The 4th Part of LEAN is the topic of this Innovative Management Tools Building Fortunes Radio Show. This week, Patrick Seaton continues with the LEAN Management series. You can hear the previous shows about LEAN on https://buildingfortunesradio.com/imt Each week Patrick Seaton shares his decades long knowledge and experience and this week he explains his Word Interpretation approach towards better communication and increasing productivity. Patrick gives several stories and examples and even offers an opportunity to have access to his executive level training and coaching. Contact Patrick and tell him you heard him on Building Fortunes Radio. Patrick Seaton owns https://in novativemanagementtools.com Here is some information about LEAN: The primary target of LEAN is waste, categorized into seven (sometimes eight) types: overproduction, waiting, transport, overprocessing, inventory, motion, defects, and occasionally unused talent. By systematically tackling these, organizations can streamline operations. For example, a factory might reduce overproduction by adopting just-in-time manufacturing, ensuring parts arrive only as needed. A hospital might cut waiting times by reorganizing patient flow. The result? Efficiency skyrockets, costs drop, and quality improves. LEAN's strength lies in its practical tools. Techniques like 5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) organize workplaces for efficiency. Kanban boards visualize workflows, helping teams manage tasks. Root cause analysis, often via the "5 Whys" method, digs into problems rather than patching symptoms. These tools empower employees at all levels, fostering a culture where everyone contributes to improvement. However, LEAN isn't without challenges. It requires a cultural shift—top-down commitment and bottom-up engagement. Resistance to change can derail efforts, especially if workers fear job cuts rather than seeing LEAN as a growth enabler. Misapplication is another pitfall; focusing solely on cost-cutting without valuing quality can backfire, alienating customers. Successful LEAN adoption, like Toyota's, balances efficiency with innovation and respect for people. In practice, LEAN has transformed industries. Take software development: Agile methodologies borrow heavily from LEAN, emphasizing iterative progress and customer feedback. In healthcare, Virginia Mason Medical Center famously adopted LEAN to reduce patient wait times and improve care delivery. Even startups use LEAN to test ideas quickly and pivot based on real-world data. Ultimately, LEAN Management is about mindset as much as method. It's not a one-time fix but a philosophy of relentless optimization. Organizations that embrace it don't just survive—they thrive, adapting to change while keeping customers at the heart of every decision. In a world of finite resources and infinite demands, LEAN offers a blueprint for doing more with less, proving that efficiency and excellence can coexist.

Kell News Founder Terry Kelliher updates Building Fortunes Radio Listeners on Architecture and Progress of new project Launch at end of second quarter 2025 On this episode, Terry Kelliher launches Blog.News and the first channel https://publicaccess.blog.news/ We are always updating the Kell News site with the Kell News Radio shows. https://kell.news Public access news—locally produced, freely available journalism—serves as the lifeblood of informed communities. In an era of media consolidation and digital overload, it provides a vital counterweight, ensuring residents stay connected to the issues, events, and decisions shaping their daily lives. Unlike national outlets focused on broad trends or sensationalism, public access news drills down to the granular details—school board meetings, zoning disputes, local elections—that directly impact neighborhoods. Its importance lies in its ability to foster accountability, civic engagement, and a shared sense of identity. One key role of public access news is holding power to account. Local governments, businesses, and institutions often operate with less scrutiny than their national counterparts. Without dedicated coverage, mismanagement or corruption can fester unnoticed. A small-town paper or community radio station might expose a misallocated budget or a shady land deal, sparking public debate and action. For example, investigative reporting by local outlets has uncovered everything from toxic waste dumping to fraudulent school administrators—issues that might never hit the radar of distant media conglomerates. Beyond oversight, public access news drives civic participation. When people know what's happening—whether it's a new park proposal or a tax hike—they're more likely to vote, attend meetings, or voice opinions. Studies consistently show that communities with robust local news have higher voter turnout and engagement. In contrast, "news deserts," areas with little to no local coverage, see declining participation as residents become detached from local governance. Public access news bridges that gap, turning passive residents into active citizens. It also strengthens community bonds. National news often amplifies division, but local stories—about a firefighter's heroism, a school's fundraiser, or a cultural festival—highlight shared values and experiences. This isn't just feel-good fluff; it builds trust and social cohesion, essential for collective problem-solving. During crises like natural disasters, local outlets become lifelines, delivering real-time updates on shelters, road closures, and relief efforts when broader networks can't keep up. Yet, public access news faces threats. Ad revenue has plummeted as digital platforms siphon funding, forcing many small outlets to shutter. The rise of social media, while democratizing information, often spreads rumors faster than facts, undercutting credible local reporting. In response, some communities have turned to nonprofit models, crowdfunding, or public funding to sustain newsrooms. Others rely on volunteer-driven public access TV or radio, proving that grassroots efforts can fill the void. The stakes are high. Without local news, communities risk becoming fragmented, uninformed, and vulnerable to external agendas. A 2022 study found that areas with declining local coverage see more partisan polarization, as people turn to national echo chambers. Public access news counters this by grounding discourse in local realities, not abstract ideologies. In short, public access news isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. It empowers residents to shape their futures, keeps watchdogs on alert, and knits communities together. Supporting it means investing in democracy at its most tangible level: the places we call home. As corporate media retreats, local voices must rise, ensuring no community is left in the dark.

1 Ray Gebauer shares 1st F in FAST Formula for Success on Building Fortunes Radio with Peter Mingils
Ray Gebauer is a student and teacher of health and life development. He is a regular contributor on the Building Fortunes Radio show. On this episode, Ray starts a new series of podcasts with the acronym FAST. Today's show is now on the 1st F in FAST formula for success. Ray Gebauer spends significant time to explain different stories that explain the concept. The first S on this show is how to manage Stress. Managing Stress in Life: Practical Strategies for Balance Stress is an inevitable part of life, a universal thread weaving through work deadlines, family demands, and unexpected curveballs. Left unchecked, it can erode mental clarity, physical health, and overall joy. But managing stress isn't about eliminating it entirely—that's unrealistic. It's about building tools to navigate it with resilience and grace. Here's a 500-word guide to practical, actionable ways to keep stress in check and reclaim a sense of balance. First, recognize the signs. Stress often sneaks up, manifesting as irritability, sleepless nights, or a racing heart. Tuning into your body and mind is step one—catching it early lets you respond before it snowballs. Journaling can help: a quick five-minute dump of thoughts each day reveals patterns. Are you tense after meetings? Overwhelmed by chores? Pinpointing triggers sets the stage for control. Breathing is your secret weapon. It sounds simple, but deliberate, slow breaths—inhale for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for six—hit the reset button on your nervous system. Science backs this: deep breathing lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, in minutes. Keep it in your pocket for traffic jams, tough conversations, or that 3 a.m. worry spiral. Pair it with a grounding trick: name five things you see, four you can touch, three you hear. It pulls you out of your head and into the present. Movement matters, too. Exercise isn't just for fitness—it's a stress shredder. A 20-minute walk can cut anxiety by 25%, studies show, thanks to endorphin boosts. You don't need a gym; dance in your kitchen, stretch at your desk, or chase your dog around the yard. The key? Consistency over intensity. Find what feels good and stick with it—your brain will thank you. Boundaries are non-negotiable. Stress often spikes when we overcommit—saying yes to every favor, email, or late-night task. Practice a polite "no” or "not now.” At work, set clear hours; at home, carve out solo time. Tech amplifies this: mute notifications after 8 p.m. and let your mind unplug. It's not selfish—it's survival. People respect limits when you enforce them calmly and consistently. Fuel your body right. Stress thrives on chaos, and a diet of coffee and chips feeds it. Aim for balance: protein (eggs, nuts) steadies energy, complex carbs (oats, sweet potatoes) calm nerves, and hydration keeps fog at bay. Skip the all-or-nothing trap—swapping one soda for water is a win. Sleep's a game-changer, too: seven hours isn't a luxury, it's a shield. Dim lights and ditch screens an hour before bed to ease into it. Finally, lean on connection. Talking to a friend—really talking, not just venting—cuts stress by half, per research. If that's tough, a pet's unconditional vibe works wonders. For bigger loads, a therapist isn't a last resort; it's a proactive move. Even five minutes of laughter—podcasts, silly videos—shifts perspective. Managing stress is a daily dance, not a one-time fix. Start small: breathe, move, say no, rest. Build from there. Life won't stop throwing punches, but you can learn to roll with them—and maybe even land a few of your own. Ray Gebauer has made millions of dollars in the MLM industry and he is willing to share his experiences with you. He is building a home based business now and you can get his support if you work with him. Catch his series of radio shows on these segments on Building Fortunes Radio. Here's a bit more about Ray Gebauer: Ray Gebauer is a notable figure in the world of multi-level marketing (MLM), with a career spanning several decades. He started his journey in MLM in 1976 with Amway, a well-known MLM company, and over the years, has been involved with over 50 different MLM companies. Gebauer's drive in network marketing has been shaped by his belief in helping people improve their health and personal economy, as well as his ambition to return to a high level of income. This episode post on how self-development training can help you build a home-based network marketing business. It's written in a conversational yet informative tone, designed to engage readers and provide practical insights. Gebauer has written several books and conducted numerous workshops both nationally and internationally, focusing on network marketing strategies. His experiences have included significant highs, like owning a $2 million lakeside home in Bellevue, Washington, funded by his MLM earnings, and notable lows, such as a legal battle with the IRS over tax evasion, for which he was sentenced to three years in jail in 2007. Despite these challenges, Gebauer has remained active in the MLM community, often sharing insights through radio shows like "The Ray Gebauer Radio Show" on Building Fortunes Radio. His career illustrates both the potential rewards and risks associated with MLM, highlighting the importance of integrity, product belief, and strategic recruitment in the industry. His story serves as both an inspiration and a cautionary tale for those navigating the complex world of network marketing.

The Ideal Network's Founder Darlene Sartore talks about the changes and challenges with weather in the Midwest. Peter Mingils adds some of his "experience" and how The Great Discovery Platform can help. There is more on https://idealnetwork.info Challenges of Weather Changes in the Midwest Over the Next Five Years The Midwest, often dubbed America's breadbasket, faces a turbulent five years ahead as weather patterns shift under the weight of climate change. This region—spanning states like Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota—has long been defined by its fertile plains and seasonal rhythms. Yet, rising temperatures, erratic precipitation, and intensifying extremes are poised to disrupt agriculture, infrastructure, and daily life. Drawing from current climate trends and projections, here's a look at the challenges the Midwest will grapple with through 2030. First, temperature increases are accelerating. The Midwest has already warmed by about 1.5°F since the early 20th century, and models suggest another 2-4°F rise by 2030 if emissions remain unchecked. Summers will stretch longer and grow hotter, with heatwaves becoming more frequent and severe. Cities like Chicago and St. Louis, unaccustomed to prolonged triple-digit days, will strain under increased cooling demands, taxing aging power grids. Rural areas, meanwhile, will see livestock stress and crop yields falter—corn and soybeans, regional staples, thrive in specific temperature ranges that are shifting out of reach. By 2030, heat could cut yields by 10-20% in bad years, threatening food security and farmer livelihoods. Precipitation patterns are another wild card. The Midwest is trending wetter overall, with a 5-15% increase in annual rainfall since 1950, but the delivery is uneven. Spring deluges are intensifying, driven by a warmer atmosphere holding more moisture—think 2019's floods that drowned millions of acres of farmland. Yet summers may dry out, with droughts creeping northward from the Plains. This boom-and-bust cycle challenges soil management: heavy rains erode topsoil, while dry spells parch it. Over the next five years, farmers will need costly adaptations—cover crops, drainage systems, or drought-resistant seeds—to keep pace, assuming they can afford them. Extreme weather will hit harder and more often. Tornadoes, a Midwest hallmark, may increase in frequency or shift seasonally as warmer, moister air fuels storms. The 2021 December tornado outbreak in Kentucky hints at this potential expansion. Meanwhile, derechos—straight-line wind events like the one that flattened Iowa crops in 2020—could become annual risks, damaging homes, power lines, and fields. Winter isn't spared: milder temperatures will reduce snowpack but spike ice storms as freeze-thaw cycles multiply. By 2030, infrastructure—roads, bridges, levees—will face a battering, with repair costs soaring into the billions. Communities will feel the ripple effects. Rural towns, already shrinking, may hollow out further as farming profits thin. Urban areas, like Minneapolis or Detroit, will wrestle with heat islands and flooding, disproportionately hitting low-income neighborhoods with poor drainage or limited air conditioning. Public health risks—heatstroke, vector-borne diseases like West Nile, even mental strain from relentless weather whiplash—will climb. Adaptation funds will be stretched thin, especially in states with tight budgets. The Midwest's next five years hinge on resilience. Green tech, like solar-powered irrigation or flood-resistant urban design, offers hope, but deployment lags. Policy—crop insurance reform, emissions cuts—could soften the blow, yet political gridlock looms large. Without swift action, the region's heartland charm risks fraying under a climate that no longer plays by the old rules. The forecast? Change, with a chance of struggle.

McDonald is one of the most successful franchises in the world. Ken Nielson shares his views on the McDonald's franchising business model and the MLM Home Based Business model. Peter Mingils explains a few ideas as well. By coincidence Peter Mingils talk at an MLM certification program with Dr. Charles King and McDonald's Hamburger U. Here is more about Hamburger U. Hamburger University: McDonald's Training Legacy in Oak Brook Nestled in the suburban expanse of Oak Brook, Illinois, Hamburger University stands as a testament to McDonald's commitment to operational excellence and employee development. For decades, this unique training center served as the beating heart of the fast-food giant's global education efforts, shaping the skills and mindsets of countless managers, franchisees, and leaders. While its flagship campus has since relocated to Chicago, the Oak Brook era of Hamburger University remains an iconic chapter in McDonald's history—a story of innovation, ambition, and a relentless pursuit of consistency. The Birth of a Fast-Food Academy Hamburger University's origins trace back to 1961, when McDonald's was still a burgeoning chain under the visionary leadership of Ray Kroc. The idea was simple yet revolutionary: create a formalized training program to ensure that every McDonald's restaurant, no matter where it was located, delivered the same quality, service, and efficiency. The first classes weren't held in a gleaming corporate campus but in the basement of a McDonald's restaurant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. With just 14 students and a curriculum crafted by Fred L. Turner—a former grill cook who would later become McDonald's CEO—this humble beginning laid the groundwork for what would become a global institution. Turner's influence was pivotal. He understood that McDonald's success hinged on its people, not just its burgers. By standardizing training, he aimed to replicate the magic of the original McDonald's experience across every location. That basement classroom was the seed of Hamburger University, a place where the art of flipping burgers would evolve into a science of management and leadership. The Oak Brook Era: A Campus Like No Other By 1983, McDonald's had outgrown its makeshift roots. The company unveiled a sprawling, state-of-the-art facility in Oak Brook, a suburb about 20 miles west of Chicago. Set on an 80-acre campus, the new Hamburger University was a $40 million investment in the future of the brand. The site wasn't just a training center—it was a symbol of McDonald's growing dominance in the fast-food world. Surrounded by lush forest preserves and featuring a serene lake, the campus offered a retreat-like atmosphere, blending nature with cutting-edge facilities. The Oak Brook Hamburger University, officially named the Fred L. Turner Training Center, was designed to impress and inspire. It boasted 13 teaching rooms, a 300-seat auditorium, 12 interactive team rooms, and three kitchen labs where trainees could hone their skills in real-world simulations. The faculty, consisting of 19 full-time instructors, could teach in 28 languages, reflecting McDonald's expanding global footprint. Interpreters provided simultaneous translation, ensuring that students from Tokyo to São Paulo could learn in their native tongues. It was a place where the Golden Arches met academia, earning the playful nickname "Hamburgerology” for its degree-like certifications. What Happens at Hamburger U? Hamburger University wasn't about flipping burgers—though that skill was certainly part of the equation. It was a rigorous management training program aimed at restaurant managers, mid-level leaders, and franchise owners. The curriculum covered everything from operational procedures (quality, service, cleanliness, and value) to leadership development, customer service, and business administration. Students tackled simulations like staffing a restaurant to meet sales goals, handling customer complaints, and perfecting the fry station setup. A dry burger or an empty salt shaker in a mock kitchen could mean the difference between passing and failing a drill. The program was intense. General managers, for instance, attended the GM Capstone course, a week-long immersion that cost franchisees $145 per participant (plus travel and lodging). Classes blended lectures with hands-on teamwork, evolving over the years to incorporate digital tools and real-time feedback. Students who scored 90% or higher earned a spot on the dean's list, a coveted honor that came with a gold seal on their diploma. About one in ten made the cut, a testament to the program's high standards. Beyond technical skills, Hamburger University fostered a sense of culture and pride. Ray Kroc's presence lingered in the form of videotaped lectures, even after his death in 1984, reminding students of the company's roots. For many, it was a career springboard—40% of McDonald's global leadership, including former USA President Mike Andres, passed through its doors. Some even used their credits (up to 23 toward a "Hamburgerology” degree) to pursue further education at accredited colleges, turning fast-food training into a stepping stone for broader ambitions. A Global Network Takes Shape While Oak Brook was the flagship, Hamburger University grew into a worldwide network. By the time the Oak Brook campus was in full swing, additional locations had opened in Tokyo (1971), Munich (1982), London (1981), Sydney (1989), São Paulo (1996), and later Shanghai (2010) and Moscow. Each campus adapted the core curriculum to local needs, but the Oak Brook facility remained the gold standard—a pilgrimage site for McDonald's employees aspiring to climb the ranks. The global reach underscored McDonald's scale: over 275,000 graduates have earned their "degrees” since 1961, with 5,000 students passing through annually at its peak. The Oak Brook campus alone was a hub of activity, hosting classes, developing new training methods, and even testing international menu items. It was a place where the Chicken Big Mac or a Bulgarian veggie burger might first see the light of day, bridging local tastes with global standards. The Move to Chicago and Legacy in Oak Brook In 2018, McDonald's made a bold move: it relocated its global headquarters and Hamburger University from Oak Brook to Chicago's West Loop, settling into a sleek, modern complex on the site of Oprah Winfrey's former Harpo Studios. The decision reflected a shift toward urban vibrancy and tech-driven learning, with the new facility boasting video broadcast capabilities and Instagram-worthy spaces tagged #HamburgerUniversity. The Oak Brook campus, once a jewel in McDonald's crown, was sold in 2019 to John Paul DeJoria, co-founder of Paul Mitchell Systems, leaving behind a legacy etched in the memories of its alumni. The departure marked the end of an era, but the Oak Brook years defined Hamburger University's identity. It was more than a training center—it was a cultural hub where McDonald's distilled its ethos of consistency and growth. The campus's serene setting belied the high-stakes education within, where a missed detail in a mock kitchen could ripple across thousands of restaurants worldwide. Why It Mattered Hamburger University in Oak Brook wasn't just about fries and burgers; it was about building a workforce capable of sustaining a global empire. McDonald's pioneered corporate education at a time when few companies saw the value in such investment. By 2025, with the company's knowledge continuously evolving, the Oak Brook chapter remains a foundational story—a reminder of how a basement classroom grew into a world-class institution. For McDonald's, it's proof that success isn't just in the recipe; it's in the people who bring it to life.

Securing Your Bitcoin Wallet in 2025: A Guide to Protecting Your Digital Wealth As Bitcoin continues its ascent in 2025, with prices hovering at all-time highs and mainstream adoption accelerating, securing your Bitcoin wallet has never been more critical. Unlike traditional bank accounts, Bitcoin offers unparalleled autonomy—but with that freedom comes the responsibility of safeguarding your assets. A single misstep could mean losing everything to hackers, scams, or simple oversight. Here's how to lock down your Bitcoin wallet and ensure your digital wealth stays safe. First, understand the basics: a Bitcoin wallet doesn't store coins; it holds private keys—cryptographic codes that grant access to your funds on the blockchain. Lose your keys, and your Bitcoin is gone forever. Compromise them, and thieves can drain your wallet in seconds. Security starts with choosing the right wallet type. Software wallets (apps or desktop programs) are convenient but vulnerable to malware. Hardware wallets, like Ledger or Trezor, offer offline "cold storage,” making them the gold standard for long-term holders. In 2025, hybrid options—combining hardware security with mobile access—are gaining traction, but always verify a wallet's reputation before use. The cornerstone of wallet security is your private key or seed phrase, a 12-24 word string generated when you create a wallet. Never store this digitally—screenshots or cloud backups are hacker bait. Instead, write it down on paper or engrave it on metal for durability (products like CryptoSteel are popular in 2025). Store copies in secure, separate locations, like a safe or a bank vault. If someone accesses your seed phrase, they own your Bitcoin—no exceptions. Strong passwords are non-negotiable. In 2025, brute-force attacks are more sophisticated, so use a unique, complex passphrase (at least 16 characters, mixing letters, numbers, and symbols) for your wallet software or exchange accounts. Avoid reusing passwords from other sites; a breach elsewhere could cascade to your crypto. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds another layer—opt for app-based 2FA like Google Authenticator over SMS, which can be intercepted via SIM-swapping scams. Beware of phishing, a persistent threat in 2025. Fake wallet apps, spoofed emails, and malicious links can trick you into revealing keys or sending funds to scammers. Always double-check URLs, download software from official sources, and verify transaction addresses manually. If a deal or message seems too good to be true—like a "free Bitcoin” offer—it's a trap. Stick to reputable exchanges and wallets with transparent security records. For significant holdings, consider multisignature (multisig) wallets, which require multiple keys to authorize a transaction. Popular in 2025, multisig setups (e.g., 2-of-3 keys) distribute risk—lose one key, and your funds remain safe. They're ideal for shared accounts or estate planning, ensuring your Bitcoin can be accessed by trusted heirs without compromising security. Finally, stay proactive. Regularly update your wallet software to patch vulnerabilities, monitor your addresses on blockchain explorers for unauthorized activity, and test your backup process to confirm it works. In 2025, Bitcoin's value makes it a prime target, but with diligence—cold storage, secure keys, and scam awareness—you can protect your wallet from threats. Your Bitcoin is only as safe as the measures you take to guard it. https://networkleads.com is the website where Jean Luc got started. This was ordered in 1998 and is still working today.

Book your cruise or travel through Harshman Travel today! https://harshmantravel.com The Cruise Industry in 2025: A Voyage of Recovery and Innovation As we sail into 2025, the cruise industry stands at a pivotal moment, balancing remarkable recovery with ambitious innovation. After navigating the stormy waters of the early 2020s—marked by the global pandemic and its lingering economic ripples—the sector has rebounded with vigor, adapting to new traveler expectations and global challenges. This year, the industry is not just surviving; it's thriving, propelled by sustainability efforts, technological advancements, and a renewed appetite for experiential travel. The resurgence of cruising in 2025 is evident in the numbers. Industry analysts estimate that global cruise passenger volume will surpass 35 million this year, exceeding pre-pandemic highs of 2019. Major players like Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean Group, and Norwegian Cruise Line have expanded their fleets, with over 20 new ships launched since 2023. These vessels are not merely bigger—some boasting capacities of over 7,000 passengers—but smarter, designed with cutting-edge technology to enhance guest experiences and minimize environmental impact. Sustainability is the anchor of the industry's 2025 narrative. With climate change concerns at the forefront, cruise lines have accelerated their transition to greener operations. Liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered ships, such as Icon of the Seas by Royal Caribbean, have become the gold standard, reducing carbon emissions by up to 20% compared to traditional fuel. Meanwhile, hybrid-electric propulsion systems are gaining traction, allowing ships to operate silently in sensitive ecosystems like Alaska's Glacier Bay or Norway's fjords. Onboard, waste management has evolved, with advanced recycling systems and a push toward zero-waste dining, reflecting passengers' growing eco-consciousness. Technology is transforming the cruise experience in 2025, making it more seamless and personalized. Artificial intelligence plays a starring role, from AI-driven itinerary planners that adapt to weather or passenger preferences to smart cabins that adjust lighting and temperature based on occupancy. Wearable devices, now standard on many lines, double as room keys, payment methods, and real-time excursion trackers. Virtual reality lounges offer immersive previews of destinations, while high-speed satellite internet—thanks to partnerships with companies like Starlink—keeps guests connected even in the middle of the ocean. Destinations, too, are evolving. While the Caribbean and Mediterranean remain perennial favorites, 2025 sees a surge in "expedition cruising” to remote locales like Antarctica, the Galápagos, and the Arctic Circle. Smaller, luxury-focused ships cater to travelers seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort, with expert-led programs on wildlife and climate science. Meanwhile, emerging ports in Southeast Asia and Africa are drawing crowds, diversifying itineraries and boosting local economies. Challenges persist, however. Rising fuel costs, geopolitical tensions, and stricter environmental regulations test the industry's resilience. Labor shortages, a hangover from the pandemic, have prompted cruise lines to invest heavily in crew training and retention, ensuring service quality keeps pace with demand. Yet, the outlook remains buoyant. Bookings for 2025 are up 15% year-over-year, with multigenerational travel—a sweet spot for cruising—driving growth as families reunite on the high seas. In 2025, the cruise industry is a microcosm of modern travel: a blend of indulgence, innovation, and responsibility. As ships set sail toward a more sustainable and tech-savvy horizon, they carry not just passengers, but a vision of what the future of leisure can be—one where the journey is as vital as the destination.

Terry Kelliher updates Building Fortunes Radio Listeners on Progress of new project Launch Terry Kelliher is updating The Kell News Listeners on where he stands as a Founder and Inventor of the most detailed comprehensive project the internet has seen to date. That might sound a bit huge, and it really is. This is decades in the making. Terry Kelliher talks about the program he has been working on and the people he has brought on to help. With hundreds of domain names registered bundled into 20+ groups, Terry has cornered the Internet market for News, Services, and events. Terry Kelliher talks about the new programmer who is helping shape up the platform towards the expected launch in second quarter of 2025. He also explains how he's working with graphic and AI experts to make this whole project come together. In today's digital age, where global news is just a click away, the importance of local news can often be overlooked. However, a local news website brings a plethora of benefits that are vital for the health and engagement of our community. Firstly, local news keeps us informed about what matters most to us – our neighborhoods, schools, and local businesses. It reports on issues that directly affect our daily lives, from road closures and public safety alerts to local elections and community events. This hyper-local focus ensures that we're not just bystanders but active participants in our community's narrative. Secondly, local news fosters community connection . By providing a platform for local voices, stories, and achievements, it strengthens the bonds between residents. It's where you learn about the new café opening down the street, the achievements of local athletes, or the struggles of a neighbor advocating for change. This connection builds a sense of belonging and community pride. Moreover, local news supports local journalism . In an era where newsrooms are shrinking, local news websites are often run by dedicated journalists who know the area inside out. They hold local leaders accountable, uncover stories that might otherwise go unnoticed, and provide in-depth coverage that national outlets might skip over. Lastly, local news can be an economic booster . By highlighting local businesses, events, and initiatives, it drives economic activity within the community. It's also a platform for small businesses to advertise, ensuring they get the visibility they need to thrive. Support Local News and Stay Informed In essence, supporting a local news website isn't just about staying informed; it's about investing in the vitality, accountability, and unity of our community. Let's champion our local news to keep our community vibrant and connected. Local News impacts the community event coverage. Local news serves as the heartbeat of a community, keeping residents connected and informed about the issues that directly impact their daily lives. It's more than just headlines; it's about fostering a sense of belonging and civic engagement. By covering local government, schools, businesses, and events, local journalism ensures transparency and accountability. It highlights stories of local heroes, shines a light on community needs, and celebrates cultural heritage. In an era where misinformation can spread rapidly, local news provides a trusted source of information, tailored to the unique context of the area. This engagement not only educates but also empowers individuals to participate in local democracy, ensuring that decisions reflect the community's voice and values. Without local news, communities risk losing their identity and the vital discourse necessary for growth and problem-solving. Learn more on https://kell.news As of March 6, 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative of the second Trump administration led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is driving significant changes aimed at reducing federal spending and restructuring government operations. While DOGE is not an official government department but rather an advisory body working with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), it has been granted broad influence through executive actions. Below is a summary of the changes DOGE is making or proposing, based on available information up to this date: Key Changes Implemented or Underway by DOGE Establishment and Structure DOGE was officially launched on January 20, 2025, via Executive Order 14158, which repurposed the United States Digital Service (USDS) into the United States DOGE Service (USDS) and created a temporary organization, the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization (USDSTO), set to dissolve by July 4, 2026. "DOGE teams" have been embedded within federal agencies to oversee efficiency efforts, staffed partly by special government employees (temporary workers limited to 130 days per year). Workforce Reductions Through Executive Order 14210 (February 11, 2025), DOGE is pushing a "Workforce Optimization Initiative" mandating significant cuts. Agencies must justify new hires, with a policy of hiring one employee for every four who leave. Reports suggest over 100,000 federal workers have been affected, with actions like mass firings, relocations outside Washington, D.C., and a five-day-a-week in-office mandate aimed at reducing staff. Spending Cuts and Contract Reviews Executive Order 14210 (February 26, 2025) introduced a "Cost Efficiency Initiative," requiring agencies to review and terminate or modify discretionary contracts, grants, and loans, prioritizing those to educational institutions and foreign entities for "waste, fraud, and abuse." DOGE claims $55 billion in savings within its first 30 days, though independent analyses (e.g., NPR) dispute this, noting discrepancies like misreported contract values (e.g., an $8 million contract counted as $8 billion) and $46.5 billion not tied to specific cuts. Regulatory and Administrative Reforms DOGE is targeting regulatory rollbacks, aiming to rescind rules deemed excessive, and has restored Trump's first-term "one in, two out" policy for new regulations. Initiatives include using AI to streamline federal codes and modernizing outdated IT systems, though specifics remain vague. Specific Program Terminations Actions include ending the Biden-era "Climate Corps," pausing foreign aid grants for accountability reviews, and terminating the Federal Executive Institute and federal media contracts labeled as "fake news." Proposed or Speculated Changes of DOGE Implementation Massive Budget Reduction Goals Musk has suggested cutting $2 trillion from the $6.8 trillion federal budget, though experts like Larry Summers argue $200 billion is more realistic. No detailed plan has been finalized, but DOGE is reviewing duplicative or outdated programs. Agency Restructuring Plans include dismantling or downsizing agencies like the Department of Education, with proposals to shift programs elsewhere if eliminated. The Schedule F plan, reclassifying civil servants as political appointees, is under consideration to reshape the bureaucracy. Technology and Transparency DOGE aims to modernize federal technology, potentially integrating AI and chatbots, and has pledged to post actions online, though its use of the Presidential Records Act (exempting disclosure until 2034) has sparked transparency disputes. Controversies and Challenges Accuracy and Criticism : Claims of fraud (e.g., Musk's assertion of 20 million Social Security recipients over 100) have been debunked, and savings figures are contested. Critics call DOGE's approach chaotic, prioritizing disruption over sustainable reform. Legal Limits : Operating outside traditional government structures, DOGE's authority is limited to recommendations unless Congress acts, though executive orders give it significant sway over agency heads. Impact : Job losses (up 245% in March 2025 per Challenger, Gray, & Christmas) and potential service disruptions (e.g., air-traffic control staffing) worry critics, while supporters see it as a bold fix to bureaucracy. Current Status of DOGE Long Term Goals DOGE's work is ongoing, with a deadline of July 4, 2026, aligning with Trump's vision of a leaner government for America's 250th anniversary. While it has made headlines with aggressive cuts and ambitious rhetoric, its long-term impact remains uncertain, hinging on Congressional cooperation, legal challenges (e.g., from groups like CREW), and the administration's ability to translate recommendations into action.
