#HRhelpdesk #IndiaHRGuide #MandeepSingh, with 25 years of HR expertise, Mandeep explains how organizations in India should understand and define CTC (Cost to Company) in the context of statutory requirements and recent labour code changes. He begins by clarifying what “statutory” really means in compensation design, principles derived from law that organizations must follow to remain compliant. Mandeep places CTC at the centre of compensation strategy, explaining why it acts as an umbrella term for communication with employees, finance teams, and leadership, even though it is not defined by law. He then lays out generally accepted principles for what should form part of CTC, covering fixed pay, variable pay, statutory bonuses, allowances, employer statutory contributions, gratuity provisions, and employee benefits. Importantly, he draws a clear boundary between employee-related costs and business process expenses, explaining why items like HRMS licenses, office rent, and infrastructure should never be included in CTC. The episode concludes by emphasizing the need for organizations to adopt a clear, consistent CTC definition across HR, finance, and budgeting.Link to download report: https://www.hrhelpdesk.in/reports-and-studies/
#HRhelpdesk #IndiaHRGuide #MandeepSingh, with 25 years of HR expertise, Mandeep builds on the compensation framework by explaining the second critical legal concept, Total Remuneration. He clarifies that unlike CTC, total remuneration is explicitly defined in law and forms the statutory base for several downstream calculations. Mandeep explains that total remuneration includes all amounts paid directly to an employee or on behalf of the employee as part of the employment arrangement, such as salary and employer paid benefits like housing. He then draws a sharp legal distinction between guaranteed earnings and non guaranteed or performance linked pay, explaining why only amounts that an employee has a right to earn are included. Fixed salary and guaranteed bonuses are covered, while discretionary or performance based incentives are excluded. He also explains how joining bonuses and notice pay buyouts are treated, and when they form part of total remuneration. The episode concludes by stressing why correctly defining total remuneration is essential, as it becomes the foundation for compensation philosophy, statutory formulas, and legal compliance in the new labour code regime.Link to download report: https://www.hrhelpdesk.in/reports-and-studies/
Neste episódio, Guilherme Goulart e Vinícius Serafim debatem a “Constituição do Claude”, o documento de diretrizes publicado pela Anthropic para orientar o comportamento do modelo de linguagem Claude, abordando temas centrais como antropomorfização da IA, regulação tecnológica, responsabilidade das empresas e a questão filosófica sobre agência versus inteligência artificial. O episódio toca em termos estratégicos como inteligência artificial, segurança da informação, privacidade, ética em IA, responsabilidade corporativa, modelos de linguagem, guardrails, jailbreak, Constitutional AI, agente moral, agência artificial, “papagaio estocástico” e governança digital. Você vai descobrir por que a escolha da palavra “constituição” por uma empresa privada levanta alertas sobre legitimidade democrática, entender a diferença entre dar instruções em linguagem natural a um sistema computacional e genuinamente acreditar que ele possui consciência, e refletir sobre os riscos reais de se pavimentar, ideologicamente, um caminho que transforma a IA em “agente moral” para potencialmente reduzir a responsabilidade das grandes empresas de tecnologia. O debate também traz referências à obra de Luciano Floridi, ao conceito de papagaio estocástico, às Três Leis da Robótica de Asimov e ao clássico HAL 9000, conectando ficção científica, filosofia e direito num instigante.

Cada semana en Onda Cero junto a Agustín Bravo, Sergio Alberto Gama y Beatriz Martínez analizamos la seguridad vial. Diferencias en la investigación de los accidentes de tráfico en España y los ferroviarios En España, la investigación vial es competencia de la Agrupación de Tráfico de la Guardia Civil o policías locales (atestados). Su enfoque es principalmente judicial y administrativo. Los accidentes ferroviarios graves son investigados por la CIAF (Comisión de Investigación de Accidentes Ferroviarios). Este organismo es independiente y su objetivo es estrictamente técnico: emitir recomendaciones para que el Administrador de Infraestructuras (ADIF) o los operadores (Renfe, Ouigo, Iryo) modifiquen sus protocolos de seguridad. ¿Qué es el CIAF? La CIAF (Comisión de Investigación de Accidentes Ferroviarios) es el organismo técnico independiente encargado de analizar los siniestros en la red ferroviaria española. A diferencia de la Guardia Civil o los jueces, su misión no es buscar culpables ni imponer sanciones, sino identificar fallos en el sistema para emitir recomendaciones que eviten que el accidente se repita. Naturaleza e Independencia La CIAF goza de independencia orgánica y funcional. Aunque está adscrita al Ministerio de Transportes y Movilidad Sostenible, sus investigadores no reciben órdenes de ADIF, Renfe ni de ninguna operadora privada. Esta separación es vital: un organismo no puede investigarse a sí mismo con objetividad. Su ámbito de actuación abarca: • La Red Ferroviaria de Interés General (RFIG). • Las infraestructuras ferroviarias de titularidad estatal en puertos de interés general. • Cualquier accidente grave que ocurra en el sistema ferroviario español. El Protocolo de Investigación: Paso a Paso Cuando ocurre un suceso, la CIAF activa un protocolo estrictamente regulado por la normativa europea y la Ley del Sector Ferroviario. 1. Clasificación del suceso La CIAF tiene la obligación legal de investigar todos los accidentes graves (aquellos con al menos una víctima mortal o daños superiores a 2 millones de euros). Para incidentes menores, la comisión decide de forma discrecional si la investigación puede aportar lecciones de seguridad valiosas. 2. Fase de Instrucción (Recogida de Evidencias) Los investigadores de la CIAF tienen "prioridad de paso" y acceso total a: • El material rodante y los restos del accidente. • El Registrador Jurídico de Datos (la caja negra). • Las grabaciones de voz en cabina y registros de los centros de control de tráfico (CTC). • El estado de la infraestructura (vía, catenaria y señalización). 3. Análisis Técnico y Causalidad Aquí se aplica ingeniería forense. Se analizan parámetros como la velocidad, el estado de los frenos y la señalización recibida mediante balizas ASFA o el sistema ERTMS ($European Railway Traffic Management System$). Se busca la "causa raíz" y los "factores contribuyentes". 4. El Informe Final y las Recomendaciones Es el documento más importante. Se estructura en: • Hechos contrastados: Qué pasó exactamente. • Análisis: Por qué fallaron las barreras de seguridad. • Conclusiones: La secuencia lógica del siniestro. • Recomendaciones de seguridad: Propuestas técnicas dirigidas a ADIF, a las operadoras o a la Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Ferroviaria (AESF) para cambiar normativas, mejorar el mantenimiento o actualizar el software de los trenes. Diferencia Crítica: Investigación Técnica vs. Judicial Es común confundir el informe de la CIAF con el atestado policial o el proceso judicial, pero son esferas distintas: • Investigación Judicial/Policial: Busca la responsabilidad penal o civil. Determina si hubo negligencia, dolo o imprudencia por parte de individuos (maquinistas, técnicos de mantenimiento). Sus informes son la base de los juicios. • Investigación de la CIAF: Es estrictamente preventiva. Sus informes no pueden ser utilizados por los jueces como prueba única para condenar a alguien, ya que su propósito es el aprendizaje sistémico, no la punición. De hecho, la CIAF a menudo protege el anonimato de los implicados para fomentar que declaren con total honestidad sobre los fallos que detectaron.

Hey Nerdles! This week we are replaying a CTC Classic featuring Dr. Jessica Knurick. This episode originally aired more than a year ago when the Make America Healthy Again movement first started making a lot of noise.More than a year into this administration, we have one simple question: Are we healthy again? You be the judge.Seed oils. Chemicals. Processed Food. Make America Health Again. There is a lot of noise out there across social media and the entire country about these topics and this week we're address these topics, Cut The Crap style.We are joined this week by Dr. Jessica Knurick. Jessica is a PhD Nutrition researcher, Registered Dietitian, Science Communicator and women's advocate.We discuss the science behind seed oils and why they are in baby formula, chemicals and the differences in labels between the United States and other country, and dive into the Make America Healthy Again Movement.While talking about MAHA, we discuss how the movement started in the first place, what it's gotten wrong (and right), and the policies behind the problems that are impacting our health as a society.**This episode is a replay**You can grab a bag of Serenity or Flow gummies, or even CBD Salve for 20% off by visiting curednutrition.com/ctc and using coupon code “CTC” at checkout!Want to support our podcast?

FTP Theater Hour: Merry Wives of Windsor, Gentlemans Guide to Love and Murder reviews -- CTC theater camps -- USU play readings
Simon and Dan kick off with a quick update on the Canadian Investor Podcast’s first YouTube Live (March 3rd at noon ET). Then it’s straight into the GoEasy saga: Q4 earnings get pushed right up near the regulatory deadline, adding to a growing list of red flags around leadership turnover and loan-book quality. Simon and Dan explain why, like poker, you can’t cherry-pick the information you like. Next, Canadian Tire shows momentum: improving comps, margin expansion, and buybacks doing the heavy lifting—plus a look at rising credit-card write-offs and how the company is using AI to sharpen promos and inventory. They also dig into Blue Owl as private credit stress goes mainstream—redemptions, asset sales, and “par value” optics in a mark-to-model world. Finally, Home Depot remains stuck in a slow renovation cycle, leaning harder into the pro/distribution channel through acquisitions as higher rates weigh on demand.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-nineteenth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by COL Ricky Taylor, the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is the Commanding General for the fabled 82nd Airborne Division, MG Brandon Tegtmeier, All American 06. The 82nd Airborne Division specializes in joint forcible entry operations via vertical envelopment, both airborne and air assault, into denied areas with a U.S. Department of Defense requirement to respond to crisis contingencies anywhere in the world within 18 hours. They have the Hollywood call-sign of “All American” Division and the motto of “In Air, On Land.” This episode explores trends and best practices observed through the lens of an airborne division preparing for large-scale combat operations, with a consistent emphasis on fundamentals, training management, and condition setting at echelon. The discussion reinforces that success at division level is anchored in company-level and below proficiency, arguing that brigades and divisions can adapt rapidly during a CTC rotation, but deficiencies in small-unit fundamentals cannot be fixed once in contact. A recurring theme is the deliberate decompression of training—allowing platoons, companies, and battalions sufficient time to learn, rehearse, and apply lessons rather than rushing through compressed events. This approach enables leaders to internalize battle drills, reduce cognitive load under stress, and fight effectively in JRTC's “friction factory,” where units are tested under sustained pressure, casualties, logistics shortfalls, and enemy contact. From an operational perspective, the episode highlights how airborne formations must think differently about setting conditions across the fight, integrating intelligence, fires, sustainment, protection, and deception over time rather than relying on single convergence moments. Key topics include commander-driven MDMP, disciplined risk dialogue between commanders and staffs, and the necessity of clearly articulating information requirements to higher headquarters when organic collection assets are limited. The conversation also addresses emerging best practices such as protecting long-range fires, using maneuver forces to enable deep effects, embracing deception and EMCON to survive on a transparent battlefield, and offloading risk to robotics and UAS through formations like the MFRC. Sustainment realities for light forces—especially water and ammunition management following airborne or austere insertions—are repeatedly emphasized as decisive factors. Taken together, the episode presents a clear message: airborne divisions win by mastering fundamentals, deliberately preparing leaders at every echelon, and synchronizing effects over time to preserve combat power and maintain momentum in LSCO.

I actually have coffee. Nadim's my guest today. He has coffee, too. We are ready.Y'all don't know this—Nadim represents CTC Math, so it is 3 o'clock my time in the afternoon. He's over in New Zealand, so he's definitely getting his cup of coffee. I guess I'm getting my afternoon coffee, because it's morning time over there when we are recording this. I appreciate you just getting up and being available for us today.We're going to talk about math, because I know that's a struggle for a lot of moms. They're not sure what to do, because if they're not a math person, they're just like, oh, here comes my math time.Meet Nadim from CTC MathBefore we do, Nadim, could you just tell people a little bit about yourself with maybe CTC math?Nadim: I appreciate that, Kerry. Well, I'm Nadim. I've been working at CTC Math for over 13 years now. I'm the COO here, with a special interest in mathematics and education, especially childhood all-rounded education, I would say.CTC Math is an online math curriculum from K-12 with short, concise, to-the-point video tutorials.When Math Time Feels OverwhelmingLet's just begin our time. We're going to get straight to it with math and some of the struggles that moms have, because some of them are overwhelmed, but some people just feel unqualified to even teach math. We either have the overwhelmed mom, we have the unqualified mom. What would you say to a mom who just dreads the part of her day that has to do with math?Nadim: Great question, Kerry, and I would say that you're not alone. Math anxiety is common, even among parents who loved math at school.I think we can shift the thinking, especially in today's day and age. There's a lot of outsourcing that can occur, and we can outsource those subjects that we don't particularly feel comfortable teaching, or want to teach, and then our goal as homeschoolers isn't to be the teacher as such, but to be the coach or encourager.I think kids build independence through this process, and parents can really focus on guiding, rather than planning every step or teaching every concept.That's such an important thing for each of us to decide. What are we going, as moms or dads, what are we going to actually teach, and then what can we use as resources? I'll be really honest. I loved math in high school. I was a math minor in college, and then we moved forward 20 or whatever years to homeschooling my kids in math.When we got to high school math, I was like, I don't really like math as much as I used to. I loved teaching the elementary, I taught that and everything, but sometimes I got to the point—now, this was 20 years ago—I had to find things that would work with my kids and with me.Building Habits and Routines for ConsistencyI also had to build in habits and routines so that it would become consistent. From your experience, can you give us any habits or routines that might help kids stay consistent in their math without stressing through the whole homeschool time?Nadim: Yeah, for sure. I'm a big fan of being consistent and implementing routines, but I will say each child is unique, and it's important to implement what's important for your child, knowing your child and their needs.But I would generally say that it's better off having a little bit of math every day, rather than a whole day worth of math. You might integrate a short regular session, say 15 to 20 minutes long, more frequently, perhaps 4 or 5 days a week, rather than longer sessions on 1 or 2 days a week.It is important to have that consistency, that time, and that time may alter on different days of the week, but you know in advance, or your children know in advance, they will be doing math at 10:30 on Wednesday, for instance.I would also say that with consistency, there has to be structure. I heard a lot of people talk about rewards. I don't know if I'm a big fan of rewards. I don't know if rewarding your children for doing something that they should be doing is sending the right message.But what I would say is that you can flip it. If there's something that they want to do, or something that they're requesting, or something that they're asking for, make sure that they do their math, or whatever chore, or whatever they're putting off, to unlock that thing that they wish to do next. That just teaches them a bit of order in life.Again, each child's unique, your family situations are—you know your children best.I think you're becoming my new best friend, because I love that, because I'm not like, yes, I think kids need to do things because they're expected, and that's just part of life and learning some self-discipline as well. Yet, you can build it into, you gotta finish all this, and then you go outside and play, or whatever the thing happens to be.Supporting Busy ParentsI know moms get busy a lot of times, but yet they really want to support their kids in math, but they're busy with other subjects, or let's just face it, cooking 3 meals a day and trying to balance it. How do you encourage parents to support their kids in math in that situation?Nadim: I think there's a few things here. I think we need to encourage independence. And how do we do that? Well, we need a structure or a framework for that. We need a system for them to use and adapt that will promote that. If the current system is not creating that environment, you may need to look at alternatives.I'm going to talk a little bit about CTC Math here, because it really does lend in with the busy parents. If you've got video tutorials that explain each and every concept, if you've got automated reporting and questions and grading, if you can set tasks in advance, then receive the reports to ensure the accountability is there, then checking math doesn't become a 30, 60-minute exercise. It becomes a 5-minute exercise.You're just there to add the polish, to add the encouragement. Perhaps if there's a certain concept that they're struggling with, show them how to unlock or view additional material.It's really about that structure. If you've got the structure in place, it allows for independent learning. Now, at the same time, if they go quiet for weeks, you need to check in, because sometimes they've gone, well, if I don't bother mom or dad about this, they're not going to bother me about this. They're very clever. Our kids are super clever. We also need to have those frequent check-ins when they're not checking in with us.Building Independence and Critical ThinkingI love that independence work. You may not know this about me, but I teach moms about leadership education and learning independence and critical thinking skills, and that they eventually—I mean, okay, a 5-year-old may need a lot more help than a 15-year-old, but by the time they're in high school, they should be working independently, and they should even be helping plan their week, I believe, so that they can actually be able to launch into adulthood and know how to live a life.I love that independence, and I did not know about CTC Math back in 2004, 5, 6, when my kids were teenagers. So I did go find something that helped them, and that would do those short little lessons, because that's what would help be consistent in there as well.You want moms to be intentional, but they don't want to—this is the other thing with leadership education, you don't want to just be checking off a bunch of boxes and moving forward, because you need to think about the full realm, and are you really raising your child educationally and intentionally? How would that translate for homeschool moms or families so they're not just checking off the boxes?Every Moment is TeachableNadim: I think if you're going with the mindset that everything is a teachable moment, that really resets your thinking. Even the good is teachable. The bad is great, because that's teachable.I'll share a bit of a personal story. My eldest daughter, she's 9, and she is very smart, and has a great sense of justice, but to the point where it overrides charity. She thinks that if someone else is being mean, she has the right to be mean back, because that's what they deserve.We were having this conversation, and it really offended my wife and I that we've got a child who's not the kindest. But we both realized that this is actually great, because no child is perfect, everyone has character defects. I wasn't working on my character defects until my 20s.But this ability to see that you can help your children as soon as possible, and I think that's very much not checking the box. If we go in with this attitude of teachable moments, that is great. That, of course, extends to math as well.I would say that checking a box is very easy in math. Even we think, if we get a long 40-minute lesson, and we get a 20- or 30-minute explanation with just 10 minutes of practice, the 5-minute explanation with that 25 minutes of practice, or 35 minutes worth of practice, is far more effective.Often, the long, drawn-out explanation confuses the child. Less is more.We can have a mastery approach in our teaching of our children, where they build up their skill, but then incorporate spiral review, perhaps on a Thursday or a Friday, and have that combination going. But if we teach too many concepts at once, if we don't go with that mastery explanation, the children are drowning in it.Again, that's not to dismiss spiral learning. You can have the spiral review once a week.I love that, and I think that's—we think like moms. They start talking and teaching, and they're thinking, the more I talk and the more I teach, the more my kids are going to learn, and that is not happening. I love this idea of a 5-minute explanation, and then let them put it into practice.I'm a big believer in mastery, especially in math, because if they don't master a concept, you don't just keep checking the boxes and moving on to the next concept. You've got to make sure they understand it, because it all builds on each other. I just thank you for sharing that. I think that is so important, and the idea of the spiral and the review of past concepts as well.Real Stories of Changed ConfidenceI want to talk about CTC, but before we do, can you just share a story of a homeschool family, maybe, who saw some real change in their child's math confidence or results, and what made that difference?Nadim: Yeah, we've got quite a few stories, actually. Amber springs to mind. She's been using CTC Math with her nine children for quite a while now. But I think the theme that comes through, and we've got countless testimonials on our website, if you go to our website and click what others say, you'll be forever scrolling.But I think that the consistent theme that comes through is that the daily battles have not completely ended. They never do. We've always got daily battles. But certainly when it comes to math, they're not what they used to be, and the tears are no more.It can become incredibly stressful when you're trying to teach something and it's just not getting through. I think that stress builds up between parent and child over time, and the starting point of that stress on a given day is at a higher point.I think removing those daily battles comes through, and they're real stories that we consistently get. Our mission is to have a positive impact on as many families as possible through the enjoyment and learning of math. We hope that we continue to help confidence grow in these children.Well, I personally have not used it because my grandkids, they're doing other—they're little—but the families I talk to that use CTC Math, it is amazing. They're just like, oh no, this is what we're using, and we are going to keep going.Learning at Their Own PaceI know one of the things, and I like this, is that you want to let children learn at their own pace through the videos and the questions and everything. How does that structure of letting them learn at their own pace support both the parent and the kids in a homeschool?Nadim: Well, the heavy lifting's done for you, so no explanations are required. Those video tutorials are there, so you don't have to do that heavy lifting.I would also say that whether the child's 5 or 18, they're able to access the material themselves. If they can't read, the questions are read out to them. They watch a video tutorial, get a short, concise explanation. They jump to the interactive questions that are adaptive in nature. They change in difficulty level based on the student's ability, your child's ability. So they go up.Sometimes what happens when we learn from a textbook or a non-adaptive material is that the child's ability might be here, and the questions are here. The questions get gradually more difficult, but the child's ability doesn't improve, because they're just not getting it, so the gap widens.What's really important is that the questions meet the child at their level, and bring them up. That's what we do with the adaptive style questions.There are also—we for sure promote pen and paper math, so we want children to have pen and paper in front of them. There's printables that they can have, and we've got that spiral review with the weekly revisions and the diagnostic tests.There's also a whole bunch of great features that automate this whole process and help busy moms with that structure. You pick and choose the tools that best suit your family's needs. That's really important. You don't go in using all the tools of CTC Math, because it would be overwhelming.But you pick the ones that you need, whether it's setting tasks, and you can set an entire year's worth of tasks through a couple of clicks of a button. You can create custom worksheets. You can choose and select the various reports that you want. You can use the diagnostics to go back and fill those gaps.Math is a building block. If there are holes, we need to go back and review them. Because you have access from kindergarten to calculus, you can identify and pinpoint previous lessons. But at the same time, if your child's doing really well, why hold them back? Let them go on, let them continue at their own pace.Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It sounds like such a great fit, because some kids are really going to struggle, and they need those questions brought down a little till they actually understand the concept, and then other kids are getting it like this, and they just need to move on forward.Addressing Screen Time ConcernsI know this program's all online, so if you have parents, maybe, that are like, I'm not sure about an online math program, what would you say to them? What are some benefits? I know I work with some parents, they don't want their kid on the computer all day long, but there are, like you said, you pick and choose where mom's going to actually be teaching face-to-face, and then where kids are. What would be the benefits of doing an online program?Nadim: Yeah, and Kerry, I'll start by saying that my kids are 9, 7, and 5. No one has an iPad, no one has their own personal device, no one has a computer, and no one will be getting any of those for some time.We do have a computer in a public space that every family member has access to and uses. I am very strongly against the social media for my children, and anything that is addictive in nature. Anything that was built to be addictive.I don't know if it's the screen time that impacts the child. I don't know if it's looking in front of a screen. I think it is, if it's for hours and hours and hours, don't get me wrong. But I think the thing that's doing the most damage is what's impacting the kid's dopamine levels.Everything is built to be addictive these days. Even I see a lot of ed tech companies now switching and going, oh, let's build avatars, let's unlock missions, let's have stars and this and that, and let's play with the kids' dopamine levels so that we keep them on. There's language programs out there for kids and adults that are a perfect example of this.I would say that I am concerned too. CTC Math is built to improve student outcomes. It's not built to keep your child on the screen any longer than they need to, to learn that concept and understand that concept.We do have some levels of encouragement, but it's not to the level of keeping them hooked. That is really, really important. Anything that is addictive should not be placed in front of our children.I'll give you a very simple example as well. Kids' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and shorter. If we go back to when I used to watch TV, which wasn't that long ago, I would have to sit through commercials. I would have to sit through some boring commercials, while watching one episode.Now, kids, through online streaming, can watch an episode commercial-free. The other thing was, I'd have to wait one whole week to see the next episode. So there's some resilience, there's some patience built in there. Perhaps TV wasn't the best thing. It wasn't as bad and as addictive as it is now.Now, children can watch an entire season in a day! What took us 6 months? They're consuming in a day or two. This is the real problem. This is what we have to look at and really assess.Now, I would 100% respect anyone that doesn't think screen time is a good fit for their children, and I think pen and paper style math is a great way. But then, it comes with its—who does the teaching? Because the child cannot learn reading a textbook. It does not work. You can't read math and absorb that information.The other thing is, with technology these days, the things have advanced, so these adaptive questions are very powerful, because they really do build confidence. They're not seeing anything too difficult, and they're not seeing anything too easy. So, their attention is constantly switched on, and they're constantly learning at the same time.A lot of pros and cons. We gotta balance these things out, we gotta take it all in, and we gotta make an evaluation for our family.The Anxious Generation and Screen TimeYou just spoke my language, especially when you brought up dopamine and the addiction, and I read a book I guess this summer, called The Anxious Generation. I mean, there are a few little things I didn't agree with them, but so much—I was a child of the 60s, and when you see that playground, and the kids are hanging off these metal things that our parents—parents today, or helicopter parents, they're like, we never let them, gotta have a safety net.It was so good. That's a whole other conversation, but I do want to just reiterate, we need to be careful with what we put in front of our kids and screens.I was a little concerned, because I have an older granddaughter, not a teenager, but for some reason, I thought my daughter had said, oh, I think we might give her a phone, and in my head, I'm like—and I brought the conversation up this summer, and she was like, oh, no, Mom, and we're not having social media either. I mean, they need to be almost out of the house, which gave me a lot of peace and comfort, because I just was like, so it just made me feel good that we were all on the same page.That's a whole other story, but thank you for bringing up the dopamine. I do think there's a difference, and I interviewed someone else, and she was saying all screens aren't bad. It's the ones that are addictive, the ones that are gamifying everything, and that's the thing. She started talking more about the brain and the mind and all of that kind of stuff, which made me remember that online teaching can be good, and it can be a tool, and it can help lessen the overwhelm of everything that a mom's doing, because you can't do it all, even though people may say that.The Freedom CTC Math ProvidesThe other thing I've been curious about, CTC talks about giving families freedom to sort of fit math into their unique schedule, handle catch-up or advancement, the kid that's struggling, the kid's moving ahead, and then monitoring. Can you just tell us a little bit about how that works?Nadim: Yes, so access from kindergarten to calculus, so your children can go in to any grade level that they need help with. That's super important for flexibility, because you don't want them at a level that they're not ready for.Also, you can do it anywhere, anytime. We hear of families who are sitting in the doctor's waiting room with their device, and watching the video tutorials with some headphones, and completing the questions. We're actually very popular in the RV community.RV families will always have an internet connection, because they're always on the road. All you need is an internet connection. There's countless testimonials, and countless photos of people doing CTC Math in the greatest places, in front of nature.It really is, and if you miss a lesson, or you want to catch up on the summer slide, it's always available for you. And again, if they're doing really, really well, move them ahead. Just continue on to the next lesson.Parents can adjust tasks and skip topics once they're mastered, and there's real-time progress. You also have access—a family plan gives you access to all your children. There's no cap on it, as long as they live under your home. So that makes it very easy.That sounds great. If a family is interested, they just want to be introduced to CTC Math in their homeschool, what would you suggest for them?Nadim: Yeah, two things. One, visit our website, and there's a free trial. No commitment, no credit card. It is a light version, a guest version, and that's because, two, a full membership comes with a 12-month money-back guarantee, so there's no questions asked.If you try CTC Math, and it doesn't work for you and your family, send us an email, give us a call, we'll refund your payment, no questions asked. This is because we do not want you using a curriculum or a program that is not benefiting your child. We don't want to be a roadblock for you to move on to something else.We asked parents, what's your biggest concern when selecting math curriculum? And it was that it won't work, and I'm stuck with it for the entire year. It shouldn't be like that. We need to support the greater cause, we need to push the cart in the same direction.I don't say CTC Math is 100% fit for everyone, because each child is unique and different, and there's plenty of wonderful tools out there. There really is. It's amazing. Across all subjects. So there's something more important at play, and we would say that we believe that CTC Math certainly works for the vast majority. But please reach out if it's not for you.That's so good. Remind everyone what your website is, and we will put that in the show notes as well.Nadim: Yeah. CTCMath.com. Cut through curriculum. CTCMath.com.That is awesome. Thank you so much for being here today. Just in closing, is there anything that you would like to leave us with?Nadim: Keep up the good work. It's amazing that we are the primary educators of our children. That is so important. It's something so special. Keep up the good work.That sounds great. Thank you, Nadim. I really appreciate you spending time with us today.Ready to end the daily math battles? Try CTC Math with their free trial at CTCMath.com—no credit card required. Full memberships come with a 12-month money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Visit the website today and see how short video tutorials, adaptive questions, and automated grading can transform math time in your homeschool!

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Isaac Jumper, assistant professor and ambulatory clinician at Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Jumper was the first author on a paper published in the Bovine Practitioner online first edition. This peer-reviewed journal published by AABP is open access. The target audience for the journal is the practicing cattle veterinarian and there are no publication fees for submissions. Find the journal at this link. The objective of this paper was to study the temporal consumption patterns of chlortetracycline (CTC)-medicated mineral supplement offered free choice to beef cows on pasture and test the effect of cow age on CTC-medicated mineral supplement intake. The study involved an adaptation period to acclimate cows to the SmartFeed units and a trial period to test the study objectives. During the 27-day adaptation period, 76% of cattle consumed any amount of the diet during the day and the average total intake was just under 8 kg per cow or 0.3 kg per day. During the 46-day trial period, 27% of cows across all pasture groups consumed any amount of CTC-medicated mineral with an average amount consumed of just under 41 grams per day. The average dose of CTC consumed was 0.53 mg/kg per day which is less than the labeled dose of 1.1 mg/kg. The authors identified variability between cows in consumption of CTC-medicated mineral. The mean number of consumption days was 12.5, the number of consecutive days the average cow visited the feeder was 1.6 and the average number of days between visits was 6 days. We discuss the implications for control of anaplasmosis with these results. The authors identified that in this study, feeding CTC-medicated mineral did not ensure that cows on free-choice pasture-based feeding programs did not consume the label dose of CTC. As the age of the cow increased, the frequency of visits decreased, and the total consumption of CTC-medicated mineral declined. Veterinarians who are utilizing CTC for control of anaplasmosis should be familiar with FDA regulations on the Veterinary Feed Directive, including dosing, the difference between hand-fed labels and free-choice administration, and the prohibition of extralabel drug use for medically important antimicrobials administered in feed. A pilot study investigating consumption patterns of chlortetracycline-medicated mineral supplement offered free choice to beef cows on pasture. (2025).

Electricity demand in the US is rising faster than it has in decades, driven by AI and a wave of investment in domestic manufacturing. But with transmission lines and other electricity infrastructure taking years to permit and build, how can America secure the power it needs fast enough to remain competitive?In this special episode of The Energy Gang, recorded at the ACORE Grid Forum in Washington DC, host Ed Crooks speaks with industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers tackling the challenge of “speed to power”, and asks them for their ideas on how to accelerate the build-out of the next grid.Ed begins the episode with Heather Reams, President of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, who explains why bipartisan consensus on permitting reform is finally within reach, and what it will take to sustain political will through an election year.Next, Richard Kauffman, Chair of the Coalition for Green Capital, shares his perspective on how creative financing models and public-private partnerships can unlock investment for distributed and community-scale energy projects that strengthen the grid from the ground up.Ed then speaks with Rob Gramlich, Founder and President of Grid Strategies LLC, who breaks down the regulatory and planning challenges slowing progress on transmission and offers insight into the reforms needed to modernise America's grid for a new era of demand.Technology can help find solutions faster. Theodore Paradise, Chief Policy and Grid Strategy Officer at CTC Global, discusses how advanced conductors with carbon fibre cores can double transmission capacity without building a single new line. He also explains how CTC's new partnership with Google is accelerating the deployment of new transmission technology.Finally, Ray Long, President and CEO of ACORE, joins Ed to bring all the threads together, highlighting how political leadership, technology, and finance must converge if the US is to meet its rising power needs and remain globally competitive.This episode was recorded at the ACORE Grid Forum in Washington DC.You can also watch the full conversation in video format on YouTube - just search Energy Gang.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

10k Steps. Often see as the gold standard for weight loss and fitness goals, but there's a caveat: Where your steps come from, matters. Many people have active jobs such as nurses, teachers, or manufacturing jobs - and that's great, but it doesn't replace the need to still do intentional cardio and strength training. This week, we dive into why!We also dive into a question Beth received about "only" losing a half of a pound every week and why it's your mindset and expectations that are needing to change, not the scale.Join our Patreon for monthly workouts, challenges, recipes, and to become part of the Cut The Crap Community!

4. The Birth of the Counterterrorism Center and Early Warnings of Bin Laden Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Following the Cold War, the CIA lacked a clear mission. However, a terrifying series of terrorist incidents in the mid-1980s, including the 1985 Malta hijacking handled by Heidi August, led to the formation of the small, low-prestige Counterterrorism Center (CTC). Heidi, traumatized after calling the mother of a dead civilian victim, chose to devote her career to fighting terrorism. The CTC, located in an undesirable office, attracted an odd assortment of people, including future key figures like analysts Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude. Cindy Storer, initially relegated to the Afghanistan desk, was the first to recognize the threat posed by Arab jihadist fighters dispersing globally and being funded by a mysterious financier: Osama bin Laden. Despite gathering critical intelligence, the CTC's analysts (Directorate of Intelligence—DI) struggled to be heard, facing contempt from the clandestine spies (Directorate of Operations—DO) and difficulty publishing their findings due to required corporate buy-in.
