Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEThese fictional books predicted the Titanic, nuclear weapons, presidential names, and pandemic lockdowns before they happened, and with such terrifying accuracy that you'll question whether the authors were writing fiction — or prophecy.IN THIS EPISODE: The captain and crew of the ocean vessel St. Andrew not only saw what appeared to be a flying saucer – but narrowly avoided being destroyed by it when it dove into the sea, almost crashing into their ship. (The Falling Saucer) *** We hear of crashed UFOs, flying saucers, or extraterrestrial spacecraft – but… how reliable are the stories we've been told? We'll look at cases after the Roswell incident to see if they hold up. (Where Are The Crashed UFOs?) *** In the Mexican city of Durango there lived a witch who, while stunning beautiful, was grotesquely ugly when it came to her soul and personality – because people never seemed to believe her when she told them of the powers she possessed. And some regretted that. (The Witch of Durango) *** Imagine yourself in the Old West renting a carriage, forgetting to return it the next morning on time, and because of that, having the finger of murder being pointed at you. That's what happened to Hattie Woolsteen. (The Trial of Hattie Woolsteen) *** A cemetery off the western coast of Winnipeg has lost its gravestones, the house that used to be there is gone, but that doesn't mean that souls don't reside there. (The Legend of Nes Cemetery) *** But first – we'll look at nine books, works of fiction, but somehow they eerily predicted the future with stunning accuracy. We begin with that story.

Hear why that “psst” when you pull the chuck is just hose air (not lost PSI), how to set smarter pressures for tandems and “big-butt” weight splits using a bathroom scale, and what tread actually grips on loose-over-hard. Josh also demystifies analog vs. digital gauge accuracy (and drift) and tackles the carbon-on-the-cheap question—when a bargain is fine, and when it's a dentist bill waiting to happen.

This week on Acceptable Accuracy, Tyler goes solo to share what he's been teaching kids all summer in the Target & Sports group at church. From Nerf guns to AR-15 dry fire drills, the focus has been on instilling safety, responsibility, stewardship, and how to be “dangerous under control.” With highlights like laser tag night and range day, Tyler unpacks how small lessons in safety and responsibility reflect a bigger truth—those who are faithful in little can be faithful in much.
Welcome back to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech.' This week, we examine the massive regulatory and technological currents shaping legal practice. AI adoption is driving unprecedented efficiency, as seen when firms use specialized tools to recover thousands of pounds in outstanding debt in under five minutes or employ agentic AI to transform document processing into strategic decision-making through specialized, collaborative agents. Simultaneously, the legal system faces critical threats to its integrity: deepfake technology can fabricate evidence, such as manipulated audio or forged documents, in high-stakes cases like divorce and custody disputes, while generative AI "hallucinations" introduce phantom cases and invented quotations directly into court filings, exposing lawyers to sanctions and prompting courts to retract decisions. To address these dangers, governing bodies are stepping in; California enacted landmark legislation requiring major AI developers to publicly disclose safety protocols and report critical safety incidents—including dangerous deceptive behavior during testing—and new data protection laws, such as Maryland's MODPA, impose heightened restrictions on processing sensitive personal data and information related to individuals under 18. As legal educators integrate mandatory AI certification into core curricula, we explore how legal professionals are building the necessary tech fluency to govern and leverage these powerful tools.Rosen Law Firm Investigating Disney's Child Privacy Violations2025-09-30 | InvestorsHangout.comCalifornia enacts AI safety law targeting tech giants2025-09-29 | Black Hills PioneerCalifornia enacts AI safety law targeting tech giants2025-09-29 | Fox41Yakima.comGarfield Law shares “£7k in 5 minutes” debt recovery and says Mazur judgment is driving firms to AI2025-09-29 | Legal IT InsiderAI in the Legal Profession2025-09-29 | Bracewell LLPIf Brad Pitt Can Be Deepfaked, So Can Divorce Evidence2025-09-29 | Forbes.comReminder: Maryland Data Protection Law Comes into Effect on October 1st2025-09-29 | JD SupraExploring Innovative Strategies for Law Firm Advancement2025-09-29 | InvestorsHangout.comWhen AI 'Lies': The Legal Risks of Hallucinations2025-09-29 | Wisconsin Lawyer MagazineBigLaw Firms Double Down on AI: New Strategies Aim to Boost Attorney Adoption2025-09-29 | JDJournalLaw Schools Go High-Tech: Mandatory AI Certification Now Part of Legal Education2025-09-29 | JDJournalLife as a lawyer taking on AI-fuelled fraud2025-09-29 | Legal CheekMilbank LLP To Host Call for Unsecured Bondholders of Braskem S.A.2025-09-29 | StockTitan.netUnlocking Blockchain and NFTs: A Deep Dive into Technologies2025-09-29 | InvestorsHangout.comExclusive: Lexroom raises $19M to scale AI-powered legal tech across Europe2025-09-29 | Tech Funding NewsAI-powered fraud detection platform raises £1m - advised by Weightmans2025-09-29 | Insider Media LimitedBoost Your Visibility in AI Search With Our New FAQs AI Optimization Tool2025-09-29 | Legal Marketing & Technology BlogFrom Documents to Decisions: How Agentic AI Is Rewiring Legal Workflows2025-09-29 | Legaltech on MediumIus Laboris and Lewis Silkin partner to launch global employment law guide powered by AI2025-09-29 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyDiving into Data: Managing the Legal Risks of a Data-Driven Economy2025-09-29 | Stoe Rives LLPPittsburgh Tax Review Symposium, AI in Tax Law: Tax Administration & Educating the Next Generation, October 18, 20252025-09-28 | The Faculty LoungeAI and the IP Legal Landscape: Disruption, Opportunity, and the Path Forward2025-09-28 | Legal Technology News - Legal IT Professionals | Everything legal technologyKarisma Kapoor family battle escalates with children alleging massive £2.52 billion estate accounts wiped while court questions will's validity2025-09-27 | Eastern Eye

Sterile processing teams are under constant pressure—handling growing surgical demands, working short-staffed, and navigating strict regulations—so getting every instrument tray assembled right the first time has never mattered more. Even a single assembly error can cascade into costly OR delays or, worse, compromise patient safety. Recent research highlights that most surgical instrument errors stem from failures in inspection and identification, and these mistakes frequently lead to operating room delays and wasted resources. In this climate, artificial intelligence tools are stepping in to help SPDs raise their quality benchmarks.How can AI-powered verification like Censis' Final Check feature transform the daily realities of sterile processing teams? And beyond efficiency, what impact does this technology have on compliance, staff morale, and hospital culture at large?This episode of ConCensis, hosted by Daniel Litwin, the Voice of B2B at MarketScale, dives deep into these questions with guest Greg Warino, the Market Director of Central Sterile Processing at Mercy Health. Together, they explore how Final Check is reshaping workflows, reducing errors, and reinforcing trust across OR teams.The key topics of discussion are…Error reduction at scale: Since implementing Final Check, Mercy Health's SPDs dropped tray indicator errors from 15–20 per month to virtually zero across three hospitals and a surgery center.Compliance and confidence: Final Check provides photographic proof of tray accuracy, easing survey readiness and empowering technicians with verifiable documentation.Culture shift and retention: By embracing cutting-edge AI, SPD teams report higher confidence, lower turnover, and renewed trust from perioperative staff.Greg Warino, CRCST, CHL, is an experienced sterile processing leader with over a decade in perioperative support operations. He currently serves as the Market Director of Central Sterile Processing at Mercy Health, where he has led teams for nearly seven years, overseeing quality, compliance, and efficiency across multiple hospitals. Previously, he managed sterile processing at Steward Health Care for five years, strengthening his expertise in team leadership, process improvement, and patient safety.

Welcome back to Belk on Business! I'm Josh Belk, and today we're stepping away from our usual tax law breakdowns to talk about something just as essential—ethics and professionalism. Inspired by a deep dive into IRS Circular 230, I unpack three foundational principles that every business owner and professional should embody: competence, diligence as to accuracy, and handling conflicts of interest.This episode isn't just for accountants—it's for anyone who wants to lead their business with integrity, build trust, and make sharper decisions. If you're serious about being the kind of leader people respect and rely on, this one's for you.3 Key TakeawaysCompetence Builds Trust: It's not just about passing tests—real competence means staying current, asking for help, doing the research, and being thorough in every process.Accuracy Demands Diligence: Whether you're working with numbers or clients, accuracy starts with asking the right questions and ends with meticulous documentation and reasonable care.Conflicts of Interest Can Derail Trust: Recognizing, disclosing, and properly managing conflicts is essential to maintain fairness, trust, and professional integrity.Episode Timeline & Highlights[0:00] – Why this episode is different: stepping into ethical principles from IRS Circular 230[1:20] – What Circular 230 means for tax professionals—and business owners[2:05] – The importance of competence and continuous learning[3:07] – Knowing when to ask for help and delegate[4:34] – Legal and procedural knowledge is essential in every business[5:26] – Incompetence undermines trust—don't fake what you don't know[7:17] – Diligence as to accuracy: asking the right questions and verifying info[8:17] – Real-world examples of documentation, thoroughness, and AI pitfalls[10:27] – Understanding the nuance of each client's unique situation[11:07] – Recognizing and resolving conflicts of interest in professional settings[12:34] – Ethical behavior promotes fairness, trust, and decision-making clarity[13:23] – Final thoughts on making decisions based on merit, data, and systemsLinks & ResourcesIRS Circular 230 Guidance: https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/circular-230If this episode resonated with you, be sure to rate, follow, and review Belk on Business.

Unreliable weather forecasts could become a thing of the past. Earth Sciences NZ has unveiled a new supercomputer called Cascade, which uses AI to predict the weather patterns. It can now make a five-day forecast as reliable as a two-day one. Chris Brandolino, Principal Scientist at NIWA, told Mike Hosking this supercomputer is about three times more powerful than its predecessor, with computing speeds of 2.4 petaflops. He says they'll be able to expand the area they monitor, and then over the next year or so they'll be looking to grow longer range predictions from 5-days to 10-days.

In today's MadTech Daily, we cover Magnite suing Google, Google investing £5bn in the UK's AI sector, and the Australian government guiding platforms on the under-16 social media ban
Emotions are high and our impulses - while entirely understandable - aren't always the best reaction to moments like these. Case in point - the Attorney General's reaction to those online saying vile things in the aftermath of the horror last week involving Charlie Kirk. Also, be mindful of those who'd try to co-opt Charlie's identity and message for their own designs. Megyn Kelly has a thought on this worth hearing. Vice President JD Vance made history yesterday as he hosted the Charlie Kirk Show and you'll hear some of the most poignant moments.

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sat down with fellow Irishman Paul Byrnes, CEO of Mavarick AI, to explore how manufacturers can use AI and data to tackle the notoriously difficult challenge of Scope 3 emissions.Paul brings a unique perspective, rooted in both deep data science and hands-on manufacturing experience, and he didn't shy away from the hard truths: most companies still struggle with messy, unreliable data and limited supplier engagement. We unpack why primary data will soon become table stakes, why spend-based estimates can be 40% off the mark, and how engaging suppliers requires a simple but often overlooked question, what's in it for them?We also discussed where AI genuinely moves the needle:Boosting confidence in data accuracy by identifying gaps and “contaminated” entriesProviding personalised training to help suppliers meet sustainability requestsUncovering and prioritising decarbonisation levers with clear ROIPaul shared real-world examples, from medical devices to automotive, that show how targeted projects, rather than trying to tackle all 15 Scope 3 categories at once, deliver the best results. We also touched on the environmental footprint of AI itself, energy, water, rare materials, and how responsible computing and smaller, purpose-built models can reduce the impact.For leaders wrestling with emissions strategy, Paul's advice is simple: start by mapping your data landscape. Know where you're rich, where you're poor, and build from there.This is a practical, candid conversation about making sustainability and profitability work hand-in-hand, and why efficiency wins are so often sustainability wins.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

THE DISCERNING OF SPIRITS (ATTAINING ACCURACY IN PERCEPTION) WITH APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN |14||09|2025
In this People First Builders episode, host Fletcher Wimbush sits down with Matt Aston, founder and CEO of GPRS, a national leader in private utility locating, concrete scanning, and subsurface mapping. Matt shares how a single magazine ad in 2001 sparked an idea that grew from a one person startup into a coast to coast company with more than 900 team members and a reputation for accuracy, safety, and innovation. Matt explains the difference between public 811 locating and GPRS private utility work, why depth data changes decisions on site, and how early failures shaped a culture that aims to be right the first time, every time. He breaks down GPRS hiring and training systems, including SIM, the company's subsurface investigation methodology, a purpose built training center, ride alongs before offers, and a multi month ramp with ongoing assessments. The conversation also covers leadership development, a referral engine that drives nearly half of annual hires, incentive based compensation that can make up 30 to 50 percent of pay, and broad based employee ownership that tracks the same class of stock as leadership. Key takeaways Accuracy that scales: about 120,000 jobs in the last year with a reported error rate near 0.1 percent. Private vs public locating: 811 marks public rights of way, while GPRS supports contractors on private property and provides depth data that changes plans and prevents damage. Hire for character, teach the skill: referrals supply close to half of new hires, followed by structured interviews, ride alongs, and three to four months of training. Process over heroics: SIM gives field teams a consistent approach, supported by a full training lab and university partnerships for real world practice. Retention flywheel: once team members pass roughly 12 to 18 months, annual retention jumps into the mid 90s. Ownership and incentives: field compensation includes meaningful performance bonuses, and an opt in equity program opened in 2020 where everyone holds the same class of stock, aligned with private equity growth goals.

Today we'll be talking about something that is right up Scout Trooper's alley - movie, TV, and video game guns. Many of our generation who grew up watching 80s action movies, playing early shooter video games, and soaking up all of the great cop TV shows that the 90s had to offer love guns because of these things. Today we'll be discussing our favorite media representations of guns, our least favorite, and, of course, everything in between when it comes to the intersection of our favorite pastimes.

On this episode of Acceptable Accuracy, host Philip teams up with guest hosts Kyle and Brent to unpack their very first run at the Badger Trekker — a match that tested not just their shooting skills but also their sanity (and shoe choices). They talk through the gear that mattered, the gear that didn't, and the lessons learned along the way. Stage by stage, they break down the shooting challenges and the run itself, mixing in stories of sore legs, varying strategies, and the occasional stroke of brilliance. They also highlight why the Badger Trekker deserves credit as one of the best-run matches out there, proving that even when you're exhausted and out of breath, a well-organized match makes any pain downright enjoyable.

Routine vaginal examinations (VEs) are a standard component of intrapartum care, traditionally performed at regular intervals to monitor cervical dilation, effacement, and fetal station, which are indicators of labor progression. Yet, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that there is insufficient evidence to recommend a specific frequency for cervical examinations during labor, and examinations should be performed as clinically indicated. Now, a recently published RCT form AJOG MFM is adding additional credence to that. Can we space out clinical exams in otherwise “low-risk” laboring women to 8 hours? Listen in for details. 1.
