For more than three decades, trailblazing artist and activist Joyce J. Scott has elevated the creative potential of beadwork as a relevant contemporary art form. Scott uses off-loom, hand-threaded glass beads to create striking figurative sculptures, wall hangings, and jewelry informed by her African American ancestry, the craft traditions of her family (including her mother, renowned quilter Elizabeth T. Scott), and traditional Native American techniques, such as the peyote stitch. Each object that Scott creates is a unique, vibrant, and challenging work of art developed with imagination, wit, and sly humor. Born to sharecroppers in North Carolina who were descendants of enslaved people, Scott's family migrated to Baltimore, Maryland, where the artist was born and raised. Scott hales from a long line of makers with extraordinary craftsmanship adept at pottery, knitting, metalwork, basketry, storytelling, and quilting. It was from her family that the young artist cultivated the astonishing skills and expertise for which she is now renowned, and where she learned to upcycle all materials, repositioning craft as a forceful stage for social commentary and activism. In the 1990s, Scott began working with glass artisans to create blown, pressed, and cast glass that she incorporated into her beaded sculptures. This not only allowed her to increase the scale of her work, but also satisfied her desire to collaborate. In 1992, she was invited to the Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington. Continuing her interest in glass, Scott has worked with local Baltimore glassblowers as well as with flameworking pioneer Paul Stankard and other celebrated glass fabricators. In 2012, Goya Contemporary Gallery arranged to have Scott work at Adriano Berengo's celebrated glass studio on the island of Murano in Italy, creating works that were part of the exhibition Glasstress through the Venice Biennale. Scott has worn many hats during her illustrious career: quilter, performance artist, printmaker, sculptor, singer, teacher, textile artist, recording artist, painter, writer, installation artist, and bead artist. Her wide-ranging body of work has crossed styles and mediums, from the most intricate beaded form to large-scale outdoor installation. Whether social or political, the artist's subject matter reflects her narrative of what it means to be Black in America. Scott continues to live and work in Baltimore, Maryland. She received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA from Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Selected solo museum exhibitions include The Baltimore Museum of Art (2024); Seattle Art Museum (2024 – 2025); and Grounds for Sculpture (2018), Trenton, NJ. She is the recipient of myriad commissions, grants, awards, residencies, and prestigious honors including from the National Endowment for the Arts, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Anonymous Was a Woman, American Craft Council, National Living Treasure Award, Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women's Caucus for the Arts, Mary Sawyers Imboden Baker Award, MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2016), Smithsonian Visionary Artist Award, National Academy of Design Induction, and Moore College Visionary Woman Award, among others. In March of 2024, Scott opened a major 50-year traveling Museum retrospective titled Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams co-organized by the Baltimore Museum of Art and Seattle Art Museum. Also in 2024, Scott opened Bearing Witness: A History of Prints by Joyce J Scott at Goya Contemporary Gallery. Her latest exhibition, Joyce J. Scott: Messages, opened at The Chrysler Museum of Art on February 6, 2025 and will run through August 17, 2025 at the Glass Projects Space. This exhibition is organized by Mobilia Gallery, Cambridge, MA. Says Carolyn Swan Needell, the Chrysler Museum's Barry Curator of Glass: “We are thrilled to host this focused traveling exhibition here in Norfolk at the very moment when Scott's brilliant career is being recognized more widely, through a retrospective of her work that is co-organized by the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Seattle Museum of Art.” In Messages, 34 remarkable beaded works of art spanning the artist's career express contemporary issues and concepts. Included in the show is Scott's recent beaded neckpiece, War, What is it Good For, Absolutely Nothin', Say it Again (2022). A technical feat in peyote stitch, infused with color and texture, this multilayered and intricate beadwork comments on violence in America. Embedding cultural critique within the pleasurable experience of viewing a pristinely crafted object, Scott's work mines history to better understand the present moment. The visual richness of Scott's objects starkly contrasts with the weight of the subject matter that they explore. She says: “I am very interested in raising issues…I skirt the borders between comedy, pathos, delight, and horror. I believe in messing with stereotypes, prodding the viewer to reassess, inciting people to look and then carry something home – even if it's subliminal – that might make a change in them.”
Dan Deming thinks “end of the quarter positioning” is what's behind some of tech's sell-off. The Fed “really doesn't have a lot of control of the back end of the curve,” he adds, despite the administration's pressure to bring rates down.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

AI, Economic Growth & the O-Ring Theory: AI's impact on economic growth is debated—some expect 10% growth, while Noah sees 5% as more realistic.

AI's Impact on Jobs & Productivity: AI is unlikely to eliminate all jobs but will require major adjustments in industries and legal structures.

The words we speak hold great power, influencing our spiritual lives and relationships. The Bible emphasizes the importance of guarding our mouths, as our words can build up or tear down. By filling our speech with praise and aligning our words with God's truth, we can avoid negative influences and strengthen our faith. Faith-filled declarations, like the centurion's trust in Jesus' authority, demonstrate the power of speaking with conviction. Finally, we must reject the world's lies and align our speech with God's promises, declaring life and truth over ourselves and others.

Buckle up, listeners. It was only a matter of time before our paths crossed with Mel Robbins, one of the most respected experts on change and motivation in the zeitgeist, and today is that day. Known for being the host of the #1 ranking education podcast in the world, bringing deeply relatable topics, tactical advice, tools, and compelling conversations to her audiences, Jen and Amy spend today's hour diving into Mel's “Let Them” theory, which is taking the world by storm, already delivering instant peace and freedom in the lives and relationships of people putting it into practice. Together, they discuss: The difference between “Let Them” and “Let Me” Learning to release the white-knuckle grip we hold over other people's behavior (and other things beyond our control) Reframing disappointment to view it as a gift (yes, it's possible!) Repositioning self-worth inward, rather than leaving it dependent on others' opinions. *** Thought-provoking Quotes: “For a lot of women, we spend so much time upstairs in our heads as people-pleasers and over-analyzers, over-thinking and ruminating, trying to get things perfect. That's the last place I should be, personally. I need to drop into my body and get out of my head.” – Mel Robbins “People reveal who they are and what they care about through their behavior. Ignore their words. Watch their behavior. Let people be who they are. Let them do what they're going to do. Focusing on them is not where your power is.” – Mel Robbins “The difference between ‘not my business' and ‘let them' is worlds apart. When you say, ‘not my business', you're scolding yourself. With, ‘let them', you're in the power position because you see what's happening and are choosing to allow it without allowing it. You're rising above it.” – Mel Robbins “There's something about learning that [people] aren't ever going to change but that doesn't mean your relationship can't change for the better. When you let them be who they are, you create space for acceptance, the whole energy shifts.” – Mel Robbins Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Demotivators - https://despair.com/collections/ Effin Birds on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/effinbirds/ Van Morrison - https://www.vanmorrison.com/ No Hard Feelings by the Avett Brothers - https://open.spotify.com/track/0bgQ1hQrpP6ScdBZlDfLE2 Foo Fighters - https://foofighters.com/ DePeche Mode - https://www.depechemode.com/ The Cure - https://www.thecure.com/ Taylor Swift - https://www.taylorswift.com/ The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/427OHwu The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/4hc53bE The Mel Robbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast The Four Questions: For Henny Penny and Anybody with Stressful Thoughts by Byron Katie - https://amzn.to/3C7tKXT My Legacy Podcast - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-my-legacy-podcast-255793246/ Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - https://amzn.to/4ajbyaz Dr. Stuart Ablon - https://www.stuartablon.com/ The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson - https://amzn.to/3PCqxmi Guest's Links: Mel's website - https://www.melrobbins.com/ Mel's podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast Mel's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/ Mel's Twitter - https://x.com/melrobbins Mel's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melrobbins Mel's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/melrobbins Mel's TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@melrobbins Connect with Jen!

Episode 195: The Colonial Roots of Climate Injustice in Africa: A United Front for Strategic Repositioning of the Global South In this lecture, Dr. Fadhel Kaboub identifies the political and economic dynamics between the Global North and South since the wave of African independence in mid-20th century, by which the former has continued its colonial methods of resource extraction, steering the economies of the latter towards dependence on European and American technology and financing. By drawing on examples of large-scale agricultural and energy projects in Ethiopia, Namibia, and Uganda, Dr. Kaboub outlines the process by which African, Latin American, and Middle Eastern resources are captured by foreign energy companies. As Dr. Kaboub explains, poor countries are prevented from developing a domestic manufacturing base, rendering them dependent on companies from the industrialized economies of the Global North, which both produce the technology necessary for resource-harvesting and conduct post-extraction processing or refinement. As such, economies of the Global South are intentionally prevented from industrializing and are instead encouraged to invest heavily in primary resources for subsequent extraction by actors from the Global North. In the final part of his presentation, Dr. Kaboub dedicates his attention to the “carbon credit” scheme, by which large Western energy companies purchase the right to pollute, which they offset by preventing pollution (read: industrialization) in the Global South, in what amounts to painting an environmentally-friendly veneer over the same colonial process. Fadhel Kaboub is Associate Professor of Economics at Denison University (on leave), and the president of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. He is also a member of the Independent Expert Group on Just Transition and Development and serves as senior advisor with Power Shift Africa. He has recently served as Under-Secretary-General for Financing for Development at the Organisation of Southern Cooperation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Dr. Kaboub is an expert on designing public policies to enhance monetary and economic sovereignty in the Global South, build resilience, and promote equitable and sustainable prosperity. His recent work focuses on Just Transition, Climate Finance, and transforming the global trade, finance, and investment architecture. His most recent co-authored publication is Just Transition: A Climate, Energy, and Development Vision for Africa (May 2023, published by the Independent Expert Group on Just Transition and Development). He has held a number of research affiliations with the Levy Economics Institute (NY), the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University (MA), the Economic Research Forum (Cairo), Power Shift Africa (Nairobi), and the Center for Strategic Studies on the Maghreb (Tunis). He is currently based in Nairobi, Kenya and is working on climate finance and development policies in Africa. You can follow him on Twitter @FadhelKaboub and you can read his Global South Perspectives on substack where he blogs regularly. This podcast was recorded on the 9th of March 2024, at the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT) with Dr. Max Ajl, Senior Fellow at the Department of Conflict and Development Studies, Ghent University, researcher with the Observatoire de la Souveraineté Alimentaire et l'Environnement (OSAE), and research fellow at the Merian Center for Advanced Studies in the Maghreb (MECAM).

Pastor Johnson's midweek refuel message focuses on the concept of repositioning in various aspects of life, drawing from biblical stories and personal experiences. The core idea is that if your life isn't full of success, spirituality, and happy relationships, it's time to reposition yourself with the help of God. The message uses the story of Moses, who had to reposition himself to see God's glory, and the disciples who had to cast their net on the right side of the ship to catch fish, as metaphors for the importance of repositioning. Here are some key points from the message: Repositioning is necessary for a better outcome. It's like moving a fishing net from the left side of the ship to the right side to find fish. Repeating the same actions while expecting different results is futile. If something isn't working, it's time to try a different approach. Ignoring problems you have the power to change will lead to negative consequences, and you can only blame yourself. 2025 should be a year of repositioning to achieve desired outcomes. Pastor Johnson identifies four key areas for repositioning: Mindset: Renew your mind and do not conform to the world. Instead, be transformed by the renewing of your mind as described in Romans 12:2. Association: Be mindful of the company you keep, and associate with people who uplift you rather than drag you down. The scripture 2 Corinthians 6:14 advises against being "unequally yoked" with unbelievers. Perception of Sin: Reposition your perception of right and wrong, good and evil, based on God's word rather than the world's standards. Do not call evil good and good evil as warned in Isaiah 5:20. Relationship: Reposition your relationship with God by reading the Bible more often. Additionally, spend more quality time with family. He provides seven quotes emphasizing the importance of family: In conclusion, the message encourages listeners to take a proactive approach to making changes in their lives by repositioning themselves in various areas with the help of God. It also emphasizes that 2025 should be a year of repositioning to achieve better outcomes and to get the blessings that people deserve from God.
Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Shulhan Aruch writes (Orah Haim 28; listen to audio recording for precise citation) that one is required to touch his Tefillin "at every moment" while he wears them, so that his mind will not be distracted from them. The Mishna Berura (commentary by Rav Yisrael Kagan, 1839-1933) clarifies that this refers to every time when a person mentions the Tefillin in the prayer service. In the Shema recitation, for example, when one recites "U'kshartam Le'ot Al Yadecha," which refers to the Tefillin Shel Yad, he should touch the Tefillin Shel Yad, and when he recites the next phrase – "Ve'hayu Le'totafot Ben Enecha" – which refers to the Tefillin Shel Rosh, he should touch the Tefillin Shel Rosh. The Shulhan Aruch emphasizes that whenever one touches his Tefillin, he should first touch the Tefillin Shel Yad, and then the Tefillin Shel Rosh. The Mishna Berura explains that this Halacha is based on the principle of "En Ma'abirin Al Ha'misvot," which means that one must never skip over the opportunity to perform a Misva. Since one's hand in its normal position is closer to the Tefillin Shel Yad than to the Tefillin Shel Rosh, one must first touch the Shel Yad, for otherwise he will be "skipping" the Shel Yad to touch the Shel Rosh. The Mishna Berura comments further than besides serving to keep one's mind focused on the Tefillin, occasionally touching the Tefillin is important as a means of checking to ensure that it is positioned properly. If one feels the Tefillin Shel Yad or Tefillin Shel Rosh and notices that it has shifted from its proper location, he must immediately return the Tefillin to its correct spot. If one notices that both the Shel Yad and the Shel Rosh are out of position, then he should first return the Shel Yad to its place, and then the Shel Rosh. The Torah (in the aforementioned verse in the Shema section) first mentions the Shel Yad before the Shel Rosh, indicating that one must place the Shel Yad before donning the Shel Rosh. By the same token, then, if they are both out of position, one should first move the Shel Yad and then the Shel Rosh. When one removes his Tefillin, he should first remove the Shel Rosh before removing the Shel Yad. The Torah speaks of the Tefillin Shel Rosh in the plural form ("Totafot"), indicating that the Tefillin Shel Rosh is worn when both Tefillin are worn, meaning, when the Tefillin Shel Yad is also worn. Thus, one should avoid a situation where the Tefillin Shel Rosh is on his head but the Tefillin Shel Yad is not on his arm. For this reason, one must remove the Shel Rosh before removing the Shel Yad. One should stand while removing the Tefillin Shel Rosh. The Mishna Berura writes that it is proper to remove the Tefillin Shel Rosh with one's weaker hand. A right-handed person should thus remove the Tefillin Shel Rosh with his left hand, and a left-handed person should remove his Tefillin Shel Rosh with his right hand. The reason for this practice is to demonstrate that we are not enthusiastic about removing our Tefillin, and we therefore do so with our weaker hand, which moves with less strength and vigor. Whenever one handles his Tefillin, he should hold it with both hands, carefully and delicately, the way one holds an infant. He should hold the Bayit (box of the Tefillin) with one hand, and the straps with the other, so that they don't dangle. This is the proper way to hold the Tefillin as an expression of honor and reverence. Likewise, while removing the Tefillin Shel Rosh, one should use one hand to remove the Bayit (a right-handed uses his left hand, as discussed above) and the other to hold the straps. Similarly, when one removes the Tefillin from their bag, he should remove them with both hands, and not allow the straps to drag or dangle. The Mishna Berura records a custom to kiss the Tefillin both when putting them on and when removing them. Furthermore, the Mishna Berura writes, one should not wrap the Tefillin straps on the Bayit; he should instead wrap them on the Titura (the base of the Tefillin). However, this Halacha is not generally applicable nowadays, since we commonly keep the Tefillin in a protective plastic box, and it is certainly permissible to wrap the Tefillin straps on the box. The Mishna Berura also records a custom to wrap the Tefillin in the shape of wings, to commemorate the incident recorded in the Gemara where a man's Tefillin miraculously turned into dove's wings. Summary: It is proper to touch one's Tefillin at various points in the prayer service; one should first touch the Tefillin Shel Yad, followed by the Shel Rosh. The Tefillin Shel Yad is always put on before the Tefillin Shel Rosh, and the Tefillin Shel Rosh is always removed before the Tefillin Shel Yad. It is proper to use one's weaker hand when removing the Tefillin Shel Rosh. In general, whenever one handles his Tefilin, he should hold them delicately, with two hands, and ensure that the straps do not drag on the floor or dangle in the air.

Repositioning a 60-year-old distribution company - during COVID no less - is a Herculean effort. Considering that VSE Corporation's market cap has gone from $300 million to $1.2 billion since 2019, the mission has been successful. For the CEO tasked with this turnaround, there's one key ingredient to this success - present leadership. In this post-COVID era of remote work, it's easy for companies to take an out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach, but VSE does the opposite. Prioritizing the right things, identifying the underutilized gems, and putting effort into the foundation pays off. How do you turn a 60-year-old company into a market leader? How is VSE Corporation approaching M&A? In this episode, CEO John Cuomo talks about his journey since taking over the company, why his mindset is one of “writing a new volume of a book”, what sets them apart, and the secret to their success. By the way… he's also one of the most sought-after CEO's in the industry! The presence of a leader is important, even if it's limited. I think it sends a big message, you connect in different ways and you get something different out of the business' story. -John Cuomo Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -1+1 is greater than 2 When conducting M&A many companies are mainly focused on buying a great asset. Why does the VSE Corporation start with strategy and culture? -The whole power of presence It's easy to have a disconnect between the company's leadership strategy and the people working the floor. How does VSE make sure the whole company is moving together in the right direction? -The easiest journeys don't give you the best reward Transforming a company is no easy feat. Why does John Cuomo liken it to tearing a house down to the studs, rebuilding it, and ending up with the best home on the block? Guest Bio John Cuomo is the President and CEO of VSE Corporation. Appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2019, he brings 21 years of experience in distribution and the aftermarket services industry. John previously served as Vice President and General Manager of Boeing Distribution Services Inc. Prior to Boeing's 2018 acquisition of the Aerospace Solutions Group of KLX Inc., John served as its President and General Manager (since 2014).

Chapter 1:Summary of Positioning Book"Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind" by Al Ries and Jack Trout, first published in 1981, is a groundbreaking book in the field of marketing. It introduces the concept of "positioning" which focuses on the strategy of placing a brand or product in the customer's mind in a way that emphasizes the distinct benefits and qualities unique to that brand or product.Here are several key points from the book:1. **Positioning Defined**: Positioning is not about what you do to a product. It's about what you do to the mind of the prospect. It involves elements like the name, price, and the features of the product, but fundamentally it's about perceptions.2. **The Overcommunicated Society**: The book discusses how the massive amount of daily advertising messages has led to a cluttered marketplace. Consumers are bombarded with information, making it hard for any single message to stand out.3. **Simplifying the Message**: With an overwhelming number of choices and advertisements, concise and clear messages are crucial. Positioning is about making a product or service understand quickly and effortlessly.4. **Finding a "Hole" in the Market**: One of the effective strategies in positioning is finding a gap—a "hole" in the existing market where your product can fit in. This often involves identifying a specific niche or an overlooked need that competitors are not addressing.5. **Repositioning the Competition**: Positioning also involves sometimes comparing or contrasting a product against existing competitors to highlight its distinctiveness. It can even involve repositioning a competitor unfavorably to advantage your product.6. **Case Studies and Examples**: Throughout the book, Ries and Trout utilize multiple real-world cases to illustrate successful and unsuccessful positioning strategies, offering insights into the practical application of the theories they propose.7. **Importance of Consistency**: Successful positioning requires consistency over time. Initial positioning efforts can be wasted if not maintained, and frequent changes can confuse and alienate customers."Positioning" by Al Ries and Jack Trout has become an essential reference in marketing, emphasizing understanding consumer perception and creatively using it to position a brand. It's particularly relevant in today's market, where consumer attention spans are limited and competition is fierce.

In business, it's crucial to adapt and evolve, which includes periodically reassessing and potentially repositioning your business to better serve your changing audience or your own professional growth. This often involves updating your website, refining your offers, and adjusting your marketing strategies. Ultimately, a forward-looking approach, with a focus on building the new rather than clinging to outdated strategies, will ensure you channel your energy into growth and innovation. Is now the perfect time to reinvent or reposition your business? Quotes “People get tired of what they do too, right? They get burned out. And they also may want to shift or reposition themselves or kind of reinvent themselves for a number of reasons. One could be burnout. One could be they want to work with a different clientele. One could be redefining your target audience again, kind of gets back to: What do you wanna offer and who do you wanna work with and how do you wanna work with them?” “Let's say you were a coach that was working one-on-one with people, and you're a little burned out of the one-on-one work. And you wanna do more, the one to many and scale your business in that way. Now, that is a subtle positioning change, but the way your offer needs to be restructured is what needs to change significantly. And then you also have to position that new offer in different ways through marketing techniques.” “You have to look at a few factors [when transitioning]. One is your income. How can your income stay consistent while you're making this shift and transitioning? Another factor to consider is if you have a team that works with you. How do you keep that team employed if they fit into your longer term plan as you're shifting? So, making sure that you have enough existing work coming in to support the team as you're starting to make a shift. So it could be more of a gradual shift and more of a long term shift. And then another factor to consider is how do you transition your existing target audience and the people you're working with to the new.” “With our own business, we redo our own website, anywhere from three to four years. We do kind of a massive redo with our website. And we change the copy and we change the look and feel. “We are constantly up-leveling our own offers, our own image, you know, refining what we offer because our clients are also getting bigger and more sophisticated, and demand more, right?” “The more we can reveal about ourselves that helps communicate our personality and helps communicate our reputation and helps communicate our intent in our values, the more we are kind of opening the kimono and revealing to people who we are so we can improve that know-like-trust factor and they feel comfortable getting into a business relationship with us.” “People can feel soul, right? AI doesn't have soul. That's what I always say, but people can feel true soul. It's maybe more ethereal again, maybe more subliminal, but people can sense it.” Links mentioned in this episode: Episode 140 | What You Need to Know about Crafting Your Offer: https://thebrandid.com/podcast/140-what-you-need-to-know-about-crafting-your-offer

Cruise lines charge less per day for repositioning cruises than ANY of their other cruises, making them some of the most inexpensive and appealing to many cruisers. But I've met so many people on them discovering too late that being inexpensive alone is not a good reason for doing them, as they'd been caught out or fallen into some traps. The same ones I see repeatedly.
