In 1989, Jean Napier-Hattingh hung mid-water off a reef 20km out from the Mozambique coast with a 1 metre speargun and shot a dogtooth tuna the same size as she was. It dragged her until her mask and snorkel came off. They had to cut it into four pieces to weigh it on a 20kg scale. It was 52 kilos — a men's world record she had no idea she'd broken, and a women's international bluewater record that still stands today. Jean spent a year in hospital as a seven-year-old being told she might not walk again, decided she'd live the most adventurous life on Earth, and has spent forty years backing that up: a 138kg marlin landed solo on a 1.2m gun with a rusty spear, a 26kg barracuda world record in Sierra Leone she also didn't know about, and a wrist full of silver bangles that accidentally invented the flasher. She talks about being laughed off boats in a sport that had no place for women, why patience beats strength on big fish, and how she hunts each game fish species differently. For anyone who thinks you need a big gun and big lungs to shoot big fish, and for every woman wondering whether there's room for her out there.

The Greatest Rivalry in sport is back. The All Blacks kick off their tour of South Africa tomorrow, taking on the Stormers. Coach Dave Rennie says that every player will get a chance to impress in the opening matches, and potentially get a spot in the Springbok test teams. NZ Herald Rugby Correspondent Liam Napier told Ryan Bridge they're expecting to see a comfortable victory. He says the All Blacks a running out a second string team, but the Stormers are six weeks out from their domestic competition, and are missing nine Springbok players.

El mundo del motor es pasión, y la pasión muchas veces trae de la mano la rivalidad extrema. Esa rivalidad puede escalar hasta convertirse en odio puro. Esto ha sucedido en la industria automotriz en múltiples ocasiones, dejando historias fascinantes de hermanos que se demandan por millones, ingenieros que desafían las normas, marcas que nacen por despecho y genios que se enfrentan a gobiernos. Vamos a abrir la caja de Pandora de la industria del automóvil para descubrir diez rivalidades históricas donde “volaron los cuchillos”: 1. Henry Ford vs. Los Hermanos Dodge John y Horace Dodge fabricaban motores para el Ford T y poseían el 10% de las acciones. La guerra estalló cuando Henry Ford dejó de pagar dividendos para asfixiar económicamente a los hermanos, sabiendo que querían fundar su propia marca. Los Dodge demandaron a Ford, ganaron 19 millones de dólares en 1919 y usaron ese dinero para crear a uno de los mayores rivales históricos de Ford. 2. Louis Renault vs. André Citroën La guerra de la Torre Eiffel. Renault era un ingeniero huraño; Citroën, un genio del marketing que llegó a iluminar la Torre Eiffel con su nombre. La batalla fue tecnológica y financiera. Citroën se arruinó desarrollando la tracción delantera solo para dejar obsoletos a los coches de Renault. Cuando Citroën quebró en 1934, Louis Renault celebró la caída de su mayor enemigo. 3. W.O. Bentley vs. Rolls-Royce Cuando la marca deportiva Bentley quebró en 1931, el fabricante Napier planeaba comprarla. Aterrorizados por la competencia, desde Rolls-Royce enviaron a un agente secreto disfrazado de comprador anónimo para pujar más alto en el último segundo. Compraron Bentley solo para neutralizarla, convirtiendo sus coches en "Rolls-Royce con otra parrilla" durante décadas. 4. Soichiro Honda vs. el Gobierno de Japón En los años 60, el todopoderoso ministerio japonés MITI quería prohibir a Honda fabricar coches para consolidar el mercado en solo tres grandes marcas. Soichiro Honda se enfrentó a los burócratas a gritos y aceleró el lanzamiento de su deportivo S500 antes de que la ley entrara en vigor, salvando la existencia de su marca con pura rebeldía. 5. Smokey Yunick vs. El reglamento de la NASCAR Conocido como el "mejor mecánico de la historia", Yunick no rompía el reglamento: leía lo que no estaba escrito. Instalaba tubos de combustible gigantes para burlar la capacidad de los depósitos o creaba carrocerías a escala reducida para mejorar la aerodinámica, volviendo locos a los comisarios de carrera. 6. Carroll Shelby vs. Alejandro de Tomaso Ambos intentaron crear juntos el coche de carreras P70, pero sus egos chocaron. Shelby canceló el proyecto brutalmente. De Tomaso, humillado, tomó el chasis descartado, le añadió una carrocería de Giugiaro y lo bautizó como De Tomaso Mangusta. El nombre fue una venganza directa: la mangosta es el único animal capaz de matar a una cobra (en referencia al Shelby Cobra). 7. Ferdinand Piëch vs. Mercedes-Benz Cuando Mercedes lanzó el Clase A, invadiendo el territorio de Volkswagen, Ferdinand Piëch lo tomó como una declaración de guerra. En respuesta, ordenó crear el Volkswagen Phaeton para atacar al Mercedes Clase S. Impuso parámetros de ingeniería casi imposibles, logrando una vendetta técnica que humilló temporalmente a sus rivales de Stuttgart. 8. John DeLorean vs. La Gerencia de General Motors DeLorean odiaba las restricciones de los directivos, que prohibían motores de más de 330 pulgadas cúbicas en coches medianos. Encontró un vacío legal y lanzó el enorme motor de 6.4 litros no como un coche nuevo, sino como un "paquete opcional" del Pontiac Tempest. Así nació el mítico GTO y la era de los Muscle Cars. 9. Henrik Fisker vs. Elon Musk Tesla contrató al diseñador Henrik Fisker para perfilar el Model S. Poco después, Musk lo acusó de hacer un trabajo mediocre a propósito y de robar secretos para lanzar el Fisker Karma. Aunque Fisker ganó la batalla legal inicial y sacó su coche antes, los fallos técnicos hundieron su proyecto, dejando a Musk como vencedor a largo plazo de una guerra llena de odio. 10. Toyota vs. Las 24 Horas de Le Mans Una rivalidad contra el mismísimo destino. Durante décadas, Toyota sufrió averías inexplicables y fallos de última hora liderando Le Mans. La maldición culminó en 2016, cuando su coche se paró a solo tres minutos del final por un conector roto. Tras años de lágrimas, Toyota rompió el maleficio y comenzó una racha de victorias imparable. Conclusión Detrás de cada logotipo cromado hay una historia humana llena de envidia y pasión. Queda claro que, a veces, el odio es el mejor combustible para el progreso.

Stuart Nash appears to be calling time on his political career, ruling out any form of comeback. Nash has apologised to Napier MP Katie Nimon, after calling her 'lazy' for taking maternity leave. The controversy, which included MPs calling Nash sexist, prompted the former Labour cabinet minister to withdraw as NZ First's Napier candidate. Newstalk ZB political reporter Azaria Howell says Stuart Nash already had a controversial reputation, and he's been warned in the past before this incident.

Mums of parliament have united against Stuart Nash, the New Zealand First candidate who was forced to resign. The former Labour Cabinet minister labelled his rival Napier candidate lazy after taking time away from Parliament to look after her newborn. MPs who've had babies while representing their electorates say they're anything but. Political reporter Lauren Crimp has more.

New Zealand First Deputy Leader Shane Jones says it's a sad outcome for Stuart Nash to give up his candidacy. Nash has resigned - after outcry over revelations he'd called his Napier opponent MP Katie Nimon lazy, for taking leave after having a baby. Leader Winston Peters announced the party has accepted Nash's offer to quit. Jones says Nash did an honourable thing - to avoid distracting from the election. "But look, it's not the end of the life for Stuey, he's got a lot more to offer in a variety of other contexts." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Right, is it just me, or is there anyone else out there who thinks it's mighty rich of New Zealand First to force Stuart Nash to resign, given the candidates and MPs they have defended for some of the most outrageous things they have said? Is it not rich that Shane Jones was on the radio saying, "Mm, yeah, sensible for Stuart Nash to have resigned," when he is the guy who referred to the Prime Minister needing to get out the kneepads for Narendra Modi when he visited, and he is the guy who used the phrase "butter chicken tsunami"? Now, I was aware of what was happening about 7pm on Wednesday. What was going on was basically that New Zealand First told Stuart Nash that he needed to quit or be fired. He tried to fight his corner but he was unable to do so and he was basically told that was the end of it. I have to be honest, I was really surprised by this. If this were any other party, it'd be fine, but it's New Zealand First. It feels off-brand for New Zealand First. This is a party that's made a virtue of resisting the wokesters and resisting the mainstream media. And then, the minute the wokesters and the mainstream media get upset at Stuart Nash, New Zealand First doesn't even hold its line for 12 hours. It just folds immediately. I mean, that has got to shake the confidence of voters who are attracted to New Zealand First because they think the party is going to provide some sort of bulwark against the creep of political correctness and so-called wokeness. Apparently not. They will fold within 12 hours. Now, I can only guess at why New Zealand First has folded on Nash and not on Jones. I'm guessing it's because there are more women voters in New Zealand than there are Indian voters. I'm guessing it's because Winston Peters prides himself personally on chivalry towards women and this would actually personally offend him. I'm guessing it's because Nash was already on his last chance after the "What is a woman?" thing and the aggro texts to Todd McClay. I'm guessing it's because Nash was not going to win the seat of Napier anyway so this gets New Zealand First out of an embarrassing defeat by a woman who's apparently distracted by her toddler. Because otherwise, immediately agreeing with the wokesters and the mainstream media does seem like quite a weird thing for New Zealand First to do, don't you think?

New Zealand First has swiftly picked a new candidate for Napier after the resignation of Stuart Nash. Te Kira Lawrence, who was previously announced as the Party's East Cape candidate, will now stand in Nash's place. Stuart Nash resigned from New Zealand First last night, after a text was revealed where he called Napier MP Katie Nimon the laziest MP he'd ever come across, for taking leave after having a baby. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says politics is a 'rough-and-tumble' game, but it's surprising National stepped in over this matter. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stuart Nash is out of politics for good after another massive, self-inflicted wound. After falling out of Cabinet under Labour and trying to rebuild his career with Winston Peters and New Zealand First, Nash lasted just one week before sending a text to former National minister Chris Finlayson criticizing a local Napier candidate. We look at how Winston Peters acted quickly to force him out, why Christopher Luxon ruled him out of Cabinet, and how Nash repeatedly ruined his own political comebacks through a lack of discipline and poor judgment. Plus, we speak with Mark Hooper, a Taranaki farmer with Federated Farmers, about the government stepping in to halt iwi co-governance agreements with local councils. We discuss what needs to replace these agreements under the new planning rules, the high costs and delays of cultural impact assessments for regular landowners, and why New Zealand needs a transparent, high-trust planning system that works for all farmers and ratepayers.

Rafa Flores, Chief Product and Growth Officer of Treasure AI, joins the podcast to talk about his career path from engineering recruiter to “boomerang” leader returning after six years away, and Treasure Data's rebrand to Treasure AI. Flores says the shift is an evolution based on the company's machine-learning and predictive heritage, its technical DNA of using AI internally, and a desire to create a lifestyle-like community brand. He explains Treasure AI Studio, which orchestrates CDP and activation in plain English across web and mobile, enabling faster troubleshooting, campaign deployment, and real-time insights. Flores argues first-party data remains a “goldmine” but must be activated incrementally with governed access; how AI helps answer questions quickly but requires guardrails, discusses fear and overemphasis on speed/cost versus value and predicts growth of “digital workers”.   About Treasure AI Treasure AI is the agentic experience platform helping the world's most loved brands finally activate the customer data they already have. Founded in 2011 and backed by SoftBank, the company spent 15 years quietly building the infrastructure behind some of the most recognizable names in retail, automotive, CPG, and financial services — before rebranding in 2026 to reflect what it had always been building toward. Named a Forrester Wave Leader for B2C CDPs, Treasure AI unifies fragmented first-party data into a single living customer profile and puts AI to work on it in real time, on behalf of human marketers who set the strategy and make the calls. The result for brands like Nestlé, AB InBev, Stellantis, and Condé Nast is measurable: millions in recovered media spend, significant revenue generated, and marketing teams that finally get to go home on time.   About Rafa Flores Rafa Flores is the Chief Product and Growth Officer at Treasure AI, where he leads product strategy and growth with a simple conviction: the best technology gives people their time back. A builder by nature and a father of four, Rafa has always believed that progress is personal — that the products worth building are the ones that free someone up to be more present, more creative, and more human. That belief drives everything from how he runs his teams to the unconventional call he made to give away free access to a platform traditionally reserved for Fortune 500 companies, a bet that raised eyebrows and is already showing results. He brings that same bias toward progress to every stage he walks onto.  Time Stamps 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:39 Rafa's Career Journey 01:53 Returning to Treasure Data 03:25 Move at Speed of Now 04:12 Rebrand to Treasure AI 07:22 Lifestyle Brand in B2B 09:57 AI Studio Use Cases 12:37 First Party Data Goldmine 16:29 AI Hype and Real Value 18:38 Digital Workers Ahead 20:31 SaaS Future and Guardrails 23:59 PLG Try Now Campaign 26:02 Advice and Wrap Up   Quotes "It's not just about how much time AI can save you, it's also about how much revenue it can drive for the business."

New Zealand First's Stuart Nash is in trouble again for his comments about women. Politicians from across Parliament are outraged after the Napier candidate accused his competition of being lazy for taking maternity leave. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon reckons Mr Nash is channelling the online manosphere, while Nicola Willis says his attitude belongs in the 1920s. Political reporter Russell Palmer has more.

Stuart Nash has blasted National MP Katie Nimon, claiming she took nine months leave after giving birth - and is the 'laziest MP' he's ever come across. Nash made the claim in a text to former MP Chris Finlayson, who shared it on his podcast. Nimon, who's facing Nash in the Napier electorate this election, says she only took six months away from Parliament, and continued working full time in her electorate. Newstalk ZB reporter Azaria Howell says Nash's comments have sparked backlash, with Prime Minister Chris Luxon labelling the comments 'sexist'.

Politicians across the spectrum are expressing disgust at NZ First candidate Stuart Nash as he attacks his National Party opponent in the Napier electorate for taking maternity leave - naming her as the “laziest MP I have ever come across”. Christopher Luxon called it "sexist" and Chris Bishop said the comments from Nash were “disgusting”Finance Minister Nicola Willis says while inflation has been largely driven by fuel prices, rates are also an issue that needs attention and she, and National, are trying to sell the idea that it wasn't for the external pressures like the closure of the Strait of Hormuz then inflation would only be at 2.9%...funny I can't remember National giving Labour a pass on external pressures and allow them to celebrate what inflation WOULD BE if it wasn't for COVID.The Climate Change Commission has found New Zealand is not on track to meet domestic climate change targets, but the Prime Minister says he disagrees. Mr. Luxon said that his Government would respond to the Commission's latest emissions monitoring report, but “our position is really clear ... we're on track to deliver EB budget 1, EB budget 2. There'll be more work for EB budget 3, but we're on track to deliver net zero and we might even deliver it a little earlier”++++++++++++++++++++Like us on Facebook.com/BigHairyNetwork Follow us on Twitter.com/@bighairynetworkFollowing us on TikTok.com/@bighairynetworkSupport us on Patreon www.patreon.com/c/BigHairyNewsCheck out our merch https://bhn.nz/shop/Donate to our work https://bhn.nz/shop/donation/

Multiple generations are getting ready to welcome visitors for the 2026 WI Farm Technology Days event. Redetzke's No Joke Dairy outside of Stratford has a story to share about family working together and making a farm work. Bob Bosold visits with family members Sam Redetzke and brother Matt on how they juggle schedules with off farm duties to keep the wheels rolling. The state's largest outdoor agriculture event is coming up July 14-16. Heat returns to Wisconsin. Stu Muck says we won't likely reach the 90's but it will be warmer. Things should stay dry until at least Thursday according to the forecast. Today's investment in agriculture aren't just about technology and engineering. Farms and farmers depend on people for good advice and service on the technology that they're investing in. Our example today is Lake Effect Farm in the Plymouth area. Brad Laack, the owner/operator of the farm, has placed a lot of trust in Tim Schultz, owner and operator of Schultz's Interstate Ag in Monroe. Schultz's provides state-of-the-art grain handling technology across the Midwest, including Lake Effect Farm. Schultz visits with Pam Jahnke about the clear communication that's necessary on projects like this to make sure that a farmers dreamed are realized and maintained. Paid for by Schultz's Interstate Ag. Soybeans are rallying on a Monday morning! An unconfirmed sale of over 500,000 metric ton of soybeans going to an undisclosed destination is inspiring traders. Pam Jahnke also updates the conversations between the U.S. and Canada on renewing USMCA. Agriculture technology isn't just limited to agriculture. Kiley Allan finds out about the multi-use options for drones. Davis Napier, Owner and Operator at Seek, says he uses drones equipped with high-resolution thermal cameras and spotlights to locate downed deer for hunters who have lost the trail, want to avoid trespassing on neighboring land, or wish to minimize property disturbance. To stay within Wisconsin DNR regulations and avoid hunting with a drone, he requires clients to sign waivers and will only disclose a deer's location if the thermal imaging confirms the animal has already expired. Beyond recovery, the drone captures and stitches together thousands of images to create property maps that are significantly more detailed than satellite imagery, allowing landowners to see specific deer trails and terrain features. During the off-season, the technology is used for herd analysis to help landowners understand deer bedding patterns and population health (buck-to-doe ratios) without disrupting the animals during hunting season. Napier founded his business, Seeker, based on his lifelong passion for hunting and his childhood experience of the heartbreak associated with failing to recover a deer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jon Benson, founder and CEO of BNSN, joins the podcast to talk about his path from writing the “Fit Over 40” book to becoming a leading direct-response copywriter and building AI tools for copywriting. Benson explains why video sales letters (VSLs) are effective, combining voice and text, narrative, and emotional pain points to reduce skepticism and improve message retention. He describes how his software BNSN generates higher-quality copy than generic chatbots by training on strong examples and running multiple rewriting passes to remove common AI artifacts. Benson argues B2B marketers should write to one person, focus on relieving the buyer's pain rather than company features, and use tactics like strong subject lines and PS sections in emails.   About BNSN BNSN.AI is an AI-powered copywriting platform built for small business owners to create high-converting ads, emails, and sales pages in minutes. It is trained on proven, high-performing marketing campaigns and designed to simplify the process of writing persuasive copy through promptless AI tools and built-in marketing frameworks.   About Jon Benson Jon BENSON is a copywriter, entrepreneur, and AI pioneer whose work has quietly shaped how the world buys things online. Best known as the inventor of the Video Sales Letter, the format that became the backbone of modern digital marketing, he has spent decades writing words that move people to act—not through manipulation, but through what he calls “ethical persuasion.” In 2010, Jon turned his attention to copywriting software, becoming one of the earliest pioneers at the intersection of AI and sales copy.

Jack Fitzpatrick and Bennett Conlin are back with one of their most fun offseason formats: a live draft of the Top 3 JMU Football underclassmen and Top 3 upperclassmen to watch heading into the 2026 season. Phil Steele's preseason magazine just dropped, and it has JC Evans listed as the starting quarterback over Camden Coleman, a result that has Bennett spinning. The guys break down what Napier told Steele, what it means for the QB competition, why Camden's track record still makes him the logical starter, and where Davi Belfort and Arrington Maiden fit into the picture. On the underclassmen side, picks include JC Evans at QB1, a rising safety in Seth Gathers and Deacon Rawls. On the upperclassmen side, Tyler Brown's wild career arc (Napier → Deion Sanders → back to Napier) makes him a surefire starter, Kells Bush looks like a Phil Steele preseason All-Sunbelt pick at defensive tackle, Gannon Wethersby is primed for 100+ tackles, Amar Thomas finally gets his every-down shot, and Corey Scott headlines a wide receiver room that might push JMU toward a 60-40 pass split. The guys also dig deep on JMU's 2026 recruiting class under Billy Napier — what 117 offers actually means, the brutal reality of verbal commitments in the transfer portal era, and the cutthroat business behind the scenes that even beloved coaches like Bob Chesney were running. Plus: a quick update on tight end KD Mosley's legal situation, the FOIA'd non-conference contracts with conference-exit language baked in, and the Sunbelt exit fee drama with Keith Gill pushing for a $25 million barrier. Whether you're tracking the recruiting Big Board at buymeacoffee.com/jmusportsnews or just want to know who's going to ball out in 2026, this is your essential JMU Football offseason breakdown. ️ CHAPTER MARKERS 0:00 Intro & JMU Recruiting Big Board Update 1:05 Verbal Commitments Mean Nothing — The Reality of Modern Recruiting 2:28 117 Offers, 17 Commits: Breaking Down JMU's Class 5:00 NIL, Rev Share & How JMU Competes with P4 Schools 6:20 Transfer Portal Chaos: Revoked Offers 8:49 Podcast Schedule Update + Show Format Preview 10:15 The Draft Format Explained: Underclassmen vs. Upperclassmen 11:23 Pick 1 (Underclassmen): JC Evans — Phil Steele Says He's QB1 12:47 Phil Steele's QB Depth Chart Breakdown 14:05 JC Evans vs. Camden Coleman: Who Fits Napier's System? 17:00 Pick 2 (Underclassmen): Deacon Rawls 20:00 Pick 3 (Underclassmen) 24:00 Pick 4 (Underclassmen): Seth Gatherrs, Rising Star Safety 27:01 TJ McGill & the Safety Room — Reason for Optimism or Concern? 28:37 Flashback: Cignetti's Defense, Chauncey, and the UVA Game 30:54 Upperclassmen Draft Begins 31:05 Pick 1 (Upperclassmen): Tyler Brown — Napier to Deion to Back Again 32:31 Pick 2 (Upperclassmen): Kells Bush — Preseason All-Sunbelt? 34:33 Pick 3 (Upperclassmen): Gannon Wethersby, 100-Tackle Candidate 35:15 Pick 4 (Upperclassmen): Amar Thomas Gets His Every-Down Shot 36:05 Pick 5 (Upperclassmen): Corey Scott & the WR Corps 37:28 Could JMU Go 60-40 Pass Split in 2025? 40:00 Camden Coleman Revisited — Why Is He QB3?! 43:12 Phil Steele's Depth Chart Methodology & Surprises 44:51 KD Mosley Legal Update 47:05 FOIA'd Non-Conference Contracts — Exit Clause Language 47:57 Sunbelt Exit Fee Drama: Keith Gill Pushes $25M Barrier 49:48 Outro, ULM Chair Night, Earl Grey Debate Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The conversation also examines the challenges of modern B2B research, from identifying “dark” prospects outside CRM systems through awareness and perception surveys, to reaching niche audiences with small sample sizes.

A father in Napier was fed up with boy racers keeping the household awake for months on end - and he eventually took matters into his own hands. In February, he grabbed his paintball gun, crept up to a vantage point with a good view of dozens of youths gathered around their cars, and fired 500 paintballs at them over several minutes. As a result, he was sentenced to 40 hours community work and had his paintball gun confiscated. Eastern District Prevention Manager Inspector Andy Sloan says he understands how frustrating this kind of anti-social behaviour can be. He explained they regularly follow-up on reports from the public, but information like vehicle registrations are useful for incidents like this.

14-year-old Kirsa Jensen was passionate about animals, especially horses. Living in Napier on New Zealand's North Island, there were many beautiful places to go riding. On September 1st 1983, Kirsa set off on her horse, 'Commodore', for Awatoto beach, a journey of around thirty minutes. Kirsa always came home by 5 pm, but on this day she failed to return. A massive search was soon underway, with several witnesses putting Kirsa in the presence of a man at an old concrete gun emplacement close to the beach. Further sightings followed, and a prime suspect soon emerged. Despite this, over 40 years since she was last seen, Kirsa remains missing.Sources for the episode can be found hereSupport the showFollow  Persons Unknown:  Instagram and FacebookEmail: personsunknownpod@gmail.comWebsite with Transcripts:https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/

Napier has been home to "open cry" wool auctions for 150 or so years, but last month it looked like the tradition was coming to an end.

JMU's spring sports season is officially in the books — and Jack and Bennett are handing out grades. They break down where JMU lacrosse, softball, and baseball stand heading into the offseason, why Virginia Tech and UVA have made life harder for JMU softball, and whether anyone should be fired (short answer: no, and here's why). Then it's time for the thing JMU fans actually came for — FOOTBALL. Jack and Bennett dig into the new Class of 2027 recruiting Big Board (available now at buymeacoffee.com/jmusportsnews), break down the men's basketball transfer portal class, and debate whether Billy Napier's 2026 schedule sets JMU up for a 10-win season — or just makes the Sun Belt look soft.

Today I decided to do a Witness Wednesday about how God has been working in my life. I think it is just as important to talk about the little ways God is working as it is to talk about the big ways. Today I want to give you an update on how I can see Him blessing my life. First, I'll start with Noah going off to school. Noah applied pretty late compared to when I remember applying, and he didn't apply to many schools. He knew where he wanted to go—overseas—so most of his applications were in the United Kingdom. He chose Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland and found out in early June. That gave us three months to get everything ready. Going to school in another country is a lot of work. There were so many hoops—finding housing, registering, and getting a visa. It was long and tiring, but the Lord was with us. By the time we applied for his visa on August 14th, we were told it could take up to 15 working days. That would have meant arriving on the first day of classes. However, thanks to the Lord and the people at the passport office, we got it back in about a week. That also allowed us to find affordable plane tickets. I was able to go with Noah to get him settled. I was nervous leaving him in another country where he didn't know anyone. But thanks to the Lord, I was mostly able to focus on what an amazing adventure this would be for him. On the second day, we went to a store to pick up his residency permit. While there, we met another student who was also going to Napier. They are both engineering majors and found out they would be living in the same dorm building, just one floor apart. We also met his parents and exchanged information, which was so helpful. Suddenly, I wasn't doing all of this alone. Thank you, Lord. Noah moved in on Saturday, and I left Monday morning. Saying goodbye was hard, but I know the Lord is with him and that this will be an amazing year. Next, I want to share about my new job. I felt like this fall would bring a breakthrough. I had been praying about going back to work and thought about substitute teaching a few days a week. One morning at breakfast, a friend mentioned they were hiring coaches to work with people with autism. It sounded perfect. I love coaching, and this allowed me to continue doing that without having to find my own clients. It also gives me more time with my family. Then, out of the blue, a friend from Encounter Ministries reached out about another opportunity—working with women in a homeless ministry as a spiritual mother. I was so excited. I love walking with people in their faith, and I've always felt called to this kind of ministry. I spoke with the priest in charge, and we both felt it was a great fit. The commitment is about three hours a week, which works well with my other responsibilities. They are also studying Bob Schuchts' “Be Healed” model, which I had already read and loved. So not only do I get to walk with these women spiritually, but I also get to continue learning about healing. God is so good. He provided not only what I needed, but also what I longed for. The last thing I want to share is what happened when I met these women. They invited me for evening prayer, Mass, dinner, and the start of their study. It was beautiful, and they were so kind and welcoming. After dinner, we started talking about healing. One woman mentioned pain in her foot, so I prayed for her. After a minute or two, I asked her to move it, and the pain was gone. She was amazed. Another woman had a sprained wrist. I prayed for her, and at first she felt doubtful. She renounced that doubt and asked Jesus where He was. She felt like He said, “in your wrist.” When she moved it, the pain was completely gone. All of us were in awe. It's amazing how God cares even about smaller pains. When we ask, He answers. It was such a beautiful experience. I could see Christ in these women and how much they love the Lord. I don't know what is ahead, but I know God has something amazing planned. I hope when you hear this, you can see how God is working—not just in big miracles, but in the little things. Things like getting a visa back in time so Noah could arrive before classes started. I am so grateful for all the ways God is working in my life. He is such a good, good Father.

Yega Kumarappan explores how sales enablement has evolved from simple content distribution into an AI-driven discipline focused on helping sellers close deals. He explains how Paperflite has grown into an agentic platform that supports sales teams across the entire deal lifecycle, spanning prospect intelligence, content intelligence, conversation intelligence, deal intelligence, and AI-powered coaching. These capabilities help sellers access the right information at the right time, track buyer engagement, and predict deal outcomes with greater confidence. The conversation also highlights a broader shift in the market: ownership of sales enablement is moving from marketing to sales as AI makes its impact on revenue more measurable. Yega emphasizes that while content creation has become easier, distribution and ROI measurement are now the biggest challenges. Finally, he reflects on the growing importance of “knowledge sovereignty”—the need for organisations to capture and leverage their unique expertise—arguing that this will be critical for standing out in a world of increasingly generic AI tools.   About Paperflite Paperflite is a content experience and intelligence platform designed to help businesses maximise the impact of their content and drive stronger audience engagement. It enables teams to easily discover the most relevant content across the organisation, share it seamlessly across multiple channels, and track how audiences interact with it.

Its built-in analytics engine provides deep insights into buyer behaviour, helping teams understand what resonates and take the right actions to improve conversations and conversions.   About Yega Kumarappan Yega Kumarappan is the co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Paperflite.

Florida's players went to the old staff and asked for tougher practices — and nothing changed. Under Jon Sumrall, nobody has to ask. We dive into spring scrimmage takeaways, insider practice notes, the QB competition, explosive defensive performances, Faulkner's "we can't block is no excuse" philosophy, and the tempo system designed to weaponize Florida's speed. This is a new era in Gainesville. #FloridaGators #GatorsFootball #SECFootball #CollegeFootball #GatorsBreakdown #GoGators #CFB #FloridaGatorsFootball JOIN Gators Breakdown Plus: https://gatorsbreakdownplus.com Warner Safari Polos: https://warnersafari.com/discount/gatorsbreakdown Gators Breakdown Merch: https://gatorsbreakdown.printful.me Get Florida Gators merch at Fanatics: https://fanatics.93n6tx.net/DVYxja Questions or comments?

In the summer of 2009, La Roux released “Bulletproof,” an irresistible pop gem that combined a synth-heavy 80s sound with an instantly memorable chorus. The English duo's androgynous vocalist Elly Jackson also provided a visual aesthetic that stood out from the crowd, and the single could be heard everywhere from dance clubs to public pools. With a hit song and soon a Grammy in hand, La Roux seemed on track for a long and prolific career…so why does this episode of One Hit Thunder exist? This week, we're joined by Joshua Napier who has INDEED been there, done that, messed around with the music of La Roux for over a decade, but why didn't the rest of their catalog sweep the world off its feet?
