What do you do when you lose something you love?Whether it's a loved one, financial stability, a meaningful opportunity, your sense of peace, or even something as simple as a treasured possession, loss has a way of leaving us feeling helpless.In this powerful reminder, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares a personal story about having his bicycle stolen while studying overseas and the life-changing lesson he learned from a fellow student who responded differently to a similar loss. Through a beautiful Prophetic Dua, he uncovers a promise from Allah سبحانه وتعالى that many believers overlook during difficult times.Drawing on authentic teachings from the Sunnah, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) explains why patience during hardship is so beloved to Allah, how believers are rewarded for the things they lose, and why every loss carries the possibility of something better.In this episode, you'll learn:* The Prophetic Dua to say when you experience a loss or calamity* Why patience can transform hardship into reward* The promise Allah makes to those who seek His reward during difficult times* How to view loss through the lens of faith and trust in Allah* A practical exercise to help you surrender your worries and losses to AllahSometimes the things we lose open the door to blessings we could never have imagined.Tune in to discover how one simple Dua can change the way you experience loss and strengthen your trust in Allah's plan.

Taylor Swift has been dropping Easter eggs so wild they've broken the internet, so we're unpacking every clue pointing to a secret Toy Story 5 song, why the TS billboards with 13 clouds are so hard to ignore, and what an Oscar-hungry Swift would stand to gain from it all.Plus, Olivia Rodrigo is on her press tour and a journalist tried to sneak in a very spicy question about her Taylor Swift feud. She didn't deny it. We're getting into what actually happened behind the scenes with those songwriting credits, and what Olivia's been quietly signalling ever since.And Dua Lipa just had the chicest little London wedding — Schiaparelli suit, wide-brimmed hat, poppies — and it's only the legal one. We're debating the celebrity two-wedding trend as well as that viral Callum Turner "my lips are only for Dua" rumour that caused fans to spiral.

Podcast: Don't Panic! It's Just DataGuest: Michael Marolda, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Agentic RAG at Progress SoftwareHost: Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360TechGenerative AI has been brewing in the enterprise tech industry for at least three years now. AI pilots are launching every other day, internal copilots are deployed across enterprise divisions, and now teams themselves are experimenting with large language models (LLMs) to automate business workflows. Such additions have sped up research and notably improved productivity.While the excitement is valid, the truth beneath is often disregarded. Many enterprise AI systems produce answers that sound convincing, even when they are completely wrong.In the recent episode of the Don't Panic! It's Just Data podcast, Michael Marolda, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Agentic RAG at Progress Software, sat down with host Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360Tech.Marolda argued that the problem is not necessarily with the AI models themselves. The real issue is with the enterprise data foundations supporting them.“Your AI is only as good as the knowledge it has access to,” Marolda explained during the conversation. The question is what the gap is alluded to in the AI enterprise tech space.Also Read: Build vs. Buy: The Reality of Production-Grade RAGWhat's the Hidden Risk Costing Enterprises?According to Marolda, around 80 per cent of enterprise data remains unstructured. This includes PDFs, contracts, emails, audio files, presentations, scanned documents, videos, and handwritten notes. This is the kind of information that traditional AI systems struggle to process reliably.While enterprises are heavily investing in AI infrastructure and model testing, many still do not have systems capable of organising, retrieving, and validating this scattered knowledge. The outcome often turns into a situation where AI tools begin to generate responses without the necessary business context, despite excellent prompt engineering.“We've seen enterprises rush into AI implementations,” Marolda said. “But many pilots fail to scale because the information isn't grounded in real business data.” It ultimately poses major operational risks for companies, especially in highly regulated industries.During the podcast, Marolda mentioned a high-profile case involving an airline chatbot that provided customers with incorrect policy information, leading to legal consequences for the company. The issue was not due to malicious intent or a technical failure at the model level — it was due to unreliable data grounding.For enterprises using AI in customer service, HR, legal operations, finance, or internal knowledge systems, such errors are not rare. In fact, they've become a governance issue.Is Modern RAG the Solution?Enterprises tend to rely on data lakes as centralised storage for vast amounts of information. However, Marolda makes a point about how storage is no longer enough in the age of AI. “A data lake is just cheap storage,” he explained. “A knowledge layer is what actually activates that information for AI.”This difference is increasingly important as enterprises move from testing to operational AI deployment. Traditional storage systems can hold documents, but they cannot interpret relationships between data points, retrieve context semantically, or validate AI-generated outputs against source material.An enterprise knowledge layer, on the other hand, is designed to fill that gap. Marolda tells Dua that modern retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems can process unstructured data, apply optical character recognition (OCR), convert speech to text from video and audio, and build semantic connections across enterprise content.This enables AI systems to retrieve not just documents, but highly specific pieces of contextual information, including paragraph-level citations and timestamped video references.For enterprise leaders, the implications are significant. Rather than viewing AI as a separate assistant, enterprises are increasingly seeing AI as a retrieval and reasoning layer built on top of their knowledge ecosystems.How Should Enterprises Prioritise Efficiency Over Hype?The economics of AI was a critical discussion Marolda had with Dua. He noted that while many AI providers continue to push for higher token consumption and larger workloads, enterprises such as Progress Software are now beginning to value efficiency instead.Unlike NVIDIA's enterprise philosophy, as proposed by its CEO Jensen Huang, is a new compensation model where engineers receive annual AI token budgets worth half their base salary on top of regular pay. During a live interview on the All-In Podcast, recorded in San Jose, California, in March 2026 at Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference (GTC), Huang stated: "If a $500,000 Engineer Did Not Consume At Least $250,000 Worth of Tokens, I'm Going To Be Deeply Alarmed."“We're actually trying to reduce token consumption,” he explained. Such an approach contrasts with broader industry trends focused on maximising AI use at scale. As enterprise AI budgets become more established, CIOs and CFOs are scrutinising infrastructure costs, energy consumption, and long-term operational sustainability.It's particularly relevant as enterprises pit multiple LLMs against each other for quality, relevance, and cost efficiency. According to Progress's Sr. Product Marketing Manager, the next phase of enterprise AI adoption won't be driven by model capability alone. It will be guided by practical governance, meaning identifying which systems produce the best results at reasonable costs.Overall, successful AI adoption is not just about selecting the right model but, in fact, pivoting towards building the right knowledge architecture.For instance, enterprises continue to invest in generative AI; the enterprises that thrive may be the ones that can effectively structure, govern, retrieve, and validate their institutional knowledge.Key TakeawaysEnterprise AI hallucinations increase without grounded enterprise data.Agentic RAG helps enterprises reduce AI hallucinations and improve accuracy.Unstructured data is the biggest challenge in enterprise AI adoption.Enterprise knowledge layers improve AI governance and traceability.AI token reduction lowers enterprise AI infrastructure costs.RAG architecture helps enterprises scale trustworthy AI systems.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Enterprise AI and Knowledge Layer02:13 Challenges with Unstructured Data in AI08:11 The Importance of a Knowledge Layer12:04 Trust and Governance in AI Solutions16:48 Progress's Unique Approach to AI Solutions19:15 Agentic RAG: A New Paradigm in AI Retrieval24:52 Real-World Applications of Agentic RAG26:39 Maintaining Quality and Performance in AI Systems28:01 Key Takeaways for IT Decision MakersFor more enterprise AI, Agentic RAG, data governance, and enterprise knowledge layer insights, follow Progress Software across its official channels:Website: Progress SoftwareYouTube: @ProgressSWLinkedIn: Progress SoftwareX: @ProgressSWFor more

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 12 Mei 2026Bacaan: "Mudah-mudahan Engkau berkenan akan ucapan mulutku dan renungan hatiku, ya TUHAN, gunung batuku dan penebusku." (Mazmur 19:15)Renungan: Setelah John. D. Rockefeller, pendiri Standard Oil, menemui tamu di kantornya, ia akan mengantar mereka hingga ke depan lift. Saat para tamu akan naik lift, seorang tak dikenal dengan penampilan lugu ikut masuk ke lift itu. la ikut turun dengan mereka dan menyeberang jalan bersama mereka. Setelah para tamu Rockefeller masuk mobil dan pergi, orang berpenampilan lugu itu kembali masuk ke gedung Rockefeller dan melaporkan dengan detail apa yang dikatakan para tamu selama di lift tadi. Ya, Rockefeller sudah punya "CCTV" dan "penyadap" sebelum teknologi tersebut dibuat. Rockefeller harus mengutus seseorang untuk memata-matai tamunya. Kita kini memakai teknologi untuk melakukannya. Namun, tanpa semua itu, Tuhan sudah mengetahui segala yang kita lakukan di tempat tersembunyi. la bahkan tahu apa yang kita pikirkan. Ada satu waktu ketika dua kakak Musa, Miryam dan Harun menggosipkan tentang Musa. Mulai soal istrinya yang bukan seorang Ibrani, merembet menjadi mempertanyakan tentang otoritas sang adik (benarkah Tuhan hanya berfirman melalui Musa saja, karena Tuhan juga pernah berfirman melalui Harun dan Miryam). Alkitab mencatat dengan jelas, "..kedengaranlah hal itu kepada TUHAN" (ay. 2). Miriam dan Harun mungkin berpikir hanya mereka berdua yang tahu pembicaraan itu, tapi kita bisa lihat bagaimana Tuhan tidak tinggal diam saat hamba-Nya difitnah dan digosipkan sembarangan. Ingatlah hal ini sebelum kita bergosip atau memikirkan hal-hal buruk tentang orang lain. Ingat bahwa Tuhan tahu apa yang kita katakan dan pikirkan. Kiranya ucapan, pikiran, dan perbuatan kita selalu berkenan di mata Tuhan (Mzm. 19:15). Biarlah semua yang benar, mulia, adil, suci, manis, sedap didengar, semua yang disebut kebajikan dan patut dipuji saja yang kita pikirkan (Flp. 4:8). Dua, kisah ini juga mengingatkan kita yang mungkin sering digosipkan bahkan menjadi korban fitnah, meski kita tak bersalah. Percayalah, Tuhan tidak akan membiarkan orang benar menderita. Tak perlu memikirkan cara membalas karena pada waktunya, Tuhan sendiri yang akan membela kita. Belajar dari kisah ini, biarlah kita bisa selalu menjaga sikap hati, pikiran, perbuatan, dan ucapan kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, urapilah mulut dan perkataanku, sehingga dijauhkan dariku perkataan negatif dan gosip yang dapat melukai hati orang lain. Amin. (Dod).
Ophthalmologists are realizing that for lamellar corneal transplantation, PDEK (Pre-Descemet's Endothelial Keratoplasty) is better than DMEK, which is better than DSEK. I enjoyed a lecture from Dr Dinh Thi Hoang Anh from Viet Nam and Dr Yury Kalinnikov from Russia where they taught the nuances to ensure success with PDEK. Because it uses Dua's layer, PDEK provides significantly greater structural integrity than the delicate Descemet's membrane used in DMEK. This added toughness simplifies tissue handling and prevents the frequent tearing seen in DMEK. Furthermore, PDEK allows for easier graft centration and unfolding, reducing surgical time while maintaining excellent visual outcomes.We feature a new podcast every week on Sundays and they are uploaded to all major podcast services (click links here: Apple, Google, Spotify) for enjoying as you drive to work or exercise. The full video of the podcast is here on CataractCoach as well as on our YouTube channel. Starting now we have sponsorship opportunities available for the top podcast in all of ophthalmology.
