For folks looking to try birding for the first time, getting started can be daunting. Should you learn every species' call, every subtle feather pattern before you head out to look for birds? While it's good to prepare, there's a risk of scaring yourself out of starting, and preventing the kind of hands-on experiential learning that's one of the best parts of birding. So when you have the time and energy, just go for it! Learning about birds is the work of a lifetime — that's why it's so rewarding.¡Escuche este episodio en BirdNote en Español!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

"We proposed a concept to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), recognizing that extravasation management requires significant interdisciplinary collaboration and rapid action. There can occasionally be uncertainty or lack of clear guidance when an extravasation event occurs, and our objective was to look at this evidence with the expert panel to create a resource to support oncology teams overall. We hope that the guideline can help mitigate harm and improve patient outcomes," Caroline Clark, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, OCN®, EBP-C, director of guidelines and quality at ONS, told Chelsea Backler, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, AOCNS®, VA-BC, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about the ONS/ASCO Guideline on the Management of Antineoplastic Extravasation.

Highlights From This Episode "The focus of this guideline was specifically on intravenous antineoplastic extravasation or when a vesicant or an irritant with vesicant properties leaks out of the vascular space. This can cause an injury to the patient that's influenced by several factors including the specific drug that was involved in the extravasation, whether it was DNA binding, how much extravasated, the affected area, and individual patient characteristics." TS 1:48 "The panel identified and ranked outcomes that mattered most with extravasation. Not surprising, one of the first was tissue necrosis. Like, 'How are we going to prevent tissue necrosis and preserve tissue?' The next were pain, quality of life, delays in cancer treatment: How is an extravasation going to delay cancer treatment that's vital to the patient? Is an extravasation also going to result in hospitalization or additional surgical interventions that would be burdensome to the patient? ... We had a systematic review team that then went in and summarized the data, and the panel applied the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) criteria, grading quality of evidence and weighing factors like patient preferences, cost, and feasibility of an intervention. From there, they developed their recommendations." TS 7:35 "The panel, from the onset, wanted to make sure we had something visual for our readers to reference. They combined evidence from the systematic review, other scholarly sources, and their real-world clinical experience to make this one-page supplementary algorithm. They wanted it to be comprehensive and easy to follow, and they included not only those acute management steps but also guidance on 'How do I document this and what are the objective and subjective assessment factors to look at? What am I going to tell the patient?' In practice, for use of that, I would compare it to your current processes and identify any gaps to inform policies in your individual organizations." TS 16:34 "The guidelines don't take place of clinician expertise; they're not intended to cover every situation, but a situation that keeps coming up that we should talk about as a limitation, is we're seeing these case reports of tissue injury with antibody–drug conjugate extravasation. There's still not enough evidence to inform care around the use of antidotes with those agents, so this still needs to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. We still need publication of those case studies, what was done, and outcomes to help inform direction." TS 19:24 "Beyond the acute management is to ensure thorough documentation regarding extravasation. Whether you're on electronic documentation or on paper, are the prompts there for the nurse to capture all of the factors that should be captured regarding that extravasation? The size, the measurement, the patient's complaints. Is there redness? Things like that. And then within the teams, everyone should know where to find that initial extravasation assessment so that later on, if they're in a different clinic, they have something to go by to see how the extravasation is healing or progressing. ... I think there's an importance here, too, to our novice oncology nurses and their preceptors. This could be anxiety-provoking for the whole team and the patient, so we want to increase confidence in management. So, I think using these resources for onboarding novice oncology nurses is important." TS 22:34

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Marcin Dymczyk, CPO and co-founder of SevenSense Robotics, exploring the fascinating world of advanced robotics and AI. Their conversation covers the evolution from traditional "standard" robotics with predetermined pathways to advanced robotics that incorporates perception, reasoning, and adaptability - essentially the AGI of physical robotics. Dymczyk explains how his company builds "the eyes and brains of mobile robots" using camera-based autonomy algorithms, drawing parallels between robot sensing systems and human vision, inner ear balance, and proprioception. The discussion ranges from the technical challenges of sensor fusion and world models to broader topics including robotics regulation across different countries, the role of federalism in innovation, and how recent geopolitical changes are driving localized high-tech development, particularly in defense applications. They also touch on the democratization of robotics for small businesses and the philosophical implications of increasingly sophisticated AI systems operating in physical environments.

Advanced robotics transcends traditional programming through perception and intelligence. Dymczyk distinguishes between standard robotics that follows rigid, predefined pathways and advanced robotics that incorporates perception and reasoning. This evolution enables robots to make autonomous decisions about navigation and task execution, similar to how humans adapt to unexpected situations rather than following predetermined scripts.2. Camera-based sensing systems mirror human biological navigation. SevenSense Robotics builds "eyes and brains" for mobile robots using multiple cameras (up to eight), IMUs (accelerometers/gyroscopes), and wheel encoders that parallel human vision, inner ear balance, and proprioception. This redundant sensing approach allows robots to navigate even when one system fails, such as operating in dark environments where visual sensors are compromised.3. Edge computing dominates industrial robotics due to connectivity and security constraints. Many industrial applications operate in environments with poor connectivity (like underground grocery stores) or require on-premise solutions for confidentiality. This necessitates powerful local processing capabilities rather than cloud-dependent AI, particularly in automotive factories where data security about new models is paramount.4. Safety regulations create mandatory "kill switches" that bypass AI decision-making. European and US regulatory bodies require deterministic safety systems that can instantly stop robots regardless of AI reasoning. These systems operate like human reflexes, providing immediate responses to obstacles while the main AI brain handles complex navigation and planning tasks.5. Modern robotics development benefits from increasingly affordable optical sensors. The democratization of 3D cameras, laser range finders, and miniature range measurement chips (costing just a few dollars from distributors like DigiKey) enables rapid prototyping and innovation that was previously limited to well-funded research institutions.6. Geopolitical shifts are driving localized high-tech development, particularly in defense applications. The changing role of US global leadership and lessons from Ukraine's drone warfare are motivating countries like Poland to develop indigenous robotics capabilities. Small engineering teams can now create battlefield-effective technology using consumer drones equipped with advanced sensors.7. The future of robotics lies in natural language programming for non-experts. Dymczyk envisions a transformation where small business owners can instruct robots using conversational language rather than complex programming, similar to how AI coding assistants now enable non-programmers to build applications through natural language prompts.

In this episode of Spirit Talk, I share a personal story that happened on November 30th, well before the holidays, and the reflections that followed in the weeks after. While attending my son's lacrosse game, I ignored a clear gut feeling about a situation that didn't feel safe. Moments later, I was bitten by a dog. The injury itself healed, but what stayed with me was the realization that I had noticed the risk and chose to override myself anyway. This episode isn't about blame, fear, or dramatizing the event. It's about something many of us do without realizing it: pushing past our internal signals in order to be polite, avoid discomfort, or not make a scene. I talk through what happened that night, how my body responded in the days afterward, and why the emotional processing that followed mattered more than the physical injury. The second half of the episode looks at why intuition is so often dismissed or mislabeled as anxiety, overthinking, or fear and how social conditioning teaches many of us to second-guess what we already know. I also introduce the idea of the “witch wound,” not as a diagnosis or belief system, but as a useful way to describe the learned habit of suppressing inner knowing in order to stay safe, agreeable, or accepted. In this episode, I discuss: A real-life example of ignoring a gut feeling and the consequences Why we override intuition to avoid appearing rude, dramatic, or difficult How intuition is commonly mistaken for anxiety or overthinking What the “witch wound” means in practical, psychological terms Everyday ways self-trust gets eroded Why healing is about awareness, not perfection How pausing and listening, even briefly, builds self-trust over time If you've ever stayed quiet when something felt off, talked yourself out of a warning signal, or looked back and thought I knew better, this episode may resonate. The takeaway is simple: intuition doesn't need to be dramatic to be valid. Learning to listen and noticing when we don't is part of rebuilding trust with ourselves. Until next time, trust what you feel.   Join the soul tribe on Facebook -  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FdGtaijxt/  Follow along on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/spirittalk13/ and Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@spirittalk_13  Want to share a story?  email me here: spirittalk13@gmail.com  You can support the show and send a tip here: https://buymeacoffee.com/spirittalk

What if the most dangerous hackers are the ones who never touch a keyboard? The real threat isn't just about stolen credentials or ransomware; it's about understanding how attackers think before they even strike. In cybersecurity, defense starts with offense, and the best defenders are those who've walked in the hacker's shoes. In this episode, Ron sits down with John Hammond, principal security researcher at Huntress and one of cybersecurity's most recognizable educators.

Welcome to the Mothers Who Know Podcast, hosted by Karen Broadhead—a faith-based community for moms who want to remember their divine identity, strengthen their spiritual power, and support their children with hope, courage, and wisdom.Important note: This podcast and its programs are not officially affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

In this episode of The Burros of Berea, I sit down with Sarah Fisher, the mind and heart behind HebrewWordLessons.com, for one of the most thoughtful and refreshing conversations we have had in a long time. Sarah shares her personal faith journey, how a late-in-life awakening led her to the Hebrew language, and why studying Scripture through its original words transformed the way the Bible came alive for her. What began as a simple tool to help her learn vocabulary became a weekly ministry that pastors, teachers, and everyday Bible readers now rely on. Her humility, curiosity, and deep love for Jesus shine through every part of this discussion, and her insights into Hebrew words like hasatan, malak, ezer, and hesed challenge many assumptions we have carried for years.This conversation goes far beyond word studies. We talk honestly about balancing scholarship and faith, avoiding speculative theology without honoring historical context, and letting the Spirit guide our study instead of turning knowledge into a weapon. Sarah offers wisdom for anyone who feels intimidated by biblical languages, reminding us that not everyone is called to learn Hebrew, but everyone is called to approach Scripture with humility and love. If you care about understanding the Bible more deeply, respecting its ancient worldview, and growing closer to Christ without arrogance or fear, this episode is for you. It is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply encouraging, and I think it is one you will come back to more than once.If you'd like to check out Sarah's website you can click the link below!Hebrew Word Lessons Website: https://hebrewwordlessons.com/

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This episode explores the essential process of spiritual growth for new believers and the importance of being integrated into a living, functioning Body of Christ. The speakers emphasize that Christianity is not an individual journey but a shared walk where believers are brought into oneness, trained to wait on the Lord, and taught by impartation—not just teaching. Small groups, relationships, and spiritual family dynamics are highlighted as the key environment where believers mature, learn to hear God, and develop genuine oneness in the Spirit. The episode stresses the supernatural nature of the Body of Christ and the deep need for relationship, impartation, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Show Notes The problem of placing new believers into immediate church work.Many believers begin doing tasks before learning to walk with the Lord or being led by the Spirit.Learning to wait on the Lord.New believers must be trained in waiting on God, His Word, and His Spirit.The shift from individuality to oneness.God is moving His people from isolated spiritual lives into a connected Body where every joint supplies.Why small groups matter.Smaller gatherings foster relationship, impartation, safety, trust, and real spiritual growth.Impartation versus teaching.Growth happens through spiritual impartation, not just instruction.The supernatural nature of the Body.Structure alone won't work—only the Holy Spirit brings unity and transformation.Being set into the Body by God.Believers are placed into spiritual family "as it pleases Him," not through personal choice or human organization.Challenges of...

Is this one of the best or worst method or repertoire books for learning to play acoustic fingerstyle blues guitar? You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Despite the book's title, this is not a traditional method book for learning to play fingerstyle blues guitar. This is a repertoire book containing fingerstyle blues arrangements in a variety of subgenres (i.e. ragtime and delta blues). The book does offer more than a traditional repertoire book in that it has technical and historical notes before each tune, and then it occasionally introduces a new technique through a tune. This book is suitable for late beginner to advanced fingerstyle players but is best for intermediate players. I really like the organization of the book: tunes are organized by subgenre, and within each section the tunes are arranged from easiest to hardest. If you have zero experience playing fingerstyle guitar or fingerstyle blues, this is not the best book to start with. If you do have some experience, this is a great book for learning fun tunes, improving your skills, and learning some background history. What stands out about this book is that some tunes include multiple choruses. If you've studied fingerstyle blues from books, you've seen one or two page arrangements that, as written, are too short for a full performance. You might have gathered that you should play the original arrangement and then create multiple variations to instrumentally simulate different lyrics for each verse of a vocal tune, to extend your performance, and to make it your own. However, most books don't actually write out any variations. The Complete Acoustic Blues Guitar Method is wonderful in that some of its arrangements do contain 2nd and 3rd chorus variations. These are great for beginners and players that just want to play a tune that lasts more than 30 seconds, and they are even more valuable for players that want to see and study concrete examples of variations. You can learn a lot from analyzing these variations and then you can implement these ideas into other tunes in your repertoire. Difficulty ramps up quickly in this book with the majority of the arrangements in that intermediate difficulty range. Beginner players may want to first use a traditional method book: A general fingerstyle method like Alfred's “Beginning Fingerstyle Guitar,” or A more focused method like Bruce Emery's “Travis-Style Guitar from Scratch.” Then you could utilize Woody Mann's book as a supplement as you're working through the method book. Later beginners should aim for the first tune or two from each different section and see what specific styles of fingerstyle blues catch their ear. You will improve faster and have more fun if you play tunes that are aren't too difficult, so don't get bogged down with the hardest tunes in the book. The Complete Acoustic Blues Guitar Method provides both treble clef and tablature for each arrangement, but neither fretting nor picking hand fingering is provided. At least you can tell which notes should be played with your thumb by looking at the treble clef – bass notes have down stems. Regardless, the skill of choosing sensible fingering is important, and you will need to look elsewhere to further develop this skill. Recordings are available online through Hal Leonard's website. These will be very helpful to many readers. It's fun and educational to hear some of the author's little variations and stylistic techniques (slides, bends, etc.) that aren't written into the music. The book doesn't use the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc. No thumb slaps, guitar body percussion, or tapping. It says that the copyright is © 2014 Wise Publications, but the book seems to be published and distributed by Hal Leonard. My own books: Fingerstyle Blues Guitar: An In-Depth Study of the 12-Bar Blues in E Major – Books 1 and 2 are available in paperback or as an eBook through Amazon [https://a.co/d/g7Udsso (Book 1) and https://a.co/d/aDbh4H0 (Book 2)]. The first priority of these books is to quickly get you playing a solo instrumental 12-bar blues, and then to build on it until you can freely improvise or “jam.” You should be up and running by the end of the third chapter, and each following chapter will add icing on the cake.

“Losing Doe B still hurts everybody” ~ CBM Soulja  CBM Soulja sits down with Lalaa Shepard of The Progress Report for a powerful and emotional conversation about life, loss, and resilience. In this interview, CBM Soulja opens up about learning of Doe B's passing while he was incarcerated, the pain of losing a close friend, and the impact it had on his life and mindset.  He reflects on beating two life sentences, being locked up while trying to maintain family ties, and the emotional toll of navigating those moments publicly and privately. The conversation also dives into his upbringing in Montgomery, Alabama, his early journey into music, and the deep bond he shared with Doe B — including how Doe B influenced his sound and career. CBM Soulja discusses new music, including his project Turkey Bag Muzik featuring Doe B and Lil Daddy, and speaks on how his experiences shaped the direction of the project.  He also opens up about fatherhood, losing close friends, social media's impact on real relationships, and the importance of growth, accountability, and purpose. 

Marty here with Warehouse and Operations as a Career. This has always been my favorite time of year. Not just because of the holidays, although I do enjoy a little time off and getting to spend some quality time with family and friends. It’s always been my reset or reboot time of year. I know a lot of people that look at spring as their reboot season. I don't know, maybe because one year is closing and another one is opening, for me, reflecting on the last 52 weeks and planning on the next 52 just gives me pause, and I look forward to it! So, let’s see, we've been at this now for what, just over 7 sets of 52 weeks, or a little over 7 years. When I started the podcast I envisioned doing 50 episodes, and here we are at 347! OK, 2025, what a year right. This year we covered a wide range of topics, we've talked about 32 different light industrial task or positions. We've learned a little about our handling our finances, a lot about the supply chain, and spoke about the many different career opportunities in this industry. I hope we're all a little better off, or more prepared for and in our careers for it! I'd like to make this first episode of 2026 about reflection, planning, professionalism, and purpose. I was telling a group of managers and facility managers yesterday that purpose is going to be my go to word for the 1st quarter. I'm making Purpose about ethics and commitment. It's about doing the job right, even when the job isn't glamorous. And most importantly, it's about understanding that this is a long game, and the end goal for all of us is retirement, not burnout, definitely not injury, and not regret in any form or fashion. This year I've had the fortune to see at least 3 people advance to executive management positions. And I think 2 directors move up to V.P. roles. Well over 14 team members from the floor promoted to supervisors, and I think 9 individuals move into lead roles. And a wealth of associates moved into other departments or tasks. And on the negative side, no that’s the wrong word, not negative. Let's say there was also a lot of us still finding our footing and growing. I heard of a few instances where management had terminated associates, probably no more than 10 or 20 though. And every year we hear of several hundred that terminate or fire themselves. Remember how we've talked about those attendance rules, tardy rules, safety rules, and how insubordination, losing our tempers, or just accepting a position that isn’t a good fit for us, what else, oh, the NCNS. Things like that I think we can all agree we kind of ended our position on our own. But you know what. That’s OK. I'm sure we learned from it, and we'll take that knowledge to our next opportunity. Every job isent for everybody. So those situations aren’t even close to being a negative, we learned something about ourselves so its a positive in my eyes. A few things I ask myself this time of year is did I show up consistently? I don't mean daily or on time. I mean was I there mentally, and focused on my job every day. And did I follow direction, or did I cut corners? Every position in our field of light industrial work has some type of regulatory, safety, record documentation or reporting we're responsible for. It's so easy to cut a corner here and there. That’s one I really work on every year. And here's my favorite one, did I take ownership of my role? This is a hard one, and I'd like to say I did a good job with it this year!  And of course I have to ask myself, did I improve my skills every month, or did I just repeat the same month 12 times? I've definitely learned that growth doesn't come from activity alone, it comes from intentional improvement. You can work hard and still stand still if you're not learning, listening, and adjusting when necessary. And as we've learned, that's especially true in the light industrial world. Warehousing, manufacturing, and transportation demand discipline, precision, and trust. This isn't a place where chaos survives for long. Another word I've taught to this year was ethics. Ethics aren't just about stealing or dishonesty. Ethics show up in whether you follow safety procedures even when a supervisor isn't nearby, whether you handle equipment responsibly, and whether you raise your hand when something goes wrong. Ethics are about doing the right thing when it would be easier not to. In our industry, ethical shortcuts can get people hurt. They damage equipment. They cost jobs. They end careers early. And they don't stay hidden for long. The associates who last, the ones who get promoted, trusted, and grow, are the ones management never has to worry about regarding rules and procedures being followed. And that makes me think about commitment. I made like 25 commitment forms this year for a host of different positions. I think, somewhere along the way, the idea of job commitment got twisted. Now, commitment doesn't mean giving your life to a company. It simply means doing what we said we'd do, showing up when we said we would, being dependable, taking responsibility for our role, and understanding that our actions affect others. Sounds simple right? In a warehouse, one person not doing their job can create downstream chaos. Missed picks, delayed trucks, overtime, safety risks, all because someone decided their role wasn't that important. We learned this year that they are all important. I forgot what episode we said, Every role matters. Every shift matters. Every decision matters. Commitment isn't old-fashioned, we just need to bring it back into the fold! Oh, here's one, I hear it all the time, and you know it makes me frown. It's just a warehouse job. No, it's a professional environment with real risk, real responsibility, and real opportunity. Professionalism shows up in how we speak to our coworkers and supervisors. How we handle feedback, how we accept and wear our PPE, and how you treat equipment and safety procedures. One thing I shared with an unloader this week was, you don't become professional after you get promoted. Professionalism is what earns you that promotion. People notice the associate who listens, adapts, and carries themselves with respect. They also notice the ones who complain, argue, and resist direction. In the light industrial world, following instructions isn't about control, it's about safety, efficiency, and consistency. We learned this year that procedures are written because someone got hurt, or something was damaged, time was lost, or money was wasted. You don't need to like every instruction. And you don't need to agree with every process. But we do need to follow them. As long as there legal and safe. I have a picture hanging in my office, a quote from Vince Lombardy that says, The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. I read that every Monday morning! Another thing we learned this year is that If you're doing the same job the same way you did two years ago, you're falling behind, even if you're good at it. Technology changes. Equipment changes. Expectations change. Learning doesn't always mean formal training. It can mean us asking better questions or more questions, watching how the top performers work, and understanding the why behind the process, oh and accepting coaching without getting defensive. I think the most career damaging words in any operation are, that's how we've always done it. For me, constant improvement is a mindset. Improvement doesn't require massive changes. It just needs small, consistent adjustments. Better communication. Better time management. And better focus. Those small improvements compound over time. And over a 20-, 30-, or 40-year career, they make a massive difference. I'm living proof of that! OK, enough of 2025! And although this is my magical time of year, goals don't magically work because the calendar changes. If you and I want 2026 to be different, you and I need, Clear expectations, Measurable goals, and to hold ourselves accountable, even when it's uncomfortable and gets tough. We need to ask ourselves, what skill do I need to improve? What habit do I need to change? What behavior is holding me back? I write those answers down and talk about them, and I revisit them monthly. And I want to talk about the part nobody explains clearly enough to us. The end goal of this game isn't just a paycheck. The end goal is retirement with health, dignity, and options. That means protecting your body, avoiding injuries, managing stress, saving consistently, and making smart career moves. You don't wake up one day ready to retire, we have to build toward it slowly, intentionally, and patiently. Another way to put it is plan for it! Every safe shift, every certification, every promotion, every smart financial decision gets you closer. As we close out 2025, remember this, You don't have to be perfect, but you do have to be intentional. Ethics matter. Commitment matters. Professionalism matters. And learning matters. And the choices we make today shape the options we'll have tomorrow. So lets all plan with purpose. Work with pride. And never forget, this isn't just a job. It's a career, and it's leading us somewhere. So welcome to 2026, another 52 weeks to change what we want! Let's have fun with it, be safe doing it, and make it the best and safest work year yet.

Whether you're in undergrad, doing a PhD, going back as a mature student, or taking just one course that's pushing you, the hard truth is: real learning hurts. It's supposed to. That doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.People outside the game won't get it. Some will call you dramatic. Others will treat you like you're unstable. But the truth is: you're just doing something difficult that most people never choose to do.Learning is uncomfortable. It's slow. It feels strange. It makes you look weird.

That's how you win.
