Never hold a thought, never drop the Thread.Watch and listen to your mind. Notice when it's doing what it does. Notice its judgements, criticisms, projections, conclusions. Don't react. Don't respond. Don't try to stop them. Just notice. And then notice what else is present. Listen to the Silence that the thoughts are coming and going in. Feel that Silence... Joy, Love... the Bliss of the Self. When you feel this Bliss, It puts the thoughts on transparency mode (like your noise canceling headphones). Now you're no longer hypnotized by thinking... It's not the only thing you can hear. Now you can also hear the Silence! You can feel the Thread. And It feels good. Don't drop It.I love you,NikTo claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com! Join us on Patreon to support the show!

You have the right; it's your inner domain. But instead of finding silence, you're going to listen to incessant chatter: “Why am I doing this? I have more important things to do. This is a waste of time. There's nobody in here but me. What's this all about?”Right on cue, there's your roommate. You may have a clear intention to be quiet inside, but your roommate won't cooperate. And it's not just when you try to be quiet. It has something to say about everything you look at: “I like it. I don't like it. This is good. That's bad.” It just talks and talks. You don't generally notice because you don't step back from it. You're so close that you don't realize that you're actually hypnotized into listening to it. Basically, you're not alone in there. There are two distinct aspects of your inner being. The first is you, the awareness, the witness, the center of your willful intentions; and the other is that which you watch. The problem is, the part that you watch never shuts up. If you could get rid of that part, even for a moment, the peace and serenity would be the nicest vacation you've ever had."-Singer, Michael A.. The Untethered Soul (p. 17)

Top Stories for August 2nd Publish Date: August 2nd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 2nd and Happy Birthday to Carroll O’Connor I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Plus, the Stripers report with JR Ritchie, starter in the MLB All-Star Futures Game and the Braves’ No. 2 prospect All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! ---------------------- Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG ---------------------- STORY 1: State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk  Cobb County Court Clerk Connie Taylor was indicted Thursday, accused of ordering the destruction of government emails and financial records in 2022. The charges? Two counts each of destroying public records and violating her oath of office. The allegations stem from an open records request in October 2022. Taylor allegedly told an employee to delete the documents. Calls to Taylor’s office Thursday? Dodged. One staffer even forwarded a call to a local newspaper. The GBI and Carr’s White Collar and Cyber Crime Unit presented evidence to a grand jury, leading to the indictment. For now, Taylor is presumed innocent, but the case has echoes of a 2019 conviction Carr secured against a former Atlanta press secretary for delaying open records. Transparency, it seems, remains a battle. STORY 2: Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 If you live in Dacula or Buford, you’ve got bragging rights—both suburbs just ranked among the safest in America, according to a new study by SmartAsset. Dacula snagged the No. 5 spot, with Buford right behind at No. 6. Not bad, right? The study looked at everything from violent and property crime rates to traffic deaths, drug overdoses, and even excessive drinking. Dacula’s numbers? Just 0.0017 violent crimes per capita and 0.0062 property crimes. Buford wasn’t far off, but Dacula edged it out. Both cities tied in other categories, like traffic deaths (9.34 per 100,000) and overdose rates. Oh, and housing? Dacula’s median monthly cost is $1,547, while Buford’s is a bit lower at $1,300. Georgia had a few other cities in the rankings—Canton at No. 20, Acworth at 63—but Dacula and Buford are clearly leading the pack. STORY 3: Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Georgia Power is making big moves, asking state regulators to greenlight nearly 10,000 megawatts of new energy projects. That’s a lot of power—enough to keep millions of homes and businesses running, no matter the weather. Most of it—about 8,000 megawatts—comes from projects already approved in 2022, including natural gas plants, solar paired with batteries, and standalone battery storage systems. Another 1,886 megawatts comes from this year’s plans, with similar projects in the mix. But not everyone’s thrilled. Environmental groups argue the new gas turbines double down on fossil fuels instead of pushing harder for renewables. Still, Georgia Power is leaning into battery storage, with projects underway in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd, and Cherokee counties—and more on the way.

We’ll be right back ---------------------- Break 2: Ingles Markets ---------------------- STRIPERS INTERVIEW STORY 6: GCPS Community-Based Mentoring Program seeking volunteers The Gwinnett County Public Schools Community-Based Mentoring Program is on the hunt for 200 volunteers to step up and mentor students during the 2025-26 school year. Now in its 16th year, the program has already made a huge impact—last year alone, it supported over 2,550 students in grades 4-12. “It was one of our best years yet,” says James Rayford, the program’s director. They reached every high school, middle school, and all 20 clusters, with a 100% graduation rate for two years running. This year? They’re aiming even higher, adding job-shadowing and internships to the mix. The idea is simple but powerful: one caring adult can change a child’s life. Volunteers can mentor one-on-one or in small groups, helping students build confidence, communication skills, and a sense of belonging. STORY 7: Beyond the classroom: GGC interns gain invaluable real-world experience Summer internships aren’t just résumé fluff—they’re where classroom theory meets the messy, unpredictable real world. For Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) students, it’s a chance to figure out what they love (or don’t) and grow in ways they didn’t expect. Take Kimberly Ramirez, a senior marketing major. “I thought marketing was just ads and social media,” she admits. Turns out, it’s strategy, planning, and making decisions that actually matter. Her internship at InTouch Financial Group? A game-changer. She even runs bilingual webinars—Marketing Monday—teaching agents how to market themselves. Then there’s Joceyln Rubio-Camacho, a finance major. Forget the cubicle stereotype. At Majors Management, she’s learned accounting is as much about people as it is spreadsheets. For cinema major Tony Arreaga, interning at Crazy Legs Production in Atlanta has been a whirlwind. One day he’s hauling props in a box truck; the next, he’s designing sets for a Netflix documentary. “It’s a lot like the Marines,” says the 10-year veteran. “Managing people, equipment, locations—it’s all about discipline.” And Emily Zboran? She’s diving into project management at Majors Management, juggling tasks solo while her bosses travel. “I’ve learned to prioritize, organize, and trust myself,” she says. The takeaway? Internships are tough to land, but worth it.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses the ongoing controversy surrounding the SIG P320 pistol, including its safety concerns and the public's perception of the firearm. Joined by Paul Markle, they analyze SIG's responses to recent incidents involving the P320, the implications for military and law enforcement use, and the broader impact on gun rights and safety. The conversation emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in the firearms industry, as well as the need for responsible gun ownership and training. Takeaways The SIG P320 controversy has been ongoing for years. Public perception can significantly impact gun sales and usage. Negligent discharges often lead to blame being placed on the firearm. The military's use of the P320 is under scrutiny after a tragic incident. Transparency from manufacturers is crucial for consumer trust. Gun safety training is essential for all firearm owners. The role of law enforcement in handling firearm incidents is complex. Fan loyalty to gun brands can cloud judgment on safety issues. The importance of rigorous testing for military-grade firearms cannot be overstated. Public discussions about gun safety should be open and fair. Keywords Armed American Radio, SIG P320, gun safety, military, law enforcement, public perception, negligent discharge, gun rights, NRA, Paul Markle

Virginia Giuffre's family has been vocal in their criticism of both the delay and the selective nature of the Epstein file disclosures. They've expressed deep frustration that the system seems more interested in protecting reputations than delivering justice. According to public remarks made by her father and close family, the so-called “Epstein files” have been curated in a way that shields the most powerful figures involved while offering only token transparency. They argue that the redactions and omissions in these releases are a continuation of the cover-up, and that the victims deserve full access to the unfiltered truth—not a censored version designed to protect elites. For the family, justice is being doled out in fragments, and every delay or watered-down disclosure adds to the pain endured by the survivors.When asked about the Epstein case and the release of the files, Donald Trump has repeatedly attempted to minimize both his personal ties to Epstein and the importance of the files themselves. Most recently, Trump downplayed the documents by calling them a "hoax" and claiming the media only cares because they want to connect him to Epstein, even though he supposedly had a falling out with the disgraced financier years ago. He has consistently insisted he “wasn't a fan” of Epstein, despite photographic evidence, party attendance, and years of social overlap. Trump's dismissive tone has angered many Epstein survivors and their advocates, including Giuffre's family, who view his statements as part of a larger strategy to discredit the victims and muddy the waters around what should be a straightforward reckoning with the truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virginia Giuffre's family says she would have wanted Epstein documents released | CNN Politics

"Why can't you just tell me the price???" Have you been victim of a vendor who insists on a lengthy meeting before they will provide you a price range for their services?  This can be incredibly annoying when you are simply trying to determine if something is within your budget, or not. I have some advice for navigating this frustrating situation, including a copy / paste script for your inquiry emails: Hi, we are very motivated to choose a photographer {insert service here} for our {insert date here} May 2027 wedding.  {insert how you found them, what sparked your interest}.  Will you kindly share your package options and pricing?   If the response indicates that you need to book a meeting / call for more info, then simply send a firm response: Out of respect for both of our time, I need to confirm your pricing range before moving forward.   Simple, right? Stick around for a handful of listeners questions, including a convo on how much to tip which vendors.  Spoiler alert - it's NOT an automatic 20% to your entire vendor team. Wedding questions or show topics you'd like to hear more about?  I have an open door, and would love to hear from you! >>> weddingplanningpodcast.co/contact   Talk soon! Kara

As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly interwoven with third-party code, APIs, and AI-generated components, organizations are realizing they can't ignore the origins—or the risks—of their software. Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Evangelist at LevelBlue, joins Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli to unpack why software supply chain visibility has become a top concern not just for CISOs, but for CEOs as well.Drawing from LevelBlue's Data and AI Accelerator Report, part of their annual Futures Report series, Theresa highlights a striking correlation: 80% of organizations with low software supply chain visibility experienced a breach in the past year, while only 6% with high visibility did. That data underscores the critical role visibility plays in reducing business risk and maintaining operational resilience.More than a technical concern, software supply chain risk is now a boardroom topic. According to the report, CEOs have the highest awareness of this risk—even more than CIOs and CISOs—because of the direct impact on brand reputation, stock value, and partner trust. As Theresa puts it, software has become the “last mile” of digital business, and that makes it everyone's problem.The conversation explores why now is the time to act. Government regulations are increasing, adversarial attacks are intensifying, and organizations are finally beginning to connect software vulnerabilities with business outcomes. Theresa outlines four critical actions: leverage CEO awareness, understand and prioritize vulnerabilities, invest in modern security technologies, and demand transparency from third-party providers.Importantly, cybersecurity culture is emerging as a key differentiator. Companies that embed security KPIs across all business units—and align security with business priorities—are not only more secure, they're also more agile. As software creation moves faster and more modular, the organizations that prioritize visibility and responsibility throughout the supply chain will be best positioned to adapt, grow, and protect their operations.Learn more about LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/levelblue266f6cNote: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Evangelist of AT&T Cybersecurity / LevelBlue [@LevelBlueCyber]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresalanowitz/ResourcesTo learn more, download the complete findings of the LevelBlue Threat Trends Report here: https://itspm.ag/levelbyqdpTo download the 2025 LevelBlue Data Accelerator: Software Supply Chain and Cybersecurity report, visit: https://itspm.ag/lbdaf6iLearn more and catch more stories from LevelBlue: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/levelblueLearn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

With two decades of experience as a claims adjuster and owner of a Third Party Administrator (TPA), Frederick is well-regarded for his dedication to client financial security. He is an advocate for providing strong financial safeguards and has authored the insightful book titled "Claims Made Insurance, The Policy That Changed the Industry: A Deep Dive Review and History," set for release in June 2024. Frederick currently operates as a consultant and expert witness, focusing on insurance consulting and risk management. Episode Summary: Join Chris Voss as he hosts insurance expert Frederick Fisher on The Chris Voss Show, where they delve into the intricate world of insurance policies and claims. In this episode, the discussion zeros in on understanding claims made insurance policies, with Frederick sharing insights and case studies that emphasize the significance of being informed and cautious while purchasing insurance. They highlight headline-grabbing stories about insurance litigation involving big names and underscore the challenges faced by companies and individuals when they're inadequately protected. As the conversation progresses, Frederick uses practical examples to underline the perils of a lack of transparency and knowledge when it comes to insurance. From discussing the implications of not disclosing warranty questions to exploring the nuances of management liability insurance, the episode is a goldmine of knowledge for entrepreneurs and individuals alike. Chris and Frederick tackle the often-overlooked elements of homeowners insurance and unravel the critical components that can lead to financial security in the face of disasters. Through engaging dialogue, they underline the importance of seeking expertise in the insurance industry and avoiding the pitfall of being attracted solely by the price of policies. Key Takeaways: Understanding the intricacies of claims made insurance is crucial to avoid costly mistakes and ensure comprehensive coverage. Transparency and honest disclosure on insurance applications are critical to prevent fraud accusations and resulting claim denials. The order taker standard limits the responsibility of insurance agents, making it essential for consumers to engage with knowledgeable brokers. Entrepreneurs should consider management liability insurance to protect against personal liability incidents stemming from business decisions. Homeowners and condo owners must review their coverage limits diligently, including potential code upgrades that can lead to increased costs during rebuilding. Notable Quotes: "Everybody hates [insurance], everybody hates buying it, everybody hates dealing with it." "Insurance is the last thing. It's either milk or insurance. Come on. We know where that's going." "Take buying insurance seriously and don't use your brother-in-law as your broker unless he's a specialist in it." "You can't say, ‘I want the best coverage'… what does that mean? Quality of the coverage? The price of the coverage?" "It's intentional. I'm telling you right now… insurance companies are out to screw you."

Send us a textINTRODUCTION:After living in large cities, I wanted to come back to the Hudson Valley where I grew up. Unfortunately, even after many years, I have found that this area still has a largely unseen queer presence. Without the support of a needed community, and further isolation due to the ongoing health, social and political crises, I was compelled to explore new relationships with the environments I experienced when I was younger. Returning to these familiar places years later with a different body, I focus on getting to know the unknown self. I capture vulnerable moments in surroundings that have never seen me in this way before. I explore themes of identity,presentation, and (in)visibility through the lens of a medically transitioningperson. My current Polaroid project serves as a documentation of surgeriesundergone from 2019 to present. This chosen medium is a stark diversion fromthe popular “before and after” transition pictures seen online; consumed andsometimes fetishized on the internet. I strive to show the transitioning bodyin kinship with nature, stressing the integral likenesses between the two thatare so often questioned.INCLUDED IN THIS EPISODE (But not limited to):·      An In-depth Discussion With a Female To Male Trans Individual·      Why A New Environment May Be In Order·      Why Transitioning Is Different For Each Individual ·      Top Surgery & Bottom Surgery·      Some Of The Emotions Transgender People Deal With·      Why Access To Healthcare Is Crucial·      The Medical Process Of Going Female To Male·      The Importance Of Community During Transition·      The Importance Of Mental Health Professionals During Transition·      We Weigh In On The Impact Of Roe Vs.

But as we all know, virtually everyone wants transparency from leaders. In this conversation, Minda shows us how to get better at it. Key Points You're not helping by shielding people from difficult conversations. Most everyone assumes baseline behaviors of employees. Employees expect reciprocity through transparency. We often think about transparency with information that's known. Just as important is clarity about what's not known. Even when you can't share news, you can put time and resources into what will help people handle a new reality when it arrives. Transparency provides clear, honest, and timely information. Promote transparency in roles. A job description is a helpful starting point for this. Good intentions do not mean good impact. When changes happen, communicate them as quickly as practical.

Newly declassified documents released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard expose the truth behind the Russia hoax, confirming that the Intelligence Community knew before the 2016 election that Russia posed no credible threat to the outcome, yet a post-election political operation, driven by the Obama White House and weaponized by senior officials, flipped the narrative to undermine President Trump. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the documents, details how the Deep State deceived the public, and calls for Congress to implement permanent legislative reforms to defang the bureaucracy and restore constitutional order. Episode Highlights: The Intelligence Community's original 2016 assessment debunked claims of Russian vote tampering, before the narrative was flipped. How the Obama administration suppressed dissent, buried intelligence, and inserted the discredited Steele Dossier to delegitimize Trump. Why accountability alone isn't enough, and the urgent need for Congress to codify reforms to dismantle the Fourth Branch of Government.
