WellSpan Cancer Institute's innovation, Adopting Machine Learning-Enabled Decision Support to Improve Oncology End-of-Life Outcomes, involved the implementation of the End-of-Life Care Index, a machine learning and cognitive computing model that predicts 12-month mortality risk, into the cancer program's clinical decision support tool. Driven by a desire to address the underutilization of palliative care, Munchel will discuss how this implementation enhanced both the efficiency and effectiveness of WellSpan Cancer Institute's care delivery. Andrew Munchel, MSN, RN, OCN, CPHQ Quality Program Administrator, Oncology Service Line WellSpan Health, WellSpan Cancer Institute York, Pennsylvania “Our innovation looked at how [we could] better predict who is most likely to benefit from [palliative care] conversations, queue them up, and have them at the appropriate times to link those patients to palliative care.” This podcast is part of a special series featuring the 2025 ACCC Innovator Award winners.

Neil explores the value of recognising and embracing our mistakes as opportunities for growth. Drawing from his 26 years of experience in the tutoring and coaching business, Neil emphasises the importance of revisiting old learning materials with a fresh perspective, acknowledging that our understanding evolves over time. He encourages listeners to identify areas in their lives and businesses that may not be working and to view these challenges as chances to learn and improve. By adopting a mindset that welcomes being wrong, Neil suggests that we can discover new approaches and ultimately enhance our effectiveness. T KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace Being Wrong: Recognising that you may be wrong about your beliefs or methods is a crucial step towards personal and professional growth. It allows for the identification of misconceptions and the opportunity to correct them. Continuous Learning: Revisiting old materials and experiences with a fresh perspective can reveal insights that were previously overlooked. This process of continual learning and reevaluation is essential for improvement. Seek Excellence: If you struggle in a particular area, find someone who excels in that field and learn from them. Adopting their beliefs and approaches can lead to significant improvements in your own performance. Change Your Approach: Sticking to ineffective methods can lead to frustration. It's important to recognise when a strategy isn't working and be willing to try new approaches to achieve better results. Reflect on Your Life: Take time to assess different aspects of your life and business. Identifying areas that need improvement can lead to personal growth and better outcomes in your endeavours. BEST MOMENTS "Whenever we find we're wrong about pretty much anything at all, we really should smile and pat ourselves on the back." "Understanding that what you currently believe or understand about the world is just the best you've managed to come up with so far is a more helpful and hopeful interpretation." "If you really suck at something, find someone who's excellent at it. Ask them how they do it." "It's pretty obvious that almost anything else has a better chance of outperforming what you've been doing for years, and that consistently doesn't work." "My suggestion for today is that you look at your life, your business, look at how you live, the way you move through the world."

This week, the Trump administration took the first, long-overdue step to put America on a war-footing.  That's the upshot of a new “National Farm Security Action Plan” explicitly aimed at reducing the very considerable threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party to our food supply, related production operations and farmland across the country.  The Action Plan's roll-out highlighted collaboration between the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Homeland Security and Justice. Their efforts will all be needed to defeat such dangerous Chinese threat vectors as: stealing our intellectual property; acquiring land within striking distance of key military installations; smuggling in crop-destroying pathogens; and operating at least one covert biological warfare lab in this country. A more comprehensive war-footing must now be adopted to protect our people and communities, including by: deporting all Chinese students, soldiers and other potential operatives; rebuilding our military; and not underwriting theirs.  This is Frank Gaffney.

175. Conquering Your Inner Critic This episode delves into the concept of the inner critic, exploring how it manifests in our lives and careers. She discusses the negative self-talk that often accompanies new challenges and the impact of fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing this inner voice and offers strategies for overcoming it, including naming the critic and focusing on the supportive inner coach. The episode concludes with practical exercises to help listeners reframe their thoughts and take action despite their fears. In this episode: The inner critic often appears when trying something new. Fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome can hold you back. Negative self-talk is a key indicator of the inner critic. Naming your inner critic can help manage its influence. The inner coach provides encouragement and support. Perfectionism is a way to avoid criticism. Adopting an imperfect action approach can be liberating. Writing down negative messages can reveal the inner coach. Reframing negative messages into positive ones is crucial. You don't have to face challenges alone; seek support.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Lee Reynolds, public affairs officer for the U.S. Army's Center of Military History, the part of the Army that funds and manages Lewis Army Museum at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) near Tacoma. In this interview from Tuesday, July 8, 2025, Mr. Reynolds confirms that Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll will "any day now" adopt a plan to close Lewis Army Museum and 15 other Army museums. Reynolds responds to questions about the closure, including lack of public process, and the specific criteria that were used in selecting museums for closure. The effort to identify museums for closure or consolidation dates to 2024, Reynolds says, and the closures will save a total of $114 million over the next decade. The total of 16 closures represents about half of the museums funded and operated by the U.S. Army. Reynolds also explains that JBLM officials might choose to create a "heritage center" once the Army museum is shut down.

Adopting lifestyle changes recommended by your doctor after receiving a diagnosis isn't enough. Actively tracking and understanding how those changes impact your condition and symptoms is the second step in making your health miracle. The key points are:It is important to fully adopt the lifestyle changes recommended by your doctor, even if they are difficult, as this is the first step in feeling better.However, simply following the lifestyle changes is not enough - you need to closely track and log your experiences to understand how your condition and symptoms are affected by your daily activities and behaviors.By logging this information, you can identify triggers and behaviors that worsen your symptoms, and take steps to avoid or mitigate them. This allows you to have more good days and feel better more often.Logging your experiences also enables you to have more productive and tailored conversations with your healthcare team, as you can provide them with detailed insights about your unique situation rather than relying on general medical evidence.Actively logging your lifestyle and symptoms is the key to taking control of your condition and becoming a partner in your own care, which is essential for achieving your "health miracle".______________________Connect with David S.

This episode is part of Body Relationship Month — our special July series where we're revisiting some of our most-loved episodes to help you heal your relationship with your body. Many of us struggle to overcome society's message that you need to look a certain way to be valued. Adopting these messages (willingly or not) often creates debilitating battles with how we see our bodies. This negative body relationship can permeate nearly every aspect of life and diminish our entire experience. We end up living day after day with someone (ourselves) we don't accept, love, or appreciate unconditionally. And well… that sucks. But there are steps you can take to embrace your imperfections, accept yourself as-is, and still pursue your health and fitness goals. The result? Peace, freedom, and finally escaping a lifetime sentence in your food and body prison. In this episode — “Embracing Imperfection: How to Love Your Body at Every Stage” — you'll learn:

Neil explores the concept of reality and how our perceptions shape our experiences. He introduces the idea of chaos magic, emphasising that we can manipulate our interpretation of events to create a more positive and beneficial reality for ourselves. Through engaging anecdotes and practical examples, Neil encourages listeners to reframe challenges as opportunities for growth and exploration. He invites them to ask the empowering question, "What's good about this?" when faced with obstacles, highlighting the transformative power of perspective. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reality is Subjective: Our perception of reality can be shaped by how we choose to interpret events and circumstances in our lives. By reframing our thoughts, we can create a more positive and beneficial reality for ourselves. Obstacles as Opportunities: Challenges in business can be viewed either as dead-end threats or as playful searches for solutions. Adopting a positive mindset can motivate us to engage with problems and find constructive outcomes. Ask the Right Questions: When faced with difficulties, asking questions like "What's good about this?" can help shift our perspective and uncover hidden advantages or lessons in challenging situations. Interpretation Matters: The way we interpret events, such as a student quitting lessons or experiencing physical discomfort, can significantly affect our emotional response and overall outlook. Finding the silver lining can lead to personal growth and resilience. Play with Your Reality: Embrace the idea that you can manipulate your perception of reality like plasticine. Experimenting with different interpretations can lead to a more enjoyable and fulfilling life experience. BEST MOMENTS "One of the things I'm very interested in is chaos magic. This is the manipulation of reality in conformity with your own will." "Your ability to apply your own filters and to spin your response to those external factors makes reality much more subjective." "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." "Gaze into the problem. Look lovingly into the eyes of the problem and ask yourself, what's lovely about this?" "Your reality is more subjective than most people think. So why not go and play with it?"

Instead, it can be the opening note to your most authentic chapter yet. In this transformative episode, we explore how major life changes—like empty nesting, career shifts, or personal reinvention—are rooted in who we want to become, not just how we'll do it. Through relatable stories like Lisa, who questioned if binge-watching Netflix was her new purpose, and John, who believed he was “too old to start over,” we see how the stories we tell ourselves shape our experiences during these shifts.What makes this approach different? It's all about doing the inner work first. Before rushing into activities or projects, we examine the beliefs, fears, and identities that might be keeping us stuck. Guided by Carol Dweck's research on mindset, we learn to shift from a fixed mindset (“I'm only a parent”) to a growth mindset (“Who can I become now?”).You'll get practical prompts to uncover limiting beliefs, embrace vulnerability as your strength, and celebrate small wins that propel you forward. Rediscover passions you shelved, and open the door to unexpected joy and purpose.Remember George Eliot's words: "It's never too late to be what you might have been."

What does being wealthy truly look like? We imagine having big fancy houses, exotic vacations, and high status jobs. But what if I told you that most millionaires, even decamillionaires today, might not look quite like the famous person on your tv or phone screen, but more like your average Joe, living in a house down the street? That scenario is more than norm than you may realize, and that's good news for everyone.   Links: The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D.

A local NH business offering commercial cleaning and property maintenance trusted for its exceptional service. Visit neroyal.com to learn more and show us a little love by mentioning this podcast when you reach out!  Now back to today's tip.  Reading books is a powerful way to shift your mindset about money and finance, along with gaining practical techniques to achieve your desired financial life. One notable book is The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko. First published in 1996, the book delves into the habits of the wealthy, challenging many common misconceptions about wealth.  The authors break down key concepts that question the stereotypical views of wealthy individuals. For instance, wealth isn't always visible, and attaining it isn't solely dependent on income or profession; anyone can adopt wealth-building practices. This idea is fundamental, as many believe wealth is an exclusive domain, locked away by a hidden secret known only to a select few. However, the book demonstrates that with intentionality, focus, and cultivated habits, anyone can build wealth.  Stanley and Danko conducted thorough research across various demographics to uncover what distinguishes wealthy individuals from those who are not. The findings are often surprising. The common belief that a high salary guarantees wealth is swiftly debunked; while income does play a role, how individuals manage their finances holds greater significance.   Another revelation from the book is that appearances can be misleading. A person flaunting a large house, designer clothes, or a luxury car may not be financially secure. The pressure to project an image of wealth often incurs hidden costs. The authors shared, "many people tell us that you can judge a book by its cover, meaning that high-grade doctors, lawyers, accountants, and so on are expected to live in expensive homes. They also are expected to dress and drive in a style congruent with their ability to perform their professional duties."   Interestingly, surveys discussed in the book indicated that many millionaires do not prioritize purchasing luxury items. They tend to be frugal, preferring utility over showmanship when it comes to their spending habits. For instance, their survey results showed that the average American millionaire never spent more than $399 on a suit, with a quarter spending $285 or less. Additionally, about half never spent more than $140 on shoes, and many did not exceed $235 on a wristwatch. Remember that the surveys were conducted in the 90s, so the actual dollar amounts may have shifted a little bit since then.   The authors highlight a critical distinction between high wealth accumulation and the ostentatious display of wealth. They state, "...some people judge others by their choice in foods, beverages, suits, watches, motor vehicles, and such. To them, superior people have excellent tastes in consumer goods. But it is easier to purchase products that denote superiority than to be superior in economic achievement."   Such insights highlight the significant role of frugality in wealth accumulation, which is often overlooked. The authors state, "Being frugal is the cornerstone of wealth-building. Yet far too often, the big spenders are promoted and sensationalized by the popular press. We are constantly barraged with media hype about so-called millionaire athletes, for example."  The book encourages readers to realize they have more control over their financial destinies than they might think. Adopting millionaire habits can be achievable for anyone. For example, individuals can adjust their consumption patterns to reduce spending and enhance savings. Moreover, selecting a career with a clearer understanding of associated costs and responsibilities—be it pursuing a doctorate or starting a business—can maximize financial outcomes.  Encouraging a 'pay yourself first' mentality in personal and family finances is another valuable takeaway. This mindset helps prioritize saving over unnecessary spending, providing a sense of security and control over one's financial future.  If you're considering reading the book, there are a few points to keep in mind. The wealth of data and statistics presented may come across as dry if you're not inclined toward research-driven narratives. Furthermore, since the book was initially written in 1996, some of the information may now seem outdated. My copy was republished in 2010, but monetary values and occupational statistics have undoubtedly evolved since then. A dollar in 1996, for instance, had greater purchasing power than it does today, which can affect how some financial principles are perceived.  Overall, The Millionaire Next Door offers valuable insights into the habits and mindsets that contribute to wealth accumulation. By debunking common myths and encouraging practical financial habits, it provides a more accessible view of how anyone can work toward financial success, equipping readers with actionable steps to improve their economic situation.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

In this episode, we talk about: • The realities adoptive families face behind closed doors • How trauma impacts connection and what we can do about it • Why adoptive moms often feel unseen, and how to change that • How April is equipping families and organizations across South Carolina • And how faith plays a vital role in every part of this healing journey Whether you're new to adoption or knee-deep in the hard parts, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible and you don't have to do this alone. ☕ Now, grab your cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's dig in! XO, Christine Marie

In this episode of What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting, I'm sitting down with my friend Rebecca Del Pozo- an adoptee, an adoptive mom, and a fierce advocate for families who've walked this road from every angle. This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and deeply encouraging. Rebecca doesn't just talk about adoption- she's lived it in every form. From the unexpected twists and tender moments to the hard decisions and holy perspective shifts, she shares how the Lord has used adoption to shape her family, her faith, and her purpose. If you've ever wrestled with the "why" behind your story, or wondered if you're the right person for the calling in front of you, Rebecca's story will meet you right where you are- and lift your eyes higher. ☕ Now, grab your cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's dig in!

Teachhoops.com⁠ ⁠WintheSeason.com⁠ ⁠Dr Dish Website⁠ ⁠CoachingYouthHoops.com⁠ ⁠https://forms.gle/kQ8zyxgfqwUA3ChU7⁠ ⁠Coach Collins Coaching Store⁠ Deterioration of Fundamentals: The decline of fundamental basketball skills is a significant issue in modern coaching. We often find that junior college coaches spend a considerable amount of time teaching basic defensive strategies that players should have already mastered. This lack of fundamentals is partly due to a shift in the focus of coaching. The game has become more about individual performance and less about team play. This is evident in the prevalent one-on-one style of play and the prioritization of money and fame over skill development. Challenges in Rural Areas: Coaching in rural areas presents unique challenges, such as smaller schools and less interest in basketball. For example, a team might start the season with ten players but end with only four due to various reasons, including lack of interest. Travel is another major challenge. Teams often have to travel long distances for games, which can be exhausting and time-consuming. This limits the opportunities for competition and development compared to urban areas, where local competition is more accessible. The European Model: One proposed solution to improve fundamentals is adopting the European model of youth basketball, where players practice more and play fewer games. In the U.S., the focus is often on playing multiple games with minimal practice, which hampers skill development. Shifting to a model where practice is prioritized could help players develop better fundamental skills. Impact of AAU and Summer Ball: The growth of AAU basketball has contributed to the decline of fundamentals. Unlike 20 years ago, when there was one AAU team per area, now there are numerous teams, many of which are not of high quality. This saturation dilutes the talent pool and creates a pay-to-play environment, where the focus is more on financial gain than skill development. This has led to a situation where many players are not prepared for higher levels of competition. Efforts to Improve Fundamentals: Despite these challenges, efforts are being made to improve the situation. For example, in Mississippi, a junior NBA league has been established with a focus on fundamental skills. Players are required to attend clinics to be eligible to play, ensuring they receive proper training. This model emphasizes practice and skill development over simply playing games. The Role of USA Basketball: USA Basketball is also trying to address the issue by promoting fundamental skills, but it faces an uphill battle against the commercialized aspects of youth basketball. The emphasis on individual performance and exposure over team play and skill development continues to be a significant barrier. Conclusion: The decline of fundamental basketball skills is a multifaceted issue that requires a collective effort to address. Coaches, parents, and basketball organizations need to prioritize skill development and team play over individual performance and financial gain. Adopting models that emphasize practice and skill development, like the European model, can help. Additionally, initiatives like junior NBA leagues can provide structured environments for players to develop their skills. Without these efforts, the foundation of basketball will continue to erode, affecting the future of the sport. Thank you for listening to this episode of High School Hoops.

This episode explores why maintenance tasks, despite their fundamental importance, are often neglected or deprioritised in our daily lives and professional work. It delves into the psychological biases that make consistent maintenance challenging, such as hyperbolic discounting, where immediate gratification is valued over future gains, and the construal level theory, which highlights how psychological distance makes preventative work less impactful. The concept of the "maintenance paradox" is introduced, explaining that when maintenance is done well, its benefits go unnoticed, diminishing the sense of reward. The episode encourages listeners to adopt a maintenance mindset, making these tasks a standard habit rather than relying on typical prioritisation structures, as they are crucial for enhancing the quality of overall experiences and preventing future, more urgent problems.People tend to discount future gains or devalue them relative to immediate gratification, a concept known as hyperbolic discounting. This means a dollar now is generally more appealing than a dollar tomorrow, or even two dollars tomorrow.Many important tasks, whether changing guitar strings, making your bed, clearing email backlogs, or improving a development environment (often termed "tech debt" in a professional context), are easily put off because they seem like low priority in the moment.The "maintenance paradox" illustrates that when maintenance is performed correctly, its positive effects are often invisible because it prevents negative outcomes that are never experienced. This lack of visible benefit means there's no immediate "dopamine rush" or gratification from consistent maintenance.Construal level theory explains why maintenance is difficult by highlighting different forms of psychological distance.Temporal distance relates to the future value of maintenance being less immediate.Spatial distance suggests tasks further away (e.g., in an attic) are more likely to be in disrepair.Social distance refers to maintenance affecting others more than oneself, reducing direct personal impact.Hypothetical distance is particularly relevant for maintenance, as preventing a problem means never experiencing the potential downside, making the value of the preventative work hard to assess or feel. This contrasts with reactive work, where real losses are visible, making it seem more urgent and higher priority.A "bad cycle" can be created by the dopamine rush experienced when allowing things to pile up and then finally cleaning or fixing them, which inadvertently trains individuals that it's acceptable to delay maintenance. The marginal benefit of immediate action doesn't provide enough immediate gratification compared to the larger reward of eventual relief.To counteract these biases, maintenance must become a standard practice or habit. Adopting a "maintenance mindset" means understanding that these tasks enhance the quality of other experiences, such as making a bed to create a calm environment or applying sunscreen to prevent future pain.Maintenance tasks often fall into the "important but not urgent" quadrant of the Eisenhower matrix, but they only become urgent when the disrepair is overwhelming, like guitar strings breaking on stage. It is vital to integrate these behaviours into daily routines rather than relying solely on typical prioritisation structures.The podcast itself can be seen as a form of "maintenance behaviour" for one's career and professional life.

In the next installment of the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to take a hard look at spending within the Department of Veterans Affairs—and what reforms are needed to better serve those who served us. Mosteller breaks down how the VA's budget has quadrupled since 2004 even though the veteran population has declined by 30%. From bloated staffing levels to $4 million contracts for services that now cost just $5,000, this episode exposes how wasteful spending is draining resources from veterans and taxpayers alike. The conversation also focuses on one reform with huge potential impact: site-neutral payments. Right now, hospitals owned by large systems can charge the federal government far more than local, independent clinics for providing the exact same services to veterans. This creates perverse incentives, drives up costs, and limits care options. Adopting site-neutral payments would save taxpayers an estimated $14 billion—and give veterans more access to timely, local care. Mosteller also exposes how top VA officials actively discourage use of the Community Care Program, forcing veterans to wait months or drive hours for treatment—while simultaneously helping process healthcare claims for unauthorized migrants. This episode makes one thing clear: reforming the VA isn't about spending less on veterans—it's about spending smarter so veterans get the care they've earned.
