Most of us aren't failing because we don't "know what to do." We're stuck because we've trained ourselves that our commitments are flexible. We say we'll start tomorrow… then negotiate. We draw a line… then erase it. We set a deadline… then move it. This episode is about the simple shift that rebuilds self-trust fast: fewer lines, but stronger lines. Not more rules. Not more pressure. Just one clear line you'll actually hold—and the credibility that comes from keeping your word. ✅ Ready to build your defense (April 1 group)? If you're done negotiating and you want structure, accountability, and a plan that actually holds up in real life, join the Defense Foundations month-long group starting April 1. Apply for the scholarship Or enroll directly In this episode, we cover: The parenting "empty threat" dynamic and how we do the same thing to ourselves Why trying to "hold the line" on everything makes you overwhelmed and more likely to quit How broken commitments quietly destroy self-trust (and how to reverse it) The strategy: fewer lines, stronger lines so you stop living in constant negotiation How to choose one line that's small enough to keep, but meaningful enough to matter The core idea: When you try to fix everything, you end up fixing nothing. But when you choose one line and actually hold it, you start becoming believable to yourself again. Self-trust isn't built through intensity. It's built through integrity: kept promises, repeated.

Ever since the novel was invented, women have used it as a platform for sharing ideas about sexual consent. In this episode, Jacke talks to Dr. Zoë McGee about her new book Courting Disaster: Reading Between the Lines in the Regency Novel, which compares classic novels by Jane Austen, Frances Burney, and others with historic court records to show that today's arguments about consent are not a new phenomenon. PLUS Jacke reads a letter from Chekhov in which he describes the experience of watching a disastrous performance of his first play, Ivanov. The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal.

It's the first pay period TSA officers will not get a paycheck due to the partial government shutdown. Kris Van Cleave reports. For years, the U.S. government has doubted the stories of those suffering from AHI, commonly called Havana Syndrome. Now, victims hope that reports of a newly discovered weapon will finally vindicate them.

Candace Dellacona, an estates and trusts lawyer, explains steps to take to protect your loved ones. Daryl Hannah, who dated John F. Kennedy Jr. in the 1990s, criticized the series "Love Story" and its portrayal of her.

Strangely, Friends: A History of Cuban-Canadian Encounters (Between the Lines, 2025) delves into the rich, often overlooked history of personal and cultural connections between Cubans and Canadians. From the early days of the Cuban Revolution to the present, this book uncovers the stories of Canadians who were drawn to Cuba--teachers, artists, development aid workers, filmmakers, and activists--who left an indelible mark on the island, and Cubans, especially the musicians, who found a home in Canada.

From the classrooms of Havana to the jazz clubs of Toronto, this book captures the enduring bonds forged through music, education, and mutual curiosity, offering a fresh perspective on the power of people-to-people connections.

It's easy to think of the salvation God offers as either a forgiveness we received in the past or something that is only effective once we die. The book of Esther paints a picture of a God's rescue that offers redemption in the midst of our current circumstances and invites us to participate in a new beginning.

North Carolina's ACC baseball season begins on Friday with the Virginia Cavaliers coming to Boshamer Stadium for a three game series against the Tar Heels. It will be the first time since the 2024 College World Series the two long time rivals have matched up and the first time since the 2023 season the Cavs have made the trip south to Chapel Hill.

Both teams have had success in the early non-conference season with Carolina owning a 12-1-1 record while Virginia comes in at 11-2. Inside Carolina's Grace Nugent and Tommy Ashley break down the matchups across the diamond with a focus on pitching and defense for head coach Scott Forbes's Carolina team and a preview of new Virginia coach (and previous Duke coach) Chris Pollard's blended roster of former Blue Devils and holdovers from Virginia after Brian O'Conner left for Mississippi State in 2025.

The murder charges against Kouri Richins get the headlines. But prosecutors have built a parallel case about years of alleged financial exploitation — and the paper trail is damning.Nearly half a million dollars allegedly taken from Eric Richins through forged signatures, unauthorized credit lines, and misdirected tax payments. A $250,000 home equity line prosecutors say was opened without his knowledge. Credit cards maxed in his name. Tax payments redirected. And all of it while Kouri ran her own real estate business and closed multi-million-dollar deals.This wasn't a trapped wife with no options. The forensic accounting shows money flowing one direction: from Eric to Kouri.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins True Crime Today to examine the psychology of financial exploitation when objective reality contradicts the story someone tells themselves. Testimony suggests Kouri complained about their prenuptial agreement as though she were the one being controlled. How does someone construct that grievance narrative when the evidence shows substantial financial freedom?Eric discovered the fraud in September 2020. According to prosecutors, Kouri admitted it and promised repayment. She allegedly never paid a cent. He consulted divorce attorneys but stayed in the marriage.What happens psychologically when a partner catches you and stays anyway? Does that get interpreted as permission?The forensic accountant painted a grim picture: Kouri's business brought in $170,000 over five months while debt service exceeded $250,000. Prosecutors allege falsified bank statements and Eric's letterhead used to secure loans.Shavaun Scott breaks down entitlement, escalation, and what keeps someone doubling down when everything is collapsing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dante wakes back up from his unexpected sleep to find that the grand parade is heading off into the forest (or maybe the skies). He's in a panic that Beatrice has left, too, although the young woman of Eden comforts him and shows her now humble place under the renewed tree.Meanwhile, we readers are equally panicked . . . or at least de-centered, as we try to make sense of complicated similes and oblique symbolic meanings. COMEDY is getting more complex by the line. It's a game of interpretation we've been preparing to play since INFERNO, Canto I.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look at the passage just before the giant apocalyptic vision of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXII.To underwrite the many fees for this work, consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:21] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXII, Lines 70 - 108.

Get the latest updates from our LinkedIn page! https://onelink.to/treesandlinesWelcome back to another episode of the Trees & Lines podcast. Chris Rooney, Forestry Manager at Rhode Island Energy, joins us to discuss how legislation can be a powerful tool for utilities looking to deliver more consistent, effective vegetation management programs. Chris shares how Rhode Island Energy navigated a major corporate transition from National Grid to PPL Corporation and used that moment as an opportunity to advocate for state level legislation that formalizes their forestry planning process. He explains how the law brings municipalities to the table, enhances community notification, and creates a four year planning cycle with real stakeholder input. The conversation also covers managing a remarkably diverse urban forest across 38 cities and towns, building a Right Tree, Right Place program, and why collaboration with lawmakers, the PUC, and community partners is now central to Rhode Island Energy's vegetation management strategy.

March 4, 2026Today's Reading: Mark 7:1-23Daily Lectionary: Genesis 22:1-19; Mark 7:1-23“And he said, ‘What comes out of a person is what defiles him.'” (Mark 7:20)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.The topic of food can get complicated these days with all of the diets out there: keto, carnivore, Mediterranean, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. In Jesus' day, food was a controversial topic. Lines were drawn in the sand. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. There was a food fight going on, so to speak. Certain foods were deemed “clean” and therefore okay to consume, while other foods were considered defiled and dirtied, leaving a person ritually unclean and unable to worship at the Temple. Jesus stops the food fight when He says, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” (Mark 7:14b-15) The disciples have a tough time with this. It's not what their Jewish mothers taught them. They would've been well aware of the clean/unclean categories. Jesus rocks their world when He tells them that food can't defile anyone. Every bite passes the heart and is expelled. Jesus declares all foods clean! So then what makes a person defiled and dirty?Food isn't the real problem since the heart of the problem is the human heart! And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” (Mark 7:20-23) No one gets away guilt-free from that list! Ouch! Leaves us all realizing that we have had thoughts, words, and actions that defile and dirty us. We're all in the same boat. We confess together, “I, a poor, miserable sinner!” Dirty and defiled, we deserve damnation! Thanks be to God, we get what we don't deserve! Grace upon grace! Jesus is the One who defiles and dirties Himself! He touches the unclean leper, lifts up the unclean dead, eats and drinks with unclean sinners and tax collectors. He takes upon Himself the dirt and defilement that damns! He bears our sins to die our death! Yes, He cries out those words of abandonment that we'll never have to speak: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34). The Temple curtain is torn from top to bottom. The way to the Father is open to all through that godforsaken death on Good Friday. His blood cleanses us from all sin. “Take, drink, this is My blood shed for you for the forgiveness of all your sins.” There is food that sprinkles our hearts clean. Take, drink! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness; Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood; Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace: Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord my God. (LSB 631:5)Rev. Aaron Schian is pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Auburn, MI.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.We wander through life looking for freedom, only to realize we have listened to the devil's call to serve our selves, our pleasures, and our lusts. Instead of freedom we find ourselves enslaved to sin. We wonder if we have sinned too often, too deep to ever be welcomed back to the Father's home, back into His loving embrace. Have we lost our inheritance as children of God?In this short book, author Bryan Wolfmueller digs into the popular parable of the Prodigal Son to bring hope and aid to our hurting conscience. Wolfmueller proclaims the freedom-giving Gospel that through Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection, our place in the Father's house is secure, and forgiveness and welcome are ours in His outstretched arms.

Is your debt a strategic tool or a heavy burden? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a topic many entrepreneurs avoid: Debt Management. Debt isn't inherently "bad," but for inventory-based businesses, the wrong type of debt can quietly choke your cash flow and restrict your freedom. Let's break down the six common types of business debt—from traditional SBA loans to the predatory nature of Merchant Cash Advances—and learn how each impacts your balance sheet. Whether you are navigating high-interest credit cards or utilizing vendor terms (Accounts Payable), this episode provides the roadmap you need to move from "servant to the lender" to a confident, profit-focused CEO. Key Takeaways: The Debt Spectrum: Why predictable debt (like traditional loans) is power, while unpredictable debt (like capital loans) is a danger to your daily operations. The "Inventory Gap": How to strategically use Lines of Credit to fund long lead times without falling into a debt trap. Family & Personal Loans: Why documentation and amortization schedules are non-negotiable, even when the lender is "Mom and Dad." The Debt Payoff Plan: How to prioritize your repayments to regain control of your cash flow. Actionable Steps You Can Take Now: Audit Your Debt: List every balance, interest rate, and payment term you currently hold. Identify the "Predators": Prioritize paying off Merchant Cash Advances and high-interest credit cards first. Formalize Agreements: Ensure all informal family loans have written terms and a clear payoff schedule. Seek Expertise: If your books are a mess, consider hiring professional services to clean up your records so you can make data-driven decisions.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, CONCACAF Champions Cup, and general football chat. It was a another two-game week for the Whitecaps, with two victories in two different competitions and two clean sheets to boot. The 'Caps dispatched a tough test in Costa Rican side Cartagines on Wednesday night in Champions Cup action to set up a Cascadian clash with Seattle in the next round. They followed that up with a Canadian derby win against Toronto on Saturday. We pick over the bones of both matches and the main talking points coming out of them. Plus we round up this week's action around MLS West and look at how the battle to be the Canadian number one goalkeeper is playing out down in Florida between Max Crepeau and Dayne St Clair after their derby. It was a good week in Whitecapsland all round, with two key pieces signing contract extensions and some new corporate deals announced. We chat with one of those key pieces, MLS Defender of the Year Tristan Blackmon, about last year's heroics, his very eventful and headline-making offseason, his new deal, what the club and city mean to him, and the season to come. We also chat with a player starting out his Whitecaps journey, homegrown defender Mihail Gherasimencov, about joining the first team, his time in the CPL with Cavalry, playing internationally for Moldova, and his footballing journey so far. All of this plus we move onto the letter J in our Canadian Soccer A to Z series and music-wise, Scottish band Bis begin their residency as our Artists of the Month, The Pastels are the latest band to feature in our 40th anniversary tribute year to the C86 movement, and Football Violence Awareness Month begins again in Wavelength.

The griffin pulls the chariot or cart up to the denuded tree--the "widowed" tree--and the tree regenerates into a color reminiscent of other moments in PURGATORIO. But which one exactly?We're descending into the murk of mystery with new songs that can't be defined, with allegories that are becoming increasingly opaque, and even with classical references that seem somehow out of place in the overall arch of the glorious parade.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we begin to approach the strange and incomprehensible mysteries that lie at the end of the second canticle of COMEDY.To support this work, consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:24] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXII, Lines 49 - 69.

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.
