Jim Manico's passion for secure coding has always been rooted in deeply technical practices—methods that matter most to developers writing code day in and day out. At OWASP Global AppSec EU 2025 Conference in Barcelona, Manico brings that same precision and care to a broader conversation around the intersection of application security and artificial intelligence.While many are still just beginning to assess how AI impacts application development, Manico has been preparing for this moment for years. Two and a half years ago, he saw a shift—traditional low-level technical bugs were being mitigated effectively by mature organizations. The new challenge? Business logic flaws and access control issues that scanners can't easily detect. This change signaled a new direction, prompting him to dive into AI security long before it became fashionable.Now, Manico is delivering AI-flavored AppSec training, helping developers understand the risks of insecure code generated by large language models. His research shows that even the best AI coding tools—from Claude to Copilot—still generate insecure code out of the box. That's where his work becomes transformative: by developing detailed, framework-specific prompts grounded in decades of secure coding knowledge, he has trained these tools to write safer code, using React, Django, Vue, and more.Beyond teaching, he's building. With 200 volunteers, he's leading the creation of the Artificial Intelligence Security Verification Standard (AISVS), a new OWASP project inspired by the well-known Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS). Generated with both AI and human collaboration, the AISVS already has a v0.1 release and aims for a major update by summer.For Manico, this isn't just a technical evolution—it's a personal renaissance. His deep catalog of secure coding techniques, once used primarily for human education, is now fueling a new generation of AI-assisted development. And he's just getting started.This episode isn't just about where AppSec is going. It's a call to developers and security professionals to rethink how we teach, how we build, and how we can use AI to enhance—not endanger—the software we create.Learn more about Manicode: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iNote: This story contains promotional content.

Summary of the Message: “The Song of Mary: What is Your Song?” By Pastor Bryan Hudson, DMin. (Generated by OpenAI) Download Worksheet: “Developing Your Song” What is this kind of “song?” It is a testimonial, a joyful and faith-filled declaration of God's mercy, faithfulness and power in fulfilling His purpose through chosen vessels. Luke 1:46, And Mary said:“My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. 48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. 49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name. 50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty. 54 He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy, 55 As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever.” Pastor Bryan Hudson explores Mary's Song, also known as The Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55), as both a biblical testimony and a model for personal reflection. Mary's declaration of praise to God was not merely a song in the musical sense but a profound testimony of God's mercy, power, and covenant faithfulness. Key Themes of the Message: Your Song is Your Testimony: Like Mary, every believer has a “song”—a personal testimony of God's work in their life. This song is meant to glorify God and bless future generations, not just recount personal experiences. Five Elements of Mary's Song: Rejoicing – Worship and joy in God (v. 46-47) Regarding – Humility in recognizing God's favor (v. 48) Reflecting – Acknowledging God's legacy and mercy through generations (v. 49-50) Revealing – Understanding divine purpose and justice (v. 51-53) Recognition – Remembering God's covenant and faithfulness (v. 54-55) Application to Our Lives: Believers are encouraged to reflect on their own song using these five elements. Worship is more than singing; it is how we live and respond to God. Testimonies should include humility, legacy, purpose, and an awareness of covenant relationship with God. Mary's experience is uniquely maternal, highlighting the vital role of mothers in God's redemptive plan. Broader Biblical Context: Dr. Hudson compares Mary's song to other biblical songs—such as those of Moses, Miriam, Deborah, David, and the redeemed in Revelation—to show that songs often arise from deliverance and divine encounter. Call to Honor Mothers and Recognize Their Role: The message honors the spiritual and physical significance of mothers, encouraging all to show gratitude while mothers are still present. Birth, both physical and spiritual, is tied to God's greater plan and purpose. Final Charge: Dr. Hudson encourages listeners to reflect, write, and live out their own song, as a testimony of God's mercy and purpose in their lives. Mary's song, born of deep spiritual insight and humility, is a pattern for how believers today can shape their impact on the world and future generations.

A research team at University of Galway has revealed that Storm Éowyn generated the highest storm surges ever recorded at key locations on Ireland's western seaboard. By analysing sea level information from 47 datasets provided by the Irish National Tide Gauge Network and the Office of Public Works, the team based at the University's School of Engineering have highlighted the unprecedented power of the storm's surge - more than 2.5 metres above the normal predicted tidal water level. Storm Éowyn, one of the most powerful storms to hit Ireland in recent years, also saw record-breaking winds. The highest gust recorded was 184 km/h, with the highest 10-minute wind speed reaching 142 km/h at Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station in County Galway. Storm Éowyn highest storm surges ever recorded Despite the severity of Storm Éowyn in other ways and the devastation wrought by hurricane force winds and lasting damage to power and water supplies, the timing of the tides during storm landfall meant little to no flooding impacts. The research team highlighted data from three coastal locations during Storm Éowyn - Galway Port, Limerick Docks and Shannon Airport. At Galway Port, the storm surge peaked at 2.60 meters above the normal predicted astronomical tide, the highest ever recorded at this station since its operation began in 2007 At Limerick Docks the highest surge along the western coastline was recorded - reaching 2.99 meters above tidal level At Shannon Airport, the tidal gauge recorded surge of 2.70 meters. Had these surges occurred a week earlier during the high water spring tide, the water levels would have been much higher, with data predicting that the water level at Galway Port would have reached 4.96m, Limerick Dock at 5.85m, and Shannon Airport at 5.43m above mean sea level, inundating the areas. Dr Indiana Olbert, School of Engineering at University of Galway's College of Science and Engineering, said: "Extensive research suggest that flooding has increased in frequency and severity in recent decades around the world and this is attributed to climate change. Our analysis of the drivers of flooding in Ireland show that the anthropogenic climate change - that's the changes related to human activity - will drive more extreme rainfall and generate more intense flooding. Such changes are likely to continue with further warming. In future we will witness more extreme weather events that will result in devastating floods. "Our analysis also shows that a rise in mean sea level rise will significantly increase the risk of coastal flooding in the future. The data we have recovered from the hours around Storm Éowyn shows just how narrowly tens of thousands of people avoided tidal inundation and threats to cities, towns and coastal communities. It is hard to imagine how narrowly we avoided unprecedented storm surge flooding and an inundation, in particular in towns and cities." Dr Niall Madden, Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at University of Galway, said: "In spite of how devastating Storm Éowyn was, in an odd way, we were incredibly lucky. The worst of the storm surge coincided with a low and ebbing tide. Had it hit just a few hours earlier, on a full or flooding tide, Galway could have been dealing with a double disaster of record high winds and record high flooding."

(The Center Square) – In 1996, voters within the Sound Transit District voted to approve "Sound Move," which imposed a variety of local taxes to fund the construction of public transit such as bus lines, commuter trains and light rail. In the years to follow, voters would then approve ST2 in 2008 that added additional taxes or tax increases, followed by voter-approved ST3 in 2016, both of which expand or seek to expand on existing services.

Show Notes: Are Google and Meta Screwed?And does it make any Sense?April 18, 2025OverviewThis week's newsletter delves into a pivotal moment for two of tech's biggest players: Meta and Google. Long dominant through strategic acquisitions and platform control, both are now under intense legal scrutiny. At the same time, a new platform shift—centered on AI—threatens to upend their business models, just as geopolitical forces reshape global markets.Listeners will gain insight into how antitrust battles, legacy acquisitions, AI innovation, and trade wars intersect to challenge the future of these giants. We'll connect disparate articles to reveal patterns that go beyond individual stories.Key TrendsKey Trend 1: Government Antitrust Pressure and Legal BattlesSignificance: After decades of unchecked growth, Meta and Google face unprecedented antitrust scrutiny. The outcomes could reset the rules for digital markets—and determine whether breakups or massive fines become the norm.Talking Point 1: Meta's High-Stakes Trial“In a just world, the FTC has no shot to win this case. The case is so nebulous and weak…”– M.G. Siegler, “The Meta Points of Meta's Trial” (https://spyglass.org/meta-trial/)• Highlights the FTC's challenge: litigating past acquisitions with vague theories of harm.Talking Point 2: Google Guilty in Ad Tech Monopoly“A judge ruled that Google holds a monopolistic position in the technology of online advertising, unfairly harming rivals and advertisers.”– David McCabe, New York Times(https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/technology/google-ad-tech-antitrust-ruling.html)• Marks the second major U.S. court loss for Google in under a year, setting the stage for structural remedies.Key Trend 2: Strategic Platform Shifts and Legacy AcquisitionsSignificance: Meta's survival has hinged on buying Instagram and WhatsApp; now those very deals are under fire. The pattern echoes past shifts—desktop to mobile—and underscores how acquisitions can both secure and imperil platform relevance.Talking Point 1: The Value and Vulnerability of Instagram“Without Instagram, Meta is screwed.”– M.G. Siegler, Spyglass (https://spyglass.org/without-instagram-meta-is-screwed/)• Shows Instagram's ad revenue underpins Meta's funding for new bets (metaverse, AI).Talking Point 2: Echoes of the Mobile Battle“Facebook 2.0 will try to kill Facebook 1.0 and Google 2.0 will try to kill Google 1.0.”– Editorial, “Are Google and Meta Screwed?” (Newsletter for April 11, 2025)• Reminds us how prior platform shifts demanded reinvention—AI may require the same.Key Trend 3: AI‑Driven Disruption and the Next PlatformsSignificance: Just as mobile upended desktop, AI is redrawing the map of search, discovery, and social engagement. Meta and Google must adapt to challengers like OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and novel features such as memory and reasoning.Talking Point 1: AI Search and Discovery Race“OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Grok capture users for AI based search and discovery.”– Editorial, “Are Google and Meta Screwed?”• Signals user migration away from traditional search and feeds.Talking Point 2: The AI Price War and Memory Features“OpenAI slashes prices for GPT‑4.1 by up to 75%, igniting an AI price war among tech giants.”– Bryson Masse, VentureBeat (https://venturebeat.com/ai/gpt-4-1-ai-price-war-developers/)“Claude's memory feature … allows the chatbot to recall details from previous interactions.”– Michael Nuñez, VentureBeat(https://venturebeat.com/ai/claude-just-gained-superpowers-anthropics-ai-can-now-search-your-entire-google-workspace-without-you/)• Underscores how product feature arms races could outflank legacy ad models.Key Trend 4: Global Economic Realignments and Trade WarsSignificance: Tech doesn't operate in a vacuum. Tariffs and nationalism are reshaping supply chains and consumer behavior, with knock‑on effects for digital giants reliant on ad dollars and global audiences.Talking Point 1: Tariffs as a “Tectonic Plate Shift”“Trump's tariffs are part of a broader movement in the global economy which he describes as a ‘tectonic plate shift.'”– Peter R. Orszag, New York Times video (https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010103488/trumps-tariffs-are-part-of-a-tectonic-plate-shift-in-the-global-economy.html)• Reflects how trade policy uncertainty seeps into tech investment and consumer prices.Talking Point 2: The End of Globalism vs Economic Globalization“Globalisation as we've known it for the past couple of decades has come to an end.”– Frank Furedi, Spiked (https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/04/15/the-end-of-globalism-is-nigh/)• Positions economic nationalism alongside persistent interdependence—tech firms must navigate both.Discussion QuestionsHow do the FTC's and DOJ's strategies against Meta and Google reflect a shift in government confidence and capability to regulate tech giants?Would breaking up Instagram and WhatsApp—or forcing Google to divest its ad tech—spur innovation or simply weaken platforms in an era of AI competition?In what ways has the shift from mobile to AI mirrored past platform transitions, and what lessons should Meta and Google apply as they pursue “2.0” strategies?Is the AI price war (GPT‑4.1 cuts, Claude memory, Grok features) a sustainable model for developers and businesses, or will it erode margins across the ecosystem?Do Trump's tariffs and rising economic nationalism ultimately strengthen China's tech incumbents (Huawei, Temu, Shein) more than they pressure U.S. companies? (Controversial)With visionaries like Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk calling to “delete all IP law,” how should tech firms balance creator rights against AI training needs? (Controversial) 7. How does the narrative of “the end of globalism” influence Big Tech's investment in international expansion and localized product strategies?Closing IdeasMeta and Google stand at a crossroads: legal rulings threaten their core business structures while AI challengers redefine user engagement.Their historic playbook—acquiring emerging rivals and evolving ad models—now collides with fast‑moving technology, activist regulators, and geopolitical headwinds.Final Thought: Survival for these giants will depend on agility—embracing AI as the next platform, rethinking past acquisitions, and navigating a world where borders, both digital and national, are being redrawn.Generated on 4/18/2025 with Newsletter Creator This is a public episode.

In 2019, iScribeHealth recognized that AI could produce accurate doctors' notes, and that the company would no longer need the 120 human scribes it was offering clients. But it kept the leading experts among those scribes to work closely with them to review the notes being generated by AI to make sure they could reproduce the physician's style as well as documenting the information being recorded accurately.According to iScribeHealth CEO & Co-founder Pat Williams, intensive personal attention to the physicians being onboarded is a differentiating advantage for the company. Fast results (“speed to value”) is another differentiator, and deep integration with EHRs is a third.Learn more about iScribeHealth: https://www.iscribehealth.com/Health IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

The interwoven threads of faith and liberty form the essential fabric of American democracy—but what happens when one thread is pulled away? Jesse Cope tackles this profound question by exploring the wisdom of James 4, alongside penetrating observations from Alexis de Tocqueville and Robert Winthrop about America's foundation.Diving into James 4, Jesse examines our tendency to rush God's timing and the "dumpster fires" we create when impatience overrides trust. The chapter's warnings about worldly desires, conflicts, and pride reveal how internal spiritual struggles manifest as societal problems. Through personal reflection, Jesse acknowledges his own struggles with patience, making this spiritual journey deeply relatable.The podcast takes a fascinating historical turn as Jesse unpacks de Tocqueville's famous observation that "despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot." This isn't merely philosophical musing—it's a blueprint for understanding why democratic systems fail without moral foundations. When Robert Winthrop's stark declaration that societies must be governed "either by the Bible or by the bayonet" enters the conversation, we see the real-world implications of removing spiritual foundations from public life.What makes this episode particularly powerful is how it connects historical wisdom to contemporary challenges. Jesse illustrates this through examining post-Saddam Iraq, where removing despotic control without established moral foundations for self-government led to chaos rather than liberty. The lesson becomes clear: freedom requires more than the absence of tyranny; it demands the presence of virtue.For anyone concerned about America's future, this thoughtful exploration of faith's role in sustaining freedom offers both warning and hope. Listen as Jesse makes a compelling case for returning to a nation that prays publicly and embraces the spiritual foundations that make liberty possible.AI: I've completed the requested tasks with all 6 sections in the key-value pair format.

The electricity regulator wants households with solar to be paid more for helping the grid when it's stressed. The Electricity Authority is asking for feedback on a proposal from its Energy Competition Task Force set up at the height of last year's energy crisis. Transpower is warning there's an increased risk of very high power prices in 2025 because of a drop in gas forecasts and coal stockpiles. The grid owner says peak capacity risks will persist this year until there is more investment in sources of flexible electricity generation - such as via batteries or 'demand management' when users reduce electricity consumption. The EA's proposal would require lines companies to pay a rebate when consumers supply electricity back to the grid. The complaint up to now from those with solar is they receive less for the electricity they generate, than what they are charged for what they take in off the grid. The authority is taking submissions until March 25. Rewiring Aotearoa chief executive Mike Casey is praising the authority for the move but says it needs to go further. Tracey Kai, chief executive at Electricity Networks Aotearoa, has concerns the move is beneficial to those who can afford solar systems.

What if the secret to scaling your high-ticket offer wasn't a bigger audience, but a smarter funnel? Today's case study unpacks how Vix Meldrew's surprising move to lean into an unscalable funnel strategy actually added $150K of revenue and signed 99 clients in just one year. After seeing shifts in buyer behavior, Vix leveraged the Lipstick Effect (an economic theory explained in our conversation) to tweak her funnel, swapping out a traditional webinar for a micro-class and private podcast combo, and offering an unscalable but high-touch, high trust-building opportunity on the backend. The result? A 35% conversion rate on her first launch, consistent evergreen sales, and a staggering speed-up of the buying cycle, with the average new lead converting after just 10 days or less on her list. Here are the exact changes and execution that transformed Vix's funnel. Connect with Vix: https://vixmeldrew.com IG and Threads: @vixmeldrew Iconic business leaders all have their own unique genius.

We're trying something a little funky today... asking artificial intelligence to create ghost stories based on prompts provided to us by our most haunted friends on Patreon & a dash of our own intellect. What was birthed... was.... something. Three baby witches stumble into an abandoned church and discover their only way out alive is through a sacrifice. Chad (Chat GPT) dished up some solidly spooky ghost stories of a demon dog who exhausts the dark entity that owns them, a vengeful slavic witch with a basket full of eyeballs and eternity to seek revenge on a small village, a hotel of spectral characters with one of the biggest dead divas we've ever encountered, black eyed kids creeping the streets, and our personal favorite, Spectral Frequencies: a podcasts for ghosts by ghosts. We're giving Chad 5 stars for his effort in creating quirky characters, unexpected twists, and a script that makes us want to re-enact these tales Drunk-History-style. Have ghost stories of your own? E-mail them to us at twogirlsoneghostpodcast@gmail.com Encounters episodes are released every Thursday at 9am PST/12pm EST.
