How one father, determined to reclaim his daughter's memory, brought down Alex Jones.On December 14, 2012, Robbie Parker's daughter Emilie was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary, a tragedy that changed Robbie's life and our country forever. By the next day, Alex Jones was on air claiming the shooting was a hoax.So begins Parker's David and Goliath story, a tale of hope and resilience amid hatred and division. While Robbie and his family spent the next decade attempting to grieve, Jones's fans harassed them, calling them crisis actors. The hatred pushed Robbie inward, disconnecting him from the world and his family. Four years after Sandy Hook, an Infowars listener accosted Robbie three thousand miles away from Newtown, Connecticut, repeating the same lies Alex Jones had spread for years.Soon after, seventeen students were murdered at Florida's Marjory Stonemason Douglas High School. Robbie and his wife spoke with one of the victims' parents and learned they were also being bombarded with hateful messages. He realized he could no longer avoid this terrifying reality, and with the help of Sandy Hook parents, lawyers, and supporters, Robbie stood up to Alex Jones in court to heal and reclaim his daughter's memory.A Father's Fight is more than a memoir; it's a stirring portrait of an unbreakable human spirit. It's a testament to a father's love and perseverance in the face of insurmountable grief. A FATHER'S FIGHT: Taking on Alex Jones and Reclaiming the Truth about Sandy Hook-Robbie Parker

If a council gives a media outlet some numbers and the media outlet simply re-posts those numbers, is that reportage? Or propaganda? The headline was "more cyclists get on their bikes", which is true. But at no point in my reading of the cycleways of the nation's major cities, was any definitive analysis done as to whether the cost of the infrastructure to get people on their bikes was worth it. In Christchurch some popular routes clocked 2000 trips a day. Is that a lot? Well, remember to halve those numbers because trips are each way. So it's 1000 trips going to and from something, and this is in a city of 400,000. In Wellington there are four key corridors. They racked up 87,000 trips in a month. So if you have 87,000, you actually have roughly 43,000 trips to and from. Divide it by four for the corridors and you have roughly 10,000. Divide that by 30 (for days of the month) and you have 333 people a day. That's not a lot of people for cycleways that would have cost many millions of dollars. In Christchurch they were claiming a 40% increase in usage, except that was from 2017. So in eight years it's about 5% a year. Not really a booming number. Newtown in Wellington is one of their most popular routes. They do, they claim, between 8,000-12,000 trips a month. So let's average that. It's 10,000 divided by two so we are down to 5,000. Divide that by 30 and we end up at 166 a day for one of the most popular routes. So is cycling booming, or has the council PR department cobbled together their best numbers and passed it off in press release form to a gullible newsroom in the hope no one has a calculator? Don't get me wrong – there's nothing wrong with cycling. Cycling is fun and good for you, but when you add the cost of specialist infrastructure and do the math, it's got a very EV-type vibe about it, doesn't it? It's a lot of hype that is never quite matched by the reality. Numbers and percentages are easily messed with to paint the sort of picture you want. The favourite is the huge percentage increase, but you're not supposed to ask from what, to what. One to two is 100%, but it's still only two overall. Beware the bandwagon and the machine, normally tax or ratepayer funded, that pushes this stuff. And, sadly, the media who peddles it. No pun intended.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to City Power Chief Operations Officer Charles Tlouane as Johannesburg battles a relentless assault on its electricity infrastructure. Armed zama zamas are no longer just mining illegally—they’re tearing copper cables from underground tunnels, triggering fires beneath highways and blackouts across Braamfontein, Parktown, and Newtown. City Power says this isn’t petty theft—it’s coordinated sabotage. With over 170 arrests already this year, the crisis continues. Streets are closing, damage is skyrocketing, and City Power admits they’re being outmanned and outgunned. So, who’s really running Joburg’s power grid? And when, if ever, will the lights stay on? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Solénoïde (14.07.2025) - Depuis quelques années, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan trace une cartographie sonore unique : celle d'un territoire à la fois imaginaire et bien réel, peuplé de passerelles surélevées, de cités idéales brutalistes et d'autoroutes qui filent vers l'infini. Au fil de ses disques, Gordon Chapman-Fox a composé une série d'albums comme autant de strates temporelles. Cette semaine, c'est cet héritage sonore que nous prolongeons avec ce SolénoMix inédit, où Warrington-Runcorn dialogue avec d'autres explorateurs de paysages intérieurs. De la pulsation planante extraite de son 4e album « The Nation's Most Central Location », à l'inédit « Sunset Over Stanlow », en passant par les horizons liquides de Field Lines Cartographer, Elsa Hewitt ou Arushi Jain, cette sélection est une invitation à la dérive mentale : une bande-son pour imaginer la construction d'un nouveau monde, ou contempler la fin de l'ancien.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (07/11/2025): 3:05pm- According to a report from Axios, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino didn't show up for work on Friday off after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding her office's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

There have been several recent attacks on ICE facilities—including one attack in McAllen, Texas involving a man with an assault rifle. 3:20pm- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Rich will be hosting Fox News contributor Gianno Caldwell for a Politics & Pints event on Thursday, July 31st at 7:30pm at the Zlock Performing Arts Center in Newtown, PA.

There is (horrifyingly) an event in Pittsburgh on Saturday where you can! 5:05pm- The Department of Justice and FBI have announced that there is no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein “client list” and that their inquiry will come to a close—though, the law enforcement departments did release an 11-hour video recording from outside Epstein's prison cell in hopes of dispelling claims that Epstein was secretly murdered. There is, however, one-minute from the tape missing—which Attorney General Pam Bondi attempted to explain away when questioned by the press on Tuesday. 5:15pm- Don't worry, Bill Pullman is still alive!

Did Matt really pick Titanic? 5:30pm- During a meeting at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he has officially nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. 5:40pm- A Kamala Harris interview was so bizarre that a social media personality decided not to use it, a Washington Post editorial complains about CVS locking up shampoo, Grok has a meltdown on X, and Gov.

Hi: I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club with the club's weekly QNEWS update for Sunday 13 July. We're going to have a busy member meeting tomorrow, Monday 14th. Don't forget that this meeting will be held at district Scouts HQ, which is at 2 Victory Street in Newtown, the suburb of Toowoomba. There's a small carpark at the front, but plenty of room in the street - walk up the driveway, and you'll find us at the building at the back, where we'll have great facilities and a huge screen to go with our online presence. Tea and coffee as usual. This is Allan VK4HIT with news from Ipswich and District Radio Club. June's monthly business meeting formally approved a WICEN sub committee to organise currently committed activities and investigate new events to support. Other areas of WICEN focus would include service for community events and to actively support training and mentoring for new members, especially younger members. Reporting from Ipswich this is Allan, VK4HIT. Hello, I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I've been thinking. There is the old saying that variety is the spice of life and if you have been to meetings where time crawled slowly past as the agenda was meticulously followed, then you would appreciate a little spice in your day. I have been thinking about some of the things that can provide variety in club activities. Routine has its place but variation and surprise can add sparkle to otherwise dull activities. Now I am not suggesting having people jumping from cakes as entertainment but there are other ways of giving a different look to presentations. I remember being selected to give a small speech of thanks at my school assembly and virtually quivering my way through the vote of thanks to the guest speaker. That was in primary school and it left its mark on the memory and this is something that so many of us will relate to. Public speaking is almost as bad as going to the old fashioned dentist for bringing on the adrenaline, or as many people called it, the heebie-jeebies. We know many people and some of them within our club, who have interesting stories to tell; some directly relating to radio and many on things that most of us would like to know. Why that person declines a nice friendly invitation to speak at the club could be that same deep seated fear of “public speaking” and the fear of embarrassing themself. Can we consider arranging things around a couple of comfortable chairs and a table with some water to wet dry throats and have a conversation between two people? I am sure we have watched discussions on TV that use this format and it is more relaxing for the participants as well as the audience. Then there is the show and tell type evening where a few people bring along projects and display them and answer questions and get suggestions from others as to how to improve the items or source materials so that others can replicate the items. Years ago, colour slides taken on 35mm cameras could fill an evening with projected images and a commentary by the photographer. These days the laptop computer and a large screen or projector can show a range of stills and movie images with either recorded commentary or a basic voice over which allows for question and answers. There is no need for stiff formality and the relaxed presentation style can further encourage audience participation. Then of course, who said the presenter has to be physically present? These days with video apps being so highly developed, all that is needed is a suitable display connected to the internet and a presentation can come from virtually any place on the planet. I have watched several presentations of this kind on YouTube. These are suggestions for people to build upon but being able to maintain a sense of variety in our club activities, aside from the obvious “ham” ones makes meetings more social and inviting. I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and that's what I think, how about you?

At the 8 July 2025 public meeting of the NBCJMA (Newtown Bucks County Joint Municipal Authority, aka Newtown Sewer Authority) Board, two items were discussed/voted on that are of interest to residents: (1) Adoption of Policy for Conduct of Authority Meetings, and (2) Approval of the 2025/2026 Budget. Item (1) actually concerns the intent of the Board to limit public comments. As the Solicitor said the "desire" of the Board is to remove the paragraph in the resolution that says "For ALL (emphasis added) on the agenda, the Board will accept public comment prior to each official action." This may not be acted upon until the August 2025 or September 2025 Authority Board meeting. Item (2) is the votes to approve the 2025/2026 Budget, which was not released to the public. Of interest is the comments by the Authority Manager Mike Menditto who said there is NO rate increase and there is "no section or category for waste water treatment plant."

Trauma is a Universal Part of the Human Experience Scarlett Lewis and her mom, Maureen, are back at the Blue Colony Diner in Newtown, CT discussing forgiveness. Trauma is a universal part of the human experience, and helping kids develop the emotional intelligence to face their pain with curiosity rather than shame or avoidance could be life-changing. When children (and adults) learn to explore their pain, they can transform it into self-awareness, resilience, and even compassion for others.

In this episode of the Postural Restoration podcast i am joined by Michael Pedersen, DPT, PTA, PRC. Michael started his clinical career after earning his associates as a Physical Therapy Assistant and taking his first job with The Therapy Network in Newtown, VA. Michael was first introduced to Physical Therapy alongside his work with swimmers as a swim coach and the team of providers this exposed him to. Following his PTA program and starting to work in the clinic Michael was introduced to PRI early on in his career by Laurie Johnson, who was at the time his clinical director and the one who offered him a job. During this time our lives adapted to COVID and much of Michael's course exposure to the science took place via the online coursework, as both he and Laurie immersed themselves in the concepts, taking dozens of courses within only a couple years. Michael credits the results he saw clinically for igniting his passion for the science of Postural Restoration.Over the next several years Michael dove in to any content he could related to the implementation of PRI. Studying Neal Hallinan YouTube videos, attending courses, and working to apply it in the clinic setting alongside Laurie. This eventually led him to apply for and earn his PRC credentialing as part of the PRC class of 2022, two years following his first course. Michael discusses the desire to implement PRI to the fullest within his scope of practice while at the same time continuing to dice deeper into thew science itself. Because of what he now knew and saw work successfully, for his patients in front of him, Michael realized that he desired to go back to school with the goal of becoming a Physical Therapist.Around the time that Michael earned his PRC he applied and was accepted to South College in Knoxville, TN allowing him to take part in their hybrid DPT program. This allowed him the flexibility to complete schooling while only having to do so in person periodically. Following this program Michael had the opportunity to spend his last clinical rotation at the Hruska Clinic where he has spent the last 10 weeks. Michael credits his time in the clinic with helping him better understand when and how to integrate with other professionals and with the smaller things like technique implementation and making sure PRI objective testing is utilized to guide treatment. Michael and I discuss the importance of getting people upright, sooner rather than later, and one of his desires to help patients handle load better in an upright position whether under additional load or just managing gravity on a day to day basis.Michael has a unique experience having been exposed to PRI so early in his career and also having great mentorship around him throughout his journey, and now aims to build upon his experience utilizing PRI as a PTA as he returns to clinical care as a DPT. Michael has a strong interest in Brazilian Jujitsu, Swimming, and many other modalities such as dry needling and manual therapy as he utilizes them to aide in a PRI program. Michael's goal is to now utilize everything he has learned from PT schooling, mentorship along the way and time within the PRI community to address the person in front of him for their unique needs, implementing PRI to its fullest whether individually or as part of an interdisciplinary team.

Anele has a question, a Big one in fact: If the oldest building in Germany was blown to smithereens, can you still call it the oldest building? She says: "Our tour guide is walking us around and says this is the oldest building, this building is night next to the New Town hall, it was built in 1670 what what ... but it was destroyed in the war and then rebuilt 40 years ago using wallpaper that looks like old bricks. Surely that is then NOT the oldest building."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
