Indecisiveness is often considered a defining characteristic of immaturity. On the other hand, individuals with maturity and strong character demonstrate the ability to make precise, well-considered decisions guided by knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Many adults today, especially those in some form of leadership positions, often face significant challenges when required to make decisive choices they can support because they've thought through them. This difficulty frequently stems from an underdeveloped capacity for decision-making, as the mental faculties that aid this process were not sufficiently cultivated. Moving into the future clouded by disruptions and uncertainties will require men and women who have the knowledge and character fortitude to make swift, precise decision that are well calculated in bringing the right advancement initiatives to bear. As you might have noticed that decision-making is not an innate gift bestowed upon us; it is a learned, trained act, a critical value meant to be cultivated and refined through our developmental years as children and refined into adulthood. Like a muscle, the ability to make sound, resolute choices must be built and ingrained through childhood training and experiences, guidance, and intentional practice. By the time we reach maturity, we are expected to have understood the rudiments of crafting high-quality decisions that align with our visionary purposes, values, and objectives. Yet, many adults today find themselves paralyzed by indecision or prone to impulsive choices they cannot sustain. This struggle often stems from a failure to develop the “mind muscle” required for effective decision-making—a skill that was either neglected in their formative years or undermined by fear, insecurity, or lack of discipline.The consequences of this gap are profound. As the Bible warns in James 1:8, “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways,” unable to receive from the Lord or, by extension, from life itself. A double-minded approach, marked by wavering or hasty choices creates instability in relationships, careers, and personal growth. Advancing into uncharted waters and the uncertainties of tomorrow's future would require a quality of leadership behavioral character with the ability and fortitude to make well-calculated decisions that drive families and communities towards their prophetic assignments and initiatives. Without this foundation, individuals and communities would remain crippled and trapped in cycles of indecision or premature choices that could further hinder the potentials the well-being of those around them.

Join us for a deep dive into the supplement world with Kelin Marquet, chemical engineer turned wellness entrepreneur and founder of Why Not Natural. In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav uncovers how Kelin's science-first approach is challenging the noise and misinformation that often surround nutritional supplements.Kelin shares her unlikely journey—from working on North Sea oil rigs to creating a supplement brand built on integrity.

Governments are increasingly turning to digital technologies such as GPS ankle monitors and tracking apps as so-called “alternatives to detention.” But a new report from UNSW Sydney's Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, the International Detention Coalition and the Refugee Law Lab shows these tools too often replicate detention in digital form, restricting liberty, undermining dignity and causing real harm for people on the move. This is a recording from a launch event held on 16 September 2025, to present the findings of a global study and introduce 10 Guiding Principles for ensuring technology reduces, rather than expands, detention. Listen to explore how governments, civil society and technologists can move towards genuine rights-based alternatives that promote freedom, dignity and community integration. With thanks to the Global Migration Centre at the Graduate Institute of Geneva for kindly hosting this event, and to Robert Bosch Stiftung for its generous support for this project.

Sermon By Jesse Cupp

In this electrifying message, Bishop Michael Pitts declares that resistance is proof you're advancing. Drawing from the life of Elijah, he reveals how opposition signals progress, how God provides in famine, and how we must never walk alone in the battle. From the showdown on Mount Carmel to the still small voice on Mount Horeb, this word will stir courage, confront spiritual climates, and release the fire of God over your life. Expect prophetic impartation, renewed strength, and a mandate for expansion.

This episode features Dr. Jaideep Banerjee, Director of Global Clinical & Medical Affairs at Smith+Nephew, discussing the challenges of chronic wound care, the importance of standardized evidence-based practices, and insights from his recent large-scale study on enzymatic debridement. Dr. Banerjee shares strategies for improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and building a strong foundation for long-term healing.This episode is sponsored by Smith+Nephew.Important Safety InformationIndication: Collagenase SANTYL Ointment (“SANTYL”) is indicated for debriding chronic dermal ulcers and severely burned areas. Contraindications: SANTYL is contraindicated in patients who have shown local or systemic hypersensitivity to collagenase. Warnings and Precautions: The optimal pH range of collagenase is 6 to 8. Higher or lower pH conditions will decrease the enzyme's activity and appropriate precautions should be taken. The enzymatic activity is also adversely affected by certain detergents, and heavy metal ions such as mercury and silver which are used in some antiseptics. As such, the wound should be properly cleansed prior to application of SANTYL. Debilitated patients should be closely monitored for systemic bacterial infections because of the theoretical possibility that debriding enzymes may increase the risk of bacteremia. A slight transient erythema has been noted occasionally in the surrounding tissue, particularly when SANTYL was not confined to the wound. SANTYL is not indicated for wound closure. Discontinue use of SANTYL after granulation tissue is well-established. Adverse Reactions: No allergic sensitivity or toxic reactions have been noted in clinical use when used as directed. The risk information provided herein is not comprehensive. To see the complete Prescribing Information, please see the FDA-approved product labeling, here: https://www.santyl.com/pdf/SANTYL-PI.pdf. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit MedWatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

In this episode, we're joined once again by Christopher Nuland, technical marketing manager at Red Hat, whose globe-trotting schedule rivals the complexity of a Kubernetes deployment. Christopher sits down with hosts Bailey and Frank La Vigne to explore the frontier of artificial intelligence—from simulating reality and continuous learning models to debates around whether we really need humanoid robots to achieve superintelligence, or if a convincingly detailed simulation (think Grand Theft Auto, but for AI) might get us there first.Christopher takes us on a whirlwind tour of Google DeepMind's pioneering alpha projects, the latest buzz around simulating experiences for AI, and the metaphysical rabbit hole of iRobot and simulation theory. We dive into why the next big advancement in AI might not come from making models bigger, but from making them better at simulating the world around them. Along the way, we tackle timely topics in AI governance, security, and the ethics of continuous learning, with plenty of detours through pop culture, finance, and grassroots tech conferences.If you're curious about where the bleeding edge of AI meets science fiction, and how simulation could redefine the race for superintelligence, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Maureen A. Madden, DNP, RN, CPNC-AC, CCRN, FCCM, welcomes Christopher D. Newman, MBA, PA-C, FCCM, of Children's Hospital Colorado, and Victoria Howard, PA-C, of the University of Rochester to discuss professional advancement tracks for advanced practice providers (APPs). APP professional advancement programs aim to improve retention and engagement. Mr. Newman and Ms. Howard highlight additional benefits as well. They explain how the pilot professional advancement tracks at their institutions address specific needs of APPs. Mr. Newman's program addresses the challenge of recognizing and supporting the nonclinical contributions of predominantly clinical faculty such as APPs. Ms. Howard's program recognizes APPs' careers beginning at an early stage and incorporates salary advancement into the program. The guests discuss the practical challenges of implementing a professional advancement model, including finding financial resources, obtaining institutional buy-in, and making the recognition relevant and meaningful to APPs' work. Both guests emphasize that professional advancement programs should motivate and engage APPs over the course of their careers and encourage more appreciation for their work. The conversation will motivate listeners to explore similar career development programs at their own institutions.

Coastal Santa Barbara is considered one of the most idyllic locations on the North American West Coast, but its beauty is frequently disrupted by fast-spreading, wind-driven wildfires. The east-west oriented Santa Ynez Mountains (SYM), rising abruptly over 1,000 meters from the coastal plain, create a distinct climatic environment by separating the cool, stable air over the Pacific from the much drier atmosphere of the Santa Ynez Valley. This topography leads to unique regional wind patterns, including the Sundowner winds, which occur along the southern slopes of the SYM. Leila Carvalho, Professor of Geography and a researcher at the Earth Research Institute at UC Santa Barbara, studies regional and large-scale climate variability and change, including monsoon dynamics, tropical-extratropical interactions, extreme precipitation and temperature events, mountain weather and climate, and regional modeling.

By David Stephen who looks at Human Intelligence in this article. How does learning new things, regularly, become easier? What is the mix for mastery - or its variations - to boost problem-solving, creativity, innovation and understanding? Why are adequate facilities and instructors no guarantees for universal education? What are the limits of human intelligence that AI tutors of present-day may not change? There is a new [September 12, 2025] story by The Associated Press, Google's top AI scientist says 'learning how to learn' will be next generation's most needed skill, stating that, "One thing we'll know for sure is you're going to have to continually learn … throughout your career." AI Tutor Learning new and unfamiliar things, for humans, is generally tough. Why? Probably because of how human intelligence [or its source] works. Even the best explanations, from the best instructors, with the best examples, facilities, practical and so forth, are not equal to the emergence of expertise, in the same instance. Those may also not be followed by creativity, problem-solving, innovation, understanding or even the ability to later recall. This means that the challenges of learning are beyond another new facility, when [the way] human intelligence [works] remains unknown. Even if the pace of learning - or other aspects of it - does not change, if there is, at least, a probable chart on how human intelligence works, it could lead to learning designs, for what to optimize, for certain outcomes. How does an individual learn if the focus is problem-solving? Would it be different if the focus is to be certified? How might that contrast learning for creativity, innovation or understanding? How should human intelligence pivot now, with AI, having the capacity to do many of what human intelligence can do? How should learning be sculpted, not only for some outcomes, but to outcompete [if that's even possible] AI? Sketching Human Intelligence What are the components of human intelligence in the brain? How do they interact and relay for outcomes like problem-solving, creativity, innovation and understanding? What activities are likelier to result in those, and how much time is necessary? First, it is postulated that electrical and chemical signals are the configurators of intelligence, in the human brain. This postulation is derived from empirical neuroscience, establishing that all functions of the brain [for human experiences], are mechanized by neurons - with their electrical and chemical signals. Neurons, according to neuroscience, are also in clusters. Secondly, it is postulated that electrical and chemical signals interact, in sets, to result in functions. Sets of signals are proposed to be available in clusters of neurons. There are also states that signals are, that determine the extents of interactions. There are specifications for interactions - and attributes - for intelligence. This is where progress is, to have it displayed, and used to prospect pathways for prioritized learning outcomes. Advancing education in the AI era There is a new [September 12, 2025] report by CBC, N.L.'s 10-year education action plan cites sources that don't exist, stating that, "A major report on modernizing the education system in Newfoundland and Labrador is peppered with fake sources some educators say were likely fabricated by generative artificial intelligence (AI). Released last month, the Education Accord NL final report, a 10-year roadmap for improving the province's public schools and post-secondary institutions, includes at least 15 citations for non-existent journal articles and documents. In one case, the report references a 2008 movie from the National Film Board called Schoolyard Games. The film doesn't exist, according to a spokesperson for the board. But the exact citation used in the report can be found in a University of Victoria style guide - a document that clearly lists fake references designed as templates for researchers writing a...

How can genetic insights change the way we treat cancer?In this episode of the PQI Podcast, Dr. Soni Tuteja, Director of Pharmacogenomics at Penn Medicine, shares how her team put pharmacogenomic testing into practice — and the impact it's had on patients. She highlights findings from her Journal of Clinical Oncology article on DPYD and UGT1A1 testing in GI cancers, showing how pre-treatment testing helped reduce toxicities, guide dose adjustments, and support safer therapy.Listeners will also hear about:Practical strategies to expand and sustain pharmacogenetic testing in real-world settingsHow pharmacists can lead patient counseling and program implementationThe role of NCODA's Positive Quality Interventions (PQIs), like DPYD testing before fluoropyrimidine treatment, in helping teams deliver safer, more personalized care

In this episode, Edward explains the evolution of modern neurosurgery and its dramatic reduction in collateral damage, the experience of awake brain surgery, real-time mapping to protect critical functions, and the split-second decisions surgeons make. He also discusses breakthroughs in brain-computer interfaces and functional electrical stimulation systems, strategies for improving outcomes in glioblastoma, and his vision for slimmer, safer implants that could turn devastating conditions like ALS, spinal cord injury, and aggressive brain tumors into more manageable chronic illnesses. We discuss: The evolution of neurosurgery and the shift toward minimally invasive techniques [2:30]; Glioblastomas: biology, current treatments, and emerging strategies to overcome its challenges [10:45]; How brain mapping has advanced from preserving function during surgery to revealing how neurons encode language and cognition [16:30]; How awake brain surgery is performed [22:00]; How brain redundancy and plasticity allow some regions to be safely resected, the role of the corpus callosum in epilepsy surgery, and the clinical and philosophical implications of disconnecting the hemispheres [26:15]; How neural engineering may restore lost functions in neurodegenerative disease, how thought mapping varies across individuals, and how sensory decline contributes to cognitive aging [39:15]; Brain–computer interfaces explained: EEG vs. ECoG vs. single-cell electrodes and their trade-offs [48:30]; Edward's clinical trial using ECoG to restore speech to a stroke patient [1:01:00]; How a stroke patient regained speech through brain–computer interfaces: training, AI decoding, and the path to scalable technology [1:10:45]; Using brain-computer interfaces to restore breathing, movement, and broader function in ALS patients [1:28:15]; The 2030 outlook for brain–computer interfaces [1:34:00]; The potential of stem cell and cell-based therapies for regenerating lost brain function [1:38:00]; Edward's vision for how neurosurgery and treatments for glioblastoma, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease may evolve by 2040 [1:42:15]; The rare but dangerous risk of vertebral artery dissections from chiropractic neck adjustments and high-velocity movements [1:44:45]; How Harvey Cushing might view modern neurosurgery, and how the field has shifted from damage avoidance to unlocking the brain's functions [1:46:15]; and More.
