What would a comprehensive and rigorous regimen of Torah study look like? Suppose someone wants to really become a Torah maestro. What would be a fitting schedule of course work for them to become a well-rounded Torah scholar? Torah is the antidote to the evil inclination. How much Torah and how many Torah domains and disciplines must the person be immersed in in order to have the antidote fully administered? In this very interesting and different sort of podcast, we learn the principles of the two types of Talmud study.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, Wes Read, CPA, CFP, sits down with Dr. Bob Marcus to unpack one of the most critical and misunderstood challenges in dentistry: case acceptance.Dr. Marcus—seasoned clinician, educator, and practice management consultant—shares what separates practices that thrive from those that just get by. From mindset to method, he reveals how confidence, communication, and bundling treatment can elevate both patient care and profitability.Together, Wes and Bob explore why many dentists unknowingly sabotage their own case presentations—and how to reverse that by shifting from features to feelings, and from hesitation to leadership. You'll also learn how the financial structure of a practice makes case acceptance not just a clinical skill, but an economic necessity.The Five Steps to Better Case Presentation1. The Care Scale Gauge the patient's investment in their dental health. Ask something simple: “Is it important to you to keep your teeth healthy?” That first "yes" sets the tone.2. Permission Ask if it's okay to share what you've found. This builds respect and reduces defensiveness. “Would you mind if I walked you through what I'm seeing?”3. Consequences Communicate what happens if nothing is done—without fear tactics. Focus on clarity.4. Outcomes Frame your recommendation around benefits. What will life feel like afterward?5. Feelings People remember how you made them feel, not just what you said. Build trust and human connection.Key TakeawaysEthical selling is essential: Private practice requires guiding patients toward smart, timely decisions—not just diagnosing.Comprehensive care creates real value: Don't settle for “cosmodontistry.” Reactive care keeps you busy, not profitable.Confidence is contagious: If you believe in the treatment plan, patients are far more likely to say yes.Track performance: Simple measurement of case acceptance and treatment conversions can spark major improvements.Bundle treatment to boost margins: Fewer appointments, less overhead, and greater financial return—for both you and the patient.Connect with Dr. Bob Marcus www.bobmarcusdmd.com#DentalBoardroomPodcast #CaseAcceptance #DentalPracticeSuccess #PatientCommunication #DentalLeadership #BobMarcusDMD #ComprehensiveDentistry #DentalBusiness #DentistTips #PrivatePracticeGrowth #DentalEconomics

Seoul, Korea episode Listener Story Spotlight A friend and a listener named Lois recently went to Hawaii. She told me she spent much time getting travel insurance for herself and her partner. She had to pay more than she expected as her partner was having a birthday between the day she bought the service and the day of the trip. But she said it was well worth it for her peace of mind. The FAQ for today is: Where to find the best travel insurance for a long trip abroad. 1. Start with a neutral comparison engine; you can see this in the show notes. Why use it first? Where to click Smart filters to enable It lets you price 30-day single-trip plans from dozens of underwriters side-by-side, then click through to the policy certificate in one step. Squaremouth (toggle "Comprehensive" or "Medical-only" to see apples-to-apples pricing). Squaremouth Travel Insurance Medical ≥ $100k, Evac≥ $250k, "Cancel for Any Reason" if you want maximum flexibility. Gives you consumer-written claim reviews plus AM Best financial ratings in the results grid. InsureMyTrip (same data feed as Squaremouth but different sort logic). Add "PIf relevant, existing condition waiver" if rek "Adventure sports" if you'll hike or dive. Pulls quotes from some insurers that don't feed aggregators (e.g., Allianz's higher-tier plans) and lists A.M. Best scores. TravelInsurance.com Use the "24/7 assistance" toggle to see which plans outsource helplines. Skeptical check: All three make a commission, and none of them has every carrier. Run your trip through at least two engines and see if the so-called "cheapest" plan is available.     2. Cross-reference with an independent ranking list U.S. News "Best Travel Insurance Companies 2025" ranks plans by coverage and claim-paying history—not advertising spend. It's a fast way to see which names (Travelex, Allianz, Tin Leg, etc.) consistently show up in the top tier. U.S. News     3. See what other solo women say SoloTravelerWorld.com keeps an updated "Best Travel Insurance for Solo Travelers" guide that spells out what to look for if you're traveling alone—single-supplement benefits, harassment coverage, and 24-hour crisis lines. Solo Traveler AbsolutelyLucy.com lays out five red flags that matter disproportionately to women (e.g., personal-assault medical limits, emergency contraception exclusions). Absolutely Lucy Read these before you fall for glossy Instagram ads that treat "female-friendly" as a slogan.     4. Kick the tires on the insurer's site If a plan looks good in a marketplace, open the policy certificate directly on the carrier's website (World Nomads, SafetyWing, Allianz, IMG, etc.). World Nomads publishes unfiltered claim reviews, which help sniff out chronic payout delays. World Nomads     5. Verify what your government will—or won't—do The U.S. State Department's Insurance Coverage Overseas page makes it crystal-clear that Uncle Sam does not pay your hospital bill or med-evac. It also links to the embassy medical resources for every country, which tells you how far the nearest trauma center is from your trekking trail. Travel.gov     6. Double-check your credit-card benefits Cards in your wallet may cover trip delays, baggage loss, or secondary car rental insurance. The Points Guy keeps a running tally of cards whose built-in coverage is worth something and where the gaps are (e.g., no medical evacuation).     How to use these resources efficiently Quote your exact dates (don't round your trip to a calendar month; excess days add cost). Filter for medical & Evac first; those two benefits can bankrupt you. Ignore marketing buzzwords like "explorer" or "adventure" until you've opened the PDF certificate and searched for the activity you plan to do. Run your final four shortlist past recent claim reviews (Squaremouth, Trustpilot, Reddit r/solotravel) to see if the carrier ghosted people during COVID or the Israel–Gaza cancellations. You can purchase directly from the insurer once you've chosen, which avoids aggregator change fees if you need to modify dates. Stay curious, question every "Top 10" list's methodology, and you'll land the coverage that fits your risk profile—nothing more, nothing less. 60-second confidence challenge 3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select walkable neighborhoods with public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at daylight, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more challenging.  To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either.   If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my book dives deeper—https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com   See Book A for addressing all of these items. Find it on the website or Amazon. It's a series. Today's destination is:  South Korea  I visited South Korea last month. I landed at Seoul's Inchon Airport. My Korean pronunciation is not good, so please understand that as I describe my trip. I was excited to see the city through the eyes of my friend Chris. We were whisked away to a hotpot dinner, then taken to the French neighborhood in Seoul, where we rested for the night. The next morning, we drove south to visit a town about 2 hours away and stayed in Wolbong-ro (Road), in Seobuk-gu, near SeongJeong.   For example, the Seoul Noryyanglin Fisheries Wholesale Market is five stories tall and open to the public. It's worth seeing if you like seafood, and you can roam the aisles looking for your favorite fish delicacies.   I visited the Vovo Bidet company and met with the director and some of his team. Have you seen the #1 Bidet firm in Korea? They have retail and wholesale offices in the Los Angeles area, too. I liked the tour of the offices here in Seoul. They even have a Bidet to go. Think about that for a minute. That was in Daebang-dong or Seocho4-dong. I visited retail stores such as Zara, one of my favorites for fashion. I had Chinese, Japanese, and Fusion foods. I took subways, busses, taxis, and Ubers plus trains. I went to Gwannghumun Square, the purple Station #9. I went to the shopping mall called The Hyundai. and found stores like Zanmang Loopy, the Hyundai Present, and a great coffee and tea shop. I learned about Hanguel, the Korean alphabet, and saw the statue of Sejong the Great. There was also another statue of Admiral YiSun Sin. The Bukchon Honok Village is a quiet residential area. Jogyasa Temple is where you will see Buddism. Hongdae is the neighborhood for independent artists.   Yonsei University was a place I wanted to visit next time, as I was in the neighborhood and liked it a lot. Gangnam style, well, maybe next time. I tried new foods, such as mung bean pancakes and hotleok desserts. We had a wonderful dinner at Sushi-ya Shabu-ya, about an hour from Seoul, near Korea Nazarene University in Cheonan-si-Buldang1-dong. Recommended: Relax in a tea house. Smart Move and Slip up pairings In Korea, we were departing from the airport without enough money on our transit cards, so we could not enter the building. Instead, we had to see the office at the kiosk and pay for the train. It was not much, but it did take a few minutes. We arrived well ahead of the recommended 3 hours, so that was not an issue. 60 second confidence challenge Do you or don't you tip? Not in South Korea. But it's always smart to ask. Be confident when you know what the expectations are.   Resources Roundup   If you are looking for more solo female travel resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls, such as paying the difference on the transit card when you go long distances or knowing when to tip.   When you get lost, don't get upset. Get found. You will be better off if you cool down instead of heating your brain incorrectly. Chill, and you'll be found sooner. Dr. Travelbest's tip #760.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the commonly used drugs in reducing pain, inflammation, and fever. And the question that rises is whether it is possible to relieve back pain without relying on NSAIDs. And, yes, it is possible to find relief from back pain without relying on NSAIDs. Alternative methods for managing back pain include physical therapy, exercise, stretching, heat or cold treatment, and mindfulness practices like yoga or meditation. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as improving posture, reducing weight, or managing stress can also help alleviate pain. Working with a healthcare practitioner can be very beneficial if the pain is persistent. Home care Home care remedies that can help relieve back pain, including heat and cold therapy, and gentle and low-impact exercises, like swimming and walking, can help strengthen the muscles supporting your spine to improve flexibility. Maintaining a straight posture while sitting and standing and a suitable sleeping position can prevent additional strain on your back. Also, gentle massage on the affected area can reduce muscle tension risks of future injury. Chiropractic Care Chiropractic care includes spinal adjustments by a professional to realign the spine, relieve nerve pressure, and reduce the pain. You can also embrace soft tissue therapy techniques such as massage to help alleviate tension and improve circulation, thus reducing back pain. In addition, chiropractors often provide activities that strengthen muscles to support the spine, enhancing flexibility and promoting better posture. Comprehensive care with movement The simple activities we engage in daily, including walking and stretching, can help with back pain without the need for NSAIDs. The comprehensive therapy combines physical activities to strengthen the core, improve flexibility, and promote proper posture. Such activities include low-impact ones like swimming, walking, and stretching regularly. However, you must be mindful of tai chi and yoga practices to alleviate back strain. ·         Decompression therapy  Using a specialized decompression table, a chiropractor will apply gentle traction to create intervertebral spaces for the compressed disks to retract and ease pressure on the surrounding nerves. Please do not lose this golden opportunity for your long-sought back pain and sciatica relief. Please book an appointment with our chiropractor for the best back pain and sciatica remedies. Long-term use of NSAIDs is not good as such drugs may lead to complications such as gastrointestinal complications, kidney issues, cardiovascular risks such as a surge in the risk of stroke and heart attack, and reduced effectiveness in treating chronic pain. Instead of using NSAIDs for back pain and sciatica relief, you can use physical therapy, proper home and work ergonomics, heat or cold therapies, and lifestyle modification. And if you need more guidance on how you can relieve back pain without NSAIDs and understanding why using NSAIDs long-term is not good, talk to Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, for assistance!

Dr. Hieshetter's clinical practice is underpinned by rigorous research, patient-centered care, and a deep commitment to improving health outcomes through innovative approaches like low-level laser therapy. Episode Summary: In this compelling episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves into the intricacies of gut health and its profound impact on overall wellness. She opens with a nod to her previous episode about low-level laser therapy in neurodegenerative diseases and its life-changing potential for children. Transitioning into the current discussion, Dr. Hieshetter elaborates on how gut health significantly influences various symptoms like GI upset, brain fog, and mental health deterioration, emphasizing a holistic clinical approach. Amid her exploration of gut microbiome, Dr. Hieshetter sheds light on the critical role of nutritional choices and exposure to toxins such as MSG, aspartame, and glyphosate. Highlighting the connection between gut imbalances and systemic diseases, she shares a powerful story of a patient who traveled from Florida seeking relief from chronic gastrointestinal issues. Through advanced gut testing, Dr. Hieshetter outlines her integrative treatment strategies, underscoring the significance of vibrant gut health and its direct correlation with mental well-being, autoimmune disorders, and even neurological diseases like Parkinson's. Key Takeaways: Gut health is intricately linked to brain health, influencing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline. Functional testing, such as Vibrant America's Gut Zoomer, plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating gut imbalances. Avoiding harmful substances like excitotoxins and pesticides is crucial for maintaining gut and overall health. Comprehensive treatment plans, including probiotics, dietary changes, and low-level laser therapy, can significantly improve quality of life. Emotional and mental health often improve alongside physical well-being in cases of severe gut imbalances. Notable Quotes: "When there are things that I know the world needs, I know my patients need, they keep walking through my door without me asking." "Your gut microbiome is a major protector of that." "Pesticides like paraquat, they inhibit autophagy… It cleans out cancer cells that shouldn't be there." "Stop eating pesticides. Avoid them at all costs." "It's a really different topic to check out, but for the repeat listeners, you know, it's been a great journey for us all here."

We've all heard of medical malpractice and its dire costs, but what about leadership malpractice? Should there be consequences or at least more resistance to those implementing non-evidence-based leadership tactics in academic medicine? Those questions and much more are explored in depth with our guest this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast, author Joshua Hartzell, MD, MS-HPEd, FACP, FIDSA, who joins us to discuss: Leadership responsibility and development Cultural strategies from the military that could be woven into academic health Excellence through empathy and compassion Utilizing delegation as a growth opportunity for others With 25 years in military medicine under his belt, Dr. Hartzell is a retired army colonel and a practicing internal medicine and infectious diseases physician. It's all about being more intentional with how we lead and taking care of people—that is what a healthy workplace culture rides on, according to this interview with Dr. Hartzell. "Most of the things we experience and our challenges are not clinical care issues. It's a leadership issue. We're really good at the clinical care part, but not so much the messy leadership stuff and how to deal with that," he said.

Originally uploaded March 6th, reloaded May 3rd. Chris Holman welcomes back Nick Chaffin, Program Compliance Officer, CAMW! Capital Area Michigan Works! Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties. THEME: Capital Area Michigan Works! reviews the Rapid Response program and its role in supporting employers and employees through a layoff. Question: What is the Rapid Response program and how does it support businesses facing layoffs or closures? The Rapid Response Program aims to respond to downsizing and closures that impact our region's workforce, enabling those affected to return to work as soon as possible. The program's benefits are two-fold: supporting employees impacted by job loss and benefiting businesses as they navigate business changes. We know that layoffs are a difficult decision for employers to make. By working with our Rapid Response Team, employers can implement strategies before a layoff to prevent downsizing or ensure their employees are supported and connected to other available employment opportunities if a layoff is truly needed. Additional employer benefits include: Minimizing disruption during workforce transitions. Implementing cost-friendly aversion strategies that reduce turnover and recruitment costs. Connections to financial aid, training and incentives. The program helps employees who experience layoffs find new positions that match their skill sets. Employees may also receive early intervention to help them make informed decisions concerning their future and employment services including training and income support. Through the combined efforts of local workforce boards, economic development organizations and other stakeholders, Rapid Response helps communities address the broader economic impact of significant layoffs or closures, supports efforts to revitalize local economies and helps employees find opportunities to reenter the workforce quickly. Question: What steps does the Rapid Response program take to support impacted employees? If layoffs are unavoidable, a worker orientation meeting will be organized, where the CAMW! team will meet with affected employees and connect them with information and support in finding a new job. Rapid Response meetings with the workforce are designed to help the employees file for Unemployment Insurance and get established with their local Michigan Works! Agencies. Some of the resources provided in meetings include: Basic assessment, job development, advanced screened referrals, group activities and job search support. Comprehensive personalized assessments, counseling, case management, literacy activities, out-of-area job search and relocation assistance. Training opportunities like on-the-job training, workplace training with instruction, registered apprenticeships, skill upgrading & retraining so workers can perform transitional jobs. CAMW! staff will also provide information on the WIOA Dislocated Workers program, an initiative designed to help workers get back to work as quickly as possible after losing their jobs due to layoffs, plant closures or other economic factors.

Are you experiencing mild to severe pains along the regions with nerves interconnecting with the sciatic nerve? You may be suffering from sciatica. Such pain, tingling, or irritation can extend to the lower back, hips, butts or legs, with some individuals experiencing it as far as on the feet and toes. Treating or managing sciatica entails alleviating the pain or irritation and enhancing mobility. If you are a victim of sciatica, you need not worry because some of the treatment options are easy therapies that you can do on yourself. Such tips include the following;  Chiropractic therapy This therapy involves performing several spinal manipulations to align the spinal cord. Such manipulations help detect and reduce the misalignments of the spine that may interfere with the sciatic nerve, hence relieving pain. Chiropractic therapy techniques include soft tissue therapy and posture correction, among others. Decompression therapy If you are experiencing back pain associated with health conditions such as spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or herniated discs, there is hope for you. All you need is for the doctor to use a specialized traction table to slowly stretch your spine and create negative pressure within the discs. This allows the compressed discs to retract and relieve pressure on nearby nerves, thus resulting in pain relief and healing. An appointment with our chiropractor will get you the best back pain and sciatica remedies. Home care                             Home care therapy has become rampant in modern society. It is highly preferred because everyone can take good care of their loved ones and monitor their progress. Finding relief from sciatica at home can be effective with a combination of self-care strategies, including stretching exercises, heat and cold therapy, maintaining good posture, staying active, and mindful relaxation techniques such as meditation. Comprehensive care with movement You're already covered if you are seeking to relieve sciatica pain through comprehensive care with movement. An appointment with our chiropractor will help you get the proper guidance on the most effective strategies, such as: Stretching exercises Stretching exercises significantly impact sciatica nerve relief because of the relaxation effect of stretching your muscles. Stretches such as the hamstring and knee-to-chest stretch will bring positive results and sciatica relief.  Strengthening Exercises These exercises help by targeting muscles that support the spine and pelvis, a good example being the bridges. Low-Impact Aerobic Activities Engage in low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or cycling. These can improve circulation and reduce inflammation without putting too much strain on your back. Yoga and Pilates You can incorporate yoga and Pilates into your routine to improve flexibility, strength, and body awareness. These practices can be beneficial in relieving sciatica pain. Other helpful activities include posture, body mechanics, and heat and ice therapy. If symptoms persist, kindly book an appointment with Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC to receive the most personalized care based on your needs.

The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, better known as the CTBT, expressly prohibits its signatories from testing nuclear weapons. It was opened for signature in 1996 and is now one of the most widely adopted treaties in the world.  Since the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty was opened for signature in 1996, there have been ten nuclear tests conducted worldwide. These include two tests by India and two by Pakistan in 1998, and six tests by North Korea between 2006 and 2017 .​ This limited number of tests since 1996 stands in stark contrast to the more than 2,000 nuclear tests conducted in the preceding five decades, highlighting the CTBT's significant role in establishing a global norm against nuclear testing My guest today, Robert Floyd, is the Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Test-Ban Treaty Organization, which—as the name suggests—is the international body responsible for monitoring and facilitating the implementation of this treaty. It does so, in part, through a sophisticated global monitoring system capable of detecting a nuclear test anywhere in the world. I sat down with Robert Floyd on the sidelines of the Carnegie International Nuclear Policy Conference in Washington, DC, earlier this month, where he explained why the CTBT has been so successful in constraining nuclear testing—and what challenges the treaty now faces amid a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape. This episode is produced in partnership with Lex International Fund, a philanthropic fund dedicated to strengthening international law to solve global challenges.
