He and Liz Ann and Kathy cover the provisions within the agreement to reopen the government, including the potential extension of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. They also discuss the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and how the government might take a while to get caught up on data releases involving employment and inflation information. Kathy and Liz Ann routinely answer questions about the effects of government debt and deficits, and they ask Mike Townsend for his thoughts on how and when that issue might be resolved. Finally, they address upcoming changes to the tax code and the political fallout of the shutdown.You can keep up with the latest developments out of Washington—and learn how they might affect investors—by following Mike Townsend on X and LinkedIn.

Glenn Wiggle, Mike Hoeflich, and Mike Sperrazza dive into the real fallout of Washington's latest government shutdown—and the hypocrisy behind politicians still cashing paychecks while everyday Americans go without. From bloated regulations driving up healthcare costs to the failures of Obamacare, the hosts call out both parties for their inaction and lack of leadership. They break down how excessive government control has crippled competition, inflated costs, and hurt working Americans, arguing for a return to smaller government, personal responsibility, and common sense. Plus, a no-holds-barred discussion on welfare reform, accountability in Congress, and why the GOP must finally deliver.(00:02:15) Impact of Government Shutdown on Individuals and Politicians(00:11:58) Impact of Regulations on Healthcare Accessibility and Costs(00:14:22) Healthcare Overhaul: Promoting Competition and Efficiency(00:24:28) Effective Legislators: Leading for Progress(00:26:37) Republican Party's Lack of Initiative and Action(00:30:24) Republican Party's Urgency for Accountability and Prosecution(00:34:29) State-Level Enforcement of Welfare to Work

In this episode of Cracking the Code, Charles County officials discuss the permits and regulations required for operating animal-related businesses. Katy Rosche from Animal Control and Kelly Palmer from Planning and Growth Management explain the process for obtaining commercial kennel licenses for breeding, boarding, grooming, or training animals. The key message: contact the county BEFORE starting your business. Planning and Growth Management checks zoning requirements—including minimum property sizes of two acres for indoor operations and five acres for outdoor facilities—while Animal Control ensures animal welfare and public safety through inspections. Both departments must approve licenses, which has become increasingly important as more residents pursue animal businesses as side income. The officials emphasize that regulations exist to protect animals, owners, and neighbors alike. They encourage residents to reach out proactively to Planning and Growth Management at (301) 645-0692/ https://www.charlescountymd.gov/government/planning-and-growth-management or Animal Control at (301) 609-3425/ https://www.charlescountymd.gov/services/animal-care-control  for guidance before making any commitments.Thanks for listening.

US-EU Space Regulatory Clash: The United States has formally opposed the European Union's proposed EU Space Act, arguing that its regulations could impose unfair burdens on American space companies. The act aims to establish a unified regulatory framework for Europe's space industry, focusing on safety, resilience, and sustainability. The US claims that certain provisions unfairly target large telecommunications satellite constellations, particularly SpaceX's Starlink, and calls for recognition of its existing licensing framework to avoid duplication.Revisiting a Mars Mistake: A significant scientific error from the 1970s is being re-evaluated as new findings reveal that NASA's Viking Lander mission mistakenly concluded Mars was lifeless. Originally, the absence of detected organic compounds led to this verdict, but it has now been established that organic compounds were indeed present. This has sparked calls for a new mission dedicated to the search for life on Mars, correcting decades of misconceptions.Launch Schedule Update: This week's launch schedule includes high-profile missions such as Blue Origin's new Glenn rocket, which is set to launch the Mars-bound Escapade payload on November 12. However, an ongoing US government shutdown has led to an emergency launch ban during peak hours, affecting several missions and pushing some to later dates.Tiangong Space Station's Dual Crew: China's Tiangong Space Station is currently hosting an unprecedented dual crew operation after the return of the Shenzhou 20 astronauts was delayed due to a suspected space debris impact. The Shenzhou 20 crew has been joined by the new Shenzhou 21 crew, creating a temporary six-member occupancy onboard as both crews conduct joint scientific experiments.New Insights into the Big Bang: A recent study suggests that the universe's earliest moments were more dynamic than previously understood. Researchers propose that during a brief period, dense clouds of particles dominated over radiation, leading to the formation of primordial black holes. This discovery may provide new insights into the dark history of the universe and its structure.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

In this week's Bible study, we go through Leviticus chapters 21 & 22. We are still in the ‘Holiness Code' this week looking at regulations for the priests themselves on how to remain holy. Included we look at how a priest might become defiled by death (the mourning process for the dead), as well as the sacred offerings. We will also talk about the restrictions and regulations on the priests and the animals that were to be offered to the Lord. Lots to talk about as we dig deep into the Old Testament.Outline: 00:09 - The Holiness Code - rules and regulations that are intended to set Israel apart. Lev 18.3-6, “you must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. You must obey my laws and be careful to folow my decrees. I am the Lord your God.”Lev 19.1-2, “The Lord said to Moses, speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God am holy.”BE SET APART.03:00 - Leviticus 22.1-3 - What are The Sacred Offerings?Leviticus 1-7 outlines the major offerings the Israelites could bring before the Lord in the Tabernacle. Included in each is provision for the priest and his family. The Burnt offering, Lev 7.8 - the priest may keep the hide. The Grain offering, Lev 2.3, 10; 6.16, 18; 7.9-10 - after a portion is burned as a “most holy” offering to the Lord, the rest is kept for the priest and his family. The Fellowship (or peace) offering, Lev 7.31-34 - a portion belongs to the Lord, then the breast and right thigh belong to the priest - the rest belongs to the offerer to eat in fellowship with their family. The Sin (or purification) offering, Lev 5.13, 6:26, 29 & 7.7 - a portion for the priest to be eaten. The Guilt (or restitution) offering, Lev 7.6-7 - same rules as the sin offering.07:38 - Leviticus 21.1-6 - Priests must avoid becoming ceremonially unclean for the dead.13:08 - Application of Lev 21.1-6 for us today. Do not let yourselves become defiled. Bible verses mentioned: 1 Pet 2.9-10; Gal 5.19-2; Mat 28.19-20 and Mat 7.5.19:04 - Physical Standards of the priests. Leviticus 21.7-9 - No wives defiled by prostitution or by divorce. Leviticus 21.10-15 - specifically has standards for the High Priest.23:08 - Leviticus 21.16-24 no one with physical handicaps can “offer the food of his God.” - v6 as well - the food offerings to the Lord.25:53 - Leviticus 22.1-8 - Clean and unclean27:52 - Leviticus 22.9 - Respect the offering. This reminds us of Nadab and Abihu of Lev 10 and their using “unauthorized fire.”29:18 - Leviticus 22.10-16 - Restricted distributions. No one outside the priest's family may eat the sacred offerings30:49 - Leviticus 22.17-33 - Unacceptable Sacrifices. Animals used for the offerings must be unblemished - without defect - similar to the disqualifications for descendants of Aaron who can not be priests - blind, lame, deformed, or with bad testicles.Exodus 12.5 - The passover lamb must be WITHOUT defect. Jesus was the complete fulfilment of the Law - I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Jesus is our passover lamb. Biblical references: 1 Peter 1.18-19; John 1.29; Matthew 5.17-20; Ephesians 2.8-940:39 - Closing Questions: 1. Do you let yourself become defiled by sin? 2. Does your outward appearance earn you favor with God? 3. Can you make God love you any more? Can you make God love you less?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- Congressman Dan Meuser—Representative for Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to President Donald Trump's big endorsement on Truth Social. Trump wrote: “Congressman Dan Meuser is an America First Patriot who is doing an incredible job representing Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District!

This Day in Legal History: Massachusetts Institutes Death Penalty for HeresyOn November 4, 1646, the Massachusetts General Court enacted a law that imposed the death penalty for heresy, marking one of the most extreme expressions of religious intolerance in early American colonial history. The law required all members of the colony to affirm the Bible as the true and authoritative Word of God. Failure to do so was not merely frowned upon—it was made a capital offense. This legislation reflected the theocratic underpinnings of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which had been established by Puritans seeking religious freedom for themselves but not necessarily for others.The Puritan leadership equated dissent with disorder, and heresy with treason against divine authority. The law was aimed particularly at groups such as Quakers, Baptists, and others who challenged orthodox Puritan theology. While it is unclear whether anyone was actually executed under this specific statute, it laid the foundation for later persecution, including the execution of Mary Dyer, a Quaker, in 1660. The law exemplifies how early colonial governments wielded both civil and religious authority in tandem.It also foreshadows the centuries-long struggle in American legal and cultural history to define the boundaries between church and state. Though the U.S. Constitution would later enshrine religious freedom in the First Amendment, this 1646 law demonstrates how precarious that freedom was in earlier periods. The harshness of the law also underscores the broader context of 17th-century Europe and its colonies, where religious uniformity was often enforced through state power. Massachusetts would gradually shift away from such punishments, but not without considerable resistance.Sam Bankman-Fried's legal team will argue before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that his conviction for defrauding FTX customers should be overturned. The 33-year-old former crypto executive is currently serving a 25-year sentence after being found guilty in 2023 of stealing $8 billion from FTX users. His lawyers claim the trial judge unfairly excluded key evidence—specifically, information supporting Bankman-Fried's belief that FTX had sufficient assets to cover customer withdrawals. Prosecutors counter that the evidence against him, including internal records and testimony from former associates, was overwhelming.Bankman-Fried was once considered a leading figure in the crypto space, known for his high-profile donations and media presence before his downfall. During the trial, former executives at FTX and Alameda Research testified that he instructed them to misuse customer funds to cover hedge fund losses. He was convicted of two fraud counts and five conspiracy charges. Judge Lewis Kaplan, who sentenced him in March 2024, said Bankman-Fried knowingly acted criminally but underestimated the risk of detection. There are also unconfirmed reports that some in his circle are lobbying Donald Trump for a pardon, though Trump has not commented. Bankman-Fried is currently incarcerated at a low-security facility in California and is expected to be released in 2044.Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyers to argue for new fraud trial for FTX founder | ReutersGetty Images has largely lost its high-profile UK lawsuit against Stability AI, the company behind the image-generating tool Stable Diffusion. Getty had accused Stability AI of copyright infringement, claiming the AI system was trained on millions of its images without permission. However, Getty dropped the core part of the case mid-trial due to insufficient evidence about where and how the AI was trained, leaving that central legal question unresolved. The remaining claims focused on trademark infringement and secondary copyright violations.The High Court ruled that Getty partially succeeded on the trademark issue, noting Stable Diffusion sometimes generated images that included Getty's watermark. But the judge emphasized that this finding was historically narrow and of limited scope. Getty's broader copyright claim was dismissed, with the court finding that Stable Diffusion does not store or directly reproduce copyrighted works. Legal experts called the ruling disappointing for copyright holders and warned it exposed gaps in UK intellectual property protections regarding AI.Both companies claimed aspects of victory: Getty pointed to the trademark ruling and the recognition that AI models can be subject to IP laws, while Stability AI emphasized that the decision effectively cleared the core copyright concerns. Getty warned the decision highlights the difficulty even well-funded companies face in protecting creative works and urged governments to strengthen transparency rules around AI training data. Legal analysts say the ruling leaves a major legal question unresolved—whether training AI on copyrighted content without consent constitutes infringement under UK law.Getty Images largely loses landmark UK lawsuit over AI image generator | ReutersPennsylvania lawmakers are advancing a regulatory and fee-based proposal targeting “skill games”—arcade-style gambling machines—without first resolving the legal and oversight framework surrounding them. Senate Bill 1079, introduced by Senators Gene Yaw and Anthony Williams, proposes a $500 monthly fee per machine, capped at 50,000 terminals, potentially raising $300 million annually. However, I argue that this revenue-driven approach puts fiscal goals ahead of sound regulation. The bill includes some regulatory provisions like machine limits, ID checks, and a centralized monitoring system, but these appear to have been crafted after the fee structure, not as foundational policy.Skill games have operated in a legal gray area since a 2023 court ruling found they don't meet the state's definition of gambling devices. That ambiguity has persisted, leaving the machines largely unregulated but widespread. Instead of clarifying the legal status of these machines and building a regulatory framework first, lawmakers now seem focused on monetizing them quickly—potentially to preempt a stricter tax plan proposed by Governor Shapiro. The bill notably keeps enforcement under the Department of Revenue rather than the more experienced Gaming Control Board, raising questions about effective oversight.This structure may incentivize the rapid deployment of machines to meet revenue goals, risking poor compliance and ineffective safeguards. In sum, I go on to say the proposal uses regulation to justify revenue collection, rather than using revenue to support a robust regulatory system. Without a clear legal definition, licensing process, and proper enforcement authority, the current plan prioritizes money over governance.Pennsylvania Skill Game Fee Regulations Have Questionable Timing This is a public episode.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of transformative events reshaping the landscape of healthcare, from strategic mergers and regulatory shifts to groundbreaking advancements in drug development.Let's begin with a monumental merger that signals a shift towards more integrated healthcare solutions. The $48.7 billion acquisition of Kenvue, a consumer health spinout from Johnson & Johnson, by Kimberly-Clark illustrates the growing convergence between consumer health products and traditional pharmaceuticals. This strategic move highlights a trend towards expanding product portfolios and enhancing distribution networks, aiming to better address comprehensive patient needs. Mergers like these could redefine how healthcare products are marketed and delivered, emphasizing holistic approaches to patient care.Turning to regulatory news, the resignation of Dr. George Tidmarsh from the FDA due to controversial communications has spotlighted the ongoing challenges within regulatory oversight. This incident underscores the delicate balance regulators must maintain in ensuring transparency while safeguarding sensitive information. Such developments are crucial as they directly affect public trust in drug approval processes and the industry's ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes.In scientific advancements, Roche is making significant progress with its drug Gazyva for autoimmune diseases. Following FDA approval for lupus-related kidney disease, promising Phase 3 trial results for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are propelling Roche closer to offering new hope for patients with this chronic condition, which currently has limited effective treatments. This success underscores the potential of targeted therapies in transforming treatment paradigms for autoimmune diseases.Eli Lilly's $3 billion investment in a new manufacturing facility in the Netherlands marks a strategic effort to bolster oral medicine production globally. This expansion not only reinforces Lilly's commitment to meeting global demand but also reflects an industry-wide trend towards investing in scalable manufacturing capabilities. Such moves are critical for ensuring supply chain resilience and addressing rising healthcare needs worldwide.In legal news, Pfizer's fierce competition with Metsera over Novo Nordisk's counteroffer highlights the high stakes involved in securing promising assets within the biotech sector—a sector particularly focused on obesity treatment due to its substantial market growth potential. The outcome of this legal battle could influence future strategic partnerships and acquisitions, demonstrating the intense competition among pharmaceutical giants.Meanwhile, UniQure faces challenges as its gene therapy for Huntington's disease encounters regulatory hurdles with the FDA. Despite initial expectations as a groundbreaking treatment, this setback emphasizes the rigorous scrutiny gene therapies undergo to ensure safety and efficacy. Such hurdles highlight the complexities of advancing novel therapies through regulatory pathways.Policy developments are also reshaping drug pricing structures as evidenced by HRSA's approval of eight drugmakers' plans for a 340B rebate model pilot program. This initiative aims at optimizing pricing structures while balancing cost containment with access to essential medications for underserved populations—a critical concern in today's healthcare landscape.International collaborations continue to play a pivotal role in accelerating drug discovery and development. Neurocrine Biosciences' $880 million deal with China's TransThera Sciences exemplifies such partnerships, focusing on emerging therapeutic areas like immunology. These collaborations are vital in leveraging global expertise and resources to drive innovatSupport the show

The three members of the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission did not attend a public hearing on the draft regulations for the substance in October, but they did consider six categories of recommendations that came from the hearing. The recommendations included allowing additional forms of cannabis, increasing the number of licensed facilities and increasing the plant limits for cultivators.

Will artificial intelligence robots have subjective experience? What are the ethical and safety implications of such entities? Which quantum physics theory can accommodate consciousness?In this episode we have the extraordinary possibility of subjective experience and feelings in artificial intelligence robotic systems to think about. So we look at experiments to try and prove if it's even possible; the quantum building blocks from which both living and artificial systems are made up; the ethical and safety implications of advanced intelligence instantiated in robots, and we get into the controversial search for a quantum physics theory that can accommodate consciousness.Fortunately, my guest today is not only one of the first pioneering scientists to really devote themselves to the creation of sentient human-similar robot minds and bodies, but is also an experimental physicist working with quantum computing systems. She is of course the quantum engineer, consciousness researcher and AI computer scientist Suzanne Gildert. She has written over 80 scientific papers, founded several successful AI companies and has dozens of US patents for her inventions. What we discuss:00:00 Intro.04:25 Her move to AI & robotics from quantum computing.06:45 Something missing from materialism.11:00 The what, how and why of consciousness.12:20 Remembering quantum fields are the base level of reality.15:50 Quantum Biology - John Joe McFadden.18:20 ‘Protecting' quantum coherence environments.20:00 The Penrose-Hameroff microtubules quantum consciousness theory.24:40 The risks of the “two mysteries” argument.30:10 Looking for subjective experience in AI robots.33:55 “Reward function”, purpose led, agential behaviour doesn't emerge naturally in AI.36:25 Limitations to building sentient AI robots.39:25 Iain McGilchrist's left-right hemisphere interpretation of split brain data.41:40 How similar are AI minds to human ones?43:40 Will Ai become conscious one day?44:40 The generalisation problem.47:50 The anthropomorphism problem.50:05 Ethical implications - Regulations, rights and protections.53:20 Survival instinct research in AI.57:20 Brain activity mapping to subjective experience, AI decoder research.50:20 Biological robots: Different emergent possibilities?01:01:50 Cellular material re-purposing itself spontaneously.01:04:10 Could the biosphere be a technology?01:07:40 Quantum Conscious Agency Theory.01:14:05 Quantum Annealing. 01:21:03 Can you test for panpsychism?01:25:10 Buddhism: the dissociated agent approach.References:www.SuzanneGildert.comQuantum Conscious Agent theory presentation - Suzanne Gildert.Jeff Hawkins, Sandra Blakeslee, “On Intelligence“.John Joe Mcfadden, CC Quantum Biology episodeRoger Penrose, Orch OR (Orchestrated objective reduction) theory.Erwin Shrodinger, “What is Life?”.‘In Tests, Open AI's New Model Lied and Schemed to Avoid Being Shut Down' article‘Brain activity decoder can reveal stories in people's minds' articleJerry Tang et al. ‘Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings' paperTristan Harris & Aza Raskin, “The AI Dilemma” presentation, March 2023

Hi Everyone! Happy Halloweeeeeeeen!  It's once again time for our encore holiday episode celebrating candy and the commercialization of the spooky season! In these strange times we take you back to the more innocent days of childhood.  Stealing a bowlful of Halloween candy from your neighbor's porch seems like a gentler crime from gentler days…but there is a social contract involved!  You aren't allowed to trick anyone who has left you a treat.  That's the rule.  So once you are found out, you'd better apologize.  We walk through the history of Halloween, how it took root in America, and what grew out of it that lead to a child in Wisconsin breaking with tradition and stealing all the candy from a neighbor's porch! What other social contracts are being violated?  Regulations around our national food supply?  A short but rousing vegetarian approved sidebar that may just make you choose a salad for lunch.  Or maybe KFC really is the only thing standing between your eyeball and a hungry chicken? Note: discussion of a public shooting begins the episode.

Episode 320 hosts Dr Rami Haidar (Maxillofacial Surgeon from UAE)  Rami joins us in the 29th chapter of our series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe. Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we showcase every level of type of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and aim to inspire our injector listeners. 00:00 Introduction 00:47 Welcome to the ICCE Conference 01:16 Meet Dr. Rami Haidar 01:42 Dr. Rami's Background and Journey 04:29 Life and Practice in Dubai 05:17 The Importance of Surgical Training in Aesthetics 07:03 The Evolution of Aesthetic Training 12:48 Becoming a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) 15:38 The Patient Journey and Consultation Process 19:11 Clinic Overview and Multidisciplinary Approach 19:57 Retention Rates and Challenges in Dubai 20:12 Stocking and Choosing Toxins 20:39 Regulations and Patient Satisfaction in Dubai 22:29 Fillers and FDA Approvals 23:05 Building a Successful Aesthetic Practice 24:17 Opening and Managing a Clinic 26:32 Taxation and Business Environment in Dubai 29:30 Future of Aesthetics and Social Media Influence 30:59 Final Thoughts and Guest Question 33:27 Closing Remarks  SIGN UP HERE: Alma Laser's AU workshop on 10th of November : 'The Aesthetic Playbook: How to build a business that lasts' by David Segal SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE PODCASTS, WEEKLY EDUCATIONAL CONTENT & JOIN OUR WHATSAPP COMMUNITY CLICK HERE TO BROWSE OUR IA OFFERS FOR DISCOUNTS & SPECIALS CLICK HERE IF YOU'RE A BRAND OR COMPANY & WANT TO WORK WITH US CLICK HERE TO APPLY TO BE A GUEST ON OUR PODCAST CONTACT US

October 30, 2025- Democratic state lawmakers and mental health advocates are pushing a package of bills to make mental health services more accessible for New Yorkers using commercial insurance. We discuss the legislation with David Lloyd, chief policy officer for the advocacy group Inseparable.

318: Today's taboo topic involves wiping our butts. I'm just gonna say it to get it out of the way - but it's something we all do and for many, we do it at least once a day. And if you're female, we are wiping more than just our rear ends! That's why I invited Lee Reitelman to join me in today's episode. I recently switched over to a non-toxic toilet paper and fell in love with it so I had to personally invite the CEO and founder to talk about the negative effects conventional toilet paper has on the human body. You may be listening and asking, "what's wrong with toilet paper?" - but what many fail to realize is that several on the market contain formaldehyde, bleach, PEG 40, and forever chemicals. These ingredients in toilet paper are touching our most sensitive areas regularly on the daily, causing health issues we may not realize until years later. In this interview, we talk about bidets and some personal experiences we've had with them and why they may not be for everyone, the environmental aspect of tree based toilet paper, and how toilet paper is actually made and all the steps it takes to make a roll. After this episode you'll think twice about your TP!  Topics Discussed: → Formaldehyde in toilet paper → How conventional toilet paper is made → What is considered “conventional” TP? → Ingredients in conventional toilet paper → Regulations around listing ingredients in TP → Bidets - They're NOT for everyone!  → Bamboo TP v Tree TP → The environmental aspect of conventional TP → Misconceptions around non-toxic TP As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

Is your vacation home investment now a financial burden? With short-term rental regulations tightening across South Carolina, many owners are scrambling for solutions. This week, we welcome Doug Rich, CEO of Plum Co-ownership, to discuss an innovative answer: fractional home ownership. Learn how you can protect your investment, keep the family memories, and continue building a generational legacy, even in a changing market.Doug Rich is the CEO of Plum Co-ownership, a pioneering company that helps vacation homeowners and investors navigate South Carolina's evolving short-term rental landscape. With a focus on fractional ownership, Doug helps clients buy, sell, and manage vacation properties, making real estate investment more accessible and profitable.Key Takeaways:0:04 – Buyers' perspective: Fractional ownership is not a timeshare. Buyers truly own a share of the property, which can appreciate in value over time. Fees and maintenance are fully transparent.0:42 – Sellers' perspective: Owners can access equity from their vacation home while preserving family memories. Fractional ownership allows them to keep a portion of the property.4:09 – How Plum Co-ownership helps: Assists clients in buying, selling, and managing fractional properties, including LLC setup, scheduling, finances, and communications—a turnkey solution.7:01 – Fractional ownership as a crowdfunding model: Multiple investors pool resources to buy higher-value properties, making premium vacation homes more accessible. Example: $3.5M Holden Beach property shared among eight owners.9:03 – Navigating short-term rental regulations: Fractional ownership helps investors comply with new South Carolina short-term rental rules while still generating rental income and maintaining property use.15:09 – Best markets and legacy benefits: Islands like Kiawah, Hilton Head, and Pawleys Island have favorable short-term rental markets. Co-ownership lets families enjoy vacation homes for generations without full ownership costs.23:00 – Common questions answered: Buyers want assurance they truly own something; sellers want to take equity out while keeping access. Co-ownership fosters community and well-managed properties.25:36 – Action takeaway: Regulations may change, but your legacy doesn't have to.

A stroll down the supplement aisle is a walk filled with hope. One pill offers stronger hair and nails. Another promises better memory (which will help when you have to remember to take all these pills). And if you added just one more, you might be able to finally recapture the energy of your teenage years.But how true are these claims? Currently, the Food and Drug Administration does not approve the contents or the labeling dietary supplements before they hit the shelves.Around 75 percent of Americans take a supplement, including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He once said he took so many vitamins he couldn't remember them all. But RFK Jr., who champions supplements and other alternative medicines, is now pushing the FDA for stronger regulations.What could that mean for the supplement industry? And why are so many Americans turning to health alternatives today?Find more of our programs online.
