KI im Einkauf: Mit Thomas Brunner und Selina Gärtner   KI im Einkauf ist für viele Mittelständler noch ein blinder Fleck – dabei steckt hier einer der wirkungsvollsten Hebel für die Bottom Line. Thomas Brunner, Einkaufsberater und KI-Strategieberater im Koerting Institute, erklärt, wo Einkaufsprozesse im Mittelstand typischerweise haken, warum der direkte Einkauf oft besser aufgestellt ist als der indirekte, und wie der AI-Design-Sprint in ein bis zwei Tagen konkrete Anwendungsfälle liefert. Wer verstehen will, warum Tool-first-Ansätze scheitern und wie Problem-first-Denken echte ROI-Sicherheit bringt, sollte reinhören.   Vom Sportmode-Einkäufer zum KI-Strategieberater – Thomas Brunners Weg Thomas Brunner hat das Thema Einkauf von der Pike auf gelernt: Über 15 Jahre verantwortete er internationale Beschaffung und Produktmanagement in einem mittelständischen Unternehmen der Sportmode- und Funktionstextilbranche. Danach wechselte er in die Beratung – zunächst im Change-Management, dann als Partner eines spezialisierten Franchise-Netzwerks für Einkaufsoptimierung im Mittelstand. Die logische Weiterentwicklung war die KI: Als ChatGPT im November 2022 erschien, erkannte er das Potenzial, nahm zunächst eine Ausbildung als AI-Trainer und entschied sich dann für die KI-Strategieberatung im Koerting Institute. Sein Kernargument: Er kommt nicht von der technischen, sondern von der kaufmännischen Seite – und genau diese Brücke zwischen betriebswirtschaftlicher Problemkenntnis und technischer Umsetzung fehlt vielen Unternehmen.   Direkter vs. indirekter Einkauf – wo wirklich Geld versickert Im direkten Einkauf, also allem, was direkt in die Herstellung fließt, sind Mittelständler laut Brunner noch vergleichsweise gut aufgestellt – oft abgebildet in ERP-Systemen, mit klaren Prozessen. Kritisch wird es beim indirekten Einkauf: alles unter den sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen, von Verpackungen über Logistik bis zu Büromaterial. Dort kann ein produzierendes Unternehmen schnell 40 bis 50 verschiedene Ausgabenkategorien ansammeln. Brunner hat Unternehmen erlebt, die 20 oder 30 verschiedene Lieferanten allein für Büromaterial hatten. Im Longtail – viele Artikel, viele Lieferanten, wenig Ausgaben – herrscht häufig das, was er diplomatisch als „Wildwuchs" bezeichnet. Auch der direkte Einkauf hat Schwachstellen: Die manuelle Verarbeitung von Auftragsbestätigungen ist ein klassischer Zeitfresser, der gleichzeitig Produktionsstillstände riskiert.   Strategischer Einkauf: Drei Hebel, die den Unterschied machen Viele Mittelständler betreiben laut Brunner eigentlich nur Disposition – sie wissen, was sie brauchen, und bestellen. Echter strategischer Einkauf geht weiter: Erstens eine saubere Bedarfsanalyse mit Kategorisierung der Ausgaben (Category Management). Zweitens ein bewusstes Lieferantenportfolio mit Ausschreibungen, Verhandlungen und Rahmenverträgen für vorteilhafte Konditionen und gesicherte Lieferfähigkeit. Drittens eine systematische Risikobetrachtung – besonders relevant angesichts der Ereignisse der letzten Jahre: Corona, Ukraine-Krieg, Iran-Konflikt, Straße von Hormus, Zollpolitik. Brunner nennt das konkrete Beispiel eines Mineralwasserabfüllers, dessen Natronpreise für die Flaschenreinigung plötzlich durch die Decke gingen – ein bis dahin irrelevanter Posten wurde zum echten Kostenfaktor, der die Bottom Line gefährdete.   Problem-first statt Tool-first – und der AI-Design-Sprint als Abkürzung Brunners zentrales Credo: Vom Problem herkommen, nicht vom Tool. Er erlebt regelmäßig Kunden, die 50 Copilot-Lizenzen gekauft haben und dann fragen, was sie damit anfangen sollen. Sein Gegenmodell ist der AI-Design-Sprint – ein hochstrukturiertes Format mit Elementen aus Design Thinking und dem Google Design Sprint, das in ein bis zwei Tagen mit allen Prozessbeteiligten durchgeführt wird. Das Herzstück: Time-Boxing, eine Divergenzphase zur kreativen Ideenfindung und eine Konvergenzphase zur Priorisierung – mit rund 30 bis 40 vorgegebenen Fragen, die alle Facetten des Problems durchleuchten. Das Ergebnis: konkrete, beschriebene Anwendungsfälle und oft direkt ein Prototyp zum Anfassen. Vorkenntnisse in KI sind bei den Teilnehmern nicht erforderlich – nur Prozesskenntnis und die Bereitschaft, sich einzulassen. Kunden reagieren laut Brunner regelmäßig überrascht, wie viel in so kurzer Zeit entsteht.   Fazit: Der digitale Zwilling des strategischen Einkäufers – eine Vision für drei Jahre Change-Management ist kein Anhang, sondern Teil des Formats: Weil alle Prozessbeteiligten von Anfang an eingebunden sind, entsteht Partizipation statt Widerstand – die eigene Lösung, nicht ein externer Blueprint. Für den Mittelstand sieht Brunner die Jobangst durch KI übrigens als weniger dramatisch als oft dargestellt: Einkaufsabteilungen sind dort eher unterbesetzt und überlastet, nicht überbesetzt. Dazu kommt der demografische Wandel – die Babyboomer-Generation verlässt den Arbeitsmarkt, in Deutschland werden in den nächsten Jahren vier bis fünf Millionen Personen ausscheiden. Seine Vision für die nächsten drei Jahre nennt er den „Digitalen Zwilling des strategischen Einkäufers": ein KI-System, ein sogenannter AI Procurement Hub, der strategische Einkaufsaufgaben übernimmt und mittelständischen Unternehmen ermöglicht, ihren Einkauf auf Topniveau zu führen – ohne teures Spezialpersonal und ohne massive Systeminvestitionen.   Das nimmst du mit: • Indirekter Einkauf ist im Mittelstand oft komplett vernachlässigt – mit 40 bis 50 Ausgabenkategorien und teils 20 bis 30 Lieferanten für eine einzige Kategorie liegt hier das größte ungehobene Einsparpotenzial. • Strategischer Einkauf bedeutet drei Dinge: saubere Bedarfsanalyse, bewusstes Lieferantenportfolio und systematisches Risikomanagement – gerade geopolitische Ereignisse machen Lieferketten zur Chefsache. • Wer erst ein Tool kauft und dann ein passendes Problem sucht, riskiert teure Frustrationsprojekte – der richtige Weg führt immer vom konkreten Problem zur technischen Lösung. • Der AI-Design-Sprint liefert in ein bis zwei Tagen beschriebene Anwendungsfälle und einen greifbaren Prototyp – ohne KI-Vorkenntnisse bei den Teilnehmern, aber mit hoher Prozesskenntnis im Raum. • Mitarbeiter im Mittelstand-Einkauf müssen KI weniger fürchten als oft angenommen: Unterbesetzung, Überstunden und der demografische Wandel sprechen eher für Entlastung als für Jobverlust. • Der „Digitale Zwilling des strategischen Einkäufers" ist Thomas Brunners Leitbild für die nächsten drei Jahre – ein KI-gestützter AI Procurement Hub, der strategischen Einkauf für den Mittelstand zugänglich macht.

Having worked with Westin for 9 years he is currently head of marketing with Mikado in UK and Ireland.We chat about the Predator Battle competion which is been held on Lough Erne this year. Having competed in it last year Andy in well placed to give advice and tactics for fishing a competition like this.We also chat about Andys recent trip to Poland, where he managed to catch Zander and a huge Catfish on a very exclusive lake.Exploring the Donegal Coast Andy also got a taste for saltwater fishing where he succesfully targets Wrassse, Pollack and Bass.Be sure to check this episode out.

As of the release of this episode, Christa Pike remains scheduled to be executed by lethal injection by the State of Tennessee on September 30, 2026. If that status changes or new information becomes available, we will update accordingly.  Interested in going to the Netherlands with us? Scroll to the bottom for info. Little Devil: Christa Pike  On the evening of January 12, 1995, Christa Pike stepped into the room of her friend Kim Iloilo at the Knoxville Job Corps Center and casually announced that she, her boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, their friend Shadolla Peterson, and Colleen Slemmer were heading out to smoke marijuana. The combination immediately struck Kim as odd. Christa hated Colleen. So why, suddenly, were they going anywhere together? When Kim questioned her, Christa simply smiled, winked, and walked away. A little more than two hours later, at approximately 10:15 p.m., Kim saw Christa, Tadaryl, and Shadolla return to the center. Colleen did not return.  What had happened during those missing hours would become one of the most brutal murder cases in Tennessee history and a pending execution that is slated to happen on September 30, 2026. If the execution happens this month, she will be the first woman executed by the state of Tennessee since 1820.

In this week's episode, Starfleet commandeers the USS Enterprise for an alien pursuit that quickly escalates far beyond its original mission. We'll dive into the story, character moments, Trek lore connections, standout performances, Easter eggs, theories, and what this means for the rest of the season. 【1-e89ffe】

"Orders of Magnitude."In the second-to-last episode of Strange New Worlds' fourth season, Admiral Reeger (Joe Morton) takes command of the U.S.S. Enterprise on a chase to track down a ship that killed five million Federation citizens, including his family. James Kirk, on vacation from the Farragut, is temporarily assigned as first officer. They track the ship down, but what ensues is a potential planetwide genocide. Meanwhile, on a nearby planet, Pike and a landing party are taken prisoner by a group of Andorian mercenaries, and it is up to Uhura to save the day.

When Captain Pike is on an away mission and Admiral Reeger swoops in to commandeer the Enterprise, it's to everyone's surprise when they find themselves caught in a Crimson Tide scenario. But after Asha starts turning into a massive Swarovski paperweight, Pike tries to negotiate with a nameless Andorian who at least has no problem naming a price. Who's cultivating spittle? What bridge crew member is keeping it 100 on the Bechdel test? Can anyone actually name all the General Orders? It's the episode that's sponsored by TAG Heuer.Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experienceSign up for our mailing listGet a thing at podshop.bizGreatest Trek is hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr Harrison The show is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Instagram | BlueskyAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.socialSupport the production of Greatest Trek Hosted on Acast.

Volvo says the deal grows retailer sales and service revenue without the financial risk of investing in the brand — notable given it sold its 30% Lynk & Co stake to Zeekr for 5.4 billion yuan (about $805m).VOLVO DROPS EX40 AS EX50 EXPECTED IN 2027Volvo is discontinuing the EX40 in the US and Canada, with its expected replacement, the slightly larger EX50 on the cheaper SPA3 platform and priced in the high $40,000s, not due at dealerships until autumn 2027. The EX40 rode on the near decade-old CMA platform and sold best through the Care by Volvo subscription scheme that ended in 2024; the EX60 P6 now marks Volvo's electric SUV entry point at $59,795 against the EX40's $56,545.NISSAN REVIVES PIXO AS ITS MOST AFFORDABLE EUROPEAN EVNissan will revive the Pixo name for its cheapest European EV, an A-segment model sitting below the Micra and premiering on 23 September 2026, built on Renault's RGEV Small platform alongside the Twingo and Dacia Spring at Novo Mesto in Slovenia. Expected to be mechanically identical to the Twingo Electric with a 27.5 kWh CATL LFP pack and around 263 km of range, it gets Nissan-designed styling drawing on late-80s and early-90s Pike cars such as the Figaro and Be-1, against Twingo and Spring prices of €20,000 and €18,000.POLESTAR FORMULA 2030 SIGNALS POLESTAR 2 AND 7 STYLINGPolestar has revealed Formula 2030, a design concept previewing the next Polestar 2 due in 2027 and the forthcoming Polestar 7, tied to its 2030 strategy for higher sales and a route to profitability. Only a dark image of the front has been released, showing a lower, wider stance, Dual Blade headlights and a motorsport-style vertical wiper, marking a new phase under design head Philipp Römers that Polestar calls an evolution rather than a replacement of its existing language.MERCEDES VLE 400 4MATIC STARTS AT €78,500Mercedes-Benz has added the 310 kW VLE 400 4MATIC, which gains a rear-axle motor for all-wheel drive, a 6.5-second 0-100 km/h time and 2.5 tonnes of towing against the VLE 300's 1.75 tonnes, from €78,500 (about $91,500) with five seats or €79,000 with six. The performance costs range: both share a 115 kWh usable NMC pack, but the 4MATIC manages up to 654 km WLTP versus 713 km, with 800-volt architecture allowing DC charging at up to 300 kW.AMAZON STARTS EACTROS 600 DELIVERIES IN GERMANYAmazon has begun larger-scale German deliveries with Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric trucks on middle-mile runs between logistics centres and urban areas, drawn from a 2025 order of more than 200 trucks — around 50 for Germany and 140 for the UK, where operations started in late 2025. The trucks carry 621 kWh across three LFP packs for around 500 km of range and charge at up to 400 kW, as Amazon installs several hundred truck charging points and commits more than €1bn to electrifying its European transport network, including over €400m in Germany.RENAULT SETS TWO-YEAR FLOOR FOR VEHICLE DEVELOPMENTRenault is targeting two years or less from concept freeze to public reveal but CEO Francois Provost says it will go no faster, treating the timetable as a quality floor as well as a speed ambition under the Futuready 2030 investor plan. The aim is to match Chinese rivals gaining European share — standard at two years and moving towards 18 months, against three to five years for Western rivals — while avoiding defects and recalls, a concern echoed by Chinese regulators now running a yearlong campaign of unannounced quality and safety inspections.FORD TRANSIT CITY TO COST $50,000 IN AUSTRALIAFord Australia will launch the Transit City in November at AUD$50,000 driveaway (about USD$36,000), claiming the country's most affordable electric van against the Kia PV5 Cargo Long Range at AUD$55,990, with a 56 kWh LFP battery giving 254 km WLTP, 87 kW DC charging, 10-80% in about 33 minutes, a 1085 kg payload and 6.4 cubic metres of cargo space. The price comes with limits — no towing, no V2L, a solid bulkhead with no pass-through or window and colour as the only option — and the van is built by JV partner JMC in Nanchang on the E-Fushun platform rather than being related to the European Transit.BYD UK OPENS 138-SITE APPROVED REPAIR NETWORKBYD UK has launched a nationwide network of 138 approved body repairers developed with Vizion Network, which BYD describes as the UK's largest repair network. Every site uses technicians trained in BYD procedures, genuine parts and manufacturer-specified methods, adding accident repair to an ownership package that already includes a six-year warranty, maintenance support and up to four years of free roadside assistance.ZF PLANS MORE THAN 100 ELECTRIC AXLE DRIVE REPAIR-KIT VARIANTSZF will launch more than 100 repair-kit variants for electric axle drives in the coming weeks, each bundling the components needed for a specific repair as the company targets independent workshops servicing a growing EV fleet, though it has disclosed neither prices nor vehicle applications and has not substantiated its claim to cover around 92% of the European fleet of the 20 most widespread electric models. ZF also plans up to 200 catalogue references for Chinese-brand vehicles in Europe by Q1 2027, covering ten of the most popular Chinese models by the end of that year.

The Live Long and Podcast crew continues its coverage of Strange New Worlds Season 4 with Episode 8, "Orders of Magnitude." When Admiral Reeger commandeers the U.S.S. Enterprise to pursue a mysterious alien vessel, what begins as a routine Starfleet operation quickly grows into a mission far beyond its original authorization.

It's the soap opera episode. It's better than the puppet episode but not actually good. Season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is killing Anika and Liz's will to live, one gimmick at a time. Why is SNW doing a soap opera episode? It doesn't seem to be out of great love and respect for the genre… Anson Mount is a much better character actor than leading man, and they should stop putting him in a leading man box "Pike knows it's fake because he has already lived a soap opera" is a damning indictment of the third season finale Imagine if Uhura ever got to have a storyline in her own right where she gets to be a competent adult Deidre Hall understands the assignment Take a drink every time one of us says, "It was rough" "What an amazing idea that you did nothing with. Again."

Trelane turns the Enterprise into a soap opera for a school project, and only Pike notices. Dom Bettinelli, Jimmy Akin, and Fr. Jason Tyler ask whether *Strange New Worlds* S4E7 survives a five-minute bit stretched to an hour.

Send us Fan MailNobody's lazy. Nobody's sitting on the sidelines. Everyone is pulling their weight — and somehow, nothing is moving forward. If that sounds familiar, it's not an effort problem. It's a direction problem.This week's Monday Morning Motivation tells the story of the Swan, the Pike, and the Crab — an old fable about three strong, capable characters who all try to move the same cart, and all pull it a different way. It's one of the simplest explanations you'll ever hear for why hard work alone doesn't guarantee progress, why "everyone's busy" isn't the same as "everyone's aligned," and why sometimes the person pulling in three directions at once... is you.You'll walk away with one question to ask this week that can tell you, almost instantly, whether your effort is actually building something — or just wearing everyone out.

Manipulada por Trelane, a Enterprise vira palco de uma novela, que esconde um drama real para o capitão Pike. Nossa equipe discute “Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass”, sétimo episódio da quarta temporada de Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. O post TB ao VIVO | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – “Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass” (4×07) apareceu primeiro em Trek Brasilis.

Don’t catch the Space Madness, because it’s time to talk about the latest episode of “Strange New Worlds,” in which Trelane puts the Enterprise (except Pike) into a soap opera! Once again, we’re genre hopping—but is “Q episode” not a tried-and-true Trek genre? And does this not emotionally serve Pike, who recently survived a “life-in-a-day” episode of his own? Get your popcorn ready and watch out for evil twins. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Join us this week this Thursday at 6.30pm PT  / 9.30pm PT for our review of Star Trek Strange New Worlds 407 Like Chronitons through the Hourglass : A temporal anomaly traps the crew inside a soap-opera reality while Pike confronts a life he lost....Send us Fan MailSupport the show

On this episode, Tee and Pike talk about sex in relation to expressing wants and needs through communication before and during a session. They also dive into interesting conversation about their own ways of communicating sexual needs, being talked through a nut, and the shame surrounding expressing desire. I hope you enjoy xx

Disaster strikes the Enterprise in two different ways this week on Transporter Room 3, with our reviews of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "Off-Hour" and "Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass."The former is "24 meets The Poseidon Adventure" in space, and the latter puts Pike and his crew into a soap opera. No, really. One we really liked, the other we have some questions about. News wise? We have a small update on what could be the next Star Trek movie, which seems to be going in a very Crimson Tide direction. We also stop by the Replimat and prep another photon tube for this week's Red Shirt. So watch out for slipstream wormholes and listen now!

The Old Regular Baptists are among the oldest religious denominations in Appalachia. In 1825, the New Salem Association formed from eight Baptist churches in Pike, Floyd, Perry, and Harlan Counties, considered to be the first official association in eastern Kentucky. Old Regular Baptist theology evolved throughout the nineteenth century, including the rejection of missionary societies and Sunday Schools, and the development of unique religious practices such as foot washing and “lined-out” singing. Join us today for a discussion with two researchers who have studied the history of the Old Regular Baptists and their influence on the religious landscape of Kentucky, Appalachia, and the United States. Brittany Goetting is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Pikeville. Her research focuses on late eighteenth and early nineteenth century North American religious print culture. Her article, "“And She Threw in Two Mites”: Maine and Canadian Maritime Female Baptist Voluntary Societies and the Development of Religious Community, 1800–1830," was recently published with the Bulletin of the Canadian Baptist Historical Society. Her chapter on the evolution of Baptist ministerial education in Northern New England and the Canadian Maritimes will be released in a collaborative work with other religious historians with Mercer University Press in Spring 2027. Jeff Little is a retired high school teacher, Old Regular Baptist minister, and assistant clerk of the Union Association of Old Regular Baptist, a position he has held since 2016. Recognized as an area expert on Old Regular Baptist history, he brings both lived experience and careful historical interest to the study of the faith tradition. He was also co-compiler of From a Long Series of Experiences: Select Circular Letters of the Union Association, a work that helps preserve and share important historical writings from the association. Jeffrey is currently working on a research project with Brittany Goetting exploring aspects of Old Regular Baptist history and heritage. His perspective reflects a deep commitment to preserving the stories, practices, and religious life of the Old Regular Baptist community. Hosted by Dr. Allen A. Fletcher, associate editor of The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and coordinator of our Research Fellows program, which brings in researchers from across the world to conduct research in the rich archival holdings of the Kentucky Historical Society. https://history.ky.gov/khs-for-me/for-researchers/research-fellowships Kentucky Chronicles is presented by the Kentucky Historical Society, with support from the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation. history.ky.gov/about/khs-foundation This episode was recorded and produced by Gregory Hardison, with support and guidance from Dr. Stephanie Lang.

Send us Fan MailAfter a slightly longer than planned break - we're back and joining me on today's episode of The English Wine Diaries are Adrian and Galia Pike from Westwell Wines in Kent. Their small, family-run winery sits beneath the Pilgrims Way and has about 70 acres under vine across two sites with plantings of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Regent and their signature grape, Ortega.  Before turning to English winemaking, Adrian and Galia both had successful careers in music. Adrian co-founded the influential independent record label Moshi Moshi, launching artists including Florence and the Machine and Hot Chip before setting up the state 51 conspiracy, a digital music agency championing independent labels and artists. Meanwhile Galia was one half of the multi-award-winning electronic duo Psapp, best known for writing the Grey's Anatomy theme tune. However, an encounter with a glass of English still wine made by organic producer Will Davenport sparked the journey that led them to Westwell in 2017 and they now grow, make and bottle all their wines on site using minimal intervention and, where possible, wild yeast fermentations that express the individuality of Westwell's Kentish terroir.Adrian's experimental, instinctive approach to winemaking and commitment to authenticity have made him one of the most innovative voices in English wine. Galia meanwhile brings her design background to Westwell's distinctive visual identity, creating intricate, monochromatic illustrations inspired by microscopic details of the winemaking process on the labels. Their philosophy is simple: plant well, respect the soil and make great, honest wines from brilliant fruit. They also want to make English wine fun and accessible – and this ethos was recently recognised when they were awarded the inaugural Small Cellar Door Award at this year's WineGB awards.  Find out more about the by following @westwellwines or visit westwellwines.com.Thanks to English Wine Diaries series sponsor Rankin Bros & Sons — trusted suppliers of corks, closures, and packaging solutions to the UK wine industry since 1774.

Anika and Liz face an unexpected emergency situation: a ... good episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?  We're discussing "Off Hour", and in a shocking twist -- we like it! Pike does some good captaining AND spends a big chunk of the episode unconscious! Erica has real command potential! Scotty/Enterprise slow burn coworkers to lovers SNW takes Christine Chapel's rather sexist 1960s backstory and persona (she joined Starfleet to find her lost fiancé! She's hung up on a guy who isn't interested!) and goes, "What if she's not the tragic spinster, but a woman who is absolutely unhinged in her dedication to the people she loves?"  In short, we are not here to be normal about Christine and Joseph's platonic codependent relationship Let! Christine! Have! An! Axe! All! The! Time! Okay, we just said that Christine and Joseph were platonic, but we have to ask: have they hooked up?

Roy Stemman, former editor of Psychic News, is author of Spirits and Spirit Worlds, Reincarnation: True Stories of Past Lives, Spirit Communication, One Soul Many Lives, Mysteries of the Universe, Healers and Healing, Medium Rare: The Psychic Life of Ena Twigg, and (with George Chapman) Surgeon From Another World. Here he describes the relationship between the British spiritualist movement and the Anglican Church, beginning with a report commissioned by the Church in the 1930s. In 1967, the Episcopal Bishop of California, James Pike, publicly reported on his communications with his deceased son through the mediumship of Ena Twigg in London. Pike gave up his position as Bishop to pursue other studies, including after-death communication. Later, in a dramatic event, he became lost in the desert in Israel. After his death, but before his body was discovered, he appeared in spirit to Ena Twigg. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.

Logistics entrepreneur and billionaire Klaus-Michael Kühne died this week at the age of 89. He was one of the richest Germans. Born in Hamburg and majority owner of the shipping company Kühne & Nagel, he knew the family business from scratch. He showed his connection to his hometown not only as a patron of the soccer Bundesliga club HSV, but also in his financial commitment of 330 million euros to build a new opera. This passion also shaped his friendship with the Melbourne entrepreneur Hans Henkell, whose Australian Opera Grant paved the way for many young talents to join the State Theatre in Wiesbaden. Hans Henkell remembers Klaus-Michael Kühne - Logistikunternehmer und Milliardär Klaus-Michael Kühne verstarb diese Woche im Alter von 89 Jahren. Er war einer der reichsten Deutschen. Der gebürtige Hamburger und Mehrheits-Eigentümer der Speditionsfirma Kühne & Nagel kannte das Familiengeschäft von der Pike auf. Seine Verbundenheit mit seiner Heimatstadt zeigte er nicht nur als Mäzen des Fußballbundesliga-Vereins HSV, sondern auch bei seinem finanziellen Einsatz von 330 Millionen Euro für den Bau einer neuen Oper. Diese Leidenschaft prägte auch seine Freundschaft zu dem Melbourner Unternehmer Hans Henkell, dessen Australian Opera Grant manchem jungen Talent den Weg an das Staatstheater in Wiesbaden geebnet hat. Hans Henkell erinnert sich an Klaus-Michael Kuehne

Anika and Liz, very much against their better judgement, watch The Puppet Episode. Yes, it's Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' "Level Five Transporter Accident", and we are using words like "I regret having a Star Trek podcast" and "it's a crime against humanity".  Hey, it's not as offensive as "Four and a Half Vulcans" Anika talks about the ancient art of puppetry, commedia dell'arte and Punch and Judy This episode does not understand the point of the "leave one human and the rest of the characters are played by Muppets" meme In fairness, it also does not understand why Muppets are funny The "joke" about Pike's chair This is the third episode of the season where Spock is seeing things Spock: what is wrong with this allegedly grown man  "My girlfriend has been having a hard time and I did not reach out to support her, why did she break up with me?" "So all of that happened for no reason." La'an the reverse Pinocchio (not even the first woman in SNW who aspires to become an object!) Liz got so irate she gestured violently and knocked over her water bottle. We are not good at podcasting. We are sorry.   Manchild instrumental by Janette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcpU4-auc54; song by S. Carpenter, A. Allen and J. Antonoff

Send us Fan MailJoe Lo Truglio and Rachael Harris join Open Pike Night to talk about joining Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as Orion pirates on "Level-Five Transporter Accident" — and the absolute joy and chaos of doing it with Muppets.Joe and Rachael reveal who on set they got star struck by, fanboying out on the Enterprise bridge, the incredible costumes and makeup, and getting to play characters very different from the ones they're usually known for. Joe reveals the inspiration behind his douchey LA-rocker Orion (and what aspect of him he tried to emulate in real life), while Rachael talks about her previous Star Trek: Voyager appearance—and the embarrassing photo involving her and a Pike puppet that probably shouldn't see the light of day.Send your voice hail to OPNEmail your call to openpike@gmail.comSign up for the OPN NewsletterVisit our website OpenPike.comPlease Check out our MerchSupport us on PatreonFollow @openpike on TwitterFollow @openpike.bsky.social on Blue SkyFollow OpenPike on InstagramFollow Openpike on Youtube

Who can calm a kennel with patience, skill, and care, turn a stressed-out shelter moment into something bright and fair? The Candy Man Can. Who can sort the chaos? Who can read the room? Spot the tiny signs of worry and help shelters beat the gloom? The Candy Man Can. Join the Amys and their legendary guest, Tom Candy, UK-based shelter behavior guru, professional myth-buster, and owner of what may be the most practical philosophy in animal welfare: the "Fuck It" approach. (Don't worry—it's more evidence-based than it sounds.)We dive into why shelters sometimes get stuck chasing perfection instead of getting animals into homes, why flexibility beats rigid rules, and how a little less hand-wringing can actually lead to better welfare for dogs, cats, and the people trying to help them.From behavior assessments and enrichment to adoption policies and the impossible balancing act shelters face every day, Tom reminds us that the goal isn't to create perfect animals or perfect adopters—it's to create successful matches that improve lives.Come for the British accent. Stay for the science. Leave with permission to occasionally say, "Fuck it," when perfection is getting in the way of helping animals. Grab a cocktail and pull up your knickers… it's time to get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz, courtesy of your favorite VBees

The Seattle City Council's Public Safety Committee just voted 3-1 to redirect $250,000 away from Capitol Hill's vetted CCTV camera program — diverting the funds instead to community anti-violence initiatives and "safety ambassadors." This decision came down while Capitol Hill was logging fresh shooting incidents, including a gun battle near 11th and Pike and violence spilling out of a nightclub in the same corridor where the Bite of Seattle chaos unfolded days earlier.Sean walks through the full picture: Mayor Harrell refusing to greenlight a camera system that already cleared a vetting process, Bob Kettle drawing a budget line in the sand, and activist Katie Wilson leading the push to swap surveillance for social programming in the exact neighborhood where gang members are actively shooting each other. The council's answer to a shooting surge is ambassadors, not arrests — and certainly not cameras.The pattern is the same every time. Another study. Another commission. Another feel-good program. Never prosecution, never incarceration, never the tools that actually deter open violence. Seattle is what you get when progressive theory becomes city policy — and the residents of Capitol Hill are living with the results while city hall debates the optics of cameras.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics and the stories the mainstream press won't tell straight.#NFRP #Seattle #CapitolHillGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

DSA Francesca Hong Loses Wisconsin Primary After Being Endorsed By Far-Left Hasan Piker Who Admitted He Wants To “Destroy The White Race!” Alex Jones Is LIVE On-Air Right Now Exposing Piker & The Communist Cult He Represents

In July of 1972, in the river town of Louisiana, Missouri, two little boys were playing in their backyard at the foot of Marzolf Hill when their older sister heard them start screaming. Fifteen-year-old Doris Harrison went to the bathroom window and saw something standing by a tree, six or seven feet tall, covered in black hair, with no face she could make out and something dead tucked under its arm. The town laughed at those kids for about a day and a half.Then a Pentecostal congregation of roughly fifty people heard something come down off that hill, and nobody in Pike County thought it was funny for the rest of the month.This is stop number twenty-five on the Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip, the halfway point, and it's the story of Momo, the Missouri Monster.We walk through the whole flap as it actually happened, from the picnic encounter on Highway 79 in 1971 to the Harrison sighting on July 11, 1972, to Edgar Harrison hanging bait on a tree behind his own house and sitting out in the dark waiting for whatever took his children's afternoon away from them. We cover the sick dog, the smell that runs through every account like a thread, the church meeting on the night of July 14, and Police Chief Shelby Ward putting two dozen armed men across Marzolf Hill three times and finding nothing at all.We get into the plaster casts, the three-toed track that a zoo director in Oklahoma City looked at and called a hoax, and the out-of-state investigators who camped in a family's backyard and left with a theory about flying objects that did more damage to this case than any skeptic ever managed. And we talk about what happens to a town when the newspapers show up, name your monster for you, and turn one bad July into a festival.The second half of the episode leaves Momo behind and gets into Missouri Sasquatch country, because strip the nickname and the novelty record off the Harrison case and what's left is an ordinary Sasquatch report. Missouri has produced roughly 147 catalogued encounters and has never stopped generating them.We cover a farmer near Bowling Green who came around a creek bend on a four-wheeler and found something squatting in the water thirty feet in front of him, the ongoing reports out of Cuivre River State Park and Bowling Green Lake, the night four young men sat in a Jeep near Smithville Lake and listened to the woods go quieter than any of them had ever heard, and the men out of southeast Missouri who put their names to what they saw in the Mark Twain National Forest country.Then we turn it over to the mail. Jenny was seven years old and bringing laundry off the line when the sheet in front of her moved the wrong way. Ray watched something cross a river road in front of his headlights and drove eleven miles out of his way for a year afterward without telling his wife why. Marla found tracks along a fence line and watched her husband go get a shovel and bury them.Dean sat in a deer stand and listened to the silence travel toward him. Colleen's three children came across the yard at a dead run, and the middle one said the thing at the tree line had no face, which is exactly what a fifteen-year-old girl told a newspaper thirty years before.And Wes put a light on something standing chest deep in the Mississippi at forty feet, and it didn't run.The kids saw it first.

It’s time for the next spin on the genre wheel, as “Strange New worlds” lurches from horror to comedy. Dave Foley is a weird alien with a weird pleasure planet. There’s a thin strand of plot and a Star Trek take on “The Hangover.” Pike gets a lot of tattoos! There’s Klingon karaoke! Someone’s wearing a Mugato suit! Most importantly, Scotty and Ortegas learn to understand each other and Spock bonds with an imaginary—or is he?—Jim Kirk. Also, prompted by the last two weeks’ genre whipsaw, Scott and Jason have deep thoughts about what we like, why we like it, and how we process stuff that doesn’t fit in our definition of the thing we like. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Let's talk about one of the most unexpected developments in sports right now: how did the Boston Red Sox turn their season around? Today we've got journalist Jamie McClellan on the show, who produces a podcast for the Ringer about Boston sports called Off The Pike. He's going to help us understand how the team turned what looked like a lackluster season into one that just might be worthy of a championship run.Then, we are talking to one of the biggest sports fans I know: Killer Mike. Yes, the rapper Killer Mike. If you're wondering why we're bringing a Grammy-winning musician onto this sports show, it's because he rides for Atlanta sports teams harder than anyone I know. We're going to talk to Killer Mike about why Atlanta gets a bad rap as a sports town, and why he disagrees wholeheartedly. Plus, what sports and music have in common, and offer us as a people — especially when we feel the most divided.Show Notes Listen to Killer Mike's music  Sid Bream's Iconic ‘92 Slide | MLB Deion “Prime Time” Sanders Career Mini Movie | NFL Throwback City of Atlanta doesn't deserve win | ESPN Off the Pike with Brian Barrett | Ringer NFL Show CreditsHost: David GreeneExecutive Producers: Joan Isabella, Tom GrahslerSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaTalent Booker: Britt KahnEngineers: Mike VillersTile Art: Bea WallingTheme Song: Emma MungerSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.

Pike’s crew is back in action with the fourth season of Strange New Worlds. The first two episodes take the team to unexpected places, from Jurassic Park to a ghost ship. The first episode features a stunning performance by Saffron Burrows as Battle Commander Cassell, a tragic, empathetic wartime character; while the second episode makes it hard to see the character analysis of Spock, Kirk, and La’An, through all the body horror. We appreciate the different genres that Star Trek can encompass, but maybe some are best left in the writing room. Commander Jarrod Kailef marks his maiden voyage on Transporter Lock, bringing decades of Star Trek insights to the bridge and helping to spot potential crossovers with the Transformers, Doctor Who, and Land of the Lost.

Christa Pike is an American woman convicted of a notorious 1995 murder in Tennessee. At 18, she became the youngest woman on death row in the United States. Pike, along with fellow Job Corps students, lured Colleen Slemmer to an isolated location where Pike carried out a prolonged and especially violent attack. The case gained widespread attention due to the brutality involved, including testimony that Pike kept a portion of the victim's skull. She was ultimately convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death, where she remains on Tennessee's death row.Tadaryl Shipp and Shadolla Peterson were Pike's co-defendants in the case. Both were present during the murder and were convicted for their roles, though they were considered less directly responsible for the killing itself. Shipp received a life sentence, while Peterson was convicted of being an accessory after the fact and received a significantly lighter sentence. Their involvement, along with Pike's central role, made the case one of the most disturbing and widely discussed crimes connected to the Job Corps program.linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthTimeless Mysteries - YouTubeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Christa Pike carried a piece of Colleen Slemmer's skull back to the Job Corps dorm as a souvenir, and on September 30th, 2026, Tennessee is scheduled to execute her for the murder that produced it.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/christa-pikeMusic by Shadows Symphony.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: July 09, 2026Weird Darkness host Darren Marlar traces the 1995 Job Corps murder of Colleen Slemmer, the jealousy and Satanism behind it, and the three decades of appeals, prison violence, and stalled executions that have brought Christa Pike to a September 2026 death date in Tennessee.It opens on the morning of January 13th, 1995, when a groundskeeper at the University of Tennessee Agricultural Institute outside Knoxville found a body so badly beaten he mistook it for an animal carcass — nineteen-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a Florida girl who loved computers and had taken a bus to Knoxville on Halloween of 1994 for a six-month course at the Knoxville Job Corps Center. The night before, four students had signed out together, and only three signed back in. Eighteen-year-old Christa Gail Pike, her seventeen-year-old boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, and eighteen-year-old Shadolla Peterson had lured Slemmer to a wooded stretch near an abandoned steam plant with the promise of marijuana in Tyson Park, and over roughly half an hour Pike and Shipp beat and cut her while Peterson held a flashlight. Pike carved a pentagram into Slemmer's chest while she was alive, cut her throat six times with a box cutter after pausing to check that no one was watching, threw asphalt at her head, and afterward pried loose a fragment of her skull to keep. Pike had come to believe Slemmer wanted Shipp, a jealousy Slemmer denied, and she and Shipp had bonded over Satanism and the occult; Pike wore a small devil tattoo on her chest, and searches later turned up satanic altars and occult literature in both their rooms.From there the episode follows what Pike did with the bone. She returned to campus around 11 p.m., went to her friend Kim Iloilo's room dancing and singing, and produced the skull fragment as a souvenir, warning Iloilo she would be killed too if she talked. Pike carried the piece in a napkin in her leather jacket, bragged at breakfast that she was eating with it, and showed it around class along with the blood still on her shoes and clothing — behavior that turned investigator Randy York toward her within forty-eight hours. Pike confessed in a forty-six-page recorded statement, and York described her as giddy, acting out how Slemmer had begged for her life. The episode also lays out the childhood documented in her later post-conviction filings: parents who struggled with alcohol, sexual and physical abuse by multiple people, a mother's suicide attempt she witnessed, and neurological evaluations finding structural brain abnormalities alongside later diagnoses of bipolar disorder and PTSD, none of which the jury ever heard.Next comes the trial and the long aftermath. In March 1996, before Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz in Knox County Criminal Court, Pike was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy, and on March 30th, weeks after her twentieth birthday, sentenced to death by electrocution, making her the youngest woman on death row in the modern era. Within hours she wrote Shipp an unrepentant letter framing the killing as a kindness because she had ended it quickly. Shipp, ineligible for death because he was seventeen, drew a life sentence and was denied parole in October 2025; Peterson received six years of probation. In 2001 Pike choked fellow inmate Patricia Jones with a shoestring until officers revived her, earning another twenty-five years, and around 2011 a New Jersey personal trainer named Donald Kohut and a correctional officer named Justin Heflin were caught in a plot to trace and duplicate a prison key to free her. Her appeals failed through the federal courts, an execution set for August 27th, 2020 was postponed by COVID-19, and on September 30th, 2025 the Tennessee Supreme Court reset her death for September 30th, 2026.The episode closes on what remains unresolved as that date approaches. Tennessee's 2026 execution schedule has already faltered — Governor Bill Lee granted Tony Carruthers a last-minute reprieve on May 21st after medical staff couldn't establish a backup IV line, media witnesses reported signs of pain in the 2025 executions of Byron Black and Harold Nichols, and Senate Republicans led by Tom Hatcher have asked Lee to pause executions pending review. Pike has filed suit over the pentobarbital protocol, arguing it excludes her Buddhist spiritual advisor and risks a torturous death, while advocates gather signatures asking Lee to commute her sentence over her age, abuse, and mental illness. If carried out, she would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than two hundred years. The last piece belongs to Slemmer's mother, Mae Martinez, who for more than twenty years has asked the state to return the skull fragment still held in evidence so she can bury her daughter whole — a nineteen-year-old who liked bowling and shrimping on the river back home in Florida and had gone to Tennessee to build a life around computers.
