In Part 2 of our conversation with certified lead auditor Jess Teasdake, we dig deeper into what it really takes to build an efficient, audit-ready quality management system (QMS). If you caught Part 1, you heard us talk through the big picture: certifications, audits, and what separates a good QMS from a bad one. This time, we're getting tactical. We're not just talking about passing an audit—we're talking about building a system that supports your team, reduces risk, and eliminates waste across your business. From risk registers and RPN scoring to digitizing your paperwork and planning with cross-functional teams, we cover the actual tools and habits that make quality real on the shop floor. Along the way, we share stories from our own shops—what's worked, what hasn't, and how integrated technology has changed the game. We've lived the paper-chasing, binder-filled chaos that too many shops call a QMS. And we've seen what happens when you replace it with a connected system that actually reflects how your shop runs day to day. If you're working toward certification—or just want to build a culture of quality that doesn't require heroics to maintain—this episode is your blueprint.

In this Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Dr. Dewey Caron returns with his monthly audio postcard—this time focused on August mite management and a remarkable discovery about honey bee learning. Dewey reminds beekeepers that August is a critical month to monitor and treat for varroa mites before their populations explode. He shares updates on new and emerging treatments, including Norroa (a dsRNA-based biopesticide), Mite Bee Gone (L-glutamic acid strips), and Apivar 2.0, as well as best practices for applying oxalic acid extended release strips like VarroxSan. Dewey shifts from mites to mind-blowing research on bee communication. Drawing on the work of Dr. James Nieh, he explains how the waggle dance—used by bees to communicate foraging locations—is learned through social exposure, similar to how birds and humans acquire language. This study, featured in Science, marks the first demonstration of social learning in insect spatial communication. This episode blends practical mite management insights with inspiring science, all in under 20 minutes. Stay proactive. Plan your treatments. And appreciate the depth of honey bee intelligence.

Send us a textGuest: John Crotts, pastor of Faith Bible Church (Sharpsburg, GA)There are lots of issues that consume our attention, such as world events, politics, work, family, recreation, health trials, and more. But there is one issue for the Christian that should be of primary focus—loving God.Loving God means to order our thoughts and actions around what brings glory to God and pleases Him. In fact, Jesus said that loving God with our whole being is “the great and foremost commandment” (Matt. 22:38). Not a suggestion but a commandment.When the believer grows in love of God, he will enthusiastically want to worship and obey Him. Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Of course—we'll do anything for someone we truly love.So how do we grow in our love of God? Is it about trying to manufacture and maintain affectionate feelings toward God, as a man has for a woman with whom he is in love? Should Christians expect to wake up every day just naturally loving God?John Crotts joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the all-important issue of growing in your love of God. John has been pastor of Faith Bible Church in Sharpsburg, GA for 30 years, hosts the Integrated podcast, and is a fellow with the Fortis Institute, where he produced a video titled, “Head to Heart: Five Ways to Know and Love God.”

What if church wasn't something you went to... but something you lived? In this deeply personal episode, Jake McCandless shares the raw, behind-the-scenes story of his relentless pursuit to build a ministry that reflects the Acts 2 church — where discipleship, mission, and real-life faith collide. From wrestling with Sunday-only Christianity to stepping out in faith to build something more authentic, this isn't just a story — it's a roadmap for families who long to see faith fully integrated into every part of life. Whether you're a parent, pastor, or just hungry for something more, this episode will challenge you to rethink what it means to follow Jesus in your home, church, and everyday life.

This week on The Mother Daze, we're joined by two powerhouse women redefining what birth support can look like, Anastasia Stone, mother of five and deeply intuitive doula, and Dr. Melissa Drake, soulful OB-GYN. Together they co-founded ‘The Collective' in Santa Barbara, California. As a team, they're flipping the traditional model of care on its head, blending house calls, continuity, and deep, respectful presence to rewrite the birth experience. We dive into the story of Sarah's birth with baby Ocean, including the moment a shoulder dystocia changed the energy of the room and how this team navigated it with calm, trust, and connection. From home to hospital, they held Sarah through the intensity, honoring her choices and helping her stay rooted in her joy even amidst big unknowns. This episode is all about intuitive birth work, integrated care, how they came to be such a dynamic duo and what's possible when women are surrounded by providers who trust the process as deeply as they trust the birthing person.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Boris Bialek, VP and Field CTO at MongoDB, for a conversation that moved well beyond databases. As AI continues to accelerate across sectors, MongoDB is positioning itself at the intersection of modern data architecture and intelligent application development. Boris shared how his team is simplifying AI adoption for enterprises, with a clear focus on real-world outcomes, developer productivity, and global inclusion. We began by exploring MongoDB's recent acquisition of Voyage AI. This move extends MongoDB's native capabilities into vector search, embeddings, and re-rankers, allowing developers to build AI-powered applications more efficiently. Boris explained how MongoDB is removing the complexity from AI integration by providing a unified API, collapsing what used to be 18 disconnected tools into a streamlined developer experience. But the discussion wasn't just about technology. Boris brought a passionate focus to the issue of financial inclusion. We talked about how AI can enable alternative credit scoring for the 27 percent of adults globally who remain unbanked. By analyzing behavioral signals such as mobile payment histories or utility data, AI can help unlock microcredit opportunities for individuals and small businesses in underserved regions. Boris shared use cases from PicPay in Brazil, M-Pesa in Africa, and Proxtera in Singapore, each demonstrating how AI and MongoDB are enabling new forms of digital trust. We also tackled the organizational and technical hurdles to enterprise AI adoption. From fears about hallucinations to managing constant model updates, Boris described how MongoDB is building systems that prioritize transparency, auditability, and scale. With its document model and integrated tooling, MongoDB offers a stable foundation for companies navigating fast-moving AI transformations. For developers, the platform now includes learnmongodb.com and quick-skill badges designed to make AI approachable and hands-on. And with the upcoming release of Boris's new book, there's more to come on how businesses can move from pilot experiments to production-grade solutions. How is your organization rethinking its data strategy to make AI work at scale?

Effective security management has never been simple and the expanded threat landscape enhanced by AI has only widened the gap between defenders and attackers. Scott Crawford and Greg Zwakman return to discuss the managed security services market with host Eric Hanselman. Security services have been an option for enterprises since the earliest days of IT, but the need for more depth and breadth in security operations has changed market dynamics and the enterprise security calculus. Part of this shift is driven by the scope and scale of security operations. Expanded attack surfaces with more devices, more SaaS applications and hybrid infrastructure can be all the more difficult to secure. Integrated security operations patterns, like Managed Detection and Response (MDR) can provide more comprehensive services and ones that are targeted at delivering improved security outcomes, rather than just operational support. Changing security requirements are driving M&A activity, as well. Where services had been an augmentation to vendor products, some vendors now see them as a critical part of their portfolio and a key to platform aspirations. Zscaler's acquisition of Red Canary and Sophos' pick up of SecureWorks are some of the more notable transactions in this trend. Security management has shifted front of security markets.

This week's EYE ON NPI is tick tock o'clock, it's the Abracon Real-Time Clock with Integrated 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/abracon/real-time-clock-with-integrated-32-768-khz-crystal-oscillator). It's a tiny and affordable all-in-one RTC that has everything ya want, and nothin' ya don't. With it's compact package size, it's half the BOM size of what most RTC's need, and has a high quality Abracon crystal (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/abracon) already included! We've been using Abracon (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/abracon) crystals and oscillators in our designs for decades - for example a 12.288 MHz Crystal (https://www.digikey.com/short/w2qvtnbr) adorns our VS1053 breakout board (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1381). That's not the only thing they're good at, but it's the name recognition they've got as a trusted supplier of quality, affordable crystals and oscillators. So it was not surprising for us to learn that they now have an integrated-crystal real time clock chip for sale. Real time clock chips are specialty low-cost chips that keep track of 'real time' (e.g. the month, day, year, hour, minute, second) so that the rest of the system can go into shutdown mode or lose power, without losing track of time. They also often have alarms so that the system can reboot out of deep sleep to perform some task at an assigned delay or timestamp. As you might expect, the important characteristics to look for in an RTC are accuracy - how close their internal timekeeping is to true time - and power draw - how long they can run off the secondary power source such as a super-cap or coin cell battery (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/panasonic-energy/CR-1025-BN/269738). There's other characteristics that you may care about: the voltage range they can power off of, whether they support a secondary battery backup with auto-switchover, and of course the interface and capabilities like alarms The AB-RTC-XB-32.768KHZ-2-T3 (https://www.digikey.com/short/tp4tjzqz) has many of the things we like to look for in an RTC. First, is a standard I2C interface - most RTCs are, and this makes it easy to add to any microcontroller or microcomputer. Second is a wide operating voltage range for power and logic: 1.2V to 5.5V with both a power and IO power pad! That means it's great even for low voltage cores or 5V Arduino-compatibles, and you can have separate voltages if desired. Alongside those two pins there's also a separate VBat pin for backup battery with auto-switchover. That means when the main power cuts off, say because USB got unplugged, or the main Lipoly battery is drained, we'll switch over to a coin cell or super-cap. Of course, the big feature of this RTC is the built-in crystal. By integrating directly, they're able to have an SMT chip with no external crystal in a 3.2 x 2.5mm package - the same size as most crystals! According to the datasheet, the crystal has a 5 ±23ppm frequency stability at room temp 25℃. That translates to 28 ppm max: 86,400 × (28/1,000,000) = 2.42 seconds gain/loss per day. At the typical 'best case' of 5ppm, its 86,400 × (5/1,000,000) = 0.432 seconds per day. That's in-line with most RTC crystal specifications, although it wouldn't be considered 'high precision' since its not temperature compensated. Temp compensation is much more complex and expected, and most RTCs will get auto-sync from the controller via WiFi/BT/GPS to apply correction every day~month to get them back on track. If you need a compact real time clock with a flexible power supply setup and Abracon-quality crystal, the AB-RTC-XB-32.768KHZ-2-T3 (https://www.digikey.com/short/tp4tjzqz) is an excellent new product offering that's available and in stock at DigiKey right now!

Every summer, Baton Rouge General Burn Center and Foundation offers pediatric burn survivors the opportunity to attend a summer camp. Since 2019, Camp Catahoula has offered these young burn survivors a chance to meet others who have faced the same obstacles with a week full of horseback riding, art and crafts, fishing and other summer camp activities. Sadie Stockwell, co-director and physical therapist assistant at the Baton Rouge Burn Center, and Shay Shay Turner, a burn survivor and camper-turned-counselor, tell us more about Camp Catahoula.Earlier this week, the Major League Baseball draft took even the top experts by surprise with how the picks were ordered. But this wasn't the first time in history when player selections turned heads. In October of 1945, Jackie Robinson signed his first minor league contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Not long after, the Dodgers also signed Johnny Wright, a pitcher from New Orleans. While Wright never made it to the majors, he helped to integrate the minor leagues alongside Robinson in Montréal and Daytona Beach.His daughter, Carlis Wright Robinson grew up hearing whispers about her father's career, but never knew the full story. That's until she did some research and wrote a book on his life and legacy, “The Wright Side of History: The Life and Career of Johnny Wright, Co-Pioneer in Breaking Baseball's Color Barrier, as Told by His Daughter.” She joins us now to talk about her book and her father's legacy. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

In this episode, Dr. Casey Grover explores how integrating behavioral health and addiction services into primary care settings can transform healthcare delivery and dramatically improve access to treatment. Dr. Grover speaks to psychologists Patti Robinson and Jeff Reiter about their work creating integrated primary care practices and clinics. • Healthcare in the US is siloed, forcing patients to navigate separate systems for physical health, mental health, and addiction• Mental health specialization creates artificial barriers when generalist counselors could help many addiction patients• Integrated care places behavioral health providers in primary care settings with same-day, brief (15-30 min) appointments• Primary care doctors welcome the support while mental health providers need retraining to adapt to the flexible model• Physical clinic design matters—providers should be within 15-20 feet of each other for true integration• "Pathways" can be created for specific populations like those with opioid use disorder• Patients overwhelmingly appreciate the convenience and comprehensive approach of integrated careVisit speaktoyourdoctor.com for resources to share with your medical provider about implementing integrated behavioral health services.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Whether you're grinding up a 5% incline or crawling up a brutal 15%, choosing the right gear ratio is key to maintaining an efficient cadence—ideally around 80 RPM. Here's a breakdown of ideal gear inches and recommended chainring/cassette combinations for gradients from 5% to 15%. Gear Inches Table | BikeCalc   Takeaway Tips: Lower gear inches help maintain cadence on steeper grades. A compact crankset (e.g., 34/50T) paired with a wide-range cassette (up to 31T or 32T) gives you the flexibility to tackle tough climbs. For gradients above 12%, consider a granny gear setup or even a 1x drivetrain with a wide-range cassette.   Get Gritty Tip: The Four Agreements Get Gritty Tip: Master Your Mindset with The Four Agreements This week, let's talk about The Four Agreements—a powerful framework for living with intention, resilience, and clarity. These four simple principles can help us break free from limiting beliefs and live with more purpose in both triathlon and life. 1. Be Impeccable with Your Word. Your words create your reality. In triathlon, this means speaking positively to yourself and others. When you talk about your abilities, your goals, and your progress, choose words that empower and uplift. If you say, “I can do this,” you're setting yourself up for success. But if you tell yourself “I'll never get faster” or “This is too hard,” you're building mental barriers. Choose words that propel you forward. 2. Don't Take Anything Personally. People's opinions and reactions are a reflection of them, not you. In triathlon, you'll face challenges, setbacks, and criticism, whether it's a tough race, a hard workout, or someone questioning your pace. But remember: It's not about you. Their words and actions are influenced by their own journey. Instead of letting it derail you, stay focused on your own path, goals, and growth. 3. Don't Make Assumptions. We often create stories in our minds about what others think of us or what we think is happening in a race or workout. But assumptions only hold us back. Instead, ask questions, seek clarity, and stay open-minded. Don't assume you know the outcome of a race or a workout before you even begin. Focus on the process, not the assumptions. 4. Always Do Your Best. This one's simple but powerful: give everything you have in each moment. Whether it's an interval, a long ride, or an intense swim, always give your best effort. And remember, your best changes from day to day. Some days you'll have more energy, and some days will feel like a struggle. But as long as you show up and give your best, you are making progress.     Action Item: Apply The Four Agreements to your training this week. Focus on the words you use, let go of external opinions, stay clear of assumptions, and always do your best. This simple mindset shift will help you approach both your triathlon journey and life with more clarity, resilience, and grit.   TriDot Workout of the Week: Functional Threshold Power   Today's workout is a Functional Threshold Test (20-minute) Session Note Conducting time trial (TT): Goal is to hold pace you can sustain for the entire TT without blowing up early or having enough left to kick at the end.   10 min @ Z2 with 3 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4   20 min - all out maximal effort   Be sure to enter/confirm your assessment results to update your training intensities and race projections.     Fun Segment: Triple Bypass Trivia! It's time to shift gears and test your mountain mettle with the Triple Bypass Trivia Showdown!

When did the first Triple Bypass ride take place? A) 1978 B) 1988 C) 1998 Answer: B) 1988 — One July day in 1988, a group of avid cyclists decided that it would be fun and challenging to ride from Evergreen to the Vail Valley, Colorado.

The Double Bypass start location for 2025 is in Empire.  Which three mountain passes are included in the full Triple Bypass route? A) Juniper, Loveland, Vail B) Independence, Kenosha, Red Mountain C) Monarch, Cottonwood, Hoosier Answer: A) Juniper, Loveland, Vail — These iconic Colorado climbs define the course. True or False: The event is a competitive race with official timing and podiums. Answer: False — The Triple Bypass is a non-competitive, fully supported challenge ride focused on endurance, experience, and personal accomplishment.    Roughly how much has the event donated to charity since its inception? A) $500,000 B) $3.5 million C) $10 million Answer: B) $3.5 million — Over the decades, the ride (organized by Team Evergreen Cycling) has contributed millions to nonprofits.   Boulder Peak Close The first Boulder Peak Triathlon was held in 1992. It quickly became one of Colorado's most iconic triathlons, known for its challenging course, especially the infamous Olde Stage Road climb.

What does it take to run one of the top-performing machine shops in the country? In this episode of MakingChips, we sit down with Kevin Bowling, COO of Major Tool & Machine, to find out exactly what drives their success—and why it all starts with people. Kevin isn't just leading a massive operation with 670,000 square feet of manufacturing space and machines that can turn parts up to 40 feet in diameter—he's cultivating a culture of excellence, servant leadership, and continuous improvement. From daily standups to custom-built software tools that empower employees to submit (and track) improvement ideas, Kevin shares how his team fuels a winning environment. We talk about how Major Tool keeps scrap rates under 1.6%, mitigates multi-million dollar risks, and engages machinists in everything from quoting to process design. But more than that, Kevin reveals why trust, gratitude, action, growth, and excellence aren't just words on a wall—they're the foundation for shop floor performance. Whether you're running a 3-person shop or leading hundreds, this conversation is packed with ideas you can apply to raise the bar. Because when leadership is intentional and people are empowered, that's when you start making chips—and making money.

Wait a minute — that's not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and Integrated host Dr. John Crotts steps in as guest host to help you move from simply knowing your Bible to actually using it in everyday life. Segment 1: • Knowing Scripture isn't the goal—using it to shape your thinking is. • False teaching thrives when churches aren't equipped; believers need to minister, not just pastors. • Ephesians 4: we mature by speaking truth in love, not by outsourcing ministry. Segment 2: • God's Word revives, gives wisdom, and produces joy—but only if you're reading it regularly. • Build daily Bible habits: set a plan, pick a place, and keep showing up. • Small consistent steps create massive long-term spiritual growth. Segment 3: • Bible knowledge isn't trivia—it's functional: learn the storyline, genres, and historical context. • Big picture understanding gives depth to daily reading and real-life application. • Knowing how the Bible fits together helps you obey it, not just admire it. Segment 4: • Use tools: concordance, chapter summaries, and group study to deepen understanding. • Apply Scripture to your personal struggles and current crises to grow spiritual muscle. • Church is for equipping each other—learning truth together sharpens everyone's walk. ___ Thanks for listening!
