Well, folks… he's done it. Taking advantage of Travis's absence during the recording window, our Jakey has made his longtime dream a reality by turning this podcast into a video game review pod. Unfortunately for Jake, this dream would quickly become a bug-ridden, Groundhog Day nightmare. Hot off the heels of the related QAA movie night and joined by Liv and Julian, Jake takes us on a journey through the suffering he endured while trying to beat the Citizen Vigilante video game. So, dear listener, get ready to push left to go right as we navigate this low-res, racist mess together.

In this episode of the Beyond Retirement podcast, Jacquie Doucette speaks with corporate anthropologist Dr. Andi Simon about why retirement is far more complex than simply leaving work. Drawing on decades of research and interviews, Dr. Simon explains how retirement often creates an identity gap between who we were during our careers and who we are becoming next.The conversation explores how people navigate this transition, why freedom without structure can feel draining, and how curiosity, community, and intentional design can help retirees build meaningful lives beyond their careers.Key Topics CoveredRetirement as a cultural and identity transitionWhy freedom without structure can feel unexpectedly drainingThe stages of retirement: honeymoon, awakening, and restructuringThe importance of curiosity and experimentation after leaving workHow retirees rebuild purpose and communityHow organizations could better prepare employees for retirementTImestamps00:00 Introduction and what a corporate anthropologist studies04:00 Why retirement is such a complex cultural transition11:00 What successful retirement transitions have in common18:00 Curiosity, identity, and asking the deeper “why” questions22:00 What organizations could do differently about retirement25:00 Reframing retirement as a stage of becoming33:00 Advice for people struggling with the transitionGuest Links:Website: https://www.andisimon.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andisimonBook: Rethink Retirement, https://www.amazon.com/dp/1636184278READY TO RAMP UP YOUR RETIREMENT JOURNEY?Start here: https://beyondretirement.ca/start-here/Book a FREE call with Jacquie: https://calendly.com/jacquiedoucette/discoveryCheck out the Beyond Retirement Library: https://placeforbooks.com**************Don't forget to check out Aging With Purpose and Passion.

18 months into JCBA negotiations, talks have slowed with key sticking points around pay banding for larger narrowbodies, vacation and sick leave provisions, and other cost and control items. The Transition and Process Agreement (TPA) is guiding how new and growth aircraft are assigned—recently assigning 737 freighters to Alaska pilots and an A330 freighter to Hawaiian pilots until seniority list integration (SLI). The TPA protects minimum fleet and block-hour levels for each pilot group until SLI, complicating plans to replace Hawaiian 717s with 737-800s in Honolulu. If the JCBA is ratified, SLI could take up to about 13 months to complete; next negotiation meetings are scheduled for August 18–19. Pilots are encouraged to stay engaged through updates and local events.

X2M.259 — PORCHE: The Entrance of Post-Exilic Habitation Porche is the covered entrance into a house or sacred building. It follows Parvis within Esplanade. Allée formed the fathered corridor; Parvis purified trust at the threshold; Porche brings the traveler under the covering of the house. Transition becomes homecoming, and exile yields to habitation. Psalm 23 frames Porche. Yahweh, the covenant-keeping Shepherd, breaks agreement with lack, fear, loneliness, and an anxious future. He restores the soul, leads through the darkest valley, prepares the table, and pursues his people with goodness until they dwell in his house forever. Pain, trauma, and patterns embedded in memory come under new creation. The wound may explain the past, but it no longer encodes the future.¹ Mark reveals two opposing movements. FARE is faith, adversity, rest, and expansion: adversity becomes formation, rest replaces performance, and life expands through grace. TARE is toil, anxiety, resentment, and emptiness: anxious effort producing fear, offense, and exhaustion. Porche is where the soul leaves that circuit and receives Christ's purchased life.² The teaching then identifies post-exilic habitation, or coming home. Home begins not when circumstances resemble it, but when separation is revealed to be over. Moses called the Lord Israel's dwelling place without entering the promised land. David would not settle in his house until he had sought a resting place for God. Home is where God rests in the person and the person rests in God.³ This clarifies the movement from Pentecost toward Tabernacles. Signs, healing, deliverance, and visitation are good, but they are not the destination. The Father seeks habitation: dwelling within people and bringing each into union without erasing identity., forming and filling the soul as a place of rest. Philemon supplies the household pattern. Paul writes from prison, yet exile does not govern him. Though he has authority, he chooses appeal over command because friendship is the proper environment for transformation. Onesimus, once viewed through uselessness, slavery, wrong, or debt, returns as a beloved brother and spiritual son. Paul offers to carry the cost. Grace changes his standing and teaches the household to receive him according to who he has become in Christ.⁴ The Eucharistic conclusion shows how habitation is entered. To discern the body is to perceive one another by the Spirit, not reduce anyone to wounded history, former failure, or slave identity. Sons and daughters are reconciled; hidden identities emerge; and those formed by rejection discover they are useful, valuable, delighted in, and wanted. Communion declares that Christ has carried the debt, broken alienation, and made the exiles one household.⁵ Porche is the entrance of restored belonging. The Shepherd replaces lack with abundance; trauma loses authority; toil gives way to rest; visitation becomes habitation; authority becomes loving appeal; and the slave is received as a son. The announcement is personal and corporate: the exile is over. God has prepared a home and opened the way for his children to receive one another as he receives them. ⸻ Glorification | The Final Frontier Going boldly where the last man has gone before!

An unexpected day off turns into an unexpectedly thoughtful (and hilarious) episode. In Episode 203 of Play It by Ear, the hosts kick things off with a warm welcome and a quick catch-up—then dive into the “serious part,” unpacking how easy it is to judge people without knowing what they're dealing with. Just when it gets a little too real, they flip the switch into pure fun, complete with a cheeky Taylor Swift moment and a reminder to follow along on social. A surprise day off and where the conversation goes from there. Why judging others' circumstances is almost always missing key context. The intentional tone shift from deep to delightfully unserious. A playful Taylor Swift mention you'll hear coming (and still laugh at). Social media plugs, banter, and classic Play It by Ear energy.

In this video, Prof. Spira breaks down why the Transition Diet is the practical foundation of the Mucusless Diet Healing System, and why long fasts are not the first step in becoming healthy.

Vanessa Havard-Williams OBE explores how the UK is building a credible transition finance market, from stronger policy and transition planning to public finance, insurance and investable projects. Financing the transition to a low carbon economy is often presented as a question of capital: how much money is needed, where it should come from, and which technologies or projects should receive it. But the reality is more complicated. Finance cannot drive the transition in isolation. Companies will only invest at scale where the economics make sense, investors still need an appropriate return, and government policy plays a crucial role in shaping whether transition opportunities are commercially viable. There are also difficult questions around what credible transition finance actually looks like. How should financial institutions support high emitting companies as they decarbonise? How can they distinguish genuine transition from greenwashing? And how can new technologies and first of a kind projects overcome the barriers that often prevent private capital from flowing? That's why this episode explores: What transition finance means, and why clear definitions and credible transition plans matter; Why effective real economy policy is essential if capital is to flow at the scale required; And how government, financial institutions, public finance and insurance can work together to remove barriers and support a whole economy transition. ---------------- Links from this Episode: Scaling Transition Finance: Findings of the Transition Finance Market Review: https://www.theglobalcity.uk/insights/scaling-transition-finance From Planetary Hazard to Financial Stability: Disentangling Climate Risk and Institutional Responsibility (Lisa Sachs Report): https://ccsi.columbia.edu/from-planetary-hazard-to-financial-stability-disentangling-climate-risk-and-institutional-responsibility/ Investor Climate Action: What Finance Can and Can't Achieve (Tom Gosling Interview): https://www.garp.org/podcast/investor-climate-action-what-finance-can-and-cant-achieve ---------------- To find out more about the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate, follow this link: https://www.garp.org/scr For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Global Sustainability and Climate Risk Resource Centre: https://www.garp.org/sustainability-climate If you have any questions, thoughts, or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com ------------------ Today's Speaker Vanessa Havard-Williams OBE is the Senior Independent Director of UK Export Finance and Chair of the UK Export Guarantee Advisory Council.

Aujourd'hui, dans "Esprits Libres", Augustin Lefebvre reçoit Soazig Quemener, rédactrice en chef de la Tribune Dimanche, et Nicolas Baverez, avocat, économiste et historien. Ensemble, ils analysent en profondeur la crise des incendies qui frappe la FranceAlors que le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu a demandé à sa ministre de la Transition écologique, Monique Barbut, de lui présenter de nouvelles mesures pour accélérer le plan d'adaptation au changement climatique, nos experts examinent les enjeux et les défis auxquels le gouvernement doit faire face.Nicolas Baverez souligne que les feux de forêt d'une ampleur inédite, comme celui qui a ravagé 42 000 hectares en Gironde, ne devraient plus être une surprise. Il pointe du doigt les carences de l'État, qui ne s'est pas assez rapidement adapté à cette nouvelle menace. Selon lui, l'organisation et la doctrine sont restées les mêmes, avec un manque criant de moyens aériens notamment. Soazig Quemener renchérit en soulignant les contradictions de l'État, entre un Code de l'environnement qui interdit le débroussaillage et un Code forestier qui l'exige. Elle estime que le gouvernement doit désormais sortir de cet « immobilisme » et prendre des décisions rapides pour protéger les populations et les territoires.Les deux invités s'interrogent sur la capacité du gouvernement actuel, avec un temps limité avant la prochaine élection présidentielle, à mettre en place les changements nécessaires. Ils soulignent l'urgence d'une véritable politique de sécurité face aux risques climatiques, en remettant en cause certaines dépenses publiques jugées inefficaces.Au-delà des moyens, c'est toute une « culture de la sécurité » que la France doit retrouver, selon Nicolas Baverez, à l'image de ce qui s'est passé lors de l'évacuation réussie du Cap Ferret. Soazig Quemener abonde dans ce sens, estimant qu'il faut désormais « accepter de céder du terrain » pour protéger les populations, en concertation avec les acteurs locaux.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett talks with Oakley owner-operator Eddie Wormsbacher about his path from working in his dad's kids' furniture business in Michigan to hauling 160,000 lb heavy loads and eventually becoming a dry bulk owner operator at Oakley Trucking. Eddie shares how the collapse of the family business pushed him into trucking in 2010, his early struggles as a company driver, and the scary leap into owning his own truck, including the financial risk, maintenance realities, and insurance challenges. He opens up about balancing life on the road with a 30-year marriage, three kids, and a new grandchild, as well as how his background in customer service shapes the way he treats shippers, receivers, and Oakley's reputation. Throughout the conversation, Eddie and Jeremy highlight key takeaways about discipline with money, the importance of safety and dealing with distracted drivers, Oakley's high expectations and support, and why real success as an owner operator comes down to mindset, responsibility, and family priorities.

Headline: The Venezuelan Transition and the Shield of the Americas Guest: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Summary: Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez has received unexpected praise from President Trump, causing concern among opposition members who view her as a gangster. Alejandro Peña Esclusa argues that Rodriguez is a repressive figure and suggests a reconstruction government of experts instead. Meanwhile, Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro seeks to join the "Shield of the Americas" to combat regional criminal gangs and support a democratic transition in Venezuela.
Cris Bazan grew up in Texas, started gang banging as a young teenager, and eventually started his own street gang with his brother before a nine year sentence in the Texas state prison system at 17 years old pulled him into the Texas Syndicate — setting off 20 years of life inside some of the most violent correctional facilities in the country. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he describes what the Texas prison system looked like in the early 2000s, what starting wars with gangs like Tango Blast actually involved, what getting confirmed and validated as a Texas Syndicate member meant and what getting sent to the SHU after validation really looked like, and how violent the state system was during that era. He also opens up about catching a federal sentence after his release, spending five years in the toughest federal penitentiaries in the United States, and what the difference between state and federal prison as a Texas Syndicate member really revealed about which world was more dangerous. _____________________________________________ #texas #truecrimecommunity #prison _____________________________________________ Connect with Cris Bazan: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@crisbazan956?si=TdKdn0F5XQio-fLu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1MDHYTuCuD/?mibextid=wwXIfr TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@crisbazan956?_r=1&_t=ZP-97vDdgMbs4N Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crisbazan956?igsh=MXByeG4xeHppa2l0eA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introducing Cris Bazan's Story 01:00 Upbringing, Family, and Early Gangs 05:00 Creating N2P and First Gang Experiences 10:00 Entering Prison and Joining Texas Syndicate 16:00 Prison Politics and Survival Tactics 21:00 Gang Wars, Rivalries, and Institutional Life 27:00 Solitary Confinement and Its Impact 36:00 Transition to Federal Prison Life 41:00 Life and Politics in Federal Prison 46:00 Transfers, Riots, and Prison Hierarchies 52:00 Life After Release & Reintegration Challenges 01:01:00 Family, Regret, and Hopes for the Future 01:09:00 Plans, Reflection, and Final Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Why do projects get stuck? This summer I developed new curriculum around this question, and on today's podcast I'm sharing a concept from that new curriculum: transition friction. Many stuck writing projects can be explained by the resistance we feel transitioning from one phase of the project to another. In this podcast you will learn: Why transition points cause friction. How to get over the friction to keep your writing project moving. How embracing the discomfort of transition friction can liberate you from feeling stuck.

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Account Management. Today, we are getting into something every brand needs to hear - because what you think you know about your media performance might be complete fiction. We're talking about the 2026 measurement crisis. The moment when the gap between what your dashboards say and what your account shows has become impossible to ignore. And to help us make sense of it all, we have two incredible guests from the Acadia team with us: Sally Kazin, Head of Analytics, and Ross Walker, Director of Retail Media. Let's dive in! Quote: The gap between the dashboard numbers and the ground truth has become impossible to ignore. Sally Kazin KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Sally, and Ross discuss: The growing "measurement crisis" in ecommerce, where platform-reported revenue often exceeds actual sales due to duplicated attribution claims across channels Transition from reliable observation-based tracking to a world of estimation and modeling, driven by privacy changes and a fragmented platform landscape The challenges posed by siloed data, platform biases, and engine inflation in retail media and traditional paid channels Widespread overreliance on ROAS as a North Star metric and the pitfalls of "ROAS jail" for both brands and CFOs The limitations and decline of Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA), and why Acadia now deploys a three-pillar measurement framework The importance of glass box (transparent) models over black box or "off the shelf" solutions, balancing science and business art in measurement Pairing MMM with real-world incrementality tests for a self-correcting measurement loop How to communicate with CFOs and senior leadership about marketing impact, translating platform metrics into true business outcomes and incremental revenue The evolution of MMM: from slow, backward-looking models to AI-enabled, forward-looking, and more frequent scenario planning Practical questions for brands to gut-check their measurement strategy, such as verifying if summed platform-attributed revenue exceeds actual sales Common flags of broken retail media measurement, and the need to match ad spend and goals to brand objectives rather than vanity KPIs

In Episode 525 of Fishing Without Bait, Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Vic Costik for Part 1 of a conversation about community, authenticity, connection, and finding the courage to become more fully yourself. Vic is a designer, community advocate, and the creator of New Rust, a podcast exploring Pittsburgh's transformation through the individual stories of people doing interesting things throughout the city. Growing up surrounded by the enormous crowds of New York City, Vic expected proximity to people to create connection. Instead, it was moving to Pittsburgh that showed him what community could truly feel like. Vic talks with Jim about discovering Pittsburgh's LGBTQ community, building a found family, participating in the city's creative and wonderfully unusual spaces, and realizing how helping others can create a support network in return. From jam nights and local zines to simply meeting people doing something they care about, Vic explains why Pittsburgh's smaller communities became so important to him. The conversation also explores judgment, curiosity, and what can happen when we approach unfamiliar experiences with a willingness to listen instead of immediately forming conclusions. Vic shares stories of talking with coworkers who had little or no previous experience with transgender people and choosing conversation as an opportunity to create understanding. Vic also reflects candidly on his own journey toward authenticity. He discusses growing up without the language to understand what he was experiencing, repressing parts of himself, getting married to his high school sweetheart, and eventually recognizing that the life he was living did not feel like his own. As Vic puts it, transitioning allowed him to “meet myself for the 1st time.” What followed was more than a change in identity. Vic discovered a version of himself who loves being around people, participating in his community, sharing ideas, and embracing the wonderfully weird interests that make each person unique. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Vic Costik. The conversation continues in the next episode of Fishing Without Bait. Learn more about Vic's New Rust podcast at NewRustPodcast.com.

Dr. Scott Walter is Director of Technology Transfer and Transition for the 59th Medical Wing of the Defense Health Agency located in San Antonio, Texas. The development of freeze-dried blood is a ground-breaking technology aimed at enabling medics to administer lifesaving blood transfusions at the point of injury. Scott highlights the logistical challenges of current blood products such as short shelf life, blood matching, and the need for cold storage, which this new technology would overcome. One of his current missions is to launch a prize competition to accelerate research, development, and commercialization of this technology, shifting the financial risk from the government to industry and expanding the uses of this product to dramatically improve survival rates and reduce long-term complications. Scott explains, "Donated blood is very perishable lasting only about six weeks from the date of collection, and it must be maintained just above freezing until it's needed. And then it has to be warmed to body temperature before it can be infused. That makes it really difficult to impossible for medics to carry blood products with them when they're treating patients in remote austere locations like battlefields, for example." "Well, the key is that freeze-drying enables the donated blood components to be collected, stored, and stockpiled for years after collection. The freeze-dried blood products can be carried by EMS units and medics. Then, once reconstituted, it can be given anywhere without the need for refrigeration." #TraumaCare #EmergencyMedicine #PrehospitalCare #CriticalCare #TransfusionMedicine #MilitaryMedicine #Innovation #FreezeDriedBlood #PatientOutcomes #GlobalHealth DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this podcast transcript are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Defense Health Agency, Department of War, nor the U.S. Government.

John Batchelor introduces Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium, to discuss the transition from the death of Julius Caesar to the rise of Augustus. Strauss identifies Plutarch and Cassius Dio as the primary historical sources, noting they had access to earlier, now-lost records. The discussion focuses on three main figures: Mark Antony, Octavian, and Cleopatra. At Caesar's death, Mark Antony was a consul and Caesar's lieutenant, hailing from the high Roman nobility. In contrast, Octavian (later Augustus) came from an equestrian family but gained status as Caesar's great-nephew and adopted heir. While Antony was a seasoned warrior, Octavian focused on political acumen. The Second Triumvirate, consisting of Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus, was formed to punish Caesar's assassins, leading to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, where Antony emerged as the hero while Octavian struggled.

Danielle Vandehei is a world-schooling sailor mum who, with her husband and son, spent the last four years building a life around sailing, exploration and learning through experience.Danielle shares how a breaking point on land — a demanding job, a young child, and a longing for more intentional time together — pushed the family to sell their home, their farm animals, and nearly everything they owned to learn to sail from scratch. She's honest about the messy, non-linear reality behind that decision: budget overruns, a house that took a year to sell, a stint in a minivan through Mexico, and plenty of "we're not in alignment yet, that's okay" moments along the way.How does education actually works aboard their boat — starting not with a curriculum, but with deschooling themselves as parents first. Danielle explains how her son learns numbers through fishing, reading through his fish identification book, and social confidence through navigating world-school hubs full of kids of every age and language.Danielle has created Water World Micro Expeditions, the family's new venture inviting other families aboard to experience sailing, marine life, and reconnection with nature in San Blas, Panama — plus where their vision is headed next.Key TakeawaysDeschool the parent first. Before a child can learn differently, the adult often has to unlearn their own assumptions about what "proper" education looks like.Follow the interest, not the age bracket. Danielle's son learns to read through a fish identification book and does mental math through abacus — because those are his interests, not a set curriculum.Learning is 0 to 99, not 5 to 18. There's no finish line — removing the pressure of a deadline changes how both kids and adults relate to learning.Nothing about this life was linear. Selling a 40-acre property took eight months; the house took a year to sell; they went from camper to minivan to boat and back again. Alignment came in its own time.Resilience is the standout FIRE value here — the willingness to stay in motion through setbacks (a blown transmission, a slow house sale) rather than let fear shut the plan down.Social confidence grows through real exposure, not curriculum: Danielle's son now approaches kids and adults of any age or language unprompted, something she attributes directly to years of varied, real-world interaction.Community over content. Water World Micro Expeditions isn't about replicating school on a boat — it's about giving families a lived experience of sailing, marine life, and reconnecting with themselves and each other.Chapters:00:02 - Introduction to World Schooling04:15 - Transition to a New Way of Living09:51 - Transitioning to a New Lifestyle16:38 - Deschooling and Adapting to New Learning Environments27:47 - Nurturing Well-Being in Education34:22 - Connecting with Nature and Learning through Experience37:50 - Building a Vision for Water Worldhttps://waterworldmicroexpeditions.com/Facebook Danielle Marie VandeheiIG- Legacy_throughmotherhood

On June 17th the LA skyline was disturbed by a cloud of thick smoke emanating from a cold storage warehouse fire in Boyle Heights. This resulted in a Fallout 76 style rat infestation, biblical swarms of flies, and the putrid stench of rotting meat filling every home in the surrounding area. After a brief overview of the fire, Liv begins this episode with a few references to the hit show Chernobyl and then follows up with a few more references to the hit show Chernobyl before taking a look at the city's lackluster response to the fire and the cleanup operation that ensued. Later, Jake discusses a few of the conspiracies that have emerged in the wake of the fires. So, dear listener, grab your Stimpacks and Radaway and prepare for another QAA classic.
