Last month, Andrew Huang (Conduit) and Uma Roy (Succinct) announced OP Succinct, a groundbreaking collaboration that blends Succinct's SP1 zkVM with Conduit's Rollup-as-a-Service platform. This new zkEVM promises 1-hour finality, breaking away from the traditional 7-day delays seen with optimistic rollups. In this episode, we unpack what makes OP Succinct a game-changer and how it challenges the conventional ZK rollup landscape. Why is this Rust-based zkVM approach so different? Is ZK rollup tech finally ready for prime time? And could fast finality and the end of fraud proofs be the key to solving Ethereum's fragmentation problem? ------

Among the many war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine are large-scale efforts to deport Ukrainian children to Russia. Thousands of children have already been taken to Russian camps and facilities, leading the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for two senior Russian officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, in March 2023. Despite the arrest warrants, the deportations have continued. A new report from the Yale School of Public Health Humanitarian Research Lab identified 314 individual Ukrainian children that Russian officials transferred from Ukraine to Russia for coerced adoption and fostering, acts that likely constitute grave violations of international law. What are the report's key findings? And how might they contribute to efforts toward accountability, including potential new criminal charges against Russian officials? Joining the show to discuss the report are Oona Hathaway and Nathaniel Raymond. Oona is a Professor at Yale Law School and an Executive Editor at Just Security. Nathaniel is the Executive Director of the Humanitarian Research Lab and a Lecturer in the Department of the Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases at the Yale School of Public Health. Show Notes:  Nathaniel Raymond (@nattyray11)Oona A.

A recent Cisco AI Readiness Index reveals a significant gap between the urgency for AI implementation and the actual capabilities of organizations. Despite 98% of surveyed business leaders feeling pressure to deploy AI, only 13% are fully prepared, and a mere 21% have the necessary graphics processing units to handle current and future AI workloads. The receptiveness of boards to AI has also declined, indicating a growing trust and understanding gap that CIOs and IT leaders must address.The episode highlights the concerns of employees regarding AI adoption in the workplace. While 60% of firms claim to use AI tools, many workers report infrequent usage and express worries about data security and job displacement. A survey shows that only 27% of employees receive training on AI tools from their employers, leading to a reliance on self-education. This lack of structured training could hinder the effective integration of AI technologies, emphasizing the need for businesses to invest in comprehensive training programs to build confidence and competence among their workforce.Sobel also addresses the rising energy demands driven by AI, particularly affecting small businesses. Research indicates that electricity bills for small firms in the U.S. could increase by up to 70% due to the surging energy needs of data centers. This trend poses a significant threat to smaller enterprises, which may struggle to absorb these costs. The episode underscores the importance of IT firms positioning themselves as partners to small businesses by offering energy-efficient solutions and cost optimization tools to navigate these challenges.Finally, the episode explores recent advancements in AI technology, including updates from Anthropic and a new startup, Age. Anthropic has enhanced its AI chatbot, allowing users to select different writing styles, while Age focuses on quality assurance and process automation with its new product, Runner H. However, concerns about the reliability of AI tools persist, particularly regarding citation accuracy in OpenAI's ChatGPT. The discussion emphasizes the need for businesses to balance AI adoption with a strong focus on reliability, transparency, and ethical considerations to ensure long-term value and trust in AI technologies.Three things to know today00:00 Businesses Struggle with AI Adoption: Training Gaps, Board Doubts, and Workforce Concerns Persist05:12 AI-Driven Energy Demands Threaten Small Business Survival Amid Rising Electricity Costs07:53 Anthropic and Paris Startup H Expand AI Horizons with New Features and Targeted Models  Supported by:  https://www.coreview.com/msphttps://www.huntress.com/mspradio/   All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

"I think now that we have this knowledge, then we can use our story to help create awareness." - Lori Evans Ermi Read the transcript here: https://app.swellai.com/t/tp_01JDRMT4Z5RGJ6SD35WBFBT4PM EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of Unraveling Adoption, I had the pleasure of welcoming Lori Evans Ermi and her 17-year-old daughter, Kate Ermi, both of whom are adoptees and co-wrote their new book, Adoption Songs. Our conversation delved into the complexities of adoption from their unique perspectives, highlighting the emotional layers that come with their experiences. Lori shared her journey as a domestic adoptee from the baby scoop era, detailing her late discovery of her adoption at the age of eight and the trust issues that arose from that revelation. Despite having loving adoptive parents, she faced challenges in her identity and connection to her biological roots. Kate, on the other hand, has always known she was adopted and has navigated her own path of understanding her heritage, which was further illuminated through DNA testing. We discussed the creation of Adoption Songs, where each chapter is framed as a track, with contributors choosing songs that resonate with their adoption stories. The book aims to provide a broad perspective on adoption, acknowledging both the joys and the inherent losses that come with it. Lori emphasized the importance of music as a healing tool, and Kate shared her lifelong passion for music, which has been a source of comfort for her. Throughout our conversation, we touched on the significance of community and shared experiences among adoptees, as well as the need for more resources and support for young adults in the adoption community. Lori and Kate's commitment to raising awareness and fostering understanding about adoption's complexities is truly inspiring. I encourage listeners to check out their book and visit their website, adoptionsongs.org, for more information and resources. Additionally, I shared details about an upcoming event, Adoption Healing Quest, which will take place in February 2025, aimed at exploring various healing modalities within the adoption community. Thank you for joining us in this important conversation, and I hope you find the insights shared by Lori and Kate as enlightening as I did. ===============

Overview of Genesis 48 1.Jacob's Illness and Joseph's Visit (Verses 1-2): •Joseph learns that his father Jacob is ill and brings his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, to visit him. Jacob strengthens himself upon their arrival, signaling the importance of what is to come. 2.Jacob's Reflection on God's Faithfulness (Verses 3-4): •Jacob recounts God's promises to him in Luz (Bethel), where God confirmed His covenant, promising to make Jacob fruitful and to give the land of Canaan to his descendants as an everlasting possession. This sets the spiritual context for the blessings Jacob is about to give. 3.Adoption of Ephraim and Manasseh (Verses 5-7): •Jacob declares that Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph's sons born in Egypt, will be counted as his own sons, equal to Reuben and Simeon. This act elevates them to the status of tribal patriarchs, ensuring their inheritance within Israel. •Jacob acknowledges the loss of Rachel, Joseph's mother, as a pivotal moment in his life, connecting his personal grief to the continuation of God's promise through Joseph's sons. 4.Blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh (Verses 8-20): •Jacob blesses Joseph's sons, but in a surprising move, he crosses his hands, placing his right hand (symbolizing the greater blessing) on Ephraim, the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh, the older. •Joseph attempts to correct Jacob, but Jacob insists that the younger (Ephraim) will be greater than the older (Manasseh), a recurring biblical theme of God's sovereignty overturning societal norms (e.g., Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau). •Jacob blesses them, saying, “May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh,” establishing a blessing that would become a traditional blessing in Jewish households. 5.Jacob's Final Words to Joseph (Verses 21-22): •Jacob assures Joseph that God will be with him and will bring his descendants back to the land of their fathers. •He gives Joseph an additional portion of inheritance (Shechem), symbolizing Joseph's unique role and favor among Jacob's sons. Themes and Reflections 1.God's Covenant and Faithfulness: •Jacob's blessings to Ephraim and Manasseh are rooted in God's covenantal promises. The adoption of these sons ensures that Joseph, though separated from his brothers in Egypt, remains integrally connected to the covenant. 2.Reversal of Human Expectations: •The younger Ephraim receiving the greater blessing reflects God's pattern of choosing the unlikely or unexpected to fulfill His purposes, emphasizing His sovereignty. 3.Intergenerational Faith: •Jacob's actions demonstrate the importance of passing down faith and blessings to the next generation. He reflects on God's faithfulness in his life and ensures that Joseph's sons are part of the covenantal legacy. 4.Restoration and Redemption: •Joseph, once estranged from his family, is now fully restored. His sons, born in a foreign land, are embraced and blessed as part of God's chosen people. Applications 1.Passing Down Faith: •Like Jacob, we are called to share our faith and recount God's faithfulness to the next generation, ensuring they understand their spiritual heritage. 2.Trust in God's Sovereignty: •The blessing of Ephraim over Manasseh reminds us to trust in God's plans, even when they defy human logic or traditions. 3.Blessing Future Generations: •Jacob's blessings emphasize the power of speaking life, purpose, and identity into the lives of those who come after us. Key Verse •Genesis 48:15-16: “May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day, the Angel who has delivered me from all harm—may he bless these boys. May they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they increase greatly on the earth.” This verse encapsulates Jacob's faith and his desire for God's covenantal blessings to continue through his descendants. Genesis 48 is a powerful chapter that bridges the gap between Jacob's personal journey of faith and the establishment of Israel's tribes. It underscores God's enduring promises and invites believers to reflect on their role in nurturing faith across generations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Transcript:Ca: Barcelona estava plena de núvols foscos i un vent fred recorria els carrers.En: Barcelona was filled with dark clouds, and a cold wind swept through the streets.Ca: L'orfenat estava al vell mig de la ciutat, una antiga edificació de pedra amb passadissos il·luminats tènue i un saló acollidor on les parelles venien amb l'esperança de trobar un fill.En: The orphanage was in the very heart of the city, an old stone building with dimly lit hallways and a cozy living room where couples came with the hope of finding a child.Ca: A dins, Jordi mirava per la finestra.En: Inside, Jordi looked out the window.Ca: Les gotes de pluja relliscaven pel vidre com les seves esperances a punt de desaparèixer.En: The raindrops slipped down the glass like his hopes, about to disappear.Ca: Amb només dotze anys, era el més gran dels nens de l'orfenat, i temia quedar-se sol per sempre.En: At only twelve years old, he was the oldest of the children in the orphanage, and he feared being alone forever.Ca: Aquest matí, una parella, Marta i Carles, havien arribat amb la intenció d'adoptar.En: That morning, a couple, Marta and Carles, had arrived with the intention of adopting.Ca: Però ara, amb la tempesta que amenaçava, tenien dubtes de si era prudent portar un nen al seu llarg viatge cap a casa.En: But now, with the threatening storm, they had doubts whether it was wise to take a child on their long journey home.Ca: Les seves veus ressonaven en el passadís mentre comentaven la situació.En: Their voices echoed in the hallway as they discussed the situation.Ca: Jordi respirà profundament i decidí actuar.En: Jordi took a deep breath and decided to act.Ca: A les mans, estrenyia un petit tros de paper.En: In his hands, he clutched a small piece of paper.Ca: Va sortir de l'habitació i caminà fins al saló principal on es trobaven Marta i Carles.En: He left the room and walked to the main living room where Marta and Carles were.Ca: El cor li bategava ràpid, però sabia que havia de parlar.En: His heart was beating fast, but he knew he had to speak.Ca: "Perdoneu", va dir amb un fil de veu.En: "Excuse me," he said in a small voice.Ca: "Puc parlar amb vosaltres un moment?En: "Can I talk to you for a moment?"Ca: "Marta i Carles li van fer un gest amical, mirant-lo amb curiositat.En: Marta and Carles gave him a friendly nod, looking at him with curiosity.Ca: "A mi m'agrada la tardor", va començar en Jordi, mirant els dos adults.En: "I like autumn," Jordi began, looking at the two adults.Ca: "És una estació de canvis.En: "It's a season of changes.Ca: Les fulles cauen, però després tornen a créixer.En: The leaves fall, but then they grow back."Ca: "Carles somrigué i li preguntà: "I això què significa per a tu?En: Carles smiled and asked him, "And what does that mean to you?"Ca: "Jordi va mirar al terra, recollint les paraules dins seu.En: Jordi looked at the ground, gathering the words within himself.Ca: "Crec.En: "I think...Ca: crec que les famílies també poden canviar.En: I think families can change too.Ca: Jo.En: I...Ca: jo voldria canvi, una nova oportunitat.En: I want change, a new opportunity.Ca: Vull una família.En: I want a family."Ca: "L'honestedat dels seus ulls va tocar el cor de Marta.En: The honesty in his eyes touched Marta's heart.Ca: Sabia que aquell era el moment de la veritat.En: She knew this was the moment of truth.Ca: El vent de fora bufava amb força, però dins el saló, una nova llum brillava.En: The wind outside blew fiercely, but inside the living room, a new light shone.Ca: "Jordi", va dir Carles, "no t'has de preocupar.En: "Jordi," Carles said, "you don't need to worry.Ca: Estem aquí per conèixer-te, i la pluja no canviarà això.En: We're here to get to know you, and the rain won't change that."Ca: "Marta va agafar la mà de Jordi, sentint la calidesa i la valentia d'aquell gest.En: Marta took Jordi's hand, feeling the warmth and courage in that gesture.Ca: "Ens agradaria molt que fossis part de la nostra família.En: "We would love for you to be part of our family."Ca: "El soroll del tro resonà fora, marcant l'instant en què la inseguretat de Jordi es transformava en esperança i alegria.En: The sound of thunder echoed outside, marking the moment when Jordi's uncertainty transformed into hope and joy.Ca: Ell va respirar alleujat, el cor ple de gratitud.En: He breathed a sigh of relief, his heart full of gratitude.Ca: Mentre la tempesta continuava, Marta i Carles van decidir emprendre el seu camí amb Jordi, sabent que l'amor que unia les seves noves vides era més fort que qualsevol tempesta.En: While the storm continued, Marta and Carles decided to begin their journey with Jordi, knowing that the love binding their new lives was stronger than any storm.Ca: Aquell dia de tardor, amb els colors canviants de Barcelona al seu voltant, Jordi va aprendre que obrirse era la clau per trobar el que tant desitjava: una llar.En: That autumn day, with the changing colors of Barcelona around him, Jordi learned that opening up was the key to finding what he so longed for: a home.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Can our kids heal from all the hard things they've experienced? Is there something we can do to help? Join us today to learn about the power of positive childhood experiences with Dr. Robert Sege, the director of the HOPE National Resource Center at Tufts Medical Center. He holds a MD degree from Harvard Medical School and a PhD degree in biology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.In this episode, we cover:What are some of the benefits to kids from having positive childhood experiences?You have identified four building blocks for positive childhood experiences. What are they and give us specific examples of what parents and caregivers can do in each block to promote these experiences? How do these positive childhood experiences differ by age of the child? Can positive childhood experiences mitigate the impact of adverse childhood experiences? How can we help our kids be more resilient?Are all stress and negative experiences in childhood bad for our kids?Are there particular ages where kids are more receptive to the healing impact of positive childhood experiences?Our audience includes foster, adoptive, and kinship parents. While adoptive parents have a lifetime with the kids (and kinship caregivers may also have the same), foster parents are usually a temporary landing place for a child while their parents work on getting them back. How much impact can you have if you only have the child for a few months or a year?Resources:HOPE National Resource Center Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Our culture loves to celebrate adoption stories - and a lot of state governments put millions into promoting it. But adoptees and birth parents are opening up online about "coming out of the fog" - a term for becoming more openly critical of adoption, or facing the grief within their adoption stories. November is National Adoption Month, and Brittany Luse takes a closer look at how adoption functions in our culture by examining the supply side of adoption - the birth parents. She's joined by Gretchen Sisson, the author of Relinquished: the Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood. They dive deep into the stories told about birth parents, and how our culture decides who deserves to be a parent.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
