"Founders often wear a mask of 'irrational optimism' for their team; a necessary front when leading through uncertainty." This insight from Ashish Munjal delves into the often unspoken psychological aspect of entrepreneurship, where maintaining a strong, positive exterior is crucial for team morale and navigating the startup journey's inherent challenges, even when founders internally grapple with difficulties. Ashish Munjal is the Co-Founder & CEO of Sunstone, one of India's leading higher education service providers. Recognized in the Times 40 under 40 (2022), he is steering Sunstone to impact nearly 20,000 students across 14 cities and over 27 colleges, with projected gross sales of around ₹300 crore by the end of the year discussed in the podcast. His mission is to make quality, job-oriented higher education accessible, particularly for students in Tier II & III cities. Key Insights from the Conversation:

Market Holiday Alert Heads up, traders! Indian stock markets will be closed on April 14 (Ambedkar Jayanti) and April 18 (Good Friday). Plan your trades accordingly. US-China Trade War Reloaded The tariff tussle is back on. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced new sector-specific tariffs on smartphones, semiconductors, and pharma, likely within a month. “We can't rely on China for essentials,” he told ABC News, signaling a push to bring manufacturing home. This comes after Trump temporarily exempted some Chinese electronics from a 145% retaliatory tariff, a move that briefly helped companies like Apple, which had lost $640 billion in market value. With fresh tariffs looming, China is urging a rollback, but the tech and pharma trade war may just be heating up again. Summer Surge: Indians Flock Abroad India's scorching summer is sending travelers packing. Outbound travel is up 15–20% year-on-year, say visa providers. Top destinations: Europe, US, Canada, and Southeast Asia. “Plan early,” urges VFS Global, as visa demand jumps 11% since 2024. Peak season might stretch into October, and agencies are leaning on AI to speed up processing. From leisure to study and work, Indians are going global—and not looking back. Cleartrip's Costly Flight Plan Despite MS Dhoni's pilot pitch, Cleartrip's financials hit turbulence. In FY24, the travel portal spent ₹988 crore to earn just ₹97 crore, racking up losses over ₹800 crore—half of it on discounts. Flipkart's 2021 acquisition hasn't paid off, as rivals like MakeMyTrip and Ixigo fly ahead. With new growth head Manjari Singhal, Cleartrip is eyeing hotels, corporate travel, and cabs. But experts say: “Discounts won't fly forever.” Will Cleartrip course-correct or stay grounded? Green Card Setback for Indians The May 2025 US Visa Bulletin brings bad news—EB-5 visas for Indians retrogressed by six months to May 1, 2019, increasing wait times. Other categories remain stuck: EB-2: Jan 2013 EB-3: Slight move to April 2013 EB-4: Still unavailable Blame it on high demand, annual caps, and per-country limits. Experts advise exploring faster tracks like EB1 or NIW—but for many, the American dream is on pause. HDFC Bets Big on Small-Town Homes HDFC Capital is investing ₹1,500 crore in 18 residential projects with Eldeco Group across Tier-II and III cities. Targeting markets like Panipat, Ludhiana, Rishikesh, and Kasauli, the platform eyes ₹11,000 crore in revenue from 10 million sq ft of new housing. “We're bullish on towns near metros,” says CEO Vipul Roongta, citing rising infrastructure and housing demand. Backed by its $4.2 billion housing fund, HDFC is betting that India's real estate boom is heading beyond the metros.
hanks Nachum, No fooling folks, it's April as the Yeshiva League turns the corner into Spring. But first, straight ahead on Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, the Yeshiva League holds court at the 2025 Red Saracheck Tournament. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. From beginning to end, the 2025 Red Saracheck Tournament held an extraordinary amount of suspense, excitement and, of course, upsets. The Granddaddy of all Yeshiva League Basketball took place this weekend at the Max Stern Athletic Center on the campus of Yeshiva University with 21 teams vying for the most prestigious title and for the first time in a long time Yeshiva League teams were in command of the action for the Tier I and Tier II championships...just not the ones that would be believed. The afternoon session on Monday started out with the Tier II championship featuring two highly ranked teams, semifinalist North Shore and league-Champion DRS Wildcats, both teams were relegated to the lower bracket following stunning Thursday upsets, for 3rd seed DRS, it would be the 14th seed Frisch Cougars pulling off the upset on a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Nathan Neufield for Frisch in the 45-44 victory. North Shore would also fall to a Yeshiva League foe, Magen David, who gained the 10th seed by virtue of their play-in win the night before over Flatbush. More on them later. The Wildcats and Lions would rebound with wins Saturday night to advance to the semifinals and narrowly advance to the finals, with DRS needing an overtime miracle buzzer beater three by Joe Aaron to send their game with Hebrew Academy of Montreal to Double OT and then a superb second extra session from Aaron to seal the deal to move on. In the finals, it seemed as if the totality of the last two weeks had finally caught up to the Wildcats. North Shore took a two-point lead with under a minute to go in the first and never trailed the rest of the way, opening up mid-teen leads at several points. DRS would make a charge late, though and would pull within two and with 7 seconds to go, Aaron would go to the line for two shots. Aaron would only make 1 of two shots to trail by one. With the Lions hitting a free throw at the other end, DRS would have one last chance to tie as Aaron burned his way up the court cutting through to the basket, but could not get the running jumper to fall at the buzzer, giving North Shore the 49-47 Tier II victory. In Tier 1, two more Yeshiva League teams squared off in the unlikeliest of finals. 4th seed TABC busted through Fasman, SAR and top ranked YULA to head back to the main stage at the MSAC where they fell short only a handful of days earlier in the Yeshiva League Championship. Their opponent, the 10th seeded Magen David Warriors. Following their wins over Flatbush and North Shore, the Warriors knocked off #2 Shalhevet 58-51 and #6 Berman by 1 to become one of the lowest seeds to ever advance to the Sarachek finals. The teams would trade runs and keep a close game until midway through the 4th when the league runner up took over and finished off the game on a 17-7 run to take the tier 1 championship for TABC 61-49. Eyal Kinderlehrer saved the best for last, putting up a 24 point, 13 rebound double-double to lead the Storm to their first-ever Saracheck Tournament Championship. The final winter sport event will take place this coming weekend as the 2025 Rabbi David Beitler Memorial Tournament will take place in HAFTR for Varsity Hockey. Moving over to Spring Sports, in Girls Hockey, HAFTR has opened up a sizeable lead in the East at 4-0-1, taking a 5-point lead over second place HANC. Meanwhile, in Boys Volleyball, Solomon Schechter took a straight set win over YDE to improve to 4-0. In Boys Soccer, Westchester continues their impressive season, downing Flatbush 12-5 to match DRS at the top of the East with 4 wins and Frisch took a 5-4 win over defending champion Kushner to remain undefeated out West. And that was your Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, I'm Elliot Weiselberg

Today in "Being a dad" series, KK and I are going to talk about parental anxiety from Dad's point of view.Anxiety is part of life. We can't avoid it. But we should learn to manage it, otherwise it can damage our families. KK and I are going to talk about trigger points for anxiety and our coping mechanisms of anxiety.Let me set some expectations here: I've two boys. KK has a son and a daughter. They are still young. Our kids are still in school going ages. They have not appeared for board exams, we have not stood in line for hours for college admissions, we have not handled the tension of marriage, and so on. And we are not counsellors. We are not telling you how to handle anxiety in all its different forms.Then why are we doing it? To paraphrase KK, this is an exercise for our younger and older selves. We wish someone taught us what we learnt; or we want to look back through the journey. In a way this is a documentary of our journey of being a dad.Hope you find it interesting.If you have any questions or comments, feel free to send them to either of us.(00:00) - Introduction (02:01) - Trigger points for anxiety (12:17) - Impact of society (13:36) - Anxiety & Homeschooling (17:55) - Scenario Planning (21:58) - Living in Metro vs Tier-II cities (27:26) - Ambition vs Contentment (29:31) - On being a perfect dad (31:57) - Summary Connect with meTwitter: https://twitter.com/jjudeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjude/Website: https://jjude.com/Newsletter: https://jjude.com/subscribeYoutube: https://youtube.com/gravitaswinsEmail: podcast@jjude.comExecutive Coaching Program: https://gravitaswins.comConnect with Krishna Kumar (N)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/storytellerkrishna/Your feedback countsThank you for listening.

Hockey. Zombies. Grapefruit-flavored vodka. What would possibly go wrong? Turns out, quite a bit actually. These kids should have stayed home, drank some Grain Belt, and played Duck, Duck, Gray Duck. We bring a special guest on board for this week's screening of what turns out to be...just a terrible dumpster fire of a movie. Not the State of Minnesota's finest hour. At least it's filmed in the US, so Steve can pronounce the names. Cocktail of the Week Pink Whitney Martini 1 1/2 oz Pink Whitney Vodka 1/2 oz Limoncello 1 oz simple syrup 1 1/2 oz lemon juice It's been a long time since we've had a drink this college-y. Our expert guest, Emma, describes it as "college in a bottle" and that sounds about right. It reminds Brandon of 20 years ago, when people used to mix UV vodka with lemonade. But, this one passes its 100-level courses with a C-grade, and you know what they say, "Cs get degrees." Notes about this episode: The Austin Bruins are a NAHL team in Austin, MN. The NAHL is a Tier II (out of three), USA Hockey-sanctioned, junior hockey league. With a 4.6-star Google rating, their home arena, Riverside Arena, is by far the highest-rated feature of this movie. The Spam Museum in Austin, MN is a great place to spend your Spring Break if you are a fan of the ubiquitous canned pork product, which Brandon was surprised to find is not made of pig ears and hooves. Barry Melrose has a semi-protected Wikipedia entry that does not include his heroic role in this movie. If you have a confirmed Wiki account, you should go on there and correct this oversight. We're not going to the trouble to get confirmed, but he shouldn't be allowed to hide from this abomination. Leave that five-star review here on Spotify.

Kevin Yellowaga is the skills coach for Brooks Bandits in the AJHL, one of the top junior teams in Tier II in North America and a consistent producer of D1 talent and beyond. IN todays episode we talk about AJHL, their recent trip to Sweden and also of course Cale Makar but also Devin Philips from NC.
In today's episode, I talk about financial aid and the comically high cost of college. What's the difference between need-based aid, merit-based aid, and how Tier II colleges intentionally inflate their cost of attendance only to offer big discounts (disguised as a merit or academic scholarships) to make parents and students feel good about themselves and about paying $60K/year to attend. Learn how to not let such "enrollment management" practices entice you into paying more than you should.

Welcome to Musicians Tip Jar where we talk about musicians and money. We believe music can let you experience life with a different kind of happiness. And it spreads happiness by sharing your music. I'm Chris Webb, joined by our co-host and happiness super-spreader, Dave Tamkin. Many people believe that happiness is a choice. What is your opinion? I like to think it's a series of choices that lead to a state of happiness and perhaps the biggest choice we get to make in the free world is what we do with our time. Our guest Chadzilla is a mint example of this and we discuss how to find places you are valued and how exploring our creativity effortlessly enables our income diversification.Quote:“If you have the trust and belief to stand up for yourself than the world will reward you” - ChadzillaFounded in 1979, Swallow Hill Music (SHM, Swallow Hill) is a Denver-based 501(c)(3) organization that strives to positively impact the quality of people's lives through music. SHM operates a music school and three performance venues at its Broadway & Yale location, and produces outreach activities and community events throughout the Denver metro region as an SCFD-funded Tier II organization with a $6 Million annual budget (2019).Swallow Hill is a nationally-revered hub for concerts, classes, and community, and is a recipient of both the Mayor's and the Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, and an inductee of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame and Folk Alliance International's Business Lifetime Achievement awards.We often forget how powerful sharing creativity can be and how much it affects our audience and community. We feel the need to be creative but it is only by following that need into action and making choices to pursue the opportunities that feel right, that we reap the rewards of this feeling called happiness. Lets explore this further in the second half of our interview with drummer, vocalist, educator, studio owner/engineer/producer, and composer; Chadzilla.Chadzillamusic.comAction:Replace a non-creative activity in your day today and replace it with a creative activity (literally anything, not just music). Perhaps instead watching TV or scrolling social media? Start getting back into that creative flow.As always, Thanks for joining us and remember there is already enough for everyone, you just need to know how to get it. Until next time, on behalf of Dave Tamkin and myself. Stay happy, healthy and wealthy. Creativity creates happiness and happiness will nurture creativity. So choose your happiness.

This episode carries content warnings for body horror, descriptions of violence and injury, gun violence, death, and blood. It is said that in the lowest depths of Diadem, deep below the surface of Palisade itself, there exists a network so ancient and so important that the people who named it were right to call it the Fundament. Most who know its name believe that it controls the Diadem itself, and could be key to bringing the long dead city back online. Others suspect that it connects to the train and power lines that run across the planet's continents. And the most superstitious—those who know the Afflictions by name (and claim to know the proper prayers to say to keep them at bay)—believe the Fundament's power goes beyond even that: to the seas, to the skies, to weather, and life itself. It is at the door to this mythical place that the crew of the Blue Channel find themselves now, entwined in battle with Bilateral interlopers and desperate to finish the job they were sent to do. This week on PALISADE: Into the World Pt. 2 Dossier Organizations The Divine Principality: The largest empire in the Milky Way Galaxy, spanning multiple arms and billions of stars. Comprised of five somewhat-autonomous sub-states, the Stels. Currently, the Principality is engaged in wars both external and internal, the prior with their neighbors, the Branched, and the latter a civil war between the competing factions and pretenders to the Princept's throne. The Branched: A post-human society of beings who have transformed their bodies into forms terrifying and spectacular and free—only to have the threat of war force them to rebuild themselves as soldiers first and foremost. After centuries of fighting a purely defensive war, the Branched have now begun to strike into the Principality's territory. Bilateral Intercession: One of two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, comprised by Stels Kesh and Nideo, and lead by the so-called Peaceful Princept, Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh (he/him), who took control of the faction from the Curtain, a secretive intelligence organization with roots in Kesh's ancient spy operations. The “Bilats” are a conservative and reactionary force, aiming to return the Principality to its roots both literally and figuratively. After a long campaign against the Pact of Free States, they managed to take control of Palisade. Stel Kesh: The oldest established power in the galaxy, built around a stuffy (and secretive) aristocracy. They are tied to the Past. History, knowledge, stubbornness. Stel Nideo: Created the largest faith in the empire, and used that influence to shape (and surveil) mass culture. They are tied to the Present. Faith, coercion, stability. The Pact of Free States: One of the two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, a joint operation by Stels Columnar and Apostolos. Led in name by the Glorious Princept, Dahlia (they/them), but operated in day-to-day matters by members of the original Pact of Necessary Venture, including Rye (he/him) and Gallica (she/her). Though they are reformist in some ways, their primary goal is greater autonomy for each Stel, freedom from the legal restraints, taxes, and oversights demanded by the Principality, with additional deregulation to follow downstream. Stel Columnar: A reformist democracy, made up largely of synthetics on the cutting edge of technology, art, politics, and war. They are tied to the Future. Innovation, style, cowardice. Stel Apostolos: A dynamic and diverse military powerhouse, whose dedication to self-expression is eclipsed only by their dedication to violence. They are tied to Motion. Speed, change, violence. The Frontier Syndicate: A powerful conglomerate with a broad purview, including technology, heavy industry, entertainment, telecommunications, and transportation. Led by Exenceaster March (he/him), the Syndicate betrayed the Pact of Free States and joined the Bilats in order to be part of their colonization efforts on Palisade. Stel Orion: An industrial giant that controls more literal space than any other Stel, yet is also the most fragmented, now facing regular internal strife between various corporate powers. Orion is currently the only Stel not involved directly in the galactic civil war, and thus free to operate across every star system. They are tied to Space. Wealth, labor, expansion. Millennium Break: Dissidents, idealogues, rebels, and mercenaries who launched a revolution from Partizan, moon of Girandole. Today, they agree on much, and most of all, this: It is time for a new Millennium. The New Asterism: What was once a schism between Received and Progressive Asterism has now been healed by the false prophet Gur Sevraq (he/they), or at least someone in his name and face. The New Asterism claims that to be a citizen of the Principality is to have an obligation to "better the world," in the sense that one invests in property or in the way that a settler “rehabilitates” or “improves” the places they claim by violence. The Twill: Though many groups have lived on the world of Palisade over the years, the Twil can trace their time on the world back the furthest. Though a first glance appraisal might make one think that their defining trait is the moss that covers much of their bodies and allows them to live on sunlight and water alone, in fact their most unshakable cultural trait is a practice of collaboration, aid, and acceptance. When groups like Advent, Kesh, the New Earth Hegemony, and the Divine Principality left Palisade behind, they often left behind the disaffected or unwanted. It was often, if not always, the Twill who helped these people find sustainable lives on the world, either by blending with the group over generations or through open exchange of goods and information. The Devotees: A church from the Twilgiht Mirage that is committed to the worship of the divine Devotion, which they sometimes refer to as Fervor. Common practices include the regular checking of one's pulse and multi-day group picnic outings. People Kalvin Brnine (they/them): Captain of the Blue Channel, former weapons technician and de facto leader of the Society of Banners and Bright Returns. Apostolosian born, Orion trained, committed to Millennium Break. Thisbe (she/her): A large, humanoid labor robot whose design is based on the ancient Hypha people. Unearthed by farmers and traded between mercenary units, she eventually wound up working for the Society of Banners and Bright Returns and moved on to work with Millennium Break. The Figure in Bismuth (he/they): Once, the Figure was an ordinary, conservative history teacher who was fatally wounded in a conflict on Partizan. After being resurrected by the Witch in Glass, they have become a supernaturally gifted ace pilot. On loan to Millennium Break. Phrygian (they/them): A Branched researcher who arrived on Partizan to investigate something called the True Divine. After being captured by the Pact, they were eventually freed by Millennium Break, which they joined up with. Coriolis Sunset (she/her): Devotee of Devotion and native of the Twilight Mirage, Cori seeks to defend the weak and spread the word of her blessed Divine. Gucci Garantine (she/her): A defector from Stel Kesh, who used the remaining wealth and power of House Brightline to help found Millennium Break. Currently a key member of the resistance efforts on Palisade, and the commander of Millennium Break forces there. Kriminel Kollage (she/her): A young Twill tinkerer, working on a project that few believed would ever work. Places The Diadem: A wide and deep scar dug into Palisade's equator by the early Divine Principality. It promised to be a vast arcology that people could live and work in. Instead, it simply ruined the world. The Shale Belt: A low, resource-filled mountain range in the north-central of Palisade. Home to the Concretists and their revolutionary Concrete Front, a secular and technologically-minded group with roots in the Twilight Mirage. They take their names from favorite artistic works and have blended their bodies with a special concrete (and some respiratory cybernetics) that aids in their breathing. Greenfield: A central territory on Palisade taken over by the Frontier Syndicate. Previously, the fields and streams of this area were home to the Twill. Divines Asepsis (it/its): The final living remnants of a Divine who pursues its particular vision of purity at the cost of everything else. Kept, studied, and utilized by Captain Kalvin Brnine. Mysteries The Fundament: In the depths of the world, further on even than the Diadem… there is the Fundament. The Afflictions: A group of “monstrous” beings that haunt the dark corners of Palisade. The Divine Fleet: A precursor civilization to what would (in part) grow to become the Divine Principality. For thirty thousand, it strived towards Utopian ideals and perhaps, for some time, even achieved them. Things BAC Plough: Forged by the Blessed Armory of the Divine Consecration, the humanoid Plough has a statuesque build that it uses to wield heavy weapons, like a bulldozer-sized claw-scoop or a Heavy Arbalest designed to launch roped harpoons. The Plough's primary purpose is to be Nideo's frontline unit, but it is as valuable after a fight as it is in one. It is used in the destruction and replacement of “old” or “neglected” locations with new Nideo bases and settlements, and as such serves a propagandistic function by demonstrating that “soldier” and “settler” are two sides of the same coin. EF Hauberk: Created by House Evenfall Altarworks, the Haubark is capable of deadly, unpredictable, and striking acts of violence. It is beyond “lanky,” with upper and torso extended, with extra joints and top-flight tensors for added flexibility. Its lower half, though, is an extremely thick tire, allowing it for rapid ingress and egress. It is both covered in and wields restraining chains infused with the nullifying magic used by Kesh, and is able to pin its foes down before finishing them off. Tier III. Approach: Mundane. LMG Gueridon: Designed by the Lone Marble Group for use by Exanceaster March's personal security operations, the Gueridon is a modern siege tower. It walks on four, elegant table-like legs, is protected by an Arcane energy dome above, and is operated from within a vast, circular a carriage compartment, with enchanted portholes that enhance the hand-held weapons of anyone firing from inside out. Also carries an infantry deployment pod. Tier II. Approach: Arcane Chariot Mk. 2: Coriolis' Altar, commonly used among the Devotees. A humanoid mech with an angular frame, pointed shoulders and three rotating halos. The head is covered in eyes, and its body has purple lights running along it in the shape of a circulatory system. A cape hangs over the right arm of the mech and can be cast off when it begins combat The Devil's Two Front Teeth: The Figure in Bismuth's Altar. A tall, angular machine whose posture is hunched down as if it is always ready to pounce. It was originally built without heatsinnks or vents, so the first time the Figure piloted this mech heat and energy exploded out of the frame and left the frame covered in pockmarks and jagged cavities. The most noticeable of these is a chunk missing from its "chin", giving it the appearance of a humanoid body missing its lower jaw with only two long, crooked teeth left in its mouth. As it flashes in and out of the battlefield, the heat and energy that escapes through these gashes sounds like a wailing wind. Tier III. Approach: Profane Mow (he/him): A recovered Zenith-A Project Eudaimonia prototype model, further upgraded with Altar-class technology. The build of a gorilla, quadrupedal & topheavy, a saddle horn-like addition on the back, battered but lovingly maintained. Newly painted. Tier III. Approach: Mundane The Blue Channel:The Blue Channel: Kalvin Brine's corvette-class carrier. Upgraded with Kalmeria-era technology to enhance its basic functionality, along with other quality-of-life features. Tier V. Approach: Mundane. Additional Notes Delegates: In plain terms, Delegates are synthetic individuals created through a process of forcible extraction from a living Divine. Originated by the Fabreal Duchy, who were left behind to "attend to" Palisade by the Divine Principality around 5000 years ago, these Delgates were designed and used as slaves. Currently, a Delegate resistance group called Reunion operates out of the fortress Joyous Guard in the Caldera Stretch.

This episode carries content warnings for ecological disaster, bodily transformation, and death. 5,000 years ago, the Divine Principality sprouted, and immediately began to grow in size and power. Founded on the world of Palisade, at the edge of the Twilight Mirage, the Principality spread across the stars and leaving its roots behind and forgetting their “homeworld” as it was lapped by the colorful clouds of the false nebula. New Divines were born. Old Divines were resurrected. Rivals were conquered or courted. Soon, the only enemy remaining were the Branched, a post-human society from the Golden Branch, whose influence and control spread to the oldest homes of some Principality states. Ten years ago, Dahlia, the Glorious Princept (born to Kesh, then kidnapped by Nideo, then rescued and raised into adulthood by Apostolos), declared themself leader of both Stel Kesh and Apostolos alongside a stunning revelation of the Principality's crimes against Apostolos. Kesh called these claims an Apostolosian ploy for power, and elected a minor noble, Cynosure Whitstar-Kesh as their champion, the Peaceful Princept. Five years ago, on the world of Partizan, open skirmishing between Apostolos and Kesh developed into a galaxy-wide civil war. On one side, the Curtain of Divinity, an ancient intelligence organization aligned with Stels Kesh and Nideo. On the other, Stels Columnar and Apostolos were put under the control of the Pact of Necessary Venture. Stel Orion itself fell into countless smaller internally and internecine conflicts. And between them all, Millennium Break formed—one hope for real change and resistance. Three years ago, outgunned and outclassed by their rivals, the Curtain rebranded as the Bilateral Intercession and began to search for a way to turn the tide in their war. At just the right time, they found it: Palisade. Their ancient staging ground, and perhaps, a way back into the Twilight Mirage, a system that moves out of time, and which holds power beyond compare… Now, the Bilats have taken Palisade and have begun searching for their way to exploit both the planet and its proximity to the Mirage. But resistance groups across Palisade have been joined by Millennium Break and others committed to stopping the Principality in all its forms. And they begin to act today, This week on PALISADE: Into the World Pt. 1 Dossier Organizations The Divine Principality: The largest empire in the Milky Way Galaxy, spanning multiple arms and billions of stars.

Additional Notes Notes on The Five Approaches by Eiden Teak Okay, so more or less, it breaks down like this: There are five “approaches” to how Kalmeria is used. What's Kalmeria? Well, the Kalmeria Revolution kind of bumped up everyone's power level and brought us back to the things were (supposedly) back in the Miraculous Millennium, before the Perennial Wave. “Hey, that's not an answer to what Kalmeria is,” you might say? And to that, I say, shut up, no one really knows how it works. But here's how people make it work (all approach names and sketches tentative): The Null Approach, also called the Mundane Approach uses Kalmeria and the Perennial Wave's natural technological negation attributes to basically nullify and reduce magical effects. Kesh is really keen on this, and so are a lot of us in Millennium Break. A lot of our blue collar folks, especially, like in the Oxblood Clan and Company of the Spade. Kesh weapons and Altars enhanced by the Mundane Approach seem to dampen the sound and light around them, swallowing the impact of incoming blows. The Arcane Approach blends Kalmeria with some of the older sources of power we've had for a while like our Chorus Bond, a Twilight Mirage resource called “Q-Glass,” Hyphan strati tech, or the Memoria which Columnar stole from us. In brief, it's very "device" oriented: For us, that means lots of staves, orbs, cybertomes, alchemical potions—classic conduits of power, yeah? For Columnar and the Frontier Syndicate, they often use independently moving, choreographed lots of bits, funnels, and drones—all of which produce with strange visual phenomena, like eye floaters and optical auras. The Divine Approach uses Kalmeria as a medium for calling on the power of a Divine directly and immediately. Whether that's from Nideo and the other Stels or from the Divines of the Mirage, it seems very paternalistic, but that's just my view. It really just escalates the familiar way Divines blessed Hallows, extending it to their pilots. You know: Glowing skin; fiery auras. Living wings. Both on the pilot & the mech. Nideo stuff looks statuesque and angelic. Mirage Divines are less humanoid by default, and seem to be more insectoid than normal. You can tell the difference between Nideo Divine magic and the Mirage's use because the former always smells—units report a near endless list odors associated with Nidean Altars, including ash, incense, sugar, mint, sulfur. The Profane Approach uses Kalmeria in a way similar to Motion did—which frankly, I don't love— to even more easily create things out of the raw Perennial Wave: Gaseous particles cohering and then solidifying into forms. Damaged armor bursts into liquid, then gets reformed on the simple frame. Melee weapons change shape and dimension as needed. Ranged weapons need no ammo, as it's generated by the Demiurge Engine. Used by lead companies of Stel Orion, who were allowed to salvage parts of Motion from the salvage field above Partizan since they weren't directly involved in our fight there. But also used by the Crown of Glass, whose witch has a direct relationship with Perennial. When Orion Altars are on the field, you might find yourself tasting blood or berries or something even stranger. Finally, the Elemental Approach brings together Kalmeria and the capabilities of the Branched to blend the outside world with the inside person. For the Branched themselves, this has brought them in closer conscious/experiential contact with both nature and society—those that choose to tap into Kalmeria find that they literally feel the world more. The Apostolosians, meanwhile, have performed some truly dark research on the Branched, and have used the results to reshape themselves and their war machines directly—in some way, becoming more like their hated enemies the Branched, though they haven't seemed to notice. The result is that they adopt parts of the environment as expressions of themselves in both their altars and their bodies: Summoning shields of ice, firing lightning or fire from their limbs, turning their flesh to stone, even calling storms into clear days—and when they do, nearby people ungrounded physical sensations: a finger down their back, an itch they cannot scratch, or something stuck in their eye.

Show Notes: In today's episode, I talk about financial aid and the comically high cost of college. What's the difference between need-based aid, merit-based aid, and how Tier II colleges intentionally inflate their cost of attendance only to offer big discounts (disguised as a merit or academic scholarships) to make parents and students feel good about themselves and about paying $60K/year to attend.

In reviewing some schools' RTI plans, a standardized reading achievement test is used as a screening device. Students are put in Tiers I, II, or III reading intervention groups based on their percentile ranking on standardized tests. For example, if you're in the 10th percentile or below, you go to Tier III, the 40th percentile or below you go to Tier II, and the 60th percentile or below you go to Tier I.When you live in the world of standardized tests and percentile rankings, there is a normal distribution of scores that is beautifully displayed in the bell-shaped curve. Here, half the population is reading below average. That's called a normal population or a normal distribution of scores. But if everybody was reading above average, eventually average would become below average and above average would become average, and below average would become really below average. In a normal distribution of scores, half the students in a school should score below average. That's called normal. That doesn't mean that we don't give each and every student the help they need so that they're reading, writing, and doing math at their very best. We want all students to achieve grade-level standards. It is an excellent goal, but at the same time, it's an unrealistic goal.

Dave talks about a team that won the best uniforms in youth hockey.

Scanner School - Everything you wanted to know about the Scanner Radio Hobby
The Anytone TT-878UVII Plus is a very popular Amateur Radio used for DMR. Since it also covers outside the VHF and UHF Ham Band and covers DMR, it could be used to scan some conventional traffic. Or can it? Let's discuss using this popular radio for scanning and decide if this radio is worth adding to our scanner radio collection. What You Need To Know Since DMR is included out of the box, this could be a cheaper alternative to buying a Digital Radio with the optional DMR upgrade Out of the box, t transmits and receives 136-174 MHz and 400-480 MHz on US models. However, expanding the range to 520 MHz is a simple modification you can do via software. DMR support is limited to Tier I and Tier II, which means it will work fine for simplex and repeater DMR transmissions. It supports both TS1 and TS2 Promiscuous can be set so the radio will monitor any Talk Group that is transmitting. Some of the Anytone radios will transmit APRS, but this radio UVII plus will receive APRS packets, and you don't need to be an amateur radio operator to receive APRS. The UVII Plus includes Bluetooth and mine included a BT PTT Button in the box. It has got plenty of room in there for conventional memories supporting 4000 memory locations. Memories are broken down into a maximum of 250 zones with 250 memories per zone. You can store 500,000 DMR Radio IDs in Memory. DMR programming supports 10,000 Talk Group IDs While not type accepted to do so, if one was inclined, you could program this radio for FRS and GMRS use. The Anytone 878 supports Dual Receive, which is something we are long overdue for on a scanner radio. This means you can put two frequencies or two memories on display and hear them both simultaneously. In addition to VHF and UHF frequencies, you can also monitor FM Broadcast. PL, DPL, and CC are all supported. 2-Tone and 5/6 Tone Paging are supported as well. Think of using this as a fire pager or to mute the radio until tones are transmitted. One of my biggest complaints about scanning with this radio is that it is a pain in the neck to go and change through the scan list. Scanning is very slow when compared to a traditional scanner You can only put 50 memories into a single scan list ====================================

Matt Waldman's RSP Cast discusses his tiers for the 2022 NFL Draft Running Back prospects — a class with a lot of high-ceiling backs — and covers what matters in is scouting of the position. Reminder: If you haven't already, please check out John Hodgins' GoFundMe story. He and his wife tried to recover on their own from a violent crime that cost them their retirement home and have been living day-to-day for too long. Even sharing their GoFundMe can be helpful, so please visit, read his story, and donate. I have. This week's Pod: Why the state of the NFL running back and this class generates an odd situation. Why this class could be as good as as the Barkley-Chubb or McCaffrey-Fournette classes but has a trap-door floor. Defining and explaining the details of vision, mobility, acceleration vs. speed, and contact balance. Notable positives and flaws from Tier I. The difficult evals, boom-bust athletes, and sneaky technicians from a large Tier II. The fit-based backs of Tier III: A natural, a bulldozer with sweet feet, and a do-it-all back who just might not do any of it well enough. Two Tier III options might be late bloomers. Players I didn't like as much as the billing I've seen on them. Players who have something to their games that might help them surprise as contributors or quality reserves. For the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), download the 2022 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95. Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge. Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat sexual abuse.
