Gospel Luke 9:28b-36 Jesus took Peter, John, and James  and went up a mountain to pray. While he was praying his face changed in appearance  and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,  who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus  that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep,  but becoming fully awake,  they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus,  “Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But he did not know what he was saying. While he was still speaking,  a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said,  “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.” After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time  tell anyone what they had seen. Reflection Jesus had just revealed for the first time to his disciples that he was going to have to die. Go back to Jerusalem and be crucified. Then he takes Peter, James, and John into an amazing experience. And what is interesting about what they saw was the fact that Jesus' face had changed, and that he was glowing with light. And I believe that's because what they were looking at was not just Jesus the human, but Jesus the one who is divine, who is filled with divinity. And then he's talking clearly about what he's about to do. HIs Exodus. His Exodus is his death and resurrection in Jerusalem. And what he is trying to make clear to his disciples is that the Old Testament, the story of Moses, Exodus, the story of all the prophets, he is the fulfillment of all of that. And what they need to do is just start pondering what it means to die and to rise. Closing Prayer Father, we pray that you will keep us in touch, and keep us aware of what you did for each of us. Your death and resurrection changed the world. Enables us to feel the fullness of a transformation that could only be done by you. Bless us with gratitude and awareness and we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What does it take to scale from a 38-unit syndication to 33,000 units across six states—and still never lose investor capital? Jeff Gleiberman of MG Properties breaks it down. In this episode, Jeff shares the core principles that helped his family-run firm grow into one of the top 50 apartment owners in the U.S. You'll hear how they've weathered multiple market cycles, why they're buying newer assets right now, and how disciplined underwriting, fixed-rate debt, and vertical integration have become their unfair advantages. Whether you're raising capital, comparing asset classes, or trying to read the market—this episode is required listening.Key TakeawaysFrom Family Syndication to Institutional ScaleStarted with a single 38-unit deal and scaled to 33,000 units over 30+ years.Built trust and momentum through word of mouth and disciplined execution.Added institutional capital partners while staying grounded in syndication fundamentals.Grew from a home office to over 1,000 employees with fully integrated operations.How MG Navigates Market CyclesSurvived and thrived through the S&L crisis, dot-com bust, GFC, COVID, and today's rate shock.Adapted strategy for each cycle—moving from value-add to core-plus when needed.Buys below replacement cost today to minimize downside and maximize long-term upside.Maintains focus on fixed-rate, long-term debt and low leverage to protect investor capital.Why Vertical Integration is a Competitive AdvantageIn-house property management, asset management, and construction management from day one.Enables real-time decision-making, tighter expense control, and stronger performance in down markets.Allowed the firm to pivot quickly during COVID and deliver consistent returns.How to Attract Serious Capital (Without Chasing High IRRs)Always invests 10–20% of their own capital into each deal—creating strong alignment.Focuses on risk-adjusted returns, not marketing inflated projections.Educates investors on cycles, deal structure, and realistic expectations to build long-term trust.Current Strategy: Core-Plus Over Value-AddAcquiring newer, well-located properties at 30–40% discounts to replacement cost.Cash flow is lower today—but risk is also lower, and long-term upside is strong.Value-add deals don't pencil right now due to rent compression and renovation risk—but they will again.The Discipline Behind $1.8B in Acquisitions (In a Down Market)Maintains a consistent buy box and underwriting discipline—despite competition and volatility.Relies on lender relationships, low-cost insurance, and scale advantages to stay competitive.Sticks to one asset class—multifamily—and executes at a high level, deal after deal.Connect with Jeffmgproperties.com Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)

It's Monday, August 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Cuban pastor harassed Cuban pastor Maikel Velázquez vanished about 14 hours after delivering epilepsy medication to a friend's granddaughter on July 9th in the island country, reports International Christian Concern. Velázquez delivered the medicine to the granddaughter of Marta Benites, whose sons were imprisoned for participating in a peaceful protest in July 2021 in San José de las Lajas, Mayabeque. Immediately after the delivery, Velázquez was abruptly barred from entering the Benites home. Moments after completing a phone call with another pastor, he disappeared. His phone was instantly switched off, severing all contact. Pastors from the Alliance of Christians of Cuba launched a search for Velázquez, combing hospitals, detention centers, and police stations — yet their efforts yielded no clue to his whereabouts. At around 2:00 a.m. on July 10th, Velázquez was discovered outside his home, clearly shaken after enduring a traumatic interrogation and serious threats. When questioned, he would not disclose details of the incident and behaved erratically, sometimes yelling and at other times falling eerily silent. Pastor Velázquez's abduction is only the most recent in a string of alarming cases of pastoral harassment in Cuba. In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first.” According to Open Doors, Cuba is the 26th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it is shutting down, reports American Family Radio. Congress created it in 1967 with the Public Broadcasting Act in order to promote educational and cultural programming that was not being done by the three broadcast networks.  With a current half-billion dollar annual budget, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is now most known for overseeing liberal news outlet National Public Radio and the liberal network PBS. Back in May, President Trump signed an executive order to stop taxpayer funded biased media. Republican-hating NPR sued to challenge that order and told the court any decision to cut off funding must come from Congress.  With that challenge in the courts, the White House sent a rescissions package to Congress in late May. The GOP-led House passed the measure 214-212. In the U.S. Senate, Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie vote for passage.  Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez said a nation that is $36 trillion in debt should not be paying for news coverage that tells half the country to "get lost" because of its political beliefs.  HR15 enables perversion and abortion for public school minors Liberty Counsel took a case to the U.S. Supreme Court to ensure that parents  are allowed to opt their children out of homosexual and transgender indoctrination in public schools. However, if House Resolution 15 passes, it will open the floodgates and will force parents, counselors, and teachers to celebrate this destructive behavior. This bill has been introduced in both the current U.S. House and Senate. HR 15 — the misnamed “Equality Act” — will be a nightmare for everyone, warns Liberty Counsel Action. Every Democrat has signed on to the bill. And some Republicans voted for a prior version of HR 15. The margins are slim, and we could lose this battle if we remain silent. The battle in Congress will be fierce, but we must stop this bill for four reasons. First, if the child becomes confused by the propaganda at public schools — mandated by HR 15 — to think a person can choose their sex like they choose clothes, there will be no one to help them learn the truth. The child can demand hormone-blocking drugs (stopping puberty), opposite-sex hormones, and even surgery to remove healthy body parts. Parents will have no say, nor will the hospitals, health care providers, or pharmacists. Insurance and taxpayer funds will cover the expense. If the parents object, this will be considered child abuse, and the child could be removed from the home. Second, if someone pressures a young girl to get an abortion, she will have no one to protect her from this life-and-death decision. The so-called Equality Act will make abortion a federal right through all nine months. It will pre-empt every state law — including parental notification or consent and informed consent. The parents will have no say, nor will the hospitals, health care workers, or pharmacists.  Insurance companies cannot refuse coverage, and our taxes will fund the killing of innocent life. If parents, health care providers, or pharmacists resist the abortion, they can be sued by the U.S. Department of Justice, private individuals, and organizations — including Planned Parenthood. Third, if the child asks the parents for help to overcome unwanted homosexual attractions, behaviors, or gender confusion, there will be no one to help. The so-called Equality Act will make it illegal to provide any such counsel to help overcome these unwanted attractions, behaviors, or confusion. In fact, this bill makes such counsel illegal for all ages and for any counsel — licensed and unlicensed — and this includes pastoral counseling. Fourth, this dangerous bill will require Christian adoption and foster care ministries to place children in homosexual and transgender homes. And remember, the “Q” in LGBTQ encompasses nearly 550 paraphilias — which includes pedophilia! There will be no one to help these innocent children! In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Send faxes to Congress to stop the so-called Equality Act from endangering public school kids.  We have the special link for you in the transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Remember, some Republicans voted for a prior version of HR 15. The margins are slim, and we could lose this battle if we remain silent. White House Ballroom to add 90,000 square feet and cost $200 million And finally, the White House is about to get a major physical upgrade – a new ballroom. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made the announcement. LEAVITT:  “We are proud to announce that the construction of the new White House ballroom will begin. For 150 years, presidents, administrations and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. President Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future administrations and the American people. “The White House is currently unable to host major functions, honoring world leaders and other countries, without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building's entrance. “The White House State ballroom will be a much needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of carefully crafted space, with a seated capacity of 650 people, which is a significant increase from the 200-person seated capacity in the East Room of the White House.” Leavitt revealed the price tag and that it would not be paid for with tax dollars. LEAVITT: “President Trump and other donors have generously committed to donating the funds necessary to build this approximately $200 million structure.” White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said, “President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail.” … He is “fully committed to working with the appropriate organizations to preserving the special history of the White House.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, August 4th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Heather Kuhn is Privacy, Security, and Technology Counsel at Genuine Parts Company. She is a privacy and technology attorney with nearly two decades of professional cross-industry experience. She teaches at Georgia State College of Law, serves on the Georgia Bar's AI Committee, and formerly chaired its Privacy & Technology Section, leading conversations at the intersection of law, AI, and innovation. In this episode… Embedding privacy and security practices into a large, global business requires more than policies. It takes early collaboration, constant relationship building across teams, and a deep understanding of business goals. Privacy programs are most effective when they build consumer trust, increase operational efficiency, meet privacy requirements, and support strategic business goals, like revenue growth and product development. And as companies continue to adopt AI, the same principles apply to managing AI risk. Teams need to evaluate how data is used, assess risks, and adapt existing privacy and security measures to new technologies. Managing privacy across a massive global company requires building the right partnerships and embedding privacy-by-design principles from the start of projects. Most companies have small but mighty privacy teams, so the key is finding privacy champions across the business to handle operational functions while the privacy team sets global policies and procedures. Data mapping and privacy impact assessments are critical tools that help identify risks and right-size privacy programs. This also extends to the customer experience, where meaningful consent, clear privacy notices, and giving users control strengthens trust. Privacy training is also essential for internal teams and works best when it's interactive and relevant to an employee's daily work rather than abstract compliance requirements.  In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi Daniels and Justin Daniels speak with Heather Kuhn, Privacy and Technology Counsel at Genuine Parts Company, about operationalizing privacy and security across a global enterprise. Heather explains how early engagement, strong internal relationships, and cross-functional collaboration make it possible to scale privacy programs without slowing the business. She shares how her team uses data mapping and privacy impact assessments to right-size privacy programs and privacy requirements and emphasizes the need to embed privacy into customer experiences through clear privacy notices and meaningful consent. Heather also highlights the importance of privacy training tied to employee roles, delivered through in-person sessions and gamified content. And she explains how her department uses generative AI to enhance legal team efficiency, and how she approaches privacy risks associated with AI tools and automation.

Established 28 years ago by Congress, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is charged with monitoring religious persecution around the world, reporting to Congress, the President, and the Secretary of State and making recommendations on advancing religious freedom through US foreign policy. Vicky Hartzler is the current chair of USCIRF. Prior to that appointment, she served in Congress from the state of Missouri. Even before her service in Congress, Hartzler came with a group from her church to volunteer at The Voice of the Martyrs. Listen as she shares more about her role in reporting on and seeking religious freedom for our brothers and sisters in restricted areas and hostile nations. She'll also share her own experiences of advocating on behalf of persecuted Christians directly to leaders of other nations. After getting VOM's monthly magazine and reading Richard Wurmbrand's story in Tortured for Christ, her eyes were opened to Christian persecution and she was moved to pray for our persecuted Christian family, taking Hebrews 13:3 to heart. Hartzler was impacted by her time serving at VOM. Her heart was also moved when she met a Chinese Christian woman at her church. The woman shared how she'd felt alone in solitary confinement in China—until she had a vision from the Lord of people praying for her. “God may be enabling somebody in prison to see and to hear our prayers—and to be encouraged,” Hartzler says. In Congress, Hartzler adopted three Christian prisoners in China to advocate on behalf of. Pastor Wang Yi—one of the three—is still in prison, serving out his nine-year sentence. You can write a letter to him, and petition government officials on his behalf, at PrisonerAlert.com. Listen for ways you can pray for USCIRF's work and for followers of Christ working in government to advance religious freedom around the world.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Sophia Chen interviews Ashley Bucsek from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor about her laboratory-scale three-dimensional (3D) x-ray diffraction (XRD) microscope to replace studies done in synchrotron facilities. A key element of the design is the material used to make the x-rays. Instead of using a solid metal as a target, Bucsek's research group used a liquid metal source to generate the x-rays, thereby circumventing melting. Among the advantages of miniaturizing the microscope are its immediate availability and the possibility of conducting long-term studies. This work was published in a recent issue of Nature Communications.

In today's episode, we had the opportunity to speak with Henry M. Kuerer, MD, PhD, FACS, CMQ, about the potential to safely omit surgery in a subset of patients with early-stage HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who achieve a pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant systemic therapy. Dr Kuerer is a professor of breast surgical oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. In our conversation, Dr Kuerer reviewed the rationale behind a prospective phase 2 clinical trial (NCT02945579) testing image-guided vacuum-assisted core biopsy to identify patients with no residual disease after neoadjuvant therapy. He outlined the strict technical and eligibility criteria that enabled accurate detection of pCR—including tumors downsizing to less than 2 cm and biopsy of at least 12 cores from the tumor bed—and discussed why this biopsy-based approach may be more reliable than standard surgery in detecting residual disease. He also highlighted the broader clinical implications of the findings, noting that patients with biopsy-confirmed pCR may proceed directly to radiotherapy and avoid breast surgery altogether.

On this week's show we take a first look at the proposed HDMI 2.2 specification. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: YouTube Once Again Dominates TV Usage In May SunBrite Debuts Full Sun 4K Smart TV Series XGIMI Releases MoGo 4 Series Projectors Amazon to Shutter Freevee in September 2025, Merging Content into Prime Video HDMI 2.2 Specification The HDMI 2.2 specification, announced by the HDMI Forum at CES 2025, introduces several advanced features to support higher resolutions, refresh rates, and enhanced audio-visual performance. Below is a summary of the key features included in the HDMI 2.2 specification based on the information we have today: Increased Bandwidth (Up to 96 Gbps): HDMI 2.2 doubles the bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 (from 48 Gbps to 96 Gbps), enabling support for higher resolution and refresh rate combinations, as well as data-intensive applications.  This increased bandwidth supports uncompressed and compressed video formats, making it suitable for advanced applications like AR/VR, spatial reality, light field displays, medical imaging, and machine vision. Support for Higher Resolutions and Refresh Rates: Uncompressed Formats 4K at 240 Hz and 480 Hz (4:4:4 chroma sampling, 10-bit and 12-bit color). 8K at 60 Hz and 240 Hz (4:4:4 chroma sampling, 8-bit and 10-bit color). 10K at 120 Hz. 12K at 120 Hz. 16K at 60 Hz. Compressed Formats (using Display Stream Compression or similar): Supports higher refresh rates like 4K at 480 Hz, 8K at 240 Hz, and 10K at 120 Hz, which require compression to achieve these rates within the bandwidth constraints. Next-Generation Fixed Rate Link (FRL) Technology: HDMI 2.2 introduces an advanced version of Fixed Rate Link signaling technology, optimized for better support of uncompressed content at high resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring pristine image quality and low latency Ultra96 HDMI Cable: A new cable type, the Ultra96 HDMI Cable, is introduced to support the full 96 Gbps bandwidth and all HDMI 2.2 features. These cables are backward compatible with older HDMI devices but are required to fully utilize HDMI 2.2's capabilities. The Ultra96 cables are part of the HDMI Cable Certification Program, requiring testing and certification with a visible Ultra96 certification label to ensure compliance. Features low electromagnetic interference (EMI) for stable and reliable data transmission. Latency Indication Protocol (LIP): A new feature designed to improve audio and video “‘video synchronization, particularly in multi-hop setups involving devices like AV receivers or soundbars. LIP enhances synchronization over existing methods, reducing issues like lip-sync lag, especially for fast-paced content or gaming. Support for Advanced Color and Chroma Formats: Supports high-quality color spaces like BT.2020 with 10-bit, 12-bit, and 16-bit color depth. Enables uncompressed full chroma formats (e.g., 4:4:4) at high resolutions, ensuring richer colors and pristine image quality. Additional Notes Availability: The HDMI 2.2 specification was announced at CES 2025, with Ultra96 cables expected to be available in Q3/Q4 2025. HDMI 2.2-compliant devices (e.g., TVs, monitors, GPUs) are expected to appear in late 2025 or 2026 Optional Features: Like previous HDMI versions, features such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Quick Frame Transport (QFT), and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) remain optional and depend on device manufacturer implementation. Consumer Guidance: The Ultra96 feature name helps consumers identify cables and devices capable of supporting 64 Gbps, 80 Gbps, or 96 Gbps bandwidth, ensuring optimal performance.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Dave Hora is perpetual Employee of the Month at Dave's Research Company: as a consultant, he helps leaders run strategic product initiatives and teams build well-informed product processes.In 2011, Dave was the first researcher at a mobile startup in San Francisco, then went on to work as the first research hire at five more companies including ResearchGate, PlanGrid, and Instacart. In 2020, he went independent and founded Dave's Research Company in Porto, Portugal.Dave co-led and co-designed the Research Skills Framework during his time as a Research Ops Community board member. He runs a small mailing list about how we make good software, and each year he takes a short sabbatical for winemaking or sake brewing season.In our conversation, we discuss:* Why researchers must understand the broader workflows and strategic goals their work feeds into.* How to “journey map” your research projects to identify patterns in decisions and outcomes.* The tension between pet projects and strategic alignment—especially in ambiguous organizations.* The importance of gaining visibility into upstream and downstream processes beyond the research itself.* How researchers can navigate vague strategies like “10x growth” without losing their grounding.Some takeaways:* Research is only valuable in context. Dave reminds us that insights have little power unless they directly support the work a team is trying to do. Strategic research isn't about delivering answers in isolation, it's about enabling action and influencing the sequence of product decisions.* Journey map your projects, not just your users. To grow as a researcher, reflect on your past projects and map the decisions, artifacts, and impacts they produced. Over time, you'll start to see recurring patterns, what kinds of questions emerge at different phases, and how research is (or isn't) used.* Visibility is your first step to influence. If you're stuck in a validation loop, start by asking what happens next. Join meetings outside your immediate research bubble. Observe how decisions are made, how documents evolve, and where your insights go. Influence begins with curiosity and presence.* Without strategy, pet projects thrive. When companies lack a clear “what we are and aren't doing,” well-intentioned ideas, often from leadership, can steamroll roadmaps. Researchers won't always win these battles, but they can help clarify risks, expose assumptions, and steer ideas through a more thoughtful path to validation.* Your role isn't to fix the org, but to participate wisely. You don't need to solve your company's strategic alignment or broken processes. But you can bring awareness to trade-offs, highlight what's at stake, and help others reflect. Influence is surfacing the right questions at the right time.Where to find Dave:* Website* LinkedInStop piecing it together.

In this episode, Peter dives into an important development for Cardano governance: the release of a new decentralised voting tool by the Cardano Foundation. This open-source platform, accessible at voting.cardanofoundation.org, enables DReps (Delegated Representatives), SPOs (Stake Pool Operators), and Constitutional Committee members to vote on-chain using a streamlined interface.Critically, the tool supports multisig wallets and stores immutable voting rationales on IPFS via integrations with Endmaker or custom IPFS providers. The release comes at a crucial time, as the existing community-built voting tool, GovTools, is facing funding challenges. GovTools wasn't included in the latest Intersect budget, leaving its continued development uncertain. A 100k ADA maintenance grant will keep the tool functional for now, but future progress depends on renewed community support.Peter walks through how the Cardano Foundation's tool works, outlining the step-by-step process from inputting your DRep ID to signing and submitting your vote. The new interface simplifies rationale submission, removing the need for GitHub uploads and allowing users to use Endmaker API tokens or even custom storage like Iagon.Crucially, the entire voting tool is open source and can be run locally or on private infrastructure, which ensures the resilience and decentralisation of Cardano governance. If hosted tools like GovTools go offline, users can still vote independently. This tool complements other platforms in the governance ecosystem like Tempo Vote, Governance.space, and the Cardano Forum, but it's one of the few to offer full voting capabilities.Peter applauds the Cardano Foundation for their contribution to the ecosystem's decentralisation and encourages the community to explore this new tool to strengthen participation in on-chain governance.

From lab curiosity to commercial reality. Here's what happens when moss meets the brutal economics of bioprocessing.In Part 1, you've heard the science behind moss-based protein production. Now comes the real test: Can it survive the gauntlet of regulatory scrutiny, cost pressures, and manufacturing scale-up that crushes most biotech innovations?In Part 2 of this groundbreaking conversation, David Brühlmann and Andreas Schaaf, Managing Director and CSO of Eleva, dive into the nuts and bolts of what it actually takes to commercialize a revolutionary production platform. Andreas doesn't just theorize—he's lived through 15+ years of transforming Eleva from startup concept to clinical-stage reality, navigating every regulatory hurdle and economic challenge along the way.Three game-changing advantages that caught our attention:Process Robustness That Actually Works: While CHO cells throw tantrums over minor parameter shifts, moss maintains consistent product quality even when your bioprocess isn't behaving perfectly; a lifeline for manufacturing teams dealing with real-world variability.Economics That Make CFOs Smile: Forget expensive viral filtration steps and costly human pathogen testing. Moss's plant heritage eliminates these animal-system burdens, directly impacting your bottom line in ways that matter.Operational Simplicity: Variability in process ingredients and streamlined cell banking contribute to long-term cost and operational efficiencies that compound over time.Andreas shares hard-won insights about what it really takes to challenge entrenched bioprocessing orthodoxy, including the regulatory conversations, the economic realities, and his advice for scientists brave enough to pursue game-changing innovations.Ready to understand how disruptive biotechnology actually makes it from bench to bedside?Connect with Andreas Schaaf:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/andreas-schaaf-b3797716Website: www.elevabiologics.comNext step:Book a free consultation to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callDevelop bioprocessing technologies better, faster, at a fraction of the cost with our 1:1 Strategy Call: The quickest and easiest way to excel biotech technology development.

What if the future of "impossible" protein therapeutics is hiding in your backyard?For decades, CHO cells have ruled the biotech kingdom as the undisputed champions of complex protein production. But here's the uncomfortable truth: countless breakthrough therapies are gathering dust on laboratory shelves—not because the science failed, but because traditional hosts can't produce them.Enter moss. Yes, moss. That humble green organism clinging to rocks and trees might just be the biotech industry's best-kept secret.In this eye-opening episode, David Brühlmann sits down with Andreas Schaaf, Managing Director and CSO of Eleva, who's spent over 20 years turning the "impossible" into reality. Andreas didn't just stumble upon moss; he co-developed Eleva's revolutionary moss-based platform from wild concept to commercial-scale game-changer, propelling the company into clinical trials.Here are three reasons why this episode is worth listening to:Moss as a Game Changer: More than a plant, moss is a higher eukaryote with mammalian-like protein production, including post-translational modifications and human-compatible glycosylation.Overcoming Bioprocessing Barriers: CHO cells are the industry gold standard, especially for monoclonal antibodies. But what about the therapeutic proteins that CHO can't handle? Many promising candidates end up shelved—not because the science isn't sound, but because existing production platforms hit their limits.Bioprocessing, Simplified: Moss grows in standard bioreactors using familiar workflows—just with a whole organism instead of suspended cells.Curious about how plant-based systems could solve your protein production challenges? Dive into this episode to discover how moss could revolutionize your approach to challenging proteins; and let us know about your own production hurdles.Connect with Andreas Schaaf:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/andreas-schaaf-b3797716Website: www.elevabiologics.comNext step:Book a free consultation to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callDevelop bioprocessing technologies better, faster, at a fraction of the cost with our 1:1 Strategy Call: The quickest and easiest way to excel biotech technology development.

If forgiveness isn't hard, you aren't doing it right - Dan Meola Summary  Many parents struggle with their children--not because of the kids, but because of the wounds they are carrying from their own parents.  The only path for healing those wounds is forgiveness.  But how do we forgive, especially when the hurts are deep and real?  In this podcast we sat down with Dan Meola, the founder of Life Giving Wounds, a ministry for adult children of divorce.  We talked about the importance of forgiveness,  what it is--and what it is not.  To define true forgiveness, Dan walks us through the seven marks of forgiveness that bring insight to this path to true reconciliation and healing.    Key Takeaways No matter how you have been hurt you need to let go of the grudge and forgive.  Unforgiveness hurts us, hurts those around us, and prevents our healing.  If forgiveness isn't hard, you aren't doing it right.  Christianity is the only religion that requires forgiveness, even if it is unilateral.  This is impossible by human standards and can only be done by God's grace.  The Seven Marks are: It is specific It is an ongoing process. Can be unilateral Means you still have boundaries It is a choice, not a feeling Enables you to let go of anger, resentment, and to cancel past debts Is only possible with the grace of God  

Explains language models (LLMs) advancements. Scaling laws - the relationships among model size, data size, and compute - and how emergent abilities such as in-context learning, multi-step reasoning, and instruction following arise once certain scaling thresholds are crossed. The evolution of the transformer architecture with Mixture of Experts (MoE), describes the three-phase training process culminating in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for model alignment, and explores advanced reasoning techniques such as chain-of-thought prompting which significantly improve complex task performance. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mlg34 Build the future of multi-agent software with AGNTCY Try a walking desk stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Transformer Foundations and Scaling Laws Transformers: Introduced by the 2017 "Attention is All You Need" paper, transformers allow for parallel training and inference of sequences using self-attention, in contrast to the sequential nature of RNNs. Scaling Laws: Empirical research revealed that LLM performance improves predictably as model size (parameters), data size (training tokens), and compute are increased together, with diminishing returns if only one variable is scaled disproportionately. The "Chinchilla scaling law" (DeepMind, 2022) established the optimal model/data/compute ratio for efficient model performance: earlier large models like GPT-3 were undertrained relative to their size, whereas right-sized models with more training data (e.g., Chinchilla, LLaMA series) proved more compute and inference efficient. Emergent Abilities in LLMs Emergence: When trained beyond a certain scale, LLMs display abilities not present in smaller models, including: In-Context Learning (ICL): Performing new tasks based solely on prompt examples at inference time. Instruction Following: Executing natural language tasks not seen during training. Multi-Step Reasoning & Chain of Thought (CoT): Solving arithmetic, logic, or symbolic reasoning by generating intermediate reasoning steps. Discontinuity & Debate: These abilities appear abruptly in larger models, though recent research suggests that this could result from non-linearities in evaluation metrics rather than innate model properties. Architectural Evolutions: Mixture of Experts (MoE) MoE Layers: Modern LLMs often replace standard feed-forward layers with MoE structures. Composed of many independent "expert" networks specializing in different subdomains or latent structures. A gating network routes tokens to the most relevant experts per input, activating only a subset of parameters—this is called "sparse activation." Enables much larger overall models without proportional increases in compute per inference, but requires the entire model in memory and introduces new challenges like load balancing and communication overhead. Specialization & Efficiency: Experts learn different data/knowledge types, boosting model specialization and throughput, though care is needed to avoid overfitting and underutilization of specialists. The Three-Phase Training Process 1. Unsupervised Pre-Training: Next-token prediction on massive datasets—builds a foundation model capturing general language patterns. 2. Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT): Training on labeled prompt-response pairs to teach the model how to perform specific tasks (e.g., question answering, summarization, code generation). Overfitting and "catastrophic forgetting" are risks if not carefully managed. 3. Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF): Collects human preference data by generating multiple responses to prompts and then having annotators rank them. Builds a reward model (often PPO) based on these rankings, then updates the LLM to maximize alignment with human preferences (helpfulness, harmlessness, truthfulness). Introduces complexity and risk of reward hacking (specification gaming), where the model may exploit the reward system in unanticipated ways. Advanced Reasoning Techniques Prompt Engineering: The art/science of crafting prompts that elicit better model responses, shown to dramatically affect model output quality. Chain of Thought (CoT) Prompting: Guides models to elaborate step-by-step reasoning before arriving at final answers—demonstrably improves results on complex tasks. Variants include zero-shot CoT ("let's think step by step"), few-shot CoT with worked examples, self-consistency (voting among multiple reasoning chains), and Tree of Thought (explores multiple reasoning branches in parallel). Automated Reasoning Optimization: Frontier models selectively apply these advanced reasoning techniques, balancing compute costs with gains in accuracy and transparency. Optimization for Training and Inference Tradeoffs: The optimal balance between model size, data, and compute is determined not only for pretraining but also for inference efficiency, as lifetime inference costs may exceed initial training costs. Current Trends: Efficient scaling, model specialization (MoE), careful fine-tuning, RLHF alignment, and automated reasoning techniques define state-of-the-art LLM development.

If you feel overwhelmed and seem to get nothing much done, you're not alone. That's because many of us go around in circles. We never attain take-off speed and are doomed to circle the airport endlessly. Or are we? In this podcast, we will examine why top speed is so crucial and how to get to the point where you can fly on autopilot.
