Check out our Halloween Pop-up Channel here.Detective Ryan Morrison hasn't slept for forty-eight hours because when he closes his eyes he becomes someone else, looking out through drowned eyes—his investigation reveals he's not a descendant but the same detective dying and being reborn every fifty years, investigating his own murder. Margaret finds him fragmented into multiple versions of himself in his office, each investigating different timelines, as he demonstrates his condition by shooting himself repeatedly while new versions remain standing. The Morrisons aren't a family but iterations of the same person, and they've discovered the Pattern's origin: in 1774, a pregnant Blackwood woman was murdered by hunger given form, bursting into thirty infants who became Millbrook's founding families. The most horrifying revelation comes when all versions of Ryan die simultaneously to reveal the truth—Margaret isn't just a Blackwood descendant but IS Sarah Blackwood, the original murdered woman, investigating her own death that created the Pattern 251 years ago and will happen again in sixteen days.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

What if the comfiest seat in the house... could actually change your mindset?In this episode, Andy tells the story of a very expensive chair that, thanks to a little family mischief, became “Percy the Positive Chair.” What started as a silly game with his kids turned into something bigger... a lesson in energy, anchoring, and the contagious power of positivity.From skeptical ten-year-olds to postmen, neighbours, and even the famously gloomy Rob from last week, Percy had a 100% success rate in turning moods around. The secret? Not the chair itself - but the people, the energy, and the belief you bring into the room.Tune in for Boxing Day experiments, zombie-walks through Morrisons, and a reminder that sometimes the daftest ideas - like a “positive chair” - might not be as daft as they sound...

BrownCarGuy Therapy Session – LIVE! Welcome to spontaneous live edition of BrownCarGuy Therapy Sessions -with Reza Adil and David from Huxley Automotive - filmed initially on Instagram Live while I was charging the all-electric Polestar 4 in a Morrisons car park in Queensbury.This episode looks at:⚡ The real-life EV charging experience - and why it still feels like a chore

英國上議院和下議院一個聯合委員會發布報告，探討英國供應鏈中的強迫勞動情況。報告中提到了哪些可能涉及強迫勞動的消費品？報告中提到五個主要範疇：* 棉花： 全世界每五件衣服中，就有一件可能與新疆棉的強迫勞動有關 。中國快時尚公司 Shein 的代表在英國國會作證時，無法回答其在英國銷售的衣服是否使用了新疆棉 。* 海產： 不僅涉及新疆，還涉及北韓勞工。北韓為賺取外匯，將勞工送往中國（特別是東北三省）處理水產品 。例如，強迫勞工被送到山東省沿岸工廠處理魷魚 。這些魷魚的船員多為中國人和東南亞人，可能幾年都無法下船，甚至有生病死亡後屍體被丟入海中的情況 。中國是2023年英國第二大水產進口商 。* 加工番茄： 在英國各大超市（如 Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Waitrose）購買的罐頭番茄和茄醬，即使標示義大利產，也可能來自新疆 。* 太陽能板： 中國是全球主要的太陽能板生產國之一，不可避免地存在強迫勞動問題 。* 關鍵礦產（Critical Minerals）： 例如來自剛果民主共和國的礦物，佔全球70%，用於鋰電池和磁石，與電動車和電池相關，這些礦產的開採和提煉也存在強迫勞動問題 。英國在應對強迫勞動產品進口方面有何不足？與歐盟或美國相比，英國目前沒有一個完整的立法來禁止所有強迫勞工產品的進口 。英國目前只針對能源方面有相關立法，未來會有一間英國國營電力公司禁止強迫勞工生產的產品進入英國電網 。為何難以避免這些涉及強迫勞動的產品？許多涉及強迫勞動的產品都是日常消費品或難以替代的原材料 。例如，加工番茄在烹飪中非常方便且難以替代。海產和棉花也因其勞動密集型特性而難以完全避免。此外，太陽能板和稀土等關鍵礦產的提煉過程非常污染，發達國家傾向將其集中在發展中國家進行，導致健康危害，更難以避免 。資訊透明度能否根本性改變供應鏈現狀？雖然資訊透明度越來越高，但要根本性改變供應鏈狀況仍有困難 。例如，沒有公司會承認使用北韓勞工或新疆維吾爾人生產的產品，因為這違反聯合國制裁 。他們會尋找方法更改標誌或阻撓審查 。只能透過本地立法並對違規行為施以重罰，就像處理洗錢案一樣 。對於強迫勞動問題，有哪些值得反思的觀點？當今社會仍有許多類似奴隸制度的操作存在；與其停留在討論過去的種族矛盾或歷史舊帳 ，更應該關注目前世界上正在發生的人權問題。 This is a public episode.

closely with the U.K. government, which feels it's got a lot of "ball-and-chain technology" hampering the ability of its employees but also governments themselves to move into the future and deliver greater service to their constituents. It is looking to cut expenses via modern technology by up to $50 billion, and it's enlisted Google Cloud's help to do that.01:25 — At the Imperial War Museum, it's undertaken a project to use AI and cloud technologies to preserve 20,000 hours of oral conversations with 8,000 different individuals who took part in various conflicts from World War II up to the present time.02:16 — The Imperial War Museum's Head of Transformation said: if we were doing this manually, it would take 22 years. He said, with the solution that Google Cloud and Capgemini are proposing, it should take about one month.03:00 — The third customer there is Morrisons supermarkets. So, a new offering from Morrisons that they built with Google Cloud, called "Product Finder"—pretty simple concept—but it helps customers find and get to the products they want and need in stores or online almost instantly.04:06 — But I think each touches on this notion that you could say these address efficiency and productivity issues. But they also, by doing so with modern technology, connect directly to new opportunities—right? You want to excite and delight these customers, so they want to come back. They know they had a good experience. They're going to come back. Spend more. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Today we're talking with health and nutrition expert Dr. Stuart Gillespie, author of a new book entitled Food Fight: from Plunder and Profit to People and Planet. Using decades of research and insight gathered from around the world, Dr. Gillespie wants to reimagine our global food system and plot a way forward to a sustainable, equitable, and healthy food future - one where our food system isn't making us sick. Certainly not the case now. Over the course of his career, Dr. Gillespie has worked with the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition in Geneva with UNICEF in India and with the International Food Policy Research Institute, known as IFPRI, where he's led initiatives tackling the double burden of malnutrition and agriculture and health research. He holds a PhD in human nutrition from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Interview Summary So, you've really had a global view of the agriculture system, and this is captured in your book. And to give some context to our listeners, in your book, you describe the history of the global food system, how it's evolved into this system, sort of warped, if you will, into a mechanism that creates harm and it destroys more than it produces. That's a pretty bold statement. That it destroys more than it produces, given how much the agriculture around the world does produce. Tell us a bit more if you would. Yes, that statement actually emerged from recent work by the Food Systems Economic Commission. And they costed out the damage or the downstream harms generated by the global food system at around $15 trillion per year, which is 12% of GDP. And that manifests in various ways. Health harms or chronic disease. It also manifests in terms of climate crisis and risks and environmental harms, but also. Poverty of food system workers at the front line, if you like. And it's largely because we have a system that's anachronistic. It's a system that was built in a different time, in a different century for a different purpose. It was really started to come together after the second World War. To mass produce cheap calories to prevent famine, but also through the Green Revolution, as that was picking up with the overproduction of staples to use that strategically through food aid to buffer the West to certain extent from the spread of communism. And over time and over the last 50 years of neoliberal policies we've got a situation where food is less and less viewed as a human right, or a basic need. It's seen as a commodity and the system has become increasingly financialized. And there's a lot of evidence captured by a handful of transnationals, different ones at different points in the system from production to consumption. But in each case, they wield huge amounts of power. And that manifests in various ways. We have, I think a system that's anachronistic The point about it, and the problem we have, is that it's a system revolves around maximizing profit and the most profitable foods and products of those, which are actually the least healthy for us as individuals. And it's not a system that's designed to nourish us. It's a system designed to maximize profit. And we don't have a system that really aims to produce whole foods for people. We have a system that produces raw ingredients for industrial formulations to end up as ultra processed foods. We have a system that produces cattle feed and, and biofuels, and some whole foods. But it, you know, that it's so skewed now, and we see the evidence all around us that it manifests in all sorts of different ways. One in three people on the planet in some way malnourished. We have around 12 million adult deaths a year due to diet related chronic disease. And I followed that from colonial times that, that evolution and the way it operates and the way it moves across the world. And what is especially frightening, I think, is the speed at which this so-called nutrition transition or dietary transition is happening in lower income or middle income countries. We saw this happening over in the US and we saw it happening in the UK where I am. And then in Latin America, and then more Southeast Asia, then South Asia. Now, very much so in Sub-Saharan Africa where there is no regulation really, apart from perhaps South Africa. So that's long answer to your intro question. Let's dive into a couple of things that you brought up. First, the Green Revolution. So that's a term that many of our listeners will know and they'll understand what the Green Revolution is, but not everybody. Would you explain what that was and how it's had these effects throughout the food systems around the world? Yes, I mean around the, let's see, about 1950s, Norman Borlag, who was a crop breeder and his colleagues in Mexico discovered through crop breeding trials, a high yielding dwarf variety. But over time and working with different partners, including well in India as well, with the Swaminathan Foundation. And Swaminathan, for example, managed to perfect these new strains. High yielding varieties that doubled yields for a given acreage of land in terms of staples. And over time, this started to work with rice, with wheat, maize and corn. Very dependent on fertilizers, very dependent on pesticides, herbicides, which we now realize had significant downstream effects in terms of environmental harms. But also, diminishing returns in as much as, you know, that went through its trajectory in terms of maximizing productivity. So, all the Malthusian predictions of population growth out running our ability to feed the planet were shown to not to be true. But it also generated inequity that the richest farmers got very rich, very quickly, the poorer farmers got slightly richer, but that there was this large gap. So, inequity was never really properly dealt with through the Green Revolution in its early days. And that overproduction and the various institutions that were set in place, the manner in which governments backed off any form of regulation for overproduction. They continued to subsidize over production with these very large subsidies upstream, meant that we are in the situation we are now with regard to different products are being used to deal with that excess over production. So, that idea of using petroleum-based inputs to create the foods in the first place. And the large production of single crops has a lot to do with that Green Revolution that goes way back to the 1950s. It's interesting to see what it's become today. It's sort of that original vision multiplied by a billion. And boy, it really does continue to have impacts. You know, it probably was the forerunner to genetically modified foods as well, which I'd like to ask you about in a little bit. But before I do that, you said that much of the world's food supply is governed by a pretty small number of players. So who are these players? If you look at the downstream retail side, you have Nestle, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Unilever. Collectively around 70% of retail is governed by those companies. If you look upstream in terms of agricultural and agribusiness, you have Cargill, ADM, Louis Dreyfus, and Bunge. These change to a certain extent. What doesn't change very much are the numbers involved that are very, very small and that the size of these corporations is so large that they have immense power. And, so those are the companies that we could talk about what that power looks like and why it's problematic. But the other side of it's here where I am in the UK, we have a similar thing playing out with regard to store bought. Food or products, supermarkets that control 80% as Tesco in the UK, Asta, Sainsbury's, and Morrisons just control. You have Walmart, you have others, and that gives them immense power to drive down the costs that they will pay to producers and also potentially increase the cost that they charge as prices of the products that are sold in these supermarkets. So that profit markup, profit margins are in increased in their favor. They can also move around their tax liabilities around the world because they're transnational. And that's just the economic market and financial side on top of that. And as you know, there's a whole raft of political ways in which they use this power to infiltrate policy, influence policy through what I've called in Chapter 13, the Dark Arts of Policy Interference. Your previous speaker, Murray Carpenter, talked about that with regard to Coca-Cola and that was a very, yeah, great example. But there are many others. In many ways these companies have been brilliant at adapting to the regulatory landscape, to the financial incentives, to the way the agriculture system has become warped. I mean, in some ways they've done the warping, but in a lot of ways, they're adapting to the conditions that allow warping to occur. And because they've invested so heavily, like in manufacturing plants to make high fructose corn syrup or to make biofuels or things like that. It'd be pretty hard for them to undo things, and that's why they lobby so strongly in favor of keeping the status quo. Let me ask you about the issue of power because you write about this in a very compelling way. And you talk about power imbalances in the food system. What does that look like in your mind, and why is it such a big part of the problem? Well, yes. And power manifests in different ways. It operates sometimes covertly, sometimes overtly. It manifests at different levels from, you know, grassroots level, right up to national and international in terms of international trade. But what I've described is the way markets are captured or hyper concentrated. That power that comes with these companies operating almost like a cartel, can be used to affect political or to dampen down, block governments from regulating them through what I call a five deadly Ds: dispute or dispute or doubt, distort, distract, disguise, and dodge. And you've written very well Kelly, with I think Kenneth Warner about the links between big food and big tobacco and the playbook and the realization on the part of Big Tobacco back in the '50s, I think, that they couldn't compete with the emerging evidence of the harms of smoking. They had to secure the science. And that involved effectively buying research or paying for researchers to generate a raft of study shown that smoking wasn't a big deal or problem. And also, public relations committees, et cetera, et cetera. And we see the same happening with big food. Conflicts of interest is a big deal. It needs to be avoided. It can't be managed. And I think a lot of people think it is just a question of disclosure. Disclosure is never enough of conflict of interest, almost never enough. We have, in the UK, we have nine regulatory bodies. Every one of them has been significantly infiltrated by big food, including the most recent one, which has just been designated to help develop a national food stretch in the UK. We've had a new government here and we thought things were changing, beginning to wonder now because big food is on that board or on that committee. And it shouldn't be, you know. It shouldn't be anywhere near the policy table anyway. That's so it's one side is conflict of interest. Distraction: I talk about corporate social responsibility initiatives and the way that they're designed to distract. On the one hand, if you think of a person on a left hand is doing these wonderful small-scale projects, which are high visibility and they're doing good. In and off themselves they're doing good. But they're small scale. Whereas the right hand is a core business, which is generating harm at a much larger scale. And the left hand is designed to distract you from the right hand. So that distraction, those sort of corporate CSR initiatives are a big part of the problem. And then 'Disguise' is, as you know, with the various trade associations and front groups, which acted almost like Trojan horses, in many ways. Because the big food companies are paying up as members of these committees, but they don't get on the program of these international conferences. But the front groups do and the front groups act on in their interests. So that's former disguise or camouflage. The World Business Council on Sustainable Development is in the last few years, has been very active in the space. And they have Philip Morris on there as members, McDonald's and Nestle, Coke, everybody, you know. And they deliberately actually say It's all fine. That we have an open door, which I, I just can't. I don't buy it. And there are others. So, you know, I think these can be really problematic. The other thing I should mention about power and as what we've learned more about, if you go even upstream from the big food companies, and you look at the hedge funds and the asset management firms like Vanguard, state Capital, BlackRock, and the way they've been buying up shares of big food companies and blocking any moves in annual general meetings to increase or improve the healthiness of portfolios. Because they're so powerful in terms of the number of shares they hold to maximize profit for pension funds. So, we started to see the pressure that is being put on big food upstream by the nature of the system, that being financialized, even beyond the companies themselves, you know? You were mentioning that these companies, either directly themselves or through their front organizations or the trade association block important things that might be done in agriculture. Can you think of an example of that? Yes, well actually I did, with some colleagues here in the UK, the Food Foundation, an investigation into corporate lobbying during the previous conservative government. And basically, in the five years after the pandemic, we logged around 1,400 meetings between government ministers and big food. Then we looked at the public interest NGOs and the number of meetings they had over that same period, and it was 35, so it was a 40-fold difference. Oh goodness. Which I was actually surprised because I thought they didn't have to do much because the Tory government was never going to really regulate them anyway. And you look in the register, there is meant to be transparency. There are rules about disclosure of what these lobbying meetings were meant to be for, with whom, for what purpose, what outcome. That's just simply not followed. You get these crazy things being written into the those logs like, 'oh, we had a meeting to discuss business, and that's it.' And we know that at least what happened in the UK, which I'm more familiar with. We had a situation where constantly any small piecemeal attempt to regulate, for example, having a watershed at 9:00 PM so that kids could not see junk food advertised on their screens before 9:00 PM. That simple regulation was delayed, delayed. So, delay is actually another D you know. It is part of it. And that's an example of that. That's a really good example. And you've reminded me of an example where Marian Nestle and I wrote an op-ed piece in the New York Times, many years ago, on an effort by the WHO, the World Health Organization to establish a quite reasonable guideline for how much added sugar people should have in their diet. And the sugar industry stepped in in the biggest way possible. And there was a congressional caucus on sugar or something like that in our US Congress and the sugar industry and the other players in the food industry started interacting with them. They put big pressure on the highest levels of the US government to pressure the WHO away from this really quite moderate reasonable sugar standard. And the US ultimately threatened the World Health Organization with taking away its funding just on one thing - sugar. Now, thankfully the WHO didn't back down and ultimately came out with some pretty good guidelines on sugar that have been even stronger over the years. But it was pretty disgraceful. That's in the book that, that story is in the book. I think it was 2004 with the strategy on diet, physical activity. And Tommy Thompson was a health secretary and there were all sorts of shenanigans and stories around that. Yes, that is a very powerful example. It was a crazy power play and disgraceful how our government acted and how the companies acted and all the sort of deceitful ways they did things. And of course, that's happened a million times. And you gave the example of all the discussions in the UK between the food industry and the government people. So, let's get on to something more positive. What can be done? You can see these massive corporate influences, revolving doors in government, a lot of things that would argue for keeping the status quo. So how in the world do you turn things around? Yeah, good question. I really believe, I've talked about a lot of people. I've looked a lot of the evidence. I really believe that we need a systemic sort of structural change and understanding that's not going to happen overnight. But ultimately, I think there's a role for a government, citizens civil society, media, academics, food industry, obviously. And again, it's different between the UK and US and elsewhere in terms of the ability and the potential for change. But governments have to step in and govern. They have to set the guardrails and the parameters. And I talk in the book about four key INs. So, the first one is institutions in which, for example, there's a power to procure healthy food for schools, for hospitals, clinics that is being underutilized. And there's some great stories of individuals. One woman from Kenya who did this on her own and managed to get the government to back it and to scale it up, which is an incredible story. That's institutions. The second IN is incentives, and that's whereby sugar taxes, or even potentially junk food taxes as they have in Columbia now. And reforming the upstream subsidies on production is basically downregulating the harmful side, if you like, of the food system, but also using the potential tax dividend from that side to upregulate benefits via subsidies for low-income families. Rebalancing the system. That's the incentive side. The other side is information, and that involves labeling, maybe following the examples from Latin America with regard to black octagons in Chile and Mexico and Brazil. And dietary guidelines not being conflicted, in terms of conflicts of interest. And actually, that's the fourth IN: interests. So ridding government advisory bodies, guideline committees, of conflicts of interests. Cleaning up lobbying. Great examples in a way that can be done are from Canada and Ireland that we found. That's government. Citizens, and civil society, they can be involved in various ways exposing, opposing malpractice if you like, or harmful action on the part of industry or whoever else, or the non-action on the part of the government. Informing, advocating, building social movements. Lots I think can be learned through activist group in other domains or in other disciplines like HIV, climate. I think we need to make those connections much more. Media. I mean, the other thought is that the media have great, I mean in this country at least, you know, politicians tend to follow the media, or they're frightened of the media. And if the media turned and started doing deep dive stories of corporate shenanigans and you know, stuff that is under the radar, that would make a difference, I think. And then ultimately, I think then our industry starts to respond to different signals or should do or would do. So that in innovation is not just purely technological aimed at maximizing profit. It may be actually social. We need social innovation as well. There's a handful of things. But ultimately, I actually don't think the food system is broken because it is doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason. I think we need to change the system, and I'll say that will take time. It needs a real transformation. One, one last thing to say about that word transformation. Where in meetings I've been in over the last 10 years, so many people invoke food system transformation when they're not really talking about it. They're just talking about tweaking the margins or small, piecemeal ad hoc changes or interventions when we need to kind of press all the buttons or pull all the levers to get the kind of change that we need. And again, as I say, it was going to take some time, but we have to start moving that direction. Do you think there's reason to be hopeful and are there success stories you can point to, to make us feel a little bit better? Yeah, and I like that word, hope. I've just been reading a lot of essays from, actually, Rebecca Solnit has been writing a lot about hope as a warrior emotion. Radical hope, which it's different to optimism. Optimism went, oh, you know, things probably will be okay, but hope you make it. It's like a springboard for action. So I, yes, I'm hopeful and I think there are plenty of examples. Actually, a lot of examples from Latin America of things changing, and I think that's because they've been hit so fast, so hard. And I write in the book about what's happened in the US and UK it's happened over a period of, I don't know, 50, 60 years. But what's happened and is happening in Latin America has happened in just like 15 years. You know, it's so rapid that they've had to respond fast or get their act together quickly. And that's an interesting breed of activist scholars. You know, I think there's an interesting group, and again, if we connect across national boundaries across the world, we can learn a lot from that. There are great success stories coming out Chile from the past that we've seen what's happening in Mexico. Mexico was in a terrible situation after Vicente Fox came in, in the early 2000s when he brought all his Coca-Cola pals in, you know, the classic revolving door. And Mexico's obesity and diabetes went off to scale very quickly. But they're the first country with the sugar tax in 2014. And you see the pressure that was used to build the momentum behind that. Chile, Guido Girardi and the Black Octagon labels with other interventions. Rarely is it just one thing. It has to be a comprehensive across the board as far as possible. So, in Brazil, I think we will see things happening more in, in Thailand and Southeast Asia. We see things beginning to happen in India, South Africa. The obesity in Ghana, for example, changed so rapidly. There are some good people working in Ghana. So, you know, I think a good part of this is actually documenting those kind of stories as, and when they happen and publicizing them, you know. The way you portrayed the concept of hope, I think is a really good one. And when I asked you for some examples of success, what I was expecting you, you might say, well, there was this program and this part of a one country in Africa where they did something. But you're talking about entire countries making changes like Chile and Brazil and Mexico. That makes me very hopeful about the future when you get governments casting aside the influence of industry. At least long enough to enact some of these things that are definitely not in the best interest of industry, these traditional food companies. And that's all, I think, a very positive sign about big scale change. And hopefully what happens in these countries will become contagious in other countries will adopt them and then, you know, eventually they'll find their way to countries like yours and mine. Yes, I agree. That's how I see it. I used to do a lot of work on single, small interventions and do their work do they not work in this small environment. The problem we have is large scale, so we have to be large scale as well. BIO Dr. Stuart Gillespie has been fighting to transform our broken food system for the past 40 years.

November 29, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 58 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they continue to prepare to play the Cincinnati Bengals on the road Sunday. We talk about the team's injury report from Wednesday and Thursday and if there's a chance that CB Cory Trice Jr. and DT Montravius Adams might not be activated from the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday. Will OLB Alex Highsmith make it back on Sunday to play against the Bengals? We'll attempt to answer that question with the important Friday injury report yet to be released. The Steelers offensive and defensive coordinators, Athur Smith and Tery Austin, both held their weekly press conferences on Thursday, so we go over a few main talking points to come out of those two sessions. We discuss Smith's response to the rumors and reports related to linking him to the head coaching job at North Carolina. A few other responses from Smith and Austin are also covered. With the Steelers poised to play the Bengals on Sunday, Alex and I are once again joined by Jay Morrison, who now covers Cincinnati for Sports Illustrated. We get Morrisons thoughts on the 2024 Bengals so far this season, the play of QB Joe Burrow and more. He helps us preview the Bengals on both sides of the football and updates the health status of Cincinnati heading into Friday. At the end of our 30-minutes talk with Morrison, he gives us his score prediction for the Sunday game between the Steelers and the Bengals. If not already doing so, please follow Morrison on X/Twitter at @byjaymorrison and please make sure to read his work online at https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/author/jay-morrison. After finishing up with Jay, Alex and I provide our own preview of the Sunday game between the Steelers and the Bengals. We discuss what each of us believe to be the best aspect of the Bengals' offense to start with. We also discuss several other things related to our tape study of not only the Bengals' offense, but their defense as well. We go over several key things we scouted out by watching the Bengals' last three games. Alex and I start winding down this show by giving our remaining Week 13 picks against the spread for the rest of the NFL slate. We also give our final score predictions for the Steelers game against the Bengals. We discuss what a win and loss might look like for the Steelers. This 101-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
