In this bite-sized nugget, I'm talking about one of the most sanity-sucking habits kids have: interrupting. You know the drill—you finally sit down for a conversation with another adult, and boom, your kid is right there, cutting in with something that definitely could have waited. I'll share why letting kids constantly interrupt actually creates clingy behavior, how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, and the simple little trick I taught Pascal when he was three that he still remembers at nineteen. Spoiler: it'll save your sanity, help you finish a sentence, and make people think you're raising the politest kid on the block.Timestamps:(00:00:39) Respectfully Managing Child Interruptions in Conversations(00:00:39) Teaching Respectful Interruption Etiquette to Children(00:04:06) Respecting Turn-Taking: Child's Arm Signal MethodJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Quand on demande aux enfants ce qu'ils veulent faire plus tard, les réponses sont souvent colorées de stéréotypes. Pompiers et astronautes pour les garçons, infirmières ou institutrices pour les filles. Et pourtant, les passions et les métiers n'ont pas de genre. C'est ce que démontre le livre Et toi, tu veux faire quoi plus tard ?, paru chez Albin Michel et signé par Audrey Derquenne, avec des illustrations pleines de fraîcheur de Marie-Lou Lesage (@les_ptites_meufs).Ce guide des métiers pas comme les autres s'attaque aux idées reçues. Sur la couverture, on découvre des femmes dans des métiers encore trop perçus comme masculins : cheffe de caserne pompier, astrophysicienne, secouriste de montagne, menuisière… À l'intérieur, chaque portrait met en avant des parcours réels, souvent semés d'embûches mais toujours inspirants.On y croise Amandine, conductrice poids lourd. Après un premier essai sur une bétonneuse, elle se prend de passion pour ce métier, affronte les remarques sexistes, réussit son certificat de transport et fonde avec son compagnon une entreprise florissante de camions céréaliers. On découvre aussi Pascal, passionné de cuisine devenu esthéticien à 50 ans. Son choix de réorientation, atypique, prouve qu'il n'est jamais trop tard pour embrasser une nouvelle vocation.Le livre donne également la parole à Willy, sage-femme, ou Vinh, prothésiste ongulaire : autant d'hommes qui ont choisi des métiers souvent associés aux femmes. Tous racontent leur déclic, leurs difficultés mais aussi la fierté d'exercer une profession qui leur ressemble.Chaque portrait est accompagné d'un encadré pratique : principales missions, qualités requises, niveau d'études… De quoi aider les lecteurs à mieux comprendre le quotidien de ces métiers et à se projeter, sans se laisser limiter par les clichés.Et toi, tu veux faire quoi plus tard ? n'est pas qu'un simple livre de témoignages, c'est un outil pédagogique et inspirant qui ouvre le champ des possibles, pour les jeunes… et pour les adultes qui les accompagnent.Vous aimez ce contenu ? Alors n'hésitez pas à vous abonner, à lui donner des étoiles et à partager ce podcast autour de vous.

Am 27. September 2025 wird Nik Hartmann zum ersten Mal als Gastgeber durch «Happy Day» führen und Herzenswünsche erfüllen. Co-Moderatorin Kiki Maeder lässt weiterhin Wohnträume wahr werden. Zum Auftakt nach der Sommerpause wurden das Studiodekor und das Design von «Happy Day» optisch modernisiert. Nik Hartmann feiert am Samstag, 27. September 2025, Premiere als Moderator von «Happy Day». In seiner ersten Sendung erfüllt er die grössten Wünsche des Publikums und macht Unmögliches möglich. In der Umbau-Rubrik mit Co-Moderatorin Kiki Maeder und ihrem Team werden weiterhin Wohnträume wahr. Nik Hartmann: «Wie ‹Happy Day› fürs Publikum, ist für mich die Rückkehr zu SRF auch ein emotionaler Moment. Ich freue mich sehr, wieder Gastgeber zu sein. ‹Happy Day› ist mir in dieser kurzen Zeit der Vorbereitung schon sehr fest ans Herz gewachsen.» Aufgefrischtes Erscheinungsbild Für ein zeitgemässes Erscheinungsbild wurde das «Happy Day»-Design zum Auftakt nach der Sommerpause optisch etwas aufgefrischt. Auch das 18-jährige Studiodekor wurde erneuert. «Der Moderationswechsel war ein geeigneter Zeitpunkt, die überfälligen Neuerungen vorzunehmen», sagt Nicole Simmen, leitende Produzentin von «Happy Day»: «Die Inhalte bleiben, wie das Publikum sie kennt und schätzt: Auch künftig werden grosse und kleine Herzenswünsche erfüllt und Menschen überrascht.» Nik Hartmann lässt Wünsche wahr werden In seiner ersten «Happy Day»-Sendung erfüllt Nik Hartmann bereits grosse Herzenswünsche – etwa für den 32-jährigen Marvin aus Diegten BL. Er wurde als Baby von seiner Mutter getrennt und wuchs in der Schweiz bei seinem Vater auf. Seine Mutter blieb in Thailand, wo Marvin geboren wurde. Der Kontakt zwischen den Eltern brach ab, Dokumente für die Suche nach ihr wurden bei einem Brand zerstört. Marvins Frau bittet «Happy Day» darum, Marvins innigsten Wunsch zu erfüllen und dessen Mutter zu finden. Nik Hartmann nimmt Marvin mit auf eine Suche in Thailand, die sein Leben für immer verändern wird. Der Schweizer Mundart-Reggae-Star Dodo ist das grösste musikalische Idol von Fiona, 34. Sie möchte von Herzen gerne mit ihm im Starduett seinen Hit «Hippie-Bus» singen. Für die Überraschung von Fiona aus Affoltern am Albis ZH hat sich Nik Hartmann als Wahrsager verkleidet, der die Zukunft erstaunlich genau vorhersagen kann. Und ebenfalls live im Studio: Calum Scott mit einem ganz besonderen Song. Ein neues Zuhause und eine besondere Überraschung Kiki Maeder, Andrin Schweizer und ihr Umbauteam überraschen Corinne und Pascal aus Waltenschwil AG: Ihr Alltag dreht sich um die Betreuung ihrer zwei autistischen Kinder. Samira, 6, und Eliah, 4, haben sehr spezielle Bedürfnisse, sie müssen permanent begleitet und beobachtet werden. Die Familie verbringt viel Zeit zu Hause, spontane Ausflüge sind unmöglich. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass Räume wie die Küche oder die Stube praktisch und wohnlich werden. Zudem begibt sich Kiki Maeder während der Live-Sendung auf eine ganz besondere Überraschungsmission.
French official Pascal Confavreux says the French-Saudi initiative takes the two-state solution "out of the moral danger" it was in. Pascal, spokesperson of the French Foreign Ministry, tells host Steve Clemons that France aims to end Israel's war on Gaza by sidelining Hamas, reshaping the Palestinian Authority to make it more palatable to Israel's right-wing government, and involving some Arab and Muslim states in the governance of Gaza. After his government recognised the State of Palestine for the first time on September 22, Confavreux argued that the alternative to a two-state solution is “an endless cycle of violence.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on X : https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #aljazeera #aljazeeraenglish #aljazeeranewslive

In this special episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan dedicate the entire show to Pascal Siakam — a star who far too often flies under the radar even amongst Pacers die hards. From the blockbuster trade that brought him to Indiana to his two seasons of steady impact on the court and in the locker room, we break down why this was one of the most impactful NBA trades in recent years. We look at his All-Star level play, new found leadership, and the way he's reshaped the Pacers into true title contenders. In short - it's time to give Pascal his flowers.

I studied economics in university, which isn't that close to database work, though I did have to work through linear regression problems by hand. I always enjoyed mathematics, so this wasn't a hardship. Until I purchased a PC that was capable of letting me do graphs and calculations in PASCAL and BASIC. Then I realized that my enjoyment wasn't that efficient or useful, and a computer could help me get things done way more efficiently. Many of us work on systems that process tremendous amounts of data, something our organizations couldn't complete without computer hardware, efficiently or not. We just wouldn't be able to get the work done by hand. That's the main reason why downtime is such a problem in the modern world; we can't fall back to manual systems in many cases.

00:00:50 – Trump, NFL & Dictatorship ComparisonsThe show opens with Trump mocking the NFL's new kickoff rule as “sissy football.” This segues into a warning about Trump's emergency powers, tariffs, and governing by decree, comparing him to global dictators. 00:13:58 – Free Speech Betrayed After Kirk's DeathDiscussion of Trump, JD Vance, and GOP leaders calling for censorship in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The Smith-Mundt Act is misrepresented to justify cracking down on the press, with comparisons to Reagan's betrayal of the Second Amendment after the Brady shooting. 00:23:10 – Media Control & False NarrativesGuests like Tucker Carlson and RFK Jr. are accused of aiding efforts to redefine free speech as terrorism. Skepticism is raised toward Steve Bannon's claims and the FBI's version of events, framing it as another push toward surveillance and internet ID mandates. 00:36:17 – Armed Queers & Radical MarxistsCoverage of “Armed Queers SLC,” a Marxist-LGBT militant group in Utah linked to Cuba. Their open revolutionary training and ties to Antifa figures are framed as proof that universities are breeding grounds for leftist terrorism. 00:52:02 – First Amendment vs. ViolenceDebate shifts to why the First Amendment is more important than the Second, arguing that radicalization comes from schools, culture, and censorship itself—not weapons. Liberty is portrayed as inherently dangerous but preferable to state control. 01:18:12 – Internet Control & Epstein Files BuriedSpeculation deepens around the Kirk shooting, with questions about the rifle used, multiple shooters, and hand signals. The assassination is tied to a broader effort to end online anonymity, while the Epstein files are said to be quietly buried under the media fog. 01:34:28 – J.K. Rowling & Faith StrugglesDiscussion of Rowling's “God-shaped vacuum” comments, her shift toward more conservative views, and Pascal's wager. The host critiques her books as amoral and emphasizes grounding in the Bible. 01:49:45 – Authoritarian Conservatism & Cancel CultureCriticism of JD Vance and other GOP leaders for embracing cancel culture, urging snitching on Kirk critics, and mirroring Stasi-style tactics. The host stresses this betrays free speech and liberty. 01:55:23 – Social Media, Radicalization & SchoolsDebunking claims that social media “killed Charlie Kirk.” Instead, government schools are identified as the true source of radicalization, pushing Marxism, LGBT ideology, and secular humanism. 02:28:38 – AI Fails & Security RisksCoverage of how AI coding creates massive security vulnerabilities and relies on underpaid human moderators. The “AI bubble” is framed as a pyramid scheme propped up by propaganda and capital burn. 02:53:43 – Gold Surges Amid Panic CutsFinancial analyst Ed Dowd predicts a “panic rate cut cycle,” driving gold above $3,700. Gold is praised as a hedge against inflation, privacy loss, and collapsing fiat systems, while Trump's tariffs are blamed for worsening the economy.

00:00:50 – Trump, NFL & Dictatorship ComparisonsThe show opens with Trump mocking the NFL's new kickoff rule as “sissy football.” This segues into a warning about Trump's emergency powers, tariffs, and governing by decree, comparing him to global dictators. 00:13:58 – Free Speech Betrayed After Kirk's DeathDiscussion of Trump, JD Vance, and GOP leaders calling for censorship in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The Smith-Mundt Act is misrepresented to justify cracking down on the press, with comparisons to Reagan's betrayal of the Second Amendment after the Brady shooting. 00:23:10 – Media Control & False NarrativesGuests like Tucker Carlson and RFK Jr. are accused of aiding efforts to redefine free speech as terrorism. Skepticism is raised toward Steve Bannon's claims and the FBI's version of events, framing it as another push toward surveillance and internet ID mandates. 00:36:17 – Armed Queers & Radical MarxistsCoverage of “Armed Queers SLC,” a Marxist-LGBT militant group in Utah linked to Cuba. Their open revolutionary training and ties to Antifa figures are framed as proof that universities are breeding grounds for leftist terrorism. 00:52:02 – First Amendment vs. ViolenceDebate shifts to why the First Amendment is more important than the Second, arguing that radicalization comes from schools, culture, and censorship itself—not weapons. Liberty is portrayed as inherently dangerous but preferable to state control. 01:18:12 – Internet Control & Epstein Files BuriedSpeculation deepens around the Kirk shooting, with questions about the rifle used, multiple shooters, and hand signals. The assassination is tied to a broader effort to end online anonymity, while the Epstein files are said to be quietly buried under the media fog. 01:34:28 – J.K. Rowling & Faith StrugglesDiscussion of Rowling's “God-shaped vacuum” comments, her shift toward more conservative views, and Pascal's wager. The host critiques her books as amoral and emphasizes grounding in the Bible. 01:49:45 – Authoritarian Conservatism & Cancel CultureCriticism of JD Vance and other GOP leaders for embracing cancel culture, urging snitching on Kirk critics, and mirroring Stasi-style tactics. The host stresses this betrays free speech and liberty. 01:55:23 – Social Media, Radicalization & SchoolsDebunking claims that social media “killed Charlie Kirk.” Instead, government schools are identified as the true source of radicalization, pushing Marxism, LGBT ideology, and secular humanism. 02:28:38 – AI Fails & Security RisksCoverage of how AI coding creates massive security vulnerabilities and relies on underpaid human moderators. The “AI bubble” is framed as a pyramid scheme propped up by propaganda and capital burn. 02:53:43 – Gold Surges Amid Panic CutsFinancial analyst Ed Dowd predicts a “panic rate cut cycle,” driving gold above $3,700. Gold is praised as a hedge against inflation, privacy loss, and collapsing fiat systems, while Trump's tariffs are blamed for worsening the economy.

Episode DescriptionJames sits down once again with cosmologist Brian Keating—longtime friend of the show and author of Into the Impossible: Focus Like a Nobel Prize Winner. In this candid conversation, they challenge each other's views on focus, curiosity, and the trade-offs of staying in your lane. Brian shares behind-the-scenes lessons from interviewing Nobel Prize winners, the thinking behind his new “Keating Test” for AI, and why communication matters as much as discovery in science.This episode isn't about self-help clichés. It's about real-world insights you won't hear anywhere else—whether it's why guarding your time is the most important skill, how to use flow states to sharpen your career, or why great breakthroughs depend on questioning the work of those who came before.What You'll LearnWhy Brian created the “Keating Test” as a new measure for true artificial intelligenceHow Nobel Prize winners balance intense focus with curiosity across disciplinesWhy communication skills matter as much as scientific discovery for lasting impactHow to guard your time from “time bandits” and apply the power of saying “no”Practical ways to find your lane—or combine lanes—while still pursuing flow and masteryTimestamped Chapters[02:00] The Keating Test: AI, free will, and the act of survival[06:00] Humor, history, and reclaiming the “worst joke ever told”[08:00] Friendship, TEDx, and 11 years of conversations[09:00] Lessons from Nobel Prize winners: beyond self-help habits[10:00] Publishing with Scribe/Lioncrest and connections to James and David Goggins[12:00] Into the Impossible, Volume One: why distilling Nobel wisdom matters[13:00] Imposter syndrome, Alfred Nobel, and Volume Two's focus[15:00] Donna Strickland, LASIK, and the power of saying no[18:00] Stay in your lane—or widen it?

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Pascal Wagner is a former venture capitalist turned real estate investor who has built a $250,000 annual passive income portfolio through over 30 investments. As a VC at Techstars, he deployed $150 million into 300 companies, where he learned how top institutions analyze deals and manage risk. Today, he applies that same institutional approach to passive real estate investing while coaching others to invest with clarity and confidence. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Most passive investors make the mistake of analyzing deals in isolation instead of starting with a clear investment thesis. Institutional investors use a scientific method—macro themes first, then micro criteria, then deal selection. Diversification is essential: Pascal built co-living homes in Atlanta but realized his mom's retirement couldn't rest on one asset class or city. Following institutional or family office investors can provide a safer entry point for LPs. Separate your “cash flow bucket” from your “equity growth bucket” to align investments with goals. Topics From Techstars to Real Estate Built early wealth through co-living rentals before joining Techstars as an investor. Learned institutional-level due diligence by reviewing thousands of deals. After his father's passing, managed his mother's retirement income and shifted focus to reliable passive strategies. How Institutions Invest Define a thesis first, then filter deals that fit. See hundreds of opportunities before investing in a few. Don't chase returns—find inevitable long-term trends and align investments accordingly. Developing Guardrails for LP Investing Criteria like vintage, roof types, and market selection come from experience and costly lessons. Partnering with operators who have already learned those lessons is critical. Institutional investors demand reporting, audits, and controls—retail investors can “follow” their lead. Buckets of Cash Flow vs. Equity Growth Co-living homes and private credit provide stable cash flow. High-risk equities (tech stocks, crypto) are placed in long-term equity growth buckets. Structured his mother's long-term holdings for inheritance tax advantages while using his own portfolio for near-term cash needs.

4. Adapt and Be Adept: Market Responses to Climate Change edited by Terry Anderson, champions market-based adaptation to climate change over top-down, incentivized approaches such as carbon taxes or "climate clubs". The book uses Pascal's Wager to frame its argument: regardless of whether climate change is definitively proven, it is prudent to adapt. A central critique in the book is directed at the economic impracticality of relying solely on renewable energy. Mark Mills' chapter highlights that historically, the dominance of wood and the search for food kept societies from specializing, a limitation overcome by fossil fuels. Current statistics show renewables account for only 2% of global and 3% of US electricity generation. The cost comparison is stark: $1 million worth of shale gas produces 300 million kilowatts of power, while the same value in renewables yields only 50 kilowatts. Furthermore, storing renewable energy with batteries is prohibitively expensive (costing $200 per equivalent unit compared to $1 for hydrocarbons) and limited by the availability and environmental impact of mining critical resources like lithium. The book dismisses goals like the Biden administration's aim for 100% renewable electricity by 2035 as being in "total denial" of these physical and economic limits. The book also critiques government-led "incentivized" policies, like carbon taxes or emissions trading systems, as susceptible to political distortion and protectionist agendas. These policies, derived from "blackboard economics," fail to account for the political reality where powerful interests at the negotiating table ensure they are not "on the menu" for taxation. The failure of Europe's emissions trading system, which was diluted by granting credits to new energy producers, serves as an example of such distortion destroying market incentives. Instead, the book advocates for improving "price discovery" through financial and risk markets as the most effective means of adaptation. These markets, like property and insurance, naturally adjust prices to reflect changing risks, such as declining property values in areas prone to storm surges. However, government subsidies for programs like flood or crop insurance distort these signals, leading to maladaptive behavior. The crucial role of government, according to the authors, is not to dictate energy policy or impose taxes, but to provide accurate, transparent, and timely data on climate variables like rainfall and temperature, enabling markets to make informed decisions. The experiences of Alaskan Native Villages (ANV) illustrate the importance of local control and human ingenuity in adaptation, which external regulations have often hindered. The book emphasizes the need for pragmatism in addressing climate change, echoing Bjorn Lomborg's argument for sensible investments in areas like public health (e.g., malaria control) that yield greater returns than attempts to halt climate change altogether. Ultimately, Adapt and Be Adept posits that empowering individuals and communities with accurate information and minimal market distortion will unleash the human capacity to adapt and prosper in a changing climate. 1873 ABORIGINES
