One day your child is their “healthy normal” self, and the next day they're radically changed, displaying neuropsychiatric symptoms that can scare and bewilder the child, their families and carers/teachers. The heartbreaking thing is it can take months if not years, to find a doctor who can identify and start treating the cause of this sudden change.Enter Dr Nancy O'Hara. We look at PANS/PANDAS and the genetic, environmental and incidence-based reasons something sudden like this can happen to a child and most importantly, how we can do 2 things. Firstly, mitigate risk by being more literate in causal factors and knowing how to proactively support children's health and resilience. Secondly, know how to spot the changes in kids - some subtle and some severe, so that you can start treating and healing the child soon and avoid being bounced around to a few doctors and practitioners before they get the support and treatment they need.We cover:What PANS/PANDAS can present asWhere it comes from biologically and environmentallyMacro foods that are important for this group and whyHow can we be proactive when an infection hits or tick bite happensand moreSo. Much. Good. Supportive information in this show. Enjoy + share with as many parents and carers that you can - if we all know more we can all do more!

In the USA right now, every day brings another attack on transgender identities, lives, and existence. We were eager to check in with Dina Nina Martinez--public servant, activist, comedian, queer minster, and so much more--to understand the current crisis from her point of view. Moreso, we wanted to know where she is turning for hope, community, and spiritual nourishment. The lives and safety of people we love are on the line, just to be kicked around as a political football by those who exploit them to spread fear and gain votes. The time to stand up for our trans family is now.Dina Nina serves as the 15th District Alder in Madison, WI (and is the first trans woman ever elected to office there.)

Rhonda Smith-Banchero, the mother of Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero, had some interesting social media reactions/posts that were necessary and did a solid job of laying out all of the frustrations that exist currently with the franchise. Except that unhappiness should be directed at President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman. Moreso than Head Coach Jamahl Mosley or any individual player on the roster. The pressure is mounting for the DeVos family, Alex Martins, and Jeff Weltman. All of that and more! #LetsGoMagic Warning: Adult Language

When you think of World War 2, France is usually not one of the first countries you think about. That's partly because they spent a good majority of the war under occupation. Moreso the newly formed Vichy Government agreed to an armistice with the Germans putting them under occupation. There was one man who didn't surrender. That man became Free France, Charles De Gaulle. The veteran of World Wars 1 and 2 called upon himself to lead a country under occupation. De Gaulle was known for having a very high opinion of himself and his country. When no one else stepped up for France, De Gaulle stood up for France. During World War 1, World War 2, reconstruction of Europe, a potential French Civil War, and a student revolt, Charles stepped up. No matter how big of a pain De Gaulle was to the rest of the Allied leadership, he was crucial to the fight against the Germans. His love for France knew no bounds. Whether on the field of battle or the battle within the government. Join us as we get Historically High on Charles De GaulleSupport the show

Maintaining Christian unity has been a problem since the time of the Apostles. Moreso, in the modem age, traditional Christianity is decried as intolerant. What's the truth about Orthodoxy?

It's not so much that Ollie has a problem with it. Moreso that he wants to protect the youth from the harsh realities that come with being an MLA in the North. And Mr. Speaker has a problem with that.

Healthcare is constantly highlighted as the industry that will benefit the most from AI. The prospective opportunities are endless: Improve access to services, improve quality of service, patient outcomes, and medical research. An analysis predicts that the healthcare could save up to $360B a year by implementing AI.That's we invited an expert to discuss what other industries can learn from healthcare's massive AI opportunity. Spencer Dorn, the Vice Chair and Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina. He is a contributor to Forbes and one of LinkedIn's Top Voices speaking on Healthcare + Innovation.Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple PodcastsKey takeaways from the episode:* AI has been impacting healthcare for years, especially to create Electronic Health Records (EHS) as a way of centralizing information* AI is being explored today as assistants to medical professionals (e.g. Virtual/digital scribes) and across a variety of diagnosis scenarios (video)* But the rollouts have been plagued by consistent issues related to adoption and poor comprehension of the actual problems* To get EHS implemented EHS it needed an Obama-era law and incentive plan* Many of the initiatives aiming to speed up access to healthcare and diagnosis are undermining the relationships across the journey of being a patient * Technology is rarely the solution because the problem is typically bureaucracy, culture, lack of incentives, and externalitiesLessons for you:* Beware complexity: Most of AI products being sold by major corps and consultancies are ones solving micro-problems and not designed to tackle complex problems* Worry about adoption: It doesn't matter how brilliant your solution is, getting buy-in and adoption within enterprises will be the most pressing challenge* Think of problems as systems: JTBD and user stories have a tendency of over-simplifying problems and underrepresenting the range of factors, dependancies, and implications of a problem on the system as a whole* Ethnography is key: If you want to make a positive change to a problem space you need to leverage deep qualitative research techniques, like ethnography, to document and assess what matters and why* Monitor for unintended consequences: Even after dedicating lots of time to research and planning, we must be monitoring for unintended consequences that may create more work or more anxiety for those stakeholders within the system.Thanks for reading Design of AI: News & resources for product teams! This post is public so feel free to share it.Challenges building truly human-centred AI products and solutionsAI thought leaders love to push this message of getting to the future quickly. It creates this narrative that we're all falling behind.But let's slow down and recognize that there are countless of questions to be addressed before throwing everything out in favour or the shiny new system. This paper from Microsoft explored the many questions that users are posing about using AI agents. And these are very important questions that every team should be able to answer clearly to their users before deploying any solution.This poll from Google's former Chief Decision Scientist highlights that the technical part of implementing AI is no longer the biggest barrier, understanding humans is. If the organizations polled —ones who have successfully implemented AI— are struggling to identify good opportunities and to convince people to use it, then imagine what struggles an everyday org will have.And also worth considering that AI adoption is still much lower than we'd expect given all the hype. The implementation of aI —especially across large orgs— may takes a decade or more because we're fundamentally asking teams to change the way they work. Moreso, those in regulated industries need the permission to change how they operate before they can even consider implementing AI products.In the background many workers are using AI without their employers' knowledge, leading to an endless range of potential risks.Thanks for reading Design of AI: News & resources for product teams! This post is public so feel free to share it.Mindset shifts to help implement AI In the podcast Spencer kept highlighting that we need to go into problem spaces with humility and without the expectation that problems are easy to solve. Other guests have suggests other types of mindset shifts:* Jess Holbrook stated we need to be specific when talk about AI: Too many projects are built off of expectations, not specifications of what AI should do and how* Kristie J. Fisher believes we need to measure time well spent using AI: The best solution to adoption problems is making sure that the AI product delivers value AND time well spent* Josh Clark advocated for embracing the weirdness of AI: The imperfectness of AI outputs should be viewed as a creative and innovative feature to help you explore new directions* Phillip Maggs challenges us to imagine new possibilities with AI: This is your time to spread your capabilities into areas you always wished were possible * Alexandra Holness expects that designers need to be less emotional precious with AI: This is a time of uncertainty and what worked before may not work in the future, so especially designers will need to go into problem spaces with additional humblenessMetalab is probably the premier design shop in North America. They've designed many of the most popular AI products in market today. Sara Vienna, their VP Design published a great manifesto about mindset shifts that's worth a read. And she'll be a guest on the podcast soon!And for those wanting more of a blueprint: Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency of Australia put together a guide that has lots of helpful detail into some of these.

The joint initiative risks opening up Canada, Mexico and the United States even MORESO to the World Health Organization's demands as the calls for a global health ID continue to perpetuate in the face of further pandemic hoaxes including Bird Flu and Monkeypox. As more people are falsely diagnosed with "Bird Flu," so-called "experts" are weighing in, saying that Bird Flu and the regular flu may morph together to create a super bug. The issue with that is, the flu is largely a mythical illness as it is. More and more people are asking questions after "Covid" due to millions of people being falsely diagnosed with fraudulent PCR tests. Those that had heart attacks, cancer, pneumonia or other ailments were classified as "Covid-19." Now, as people look closer at the regular flu which pharma has used for decades to push flu shots, it's clear at 97.5% of all cases were not the flu at all, but bodily ailments due to the terrain a person puts their body through. That's in the margin of error by the way, meaning that we can pretty much just say 100% of the cases were not the flu. People for decades have gotten food poisoning, inflammation of organs and poisoning from vaccines and pharmaceuticals and it was passed off as "the flu." This is why so many people report only ever getting the flu after getting a flu vaccine. They've been leading us towards a global technocracy for a century, forcing us to be enslaved or die from ailments. They use the typical fear humans face when death appears close to control the masses. Now, the USDA is approving DNA vaccines to be put into food found at your local market. Tens of millions or more have died from the Covid vaccines. Tens of millions will die early from mysterious illnesses, heart problems, stroke and cancer after being injected in the coming years. This all leads to the global health passports and eventually a CBDC connected to digital IDs with carbon and social credit scores determining your food rations as they poison and devastate the supply chain. The World Economic Forum has openly said in 2022 that "Covid" was just a test for compliance to bring in 15 Minute Cities and technocratic, digital control over the masses. The Great Reset.

Kelp is one of the most sustainable plants in the world. Not only do kelp forests thrive without the use of pesticides and fertilizers, they also support carbon sequestration, promote biodiversity, buffer ocean acidification, and improve water quality. Snacks from the Sea supports these incredible ecosystems by creating nutrient-dense, kelp-based snacks that are harvested sustainably to ensure a vibrant ecosystem while supporting a lifestyle of health and happiness. Inspired by a nourishing dish made by her Korean mother, Snacks from the Sea founder Jennifer wanted to provide people in America with the incredible health benefits of kelp in a convenient, delicious, crunchy snack. Moreso than traditional seaweed, kelp is a nutrient powerhouse that contains healthy vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A and K1, folate, magnesium, iron, and iodine and a powerful antioxidant, fucoidan, which has been shown to have anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and immunoregulatory properties. Snacks from the Sea's signature product, Kelpie Chips, delivers the nourishing power of kelp in a line of all-natural kelp chips available in three delicious flavors: Zesty Pizza, Chipotle, and Salt & Pepper. Apart from supporting vibrant human health, Snacks from the Sea also benefits marine ecosystems. Snacks from the Sea works directly with Korean farmers to harvest kelp from large, sustainable underwater forests. Their kelp farmers are part of an eco-friendly cooperative that was one of the first kelp producers to receive an ASC-MSC seaweed certification. This certification means their operations have demonstrated proven success at minimizing environmental impact, and that employees and the community are being cared for. ASC-MSC-certified operations are monitored based on five criteria: sustainable wild populations, environmental impacts, effective management, social responsibility, and community relations and interactions. “In Korea, kelp has been used as a remedy for thousands of years,” said Snacks from the Sea founder Jennifer Murphy. “In creating Snacks from the Sea, I wanted to share the amazing benefits of this nutrient powerhouse with people across the United States. In doing so, we are also supporting marine ecosystems that sequester carbon. Our kelp-based products are a win for snackers and a win for the planet.” From sea to snack, Snacks from the Sea's kelp-based products are sustainably sourced directly from the sea, then lightly fried with delicious natural seasonings to create the perfect crunchy kelp to eat with a favorite dip, crumbled for a salad or soup topper, or carried in a backpack for clean energy on the trail. Snacks from the Sea can be purchased on Amazon. About Snacks from the Sea Snacks from the Sea is a line of nutrient-dense, kelp-based snacks. Snacks from the Sea signature kelp chips are made from sustainably harvested kelp and lightly fried with delicious natural seasonings. Rich in minerals, vitamins, and antioxidant activity, Snacks from the Sea Kelpie Chips are perfect with a favorite dip, crumbled for a salad or soup topper, or carried in a backpack for clean energy on the trail.

Dylan Jones once described the Eighties as being shaped by ‘a new type of bohemianism, one empowered by a certainty and an optimism that was only fleeting back in the sixties.' *Moreso, K.Tel records importantly reminded us that home taping was killing music. So, it's November 1981, and this young music fan is feverishly taking ownership of two cassettes in his local Woolworths. One blue, one red. One bought, one free. Together this maiden compilation purchase - from the aforementioned compilation giant K.Tel, Charthits ‘81 - as kicked off by the ever so eighties drum crash from Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin – was the start of a lifelong love for variously compiled pop. One that would lead to, well, NOW. Forty years later and the superlative team at NOW HQ delivered their Yearbook for 1981. 85 of the biggest, brightest and best hits (thank you Mr. Mulligan for that very nice tagline). A year that started tragically with the death of John Lennon, and ended with Susanne and Joanne from the Human League with spray foam in their mouths amidst highly flammable Christmas trees in BBC Television Centre.And inbetween, a dazzling twelve months where the decade began to take shape and form an identity that remains with us today. Pop, soul, disco, funk, rock, reggae and metal. All present and correct. But, as Thursday nights on BBC1 would testify through those iconic theme tunes of Tomorrow's World and the newly christened TOTP Yellow Pearl in July, electronica was elbowing its way through the queue at the Blitz club to make a defining mark on the sights and sounds of 1981.With the able assistance of guests Chi and Ian from ElectricityClub.co.uk, this episode revisits the NOW Yearbook 1981 (and it's stellar accompanying extra volume!). An iconic line up of music and memories awaits including Duran, Duran, Ultravox, Soft Cell, Kim Wilde, The Human League and ABBA. We explore how the year saw some seventies survivors glam up and mobilise for this new decade with assistance from the new video pioneers such as Russell Mulcahy and David Mallet. We also consider how retro never sounded so good, what made a good (and bad) medley hit, how tribal factions and cultural identity shaped our school days (and the streets across the UK), how news and popular culture were living under the ever present threat of global destruction and how pop saved us all once again.Grab some blank tapes, switch off one of the three channels on your TV and join us as we head back to a glorious year in pop, 1981.Ridicule is, as you know, nothing to be scared of. * Sweet Dreams: The Story of the New Romantics: Dylan Jones (2020) Hosted on Acast.

Tonight I am joined by my friend Bobby Demars of Blind Barrels. Blind Barrels shines a light on craft distillers by releasing completely blind samples from small distilleries to consumers in order that they can really analyze the samples without the influence of the brand, this is followed up by education and the revelation of the brand. Bobby and I dive into his experiences, some spirituality, conspiracy theories and more. The conversation closely mirrors the type of conversations I find myself engaged in in the distilling industry post events or barrel picks and I think you will enjoy it too. Thank you as always for your support. We have lined up some high caliber guests for the coming season. I certainly don't see trying to make a career of podcasting and Im not even attempting to monetize my work here, but I would like to see it become successful. My definition of success with this show is the number of listeners who would really appreciate this content as much as I do, so if you can do me a favor and like, subscribe, and leave a comment on the episodes I would really appreciate it.

I'd always been a 1:1 coaching girl and never baulked at investing in coaching, purely because I know—I do better with it. I move faster, I know I always want the shortcut and in a world where everything is either time or money—if you know me—you know that my time is PRECIOUS—so I'll invest money to save time. Moreso though—I actually get major anxiety when I'm operating (regardless of whether it's a good season or bad) in a silo. I need that deeper interaction and I also want to be strategizing, riffing and getting feedback from someone more advanced than me. And because I was never scared of investing, I always wanted the best and to me that always meant looking to work with coaches in a 1:1 capacity—which is always what I did. That is, until at the end of 2021 my coach suggested this and YOU GUYS—it was an absolute game changer, and I've never looked back. Tune into today's episode for all the details—and if you're not registered for this event next week—you're missing out because this masterclass

"She woke up for 15 minutes during her nap...WHY? How can I make her sleep?" "He played for 20 minutes with his trucks after bedtime, how can I make him sleep instead?" These are total normal questions I get from clients, and here is what I tell them, and I want you to know: You can't. You cannot control your child's eyelids closing and falling asleep. Moreso, I don't want you to, and I don't care at all if either of the above scenarios occur. These are totally normal things!In today's episode, I want to help you release the urge to try and make your baby or toddler the perfect sleeper. No one is. Instead? My goal through the process for any client (and anyone listening to this!) is that your child is given the gift of knowing how to put themselves to sleep (and back to sleep when they wake!) and you, as the parent, have the gift of being able to release. Release the urge to feel that you should or even can control their exact sleep stats (leave me alone, Nanit!) and instead have the confidence that you A) are offering your child sleep at times that are appropriate B) trusting your child has the skills and will do with that time what they want and C) you have the tools to know when to make a change or seek help if something changes that is really abnormal.

Though it's about Canadian companies, many of them will be of interest to ethical investors globally. Hence, I'm beginning with it and it's titled These 50 Canadian corporations are betting big on green. The editorial is by Rick Spence and appears on corporateknights.com. “Now in its 23rd year, the Best 50 helps track how Canadian businesses are meeting the low-carbon and green-transition challenge – as well as where they're getting stuck in the process… The companies that made the Best 50 are mostly corporations with more than $1 billion in annual revenues, as well as Crown corporations, large co-ops and members of the S&P/TSX Renewable Energy and Clean Technology Index. What sets them apart is their commitment to doing business differently – they're companies that derive significant revenue from greener products and services, invest in increasingly sustainable projects, and prioritize equity in their operations. Crucially, the companies' average sustainable investment (as a percentage of total investment) hit 58.9% this year, up 9% over last year's 49.7% – that's compared to just 8.4% for the average large Canadian corporation.” End quotes. Among the top public companies on the list are Brookfield Renewable Partners LP (NYSE:BEP), Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM), Cascades Inc. (CAS.TO), and BCE Inc. (BCE.TO). ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Renewable Energy Stock Picks -- and More So, back to the renewable energy sector with this first article titled 3 Best Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy in July 2024, According to Analysts. It's by Sheryl Sheth and seen on nasdaq.com. Here are some of her comments. “1 Fluence Energy (NASDAQ:FLNC) is engaged in empowering the global clean energy transition by providing energy storage solutions. The company also offers cloud-based software solutions for renewables and energy storage. Importantly, Fluence Energy has the backing of two industry-leading companies, Siemens (DE:SIE) and AES Corp. (NYSE:AES)… On TipRanks, Fluence Energy stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 12 Buys and three Hold recommendations. The average Fluence Energy price target of $30.21 implies an impressive 83.9% upside potential from current levels. Meanwhile, Fluence Energy shares have plunged 31.1% so far in 2024. 2. ReNew Energy Global (NASDAQ:RNW) India-based ReNew Energy Global is one of the largest renewable companies in the world, with a clean energy portfolio of roughly 15.6GW (gigawatts) on a gross basis as of May 31. The company provides innovative and sustainable decarbonization solutions for corporates. Plus, it engages in the production of wind, solar, and hydropower and manufactures solar PV (photovoltaic) cells… With six unanimous Buy ratings, ReNew Energy Global stock commands a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks. The average ReNew Energy Global price target of $8.82 implies 45.1% upside potential from current levels. Year-to-date, ReNew Energy Global shares have lost 19.5%. 3. Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE:CWEN) claims to own one of the largest renewable energy portfolios in the U.S. The company has approximately 6,200 net MW (megawatts) of installed wind, solar, and battery energy storage systems. Plus, it owns another 2,500 net MW of environmentally-sound, highly efficient natural gas generation facilities. The company believes in rewarding shareholders with generous dividend payments… With six Buys and one Hold rating, Clearway Energy stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks. The average Clearway Energy Class C price target of $31 implies 27.6% upside potential from current levels. Clearway Energy shares have declined 8.4% so far in 2024.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Renewable Energy Stock Picks – and More Also, related to renewable energy is this article titled 3 ESG Funds to Buy As Sustainable Investing Gathers Steam. It's by Zacks Equity Research and found at au.sports.yahoo.com. Here are some comments on their picks from the Zack's analysts. “All of these funds carry a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #2 (Buy). In addition, the minimum initial investment for these funds is within $5,000. We expect these funds to outperform their peers in the future… Unlike most of the fund-rating systems, the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank is not just focused on past performance but also on the likely future success of the fund. 1. Fidelity Select Environment and Alternative Energy Portfolio (FSLEX) The fund invests… in securities of companies mostly engaged in activities related to alternative and renewable energy, energy efficiency, pollution control, water infrastructure, waste and recycling technologies or other environmental support services. The non-diversified fund invests in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers alike… Fidelity Select Environment and Alternative Energy Portfolio has an annual expense ratio of 0.85%, which is below the category average of 1.09%. It has returned 4.9% over the past five years. 2. Parnassus Core Equity Fund - Investor Shares (PRBLX) aims for capital growth and current income through its investments… (It)… invests in large-capitalization companies in the United States that have long-term competitive advantages and relevancy, quality management teams and positive performance in the ESG criteria… Parnassus Core Equity Fund - Investor Shares has an annual expense ratio of 0.86%, which is below the category average of 0.93%. It has returned 9.1% over the past five years. 3. TIAA-CREF Core Impact Bond Fund Retail Class (TSBRX) The fund invests (most of) … its assets in bonds. TIAA-CREF Core Impact Bond Fund Retail Class gives particular consideration to environmental, social and governance criteria… TIAA-CREF Core Impact Bond Fund Retail Class has an annual expense ratio of 0.65%, which is below the category average of 0.80%. It has returned 3.2% over the past five years.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Renewable Energy Stock Picks -- and More And here is my next renewable energy article. It's titled The 3 Smartest Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy With $500 Right Now and is by Rich Duprey and found on investorplace.com. Now some brief quotes from Mr. Duprey on each of his picks. 1. NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) is the first renewable energy stock that investors should consider buying. It is the world's largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and sun and a top-tier stock in battery storage. At the end of 2023, NextEra had approximately 72 gigawatts (GW) of total capacity in its portfolio. Of that amount, half or 36 GW came from renewables, some 70% more than its nearest competitor with wind power represented as two-thirds of the total renewable capacity… NextEra Energy will be one of the top renewable energy stocks to buy that leads the way. 2. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP) is the leading provider of hydropower in the country. It operates as one of the world's largest publicly traded platforms for renewable power and decarbonization solutions. Yet where 85% of Brookfield's portfolio was once hydropower generation, today it stands at about 50% as the company grew through mergers and acquisitions… Although it primarily has projects in North America and Latin America, more recently as the Neoen acquisition shows, it is expanding more towards Europe and Asia. Brookfield Renewable Partners is a renewable energy stock to buy because of its hydro sector dominance that cannot be easily, or readily, replicated. 3. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) is the world's leading manufacturer of thin-film solar panel technology and a pure-play in the solar panel space. It focuses on the U.S. and Indian markets where the greatest booking potential lays, particularly in the domestic utility-scale market… First Solar has built a solid financial foundation and a strong balance sheet to weather future storms. Its thin-film cadmium telluride technology is distinctive in the industry that benefits from its simple manufacturing process. First Solar should also benefit from the Biden administration's protectionist trade policies. It recently imposed high-import barriers on cheaper Chinese panels.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Renewable Energy Stock Picks -- and More This last article takes us away from renewable energy. It's titled 6 impact investing firms and funds that are top picks from U.S. News. The article's authors are staff at equities.com. Now some brief quotes from the article. “Impact investing firms 1. Eaton Vance Corp. (EV) When this investment management firm bought Calvert Investment Management in 2016, it acquired a company that's been involved in responsible investing for years. It launched an ESG bond portfolio in 1987 and a non-U.S. ESG portfolio in 1992. In 1995, it debuted Calvert Impact Capital. Now, Calvert Impact offers notes targeting community investment, carbon reduction and a more inclusive banking system. It also offers several small business recovery funds. 2. Impax Asset Management Group PLC. (IPXAF) This is another firm that grew its impact investing offerings through an acquisition. In 2017, it announced that it would buy Pax World Management. Impax has worked with the World Bank to structure an impact bond to finance 300,000 water purifiers for schools and other institutions in Vietnam… 3. Trillium Asset Management. This ESG-focused fund provider offers impact investing strategies targeting sustainable agriculture, low-income housing, job creation and retention, Native American community development, financial services that help people avoid predatory payday lenders, environmental sustainability, development of domestic and international communities and child care. It typically directs investments to nonprofit loan funds or development banks and credit unions targeting historically underserved sections of society. Impact investing funds 1. First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (QCLN) This alternative energy fund tracks an index of securities issued by companies involved in advanced materials, energy intelligence, renewable electricity generation and renewable fuels, and energy storage and conversion. The $702 million fund has an expense ratio of 0.59%, or $59 per year for every $10,000 invested. It also paid a 30-day SEC yield of 1.2% as of the end of May. (It)… is up more than 60% over the past five years, though the last few years have been rough going for the fund. 2. Invesco Water Resources ETF (PHO) This ETF tracks an index of companies involved in the conservation and purification of water for homes, businesses and industries. Most of its holdings focused on resource security and basic needs, with a smaller percentage allocated to climate action. The $2.1 billion fund has an expense ratio of 0.6% and is up more than 80% over the past five years. 3. YWCA Women's Empowerment ETF (WOMN) This fund hits on a theme that is big in the impact investing community: women's empowerment. (It)… tracks an index of companies that ‘have strong policies and practices in support of women's empowerment and gender equality,' the fund's website says. Impact Shares donates all the net advisory profits from (the fund) to the YWCA. The $56 million ETF has an expense ratio of 0.75% and is up more than 74% over the past five years, beating its category average.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Honorable Mentions that time didn't allow me to cover here 1.

Candice Simmons is no stranger to showing up in a big way for historically excluded communities. In this episode of "I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY”, hosts Samí Haiman-Marrero and Chris Majocha engage in a profound dialogue with Candice, who is a seasoned expert in the financial industry and a dedicated advocate for community empowerment. They dive deep into the themes of commitment to purpose, the power of advocacy, and the importance of investing in under-resourced communities.  About 7 years ago, Samí was working on jumpstarting a special project in a working-class community where 59% of the families lived under the poverty level. It's when she met Candice for the first time. Only ten minutes into her presentation, Candice committed to helping. Why so quickly? She knew this neighborhood well – it was where she lived when she arrived in Central Florida with her family. Candice shares her inspiring journey, from her robust background in banking to her transformative role in non-profit development and racial equity advancement. "Leadership is not just a title; it's an inherent quality everyone possesses, capable of initiating change," she shares. Candice's commitment to purpose illustrates the significant impact of leadership that prioritizes people and community over personal gains, stressing that it's critical to help create strong ecosystems that are self-sustaining. She also explains that when investing in under-resourced communities, it's important to understand that it takes time to see results and exercise grace. From her viewpoint, true dedication involves a deep commitment to the communities you serve, emphasizing long-term engagement over short-term gains. Moreso, Candice goes on to underscore that leaders must consider community benefit as the primary measure of success, moving away from self-centered metrics. "We must remove ourselves from the center. We can't approach our work with ego; we must focus on what the community needs," she states. Some key takeaways from this powerful conversation: The health of a community depends on the strength of its supporting ecosystem, promoting independence and sustainable growth. Understanding your core motivations and how they drive your actions and impacts. Everyone has the potential to effect change and lead within their own capacities. We should prioritize the well-being and advancement of communities over personal achievements. Leaders who commit to purpose need to find time to celebrate even the small wins and to rest to recharge. Tune in to gain invaluable insights into how leadership, commitment, and community focus can create lasting change and foster a culture where everyone thrives. #Urbander #UdoU #IHAVESOMETHINGTOSAY #podcast #mindset

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Rory Rackham, Lead Game Designer for GGG! He's had an impact on so many (maybe all?) aspects of Path of Exile and has been a major voice in the development of the game since PoE itself was in diapers; a true cornerstone of the company. In episode 237 we talked about the life of Rory, what led him to GGG, how the ride has been, where it's going, and snack bars! We had such a good time getting to know him, that we were surprised when the questions came to an end! Thanks, Rory for giving us your time! We had an awesome time getting to know you.

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, I will be talking about the upcoming eclipse, what God is trying to show His people and the unbelieving alike. America is approaching a Nineveh moment; Will she repent?  Moreso, will God's people repent?  I will also be talking about false prophets and what many of them are trying to say in this late hour and the ways many are being led into confusion and deception in this late hour.  I will be talking about what the Lord says about false prophets and discussing how to identify them and the divining spirit and the danger of having itching ears, as well as the consequences to the false prophets/teachers and the danger in falling for these deceptions.   https://www.innocenceredeemed.blog/2024/03/25/new-podcast-false-prophets-the-eclipse-vs-the-real-deal/      

Dear listeners, I have yet another very important tale for you today, and one of absolute truth! This is above and beyond the tale that I laid upon your mind in the podcast Camping Under The Stars, Vol. 5 (Sanctuary), which was a mere 2 weeks of living off of the land and surviving on hot dogs, bananas, and peanut butter. Dear listeners, this tale stretches across 3 years. 3 long YEARS!! It is not one that was pleasant, but it had a(n eventual) happy ending. How does that tie into today's episode?? Well, let me tell you....... In a time not long ago, during a weird and upside-down world of toilet paper shortages and no haircuts lived a content little dude whom we will call Poemhobbit. He lived in his happy village with his happy family and created musings of aural jewels for people all over the world which he delivered like an Easter egg. Well, for some odd reason, Poemhobbit and his family felt that they should travel to a land unknown, so he sold his tiny cottage quickly and with a prosperous outcome. Poemhobbit was so happy! But, before he and his family would decide on the perfect place, they would live in a less-than-desirable village that was infested by a sub-societal mob of unhappy zombies that smelled of burning skunk cigarettes. 'It is okay', thought Poemhobbit, 'it will not last for more than 3 months. I will take this negative experience and thrive, nonetheless. These 3 months will go by quickly and we will have departed before any misery sets in!' And so it was..... However, those 3 months turned into 6 months. Then, into a year. And, yet another year. And another year after that. And anot........wait, how many years is that?!? So, Poemhobbit was stuck in this prison-like dystopian cubicle for 3 years. And, the misery did set in. In fact, it festered like a cancer. The family was unhappy, hope had abandoned them, their dreams turned into dusty cobwebs, and escaping was something that was never even talked about without malice and regret. Poemhobbit was miserable, and his joy for the arts became a chore and a cumbersome endeavor. It was difficult for Poemhobbit to weave sounds and spread joy when it had escaped him.  But, Poemhobbit never gave up. He didn't always allow his family to know of his struggles, and instead fought to shine positive light on the negative situation. He fueled them with his (fake) optimism and assurance. Moreso, Poemhobbit had to really convince himself that his misery was perception, and that his ambitions would pull him out of the quicksand. He had to be the beacon of light, the sunbeam to those that depended upon him, and somehow find the strength to burn through the shadows and dust. 'Stay strong', Poemhobbit told himself, 'and let those that follow you tread upon a path of optimism and diligence.' Well, as fate would have it, persistence finally did win. Poemhobbit held out and never stopped raining hope and optimism upon his family. They were eventually able to escape the inferno of stinky skunk cigarettes burned by sketchy circus clowns. This journey in time was very debilitating physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If Poemhobbit gave up hope (which nearly happened many, many times), then he would have let down his family. In the end, Poemhobbit found a nice cottage in a small village where he had laid his wishes. Fortune smiled down upon his family, and the fire inside him rekindled once again. The struggle for comfort had finally subsided. Sometimes, to succeed you need the positive person around you to inspire you and light up your ambitions. Sometimes that person needs to be you. While the modern world wants us to let out everything and seek comfort from our hardships, your boy Poemhob........... I mean Tonepoet, believes that controlling this like a water spigot and knowing when, how much, and to who you water your hardships to is an exercise of optimal self-control. Seek a co-pilot that can give you guidance when you need it, so that you can ignite the light inside those that rely on you for assurance during tough times. And, in turn, be an inspirational sunbeam to others. Things will work out for you if you show persistence and patience.

As long-promised for our 52nd episode! -- What's a "Crisis"? What's a "multiverse"? What's a "52"? These words get thrown around a lot in DC Comics, as well as in off-page discussions of their lore, continuity, and publishing history. In this episode we'll attempt to give a basic Crisis 101 overview for the total newcomer, discussing the 1985 continuity-streamlining event "Crisis on Infinite Earths", and its 2005-06 sequels "Infinite Crisis" and "52"! Mike LOVES these stories, but -- unlike most things covered on The Very Fine Comic Book Podcast -- these are not recommended as "casual reading"!

I couldn't do the same thing and recap another historic home loss solo. So I invited my old college roommates (we ran the block 2011-2015) to come on and share some thoughts on just what is going with the Hoosiers, where does Indiana go, and just to ultimately console one another on what has become a season to quickly forget. Then it's onto the Indiana news, including a bit more bummer there as Indiana loses out on Derick Queen. Then it's to the conference news, including Olivier Nkamhoua electing for season ending surgery. Then it's a Hoosier History Hit. Often Daunted is brought to you in partnership with Big Banter Sports. Follow Burke everywhere across socials @oftendaunted. Have a great one Hoosiers!

A funny quote goes like this, “The tax code is like a foreign language, nobody understands it, and it's always changing.” Paying taxes is a legal obligation of every citizen as it ensures that the government has the necessary funds to provide essential services and maintain public infrastructure. However, it can seem overwhelming, especially for those who are not familiar with financial matters or the nitty gritty of tax laws.    Hence, we must seek guidance and education to not perceive it as a burden but as an opportunity to strategically manage our finances and minimize our tax liabilities. Therefore, the more you talk to experts in fields where you are having difficulty, the more you know.  Moreso, in financial matters, we must be wise and proactive in staying informed about changes in tax regulations. Remember, exploring available tax-saving strategies and seeking professional advice can lead to maximizing potential savings and reducing the stress associated with tax season.    Amanda Han is a Certified Public Accountant, tax strategist, author, and managing director of Keystone CPA.  She specializes in creating tax-saving strategies for real estate investors.

Our conversation touches on the difference between filing and planning taxes, the importance of proactive tax planning, and a deeper understanding of what bonus depreciation law is. Furthermore, we explore effective tactics for leveraging both short-term and long-term real estate investments to their fullest potential within the tax framework. Tune in as we unlock the secrets to strategic tax planning and financial freedom.   "Most people are just hoping and praying they don't get a big surprise tax bill.

The neo-Babylonian empire established itself as the dominant world empire from 586 – 539 BCE. There has been a lot of history left out of our Bible studies that gives us important information as to the political, biblical and religious changes that happened as a result of the Babylonian captivity. Moreso, not understanding these changes that happened during the physical captivity in Babylon has damaged our understanding of the spiritual Babylonian captivity that many are living in today, and that few will heed the warning to “come out of.” I know that this is hard for many to wrap their minds around, which is why I have felt led to take my time and unpack this as thoroughly as I possibly can. It is really important to understand how this captivity affected the Yahudim (Jews) in all of these ways because the Babylonian captivity was a watershed moment for not only Judaism, but Christianity as well. And when I say watershed, I mean that this is THE TURNING POINT in which things were never the same after this moment/event in time. This captivity changed everything for the Hebrew people, and it has influenced the Christian faith today, yet most don't realize it. This is why I have mentioned before that part of my “plowing season” comes with the intention of pulling the metaphorical weeds from their roots. This is what Yahuah has shown me in what it means to “labor for the harvest.” The weeds have to be pulled before anything can be planted, or else my labor will be in vain. The other thing that is important to remember is that as we will discuss in upcoming episodes, when the 70-year prophesied captivity ended for the Yahudim, the majority of people did not return to rebuild the Temple. They did not want to leave Babylon. They had adapted to being held captive. It's very interesting how the spiritual climate in Babylon is similar to the climate in the hearts of Believers today. We don't want to see Babylon for what it is because we're comfortable where we're at. We don't want to leave; we don't want to come out of it. Many people are unable to recognize the real spiritual war for our souls because they've adjusted to living in it. However, I believe as we learn and discern the roots of how we got to where we're at today, many more will realize what has happened and what it means to be in the spiritual captivity of Babylon today, and once they do, they will quite literally flee from it. This was certainly the case for me, and I haven't looked back since. I stand in faith and prayer, believing that as we continue to unravel history, it will fill some serious gaps of the lack of understanding and knowledge in the body of Messiah.The goal is always reconciliation.

This episode is a unique look into the mind of one of our service's senior leaders days before a major hearing. Moreso than a typical CSPAN briefing of soundbites, the lister will be able to hear, in detail, plans to improve quality of life and lethality of Marines. The 20th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps (SMMC), Carlos Ruiz, discusses the initiatives he plans to champion during his tenure as the SMMC and how Quality of Life improvement ultimately makes the Marine Corps a more lethal organization and force for the American public.   One of the most transformational questions asked of SgtMaj Ruiz is the state of the barracks. SMMC Ruiz discusses how the Marine Corps, at the most senior levels, are taking positive and tangible action to alleviate this most common and consequential of issues. SMMC Ruiz details the renovation plans and how the ability to move Marines may not be the ideal solution. SMMC Ruiz also details how the ability to press the ‘I believe' button is important and helps the whole process. One of the key adjacent tangents around the barracks issue is the use of Social Media as both a positive and a negative in allowing leaders to see what is behind typical ‘painting the rocks' inspections and true issues in the barracks. The barracks issue leads into larger priorities the SMMC is working on, specifically those issues tied to recruiting and retaining a quality force. The use of quality of life means the individual Marine needs to be looked at as a person and not merely as a number to fill a billet. Understanding that individual Marines have individual goals, lives, and, more importantly, options means the Marine Corps has to compete with a burgeoning American economy and the private sector. This key issue girds a lot of the arguments currently being aligned under Quality of Life 2030 initiatives.  The great tacticians will understand how best to use all of their supporting fires. In the battle to increase the Quality of Life 2030 for Marines, SMMC Ruiz understands and leans into using non-traditional and non-Marine Corps aligned organizations, such as PB Abbatte. Similarly, the increased and prominent use of Social Media allows the SMMC an unvarnished look into the Force and also allows Marines to see others providing skills perhaps unavailable in their own units. 1st Battalion 8th Marine Regiment is brought up as an example of a unit using Social Media for positive outcomes and showing how other units in the Marine Corps have used this new paradigm to their advantage. Quality of Life extends to Marines' careers and how they are brought along in their journey to become a future Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Understanding the Marine Corps' mission ultimately comes first does not mean Marines do not rate to have an honest conversation and transparency in how the Marine Corps plans to use them. Balancing the new generation of empowered, knowledge and opportunity-wise, Marines with the realities of the service is another priority SMMC wants to improve on while in his seat. While this episode does touch on leadership issues (taking care of subordinates, being a good sensor, and understanding how to accomplish the mission), it is more impactful for understanding the thought process and careful deliberation and contemplation senior/executive level leaders undergo to make their best arguments on behalf of their services and ultimately those who make the majority of those services strength, the enlisted. Thank you for supporting the project (below)Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

Transcript: This is the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane, along with Jonathan Farrow and Lisa Abramowitz. Join us each day for insight from the best and economics, geopolitics, finance and investment. Subscribe to Bloomberg Surveillance on demand on Apple, Spotify and anywhere you get your podcasts, and always on Bloomberg dot Com, the Bloomberg Terminal, and the Bloomberg Business app. Right now, our conversation of the day. Synthesizing all this together. Torson Stock is chief economist at Apollo Global Management. Torson I'm going to pull in here a whole bunch of threads. The Bloomberg Financial Conditions Index is showing massive accommodation, and yet I look at the old liboard, the news, Sofa, sofr and I'm seeing huge restriction within the short term paper market tensions on Wall Street and the ill liquidity on Wall Street. How urgent is it for the FED to make some direction on a March cut or dare I even say a January first cut? Well, it has a number of different dimensions. First, there is a dimension on the real economy. It's clear that the FED pivot has eased financial conditions dramatically, and this begins to run the risk that we might see a repeat of what happened at the citycon Valley Bank. Remember Chris Waller just said a few weeks ago the easing of financial conditions in Q two that boost the GDP growth to five percent in Q three. Could we see the same now where the easing of financial conditions after the fat pivot might actually be boosting the housing market, the label market, services inflation, goods inflation. We are not out of the woods when it comes to battling inflation. So on the real economy, absolutely, the easing of financial conditions is very supportive. There are some issues when it comes to the plumbing when the tightness as you're highlighting in very short term markets, and the FED for sure has to play this difficult talk of wall between do we want to ease financial condition on the rial side or how much can we ease financial conditions in the very front end of the curve. But this is the challenge for the FED. At the moment that you're highlighting, Torsten, you didn't listen. They didn't respond to the idea of financial conditions. They didn't seem to think it mattered at all at the last press conference. Why should it matter now? I mean we're going to actually hear them come back and say, actually, just kidding about that financial conditions question. Well, they were debating in October and September, well maybe financial conditions have done a lot of the work for us, and now they're saying, well, maybe financial conditions it doesn't really matter because it can fluctuate so much. So I still think that it's a little bit inconsistent what they're saying when that data dependency, it only talks about the real data, whereas the financial conditions impulse. If you take the easy and financial conditions that we've had since the fit pivot and stuff it into furpose the fed's model of the US economy, you will get a boom of up to one and a half percent growth over the next slevel quarters in GDP. It's going to be very supportive as a tailwind to the economic outlook. Although we did have Ganadi on earlier of TD securities, and he said even with this idea that inflation could remain stickier, that we could get this ongoing growth, the FED could still cut rates and still be restrictive. Given the positive real rate. Do you ascribe to that kind of thing or do you think that just means many fewer rate cuts going forward for the Fed. I think that's absolutely right that we have. Of course, for the better part of the last year, we have talked about higher for longer. Now the conversation is more restrictive for longer, because they can still be restrictive if inflation is coming down, because real interest rates is what matters. So if real interest rates are still positive as inflation comes down, the fact and according you also gradually begin to lower rates. But note also that if you look at the outlook for sofa futures, as also Tom was mentioning, you still have that the bottom will still be around three and a half four percent. So one very important conclusion for as an allocation is that we are not going back to zero. We have still higher for longer, in the sense that the level of interest rates, the level of the free rate on page one in your finance textbook, will be significantly higher for the next several years than where it was from the period from twosand and eight to twenty twenty two. Let's try and get to the half of what we're discussing. Care the interest rates sensitivity of the US economy exactly. And now what we've seen over the last two years is rates go up aggressively and not slow down the economy. And what you're suggesting is that as rates start to come in and financial conditions ease, that the economy picks up again. Can you help explain that to people why higher rates haven't slowed the economy down but easy find financial conditions will boost it. Ye. But what's very important in that debate, and that's also taking place on Twitter and X of course here at the moment, is that my lift very critically sophisticate. Important to remember that that is significantly a function of whether you talk about the interest rate sensitive components of GDP or the non interest rate sensitive components of GDP. If you split GDP into the cyclical components and the non signal components, the main component that is sensitive to interest rates is housing. And housing did respond dramatically to higher rates. So this whole idea that the economy didn't respond to higher rates, that's just completely wrong. Of course, the economy responded to rates. It was the interest rate sensitive parts that responded to rates going up. Housing started slowing down. But the non interest rate sensitive components, in this case travel, restaurants, hotels. After COVID had such a long tailwind that that more than dominate the slow down in the housing market. So splitting that debate away from the academic textbook, which we all love, is so important because it becomes so critical to think about did the parts of the economy that are sensitive to interest rates did they actually respond? And absolutely, in particular housing Kapix also of COMMERCIALI state things that are sensus of two interest rates they did absolutely respond to when interest rates window. This is a fantastic explanation. So let's build on it. Let's project this out. What are the forecasts now for you for GDP in the next couple of quarters. We heard from the likes of Max Kanner of HSBC who said, the biggest risk right now is that we have to reprice rates again higher because exactly of what you're talking about, what are you looking for in the data? Well, if I type ECFCG on my Bloomberg screen, I will see that over the next six months we are very close to zero, zero point four and zero point five on GDP for Q one and Q two. So the consensus answer to your question is GP growth is continuously slowing as a result of the fat's campaign of hiking rates. The new risk that has emerged is that because of the fit pivot, that means that the interest rates sensitive components that we're dragging down GDP for the better part of last year, they might now begin to rebound. Housing most importantly, case SHILLA is now up five percent. Case SHILLA is a very important leading indicator for the OEI, meaning the shelter components of the CPI, and shelter makes up forty percent of the index, So that means that if something that makes up forty percent of the index is about to rebound, we could come back to that discussion about maybe the rates markets we'll have to reprise to higher for long gun and more restrictive for longer. I just looked at the two year inflation adjusted yield. I haven't looked at it since time began Nixon was president, and I can use the word never over twenty years, the integran, or the duration of a high two year real rate, we've never seen. We had a spike in eight with a great financial crisis, but these sustained high two year real yields are absolutely unprecedented for global Wall Street. How unstable are we right now? I would say, at least from a fet perspective. If you just take the economic textbook out and think about what matters, it is absolutely as you're highlighting real rates, So real rates being at these levels would tell you that we're still in very restrictive territory. So the challenge here for the FIT is that they still want to have the soft landing, and we all want to have the soft landing. That will be the best outcome, of course, from so many dimensions. But what is beginning to matter is that they have now sucked so much liquidity out. We've gotten to a point where we are beginning to see some strains in the plumbing that you're highlighting. And that's why real rates it has a very significant different impact on the long end and what it means for the real economy relative to what high real rates means for the front end and what it means for financial markets as host. And this has been an absolute Cameron Dawson joins US now chief investment Officer at New Edge Wealth Camic and morning and happy New year, Good morning, Happy nowear are you sitting on the fence because I'm written this first line in your work. It says we could have a scenario where both bulls and hairs are right this year, which one is it? Well, I think that we have to be nimble because I believe that there is going to be a scenario where you could very easily see people get drawn even further into this market. We think positioning is overweight, but not quite as is extreme as it was in times like twenty twenty one or twenty eighteen. So you could see some pain get pulled in. But the other reality is that you could see a rationalization of the fact that sentiment is very extended and that valuations are extended. So it's how you react to market rallies or market corrections, I think is how you will win. In twenty twenty four we mentioned that HSBC. So let's talk about the work coming from Max Kentna this morning. Here's this line, biggest risk another repricing and rights. Do you agree with that one hundred percent? That's the pain trade. The pain trade is that everybody thinks that inflation is fully vanquished and then gets surprised if things like oil prices move higher. Wages end up being stickier than expected rates move higher, and then all of those stocks that rerated in the last two months up thirty forty percent because now they're not worried about their balance sheets anymore. Balance sheet risk becomes an issue again, and you get a reversion of a lot of the names that were lower quality that happened to lead at the end of last year. The modeled out earnings are nine percent ten percent. Dare I say double digit eleven percent earnings growth for this year? Is that in the price now or is that going to develop out in the first half of next year. It is in the price now, and I think that we always have to think about the path of twenty four will be pricing in what actually happens in twenty twenty five. So if a recession looks more likely in twenty twenty five, that's when you'll start to see those earning estements get cut into the out years. The thing that's the biggest challenge for us for earning estments in twenty four is the expectation that top line growth will re accelerate in a year where nominal growth because of inflation is expected to decelerate. Can you see that happen at the same time where we get less inflation, less pricing power, and yet we get a big acceleration in top So away for the romance of Apple and Microsoft. If you look at Staples and discretionary and all, you've got to model out there, what you go back from a six percent wonderment of growth back to four percent revenue growth? Yeah, very likely. And there are idiots and pockets where you're going to see improvement. You know, healthcare had its earnings down almost twenty percent last year, that will flip positive this year just because of easy comps. So that's where we're trying to look outside of just the macro drivers, Staples being a great example of one that can't get away from this inflationary dynamic, and look instead to the more idiotsyncratic opportunities our banks to douse syncratic opportunities. And I ask with JP Morgan at new record high, Yeah, I mean you've seen such a huge rerating. Of course, there's pockets of banks where there is still inexpensive areas. You know, banks do have the tailwind of a less inverted curve, hopefully a reopening of capital markets. But then we have to consider things like BTFP, does it get re extended Basil three in game, all of these things that could be big drivers of bank earnings or at least appetite for bank risk as we go through twenty twenty four. It sounds like you're not buying the rotation story. I am buying the rotation story. Yeah. I think that we have to have an open mind that even great companies with great balance sheets, with monopolies could still underperform simply because positioning is so crowded and because valuations are so elevated. That's the smartest insight I've heard in the last forty eight hours. Are we going to have rotation or not? That's a really, really undersaid cool question. I think that that was really some of the anks behind the sell off that we've seen that was living, that was really led by big tech. We were talking about this yesterday with Apple, and I guess that you know, how much does that have legs versus what we saw last year, which was a headfake and everyone came in saying, all right, this is the year to sell tech, and by the end of the year of them was saying in Nvidia Magnificent seven, it's going to change the world. Kumba Yah it's going to save the United States, I mean, et cetera, et cetera. And what a different setup because at the very end of twenty twenty two you had record outflows from tech ETFs. You look at the course of twenty twenty three, you had forty billion dollars of inflows into technology compared to twenty billion dollars of outflows out of things like energy and financials and healthcare. So really this could just be about positioning and pain trades and the fact that you already re rated tech because now it's already just one turn away from its twenty twenty one peak valuation, so you're hitting a ceiling. Let's put a couple of stories together. You said, maybe the biggest paying trait the risk here is high, right, so reprice give rights again at Lisa brought up banks. How woud the banks respond to that given what we saw last year? Yeah, I mean it would raise balance sheet risk again. It probably puts into sharp focus again issues with commercial real estate because we've all kind of breathed this collective sigh of relief that higher for longer is dead if it's not dead, and the path of the cost of capital instead of the last forty years of being down is actually marching slightly higher and in a choppy path. Could mean that we have to reprice some of the risk in some of these balance sheets. Is it just JP Morgan then everyone else? When we talk about the banks, is that what we're talking about? JP Morgan then everybody else? We actually just are looking very deeply at some of the regional banks. Some of the regional banks are underpriced. We think if we look at the balance sheets, they're not as extended as or as issued as some parts of regional banks that some don't have as much commercial real estate exposure, have great presence in their local areas, so they're trading at very discounted valuations. If we're going down in value, that's one of the areas we're actually looking. Yeah, it's somebody at you know, the last five six, seven days at JP Morgan's capturing one out of five profit dollars in American banking. If that isn't the third or fourth or fifth national bank of the United States, I don't know what is. There is nothing else. It's JP Morgan versus everyone else. That's been a story the last year. I'll refer to our guests done this. But yeah, I mean they're capturing some twenty percent of profits according to the source. I'm sorry you don't have a source in front of me to side. I think it's it's the it's the Bramow newsletter. You know that newsletters. It's a muster r. It's a muster reader. Camic. Thank you got to leave this. It's going to catch up. It's going to say a happy new Year, Cameron Dawson, the new h wel let's get right to it. This is so important right now. Dan Ives joins us. He is a bull on any number of technology companies. We wait for him to come out on controlled data here and with a birecommendation at some point. That's a little bit of history there. Dan Ives with webbush Dan, what's a channel check? What exactly is a channel check? I just I just don't see it. Yeah, and look for us in terms of our easier supply gene checks, really trying to focus on what demand looks like in terms of the suppliers for iPhones. There have been no cuts from an iPhone perspective as of data, and I think that's that's bullets and ultimately that shows demand through howadays season has actually been on part, actually better than expected. And to me, that's what I focus on rather than the haters continue, Okay, but data tell Okay, you've been gracious about this, and they've been gracious about your twenty twenty three ganormous success. But when you do a channel check, are you counting iPhones? Are you over in China guessing the manufacturing line? Are you in the store on Madison Avenue looking at how many people from Lisa's family are buy an Apple loot? What's a channel check? Yeah? All above time. I mean, we feel we're in Apple stores around the country, around the world. We're also talking to suppliers basically trying to triangulate to what we think units is going to look like for the quarter and for the year. And that's how we've done it from the beginning, I mean, over the last decades so. And it's one of you're always gonna have different opinions. You just talk about the Barclays downgrade. We continue to stick with our checks. That that has navigated us, you know, a lot more right than wrong. I think when you look at I from fifty, it's easy to take shots, you know, relative to maybe some of the fears out there, especially fire and a crowd theater first day at the trading you know a year I it's a groundhog day. You know, we saw it last year as well. It's underestimated. Two hundred and fifty million. Is the install based upgrade cycle that's due in that window has an upgrade in four years, Dan, let's get into it. You mentioned Barkleys, Tom mentioned it too. I mentioned this, so let's get to that line. The continued period of weak results coupled with multiple expansion not sustainable in that it is a statement of fact, and then there's an opinion of the end. The statement of fact is iPhone cuts. They haven't been great for the last twelve months. That's the fact. Yet it's been coupled with multiple expansion, also a fact. The opinion piece is they're saying it's not sustainable. Are you suggesting that it is? Yeah, So what I'm suggesting is that the next three to four quarters you're going to have iPhone growth. You have growth coming out in China despite the fears and abs are the bare noise, and I think the most important thing is services, and I think services is going to be teenager type of growth. That's key to the multiples Manson story. And then we go into later this year, there's gonna be more monization from an AI as we talked about. That's gonna be the next layer. I think it all results and this is gonna be viewed as more of a golden buying opportunity rather than the start to hit the elevator exit. How much Dan, is your bullish call predicated on this idea of rate cuts, the idea of rates coming down as much as people think, yeah, look, that's probably five ten percent from multiple perspective. I mean, as we saw twenty two to the disaster twenty three in terms of now popcorn movement, in terms of FED gonna cut in twenty four. Look, it speaks to our overall bull tech thesis, right that the soft landing Killsberry do a boys soft landing. You're starting to see now more and more focus on tech. I do think now. You know, as Pharaoh's talked about multiple expansion twenty three, I think the numbers show it in twenty four. That's the difference. Twenty four is where the numbers come through, and tech twenty three was more than multiple expansion. Well, you mentioned China and how China demand is going to pick back up, But I wonder if it's going to be for iPhones. And I know we've been talking about this for a long time, but yesterday this caught my attention. The Chinese automaker BYD surpassed Tesla in terms of deliveries for the first time. You're seeing that really start to be a main theme. People said that that was never going to happen. People say that it's never going to happen, that Chinese consumers are going to throw out their iPhones. What makes you so confident that we're not going to see the same thing happen in the iPhone cycle that we're seeing right now in the electric vehicle one? Yeah, great question. And look, when you focus on Tesla, I mean that's essentially two horse race between TESTSA and BID. Tests actually beat numbers and China was strong for them. But I think it does speak to look domestically BID they're beast. I mean, they've done a phenomenal job, but Tessa is always going to be aware there in China. When you look at what's happening within the China market from an idphone perspective, it speaks to just a massive and all bays that they built in China. You have one hundred million iPhones in China right now, window of an upgrade opportunity, and the irony is despite geopolitical the last eighteen months, Apples gained three inch books of market share because the average high end, as in middle income Chinese consumer, they want an iPhone despite government basically trying to push WAWE. And I'm so pleased to Lisa brought up the EV comparison because I think that industry right now has the potential to be the industry story of twenty twenty four and beyond byd beyond Tesla. How much of a reality check are we getting for the industry for the likes of GM and Ford, I think a big reality shacka. That's why you've seen Farley. I think Mary they pull back, you know, in terms of a bit from the EV strategy in Detroit. And the problem here is do consumers want EV or they just want to tessel And I think that that's really the issue that's really starting to play out. And at this point, Tesla's doubling down on evs, but no doubt there's been I think much more moderate demand that we're seeing across the board, and you know, I think as that puts out, you're going to see others peel back while others go more aggressively, like the likes of the Tesla. I wonder what you think the endgame actually is. If you speak to the leadership at GM of thought, they've been generous with that time we've had this conversation with them. They talk about a change in execution, maybe not a change in strategy. Would you expect to see a change in strategy this year and what would that look like? I think slight changing strategy where maybe they pull back on some of their long term numbers in terms of EV when they expect to go fully EV you know, as a two thousand and thirty four thirty five. Look, the UAW also put their back against the wall. It's a different cost structure and they're trying right now to it's a tight balancing act that they're trying to get to in Detroit. And I think also it's tough going up against the likes of Tesla and some of these other evs. That's been a big part of the problem that they're focused on, especially now with the UAW. Increase in the cost structure, well said Dan. Going to hear from your happy new year, Sir Dan is Wetbush. Jere Cassidy, Large Camp Bank analyst that RBC Capital markets rights in this. After a tumultuous twenty twenty three, we believe the banks are our positioned for investors to warn outsize returns in twenty twenty four and investors should overweight the sector in their portfolios. Jer Cassidy, I'm pleased to say join us. Now let's go straight to it. Number one question. This is a question for me, and I know it's a question for Lisa. Is this off the back of high yields or lower yields? I would say John that we're expecting that the yields gravitate lower, especially at the front end of the curve when you take a look at what the Fed has done. If we truly are at the terminal rate for FED funds in the past four tightening cycles when they started to cut rates, it's always been a catalyst for bank stocks. And think what we're expecting as the market is that at some point in twenty four the Fed could cut your term interest rates. Is this for bank stops or is this for JP Morgan at least a very good question, because JP Morgan has been the risk off trade and it's been spectacular, as you guys mentioned, record highs. And so if we're going into a risk on environment, which I believe we are, if the FED is finished tightening, then actually JP Morgan is probably going to be a source of funds for many investors. It is a stock that is owned everywhere. It's been a great stock, but risk on may be the better way to go with a Bank America or City Group or others like that a source of funds. I love that it's a euphemism for it gets sold, so that you could raise money to buy something you think is going to return more the fact that you think it's going to be Bank of America. Do you also lean into the Mic Mayo idea that City Group and its whole revamp with some of its streamlining, hutting units, massive job cuts is going to be the real winner over time is going to be certainly an opportunity to be a winner. They've still got a lot of heavy lifting. Jane Frasier's leading the charge here, of course, and I think it's a very big, complicated job. It's turning around the notion liner. There's early progress, a lot of heavy lifting, as I said to do. But if she can succeed in the management, succeed this stock is definitely undervalued and it has great upside, but it's been a value trapped for many years, so we'll have to wait and see. Jarred I went to a seminar once at a firm long ago called Tucker, Anthony and Rlday, and I was lectured that banks are supposed to return nominal GDP plus a little bit. I'm going to center tendency. Is that make an eight, nine, ten percent once in your lifetime? JP Morgan has turned that upside down. You didn't see this coming. You're the expert, nor did anybody else. The returns of ten years, of twenty years or fifteen percent or so. Their thirty year return is solid double digit return. What did Harrison? What did Diamond get right? Tom? It's really Jamie Diamond. I think you could get give Harrison credit, I guess for merging with Bank one when Jamie Diamond was their CEO. And of course Diamond has taken over since then, and it's been his steadfast focus on delivering for shareholders, both through expansion and growth, but at the same time controlling expenses. They also have done a very good job in diversifying their revenue. Their consumer banking business, similar to Bank America, is very very profitable. On top of that, they've got a very strong capital markets business. The bear Stearns acquisition, which was very difficult in early years because of the reputational problems that came along with it, has worked out extremely well for them. So I would say the diversity of revenue, Tom and the focus on leading or delivering for shareholders. But back to Andrew Jackson, who you covered, you know years ago, Girardi, I mean, are they the fifth bank of the Uni United States? Over the holidays, somebody said one out of five profit dollars comes to JP Morgan. They're building their palace on fifth on Park Avenue right now. I mean to the Butch Cassidy idea, who are these guys? Are they the Bank of the United States. I don't think they're the Bank of the United States. But they have done a great job in delivering for their shareholders and for their employees and their communities as well. It's been a big growth engine for the company. This economy, the global economy as well. And again it's this leadership that they have under Diamond and his executive management team. And Tom, you know, many of his senior folks have left JP Morgan and are now CEOs of other banks, like Charlie Sharp at Wells Fargo, and so he's got a very deep bench and they execute. And that's the key. Tom. You know, banking is a commodity business. As you well know, it's all about execution. And JP Morgan is that you executed extremely well. What is the business model though, that you want to execute as a big US bank? Chard And this, I think is one of the key questions that we had during last year when the rise of private capital, private equity, private debt really was challenging the capital markets activity of certain big financial institutions. Can the JP Morgans, the Bank of Americas, the city groups get into the private debt world that in some ways has been stealing their lunch? I think it Ken, Lisa, And when you think about it, and you're right, the private equity private debt area is certainly growing much faster than the banks. But believe it or not, the shadow banking industry has been taking the bank's market share for forty years you go back to the early eighties and you look at the market share that the banks had of lending into the United States, it was well over forty percent. The private or shadow banking market was in the low twenties. Today it's completely flip flopped. The bank's market share now is in the low twenties and the shadow banking is in the fifty over fifty percent. So the banks have done it through consolidation. You know, when Tom and I were young, we had over eighteen thousand banks in the United States in the early nineteen eighties. Today there's forty six hundred. JP Morgan has been a big beneficiary of that, and they've been able to create those efficiencies. So yes, they can compete. They will compete, and I don't think that the banks are going to be put out of business, but certainly they don't have the market share that they used to have. But we have to remember too, the economy has grown dramatically in forty years, and they have the smallest slice of the pie, but they're more profitable than ever, not just JP Morgan, but other banks as well. What about the smaller banks, Given the fact that you're talking about a bigger slice of just overall activity. You haven't seen that so much in the smaller banks, and with rates forbading high, you're going to have real commercial real estate pressures as well. It's interesting, it depends on you know how small the bank is and who owns it. I've always maintained this banking system we have in the United States is obviously very polarized. You got the very small banks at one end and the very large banks at the other end. And if it's a non if it's if the owners of the smaller banks, private banks, or mutual savings banks or another group of banks, if their owners are comfortable with earning returns on equities of four or five percent, and they're not going to sell the bank as long as they have FDIC insurance, they're going to remain in business indefinitely. On the other end, if you do have a bank with thirty billion in assets and it's not earning up to what its shareholders want it's to earn, then they're going to have to consolidation. Consolidation is going to continue. We're in a pause right now, but the long term trend has been consolidation in the industry will continue to consolidate in the future and argue, Jared, let's finish on Washington if we can. I was speaking to your colleague Amy with Silverman just yesterday and were reflected on a line that came from Lori Cavasina, who I think described presidential politics in the election on the horizon like staring at the sun. I just wonder if that's what it's like for you. Have you given any thought to changes in leadership in Washington and what might mean for the companies to fall under your cover? John, It's a good question because it's going to be the topic du jour this year, of course, with the election coming. And what we can say is that under the current administration there's been more regulation of banks, particularly with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We don't know who's going to be running, you know, just yet in November, but if Trump is the candidate for the other party, the Republican Party, and if he was to win, his administration had less regulation for banks. So if that administration was to come back, you would have to expect they would change the heads of different regulatory agencies in twenty twenty five, and it probably would be less regulation for the banks as we move forward, you know, Johnny. I think Bloomberg Radio is missing it today because we're seeing the fireplace with your dacity here on Bloomberg Television talks about inflation South Paris, Maine. Three hundred and twenty five dollars per cord of red oak that's delivered to Shake Cassidy and he's he's popping like eight night cords of winter. He used a thing about that. I mean, it's adding up. It's expensive. But don't you love the smell. The smell's great. The damn dog is over by the fireplace. The smell you know, this dog's called Elizabeth. We won't call Aaron. We want to thank you, Joe Capital of Marcus, Thank you, sir. Let's get to it, and we do it with an authority that we have had through Auto Tournament of the Eastern Mediterranean. Norman rule joins us now senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the courses work for the nation in intelligence. Norman. When I say Lebanon, for all of us of a certain persuasion, we are completely formed by something frankly is stunning forty years ago, which is the Beirut Barracks bombing. When we lost marines at accountable iwo Jima level. Where are we now with Lebanon, with Hesbela, Do we have a relationship? Was it forever fractured forty years ago? That's an excellent point, and I regret I remember that incident well and lost friends. The event of forty years ago actually had a different message for the world. The US pulled out of Lebanon at that time, and Osama bin Laden later stated that watching the withdrawal of the United States from Lebanon was one of the motivators for him to undertake his operations because he realized the West could be pushed back out of the region. Are we being pushed back now? I mean within the multiple fronts at Lisa Abramowitz's outlined this morning Gods of the West Bank and again up to the border with Lebanon as the West is America being pushed out now? No, we have a very different profile, and indeed, diplomacy is likely going to increase in intensity and come out weeks because we need to come up with a way to move. Lebanese has belowed north of the Israeli border so that Israeli citizens can return to their homes. The thousands tens of thousand of Israeli citizens to open their businesses, go to school, and also so that tens of thousands of Lebanese can return south to that border which has become such a flashpoint in recent weeks. Yeah, hundreds of thousands of people have been misplaced or displaced as a result of some of the fighting on both sides. But Norman and I'm curious whether this is an escalation the fact that Israel did attack according to Hamas, but also with a wink, wink, nod nod from Israeli officials to kill this is Mamas executive. Well, to be clear, Israel has stated from the beginning of the October seventh massacred that it would eradicate the Hamas leadership responsible for that action, and therefore this is no surprise. I think what you have to look at is this drone attack, which Israel has not admitted but is understood to have undertaken, took place in an incredibly secure, prey conscious neighborhood, and it demonstrates an exquisite and dynamic intelligence capacity. So as Hesbula thinks about it's connor its response to this, it's got to think about what is known around us and what can we get away with and what will happen to the people who might be involved in that attack against Israel. Do you have any sense, Norman, of what the conversations are like with Hamas, with Hesbelah, with the Iranian leadership, given the fact that a lot of people think that they're taking some cues from Iran, that there has been funding from Iran, that you have the Iranian warship going to the Red Sea, and the huthis also Iranian fact making noise and trying to interrupt Western shipping lines. Iran It's proxies have no strategic drivers to involve themselves more fully in this conflict. It would impact multiple strategic equities for a game that is uncertain that they have multiple incentives to continue and perhaps raise the intensity of attacks against Israel to show that they have skin in the resistance game. I should also note that today, the January third, is the fourth anniversary of the killing of Cossum Solomoni, and that's a day when one would expect Iranian proxies to attack US or Israeli versus just for that symbolic anniversary. Exactly where I wanted to go normally let's talk about it, the assassination of the major General. It's easy to forget that it ever happened because several weeks later, many weeks later, we were all drowning in a global pandemic. What has happened since then with the relationship between the United States and Iran, between two different white Houses, very little. The indirect engagement that took place did produce the possibility of some sort of engagement, a hostage released by the Iranians in exchange for the release of personnel. But Iran's regional activities did not change, and I don't think the White House expected them to change. More So, Iran's nuclear program has continue to expand. And here's the important point. Iran is now producing enriched uranium at level that no state that is not pursued a nuclear weapon has ever produced. It has no civilian use for the nature of its current enrichment. So you have to ask yourself the question, has the West de facto recognized the Iranian military nuclear program? The White House would say no. The facts do raise the question. Norman a tough way to Segui here, but I'm going to do it as one final question. Taiwan continues to come up within our first of the year conversations. Do we have good intelligence on mainland China? The United States intelligence program against China, has stated by Central Intelligence Agency had Bill Burns, is robust and works significantly. I won't comment on those operations to the extent that I know of them, but I will say that this remains such a priority that it's an all source intelligence programs at all imagery and a variety of different aspects. We're going to have a good understanding of some of China's activities that will provide the warning policy maker's need for the update. You're insights so valuable, Norman Roll there for the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Thank you, sir. Subscribe to the Bloomberg Surveillance podcast on Apple, Spotify and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Listen live every weekday starting at seven am Eastern. I'm Bloomberg dot Com, the iHeartRadio app, tune In, and the Bloomberg Business app. You can watch us live on Bloomberg Television and always I'm the Bloomberg Terminal. Thanks for listening. I'm Tom Keen, and this is BloombergSee

Hello from the past! You're looking at a brand spanking new old episode, and we decided to stick with the Vault moniker for them. We're now using these to venture outside of our normal fare and discuss other things we like. First up is a dive into the Nintendo Gamecube. Moreso a personal experience exchange rather than an overall general history of the console, we talk about what makes it so dang special to us and why it's one of our favorite gaming consoles of all time. And also Gex, because you can't talk about the Nintendo Gamecube without talking about Gex. …Right?

Imagine waking up one day and realizing that your entire life's savings were at risk due to reckless financial decisions made by major global institutions. In this captivating episode, we dissect the tumultuous events that led to the 2008 financial crisis, analyzing the reckless subprime lending, and the colossal investment banks who bet against their own junk product. We shine a light on the few who foresaw this storm coming and went against the grain to bet against the housing market. Ever wondered if the new financial reforms after the 2008 crisis really made a difference? We'll take you through the significant reforms, including the Dodd-Frank Act in the US and the Banking Act of 2009 in the UK. We ask tough questions about their effectiveness and highlight the importance of a collaborative, global effort to ensure their efficacy. Moreso, we emphasize the critical role of financial literacy in safeguarding our finances. And what about financial education? It's a taboo subject for many, but it's an area we should all be focusing on. We delve into the lack of financial literacy, the difficulty in discussing salaries and financial resources, and the power of negotiation for better contracts and promotions. We also examine the role of speculation in decisions like remortgages and investments, stressing the need to be aware of the risks involved. Let's not forget the lessons we learned - or failed to learn - from the 2008 financial crisis. Tune in for an insightful discussion.

If you appreciate this work, consider supporting it - https://www.patreon.com/seekgodtogether Today we will read Revelation 20:13-15. These verses say, “Then the sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead; all were judged according to their works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” If we're going to take passages that indicate blinding beauty and the redemption of all things seriously, then we must also be willing to take difficult and painful passages seriously. Is there anything scarier than a lake of fire? Moreso, is there anything scarier than a God Who would throw anyone there? But just like with anything scary, it's best to look it square in the eye and see it for what it is. To begin, where does this passage live? It's in Revelation - literally “Apocalypse” or “Revealing.” Ultimately scripture is apocalyptic and revelatory. Hence “revelation.” The words are dripping in symbolism, poetry, and deep meaning. Sometimes scripture interprets it for us. Most often it doesn't. And spoiler alert, absolutely no one understands it. Some pretend to, some think they do, but there is no one qualified to dispense the mysteries of God save God Himself, and He seems content to leave us guessing. Just look at the passage. The sea, whatever that is, gives up its dead. Likewise, Death and Hades (what are they?) give up their dead. And not only are their dead (or some of them) transferred to the lake of fire, but Death and Hades themselves are thrown into the lake of fire. Do you understand this? I don't. Nor does anyone. Also, what criteria is used to determine if someone is thrown into the lake of fire? Their works. Works are the judging criteria. For the protestant this seems to fly in the face of being saved “By faith alone” and not by works. This simply adds more weight to the fact that we really don't know. But there are takeaways from this passage that we should consider carefully. First, and most sobering, scripture is not afraid to scare us. Whatever the ultimate reality is behind this lake of fire, it's bad. It is a bad thing to stiff-arm God. It is literally death to not be found in the book of life. God's judgement has real teeth. And you do not want to be on the receiving end of it. Second, anyone in the “book of life” was not thrown into the fire. God is life. Jesus has life in Himself. Life comes from God. And that is why, even in the context of the most sobering of passages and existential threats like the lake of fire, we worship - we pursue God. Because it is only in Him that there is life. Third, and finally, a bit of conjecture. If God Himself is a consuming fire, and if the final judgement is a lake of fire, and if God will ultimately be all in all so that there is no where or no thing that isn't brought into right standing under Him, then is it a stretch to say that the lake of fire is God Himself? And is it such a stretch to say that exposure to a glorious God without life would be a consuming death of sorts? Could it be that the lake fire is simply a way of encountering God without the life of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, God Himself enlivening you, enabling You to experience His white hot energy? If so, and why not, then the greatest human pursuit is to pursue God. And once again we are back to this moment of seeking Him for the one thing He gives freely for the asking - life. And it is the burden of every human soul to ask it for themselves. “God, giver of life, give me Your life. Allow me to experience You in a glorious and life-giving way both now and forever.”

Let's face it, going to school isn't cheap. Moreso, you can learn almost anything online that you can learn in school. So is it worth it? How about for personal trainers? If it is worth it, for who and when? We're joined on MASScast 3 by Lauren Colenso-Semple who is nearly finished with her PhD. Not only does she share her valuable perspective, but she also reviews some interesting new research on women's rugby coaches, many of whom - despite holding a bachelor's or master's degree - don't see the value in staying up with research, and prefer to get continued education from social media. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of the same coaches also have some shocking misconceptions about female physiology… For more MASS science-based content check out https://massresearchreview.com (en español https://revistamass.com/) 00:00 Welcoming Lauren back as a host of Iron Culture??!! 09:10 Continued education of coaches, trainers, and practitioners Nolan 2023 ‘There's a perfect way to do things, and there's a real way to do things': Attitudes, beliefs and practices of strength and conditioning coaches in elite international women's rugby union https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17479541231169371 27:37 Barriers to entry and incentivising continued education 56:54 Busting myths vs creating actionable content: evaluating the quality of information 1:07:07 The educational structure in the personal training industry and considerations for your career  1:21:15 Practical applications (education makes you a worse personal trainer!?) 1:34:40 Considering specific and specialised education to improve your practice 1:41:40 Closing statement and where to find Lauren Instagram @laurencs1 https://www.instagram.com/laurencs1/?igshid=NDk5N2NlZjQ=  ResearchGate https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Lauren-Colenso-Semple

In today's live stream, Joseph Z was joined by Todd Coconato and they discussed Todd's revival, the dynamic of the gospel and hope for the future. Todd acknowledges that the world is going through a rough patch, but he believes that we have hope for the future, he alluded to our expectations of the Messiah and how He was expected to overthrow the government and deliver the people from their enemies but Christ moved in a different way instead. He insists that in that same manner, what we're called to do, is to go after souls for Christ and not be distracted by the corruption of the government, as that would take our focus away from the real goal. Moving on, they talked about Mario's ministry and the healing miracles that God is performing through him. Todd alerts us that there is a move of God, and God has been changing the lives of people but unfortunately, that does not get the attention it deserves from the mainstream media. Joseph acknowledges that the future looks scary, but in everything, he insists that God is assigning locations to people and that people are expected to be where God has called them. Todd echoes in support and acknowledges that we must be out there and prepared, as no one knows what lies ahead. He then asserts that the best preparation is in our minds, and he declares that God is raising new warriors for the kingdom and then cautions that the Church is not to be trifled with. Moreso, Todd teaches that the best way to gain God's anointing upon our lives is to read and meditate on His word consistently. He went further to talk about his encounter with God, and his first experience with the Church. He charges us not to sit on the fence anymore, and give our all to God; he also insists that we as children of God, have an answer to everything going on in the world today. Todd continued by sharing the angelic encounter he had which commanded him to “come out from among them and be consecrated”, and he explains that God expects us to exit the Babylonian system, that the Church is supposed to set the pace and not fall into the steps of the society or how the nations demand us to be. Furthermore, he came clean about the way he felt when he was converted, and he charges us to not feel unworthy and filthy before God. He prays that we forgive ourselves because God has already forgiven us; he then further prays that God gives us the understanding to step into the anointing and where He's called us. #hopeforthefuture #revival #soulsforchrist #prophecylive #josephz #zministries #justice #prophecy #news Learn More about Joseph Z Ministries by following the link below: https://linktr.ee/zministries Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give

Scott Schara says he has only been awake for a year, he's done a lot of a newly awake man including a landmark lawsuit that may take apart the deadly and evil Covid hospital protocols. His awakening was a harsh one. He took his beloved daughter, Grace, who was 19-years-old to a hospital because, Scott said, “he bought into the propaganda.” Soon, Grace was dead. Scott has meticulously detailed what, in my opinion, is a case of murder or negligent homicide. According to the lawsuit he has successfully filed--a victory itself given the rigging of the system you will hear Scott reveal--the hospital very quickly decided to put Grace on the exact three drugs administered to dying people in the last days of hospice. You will also hear Scott describe what records seem to indicate are gross, cold, brutal lies like telling Scott and his wife they should get ready for Grace to start eating on her own and walking around . . . on the very same day a doctor signed a Do Not Resuscitate Order without informing the family. When Grace died, her parents were forced to watch on Facetime. One would expect Scott to be an angry and bitter man. Instead, he's resolute, focused, driven and brilliant. Moreso, he sits firmly in the land of God, the Holy Spirit driving this righteous battle and with his heart hurting but full as he knows God will reunite he and Grace with Jesus after Scott finishes the race marked out for him, the race to end these horrific abuses.What does God say? Genesis 50:2020 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.1 Samuel 17:47All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give all of you into our hands.Esther 4:1414 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”Grace's story and Scott's fight on a local FOX affiliateLearn about Grace and see Scott's press conference outside the Hospital where, in both of our opinions, the Covid protocols administered by doctors and nurses took her life. https://www.graceschara.com/https://4patriots.comStock up on 4Patriots Survival Food Kits.

Ask a mother what she has heard about labor and she will quickly tell you, "It is a pain that is capable of breaking many bones". "It is the worst kind of pain any human can undertake" "My mum said it was horrible."Moreso, this is exactly what is shown in movies, media, print or social because we all love sensationalizing things. Our mothers, a generation ago were birthing in the hospitals, even if they had a normal birth, their experience may not be good because it was not a natural, physiological birth. It was very well a medically managed event.Tapasya , a natural birth advocate , birth doula and traditional birth attendant, talks about the fear of birth and its impact in this episode.What if there is more to it?

I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design with a special episode for the holidays. Before I shut things down, stop thinking about the business, I want to encourage you to do the same for about an hour. Hang with the fam, binge the Hallmark Channel all week. But, before you do, give this episode a listen with some eggnog…. Which is always better with Fireball. Just saying. For the holidays, I'm posting a throwback that has nothing to do with the business of design. A past chat with friend of the show, Peter Gurski. Peter is a multi-disciplinary creative who also was responsible for the look and feel of the smash TV hit, Will & Grace. Peter was episode 203 of Convo By Design and I thought you might enjoy hearing about the set design and then go hit Hulu and watch. As you do, you can find some of the accessories in the show, look at the paintings, the furniture and you will see what he is talking about.  I have a special treat for you. I received a package in the mail. A book. So this installment of BOOKLOOK features Together at the Table, Entertaining At Home With The Creators Of Juliska. Capucine De Wulf Gooding and David Gooding have crafted a book that celebrates being together in so many ways just as their home tableware brand Juliska does. This book is part how-to, part why-you-should and part inspiration for better living. The better living part is what captured my attention. It's not about buying someone else's life which is what social made seems to have been made for. This is a concise treatise for better living. As the Gooding's like to say here, “Don't overthink.” There is tremendous value in that alone but even Moreso when it is accompanied by visual examples, which is what you find here. Great work here, Goodings. “Architects of Togetherness”! I love that. Jacket design is fabulous. The book is available now through the usual channels I assume.  Enjoy and happy holidays form all of us at Convo By Design. We'll get to Peter Gurski LIVE from the Set of Will & Grace.

The school board in Fargo, North Dakota, has voted to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance due to the words “under God.” Author Salman Rushdie was stabbed roughly ten times Friday as he prepared to speak at the Chautauqua Institution in western New York. And a perceptive essay in the New York Times explains why Iran remains such a threat to the US. In The Daily Article for August 15, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison considers these news stories and why Christians should embrace our missional command to “do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). on the stupendous magnificence of God's creation, see my latest article, “Supergiant Betelgeuse has unprecedented stellar eruption.” Please request your copy of What Are My Spiritual Gifts? today. In it you'll learn about 17 spiritual gifts and read of people in the Bible who exemplify each gift. Moreso, you'll learn why God specifically gifted you the way he did.
