In this episode, I go over one AI news item I can't stop thinking about, one trend you can build a business around, two tools I'm using, one startup idea you should steal, and one framework to end on. I start with a leak suggesting Anthropic is productizing “agent mode” for Claude with structured task buckets and a progress/context UI. Then I use Hyrox as an example of how I validate trends quickly with search data (and what “low competition + cheap CPC + explosive growth” signals). I wrap by pitching a hotel guest-communication concierge and the “thousand people framework” for getting to clarity on your ICP and what they'll reliably pay for. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:32 – AI New Item: Anthropic leak: Agent Task Mode for Claude 04:47 – Trend: Hyrox 08:59 – AI App: Krea and Notebook LLM 12:23 – Startup idea: Digital Hotel Concierge 15:59 – Framework: The “1000 People” For founders doing $50k+ MRR+: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/offline-mode Key Points Agent workflows get “productized” when the UI guides the task (not just a blank prompt box). Trend validation can be fast: look for explosive growth + low competition + cheap CPC, then ideate apps around it. NotebookLM's slide generation is an underrated workflow for turning sources into clean decks. The “Guest Guide” concept is a simple AI/QR wedge: answer repetitive hotel questions and monetize per property. The thousand-people exercise forces clarity: who exactly buys, what they pay yearly, and how you reach them. Section Summaries The Claude Agent Mode Leak I break down a leak claiming Anthropic is preparing a more structured “agent mode” for Claude, organized into buckets like research, analyze, write, and build plus choices like depth, format, and outputs. The big shift is moving from “open chat” to “delegating distinct tasks” with visibility into progress and context. Productized Prompts = Better Output I explain why a blank text box can be daunting, and why UI that scaffolds intent (validate/compare/forecast, quick vs. thorough, doc vs. slides vs. spreadsheet) can make results meaningfully better. To me, it points at a future where you “check in” on agents like teammates. Trend Hunting I use Hyrox, an indoor fitness competition that's “like the new CrossFit,” as a real example of how I sanity-check whether something is becoming a business opportunity. The workflow is simple: I see it in culture, then I go straight to Idea Browser to pull search/CPC/competition signals. Two Tools I'm Testing I call out Krea as a creative AI subscription bundling multiple models, and then I highlight NotebookLM's slide/infographic feature as the underrated part—turning a source (including transcripts) into clean, well-designed slides with strong hierarchy. Steal This: Guest Guide I pitch a hotel digital concierge that handles common guest questions via QR-code guides, priced per property with affiliate upside, and I reference Sadie as an adjacent AI hospitality product (more on calls/reservations). Then I close with the “thousand people framework”: define the real ICP, map what they'll pay yearly, and figure out distribution—because clarity is the driver.

Generative AI has made major leaps since we last explored its use in game QA, and this episode dives into how that progress is reshaping the field. Host Devin Becker is joined again by Christoffer Holmgård and Julian Togelius, co-founders of modl.ai, to unpack how recent advances in computer vision and agent behavior are enabling fully no-code QA testing workflows. We discuss the shift from traditional code-integrated systems to screen-seeing, input-driving AI agents, and the technical breakthroughs that finally made this approach viable. The conversation also explores the types of bugs and edge cases this new method catches, and the surprising ways it differs from prior tools.The conversion also goes deeper into what this shift means for studios. Julian and Christoffer highlight how QA roles are evolving when testers can direct powerful AI agents without needing engineering resources. They also examine the line between automation and augmentation, arguing for the enduring value of human testers while outlining where AI can dramatically improve speed, coverage, and reporting. From auto-generating reproduction steps to fitting into broader ecosystems of AI coworkers, this episode offers a grounded, forward-looking take on how AI is transforming QA from the inside out.Previous episode with Modl.ai: https://naavik.co/podcast/ai-powered-quality-assurance/We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

We're closing out the year with our final podcast of 2025, looking back at the biggest stories and revisiting the predictions we made at the start of the year. How did we do? 2025 delivered volatility and plenty of surprises, along with a long list of developments with real consequences for energy, both clean energy and traditional oil and gas. We cover major policy shifts, including the election of the Mark Carney Liberals in Canada, the introduction of Bill C-5, the launch of the Major Projects Office, the Ottawa–Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and growing political support for LNG. We also review changes in the United States, including tariffs and the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which rolled back many of America's generous clean energy subsidies. Another recurring theme this year was the surge in expectations for AI data center electricity demand—including in Canada, where three proposed projects in Alberta are moving closer to a final investment decision.It's been a whirlwind year. Jackie and Peter wish everyone a wonderful holiday break, and we'll return in 2026.Content referenced in this podcast: The Hub.ca, Have we really hit peak oil?

Should You Use Amazon's Suggested Bids in Amazon PPC, or are they just a trap to spike your CPC and ACOS?In this Amazon PPC deep dive, we break down what Amazon's suggested bids really mean, how they're calculated, and when you should ignore them.You'll see how a $0.75 bid can still turn into $3 - 4 clicks, how max potential CPC works, and how to build a safer Amazon PPC bidding strategy around your own targets instead of Amazon's hints.We also tackle exact match vs "exact intent", why one bad search term can kill a whole keyword when you negative it, and how to avoid nuking good traffic.If you care about bid optimization, ACOS control, and understanding Amazon suggested bids like a pro, this episode is for you.
In this podcast, we spoke with Troy Ostreng, Senior Product Manager and David Burdge, Director of Cell and Gene Therapy at CPC about the development of the MicroCNX® aseptic micro-connectors and how they're helping biopharma teams streamline closed-system operations for cell and gene therapies. What unfolded was a detailed and forward-looking conversation that touched on CPC's 47-year legacy, the technical demands of advanced therapies, and the company's plans to drive the future of automation and sterility in manufacturing. A Legacy That Positioned CPC for Today's Advanced Therapy Boom When asked how CPC's long history in biologics and hospital environments prepared the company for today's cell and gene therapy landscape, David took us back to CPC's roots. “CPC was founded in 1978, so that's 47 years of innovation within connection technologies,” he said. “The first biologic was released in 1982, synthetic insulin, and we were there supporting the industry with open-format connectors on single-use bags.” From the early development of biologics through the shift to single-use and the rise of stainless-steel/single-use hybrid systems, CPC continuously evolved its connection technologies. They launched steam-through connectors as bioprocessing grew more complex, released their first aseptic connector in 2009, and introduced their first connector specifically targeted for the cell and gene therapy market in 2017. David explained how that history matters today: “Biologics has about a 35-year head start on advanced therapies. So the question becomes, what lessons can we transfer from biologics to cell and gene therapy as that industry grows at three to four times the rate biologics did in its first decade?” That perspective, combining biological manufacturing experience with the needs of new therapy modalities, forms the foundation for CPC's MicroCNX platform. MicroCNX: The First Aseptic Connector Built for Small-Format Tubing As cell and gene therapy developers began scaling up manufacturing, they quickly discovered a problem: the connectors used for biologics were not designed for small-volume, patient-specific therapies. Troy described it plainly: “Several years ago, we started hearing rumblings that current connectors weren't meeting what cell and gene therapy required.” CPC responded with a deep Voice of Customer (VOC) initiative, interviewing process engineers, operators, manufacturing leaders, and platform developers. Over and over, the same needs emerged. Operators wanted something simple. “Ease of use was the number one requirement,” Troy said. “Operators needed a product that was easy to use so they could make sterile connections in a short amount of time.” Processes demanded robustness. “Customers needed a connection they could trust—no contamination, no failures, no weak spots in the connection process,” he added. Small-volume precise applications required connectors actually designed for them. With autologous therapies, he noted, “We aren't talking about 1,000 liters; we're talking about 250 milliliters. And if there's a mishap, that could mean the difference between life and death for a patient.” All of this laid the groundwork for MicroCNX, which became the first aseptic connector engineered for small-format tubing. The “Pinch-Click-Pull” Process: Sterility Meets Speed One of the standout features of MicroCNX is its elegantly simple pinch-click-pull operation. Troy explained how simplicity came directly from user feedback. “As operators walked us through their pain points, what they needed was clear: a connector they could learn immediately. So MicroCNX has a three-step process—pinch, click, pull. You can literally do it as fast as I say it.” He continued,“Once someone does it one time, they're basically an expert. That ease of use dramatically reduces operator error.” For an industry where operator variability remains one of the biggest sources of risk and batch loss, eliminating complexity is critical. Cryogenic Challenges Call for Cryo-Rated Solutions As the conversation shifted to cryopreservation, a critical component of cell therapy manufacturing,Troy introduced the MicroCNX® ULT and MicroCNX® Nano variants. “These were really developed because therapies were being frozen to –150°C, even –190°C. You need a connector that can be frozen to those temperatures, thawed, and still be as robust as it was before.” The ULT and Nano were engineered with: Low-profile geometries to fit inside freezing cassettes Specialized materials to withstand thermal stress Chemical compatibility with DMSO and other cryoprotectants Enhanced durability to survive impacts while frozen Troy emphasized how critical it was to get the materials right: “We searched extensively for a material that could handle those harsh chemicals and temperatures. What we landed on was PPSU—polyphenylsulfone. It's chemically sound, and it's incredibly impact-resistant at very low temperatures.” CPC built these connectors because customers repeatedly told them: existing solutions were cracking, leaking, or becoming brittle. MicroCNX was engineered to overcome all of that. True Closed Systems vs. Functionally Closed Systems: Why the Difference Matters A substantial part of the conversation focused on the differences between closed, functionally closed, and open systems—distinctions that are often overlooked but critically important. Troy broke down the differences clearly: “An open system is exposed at some point. A functionally closed system is inherently open but gets closed temporarily to let fluid transfer. In comparison, a closed system is never open at any point.” Examples of functionally closed systems include: Biosafety cabinets (BSCs) Luer-based connections Closed system transfer devices These approaches require: Sanitization Careful environmental controls Operator expertise And, as Troy noted, “a mishap in one of these can mean losing a very valuable therapy.” CPC's sterile connectors—including MicroCNX minimize these risks: “Our connectors allow the system to remain closed 100% of the time. That greatly reduces contamination risk.” This distinction isn't merely academic—it has direct regulatory implications as well. David added,“In Annex 1, they refer to intrinsically sterile connection devices—like sterile connectors and tube welders—that allow operations normally requiring Grade A or B to occur in a Grade C or D environment.” That ability to operate safely in lower-grade spaces is increasingly critical as the industry tries to overcome facility and labor bottlenecks. Why Teams Are Moving Away from Tube Welding Tube welding has been part of bioprocessing for decades, but David explained why its era may be ending for CGT. “Tube welding was born out of the blood banking industry when no other solution existed. But sterile connectors don't require capital investment. They're faster. They eliminate issues like tubing alignment or pinhole leaks. They're simply more reliable.” As biologics manufacturers have already done, CGT teams are now transitioning toward connectors like MicroCNX® that provide sterile, consistent, low-burden operations. The MicroCNX® Luer Variant: Supporting Transitional Workflows Not all workflows are ready to move away from luer-based devices. That's where the MicroCNX Luer variant fits in. Troy described how it works.“You connect a syringe or bag with a luer inside the BSC, but then because the MicroCNX® connector itself is sterile, you can take it outside the hood and make a sterile connection elsewhere.” This capability bridges legacy workflows and fully closed systems—critical during process development, technology transfer, or when working with specific devices. Co-Development: The Heart of CPC's Innovation Process As the conversation returned to CPC's broader philosophy, David highlighted how important customer collaboration is. “It's all about the customer for CPC,” he said. “We start with Voice of Customer. Our business and applications managers are out in the field understanding real applications and guiding them to the right products.” This feedback fuels CPC's two major development tracks: Catalog product development (platforms like MicroCNX) Custom-engineered solutions for unique applications David added: “We maintain a full new product introduction roadmap. Some products will be released broadly. Others will be developed specifically for one customer. But both are driven by real application requirements.” This process ensures CPC's products evolve in lockstep with the needs of advanced therapy teams. Looking Ahead: Designing Connectors for Robotics and Automation Toward the end of the conversation, David turned to one of CPC's biggest focus areas: the future of automation. “The ultimate customer in this industry is the patient,” he said. “And right now we face barriers—capacity, speed, accessibility, cost. Process automation can significantly reduce those barriers.” Automation requires connectors designed not just for human hands but for robotics: Predictable geometries Features optimized for machine vision Forces and actuation steps compatible with robotic grippers Designs intended for automated loading and unloading David summarized CPC's future direction: “We're taking a fresh look at our connectors, reimagining them as something designed for robotic manipulation. It's a high priority for us.” Troy echoed the sentiment: “Our connectors are awesomely designed for humans. But automation is coming, and we're focused on the features robots need.” A Future Built on Innovation and Patient Impact The interview closed with both guests reflecting on CPC's mission. “We're incredibly passionate about innovation and meeting the needs of our customers through thoughtful product development,” Troy said.
China will continue exerting a "more proactive" fiscal policy and "moderately loose" monetary policy next year, as it strives to promote "effective qualitative improvement" and "reasonable quantitative growth" in its economy, according to a key Party leadership meeting on Monday.周一召开的党内重要领导会议指出，中国明年将继续实施“更加积极”的财政政策和“适度宽松”的货币政策，着力促进经济实现“质的有效提升”和“量的合理增长”。The meeting was convened by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee to analyze and study the country's economic work in 2026. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the meeting.中共中央政治局召开会议，分析研究2026年全国经济工作。中共中央总书记习近平主持会议。The decision-making body of the Party emphasized that the country would adhere to the overarching principle of "seeking progress while maintaining stability", and better coordinate domestic economic work and endeavors in the international economic and trade arena, as well as development and security, according to a statement released after the meeting.根据会后发表的声明，党的决策机构强调，国家将坚持“稳中求进”的总方针，更好地统筹国内经济工作与国际经济贸易领域的工作，以及发展与安全。While noting the importance of implementing more proactive and effective macroeconomic policies, the decision-making body highlighted the need to enhance the foresight, targeting and synergy of policies.决策机构在强调实施更积极、更有效的宏观经济政策的重要性时，同时指出需要增强政策的预见性、针对性和协同性。It called for continuous efforts to expand domestic demand and optimize supply, develop new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions, advance the construction of a unified national market in greater depth, and prevent and defuse risks in key areas, the statement said.声明指出，要持续努力扩大内需、优化供给，发展适应本地条件的新质生产力，更深入地推进全国统一市场建设，并在重点领域防范化解风险。Efforts should be made to stabilize employment, enterprises, markets and expectations to maintain social harmony and stability, and ensure a good start for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, the statement added.声明补充道，应努力稳定就业、企业、市场和预期，以维护社会和谐稳定，确保第十五个五年规划（2026-2030年）时期开局良好。It was noted at the meeting that counter-cyclical and cross-cyclical adjustments should be strengthened to effectively enhance the efficiency of macroeconomic governance.会议指出，应加强逆周期和跨周期调节，切实提升宏观经济治理效能。The meeting called for building a robust domestic market by expanding domestic demand, stepping up fostering new growth drivers by promoting innovation-driven development, enhancing the momentum and vitality of high-quality growth by deepening reform, and bolstering win-win cooperation across various fields by adhering to opening-up.会议强调，要通过扩大内需来建设强劲的国内市场，通过推动创新驱动发展来培育新的增长引擎，通过深化改革来增强高质量发展的动能和活力，并通过坚持开放来促进各领域共赢合作。The meeting also underlined the need to promote urban-rural integration and coordinated development across the regions, drive green transformation on all fronts, prioritize people's livelihoods, and bear in mind the worst-case scenarios to resolve risks in key areas in a proactive and prudent manner.会议还强调，要推进城乡融合发展和区域协调发展，全面推进绿色转型，着力改善民生，并以最坏的情况为准备，积极审慎化解重点领域的风险。During the meeting, a set of regulations on the CPC's leadership over law-based governance in all respects was reviewed.会议审议通过了《中共中央全面依法治国领导条例》。Historically, the Political Bureau's December meeting has been closely followed by the annual Central Economic Work Conference, which typically sets the tone for economic work in the year ahead.历年来，中共中央政治局12月会议之后紧接着召开的中央经济工作会议，通常为来年经济工作定下基调。China's gross domestic product grew 5.2 percent year-on-year in the first three quarters of 2025 despite rising external headwinds, and attention is now shifting to next year, the start of China's 15th Five-Year Plan period.尽管外部逆风加剧，中国2025年前三季度国内生产总值同比增长5.2%，目前关注焦点正转向明年——中国第十五个五年规划周期的开端。Ahead of Monday's Political Bureau meeting, the CPC Central Committee held a symposium with non-CPC personages on Wednesday in Beijing to solicit their opinions and suggestions on this year's economic situation and economic work for 2026.在周一政治局会议召开前夕，中共中央上周三在北京召开非党人士座谈会，听取他们对今年经济形势和2026年经济工作的意见建议。At the symposium, representatives of non-CPC personages gave their suggestions on a number of issues, including optimizing industrial layout, expanding domestic demand and high-standard opening-up, enhancing people's well-being, and boosting high-quality employment.在座谈会上，非党代表人士就优化产业布局、扩大内需和高标准开放、提升民生福祉、促进高质量就业等若干问题提出了建议。Xi presided over the symposium and delivered an important speech. He emphasized that the supporting conditions and fundamental trend for long-term economic growth in China remain unchanged.习近平主席主持座谈会并发表重要讲话。他强调，中国经济长期向好的基本面没有改变，支撑经济持续增长的条件没有改变。He called for remaining confident, leveraging China's strengths and tackling challenges, and working to consolidate and expand the positive momentum in the economic upturn in order to make a good start in implementing the 15th Five-Year Plan.习近平主席呼吁保持信心，发挥中国优势，应对挑战，努力巩固和扩大经济复苏的积极势头，为实施十五规划开好头。He said that the CPC Central Committee had implemented more proactive and effective macro policies this year, and the main goals for economic and social development are expected to be accomplished.习近平主席表示，中共中央今年实施了更积极、更有效的宏观政策，经济社会发展主要目标有望实现。Xi noted that China has effectively navigated various shocks and challenges over the past five years. As the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) is set to approach a successful conclusion, the country's strengths in the economy, science and technology, and comprehensive national strengths have been significantly enhanced, he said.习近平主席指出，过去五年，中国有效应对了各种冲击和挑战。随着“十四五”规划（2021-2025年）即将圆满收官，我国经济实力、科技实力、综合国力都得到了显著增强。Noting that non-CPC personages had carried out in-depth research on key issues arising in economic and social development and provided important references for the CPC Central Committee's scientific decision-making, Xi expressed thanks to them on behalf of the CPC Central Committee.习近平指出，非中共人士对经济社会发展中的重大问题进行了深入研究，为中共中央科学决策提供了重要参考。他代表中共中央向他们表示感谢。Xi called on them to actively contribute their wisdom and efforts to the formulation and implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan, conduct in-depth research on topics such as building a modern industrial system, developing new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions, and establishing a strong domestic market, and put forward their opinions and suggestions.习近平主席号召他们积极为制定和实施十五五规划贡献智慧和力量，深入研究建设现代工业体系、培育适应本地特点的新质生产力、壮大国内市场等课题，并提出意见和建议。

God’s call to Abraham reveals a radically new way of being human — one rooted not in self-made identity or manufactured greatness, but in God’s gracious initiative. In a world where our circumstances often leave us longing for a different kind of life, Scripture shows that God still breaks into our darkness with a promise that reshapes everything. At the center of that promise stands Jesus, the true Seed and true Home, through whom all the families of the earth are blessed. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unfolds how God’s ancient promise to Abraham finds its fulfillment in Christ and is offered to us today. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Send us a textI had the honor of hosting a long-time mentor and friend, Robert Larson, CPC. Bob's journey is one I've followed since the start of my first business, and he even inspired my own early yoga practice by bringing his personal interests into the workplace.The episode is less about business growth and more about personal resilience and the powerful difference between working on your business versus in it; and ultimately, working on yourself.From Bicycle Messengers to Boutique PracticeBob's career spans decades, starting when résumés were shuttled by bicycle messengers and a portable fax machine cost $4,500. He built a large, successful staffing firm. However, as the conversation reveals, he deliberately chose to downsize a few years ago.He found that running a large operation meant working on the business. Downsizing allowed him to return to the craft, the hands-on work of interviewing and placement, and find fulfillment, proving that the work is more fulfilling.The Catastrophic Gift of LifeBob's most compelling story is about the massive health crisis he faced over 20 years ago that put him on life support, reshaping his outlook on life, work, and gratitude.He discusses how his decades-long practices in silent meditation and Bikram (hot) yoga became his lifeline. When he woke up on a respirator, he used the machine's rhythm to perform Ujjayi breathing meditation. As his sister-in-law wisely noted, he "trained his entire life for these illnesses." Now, at 75, he embodies reinvention and acceptance, trading marathons for chair yoga, and viewing every physical challenge as a teaching moment.The Core Takeaway: Find Your DNALife comes with no warranties or guarantees. Bob's advice on career and contentment is simple yet revolutionary: find what is in your DNA and what you love to do, and the money will follow. His perspective on career fulfillment, the necessity of personal practice, and the struggle to stay in the present moment is a powerful reminder that awareness is the practice, and coming back to stillness is the key to clarity."If a person does what they love, the money follows because they rise to the top of what they're doing." — Robert Larson, CPCListen to the Full ConversationDon't miss Bob's incredible story of resilience and his profound advice on living an aware and grateful life.Books, Websites, and Resources MentionedWe always highlight the resources mentioned by our guests so you can follow their lead.Substack: You can follow Bob Larson's active daily blog and get a peek into his daily practice of gratitude and awarenessA Book for Letting Go: Let Them by Mel RobbinsThe Business Essential: The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.

En Centrafrique, les électeurs devront participer le 28 décembre à un quadruple scrutin historique : législatives, régionales, municipales et présidentielle, au cours de laquelle Faustin-Archange Touadéra briguera un troisième mandat, après avoir changé de constitution en 2023. Dans son bilan, le chef de l'État met en avant les progrès en matière de sécurité et de réconciliation. Il affirme que la Centrafrique est aujourd'hui en sortie de crise et qu'on peut traverser le pays sans risque. Mais les Centrafricains n'en sont pas tous persuadés De notre envoyé spécial à Bangui, Il y a cinq ans, les Banguissois avaient voté dans la crainte d'un assaut rebelle. Cette année, l'échéance approche dans une ambiance beaucoup plus apaisée, d'autant que le Conseil constitutionnel a validé les candidatures de plusieurs opposants. À Bimbo, grande commune à la sortie sud-ouest de Bangui, les associations de soutien au président sont mobilisées. Parmi les présents, on loue la figure d'un président sortant pacificateur. « Dès que le président Touadéra est venu, nous avons eu la paix. Vous savez, la Centrafrique revient de loin. On avait la guerre, il y avait la division, il y avait l'insécurité partout, on ne pouvait pas traverser nos provinces. Mais aujourd'hui, on sent qu'il y a la sécurité, il y a la paix. Aujourd'hui, il a fait asseoir le pays. Tout le monde vit dans la joie. » Ces derniers mois, le gouvernement a signé de nouveaux accords avec des groupes armés, un processus de désarmement a été relancé. Pour autant, braqueurs et coupeurs de route entretiennent une insécurité diffuse en province. Les agissements de porteurs d'uniforme et de mercenaires russes sont aussi régulièrement pointés du doigt, ce qui continue d'inquiéter : « Dans la capitale, on se sent en sécurité. Mais ailleurs, dans l'arrière-pays, il y a des tueries, des meurtres. Il faut donc revoir tout ça », déplore un jeune homme rencontré dans une ruelle du quartier Lakouanga. À écouter aussiCentrafrique: un «retour au dialogue» entre le gouvernement et la milice AAKG est «urgent» « On leur doit la vérité » Dix ans après la fin de la transition, cinq ans après avoir repoussé la CPC, les causes profondes des conflits internes ont-elles été traitées ? « Les Centrafricains sont, je pense, aptes à pardonner, analyse le juriste Arnaud Yaliki, spécialiste de justice transitionnelle et commissaire de la Commission vérité, justice, réparation et réconciliation (CVJRR). Mais avant de pardonner, ils estiment qu'on leur doit la vérité sur ce qui s'est passé, ils veulent que justice soit faite, ils veulent la réparation des réformes institutionnelles qui permettent de corriger les inégalités et les injustices qui sont à la base de la récurrence des crises que nous connaissons. Des efforts ont été faits, mais il y a des défis à relever, souligne le juriste. Si on veut la paix dans ce pays, il faut que tous les Centrafricains, quelle que soit leur ethnie, qu'ils appartiennent ou non à un parti politique, aient les mêmes chances que les autres. Je pense que c'est le levier du développement de la République centrafricaine. » Avec le redéploiement de l'État et la nouvelle carte judiciaire, Arnaud Yaliki appelle à s'attaquer à l'impunité et à la pauvreté. Il demande aux magistrats qui s'installent en province de prendre leurs responsabilités et de juger les coupables de violations des droits humains.

Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 12 reveal a surprising truth: the very weaknesses we wish would disappear may be the places where God is doing his deepest work. When we feel inadequate, overwhelmed, or worn thin, we may actually be closer to true spiritual strength than we realize. God’s grace meets us not after we overcome our struggles, but right in the midst of them. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris unpacks how God’s power is made perfect in weakness. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.

Send us a textThe video describes Amazon Ads' new benchmark report, a feature available through the Campaign Manager that helps sellers evaluate their advertising performance compared to industry standards. The report provides metrics on key performance indicators like cost per click, purchase rates, and new-to-brand metrics, allowing sellers to compare their results against category averages. This can help sellers determine if their advertising strategy is competitive within their category.The benchmarks include data such as the average cost per click (CPC), where the user's CPC can be compared with the benchmark for the same category, giving insight into whether they are overspending or underperforming. Similarly, the report tracks metrics like cost per purchase and purchase rate for new-to-brand customers. By comparing these values, sellers can see how their performance stacks up against competitors in the same category.The introduction of benchmarks allows sellers to make more informed, data-driven decisions by offering insights into whether their campaigns are on track with the industry standard or if adjustments are needed. This is particularly valuable for sellers who may be uncertain about their advertising strategy or spending, providing a clearer perspective on how they compare with competitors.The video encourages users to explore this new benchmark feature within their Amazon Advertising console and take action based on the insights provided, potentially optimizing their campaigns or making necessary adjustments to improve performance relative to their category.#AmazonAds #AmazonMarketing #EcommerceGrowth #AmazonBenchmarks #adperformance Want free resources?

Paul’s “fool’s speech” in 2 Corinthians 11 flips worldly values upside down, exposing leaders who boast in themselves and highlighting the power of weakness shaped by Christ. Paul’s scars — not his successes — reveal the heart of a true shepherd who suffers for the good of others. And ultimately, his example points to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who proves his love through his wounds. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how authentic Christian leadership is formed through humility, sacrifice, and the way of the cross. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

In this episode of the Affiliate Marketing Podcast, Lee-Ann Johnstone sits down with search industry veteran Colin Jeavons to unpack one of the most significant shifts in digital commerce since Google's CPC revolution. With 25% of global search queries now bypassing Google in favour of AI-powered answer engines, affiliate managers and publishers face a crossroads: adapt to emerging channels or risk becoming obsolete. Colin, whose career spans from the Yellow Pages era through to building semantic search technology for defence and intelligence, brings rare historical perspective on what's actually changing—and what isn't.

5 Marketing Takeaway Secrets for Zip Code Marketing 2.0 with Favour Obasi-Ike | Sign up for exclusive SEO insights.Favour discusses Zip Code Marketing 2.0, emphasizing its importance for local businesses. Favour explains that this marketing strategy involves geo-targeting audiences based on their zip codes and interests to achieve local market success through tailored content and advertising.Key platforms for this type of marketing include Amazon, Google, YouTube, and TikTok, with a forward-looking mention of using Connected TV for targeted ads as part of the "2.0" evolution. Favour also stresses the necessity of thorough research before launching ad campaigns and highlights the value of SEO and content strategy in driving commercial growth and connecting with potential customers.The internet is a constant flood of marketing advice. We're told to blog more, post more, and spend more on ads. It's overwhelming, and most of it feels like noise. But every so often, you stumble upon a single conversation that cuts through it all.That's what happened to me during a one-hour Clubhouse talk on "Zip Code Marketing 2.0." Favour shared a series of potent, surprising, and immediately actionable insights that challenge the 'more is more' gospel of content marketing and the 'gamble' of paid ads, offering a refreshingly precise alternative. The talk covered both foundational tactics for local businesses and a stunning look into the future of hyper-local advertising. Here are the five secrets I learned.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Takeaway #1: Hyper-Niche SEO Can Deliver Results in Under 24 HoursWe're often told that SEO is a long game, requiring months of consistent effort. This case study proves that with the right strategy, it can be shockingly fast.Favour shared the story of a client selling a "prayer box for busy moms". By researching the competition, they discovered the niche had been neglected for years. After making a few strategic tweaks to the website, the client started getting sales directly from their Google link in less than 24 hours.The real insight wasn't just finding a low-competition keyword; it was understanding the customer's specific behavior. The sales came in at 6 a.m. and 2 a.m.—times when busy moms could find a quiet moment before their day began. This hyper-specific understanding of when and why a customer searches is more powerful than a hundred generic blog posts. It's the direct result of putting research before action.SEO is not just blog, blog, blog, blog. Like there there has to be some reasoning behind it.The lesson: your fastest path to profit might not be broad appeal, but a laser-focused solution for a neglected niche whose buying habits you can pinpoint to the hour.Takeaway #2: The Golden Rule of Ad Spend Is About Time, Not MoneyFor many businesses, running paid ads feels like gambling. You put money in and hope for the best. The speaker offered a simple, powerful principle to completely reframe this approach.Do not spend a dollar on ads if you've not spent a second on research.The logic is undeniable: running ads to a market that already needs and is searching for your product is infinitely more effective than trying to create demand from scratch. True success in advertising doesn't start with a campaign; it starts with research and development (R&D) to find the perfect market fit. Stop treating your ad budget like a slot machine and start treating it as the final step in a rigorous R&D process.Takeaway #3: Every Online Sale Is a Treasure Map (And X Marks the Zip Code)This point was so simple it was brilliant. Every single time you make an online sale—whether through Shopify, Squarespace, or Stripe—you collect a crucial piece of data: the customer's zip code.This isn't just logistical information for shipping. It's a treasure map. That zip code is a clear, unambiguous signal telling you exactly where your audience lives. The speaker used a perfect analogy: you should be selling jackets to people in cold zip codes and t-shirts to those who don't need jackets. It sounds obvious, but how many businesses ignore this data and market their "jackets" to everyone, everywhere? This means your most valuable marketing asset isn't a new ad campaign; it's a spreadsheet of your top 10 customer zip codes and a plan to dominate them.Takeaway #4: Paid Ads Aren't the Enemy of SEO—They're "Accelerated SEO"Once you've used your sales data to identify your "treasure map" of high-value zip codes, the next step isn't just organic—it's what the speaker calls "Accelerated SEO."The age-old debate of "Paid vs. Organic" is a false choice. The speaker reframed paid advertising not as a competitor to SEO, but as a faster way to own the keywords that matter in the places that matter. To prove the point, they shared an experiment: a simple $5/day Facebook ad campaign. By targeting only the specific zip codes with proven search interest, the results were incredible. The cost-per-click (CPC), which started around 30 cents, steadily dropped to 14 cents, and in some cases, as low as 9 cents.This dramatic cost reduction happens because by targeting only zip codes with proven, active search interest, the ad's relevance score skyrockets. Platforms like Facebook reward this high relevance with significantly lower costs, eliminating wasted spend on uninterested audiences.Takeaway #5: Zip Code Marketing 2.0 Is Taking Over Local TV and BillboardsThis was the most forward-looking secret of the entire talk. The "2.0" in the title isn't just about optimizing search and social—it's about applying zip code precision to channels once reserved for national brands: Connected TV and digital billboards.Favour explained that it's now possible to run ads on platforms like Peacock, Netflix, and various sports channels targeted only to viewers in specific zip codes. Imagine a local business running a TV commercial that's only seen by households in their most profitable neighborhoods. Or, consider the strategy of running ads on digital billboards within the zip code of a major conference, reaching every attendee during their downtime without having to be there physically. This is the future of local marketing—using data to show up on the biggest screens, but only for the exact audience that matters.Conclusion: From Local Champion to Global ContenderThe core theme was that effective marketing isn't about shouting the loudest; it's about deep research and showing up precisely where and when your audience needs you. Whether it's analyzing the 2 a.m. shopping habits of a busy mom or targeting a TV ad to a single zip code, the data to win is already at your fingertips.As Favour powerfully stated, "You can't be a global champion if you're not a local champion." Success starts by dominating your specific market first. Before you try to conquer the world, you have to win your neighborhood.It leaves one final, crucial question for all of us: What hidden data is your business already collecting that could unlock your next breakthrough?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm joined by my dear sister Reya Manna, an Earth Song Guide, healer, and founder of the SongKeeper School, whose life is devoted to restoring our sacred relationship with the land and the Divine.From our very first meeting, it felt like an ancient remembering: two women who had walked the same Topanga trails, shared the same love for Jesus beyond dogma, and answered the same call to leave Los Angeles when spirit whispered, it's time.Together, we explore what it really means to wake down into the body, commune with nature as a living teacher, and live as instruments of the holy. Reya shares how listening to the Earth led her to create the SongKeeper School, how this summer's eclipse portal became a profound feminine initiation, and why devotion, song, and ceremony are medicine for these times.You'll hear about:Following the soul's call even when it makes no senseLearning to wake down: embodying divinity through the human formThe voice as sacred medicine and prayerHealing through song, Earth-honoring, and feminine initiationLiving devotion in everyday lifeWe also talk about her brand-new seven-week offering, The Journey of the Song Keeper, now open for enrollment: a live, experiential program through The Shift Network that helps you reconnect with your voice as a sacred conduit of the Divine and sing Heaven onto Earth.
