used to describe a physically mature teen. It's as if an adult is saying, “She looks like a woman to me.” It doesn't matter how physically mature a child looks, they are still a child. A child can not consent regardless of their physical appearance.But what about the phrase, “underage girl”?An “underage” girl is a girlThere is no reason to add the word “underage,” here. Children are children. If underage is being added, it is blurring that fact. Child, girl, boy, or minor are the terms to use.If we hear “underage woman,” or “underage girl,” over and over again, before we know it, we may be saying it without even thinking.What could the podcaster have said instead?“He may have sexually abused (or sexually assaulted) a child,”Age of ConsentIf children can't consent, you might be wondering about situations, such as a sexual relationship between a 17-year-old girl and an 18 year old teenage boy.Age of Consent = the age at which anyone can consent to anyone older.Depending on the state (here in the United States), the legal age of consent is anywhere from 16-18. But, even for states in which the age of consent is 16 or 17, there are laws that specify how much older the “older” person can be to whom the 16 or 17-year-old is consenting.The information coming out of the files is about perpetrators who were clearly well beyond 18 and early adulthood. In fact, they were old enough to have achieved prominence in their respective fields.What about the women who were of “the age of consent”? Here's where I'll share with you the complete legal definition of consent. (Since children are unable to consent, I didn't share the qualifiers yet).Consent means to voluntarily, willfully, and knowingly agree to, approve, or yield to a proposition or action proposed by another. Consent is given by a person with legal capacity without coercion, fraud, or duress. It requires active permission rather than passive submission or absence of resistance.So when Megan Kelly, an attorney/media personality, describes many of the victims as “barely legal” (as opposed to teenagers who were unable to consent to much older adults or young women who were coerced), the law would say, this is not legal and is abuse - a crime.From Normalizing to CelebrationAnother podcaster/journalist/academic who is seemingly on the side of the victims and survivors completed what seemed to be an appropriate and serious podcast by inviting his audience to share in the comments if they found anything “spicey” in the files. He smiled as he said this.Spicey = exciting or entertaining, especially through being sexually suggestive or involving conflict.“Spicey,” goes well beyond normalization to tantalizing. I don't think this is something he intended to communicate and I don't think he is unusual in this regard. You could say his listeners got a glimpse in the window - of feelings as he read the files.Our Words Are a Window Into Our Biases…and there are some windows, we may not want people looking in. We all have biases. It is simply part of human nature, part of the associations our neuronal connections have made. Our biases are influenced by our families, childhood experiences, our culture and what media content we consume. Our biases in this case, are also influenced by whether we have children or not and their ages and gender. I had to wonder, for example, if an adult who has a daughter would be as likely to say, “underage woman or underage girl,” than an adult who doesn't.Those who deny they have biases are more susceptible to their problematic impacts. We can all be more aware of how our own biases show up. The language we use is just one of the ways. Collectively, we can ask ourself, how do we consciously or unconsciously think about● children? Are they separate beings with their own potential and their own lives who are in their most critical developmental stage or are they less than adults and not worthy of the same respect and care? (This can also be a window into how worthy we were made to feel as children)● young women? Do we think of them differently than young men? Are we more okay with blurring the line between girls and women than between boys and men? How often would someone say “underage man,” or “underage boy” when it comes to sexual assault?● consent? Do we say she was “involved with” or use words like “prostitute” or “escort” when all evidence points to the person being trafficked?● abuse? Do we use language to describe the victim , such as “she was in a relationship with,” or do we use language to describe the actions of the abuser, he “assaulted”, “raped,” “coerced,” “exploited,” or “trafficked” her or him?● human trafficking? Do we even think about it? Do we even realize that, after drug trafficking, human trafficking is the second-largest criminal enterprise in the world? But for my medical license requiring me to stay informed about trafficking and how to recognize it, I may not be aware.A Call to Clarity & Responsibility While language can further diminish our humanity and recognition of human suffering, it also has the ability to elevate compassion and bring clarity to what matters most in a given situation, in this case the sanctity of childhood, the suffering of others and finding ways to prevent it.Though I rarely comment much on social media sites, I have felt a need, in this case, to do my small part to help bring clarity. When I notice language that normalizes abuse, I kindly point it out and offer an alternative, hoping maybe the person will even pay it forward.We all have the opportunity to notice when people unintentionally use language that blurs the line between children and adults, or suggests that victims are responsible. We don't have to let our silence suggest agreement. We don't have to go along or let it stand. We can all do our part to counter the eroding psychological, emotional and moral guardrails that prevent abuse from happening.We can also thank those who haven't lost sight of what is at stake. I noticed one young podcaster/attorney used words that convey the gravity and horrific nature of what he had been reading in the files. He appeared depleted and even sick, because he was. He hadn't lost sight of what the files are about - the systematic abuse of children and women by the very people our society chose to elevate to power. Nor had he lost sight of his responsibility to the survivors, to his listeners, to our humanity and to the truth.Wishing all of us the ability to maintain clarity in these challenging times.CourtneyAs always, I welcome your insights and observations.

On this episode we talk about how hunting on property lines can impact more than just how your neighbor feels about you. With recreational property values soaring, the hunting quality and experience means more today than ever to potential buyers. Shooting houses, deer stands, and feeders on the line are an indication of future problems to buyers, so it certainly does impact the marketability and buyer pool of a property. What can you do to mitigate it, and what are some alternatives?
