As kids head back to school, The Other Side of Midnight takes a hard look at how America's schools are educating children—and whether the system has kept up with the modern world.The discussion tackles smartphones in schools, arguing that instead of banning technology, educators should consider using the devices as part of the curriculum.The conversation also questions the traditional seven-hour school day, the history behind the current school schedule, and whether younger children would benefit from going home for lunch.Most importantly, the episode examines what parents are being told about their children's education.Are kids actually learning to read and write—or are schools using definitions that obscure what students can really do?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-other-side-of-midnight-with-walter-sterling--7177415/support.
What really motivates us? And why can some environments bring out the best in us while others slowly drain our energy? In this episode, Bart speaks with Stephen de Groot about his remarkable career journey, from working with prisoners to advising physicians, leaders, and other high performers, and what those experiences have taught him about human motivation. Stephen discusses the difference between motivation and inspiration, and why so few of us truly understand what drives and energizes us. He introduces his “CORE 4”: needs, values, goals, and strengths, and explains how paying attention to the moments when we feel most alive and fulfilled can reveal what matters most to us. With that understanding, we can intentionally create more of those conditions in our work and lives or recognize when an environment is no longer right for us. The conversation then turns to leadership. Stephen shares how leaders can uncover what motivates the people they lead, create the conditions for them to perform at their best, and recognize why the same approach will not inspire everyone. Filled with practical insights and stories from Stephen's own journey, this episode offers a fresh perspective on human motivation, meaningful work and what it really takes to inspire ourselves and others.

Christians seem odd. Our odd views are counter culture. However, let us respond to our critics in a way that counters their own cultural narrative about Christianity. What if the very thing you find concerning ends up offering you far more hope than you ever dared dream? How can answers to the challenge of critics counter the cultural narrative about us, and offer hope to all?The sermon today is titled "You Believe In An Outdated Magic Book," dealing with the claim that the Bible is irrelevant and unhelpful. This sermon is the fifth installment in our series "Counter/Culture." The Scripture reading is from 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on September 13, 2026. All lessons fit under 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve.

It claims up to 401 miles WLTP and a best-ever Audi efficiency of 4.85 miles/kWh on the 188-hp efficiency-package version, with rear-wheel drive only, 52/61 kWh LFP or 84 kWh NMC batteries charging at 183 kW (10–80% in about 29 minutes), a Q4 e-tron wheelbase for extra interior space, and standard bidirectional charging.ICCT SAYS ELECTRIC CARS COST ONE THIRD LESSAn ICCT report published on September 6 found electric cars cost a third less to run in Europe in 2025 than petrol or diesel equivalents, or 28% less for drivers relying on public charging, with combustion energy costs rising 12–36% at the start of 2026 during the US-Iran Hormuz oil crisis while BEV energy costs held steady. The ICCT also found price parity with petrol cars in Germany's three largest segments based on data covering 100,000 vehicles, and lead author Marie Rajon Bernard expects European BEV adoption to scale up provided current policies survive growing political pressure to reverse them.YOUNG DRIVERS SAY PETROL CARS ARE LIKE USING A LANDLINE TELEPHONEResearch commissioned by E.ON Next among 1,500 drivers found more than half of those aged 17 to 20 want their next car to be electric, against a UK BEV new-car share of 26% from January to August, with cost the main draw: 56% think EVs save money, 20% cite day-to-day affordability, 19% home charging and 18% avoiding forecourts. Petrol is increasingly seen as obsolete, with 23% calling petrol ownership as outdated as a landline telephone, 21% unable to imagine owning one, 63% expecting petrol and diesel cars to disappear in their lifetime and 53% believing they are the last generation to routinely drive them.EUROPE'S EV FLEET HOLDS 600 GWH OF BATTERIESBruegel estimates Europe's EV fleet holds around 600 GWh of battery capacity, ten times the continent's grid-connected storage and theoretically enough to power the European grid for almost two hours, though that depends on vehicle-to-grid technology and smart integration still under development. Stationary storage is growing separately, with SolarPower Europe reporting cumulative European capacity passing 100 GWh by the end of 2025 after 36 GWh was added during the year, 48% more than in 2024, and calling for a tenfold increase by 2030.LI AUTO PLANS EUROPEAN I6 DEBUTLi Auto will unveil its i6 electric SUV in Europe at the Paris motor show in October, with founder and CEO Xiang Li saying European sales begin in the fourth quarter and right-hand-drive sales start by year-end, making a UK launch likely though it has not been confirmed. Britain matters as an export market because it does not apply the EU's additional tariffs on Chinese cars, and the 4950mm i6 will compete with the BMW iX3, Mercedes GLC and Volvo EX60.AVILOO EXTENDS BATTERY WARRANTY TO 24 EUROPEAN COUNTRIESAVILOO added 14 markets to its Battery Warranty on September 7, 2026, including Spain, Italy, Poland and Greece, taking coverage to 24 countries in response to used-EV buyer confidence lagging market growth and to manufacturer battery-health figures being neither independently verified nor standardised. The one-year warranty, separate from AVILOO's battery certificate and managed by dealers, fleets and remarketing platforms through the AVILOO Connect dashboard, sets an individual State of Health threshold per vehicle from proprietary diagnostics data that the battery must still meet at 20,000 kilometres.OSPREY GO STARTS CHARGING ON CONNECTIONOsprey has launched Osprey Go, an Autocharge-based function that starts a charging session as soon as a driver plugs in, requiring no app or payment card at the charger after a one-time setup in the Osprey app, and automatically applying the best available price for that location and time. Users can view receipts, live prices, charger availability and offers, and Osprey says the Autocharge choice maximises vehicle and driver compatibility and makes it the country's largest network offering the technology.RUSSIA EV SALES MORE THAN DOUBLE IN SUMMERAutostat reports Russian sales of new electric and plug-in hybrid passenger cars reached 26,543 units from June to August 2026, more than double the 12,187 sold a year earlier, as Ukrainian strikes on major refineries forced some to suspend operations and cut gasoline production to about 70% of domestic consumption by the end of August. Drivers facing hours-long fuel searches turned to EVs or gas conversions, though Autostat said sales were capped by supply because manufacturers and importers were unprepared, and the vehicles sold were mainly Chinese-made.PORT AUTHORITY LAUNCHES $45M ELECTRIC TRUCK PROGRAMMEThe Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has launched a $45m programme for zero-emission drayage trucks and terminal tractors at the Port of New York and New Jersey, the busiest seaport on the US East Coast, combining vehicle purchase support with charging investment near its marine terminals. CALSTART will design and administer the Clean Truck Incentive Program and the Green Drayage Accelerator, with up to $39m in point-of-sale vouchers covering vehicles and charging infrastructure at hubs within a 10-mile radius of the Port Authority's marine terminals.TREK LAUNCHES ALLANT+ FS E-BIKE IN EUROPETrek has launched the 2027 Allant+ FS in Europe, a full-suspension SUV-style e-bike aimed at Specialized's Turbo Vado 3X, using the same Bosch Performance Line CX mid-drive with 250 W nominal and 750 W peak output, 120 Nm of torque and assistance cutting out at 25 km/h. A Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery gives a claimed 180 km (112 miles) per charge, with the R11 priced at €5,999 and the R10 at €4,999.

Your plumbing SEO isn't broken, it's outdated. The tactics that put you on page one five years ago are the same ones AI search now ignores completely. ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, and Gemini don't rank pages the way Google's blue links did. They pull answers. And if your site isn't built to be pulled from, you're invisible to every homeowner who asks an AI "who's the best plumber near me."In this episode, Nolen breaks down exactly what's changed, why most plumbing websites are structured for a search engine that no longer exists, and what AI systems actually look for when they decide which plumber to name.What we cover:Why traditional keyword-stuffed service pages get skipped by AI searchWhat AI actually reads on your site — and what it ignoresHow Google Business Profile and citations feed AI answersThe content structure that gets your company named, not just indexedWhy reviews matter differently now than they did for classic local SEOThe one thing most plumbing companies are still paying an agency to do that no longer moves the needleIf you're a plumbing contractor spending money on SEO every month and can't tell whether it's still working, this one's for you.Book a FREE strategy session with Nolen: ➡️ https://info.plumbingwebmasters.com/Or call us today: (877) 388-9884Learn more: ➡️ https://www.plumbingwebmasters.com/????

Hour 2: LSU made Clemson and Dabo Swinney look outdated / The impact of the NBA's punishment for Steve Ballmer and the Clippers / Will Roger Goodell become a billionaire?
In the age of AI, the traditional concept of hustle and brute force work is becoming outdated. Jess Dewell talks with Duncan Brand, Author of Mind the Gap and Effectiveness Advisor, about why it is BOLD to build systems-led execution and make themselves obsolete in day-to-day operations. Uncover the secret weapon top leaders use to break out of overwhelm, refocus priorities, and drive lasting achievement — without burning out. Your calendar is your biggest tool. We all have the same amount of time in a day. Planning your week and maintaining a cadence maximize impact. So, if you choose to muster the courage to step back from daily operations, you can further adjust where you add the most value. The impact of communication style on asking "why" in organizations. The long-term importance of a people-centric approach in adopting AI. Adapting to work-life integration in a technology-driven world. Duncan shares insights on the Golden Pause for big decisions, building your week around top priorities, and the three ways you will get in your own way and what to do about it. The discussion also covers prioritising weekly goals and personal passions for effectiveness; the value and practice of intentional listening; the significance of inner core values and self-awareness in leadership; and common leadership identity traps that affect delegation and execution. In the era of AI, it is BOLD for a CEO to step back and trust a systems-led execution, making themselves obsolete in the day-to-day operations. Tune in to learn how to accelerate achievement towards your 36-month initiatives by leveraging the secret weapon of top leaders and rethinking the outdated concept of hustle in the age of AI. —--------- If you're ready to build the kind of business that doesn't just survive uncertainty but leads through it, check out the Driving Solutions Strategic Intensive program, designed to support leadership teams through high-stakes strategic decisions. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter, LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

Ask Me Anything and takeaways of the day featuring Andy, Randy, Beau, and Abe.
Episode 234: In this episode of Sports Science Insights Podcast, host Steve Barrett is joined by Niklas Virtanen, who leads the sport science efforts at FC Midtjylland. With over eight years of experience in elite sport and high-performance consulting, and backed by UEFA fitness coaching and physiotherapy credentials, Niklas has built his work around a data-driven approach to optimising player performance and development. Much of the conversation starts from a premise that is easy to say and harder to sit with: GPS has been mastered. Total distance, high-speed running, sprint counts — the metrics that once felt like the frontier are now table stakes, tracked by almost every club at almost every level. The interesting question is no longer whether you can collect them, but what you do once collecting them stops being a competitive advantage. ㅤ From there the discussion turns to what sits underneath the movement data. Niklas makes the case for IMA and IMU signals as a way of understanding how a player is performing an action, not just what action they performed — the accelerations, decelerations, changes of direction and mechanical signatures that separate two players covering identical distances in completely different ways. It's a shift from describing workload to interpreting quality, and it changes what sport science can offer a coach. ㅤ The episode also explores where that leaves practitioners: the discipline required to stop adding metrics, the value of asking better questions of the data already being captured, and what genuine progress looks like once the obvious layer has been solved. ㅤ Topics Discussed: GPS Is Mastered — So What Should We Be Doing Now? Using IMA/IMU Data to Understand How a Player Is Performing, Not Just What They're Doing Moving from Workload Description to Movement Quality What Progress Looks Like Beyond the Obvious Metrics Where you can find Niklas: LinkedIn Instagram — Sponsors Axon: Performance teams spend the morning after game day stitching together six systems before the coach gets an answer.

"Save more than you spend" sounds like a timeless piece of money advice, as true today as it was two hundred years ago. But in the mid-1800s, many folks believed you needed to spend your money as soon as possible. In fact, saving too much back then could lead to financial ruin! That's just one example of how Americans' attitudes about money have evolved throughout history. But it's not just rules of thumb and hand-me-down wisdom that's changed. It's the nature of money and our relationship to it. On today's show, we welcome author Joseph S. Moore to discuss his new book, How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't), and the surprising ways five money philosophies have shifted over time.

“That's not a badge of honor. It's a badge of armor.”We celebrate overachievement.The packed calendar.The endless workload.The constant availability.The ability to keep pushing.But what if some of what we call ambition is actually self-protection?In this episode of the Earning Conviction Series, Glenn Llopis sits down with Dr. Rosie Ward, leadership psychologist and co-author of Future-Proofing Leadership, to explore the invisible operating system shaping how leaders think, behave, and respond under pressure. Rosie and Glenn unpack:
AI can be a powerful tool in business, but it is not a substitute for expert guidance when selling a software or IT company. This video explains six key risks of relying too heavily on AI in tech M&A, including outdated valuation data, generic buyer outreach, incomplete buyer intelligence, and weak strategic positioning. Selling a technology company requires current market insight, buyer relationships, compelling storytelling, confidentiality, and professional deal strategy. Learn why AI should be used responsibly as an advantage in the M&A process — not as a shortcut for one of the most important decisions a founder will make. Takeaways • AI tools can help streamline work, but they cannot run a complete M&A process. • Outdated public data can lead to poor valuation assumptions. • Generic AI-generated outreach may fail to capture buyer attention. • AI lacks private buyer intelligence, negotiation history, and relationship context. • Strong positioning depends on understanding disruptive trends and future buyer value. • Deal structure, tax issues, estate planning, and legacy goals require human expertise. • Confidential company data should be protected carefully when using AI tools. 0:00 – AI Is Not a Shortcut for Tech M&A Why founders should be cautious about using AI to sell a software or IT company. 0:49 – Six AI Risks in the Sale Process The core cautions around AI-generated valuation, research, buyer lists, and deal support. 1:00 – Data Quality and Buyer Messaging Why current market data and human storytelling are critical to price discovery. 2:16 – Buyer Intelligence and Strategic Positioning How relationships, deal behavior, disruptive trends, and future value shape outcomes. 3:15 – Personal Planning, Security, and Expert Execution Why complex deal decisions and confidential information require professional guidance.

Higher education capital planning, university procurement, and what it really takes to win AEC work with a public university anchor this conversation with Howard Wertheimer, FAIA Emeritus, LEED AP, Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities at UNC-Chapel Hill.Howard has spent more than two decades on both sides of the design and construction table. He built his career in private practice, including 21 years as a Partner and Principal at Lord, Aeck and Sargent, before moving into ownership and institutional leadership roles at Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt University, and now UNC-Chapel Hill, where he oversees planning, design, construction, and operations across nearly 20 million square feet of campus facilities.Host Katie Cash sits down with Howard to unpack how UNC's capital improvement plan comes together, from early pre-planning and budgeting through board approval, and what firms need to understand about the state's advertising and procurement process. Howard explains why attention to detail on proposals, from accurate references to correctly spelled university names, matters more than most firms realize, and how outdated reference contacts can quietly sink a submission. He also shares how UNC brought in an independent cost estimator to reconcile budgets on a CM at-risk delivery project and saved three million dollars on a single job, along with a look at the 950-acre former airport site UNC recently acquired for future campus development.Whether a firm is chasing its first project with a public university or working to strengthen a long-standing relationship, Howard's perspective from both sides of the table offers a clear, practical roadmap. It is a conversation packed with guidance for any AEC firm serious about growing its higher education practice.Key TakeawaysSweat the details. Typos, misspelled university names, and language copied from a previous proposal read as a lack of care and are one of the fastest ways to lose credibility with a selection committee.Keep references current and relevant. Outdated contact information undermines a proposal before anyone picks up the phone, and a reference tied to the wrong project type can do just as much damage.Local presence builds trust. For out-of-state firms pursuing public university work, having someone who can be on site within a day matters, especially on the construction side.Independent cost estimating pays for itself. Bringing in a third-party estimator to reconcile budgets between the design team and the CM helped UNC save three million dollars on a single project.Connect with Howard Wertheimer, FAIA Emeritus, LEED AP, Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities, The University of NC at Chapel Hillhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/howard-wertheimer-faia-emeritus-leed-ap-6711454/Resources Mentioned in Episode:The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, official website and facilities RFQ postingsGeorgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), Howard's previous institutionUniversity of North Carolina System, Board of GovernorsUNC-Chapel Hill Board of TrusteesNorth Carolina State Construction Office (SCO)Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design, Georgia TechClough Undergraduate Commons, Georgia TechKrone Engineered Biosystems Building, Georgia Tech, AIA COTE Top Ten award winner, LEED PlatinumHoward Wertheimer's contact email: worthy@unc.eduConnect with Katie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kacash/https://smartegies.com/ Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:We hope you're finding value in our AEC Marketing For Principals.

Jane Hammons and Adrienne Warner examine outdated research notions, from Wikipedia to plagiarism, on episode 634 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode We can’t go through our lives or in the classroom thinking everything through with no heuristics, no shortcuts, no things that we can rely on credibly and reliably to take us to information that we do trust. -Adrienne Warner One of the outdated notions that we hear a lot and continue to hear at times is that Wikipedia is bad. And I think that it’s more nuanced than that, actually. -Adrienne Warner It’s less about saying any of these tools are better than the other, but that they have different uses, they have different values, they can all be a really valuable part of the research experience. -Jane Hammons If we’re expecting our students to engage with scholarly articles, they’re just not often going to have the background knowledge that is needed to be able to do that. -Jane Hammons Resources Educating for Misunderstanding: How Approaches to Teaching Digital Literacy Make Students Susceptible to Scammers, Rogues, Bad Actors, and Hate Mongers by Wineburg and colleagues Outdated Notion: Teaching Plagiarism as Theft Outdated Notions: Teaching Scholarly Articles as the Gold Standard Identifying Outdated Research Notions Outdated Notions Slides Poll Everywhere WhatCable Fire Weather by John Vaillant The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff
Cyber Resilience isn't just an IT challenge anymore. It's changing how the best B2B sales teams sell. Companies are racing into AI, but Tim Pfaelzer believes many are overlooking the foundation that determines whether it succeeds. Harry sits down with Tim Pfaelzer, SVP & GM EMEA at Veeam, to explore why successful companies don't simply adapt their products. They retrain their sales teams to speak the language of business risk, executive priorities, and business outcomes. Along the way, Tim challenges one of the biggest assumptions surrounding AI and explains why "backup isn't the product. Trusted data is the outcome."

Canada's parental leave system was built for a workforce that no longer exists. As work and family life have changed, the policy hasn't, leaving more parents without the support they need.In this episode of Classonomics, Sabrina Maddeaux and Mike Moffatt examine why Canada's parental leave system is increasingly out of step with today's workforce. They discuss how rising housing costs, stagnant income replacement, contract work, and outdated Employment Insurance rules are making it harder for Canadians to start or grow their families.The conversation explores why many parents, especially freelancers, self-employed workers, and those in the gig economy, struggle to qualify for benefits, how employer parental leave top-ups are disappearing, and what Canada can learn from Quebec's parental insurance plan and Finland's family-friendly reforms.Topics covered:Why Canada's fertility rate has reached a record lowHow EI parental leave actually worksWhy one-third of Canadian mothers don't qualify for paid parental leaveThe financial reality of taking parental leave todayHousing costs and the affordability of raising childrenWhy freelancers, contractors, and gig workers are left behindThe decline of employer parental leave top-upsQuebec's parental leave model and its impact on fertilityFinland's parental leave reforms and shared parentingPolicy reforms that could make it easier for Canadians to have the families they wantChapters:00:00 Why Canada's fertility rate hit a record low00:49 How Canada's parental leave system actually works02:42 Why Young Canadians Are Delaying Having Kids04:18 The Hidden Financial Penalty of Parental Leave06:32 Why 1 in 3 Mothers Can't Access Paid Leave08:08 The Self-Employment Trap10:02 Why Employer Parental Leave Benefits Are Shrinking12:37 What Quebec Gets Right About Parental Leave14:34 Finland's Family Policy Is Changing Fatherhood16:28 How Canada Could Fix Parental Leave Research links:Statistics Canada -- Canada's total fertility rate reaches a new low in 2024:https://www.statcan.gc.ca/o1/en/plus/9140-canadas-total-fertility-rate-reaches-new-low-2024Statistics Canada -- The Daily: Fertility and baby names, 2024:https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/250924/dq250924d-eng.htmThe Hub / Cardus -- Stop dismissing falling fertility rates as a choice (2.2 children wanted stat):https://thehub.ca/2026/04/14/with-a-record-low-1-25-children-per-canadian-woman-stop-dismissing-falling-fertility-rates-as-a-choice/Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives -- Support for parents in a post-pandemic world (EI reform; replacement rate, eligibility threshold proposals):https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/support-for-parents-in-a-post-pandemic-world-options-for-enhancing-federal-maternity-and-parental-leave/Policy Options / IRPP -- Parental leave benefits need to be more practical and equitable (1 in 4 self-employed stat; top-up decline):https://policyoptions.irpp.org/2024/05/parental-leave-equity/PMC -- Policy and Fertility: A Case Study of the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (peer-reviewed; fertility lift estimates):https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11070327/Yle News / Helsinki Times -- More fathers taking parental leave since Finland's 2022 law change:https://yle.fi/a/74-20162964Fast Company -- Deloitte and Zoom cut parental leave and other benefits:https://www.fastcompany.com/91530300/deloitte-and-zoom-cut-parental-leave-and-other-benefitsPMC -- Reconceptualizing Parental Leave Benefits in COVID-19 Canada: From Employment Policy to Care Policy (EI vs QPIP comparison; self-employed eligibility history):https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8229861/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinFunded by the Neptis Foundation https://neptis.org/
The Podcast: The Outdated Wrestling Hour With Bob Smith podcast – now heading toward its fourth year – offers veteran fans (as well as curious younger ones) a chance to reminisce about classic mat action from years gone by. The show is hosted by Bob Smith, the former managing editor of Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine who also enjoyed a long history with other famous titles. Co-host Joe Puccio (GenerationXWire.com) offers a younger perspective on old wrestling before the duo ushers in guests from throughout the professional mat landscape.The Topic: The Outdated Wrestling Hour continues on with another look back at how much pro wrestling has changed since the 1970s and '80s – and this time, it's pretty amazing to see just HOW much everything has been altered. From refereeing to interviews to basic matches, fans somehow went from cheering the bad guys getting disqualified to “This is awesome!” long before a match has started. This podcast marks the first time Smith and Puccio have been in the same room since late in the spring – and the duo tells all about it in an episode we're dubbing “The Outdated Outpatient Hour”!

An Army initiative that launched in 2024 wants to reshape how soldiers prepare for future wars. But as the "Transformation in Contact" program has expanded to include the Army National Guard, it's begun to strain the balance between staying ready for today's fight and looking ahead to the next one. Outdated facilities are making it hard to adapt to new technology, and that new technology has started to crowd spaces soldiers still need for regular operations and training.

A trademark can become one of the most valuable assets a business owns. It may represent reputation, customer trust, market recognition. But registration is not the end of the process. To keep it active, the owner must meet maintenance deadlines, continue using the mark properly, and ensure the official record reflects the real business.In this episode, we explain how often trademarks must be renewed, why the answer depends on the jurisdiction, and which deadlines owners often miss.In the United States, federal trademark registrations generally follow a ten-year renewal cycle. However, there is a critical maintenance filing due between the fifth and sixth anniversaries of registration. This filing confirms that the mark is still being used for the goods or services listed in the registration.A business cannot simply circle the tenth anniversary on a calendar and ignore everything in between. Missing the fifth-to-sixth-year filing can cause the registration to be canceled before the first renewal deadline arrives.Between the ninth and tenth anniversaries, the owner generally files a combined Section Eight and Section Nine submission. The Section Eight portion confirms continued use, while the Section Nine portion renews the registration for another ten-year term. After that, the process repeats every ten years.We also examine international schedules. The European Union, Canada, Australia, and registrations managed through the Madrid System generally use ten-year renewal periods. Even when the cycle is similar, filing windows, fees, evidence requirements, and grace periods can differ.One important correction for anyone relying on older articles: Canadian trademark renewals are now generally handled in ten-year periods, not fifteen-year periods. Outdated information can create expensive planning mistakes for global portfolios.This episode explains why renewal should be treated as a brand audit rather than a routine payment. Before filing, the owner should confirm the legal owner, review the listed goods and services, collect current evidence of use, verify licensing relationships, and identify products or services that are no longer sold.We discuss common hazards, including filing under the wrong business entity, claiming use for discontinued goods, relying too heavily on grace periods, paying misleading private notices, and overlooking related international registrations.A trademark can potentially remain protected indefinitely. A registration may continue through repeated renewal periods as long as the owner meets the legal requirements and the mark keeps functioning as a source identifier.The episode covers a practical maintenance process. Start with the official registration date. Record every filing window and grace period. Assign responsibility to a specific person or team. Save prior submissions and specimens. Review ownership after mergers, conversions, or acquisitions. Build reminders early enough to solve problems before the deadline becomes an emergency.For starup founders and small business owners, this matters because a missed renewal can affect far more than a certificate. It can complicate licensing, fundraising, franchising, enforcement, due diligence, acquisitions, and expansion. A lapse may also create opportunities for competitors and increase the cost of rebuilding protection.The central takeaway is simple: in many major jurisdictions, trademarks generally renew every ten years, but U.S. owners must also remember the filing between years five and six.A strong brand deserves more than a sticky note and good intentions. It deserves a reliable maintenance system.Listen to learn how trademark renewal works, which deadlines matter most, and how to keep a valuable brand from becoming an avoidable legal problem.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Jonathan and Cody break down the opening three episodes of King of the Hill Season 15. They discuss why parts of the revival feel stuck in 2013, whether Hank would really hate an electric truck, the show's noticeably raunchier dialogue, the emotional introduction of Caesar Salad, and why the artificial intelligence scam episode understands Hank Hill so well. They also talk about Cody's new community technology center, why Jonathan prefers listener texts over phone calls, a Patrick Mahomes statistic that accidentally makes him look better, senior-dog adoption, fostering pets, changing character voices, and whether the new season is living up to the revival's first year.
Most people use technology all day without giving much thought to what is happening behind the screen. We trust routers that may not have been updated in years, depend on internet systems few of us understand, and now turn to artificial intelligence for everything from travel plans to home repairs. That convenience comes with tradeoffs. In this episode, we look at the weaknesses built into our connected world and what happens when our technical knowledge fails to keep pace with the technology surrounding us. Sherrod DeGrippo leads threat intelligence for Unit 42 at Palo Alto Networks, where she oversees teams working to identify and respond to increasingly complex cyber threats. During more than two decades in information security, she has held senior leadership roles at Microsoft and Proofpoint, along with positions at Nexum, Symantec, Secureworks, and the National Nuclear Security Administration. Sherrod was named Cyber Security Woman of the Year in 2022 and regularly shares her expertise at industry conferences and through outlets including BBC News, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The New York Times. She is also the author of *Threat Driven Software Development: Defending Modern Online Services*. We discuss how outdated home routers become tools for criminal and nation-state attacks, what could happen as technical knowledge disappears, and why foundational internet systems may be more vulnerable than people realize. Sherrod also explains why the greatest danger from AI may not be a dramatic technological disaster, but the gradual loss of human connection as people choose frictionless answers over real conversations. Along the way, she shares practical examples of where AI genuinely helps, where its limits become obvious, and why slowing down still matters when emotion or urgency begins driving a decision. Show Notes: [01:48] Sherrod introduces herself and traces her 23-year career from government network security to threat intelligence. [03:00] An early lesson in buffer overflows sparked a lasting interest in both hacking and protecting systems. [05:10] Growing up around AT&T gave Sherrod firsthand experience with telephone networks, copper lines, and beige boxing. [08:17] Technology has shifted from something people opened and explored into consumer devices few people truly understand. [11:24] As technical knowledge disappears, the people who understand how systems actually work are becoming increasingly rare. [13:41] Older internet users often understood where their data traveled, while today's devices constantly communicate in the background. [16:22] Network security remains critical because once malicious traffic reaches a device, the problem has already become much larger. [17:57] Outdated home routers provide an attractive attack surface for criminals and foreign governments. [20:12] The conversation turns to the fragility of DNS, internet protocols, and the systems supporting the global network. [22:13] Chris shares his experience with denial-of-service attacks and seeing legitimate online services exploited by malware. [25:48] Sherrod explains why AI's greatest danger may be the gradual loss of human relationships rather than a dramatic physical threat. [29:23] AI works well for tedious tasks, but human connection, creativity, and judgment should not be handed over so easily. [31:35] Living intentionally means deciding what experiences matter instead of allowing technology or other outside forces to decide for us. [34:10] Frictionless technology may leave people more vulnerable to scams by training them to expect immediate and effortless results. [35:33] Social engineering uses modern tools, but manipulation, espionage, and theft have existed for thousands of years. [38:14] AI may eliminate certain jobs while also giving people more time to focus on customers, relationships, and other human-centered work. [40:44] A furnace repair shows how AI can guide basic troubleshooting and reduce the need for some professional diagnostic visits. [43:08] AI can help someone become competent in many areas, but having access to it does not make anyone an expert. [45:44] Used intentionally, AI can remove unwanted planning and create more opportunities for people to spend time together. [47:18] Strong prompts, detailed skill files, and personalized instructions may become more valuable than traditional prompt engineering. [49:10] A gift card scam demonstrates how fear and urgency can push someone to ignore repeated warnings from others. [51:30] Sherrod advises pausing whenever a strong emotion begins driving an unusual financial or personal decision. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

What if one of the most toxic products in your home isn't your cleaning spray, your cookware, or your water bottle… but the lip gloss sitting in your purse right now? In this eye-opening and deeply alarming conversation, Darin Olien sits down with clean beauty innovator, attorney, and consumer advocate Laura D'Alamo to expose what may be one of the biggest blind spots in modern health and beauty. After surviving triple-negative breast cancer and a near-fatal battle with COVID, Laura embarked on a two-year investigation into the cosmetic industry that uncovered a startling regulatory gap surrounding lip products, microplastics, toxic ingredients, and consumer safety. Together, they explore how lip products are regulated as external-use cosmetics despite being chronically ingested, why 80–90% of lip products may contain microplastics, how outdated regulations fail to reflect modern usage patterns, and why ingredients banned in food can still legally appear in products applied directly to the lips. They also discuss the launch of the Lip Service Alliance, the future of food-grade lip care, and how consumers can drive industry-wide change through awareness and purchasing decisions. What You'll Learn Why lip products may represent a major overlooked toxic exposure pathway How cosmetics regulations differ from food and pharmaceutical regulations Why lip products are treated as external-use products despite being ingested The hidden role of microplastics in lip glosses, lipsticks, and lip balms Why flavored lip products may increase chronic ingestion How lip tissue differs biologically from normal skin The shocking absorption rates associated with oral mucosal tissue Why titanium dioxide is banned in European food but still used in lip products How outdated usage assumptions fail to reflect modern beauty habits Why the fastest-growing lip product market is girls ages 9–17 The mission behind the Lip Service Alliance How consumers can influence change through

Lip products are uniquely positioned at the intersection of ingestion, absorption, and chronic exposure, yet most regulatory systems still treat them as if they simply sit on the surface of the skin. Whether or not every concern raised in this conversation proves true over time, one thing is undeniable: consumers deserve better science, better transparency, and better products. And when enough people demand change, industries always find a way to evolve."
