A Native girls softball team made history this summer, winning a Babe Ruth Softball World Series championship during its first year competing in the tournament. Na7ive Na7ions brought together Native athletes from different tribal communities to compete in Florence, Ala., but founder and former Major League Baseball pitcher D.J. Carrasco says their success was not only about what happened on the field. They were also battling the summer heat. Temperatures hovered in the 90s, with high humidity making conditions even tougher, but inside the Na7ive Na7ions dugout, there was something you might not normally associate with championship softball: Watermelon. Grapes. Oranges. Pickles. And a team favorite: frozen pickle juice, or “pickle pops”. Autumn Lopez is a holistic nutritional therapy practitioner and co-founder of Na7ive Na7ions. “We feed them from the moment they start swinging the bat, warming up through the entire game. And at first it was hard for them, and they didn’t really understand, but they adapted really fast to eating during the game.” Lopez says the approach was intentional. Carrasco pitched professionally, including ten seasons in Major League Baseball, while Lopez has a background in massage therapy and nutrition. Lopez says the goal is to develop the whole athlete, not just what happens between the lines. And in Alabama, she believes it made a difference. “We were probably one of the only teams, if not the only team, who didn’t suffer heat exhaustion, nausea, throwing up. Every time you looked around, there was a coach throwing up… We didn’t have one girl go down, so that was huge.” Lopez says she repeatedly reminded the girls that winning required more than playing good softball. They also had to stay healthy enough to keep playing. Carrasco says the tournament tested them against some formidable competition, including Puerto Rico. He says the experience also gave the girls a chance to represent Native people and their individual cultures on an international stage. “They’re literally ambassadors. They’re truly ambassadors of their tribe and their cultures.” Lopez says other teams began noticing what looked like a buffet inside the Na7ive Na7ions dugout. And eventually, what started as the team’s own nutrition strategy spread beyond it. Before another game against Puerto Rico, Lopez had extra bananas. “I thought, do I share my secret weapon?… So I grabbed those bananas and I took them over to Puerto Rico… and I said, hey, I have some bananas for you, for your team.” She also handed out electrolytes to umpires and other teams. For Lopez, that reflected something bigger than winning. (Courtesy Native Nations Sport / Facebook) Na7ive Na7ions wants young athletes to leave the program understanding how to care for themselves long after the final out. And the girls left Alabama with something else: a championship. Lopez says watching the final out was emotional after four years of building the organization, but her thoughts quickly turned toward what the victory could mean for the Native girls coming behind them. “When I saw the girls go out there, that last pitch was thrown, that last hit was hit, that last catch was caught, and they realized they won, I just thought they have just changed the trajectory for so many generations of young girls underneath them.” It was the first year Na7ive Na7ions fielded a girls softball team at the Babe Ruth World Series. Carrasco and Lopez says interest in the program has surged since the victory, with Native families asking how their children can participate. For the girls who made history in Alabama, he says the magnitude of what they accomplished might not sink in for years, but eventually, he hopes they’ll be able to look back and say: “They started it.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're delving into a series of significant breakthroughs and strategic moves reshaping the industry landscape. Repligen Corporation's recent decision to acquire BioLife Solutions for $1.5 billion marks a pivotal moment in the cell therapy sector. BioLife Solutions' expertise in cryopreservation media is integral to maintaining cell viability during storage and transport—an essential factor for the success of cell therapies in oncology and regenerative medicine. This acquisition ensures Repligen a stable supply chain to support the burgeoning demand for advanced therapeutic options, potentially enhancing patient outcomes through more reliable treatments. Meanwhile, Novartis is expanding its reach in South Korea with a $95 million investment aimed at enhancing its radioligand therapy supply chain. Radioligand therapy represents a groundbreaking approach in oncology, utilizing targeted radioactive particles to specifically attack cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This strategic investment underscores Novartis's commitment to ensuring a robust infrastructure for delivering innovative cancer treatments. On the clinical front, Crystalys Therapeutics has made waves by securing $130 million in Series B funding, propelling their gout treatment, Dotinurad, into Phase 3 trials. This drug targets uric acid levels, addressing a significant unmet need in gout management. The progression into late-stage trials reflects confidence in Dotinurad's potential to provide effective relief for patients suffering from this painful condition. Regulatory advancements are also making headlines with the UK's MHRA granting approval to Chiesi's Clenil Modulite with a low-carbon propellant for asthma maintenance treatment. This move signifies a crucial step towards more sustainable pharmaceutical practices without compromising efficacy—setting a potential benchmark for future respiratory treatments that incorporate eco-friendly technologies. In business development news, Ashlins Pharmaceuticals and Lee's Pharmaceutical have struck a $31 million licensing deal for interferon alpha-2b outside China, focusing on rare diseases. Similarly, Jupiter Neurosciences' acquisition of MDMA asset ALA-002 from Pharmala Biotech illustrates ongoing interest in small molecule therapeutics for neurological conditions. Royalty Pharma's significant $425 million payment to Neurimmune highlights strategic investments in cardiovascular therapies through royalty financing, underscoring confidence in advancing novel treatments. Concurrently, Dimension has raised an impressive $800 million for an AI-driven biotech drug discovery fund. The integration of AI promises accelerated drug development timelines and enhanced precision in identifying viable candidates. However, not every development is favorable. Celldex Therapeutics faced a setback with their Phase 2 trial failure for barzolvolimab in prurigo nodularis patients. Such challenges highlight the inherent risks associated with innovative drug development. Turning our attention to another scientific milestone, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals has reported promising Phase 3 data on its triglyceride-lowering drug, Plozasiran. With analysts praising its "best-in-class profile," Arrowhead aims for FDA approval by year-end, setting up potential competition with Ionis Pharmaceuticals' Tryngolza. These advancements underscore significant progress in targeting specific lipid disorders and the promise of novel therapies to improve cardiovascular health. Corporate strategies are also evolving as seen with Sanofi undergoing executive restructuring under new leadership by CEO Belen Garijo. This reflects broader industry trends where leadership shifts align corporate strategies with market demands and scientific opportunities. Legal developments have not gone unnoticed either. Amgen's $74 million settlement over allegations of concealing a substantial tax bill highlights ongoing scrutiny over corporate governance within the sector. Meanwhile, industry giants are rallying around regulatory defenses, as evidenced by biopharma companies supporting the FDA amidst legal challenges concerning mifepristone—a move emphasizing the industry's vested interest in maintaining access to drugs based on scientific merit. From a technological perspective, companies are increasingly adopting connected trial technologies to streamline processes such as consent and reporting—advancements crucial for reducing patient burden and accelerating drug development timelines. In conclusion, these developments portray an industry at the forefront of scientific innovation while navigating complex regulatory environments and ethical considerations. As firms continue exploring novel treatment avenues and leveraging technological advancements like AI, they position themselves for transformative impacts on patient care and global health outcomes. We look forward to keeping you updated on these exciting trends shaping the future of pharma and biotech industries.Support the show

Paul Gompers has a long history in the marathon and in the pursuit of excellence. It's hard to imagine anyone more competitive than Gompers. He even owns Alter-G treadmills in two separate residences so he can work out twice a day. Gompers ran his first marathon in 1983 while a Harvard freshman. His 2:15:28 in Huntsville, Ala, still stands as an under-20 world record on a eligible course.Four years later, Gompers improved to 2:11:39 at the 1987 Twin Cities Marathon. The following spring, he placed fourth in the 1988 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials behind Mark Conover, Ed Eyestone, and Pete Pfitzinger.Gompers turned next to the study of economics. He has been a professor at the Harvard Business School since 1995, specializing in venture capital and entrepreneurship.About 20 years ago, he learned to swim and began serious training for age-group triathlon, as did his wife Jody, a Boston-area physician. Gompers has since completed four Kona Ironman Triathlons, as well as many others, with top finishes for his age.In recent years, he has also advised Harvard's standout alumni runners, including Graham Blanks and Ben Rosa.For more on Paul Gompers, see this page on Wikipedia.

En Capital Intereconomía, la Tertulia Capital analiza la actualidad económica y política junto a Juan José Rubio, catedrático de Hacienda Pública; Antonio Díaz Morales, consejero independiente en empresas de Educación; y Javier Sastre, profesor de ESIC Business & Marketing School. La mesa debate sobre el incremento del 6,6% del gasto público previsto por el Gobierno en un año marcado por el calendario electoral y analiza las dificultades para sacar adelante unos Presupuestos Generales del Estado que contemplan unos ingresos de 226.000 millones de euros. También abordamos el nombramiento de Antonio Ansón Latorre como nuevo director de la Agencia Tributaria y los retos que afrontará al frente del organismo. Otro de los asuntos destacados es la cumbre de la OTAN, donde Donald Trump vuelve a insistir en sus reivindicaciones sobre Groenlandia y en la necesidad de reforzar el compromiso de los aliados con el gasto en defensa. Además, analizamos la decisión del Banco Central Europeo de exigir a las entidades financieras un plan de acción sobre el proyecto MITHOS antes del próximo mes de octubre y las implicaciones que puede tener para el sector bancario. En la Entrevista Capital hablamos con Javier Gándara, presidente de la Asociación de Líneas Aéreas (ALA), para analizar la reforma del reglamento europeo sobre los derechos de los pasajeros aprobada por la Eurocámara. Abordamos las nuevas normas sobre las compensaciones por retrasos, la regulación del equipaje de mano y el impacto que estos cambios tendrán tanto para las aerolíneas como para los viajeros. Por último, repasamos la preapertura de las bolsas europeas junto a David Cortina, responsable de Renta Variable de Santander Private Banking, que analiza las principales referencias económicas y empresariales que marcarán el inicio de la sesión.
Jesús Alañá, el 'Capitán', nos dejó el pasado diciembre a los 69 años después de una vida ligada a la radio y al ciclismo.
What does it mean to celebrate America on its 250th anniversary? The Trump administration's festivities — from the U.F.C. fight on the White House lawn to the Great American State Fair — have centered American glory and greatness. What has been missing are the Americans who fought to move America closer to its promises. They had to love a country — or at least believe in a country — that often failed them. How did they do it? Beneath that is a deep question for anyone who loves a country, or even loves another person: How do you love something in its wholeness, amid its imperfections and failures? One person who is thinking deeply about how to do this is Bryan Stevenson. He's a civil rights lawyer and the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, which is based in Montgomery, Ala. E.J.I. has created a series of museums and sites in Montgomery that aim to examine America's history of enslavement, racial violence and segregation, while also uplifting and honoring the people who endured these systems and fought to upend them. The sites are remarkable to witness, as I found out when I visited Montgomery, and they hold America's manifold truths in tension with one another — all its horror and beauty, tragedy and triumph, inhumanity and humanity. I asked Stevenson how he's thinking about America's 250th birthday — and what work the country has left to fulfill its vision of liberty and equality for all.

Travis Armstrong is the Chief Operating Officer of English, Lucas, Priest & Owsley, also known as ELPO, the largest full-service law firm in South Central Kentucky. He has managed the operations of the firm for 21 years, after beginning his career in public accounting and later serving as a CFO in the insurance industry. Travis holds both a CPA and Certified Legal Manager designation and has overseen finance, operations, facilities, HR, and marketing as the firm has grown. He is also the immediate past president of the Association of Legal Administrators, the premier international professional association for legal management professionals, and has made mental health and well-being in the legal profession a personal priority. Outside of work, Travis is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hiking, kayaking, and running, and has completed six marathons. WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT LAW FIRM LEADERSHIP AND OPERATIONS There is someone inside your firm who sees things that may never make it into the managing partner's inbox. They see the operational strain, the succession gaps, and the cultural undercurrents that affect how the firm actually runs. Yet in many law firms, the people managing the business side are still treated as support instead of strategic leadership. That gap creates real risk. Firms may have plans for transitioning client relationships, but far fewer have thought through what happens when the COO, firm administrator, or another long-tenured business professional leaves. There is also a cost to doing nothing, from attorney time spent figuring out administrative systems to culture problems that quietly affect productivity, retention, and mental health. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge podcast, Elise Holtzman talks with Travis Armstrong of English, Lucas, Priest & Owsley about what law firm COOs see that leaders often miss, why operational succession planning matters, how mental health affects the whole firm, and what it means to look at and listen to your culture. 2:33 - How Travis moved from accounting and insurance into legal management 4:34 - Why law firms tend to adopt change more slowly than other industries 5:25 - What the Association of Legal Administrators does for law firm business professionals 10:05 - How managing partners can get more value from their COO or firm administrator 13:14 - How Travis's role evolved from firm administrator to COO as the firm grew 14:17 - Why operational succession planning is a blind spot for law firms 19:00 - The cost of doing nothing when an operational leader retires 21:23 - Why difficult succession conversations are worth having early 23:11 - What the ALA survey revealed about mental health resources in the legal profession 25:16 - Why legal administrative professionals often lack access to the same mental health resources as lawyers 27:45 - How ALA's mental health first aid training helps legal professionals spot warning signs 31:00 - Why law firm leaders need to look honestly at their culture 34:19 - The business case for supporting mental health in law firms 35:25 - Why attorneys need to listen to administrative staff and trust their judgment Mentioned In What Happens When Lawyers Actually Listen to Their COO English, Lucas, Priest & Owsley, LLP | LinkedIn Travis Armstrong on LinkedIn Association of Legal Administrators ALA Mental Health First Aid Training Amanda Koplos | How Legal Administrators Help Unlock Your Law Firm's Potential Retirement by Design - Ida Abbott Consulting LLC Get connected with the coaching team: hello@thelawyersedge.com The Lawyer's Edge SPONSOR FOR THIS EPISODE This episode is brought to you by the coaching team at The Lawyer's Edge, a training and coaching firm that has been focused exclusively on lawyers and law firms since 2008.

Send us Fan MailIn this special episode of the WTR Small Cap Spotlight Podcast, originally featured on WTR Healthcare Happenings, Nick Kadysh, Founding CEO and President of PharmAla Biotech Holdings (CSE: MDMA), joins host Tim Gerdeman and WTR Healthcare Analyst Robert Sassoon to discuss the company's positioning as a world-leading supplier of clinical-grade MDMA and its strategy for unlocking pipeline value through smart partnerships. Nick walks through two recently announced transactions: the formation of Restora Neurosciences, a 50/50 SPV to advance APA-01, a non-psychedelic neurology molecule targeting traumatic brain injury and stroke, and a term sheet granting Jupiter Neurosciences (NASDAQ: JUNS) exclusive US rights to lead asset ALA-002, valued at more than $100 million. He also explains why a focused, capital-efficient model matters for a seven-person company supporting 33 clinical trials worldwide.

Avec Danyel Waro, Barrut et la famille Lacaille. Créolités #réunion #occitanie. Groundation, Fatoumata Diawara, L'Antidote, Sniper, Danyèl Waro, Les Égarés, Ala.ni, René Lacaille & Bonbon Vodou… 50 ans, c'est épatant ! En 1976, Christian Mousset crée le festival « Jazz en France ». De Jazz en France à aujourd'hui, le festival n'a jamais cessé d'ouvrir grand les oreilles, les yeux et les bras. Il a vu naître des artistes devenus légendes, célébré les traditions autant que les audaces, et planté dans chaque âme curieuse la graine du voyage. Ici, on danse sur la diversité, on lit le monde à voix haute, on s'émerveille d'un conte, d'un instrument venu d'ailleurs. Ici, la différence n'est pas un mot à défendre, mais une évidence à vivre. Chaque édition est une traversée, chaque scène un port d'attache, chaque public une famille recomposée à l'infini. Pour ses 50 ans, Musiques Métisses regarde derrière avec gratitude, devant avec ferveur. Il célèbre ses racines, celles de l'ouverture, du partage, du vivre-ensemble, tout en continuant à défricher, explorer, provoquer les belles rencontres. Parce qu'un monde sans curiosité serait un monde sans couleurs. Et que celles de Musiques Métisses ne s'effaceront jamais. Instagram - Site. Notre premier invité est Danyèl Waro et son « Dernié Viraz Tour »! Car oui, ce jeune homme de 71 ans arrête les tournées. Figure incontournable du maloya, Danyèl Waro en défend la forme acoustique et originelle avec une force rare. Musicien et poète, il place le créole au centre de son œuvre, faisant du mot, du rythme et de la langue un acte de mémoire et de résistance. Engagé et profondément attaché à l'identité réunionnaise, il porte à travers sa musique des messages de révolte, d'espoir et de métissage, célébrant la richesse culturelle de l'île et la liberté de ses voix. ► Dernier album Tinn Tout (Buda Musique 2020). Facebook - Label Cobalt. Puis rencontre avec les polyphonies modernes du groupe occitan Barrut Barrut, collectif originaire des vallées de l'Hérault, de l'Aude et des Pyrénées-Orientales, crée et interprète ses propres chants en occitan. Leur musique, puissante et brute, refuse les standards commerciaux et les artifices techniques. Ils privilégient des voix naturelles et intenses, portées par une polyphonie moderne et engagée. À travers leurs textes percutants, ils expriment des révoltes et s'impliquent dans les combats sociaux, politiques et écologiques actuels. ► Dernier album Travèrsas (Ox'Ivent 2025). Instagram. Enfin discussion autour d'une table avec la famille Lacaille (René le père, Oriane la fille, Marco le fils) et leur Kabaré Kréol. Figure emblématique du sega moderne et grand griot du maloya, René Lacaille incarne la richesse musicale créole de l'île de La Réunion, mêlant rythmes et instruments africains, indiens, malgaches et européens.

Le duo Bonbon Vodou (Oriane Lacaille et JereM Boucris) mélange influences de l'océan Indien et de la Méditerranée, souvent au rythme du Maloya.

En este programa especial de Misión de Audaces volvemos a Poniente para preparar el regreso de La Casa del Dragón con una previa centrada en recordar cómo terminó la temporada 2 y dónde queda cada personaje antes de la temporada 3. Repasamos la situación del bando Negro y el bando Verde, la posición de Rhaenyra, Daemon, Jacaerys, Corlys, Aemond, Aegon II, Alicent, Helaena, Larys, Otto Hightower y el resto de piezas clave que llegan vivas —o bastante chamuscadas— al nuevo tablero de guerra. También recordamos los grandes acontecimientos de la segunda temporada: Sangre y Queso, la Batalla de Reposo del Grajo, la muerte de Rhaenys y Meleys, el bloqueo de Desembarco del Rey, las tensiones en Harrenhal, la aparición de las semillas de dragón, la importancia de Vermithor, Ala de Plata, Bruma, Vhagar, Fuegosueño y el nuevo equilibrio de fuerzas entre dragones. Un episodio pensado para quienes quieren llegar a la tercera temporada de House of the Dragon sin andar perdidos entre Targaryen, Velaryon, Hightower, dragones, traiciones, alianzas rotas y familias con una gestión emocional digna de denuncia. Vuelven los dragones. Vuelve la guerra. Vuelve Misión de Audaces. Besos y almuerzos
Esta noche hacemos una pausa para reconocer todas las formas en las que el amor ha estado presente en nuestra vida. A través de una carta íntima y una reflexión antes de dormir, recordamos que el amor no solo vive en las relaciones de pareja, sino también en los pequeños gestos cotidianos y, sobre todo, en la relación que construimos con nosotros mismos.A lo largo de estos 4 años de Durmiendo Podcast, hemos compartido episodios que les han ayudado muchísimo. Por eso, hoy traemos de vuelta las herramientas que más han resonado con ustedes y que les han acompañado a cerrar su día con calma
Laverne Cox never fit in as a child in Mobile, Ala. But she really didn't want to. From an early age, she knew she was going to be a star, and she was right. Decades later, Cox would break through as Sophia Burset on Netflix's “Orange Is the New Black,” and become the first openly transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy Award in an acting category. In this episode of “Modern Love,” Cox talks about her new memoir, “Transcendent.” She tells the story of how she became the star she always knew she was, the men she loved along the way and how she learned to fully love herself.

Headlines shout, ads glow, and reaction videos roll their eyes, but your heart health deserves more than noise. We take a calm, from-the-heart look at omega-3 supplements and why the research appears to clash, then trace the real reasons studies diverge: who gets studied, how long they're followed, what dose they take, and which outcomes actually matter. No hot takes here, just clear thinking you can use the next time a confident voice tries to sell you certainty.We start by disentangling observational research from causation, showing how healthy user bias and social determinants of health can masquerade as supplement benefits.From there, we break down randomized controlled trials without the halo effect: short timelines and low-risk populations are a recipe for “no difference,” even when an intervention might help in the right setting. By zooming in on higher-risk groups and adequate EPA/DHA dosing, we explain when omega-3s can reduce cardiovascular events and why broad, general-population trials often dilute that signal.You'll also get practical guidance to steady your routine. We outline simple, plant-forward ways to meet daily ALA needs, flax, chia, walnuts, hemp, and how supplementation can serve as a backup when diet falls short. Most importantly, we share a five-question checklist to stress-test any health claim: incentives, design, duration, population risk, and meaningful outcomes. Use it to cut through influencer drama, affiliate pitches, and curated “debunks,” and make choices that fit your risk profile and values.If this helped you think more clearly about omega-3s, and about evidence itself, share it with a friend who's tired of nutrition whiplash, subscribe for more grounded conversations, and leave a review with the next claim you want us to unpack.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules

Launched by Adam Bonvin, Alaïa was born following a surfing trip to France. His desire: to recreate this surfing atmosphere in the Swiss Alps. Alaïa Bay became the world's third Wavegarden Cove opened to the public. But the real story here is what happened after the grand opening. Dealing with harsh Swiss winters, pool bottom issues, and operating within a non-endemic surf culture, Adam learned harsh operational lessons early on. It's a common theme in the surf park space as projects discover that a successful facility relies less on sizzle reels of the pros and more on how you cultivate customer experience beyond opening day. In this candid interview, Adam shares what went wrong and how the team made adjustments to remedy each issue as it surfaced - the ongoing process of which has molded Alaïa Bay into the premier surf experience it is today.

Si en el episodio anterior te hice una pequeña introducción de lo que es capaz de hacer este agente, hoy quiero bajar al barro contigo y contarte cómo le he dado ojos a nuestro modelo para que pueda explorar internet, documentarse y encontrar la mejor información de forma completamente soberana, libre de anuncios y con el máximo respeto por nuestra privacidad.En este episodio nos vamos a centrar en dos "conectores" brutales que he integrado en su arsenal: uno para realizar búsquedas en la web general y otro para realizar búsquedas avanzadas en YouTube.SearXNG: Tu propio Google privado y sin publicidadLa primera pieza de este rompecabezas es SearXNG. Es una herramienta maravillosa que actúa como un buscador de buscadores. En lugar de ser un motor de búsqueda que rastrea la web entera por su cuenta, SearXNG lo que hace es consultar de forma simultánea a los grandes del sector: Google, Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo y los que tú decidas. Recopila las respuestas de todos ellos, limpia los molestos rastreadores que intentan identificarte, elimina los anuncios y te devuelve una lista limpia de resultados.Invidious: Buscando en YouTube con total soberaníaLa segunda herramienta que le he dado a Hermes es Invidious, y tiene un propósito muy claro: facilitarle el acceso a la inmensa base de conocimientos que es YouTube.La magia de los subagentes paralelosLo que me tiene entusiasmado de este sistema es la capacidad de Hermes de combinar ambas herramientas de forma autónoma gracias a los subagentes. Imagina que le pido a Hermes que me recomiende cómo aprender a programar en el lenguaje Rust. En lugar de darme una respuesta estática, Hermes decide de forma inteligente lanzar dos subagentes: uno se va a la web a través de SearXNG a buscar documentación oficial y artículos de referencia, mientras que el otro se va a YouTube a través de Invidious para buscar cursos en vídeo.Ambos asistentes virtuales regresan con sus hallazgos y Hermes hace un cruce de datos espectacular.El poder de los contenedores DockerPara montar todo esto sin complicarme la vida ni ensuciar el sistema operativo de mi equipo principal, he recurrido a mis queridos contenedores Docker. Cada herramienta corre en su propio compartimento aislado. Da igual que SearXNG use unas librerías de Python concretas o que Invidious requiera otras dependencias distintas; al estar encapsulados, nunca entran en conflicto. Si quiero actualizar algo, simplemente descargo la nueva versión del contenedor y listo. En la entrada del blog te dejaré las plantillas de Docker Compose preparadas para que tú también puedas desplegarlas en tu servidor y empezar a cacharrear hoy mismo.CAPÍTULOS DEL EPISODIO:00:00:00 Presentación: El asistente de IA definitivo y la soberanía digital00:01:40 ¿Qué es un MCP (Model Context Protocol)?00:03:26 SearXNG: Tu propio motor de búsqueda privado y sin anuncios00:05:53 Poniendo a prueba las búsquedas web con Hermes00:07:32 Cómo está montada la infraestructura de búsqueda con Docker00:08:48 Automatización real: Creación de documentos con información web00:09:38 Invidious: YouTube sin publicidad y sin rastreo00:11:43 Buscando y analizando vídeos de YouTube con Hermes00:16:20 Superpoderes combinados: Búsqueda web + YouTube00:20:40 Por qué autoalojar todo en contenedores Docker independientes00:22:04 Analizando la recomendación razonada de la IA para aprender Rust00:24:09 Próximo episodio: Planificación de menús y bases de datos vectoriales00:25:09 Taller presencial en Linux Center de Slimbook (¡ven a cacharrear!)00:26:00 Despedida y cierre del episodioMás información y enlaces en las notas del episodio

In this Mini Mikkiepdia episode, Mikki takes a fresh look at omega-3 fatty acids beyond the usual “good for your heart and brain” message. She explores emerging and lesser-known research on omega-3s and their potential role in protecting muscle during immobilisation, supporting fertility and oocyte quality, reducing period pain, improving submaximal exercise efficiency, and possibly influencing dementia and colorectal polyp risk. Mikki also discusses the difference between marine omega-3s like EPA and DHA, and plant-based ALA, including surprising findings in motor neurone disease research. With practical dosing context, cautions around study limitations, and a reminder to consider omega-3 index testing, this episode is a useful listen for active people, women in perimenopause, athletes, and anyone interested in targeted supplementation. Highlights / Topics Covered: How omega-3s may reduce muscle loss during injury, surgery, or immobilisation The role of EPA and DHA in fertility, period pain, and inflammatory pathways Emerging research on omega-3s, APOE4, dementia risk, and brain structure Why athletes may benefit from improved submaximal heart rate and perceived effort Practical dosing considerations and why the omega-3 index matters Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order
In this episode, Jeff sits down with Dr. Jonathan Leake, board-certified emergency medicine physician and co-founder of Hydrate Medical, an IV hydration and wellness practice with eight locations across the Carolinas, including Mooresville and Huntersville. Dr. Leake shares how his ER background and a memorable stomach-bug outbreak inspired him and business partner Keith to create a physician-owned alternative to pricey hospital visits – delivering safe, evidence-based IV treatments in a comfortable, relaxing setting. The conversation covers what really drives clients to Hydrate Medical (hint: it's mostly wellness, not hangovers), the science behind hydration and vitamin infusions, common misconceptions about IV therapy, how to choose a reputable provider, and the practice's new Performance & Longevity program featuring NAD+, ALA, and NAC. Whether you're battling fatigue and burnout or chasing peak athletic recovery, this episode is a thoughtful primer on how strategic hydration can become part of your health routine.Hydrate MedicalThe Best of LKNhttps://thebestoflkn.com/Hosted by:Jeff Hammhttps://lknreal.com/Powered by:https://aidawerks.com/Support the show
Send us Fan MailHuman genetic variation in dietary fat metabolism and its implications for health & disease.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Linoleic Acid Rise: Linoleic acid now comprises 6-8% or more of energy in Western diets.Metabolic Pathways: Omega-6 linoleic acid converts to arachidonic acid and pro-inflammatory oxylipins; omega-3 ALA converts via shared enzymes to EPA/DHA with anti-inflammatory effects.FADS Genetic Variants: Ancestry-linked haplotypes in the FADS cluster create large “pipe” size differences, altering fatty acid by up to 40% between ancestral and derived versions.Population Differences: African ancestry populations often have high-conversion “big pipe” genotypes; Indigenous American ancestry populations have low-conversion “small pipe” genotypes; European ancestry comes with a mix of both.Omega-3 Deficiency: High linoleic intake suppresses EPA production, especially in small-pipe populations, contributing to hypertriglyceridemia and fatty liver in Mexican cohorts.Clinical Evidence: Reanalysis of VITAL trial showed 83% reduction in myocardial infarction with omega-3 supplementation in African Americans; Mexican data link low EPA to unique diabetes forms.Methodological Issues: Compositional data (from GC-FID measurements) versus absolute concentration measurements can flip relationships between linoleic acid and key biomarkers.ABOUT THE GUEST: Floyd Chilton PhD is Professor and Director of the Center for Precision Nutrition and Wellness at the University of Arizona. His research focuses on functional genomics, fatty acid metabolism, and precision nutrition, particularly how genetic ancestry influences responses to dietary fats.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 291: Omega Polyunsaturated Fats & Inflammation | Philip CalderSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners:AquaTru: Water filtration devices that remove microplastics, metals, bacteria, and more from your drinking water.

By Warren Cole Smith Megachurches are not going away, of course. But data in recent years suggest their growth and numbers are leveling out, and possibly even declining. In 1970, the United States had less than 20 protestant megachurches, churches with more than 2,000 in weekly attendance. Today, that number is close to 2,000, a 100-fold increase. However, this number has been mostly unchanged for the past 10 years. In other words, after a period of explosive growth from 1970 to about 2010, the growth in the number of megachurches, and the number of people who attend them, seems to have stagnated. Outreach Magazine publishes an annual list of the fastest growing churches in America, and the largest churches in America. I recently compared the most recent list to the list from 2006 — 20 years ago. My analysis was not comprehensive, but it was fascinating. For example, the largest church on the 2006 list was Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, pastored by Joel Osteen. In 2006 and 2026, the attendance listed was 45,000. No growth whatsoever over a 20-year period. The No. 2 church on the 2006 list was Florida's Without Walls International Church, led by Randy White, the former husband of Prosperity Gospel preacher and Trump advisor Paula White. Without Walls had 23,900 attendees in 2006. Today, that church is not on the list. It sold its facility in 2011 following the divorce of Randy and Paula White, not to mention other public scandals. Today, the church still exists, but attendance figures are hard to come by. Attendance is likely in the hundreds or — at most —low thousands. Not the tens of thousands of its heyday. The No. 3 church on the 2006 church is the Second Baptist Church of Houston, which listed attendance of 22,266 in 2006 and still has attendance of 19,564 today. That is a slight decline over the past two decades, but Second Baptist is still a substantial church and a force in the Houston area. Rounding out the Top Five on the 2006 list are New Birth Missionary Baptist Church (22,000) and Willow Creek Church (21,500). Both churches have been wracked by scandal and are now much smaller today than then. In short, not one of the Top Five churches of 2006 grew in the intervening decades, and three of the five had very public scandals that precipitated dramatic declines. I do not want to overstate my case. As William Bennett famously said, “The plural of anecdote is not data.” I am sharing anecdotes, not data — or at least, not all the data. I will be the first to admit that. And I can think of a couple of good counterarguments to my thesis that the Age of the Megachurch is over. First, while these churches have declined, others have emerged, and some of them are very large indeed. For example, Life.Church of Edmond, Okla., led by Craig Groeschel, now claims 85,000 attendees. That makes it the largest church in the nation. Church of the Highlands of Birmingham, Ala., is led by Chris Hodges. That church claims 60,000 attendees. And Christ's Church of the Valley in Peoria, Ariz., is both the No. 3 church on this year's list and it remains one of the fastest growing churches in the country, with 54,142 in weekly attendance. However, it is worth noting that all three of these churches are multi-site churches. Life.Church has more than 45 physical locations. Church of the Highlands has at least 27 locations. Christ's Church of the Valley has more than 18 physical locations. The multisite phenomenon was rare in 2006 and nonexistent in 1970. It is obvious that if these multisite churches were not aggregating numbers from dozens of sites, their numbers would be much less eye-popping. The growth in multi-site churches, and the anemic growth in the number of megachurches also make obvious that American infatuation with megachurches seems to be in decline. Ryan Burge, my “go to guy” when it comes to church data, notes that the median size of a church in America is about 70 people. Put plainly, the nation's megachurches attract about five to seven million people each week. But non-megachurches attract 10 times that many — 50 to 70 million people. In other words, the megachurch is not now, nor has it ever been, representative of the church experience in the United States. Megachurches feel dominant because they receive media attention, and they can invest in radio, television, and other mass media. But that is an illusion. Will these trends continue? The answer to that question is, likely, “yes.” First, lots of church leaders, even those in the church growth movement, are growing tired of the megachurch and multisite model. Here at MinistryWatch, we have written about Watermark Church, which abandoned its multisite model in 2021. Most of those sites became independent churches, and they are now thriving. Some of these independent churches have themselves planted churches. Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., is someone who has never embraced either the megachurch or the multisite model. His church has intentionally stayed relatively small, less than 1,000 in weekly attendance, and it has been equally intentional about planting churches in the D.C. area. So far, CHBC has helped plant or revitalize more than a dozen churches in the surrounding area. Secondly, it is important to note that the megachurch is at least as much a cultural phenomenon as it is a spiritual phenomenon. Megachurches are the brainchild of Baby Boomers and the post-World War II industrialization of America and the world. That is why I often refer to the “Evangelical Industrial Complex” to describe what has happened to religious life since the 1970s. The industrial model, with its features of scale and mass production, has proven damaging to the mission of the church, and it has lost its appeal to subsequent generations, who value community and relationships. We can now see that evangelicalism's industrial model is good at empire building, but not as good at kingdom building. So, to return to the question that started this conversation: Is the Age of the Megachurch over? The answer to that question may be that it really never was. The sturm und drang of the megachurch movement has turned out to be just what Goethe's famous expression suggests: overwrought, full of passion, but fleeting. Megachurches will not disappear, but after a half-century of observation, we can say that the legacy of the megachurch is mixed, and includes scandal, spiritual deconstruction, and cynicism. In short, becoming a megachurch is no longer the goal to which even church growth advocates aspire. Many faithful Christians are discovering the wisdom found along the Old Paths, and they can say with conviction E.F Schumacher might admire: “small is beautiful.” The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.
Lawmakers in Albany are going back and forth over a bill that would require so-called "super speeders" — drivers who get caught speeding more than 16 times per year — to install speed governors in their car. J.K. Trotter, associate editor for Streetsblog NYC, explains the problem, the legislation, and his reporting on one NYPD cop who has racked up more than 500 speeding tickets.
