We all saw it. Unbelievably bad decisions by Kevin King and Green Bay ultimately loses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It happened. It's over. And now rumblings Rodgers wants out. Oh boy. Let's talk about it for minute on today's rant.

We hit the BIG 5-0! It’s especially monumental as we cover a beloved superhero film that has won the praise of critics and fans alike. Unbelievably this is the first viewing of The Dark Knight by BillChete and about the seventh watch for Lady Phantom.

There is no doubt that health insurance is a "must" for every individual. Unbelievably, tens of millions of Americans do not have it. In this episode, Cary reinforces the need for everyone to have a health insurance plan. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cary-siegel/message

Belinda Fettke began researching the Vested Interests and Religious Ideology shaping our 'Plant-biased' dietary and health guidelines after her husband, Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Gary Fettke, was reported to the Medical Board by a dietitian in 2014. Unbelievably, he was subjected to a 2 1/2 year star-chamber investigation and subsequently become the only medical doctor in the world 'silenced' from talking about nutrition for the rest of his medical career. Silenced, from recommending people with weight-related joint issues, inflammation and the complications of Type 2 diabetes, reduce sugar and processed foods to improve their health outcomes... Why??? Unexpectedly, the answers to questions she had about 'who was silencing the science' were buried in the pages of history.

Sara is the total package. Stunning, Unbelievably talented, Incredible mother and devoted wife, God fearing woman. Sara knows who she is and what matters to her. She doesn’t try to hide what’s important, where she stands, and she knows her priorities and is unapologetic about them. When we started talking, she was so down to earth and relatable that it felt like I was just talking to an old friend, not a top selling female country artist. We talked about how her game-changing debut album “Born to Fly” is celebrating 20 years. Her latest album “Copy That” is out now and it features her favorite classic songs, remade Sara Evans style. I think my favorite part of the interview was her talking about life on the road w babies and kids. She never asked permission to include her family in everything she has done. She just brought them along and made it work. I love that. So many times, especially as women, we feel like we can’t do it all at the same time, but Sara is a perfect example that you can have a happy marriage, beautiful children, and a thriving career all at once.

Dr. Breus is The Sleep Doctor, a Clinical Psychologist, and a Clinical Advisory Board Member of The Dr. Oz Show. We all know sleep is important. We all also know it’s one of the most overlooked aspects of health, fitness, mental fortitude, etc. In this episode, Dr. Breus holds a mirror to our excuses and provides a genetic, scientific, and easy to follow step by step process for actually tackling our sleep. He discusses the improved cognitive abilities, health, and wellness you’d expect, but also those you might not expect: improved reception to flu shots, reconnecting and bettering your romantic and more intimate relationships, when to best hack your boss’s genetic sleep schedule to pick the best time to ask for a raise! Unbelievably, it goes on and on. Whether you’re drawn in by the idea of “hacking” your sleep or not, you know you’re probably not sleeping the best you can.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks: would you go to see Panties at Canning Town Bridge House?Unbelievably, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, this appears to be only the second time we’ve chanced across 1978 – which is a shameful way for a podcast about Top Of The Pops to act, because this year is rammed with cultural behemoths dominating the landscape, with the musk of all the things that Chart Music cherishes hanging thick in the air. We're right on on the perineum ‘twixt Saturday Night Fever and Grease, Tony Blackburn has just slid into his Tony Manero outfit, and your panel are a) becoming massively disillusioned by school dinners, b) fancying Carol Chell, and c) drawing a picture of Hitler in a Mexico strip and getting ready to ice down his groin with some peas a week from now.Musicwise, practically everything good – and bad – about ’78 is here. The Real Thing help Legs & Co recreate one of the scenes in The Stud that didn’t involve grubby pre-Eighventies Percy Filth. Jimmy Pursey says hello to Mum again. Yvonne Elliman and Tavares keep the SNF end up. Legs & Co – on their second shift – look as if they’ve been caught short or have had a serious wardrobe malfunction. Debbie Harry’s face splits like a spaceship door. Heatwave take jumper technology to the next level. ITV Quisling Cilla has a go at Disco. James Galway makes his first appearance since being run over by a motorbike in Switzerland. Ian Dury becomes the nation’s favourite Hard Bastard Uncle. The Scotland World Cup Squad have to sing around a disembodied cardboard cut-out of Rod Stewart. And the UK’s seventh biggest-selling single ever is Number One.Team ATVLand – Taylor Parkes and Neil Kulkarni – help Al Needham fill out the wallchart of late May 1978, veering off on such tangents as the thought of Dave Bartram giving Joan Collins one in a lift, a forensic examination of the 1978 Eurovision Song Contest, urban myths about Melody Maker editors being whipped by chains, an inter-Journo fight over who liked Dexys Midnight Runners more, and – finally – the recasting of Prisoner: Cell Block H that the Pop-Crazed Youngsters have been crying out for. OVER SIX HOURS, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, and rest assured that a considerable amount of that involves both Effing and Geoffing…Video Playlist | Subscribe | Facebook | Twitter | The Chart Music Wiki | Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Unbelievably, we’ve made it to the Championship, & without Kevin Harvick. The fellas discuss Martinsville, race manipulation, give kudos to NASCAR, and predict the Champ!

CLASS ACTION PARK MOVIE REVIEW Ah, the 80s. What a time it was. Neon colors. Arena rock. New Wave. No personal responsibility. Mass injuries. The smell of unclean water and iodine. Hey, it’s Action Park. Or, as this HBO doc would have it, “Class Action Park”. Unbelievably, this theme park in New Jersey managed to… Read More »Screener Squad: Class Action Park

In this episode, I address the ongoing collapse of the Biden campaign, and the mounds of evidence that he’s in real trouble. I also address latest troubling video to emerge from the street riots in Portland.  News Picks: Joe Biden began his campaign by praising ANTIFA. Unbelievably, the appeals court rejects Mike Flynn’s effort to force the misguided judge to drop the broken case against him. Joe Biden attempts to speak in complete sentences, with mixed results.   Fact-Check: Joe Biden says he is not banning fracking. Really?  Four trends showing President Trump may be in solid shape in November.  Are positive Trump polls being suppressed? Andy McCarthy’s excellent piece about the FBI lawyer who plead guilty in the Spygate case. Debunking yet another silly leftist conspiracy theory.   Copyright Bongino Inc All Rights Reserved.

From a tough upbringing to a potential first round draft pick, Inky Johnson was on his way to his dreams, and he worked his butt off for it. But on September 9, 2006, his plans were derailed.

Listen to his amazing story.First, DJ and Scott tackle the complicated topic that paralyzed the sports world on August 26.

Hey listeners, We have a treat for you this time around. I was honoured to host the eccentric and widely-loved business extraordinaire Ben Chai. I am all about self-improvement, both on my own terms and when helping my students develop their social acumen. On those grounds, it’s a no-brainer having a chat with Ben about his story. Ben is the self-styled “Dr. Who of Business” and has spent many, many years building multi-million-dollar businesses and coaching other people on how to reach the same peak. This man has absolutely owned who he is. Taking ownership, in turn, has brought expansive success to his diverse range of business operations that range from property, software, hospitality, and education to media, the written word, and security. He has appeared on documentaries and has a best-selling book called Social Magnetism. He’s had several TedX talks and also interviewed the likes of John Travolta and 50 Cent on his own TV show. Unbelievably, he acts in films on top of everything else and has shared the silver screen with Madonna and John Cleese, amongst others. Ben is a unique man of many talents, but he started out like many of you - insecure and stigmatised. In this podcast, I had a chat with Ben about the following parts of his life and approach: - His journey to stability and success - Living with the anxieties of racism and overcoming them - The important aspects of the university experience for abandoning pre-judgements - Achieving financial freedom by thirties - How to succeed at networking events - His secrets of success - The information hidden in the Bible about connecting with others and succeeding with business - How he went from middle management in IT to taking full ownership of his time - The power of learning lessons and getting over bullying in self-growth - How attitudes towards his race cost him opportunities in the workplace but taught him valuable lessons - Why you should surround yourself with people who celebrate your - achievements with you - Why he prefers it when things go wrong - Why passion and willingness to learn is the only thing needed to succeed - And much more I hope you got as much out of listening to this conversation as much as I got from being part of it.

In 2018, Switch4Good - a PSA campaign aimed at informing people about the health risks associated with dairy products - launched with a commercial during the closing ceremony for the Olympics. Unbelievably, the ad was yanked from the air before it reached the West Coast following complaints by the dairy industry. Luckily, they fought their way back to become one of the foremost nonprofits advocating for a healthy plant-based diet, reaching more than 95 million people in just the past six months.We’re joined by Rachael Adams, Olympic Volleyball player and Switch4Good ambassador, to chat about the initiative and how nixing dairy changed her life… and how she’s inspired other athletes to do the same.

Steve and Marijn suffer by recording during the heatwave and Steve get his Billions and Trillions mixed up. Then they make assumptions about customers knowing why they move to Microsoft365 considering the enterprise vision. The key subject for EP41 is about measuring success and defining the KPI for collaboration based on Marijn’s mother bitching about being upgraded to office365 and maybe the result of a poor adoption path (sorry Mum) Should IT change… and how do you measure that change moving forward considering costs, flexibility, and value in an Agile world especially considering ITIL and other quality markers. Marijn discussed his holiday reading material before starting to breakdown how we can measure collaboration by asking users about their experience. He is definitely onto something here… check it out. Unbelievably this is an Office365Distilled podcast that sticks to the main subject of measuring success of a cloud migration… yes, I know… amazing!! Finally, before the tasting of an evening French Whisky, the boys ask the question if the feedback from this measure helps make the decisions on new features and how the business will accept them.

WOW! Unbelievably grateful for this one! I met her literally through a work assistant upcountry where I had just begun teaching. Pim, a girl who was embattled and estranged living here in Thailand, had the opportunity to go abroad (to America)....and then she was able to live outside the box rather than tied down in Thai society. Getting ready to go on a mission with her church, she joins me today to destroy the BRULES (bulls*** rules of society) and give everyone, of all ages, some profound wisdom.

Can we let you in on a little secret (we’ll whisper this one quietly)? Our founder, the woman TechPixies up and down the land recognise as the master of social media marketing and owner of her own successful company, never wanted to be a businesswoman (we know, right?! She’s won business awards and everything, so feel free to insert as many exclamation marks as you see fit here). Unbelievably, when Joy Foster was a mere whippersnapper roaming the corridors of her high school (incidentally, the very same one Mark Zuckerberg went to... and you might have noticed how nifty he is with social media), she would see a business class and run in the opposite direction (and Joy loves running, but that’s another story). At the time, she felt her destiny lay in saving the world through international relations, but it’s funny how things work out. Joy is the first to admit that it’s taken her 12 years to figure out what she was put on this earth to do, and anyone who has been through the TechPixies programme will thank their lucky stars that she finally had her lightbulb moment. So, in this week’s episode of the Sparkle and Thrive Podcast, Joy kicks off our inspiring Be Brave and Sparkle series with the story of how she found her true purpose and all the twists and turns she took along the way in her quest to uncover it. It’s a fascinating tale of how she’s pulled on more brave pants than most people do in a lifetime and how those brave little decisions have led to some rather big wins; it’s a no-holds-barred look at the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of how she got to where she is today. This podcast is for you if:✨ You’ve ever wondered how Joy’s journey started.✨ You’re keen to avoid making the same business mistakes she made. ✨ You need a little reminder that you can do this (whatever your version of ‘this’ maybe).✨ You want to be awed and inspired.✨ You’ve ever pondered the question ‘what the heck is a TechPixie, anyway?’We recommend you pull on your brave pants and press play now. Here’s what to listen out for:[01:46] Joy reveals the shocking information a Swiss recruiter told her.[05:37] Learn about Joy’s first foray into business.

It's the best food podcast in existence. I'd recommend all of of the episodes, but this one is so cool because it talks about diasporic foodways. How do an Indonesian and Taiwanese couple think about their culture in the context of their lives and bakery in LA? How did curry get to Japan? If you like this episode, I'd also recommend "Earthenware Cooking: Japan | Greece" and "Indigenous Foodways: The Decolonized Diet." Emergence Magazine PodcastPickled Limes - Kalyanee Mam31 minutesThis podcast has authors reading their own articles from the magazine. The magazine explores the threads connecting ecology, culture, and spirituality, so they talk about food a lot. This article is a harrowing and inspiring story about the civil war in Cambodia and immigrating to the US. It includes a recipe in the print version and epitomizes to me how food can be used as a vehicle in a story.Milk Street RadioThe Sporkful Presents: Why Hibachi is Complicated30 minutes Wonton soup has been in America longer than the hot dog!!! I learned this fact on this episode and I have repeated it to everyone that will listen. This podcast is a generally great resource for interviews with important people in food and to get cooking tips. Monocle 24: The Menu Eating Fish, Nose to Tail30 minutes The host on this podcast has an UNBELIEVABLY smooth voice. Insane. Listen just for the voice. The episode is a great interview with the author of "The Fish Butchery Cookbook," and ends with an overview of climate changes' impact on wine regions. They also have a Food Neighbourhoods series where they explore different food neighborhoods (Brits!) from around the world in 5-10 minutes miniepisodes. I'd recommend starting with "Food Neighbourhoods: best of 2019" which includes two of my favorites: Bagdad and Turin.

Unbelievably ugly when our own brothers and sisters disparage and attack our teachers! Teaching has long been gendered work by women, and when we hate on them and show no support for female teachers and leadership, we are being the most disempowering we can possibly be. I’m a teacher and let me tell you, this has been one hell of a week being witness to online vitriol against Armenian teachers and leadership. We’re better than this! We’ve got to show our support and community cooperation with our schools reopening online. We’ve got to call it out and stop the bs in its tracks especially during the world pandemic! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackie14/message

Imagine that you died and came back to life. How would it change the way you lived?  My guest for this episode doesn't have to imagine it. This is the first time that Joe Harsel has shared his story publicly, and if you let it, his story has the power to radically transform how you live. You’ll learn what Joe sees differently, does differently, how he thinks differently, and how he uses gift cards differently. Yep, gift cards. Death seems to change just about everything.    Meet Joe Harsel I met Joe when I was in high school, almost 30 years ago. He was a leader in Young Life, a Christian ministry to teenagers. Outwardly, I was somewhat of a golden child--athletic, academically gifted, well-behaved, and respectful. Inwardly, though, it was a very different story. Joe came alongside me at this critical time in my life and began to help connect my insides with my outsides, so to speak. I share more about how his investment in my life made a difference in the full episode.  A clear theme emerges when you look closely at Joe's life--no matter which of several different professional chapters you examine: a commitment to investing in and serving others. Joe is a perennial optimist, an exuberant fan of everyone he comes alongside, a devoted husband and father, and someone to whom hundreds owe a deep debt of gratitude--including yours truly. Joe and his wife, Carol, live in Baltimore, MD, and have four grown sons.    Fine One Minute… ...dead the next. That’s what happened to Joe three years ago, as he walked up to his son’s swim meet. A friend said hi, and Joe collapsed headlong--upright and breathing one moment and prostrate with no measurable vitals the next. Remarkably, a man just a few feet to his side was the Maryland state trainer for municipal EMS. He immediately got his medical bag from his car and began CPR. For more than 30 minutes, Joe received CPR, shots of epinephrine, and multiple shocks with a defibrillator--all to no avail. In fact, onlookers said that Joe began to look dead--his skin turning a grayer color and his body cooling.  Carol was riding her bike to the swim meet when she got the call that Joe had collapsed. Friends began to send texts and call others with the tragic news that Joe had died.  Remarkably, just 24 hours earlier, Joe had gotten a good report from his doctor: blood pressure down, cholesterol down, weight down. Everything looked good.  Fine one minute. Dead the next.    Dead One Minute... ...and alive the next. Unbelievably--against all odds--as the ambulance pulled up to the hospital, Joe came back to life. For more than 30 minutes, he had no measurable signs of life, all of the definitive signs of death, and none of the prolonged efforts to revive him had ANY measurable effect. And yet there he was--alert and talking.    What Happened?? The medical term for what Joe experienced is “sudden cardiac death”--in other words, the heart suddenly and catastrophically stops working. This is different from a heart attack, in which case a blockage prevents blood from reaching the heart. Only 6% of sudden cardiac death victims recover, and most of those have significant neurological impairments upon recovery because of oxygen deprivation. In addition to being an odds-buster simply because he revived, Joe’s case is even more remarkable because he has very little, if any, lingering problems from the episode. He did have a stint put in to address an occluded “widow-maker” vessel and a defibrillator implanted in the event of another episode. It wasn’t totally clear sailing after the episode, but he was ALIVE.  What word would you use to describe Joe’s experience? Miracle? Anomaly?    Embracing Mystery and Other Lessons Shortly after Joe’s remarkable recovery, he and Carol agreed that they wouldn’t push to understand or explain what had happened right away. That they would instead embrace the mystery of his experience. This is a key takeaway from Joe’s story for all of us. Life has moments of mystery that defy all of our abilities to define, explain, categorize, or analyze--despite our best efforts and most earnest desires to understand. Life is simply wilder and the list of possible woes and tragedies much longer than we want to acknowledge. Joe and Carol have grown more comfortable with the discomfort of NOT understanding. This, in my opinion, demonstrates a humility in the face of a terrifying experience that all of us can stand to learn from and integrate more into our own lives.  If Joe’s story teaches us anything, it’s that some things in life defy our every attempt to understand them. And attempting to explain them is a desperate bid to regain a sense of control where, in fact, we have very little--if any.  How comfortable are you with mystery in your life? Or do you demand that everything has its place, its category, its explanation? Challenge yourself to open up to life’s Mystery. This relationship with Life aligns much better with the reality of Life and builds your courage muscles in the process. See Life’s wildness with your eyes wide open...and live! Other key takeaways include: Relationships matter most. Many people immediately began to travel to Baltimore when they heard that Joe had died--not knowing that they would arrive to instead find him alive! Rather than attending Joe’s funeral, they had a visit with him in-person. And Joe basically received a sort of verbal obituary from these folks. They recounted the many ways that he had impacted their lives and expressed their deep gratitude. As he had more of these visits, Joe realized that thankfully, his life had been well-lived and well-invested up until then. In fact, he realized that had his life ended then, he would have been pleased with the life he lived. All because of the relationships he’d invested in and made a priority his whole life. Today, relationships are all that much more important to Joe. Any time he has a chance to come alongside someone--especially someone he’s already invested in--Joe seizes the opportunity. And if there’s any solace in the face of life’s terrifying unpredictability--its defiance of our attempts to create A + B = C formulas for living--it’s to be found in the comfort and safety of meaningful  relationships with others. And it’s in that context that the wildness and mystery of life can be experienced and honored without it doing us in.  Be okay with calling it a day. Today, Joe is much quicker to call it a day if he’s simply losing steam--trusting that the next day will bring fresh energy and insight. And, Joe asserts, it’s pretty much always the case. My takeaway from this is simply to trust yourself--what your heart, mind, and body are telling you. Loosen your white-knuckled grip on productivity, and live to fight another day. Stay laser-focused on the here-and-now. Joe’s new awareness of the wildness and unpredictability of life--the list of possible woes and tragedies that are possible has grown much longer--has led him to become hyper-focused on the here-and-now. It is, after all, all we’ve got. The past is history, the future is anybody’s guess. But right now? That’s real.  And more...Tune in to the full episode to capture all of what Joe’s story has to offer you. There’s a lot more. We’re All Going To Die. But Are You Living?  It’s not often that we have the chance to learn what matters most in life from someone who actually came back from the dead. What part of Joe’s story will you allow to change your life? We don’t need to live in fear of Death. But, let’s not try to ignore or avoid it, either. Instead, let’s wake up, acknowledge that it’s coming, and do what we can today to become the person we were made to be and live the lives we were made to live.  You are the One and Only You! There never has been nor will there ever be another human exactly like you. You matter. Your life matters. Your time on this blue and green cosmic marble we call Earth matters.  You ARE going to die.

Unbelievably, this week’s movie is all about a naughty school superintendent who does very bad things and provides some ‘bad education’ … And not a single nudie scene in the whole thing! Join Robert and Ira as they discuss BAD EDUCATION, and share their top 5 Hugh Jackman movies.  Listen for free through iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or GooglePlay.  So, if you’ve ever been an extremely successful school superintendent, highly ranked in the nation, who is handsome, charismatic, and wears expensive suits, but is stealing a shit load of money from the district to live life large with your secret gay lover, then this podcast is for you!

Since 1980, more than a quarter of a million unsolved homicides have occurred in the United States - which is more than all U.S. military deaths since the end of WWII.  And here's the maddening truth about those unsolved cases - there is no centralized agency in the United States dedicated to keeping track of cold or inadequately investigated murders.  Unbelievably, the statistics we read about murders in America are only estimates.  Projections.  This is because local police and sheriff's departments only provide data that they want to provide - there is no federal standard for such reporting, and no single place to hold the data even if such a standard existed.  Enter Thomas Hargrove, the retired reporter-turned-justice warrior,who in 2015 founded the Murder Accountability Project ("MAP"), a nonprofit organization dedicated to tracking and accounting for unsolved U.S. homicides. Gathering data provided by multiple federal, state and local governments, MAP publishes it all, enabling anyone - even YOU - to investigate patterns in unsolved murders, figure out how often your local law enforcement agencies clear homicides - and look at individual cases reported to the FBI or obtained by MAP through Freedom of Information Acts.  Listen in as Melissa tells Hargrove's story, describes the frustration he has experienced when law enforcement pays no attention to his research - including one serial killer he identified after seven women were killed in Indiana - and police didn't pay attention until the murderer was caught after taking seven additional victims.  But mostly, take note of how YOU can use the data MAP collects to do your own research and perhaps find patterns in your own community that could lead law enforcement to seek out the bad guys.

Sara is the total package. Stunning, Unbelievably talented, Incredible mother and devoted wife, God fearing woman. Sara knows who she is and what matters to her. She doesn’t try to hide what’s important, where she stands, and she knows her priorities and is unapologetic about them. When we started talking, she was so down to earth and relatable that it felt like I was just talking to an old friend, not a top selling female country artist. We talked about how her game-changing debut album “Born to Fly” is celebrating 20 years. Her latest album “Copy That” is out now and it features her favorite classic songs, remade Sara Evans style. I think my favorite part of the interview was her talking about life on the road w babies and kids. She never asked permission to include her family in everything she has done. She just brought them along and made it work. I love that. So many times, especially as women, we feel like we can’t do it all at the same time, but Sara is a perfect example that you can have a happy marriage, beautiful children, and a thriving career all at once.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news April retail sales reports are quite grim everywhere.In China, their retail sales in April were down -7.5% when markets were expecting a lesser year-on-year fall and a better recovery from March to April of +6.5% for the month. There is disappointment in these results. However, Chinese electricity generation and overall industrial production did rebound in April. But the recovery probably isn't enough for Beijing, so markets are expecting more stimulus. But it could just be more debt stimulus.The Chinese central bank has cut its reserve ratio requirement for most regional and community banks, adding to their ability to debt-fund local projects.However it comes, steel making will be a beneficiary. In fact, over the past week we have seen iron ore prices rise to their highest of the year, and now higher than before China's pandemic slowdown started. Metallurgical coal prices have stopped falling.But there is a key commodity stat that shows there is recovery in Chinese economic activity. In March, they used 10.6 mln barrels of oil a day. That was up from as February low of about 8 mln/bbd. In April that rose to 11.8% mln/bbd which was about its 2019 average.However, the Asian Development Bank has issued an updated estimate that says China will suffer a -7.8% decline in 2020 economic output. That is larger than most other analysts reckon. They also say the US will suffer a -5.7% fall, Japan a -1.7% retreat, and the EU will have a -6.7% fall. They say Australia and New Zealand will be hit with a -6.0% drop.The ADB says the current crisis could cost global GDP up to US$5.4 tln and reduce economic activity by -5.9% worldwide. It is particularly hard on countries like Indonesia. An unstable Indonesia is Australia's worst nightmare.In the US, data for American retail sales in April shows them -22% lower than the same month a year ago (and far worse than the Chinese experience), with -16% of that American fall coming since March. There has never been such a sharp collapse in American economic history.In March, and prior to the April disaster, American industrial sales were down -4.9% from the same month a year earlier. Inventories leapt. When the April data arrives it is likely to tell a similar story to the retail sales story. But the US Fed has a measure of industrial production for April and that fell the most ever recorded, down -15% from April 2019. Consumer goods production was down -16% year-on-year, business equipment was down -26%.Investors can't decide whether they should react to the unprecedentedly weak data, or the fact that many governments are moving to restart their economies. Wall Street ended flat on Friday, but down -2.5% for the week. Unbelievably, the S&P500 is at virtually the same level it was a year ago. (That is the power of share buy-backs to keep prices up.)And the US Fed issued a clear and stark warning about the risks to stock and asset prices generally. In its Financial Stability Report, it fingered commercial real estate as the sector most at risk to a gruesome repricing. They also note risks are also high for residential real estate and farmland. It sees rising risk aversion leading to depressed valuations, increased volatility, and impaired market functioning.Another complicating factor for the immediate future of trade is that the US-China trade relationship is unraveling faster now.In the insurance market, Lloyd's of London has said it expects coronavirus-related claims to cost it up to NZ$9 bln, its biggest payout since the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US. A third of those payouts are related to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics. And those current losses could rise further if the lockdowns continue into the Q3-2020 quarter. Although Lloyds is a relatively small reinsurance market on a global scale, it does indicate that few companies actually carried cover for such a cataclysmic event.In Germany, they reported their economy shrank -2.3% in Q1-2020 from the same quarter a year ago.In Australia, new figures show 429,000 mortgages have been deferred totaling AU$155 bln. The figures take the total number of all loans deferred to 703,000, worth a value of $211 bln. More than one in 14 mortgages now have deferral arrangements in place there.The latest compilation of Covid-19 data is here. The global tally is now 4,686,100 and up +178,000 from this time on Saturday which is similar level of increase.Now, just under 32% of all cases globally are in the US, which is up +48,000 since this time Saturday to 1,430,000. This is also a similar rate of increase. US deaths are now exceed 89,000. Global deaths now exceed 313,000. The four countries with the most reported infections are now the US, Russia, the UK and Brazil. Peru, India, Iran and Turkey now all have more reported cases that China. India has announced a third extension to their lockdown. The pandemic has spread out of US and Europe to be a major crisis in emerging economies, places far less able to deal with it.In Australia, there are now 7045 cases (+26 since yesterday), 98 deaths (unchanged) and an improved recovery rate of just under 92%. 50 people are in hospital there (+4) with 16 in ICU (-1). There are now 580 active cases in Australia (-4).One additional case was reported yesterday in New Zealand, in a Christchurch nursing home. There have now been a total of 1499 Covid-19 cases identified as either confirmed or probable. Twenty-one people have died (unchanged). There are still only two people left in hospital with the disease (unchanged), and neither are in ICU. Our recovery rate is now just over 95% with 45 people known to be still infected (-4).The UST 10yr yield is settled at just on 0.64% and a +2 bps rise. The gold price is higher today that where we left it on Friday, up another +US$14 to US$1,742/oz.Oil prices are higher today as well. The US crude price is up from Friday by about +US$2.50/bbl to just over US$29.50/bbl. The international oil price is up a lesser amount to just under US$32.50/bbl. Modest rises in demand and supply retrenchments are forces behind the move higher.The Kiwi dollar is much lower this morning and will open at just under 59.3 USc. On the cross rates we have sagged to 92.5 AUc. Against the euro we are down to 54.8 euro cents. These falls mean the TWI-5 is now 65.5 and a six week low.Bitcoin is a firmer in weekend trading, up +2.5% to US$9,742.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.Get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Tell your friends and email us a review - we welcome feedback.Kia ora.

Food. We all like it. We all eat it. We all have it served to us by a special military valet. So let's talk about food in lockdown with notable food writer and best person Helen Rosner.Oh, but first, Dan and Maureen do a little run down of what’s going on in the White House. Unbelievably, after taking absolutely no precautions, COVID-19 has shown up in those hallowed halls. The President’s Diet Coke man has come down with it, and in response they are doing… nothing? Welcome to wild speculation about what the hell is going on!And then we can get to grocery washing, pleasure eating, and how restaurants may ever reopen. It’s a feast!Sit down, SaysWhovia! We set a place for you, and it’s all you can eat. 

This is Part 2 of a 2 part series recorded in a live radio show called El Sassa, about How Businesses Will Change after Covid 19 Coronavirus.  Radio and podcast host Sassa and I discuss the current impacts of Coronavirus in our business communities, the government loans and what business owners are facing waiting for that….how services like Uber and Lyft or hair and nail salons might transform.  Very importantly, how to decide what to do next in your business – such as how to decide – what businesses are thriving right now, how to deal with fear and the fear of failure and finding strength from trying and finding successes when you don’t quit.  I talk about digital solutions that you can try if you want to succeed in a new area of competency. Sassa: Let's talk about this loan, this government funds there, the loans that people are supposed to be receiving. Can you just tell me what do you think about these big change like route Roots Steakhouse, Del Frisco, Popbelly, I could keep going for a couple of... Getting 40,000,000 20,000,000 10,000,000. How do you feel about that? You got small businesses like yours and mine's and many other small little businesses that we actually went out of business waiting on this. I mean, what do you think about that? I mean, do you think that things are going to be different on this new second role that they're doing? Well, I think absolutely that... My full understanding, I found out first about it for my CPA, she sent an email out to me, my business and several other of her clients that are small businesses and said, "Hey, just so you know, you can apply for this loan. Which actually isn't a loan because, it doesn't have to be paid back. But it's being called... Everyone knows what it means. It is money that's given to you to help your business survive and pay your employees." So it was intended for the small businesses and the mid-sized businesses, not the huge revenue making businesses. So if that was the intention, then there should have been check boxes. I can't remember every question- They should have separated. Right? I think they should have allocated them differently. Because I mean, they get public help already probably, because of the... They trade in the public. But again, one of them gave the money back, so that was this hamburgers chain, I think fast food restaurant. Shark, I think it's called. Oh, Shake Shack. Okay. Yeah. They gave the $10,000,000 back. So that's good because they say, "You know what, I'm giving it back." Yeah. But you gave it back because you got another loan from the equity partners here. If they were not giving it, you probably would have kept it. And you know what, you have enough money. You have 100 stores in the whole United States to be able to survive. Small businesses who've saved all their lives' savings, they pretty much lost everything. They have to restart. That doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get back in business and running 100% the first day it opens. Correct? Well, another thing about a large business with a lot of revenue and capital is preparation for emergency or I forget what the word is for this that we're in, but there were data models that showed that Bill Gates predicted this in a TED Talk a few years ago that this was the number one thing that we had to worry about. Instead, our global economy and business world was focused on cyber terror and cyber construction, obstruction rather of privacy and privacy now is taking off. I'm not saying that it's massively important, but unfortunately we overlooked that this was coming. I do believe that the larger businesses, because they have more revenue, they should be able to allocate and prepare better. Just like a lot of them haven't done a great job at customer experience satisfaction because they're not transforming in the digital world fast enough to meet consumers needs. I talk like that because I come from Forrester Research of six years and I know this is true because I sat in the meetings and heard the executives of these gigantic companies talk about it. I'm not saying it's easy, but I do believe that the larger businesses with more revenue should be able to prepare better for if something goes wrong and there is a disaster of some sort, whether it's environmental, economic, technical, war, whatever it is to have some runway with being able to stay afloat. Whereas the small businesses don't have that cashflow or they would be a large business, right? So, the small and mid-sized businesses are trying to get to levels where they can save more and invest more in things that can keep them going when there is a disaster. That's try. I'm going to tell you maybe, if there's 15 businesses that are striving during COVID-19, Coronavirus. So I'm going to share some of them for you, so you know this and you can share this with your audience as well. Cleaning services, one. Delivery services, grocery stores, liquor and wine stores. I don't know how, but liquor... I guess people are still drinking. Go open a liquor store and get happy, right? Meal prep, delivery services, [inaudible 00:36:05], good companies, things like that. Game makers and sellers like gaming, I guess kids are at home, they want to play video games more now. Fitness equipment companies. I don't know how fitness companies, maybe they're not selling to gyms anymore, maybe selling them to the home. Landscaping and Carey, you're right about that. Landscaping because I need to still cut my grass. Because even though COVID-19 is here, I can't let my house look all busted. That one is good. Bread baking company. So if you like to bake and you like to do cookies and baking and all that stuff, might be a good one to get into. Helping Americans relieve the stress by eating some cookies, it always helps. All right? Coffee subscription companies, go drink... I've been drinking more coffee this COVID-19, so that might be going. Gardening, I've been home a lot so I've been doing a lot of my garden stuff. Mask makers, there's a lot of people who are doing masks out there, maybe get into that. Tele-health. So those are some of the businesses that are striving in this industry. Yeah. So, we talk about how many businesses are going to be affected, how much my business got hit and how I'm restructuring. How I'm doing everything different. How I'm going to move my office now from a home base office until I get back in my feet, maybe by the end of the year or the beginning of next year. Hopefully by then I should be back to normal and I can probably look back into a different location and continue. But if I like that the way we said it, maybe I'll stay there. I mean, I'll save me rent and maybe I could use that money for a good vacation once airlines start traveling and start doing things back again. But this is the time for restructuring. This is the time for you to save a lot of money and cutting things that you don't need. This is the time for you to start thinking, brainstorming, how to get back, how to restart, how to just... Think about how when you started, when you first opened your business. Like man, you were a one man shop, think about it that way, man. "I'm a one man shop. I got to go fight this battle and I got to go out there and do a lot." Yes, you probably weren't used to doing it because you had help so many years. But go out there and think with that mentality because you know what? It's kind of like you knew how to do the business before, you knew how to do the product, you knew how to sell the product and you were teaching all these other people. So that way that could be your team, pretty much rebuilt your team. That's what I'm thinking. I don't know what you think about that girl. Yeah. I think it's partly personality. Because with personality, you have your interests, things that you're just plain not interested in. I'm interested in so many things, but I am not interested in learning how electronics, how to connect wires to make my lights work. Once my husband tried to explain that to me and he's like, "You love to learn. Why don't you want to learn this?" And I said, "I don't know, but I don't care. I don't like electric." Yeah. So I think people need to be honest with themselves because yeah, you got to do what you gotta do to get through this, but don't pivot into something that you cannot stand or that doesn't really interest you because few months down the road you're going to be miserable. The other thing is, I've noticed like with people with COVID and with quarantine is that some people are like, "Gosh, I feel more relaxed than ever. I feel stressed in a different way." And then other people, like my mom, she texts me the day that they came out and said that Georgia is opening up this Friday and Monday and she was ecstatic and I was like, "I'm not really going to be ecstatic yet because I kind of got to see what this is going to mean and everything." I had to see more information and she's just chomping at the bit to get out. So I think that's part of it. I don't know if I answered your question. No, no. You did. You know what? I know that the mayor over there in Atlanta doesn't want to open. Right? Because, she's still concerned about that. She's still thinking that- That's right. There's a possibility that you guys can get a big wave and coming back and getting more infections and things like that, which I am under the impression that we're doing it too fast. But I understand people are complaining that, "We need the economy, we need our jobs, we need our work, we need this, we need that." But I think we can always make money in life, but we can never make our life again. We only live once. That's right. It's a balance. Exactly. And you know what? Any government can probably redo an economy, can restructure, can do this. You can go out there and you can start a new business. You can actually start a new job. You can actually rebuild somewhere or the other. But your life is once, once you're gone, you're gone. There's no way coming back. Now, if you know a place where you can go and come back or something that makes you go and come back, let me know, because I'd love to know that. Right? But we have to take it seriously. And that's what people are not doing. Oh, yeah. What do you think about that? I think we need to be really smart and listen to the experts. Listen to the scientists and form our own decision around how our lives are. People have different situations and it's not easy. It's a lot to decide on and things are changing so fast. It's like, "Okay, what's going to happen today?" And there's a lot of uncertainty. But this is still new. But I think too, the other huge thing is mindset and attitude. I think I touched on this before about some business owners kind of freezing or not knowing what to do or people that have lost their jobs and they're like, "I'm not going to apply for anything because I just don't know what to do and I don't know where to go and I don't know when this is going to be over." But I believe in doing it scared. Someone asked me the other day, "What if I start a YouTube channel and I fail?" And I said, "Well then you..."- They're failing already because they're thinking about failure already. Right? Exactly. And I liked how he was being transparent with me and the real reason why he was hesitating. But this is really what he wanted to do. But then this fear of failure was perking up and preventing him from taking action. I said, "You know what? When you have small failures." You hear all the people that become self-made millionaires and billionaires say, "I failed too. But what I did was I kept going and I learned from my failures and I kept going." I feel like I finally am... I'm a young agency, just two years old in June. I look back just two years ago or even a year ago and I say, "Gosh, if I wouldn't have tried this and I wouldn't have put deadlines on myself." While I was doing it scared because I didn't always know everything that I was doing. I was figuring it out as I went that I wouldn't be where I am today and I have so much further to go in my goals. Unbelievably, I put so much pressure on myself but I do feel like I've finally kind of come full circle with knowing what that feels like and I can just... Any listeners out there that are hesitating because of fear with the unknown in your business, hone in on something that interests you and something that you would... If you look and you say, "If I were successful I would be so happy." And just do it scared. Lean on people that you can ask questions of and consume as much information and just start, keep going. That's my take. I'm gonna follow up with yours as well. People who say, "Man, I don't want to apply because this and that." You pay so many years of this, it's probably time now they give you something back. This is the time when you need it the most is a great opportunity for you to say, "You know what, I pay this as an American." You pay this, you get it back. Go out there and you need it. Don't come out there and try to feel like, "Oh, I'm scared or I'm embarrassed." Girl, you need it. You need to feed your kids, your family, your husband or your wife. You need to survive in this time. Two, failure... And we pay this. I mean, I paid it. You paid it. Everybody's paid this. I mean, they've taken it out of us. It's time for us to get back from the system what you put into the system. That's the way it should be in some way when this situations happen. This is a time for you to be able to... That's what it's there for. Whenever you need help, be there for me, lean on me. The other thing about failure, when you start to think failure already, like you say girl, you're already coming with that negativity. That's what you're going to attract and that's what you're going to start thinking. That's what you're going to start believing and that's what you're going to start bringing. So what you need to start thinking is a way with negativity, whether you go ahead, either be successful or not, you're going to give it your best because you're going to be the best at it as you can. You're probably not going to be an expert at the beginning because you don't know as much, but that's why God gave us something and that's why He gave us a mouth. Ask questions. That's why you have friends like you and I, you can text messages and I'm here to help anybody on podcasting or helping them how to get started on a podcast and things like that. Because remember, I am a firm believer that all the good deeds you do in this life continue and carry on with you to the afterlife. Okay. I agree. So if you do bad deed, you're going to continue and pay them over there. So let me tell you something. My life, I see this, I'm a firm believer, as a good... I'm Catholic, by the way, for a lot of folks that don't know this, as a good Catholic, a Christian believer as well, I feel I'm here to help. That's what God has sent me into this world, to help others and love others for who they are and help them in the time of need. So if you need me, I'm here. I'm a brother, I'm a friend, I'm here to help. So if we will all think this way, we can all help each other and not have envy and not have jealousy and not try to be better than you in this and that. If we all work together as a team, we will be not only a better country, but we will also be a better world a better humanity, for the whole world. So, listened to you to because I like what you say, they have to go ahead and give it their best and work at it. I think that's good. The YouTube channel, podcasting and all this stuff. A lot of people, sometimes they don't even get the support from their husband or their wife. This might be a time for you to say, "You know what, I'm going to do it and I'm going to show the world I could do it." Am I right on that? Oh yeah. Amen. I feel so bad for people that don't have support from their family. Because I'm fortunate and so thankful that I do. But I think about that. I try to be full of gratitude for that, wake up in the morning and write down the things that I have gratitude for. Everyone can have gratitude for something. I think too thinking, being conscious of your self-talk. If you find yourself saying these things in your head to yourself, being able to catch yourself and then turning it into a positive even if you don't yet believe it. I learned this because I learned how to sell. I've been a salesman most of my career and in technology and I learned from Mary Kay that old fashion company where you put- Hey, Mary Kay has made a lot of money for a lot of people. My mom started with Mary Kay and she used to make a little bit of money, believe me. But it was a lot of time consuming. I learned so much about sales. I didn't care anything about makeup. Isn't that funny? But I learned about sales and then I moved on to technology and that's what I love. Every time I think about Mary Kay girl, I think about the cream Royal jelly, I think, oh, what was it called? That one day my mom will always sell, her friends would come over and she would always sell it to them. The cleanser. Yeah. They're a great company. Really great company. Great company, yes. But they taught me to write down positive affirmations on sticky notes. Some people are opposed to sticky notes because they get lost and whatnot. But write on something, put it on your bathroom mirror, put it on your refrigerator. Just a few positive affirmation. So when you catch yourself saying these negative thoughts, that you revert right back and you say it to yourself, if you can out loud, that's even better. But speaking of giving and being Christian and everything, I am too. It reminded me of this company of... I'm very close to their family. It's called Perillo Motors out of Chicago and it's Perillo... They sell BMWs, luxury vehicles all kinds of... Six different lines of automobiles that they sell. Well, of course sales of automobiles have gone down and manufacturers have decreased production and whatnot. Well, what they decided to do was to give back to their community by... There's a suffering pizza store there that has two locations. And the pizza owner, store owner, restaurant owner was suffering saying, "I don't know what I'm going to do. I might close." So they decided to offer through their service center, the dealership, sterilizing the cars. So people come in, they pay $25 to have their car sterilized, which people need right now because they can get back in their car from wherever they are and they're worried about how long the virus might live in their car. And then they're taking that $25, buying pizzas from the pizza shop owner and then taking the pizza, actually delivering it to the frontline medical personnel at the hospitals. Awesome man. Awesome. Great. And who doesn't love pizza? Everybody loves pizza. So it's a great cause. It's just like a win-win-win, and I think people will even go in and get their car sterilized if they probably think, "Well, my car's fine, but they'll probably do it anyway if they have 25 extra dollars." Right? That's right. And Carey, the reason why I share, I'm here to help anyone in my life because that's my path. I think that's what the Lord wants me to do is help people and that's what I'm going to finish my life doing, continue. Because a lot of people who don't know how I got into radio station, how I got into podcasting. How did I get into this? When I went to school at the University of Houston for business, I own an insurance company, very successful one here in Texas. How did I change everything and went into this? Well, in the insurance industry I needed to sell more and more and more. So, I needed to promote myself. I had to go do advertisement at radio stations and this and that. It would cost me money. Univision was killing me, $800 a week. You can imagine the numbers a month, a year and every day. That was only for 30 minutes once a week, not even every day. So I started thinking saying, "Hey, you know what, I might need to go ahead and do this on my own." So finally, I met someone who would say, "Hey, I could put a studio for you. I could put a radio for you, this and that." I said, "You know what, I'm investing my money into this because it's pretty much my marketing money that I'm doing." Well, to make a long story shorter, he left me two years later by myself. Just want you guys to know this. I would come in here to the studio, sit and I would just look at the video camera and I would just talk because he would work everything. I would just pretty much sit and just talk and never learned nothing, never knew anything. I saw so many cables. I saw so many things and I never paid attention. I don't need to know this because he's here. Well, one day someone came, offered him more money, this and this and that, took him from me and then he never taught me nothing in my life. I asked him, "Can you teach me?" He said, "No, I'm gone." He left. People have bad heart. So how did I get into this? Well, I learned it on my own, everybody. I learned it on my own. I came, I was stressed. There were days I would come and say, "Man, how am I going to turn this thing on? What am I going to press? Nothing. What about if I mess up this and people are not listening to me? What about this?" And I would press the stuff and the radio will go down. So one day I went into Guitar Center and the gentleman that was selling products saw me all stressed out and I said, "I need to buy maybe this. I've been reading on and this and that." He goes, "Man, you know what Sassa? You're a good guy, man? I like you. Ever since you've been coming here, you've been showing me how to love." I said, "Man, I appreciate that. Johnny." He says, "What's wrong with you?" I said, "Man, this happened to me, this and that." He goes, "Man, you know what Sassa, if you give me till Thursday man, I'm off and I can come in and look at your studio, look at your station and I can help you and see what you... And I could teach you." Wow. I said, "You would?" He goes, "Yes man, I'm here to help man and I want to help you. I know you're stressed." He came, he put things together, he spent time, he showed me, he did everything and he taught me everything. He left this studio running like a multimillion dollar radio station. Okay? Really good. And guess what? That's how I learned everybody. So when you start thinking about fear already, fear brings to you, fear comes to you. You will have hurdles in your new venture you're going do from now on after COVID-19. You will have a street with many rocks and you have to maybe jump on more, you know this and that and curve and this, but never give up and there will always be... I mean, I get chills because the Lord is telling me to share this with you and I'm telling you, you will always have some angel that will come into your life because remember, continue practicing your good deeds. He will help you. The angel will come and help you. They will always be angels out there. They will leave you and give you a hand and say, "Man, I'm here to help." That's why you don't give up. You continue fighting. Today our radio station is listened to all over the world, Elsassa Radio. You could download the app. It's a radio E-L-S-A-S-S-A Radio. Elsassa Radio and you can also check our website. It's elsassaradio.com and I learned in that way. That's how I got into this. Never in my life, I imagined I would be doing this. Never went to school for this and now we have what? An app. We have a new website coming in, entertainment and we just continue sharing this. And just to show you the powerful... How this does. How do you and I meet? On Instagram. Correct? Yeah. And here we're doing this podcast. That's an amen. God bless that conversation. That's how I started testing. I wanted to share this and I wanted to tell you, you have a friend in me, just like your audience has a friend of me and my audience have a friend as well. So my positive feedback from me to them and to you is, you are a warrior, you are a fighter and you are the most valuable thing to you. Never give up. Remember, you can do this. You can. That's right. I love that. That's beautiful. And likewise, Sassa you have a lifetime friend in me and I do believe that we were, God made us born perfect and it's just we're the ones that don't see ourselves as perfect in God's eyes. But we are. If you really listen to what you're here for and what you are good at and what you're great at and how you're special, that can just really evolve into things in your life that open up as major blessings. Thank you girl. You know what? I know we're getting to the end of this hour. I really had a great, great time doing this podcast. We need to do this more often. Me too. Maybe have an idea of might pop out of this and we might be starting to do this, consistently and I like that because you know what, I need ATL coming out of the way H-town together, making this for people that need us right now. I love it. I want to tell you, stay safe. Uh, take care of your family. Hope one day I get a chance to see you and meet you and hug you, once everything is gone, Coronavirus is gone for good. That's right. I tell you what's going to happen to me, as soon as this COVID-19 is done, I'm actually going to take a little vacation back to my place where I'm from originally. Go to the beach and I'm going to just drink me a margarita and say, "Thank God this is over." Because it's so stressful for everybody, that everybody just needs a relief in some way or the other. But again, keep being a fighter. Keep doing what you're doing. I love your podcast. You do an amazing job. Not only are you a beautiful woman from the outside, but you are a beautiful angel, beautiful person in your heart inside. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to do this with you today. I loved it. I had a good time and we will continue working together. I think I just want to go ahead and say hello to everybody that was listening to us. We lost her for a minute, but you know what? We want to go ahead and say goodbye and see you, till the next one. El Sassa Radio, with you. Don't forget, follow me on Instagram Elsassa37. Chao chao Be good.

When the lockdown was even threatening to hit, Claire and her husband Brendan had a plan! They always have a plan which is great right? So as the crisis rapidly approached us here in the UK the owners of The Lifestyle Studios in Scissett, Huddersfield were busy making plans and considering 'what if?' which meant that when some social distancing rules came into play early in March they added more classes to their member timetable but cut the number of people able to attend down to just 8, changed the class plans so people were working solely in their own areas and with their own equipment. Following each class, they would disinfect EVERYTHING and go again with the next 8. It was a great plan. Then, the inevitable happened and the government announced that all gyms were to be closed one Friday tea time and true to form, yes you guessed it, they had another plan. They spent all that night getting together their equipment so that they could lend them to their PT clients and they could continue their sessions online, they were all given separate collection slots on the Saturday morning so were able to kick off with their online PT sessions really quickly. They did the same for their class members and have been successfully running their usual classes via zoom for over a month now. Unbelievably and to their credit, they have not lost a single member and they maintain the community that they have worked hard to achieve over the last 7 years. We just know they are going to be in an even stronger position once the lockdown is lifted and no doubt they will have yet another plan! A class for any non members that have developed bad habits and lost any fitness they did have might be one to consider Claire!! We know at least one person that would be up for that!

Unbelievably, there’s a second episode. We’re still figuring things out, though, so maybe consider Sharknado VII instead?

The Easter Effect, Pt. 3 The Resurrection Effect By Louie Marsh, 4-12-2020   1) DEATH really is an irremediable problem.   If death is the end life has no true MEANING OR PURPOSE.   5  For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Ecclesiastes 9:5 (ESV)   2) The road to faith in the Resurrection is different for EVERYONE.   12  Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. Luke 24:12 (NIV)   8  Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; John 20:8 (ESV)   25  …” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” 26  Eight days later…Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said…to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” John 20:25-27 (ESV)   3) But they were all changed by the RESURRECTION EFFECT.   11  This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12  And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” 13  Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:11-13 (ESV)   18  So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19  But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20  for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:18-20 (ESV)   20  And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.” 21  And all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?” 22  But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ. Acts 9:20-22 (ESV)   When Love Came To Town-Bono, B.B. King   I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side But I've seen love conquer the great divide When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town   4) I must let the Resurrection Effect IMPACT my life as well.   37  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39 (ESV) Brendan's Testimony - I am giving this testimony because I am totally astounded at what God has done in my life! I was so fed up with life, but it just didn't occur to me that God could be real - or if he was, why he would want anything to do with someone like me. About this time last year, I was stuck on a seemingly endless treadmill of working, getting stoned, and sleeping. This had been going on for years. I was aware that drugs had taken over my life. I had grown dissatisfied. I no longer enjoyed life as I once had. The crunch came when I lost yet another job because of my skunk-induced laziness. This time I was really angry at myself! I couldn't understand why my life was like this and other people's lives were not. In a rare moment of self-admitted weakness, I broke, and asked God, "Oh, show me if you're real!" Unbelievably, I found an Alpha course leaflet posted through the letterbox by a complete stranger. I phoned the number and haven't looked back since. Through the Alpha course, I found out that God really is real, Jesus really is real, and the Holy Spirit is alive and well and living everywhere! Oh, and did I mention that prayer actually works, if done properly! Cordie's Testimony – When I was a member of the James Island Fire Department, we were called out to a house fire. After we arrived it was noted that the fire was located in the den and consumed most of the entire den before we could get it extinguished. After putting the fire out we performed a clean up of all burned materials. This is known in fireman's lingo as salvage or overhaul. As I looked around the room, I noticed that the den had a player piano. It had gotten so intensely hot in the den that the keys on the piano were melted into one big lump. Some fires reach a thousand degrees or more. As I was cleaning up the room I noticed a large book. I picked it up and discovered it was a family Bible. As I dusted it off it appeared to be in good shape. I took the Bible out to the lady of the house and gave her my regrets. This was the only thing to survive. As we looked at the book we noticed that the pages were not even tarnished. The Word of God had gone through the heat undamaged. This experience is one I will never forget. Discussion Questions: How do you FEEL about our focus on feelings? Besides the resurrection, is there another reason for the Disciple’s change in behavior? What’s your testimony of the Resurrection Effect in your life?

Adam, Isaac, and Kurckland (who, UNBELIEVABLY, has NEVER SEEN THESE MOVIES), finish up their discussion discuss of the second installment of Peter Jackson's 2002 adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Ring's trilogy The Two Towers. Join us as we follow the continued journey of the broken fellowship as Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas join Theoden, the men of Rohan, and a company of Elves against 10,000 of Sarumon's Uruk-Hai army at Helm's Deep (in one of the greatest action/battle sequences in film history). Also the Ents march on Isengard, while Frodo and Sam follow Gollum deeper into Mordor and closer to their destination, but also the great eye.   If you like what you hear please like/share/follow/sub on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, and Facebook @dtbpod, and on Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube @dtbpod and @quitterrant.

Unbelievably crazy times. Now that I have daily habits aligned with my values, it is very hard for me outside forces to knock me off course. When I did not have that structure it was very easy for the midlife triangle of chaos to pull me off course and want to sedate. The daily game of the core 4 of doing something for my body, being, balance and business pulls your entire life together. Sit back and relax and listen to today's TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news of some absolute stunning reversals today.First up, there has been a stunning increase in claims for unepmloyment benefits in the US. We have previously suggested that there would be a huge spike up from 281,000 last week, itself a +30% jump from the prior week. A level approach 2 mln was suggested. But the actual level of claims has come far, far higher at 3,283,000. And this may be understated as some state unemployment registration systems were overwhelmed with applicants. Given that the American middle class is the global engine of economic activity, we can't overstate the importance of this disaster. It has global implications and there will be global repercussions. There has never been as swift an economic shock in the world, ever.Reinforcing the gravity, was a minor regional Fed survey, this time from the Kansas City Fed. It reported a very sharp drop in all factory measures in that district. New order levels dived. Firms are reporting they may have to shut down. It will be a story repeated nationwide.So far today, the NY Fed has purchased US$159 bln in repo transactions, US$21 bln in mortgage backed securities, and US$45 bln in US Treasuries. That is US$225 bln in just one day. So far this week - yes, only the four days this week - the NY Fed buying has totaled more than US$1.1 tln in liquidity support, including more than US$¼ tln in US Treasuries, more than US$0.4 tln in mortgage-backed securities and more than US$0.4 tln in repo transactions. That is also the highest weekly level on 'unlimited' financial system support, ever. To put that weekly total in perspective, the US Congress has 'only' enacted fiscal support for the whole crisis of US$2 tln. Clearly, much, much more will be needed. States will need massive bailouts just to run their unemployment claims programs.The American real estate markets is heading for a deep freeze. US mortgage rates fell.Unbelievably, after all this wreckage, the equity markets are up strongly, with the S&P500 up +4% so far today. European markets were up too, but less. Asian markets fell yesterday, and fell sharply in Tokyo yesterday, down -4.5%.China says export orders will drop -30% in March. They may be being optimistic. This is a major threat to their employment levels. Stresses have been building for some time. In fact, balances in Chinese wealth management products fell -16% in 2019. They will have fallen far sharper in 2020 so far.Job losses in Europe are mushrooming too.In Australia, a regulator is increasingly concerned about the liquidity of their superannuation funds and is seeking data and reassurance they are still solvent from each of them. Even more fundamentally, S&P says it expects mortgage arrears will soar soon in Australia. [Advert]Now, we have an urgent message for you today.If you value this report and want to ensure to is available in the future, we ask you go on to interest.co.nz and show that support by clicking on the “Become a Supporter” button at the top of any page.If you have already done so, our grateful thanks.

Five are now hospitalised. Our officials now expect our caseload to rise into the thousands before we gain control. Even in lockdown and this data, we don't know how lucky we are.Worldwide, the latest compilation of Covid-19 data is here. The global tally is now 495,000 of officially confirmed cases, more than doubling in a week. There are now 413,000 cases outside China and almost all of them are in five core countries. Italy is up +5000 from just yesterday morning's tally. The US is up 14,000 cases from the same time and now at just under 70,000 cases. Sadly however, case numbers in the rest of the world are shooting up, up to over 100,000 now. Australia now has 2810 cases, a rise +20% in one day. The official death toll is over 22,000 worldwide, but is probably much higher - as is the real infection rate.The UST 10yr yield is soft again today at under 0.78% but it is quite volatile. Gold is up again today, up +US18 at US$1,632/oz.US oil prices are down sharply today to under US$23/bbl and the Brent benchmark is also sharply lower at just over US$26/bbl. Both represent drops of almost -US$2/bbl. Prices are dropping because there is nowhere to store the oil being produced as demand crashes.The Kiwi dollar is starting today much firmer than this time yesterday as the greenback takes a hammering, now at 59.7 USc and up +1½c. On the cross rates however we are up +1c at 98.5 AUc. Against the euro we are also up +½c at 54.2 euro cents.

It’s official — St. Patrick’s Day is canceled. When one of the most gregarious peoples on Earth cancels such an iconic celebration because of Covid-19, you know it’s serious. When Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald suggested the cancellation, she was ridiculed. Now everyone agrees with her. She called it right, and now there’s a growing feeling in Ireland that following her extraordinary victory in last month’s Irish elections, it’s time to put a woman in charge. So, to discuss the rise and rise of Sinn Fein, we invited Ruairí Ó Murchú, TD for Dundalk, County Louth, to join us on the show. In the shortest time imaginable Marc Zammit has gone from protégé to prodigious award-winning talent as an actor, producer, and film director. Unbelievably, he’s only 31, brought up on a council estate from a poor background, he’s not from the usual luvvy classes. He acted for 20 years, starting as a child in theater school, and has been directing for only two years. His crowdfunded directorial debut feature, Homeless Ashes, telling us the story of the homeless people we see all around us. “They’re not pigeons, they’re not dogs; they’re human beings,” he says. So, we invited Marc into the Sputnik studio to tell us more.

You can find all of the shows, including this one, at podcast.asco.org. [MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome to today's version of the ASCO Cancer Stories podcast. Today, my guest on the podcast is Dr. Clara Bloomfield. Dr. Bloomfield was instrumental in the early studies investigating the biology of leukemias and lymphomas, and also the interaction between various molecular markers and treatment. She founded the Correlative Science Committee of The Cancer and Leukemia Group B, which is now designated the Alliance in the 1980s. And I believe that was probably the first such committee in the cooperative groups, and she chaired it for at least 25 years. Her work resulted in numerous groundbreaking insights that led to changes in practice. Personally, and having worked with her for several of those years in CALGB, I really consider her one of the first investigators to perform what we now blithely called, quote, "translational," end of quote, science in cancer. Dr. Bloomfield was born in New York City, but her father, who was an expert in labor and industrial relations, moved the family to Washington, DC during World War II. And after the war, he then took a position at the University of Illinois, leading Dr. Bloomfield to have a nearly lifelong association with the Midwest. She attended undergraduate school at the University of Wisconsin, but then graduated from San Diego State College during a brief foray to the West Coast. She returned to the Midwest to attend medical school at the University of Chicago, and then completed her internal medicine residency and her medical oncology fellowship at the University of Minnesota, where she stayed on faculty until 1989. She then became chair of the Department of Medicine at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo for the next eight years, and then moved to the Ohio State University, where she accepted the position as director of the comprehensive and now designated the James Cancer Center. She's remained at OSU and is currently a distinguished university professor and the William G. Pace II professor of cancer research and a senior advisor at the OSU James Cancer Center. Dr. Bloomfield has authored hundreds of peer-reviewed papers. She is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. She's, frankly, won just too many awards that I can name here. But importantly, she served on the ASCO board of directors, and in 2009, she gave the David A. Karnofsky Memorial Lecture, the highest honor our society can bestow. Clara, welcome to our program. Thank you. You know, I have a lot of questions for you, many of which I thought about that I should have asked you 30 years ago or so when we first started working together in CALGB. But I think the biggest one is, how did you get interested in leukemia in the first place? Were any particular personal insights that resulted in the basis of your career? Or was it just happenstance? I think it happened because in grade school, I had a number of classmates who developed leukemia. And they were sent to the National Cancer Institute because people in those days didn't treat leukemia. And they returned with steroid-bloated faces and soon died. And I thought, well, wouldn't it be cool to develop medicine that could save kids from dying? I'd already decided to become a doctor, so seeing the real-life effects of cancer helped shape my early desire to become an oncologist. So that must have been about the same time, a little bit after, that Drs. Frei, and Freireich, and Holland started combination therapy for leukemia. They must have had a big impact on your career then. I don't remember. [? No, ?] I'm kidding. Actually, the other question-- I know that you spent some time at Stanford and ran into Henry Kaplan. And there was a cute anecdote, I think, about how you presented with his backing at one of the conferences. Can you tell us a little bit about Dr. Kaplan and your work with him? Sure. During my junior and senior years in medical school, I did a sub-internship at the University of California at San Francisco. And I saw a patient with Hodgkin's disease who was not being treated with curative intent. And I said to the attending, you're not giving this patient modern therapy. And the attending replied, well, if you're so smart, we'll have you do grand rounds on how to treat Hodgkin's disease. Remember, I was a medical student. So I called Professor Henry Kaplan at Stanford for advice. And he was great, and he said, well, they never want me to come. I'd be happy to come and help you give grand rounds. So to the surprise of my attending and awe as a medical student, I conducted grand rounds at the University of California at San Francisco with Professor Kaplan. That must have been a big surprise. Yes, I think it was. Actually, one of my interviews has been with Saul Rosenberg, and he also had some great stories about Dr. Kaplan when they first started giving chemotherapy at Stanford. And Kaplan was apparently quite supportive of doing this. So-- Yes, he was. --I never got to meet him. Yeah. Another question, again, about the time you entered the field, I referred to what I consider the big three, Frei, Freireich, and Holland, but their therapy was really pretty empiric for leukemia. It was just hoping that giving more drugs would be better than one drug. But you really got us into genetics. What made you do that? I mean, what made you think that we could treat people, really, with precision medicine better than we did in those days? Well, my second research project I had as a fellow, which was presented at ACR in May of 1972 and published in April of 1973, involved daunorubicin-prednisone therapy for AML. And in that, the question was raised in patients without Auer rods, the question were these of CML in blast crisis was raised, so chromosome studies were done. And this got me started studying cytogenetics in leukemia, and subsequently molecular genetics. And also, you asked if I had a role model, and the answer is no. I did not have a role model. I know that very early on in your career, you published a very controversial paper suggesting that the Philadelphia chromosome could be found in acute lymphocytic leukemia, which at the time, I think, was probably heresy, since it had been associated with CML. I understand that you interacted with Avery Sandberg, the [? tube ?] giant. I remember hearing about Avery Sandberg when I was a freshman in college in genetics, and he supported you. What was the background behind that? At the 1975 ASH meeting, I presented an abstract, I gave a talk on the Philadelphia chromosome-- on Philadelphia chromosome positive acute leukemia. And after that talk, many prominent cytogeneticists raised questions about the validity of my findings. However, Avery Sandberg, while surprised by the findings, said, she may be right. Sometimes these youngsters get things that we've missed. And did you walk out beating your chest? That must have been quite a moment. I was happy that he-- I was happy that he supported me. Well, I want to go on to some of your other work, but I'm going to tell you that in our fellows clinical conference here a couple of weeks ago, which I attend every week, one of the fellows started talking about FLT3 leukemia. But his comment was leukemia is described as the most genomically defined cancer. And I didn't bring it up at that meeting, but I thought, you owe Clara Bloomfield for that statement. You should be really proud of your work. I almost picked up the phone to call you to tell you that our fellows don't know that you did the work. They should, and that's why we're doing these podcasts. So the only thing-- I know you challenged dogma was the treatment of older patients with leukemia. And as you and I both get older, I think it becomes more near and dear to our heart. Can you give some insight into that? I mean, my impression, when I was a fellow, was we just kind of said, oh, you're over 60, it's not worth treating you. But I think you really challenged that and changed that dogma. So ASH [INAUDIBLE] the third paper I published and project that I started on when I started as a fellow, because I was asked to do this by one of my attendings, was to look at treating older patients with acute leukemia. In the early 1970s, which we're talking about, it was considered that standard intensive treatment of patients with acute leukemia over the age of 40 or 50 years of age was malpractice or at least wrong. So when I was asked to look at this, we had a few patients over the age of 60 with AML treated with what was then standard intensive chemotherapy. So I compared the outcome of patients aged 21 to 40, 41 to 60, and 61 to 86 years. And what I found was that patients aged 41 to 60 and greater than 60 responded equally well. As a result, we said that patients over 60 should be treated. This meant that what we did was told major researchers in leukemia that they were wrong. This caused quite a stir, as you might imagine. And interestingly, within the next five to 10 years, they all came back to me and said they had been wrong. In that regard, I watched you in CALGB. I was on the solid tumor side, obviously, but you were really a pioneer in organizing and conducting translational research and correlative research in leukemia in the cooperative groups. When you started, I don't think there was any of that, was there? Were there a lot of obstacles to doing that? I think everybody just takes it for granted now, especially with so-called precision medicine. But what did you have to do to get that started at CALGB? From 1982 on, I was chair of the Correlative Science Committee in Cancer and Leukemia Group B. In 1984, I actually started to have NIH grant to support correlative science in the CALGB cooperative group. In 1984, we already had a trial in Cancer and Leukemia Group B to do cytogenetics in acute leukemia. I mean, a lot of this work was based on my work in cytogenetics. And while there may have been clinicians who were opposed, I had the support of important people like Professor Janet Rowley and the cytogeneticists at the CALGB institutions. And there really were not significant obstacles that I can remember. Of course, if there were people who tried to block me, I probably didn't care and worked around them. I'm sure that's true. I am too. This is part of what-- when you're one of the few women, as I was when I started in the field, I mean, I suppose I was always getting blocked about things, I just don't think much about it. I didn't then and I don't now. That segues into my final question, actually. And these days, more than half of our medical students are women. More than half of our residents are women at the University of Michigan. More than half of our fellows in hem-onc are women. Increasingly, the faculty is there. But when you started, you were really a pioneer, I think, in introducing women into clinical and laboratory research in oncology and academic medical leadership. And I just want to list the things, because I don't think you will, that I think you've done. First, I understand you were the first woman chief resident at the University of Minnesota, the first woman full professor in medicine at the University of Minnesota, one of the first women chairs of medicine in the United States when you were at Roswell Park, the third woman to be director of an NCI-designated Cancer Center. And frankly, as I was preparing this, I was on an airplane and I was watching A Matter of Sex about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and I thought, this is a really familiar story. Do you have any war stories that you thought were particularly telling when you began? And especially, for example, I know you have a story about what the dean told you when you were considering becoming an academic professor. Do you have anything to inspire the people listening to this podcast? I'm sure there were some probably pretty aggressive war stories that I don't remember. And as I said, I don't tend to think about what happened in the past since I'm trying to keep up with the present. But I guess there are a couple of stories. Unbelievably, when I was a medical student, I always sat in the front row in class because that was the only way I could see the slides. And the dean, medical school dean, called me into his office and said it was not ladylike to sit in the front row. And I told him-- it's unbelievable really-- I told him that when he became a lady, he could tell me how to act like one, and walked out on him. But the more important story, I suppose-- that I can remember-- is that when I was appointed an associate professor, which occurred three years after I became an assistant professor, so the head of medicine called me in and said, congratulations, Clara. This is a great accomplishment. He went on to say, however, that since your husband is on the faculty and gets a good salary, we are not going to increase your salary. So when I came home, I told my husband, where upon he called the dean, who called the University president, who said, you be sure she gets the same salary or higher than the highest one you've ever given a new associate professor in medicine. Thus, my pay issue was immediately resolved. It's hard to believe that's a true story, except I saw similar things myself as I was going up, and they were getting corrected, at least. Well, anyway, we're running out of time. And I just want to thank you for all the things you've done, the contributions you've made to the field. Your legacy is incredible, in my opinion. And I think people will long remember what Clara Bloomfield has done in terms of changing how we treat leukemia, changing the treatment of leukemia into groups of patients who traditionally weren't treated, like older folks, and probably the pioneering work you did in bringing women into science and medicine, especially in oncology. So thanks for taking time to speak with me today. And I think people are going to be really thrilled to listen to your story as they drive to work and say, wow, I didn't realize that that's what it was like back in the old days. So thanks so much. And I think, especially, our young and translational scientists, particularly women, and also, most importantly, our patients deserve to give you credit for all of the things you've done and [? thanks ?] you've done.

Unbelievably another month has passed so Nick and Jim look at stories that made the news this month, ranging from dead badgers hanging on Chris Packham's gate to stroppy students not understanding democracy!

Dr. Ben Burnett served as a school administrator through Hurricane Katrina but he never imagined he would face two more powerful tornadoes later in his career. In Part 1 of our interview about what to do when a natural disaster strikes your school district, Dr. Ben Burnett reflected on how he and his colleagues kept students and teachers focused after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Burnett was the principal of a middle school in Lamar County Mississippi during the devasting hurricane, but a few years later he took on the responsibilities of Lamar County Superintendent. But even Hurricane Katrina could not fully prepare Burnett for what happened to one of his high schools just eight years after Katrina. Dr. Ben Burnett On February 10, 2013, Oak Grove High School, near Hattiesburg Mississippi was struck by a powerful EF4 tornado that cut a path three-quarters of a mile wide and had maximum sustained winds of 170 mph. The tornado demolished a field house and caused significant damage to much of the large high school. Burnett says that as he first rounded the corner to survey the damage at Oak Grove High School, he thought, nobody ever prepared him on how to manage in this situation. Fortunately, the storm struck on a Sunday, and while there were a few people in the school, there were no fatalities or injuries. However, the cleanup expenses would run into the millions and the disruptions to instructional time and extracurricular activities had to be addressed. By 2017 Burnett had retired as Superintendent and he was now the Dean of Education at William Carey University. Unbelievably, a powerful EF3 tornado struck at Burnett's new job site. It was his third natural disaster. In the early morning hours of January 21st. The tornado packed winds of 145mph and damaged 58 of the 60 buildings on WCU's campus. Remarkably, Burnett's William Carey University story is one of resileence. They adminstration moved quickly and had students back in class in just two days. To hear the full story on how Dr. Ben Burnett responded to both tornadoes, listen to Episode 139 of the Class Dismissed Podcast. This is part two of a two-part interview.
