The MFR Coach’s Podcast w/Heather Hammell, Life + Business Coach for Myofascial Release Therapists
Welcome back to Viola Station, everyone, where 2 of your 3 favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots brave the heat and ennui of summer to talk about the Leicester City friendly and the transfer market. On the topic of the former, we chop up the action a little bit while trying to remember that these friendlies are utterly meaningless while still trying to draw some sort of conclusion. After that, we delve into the transfer market, discussing new signing Simon Sohm and some of the departures we're expecting and the Fiorentina salary structure and its implications. Along the way, we discuss Producer Mike's haunted house, some offhand disdain for Pisa, and Mbarney Nzola. Thank you to Sport Social Podcast Network for hosting us and to Windchime Weather for the music. As always, we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making this. You could leave a rating and review if you want, but whatever. You can reach out to us on the website, Twitter, or Bluesky. Forza Viola! Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's MadTech Daily, we discuss OpenX accusing Google of ad auction bias in a new lawsuit, Perplexity being accused of ignoring AI scraping blocks, and the falling number of Brits consuming news through print or online news brands.
Web crawlers deployed by Perplexity to scrape websites are allegedly skirting restrictions, according to a new report from Cloudflare. Specifically, the report claims that the company's bots appear to be "stealth crawling" sites by disguising their identity to get around robots.txt files and firewalls. In other news, the Lunar Trailblazer mission to the moon officially ended on July 31, but it wasn't a complete journey. NASA said that its teams lost contact with the satellite shortly after its launch several months prior; Four years after Amazon's acquisition of podcast network Wondery, the tech giant is dismantling its $300 million purchase and reorganizing various audio properties into separate teams at the company.

Esaminiamo la crescente sfida del web scraping da parte dell'intelligenza artificiale generativa, sottolineando come le tradizionali difese, come i file robots.txt, siano diventate inefficaci contro tattiche sofisticate come il "crawling invisibile" e la manipolazione di indirizzi IP. Le fonti concordano sul fatto che i paywall rappresentino una difesa primaria e cruciale per la monetizzazione e il controllo dei contenuti, rendendoli inaccessibili ai crawler non autenticati. Tuttavia, avvertono che i paywall da soli non sono sufficienti a causa della capacità dell'IA di ricostruire i contenuti da frammenti pubblici e di eludere i "soft paywall". Pertanto, viene proposto un approccio strategico multilivello, che integra protezioni a livello di infrastruttura (come Cloudflare), politiche chiare delle piattaforme (ad esempio, Medium e Substack), contromisure legali (Termini di Servizio, DRM) e scelte editoriali ponderate per salvaguardare la proprietà intellettuale nell'era dell'IA.

Welcome back to the True Hauntings Podcast — where the shadows speak, the walls remember, and the spirits never rest.In this episode we take you deep into the dark heart of one of Western Australia's most haunted and historic buildings — the Fremantle Arts Centre. But before it was a hub of creativity and culture… it was something far more sinister.Originally built in the 1860s as the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum, this imposing Gothic limestone structure holds a past soaked in sorrow, tragedy, and — many say — the paranormal. Over the decades, it has served as a mental hospital, a women's home, a naval base, and now an arts venue. But some believe the spirits of those who suffered here never left…Visitors and staff alike have reported disembodied screams, phantom footsteps echoing through empty halls, and sudden icy chills even on the hottest summer days. One of the most frequently seen apparitions is that of a woman in white, believed to be a former patient who died in anguish. Others claim to have seen the figure of a sad-eyed man staring from the upper windows — long after the building should be empty.So what secrets are still locked behind those towering stone walls? Is it residual energy from a tortured past... or are the ghosts of the Fremantle Arts Centre still trying to make their presence known?Let's explore the evidence, the eyewitness accounts, and the haunted history of this chilling location.Is the Fremantle Arts Centre truly haunted — or is it just the building's dark legacy playing tricks on our minds?Stay with us… if you dare.

You can even earn some of the highest yields in the industry—like the 7% or higher yield you can lock in with a Bond Account. Public is a FINRA-registered, SIPC-insured platform that takes your investments as seriously as you do. Fund your account in five minutes or less at public.com/venture and get up to $10,000 when you transfer your old portfolio.All investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal. Brokerage services for US-listed, registered securities, options and bonds in a self-directed account are offered by Public Investing, Inc., member FINRA & SIPC. Public Investing offers a High-Yield Cash Account where funds from this account are automatically deposited into partner banks where they earn interest and are eligible for FDIC insurance; Public Investing is not a bank. Cryptocurrency trading services are offered by Bakkt Crypto Solutions, LLC (NMLS ID 1890144), which is licensed to engage in virtual currency business activity by the NYSDFS. Cryptocurrency is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and has the potential for loss of the entire amount of an investment. Cryptocurrency holdings are not protected by the FDIC or SIPC.A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The 7%+ yield is the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of 5/15/2025. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond's YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. *Terms and Conditions apply.

Many architects dream of doing their own developments, but the fear of financial risk, inexperience with construction, and lack of support can stop them before they start. Becoming your client sounds empowering until you're staring down zoning codes, contractor bids, and bank meetings. In this episode, architect and developer Kevin Hittle shares how he bridged that gap. Kevin started as a laborer, became an architect, and eventually wore all three hats: architect, developer, and contractor. It's a story of sweat equity, smart deals, and building something both beautiful and profitable. You'll learn how one small project sparked a bigger vision—and how being deeply involved at every stage of the process changed the way he now designs for others. His practical insights offer a grounded, no-fluff view of what it really takes to make development work as a solo architect. And he's clear about the one piece of experience every architect should get. Listen to learn: How he built a $1.8M project with less than $30K in cash The rare zoning loophole that changed everything Why being “the maintenance guy” made him a better architect The unexpected thing he now regrets not upgrading To learn more about Kevin, visit his: Website:www.SSH-Arch.com Website: www.Havelock63.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinhittle/ ► Transcription: https://otter.ai/u/25wnoljq3RfvZdXwHEq_5Q_7Xxk?utm_source=copy_url ► Feedback?

If you hear her approach, run fast and be kind to others, for her wrath falls upon the cruel - and those who are unlucky enough to cross her path may find themselves torn in two, joining her in death. (The Terrifying Tale of Teke Teke) *** Strange occurrences took place in 1955 on a property near Mayanup, West Australia. Bill and Ethel Hack witnessed a series of inexplicable phenomena which Ethel meticulously recorded. From eerie whistling sounds and stones falling from the sky to strange lights and violent disturbances, Ethel's detailed written account reveals the chaos and fear that gripped their property, affecting both the Hacks and their aboriginal workers. Despite numerous investigations, the mystery of the Mayanup poltergeist remains unresolved, captivating paranormal enthusiasts and researchers to this day. (The Mayanup Australia Entity) *** In June 1977, Portuguese Air Force pilot Jose Francisco Rodrigues encountered a mysterious UFO over the Castelo de Bode Dam, leading to a near-fatal dive and unexplained aircraft malfunctions. Despite numerous witnesses and a thorough investigation, the incident remains an unsolved incident. (The 1977 Near Miss With a UFO In Portugal) *** Just three days after Christmas in 1978, Bob Young and his girlfriend Elizabeth Andes were preparing to move out of their shared apartment in Oxford, Ohio. When Bob returned to help with the final cleanup, he found their apartment dark and silent.

(The Shocking Unsolved Murder of Elizabeth Andes) *** Everybody has heard of teleportation, alien abductions and poltergeists, but without the pioneering work of Charles Fort, it's unlikely any of these phenomena would have entered public consciousness.

CHALLENGE SPECIAL is ON!
When you book a weekend cabin in the woods, you're usually expecting bad Wi-Fi, questionable furniture, and maybe a raccoon or two—not this. In today's story, what begins as a snowy getaway in Big Bear quickly turns into a psychological nightmare. Our narrator is surrounded by a crew of men who seem to know more than they're letting on, and the further into the weekend they go, the stranger they act. Then come the noises. Scraping on the roof. Scratching at the walls. And finally—at her door.

Episode 2964: Dr. Neal explains that recognizing the difference between sharp pain and normal muscle soreness is crucial for safe and effective weight training, especially as we age and naturally lose muscle mass. He reassures that some post-workout soreness is normal and explores the mixed evidence on muscle scraping techniques like the Graston Technique for relieving stiffness. Quotes to ponder: "Pain is dangerous. Discomfort is where you get better." "The bottom line with muscle scraping is that if it's not causing harm, and it seems to help, then go for it." "If you have access to weight machines, then you could try using those for those exercises that caused muscle pain." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sarah McKenna joins me to chat about all things web scraping. We discuss its applications, the evolution of alternative data, and AI's impact on the industry. We also discuss privacy concerns, the challenges of bot blocking, and the importance of data quality. Sarah shares ideas on how to get started with web scraping and the ethical considerations surrounding copyright and data collection.
Ransomware attacks targeting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have reached alarming levels, with a recent UK government survey revealing that 1% of organizations reported such incidents, affecting approximately 19,000 entities. This marks a significant increase from the previous year, highlighting a troubling trend where nation-state actors are increasingly focusing on SMBs due to their often inadequate cybersecurity measures. The survey also indicates a decline in board-level cybersecurity responsibility, with only 27% of businesses having a cyber specialist on their board, down from 38% four years ago. As the frequency of ransomware incidents decreases, the cost per incident is rising, emphasizing the need for resilience-focused security measures.In addition to ransomware, a vulnerability in Google's OAuth system has been exploited by phishers to create sophisticated attacks that mimic legitimate emails from Google. This DKIM replay phishing attack allows hackers to bypass security checks, making it difficult for users to detect scams. A notable case involved a developer receiving a fraudulent email that appeared to be a legitimate security alert. This incident underscores the importance of updating security awareness training, as traditional methods may not adequately prepare users for such advanced phishing techniques.Another significant security concern arose from a flaw in Gladinet's Centristack file-sharing platform, which allows remote code execution due to a deserialization issue linked to hard-coded cryptographic keys. This vulnerability has already been exploited in multiple cases, raising alarms within the cybersecurity community. Gladinet has advised customers to upgrade or change their keys to mitigate potential threats. Additionally, Microsoft acknowledged a flaw in its Intune device management tool that inadvertently allowed unauthorized Windows 11 upgrades, prompting organizations to revert affected devices.On a different note, Wikipedia has partnered with Kaggle to create a machine-readable dataset of its content for training AI models, addressing the challenges posed by content scraping. This initiative aims to manage the rising costs associated with non-human traffic while protecting contributors' rights under Creative Commons licensing. Meanwhile, concerns have emerged regarding the impact of AI on human intelligence, with studies indicating that reliance on AI tools may inhibit critical thinking skills, particularly among younger users. As organizations navigate the complexities of AI integration, the need for resilient systems that can adapt to these changes becomes increasingly critical.

What dental care practices are helpful and which are overly hyped? Is it a good idea to use oral exercise devices? What about tongue scraping and flossing? What should we look out for when it comes to toothpaste and mouthwash? Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, author of It's All in Your Mouth, highlights what is best for strong healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. He separates fact from fiction. He goes over how to cultivate a healthy oral microbiome and he also addresses the issue of "leaky gums". And he leaves us with three key questions to ask ourselves to help determine if our health concerns could be related to oral health. Visit Dr. Dominik's website: DrDomeOfficial.com Join the Weston A.
