The Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) met last week to discuss the process to be followed in handling the Municipal Structures Amendment Bill, also referred to as the Coalitions Bill. The Bill aims to provide a clear legislative framework for the formation of coalition governments and to establish mechanisms to minimise coalition-related challenges in local government. With the proposed amendments, the Bill seeks to promote stable and accountable coalition governance, reduce political instability and support the uninterrupted delivery of services to communities. Meanhwile , My Vote Counts says it notes the second tabling of the Local Government but while the need for a stable governance framework in South Africa's municipalities is clear, the current process raises serious constitutional concerns.

The South African Local Government Association, SALGA has welcomed Cabinet's decision to send the Municipal Structures Amendment Bill to Parliament. Commonly called the "Coalition Bill", it aims to bring more stability, transparency and accountability to municipal coalitions. Coalition-led councils have jumped from 27 after the 2016 elections to 70 after 2021, making them a key feature of local government. SALGA says while the law is important, parties must also sign clear coalition agreements and focus on service delivery ahead of the 2026 polls. We spoke to SALGA spokesperson, Motalatale Modiba.

The choice between insurance-based and fee-for-service healthcare can shape everything from patient flow and profitability to branding and long-term practice value. In this episode, Christy and Charles break down the risks and benefits of PPO and FFS models, including how PPO participation can support steady new patient flow while increasing network competition, while FFS practices may offer more pricing control, stronger margins, and a more personalized patient experience. They also discuss what buyers should evaluate during a practice transition, why seller goodwill and transferable contracts matter, and how owners can thoughtfully approach a shift from PPO to FFS over time.

Brian Murphy spent thirty years building Portfolio Advisors from a bare office with no furniture into a firm that raised roughly $90 billion and delivered an 18.4% compounded return to its clients. In this episode of Case Studies, Brian sits down with Casey to trace that arc, from selling bootleg fireworks as a kid to restructuring a broken $395 million portfolio at twenty-nine years old, and ultimately building one of the most creative fund structures in private equity.The conversation moves well beyond deal mechanics. Brian unpacks the mindset behind solving problems no one else would touch, the discipline of building partnerships instead of hierarchies, and why he and his wife, Louise, chose to fund college educations for the children of their employees rather than keep more for themselves.[00:00] Introducing Brian Murphy[02:15] Childhood hustles and mopeds[05:35] Born with the entrepreneurial bug[13:26] Painting crews and street credit[20:36] Landing at Columbia Business School[25:04] Restructuring, Blackstone, and Gibson Greetings[33:21] Founding Portfolio Advisors[43:09] Ninety billion and an 18.4% return[45:33] Sharing equity with employees[52:00] The scholarship gift to staff[1:13:31] The Murphy family bank[1:29:56] Lessons from every market crashThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

Pele Collins went from leading the SpaceX parachute engineering team that brought American astronauts safely home to co-founding a Y Combinator-backed deep tech startup, Beyond Reach Labs. In his latest interview with Irakli, the proudly South African engineer reveals how his team is tackling the ultimate pick-and-shovel play for the next era of the space race: deployable structures that unfold from the size of a dining table to a full-sized football field in orbit. Building in space historically meant assembling structures piece-by-piece over dozens of rocket launches. Collins wants to bypass those massive costs using dynamic, folding mechanisms. While the company initially entered Y Combinator focused on simulation software, raw customer feedback forced a fast pivot to pure hardware. “...customers said this, I mean this tool's amazing, we'd love to use it, but honestly, can you just go design and build the thing for us?” Collins recalls. Collins credits his resilient problem-solving mindset to his South African roots, highlighting a culture of mutual support that even landed him his first break at SpaceX under a fellow South African manager. “South Africans also always help each other out and... open doors for each other,” he says.

Are you trapped handling guest management; spending hours coordinating schedules, pitching, and editing endless long-form conversations every week? Defaulting to a weekly interview format is the quickest way to hit severe podcasting burnout. While everyone insists that interviewing guests is the only way to build a show, managing the administrative backend and tech glitches often dilutes your own authority and pulls you away from high-level client work. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I challenge the standard weekly interview trap and break down three high-impact alternative podcast styles that streamline your production time while delivering powerful business results. This week, episode 297 of Podcasting Unlocked is about exploring alternative structures for your podcast outside of the weekly interview format! In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I'm sharing the importance of finding a podcasting style that works for you and actionable steps you can take right now to reclaim your time and combat burnout. I also chat about the following: Break Free from Administrative Fatigue: Understand the hidden costs of guest-heavy shows, including scheduling logistics, pitch management, and complex multi-track audio editing.Launch a Seasonal Limited Series: Discover how structuring your show into distinct seasons allows you to batch record months of content in a few days, giving you permission to step away from production to focus on client work.Master Solo Strategy Sessions: Learn why short, 10-to-15-minute bite-sized episodes centering your proprietary frameworks build fast audience trust, drive SEO traffic, and generate targeted B2B leads.Curate Strategic Compilations: Explore how grouping existing clips from your backlog into themed roundup episodes extends your content's lifespan with minimal transition recording.Pivot Formats Without Losing Listeners: Master a smooth, transparent transition plan that communicates format changes to your audience as an upgraded, high-value experience.Look at your recording calendar for next month. Swap out just one scheduled guest recording for a short, 10-minute solo strategy session that directly answers the number one question your prospective clients ask you. Test the waters and see how your audience responds! Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

The latest episode of the Becoming Centered Podcast, Episode 74, explores three factors that blend together to create a treatment environment in a residential treatment program.  The first factor is the way in which various Care activities are organized.  For example, this episode compares feeding kids cafeteria-style versus family-style and looks at some aspects of how household chores are implemented.  The second factor is how residential counselors instill beliefs in kids that support treatment.  Some of these beliefs are more general, such as understanding that when a person becomes increasingly emotionally upset, that person's ability to think and to use words degrades.  Other beliefs are specific to the value of exercising and practicing executive skills.  For example, believing that it's a good idea to have a plan in anticipation of various social and task challenges.  The third factor is how residential counselors prompt kids to have to practice and exercise their executive and social skills instead of just giving kids simple orders and directives.  It's these sorts of practices that elevate direct care staff from being Caregivers to being Counselors. 

Welcome to The Daily. Today, I want to give a shoutout to Jeff Baker from Palm Coast, FL. Thank you so much for your partnership with us in Project23. Grab your Hosea Scripture Journal. Our text today is Hosea 10:1: Israel is a luxuriant vine that yields its fruit. The more his fruit increased, the more altars he built; as his country improved, he improved his pillars. — Hosea 10:1 Success can be dangerous, and it rarely feels dangerous at first. Note Israel. They are "a luxuriant vine." In other words, they were fruitful, productive, expanding, and prosperous. There was progress in their time. Wealth was increasing. Structures were being built. Life felt stable and looked successful. And yet there is this underlying problem. "The more his fruit increased, the more [foreign] altars he built." Notice what's happening. Their progress did not drive them toward deeper surrender to God. It fed their independence from Him. Progress became prosperity, which became pride. They moved from God's blessing to self-congratulation. Material success has a subtle power over the human heart. It convinces us that we are the source of what only God provided. We start admiring what we built, what we earned, what we improved, what we accomplished. The operative word here is "we." Our house gets bigger. Our investments grow. Our business expands. Our upgrades increase. Our image sharpens. And with every improvement comes a hidden temptation: to believe we did this, therefore we deserve it. Success can quietly feed arrogance. Not noticeable arrogance. Refined arrogance. The kind that still mentions God occasionally while functionally trusting ourselves completely. When this happens, we stop praying with desperation because life feels manageable. We stop depending on God because systems, money, planning, and comfort seem to work just fine. We begin measuring life by visible growth instead of spiritual depth. And the frightening part is this: materialism often produces immediate dividends before it produces visible destruction. That is why it deceives so many people. Success can hide personal spiritual decay for a long time. You can be fruitful financially and barren spiritually. You can look blessed outwardly while pride is hollowing you out underneath. You can build an impressive life while slowly losing your dependence on God. But note: the danger is not the provision. The danger is provision without surrender. Because with provision comes the dangers of provision. Selfishness without submission. If pride has seeped in, surrender it today. And recognize all provisions as God's provision, not your own. DO THIS: Thank God specifically today for every success, provision, and opportunity in your life. Then ask Him to expose any pride or self-reliance growing underneath it. ASK THIS: Has success made me more dependent on God or less? Where has materialism quietly shaped my heart? What am I taking credit for that actually came from God? PRAY THIS: God, protect me from the pride that success can create. Keep my heart humble, grateful, surrendered, and fully dependent on you. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me"

Fitzhugh Brundage, author of A Fate Worse Than Hell, details how Confederate official John Winder, a West Pointerfrom Maryland, supervised the detention of Union prisoners in Richmond. He oversaw the conversion of industrial structures, like the Libby Prison tobacco warehouse, into overcrowded holding pens for Union officers. These facilities lacked basic amenities, including latrines and protection from the elements, leading to rapid physical deterioration for thousands. Winder, often viewed as a military martinet, prioritized bureaucracy over prisoner welfare as the captive population ballooned beyond Richmond's capacity. (3)1865

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on wildfire threats in the West.

An examination of the deepest level of the Ancient Mesopotamia iceberg, commonly labeled "Theories and Speculative Ideas." The video reviews each claim against primary sources from Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and Assyria, including cuneiform tablets, excavation reports, and geological data, to demonstrate how historical method evaluates extraordinary claims.Coverage includes: Ancient Astronauts and the Annunaki: the origin of the theory in Zecharia Sitchin, what the Akkadian term actually means in Mesopotamian religion, and the evidential standards for alien contact claims. Great Flood myths: comparison of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Genesis, and other flood traditions with evidence for Persian Gulf and Black Sea inundations. Gilgamesh's tomb discovered in 2003: the Uruk excavation, the Iraq War interruption, and why no inscription links the tomb to the historical king. Hanging Gardens location: the case for Nineveh and Dur-Sharrukin, Archimedes screw technology by 700 BC, and why Babylon remains plausible. Nimrud Lens and Saturn's rings: what the 3x quartz lens can and cannot do, and the absence of telescopic astronomy in Assyrian records. Annunaki gold-mining slaves: the actual Mesopotamian creation motive of humans as laborers for the gods versus modern reinterpretations. Abraham from Ur: the biblical text, the Amorite migrations circa 2000 BCE, and the northern vs southern Ur debate. Sumerian King List long reigns: hundreds of thousands of years, symbolic numbers, and attempts at dynastic or calendrical readings. Sumerian origins: language isolate status, the Persian Gulf marsh hypothesis, and pre-flood settlement theories. Nibiru and the 12th planet: claims of hidden planets in tablets and the current state of translation work. 4.2 kiloyear event: climate data and its role in the fall of the Akkadian Empire alongside Gutian pressure. Structures beneath Eridu: the E-Abzu temple's 18 rebuild phases and what lies under ziggurat foundations. Linguistic fringe theories: proposed links between Sumerian and Turkic, Hungarian, Elamite, and Dravidian. Meluhha trade network: Indus Valley contacts, Neo-Assyrian memory loss, and claims of an Ethiopia-to-India empire. Nuclear war dark ages: why nuclear events leave unmistakable geological signaturesSumerian copper from Lake Michigan: sourcing from Cyprus and Iran versus New World contact hypotheses. Sacred marriage as genetic experiment: Ishtar priestess rituals and kingship legitimation. Ur III bala system as socialism: command economy, ration payments, and modern ideological projections. King List as doomsday calendar, Nam-Shub virus, 676 BC simulation, and Enki vs Enlil secret societies: modern fiction, numerology, and conspiracy narrativesThe purpose is not to ridicule speculation, but to show what counts as evidence in early Mesopotamian studies, where the limits of knowledge currently lie, and what kind of discovery would be required to reopen closed questions.Keywords: ancient Mesopotamia, Sumerian history, Akkadian Empire, Babylon, Assyria, Annunaki explained, ancient aliens debunked, Sumerian King List, Gilgamesh tomb 2003, Nibiru 12th planet, Hanging Gardens Nineveh, Nimrud lens, flood myth, 4.2 kiloyear event, Mesopotamia iceberg

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Meagan Kusek sits down with Tim Hogue, CEO and founder of Modernwash, to examine the business case for prefabricated carwash building construction and the misconceptions that have long followed it. Hogue opens by addressing that prefabricated structures are plain, limited in customization or somehow less permanent than traditional block builds. His counter is simple — Modernwash's bolt-together steel frame system can produce buildings ranging from standard carwash tunnels to two-story towers, equipment room overbuilds and even high-end residential and commercial structures.   The conversation dives into where prefabricated carwash building construction delivers its clearest financial benefit: Speed to open.

ZaZar on Humanity's Ascension: Unified Consciousness, Light Spiral Downloads & DNA Activation with Marilyn Gewacke Kara Goodwin was thrilled to welcome back clinical psychologist and channel Marilyn Gewacke, who shares teachings from ZaZar about accelerating "winds of change" linked to solar/galactic energies that both dismantle unstable 3D structures and fuel manifestation and ascension. They discuss growing readiness for awakening, disclosure narratives and fear, and the importance of building a coherent unified field of heart-based consciousness through retreats, meditation, and kindness.  ZaZar explains a unique nighttime experience Kara had as a visitation involving "light spiral downloads," increased receptivity corridors within her consciousness, and multidimensional contact, emphasizing free will and conscious awareness of vibrational experience.  He describes the unified field rapidly strengthening toward access to "zero point" energy, light codes, and DNA shifts that support healing, longevity, and integration of light and physical bodies, aided by "cosmic humans." Marilyn shares upcoming retreats and online "Epic News" and Q&A events.
