Sans surprise, l'Iran a mené cette nuit une opération de représailles contre les frappes israéliennes. Le Jerusalem Post a passé, nous dit-il, « une nuit dans un abri israélien, sous les missiles iraniens ». L'un des habitants raconte : « j'étais à un dîner pour Shabbat lorsque les deux vagues de missiles ont été lancées depuis l'Iran (…) Nous étions une vingtaine, et nous avons été stupéfaits de voir la vidéo d'un missile s'écraser sur le centre d'Israël, d'autant que ça s'est passé à seulement quelques pâtés de maisons d'où nous nous trouvions ». Le reporter du Jerusalem Post raconte « les centaines de secouristes », qui sont sur place. « Plusieurs heures après le drame », ajoute-t-il, « des familles sortaient encore du bâtiment. Des parents portaient des bébés (…) je n'ai vu ni larmes ni panique. Seulement des gens qui en ont tellement vu, qui ont tellement vécu et qui sont terriblement fatigués. » Réactions en Iran De son côté, Courrier international a cherché à savoir comment les Iraniens réagissent aux frappes menées par Israël. « Réveillés en pleine nuit par le bruit assourdissant des multiples explosions dues aux frappes », nous dit-on, « les habitants de Téhéran sont descendus en panique dans les rues. Dès le matin, de longues files d'attente se sont formées devant les stations-services, aussi bien à Téhéran qu'ailleurs dans les grandes villes du pays, par crainte de pénurie ou de hausse des prix. » Courrier international reprend par ailleurs les propos du site réformateur Asr-e Iran, qui « reproche au régime "de ne pas avoir pris au sérieux les avertissements contre une possible infiltration" des services de renseignements israéliens ». Le même site d'information iranien ajoute que « si le régime n'est pas en mesure de faire "regretter aux Israéliens" leur attaque par une riposte d'envergure, il vaudrait mieux envisager "une révision de profondeur de sa politique", vis-à-vis d'Israël. » Pari risqué La situation, en tout cas, suscite l'inquiétude. Inquiétude exprimée notamment par le journal Libération, qui parle « d'un embrasement dangereux aux accents religieux ». « L'attaque israélienne spectaculaire contre l'Iran », poursuit le quotidien français (…) « représente d'un point de vue militaire une énorme réussite. Du point de vue politique, par contre, elle met en danger des millions de civils, y compris la population israélienne, et fait basculer le Moyen-Orient dans un embrasement que les pompiers habituels (les États-Unis, le Conseil de sécurité et les États avoisinants) ne peuvent ou ne veulent plus éteindre ». Enfin, en Espagne, El Païs parle « d'un pari risqué », estimant que « l'attaque israélienne encourage ceux qui, en Iran, voient la bombe atomique comme une garantie de survie du régime ».

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings CEO Dr Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 2 OASIS trial, a study evaluating TNX-102 SL for reducing the severity of acute stress reaction (ASR) and preventing the onset of acute stress disorder (ASD). The investigator-initiated trial is sponsored by the University of North Carolina Institute for Trauma Recovery and supported by a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense. The OASIS (Optimizing Acute Stress Reaction Interventions with TNX-102 SL) trial will assess the safety and efficacy of TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg compared to placebo in reducing post-traumatic neuropsychiatric outcomes in patients treated in the emergency department (ED) after motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). Approximately 180 patients will be enrolled and randomized across U.S. ED study sites. This trial builds on infrastructure and insights from UNC's $40 million AURORA initiative, a large-scale national research program aimed at improving outcomes for individuals affected by traumatic events. AURORA is backed by the NIH, One Mind, private foundations, and tech companies including Mindstrong Health and Verily Life Sciences, a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google's parent company). Tonix aims to address the significant unmet need for early treatment of ASR in both civilian and military trauma populations. #proactiveinvestors #tonixpharmaceuticalsholdingcorp #nasdaq #tnxp #Biotech #MPOXVaccine #Smallpox #TNX801 #VaccineDevelopment #ClinicalTrials #PharmaceuticalNews #MedicalResearch #WHO #GlobalHealth #InfectiousDiseases #Biopharma #ProactiveInvestors

In episode 550 of ADHD reWired, Eric Tivers sits down with Dr. Shannan Palma to explore Decide—a suite of AI-powered decision-support tools built by and for neurodivergent brains. Throughout this conversation, you'll hear about: How Decide leverages AI (Gemini and large language models) to help with everyday choices and multi-step tasks. The story behind IT Assistive Technologies and the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network. Real-world examples of “decision fatigue” and how Decide's guided and randomized features ease choice paralysis. The balance between AI assistance and human insight—and why a trusting, well-prompted tool can feel like a personal neurodivergent life coach. Pricing, privacy, and the community-focused mission: 85 percent of ITI's profits fund disability-led initiatives. Bonus segments on Pride Month, coaching groups, virtual coworking, and how to get involved with ADHD reWired's summer programs. Use these show notes to get a quick overview, find useful links, and discover why Decide might become your new go-to when you're stuck choosing dinner, figuring out a daily routine, or simply need a gentle “nudge” to move forward. Episode Summary Dr. Shannan Palma—co-founder of Decide and co-director of the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network—joins Eric to unpack how tools designed by autistic and ADHD adults can transform decision making for all of us. Shannan shares her own late autism and ADHD diagnoses, the challenges she faced finding resources after getting “the piece of paper,” and how a 48-hour hackathon sparked a project that won first prize and secured nearly $400 k in grant funding. From door-dash dilemmas to life-altering choices (like whether to adopt a foster dog), Decide offers two core modes: Randomized Choice Generator Users create custom lists (e.g., favorite restaurants, daily routines) and assign energy costs. The app selects an option based on your current energy level—no more breakfast indecision or “what to watch next” paralysis. Guided Decision Assistance A series of friendly, “affirmative” prompts mirror a real-time coach. By reflecting back your own criteria (energy, resources, priorities), Decide delivers a percentage-confidence recommendation and rationale—so you can make a defensible, informed choice without overthinking. Along the way, Shannan emphasizes the importance of privacy (your data always belongs to you), ethical AI (focusing on “do no harm”), and how Decide's freemium model avoids the “ADHD tax” by offering 10 free guided decisions per month. Premium access is available for $4.99/month, but you can cancel at any time without losing progress. Key Takeaways Why “Decision Fatigue” Matters: Neurodivergent brains often struggle with countless small choices (e.g., “What's for dinner?”). Decide's randomized generator isn't just for fun—it reduces executive-function load by factoring in your energy level and pre-ranked options. Guided Mode = Personalized Neurodivergent Coaching: Instead of writing complex prompts for ChatGPT or Claude, Decide asks you targeted yes/no/unsure questions. Once you answer, it gives a clear recommendation (with a confidence score) plus a brief “why,” so you trust your decision-making process. Built by Autistic + ADHD Makers: After Shannan's late autism diagnosis, she realized few supports existed for lower-visibility autistic adults. A 48-hour hackathon (Give Back Hack Columbus) brought together autistic and ADHD engineers, designers, and researchers—leading to Decide's prototype and subsequent $400 k grant from Ohio's Department of Developmental Disabilities. Community-First Funding Model: 85 percent of any IT Assistive Technologies' profits flow back to the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network (ASR). ASR focuses on autonomy and resources for autistic adults—rather than caregiver research—aiming to expand capacity and economic inclusion across the lifespan. Privacy & Data Rights: Decide won't train AI on your personal data, and you retain full ownership of anything you input. Future plans include an opt-in research repository for autistic/ADHD lifespan data—governed by community safeguards.

Day of Arafah: A Glimpse of Qiyamah

Welcome back to Road to Hajj – a short series giving you a simple, practical overview of the Hajj journey. This isn't a deep dive or fiqh breakdown, just a companion to help you reflect on what each day of Hajj means.Today is the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah — the Day of ‘Arafah.Let's quickly recap: yesterday, on the 8th, the hujjaj doing Tamattu‘ re-entered ihram. Those performing Ifrād or Qirānwere already in ihram. Depending on their package, many hujjaj moved to Mina, but some may have gone straight to ‘Arafah for logistical reasons. That's okay — going to Mina on the 8th is sunnah, not a requirement.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.So what's special about today?The Day of ‘Arafah is the core of Hajj. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Al-Ḥajju ‘Arafah” — “Hajj is ‘Arafah.”If you miss the wuqūf — the standing at ‘Arafah — your Hajj is invalid.Wuqūf simply means to remain at the plains of ‘Arafah anytime between Dhuhr on the 9th and Fajr on the 10th. Whether you're in a tent, under an umbrella, or just standing in the open — if you're present in ‘Arafah during that window, you've fulfilled the rukun.Most hujjaj will pray Dhuhr and ‘Asr combined and shortened — two rak‘āt each. After the prayer and a brief khuṭbah, the real focus begins: du‘ā. This is the day to pour your heart out to Allah.The Prophet ﷺ made du‘ā from Dhuhr until Maghrib. In fact, this is the only day where du‘ā takes precedence over everything — even Ṣalāh. This is the day when Allah frees more people from Hellfire than any other day.And it's powerful. If you're there, you'll see millions standing shoulder to shoulder, crying, whispering, begging Allah for mercy, for forgiveness, for guidance, for whatever is in their hearts.It truly feels like a rehearsal for Yawm al-Qiyāmah — the Day of Judgment.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.But here's something that surprises people: even at Hajj, not everyone's experience is the same. Some are in VIP tents with buffet spreads and private toilets. Others are in basic tents. Some have no tents — just an umbrella and the open sky.You might think: “Wait, isn't Hajj supposed to make everyone equal?”But even on Yawm al-Qiyāmah, there's no absolute equality. Some will be under Allah's shade. Others will be in distress. What separates us there is not money — it's our deeds.So just because someone is in a five-star tent today doesn't mean they're in a five-star place on the Day of Judgment. And just because you're under the sun now doesn't mean you're far from Allah's shade then.Let that sink in.Now, the most recommended du‘ā today is what the Prophet ﷺ recited most on this day:لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌLā ilāha illa Allah, waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu 'l-mulku wa lahu 'l-ḥamdu, wa huwa ‘alā kulli shay'in qadīr.For those of us not at Hajj this year — don't miss out.The righteous from the tābi‘īn would still honour this day. They would fast, and from ‘Asr to Maghrib, they would intensify their du‘ā. Let us do the same. Wherever we are, use these hours to reconnect with Allah. It's the best day of the year to ask.Lastly — why is it called ‘Arafah?It goes back to Prophet Ibrāhīm عليه السلام. On the 8th — the Day of Tarwiyah — he saw the dream of sacrificing his son. He spent the day reflecting: Is this really from Allah? What does it mean?On the 9th — the Day of ‘Arafah — he understood. He knew. ‘Arafa means “to know.” He approached his son, told him the vision, and both father and son submitted to Allah's will.So this day is about realisation. It's about recognising our purpose. Knowing who we are: servants of Allah.Today is the day we remember what we were created for. To obey. To serve. To return to Him — purified, humbled, and changed.May Allah accept the Hajj of all our hujjaj.And for those of us not there — may Allah write Hajj for us soon, and accept our deeds this ‘Arafah.Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!

Under the Stars at Muzdalifah: A Night of Reflection

Welcome back to Road to Hajj — a simplified walk-through of what the hujjaj do each day of the Hajj journey.Now is Maghrib of the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah.In the day, the hujjaj spent the most important day of the year — the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah — at ‘Arafah. From Dhuhr to Maghrib, they stood in du‘a during wuqūf, the core act of Hajj. It's the day when most du‘as are answered and the most people are forgiven in the whole year.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.From Dhuhr to ‘Asr, many hujjaj make du‘a in their tents, and then as the sun softens, they come out and continue under the open sky. As Maghrib arrives, the emotional energy intensifies — the tears, the hands raised, the hearts laid bare.After sunset, they begin making their way to Muzdalifah. This journey — part of the wājib acts of Hajj — is done slowly and calmly. The Prophet ﷺ walked this path, holding the reins of his camel, al-Qaswa, making sure it moved gently.When they reach Muzdalifah, there's no specific ritual beyond remembrance — dhikr, istighfār. Allah says in the Qur'an:ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ النَّاسُ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ“Then depart from where the people depart and ask Allah for forgiveness…” [Al-Baqarah 2:199]So the hujjaj arrive, pray Maghrib and ‘Isha combined and shortened (Jam‘ wa Qaṣr), and then they rest. Not in tents or hotels — just on the bare earth, under the stars.It's what I call a five billion star experience.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Sleeping under the sky in Muzdalifah is powerful. You look up and see constellations with no city lights to drown them out. It's humbling. It strips you of your comforts, your titles, your privilege. Everyone sleeps on the same ground. No one steps aside for you. If someone needs to walk past, they walk over you. It's raw. It's real. It's levelling.And it reminds you of Yawm al-Qiyāmah. When we rise from our graves, there will be no resumes, no status, no CVs — just us and our deeds.But there's something deeper about these stars. Allah swears by them in Surah al-Wāqi‘ah:فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ، إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ“But nay, I swear by the setting of the stars — and indeed, it is a great oath if you only knew — that this is indeed a noble Qur'an.” [Al-Waqi‘ah 56:75–77]Why does Allah link the stars to the Qur'an?Think about it. If you don't know anything about stars, they're just beautiful lights in the sky — awe-inspiring, but directionless. But if you study them, they become a map. The Southern Cross, Orion's Belt — suddenly, you know which way is north, south, east, west.Similarly, the Qur'an. If you just listen, it's beautiful — the rhythm, the words, the recitation. But if you dig deeper, if you study it, reflect on it, it becomes a guide.At first glance, it might feel like a beautiful mess — one moment you're reading about the muttaqīn, the next about the disbelievers, then suddenly it jumps to stories of Prophet Adam, Bani Isra'il, then to Ibrahim.It's not structured like a typical book. But when you peel back the layers, you start seeing the divine cohesion. The structure. The flow. And how each story, each verse, is placed exactly where it needs to be.So the stars and the Qur'an — both are majestic, both guide. But only if we take the time to look deeper.Muzdalifah is that reminder.It tells us: slow down. Strip away the noise. Reconnect with the basics. Sleep under the stars. Reflect. Ask yourself: Who am I without all the labels? What matters when I'm lying on this ground beneath the sky?That's the essence of Hajj — a return to humility. To truth. To submission.So that's Muzdalifah — not glamorous, but glorious.We'll rest here until Fajr. After that, we'll make our way to Mina for the next major part of Hajj — the Jamrah.InshaAllah, we'll talk about that tomorrow.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!

This month is focused on neuroscience and your neurodiverse marriage! This entire month, we have elements brought in from LifeModel Works, Deeper Walk Ministries & Thrive Trainings, and those who are ministry partner friends! Today is Amy H. Glazer.Our topic begins with Fear Bonds, and we took some questions that you, the listeners, had on this that include:How to reduce the intensity of fear bonds when in a relationship that has ongoing trauma or reminders of the fear bonds?   How do you process an emotion without amplifying it? When I hear "return to joy," it feels like "don't feel your feelings - just be happy", and I know that is not what you are saying, but what do I do with my feelings?  How do we identify fear bonds in our close relationships, which we are accustomed to that pattern?  Authenticity and connection- can you achieve that with someone you have had a fear bond with? Can a fear-bonded person really turn to a joy or love bond? That seems impossible after so many decades. About Amy from the Thrive Works Website:Amy is the Director of Development and Journey Groups Director for Alive & Well, author of the Journey Group curriculum, and Director of the Journey Group Leadership Community. She leads weekend and 5-day events for THRIVEtoday and has taught in the Advanced Counseling Ministry training at YWAM Kona, as well as the OneLife program at Southern Wesleyan University.

The Wry Guard, Session 12 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). Khuff- footwear Abu Bakr (ra) leads the Asr prayer. 'In Arabic "khuff"' refers to shoes that cover the entire foot including the ankle. Since khuff is translated as "leather socks" these days, people then confuse them with today's regular socks and, therefore, consider it permissible to wipe over them as well- (however) it is very clear from studying the Ahaadeeth that khuff were not socks, but rather shoe (i.e footwear used to walk with).

This isn't just another small model; it's a "Nano-plus" preview, a 4-billion parameter MatFormer (Matryoshka Transformer – how cool is that name?) model designed for mobile-first multimodal applications. The really slick part? It has a nested 2-billion parameter sub-model that can run entirely on phones or Chromebooks.Yam was particularly excited about this one, pointing out the innovative "model inside another model" design. The idea is you can use half the model, not depth-wise, but throughout the layers, for a smaller footprint without sacrificing too much. It accepts interleaved text, image, audio, and video, supports ASR and speech translation, and even ships with RAG and function-calling libraries for edge apps. With a 128K token window and responsible AI features baked in, Gemma 3n is looking like a powerful tool for on-device AI. Google claims it beats prior 4B mobile models on MMLU-Lite and MMMU-Mini. It's an early preview in Google AI Studio, but it definitely flies on mobile devices.Mistral & AllHands Unleash Devstral 24BThen we got a collaboration from Mistral and AllHands: Devstral, a 24-billion parameter, state-of-the-art open model focused on code. We've been waiting for Mistral to drop some open-source goodness, and this one didn't disappoint.Nisten was super hyped, noting it beats o3-Mini on SWE-bench verified – a tough benchmark! He called it "the first proper vibe coder that you can run on a 3090," which is a big deal for coders who want local power and privacy. This is a fantastic development for the open-source coding community.The Pre-I/O Tremors: OpenAI & Microsoft Set the StageAs we predicted, OpenAI couldn't resist dropping some news right before Google I/O.OpenAI's Codex Returns as an AgentOpenAI launched Codex – yes, that Codex, but reborn as an asynchronous coding agent. This isn't just a CLI tool anymore; it connects to GitHub, does pull requests, fixes bugs, and navigates your codebase. It's powered by a new coding model fine-tuned for large codebases and was SOTA on SWE Agent when it dropped. Funnily, the model is also called Codex, this time, Codex-1. And this gives us a perfect opportunity to talk about the emerging categories I'm seeing among Code Generator agents and tools:* IDE-based (Cursor, Windsurf): Live pair programming in your editor* Vibe coding (Lovable, Bolt, v0): "Build me a UI" style tools for non-coders* CLI tools (Claude Code, Codex-cli): Terminal-based assistants* Async agents (Claude Code, Jules, Codex, GitHub Copilot agent, Devin): Work on your repos while you sleep, open pull requests for you to review, asyncCodex (this new one) falls into category number 4, and with today's release, Cursor seems to also strive to get to category number 4 with background processing. Microsoft BUILD: Open Source Copilot and Copilot Agent ModeThen came Microsoft Build, their huge developer conference, with a flurry of announcements.The biggest one for me? GitHub Copilot's front-end code is now open source! The VS Code editor part was already open, but the Copilot integration itself wasn't. This is a massive move, likely a direct answer to the insane valuations of VS Code clones like Cursor. Now, you can theoretically clone GitHub Copilot with VS Code and swing for the fences.GitHub Copilot also launched as an asynchronous coding assistant, very similar in function to OpenAI's Codex, allowing it to be assigned tasks and create/update PRs. This puts Copilot right into category 4 of code assistants, and with the native Github Integration, they may actually have a leg up in this race!And if that wasn't enough, Microsoft is adding MCP (Model Context Protocol) support directly into the Windows OS. The implications of having the world's biggest operating system natively support this agentic protocol are huge.Google I/O: An "Ultra" Event Indeed!Then came Tuesday, and Google I/O. I was there in the thick of it, and folks, it was an absolute barrage. Google is shipping. The theme could have been "Ultra" for many reasons, as we'll see.First off, the scale: Google reported a 49x increase in AI usage since last year's I/O, jumping from 9 trillion tokens processed to a mind-boggling 480 trillion tokens. That's a testament to their generous free tiers and the explosion of AI adoption.Gemini 2.5 Pro & Flash: #1 and #2 LLMs on ArenaGemini 2.5 Flash got an update and is now #2 on the LMArena leaderboard (with Gemini 2.5 Pro still holding #1). Both Pro and Flash gained some serious new capabilities:* Deep Think mode: This enhanced reasoning mode is pushing Gemini's scores to new heights, hitting 84% on MMMU and topping LiveCodeBench. It's about giving the model more "time" to work through complex problems.* Native Audio I/O: We're talking real-time TTS in 24 languages with two voices, and affective dialogue capabilities. This is the advanced voice mode we've been waiting for, now built-in.* Project Mariner: Computer-use actions are being exposed via the Gemini API & Vertex AI for RPA partners. This started as a Chrome extension to control your browser and now seems to be a cloud-based API, allowing Gemini to use the web, not just browse it. This feels like Google teaching its AI to interact with the JavaScript-heavy web, much like they taught their crawlers years ago.* Thought Summaries: Okay, here's one update I'm not a fan of. They've switched from raw thinking traces to "thought summaries" in the API. We want the actual traces! That's how we learn and debug.* Thinking Budgets: Previously a Flash-only feature, token ceilings for controlling latency/cost now extend to Pro.* Flash Upgrade: 20-30% fewer tokens, better reasoning/multimodal scores, and GA in early June.Gemini Diffusion: Speed Demon for Code and MathThis one got Yam Peleg incredibly excited. Gemini Diffusion is a new approach, different from transformers, for super-speed editing of code and math tasks. We saw demos hitting 2000 tokens per second! While there might be limitations at longer contexts, its speed and infilling capabilities are seriously impressive for a research preview. This is the first diffusion model for text we've seen from the frontier labs, and it looks sick. Funny note, they had to slow down the demo video to actually show the diffusion process, because at 2000t/s - apps appear as though out of thin air!The "Ultra" Tier and Jules, Google's Coding AgentRemember the "Ultra event" jokes? Well, Google announced a Gemini Ultra tier for $250/month. This tops OpenAI's Pro plan and includes DeepThink access, a generous amount of VEO3 generation, YouTube Premium, and a whopping 30TB of storage. It feels geared towards creators and developers.And speaking of developers, Google launched Jules (jules.google)! This is their asynchronous coding assistant (Category 4!). Like Codex and GitHub Copilot Agent, it connects to your GitHub, opens PRs, fixes bugs, and more. The big differentiator? It's currently free, which might make it the default for many. Another powerful agent joins the fray!AI Mode in Search: GA and EnhancedAI Mode in Google Search, which we've discussed on the show before with Robby Stein, is now in General Availability in the US. This is Google's answer to Perplexity and chat-based search.But they didn't stop there:* Personalization: AI Mode can now connect to your Gmail and Docs (if you opt-in) for more personalized results.* Deep Search: While AI Mode is fast, Deep Search offers more comprehensive research capabilities, digging through hundreds of sources, similar to other "deep research" tools. This will eventually be integrated, allowing you to escalate an AI Mode query for a deeper dive.* Project Mariner Integration: AI Mode will be able to click into websites, check availability for tickets, etc., bridging the gap to an "agentic web."I've had a chat with Robby during I/O and you can listen to that interview at the end of the podcast.Veo3: The Undisputed Star of Google I/OFor me, and many others I spoke to, Veo3 was the highlight. This is Google's flagship video generation model, and it's on another level. (the video above, including sounds is completely one shot generated from VEO3, no processing or editing)* Realism and Physics: The visual quality and understanding of physics are astounding.* Natively Multimodal: This is huge. Veo3 generates native audio, including coherent speech, conversations, and sound effects, all synced perfectly. It can even generate text within videos.* Coherent Characters: Characters remain consistent across scenes and have situational awareness, who speaks when, where characters look.* Image Upload & Reference Ability: While image upload was closed for the demo, it has reference capabilities.* Flow: An editor for video creation using Veo3 and Imagen4 which also launched, allowing for stiching and continuous creation.I got access and created videos where Veo3 generated a comedian telling jokes (and the jokes were decent!), characters speaking with specific accents (Indian, Russian – and they nailed it!), and lip-syncing that was flawless. The situational awareness, the laugh tracks kicking in at the right moment... it's beyond just video generation. This feels like a world simulator. It blew through the uncanny valley for me. More on Veo3 later, because it deserves its own spotlight.Imagen4, Virtual Try-On, and XR Glasses* Imagen4: Google's image generation model also got an upgrade, with extra textual ability.* Virtual Try-On: In Google Shopping, you can now virtually try on clothes. I tried it; it's pretty cool and models different body types well.* XR AI Glasses from Google: Perhaps the coolest, but most futuristic, announcement. AI-powered glasses with an actual screen, memory, and Gemini built-in. You can talk to it, it remembers things for you, and interacts with your environment. This is agentic AI in a very tangible form.Big Company LLMs + APIs: The Beat Goes OnThe news didn't stop with Google.OpenAI (acqui)Hires Jony Ive, Launches "IO" for HardwareThe day after I/O, Sam Altman confirmed that Jony Ive, the legendary designer behind Apple's iconic products, is joining OpenAI. He and his company, LoveFrom, have jointly created a new company called "IO" (yes, IO, just like the conference) which is joining OpenAI in a stock deal reportedly worth $6.5 billion. They're working on a hardware device, unannounced for now, but expected next year. This is a massive statement of intent from OpenAI in the hardware space.Legendary iPhone analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shed some light on the possible device, it won't have a screen, as Jony wants to "wean people off screens"... funny right? They are targeting 2027 for mass production, which is really interesting as 2027 is when most big companies expect AGI to be here. "The current prototype is slightly larger than AI Pin, with a form factor comparable to iPod Shuffle, with one intended use cases is to wear it around your neck, with microphones and cameras for environmental detection" LMArena Raises $100M Seed from a16zThis one raised some eyebrows. LMArena, the go-to place for vibe-checking LLMs, raised a $100 million seed round from Andreessen Horowitz. That's a huge number for a seed, reminiscent of Stability AI's early funding. It also brings up questions about how a VC-backed startup maintains impartiality as a model evaluation platform. Interesting times ahead for leaderboards, how they intent to make 100x that amount to return to investors. Very curious.

Het is uitkijken geblazen met de Amerikaanse rente. De die loopt hard op, omdat de financiële markten niet veel zien in het Amerikaanse belastingplan. "Het verlies van 'Liberation Day' is ingelopen", zegt Koen Bender van Mercurius Vermogensbeheer. "Het positieve wat je erover kan zeggen is dat die oplopende rente Trump weer in het gareel kan duwen", aldus Koen. Ook Marc Langeveld van Econopolis hoopt dat de obligatiemarkt Trump bij zinnen zal brengen. "Maar het belastingplan zal het begrotingstekort sterk doen oplopen. Niet voor niets heeft Moody's de kredietstatus van Amerika verlaagd. De markt leeft tussen angst en vrees. Het kan zijn dat de wispelturigheid van Trump de economie en de bedrijfsresultaten in de tweede helft van het jaar echt zal raken." Over Aegon zijn beide experts ook niet echt te spreken. "Aegon verbrandt al 25 jaar geld", is het oordeel van Koen naar aanleiding van de kwartaalcijfers. Marc is het daarmee eens en zet zijn geld dan liever in op NN Group of ASR. Verder in de podcast aandacht voor Nvidia, Xiaomi, CATL en de cijfers van o.a. Home Depot en Baidu. Natuurlijk bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tip.

Discussion: Dr. Stephanie Holmes and Dr. Sean Hirt discuss their clinical training and how neither was trained in neurodiversity despite the update in thinking about the Autism Spectrum (DSM-IV Asperger's). Dr. Holmes and Dr. Hirt discuss that applying neurotypical marriage models to Neurodiverse couples is not only not helpful but potentially harmful. Dr. Hirt discusses the role of the central nervous system and its impact on regulation and how typical marriage work may disrupt both partners. Have you heard from your pastor or Christian counselor- Marriage is Marriage, or Marriage is supposed to be hard. Or you tell your counselor you are a neurodiverse couple, or you attend an intensive, and they tell you that your neurodiversity doesn't matter- their model will work if you have enough faith?Let's Discuss That! About Our Guest: Dr. Hirt has an array of clinical experience in a variety of settings, including private practice, residential treatment centers, non-public schools, and emergency shelters. He is particularly sought out for his expertise in treating and addressing anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, behavioral issues, and autism spectrum disorder in children and adolescents. Other areas of focus include substance abuse, life-transition issues & trauma-related disorders.In therapy, Dr. Hirt uses empirically driven modalities to address the client's needs. He derives techniques from client-centered, cognitive-behavioral theory, attachment theory, as well as family systems. Dr. Hirt works closely with all clients to develop an integrative, yet client-centered approach to treatment. More specifically, Dr. Hirt works with individuals to assist in developing the abilities and resources needed to reach goals, overcome hardships, and improve life satisfaction. When not working, you will often find him at parks and trails with family and friends. Dr. Hirt enjoys hiking, biking, running, and rock climbing! He also enjoys watching sports and traveling. However, his favorite pastime of all is spending time with his wife, daughters, and dog (Frank).Looking for Assessment: https://www.hirtpsychology.com/sean-hirt

Real strength shows up when life knocks you down and you choose to rise with gratitude, faith, and community. Dr. Douglas Burton shares how a life-altering diagnosis transformed not just his health journey, but his entire perspective on what it means to truly live well. From the operating room to the other side of the patient experience, he opens his heart about the emotional weight of caregiving, the spiritual awakening that came through illness, and the small, intentional shifts that have brought him greater peace than ever before. His story is a powerful reminder that joy is not found in doing more—it's found in slowing down, showing up, and surrounding yourself with love. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and creating space for joy can be more healing than constant striving. Practicing daily gratitude builds emotional resilience and a deeper sense of peace. Community support is a critical part of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Faith and surrender can bring clarity and calm when facing uncertainty or illness. True healing isn't just physical—it's also spiritual, relational, and deeply personal.   About Dr. Douglas Burton: Douglas Burton, M.D. is the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He received his undergraduate degree from Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS and his MD from the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, TX. He completed his residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center and completed spine fellowships at The Texas Back Institute in Plano, TX and at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. In 2003 he was awarded the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professorship. Dr. Burton's clinical practice is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of complex spinal disorders in both pediatric and adult patients. In addition to his primary practice location at the University of Kansas Hospital, he also travels to both Hutchinson and Salina, KS for a monthly outreach clinic to provide health care to patients in rural parts of Kansas. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Orthopaedic Association, the Interurban Orthopaedic Society, the North American Spine Society and the Scoliosis Research Society, where he is the incoming Chair-Elect of the Research Council and member of the Board of Directors. He served as President of the Federation of Spine Associations from 2018 to 2019. In 2019, The American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons announced a new partnership, the American Spine Registry (ASR), which will be jointly owned and developed by both organizations. Dr. Burton currently serves as co-chair of the Data Use Committee for the ASR. His research interests include the development of disease specific health related quality of life instruments and the study of complications and outcomes associated with spinal deformity surgery. He has authored or co-authored over 236 peer reviewed publications and serves as a Deputy Editor of Spine Deformity, the official journal of the Scoliosis Research Society. In 2006 he helped found and remains on the Executive Council of the International Spine Study Group. This is a consortium of spinal deformity surgeons and researchers at over 15 top academic centers in the United States and Canada with collaborators in Europe and Japan. They have been performing prospective and retrospective studies on surgical and non-surgical Adult Spinal Deformity patients since their inception.   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!

‘Toezichthouder moet strenger zijn over verrot verdienmodel van Aegon'

De vandaag gepresenteerde kwartaalcijfers laten volgens macro-econoom Arnoud Boot duidelijk zien dat de verzekeraar definitief afscheid heeft genomen van Nederland als bedrijfsmatig vaderland. Desondanks is de toezichthouder in Nederland volgens Boot moreel verplicht om het bedrijf in de gaten te houden, aangezien Aegon nog steeds grootaandeelhouder is van verzekeraar ASR. Sinds wanneer hebben bedrijfscijfers met macro-economie te maken? Dat draait om de tegenstelling tussen de financiële en de reële economie, omdat bedrijfscijfers laten zien waar en hoe in de wereld geld wordt verdiend. Banken en verzekeraars, zoals Aegon, vestigen zich altijd op plekken waar ze kunnen meeliften op het geld dat – spreekwoordelijk – voorbij stroomt. De cijfers van Aegon richten zich nu vooral op de World Financial Group, een Amerikaans dochterbedrijf van Aegon. Daar werken op dit moment 88.000 verkoopagenten die op provisiebasis zoveel mogelijk polissen moeten verkopen. Het gaat om levensverzekeringen – wij zouden ze woekerpolissen noemen – waarbij er meer geld in de zakken van de verkoper verdwijnt dan dat de consument eraan heeft. Maar dat doen ze in de VS, en niet meer hier. Ze zijn bewust naar Amerika gegaan – een land zonder echte consumentenbescherming. Inmiddels lopen er talloze rechtszaken tegen de World Financial Group. Ze zoeken bewust de grenzen op: dat ís hun strategie. Ze richten zich op markten waar ze hun producten gemakkelijk kwijt kunnen, en daar zit een enorm verdienmodel achter. Datzelfde gebeurt in Brazilië. We hebben het hier over levensverzekeringen en pensioenproducten die worden verkocht aan de onderkant van de Amerikaanse middenklasse. En ik vind het belangrijk om die voortdurende frictie tussen de financiële economie en de reële economie te blijven benoemen. Als we in Nederland constateren dat een bank qua winst achterblijft bij een andere bank, dan moet je je afvragen waar dat door komt. Daar kun je moreel wat van vinden, maar kan je er iets tegen doen? Aegon, met het juridische hoofdkantoor in Bermuda, heeft zijn Nederlandse activiteiten verkocht aan ASR, een gerespecteerde Nederlandse verzekeraar. Aegon bezit 29,99 procent van de aandelen van ASR en is daarmee de grootste aandeelhouder. Als Nederlandse toezichthouder moet je ASR de vraag stellen welke invloed die grootste aandeelhouder op het beleid uitoefent. Wordt ASR door Aegon gedwongen om bochten af te snijden? Wordt de horizon van het bedrijf verkort? Het verrotte, huidige verdienmodel van Aegon staat immers haaks op de Nederlandse wetgeving. En ik vind dat je een Nederlands bedrijf daar wél op moet kunnen aanspreken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Just the Guys, where a handful of neurodiverse men get real about growth, relationships, and life post-diagnosis — all without a script, but with a ton of heart.In this reflective and candid episode, the guys dive into the evolution of their emotional intelligence and how their journeys have led to stronger relationships, especially with their partners and kids. The catalyst? A missed celebrity interview and a realization: if flying fish exist, maybe change and empathy aren't so impossible after all.We follow Jeremy, Greg, and Dan as they discuss what transformation looks like in real life. Jeremy opens up about becoming a more proactive and thoughtful parent and husband, learning to share the mental load and prioritize emotional presence. Greg brings in stories from marriage and retirement, revealing how putting “relationship before task” has become his new mantra. Dan brings it full circle with powerful insights on values, intentionality, and what love looks like, choosing family over hockey — literally.Throughout the conversation, themes of vulnerability, emotional attunement, and the gradual embrace of empathy surface repeatedly. They compare personal growth to planting seeds — change doesn't happen overnight, but with daily intention and care, real transformation takes root.Key takeaways:• Empathy isn't just possible for neurodiverse men — it's learnable and life-changing.• Change starts with being open to a different version of yourself.• Small, intentional choices create the foundation for a lasting connection.• Relationships thrive not when we're perfect, but when we show up — emotionally and consistently.This episode is equal parts heart, humor, and hope. So, whether you're neurodivergent yourself or walking alongside someone who is, you'll leave with a little more faith that growth is not only possible — it's inevitable, if you're willing to show up and keep planting seeds.

That is part of it in a literal sense, but being 'naked and ashamed' also means being vulnerable with each other and not afraid. By the time couples find out about their neurodiversity, there are toxic patterns, and friendship is lost because everyone is focused on their own needs and what is missing. I often wonder if couples even like each other anymore or just on the this religious quest for the marriage some pastor or book promised missing the point- at one point Adam & Eve were naked and unashamed- connected to God, their true identity and each other in a vulnerable way before the fall/sin. We believe a couple's quest is to achieve as much as they can in a fallen world, being "naked and unashamed," and to be unafraid in their marriage relationship, moving from a scarcity mindset or fixed mindset to a growth and attachment mindset.

In this lively conversation, the “Just the Guys” team explores how crucial context can be—whether you're deciphering a strange image, navigating a complex relationship, or fielding unexpected life events. They kick things off by sharing news of the new book *Uniquely Us* and then dive into fascinating parallels between fooling AI systems with “adversarial examples” and how our assumptions can mislead us in everyday life. By using an analogy of seeing a “penguin in the desert” (something bizarre or out of place), they illustrate how missing details can trigger confusion, misunderstandings, or emotional reactions.Throughout the discussion, they highlight the importance of curiosity and humility to uncover the “why” behind surprising information—much like slowing down to determine if that shape in the dark is an intruder or just a coat on a chair. They also introduce practical techniques (like the C.A.L.M. method) to help us pause, gather context, and respond gracefully rather than reacting rashly. It's an honest, lighthearted look at how we can avoid “kicking the penguin” in our personal and professional relationships by learning to seek more information, accept when we've made mistakes, and ultimately prioritize connection over “being right.”Mentioned in This Episode:- Uniquely Us, a new release about neurodiverse Christian marriages- Adversarial examples in AI and what they reveal about our own blind spots- The C.A.L.M. method (Connect, Assess, Lean in, Move forward) for managing emotional triggers- Why “winning the relationship” matters more than winning any single argumentHave a topic you'd like the guys to unpack?

With over 40 years in the auto industry Chuck has the know-how and love for the industry that has enabled PartsEdge to identify the biggest needs of dealerships.Understanding the Complexity of Parts ReturnsIn the automotive parts industry, managing the return process can often be an intricate task. Dealerships grapple with multiple criteria when dealing with parts manufacturers. The need for efficiency is paramount. However, not all manufacturers offer straightforward processes, which can frustrate dealerships. On the Parts Management Podcast, Chuck Hartle sheds light on the different return processes across manufacturers, with a keen focus on Toyota.Toyota's Simplified Return ProcessToyota Motor Corp (TMC) stands out with a notably streamlined process for parts returns. Chuck Hartle emphasizes the simplicity of Toyota's criteria during the podcast discussion. Toyota dealerships benefit from clear guidelines, reducing the hassle often associated with parts returns. Toyota's approach offers a model that many dealerships wish other manufacturers would adopt.The three clear criteria for returns are embraced by Toyota dealerships. The first criterion is for parts purchased between 10 to 17 months ago, allowing returns without a receipt for items over $8. Secondly, for parts older than 18 months, dealers can return them but incur a 20% restocking fee. Lastly, the TORA program enables returns of special orders within 90 days.The Challenges Across Other ManufacturersWhile Toyota offers a streamlined approach, other manufacturers maintain more complex systems. This complexity often leads to frustration amongst parts managers. Chuck highlights this during the podcast and mentions the difficulties dealerships face when working with manufacturers like GM and Chrysler. These brands often lack sufficient return allowances, further complicating the process.Ford also exhibits a more conditional approach. Their RIM program involves accruing money over 60 days, adding layers to the process. These varied criteria across manufacturers demand managers to apply rigorous logic and organization.——————————————–This show is powered by PartsEdge: Your go-to solution for transforming dealership parts inventory into a powerhouse of profitability.
