Welcome back to Barn Talk! In today's Hot Topics episode, the conversation focused on what's really going on across the ag markets and beef industry. The discussion explored the effects of recent government moves to import more foreign beef, the ripple impact of packing plant closures, and what all of this means for ranchers, feedlots, and rural towns like ours. One concept discussed was how these short-term fixes and political decisions rarely touch the real, deep-rooted issues behind cattle shortages and rising grocery prices. A key theme that emerged was the vulnerability of independent cattle producers as big packers consolidate and government policies seem more aimed at quick wins than long-term solutions. Several points were raised, including how these structural problems are leaving producers with less leverage, what needs to change to keep rural America strong, and why supporting local, independent food systems matters more than ever. If you care about the future of American beef and the backbone of rural life, this episode is a must-listen.

Stop thinking, start thanking.

School bells are about to ring and just like students, teachers are getting ready. Now, there's a way for parents and supporters of those agriculture teachers to get them started on the right foot! Teri Barr visit with Pamela Stuttgen. She wants to be sure her daughter walks into the classroom this fall, and finds a back-to-school gift box waiting for her there. The Colby, Wisconsin woman believes it’s a simple way to show — someone has noticed the work agriculture teachers across the state, do every day. For the past three years, Stuttgen has sent this surprise to her daughter, Jessica. She’s an ag teacher in the Athens School District. But this year, Stuttgen decided to send a second box, celebrating another agriculture educator in the state. “Ag teachers play a very important role in our school system,” she said. “However, they are so underappreciated.” And this gift has become more than a box filled with supplies and surprises. It’s now a wonderful way to recognize teachers who spend countless hours helping students discover opportunities within the agriculture industry. The last weekend of the Wisconsin State Fair will work with moderate temperatures and some rain. Stu Muck says that pattern won't change until at least next week. Harvest may not have started, but farmers are getting a pretty good idea of what their crop will yield. Pam Jahnke visits with Dr. Shawn Conely, UW-Extension Soybean Specialist about the 2026 WI Soybean Yield Contest. Conley says the opportunity not only puts prize money in producers pockets, it also generates real-world information that can help Conley and his research team. Paid for by WI Soybean Marketing Board. The Wisconsin Products building at State Fair Park features everything you'd like to enjoy from the state's farmers. Kiley Allan takes a little time to find out how the cranberry growers are doing. Holly Herline, Communications Director with Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association says the season looks good. Friendships forged at fairs, through 4-H. There's stories all around with that nucleus as its start. Pam Jahnke visits with a group of 6 Sheboygan County 4-H youth that bonded over their mutual love of poultry. Katherine Arbuckle and Lyla How are two of the members. While this group was exhibiting for different 4-H clubs, their mutual interest in poultry ultimately brought them together. Once they showed side-by-side, they found out they also all played music! That led to the beginning of "What's Up: Chicken Butt Band". The troup of poultry appreciators perform at different events all around Sheboygan County and also performed at the WI State Fair. The passion these kids have for poultry has also ignited a new event at the Sheboygan County Fair through a new costume contest! Lyla How tells Pam Jahnke that the best birds for the dress-up event are the "fluffy ones" - because they don't move around so much. And now you know. What's Up: Chicken Butt Band does have its own social media page if you'd like to follow these 4-Her's friendships.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

'TROY SHOULD BE THANKING BEN SHALOM' - CALLUM SIMPSON DISMISSES WEIGHT ISSUES & REFLECTS ON LOSS

Text the show! A 16-year-old California lifeguard saved a 10-year-old boy from drowning in massive surf.The country celebrated the rescue.His mother celebrated something else: the training that made the rescue possible.When people tried to give her son money, she redirected them toward the Junior Lifeguards program that had spent years preparing him for the moment everyone else saw on video.That got Chad thinking:Why do we spend so much attention on the rescue and so little on the readiness?On this Freedom Friday, Chad follows that question from Junior Lifeguards and America's lifeguard shortage to CPR, Stop the Bleed, hunter education, emergency preparedness, and the invisible instructors who quietly create competent citizens.He also tells the story of flipping a raft on Oregon's Deschutes River with his 70- and 74-year-old parents — and realizing that training he hadn't consciously thought about in decades was still there when he needed it.The larger question:What should every American know before they're handed a high school diploma?Not politically.Practically.Because there's always a gap between the emergency and the professionals arriving.Those minutes belong to whoever is standing there.Freedom isn't only permission. Freedom is capability.

Welcome to FUT in Review #741—our final FC 26 podcast of Season 8! Today, John is joined by the two most handsome men in Scotland, Neil and Nathan (Hercules), for an in-depth, honest retrospective of the entire game cycle. Moving past the hype, the trio breaks down what actually worked, what broke down, and whether FC 26 lived up to its initial promise.We break down the highlights, nightmares, and system shifts unfiltered:The Final FC 26 Scorecard: The panel gives their final ratings out of 10 for FC 26. Starting at a brilliant 8/10 during its first few weeks, how far did the score drop after endless patch cycles, AI defending buffs, and store-driven content?Gameplay & The "We've Listened" Patch Cycle: We analyze the shift between Competitive and Authentic gameplay presets. Why did EA abandon their promising early-game manual defending mechanics to cater to casual complaints? Plus, we dissect the meta formations, the overpowered Bruiser and Finesse playstyles, and the death of goalkeeper movement.Pay-to-Progress vs. Free-to-Play: Is FC 26 the most blatant "Pay-to-Progress" game in franchise history? We debate how EA nerfed Rivals, Champs, and Squad Battles rewards to push players toward massive 100k+ store packs. Did Evolutions and Icon SBCs do enough to bridge the gap for casual players?Live Content, Gauntlet & Rush Mode: From the success of live friendlies and Gauntlet tournaments to the complete burnout caused by weekly Rush point caps, we evaluate how EA structured player engagement and whether FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) ruined the fun for regular gamers.The Death of the Transfer Market & EVO Overloads: Why 83 and 84-rated cards were more expensive than 88s, how convoluted Evolution chains broke silver stars like Vulture, and why the traditional transfer market is practically irrelevant heading into FC 27.⏱️ MID-SHOW HYDRATION BREAK

At the end of Chapter 11, the seventh trumpet announces the worst judgments this physical world has ever seen. Even in this, God is to be praised, as John sees in heaven. Is our God a God of wrath? Yes, and righteously so. But praise God we are saved from His wrath through Jesus Christ! […]

I learnt, felt brilliant for a little while, and then Monday arrived. The finish line had moved again.We do this with money, health, work, relationships, meditation and even inner peace. We tell ourselves, "I'll be happy when..." Yet when the thing arrives, it slowly becomes normal and another carrot appears ahead of us.In this episode, I explore why wanting more is not the enemy, why happiness comes and goes, and why contentment may be a kinder aim. I share the image of the carrot that moves with the cart, the importance of pausing halfway up the mountain, and a simple practice for catching the moment we try to skip the life we are already living.This is not about giving up our goals or pretending money, health and security do not matter. It is about taking the next step without making it responsible for finally allowing us to be here.Stillness in the Storms is independent and advert free.

Then take one breath and let this moment be what it is. You can still take the next step. You just do not have to skip your life to get there.Notable quotes from the recording "What if the one thing you keep chasing is the reason you cannot be happy? Is the reason you cannot rest?" (00:00)"If you're not happy until you get that, you will never be happy." (08:40)"What is enough for this day? What is enough right now for you?"

We close season six by walking through our annual July rebalancings of the first four sample risk parity style portfolios and talking about their raison d'être. We also share a practical reverse glide path strategy that we plan to apply to the sample Golden Butterfly portfolio over the course of the next ten years, starting with this one.And we also thank our listeners for their kind words and generosity.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page (please mention Risk Parity Radio in the comment section with your donation):  Donate - Father McKenna CenterMichael Kitces Reverse Glidepath Article (listen to Episode 469 for more info on that):  The Benefits Of A Rising Equity Glidepath In RetirementBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Rebalancing sounds boring until you realize it's the moment your plan either stays real or turns into wishful thinking. We're ending season six with our annual July rebalance across four sample portfolios, using actual target percentages, real fund lineups, and the same rules we follow every year to keep withdrawals and asset allocation from drifting.We start with the All Seasons Portfolio as a reference case for a very conservative risk parity style mix, then move into the Golden Butterfly where we add a twist: a reverse glide path. Instead of locking in a static stock percentage, we gradually step stock exposure higher over a decade by trimming the lowest-volatility sleeve, aiming to improve retirement resilience without turning the process into constant tinkering. Along the way we hit the practical why behind rebalancing: it quietly forces buy low and sell high when your emotions would rather do the opposite.From there, we lay out the Golden Ratio Portfolio and the simplest “cash bucket” management we know, designed to minimize trades and mental overhead while still keeping a diversified retirement portfolio. We finish with the Risk Parity Ultimate Portfolio, our educational kitchen-sink mix that includes Treasury STRIPS, preferred shares, managed futures, a long-short fund, gold, and a small bitcoin slice so you can see how volatile sleeves behave during a rebalance.If you want a clear, repeatable portfolio rebalancing process for retirement, safe withdrawal rate minded allocations, and a realistic look at diversified assets, hit play. Subscribe, share the episode with a DIY investor friend, and leave a review with the portfolio rule you want us to stress-test next.Support the show

Key Takeaways Generosity is ultimately a discipleship issue, not merely a giving issue.Healthy churches intentionally help people take their next spiritual step, including stewardship.Financial generosity is often an indicator of broader spiritual engagement.Churches should celebrate and intentionally disciple first-time givers into consistent generosity.Thanking and encouraging givers at each stage of their journey significantly increases long-term engagement.Churches that outperform others have a year-round stewardship strategy, not just an annual giving emphasis.Weekly giving moments are often more influential than occasional stewardship sermon series.Communication should be tailored to different generations and stages of the giving journey.Churches should cast a vision larger than the budget, inviting people to participate in God's mission.Stewardship ministry should focus on what God wants for people, not what the church wants from people.Effective stewardship combines biblical teaching with practical financial equipping.The senior pastor must actively champion stewardship for it to become part of the church's culture.ResourcesMortarstone Website - mortarstone.comGet the Annual Giving Report - Access HereLearn about the Christian Stewardship Network - https://www.christianstewardshipnetwork.com/Become a CSN member - https://membership.christianstewardshipnetwork.com/

Visionary. Connector. Builder. Those words describe Katina Strauch, 79.When we spoke with Katina, she was recovering from a broken leg, talking with us from her bed on her smartphone. Despite the setback, she remains what she has always been: an active writer, researcher, lifelong learner, and trusted consultant to the Charleston Conference—the influential global gathering for the scholarly communications community that she founded more than four decades ago.What began as a meeting of just 20 people has grown into an annual conference that attracts thousands of academic librarians, publishers, booksellers, vendors, and information professionals from around the world. In the late 1970s, major research libraries had opportunities to meet through the Association of Research Libraries, but there was no place where smaller academic libraries, publishers, and vendors could come together as equals to exchange ideas and solve shared challenges. Katina recognized that gap and imagined something entirely new: an informal, collaborative conference where every voice mattered.At the time, she was on the tenure track and looking for a meaningful way to establish her professional reputation. Rather than pursuing a traditional academic path, she created a gathering that transformed an industry. By inviting antiquarian book librarians, publishers, vendors, and librarians into the same conversation, she built a community that continues to shape scholarly communication today.Reflecting on its impact, Katina simply says, "It's had a huge impact."The Charleston Conference recently entered a new chapter when it was acquired by the nonprofit Annual Reviews, helping ensure that Katina's remarkable legacy will continue for generations to come."Smaller academic libraries, publishers, and vendors now could come together as equals." - Katina StrauchConnect with Katina:Email: katina.strauch@gmail.comBook: Doing the Charleston (2025) – Katina's memoir chronicling the creation and evolution of the Charleston Conference alongside her career as a librarian.Thanking our Platinum Sponsor—AARP Illinois, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

Stop Sending Emails You'll Regret How to Avoid Toxic Emails and Proptect Your Reputation Episode 311 (repeat of #134, Liz is based in L.A.) In this conversation with Liz Danziger we explore: why writing begins with thinking defining your purpose before writing identifying the reader's priorities choosing the right communication medium avoiding emotional emails writing persuasive business messages reducing email length placing your request where readers see it improving credibility through grammar using appreciation to increase response rates editing before sending the three Ps: purpose, person and point ----- About our guest, Liz Danziger: Liz is the author of four books published by major publishers including the business writing guide, "Get To The Point". She has decades of experience in helping teams to write clearly and confidently. Follow her on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethdanziger/ ----- Key Learning Points: Most writing problems begin before the first word is written. Define your purpose before you begin writing. Know your main point before you start typing. Always write with the reader in mind. Business writing serves three primary purposes: inform, request or persuade. Keep emails short and focused. Place your main request near the beginning of the email. Repeat the request at the end of the email. Match your writing style to your reader's preferences. Avoid emotional emails whenever possible. Read every important email aloud before sending it. Apply the "You Idiot Rule" to test the tone of an email. Grammar mistakes reduce credibility. Long emails are rarely read. Separate detailed information into attachments when appropriate. Thanking people increases the likelihood of a positive response. Purpose, Person and Point provide a practical framework for better communication. Shorter sentences improve readability. Reread every message before sending. For important messages, wait before editing whenever possible. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more.   Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in communication skills.

Welcome to The Cashflow Project! In this episode, the conversation focused on making the leap from a decades-long IT career to building a portfolio of over 2,700 apartment units and venturing into industrial real estate. A key theme that emerged was the value of taking risks, leveraging teamwork, and being willing to pivot strategies as markets shift. The discussion explored the journey from small multifamily investments to syndications, the importance of having a strong network, and distinguishing between being an investor and an owner-operator. One concept discussed was the powerful role mindset and coaching play in breaking through personal barriers and achieving both financial and personal growth.

President Trump's latest announcement regarding a deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran has many people angry, disappointed, and even feeling betrayed.I know this will surprise some people, but my reaction is different.I want to say thank you.Thank you, President Trump.Not because I think this deal is good. I don't.Not because I trust the Islamic Republic of Iran. I don't.And certainly not because I believe this war is over. It isn't over at all.I am thankful because this moment is forcing Israelis and Jews around the world to confront a truth we have avoided for far too long: our future cannot depend on any foreign leader, no matter how friendly, powerful, or supportive he may be.For decades, Israel has fallen into the trap of believing that our security ultimately rests in Washington, foreign aid packages, diplomatic guarantees, or the goodwill of world leaders.History teaches the exact opposite.Don't panic.Don't place your faith in Trump.Don't place your faith in Netanyahu.Don't place your faith in any human leader.Place your faith in Hashem.The God of Israel has carried our people through far greater challenges than this one.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: Wheat KingsA campfire singalong that's secretly about a wrongful conviction, a cassette thrown out a car window, and a tiny Eiffel Tower in Saskatchewan.EPISODE SUMMARY This week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream, the wheel landed on 'Wheat Kings', and I had a couple of Andrews riding shotgun to break it down. This is the song the whole country sings around a campfire without ever clocking that it's about David Milgaard, wrongfully convicted of the murder of Gail Miller and imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit.Andrew from Winnipeg brought the timeline receipts (Kim Campbell, the CBC, the wild detail that Milgaard walked free in April 1992, months before "Fully Completely" even dropped) plus a story about his mom chucking the cassette out the car window somewhere in the Alberta mountains. Andrew from Tampa brought the live recording from The Fillmore, October 24, 2000, and the case for 'Wheat Kings' as a pure summertime staple. We get into the loon that cost the band a donation to Ducks Unlimited, the Zippo lighter, Paris of the Prairies (and the 28-foot Eiffel Tower in Montmartre, Saskatchewan). If you love The Tragically Hip, Gord Downie, and a Canadian rock podcast that treats a deep cut like it earns the attention, this one runs deep.GUESTSAndrew from Tampa joined by audio through a Florida thunderstorm and came armed with the Fillmore recording that scored tonight's listen. A devoted Hip fan stateside, he makes the case for the band as a summertime constant and named 'Emperor Penguin' as his favourite album-closer, a song he rations for the days he really needs it.Andrew from Winnipeg is a setlist.fm obsessive, a Crooked Ice bandmate (their album release show is June 4), and host of the weekly Radiohead deep-dive podcast Head Full of Radio. He also runs a weekly show on UMFM. His favourite Hip closer is 'Put It Off', and 'Wheat Kings' carries a complicated, personal weight he opened up about on air.Andrew from Tampa: "Is it about what it's talking about, or is it the way it's made millions of people feel?"RESOURCES, LINKS & REFERENCESThe Hip Handbook, used live to pull the tracking numbers (around 1,350 shows logged, 332 'Wheat Kings'performances). thehiphandbook.tthpods.comSetlist history via Hipbase (primary) and setlist.fm (secondary): first played in Saskatoon, July 27, 1991. The Fillmore, October 24, 2000 performance, shared by Andrew from Tampa from a YouTube upload.

Next Wednesday the wheel spins again and lands on 'Country Day', the closer from "We Are the Same", keeping our accidental run of great last-songs alive.

When pressed by CBS reporter Nora O'Donnell, Trump brushed off the controversy and even took a swipe at Gaines, yet she insists she still supports him and the America First movement. So what really happened? And is this a sign of cracks forming among Trump supporters?
