More Tariff trouble on the horizon, but markets have seen this movie before (The Stick & Carrot Show). Market risk remains, as markets are highly deviated.

Lance Roberts & Danny Ratliff reveal how to shield your retirement savings from decades of inflation: The necessity of Inflation and how to deal with it (inflation is a function of economic growth); the mistake of being too conservative, fear of The Black Swan that never appears. Lance reveals his memory challenges; living thru market downturns, and lessons learned. Market downturns don't happen over night. Treasuries vs Equities: What's the proper blend? Passive Investing is an oxymoron. Risk management is essential for fighting inflation.

“Let the children come to me and hinder them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God” Matthew 19:14    "A creature can be led astray by something that is in itself quite small. It is something that creeps in unnoticed under the guise of love and assistance but which is actually due to blindness of an adult whose unconscious egoism can have a truly diabolical influence upon a child. And yet children are constantly being born anew, bearing within themselves unspoiled the plan according to which they should normally develop."

In this episode of the CCPT Purism series, I talk about a critical but often overlooked common drift points that shift us from pure CCPT practice. These are small, often unconscious shifts we make in session—like redirecting, interpreting play, or using reflective questions—that quietly pull us out of full CCPT adherence. I explore common causes of drift, including anxiety, pressure for outcomes, prior training in other modalities, and the instinct to be helpful. I also walk through real examples of what these drifts look like in session and why they matter—because every drift adds adult control and takes ownership away from the child. When we drift, we undermine the very conditions that make CCPT effective. This episode is a challenge to bring intentionality, self-awareness, and recalibration into your sessions so you can remain fully aligned with the purity of the model.

In response to my video on how Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy managed to win the loyalty of many book fans despite its many changes from the source material, I received a number of comments explaining how his changes were necessitated by the adaptation of a book to a movie. But does that excuse really hold water? I don't think so.For my video on how Jackson's trilogy got so much support from fans, which started this whole discussion, click here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLdAKdYd7sYOther Links: Playeur (formerly Utreon):https://playeur.com/c/TolkienLorePodcast/Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-355195Odysee: https://odysee.com/@TolkienLore:fTwitter: https://twitter.com/jrrtlorePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tolkiengeekXero Shoes (affiliate link): https://xeroshoes.com/go/TolkienGeekDiscord server invite link: https://discord.gg/EVKynAj2m9 (Iflink is expired contact me at tolkienloremaster@gmail.comand I'll send a fresh invite link).

Today, I am delighted to welcome Nidhi Pandya, an Ayurvedic doctor and the author of the soon-to-be-released book Your Body Already Knows, to explore the interconnection between Ayurveda, yoga, and mindful living. In this insightful episode, Nidhi dives into her journey of growing up immersed in ancient Ayurvedic traditions. She shares the profound wisdom of those principles and explains how she has woven them into her personal and professional life. Join us for Nidhi's heartfelt stories and actionable insights highlighting the relevance of Ayurveda in modern-day life.Early Immersion in AyurvedaNidhi grew up in a large family in India, where Ayurveda was an intrinsic part of life, taught through rhythms and logic rather than explicit instructions. Her grandfather, an Ayurvedic healer, influenced her upbringing, and she learned to observe subtle connections between body, mind, and environment. That foundation sparked her curiosity about human behavior and health.Formal Training and Unique Education PathIn her early twenties, she moved to the U.S. and pursued formal Ayurvedic education despite the skepticism of her family. She studied at a rare Gurukul-style institution that offered intensive classes led by top educators from Pune's Tilak Ayurveda Mahavidyalay. That rigorous, classical training complemented her experience of Ayurveda and shaped her understanding of the science.Transition to Empowering PracticeAfter initially practicing Ayurveda in a prescriptive manner and becoming disillusioned with the dependency it created among her clients, she transitioned to teaching principles of self-evaluation and empowerment, helping people to integrate Ayurvedic practices into their lives sustainably.Ayurveda Across Life Stages and ContextsAyurvedic practices shift with age and lifestyle demands. Regardless of the external circumstances, everyone faces internal battles, which Ayurveda can help address. Nidhi encourages integrating small, meaningful daily practices to prevent individuals from carrying their unresolved stress into the future.Ayurveda for Modern LifeWhile preventative care may dominate in younger years, repair becomes more critical with age. Nidhi advises everyone to create a sanctuary of peace regardless of their living environment.Group Work and the Power of CommunityNidhi works primarily with women in group settings. She highlights the unique challenges women face globally and believes that when women heal, it creates a ripple effect that has the potential to create widespread healing. Common Challenges Women FaceNidhi identifies burnout, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, and insomnia as the most prevalent challenges most women worldwide face. She highlights how societal pressures tend to force women to sacrifice parts of themselves, leading to emotional and physical strain. Her work addresses those imbalances by helping women embrace all aspects of their identities without striving for perfection.Reaching Millennials Through AyurvedaHer work naturally resonates with Millennials. Nidhi designed her approach to empower individuals by teaching logical connections between body and environment, emphasizing self-trust and practical experimentation rather than prescribing rigid solutions.The Concept of Inner ClimateNidhi introduced the concept of the inner climate to simplify Ayurvedic principles. She explains that just as the climate on Earth supports life, the body thrives when its warm and moist internal environment is balanced and aligns with the ideal conditions for microbiota, digestion, and overall health. Deviations from that balance lead to physical and emotional imbalances.Modern Imbalances...

Fintech lending was supposed to be the bridge that would enable entrepreneurs, small businesses and even individuals across the country to get access to much-needed credit to build businesses. For millions of small and medium businesses, and even individuals seeking a personal loan, who'd otherwise not qualify for them (usually unsecured ones) from banks, these new-age financial institutions were the great hope and sources of credit.Then in October this year, the RBI, like it usually seems to do these days, suddenly swept in and took action. It halted the loan disbursement activities of four NBFCs: Asirvad Micro Finance Limited, Arohan Financial Services Limited, DMI Finance Private Limited, and Navi Finserv Limited.  In fact, between the time we recorded this episode to when we released it, the RBI had lifted restrictions from one of these companies - Navi Finserv. But why did the RBI do this?Here are some hints as to why. Here are two quotes from the RBI about why they did this:“Deviations were also observed in respect of Income Recognition & Asset Classification norms, resulting in evergreening of loans, conduct of gold loan portfolio, mandated disclosure requirements on interest rates and fees, outsourcing of core financial services, etc.”And here's the most interesting one: “...unfair and usurious practices continued to be seen during the course of onsite examinations as well as from the data collected and analysed offsite”That's what the RBI said.But what did it not say?Joining hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan for the discussion are guests Ateesh Tankha and Mithun Sundar. Ateesh Tankha is the founder of Alsowise Content Solutions and a keen observer and critic of the financial services space, and Mithun Sundar is the chief Partner Officer at Microsoft India and a former CEO of Lendingkart.Throughout our conversation, both Mithun and Ateesh took the time to explain how digital lending works, why private banks are hesitant to enter the ring and play the game themselves, what's up with the sky-high interest rates charged on these loans, and, of course, why credit is so important for our country's growth and where we're falling short.Welcome to episode 20 of Two by Two.Additional reading:RBI had better explain why Navi and DMI Finance are locked out of the loan marketFor fintechs, RBI is the boy who cries wolf---------This is a shorter '30-minute' episode.

Daily Study: I am a strong believer of staying focused and not deviating from your calling, because focused pursuits over time bring success. Whereas, deviations from your path slow down your calling to a standstill. However, we also have Holy Spirit inside us who knows how to navigate the ups and downs of a calling. This means that there may be seasons when Holy Spirit will direct you to take an anointed deviation that may appear to break your focus. The difference between an anointed deviation verses a self-appointed deviation is that an anointed deviation does not slow down the success of your calling. It will compliment it.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com                    

How can a seasonal buy signal comport with the need to manage market risk? You can have a market trending higher and still have risk: When you see markets moving ever higher, and become extremely deviated from the averages, it implies that you're going to have some kind of corrective action = risk. So even though you're in a bull market trend, and even though you have a seasonal buy signal it doesn't mean that you should avoid risk management. Deviations from the 50- and 200-DMA tend to correct back to the average...which is why they're called averages. Market behaviors around that event are what we must watch for. The opportunity to buy dips is what we need to identify.

In the 200th episode of the AABP Have you Herd? podcast, AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Jessican Klabnik, a theriogenologist on faculty at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Klabnik was one of the authors on a paper published in the Online First edition of the Bovine Practitioner. This case series paper evaluated the surgical success and reproductive performance of bulls undergoing surgery for correction of penile deviation.Klabnik reviews penile deviation syndrome in bulls which can include spiral, ventral or sigmoid deviations due to an abnormality in the dorsal apical ligament. Surgical correction or culling are the only management considerations for these bulls; however, there is a lack of peer-reviewed data on the outcomes from surgical correction. Klabnik discusses some of the challenges with collecting data from these 25 cases with 10 cases meeting the inclusion criteria for the study. The surgery does not have a high risk of complications and was deemed successful in seven out of the ten bulls evaluated. Of these seven, six bulls achieved intromission and five sired progeny. Although this study represents a small number of cases, the surgery appears to have a 50:50 success rate, but due to the low risk of complications, bulls that do not successfully return to herd sire capabilities can still be culled for salvage value. This case series report can help to guide veterinarians performing bull breeding soundness exams when they observe a penile deviation, and also help veterinarians in private practice or referral institutions when evaluating bulls as surgical candidates.Mossallam, A. F., Schumaker, O. J., Mulon, P.-Y., Dohlman, T. M., Meisner, M. D., Jarrin-Yepez, P., Anderson, D. E., Rush, J. B., Prado, T. M., Armstrong, C. L., & Klabnik, J. L. (2024).

Thoughts motivate all the actions we take. When it comes to overeating, there are particular reasons why we choose to dismiss the body's signals of hunger and satiety and respond to our emotional appetite. On today's podcast Molly explains how thought deviations encourage us to focus more on food and less on our body when cravings kick in. You'll learn how thought deviations are rooted in a diet mentality, the common ones many of us believe, and why these patterns of thinking are not “errors” but old beliefs that need to be challenged.

Ep 492 - The Fountain of Youth Guest - Angela Brooks-Wilson   By Stuart McNish   Researchers at Simon Fraser University and BC Cancer have pinpointed specific physiological traits that they say “can help people live longer, healthier lives.” According to a recent study published in GeroScience, the healthiest, older adults live in a “sweet spot,” where more than 100 different physiological traits interact, and that dynamic interaction makes them healthier than their counterparts.   Key to living in the “sweet spot” is homeostasis, which is a collection of mechanisms that your body uses to maintain constancy in blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and body temperature. The more consistent your body is, the healthier you are. Deviations from optimal ranges of vitamin D, calcium, glucose and other mechanisms lead to a higher risk of mortality.   We invited Angela Brooks-Wilson, a co-author of the report, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about what we now know about the “sweet spot” of health and how this knowledge may equip you to live longer and healthier.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/   Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

More simply stated, vaccines are intended to be used to prevent disease and generally do so through establishing and maintaining relatively high levels of circulating antibody titers. Because antibody titers wane over time, it is important that vaccines be administered and readministered (often referred to as "boostered") at the times necessary to result in antibody coverage throughout expected or potential exposure to disease-causing pathogens. It is critically important to recognize that vaccines are intended to be preventive tools, and the efficacy of any tool can be impacted by how it is used. Because vaccines are biological products, they are often susceptible to environmental abuse and exposure to conditions outside of certain optimal ranges. As such, vaccines should be stored, handled, and administered in ways that are described on the label using techniques that protect product efficacy. The product label contains the information necessary to ensure that product storage, handling, and administration practices do not limit or negate product efficacy. Deviations from such instructions may result in decreased product efficacy. In general, most vaccines should be refrigerated, but not frozen, and should remain within the desired refrigerated temperature range throughout storage, transportation, and up to the time of administration. The most common causes of decreased efficacy are storage, transportation, and handling abuse. Examples include not transporting vaccines in coolers, not storing vaccines in coolers on working days, and storing vaccines in refrigerators that do not maintain temperature within the necessary range. Vaccines that will be stored for extended periods of time should be stored only in refrigerators that have been verified to maintain the correct temperature range. Data-logging thermometers are an inexpensive but valuable investment. Vaccines, including vaccine vials and loaded syringes, should also be protected from direct exposure to sunlight. In addition, vaccines that have been exposed to the environment by puncturing the seal with a needle should not be stored and reused. If a needle has been inserted into the vial, the vaccine should be used during that working event, and any unused contents discarded per label directions. Storing previously opened vaccines allows for the potential growth of harmful microorganisms, and thus should be avoided in order to minimize the risk of unintentionally causing an adverse reaction or health event. Some vaccines require reconstitution by adding diluent to a dehydrated powder. All vaccines require mixing or agitating before administration. Mix vaccines gently by slowly swirling and inverting unless the label specifies otherwise. If reconstitution is required, reconstitute and mix only the amount of vaccine that will be used within an hour or less. Do not mix the entire day's allotment of vaccine at the beginning of a working event. It is good practice to reconstitute and mix only a single bottle of vaccine at a time. Disposable syringes and needles should be discarded after each use. Repeatable, repeater, or "pistol-grip" style syringes should be cleaned after each use. Do not use soap, cleaning agents, or chemical disinfectants to clean reusable syringes. Rather, flush them repeatedly with hot water. Water should be boiled and allowed to cool slightly before repeatedly filling and emptying the syringe. Transfer needles should be boiled in water, then allowed to dry before storage and eventual reuse. Syringe lubricants are not recommended because they represent a potential risk to product efficacy through interaction with the active components of the vaccine. Syringe lubricants are also unnecessary because the initial draw of a vaccine into the syringe provides adequate lubrication. Syringe O-rings should be replaced as necessary, and extras should be kept on hand so that they are available when needed. This will help to minimize the risk of a syringe failure. Similarly, vaccine efficacy may be limited by the ability of the animal's immune system to adequately respond to the vaccine. There are a number of animal-related factors that may influence vaccine efficacy. Of these, nutrition and environmental stressors are the most common. Both nutrient deficiencies and toxicities can impair immune function and, as a result, influence an individual animal's response to a vaccine. Trace mineral, protein, and energy deficiencies are the most common nutrition-related issues that limit vaccine efficacy. Energy deficiencies are generally easy to identify through low levels of animal performance, low body condition, and general unthriftiness. Trace mineral and protein deficiencies are often more difficult to visually identify. Trace mineral deficiencies, however, are easy to correct through supplementing with minerals or including trace mineral sources at adequate (but not excessive) levels in a complete ration. Consumption of mycotoxins, other toxins, or other antinutritional factors may also impact vaccine efficacy. In addition, pre existing disease, heavy parasite loads, heat stress, and cold stress are all conditions that may also influence the animal's immune system and as a result, its ability to fully respond to a vaccine. Although certain vaccinations are highlighted in this chapter, their mention should be considered a general rule of thumb. Their necessity for a given herd health program, or the lack thereof, may be subject to interpretation or opinion. The herd veterinarian is best positioned to provide direct recommendations on vaccination programs, including which components should be considered essential, and their optimum timing of administration. Generally speaking, modified live virus (MLV) vaccines typically do not require revaccination to result in an effective antibody response. Killed virus (KV) vaccines, or combined KV and MLV vaccines, generally do require a revaccination (or booster) to result in an effective vaccination as defined by antibody response. Vaccines that require revaccination should be readministered within the period of time described on the product label. Vaccines that do not require revaccination should be administered at or near the time of weaning. Nonetheless, the product label and herd veterinarian should determine if and when revaccination is necessary to result in an effective antibody response. A strong, comprehensive beef cattle vaccination program begins with implementation at the cow-calf level. From a life cycle standpoint, preweaning calfhood vaccinations are the greatest opportunity to initiate a comprehensive and effective vaccination program. Timing of preweaning vaccinations generally coincides with other working events, such as branding, pre breeding vaccinations of the cow herd, or bull turnout. Vaccinating calves at this time will help to minimize the risk of preweaning disease and will better prepare them to withstand the stress of weaning. Calfhood vaccination programs should at minimum include vaccination against various clostridial and viral respiratory diseases. Common essential components of calfhood viral respiratory disease vaccines include: bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) types I and II infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) parainfluenza type-3 (PI-3) In addition, clostridial disease vaccinations commonly include coverage against the following: Clostridium chauvoei C haemolyticum C novyi C perfringens types C & D C septicum and may also include C sordelli and/or C tetani. Some calfhood vaccination programs may also include vaccination against bacteria such as Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida, which cause bovine respiratory disease (BRD). It is important to recognize that this is not a comprehensive list, and specific vaccine decisions should be made in consultation with the herd veterinarian. The vaccination programs of calves that will be developed to become replacement heifers also commonly include vaccination against reproductive diseases and should be similar to the vaccine program used for the mature cow herd. In addition to IBR and BVD, and depending upon local disease risk, vaccination against Brucella, Leptospira, Vibrio, Trichomonas, Campylobacter , or anthrax may also be warranted or recommended. Brucellosis vaccination must be performed according to state regulations. Modified live vaccines for IBR and BVD give the broadest immunity to strain differences and should be administered twice to ensure a high level of immunity. Some evidence suggests that MLV BVD and IBR vaccines may affect the ovary for a short period of time after vaccination and potentially result in a minor decrease in fertility when administered immediately before or during the breeding season. For this reason, MLV IBR and/or BVD vaccines should be administered at least 1 month before the beginning of the breeding season. While vaccination of heifers with Trichomonas vaccine may increase calving rate and decrease the duration of infection in infected herds, it is important to recognize that it may not prevent infection. Vaccination against trichomoniasis may be useful in infected herds or in herds at high risk of infection, but may not yield a positive return on investment in low-risk herds. These decisions should be made in consultation with the herd veterinarian and should be based upon risk of exposure and potential economic impact. Pre Breeding vaccinations should be completed at least 4 weeks before the onset of the breeding season. Pre Calving vaccinations are intended to protect the newborn calf through colostral transfer. It may be possible for pre calving vaccinations to serve as effective pre breeding vaccinations; however, it is important to ensure that the vaccination program will provide sufficient duration of immunity to cover cattle throughout the time of greatest risk. In addition, vaccination against bacterial scours (calf diarrhea) can be a beneficial component of a herd health program. Bulls should receive the same vaccines as the cow herd, with some exceptions. Bulls should not be vaccinated for brucellosis. Similar precautions with MLV IBR vaccines should be taken for bulls as for cows. COW COUNTRY NEWS U.S Lawmakers, Cattlemen Seek Ban On Paraguayan Beef Imports U.S. Senators Jon Tester from Montana and Mike Rounds from South Dakota on Monday filed a Congressional Review Act that would overturn USDA's removal of a long-standing ban on beef imports from Paraguay. Congress may use a Congressional Review Act to overturn final rules issued by federal agencies by a simple majority vote. The move is supported by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, United States Cattlemen's Association, R-CALF USA, Livestock Marketing Association, National Farmers Union, Montana Farmers Union, Montana Stockgrowers Association, and the Montana Farm Bureau Federation.  Opponents to the Biden administration's decision to allow beef imports from Paraguay argue it is based on outdated inspections, without recent visits to confirm no risk of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).   Tester and Rounds also introduced bipartisan legislation late last year to suspend beef imports from Paraguay in response to such animal health concerns. That bill would also require the establishment of a working group to evaluate the threat to food safety and animal health posed by Paraguayan beef. The two senators have called on the USDA to collect more up-to-date data before resuming beef imports from Paraguay, whose last case of Foot and Mouth Disease occurred in 2012. Also last year, Tester and Rounds introduced bipartisan legislation to suspend Brazilian beef imports to the U.S. until experts can conduct a systemic review of the commodity's impact on food safety and animal health.   The American Farmer Continues To Grow Older The American Farmer continues to grow older. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service announced the results of the 2022 Census of Agriculture, spanning more than 6 million data points about America's farms and ranches. The average American farmer is now 58.1 years old, which is an increase of about half a year compared to the last census conducted in 2017. Farmers who are 65 and older increased by 12% in this census, while farmers aged 35-64 decreased by 9%. There were 1.9 million farms and ranches, down 7% from 2017, with an average size of 463 acres.  That is up 5% on 880 million acres of farmland, which is 39% of all U.S. land. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack asks “This survey is essentially asking the critical question of whether as a country are we okay with losing that many farms? Are we okay with losing that much farmland or is there a better way? That's the importance of this survey. It allows us to take a snapshot in time, allows us to compare what has occurred over the five-year period, and begins to ask ourselves questions about the policy formation and the direction that we need to take in order to correct or deal with some of the challenges that the data presents.” Ag census data provides a valuable insight into demographics, economics, land use and activities on United States farms and ranches.

In a congruency review, the primary objective is to ensure alignment across various elements in clinical research. The initial crucial step involves accurately analyzing Medicare coverage, determining designations based on National and Local Coverage Determinations. This forms the foundation for what is billed to the study sponsor and insurance. Any discrepancies at this stage can lead to downstream errors.Following the coverage analysis, it becomes imperative to align the calendar with the protocol's schedule of events and the designated elements from the coverage analysis. Once the calendar is established, the focus shifts to the budget negotiation phase. Multiple touchpoints during budget negotiations necessitate periodic checks to confirm alignment with the calendar and coverage analysis designations.On the contractual side, congruency revolves around matching the contract and budget provisions. This involves verifying that payment terms and the final budget in the contract align with the negotiated terms. Another critical aspect is ensuring congruency between the informed consent and the contract, specifically focusing on subject injury language. Standardized language for subject injury in both the informed consent and contract streamlines the congruency process. Deviations from these standards trigger communication between those handling the informed consent and contract to ensure alignment. This meticulous congruency review safeguards against discrepancies and ensures a seamless process in clinical research.

(1/29/24) Markets look to wrap up January on an upward trend, but this week's FOMC meeting could affect that slope. the problem w economic data on the surface: Increasing GDP growth by adding debt. Who will provide the best policy mix to create stronger growth? Markets continue to rally as lowered earnings estimates and bigger beats provide support. Deviations from averages are difficult to maintain; look for market correction in the weaker month of February. Mega-cap companies are set to report this week and may sell-off. The myth of cash on the sidelines: Where does that money come from? Credit markets & the Federal Reserve: What could happen as more and more Americans own stocks? Buying Blue Chips cheap: the price we're willing to pay has accelerated (watch for article this week on "The Theory of Reflexivity). The Fed is a market manipulator par excellence; there will be payback eventually. You cannot run an economy on monetary manipulation & debt expansion.

In this episode of The Daily Dental Podcast, your host delves into the concept of the ideal hygiene percentage in dental practices. The average benchmark is set at 25% of total production, reflecting the contribution of hygienists to overall practice performance. Deviations from this norm may indicate various dynamics within the practice. A higher hygiene percentage, around 30%, could signify a robust hygiene department or a less productive dentist. Conversely, a lower percentage (10-15%) may be acceptable if the dentist excels in specific areas like surgery, without implying underperformance by hygienists. Dr. Addison Killeen also introduces the "3.3 times their wage" rule, emphasizing the importance of hygienists collecting at least 3.3 times their hourly wage for optimal practice profitability.

In this episode, Female Hormones, we jump in and look at all aspects surrounding these wonderful hormones.Estrogens and Progesterone are often the only discussed female hormones but testosterone, pregnenolone, dhea-s all play a vital role in female hormone health. Female Hormones provide a great physiological benefit, from supporting tissues for growth and repair to neurological health and protection.In this episode we touch on the main female hormones, what is a "normal" monthly pattern so we can better understand deviations away from normal and empower our listeners to be strong advocates for their health when it comes to hormones. This also starts with testing and understanding when you test your hormones, the type of testing you do and how these factors can massively impact the clinical insight you get. We also touch on why you may miss or get insufficient information if you do not test at the proper window during your cycle.There is also a reason this episode follows our conversation on "detox" and biotransformation. This is because these detox pathways can also be influenced by hormones like estrogen as well as the ability to detox can also impact how hormones are processed and safely eliminated out of the body. The brain and gut serve vital roles in how we eliminate hormones and are often overlooked and need to be part of the conversation in overall hormone health.We also touch on nutrigenomics, the study of individual genetic differences, and how these can factor into overall hormone health as well as considerations that can be taken to investigate how to offset these factors. Single Nucleotide polymorphisms, aka SNP's, are important considerations to round out a thorough assessment for one's female hormone health as well as neurological health.We hope you enjoy this conversation into female hormones and everything in between. We encourage you to let us know if there are other topics or questions you have that you would like us to discuss as we would be happy to address those.And again, this is purely to be informative and not taken as medical advice. If you have medical or health issues please seek help from your provider.Until next time!The Team at Health, Wealth and The Ultimate Self!

Scott Belsky - Chief Strategy Officer, Adobe Every organization has a culture–whether it be a family, a company, or even a sports team. Most of the time, there's an unspoken assumption that people on the team will share a set of attributes and values. Over time, this can lead to a homogenizing effect–also known as groupthink. Deviations become less frequent, because they disrupt the balance. But in our ever-changing world, is that really what we want? Our guest today has spent years building cultures, teams, and platforms with a singular focus: giving new ideas the oxygen they need. He'll help us reflect on the question:   How can we protect creative thinking? A conversation with Scott Belsky, on this episode of Lead With a Question.

In this episode we have my good friend Nelson Sierra join us on CO2 Mondays. Nelson has developed a tool for Troubleshooting any refrigeration system with artificial intelligence (AI).  It involves utilizing advanced algorithms and data analytics to diagnose and resolve system issues. He also share with us how he developed the AI tool and how it will help you as a technician troubleshoot better and faster. For end users it will reduce downtime and help you be more proactive in your service and replacement of equipment.  Here's a general overview of how this device can be used for troubleshooting: Real-time Data Collection: This device will use AI-enabled sensors and monitoring devices and collect real-time data from the compressor in the refrigeration system, such as temperature sensors, pressure transducers, current and volt meters. This data is continuously fed into the AI system. Anomaly Detection: AI algorithms analyze the collected data to establish normal operating patterns and establish baseline performance parameters for the refrigeration system. Deviations from these baselines are flagged as anomalies, indicating potential system issues or malfunctions. Fault Diagnosis: When an anomaly is detected, AI algorithms analyze the data further to identify the root cause of the issue. By comparing the current data patterns with historical data and known fault profiles, the AI system can suggest probable causes for the anomaly. Predictive Maintenance: the AI algorithms can also predict and anticipate future system faults based on historical data and pattern recognition. By identifying early warning signs, the AI system can schedule proactive maintenance or repairs to prevent equipment failure or system breakdowns. Troubleshooting Recommendations: Once the AI system has diagnosed the issue, it can provide troubleshooting recommendations to address the problem. These recommendations can range from simple adjustments to complex repairs, guiding technicians on the necessary steps to rectify the problem efficiently. As Nelson mention it's important to note that AI-assisted troubleshooting is not meant to replace human expertise but rather to augment it. Technicians still play a crucial role in interpreting AI-generated recommendations, performing repairs, and ensuring the proper functioning of the refrigeration system. By leveraging AI for troubleshooting, organizations can benefit from faster and more accurate fault detection, reduced downtime, proactive maintenance scheduling, and improved overall system performance.

Deviations from true faith have been common throughout the history of the Lord's people. To commit apostacy is to turn away from following the Lord. False teachers and those who fall away from the faith will appear in all eras of the church. There will always be those who make a temporary response to the gospel, but have no genuine faith in God. We should not be surprised when they leave, and should remember the words of John in 1 John 2:19: “They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.”

In this episode, I talk about tiny deviations.

Daily Word  I am a strong believer of staying focused and not deviating from your calling, because focused pursuits over time bring success. Whereas, deviations from your path slow down your calling to a standstill. However, we also have Holy Spirit inside us who knows how to navigate the ups and downs of a calling. This means that there may be seasons when Holy Spirit will direct you to take an anointed deviation that may appear to break your focus. The difference between an anointed deviation verses a self-appointed deviation is that an anointed deviation does not slow down the success of your calling. It will compliment it.
