What happens when people “fear the Lord” in a healthy way? Explore how this can lead to wisdom and relationship with God!Receive The Bible's wisdom books remind us again and again that the fear of the Lord is where real wisdom begins—and that's the kind of wisdom we need for everyday life. From big decisions to ordinary moments, we all need God's perspective to help us navigate what's in front of us. Proverbs offers that wisdom with a hopeful, “glass half-full” lens, giving practical guidance for daily choices. Ecclesiastes meets us in the tension, naming life's frustrations and uncertainties with a more “glass half-empty” honesty. And Job takes us deeper, showing that a healthy fear of the Lord isn't about being afraid—it's about being drawn into a real, trusting relationship with God as we learn to revere all of who He is, even when life doesn't make sense.  Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Proverbs 1:5 Proverbs 24:5 Ecclesiastes 1:18 Proverbs 24:3-4 Ecclesiastes 2:20-21 Ecclesiastes 9:11 Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Job Psalm 22:22-24 Psalm 19:7-10 Psalm 25:8-14 Would you say you identify more with the “glass half-full" approach to wisdom in Proverbs, or the “glass half-empty" approach of Ecclesiastes? Job's story demonstrates that fearing God is relational and not transactional (see Job 1:9). Why is it important to fear God for who He is and not for what He does? How does this type of reverent fear strengthen your relationship with God? God assured Job of His power and presence and unlimited perspective. How did this help Job have a healthy fear of God (see Job 42:1-6)? How can this help you have a healthy fear of God? Fear of the Lord invites you into a deeper relationship with Him (see Psalm 25:14). How can that help you live wisely today?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me have a healthy fear of God that allows me to live with wisdom throughout my life. Enable me to revere God for who He is and not for what He does so that I may deepen my relationship with You. Open my eyes to see more clearly the wonder and awe of who You are.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Ecclesiastes | Week 1  Ecclesiastes | Week 2  Our Daily Bread Mobile App  Listen: Proverbial Wisdom  A Life of Wisdom and the Proverbs 31 Woman  Read: Reverent Fear  Understanding the Bible: The Wisdom Books  Watch: Mount Arbel - Sermon on the Mount and the Great Commission

As the industry moves toward a predicted $300 billion partner opportunity by 2030, this discussion deconstructs the evolution of the “Frontier” vision, the launch of the AI apps and agents category, and the critical “Resale Enabled Offer” (REO) that is currently doubling deal sizes for early adopters. Whether you are a software company looking to scale globally or a reseller aiming to stitch together complex AI solutions, the message is clear: the flywheel is already spinning, and those who wait for a “perfect strategy” risk being permanently displaced by more agile competitors who are getting their feet wet today. Key Takeaways The Microsoft Marketplace has been reimagined into a single destination for discovering, buying, and deploying AI apps and agents. Analysts predict a staggering $300 billion opportunity for partners within the Microsoft Marketplace by 2030. The new Resale Enabled Offer (REO) allows software companies to authorize channel partners to resell on their behalf across specific geographies with minimal overhead. Cloud migration is far from over, as massive amounts of on-premise data and ISV apps still need to be modernized for the AI era. Marketplace deal sizes are doubling as customers use Azure commitments to retire their marketplace acquisition costs. Successful partners are moving away from “boiling the ocean” strategies and instead focusing on transacting one or two deals to learn the ecosystem’s mechanics. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins. Key Tags: Microsoft Marketplace, AI apps and agents, Resale Enabled Offer, REO, Cyril Belikoff, Azure Marketplace, AppSource, cloud solutions, software companies, digital transformation, AI strategy, channel led sales, ISV solutions, cloud migration, Azure commitments, Microsoft Cloud, Frontier vision, MSP opportunity, marketplace transacting, AI monetization, global scale, procurement, IT deployment, technical modernization, partner ecosystem, business applications. Opening Lines: [00:00:00] Cyril Belikoff: Marketplace is really the extension of our vision for Frontier, uh, and the Microsoft Cloud. You know, the, the Microsoft technology takes a customer a long way, but in many ways to complete the thought. If you’re in football terms, you want to cross over the line and score touchdown. You can’t just get, uh, to the red zone. [00:00:20] Cyril Belikoff: You actually need partner solutions. [00:00:26] Vince Menzione: So let’s, let’s kick off to Marketplace a little bit right, too, because, uh, it’s been a big year for Marketplace, or 20, the first half of 2026 fiscal year 2026 has been a big year. A lot of announcements, a lot of things going on in the world, in marketplace. Where do we wanna start there? Let’s recap some of it. [00:00:44] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Um, so, um. It feels like a long time ago, but in, at the end of September, [00:00:51] Vince Menzione: yeah. [00:00:52] Cyril Belikoff: Um, at the AR tour, uh, in Chicago, we announced a new Microsoft marketplace. We reimagined that experience. It’s a new customer experience, single destination for customers to. You know, discover, find, try, buy, and deploy cloud solutions, AI apps and agents all in one place. [00:01:11] Cyril Belikoff: And so historically, we’ve had a little bit, uh, of decentralization. We had this thing called the Azure Marketplace and AppSource for different experiences. AppSource was more for teams and, and copilot. Um, and, and office, Azure Marketplace. Of course, that was for Azure. We brought all of that into one place. [00:01:30] Cyril Belikoff: So customers, whether they are looking for a SaaS solution running on Azure, an agent that snaps into copilot, an experience that runs in our security store, now they can go to one place. Um. marketplace.microsoft.com. It’s one, it’s the new Microsoft marketplace. And we have an, of course, we have a, we had, we launched a brand new category, AI apps and agents, and we launched that category in September. [00:01:54] Cyril Belikoff: Uh, bringing together numerous, uh, uh, partner offerings. Yeah. And today we have the largest catalog, um, probably in the mid four thousands of AI and agents. Wow. Available to customer. So fantastic. There was, there was quite a big moment in September. Um, and then fast forward a little bit to November, we announced a resale enabled offer, um, at Ignite [00:02:15] Vince Menzione: eo. [00:02:16] Vince Menzione: Eo [00:02:16] Cyril Belikoff: eo. I, [00:02:17] Vince Menzione: I like EO reminds me of the band back in the day. [00:02:19] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. R Speedwagon. There you go. Uh, well, and it’s, it’s not that far from it because Oreo accelerates. Yeah. Um, what partners can do, uh, with the marketplace and really connects. Software companies and resellers, which I’m sure we’ll talk about in a second. [00:02:34] Cyril Belikoff: But that’s really the recap, um, of, uh, you know, the new Microsoft marketplace, how we enabling it for, uh, for partners through the the resell enable offer. [00:02:45] Vince Menzione: So, I know we talked on this a little bit, but I wanna maybe just expand on it. What does the frontier push and the marketplace evolution mean for partners? [00:02:53] Vince Menzione: Because I, I think it’s huge for both, for these partners to really monetize and accelerate their success working with you. [00:03:00] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. So, um. Marketplace is really the extension of our vision for Frontier, uh, and the Microsoft Cloud. You know, the, the Microsoft technology takes a customer a long way, but in many ways to complete the thought and to, you know, uh, uh. [00:03:20] Cyril Belikoff: If you’re in football terms, you wanna cross over the line and score a touchdown, you can’t just get, uh, to the red zone. You actually need partner solutions. [00:03:28] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:03:29] Cyril Belikoff: Uh, and so that’s where the partner solutions, combined with Microsoft’s first party offerings become a really, really. Great offering and powerful offering for our customers to, to become Frontier. [00:03:40] Cyril Belikoff: So we have obviously a ton of AI experiences, our own co-pilot experiences, uh, Microsoft Foundry, which is a platform for ai, but in, in many ways, we need those industry solutions. We need those AI apps and agents from partners to complete that offering. And that’s really. How it comes together and, uh, you know, uh, I heard you from o was just on before me. [00:04:01] Cyril Belikoff: They actually predict that the Microsoft marketplace, uh, is a 300 billion partner opportunity by 2030. Yeah, they’re talking about, I think, mid eighties growth. We have literally seen our business for the last three years, and we are in the middle of our, uh, you know, third year doubling. And so when you get three or four years of doubling every year, that’s compounded doubling. [00:04:24] Cyril Belikoff: Um, so, uh, we have seen lots of momentum from customers, lots of interest. We’ve made it, you know. Interesting for customers. Um, and incentivize our customers with their Azure commitments that can retire their marketplace, uh, acquisitions that way. We’ve made it, we’ve put incentives for partners and for our own sellers. [00:04:44] Cyril Belikoff: So we really creating the flywheel for everybody in the market to see value from, uh, the marketplace. So. Like, like, like you mentioned, like m the, uh, you know, suggested [00:04:55] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:04:55] Cyril Belikoff: It’s only exploding the opportunity on marketplace. [00:04:58] Vince Menzione: Well, and you both touched on the fact that the data is not in the cloud yet. [00:05:02] Vince Menzione: Not all the data that needs to be in the cloud in order to drive the future of where we wanna go from a society. Mm-hmm. And from a business application perspective needs to be in the cloud. So huge opportunities for partners around data states, around securing that data, governing that data, and so on, on top of all the business applications, [00:05:19] Cyril Belikoff: right? [00:05:19] Vince Menzione: As promise. So incredible. Yep. So let’s [00:05:22] Cyril Belikoff: talk about, yeah. The call migration. The call migration, people think that is over and it’s long from over because customers have plenty, uh, on premise, uh, not only Microsoft technology, but the, the, the, the software company or the ISV app that sits on top of it. Yeah. [00:05:36] Cyril Belikoff: And that needs to be migrated, managed, modernized, um, and marketplace is a big part of that too. Um, but there’s so many services and, um, opportunities around it. [00:05:45] Vince Menzione: Incredible opportunity. Let’s talk about the channel and the channel opportunity. You, you touched on this earlier, right? So this really lighting up the channel. [00:05:53] Vince Menzione: I saw this loud and clear when we were at Ignite. Like this is a huge opportunity for the Es, for the resellers, for all the partners. And as part of REO, you’ve got huge opportunities you’re laying out for them for the 500,000 part partners. You know, we talk about the Bill Gates moment down here in Boca. [00:06:09] Vince Menzione: This is where it all started. Uh, yep. How, how do you think about marketplace in the channel today? [00:06:16] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. You know, it’s, um, it’s vital. You know, we have a customer need, um, from. The smallest is small business all the way to enterprise. And the really, the only way we serve that, the only way we know how to serve that is with our partners from the largest of partners that serve our top enterprises down through, um, what we call small and medium and then down to our small business. [00:06:41] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:06:41] Cyril Belikoff: Um, and so, you know, we have seen our. You know, while our, we’ve seen a doubling of our business, we’ve seen three, three and a half to four x doubling of our channel led sales. [00:06:53] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:06:54] Cyril Belikoff: Um, over the last year. And so while our overall business is doubling, channel is accelerating even, you know, even more. [00:07:02] Cyril Belikoff: And so there, there’s a need from our customers because they buy from our channel and there’s obviously a need from the channel. And so we created this resale enabled offer. As you mentioned, we, um. We announced private preview in September and launched GA at Ignite. So, you know, uh, November, just before Thanksgiving holiday and retail Enable offer is all about scale and how we connect a, a, an independent software vendor or a software company. [00:07:27] Cyril Belikoff: To authorize a channel partner to resell on their behalf on a particular geography. And then that allows software companies to expand into new markets with very little overhead. And it allows the channel partners to create a set of offerings, not only from one partner, but you might have multiple software companies or applications that you stitch that are together to create an end-to-end customer offering or experience. [00:07:51] Cyril Belikoff: And so we are seeing, we are seeing many to many relationships. So software companies might authorize many resellers, many markets they’re in, for example. Yep. And then resellers, um, they’re, they’re becoming authorized resellers from many software companies so that they can really stitch together, end into end solution. [00:08:09] Cyril Belikoff: And it, we’re loving it and we are getting great feedback. It is early days for our global availability for, uh, re office, which. But we had partners that were literally waiting, um, uh, and waiting for deals. And within the first week there was, they were, uh, processing the, the Oreo deals at, at, at quite large scale already. [00:08:31] Cyril Belikoff: So. We are excited about the feedback that we’re getting. We, as you know, we, we stay close to that feedback and we listen well, um, and adjust from it. So we got more work to do, but, um, it’s a great opportunity for, to connect our, our multiple types of partners, software companies, and resellers. [00:08:48] Vince Menzione: Yeah, I agree. [00:08:49] Vince Menzione: And you know, I talk to a lot of these organizations myself, and there is palpable excitement. In the channel from Distees that were sort of disengaged a couple of years ago, maybe, trying to figure out where they were gonna monetize. And the other way area that’s aligned to this as well is the Ms. P community. [00:09:06] Vince Menzione: So these MSPs are getting bigger and bigger, and organizations like Accenture, Avanade, and ndl. Or becoming MSPs or creating Ms. P practices within their own firms. But there’s even these smaller MSPs, but many of ’em are getting to a billion dollars or more. These were little mom and pop companies years ago, but the customer so needs to have, you know, especially with ai, right? [00:09:27] Vince Menzione: Because we’re in a constant state of evolution right now. I need somebody that can help me on the tooling and then also help me on, you know, getting the tooling to work. And so, uh, we’re seeing a lot of excitement from that. Community, which wasn’t really as engaged with Microsoft the way they that they are now. [00:09:43] Vince Menzione: They’re really getting engaged in a big way. [00:09:46] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah, it’s promising. Like you say, you know, the, the, we’re all learning this new AI world and obviously marketplace has taken off. We’ve had the classic SaaS solutions or cloud solutions on marketplace for a while, but really un having the local partner that’s close to the customer, what the customer’s trying to need to do and be able to connect the, the traditional. [00:10:07] Cyril Belikoff: Software as a service applications with these new AI experiences and really, uh, stitch them together and help them operationalize, you know, in their own, you know, cus in their own terms and what they’re trying to, uh, do is so important. You know, um, and to your point there, there are large, they’re the large ones that are seeing opportunity on the marketplace. [00:10:27] Cyril Belikoff: But the, you know, when you get down to, uh, medium and smaller businesses, they really need their local friendly resetter to help them. [00:10:35] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:10:35] Cyril Belikoff: Uh, so you’re right. We are seeing an, a new en energy engagement from not only our existing 500,000 partners, but a bunch of those new ones. [00:10:44] Vince Menzione: So, uh, again, second week of 2026, and people are really just starting to wake up from the holidays. [00:10:50] Vince Menzione: Now they’re getting ready for their s ks. All these partners are lining up and getting their teams aligned. Uh, you’re in front of them. Let’s have a conversation like what should they be doing better and differently? What do they need to go do now? It’s 2026. [00:11:06] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Um, you know, first of all, if you’re a software company, you know, understand what the, the Microsoft marketplace can help you with, uh, can help you scale to global markets, remove burdens like tax, um, a processing, engaging with customers. [00:11:21] Cyril Belikoff: Um, we’re seeing an acceleration and doubling of, uh, not an acceleration deals, but doubling of deal sizes, as you know, through the marketplace. Uh, and there. It helps with engagement at different types of companies, whether it’s, or different types of, uh, roles in a company, whether it’s a, a procurement person or an IT person or a business person. [00:11:42] Cyril Belikoff: So, you know, get onto the marketplace, create offerings, um, and give us feedback. And then on the reseller side, um, also lots of opportunities, you know, register as, as a reseller, um, you know, understand the benefits and. The, the Azure sponsorships that we have available for you, that you can close deals with their, their, their credits and, and incentives that we provide to you. [00:12:06] Cyril Belikoff: And then figure out how you do your first deal with a software company. Um, yeah. You know, a lot of people will say like, should I have a big strategy? And Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you want to, that’s okay, but just getting into. Uh, the marketplace, figuring out one or two deals, transacting and seeing the opportunity is many ways the best way to do it and to learn it yourself. [00:12:28] Cyril Belikoff: And then you figure out, okay, where, where’s the opportunity for me in this deal? Am I in the transaction? Uh, am I in the services around the transaction or combination? Um, and just getting your feet wet will get you going and, and, uh, get you learning. [00:12:42] Vince Menzione: You know, I think about this in the, the time the partners are, they have this huge opportunity with Microsoft around marketplace and then thinking about how they build their own ecosystem. [00:12:52] Vince Menzione: And like you said, don’t, don’t try and boil the ocean, right. Don’t try and do it all at once. Mm-hmm. But start out small, but understand, you know, work with the Microsoft teams, understand how, how co-selling works, how to engage with the, with the Microsoft organization. How to, how to be up on marketplace, how to situationally. [00:13:09] Vince Menzione: You know, Jay and I were talking about this 28 moments and he talked about a deal that started out as an AWS deal, but it wound up a Microsoft deal because NTT and Software one were involved in the in the deal and influencing the customer’s decision process. Right working with Microsoft. And so we just need to be smarter, I think. [00:13:28] Vince Menzione: I think today it’s a very different model than it was 20 years ago when you and I got started in this business. Uh, yeah. And people just really need to go think about this more strategically in how they build this. [00:13:39] Cyril Belikoff: It’s great. I totally agree. Um, like I said, getting your feet wet, understanding the co-sell to your point and, and, and how Microsoft sells. [00:13:48] Cyril Belikoff: Um, and then understand what customers are trying to, you know, get, get, get out of it with their, their Azure commitments and how they can retire their Azure commitments through purchases on marketplace, which in sense them, um, to also work on the marketplace. So you, I think partners will find Microsoft sellers. [00:14:04] Cyril Belikoff: Own compensation, um, incentive to work. We’ll find that customers are incentive to transact on the marketplace. And so just enter that, you know, triangle and, and get engaged and, uh, and learn and then give us feedback. Like, like I’ve mentioned many times with you, we, uh, we take feedback every month from customers and partners in, in forums like this, um, in other forums, and then we evolve and, you know, build out, uh, stronger experiences. [00:14:31] Vince Menzione: Yeah. Cyril, I want to thank you again. So great to have you join us today and, uh, so excited to continue our, our mutual relationship and our beneficial relationship in 2026. So thank you again for everything you do and supporting us. [00:14:45] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Happy New Year to yourself and uh, and your community and, uh, thanks so much again. [00:14:50] Cyril Belikoff: Appreciate it. [00:14:50] Vince Menzione: Thank you, Cyril. The Ultimate Partner Winter Retreat is gonna be here in the Boca Studio. This is the third year that we’re gonna be here in Boca. This is always a favorite of our community members, our executive members, our sponsors and speakers. We’ll all be here in the studio, which is a really intimate setting. [00:15:12] Vince Menzione: We can see upwards of 40, 50 people. Uh, we’ll be hosting an incredible dinner at the Boca Resort overlooking the golf course. That’s an incredible property and, uh, we’d love to have you join us. Thank you for being part of the ultimate Partner community, and I hope to see you this year at one of our events. [00:15:30] Vince Menzione: Thank you.

At level 11, the Cleric stops being "the healer" and starts being "the department of cosmic corrections." Need a miracle? You've got it. Need a battlefield reorganized? Also you. Need the DM to quietly reconsider every encounter they prepped? Congratulations: you just prepared Heroes' Feast and learned that your god's job description includes "professional problem solver, part-time artillery, full-time vibe check." Welcome to Cleric 11–20, where your faith is strong, your spell list is irresponsible, and your party suddenly thinks every plan can be solved by "ask the Cleric." Show Notes Episode Overview In this episode of RPGBOT.Podcast, we break down how to build and play a D&D 5e Cleric from levels 11–20, where your character graduates from "durable support" to "divine Swiss Army catastrophe." We cover late-tier class features, high-level spell priorities, feat and gear considerations, and how to stay impactful when the game gets weird (and the monsters start having resumes). What Changes at Levels 11–20 Your spell slots get absurd: 6th–9th level spells aren't just stronger—they change what "a problem" even means. Channel Divinity becomes a resource-management minigame: It's no longer "use it when you remember." It's "use it to control the pace of encounters." Your role expands: You're still support… but also control, emergency reset button, and occasionally the party's primary win condition. Late-Tier Cleric Priorities (The "Don't Waste Your Turn" Checklist) Action economy matters more than ever: high-level combats punish "I guess I cast Cure Wounds." Concentration discipline: pick the concentration spell that wins the fight, then protect it like it owes you money. Defenses scale or you get deleted: AC, saves, and positioning keep your miracles online. High-Level Spell Picks That Define Your Cleric Rather than listing everything, we focus on categories of "spells that win sessions," and how to choose within them: Battlefield control & tempo (deny actions, reshape positioning, force bad choices) Pre-fight power (buffs that make the party feel like they're cheating) Hard counters & problem solvers (condition removal, anti-magic, planar nonsense) Clutch buttons (resets, revives, "nope" spells for when the DM smiles too confidently) Feats, Ability Scores, and "High-Level Practicality" When to cap Wisdom, when to take resilience/defensive feats, and when a utility feat is secretly the MVP. War Caster vs. Resilient (Con) (and why your table's encounter style decides this). The "I'm level 15 and still miss" problem: improving reliability via positioning, spell choice, and save targeting. Gear and Magic Items (What You Want and Why) We talk about item functions instead of shopping lists: Concentration protection Mobility and positioning Defensive layers (AC, saves, resistances) Spellcasting flexibility (extra casts, broadened options, panic buttons) Playing Cleric at Tier 4 Without Becoming a Solo Game High-level Clerics can accidentally steal the spotlight. We discuss: How to enable party hero moments while still being decisive When to solve the plot and when to support the plot How to coordinate with the DM so divine power feels epic, not adversarial Key Takeaways Tier 4 Clerics are not "healers," they're strategists. Healing keeps the party alive; control and prevention win fights. Your best turns usually aren't reactive. Preempt threats with positioning, concentration, and proactive tempo spells. Protect concentration like it's your hit points. You can lose the fight without losing HP if you drop the spell that mattered. Pick one job per encounter and do it violently well. Control, buff, counter, rescue—trying to do all of it in one round leads to "meh" turns. Your spell list is a toolbox—prep is gameplay. The difference between "good Cleric" and "legendary Cleric" is often made at dawn. Don't build only for peak moments. Tier 4 is swingy; build for reliability so you're useful even when the boss is immune to your favorite trick. You can be the party's win condition without being the party's main character. Enable your allies' big turns, then drop the miracle when it counts.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qADSFo0ab10 Joti Brar: Last week I spoke with Nick Cruse of the Revolutionary Blackout Network (RBN) about the USA's regime-change operation in Iran. What is its true content? How should we understand those on the self-identifying ‘left' who are voicing support for allegedly ‘peaceful, pro-democracy protestors' and denouncing ‘regime violence'? And what is the reality about the Islamic Revolution and Iran's role in the middle east and the wider world that we are not being told? We also talked about the role of social democracy (the Labour party in Britain) in propping up imperialism and tying the working class in the west to their own exploiters via social chauvinism, bribery, and the cooptation of our mass movements. If we want to get free, we are going to have to recognise and remove these traitors in our midst. Subscribe! Donate!

The Paveway bomb, invented by Texas Instruments in the 1970s, was the first truly precise munition.  It revolutionized America's air campaign in Vietnam and allowed whole new kinds of “limited” U.S. wars in Libya, Iraq, Serbia, and beyond.But Paveway's true legacy was psychological: it seduced generations of U.S. leaders into believing that tactical precision creates strategic victories with few costs.Jeff Stern, an intrepid chronicler of modern conflict, tells this story in his new book The Warhead: The Quest to Build the Perfect Weapon in the Age of Modern Warfare.  He joins Jon Bateman on The World Unpacked to explore the past, present, and future of precision warfare. 

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Peggy Farnham from the Keck School of Medicine at USC about her work on establishing the ChIP Method in mammalian cells. In this episode, we dive into the relationship between transcription factors, chromatin dynamics, and gene expression with Professor Peggy Farnham from the Keck School of Medicine at USC. Professor Farnham shares her profound insights into how her groundbreaking research has reshaped our understanding of gene regulation and its implications in cancer. We explore how she has been a pioneer in mapping the genome-wide landscape of regulatory proteins, illuminating the molecular logic behind transcriptional control and its disruption in cancer biology. The interview starts with her instrumental role in adapting chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) technology from yeast to human cells. Professor Farnham reflects on the technical challenges she faced during this transition, such as the quest for visibility of signals in mammalian systems. Her ability to innovate and troubleshoot challenges led to significant advancements in techniques that allow for the rapid identification of transcription factor binding sites, fundamentally changing the landscape of epigenetic research. As the discussion progresses, we learn about Professor Farnham's active involvement in the ENCODE project, where she contributed to high-resolution mapping of transcription factors and regulatory elements in human cells. She articulates her appreciation for collaborative efforts in science, highlighting how working within a consortium harnesses the collective expertise of diverse research groups. This collaboration not only bolstered the credibility of the data produced but also propelled the field forward in understanding the complexity of gene regulation. Through her participation in various projects, such as the Psyc-ENCODE consortium and the Roadmap Epigenome Mapping Consortium, Professor Farnham shares insights into her investigation of epigenetic variations, particularly in relation to complex disorders like schizophrenia. Her findings underscore the nuances of enhancer variability among individuals and the implications for understanding disease mechanisms, thereby advancing our knowledge of genetic regulation and its contributions to diverse biological outcomes. Moreover, the episode highlights Professor Farnham's reflective understanding of emerging technologies in the field. She discusses the evolution of methods that allow researchers to investigate gene regulation at single-cell resolution, recognizing the significant implications these innovations have for our comprehension of cellular differentiation and the transcriptional landscape.

What if the friction stopping crypto adoption is the same fear that kept 62% of US adults from making their first online purchase until the pandemic forced them? From Bitcoin at $2 to NFTs that people still don't understand, the pattern repeats: revolutionary technology stumbles not on innovation, but on trust and usability.This encore episode (originally published in April 2024 and our #1 most downloaded episode of the year) brings back Jean-Louis Hé, Director of Digital and E-Commerce at Yves Saint Laurent Beauty. Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they reflect on how quickly technology moves, blockchain was the emerging tech buzz in 2024, now AI dominates every conversation.Jean-Louis shares his journey from wanting to be an architect to shaping digital experiences, explaining how his family's Chinese restaurant in Paris taught him the importance of human connection that now informs his work bridging physical retail with digital innovation. He reveals YSL's Web3 experiments with Beauty Blocks NFTs designed to transform one-way brand communication into participatory community building, drawing parallels to Nike's success letting customers co-design shoes. We tackle the massive friction barriers in crypto (MetaMask wallets, scam airdrops, ledger codes, obscure coin exchanges), explore why connected mirrors and QR codes still matter in stores, and examine how gaming revolutionized technology infrastructure that business now benefits from. Jean-Louis argues the biggest misconception about frictionless digital experiences is thinking you only need to optimize the digital interface, when the real work is crafting a cohesive story across the entire consumer journey.Key Actionable Takeaways:Design for the complete journey, not just digital touchpoints - A beautiful website won't succeed if it's disconnected from physical stores, marketplace channels, and brand values across the customer experienceBuild two-way participation instead of one-way communication - Enable consumers to co-create through challenges, exclusive access, and design input rather than passively consuming brand messagesRecognize adoption friction mirrors historical technology fears - The same resistance to online credit cards 15 years ago now appears with crypto wallets; reduce friction by simplifying onboarding and building trust through educationWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter! https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/Download the Five Step Site Speed Target Playbook: http://bluetriangle.com/playbookJean-Louis's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanlouishe/ Nick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladino Chuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuckmoxley/Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:00) Blockchain vs AI adoption(02:30) Jean-Louis's origin story(06:00) Architecture meets UX(08:00) PowerPoint wireframes era(10:00) Growing up in analog retail(11:30) Connected retail tools(13:00) McDonald's efficiency principles(14:00) Digital apron concept(15:00) Selling fragrance online(16:00) Brain signal scent tech(18:00) Beyond screen interfaces(19:30) Crypto and NFT curiosity(21:00) Web3 and user control(23:47) Bitcoin at $2 regrets(26:00) YSL Beauty Blocks launch(27:00) Nike's community building(29:00) Crypto wallet friction(31:30) Early e-commerce parallels(32:00) Buying obscure coins(34:00) Twitter crypto scams(35:30) Pandemic online shopping(37:45) Biggest misconception(40:00) Human connection matters(41:00) The phygital world(42:00) Immersive web evolution(44:00) Gaming drives innovation(45:30) Roblox brand strategy(47:00) Digital ownership economics(48:00) Conclusion

In this Omni Talk Retail episode, recorded live from NRF 2026 in the Vusion podcast studio, Mark Propes from Vusion and Art Miller from Qualcomm reveal how their partnership is enabling "detect and connect" capabilities that transform physical retail into personalized experiences, and why retailers still testing need to operationalize now before the gap becomes permanent. From edge computing that processes 4K video locally instead of streaming to the cloud, to closed-loop attribution tracking customer intent in real-time physical space, Mark and Art break down the multimodal signal taxonomy (RFID, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, vision) powering connected stores. They share insights on why scanning barcodes continuously creates data-poor environments, how agentic AI creates new doorways into physical stores, and the precision needed for sub-30 minute delivery promises. If you've wondered what detect and connect actually means beyond buzzwords, this conversation delivers the technical foundation and business applications.

Topics covered in this episode: ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and LSP Python Supply Chain Security Made Easy typing_extensions MI6 chief: We'll be as fluent in Python as we are in Russian Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Connect with the hosts Michael: @mkennedy@fosstodon.org / @mkennedy.codes (bsky) Brian: @brianokken@fosstodon.org / @brianokken.bsky.social Show: @pythonbytes@fosstodon.org / @pythonbytes.fm (bsky) Join us on YouTube at pythonbytes.fm/live to be part of the audience. Usually Monday at 10am PT. Older video versions available there too. Finally, if you want an artisanal, hand-crafted digest of every week of the show notes in email form? Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and LSP Charlie Marsh announced the Beta release of ty on Dec 16 “designed as an alternative to tools like mypy, Pyright, and Pylance.” Extremely fast even from first run Successive runs are incremental, only rerunning necessary computations as a user edits a file or function. This allows live updates. Includes nice visual diagnostics much like color enhanced tracebacks Extensive configuration control Nice for if you want to gradually fix warnings from ty for a project Also released a nice VSCode (or Cursor) extension Check the docs. There are lots of features. Also a note about disabling the default language server (or disabling ty's language server) so you don't have 2 running Michael #2: Python Supply Chain Security Made Easy We know about supply chain security issues, but what can you do? Typosquatting (not great) Github/PyPI account take-overs (very bad) Enter pip-audit. Run it in two ways: Against your installed dependencies in current venv As a proper unit test (so when running pytest or CI/CD). Let others find out first, wait a week on all dependency updates: uv pip compile requirements.piptools --upgrade --output-file requirements.txt --exclude-newer "1 week" Follow up article: DevOps Python Supply Chain Security Create a dedicated Docker image for testing dependencies with pip-audit in isolation before installing them into your venv. Run pip-compile / uv lock --upgrade to generate the new lock file Test in a ephemeral pip-audit optimized Docker container Only then if things pass, uv pip install / uv sync Add a dedicated Docker image build step that fails the docker build step if a vulnerable package is found. Brian #3: typing_extensions Kind of a followup on the deprecation warning topic we were talking about in December. prioinv on Mastodon notified us that the project typing-extensions includes it as part of the backport set. The warnings.deprecated decorator is new to Python 3.13, but with typing-extensions, you can use it in previous versions. But typing_extesions is way cooler than just that. The module serves 2 purposes: Enable use of new type system features on older Python versions. Enable experimentation with type system features proposed in new PEPs before they are accepted and added to the typing module. So cool. There's a lot of features here. I'm hoping it allows someone to use the latest typing syntax across multiple Python versions. I'm “tentatively” excited. But I'm bracing for someone to tell me why it's not a silver bullet. Michael #4: MI6 chief: We'll be as fluent in Python as we are in Russian "Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing are not only revolutionizing economies but rewriting the reality of conflict, as they 'converge' to create science fiction-like tools,” said new MI6 chief Blaise Metreweli. She focused mainly on threats from Russia, the country is "testing us in the grey zone with tactics that are just below the threshold of war.” This demands what she called "mastery of technology" across the service, with officers required to become "as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages." Recruitment will target linguists, data scientists, engineers, and technologists alike. Extras Brian: Next chapter of Lean TDD being released today, Finding Waste in TDD Still going to attempt a Jan 31 deadline for first draft of book. That really doesn't seem like enough time, but I'm optimistic. SteamDeck is not helping me find time to write But I very much appreciate the gift from my fam Send me game suggestions on Mastodon or Bluesky. I'd love to hear what you all are playing. Michael: Astral has announced the Beta release of ty, which they say they are "ready to recommend to motivated users for production use."

In a world where customer expectations evolve faster than ever, organisations are rethinking how they manage and leverage data. Legacy, monolithic Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) are increasingly challenged by rigidity, slow adaptability, and regulatory pressures. In this episode of Tech Transformed, Christina Stathopoulos, Founder of Dare to Data, speaks with Joe Pulickal, Director of Product Management at Uniphore, about the shift to composable CDPs and what it means for modern marketing technology.Moving Away from Monolithic CDPsOrganisations are moving away from rigid, all-in-one CDPs as regulations around data privacy, consent, and cross-border data flows intensify. Joe explains that companies can no longer rely on systems that lock them into a single architecture or make compliance retrofitting difficult. Data governance, consent management, and data sovereignty have become critical considerations in every technology decision, forcing leaders to rethink the underlying structure of their CDPs.Challenges in Composable SystemsWhile composable CDPs offer flexibility, they introduce new challenges. Organisations must define ownership and accountability within modular systems to prevent fragmentation and ensure consistent data quality. Leadership must consider how compute, storage, and access are distributed across modules while maintaining compliance and security standards. Joe notes that without clarity on ownership, organisations risk operational inefficiency and weakened governance.Flexibility and Modularity in Data ManagementThe core advantage of composable architectures lies in modularity. By decoupling components from data ingestion to activation, organisations gain the freedom to innovate without being constrained by a monolithic platform. Joe emphasises: “You need flexibility in where data lives, how compute happens, ultimately doubling down on sovereignty, security, and that composable idea that initially started with data.” This approach allows teams to adopt new tools, scale selectively, and respond to changing business or regulatory requirements with agility.Embracing First-Party Data StrategiesThe shift to first-party data strategies is essential in today's marketing landscape. With third-party cookies being phased out and privacy regulations tightening, companies must rely on direct, trusted data from their customers. Composable CDPs provide the framework to centralise first-party data while giving teams the ability to personalise experiences, maintain compliance, and safeguard trust. Joe highlights that organisations need to view data not just as an asset, but as a responsibility, balancing customer value with ethical management.Here are what leaders can do:Rethink data architecture: Move from monolithic to composable systems to gain flexibility, scalability, and regulatory alignment.Prioritise governance: Define ownership, consent management, and security practices across modular components.Focus on first-party data: Build direct customer relationships and leverage trusted data responsibly.Embrace modularity: Enable innovation, adaptability, and resilience in data management through composable design.This episode offers practical insights for leaders navigating the transition from traditional CDPs to composable architectures. It highlights how thoughtful design, governance, and first-party data strategies empower organisations to act with agility, comply with regulations, and...

The holidays are prime time for scammers. Between flash sales, delivery updates, gift cards, and travel plans, cyber-criminals count on people moving fast and clicking first. In this video, we break down simple, real-world steps you can take to protect your money, your accounts, and your identity while shopping online.✅ Holiday cyber-safety checklist- Shop only on trusted sites: Type the web address yourself or use official apps—avoid random links in texts, emails, and ads.- Watch for fake deals: If a price looks too good to be true, it probably is. Check the seller, reviews, and return policy.- Secure payments: Use a credit card or secure payment service (better fraud protection). Avoid debit cards for online purchases.- Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA): Turn it on for email, banking, and shopping accounts—especially your email (it's the “master key”).- Use strong, unique passwords: A password manager helps you avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites.- Beware of delivery scams: Fake “package delayed” or “address problem” messages are common. Track orders from the retailer's official site/app.- Avoid public Wi-Fi for purchases: If you must, use a trusted VPN—otherwise wait until you're on your home network. - Don't buy gift cards from strangers: And never share gift card codes with anyone claiming you “owe” money.- Keep devices updated: Updates patch security holes that scammers actively exploit.- Check statements regularly: Spot small “test charges” early—report anything suspicious immediately.If you want more videos like this, subscribe and share this with a friend or family member—especially anyone doing a lot of online shopping.

The age of the top-down, "do as I say" leader is obsolete. We all know it, yet many organisations are still clinging to the old command and control model. Why? Because most leaders are terrified of what comes next. The fear of relinquishing control is real, and a vague "coaching culture" isn't a strong enough replacement. In this powerful episode from the archive, Andy Lopata is joined by globally recognised leadership coach and author of The Enabling Manager, Myles Downey. Myles argues that the solution isn't to abandon control, but to transform it. He unveils his practical and humane "Align and Enable" framework—a model that replaces outdated authority with a dynamic balance of "Will" (clarity, accountability) and "Love" (trust, nurturing). Discover how to lead, manage, and coach effectively to unlock true team engagement and high performance. This is the practical blueprint for the future of leadership you've been waiting for. In this episode you will learn Why is simply creating a "coaching culture" a dangerous trap that leaves many managers feeling fearful and ineffective? What can leaders learn from the US military's "mission command" about empowering teams to make decisions without losing control? How can balancing the two essential human drives of "Love" (enabling) and "Will (accountability) transform you from a boss into a true leader? What are the three simple pillars—the Why, What, and How—that create true team alignment and unlock extraordinary performance? How are Millennials and Gen Z forcing a leadership revolution, and what happens to the leaders who refuse to adapt? 3 Actionable Insights Adopt the Lead, Manage, Coach Framework: Understand that your role is multifaceted. Build a Trust-Based Relationship First: The "Align and Enable" model only works on a foundation of trust. Before you can effectively lead, manage, or coach, you must invest time in understanding your team members. This trust is what gives you the permission to switch between the different modes of leadership. Don't Just Delegate Tasks, Communicate the Mission: Ensure every team member understands the overarching business objective and exactly how their role contributes to it.

In this podcast, we spoke with Troy Ostreng, Senior Product Manager and David Burdge, Director of Cell and Gene Therapy at CPC about the development of the MicroCNX® aseptic micro-connectors and how they're helping biopharma teams streamline closed-system operations for cell and gene therapies. What unfolded was a detailed and forward-looking conversation that touched on CPC's 47-year legacy, the technical demands of advanced therapies, and the company's plans to drive the future of automation and sterility in manufacturing. A Legacy That Positioned CPC for Today's Advanced Therapy Boom When asked how CPC's long history in biologics and hospital environments prepared the company for today's cell and gene therapy landscape, David took us back to CPC's roots. “CPC was founded in 1978, so that's 47 years of innovation within connection technologies,” he said. “The first biologic was released in 1982, synthetic insulin, and we were there supporting the industry with open-format connectors on single-use bags.” From the early development of biologics through the shift to single-use and the rise of stainless-steel/single-use hybrid systems, CPC continuously evolved its connection technologies. They launched steam-through connectors as bioprocessing grew more complex, released their first aseptic connector in 2009, and introduced their first connector specifically targeted for the cell and gene therapy market in 2017. David explained how that history matters today: “Biologics has about a 35-year head start on advanced therapies. So the question becomes, what lessons can we transfer from biologics to cell and gene therapy as that industry grows at three to four times the rate biologics did in its first decade?” That perspective, combining biological manufacturing experience with the needs of new therapy modalities, forms the foundation for CPC's MicroCNX platform. MicroCNX: The First Aseptic Connector Built for Small-Format Tubing As cell and gene therapy developers began scaling up manufacturing, they quickly discovered a problem: the connectors used for biologics were not designed for small-volume, patient-specific therapies. Troy described it plainly: “Several years ago, we started hearing rumblings that current connectors weren't meeting what cell and gene therapy required.” CPC responded with a deep Voice of Customer (VOC) initiative, interviewing process engineers, operators, manufacturing leaders, and platform developers. Over and over, the same needs emerged. Operators wanted something simple. “Ease of use was the number one requirement,” Troy said. “Operators needed a product that was easy to use so they could make sterile connections in a short amount of time.” Processes demanded robustness. “Customers needed a connection they could trust—no contamination, no failures, no weak spots in the connection process,” he added. Small-volume precise applications required connectors actually designed for them. With autologous therapies, he noted, “We aren't talking about 1,000 liters; we're talking about 250 milliliters. And if there's a mishap, that could mean the difference between life and death for a patient.” All of this laid the groundwork for MicroCNX, which became the first aseptic connector engineered for small-format tubing. The “Pinch-Click-Pull” Process: Sterility Meets Speed One of the standout features of MicroCNX is its elegantly simple pinch-click-pull operation. Troy explained how simplicity came directly from user feedback. “As operators walked us through their pain points, what they needed was clear: a connector they could learn immediately. So MicroCNX has a three-step process—pinch, click, pull. You can literally do it as fast as I say it.” He continued,“Once someone does it one time, they're basically an expert. That ease of use dramatically reduces operator error.” For an industry where operator variability remains one of the biggest sources of risk and batch loss, eliminating complexity is critical. Cryogenic Challenges Call for Cryo-Rated Solutions As the conversation shifted to cryopreservation, a critical component of cell therapy manufacturing,Troy introduced the MicroCNX® ULT and MicroCNX® Nano variants. “These were really developed because therapies were being frozen to –150°C, even –190°C. You need a connector that can be frozen to those temperatures, thawed, and still be as robust as it was before.” The ULT and Nano were engineered with: Low-profile geometries to fit inside freezing cassettes Specialized materials to withstand thermal stress Chemical compatibility with DMSO and other cryoprotectants Enhanced durability to survive impacts while frozen Troy emphasized how critical it was to get the materials right: “We searched extensively for a material that could handle those harsh chemicals and temperatures. What we landed on was PPSU—polyphenylsulfone. It's chemically sound, and it's incredibly impact-resistant at very low temperatures.” CPC built these connectors because customers repeatedly told them: existing solutions were cracking, leaking, or becoming brittle. MicroCNX was engineered to overcome all of that. True Closed Systems vs. Functionally Closed Systems: Why the Difference Matters A substantial part of the conversation focused on the differences between closed, functionally closed, and open systems—distinctions that are often overlooked but critically important. Troy broke down the differences clearly: “An open system is exposed at some point. A functionally closed system is inherently open but gets closed temporarily to let fluid transfer. In comparison, a closed system is never open at any point.” Examples of functionally closed systems include: Biosafety cabinets (BSCs) Luer-based connections Closed system transfer devices These approaches require: Sanitization Careful environmental controls Operator expertise And, as Troy noted, “a mishap in one of these can mean losing a very valuable therapy.” CPC's sterile connectors—including MicroCNX minimize these risks: “Our connectors allow the system to remain closed 100% of the time. That greatly reduces contamination risk.” This distinction isn't merely academic—it has direct regulatory implications as well. David added,“In Annex 1, they refer to intrinsically sterile connection devices—like sterile connectors and tube welders—that allow operations normally requiring Grade A or B to occur in a Grade C or D environment.” That ability to operate safely in lower-grade spaces is increasingly critical as the industry tries to overcome facility and labor bottlenecks. Why Teams Are Moving Away from Tube Welding Tube welding has been part of bioprocessing for decades, but David explained why its era may be ending for CGT. “Tube welding was born out of the blood banking industry when no other solution existed. But sterile connectors don't require capital investment. They're faster. They eliminate issues like tubing alignment or pinhole leaks. They're simply more reliable.” As biologics manufacturers have already done, CGT teams are now transitioning toward connectors like MicroCNX® that provide sterile, consistent, low-burden operations. The MicroCNX® Luer Variant: Supporting Transitional Workflows Not all workflows are ready to move away from luer-based devices. That's where the MicroCNX Luer variant fits in. Troy described how it works.“You connect a syringe or bag with a luer inside the BSC, but then because the MicroCNX® connector itself is sterile, you can take it outside the hood and make a sterile connection elsewhere.” This capability bridges legacy workflows and fully closed systems—critical during process development, technology transfer, or when working with specific devices. Co-Development: The Heart of CPC's Innovation Process As the conversation returned to CPC's broader philosophy, David highlighted how important customer collaboration is. “It's all about the customer for CPC,” he said. “We start with Voice of Customer. Our business and applications managers are out in the field understanding real applications and guiding them to the right products.” This feedback fuels CPC's two major development tracks: Catalog product development (platforms like MicroCNX) Custom-engineered solutions for unique applications David added: “We maintain a full new product introduction roadmap. Some products will be released broadly. Others will be developed specifically for one customer. But both are driven by real application requirements.” This process ensures CPC's products evolve in lockstep with the needs of advanced therapy teams. Looking Ahead: Designing Connectors for Robotics and Automation Toward the end of the conversation, David turned to one of CPC's biggest focus areas: the future of automation. “The ultimate customer in this industry is the patient,” he said. “And right now we face barriers—capacity, speed, accessibility, cost. Process automation can significantly reduce those barriers.” Automation requires connectors designed not just for human hands but for robotics: Predictable geometries Features optimized for machine vision Forces and actuation steps compatible with robotic grippers Designs intended for automated loading and unloading David summarized CPC's future direction: “We're taking a fresh look at our connectors, reimagining them as something designed for robotic manipulation. It's a high priority for us.” Troy echoed the sentiment: “Our connectors are awesomely designed for humans. But automation is coming, and we're focused on the features robots need.” A Future Built on Innovation and Patient Impact The interview closed with both guests reflecting on CPC's mission. “We're incredibly passionate about innovation and meeting the needs of our customers through thoughtful product development,” Troy said.

Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgess explores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. 1865
