Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player on the planet and is about to start in his first world series. While insanely talented, most people don't know he's been using a secret goal-setting framework he learned as a child. It's called the Harada Method & here's how it works:

Should the traction stations on the rail line from Oryol to Lgov be disrupted such as the traction stations being destroyed then this effectively makes the entire region unable to utilize electric trains which is difficult for Russia because the overwhelming majority of their active locomotive are electric which will put further strain on Regional Freight rail in the Moscow Rail District. Red Lines are railroads that have been closed Orange lines are moderately degraded Yellow line at extreme risk of being attacked. Another add-on should the rail line from Oryol to Kursk be disrupted again such as the traction station being destroyed then that means the only rail line that will be able to sustain electric Freight and passenger trains coming from Bryansk making this the only Rail line that electric trains will be able to utilize in the entire region for both civilian and military rail traffic. If the rail maintenance and the locomotive depots are destroyed, this will put strain on not just electrical locomotives which won't really be useful anymore, But more importantly the diesel locomotives that will be the only option to run rail through Kursk and Belgorod Oblasts adding moderate logistical strain to Russian forces in Kharkiv under Task Group North and for the Russian Forces under Kursk Group. This is shaping the battlefield to isolate Russian forces under Kursk Group and rain the effects will be felt fairly quickly, particularly for Russian forces operating West and South of Lgov. With the rail network moderately degraded Russia will be forced to utilize trucks to fill the logistical void that will now have to travel from Bryansk and Oryol to Kursk, Lgov and Belgorod extremely ineffective and more importantly time consuming with limited daily resupply and will moderately impact Russia's ability to move horses in a timely manner to respond to Ukrainian attacks in the region.

One of our priorities when we are elected in November will be to ensure the USDA is led by an actual farmer or rancher. It's time to return our agencies, which have been captured and corrupted by corporate interests, back to the American people.

A family friend's father passed away unexpectedly. An only child, she was in grad school 600 miles away. She had to abruptly take off for home to help her mom. Not only are they grieving the loss, but it happened right at the start of planting. 1,500 acres of corn & soybeans to get in the ground. Spoke to her recently & the local farm community has really rallied around this mother & daughter to get the crop in. Thankful for the planting help, their biggest challenge is diving into, sorting out, and understanding the business side of the farm. Dad just always handled that aspect. They're sharp women and will get a handle on it, but it highlighted to me just how much info we keep stored in our heads. From input plans to lease details to payment terms to contacts to marketing strategies, and more. Written, detailed, and organized records would have been helpful as part of a contingency plan. Something I need to improve on should the unexpected occur.
