What I share is offered in service of your integration and growth, so you may take conscious steps toward healing what arises during our work together.I have had these gifts since childhood. As I became aware that others did not share these abilities, I chose to keep them private as a form of self-protection. In my early twenties, I began to speak more openly, with discernment, while also starting a long and meaningful journey of healing from childhood trauma. This personal work continues to shape both my understanding of myself and my approach as a healer.A significant foundation of my experience comes from participating in a weekly meditative study group for 35 years, led through channeling by the Ascended Master Kuthumi. The teachings were wide-ranging including the Tree of Life (Kabbalah), Hermetic principles governing energy, the Rays, chakra work and clearing, grounding, manifestation, meditation, and working with multiple aspects of the Self. A central focus was learning to recognize and release limiting beliefs from consciousness. From this work, I gained tools, insight, and lived wisdom that continue to inform my practice.”Join Crystal's community here: https://www.iknowstuff.me/your-next-stepPurchase Crystal's book here: Remembering Who You AreLink to purchase Lifewave patches from Mo: https://www.lifewave.com/pillaroflight----------Follow I love it when

This Day in Legal History: Nixon Aides ConvictedOn January 21, 1975, three of Richard Nixon's closest aides—H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, and former Attorney General John Mitchell—were convicted for their roles in the Watergate cover-up. The charges? Conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury. These convictions weren't just about punishing political wrongdoing; they were the direct legal aftermath of the Supreme Court's ruling in United States v. Nixon six months earlier. That decision famously held that executive privilege—long seen as a near-impenetrable shield—does not extend to cover-ups and criminal conduct. The message was as clear as it was historic: even the most powerful figures in government are not beyond the reach of the law.The Watergate trials became a masterclass in the tension between power and accountability. These weren't fringe operatives—they were the President's top men, brought down not by partisan maneuvering but by due process. In convicting them, the courts affirmed a fundamental principle: constitutional protections are not carte blanche for corruption. That principle has since been tested repeatedly, often invoked but rarely with the same clarity.While Nixon himself was pardoned by Gerald Ford, his aides faced real legal consequences. And in doing so, they served as a sobering example of what happens when loyalty to power eclipses loyalty to the law.On January 24, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a high-stakes case involving President Donald Trump's attempt to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook—an unprecedented move that could reshape the legal boundaries of central bank independence. Trump is challenging a lower court ruling that barred him from removing Cook while her legal challenge continues. At issue is whether a president can dismiss a Fed governor without due process, despite the Federal Reserve Act's “for cause” removal standard, which lacks clear definition.Cook, the first Black woman appointed to the Fed's board (by President Biden in 2022), argues Trump's push is politically motivated, tied to disagreements over monetary policy. Trump cited past mortgage fraud allegations—which Cook denies—as grounds for her removal, but a district court found those likely insufficient and in violation of her Fifth Amendment rights. The D.C. Circuit declined to stay that ruling.The case has major implications: no president has ever tried to fire a Fed governor, and the Court's decision could determine how insulated the central bank remains from political interference. It also arrives amid broader questions about the scope of presidential control over independent agencies—and a criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, which many see as part of the same pressure campaign.By way of brief background, a Federal Reserve governor is a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the central banking authority of the United States. The Board is composed of seven governors, each appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate to serve staggered 14-year terms. These governors play a critical role in shaping U.S. monetary policy, overseeing the operations of the Federal Reserve Banks, and regulating certain financial institutions. Their primary responsibilities include setting the discount rate, influencing the federal funds rate (the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans), and voting on key decisions made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)—the body that manages the nation's money supply and interest rate targets.Importantly, Fed governors are designed to be insulated from political pressure to preserve the central bank's independence. That's why they can only be removed by the president “for cause”—a vague legal standard that has rarely, if ever, been tested. This structural independence is meant to prevent short-term political interests from influencing decisions that have long-term economic consequences, such as controlling inflation, stabilizing employment, or responding to financial crises. While their work often operates behind the scenes, the policies they help shape impact virtually every corner of the U.S. economy—from mortgage rates to job growth to the value of the dollar.US Supreme Court considers Trump's bid to fire Fed's Lisa Cook | ReutersA court-appointed special master has recommended that women suing Johnson & Johnson over claims its talc-based products caused ovarian cancer should be allowed to present expert testimony supporting that link in upcoming trials. Retired Judge Freda Wolfson found that the plaintiffs' experts used reliable methods and cited statistically significant studies connecting genital talc use to ovarian cancer. The recommendation—part of a sprawling litigation involving over 67,500 cases—moves the lawsuits closer to federal trial, possibly later this year.Wolfson also allowed J&J's experts to present rebuttal testimony, but excluded certain plaintiff theories, such as talc migration via inhalation or links to fragrance chemicals and heavy metals. J&J criticized the ruling and plans to challenge it, arguing that the scientific evidence wasn't rigorously vetted.The litigation has dragged on for years, complicated by failed bankruptcy attempts by J&J to shield itself from liability. While the company denies its talc contains asbestos or causes cancer, prior jury verdicts have yielded multi-billion-dollar awards for plaintiffs, though some have been overturned. The case could become a major bellwether for corporate liability and the legal standard for expert scientific evidence in mass torts.Experts can testify about suspected J&J talc products' cancer link, special master recommends | ReutersLindsey Halligan, a Trump-aligned prosecutor and former personal attorney to the president, is leaving her post at the U.S. Justice Department after a federal judge sharply rebuked her for continuing to act as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia beyond her legally allowed interim term. Appointed without Senate confirmation, Halligan's authority expired after 120 days, yet she continued using the title—prompting Judge David Novak to call her conduct a “charade” and warn of potential disciplinary action.Halligan had led politically charged investigations targeting Trump adversaries like former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, though those cases were dismissed due to questions over her legitimacy. The Justice Department is appealing those rulings, but the controversy has sparked internal tension, with Novak criticizing the DOJ's recent filings as inflammatory and unprofessional.Her departure follows Senate Democrats' refusal to advance her formal nomination, citing the “blue slip” tradition that allows home-state senators to block nominees. Attorney General Pam Bondi blamed Democrats for obstructing Halligan's tenure, while Trump allies hinted at retaliation if the court names a replacement. The episode underscores ongoing friction between the judiciary, the Justice Department, and Trump's efforts to assert political control over federal prosecutions.After judge's rebuke, Trump ally Halligan to leave US Justice Department | ReutersA Massachusetts judge has ruled that Kalshi, a New York-based prediction market platform, cannot offer sports betting services in the state without a proper gambling license. The decision comes after Attorney General Andrea Campbell sued Kalshi, arguing that it was illegally offering unlicensed sports wagers to residents, including users as young as 18. Judge Christopher Barry-Smith agreed, stating that state oversight of sports betting protects public health and financial interests.Kalshi, which allows users to bet on outcomes of events like sports, politics, and the economy, claimed that its operations fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), due to its status as a registered contract market. The judge rejected that argument, ruling that federal oversight of financial instruments does not override state authority to regulate gambling.Kalshi plans to appeal the injunction, which could be finalized following a hearing. This marks the first court-ordered halt of Kalshi's operations in a state, though it faces similar legal challenges elsewhere. The case underscores growing friction between emerging event-based financial markets and traditional gambling laws.Kalshi cannot operate sports-prediction market in Massachusetts, judge rules | Reuters This is a public episode.

Send us a textIn this Christmas Eve Embercast, Chasity and Scott slow things down with a short, informal episode focused on listener feedback, community connection, and the continued growth of the fire investigation profession. Rather than a full-length case discussion, this Ember-style episode highlights messages from investigators around the world—including Australia—and explores meaningful conversations sparked by listener questions, critiques, and ideas. Topics include a listener-requested concept for a wildfire investigation roundtable series, advice for investigators preparing for the IAAI CFI certification exam, and a discussion on the difference between studying for a test and conducting real-world research. The episode also addresses a technical terminology correction—“arc” versus “arc site”—and why precision in language matters in both investigations and the courtroom. Chasity and Scott reflect on the importance of collaboration between public and private fire investigators, introduce a new 2025 segment titled “Here's the Scenario—Figure It Out,” and discuss why NFPA 921 should be viewed as a framework rather than a standalone research document. The Embercast closes with shoutouts to fellow fire investigation podcasts helping move the industry forward and a holiday message to listeners. Full episodes return January 7.

Priča smo novemu geopolitičnemu obdobju, za katero je značilna velika fragmentacija – rušijo se stari varnostni okviri, več držav prevzema regionalne vloge, rivalstvo velikih sil pa se odraža v novem tehnološkem in vojaškem tekmovanju. Svetovna raven miru se je poslabšala že 13-ič v 17 letih. V svetu divja največ konfliktov po 2. svetovni vojni. Gospodarski stroški vojn pa so dosegli skoraj 20 tisoč milijard dolarjev oziroma 11,6 odstotka svetovnega BDP-ja. Najbolj miroljubna država ostaja Islandija; morda pa je dobra novica ta, da je Slovenija na 9-tem mestu med samo 12-timi državami, katerih miroljubnost je označena z zelo visoko.

By David Stephen What is the common denominator in all love scenarios? What does it mean that an individual is so in love, but others find it strange? How do long distance relationships compare to the recent phenomenon of AI girlfriends and AI boyfriends? What also does it mean that an individual fell into a romance scam, in the digital age? AI Girlfriends, AI Boyfriends and Romance Scams? Mind and Love What is the miracle of the human mind? It is the different directions that things can go, to result in the same end. For example, assuming love is a destination in the mind, there can be several routes from which the destination is reached. This is a reason, for example, that an individual can have the experience of love off different sources, say for loved ones, career, hobbies and so forth. Also, the mind can vary, where interest in a moment is different from the next or not as intense as the last and so on. The mind is not just about the parallels, for example, to be cold when it is cold or to be hot when it is, but sometimes to have contrasts, because something else might be dominant on the mind. The human mind is quite varied. Some changes are instant, some take time, but there is possibility of change. There are some sequences [new or old] before some destinations. There are others without those, so, sometimes, changes happen without a reason. There are destinations in the mind that may not be likely, directly until something else goes to another destination. There are some destinations in some minds that make likelihoods different for people. However, the components of mind, their stations and relays are similar and are important to explain and explore, with the rise of AI girlfriends, AI boyfriends and AI companions. AI Artificial intelligence is a technology that would hold a mirror to humanity like nothing has ever done before. It would show that a lot of problems can be traced back to the human mind, not just the facilities involved. Some people are wondering why anyone would fall for an AI lover. The simple answer is that it gets to the destination of love in the mind, even if the usual route or sequence - a fellow human - was absent. Although it is known that humans have used language, actions, decoys and so forth to get love, partnerships and companionship, AI, as it is, already has access to choice spots in the human mind. So, a vulnerability is the human mind. This can also be extended to romance scams. Some people wonder, how does anyone fall for a romance scam? One vulnerability too, is the human mind. Romance Scam There is a recent [November 29, 2025] report on CNN, A stranger messaged him on Facebook. It was the start of a nightmare that cost him $280,000, stating that, "By February, they'd declared their love for each other. But what seemed like a whirlwind romance now appears like a scheme to lure Novak into a fake crypto investment. By April this year, he'd funneled $280,000 - almost his entire life savings - to an investment site she recommended. And the woman, along with her Facebook profile, vanished not long after. A tech executive with a deep computer background, Novak helped his company recover from a ransomware attack that wiped out its entire system. He finds it hard to believe now that he fell for the scam." The Human Mind One thing that might be important in the future, is what is called mind safety displays, for digital-based relationships and others. This means that for communications and actions, it is possible to check where it might be going in the mind, to ensure that the mind does not fall to unwanted destinations. Also, in a marriage, or relationship, with love, what can be done to protect against heartbreak, especially if the minds of both people are not in the same place and one is more into it than the other person? How can a display show, to ensure that it is easier to come to terms with that reality? How is it possible to measure the human mind, for mental health and other states...

The squad investigates the case of a dead woman found with hundred dollar bills shoved in her mouth. Detectives Benson and Stabler learn the woman was an undocumented worker at a woman's sex club. A community activist (Rita Moreno) tells the detectives 16 undocumented women have been attacked by the same rapist - but none will report the crimes for fear of deportation. When Serbian refugee Nina gives Olivia the cash her attacker left, they link a fingerprint to an attorney (Bradley Cooper) who handles the estate for socialite Eleanor Duvall (Angela Lansbury, in an Emmy-nominated performance). Elliot suspects her oddball son Gabriel (Alfred Molina) is the rapist, but the victim is mysteriously detained before she can make an identification.ADA Casey Novak stops Nina's deportation so she can testify against Duvall. As she prepares for trial, an assailant disguised as a flower delivery man beats Casey up in her office. Stabler accuses Duvall, but the attacker is actually Nina's religiously conservative brother, incensed that Novak has let the world know his sister is no longer a virgin. The assault on the prosecutor complicates the case, so DA Arthur Branch gives it to ADA Tracey Kibre (Bebe Neuwirth) for a trial by jury.We're talking about Special Victims Unit season six episode 20 "Night," the first part of a crossover episode with Law & Order: Trial by Jury season one episode 11 "Day."

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.comEver feel you are getting penalized at work – not getting promoted, not being listened to, not being seen as a leader – because of your accent? “Accent bias” is very real, says Peter Novak, but his prescriptions on how to overcome that bias – and elevate yourself – may surprise you. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth sits down with Peter Novak, PhD and founder of the Strictly Speaking Group. They discuss how we should think about accents – and the keys to succeeding in high stakes communications, particularly if you are a non-native English speaker. Peter challenges the usefulness of “accent reduction” training and the common advice to “not read from a script,” sharing research and cutting-edge strategies (including ones that involve AI) that have helped his clients become rising stars who embrace the power of their multilingual identities. You'll leave this episode with the hard truths on accents and amazingly practical tips that will immediately help you ascend.SHOW NOTES:Peter's interest in communication, accents and theater that drove his career and lifeInsights from Peter's two year project translating Shakespeare's 12th night into American Sign Language (ASL)Blunt question #1: Is “accent bias” real? Peter shares the research.What the heck does confidence in English sound like?The core of Peter's work: How do you speak in a way that meets the expectations of what native speakers are listening for?Blunt question #2: Should I get accent reduction training? Peter's surprising response.Brain science on what native English speakers are listening for: English as a “stress-timed language” where stressing certain words generates meaningBeyond your words and accent: understanding “prosody” or the musicality of a language to convey meaning, intention – and make your communication landPractical Tip: One of the best things you can do is to get a good microphone!“It's not an accent, it's an identity”The Canadian study that showed that language training that focused on “macro-linguistic factors” (variation, tone, pace) mattered more than training that focused on accentPractical Tip for fast speakers: Don't slow down – Instead pause within the sentence around “thought clusters”How to sound confident, curious, or spontaneous: When and how to use downward, upward and sustained intonation in your communication.How to read from a text – but still sound like you are speaking off the cuffPractical Tip: Practice your speech out loud – but record it with a voice to text app – and then ask AI to generate a voice print and recommendations.Practical Tip: Scoring and the “2 1/2 inch trick” when delivering a powerful speech through virtual meetings and online video communication.Repeating words, using sustained inflection – and not being confined by the text: Peter demonstrates how to sound spontaneous when reading from a scriptPractical tip, inspired by Ginger Rogers: How to send subtle reminders at work that you are powerful and do a lot of heavy lifting.Practical tip, inspired by Laura Huang: Turn a stereotypically perceived weakness into a strengthPractical tip: Use idioms from your native language (where Peter reveals his Argentinian-accented Spanish!)Understanding how people want their communications: Ask them, ask others, use new AI toolsPractical tip for non-native speakers: Provide sign posts and structure to ensure your message landsLightning round with Peter: Who has most shaped his thinking, How communication will evolve with AI BIO AND LINKS:Peter Novak is the founder of Strictly Speaking Group, where he has built his reputation as a globally recognized communications coach. Since 2016, his team has coached thousands—from rising stars to Fortune 50 executives—helping global companies succeed in high-stakes communications.

Jannik Sinner defends at the ATP Finals, again without losing a set, beating his chief rival #1 Carlos Alcaraz. The final was fine, even quite good at times, albeit a bit momentum-less; but hey, they can't all be classics. Novak makes some valid points about Sinner's doping case – yes, well-tread territory to be fair – and gets subtweeted by Darren Cahill for his troubles. Plus, Aryna is displeased with Nike (which itself seems indifferent to tennis), and we take a quick tangent into health care and politics.  1:55 Jannik repeats at the ATP Finals  7:05 The Big 3 broke tennis analysis 11:50 Semis and group stage: every era needs a de Minaur  17:45 The ATP fits and haircuts + the Nike snowsuit 21:50 Novak on Sinner's doping case and Darren's subtweet 32:05 Aryna is unhappy with Nike, and Nike doesn't seem to care 38:30 Not a great week for churches!

“You can't be afraid to jump.” — Clay Novak "Let's get left of the boom. We should be doing the same thing for veteran suicide." This Veterans Day, join Reena Friedman Watts and her dad, Wayne, as they sit down with Lt. Col. Clay Novak (Ret.), combat veteran, author of the new book Rebellis, and co-host of The Elsa Kurt Show.

Julia Novak, the CEO and Executive Director of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), rejoined the podcast to discuss her new role at ICMA. She shared how the organization is adapting after reduced federal grants for international work. She discussed how she has engaged with members and how the Board is revamping the strategic plan. She talked about why the history of public administration is important to the profession and how the role of a Manager has evolved. She also reflected on local government trends from the last 10 years. This episode was recorded from the 2025 ICMA Conference in Tampa, FL. Host: Ben Kittelson

The other day I found myself walking through a parking garage stairwell in Iowa City, and I realized they were using the same scent design as the local mall in Bratislava where we used to live. Half-shocked, half-amused, I climbed the cement stairs as I remembered riding the escalator through the same subtle scent cloud two years ago. The memory was visceral. Though we don't always think about it, our sensory experiences have a strong impact on how we feel and how we work. I do my best work in a situation where I feel comfortable. In fact, I generally prefer not to work at home because step one, for me, to working at home is often to clean the entire house, put music on, light a candle, pick flowers, make tea, etc. and so I spent an hour prepping to work before I do anything. I bet you've already put considerable time and effort into making your classroom a space where you feel comfortable and where students feel welcome. Today isn't about changing any of that; it's just about finding small places where you might be able to tune your sensory dashboard in class to make it work even better for you and your kiddos. By thinking specifically about the five senses - just like we have students do in their writing - you can find easy wins to make the workspace more welcoming, energizing, and comfortable for everyone inside.

This week on Office Ladies 6.0 the ladies are talking all things food on “The Office”. They also celebrate the release of Josh Snyder and Angela's cookbook “You Can Make This!” Josh comes on the pod and talks about what it's been like to write a cookbook with Angela and how he often listens to “Office Ladies” while cooking. Afterwards Jenna and Angela talk about memorable food eaten in episodes of “The Office” and the ladies reach out to Rainn Wilson, Creed Bratton and B.J. Novak about “Office” food memories. Then Jenna and Angela interview Sergio Giacoman who was a caterer on the set of “The Office” and now caters for “The Paper”!
