A new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association explores the effects of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on cholesterol and heart health. Researchers found that both high and low usage of EVOO in the diet were linked to reductions in LDL-C, the "bad" cholesterol associated with heart disease. But during a 4-week carryover period, an interesting twist was revealed. Listen in this week as Dee discusses the results of the study, it's pros and cons, and how it could impact your health.Reference: Krenek, A. M., Mathews, A., Guo, J., Courville, A. B., Pepine, C.

Lastly, Ambassador Courville talks about what someone looking to get started in the development and diplomatic sector should be focused on. Tune in to learn more about the African Union. IN THIS EPISODE: [1:49] What is Ambassador Courville's view on global security? [2:43] What does she see as the interplay between intelligence and development in promoting development outcomes? [5:32] What was Ambassador Courville's experience being the first Ambassador to the African Union and what was her role? [9:25] How have the policies changed since the first implemented policies? [14:28] What did it mean to the African Leaders to have an Ambassador assigned to them? [16:25] Has there been momentum on the foundation of engagement with African nations and leaders under the Biden administration? [19:56] How do the current African leaders see geopolitical options to them in the US, China, and other nations? [24:26] What is Ambassador Courville's insight on good development and the importance of interagency work? [27:25] What is Ambassador Courville's insight to someone that wants to cut development funding or diplomatic funding? [31:53] Ambassador Courville's advice for someone getting started in the development or diplomatic sector. KEY TAKEAWAYS: If we fall or shift to a more authoritarian situation, that is not in the best interest of African countries or developing countries in general. We need to have a democracy and a leadership that is focused on maintaining democracy, not curtailing the rights and freedoms of Americans. The more politically and economically stable we are, the less you have to use other tools, and you only want to use those other tools in the most extreme situations. QUOTES: [21:35] “The Africans have been extremely forgiving and understanding. I would say, extremely democratic in their outlook, so they recognize the dynamics and shifts on a level that the average American just doesn't get. I'm not just talking the leadership of Africa, but the people themselves, and so you can't expect them not to engage.” - Ambassador Cindy Courville [24:33] “If I were writing the policy for USAID today, or for the administration, not just for Africa, but in general, I would say we need to increase the size of USAID. USAID's mission is so huge, but the number of personnel and NGOs are great, but we need more continuity in that process.” - Ambassador Cindy Courville [31:19] “We haven't resolved our civil war issues, women's issues, all of those things that are fundamentally part of a democracy.” - Ambassador Cindy Courville RESOURCES: NSL4A Steering Committee Aid Market Podcast Aid Market Podcast YouTube BIOGRAPHY: Ambassador (retired) Cindy Courville, Ph.D. currently serves on the executive board of the National Security Executives and Professional Association (NSEPA) and as a member of the Steering Committee of the Leadership Council for Women in National Security (LCWINS).

Heather Courville, a local entrepreneur who offers beautiful handcrafted children's clothing and accessories through her business, Banannie Bands, joins Discover Lafayette to share her journey in breaking into the business world as a seamstress who produces heirloom items. Heather had a booth at the Junior league's Christmas show, Tinsel & Treasures, in September, 2023. The quality of her work, the beauty of her designs, and her endearing spirit made her the perfect guest as we enter the holiday season and people are looking for that perfect gift for a young family member. Where did her career journey begin? A very young, divorced mom who was short on funds but rich in time, Heather took sewing classes and began sewing gifts such as burp cloths, bibs and other baby items for her daughter and friends. Her hobby turned into a career upon the encouragement of Heathe, her then boyfriend and now husband, who announced one day that he had booked her at a craft show in Breaux Bridge. He said, "I have had bought you a 10' x 10' tent and 6 ' table, here's the date of your craft show, and you will have to fill the table with baby items." She filled the table with headbands and burp cloths, all priced at $5.00, and the items sold out fast. Heather made a grand total of $75 at her first show. But this young mother of a ten-month old, who was three months behind on her mortgage and about to lose her house, felt her entrepreneurial spirit lit on fire. She began booking craft shows anywhere possible every weekend....Baptist church parking lots, anywhere there was a show. Low on funds, she would buy scraps of material from Lola Pink Fabrics in Lafayette and would sew items that customers requested such as pacifier clips. She caught up on her mortgage and realized she could take care of herself and daughter. The business has grown exponentially since its early days. And her business paid for her wedding to Heathe! And as they say, the rest is history! Surviving the COVID shutdown was a challenge and Heather pivoted to making masks which sold at retail in Drug Emporium stores. She believes that God provided for her and her business and they both have survived. While she is not yet back to her all time high of eight employees, Heather does enjoy the help of other women who love sewing and she calls Banannie Bands a family business. Heather mentioned a former babysitter of hers.....Ms. Debbie, who makes up to 400 bibs at a time for Banannie Bands. Her mother-in-law also sews for her. Gerber baby diapers serve as the base for Banannie Band burp cloths. Heather has never wanted a 'brick and mortar' store because it would be too difficult to produce enough inventory to keep the store stocked. Heather always wants to focus on custom orders that meet the needs of her customers. She brought a custom order she would be delivering after our show finished to show me a sample of her work. Banannie Bands doesn't sell on Amazon, but you can find creations locally at Trove & Company at 126 E. Bridge Street in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Annie Bannanie is the nickname of her oldest daughter, who is now 12 years, and the inspiration for her business name. Capri is her youngest daughter, four years old, and Heather still makes all of her clothes. Banannie Bands makes clothes for newborn children to 5 years of age. Heather is especially proud of her reversible rompers which give the choice of a Halloween outfit and then flipping it inside out to show a Christmas theme. Heather details how in the early days, she worked as a receptionist at a walk-in clinic while she was building her business as a side gig. She then worked for a beloved woman who was a dementia patient but never sewed while on the job....she always waited until her off hours to produce Banannie Bands' crafted outfits and items. But when her patient had to move on to Assisted Living, Heather finally took the jump to supporting herself ...

Jack sits down with longtime friends Todd Stern and Chris Courville to discuss their greatest lessons learned on the journey to establishing their own forensic engineering firms.Todd Stern spent his entire career in the construction industry. In May 2022, he co-founded Orlo Forensics alongside Patrick Snowden, where they specialize in collapse, fire, flood, hail, wind, and disaster investigation and design. They're brought onsite to complete investigations and compile reports to be submitted to insurance companies, contractors, or attorneys.Chris Courville is the owner and CEO of United Environmental LLC, a mold remediation, air quality testing, water mitigation, and emergency response company established in October 2018. The team at the interior damage consulting firm brings 40+ of combined experience to the table.Listen in as Todd and Chris give their thoughts on the lack of professionalism and accountability that was unfortunately quite prevalent in the mitigation industry when they got their start at the turn of the century.Too many professionals focus overwhelmingly on getting the sale over hitting key metrics with a view to keeping the company healthy. In other words, they take on claims with the intention to “win the battle, lose the war”, which may lead to short-term financial gain but a bankrupt business in the long term.Todd and Chris also share how they've been navigating the challenges of running their companies with those of keeping their personal relationships healthy. Asked about the keys to creating a legacy business, the pair talk about the importance of staying high-touch every step of the way and passing on client-focused values to the next generation.

It's a mindset thing.” ~Todd “If you're only as good as your next check, that's a shitty way to run a business.” ~Chris“Our profession demands our attention.

On this episode Ashley Courville joins Shane to talk about overcoming the challenges of the last 12 months. Ashely talks about being a mortgage mom, finding balance, finding your way back from a low point, and what actions she takes to keep her business at the level she needs. 2:50 Intro to AR5:33 12 month reflection10:14 Finding your way back14:41 Processes vs outcomes22:50 Ashley's ATMsTakeaways:Having a team is a great asset to your business but it is also a great asset when you need personal time. Not everything is going to go well in business and your personal life. You need to be able to pivot. When you go through hard times you need to have the right people in your circle who will cheer you on. The reality is that if you're focused on the outcome, you are going to have a challenging time. Processes are what makes your business a business. You need to harness to the power of your CRM if you want to have a true 5 Diamond customer experience. Quotes:“I chose to not double and triple my business during that busy season. Being with my kids and being a present mom was my number one thing.”“I knew it was an absolute must for me to have a balanced life.”“I thrive on brining a certain amount of energy into the room and my world. When you are struggling mentally it is hard to bring that.”“Protecting your peace is your number one job.”“We cannot control our environment but we can control our processes.”Show Links:Strategy Call: www.NLStrategyCall.com Social Media:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NextLevelLoanOfficers/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwSyHzkvBri1YWJSH7df1CQLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/next-level-loan-officers/about/
It can be exhausting to be a self-employed consultant. Often you're working more hours than you did when you worked your last corporate job. You are hustling to complete client work, fill your sales pipeline, and create content that meaningfully differentiates you from your competition. In this episode, Louise Courville and Alastair McDermott discuss what it means to create a category of one, how to avoid being a commodity, and how frameworks can help you attract clients & build reputation. They also discuss the importance of taking a stand against something, why to use a unique marketing mechanism, and how accountability can help you be more productive. “How do you differentiate your message from everybody else? That's creating your framework. We pull the framework out and we usually make it into an alliteration or an acronym. We want it to be memorable and repeatable and portable.” -- Louise Courville on The Recognized Authority podcast “The last part is the solid point of view that is different than everybody else's. You have to take a stand against something, and for something.” -- Louise Courville on The Recognized Authority podcast

A major QAnon influencer is trying to infiltrate the #FreeBritney movement, a group dedicated to the release of Britney Spears from years of unfair "conservatorship" at the hands of her handlers and members of her family. Q promoter Liz Crokin recently released a "documentary" about the pop star entitled 'Slave Princess', which heavily features (and praises) BJ Courville (AKA That Surprise Witness), an attorney who claims to have lost her job due to her advocacy for the #FreeBritney movement. Courville has even gone as far as hosting Liz Crokin on her youtube show to endorse and praise her. This has caused a rift in #FreeBritney supporters between those who don't want to welcome QAnon influencers with open arms into their movement, and those convinced that the situation is "beyond politics". We explore the various layers involved.

Conditional waveform synthesis models learn a distribution of audio waveforms given conditioning such as text, mel-spectrograms, or MIDI. These systems employ deep generative models that model the waveform via either sequential (autoregressive) or parallel (non-autoregressive) sampling. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have become a common choice for non-autoregressive waveform synthesis. However, state-of-the-art GAN-based models produce artifacts when performing mel-spectrogram inversion. In this paper, we demonstrate that these artifacts correspond with an inability for the generator to learn accurate pitch and periodicity. We show that simple pitch and periodicity conditioning is insufficient for reducing this error relative to using autoregression. 2021: Max Morrison, Rithesh Kumar, Kundan Kumar, Prem Seetharaman, Aaron C.

Classics: We propose a new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process, in which we simultaneously train two models: a generative model G that captures the data distribution, and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G. The training procedure for G is to maximize the probability of D making a mistake. This framework corresponds to a minimax two-player game. In the space of arbitrary functions G and D, a unique solution exists, with G recovering the training data distribution and D equal to 1/2 everywhere. In the case where G and D are defined by multilayer perceptrons, the entire system can be trained with backpropagation. There is no need for any Markov chains or unrolled approximate inference networks during either training or generation of samples. Experiments demonstrate the potential of the framework through qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the generated samples. 2014: I.

Not everyone should own a house.”“Work-life balance is very different for women in mortgage than men.”TakeawaysIf you're working too much, you need to invest in your business so you can work less. If you want to grow your business without killing yourself with your time, you need to invest in a team.Double down on communication and let your clients and partners tell you when it is too much. You need to be able to define who you want to work with and the clients you want to work for. You have to say no so that you can say yes to the right people. Go after business that fits your system. Know who you are and who you are not.If you are a woman with kids, your life looks very different on a daily basis compared to most men in this industry.
