Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in your body, supporting tissue repair, immune function, and energy production, while also helping protect your eyes from vision loss Research shows your eyes rely on glutamine to fuel photoreceptors, the light-sensing cells in the retina, making it a key nutrient for long-term visual health When glutamine metabolism is disrupted, photoreceptors degenerate rapidly, triggering harmful stress pathways that accelerate retinal thinning and increase the risk of blindness Studies demonstrate that restoring glutamine balance calms cellular stress, preserves retinal thickness, and keeps eye cells alive, offering new strategies for preventing eye disease You can support natural glutamine levels through diet by eating foods such as grass fed beef, wild-caught Alaskan salmon, pastured eggs, raw dairy, spinach, cabbage, beans, and even white rice
As families prepare to send their kids back to school this year, some parents must face a new worry: will their children make it home safely, or will they be there to greet them, at the end of the day? Trump's immigration crackdown is taking a toll on families across America, particularly under new guidance that allows ICE to arrest people in places where they were formerly prohibited from doing so—like schools, healthcare facilities, and places of worship. How will this impact students and families across the nation—and what can we do to fight back?Helping us to sort out these questions and set the record straight is our very special guest, Kevin R. Johnson: Kevin R. Johnson is the former dean and a Professor of Law at UC Davis. He is also Professor of Chicana/o Studies and Director of the Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies at UC Davis. He has published extensively on immigration law and civil rights.

We begin this episode by looking outside of Psalms to the New Testament. Paul writes from prison in Colossians 3:16, encouraging new believers to grow in spiritual maturity and let the word of Christ dwell in them richly. It's in this plea, as well as multiple other passages across scripture, that we see a collective urgency to treasure the scriptures in our hearts. Studies show that Christians in North America have more access to the Bible than ever before and yet we know less about God's Word than we ever have. In this brief episode, we'll look at why it's so crucial to get God's Word into us. We'll also examine the science of our brains and offer practical steps forward. We hope you leave this episode both encouraged and challenged! Bible verses:-Deuteronomy 11:18-Psalm 119:11-Proverbs 3:1-Luke 6:45-Isaiah 26:3-Psalm 139:14

Statin Myopathy Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D. Host: Sharonne Hayes, M.D. Statins are very helpful to lower LDL cholesterol and subsequently lower cardiovascular risk. Studies of statins have excluded subjects that are statin intolerant which is usually due to muscle symptoms such as aches, called myalgias, muscle cramps, or weakness. One of the most significant predictors of statin intolerance is the dose -the higher the dose, the more likely to develop intolerance. Accepted in recommended ways to minimize intolerance is to use generic combination therapy with a lower dose statin and a cholesterol absorption inhibiting agent such as ezetimibe. Newer agents such as PCS K 9 inhibitors and inclisiran, both given subQ, and bempedoic acid may reduce statin muscle symptoms. Topics Discussed: Is any statin more or less likely to cause statin associated muscle symptoms? Are there any protective medications that can minimize statin myalgias? What newer non-statin agents have been shown to reduce risk of myalgias? How is treating high cholesterol levels becoming more like treating blood pressure?

If you're serious about building wealth through real estate, you can't afford to ignore the tax side. In this episode, CPA and active investor Sean Graham breaks down how cost segregation and bonus depreciation can save you (and your investors) tens or even hundreds of thousands in taxes—without changing your investment strategy. We cover how to use cost seg the right way, why most CPAs are doing it wrong, and what high earners need to know about the latest tax bill that could bring back 100% bonus depreciation. Whether you're a GP looking to raise smarter or an LP trying to boost after-tax returns, this episode is non-negotiable.Key TakeawaysWhat Cost Segregation Actually Does for YouReclassifies components of a property to accelerate depreciation over 5–15 years instead of 27.5 or 39.Allows investors to take massive deductions in year one—sometimes more than the cash they put into the deal.Creates phantom losses on K-1s that can offset other passive income or gains.Bonus Depreciation: What It Is, and Why It Matters100% bonus depreciation (introduced in 2017) allows investors to deduct qualifying property in year one.It's phased down since 2023 but may return under new legislation.Huge benefit for both LPs and GPs—particularly when paired with proper tax strategy.Using Cost Seg to Raise Capital More EffectivelySmart GPs use depreciation estimates during the raise to attract savvy investors.Many LPs care more about the tax benefits than the projected cash flow.For deals over $1M, cost seg should be factored into your underwriting and pitch.The “Look-Back” Strategy for Missed DepreciationAllows owners to retroactively apply cost segregation—even years after purchase.No need to amend prior tax returns; benefits can be taken in the current year.Especially powerful when strategic timing aligns with real estate professional status.Avoiding Common CPA MistakesMany CPAs aren't familiar with real estate—leading to missed deductions and bad advice.Make sure your tax pro understands real estate-specific strategies like bonus depreciation, short-term rental loopholes, and REPS.Ask the right questions: Do they know how to handle depreciation recapture? Real estate professional status? IRA investing?How to Work with a Cost Segregation Firm the Right WayInvolve a cost seg firm early—before closing—so you can plan ahead and market benefits to investors.Studies typically cost $5K–$10K, but often result in six-figure tax savings.Smaller properties can use a “condensed engineering study” for reduced fees without sacrificing IRS compliance.Connect with SeanMavenCostSeg.com/Blank Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)
Finding a job in today's economy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. With interest rates remaining high and the job market slowing, this is a strategic moment to refresh your job search. By combining diligence, adaptability, and prayerful preparation, you can approach this season with confidence rooted in God's wisdom.Proverbs 27:12 reminds us: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” Preparation matters—not just in life but in your job search. With the right approach, you can steward your time, skills, and relationships wisely while trusting God to guide your steps.A great place to start is your resume. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter applications before a human ever reviews them, so tailoring your resume to each job description is essential. Use specific keywords, highlight measurable results, and connect your experience directly to the role. Think of it as stewardship—presenting your God-given abilities thoughtfully and effectively.Building Relationships That Open DoorsEven in a digital age, networking is still king. Studies show up to 85% of jobs are filled through referrals, and many roles are never posted publicly. Reconnect with colleagues, reach out to mentors, and don't overlook your church community. Genuine, relational conversations—built on curiosity rather than transaction—often lead to opportunities you couldn't find otherwise.Employers are also seeking adaptable learners. Developing skills in areas like AI, digital communication, or project management shows you're willing to grow. Affordable platforms like Coursera, edX, and Google Career Certificates make it easy to build new skills that employers value.Standing Out in a Digital WorldYour online presence is often the first impression an employer has. More than 70% of hiring managers review social media profiles, and nearly half say what they find influences their decision. Clean up questionable content, complete your LinkedIn profile, and stay active with thoughtful updates. Treat it as your digital business card—when you remain visible, opportunities are more likely to find you.Interviews have also shifted online. Prepare your space, dress professionally, and look into the camera to build connection. Small details—like lighting, posture, and a thank-you note afterward—leave a lasting impact.Trusting God in the ProcessA slowing job market can stir up fear, but Philippians 4:6–7 offers comfort: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”Preparation and diligence matter, but so do prayer and trust. God orders your steps. Every interview, every connection, and every opportunity is part of His greater story for your life. Search faithfully, not fearfully, knowing He is your ultimate provider.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:What is the statute of limitations for a collection agency to pursue a debt I still owe?I'm thinking about applying for Social Security Disability because of a physical condition from my recent job. What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing that?I still owe $31,000 on my mortgage, but I've been paying an extra $2,000 each month. A friend told me I shouldn't rush to pay it off. What's your advice?I'm 70 years old and live in a busy part of Chicago. Due to my age and zip code, I'm being charged very high rates by insurance companies.

The vast majority of Americans reject political violence. Studies show 98 percent of Americans across the political spectrum do not support murder as a political tool, like the killing of Charlie Kirk, a conservative political activist. Berwood Yost runs the Center for Opinion Research at Franklin & Marshall College. He says the first thing to remember in the wake of a high-profile act of political violence is that what you see online does not reflect the real world. One of our NPR partner stations – WPSU – is slated to be shut down by the end of next June. A committee of the Penn State board of trustees voted against a plan to save the station by transferring ownership of WPSU to WHYY. The new school year is in its second month with one problem officials have yet to resolve - the need for more school bus drivers. And now a deeper dive: Today we begin a two-day series, "Double Jeopardy: From the Classroom to the Courtroom," produced by our partners at WESA in Pittsburgh. It examines how and why Pennsylvania schools take some students — often students of color — to court. Citations are tickets for minor offenses that require Pennsylvania students to appear before a judge, and they can result in fines. Public media's federal funding has been revoked.

I'm excited to reshare one of our most-played conversations—the one where Norwegian regulator/HTA leader Anja Schiel and I get very practical about when single-arm trials fail decision-makers and what comparative, smarter alternatives look like for regulators, HTA bodies, payers, clinicians, and—most importantly—patients.

Take a moment and think about how much work you do each day. If you write code, how much time do you actually spend writing code around meetings, admin work, and other tasks. If you manage systems and develop scripts, how often do you get to work on a script, change it, upgrade it, or add a new feature? I bet it's a minority of time for most of you. Studies show that many developers spend only an hour or two writing code each day. I would guess it's lower for sysadmins or DBAs who incorporate coding into their jobs. Now think about how much you enjoy each thing you do. I assume meetings aren't the most exciting thing you work on, nor is updating a document for others to read. When I wrote code as the main part of my job, solving the problem, trying different algorithms, experimenting with enhancements, those were the fun times. Read the rest of AI Steals Joy

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 9-11-2025: Dr. Dawn announces COVID-25/26 vaccines are now available at Safeway with same-day appointments, urging listeners to schedule quickly due to potential supply shortages amid uncertain federal vaccine policies. She discusses promising research on metformin for knee osteoarthritis in obese patients. Studies show metformin users lost half as much cartilage (0.75% vs 1.5%) over four years and had reduced knee replacement risk. The mechanism involves AMPK protein kinase pathways that reduce inflammation and cellular energy storage, with benefits independent of weight loss effects. Dr. Dawn warns hunters about blue pig meat from wild boars that consume rodenticide, which acts like warfarin to prevent blood clotting. The anticoagulant creates blue-tinted tissue that cooking cannot eliminate, making such meat dangerous for consumption during hunting season from September through November. She criticizes the elimination of women's health research funding, highlighting how the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Institute has advanced medical knowledge benefiting everyone. Dr. Dawn notes that $2.5 billion in research was rescinded for containing terms like "women" and "female," creating dangerous knowledge gaps when women experience different disease symptoms and medication responses than men. The brown rice versus white rice debate centers on arsenic content, with brown rice containing about 138 parts per billion compared to 93 in white rice. While both remain below WHO safety limits, children are especially vulnerable. Dr. Dawn recommends diverse grain options and specific cooking methods like soaking, rinsing, and using excess water to reduce arsenic levels. A caller asks about glutathione supplementation, specifically gamma-glutamyl cysteine products. Dr. Dawn explains how these precursors bypass liver metabolism to deliver glutathione to cells, while discussing the balance between oxidative and reductive stress. She notes individual genetic variations can affect supplement responses and emphasizes measuring markers rather than expecting immediate symptomatic improvements. Another caller inquires about histamine intolerance causing puffy eyes and food reactions. Dr. Dawn explains histamine's role as a neurotransmitter, sources in fermented foods and gut bacteria, and genetic enzyme deficiencies in DAO and histamine transferase. She recommends cromolyn sodium eye drops and systematic food elimination, particularly targeting recently increased consumption of chai tea and smoked brisket. Dr. Dawn concludes with news about an AI tool called FaceAge that predicts biological age and survival rates from facial photographs. Trained on 60,000 photos of people over 60, the system achieved 80% accuracy in predicting six-month survival for terminal cancer patients compared to 61% accuracy for human doctors, potentially offering a non-invasive health assessment tool.
SHOW NOTES: On this show… we're exploring the power of encouragement by diving into the beautiful ripple effect that starts when you decide to show up for someone else—with nothing more than your time, your compassion, and your belief in them. Have you ever offered someone a kind word or a listening ear, only to walk away feeling you were the one who had been lifted? That's not coincidence. It's connection. It's one of life's quiet miracles that when you encourage someone else, you get a little more wind under your own wings. This idea wasn't always obvious to me. When I started wanting to give back in 2017, I thought I needed to bring tangible tools: resumes, professional clothing, and interview tips. This was experience I had that might help someone else over a hump or through a challenging time. And while all of that mattered, it was the heartfelt encouragement—the “I see you, I believe in you, and you're not alone”—that changed everything. That realization gave birth to Encouragementology not just as a podcast, but as a practice. This episode is about helping you uncover that same power in yourself and showing you how encouragement can become your own passionate form of outreach. Let's start by unpacking this idea of encouragement. We toss that word around like it's self-explanatory: “She's so encouraging,” or “Thanks for the encouragement.” But what are we really saying? And more importantly, what power are we underestimating in those moments? Encouragement is more than a compliment. It's the act of instilling courage—literally. The word comes from the French encoragier, meaning to make strong, to hearten. You're not just offering kind words; you're helping someone find the strength to keep going, to believe again, to try one more time. That's no small thing. That's soul-level support. Encouragement differs from praise. Praise says, “You did a great job.” Encouragement says, “I see your effort, your struggle, your potential, and I believe in you regardless of the outcome.” It's not dependent on results. It's about presence. It's about being with someone in the messy middle and whispering, “You're not alone.” It's also different from advice. Advice assumes there's a solution and you've got it. Encouragement? It assumes the solution lies within them. They might just need a little help digging it out. Encouragement is humble like that. It walks with, not ahead. And here's the best part: encouragement is one of those rare gifts that benefits the giver just as much as the receiver. Studies show that when you support someone emotionally—whether through a listening ear, a heartfelt note, or a genuine “you've got this”—your own stress goes down. Your sense of connection goes up. Your purpose and joy? Yeah, those increase too. Who knew generosity could be such good self-care? Encouragement is also an equalizer. You don't need fancy credentials, a six-figure salary, or the “right words.” All you need is the willingness to show up with compassion and belief. Encouragement turns everyday people into quiet heroes. And the more intentional we are about practicing it, the more transformational it becomes—not just for others, but for us, too. So when we talk about encouragement today, we're not talking about a feel-good extra. We're talking about a powerful, underutilized tool for healing, connection, and real change. 100 Words of Encouragement for Any Situation Employee Retention Depends on Getting Recognition Right The Pencil's Tale - a story that everyone should hear CHALLENGE: Become a source of encouragement this week—through your words, your presence, or your quiet belief in someone who needs it. Let your intentional kindness be the spark that reminds them (and you) that even the smallest gesture can create lasting impact. I Know YOU Can Do It!
Story of the Week (DR):Lachlan Murdoch Secures Control of Fox and News Corp, Ending Succession FightLachlan Murdoch is confirmed as Rupert Murdoch's successor, gaining control over the family's media empire (which includes Fox Corporation and News Corp). Prudence MacLeod, Elisabeth Murdoch, and James Murdoch—three of Rupert's older children—will each receive about US$1.1 billion. They will sell their holdings in Fox and News Corp and give up beneficial/trust rights in those companies.Apart from full siblings Elisabeth and James Murdoch, Lachlan has three half-siblings, an elder half-sister Prudence, and two younger sisters by his father's third marriage, Grace and Chloe. A new family trust will be set up benefiting Lachlan and Rupert's younger daughters, Grace and Chloe. That trust will hold controlling voting shares in Fox and News Corp. The three older siblings will no longer be beneficiaries in the trust(s) connected to Fox and News Corp. They also give up any voting rights held via those trusts. Rupert Murdoch, despite handing over the control structure, retains a role as Chairman Emeritus. The new trust arrangement secures Lachlan's control over the companies through 2050. One of Rupert Murdoch's concerns was the possibility that the more moderate siblings (Prudence, Elisabeth, James) could shift the political or editorial leanings of Fox/News Corp after he's gone. The new structure is designed to prevent that.Senators Call for Hearings About JPMorgan's Ties to Jeffrey EpsteinDemocrats want CEO Jamie Dimon to testify about keeping Epstein as a client until 2013Epstein had dozens of accounts at JPMorgan's private bank and communicated often with bank executives, connecting them to his wealthy contacts, ties The Wall Street Journal first reported in 2023 to be deeper than understood. Epstein was a JPMorgan client before and after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008 and forced to register as a sex offender.Trump Epstein letter and drawing from ‘birthday book' releasedEric Trump removed from the ALT5 board of directors after discussion with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLCTrump's second son, Eric Trump, was removed from the ALT5 board of directors. According to the SEC filing, the change was made after discussion with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, therefore, the change was in order to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules.It is still unclear which of the Nasdaq rules caused Eric Trump to be removed. The closest reason would be the rule that requires a majority of board members at listed companies to be independent. However, if Trump didn't qualify as independent, other members would have also been removed, which was not the case.after discussion with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC … and in order to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules.” He is now a board observer: While he was originally announced as a full board member, Eric Trump has been reassigned to observer status — meaning he can attend meetings but doesn't have voting power.Larry Ellison's $100 billion day reminds us why David Ellison could buy ParamountLarry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, recently saw his net worth jump by around US$100 billion in a single day due to a spike in Oracle's stock.Larry's wealth was a key factor enabling his son, David Ellison, to acquire Paramount.David Ellison's position is less pressured because his father's vast wealth gives him a kind of “cushion” — meaning that even if some deals don't go well, he can withstand the backlash more than many media owners could.Paramount Skydance Prepares Ellison-Backed Bid for Warner Bros. DiscoveryThe majority of the planned bid for Warner will be made up of cashA Key to Larry Ellison's Wealth Creation: Years of Oracle Stock BuybacksOracle has used aggressive stock buybacks over the past 15 years as a major lever to boost shareholder value—and especially to amplify Larry Ellison's personal wealth. Oracle has aggressively repurchased its own shares over roughly the last 15 years — reducing its outstanding share count by nearly 45%. Because Larry Ellison held roughly the same number of shares, his ownership percentage rose from ~23% to around 41% without buying more stock.This buyback strategy significantly boosted the value of Ellison's stake — Barron's estimates that without the buybacks, his stake might have been worth only $215 billion instead of the current ~$387 billion.Ellison didn't need to purchase additional Oracle shares to increase the value of his investment—he benefited from the shrinking pool of shares and the company's rising valuation.Vanguard Tries To Get Investors Interested In Proxy Voting MMVanguard's trying to get millions of its fund investors involved in big corporate decisions—but so far, most people are still tuning out. That's left folks wondering who really holds sway at America's largest companies.Vanguard's campaign faces a classic case of 'rational apathy', where most index fund investors skip shareholder votes because it feels like a hassle with little impact on their own wallets.Even though Vanguard's Voting Choice program doubled participation to 82,000 people and tripled the dollar value voted to $9 billion, that's tiny compared to the company's 50 million investors and $11 trillion in assets.Studies from Duke, Florida, and Columbia universities show just how overwhelming the sheer number of ballot measures can be—making most people pick broad voting policies, like mainstream or anti-ESG, instead of poring over each decision.While reformers hope wider voting can democratize the system, the early results point the other way: individuals often skip votes or side with management, letting company leaders keep their grip. In fact, last year's Tesla shareholder votes would have failed if Vanguard's index funds had voted like individuals.Financial Services Committee Examines the Shareholder Proposal Process and Proxy Advisory FirmsOn the Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank on Annual Proxy Statements: “Together, these two laws [Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank] have driven up costs, increased the length and complexity of proxy statements, expanded the disclosure and oversight process, and fundamentally changed much of the shareholder access to the proxy system,” said Chairman Hill.French Hill: founder, Chair, and CEO of Delta Trust & Banking Corporation from 1999 until 2014. A ninth-generation Arkansan, Hill is a direct descendent of slave plantation owner Creed Taylor who was among the wealthiest 1% of Americans in 1860.On the Cost of Unnecessary and Irrelevant Shareholder Proposals: “Under this flawed system, companies are too often forced to waste valuable time and resources fighting proposals that are irrelevant to the company's bottom line, hurting investors and workers alike,” said Capital Markets Subcommittee Chair Ann Wagner (MO-02)."Allowing a small group of left-wing activists to hijack the proxy proposal process to push social, environmental, DEI, or political objectives totally unrelated to the core business of a company does not advance the cause of capitalism. It undermines capitalism. It corrupts capitalism because it results in the misallocation of resources of the company. It undermines the profitability of the company. It hurts the shareholders,” stated Financial Institutions Subcommittee Chair Rep. Andy Barr (KY-06).Barr believes that abortion should be illegal, including in cases of rape and incestBarr, who's now running for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat, made it clear that he and Musk are joined at the hip. A few days after the “town hall” Barr released a photo of himself standing beside a shiny new Tesla, with a big smile, a thumbs-up, and the caption “Elon Musk sure knows what he's doing!”On How Proxy Advisory Firms Can Deter Businesses from Joining Public Markets: “For many small and medium private companies considering an IPO, the decision often comes down to whether the benefits of accessing public markets outweigh the risk of compliance. But as we have seen in recent years, the shareholder proposal process can be dominated by a small group of activist investors advancing niche political agendas that have little to do with long term value creation. At the same time, proxy advisory firms wield outsized influence over voting outcomes, and [are] operating with limited transparency and potential conflicts of interest. So together, these dynamics can create an uncertainty and additional cost that make public markets less attractive,” declared House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams (TX-25).Williams was listed as the 22nd wealthiest member of Congress in 2018. Williams inherited the family's automobile dealership from his father, who founded the business in 1939.During the COVID-19 pandemic, Williams's Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership in Weatherford, Texas, received a loan of between $1 million and $2 million as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP);[28][29] the loan was later forgivenGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Boone Electric Co-op members can cast drive-thru votes for directorsDR: New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free DR MMThe program, which will start in November and is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

Teaser:The title for this episode is The Key Ingredient in New Teacher Support. We don't actually use that language anywhere in the episode and I only decided on the title after we were finished recording. Instead of making you wait in suspense, I'm going to share the key ingredient right now – it's you. You are the key ingredient to the success of your beginning teachers. You don't control what the mentor teacher does, you don't control what the district does, the only thing you control is what you do. And when the top reason teachers say they leave the profession is because of a “lack of support” they are talking about you. I recognize this is not a popular view, not because people necessarily disagree, but instead because we have some mistaken (my opinion) notions of who is responsible for supporting beginning teachers. I hope by the end of the show, Cathy and I will have convinced you that you are the key ingredient in your BTs' recipe of success.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

Fat Studies: The Basics (Routledge, 2025) introduces the reading of fat bodies and the ways that Fat Studies, as a field, has responded to waves of ideas about fat people, their lives, and choices. Part civil rights discourse and part academic discipline, Fat Studies is a dynamic project that involves contradiction and discussion. In order to understand this field, the book also explores its intersections with race, class, gender, sexuality, age, disability, ethnicity, migration and beyond. In addition to thinking through terminology and history, this book will aim to unpack three key myths which often guide Fat Studies, showing that: fat is a meaningful site of oppression intersected with other forms of discrimination and hatred to be fat is not a choice (but also that a discussion of choice is itself problematic); and fat cannot be unambiguously correlated with a lack of health Fat Studies: The Basics is a lively and accessible foundation for students of Gender Studies, Sociology, Psychology, and Media Studies, as well as anyone interested in learning more about this emergent field.

Interview with Colin Healey, CEO of Premier American Uranium Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/why-does-premier-american-uranium-nuclear-fuels-merger-make-sense-7518Recording date: 3rd September 2025Premier American Uranium (TSXV: PUR) presents a compelling investment opportunity as the uranium sector experiences unprecedented institutional adoption driven by artificial intelligence energy demands and climate commitments. The company is executing a transformational acquisition of Nuclear Fuels that will establish Premier as one of Wyoming's most active uranium drilling operations while expanding its portfolio to 12 projects across five historic uranium-producing states.The Nuclear Fuels acquisition, which received 95% shareholder approval, centers on the Kaycee project featuring 400 miles of mapped roll fronts and up to 30 million pound resource exploration target. The strategic value extends beyond the asset quality to its location within Wyoming's established uranium corridor, positioned approximately 20 miles from existing production facilities including UEC's Christensen Ranch and Energy Fuels' Nichols Ranch. This proximity provides potential processing options that could significantly reduce capital requirements and accelerate development timelines.Premier operates a sophisticated dual development strategy combining Wyoming exploration assets with an advanced New Mexico project. The company's Cebolleta asset contains a defined resource of 23.5 million pounds and is approaching completion of its preliminary economic assessment. The project demonstrates Premier's execution capabilities, having been acquired through the American Future Fuel purchase and advanced to a 43-101 compliant resource within 16 months.Cebolleta offers a unique processing solution that addresses capital intensity challenges facing new uranium projects. The innovative approach produces pregnant resin that can be processed at existing facilities across multiple jurisdictions, potentially reducing both capital requirements and technical risks compared to traditional development models.Premier's development approach directly addresses current market dynamics where different asset stages command varying valuation multiples. Management recognizes that proximity to cash flow generation commands premium multiples and is positioned to benefit from what CEO Colin Healey describes as the next phase of uranium equity performance where development-stage companies may outperform following the recent rally in producers."The company's recent operational success includes its best drilling result in the Cyclone project's history: 15.5 feet at 0.09% U3O8. Combined with the project's location within 15 miles of Ur-Energy's Lost Creek production facility, this exemplifies Premier's strategy of developing assets near existing infrastructure.The uranium sector is experiencing fundamental demand growth driven by technology companies seeking reliable clean energy solutions. Microsoft's investment in restarting Three Mile Island Unit 2 and membership in the World Nuclear Association represents a significant inflection point, bringing substantial capital resources to uranium demand creation. This institutional adoption occurs against supply constraints in what Healey describes as an undersupplied market where the deepest pockets on earth are looking to increase the demand for commodity.Premier offers multiple near-term catalysts including the imminent Nuclear Fuels acquisition closure and Cebolleta PEA completion. The increased scale enhances financial flexibility for additional strategic acquisitions while maintaining disciplined capital allocation standards overseen by experienced board governance.The convergence of institutional uranium adoption, supply constraints, and Premier's strategic positioning across multiple development stages creates a compelling investment thesis for investors seeking exposure to the evolving uranium market dynamics.View Premier American Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/premier-american-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

How can AI improve our healthcare industry? In this episode, Dr Emma Yhnell speaks to health informaticist and author Dr Charlotte Blease about the role AI could play in the future of medicine, from making it more accessible to helping lighten the hours of a burnt-out workforce. Healthcare systems around the world are under mounting pressure. Healthcare professionals are amongst the most overworked, with half of all US doctors being burnt out and 42% of UK doctors feeling unable to cope with their weekly workload. Studies show that burnout is linked to increased rates of error and harm, which in the medical industry could mean the difference between catching a diagnosis in time or risking a patient's life. But Dr Charlotte Blease argues that this need not be the case. It is time to thoughtfully implement the new technologies of our age to revolutionize the healthcare industry. AI can help us to overhaul a system that is reaching capacity and has the potential to change lives, both for doctors and their patients. Dr Charlotte Blease is a health informaticist with a background in philosophy. She has published more than 150 peer-reviewed journals and books on healthcare and is an Associate Professor at the Participatory eHealth and Health Data Research Group at Uppsala University and Researcher at Digital Psychiatry, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School. Her latest book is Dr Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail and How AI Could Save Lives.

What does it mean to be an “auntie”? Studies have shown that aunties — whether they are a family member, a chosen maternal figure or a parent's friend — play a crucial support role in a child's upbringing. But the work doesn't end at the family unit. Aunties are often the ones showing up and acting as powerful forces of social change. We'll talk with artists, scholars and community organizers about the underrated power of aunties, and the ways in which they actively redefine the nuclear family unit and our systems of care.

John Batchelor 09-03 segment 6.mp3 Guests: Gordon Chang and Peter Huessy, President of Geostrategic Analysis, a fellow at the National Institute for Deterrent Studies. China's Nuclear Ambitions and Arms Control Challenges Peter Huessy describes China's nuclear weapons as tools for coercion and hegemonic goals, a stark contrast to the US view of deterrence. He notes China's rapid nuclear buildup, exceeding Soviet Union rates during the Cold War. Huessy and Gordon Chang discuss the imminent expiration of the New Start treaty with Russia and the absence of arms control talks with China, which has historically aided proliferation. This signals a "brave new world" with zero legal restraint on nuclear weapons. 1917 PEKING YMCA
