Assuming we already understand the parameters of “good citizenship” (obey the law; do no harm to others), how to decide what constitutes a “well-informed” citizen? Tom Schnaubelt, executive director of Hoover's Revitalizing American Institutions (RAI) initiative, and Checker Finn, a Hoover senior fellow and chair of Hoover's Working Group on Civics and American Citizenship, introduce Hoover's pioneering “Civic Profile” which launches in early March – a three-part test that assesses civics-related values, knowledge, and engagement. Also discussed: how to keep the civics “push” going past the coming American semi-quincentennial in early July (is a decades-long “civics renaissance” feasible?), plus other RAI endeavors currently underway at Hoover (national civics fellows, a networking Alliance for Civics in the Academy, “People, Politics and Places” fellowships that bring rural undergrad and grad students to the Stanford University campus, plus Hoover's USA @ 250 lecture series on ideas, institutions, and civic traditions that have sustained America freedom dating back to the republic's founding).   Recorded on February 25, 2026.  ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Chester E. Finn Jr. is the Volker Senior Fellow (adjunct) at the Hoover Institution and President Emeritus of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. At Hoover, he chairs the Working Group on Civics and American Citizenship within the Center for Revitalizing American Institutions. He previously led Hoover's Task Force on K-12 Education and now participates in the Hoover Education Success Initiative, as much of his career has focused on reforming primary and secondary schooling in the US. That included serving as a member of the Maryland State Board of Education and Maryland's Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, as well as Assistant US Secretary of Education and chair of the National Assessment Governing Board. Thomas Schnaubelt is the Executive Director of the Center for Revitalizing American Institutions at the Hoover Institution. Prior to his role at the Hoover Institution, Schnaubelt served as a Lecturer and Senior Advisor on Civic Education at the Deliberative Democracy Lab, within the Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. Schnaubelt came to Stanford in 2009 and has served as the Associate Vice Provost for Education, the Executive Director of the Haas Center for Public Service, and a Resident Fellow in Branner Hall, where he and his wife oversaw the development and implementation of a living-learning community focused on public service and civic engagement. In 2015, Schnaubelt coordinated the launch of Cardinal Service, a university wide effort to elevate and expand public service as a distinctive feature of the Stanford experience, and he has launched and led several national initiatives focused on democratic engagement and social change education. Schnaubelt received a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from the University of Mississippi, a Master of Arts in Education from the University of Michigan, and Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Recently, Nadine Saylor has been creating a series of gas and oil cans featuring imagery of her local surroundings. These more "masculine" objects remind her of the things her grandfather had in his shed. In thinking about gender and how it relates to the objects with which we surround ourselves, she investigates what role gender plays in our world writ large. Assistant Professor of Glass and Sculpture at University of Nebraska, Kearney, Saylor is originally from Hershey, Pennsylvania. She received her BFA in Photography from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and her MFA in Glass from Alfred University in upstate New York. Since then, she has taught at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Harrisburg Area Community College in Pennsylvania, and at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. In addition to teaching at the collegiate level, she has taught many workshops internationally including The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass and Penland School of Craft in North Carolina. She has also given demonstrations nationally and lectured internationally. Saylor has exhibited in many exhibitions across the country including the Cafesjian Art Trust, in Shoreview, MN, Toyama's International Glass Exhibition 2024 in Japan and has shown at SOFA Chicago. She recently completed a commission of two works Carrie Oilcan and Copper Kettle Nebraska for the Federal Reserve Board Gallery to be on display in Washington, DC, and to compliment her works commemorating American industry that were purchased in 2024. Derivative of her childhood, Saylor's works are instilled with love of Americana and history along with an interest in the stories behind the objects, the places, and the lives they have touched.  For example, Saylor's series of pincushions began with the familiar Tomato and Strawberry forms. In researching the history of these objects, the artist learned the pincushion was placed on the mantle to ward off evil spirits. When tomatoes were out of season, women made them out of fabric and used them as voodoo dolls. "I enjoy these kinds of historical narratives and use them as a vantage point in my work," she says. Imagery tells a story on the surface of many Saylor works. For example, Foggy Morning in the Black Swamp is a replica of an antique coffee pot she found in an antique store. The imagery on the surface is inspired by the artist's bike rides on the old railroad trail bike path through the Black Swamp.  She states: "My surroundings continue to affect the imagery on my glass as I lived on a farm in Southern Illinois with an array of chickens, goats and horses. This nostalgic life took me back to traveling to my grandmother's house in the countryside of rural Pennsylvania. Not only does my current rural life in Nebraska play a part in my glasswork, but I am also interested in the memories sparked by certain objects and what roles they play in our lives."

One of the hardest times we've ever laughed in a movie theater was during the movie Hall Pass. We watched it with a couple of our buddies, one of them was Brandon Miller, who's been on the pod a few times before and was happy to come back and chat about this hilarious movie. Hope you all enjoy!

Expulsions from England (1290), France (multiple times), Spain (1492), Portugal (1497), countless German states, Italian cities, and beyond—stretching back to antiquity and forward to 20th-century Arab countries. Historians document hundreds of instances across 2,000+ years. Tonight on the show, we trace the major waves, examine the recurring accusations and triggers (from blood libels to economic scapegoating), and explore why this might be relevant today.

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, I dive into the hot topic of Sunday liquor sales in Mississippi. Kingfish over at jacksonjambalaya.com has a story up about it—will we finally be able to buy wine and liquor on Sundays? It's been banned since booze was legalized back in 1966, but the House passed HB672 last week to allow it, and now it's up to the Senate. I'm kinda indifferent, honestly—some liquor stores say they don't want it because it might not boost sales, just spread 'em out thinner, hurting those big Friday and Saturday stockpiles for the weekend. They'd have to pay extra staff, and not every spot would benefit.   But here's my take: let's do it. Places that don't wanna open don't have to—stand on your principles, I respect that. I've wanted a bottle on a Sunday during football season plenty of times and didn't have one, probably for the best. I'm all for ditching these blue laws and letting the market decide. You don't want liquor on Sunday? Don't buy it. You can already get it at restaurants or bars on Sundays anyway—it never made sense that stores couldn't. Same with closing times: why force stores to shut early when bars stay open? I'm not saying bars should close early either, just pointing out the inconsistency.   If I were a state rep or senator, I'd vote yes—I'm about freedom and less government red tape, like a true conservative should be. Conservatism ain't always bible-thumping restrictions; it's the opposite—less meddling. What do y'all think? Should stores open Sundays or stay closed? Hit me up, I'd love your thoughts.

What does equity look like in ocean governance? In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Sebastian Duque Rios speaks with Yoshitaka Ota of Ocean Nexus and Randall Abate, ELI Visiting Scholar, about the emerging concept of ocean equity—and why centering social justice is essential to the future of marine conservation and ocean law. From marine protected areas and small-scale fisheries to deep sea mining, marine geoengineering, and the rights of nature movement, the conversation explores how traditional environmental governance frameworks have often failed to address systemic marginalization in coastal and Indigenous communities. Drawing on anti-subordination theory, environmental justice, and human rights law, the guests explain how ocean equity moves beyond consultation toward meaningful power-sharing—including rethinking free, prior, and informed consent, stewardship-based resource management, and the intersection of human rights and marine conservation. For environmental lawyers, policymakers, and ocean governance professionals, this episode offers a forward-looking framework for aligning conservation, climate action, and justice.What is ocean equity?

Rising input costs. Supply chain uncertainty. Tightening environmental regulation. Increasing sustainability criteria in tenders. For many Longford SMEs, these pressures feel like added burdens. But what if the same pressures could become a competitive edge? Circular Advantage is a practical, results-focused event designed to show Longford SMEs how circular economy practices can directly improve profitability, reduce risk and unlock new growth opportunities. Taking place during Enterprise Week and hosted by award-winning broadcaster Ella McSweeney, the Circular Advantage event will take place on Tuesday, 3 March from 10am-12.30pm in Longford Golf Club. This event moves beyond theory to focus on what business owners care about most: cost control, contract wins and long-term resilience. What's in it for SMEs? Attendees will leave with clear, actionable insights on how to: — Reduce material and waste costs and improve operational efficiency — Strengthen supply chain security by reducing reliance on volatile inputs — Win more public and private sector contracts by meeting evolving sustainability and procurement requirements — Avoid compliance risks and future penalties by staying ahead of emerging Irish and EU legislation — Unlock new revenue streams through reuse, repair, service models and smarter product design — Improve access to green finance and ESG-aligned funding — Enhance brand reputation and customer trust — Build a more resilient, future-proof business model This is not about adding cost. It is about designing waste and inefficiency out of your business. Expert Guidance, Local Relevance The event features practical insights from industry leaders: — Valentina Tarasco, Assessment & Metrics Lead with the Circular Economy Team at Irish Manufacturing Research, will break down the current policy landscape and explain how circular practices deliver measurable financial and environmental returns. — John O'Shanahan of LeanBPI will demonstrate how Longford LEO's Lean for Business and Digital for Business programmes can act as immediate, low-risk entry points to improving cost efficiency and embedding circular thinking. — Tim Murphy of Circular Economy Company will share a real-world case study showing how reducing waste to landfill translated into tangible cost savings for a local business. The event concludes with a panel discussion hosted by Ella McSweeney, focused on practical implementation and the funding supports available to help SMEs take the next step. Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council, Cllr Garry Murtagh, said, "Longford businesses are as capable as any in Ireland of leading the shift to a more resource-efficient economy. Events like Circular Advantage show our SMEs that sustainability is not an added burden — it is a sharper way to run a business, win more work and reduce exposure to cost shocks. I would encourage every business owner and manager in the county to take their place at this event." Chief Executive of Longford County Council, Paddy Mahon, said, "Small businesses in Longford are already living with the effects of higher input costs and more demanding procurement requirements. Circular Advantage gives them a direct route to addressing both — not through theory, but through practical tools they can use in their businesses. Supporting our SME base to be leaner, more competitive and better placed to win contracts is a most welcome investment from the Just Transition Fund." A Strategic Opportunity for Longford The Circular Economy Project, Circular Advantage, is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the EU Just Transition Fund. The project aims to position Longford as a leading region in Ireland's shift toward a more resource-efficient and competitive economy. For SME owners and managers asking how to protect margins while staying ahead of regulatory and procurement demands, this event provides both the strategic clarity and practical tools to act now.

Joburg is funny like that, we all say the big area because it sounds nicer. “I live in Fourways.” No babes… you live in Magaliesig. “I’m in Roodepoort.” Okay cool… but are you in Wilro Park, Florida Glen, or Constantia Kloof? And don’t even get us started on “I stay in Sandton.” Is it actually Sandton… or is it Paulshof, Wendywood, or Buccleuch? Joburg is layered. Roodepoort is known. Fourways is known. Sandton is known. But inside those big names? There are smaller suburbs people don’t even realise exist. There’s literally a place called Joburg North.You think you’re in Fourways but technically? You’re not.

Dimarts de Carnaval al vespre, una persona forçà tres portes del Centre d'Interpretació de la Malvasia i es va endur diners de la botiga. No fou cap gran quantitat, però no és el primer cop que es viu un ensurt d'aquesta mena. Els fets, denunciats a la policia, formen part d'una llista de situacions que estan alterant la convivència dels veïns de la zona propera a les places de Joan Duran i Ferret -on hi ha el petit parc infantil darrera l'hospital- i la plaça del doctor Pérez Rosales. Alba Gràcia, coordinadora del CIM, denuncia l'abandó que pateix la plaça on s'ubica el CIM i assegura que és habitual trobar-se restes de brossa i de persones consumint alcohol i d'altres substàncies, d'aquí que demani una actuació municipal per a millorar i assegurar aquest entorn tan concorregut del barri del Poble Sec.

Not far beyond Dublin's busy streets lies a landscape of forest trails, heather-covered hills, and stories that stretch back thousands of years. The Dublin Mountains are closer than most visitors realize – and packed with history, mythology, and unforgettable views. trail in the Dublin Mountainsphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission This article is based on podcast episode 327 featuring Ben Shorten, owner of My Bike of Hike, guided tours around the Dublin area delivered in a sustainable way. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Dublin Mountains: An Easy City Escape with Ancient Stories The Dublin Mountains form the northern edge of a granite mountain range that stretches nearly 90 miles through Leinster. While they're often overshadowed by their Wicklow neighbors, this is where the range actually begins – right in South County Dublin. The rounded granite hills make for accessible hill walking rather than extreme hiking. Trails are generally approachable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness, making this a fantastic half-day or full-day addition to a Dublin itinerary. From many vantage points you'll enjoy: Sweeping views over Dublin City and the suburbs Panoramas across Dublin Bay and the Irish Sea Scenic outlooks into the Wicklow Mountains Forest walks and open heathland On a clear day, the views alone are worth the trip. Getting to the Dublin Mountains Without a Car Yes, you can reach the Dublin Mountains by public transport. Several bus routes connect the city and suburbs to trailheads and nearby villages. Services aren't always as frequent as visitors might hope, but options are steadily improving. With a little planning (and a quick online search), it's entirely possible to spend the day hill walking without renting a car. That accessibility makes the Dublin Mountains one of the easiest outdoor escapes from the capital. Prehistoric Tombs Older Than the Pyramids Here's where things get fascinating. On many of the Dublin Mountains' summits, you'll find prehistoric megalithic burial tombs, many of which predate the Egyptian pyramids and even Stonehenge. There's often little signage. No grand visitor center. Sometimes just a mound of stones quietly resting at the top of a hill. But these sites may be 5,000 years old. Fairy Castle cairnphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission One notable example sits atop a mountain commonly called Fairy Castle (also known historically by several names, including from the Irish language). The mound is believed to be an ancient tomb—possibly a passage tomb—yet it has never been excavated. What lies beneath remains a mystery. That sense of standing somewhere sacred and ancient, largely undisturbed, is powerful. You're quite literally walking where people walked thousands of years ago. Where Mythology, History & Archaeology Meet In the Dublin Mountains, it's common for prehistory, documented history, and Irish mythology to overlap. Mountains like Seefin and Seefingan (names derived from Irish) are linked to legends of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the Fianna. According to mythology, these were hunting grounds and even “seats” of the great warrior himself. Climb the hill and you may find: A prehistoric tomb A mythological story tied to the summit Historical records from later centuries Few places weave together so many layers of story in one location. Hellfire Clubphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission The Hellfire Club on Montpelier Hill If there's one Dublin Mountains site many visitors have heard of, it's the Hellfire Club. Perched on Montpelier Hill, the remains of an 18th-century hunting lodge overlook the city with spectacular views. The lodge was built in 1725 by William Conolly, once one of the wealthiest men in Ireland. Local lore says that stones from a prehistoric tomb were used in its construction. Soon after it was built, legends claim the roof blew off – a punishment, some said, for disturbing ancient ground. Later, the building was associated with the notorious Hellfire Club, a group of aristocrats rumored to have hosted wild and possibly sinister gatherings there. While hard evidence is limited, the stories have endured for centuries. Today, visitors can walk up Montpelier Hill, explore the structure, and imagine the layers of history – prehistoric ritual site, 18th-century hunting lodge, and legendary meeting place. It's atmospheric, dramatic, and one of the best viewpoints near Dublin. Exploring the Dublin Mountains with a Local Guide Ben Shorten, owner of My Bike or Hike, offers guided experiences throughout Dublin – city, coast, countryside, and mountains – with a strong focus on local connection and sustainability. His approach includes: Supporting small, family-run businesses Using public transport where possible Sharing deep local knowledge and storytelling Introducing visitors to lesser-known but equally rewarding locations Rather than focusing only on the most crowded attractions, his tours highlight places that are just as meaningful – often with far fewer people. Tours can be booked directly through the website, and custom experiences are available upon request. The Dublin Mountains hikes are open to visitors and suitable for a wide range of fitness levels. Follow the adventures on Facebook and Instagram. 3 Places to Visit in the Dublin Mountains If you're heading into the hills, here are three locally loved spots worth adding to your plans: Hazel House (A Place to Eat)A cozy, family-run café tucked into the Dublin Mountains. Hazel House is known for rustic meals and produce grown in their own polytunnels.After a hill walk, there's nothing better than a hearty lunch made with local ingredients. Sophie's Sauna in Glenasmole (A Place to Enjoy)A newly opened hot-and-cold sauna experience hidden in the Glenasmole Valley. It's quickly become a favorite for those looking to relax after a hike – or simply soak in the mountain surroundings in a different way.Bonus: Sophie, the sheep (who thinks she's a dog), might greet you. Ollie's Honey Farm (A Place to Learn)Visit a local beekeeper producing award-winning honey from hives throughout the Dublin Mountains.Tours allow visitors to learn about beekeeping, taste truly local honey, and even suit up and see the hives up close. It's a hands-on way to connect with the landscape – through its flowers, bees, and flavors. The Dublin Mountains may sit just outside the city, but they feel a world away. Whether you're chasing panoramic views, ancient tombs, mythological tales, or a bowl of homemade soup after a hill walk, this landscape delivers. And once you stand on a summit overlooking Dublin Bay, it's hard to believe more people don't add it to their itinerary.

Sunday Sermon | February 22, 2026: Prayer (Depending on God in Solitary Places) by Harrisburg BIC Church

Send a textI stumbled upon Patrick Gabridge on the World Wide Web, and he was kind enough to come on to the Playwright's Spotlight after reaching out to him. If there was a playwright who has been in the spotlight who might have a pathway to success, it would be Patrick Gabridge. With a non-traditional approach to writing, Patrick focuses on site-specific plays that are staged in non-traditional stages. Before we delve into this, we speak about marketing and his networking group - Playwright Submission Binge - and how the market has dwindled and changed over the years and how it has affected non-equity theatre. We discuss his development of Plays in Places and its historical accuracy and use of creative license, how it's opened doors to success, the Secret Sauce, and pitching to non-traditional venues. We also breakdown approaching Youth Plays as an older playwright, writing competition plays, what constitutes high drama and whether or not there is a formula. We wrap things up with achieving exposition in a 10-minute play, experiencing poor productions of one's work, advice for finding/developing a writers group, and networking with playwrights. This is a fascinating conversation that should present any playwright with phenomenal opportunities. I'd love to how things transpire if anyone listening takes this path. Enjoy!Patrick Gabridge is a playwright whose work includes Blood on the Snow, Chore Monkeys, Lab Rats, Distant Neighbors, Fire on Earth, Flight, Constant State of Panic, Pieces of Whitey, Blinders, and Reading the Mind of God, which have been staged in theaters across the country. His plays can found in  Playscripts, Brooklyn Publishers, Heuer, Smith & Kraus and various“Best of” anthologies.He assisted is creating Boston's Rhombus Playwrights writers' group, the Chameleon Stage theatre company in Denver, the Bare Bones Theatre company in New York, the publication Market InSight… for Playwrights, and the on-line Playwrights' Submission Binge. He's also a member of the Dramatists Guild,  StageSource, and a board member of the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund.  In 2013, he co-founded the New England New Play Alliance and still serves as its coordinator.To view the video format of this episode, visit the link below - https://youtu.be/wkpI3jR_Or0Links to sites and resources mentioned in this episode -Playwright Marketing Binge - https://groups.io/g/playwrightbingeSeven Devils New Play Foundry - https://www.sevendevils.orgMid America Theatre Conference - https://matc.usThe O'Neill - https://www.theoneill.orgPlays in Place - http://playsinplace.comBrooklyn Publishers - https://www.brookpub.comHeuer Publishing - https://www.hitplays.comSocials for Patrick Gabridge and Plays in Place - FB - https://www.facebook.com/patrickgabridgeIG/Threads - @patrickgabridge YouTube -  ⁨@pgabridge⁩  FB - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558727695681IG/Threads - @plays_in_placeWebsites and socials for James Elden, Punk Monkey Productions and Playwright's SpotlightPunk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlJames Elden -Twitter - @jameseldensauerIG - @alakardrakeFB - fb.com/jameseldensauerPunk Monkey Productions and PLAY Noir - Twitter - @punkmonkeyprods                  - @playnoirla IG - @punkmonkeyprods       - @playnoir_la FB - fb.com/playnoir        - fb.com/punkmonkeyproductionsPlaywright's SpoSupport the show

In Part one of a two part episode, I'm talking about mid-career in events. It's rarely talked about, but almost everyone feels it. In this episode, I talk about the quiet shift that happens once competence and skills alone are no longer enough, why working harder stops moving the needle, why visibility and positioning matter more than output, and why many capable event professionals confuse this phase for stagnation. If you've been in the industry for a while and something feels different or difficult, this conversation is for you.P.S. You may notice a small change to the podcast name in the coming months!

How are these abusive teen rehab centers still open? Why are parents still sending their kids there? Can't they be shut down? Maia Szalavitz is an award-winning author and journalist who covers addiction and neuroscience. Her book, Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled-Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids, is the first comprehensive look at systemic abuse in “tough love” programs and helped spur Congressional hearings & GAO investigations. In this episode, you'll hear how the abusive teen rehab centers featured in Netflix's The Program & Wayward (think Straight Inc., The Seed, Synanon & wilderness camps) began with tough love doctrine, why you can legally treat kids worse than prisoners, why parents aren't suing & why regulations just don't stick. We also weave in the perspective of struggling parents who feel that the anti-troubled teen industry is hurting their healing efforts.  If you like this episode, you'll also like episode 248: SURVIVING THE TROUBLED TEEN INDUSTRY: SEPARATING IDENTITY FROM EXPERIENCE [REMASTERED] Guest:https://x.com/maiasz https://maiasz.com/ Resources:Boy who was raised as a dog https://a.co/d/0bA3dxmi Pace Center for Girls Pensacola https://www.pacecenter.org/locations/florida/escambia-santa-rosa/ Gulf Coast Kids House https://www.gulfcoastkidshouse.org/ Greenhouse Counseling https://www.ghcpensacola.com/  Host:  https://www.meredithforreal.com/  https://www.instagram.com/meredithforreal/ meredith@meredithforreal.comhttps://www.youtube.com/meredithforreal  https://www.facebook.com/meredithforrealthecuriousintrovert  Sponsors: https://www.jordanharbinger.com/starterpacks/ https://www.historicpensacola.org/about-us/  02:00 — The cult origins: Synanon begins04:00 — “I must have needed that” psychology05:00 — The rattlesnake assassination attempt07:00 — The Seed and brainwashing teens08:00 — Straight Incorporated goes national10:00 — Why parents don't believe abuse reports12:00 — Utah wilderness programs rise13:00 — The death of Aaron Bacon14:00 — Moral panic & religious fear15:00 — Good parents, fatal decisions16:00 — Why regulation keeps failing17:00 — Regulatory capture in Utah20:00 — Unannounced inspections change everything22:00 — Why traumatized kids need gentleness27:00 — Warehouses of neglect28:00 — Should therapy have an FDA?29:00 — Renaming punishment as treatment32:00 — Exhausted parents & marketing fear34:00 — How small power corrupts42:00 — Why lawsuits rarely succeed44:00 — Private right of action explained45:00 — Does awareness help or hurt?46:00 — Educational consultants & kickbacks54:00 — Local resources for struggling families55:00 — Undoing drugs & keeping people aliveRequest to join my private Facebook Group, MFR Curious Insiders https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BAt3bpwJC/

Today on the podcast, why are more unequal neighborhoods sometimes better at promoting the collective good?A world of high inequality is, in many ways, a world in which the fortunes of the rich are detached from the welfare of the poor. It's a world in which the affluent are less reliant on public goods for securing their own safety and wellbeing. Those with money can purchase essential services – even things like security, sewage systems, or street lights – on private markets – rather than turning to the government. A highly unequal society is thus one in which the affluent may have little reason to support public infrastructure and services – or the high taxes required to finance them. It's a society, in short, that's going to have a hard time providing widespread public goods. The result can be a vicious circle – deteriorating living conditions among the poorest and growing comfort and prosperity among the better-off.But our guest today argues that things don't always have to work this way – that the consequences of inequality depend not only on who has what, but also on where. Dr. Alice Xu is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Social Policy and Practice and Department of Political Science. In her article published in the American Political Science Review – and a book project currently in progress – Alice argues that whether or not the affluent support the provision of public goods depends on patterns of residential segregation and integration. As Alice argues, when the middle and upper classes live in close proximity to the poor, their fortunes are more closely intertwined than they are in cities that are highly segregated by social class. In an integrated city, when the poor experience unsafe streets or disease-ridden sewage runoff, so too do their better-off neighbors. Alice talks to us about the in-depth, mixed method study she carried out in several cities in Brazil – one of the world's most unequal countries. We dig into how class-integrated neighborhoods sometimes escape inequality's vicious circle – as the middle and upper classes demand that the state invest more generously in urban infrastructure and services for everyone. This is work that doesn't just shed new light on the political economy of inequality but also holds important lessons for the planning and governance of the world's cities – in particular, showing just what is at stake in avoiding high levels of segregation by social class.We hope you enjoy this conversation.

“If everything's important, then nothing is important”. You've probably heard that many times. Yet, are you guilty of ignoring it?  In today's episode, I share with you a few ideas on how to best prioritise your days.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Fac ebook | Website | Linkedin   The Ultimate Productivity Workshop  The Hybrid Productivity Course    Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 405 Hello, and welcome to the real episode 405 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. (Apologies for the incorrect numbering last week) A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  How many overdue flagged tasks do you have in your task manager? If you're like most people, you will have quite a few.  The question is: why are they overdue? You made a conscious decision that these tasks were important, but then did not do them when you wanted to do them. This is something I struggled with for years. I would add flags to anything I felt was important, then completely ignore them throughout my day. It wasn't until I realised I was making a mistake and diminishing the power that flags give me, that I changed my approach. Over the last few weeks, I've seen this coming up in a lot of my coaching sessions, where I notice overdue flagged tasks cluttering things up and becoming a distraction to the user.  The other issue here is that overdue flagged tasks cause an increase in anxiety. You flagged them because they were important or urgent, and now you have a long list of such tasks. Where do you start to get them under control?  Now, before I hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question, if you've been waiting for the 2026 Ultimate Productivity Workshop, then the wait's over. Coming on the 8th and 15th of March, join me live for a festival of productivity. Featuring the COD foundation, the Time Sector System, and how to get on top of your backlogs and so much more, including the DPS (daily Planning Sequence and the WPM (weekly Planning Matrix).  Places are limited, so get yourself registered today. Full details are in the show notes.  And now it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice. This week's question comes from Caroline. Caroline asks, “ Hi Carl, I've recently cleaned up my Todoist, and as I was doing so, I found a lot of flagged tasks that I had ignored. These are important tasks, and I don't want to remove the flag. But it's become so overwhelming. What's the best way to use flags, in your opinion?  Hi Caroline, thank you for your question.  As a Todoist user, you have many options for your flags. There are technically four flags. P1 (red), P2 (orange), P3 (blue) and P4 (white). The P4 flag isn't really a flag, since all tasks default to it. With these flags, there are many ways you can organise them. However, you do need one of them to be your priority flag.  When I say “priority flag,” this is the one you use when a task absolutely must be done on the day it was assigned.  Logically, you would use the P1 red flag for that.  Now, this is where many people go wrong.  It's very tempting to add a flag to a task long before it is due. The feeling is that if the task is important, it will still be important on the day you plan to do it.  Not true. Priorities change.  You plan to finish a proposal for your most important client on Thursday, but that morning, your daughter has a serious asthma attack, and you are now in the emergency room of your local hospital. Where's your priority now?  Okay, I know that example is a little extreme, but those things happen.  Priorities also change throughout the week. That important client may tell you the proposal is on hold for a few months, so there is no urgency. But new priorities will come along, don't you worry.  This is why adding your flags should be done at a daily planning level.  Now I will caveat that.  There are times when I know something will be the priority for the day. The script for this podcast, for instance, is today's priority. I knew that when I planned the week, and I flagged it. It doesn't matter what other things pop up through the week; when it comes to writing this script, it's the priority for the day.  Your core work will always be a priority. This is why I have people spend time working out what their core work is. After all, your core work is the reason you are employed. If you didn't do your core work consistently, you would not have a job for very long.  Even retired people need to consider what their core activities will be each day.  I'm reminded of this following a conversation I had with my father-in-law over the weekend. We've just had the lunar New Year here in Korea, and my parents-in-law stayed with us over the holiday.  During that time, my father-in-law mentioned he planned to hang up his silicone gun and tiling trowel at the end of the year. He fits bathrooms and was thinking about what he would do when he no longer needs to wake up at 5:00 am each morning.  The first thing I said was that he needs to prioritise exercise. His job ensures he's getting plenty of exercise. Walking up and down stairs carrying sinks, shower kits and tiles is hard physical work. His job currently ensures he's getting his exercise.  The moment he stops doing that five days a week, he will need to find a replacement activity to prevent muscle loss.  Losing his muscle mass will lead to him losing his independence very quickly.  We all have priorities that recur. Those tasks can be pre-flagged. They are critical, whether you are working or retired. Having a few tasks already prioritised helps you plan the day, since you can decide whether they will be the priority or not. Let me explain.  All of us are limited by the same thing each day. Time. It's the one thing none of us can change. Writing this podcast script takes about 2 to 2.5 hours. That eats a big chunk of my work time each week.  At the same time, we all have to deal with communications, meetings, admin and other day-to-day tasks. I need to include an hour each day for taking Louis for his walk, and next week, he also has a grooming appointment, which will take time out of my week.  Looking at next week's calendar today, I can see where my appointments are and already guess which tasks will be a priority. When I do my weekly planning, I pre-flag what I think will be the priority for each day, but I am aware that when I do daily planning, I may need to change it. There has to be a degree of flexibility.  It could be that I get an email on Monday asking for a proposal to work with a company and design a workshop for them. That would become a priority for that week.  I would add a task, “Begin work on company workshop”, and schedule it. Yet, I would not flag it then. When the day comes, and I do my daily planning, I then get to see the real landscape of my day.  It could be that I have five hours of meetings that day and two or three pre-planned, prioritised tasks. Now I have to make a decision. What is my REAL priority that day?  If I have promised to get the workshop outline to the client by the end of the week, that will be my red-flagged task that day. I made a promise, and I will deliver on that promise.  Given that I have five hours of meetings and need two hours to put together the outline and proposal, there's not going to be much time left for anything else that day. I need to re-prioritise my day.  So I add the flag to the workshop's proposal and decide on what needs to be rescheduled.  It's likely that, in that given scenario, I would not flag anything else. I know I don't have time to do much else.  This is why daily and weekly planning complement each other. The weekly plan is about setting yourself objectives. The daily plan is about ensuring you prioritise your day so you work towards meeting those objectives—given the new information, ie, new tasks that will inevitably come in.  Now I know many of you will add a flag to a task because you keep rescheduling it and just do not want to spend the time doing it. The thinking goes that if you flag it, you will do the task. Hmmm, how often does that work?  This is often the reason many flagged tasks become overdue. The only change is that the task now has a flag. Yet you still don't want to spend the time doing it. When you use your daily planning time to prioritise your day, you're using real, up-to-date information to guide you. You can remove flags from tasks you thought were important but are no longer, and add a flag to the tasks that are important that day.  I mentioned that you can pre-prioritise your week by flagging tasks at the weekly planning session. When you do the daily planning, you decide if your priorities have changed and, if so, remove flags or reschedule those tasks.  What I like about this approach is that it feels like your task manager is supporting you rather than the other way around. You retain control over what you will and will not do each day.  This works particularly well if you find yourself behind on something or have a backlog that needs dealing with. When you plan the day, you get to decide what to place on your task list and in what order. Now, how many flags should you allow each day? Several years ago, I decided to find out how many tasks I could consistently do each day for a week. I began with fifteen and soon discovered that if I wanted to be consistent, then that number was ten.  This number does not include routine tasks such as cleaning my actionable email, my daily admin tasks and the usual things we all have to do at work each day.  When it came to flagged tasks, I soon discovered that I could consistently do two important tasks a day. When I tried three or more, I frequently was unable to do one of them. I just ran out of time.  And so, my 2+8 Prioritisation Method was born.  This method forces you to realistically prioritise your day. You can choose only two must-do tasks for the day. These are flagged. The remaining eight are not flagged, and you will do what you can to clear that list each day.  This method works because it introduces constraints into your system.  Given that it's human nature to want to do more than we can realistically do each day, adding this constraint of no more than ten tasks per day ensures you are picking the genuinely important tasks.  No, that interesting YouTube video is not important. You can watch that any time. But renewing your father's prescription for him is.  Checking your car's tyre pressures before you head out on a long road trip this afternoon will be a priority over reading that article your colleague sent you.  I have my Todoist set up so I can see my red-flagged tasks each day using a filter. That filter is “today & P1”.  Each morning, before I begin my day, that's the first place I go. I review my flagged tasks and remove any excess.  This has taught me to become ruthlessly competent at prioritising.  Strangely, this goes back to something I learned in my teenage years. In Hyrum Smith's Ten Natural Laws of Time and Life Management, he writes about establishing your governing values. Today. I think of these as my Areas of Focus.  These governing values are the predetermined priorities in your life. Often, family will be at the top of that list. The idea is that your governing values have a natural prioritised list. For example, if your family's well-being is above your career, if your family needs you to do something, that will be prioritised over your work commitments.  For me, my health and fitness is above my work in my list of areas of focus. This means I will not schedule meetings at 4:30 pm. That's my exercise time. I will not do any work at that time either. At 4:30 pm, I exercise.  So there you go, Caroline. I hope that has helped. The key is to prioritise your day during your daily planning and use that time to reset your flags so nothing is ever overdue.  And above all, respect your flags. If you know you will not be doing a flagged task on any given day. Either reschedule the task or remove the flag.  Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

In this episode of the Everything Electric podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Tom Hurst, UK Country Director for Fastned, to pull back the curtain on the UK's rapid charging revolution. Tom explains why Fastned is moving beyond simple "parking bays with plugs" to build high-visibility, amenity-first charging hubs that keep you sheltered from the rain and your battery topped up at speeds of up to 400kW. They also dive into the "mammoth" joint venture with Places for London (TfL's property arm) and why legal contracts, not just grid power, are often the biggest hurdle to a seamless charging experience.   00:00 Welcome to Everything Electric 01:40 Who is Fastned?
