We get a check-in from the Pest Nest. We see how an infant Michael is so much like his father, according to Anna. Sits around, drools, sleeps a good amount. Like Smuggar Duggar like son. We get an update on the Taco Lot and watch Anna getting a view of her potential future by taking care of a gaggle of children by herself. In our Dig, we review the US justice system's response to Pest's 2255 Motion. Last week we got to watch one Duggar male get exposed on how useless he can be. This week we got to hear the Country's Legal System, explain thoroughly and repeatedly how another Duggar's arguments are not only untimely, but also lacking any semblance of merit.

In this episode of The Evergreen Thumb, guest Todd Murray joins host Erin Hoover to discuss how climate change is affecting garden pests. He explains that "pests" are defined by their interactions with humans and tend to thrive in disturbed environments, often reproducing rapidly. Climate change, especially shifting rainfall patterns and warmer temperatures, is stressing plants, making them more vulnerable to native and non-native pests such as beetles and aphids. Resources mentioned in this episode, along with a full transcript, can be found on our website.

We join a fair number of projects, and we often help teams bring their project up to our standard. This means bringing a lot of the same small pieces from project to project.In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we rethink our “project standard” repo. Instead of a full Laravel skeleton, we propose a composable library of tool-specific, versioned configs (PHPUnit, Docker, etc.). We walk through the benefits for greenfield and legacy work, open questions about test organization, and how this approach scales as tools evolve.(00:00) - Why we keep our tooling current (00:15) - The “project standard” repo is aging (01:30) - Reference guide vs installable skeleton (02:30) - Supporting old and new stacks (versions, tags) (03:30) - Pivot: organize by tool and version, not app (04:30) - Example plan: folders for PHPUnit 11/12 (and beyond) (05:15) - What belongs where? Tests, traits, and context (10:00) - Docker-first thinking; where Horizon config lives (11:15) - Open questions: PHPUnit vs Pest vs “testing” folder (12:15) - Takeaway: evolve the repo as the tools evolve (12:45) - Silly bit Want help making your project as organized as one of our projects?

From a wrong-number job interview to running two Bay Area branches and finally launching his own shop, Josh Fleenor lays out how Pest Pros grew from two trucks to a regional force—anchored in multifamily, a “whatever it takes (the right way)” culture, and promoting leaders early so the company can scale without breaking. You'll hear the origin story, the first-year sprint to $747k, the blue-ocean play in property management, and how hugs, hard conversations, and clear guardrails keep the team winning year after year. You'll hear: The misdial that led to pest control, five years at Clark, and the leap after a dissolved partnership.Why multifamily became the beachhead—and how value + pricing flipped “dirt-cheap” accounts into real margin.The year-one LinkedIn blitz, $700k booked in property management, and testing channels by turning Google off.Culture in practice: “no excuses, find a way,” hugs and vulnerability, and guardrails so “whatever it takes” doesn't burn families out.Hiring slow for core values, promoting early to build leadership layers, and a structure that rotates HQ leaders into satellite offices.Tech & tools: cautious AI (great for SOPs, not for phones—yet), contests, and experiences that bond the team.

Ep 231 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into generational food debates, Boston's rodeo revival, and Texas' fight against an invasive pest — with plenty of banter along the way. First up: A viral reel sparks debate about seed oils and generational food culture. An "almond daughter" confronts her "seed oil grandmother" about pantry staples, but the comment section isn't having it. Natalie and Tara explore how different generations relate to food, why we're so divided on nutrition, and whether we've optimized ourselves into confusion. Then, the rodeo returns to Boston for the first time in nearly 100 years — complete with skyscrapers, city hall plaza, and plenty of PETA protesters. The hosts discuss the logistics of transforming downtown into a rodeo arena, why animal activists are so vocal about rodeos, and whether this cultural moment will stick around. Next, Bose drops a butter-yellow Bluetooth speaker packaged like a stick of butter, and the marketing genius (or missed opportunity) has everyone talking. Plus, a quick debrief on Steven McBee heading to BravoCon and what that means for ag's crossover into mainstream entertainment. Finally, Texas agriculture faces a new threat: the cotton jassid, an invasive leaf hopper spreading fast from Florida to the cotton belt. Tara talks to a local cotton farmer about what this pest could mean for the multi-billion dollar industry — and why Georgia growers are already devastated. BUT WAIT — there's more! Stick around for a bonus mini-interview with Jeff Risley, Executive Director of the Renewable Energy Farmers of America (REFA). If you've ever considered solar, wind, or any renewable project on your farm, this conversation is a must-listen. Jeff breaks down peer-to-peer resources, lease negotiations, succession planning, and how REFA helps farmers make informed decisions about long-term energy opportunities.

Prayer isn't just quiet reflection — it's action, persistence, and bringing our deepest needs before God. Drawing from Luke's Gospel, Pastor Kirt reminded us that Jesus invites us to pray with “shameless persistence,” knocking on heaven's door again and again. Like the friends who tore open a roof to reach Jesus, we're called to bring our burdens and the burdens of others boldly to Him. Even in life's sudden crises and uncertainties, God promises His presence, His Spirit, and His ultimate healing. This message encourages us to discern what truly matters and to persist in prayer, trusting that God hears and responds.

Katalin meg is jegyezte, hogy a vendégek imádják az új ízeket.En: The following week, the roastery went quite well; Katalin even noted that the guests loved the new flavors.Hu: István hátulról figyelte, ahogy Katalin eladja az első zacskókat az új keverékből.En: István watched from the back as Katalin sold the first bags of the new blend.Hu: A vásárlók elismerő szavai és Katalin képesítése biztosította Istvánt.En: The customers' words of appreciation and Katalin's competence reassured István.Hu: István megtanulta, hogy néha másokra is támaszkodnia kell.En: István learned that sometimes he too needs to rely on others.Hu: A bizalom és a család iránti elköteleződés mindig segít áthidalni a nehézségeket.En: Trust and commitment to family always help bridge difficulties.Hu: Ahogy az őszi naplemente bearanyozta Budapest utcáit, István megnyugodva feltartotta fejét.En: As the autumn sunset gilded the streets of Budapest, István held his head up high with a sense of peace.Hu: Katalin mellett látta, hogy a pörkölő immár jó kezekben van, és ő maga is békében volt a döntéseivel.En: Seeing Katalin next to him, he realized that the roasting café was now in good hands and he was at peace with his decisions.

Sika (cervus nippon) is a mid-sized deer that was introduced to Ireland in the 1860s to the Powerscourt Estate. Soon after that, it started spreading across Ireland. Today, the main concentrations of sika are in Kerry, Wicklow, Tyrone and Fermanagh. More recently, it has also been found in Waterford, Galway, Limerick, and Wexford. The National Biodiversity Data Centre in Ireland lists sika as an invasive species. Despite that, it's afforded protection under the Wildlife Act. It is prized by hunters as a game species and a source of excellent quality venison on the one hand, and hated by foresters and environmentalists for the damage to forestry and biodiversity on the other.Sika is present on the entire European continent and, although not as widespread as in Ireland, it is also causing similar problems. This is reflected in the recent move by the European Commission to launch consultations to put sika on the Invasive Alien Species (IAS) list across the Union. This poses the obvious question: what does it mean for the Irish population of sika if the EC makes such a decision? Will or should it be allowed continuous protection with open and closed hunting seasons? Or should it be reduced to the status of vermin and be eradicated across the country? To discuss the potential future of sika deer in Ireland and present a whole spectrum of views about this species, and invasive species more generally, I spoke with four expert guests presenting different views on the subject. By listening to this episode you will hear from Professor Jaimie T.A. Dick who specialises in Invasion Ecology, Eoghan Daltun an award-winning author who has spent last 15 years regenerating an Irish Atlantic rainforest, Damien Hannigan a Government Appointee to the Irish Deer Management Forum and Public Relations Officer at the Irish Deer Commission, and Professor of Wildlife Restoration Ecology, Adam T.

Summoned to visit a local business owner, our heroes find his troubles to be of the insectoid variety. Kardain's pilgrimage leaves him unsated. Zara does her father's bidding. Verrol sneaks out.

In this episode, I sat down with Zuby to talk about the deeper side of entrepreneurship, confidence, culture, and what it means to build a meaningful life in today's world. We got into AI hype vs reality, why the health system is failing men, the societal pressure against family, and how confidence, not intelligence, is often the key to success. If you're thinking long term about wealth, health, or raising a family, this one's worth your time.

Aug. 21, 2025- This summer a quarantine zone for the European Cherry Fruit Fly was expanded in central New York so we explore the danger of this threat with Kevin Bittner, orchard manager at Bittner Singer Orchards.

It's double-length episode time! TLC has put together another round of Q&A, pulling questions from folks on video and twitter. We do have to question their choice of interview area setup. They put up a background and then proceeded to film with only half of it in the shot. With the family taking a barrage of questions about how they operate, we get treated to another recitation of their memorized script that they all learn so well. We also both agree that Lego Hair's "I'm imparting wisdom" voice is super annoying. They end with Lego making a "big announcement". In the update(totally not a mini dig or anything haha), Whitney guides us through Pest's last chance effort to have his court case thrown out. Just be aware, the claims he made have more holes in them than his prison-issued undies. Enjoy what you hear? Would you like to support our summertime puzzle habit in Glendale, Arizona?

Maria Sorrentino started as a tech while studying social work and went on to build Pest Pros in Kalamazoo—plus Hive Nine and the “Lead People Manage Stuff” workshops. The Blue-Collar Twins dig into how she hires, pays, and develops people, why peer groups changed her trajectory, and the faith-driven mission that keeps her scaling without losing the heart of the business. It's a field-tested blueprint for owners who believe culture and accountability win long term. You'll hear: The “part-time is a lie” origin story and why pest control is a marketable, problem-solving trade.How she worked every role—tech to termite inspector to operator—and why being a people-first leader beats being a “bug nerd.”Comp & culture: the “altruism base” (paid non-billable hours), commission hygiene, and building a team that actually likes accountability.The Top-100 epiphany that expanded her vision—and how a 100-mile service radius actually works.Peer pressure, the good kind: inside “The Eagle's Nest” where owners open P&Ls and leave with bruises (and breakthroughs).Why Hive Nine & “Lead People Manage Stuff” were built for leadership benches—not just owners.

Justin and I break down how to build real wealth starting with just 10K and no pedigree. We walk through starting boring businesses, raising capital with nothing but grit, and scaling through smart delegation and structure. We also get into how I acquired Somewhere.com and why building a media engine isn't just about attention, it's about leverage. If you're serious about business and want to skip the noise, this one's worth your time.

For three decades, Alina Stevens' family business got “we want to buy you” letters almost daily—then in 2024, she finally said yes. In this candid conversation, Alina walks the Blue-Collar Twins through scaling All Pro Pest from ~25 to ~50 employees, choosing a buyer who kept the team (only one person left), and the emotional gear-shift from making every decision to consulting while the new owner hums along. It's a masterclass in female leadership inside a family company, statewide routing without extra branches, and knowing when to let the kids “go to college.” You'll hear: The moment “sell” went from never to now—and why employee continuity was the deal-breaker.How she modernized ops: true-mobile routing, GPS/cameras, and ditching IVR hell to stay customer-first.Lessons as a woman owner winning respect on job sites by knowing the craft cold.Why growth means you're never “over the mountain,” and how to communicate for buy-in (not just talk).Life after close: the ego hit of “they don't need me”… and the freedom to ask what's next.

The New World screwworm has cattle ranchers, entomologists, and the federal government on edge. The pest was successfully eradicated from the US decades ago, but has recently been moving north from South America into Central America and Mexico, with concerns that it may cross the border into Texas. It's notorious for laying eggs in the wounds of animals and slowly eating them from the inside out. Host Flora Lichtman speaks with entomologist Sonja Swiger about past efforts to get rid of the New World screwworm, and why that process involves dropping millions of bugs out of airplanes.Guest: Dr. Sonja Swiger is an entomologist and professor at Texas A&M in Stephenville, Texas.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
