What does healthcare need to function like a well-oiled machine? Smarter care coordination. We connected with David Stone, CEO and Co-Founder of TransformativeMed, to discuss why care coordination remains one of healthcare's most important challenges and how agentic AI technologies can help teams work together more effectively. Behind every patient discharge and treatment plan are dozens of clinicians, nurses, case managers, therapists, social workers, support staff, and now AI agents working together to move care forward. From autonomous discharge planning to risk stratification and AI governance, this conversation offers a practical look at how health systems can deploy low-risk, high-impact AI tools that support clinicians without compromising patient safety.

Procurement's ‘hidden' operational costs often sit in the coordination required to get work done across the business. Beyond the hours spent chasing stakeholders, locating contracts, reconstructing negotiation history, and digging through systems, teams can lose value through delayed savings, unsustainable supplier agreements, and the opportunity cost of focusing on transactions instead of more strategic work.  Procurement works with nearly every other function, and so these costs can accumulate in the gaps between teams without ever appearing in traditional performance metrics. In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Mike Fedorov to the show. Mike is the Chief Operating Officer and Co-CEO at Applied AI Labs. He has over 25 years worth of hands-on operations and supply chain experience, and he has either run or turned around operations for some of the most complex companies in the world. Listen in to hear Mike explain: Where procurement is most vulnerable to getting pulled into cross-functional busy work The difference between work that creates value and work that simply keeps a process moving How procurement should think about data readiness without getting stuck waiting for perfect data Links: Mike Fedorov on LinkedIn

C dans l'air du 9 septembre 2026 avec Annie Genevard, ministre de l'Agriculture.Suite à la sécheresse exceptionnelle de cet été 2026, la ministre de l'Agriculture a annoncé vendredi 4 septembre un plan d'un milliard d'euros pour venir en aide aux agriculteurs, une première réponse qui a été critiquée par les syndicats agricoles. « Ce plan ne permettra pas de sauver les exploitations menacées », a déploré François Walraet, secrétaire général de la Coordination rurale, alors que le ministère évoque de 30 000 à 35 000 fermes en grande difficulté. Les paysans constatent chaque jour un peu plus les dégâts du changement climatique sur leur manière de produire : prairies grillées impropres à nourrir les bêtes, cultures et légumes rabougris, pommes de terre, betteraves, maïs qu'ils s'apprêtent à récolter ... Les pertes sur l'ensemble du territoire représenteraient « plus de 10 milliards d'euros », selon Arnaud Rousseau, président de la Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles (FNSEA). Les discussions doivent se poursuivre, notamment sur l'adaptation du secteur au changement climatique, alors que le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu a donné rendez-vous aux agriculteurs mi-octobre pour un premier bilan des aides.

Send us Fan MailGraham Tuttle is a coach and author who helps people reclaim their natural athleticism by rebuilding the movement foundations that modern life often strips away.

Yesterday I asked if this ‘coordinate not to build dangerous AI' problem was actually easy. Why would I think that, contrary to so much belief? Well, I don't feel like I've actually heard much about the detail of it. In my experience people don't talk about it like it's a real practical problem with details, like the negotiation to end a war. They also don't talk about it like it's a serious problem of global geopolitical import, like the negotiation to end a war. It's more like a topic for obscure intellectuals, sophomores and trolls to discuss for as long as it takes for one to mention it and another to assuredly dismiss it. If we treated negotiation to end a war similarly, state leaders would never attempt it, and if you suggested it on social media, the conversation would mostly be strangers appearing to tell you you're an idiot because you obviously can't coordinate thousands of people not to kill each other. (Also, do you not realize there are big financial incentives? And if you somehow stopped Country A from killing people from Country B, Country A is just going to pay someone else to do it!)

Security policy has traditionally been built around the state: its borders, its military capability, its ability to deter external threats. Gender-based violence rarely features, despite being one of the most persistent and predictable forms of harm in the world, in peacetime and exacerbated during conflict. Treating gender-based violence solely as a private, social, health or humanitarian issue without recognition of it as a security one has consequences: it shapes what gets funded, what gets measured, and whose safety counts as a matter of state responsibility. When it comes to policy, prevention and intervention, the gap between that recognition and practice remains stark, and the impact through violence, displacement and death, notably femicide, continues to rise alongside global military spending. By comparison, funding to address gender-based violence remains miniscule. This event asks what it would mean to take that gap seriously: why gender-based violence functions as both a cause and a consequence of insecurity, and what a security framework would look like if it were built around who is actually being harmed. This event is a collaboration between La Trobe Centre for Global Security and Reducing Gender Based Violence Network (ReGEN). Speakers: Professor Elizabeth Miller (Deputy Director (Strategic Planning and Coordination), Integrated Center for Women's Health) Desireé LaGrappe (Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery, La Trobe University and Chair, ReGEN) Dr Jessica Ison (Deputy Director, Reducing Gender-Based Violence Research Group (ReGEN), La Trobe Rural Health School) Dr Natasha Singh Raghuvanshi (Politics and International Relations, La Trobe University) Professor Bec Strating (Director, La Trobe Centre for Global Security) Emeritus Professor Dennis Altman (Vice-Chancellor's Fellow, La Trobe University) Recorded on 1st September, 2026.

In this episode of Software People Stories, Gayathri Kalyanaraman speaks with Vasu Vadlamani, a technology leader, architect, entrepreneur and Professor of Practice, about a career that has evolved alongside the software industry itself. About his accidental start to an AI Era tech leader who's defining mantra has been Every role has an expiration date! Vasu takes us back to the early 1990s, when software meant client-server systems, handwritten notes and face-to-face communication. From his early work with Citibank to working with Sun Microsystems, building a professional services organization, experiencing the disruption that followed Oracle's acquisition of Sun, and later taking on technology and architecture roles at HCL and Cognizant, his journey reflects several waves of technology transformation.But perhaps the most interesting transition came later.While working at Cognizant, Vasu found himself asking a fundamental question: Why should the gap between college education and industry readiness be so large?This led him to work with educational institutions with a very practical goal — to make graduates industry-ready much sooner. Eventually, that became the driving force behind his move from corporate technology leadership to becoming a Professor of Practice.Today, Vasu sees himself less as a software professional and more as someone whose purpose is to help people do their best — in technology, in their careers and in their interactions with others.The conversation explores:The early days of software and how dramatically the industry has evolvedWhy business understanding helped Vasu become a better software professionalBuilding and scaling a technology services organization from zero to 150 peopleNavigating the difficult period when the Sun Microsystems ecosystem disappearedMoving from customer-facing roles to architecting internal enterprise systemsThe philosophy of making software development “zero maintenance”Why the gap between education and industry continues to matterMaking graduates “production ready” rather than simply degree readyWhy professors also need exposure to real-world engineeringCreating safe, sandboxed opportunities for faculty and students to work on real enterprise use casesWhat AI means for technology careersWhy roles will change, but technology itself isn't going awayThe importance of resilience, curiosity, teamwork and being “an engineer at heart”At the heart of the conversation is a simple message from Vasu:Don't worry about the future of technology. Keep learning, keep adapting, and keep building. There will always be a place for people who are willing to do the work and find their way.Quotable Quotes“Don't worry about AI. Roles will change. The industry will still be there.”“If you fail, use your knowledge to get up and rise again faster.”“IT is a team's play. One person alone cannot run the ship.”“The younger generation will always be smarter than me. If I can succeed, Gen Z will definitely succeed.”“If Vasu can find a way, you are much smarter than me. You will find a better way.”Vasu Vadlamani is an accomplished IT Professional offering 30 years of experience in integrating Technical and Domain expertise (Financial Services), focusing on Large Complex Digital Transformation Initiatives. An efficient Communicator possessing strong Coordination, Interpersonal, Mentoring and Team Management Skills. Cross Functional Services Leader managing multi geo, multi service line deliveries for over $440+M. Vasu was  CTO of ADM Insurance Domain, responsible to create and execute an Information Technology Strategy to modernize enterprise technological applications, moving away from their legacy apps to modern On Cloud tech stack.

What does hand-eye coordination have to do with following Jesus?In this powerful message, Pastor Brady Black explores what it means to function as the Body of Christ and why every person has a unique and indispensable role in God's Kingdom. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, we are reminded that the church is made up of many different parts, but we are all one body, working together toward the same goal: Jesus.Through a football illustration, Pastor Brady shows how something as simple as catching a ball requires the entire body to work together. In the same way, the church needs every person to be activated, aligned, and willing to play their part.This message challenges us to confront two major hurdles: “How can God use me?” and “How can God use them?”Your value isn't determined by your visibility, position, experience, age, or recognition. What may seem insignificant or unseen can be indispensable in the Kingdom of God. God has intentionally placed gifts, purpose, and value within each of us, and He wants to use us both inside and outside the church.Pastor Brady also challenges us to rethink how we view the next generation. Instead of pushing young people to the sidelines until they are older or more experienced, we can make room for them to lead, serve, grow, and be used by God right now. At the same time, the next generation needs adults who will mentor them, encourage them, and help them cross the finish line God has placed before them.Finally, we are reminded of what it means to be a healthy Body of Christ. When one person suffers, we all suffer. When one person is honored, we all rejoice. We are called to notice people, care for one another, carry one another's burdens, and activate our faith by stepping into the needs around us.Key Scriptures:1 Corinthians 12:12-251 Timothy 4:12In this message:• The Body of Christ and unity• Finding your value in God's Kingdom• Why visibility doesn't determine value• Discovering how God can use you• Serving and activating your gifts• The importance of every person in the church• Empowering the next generation• Mentoring and investing in young people• Caring for people who are hurting• Living as a healthy Body of Christ• Alignment, collaboration, and shared purpose• Following Jesus beyond the walls of the churchWhether you feel overlooked, unqualified, unseen, or unsure of how God could use you, this message is a reminder that you are valuable, you have a part to play, and the Body of Christ needs you.If you've just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: https://www.one.church/jesusTo Support this Ministry: https://www.one.church/giveWebsite: https://www.one.church/One Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onedotchurchOne Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onedotchurchGreg Ford Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregoryafordOne Church is on a mission to ignite a movement that reaches adisconnected culture.#onechurch #gregford #purpose

In this solo episode, Coleman Ayers challenges the basketball world's obsession — and oversimplification — of pre-practice and pre-game warm-ups, arguing the term itself undersells what those first 10-15 minutes can accomplish. Coleman makes the case for reframing "warm-ups" as "primers," explaining that language shapes how coaches, players, and parents perceive and invest in that time. He breaks priming down into three distinct categories — resistance, coordination, and cognition — and unpacks the neuroscience behind each one.Coleman walks through why resistance-based primers (like partner pushing battles) trigger a fight-or-flight response that gets athletes physically primed far faster than traditional jogging or static stretching, why coordination-based primers should feel intentionally awkward to activate the cerebellum's prediction-error system, and why cognitive primers — built around decision-making and dual-task loading — tune athletes' focus rather than just their arousal. He closes by tying all three together through the lens of the inverted-U arousal curve, offering coaches a practical framework for dosing primers based on the task, the athlete, and whether it's a practice day or a game day.Timestamps00:00 – Intro and rant on the word "warm-ups" 00:42 – Why "primer" is a better term than "warm-up" 01:50 – Language matters: primer vs. warm-up connotations 03:05 – Limitations of the standard dynamic warm-up 04:28 – Introducing the three primer categories: resistance, coordination, cognition 05:26 – Category 1: Resistance primers explained 06:13 – The science: threat signal and adrenal response 07:25 – Why the body reacts to force, not social framing 09:05 – Habituation and the need for novelty 09:37 – Instability and unpredictability vs. static resistance tools 11:26 – Time efficiency of resistance-based priming 12:55 – Long-term training effects of resistance primers 14:03 – Intermuscular coordination under unpredictable load 14:51 – Arousal as an inverted U: matching primer type to task 17:06 – Practical guidance: dosage on game days vs. practice days 18:04 – Category 2: Coordination primers explained 19:17 – Co-contractions and the "parking brake" effect 20:55 – Reciprocal inhibition and rhythmic movement 21:31 – The cerebellum as a forward-prediction model 23:41 – Why awkwardness is the sign of a good coordination primer 24:31 – Analogy: driving a familiar route vs. a new one 25:39 – Practical coordination primer examples 26:45 – Category 3: Cognitive primers explained 27:31 – The locus coeruleus and "tuning the radio" analogy 28:59 – Decision points and why most warm-ups skip them 29:29 – Dual-task loading as a diagnostic and training tool 32:16 – Individualizing primers by athlete archetype 33:00 – Closing thoughts and where to learn moreResources & LinksFree Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resources BAM Coaches Platform: https://platform.byanymeanscoaches.com/#/platform Books: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf you enjoyed this episode, here's three more that we think you may like!The Science Behind How We ACTUALLY Learn Another Coleman solo deep dive into the neuroscience of motor learning — pairs naturally with the cerebellum/prediction-error concepts covered in the coordination primer section. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19384708What Science Says About Shooting Through Fatigue Coleman breaks down a research study on how fatigue disrupts coordination and timing — a direct extension of the coordination-primer science in this episode. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19032348Degrees of Freedom: The Hidden Key to Better Basketball Coaching A Coleman solo episode on motor learning and coordination that complements the "freezing/unfreezing" ideas touched on in the coordination primer discussion. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19111236

On August 23, 2026, DEA Administrator Terry Cole told Univision that recent indictments expose senior Mexican officials working directly with the Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG, adding that U.S. authorities recently warned certain officials about their CJNG ties. In the same breath, Cole described daily, fluid communication with Mexico's Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch, framing the relationship as simultaneously cooperative and adversarial. This episode unpacks the accusations, the diplomatic tightrope both governments are walking, and what it signals about the fragile state of U.S.-Mexico security cooperation.

Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Hannah Kim, CEO and co-founder of Pocket, about the hidden operational burden that happens before a patient ever reaches the clinic door. They break down why front office teams get stretched too thin, how insurance verification and scheduling create revenue leakage, and what it looks like when a clinic automates the full pre-arrival workflow without losing the human touch. In this episode: ·       Karen frames the episode around the pre-arrival patient journey and why it matters for physical therapy clinics. ·       Hannah Kim explains Pocket's focus on automating intake, insurance verification, scheduling, and patient communications. ·       The biggest front office inefficiency is overload: one team is often handling phone calls, insurance verification, scheduling, onboarding, and patient greetings. ·       Insurance verification is more complex than checking a portal - clinics often need to call payers, confirm authorization requirements, and verify visit limits. ·       Manual verification can take hours and includes documentation, EMR entry, calculating patient responsibility, and explaining benefits to patients. ·       Growth exposes weak systems: workflows that work for one or two locations often break when a clinic scales. ·       Slow or incomplete pre-arrival responses can cause patients to book elsewhere, creating missed visits and revenue leakage. ·       Pocket aims to own the full process from start to finish, including extracting patient info from the EMR, verifying benefits, making calls when needed, creating documentation, and uploading it back into the EMR. ·       Beyond insurance, Pocket also supports intake, onboarding, case creation, first-visit scheduling, and automated patient communications. ·       Hannah shares that the best transformations free front office staff to spend more time with patients, reduce burnout, and support clinic growth without adding staff.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says it is working with its partners to support the government-led response to the devastating earthquake in Colombia. Colombian media reported that the earthquake has left over 240 people dead, with 3,770 others injured.

There are tons of things leaders should be doing. The sheer volume of advice can become a mental blizzard—a complete leadership whiteout. That is why it helps to isolate a few essential leadership practices and remind ourselves why they matter. These are not complicated theories. They are practical leadership disciplines that determine whether teams produce results, understand expectations, cooperate effectively and continue moving in the right direction. Here are eleven leadership basics worth revisiting. What should leaders focus on first? Leaders should focus chiefly on the results to be achieved rather than simply on the activities being performed. Everything happening in the organisation should move the team towards a desired outcome. That sounds obvious. However, analyse your diary and look closely at where your time is going. You may be shocked by how few appointments, meetings and activities are directly propelling important results. Busy work is seductive because it creates the sensation of progress. Emails are answered, meetings are attended and reports are produced. Yet activity is not the same as achievement. Leaders also need to plan and organise effectively around the desired result. They must coordinate everyone involved so that individual contributions combine into meaningful organisational progress. Markets change, customer expectations move and circumstances can run over the top of even a good plan. Leaders must therefore keep asking whether the current plan is still relevant, whether the organisation is properly structured and whether the balance between individual responsibility and teamwork is right. Do now: Review your calendar and identify which activities directly contribute to your organisation's most important results. Reduce, delegate or eliminate the rest. How should leaders turn major objectives into action? Major objectives should be divided into bite-sized pieces, communicated clearly and supported by deadlines, measurements and individual accountability. Large organisational goals can sound inspiring but remain useless if people do not understand what they personally need to do. Leaders must translate strategic objectives into specific actions, time targets and measurable outcomes. Every important objective needs an accountability system. Without measurement, deviation from the plan can remain invisible until it is too late to make an easy correction. The post-pandemic workplace has made this more difficult. For many organisations, the orderly pursuit of targets was replaced by constant disruption, emergency responses and scrambling to survive. Even after the immediate crisis passed, hybrid work, shifting customer behaviour and economic uncertainty continued to complicate performance management. Textbook answers are not always enough. Leaders must combine data, judgement and practical experience to decide which performance standards remain realistic. Do now: Take one major organisational objective and break it into milestones, owners, deadlines and measurable indicators of progress. How can leaders establish effective performance standards? Leaders must make expectations explicit so that people know what successful performance looks like, why it matters and how it will be measured. Vague expectations create frustration. Employees believe they are doing well, while managers quietly feel disappointed. Effective performance standards remove this ambiguity. Standards should guide people towards profitable and productive action. They should be demanding enough to encourage growth but realistic enough to maintain credibility. Leaders must also build a results-oriented attitude throughout the organisation. This means helping people develop self-reliance, confidence and ownership of their goals. Remote and hybrid work have shifted visibility. Leaders can no longer judge contribution by who arrives early, stays late or appears busy in the office. Performance is increasingly represented by customer outcomes, project completion, financial measures and numbers on a spreadsheet. Some people thrive with autonomy. Others struggle without direct supervision, informal contact and frequent teamwork. Leaders must recognise these differences rather than assuming one working style suits everyone. Do now: Ask each team member to explain what is expected of them and how success is measured. Any inconsistent answers reveal a communication gap. Can leaders really motivate their people? Leaders cannot directly inject motivation into another person. They can, however, create an environment in which people are more likely to become self-motivated. Try yelling, "Be motivated, be motivated, be motivated," at your team and see how far that gets you. Leaders can motivate themselves, but they cannot control the internal drive of another person. Their real task is to understand what helps each individual perform at their best. That may include recognition, autonomy, meaningful work, career growth, financial reward, mastery, belonging or the opportunity to contribute to something important. The correct combination varies from person to person. This is where leadership becomes difficult. There is no universal motivational switch. The leader has to understand people individually and deliver the right environment one person at a time. Leaders should also encourage creativity. Creativity can be learned, but many leaders have never studied how creative thinking works. If leaders do not know how to generate ideas, challenge assumptions or explore alternatives, they will struggle to develop those abilities in others. Do now: Ask each team member what conditions help them do their best work. Do not assume their answer will be the same as yours. How should leaders track progress and coordinate people? Leaders must track progress consistently and coordinate everyone whose contribution affects the final result, both inside and outside the organisation. Tracking progress sounds easy. The reality is that leaders are often lost in the weeds, pulled hither and thither and overwhelmed by constant urgencies. Following up on planned results gets postponed because something more immediate demands attention. Yet when leaders stop tracking, deadlines slip, responsibilities blur and small problems grow into expensive ones. Coordination has also become more demanding in remote and hybrid workplaces. When everyone was in the office, people could exchange information informally, notice emerging problems and resolve misunderstandings quickly. When employees, clients, suppliers and partners are separated, leaders must expend more time and energy ensuring that the right people know what they need to know. They must also confirm that tasks are being completed when they need to be completed. Communication cannot be left to chance. Coordination requires deliberate updates, clear decision rights and reliable follow-through. Do now: Establish a simple review rhythm showing each priority, its owner, its current status, the next action and any obstacle requiring leadership intervention. Why must leaders keep communicating purpose and teamwork? Leaders must repeatedly connect everyday work to the organisation's continuing purpose and demonstrate through their decisions that teamwork is genuinely expected. Leaders often pontificate from on high about purpose and imagine everyone is on board. They assume the message was received, understood and accepted. It is always a shock to discover that not everyone got the message—or that they interpreted it differently. Purpose must therefore be communicated repeatedly. Leaders must explain what the organisation is trying to achieve, why it matters and how each person's work contributes. They must also check for understanding rather than assuming agreement. Leadership credibility is tested most severely when a high performer refuses to act as a team player. Are you prepared to confront—or even fire—a top performer who persistently undermines teamwork? This is where the rubber meets the road. If leaders praise collaboration but tolerate the corporate outlaw who does whatever they want, everyone learns how the organisation really operates. Behaviour that is tolerated becomes part of the culture. Do now: Identify one behaviour that contradicts your stated values. Address it directly before it becomes the organisation's unofficial standard. What is the most important leadership starting point? The most important starting point is self-awareness. Very few leaders can give themselves a perfect score across all eleven areas: Focusing on results Planning and organising effectively Breaking objectives into manageable actions Establishing clear performance standards Building a results-oriented culture Creating conditions for self-motivation Developing creativity Tracking progress Coordinating people and resources Communicating organisational purpose Demonstrating leadership and teamwork I certainly cannot give myself a perfect score. Reviewing this list is a painful reminder of my own failings and imperfections. That is the point. Busy work can mask what is vital. Leaders become tied up in meetings, messages, minor decisions and operational stuff. Eventually, they lose sight of the leadership responsibilities that matter most. Let's get back to basics. We are not divine. We still have work to do on ourselves.

What happens when an AI agent is authorized to make a payment, but nobody can verify the wider agreement behind it? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Zor Gorelov of Blue Language Labs about the infrastructure businesses may need as AI agents move from answering questions to negotiating, approving, purchasing, coordinating, and settling commercial activity. Many current business processes depend on human coordination. People reconcile spreadsheets, chase signatures, confirm deliveries, review exceptions, and resolve disagreements between systems. This work often remains invisible because employees absorb the ambiguity through emails, calls, and follow-up. Agent driven business changes the speed and volume of those interactions. One agent making an isolated payment can be handled as a software transaction. Several agents coordinating dependent actions across companies, banks, suppliers, platforms, and customers creates a much larger infrastructure problem. Zor argues that authorization answers only part of the question. An agent may have permission to pay, but every participant also needs to understand what the payment covers, which conditions apply, who can approve changes, what evidence confirms delivery, and when funds should be captured, refunded, or settled. Blue Language Labs is developing an open source protocol designed to structure those commitments. Blue Documents represent machine executable agreements containing participants, permissions, obligations, conditions, and the current state of a business process. Blue Mandates provide agents with revocable authority. A business can define spending limits, permitted actions, and thresholds requiring human approval. The meeting notes include the example of a restaurant operator allowing an agent to accept smaller bookings automatically while requiring approval for catering orders involving over 20 people. Blue Timelines provide an append only, hash linked record of actions, approvals, and changes. The aim is to give participants an independent history they can use when resolving disputes, instead of relying on conflicting emails or records controlled by one company. Zor brings the concept to life through a travel package assembled by an AI agent. The agent identifies a boutique hotel with spare inventory, a restaurant with available tables, and a local guide with unused capacity. Each business defines its terms, the agent assembles the offer, and the participants approve their roles. The customer purchases one package. Payment can be authorized at the beginning and captured according to agreed conditions as the hotel, restaurant, and guide confirm fulfillment. If one participant declines or fails to deliver, predefined rules determine whether the agent finds a replacement, changes the package, or triggers a cancellation. We also consider how Blue differs from traditional workflow systems, agent orchestration tools, and blockchain smart contracts. Blue is designed for coordination across separate businesses without requiring every participant to join one company platform or use global blockchain consensus. The opportunity could be especially valuable for smaller companies. Agents may allow several independent businesses to combine inventory, services, and expertise into offers they could not create individually. Adoption will depend on whether businesses, banks, and customers trust the protocol, accept shared definitions, and retain meaningful control. What would need to be written into a machine executable agreement before your organization could rely on another company's AI agent? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts with me.

FAR.AI co-founder and CEO Adam Gleave joins Nathan to discuss FAR.AI's AI Security Leaderboard, the first systematic head-to-head evaluation of the misuse safeguards frontier developers actually ship. The findings expose a major measurement gap: while Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol withstood FAR.AI's suite, Grok 4.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro yielded hundreds of universal jailbreaks at low cost. Adam explains why many effective attacks look more like social engineering than advanced ML, why “jailbreak tax” should not be relied on for safety, and how FAR.AI scores whether a model is genuinely helping an attacker. The episode's stakes are whether AI developers can measure and harden real deployed defenses before threat actors make routine use of increasingly capable systems. - FAR.AI AI Security Leaderboard: http://leaderboard.far.ai/ - People can e-mail owsa@far.ai if they're interested in the open-weight safety accelerator grantmaking program.

Tom, Charlie and Aaron talk about Retirement Coordination, and how to mix in taxes, investments and estate planning.

Andy BurnhamAs I conclude this column on Monday afternoon Andy Burnham is taking up his position as British Prime Minister. As I dispatch these lines he is addressing the media and supporters outside 10 Downing Street. I wish him well. I also hope he will be the last British Prime Minister to interfere in Irish affairs. Our ambition is for the people of Ireland to govern ourselves. As soon as possible. When that happens we will govern Ireland in the interests of Ireland. Mr Burnham, like every British PM governs in the interests of the English establishment. He like his predecessors is a Unionist. Let's work to ensure that he is the Prime Minister who ends the Union.‘Women's Voices, Hopes for a New Ireland'Féile an Phobail is the launch pad each year of exiting new projects, and especially new books. One such book this year is ‘Women's Voices, Hopes for a New Ireland.' The book is published by Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland and will launched at 1pm on 4th August in Áras Uí Chonghaile by Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald TD.The book is compiled and edited by Grace McDermott and Aoife Ferguson and is an innovative collection of contributions from 62 women across Ireland and the diaspora sharing their hopes for the future and a new Ireland.The women are drawn from all sections of society. They are writers, actors, musicians, community workers, political activists, health workers. They include Protestant voices. This book is a mixture of written contributions, poetry, song lyrics and artwork. They reflect the experiences of these women to partition and a society that has often held them down, treated them as second-class citizens and pushed them to the margins of history.The book is being launched at this years' Féile an Phobail. The launch will be ion 4th August in Áras Uí Chonghaile on 4 August. You can register to attend here: Women's Voices- Hopes for a New Ireland Tickets, Tuesday, August 4  •  1 PM - 2 PM | EventbriteIt will also be launched at the Derry Féile on the 12 August in Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin, 37 Great James Street Derry BT48 7DF at 2pm and other events are being planned.It will be available from An Fhuiseog 55 Bóthar na bhFál, BT12 4PD, https://anfhuiseog.ie/And https://sinnfeinbookshop.com/Water Crisis in GazaImagine in the midst of this very hot, and dry weather you did not have access to fresh drinking water. Could not have a shower or bath. Wash clothes. Prepare food. Make tea or coffee whenever you want. Fill a water container for storage  in the fridge for a cold drink. Have a fridge?That is the reality of life for almost two million women and children and men living in the Gaza Strip. Israel's genocidal policies has resulted in the deliberate and targeted destruction of water, sanitation and hygiene systems (in Gaza. It has created a humanitarian catastrophe. This is especially true for women who are pregnant or are menstruating. According to a recent Oxfam report, women cannot get the water they need to keep clean and hydrated.It reports that the extensive damage to water networks, treatment facilities, and sewage systems “has crushed water production, so it is a fraction of pre-October 2023 levels.” In addition, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has revealed that Gaza's water production has dropped to less than a quarter of what it was three years ago and that 89% of water plants and sewage facilities “have been destroyed or partially damaged.”For a family in the west it's a simple matter to turn the water tap on to access all you need. In Gaza average daily use of water per person has dropped from the minimum humanitarian standard of 15 litres per day to around three litres.Rubber Bullet injures Marwan BarghoutiRegular readers will know that I have written recently on several occasions about the imprisonment and torture of Palestinian prisoner Marwan Barghouti. Marwan, now aged 67, has been held in Israeli prisons for 24 years after a widely criticised show trial in 2002. He is a senior leader in Fatah and is viewed by Palestinians as their Nelson Mandela.Over the years he has endured significant brutality but the most recent occurred in Ganot prison several weeks ago when a prison guard entered his cell and shot him in the leg with a rubber bullet. During the decades of conflict in the North rubber and plastic bullets were frequently used by the RUC and British Army. They were an attempt to terrorise citizens. Seventeen people were killed by rubber and plastic bullets. Eight of these were children and all but one was from nationalist areas.However, the Israeli rubber bullets are of a significantly different design to those used here. Israel's rubber bullets are “steel covered with a thin rubber coat.” They cause more fatalities and life changing injuries.Marwan's son Arab Barghouti, said the family only learned about the incident from his father's lawyer and that Barghouti had not received medical treatment for the injury. Two weeks ago the Arab League called for an international commission of inquiry into what it said were "repeated assaults" on Barghouti. So support freedom for Marwan Barghouti.

Industrial Talk is onsite at PowerGen and talking to Bill Kaewert, Strategic Advisor/Board Member with Stored Energy Systems about "Data Centers and DC Power Solutions". Bill Kaewert, a veteran of the power generation industry, discussed the challenges and innovations in maintaining electric power at the PowerGen conference in San Antonio. He highlighted the significant load growth due to hyperscale data centers, AI, population growth, and electrification, which has led to a 80-gigawatt reduction in dispatchable energy over the past decade. Kaewert emphasized the role of data centers in providing dispatchable power, noting they have 100 gigawatts of generators. He advocated for decentralized energy solutions, including storage and on-site generation, to address these challenges and suggested that individual and commercial entities should invest in their own power assets to mitigate rising electric bills. Outline Introduction and Overview of PowerGen Conference Scott introduces the episode of Industrial Talk, sponsored by the Propane Education and Research Council, highlighting their commitment to safety training and innovative propane-powered technology.Scott thanks listeners for their support and introduces the PowerGen conference in San Antonio, encouraging listeners to attend in 2027.Scott introduces Bill Kaewert, a power generation industry professional, and mentions his height as a joke. Bill Kaewert's Background and Role at PowerGen Bill Kaewert shares that he has been attending PowerGen for over 20 years and works for a manufacturing company specializing in power electronics.Bill discusses the primary reason for his attendance at PowerGen: the increasing demand for electric power due to load growth, hyperscale data centers, AI data centers, population growth, and electrification of transportation.He highlights the issue of retiring dispatchable generation while load growth continues, emphasizing the importance of maintaining uninterruptible electric power.Bill mentions his role at Stored Energy Systems LLC, which manufactures power electronics for critical power applications in hospitals, data centers, and government facilities. Challenges in Maintaining Electric Power Bill explains the challenges of maintaining electric power with the increasing demand and the retirement of dispatchable generation.He discusses the role of data centers in providing dispatchable power, noting that data centers have around 100 gigawatts of generators ready to rock and roll.Bill emphasizes the importance of using data center generators before an outage to prevent serious problems, such as those seen in Texas during the winter storm.He mentions the need to readdress EPA and other regulations to allow the use of standby generators before an actual outage. Innovation and Solutions in Electric Power Bill discusses the potential for innovation in electric power, with individuals and businesses using storage batteries and on-site generation.He describes the concept of prosumers, who sometimes use grid power and sometimes produce their own power for export.Bill highlights the need for experimentation and failure to find the best practices for electric power management.He mentions the role of states as laboratories of democracy in finding solutions that work best for different geographic areas. The Role of Utilities and Market Dynamics Bill and Scott discuss the inefficiencies and limitations of the existing grid and the need for more dynamic and efficient management.Bill emphasizes the importance of individual experiments and innovations in bringing your own power (BYOP) to address the challenges of the electric grid.He mentions the Texas Senate Bill Six, which incentivizes large loads to take responsibility for financing new assets and avoid stranded assets.Bill highlights the potential for revolutionizing electric power through BYOP and the role of states in implementing their own regulations. The Impact of Data Centers and Electrification Bill provides statistics from Grid Strategies LLC, showing that 35-40% of demand growth is due to population and economic growth, not data centers.He explains that only 20-25% of the demand increase is attributable to hyperscale data centers and AI, with the rest coming from electrification of transportation and other factors.Bill argues that data centers are unfairly blamed for rate increases, as they are easy targets and not the primary cause of the demand growth.He advises residential and commercial customers to take charge of their electric power and invest in on-site assets to reduce or even zero out their electric bills. Coordination of Distributed Energy Resources Bill discusses the challenges of coordinating distributed energy resources, particularly inverter-based resources, which are becoming a majority of power generation.He mentions a massive power outage in Spain last April, where inverter-based resources were a significant factor, and the ongoing investigation into the cause.Bill highlights the complexity of managing distributed energy resources and the need for coordination to avoid stability issues.He emphasizes the importance of individual commercial enterprises in contributing to the problem or averaging out the impact on the grid. Conclusion and Contact Information Bill provides his contact information, encouraging listeners to reach out to him on LinkedIn.Scott thanks Bill for the conversation and highlights the importance of the PowerGen conference for the power generation industry.Scott encourages listeners to connect with him and other industry professionals to share their stories and innovations.The episode concludes with a reminder to listeners to stay tuned for more conversations and updates from the Industrial Talk podcast.

What if the biggest barrier to better customer service isn't how quickly employees work, but how much time they lose coordinating with everyone else? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Kevin Yang, Head of AI at Front, about why customer conversations are becoming a valuable source of business intelligence, how AI can improve work across entire teams rather than simply making individuals faster, and the hidden coordination costs affecting customer operations. Kevin brings a unique perspective to the conversation. Before joining Front following its acquisition of his AI voice-of-customer company, Syllable, he spent 15 years as an entrepreneur. While building an office food delivery business, he experienced firsthand how customer conversations could reveal problems that traditional surveys and dashboards failed to identify. By analyzing customer feedback at scale, his team could connect specific issues directly to retention, account growth, and referrals. Today, AI makes it possible for companies to analyze enormous volumes of customer conversations and turn unstructured feedback into intelligence that can inform decisions across product development, sales, marketing, and customer success. Kevin shares how Front analyzes conversations to understand why deals are lost, why customers leave, and which topics are associated with higher sales conversion rates. The result is a feedback loop that helps companies direct product investment toward problems customers genuinely care about while giving sales and marketing teams a clearer understanding of the conversations that influence buying decisions. But the episode also challenges the assumption that giving every employee an AI assistant will transform productivity. Front's Coordination Tax research found that teams can spend almost three hours coordinating work for every hour spent solving customer problems. When a single customer request requires input from sales, finance, support, operations, or external systems, employees can lose time to emails, Slack messages, meetings, handoffs, and information searches. Kevin explains why making one person faster does little to solve this problem if the rest of the workflow remains fragmented. The bigger opportunity is to use AI across end-to-end processes, automatically handling research and analysis while allowing people to concentrate on work requiring judgment, empathy, relationships, and human decision-making. We also discuss the growing use of AI agents in customer operations and why governance becomes harder as companies move from experimenting with one agent to managing many. Kevin outlines the need to measure whether agents follow processes correctly, understand customer satisfaction, identify where failures occur, and continuously improve the knowledge and guidance available to AI systems. For business and technology leaders considering where to apply AI, Kevin offers a practical starting point. Map the work your teams perform into three categories: tasks AI can automate, tasks AI can support with human review, and tasks that should remain human. This helps companies focus investment where AI performs well rather than forcing automation into customer interactions that depend on empathy, context, and relationships. For anyone responsible for customer experience, AI strategy, operations, or digital transformation, this conversation provides practical ideas for turning customer conversations into business intelligence, reducing coordination friction, designing better workflows, and introducing AI agents with greater visibility and oversight. The opportunity is not simply to make individuals work faster. It is to redesign how work moves across the organization so employees spend less time coordinating and more time solving the problems that matter to customers.

Episode Summary A father and his four children were found dead in their home in Ulsan after months of severe financial hardship. While the case was ruled a murder-suicide, the discussion quickly expands beyond the crime itself into the failures of Korea's welfare system, the stigma surrounding mental health, and the bureaucratic obstacles that can leave vulnerable families without meaningful support. Joe and Shawn examine how the family had already been identified as a high-risk household and had been visited by schools, welfare officials, police, and child protection workers. Despite multiple warning signs, no agency ever developed a complete picture of the family's crisis. The episode explores whether this tragedy represents an isolated incident or a broader failure of institutions designed to protect children and families.

The wait for NRSC v. FEC is over — and it landed with a bang. On June 30th, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down federal limits on party coordinated expenditures, overruling a 25-year-old precedent and clearing the way for national party committees to spend unlimited amounts coordinating directly with their own federal candidates' campaigns.Hosts Micaela Isler, Adam Belmar, and David Schild bring back NABPAC general counsel Mark Renaud of Wiley to break down what actually changed and what didn't. Mark walks through why this ruling only touches the six national party committees — NRSC, DSCC, NRCC, DCCC, RNC, and DNC, plus the federal accounts of state parties — and doesn't touch contribution limits, disclosure rules, or coordination bans anywhere else in the system. He also flags the specific dollar limits multi-candidate PACs now need on their radar for giving to national and state party committees, and draws a bright line on earmarking: covering a member's party dues is fine, directing money toward a specific race is not.The conversation also covers why state-level coordination limits in roughly two dozen states could be the next domino to fall, and what PACs with genuinely novel questions should do while the FEC still lacks a quorum to issue advisory opinions. A clip from LexPolitica's Steve Roberts rounds things out with practical budget advice for PAC directors weighing bigger party contributions this cycle.

On today's show, we're talking about meetings, specifically the balance between enough structure to create accountability and so much meeting time that the work itself gets pushed into evenings, weekends, and sleep.I have been looking at my own calendar, and the conclusion is uncomfortable. Too much of the week is committed to talking about work. The consequence is not merely fatigue. When focused work has to be stolen from the margins of the day, commitments become less predictable. A calendar full of meetings can create the appearance of control while quietly making the organization less reliable.The research on meeting effectiveness does not support one universal format. It supports matching the communication method to the job. Routine information should usually be written. Coordination among a tightly connected team can justify a brief standup. A difficult decision may require a longer working session. A formal operating review can make sense when leaders must examine performance, challenge assumptions, allocate resources, and leave with consequential decisions. Meeting science makes a useful distinction. If the purpose is simply to broadcast routine, non-urgent information, there is little reason to synchronize six calendars. Good asynchronous communication requires context, clarity, ownership, and documentation. It is not the absence of management. Done properly, it is management without forcing everyone to stop at the same moment.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

Colonel Jeff McCausland recounts how, on July 3, Robert E. Lee initiates a bold assault aimed at the Union center on Cemetery Ridge, though faulty assumptions regarding troop strength and coordination plague the plan. A massive two-hour artillery barrage—the largest in North American history—precedes the infantry advance but proves largely ineffective due to defective fuses and heavy smoke obscuring the targets. Under General Longstreet's direction, approximately 12,500 men under Pickett, Trimble, and Pettigrew march over a mile across open fields into concentrated Union fire. While General Lewis Armistead's brigade briefly breaches the Union line at "the angle," the Confederatesare ultimately repulsed with devastating losses, leaving Pickett's division nearly destroyed. In the aftermath, a grieving Lee takes full responsibility for the failure, while General Meade, exhausted and hindered by poor weather, declines to pursue the retreating Confederate army toward the Potomac.
