He Interrupted Her Mid-Sentence and Said "I Don't Agree." She Asked: "How Many Recruitment Drives Have You Led?" CHRO Deepashri on Standing Your Ground It was her first day in a new role. The leadership team was deep into planning the launch of a major production system. She raised her hand and asked: "What about the people strategy?" Everyone looked at her like she was speaking a different language. "What does people have to do with this? It's a manufacturing system." She asked again. Still dismissed. Still polite. Still ignored. She could have let it go. Instead, she spent six months building an irrefutable business case. She spoke to the consultants. She researched the ROI. She calculated exactly what would be lost if people failed to adopt the system. She pre-worked the stakeholders she already had relationships with, one by one, so she would not be the only voice in the room when the moment came. Then she walked into a meeting with the global head of manufacturing, the global head of HR, and the other senior sponsors. She was the only woman in the room. She was a nervous wreck. She had her game face on. She got the budget. She got the resources. She built a people pillar that outlasted her, survived an acquisition, and is still running today. Deepashri is Chief Human Resources Officer at 8th Ave Food and Provisions. In this episode, she shares two very different stories of standing her ground at work — one strategic and six months in the making, one instinctive and decided in seconds — and what she learned from both. You'll learn: Why she refused to use HR buzzwords like "empathy" or "doing the right thing" when pitching to hard-nosed manufacturing executives, and what she said instead to make her idea impossible to ignore. The pre-meeting strategy she uses before any high-stakes pitch: influence the people you already have relationships with one-on-one first, so you are never the only advocate in the room. How she walked into the biggest pitch of her career feeling like a nervous wreck, knowing that if she failed, she would be "just another person on the leadership team with no voice." The investment banker who interrupted her mid-sentence and said "I don't agree." What she said back, why she still calls him a friend today, and what happened when she pulled it off. Why she thought she was being assertive in a conversation that completely failed to land, what her coach told her, and the three-part technique she developed to deliver the most difficult messages in a way that registered clearly without feeling disrespectful. Why assertiveness looks and sounds different across cultures, and how she learned to calibrate between India's indirect communication style and the blunt directness expected in U.S. corporate environments. Her best career compliment: "Deeps will tell you the most difficult things in the nicest possible way." About Deepashri: Chief Human Resources Officer at 8th Ave Food and Provisions, Deepashri has built her career across global HR, change management, and organizational transformation roles in India and the United States. She is a coach, storyteller, and advocate for assertive communication across cultures.

God desires for us to win every fight of faith and walk perfectly in our calling. However, He knew we would have faith shortcomings that would cause us to lose a few faith fights and take a few wrong turns along the journey of our calling. With this foreknowledge, before He called you, He made provisions for your faith shortcomings so you would still win in the end. __________ Luke 22:31–34 NLT, Luke 22:54–62 NLT, Matthew 13:23 KJV, Romans 12:2 KJV, Matthew 14:25–31 KJV, John 21:15–19 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
Provisions! Seemingly a simple standard to get the easy marks, but it isn't always the low-hanging fruit we expect.In this episode, I introduce IAS 37 Provisions from the ground up. Provisions are very examinable, and let's face it, they can look easy at first. But the examiner can make them tricky very quickly. I explain what a provision is, why the standard exists, and the three key recognition criteria: a present obligation from a past event, a probable outflow of economic benefits, and a reliable estimate.You will learn how to apply IAS 37 in exam-style scenarios, including legal claims, environmental clean-up obligations, contingent liabilities, and the all-or-nothing approach to recognition. I also show how provisions affect profit or loss, the statement of financial position, cash flow, EPS, and even deferred tax. The aim is simple: help you pick up the easy marks, structure your answer properly, and stay calm when the examiner adds a twist.Thanks for listening to this episode of Pass Your SBR ACCA Exams with Tom Clendon.If you'd like to view the exam question on screen and see my working, subscribe to the YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tomclendonSBR.For access to on-demand support and guidance for your ACCA SBR Journey, visit my website to see my current course offering: https://tomclendon.co.uk/.Chapters:(00:00) Why provisions are examinable(01:24) What is a provision?(02:47) Why IAS 37 exists(04:08) The three recognition criteria(04:35) Legal and constructive obligations(05:42) The all-or-nothing approach(06:22) When it becomes a contingent liability(07:06) The double entry and cash flow link(08:34) When provisions are capitalised(09:35) Worked example: unfair dismissal claim(13:28) Environmental clean-up provision(17:09) Deferred tax implications

A quiet corner of Adventureland sits directly across from Pirates of the Caribbean but rarely feels like part of the larger story unfolding around it. This week Stephen reimagines that space by repurposing Tortuga Tavern and its adjacent unused stage into Port Royal Provisions, a quick service port eatery paired with a live civic stage that turns everyday guest flow into part of a living breathing harbor town.The result is a layered environment where the civilian side of the Caribbean world responds to constant pirate activity just offshore. From British Caribbean inspired quick service food to civic announcements and reactive storytelling moments, the entire area is designed to feel orderly on the surface with tension always just beyond the waterline. The goal is simple make this forgotten pocket of Adventureland feel intentional connected and alive.Plus for the second week in a row we are featuring a listener submitted Imagineering pitch this time from Marshal Knight who brings a bold idea that relocates an existing Magic Kingdom attraction to EPCOT in a way that just makes sense.Don't forget to check us out on Instagram!

The MAFFEO DRINKS Podcast is a leading drinks business podcast, listened to in 120 countries worldwide. Not the conference version. Honest conversations about how the industry actually works, from the bar, not the boardroom. This Episode is hosted by Chris Maffeo and brought to you by MAFFEO DRINKS.In this episode, Heather Greene shares her journey from Scotland's Scotch Malt Whisky Society and William Grant & Sons to founding Milam & Greene in Texas, drawn by the chance to explore how the Texas climate shapes bourbon and rye.She discusses what's changed in whiskey: broader, newer audiences and the need to keep “Whiskey 101” welcoming despite online gatekeeping and rigid rules. We talk about blending as a once-taboo trend, climate-driven aging experiments, and a new Provisions bourbon designed for easy, social drinking.Heather Greene recently stepped back from her role as CEO and now sits on the board while consulting for brands as a strategist and Master Blender. The conversation covers the shrinking playbook for craft spirits, the pivot from local-first to national-first out of necessity, how press access becomes survival, and why new consumer waves keep asking the same questions the industry is tired of answering. It's a field-level account of what the drinks ecosystem actually looks like when the wolves come back.Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:26 Heather's Whiskey Journey01:18 Why Texas Whiskey03:12 Whiskey Industry Shifts06:29 Keeping Whiskey Welcoming10:37 Local vs National Strategy19:29 Pandemic Pivot Playbook24:00 No Playbook for Survival26:16 Leading Through Uncertainty27:19 Humility and Curiosity Win27:50 Stepping Down as CEO29:28 Whiskey Planning Horizons31:08 Betting on Blends32:50 Climate-Driven Whiskey34:47 Market Boots On36:58 Social Terroir Explained41:33 Tradition Versus Creativity46:22 House of Whiskeys Strategy47:48 Provisions This Episode is hosted by Chris Maffeo and brought to you by MAFFEO DRINKS.

President Trump promised that new tax provisions in his One Big Beautiful Bill would deliver a windfall to millions of Americans. No more taxes on overtime. No taxes on tips. No taxes on Social Security payments. While many taxpayers are seeing larger tax refunds this year, the fine print behind Trump's promises means these tax breaks have been smaller than many expected. We look at the impact of changes in the tax code and who stands to benefit the most. And if you haven't submitted your returns yet, we want to hear from you: What questions do you still have before the midnight filing deadline.

John is joined by Todd Anten, partner in Quinn Emanuel's New York office and co-chair of the firm's Trademark, Copyright, and Trade Secret practices, and Owen F. Roberts, partner in Quinn Emanuel's New York office. They discuss a sixteen-year copyright dispute involving two appeals to the Second Circuit that centered on the scope of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's safe harbor provision. The plaintiffs were major music publishers and recording companies that own the copyrights to some of the world's most famous songs. The defendant, represented by a Quinn Emanuel team led by Todd and Owen, was Vimeo, a popular video hosting and video sharing platform. The plaintiffs alleged that Vimeo should be held liable for copyright infringement based on users who posted videos incorporating the plaintiffs' music without permission. The core issue was whether Vimeo was protected by the DMCA's safe harbor provisions, which shield platforms such as Vimeo from copyright liability for the acts of their users as long as they comply with certain requirements.Among those requirements are that: (1) the platform does not have “the right or ability to control” allegedly infringing activity; and (2) the platform removes user-posted videos upon receiving sufficient knowledge of infringement, for example, the receipt of a DMCA notice from the copyright holder, or “red flag” knowledge that a video is obviously infringing. The plaintiffs argued that Vimeo did not satisfy these requirements. First, they argued that Vimeo's voluntary internal moderation practices, such as the removal of unwanted videos, demonstrated that Vimeo controlled users' infringing activity. Second, although the plaintiffs never sent Vimeo a DMCA takedown notice, they argued that Vimeo staff's awareness that certain videos contained famous songs was enough to raise an inference of Vimeo's “red flag” knowledge, imposing a duty on Vimeo staff to remove such videos on sight. In its defense, Vimeo argued that voluntary removal of unwanted videos (for example, bullying, sexual content, or advertising) did not disqualify it from safe harbor eligibility because it is consistent with the sort of moderation that Congress encouraged in the statute. Vimeo further argued that an ordinary Vimeo employee could not reasonably know whether a video is “obviously” infringing on sight and that the plaintiffs were in fact seeking an end-run around the DMCA notice-and-takedown regime.The Second Circuit agreed with Vimeo. It first concluded in 2016 that mere awareness that a video contains a famous song is not enough to show that it is obviously infringing; it could be authorized or a fair use, which are fact-intensive determinations. As the Court noted, even judges and copyright scholars have difficulty assessing the boundaries of fair use. The Court emphasized that copyright holders were not without remedy—they could send DMCA takedown notices for expeditious removal, which is the deliberate bargain that Congress struck. In 2025, the Second Circuit further ruled that a platform does not forfeit safe harbor by voluntarily removing unwanted videos, as such activity does not rise to providing “substantial influence” in the creation of infringing videos, and such moderation is inherent in promoting the advancement of technology.These outcomes reinforce the importance of the DMCA's statutory notice-and-takedown regime, and underscore that a copyright holder's desire for a new system is an issue to bring to Congress, not to the courts.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Two AICPA tax experts from the Washington, D.C., office joined the JofA podcast to discuss a recent Government Accountability Office report on paid tax return preparers and why its findings matter during a busy filing season. Melanie Lauridsen, vice president–Tax Policy & Advocacy, and Todd Sloves, director–Congressional & Political Affairs, break down bipartisan legislation in Congress — including the TAS Act — and explain how its provisions could strengthen oversight and modernize IRS processes. The conversation also highlights the SAFE Act and its aim to simplify the task of filing extensions for taxpayers and practitioners. The Q&A also outlines where broad consensus exists in the tax community and why this moment could be pivotal for long‑awaited tax administration reforms. What you'll learn from this episode: What the statistics in a GAO report on paid tax return preparers show. How minimum professional standards could strengthen IRS oversight, and why the AICPA supports establishing competency and regulatory guardrails for all preparers. Provisions in the TAS Act recently introduced in the Senate, including reforms shaped by bipartisan work and those aimed at improving taxpayer service.

What happens when the people we're supposed to trust break their promises?This week's episode dives into some uncomfortable truths about crowdfunding culture. The conversation kicks off with James Van Der Beek's trust-funded ranch purchase and a professional football player soliciting donations despite earning millions, both examples of wealthy people exploiting public generosity. (Because apparently having money doesn't mean you want to spend it.) The discussion gets particularly heated around a Buffalo business called Biker Bar, which raised significant funds before relocating to Miami without fulfilling orders.Beyond the crowdfunding drama, there's also talk about stolen phones at fitness classes, Valentine's Day dinner at Prescott's Provisions, and a touching memorial for a woman who dined out seven nights a week just to be around people. The speakers also share their thoughts on The 'Burbs remake, which they found disappointing, and their take on the new season of Love is Blind.
In this episode, Jason Crawford, Agustin Orozco, and Will Tucker discuss the latest developments in connection with constitutional challenges to the qui tam provisions since the district court ruling in U.S. ex. rel. Zafirov v. Florida Medical Associates LLC. "Let's Talk FCA" is Crowell & Moring's podcast covering the latest developments with the False Claims Act.

Lebanon's Failure to Disarm Hezbollah Amid Regeneration — John Batchelor, Bill Roggio, David Daoud — Roggio documents that the Lebanese government continues to systematically refuse enforcement of Hezbollahdisarmament provisions negotiated in the ceasefire agreement one year prior, instead employing rhetorical frameworks of "dialogue and consensus." Daoud reports that the Trump administration is growing impatient with this intransigence, explicitly setting deadlines for Lebanese compliance and action. Batchelor emphasizes that Hezbollah is regenerating with unprecedented speed, focusing on easily manufactured assets including drone swarms, rendering the Lebanesestrategic concept of "containment" operationally meaningless and strategically ineffective in limiting Hezbollahcapabilities. 1902 CARACAS
Thanksgiving Day has long been a time when Americans pause to remember the Pilgrims, their partnership with the Native Americans, and the bountiful harvest they celebrated together. At its core, however, Thanksgiving was established as a national day dedicated to giving thanks to God. Yet for many, this central truth has faded. Gratitude has become more connected to traditions, food, or circumstances than to the God who provides all things. In today's devotional and prayer, we see how Scripture calls us back to the heart of true thanksgiving — acknowledging God as the giver of every good gift and intentionally remembering His faithfulness. The Pilgrims modeled this well: despite difficulty, loss, and uncertainty, they paused to thank God. Their gratitude was rooted not in abundance but in trust. Similarly, we are called to thank God in every circumstance — whether life feels full or fragile. Gratitude lifts our eyes beyond our current challenges and helps us see God’s unchanging character. We thank Him by remembering His past faithfulness, by praising Him with our words and lives, and by offering sacrificial thanksgiving even when life hurts. Thanksgiving Day is a beautiful time to practice these rhythms, but they are meant to shape our entire lives. Gratitude keeps our hearts anchored in God’s goodness and reminds us that every provision — physical, emotional, and spiritual — comes from His generous hand. Bible Reading:“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Takeaway Truths Thanksgiving is first and foremost an act of worship directed to God. Gratitude grows as we remember God's past faithfulness and daily provision. Praise is a powerful expression of thankfulness and shapes our hearts toward God. Sacrificial thanksgiving — praising God in hardship — deeply honors Him. True thanksgiving is not tied to comfort but to trust in God’s goodness. Let’s Pray Dear Father, On this Thanksgiving Day, we thank You first and foremost for Your goodness, Your faithfulness, and the gift of Salvation. We remember all that You have done for us through Jesus Christ — His coming into the world and His sacrifice on the cross so that we may live. Help us to praise Your name in every circumstance — with our words, our songs, our actions, and our service toward others. May our gratitude be rooted not in earthly comfort but in Your unchanging love and provision. We offer You a sacrifice of praise, choosing thanksgiving even in loss, disappointment, or uncertainty. You alone are worthy of all honor and praise. Thank You for Your bountiful provisions and for sustaining us each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
