Los Angeles is starting the week with the prospect of strengthening winds and increasing fire danger. Twenty-four people have died, 62 square miles have burned, and 12,000 structures are expected to be damaged or destroyed. We’ll hear the latest. Plus, immigration is likely to be a top priority for the incoming Trump administration, and and a tax form is likely to end up in a lot more people’s mailboxes this year.
Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of "Notorious Mass Effect" by Analytic Dreamz, we delve deep into the catastrophic wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles in early 2025. Key fires examined include the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, Sunset Fire, Kenneth Fire, and Lidia Fire, leading to at least 16 fatalities. More than 179,000 residents were ordered to evacuate, with an additional 166,000 under evacuation warnings. The fires have destroyed or damaged over 13,400 structures, with the Palisades Fire alone scorching over 22,000 acres and impacting celebrity neighborhoods in Pacific Palisades. The Eaton Fire in Altadena has been equally devastating, claiming 11 lives and burning over 14,100 acres with no containment. We explore how Santa Ana winds reaching speeds of up to 100 mph, coupled with severe drought conditions, have fueled these blazes. Despite the deployment of over 7,500 firefighters, challenges like dry hydrants and limited aerial support due to high winds have complicated the response. The economic toll is staggering, with losses estimated at $50 billion, and the insurance landscape is in turmoil, with major insurers pulling out and the FAIR Plan capping coverage at $3M per household. Analytic Dreamz also covers the governmental response, including President Biden's deployment of federal resources and Governor Newsom's mobilization of the National Guard. This segment presents a comprehensive overview of the fires' impact, the ongoing challenges, and the broader implications for policy, insurance, and community resilience in the face of climate change.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Its claimed that ongoing geopolitical conflicts has contributed to the rise in the number of people using solar energy in Clare. New data from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland show a 21% increase last year in solar panel installations with grant support while 948 installations were completed across the county in 2024. Gas prices have doubled since the beginning of the war in Ukraine and Ireland's heavy reliance on natural gas for electricity generation has lead to some of the highest energy bills in Europe. Group CEO with Failte Solar, James Ring, says people in Clare are mitigating the rising costs of electricity by switching to solar panels.

Why Neighbor Checks Matter: Buyers & Sellers1.1 For BuyersBuyers are often busy juggling property tours, speaking with lenders, and scrutinizing disclosures. However, neighbors hold invaluable, real-life insights about everything from local noise levels to which side of the fence is truly yours. They can also warn you about:Ongoing disputes: Did the previous owner damage a shared fence or withhold payment for a shared repair?Potential noise issues: Is there a band of drummers practicing nightly next door?Rentals vs. Owner-Occupied: In condos or townhomes, proximity is especially tight, so owners might share if multiple units are rentals versus owner-occupied. This can impact both property values and daily living.If you're browsing Active Listings in communities like Valencia, Saugus, or Canyon Country, schedule an extra 20 minutes during showings to chat with nearby residents. Their experiences—however anecdotal—often reveal exactly what you want to know before dropping thousands on appraisals and inspections.1.2 For SellersSellers benefit, too: if you have a pending dispute or chilly relationship with your neighbor, it can tarnish the impression buyers form when they knock on that neighbor's door. Worse, it can jeopardize the sale if the neighbor shares negative (even if honest) feedback about the property.Resolving tree root issues: If branches or roots extend into the neighbor's yard, consider remedying it pre-listing.Fences and boundary lines: Many Santa Clarita homes, especially in Stevenson Ranch or Newhall, share boundary fences. If those fences need work, fix them before listing.HOA disputes: Make amends or settle HOA fines so prospective buyers don't inherit unresolved friction with neighbors or the HOA board.If you're considering listing soon, check out the Seller's Guide for insights on how to handle repairs and neighbor relations before going public.Youtube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

Proactive's Tylah Tully gives an outlook for base metals in 2025. Base metals, including copper, aluminium, zinc, nickel, and lead, remain essential for modern industry, with applications in infrastructure, transportation, technology and renewable energy. However, these cyclical commodities currently face low prices due to seasonal factors, a strong US dollar and geopolitical uncertainties. Analysts anticipate a recovery driven by potential US Federal Reserve rate cuts, economic stimulus in China, and continued infrastructure and energy transition investments.

A serious addiction was sending Michelle Oberg to an early grave. But it wasn't an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Even though she was substantially overweight, Michelle just could not stop eating pizza. It may seem puzzling to mention pizza in the same breath as cocaine or whiskey, but for Michelle Oberg the addiction had it hooks in as deep as any that would traditionally send a person to rehab. The result of her out of control eating was a heinously inflamed body that was struggling to function. Her triglycerides and c-peptide levels were incomprehensibly high. Meanwhile, migraine headaches had become all too common along with painful gout flareups. At the same time her weight was spiraling out of control. Despite growing sicker and heavier every day she still couldn't say no to pizza. Then she finally hit rock bottom and began to climb out of a dark hole and began breaking the chains of addiction and shedding the pounds that had been holding her back. In an extraordinary story of what is possible, Michelle shares her journey of resilience with fellow food addict Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. She found strength and success after she began to eat a plant-based diet. And today she is thriving. Her goal is to inspire others struggling with demons to dig deep and make the change as well. Key points discussed include: Personal journey: Michelle recounts her history with food addiction and how it intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. She discusses her initial struggles with giving up pizza and the support she found in an online group for food addiction. Transition to a vegan diet: As she worked on her food addiction, Michelle began to explore veganism and whole food plant-based diets. She describes how she replaced pizza with healthier options like chickpea curry and salads. Compassion and self-love: Michelle reflects on how she finds it easier to have compassion for others than for herself, and how this realization has been part of her healing journey. Motivations: Michelle shares her family history of health issues, including heart disease and Alzheimer's, which motivates her to continue making healthier choices. She wants to break the cycle of diseases in her family. Ongoing journey: Michelle acknowledges that she still has about 30 pounds to lose and emphasizes the importance of making informed dietary choices. She discusses her favorite foods and healthy habits that she has adopted, such as preparing a specific salad dressing regularly. — — SHOW LINKS — — Michelle Oberg IG: https://www.instagram.com/pizza_addict_to_vegan Website: https://pizzaaddicttovegan.blog — — EVENTS — — Dr. Bulsiewicz and Chuck in Miami Where: Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash Date: March 7, 2025 https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, host Seth Tandett is joined by Rich Szecsy and Dr. Jon Belkowitz to discuss the recently released ACI 323 code on low carbon concrete. The trio dig into the significance of the code, the confusion surrounding its implementation, and the challenges it poses for ready-mix producers and construction practices. The hosts explore the implications of the new code on concrete pumping, the role of authorities in code adoption, and the need for future updates to adapt to evolving industry standards. The episode concludes with reflections on the potential impact of the code and the importance of ongoing dialogue in the concrete industry. Takeaways ACI 323 represents a significant shift in concrete standards. The code's implementation may create confusion for industry professionals. Ready-mix producers face challenges in meeting new low carbon requirements. There is a need for clarity on the authority of jurisdiction in code adoption. Frequent updates to the code will be necessary as more data becomes available. The relationship between contractors and ready-mix suppliers is crucial for compliance. Concrete pumping practices may be adversely affected by the new standards. Policymakers will likely default to adopting ACI 323 without fully understanding its implications. Ongoing discussions are essential to navigate the complexities of low carbon concrete.

Philippians 3:12-15
This Day in Legal History: Charles I Placed on TrialOn January 6, 1649, the English Parliament took a momentous step by voting to place King Charles I on trial for high treason. This decision came in the wake of the English Civil War, a prolonged conflict between Royalists, loyal to the king, and Parliamentarians seeking to limit monarchical power. Leading up to the trial, the New Model Army, under Oliver Cromwell, orchestrated "Pride's Purge," expelling Members of Parliament likely to oppose the trial. The remaining assembly, known as the Rump Parliament, convened and authorized the creation of the High Court of Justice, an unprecedented legal body tasked with trying a sitting monarch.The trial marked a dramatic shift in the balance of power, challenging the divine right of kings—a cornerstone of monarchical rule. Charles I was accused of subverting the laws of England and waging war against his own people, charges that he denied, arguing that no court held legitimate authority to judge a king. Despite his defense, the court convicted Charles on January 27, 1649, sentencing him to death. His execution on January 30 sent shockwaves throughout Europe, signaling the emergence of parliamentary sovereignty and temporarily abolishing the monarchy in favor of the Commonwealth under Cromwell.This legal milestone not only altered the trajectory of English governance but also set a precedent for holding leaders accountable to the rule of law. The Supreme Court is expected to play a critical role in assessing the legality of anticipated Trump administration policies, particularly in immigration and administrative law. Immigration policies, such as ending birthright citizenship and mass deportations, are likely to be challenged in court, with outcomes depending on their framing, especially if tied to national security concerns, which the Court tends to view more favorably than economic justifications. The Court's recent decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which limited agency power by ending Chevron deference, may have far-reaching implications for both the Biden and Trump administrations. While reducing agencies' regulatory authority aligns with Trump's deregulatory goals, it also empowers blue states and civil rights groups to challenge his policies under stricter judicial scrutiny.Challenges to agency head tenure protections and interpretations of outdated laws could also come before the Court. Trump's potential push to dismantle longstanding precedents like Humphrey's Executor v. United States could make federal agencies more directly accountable to the presidency, further politicizing their functions. Critics note that these shifts in judicial doctrine cut both ways, curbing regulatory power broadly regardless of the administration in power. This duality underscores a tension between conservative goals of limiting administrative overreach and the desire to expedite executive policy-making.Trump Likely to Test Supreme Court on Agency Powers, ImmigrationPresident Joe Biden has permanently barred offshore oil and gas drilling across over 625 million acres of US coastal waters, including the East and West Coasts, parts of the Gulf of Mexico, and sections of the Northern Bering Sea. Citing environmental risks and minimal energy gains, Biden stated the move balances conservation and energy security, ensuring that protecting coastlines and maintaining low energy prices are not mutually exclusive. The decision does not affect existing offshore leases or ongoing drilling in Alaska's Cook Inlet and the central and western Gulf of Mexico, which account for a significant portion of US energy production.Biden's action builds on temporary protections enacted by former President Trump for Florida's Gulf Coast and southeastern waters but makes them indefinite. While praised by environmental advocates and coastal communities, the oil industry criticized the move, arguing that it restricts domestic energy potential and undermines national security. Some politicians from both parties have supported these protections, emphasizing the risks demonstrated by disasters like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill.Although Biden's decision relies on a federal law provision that may be difficult to reverse, legal challenges could arise if a future administration attempts to undo the protections. The debate underscores tensions between environmental stewardship and energy independence.Biden Bars Offshore Oil Drilling in US Atlantic and PacificBiden to ban offshore oil, gas drilling in vast areas ahead of Trump term | ReutersThe U.S. Department of Justice has urged the Supreme Court to deny President-elect Donald Trump's request to delay a law requiring TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell its U.S. assets by January 19 or face a nationwide ban. Trump argued for more time after his inauguration to seek a political resolution, while the DOJ countered that ByteDance has not demonstrated it is likely to succeed on the merits of its case. The government emphasized the national security risks of TikTok's data collection on 170 million American users, framing it as a tool for potential espionage.TikTok, however, has requested the Court block the law on First Amendment grounds, claiming it is being unfairly targeted for its content rather than its data practices, especially given Congress's lack of action against other Chinese-owned apps like Shein and Temu. If the law takes effect, new downloads of TikTok will be prohibited, and existing services will degrade over time as companies are barred from providing support. The Biden administration could extend the compliance deadline by 90 days if ByteDance shows significant progress toward divestment. This marks a shift in Trump's stance from 2020, when he sought to ban TikTok over similar concerns. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on January 10.Justice Dept. urges Supreme Court to reject Trump request to delay TikTok ban law | ReutersDisney, Fox, and Warner Bros Discovery are appealing a court ruling that blocked the launch of their joint streaming service, Venu Sports, arguing it unfairly restricts competition and consumer choice. The district court previously halted Venu's debut after rival FuboTV sued, claiming the service violated antitrust laws by bundling sports content in a way that would harm competition and raise prices. The district court sided with Fubo, finding that the bundling practices could foreclose other sports-focused services and granted an injunction against Venu's launch.The media companies argue that the ruling denies consumers a lower-cost streaming option aimed at price-sensitive sports fans and protects Fubo from competition. They assert that Venu would increase consumer choice and lower prices. However, the Justice Department and several states have supported the injunction, stating that Venu's creation would consolidate market power among the companies—who control over half of U.S. sports rights—and hinder the emergence of competing sports-only platforms like Fubo.At the heart of the dispute is whether the bundling practices by Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros unfairly disadvantage distributors by tying access to desirable sports content with less popular programming. The appeals court will now decide if the injunction stands.Disney, Fox and Warner Bros to ask court to lift ban on launch of Venu Sports service | Reuters This is a public episode.

As of the latest updates, Tucker Carlson has been at the center of several significant developments, particularly surrounding his departure from Fox News and his ongoing legal battles with the network.Tucker Carlson has been actively pursuing a return to television, with his lawyers negotiating with Fox News to set the terms for his potential return before his contract expires in January 2025. However, this has been complicated by his allegations of fraud and contract breach against Fox. Carlson's legal team has accused Fox executives of deception, breach of trust, and violating agreements, including the disclosure of his private communications and actions related to the Dominion Voting Systems settlement. Fox News has vehemently denied these claims, and the situation remains contentious, with the threat of legal action looming.In addition to these legal battles, Carlson has been exploring alternative media ventures. He has announced plans to bring his show to Twitter, a move that could potentially breach his existing contract with Fox. Despite Fox's reluctance to release him, Carlson has received lucrative offers from other right-leaning platforms and has been in discussions with Elon Musk about potential collaborations.There have been no new statements or interviews from Tucker Carlson in the very recent past, but his previous public appearances and comments continue to generate significant discussion and debate. His influence on media and politics remains a topic of intense scrutiny, with many analyzing his impact on public discourse and the broader media landscape.Carlson's interactions with other public figures, such as his recent interview with Donald Trump, highlight his continued relevance in political discussions. However, these interactions often come with controversy, as seen in the intense battle for swing state voters during the 2024 election cycle.Overall, Tucker Carlson's current activities are marked by legal disputes, new media ventures, and ongoing debates about his influence on media and politics.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

In this episode of Life Matters, Brian explores what's ahead in 2025 and how the election victory of November is merely the beginning. Brian also explained in detail the nature of his recent illness. His congestive heart failure had him hospitalized for three months - a month and a half in intensive care and a month and a half in cardio recovery care. He is now recovering at home. Brian explains that the year ahead includes many challenges, including the very strong push for killing the medically dependent. Eleven jurisdictions across the United States have currently authorized physician assisted killing. These laws are aimed at the emotionally vulnerable as well as the physically challenged and/or financially challenged. Brian admits that he was emotionally vulnerable, and depressed during his hospitalization and brush with death. This made him a candidate for physician assisted suicide in California under current California law. Because the law is no longer an advocate, you must be willing to advocate for vulnerable family and friends. Brian also explained that there is a great misunderstanding of the legal battles ahead for the ProLife cause. As his book, Evil Twins: Roe and Doe, how the Supreme Court Unleashed Medical Killing, makes clear, the real attack on society and culture in Roe was that it instructed doctors to be killers. This cultural and ethical departure in Roe is explicit and even feminist leaders like Ruth Bader Ginsburg concurred: “Roe is not woman centered. It is physician centered.” These decisions instruct doctors to do whatever they see fit and in particular to even kill at their own discretion. Many misunderstand what the Dobbs Decision of 2022 actually did to abortion law. It did not overturn Roe, it merely adjusted aspects of Roe v. Wade. In particular, the federalized compulsion to accept all abortions was removed and it was presented as a states' rights issue. It's a great mistake to present or even view the Right To Life cause as a states' rights issue. This does not address the real ethical, moral and cultural decay that was brought to us by Roe v. Wade. The right to life cause needs to be prepared to speak up for all vulnerable human beings, regardless of their age, and to be on guard regarding the efforts to promote the killing of depressed, vulnerable, and medically dependent persons. In addition, the real issue of protecting vulnerable human lives, and not merely the emotional attraction of helping babies and mothers needs to be understood. Brian also announced that many of his writings will now be readily available online at Substack. See @brianjohnston on Substack.
