Learn more at noviconnect.com As we look ahead to the next holiday season, will your marketing strategy even matter if an AI agent is making the final recommendation for the consumer? Agility requires more than just the latest AI tools. It sometimes requires fundamentally re-engineering how your brand earns visibility and trust in an algorithm-driven world. It demands a shift from winning clicks on a search page to becoming the definitive answer for an AI agent.

This profound episode is not a typical "alien encounter" story. It may be the first. It is a meticulous, psychological deep dive into the lifelong journey of Nancy Tremaine—from a traumatized 12-year-old silenced in 1961 to the self-described "galactic ambassador" she is today. The narrative, drawn from her memoir and personal recordings, reveals a radical transformation forged in the crucible of institutional betrayal and unimaginable personal trauma.The core mission of the analysis is to understand the alchemy of trauma: how a devastating, isolating childhood event becomes the catalyst for a grand, purposeful life mission. It begins with Nancy's 1961 sighting in Novi, Michigan—a massive, silent craft that immobilized a police car with a beam of light and delivered a telepathic "We see you." The real trauma was cemented not by the craft, but by the enforced silence that followed. Her father, a veteran with apparent insider knowledge, validated her reality while demanding absolute secrecy—a psychological double bind that created what she calls "the root of the trauma."This personal silencing was reinforced by an immediate, coordinated military operation. The retired police chief, Lee Begole, confirmed on tape that the military's sole objective was "to silence everyone so as not to create a panic," arriving with a bias to disbelieve despite the overwhelming evidence. This institutional gaslighting, compounded by missing time and suppressed memories, led to 50 years of debilitating PTSD—a life Nancy describes as being "nothing more than scar tissue."Her healing began only in 2011 with validation, first from a UFO investigator and then through regression therapy. This process unlocked memories of non-human intelligences, hybrid offspring, and a symbiotic relationship with a Draconian reptilian being she calls "Mister." Crucially, their connection is almost entirely non-physical—a communion of consciousness and energy. The symbiosis is transactional: they study intense human emotions through her for a stated goal of genetic evolution, and in return, she receives knowledge, protection, and a cosmic purpose.The episode confronts the most difficult integrations, including severe medical trauma. After pineal gland manipulation by the entities, Nancy developed Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD), a legitimate and agonizing condition. When she sought emergency care, the medical institution inflicted a second, profound betrayal: staff mocked her and permanently documented her crisis as a "sex marathon" in her records. This betrayal mirrored the 1961 silencing, forcing her to seek meaning beyond the physical plane.Her transformation from victim to ambassador is complete when she fully accepts her mission: not to convince, but to inform. The philosophical messages she channels are stark and challenging: "We are you"; "Empathy holds back technology. It is the vehicle that is sacrificed"; and "We are here to avert war." She was shown apocalyptic visions to internalize the stakes—humanity must shed its low-frequency emotions of hate and rage to evolve, or risk being "left behind."Nancy Tremaine's story is ultimately about the relentless pursuit of personal truth against a consensus reality designed to reject it. It forces a unsettling question: Is our physical and emotional suffering—the struggles of the "vehicle"—merely functional data on the road to becoming something more? Her journey from scar tissue to a being of "light knowledge energy" suggests that the answer, for her, is a definitive yes. The destination, as the entities told her, is simply home.Nancy Tremaine's Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B076MKFFT4/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=9a137337-92f1-4454-89c8-9058abb348ba&ref_=ap_rdrGrant Cameron Websitepresidentialufo.org

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Nick Scaccio, North America Chief Development Officer Paris Baguette, NY metro. Welcome Nick, for the Michigan business community, tell us about yourself and the company? Metro-Detroit is a major focus for Paris Baguette's U.S. expansion. What market dynamics—demographics, consumer behavior, or business climate—made this region a priority for growth? With 11 additional locations in development, how do you balance rapid expansion with brand consistency, operational excellence, and franchise partner success? Paris Baguette operates at the intersection of fast-casual, bakery, and café dining. How does that positioning help you compete in both dense urban markets and high-demand suburban communities?

Kako se iz Beograda 90-ih stiže do pozicije gde dizajniraš za Frog, IDEO i praviš revoluciju u Logitechu? U 348. epizodi Pojačala nastavljamo razgovor sa Brankom Lukićem, prateći njegov put od beogradske dizajn scene ranih devedesetih, rada u oskudici i velikih lokalnih projekata, do odluke da „gađa” svetske studije i probije se na Zapad. Branko detaljno opisuje kako je, upornošću i pametno osmišljenim portfoliom, stigao do Frog Design-a, a potom i do Silicijumske doline, uz sve šokove adaptacije: jezik, komunikaciju, kulturu rada, timsku dinamiku i (ne)vidljive predrasude. Razgovor je pun konkretnih anegdota iz procesa dizajna, od improvizovanih prototipova do rada na kompleksnim tehnološkim projektima i ranih vizija uređaja i iskustava „budućnosti”. Ton je istovremeno energičan i refleksivan: razgovor se vodi o ambiciji, disciplini i cenu koju nosi odlazak, ali i o tome kako se gradi karijera u okruženju gde se sve menja iz dana u dan. O čemu smo pričali: - Najava - Početak razgovora - Novi brendovi i snalaženje u oskudici - San o americi i proboj na svetsku scenu - Rad u Silicijumskoj dolini - Rad u velikim studijima Frog i Ideo - Ključni projekti i početak Nonobject ideje - Ideo i design thinking - Nonobject - Domaći projekti sa svetskim odjekom - Revolucija u Logitechu i UE Boom - AI i budućnost dizajna Podržite nas na BuyMeACoffee: https://bit.ly/3uSBmoa Pročitajte transkript ove epizode: https://bit.ly/3MF0pc7 Posetite naš sajt i prijavite se na našu mailing listu: http://bit.ly/2LUKSBG Prijavite se na naš YouTube kanal: http://bit.ly/2Rgnu7o Pratite Pojačalo na društvenim mrežama: FB: https://www.facebook.com/PojacaloRS/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/pojacalo.rs/ X: https://x.com/PojacaloRS LN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pojacalo TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pojacalo.rs

Vlada, Grafa i Viktor su se vratili!

Novi načelnik Generalštaba Slovenske vojske je brigadir Boštjan Močnik, dozdajšnji poveljnik njenih sil. Vlada ga je potrdila po predlogu obrambnega ministra Boruta Sajovica, ki je ob tem dejal, da je Močnik izjemen poznavalec obrambnega področja. Druge teme: - Vlada je potrdila predlog o prestrukturiranju savinjsko-šaleške regije. Za ta namen bo iz različnih virov zagotovljenih več kot 282 milijonov evrov. Podrobnosti bodo še dorekli, pravi župan Šoštanja Boris Goličnik in dodaja, da prehajajo na obnovljive vire, za kakšne projekte gre, pa je po njegovih besedah prezgodaj govoriti. - KPK poziva k zakonski ureditvi tako imenovanih vrtljivih vrat, ko se zaposleni iz javnega sektorja nato zaposlijo v zasebnem ali državnem podjetju. Izvršna direktorica Združenja nadzornikov Irena Prijović meni, da je politični mandat prav dokončati, ne pa s pozicije moči iskati nove funkcije ali boljše profesionalne priložnosti. - Združene države Amerike naj bi od Ukrajine prejele pripombe na mirovni dogovor. O njem bodo danes govorili voditelji koalicije voljnih. Generalni sekretar Nata Mark Rutte je v Berlinu pozval k enotnosti Evrope. Kot je dejal, deljenje bremen ni le slogan, temveč konkretna zaveza in znamenje, da zveza NATO ostaja močna, enotna in sposobna braniti svoje ozemlje.

U 217. epizodi Njuz Podkasta analiziramo najnovije političke i društvene apsurde u Srbiji. Glavna tema je saobraćajni kolaps u Beogradu, misteriozna sudbina Starog savskog mosta i da li su novi kružni tokovi rešenje ili propast. Komentarišemo i medijski nastup Aleksandra Vučića kod Goce Uzelac gde je predsednik govorio o svojoj "lepoti i stabilnosti". Posebnu pažnju posvećujemo bizarnom videu uredništva Informera i Dragana J. Vučićevića koji podseća na loš akcioni film.

Špekulira se da je međuzvjezdani komet 3I/ATLAS zvanzemaljska letjelica. No, znanstvenici su opovrgnuli te tvrdnje. Nova promatranja NASA-e i južnoafričkog teleskopa MeerKAT-a potvrđuju da se radi o prirodnom kometu bogatom hlapljivim tvarima koji bilježi ispuštanje plinova, emisije hidroksilnih radijskih stanica i očekivane orbitalne promjene. Daleko od izvanzemaljskog inženjerstva, 3I/ATLAS nudi rijedak uvid u daleku prošlost, vjerojatno potječući iz zvjezdanog sustava koji je milijarde godina stariji od našeg.

Danes je zadnji dan, ko lahko stanovalci domov za starejše oddajo soglasje za prevedbo v nov sistem dolgotrajne oskrbe. S ponedeljkom namreč začenja veljati pravica do dolgotrajne oskrbe v domovih. Domovi za starejše soglasja oddajajo na vstopno točko na Center za socialno delo Ljubljana, kjer bodo izvedli prevedbo za vseh skoraj 20 tisoč stanovalcev domov. Natančnih podatkov, koliko so jih prejeli, še nimajo, saj soglasja prihajajo ves čas. Menijo pa, da jih je več kot 17 tisoč in da se bo večina odločila za prevedbo v nov sistem. V tega bodo vstopili, ko bodo v domu za starejše podpisali še osebni načrt. Nekaj drugih poudarkov oddaje: - Novi vladni ukrepi zaostrujejo nadzor nad bolniškimi odsotnostmi, morali pa bi se ukvarjati z razlogi zanje, menij sindikati - Premier Golob in nemški kancler Merz na srečanju v Nemčiji za pravičen mir v Ukrajini. - V povezavi s smrtonosnim požarom, ki je zajel sedem stolpnic v Hongkongu, prijeli več ljudi. - Nagrado Maruše Krese za najboljše kratke zgodbe leta na knjižnem sejmu prejela Ana Svetel.

Pod drobnogled smo vzeli Bugonijo, znanstvenofantastični film, poln zanimivih obratov, v katerem režiser Yorgos Lanthimos igralko Emmo Stone postavi v središče teorije zarote. Ida, ki je pela tako grdo, da so še mrtvi vstali od mrtvih in zapeli z njo pa je tankočutni celovečerni prvenec slovenske režiserke Ester Ivakič. Poleg tega je pred vrati 22. izdaja festivala Animateka, na kateri bomo med drugimi videli kratkometražno delo Dekle, ki se ni balo medvedov – režirala ga je Lea Vučko, ki v oddaji govori o ustvarjanju filma.

Patnáct let stojí v čele Maďarska premiér Viktor Orbán a jeho strana Fidesz hladce vyhrává všechny parlamentní volby. Příští rok v dubnu by se to ale mohlo změnit, v předvolebních průzkumech totiž stabilně vede opoziční Tisza. „Jsme si velmi jisti, že vedoucí pozici udržíme. Lidé stále více touží po změně ve společnosti, v ekonomice, v životě celé země. A navzdory veškerému útlaku, který vláda vyvíjí, se už lidé nebojí,“ říká místopředseda opoziční strany Zoltán Tarr.Všechny díly podcastu Interview Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Brian is joined by Jeremiah Jennings from The Growing Green Podcast.  Recorded live in Michigan right before Lawntrepreneur Academy Live, this crossover episode offers an unfiltered, practical conversation on running a real business, even when the weather, the work, and the numbers don't go your way. They talk about everything from rain day productivity and crew training to labor costs, leadership development, and snow prep, mixing humor with hard-earned lessons. Jeremiah shares how he uses rain days for deep team meetings and SOP creation, while Brian explains why he's investing in training spaces, VAs, and systems that create long-term results. The two also touch on the behind-the-scenes realities of hosting events like LAL, investing heavily in your company before profits appear, and balancing growth with sanity. The conversation wraps with lighthearted moments from Thanksgiving food partitions to Christmas light installs, showing the friendship and mutual respect between two leaders pushing each other to the next level. Whether you're prepping for LAL or trying to get through your own version of "rain days," this episode reminds you that success comes from discipline, preparation, and a willingness to keep showing up.
