In this powerful episode, I share the exact transformation strategy I used to radically reshape my body, reclaim my energy, and rebuild my business—from the inside out. You'll learn how I: Dropped 14 lbs of body fat in 6 months without giving up wine or carbs Switched from heavy barbell training to dumbbells for faster fat loss and recovery Balanced hormones and crushed inflammation with GLP-1 microdosing Used peptides like BPC-157 and NAD to support recovery, digestion, and anti-aging Finally created a physique that women actually aspire to—long, lean, toned, and feminine Simplified my life and company to reconnect with what matters most: health, strength, and service Whether you're navigating perimenopause, struggling with cravings, or just tired of traditional fitness advice that no longer works in midlife, this episode will shift how you think about fat loss, muscle building, and modern wellness.

https://jo.my/qnfqcr Electrical Safety Awareness: Lockout Tagout Safety Cutting power is the most effective way to mitigate risk. Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) for electrical systems prevents every conveyor, shrink-wrap machine, and charging station from starting unexpectedly while personnel work inside the guard. It's a simple promise: no voltage, no surprise. Break that promise, and the motor doesn't care who's in the pinch zone. LOTO begins before the breaker handle moves and ends only when every lock is released in the correct order. The steps appear routine, yet skipping one can cause a live circuit to be activated or leave hidden energy in a capacitor. Treat the procedure like a flight checklist, because both protect lives and expensive equipment. Here are a few tips to assist you with Lockout Principles for Electrical Systems: Follow the book every time. Use the posted LOTO procedure word-for-word. Shortcuts invite errors and confuse the next shift. Prove zero. After isolating, use a calibrated meter to confirm that the voltage reads zero before hands or tools cross the guard. Test the tester on a live source first and after the check. Limit locks to the trained. Only employees on the authorized roster are permitted to hang locks or tags. Visitors and new hires observe but refrain from touching. Respect personal locks. Never remove or bypass someone else's device. Each lock equals a life. Track down the person or a supervisor if a lock blocks startup. Tag with clarity. Write your full name, department, date, and phone on every tag. Precise contact info speeds coordination when multiple crews share the same panel. A solid LOTO program stops more than shocks. It prevents sudden motion that can crush, cut, or eject parts. It also protects assets; an unexpected restart can wipe out hours of production and damage motors beyond repair. One of the top priorities of a solid Safety Culture is ensuring the well-being of everyone, both inside and outside the workplace. LOTO embodies that priority by forcing a pause and a double-check before anyone reaches into energized gear. Keep procedures visible, meters calibrated, and training records up to date. Your consistency keeps the switch between safe and dangerous firmly in the off position. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time – have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #SafetyCulture #ElectricalSafety #LOTO #LockoutTagout

“Vax to the Future: Cancer Immunity Revolution

The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the recording dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 04/03/25 ; 04/06/25 ; 04/10/25 ; 04/28/25 ; 05/07/25 What Is the Exact Placement of Tefillin Shel Yad—and How Precise Must It Be? The Torah instructs us to bind Tefillin "al zero'ekha"—on your arm. But where exactly is that? This Halacha explores the required placement of the Tefillin Shel Yad according to Halacha and Kabbala, how precise we must be with its position, and how to properly wear both Rashi and Rabbenu Tam Tefillin on the arm at the same time. What Is the Required Area for the Tefillin Shel Yad? The Torah uses the phrase "al zero'ekha" — upon your arm — and the Gemara clarifies that this refers to the bicep, specifically the upper part of the arm between the shoulder and the elbow. The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 27:1) rules that the Tefillin must be placed on the inner part of the bicep, facing the heart. This physical location expresses the idea of subjugating the heart to Hashem. The Tefillin Shel Yad represents control over the heart — the source of our emotions and desires — directing our inner feelings toward Avodat Hashem. There are two key placement criteria: 1. The Tefillin must be entirely above the elbow joint — even partially below the joint renders it Pasul. 2. The Tefillin must be placed on the fleshy part of the bicep — not too high where it sits on the shoulder bone, and not too low where it might encroach on the elbow itself. How Precise Does the Placement Need to Be? According to the Shulhan Aruch and Poskim, the correct position is between the midpoint of the bicep and the elbow, but slightly closer to the elbow than the shoulder. That is the ideal range. The Tefillin should not be too high — even one fingerbreadth above the permitted area can be a problem. Likewise, if the Bayit is touching or resting on the elbow joint itself, the Tefillin may be invalid. To help people keep within the boundaries, I recommend that the bottom of the Bayit should rest just above the elbow bone — close, but clearly above it. This guarantees the placement is kosher and within the Halachic zone. Some Poskim, like the Vilna Gaon, insist on precise mid-bicep placement. Others, like the Ben Ish Hai, suggest placing the Tefillin slightly lower — closer to the elbow — so long as it stays well above the joint. Our practice, based on the view of Maran and the Mekubalim, is to angle the Tefillin slightly downward, toward the elbow and heart. This not only fulfills the physical requirement, but also expresses the spiritual symbolism. Can It Be Placed Too Far Inward or Too Far Outward? Absolutely. The Tefillin Shel Yad must be placed on the inner side of the bicep, the part that faces the heart when the arm is resting down by the side. If it's wrapped too far around to the outer arm — or angled too far behind the bicep — it can be invalid. Some people make the mistake of pulling the strap too tightly, causing the Bayit to slide or rotate inward, pressing into the side of the arm. That may look secure, but it can distort the shape or angle of the Bayit. The Tefillin should rest flat, facing straight ahead, and not be forced inward or outward by pressure from the strap. How Should One Wear Both Rashi and Rabbenu Tam Tefillin on the Same Arm? Many Sepharadim, especially those following the teachings of the Arizal and Ben Ish Hai, wear both Rashi and Rabbenu Tam Tefillin during Shahrit. The Halacha permits wearing both Shel Yad Tefillin at the same time — but only if both boxes are positioned vertically, one above the other, within the Halachic zone. Typically, the Rashi is placed first, closer to the elbow, and the Rabbenu Tam slightly above it. This stacking is valid as long as both remain within the required area. However, one must never place the two boxes side by side (horizontally across the arm). That is Pasul. The Halacha demands the Tefillin be placed "on your arm," not "around your arm." Horizontally-spaced boxes do not fulfill the Misva at all. What If a Person Has a Smaller Arm and Can't Fit Both Tefillin? In many cases — especially with younger boys or people with thinner arms — there may not be enough room to fit both Tefillin one above the other. In that case, it is better to wear Rashi first, remove it, and then wear Rabbenu Tam afterward. There is no need to force both on at once. It's more important that each Tefillin is worn correctly and within the Halachic boundaries. Halacha never requires a person to compromise proper placement just to fulfill both customs simultaneously. If there is room, both can be worn together. If not, one after the other is perfectly acceptable and often preferred. Summary - The Tefillin Shel Yad must be worn on the inner bicep, above the elbow, angled toward the heart. - It must be entirely within the zone between the elbow and the shoulder, not sitting too high on the shoulder bone and not touching the elbow joint. - The Bayit should sit flat and upright — not twisted, not rotated inward, and not pushed outward by the strap. - When wearing both Rashi and Rabbenu Tam Tefillin, they must be placed vertically, one above the other — never side by side. - If the arm is too small to fit both boxes properly, one should wear them separately, rather than compromising on Halachic placement.

The National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) has published its 2024 Year in Review, highlighting a transformative year of progress in areas critical to Ireland's future, including housing innovation, digital resilience, and sustainability. In a year of global uncertainty and rapid advances in areas like cybersecurity, NSAI played a pivotal role in supporting business competitiveness and advancing Ireland's strategic ambitions under Housing for All, the Climate Action Plan, and the Digital Europe Programme. Minister of State with responsibility for Employment, Small Business and Retail, Alan Dillon TD said: "The NSAI plays a vital role in strengthening Ireland's business ecosystem. From enabling housing innovation through Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) to advancing cybersecurity and sustainability, NSAI's Year in Review displays how the organisation supports our industries to grow safely, smartly, and compete internationally. The Year in Review reflects the important role NSAI plays in supporting Irish businesses and setting and maintaining world-class standards, measurement services and certification systems." In 2024, NSAI advanced key pillars of its Strategic Plan 2022-2026 in the areas of housing, digital transformation, climate and MedTech through standards, metrology and certification that directly support Ireland's Programme for Government and economic growth. Geraldine Larkin, NSAI CEO, said: "NSAI is committed to supporting businesses to enable growth, competitiveness and long-term success. We're proud to act as a bridge between innovation and assurance, empowering Irish businesses of all sizes to operate with confidence, integrity, and international credibility. Whether it's bringing a new MMC housing system to market or achieving ISO certification in information security, we ensure companies can move faster, meet expectations, and lead by example." Key highlights from the report include: Supporting housing innovation: With 80 new MMC enquiries and 48 new applications received in 2024, NSAI's MMC department is supporting faster, safer and more efficient construction outcomes. NSAI's Sustainability and Built Environment department approved 1,132 construction products last year and NSAI established a dedicated Building Information Modelling department before Christmas. Agrément certification is specifically aimed at products or systems that are new or innovative. The KORE group in Cavan, for example, achieved MMC Agrément certification through NSAI for its insulated concrete formwork system and its insulated foundation system. Caroline Ashe Brady, Commercial Director with the Kore Group said: "NSAI's rigorous assessment process has been crucial in enabling us to bring next-generation construction solutions to market with confidence. MMC Agrément certification helps manufacturers in the construction industry, like ours, to meet both compliance requirements and sustainability goals." Cybersecurity at the forefront: In September 2024, NSAI was appointed lead co-ordinator for the EU TrustBoost programme, aimed at strengthening cybersecurity certification across the EU. With threats to data privacy and digital infrastructure on the rise, this initiative under the Digital Europe Programme is helping to develop new technologies and tools to create a more secure digital ecosystem for Europe. Separately, NSAI developed a new certification readiness tool for Irish SMEs around information security. Innovation and excellence through standards: As Ireland prepares to take over the presidency of the Council of the EU in July 2026, NSAI continues to take a leading on the role of standards in support of the single market. This is a vital role at national and European level. In 2024: 1,467 standards were published 286,209 standards were accessed 200 new members joined technical committees (there are now over 2,400 national committee members) Precise measuring for trade: NSAI's Nati...

Over the past several years, most of the returns in real estate have been generated because of declining interest rates and cap rates. If you just held on to properties long enough, even without successfully executing on a business plan, you fared well. However, an oversupply of capital resulted in overly unrealistic underwriting for both lenders and operators, and distress has ensued. In more recent years, the tide has changed, and a much higher degree of expertise is required to be successful. Jack Cohen, Managing Director of ArrowMark Partners, and prior owner of Cohen Financial, has a 40+ career in commercial real estate lending and investing, and was one of the largest commercial real estate lenders in the nation.

When we talk about eating and drinking - is drinking included in an oath about eating, or not? With practical implications for whether offerings would be required after violating the oath (or perhaps not). Also, the case of one who takes an oath not to drink - without specification - and then drinks many things - he still is liable only for one offering. What if he gives a list of things he won't drink? Is that to exclude everything else, that he might be willing to drink, or is it just about the moment and the beverages before him? How complete of a statement does he need?

The discussion details the multi-course menu, cooking techniques, and logistics, highlighting Deron's passion for cooking as a hobby.Sautéed Shrimp with Garlic Cream Sauce: Fresh Louisiana Gulf shrimp sautéed in butter, served with a creamy sauce made from shallots, garlic, white wine reduction, heavy cream, and thickened with dry roux. Inspired by a restaurant sauce, tweaked after testing.Fried Cabbage Patties with Blue Crab Topping: Cabbage boiled, mixed with grated carrots, shallots, garlic, tomato pesto, breadcrumbs, egg, and flour, formed into patties, frozen, and pan-fried. Topped with a lump blue crab mixture with bell peppers, tomato pesto, and parsley.Asparagus: Parboiled, ice-bathed for vibrant color, tossed with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then broiled briefly.Boudin Rice: Smoked boudin (Cajun sausage and rice) sautéed, mixed with rice browned in butter and cooked in chicken stock, inspired by a local restaurant.Sweet Potato Mash: Cubed sweet potatoes roasted, deep-fried, mixed with bacon, shallots, corn, and cousin Craig and Desi's Vermont maple syrup, adapted from a creamed recipe.Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail and Blueberry Red Wine Glaze: Small filets pan-seared in clarified butter, finished in the oven, topped with butter-sautéed lobster tail. Glaze made from shallots, reduced Cabernet Sauvignon, mashed blueberries, beef stock, butter, and cornstarch slurry, prepared a week prior.Melting Lava Cake: Chocolate (60% bittersweet) and butter melted, mixed with eggs, sugar, orange zest, and flour, baked at 500°F for a short time to keep the center gooey. Served with ice cream and orange zest garnish, prepared the day before in large ramekins, affecting presentation but not taste.Preparation: Deron planned for weeks, prepping components (patties, glaze, dessert) days or a week in advance. Mise en place (pre-chopping ingredients) was critical for efficiency.Logistics: With Madi's help, Deron managed a restaurant-style service, serving appetizers sequentially and keeping dishes warm in a low oven. One pan was reused and washed six times.Tips:Use fresh, quality ingredients (e.g., Gulf shrimp, lump crab).Shallots preferred over onions for faster caramelization; clarified butter for high-heat cooking without burning.Ice bath for vegetables to stop cooking and retain color; reduce wine by half for sauces.Precise baking measurements for desserts, unlike stovetop flexibility.Personal Touch: Deron adapted recipes (e.g., cubed vs. creamed sweet potatoes, maple syrup addition), emphasizing creativity and family preferences (e.g., no cheese for Pam).Challenges: Large ramekins caused lava cake to collapse; crab egg rolls lacked texture in past attempts.Future Plans: Deron plans a less elaborate menu with chicken avocado egg rolls, Eggplant Pontchartrain, and Bananas Foster (a New Orleans dessert with butter, brown sugar, bananas, and optional flambé).Sentiment: Deron and Madi had a blast cooking together, treating the meal as a fun, rewarding project. The family enjoyed the food, with honest feedback encouraged to refine future dishes. Deron sees cooking as a joyful hobby, akin to a “double dip” of pleasing others and himself.

Magician, Swiss Watchmaker, Aloof, Elegant, Precise, Soulful, Childlike, Naive, Warm: these are all words that have been used to describe Maurice Ravel, a man of elegant contradictions. But perhaps these contradictions are why his music remains so beloved and universally appealing to so many musicians and audience members. Ravel has long been one of my favorite composers, and I always adore listening to his music and performing it. For the 150th anniversary of his birth, the legendary publishing house of G Henle has decided to focus on Ravel and his circle this year, calling this series Ravel and Friends. A few months ago, the Henle office contacted me to ask if I would be willing to collaborate with them on a series of Sticky Notes episodes about Ravel, each one focusing on the relationship between Ravel and another composer who was in his circle. This sounded like an amazing idea, and so I jumped at the chance to work with them. So, over the course of the next 5-6 months, you will be seeing 5 episodes under the Ravel and Friends theme. Today's episode will be a chance to do an overview on Ravel himself and to take a look at some major works that I haven't gotten around to covering on the show yet. We'll then finish the show with an interview with the great pianist Boris Giltburg, as we discuss the solo piano verison of Ravel's La Valse, one of the most challenging pieces in the entire repertoire. Later episodes will include a look at Ravel's relationships with Debussy, Gershwin, and De Falla, and much more! This is such an exciting chance to take a deeper look at one of the greatest 19th and 20th century composers, as well as take a look at the broader musical and social trends of that era, something I've always been deeply interested in.
