Healthcare in America is stuck in a "sick care" model—we wait until people are already ill, then scramble to treat them. Dr. Gloria Winters, VP of Health Innovation at the YMCA of the USA, has spent the last year building something different: a community health operating system that pulls together your wearables, your medical records, and AI-driven insights into one place, so you actually know what to do with your health data instead of just staring at numbers. In this episode, she breaks down her "house" framework for the $5.6 trillion healthcare industry, why falls cost the country more than almost anything else, how she's working directly with HHS and the MAHA movement on preventive health policy, and why personal agency—not just data—is the missing piece in helping people actually change their behavior. If you've ever felt like your Apple Watch tells you everything except what you should actually do next, this conversation is for you. Key Takeaways:

Permanent daylight saving time sparks an impassioned defense of brighter winter evenings, even if it means New Yorkers would spend more mornings commuting and sending kids to school in the dark. Tiki and Shaun dismiss the panic over circadian rhythms, argue that 4:30 sunsets are far more depressing and insist the modern world has already learned how to function before sunrise. The conversation also turns to whether Jets coach Aaron Glenn should check in on Geno Smith following reports about his speeding, plus the remarkable story connecting Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal years before Yamal became a soccer star.

Johannisbeeren, «Meertrübeli» oder einfach «Trübeli» wachsen in vielen Gärten. Sie sind einfach zu kultivieren und bringen eine grosse Ernte für Kuchen, Desserts, Konfi oder Sirup. Was den Geschmack betrifft, gehen die Meinungen auseinander: Den einen sind sie zu sauer, andere lieben sie. Johannisbeeren wachsen am besten auf tiefgründigen, eher kalkarmen und humusreichen Böden. Sie können bis zu einer Meereshöhe von 1400 Metern angebaut werden. Die Sträucher werden im Verlaufe des Winters tief gepflanzt: Die Basis muss mit 5 cm Erde bedeckt sein, damit dort kräftige junge Triebe aus dem Wurzelstock wachsen können. Falls keine Jungtriebe aus der Basis wachsen, kann der Trübelistrauch mit 5–8 cm Erde überschüttet werden. Ein Sommerschnitt im Juli/August schützt vor Befall mit Graufäule. Da die Infektion mit ihr während des Winterhalbjahres auftritt und viele Triebe zum Absterben bringt, wird bevorzugt im Sommer nach der Ernte geschnitten. Bei heissem, trockenem Wetter mit dem Schnitt warten, damit die inneren Triebe und Blätter keinen Sonnenbrand bekommen. Der Strauch wird durch regelmässiges Herausnehmen der ältesten, 4–5 Jahre alten Triebe laufend zur Bildung von neuen, jungen und kräftigen Bodentrieben angeregt. Ein kräftiger Johannisbeerstrauch hat 8–12 Triebe. Erst ab dem 4. Standjahr werden die ältesten Triebe herausgeschnitten und kleine, dünne oder überzählige Jungtriebe werden entfernt. Zu alte, vergreiste Büsche tragen kleine, eher saure Beeren, und oft fallen die noch grünen Beeren ab.
What if addiction isn't a moral failure — and it isn't just a brain disease either? What if it's the natural expression of a terrain that never got the support it needed?In this episode of I Love Being Sober, Tim Westbrook sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters — naturopathic oncologist, bestselling author, and 35-year stage IV ovarian cancer thriver — for one of the most clinically rich and emotionally honest conversations this podcast has ever hosted. Recorded live at Camelback Recovery's outpatient treatment center in Scottsdale, Arizona, in front of a live audience of clients and staff.Dr. Winters scored a perfect 10 out of 10 on the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scale. She came from a family shaped by alcoholism, addiction, mental illness, and trauma. She was days from death when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer at 19 — and she was sent home to die. Instead, she spent the next three decades building one of the most comprehensive frameworks in integrative medicine: the Terrain Ten.This conversation bridges two worlds that rarely talk to each other: terrain-based medicine and addiction recovery. And the overlap is exact.In this episode, you'll learn:Why sugar and ultra-processed food activate the same dopamine receptors as cocaine and heroin — and how that keeps recovery stuckHow unstable blood sugar mimics and worsens the craving cycle in early sobrietyWhy Dr. Winters now puts mental and emotional health FIRST in her Terrain Ten — flipping the framework she published in 2017The ACE score, what it predicts, and why a score of 3 or above dramatically increases disease riskWhat intermittent fasting actually does to the brain in recovery — and how to start without white-knuckling itThe emerging field of metabolic psychiatry and why ketosis has reversed bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction in clinical trialsWhy being “never sick” is a red flag, not a health flexHow chronic stress puts the body in a state where treatments “bounce off” — and what to do about itEMDR, ibogaine, and psychedelic-assisted therapy in the context of trauma and addiction recoveryThe two things that showed up as universal common denominators across 500 cancer and mental health patients: not feeling seen, and not feeling heardThe audience Q&A goes even deeper — covering sleep and metabolic health, keto and depression, sexual abuse and trauma processing, and what it takes to rebuild a life after violence and addiction.This is not a light episode.

This week in our Summer Shorts series, we dig into the entire book of Philemon, one of the shortest letters in the New Testament and one of the most personal. Paul writes from prison to his friend Philemon on behalf of Onesimus, a runaway slave, asking Philemon to receive him back not as property but as a beloved brother in Christ. Along the way, Paul models something remarkable: rather than pulling rank, he appeals to relationship, to love, and to the kind of generosity that flows naturally from genuine faith. The story of Onesimus, slave turned free, debt paid by another, is a picture of the gospel itself, mirroring exactly what Jesus did for every one of us. And the story of Paul, once a persecutor of Christians and now their greatest champion, reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God's transforming grace. Whatever you feel enslaved to today, the debt has already been paid.

Today I'm sitting down with Abigail Vargas, a contemporary textile artist based in Winters, California, whose work is vibrant, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in storytelling.Abigail creates quilts inspired by nature, science, and family to name a few—often combining contemporary fabrics with vintage and repurposed materials to add layers of meaning and texture to her work. Her quilts have been exhibited at shows like QuiltCon and Quilt National, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles as well as international exhibits in Taiwan. Abigail brings together so many influences—modern art, folk art, collaboration, even science—and turns them into quilts that feel emotional and alive. I first saw her work at QuiltCon when I interviewed her for Quilt National and I was instantly drawn into her quilt Bumblebee Jasper to look at every detail. She's also the creator of the collaborative Exquisite Quilt Project, inspired by the Surrealist “Exquisite Corpse” game, where multiple artists contribute without seeing the full design ahead of time.

Episode Notes Jonathan Aperans of the Armchair Commanders Podcast is back with Rob as Winters starts to tell us what happened to the men after the war.
If you don't know the story, read on. ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' is a fourteenth century poem that survives in a single manuscript. The story begins in King Arthur's court at Christmas when a huge green knight on a huge green horse rides into the court and challenges everyone to a game. He will stand one blow of his own axe as long as he can return the blow in a years' time.No one at the court wants to take him on, but as Arthur finally gets up the young Gawain gets in first. He effortlessly decapitates the Green Knight who then gets up, picks up his head, remounts his horse and says ‘see you in a years' time'.The rest of the story tells how Gawain is tested and discovers the limits of his idealism. He bravely sets out to keep his word, is undaunted by the physical hardships of a terrible journey, and finally arrives at a castle where his host tells him the place he seeks is just a few hours away, so why doesn't he stay for three days. The host then proposes a game. He will go hunting each day and give Gawain whatever he kills, and Gawain will give him whatever he gains during the day.For the first two days the host's wife visits Gawain in his bedroom. His morality tested, Gawain gently rejects her advances, and she gives him a kiss. Each day the host returns, gives Gawain what he hunted, and Gawain gives him the kiss. On the third day the Lady gives him a Green Girdle which she says will protect him against the Green Knight. Gawain does not give this to the host.He rides out to the Green Knight's ‘chapel'. Twice the Green Knight goes to strike and twice Gawain flinches. The third time he strikes, but only nicks his neck.When Gawain returns to Arthur's court he is mortified. He failed the final test and tried to cheat. He wears the green girdle as a badge of his shame. But everyone in the court thinks this is daft, and starts to wear green girdles as well.The story opens the debate. Gawain is true to his code, but as a human being he has tried to avoid death. Should he feel ashamed? Or are the people in the court right?
The Federal President has threatened the October Consortium with adversarial scientific research, as she expressed her "disappointment" that the Federation has been denied access to Radicoida Unica and any medicinal applications it might have.
This week we kick off our new summer series, Summer Shorts, big truths from some of the Bible's smallest books, starting with the book of Titus. Paul's letter to Titus covers a lot of ground fast: what it looks like to lead a church with integrity, why sound doctrine matters and must be defended, and how older believers are called to pour into younger generations in real, relational ways. We also dig into one of the most important distinctions in all of scripture: the difference between being saved by works and being saved for works. Because of Christ's death and resurrection, salvation is a gift we could never earn, and that's exactly the point. Freed from the burden of earning God's favor, we get to ask a different question: what good works has God already prepared for me to walk in? That's the life Paul is calling Titus, and all of us, into.

Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
The antidote to a boring sex life isn't trying harder, it's trying something new together — that's what ARYA delivers, a monthly intimacy membership curated by AASECT certified sexologists and shipped right to your door.Take the quiz at arya.fyi and use code: TRUTH15 for 15% off at https://arya.fyi/start?rfsn=8333683.c9f861In this episode, I sit down with Adreena Winters — writer, educator, and one of the most recognized voices in the world of cuckolding — to finally clear up what this dynamic actually is, and what it isn't. Adreena is the author of So You Want to Be a Cuckold and the creator of Cuckold Confessions, and she brings both lived experience and years of coaching couples through this exact terrain.We get into why most people's first reaction to the word "cuckolding" is shame or confusion, and why that reaction is almost always wrong. Adreena breaks down the real difference between a hot wife dynamic and a cuckoldress dynamic, why humiliation is usually a small piece of the puzzle rather than the main event, and why compersion — genuinely enjoying your partner's pleasure — is so often the real engine driving this for men.We talk about how couples actually start exploring this safely: communication first, boundaries second, and why over-controlling the experience can backfire. Adreena walks through the biggest mistakes couples make (hint: it usually starts with who you let into the dynamic), the red flags that signal someone isn't a good third-party candidate, and the warning signs that a couple isn't actually ready for this yet. We also get into the Red Pill and Manosphere comparison — because consent is the dividing line, and it changes everything.If you've ever been curious, confused, or quietly judging something you don't fully understand, this conversation will give you the real picture instead of the porn version.In This Episode:00:00 Intro & Aria.FYI01:15 Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:45 Meet Adreena Winters02:30 Why Cuckolding Is So Misunderstood04:00 Cuckoldress vs. Hot Wife: What's the Real Difference06:30 Is the Bull Part of the Couple's Dynamic?08:15 Who Usually Initiates: Men or Women?10:00 Cutting Queens & Reversed Dynamics12:00 Where to Start: Communication and Boundaries14:30 No, It's Not Always a Threesome16:00 Biggest Mistakes Couples Make18:30 Red Flags When Vetting a Bull20:30 Signs a Couple Isn't Ready Yet23:00 The Porn Fantasy vs. The Reality26:00 Adreena's Own Relationship & Retiring From Porn28:30 Cuckold Confessions: Filming Real Couples30:00 Finding a Bull: Apps, Sites & Communities31:30 Cuckolding vs. The Manosphere & Red Pill32:30 Is Cuckolding Cheating?33:00 Where to Find Adrena & Closing ThoughtsAbout The Guest:Adreena Winters is a content creator, writer, and educator known for her work exploring cuckolding. With over a decade of experience both personally and professionally in the adult industry, she has become one of the most recognisable voices discussing cuckolding openly and without shame. Adreena is the author of So, You Want to Be a Cuckold?, and the creator of Cuckold Confessions, a series exploring the motivations and desires of men who embrace the cuckold identity. Through her writing, videos, and podcast appearances, she aims to demystify taboo fantasies and encourage more honest conversations about sexuality, desire, and power within relationships.Connect with Adreena Winters:Website: https://thecuckacademy.com/Links: https://links.adrena-winters.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachadreenaAbout The Host:Karen Bigman, a Sexual Health Alliance Certified Sex Educator, Life, and Menopause Coach, tackles the often-taboo subject of sexuality with a straightforward and candid approach.

Episode Notes Jay Cluitt of The Con Air Podcast, the Deep Blue Sea Podcast and Life Vs Film is back again with Rob for yet another inaugural episode of the series, this time for the final Part where Winters and Nixon discuss their futures after the war.
On episode 1204 of Daytime Confidential, Luke Kerr, Jillian Bowe and Melodie Aikels take a deep dive into the Beyond the Gates' disaster spectacular that brought The Young and the Restless' Newmans, Abbotts and Winters to Fairmont Crest. The DC trio shares what stood out to them, before digging into the meaty drama of the past week. From Victor Newman's (Eric Braeden) arrival by helicopter to Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters) dodging Tomas (Alex Alegria) and Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Hayley's (Marquita Goings) chemistry, they delve into the Genoa City guests at Martin's (Brandon Claybon) fundraiser. Should Kyle visit Fairmont Crest again in the future or Hayley set her sights on Kyle after scoring a fortune from Bill? The Young and the Restless dropped the ball on aligning its storylines with the crossover's continuity. Before the fundraiser kicked off viewers finally learned the idenitity of The Impaler. Super Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) saved Abby (Melissa Ordway) from a chandelier cake topper, but why was he so front and center in the disaster? Why wasn't he kicked out instead of being allowed to hang around. Why is Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) so stupid? Kat (Colby Nixon) and Eva (Ambyr Michelle) trapped together provided great drama, but will anyone be on Kat's side when she doesn't want to donate a kidney to save her half-sister's life? Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) had some of the best singers of the event, but BTG still gave her moments of humanity as she searched for her missing daughter. Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Dani (Karla Mosley) had sex in the elevator, but what does this mean for Dani and Andre (Sean Freeman)? Should BTG tell a who's the daddy storyline or should they leave a baby out of the picture? Andre professing his fear of losing Dani tore the DC hosts apart. Does Bill want back in the Dupree family? Martin went from being trapped under a tree to an asshole in the blink of an eye. A couple characters' wigs and eyebrows distracted the hosts from the drama. The tornado event definitely provided an opportunity for some actors to step up, while other actors stumbled under the weight of the special episodes. The hosts reveal their final thoughts on the Beyond the Gates / The Young and the Restless disaster crossover before rating the event. All this and more on the latest Daytime Confidential podcast!

You'll hear how mistletoe may work on multiple levels: supporting the immune system, affecting the tumor environment, and helping the body's terrain during and after treatment.If you've ever felt rushed into decisions based on a scan, this episode is especially important. Dr. Winters explains pseudoprogression, a phenomenon where things may appear worse on imaging before they improve, and why timing scans too soon can lead to fear-driven decisions based on misleading information.Chapters:00:06:39 - The Most Studied Alternative Cancer Therapy00:08:18 - Why the U.S. Still Requires New Trials00:09:34 - The Patient Who Changed Dr. Winters' Path00:12:43 - How Mistletoe Works in the Body00:14:02 - Waking Up the Immune System00:16:28 - Quality of Life During Cancer Treatment00:18:42 - Mistletoe, Fasting, and Metabolic Support00:21:37 - Why Terrain Matters More Than Tumor Kill00:27:42 - Why Practitioner Training Matters00:30:01 - The Scan Mistake That Can Change Everything00:34:17 - When to Image During Mistletoe Therapy00:37:06 - When Healing Looks Worse Before Better00:41:00 - Who Should Be Careful With Mistletoe00:42:54 - Why Fasting and Mistletoe Work TogetherMost relevant support from the transcript: the episode moves from mistletoe's history and use since 1917, into mechanism and terrain, then closes with pseudoprogression, scan timing, and who should use caution. Stay until the end, because Dr. Winters shares how one patient first pushed her to explore mistletoe therapy, and how that moment opened the door to decades of clinical experience with a treatment most Americans still never hear about.Press play to learn why your body may be far more capable of healing than you've been told.Connect with Dr. Nasha: https://drnasha.com/Pick up a copy: Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative OncologyJoin Dr. Katie's 3-Day Guided Fast, for expert support, daily live calls, and a community to fast alongside: Sign-Up Follow Dr. Katie Deming on InstagramWatch on YoutubeDISCLAIMER: The Born to Heal Podcast is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for seeking professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Ivelisse sits down with her dear friend and integrative oncology expert Dr. Nasha Winters for a conversation that feels as much like a heart-to-heart as it does a masterclass. Together they tackle one of the most confusing and consequential topics in women's health: hormone replacement therapy.Dr. Winters opens with a simple but powerful daily habit, meeting the sunrise, as an underrated tool for hormonal balance. From there, she unpacks what hormones actually are (messengers, not just chemicals to replenish), traces the eye-opening history of exogenous hormones and their generational effects, and makes a compelling case that most menopausal symptoms are rooted in metabolic imbalance and stress, not deficiency.She also challenges the assumption that "bio-identical" means safe, offers non-hormonal options for common symptoms, and lays out what a wise, terrain-focused approach to tapering actually looks like.Warm, honest, and full of practical wisdom — this one is worth sharing with every woman you love.Learn more about Dr. Nasha Winters here.Suggested Resources:The Metabolic Approach to Cancer by Dr. Nasha WintersMenopause Reset by Dr. Mindy PelzRadical Remission website (Dr. Kelly Turner)Love, Medicine and Miracles by Dr. Bernie SiegelGood Clean Love - lubricantFORIA - Intimacy MeltsURIEL - Argentum Calendula ointmentYour donations power our podcast's mission to support cancer patients with hope, insights, and resources.

Volíme, diskutujeme, hádáme se o hodnoty, identitu, kulturu nebo práva. Ale ve chvíli, kdy jde o samotné rozdělení bohatství, zůstává vliv většiny lidí téměř nulový. Americký politolog Jeffrey A. Winters tomu říká éra participativní nerovnosti, v níž má hlas skoro každý, ale vliv na nerovnost skoro nikdo. Winters popisuje svět, v němž vedle sebe dokážou existovat otevřená politická soutěž, svobodné volby a extrémní majetková nerovnost. Co když je největším problémem dnešní demokracie to, že funguje právě tak, jak potřebují držitelé skutečné ekonomické moci? Oligarchie nemusí demokracii rušit, aby ji ovládala. Stačí, když dokáže chránit majetek před daněmi, regulací a přerozdělením. Winters vysvětluje, proč nestačí sledovat příjmy, ale musíme se dívat na majetek. Dnešní koncentrace bohatství v rukou superbohatých v Česku je větší než ve starověkém Římě. Nejde tu o závist vůči bohatým, ale o otázku, co se stane s demokracií, když si nejbohatší mohou koupit média, politický vliv i samotná pravidla hry? Podcastem provází publicista Petr Bittner. Hlas Jeffrey A. Wintersovi v českém znění propůjčil Petr Pěknic.
More people than ever can vote, organise, and make their voices heard. Yet wealth is becoming increasingly concentrated in the hands of a tiny minority. How can democracy and extreme inequality coexist? American political scientist Jeffrey A. Winters argues that oligarchs are not primarily interested in governing. Their main objective is to protect and preserve their wealth — and this defence of wealth increasingly shapes the limits of democratic politics. Together with political scientist Vladimíra Dvořáková and political scientist and philosopher Ondřej Lánský, Winters discusses how economic power is converted into political influence, why oligarchs are becoming more visible, and what this means for democratic institutions, public media, taxation and the future of political equality. The discussion was recorded at last year's Inspiration Forum at the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival and is moderated by Klára Votavová. The voices of Ondřej Lánský, Vladimíra Dvořáková, and Klára Votavová are AI-generated.
What happens when a client says, "I don't want to be here anymore," and you're the only clinician in the room? In this important conversation, I sit down with therapist and former ER mental health clinician Maria Winters to discuss one of the most challenging situations therapists can face: assessing and responding to suicidal ideation in private practice. Drawing from 12 years of experience in emergency psychiatry, Maria shares what therapists often misunderstand about suicide risk, why asking direct questions matters, and how to distinguish between suicidal thoughts and an active crisis. We talk through intent, plans, access to means, substance use, emergency petitions, hospitalization decisions, and what actually happens after a client arrives at the emergency room. This episode is especially relevant for therapists in private practice, group practice owners, and clinicians who want to feel more confident navigating high-risk situations. We also discuss common fears around liability, when to involve crisis response teams or law enforcement, and why ongoing training in suicide assessment is something every therapist should prioritize. Whether you're a seasoned clinician or early in your career, this conversation offers practical insight into having life-saving conversations with greater confidence and clinical clarity. Topics Covered in this Episode: 3:35 - Why many clients never disclose suicidal thoughts unless they're directly asked 6:45 - The critical difference between suicidal ideation, intent, and planning 9:10 - What therapists often misunderstand about when hospitalization is actually necessary 12:50 - How ER clinicians evaluate risk once a client arrives at the hospital 27:05 - What therapists should know about HIPAA during psychiatric emergencies If this episode gave you a new perspective or helped you feel more prepared as a clinician, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a colleague. These conversations help us become more confident, ethical, and effective therapists, and your support helps bring them to more clinicians who need them.

ESG StuffBP removes chairman Albert Manifold over governance issues 9The board said the decision was unanimous. In a statement, Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director, described the board as having been caught off guard by what it found: "The board has been surprised and disappointed to learn of governance oversight and conduct issues it deems unacceptable and has taken decisive action."The company did not elaborate on the specific nature of the concerns.Ian Tyler has been named interim chair, BP said, with the board set to begin a formal process to identify a permanent successor: "The Board and leadership team have deep conviction in the strategic direction we have laid out, and the company is moving at pace to deliver it."Manifold took up the chairmanship just last October. At last month's annual general meeting, just 81.8% of shareholders backed his electionAmong the most consequential decisions of Manifold's short tenure: pushing out former CEO Murray Auchincloss and overseeing the selection of Meg O'Neill to succeed him — a hire that marked the first time BP had recruited an external CEO and the first time a woman had led one of the oil industry's largest players.Tulsi Gabbard Exit Marks Fourth Woman to Leave Trump Cabinet 0Apology TourBank boss sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital' 7Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters triggered a massive PR firestorm by describing the bank's plan to replace back-office staff with automation as replacing "lower-value human capital" with financial investmentStandard Chartered is cutting roughly 7,800 jobs—representing about 15% of its global back-office corporate support roles—over the next four years to make room for AIAfter internal anger and blistering public criticism, Winters posted a formal apology for his "choice of words." However, he initially fueled the fire by attaching the full interview transcript to justify his broader context, drawing further criticism for being defensiveIn his first attempt to quiet the storm, Winters leaned heavily into the corporate strategy rather than apologizing for the specific phrasing: "I said that lower-value roles are more vulnerable to automation, and that we have a responsibility to help colleagues move into higher-value roles. That is what a responsible employer should do. We will continue to speak honestly about the impact of technological change, and we will continue to act responsibly in helping our people to adapt and succeed."After a barrage of negative comments on his first post, Winters returned to LinkedIn later that day to offer an explicit apology for his phrasing: "I have received a lot of support for the messages in my previous post but still get questions about my choice of words, which I know has caused upset to some colleagues. For that I am sorry.""I think the transcript makes it clear that I value our colleagues – all of them – most highly and that we are totally committed to helping them to cope with the accelerating pace of change in our industry."JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon says bank chief's viral AI comment was 'inartful' Dimon downplayed the viral backlash against Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters—who drew fire for saying his bank would replace "lower-value human capital" with technology—calling it an "inartful" slip-of-the-tongue from a friend.Neopbabies and Dropout babiesJames Murdoch to acquire New York Magazine and Vox Media Podcast Network -1Bolt CEO says he let go of his entire HR team for creating problems that didn't exist: ‘Those problems disappeared when I let them go' 6Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow justified firing his entire Human Resources department by claiming they actively manufactured internal frictionThe aggressive purge follows a brutal 97% collapse in Bolt's valuation—crashing from an $11 billion peak in 2022 down to $300 millionTraditional HR has been entirely swapped for a skeletal "people operations" team, shifting the focus away from employee complaints and internal processes toward basic compliance training and empowering managers to make split-second decisionsAlongside gutting HR, Breslow rolled back employee-friendly benefits like four-day workweeks and unlimited PTO, claiming a culture of complacency had taken over and that 99% of his legacy workforce was simply unwilling to work hardRyan dropped out of Stanford in 2014 to launch BoltThe Middle School Boy Man Babies Rule the WorldMan Drives Cybertruck Into Lake to Test Elon Musk's “Boat” Claims, and It Went About as Well as You'd Guess -10"The passengers abandoned the vehicle and the driver was arrested."Tesla CEO Elon Musk:randomly tweeted that the vehicle would function as a rudimentary flotation device.“It will even float for a while.”“[The vehicle would be able to] traverse at least 100m [330 feet] of water as a boat.”“Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren't too choppy.”Jeff Bezos urges US government to stop taxing 50% of America — and claims doubling his taxes won't help ‘that teacher in Queens' 400Jeff Bezos backs Mamdani's tax on luxury second homes, but says Ken Griffin isn't the villainJeff Bezos on Zohran Mamdani's big mistake: ‘When you don't know how to solve a problem, create a villain, blame them'Jeff Bezos says there is ‘no truth' to the ‘buy borrow die' tax strategyBillionaires Openly Use It: Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has historically pledged over $30 billion worth of his Oracle stock as collateral for personal bank loans.

I don't think such a loophole should exist."Jeff Bezos Praises Trump's Second Term as ‘More Mature' Jeff Bezos Says AI Will 'Elevate' Workers — Despite Amazon's 30,000 Job Cuts Amid $100 Billion AI PushElon Musk compares his company's work to that of Jesus 0In an interview on Monday, the billionaire said his Neuralink brain-implant company is progressing in its development of ‘Jesus-like technologies'Although brain-computer interface (BCI) as a concept has been around since at least the 1970s, the push to commercialize the technology is more recent. According to data from market-intelligence firm Tracxn, more than 130 BCI startups have been launched since 2016.Why Is Mark Zuckerberg Taunting His Employees Before Firing Them? 20Back in April, Meta announced it was laying off 10 percent of its workforce, or around some 7,800 workers. Unlike traditional layoffs, which are enacted relatively quickly, Meta gave its employees a nearly month-long warning period without announcing who exactly would be headed for the unemployment line.In newly leaked audio from an all-hands meeting at Meta, released by More Perfect Union, the Meta CEO seems to actually be taunting the thousands of workers who were about to be let go by pointing to how the company was harvesting employee data to train its in-house AI models ahead of the massive layoffs.“So we're in a phase where basically the AI models learn from heaving real, from watching really smart people do things. And if you're trying to get it to be able to be able to do certain capabilities, having [AI] be able to observe really smart people doing those things is, is very important.”Going on, Zuckerberg explained that it was better to train AI on soon-to-be-former Meta employees, rather than “contract companies.”“In general, the average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through… contractors,” Zuckerberg stammered. “So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally, um, build tools that, or, or solve tasks that, um, that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our models coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do.”Intuit to Cut 17% of Staff, Invest in ‘Big Bets' 3The restructuring cost is estimated at about $300 million to $340 millionAbout 3,100 employees: and invest the savings in “big bets” as it makes artificial intelligence a centerpiece of its business.Woke WarsTexas AG Sues ISS Over ESG Considerations 0Texas AG Ken Paxton (in a senate race) is suing ISS for allegedly “misleading” customers by pushing “radical political agendas” through its proxy adviceNotably, ISS has attempted to obstruct ExxonMobil's planned reincorporation from New Jersey to Texas“ISS has enormous influence over how billions of dollars are invested and managed across this country, and they have abused that influence in order to push woke ideology”Iowa AG Brenna Bird sues ISS, says advice risks retirement savingsIowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is suing the world's largest proxy-advice firm for abusing its influence and threatening Iowans' retirement savings by "lying" to investors.Stakeholders Rule!Wells Fargo must pay $100M to help homebuyers after discrimination lawsuit — 51 cities are eligible 7The settlement, which was recently approved by a federal judge in California, comes after four years of legal disputes involving Wells Fargo shareholders, former employees and job applicants who accused the bank of systemic problems in both lending and hiring practices.While Wells Fargo denied wrongdoing, the company agreed to the deal to avoid prolonged litigation and mounting legal costs.The case centered on allegations that Wells Fargo's board failed to maintain adequate oversight of the bank's mortgage lending operations, exposing the company to regulatory scrutiny and accusations of discriminatory practices.According to reporting from Realtor.com, plaintiffs accused the bank of “widespread and systematic discrimination in lending” and cited concerns over lending algorithms and refinancing approval patterns.The lawsuit stated that Wells Fargo was allegedly the only major lender in 2020 to reject more refinancing applications from Black homeowners than it approved.Airbus, Air France Hit With Manslaughter Charges Over Pilot Training Failures in Deadly 2009 Flight 447 Crash 1A Paris appeals court delivered a dramatic verdict in one of the longest-running and most complex legal sagas in aviation history. The court overturned a 2023 acquittal and found both Airbus and Air France guilty of corporate manslaughter for the tragic 2009 crash of Flight AF447.The ruling marks a massive victory for the victims' families after a 17-year legal battle. A lower court had previously cleared the European planemaker and the French airline in 2023, ruling that while errors were made, a direct causal link to the crash couldn't be proven. The appeals court completely rejected that logic, declaring the companies "solely and entirely responsible" for the disaster.Ride-Share Drivers in Massachusetts Formally Unionize 100The App Drivers Union said it was the first organization in the country to be formally certified to represent drivers for apps such as Uber and Lyft.In a news release, the organization, the App Drivers Union, said it would represent nearly 70,000 workers in Massachusetts who now have the power to collectively bargain.MATTA very special “who do we blame for SpaceX IPO governance” gameFirst, some S-1 highlights:“Starlink internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars.” - MuskTranslation: We don't care much about Starlink, it's just paying our AI billsHe's not kidding: $3.2bn revenue for Starlink, net income of $1.2m$0.6bn revenue for rocket ship, net income of -$0.6bn$0.8bn revenue for AI, net income of -$2.5bnThis isn't a space company - it's classic Musk - you buy the vision (“To build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars.”), but what you're really buying is an internet company that spends all its money on AI and does some rockets on the sideLet someone else invent the car (Tesla) and make them sexy with “big visions” for “humanity”Let someone else invent the rockets, build new ones using someone else's moneyLet someone else invent the satellites, put a whole bunch in space (and buy more satellites from someone else)Musk initially took the role of “Chief Engineer”, but every engineering task seems to have been the other employees - he supplied the moneyShoehorned AI into space exploration because…?Grok is designed as a truth-seeking AI model, built on our founder Elon Musk's mission to enable humanity to understand the universe.

This week on Radio Night Live, Kevin McCullough and his co-host Cristyne Nicholas are gearing up for the ultimate celebration of America's birthday. With Memorial Day just around the corner, they're diving into the rich history of the American Revolution and the pivotal role New York City played in it. Joining them are two fascinating guests, Dr. Sarah Henry, the curator of the Museum of the City of New York's exhibit "Occupied City," and Dave Winters, the executive vice president of the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. Dr. Sarah Henry, Museum of the City of New York Dr. Sarah M. Henry has been a part of the Museum of the City of New York since 2001. Previously, Sarah served as the Robert A. and Elizabeth Rohn Jeffe Chief Curator and Deputy Director at the Museum of the City of New York, overseeing Museum exhibitions (over 200 to date) as well as publications and collections. She is responsible for the exhibition department's program strategy, long-range planning, and content, and she has led the curatorial work on such acclaimed exhibitions as This Is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture (2023) and New York at Its Core (2016) and now, The Occupied City: New York and the American Revolution (2026). Sarah received a Ph.D. in U.S. History from Columbia University and a B.A. from Yale in History and Mathematics/Philosophy. She received the Manhattan Borough President's “History Visionary Award,” is a member of the New York Academy of History and serves on the board of the International Council of Museums' Committee on the Collections and Activities of Museums of Cities. David Winters, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum David A. Winters serves as President of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a leading national organization supporting the military community. Since 2000 the Fund has raised over $200 million for families of military personnel lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for several special projects serving wounded military personnel. Winters oversees the Fund's strategic planning, fundraising and program execution. Winters has been with the Fund since its establishment in 2000 and became President in 2011. In 2011 the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund launched its current program: building a series of ten advanced treatment centers for military personnel suffering the effects of traumatic brain injury. To date $100 million has been raised for this effort, and eight of the ten centers have already been built and are open and operating, with another currently under construction. Winters also serves as Executive Vice President of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. Winters' responsibilities aboard Intrepid include management of events, special projects, government and military relations, and administration of the annual festival programs including Fleet Week, Kids Week and Free Fridays. Mr. Winters also serves as corporate secretary of the Museum. He joined the Intrepid Museum as a volunteer in 1992 and as an employee in 1993. Winters also serves as the Executive Vice President and Secretary of the Intrepid Relief Fund, which provides support to military personnel and families. Winters' responsibilities include administration of the Fund and directing fundraising efforts. Winters has worked with this effort since 1994. Winters served on the 1812 Advisory Group from 2010 through 2012, assisting with the Department of the Navy's planning for the War of 1812 Bicentennial celebrations. Winters' involvement in supporting America's military community began in March 1991, when he helped establish a volunteer charitable effort called Operation Support, which in just three months raised over a quarter million dollars to benefit the families of American military personnel lost in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Winters holds a BA degree from Fordham University.
The_Diary_of_Sophronia_Winters
Mark Dowdle ran 306.6 miles in 73 hours, drove 20 hours home, picked up a puppy, and was back umpiring youth baseball the next week. That's either the most unhinged post-race recovery plan in endurance sports history, or it's the most honest thing anyone's said about who he actually is.This is the conversation Dominic was saving for after the race—and it delivered on the hype. Mark walks through the G1M Ultra from the inside: the moment on the first night at 2 or 3 a.m. where he made the irreversible decision not to quit; the loop where he noticed Kim and Harvey were off their timing and knew what was coming; and the final miles walking with Kendall as both men quietly sensed the race was ending. The 13-second lap finish wasn't a dramatic sprint—it was two men who'd been through three days of mud and rain and dark deciding, together, to keep going one more time.What makes this conversation different from a typical winner's debrief is what Mark keeps returning to: the idea that who you are at a youth baseball game is exactly who you are at mile 290. His sister-in-law Lily's voice was in his earbuds pulling him through the low loops.The internal battle between wanting the race to end and wanting to see how far two people can actually go together. And the realization, standing upright after 73 hours, that he didn't have to perform for anyone.He also quietly drops that he's now officially a BPN athlete. The chapter he'd title What It Looks Like to Walk in Faith is just getting started.Tap into the Mark Dowdle Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is Jeffrey Winters, whose new book The Blind Spot: How Oligarchs Dominate Our Democracies makes the case that democracy as it functions now isn't, as many of us imagine, the only thing keeping the robber barons in check – it is, in fact, the very system that has enabled them to thrive. He tells me how the wealth gap in the US is now many multiples of that in ancient Rome, how extreme wealth translates into political power, and how reforming campaign finance laws is only a tiny part of the solution we need.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

It's #330rd for 30th April, 2026 or 3312! (33-Oh twelven) Squadron Briefing: BGS highlightsThe Loose Screws are in 413 star systems, controlling 123!Short PP Report: K5 Report pending -Cycle 78:Big winner for this cycle is Emperor Arissa. Not a lot of new systems, but 3 new strongholds and 2 new fortifieds gave her a great week.Antal in second, but really close behind are Kaine, Winters, and Princess AislingKaine and Winters tied for the best cycle on the FDev charts. 9 new systems for both, AND both with 1 new stronghold and 2 new fortifieds.Archer went negative for the cycle losing 2 fortifieds.Torval and Patreus both -1 for total systems this week.After 24 cycles since the end of 1 ton trading, the biggest loser (or the biggest cheat depending on how you look at it) is Zemina Torval. During the era of 1 ton trading, Zemina made solid, steady, progress in the number of systems. However, when 1 ton was fixed (in cycle 54), while most other powers adapted and recovered, Zemina has only managed to add 12 new system since then.https://www.k5elite.com/Dev News: -https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/update-operationsGalnet News: Galnet News | Elite Dangerous Community Site 4/28 - Zorgon Peterson Presents Lynx Highliner4/28 - Criminal Attacks Trigger Evacuation Effort in Lhou Mans4/30 - Guardian Artefact Research Initiative ConcludesDiscussion :Inside the board room of a zero arx shipCommunity Corner : Distant Worlds 3 waypoint is Phrua Flyuae ZE-A e7on 4/19Stellar Screen Shots happened Store Sale - Expressway Paint Jobs

This past winter tied Oregon’s record for the warmest winter ever recorded. The warmer temperatures have led to record-low snowpack levels not only in Oregon but across many other western states. Climate change will likely make our winters not only warmer but also rainier, as more of the winter precipitation falls as rain instead of snow. That rain and melting snow are also expected to move faster through our landscape into rivers and streams in the Pacific Northwest through the coming decades, according to a new study led by scientists at Oregon State University. Scientists developed a model that estimates current and future water transit times based on precipitation events in a tributary of the Yakima River. Faster water flows through the landscape could be a variable that water managers may need to consider when planning for summer months when water demand is greatest. Zach Butler is a postdoctoral researcher at OSU and the lead author of the study. He joins us for more details.

Maj. Gen. John "Trapper" Winters joins the Afterburn Podcast for a two-hour conversation covering one of the most unconventional paths to two stars in Air Force history — starting as an F-4 Electronic Warfare Officer and navigator, then beating 6% odds to earn a slot in pilot training, flying F-16s in the Aggressor program, commanding a fighter squadron, and ultimately rising to Mobilization Assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations at the Pentagon. In this episode, we cover it all. Trapper talks about growing up in a military family, knowing since age three that he wanted to fly fast jets, and what it actually took to make that happen — including working his way through B-52 EWO school, flying with Vietnam veterans who defined squadron culture through "fear, ridicule and sarcasm," and earning a pilot training slot when almost nobody believed it was coming.
