The Children Institute and Legal Resources Centre wants the Western Cape High Court to order home affairs to develop and execute a plan to clear its birth registration backlog. The institute says thousands of children currently live without legal recognition and documentation denying them access to healthcare, grants and education. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Attorney at Legal Resources Centre, which is representing the Children's Institute UCT and a group of South African parents in the court case, Claire Rankin

Just ahead of Oracle's (ORCL) earnings after Wednesday's close, Steven Dickens says the company's backlog will be the biggest metric to watch, along with how it converts it all into revenue. How Oracle builds out AI infrastructure and balancing it with future CapEx are also paramount to Steven, though he doesn't see it as a concern. He calls Oracle the "fourth hyperscaler" and sees the company competing against existing giants in Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I analyze how a trillion dollars in cloud backlog is driving innovation beyond technology and into corporate finance. Highlights 00:03 — In the Cloud Wars, all sorts of crazy things are going on with the technology, what customers are doing with it, but also in how this whole remarkable time is being funded. I want to talk a little bit today about how Google Cloud and Oracle are choosing to fund this unprecedented market demand and why new possibilities require new ways of doing things. 01:25 — In Oracle's most recent quarter, it reported that its RPO, or Remaining Performance Obligation, similar to backlog, is over $550 billion. For Google Cloud, it had an amazing jump as well in its most recent quarter, ended March 31, $462 billion in backlog, almost double what it had been a year before that. So there's amazing demand, these two companies totaling a trillion dollars. 02:09 — Six months ago, Oracle reached out and said, “No, no, we're going to go to some outside funding, some borrowing, to do that.” But the market reacted with a panic. “Oh my God, nobody's ever done this.” And, you know, "What if they can't pay it back?” So there was a lot of skepticism about Oracle's plan six months ago. 02:58 — Now, a week ago, we see Alphabet step up and say, “Hey, we're going to do some equity financing. We're going to take $10 billion from Warren Buffett and some other places. We need this money. We think it's the best way to pursue funding our own data center expansions, our own CapEx needs, which will be somewhere between $185 and $190 billion.” Oracle's will probably be around $75 billion. 04:37 — Oracle and Google Cloud have risen to the top of the Cloud Wars Top 10 because they brought innovation at levels in technology and go-to-market, how they think about customers, deployment models, and so forth, that have really set the new standard for what's happening in the AI cloud business now. Seeking outside funding to meet this demand shows another way to do it. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

New Orleans has been working to clear a big backlog in cases in a slow-moving section of criminal court. How successful has the effort been? We'll break it down with Jesse Manley, the interim director of Court Watch NOLA.

En este episodio Oz conversa con Gina Paola Cárdenas (QA Manager, +12 años de experiencia) y Luis Contreras (Automation Lead en Capgemini, certificado ISTQB) sobre lo que realmente pasa cuando metes agentes de IA al proceso de testing. El 77.7% de los equipos de QA ya se movió a un enfoque AI-first y hay empresas donde el 85% del testing ya no es manual — pero sin criterio técnico, estrategia y gobierno, la IA acelera el caos en lugar de la productividad. Hablan de qué SÍ funciona (análisis de riesgos, self-healing, generación de datos), del peligro de la "pereza de pensar" y la falsa cobertura, de por qué los modelos alucinan entre 3% y 18% y suenan más seguros cuando se equivocan, y de cómo el rol del QA se vuelve más crítico que nunca.00:00 Intro: 77.7% de QA ya es AI-first02:27 ¿Qué cambió con la IA en QA?05:42 El criterio técnico como barrera06:28 El hype vs la realidad: ¿nos reemplaza?09:27 Qué SÍ funciona: análisis de riesgos con IA12:20 Self-healing: scripts que se autocorrigen16:24 Resistencia de los equipos18:18 Scrum ya murió (y los marcos que siguen)20:18 El ejemplo de las velas: evolución de roles22:37 El superpoder del economista en QA26:20 El riesgo: pereza de pensar y falsa cobertura30:56 Pruebas de integración con IA33:52 IA, usabilidad y accesibilidad36:25 Alucinaciones: 3-18% y suenan seguras40:13 "Los de QA no son ingenieros de verdad" + el mercado de $112B41:24 Backlog refinement con criterio crítico43:34 Sistemas críticos: rayos X, carros, vidas46:07 Consejos para QAs: prompt engineering e instinto probador50:01 Cierre✩ CURSOS DISPONIBLES

This week's episode is 1) the last time I'll be talking about Stardew Valley (I promise) and 2) all about how Stardew Valley has weaseled its way into my top 100 games of all-time.

In dieser Folge spricht Dominique mit Aurelia Weimer über ihre ersten 100 Tage als Product Ownerin. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine Einstiegsphase, die vor allem aus Lernen, Orientierung und vielen neuen Herausforderungen besteht, denn Product Ownership beginnt in der Praxis nicht immer mit einem gepflegten Backlog, klaren Entscheidungswegen oder einer abgestimmten Produktstrategie. Häufig stehen zunächst grundlegende Fragen im Vordergrund: Wie arbeiten die Menschen zusammen? Wer trifft welche Entscheidungen? Welche Erwartungen gibt es an das Produkt? Welche Strukturen helfen bereits und welche stehen eher im Weg? Aurelia berichtet, warum es am Anfang wichtig ist, nicht vorschnell Lösungen zu präsentieren, sondern zunächst Kontext aufzubauen. Dazu gehören fachliches Wissen über die Domäne, ein Verständnis für bestehende Routinen und ein genauer Blick auf die beteiligten Menschen und ihre Erwartungen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt der Folge ist die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Entwicklungsteam. Gemeinsame Workshops, offene Diskussionen und die bewusste Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Arbeitsweise werden als wichtige Elemente beschrieben, um Schritt für Schritt zu einem passenden Vorgehen zu finden. Dabei geht es weniger darum, Scrum-Elemente möglichst lehrbuchnah umzusetzen, sondern darum, herauszufinden, was dem Team in der konkreten Situation wirklich hilft. Die Folge zeigt außerdem, dass die ersten 100 Tage auch eine Phase persönlicher Entwicklung sind. Neues Domänenwissen, Unsicherheit und Verantwortung gehören ebenso dazu wie Fragen stellen, Unterstützung annehmen und den eigenen Wissensstand realistisch einordnen. Moderne Werkzeuge können den Einstieg erleichtern, etwa beim Erschließen fachlicher Themen oder beim Strukturieren von Informationen. Der Kern wirksamer Product Ownership bleibt jedoch die Arbeit mit Menschen: Beziehungen aufbauen, Perspektiven verstehen, Erwartungen klären und gemeinsam Vertrauen entwickeln.

Juni is op het eerste gezicht een wat rustigere maand voor gamers, en daarmee misschien wel het perfecte moment om eindelijk wat van die backlog weg te werken.

Use code "SCI" at ARENACLUB.COMA massive 10-million-card backlog has forced PSA to officially shut down all value-level submission tiers, effective immediately. Today on Cards on the Table, T-Pot, Scotty B, and Carter break down the shocking news and analyze exactly what this means for the hobby. With regular service ($79.99) now the cheapest available option, we discuss the ripple effect this will have on box prices, modern "rip and flip" strategies, and the vintage card market.Plus, we cover the rest of the week's biggest hobby news, including the record-breaking $5.11 million private sale of the Victor Wembanyama Prizm Black 1/1 (the "Black Curtain"), and the ongoing packaging issues with eBay's Authenticity Guarantee program.In this episode, we discuss:The PSA Shutdown: Analyzing the 10-million-card backlog driven by the explosive growth of TCGs (Pokémon and One Piece). We discuss whether PSA's massive expansion will actually solve the issue, how this completely neutralizes the value of the Collectors Club membership, and if alternative grading companies like Beckett, SGC, and CGC can handle the overflow.SGC's Dwindling Market Share: Why SGC's volume is down 70% year-over-year, and what Collectors' acquisition means for the future of the "Tuxedo" slab and the vintage market.Wemby's $5.1 Million Record: The 2023 Panini Prizm Victor Wembanyama Black 1/1 just sold privately for $5.11 million. We compare this massive sale to the Aaron Judge Superfractor Auto, debate if the NBA market is overhyped compared to baseball, and touch on the controversy surrounding the use of Kurt's Card Care prior to the card's grading.eBay Authenticity Flaws: Why are high-end raw cards arriving from the eBay Authenticity Guarantee program sliding out of their semi-rigid holders? We debate simple fixes and why the program is still a massive net positive for the hobby despite packaging flaws.How do you think PSA's shutdown of value submissions will impact the sports card market over the next 12 months?

This week's episode is all about my continued love affair with Stardew Valley, with a little bit of Forza Horizon 6 on the side.

Simon Erickson digs into Rocket Lab's (NASDAQ:RKLB) Q1 2026 earnings with a record revenues of $200 million (up 63% year-over-year), $2.2 billion contractual backlog, record gross margins, and an undisclosed customer signing on for five Neutron rocket launches through 2029. 7investing first recommended Rocket Lab at $10 in August 2021, added again at $4 in early 2024 when Simon published a public valuation of $22/share — and the stock now trades at $121. That's a 30x return in two years.But the big question now: is Rocket Lab still a buy at current prices? Simon breaks down his ninth iteration discounted cash flow model, explains why 75% of Rocket Lab's backlog is in the Space Systems manufacturing division (not launches), and why he expects Space Systems to eventually represent 70-90% of total company revenues. He also covers the Neutron rocket timeline (now expected late 2026), the HASTE hypersonic program, Golden Dome defense contracts, and the new European expansion through the Mynaric acquisition.This is Part 1 of a multi-part series — Part 2 will feature a full updated DCF valuation model with Simon's new price target. Plus, Simon will be presenting at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium in Dallas. Subscribe so you don't miss the next episode.

Week 20 marks a decisive shift in the global ship recycling market as diplomatic momentum around Hormuz stalls, Brent crude rebounds above USD 107, and freight markets continue strengthening across the dry bulk sector. Despite last week's temporary optimism surrounding a possible ceasefire framework, owners are still holding onto older vessels as trading earnings remain exceptionally firm. The Baltic Dry Index breaking above 3,000 and Capesize earnings surpassing USD 43,000 per day continue reinforcing the economics of keeping aging tonnage active rather than recycling. As a result, the expected release of recycling candidates into the sub-continent has once again failed to materialize. Bangladesh remains the leading recycling destination on pricing and operational readiness, with stable currency conditions, active LC flows, and competitive steel plate pricing supporting Chattogram buyers. However, supply shortages persist as owners continue delaying recycling decisions ahead of monsoon closure. India faces renewed pressure as the Rupee weakens to another all-time low near 95.71 against the U.S. Dollar. Alang remains the lowest-priced destination while maintaining its strong HKC compliance advantage with more than 110 compliant yards operational. Pakistan's market position stabilizes after the State Bank's recent rate hike helped support the Pakistani Rupee, even as inflation pressures remain elevated. Gadani continues offering some of the firmest pricing in the market, supported by proximity advantages linked to ongoing Hormuz uncertainty. Turkey remains structurally uncompetitive for mainstream tonnage despite continued weakness in the Turkish Lira and rising inflation, leaving Aliaga focused primarily on EU-regulated recycling candidates. With only around two weeks remaining before the practical monsoon closure window, the central market question is no longer whether demand exists. It clearly does. The question is whether owners will release tonnage before the window closes. So far, strong freight markets, elevated oil prices, and unresolved geopolitical risk continue preventing meaningful supply flow into recycling yards. This episode covers: Global ship recycling market trends Brent crude oil rebound and Hormuz developments Baltic Dry Index and freight market strength Vessel recycling supply shortages Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Turkey market updates Steel plate pricing trends Currency movements and inflation pressures HKC-compliant recycling yards Monsoon impact on ship recycling activity Cash buyer sentiment and recycling pricing outlook   Key Market Developments This Week • Brent rebounds from USD 96 back above USD 107 • Diplomatic momentum around Hormuz stalls • Baltic Dry Index breaks above 3,000 • Capesize earnings surge above USD 43,000/day • Freight strength continues delaying recycling decisions • Q2 recycling backlog hardens further • Bangladesh remains strongest pricing destination • Chattogram LC pipeline stays fully operational • India Rupee falls to fresh record lows near 95.71 • Alang maintains strong HKC compliance positioning • Pakistan Rupee firms despite inflation pressures • Gadani pricing remains among the strongest globally • Turkey inflation rises while Aliaga remains niche • Limited vessel supply continues across all destinations • Monsoon closure window narrows to approximately 2 weeks • Owners continue prioritizing trading over recycling   For full details, vessel rankings, and port positions, download the GMS Weekly on our website or mobile app. Follow GMS on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X for daily updates.

At RBC Capital Markets' Private Tech Conference, Dan Nathan interviews RBC analysts Brad Erickson, Rishi Jaluria, Matt Swanson, and Matt Hedberg on Q1 earnings and AI's impact across internet and software. Erickson says demand is solid, hyperscalers are raising CapEx as cloud ROI improves, and explains why Meta's higher spend hurt the stock versus Google/Amazon's accelerating cloud revenue and margins; he ranks Amazon over Google over Meta and discusses Uber's AV positioning versus Waymo. Jaluria is bullish on Microsoft's broad AI opportunities, notes Copilot's growing paid users, and discusses multimodel strategy, small/medium models, and Oracle's controversial OpenAI-linked data center build and financing. Swanson covers ad/martech, highlighting Adobe's “orchestration” narrative, Trade Desk's holding-company tensions, and AppLovin's ROAS-driven model. Hedberg argues cyber and infrastructure need “more, not less” security post-Anthropic's Mythos, cites capitulation in software sentiment, favors consolidators like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Snowflake, Datadog, and ServiceNow, and notes AI-driven efficiency and layoffs as potential catalysts amid continued volatility. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

Week 19 marks a major shift in the global ship recycling market as Brent crude falls sharply, diplomacy re-enters the Hormuz conversation, and freight markets move strongly in the opposite direction. Despite Brent correcting from USD 126.41 per barrel to near USD 100, the expected release of recycling tonnage has not materialized. The Baltic Dry Index climbed to 2,991, up 12% from the previous week, with Capesize earnings surging and daily returns moving above USD 42,000. Strong freight earnings continue to encourage owners to keep older vessels trading rather than sending them for recycling, keeping supply tight across the Indian sub-continent. Bangladesh remains the leading recycling destination, supported by firm demand, a stable Taka, sustained Letter of Credit flow, and competitive steel plate pricing. However, Chattogram continues to face the same core issue: buyers are ready, but vessels are not arriving. India saw sharp currency volatility, with the Rupee touching a fresh low around 95.27 before recovering near 94.18 on diplomatic headlines. Alang remains the lowest-priced sub-continent destination, but its HKC-compliant yard base continues to support regulated tonnage demand. Pakistan's position has become more complicated. Gadani pricing remains firm, with steel plate levels around USD 679 per ton, but April inflation surged to 10.9%, prompting a 100-basis-point rate hike to 11.5%. Pakistan's Gulf proximity premium still holds, but its earlier stability advantage has narrowed. Turkey remains structurally uncompetitive for mainstream tonnage, with the Lira weakening to a fresh record low and April inflation rising to 32.37%. Aliaga continues to rely mainly on EU-regulated tonnage, where compliance can outweigh the price gap. With only around 3 weeks left before the monsoon window closes, the central question is no longer whether demand exists. It does. The question is whether diplomacy can release vessel supply in time. For now, strong freight, unresolved Hormuz risks, inflation pressure, and limited candidate flow mean the backlog holds.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down how hyperscalers reached a staggering $2 trillion backlog and what it means for the future of AI infrastructure. Highlights 00:03 — The hyperscaler market (the four big companies that are helping to shape the world with the power of AI), their backlog has now hit $2 trillion. So not just their recent revenue, talking about future commitments, contracted business not yet recognized as revenue: $2 trillion. Talk about some responsibility. 01:21 — So you see Microsoft's backlog almost doubled: $627 billion. Oracle's up a whopping 325% to $553 billion. We've got Google Cloud with a huge jump, 93%, $462 billion, and AWS, very nice number, but relative to the others it is not quite up to snuff at 49%, $364 billion. 02:25 — So I think AWS is doing a good job; it's just its competitors are doing a better job — higher growth. All in all, this rolls up to more proof: this is the cloud AI market, the greatest growth market the world has ever known. 02:52 — Google Cloud, on its revenue side, 63% growth, and then by far its fastest growth backlog number here, 93%. This is a red-hot company, not just for the last few months — this backlog shows a huge number coming forward. 03:39 — This is a fantastic time to be a customer in this business because you've got unbelievable demand. The competition from these companies is showing they've got to continue to innovate as rapidly as possible and give their customers more choice. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Week 17 of 2026 marks a decisive shift in global ship recycling markets as geopolitical risk intensifies and supply constraints deepen. In this episode, Grace and Ryan break down the latest developments shaping the industry, including the indefinite extension of the US-Iran ceasefire, renewed escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, and its direct impact on oil, freight, and recycling dynamics. Brent crude has rebounded toward the mid-90 dollar range as geopolitical risk reasserts itself, reversing last week's demand-driven softness. At the same time, freight markets continue to strengthen, with the Baltic Dry Index reaching multi-month highs and Capesize earnings climbing on sustained Brazil to China iron ore flows. Strong vessel earnings remain the key factor discouraging recycling activity. Currency movements across the sub-continent are reinforcing existing pricing dynamics rather than driving change. The Indian Rupee has weakened, the Pakistani Rupee remains stable, Bangladesh holds within range, and the Turkish Lira has reached fresh lows. Despite these shifts, the core issue remains unchanged: a lack of available tonnage. Bangladesh continues to lead the market with strong pricing, stable currency, and accelerated Letter of Credit approvals. However, with only five weeks remaining before the monsoon season, time pressure is intensifying. Compliance scrutiny remains elevated, with due diligence now embedded across transactions. India retains its structural advantage with Hong Kong Convention compliant yards, but ongoing currency weakness and energy exposure linked to Hormuz disruptions continue to limit competitiveness. Pakistan is emerging as the strongest performer, with firm pricing, stable fundamentals, and a reinforced proximity advantage to Gulf tonnage. Turkey remains uncompetitive for mainstream recycling and is limited to EU regulated tonnage. No major recycling transactions were reported this week, highlighting continued supply tightness across all destinations. As the monsoon window narrows, the market narrative is shifting. The expected release of tonnage is no longer delayed but increasingly deferred, raising the likelihood of a growing backlog into Q2. This episode provides a clear, data-driven view of ship recycling trends, scrap market pricing, freight dynamics, and global maritime risk factors shaping supply decisions.   Key Market Developments This Week Indefinite ceasefire extension with escalation in the Strait of Hormuz Brent crude rebounds toward mid-90 dollar levels on geopolitical risk Baltic Dry Index rises to multi-month highs with strong Capesize earnings Vessel earnings remain elevated, discouraging recycling activity Currency movements stable but reinforcing existing pricing structure Bangladesh leads with improving LC flows and strong pricing India remains constrained by currency weakness and energy exposure Pakistan strengthens with firm pricing and Gulf proximity advantage Turkey remains limited to EU compliant recycling segment No major recycling sales reported, confirming supply shortage Q1 tonnage overhang increasingly shifting into a Q2 backlog      

גלעד פגש את מיטל כוכבי, מנהלת מוצר בברינג, לשיחה על הזדמנות גדולה ששכבה בבקלוג שלהם שנה וחצי - עד שלקוח גדול פשוט דרש אותה. בפרק הזה הם מדברים על מה שקורה כשבקלוג הופך למקום שבו רעיונות הולכים למות: איך מזהים בקלוג לא יעיל, למה בקלוג עמוס הוא לא סימן לפרודוקטיביות אלא לחוסר אסטרטגיה, ואיך הם שינו את התהליך בברינג עם Validation Funnel שמחבר בין המטרות האסטרטגיות לכל רעיון שנכנס. מיטל מביאה דוגמאות אמיתיות - כולל מוצר שהגדיל כל עסקה ב-20% ורוב הלקוחות הקיימים קנו אותו, שישב בבקלוג שנה וחצי בלי לזוז.

Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break down a massive week in enterprise tech, from Google Cloud Next's full-stack AI push and Amazon's $100 billion Anthropic commitment, to Apple's leadership transition and Intel's long-awaited foundry validation courtesy of Elon Musk. The handpicked topics for this week are: Google Cloud Next 2026: Full-Stack AI and New TPUs — Google Cloud Next has cemented itself as the second-biggest AI event on the calendar, with Thomas Kurian declaring the proof-of-concept era over and enterprises now in full production mode with agents. Google unveiled two next-generation TPUs (the 8i for training and the 8t for high-throughput inference) and reinforced its full-stack differentiation from infrastructure through Gemini Enterprise Workspace. (The Decode) Google's Agentic Security and MCP Push — Google made a significant move into agentic security, combining Wiz and Mandiant into what Pat calls a sleeper announcement of the show. Google also committed to placing MCP servers across all of its data surfaces, meaning even non-Google platforms can tap into Google data without full lock-in. (The Decode) Google Distributed Cloud and On-Prem Agentic Orchestration — Google took the biggest first step Patrick has seen toward a true agentic orchestrator that spans on-prem enterprise and public cloud through progress on Google Distributed Cloud. No other company has yet attempted cross-environment agent coordination at this level. (The Decode) Amazon's $100 Billion Anthropic Commitment — Amazon formalized a commitment of up to $100 billion into Anthropic, including five gigawatts of Trainium capacity, making it the largest non-NVIDIA silicon commitment in history. Anthropic's valuation crossed $1 trillion just weeks after a $350 billion raise, a pace that has left even veteran analysts searching for new language. (The Decode) Adobe Summit 2026: Enterprise Agents and Jensen's Endorsement — Jensen Huang took the stage at Adobe Summit to deepen the NVIDIA-Adobe partnership, calling agentic workflows the new front end for SaaS rather than a replacement for it. Adobe reported $250 million in Firefly ARR and 45% quarter-over-quarter growth in agentic tool usage, yet the stock continued to disappoint investors expecting hypergrowth multiples. (The Decode) Apple's New CEO: John Ternus and Tim Cook's Legacy — Apple named John Ternus as its fourth CEO, closing the book on Tim Cook's 15-year tenure marked by custom silicon success, services expansion, and operational excellence, alongside misses in Vision Pro, the abandoned car project, and Siri's failure to become the AI front end it should have been. Ternus is a continuity hardware candidate, and the most consequential decision may prove to be keeping Johny Srouji over all of hardware. (The Decode) Intel Foundry: Elon Musk, TerraFab, and 14A Validation — One day before Intel's earnings print, Elon Musk publicly confirmed TeraFab will use Intel's 14A process, delivering the first verifiable public wafer commitment on that node. Intel then reported a 23% stock surge, 22% data center growth, and EPS of $0.29 against a $0.01 street consensus. (The Decode) The Flip: TSMC vs. Semiconductor Equipment Makers — Pat and Dan take hard opposing stances on who holds more power in the AI supply chain: TSMC with its control of over 90% of advanced AI silicon and irreplaceable process expertise, or the equipment oligopoly of ASML, Applied Materials, LAM, and KLA without whom no leading-edge fab can operate. The real answer, they conclude, is deep interdependence, though TSMC's combination of talent and leading-edge control gives it outsized leverage today. (The Flip) Intel — Intel's earnings were a blowout across the board, with data center up 22%, EPS of $0.29 versus a $0.01 estimate, and guide raised, driven by CPU price increases, customer pull-ins, and packaging volume growth. Hosts discuss whether the stock at current levels is pricing in foundry revenue that has barely begun to materialize on the tape. (Bulls and Bears) GE Vernova and Vertiv — GE Vernova posted a beat on revenue and EPS with orders up 71% organically and a $163 billion backlog, while Vertiv reported sales up 30% and raised forward guidance to $14 billion. Both companies reflect the acute power infrastructure demand tied to data center buildout, with Patrick noting their growth was likely already baked into share prices heading into the print. (Bulls and Bears) ServiceNow — ServiceNow beat across the board with a Rule of 57 growth result and AI run rate up to $1.5 billion, 50% above its prior target, though margin headwinds from three acquisitions and on-prem impacts from the Middle East conflict weighed on sentiment. Daniel argues the market has not yet accepted that workflow automation at enterprise scale will not be replaced by vibe-coded alternatives. (Bulls and Bears) IBM — IBM posted a triple beat with Red Hat up 13%, software up 11%, and Z mainframe up 48%, the latter driven in part by AI-assisted COBOL modernization tools making the platform newly relevant. The stock slid after hours despite the results, continuing a pattern Patrick describes simply as silly season for enterprise infrastructure names. (Bulls and Bears) SAP — SAP beat on revenue and earnings with cloud revenue up 19%, cloud backlog up 20%, and total backlog up 25%, reinforcing that enterprise ERP customers are not moving away from core platforms. Daniel and Patrick agree this is another data point showing enterprises are building AI on top of existing software stacks, not tearing them out.

**Clay Edwards Show – Kingfish Exposes the Mississippi ABC Liquor Backlog Disaster** Clay is joined by Kingfish from Jackson Jambalaya to rip into the ongoing Mississippi ABC liquor distribution meltdown. Kingfish shares on-the-ground reporting from Arrow Wine & Spirits in Clinton and other stores in McComb and Brookhaven — nearly empty shelves, bare coolers, and popular affordable items (cheap wines like Line 39, big Crown Royal bottles, boxed wine, and Jose Cuervo margaritas) completely unavailable. One store had to cut hours to just one Friday afternoon per week and lay off three employees just to survive. Meanwhile, the contractor Ruan is sending out self-congratulatory emails bragging about a 20% increase in shipping, but actual Department of Revenue numbers show the backlog is still massive (around 170,000 cases) and progress is painfully slow — with some weeks actually going backwards. Clay calls it exactly what it is: Ruan has ruined the system, small businesses are getting destroyed, and the state (ABC, DOR, and Governor Tate Reeves) needs to step in and fix it or get them the hell out. Raw, no-holds-barred reality radio. **The Clay Edwards Show – ABC Liquor Backlog with Kingfish**

Not Every Backlog Item Needs Detail - Mike CohnHere's something I've noticed over the years:Many teams think backlog refinement means making the entire product backlog detailed and “ready.”That's not how a healthy backlog works.A well-managed product backlog should have a gradient of clarity.Items near the top of the backlog—the ones you're likely to work on soon—should be clear and reasonably detailed. They should have acceptance criteria, clarified assumptions, and enough shared understanding that the team can confidently bring them into a sprint.But items further down the backlog should be less detailed.They might be nothing more than a sentence or two.It's not wrong to leave lower backlog items vague. It's the right and agile thing to do.For example, imagine you're building a travel booking website. Early on, you might have detailed backlog items about booking airfare and booking hotels. Those are core features, so they deserve detail.But you might also have an item about booking cabins on a cruise ship. If cruises aren't central to your product, that item can stay vague for a long time. It doesn't need to be “Sprint Planning ready” six months before anyone will work on it.If you fully refine backlog items far in advance, you're doing a lot of work on items that will change, move, or disappear.So rather than trying to keep the whole backlog “ready,” focus your refinement effort where it matters most:At the top.Refinement should make sprint planning easier.That happens when the next sprint or two is well understood—not when the product backlog is documented 50 items deep.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Iryna Stelmakh: When "Agile" Becomes a License to Change Everything, The Cost of No Rules in Backlog Management Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "For me, it was pretty hard to explain that Agile is about cost reduction, and not about cost increasing." — Iryna Stelmakh   Iryna shares a story from one of her first projects as a Scrum Master, working with a client from Israel who saw Scrum as an open invitation to add anything to the backlog at any time. For this client, agility meant unlimited flexibility — the freedom to extend not just the product backlog but the sprint backlog, multiple times per sprint. As Vasco points out, this is a pattern many teams recognize: when there's no cost to disrupting a sprint, it becomes effortless to keep piling on work, destroying the very predictability that sprints are designed to create.   Iryna struggled to push back. It was one of her first projects, and the client was confident in his approach. But the experience taught her a lasting lesson: the collaboration with external clients must start with an agreement about how the team works. That means explaining the methodology during the pre-sale phase, documenting it in the contract, and teaching the client the benefits of the process before the work begins. As she puts it, when she checked back with the sales and engagement teams, she realized nobody had set those expectations. She relied instead of checking — and paid the price. Once she held sessions with the client to explain how Scrum works and what it delivers, things shifted. New tasks went into the product backlog and were prioritized properly through refinement, not dumped into active sprints.   Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you verified that your client or stakeholders truly understand how your team works — not just the label, but the actual rules and commitments?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
