How to Market to Cybersecurity's Most Elusive Buyers: AI, Emotion, and the Human Touch - Interview with Gianna Whitver and Maria Velasquez | Cyber Marketing Con 2025 Coverage | On Location with Sean Martin and Marco CiappelliCyberMarketingCon 2025 In Person & Virtual https://www.cybermarketingconference.comDec 7-10, 2025 in Austin, Texas Why Cybersecurity Marketing Demands a Different PlaybookThe cybersecurity industry presents a paradox for marketers. While practitioners work with cutting-edge technology, traditional marketing approaches consistently fall flat. Gianna Whitver and Maria Velasquez, co-founders of the Cybersecurity Marketing Society, have spent six years understanding why—and they're sharing those insights at CyberMarketingCon 2025 this December in Austin.The challenge begins with the audience itself. Security professionals operate under constant pressure, actively preventing threats while juggling competing priorities. This stress creates an environment where patience for marketing noise evaporates instantly. Unlike other industries where buyers might browse vendor websites or respond to cold outreach, cybersecurity practitioners have both the technical sophistication to evade tracking and the motivation to control their own buying journey."Our buyer is highly elusive," Whitver explains. "They're saving the world and their companies from threats. When vendors reach out, it's an interruption to critical work." This dynamic forces marketers to rethink fundamental assumptions about how business gets done.The numbers tell part of the story. With over 5,000 cybersecurity vendors flooding the market, standing out based solely on technical specifications has become nearly impossible. Many solutions address similar problems with comparable features. The differentiator, Velasquez argues, isn't in the technology itself but in how that technology transforms the buyer's daily experience."We have to shed that technical layer and go for the emotion," Velasquez says. "If they buy our product, how is it gonna make them feel? Are they gonna get their weekends back with family? Are they actually gonna go to sleep without stress?" This human-centered approach represents a fundamental shift from the feeds-and-speeds messaging that dominated cybersecurity marketing for years.The industry is witnessing what Velasquez calls an "evolution slash revolution" in marketing tactics. Humor, entertainment, and authentic storytelling are replacing dense whitepapers as the first touch point. The goal isn't to dumb down complex technology but to create space for meaningful engagement by first addressing the emotional reality of a stressful profession.Trust remains the currency that matters most. Peer recommendations carry exponentially more weight than any advertising campaign. Security professionals rely on trusted networks to validate purchasing decisions, making community building and genuine thought leadership more valuable than aggressive outreach. Word-of-mouth referrals from colleagues who have seen real results trump even the most sophisticated demand generation campaigns.The emergence of AI as a marketing buzzword presents both opportunity and risk. Whitver notes that countless vendors now position themselves as "AI-native" or "agentic AI" solutions without articulating meaningful differentiation. "If that's what you remember about their product, what do you actually do?" she asks. The challenge for marketers is communicating AI's business value without contributing to the noise.CyberMarketingCon 2025 addresses these challenges head-on. Running December 7-10 in Austin, the conference brings together more than 550 marketing professionals for hands-on workshops, peer learning, and practical strategy sessions. Dedicated tracks cover brand, demand generation, operations, communications, and product marketing, with special summits for CEOs and sales leaders.Hands-on AI workshops represent a conference highlight. Attendees can build marketing agents using n8n, explore Clay for go-to-market planning, or participate in a marketer-focused capture-the-flag hacking exercise. The "Marketing Time Machine" theme balances timeless fundamentals with forward-looking innovation, acknowledging that effective marketing requires both solid foundations and experimental thinking.What sets CyberMarketingCon apart is its community-first philosophy. Despite 40-50% year-over-year growth, organizers prioritize maintaining an intimate, reunion-style atmosphere. Many CMOs bring entire teams for what becomes a working offsite, with different members attending specialized sessions then synthesizing insights into unified strategies.The conference's success metric reflects this philosophy. "Our KPI is: is it worth your time?" Whitver says. In an industry where time represents the scarcest resource, that might be the most important question of all.For cybersecurity marketers navigating an increasingly complex landscape, CyberMarketingCon offers something rare—a chance to learn from peers facing identical challenges, build practical skills, and remember that even in a technical industry, it's humans talking to humans. CyberMarketingCon 2025 In Person & Virtual https://www.cybermarketingconference.comDec 7-10, 2025 in Austin, Texas GUEST:Gianna WhitverCo-Founder & CEO, Cybersecurity Marketing Society | Cybersecurity GTM Industry Resource | Cybersecurity Marketing | Bees & Cybersecurity | Podcast Host | Community | (I like to build things & laugh a lot & tell jokes)Maria Velasquez

Every November, the aroma of sizzling pancakes and sausage fills the air in Winchester, Virginia, signaling the arrival of the much-anticipated Winchester Kiwanis Community Pancake Day. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Kevin Brandiff, Executive Director of Froggy's Closet, and Carleton Rio, Co-chair of the event, to explore how this beloved tradition does more than just serve breakfast—it strengthens the fabric of the community. Froggy's Closet: More Than Just Supplies Kevin passionately describes the mission of Froggy's Closet, an organization founded in 2009 to support foster families and, over time, all families in need. The nonprofit provides everything from cribs and strollers to clothing, diapers, and books, ensuring that children from birth to age 18 have what they need. As the need in the community grows, so does Froggy's reach, thanks in part to the generosity of local residents and events like Community Pancake Day. Kiwanis Club: Serving Children, Supporting Causes Carleton explains that the Kiwanis Club of Winchester has a clear objective: to support organizations that benefit children. Each year, the club selects a major beneficiary for the spring and fall Pancake Day. This fall, Froggy's Closet is the recipient. The event not only raises funds but also awareness, giving organizations like Froggy's a platform to share their story and needs with the broader community. Behind the Scenes: Organizing Pancake Day Transitioning to the logistics, both guests highlight the teamwork and dedication required to pull off such a large event. With seasoned volunteers and a well-oiled committee, the Kiwanis Club ensures that everything runs smoothly—from flipping thousands of pancakes to brewing coffee in cauldrons and serving up 2,000 pounds of sausage. The event serves as a reunion for locals, a place where old friends reconnect and new friendships are forged. Giving Back: How the Community Can Help Moreover, Pancake Day is about more than just food. Attendees are encouraged to bring donations—monetary or in-kind, such as wipes, board games, and clothing—to support Froggy's Closet. The funds raised not only benefit the main recipient but also trickle down to other local organizations, amplifying the impact across Winchester and surrounding counties. A Lasting Impact As the conversation wraps up, Janet, Kevin, and Carleton reflect on the deeper meaning of Pancake Day. It's a celebration of service, tradition, and the power of community. Whether you're a first-time attendee or a seasoned volunteer, everyone leaves with a sense of belonging and the knowledge that their participation helps children and families thrive. Winchester's Kiwanis Community Pancake Day is more than a fundraiser—it's a testament to what a caring, connected community can achieve. Through the combined efforts of dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and passionate leaders, Pancake Day continues to make a difference, one plate at a time.

The narrative culminates in the critical deposition phase, where the project's technical findings and procedures were rigorously examined. Attendees will gain invaluable insights into the paramount importance of thorough documentation and strict adherence to peer-reviewed industry standards like the IICRCS-500 when managing complex restoration projects, particularly those involving potential insurance litigation. In conclusion, the 'end' of this saga underscores how diligently prepared documentation serves as essential evidence, validating proper restoration processes and navigating legal challenges often faced in large-scale, disputed claims.

We apologise for this and thank you for your understanding.This episode explores fandom theory, participatory culture, and how these ideas came alive at the Academic Archers Dum Tee Dum Mash Up weekend in 2023.We the Fandom: Applying Fandom Theory to the Academic Archers Dum Tee Dum Mash Up Weekend 2023 - Caroline BirksHenry Jenkins's theory of participatory culture highlights how digital technologies enable audiences to share information, create, and circulate fan works. At the 2023 Birmingham Mash Up weekend, Caroline saw this in action.Examples include fan appropriation through fanfiction, with eroticised predictions of Chelsea and Freddie, moral realignments like Alan's disapproval of the church window, refocalisations centring minor characters and even trees, and recontextualisations such as panels on men's mental health. Fan creativity also extended to craft, with works made for and during the event.The weekend also illustrated Jenkins's concept of audience–producer convergence. Attendees engaged with producers and podcasters, from DumTeeDum's singalong to One Stiletto in the Grave, as well as presentations revealing the soundscape of The Archers. Social media, especially the Sunday Tweetalong, showcased how fans circulate and distribute their work.Finally, Caroline considers Jenkins's optimism that fandom and digital technology can effect wider social change. The joy of shared fandom, and the charitable fundraising at these gatherings, demonstrates the power of fan communities to create connection and do good.About the speakerCaroline Birks is a writer and researcher with a focus on fandom culture. She has a chapter in Fandom Culture and The Archers and has long explored how communities of fans create meaning and connection through shared storytelling.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has been remarkably active over the past week with a series of high-profile contributions across science, wellness, and media. According to the latest Jump Rope Digest from Elite Jumps, Dr. Huberman has sparked a new fitness mini-trend by advocating for adults to start skipping rope again, discussing neurobiological benefits for coordination and longevity. This has generated a flurry of fitness influencer activity on Instagram and TikTok referencing Huberman's advice, quickly turning his suggestions into one of October's most shared wellness tips.In podcasting news, Huberman just dropped a substantive Huberman Lab episode on October 27th, focusing on the lymphatic system's vital role in overall health and even appearance. He explained practical science-backed methods for supporting lymphatic health, including movement protocols, breath techniques, hydration strategies, and even facial massage tools. This episode has already hit a strong public nerve, racking up comments across X and Reddit, with #HubermanLymph trending as listeners post before-and-after pics of their “de-puffed” faces, crediting his protocol. Men's Journal and several science blogs picked up his key points, giving headlines like ‘Andrew Huberman Demystifies Your Body's Detox System with Surprising Tools'.Business-wise, Huberman was a featured speaker at Modular 2025 in Atlanta on October 22. Sharing the bill with Casey Neistat, he addressed executives on merging neuroscience with authentic content creation in the age of AI, emphasizing human emotional engagement as the antidote to algorithmic blandness. Attendees described his remarks as “TED-quality,” and his backstage moment with Neistat drew buzz from both the neuroscience and creator communities.Across his social channels, Huberman has also doubled down on the science of gratitude, summarizing new peer-reviewed research on how gratitude can measurably boost mental and physical health. Clips from his October 22 “Science of Gratitude” essentials episode are being widely shared on Threads and LinkedIn, where he's amassed hundreds of thousands of views and sparked debates among clinicians regarding best gratitude practices.There have been no credible negative headlines or controversies involving Huberman in the past few days. Some speculative posts on anonymous forums reference unnamed business partnerships, but these remain unconfirmed with no reputable source validation. All in all, Huberman has had a week packed with biographical significance: influencing mainstream health behavior, shaping business thinking around neuroscience, and driving public conversations on both physical and mental wellness, while remaining free of controversy according to current verified reports.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Menopause is often portrayed as a period of decline, but what if it could be reframed as an awakening? Join co-authors Dr. Patricia Singh, psychotherapist and psychedelic integration specialist, and Kelly McGinty, nurse practitioner specializing in hormonal and integrative wellness, for a groundbreaking exploration of menopause as a transformative threshold. This session will delve into how psychedelics, especially psilocybin, offer a radical new perspective, easing cognitive rigidity, reducing internal narratives of decline, and fostering emotional and spiritual growth. Attendees will gain fresh insights on navigating midlife with strength, clarity, and empowerment. About Mycelopause: Uncovering the Magic of Menopause with Psilocybin Co-authored by Dr. Trish Singh, PhD, LPCC and Kelly McGinty, CNP, MSN, Mycelopause is not your typical menopause guide. It's a rebellious, witty, and deeply insightful journey into the intersection of psychedelics, perimenopause, and personal transformation. Combining science, storytelling, and satirical humor, we explore how psilocybin and other holistic tools can help reframe menopause from a crisis to a rite of passage. Kelly McGinty is a nurse practitioner accredited by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, with a Master's in Nursing from Gonzaga University. After over a decade as an emergency department NP, Kelly sought holistic approaches to address pandemic-related burnout and mental health crises. Her transformative experiences with psychedelics led her to study psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Kelly integrates Reiki, herbology, and Druidic traditions to help clients—particularly first responders, end-of-life patients, and those with treatment-resistant conditions—achieve holistic wellness in mind, body, and spirit. Dr. Patricia Singh, Ph.D., LPCC, is an independently licensed mental health counselor in New Mexico and California with over 25 years of experience in behavioral health. She holds a doctorate in Mind-Body Medicine with a specialization in Integrative Mental Health and is certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy through the California Institute of Integral Studies.

"On a scale of one to 10, how afraid are you?" That's a conversation starter for the new youth discussion forum Ha'ikar, founded by two Toronto friends, which has served as a support group for Canadian Jews under 40 who have been affected by Oct. 7. A few months after Oct. 7, the group started meeting monthly at Temple Har Zion in Thornhill, Ont., where co-founders Jacob Weiss and Jay Ginsherman had bonded as kids. They admit that they themselves never would have come to Jewish programs like Ha'ikar, but with the explosion of antisemitism in Canada over the past two years, the pair wanted to create a space for young people to unburden their fears and look for community. Since its inception, Ha'ikar has held meet-ups in two other synagogues, and spawned an adjacent group for older Jewish adults called Ha'ikar Zahav. The founders try to keep politics out of their conversations, instead allowing attendees to disagree respectfully. Attendees share anecdotes and confessions, like how their "Judaism was not taken seriously as a real culture in my private school." On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, producer Andrea Varsany goes behind the scenes at a recent Ha'ikar meet-up to hear some of the powerful, personal stories told therein.

The group compares weight, comfort, thermal balance, strap systems, and software ecosystems. Marty shares his early hands-on impressions with the Galaxy XR—including its lighter design but occasional light leakage—while Ben and Jill discuss how purpose may determine market success: Vision Pro for spatial productivity, Galaxy XR for approachable consumer entry.  The discussion moves to VisionOS Beta 4, where developer-focused updates aim to improve stability and groundwork for more immersive experiences. The consensus: incremental but necessary.   Then comes one of the show's most passionate sections: Apple's decision not to allow trade-ins of the first-generation Vision Pro. The panel debates how this affects:     •    customer loyalty     •    early-adopter trust     •    whether the Vision Pro is being treated like a dev kit vs. consumer product. Reactions range from “understandable” to “rough look for a $3,500 device.”  From there, the conversation shifts to the GM / CarPlay breakup, which inspires instant groans. Everyone shares personal and community stories confirming that CarPlay is no longer a luxury—it's baseline expectation. One panelist notes even non-tech friends refuse to buy a car without CarPlay, which says more than any product review ever could.   iPhone Air production and strategy concerns, tied to mid-tier pricing pressure  YouTube's new AI deepfake likeness detection, and what it means for creators and security Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation  New Samsung Vision Pro Killer?

The panel dives into the launch of the Vision Pro M5, iPad Pro M5, and 14-inch MacBook Pro M5, exploring how Apple's latest chip is showing up everywhere—from spatial computing to creative workflows. Marty admits to pre-ordering the new Vision Pro while having blood drawn, leading to the episode's funniest moment (“They took my blood, I gave Apple my money”). Jeff immediately volunteers to be Marty's “no-good son” to inherit the old headset, sparking laughter about “device reallocation” policies. Discussion turns to the Vision Pro's new dual-knit band and Hover headset accessory, which redistributes weight to the crown of the head. Dave likens it to “flipping up granny sunglasses,” while Ben compares it to wearing “night-vision goggles.” Chuck's wise counsel: “Wait for the M5 Pro—patience beats payment.” MacBook Pro M5 specs are examined in detail—10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24-hour battery life (cue the joke: “if you never touch it”), and no Wi-Fi 7 support. Marty shares his “trade-up philosophy” while Jeff laments his $800 trade-in offer: “It lost that much value that fast?” Chuck recommends Apple's refurb store, calling it “the best deal Apple doesn't advertise.” The crew also explores the iPad Pro M5, agreeing that performance gains are meaningful but most users won't need to upgrade. Jill admits her iPad mostly serves as a “sleep-aid game console,” while Eric says Vision Pro has cut into his tablet use entirely. Other highlights:     •    Vision Pro M5's 120 Hz refresh rate and better cooling.     •    No Wi-Fi 6E bump—for $3,500, that drew audible groans.     •    AI readiness of the M5 chip sparks debate on whether Apple even has an “AI strategy.”     •    Apple TV's rebranding from “TV+” to “Apple TV,” which the panel calls “peak confusion.”     •    AirPods Pro 3 flight test: Marty's seal so tight it caused ear “pop-pop-pop” moments, while Dave says noise-canceling on planes “kills all sound, including your will to chat.”   Topics and Links Breaking News  Apple Debuts New iPad Pro With M5 Chip, Faster Charging, and More Apple Announces New 14-Inch MacBook Pro With M5 Chip Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support Here's Everything Apple Announced Today  In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support

Stop Waiting to Be “Ready”—Build a Holy Marriage Now.  The Patristic Nectar Marriage Conference 2025 was not a moment too soon - see real reactions!  What if marriage isn't just a contract, but a calling from God that shapes who we become?In this story-driven recap from a vibrant Christian marriage conference, we follow the journey from culture's delay tactics—“wait until you're perfect, richer, or have seen the world”—to a Christ-centered vision that treats marriage as the workshop of love.You'll hear why young couples are stepping into vows with courage, how Scripture frames marriage as a covenant and a living icon of Christ and the Church (Eph. 5), and why repentance isn't shame—it's the practical art of repair. Attendees share the relief of replacing unhelpful narratives with habits that actually build a home: daily prayer, honest conversation, small acts of service, and a church community that refuses to let money fears or perfectionism become a wall.What we cover:From “I'll marry when I'm perfect” to “I'm formed by the promises I keep.”Covenant over contract: why vows carry you when feelings fluctuate.Dying to self, daily: forgiving quickly, guarding unity, speaking the truth in love.Beauty with responsibility: welcoming children, stability, and the quiet strength that blesses families, neighborhoods, and churches.Practical rhythms you can start tonight—shared prayer, check-ins, budgeting as a team, and serving together.If you're engaged, newly married, or rethinking commitment, this conversation offers hope, tools, and a bigger purpose: marriage as a holy calling that forms us into Christlike love.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who's on the fence about marriage, and leave a quick rating or review—your words help others find a path toward faithful love.Visit Patristic Nectar and Father Josiah Trenham: https://patristicnectar.org/Questions about Orthodoxy?

In a podcast episode from the Positive Aging Community, Steve Gurney welcomed Mary Ek, Director of Dementia Friendly America (DFA), and Beth Soltzberg of the Memory Care Alliance to discuss Memory Cafes—innovative gatherings that transform community support for people living with dementia and their caregivers. This article summarizes their insights on the origins, impact, and future of Memory Cafes, emphasizing how these programs foster connection, reduce isolation, and challenge stigma.The Roots of Dementia Friendly AmericaMary Ek describes DFA not just as an organization, but a growing nationwide movement dedicated to building communities where people with dementia and their care partners can thrive. DFA began in Minnesota in 2011 as "Act on Alzheimer's" and expanded nationally after the 2015 White House Conference on Aging. Today, DFA partners with USAging, spans 400 communities, and supports over 225,000 trained “Dementia Friends”—people who learn to recognize dementia and respond supportively.Ek explains, “We do this through a multi-sector approach, knowing that everyone has a role in creating communities that welcome and engage those living with dementia and their care partners.” One recent DFA focus is its partnership with the Memory Cafe Alliance, whose directory and resources are now hosted on the DFA website.What Is a Memory Cafe?Beth Soltzberg, whose social work at Jewish Family & Children's Service in Boston made her a leader of Memory Cafes, reports starting with eight participants in 2014; her network now serves nearly 2,000. Memory Cafes, originating in Holland and now global, offer welcoming, fun social gatherings for people experiencing cognitive changes and those who care about them.Cafes vary widely—some feature artists or musicians, others emphasize casual conversation. Venues range from libraries and museums to gardens and bowling alleys. A short video from the podcast captures their spirit: “Memory Cafes are welcoming gatherings for those with cognitive changes or dementia, along with caring family, friends, and professionals. It's a social hour, which everyone needs.” Attendees say things like, “I learned joy at a memory cafe,” reflecting real emotional uplift.Combating Isolation and StigmaDementia can cause deep isolation due to symptoms, stigma, or misunderstanding. Soltzberg stressed how activities once enjoyed may become harder, increasing loneliness. Memory Cafes provide joyful, normalizing spaces to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones.By emphasizing fun and belonging, Cafes counter stigma. Soltzberg notes, “People can live with dementia for many years. They need to keep living their lives.” Ek points out that DFA's Dementia Friends program teaches meaningful engagement for non-professionals, turning uncertainty into positive action.Real-Life Stories of ImpactPersonal stories reveal the transformative power of Memory Cafes. Soltzberg recounted helping a woman invite her decades-long friend with dementia to a music-themed Cafe. The invitation rekindled friendship and gave remote relatives peace of mind, knowing a joyful activity was scheduled. Ek shared how a man, long after his wife's passing, remained close to other caregivers he'd met at a Cafe—proof that these are more than events, but life-changing connections.These interconnected initiatives remind us that dementia can be a catalyst for community and deeper connection. Soltzberg concluded, “People can live well with dementia. We need to work together to support that.” Learn more and find or launch a Memory Cafe at dfamerica.org or memorycafedirectory.com.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE HAMAS DEAL... BARCELONA 1899 10-9-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 The Genesis of Hamas, the Failure of "Land for Peace," and Theological Jihad Cliff May discussed the failure of the "land for peace" policy following Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza and the violent takeover by Hamas. Hamas, representing the Muslim Brotherhood and born from theological jihad, views its mission as the destruction of Israel to establish an emirate. May emphasized that any cessation of hostilities is merely a hudna (truce), used by Hamas to rebuild for future battles, not a lasting peace. 915-930 Javier Milei's Dilemma: Midterms, the Wobbling Peso, and the Push for Dollarization Mary Anastasia O'Grady analyzed Argentinian President Javier Milei's economic and political dilemma as he faces midterms with a wobbling peso leading up to the October 26th elections. The peso is suffering due to fears that the opposition Peronist coalition will block Milei's reforms. O'Grady advocated for dollarization as the solution to stabilize the currency, reduce interest rates, and impose fiscal discipline on reckless spending. Powerful financial special interests prefer the status quo of an unanchored peso. 930-945 The Valdai Conference, Russia's Global South Strategy, and Warnings to the West Anatol Lieven discussed the Valdai conference in Sochi, where President Putin projected confidence but issued stark warnings against the US providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and Europeans committing "piracy" by seizing Russian cargos.

Cicero established his career by solving the murder case of Roscius and prosecuting corrupt Sicilian governor Verres for theft.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Fiscal Irresponsibility, the Cost of Debt, and the Loss of Welfare Reform Lessons Veronique De Rugy of the Mercatus Center criticized Washington's fiscal irresponsibility and the mounting cost of debt, arguing that enormous deficits create an anti-growth drag on the economy. She noted that failing to cut spending is a future tax hike. De Rugy lamented the loss of lessons from the 1996 welfare reform, which showed that work requirements reduced poverty, as politicians now prioritize spending checks over fiscal prudence.D 1215-1230 Deepseek's AI Claims, Huawei's Chip Ambitions, and US/China Tech Competition Chris Riegel analyzed the escalating tech competition between the US and China, focusing on Chinese AI firm Deepseek and noting its claims of superiority were potentially misleading due to non-transparency and reliance on Nvidia technology. He discussed Huawei's chip fabrication efforts and ambitions, concluding that US sanctions, particularly restricting ASML tools, keep China one to one and a half generations behind. The US scale advantage, exemplified by investments like Colossus, remains significant in the AI competition. 1230-1245 The Artemis Program, the New Space Race with China, and the Role of Elon Musk Mark Whittington discussed the Artemis program and the new space race with China, emphasizing that the US is driven back to the moon by competition with the People's Republic of China.

Summary In Episode 390 of In Touch With iOS, host Dave Ginsburg is joined by Jill McKinley, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, and Ben Roethig to tackle Apple's latest updates with a mix of analysis and humor. The panel begins with VisionOS 26.1 beta 2, highlighting improved game controller responsiveness and Apple's new immersive films—from Hawaii's volcanoes to Maine's autumn colors. Marty jokes Apple just used the Photos app's magic wand to turn summer into fall, while the group teases about running out of U.S. states to film. They also discuss the quirky Hover strap accessory that “flips up like old-man sunglasses” with ad copy quoting “When a problem comes along, you must flip it.” iOS 26.1 beta 2 gets attention for bigger alarm buttons, a snooze/stop redesign, and expanded Apple Intelligence languages. On iPad, the return of Slide Over sparks relief, while microphone gain control earns praise for podcasters. Apple's Fitness app adds custom workouts, and AirPods Pro 3 receive a firmware update. Marty shares a hilarious inflight story: the new seal was so tight his ears went “poppity, poppity, poppity” during descent. The crew explores iPhone 17's USB-C capabilities—charging AirPods, external displays, Ethernet, even other iPhones. Jeff jokes about using USB-C mics for bird-watching apps, while Eric tests charging his Apple Watch directly from the iPhone. Other highlights: Amazon Prime splurges (camera arms, Stream Decks, car jumpers, and audio gear). Tag Heuer's $1,600 Connected E5 smartwatch, now iPhone-certified—“a $1,600 dongle for your wrist.” Apple's Colorado outdoor influencer event (hiking + AirPods demos). Cosmic Orange skins from Dbrand, prompting jokes about spray-tanning MacBooks or eating Cheetos near your iPhone. Liquid Glass design spreading to more Apple apps. CarPlay tensions: Rivian's refusal, Aston Martin as the lone CarPlay Ultra supporter, and frustration over automakers backtracking. Jeff warns CarPlay Ultra might never gain widespread adoption unless Apple compromises. The panel closes with laughs about hidden iPhone call history (“your spouse's attorney already knows”), cosmic orange hunting gear, and CarPlay Ultra being more elusive than a lottery win.

In this special edition of Late Night Health, host Mark Alyn sat down with Angela McGregor, founder of the National Menopause Show, to discuss why this groundbreaking event is needed and what women—and men—can expect when it arrives at the Anaheim Convention Center.Angela shared her deeply personal motivation for creating the show. After suffering for years with perimenopausal symptoms and finding little help from her doctors, she eventually discovered solutions that worked. This experience opened her eyes to a widespread problem: menopause education is largely missing from standard medical training in North America. Too often, women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or handed antidepressants when they seek support for symptoms ranging from hot flashes and night sweats to more surprising issues like frozen shoulder, tooth loss, and hair thinning.The National Menopause Show is designed to close this gap by providing credible, accessible education directly to women. Angela emphasized that menopause is not one-size-fits-all—there are more than 100 recognized symptoms, and each woman's journey is unique. The event offers a safe, supportive space where women can openly discuss concerns about mood, bone health, sexual health, and overall well-being.This year marks the show's U.S. debut, following a highly successful launch in Toronto in 2024. Attendees in Anaheim will benefit from presentations by physicians, nurse practitioners, and specialists who are at the forefront of menopause research and treatment. Sessions include Menopause 101, Beyond HRT: Non-Hormonal Options, The Benefits of Resistance Training, and practical workshops on advocating for oneself with healthcare providers and at work. Other topics range from sleep care to breast cancer survivorship.The event also highlights the importance of men's understanding. Angela and Mark stressed that spouses and partners can play a critical role in supporting women, and men themselves need education to navigate these changes with compassion.Beyond lectures, the show features exhibits, services, and even entertainment, such as The Third Act, a comedic troupe finding humor in menopause. Tickets are reasonably priced at $45 for one day or $55 for the full weekend, making the event accessible to as many women as possible.Angela concluded by encouraging women to prepare questions before attending, ensuring they can make the most of the expertise available. Whether you are in your 30s anticipating perimenopause, in the midst of it, or supporting someone else, the show offers invaluable insights and resources.For listeners and readers: Tickets can be purchased at NationalMenopauseShow.com.
