Given Westpac played what I would loosely call a dumb game this week with numbers, let me return serve. Their numbers involved a bunch of what they call "necessities" and their prices over the past ten years. White bread is up 120% and butter up 157%. Chicken though is only up 2%. So, if you ate a lot of chicken, not only would you be protein rich, you would have saved a fortune. The CPI is up in that period 38%. Their argument is that this is why we are miserable; everything appears so expensive. Not everything is, but if you eat a lot of white bread and butter, obviously without the chicken, you are arguing it's a cost-of-living crisis. By the way, here are my numbers: while the CPI is 38%, hourly wages are up 53%. Now that dovetails into what we saw just last week with the food price inflation for the year at 1.9%. Our wages have in fact gone up more than that, so in other words, food is getting more affordable. It's a statistical fact – food is more affordable this year than last year. If you spread it out over 10 years at 53% versus 38%, things are way more affordable. We are actually getting ahead. See what you can do with numbers? Which has been my argument throughout this cluster of numbers, and misery, and point scoring, and finger pointing. If you want to be miserable and find something that is wrong, or broken, or too expensive, you can. But equally —glass half-full— if you want to find gain, or benefit, or advancement, you can as well. That choice is yours. For dairy and meat, we can explain the price gains: they are international. For olive oil, it's a Spanish drought, for coffee it's a disease, for your council rates its half-wits with no clue. But if you aren't prepared to avoid things that appear too much, then that's on you. After all, what really is a necessity at the supermarket? What is a "must have" versus a "nice to have"? Is white bread really so good that it's worth getting exercised over? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When will people be held accountable for what we had to endure during the Biden regime? Republicans are letting this opportunity slip through their fingers. People like former special counsel Jack Smith need to face justice for weaponizing the justice system. If Democrats regain power in the midterms, they'll waste no time getting back to their old tricks. But they also revealed their endgame: to flood the country with foreigners to replace Americans. Brad is a jobless, white, 20-year-old man who lives off of welfare and your money … that doesn't sound right, because statistically it's not. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) put out a campaign video depicting this Brad, and the backlash is bringing up facts she wasn't ready for. I thought we were past this woke nonsense of not being able to portray any person of color in a negative light ... even if the statistics back it up. Statistics don't lie, and facts aren't racist. It just doesn't seem like the Lindsay Clancy trial will ever end. Her attorney Kevin Reddington has been vilifying the holdout juror since the mistrial. He has attempted to make the juror seem like the criminal for “obstructing the law.” But now we have heard from the juror for the first time: Michael Desronvil had made a statement redirecting the focus off himself and toward remembering the three children who were slaughtered. Shady forces are at play in the midterm elections. Texans for Lawsuit Reform has been working against Ken Paxton while calling itself bipartisan. The group has donated millions to Texas Democrats. Why would an organization claiming to advance conservative ideas in Texas be undermining its state's Republican nominee? If James "six-genders" Talarico claims the senate seat in Texas, I think we know who to blame.  ► Watch my newest H-1B investigation here:https://youtu.be/zL7JuOk4nBQ ► Watch my original video featuring Nagarjuna: https://youtu.be/2vVn35456P4?si=WKMmZdkhJpMTquyh ► Catch up on all my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area.  ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1   ► Home Title Lock Go to https://hometitlelock.com/sara and use promo code SARA to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

As we prepare for upcoming events and conferences, and to powerfully closed out 2026  we are replaying a special episode about how AI training simulators can deliver hyper-personalized learning and development to support your organization's growth initiatives.  What if you could step into a high-stakes sales conversation, test your instincts, refine your message, and even “clone” your best leadership coaching moments—without ever risking a real deal? Let's explore how AI-powered roleplay simulations are redefining sales enablement, giving leaders a scalable way to coach, develop, and empower their teams. At a time when pipeline management, forecasting, hiring, and customer demands are all competing for attention, the traditional coaching model is breaking under pressure. AI roleplay offers a new path forward—one that reduces overwhelm, removes coaching bottlenecks, and enables consistent, high-impact development across every rep on the team. Key Highlights: How AI roleplay eliminates the coaching bottleneck and scales leadership impact. Why simulation-based learning drives faster onboarding, higher retention, and stronger confidence. The connection between AI enablement and revenue acceleration—not just training efficiency. How “failing safely” in simulations leads to better real-world sales conversations. Why consistency in coaching is critical for maintaining authenticity and driving results.   Embrace AI roleplay as a revenue operations strategy, and ensure your teams aren't improvising—but are fully prepared to win.

Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams speaks with Caroline Heldman, PhD, about the power of media to shape cultural change and the political imagination. They explore how television, streaming, film, advertising, social media, and AI influence who audiences see as leaders, experts, protagonists, and decision-makers.Heldman explains her work developing "The Scully Effect" as it related to representation of women in STEM fields. Further, she stresses the importance of both quantitative and qualitative representation, the impact of inclusive storytelling on career aspirations, and continuing gaps affecting women, people of colour, LGBTQIA+ people and those of differing physical abilities and size.Resources noted:The Geena Davis Institute for Gender in Media — Research and practical resources for representation in entertainment and advertising, including the “Be It, See It” message. https://geenadavisinstitute.org/Stacy Smith at USC — Professor and Founder of the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative https://an nenberg.usc.edu/faculty/stacy-l-smithDr. Martha Lauzen at SDSU — Media representation research.Common Sense Media — Media research and guidance for families and educators. https://about.commonsensemedia.org/Caroline Heldman's forthcoming book — The Presidential Gender Penalty: From Victoria Woodhull to Kamala Harris. https://www.bloomsbury.com/ca/presidential-gender-penalty-9798216392248/Advanced TV Herstory episodes mentioned:1.10 (2015) Hill Street Blues' Davenport & Bates https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/1c37565a-dcb6-4b5a-833c-a877c306c407.mp3CONNECT WITH CYNTHIA and ADVANCED TV HERSTORYMonthly Newsletter - https://cynthiabemisabrams.com/Website - https://cynthiabemisabrams.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/advancedtvherstory/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@advancedtvherstoryLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cynthia-bemis-abrams-5046573/PRODUCTIONPodcast Editing - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariloumarosz/Video Editing - https://nivialopez.com/Music by Jahzzar - https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jahzzar/TIMESTAMPS[00:37] Introduction: Caroline Heldman, PhD[03:47] Representation of women, girls, and others[06:17] The Scully Effect[09:34] Research and resources on inclusivity in media[11:43] Quantity and quality of representation[14:12] Representation of race[16:43] The impact of AI and social media[21:51] Statistics on porn and AI[27:11] Federal and state legislation[30:06] Change, social movements, and double standards[33:40] A backlash to progress[36:02] Influential TV women[38:49] Upcoming book: Presidential Gender Penalty

How can we make statistics meaningful to someone who does not work with it every day? I talk with Steve Mallett about his work with the PSI Schools team and the lessons it offers for training colleagues in pharma. We explore how hands-on activities, interactive data visualization, and a clear understanding of the audience can help people connect statistical concepts to patients and speak about results with greater confidence.

It's the day before the pain boards, so Dr. David Rosenblum skipped the Zoom and recorded a rapid-fire, last-minute review of the high-yield keywords and "board traps" most likely to show up on the ABA Pain Medicine exam. Listen on your commute or at the gym. High-yield topics covered Neonatal pain: A-delta and C fibers and ascending pathways work before birth, but descending inhibition is immature, so neonatal pain may be exaggerated or prolonged. Board trap: incomplete myelination does not mean neonates can't feel pain. Dorsal horn anatomy: Rexed laminae I, II and V. Lamina II is the substantia gelatinosa. Peripheral vs. central sensitization: the "inflammatory soup" (prostaglandins, bradykinin, H+, ATP, histamine, serotonin, cytokines, NGF) causes primary hyperalgesia. NMDA activation, wind-up and expanded receptive fields cause secondary hyperalgesia and allodynia. Superficial cervical plexus (C2–C4): lesser occipital, great auricular, transverse cervical and supraclavicular nerves. Blocked behind the SCM, and useful for clavicle pain. Eagle syndrome: an elongated styloid process irritating the glossopharyngeal nerve. Pain scales: NIPS, CRIES, FLACC and modified FLACC, Wong-Baker FACES, FPS-R, NRS, VAS and PROMIS-10 Global Health. Statistics: sensitivity and specificity don't depend on prevalence, but PPV and NPV do. Type I error is a false positive (α = 0.05) and Type II error is a false negative. Acetaminophen toxicity: use the Rumack-Matthew nomogram at 4 hours or later (acute single ingestion only). N-acetylcysteine is the antidote. Buprenorphine: a high-affinity partial mu agonist and kappa antagonist, with a ceiling effect on respiratory depression. Drug toxicities: carbamazepine (SIADH, SJS with HLA-B*1502, CYP3A4 induction), methotrexate (leucovorin rescue), hydroxychloroquine (retina), TNF-α inhibitors (TB reactivation), JAK inhibitors (boxed warning for MACE, thrombosis, malignancy), NSAIDs, SSRIs/SNRIs and tramadol (hyponatremia). Muscle relaxants: baclofen, tizanidine, cyclobenzaprine, methocarbamol, metaxalone, carisoprodol (meprobamate), chlorzoxazone, dantrolene, diazepam and botulinum toxin (cleaves SNARE proteins). Upcoming events Coming up: the NY/NJ Pain Congress in November and the Latin American Pain Society meeting next year. Hands-on NRAP ultrasound courses in New York are coming up in October and November. See the calendar at nrappain.org. Taking the boards next year?

You've followed the strategy to the letter and still didn't get the result you wanted, and this episode is about why that happens. I start with something unexpected that happened to me this week, a volunteer shift in a local bookstore that looked nothing like the version of "working in a bookstore" I'd been picturing for the last twenty years, and use it to talk about staying open to unexpected opportunities in business even when they don't match the picture in your head. Pinching yourself off from something just because it looks different can cost you more than you realise. Then I get into why business goals need a clear purpose behind them, not just a number, and how mindset vs strategy in private practice plays out with the women I mentor, including one who turned over nearly $200,000 in her first 12 months because her goal had a reason strong enough to keep her going when it got hard. I walk you through how to set goals for your private practice, why tracking KPIs in private practice is non-negotiable if you want to hit them, why self-accountability in private practice is on you and no one else, and why private practice goals Australia-wide get derailed by the same handful of mindset blocks, whatever your specialty. If you've ever wondered how long it takes to build a profitable private practice, I share the Australian Bureau of Statistics figure that might change how you're measuring your own progress. This one's for anyone thinking about how to grow a private practice in Australia and wondering why the goal alone isn't enough. Mentioned in this episode: my Claude for Therapists community (https://www.skool.com/brooklyn/about) and the 90 Day Sprint (https://brooklynstorme.com/group-programs), with three places left this round. Keywords used: staying open to unexpected opportunities in business, why business goals need a clear purpose, mindset vs strategy in private practice, how to set goals for your private practice, tracking KPIs in private practice, self-accountability in private practice, private practice goals Australia, how long does it take to build a profitable private practice, how to grow a private practice in Australia, private practice business mentor Australia Mini FAQ: Q: How long does it take for a private practice to become profitable? A: The Australian Bureau of Statistics puts it at 24 to 36 months, so if you're three months into a 90-day sprint wondering why your diary isn't full, that's not a fair way to measure your progress. Q: Why do private practice owners resist setting a goal? A: Usually it comes down to fear of success, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, or not having found a planning system that works with how your brain operates. Q: What makes a business goal work? A: A reason behind it strong enough to keep you motivated when things get hard, not just a number that sounds good on paper. Q: Should I say yes to opportunities outside my usual niche? A: I say yes within reason. I once said yes to webinars for chiropractors and optometrists that led to more clients, income and standing than I expected from staying in my own lane. Q: Is it strategy or mindset that gets private practice owners results? A: Mindset, most of the time. I can give the same strategy to ten different people and get ten different results depending on what's going on in their head and their heart.

Research on how to collect more tax in developing countries has focused on how information, especially administrative data, can help. But in Uganda for example, buyers and sellers report different amounts for the same VAT transaction in 79% of cases. The invoices exist ... but nobody in the tax administration is comparing them.In this week's VoxDev Talk Anders Jensen (Harvard Kennedy School) and Jonathan Weigel (UC Berkeley) argue that information needs an administration that is able to use it. They have examined the research evidence on how tax authorities are organised, who they hire, where they send their staff, and how much freedom those officials get. To maximise revenues they find that many of Max Weber's century-old rules for how to run a bureaucracy still apply, but others often need to bend a little. The research behind this episode:Jensen, Anders, and Jonathan L. Weigel. 2026. "No Taxation without Administration: Bringing the State Back into the Public Finance of Developing Countries." Journal of Economic Literature 64 (1): 246-280. The working paper version is available as NBER Working Paper 34729.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Jonathan Weigel, and Anders Jensen. 2026. "No Taxation without Administration." VoxDev Talks (podcast).About the guestsAnders Jensen is Associate Professor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and research co-director of the State programme at the International Growth Centre. His research spans the rise of modern tax systems, informality and consumption taxes, and how governments with limited capacity can improve tax administration and enforcement. He works with governments in Ghana, Zambia, Liberia and Brazil.Jonathan Weigel is Assistant Professor of Business and Public Policy at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research spans state capacity, taxation, corruption, and the links between religion and institutions. His fieldwork is based mainly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he runs the research organisation ODEKA.Research cited in this episodeNo taxation without information. Dina Pomeranz's study of Chile's value-added tax showed how the paper trail between firms helps to enforce the tax; each firm has a reason to demand an invoice from its supplier, and the tax authority can use those invoices to detect evasion. Pomeranz, Dina. 2015. "No Taxation without Information: Deterrence and Self-Enforcement in the Value Added Tax." American Economic Review 105 (8): 2539-2569.Third-party reporting in Denmark. Henrik Kleven and co-authors ran a randomised tax audit experiment in Denmark. Evasion was close to zero on income that employers and banks report to the tax authority, and substantial on income that taxpayers report themselves. Kleven, Henrik Jacobsen, Martin B. Knudsen, Claus Thustrup Kreiner, Soren Pedersen, and Emmanuel Saez. 2011. "Unwilling or Unable to Cheat? Evidence from a Tax Audit Experiment in Denmark." Econometrica 79 (3): 651-692.Missing transactions in Uganda. The 79% figure comes from VAT reports in Uganda, where sellers and buyers declare different amounts for the same transactions. The gap suggests that the tax authority does not systematically cross-check the reports, or that firms act as if it does not. Almunia, Miguel, Jonas Hjort, Justine Knebelmann, and Lin Tian. 2024. "Strategic or Confused Firms? Evidence from 'Missing' Transactions in Uganda." Review of Economics and Statistics 106 (1): 256-265.The US tax gap. Even a high-capacity administration struggles without third-party data. For tax years 2014 to 2016, the Internal Revenue Service estimated that 55% of income subject to little or no information reporting, such as sole proprietor income, was misreported, compared with 1% of wages and salaries. Internal Revenue Service. 2022. Tax Gap Estimates for Tax Years 2014-2016. Publication 5364. Washington, DC: IRS."In developing countries, tax administration is tax policy." The paper's epigraph comes from Milka Casanegra de Jantscher, who co-edited an IMF volume on tax administration with Richard Bird. The line sums up an older policy consensus that building the tax authority matters more than setting the right rates. Bird, Richard M., and Milka Casanegra de Jantscher, eds. 1992. Improving Tax Administration in Developing Countries. Washington, DC: International Monetary Fund.Weber's ideal bureaucracy. Max Weber described a "rational" bureaucracy with a single chain of command, specialised departments, recruitment by examination, promotion by seniority and decisions governed by rules rather than discretion. Jensen and Weigel use his categories to organise the evidence, and show how developing countries adapt them to local conditions. Weber, Max. 1978 (first published 1921). Economy and Society: An Outline of Interpretive Sociology. Berkeley: University of California Press.The sinews of power. The phrase comes from John Brewer's history of the British state, which credits a professional, specialised Excise Office with raising the revenue that paid for Britain's 18th-century wars. Brewer, John. 1990. The Sinews of Power: War, Money, and the English State, 1688-1783. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.Medium taxpayer offices in Indonesia. Indonesia created dedicated offices for medium-sized corporate taxpayers, which sharply cut the number of taxpayers per auditor. Revenue from the firms in these offices rose by 64% in the short term and by 128% after six years. Basri, M. Chatib, Mayara Felix, Rema Hanna, and Benjamin A. Olken. 2021. "Tax Administration vs. Tax Rates: Evidence from Corporate Taxation in Indonesia." American Economic Review 111 (12): 3827-3871.Transfer mispricing and the arm's length principle. Multinationals can shift profits by setting the prices of transactions between their own subsidiaries. Tax authorities test these prices against the arm's length principle, which asks what unrelated firms would have charged each other. Staff in large taxpayer offices must learn to apply it; staff who deal with small firms never need to.The Pendleton Act. The US Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 introduced competitive examinations for federal jobs, to limit patronage appointments. Abhay Aneja and Guo Xu find that the reform improved public sector performance. Aneja, Abhay, and Guo Xu. 2024. "Strengthening State Capacity: Civil Service Reform and Public Sector Performance during the Gilded Age." American Economic Review 114 (8): 2352-2387.City chiefs as tax collectors. In Kananga, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, neighbourhoods were randomly assigned to property tax collection by state agents or by local city chiefs. Chiefs raised revenue by more than 40%, mainly because they knew which households were more willing to pay. Balan, Pablo, Augustin Bergeron, Gabriel Tourek, and Jonathan L. Weigel. 2022. "Local Elites as State Capacity: How City Chiefs Use Local Information to Increase Tax Compliance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo." American Economic Review 112 (3): 762-797.Assigning tax collectors. The same tax campaign randomly assigned collectors to teams and to neighbourhoods. Simulations suggest that pairing the best collectors together, and sending them to the neighbourhoods with the highest revenue potential, would raise compliance by 37% compared with random assignment. Weigel, Jonathan, Pedro Bessone, Augustin Bergeron, Gabriel Tourek, and John Kabeya Kabeya. 2025. "Supermodular Bureaucrats: Experimental Evidence from the DRC." American Economic Review.Discretion, technology and bribes. In Ghana, property tax collectors equipped with tablets and digital maps spent less time finding properties and more time deciding whom to revisit; collections rose by 103% relative to the control group. In Tajikistan, electronic filing removed face-to-face contact with inspectors, and firms at high risk of evasion paid more tax, probably because they could no longer bribe the inspector. Dzansi, James, Anders Jensen, David Lagakos, and Henry Telli. 2023. "Technology and Tax Capacity: Evidence from Local Governments in Ghana." NBER Working Paper 29923. Okunogbe, Oyebola, and Victor Pouliquen. 2022. "Technology, Taxation, and Corruption: Evidence from the Introduction of Electronic Tax Filing." American Economic Journal: Economic Policy 14 (1): 341-372.Public goods and tax compliance. Several studies test whether a government can persuade citizens to pay more tax by providing public goods first. In Acayucan, a small city in Mexico, randomised street paving raised property tax compliance. Programmes in Mexico City, Pakistan and Freetown, Sierra Leone, found small or mixed effects. Fernandez, Manuel, Marco Gonzalez-Navarro, and Climent Quintana-Domeque. 2025. "Local Public Goods and Property Tax Compliance: Evidence from Residential Street Pavement." Working paper. Khan, Adnan Q., Asim I. Khwaja, Benjamin A. Olken, and Mahvish Shaukat. 2023. "Strengthening the Social Compact: Experimental Evidence from Pakistan." Working paper.The demand-driven social contract. Douglass North and Barry Weingast argued that 17th-century English taxpayers agreed to pay more tax in exchange for a greater say in government. In Kananga, citizens in neighbourhoods assigned to door-to-door property tax collection became more likely to attend town hall meetings and to evaluate government performance. North, Douglass C., and Barry R. Weingast. 1989. "Constitutions and Commitment: The Evolution of Institutions Governing Public Choice in Seventeenth-Century England." Journal of Economic History 49 (4): 803-832. Weigel, Jonathan L. 2020. "The Participation Dividend of Taxation: How Citizens in Congo Engage More with the State When It Tries to Tax Them." Quarterly Journal of Economics 135 (4): 1849-1903.Procedural justice. Citizens are more likely to accept a state's right to tax when its officials apply the law in a fair, predictable and equal way, rather than arbitrarily or on the basis of personal connections. Margaret Levi and co-authors treat procedural justice as one of the main sources of legitimacy. Levi, Margaret, Audrey Sacks, and Tom Tyler. 2009. "Conceptualizing Legitimacy, Measuring Legitimating Beliefs." American Behavioral Scientist 53 (3): 354-375.China's administrative model. Wei Cui, a law professor at the University of British Columbia, describes a Chinese tax system that relies less on taxpayer declarations and more on large numbers of decentralised officials who manage individual taxpayers. China has as many local tax offices as post offices, and collects about 20% of GDP in tax. Cui, Wei. 2022. The Administrative Foundations of the Chinese Fiscal State.

From the incredible scenes in San Sebastián to the frustration of a narrow defeat against Liverpool, this is a proper tale of two sides to AFC Bournemouth's season so far, but even within games, we're seeing a startling statistic, as, after five Premier League games, Bournemouth's first-half performances would put them top of the Premier League table. We look back on a historic first-ever Europa League victory over Real Sociedad, the incredible atmosphere created by thousands of travelling Cherries, the fan march, the celebrations and the unforgettable experience of Bournemouth finally taking their place on the European stage. But then came the return to Premier League reality. Bournemouth pushed Liverpool hard but ultimately suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat, leaving Marco Rose's side still searching for their first league win of the season. We discuss the team's performances, substitutions, squad depth and the growing questions surrounding second-half intensity and in-game management. Is there a problem with energy levels? Are substitutions coming too late? Is Marco Rose still learning which players he can trust? Or is this simply a five-game anomaly that will correct itself? European history has been made. Now Bournemouth need to make sure the Premier League doesn't become the unwanted distraction. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.

Mamdani just sued the Trump administration over green cards and welfare — and he said people could die if the rule stands. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, with Letitia James and a stack of blue-city mayors, is in federal court to block the public charge rule. Starting now, immigration officers can weigh SNAP, Medicaid, and other benefits when deciding who gets a green card. The administration's point is simple and old: People coming here should be able to support themselves. Mamdani's point is the opposite. He says up to four million people could unenroll from health coverage — including 1.8 million children — and that premature deaths in New York immigrant communities could jump. He called the rule vague, cruel, and a century of law thrown out.

Ready for some stats?Statistics indicate that most people live at least 75 years. That life expectancy equals 900 https://www.traillifeusa.com/raisinggodlyboysmonths or 27,394 days. But statistics are only an average. Some people live longer. Others shorter. Even though this is a sobering thought, Psalm 90:12 reminds us, “to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”When we understand that life is short and unpredictable, we shift our focus from the temporary to the eternal. And in doing so, we recognize the God-given responsibility of training our sons to become godly men. Even though parenting is filled with challenges, be intentional in using your days wisely. As you commit yourself to this vital task, the Lord will provide you strength from day to day. For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Statistics prove it. The flash takeover of the Democrat Party by the socialists is complete. So what happens when that clashes with American voters's habit of voting for one party to punish the other?

When reporters cover mass shootings news outlets often struggle to find ways to cover the event that won't inspire others to do the same thing. Something similar follows in the wake of a suicide. Journalists don't always cover suicides in their communities but when they do one of the concerns is whether that coverage might lead to a spike in suicides after the story is out. The media's influence on the actions of individuals is a chronic concern for researchers in a number of fields and is a focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Joel Greenhouse Joel B. Greenhouse, Ph.D., is Professor of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University, and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh. He is an elected Fellow of the American Statistical Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an elected Member of the International Statistical Institute.

What does it take to change the trajectory of a young man's life? In this powerful episode of Black Men Speak, we sit down with Lewis Spears, founder and executive director of Kismet of Kings, to discuss his remarkable journey from the Booker T. Washington Housing Projects in Jersey City to earning a degree from Harvard—and why he chose to return home to invest in the next generation. Lewis shares how mentorship, education, and intentional leadership have become the foundation of Kismet of Kings, an organization dedicated to empowering young Black men to become confident leaders, entrepreneurs, scholars, and community changemakers. Together, we explore the importance of breaking generational cycles, redefining success, and creating spaces where Black boys are seen, challenged, and celebrated.

Stories are more powerful than statistics when it comes to communication and influence. People remember meaning, emotion, and context far longer than they remember numbers, which is why a compelling story can make an idea stick. But the strongest communicators know that stories and statistics work best together. Use the story to make your point memorable, then use the data to prove it. Show Notes: [04:41]#1 Stories create meaning. [08:12]#2 Statistics require interpretation. [12:56]#3 The best communicators use both.

From reeling in giant fish and hunting alligators with sonar to have you heard about Gen Z bringing helicopter parents to job interviews? Plus I share an incredibly easy breakfast recipe for home or while at hunting camp. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Reeling in the Biggins: Fish & Alligator Adventures Father Lands West Virginia Record Catfish While Fishing With His Son A West Virginia father was hoping to catch a small catfish for his 4-year-old son to reel in. Instead, he landed a 72.75-pound blue catfish and set a new state record. Tyler Harmon was fishing the Ohio River near Ravenswood with his young son, Walker, and his own father, Rodney. The three generations had been using cut creek chub minnows when one of their rods suddenly bent. Tyler quickly realized he had hooked a very large fish. He battled it for about 20 minutes, trying to keep his 40-pound line away from underwater brush and the boat's anchor line. When the fish finally reached the boat, young Walker thought his dad had caught a big shark. Tyler's father helped net the fish, and they pulled it aboard. The family suspected it could be a state record, so they took the fish to a nearby bait shop and kept it alive in an aerated tank overnight. The next day, a West Virginia fisheries biologist officially weighed and measured it. The blue catfish weighed 72.75 pounds, measured nearly 48 inches long, and had a girth of 33.5 inches. That was enough to break the previous West Virginia catch-and-release record of 71 pounds. After the official weigh-in, Tyler released the giant catfish back into the Ohio River near where it was caught. And Walker now knows that what looked like a shark was actually a new state-record catfish. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/west-viriginia-record-blue-catfish/ High-School Angler Helps Find 11-Foot “Cannibal” Gator A Mississippi high-school bass fisherman used his fishing skills — and forward-facing sonar — to help his family locate two alligators during a recent hunt.  Sixteen-year-old Tatum Ceckahrulli, a junior at St. Martin High School, has used sonar for years while fishing. His family decided to try the technology to locate alligators in the Pascagoula River area of south Mississippi. On the first night, the family used sonar to find a nearly seven-foot gator. They snagged it and brought it back to shore to process the meat. The next night, they were looking for something bigger. While traveling through a bayou, Tatum and the group saw a huge splash. They soon realized a large alligator had killed and was feeding on another gator about seven feet long. The hunters waited for the big alligator to surface. After one failed attempt, Tatum hooked it again. The group eventually secured the animal with heavy tackle and a snare. The alligator turned out to be about 11 feet long. Getting it into their 17-foot boat was a challenge, and the normally 15-minute trip back to the ramp took about an hour because of the extra weight. Tatum believes the large gator was old and in poor condition. It had very few teeth and was extremely thin — possibly explaining why it attacked and ate the smaller alligator. The meat from both animals was processed and shared with family and friends.

How about if this trend affects those entering the job market for the first time? Helicopter Parenting Takes a New Turn According to News Nation, career experts say more young adults are turning to their parents for help navigating a difficult job market — in some cases, even bringing Mom or Dad along to job interviews. Career coach Sarah Johnston says parents have shown up at job fairs, contacted recruiters on behalf of their children and, occasionally, tried to intervene after a child was dismissed from a job. A survey by resume service Zety found that one in five Gen Z job seekers had a parent attend a job interview with them. Experts say the trend has grown since the pandemic. Johnston says many parents may be stepping in because today's job market is very different from the one they experienced. Young workers face longer job searches, layoffs and new pressures from artificial intelligence and social media. For employers, Johnston recommends keeping the focus on the job candidate. If a parent shows up or calls on behalf of their adult child, hiring managers should politely redirect the conversation to the candidate. She says that while the behavior can seem excessive, many parents are simply trying to help their children succeed in a challenging job market.  Statistics: 20% (Zety Survey): A study of over 1,000 Gen Z workers found that 20% had a parent actually join a job interview—15% in person and 5% virtually.  Parental overinvolvement often extends past the interview room itself, Fox News: 63% of parents have submitted job applications for their children. 53% to 54% have emailed or called hiring managers directly. 21% of candidates had a parent contact a recruiter directly on their behalf. 10% had a parent negotiate a job offer. How do Hiring Managers feel or think when a parent is involved, according to Forbes? The moment a parent shows up, the panel stops assessing the candidate and instead starts asking something entirely different. “How could this person ever meet with a client alone, run a meeting, or take feedback without backup?” Forbes also reported, helicopter parenting is linked to higher anxiety and depression in emerging adults, alongside weaker self-regulation and lower belief in their own capability.

Now What? The Easiest Breakfast Recipe You'll Ever Make A Quick Breakfast Anyone Can Make: Simple Ingredients, Big Breakfast Flavor EASY RECIPE: Caramel Rolls Meets Monkey Bread BEC's Carmel Roll Monkey Bread Instructions and Ingredients Preheat Oven to 350℉. Use a 9x13” baking dish or tin foil pan (my preference). Grease a baking dish or pan well with Non-Stick Cooking Spray. Ingredients: 2 Cans of Pillsbury Flaky Grands Biscuits. 1 Cup of Flavored Coffee Creamer (Substitute: Vanilla Ice Cream) 1 Cup of Brown Sugar 1 Cup of White Sugar 1 Cup of Butter 1 Tsp Vanilla *********************** ½ Cup Sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon   In a pot on Medium Heat melt the butter, stirring frequently while adding in the Brown and White Sugar, Vanilla. The combination should melt together nicely, then add the  Flavored Coffee Creamer (or vanilla ice cream.) Once bubbling, set the pot off to the side to cool. Take the 2 cans of biscuits. Open and pull apart each biscuit, then peel them apart into equal halves. Cut these circles of dough into four (4) pieces. In a large bowl with a lid cover add the cut flour dough pieces, sprinkle the ½ cup sugar and 2 TBSP of Cinnamon. Place the lid securely on the bowl and SHAKE, TOSS, and Shake. The dough pieces should all be equally coated in the cinnamon/sugar mix, if sticking together - break apart and repeat placing the lid and toss, shake again. Take the pot of Carmel, pour ⅓ into the bottom of the well greased dish or pan. Spread until the whole bottom is covered. Then take the coated dough pieces and cover the bottom of the pan with the dough. Pour the remaining Carmel Sauces over the top of the dough. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes at 350℉, checking frequently after 25 minutes so as not to burn. Take out of the oven once the tops are starting to turn dark brown. While cooling, take a ¼ cup of butter and cut thin slices, placing on top to melt - spreading the melted butter around the whole top. ENJOY!! Pull apart caramel rolls anyone can make! One last note - I use Caramel Macchiato creamer, however use your favorite. Pumpkin Spice creamer, Hazelnut Creamer, or Pecan and toss in some chopped Pecans. Yum Yum!

It's Wednesday, September 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark No Christian refugees have been granted asylum in America The United States has not admitted any Christian refugees fleeing persecution over the last year. That's down from over 18,000 Christian refugees admitted in 2017, according to a report from Open Doors and World Relief.  Compared to his first administration, the second Trump administration has deprioritized refugee resettlement for people suffering religious persecution.  World Relief created a petition which we have linked in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com. The petition calls for the U.S. government to “once again prioritize Christians and other religious minorities fleeing religious persecution.” Brazilian Evangelicals are largest group of young people in Catholic nation Evangelicals are now the largest religious group among young people in the historically Catholic nation of Brazil. The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics published new data from the country's 2022 census.  Roman Catholicism remains the country's largest religion at 57 percent but has been declining for decades. Evangelicals now represent 26.9 percent of the population. And people who identify with no religion remain a minority but are growing in Brazil. Our demographically-aging population The U.S. Census Bureau released a population report last month entitled, “An Aging World: 2025.” The report found that people aged 65 and older make up about 11 percent of the world's 8.1 billion people. Meanwhile, children who are five years of age or younger make up only nine percent of the world's population. This means there are more senior citizens than young children in the world for the first time on record. Plunging fertility rates are behind this demographic change.  Psalm 127:3 is as applicable today as the day it was written. “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward.” Idaho given green light to enforce abortion ban A federal court ruled Idaho can enforce its ban on most abortions. Idaho passed its Defense of Life Act in 2020. The state's supreme court upheld the law back in 2023. However, a new lawsuit seeks to allow abortions in the state to supposedly protect a mother's so-called “health.”  Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador said, “Last month a federal judge blocked Idaho from enforcing our pro-life laws. We appealed immediately, and today the Ninth Circuit put that order on hold. Idaho can enforce the law again while this case is heard, which means unborn children and their mothers in our state are protected under Idaho law.” Artificial Intelligence making students less intelligent Global student performance is declining as Artificial Intelligence usage rises. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development surveyed over 760,000 students in 91 countries last year. Student performance continued to decline last year, especially in reading and math. Reading scores in the United States reached their lowest point in over two decades.  The report found that students who used Artificial Intelligence for specific schoolwork tasks were outperformed by those who did not use AI. Using Artificial Intelligence for Bible study is problematic Speaking of AI, the Barna Group reports a rising concern about Artificial Intelligence misinterpreting Scripture.  Seventy-four percent of U.S. adults are concerned about this. That figure rises to 83 percent among practicing Christians and 94 percent among pastors. When Artificial Intelligence is asked about theological disagreements, 60 percent of pastors say it should show all major interpretations, but not tell which is best. Meanwhile, practicing Christians are divided. Twenty-six percent say that Artificial Intelligence should show the major interpretations and tell which is best. Twenty-percent say it should only show the most widely agreed-upon interpretation. And 19 percent say AI should avoid interpreting these parts of theology.  105-year-old woman thanks God for her life And finally, a Texas woman is giving thanks to God after turning 105. Blynda Vidock was born in 1921. She celebrated her birthday this year surrounded by five generations of her family. Listen to her comments to FOX 26 Houston when asked about her longevity. VIDOCK: “I don't really have anything to do with it. The good Lord put me here for so many years. It's His life through me. I've always been very athletic, played tennis and swam all my life. Ate good food, which I preach to my kids, and they still eat junk food. (someone nearby laughs) And my grandkids and my great grands.” The 105-year-old also said, “I wonder every day when I wake up in the morning, 'This is another day, Lord, why am I here?' Every day is a blessing!” Lamentations 3:22-23 says, “Through the LORD's mercies, we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Five years. Hundreds of conversations. And now, I'm bringing back the Top 5 most-listened-to episodes in High Vibe Life history. This week, we're returning to the second half of one of the most powerful and unforgettable stories I have ever shared. In Part 1, Emily Fauver opened up about growing up surrounded by addiction, abandonment, foster care, abuse, and circumstances that could have determined the rest of her life. But Emily made a decision: "I won't be a statistic."   In Part 2, we continue the conversation and explore what happened after Emily decided her past would not define her future. Emily shares how she began building a completely different life, became a successful content creator and influencer, and found the courage to share the good, the difficult, and the heartbreaking parts of her story with millions of people. In this episode, we talk about: • Moving forward after childhood trauma • Breaking generational cycles • Refusing to let your past become your identity • Building a life that looks different from where you started • How Emily grew her platform and became a successful influencer • Why she chooses to share the real and vulnerable parts of her life • Turning painful experiences into purpose • The responsibility that comes with sharing your story publicly • Creating hope for others through honesty and vulnerability Emily's story is not powerful because everything became easy. It is powerful because she refused to let what happened to her determine who she would become. Whether you listened when this conversation first aired or you are discovering Emily's story for the first time, I hope you hear this reminder: Your beginning is part of your story, but it does not get to decide your ending.   This is Episode 256 and the second installment in our Top 5 Episodes of All Time Anniversary Series.   Listen to Part 1 first, then come back and experience the rest of Emily's incredible story.

We think of AI as digital — but can it run a real, physical oil field? Jonathan Green talks with John Hooker of Statistics & Control about AI in high-stakes industrial operations: where automation genuinely helps, where you still need a human who knows the process, and what "half robot, half person" operations actually look like. Key Takeaways: • In high-security, high-production environments, AI augments — it doesn't replace the expert • You still need someone who deeply knows the process to supervise the automation • The future is "half robot, half person" — humans and AI running operations together • Real-world signals (fuel flow, water, pressures) are where AI earns its keep • "Adopt AI" means knowing exactly what to hand it and what to keep human Notable Quotes: "It's almost like it's half robot, half person." — John Hooker "You need somebody who's very familiar with that process." — John Hooker Connect with John Hooker: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndhooker Company: Statistics & Control Inc (West Des Moines, IA) Website: https://stctrl.com/ Enjoyed this?

Bobby and Alex gather for this mini reaction episode to discuss the surprising sale of the Los Angeles Angels to billionaire serial sports owner Stan Kroenke. First, they grade the Arte Moreno era on his on and off field performance, before bidding him (and his FBI bribery investigation) adieu one final time. Then, they weigh in on Kroenke's ownership experience, his frankly absurd real estate portfolio, his Walmart ties and more. Finally, they speculate about what the timing of the sale might signify about the economic health of Major League Baseball ahead of a contentious lockout in three months.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.
