In this episode of All My Relations, guest host Dallas Goldtooth sits down with Theresa Sheldon, citizen and elected Secretary of the Tulalip Tribes, for an unfiltered conversation about sovereignty, leadership, and the responsibilities Native nations carry today.Drawing on more than two decades of experience in tribal policy and governance, Theresa challenges conventional ideas about power and leadership. Together, they discuss tribal responses to immigration enforcement, the limits of colonial government structures, the ongoing fight for jurisdiction and sovereignty, and why elected officials are not always the same as community leaders.The conversation also explores intergenerational trauma, healing, and what it means to move beyond survival. Theresa reflects on the importance of protecting Native children, rebuilding community wellness, and a question that resonates throughout the episode:If we're all willing to die for our nations, who is living for them?This episode is a powerful reflection on Indigenous leadership, accountability, healing, and the work of building strong nations for future generations.Produced by Matika WilburHosted by Dallas GoldtoothAV Production by Pancho Francisco SánchezArtwork by Kitana ConnellySocial Media Strategy by Mandy YeahpauText us your thoughts!Support the showFollow us on Instagram @amrpodcast, or support our work on Patreon.

An individual working on the Pine Ridge Reservation receives a late-night call during one of the coldest nights in South Dakota history. What begins as a report of a woman sitting alone in the snow turns into a face-to-face encounter with a yellow-eyed figure standing in an open field.In this episode, Keith shares his firsthand sighting from January 2001 along with years of reports gathered across the Pine Ridge Reservation. You'll hear about massive footprints circling homes, terrified dogs hiding under porches, a towering figure peering through residential windows, mysterious activity near sweat lodges, a vehicle collision involving an unknown creature, and stories passed down by tribal members who have lived with these encounters for generations.Keith also takes us to Washington's Quinault Reservation, where a frantic family reported a large creature moving behind their home, leaving behind evidence that stretched from a residential neighborhood to the Queets River.These accounts span decades, multiple reservations, and some of the most active Bigfoot regions in North America. Every story adds another piece to a mystery that continues to leave witnesses searching for answers.Resources:
In this episode of Working the Floor, we sit down with hospitality heavyweight Martin Kuczmarski, the man behind some of London's most sought-after restaurants: The Dover, Dover Street Counter, and Martino's. Drawing on nearly three decades in hospitality, including 15 years helping build Soho House into a global phenomenon, Martin shares the philosophy that has made his own ventures such runaway successes. From handwritten reservation books and frozen martini glass swaps to triple-layered tablecloths and mouthwash in the bathrooms, every detail is designed with one goal in mind: making guests feel happier when they leave than when they arrived.Martin reflects on why he left Soho House, what inspired him to bring "old-school hospitality" back to modern London, and why he believes the industry has become too focused on trends at the expense of genuine service. He discusses the creation of The Dover, a restaurant built around timeless elegance, simple food done exceptionally well, and an unwavering commitment to hospitality. Along the way, he shares stories about designing chairs through dozens of prototypes, reviving classic dishes like spaghetti meatballs and prawn cocktail, and why instinct—not market research—has guided every major decision in his career.The conversation also explores the future of hospitality, the challenges facing London's restaurant scene, and Martin's views on members' clubs, pricing, staff culture, and what separates great operators from struggling ones. Packed with insight, humour, and a few perfectly made martinis, this episode is a masterclass in creating memorable experiences. Whether you're a restaurateur, hospitality professional, or simply someone who loves great restaurants, Martin's passion for people and service shines through from start to finish.BUY TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW HERE - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/go-to-food-podcast-live-with-chef-adam-byatt-tickets-1992111901323?aff=oddtdtcreatorWatch and Subscribe To Our Youtube Videos Here - https://www.youtube.com/@gotofoodYou can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

Generating Leads Isn't the Hard Part Anymore The real challenge is turning those leads into appointments—and appointments into patients. In this episode, Dr. Noel Lloyd shares the systems top-performing chiropractic clinics are using to improve follow-up, increase show rates, and create a more reliable flow of new patients. In This Episode You'll Learn: How the "Co-Pilot" system removes the doctor as the marketing bottleneck Why response time is one of the biggest drivers of lead conversion The Facebook ad testing strategy helping clinics identify winning messages faster How retargeting builds trust before a prospect ever calls your office The psychology behind low-friction introductory offers The reservation fee strategy reducing no-shows and increasing commitment How to incentivize your team to improve lead conversion Why AI-powered search platforms are becoming the next frontier of patient acquisition Practical steps to position your clinic as the local authority online Key Takeaway The clinics winning today aren't necessarily generating more leads. They're simply doing a better job of converting the leads they already have. Master your follow-up systems, improve your response times, and create a clear path from click to appointment—and you'll immediately gain an advantage over most practices in your market.

This episode comes out of a recent conversation I had with author and researcher Norman Sollie, and it stopped me cold. Norman is the author of a brand-new book called Before Patty, Volume One: Patrick, the Sasquatch-Human Hybrid and Our Genetic Inheritance, and when we sat down to talk, he walked me through one of the most remarkable stories I've come across in close to forty years on this subject.I knew I had to share it with you. This isn't the interview itself. This is me, sitting at the mic, telling you what I learned and why I think it matters.The story starts in the late summer of eighteen ninety-one, at a Sinixt fishing camp on the San Poil River in Eastern Washington. A young bride, newly married, went down to fetch water one evening and was taken from her own people by what the Lake Band called a Skanicum, their word for Sasquatch. She was held in the high country for two months. She escaped while her captor was sleeping in a wild potato patch. She came home pregnant. And nine months later she gave birth to a boy named Patrick.That's where most of us thought the story ended, because the original ethnographic record set down by Dr. Ed Fusch in nineteen ninety-two left Patrick dying young and most of the trail going cold.What Norman did, working alongside genealogist Heather Moser of Small Town Monsters, was reopen the case. He surfaced a hundred and sixty historical documents that all point to the same man. Birth records. A land patent on a hundred and four acres of Colville Reservation ranch land, signed by President Woodrow Wilson in nineteen seventeen. Arrest reports. Court filings. Mugshots from the front and the side. And a careful ink signature, in Patrick's own hand, that now sits on the cover of Norman's book. In this episode I take you through everything Norman shared with me. The Russian hominologist whose self-published book first pointed Norman toward Patrick. The forty-eight hours it took Heather to find him. The physical features that mark Patrick as something other than fully human, including a steeply sloped forehead, ears rotated more than twenty degrees below the human norm, a short compressed neck that mirrors Neanderthal anatomy, and a missing chin. The strange brilliance of a man who somehow always knew what was in everybody else's hand at the card table. The eight children Patrick fathered. The slow decline through alcohol and Prohibition-era bootlegging. The death in a Seattle morning in nineteen sixty-two, on the same day Norman himself arrived in the United States as a child. And the forty-some living descendants still walking around right now, carrying Patrick's bloodline forward without most of them having any idea what their great-grandfather actually was.This is the story the way Norman has reconstructed it, layered against the original Sinixt family memory that came down through Laura and Francis, two Lake Band women who knew Patrick personally and trusted Dr. Fusch enough to tell him the truth in nineteen eighty-five. It's the story of one young woman whose name has been lost, one boy who shouldn't have existed by any standard explanation of mammalian genetics, and one bloodline that's still moving forward in the Pacific Northwest while the rest of the world goes about its business none the wiser. I'll have Norman on the show in a future episode to go deeper with him directly. In the meantime, pick up his book. Before Patty, Volume One: Patrick, the Sasquatch-Human Hybrid and Our Genetic Inheritance is available at beforepatty.com, or through Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. Better yet, ask for it through your local independent bookseller or Barnes and Noble. Norman has volume two on the way, making the evolutionary case for Sasquatch, with volume three to follow on what he calls the weird stuff.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

This week on the RV Podcast News Edition, Mike Wendland digs into four stories every RVer should be paying attention to.First up: Is Camping World really in trouble? Rumors of bankruptcy exploded online after comparisons were made to the collapse of marine retailer West Marine. Mike separates the facts from the fear and explains what's really happening inside the RV industry right now.Then, Yosemite National Park is becoming a crowded mess. Reservation systems are gone, traffic is piling up, vandalism is increasing, and many park employees are sounding the alarm about what this summer could look like.Also in this episode: Why are RV owners staying home? KOA's CEO just revealed a troubling trend inside the camping industry. More RV owners than ever are using their rigs less often, or not at all. Rising travel costs, fuel prices, campground fees, and economic uncertainty are changing how people camp.And finally, some good news.

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. Jack made a reservation for dinner. Oh, and we're having a meeting at 2:00. Sorry, I already have plans tonight.Appointment, Reservation, Meeting, and Plans. These words all talk about arrangements, usually in the future, right? So why can't you say, “I have a reservation with my dentist”? Or, “I have plans with my boss at work”? And what about this sentence: “I have a promise with my friend.” Yeah… that doesn't sound natural.So today, we're going to clear all of this up and learn how to naturally use appointment, reservation, meeting, and plans in everyday English.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads

The new i7 swaps its old 105.7kWh battery for a 112.5kWh pack using Gen6 cylindrical cells, pushing maximum range from 387 miles to 452 miles and DC charging speed from 195kW to 250kW, while adaptive dampers and active rear steering become standard across the whole range.The styling adopts BMW's Neue Klasse design language with slimmer crystal-embedded headlights, a horizontal-slat grille, 22-inch alloys as standard, and up to 500 exterior colour combinations including a new two-tone option. Inside, the i7 becomes the first BMW to offer a front-passenger touchscreen (14.6 inches), gains a 17.9-inch central display and a sweeping 43.3-inch Panoramic iDrive dashboard, while rear passengers keep their 31.3-inch 8K cinema screen and 35-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system.***RIVIAN STARTS R2 PRODUCTION IN ILLINOISRivian has begun production of the R2 at its Normal, Illinois plant, with CFO Claire McDonough confirming the start in a Reuters interview and first customer deliveries expected later this spring. Reservation holders will receive configuration invitations in June, with the $57,990 Launch Edition shipping first, followed by the $53,990 Premium later in 2026 and the more affordable Standard and entry variants arriving through 2027.Rivian expects R2 to cost less than half of what an R1 costs to build once higher volumes are reached in 2027, and the vehicle also underpins the company's broader ambitions including the $2,500 Autonomy+ self-driving package and an Uber robotaxi partnership worth up to $1.25 billion across 25 cities.***GM SAYS NO DELAY TO ELECTRIC TRUCK PROGRAMMEGM publicly denied cancelling any electric trucks after Crain's Detroit Business — citing three anonymous sources — reported that the automaker had indefinitely delayed its next-generation electric truck programme, which had been targeting a 2028 production start for refreshed versions of the Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Hummer, and Escalade IQ. GM told Motor1 that "EVs remain the end game" and confirmed no impact to current electric truck production, though the company gave no timeline for when the next-generation programme might resume.Supplier executives and analysts told Crain's they do not expect a new generation of GM's all-electric truck line until 2030 or beyond, suggesting the delay is substantial even if GM stops short of calling it a cancellation.***SMART #2 SETS UP FORTWO RETURNSmart has unveiled the Smart #2 concept, a two-door, two-seat electric city car that revives the spirit of the original Fortwo, with a production model expected to launch in October 2026. Built on the Electric Compact Architecture platform, it offers an estimated 186-mile range — a dramatic leap over the old EQ Fortwo's 58-mile range — along with a 10–80% charge time of under 20 minutes and vehicle-to-load capability.Expected to measure around 106 inches (2.7 metres) long, the Smart #2 would be smaller than the Dacia Spring and Renault Twingo, placing it among Europe's smallest new EVs at launch.***ID. BUZZ ADDS AWD AND NEW TECHVolkswagen Commercial Vehicles is rolling out a 2026 model year update for the ID. Buzz this summer, headlined by the new Pro 4MOTION variant that pairs a 210kW rear motor with a front motor for a combined 250kW and raises towing capacity to 1.8 tonnes on the standard wheelbase. The update also brings one-pedal driving capable of bringing the vehicle to a full stop, a new Innovision infotainment system with an integrated app store, traffic-light-responsive Connected Travel Assist, a welcome return to physical steering wheel buttons, and optional vehicle-to-load capability at up to 2.0kW.***CHARGEPOINT LAUNCHES 600KW EXPRESS SOLOChargePoint has unveiled the Express Solo, a standalone DC fast charger capable of delivering up to 600kW, which the company says sets a new benchmark for public charging in the US. The unit supports two simultaneous sessions, accepts direct DC input for integration with on-site battery storage, enables bidirectional charging, and uses an Omni Port combining CCS1 and NACS connectors — all at a claimed 30% lower purchase and operating cost than comparable high-power chargers.***FRANCE SETS 2035 ROAD CHARGING PLANFrance's government has published a national strategy to deploy around 30,000 EV charging points on motorways and national roads by 2035, targeting corridors that carry roughly one third of all traffic despite representing just 2% of total road length. The plan includes approximately 22,000 fast chargers at around 150kW for light vehicles across 900 service areas — a fivefold capacity increase — plus 8,000 heavy-duty charging points across 560 locations.***COKE CANADA ADDS VOLVO ELECTRIC TRUCKSCoca-Cola Canada Bottling is expanding its electric fleet to nearly 40 vehicles by adding Volvo VNR Electric trucks in Quebec City and the Vancouver area, building on a 2023 pilot programme that tested six of the trucks in real-world conditions. Each VNR Electric uses a six-battery configuration with a range of up to 440km, and the expansion is supported by a new 180kW Heliox Flex charging station in Quebec City and two additional chargers in Vancouver.***PG&E ADDS CYBERTRUCK TO V2G PILOTPG&E and Tesla have added the Cybertruck to PG&E's residential vehicle-to-grid programme, using Tesla's Powershare Gateway and Universal Wall Connector in what is the first AC-based V2G application approved for California customers. Participants can receive up to $4,500 in incentives for bidirectional charging equipment and earn additional compensation for exporting electricity back to the grid during peak demand events.***VOLKSWAGEN SETS GERMAN V2G LAUNCH FOR 2026Volkswagen and its energy subsidiary Elli plan to launch a fully integrated vehicle-to-grid service for private customers in Germany in Q4 2026, with pre-registration opening in June, promising annual earnings of €700–€900 under favourable conditions. Elli will manage the full stack — dynamic tariff, DC bidirectional charger, smart meter integration, and a control app — backed by around one million bidirectional-capable MEB-platform EVs already on European roads.
Why did the Narendra Modi-led BJP government bring the Women's Reservation Bill even though it had already been passed with the Opposition's help in 2023? The reason is that it was only a trick to carry out delimitation ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. So far, delimitation has taken place in Assan and Jammu and Kashmir. In both these places, the exercise has led to gerrymandering, or manipulation to benefit the BJP. How was this done? Will this happen nationally? Watch this video to find out.

In this episode, we cover a fantastic range of reads — from Brandon Sanderson's wildly fun middle grade adventure Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians, to three recent standout picks: the ensemble restaurant drama The Reservation, the survival love story Castle of Water, and the richly reimagined fairy tale Lady Tremaine. We also highlight two exciting new additions to the list — a clever Groundhog Day-style Japanese murder mystery and a deliciously twisty locked-room thriller set in a haunted library. Plus, a deep dive into how to organize your Kindle library so it actually works for you.
My guest on the show today is the inimitable Sherman Alexie, poet, novelist, Substacker, and occasional screenwriter.I would be surprised if you don't already know who Alexi ise, given that he's been an award winning and best-selling writer for decades now and is almsot certainly the best known Native American writer of our time.I asked him on, naturally, to talk about genre television. I'd noticed over the past few years that whenever I posted something to Substack about whatever random genre TV I happened to watching at the moment, Alexie would often pop in to respond. It became clear that we shared an earnest love of TV as emotional comfort food, and I wanted to talk to him about that. It naturally spins off into all sorts of other issues about childhood, reservation culture, literature and other forms of media, and politics.It is, in other words, an immensely fun conversation. Hope you enjoy.Peace This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit danieloppenheimer.substack.com/subscribe

Amit Shah & Modi Big Chess Move - Women's Reservation Bill Advanced | Why Is Didi Upset? |HarshKumar
Motor pools are making a comeback, and not as “loaner cars,” but as true internal rental programs that help fleets cut costs while improving access and availability. Marc Canton sits down with Tony Yankovich to break down what's driving the surge (hint: utilization and right-sizing), how to spot the “shareable” vehicles hiding in plain sight, and why timing-of-use matters as much as total miles. They dig into real-world examples, like seasonal sharing of heavy equipment, and a university's surprising lesson on vehicle selection (recruiting demands don't fit in a basic SUV). Plus: the policies that make or break adoption, how to keep pricing simple, what fees actually change behavior, and why you should size to ~80–85% demand with a rental backfill plan for peak days. If you're motor-pool curious (or your loaner program is chaos), this is your blueprint. Key Takeaways 1. Motor pools are evolving into internal “rental programs.” Modern motor pools aren't just spare or loaner vehicles anymore. When structured well, they function like an internal rental operation: employees reserve vehicles when needed, use them, and return them, maximizing utilization while reducing unnecessary fleet ownership. 2. Utilization (not total fleet size) is the real optimization lever. Many fleets carry “just-in-case” vehicles that sit idle most of the time. By analyzing when vehicles are actually used (not just how many miles they drive), fleets can identify vehicles that could be shared instead of permanently assigned. 3. Timing of demand matters as much as demand itself. Two departments may both need vehicles frequently, but if they need them at different times of day, week, or season, a shared motor pool can serve both groups with fewer vehicles. 4. Seasonal and situational sharing unlocks hidden capacity. Heavy equipment, specialty vehicles, or seasonal-use assets are often perfect candidates for shared fleet pools. When departments coordinate access, fleets can avoid purchasing equipment that only gets used a few months each year. 5. Right-size the pool to about 80–85% of demand. Trying to cover 100% of demand usually leads to over-ownership. Instead, fleets should size motor pools to meet most demand and rely on short-term rentals or backup options during peak usage periods. 6. Policy and process determine success. Motor pools fail when policies are unclear or inconsistent. Clear reservation rules, pickup/return procedures, fueling expectations, and accountability standards help ensure vehicles are available and ready for the next user. 7. Chargebacks help drive the right behavior. When departments see the real cost of vehicle use through simple and transparent chargeback models, they're more likely to reserve vehicles responsibly and avoid unnecessary trips. 8. Vehicle selection must match real use cases. One example discussed involved a university that discovered recruiters needed larger, more comfortable vehicles to transport candidates. Choosing the wrong vehicle type can undermine adoption, even if the motor pool system itself works well. 9. Simplicity encourages adoption. Reservation systems, pricing structures, and policies should be easy to understand. If employees find the system complicated, they'll avoid using it and default back to assigned vehicles. 10. Motor pools support broader fleet right-sizing initiatives. When implemented properly, motor pools help organizations reduce excess vehicles, improve access to transportation, and lower total cost of ownership without limiting operational capability. Speaker Bios Marc Canton VP of Product & Consultant, RTA Fleet Marc Canton serves as Vice President of Product and a fleet consultant at RTA Fleet, the Fleet Success Company. With deep experience working alongside public sector and commercial fleet organizations, Marc focuses on helping fleets improve operational efficiency, right-size vehicle inventories, and leverage data to make smarter decisions. As host of the Fleet Success Show, he regularly interviews industry leaders and practitioners to share practical strategies that help fleet professionals solve real-world challenges. Tony Yankovich Fleet Industry Leader & Motor Pool Strategy Expert Tony Yankovich is a respected fleet industry professional known for his expertise in fleet operations, vehicle utilization strategy, and motor pool program development. Throughout his career, Tony has worked closely with organizations to design and implement shared vehicle programs that improve utilization, reduce unnecessary fleet ownership, and create more efficient transportation systems. His practical experience helping fleets transition from traditionally assigned vehicles to structured motor pool models has made him a trusted voice in modern fleet optimization.

Tammy Haddad most recently finished teaching 5th and 6th grade and she likes to think that she knows what kids are into these days. My guest is also the host of the "Cozy Rainbow" podcast which is geared for kids 10 years and up. As the oldest of four siblings, Tammy says "I definitely get my drive from my mother. My father says "all my good qualities are from my mom."Though Tammy grew up in Las Vega, NV, she still has family that live on the reservation in Monument Valley, UT where her mother was raised. And it was through her tribe that both Shirlene and Tammy were able to get funds for their education. Tammy's family was able to receive funding for college through various organizations, including the 'Native American Scholarship' (NAS) and 'Indian Health Services' (IHS) programs, just to name a few. Tammy explained "if you receive funding from IHS for college as Tammy's mother did, your first job in the healthcare field, you must work for two years on a reservation-part of a give back program." "My mother insisted that I apply for scholarships. I know lots of kids who didn't apply. I even worked at the scholarship office in college. I was dedicated to getting funding because of my mother. "Mom said, just get up and do it." In turn, Tammy then was there to heIp her younger siblings apply as well. And today, Tammy does not have tremendous outstanding loans.Tammy also shared her experience of coming out to her parents when she was then 16. She says "it was no big deal." She told her dad first, then her mom and her mom basically said "ok , cool no big deal." Tammy was very happy that her parents where understanding and that it wasn't a big to do. She also doesn't understand why her sexual preference is anyone else's business. Tammy's advice to parents is, "tell your kids you love them no matter what, you'll never kick them out, and you'll always have a place to live here. Coming out doesn't have to be such a big deal," according to Tammy."Mom did all that she did-moved away, moved off the reservation and got her degree because she wanted me to have all the opportunities that she didn't have. My mom calls me her reincarnation" giggles Tammy. Not only do mother and daughter have similar personality traits, they do look very much alike.SOCIAL MEDIATWITTER: Tammy Haddad (@Had2Tammy) / TwitterFacebook: Cozy Rainbow Learning Co. - Home | FacebookInstagram: http://instagram.com/cozyrainbownvYoutube: Cozy Rainbow - YouTube "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.
