Building a physician newsletter that scales without stealing your life? It's possible.  In this episode of Bootstrap MD, host Dr. Michael Woo-Ming, builds on last week's newsletter startup advice, sharing proven strategies to reach 1,000 subscribers sustainably. He debunks ineffective tactics like daily social blasts or premature ads, emphasizing simplicity: pick 2-3 channels (LinkedIn, guest spots, content syndication) and show up consistently for 6-12 months.   Dr. Woo-Ming outlines the "three-channel method"   LinkedIn for credibility (2-3 posts/week with clinical-business-CTAs),  guest appearances for trust transfers (50-200 subs per spot),   syndication for compounding reach (repurpose emails to Medium/YouTube).   He covers leverage cascades like welcome sequences, referral prompts, and newsletter swaps to amplify growth 30-40%.   With a 6-month roadmap (setup in months 1-2, momentum in 3-4, doubling down in 5-6), this episode equips doctors to turn email into a business asset, filling webinars, validating courses, and gaining leverage, while maintaining clinical work.  Three Actionable Takeaways:   Master LinkedIn Basics: Post 2-3 times in a week with a clinical observation, business parallel, and CTA structure; pin your newsletter signup in the featured section and spend 15 mins per day commenting meaningfully to build engagement and visibility. Aim for 100-150 subscribers in the first 1-2 months. Book Guest Spots Strategically: Pitch 1-2 podcast, webinar, or medical society appearances quarterly; lead with your lead magnet and end with a signup CTA. Leverage alumni networks for easy yeses, targeting 200-800 subscribers over 6 months from trust transfers. Syndicate Smartly: Write one weekly email as core content, then repurpose to LinkedIn, Medium, YouTube monthly. Add PS referral prompts and track with custom links, expect 40-80 new subscribers per month as old content compounds, scaling passively.

What if addiction isn't a personal failure—but a survival strategy that got stuck on repeat? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, recovery coach Craig Perra offers a gentler, sharper lens on tech addiction and the inner battles many people hide. This episode is for anyone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels fragmented inside—especially if willpower talk has only deepened shame. You'll hear how Internal Family Systems (parts work) reframes craving as protection, why “curiosity over control” can shift everything, and two practical first steps to begin—without trying to fix yourself overnight. About the Guest: Craig Perra is a recovery coach and co-creator of the Mindful Habits System. He shares a lived, values-based approach to change through parts work, mindfulness, and self-leadership. Episode Chapters: 00:06:21 — Why “tech addiction” is the focus 00:07:20 — Addiction as survival: replacing shame with curiosity 00:10:35 — The downside of fighting “a part of you” 00:12:00 — Hitting a crisis point and choosing a new path 00:13:17 — “Benefits of addiction”: numbing, coping, regulating 00:17:30 — Morals, integrity, and building real capacity to change 00:23:01 — Two gentle first steps: tools + talking to the reactive part Key Takeaways: Ask: “What's the benefit this habit is giving me right now?” Treat the reactive part like a younger self: firm, kind, curious. Use 3 questions: What are you trying to accomplish? What job are you doing? What are you afraid would happen if you stopped? Aim for values + capacity: integrity grows when the nervous system can handle change. Reduce “life friction” the way you'd reduce business friction—less stress, more choice.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 5:12. It's easy to get worked up about everything happening "out there." We shake our heads at culture, critique the headlines, and grow frustrated with people who don't follow Jesus—as if their choices should shock us. But before Paul gives direction, he gives clarity: you can't expect the world to live by a standard it never agreed to. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? — 1 Corinthians 5:12 Paul tells the Corinthians to stop policing people who don't claim Christ. Unbelievers behaving like unbelievers is not a crisis. It's expected. What is a crisis is when believers behave like unbelievers and no one says a word. When Christians focus more energy on condemning the outside world than shepherding their own community, everything gets upside down. Jesus didn't police the world—He moved toward it. Paul didn't police the world—he preached to it. The early church didn't police the world—they loved it and reached it. But inside the church? They confronted sin, practiced discipline, and protected one another with humility and truth. They judged behavior not to shame but to restore. That's the difference. Many believers today get trapped in endless cycles of judging outsiders. We complain about politics, cultural decay, Hollywood, the news, and the morality of people who don't even claim to follow Christ. Meanwhile, friends we love are drifting, compromising, and slipping into patterns that are far more dangerous—and we stay silent. We end up policing the wrong people and ignoring the ones God called us to shepherd. The real problem isn't worldly people acting worldly. The real problem is God's people acting worldly and no one having the courage to intervene. Policing outside breeds resentment. Policing inside breeds restoration. So what does it look like to lovingly "police" believers in a biblical way? Ask honest questions instead of assuming everything is fine: "Hey, you seem distant lately. How are you doing spiritually?" Address what you see, not what you hear: "This is something I've noticed myself, and I care too much not to bring it up." Correct gently and clearly: "I'm saying this because it's dangerous for your walk, and I want to help." Refuse to normalize what God condemns: "I can't pretend this is okay. I care about you too much." Aim for restoration, not embarrassment: "I'm with you in this, and I'm not giving up on you." This is policing with a shepherd's heart—firm, honest, and aimed at rescue rather than ridicule. It's the kind of accountability that leads believers back to health and strengthens the whole church. DO THIS: Choose one believer in your life who may be drifting. Pray, reach out, and take a loving step toward honest conversation or gentle correction. ASK THIS: Where have I spent more time judging the world than shepherding believers? Who in my life needs loving accountability right now? What step could lead someone I love toward restoration instead of ruin? PRAY THIS: Father, help me stop policing the world and start loving, correcting, and restoring the believers You've placed around me. Give me wisdom and courage to speak truth with humility and protect the purity of Your church. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Take My Life and Let It Be"

In this episode of the Comparative Agility Podcast, Dee Roda speaks with Ann Marvin, President and CEO of Peacock Hill Consulting, about the AIM Implementation History Assessment (IHA) and how it helps organizations turn past change experiences into a roadmap for success.The AIM Assessment, developed by Don Harrison and powered by IMA Worldwide, analyzes your organization's track record with change initiatives to uncover success patterns, failure triggers, and systemic barriers. Built on over 40 years of AIM research, it helps leaders predict change success, avoid repeating costly mistakes, and replicate proven strategies.Ann and Dee explore why understanding leadership involvement, target readiness, cultural fit, communication, and organizational stress is critical for making change stick. They also discuss the role of leaders and middle managers, intrinsic motivation, and how to prioritize action to drive meaningful transformation.

Voormalig prins Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor werd gisteren gearresteerd, omdat hij staatsgeheimen zou hebben gelekt aan zedendelinquent Jeffrey Epstein toen hij als handelsgezant voor het Verenigd Koninkrijk werkte. Inmiddels heeft de broer van Engelse koning Charles het politiebureau ook weer verlaten, maar het onderzoek wordt voortgezet. Het viel Aimée Kiene, chef van Volkskrant Magazine, vooral op hoeveel hier door de media over geschreven werd. "Het is overal. Dit is een zaak van ongekende omvang." Ze vindt het bijzonder dat de voormalig prins nu écht is gearresteerd. "Het is iemand uit de elite, waar veel macht en geld speelt en die hier op veel manieren onderuit zijn gekomen." Bas van Sluis, onderzoeksjournalist bij Dagblad van het Noorden, kan de vele media-aandacht goed verklaren. "Het koningshuis maakt het mediageniek, maar ook de link met Epstein en het seksschandaal. Hij is ook nog troonopvolger, dat kan Charles hem niet zomaar afpakken. Dat moet bij wet geregeld worden." Aan tafel zitten Aimée Kiene, Bas van Sluis en Spraakmaker Booi Kluiving. Kiki Schippers van het Taalteam sluit het Mediaforum af.

Bonding leave sounds straightforward: an employee has a baby, takes time off, and returns to work. But Sarah Piscatelli and Mary McNally from AIM HR Solutions know that the space between a well-intentioned law and its practical implementation is where almost every employer gets stuck. Not because the law is unclear, but because making it work requires navigating overlapping state and federal regulations, measurement periods that don't align, and scenarios the drafters probably didn't anticipate.In this episode, Pete talks with Sarah and Mary about why bonding leave has become one of the most frequently used and most frequently misunderstood benefits in Massachusetts HR. They explore how 12 weeks of bonding leave can combine with medical leave to reach 26 weeks total, how that coordinates (or doesn't) with FMLA and an older state parental leave law still on the books, and what happens when both parents work for the same company or when an employee wants to take leave intermittently rather than all at once. They discuss why there's no standardization in how doctors approve medical recovery time, why taking a vacation during bonding leave isn't fraud, and why a benefit designed to support families requires HR professionals to operate as project managers just to keep everything compliant.Press play to discover why something that sounds simple becomes intricate the moment you try to implement it—and what it takes to get it right.AIM members can reach the HR Helpline at 800-470-6277 or helpline@aimnet.org for inquiries Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (EST).

Winter doesn't create burnout. It reveals it. In this episode of Medium Lady Talks, Erin explores why so many women quietly admit their exhaustion during the cold months — not because winter breaks them, but because winter strips away the distractions that helped them outrun what they've been carrying all along. Drawing on personal reflection, cultural observation, and insights from All We Want Is Everything by Soraya Chemaly, this episode unpacks: Why women are socialized to absorb emotional fallout and smooth discomfort How invisible emotional labor accumulates quietly across seasons Why reduced light, stimulation, and dopamine in winter make burnout undeniable The seductive pull of despair and doomscrolling Why “collapse” in January isn't the same as rest And how to redistribute your load instead of reinventing yourself This is not an episode about hustling your way out of exhaustion. It's about recognizing when winter is revealing a structural mismatch between what you carry and what you are resourced for — and responding gently but honestly. If you've felt bone tired. Soul tired. Existentially tired. This episode will help you see your burnout not as weakness — but as information. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why winter reduces capacity and exposes overload Emotional labor and the cultural conditioning of women How smoothing and anticipating needs compounds exhaustion The rise of “analog wellness” as nervous system relief The 1% rule for sustainable adjustment Practical ways to drop invisible tasks Why spring doesn't fix structural mismatch — redistribution does A Gentle Invitation Name what you're carrying. Drop one invisible task. Replace one scroll with one analog act. Aim for 1% more steadiness. Winter is not attacking you. It may just be asking you to notice. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who's been quietly holding too much. And as always — you are not weak for feeling this. You are overloaded. And overload can be adjusted.   Connect with Erin: Instagram: @medium.lady Email: mediumladytalks@gmail.com  Explore more book-related content on "Medium Lady Reads."  Instagram: @mediumladyreads Website: www.mediumladycommunity.com 

If you've ever wondered how Oracle Database really works inside AWS, this episode will finally turn the lights on.   Join Senior Principal OCI Instructor Susan Jang as she explains the two database services available (Exadata Database Service and Autonomous Database), how Oracle and AWS share responsibilities behind the scenes, and which essential tasks still land on your plate after deployment.   You'll discover how automation, scaling, and security actually work, and which model best fits your needs, whether you want hands-off simplicity or deeper control.   Oracle Database@AWS Architect Professional: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-databaseaws-architect-professional/155574 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, Anna Hulkower, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   ------------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript:   00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26   Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption with Customer Success Services, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University.  Nikita: Hi everyone! In our last episode, we began the discussion on Oracle Database@AWS. Today, we're diving deeper into the database services that are available in this environment. Susan Jang, our Senior Principal OCI Instructor, joins us once again.  00:56 Lois: Hi Susan! Thanks for being here today. In our last conversation, we compared Oracle Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service. Can you elaborate on the fundamental differences between these two services?     Susan: Now, the primary difference is between the service is really the management model. The Autonomous is fully-managed by Oracle, while the Exadata provides flexibility for you to have the ability to customize your database environment while still having the infrastructure be managed by Oracle.   01:30 Nikita: When it comes to running Oracle Database@AWS, how do Oracle and AWS each chip in? Could you break down what each provider is responsible for in this setup?  Susan: Oracle Database@AWS is a collaboration between Oracle, as well as AWS. It allows the customer to deploy and run Oracle Database services, including the Oracle Autonomous Database and the Oracle Exadata Database Service directly in AWS data centers.   Oracle provides the ability of having the Oracle Exadata Database Service on a dedicated infrastructure. This service delivers full capabilities of Oracle Exadata Database on the Oracle Exadata hardware. It offers high performance and high security for demanding workloads. It has cloud automation, resource scaling, and performance optimization to simplify the management of the service.  Oracle Autonomous Database on the dedicated Exadata infrastructure provides a fully Autonomous Database on this dedicated infrastructure within AWS. It automates the database management tasks, including patching, backups, as well as tuning, and have built-in AI capabilities for developing AI-powered applications and interacting with data using natural language. The Oracle Database@AWS integrates those core database services with various AWS services for a comprehensive unified experience.  AWS provides the ability of having a cloud-based object storage, and that would be the Amazon S3. You also have the ability to have other services, such as the Amazon CloudWatch. It monitors the database metrics, as well as performance. You also have Amazon Bedrock. It provides a development environment for a generative AI application.   And last but not the least, amongst the many other services, you also have the SageMaker. This is a cloud-based platform for development of machine learning models, a wonderful integration with our AI application development needs.  03:54 Lois: How has the work involved in setting up and managing databases changed over time?  Susan: When we take a look at the evolution of how things have changed through the years in our systems, we realize that transfer responsibility has now been migrated more from customer or human interaction to services. As the database technology evolves from the traditional on-premise system to the Exadata engineered system, and finally to the Autonomous Database, certain services previously requiring significant manual intervention has become increasingly automated, as well as optimized.  04:34 Lois: How so?  Susan: When we take a look at the more traditional database environment, it requires manual configuration of hardware, operating system, as well as the software of the database, along with initial database creation. As we evolve into the Exadata environment, the Exadata Database, specifically the Exadata cloud service, simplifies provisioning through web-based wizard, making it faster and easier to deploy the Oracle Database in an optimized hardware.     But when we move it to an Autonomous environment, it automates the entire provisioning process, allowing users to rapidly deploy mission-critical databases without manual intervention, or DBA involvement. So as customers move toward Autonomous Database through Exadata, we have fewer components that the customer needs to manage in the database stack, which gives them more time to focus more on important parts of the business.  With the Exadata Database, it provides a co-management of backup, restore, patches and upgrade, monitoring, and tuning. And it allows the administrator the ability to customize the configuration to meet their very specific business needs. With Autonomous Database, it's now fully automated and it's a greater responsibility is shift toward the service. With Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure, it provides that fine-grained tuning more for Oracle to help you perform that task.  06:15 Nikita: If we narrow it down just to Oracle and AWS for a moment, which parts of the infrastructure or day-to-day ops are handled by each company behind the scenes?  Susan: When we take a look at Oracle Database@AWS, it operates under a shared responsibility model, dividing the service responsibilities between AWS, as well as Oracle, as well as you, the customer.   The AWS has the data center. Remember, this is where everything is running. The Oracle Database@AWS, the Oracle Database infrastructure may be managed by Oracle and run in OCI, but is physically located within the AWS regions, as well as the availability zones and the AWS data centers.  The AWS infrastructure, in this case, is AWS's responsibility to secure the environment, including the physical security of the data center, the network infrastructure, and the foundational services like the compute, the storage, and the networking, all within AWS.  The next thing of who's responsible for the shared responsibility, it's Oracle. And that would be the hardware. We provide the hardware. While the hardware may physically reside in the AWS data center, Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure operational team will be the one managing this infrastructure, including software patching, infrastructure update, and other operations through a connection to OCI. This means Oracle handles the provisioning, as well as the maintenance of any of the underlying Exadata infrastructure hardware.  When we take a look at the next thing that it manages, it is also responsible besides the infrastructure of the Exadata. It is also the ability to manage the hardware, the environment of that hardware through the database control plane. So Oracle manages the administration and the operational for the Oracle Database@AWS service, which resides in OCI. So this includes the capabilities for management, upgrade, and operational features.  08:37 Nikita: And what are the key things that still remain on the customer's plate?   Susan: If you are in an Exadata environment or in an Autonomous environment, it is you, the customer, who is responsible for most of the database administration operation, as well as managing the users and the privileges of the user to access the database. No one knows the database and who should be accessing the data better than you.  You will be responsible for securing the applications, the data of the database, which now allows you to define who has access to it, control the data encryption, and securing the application that interacts with the Oracle Database@AWS.  09:29 Lois: Susan, we've talked about both Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service being available on Oracle Database@AWS, but what's different about how each works in this environment, and why might someone pick one over the other?  Susan: Both databases, even though they run on the same Exadata Cloud Infrastructure, both can be deployed on both public cloud, as well as the customer data center, which is Oracle Cloud@Customer.  The Autonomous Database is a fully managed, completely automated environment. And this provides a capability of having a fully Autonomous Database Service running on a dedicated Oracle Exadata Infrastructure within your AWS data center.  The Exadata is a service that is provided and managed by Oracle and is physically running in the AWS data center, but is designed for mission critical workload and includes RAC environment, Real Application Cluster, offering a high performance availability and full feature capability that is similar to other Exadata environment, such as those running in our customers' data center.  The primary difference is really between the two services. When you take a look at the Exadata, the customer only pays for the compute resources that is used. Autoscaling can be used for a variety or variable resources, the workload, to automatically scale to the compute resources up or down when required.  The Autonomous Database also has automatic optimization for data warehousing, transaction processing, as well as JSON workload. The Exadata service, the customer again, also pays for the compute resources that they allocate. But that's the key thing. The customer can initiate the scaling because it's very specific to the workload that is needed.  So when you take a look at the two database services, one gives the ability to let Oracle fully manage it, including the scaling capability. The other, the Exadata, provides you the capability of having the environment that it's running on the infrastructure be managed by Oracle that adds a database administrator. You may wish to have a little bit more granular control of how you want the database to not only be scaling, but how you wish to customize how the database will be running.  12:10 Nikita: Focusing on Autonomous Database for a moment, what should teams know about how it actually runs within AWS?   Susan: The Autonomous Database on the Oracle Database@AWS brings the power of the Oracle's self-managing, self-securing, and self-repairing database into your AWS environment.  It provides the capability of the database automatically, automates many of the traditional, complex, and time-consuming database management tasks, such as the provisioning of the database, the patching, the backing up, and the scaling, and the performance tuning, reducing the need for any manual intervention by the database administrator.  Running the Autonomous Database in your AWS region enables low latency access for your AWS applications and services that is deployed within AWS, thus improving performance and response time. With the Autonomous Database, it automates many of the traditional things that is now automatically done by Oracle. It also supports integration with various AWS services, such as the ability of the not in addition to AIM, but the cloud formation, the CloudWatch for monitoring and the S3 for the storage.  You can easily migrate existing Exadata workload, including those running on Oracle RAC to AWS with minimum or no change to any of your databases or applications. In addition, there's a really powerful capability and feature of the database is called zero ETL, and that's zero extract, transformation, and load.  It's an integration capability with services like your Amazon Redshift, enabling near real time analytics and machine learning on your transactional database that is stored within the Autonomous Database on in your AWS environment. So with the Autonomous Database, it checks off many of the boxes for automatic capability, securing, tuning, as well as scaling the database.  With the Autonomous Database in the Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure, the Exadata Cloud Infrastructure resource represents the physical system, which can be expanded with storage, as well as compute services, the compute host. This now provides the ability to have an isolated zone for the highest protection from other tenants. The data is stored on a dedicated server only for one customer. That would be you.  14:56 Lois: Could you explain the role of Autonomous VM? What are its primary benefits?  Susan: The virtual machine or as we refer to them as the cluster, includes the grid infrastructure and provides a private network isolation. This provides you the capability of having custom memory, core, and storage allocation.  The Oracle Grid Infrastructure includes the Oracle Clusterware, which manages the cluster, as well as the servers, and ensure that the database can failover to another server in case of any failure.  15:34 Be a part of something big by joining the Oracle University Learning Community!

Susan, what is the Autonomous Container Database?  Susan: With the Autonomous Container Database, and you need that if you're going to create an Autonomous Database, you need to provision that within your Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster. It serves as a container to hold or to house one or more Autonomous Databases.  This allows multiple Autonomous Databases to coexist in the same infrastructure while still being logically separated. And this allows for the separation of databases based on their intended use. Think of a database for production. Think of a database for development. Think of a database for testing. You may have different database versions within the same infrastructure.  This isolation makes it easier for you to be able to meet your SLA, your Service Level Agreement, any long-term backups you may have, very specific encryption key needs to prevent issues from one database impacting another. So, the ability to have everything be isolated and secure is still grouping it in a manner that will meet your business needs.  17:08 Lois: Looking at Exadata Database Service specifically, what are some standout advantages for customers who deploy it on Oracle Database@AWS? Is there anything in particular they should get excited about in terms of performance or integration with AWS?  Susan: The Exadata Database Service is running on a dedicated Exadata Infrastructure that's deployed within your AWS data center. It delivers the same Exadata service experience in cloud control planes as the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, allowing you to leverage existing skills and processing across your multi-cloud environment.  It addresses the data resiliency, or residency rather. And that's the scenario where many of our customers has the need. You have a need because of your security compliance to have the data local to you. By having the Exadata Database in your Oracle Database@AWS, it is running in your data center. So, this addresses that very important need, data residency, to have it close to you.  It also allows for seamless integration with other AWS services and applications. So now you have a capability of a hybrid cloud architecture leveraging the benefit of both Oracle Exadata and your AWS system. It has built-in high availability, the RAC application cluster, as well as Data Guard, a capability of addressing disaster recovery capability.  This also provides the ability for you to scale your compute, as well as your storage and your I/O resources independently. So as mentioned with Exadata, you have flexibility of how you want your database to be running individually. So just like the Autonomous, the Exadata Database checks off many of the boxes for running a mission-critical with high availability, highly redundant hardware and software features, along with extreme performance, scalability, and reliability.  This now allows you to run your AI environment, your online transaction processing, your analytic workload on any scale on the Exadata Infrastructure running in the Oracle Cloud. And in this case, running in your data center.  19:45 Nikita: If a business suddenly needs more capacity, how does scaling work with Exadata Database Service versus Autonomous Database on Oracle Database@AWS?   Susan: So with the Exadata scaling, you now can scale to meet expected demands so you know at certain point I will need more. I will then ask it to scale at that point when I will assign it-- and I'm using an example, I will assign it three computer cores all the time. But there may be demands. Think of your end of the quarter, end of the year processing that you may need more. So, you are enabling the compute cores to scale at the time you need it.  And what's cool is it will then, when it's no longer needed, it will then scale back down to the original three cores that you assign. So, you only pay for the enabled cores. But what's very cool about the Autonomous is that it is real-time scaling. So, with Autonomous, now you have the capability using Autonomous Database since it is self-tuning, self-monitoring, the Autonomous Database actually monitors the workload requirement and scales to match the workload demand.  Once the minimum level of the compute is defined and enabled, the automatic scaling is set. Autonomous Database will adjust to the consumption when it's needed, and it will scale back down when it's not. So though the Exadata is pretty cool, it will scale up and down on the workload demand.  This is with the Autonomous is even more powerful. It is real-time scaling based on that usage at that moment. Built-in automatic increase to meet the workload demands when it spikes and it automatically scales back when it's not needed.  A very powerful capability with all of our Oracle databases, the ability, even with traditional, to allow you to define what you may need with Exadata scaling for peak demands, as well as Autonomous scaling for real-time consumption and scaling when needed.  When you look at all of our options, one of the key things to bear in mind is a phrase that we use: performance scale as more servers are added. And what this is really saying is Oracle's automated scaling ability for the database, it basically has the ability to maintain or improve its performance under increased workload by automatically adding computational resources when needed.  This process is also known as horizontal scaling. It involves adding more servers, compute instances, to a cluster to share the processing load. And it has that capability automatically.  22:53 Nikita: There's so much more we can discuss about Oracle Database@AWS, but let's pause here for today!

We don't pretend the world isn't heavy and terrible right now—we are awake and feeling the weight too.Today we invite listeners into a softer corner of the timeline, where your biggest worry as a US teenager was whether LimeWire would send you an Indonesian release of the Korn song your just downloaded or if your AIM crush would log on before bedtime.

"Never up, never in." It's the most overused cliché in golf, usually chirped by a playing partner right after you leave a 20-footer just inches short. But what if we told you that cliché is actually hurting your game?In this edition of FORE Minute Friday, we dig into the surprising stats behind putting speed. We debunk the aggressive "charge the cup" mentality and introduce the 20% Rule—the statistical reality that if you aren't leaving at least a few putts short, you are likely three-putting way too often.Tune in to learn why dying the ball into the hole is the superior strategy and how to calibrate your speed for stress-free pars.In this episode, we cover:Why hitting it past the hole effectively makes the cup smaller.The danger of the "aggressive" mindset.How to create a tighter dispersion circle for easier tap-ins.The "Safety Zone" concept for speed control.Connect with Imagen Golf:Websisite: www.ImagenGolf.comInstagram: @ImagenGolfTwitter: @ImagenGolfThe "Safety Zone" DrillTo get comfortable with the idea that "short is okay," we need to train your brain to stop fearing the front of the cup. This drill focuses on speed dispersion rather than just "making" the putt.The SetupFind a relatively flat 20-foot putt on the practice green.Place a string or a line of tees 18 inches behind the hole.Grab 10 balls.The Goal: The 8-2 SplitYour mission is to lag all 10 balls into the "Safety Zone"—the area between the front edge of the cup and the string behind it. However, we are going to embrace the 20% rule:The Target: Try to get 8 balls to finish inside the hole or in that 18-inch zone behind it.The "Success" Shorties: Intentionally allow yourself to leave 2 balls just a few inches short.Why This WorksIf you try to make all 10 go past the hole, you'll subconsciously start hitting them harder and harder, eventually blowing them past your 18-inch safety string. By "allowing" yourself to be short on two of them, you take the tension out of your stroke.The result? Your "aggressive" putts will actually stay closer to the hole because you aren't over-compensating to avoid the "never up, never in" shame.Practice TipKeep track of your "Long Misses" vs. "Short Misses." If you miss 5 putts long (past the 18-inch mark) and 0 short, your speed is too aggressive for your own good. Aim for that 80/20 balance.

Gage shares his best practices for attending Natural Products Expo West – the biggest trade show in the United States for the better-for-the-world product industry! Tune in to hear 10 tips for making the most of the show, based on Gage's ~15 years of experience attending Expo West as a brand, packaging, booth, and campaign designer who's helped some of the industry most beloved brands stand out at the show. Tune into the episode or read below for his top tips! You can also download a copy here for easy reference later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing. See you at Expo West!1. Define Your Target ROIHave a clear goal and outcomes in mind because the event is what you make it.Rightsize your investment. There's no shame in starting small, like a shared booth, table at StartUp CPG, sampling out of a backpack, etc. Even big brands need to be cautious of their spending because it adds up fast. But if you want to make a big splash, be willing to spend the money on the right opportunity.Aim to have your agenda 60% planned, but 40% flexible, because you never know who might pop up with some exciting and unexpected.2. Plan AheadBook your accommodations early, because everything near the Convention Center fills up quickly and gets very expensive.Find the sessions you want to attend, people you want to meet, and booths you want to visit through the app and social media posts, but also decide what's non-negotiable and what's optional for you, because you will get exhausted/overwhelmed.Make dinner reservations, book event venues, and meeting rooms in advance because there are a ton of competing groups looking for limited time slots.Order all your materials, swag, outfits, etc., well ahead of time because shipping delays happen, and you don't want to be caught empty-handed or paying the steep price to rush reprint in Anaheim.3. Be Clear & CompellingHave your 5-second pitch and main talking points ready, because there are way too many people and not enough time to stumble or be vague.Bring the energy, passion, and vibes because that attracts people to your booth, lifts everyone's spirits, and makes you memorable.Ask lots of questions to get to know people and how you can help each other. It can reveal incredibly powerful information for you both.4. Crush Your BoothMake sure it's clear what you're selling and what makes it special, otherwise your booth is likely to be missed (unless you're drawing attention, see below).Be unique but authentic, have a compelling story or theme for the show, and be engaging and fun as people walk up.Have events or activities at your booth that attract a crowd, and bring enough samples/goodies to go around. Tip: people are drawn to anything that's more than a tiny bite on a toothpick or a generic tote bag.Have a method for politely exiting conversations, like handing them off to an associate or introducing them to another guest, so you can be available when that critical retailer, investor, broker, or press badge arrives.5. Draw AttentionApply for a Nexty, participate in the Pitch Slam, or partner on an innovation with another popular brand. Do things that will make you more visible.Send out press releases, make announcements on social media, and offer the press a unique and exciting story to draw them to your booth.Invite an industry rockstar or celebrity to your booth for a meet and greet.Host a happy hour with a prominent group, like B Corp.6. Connect With Your CommunityAttend events hosted by your membership communities (B Corp, 1% for the Planet, Regenerative Organic, Upcycled, Non-GMO, Fair Trade, Climate Neutral, Climate Collaborative, Naturally Network, Purpose Pledge, Startup CPG, Project Potluck, :INCLUDED, etc.)Post updates in your preferred social channel (pictures, top finds, great insights, events, selfies, etc), tag people, and comment on others' posts! Wear your affiliations (shirts, hats, pins, stickers, lanyards, badges, etc).7. Take Care of YourselfHydrate and eat real food, or at least snack your way to well-balanced meals or your stomach and energy levels will regret it later.Dress comfortably and in layers. You'll be walking a lot, in and out of buildings, and the weather can change quickly. Bonus: dress memorably.Rest your feet and your back whenever you can. They will be sore.Get full nights of sleep when you can, and take some downtime in between things to recharge your batteries and brain.8. Be Brave, Be ActiveMeet people! That's why you're going. Don't just hide in your hotel, your booth, or in your co-worker/friend group. Get out there.Attend happy hours, events, and dinners even if you worked the booth all day, because that's the time to make real human connections.Go talk to that hero, buyer, investor, press, celebrity, etc because that's why they're here, and why you're here.9. Don't Try to Do it AllThe show is way too big to see every booth. Decide what's most important. It can help to pick a theme to focus, like a category, certification, stage of business, etc.There are too many sessions, events, and happy hours. Pick a focus and try to limit your FOMO. Divide and conquer with your team if you can.If you've been going as long as I have, you'll wish you could spend time with all your friends, collaborators, clients, podcast guests, and more… but it's best to be at peace with what you can do instead of worrying about what you can't.10. Follow Through Take notes on business cards, in an app, or wherever works for you because you won't remember every conversation, idea, or to-do item.Digest what you learned, who you met, and how you want to follow up each evening before that information gets too foggy.Make social posts each day, because you'll be too burned out and busy to catch up on social media after the show.Follow up with people during and after the show to solidify that new connection.Links:Natural Products Expo West: https://www.expowest.com/en/home.html10 Tips to Crush Expo West Download: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing.

Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Liza Leal, your host today for the Meridian Medical Dental Healthcare Podcast, powered by Meridian Health Institute — and I'm also known as your Everyday Health Hacker.Today we're talking about what's really happening to your collagen, muscle, and hormones when you're on GLP-1 medications — and more importantly, what you can do to stay looking healthy, strong, and vibrant while you lose weight. A lot of people using GLP medications experience rapid fat loss. While that's wonderful for metabolic health, many people start noticing changes in their skin. Their face can look more hollow or sallow, skin may feel thinner or less elastic, and they may notice sagging in areas like the jawline, neck, arms, or abdomen. So let's talk about how to prevent that.

Send a textIt's Therapy ThursdayEver feel like you're always “on,” even when nothing is actually wrong? We sit down with former police officer turned intuitive life coach and nervous system specialist Valerie Holden to explore how constant yellow-zone living steals sleep, fuels anxiety, and quietly taxes the body. Valerie shares why calm is a skill, not a mood, and how your presence can de-escalate a room before a single word is said.We dig into the biology behind stress—how adrenaline moves fast but cortisol lingers—and why stacking worries keeps your mind racing long after the meeting or email is over. Valerie lays out micro-practices that fit real life: emotional freedom tapping, simple figure eights around the eyes, and three quiet minutes behind a closed door. She also reframes productivity through intuition and flow. Aim for the outcome, not the exact route, and let your best channel—feeling, images, inner voice, or knowing—guide the next step. The result isn't passivity; it's smarter sequencing that feels lighter and gets more done.The conversation moves from validation and self-trust to compassionate accountability. Sometimes we need perspective; sometimes we need a friend to call our bluff on procrastination. We talk about modern pressure to “keep up,” including AI. Valerie uses tools like ChatGPT to save hours, while reminding us to choose what we actually want, not what the feed celebrates. For those ready for support, she outlines a 90-day framework that blends education, practice, and personalization, with clear boundaries and referrals when medical or therapeutic care is needed.If your body has been carrying your life on fumes, this is a humane reset. You don't need to escape your life to feel better. You need a nervous system that can carry the life you've built. Subscribe, share with a friend who lives in permanent “yellow,” and leave a review with the one tool you'll try this week.Valerie Holden is a former police officer turned intuitive life coach and nervous system wellness specialist. She helps high-achieving, high-pressure professionals reduce stress, regain emotional balance, and feel calm and in control again. Blending practical tools with mind-body techniques, Valerie teaches simple ways to reset the nervous system so success doesn't come at the cost of well-being.Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/ValerieHoldenWellnessInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/valerieholdenwellness/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerieholdenwellness/Website: https://valerieholden.comSupport the showHost Candace PatriceCo-host Janet Halevisit the website at https://www.essentialmotivation.com/visit the store at https://shopessentialmotivation.com/Instagram instagram.com/essentialmotivationllc visit Janet's website https://haleempowermentllc.com/To be a guest on our show email me at candacefleming@essentialmotivation.comIn the subject line put EMH Guest Suicide Prevention Lifeline 988Music by Lukrembo: https://soundcloud.com/lukremboProvided by Knowledge Base: https://bit.ly/2BdvqzN

She loves her parents. She wants to be a good daughter. So why does it feel so heavy? In this powerful conversation, Dr Allison Alford names the invisible emotional labour millions of women are carrying — and why being a “good daughter” shouldn’t cost you your wellbeing. From eldest daughter syndrome to guilt, boundaries, and burnout, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and lighter. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin by family expectations, this one is for you. KEY POINTS What “daughtering” really is — and why naming it changes everything Why guilt is a terrible guide for family caregiving The hidden emotional and mental load daughters carry every day Why boundaries don’t make you selfish — they make you sustainable The freedom of being a “B-plus daughter” instead of burning out QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Being good enough isn’t about doing it all.

Seasonal slowdowns can shake even the most well-run therapy practices—especially group practices navigating payroll, profit, and growth at the same time. This week, I sat down with Stef Iverson and Lucinda Bibbs, business partners and recent graduates of Money Skills for Group Practice Owners, to talk through what it really looks like to manage cash flow during a summer slump while still honoring long-term vision, wellness, and expansion.“I think it's just that the clarity and the reassurance, right? That we're on the right track...knowing the numbers has really helped us make non-emotional decisions. And just having clarity on what's actually on the paper and what are those numbers actually telling us? They're telling us a story and they're holding up a mirror and they're allowing us to make changes and pivots as we, as we need to." - Stefanie IversonStef and Lucinda came into this conversation fresh off their first slower season since implementing Profit First—and instead of panic, they brought curiosity. We talked through how their profit account temporarily buffered operating expenses, what that revealed about their numbers, and how to proactively plan for next summer so slow seasons don't feel scary or reactive.Using Financial Clarity to Stay Grounded During Seasonal Revenue DipsWhat stood out most to me was how empowering it can be to replace “scrambling” with structure. When you know your numbers and intentionally build safety into your business, you give yourself permission to rest, plan, and make thoughtful decisions—even when revenue temporarily dips.(00:03:34) Navigating Profit Slumps & Business Growth Effectively(00:07:12) Savings Buffer Analysis to Prevent Pulling from Profit(00:12:29) Consistent Owner Draws and Keeping Profit Separate(00:16:06) Preparing for Economic Uncertainty and Anticipated Slow Seasons(00:20:58) Balancing Leadership and Growth with Work, Delegation, and Passions(00:26:45) Prioritizing Your Energy and Your Relationships(00:30:54) A Successful Partnership Built on Transparency(00:34:10) Evaluating and Expanding Services Offered(00:38:18) Tree Metaphor for Growth - With a Stable Trunk, Your Branches Can ReachStability First, Then Innovation: Growing Without Undermining the FoundationWe talked through how to experiment with offering new wellness services without neglecting the “main ship” of the group practice—and how to tell the difference between an idea that needs more time versus one that isn't financially aligned right now.Key Takeaways for Therapists Navigating Slow Seasons or Growth Build buffers before you need them. Aim to have 2–3 months of operating expenses in your account so seasonal dips don't trigger panic.Let stability lead. It's okay to temporarily prioritize cash reserves over profit distributions.Test new offerings slowly. Pilot, track results, and adjust before fully committing.Protect the core practice. New ideas are exciting, but the existing business needs consistent care.Communicate clearly with partners. Transparency reduces emotional decision-making and strengthens trust.Slow seasons don't mean you're doing something wrong—they're part of running a real business. With clear numbers, intentional buffers, and honest conversations, you can build a practice that feels both secure and flexible enough to grow in the directions that matter most to you.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

L'histoire de la médecine ancienne est longtemps restée dominée par des figures masculines. Pourtant, une femme se détache comme une pionnière absolue : Mérit-Ptah, souvent présentée comme la première femme médecin connue de l'Histoire. Son existence nous ramène à l'Égypte de l'Ancien Empire, il y a plus de quatre mille ans, à une époque où savoir médical, religion et administration étaient étroitement liés.Les informations sur Mérit-ptah sont rares, mais précieuses. Son nom signifierait « Aimée du dieu Ptah », une divinité associée à la création, à l'artisanat et au savoir. Elle aurait vécu vers 2700 avant notre ère, sous la IVe ou la Ve dynastie. Ce que l'on sait surtout, c'est qu'elle aurait porté le titre remarquable de « médecin en chef », une fonction d'un très haut niveau dans la hiérarchie égyptienne.Dans l'Égypte ancienne, la médecine était déjà étonnamment structurée. Les praticiens possédaient des spécialisations : certains traitaient les yeux, d'autres les dents, d'autres encore les troubles digestifs. Les médecins combinaient observations cliniques, remèdes à base de plantes, gestes chirurgicaux simples et formules rituelles. La maladie était perçue à la fois comme un désordre physique et comme un déséquilibre spirituel.Dans ce contexte, qu'une femme atteigne un rang aussi élevé que celui de Mérit-ptah est exceptionnel. Cela suggère qu'elle bénéficiait d'une formation poussée, probablement dispensée dans les « maisons de vie », sortes d'institutions où l'on copiait des textes, transmettait les savoirs et formait les élites intellectuelles. Elle aurait exercé auprès de la cour royale ou dans un grand centre administratif, prenant en charge des patients de haut rang.Mérit-ptah incarne aussi une réalité souvent méconnue : les femmes pouvaient occuper des postes prestigieux dans l'Égypte ancienne. Elles pouvaient posséder des biens, intenter des procès, diriger des domaines et exercer certaines professions qualifiées. Le cas de Mérit-ptah montre que la médecine n'échappait pas totalement à cette ouverture.Son nom a traversé les millénaires grâce à des inscriptions funéraires mentionnant son statut. Même si certains détails restent débattus parmi les historiens, elle demeure un symbole puissant : celui d'une femme ayant accédé, très tôt dans l'histoire humaine, à un savoir scientifique avancé et reconnu.Mérit-ptah est donc bien plus qu'une curiosité historique. Elle rappelle que les femmes ont participé, dès l'Antiquité, à la construction des sciences et des savoirs. Si son visage s'est perdu dans le sable du temps, son héritage, lui, subsiste : celui d'une pionnière qui a ouvert la voie à des générations de femmes médecins, bien avant que l'Occident ne reconnaisse leur place dans le monde médical.Raconter l'histoire de Mérit-ptah, c'est finalement réécrire une partie de l'histoire des sciences, en y réinscrivant celles qui en ont été trop longtemps effacées.

Belley, été 1940. La France a perdu, mais la guerre continue. Dans le village, les habitants doivent faire face aux privations et aux difficultés d'une vie à l'horizon rétréci : ravitaillement, marché noir, délation, déplacements limités, sort des prisonniers de guerre, STO, recensement et exclusion des populations juive et étrangère font désormais partie du quotidien. Mais bientôt l'administration de Vichy, avec ses relais à la sous-préfecture, laisse la place aux soldats italiens, qui occupent la région pendant quelques mois, avant que les Allemands n'entrent dans le village en septembre 1943. Pierre-Marcel le sous-préfet, Aimé le milicien, Gertrude et David les écrivains juifs, Romans et Plutarque les résistants, et à quelques kilomètres de là les enfants de la colonie d'Izieu, deviennent les acteurs d'une histoire meurtrie.À rebours d'une histoire par le haut et centrée sur Paris et les métropoles françaises, les volumes de cette collection racontent l'histoire de France à travers le quotidien d'un village et de ses habitants, sur plusieurs mois ou années. Plus qu'un portrait de la France rurale à différents âges, chaque volume redonne vie à ces civils qui, à leur échelle, ont été témoins et acteurs de l'histoire, quand l'exceptionnel s'est immiscé dans leur existence. En retraçant minutieusement le destin d'individus et leur attitude face aux événements est ainsi rendu sensible le récit d'une époque.L'auteur, Pierre-Jérôme Bisacarat, est notre invitée en studioHébergé par Audiomeans.

Not surprising but shocking how brazen they are in admitting to what they are doing. In 2025, the Kentucky Legislature passed HB 4, a law that finally took aim at the divisive college DEI programs. It banned:- Providing differential treatment or benefits based on an individual's religion, race, sex, color, or national origin (e.g., in admissions, scholarships, employment, or housing assignments, with very limited exceptions). - Influencing the composition of the student body, scholarship recipients, or similar groups on those bases. - Spending any taxpayer dollars on DEI initiatives, the promotion of "discriminatory topics," or bias incident investigations. - Soliciting statements from applicants about their experiences with or views on religion, race, sex, color, or national origin (no more DEI loyalty tests in applications). - Requiring courses dedicated to "discriminatory concepts" (broadly defined as ideas that justify or promote differential treatment based on those protected categories; it outlaws courses whose primary purpose is to indoctrinate students with such concepts). - Requiring individuals to endorse or condemn specific ideologies or viewpoints. - Disseminating or profiting from materials that promote or justify discriminatory concepts.Specific examples of these practices priorly include the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education tying funding to racial quotas and spending taxpayer money on programs that discriminated against students based on skin color.These practices aren't just racist—they're also unconstitutional. The Kentucky Legislature wisely got ahead of the lawsuits, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled against colleges for these exact discriminatory schemes.In response, universities scattered their DEI departments like roaches in the light—changing job titles, hiding staff in other departments, and pretending nothing changed. But Accuracy in Media (AIM) has done real undercover journalism and exposed that Kentucky universities rank among the worst in the nation for still enforcing these racist DEI policies while openly admitting they know they're breaking the law.Adam Guillette of AIM joined me to discuss his group's explosive recent video from the University of Kentucky. In it, staffers casually reveal they're keeping DEI alive under the radar—defying both state law and common sense. He also teased more undercover investigation videos from Kentucky campuses coming soon.

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:A stealth “ghost” is quietly rewriting the future of airpower—and we pull the curtain back on what it means. The F‑47, centerpiece of the Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance program, isn't just another fighter; it's the quarterback for a family of systems built to outrange, outcompute, and outlast peer adversaries. We break down why Boeing's mature prototype and St. Louis production muscle won the contract, how a tailless, all‑aspect stealth design enables high‑altitude, Mach‑class shots, and why intent‑driven autonomy with collaborative combat aircraft changes the math of modern air combat.We dig into the budget reality: a $4.4 billion surge for NGAD this year, F‑35 orders cut to focus on readiness and TR3 software, and a parallel push to field 1,000 loyal wingmen that extend sensors, carry extra AIM‑260s, jam S‑400s, and soak up enemy missiles as decoys. You'll hear how CCAs transform a single cockpit into a networked strike package, turning the F‑47 into a stealthy node that sees first and shoots farther while staying hidden. Along the way, we revisit recent operational lessons that sharpen the case for leap‑ahead ISR and intent‑based control, where AI executes the task and the pilot manages the fight.We also confront the hard questions. At roughly $300 million per airframe and a projected buy of 185 jets, can exquisite capability offset the risks of boutique numbers in a high‑attrition fight? Are we repeating concurrency mistakes, or finally aligning software, factories, and tactics? And where does the Navy's FAXX land as Congress revives funding but the industrial base strains to build two sixth‑gen fighters at once? By the end, you'll see the stakes of trading traditional mass for algorithmic speed and autonomous mass, and why the Air Force is betting that a few elite pilots leading a smart swarm can hold the line.If this deep dive helped you see the future of air combat more clearly, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your take: mass or algorithms?Support the showTo help support this podcast and become a PilotPhotog ProCast member: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1555784/supportIf you enjoy this episode, subscribe to this podcast, you can find links to most podcast streaming services here: PilotPhotog Podcast (buzzsprout.com) Sign up for the free weekly newsletter Hangar Flyingwith Tog here: https://hangarflyingwithtog.com You can check out my YouTube channel for many videos on fighter planes here: https://youtube.com/c/PilotPhotog If you'd like to support this podcast via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotog And finally, you can follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/pilotphotog

Interview with Darren Bowden, CEO of Metals Exploration PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metals-exploration-lsemtl-nicaragua-build-on-track-dupax-abra-targets-add-long-term-upside-8132Recording date: 4th February 2026Metals Exploration, the AIM-listed gold producer, is executing a strategic transformation that will more than double its annual production to 140,000 ounces by 2027 through its La India project in Nicaragua. CEO Darren Bowden outlined the company's ambitious growth trajectory as construction proceeds ahead of schedule and within its revised budget parameters.The company currently operates the Runruno mine in the Philippines, which is expected to produce approximately 55,000 ounces in 2026 before exhausting its reserves in December. However, cash flow from this operation is fully funding the development of La India without requiring significant equity dilution—a commitment management has emphasized to shareholders.La India represents a substantial upgrade to Metals Exploration's production profile. The project will transition the company from open-pit to underground mining at higher grades and lower costs, with initial production targeting just over 100,000 ounces in 2027, ramping to 140,000 ounces as underground operations commence. The deposit contains 2.4 million ounces of resources supporting a 12-15 year mine life, with significant exploration upside across multiple epithermal vein systems.Construction progress remains robust, with the company ending 2025 with $45 million in cash and all major capital expenditures committed. Management expects to generate over $100 million in free cash flow from Runruno operations, comfortably covering the remaining $90 million required to complete La India. The critical path centers on electrical infrastructure connections, while mechanical and steel erection work proceeds smoothly.Beyond La India, Metals Exploration is actively pursuing construction-ready assets in Central America and Asia where its processing plant and experienced construction team can be redeployed following Runruno's closure. With a market capitalization exceeding £400 million and strong cash generation, the company is positioned to pursue opportunities in jurisdictions where other operators remain reluctant, leveraging direct government relationships and proven execution capabilities to access quality assets at attractive valuations.View Metals Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metals-exploration-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

An expository sermon from 2 Peter 1:1 & 3:17-18 on the Author, Audience, & Aim of the epistle of 2 Peter.

Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview Aim to please God through giving yourself, not serving yourself.I. What God condemns: self-serving fakery (20:45-47)II. What God commends: self-giving faith (21:1-4)Digging Deeper    Read Luke 20:45-21:41. This passage teaches that God condemns self-serving fakery (20:45-47). We can all be tempted to pretend (“to act in the presence of certain people in ways we would never act in their absence.”).  Are there particular circumstances or people around whom you can find yourself tempted toward pretending to be someone you are not? Why do you think that is? 2. The religious leaders of Jesus' day made an outward appearance of loving God and living for him, but in reality, they were only loving and serving themselves. Why do you think we can tend to clearly see this in others (and be troubled by it), and yet often fail to see aspects of this in our own hearts? 3. Are there aspects of your life (e.g., your job, your education, your life experience, etc.) that can, if you are honest, incline you to think you are in some way superior to others? Please share.  4. How can we guard our own hearts and help one another in fighting this temptation (of #3 above)?   5. It was said in the sermon, “Hypocrisy isn't unique to Christianity. But Christianity is unique in its resources to fight hypocrisy.” What does this mean? What are some of the hypocrisy-fighting resources available to us as believers? How might we use these resources to their fullest potential? 6. This passage teaches that God commends self-giving faith. (21:1-4)  In what sense was the widow's offering an act of loving, self-giving faith? What might acts of loving, self-giving faith look like for you? 7. We who are members of CrossWay have, on our membership applications, committed ourselves to using our “God-given gifts, time, energy, and wealth to support this local church.” How would you assess yourself? Are you doing what you said you would do? If there is room for growth, what might be a good next step in pursuing that? 8. What might be some ways for us to assess if our giving is sacrificial in nature, or merely “out of (our) abundance”? 9. Read 2 Corinthians 8:9: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” How does (should) the self-giving of Jesus for our sakes motivate our own self-giving for God's purposes in the world? Prayer

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's character creation lesson begins with basic geometry, escalates into psychic powers, and somehow ends with a pacifist circus bear being seriously considered as a build option. In this episode, we take the gloves off and actually make characters for Pulp Cthulhu—choosing archetypes, rolling stats, hoarding skill points like goblins, and discovering that if you roll too well, you might accidentally invent the world's first telepathic himbo artist. If you've ever wondered how Call of Cthulhu character creation becomes fast, fun, and dangerously powerful, this is where the pulp really starts to flow. The D8 goes in the D8 hole. Show Notes This episode walks step-by-step through Pulp Cthulhu character creation, showing how investigators are built to be tougher, broader, and far more cinematic than their classic Call of Cthulhu counterparts. Ash guides Tyler and Randall through the full process—then breaks it down into a Quick & Dirty method that can get players to the table in minutes. Step 1: Choose an Archetype Archetypes replace traditional "classes" and are rooted in classic pulp fiction roles: Mystic (psychic powers, occult insight, vibes) Egghead (engineers, scientists, gadgeteers) Two-Fisted, Swashbuckler, Femme Fatale, Bon Vivant, and more Each archetype: Defines a core characteristic Grants bonus archetype skills Suggests traits, occupations, and story hooks This approach encourages concept-first design, letting the character idea drive the mechanics instead of the other way around. Step 2: Generate Characteristics Attributes are rolled using the familiar D100 roll-under system, but with a key twist: Core characteristic = 1d6 + 13 × 5 (expect very high numbers) Other stats use 3d6×5 or 2d6+6×5 High pulp means exceptional competence The result? Characters who feel powerful immediately—sometimes too powerful, leading to delightful accidents like rolling: Incredible Power Solid looks Questionable intelligence (Yes, the "himbo build" is real.) Step 3: Talents (High Pulp Edition) Because this game is running High Pulp, characters receive four talents instead of two. Talents are drawn from four categories: Physical Mental Combat Miscellaneous Highlights from the episode include: Psychic Powers Arcane Insight Weird Science Animal Companion (responsibly downgraded from "bear" to "bear-adjacent dog") Talents dramatically define how characters play and reinforce pulp action over fragile realism. Step 4: Occupation & Skill Points Occupations grant massive skill point pools, often hundreds of points: Skills start with base percentages Occupational skills come first Archetype skills add another 100 points Personal interest skills add even more The result is wide, competent characters instead of hyper-specialized glass cannons. The episode includes practical advice: Avoid pushing every skill to 95 Aim for flexibility, not just peak numbers Remember Credit Rating is mandatory and matters in play Step 5: Backstory (Fast but Meaningful) Instead of long essays, Pulp Cthulhu uses structured prompts: Personal description (biased, first-person) Ideology and beliefs Significant people Treasured possessions Traits Random tables spark instant character hooks, like: Idolizing Nikola Tesla Carrying calipers as a grounding object Shared trauma bonds Risk-taking or unreliable personalities One key backstory element becomes your Sanity anchor, helping characters recover from mental trauma. Quick & Dirty Character Creation Ash closes the episode with a streamlined alternative: Assign preset stat values Pick talents Select skills from fixed arrays Roll backstory details Start playing immediately Perfect for one-shots, convention play, or groups eager to punch cultists now, not in two hours. Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu character creation is fast, flexible, and cinematic Archetypes replace classes with strong narrative identity High Pulp characters start powerful and stay relevant Talents are the heart of customization Skill points are plentiful—breadth is rewarded Structured backstory tools create instant roleplay hooks The Quick & Dirty method gets you playing in minutes Yes, you can accidentally build a psychic himbo—and that's a feature Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Connecting with teenage daughters can feel like trying to break through a locked door—especially when rejection, distance, and silence start to replace the closeness you once had. In this Q&A episode, I'm joined by Uncle Joe as we tackle two deeply relatable questions from dads who are doing their best but feel stuck, unsure, and disconnected.   We dive into what it really takes to win a teenage daughter's heart without forcing connection, why consistency matters more than instant results, and how dads can stop taking rejection personally while still staying emotionally available. We also address marriage and money decisions, showing how curiosity, values, and asking better questions can transform conflict into teamwork. This episode is packed with wisdom, reassurance, and practical strategies for dads who refuse to give up on their kids or their marriage.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the final Q&A episode of January 2026 [2:37] A dad's question about connecting with his 14-year-old daughter [4:10] Why teenage girls often pull away during adolescence [4:33] Recommended reading: Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters [5:12] Learning what matters to your daughter to win her heart [6:35] Why genuine interest builds emotional safety [7:16] Consistency over comfort when facing rejection [8:08] Not internalizing rejection from teenage daughters [8:57] How facial expressions communicate disappointment [9:15] "Aim for the heart" and understanding a child's unique wiring [10:19] Engaging with your daughter's interests without trying to be "cool" [11:21] Alliance member perspective on grit and perseverance [12:37] Why daughters notice effort even when they don't respond [13:03] Dr. Lisa Damour's insights on never giving up [14:08] Why your daughter will remember whether you stayed or quit [15:11] Second question: marriage, money, and trust [16:34] How "telling" shuts down conversations with your wife [17:08] Leading with curiosity instead of control [18:10] Asking questions that invite reflection and teamwork [19:36] Validating your wife's values before problem-solving [21:11] Enabling vs. empowering family members [23:23] Using shared family values as a decision-making framework [26:18] Why aligned values reduce conflict in marriage [29:18] Faith, provision, and living out core values [30:57] Resources for dads raising teenagers [31:16] Where to find all episode links and next steps     Five Key Takeaways Winning a teenage daughter's heart requires consistency, not instant validation.  Rejection isn't personal—it's developmental, and dads must stay steady through it.  Genuine curiosity builds connection far more than control or correction.  Asking better questions reduces marriage conflict, especially around money and family decisions.  Shared values create clarity, alignment, and peace in family decision-making.      Links & Resources Guiding Teenage Girls Into Adulthood (Dad Edge Episode): https://thedadedge.com/guiding-teenage-girls-into-adulthood-with-dr-lisa-damour/ Dr. Lisa Damour Website: https://drlisadamour.com/ Dr. Lisa Damour on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisa.damour/ Dr. Lisa Damour on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSt8mu1taNYAHTufbYwqglFHoevbZgNQl Dr. Lisa Damour on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/Ldamour Dr. Lisa Damour on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisadamourphd Dr. Lisa Damour Podcast: https://drlisadamour.com/resources/podcast/ How to Manage a Meltdown (PDF): https://drlisadamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/LD_Bookmarks_How_to_Manage_a_Meltdown.pdf Meg Meeker on The Dad Edge Podcast: https://thedadedge.com/meg-meeker/ Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1432   Closing Remark If this episode encouraged you to stay the course with your kids or approach your marriage with more curiosity and patience, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.
