I also invited Mary, but she is out of town.M:What a pity! I was hoping she would come.(Text 2)M: If I were you, I'd just walk to work. It would take you about 20 minutes. Riding a bike is a good choice, too.W: I agree. But this week my husband is away on business, so I have to drive my kids to school before I go to work. I'm pressed for time, you know.(Text 3)W:It's 8:30, Dave, and you're going to be late for the meeting.M:Oh, my! I just have half an hour left. I can't believe I slept for 10 hours.(Text 4)M:Hi, Helen. Where are you off to?W: To the library. I've got a history paper due next week, and need to do some reading.(Text 5)W:Thank goodness! You're still here.M:What's up?W: I need your signature for this document. It's urgent.(Text 6)W:Are you all alone, Tom? Why not ask Mike to help you collect money for the Children's Centre?M:Well, he's working on his lab report. Could you come?W:I'd love to, but I won't be available until next week. I think Cathy will have some free time this week. Do you want me to pass on a message?M:That'd be nice. Thanks, Jane.(Text 7)W:Are you leaving for the railway station now, Jack? It's so early.M:Just avoiding the rush hour traffic. I don't want to be late.W: So you have to wait for about two hours? I don't think there's scenery to look at.M:Don't worry! I'll take a book with me.W:It's too noisy to read in the railway station. I would usually look around the shops while waiting for the train.M:But I've already got all the gifts for my parents and sisters. I don't need to buy anything. If I really can't focus on the book, I may phone up some friends I haven't talked to in a while.W:That's a nice idea. Betty told me last time that she often spent the waiting time writing a to-do list so that she'd not miss anything in the days to come.M:That's an awesome idea. I'll surely do that. Thank you, Judy. See you next year.W:Bye!(Text 8)W:Hi, Bill. You look troubled. What's the matter?M:Hi, Grace. I have a big decision to make. My uncle offered me a job as the lead engineer at his service station, and with good pay.W:That's wonderful, but are you going to quit college?M:That's exactly the problem. One side of me says, “Oh, go ahead! You can go back to collegeanytime. What job could you get after college that would pay you $15 an hour?That's $30,000 a year!”W:And then?M:And then, the other side says, “Hold it, not so fast! For all those years you were in the army, you planned to go to college so that you would have many job possibilities to choose from. You've planned your whole life around going to college. And now…”W: I can see it. It's true that with your experience in the army, you could do excellent work repairing cars if you accept the job. But you are doing very well now. Just think of the future. You will get better jobs.(Text 9)W:Hey, John. Can I talk to you for a minute?M:Sure, what's up?W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.M:Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?W:Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?M:No, I think that's okay. What do you talk about in the group?W:Well, every month we choose a new book. And then during the next meeting, we discuss it.M:What books have you read?W:Quite a lot. Recently we have read The Beautiful Mind and The Great Gatsby. Now we are reading The Kite Runner.M:The Kite Runner ? I've heard that's a good book. What's it about?W:It's about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s.M:That sounds interesting. I'd love to come.W:Great! The next meeting will be held in two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.(Text 10)W:Today, let's begin with note-taking techniques. Note-taking is an important skill not only for taking classes, but also for doing your job in the future.I'd like to draw your attention to certain points about taking notes. First,remember that note-taking should be 75% listening and only 25% writing, so don't try to write down every single word the teacher says. Ignore what is unimportant and write in phrases, not complete sentences. Second, leave spaces and lines between main ideas. You may want to add some information later. I find that some of you are very good at making use of color, mapping web, and symbols such as arrows, circles and boxes. I highly recommend these tools to all of you, because the use of them makes the outline more easily readable and interesting than the blocks of text. It also makes sure that important words stand out. Here are some examples.
In Folge #090 von Habsburg to go! reisen wir auf den Burgberg von Buda zur berühmten Matthiaskirche – jenem Ort, an dem 1867 Franz Joseph und Elisabeth („Sisi“) zu König und Königin von Ungarn gekrönt wurden. Doch diese Krönung war weit mehr als ein prachtvolles Zeremoniell: Sie war der Versuch, ein auseinanderdriftendes Reich zusammenzuhalten.Wir erzählen von der leidenschaftlichen und oft konfliktreichen Beziehung zwischen Ungarn und den Habsburgern: Die Reise führt von der Schlacht bei Mohács 1526, der osmanischen Herrschaft und der Rückeroberung Ungarns über die Freiheitskämpfe unter Franz II. Rákóczi und Maria Theresias Bündnis mit den ungarischen Magnaten bis hin zur Revolution von 1848 und dem folgenschweren Ausgleich von 1867.Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei auch Elisabeth („Sisi“), die in Ungarn fast stärker verehrt wurde als in Wien selbst. Ihre Nähe zu den Ungarn machte sie zur emotionalen Vermittlerin zwischen zwei Welten.Steffi nimmt uns außerdem mit zum 8. Juni 1867: dem Tag der großen Krönung in der Matthiaskirche – mit der Stephanskrone, dem Krönungshügel und einem Budapest voller Hoffnung auf Versöhnung.Am Ende geht es um mehr als nur ungarische Geschichte: Budapest zeigt wie kaum eine andere Stadt Europas den ewigen Balanceakt zwischen Vielfalt, Macht und nationaler Identität.

He spent much of his childhood in France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well,actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first,John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds, and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn't have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn't earn enough money to support his family, so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.

I didn't hear the bell, or I would have left earlier.Text2M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes?M: We'll need you to join the gym, and then you could find out which classes fit your schedule the best.Text3W: I'll see you at the theater.M: Better still, let's meet in the Red Lion bar to have a nice little talk.W: Good idea. And I'd love to have a drink there.Text4M: Hello, my name is John Arbor. And I'm calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday's Daily Mail.M: Yes, the position is still open.You could come over and have a talk with us.Text5M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me?W: Thanks! But I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested.Text6W: Did you know James went out of business?M: Really? When was that?W: Last month.M: That's too bad. He had owned that business for 15 years. What happened?W: I don't know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now. His sons are still so young; one is 13, and the other is ten.M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.W: I hope so.Text7W: Guess what? My mother's decided to go back to school!M: Why?W: Well, she always loved art, but learned business administration at college because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job.M: So, she wants to study art now?W: Yeah, oil painting. It's been her dream for a long time.M: It's nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation.Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her.W: You know, she retired last year and I'm leaving for the university soon. She needs to find something interesting to do.M: Well, maybe, if it's what she wants.Text8M: Dear listeners, for today's show, I have with my colleague, Mary Laney. She has been a radio TV reporter for many years.Mary, welcome to our show.W: It's a pleasure to be here.M: Would you please tell our listeners who most influenced your decision to become are porter?W: Both my parents had a great influence upon my choices of work. Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it.M: How did they do that?W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have, one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders, and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I've always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books,all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting.M: What about your mother?W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.Text9M: We all know that exercise is good for us. But sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn't really help our motivation much.W: Don't be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn't have to be that demanding.Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University, has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.M: Hmm...interesting.W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20%lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercise 150 minutes a week did pretty well, too,lowering their death risk by 14%.M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help?W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help.Text10W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers.Scientists have painted a long road red, yellow, and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. "The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,"biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngsters' feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer. And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

Thepronunciation is fine with me and its vocabulary is similar to English. But I'mfinding the grammar awful.W: Well, it takes a while to getit right.(Text2) W: I hope you can come to theparty on Saturday.M: I didn't know I was invited.W: Sure you are! Everyone in ouroffice is invited.(Text3)W: May I help you?M: Yes, when is the next train toLondon?W: Oh, let me check. It leaves intwenty minutes.M: One ticket, please.(Text4)W: Charlie, do you know arestaurant called Bravo?M: Bravo… I know the name. ButI'm not sure where it is.W: It's on George Street. Thefood there is excellent.(Text5)W: Brian, I just had aninterview. They said they would make a decision soon.M: What are your chances ofgetting the job?W: Quite good. I think theinterview went very well.(Text6)M: Let's go kite-flying, Judy.It's such a lovely day.W: OK. But let me finish mychemistry homework first. Would you mind waiting for half an hour, Max? Thereare a few sports magazines on the table. M: Isn't the chemistry homeworkdue next Wednesday?W: Yeah. But I have a full day ofclasses on Monday and a birthday party to attend on Tuesday.M: All right then, you go ahead.And I'll catch up on some sports news while waiting.(Text7)W: We've been on the computer allthe time lately. Why don't we do something different Sunday afternoon?M: Well, we could go to aconcert...W: But I don't think we can getthe tickets this late.M: Then, what about playing acomputer game? There's a really cool new one we could download.W: Hmm. I don't know. I feel likeI need to do some exercise. We could probably just walk by the lake, and I'llask Mike to join us.M: That sounds like fun. Let's doit!(Text8)W: Welcome to our program, Dr.Peterson. Let's see what questions we've got for you today. Here's one: Cancats see color?M: Sort of. In the wild, manycats hunt at night because their eyes are designed for low light. Your catcan't see bright colors, such as red and green, but it picks up more shades ofblue, yellow, and gray than humans do.W: And why do cats “give” deadbirds to their owners?M: When your cat drops a deadbird at your feet, she isn't bringing you a present. Most cats just drag foodhome because it's a safe place to eat. A cat's mom also brings home things toher children to help them practice hunting. So a female cat without childrenmay bring these “treats” to her owner instead. You may not like them, but atleast, you don't have to write her a thank-you note.(Text9)W: How is little Ed doing at thekindergarten, Jack?M: Oh, he's doing fairly well.It's been three weeks since he first started going, so Macy and I are prettyused to it now. You should have seen Macy cry when Ed was about to set off onthe first day, though!W: I think that's a normalreaction for mothers. You live quite close to the kindergarten, don't you? Howdoes he get there?M: Macy walks there with himevery morning, unless the weather is bad. When it rains, they'll drive.W: And is Ed enjoyingkindergarten?M: Yeah, he loves to have otherkids to play with. He keeps telling us things they do together.W: What do the teachers at thekindergarten say about him?M: They said he is bright andthat he's starting to learn how to tell time. Isn't that fantastic?W: That is fantastic. It soundslike everything goes well.(Text10)W: My name is Emily. I had been adancer for quite a long time—I started studying ballet when I was six yearsold. By the time I was nine, I was dancing five days a week. When I waseighteen, I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wantedto do it professionally. So, I applied successfully for the training program atthe School of Toronto Dance Theater and moved to Toronto to attend the program.That was the period of time I enjoyed most in Toronto. I graduated onscholarship and danced professionally for ten years, but after all those years,I found that dance was gradually becoming something that felt like more of aburden than a joy; I found myself increasingly unwilling to drag myself todance performances, so I quit. I do miss dance often, but it makes me happy tothink that I'll never have to go to another training session again.
Kasus dugaan kekerasan seksual di lingkungan pesantren kembali memicu perhatian publik. Modus mengaku sebagai ulama kharismatik, wali, hingga keturunan Nabi disebut kerap digunakan oknum untuk membangun doktrin dan memengaruhi para santri maupun masyarakat. Fenomena ini mendorong munculnya desakan evaluasi terhadap figur-figur yang mengatasnamakan otoritas agama demi kepentingan pribadi. Mengapa klaim kesucian dan garis keturunan masih begitu mudah dipercaya? Bagaimana masyarakat dapat membedakan penghormatan terhadap ulama dengan kultus yang berbahaya?Simak wawancara bersama Pakar Hukum-Pengajar di Univ Airlangga yg juga pengurus PWNU Jatim, Dr. H. Moh.

We still have two hours.(Text4)M: I am so tired of driving all those hours to work.W: Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to drive two hours to work each way. But now I live within walking distance of my office. I don't even need a bike.(Text5)W: Hi, Andy! I didn't see you in Prof. Smith's class yesterday. What happened?M: Well...

Could you tell me about the hotel I'm going to stay at?M: Yes, of course! The Grand Hotel opened in 1990, and it sits on the seaside along the South Coast Highway.It is the most beautiful hotel here.W: That sounds great!M: And there are some restaurants outside, so at dinnertime, you'd have a lot of choices.W: That's really nice!

Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I wanted to tell you today is this: Education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter. But I could not read the newspaper, and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this. So I entered the City College to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college, because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you're 15 years old in my country,you finish school and then learn a trade, and that's exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes, and history classes, and I became a full-time college student. And today, when I look back, I'm so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden I started making money because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well.

Let me explain a little about it. As you may know already, it's a required meeting once a week. I expect you to do all the experiments and keep the results in your lab notebook. I'll collect the notebooks every two weeks. You'll be graded on lab notebooks and quizzes. But the most important information I want to give you now is about safety. First of all, you must wear shoes that cover your feet in the lab. Tennis shoes are OK. Also, don't wear loose clothes, long scarves, big necklaces, or loose belts — they get caught in something or fall into liquid. Another thing to do for safety is cleaning up. Be sure to put the waste in the correct containers. We can't mix liquid with paper. This is extremely important. I don't want any fires in this room. You are responsible for washing out your own lab equipment and putting it away. If you don't do this, I will take away points from your grade. Nobody's going to clean up after you. OK, any questions?

Navigating Singapore’s evolving health insurance landscape. Synopsis: Every first Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. The rules for Integrated Shield Plan (IP) riders changed on Apr 1, 2026. New mandates from the Ministry of Health mean that riders that offer nearly full coverage can no longer be sold. They have been replaced by plans that require higher out-of-pocket costs in exchange for lower premiums. These new riders promote greater accountability in controlling escalating healthcare expenses. If you have an existing IP rider, you might wonder if you should "grandfather" your current plan, switch to a new one to save on premiums, or perhaps do without one?

Navigating Singapore’s evolving health insurance landscape. Synopsis: Every first Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. The rules for Integrated Shield Plan (IP) riders changed on Apr 1, 2026. New mandates from the Ministry of Health mean that riders that offer nearly full coverage can no longer be sold. They have been replaced by plans that require higher out-of-pocket costs in exchange for lower premiums. These new riders promote greater accountability in controlling escalating healthcare expenses. If you have an existing IP rider, you might wonder if you should "grandfather" your current plan, switch to a new one to save on premiums, or perhaps do without one? If you are just starting your healthcare journey, you need to understand why MOH is removing deductible coverage and doubling the co-payment cap from $3,000 to $6,000. In this episode, host Joyce Teo engages with a private sector surgeon and a health economist to discuss the new landscape of health insurance, how to think about your future healthcare needs, and the crucial role of personal responsibility.

Thanks for inviting me.Text 2W: Peter, how is the weather now? Is it still raining?M: No, but there's still lots of clouds. The weatherman said the sun wouldn't come out until next week.Text 3M: I'm sorry I was late for class today, Dr. Simpson.W: Well, I'll let it go this time. But you saw it disturbed the rest of the class.M: Yes, I realized that. I won't let it happen again.Text 4W: Hi, Mike. Listen, I'm coming back this afternoon, and I'll take a bus from the railway station. So, you don't need to come and pick me up.M: OK, take care, and see you soon.Text 5M: Jenny, there's an opening for an assistant manager in our company. You should give it a try.W: Thank you, George, but I've decided to travel a bit before finding another job.Text 6M: By the way, do you know what time it is?W: Well, it's a quarter to two.M: Oh, I've got to go.W: See Linda in the library?M: No. Actually, I'm going to meet with Professor Smith at ten past two. You may continue our project discussion with Michael.W: All right.Text 7W: Harry, guess what? I've just received an email from Pamela. She and Peter are coming down to see us this weekend.M: Oh, that's good news! We haven't seen them for ages.W: Yeah. The last time we met them was at our wedding three years ago.M: Did Pamela mention how long they'll stay?W: About one week.M: Great! I can't wait to show them around our new house.W: Me too. We haven't had any guests since we moved in here. If the weather is fine, we can have a barbecue in the garden.M: Good idea. I'll go to the market tomorrow to buy all the things we'll need.Text 8W: Hello, everyone. Welcome to our program. Today, we are fortunate to have a special guest with us. Some of you may have heard of him before. He's an artist. His works have received many prizes and have been shown in over one hundred exhibitions across the country — Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, to name just a few. His name is Chris Cucksy. So Chris, tell us a bit about yourself.M: Well, I was born in Springfield, Missouri, and grew up in Kansas. I didn't come from a family with wealth or position, but I did manage to get a master's degree in fine arts.W: When did you first start to make art? And what was the turning point in your life that made you an artist?M: I always liked drawing as early as I can remember, so right from then, I knew what I was going to be: an artist.W: What is it that always inspires you to create?M: Nature is the biggest inspiration.

I'll never find another apartment like it around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months for an empty apartment, either. So, I'm looking for someone to take it while I'm away.M: Um, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas. He is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August.W: Well, that's exactly when I'll be away!M: Tell you what: I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him.W: Well, thanks, Bill.Text 10W: I hope I've given you a clear idea of the schedule for your London weekend. And, before I finish, let me just give you some advice which should make your stay more enjoyable. Firstly, please do remember to put on some comfortable shoes. London is a big place, and whatever you do, you'll find yourself doing quite a lot of walking. So, comfortable shoes are really necessary. And secondly, let me ask you to please look after your money. Keep it safe at all times, and then you will not have any unpleasant accident, which could ruin your whole weekend. You'll find a copy of your weekend's schedule in your room. Take a look at it, and make sure you're clear about everything. Well, that's all from me for now. Go and leave your luggage in your rooms. I'll be seeing you here again in fifteen minutes. Goodbye for now!

It's the London Tea Trade centre. As you can see, it is on the North Bank of the River Thames. It is the center of an important industry in the everyday life of the British people. Tea is the British national drink. Every man, woman and child over ten years of age, has an average over four cups a day, or someone thousand five hundred cups annually. About 30 percent of the world's export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week's tea sale. It's amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea.

A miniszterelnök az elmúlt másfél évtizedben számos alkalommal fejtette ki, legutóbb a Mohácson tartott kampánygyűlésén, hogy fő célja nem a jó kormányzás. A titkos ambíciója a magyarok kishitű, pesszimista, cinikus lelki karakterének átalakítása. Ezt szokta a „merjünk nagyok lenni!” szlogennel leírni. Ennek az optimista motivációs kísérletnek a szolgálatába állította a sportot, a kultúrát, az emlékezetpolitikát és így tovább, de közben a hatalom megtartása érdekében elárasztotta az országot félelemre építő háborús, migrációs, átoperálós fekete kampányokkal, amik egészen más irányba igyekeztek formálni a magyarok világszemléletét és lelki attitűdjét. A nemzet lelki, mentális állapotát nehéz pontosan felmérni, de vannak jelek, amikből kiolvasható, hogy nagyon nem vagyunk a topon. Hol tart fejben a magyar? Erről agyalunk Krekó Péterrel, politikai pszichológussal, politológussal, a Political Capital Institute Igazgatójával.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
700 ICE Agents Out of Minnesota. Navy Downs Iranian Drone. Brutal Testimonies of ICE Abuses. Huge Layoffs at Washington Post. Measles Outbreak at Texas ICE Jail. Strap in! Former INDEPENDENT Minnesota Governor, pro wrestler, actor, Navy SEAL and all‑around badass Jesse “The Body” Ventura is finally on the pod—and he's not holding anything back. In this news-making new episode of Independent Americans, Ventura joins host Paul Rieckhoff for an extended, uncensored and exclusive conversation about Trump's ICE crackdown in Minneapolis, the raid on his own Roosevelt High School, January 6th, and why he believes America chose “the criminal over the Constitution.” He shares raw stories about his Vietnam service and his parents' World War II heroism, explaining why that family history gives him license to call Trump's ICE “the Gestapo” and accuse them of trampling core constitutional rights in his hometown. Ventura also pulls back the curtain on his personal history with Donald Trump—from Trump flying to Minnesota after Jesse's 1998 upset win, to their surreal New York dinner in NYC with a movie star that will surprise you, to how Trump “stole” Jesse's outsider playbook to capture the GOP instead of building a truly independent movement. He blasts Trump's WWE Hall of Fame spot, calls out fake tough‑guy politics, reacts to a planned UFC event at the White House, and warns about the danger of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and turning the U.S. military on American citizens. At the same time, he highlights rising resistance in Minneapolis and beyond, as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello and artists, young people and veterans of all kinds push back against ICE abuses and democratic backsliding. Looking forward, Ventura breaks down exactly how he won the governorship as an independent against the two major parties, the two things he thinks are key for independents to win, and how independent vets can follow his blueprint today through Independent Veterans of America. He talks about recruiting big‑name independents, the explosive growth of independents nationwide, and even floats a wild scenario that could send him to the U.S. Senate to confront Trump world from the inside. If you're part of the 45% of Americans who are independent—or just independent‑curious—and you miss hearing Jesse Ventura tell stories like only he can, this is your must‑hear episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

A beszélgetés a rendszerváltás utáni magyar irodalomkritika alakulását vizsgálja: hogyan formálódott meg a kritika nyelve és intézményrendszere a demokratikus nyilvánosság keretei között, és miként változott a negatív kritika megítélése az elmúlt évtizedekben.

Becoming a more experimental home cook through social media is such a good time. We discuss and share a couple ofinternet gems we have come across recently. A local businessman is a real POS and people are fighting back against his nonsense post his guilty plea of attempted strangulation (which should just be attempted murking right? Cause had the strangulation succeeded that's the result, right?). The Ohio legislation finally got its Cannabis law tweaks, but they aren't as awful as initially believed but still, kind of goes against the will of the voters. Box took a one tank trip down the road to Dover, Ohio and one, we get an Ohiogeography lesson in and two, he had a really great time. I know it's going to seem weird but talking about Box's trip leads us to discussing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones showing up in a Civil Rights era picture preventing a schoolfrom being integrated. Tee is preparing for his Thanksgiving trip to visit his family. That involves, grocery store trips where he hopefully made a new podcast fan, phone calls, and all sorts of moves. We then head on over to Reddit for AITA and head out with our entertainment recommendations for the week. Have a Happy Thanksgiving if you are in the state, and a lovely rest of your week if not.

Molina Healthcare's (MOH) earnings showed medical cost headwinds and yet another guidance cut — leading to a 20% sell-off in the healthcare giant. Diane King Hall offers more insight into the longstanding struggles it faced and why it continues to plague Molina's outlook. She turns to the skies with an earnings rally in American Airlines (AAL) and turbulence in Southwest Airlines (LUV).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker welcomes back Steve Gorelik from Firebird Management for a deep dive into Molina Healthcare (ticker: MOH). Together, they explore the sharp drop in Molina's stock despite its long-standing compounder reputation. Steve outlines how Molina operates as a low-cost Medicaid-focused managed care organization, making it uniquely resilient amid rising medical costs and regulatory challenges. They discuss Molina's competitive advantages, risks tied to healthcare policy, redetermination effects, and its strategic M&A playbook. Tune in to understand why Steve believes Molina remains undervalued and poised to outperform its peers—even as the broader Medicaid sector stumbles.___________________________________________________________[00:00:00] Intro and sponsor mention[00:02:25] What is Molina Healthcare?[00:05:31] Medicaid model and revenue growth[00:06:25] Molina stock chart and July crash[00:07:13] Industry-wide margin compression[00:11:28] Why Steve sees alpha in Molina[00:13:29] ROE vs. cost structure explained[00:15:04] Admin efficiency as competitive edge[00:17:04] Molina's playbook and cost culture[00:20:16] Medicaid redetermination impact[00:24:07] Market share gains amid member losses[00:26:26] What's driving cost inflation now[00:28:44] Will premiums rise to match costs?[00:30:26] Regulatory risks in Medicaid[00:32:19] Medicaid vs. private cost efficiency[00:33:54] Denials, approvals, and outcomes[00:37:50] Molina's denials as cost control[00:40:42] Tender process and doctor networks[00:41:43] What keeps Steve up at night[00:44:41] Acquisitions: model and pipeline[00:47:18] M&A parallels to John Malone[00:48:19] CEO incentives and share ownership[00:50:48] Share buybacks and capital returns[00:51:19] Could Molina be acquired?[00:52:57] Long-term compounding vs. exit[00:53:28] Scooby-Doo investing explained[00:54:23] Wrapping up the conversationLinks:Yet Another Value Blog - https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

What if someone followed you around for a day—would they be convinced you're a follower of Christ? This question launches us into a soul-searching exploration of faith in action, both personally and nationally.The American Soul Podcast doesn't shy away from hard truths. As tensions escalate around immigration enforcement, with violence against ICE agents reportedly up 700%, we examine the concerning disconnect between political rhetoric and the safety of American communities. The silence from those who should speak out reveals much about our current national priorities.Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4, we find profound comfort for difficult times: "Momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison." Whether facing chronic illness, broken relationships, or the loss of loved ones, the Christian's hope extends beyond temporal struggles to eternal promises.The historical records tell a remarkable story. Yale President Ezra Stiles once cataloged the "indubitable interposition" of divine providence in American independence—unexpected military victories, critical weather patterns that thwarted British forces, and the timely discovery of Benedict Arnold's treason. Our founding generation recognized America wasn't blessed because of their superiority, but through God's mercy when they humbled themselves.Perhaps most sobering are the historical accounts of religious persecution that reveal why our ancestors risked everything for freedom. These serve as warnings against complacency in our own time, as ideological conflicts intensify between traditional American values and opposing worldviews.The patterns of history offer perspective for today's challenges. When you subscribe to the American Soul Podcast, you're joining a community that seeks wisdom from our past to navigate our present, always pointing toward an eternal perspective that transcends temporal conflicts.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
The connection between liberty and Christianity forms the beating heart of America's founding principles, and in this thought-provoking episode, we examine why one simply cannot exist without the other."Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Corinthians 3:17). This scripture serves as both our foundation and our roadmap as we journey through the writings of America's founders who understood this truth with crystal clarity.When Benjamin Rush wrote in 1798 that "without religion there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty," he wasn't expressing a mere personal preference, but articulating what was considered fundamental knowledge among those who shaped our nation. We explore Noah Webster's 1828 definition of liberty, revealing how our founders understood freedom not as unconstrained license, but as the ability to act without injuring others—a moral restraint that requires virtuous citizens.The historical record speaks with unmistakable clarity: while America guarantees individual freedom of religion, our institutions, laws, and leadership were intentionally grounded in Christianity's general principles. As John Jay advised, Americans have a duty to elect leaders who "rule in fear of God." Looking to our Revolutionary past, we see how colonists coordinated between states to prepare for conflict—providing a blueprint for how Christians today might prepare for challenges to liberty.Most powerfully, we examine sobering historical accounts of religious persecution that demonstrate what happens when totalitarian ideologies gain unchecked power. These warnings from history remind us why preserving America's Christian foundations isn't just about religious preference—it's about protecting the very liberty we cherish.How can you use your sphere of influence to strengthen America's Christian foundations? Join us as we explore practical ways to share the Gospel and prepare for whatever storms may come.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
The decline of Bible literacy stands at the heart of America's cultural and political crisis. When a nation no longer knows Scripture, it loses its moral compass and becomes vulnerable to manipulation, deception, and tyranny. As Jesse Cope passionately argues, "One of the main reasons our nation is in the mess we're in today is because we don't know the Bible anymore."Drawing from Forrest Greeley's profound observation that "It's impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible reading people," this episode explores how our collective departure from biblical knowledge has weakened our cultural foundations. When we forget Scripture, we become susceptible to ideologies that previous generations would have immediately recognized as dangerous.The podcast delves into marriage as a microcosm of this larger cultural drift. God designed specific roles and responsibilities that create harmony when honored. Jesse offers a compelling analogy: marriage isn't about being "clingy" but about "cleaving" – becoming like two colors of Play-Doh mixed until inseparable. When we abandon these divine designs for cultural trends, heartache inevitably follows.How we allocate our time – what we "pour ourselves into" – reveals our true priorities. Using the metaphor of sand in an hourglass being placed in different buckets, Jesse challenges listeners to consider whether their time goes toward eternal purposes or temporary distractions. With historical perspectives from Mercy Warren and Ezra Stiles, the episode examines the parallels between the choices faced by America's founders and those confronting Americans today.What path will you choose? Will you commit to Bible literacy and discernment, or continue down the path of confusion and manipulation? The health of your family, community, and nation may depend on your answer. Make time today for God's Word – it remains the surest foundation for both personal peace and national renewal.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Bob Ingram joined the Navy after graduating high school in 1963 to give himself some direction. He was initially assigned to work in electronics, but after getting a bad case of pneumonia, Ingram was so impressed by the dedication of the Navy corpsmen, that he decided to become one. Corpsman training was long and demanding and Marine Corps aid training followed that. After struggling to find a good Marine unit to join, Ingram was off to Vietnam in late 1965 - attached to C Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. They saw a lot of action right from the start.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Ingram takes us into corpsman training, being assigned to the wrong company, and the joy of being moved to a great one. He then details his actions in February 1966, as he rendered aid to his Marines and also manned a machine gun to expose the enemy position. Ingram would receive the Silver Star.Just a few weeks later, on March 28, 1966, C Company found itself in another vicious fight, and lost a platoon almost instantly. Ingram provided aid to wounded Marines, gathered weapons and ammo from those who were killed and brought it to those still in the fight, and, again, grabbed a gun to target and drive out the enemy. He did all of this despite being shot several times, including once in the head.Ingram will tell us about his long road to recovery, how he learned of the effort to award him the Medal of Honor, and what the medal means to him and the men he served alongside.
Eighteen time MoH recipient* Charlie Coks joins Nathan, B.R, and Al to catch-up on what he's been up to between his Guntube and competition shooting exploits since the guys last spoke. The lads also talk how the internet briefly turned on Charlie after mistakenly believing he was a NFA supporting cuck, Nathan and Charlie talk dogs, the India-Pakistan conflict and Indian rants ensue, and discussion is had on 'cheating' yourself out of effective training reps. All that, and much more in this episode!*He's a hero, but this may be a slight exaggeration as Charlie does not have a service record of any description.RAADS Autism Test:https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/Check out PP.TF here:https://pptaskforce.comwww.instagram.com/pptaskforce.est23/Check out our sponsors: Cloud Defensive / Chad Defensive Rifle / EDC Lights:For 10% off site wide, that stacks with any Cloud Defensive sales, use Code: ARTANDWAR10https://clouddefensive.comAttorneys for Freedom - Attorneys on Retainer Program, sign up via this link to support the show:https://attorneysonretainer.us/artandwar Use code: ARTANDWAR10 for $10 off an SMU Belt at AWSin.com Check out our Patreon here to support what we do and get insider perks! https://www.patreon.com/CBRNArtCheck out our link tree for the rest of our stuff:https://link.space/@CBRNartFollow the lads on IG: Nathan / Main Page: https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en B.R: https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarchLucas: https://www.instagram.com/heartl1ne/
