The Department of the Navy is using AI across a range of mission areas. In the intelligence domain, the service is moving AI beyond experimental phases and integrating trustworthy AI into all warfighting functions, Christopher Page, deputy director of OPNAV's Intelligence Division, said on AI GovCast. Page said data quality depends on agreed-upon terms for modeling adversary and friendly forces. For AI implementation to be effective, he said, the Navy must adhere to a common taxonomy and lexicon, noting that "a cruiser needs to be a cruiser, a rowboat needs to be a rowboat." He added that the ultimate goal of the Navy's digital transformation is a hybrid fleet. The future force will feature expanded AI use across the department, autonomous systems that require less bandwidth, and integrated operations between manned and unmanned platforms.

Explore Your Personality: https://PersonalityHacker.com    In this episode, Joel and Antonia answer listener questions, using them to clarify common misunderstandings about cognitive functions, especially why Sensation (Extraverted Sensing) can look action-oriented and how it differs from (Effectiveness) Extraverted Thinking. They also dig into bigger themes like what wisdom really is, how certainty and uncertainty show up across shadow functions, and what happens when your upbringing suppresses a core preference like Exploration (Extraverted Intuition). Along the way, they respond to a few memorable comments, reflect on how their content and delivery have evolved over the years, and share why they are leaning more into writing and experiential learning.

Oxytocin has become known for having anti-anxiety and affiliative behavioral effects. That's why clinicians and researchers are excited about using oxytocin as a potential therapeutic. Brian Trainor is a professor at UC Davis, and his lab has been studying this complexity for the past decade. For an animal model, they work with a territorial, aggressive, monogamous rodent species called California mice. If the male is removed and the female is forced to defend their nest, she will experience what's known as social defeat, and she will exhibit what's called inhibited affiliative behavior, the type that can be affected by oxytocin — and this effect can be studied in a mouse's brain.Read the full study here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-026-02352-y Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Care Ministry Podcast, host Laura Howe is joined by Rebecca Bailey for a rich conversation on how spiritual formation functions as preventative care within church care ministries. Together, they explore why care and formation cannot be separated, how spiritual formation shows up across Hope Made Strong's five-part Model of Care (self, community, peer, pastoral, and professional), and why care is less about fixing problems and more about being present and becoming formed alongside one another. This episode invites leaders to move beyond reactive care toward cultivating cultures that sustain people before crisis hits. Quotes “If in our care ministries we're focused on the doing and the fixing, then we will miss the being and the becoming.” –Rebecca Bailey “Spiritual formation is happening on the inside and the outside—it's circular. What happens between us forms us.” –Rebecca Bailey “Care has historically been reactive in the church. Spiritual formation helps us think about care as preventative.” –Laura Howe “Spiritual formation isn't about adding more programs. It's about becoming more intentional with what's already happening.” –Rebecca Bailey “Good spiritual formation in care ministries keeps teams from absorbing what they were never meant to carry.” –Rebecca Bailey Resources Hope Made Strong Book Club HMS Amazong store

Ever asked yourself "what if what I like doesn't actually look good on me?"   If you're an ENFP, INFP, ENTP, or INTP, this question probably feels familiar. Your cognitive functions are creating doubt, but here's what you need to know: your genuine aesthetic preferences and what actually works for you align more than you think.   Understanding your cognitive functions helps you see why you doubt yourself and why that doubt might be misplaced.   Check out the FREE video masterclass: The Myers-Briggs Key to Signature Style.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Today's topic isn't a weapon, an enemy, or even a location. It's something much bigger. It's the backbone of how the world works, how Replicas think, and how you, as the player, will shape Zura into your own version of a hero. Today, we're talking about Protocols!https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez. Executive Producer: Kendall Quinoñes.

AWS Lambda is fantastic for small, stateless code on demand. But when your “function” starts looking like a workflow (retries, backoff, long waits, human approvals, callbacks), classic Lambda patterns can feel like a fight: 15-minute max runtime, no built-in state, and orchestration glue everywhere (Step Functions, queues, schedules, and state you did not want to own). In this episode of AWS Bites, Eoin and Luciano explore AWS Lambda Durable Functions, announced at re:Invent 2025. It's still Lambda (same runtimes and scaling), but with durable execution superpowers: named steps, automatic checkpointing, and the ability to suspend and resume from a safe point without redoing completed work. We unpack the replay/resume model under the hood, when this approach shines, and the gotchas (determinism, idempotency, replay-aware logging, debugging resumed runs). To make it real, we share how we rebuilt PodWhisperer v2 using Durable Functions to orchestrate a GPU-powered WhisperX pipeline, LLM refinement, speaker naming, and caption generation.In this episode, we mentioned the following resources: AWS announcement blog post: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/build-multi-step-applications-and-ai-workflows-with-aws-lambda-durable-functions/ Durable Functions best practices: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/durable-best-practices.html The replay model deep dive (Dev.to): https://dev.to/aws/the-replay-model-how-aws-lambda-durable-functions-actually-work-2a79 Build workflows that last (Dev.to): https://dev.to/aws/aws-lambda-durable-functions-build-workflows-that-last-3ac7 Testing Durable Functions in TypeScript (Dev.to): https://dev.to/aws/testing-aws-lambda-durable-functions-in-typescript-5bj2 Developing Durable Functions with AWS SAM (Dev.to): https://dev.to/aws/developing-aws-lambda-durable-functions-with-aws-sam-ga9 Hands-on notes: https://www.andmore.dev/blog/lambda_durable_functions/ PodWhisperer (open source): https://github.com/fourTheorem/podwhisperer/ WhisperX: https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX Do you have any AWS questions you would like us to address?Leave a comment here or connect with us on X/Twitter, BlueSky or LinkedIn:- https://twitter.com/eoins | https://bsky.app/profile/eoin.sh | https://www.linkedin.com/in/eoins/- https://twitter.com/loige | https://bsky.app/profile/loige.co | https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucianomammino/

Welcome back to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today we're talking about Plane of Elysium—the one afterlife that sounds so good the Dungeon Master has to invent mechanics to stop you from moving there permanently. It's paradise. Your needs are met. You're at peace. You're happy. Too happy. In fact, if you stay too long, you might fail a Wisdom save and decide adventuring, heroism, and saving the multiverse are overrated compared to eternal riverfront property and a Mai Tai. And if that sounds suspiciously like quitting D&D to live in a gated community called "Ecstasy," don't worry—we'll explain why enforced happiness, dragon shift-work, and a giant bone spine gate mean Elysium is still absolutely unhinged. Show Notes What Is Elysium? Elysium is the Neutral Good Outer Plane, positioned between the Beastlands and Arborea. It represents true contentment, rest, and fulfillment, rather than law, chaos, or moral absolutism. Souls here aren't punished, tested, or judged—they're finally allowed to relax. The Core Vibe No labor, no scarcity, no stress. Everything you need is provided. Happiness is genuine—unless you're in the gate town, where it absolutely is not. The Four Layers of Elysium Amoria Gentle meadows, forests, and idyllic towns along the River Oceanus. Every settlement somehow has riverfront property. Biomes get weirder the farther you travel from the river (plains, badlands, deserts… for reasons). Eronia Craggy mountains, harsh winters, rugged terrain. Heaven for dwarves, mountain folk, and anyone who thinks Colorado weather is "nice actually." Belierin (Bellerin) The prison layer of heaven, which is a sentence that should worry you. Holds legendary threats that couldn't be killed: hydras, ancient evils, fallen dukes of Hell. Access is restricted—mostly via the River Oceanus. Perfect setup for a level 20 "heaven jailbreak" campaign. Thalassia Endless ocean dotted with heroic islands. Where the best souls go—or where deities personally abduct you before you die because you're just that good. Eternal tropical vacation, sailing, fishing, and zero capitalism. The River Oceanus A holy river that flows through Elysium and beyond. Functions as a major planar highway connecting multiple Upper Planes. Also conveniently Hydra-proof. Who Lives Here? Guardinals (celestial animal-folk with extreme "Narnia energy") Moon Dogs (the best boys; CR 12; hunt evil; deserve all the treats) Phoenixes, because nobody here is trying to harvest them for profit Numerous deities, including Pelor, Lathander, and Shantaea Pathfinder vs. D&D Pathfinder does have an Elysium—but it's functionally closer to D&D's Arborea. Same name, wildly different vibes. The Gate Town: Ecstasy Located in the Outlands, connected to Elysium. Appears joyful, welcoming, and celebratory… because happiness is magically enforced. Suppressed emotions inevitably explode into violence. Ruled by twin dragons: The Lightcaller (gold dragon, daytime ruler) The Night Whisperer (silver dragon, nighttime ruler) Never seen together. Definitely suspicious. Key Locations in Ecstasy Philosopher's Court – a "safe" place to vent grievances that now regularly turns into Fight Club. Revelhome Inn – run by a Lawful Neutral medusa who turns problem guests into garden statues. The Bone Plinth – a giant spine you climb to reach the gate to Elysium, because nothing says "upper plane" like skeletal horror décor. Planar Mechanics Overwhelming Joy (Optional Rule): Fail repeated Wisdom saves and you refuse to leave Elysium. If forcibly removed, you'll do everything possible to return. Fear effects are weakened. Violence is rare—unless you're in Ecstasy, where it's scheduled. Key Takeaways Elysium is D&D's most tempting afterlife—and the one most likely to derail your campaign. It offers true happiness, not moral judgment or endless labor. The layered structure lets every character imagine their perfect heaven. Belierin quietly turns heaven into an endgame boss rush. Ecstasy proves that enforced happiness is way scarier than honest suffering. Overwhelming Joy is a brilliant narrative mechanic for testing player priorities. If your party reaches Elysium and leaves voluntarily, they are either heroes… or liars. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Would you like to stay healthy until you're 100? For most of us, the answer is, of course, yes. But why do some people live longer, and is it achievable? In this episode, best-selling author and longevity expert Dan Buettner, explores what decades of studying the people who live the longest reveal about health and lifespan. Instead of chasing hacks, the science suggests that a longer life is shaped by everyday food, social habits, and the places people live. We'll look at practical habits seen across the world's blue zones, rare global hotspots where celebrating your 100th birthday is common. Rather than relying on willpower, Dan explains why changing your routine and environment may be easier and more effective. By the end of the episode, you'll have some simple tips to help you start your day like you live in a Blue Zone - and increase your chances of living healthily to 100.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Brian Weiner and Lisa Castro of Family Office Growth Partners. Brian is the firm's Founder & CEO, and for nearly 25 years, he has served as a trusted advisor to successful entrepreneurs and family enterprises in the areas of investment, tax, governance, and philanthropy. Brian began his career in 1996 as the Deputy Trade Commissioner for the Government of Israel, where he facilitated joint ventures/strategic partnerships on behalf of U.S. and Israeli companies. Brian is a serial entrepreneur and a trailblazer in the family office space, with diverse experience at firms including Smith Barney, Allied Advisors, BNY Mellon. Lisa is President of Family Office Services at Family Office Growth Partners. She brings over 30 years of experience serving high-net-worth families, C-suite executives, and influential leaders. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of working with distinguished families to establish independent family offices, supporting CEOs and former government officials in her role as a proactive Chief of Staff. Lisa played a key role in the founding and conceptual development of The Paulson Institute, established by former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson. Brian and Lisa, and their firm Family Office Resource Group, are Advisor members of FOX and we are privileged to have their expertise within our membership community. Outsourcing is a big, and increasingly relevant, topic in our space. Brian and Lisa share their perspectives on outsourcing by families and family offices and highlight some of the prevailing practices in the sector. One of the most common and evergreen questions in this realm is what to outsource and what to build and operate in house. Brian and Lisa shine a light on this question and describe some of the frameworks and criteria family offices and their principles should apply when trying to make this crucial decision. Once the decision to outsource has been made, the key challenge is to figure out how to vet and select the providers who will take over the critical functions for the family office. Brian and Lisa offer practical tips for family office leaders and wealth owners who are in this important early stage of their outsourcing journey. They also provide suggestions for family offices on the ongoing management of their outsourcing relationships, explaining how they should optimally oversee, coordinate, evaluate, and renegotiate these vendor relationships to achieve the best results for the family and the family office operation. Don't miss this highly insightful conversation with two of the most experienced, recognized, and well-connected thought leaders and practitioners in the family office outsourcing space.

Explore Your Personality: https://PersonalityHacker.com    Joel and Antonia explore how our cognitive "lenses" shape what we perceive and how those lenses can become distorted. Using the metaphor of smudged glasses, they dive into each of the four Jungian perceiving functions, examining how past trauma, addiction, projection, and overstimulation can cloud perception and disconnect us from reality.

In this encore episode, we highlight key roles that zinc plays in supporting various aspects of mucosal barrier integrity, while detailing the structure of the intestinal mucosal barrier. We detail key anatomical features, including the mucus layer, epithelial cells, and tight junctions, before discussing zinc's physiological roles, its relationship with copper, and factors that can affect zinc levels. The discussion further details mechanistic features of zinc absorption as well as specialized forms such as zinc carnosine.Topics:1. Introduction - Overview of intestinal hyperpermeability and intestinal barrier function- Highlighting the role of zinc 2. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - Four major layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, serosa- Mucosa subdivisions; focus on epithelium  3. The Mucus Layer  - Location over the epithelial surface- Composition: mucin-rich, secreted by goblet cells- Goblet cell mucin storage and expansion upon hydration- Functions: trapping pathogens, lubricating epithelium, housing molecules including secretory IgA- Small intestine mucus - Large intestine mucus 4. The Intestinal Epithelium - Monolayer of epithelial cells: enterocytes, goblet cells, and more- Tight junctions, paracellular transport - Continuous epithelial renewal 5. Introduction to Zinc - Zinc as a trace mineral required in minute quantities for numerous physiological processes - Second most abundant trace mineral after iron; majority stored in muscle and bone- Maintaining plasma and intracellular zinc concentrations within narrow range- Both deficiency and excess can disrupt biochemical processes 6. Zinc and Copper  - Zinc and copper as closely interconnected minerals- Zinc, copper, and metallothionein binding in enterocytes- Both high and low zinc can disrupt zinc-copper balance- Metallothionein as a cysteine-rich metal-binding protein  7. Factors Affecting Zinc Levels  - Multifactorial- Possible signs of low zinc status 8. Zinc Absorption  - Dietary sources- Primary absorption in small intestine - In the stomach: HCl and pepsin denature proteins and cleave peptide bonds, releasing zinc from protein complexes- Dietary zinc often bound within tertiary protein structure- Specialized transporters  9. Zinc's Role in the Intestinal Barrier  - Zinc and tight junction proteins- Zinc and Intestinal Epithelial Cells - Zinc and the mucus layer 10. Broader Context of Zinc in Physiology   11. Zinc Carnosine  - Molecular complex of zinc and carnosine- L-carnosine composed of beta-alanine and L-histidine- Gastrointestinal context 12. Conclusion - Multifactorial and multi-system.Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

What is the unpardonable sin? In episode two of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff teaches the three major functions Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would fulfill when He came. According to John 16, the Holy Spirit is our helper sent to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This conviction of sin isn't about individual transgressions, but rather the sin of unbelief in Christ. The Holy Spirit reveals our righteousness through faith in Jesus' resurrection, freeing us from the burden of earning our salvation. Finally, the Holy Spirit convicts of judgment, revealing that the devil has been defeated and judged.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

It's episode 110 and KT is bringing her deep love of dragons to the Smoke Circle! While you might think dragons are more likely to be found in fantasy novels and mythology books than in the pages of history, KT explores the cultural significance of dragons across various civilizations, touching on creation myths and the role of dragons in both chaos and order. We'll be talking about the rich symbolism and cultural significance of dragons across different civilizations, particularly contrasting Eastern and Western perspectives as well as how dragons are perceived as benevolent forces in Eastern cultures, while in the West, they often symbolize greed and destruction. So join us for a fun adventure (maybe we'll meet Puff the Magic Dragon along the way??

What is a godly woman / wife to do?

Projection is one of the oldest psychological and psychic manipulation tactics — and it's the backbone of the Lack Matrix, a system built on the lie that there's not enough. In this episode of the Psychic Liberation Series, we explore how projection operates in the psyche, how it's weaponized in politics and religion, and why it's the core cult tactic that keeps humanity divided. When powerful systems “pick up the cause” of the oppressed, they often use moral manipulation — turning empathy into control, forcing guilt, and labeling dissent as evil. This inversion of empathy keeps us psychically trapped in the very hatred and fear we're trying to heal.You'll learn how projection: ✨ Functions psychologically as a defense mechanism and collectively as social control ✨ Fuels the Lack Matrix, the lie of scarcity and unworthiness ✨ Is used by politics and religion to control the moral narrative and colonize meaning ✨ Keeps Empaths and sensitive souls looping in guilt, fear, and false virtue ✨ Can be alchemized through radical self-honesty and sovereigntyThis message is for Empaths, Mystics, Healers, and Witchy Entrepreneurs who are waking up from psychic abuse and reclaiming their creative sovereignty.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  On this episode, I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our possessions connect with our sense of identity and self-concept, and why letting go can feel so threatening for those of us who hoard. We talk through how objects hold meaning, memories, and dreams for the future, and what it looks like to build a stronger sense of self without clinging to things. If you've ever felt like discarding something meant losing a part of yourself, you definitely want to listen to this one. We break down exactly why that fear happens and where to start. A plant pot associated with negative experiences. Discussion of emotional and aesthetic reasons for keeping vs. discarding. Objects “glowering" at us. Identity and Self-Concept in Hoarding Definition of identity and self-concept. Possessions and Sense of Identity The psychological process of possessions intertwining with identity. How this differs from typical sentimental attachment. Retention itself (rather than use or display) as a meaning-making act in hoarding. The difference between identity (roles, characteristics, life story) and self-concept (beliefs about self, worth, and abilities). Typical patterns seen in people with hoarding disorder: fragmented identity, externalised identity via objects. Psychological Fusion Between Identity and Possessions The concept of "identity objects" — how discarding items feels like losing part of oneself. Objects as external proof and storage for identity, memory, and meaning. Safety of objects over human relationships. The cycle of validation and shame in hoarding. Pathways to Possession-Identity Fusion Childhood experiences and boundary violations leading to control needs. Identity confusion and external markers for self-definition. Psychological ownership: objects as self-extension. Functions of retained objects—proof of past, present, and future self. Anthropomorphism and obligations to objects. Executive function challenges: objects as external memory aids. Perfectionism and fantasy identity protection. Influence of cultural materialism and marketing. The Fear of Losing Identity When Discarding Objects "Throwing away part of myself." Three psychological routes for ownership: control, intimate knowledge, and personal investment. The role of control and avoidance of uncertainty. The painful admission of poor judgment (e.g., unworn clothing) when discarding. Possessions as Identity Markers Retaining items from past roles (retired teachers, old job materials). Holding onto objects representing hopes for future identity. Objects as evidence for important life chapters, relationships, or personal history. Psychological needs these objects serve and when that becomes problematic. Books as Proof of Intellectual Identity Discussion of books held as evidence of being intellectual, regardless of actual reading. Exploration of how objects can become substitutes for action and risk. Therapeutic approach to shifting identity building from possession to action. Community and Connection in the Hoarding Journey The loneliness and isolation frequently felt by people who hoard. The importance of community, connection, and peer support, including podcast listeners and accountability sessions. Effects of increased openness and connection on identity. Identity Shifts During Dehoarding and Recovery Changes in identity during the process of recovery and letting go. Building new narratives — sometimes research or recovery itself becomes an identity. Increased connection and belonging through shared experience and vulnerability. Maintaining Identity Without Excessive Possession Strategies for building identity through actions, creativity, and lived experience. Selecting representative or truly meaningful items rather than keeping everything. Observing how "non-hoarding" individuals make decisions about sentimental items. Discomfort and growth opportunities in sharing one's journey while still in progress. The value of authenticity and vulnerability. First Steps for Listeners Fearing Loss of Self Through Discarding Acknowledging that fear is rational and understandable. Suggesting mindful observation of attachment thoughts. Testing beliefs by gentle action, e.g., creative tasks with what is already available. Finding supportive people for accountability and encouragement. Reflective work on personal values — building identity from the inside. Reassurance that identity predates possessions and is not dependent on them. Objects as scaffolding rather than the core of one's identity. Encouragement to trust oneself and to start building stability from within.

In this episode, I talk about what we should consider to be a measure function.  Such functions can be used to show termination of some process or program, by assigning a measure to each program, and showing that as the program computes, the measure decreases in some well-founded ordering.  But what should count as a measure function?  The context for this is RTA Open Problem 19, on showing termination for the simply typed lambda calculus using a measure function.Let's call this the start of season 7, because it seems about time for that.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. David Berson, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at Brown University and an expert on the visual system and circadian biology. We explore how the brain processes visual information, from photons entering the eye to conscious perception in the cortex. We discuss color vision, the discovery of melanopsin and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, and how light regulates our circadian clock and melatonin release. We also examine the vestibular system's role in balance and motion detection, the cerebellum's function in motor coordination, and the midbrain's integration of multiple sensory inputs. Finally, we discuss the basal ganglia's role in decision-making and an extraordinary case of neuroplasticity in visual cortex. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
