Podcasts about targeted

   After all the talk, all the promises, all the changes and all the hype.... we finally get a World Cup match at Arrowhead in KC.  Let's forget all the other stuff and just celebrate high level sports competition that really, really matters to billions of people around the world.    Texas Tech got hit from all sides Monday as the Big 12 filed a lawsuit to make their gambling quarterback ineligible, Kansas AG Kris Kobach fired off a letter and case precedent to the Texas AG and Tech's own coach put his foot in his mouth.  So it finally happened... we got a Texas Tech Fold 'Em.     Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is free and we're hoping 30 days behind bars gives him a new attitude for how to live his life.    A massive terror ring was plotting a huge operation for UFC 250 at the White House Sunday night and it sounds like this group of folks really doesn't like Jews very much.    A local radio host steps away, again, to seek treatment for addiction.  Scott Parks says he hasn't been honest on radio and I have some thoughts on how free he will feel if he comes clean.   And restaurants around KC are adding fees to your bill for the World Cup so be careful and one iconic joint is changing the way it operates for the next month.  Ugh.

Benjamin L. Carp explains how the British specifically targeted three rebel captains—Amos Fellows, Abraham Patton, and Abraham Van Dyk—suspecting them of arson. Patton, a member of Washington's spy network, allegedly confessed on the gallows, stating he died for liberty and had accomplices in the burning of New York. Washingtonnotably supported these men and their families, acknowledging their service. He famously remarked that "Providence" or an "honest fellow" had achieved the strategic goal of destroying the city, a task the Continental Army could not officially undertake due to orders from the civilian government in Congress.

It's Wednesday, June 10th, 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 Hindu mob injured 25 Christians during worship service A Hindu mob attacked a Christian worship service in central India last week. The mob injured at least 25 people, including the pastor's pregnant wife. Such attacks are becoming more common in the country's state of Chhattisgarh.  The state's government passed a law criminalizing conversion in March. It is India's second most oppressive state for Christians. Open Doors ranks the whole country as the 12th most oppressive in the world for Christians.    7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Philippines A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the southern part of the Philippines on Monday. The quake killed at least 37 people, injured nearly 500, and displaced over 32,000. Christians in the area are jumping into action. International Christian Concern reports, “Local churches have opened their doors and converted their sanctuaries into vital emergency evacuation centers, providing safe shelter, immediate access to drinking water, and essential family food packs to thousands of displaced and traumatized residents.”   In Matthew 5:7, Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” Spanish Anglican church joins Bible-believing Anglican denomination In Spain, the Evangelical Anglican Community of Valencia joined the Global Anglican Communion last week. It's the first church in the country to do so. The Global Anglican Communion is a movement of conservative Anglicans led by churches in the Global South. The group rejects the leadership of the Church of England which has shown support for sexually perverted lifestyles. Julian Milson is the pastor of the church in Valencia. He told Evangelical Focus, “We believe that the Church is called to submit to the authority of Scripture above any cultural pressure.” FDA launched safety study of Abortion Kill Pill In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration launched a safety study of the Abortion Kill Pill, reports The Wall Street Journal.  This comes a year after the Trump administration promised to review the dangers of the abortion drug Mifepristone. The drug is not only part of ending the lives of unborn babies, it also poses health risks to the mothers who take it.  Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri introduced legislation in March to ban the Abortion Kill Pill. Listen to his comments. HAWLEY: “It is time for Congress to give the victims, the survivors -- many of whom are here today -- the right to recover against this company that has inflicted harm on them solely for the purpose of making profits. I'm introducing legislation today that will do just that. And I'm delighted to have with me here today great advocates for women's health and for life.” FBI fired analysts who targeted Catholics under President Biden         MS Now reports that the FBI fired several intelligence analysts who targeted Catholics under the Biden administration. The analysts were involved in a 2023 memo which revealed how the FBI was surveilling Catholics as potential domestic threats.  A recent report from the Justice Department stated, “The Biden Administration's policies regularly clashed with a Christian worldview and burdened traditional religious practices.” Amazon dethroned Walmart Amazon has dethroned Walmart as the largest corporation in the U.S. by revenue. That's according to the Fortune 500 rankings for 2026. Walmart came in second, ending its 13-year reign at the number one spot. Other top 10 companies include UnitedHealth Group, Apple, Alphabet, CVS Health, and Exxon Mobil.  Also, Texas dethroned California as the state with the most Fortune 500 companies this year.  Curaçao soccer player shared Christian testimony And finally, soccer teams from around the world are about to compete for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The international men's soccer championship is being hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada this year. One of teams hails from Curaçao, an island county in the Caribbean. Players from the national team participated in a Christian worship event ahead of the competition.  The team's striker, Kenji Gorré, shared his testimony at the event. Listen. GORRE: “I received Him as my Savior, because I knew that my good works couldn't do enough. I thought that if you're a good person, you'll make it to Heaven. I thought if you're a good person, God will forgive me. He's a loving God. But the love of God goes deeper. “And that's when I heard the true Gospel of Jesus dying for my sins on the cross, bleeding for me, washing me, cleaning me. And He cleaned me from the inside out. But I thank Jesus every single day. And from that day I've never stopped seeking Him.” Gorré also said, “Tonight we don't gather as athletes seeking worldly success, but as children of God who recognize that everything we have belongs to Him.” 1 John 2:15 and 17 says, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. … The world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, June 10th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Dr. Liz Graves didn't set out to become a doctor. She discovered chiropractic as a patient, fell in love with its foundational philosophy that the body heals from the inside out, and built a career around that principle. Today, as the founder of Back 2 Real Food, she helps people restore their metabolic health through food, cyclic nutrition strategies, and targeted amino acid therapy — without relying on willpower, calorie restriction alone, or one-size-fits-all dieting.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Dr. Graves for a wide-ranging conversation on why so many people are doing "everything right" and still can't lose weight, what the modern food system is doing to our metabolism, and the counterintuitive strategies that actually work.Key Takeaways:The real reason diets stop working (00:07:00) — Every time you diet without recovery, your body adapts to living on less, slowing your metabolism over time. Dr. Graves explains her cyclic approach: a structured window of fat loss followed by a deliberate high-calorie phase that trains the body to metabolize more, not less.Seed oils are the #1 offender in your diet (00:16:44) — Vegetable, canola, sunflower, and safflower oils disrupt cell walls, cause inflammation at the cellular level, and impair mitochondrial function. Removing them is the first and fastest win Dr. Graves makes with every new client.Three foods worth adding right now (00:19:41) — Healthy natural fats (animal fats, olive oil, coconut oil), quality mineral-rich sea salt, and more whole foods without a label. Small additions that compound into meaningful change.Know your farmer (00:21:49) — Pesticide load, not the food itself, is driving the explosion in leaky gut, celiac, and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Graves recommends the Weston A. Price Foundation as a starting point for finding local farmers and co-ops, and makes the case that buying direct is often cheaper than buying organic at a grocery store.Targeted amino acid therapy changed everything (00:26:56) — Most people have never worked with a practitioner who assesses neurotransmitter imbalances and uses amino acids to correct them. Dr. Graves explains how depleted GABA, serotonin, and dopamine pathways fuel emotional eating, overwhelm, and burnout — and how replenishing them through targeted therapy gives people the neurological resilience to stay on course.Cortisol, stress, and weight retention (00:32:41) — Chronic low-grade stress (email, notifications, relentless demands) keeps the body in protective mode, holding weight and suppressing metabolic function. Dr. Graves connects the modern stress environment to the ancestral body we're still living in, and explains why supporting the brain matters as much as fixing the food.Body composition over the scale (00:58:06) — Dr. Graves uses body composition testing (muscle, fat, water, bone) rather than BMI or scale weight to track real progress. She shares the story of a five-foot-one woman with 105 pounds of muscle who technically "should" weigh 100 pounds — and why that framing is misleading and discouraging.What results actually look like (00:47:24) — On Dr. Graves' six-week protocol, most people lose about 10 pounds and drop one clothing size. On the nine-week plan, 15 to 30 pounds and two clothing sizes. She describes it as achieving six to nine months of focused progress in six to nine weeks — structured and demanding while you're in it, but consistently described as the easiest thing clients ever did when they look back.Ready to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

In today's video, Wolfie reacts to a massive breaking story regarding our gaffer, Vítor Pereira. As reported by journalist Ben Jacobs in image_0c0759.png, Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal are heavily interested in tempting Pereira away from the City Ground with a massive wage packet. While Pereira has managed in Saudi before with Al-Ahli and Al-Shabab, he is currently preparing for the upcoming season with Forest and is actually in talks over a contract extension. Wolfie breaks down whether the club can successfully fend off this Saudi interest, or if a massive financial offer could cause a shock summer managerial departure. But the news doesn't stop in the dugout! Wolfie also dives into the latest transfer rumours linking Nottingham Forest with a move for an exciting Belgian international defender to shore up our backline. Wolfie shares his unfiltered thoughts on both stories—from whether we should be worried about losing our head coach to how this potential new Belgian signing would fit into our tactical plans.

DESCRIPTION South Carolina's primary election enters the final stretch as accusations of dark money, fake conservative groups, and misleading campaign attacks dominate the conversation. Tara Servatius breaks down allegations that establishment forces are targeting Freedom Caucus conservatives through deceptive mailers and text campaigns while interviewing State Representative Josiah Magnuson. The show also examines claims about election integrity, California voting practices, and a gubernatorial race increasingly defined by outsider-versus-insider politics. PODCAST SUMMARY With South Carolina voters heading toward a critical primary election, concerns over dark money and political deception have taken center stage. Tara Servatius discusses allegations that organizations presenting themselves as conservative groups are actually working to undermine Freedom Caucus lawmakers through misleading mailers and text messages. Representative Josiah Magnuson joins the program to respond to attacks on his voting record, arguing that claims about tax increases and legislative pay raises are false and designed to mislead voters. The discussion highlights ongoing battles between establishment Republicans and Freedom Caucus conservatives within the South Carolina legislature. The program then shifts to broader election concerns, examining voting practices in California and allegations regarding ballot harvesting, voter roll maintenance, and election integrity. Tara argues these systems create opportunities for abuse and warns of potential national implications. Later, gubernatorial candidate Rom Reddy joins the show to discuss his outsider campaign, immigration enforcement, government reform, judicial reform efforts, and proposals to eliminate dark money influence in South Carolina politics. Reddy positions himself as a business leader rather than a career politician and outlines his vision for changing how state government operates.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says its air force has targeted two Israeli air bases in retaliation for Israel's attacks that hit a number of radar sites. The Israel Defense Forces said the air force struck military targets in western and central Iran.

The Replacements are already here both in population and in the military and police force. Literal unholy, hateful beings will carry out what you thought could never happen here. It happened here before about 160 years ago. America was the first to fall. This time will be much worse and more complete.If it weren't the only thing to talk about, I'd much rather discuss ANYTHING else. Focus spent away from the coordinated assault on the American population is no more than a distraction. All other things are only important if we are in a stable environment where we are able to explore them. In a situation of active threat against our very existence, concerning ourselves with personal future goals is an exercise in futility. The countdown had commenced long ago. The false authority continues to make moves and announce greater, more egregious advances against our freedoms, our health, and our very lives. I would like nothing more than to think about other things. I attempt to. Then another avalanche of purely wicked, predatorial developments become known, and it's crystal clear where our very near future is heading. No we didn't "choose to be born in this era." That's a nonsensical whimsy designed to make you ripe for martyrdom. This is a completely unnatural state of affairs we are being subjected to without any say in our own fates. They are building a greater prison within the less noticeable prison we were spawned into. The Earth, especially progressive in America, is being made uninhabitable. The regime here has declared war on animal, plant, and human life at large. What more do they really need to say? Denial of this is no escape from its effect.Follow This channel NOW:https://rumble.com/c/c-7873716Go to My site, use code: MEM10 for 10% OFFhttps://SemperFryLLC.com and get the best hot sauce in the world.Become a Member of FTJ Media for only $5/mo.https://FTJMedia.com and click "Go Pro"To Join the Stream:https://vdo.ninja/?room=4roomBe a Producer:https://GivesendGo.com/BaalBustershttps://buymeacoffee.com/BaalBustershttps://paypal.me/BaalBustersTo join the Patreon, use this link:https://www.patreon.com/c/KristosCastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ba-al-busters-broadcast--5100262/support.

Peter Henry is a first-generation farmer who manages a diverse, seven-hectare operation in the mountainous terrain of Puerto Rico alongside a dedicated four-person workforce. He transitioned to agriculture during the pandemic after a successful career as a tech executive and startup vice president, initially purchasing the abandoned land with the intent of establishing a shade-grown specialty coffee farm. After encountering significant challenges with his initial coffee crops, Peter successfully shifted his operation toward passion fruit and a highly specialized niche market growing traditional African heirloom vegetables and tubers for buyers in the United States and Canada.   Peter focuses heavily on biological soil health and precise nutritional balance instead of conventional chemical applications. He works closely with Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) to run on-farm trials and design sophisticated nutritional programs using AEA's data-driven inputs. By utilizing rigorous soil testing to address extreme iron and manganese imbalances, Peter designs custom foliar stacks delivered through a specialized micro-sprinkler system to proactively build plant immunity and suppress heavy tropical disease pressure.   In this episode, John and Peter discuss: How Peter manages a complex landscape by separating the farm into distinct irrigation sectors to address vastly different soil mineral profiles on opposite sides of a river . Utilizing an aggressive pre-planting soil amendment strategy that combines lime and custom humic-complexed fertilizers based on comprehensive soil tests . How the operation completely avoids synthetic nitrogen applications because excess nitrogen immediately triggers insect pressure and fungal blights across his pepper and okra crops . Peter designing an innovative micro-sprinkler trellis system to broadcast humics and biology over multiple hectares in just over an hour . Mixing AEA's Humacarb, HoloPhos, and Spectrum directly into the irrigation system to actively inoculate both the soil and plant foliage with beneficial microbes .

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Advancing Precision Weed Management in Turfgrass Systems with Machine Vision-Guided Targeted Spraying” Written by Brooke Heikkila – Graduate Research Assistant Navdeep Godara – Assistant Professor of Turfgrass & Forage Weed Science, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, North Carolina State University and Pawel Petelewicz – Assistant Professor of Turfgrass Weed Science, University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Agronomy Department Turfgrass managers are facing increasing weed challenges due to evolving regulatory framework and growing incidence of herbicide-resistant weeds. The release of the first turfgrass-specific commercial machine vision-guided sprayer (ALBA, Ecorobotix Inc.) enables automated and localized herbicide applications in turf. Although often referred to as “spot spraying” in marketing materials, “targeted spraying” is a more accurate description as it distinguishes this system from manual spot treatments and other existing precision weed management approaches. Such targeted application systems have already been successfully deployed in other crops using platforms such as the John Deere See and Spray, Agritech America WEED-IT, Verdant Robotics Sharp Shooter, Ecorobotix ARA. Using See and Spray technology, comparable weed control was observed between the broadcast and targeted spraying methods, but the targeted spraying reduced the treated acreage by up to two-thirds. In turfgrass, this technology not only offers significant herbicide savings but also opens the door for practitioners to combat herbicide-resistant weeds by incorporating alternative chemistries, including nonselective herbicides or herbicide tank mixtures combining multiple modes-of-action which are not typically feasible in broadcast applications. Overall, spot spraying is not a new concept, as many turfgrass managers already employ it to control weed escapes following broadcast herbicide applications or where selective chemistries are not an option. Manual spot spraying involves individuals walking the golf course or other turfgrass areas with a sprayer loaded with herbicide to make localized applications directly to weeds. Traditional spot spraying is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and requires applicators to accurately identify weeds, necessitating additional training and expertise. It ultimately increases application costs and is also prone to human error, often resulting in overapplication and missed weeds. However, targeted spraying systems such as ALBA, utilize artificial intelligence combined with machine vision to detect problematic weeds within turfgrass canopy in real-time to apply herbicides only to those small areas where individual weeds are present. ALBA is a tractor pull-behind unit that can operate at speeds up to 4.5 miles per hour and uses an enclosure to block ambient light and to create consistent lighting conditions to continuously scan the turfgrass canopy with its cameras to detect weeds. When a weed is spotted, an individual nozzle – one out of 108 – activates to directly target the weed with a 1.2 × 1.2-inch spray resolution per nozzle. As targeted application systems continue to advance and competing platforms emerge, it is critical to understand how to effectively integrate and leverage these sprayers within turfgrass weed management programs. Several preliminary field experiments using ALBA and its ARA-based predecessor research platform were conducted by the NC State Turfgrass Weed Science Program and the UF/IFAS Turfgrass Weed Science Program to understand the applications of this technology. Preliminary studies showed that machine-vision guided targeted spraying substantially reduces herbicide usage and treated acreage while maintaining weed control efficacy, offering both economic and environmental benefits while targeting wide variety of problematic weeds with high accuracy. Reduction in Herbicide Volume Used – In a study focused on controlling false-green kyllinga in bermudagrass fairways, machine vision-guided targeted spraying with ALBA reduced herbicide spray volume by 77% compared to broadcast treatments. False green kyllinga cover was 17% at the experimental sites during study initiation, triggering significant savings due to the weed-specific, localized targeted treatments compared to broadcast herbicide applications. Broadcast applications of standard kyllinga control products typically cost around $190 to $240 per acre, but targeted treatment can lower the cost by more than $145 per acre even when dealing with moderate level of weed infestation (~15% weed cover). Similarly, in another ongoing study, when annual bluegrass weed cover was 10% in bermudagrass fairways, targeted applications achieved a 66% reduction in herbicide spray volume compared to conventional broadcast treatments. Sulfonylurea herbicides for postemergence control of annual bluegrass cost around $140 to $185 per acre and targeted spraying can reduce the cost by at least $92 per acre when weed cover is 10% or less. Practitioners can expect greater savings at turfgrass sites with lower weed infestations, which are typical of intensively managed surfaces and when applying expensive herbicides such as PoaCure or organic herbicides during winter dormancy of warm-season turfgrasses. Targeted application system was also evaluated for control of broadleaf weeds, dallisgrass, smooth crabgrass, and tropical signalgrass in studies conducted independently or in collaboration between Mississippi State University, NCSU, Virginia Tech and UF IFAS, and observed a 53% to 95% reduction in spray volume. In all the aforementioned cases, weed control levels achieved with targeted spraying were no different from broadcast applications. Thus, these studies demonstrate that, across various problematic weed species, this novel application system can substantially reduce the herbicide volume required, lowering costs without compromising weed control efficacy. Lower Treated Acreage – During broadcast herbicide applications, substantial areas without weeds are often treated unnecessarily. Targeted applications can reduce the treated acreage, enabling practitioners to use herbicides such as MSMA, which are currently restricted to spot treatments on less than 25% of the total golf course acreage per year. Targeted spraying systems are particularly useful for herbicides with limited or no residual activity, as it allows localized treatments to weed instead of broadcast applications to turfgrass. Targeted spraying for false-green kyllinga control (17% weed cover) in bermudagrass fairways resulted in 85% reduction in treated acreage compared to broadcast spraying. In a similar study, an 80% reduction in treated acreage was found when only treating annual bluegrass in dormant bermudagrass at 10% weed cover. A study conducted by UF/IFAS Turfgrass Weed Science Program using circular, non-overlapping targets of varying patch sizes (4-10 cm diameter) to simulate random different weed densities and dispersions within the 1-20%, 21-40%, and 41-60% coverage, indicated total spray deposition of approximately 40%, 64%, and 74%, respectively. This corresponded to estimated herbicide savings of 60%, 36%, and 26%. Spray deposition increased with rising weed pressure, while the non-sprayed area, directly reflecting herbicide savings declined accordingly. These results confirm that variation in herbicide savings with targeted applications is driven primarily by weed density, with dispersion playing a secondary role, exerting stronger effects at low weed densities but negligible influence at higher densities. The reduction in treated acreage can potentially diminish the environmental impact of herbicides by minimizing overall pesticide load released into the environment, limiting off-target movement, reducing the risk of groundwater contamination, and lowering the risk of human exposure associated with pesticide applications. Targeted approaches permit treatment to a limited portion of turf, enabling the effective use of chemistries with area-use limitations. Effective reduction in area treated with targeted spraying will become increasingly important as new regulations come into effect, particularly in the context of upcoming Endangered Species Act-imposed changes. Therefore, research projects funded by the Turfgrass Council of North Carolina will focus on investigating the agronomic and environmental benefits of targeted application systems for managing problematic weed species. Alternative Herbicide Options for Resistance Management – Targeted spraying also enables selectivity at the sprayer level rather than relying only on selectivity of the herbicide used. This potentially allows turf managers to use nonselective herbicides that were previously not an option for broadcast treatment due to severe injury to actively growing turfgrasses. Broad spectrum herbicides like glyphosate, glufosinate, or flumioxazin are highly effective against a wide variety of weeds, but practitioners often wait for turfgrass to go dormant before spraying nonselective herbicides, while in some geographies, such as Florida, achieving full dormancy is not even possible. However, with this new technology, practitioners will have the option to incorporate nonselective herbicides year-round with minimal collateral damage to turfgrass. Glyphosate (Roundup Pro Concentrate) applied via broadcast application at 12 fluid ounces per acre rate reduced bermudagrass green cover significantly, but targeted spraying had similar level of green cover as nontreated plots as documented in our recent study. Likewise, glufosinate applied at 41 fluid ounces per acre (as Finale XL T&O) reduced bermudagrass cover drastically after broadcast application but had minimal effect on turfgrass after targeted spraying. Targeted spraying technology also allows use of novel admixtures that are not currently being used during regular turfgrass maintenance. Rotating or tank mixing herbicide from different modes of action are crucial for sustainable turfgrass management, as selection pressure for herbicide resistance continues to increase. For instance, practitioners can use tank mixtures of herbicides like pyridate + sulfentrazone or bentazon + halosulfuron + sulfentrazone for targeted spraying without compromising efficacy on false-green kyllinga. These novel admixtures contain multiple modes of action in a single application that could reduce selection pressure and combat herbicide-resistant kyllinga. Similar admixtures should be explored for the management of other herbicide-resistant or difficult-to-control weeds. Limitations – Like with any new technologies, there are limitations to consider when adopting a machine vision-guided sprayer. Currently, only one commercial unit (ALBA by Ecorobotix Inc.) is available, providing managers with a single option for this turfgrass-specific targeted spraying technology. Additional machine vision-guided sprayers need to be developed specifically for turfgrass systems, as interest in these technologies among turfgrass managers continues to grow and the needs across different turfgrass industry segments will vary. The cost of the equipment and the annual model subscription will be a major barrier for many turfgrass managers. Offering incentives, such as reduced subscription fees for the first few years, could help increase adoption of this technology. Alternatively, with ALBA being an example of a high-end solution maximizing performance and system sophistication, other developers may consider trade-offs to reduce equipment production and maintenance costs to improve accessibility. Although ALBA seems to demonstrate high detection accuracy on key problematic weeds, further research is needed to understand its year-round performance, considering changes in visual characteristics of weeds and turfgrass across growth stages and under varying environmental contexts. In our preliminary work, a few false positives occasionally led to herbicide applications to weed-free turfgrass. Also, we observed that in situations where weed presence (particularly grassy weeds) in the camera's path exceeded that of turfgrass, the detection system became confused, effectively reversing target and background and treating turfgrass instead of the weed. However, developers are actively addressing these shortcomings and performance of targeted applications systems by continuing to improve imagery databases, training and validation across diverse geographical regions and management contexts. There is no doubt that machine vision-guided sprayers will have a transformative impact on the turfgrass industry, however, extension efforts will be critical for adoption. Also, as this technology is still novel for turfgrass systems, ongoing research and development is critical to improve performance, reliability, and to meet industry needs. Among others, further research is needed to evaluate performance under varying travel speeds, expand applications to targeted residual treatments, and refine application thresholds to maximize herbicide savings. Authors acknowledge the Turfgrass Council of North Carolina for sponsoring ongoing research projects focused on leveraging targeted application devices for weed management in NC turfgrass systems. The authors also thank Ecorobotix Inc. for providing a commercial unit for evaluation. You have been listening to The Turf Zone Podcast.

How does a concerned father challenging a school board curriculum wind up facing federal travel scrutiny and an FBI visit? Terry Newsome joins The P.A.S. Report Podcast to expose the terrifying reality of how parental rights, free speech, and political dissent are being targeted by America's label-and-smear machine. In this powerful episode, Terry Newsome, father of twins, Illinois Chapter President of Parents Involved in Education, and host of Behind Enemy Lines, tells his story of being targeted after challenging explicit material in local schools. The conversation breaks down a chilling timeline showing how the Southern Poverty Law Center, activist networks, legacy media outlets, and federal bureaucratic institutions can create a pipeline that intimidates parents, weaponizes labels, and silences ordinary Americans. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Local Catalyst: How Terry Newsome went from an ordinary father to a school board activist fighting for curriculum transparency.  The SPLC Smear Machine: How a national ideological organization can turn local parental dissent into an "extremism" narrative.  The Federal Fallout: How Terry says the SPLC campaign was followed by TSA PreCheck issues, repeated Quad-S travel screenings, and an FBI visit.  The Media Echo Chamber: How legacy media amplification turns NGO hit pieces into public reputational attacks.  The Fightback Strategy: What ordinary citizens can do when powerful public-private institutions try to chill free speech.  This episode exposes the SPLC machine, the weaponization of government agencies, and the growing danger of allowing unelected ideological organizations to influence law enforcement, shape public narratives, and target parents who refuse to stay quiet.

She is the author of You First and The Good Fight and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. She is the author of the new book Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work (Amazon, Bookshop)*. We all love to hate our task lists. However, we can do a lot better with just a bit of strategy. In this conversation, Liane and I explore how to make our task list work for us instead of against us. Key Points Often it's not really the workload that's crushing – it's more so the thinking about all the workload. That's what thoughtload is. The problem with a to-do list is that everything goes on it. Thus, to-do lists are terrible for managing your attention. Instead of one task list, keep a limited amount of tasks on three priority lists. Category 1 list: your most important outputs and outcomes. Category 2 list: what you do to help others achieve their most significant outcomes. Category 3 list: administrative stuff. Four questions determine what gets on your lists: Important (an activity that will add value to a key output or outcome)? Urgent (something with growing negative consequences if you wait)? Targeted (a task that no one can do as efficiently or effectively as you)? Essential (core to creating the critical value, not just a nice-to-have)?

Thomas Ruggia, CEO and President of Theialife,  delves into pediatric progressive myopia, a severe form of nearsightedness caused by the elongation of the eye in children, which can lead to significant long-term health issues.  The development of their novel oral therapy is designed to address the underlying physiology of the eye by strengthening the sclera to halt its elongation, unlike other treatments that only manage visual acuity. This oral therapy is available in capsules that can be opened and sprinkled on food, making it patient-friendly and child-compliant, avoiding the need for often hard-to-administer eye drops. Thomas explains, "Myopia is known as nearsightedness, and I think everybody is familiar with folks who wear spectacles for nearsightedness, or contact lenses, or have had LASIK surgery. But pediatric progressive myopia is a subset of myopia that is particularly difficult."  "The pediatric progressive myopia is a disease that's a bit different than just standard nearsightedness. Someone who might be minus two myopic can easily correct their vision with glasses. In this type of condition, generally, parents have a child who is having some difficulty seeing, and the next year, the child has extreme difficulty seeing. And then every year following, things get worse and worse. They end up at the optometrist or ophthalmologist for extensive recalculating their prescription, new glasses for those years of maybe between six and 16 years old."  "We're actually talking about a disorder that continues for the life of the patient that leads to significant challenges between the ages of, let's say, 40 and 80, where this elongated eye, which is what the condition really is, leads to challenges in retina detachment, maculopathy, early cataracts, and other conditions that are unique to the myopia patients."   "So we have a number of medical devices and pharmaceutical interventions that are being studied today, all of which have an effect on the visual acuity a patient might experience, but none of them affect the underlying structural changes in the eye during that time period. And our ND10 from Theialife has the potential to do so."  #Theialife #MyopiaAwareness #PediatricMyopia #PediatricOphthalmology #VisionHealth #ND10 #AdenosineReceptors #7Methylxanthine #MyopiaManagement #Ophthalmology #Optometry #ChildEyeHealth #ScleralStrengthening #OphthalmicInnovation #EyeCare Theialife.com Download the transcript here

Republicans Redrawing America?! Black Districts Targeted Across The South | Habari LiveTonight on Habari Live, Damon and Iesha break down the growing redistricting battle sweeping across the South as Alabama lawmakers push for new congressional primaries while courts fight over voting maps and Black representation. Tennessee, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Virginia are now all at the center of a political war over district lines, voting rights, and control of the U.S. House.The discussion explores how recent court rulings and weakened Voting Rights Act protections are reshaping elections, why Black lawmakers and civil rights activists are sounding the alarm, and whether mid-decade redistricting is being used to dilute Black political power. From protests outside the Alabama Statehouse to lawsuits in Tennessee, Habari Live examines the national implications of these moves and what they could mean for democracy heading into the next election cycle.Are these maps about fairness — or political power?Is Black voting strength being intentionally weakened?And what happens when voters feel like politicians are choosing their districts instead of districts choosing their politicians?

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Sen. Susan Collins clashing with Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner over the Iraq War, the attempted swatting of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham claiming Democrats don't need men's votes to win elections, and the unraveling of the Freedom 250 concert series on the National Mall.First, Jim and Greg break down the comments of Sen. Susan Collins and Democrat challenger Graham Platner after Platner accused Collins of voting to send him to die in Iraq. They applaud Collins for clearly correcting the record and welcome a Wall Street Journal column from the Purple Heart recipient whom Platner said he wished had died during the war.Next, they condemn the latest threat targeting a U.S. Supreme Court justice after Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of an attempted swatting - sending police to a home under false pretenses. Thankfully, police quickly recognized the hoax before it escalated. Jim and Greg also reflect on how political violence and intimidation have continued to worsen since the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh four years ago.Then, they react to comments from New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who told Democrats that if enough Democrat women vote, they won't need support from men to win elections. Jim and Greg consider what Lujan Grisham is really saying here and the massive media double standard that comes with it.Finally, they cringe as the majority of artists withdraw from an already lackluster lineup of Freedom 250 concerts on the National Mall starting next month. Jim and Greg have some fun discussing some of the names that were on the schedule but note how this news is also a reflection of how divisive our nation is right now.Please visit out great sponsors:OneSkinFor a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.New episodes every weekday.

The theory has a name. Wrench Attack. It's the term used in FBI and digital forensic circles for organized crypto-extortion operations — networks that target wealthy individuals or their family members, recruit disposable operatives to do the violent work, and demand cryptocurrency ransoms protected by layers of cutouts that make the architects nearly impossible to trace.The question is whether anything about Nancy Guthrie's case actually fits that pattern.Tony Brueski takes the question to retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, who has spent 28 years working organized crime, complex multi-agency investigations, and exactly the kind of cases where you can't take the visible operative at face value because the visible operative isn't the planner.Jennifer defines the Wrench Attack model in plain terms. She walks through the recent Scottsdale crypto-extortion home invasion involving two California teens — directed by handlers, given seed money — that happened on the same night Nancy disappeared, and what that case demonstrates about how these networks function. She talks about why digital fingerprints from these operations are so difficult to chase even when the FBI is working alongside top private forensic experts.She also draws a clear line. This is theory analysis, not conclusion. Jennifer is careful about what publicly available evidence supports, what it doesn't support, and what would need to come into view before anyone could responsibly say the model fits Nancy's case. The conversation respects the listener enough to lay out the framework, examine it honestly, and let them follow the analysis.For listeners who have watched true crime spaces fill up with theories that don't survive scrutiny, this is the version where the theory gets taken seriously enough to be examined properly — and held to a real standard.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

1. Local Government Infiltration Case A former Arcadia, California mayor (Wang) allegedly: Admitted to acting as an undisclosed agent for the Chinese government. Faces a felony charge with potential prison time. Prosecutors claim she: Worked with Chinese officials for years before and during her time in office. Helped spread pro‑Beijing propaganda. 2. Use of Media for Influence Wang allegedly operated a Chinese-language website (“US News Center”) that: Posed as independent news. Was actually used to publish content directed by Chinese officials. The platform: Targeted Chinese-American audiences. Distributed messaging favorable to the Chinese Communist Party. 3. Direct Coordination with Chinese Officials Communication reportedly occurred via WeChat. Chinese officials: Sent prewritten propaganda articles. Requested edits and monitored engagement. Wang allegedly: Published content quickly. Sent analytics and performance data back to officials. 4. Narrative Control Example One cited article denied: Forced labor and human rights abuses in China. This illustrates: Efforts to shape U.S. perceptions of sensitive geopolitical issues. 5. Escalation to Political Power Concern heightened because: Wang rose into elected office while allegedly maintaining these ties. Suggests potential for policy influence at municipal level. 6.

Included advance payment to build trust. Targeted information: U.S. foreign policy, trade, and national security issues. 7.
