Siptah & Chancellor Bay. The last years of Dynasty 19 are murky, with hints of disorder and violence. At the centre of affairs, the courtier Bay directed policy and controlled access to King Siptah.

This week on Beale Street Caravan we have longtime Ecko Records artist and southern soul dynamo, Sheba Potts-Wright in a performance at the historic Club Paradise. Raised on the touring circuit by her father, Beale Street harp legend Dr. Robert “Feelgood” Potts, Sheba has a sound that blends some of the best elements of the blues.
This week's Open Mic guest is Julie Anna Potts, president and CEO of the Meat Institute. The meat industry is enjoying strong consumer demand both in the U.S. and abroad, though Potts says some segments are faring better than others. A smaller cattle inventory is squeezing beef packers and processors as producers contend with drought and high input costs. Potts praises USDA's efforts to combat New World screwworm and says she hopes the USMCA trade agreement will be renewed. She's optimistic about the prospects for a new farm bill but believes agricultural labor reform will be left to the next Congress.
Tausret, Siptah, Bay, and the case of Paneb. By 1210 BCE, the southern rebellion was dying down, but trouble was far from over. The courtier Bay appears on the scene, first as an agent of Sety II, then as a "kingmaker" in his own right. Tausret increases her power, becoming a regent figure (like Hatshepsut). The young ruler Siptah, physically enfeebled and of uncertain heritage, provides a veil of legitimacy for a new triumvirate. Meanwhile, in Deir el-Medina, the foremen/chiefs Hay and Paneb deal with serious allegations...

This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
As reasoning models consume more tokens and AI systems become more expensive to run, understanding what those tokens actually buy is becoming increasingly important. In this episode, Stanford professor and Big Spin co-founder Chris Potts joins us to discuss AI tokenomics and his research into “tokenflation”—the possibility that token usage is growing faster than the measurable value those tokens produce. We explore how to measure the return on AI spending, why benchmarks alone provide an incomplete picture of model progress, and what inference-time scaling means for the economics of increasingly capable models. Chris also explains why expert AI users tend to get better results by challenging and iterating with models, how AI fluency affects outcomes, and why more efficient architectures could change the underlying economics. We also discuss DSPy, interpretability, the limits of today's transformer architectures, and where Chris sees opportunities for more fundamental innovation in AI.
Between 1215 and 1211 BCE, Egypt was divided. A rebellion in the south, launched by Amen-messe "Born of Amun" disrupted the succession of Sety II, son of Merneptah. Records from this shadowy period hint at violence and corruption in Waset/Luxor, as the usurper took control and established a new regime. The impact of this conflict would have long-lasting ramifications for the 19th Dynasty... Music: Luke Chaos. Logo: An unnamed statue head from Karnak, probably depicting Sety II or Amenmesse (Metropolitan Museum of Art, public domain). Was Amenmesse the Viceroy Messuy? Below are scenes from Amada in Nubia, where Messuy carved scenes of himself before royal cartouches. Prof. Aidan Dodson suggests that the Viceroy has cobra/uraei on his forehead, though other scholars suggest this is mere weathering. What do you think?

Pamela Potts is an executive coach, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of Every Leader Is a Coach.She is the creator of the Leader Coach Approach™ and OMO Method™, helping founders and senior leaders build trust, strengthen accountability, and multiply their impact through coaching-based leadership.With more than 25 years of experience building and scaling high-growth technology and ed-tech companies, Pamela brings a practical, human-centered approach to developing people and creating sustainable performance.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome Pamela Potts to explore why effective sales leadership is less about directing people and more about developing them.Pamela explains why successful salespeople don't automatically become successful leaders. Leadership requires a different skill set—listening deeply, staying curious, asking better questions, and helping people develop solutions they genuinely own.She introduces her OMO Method: Observe, Map, and Optimize, a practical framework for coaching without judgment, uncovering what is really happening, and helping people create their own path forward.The conversation also explores accountability, trust, consultative selling, and self-coaching. Pamela challenges leaders to stop becoming the bottleneck and become the multiplier—because great leaders don't simply manage people. They develop them.KEY TAKEAWAYSTrust starts with self-awareness. Understand your own perspective before trying to understand someone else's.Become a multiplier, not a bottleneck. Leadership is about developing capability in others. Great sellers don't automatically become great leaders. Coaching requires a different set of skills. Choose curiosity over judgment. Listen to understand instead of immediately trying to solve. Ask better questions. “Tell me more” can unlock insights that advice never will. Use the OMO Method. Observe, Map, and Optimize to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Let people own their solutions. People are more committed to ideas they help create. Accountability belongs in coaching. Clear commitments, follow-up, and feedback turn conversations into action. Coach yourself first. Self-coaching creates the awareness needed to effectively develop others. Treat failure as data. Use setbacks as information for improvement rather than reasons to stop.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESWe stop being the bottleneck and start being the multiplier for our teams.What we're doing is listening to actually hear instead of solve.What we solve and what we contribute to is what we own.We're not going to manage people. We're going to develop people.Once you can coach yourself, then you can coach others as well.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

The Potts Law Firm filed three civil lawsuits against xAI on behalf of three families whose children were allegedly depicted in AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The lawsuit alleges that xAI's platform enabled users to generate sexually explicit AI-created images of a minor and raises broader questions about the responsibility AI companies have to implement safeguards that prevent their technology from being misused. Derek Potts is a nationally recognized trial lawyer and legal trailblazer who has built a career holding major corporations accountable.

What happens when you stop running away from the pressures of life and start running toward the life you actually want? Alex Potts grew up in Sunnyvale, California, riding BMX bikes through the apricot orchards that would eventually become the heart of Silicon Valley. Raised by a single mom who taught elementary school and worked hard to keep their family afloat, Alex learned early lessons about money, service, resilience, and taking care of other people. Those lessons followed him into a remarkable career. Alex spent more than three decades helping build what became Loring Ward, a firm that helped pioneer the fee-based model used by independent financial advisors today. Along the way, he discovered that the most meaningful work wasn't simply about accumulating assets. It was about helping people solve problems that actually mattered. Then, while still in his 50s, Alex stepped away from the top job. And that's where another chapter of his story really began. In this episode of On Adventure, Alex and I talk about business, family, friendship, endurance, and the pull of wild places. We explore why running became an outlet during one of the most stressful periods of his life, how the John Muir Trail helped reshape his relationship with adventure, and why some of his strongest friendships have been forged while doing difficult things outdoors. We also get into a frightening day in the Grand Canyon when Alex—despite being in some of the best shape of his life—learned just how quickly an adventure can turn dangerous. A mile and a half from the top, in extreme heat, his body started shutting down. What helped turn things around? A total stranger and a bag of beef jerky. This conversation is ultimately about much more than hiking or business. It's about service, wisdom, community, and getting busy living while you still have the opportunity. In This Episode We talk about: From Silicon Valley to financial industry leadership — Alex's upbringing in Sunnyvale, the influence of his parents, and his three-decade journey helping build Loring Ward. Building a life around service — Why Alex believes great businesses, advisors, and leaders put helping people ahead of products, assets, or "wallet share." Running away vs. running toward — How running initially became an escape from the pressures of work and family before adventure evolved into something Alex intentionally pursued. Adventure, friendship, and community — From the John Muir Trail and Mount Whitney to the Excellent Adventure group, Alex explains why difficult experiences shared with others create unusually strong friendships. Knowing your limits—and having each other's backs — What a dangerous Grand Canyon rim-to-rim hike taught Alex about preparation, humility, listening to his body, and the unexpected kindness of strangers. Episode Timestamps Episode Timestamps 00:00 – From Silicon Valley Roots to Loring Ward Alex's childhood in Sunnyvale, being raised by a single mom, and the unlikely path that led him into financial services and eventually to building Loring Ward. 08:00 – Building a Business Around Service, Not Sales Why Alex rejected the traditional asset-gathering mentality and built a culture centered on genuinely helping advisors and their clients solve meaningful problems. 18:00 – Where the Drive to Help Others Comes From Alex reflects on his mother, his father's recovery from addiction, and how both shaped his belief in service, compassion, and taking care of people. 21:00 – The Day Running Changed His Life Overwhelmed by a demanding career, young children, and little sleep, Alex started running—and discovered the value of exercise, solitude, and uninterrupted thinking. 24:00 – The John Muir Trail and Finding Sanctuary Outdoors Backpacking through Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada, encountering ancient forests, and discovering the peace and perspective that come from extended time in wild places. 31:00 – Running Away vs. Running Toward Adventure How Alex's relationship with the outdoors evolved from a coping mechanism and escape into an intentional pursuit of adventure, challenge, and joy. 33:00 – Why the Best Adventures Are Shared From Mount Whitney to the Excellent Adventure group, Alex and Josh explore friendship, companionship, and why doing hard things together creates such powerful bonds. 41:00 – Knowing When to Push—and When to Stop Why fitness isn't enough in the backcountry, how experience builds wisdom, and the importance of checking your ego when conditions or your body tell you something isn't right. 43:00 – Grand Canyon Survival, Beef Jerky & Trail Magic A rim-to-rim Grand Canyon hike in 110-degree heat goes sideways, a stranger's bag of beef jerky helps Alex recover, and the experience becomes a powerful lesson in humility and having each other's backs. A Few Takeaways Adventure can change from escape to pursuit. At one point, running and the outdoors gave Alex a way to cope with stress. Eventually, something shifted. Instead of running away from something, he began running toward experiences he genuinely wanted. Fitness and wisdom aren't the same thing. Being capable of pushing harder doesn't always mean you should. Experience teaches us to recognize the signals our bodies—and sometimes our lives—are sending. The best adventures are often about the people beside you. The summit matters. The trail matters. But years later, it's often the people who struggled, laughed, helped, and celebrated alongside us that we remember most. Service is a way of being. Whether you're helping a client navigate a family crisis, staying at the back of a hiking group to make sure everyone gets home, or opening a door for someone at the grocery store, the principle is the same: I've got your back. Resources & References Mentioned John Muir Trail — The roughly 200+ mile Sierra Nevada trail Alex has backpacked in sections Yosemite National Park — One of Alex's favorite places on the planet Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) — Alex discusses encountering thru-hikers while on the JMT Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park — Near Alex's home in the Santa Cruz Mountains and home to magnificent old-growth redwoods Undaunted Courage by Stephen E. Ambrose — Alex's recommended account of the Lewis and Clark expedition Arthur Brooks — Referenced during the discussion of "deal friends" versus "real friends" Dimensional Fund Advisors — An important part of Alex's professional story and later his son's career Final Thought One of the most memorable ideas in this conversation is also one of the simplest. When you're on a trail and someone is struggling, you help. You don't ask whether they're part of your group. You don't calculate what's in it for you. You recognize that today it's them—and tomorrow it could be you. Alex has carried that philosophy from his childhood into business, from business onto the trail, and from the trail back into everyday life. Maybe that's part of what adventure is here to teach us. Take care of the people around you. Know when to push and when to turn around. Find places where the voices go quiet. And don't spend your whole life running away from something. Find something worth running toward. Keep the Adventure Going If this conversation resonated with you, share it with someone you'd want beside you on the trail.

The General on His Knees #RTTBROS #Nightlight #USA250 #Nation250 #America250The General on His KneesAnd it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees.— 1 Kings 8:54THE STORYIsaac Potts did not mean to see it.The Quaker farmer was riding through the woods near Valley Forge in the bitter winter of 1777 to 1778 when he heard a voice. He followed the sound through the trees until he came to a clearing. There, alone in the snow, was General George Washington on his knees, his voice lifted in earnest prayer.Potts watched for a moment, then quietly withdrew. He went home and told his wife what he had seen and said: "If George Washington be not a man of God, I am greatly deceived, and still more shall I be deceived if God does not, through him, work out a great salvation for America."Valley Forge was the lowest moment of the Revolution. The army was starving. Two thousand men were without shoes in the snow. Washington wrote that the situation was desperate beyond what most Americans knew. He did not just write about trusting God. He knelt in the snow and asked for it.THE REFLECTIONThere is a kind of faith that is easy to have when things are going well. Valley Forge is the test of another kind, the faith that kneels in the cold when comfort is gone and the cause looks lost.Washington could have given up at Valley Forge. By every human calculation, the war was not winnable. His army was dissolving. The British were comfortable in Philadelphia, twenty miles away. But he prayed. And he stayed.The spring of 1778 brought Friedrich von Steuben, who transformed a ragged militia into a genuine army. It brought news of the French alliance. None of it was inevitable. All of it, Washington believed, was providential.We serve the same God who met Washington in those cold Pennsylvania woods. The question is whether we are willing to kneel in our own Valley Forge moments, when nothing is working and the sensible thing would be to go home. The General stayed on his knees. It changed everything.THE PATRIOT'S PRAYERPray It Forward: Where is your Valley Forge right now, the situation where you are most tempted to give up? Bring it specifically to God today, and ask Him to show you the spring that is coming.

In this episode, I reflect on Matthew Potts' Cormac McCarthy and the Signs of Sacrament, especially chapter 2, “Fate: Nietzsche against Holden.” Potts is quickly becoming one of my favorite readers of McCarthy because he brings a deeply theological imagination to the novels without reducing them to easy Christian answers.I explore Potts' reading of fate, Judge Holden, Anton Chigurh, and the fragile possibility of something beyond violence. At the center of the episode is Hannah Arendt's powerful emphasis on forgiveness and promise: forgiveness as the answer to the irreversibility of the past, and promise as the answer to the uncertainty of the future.This is an episode about McCarthy's darkness, but also about the small signs that still matter: a wife's hand, a stone trough, a father carrying fire, and the possibility that even in a world of blood and fate, human beings may still be capable of beginning again.

How much of America's early victories came in direct answer to prayer? This episode explores powerful historical testimony, including accounts of General George Washington in prayer, and the faithful men and women who believed the Bible, feared God, and sought His divine intervention during a critical hour.We reflect on a nation shaped by prayer and proclamation—“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” From the plea for liberty to the call for spiritual awakening, this episode reminds us that the battle for freedom has always been more than physical. It is a spiritual war for truth, liberty, and the souls of men.Together, we will turn to God's Word to find direct answers for the needs of our time and to proclaim liberty once again.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/
Historical SignificanceIn Georgia, a Webster County posse pursued Susan and Enoch one hundred twenty-five miles to Coffee County, Alabama. The grand jury indicted both on May 27, 1872 — twenty-three days after the murder. Enoch's trial lasted a single day; the jury deliberated for three minutes. Both were sentenced to death on May 30. Twenty-six days from murder to death sentence. The Georgia Supreme Court denied Susan's appeal in *Eberhart v. State* 47 Ga. 598 (1873), with Justice H.K. McCay dismissing calls for mercy. Governor James M. Smith refused clemency four days before Susan was to die.Sheriff L.R. Barnard traced the Potts family over five hundred miles to Rock Springs, Wyoming, arresting the couple on February 16, 1889. Josiah Potts claimed Fawcett had killed himself after sexually abusing their daughter Edith, then approximately five years old. The abuse allegation was never investigated. The jury deliberated four hours — unanimous guilty verdict. Two hundred sixty-seven residents of Carlin petitioned the state board of pardons to commute both sentences to life imprisonment. The board refused. Sheriff Barnard himself opposed the execution.The Investigations and TrialsCase B — Georgia (1872): On May 4, 1872, after ten o'clock at night, Enoch Spann strangled his wife Sarah with a plow line, breaking her neck. According to his confession, Susan Eberhart held a handkerchief over Sarah's mouth at his command. Susan maintained she had been asleep and was compelled to participate under direct threat from a man who had already attempted murder twice — including a staged buggy accident where Susan had pulled Sarah from a swollen creek to save her life.Case A — Nevada (1888): Miles Fawcett entered the Potts household on New Year's Day to collect a debt and leverage knowledge of Elizabeth's bigamous marriage in Fresno, California. He was never seen alive again. His remains — charred, dismembered, buried in pieces throughout the cellar floor — were discovered on January 16, 1889, by the new tenant George Brewer. The only identifying object: a fragment of burned trouser pocket containing Fawcett's pocketknife.The CrimesSarah Spann was approximately fifty years old. She had lost a leg and lived as an invalid in a one-room log cabin inWebster County, Georgia, dependent on her husband Enoch for everything. A Confederate veteran whose own fellow soldiers had described him as "very ignorant and very imbecile, Enoch Spann was the man she was married to and the man who killed her.Miles Fawcett was born around 1830 near Manchester, England. He came west following the railroad, settling in Carlin — a Central Pacific division point established in 1868 with a population of roughly eight hundred. Fawcett worked a small ranch outside town. He kept to himself, known well enough that his pocketknife was recognized on sight but private enough that neighbors called him "Old Man Fawcett" and left it at that. He was fifty-seven when he disappeared.The VictimsNew Year's Day, 1888. A fifty-seven-year-old English carpenter named Miles Fawcett walks into a house on Silver Street in Carlin, Nevada, to collect a debt. He never comes back out. For a full year, the town absorbs his absence. When a new tenant probes the cellar floor and pulls up what he takes for a rotten turnip, it turns out to be a charred, decapitated human head. The woman who lived above that cellar — Elizabeth Potts — would become the only female ever legally executed in the state of Nevada. Meanwhile, in post-Civil War Georgia, an eighteen-year-old named Susan Eberhart is sent to cook and wash for a one-legged woman in a one-room cabin. Within days of her arrival, the man of the house begins telling her how he intends to kill his wife. Susan once waded into a swollen creek to save that woman's life. She would be convicted of helping to end it.Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary. Fifty states, fifty crimes, two hundred and fifty years of history. This double-feature covers Nevada and Georgia — two women sentenced to hang, separated by seventeen years and two thousand miles, connected by a question neither court could answer.This EpisodeThis episode contains discussions of murder, execution by hanging, domestic violence, sexual coercion, and dismemberment.

The Tiede family had been looking forward to their annual tradition. Every Christmas, they'd venture up to their remote cabin in the thick, snowy woods where they would decorate a Christmas tree and exchange gifts. But in December of 1990, their place of serenity and peace would be forever changed by two men that had recently escaped a halfway house.Instagram: @CousinsonCrimePodcastEmail: CousinsonCrime@gmail.comTheme Music by AleXZavesaJoin our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/CousinsOnCrimeCheck out our merch store! https://cousinsoncrime-shop.fourthwall.com/?Sources:https://youtu.be/9cjNwCcwtns?si=1gx2Ere0ByJVgeHWhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_Tiede_cabin_murdershttps://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/crime-scene-photos-deadly-home-invasion/33/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sisters-survive-deadly-attack-at-utah-cabin/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/61106561/rolf-tiedehttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/23286850/kaye-tiede

In this episode, Alex Cinney, Staff Attorney at the American Bar Association's Center on Children and the Law, and Toia Potts, a family advocate and co-founder of Carolina Parent Defenders, join us to discuss the realities and consequences of Termination of Parental Rights (TPR). Drawing on both legal expertise and lived experience, they examine how TPR functions within the child welfare system and what it means for families across the country.Alex explains how TPR permanently severs the legal relationship between parents and children, often without the level of scrutiny given to other life-altering legal decisions. Toia shares her personal story of being wrongfully accused, fully exonerated, and still losing her parental rights, highlighting the lasting impact on her children, extended family, and cultural identity. Together, they challenge common assumptions about “permanency,” emphasizing the difference between legal stability and the relational connections children need to thrive. They also explore alternatives such as guardianship and kinship care, and discuss ongoing efforts to reduce unnecessary terminations and preserve family integrity.The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, President of the Parental Rights Foundation.

Mary welcomes new guest Stephanie Potts to the podcast. She worked with the federal government as an intelligence analyst for 15 years and now works with Midwest Christian Outreach. She is passionate about evangelism and apologetics and discernment education. Her definitive book is “Social Justice and the Deification of Man: What You Need to Know When Talking to the Christian Left”. Today we take apart what seemed to be just another way “to do church” in the early part of this century and drag it over to it’s logical conclusion: the deification of man. While that might sound dramatic, it is absolutely what is and always was behind the door of the emergent church/emergence theology that dared to attempt to do plastic surgery on the bride of Christ by denying the need for the atonement, rethinking the gospel, and placing all power and authority for the end game of earth on man. Even though the Bible teaches something apocalyptically different, the doesn’t stop man from thinking that sin is merely all the ways society has let us down. How can Christians better respond to the left on this? Perhaps making fun of the No Kings approach isn’t the most helpful and yet it’s hard not to take that route.
