We're told rookie cards matter most. But what happens when a player writes their legacy wearing a different uniform?In this episode, I take a personal and collector-first look at why Tyrese Haliburton's Pacers cards might matter more than his Kings rookies. This isn't about ignoring the rookie card—it's about questioning hobby programming, thinking independently, and considering what actually connects you to a card.I share the real-time perspective of being a fan during the most meaningful Pacers run of my life and how that clarity has reshaped the way I see Haliburton's card catalog.You'll hear about:What cards are available and which ones aren'tThe difference between collector-controlled and commodity cardsWhy emotional connection matters more than labelsHow this applies beyond HaliburtonIt's not a take—it's a question. What if the best card isn't the first one?This episode is for anyone looking to find ways to land cards with collectors through trust.Start your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

Et si vivre avec une personne dépressive pouvait, au fil du temps, vous rendre vulnérable à votre tour ? C'est la question soulevée par une étude étonnante publiée dans la revue Exploratory Research and Hypothesis in Medicine. Les chercheurs s'y sont intéressés à un acteur discret mais essentiel de notre bien-être mental : notre microbiote intestinal.Le microbiote, c'est cet écosystème de milliards de bactéries qui peuplent notre tube digestif. Il influence notre digestion, notre immunité, et… notre humeur. Depuis quelques années, les scientifiques parlent même d'un "axe intestin-cerveau", révélant que nos intestins jouent un rôle dans la régulation du stress, de l'anxiété et des troubles dépressifs.L'étude s'est penchée sur des couples vivant ensemble depuis plus de six mois. Les chercheurs ont découvert que, progressivement, les partenaires en couple voyaient leur microbiote intestinal devenir de plus en plus semblable. Comment ? Par des habitudes partagées : alimentation, rythme de vie, contact physique, échanges de salive, ou même exposition aux mêmes environnements bactériens. Résultat : le microbiote de l'un influence celui de l'autre.Ce qui interpelle, c'est que ce processus peut aussi favoriser la transmission de déséquilibres. Si l'un des deux souffre de troubles anxieux ou dépressifs, son microbiote peut être altéré — on parle alors de "dysbiose". Et en partageant ce microbiote perturbé, le partenaire sain pourrait, lui aussi, voir apparaître des symptômes liés à ces troubles. Autrement dit, la dépression pourrait avoir une dimension… microbiologique.Il ne s'agit pas ici de dire que la dépression est "contagieuse" au sens classique du terme, mais plutôt que le terrain biologique peut se synchroniser entre deux partenaires. Et cette synchronisation peut inclure des fragilités. Cela vient compléter ce que l'on savait déjà sur l'impact psychologique du quotidien partagé avec une personne en souffrance : fatigue mentale, empathie épuisée, repli sur soi. Mais ici, c'est le corps lui-même qui s'ajuste, parfois au détriment de l'équilibre mental.Ce constat ouvre de nouvelles pistes en santé mentale : soigner la dépression dans un couple pourrait aussi passer par une approche conjointe, y compris au niveau intestinal. Et cela rappelle que nos relations les plus intimes façonnent, bien plus qu'on ne l'imagine, notre santé physique et mentale.Une simple vie commune pourrait donc modifier, en profondeur, ce qui se joue dans nos entrailles… et dans notre esprit.

Dear RLR Family,We bring you RLR 179 where we discuss the complex subject of the HYPOTHESIS of the GENEALOGICAL ADAM and  EVE.Genealogical ancestry is not genetic ancestry, and that genealogical ancestry is more important in establishing that Adam and Eve could have been ancestors to the entire human race alive today and that Adam and Eve could have lived a mere 6,000 years ago.Thus, the traditional de novo account of the creation of Adam and Eve could have occurred alongside evolution of human descent. This leaves intact the Genesis account and allows room for evolutionary science. The Genealogical Hypothesis Summarized1)        Adam and Eve could have lived as recently as 6,000 years agio in the Middle East.2)        Adam and Eve are the genealogical ancestors of the entire human race as it exists today.3)        Adam and Eve were created de novo by an act of God from dust and Adam's rib.4)        There was interbreeding between the lines of Adam and Eve and those that were found                outside of the Garden.5)        The main findings of evolutionary science can be reconciled with traditional readings of               Genesis where those outside of the Garden would have shared common descent with the great           apes, and humans are descended not from an original human couple, but from a larger           population that included these people from outside of the Garden.

What happens when the product science principles are applied to a conference organization?  You get Product Collective, now called Mind The Product by Pendo.io. Through events like INDUSTRY: The Product Conference, along with resources such as a member hub and over 100 hours of past conference videos, product professionals across the globe find community, learn, and improve their work.  Rather than AI being the end-all-be-all answer, Mike hopes that AI will be used to integrate both qualitative insights from empathetic customer interactions and quantitative data. This evidence-based approach involves testing strategies through small experiments, learning from the outcomes, and aligning decisions with core values and customer outcomes for incremental growth.  Mike also reveals insights from his experience working with Bob Moesta on jobs-to-be-done interviews, highlighting the value of going deep in customer research to uncover valuable insights, and in his case, understand attendees' needs and improve the conference and/or community experience.  Takeaways include asking deeper questions, spending more time gathering that qualitative feedback so that you can go deeper, being curiously observant of jobs-to-be-done, and finding various modalities in which to gather continuous feedback from the “friendlies” and those who are more hesitant to capture a complete picture.  Resources Follow Mike Belsito on LinkedIn Explore the free resources and upcoming events at mindtheproduct.com Listen to Mike on Rocketship.fm Follow Holly on LinkedIn Visit the Product Science Group website Explore Product Science Workshops and Courses  Quotes from Mike Belsito (00:06:52) "The job that people hire your product for, you know, if you want to think of it, in jobs to be done context, it may not be what you think it is." - Mike Belsito (00:21:29) "Qualitative data is data. So being data driven doesn't mean that we're relying only on the reports and the analytics. It's not an either or. It's not quantitative versus qualitative.

In the concrete jungle of modern urban living, we've lost something fundamental: our connection to the natural world. But Biophilic Design is offering a lifeline, promising to transform our cities from sterile, energy-hungry environments into vibrant, living ecosystems that nurture both human health and planetary well-being.We speak with Luke Engleback, who has over 40 years' experience as a designer at all scales. We talk about biophilic design, ecourbanism, biodiversity, climate change adaptation and health. Luke is a board member and former chair of the Landscape Foundation. He also sits on the Landscape Institute Policy and Public Affairs Committee, and the Midlands Design Panel, the Cambridge Quality Panel and the South Downs National Park. For Luke Biophilic Design isn't just another architectural trend. It's a radical reimagining of how we live, work, and interact with our surroundings. At its heart lies a simple yet profound understanding: we are not separate from nature, but intrinsically part of it.Recent groundbreaking research provides compelling evidence of nature's transformative power. In Finland, a remarkable study revealed the profound impact of natural environments on children's health. Two daycare centres became an unexpected laboratory of discovery. One centre introduced forest soil and leaf litter into its play area, allowing children to get delightfully messy. The results were astonishing. Children in this natural setting developed more diverse microbiomes and, crucially, had fewer harmful pathogens compared to their peers in clinically clean environments.Similar research in Barcelona uncovered another revelation. Medical researchers discovered that children raised in greener urban spaces demonstrated significantly better cognitive performance. This wasn't about wealth or privilege, but about the fundamental human need to connect with living systems.These aren't isolated examples, but part of a growing understanding that our built environments dramatically impact our physical and mental well-being. Climate change has accelerated this recognition. Cities are becoming unbearable heat islands, with temperatures rising dramatically. But biophilic design offers a sophisticated, multi-layered solution. Eco-urbanism emerges as the critical framework for this transformative approach. It's not just design, but a holistic systems thinking methodology that challenges traditional urban planning. Where conventional approaches work in rigid, isolated silos – treating transportation, water management, energy, and green spaces as separate challenges – eco-urbanism sees the city as a living, interconnected organism.Luke Engelback describes this approach as "elastic thinking" – the ability to zoom in and out, understanding how individual interventions connect to broader ecological systems. It's about breaking down artificial boundaries between disciplines, recognizing that a rain garden isn't just about managing water, but about hydrating urban soils, supporting biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and creating cooling microclimates.This systems approach means reimagining every urban element. A street becomes more than a transportation corridor – it's a potential site for water management, carbon capture, biodiversity support, and community well-being. A building's facade isn't just a structural element, but an opportunity for vertical gardens, air purification, and thermal regulation.Innovative urban planners are reimagining cityscapes as living, breathing entities. In Florence, architects designed a revolutionary urban cooling system using natural wind patterns, channelling sea breezes over water features to reduce the need for energy-intensive air conditioning. In the UK, a visionary project Luke worked on in Ashford proposed transforming large agricultural fields into interconnected woodland patches, simultaneously addressing flooding risks, carbon sequestration, and landscape restoration.But biophilic design isn't just about grand architectural gestures. It's accessible to everyone. As landscape architect Luke passionately argues, even small actions matter. A pot plant on a windowsill, a patch of wildflowers instead of a concrete driveway – these seemingly minor interventions create a cumulative positive impact.The potential is extraordinary. Imagine cities where every surface becomes an opportunity for life – green roofs, living walls, urban forests, and integrated water management systems. Where buildings don't just shelter us but actively contribute to ecological regeneration.This isn't wishful thinking. Luke reminds us that leading scientists like Edward O. Wilson have long advocated for a radical reimagining of our relationship with the natural world. His vision of dedicating half the Earth to nature isn't about creating vast, untouchable reserves, but about understanding our fundamental interdependence.Biophilic design represents a paradigm shift from the destructive, linear "take-make-waste" economic model to a circular, regenerative approach. It challenges the siloed thinking that has dominated urban planning, replacing it with systems thinking that recognizes the intricate connections between human health, ecological systems, and urban infrastructure.Luke also says that the benefits extend far beyond environmental sustainability. Research consistently shows that exposure to natural environments reduces stress, improves cognitive function, and supports overall well-being. This is true, in an age of increasing mental health challenges, this isn't just design – it's a form of collective therapy.As our cities continue to grow and climate change intensifies, biophilic design isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. It offers a hopeful, practical pathway to creating urban environments that don't just sustain us but help us thrive.The revolution starts small, as Luke suggests, even a plant on a windowsill, a community garden, a green roof. But its potential is limitless. We are at the pivot point to the future of urban living, where every design choice is an opportunity to reconnect, regenerate, and reimagine our relationship with the living world. Luke has written a brilliant article in our Journal “Biophilic Design and Ecourbanism – an example at Cannock Mill Co-housing, Colchester Winner of the 2024 SALUS Healthy City Design Award for Healthy homes & neighbourhoods”, The Journal of Biophilic Design, Issue 14, Third Age, pp. 82 -87www.studioengleback.com If you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

In her search for the fragment that prevents Hanyuu from finding her, Rika's depersonalization continues as she lashes out at Satoko for bullying her. Is this world real, or is the world she came from a fabrication of this world's Rika's sad mind? Rika consults Doctor Yamamoto, setting off a chain of events that leads to both the possibility of this world's Rika finding happiness but also a terrible truth that provides Bernkastel a way out. This week on Backlog Dialogues, we get a little heretical.

However, I really wanted to have more influence over the direction of the company, not just the direction of our products." - Ha Nguyen (00:09:39) "Be incredibly good at what you do. Startups give you the opportunity to have expanded scope, work for a great boss who's supportive of your career. Don't be afraid to ask. And then finally, if. If they're not going to support you and what you need, then you might need to make the decision to walk." - Ha Nguyen (00:28:47) "When you build the network and people have seen that you have been putting the hours in to build what I call the labor of love projects, it, it's just easier because when you need to reach out to folks for anything they want to help you, they'll pick up the phone and they'll help you." - Ha Nguyen Lab Notes:  Lab Note 605.1: As a company grows, you must intentionally create structure for continuous product discovery. (00:31:46) Lab Note 605.2: Raise your hand to access new opportunities. (00:33:03) Lab Note 605.3: There are varied perspectives on work-life balance and startup life. (00:34:07) Lab Note 605.4: Fractional product work is a great fit for creative people who thrive in ambiguity, but it's not accessible or right for everyone.

Jon Hartley and Eugene Fama discuss Gene's career at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business since the 1960s and helping to start Dimensional Fund Advisers (DFA) in the 1980s, fat tails, the rise of modern portfolio theory, efficient markets versus behavioral finance, factor-based investing, the role of intermediaries, and whether asset prices are elastic versus inelastic with respect to demand. Recorded on March 14, 2025. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS: Eugene F. Fama, 2013 Nobel laureate in economic sciences, is widely recognized as the "father of modern finance." His research is well-known in both the academic and investment communities. He is strongly identified with research on markets, particularly the efficient markets hypothesis. He focuses much of his research on the relation between risk and expected return and its implications for portfolio management. His work has transformed the way finance is viewed and conducted. Fama is a prolific author, having written two books and published more than 100 articles in academic journals. He is among the most cited researchers in economics. In addition to the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, Fama was the first elected fellow of the American Finance Association in 2001. He is also a fellow of the Econometric Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was the first recipient of three major prizes in finance: the Deutsche Bank Prize in Financial Economics (2005), the Morgan Stanley American Finance Association Award for Excellence in Finance (2007), and the Onassis Prize in Finance (2009). Other awards include the 1982 Chaire Francqui (Belgian National Science Prize), the 2006 Nicholas Molodovsky Award from the CFA Institute recognizing his work in portfolio theory and asset pricing, and the 2007 Fred Arditti Innovation Award given by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Center for Innovation. He was awarded doctor of law degrees by the University of Rochester and DePaul University, a doctor honoris causa by the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, and a doctor of science honoris causa by Tufts University. Fama earned a bachelor's degree from Tufts University in 1960, followed by an MBA and PhD from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business (now the Booth School) in 1964. He joined the GSB faculty in 1963. Fama is a father of four and a grandfather of ten. He is an avid golfer, an opera buff, and a former windsurfer and tennis player. He is a member of Malden Catholic High School's athletic hall of fame. Jon Hartley is currently a Policy Fellow at the Hoover Institution, an economics PhD Candidate at Stanford University, a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity (FREOPP), a Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and an Affiliated Scholar at the Mercatus Center. Jon also is the host of the Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century Podcast, an official podcast of the Hoover Institution, a member of the Canadian Group of Economists, and the chair of the Economic Club of Miami. Jon has previously worked at Goldman Sachs Asset Management as a Fixed Income Portfolio Construction and Risk Management Associate and as a Quantitative Investment Strategies Client Portfolio Management Senior Analyst and in various policy/governmental roles at the World Bank, IMF, Committee on Capital Markets Regulation, U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and the Bank of Canada.  Jon has also been a regular economics contributor for National Review Online, Forbes and The Huffington Post and has contributed to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, Globe and Mail, National Post, and Toronto Star among other outlets.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Each episode of Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century, a video podcast series and the official podcast of the Hoover Economic Policy Working Group, focuses on getting into the weeds of economics, finance, and public policy on important current topics through one-on-one interviews. Host Jon Hartley asks guests about their main ideas and contributions to academic research and policy. The podcast is titled after Milton Friedman‘s famous 1962 bestselling book Capitalism and Freedom, which after 60 years, remains prescient from its focus on various topics which are now at the forefront of economic debates, such as monetary policy and inflation, fiscal policy, occupational licensing, education vouchers, income share agreements, the distribution of income, and negative income taxes, among many other topics.

#UFO #Orbs #Coverups #Hypothesis The Hypothesis part 3 - UFOs, Orbs and Cover-ups. UFOs not extraterrestrial, not angels or demons. Hiding their location in addition to their intentions- Underground, Underwater, the Moon. Orbs - they MAY be separate phenomenon tantamount to a “security system” . Deception by our governments - there can be no doubt this has and is continuing. Is it to cover their crimes? To avoid societal collapse? Because they have agreements with the Others?

Product management is a complex and multifaceted role that requires a delicate balance of strategy, organization, and communication. In order to effectively manage products from ideation to launch and beyond, product managers need the right tools at their disposal. This is where product management tools come into play.  Hubert Palan, the founder and CEO of Productboard, is a key figure in the evolution of product management tools, drawing from his extensive background as an engineer turned product manager. He recognized the pressing need for a dedicated platform that addresses the unique challenges faced by product managers, emphasizing customer-centricity and segmentation, a perspective shaped by his studies under Steve Blank at UC Berkeley.  Traditional tools like Jira and Asana, according to Palan, often fall short in catering to the nuanced needs of product management, prompting the creation of Productboard to fill this gap, which now serves over 6,000 clients including major players like Zoom and JPMorgan Chase. By leveraging visual communication tools and focusing on customer segmentation, Palan believes product managers can better understand and cater to their target audience, ultimately driving product success and organizational growth.  Resource Links Follow Hubert Palan on LinkedIn Follow Hubert Palan on X (formerly Twitter) Explore Productboard Learn about Steve Blank's Lean Startup philosophy Follow Holly on LinkedIn Visit the Product Science Group website Explore Product Science Workshops    Quotes from Hubert Palan: “Because at the end of the day you have to make a decision. Do I add another use case? Do I satisfy a new need, Do I expand the set of capabilities that my product has or do I double down on what the use case that I already have, but make them better or improve the usability? And that's every day.” Hubert Palan (18:06) “Frequently Personas are more like a design user Personas as opposed to Persona representing the business market segments that product managers need to think about. Because at the end of the day it needs to be a viable business, not just a product that satisfies needs of a specific user.” - Hubert Palan (21:16) “It's challenging and there's no shortcut, unfortunately. I mean, you have to do the workshops, you have to communicate frequently. You need to do the AMA sessions, you need to have the big 10-page document and then a summary of it. And it's constant communication, constant coordination.” - Hubert Palan (31:54)  Lab Notes Lab Note 603.1: Roadmaps are a conversation, not a one-way document.  Lab Note 603.2: Tools like roadmaps, customer interview snapshots, ideal customer profiles, competitive landscapes, and journey maps help leaders share context and set direction.  Lab Note 603.3: For more valuable personas, enrich them with data and an understanding of both behavior and business opportunities.  Lab Note 603.4: Find simple questions to identify who is best suited to get value from your product.  Ready to elevate your product leadership game?

Today's episode is basically what happened when years of parenting, and one very persistent thought about "hard days" collided into what might be the most important perspective shift I've ever had. Grab your favorite drink and let's dive into this game-changing conversation!

Topics covered in this episode: PEP 772 – Packaging governance process Official Django MongoDB Backend Now Available in Public Preview Developer Philosophy Python 3.13.2 released Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by us!

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: PEP 772 – Packaging governance process draft, created 21-Jan, by Barry Warsaw, Deb Nicholson, Pradyun Gedam “As Python packaging has matured, several interrelated problems with the current way of managing the technical development, decision making and processes have become apparent.” “This PEP proposes a Python Packaging Council with broad authority over packaging standards, tools, and implementations. Like the Python Steering Council, the Packaging Council seeks to exercise this authority as rarely as possible; instead, they use this power to establish standard processes.” PEP discusses PyPA, Packaging-WG, Interoperability Standards, Python Steering Council, and Expectations of an elected Packaging Council A specification with Composition: 5 people Mandate, Responsibilities, Delegations, Process, Terms, etc. Michael #2: Official Django MongoDB Backend Now Available in Public Preview Over the last few years, Django developers have increasingly used MongoDB, presenting an opportunity for an official MongoDB-built Python package to make integrating both technologies as painless as possible. Features The ability to use Django models with confidence. Developers can use Django models to represent MongoDB documents, with support for Django forms, validations, and authentication. Django admin support. The package allows users to fire up the Django admin page as they normally would, with full support for migrations and database schema history. Native connecting from settings.py. Just as with any other database provider, developers can customize the database engine in settings.py to get MongoDB up and running. MongoDB-specific querying optimizations. Field lookups have been replaced with aggregation calls (aggregation stages and aggregate operators), JOIN operations are represented through $lookup, and it's possible to build indexes right from Python. Limited advanced functionality. While still in development, the package already has support for time series, projections, and XOR operations. Aggregation pipeline support. Raw querying allows aggregation pipeline operators. Since aggregation is a superset of what traditional MongoDB Query API methods provide, it gives developers more functionality. Brian #3: Developer Philosophy by qntm Intended as “advice for junior developers about personal dev philosophy”, I think these are just great tips to keep in mind. The items Avoid, at all costs, arriving at a scenario where the ground-up rewrite starts to look attractive This is less about “don't do rewrites”, but about noticing the warning signs ahead of time. Aim to be 90% done in 50% of the available time Great quote: “The first 90% of the job takes 90% of the time. The last 10% of the job takes the other 90% of the time.” Automate good practices Think about pathological data “Nobody cares about the golden path. Edge cases are our entire job.” Brian's note: But also think about the happy path. Documenting and testing what you think of as the happy path is a testing start and helps others understand your idea of how things are supposed to work. There's usually a simpler way to write it Write code to be testable It is insufficient for code to be provably correct; it should be obviously, visibly, trivially correct Brian's note: Even if it's obviously, visibly, trivially correct, it will still break. So test it anyway. Michael #4: Python 3.13.2 released Python 3.13's second maintenance release. About 250 changes went into this update Also Python 3.12.9, Python 3.12's ninth maintenance release already. Just 180 changes for 3.12, but it's still worth upgrading. For us, it's simply rebuilding our Docker base (i.e. —no-cache) with these lines: RUN curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache uv venv --python 3.13 /venv Extras Brian: Still thinking about pytest plugins a lot. The top pytest plugin list Has been updated for Feb Is starting to include things without “pytest” in the name, like Hypothesis and Syrupy. Eventually I'll have to add “looking at trove classifiers” as part of the search, but for now, let me know if you're favorite is missing. Includes T&C podcast episode links if I've covered it on the show. There's 2 so far Michael: There's a new release of PyScript out. All the details are here: Highlight is new PyGame-CE support.
