Podcasts about smirks

TODAY on the show we started off by recapping a fight that we had last week on the show over the word of the day. We also got into some sports talk and took some phone calls. We got into our Days of the Week and received our Word of the Day. We talked about the upcoming 33 day Go Cleanse challenge and how Lex is gonna be participating. Terry finally revealed his top secret "Dog" shirt that he's been holding onto for some time. We got into some Sarah B Trending. We also did a few epic segments of Dee singing "White Rock." TOMORROW on the show we have SOCIAL MEDIA BEATDOWN.CLIP OF THE DAY:  Sarah's Jeep Got Stuck In A Car Wash & The Things These 8th Graders Said 2 Their Teacher 100:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,120Um, I got this uh, eighth grade teacher.200:00:03,120 --> 00:00:10,120She uh, I guess she cataloged a lot of the things that were said to her during the eighth grade school year, you know, we're in summer.300:00:10,120 --> 00:00:14,080I think pretty much maybe across the nation now we're in summer with everybody.400:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,520Some of the stuff these kids said to her.500:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,760I mean, it's brutal, it's funny, and then some of it makes no sense.600:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,080Alright, here we go.700:00:23,080 --> 00:00:30,320Things that my eighth graders have said to me, are you in therapy?800:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,320You seem like the type.900:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,320[Laughter]1000:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,320It's a good start.1100:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,320Why was it say that to somebody?1200:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,520Oh, God.1300:00:42,520 --> 00:00:50,800A student got the answer right and yelled, "Yah, I felt that one in my nuggets."1400:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,400[Laughter]1500:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,720I mean, Smirks, she has on her face like she really wants to laugh and that one.1600:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,080I'm so glad she's writing these down.1700:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,160Your pants look like trash bags sewn together.1800:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,920Ha ha, trash bag pants.1900:01:10,920 --> 00:01:20,720[Laughter]2000:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,120I don't get why you write so much on my rough draft.2100:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,560I'm not reading all that bra for real for real.2200:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,560[Laughter]2300:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,800She's got her shirt on.2400:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,040We are so screwed.

We were created with a purpose to bring pleasure to God. Scripture tells us that He delights in all He has made and finds joy when we walk closely with Him. This message explores what it means to truly live a life that pleases God. From believing in His Son, to being led by His Spirit, to walking in faith, obedience, and sacrificial worship each step draws us deeper into alignment with His heart. Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or you've been walking with Jesus for years, this teaching is a reminder that God's pleasure isn't found in performance but in relationship. Let this message inspire you to live with intentionality, knowing that your life can bring joy to the One who created you.

Smirks emerge quite quickly when you mention “role model” and “leaders” in the same breath.  Most peoples' experiences with leaders as role models have been that they encompass the “what not do as a leader” variety.  Hanmen Kyoshi (反面教師) or teacher by negative example, as we have noted in Japanese.  What are some of the things we should be focused on in our quest to become a real role model for our teams? We can break the role model aspect into four major areas: Self-Aware; Accountability; Others-Focused and Strategic.  Within these four categories, there are eleven sub-categories on which we are going to focus today.  Do a mental audit on yourself and see how many boxes you can check, acknowledging that you are doing a good job. 1.    Self-Aware covers a number of sub-categories: “Self-Directed”. Leaders have to give others direction, so they must be independent types who don't have to rely on others to know what to do.  They have to be “Self-Regulated” which is a fancy pants way of saying they need strong personal discipline.  The leader has to decide what needs to be done and then marshals everything needed to get the job done.  This effort has to be sustained over time and that is where the self-discipline aspect kicks in. “Develop Self” talks about taking 100% responsibility for one's own career.  Depending on others, or the company in general, to take care of your career is folly.  We need to represent value to an employer, because if we don't, then we will be replaced by someone who does.  The tricky thing about business is they keep moving the goalposts.  What was required when you started and what is required today may be quite different. Scarily different. I see so many senior leaders and friends sacked by the organisation, despite many years of loyal and successful service.  A new CEO arrives, a merger takes place or a new direction for the firm is set and the next thing you know, you are out.  If you have been pursuing your own personal growth, then there is a safety factor involved there to enable you to weather the storms.  If you have just been working hard, which is admirable, you are left tired and then on the street. “Confident” is a vague term, really.  What actually defines being “confident”.  We can recognise it more easily than we can articulate it.  A leader who has confidence speaks in a certain way, with gravitas, with a certain finality.  Hesitation never arises and the body language backs up the confident words. 2.    Accountability is another area with sub-categories: “Competent” describes our capability to understand the business and do the work.  Most people rise through the ranks, so they have done the jobs their staff are doing, so they know the content well.  Changing jobs and entering as a mid-career hire can sometimes make the competence piece a challenge, though.  We have to be a fast learner to build credibility. “Honesty and Integrity” are both problem sub-categories.  Honesty is easier to gauge than integrity.  We can see if you are honest and can measure it.  However, while everyone says how important integrity is, defining it is a challenging task.  Saying and doing what you say is a fundamental basis of demonstrating integrity, as is standing for higher ideals.  How do you actually behave when no one is watching?  3.    Others-Focused is a big sub-category and so not all aspects can be covered here, but we will focus on some key areas: “Inspiring” is in the eyes of the beholder, so as the boss, you have to create the environment where everyone can be inspired.  We need to uncover what the range of views on the subject are amongst the troops, to get an idea of how we need to appeal to everyone's individual needs.  This means making time to talk to people, rather than just barking out leader commands all day long. “Develops Others” means going beyond the managerial functions of everything done on time, to spec and to budget.  We have looked at this earlier. It means putting time into coaching staff and giving them stretch tasks through delegation.  Most people stay functionally at the manager level and never quite level up sufficiently to become a true leader.  Whose fault is that? I would argue it is their boss who has failed them.  The leader's job is to create other leaders, and every organisation is crying out for good leaders. “Positively Influences Others” is an all weather skill for leaders. Our grumpy mood, short temper, irritability can bring down the motivation of the team.  Also, speaking ill of other divisions or sections to knit our own team together, a weak leader favourite, makes the team doubt the robustness of the organisation. “Effectively Communicates” sounds reasonable, except most leaders are not very good at speaking in public.  They do not generate confidence in what they are saying by the unprofessional way in which they are saying it.  The solution is simplicity itself: we need to get the training to master this attribute. 4.  The last category we will cover here is Strategic. We will deal with just one sub-category “Uses Authority Appropriately”.  We are talking about using our position power for good, rather than self-aggrandisement.  Bossing people around to boost our own fragile ego and having the need for power over others is totally sad.  We are given power to help our people do better - that is the only reason.  So how was your self-audit?  We now have a framework to place around the term “role model” and we know where we have more work to do.  Always a good thing for a leader.

Luna's unexpected pardon left all, including a stunned Lieutenant Baker (Dan Martin), in utter disbelief. Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is suspected to have played a role in securing Luna's pardon. His unwavering support for Luna and his conspicuous absence from the room during the critical phone call has raised eyebrows.  Bold and Beautiful fans see that Finn (Tanner Novlan), Luna's biological father, cannot be ruled out. Finn's recent discovery of his paternity and his desire to be a part of Luna's life may have pushed him to secure Luna's freedom. Finn's father, Jack Finnegan (Ted King), a prominent criminal lawyer, may have been instrumental in Luna's pardon. B&B writers have also left room for speculation about Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) who may seek revenge on Luna.   Visit our Bold and the Beautiful section of Soap Dirt: https://soapdirt.com/category/bold-and-the-beautiful/ Listen to our Podcasts: https://soapdirt.podbean.com/ Check out our always up-to-date Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers page at: https://soapdirt.com/bold-and-the-beautiful-spoilers/ Check Out our Social Media...

According to the Black-Scholes Model, option contracts with the same underlying and duration should have the same implied volatility across strikes. However, since the market values each contract differently, a volatility smile often appears. The volatility smile of an underlying gives traders an idea of the perceived value of its options, and can be a powerful tool for short premium traders.

Studies show people who smile more tend to live longer than those who don't.  It seems the simple act of smiling causes a positive emotional state in a person!  Of course, smiling can have a positive effect on those around you as well.   It has been shown that waiters and waitresses who smile generate larger tips, especially if there's a little huzzlecoo, or flirting thrown in!    Fake smiles are 10 times bigger than genuine smiles, because they're meant to be seen!   The  TV news anchor who wishes you “Good evening”  and then proceeds to tell you why it isn't, is a good example of a person feigning a smile.  What's a word for someone who fakes a smile?  An eccedentesiast!  Women generally smile more than men.  Apparently, the smile muscle, or the zygomaticus major, is thicker in gals than in guys. However, it's unclear whether females are born with a bigger smile muscle, or if it just bulks up from more exercise.

Original spoken word poetry about gender dysphoria and growing up in the 1970s. 1976 NANCY BOY Smoke. Industrial smoke. Chimney smoke. Thick smoke from un-serviced motor cars. Smoke from life-long chain smokers, roll ups, Cigarettes of a thousand brands, Filled with rubbish shared by dirty hands. Rubbish in filthy streets piled so high, Swarms of houseflies don't have to try. And bile, darned socks, and untied laces, String-tied shorts, hand-me-down unwashed shirts, Kicking cans with dirty washed faces. Laughing at a dying cat, trampled, kicked, Not even left to scream its last breath. Furless tail, passed round, a party piece. Tossed like trash into the old canal, Stones and sticks, a welcome grasp below. Finding splice amongst shopping trolleys. The wail of sirens pierces laughter. The merry group, off to school, to learn, Of things, their brief lives, will never use. The furnace awaits, smoke and fumes. Cheap cigarettes at the school gates, Under the headmaster's watching eye. Cane in hand, face or hands, he doesn't mind. Teachers leave the quiet kid alone, Circled by captors standing on thrones. Taunting the Nancy boy, he submits. Bruised, crying, the shrieking school bell sounds, And he, accepts his fate, floating down. Beyond hope, into the dumbed down depths, Holding breath, in the classroom canal. Finding splice with dead bugs in his desk. It is better than the place called home. A painful whack wakes the escape. Smirks, and pain, and taunts, his classroom friends. A Nancy boys life, so she must wait, and hold her breath.

Regular readers of our publications will be aware of our interest in the “USD smirk” framework, which is a slight tweak on the traditional “USD smile”. The smile describes how the USD usually outperforms in a risk-off environment – when there is a shortage of global USD liquidity – or when US growth outpaces the rest of the world and US yields rise. We believe the USD ‘smirk' is increasingly relevant today, supporting our view of USD weakness in the coming 12 months.Speaker: DJ Cheong, Investment Strategist, Standard Chartered Bank

Our grumpy mood can bring down the motivation of the team.  Also speaking ill of other divisions or sections to knit your own team together, makes the team doubt the robustness of the organization.   “Effectively Communicates” sounds reasonable, except most new leaders are not very good at speaking in public.  They do not generate confidence in what they are saying by the unprofessional way they are saying it.  We need to get the training and master this attribute.   The last category we will cover here is Strategic.   We will deal with just one sub-category “Uses Authority Appropriately”.  We are talking about using our position power for good, rather than self-aggrandisement.  Bossing people around to boost our own fragile ego and having the need for power over others is totally sad.  We are given power to help our people do better and that is the only reason.   So how was your self audit?  We now have a framework to place around the term “role model” and we know where we have more work to do.  Always a good thing for a leader.

I talk about "the white man", the "can't ever be racist" brown, black and east asian men and above all, comedic error of it all! Don't I love controversy :) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/literallyunedited/message

Wherein we meet Travis Burke as he encounters someone with an uncanny resemblance to himself, oh there are slight differences, and at first, it's just strange to him, but as time goes on these similarities enrage him, as he becomes more and more certain that this person, this poor copy, is nothing but a cheap "Knock-off". Then we are introduced to Mr. Dennell, as he recounts his investigation, and subsequent terrible encounter with, "The Grinning Man".
