Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that. I'm sure it's happened … Rory understands things like that are going to happen.”Fake billionaire manbaby “retirements” continue DRSpotify CEO Daniel Ek to Step Down.

Over the past months, For The Wild has journeyed to the Yukon in partnership with Illuminating Worldviews. Illuminating Worldviews is a space for examining the worldviews in which we find ourselves and to learn how they actively shape the material realities of our lives. This project, rooted and colored by the land of the Yukon invites questioning, examination, and future visioning centered in Indigenous ideology and the sentiment of journeying. In this conversation, Ayana is joined by Dr. Lee Brown and Elder Mark Wedge to discuss emotional competency and how we can regulate ourselves amidst all that this world brings. What does it mean to have a colonized heart? Is it to separate ourselves from our emotions? Touching upon the role of feeling in our overall wellbeing, they highlight how emotional regulation and connection are essential to the work of decolonization. This episode is a resounding testament to the healing that comes from embodiment and fully felt experience.Learn more at https://forthewild.world.CreditsThis series was produced thanks to the generous support of the team at Illuminating Worldviews, held by the RIVER collective and Northern Council for Global Cooperation.

This week on Payne Points of Wealth, Bob, Ryan, Chris, and Courtney dive into the evolving dynamics of the U.S. labor market. Despite predictions of a slowdown, companies are hesitant to lay off workers—even as hiring remains sluggish. Is this a sign of economic weakness, or are deeper demographic shifts like an aging population and reduced immigration reshaping the workforce? We also unpack Wall Street's push to make alternative investments more accessible to everyday investors—a movement often branded as “democratization.” While financial firms tout the benefits of private equity and other alternatives, few are talking about the risks. In fact, as retail investors are being encouraged to buy in, institutional giants are quietly heading for the exits. Yale's $41.4 billion endowment is unwinding nearly $3 billion in alternative holdings. Meanwhile, private credit—a market that barely existed a decade ago—is surging toward $2 trillion. Firms like Apollo and Blackstone are now lending directly to businesses, consumers, and real estate investors, giving regular investors unprecedented access. But is this truly a golden opportunity, or a hidden risk to your retirement? We break down the opaque, illiquid nature of these investments and what they could mean for your long-term financial future. Tune in for our take on what's really happening in the job market and whether Wall Street's latest pitch is worth your hard-earned dollars.
The out-of-this-world Ron Howard classic, Apollo 13, has just turned 30 years old. We brought back to the pod a close friend and super NASA nerd, Pat Nelson, to break this film down. We've never seen him so excited to talk about anything. It was really fun getting his perspective on this film and you might just learn something from this episode :)

On Prophecy Radio episode #142, Karen and Kristen dissect the latest Percy Jackson and the Olympians news, plus the release of The Court of the Dead by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro. They also discuss The Red Pyramid chapters 37 and 38, including their favorite moments and what they think will happen next. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:10:37) The Court of the Dead by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro is officially out in the world! Did you get any of the special editions? (We definitely did.) Did you see the pictures and videos of Rick signing books and Funkos? Leah turned 16 last month! Do these Percy Jackson and the Olympians behind-the-scenes clips mean we'll be getting another BTS documentary?? We go through a slightly older Entertainment Weekly article to discuss the next Senior Year Adventures book. When can we expect the third and final Senior Year book to come out? Rick is strictly a middle grade author, and we're cool with that. What other gods would make for good series fodder a la Trials of Apollo? Other character-centric books are still on the table, and boy do we want them! The Red Pyramid discussion (00:29:14) All right, let's refresh our brains on what happened last time. Good. Now we can jump into The Red Pyramid chapter 37. Why does Set keep flickering between forms? We've really come around on Amos since we learned the truth. Set is SO sassy, and we're kind of here for it. Horus still wants to take over Carter's body, and Carter is still telling him no. Uh, where the heck is Nephthys? Sadie protecc. Thank goodness Carter figures out what Zia meant when she told him not to resist. Carter turns into a total badass! Favorite lines and favorite scenes. All right, time to jump into The Red Pyramid chapter 38. Carter having fun fighting and beating up on Set is slightly concerning. Why do they BOTH bleed black? They're about to bring down the house, so Carter tricks Set into becoming a fruit bat and then drags him outside the pyramid. Will Sadie be able to free their dad from the throne and his sarcophagus? We kind of already knew how to defeat Set, but he really lays it out for Carter. Did we feel bad about what happened to Desjardins? We totally did not expect Set to put the capstone on top of the pyramid. Sadie is a freaking rainbow, y'all! What name could Sadie have shouted? We wanted to read the next chapter SO BAD! But we discuss our favorite lines and favorite moments instead. Feedback (01:09:31) Ensign_Davies and Maria write in to tell us what they think of The Court of the Dead. Caoimhe is super excited about Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, and she let's us know one of our previous episodes was missing links. That's all fixed now! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 143, where we'll discuss The Red Pyramid chapters 39 and 40, as well as get you up to date on more Percy Jackson and Rick Riordan news. This episode's hosts are: Karen and Kristen Each episode, Prophecy Radio‘s hosts will discuss any official news coming out of Camp Half-Blood before doing a chapter by chapter reread of Percy Jackson or one of Rick Riordan's other series.

In this episode, Martin Willis speaks with producer Nugent Cantileno, who shares a remarkable story from his early career as a Fox News intern in 2009. While working on an Apollo 11 documentary, Nugent accidentally came across raw NASA footage that seemed to capture something extraordinary—audio of an astronaut mentioning a UFO and visuals of a perfectly round, fast-moving object crossing Earth's surface. Nugent describes the moment he realized he wasn't supposed to see the clip, how his skeptical boss reacted, and his later attempts to track down the same footage online. He also shares his broader thoughts on UFOs, from interdimensional and spiritual interpretations to the role of AI in modern disclosure, plus his own personal sightings. This conversation goes beyond one startling tape—it's about how personal experience, research, and changing attitudes have shaped Nugent's perspective on the UFO/UAP mystery.SHOW NOTES

On today's podcast we're joined by someone who really needs no introduction, Ron Howard. You know him from the “Andy Griffith Show,” “Happy Days,” and of course his incredible directing career with films like “Apollo 13” and “A Beautiful Mind.” But today, we're talking about a project that's especially meaningful during disability awareness month, his 1980 film “Skyward,” which can be watched on YouTube. It's the story of a young woman in a wheelchair who refuses to let her disability stop her from pursuing her dream of flying. The film is uplifting, inspiring, and still resonates today. Ron tells about a co-worker who helped him make the film and some of his thoughts on the movie industry.

In this episode, Dave, Rob, and Kurt step into the ring with Rocky IV (1985), one of the most over-the-top and iconic entries in the franchise. We'll dive into the big questions fans have debated for decades: did Rocky single-handedly solve the Cold War with his fists and an inspiring speech? And when it comes to Apollo Creed's tragic death at the gloves of Ivan Drago, who really shoulders the blame—Apollo himself, Rocky for not throwing in the towel, or the unstoppable force that was Drago? Along the way, we'll look at how this film turned boxing into a symbol of global politics and gave audiences a hero who could seemingly take on an entire superpower. Of course, no discussion of Rocky IV is complete without talking about the montages—the heart-pumping, sweat-drenched, music-driven sequences that might just be the best in movie history. From training in the Siberian wilderness to Drago's high-tech gym sessions, the film pushes the art of the montage to new heights, all set against a killer 80s-inspired soundtrack packed with arena-rock anthems that defined the decade. Join us as the three of us break down the movie, its legacy, and whether this slice of 80s cinema magic is more than just cheesy patriotism wrapped in a boxing glove.

My interview with Michael Bentley, CEO of Euler Labs. - DeFi adoption surged from zero to $3 billion on Euler in just nine months - Institutional players such as BlackRock and Apollo are tokenising money market funds on-chain - Stablecoin growth is driving new lending and borrowing markets in DeFi - Traditional fintechs are starting to use DeFi rails as back-end infrastructure - Retail adoption still faces UX and UI hurdles, but fintech integrations may bridge the gap - Michael predicts explosive growth if even a fraction of traditional finance moves on-chain - Despite risks like hacks and smart contract bugs, DeFi offers transparency and antifragility compared to traditional finance Powered by Phoenix Group The full interview is also available on my YouTube channel: YouTube: http://bit.ly/42iIc9r

I denne RumSnak skal det handle om multiverser - altså ideen om at der på en eller anden måde findes parallelle universer som enten kan ligne vores eget eller være helt forskellige. Vi dykker meget dybere i både kvantemekanik, matematiske modeller og filosofiske udfordringer, når vi har besøg af professor Klaus Mølmer fra Niels Bohr Institutet. Vi skal blandt andet tale om fire forskellige typer af multiverser – inklusive kvantemekanikkens mangeverdens-fortolkninger – og så skal vi også høre om de kvantecomputere, som Klaus arbejder med til hverdag. De giver nemlig også anledning til diskussion om hvorvidt verden hele tiden spaltes i et uendeligt antal parallelle universer – eller om det "bare" er matematik... Udover at høre om multiverser skal vi også have et par aktuelle nyheder, denne gang blandt andet om Hayabusa2-fartøjets næste asteroidelanding, og om næringsfattig rumsalat. Lyt med

Moon Rock Challenges Lunar History: A tiny moon rock collected by Apollo 17, sample 76535, is revolutionizing our understanding of the Moon's early history. New simulations suggest it formed deep within the Moon's crust and rose to the surface 4.25 billion years ago through a gentle process rather than a violent impact. This finding indicates that the Moon's large impact basins could be 300 million years older than previously thought, prompting a reevaluation of the heavy bombardment period that shaped early planetary conditions.Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Launch: Blue Origin is preparing for the second launch of its New Glenn rocket, targeting mid-October. The mission will carry NASA's Escapade satellites, designed to study Mars's magnetosphere. This marks a significant milestone for commercial space as NASA increasingly relies on private companies for critical planetary exploration.Orionid Meteor Shower Peaks Soon: The annual Orionid meteor shower is set to peak between October 20th and 23rd. Originating from Halley's Comet, these meteors can be seen without a telescope and are known for their speed and bright fireballs. With the new moon on October 22, viewing conditions will be optimal.James Webb Telescope's Stunning Images: The James Webb Space Telescope has captured breathtaking images of Sagittarius B2, the most massive star-forming cloud in the Milky Way. Webb's observations reveal intricate structures and young stars, providing insights into star formation under extreme conditions near a supermassive black hole, and enhancing our understanding of potential habitable environments.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

For episode 258, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, I'm telling Myles about Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another (my rave review is here). We'll get into it more once he sees it for the next episode, but I'm fairly effusive in my praise. Many of our questions are about the film as well, so we discuss it in that regard too, while Anderson's Inherent Vice has been revisited (in part) by Myles, so there's plenty of PTA talk. Throw in some chatter about Apollo 13 as well as a preview of the New York Film Festival and we have a full episode.As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 258th one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!

[Music] Hello and thank you very much for listening to this episode of the Billy Newman Photo Podcast. I’m talking about a photograph that I made on the Oregon coast today doing Blue Hour probably. I think it was after the sun had set. It was sort of like the golden hour to talk about right as the hour as the sun is setting into sunset. The blue hour they also talk about as after the sun goes down there’s a lot of those blue kind of purple tones that show up in the atmosphere or you know in the clouds and in the water. There’s just a lot more of that tone as the sun drops and it’s a spectrum shift from what we see in the daylight to what we see at night time. But I think this was a photograph taken on the Oregon coast. I think your band-in if I’m right. And I really liked this photo. It just had it wasn’t really a big structure in the wave or a big curl or anything like that. That would be that’d be really striking but I really appreciate this photograph as kind of a close-up look at I just sort of the dreamy feeling of being on the coast. But it was definitely a photograph that I liked a lot and I like that line in the skies as it cuts across as you can kind of see at the top there there’s a bit of like a cloud break that goes down and that’s where we get a lot of that light from the sky in the background that kind of cuts underneath that big brim of cloud that goes over the top of the snet that causes a lot of bounce from the ground back up to the sky and then back down and you get a cooler or you get a defused sort of soft light in that effect which I think is really cool. You can see more of my work at billyneuminphoto.com. You can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look up billyneumin under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film, on the desert, on surrealism, on camping. Some cool stuff over there. Finished up that camping trip I was doing up the mountain creek there in the cascades a couple days ago. That was that like Wednesday. I think it was like maybe like Tuesday, Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. I think that was this super moon that was coming up that night if I remember right and that was pretty cool. It was cool to see the full moon up there and they always talk about the super moon which is kind of a I don’t know it’s a little bit of a misnomer but it’s cool to see too that I think they talk about happening every six months or so. Really it’s just kind of the oscillation of a bit of the eccentricities and the orbit of the moon that make it I think about 25,000 miles closer that it’s maximum and then maybe about 25,000 miles further away and it’s distant maximum but I think it’s really like a little bit of a sliver larger than it normally would be. If you notice though it’s a thing I learned way back and I think they they they show it in a scene in Apollo 13 but if you put your hand all the way out and you put your thumb up at all times you’re able to cover the entire full moon just with your thumbnail. It’s pretty wild but you got kind of always like visualize the moon is being this really big thing in the sky and really a lot of the time it’s it’s just as big as your thumbnail at arm’s reach which is kind of a trip but it’s kind of a it was cool to see the super moon that night it was really bright it was cool to kind of watch around and kind of look at how it was illuminating the forest and the trees and the mountains and stuff around me that was kind of nice to see cold that night though man I tell you so I have a 15 degree sleeping bag and that’s great 15 degrees is fine but and 15 degrees really is is more than adequate for most circumstances that I ended up in and during the summertime where it’s I don’t know it’s just not too big of a concern about how cold it gets but when it says 15 degrees it really means you’re going to be comfortable down to somewhere around 35 degrees but anywhere under 30 degrees is a pretty uncomfortable experience I think it means you’re going to stay alive that until it’s about 15 degrees so if it were me again buying something for maybe I don’t know a more heavy three season camping experience most of the time probably a lot of the nights out that I do even though I like to go at all times a year it seems like the majority of nights I go out are during the summer months or during like pretty fair weather seasons but if I were going to buy again which I’m going to try and get like a two or three sleeping bag system going if I was going to buy again I’d probably get a zero degree or maybe a negative 15 degree you know I could really use the warms because man what I noticed is even if it was just a little bit down to what would have been probably maybe I don’t know 29 or something like that it was you know it was a bit below freezing who knows how cold it really was it was only like an elevation of 2500 feet and it was a canyon I thought it was a clear night but I thought it would be relatively sheltered and yeah it was a lot of it was a lot of ice on my window when I woke up and it was a cold cold night to sit through too so yeah that 15 degree bag was just hold up out there but yeah if I was going to go again I think they have like a zero degree bag and then down below that they have like a negative 15 and like maybe like a negative 30 degree bag negative 30 sounds like a real warm like down back so I think mine’s a synthetic bag they talk about this sometimes where there’s like differences in the the thermal insulation qualities of the material that your sleeping bag is made out of and I think that the for it was it was an improvement actually you know above whatever cotton we were using for a while they were using wool stuff which was pretty smart that that works really well to be an insulating material and it doesn’t all right it works well with moisture and stuff and all the other things we know about marina wool is really cool everybody knows about that kind of stuff but we had like you know those really terrible big cotton sleeping bags way back those erupted and I don’t know if they were really even that insulating then they switched over to those synthetic materials which is probably all oil based is that sound right like a petroleum based like plastics product that was made out of synthetics I think that’s how they spin up a lot of those those I don’t know just those synthetic types of materials that they’re making these nylons out of so I think that was how all out of this this synthetic stuff had been made but really I think what they they talk about being the superior insulator is down and that’s what I’d hope to try and find as another zero degree or negative 15 degree sleeping bag would be a negative 15 degree down bag which is normally a bit more expensive you know when you’re looking around at the price points for these different sleeping bags if you’re trying to get into some colder weather camping stuff what you’re going to find is at those name brand or you know not even name brand this is a just a a bespoke manufacturer for a quality technical outdoors product is going to be very expensive and so that’s where you’re going to find I don’t know well you know three three 99 for a sleeping bag two 99 four 99 six 99 I’ve seen like a lot of pretty expensive prices out there I think Nimo makes some bags that are looking pretty cool that I’ve seen recommended a few times I’ve heard a big agnus they make tens most of the time though right they’re tank up and here aren’t they yeah stone glaciers one that I keep hearing kind of pop up here and there now for some sense marm it I think got some bags all right eyes so is you know a retailer of recreational equipment they’re closed right now though so I don’t even know if you could get an order from anyone like that but but they have some bags I think that’s where my synthetic bag was from that I’ve been using for the last I don’t know seven years or so so that’s it’s been fine but I also tested out the sleeping mat I got I got a new thermo rest sleeping mat and now big news it’s pretty exciting guys stay tuned it’s uh yeah it’s a larger sleeping mat than I have before but it’s a coded one with the I think it’s kind of like I don’t know it’s ballistic now but it’s that nylon coating over it so it’s not just the rubber mat at the base of it so you can throw it on the ground or on the semi abrasive materials that it would be outside and it’s working great I think it’s about one inch thick or so it’s about 25 inches wide at the shoulder point and it’s long enough to fit my old body which is probably a new one for me so yeah I got a solid camp mat I think for the last like three years I’m sleeping on one that goes flat about four hours after you start sleeping so that’s kind of nice to swap out I don’t know why I put up with it for so long really should do that sleep is like one of the best things you can get you know if you can figure out just like a couple easy things to take care of when you’re out camping or out in the woods and stuff it’s it’s probably sleep I mean that’s like the thing that takes you know and it’s frustrating too because when like even the last one I’m talking about didn’t sleep very well way too cold part of it you know enough shelter enough stuff that was kind of comfortable but really as it is yeah it’s like oh I need to I need to figure out a couple other extra things to kind of throw in there but yeah there’s just a couple things you can figure out when you’re going camping like how to stay warm or how to be comfortable when you do go or like when you are sleeping it’s like one of the most important and most I don’t know effective things you can do to kind of improve the way that a trip goes because like yeah I can be like I can be brutal the next day if you don’t get any sleep the night before which is probably the first half dozen camping trips of the year you know this first half dozen or so overnight to the year I’m just always kind of groggy and like oh why don’t I have to get up right now which is sort of how it was Wednesday morning when I woke up yeah I popped up and I think it was probably about five a.m. or so that I that I got up I think it was just about first light the sun had come up yeah but there’s a little bit of light up in the sky and the stars were kind of washed out by the blue sky so I hopped up and the fire was out I think from the night before like I was mentioning how those the sticks had worn out and the colds had started burning down even I think by the time I was near the end of my last podcast so I hopped out and the the back windows were clear there wasn’t any frost on it but the front window the windshield was ice over pretty hard really I mean it looked like it was you know like coated in water and then froze over solid so it wasn’t even just kind of like a fluffy bit of white frost or something that had built up on it through fog it just looked like a hard coating of just a nice sheet over the windshield so that no great I don’t have an ice scraper or something with me I’m thinking it’s me you know who needs an ice scraper I’m taking a sip of coffee so yeah I don’t know I grabbed a box I think it was a piece of cardboard out of the back that I could kind of flex around a bit through that over the windshield tried to run the truck for a bit try to warm it up it took a while too but yeah scraped off some ice scraped off a whole big enough to kind of get started on the drive and then prepped to take off but yeah I took some photos and stuff around the campsite for a bit first in the morning nice draw on the valley like I was talking about that goes up to that that ridge point that you can kind of see off in the distance and I think I could see like the the fire from the smoke or the smoke from the fire of the neighboring campers over there I don’t know if I’d mentioned it well yeah I definitely didn’t last one how they were they’re kind of doing brotes out in the on the road around sunset I think I got a little clip of it on video but yeah it’s like four or five of them and these kind of beater late 90s four by four trucks doing spins out in the dirt roads so looks fun I don’t know but they were I think getting the fire going and stuff in the morning too or whatever they had going from the night before if you can see a plume of it coming up from that area they would have been camping in over by the the creek bed downhill and yeah it was cool it took some photos and stuff that morning walked around kind of cleaned up the camp a little bit put the fire stuff out and jumped in the truck had that little hole in the ice to see through and then yeah popped on a podcast and cruised down the road and so what I was trying to do was it was take off down to a couple other spots along the creek while it was still morning and then head down ultimately to the area where the lake started to build up and so kind of how it works is like it kind of flows down the creek and then there’s a dam at a point ultimately and then back right behind the dam is a reservoir where that creek is kind of built up and I guess now is yeah a body of water out there so drove down a ways and took some photographs of the creek and the morning light and some of the water and stuff coming through I really like that kind of affected the the sort of early spring kind of fresh snow melt mountain creek stuff that just sort of looks really crisp and forested and natural and then I came down a ways further to a bridge that kind of cuts across the span of the creek as it starts to sort of widen out into the reservoir area and it looks like a you know a big stretch of calm water out on the edge of the the bridge where I think two different groups that were doing some fishing in the morning and yeah it seems like people are still out it was a busy area up there is still still definitely pretty fully populated set of people you know even during this lockdown period there’s a bunch of people out there hanging out in fishing I think it was two different different groups it too maybe they were they were all kind of connected but yeah they were they were out there with a couple lines over the bridge and they were picking up a couple things and things so I saw a lady that was pulling up in a little a little blue kayak to the ramp on the first day and on her what is that thing you know when you you run it through the gilling at you got the fish and stuff anyway just she pulled up with like got it is like four or five trout or something on her on her in her kayak I don’t know that’s where I’ll leave it I guess but she pulled up with four or five trout so I figured these guys these guys were doing a little bit of trout fish out there which sounds fun it’s a nice clear crisp morning stuff like I was saying so yeah it sounds like it’d be nice to be out there for a couple hours doing sufficient and yeah it looked like they were they were up to it they were getting a couple things it’s cool to a son osprey that they took off I think over the lake area just at that time and would kind of like pull up at certain spots over the water kind of back flap to hold in the same spot and look under water and see if there was something and then I don’t know didn’t see enough or didn’t see a prime opportunity and then we’re gonna swoop off and then take off to a different section of the lake and do it again so watch that about three or four times try to take a couple pictures of the area which you’re nice too I like the photographs that I got that morning it’s got to got a nice nice look to it really you know a lot of the time the photographs really look a lot better when you just select the right time of day to be somewhere which you know is obvious but just the types of colors and the types of saturation and dynamics that you get in the the look of a pretty simple you know set of trees and water it just comes off a lot better when it’s it’s just the right type of light it’s really amazing to to kind of see what differences it makes when it’s a cloud a day or a sunny day or a morning or an evening or midday really it seems like the dynamics of the light change so much that you can get like a totally different look in the photo which is always kind of interesting to pay attention to and sort of see how that how that goes what changes about it and sort of how that affects the photographs that you’re making I mean you can have you know some cool at any time of day but it’s kind of cool to figure out how it works for you or how it works or what I’m trying to do is how how to figure out how how it works for my photographs and what I’m trying to do which is nice I don’t know it was cool going out there and climbing around the creeks and stuff in the morning and taking a couple photos and water and osprey and going over to the lake area that’s trying to work on similar stuff to what I’ve done before but kind of that mirrored look of the really calm water as it spreads across the lake in the morning and then the reflection of the the bright blue kind of pre-sunlit sky or how is it you know like before the sun is actually up over the horizon there’s not a lot of intensity so it’s just kind of a softer blue glow in a lot of ways and then there’s still enough illumination that you can see the greens and the trees and sort of the soft calm water in the morning before it gets kind of agitated through the rest of the day so nice kind of peaceful looks to the the photos and sort of the natural stuff that I like to go kind of capture you know really ultimately though there’s some nice stuff up there and I was really like happy to kind of photograph some of the some of what I was looking for but I was also also frustrated in the area too I think there was a there’s is a little more choked off than what I normally like like there wasn’t as many opportunities as I had hoped for I had to try and you know utilize the ones that I found but there wasn’t as many opportunities as I had hoped for for kind of an opened up wide scene that you could set up a landscape photo and there wasn’t a lot of elements to really work with it was just sort of a you know that’s like some rolling hills off to a green hill so sometimes I’m trying to find some stuff that’s a little bit more dynamic and it’s look than that but it’s fun though even as it is anyway though I’m trying to I think maybe like I was mentioned last one I got stuck and turned around but the snow and I didn’t want to deal with any of that right now but in the next weeks and stuff I want to get up to Mount Jefferson or Mount Washington or a couple of these other wilderness areas that they have a few kind of visual landmarks that

patreon that’s patreon.com for slash billy newmanphoto I wanted to talk today about some stuff that I’ve been doing this last week for the last few weeks I’ve been talking about some outdoor stuff and some things kind of related to the lockdown pandemic stuff but I kind of changed what I was talking about a little bit for this podcast but I wanted to get into was some of the training stuff I’ve been looking into around logic pro 10.5 that has just come out recently and I thought it’d be kind of kind of cool to go over a little bit of an overview of some of the new features and stuff that are there and some of the stuff that you can do with a digital audio workstation and why why I’d bother talking about it but I think it was about about a year ago or so I was talking about setting up the studio in the house that I’m not here and how I was getting a PC computer ready to go is an older one is I think like something from some test up I had around from from 2010 or 11 or so yeah yeah about that time and I remember getting that computer setup with a I think it was yeah I had like windows 10 on it and then I was using I think the same audio interface usb out into the computer and then I downloaded I downloaded sonar the new version of sonar that you can get for free I think it had been owned by what was k-quack sonar and then I think Gibson had bought out k-quack and so it became Gibson sonar and then I think Gibson decided that wasn’t going to be part of their business anymore so I think they just kind of shut it down essentially but then sold that off to band lab and band lab is a I think a one or it’s another internet company they have kind of a simplified digital audio workstation app that you can use to kind of create a demo or something like that but what they had done is they they’d gone through I guess and had purchased probably for a relatively inexpensive price or I don’t know I assume since they’re just they’re just keeping it and kind of hardly maintaining it or you know doing a bit to maintain it but they took the the sonar platinum program the full digital audio workstation multi-tracking tool and they made it free for people to use and for people to get but I think it’s only a Windows only program so you got to have Windows 10 to run it so I did that yeah and and sonar was a program that I’d work with before for doing some some studio multi-tracking stuff I think years ago probably around like 2012-2013 when I was when I was working with some friends to set up some studio equipment stuff was cool we had like a big sound craft ghost that was laid out and then we had a bunch of a bunch of channels kind of running into that from from the microphones they were using to track this band and then that all went into a pretty old computer was amazing what it could do you know for just a you know it’s probably like a 2 gigabyte of RAM you know smaller hard drive 2004 or 5 6 era PC computer no I probably wouldn’t need that much right there’s something about that time but that’s what we used yeah that’s like all we had all we had with us we had a I think it was like a pre-sowness audio interface and then we got like like an eight-channel audio interface that was really cool you know we had like eight eight digital audio channels coming into the interface which means we could track eight live channels into sonar at a time and it didn’t even hit up you know even on that old machine and so it was interesting how that architecture worked to do some editing stuff but so sonar is what I had been using before for some stuff really audition Adobe edition is what I’d use most for some of this kind of the more simple radio broadcast style stuff and that’s what I had learned to use when I was at when I was at a radio station doing an internship years and years ago back in 2008 right summer 2008 and did that and they used the Adobe edition version 1.5 to do all their radio production edits and yeah I remember going in taking calls with the production guy I don’t know somebody calling into do like a I think they would do like a water level report it was really interesting radio that station you know you could figure but they would have like this I don’t know something you know it’s it’s 1245 and here’s your local water level report for July 28th or something and then it would be some lady that would call in from a department that would measure the stuff and she would give her water report and the production guy you’d record it and then produce that and then it’d be prepped to go out on air later you know it was like a spot that a DJ would trigger upstairs and so we’d kind of walk through using audition to do those steps and so learning that as a program is probably the first one that I’d done which a product probably goes back to high school or before that when I was doing editing stuff but but sonar back to sonar was some of the stuff that I’d used probably give it more for the for the music you know like trying to like track a band or do like multi-tracking projects but so yeah that’s what I’d used a bit that’s why I thrown on this windows 10 PC to do some audio production stuff for this podcast workflow that I was trying to get into and it’s cool it works really well but but I stepped using that computer a while ago I think the the windows 10 computer that I’m talking about had a power supply go bad which could be replaced pretty easily and and is on a to-do list of mine but since then I’ve really just been relying on kind of like I had mentioned just recording recording onto the device and then using Adobe addition to do the post production work on my MacBook which is I don’t know it’s just it’s just a more it’s just a better workflow and stuff for the most part so I’m kind of sticking with that but recently to get to the point as you are all excited logic pro 10.5 has come out now logic as yet to be mentioned in this podcast logic pro is the program that was produced by Apple as the professional digital audio work station and so there’s garage band which probably a lot of people have some experience with and garage band is sort of the trimmed down simplified home user version of a program like like logic pro and they’ve done that intentionally I think it’s the same team that generates the two programs and if you if you look at them or you look at their interfaces and you look at the types of access you have to things you really do see a familiar similarity to it which is cool so if you’ve used something like garage band in the past for home projects you won’t really have as big of a difficulty moving into a more professional digital audio workstation environment like logic pro 10 so I think it was logic pro 10 just you know 10 zero it came out when I don’t probably like 2013 or so I think that was that was sold for 200 bucks so it was like a purchase price of 199 and then since then you get the point updates for free or you know as included with your original purchase so just recently I think there had been like 10.4 before this and then now they’ve moved on to 10.5 and 10.5 I think it’s probably the biggest as noted by you know playing in new sources as noted as one of the most significant feature updates that logic has had probably in years and years I mean I think this is the first end of the concert removed and updated some of those legacy items that have been in there since 2003 or four or five you know it was just some of these legacy products that were that were originally put in there is including their interfaces too it looks like a 2002 interface for for you know like there’s these synthesizer interfaces where these these weird knobs that you have to these weird just rotating features of the interface it looks like it looks ridiculous I don’t know there were any other way to explain it but it’s it’s pretty wild for some of the some of the stuff that’s just remained in computer computer systems for a long time but for 10.5 they try to go through and update a lot of that stuff and it’s really interesting there’s a lot of cool new features in logic 10.5 so logic is real similar to sonar which is I guess kind of why I mentioned it and at least from my experience as similar you guys would probably think it’s similar to I don’t know what people that are listening probably actually have some well no one’s listening what do we say if someone were to bother to try and find some information out about logic and they ended up listening to this podcast they probably have had some information about it or they would be coming from from an experience with avid’s pro tools and pro tools is like the industry standard for multitracking DAW software and I’ve never used it I’ve never opened pro tools I’ve never seen pro tools you know in in its process at all I don’t know I’ve got I’ve looked at a couple videos or something but yeah I have no I have no experience working in pro tools and I don’t know I’m not a fan of avid’s software overall you know for pro tools or for or for the avid system of a video editing stuff either I’m just I’m not I’m not really that interested in the kind of stuff that they put together and it really for price and stuff too it just seems kind of kind of over done a little bit so I’m pretty happy with with some of the other the other more available tools that are in the consumer computer market I mean I think it’s like 800 bucks or something still to get to get avid’s pro tools and I think that in the past it was you know insanely more than that even well you know kind of proprietary back in the past it was more difficult now I think M audio is a partner with pro tools and so in the past if you have pro tools you have a lot of proprietary pro tools audio interfaces that you had to use if you wanted to set up your studio to work seamlessly with the pro tools software now I think they’ve made a deal with M audio which is sort of like a less expensive audio interface manufacturer they’ve had like interfaces and microphones and you know they’ve got like an array of I think they’ve got like some studio monitors they’ve got some interfaces they’ve got like keyboards is a big one that they’ve got I’ve got a keyboard over here from M audio and what is it yeah M audio less expensive they make pro tools interfaces which is cool now so that they’ve got a partnership with pro tools and I think that they’ve been trying to make that more accessible to musicians probably because it’s become a more competitive market with well really with like logic logic pro I think I think the industry standard set is I don’t know it always seems like more secure than it should be you know that doesn’t it doesn’t seem like an absolute the pro tools should be the the digital audio workstation of of engineers across the world but for whatever reason it’s just kind of taken over and and as those people you know are still still in those positions I think that’s that’s just with tat and audio recording school it’s like a standard even though there’s a lot of other good other good services and choices out there I think I’ve seen soar and logic taught a lot too so I don’t know they’re definitely competitive and and as I’ve been hearing more there’s there’s I don’t know there’s produced you know music producers that are coming out saying oh yeah I do a lot of a lot of my work in in logic and then there’s you know there’s a whole class of music producers that are logic based producers are stone our based producers are and all right it seems to kind of rotate around every couple years for for who’s doing water you know who wants to look cool people that use pro tools one of the cool probably a lot of time so back to back to old logic pro 10.5 here’s the good stuff so thanks a lot for checking out this episode of the Billy Newman photo podcast hope you guys check out some stuff on billyneuminfoadow.com a

The lunar roving, battery powered, 4 wheel drive "Moon Buggy" allowed astronauts on Apollo 15, 16, and 17 to travel 8 mph on the lunar surface with a maximum range of approximately 4.7 mi. Some of the rocks that these space travelers brought back, from the tiny area they were able to visit on the Moon, contained volcanic glass beads with trace amounts of trapped water inside of them.
You're about to learn a whole lot more about Kevin Bacon. The prolific actor has been on our screens for more than 40 years. It was his breakthrough part as Ren in Footloose that got him attention, but he was just getting started. Acclaimed roles in Apollo 13, A Few Good Men, The River Wild, and Mystic River would follow. In fact his filmography and range is so broad he literally had a game made up about him – Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon – where you could connect any Hollywood actor to him in six or less steps, he's worked with that many stars.But bubbling away in the background, Kevin has always loved music. He played and wrote songs as a kid, joined his brother's band and formed The Bacon Brothers in '95, and shares his love of songs on the regular, across his social media.It was this thread I wanted to pull at, when I asked him to Take 5. But what emerged was a greater sense of the man himself. Deeply empathetic, very grounded, and with his heart in all the right places.Kevin Bacon's song choices:Earth, Wind & Fire – 'Happy Feelin'Spin Doctors – 'Little Miss Can't Be Wrong'John Prine & Iris DeMent – 'In Spite of Ourselves'Frank Ocean – 'Thinkin Bout You'Brandi Carlile – 'The Joke'00:00 Introduction to Kevin Bacon's Musical Journey01:00 Kevin Bacon's Love for Music02:19 Kevin Bacon's Acting and Music Synergy04:11 SONG 1: Earth, Wind & Fire – 'Happy Feelin'05:59 The Influence of Philadelphia's Music Scene09:59 Kevin Bacon's Acting Aspirations and Early Career14:38 SONG 2: Spin Doctors – 'Little Miss Can't Be Wrong'18:02 The Bacon Brothers and Overcoming Stage Fright22:53 SONG 3: John Prine & Iris DeMent – 'In Spite of Ourselves'23:28 Marriage to Kyra Sedgwick and singing together30:32 SONG 4: Frank Ocean – 'Thinkin Bout You'35:21 Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon and Philanthropy39:51 SONG 5: Brandi Carlile – 'The Joke'44:28 Kevin Bacon's Musical Journey45:57 Upcoming Episodes and Podcast Details46:29 Double J Radio HighlightsWatch Take 5 on ABC iview:https://iview.abc.net.au/show/take-5-with-zan-rowe

Tens of thousands of people gathered to remember Charlie Kirk on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. The speakers at his memorial service included President Trump and members of his administration, as well as Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, who said she forgives her husband's alleged assassin. CBS News' Kris Van Cleave reports. In a social media post over the weekend, President Trump asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to do more to go after his political rivals. Mr. Trump publicly urged Bondi to file cases against New York Attorney General Letitia James, former FBI director James Comey and California Sen. Adam Schiff. David Begnaud highlights three remarkable viewer stories. A 17-year-old becomes the youngest American woman to summit Mount Everest with her father, an ICU nurse saves a man's life off-duty only to reunite with him at the hospital, and a Kentucky nurse revives a baby raccoon that ate fermented peaches. In our "Never Too Late" series, CBS News correspondent Natalie Morales shares her journey from childhood love of horses to English riding and now the challenge of barrel racing, proving it's never too late to chase a dream. First on "CBS Mornings," People magazine revealed the top three finalists in its World's Cutest Rescue Dog contest. Viewers can learn more about Apollo, Tiki and Bastian on People.com. The "CBS Mornings" team is among the judges who cast confidential votes, and the winner will be announced live on the show Oct. 8. Makeup artist and entrepreneur Bobbi Brown, who launched her first cosmetics line in 1991 and helped redefine beauty standards, joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss her new memoir "Still Bobbi."

This week on Planetary Radio, host Sarah Al-Ahmed is joined by Mark McCaughrean, astronomer, science communicator, and former Senior Advisor for Science & Exploration at the European Space Agency, to talk about his new book, “111 Places in Space That You Must Not Miss.” Part of the popular “111 Places” travel series, the book transforms the guidebook format into a tour across the Solar System and beyond, from Apollo landing sites on the Moon to Europa’s hidden oceans, and even the afterglow of the Big Bang. Mark shares highlights from the book, stories from his career on missions like Hubble, Rosetta, and the James Webb Space Telescope, and reflections on how science and imagination come together to inspire exploration. And in this week’s What’s Up, Planetary Society Chief Scientist Bruce Betts joins Sarah to talk about his brand-new children’s books, “The Size of Space” and “Are We Alone?,” part of our growing series with Lerner Publishing Group.

In Session 311, I sit down with Christina Nylander and Leah Hussain from Apollo Behavior to talk about culturally sensitive approaches to Autism intervention. We dive into three case studies that show how flexible, individualized care can make a huge difference in building the rapport that's so important in our clinical work. Along the way, we share strategies for gaining parent buy-in, supporting bilingual language development, and using AAC devices to help children communicate more effectively with their families. Here's what we cover: The parent training shift when cultural sensitivity and rapport-building are prioritized. Christina and Leah's bilingual language development success stories, including Spanish- and Russian-speaking families. The role of AAC devices in improving communication, and one of these case studies progressed to no longer needing this technology. My random thoughts on video documentation and other creative methods to communicate client progress to stakeholders. Throughout the discussion, we reflect on the importance of balancing clinical recommendations with cultural and educational values. It's not just about treatment plans—it's about building trust, respecting families' perspectives, and helping kids thrive in ways that feel authentic to them.

Bilingual and AAC strategies can unlock communication progress. Showing progress through videos and creative methods strengthens parent engagement. Individualized parent training, including in multiple languages, increases accessibility. If you're a BCBA, ABA therapist, or behavioral health professional, I think you'll find this conversation full of practical ideas for making your work more effective—and more meaningful.

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but you don't get to take the crown off." Steve Harvey Pivot Family, we have a special episode with this one for you, get ready to step inside the life of one of the most prolific figures of our generation. In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, comedy icon, TV mogul, and entrepreneur Steve Harvey sits down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder to talk about the pivotal moments that shaped his life — from homelessness to the Live at the Apollo to big screens of Hollywood. He shares the keys to not giving up, how becoming successful is one feat but staying there is true fulfillment. With his signature blend of wisdom and wit, Steve opens up about the grind behind his success, the faith that kept him grounded, and the mindset that separates the great from the average. But beyond the fame, Steve gets deeply personal — reflecting on his upbringing in Cleveland, the sacrifices his parents made, and how his father's discipline and his mother's prayers laid the foundation for everything he's built. He speaks on how their influence still drives him today, especially in how he leads his own family and honors their legacy through purpose-driven work. In an emotional revelation, Steve shares with the guys the depth of his bond with his father and how the closeness is something that can never be replicated and how the loss still sticks with him today. Steve's ability to use humor to discuss tough topics and address some of the darker times in his life is a masterclass on legacy, resilience and betting on yourself. Steve unpacks his biggest pivots — including walking away from secure paychecks to follow his calling, navigating public criticism, and balancing fame with responsibility. He also drops gems on generational wealth, manhood, and what today's young men need to hear about purpose, respect, and staying true to who they are. From generational wealth and black fatherhood to choosing purpose over popularity, Steve delivers game and vulnerability in equal measure. He talks about his own children, especially his daughters and how difficult it is to protect them while in the public eye but also where to draw the line between fame and privacy. This conversation goes far beyond words — it's a blueprint for building a meaningful life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
