SPRINGFIELD — State Senator Michael E. Hastings advanced legislation designed to protect homeowners from excessive insurance rate increases and ensure fairness, transparency and accountability in Illinois homeowners insurance. "With this legislation, we are putting fairness and accountability back into the system," said Hastings (D-Frankfort). "Here is what this means for Illinois homeowners — no more surprise renewals, no more fine print, no more ‘gotcha' letters in the mail.” The legislation would establish clear rules for homeowners insurance, including: No surprise renewals: Companies would be required to give at least 60 days' notice before nonrenewal and at least 60 days' notice for premium increases over 10% or changes in coverage or deductibles. Use of Illinois-specific data: Insurers would need to use credible state-specific loss experience when setting rates. Fair, reasonable and transparent rates: Rates would need to be actuarially sound and not excessive, inadequate or unfairly discriminatory. Accountability and enforcement: The Department of Insurance would be able to review filings, issue orders and require rebates when rates are found unfair. The legislation would apply specifically to fire and extended coverage insurance for residential owner occupied properties, while excluding commercial, rental and unoccupied properties. Hastings emphasized the legislation is leveling the playing field for Illinois residents. "We are tired of the industry cherry picking data from across the country when setting their rates,” said Hastings. “This legislation guarantees homeowners a fair shake, with rates based on real Illinois data." House Bill 3799 passed the Senate on Thursday.

Sean Blake is lucky to be alive. Through recovery, developing self-compassion, Sean now advocates for early intervention with a society that understands this mental illness more. Sean Blake, an Irishman from Swords, Dublin, made his way to a Brain Conference in Brussels a couple of weeks ago. This was the first time he travelled alone as an adult, aged 43. All of this was historically linked to his own feeling of unworthiness and inadequacy. Sean's story begins in childhood, marked by years of not feeling “good enough.” This relentless inner critic eventually manifested as incessant running and starvation. After a couple of compliments on how he looked through initial fitness, he was locked into an ever-increasing path of torturous training. He was training to become invisible. He was running himself to death. By his forties, with four children observing this pattern, Sean's daily life was consumed by a regime where he was running many kilometres before ‘breakfast'. We don't mention how many kilometres as this can be a trigger of competition for other anorexics who may feel they are not doing enough in comparison. His ‘breakfast' would be the toast crusts after his children had eaten. They would remember the first time he eventually sat with them to eat a ‘normal' meal. His daughter commented at that moment that he thought his dad only ever ran and ate different food to them. Sean was lucky. A voice inside his head found a way to ask for help. When he arrived at St Patrick's Mental Health Services in Dublin, they told him he was extremely close to death and needed urgent, instant treatment. Over a period of many weeks, Sean unlocked the hold this disease had over his head. He promised himself that if he could get through those months and gain recovery, he would dedicate his voice to this cause. And that is what he has done. Sean transformed his feelings towards himself, and took a path to healing through Compassion-Focused Therapy. One of the exercises was to write a letter to himself: a letter of forgiveness and love. “That letter lifted something off my shoulders, I realised it wasn't my fault. I am good enough.” Today, Sean is a Shine See Change Ambassador, a member of NIMC's lived experience committee (NIMC is the National Implementation Monitoring Committee that  oversees  ''Sharing The Vision'' Mental Health Policy in Ireland), part of the Service User & Supporters Council at St Patrick's Mental Health Services. He also appeared in the RTÉ documentary Anorexia: My Family and Me, helping to reshape how we talk about eating disorders. In our conversation, Sean shares how recovery means learning to speak kindly to oneself. We discuss the importance of the words used as a community around food and body image; seemingly harmless words about food, fitness or weight can deeply affect those in fragile states of mind. Sean is particularly invested in working with Fitness Studios. Here, right under the observation of health advocates, lies a slightly hidden story of obsessive fitness to the point of anorexia athletica. This episode is a reminder that even the hardest stories can lead to healing when spoken aloud. https://www.instagram.com/seanblake80/?hl=en https://www.stpatricks.ie/ https://about.rte.ie/2024/10/14/rte-airs-compelling-new-documentary-anorexia-my-family-me/ https://www.bodywhys.ie/ https://www.instagram.com/gamian_europe?igsh=MTVqZzd1cmNlNWk5Mw%3D%3D

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg dive into Sean Frank's Inman article, "NAR and the Real Estate Industry's Relevance Problem." They discuss how outdated MLS technology and excessive bureaucracy are stifling innovation in real estate. From permissioning delays to governance breakdowns, the hosts explore why MLS systems feel stuck in "Windows 95 mode" and debate how consolidation or standardization could spark change. Key Takeaways MLS permissioning and governance are major obstacles to innovation. Outdated tech systems like Matrix and Paragon still dominate the industry. Excessive committee layers make it nearly impossible for startups to launch quickly. Greg proposes a standardized, simplified data licensing process to fast-track innovation. Rob argues the problem stems from bureaucracy, not infrastructure or tech. NAR and CMLS lack the power to enforce national-level reform, leaving MLSs fragmented. Both agree the industry needs "fair permissioning guidelines" similar to standardized contracts in other fields.

When painting outdoors, controlling lighting conditions is critical to achieving accurate color perception and rendering paintings that translate well when viewed indoors. Understanding how natural and artificial light interacts with your workspace and painting surface can greatly influence the final outcome. Below are comprehensive insights and techniques based on years of experience in plein air painting. 1. Qualities of an Effective Umbrella for Outdoor Painting The ideal umbrella used for outdoor painting must be opaque, preventing any light from bleeding through. The top half should be white to reflect sunlight and keep the artist cool during long outdoor sessions. The underside must be black and completely non-reflective to eliminate reflective and key light that can interfere with accurate color observation. Using an umbrella that allows light to pass or reflect will distort the lighting environment and complicate color matching. 2. The Problem with Transparent Umbrellas Transparent umbrellas permit excessive light penetration, creating an inconsistent and overly bright environment around the painting area. This excessive light causes glare and reflections on the palette and canvas, making it difficult to judge true colors and values. The uncontrolled light increases the brightness and washes out subtle color transitions, resulting in less accurate color representation during the painting process. 3. Impacts of Excessive Light Exposure on Paintings Viewed Indoors When painted under very bright light outdoors, the colors and luminosity in a painting can become misleading. Paintings created in these over-illuminated conditions often appear darker or poorly balanced when viewed under typical indoor lighting. This happens because the artist may adjust colors to compensate for the intense outdoor light, leading to undervalued color chroma and less vibrancy indoors. 4. Ideal Studio Lighting for Accurate Color Perception The best studio lighting environment features a relatively low light level, such as a 60-watt bulb controlled with an in-line dimmer switch. Less light in the studio environment encourages the artist to "push" the light and luminosity into the painting consciously. This controlled and dimmed lighting environment helps reveal true color relationships and avoids the deceptive brightness that causes color distortions. 5. Advantages of Painting Under Lower Light Conditions Paintings created under lower light conditions often appear more vibrant and luminous when viewed indoors because the artist uses higher chroma and contrast to compensate for reduced light levels. This practice results in richer, more glowing colors that maintain their intensity under a range of lighting conditions. Lower light training also enhances the artist's sensitivity to subtle tonal variations. 6. Misconceptions About Bright Studio Lighting Contrary to popular belief, bright lighting in a studio is detrimental to color accuracy. Excessive brightness leads artists to lower chroma values in their palette to counterbalance the intense illumination, which unintentionally causes the paintings to appear darker and more muted when seen under normal or dimmer lighting conditions. 7. How a 60-Watt or Lower Light Source Improves Color Perception Using a lower wattage light source improves color and luminosity perception by limiting excessive brightness that can blind the eye to subtle hues. It enables an artist to focus on tonal relationships carefully, producing paintings with a balanced color range and lively surface quality. Dimmer lighting conditions enhance the perception of glow and depth in a painting. 8.

Are you paranoid about drinking enough water? Constantly carrying that gallon jug with timestamps telling you how much to drink by 9 AM, by noon, by 3 PM? Dr. Leslie breaks down the myth that migraine sufferers need to drink excessive amounts of water to avoid dehydration triggers. The truth? That "drink 64 ounces a day" recommendation from the 90s came from nowhere. There's zero research behind it. And now people are being told to drink even more. Here's what's actually happening: When you flood your body with water, you create a relative mineral deficiency. Your kidneys struggle to filter all that excess fluid while trying to hold onto essential minerals like sodium and potassium. If you're already mineral deficient (especially if you take acid blockers like Prilosec or Tums), you're literally flushing minerals out through your urine. Dr. Leslie reveals what she's found working with hundreds of clients: When your body is in a state of health, you only need about 40 ounces of water per day, around four cups. Your natural thirst will guide you to drink what you need. Excessive thirst is actually a symptom. It usually means your body is trying to dilute an overload of metabolic waste and toxins. As her clients restore their health, their thirst normalizes, and they stop waking up to urinate multiple times per night. If you'd like to understand what your symptoms are actually telling you and address the root cause instead of force-feeding yourself water out of fear, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations.

The best meal to prevent a heart attack or stroke will also help clean your arteries! Support cardiovascular health naturally by consuming the top foods for stroke and heart attack prevention that also help prevent blocked arteries. Did you know that clots cause 80%-90% of heart attacks and 87%-91% of strokes? This is why the top foods for stroke and heart attack prevention also help clean your arteries.Typically, when a clot forms, it dissolves within minutes or hours. This is a normal survival mechanism and does not cause heart attacks or strokes. When the normal clotting process becomes dysfunctional, you can develop blocked arteries.Dysfunctional clotting typically starts from a leak in your gums or gut when endotoxins enter the body. Excess iron can contribute to the problem. Pathogens need iron to survive. Excessive free iron can feed and amplify endotoxins, thereby awakening dormant pathogenic microbes.Excess iron typically comes from fortified foods, such as bread, pasta, cereal, and ultra-processed carbs. If you need iron, it's best to get it from red meat rather than a supplement. Stress increases adrenaline, which can amplify the effects of pathogens and cause them to consume more iron.

In this episode, Jim Murphy, New York Times bestselling author, shares how leaders can build resilience, reframe fear, and operate at their highest level under pressure. His approach blends performance psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual discipline. 1. Identity Beyond Roles Murphy emphasizes the risk of anchoring identity in professional roles or achievements: “When I lost baseball due to injury, I felt like I lost everything. My whole identity was wrapped up in that role.” For executives and consultants, this is a reminder: leadership requires identity that outlasts titles, deals, or short-term wins. Anchoring in deeper values creates long-term stability. 2. Fear as a Performance Constraint Murphy defines fear as “a byproduct of self-centeredness.” The executive cost is high: constant comparison, judgment, and anxiety undermine decision-making. He identifies three key obstacles to peak performance: Excessive, scattered thoughts Negative or judgmental self-talk Concern with others' opinions “When you're at your very best … there's no concern for self. You're totally caught up in the moment.” This mirrors what elite consultants and CEOs must practice: focus on the work, not the ego. 3. Rewiring Fear and Trauma Murphy reframes fear and phobias: “Phobias are your subconscious working perfectly to protect you.” Through structured methods and neuroplasticity, leaders can “rewire” how they respond to past failures and pressure. “You can have a phobia for 50 years, and it can be gone in less than an hour.” For executives, the takeaway is clear: performance limits are rarely permanent, they can be retrained. 4. Freedom Through Surrender and Detachment Murphy shares a practical mantra he learned from an athlete he trained: “I expect nothing. I can handle anything.” This principle strips away attachment to outcomes, freeing leaders to make bolder, less ego-driven decisions. As he puts it: “The most powerful thing anyone can do is surrender their little strength for the power that grows the grass and spins the earth.” For leaders, this translates into resilience, the ability to operate under uncertainty without fear of reputational or financial loss clouding judgment. 5. The Best Possible Life (and Career) Murphy notes: “The best possible life has one foot in joy and one foot in suffering. We can't gain wisdom without going through hard things.” For high performers, this is a critical leadership principle: growth requires discomfort. A career without setbacks yields little wisdom. 6. Practical Tools Leaders Can Use Murphy provides several techniques executives can adopt immediately: Breath control: slowing to 5–6 breaths per minute to stabilize thought patterns under pressure. Structured reflection: gratitude, presence, and visualization as part of a daily routine. Ego discipline: exercises that reduce the need for external validation and increase clarity in communication.   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Get Exclusive Episode 1 Access of How to Build a Consulting Practice: www.firmsconsulting.com/build   Enjoying this episode?

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explores why some patients fail to find lasting relief from headaches and migraines—even when they have access to the right treatment. Drawing from years of clinical experience, he explains how recovery often depends less on quick fixes and more on mindset, consistency, and trust in the healing process.Dr. Taves highlights three major barriers that can keep patients from improving:A short-term mindset — expecting immediate results instead of long-term progress.A passive approach — wanting a provider to “fix” the problem without making lifestyle changes.Excessive skepticism — being too critical to fully engage in the treatment process.He compares true healing to building healthy habits—like brushing and flossing your teeth or exercising over time. Success, he says, comes from patience, persistence, and a willingness to take ownership of your health.This episode helps listeners recognize the traits of a good candidate for migraine treatment and how to overcome the habits and attitudes that may be holding them back.Novera: Headache Center

Welcome to episode 176 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast! This week we dive into one of the most important (and often overlooked) phases of the sport: post-show recovery. We kick things off by discussing how we approach weight gain after a show, why the rate of increase matters for health, performance, and long-term physique outcomes, and how we personally manage step counts, cardio, and food intake to find a sustainable level of leanness. From there, we share how we navigate the mental side of the recovery phase, regaining control around food, taking the pressure off macro tracking, and finding joy in training again outside of a prep context. Finally, we chat about how we set up our off-seasons to be productive and enjoyable, focusing on maximising muscle growth. If you're coming out of prep or planning your next season, this ones certainly for you!

AI is reshaping industries at a rapid pace, but as its influence grows, so do the ethical concerns that come with it.   This episode examines how AI is being applied across sectors such as healthcare, finance, and retail, while also exploring the crucial issue of ensuring that these technologies align with human values.   In this conversation, Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham are joined by Hemant Gahankari, Senior Principal OCI Instructor, who emphasizes the importance of fairness, inclusivity, transparency, and accountability in AI systems.   AI for You: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/ai-for-you/152601/   Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/   X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   ---------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript:   00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hey everyone! In our last episode, we spoke about how Oracle integrates AI capabilities into its Fusion Applications to enhance business workflows, and we focused on Predictive, Generative, and Agentic AI. Lois: Today, we'll discuss the various applications of AI. This is the final episode in our AI series, and before we close, we'll also touch upon ethical and responsible AI.  01:01 Nikita: Taking us through all of this is Senior Principal OCI Instructor Hemant Gahankari. Hi Hemant! AI is pretty much everywhere today. So, can you explain how it is being used in industries like retail, hospitality, health care, and so on?  Hemant: AI isn't just for sci-fi movies anymore. It's helping doctors spot diseases earlier and even discover new drugs faster. Imagine an AI that can look at an X-ray and say, hey, there is something sketchy here before a human even notices. Wild, right? Banks and fintech companies are all over AI. Fraud detection. AI has got it covered. Those robo advisors managing your investments? That's AI too. Ever noticed how e-commerce companies always seem to know what you want? That's AI studying your habits and nudging you towards that next purchase or binge watch. Factories are getting smarter. AI predicts when machines will fail so they can fix them before everything grinds to a halt. Less downtime, more efficiency. Everyone wins. Farming has gone high tech. Drones and AI analyze crops, optimize water use, and even help with harvesting. Self-driving cars get all the hype, but even your everyday GPS uses AI to dodge traffic jams. And if AI can save me from sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I'm all for it. 02:40 Nikita: Agreed! Thanks for that overview, but let's get into specific scenarios within each industry.  Hemant: Let us take a scenario in the retail industry-- a retail clothing line with dozens of brick-and-mortar stores. Maintaining proper inventory levels in stores and regional warehouses is critical for retailers. In this low-margin business, being out of a popular product is especially challenging during sales and promotions. Managers want to delight shoppers and increase sales but without overbuying. That's where AI steps in. The retailer has multiple information sources, ranging from point-of-sale terminals to warehouse inventory systems. This data can be used to train a forecasting model that can make predictions, such as demand increase due to a holiday or planned marketing promotion, and determine the time required to acquire and distribute the extra inventory. Most ERP-based forecasting systems can produce sophisticated reports. A generative AI report writer goes further, creating custom plain-language summaries of these reports tailored for each store, instructing managers about how to maximize sales of well-stocked items while mitigating possible shortages. 04:11 Lois: Ok. How is AI being used in the hospitality sector, Hemant? Hemant: Let us take an example of a hotel chain that depends on positive ratings on social media and review websites. One common challenge they face is keeping track of online reviews, leading to missed opportunities to engage unhappy customers complaining on social media. Hotel managers don't know what's being said fast enough to address problems in real-time. Here, AI can be used to create a large data set from the tens of thousands of previously published online reviews. A textual language AI system can perform a sentiment analysis across the data to determine a baseline that can be periodically re-evaluated to spot trends. Data scientists could also build a model that correlates these textual messages and their sentiments against specific hotel locations and other factors, such as weather. Generative AI can extract valuable suggestions and insights from both positive and negative comments. 05:27 Nikita: That's great. And what about Financial Services? I know banks use AI quite often to detect fraud. Hemant: Unfortunately, fraud can creep into any part of a bank's retail operations. Fraud can happen with online transactions, from a phone or browser, and offsite ATMs too. Without trust, banks won't have customers or shareholders. Excessive fraud and delays in detecting it can violate financial industry regulations. Fraud detection combines AI technologies, such as computer vision to interpret scanned documents, document verification to authenticate IDs like driver's licenses, and machine learning to analyze patterns. These tools work together to assess the risk of fraud in each transaction within seconds. When the system detects a high risk, it triggers automated responses, such as placing holds on withdrawals or requesting additional identification from customers, to prevent fraudulent activity and protect both the business and its client. 06:42 Nikita: Wow, interesting. And how is AI being used in the health industry, especially when it comes to improving patient care? Hemant: Medical appointments can be frustrating for everyone involved—patients, receptionists, nurses, and physicians. There are many time-consuming steps, including scheduling, checking in, interactions with the doctors, checking out, and follow-ups. AI can fix this problem through electronic health records to analyze lab results, paper forms, scans, and structured data, summarizing insights for doctors with the latest research and patient history. This helps practice reduced costs, boost earnings, and deliver faster, more personalized care. 07:32 Lois: Let's take a look at one more industry. How is manufacturing using AI? Hemant: A factory that makes metal parts and other products use both visual inspections and electronic means to monitor product quality. A part that fails to meet the requirements may be reworked or repurposed, or it may need to be scrapped. The factory seeks to maximize profits and throughput by shipping as much good material as possible, while minimizing waste by detecting and handling defects early. The way AI can help here is with the quality assurance process, which creates X-ray images. This data can be interpreted by computer vision, which can learn to identify cracks and other weak spots, after being trained on a large data set. In addition, problematic or ambiguous data can be highlighted for human inspectors. 08:36 Oracle University's Race to Certification 2025 is your ticket to free training and certification in today's hottest tech. Whether you're starting with Artificial Intelligence, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Oracle Data Platform, this challenge covers it all!

But I'm sure AI has its constraints too, right? Can you talk about what happens if AI isn't able to echo human ethics?  Hemant: AI can fail due to lack of ethics.  AI can spot patterns, not make moral calls. It doesn't feel guilt, understand context, or take responsibility. That is still up to us.  Decisions are only as good as the data behind them. For example, health care AI underdiagnosing women because research data was mostly male. Artificial narrow intelligence tends to automate discrimination at scale. Recruiting AI downgraded resumes just because it had a word "women's" (for example, women's chess club). Who is responsible when AI fails? For example, if a self-driving car hits someone, we cannot blame the car. Then who owns the failure? The programmer? The CEO? Can we really trust corporations or governments having programmed the use of AI not to be evil correctly? So, it's clear that AI needs oversight to function smoothly. 10:48 Lois: So, Hemant, how can we design AI in ways that respect and reflect human values? Hemant: Think of ethics like a tree. It needs all parts working together. Roots represent intent. That is our values and principles. The trunk stands for safeguards, our systems, and structures. And the branches are the outcomes we aim for. If the roots are shallow, the tree falls. If the trunk is weak, damage seeps through. The health of roots and trunk shapes the strength of our ethical outcomes. Fairness means nothing without ethical intent behind it. For example, a bank promotes its loan algorithm as fair. But it uses zip codes in decision-making, effectively penalizing people based on race. That's not fairness. That's harm disguised as data. Inclusivity depends on the intent sustainability. Inclusive design isn't just a check box. It needs a long-term commitment. For example, controllers for gamers with disabilities are only possible because of sustained R&D and intentional design choices. Without investment in inclusion, accessibility is left behind. Transparency depends on the safeguard robustness. Transparency is only useful if the system is secure and resilient. For example, a medical AI may be explainable, but if it is vulnerable to hacking, transparency won't matter. Accountability depends on the safeguard privacy and traceability. You can't hold people accountable if there is no trail to follow. For example, after a fatal self-driving car crash, deleted system logs meant no one could be held responsible. Without auditability, accountability collapses. So remember, outcomes are what we see, but they rely on intent to guide priorities and safeguards to support execution. That's why humans must have a final say. AI has no grasp of ethics, but we do. 13:16 Nikita: So, what you're saying is ethical intent and robust AI safeguards need to go hand in hand if we are to truly leverage AI we can trust. Hemant: When it comes to AI, preventing harm is a must. Take self-driving cars, for example. Keeping pedestrians safe is absolutely critical, which means the technology has to be rock solid and reliable. At the same time, fairness and inclusivity can't be overlooked. If an AI system used for hiring learns from biased past data, say, mostly male candidates being hired, it can end up repeating those biases, shutting out qualified candidates unfairly. Transparency and accountability go hand in hand. Imagine a loan rejection if the AI's decision isn't clear or explainable. It becomes impossible for someone to challenge or understand why they were turned down. And of course, robustness supports fairness too. Loan approval systems need strong security to prevent attacks that could manipulate decisions and undermine trust.  We must build AI that reflects human values and has safeguards. This makes sure that AI is fair, inclusive, transparent, and accountable.  14:44 Lois: Before we wrap, can you talk about why AI can fail? Let's continue with your analogy of the tree. Can you explain how AI failures occur and how we can address them? Hemant: Root elements like do not harm and sustainability are fundamental to ethical AI development. When these roots fail, the consequences can be serious. For example, a clear failure of do not harm is AI-powered surveillance tools misused by authoritarian regimes. This happens because there were no ethical constraints guiding how the technology was deployed. The solution is clear-- implement strong ethical use policies and conduct human rights impact assessment to prevent such misuse. On the sustainability front, training AI models can consume massive amount of energy. This failure occurs because environmental costs are not considered. To fix this, organizations are adopting carbon-aware computing practices to minimize AI's environmental footprint. By addressing these root failures, we can ensure AI is developed and used responsibly with respect for human rights and the planet. An example of a robustness failure can be a chatbot hallucinating nonexistent legal precedence used in court filings. This could be due to training on unverified internet data and no fact-checking layer. This can be fixed by grounding in authoritative databases. An example of a privacy failure can be AI facial recognition database created without user consent. The reason being no consent was taken for data collection. This can be fixed by adopting privacy-preserving techniques. An example of a fairness failure can be generated images of CEOs as white men and nurses as women, minorities. The reason being training on imbalanced internet images reflecting societal stereotypes. And the fix is to use diverse set of images. 17:18 Lois: I think this would be incomplete if we don't talk about inclusivity, transparency, and accountability failures. How can they be addressed, Hemant? Hemant: An example of an inclusivity failure can be a voice assistant not understanding accents. The reason being training data lacked diversity. And the fix is to use inclusive data. An example of a transparency and accountability failure can be teachers could not challenge AI-generated performance scores due to opaque calculations. The reason being no explainability tools are used. The fix being high-impact AI needs human review pathways and explainability built in. 18:04 Lois: Thank you, Hemant, for a fantastic conversation.

Listen to the SF Daily podcast for today, September 23, 2025, with host Lorrie Boyer. These quick and informative episodes cover the commodity markets, weather, and the big things happening in agriculture each morning. The soybean market's weakness is due to Argentina's suspended export taxes, which lowered prices. Despite a rally in tech stocks and concerns over the U.S. economy, crude oil prices dropped due to demand worries. China imported a record 12.3 million metric tons of soybeans in August, with 85% from Brazil and a 31% increase from the U.S. U.S. egg production declined by 2% in August, with a 5% rise in egg-type chicks. The cattle on feed report triggered a bullish response, and the discovery of the New World screw worm near the U.S. border could impact markets. Excessive rain in Kansas increased flood risks.

In this powerful roundtable episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty dives deep into the interconnected layers of healing with three guests who are reshaping the wellness space in unique ways. Tara Wiskow shares her journey from emotional abandonment to reinvention and radical self-trust. Mechelle Wingle explains the transformative practice of “parts work” and how true healing begins with compassionate awareness of all aspects of self. Dr. Roger Wu brings a clinical lens, revealing the silent epidemic of screen-induced eye damage and the emerging science behind eye health in a digital age. This episode explores emotional resilience, the neuroscience of digital burnout, and how reclaiming our inner voice can lead to deep healing. About the Guests:Tara Wiskow is an intuitive healer and life reinvention expert who helps women stop self-abandoning and return to their authentic power.Mechelle Wingle is the founder of The Wholeness Network, blending therapeutic models with ancient wisdom to support inner transformation through parts work.Dr. Roger Wu is a leading optometrist and founder of The Eye Drink, a nutrition-based innovation designed to protect against digital eye strain and promote retinal health. Key Takeaways: Self-abandonment in women is often rooted in trauma and shows up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-giving. “Parts work” or Internal Family Systems helps individuals integrate conflicting internal narratives through compassion, not correction. Excessive screen time is causing early-onset eye issues including dry eye, cataracts, and retinal damage, with mental health implications. True healing begins when we pause, listen to our emotions, and trust the guidance of our inner self. Nutrient support like lutein, zeaxanthin, and Omega-3s can actively protect vision in today's device-heavy lifestyle.

PREVIEW: HEADLINE: Las Vegas Addresses Declining Tourism and High Prices GUEST NAME: Jeff Bliss SUMMARY: Las Vegas tourism is down due to excessive prices ("nickel and diming"). Some casinos are reacting by ending resort fees and offering Vegas locals 25% off to attract visitors.

Unity is acting together even when we don't think alike. And one of the primary aims of the American Constitution is to support a democracy of those unified in diversity. Yuval Levin joins Mark Labberton to explore the precarious state of American constitutional life and the imbalance of power between the branches of the U.S. government. Drawing from his book America's Covenant, Levin argues that the Founders designed the Constitution above all to preserve unity in a divided society. Yet today, he warns, the imbalance of power—particularly the weakness of Congress and the rise of presidential authority—threatens democratic legitimacy. In this conversation, Levin reflects on originalism, the courts, Donald Trump's expanding influence, and the dangers of both passivity and autocracy. With clarity and urgency, he calls for renewed civic engagement and for Congress to reclaim its central role. Episode Highlights “Unity doesn't mean thinking alike. Unity means acting together. And the question for a modern political society is how do we act together when we don't think alike?” “The biggest problem we have is that Congress is under-active, radically under-active and has turned itself into a spectator.” “The president is in charge of the executive branch, but the executive branch is not in charge of the American government.” “I am very concerned about this kind of Caesar-ism. I think it is very dangerous.” “What we're seeing is constitutional creep, where the president is pushing and nobody's pushing back, and only Congress can do it.” “I worry a lot about Donald Trump. But the reason I worry is because Congress isn't doing its job.” “The politics of an autocratic state is a politics of spectators, and we just cannot become spectators.” “All of us will find ourselves in the minority sooner or later.” Helpful Links and Resources America's Covenant: The Constitution and the Path to National Unity, by Yuval Levin American Enterprise Institute (Find Yuval Levin's current research and publications) *New York Times Opinion* – Yuval Levin's columns at the New York Times About Yuval Levin Yuval Levin is director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he also holds the Beth and Ravenel Curry Chair in Public Policy. He is the founder and editor of National Affairs, senior editor of The New Atlantis, a contributing editor at National Review, and a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times. He is the author of several books on political theory and public policy, most recently American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation—and Could Again (Basic Books, 2024), which examines the U.S. Constitution through the lens of national unity in a divided society. Show Notes Constitutional unity and division Yuval Levin summarizes America's Covenant as a reintroduction to the Constitution framed around the challenge of unity in diversity. “Unity doesn't mean thinking alike. Unity means acting together.” The Constitution prioritizes bargaining, negotiation, and legitimacy over efficiency. Congress was designed as the “first branch” of government to embody pluralism and force compromise. The decline of Congress and rise of the presidency Levin argues Congress is radically under-active, ceding ground to presidents and courts. “The biggest problem we have is that Congress is under-active, radically under-active and has turned itself into a spectator.” Excessive focus on the presidency erodes democratic legitimacy. Current frustrations stem from misunderstanding the system's design: it resists narrow majorities and forces broad coalitions. Courts, originalism, and the unitary executive Levin affirms he is an originalist: “a philosophy of judicial interpretation … a mode of self-restraint for judges.” Supreme Court decisions in recent years repeatedly signal: “Congress, do your job.” He outlines the unitary executive theory: the president controls the executive branch, but not the government as a whole. “The president is in charge of the executive branch, but the executive branch is not in charge of the American government.” Trump's expanding power Levin warns of the growing push to centralize authority in the presidency. “I am very concerned about this kind of Caesar-ism. I think it is very dangerous.” Trump's second term differs because restraints have vanished; his circle now encourages unrestrained executive action. Disruption of long-held norms has weakened trust in American institutions globally and domestically. Constitutional crisis vs. constitutional creep Levin distinguishes between “creep,” “conflict,” and “crisis.” He argues the U.S. is experiencing constitutional creep: unchecked executive power without Congress pushing back. True crisis would involve direct defiance of the courts—something still possible but not yet realized. The role of citizens and civic responsibility Levin stresses the danger of passivity: “The politics of an autocratic state is a politics of spectators, and we just cannot become spectators.” Citizens should keep writing to Congress, vote with clear expectations, and engage in local governance. State legislatures, though less visible, often function better than Congress today. Clear thinking itself, Levin suggests, is a moral act for a healthy republic.

Investigators into the suspected murderer of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, say that Robinson was a regular user of the online internet app called "Discord" and communicated with friends there before and after the shooting of the political commentator. Professionals say that excessive internet use can create a vacuum and their internet spaces become their reality as they use them more. Greg and Holly speak to KSL 5 Reporter Mike Anderson, about what he learned when exploring use of platforms like discord.

Livestock market operators in Wisconsin are pushing back against a proposed fee increase by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, calling it "excessive" with hikes as high as 1700 percent. Jim Matthes of Matthes Farms Auction Market in Viola says his family's small business can't absorb the cost and would be forced to raise commissions, passing the burden onto farmers and consumers. He argues that the decline in cattle volume and shrinking number of farms already strain margins. Matthes urges lawmakers to intervene, pointing out that federal funding hasn't decreased and neighboring states have far lower fees. He warns the increase could drive business across state lines, costing Wisconsin both revenue and regulatory oversight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Excessive consumption is one of the leading killers of the world, and it is further empowered by greedy capitalism. Ali Horriyat leads the charge in transforming today's profit-driven world and fostering a more compassionate society. He joins Corinna Bellizzi once again to talk about his non-profit organization Compassiviste and his book “Beyond Greed.” He explores the concept of Transformation by Investment (TBI) and how it can lead to long-term societal well-being. Ali also discusses the differences between greed and selfishness, how to assess your own consumption habits, and how profit-driven businesses can learn to prioritize building a more humane economy.About Guest:Compassiviste's Founder Ali Horriyat left the lucrative, profit-driven world of finance in 2016, donating his wealth, to devote himself to his vision of a society where compassion, empathy, and social impact are at the heart of our actions. In 2020, he launched Compassiviste to spread this vision. Born in Dubai, he attended schools in the UAE, France, and Switzerland before pursuing his higher education in Canada and the USA. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in economics, political science, philosophy, business, international relations and conflict resolution, and religion. Ali is the author of 25 books, including short stories, collections of essays, and poetry, with themes ranging from racism and capitalism to spirituality, music, and compassion.

The Famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine: An Anatomy of the Holodomor (CIUS Press, 2018) is a distillation of thirty years of study of the topic by one of Ukraine's leading historians. In this account, Stanislav Kulchytsky ably incorporates a vast array of sources and literature that have become available in the past three decades into a highly readable narrative, explaining the motives, circumstances and course of this terrible crime against humanity. As the author shows, the Holodomor was triggered by the Bolshevik effort to build a communist socioeconomic order in the Soviet Union. For the peasant majority of the population, this meant the forcible collectivization of individual farms, the seizure of livestock and farm implements, and the conversion of independent farmers into agricultural laborers. Excessive requisitioning of grain and other foodstuffs in the collectivization drive led to famine and deaths in grain-producing regions of the USSR by early 1932. In Ukraine, punitive measures authorized by the Kremlin's top leadership greatly worsened the famine in late 1932 and turned it into the Holodomor, which claimed more than three million lives in the first half of 1933. Identifying key events and decisions that produced the Holodomor, Kulchytsky analyzes economic and political factors, including the national dimension in Ukraine. The book begins with the author's address to the reader, presenting his view of the Holodomor as genocide. In addition to the main text, the volume includes a preface, afterword, glossary, list of abbreviations and acronyms, bibliography, and a short essay on the author and his writings. The Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine: An Anatomy of the Holodomor was prepared for publication by the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium (HREC) of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Alberta. HREC undertook the translation of Stanislav Kulchytsky's monograph Ukraïns'kyi holodomor v konteksti polityky Kremlia pochatku 1930 rr. as part of its efforts to make available in English seminal works by Ukrainian scholars of the Holodomor.

What if eating sugar could actually help you burn fat, sleep better, and transform your body after 40?   In this explosive episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with fitness legend Shaun Hadsall, better known as The Ripped Grandpa, to break down the truth behind The Sugar Diet, a controversial but powerful nutritional strategy that's blowing up in the fitness world.   Shaun shares the science behind how sugar (yes, sugar) can be strategically used to ignite fat loss, boost metabolism, and support muscle retention, especially for men in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. The conversation dives deep into the real cause of obesity, the hormone FGF21, and how sugar, when isolated from fat and protein, can actually heal your metabolism instead of destroy it.   If you've tried keto, low-carb, or intermittent fasting and still feel stuck... this episode will completely rewire how you think about food, discipline, and fat loss.   Frank also shares his personal results using The Sugar Diet, including improvements in energy, fat loss, and sleep, without restriction or burnout.    

Forrest and Dr. Rick discuss what's really wrong with the self-help industry, going beyond the obvious pseudoscience and snake oil to examine deeper structural issues. They explore the industry's mixed-bag focus on individual responsibility, the risks of turning healing into a never-ending project, performative personal growth, narcissism, social media and capitalism, and honest striving vs. hustle culture. They also talk about their personal experiences navigating our relationship to the industry. Throughout, Rick and Forrest emphasize finding the middle path: balancing agency with awareness, growth with acceptance, and sincerity with skepticism.
