But what happens when your older protagonist has a murderous past? That’s the hilarious set up for British actor, comedian and author Fergus Craig’s new ‘cracked cosy’ whodunnit I’m Not the Only Murderer in my Retirement Home.

Cross-posted to LessWrong.Summary History's most destructive ideologies—like Nazism, totalitarian communism, and religious fundamentalism—exhibited remarkably similar characteristics: epistemic and moral certainty extreme tribalism dividing humanity into a sacred “us” and an evil “them” a willingness to use whatever means necessary, including brutal violence. Such ideological fanaticism was a major driver of eight of the ten greatest atrocities since 1800, including the Taiping Rebellion, World War II, and the regimes of Stalin, Mao, and Hitler. We focus on ideological fanaticism over related concepts like totalitarianism partly because it better captures terminal preferences, which plausibly matter most as we approach superintelligent AI and technological maturity. Ideological fanaticism is considerably less influential than in the past, controlling only a small fraction of world GDP. Yet at least hundreds of millions still hold fanatical views, many regimes exhibit concerning ideological tendencies, and the past two decades have seen widespread democratic backsliding. The long-term influence of ideological fanaticism is uncertain. Fanaticism faces many disadvantages including a weak starting position, poor epistemics, and difficulty assembling broad coalitions. But it benefits from greater willingness to use extreme measures, fervent mass followings, and a historical tendency to survive and even thrive amid technological and societal upheaval. Beyond complete victory or defeat, multipolarity may [...] ---Outline:(00:16) Summary(05:19) What do we mean by ideological fanaticism?(08:40) I.

Recent news highlights ongoing developments in weight loss treatments like Ozempic, with fresh insights from clinical reviews and patient experiences. On February 11, 2026, Cochrane reviews commissioned by the World Health Organization analyzed GLP-1 drugs including semaglutide, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy. These studies, drawing from dozens of trials with tens of thousands of participants, show semaglutide leads to an average weight loss of about 11 percent after six to 18 months when paired with diet and exercise. Tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound, achieved around 16 percent loss in similar periods. Researchers note these benefits persist during treatment but emphasize limited long-term safety data, common side effects like nausea, and heavy industry funding in most trials. Cochrane reports highlight the need for independent studies on heart health, quality of life, and global access, as high costs limit use in lower-income regions.A Rutgers Health study published this week in the Journal of Medical Internet Research examined why Ozempic users stick with it despite side effects. Analyzing online reviews, researchers found perceived effectiveness in curbing appetite and shedding pounds outweighs issues like stomach upset for most. Lead author Abanoub Armanious noted that everyday users prioritize real results over hype from celebrities or social media. Separately, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers reported on February 11 that GLP-1 drugs like tirzepatide may lower risks of diabetic retinopathy progression in diabetes patients, countering earlier concerns.Oprah Winfrey continues to speak openly about her GLP-1 use, as covered in recent AOL articles. The media icon, who lost about 50 pounds starting in 2023 but regained 20 after briefly stopping, now views these medications as a lifelong tool like blood pressure drugs. Promoting her book Enough, Winfrey shared on The View and her podcast that the drugs silenced constant food thoughts, freeing her from self-blame. She told listeners obesity is not a willpower failure but a brain-driven condition, urging others to seek medical options without shame. Winfrey, who covers costs for friends, also noted reduced alcohol cravings as a bonus.Meanwhile, excitement builds around Eli Lillys oral pill orforglipron, an injectable-free alternative to Ozempic. Phase 3 trials like ATTAIN-1 showed 12.4 percent average weight loss over 72 weeks, with many maintaining results after switching from shots. Walk In reports it could launch in Canada soon, offering daily convenience without fasting, though generics of semaglutide arrive mid-2026 for affordability.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

It's Friday the 13th, so we're talking about the scary stuff… the habits that quietly drain the life out of a podcast. Not the obvious mistakes. The subtle ones. Today, we're reflecting on what can slowly stall your growth. We explore the lack of clarity, poor consistency, and the small choices that add up over time. We share about the practical shifts we've made that make a real difference, and remind you that growth rarely comes from perfection. It comes from intention. We also talk about ways to avoid burnout, and giving yourself permission to adjust when life happens. To close out the week, we celebrate wins from our community. Big and small.

The Senior Care Industry Netcast w/ Valerie V RN BSN & Dawn Fiala
Send a textGrowth stalls when great clients arrive and caregiver applications vanish. We tackle that crunch head-on with a practical, fast-moving playbook to recruit exceptional caregivers in a competitive market—and to keep them after day one. We start by naming the seasonal dip few talk about: tax refunds and school breaks reduce both applications and availability every spring. The fix is to prepare early and compress the entire hiring cycle, so motivated candidates choose your agency within days, not weeks.We walk through a two-day job fair strategy designed less for foot traffic and more for urgency. Promoting on job boards, social, and text lists with “interviews on site” sparks immediate requests to interview now. Pair that momentum with a text-first workflow: a short form screens deal breakers, candidates self-book interviews 24/7, and you run a thorough phone interview without forcing duplicate applications. If they're a fit, invite them to a single in-person orientation where you complete paperwork, run a quick drug screen and background check, teach core skills, and—crucially—hand them initial hours before they leave the building.You'll also get the interview frameworks and ad tactics that separate you from the crowd. We break down open-ended, behavioral, and situational questions that reveal values, reliability, and judgment. Then we show how to write caregiver ads that convert by leading with benefits, not rules: flexible schedules, earned wage access, holiday differentials, paid training, and real 24/7 support. Use our headline formula and include pay ranges to increase clicks, then refresh weekly to stay visible. Finally, plan your funnel with clear math: to hire five, target forty applicants, twenty interviews, and ten orientations.Retention ties it all together. The first 90 days make or break loyalty, so commit to weekly, human check-ins that ask about their experience and solve problems fast. Add meaningful recognition, a simple caregiver newsletter, and mentor support to build community that lasts. Subscribe, share this with an owner who needs a recruiting reset, and leave a quick review telling us which tactic you'll implement this week.Continuum Mastery Circle IntroVisit our website at https://asnhomecaremarketing.comGet Your 11 Free Home Care Marketing Guides: https://bit.ly/homecarerev
Si vous êtes monté dans la voiture d'une ou d'un parfait inconnu aujourd'hui, il y a trois solutions : vous avez commandé un VTC, vous avez pris un taxi, ou vous faites partie des gens qui ont covoituré. Et vous n'êtes pas le seul, parce que des trajets comme le vôtre, il y en a 900 000 par jour en France. Bon, dit comme ça, ça parait beaucoup ; en fait, ça représente un peu moins de 1 % des 100 millions des déplacements quotidiens en voiture. Mais c'est pas rien quand même ! Bon, c'est bien beau tout ça, mais le covoiturage, ça vient d'où ? Si la pratique du covoiturage implique aujourd'hui dans notre esprit un trajet en voiture, le voyage collectif et partagé, ça existe depuis longtemps sous d'autres formes ! ➤ Si vous pensez covoiturer, la Matmut pourrait vous intéresser : https://bit.ly/matmut_covoiturage_NB
Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar Promoting Resilience through Improved Varieties, Quality Seed, and Better Seed Systems: Lessons from Nigeria Part of the Fragility to Stability Seminar Series February 11, 2026 Across sub-Saharan Africa, small-scale, resource-poor farmers are disproportionately affected by climatic and market shocks. Providing them with the tools and technologies to manage these shocks is critical to building resilience, especially in Nigeria, with its considerable diversity. This seminar will showcase novel evidence of how improved crop varieties, quality seed, and better seed systems can lead to improved outcomes in productivity, resilience, and nutrition across several Nigerian states. The event will bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to present and reflect on this evidence, providing insights into adoption, demand, willingness to pay, complementarity of inputs, yields, and household consumption. The discussion will center on lessons for promoting improved inputs across similar settings, with a focus on how inputs can most effectively be marketed to vulnerable households to promote resilience. Introduction and Opening Remarks Oliver Kiptoo Kirui, Research Fellow and Acting Program Leader, IFPRI Nigeria Internal Displacement and the Promotion of Agricultural Intensification in Nigeria Rewa Misra, Head National Policy and Innovative Finance, HarvestPlus-IFPRI Interventions to Accelerate Varietal Turnover and Enhance Seed Resilience in Northern Nigeria Catherine Ragasa, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI New Evidence on the Productivity, Profitability, and Welfare Impacts of Insect-Resistant Cowpea in Nigeria Mulubrhan Amare, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Panel Discussion Chinedu Agbara, Partner, Sahel Consulting Jonathan Mockshell, Scientist and Project Leader, Alliance Bioversity & CIAT Muhyideen Oyekunle, Maize Breeder/Lecturer, Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR) Jada Mohammed, Oxfam Novib Closing Remarks Arun Baral, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), HarvestPlus-IFPRI Moderator Kate Ambler, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI More about this Event: https://www.ifpri.org/event/promoting-resilience-through-improved-varieties-quality-seed-and-better-seed-systems-lessons-from-nigeria/ Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription
Professor Sarah Perkins-Kirpatrick and Professor Mark Howden (pictured) were at the Australian National University's Climate Update 2026.Professor Perkins-Kirkpatrick was the keynote speaker. The event, which had the subtitle "Adaptation from soil to stars", helped people understand why, in 2025, Australia experienced simultaneous flooding in the north and drought in the south. Promoting the event, the university said: "As we travel further from the historical bounds of the Earth's natural systems, climate-fueled disasters are increasingly the new normal. "While still carrying the load of mitigation, Australia must now also plan for a changed climate. Our future policy direction is already being laid down, with the release of the first National Climate Risk Assessment and National Adaptation Plan last year".
Keir Starmer came away from a bruising Prime Minister's Questions encounter having to explain why he appeared to make the same mistake twice. No sooner had the fallout from the Mandelson appointment settled (briefly) than the question of why he'd sent another friend of a paedo to the House of Lords.This time it's his former comms director Matthew Doyle who admitted his error of judgment in campaigning for a sex offender after he was charged by police. What does it tell us about Downing Street, vetting and the House of Lords?Later, is the story of the Murdoch dynasty essentially one of emotional abuse?

Then it spirals into the modern annoyances nobody asked for, like updating your iPhone and suddenly every app decides it needs to re-download like it's starting a brand-new life. From there, the conversation turns into a full-on roast session about getting older: random injuries, gray chin hairs, knees that file complaints the second you try to play Barbies, and the very real realization that your body is disrespectful on purpose. But the main event is the episode's theme: substitute teaching. The hosts break down the different types of subs (drill sergeant, timid, overly-friendly, retired teacher legend), the schools subs learn to avoid, and why a good sub should be treated like VIP because the entire system depends on them. And yes, there's an unforgettable story about a fourth grader delivering a roast so brutal it belongs on the comedy tour. They also get real about teacher stress, using PTO without guilt, lesson plans that nobody actually follows, and why education has become so overwhelming that even "a normal day" can feel like chaos.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, your hosts, Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams tackle one of the biggest threats to dealership growth heading into 2026… staff retention and leadership breakdowns! "Losers allow their emotions to dictate their actions, but winners choose which emotion to use to get the desired result." - LA Williams Dealerships are spending more money than ever recruiting, hiring, and onboarding… only to lose good people faster than they can replace them. Sean and LA break down why the old dealership playbook is no longer working, what today's salespeople and BDC professionals actually value, and how leadership habits inside the store are either building loyalty, or pushing talent out the door. "If your best people don't see a future with you, they'll build one somewhere else." - Sean V. Bradley They also explore how modern tools like AI and automation are changing the market, but why technology alone won't fix a culture problem. This episode shines a light on the leadership mistakes that quietly create turnover, the importance of real training beyond basic sales tactics, and what it takes to create a dealership environment where top performers actually want to stay. If you're a dealer, GM, manager, or team leader trying to build a stable, high-performing team in 2026 and beyond… this episode is a must-listen. At NADA? So are WE!

In the rapidly evolving automotive industry of 2026, dealerships are challenged not only to attract but also keep quality workers amidst technological and cultural shifts. As laid bare in a candid discussion from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, industry veterans Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams delve into the core problem areas and present innovative strategies for car dealerships. They assert that solving retention issues boils down to fortifying leadership, improving workplace culture, and ensuring clear communication. The Changing Landscape of Recruitment and Retention A New Era of Employee Expectations Today's employees desire more than just financial compensation; they seek transparency, flexibility, and a positive workplace environment. Bradley emphasizes, "Employees value time flexibility and transparency, especially the younger generation. They won't tolerate a toxic culture." As such, dealerships need to adapt their recruitment strategies and workplace conditions to align with these expectations. This means offering not just monetary incentives, but valuing employees' time, ensuring work-life balance, and recognizing individual achievements. This shift reflects broader workplace trends where employees are increasingly unafraid to leave unsatisfactory jobs for better opportunities. Building an All-Inclusive Training Strategy Comprehensive training is the backbone of employee satisfaction and retention. Bradley illustrates the importance of multi-faceted development by saying, "If you're not training them on product knowledge, on the road to the sale, on Internet sales… you're not doing enough." Today's sales landscape demands more than traditional selling skills; it requires proficiency in CRM systems, social media, and AI technologies. By setting a high standard and providing adequate resources and training, dealerships can create an empowered workforce capable of exceeding sales goals. Culture and Leadership: The Heart of Employee Retention Nurturing a Positive Workplace Culture Workplace culture is the invisible force that significantly influences employee retention. Williams and Bradley highlight how recognition and respectful treatment can transform workplace morale. Bradley candidly shares, "Happy employees equal happy customers." When employees feel valued and recognized, their dedication and loyalty grow, which in turn positively influences customer experiences. To foster such a culture, dealerships should focus on team-building and personal development alongside professional growth. Celebrating personal milestones and achievements through social media or team meetings fosters a sense of community and belonging. Providing emotional and practical support not just ensures employee well-being but results in enhanced performance and customer satisfaction. Fixing Leadership Gaps to Drive Success A crucial step in improving employee retention is addressing leadership deficiencies. As Williams asserts, "Top salespeople don't automatically make great leaders… Leadership development is paramount." Promoting based purely on sales success can lead to leadership gaps; instead, focus should be on developing comprehensive management skills amongst promising employees. Managers should embrace roles that include mentorship and coaching, striving for emotional intelligence, and delivering fair criticism in a constructive manner. Regular one-on-ones and feedback sessions should be structured not just for performance reviews, but for mutual growth and progression. Creating clear career paths for every role reflects a transparent approach, ensuring employees see their future potential within the company. Reputation, Social Proof, and Retention The Power of Social Proof Through Online Reputation In today's digital landscape, online reviews extend beyond customer opinions and into employment evaluations. Many dealerships remain unaware of how platforms like Glassdoor and Indeed are crucial in shaping perceptions of potential hires. Bradley stresses the importance of these review sites, stating, "People research your store before they apply." Negative employment reviews can deter top talent from joining a dealership. Proactively managing these reviews can enhance a dealership's appeal, suggesting a focus on reputation management alongside customer service. Positive employment reviews reinforce trust and attract quality candidates, ultimately aiding in achieving retention goals and enhancing overall dealership reputation. Aligning Brand and Employment Messaging The alignment of external brand communication with internal employee experience creates a strong market position and fosters employee loyalty. Bradley champions this by advocating for consistent positive messaging on dealership social media, celebrating employee milestones and achievements. This tactic not only strengthens workforce morale but also attracts potential employees by spotlighting a vibrant, supportive workplace culture. Intertwining these aspects — adopting modern recruitment practices, refining leadership qualities, and enhancing online reputation — sets a solid foundation for enduring success amidst the complexities of 2026. Following the Buick slogan "When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them," progressive dealerships will attract and retain top-tier talent by building better workplaces first. The future belongs to dealerships that not only adapt to change but forge change, beginning within their own ranks.

The conversation culminates in a reflection on the spiritual dimensions of teaching and the profound impact it can have on both instructors and students. TAKEAWAYS Larry Tatum has over 60 years of martial arts experience. His journey began with judo and transitioned to Kenpo at age 15. Martial arts provided him with discipline and improved his academic performance. The culture at Ed Parker's school emphasized respect and acknowledgment. Training involved sparring with older, more experienced practitioners. Martial arts teaches students to embrace reality and break down emotional walls. Teaching should focus on communication and understanding beyond physical techniques. Larry emphasizes the importance of parables in teaching martial arts. He believes that martial arts can help individuals find their place in society. Cultural significance in techniques teaches ethical behavior. The more you teach, the more you learn.

Promoting your top salesperson to manager seems like a no-brainer. They exceeded every target, so leading a team should be easy, right? Wrong. Star performers often succeed through "unconscious competence"—they're naturally gifted but can't explain their methods to others. Without management training, they struggle with coaching, delegation, and difficult conversations. Your sales champion becomes a frustrated manager leading an underperforming team. The solution? Assess leadership potential separately from sales performance. Does this person enjoy developing others? Can they handle conflict constructively? Forward-thinking companies now offer dual career paths—letting top performers advance without managing people. For those who do lead, provide structured training and mentorship. Management isn't a reward for individual success; it's a distinct skill requiring dedicated development. Great salespeople deserve recognition. Great managers deserve proper preparation. Ashley Herd

Podcasting takes time. Usually more time than you expect. If your show feels like a lot of work with very little return, the problem probably isn't your commitment. It's your production process. I see this all the time as a podcast coach. Podcasters reacting week to week instead of working from a repeatable system. Scrambling for topics. Recording whenever there's a free moment. Editing on the fly. Publishing late. Promoting inconsistently. It's common, but it's also the fastest way to burn out before your podcast ever pays off. In this episode, I break down why efficiency matters more than hustle when it comes to podcasting for your business. Not because podcasting should be easy, but because narrowing the gap between effort and return is the only way to stay consistent long enough to see results. You'll hear what actually makes a podcast production process efficient, what most podcasters are missing, and how a clear structure, intentional batching, and a documented workflow can dramatically reduce the time and energy cost of your show. This isn't about cutting corners. It's about building a process that supports consistency, quality, and long-term momentum. If you're just starting out, efficiency helps you build the right habits from day one. If you're already podcasting and wondering why the return doesn't match the effort, this episode will help you see where things are breaking down. If you want help tightening up your production process or figuring out how to get it right from day one, book a free private podcast coaching call.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: US Ambassador Makes An ImpressionUS ambassadorial nominee Billy Long, made another joke, endearing him to the Icelandic nation prior to his arrival as ambassador. Last time he made the joke that he had wanted to manage ICE, but had been misheard by Trump and instead appointed ambassador to Iceland. Last week in congress, Billy was overheard joking that he was going to become Iceland's first governor, instead of ambassador, as Iceland became the USA's 52nd state. This did not vote well with the Icelandic public, presuming that Greenland would become the 51st state.Attempt At Soliciting Prostitutions Leads MP To ResignGuðbrandur Einarsson, an MP for Viðreisn (the Reform Party), has resigned from Parliament due to an attempted purchase of prostitution in 2012. He was questioned by police at the time but says he was never charged. He decided to step down after local news outlet Vísir planned to report on the case.Greenland Drama ContinuesIn an effort to put pressure on fellow NATO allies in his continued effort of gobbling up Greenland, President Trump put tariffs on all the Scandinavian countries, Germany, France and the Netherlands, but not Iceland. Promoting suggestions that Trump simply forgot Iceland. Foreign citizens 20% of Iceland's populationForeign citizens living in Iceland are now 83.950, or just above 20% of the total population. Five years ago, they were 15%. The proportion of foreign nationals living in some municipalities reaches almost 70%, that is 67,4% in Vík í Myrdal, 46% in Skaftárhreppur, and 39% in Bláskógabyggð. All these municipalities are in the South of Iceland, all are popular tourist destinations. According to Statistics Iceland, at least 44% of the people working in the tourism sector, are foreign nationals.
