　株式会社日本レジストリサービス（JPRS）は7月23日、Knot Resolverの脆弱性情報が公開されたと発表した。

Untying the Knot of Remote Work Communication In today's evolving workplace, communication breakdowns are more than just frustrating—they're costly. Dianna Anderson joins me to unpack her innovative "Untying the Knot" approach, rooted in large-scale change management and coaching. We dive deep into how organizations often rush remote work decisions without engaging their teams, and how this disconnect impacts morale and productivity. It's not just about location—it's about listening. The Shift Toward Adaptive Leadership Post-pandemic workplaces require more than 20th-century leadership styles. Dianna and I discuss how adaptive, people-first leadership is crucial in today's fast-paced, complex world. We explore how leaders can build bridges across generations and departments by fostering creativity, collaboration, and—most importantly—better conversations. From Individual Contributor to Impactful Leader Too often, high-performing employees are promoted to leadership roles without the tools or training to succeed. I share insights from my own leadership journey, including how I transformed a toxic workplace—not with layoffs, but through authentic communication and meeting staff where they were. Leadership isn't innate—it's learned, and it's teachable. Putting People First During a Crisis When the pandemic hit, I made a clear choice: prioritize people over processes. I talk about how checking in on employees' lives beyond work not only boosted morale but built a stronger, more connected organization. Supporting your team's well-being is not a soft skill—it's a strategic advantage. Human-Centered Leadership in the Age of AI In a world where algorithms drive decisions, we can't afford to lose our humanity. Dianna and I unpack why performance metrics must be balanced with emotional intelligence and clear direction. Her one-day coaching-based leadership workshop is a game-changer for teams ready to embrace a more thoughtful, collaborative way to lead. Creating a Shared Language for Change Organizational transformation starts with a shared language. Dianna shares how her work helps companies align people and priorities through simple yet powerful communication practices. I strongly encourage organizations ready to shift their culture to connect with Dianna—you'll be glad you did.   Bio Info Dianna Anderson is a visionary leader and the driving force behind Cylient, a pioneering organization dedicated to equipping people to successfully engage in the conversations they are currently avoiding. Dianna believes that if you can't talk about something, you can't change it. Dianna saw the potential for creating coaching cultures in 2005 after co-authoring Coaching that Counts, a textbook based on ROI data and her years of coaching experience that illuminates how coaching engagements add value in organizations. The Untying the Knot® approach to “in the moment” coaching that she created has equipped over 55,000 people globally to wire up a coaching-based approach to leadership. As a thought leader in leadership development, Dianna has worked with clients across industries, from Fortune 500 companies to smaller organizations. Her approach combines deep empathy, evidence-based strategies, and a profound understanding of human dynamics to help leaders at all levels unlock their potential. Under her guidance, Cylient has become a trusted partner for organizations seeking to create adaptive, resilient cultures in today's fast-paced world. Dianna is a sought-after speaker for her ability to translate complex leadership challenges into actionable insights. Her engaging style and practical wisdom make her a captivating guest on podcasts, where she shares her journey, lessons learned, and discerning insights regarding the power of coaching-based leadership to address current, complex issues. With her unwavering passion for redefining leadership and her commitment to driving meaningful change, Dianna Anderson is not just shaping conversations—she's sparking a movement that reimagines the future of leadership.

London chamber music venue Wigmore Hall stages something in the region of 600 events a year. That's partly why its season brochure stretches to 206 pages — and that's just for September to December 2025. A weighty piece of print that, for some (myself included), reads more like a guaranteed programme of discovery. An in depth syllabus. A prospectus. The new season sees the usual draw of international artists and homegrown talent: Christian Tetzlaff, Igor Levit, Les Arts Florissants, Dunedin Consort, Mitsuko Uchida, Martha Argerich, Stephen Kovacevich, the Kanneh-Masons, Hugh Cutting, Solomon's Knot — and a debut from a previous Thoroughly Good Podcastee, Danish cellist Jonathan Swensen, whom I met way back when I was in Armenia for the Khachaturian Cello Competition.To appear at Wigmore is a reflection of the place you hold in the industry as a communicator. So why wouldn't you make a beeline to go there — to hear the very best, and to hear that which you wouldn't normally hear?This is not a promo for Wigmore Hall even if it does sound like it, its simply an articulation of a special home, a musical destination which stirs something inside whenever I find myself walking down Wigmore Street and I catch sight of that distinctive canopy. Such a prestigious stage and reputation carries with it a considerable weight of responsibility, surely. How could it not?What does it take to run one of the world's busiest classical music venues?In this candid conversation, John Gilhooly reflects on the complexity of his role at Wigmore Hall — a job he describes as a “seven-day liability.” From last-minute artist cancellations to long-term fundraising goals, Gilhooly shares how he balances tradition with innovation, protects artistic standards, and fosters a spirit of welcome across every part of the organisation.It's a rare, unguarded look at what it really means to lead in the arts today — from someone who's done it, against the odds, for nearly two decades.

How to Tie a Knot in a Biothane Ball Tug Strap Step 1: Tie a knot in a fresh biothane strap. Step 2: Pull tight and leave some tail at the end. Step 3: Loop tail over knot. Step 4: Push tail under and through knot. Step 5: Pull knot tight and begin break-in process. Replacement BioThane Ball Strap Leerburg Foam Ball with BioThane Strap Please keep in mind that once the knot is broken-in and secured, it is not coming undone. The biothane will become more soft and pliable with use. Because of this, the biothane begins to grip itself which means untying the knot becomes almost impossible. If properly used and taken care of, biothane ball straps can last a really long time.

Shilpi was guided into a home birth through various channels — one of them being how the medical system was too keen to label hers as a geriatric pregnancy and potentially schedule her into a surgery.Often, women over 35 are labelled as geriatric — meaning care for old people in the medical system. This brackets them into care meant for the elderly, including the approach of looking at everything through a high-risk lens. This often complicates pregnancy more than it is complicated in itself.Shilpi's raw story takes us through her thoughts, preparation, as well as doubts and questions leading up to the birth. Her partner's support and preparation in birth, and more.This is also a story of learning to take self-responsibility in birth — no matter where you birth — in a hospital, a birth center, or at home. Nobody but you decides how you want to be taken care of and when you wish the care to change. It is a very personal space, and there is a big role of intuition in life and birth itself.Tune in to the story now.About the Guest:Part of my childhood was spent in the gorgeous valley of Dehradun, and then by the sea in Mumbai.

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the honor of speaking with Lisa Abbott, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resource Officer at Boston Children's Hospital, about the journey from “the knot” to Everest—both literal and metaphorical. Lisa's story is an incredible example of how discomfort, determination, and asking for help can lead to powerful transformation.Growing up in challenging circumstances, Lisa was influenced early on by teachers and mentors who saw her potential even before she did. That belief, along with her own courage and adaptability, helped her navigate a winding career path—starting in IT, moving into HR, and ultimately rising to the C-suite in healthcare despite not having a traditional background in the industry.Lisa also shared a deeply personal metaphor from her childhood: the gym-class rope. As a child, she couldn't climb past the knot. But years later, she not only found the strength to climb literal ropes, she also trekked to Everest Base Camp—proving how far we can go when we step into discomfort and persist. Her reflections on how to overcome inertia, build inner and outer support systems, and redefine one's “Everest” offer rich insight for any leader in transition or growth.Key takeaways from the interview:0:01:16 – Lisa was inspired by teachers and mentors who believed in her during difficult family circumstances, setting a foundation of resilience and gratitude.0:03:28 – If someone sees potential in you, trust their vision—especially when you don't yet see it yourself.0:05:04 – Own both your expertise and your limitations with confidence; people respect authenticity and clarity.0:10:00 – Lisa's career path was anything but linear—from IT to HR to healthcare—and she credits her growth to being open, curious, and patient during uncertain phases.0:13:16 – The story of “the knot” is a powerful metaphor: what once felt like shame became a source of strength as she ultimately climbed to Everest Base Camp.0:16:05 – Progress comes from breaking goals into small, manageable chunks. Don't aim for the summit in one leap—focus on the next step.0:17:12 – Seek out people who inspire you and actively network, even if it feels intimidating. Exposure leads to insight and opportunity.0:20:00 – Reassess your inner circle. Sometimes, growth requires distancing from those who hold you back.0:22:16 – Be intentional when reaching out to mentors. Bring gratitude, curiosity, and perhaps even insight of your own.0:25:49 – Identify your “knot” moment—the early experience that shaped you—and ask yourself how it can be transformed into fuel for growthIf you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation.Cheering you on always!– Sheryl

This week, Jemma and Marina tackle Venice's most OTT nuptials as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez say “I do” amidst a spectacle that felt like a Succession spin-off. From helicopters to haute couture and a Vogue cover cameo, the ladies break down the eyebrow-raising moment, including Leo Di Caprio's terrible attempt at camouflage and a Dolce & Gabbana dress that could have Bezos in for a long night. But things turn darker, and dumber, with the U.S. Senate's passage of the “Big Bullsh*t Bill,” a legislative grenade lobbed straight at America's most vulnerable. Marina and Jemma break down the grim fallout: Medicaid slashed, clean energy sabotaged, food assistance gutted… all while millionaires snag tax cuts and ICE gets worryingly bloated. And just when it couldn't get more dystopian - enter Trump and Musk. Again. The MAGA soap opera gets spicier by the day with threats of deportation, party-splitting tantrums, and Elon hinting at a new political party. The ladies are living for the chaos - and if this feud reignites properly, the popcorn's already in the microwave.There's also a pudding from satirist Rosie Holt that's too pitch-perfect to miss. So pull up a gondola - because Jemma and Marina are taking no prisoners.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/thetrawl.bsky.socialCreated and Produced by Jemma Forte & Marina PurkissEdited by Max Carrey

Op de afscheidsreceptie van Klaas Knot waren louter lovende woorden te horen over de man die 14 jaar aan het hoofd stond van De Nederlandsche Bank. ‘Alle lof voor Klaas, hij heeft geen blunders begaan,’ zegt macro-econoom Arnoud Boot, die bij de receptie aanwezig was en de bitterballen heeft laten staan. Maar inhoudelijk is er wel reden voor kritische vragen, meent hij. ‘Maar daarvoor heb je geen afscheidsreceptie.’ Eerst maar even, hoe was het? De frituurpannen draaiden overuren, de bitterballen vonden gretig aftrek. Iedereen was er: de topman van ING, van de Rabobank, de Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken. Van alles en nog wat was er. Het geluk was dat het officiële gedeelte met de speeches maar een half uur duurde. Ik ben bij meer recepties geweest met mensen van een vergelijkbaar leeftijdsprofiel, waar die speeches dermate lang waren dat letterlijk mensen flauwvielen. Dan werd er even onderbroken tot die persoon weer opgetakeld was. Dat was hier gelukkig niet zo. Welke inhoudelijke opmerkingen zijn er gemaakt? Op een afscheidsreceptie worden nu eenmaal alleen positieve dingen gezegd, en daar is ook alle reden toe. Klaas Knot heeft het veertien jaar gedaan en geen enkele blunder begaan. Alle lof voor hem en hoe hij het heeft gedaan. Hij heeft zich inhoudelijk staande gehouden en geen uitglijders gemaakt. Als je hem hoorde spreken, kreeg je ook de indruk dat het uitstekend gaat met de Nederlandse banken. En qua financiële stabiliteit is dat ook zo: ze staan niet op omvallen. Maar de vraag is of ze wel genoeg doen voor de samenleving. Daar kun je zeker grote vraagtekens bij zetten. Is dat een verwijt aan Klaas Knot dan? De vraag is hoe sturend een president van De Nederlandsche Bank eigenlijk kan zijn, omdat het toezicht op de grote banken inmiddels vooral in Frankfurt gebeurt, bij de Europese Centrale Bank. Je moet je afvragen hoe de financiële sector is georganiseerd en of die nog bijdraagt aan de wereld van morgen. Daar kun je namelijk veel kritischer over zijn. Want een president van een lokale centrale bank speelt wél een belangrijke publieke rol, bijvoorbeeld in het uitleggen van economische en monetaire kwesties. Maar het ministerie van Financiën is in de afgelopen jaren door een groot aantal verschillende bewindspersonen geleid, en niet altijd door mensen die op de goede plek zaten. Klaas Knot heeft wekelijks overleg met de minister van Financiën. Juist in een periode met veel wisselingen op dat ministerie is het cruciaal om een stabiele factor te hebben: iemand die het economische en monetaire beleid goed kan duiden en uitleggen. In zekere zin werkt zo’n centrale bankpresident ook opvoedkundig richting de minister van Financiën. Ik denk dat Klaas Knot dat goed heeft gedaan. Nu neemt Olaf Sleijpen het van Knot over. En Knot zelf? Hij was onderdeel van de ECB en wordt genoemd als opvolger van Christine Lagarde. Maar de echte uitdaging zit in de invloed van Nederland in Brussel. Daar zijn we via Wopke Hoekstra op een zijtafel gepositioneerd. We moeten niet gaan mikken op een ECB-president. Klaas Knot gaat heus wel een mooie andere betrekking vinden ergens. Wij moeten werk maken van onze invloed in de Europese Commissie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've always been fascinated by the use of Remote Cameras, but it's not something I've had the chance to try, unfortunately. The last time I cover it on the show was on the episode Using Remote Cameras with Canon Explorer of Light David Bergman, and then I also had the legendary Peter Read Miller Miller talking about how he used them in Sports Photography. I, however, had never thought about using them for Wedding Photo Photography, that is until I was talking to Canon Explorer of Light Bob Davis at Imaging USA this year. His presentation on the Canon stage was on just that topic, and after watching how he was using remote cameras, in his case for both wedding and wildlife photo, I knew this would be a conversation a lot of people might find fascinating. Bob & Dawn Davis are an international wedding photography and design husband and wife team based in the Chicagoland area. When I first met them back in 2020 for an interview at WPPI, it was immediately clear that this couple was an amazing team. I've since seen them both together, or as part of a panel, or individually, on the Canon stage at a conference multiple times, and the passion they bring to what they teach is amazing. What a lot of people don't know is Bob's history behind the camera. Bob began his career in the newspaper industry as a photojournalist, and over drinks one day, while we were looking through his old Chicago Bulls photos on his phone, I was blown away how this guy can shoot anything so damn well. The last time he was on the show was for an episode about Bob and Dawn's wildlife photography: Photograph in the Wild. Bob & Dawn Davis Photography & Design has a client list reads like a “Who's Who” of entertainment's elite. They have had the honor of photographing “A” list weddings such as Eva Longoria & Tony Parker's wedding in Paris, Salma Hayek & François-Henri Pinault's wedding in Italy, La La Vazquez & Carmelo Anthony's TV wedding in New York, Tracey Edmonds & Eddie Murphy's wedding in Bora Bora, ABC's TV show The Bachelorette Ashley's wedding to J.P. in California, along with many other fabulous events with Oprah Winfrey. Bob was also commissioned to work on the book America 24/7 that was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show and was a New York Times Best Seller. Their work has been featured in publications such as People, OK, O Magazine, InStyle, Inside Weddings, Town & Country, Munaluchi, Grace Ormonde, Modern Luxury Brides, The Knot, Ritz-Carlton magazine, Professional Photographer, Rangefinder, Popular Photography and more. Bob is in that small and highly elite group of photographers known as Canon Explorers of Light, along with being a member of the Westcott Top Pro Elite, SanDisk Extreme Team, and a ProMedia Gear Influencer. Together Bob and Dawn are the authors of two books, Lights Camera Capture, and We're Engaged! Earlier I used the word "passion" when talking about their willingness to teach and share their craft, but that word can be used to describe many areas of Bob and Dawn's world. They are passionate about their faith, their marriage, their family, and making the best of their lives. This a power couple. Bob and Dawn also lead wildlife photo workshops to places around the world, like Africa, or Alaska for their Alaska Brown Bear Adventure Workshop, which at the time of this writing still has 3 spots left for their next trip in Sept of 2025. Join Canon Explorer of Light Bob Davis and me as we do a deep dive into how Bob and Dawn use remote cameras on their wedding shoots, and we'll touch a little on how they use them for wildlife shoots too, on this episode of Behind the Shot.

Het was de kortste presentatie sinds de aankondiging van de iPhone. De eerste iPhone wel te verstaan. In ongeveer anderhalf uur vloog topman Tim Cook (op de jaarlijkse World Wide Developer Conference) met z'n collega's door de nieuwste bedenksels van Apple heen. En daaruit bleek dat Apple het nog steeds NIET voor elkaar krijgt om hun eigen AI te maken. Het hoogtepunt was een nieuw uiterlijk voor alle Apple-systemen. Maar ook dat ging niet helemaal goed. Want bij de video die Apple erover op YouTube publiceerde stond het YouTube logo over de G en de L van Liquid Glass heen. Waardoor er Liquid Ass stond.Apple werd ineens een grap. Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Hoe kon het zo ver komen en hoe komt Apple hieruit? En kan het nog een rol van betekenis spelen op het gebied van AI?Misschien moeten we even bellen met Mark Zuckerberg. Zijn Meta loopt ook hopeloos achter, maar hij heeft de oplossing gevonden! Hij speelt recruiter en is persoonlijk in gesprek met nerds.Verder hebben we het ook over de onderhandelingen tussen de Amerikanen en Chinezen, in Londen. De vorige gesprekken (in Geneve) bevielen de kemphanen zo goed, dat ze ze voortzetten in een ander land. We kijken of het einde van de handelsoorlog nu eindelijk nabij is. De termijn van Klaas Knot komt ook steeds dichterbij. Nog maar drie weken en dan is 'ie baas van De Nederlandsche Bank af. Maar er is nog steeds géén opvolger. En dat heeft gevolgen voor het rentebeleid van de ECB.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kirsten Dirksen, An Unexpected Career as a YouTube Home & Lifestyle Content Creator Show Notes: Kirsten Dirksen majored in economics and math, but found creative writing to be her passion. She decided to become a magazine writer and interned at the NBC affiliate in San Francisco, where she worked for free for about nine months. Working at NBC and Moving a Women's Network After her internship, she went to work with the NBC elite, which was the old chronicle enterprise. Kirsten became the music person, interviewing bands and creating unique stories for interviews. She eventually moved to New York City to work for Oxygen, a women's network. She then worked freelance in New York City and for other networks, including MTV, where she did music-themed stories. She worked freelance for a while, and the Sundance Channel took her to Spain to do an interview with Javier Bardem. She later met her husband in Barcelona. Reality T.V. and Early YouTube Videos Throughout her career, Kirsten has been passionate about storytelling and experimenting with different topics. She started working with an old Oxygen producer in Spain to film weddings for a reality show called The Knot. They traveled to various locations, and Kirsten edited the shows which took around five weeks to complete. However, when her husband started a website about environmental sustainability, together they made videos and put them on YouTube. The first viral video was about a  micro apartment in New York. The video was picked up and shared on La Republica's homepage. This led to the story being picked up by Good Morning, America. We the Tiny House People and 20 Million Views After videos going viral in 2009, Kirsten and her husband continued posting YouTube videos. Since then she has done about five or six documentaries, with one being a taste-style documentary about the tiny house movement. The other two are family-based, chronicling the tiny house movement and the summer of family love. She has also done documentaries on homelessness, focusing on the experiences of homeless people in California. Kirsten's videos have gained popularity, with her first one being called We the Tiny House People, chronicling the tiny house movement. The second one, Our Summer of Family Love,  was a road trip across the Pacific Northwest and West for the summer. Her other documentaries have focused on homelessness, focusing on solutions and solutions for those living in small homes. Her videos have gained attention and have been viewed over 20 million times on YouTube. She has also been a guest on the show The Tiny House People,  where she shares her experiences with tiny house movements and the challenges faced by homeless people. From Documentarian to Author Kirsten  began in a formal documentary unit in San Francisco and has since focused on documentaries and tours of tiny homes. Her book, Life-Changing Homes, is titled after these homes, which she believes sum up the stories they tell. The books are categorized into 10 chapters, each with a theme that focuses on simplicity, slowness, impermanence, elevation, restoration, underground survival, resurrection, and future. The book covers a variety of houses, from simple to large, and features thought-provoking chapter headings that cover two or three different houses that fit that theme. Each chapter covers about two or three different houses that fit that theme, and Kirsten interviews the owner. The focus is not on a specific category or type of house, but rather on the story itself. Kirsten's work has been praised for its stunning photos and focus on eco-friendly designs, making it an attractive resource for those interested in living in tiny homes. The book is expected to be a valuable resource for those interested in exploring these unique and sustainable living options. The People Who Live in Non-Traditional Dwellings Kirsten discusses the experiences of interviewing people in non-traditional dwellings, such as those in Ontario and California. She highlights the importance of considering what one truly needs out of a home and what skills they have. Some examples include a widow who built a dome home in Ontario, where she had a refrigerator that pops up like a gadget in Willy Wonka's factory. Another example is a chiropractor who bought land near the border of Oregon and started building a tree house and an earth ship along the way. He has a community of people living there. She also mentions the chief architect for Apple who has a small, open home in Sonoma County. He lived on the land first, but then went camping to find the best place to live. He bought two prefabs and kept everything small, with only the bathroom having a bit of a door. His wife and kids enjoyed the openness and connection to the surroundings. Kirsten emphasizes that it's not just about affordability, but also about making the most sense of the space. Sometimes too big houses can be worse than not having the views or being in touch with the surroundings. This is why she came back to the idea of living in a small, open space. The Importance of Simplicity  The conversation turns to Thoreau and his way of thinking about time in nature, simplicity, and well-being. Kirsten discusses the importance of simplicity in her life and how it can impact her content creation. She also mentions a couple who live in the woods called the innermost house, which they call a place to reflect and experiment in simplicity. She talks about the connection between simplicity and high thinking, as seen in a woman who lived in a tiny house in her backyard in Santa Rosa, California back at a time when it was rebellious to live in a tiny, mobile home. Kirsten mentions how the woman found too many possessions cluttered her mind.  Viral Videos and Duds Kirsten shares her experiences with videos that go viral and which ones are more of a dud. One example is a story with a young architect living in a 12th-century mansion in Spain. Another example is a video with Special Operations, a flying car from an off-grid home, which has had 700,000 views in a week. The title of the video is "Special Operations," which is about a special operations vet who lives on land at the top of a mountain and works as a rescue mission and firefighters. Kirsten shares her experience of becoming a content creator and how it has changed her outlook on life and making a living. It wasn't something she planned; however, it has given her a lot of freedom and afforded her an income that allows her to make a living. Plain Living and High Thinking The conversation turns to the process of making a video, including filming, editing, and producing the perfect thumbnail. Kirsten and her husband usually spend two to three hours at a house or location.  The couple also film themselves during their stay, going on runs and shooting in the morning. Kirsten shares stories from many of the productions and the diverse and interesting people she has met along the way. She talks about what motivates and inspires these people to think and live differently. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Kirsten discusses her experience with Verlyn Klinkenborg whose direction inspired her work back then and today.  Timestamps: 02:22 Internship at NBC and Early Career in Television  06:26: Transition to Freelancing and YouTube  11:03: Growth of YouTube Channel and Documentary Work  11:14: Discovering Unique Homes and Themes for Documentaries  11:36: Impact of Unique Living Spaces on Individuals  30:59: Challenges and Surprises in Content Creation  42:58: Balancing Work and Personal Life  43:09: Influence of Harvard Professors and Writing  Links: Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/life-changing-homes_9781419771897/ Press page: https://faircompanies.com/media-kit/ Channel https://youtube.com/kirstendirksen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirsten.dirksen/ YouTube: Summer of (Family) Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Iti4JU5ObU We the Tiny House People https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDcVrVA4bSQ Trapped in paradise: how we got the homeless situation (part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5XIljwl5hI     Featured Non-profit: The featured non-profit of this episode of The 92 Report is recommended by Eleanor Stafford who reports: “Hi.
