In this episode of the AppleVis Podcast, Gaurav returns with Lesson 7 in the ongoing series on mastering Numbers, Apple's free spreadsheet app for Mac.This lesson focuses on organizing data efficiently in Apple Numbers. Unlike Excel's single-grid layout, Numbers offers a more flexible, canvas-like approach where multiple tables can coexist on a single sheet. Gaurav demonstrates how to manage tables for different quarters of budget data, making it easier to structure and access your information.Key Concepts CoveredUnderstanding Tables in NumbersNumbers allows multiple tables per sheet, treating each sheet as a flexible workspaceDistinct from Excel's traditional grid-based formatUsing the Sheet NavigatorAccess the window spots menu with VO + UNavigate through and interact with sheetsRename, duplicate, or delete tables as neededWorking with Multiple TablesAdd multiple tables to a single sheetUse VO and arrow keys to move between themRename each table for clarity and structureManaging Tables EffectivelyCustomize titles and captionsRemove unnecessary rows and columnsOrganize data by period (e.g., Quarter 1, Quarter 2)Advantages of Using Multiple TablesQuickly shift between distinct data setsEnhance visual clarity, especially for sighted usersTranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Gaurav: Okay folks, so in this lesson we are going to discuss about tables. Now tables are different tables you can have on your sheet in Numbers. And what you want to understand is that unlike Microsoft Excel, Numbers doesn't treat each sheet as a massive grid. It instead treats it like a blank canvas where you can have multiple tables. In Excel, it is treated as one massive grid.Gaurav: Now I'll show you what I mean by that and why it's useful to work with various tables on your canvas on a sheet in Numbers. So I'm back on my Numbers table. I'm going to hit VO plus U for umbrella to open the window spots menu.GauravVoiceOver: Sheet navigator tab group.

Did you know that simply tracking your steps each day can double your chances of reaching your weight loss goals? In this episode, I explored how digital tech tools like fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, smart scales, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), streaming fitness apps, and sleep tech can support your weight loss journey. I shared personal experiences using devices like the Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Garmin, emphasizing how they helped me stay accountable and understand my body's needs better. From real-time data on your activity and heart rate to insights on your sleep and glucose levels, these tools offer valuable support—but they're not without downsides, such as cost, data accuracy, and the risk of obsession. Ultimately, I encouraged picking one or two tools based on your biggest challenges and reminded my listeners that while tech can help, real progress still depends on showing up and staying consistent. Tune in to discover which digital tools can supercharge your weight loss journey and help you stay on track effortlessly! Episode Highlights: Benefits and drawbacks of fitness trackers How heart rate monitors help optimize fat burn and endurance training Insights from smart scales on body composition beyond weight Role of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in personalized nutrition Advantages and limitations of streaming fitness apps Impact of sleep tech on metabolism and weight loss Integration of digital tools through platforms like Apple Health and MyFitnessPal Tips for choosing the right tech based on your biggest health challenge Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

What Are Bitcoin Bonds vs. Traditional Bonds? A new twist with crypto #wealth #business #freedomSummary:Bitcoin bonds combine fixed returns with the potential for Bitcoin's growth. By tying a portion of our investment to BTC, investors may decrease our reliance on fiat money. These bonds are experimental, providing potential upside but also increased risk. While traditional bonds provide stability, they do not protect against inflation.At the end of today's talk, we will cover our bonus question: What Are Benefits Of The Economic Booms? The basics of investing should be learned right now.What are Bitcoin Bonds? Although a Bitcoin bond is similar to a conventional bond, there is a twist. We may still lend money in exchange for fixed returns, but now, a portion of our return is dependent on the future performance of Bitcoin.A Bitcoin bond might include a tiny percentage of BTC, such as just 1%, that pays out in Bitcoin when the bond matures, rather than backing the bond entirely with fiat currency like USD. Essentially, it is a hybrid that combines traditional and cryptocurrency elements and can earn interest quickly. To provide some background, the BitBond idea was proposed on Twitter by Brian Estes, CIO of Off the Chain Capital. This is how it operates:A bond with a 0% coupon is issued by the U.S. Treasury, but 1% of its worth is included in Bitcoin and the remaining 99% in USD. If there is considerable demand, the bond will sell for more than its face value. With no debt service, that would provide the government a favorable cash flow. We, the bondholder, receive the Bitcoin kicker along with our principal upon maturity. Ideally, that's how it would operate.What distinguishes Bitcoin bonds from conventional bonds?Bitcoin Bonds are very similar to traditional bonds, with the exception that they include an extra element of BTC mixed with fiat to serve as a kind of collateral intended to counteract inflation and the reduction in dollar purchasing power. This is how it would function: Like in the traditional bond market, our fixed-income investment provides exposure to Bitcoin. We don't rely solely on fiat currency, which depreciates in purchasing power annually. We leverage blockchain transparency rather than the bureaucracy of traditional finance. We take on more risk because Bitcoin's price may fluctuate significantly. Certainly, these things may sound well, but these bonds are not flawless, thus appropriate risk management should be considered. Although a Bitcoin bond has the potential for upside growth, it is a highly unpredictable asset that requires more study, self-control, and a long-term perspective. It truly depends on our individual financial objectives. Staying in the conventional bond market makes more sense if we are playing it safe and simply looking for stability. However, Bitcoin digital bonds give us the chance to accumulate money when fiat currency is continuously devalued. They combine the well-known fixed-income framework with Bitcoin's long-term potential. Holding both is also an option. Maintain conventional bonds for our stability and include Bitcoin bonds as a speculative yet strategic component of our investing portfolio. However, be sure to get expert advice and do our homework on this. Bitcoin bonds have a number of benefits, including: We acquire Bitcoin with a long-term horizon without making an outright purchase. Instead of the typical bond market, we still receive a structured bond product with a maturity date. If there is a lot of demand, governments might sell these bonds for more than their face value, which is beneficial to taxpayers. Advantages of Bitcoin Bonds Blockchain technology provides us with traceability and transparency.Disadvantages of Bitcoin Bonds Bitcoin's extreme volatility may have a negative impact on our overall return.

"It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the wind!" Many a North Dakotan has lamented the state's well-known whirlwinds—and for good reason. North Dakota is relatively flat, with few natural formations to block the wind. So, it's no surprise that the weather has been a topic of interest in newspapers since the region became a state.

Today, Jeff Harty and Drew Hirshfeld talk about the potential impact of the DOGE advisory board on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Their conversation covers how the office is funded and how the USPTO maintains productivity and handles the large backlog of patent applications. They also discuss the impact of the return-to-office executive order and the importance of hiring the best talent as patent examiners, wherever they're based.In this episode, Jeff Harty and Drew Hirshfeld discuss: The impact of the DOGE advisory board on the USPTO.Advantages of having a clear prosecution record in patent cases.How the hiring freeze and the return-to-office executive order affect those at the USPTO.Extensive productivity reports for USPTO examiners.The crossroads facing the USPTO.Key Takeaways: Those with senior roles at the USPTO often have two main goals: to improve the quality of work and to improve pendency—getting results of patent decisions to the applicants faster.If an examiner is clear as to why they are making decisions and an applicant can see what the examiner is doing, it is easier to understand what is happening. When it is not clear, the examiner and applicant can talk past each other, and that is where discrepancies will happen. Allowing for telework and work from home allows the USPTO to recruit top talent from around the country, not just in the immediate area of the office. The USPTO is unique in that it is entirely funded by user fees, not federal tax dollars.“I think that the USPTO's best quality initiative is its telework program, its ability for people to work at home, because you're able to choose people from a pool that's across the country now, as opposed to just in the Alexandria, Virginia, area.” —Drew HirshfeldAbout Drew Hirshfeld: Hirshfeld was a long-tenured employee of the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and was named one of Managing IP's Top 50 Most Influential People in IP in 2021 (Managing IP is part of the Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC group). Hirshfeld began his career at the USPTO as a patent examiner in 1994 and has held a variety of senior management positions. He was named Commissioner for Patents in 2015 and performed the functions and duties of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO from January 2021 to April 2022. Most recently,Hirshfeld served as Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Acting Deputy Director.Hirshfeld now brings his wealth of patent prosecution and litigation experience to Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner. His achievements included leading the USPTO's response to the Supreme Court's 2021 Arthrex decision by implementing a new process for director review of final written decisions from the USPTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board; serving on the USPTO's Precedential Opinion Panel to decide issues of exceptional importance to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board; and overseeing extensive patent prosecution training for patent examiners and members of the public.While performing the functions and duties of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO, Hirshfeld was responsible for more than 13,000 employees and an annual budget of more than $4 billion. He was also responsible for all USPTO functions related to the examination and issuance of all patents. In addition, he championed the USPTO's mentoring program.Outside of work, Hirshfeld and his wife have three daughters. He enjoys woodworking to make things for his family, including an acoustic guitar, kitchen cabinets, and furniture.Connect with Drew Hirshfeld: Website: slwip.com Email: ahirshfeld@slwip.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drew-hirshfeld Connect with Jeff Harty: Website: nyemaster.com/attorney-directory/jeffrey-d-hartyEmail: jharty@nyemaster.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jeff-harty-5a9a1643

Climate change and household financial well-being The increase in climate-related disasters, such as floods, wildfires, and heat waves, has created serious financial burdens on households across the country. Since 1980, the world has seen a fivefold increase in the number of billion-dollar natural disasters. 2018 to 2022 alone saw an estimated $617 billion in damages from climate and weather related events. Beyond the public health and safety concerns, these disasters have hit Americans in the pocketbook. An estimated 13% have reported facing severe economic hardship following such disasters, with this number projected to rise as climate extremes become more frequent. For particularly vulnerable households, high financial costs from disasters can further exacerbate existing inequities. In order to adapt to a changing world of more frequent climate catastrophes, policy makers will need to develop solutions to assist populations in disaster recovery. Solutions to climate-related financial disasterThe impacts of climate-related disasters are numerous. In addition to harming businesses and infrastructure, extreme weather events can lead to worker displacement, job loss, and migration. Catastrophic climate events, known as climate hazards, create financial strain on households from damage done to one's property. Many households may not have the immediate resources or savings needed to repair the damage, leading to long-term displacement and financial instability. Healthcare costs, transportation expenditures, and inability to access proper insurance coverage are other burdens many individuals face following a natural disaster.Low-income communities will face the brunt of climate change impacts. By understanding the historical inequities that have pushed marginalized communities into regions particularly vulnerable to climate change, policy makers can create more equitable outcomes. Many officials are now encouraging increased access to education, “democratized” climate decision making, and new ways to engage and empower people to take a stance in decisions about the climate. The US Department of the Treasury further suggests that households consider utilizing government incentives to adopt climate-resilient property modifications, such as tax credits and rebates for energy-efficient home improvements. Policymakers further plan to support financial well-being by assisting households in financial resiliency efforts with programs through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).Advantages of improving financial stability following a climate disasterInitiatives designed to address vulnerable communities affected by climate disasters can assist in adaptation towards climate extremes. Having access to resources, whether political or social, is key to providing impacted communities with the support they need to adapt to a changing environment. With increased educational awareness and government assistance, households facing financial distress and instability following a climate-related event will have the support they need to recover.Setbacks to achieving financial stability In order for these goals to be realized, policy makers will need to overcome significant challenges. For example, many households across the country face underinsurance, as climate extremes become more common and push insurers to raise rates or pull out of the insurance market altogether. As a result, vulnerable regions may be left without the proper resources to recover. A recent report found that policies for 39 million properties (about a quarter of all homes in the US) are under-priced for the climate risk needed to insure those properties. Without insurance coverage, homeowners are unable to fix damaged property.Furthermore, the most severe effects of climate change disproportionately affect socially vulnerable populations. Less than 60% of single-family homeowners living in areas where mandatory flood insurance is required actually have the necessary insurance. As such, policy makers need to pay more attention to those communities most vulnerable to climate change in order to ensure they have access to the insurance needed to recover from a disaster and achieve financial stability following a climate-related event.Dr. Andrew Rumbach, Senior Fellow in the Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center at the Urban Institute, studies household and community risk to natural hazards and climate change. Dr. Rumbach is involved in the policy implementation and research of numerous federal and state-declared disaster events and is on the forefront of addressing disaster vulnerability and environmental risk.ResourcesNBC: Climate change could impose ‘substantial financial costs' on U.S. household finances, Treasury warnsWorld Bank: Social Dimensions of Climate ChangeUS Treasury: The Impact of Climate Change on American Household FinancesUS Treasury: Fact Sheet: The Impact of Climate Change on American Household FinancesFurther ReadingBBC: Climate change is fuelling the US insurance problemFor a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/including-marginalized-communities-in-policy-decisions/.
Brookfield CEO Bruce Flatt reveals the investment philosophy behind building one of the world's largest alternative asset managers with over a trillion dollars under management. At the core of Brookfield's strategy is a disciplined focus on downside protection that has delivered 19% annualized returns over 30 years. Flatt identifies three major trends driving their investments: digitalization (including AI infrastructure), global energy transition, and reindustrialization as supply chains shift. The conversation explores Brookfield's approach to risk management, their expansion into insurance, and their meritocratic culture. When Shane presses for clarity on Brookfield's complex corporate structure, Flatt provides rare insights into how the organization's design creates both operational flexibility and investment opportunities. What separates Brookfield from competitors? Patient capital: the discipline to wait for extraordinary opportunities and the financial strength to act when others can't. If you want to understand how the smartest capital allocators think and what it takes to build something enduring, this episode is essential listening.
