This episode marks a first – it's the Pricing Friends debut in English. Dr. Sebastian Voigt speaks with Kevin Mitchell, President of the Professional Pricing Society (PPS), about global pricing trends, the evolution of the profession, and what defines effective leadership in a rapidly changing environment. Kevin shares insights from his decades of experience in building a worldwide pricing community. How do different regions approach monetization? What role do education and certification play? And how can pricing experts stay ahead when AI and data are transforming their tools and expectations?“The pricing profession has grown tremendously – and with that growth come new responsibilities. Communication, collaboration, and curiosity matter more than ever,” says Kevin. The conversation explores international developments, practical lessons from the PPS network, and the qualities that make today's pricing leaders stand out – from strategic thinking to empathy and the ability to translate value into action. About the guest: Kevin Mitchell is President of the Professional Pricing Society (PPS), the world's leading organization for pricing professionals. Based in Atlanta, PPS has thousands of members around the globe and has certified over 10,000 individuals through its Certified Pricing Professional (CPP) program. Kevin has led the society since 2007 and regularly speaks at conferences across North America, Europe, and Asia. Under his leadership, PPS has become a global hub for education, networking, and the professionalization of pricing.

L'introduction d'une indemnité pour les ministres délégués (Junior Ministers) suscite de vives réactions sur l'échiquier politique. Le gouvernement prévoit d'amender la National Assembly Allowances Act afin d'inclure ces nouvelles fonctions dans le dispositif légal d'indemnisation. Ces changements seront appliqués rétroactivement à partir du 22 novembre 2024. Au lieu de maintenir les traditionnels Parliamentary Private Secretaries (PPS), l'exécutif a fait le choix de nommer dix Junior Ministers affectés à divers ministères pour assister les ministres dans leurs responsabilités administratives. Contrairement aux PPS, dont les indemnités sont prévues par la législation en vigueur, les Junior Ministers ne disposaient jusqu'ici d'aucun cadre légal concernant leur rémunération. Des voix au sein même du gouvernement expliquent que cette réforme législative est nécessaire, car la structure administrative a évolué : les PPS n'existent plus. Il devient donc nécessaire, selon eux, de modifier la loi pour l'aligner sur cette nouvelle réalité politique. Padma Utchanah, présidente du Ralliement Citoyen pour la Patrie, reconnaît que la Constitution autorise la nomination de ministres délégués. Toutefois, elle déplore l'absence de cadre législatif clair concernant le financement et les dépenses liées à ces fonctions. « Les amendements annoncés permettront certes de régulariser leur rémunération, mais cela ne justifie en rien l'utilité de ces postes », insiste-t-elle. Pour Padma Utchanah, les Junior Ministers, tout comme les PPS auparavant, représentent une charge budgétaire superflue. « On a souvent réclamé la suppression des PPS. Il en va de même aujourd'hui pour les Junior Ministers. Ce sont des dépenses qui pourraient être évitées, surtout quand d'autres priorités nationales nécessitent des investissements urgents », soutient-elle.

UGREEN has broken their own record for releasing the world's first 300W charger and pushed the envelope even further by launching the world's first 500W Nexode Charger. The UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger is a behemoth when it comes to capabilities and specs. The single unit can replace multiple chargers in your home or office and recharge up to 6 devices simultaneously at max speed. We have been using the 300W Nexode Chargers in our office since 2023 and they have proven both reliable and super convenient for their ability to recharge multiple devices and as they are compatible with just about every charging standard and speed, we could remove many of the different chargers we had sitting around and replaced them with one device. We have been putting the UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger to the test in the office over the past few weeks to see if it is a worthy successor to the 300W charger we reviewed previously. UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger Specs Input: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 7.0A Max USB-C1 Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=3.0A/12.0V=3.0A/15.0V=3.0A/20.0V=5.0A/28.0V?5.0A/36.0V?5.0A/48.0V?5.0A 240.0W Max USB-C2/C3/C4/C5 Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=3.0A/12.0V=3.0A/15.0V=3.0A/20.0V=5.0A 100.0W Max USB-A Output: 5.0V=3.0A/9.0V=2.0A /12.0V=1.5A /10.0V=2.25A 22.5W Max Total Output Power: 500.0W Max 500W 6-Port (5USB-C, 1USB-A) GaN Fast Charging V-0 Rated Flame-Retardant Material Support PD3.1 protocol, single-port support up to 240W output, in addition to daily electronics charging, but also for some high-performance gaming laptops Supports fast charging with a wide range of protocols including PD3.0/2.0, QC4.0/3.0, PPS, AFC, FCP, APPLE 5V2.4A, BC1.2 Built-in 6 Gallium Nitride chips, conversion rate up to 95%. Set up multi-channel NTC detection, 100/S temperature detection, and real-time intelligent adjustment. Orientation sensor, when the device is tipped over, it will automatically adjust the power to prevent overheating and damage to the device. Including over-current/overload/over-temperature and 11 other protections. The UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger can intelligently split the 500 watts available across its 6 ports depending on how many are being used. The highest output available from one single USB-C port is a colossal 240 watts. The remaining four USB-C ports each top out at 100 watts, with the USB-A port being capable of 22.5 watts. UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger - How does it perform? We have a collection of power banks here that are used every day. They are large capacity and with the wrong charger, they can take a lifetime to charge. With the UGREEN Nexode 500W Charger, you can plug multiple power banks into charge, along with a MacBook and iPhone, and in short order, you are ready to hit the road. The power banks are essential for journalists as you can charge everything else from them when you are on the go, and being able to charge them quickly is essential. As devices get more powerful and power hungry at home too, the Nexode 500W charger can charge multiple tablets, phones and laptops, all at the same time. It also makes it very straightforward for everyone in the home to use, as you no longer need a specific charger for specific devices. Just find a spare port on the Nexode, and you are all set. Conclusion UGREEN continue to make nicely designed and reliable products that solve problems in your home or office. The Nexode 500W Charger makes it simple to charge any device you may have with its wealth of compatible charging standards and power on offer. It is the first 500W charger available and may be the only one you will need to buy to power all of your devices. The Nexode 500W Charger is available to purchase from Amazon and directly from the UGREEN website now.

Guys Questions Hey guys, I really love your show. My question is about food safe finishes. I do a lot of CNC carving and one of my favorite is deviled egg trays. The first couple I made for my wife I just finished with some butcher block oil, the composition of an egg Has something  in it I think and it quickly turned the reliefs in the wood surface black. I talked to my sister-in-law who's a chemical engineer and she told me that polyurethane once it's cured would be fine for this. I have done a few with this and it seems to be holding up OK but I am curious what your guys thoughts are  on the long-term effect of this. Most of my egg trays are made out of a butcher block style material that has lots of maple cherry ash a little bit of oak and various leftovers. Unfortunately, I can't use walnut in my wood shop due to my wife's tree nut allergy again guys. I really appreciate your podcast and look forward to listening to it. Albert Thanks for the great podcast, I learn something from every episode.  I recently made a few band saw boxes for Christmas gifts.  They are a good way to use up some offcut lumber and the family seems to appreciate something handmade.   The 3 drawer box with a curved top and side (pictures attached) caused me a bit of trouble.   Joni had preciously asked for a sideboard style cabinet to place between out living and dinning room areas.  After 2-3 month we still hadn't found a design she liked....until she saw the curved band saw box.  I quote "I love that design and want one like that only much bigger"   My question is what suggestions do you have for making the curved top and sides,  I am thinking the sides could be made using walnut plywood by cutting kerfs and bending the plywood over a frame but I am open to other ideas.   The top has me stumped, I have made segmented arches for a table support  but they were only 4" wide and I cut the arch on a band saw.  That would not work for a wide dresser top. Approximate dimensions would be 30" -35" wide and 45- 55" tall and 20-22" deep Thanks in advance for you help DH I realize this isn't a fine precision woodworking question, but I figure you guys have probably dealt with manhandling sheets of plywood. We have about 140 sheets of plywood that we need to put down on a floor. The median age of the guys doing this is somewhere between 65 and 70. Any suggestions for how to safely handle this many sheets of plywood to minimize strains and injuries ? Thanks,  Mark Huys Questions Good Morning, I appreciate the podcast as I continue to learn its been a great resource, thank you! Quick background. I grew up watching PBS's Norm Abram and This Old House but never had much opportunity to learn wood working. As an adult I started learning both construction building and cabinet/furniture making helping others, reading and youtube etc. Starting in basement workshops with mostly benchtop tools. ~15 years into the journey I am starting to get a decent foundation. Recently I built a house with a planned garage workshop and have started outfitting it. Bones are there, lots of organization needed but I have now have 3hp grizzly table saw, bosch miter saw with large counter style station, 8" Grizzly jointer, 24" Grizzly Drum Sander, Grizzly Bandsaw and dust collector Planer still needs upgrading, have a Ridgid 13" but watching for a used 20" helical head. I have been busy chasing used deals! Also recently setup a 10'x10' popup tent with furnace filter setup tied into 12" exhaust fan as a spray booth, works great! Spraying with a Fuji mini mite 5 stage and PPS cup system.  Space is 32'x32' when cars are out with 12' ceiling, in floor heat. Rural northern New York. Not a Rockler or similar store within a days drive but we have ample local sawmills to find solid wood if your willing to mill it and access to cabinet grade plywood delivered from suppliers. With this shop setup I am now building cabinets, furniture, trim, doors etc for our house. Starting in some areas I don't mind making some mistakes. Two areas that I am struggling to figure out: Finishes-your recent episode had some decent comments but I would love a thorough discussion on when you would choose a certain finish over another. In particular thinking of kitchen cabinets, vanities, built in's, kitchen table. High traffic areas. I have played around with conversion varnish from Woodwright. Seems like very durable stuff and I don't mind cleaning up with solvent but when is that necessary vs going with an easier to work with finish such as Sherwin Williams Emerald? Or middle ground lacquer??I do have Bob Flexners book but would love to hear your experiences/ opinions? If I do use conversion varnish how do you handle any touch ups? I have quite a lot of experience with airless on sheetrock so its not a huge jump but any suggestions on HVLP setups, when to use which tips etc. would be helpful. *Doors- I appreciated the conversation on doors recently. I have several very custom interior and exterior doors I want to tackle. I agree with your comments on buying pre hung for standard doors but between custom nature of what we want and because I just want to do it I am going to try to build my own. I want to buy the festool domino machines in time anyhow and I think that would be a good way to build the doors. I would enjoy hearing a conversation on specifics on how you would choose to build interior vs exterior doors, rail and style material vs. panel material vs jamb material. Is there a way to insulate the exterior door? Finishes? If you had the shop described above and both domino size machines what would you do? Thank you! Matt Wendig This one is a wood selection question. I am looking for a wood that has both good elasticity and shock resistance. I am building a Japanese makiwara board, which is a training tool that provides progressive resistance to striking force by the martial artist. The training board is about 55" tall, 5" wide and is tapered - so thick at the base and gradually tapers to the top. This allows for "flex" when the board is struck. In Japan - Japanese beech is typically used, but not readily available near me. I am thinking along the lines of Ash or Elm for my build. I appreciate your thoughts. Crafted Carpentry Tampa Hello gentlemen and thank you for the wonderful podcast. I live in the niagara region in Ontario Canada and for the last while I've been looking at upgrading my current table saw (Ridgid R4520) to something that runs on 220v for more power  or possibly replacing it all together with a bandsaw.  I have an oversized single car garage that houses my furnace, hot water tank, ATV, motorcycle, mechanical shop and woodshop so space is at a premium and that is the motivation to possibly do away with a table saw all together. I have a router table, mitre saw and track saw so I feel all the functions I may lose not having a table saw will still be covered by these tools plus I have a Ridgid job site table saw (R4518ns) I use for the odd job I do off site. I currently have an older 110v 14" king bandsaw that I find severely underpowered and that I want to replace anyways, so with the sale of my current bandsaw and table saw plus my current budget and with some convincing of my wife I'm thinking I'll have roughly $3000-3300CAD to buy either one bandsaw or have to use those fund to buy both a bandsaw and table saw. I am 6'4" and if my memory serves me correctly guy has said Laguna bandsaw tables are closer to the ground and I've quickly looked at some king bandsaw and craftex bandsaws but I'm not sold on them either. So my question question to you guys is, what would you do? Use all the funds on a bandsaw and if so which one and what type of blades should I purchase with it? Or split up the funds to purchase 2 machines and again which ones? And do you go new or used in both of those situations? Thank you ahead of time for taking the time to read and respond to my inquiry. James

Czy można uznać, że Vaclav Havel to czeski odpowiednik Lecha Wałęsy? A Vaclav Klaus Leszka Balcerowicza? Czy czeska lewica, nim prawie zupełnie zniknęła, miała coś wspólnego z polskimi postkomunistami? I gdzie byłby polski PPS, gdyby właśnie postkomuniści nie opanowali swojej części sceny politycznej.O tej i innych kwestiach rozmawiam w najnowszym, 72-gim odcinku Czechostacji z dr Janem Škvrňákiem. Do tej pory Janek - historyk średniowiecza, gościł w Czechach kilkukrotnie, opowiadając właśnie o wydarzeniach i postaciach sprzed ponad pół tysiąca lat. Tym razem jednak pochyliliśmy się nad współczesnością, wychodząc od książki, którą opublikował właśnie w Czechach - "Polsko na rozcestí" - Polska na rozdrożu". To obraz ostatnich czterech dekad politycznych przemian nad Wisłą, widziany oczami czeskiego autora. Książka jest tylko po czesku, ale jeśli ktoś czyta w tym języku, to wiem, że kupić ją można na pewno w księgarni Czeskie Klimaty.O samej książce rozmawiamy jednak raczej niewiele. W pewnym sensie dzisiejsza rozmowa jest kontynuacją tej sprzed tygodnia, tyle, ze wówczas z Pavlem Trojanem opowiadaliśmy o tym, w czym Czesi są podobni do Polaków a czym się różnią. Tym razem, wg tego samego schematu - zestawiamy życie polityczne obu krajów, od początku lat 80-tych do współczesności.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jeśli podcast Wam się podoba i chcecie pomóc go rozwijać, możecie zostać Patronami lub Patronkami Czechostacji w serwisie Patronite.

On April 14, Governor Tina Kotek held a press conference to reaffirm her commitment to protecting students from discrimination based on race, national origin, or immigration status in Oregon schools.The point of the announcement was to focus on the implied future threat from President Trump, but discrimination is already occurring in Portland.For the past decade, the Portland Public School district has been providing extra funding to schools in part on the basis of race (2024-2025 Proposed Budget – Volume 2, pp. 4-5). Students who are Black, Hispanic, Native American, or Pacific Islander are automatically characterized as “historically underserved,” which means the schools they attend receive more money. This is true even if their parents are rich and the students themselves are high achievers.For the current school year, the elementary school receiving the most generous funding is Rosa Parks, with $17,891 per student. The school with the least amount of funding is Richmond, at $7,649.At the high school level, Jefferson receives $15,812 per student, while Grant gets $8,109.It's not clear why Portland school parents have been tolerating this for so long. ORS 659.850 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any public school, and PPS funding is clearly discriminatory.The Governor should stop grandstanding about President Trump, start enforcing civil rights laws in Portland, and put an end to race-based school funding.

Gościem Witolda Jurasza i Zbigniewa Parafianowicza w najnowszym odcinku podcastu Raport Międzynarodowy jest historyk i publicysta Andrzej Krajewski. Punktem wyjścia do rozmowy jest jego książka “Rzeczpospolita kryzysowa”, w której wskazuje na podobieństwa między przedwojenną i współczesną Polską. Opowiada w niej o narodzinach naszej ojczyzny po I Wojnie Światowej, o towarzyszących temu procesowi niesamowitych politycznych turbulencjach, przywodzących niestety na myśl współczesną sytuację w kraju.     Andrzej Krajewski opowiada także o mniej znanych epizodach z historii II Rzeczpospolitej - między innymi o próbie przewrotu z 1919 roku nazywanym puczem Januszajtisa, który był w istocie operetkowym zamachem stanu. Określenie to przylgnęło do buntu części oficerów, bo cały manewr był zorganizowany tak nieudolnie i tak komicznie, że do dziś trwają spory, o co tak na prawdę zamachowcom chodziło. Tym, co uderza, jest jednak nie tyle skala bałaganu, co brak wyciągnięcia jakichkolwiek konsekwencji w stosunku do spiskowców.     Autor “Rzeczpospolitej kryzysowej” zwraca uwagę na specyficzną i niestety przypominjącą czasy współczesne politykę kadrową prowadzoną przez rządzącą w 20-leciu międzywojennym Sanację. Jej istotą było obsadzanie wszystkich stanowisk wyłącznie “swoimi” ludźmi. Wszystko to działo się w warunkach coraz bardziej niepokojącego otoczenia międzynarodowego, które mimo wszystko nie wywołało w ówczesnej polskiej klasie politycznej jakiejkolwiek refleksji. PPS i endecja były ze sobą tak skłócone, że nawet wiszące nad Polską widmo zagrożenia nie było w stanie pchnąć ich działaczy rzucenia w kąt banalnych politycznych podziałów. Temperatura politycznego sporu wciąż rosła.     Andrzej Krajewski zaznacza jednak, że analogię między sytuacją ówczesnej i dzisiejszej Polski nie idą tak niepokojąco daleko, jak mogłoby się wydawać. II Rzeczpospolita nie była w stanie tak naprawdę liczyć na sojuszników, czego doskonałym przykładem było zachowanie ówczesnego premiera Wielkiej Brytanii Lloyda George'a, który w istocie chciał podać Sowietom nasz kraj na talerzu. Jedynie dzięki odparciu bolszewickiej agresji zachodnie mocarstwa zaczęły się z nami liczyć, choć wciąż interesy Polski traktowane były wybiórczo.   Opowiadając o sytuacji międzynarodowej wokół naszej ojczyzny, Krajewski w swojej książce zwraca uwagę, że nieliczni polscy politycy w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej, którzy dostrzegali zagrożenie i chcieli kompromisu, byli odsuwani na boczny tor. Prowadzący podcast pytają Gościa, czy temperatura sporu była, tak jak obecnie, pokłosiem inteligenckości polskiej polityki. Czy przypadkiem tym, co łączy okres II Rzeczypospolitej i współczesność, nie jest właśnie nasza rodzima inteligencja? Czy to tej konkretnej grupie społecznej, od której oczekiwalibyśmy politycznej dojrzałości i odpowiedzialności, brakuje umiejętności wzniesienia się ponad trywialną walkę o władzę i wpływy?

Have you watched this week's YouTube video? I would recommend watching it as it's a really interesting one. I taught a symposium in Idaho late last year and I had a super student on a Lusitano and he started anticipating. So I shared how we worked with him when he started to anticipate the canter transition.If you have a horse that starts anticipating and getting tense, it can be hard. I would recommend working on some circles and patterns and focusing on tempo. Dressage is definitely the hardest sport!I also shared an update about Harvey, he's going to stay with my mom in Colorado for a year to have a break and just hang out in the pasture for a year.I want to remind you all to love and cherish your horses and appreciate every day you have with them.PS.

Julia Lopez has been the Conservative MP for Hornchurch and Upminster since 2017. Her first political experience was working for the then-MP for the Cities of London and Westminster Mark Field, before she became a councillor for Tower Hamlets – working to improve the standards of an area marred in scandal and heightened community tensions. She went on to hold ministerial roles under three Prime Ministers and is now the PPS to Tory leader Kemi Badenoch.   On the podcast, Julia talks to Katy Balls about the impact Margaret Thatcher had on the politics of her family, how she gained political experience touring London's sewers and skyscrapers, and the mixed emotions of becoming an MP in 2017 – when the party lost its majority. She also describes what it was like to fight a campaign five days after giving birth, and her connection to The Spectator – having helped to change the law to protect British media from foreign ownership.   Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

At its March 4th meeting, Portland Public School board will hear an update on the Center for Black Student Excellence (CBSE). The $60 million CBSE was included in the bond measure approved by voters in 2020, without any prior due diligence. None of the money has been spent.It hasn't been spent because no one at PPS can explain what the Center is supposed to be or how it will improve academic performance. Nor has the Board clarified how a center focusing solely on Black students complies with Title VI of the 1964 U.S. Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race.None of those problems are solved in the Power Point being distributed for tonight's meeting.  The handout is a 9-page word salad of phrases like “Pages of Possibility” and “Bridges to Brilliance.” It does propose reading campaigns, parent partnerships, and mentoring programs that could benefit students of all races, but those activities do not require a dedicated building. The Board will be asking voters in May to approve another construction bond in the amount of $1.8 billion. Before demanding more money, PPS should apologize for its failure with the CBSE, and ask voters for permission to reallocate the $60 million to actual construction needs within the District.

Show notes:- Song I Can Only Imagine - My Dad Chuck died two weeks ago. They payed this song at his funeral, and I have always loved this song. So much. - Showing my work - I'm sunsetting this podcast, it's been super fun and now I need this time to pursue my next adventure, which looks like a series of books about erotic tarot readings, and licensing intellectual property. Whoo, that's a combo. - From the doing things outside dept, fruits trees are planted, and layering the biodiversity by way of chickens and bees. - Also grabbed a Library card, and checked out a book. My Hair is a Garden, we are doing our own Black History Month at our house. At the end of the book, it had a section on how to care for black hair and spiked great conversations about differences, and why it important to know, have knowledge base beyond our own personal care. With a five year old. I'm feeling good about my parenting here. Anyway, revelations happen at the library. Micheal Moore once said, you never want to piss off the librarians. The updated term is Mixed Media Specialists, I think.- - I asked my friend Amanda to speak about Ancestor shrines. It replay helped when I was thinking about Chuckles, and grieving the future we would never have together. Can you walk us through an ancestor shrineHow can folks connect with you if they'd like?Theferalsoul.comAs always, you know you best.

The Portland School Board (PPS) wants voters to approve a construction bond measure of $1.8 billion in May. If approved, the measure would authorize the Board to impose taxes on all properties within the district to pay the principal and interest on bonds for the next 30 years. The total cost of debt service would likely be $3.5 billion or more. In any bond campaign, advocates are saying to voters, “trust us.” Should we trust the school board? No. Voters approved a $1.2 billion school bond measure in 2020, which allocated $311 million to rebuild Jefferson high school. Four years later, the budget has been increased to $491 million, but there is no school. The 2020 bond also included $60 million to create something called the Center for Black Student Excellence. None of the money has been spent, and no one at the district can even explain what the Center will be, who will operate it, or how many students it will serve. In 2022, the state legislature gave PPS $120 million to relocate Tubman middle school. The money hasn't been spent, and the district now admits there are no available sites for a new school in NE Portland. The school board needs to show that it can manage money before asking voters for more.
