Send us a textThe prodigal map returns! After three long years of increasingly frustrating updates that drove away casual players, Call of Duty Warzone has finally listened to its community by bringing back Verdansk – and it might just be the game's saving grace.Stepping back into the familiar terrain feels like rediscovering an old favorite book. The buildings, sightlines, and strategic positioning that made the original Warzone so captivating are all here, but with thoughtful improvements that address previous shortcomings. The addition of natural cover throughout previously exposed areas, swimmable water bodies, and a refined loot system create a more balanced experience without sacrificing what made Verdansk special in the first place.For casual players who might only get a few hours of gameplay each week, this update represents a significant win. The return of map knowledge as a competitive advantage means that even if you can't dedicate eight hours daily to mastering movement mechanics, you can still leverage your familiarity with the environment to outsmart opponents. The one-shot headshot capability of sniper rifles has returned, vehicles can once again be countered effectively with explosives, and the original Gulag provides a balanced 1v1 environment that feels fair for both competitors.Perhaps most importantly, this update strikes the right balance between nostalgia and innovation. Rather than simply repackaging old content, Activision has carefully integrated modern improvements while maintaining the core experience that made Warzone a phenomenon in the first place. The floating loot visualization, progressive ground loot quality throughout match phases, and subtle terrain adjustments all enhance gameplay without fundamentally changing what worked.If you've been away from Warzone due to frustration with previous updates, now might be the perfect time to drop back in. The learning curve is significantly reduced for returning players, and the more balanced gameplay creates opportunities for both tactical play and high-octane action. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer, Verdansk's return offers the most accessible and enjoyable Warzone experience in years.Support the show

In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, Tami sits down with her Bestie and Soul Sister, Brittany, to explore the raw, unfiltered journey of emotional growth, midlife transitions, and learning to love our mess.

Together, Tami and Brittany unpack the emotional layers of midlife "crisis" (or awakening), the freedom in vulnerability, and how true healing begins when we stop trying to fix everything and start feeling everything. They discuss how to process anger, redefine success, support other women without feeling like a burden, and hold space without becoming the “fixer.” The episode also explores spiritual signs, intuitive nudges, and the importance of safe spaces where hard conversations aren't just normalized—they're necessary.

What's really holding your learners back from absorbing the information they need? We've all been through training at some point that's either confusing or too broad, or perhaps the kind that puts you to sleep. The truth is that training and learning design are complicated. It's a balancing act between the learners themselves (how they learn, their interests and attention span), the designers (their desire to create engaging content), subject matter experts (who have the knowledge but aren't always the best teachers), and then the organization, which has its own goals to achieve.So where does learning design typically fall short? In this episode, we welcome Sara Sorenson, Product Enablement Manager at Muck Rack, and Tim Slade, Founder of The eLearning Designer's Academy, to explore the top mistakes they see in learning design, how we can get better at creating training, plus some things learners could do to help that information stick.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 - 02:45 Introduction to Sara and Tim 02:45 - 05:50 The biggest thing organizations are getting wrong about learning05:50 - 11:01 How should organizations use subject matter experts?11:01 - 14:29 Why sometimes organizations need processes, not training14:29 - 20:37 What are learners getting wrong20:37 - 25:20 Why learning at work is different to the learning experience in school or college 25:20 - 30:07 How can learning designers help learners feel okay about mistakes30:07 - 37:17 What else can we do to help learners achieve the ideal outcome37:17 - 38:13 OutroImportant links and mentions:Connect with Sara on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarasorensonid/Connect with Tim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sladetim/Visit The eLearning Designer's Academy: https://elearningacademy.io/Subscribe to The eLearning Designer's Academy by Tim Slade: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2CE3YBPX53oeKVsiTbhX2w?sub_confirmation=1

Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, cybersecurity expert Mark Jackolski, Director of Risk and Compliance at Show Proof, shares his journey from Long Island technician to national leader in cyber compliance. With a foundation in information systems from Stony Brook University, Mark discusses how his passion for technology evolved into a career focused on helping organizations meet rising cybersecurity standards. The heart of the conversation is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a framework initiated by the Department of Defense to ensure that contractors protect controlled unclassified information. Mark explains that while compliance with NIST 800-171 has been required since 2017, CMMC introduces verification—organizations must now demonstrate their cybersecurity posture through third-party assessments to remain eligible for federal contracts. Beyond meeting DoD requirements, Mark describes how CMMC builds reputational credibility, calling it “the currency of trust.” He emphasizes the strategic advantage of showing compliance through a recognized badge rather than repeated explanations, which streamlines the contracting process and establishes confidence with partners and clients. When asked how organizations should begin preparing, Mark advises starting with people: appointing a program leader, engaging executive buy-in, and mapping where sensitive data flows. He warns against relying on underqualified partners and stresses the importance of assessing technical, administrative, and physical requirements early. Missteps—like poor documentation or unclear scoping—can lead to wasted time and resources. Finally, Mark highlights the growing relevance of CMMC beyond the DoD. New regulations aim to standardize data protection across all federal agencies, meaning businesses even tangentially involved in government work may soon fall under its scope. As CMMC requirements become embedded in contracts by summer 2025, organizations that prepare now will gain a competitive edge in the expanding defense and government market. 5 Key Points CMMC Explained: The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification verifies that organizations working with the Department of Defense meet NIST 800-171 cybersecurity standards. Strategic Advantage: Earning CMMC builds trust and provides a significant edge in securing government contracts by signaling a strong cybersecurity posture. Preparation Starts with People: A successful CMMC journey begins by appointing accountable personnel, securing executive alignment, and clearly mapping the flow of controlled unclassified information (CUI). Pitfalls and Guidance: Common mistakes include working with unqualified providers and underestimating documentation requirements. Mark recommends finding certified experts through the Cyber AB marketplace. Growing Scope: CMMC will expand beyond the DoD to other government agencies, making early adoption a strategic move even for subcontractors or non-defense contractors. 5 Key Quotes “It's the currency of trust.” – Mark on how CMMC serves as a reputation badge in the defense industry. “Start by appointing somebody to oversee the entire process.” – On the critical role of leadership in compliance efforts. “Documentation is key—not just technical controls, but the processes and people behind them.” “If you're going to develop a policy or some other procedure, there has to be buy-in from the organization.” “CMMC started with the DoD, but it's going to expand to other government agencies. This is just the beginning.” About Our Guest Mark Jackolski is a creative and team-oriented cybersecurity professional with a deep-seated passion for technology. He specializes in assisting small to medium-sized businesses in enhancing their security posture and achieving compliance with industry standards.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. sits down with Mark Mayer, Ph.D., clinical associate professor at the Kelley School of Business and former brand manager turned humor scholar, to explore the serious power of being funny in fundraising. Mayer's deep dive into advertising and branding reveals that humor isn't just a crowd-pleaser, it's a message-multiplier. “You don't want it just to be funny,” Mayer notes, “you want it to achieve something, like increasing donations or building trust.” It's not about getting laughs for laughs' sake. It's about crafting meaningful connections, with a wink and a smile. But before you throw on a clown nose at your next gala, hold your horses. Humor, Mayer warns, is a double-edged sword, one that can charm or cut depending on how it's wielded. Missteps in tone can make a joke go from “ha-ha” to “uh-oh” real quick. The key is context. Know your audience, stay far away from controversial topics, and when in doubt, test that punchline on a trusted friend first (ideally one who doesn't control your payroll). And for the love of all that is professional, avoid trying your tight-five comedy routine on donors unless you're sure it won't backfire like a bad dad joke at a funeral. One of Mayer's golden rules? Start with self-deprecating humor. It's safe, it's humanizing, and hey, it's the one place where making yourself the punchline can earn respect instead of ridicule. Mayer uses it all the time in the classroom, poking fun at his age or his bafflement with TikTok reels (Relatable™). It breaks the ice without breaking trust. And if a joke flops? Well, joke about that too. Embrace the awkward, just don't drag anyone else down with you, especially if there's a power dynamic at play. Ultimately, Mayer reminds us that fundraising is about relationships, not transactions. Humor, when used thoughtfully, can transform a sterile donor interaction into a warm, authentic connection. As relationships deepen, shared laughter, even those beloved “inside jokes,” can build the kind of trust that keeps gifts coming year after year. But remember: you're not Dave Chappelle, you're a fundraiser. Keep it light, keep it kind, and keep your mission at the heart of every chuckle. Because when done right, a well-placed joke isn't just funny, it's fundraising gold.
Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
If you have ever felt disconnected with your spouse- particularly in the area of communication- this episode is especially for you. Steven and his wife, Tracy, walked through more than two decades of disconnection. Twenty-five years is a long time to feel lost in your marriage. To feel like no matter what you try, you just can't find your way back to each other. They loved God. They were raising six children together. They wanted their marriage to thrive. But somehow, they kept missing each other. Their communication felt off, and it wasn't just about words—it was about how every part of their life as a couple felt misaligned. Marriage Problems After 25 Years: Feeling Stuck and Disconnected Steven and Tracy did what many couples in their situation try to do. They sought help. They met with counselors and pastors. They heard wise advice. But for some reason, it just didn't seem to stick in their day-to-day lives. They felt like they were doing all the right things, yet their relationship still felt strained. The alignment they hoped for—spiritually, emotionally, practically—kept slipping through their fingers. It's hard to describe how wearying that becomes over time. You start to wonder if it will ever change, or if you're destined to just live alongside each other, rather than truly enjoy the beauty of partnership that marriage is meant to be. Signs of Hope: When One Spouse Begins to Change What began to open things up wasn't what Steven expected. He started to notice a softness in Tracy. A new warmth in her communication. She seemed more open, more willing to engage in conversations in a way that felt safe and inviting. And that tenderness in her sparked something in him. He realized, deep in his heart, that he wanted to experience that same kind of shift. He didn't want to keep circling the same frustrations. He wanted his heart to change too—not just so things would feel better, but because he longed to love her well. There's something so beautiful about that. Sometimes, it's the gentle transformation in one spouse that awakens the hope in the other. And that's exactly what happened for Steven. How Focusing on Personal Growth Can Transform Your Marriage What truly began to move the needle for Steven was recognizing where his focus had been all along. For many years, like so many of us, he had been looking at his wife's responses, her choices, her attitude. But when he started to reflect more deeply, he realized the bigger breakthrough would come from within himself. That shift—from focusing outward to focusing inward—was a game changer. Instead of waiting for Tracy to change, he opened his heart to the changes God wanted to do in him. He began to see how his own patterns of thought and communication were shaping their dynamic. And as he leaned into that growth, the atmosphere of their marriage began to change. Learning to Communicate Better in Marriage Steven described it as learning to dance. For years, he and Tracy were moving to different rhythms. Even when they had good intentions, they kept stepping on each other's toes. When you don't know the steps, no matter how much you love the other person, the dance feels clumsy. Missteps are frustrating and discouraging. But as Steven grew in understanding and grace, he began to move in rhythm with his wife. He learned how to lead with humility and gentleness. And as he did, Tracy responded. She became more willing to follow his lead—not because she was forced to, but because it felt safe and loving to do so. Their dance transformed from awkward steps to something fluid, connected, and beautiful. Why Humility Is Key to a Stronger Marriage What I find so deeply inspiring about Steven's journey is the way he embraced humility. He didn't cling to pride. He didn't stay stuck in frustration, demanding that his wife change first. Instead, he knelt before God—both literally and figuratively—and opened his heart to being transformed himself. That posture of surrender made space for God to work powerfully in his life and marriage. And it's a reminder for all of us: no matter how broken things feel, when we choose humility and invite God into our hearts and homes, He begins to weave a story of redemption that's more beautiful than we could have imagined. What a Healthy Marriage Looks Like After Healing Today, Steven and Tracy still face challenges, but what's different now is how they handle them. What used to take days, weeks, or even months to resolve now takes minutes—sometimes even seconds. They've learned to recognize when they're drifting out of alignment and come back quickly to unity and connection. Their marriage isn't just surviving anymore. It's thriving. There's joy. There's intimacy. There's a deep excitement about what God is continuing to do in their relationship. It's a miracle of grace, truly. There Is Hope for Your Marriage, Too Friend, if you find yourself where Steven once was—tired, discouraged, wondering if things will ever change—I want you to hear this clearly: there is a way forward. Take courage. Let hope rise in your heart. Open yourself to the possibility that the story isn't over—and that the next chapter could be more beautiful than you've imagined.

What do anxious kids, an autistic accountant, and Helen Keller have in common? They're all clues to why society's dropping the ball on teaching us to think—and be whole. In this episode, I unpack Jonathan Haidt's phone flop, the hidden genius of The Accountant, and my own dyslexic journey to argue one thing: we're not broken, we're just taught wrong. From audiobooks to free-range kids, there's a middle way out—agency, not denial or coddling. Plus, a nod to Helen Keller's real lesson: connection makes us human. Join me for a raw riff on building mental maps in a world that's lost its own. Thoughts? Hit me up.
What to listen for:“You're constantly writing and rewriting a contract with your dog.”Today, our hosts Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing tackle the power of consistency, the pitfalls of “lumpy” training, and why even small slip-ups can throw your dog off track. They break down how to build a rock-solid training environment and avoid the hidden traps that sabotage progress.“The clearer and more predictable you are, the faster your dog will learn.”Our hosts swap real-life stories about cue associations—the good, the bad, and the hilarious. From verbal missteps to accidental signals, they reveal how tiny inconsistencies can shape (or derail) your dog's responses.

The "period of mourning" we've all sleep-walked through since election night last November may be subsiding for most of us, but Sunday's '60 Minutes' segment - detailing the callous disregard for due process and lack of contrition (let alone empathy) for those wrongly sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison - was, for me anyway, a setback. I kept telling myself "this isn't who we are as a country," while watching it, but having let it set in a couple days, I've come to realize it's exactly who we are; and what we are is "awful." Even the Supreme Court confirmed it to be so.Among those appearing to be sent to CECOT by mistake is a 31-year old makeup artist and theatre buff - a gay Venezuelan who fled his home country because of his sexuality (being gay is rough in Venezuela) and political persecution last spring. He arrived at a legal port of entry and filed for asylum; you know, "the right way." Yet his wrist tattoos honoring his parents feature crowns and well, to Trump-era ICE folks, that clearly (note: sarcasm) means "Tren de Aragua," the notorious Venezuelan gang.Then there's the guy who - 14 years ago in his teens, and on social media - flashed the "rock on" / "devil's horns" hand signal - or to out-of-touch tight-ass white people "Tren de Aragua gang sign!!!!"Just when you think this administration has shown us all their shortcomings, they show us there's still more in the tank.Unfortunately, it reflects on all of us.
MAJOR MISSTEPS! Ret FBI Robin Dreeke Breaks Down How Police Could Have Caught The Long Island Serial Killer Sooner What happens when the person responsible for justice might be the one obstructing it? In this episode, Tony and Robin Dreeke dig into the alleged corruption surrounding former police chief James Burke and how his leadership may have actively steered investigators away from digging too deep into the Rex Heuermann case. Instead of outright suppression, was Burke just piling on other “righteous work” to keep the department too busy to notice what was hiding in plain sight? They explore how social bias against sex workers, systemic neglect, and fear-fueled silence in the trafficking world creates the perfect storm for predators to thrive. And even with good cops wanting to do the right thing, how can they make any progress when they're outnumbered, under-resourced, and told to move fast or move on? Could better protection and long-term trust-building with sex trafficking victims be the missing key to taking down entire criminal networks? #RexHeuermann #JamesBurke #GilgoBeach #TrueCrimePodcast #SexTrafficking #LawEnforcement #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Ret FBI Counterintelligence Chief Breaks Down The MANY Missteps Of Karen Read AFTER The Death of John That May Land Her In Prison Was Karen Read desperately fighting for her life—or just trying to control the chessboard from behind the scenes? In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to peel back the layers of alleged behavior in the Karen Read case that's less “legal drama” and more psychological rollercoaster. We're talking secretive messages, blog-fueled chaos, and a masterclass in what not to do when you're trying to prove you're innocent. According to prosecutors, this wasn't just emotional flailing—it was a calculated attempt to manipulate the narrative, intimidate witnesses, and turn a courtroom saga into something more fitting for reality TV. But as Dreeke points out, the clues aren't just in the evidence—they're in the personality patterns. Is this a case of someone who simply can't hit the brakes, or someone who never even saw the brakes to begin with? And what happens when your strongest instinct is control… but everyone starts watching? Did Karen Read's alleged actions reveal a consciousness of guilt—or just a lifetime of chaos finally catching up? #KarenReadCase #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #CourtroomDrama #BehaviorAnalysis #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode, we dive into the power of transparency, honesty, and proactive communication when things go wrong. Instead of waiting for a client to discover an issue, getting ahead of the problem and offering a solution fosters trust and partnership rather than a parent-child dynamic.

Send us a textTune into the first interview Kerry Brett gives on Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine to discuss the launch of her new book Shot At Love, A Celebrity Photographer's Lens on Dating and Finding Love. The latest best-selling release is a raw, hilarious, and deeply insightful story of the host of Shot At Love; Kerry Brett's journey from heartbreak to happiness will have you laughing, nodding in recognition, and rethinking your approach to finding love.When Kerry Brett found herself at what she calls "the basement of rock bottom" after a painful breakup, she turned to an unexpected source of hope: Tinder. But unlike many who approach dating apps with dread, this award-winning Boston photographer embraced the platform as a creative opportunity. With the same keen eye she used to capture celebrities like David Ortiz and Amy Poehler, Kerry developed a method for identifying potential matches, creating authentic connections, and ultimately finding love.Kerry's story is compelling because of her unique blend of self-deprecating humor, spirituality, and practical wisdom. Each chapter of her newly released book "Shot At Love" begins with a Sanskrit mantra, connecting ancient wisdom to modern dating challenges. From the "German Leo" to the "Irish Leprechaun" and finally to her successful Tinder match, Kerry's dating adventures read like a Boston version of Sex and the City – minus the sex, as she quips, because "she's Irish Catholic, 51, and her parents listen to her show."The most powerful takeaway from our conversation is Kerry's insight that the stories we tell ourselves often become our biggest obstacles. Whether it's believing you're "damaged goods" because of past relationships or thinking no one wants to date a single parent, these internal narratives limit possibilities. As Kerry emphasizes, "Beauty is an inside job" – how you feel about yourself ultimately determines how others perceive and treat you.Kerry's journey offers hope and a roadmap for anyone navigating the complex world of modern dating. Her transformation from celebrated photographer to award-winning podcast host and author demonstrates how following your authentic path can lead to unexpected opportunities and, yes, even love.Take your best shot at love by checking out Kerry's new book "Shot At Love" on Amazon or at shotatloveook.com, and tune into her podcast for daily doses of dating wisdom and inspiration.
