In this episode, Reuben and Tessa discuss various homeowner questions, focusing on health effects related to sleep deprivation, the intricacies of high-efficiency furnaces, crawl space concerns, and the importance of proper ventilation and insulation. They emphasize the need for safety in home systems, particularly regarding carbon monoxide risks, and explore best practices for insulation techniques, including the concept of beam fill in basements. In this conversation, Tessa Murry and Reuben Saltzman delve into critical aspects of home construction and maintenance, focusing on capillary breaks, insulation challenges in older homes, the necessity of combustion air, and the myths surrounding electrical panels. They emphasize the importance of understanding building practices and the potential risks associated with modern energy efficiency measures, while also addressing common misconceptions in the home inspection industry.TakeawaysSleep deprivation can affect health and decision-making.High-efficiency furnaces typically use a two-pipe system for safety.Crawl spaces need proper ventilation to prevent moisture issues.Insulation in crawl spaces can lead to potential rot if not done correctly.Carbon monoxide risks are heightened with improper exhaust systems.Homeowners should prioritize fixing leaks in exhaust pipes.Ventilation strategies are crucial in cold climates to prevent frozen pipes.Insulating the perimeter of crawl spaces is often recommended.Beam fill is a technique used to secure floor joists in basements.Home improvement decisions should consider long-term impacts on health and safety. Capillary breaks prevent moisture from moving into wood.Older construction methods lack modern moisture management techniques.Insulating older homes can lead to structural rot.Energy efficiency measures must consider existing building conditions.Combustion air is crucial for appliance safety and efficiency.Home inspectors often face challenges with electrical panel assessments.Not all recalls indicate a product is inherently unsafe.Understanding building codes is essential for safe home practices.Homeowners should weigh risks when considering insulation options.Communication with homeowners is vital for effective home inspections.Chapters00:00 Sleep Deprivation and Health Effects02:58 Introduction to Homeowner Questions06:04 Understanding High-Efficiency Furnaces08:56 Crawl Space Concerns and Insulation11:55 Health and Safety Issues with Exhaust Systems14:57 Addressing Carbon Monoxide Risks17:54 Ventilation Strategies for Crawl Spaces20:54 Insulation Techniques and Best Practices24:06 Exploring Beam Fill in Basements26:26 Understanding Capillary Breaks in Construction29:36 The Risks of Insulating Older Homes34:10 Combustion Air: Necessity vs. Comfort44:01 Debunking Myths About Electrical Panels

Welcome back to Episode 39 of First Principles!A few weeks ago, you heard the first part of our conversation with Aneesh Reddy, the CEO and Co-Founder of Capillary Tech, a software company offering products and services in the customer experience space.And you might remember that in that episode, Aneesh took us through the journey of Capillary in instalments – because as he explained, Aneesh dreams in instalments. The second instalment was the years 2013 to 2018 – which Aneesh called “Capillary's confusing years.” They were particularly difficult years for them. Having raised a massive amount of venture funding at an expensive valuation, Capillary started burning cash as they expanded ambitiously beyond India. The leadership had to justify their valuation, Aneesh said. During this time, Aneesh's co-founder Krishna Mehra, or KK, had moved to San Francisco in the US. Communication between the co-founders started breaking down even as the pressure on Capillary Tech started mounting.Eventually, both of Aneesh's co-founders left within months of each other. But before leaving, KK was upfront with Aneesh. He told Aneesh that he had become a bully. He wasn't workable anymore.Aneesh went to the Capillary board and told them he wanted to quit. In this second part, you'll hear the two things that Aneesh ended up doing to bounce back. The first was executive coaching. A difficult process, because Aneesh, in his own words, ‘was a hard nut to crack.' Eventually, the coaching process proved to be so transformative for Aneesh, that Capillary today offers coaching to not just its entire leadership team but also down to first-time managers. The second, very interestingly, was Vipassana. And again, as Aneesh explained, it was very difficult at first. But it changed him. He calls it a process of self-discovery and self-purification that every entrepreneur should experience.In this episode, Aneesh talks to me about how these two interventions transformed him and Capillary. He takes me through both processes – day by day, in the case of Vipassana — and how it made a difference to his temperament, leadership style, and his approach to managing.We also talk about Aneesh's fitness journey, finding a purpose in working, and the future of Capillary. This is episode 39 of First Principles—The Ken's weekly leadership podcast.

Mark Johnson, CEO of Loyalty360, spoke with Don Smith, EVP, Chief Consulting Officer at Brierley, about defining and measuring success, trends Brierley notes for 2024, and what generative AI means for brands. 

Welcome to Episode 36 of First Principles!If you're here to find our latest edition of the First Principles Newsletter, here you go!Our guest for this episode is Aneesh Reddy, the co-founder and CEO of Capillary Technologies, a Bangalore-headquartered software-as-a-service – or SaaS – company that is one of the global leaders in customer loyalty and engagement.Capillary powers the customer loyalty operations of hundreds of companies around the world. From companies like Domino's, Puma, Shell, Marks & Spencers, and the Tata Group, to 15 of the world's top Fortune 100 companies. Each time you transact at one of their stores or respond to a marketing message or upgrade your room, it's probably Capillary's tech at play behind the scenes. In its 16th year now, Capillary powers close to 7 billion annual transactions for its customer's customers.But – and there's always a but in great stories – Capillary and Aneesh didn't have an easy ride.They went through multiple economic downturns. They raised large venture rounds and expanded globally, only to shut down many of those operations after losing millions of dollars. Of the three co-founders, two left. One having burnt out and the other because Aneesh was too stressful to work with.Aneesh himself wanted to quit. But his board wouldn't have it.In this episode, Aneesh explains how CapillaryTech bounced back from this point, by slicing  their journey into three  “dream installments.”He also talks about:How CapillaryTech “bounced” into SaaS in a global recession The breakout SaaS model that gets them $1 million deals Building a people-first organization Learning and changing as a leaderThis is episode 36 of First Principles—The Ken's weekly leadership podcast.P.S.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.06.21.545899v1?rss=1 Authors: Turiel, G., Desgeorges, T., Masschelein, E., Birrer, M., Zhang, J., Engelberger, S., De Bock, K. Abstract: BackgroundPeripheral artery disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerosis and chronic narrowing of lower limb arteries leading to decreased muscle perfusion and oxygenation. Current guidelines for treating PAD include endovascular strategies or bypass surgery but long-term outcomes have been suboptimal. This is likely due to our limited understanding of the contribution of the microvasculature as well as other cell types, in particular macrophages, to PAD skeletal muscle pathophysiology. We used single cell sequencing to investigate cellular and transcriptional heterogeneity of the skeletal muscle microenvironment in PAD. MethodsSamples from the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle of individuals undergoing either lower limb aneurysm surgery (controls) or PAD bypass surgery (PAD) were collected. Samples were either frozen for histological evaluation (control: n=4; PAD: n=6) or were immediately processed for single cell RNA sequencing of mononuclear cells (control: n=4; PAD: n= 4). Bioinformatic tools were used to annotate cell types and their subpopulations, to study transcriptional changes and to analyze cellular interactions. ResultsWe generated a dataset comprised of 106,566 high-quality, deep-sequenced cells that compose the muscle microenvironment. Focusing on endothelial cells (ECs) and macrophages, we confirmed the presence of ATF3/4+ ECs with angiogenic and immune regulatory capacities in human muscle and found that their transcriptional profile profoundly alters during PAD. Also, capillary ECs display features of endothelial to mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, we identified LYVE1hiMHCIIlow resident macrophages as the dominant macrophage population in human muscle, even under a chronic inflammatory condition such as PAD. During PAD, LYVE1hiMHCIIlow macrophages get activated and acquire a more pro-inflammatory profile. Finally, we map strong intercellular communication in the muscle microenvironment, which is significantly altered in PAD. ConclusionsThe dataset we present here provides a highly valuable resource for gaining deeper insights into the critical roles that cells in the muscle microenvironment may play in PAD skeletal muscle pathology. We propose that targeting the crosstalk between ECs and macrophages could provide novel insights for developing effective treatments against this disease. Copy rights belong to original authors.

India's OTT businesses are pushing back against a government mandate to curtail the glorification of cigarette and tobacco use online. The Internet and Mobile Association of India has flagged “fundamental concerns” and “practical difficulties” in complying with the new rules that the government issued last month, Economic Times reports. Meanwhile, Disney+ Hotstar is looking to win some users back, by offering cricket streaming free to mobile users, TechCrunch reports. Also in this brief, QNu Labs wins an Indian Navy contract; Capillary makes another buy; and Tiki shuts down. Notes: India's OTT businesses are pushing back against a government mandate to curtail the glorification of cigarette use online. The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has flagged “fundamental concerns” and “practical difficulties” in complying with the new rules that the government issued last month to include anti-tobacco warnings on video streaming platforms, Economic Times reports. On May 31, the health ministry notified amendments in the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act, 2004, which mandate over-the-top (OTT) video streaming platforms to display anti-tobacco warnings and disclaimers on the lines of such warnings displayed in movies in theatres. Disney+ Hotstar has decided to offer free streaming of cricket tournaments to mobile users in India, following the success of Reliance's JioCinema, which has attracted millions of viewers, TechCrunch reports. The move comes after JioCinema surpassed Hotstar's record for concurrent views during the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket tournament. WhatsApp last week announced the launch of WhatsApp Channels, a feature that allows users to follow people and organizations within the app. Initially rolling out in Singapore and Colombia, Channels will offer a private way to communicate, with phone numbers and personal information of both admins and followers kept confidential, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a blog post. The one-way broadcast tool enables admins to share text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls with their followers. Channel updates will only be stored for 30 days, and admins can even choose to block screenshots and forwards. While Channels are not end-to-end encrypted by default, WhatsApp is considering encrypted channels for specific audiences in the future. The company also plans to support admins in building businesses around their channels through payment services and promotional opportunities in the directory. Tiki, a short-form video app, is shutting down its operations in India on June 27, joining a roster of ventures that failed to fill the void left by the ban on TikTok in India, TechCrunch reports. Despite having around 35 million monthly active users in India, Tiki announced its closure in a social media post. QNu Labs, backed by investors including early-stage deep-tech VC firm Speciale Invest, has won a contract with the Indian Navy to deploy its Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) based systems. The Indian Navy aims to enhance its cybersecurity capabilities by using large-scale quantum-based encryption systems, making it the first agency in the country to do so. Capillary Technologies, a customer loyalty and engagement solutions provider, has acquired Tenerity's Digital Connect Assets, expanding its presence in the US and Europe. The acquisition adds a rewards ecosystem to Capillary's portfolio and will be rebranded as Rewards+.

Abstract: The high metabolic demand of brain tissue is supported by a constant supply of blood through dense microvascular networks. Capillaries are the smallest class of vessels and vary in diameter between ~2 to 5 m in the brain. This diameter range plays a significant role in the optimization of blood flow resistance, blood cell distribution, and oxygen extraction. The control of capillary diameter has largely been ascribed to pericyte contractility, but it remains unclear if endothelial wall architecture also contributes to capillary diameter heterogeneity. Here, we use public, large-scale volume electron microscopy data from mouse cortex (MICrONS Explorer, Cortical MM^3) to examine how endothelial cell number, endothelial cell thickness, and pericyte coverage relates to microvascular lumen size. We find that transitional vessels near the penetrating arteriole and ascending venule are composed of 2 to 5 interlocked endothelial cells, while the numerous capillary segments intervening these zones are composed of either 1 or 2 endothelial cells, with roughly equal proportions. The luminal area and diameter is on average slightly larger with capillary segments composed of 2 interlocked endothelial cells versus 1 endothelial cell. However, this difference is insufficient to explain the full range of capillary diameters seen in vivo. This suggests that both endothelial structure and other influences, such as pericyte tone, contribute to the basal diameter and optimized perfusion of brain capillaries.

Capillary Technologies, one of India's first-generation software-as-a-service companies, earlier this week, announced its second US acquisition as part of a strategy to step up its operations in the world's biggest technology market. Speciale Invest, a Chennai VC firm known for backing deep-tech startups, has raised a fund aimed at series A or higher. And Infosys wins a contract that extends its 15-year relationship with LexisNexis. Also in this brief, Google reveals an AI supercomputer that it says is faster than competing systems from Nvidia, CNBC reports. Notes: Google, yesterday, published details about one of its artificial intelligence supercomputers, saying it is faster and more efficient than competing systems from Nvidia, the chipmaker known for its AI processors, CNBC reports. While Nvidia dominates the market for AI model training and deployment, with over 90 percent market share, Google has been designing and deploying AI chips called Tensor Processing Units, or TPUs, since 2016, according to CNBC. AI models and products such as Google's Bard or OpenAI's ChatGPT — powered by Nvidia's A100 chips — require a lot of computers and thousands of processors to work together to train models, with the computers running non-stop for weeks or months, CNBC explains. Google said that it had built a system with over 4,000 TPUs joined with custom components designed to run and train AI models. This supercomputer, called TPU v4, is “1.2x–1.7x faster and uses 1.3x–1.9x less power than the Nvidia A100,” Google's researchers wrote. Infosys, yesterday, announced that it has won a new order, extending its collaboration with LexisNexis, a data and analytics company, to provide information services across its range of content, enterprise, and product applications. Infosys will provide IT services in multiple business domains that include LexisNexis's global content systems, global business systems and product development. Infosys will provide application maintenance and support, application development and validation, life cycle upgrades, application modernization, and content modernization. Infosys will also provide strategic consultancy for LexisNexis' downstream, discretionary investments. The Bengaluru-based IT giant didn't provide any financial details. Infosys will report its fiscal fourth-quarter and annual earnings results on April 13. Capillary Technologies, one of India's first-generation software-as-a-service companies, earlier this week, announced its second US acquisition as part of a strategy to step up its operations in the world's biggest technology market. Bengaluru-based Capillary, which provides a customer loyalty and engagement SaaS platform, has acquired Texas-based Brierley+Partners, which offers software solutions in loyalty, strategy, and execution to retailers. Capillary Technologies has grown 3.5x times in the US since the acquisition of Persuade in 2021, and this acquisition consolidates its position as a platform of choice for loyalty technologies, the company said in a press release. In more startup news, Speciale Invest, a venture capital firm focused on early-stage investments in deep science and enterprise technologies, yesterday, announced the launch of a new fund aimed at growth-stage ventures, the Speciale Invest Growth Fund I. The new fund has an initial investment of Rs. 100 crore and has received approval from SEBI to fund startups at series A and above, according to a press release.

B., Gesierich, B., Laredo, F., Wehn, A. C., Khalin, I., Bayer, P., Liesz, A., Gokce, O., Plesnila, N. Abstract: Incomplete reperfusion of the microvasculature (no-reflow) after ischemic stroke damages salvageable brain tissue. Previous ex-vivo studies suggest pericytes are vulnerable to ischemia and may exacerbate no-reflow, but the viability of pericytes and their association with no-reflow remains underexplored in vivo. Using longitudinal in vivo 2-photon single-cell imaging over seven days we show 87% of pericytes constrict during cerebral ischemia, remain constricted post-reperfusion and 50% of the pericyte population are acutely damaged. Moreover, we reveal ischemic pericytes are fundamentally implicated in capillary no-reflow by limiting and arresting blood flow within the first 24 hours post-stroke. Despite sustaining acute membrane damage, we observe up to 80% of cortical pericytes survive ischemia, upregulate unique transcriptomic profiles and replicate. Finally, we demonstrate delayed recovery of capillary diameter by ischemic pericytes after reperfusion predicts vessel reconstriction in the sub-acute phase of stroke. Cumulatively, these findings demonstrate surviving cortical pericytes remain both viable and promising therapeutic targets to counteract no-reflow after ischemic stroke.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.16.520779v1?rss=1 Authors: Giblin, J., Kura, S., Ugarte Nunuez, J. L., Zhang, J., Kureli, G., Jiang, J., Boas, D. A., Chen, I. A. Abstract: Disruptions in capillary flow have the potential to drive pathology across numerous diseases. But our understanding of the temporal and spatial dynamics of these events are hindered by slow volumetric imaging rates and the reliance on laborious manual analysis to process data. To address the challenges of increasing volumetric imaging speed, we use a custom-built Bessel beam two-photon microscope for efficient volumetric imaging of the capillary network. We demonstrate its ability to continuously monitor roughly 200 capillaries for capillary flow stoppages (i.e. stalling events) at a frame rate of approximately 0.5 Hz and develop a semi-automated correlation-based approach for identifying these stalling events. We applied our system and algorithm in a photothrombotic model of stroke and show elevated levels of stalling 1-week post-stroke in regions both within and outside of the stroke region, demonstrating that stalling may have impacts on stroke recovery that extend past the acute stage.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days. XX In the news is brought to you by T1D Exchange! T1D Exchange is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving outcomes for the entire T1D population. https://t1dexchange.org/stacey/ XX Australian scientists say they have a new way to restore insulin production in pancreatic cells, using a drug that's already approved for use in humans. In lab experiments on pancreatic stem cells from donors with type 1 diabetes, the team was able to activate them to begin expressing insulin by exposing them to a drug compound known as GSK126. These cells don't normally produce insulin, but the drug let them functionally step into the shoes of the beta cells that had stopped working. In principle, a single course of this kind of drug over a few days could replace the need for regular insulin shots in diabetics. The new treatment would work much faster, within a matter of days, and without the need for surgery. But perhaps the biggest advantage is that GSK126 is already approved by the US FDA and elsewhere in the world as a treatment for cancer. Its safety profile is already being assessed in clinical trials, which could reduce hurdles down the road for its use against diabetes. That said, the scientists caution that it is still very early days. These experiments were conducted on cells in culture – not even in animals yet – so there's still plenty of work to do. Nevertheless, it remains an intriguing new possible tool. https://newatlas.com/medical/diabetes-breakthrough-insulin-production-existing-drug/   XX Couple of big announcements from Tandem Diabetes this week. They've widened the roll out of their Mobile Bolus feature, now open to all customers with in-warranty tslim x2 pumps and compatible smart phones. Approved earlier this year, it has been available for a few weeks to a small group of users. https://www.tandemdiabetes.com/products/software-apps/tconnect-mobile XX Tandem also announced it acquired infusion set developer Capillary Biomedical, an infusion set maker. To quote the press release: Capillary Biomedical's unique extended wear infusion set technology is currently in development and not commercially available. The company designed its SteadiFlow seven-day-wear infusion set technology to significantly extend patient wear time to a week and maintain insulin stability. Capillary Biomedical received FDA investigational device exemption for the platform in January of this year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-diabetes-acquires-capillary-biomedical-infusion/ XX Dexcom is launching their G6 mobile app in Spanish. It is estimated that 11.8% of U.S. Latino adults have diagnosed diabetes. Dexcom says, “ “Launching the Dexcom G6 app in Spanish is a positive step toward improving health equity for individuals with diabetes who primarily speak Spanish.” To access the Dexcom G6 mobile app in Spanish, users need to install the latest version of the app and set their compatible iOS (v1.10.1) or Android (v1.10.0) smartphone* language to Spanish (any dialect/region). The app will automatically display in Spanish as long as the phone language is set to Spanish. XX   Big issue for a diabetes app in the UK. CamAps FX is an automated insulin delivery system that works with Dexcom and Tandem. But Google has blocked it from the Play Store and won't let it send text message alerts. Camdiab, the company behind it, is having to send the messages via another service and pay for each one individually. Google said it doesn't allow any apps, other than the designated text message app on a device, to send SMS messages. CamAps FX spent 15 years in development by experts at Cambridge University and was the first system of its kind to be recommended by the NHS for use by children from the age of one, and pregnant people. We'll see if the court of public opinion has any sway on what happens here.   https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-62184812 XX   Should we get excited about a new smart necklace said to measure glucose in sweat? Ohio State University recently presented the necklace, which has a clasp and pendant with biochemical sensors installed on the back so that when placed around the neck, it could capture the sweat and analyze glucose, serotonin, sodium, potassium, and hydrogen levels. In one experiment where people cycled  and drank sugary drinks, the sweat measured the increased glucose levels with a 98.9% accuracy. They didn't really say what that means, though. Long way to go here but interesting idea.   https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/38989/20220726/smart-necklace-track-wearers-health-status-98-9-accuracy-using.htm XX The T1D Exchange Registry is a research study conducted online over time, designed to foster innovation and improve the lives of people with T1D. The platform is open to both adults and children with T1D living in the U.S. Personal information remains confidential and participation is fully voluntary. Once enrolled, participants will complete annual surveys and have the opportunity to sign up for other studies on specific topics related to T1D. The registry aims to improve knowledge of T1D, accelerate the discovery and development of new treatments and technologies, and generate evidence to support policy or insurance changes that help the T1D community. By sharing opinions, experiences and data, patients can help advance meaningful T1D treatment, care and policy. The registry is now available on the T1D Exchange website and is simple to navigate, mobile and user-friendly. For more information or to register, go to www.t1dregistry.org/stacey XX A new Netflix movie featuring type 1 is getting a lot of attention: Called Purple Hearts, it tells the story of Aspiring singer-songwriter Cassie Salazar (Sofia Carson). The synopsis says: Chasing her dreams isn't exactly easy when she's juggling multiple jobs and trying to keep her Type I diabetes at bay. Raised by an immigrant single mother and navigating a cruel health-care system, Cassie has seen how the “Land of the Free” has been everything but for people like her. After learning that Marine spouses get full health benefits and extra pay, Cassie comes up with an idea to marry one. Although the marriage is temporary, their true feelings for each other are revealed when an unexpected tragedy sends her now husband home earlier than expected. I've reached out to the film makers. We'll see if this one gets type 1 right.. but it sounds like they understand some of the health care system. XX Next week I'm talking to Jeff Ryan, who was diagnosed with type 1 as a little kid back in 1971. He also lives with an essential tremor, and was one of the first people to have brain surgery for it. Which was very successful. The long format episode out right now is with Sebastien Sassville who tals about completed the race across America – a coast to coast cycling race in just 12 days.

Dr Vanessa Smith, Ghent University Hospital, Belgium, and Dr Marwan Bukhari discusses Dr Smith's paper which proposed simple capillaroscopic definitions to describe capillary morphology. Currently different definitions are used for single capillaries across studies; these definitions would allow a common language in the literature. The study, carried out on behalf of the EULAR study group on microcirculation, demonstrated the definitions are reliable for evaluating capillary abnormalities.
