Irish singer-songwriter Mark Geary left Ireland with a one-way ticket to New York and a heart full of hope over twenty years ago. There, in Sin-é cafe, Mark honed his craft and sang alongside the best of them, including the late Jeff Buckley. Time Out NY said, “His delicate songs about love and defiance recall Richard Thompson and John Lennon.” Geary has featured on bills with musicians as diverse as Glen Hansard, John Prine, Joe Strummer, Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, Coldplay and The Frames amongst others, plus extensive headlining tours in Europe, the US and Switzerland. He has composed the full score for three films - Loggerheads (2005), Steel City (2006) and Sons of Perdition (2010) - and has had many songs featured in films and TV programmes. In 2022, he completed a sell-out month-long residency in the new Little Whelan's in Dublin where, with his band, he welcomed special guests each week and personally curated the shows. 2023 saw Geary tour the north and central regions of Italy as well as Ireland, selling out Whelan's (upstairs), Couglan's, Phil Grimes (Co. Waterford) and Castle St. (Co. Mayo). His latest album, In The Time Of Locusts, was released in February 2024, and was recorded in his cottage in the forest with the help of Ruth O' Mahony Brady, Glen Hansard, Dave Hingerty, Dave and Karl Odlum. Following his acclaimed 2024 album, In The Time of Locusts (4 stars, The Irish Times), Antebellum is an intimate six-track EP bound with tender acoustic instrumentation and the familiar warmth of Geary's sincere vocals and reflective lyricism. Recalling, vulnerability and enduring hope, the EP reflects Geary's creative response to one of Ireland's stormiest New Year's on record. He says, “I stared out to a January of rain and cold and thought, ‘I need to get back to my desk'. If I stayed watching the news, or in a cycle of streaming shows, I'd crumble. I threw out my telly and set up a writing room by my bed. Tuned all my guitars and would jump out of bed and sing. These songs are what came of it: Fear, regret, love, romance, terror, and the weather forecast.” Navigating moments of reposeful contemplation to passages of trepidation, Geary reflects on the human condition within a more concentrated run time, where each track emerges as a resonant meditation on fear, love, regret, and hope. With six studio albums, three live albums and what will be his second ever EP release with Antebellum, writing, touring and live performance remain Geary' s lifeblood. Treating Antebellum with trademark Geary honesty, his lyrics slice right through to the core, revealing a life laid bare of human emotional frailty, failed relationships, tenderness, hurt, making amends, desire and parting. His treasured guitar collection is always close at hand, each set up in a different tuning and ready to capture any emotion.
Natasha helps Helen pack clothes ahead of moving to 5 The Green. Henry's become very organised, labelling all his boxes, whilst Jack is less helpful. They talk about the dairy and Helen's excitement over expanding her herd. Natasha confesses she's almost jealous of Helen's enthusiasm. Driving to Shropshire, Tom points out the irony of using the money from selling retired Tony's Anguses to buy Montey's from another retired farmer. Helen points out how they're saving money by not having to bring them over from France. They then admire the cows in the field and Helen tries to persuade Tom to buy the full herd of ten. Tom points out their mobile dairy would struggle to handle the extra cows and Helen reluctantly agrees to only buy the six they came for. Later, while chatting over a cup of tea, enthusiastic Natasha confesses she has a new business idea for Bridge Farm, to branch out into Botanicals and organic skincare. It could finance sending the twins to private school. Helen tells her to go for it, if that's what they want to do. When Rex catches Alice at The Stables, they agree neither wants to break up. Rex then apologises for what he said to Brian. Alice doesn't know the specifics, so Rex tells her everything. Recalling their fight on Sunday, Alice says she's inherited the Aldridge habit of lashing out. Rex admits to his own flaws and they agree to put it behind them, before Rex reveals his dad texted him, asking to meet Alice. Would she be up for that?

This episode of Talking Real Money examines why financial advice so often turns into emotional debate instead of productive problem-solving. Don and Tom discuss how investors routinely underestimate spending, cling emotionally to employer stock, and defend strategies like dividend chasing, covered calls, crypto, or gold despite decades of evidence favoring diversified investing. They answer a listener question about aggressively paying down a 6.625% adjustable-rate mortgage versus maintaining liquidity, warn about commissioned advisors circling employees receiving RSU payouts, and correct a previous mistake regarding Roth employer matches under Secure 2.0 legislation. Along the way, the hosts mix humor, blunt honesty, and personal stories about why changing financial behavior is far harder than simply explaining the math.0:05 Are listeners looking for advice, validation, or just an argument?0:58 “Two old white guys waiting to die on a podcast” and why changing investor behavior is so difficult1:24 Basis points complaints and arguing over financial terminology2:21 Why financial planning conversations often become debates3:16 Most people underestimate how much they actually spend4:04 Net income minus savings equals spending, whether you admit it or not4:59 Growing up arguing in big families and learning debate skills early5:53 Emotional attachment to employer stock and concentration risk6:19 Microsoft, Enron, Washington Mutual, and the danger of loyalty investing7:02 Why many individual stocks underperform for long stretches7:42 Covered calls, dividend strategies, and belief in “secret” investing systems8:16 Why Don and Tom remain skeptical of crypto, gold, and speculative investing9:16 Their investing philosophy comes from peer-reviewed academic research, not hunches10:17 If you call for portfolio help, don't expect automatic validation11:23 Listener Jim asks whether to aggressively pay down his adjustable-rate mortgage12:17 Extra principal payments versus saving cash to pay off the mortgage later13:12 Why a 6.625% mortgage changes the payoff math14:35 Liquidity concerns versus the emotional appeal of being debt-free15:06 Mortgage recasting explained and reducing future interest costs17:39 Regret over not refinancing during ultra-low-rate years18:10 Why peace of mind sometimes outweighs financial optimization18:50 “Paper argues badly” and the transition into listener emails18:59 RSU sharks circling a listener with a large restricted stock payout19:48 Wealth managers aggressively targeting employees cashing out company stock20:47 Warning signs of commissioned annuity sales disguised as “help”21:48 Why concentrated company stock remains risky even after huge gains22:24 Recalling the advisor who openly admitted to a 10% annuity commission22:41 Retirement quiz follow-up and correcting a Roth 401(k) mistake23:01 Secure 2.0 technically allows Roth employer matches in 401(k)s24:09 Why most employers still don't offer Roth matching contributions24:36 Tax uncertainty and the value of maintaining both Roth and pre-tax accounts25:33 Tom admits he occasionally tells players when he missed a call as a referee26:05 Encouraging listeners to argue, ask questions, and engage with the show27:02 Offering free portfolio consultations without annuity sales pressure27:39 Joking about becoming annuity salesmen after all these yearsQuestions?

IT'S OFFICIAL: The Crystal Microphone is heading to Sofia for the first time in history!
Surprise! I used to be in a quartet. Oh I did! Listen, don't laugh out loud. Yes, when I was in college, for a little while I sang in a gospel quartet. I did not sing any solos. No, no solos for me. Now, musically, I'm okay in a group. Solo - not so much. You know, in a way, we're all like that. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I'm going to have A Word With You today about "The Antidote For Loneliness." Now, our word for today from the Word of God takes us back to the book of Genesis, to the very beginning to Adam; a fellow with a great home - the Garden of Eden. Couldn't beat that! A great job - he's got all the benefits you could possibly have. He's got closeness to God. But in Genesis 2:18, "The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.'" Then the account goes on to talk about the creation of Eve for Adam from Adam's own rib. It's interesting that God looks at a man who seems to have an ideal environment and everything going for him and says, "It is not good for you to be alone." See, we're built from our very creation, to live in partnership with someone we love - no solos. Now, being married doesn't necessarily mean you're not alone. Some people think the worst loneliness of all is being married to the wrong person. Maybe you haven't been protecting your time with the person you're married to, and so, tragically, you are married but both of you feel alone because everything else has crowded each other out. You've got to get back together again. I said being married doesn't mean you're not alone, but being single doesn't mean you are alone. Paul, for example, was very single, very busy, never married. And yet he had a network of people who supported him his whole life. His letters are filled with references to those many people who were ministry partners, people who helped him, encouraged him, lifted him up. He told us that the mother of Rufus was "someone who has been a mother to me too" in Romans 16. He said Timothy was his son in the gospel. He said to Timothy, "Recalling your tears, I long to go see you so that I may be filled with joy." And then he had a friend, Onesiphorus, who according to 2 Timothy 1, refreshed him. And to the believers in Rome, he said, "By God's will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed." Paul was a tower of spiritual strength and emotional strength. If any Christian could have gone it alone - could have been a soloist - he was the man. And yet he nurtured and needed peer partnership. He had spiritual brothers, and mothers, and friends, and refreshers; a network of people. Now, you can't expect if you're single for any one best friend to be like a marriage partner to you and meet all those emotional needs. And you'll smother a person if you try to get one person to be that. But you can build, like Paul did, a network of caring people and you're part of God's network for them. It's a two-way street. You need to invest in those friendships; take time with them; build yourself a rich life while you're single. You've got to be a good one before you can be a good two anyway. Don't just sit there and wait for Prince Charming or Cinderella to come along. Build life partnerships now. Guard quality time with them as a married couple must do. Being single doesn't mean being alone if you'll invest in those life partnerships and not just sit there saying, "Oh, when am I going to be married?" Take encouragement from this, that the God who made you need people - will give you the people you need.

Welcome to Manufacturing Greatness with Trevor Blondeel, where we work with organizations to manufacture greatness by leveraging resources you already have to achieve greater retention, productivity, and profits. To learn more, visit www.manufacturinggreatness.com and click here to subscribe to Trevor's monthly newsletter. Now, let's jump in! What if the biggest threat to your production efficiency, workforce development, and manufacturing productivity was not a supply chain disruption or a failed kaizen event — but the voice inside your own head? On this episode of Manufacturing Greatness, learn more with Dr. Jenn Donahue, a retired U.S. Navy Captain with 27 years of military service, combat veteran, civil engineer, and one of only 3% of Navy officers to ever reach her rank. She holds a doctorate from UC Berkeley, has been inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and is the author of Becoming the Warrior. Jenn brings her hard-won leadership experience to the shop floor, connecting the mental battles fought in combat zones directly to the self-doubt that holds back frontline supervisors, shift supervisors, and plant leadership teams every day. We cover practical tools for performance management, communication skills, and leadership development — including why the voice in your head might be the real reason your toughest conversations keep getting pushed to tomorrow. If you're serious about change management, talent retention, and building a stronger safety culture and operations management system, this episode is your starting point. 1:00 — Promoting top performers into leadership roles often creates a confidence problem, not a skills problem. 01:30 — Self-doubt shows up even in the most high-pressure environments, and recognizing it is the first step toward stronger leadership development. 03:00 — Several competing internal voices influence decision making every day, and building self-awareness around them is critical for frontline supervisors and plant leadership teams. 04:30 — The Mean Little Voice quietly erodes confidence by convincing leaders they are not worthy of their position, undermining performance management and talent retention. 05:00 — The Sneaky Little Bastard redirects leaders away from difficult conversations and hard decisions, creating real gaps in accountability, communication skills, and production efficiency. 08:30 — Instinct and intuition are distinct forces in leadership decision making, and understanding the difference helps leaders assess whether hesitation is rational or just self-preservation. 10:30 — A simple gut-check question — am I being rational, or am I being selfish — can help manufacturing leaders cut through avoidance and act in the best interest of their operation. 14:30 — The four-step Perceive, Assess, Ready, Act framework gives leaders a practical tool for working through self-doubt and taking confident action under pressure. 22:00 — Humility and imposter syndrome are not the same thing, and confusing the two causes leaders to discount the experience and results they have already earned. 29:00 — Recalling past wins, people developed, and problems solved is one of the most powerful ways to build the positive bias that drives confident leadership on the shop floor.

There are moments in life that split time into before and after, and this is one of them.In today's episode, Tom and I are recalling the Nebraska Ashby and Minor Fires. What stands out most during this time? The PEOPLE. Strangers were protecting each other and showing up simply because someone needed help. It's humbling in a way that's hard to explain, until you go through it!But experiences like this don't end when the fire is out. They stay with you and need to be processed (slowly and honestly). If there's anything I'm holding onto right now, it's the reminder that we are NOT meant to carry this alone!In this episode, we cover:The Ashby and Minor fires + their start just hours after we thought the worst had passedWhy survival mode takes over when in crisisWhy evacuating with kids, animals & uncertainty is never something you're fully prepared forWhy fighting the fire vs. supporting from afar both carry weight in different waysHow time completely blurs during traumaThe power of community showing up in incredible waysHow strangers stepped in to protect homes, land, and livesWhy the impact doesn't simply “end” when the fire is outWhy PTSD & nervous system responses are real (for adults and kids)Getting support because you don't have to carry something like this aloneMake sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://terryndrieling.com/recalling-the-nebraska-firesConnect with Terryn:Follow on Instagram @terryn.drielingCheck out my websiteSend me an email at terryn@terryndrieling.comResources & Links:Mental Health After WildfireRural Mental Health ResourcesSchedule a free consult and see if 1:1 Good Movement Guidance is right for youCheck out my merch shopJoin the waitlist for the Good Movement CollectiveGood Movement music by: Aaron EspePodcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting
Vote here to help The Intercept Briefing win its first Webby Award for best news and politics podcast.Show description: As talks to end the U.S.–Israel war on Iran break down and President Donald Trump demands a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, journalist Amy Goodman says that in times of war and conflicts, “What I care about is the answer, and I care that people in this country don't get health care at the same time that money goes to kill others in another country.”This week on The Intercept Briefing, Goodman speaks to host Akela Lacy about a new documentary called “Steal This Story, Please!” The documentary follows Goodman's life, journalism career, and the building of the independent news program “Democracy Now!” which just celebrated its 30th year. Recalling times when networks used their video footage, says Goodman, “I encourage that. Steal this story, please. It's a failure if it's an exclusive. We are covering these critical issues of the day, and we want to ensure that these stories get out because independent media is essential to the functioning of a democratic society.”Many journalists and news outlets don't ask tough questions to maintain what she calls the “access of evil — trading truth for access,” and to that, Goodman says, “Then it's not worth being there at all. It's our job to hold those in power to account.” She adds, “We can't have weapons manufacturers, who provide millions to networks to advertise determining our coverage of war. We can't have oil, gas, and coal companies determining our coverage of climate change, or banks and other financial institutions determining how we cover inequality. We need an independent media.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Keep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

In this episode, we delve into the foundational pillars of witness testimony, unraveling the complexities of competency, memory, and the art of impeachment. Designed to equip law students and future lawyers, this session clarifies how the evidence rules operate as a precise, mechanical system to test and ensure reliability under pressure.Main Topics:Criterion for Witness Competency: The modern presumption that everyone with a pulse can testify and how judges scrutinize functional capacities.Memory Refreshing and Recorded Recollections: The distinctions between Rule 612's present recollection refreshed and Rule 803's past recollection recorded.Impeachment Strategies: The comprehensive toolkit — Bias, Inconsistent Statements, Contradictions, Capacity, and Character (BICCC) — and the circular rules governing character evidence, prior bad acts, and prior convictions.Legal Traps and Tips: Navigating hearsay exceptions, the purpose of voir dire on witness competence, and the strategic use of extrinsic evidence.Key Insights:Everyone is presumed competent; the judge applies a simple four-part functional test.Recalling information is different from using documents to revive memories; admissibility hinges on procedural nuances.Impeachment is not about the facts but about impugning a witness's reliability, with rules designed to balance fairness and efficiency.The rules prevent the jury from being overwhelmed by past bad behavior while ensuring only relevant, probative evidence is admitted.The legal system is a mechanical labyrinth, with precise gates that determine what evidence is permitted and when, emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying principles.Most witnesses in court are presumed competent — until they're not. But how do the rules of evidence meticulously sift truth from bias, memory failures, or outright lies? If you're preparing for the bar or diving into litigation strategy, understanding this delicate process can make or break your case.In this episode, we demystify the complex architecture that underpins witness testimony: from the threshold of competency under Federal Rule 601 to sophisticated memory refresh techniques like present recollection refreshed versus past recollection recorded. You'll discover how judges act as gatekeepers, using strict functional tests to decide who can even take the stand, regardless of their moral character or credibility.We dive deep into the battlefield of impeachment, revealing the powerful toolkit that turns unreliable witnesses into targets. Learn how bias, inconsistent statements, capacity issues, or character for untruthfulness are systematically exposed—often relying on extrinsic evidence—thanks to rules like 608 and 609. You'll also grasp the crucial distinctions between hearsay exceptions and inadmissible evidence, understanding EXACTLY which documents can be read aloud, which can be introduced as exhibits, and why some pieces stay out of the jury room to preserve fairness.Most dramatically, we expose classic traps: what happens when a witness's memory fails, or when a criminal conviction is “read into” evidence? You'll learn how the rules protect against prejudice even when the stakes are high—when an old felony or a prior bad act could be a game changer, or a simple charge without a final conviction might be inadmissible altogether.This episode transforms the chaos of courtroom evidence into a precise science—whether you're scrutinizing a bolt of bias or defending a nervous witness. Perfect for law students, bar exam takers, or any attorney sharpening their trial craft. Get the tools, frame the strategies, and see how every rule is designed to cut through the fog and reveal the truth.As technology advances, the legal landscape faces even bigger questions—what if witnesses outsource memory to AI? But until then, mastering these foundational rules is your surest path to victory—because in the courtroom, the story you tell depends on the evidence y

The topic for this episode came up quite by accident. We were talking about memory and if we experienced memories (especially of our childhood) similarly. Chandra was sharing how she felt like there were significant gaps in her memory. Although there are events that she knows actually happened she has no recollection of what transpired during the event. What did the room look like? Who else was present in the room at the time? Etcetera, Etcetera… And what about those situations where you meet a perfect stranger that you feel like you already know. But no matter how much the two of you rack your brains and compare histories you can't figure out from where or when this familiarity comes. This led us to the question….. Does our memory accurately document our experience? Or is it as fallible a recording device as magnetic tape or corrupt digital file? Those are the questions we ponder and muse in this week's episode. It is now possible to book 1:1 mediumship, energy healing, QHHT, or numerology sessions with your favorite Ohm-g Podcast Host.

What are the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves and each other and our place in the living web of life—and how do we shape them in service to Life? This is the central question that animates Accidental Gods: the idea that we are a storied species, that humanity lives and breathes and loves and learns by the rich tapestry of stories that shape our lives. Everything we do from picking a career to moving house, from finding our life's co-creator(s) to choosing what to have for lunch is underpinned by stories of who we are and how the world works. Often, we take these stories so much for granted that we don't even recognise they are stories - we genuinely believe the world works like this.But then once in a while, someone comes along with such great heart and deep, compassionate fluency in the many layers of our myths that they can weave magic wild enough to turn the bus that is humanity from the edge of the cliff - or at the very least, they can help us imagine what it is to be something entirely other, with no bus and no cliff. This week's guest, Sam Crosby, is one such myth-weaver. Sam is founder of Recalling Fire, the oral storytelling practice bringing ancient courage to modern leadership challenges. Guided by the work of Dr Martin Shaw at the School of Myth, fellow of the Bio-Leadership Project, mentor for A Band of Brothers and Alumnus of the Dartington College of Arts, he works with individuals and organisations all around the world, helping us to weave, re-weave the stories of our lives. Of this process, he says, '…after sharing reverential space and stories with hundreds of people as an oral storyteller and hundreds of thousands more as a consultant for culture, I believe stories and careful word choice have what it takes to guide us further down.'This conversation was rich and deeply layered. We explored Arthurian Legend (fwiw, I think A Sword at Sunset by Rosemary Sutcliff remains the best Arthurian book, though Mary Stewart's Crystal Cave trilogy was my introduction to the whole genre and while I could never bring myself to read the third book, the first two were stellar), through a story of choice and agency, through the nature of grief and gratitude, love, loss and death as a Rite of Passage to the nature of story in modern politics: everything was here in a truly generative long-hour's conversation.

In this episode of The Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, Martin, James, and Alan look past the dramatic penalty shootout win at Ibrox to preview a crucial SPFL clash against a vastly improved Motherwell side. The lads dissect Motherwell's structured, possession-based transformation and question whether a depleted Celtic squad has the tactical coherence to outplay them without Callum McGregor. Alan drops a controversial bombshell, arguing that Celtic should immediately recall Johnny Kenny and Luis Palma from their loans, using data to prove they are more effective than the club's current struggling wingers and strikers. Finally, the panel tears into the "sinister" Scottish media and VAR officials over the bizarre, unexplained disallowed Maeda goal at Ibrox and the BBC's refusal to show the footage.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

Recalling the first day of the war with Iran is still traumatic for journalist and activist Anat Saragusti, whose apartment building in central Tel Aviv began to shake as she ran to seek shelter from Iranian missiles targeting the city following the U.S.-Israel attack that morning. "I didn't believe my eyes," she says of what awaited her when she returned. "The whole living room was covered with broken glass - the carpets, the sofa, the chairs - all over. It was really so scary." Matching the shattering of the glass in her home, said Saragusti, who monitors press freedom at the Union of Journalists in Israel, is the ongoing shattering of her trust in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government as the war continues, and her dissatisfaction with what she views as an overly-compliant media. Most Israelis, Saragusti said on the Haaretz Podcast, are "glued to television screens" where retired IDF generals spout military facts and statistics. "There is no room for alternative voices, questions or doubts" regarding the war and "what the end game will be." "They promised us in the last war in Iran in June that we destroyed the majority of the infrastructure for the ballistic missiles and the nuclear plan of Iran. Then in nine months, [Iran rebuilt] everything from scratch? I don't understand that. I feel that they are lying to us."

If you've ever wondered where your wheat flour is coming from, who is milling it (and how), or how it came to be such an important staple, then this episode might be for you. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless speaks with host Scott Catey about People of the Wheat: Culture and Cultivation in North Texas (U Texas Press, 2026). This book examines the history of wheat in the six counties of the North Texas wheat belt, and how wheat growing, milling, and baking shaped the people and culture there. In the national imaginary, America's amber fields of grain lie in the country's center, but for more than a century, they also grew across one pocket of the South: North Texas. From the 1840s to the 1970s, the state's agriculture, dominated in lore by cotton in the east and livestock in the open range, was heavily invested in the cultivation, processing, sale, and consumption of wheat. Recalling a forgotten history, Rebecca Sharpless shows how the rhythms of the wheat harvest—and the evolution of the milling, distribution, and baking industries—governed daily life in what is now known as the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. In the 1840s, Anglo settlers discovered that grain flourished in North Texas and quickly built an economy that included wheat in fields, mills, and kitchens. After the Civil War, hand labor gave way to mechanization, greatly increasing production. Commercial bakeries churned out novel confections, and big cities were built on the bounty of the countryside. In the second half of the twentieth century, as production moved northward, industrial milling and baking declined, but home baking boomed, flour advertising supported regional music, and wheat fortunes financed the region's cultural life. Sharpless covers 150 years of wheat's very human history and shows how the labor that cultivated it, the sustenance it provided, and the prosperity it generated left an indelible mark on the people and institutions of Texas. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless is a Professor of History at Texas Christian University. She specializes in Gender & Sexuality, Texas History, and American History. She is the author of three previous books: Grain and Fire: A History of Baking in the American South (2022); Cooking in Other Women's Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South, 1865-1960 (2010); and Fertile Ground, Narrow Choices: Women on Texas Cotton Farms, 1900-1940 (1999).

As an old world order cracks, these fissures demand that we each re-align our values and find clarity within the chaos. Delving into the images and words contained within Sebastiáo Salgado's opus, I was reminded of a landmark book in my life, The Giver, by Lois Lowry. I will briefly summarize its narrative to explain why it has become important to mention it. The Salgado volume I share today has a propitious title: Uncertain Grace, and combined with the words of Eduardo Galeano, who wrote the preface, and Fred Ritchin, who penned the conclusion, I hope to highlight the importance of memory, of our shared past and common humanity, as valuable tools to withstand the uncertainty and fear we encounter at this historical crossroads.

Pastor Brent Snook preaches a special sermon on this Gospel Sunday.In Titus 3:1–8, Paul urges believers to remember who they are in Christ. Just as God established memorials in the Old Testament so His people would not forget, Christians must remember both their calling and their past. We are called to stand firm in difficult assignments, speak with gentleness, submit to authority, and reflect Christ in our conduct. Recalling who we once were—foolish, deceived, and lost—keeps us humble. Remembering what we now are—saved and transformed by God's mercy—fuels gratitude and grace. When we truly remember who we were and who we are, our lives become living testimonies of His redeeming power.

Nicole Melillo Shaw, Managing Director of Volvo UK, joins Big Boss Interview at a pivotal moment for the electric vehicle market, as the company recalls 10,500 EX30 electric cars following four battery fires globally.“It's against everything we stand for,” she says, reflecting on a situation that challenges a brand built on nearly a century of safety leadership. Despite a global failure rate of just 0.02% and no fatalities, Volvo identified the root cause in late December and immediately instructed owners not to charge beyond 70% while a fix is implemented. Repairs are scheduled to begin in late March. For Volvo, the response reflects what she describes as a precautionary, safety-first culture, even when the commercial implications are uncomfortable.Melillo Shaw examines what the recall means for consumer confidence in electric vehicles — a technology already under heightened scrutiny — even though petrol vehicles statistically present a greater inherent fire risk due to flammable fuel systems.The recall comes as electric vehicle adoption remains slower than manufacturers once anticipated, despite annual growth exceeding 20%. Volvo's UK electric sales peaked at 28% following the EX30 launch but have since stabilised at just over 22 per cent as more than 160 additional models enter the market and buyers opt for “one more petrol” or hybrid before fully switching.Range anxiety, she argues, is no longer the central issue, but infrastructure concerns persist. Confusing government messaging — pairing incentives with discussions of pay-per-mile charges and benefit-in-kind changes — continues to add to consumer hesitation.Global instability adds further complexity. Volvo has been regionalising production, partly in response to tariff pressures, building vehicles closer to the markets in which they are sold. That turbulence elevates the UK's importance as Volvo's third-largest market, where a direct-to-consumer model has delivered 40% growth and lifted market share from 2.5% to 3.5%.Government Zero Emission Vehicle mandates now require manufacturers to meet steep electrification quotas or face fines of £12,000 per non-compliant vehicle from November. Volvo discontinued diesel models in the UK in 2023 and says it could sell 100% electric vehicles tomorrow if demand existed. However, meeting regulatory targets while absorbing development costs and discounting pressures presents a commercial balancing act.Finally, Melillo Shaw reflects on her own trajectory — from Scunthorpe through healthcare brands to automotive leadership. Volvo deliberately recruited her because she had never bought a car, valuing the perspective of someone who understood the anxiety of a major purchase. She argues the industry must broaden access and challenge assumptions about who belongs in automotive careers, creating clearer pathways for talent from working-class communities.

[2] 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave. 5 If they do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 They set out and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere. Recalling the Death of John the Baptist 7 Herod the tetrarch heard about everything that was happening, and he was quite puzzled because some said that John had risen from the dead. 8 Others said that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the ancient prophets had risen. 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this, about whom I hear such great things?” So he wanted to see him. Jesus Feeds More Than Five Thousand 10 The apostles returned and told Jesus what they had done. He took them and withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida. 11 But when the crowds found out, they followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. He also healed those who needed healing. 12 As the day began to draw to a close, the Twelve came and said to him, “Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms to find lodging and food, because we are in a deserted place here.” 13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have no more than five loaves and two fish,” they replied, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.” 14 (There were about five thousand men.) He said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 They did so and got them all to sit down. 16 Then Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish, and, looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them. Then he kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 They all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve basketfuls of the broken pieces that were left over.

Whether free and fair elections can be saved with the SAVE Act is the first topic of debate this week, along with a celebration of the Trump Administration rolling back the EPA's power to make our energy scarce and expensive. Steve describes this bold step as the "Inchon Landing" in the war against the administrative state. Forget Nixon-to-China cliches: only Trump could take such a bold step that no other conventional Republican would dare take. We also spend a good deal of time recalling the passing, ten years ago now, of Justice Antonin Scalia, whose shadow over contemporary jurisprudence continues to lengthen. We think Scalia is displacing Holmes as the most significant jurist of the last century for his enduring influence and for his central role in reviving constituitional originalism, even though he once described himself as a "faint-hearted originalist." There's a paradox at work in Scalia's jurisprudential legacy that requires someone like G.K. Chesterton to understand—and that, kids, ought to be a strong hint as to exactly what it is.

The highly anticipated winner-take-all Week 18 between the 49ers and Seahawks didn't quite live up to the hype.

On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how the Seahawks thoroughly outplayed the 49ers from their potent rushing attack to their unrelenting pressure on the defensive line.
