Recent votes on tariffs and blunt public criticisms signal a GOP that's more willing to defy President Donald Trump – and worried about this fall's midterm elections. Also: today's stories, including a look at community ski hills in New Hampshire; how British politicians are finding no place to hide in the wake of the Epstein files; and why Democrats are pressing for immigration enforcement reform as a Department of Homeland Security shutdown nears.

KI als triadischer Partner: Wie du Human Intelligence und KI zu echter Wirkung verbindest   KI kann heute mehr, als viele wahrhaben wollen. Sie analysiert Daten, erkennt Muster, erstellt Prognosen, optimiert Prozesse, führt Gespräche, schreibt Texte, steuert Maschinen und unterstützt Entscheidungen. Was vor drei Jahren noch wie ein Zukunftsszenario klang, ist längst Realität. Die entscheidende Frage ist deshalb nicht mehr, was KI theoretisch kann. Die Frage ist: Wie nutzt du sie konkret für dich, dein Business und deine Kunden? Und vor allem: Wie bringst du KI so an den Tisch, dass daraus echte Wertschöpfung entsteht?   Torsten Körting auf LinkedIn: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/torstenkoerting/   Von der Unterstützung im Hintergrund zur aktiven Mitwirkung In vielen Unternehmen läuft KI heute im Hintergrund. Sie transkribiert Meetings, erstellt Zusammenfassungen, generiert To-dos oder unterstützt im Bewerbungsprozess – synchron in Echtzeit oder asynchron im Nachgang. Tools wie Meeting-Notetaker oder spezialisierte Assistenten liefern bereits heute enorme Effizienzgewinne. Doch das ist nur die erste Stufe. Spannend wird es, wenn KI nicht nur dokumentiert, sondern aktiv mitdenkt. Wenn sie dich in Verhandlungen unterstützt. Wenn sie in Bewerbungsgesprächen in Echtzeit Impulse gibt. Wenn sie Angebote analysiert oder Ausschreibungen vorprüft. Und noch weiter gedacht: Wenn zwei KI-Systeme miteinander verhandeln, auf Basis klarer Prinzipien wie dem Harvard-Konzept, um für beide Seiten ein optimales Ergebnis zu erzielen. Auch das ist keine Science-Fiction mehr, sondern in Ansätzen bereits Realität. KI im Workshop: Vom Protokollanten zum strategischen Sparringspartner Besonders kraftvoll wird KI dort, wo Menschen gemeinsam denken: im Workshop, in der Strategieberatung, in Führungsteams. Ein konkretes Beispiel: In einem Workshop mit 15 Führungskräften wurden SWOT-Analysen erarbeitet. Während der Kaffeepause analysierte eine KI das Gesagte, verglich es mit den visualisierten Ergebnissen, identifizierte Muster, Widersprüche, blinde Flecken und ergänzende Perspektiven. Nach der Pause wurden die KI-Erkenntnisse auf einem zweiten Monitor eingeblendet und gemeinsam reflektiert. Anfangs war Skepsis da. Doch nach wenigen validen Impulsen kippte die Stimmung. Die KI wurde akzeptiert – nicht als Besserwisser, sondern als zusätzliche Perspektive. Der entscheidende Punkt: Hätte ein externer Berater dieselben Ergänzungen geliefert, wären sie vermutlich stärker hinterfragt worden. Die KI hingegen wurde als neutraler Sparringspartner angenommen. Genau hier liegt enormes Potenzial für Berater, Coaches und interne Strategieverantwortliche. HI + KI = echte Wirkung Wenn du Human Intelligence (HI) und Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) intelligent verbindest, entsteht mehr als Effizienz. Es entsteht Qualität auf einem neuen Niveau. Die Menschen machen den Aufschlag – mit Erfahrung, Intuition, Kontextverständnis und Bewusstsein. Die KI ergänzt mit Datenanalyse, Mustererkennung, Geschwindigkeit und Skalierbarkeit. Danach reflektieren Menschen erneut, prüfen, schärfen, priorisieren. Erst dieses Zusammenspiel erzeugt Ergebnisse, die weder Mensch noch Maschine allein erreichen würden. Genau das ist der nächste Entwicklungsschritt: KI nicht nur als Tool zu nutzen, sondern als triadischen Partner. Als Instanz, die von allen Beteiligten akzeptiert am Tisch sitzt und zur Qualität des Ergebnisses beiträgt. Fazit: Wer KI strategisch integriert, spielt in einer anderen Liga Wenn du verstehst, wo und wie du KI als Partner einsetzt – strategisch, taktisch und operativ – verschaffst du dir einen massiven Vorsprung. Für Berater entstehen daraus neue Geschäftsmodelle mit höherem Kundennutzen und entsprechend höherer Zahlungsbereitschaft. Für Angestellte eröffnen sich neue Rollen, mehr Verantwortung und echte Karriereoptionen. Die Frage ist nicht, ob KI kommt. Sie ist längst da. Die Frage ist, ob du sie bewusst in dein Geschäftsmodell, deine Workshops, deine Entscheidungsprozesse und deine Kundenarbeit integrierst, oder ob andere an dir vorbeiziehen. Prüf für dich: Wo kannst du KI heute schon als echten Partner einsetzen? Und was wäre der nächste konsequente Schritt in deiner Entwicklung?     Noch mehr von den Koertings ...  Das KI-Café ... jede Woche Mittwoch (>350 Teilnehmer) von 08:30 bis 10:00 Uhr ... online via Zoom .. kostenlos und nicht umsonstJede Woche Mittwoch um 08:30 Uhr öffnet das KI-Café seine Online-Pforten ... wir lösen KI-Anwendungsfälle live auf der Bühne ... moderieren Expertenpanel zu speziellen Themen (bspw.

It's very important that parents are engaging and monitoring their children! When you leave children to their own devices, they turn to other people and things! It's detrimental that parents are of healthy mindsets because if they are not they will project their own unresolved issues onto their children, which leads to dysfunction in their children's lives. Monitor your children and know what they're entertaining. Spend quality time with your children, nuture them, and show them love! Unfortunately, sometimes, despite the good parenting, some children will still go the wrong way because they are enticed, influenced, persuaded, coerced, etc., by people and things that are no good for them. Parent's aren't with their school age children 24 hours a day, but as long as children are getting the proper care and attention from their parents, those parents should know they done the best and the right thing for them. Regardless, many children will go astray because of the other people and things that are in their environments and social circles, etc.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Would you believe that there's a medication that can quiet the constant mental chatter around food for the first time in your adult life, but it could also cause you to lose muscle, age your face, and trap you in a cycle that's hard to escape? Both of those are true. When a drug can help someone lose 50 pounds and get off diabetes medication, that's a miracle. But when that same drug leaves someone unable to eat, losing muscle, and facing a lifetime of injections just to maintain their weight—that's a conversation we truly need to have. So, today we're taking a deep dive into GLP-1s—Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and what's coming next. How to preserve muscle when taking GLP-1 medications Consume 1.2–1.6 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, spread across meals  Try to eat something containing 25–30 grams of protein within about two hours after doing a strength workout Consume easily digestible protein sources when your appetite is low (shakes, yogurt, collagen, or bone broth) Commit to doing resistance training at least two to three times a week Monitor your body composition for any early signs of muscle loss  Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider helping men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.

In this episode: How muscle preservation becomes non-negotiable when your appetite is suppressed Why protein timing matters more than total calories when on GLP-1 medications The importance of resistance training when taking GLP-1s The value of in-body scans for catching any muscle loss that may be occurring early on Why tapering off GLP-1 medications starts on day one, not at the finish line How natural GLP-1 stimulation can support or extend the effects of GLP-1 medications Why body composition, not weight loss, determines long-term outcomes when taking GLP-1s How the next generation of GLP-1 agonist drugs could improve our longevity Links and Resources: Relative Links for This Show: Use CODE BERBERINE to get 10% off ⁠⁠⁠Berberine  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use Code FIBER to get 10% off GLP-1 Fiber Follow Your Longevity Blueprint  On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online   Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray  On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

As Iran urges attendance at rallies Wednesday marking the anniversary of the revolution, many citizens could not be further estranged. On one side are grieving families and others infuriated by the regime's brutality, and on the other, officials who voice no expressions of regret. Also: today's stories, including how upcoming elections offer a chance for a democratic reset in Bangladesh; how AI-generated music, writing, and images are generating questions about the nature and source of creativity itself; and how joy was the point for skiers flying through the air at the Livigno Snow Park on Tuesday afternoon.

Andy and Brendan are together in Chicago for this Wednesday episode, bringing a jolt of in-person energy for the first Signature Event of 2026. To start, the two tie up some loose ends from Phoenix, discussing Hideki's "chair-gate" in the playoff and some distressing tweets from Spieth Legion. There's plenty of discussion about the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, with one-and-done picks, Andy's "5 Guys to Monitor," and a new game that we'll be following for every Signature Event. They also debate whether Pebble Beach is now obsolete for PGA Tour pros following the debut of a new tee on the sixth hole for this week's tournament. LIV is back for a second straight week, jumping from Riyadh to Adelaide for the league's biggest non-U.S. event. Aussie Elvis Smylie is riding high following his win and was rewarded with a big OWGR boost for his troubles! Speaking of world ranking points, Andy and Brendan also react to Chris Gotterup reaching No. 5 in the world following his win at the WM Phoenix Open. They briefly recap Monday's TGL match, featuring three players that aren't on the rosters of the teams that played, and PJ suggests there's a new conspiracy afoot in the SoFi Dome. Everyone is ready to roll for a full week in Chicago ahead of Thursday night's event at SPACE. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12!

Get ready for an electrifying conversation with LaMonica Garrett, whose unconventional road to stardom took him from the trampoline-fueled chaos of SlamBall to a breakout role on One Tree Hill. In this episode, LaMonica unpacks the "athletic mentality" that fuels his craft, tracing his evolution from a self-described "green" actor relying on raw charisma to discovering the quiet power of stillness under the guidance of veteran coaches and legends like Billy Bob Thornton. He recounts the "worst audition in history" and shares behind-the-scenes stories from the grueling, documentary-style shoots of Taylor Sheridan's 1883, where he learned how to "fly the plane while it's in the air." Whether you know him as the Monitor in the DC Universe or the steely Tucker in Lioness, LaMonica delivers hard-earned insights on surviving failure, the wisdom he picked up from Morgan Freeman, and why he keeps his foot on the gas by returning to acting class year-round. These are the unforgettable stories that landed LaMonica Garrett right here.

In this Daily Shift, Celeste explores how constant self-monitoring often develops as a way to stay safe in unpredictable environments. While that awareness once served a purpose, it can eventually disconnect you from yourself. This episode is a reminder that presence doesn't require performance, and safety doesn't require self-erasure. You're allowed to simply be. Small shifts create big change.

Islamic terrorists attacked the US Consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, eleven years after the attacks on the World Trade Center. As noted previously, the Libyan nightmare was the result of a war that President Obama and Hillary Clinton started.  They never should have started the war in Libya, never should have placed Americans there unprotected, and when the Americans in Benghazi were under attack on 9-11, 2012 they should have provided help.  Instead, four Americans died in Benghazi as was famously portrayed in the movie 13 Hours. For days after the attack on Benghazi, President Obama and Hillary Clinton blamed the attack in Benghazi on a made up story about a US citizen who incited protests in Benghazi from a YouTube video about Islam. They continued with the story as the caskets of the four dead Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were shipped back to the US. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton left the Consulate to fend for itself and never sent military support to rescue the men trapped at the Consulate. Attorney General Pam Bondi: On September 11th, 2012, Americans watched horrified as our embassy in Bengasi came under a vicious terror attack. We lost four American lives that day: Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith with the State Department, and two CIA contractors, Glenn Dordy and Tyrone Woods. We have never forgotten those heroes, and we have never stopped seeking justice for that crime against our nation. In fact, from day one, Cash and Dan would sit in meetings and say, We're going to get them, and they did. Today, I'm proud to announce that the FBI has arrested one of the key participants behind the Bengasi attack. Zubar Albaqash landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 03: 00 AM this morning.

The Government of Iran continues to restrict access to mobile, landline, and national internet networks. Airlines continue to limit or cancel flights to and from Iran. U.S. citizens should expect continued internet outages, plan alternative means of communication, and, if safe to do so, consider departing Iran by land to Armenia or Türkiye. Actions to Take: Leave Iran now. Have a plan for departing Iran that does not rely on U.S. government help. Flight cancellations and disruptions are possible with little warning. Check directly with your airlines for updates. If you cannot leave, find a secure location within your residence or another safe building. Have a supply of food, water, medications, and other essential items. Avoid demonstrations, keep a low profile, and stay aware of your surroundings. Monitor local media for breaking news. Be prepared to adjust your plans. Keep your phone charged and maintain communication with family and friends to inform them of your status. Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)  to receive the latest updates on security in Iran. If You Plan to Leave Iran:  U.S.-Iranian dual nationals must exit Iran on Iranian passports.  The Iranian government does not recognize dual nationality  and will treat U.S.-Iranian dual nationals solely as Iranian citizens. U.S. nationals are at significant risk of questioning, arrest, and detention in Iran. Showing a U.S. passport or demonstrating connections to the United States can be reason enough for Iranian authorities to detain someone.  U.S. citizens who do not have a valid U.S. passport in their possession should apply for one at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate after departing Iran. The U.S. government cannot guarantee your safety if you choose to depart using the following options. You should leave only if you believe it is safe to do so.

Democrats Cry As Trump Makes It Easier to Fire Federal Workers The Trump administration is planning to make it easier to discipline—and potentially fire—career officials in senior positions across the government, a move that would affect roughly 50,000 federal workers. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the federal workforce, issued a final rule on Thursday that creates a category of worker for high-ranking career employees whose work focuses on executing the administration's policies. Workers who fall into that category would no longer be subject to rules that for decades have set a high bar for firing federal employees.  The Trump team, however, characterizes the move as one that gives the executive branch the ability to better shape the bureaucracy to help serve its agenda, instead of allowing it to clandestinely thwart it: The administration has been clear that the goal of the rule is to more easily fire workers they argue are hindering Trump policies — a nod to the president's claims of a “Deep State” within the federal government trying to undermine him. “This is not about people's views or ideas. This is about whether they are refusing to actually affect their duties on behalf of the American people consistent with the objectives of this administration,” said Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which promulgated the rule.   Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/drawandstrike/status/2020298873923567783?s=20   doesn’t agree with the 5th Circuit’s ruling. How in the world would you REINSTATE a policy where an illegal who successfully evaded detection at a port of entry has legal recourse to bond when those illegals detected at a port of entry do not? The 5th just rightfully found that NEITHER kind of illegal should have recourse to bond – whether they are detected at a port of entry or they successfully sneak into the country and are here for months/years before being caught. The fact this absurd situation persisted for decades shows you the system was rigged to allow human trafficking and to create a literal legal industry to facilitate it.      Trump can “legally” mass deport ALL illegals, whether they have committed a crime or not. “A federal appeals court ruled that Trump administration can lock up the vast majority of people it is seeking to deport without offering a chance for bond, even if they have no criminal records and have resided in the country for decades.        https://twitter.com/alexahenning/status/2020196173663867144?s=20 https://twitter.com/HansMahncke/status/2020253940374245522?s=20   https://twitter.com/DNIGabbard/status/2020227805976678574?s=20  control of the Whistleblower's complaint, so I obviously could not have “hidden” it in a safe. Biden-era IC Inspector General Tamara Johnson was in possession of and responsible for securing the complaint for months. – The first time I saw the whistleblower complaint was 2 weeks ago when I had to review it to provide guidance on how it should be securely shared with Congress. – As Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Warner knows very well that whistleblower complaints that contain highly classified and compartmented intelligence—even if they contain baseless allegations like this one—must be secured in a safe, which the Biden-era Inspector General Tamara Johnson did and her successor, Inspector General Chris Fox, continued to do. After IC Inspector General Fox hand-delivered the complaint to the Gang of 8, the complaint was returned to a safe where it remains, consistent with any information of such sensitivity. – Either Senator Warner knows these facts and is intentionally lying to the American people, or he doesn't have a clue how these things work and is therefore not qualified to be in the U.S. Senate—and certainly not the Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Here is a detailed chronology of the situation: – June 2025, I became aware that a whistleblower made a complaint against me that after further investigation, neither Biden-era IC Inspector General Tamara Johnson nor current IC Inspector General Chris Fox found the complaint to be credible. – The complaint required special handling and storage in a safe because the complainant chose to include highly sensitive information within the complaint itself rather than referencing the sensitive reporting and leaving the complaint at a lower level of classification. – Security standards for complaints that include such sensitive intelligence required the Inspector General to keep the complaint and the intelligence referenced secured in a safe from the time the complaint was made, until now. – In June 2025 after Biden-era Inspector General Tamara Johnson completed her review of the complaint, no further oversight or investigative activity took place. – Biden-era Inspector General Johnson had communicated with me directly throughout the course of her investigation into this complaint, yet neither she nor anyone from her office informed me that the Whistleblower chose to send the complaint to Congress which would require me to issue security instructions. – When a complaint is not found to be credible, there is no timeline under the law for the provision of security guidance. The “21 day” requirement that Senator Warner alleges I did not comply with, only applies when a complaint is determined by the Inspector General to be both urgent AND apparently credible. That was NOT the case here. – I was made aware of the need to provide security guidance by IC Inspector General Chris Fox on December 4, 2025, which he detailed in his letter to Congress. – I took immediate action to provide the security guidance to the Intelligence Community Inspector General who then shared the complaint and referenced intelligence with relevant members of Congress last week. Senator Warner’s decision to spread lies and baseless accusations over the months for political gain, undermines our national security and is a disservice to the American people and the Intelligence Community. https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/2020151219210137711?s=20   https://twitter.com/AlecLace/status/2019802427487027667?s=20 https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/2020150184374681890?s=20 https://twitter.com/AlecLace/status/2019849309148311983?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/2019941561367191842?s=20 https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/2020183096667128211?s=20  2.

This Day in Legal History: FDR's Court Packing PlanOn February 5, 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, better known as the “court-packing plan.” This controversial legislation aimed to expand the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court from nine to as many as fifteen. Roosevelt's justification was to improve the efficiency of the judiciary, but the underlying motive was widely understood to be frustration with the Court's consistent invalidation of New Deal legislation. The plan would have allowed the president to appoint an additional justice for every sitting justice over the age of 70½ who refused to retire.At the time, the Supreme Court had struck down several key components of Roosevelt's New Deal, including the National Recovery Administration and the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Although Roosevelt had just won re-election in a landslide in 1936, the proposal met immediate and bipartisan resistance in Congress and the press. Critics argued it threatened the separation of powers and judicial independence. Even members of Roosevelt's own party viewed the move as a dangerous overreach.Ultimately, the bill failed in the Senate. However, the controversy arguably pressured the Court to adopt a more favorable view of New Deal legislation. Justice Owen Roberts's shift in support of certain New Deal programs came to be dubbed “the switch in time that saved nine.” While Roosevelt did not get to add new justices through his plan, he eventually appointed eight Supreme Court justices over his long presidency, reshaping the Court over time.Georgia's Fulton County has filed a legal challenge over an FBI seizure of 2020 election records, arguing the search was overly broad and requesting the return of the documents. The motion, filed in federal court, also seeks to unseal the affidavit behind the warrant. The FBI searched the Fulton County Election Hub in Union City on January 28 as part of its investigation into President Donald Trump's false claims of widespread voter fraud in Georgia during the 2020 election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden. According to the warrant, agents were authorized to confiscate all physical ballots, tabulator tapes, and voter rolls from multiple voting methods. County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. criticized the process, noting the absence of an inventory or orderly transition of records, which raises concerns about potential document loss or tampering. He expressed skepticism about the value of any returned materials under such circumstances. The raid, perceived by local officials as politically motivated, has sparked fears of federal overreach and interference ahead of the 2026 midterms.Georgia's Fulton County challenges seizure of election records | ReutersJones Day, a major international law firm, has filed a lawsuit in New York state court against private equity firm Centre Lane Partners and multiple affiliated companies, alleging over $9.6 million in unpaid legal fees. The firm claims it served as Centre Lane's outside counsel since 2018, providing legal services across litigation, financing, acquisitions, and regulatory matters. Though Centre Lane reportedly had a consistent payment history, Jones Day alleges payments ceased in 2024 despite continued promises. Relying on assurances that payments were forthcoming, Jones Day says it rendered millions more in services, which it now claims were based on false representations.Notably, more than half of the unpaid fees stem from Jones Day's defense work in an ongoing antitrust case involving a Pennsylvania glass plant closure and an FTC investigation. As of last month, Jones Day began formally withdrawing from representing Centre Lane in active cases, and the law firm Greenberg Traurig has taken over in the antitrust matter. Among the defendants named are Centre Lane portfolio companies, including Anchor Hocking and Corelle Brands. The case remains unassigned in New York's Supreme Court, with no counsel yet listed for the defendants.Law firm Jones Day sues private equity firm, alleging $9.6 million in unpaid fees | ReutersThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified Abbott's recall of certain glucose monitoring devices as a Class I recall—the most serious level—after the products were linked to seven deaths and 860 serious injuries. The affected devices include specific lots of the FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors, which have been found to display inaccurately low blood sugar readings. Such faulty readings can lead users to make harmful treatment decisions, such as consuming too many carbohydrates or incorrectly adjusting insulin doses.Abbott disclosed that the devices may provide incorrect readings over extended periods, increasing the risk of serious medical complications for users who rely on continuous glucose data. The recall and its classification signal heightened concern from federal health regulators due to the potential for severe harm or death. As of early January, these issues had already caused significant patient harm. Abbott has not publicly detailed the total number of units affected or the geographic scope of the recall.Abbott recalls glucose sensors after seven deaths linked to faulty readings | ReutersIn an exclusive obtained by Bloomberg Law, the U.S. Department of Justice has directed all 93 U.S. attorney's offices to designate prosecutors for newly formed “emergency jump teams” by February 6.

The internal memo from DOJ Executive Office Director Francey Hakes outlines the initiative as a rapid-response measure to bolster prosecutorial presence in areas facing urgent demands.The move follows a wave of resignations in the Minneapolis U.S. attorney's office amid growing discontent over political targeting and controversial assignments, such as a disputed investigation into the widow of a protester killed by an ICE officer. While the memo does not directly mention Minneapolis, it aligns with Trump administration efforts to maintain aggressive law enforcement in left-leaning jurisdictions facing staff shortages.Offices previously affected by similar surges, including Chicago, Los Angeles, and D.C., have also suffered attrition, partly due to repeated grand jury refusals to indict protestors. The memo frames the jump teams not as litigators but as support staff to assist in command operations—handling triage, reviewing legal filings, and managing logistics.The order coincides with overt recruitment of ideologically aligned attorneys, including a public social media call for applicants who support Trump's anti-crime platform. Additionally, the jump teams will help implement Attorney General Pam Bondi's December directive to prioritize investigations into leftist groups like antifa.DOJ Orders Emergency Surge Prosecutors From All US Attorneys (2) This is a public episode.

The president of the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP), discusses her unique vision for innovation in the Arab world, emphasizing the crucial need to tie technological advancement to our roots, culture, heritage, and fundamental needs. Rama Chakaki shares insights from her career, which is defined by bridging the gap between impact and financial return, and explains QSTP's role as a platform for global innovation, nurturing deep-tech companies in sectors like AI, robotics, and biotech, with a focus on impact. The discussion delves into the pervasive "brain drain" phenomenon, with Chakaki observing a "reverse brain drain" as Arabs return to Doha and the region due to safety, resource availability, and a culture of belonging. She champions a bottom-up approach to innovation and addresses common misconceptions about Arab women in tech, highlighting their high representation in tech degrees and leadership roles. Finally, Chakaki challenges the Silicon Valley "unicorn" model, advocating for a community-built "elephant" model that prioritizes the double or triple bottom line—caring for people, the environment, and financial returns.Explore Qatar Science and Technology Park

Nora Szentivanyi is joined by Raphael Brun-Aguerre and Michael Hanson to discuss the latest global inflation developments. While fading last quarter's slide in core CPI inflation, a phase of sticky inflation reflecting common global dynamics looks to be ending and will give way to more disparate 2026 outcomes. US inflation is expected to accelerate above 3%oya as an early-year rebound combines with persistent goods price pressures. At the same time, declining goods prices and moderating wage pressures should push Euro area inflation down further to 1.9% . Early 2026 signals, including the flash Euro area HICP for January and US price surveys, lend support to our views.   This podcast was recorded on 04 February 2026.   This communication is provided for information purposes only.

Have you ever fallen victim to a RAT attack? No, not the furry kind, a Remote Access Trojan attack.  I'm discussing how cybercriminals use social engineering to target victims, and the real-world impact these threats can have on your investment accounts and personal information. I reveal the latest tactics scammers use, and, most importantly, offer practical tips to help you recognize warning signs, safeguard your accounts, and minimize your risk, whether you're an individual managing your retirement nest egg or a business owner overseeing company assets.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] What is a RAT attack? [02:45] Avoid clicking unknown links. [06:28] Preventing fraud through active monitoring. [09:44] Enhancing network security strategies. [10:48] Tips for staying secure online. The Escalating Threat of RAT Attacks There are an estimated 2,200 cyberattacks every day, or one every 39 seconds. Global financial damages from cybercrime are projected to rise from $9.5 trillion (2024) to an estimated $10.5 trillion in 2025. It's no longer a matter of if, but when, the next attack will happen. How a RAT Attack Unfolds Most RAT attacks begin with "social engineering", that is, psychological manipulation designed to get you to act against your best interest. This can look like an email or text from what appears to be a trusted company (think Schwab, Amazon, or EZ Pass), urging you to click a link or download an attachment. Do not click these links or download unknown files, even if the message creates a sense of urgency or familiarity. Even a simple PDF can be the Trojan horse that installs malware without you noticing. Once delivered, the RAT malware quietly installs itself, evading your detection. It can come bundled with software downloads, or even through "drive-by" downloads, just visiting a compromised website can infect your device without any clicking at all. More Than Just a Headache Recently, cybercriminals hacked a client's phone and attempted to transfer money from their investment account. Because my team actively monitors accounts and receives real-time alerts from Schwab, we caught the fraudulent activity before funds were lost. But not everyone is so lucky, if hackers compromise your credentials and accounts aren't closely watched, money could be transferred out, leaving you to face a lengthy investigation to recover your hard-earned savings. Simple Habits for Preventing Attacks Most successful attacks don't involve sophisticated hacking, they leverage human error. Train yourself (and if you're a business owner, your staff) to recognize phishing emails and suspicious texts. Verify unexpected requests directly with the company, never through the provided links. Lock Down Access Implement "least privilege" access, using strong, unique passwords and two-factor authentication for every account. For investment platforms and email, enable notifications for any account activity, so you're alerted instantly to suspicious changes. Secure remote connections with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and avoid unsecured public Wi-Fi. If you must work remotely, use your cell phone's secure hotspot rather than free Wi-Fi at a coffee shop. And never log on to bank or brokerage accounts on shared or public networks. Monitor and Layer Security Constant vigilance is your shield. Regularly monitor account activity and set up a system of alerts. Layer your security by combining access controls, firewalls, and regular updates. Always verify new contacts or software installations, adopt a "zero trust" mindset: trust, but always verify. Stay One Step Ahead No single solution can prevent all RAT attacks, but a combination of awareness, good digital habits, and layered security makes a world of difference. Being informed is your best defense. Activate two-factor authentication, review your notifications and account alerts, and approach every digital interaction with a healthy dose of skepticism.

I get my blood work done every 90 days and I swear it's the ultimate tip for health in the short term and in the long term and just feeling your best on he daily. So, today I'm going to try to convince you to do the same. Because there is a huge difference between being "not sick" and being truly healthy and if you aren't getting your bloodwork done at least once a year, you really don't know what's going on. Most people only get blood work done when something is wrong. When they feel bad. When they are exhausted. When a symptom won't go away. When a doctor orders it because something already happened. Instead of doing it reactively, we are talking about doing it proactively. How can you know what your body needs? What supplements or adjustments to your lifestyle… it's almost impossible without bloodwork. It tells you how your hormones are functioning. How inflamed your body is. How well you are absorbing nutrients. How your cholesterol is trending. How stressed your nervous system is. How your metabolism is working. How your immune system is functioning. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become a real problem.  Let's go! Your blood work is your internal dashboard. It's crazy that most people are driving their body blind!! I do full blood work every 90 days and I swear by it.  I'm going to break it all down today. Every 90 days I sit down with my functional medicine doctor, Dr. Singler, and we go through everything. We look at what's trending up. What's trending down. What needs support. What needs to be addressed. We adjust supplements. We talk about lifestyle changes. We sometimes talk about peptides. We look at stress markers like cortisol. We look at hormones. We look at inflammation. We look at cholesterol. We look at nutrient deficiencies. It's not just "do you have a disease." It's "what is your body asking for." And that quarterly check-in has become one of the most powerful forms of self-care I do. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become diagnoses. Because knowledge is power. And when it comes to your health, awareness is leverage. ***Why the Best Health and Longevity Experts Obsess Over Biomarkers When you listen to people like Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman, and leaders in longevity medicine, one theme is constant. You can't manage what you don't measure. They talk constantly about biomarkers. Blood markers. Hormones. Cholesterol. Glucose. Inflammation. Nutrients. Stress markers. Not because numbers are the goal. Because trends tell the truth. You don't need to wait until something is "out of range" to take action. You can see patterns forming. You can see directions your health is moving. You can intervene early. Longevity is not built by reacting to disease. Longevity is built by managing risk decades before disease shows up. Blood work lets you see inside the body instead of guessing from the outside. Energy, mood, sleep, weight, anxiety, motivation, focus, hormones, immune function… all of it leaves fingerprints in your labs. *** Why Every 90 Days Is a Sweet Spot Doing blood work every 90 days creates a rhythm. It's long enough for meaningful changes to occur. It's short enough to catch problems early. It's frequent enough to personalize your approach. This cadence allows you to: • See how supplements are actually working • Know if lifestyle changes are helping • Track hormones as they shift • Monitor cholesterol trends • Watch inflammation markers • Identify deficiencies before symptoms • See how stress is impacting your body It turns health into an ongoing relationship instead of a once-a-year appointment. Rather than living on autopilot, it becomes a quarterly check-in. "How is my body actually doing?" "What does it need right now?" "What needs to change?" ***The Power of Baselines One of the most underrated benefits of regular blood work is baselines. When you know what your normal looks like, everything changes. If something shifts, you see it faster. If you get sick, you have something to compare to. If symptoms show up, you're not starting from zero. Your baseline becomes your personal health fingerprint. This is especially powerful with hormones, thyroid, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, glucose, and nutrient levels. Medicine is often built around population averages. But health is personal. Your optimal range is not always the same as "normal." Blood work every 90 days teaches you your body. ***Personalization Instead of Guessing Most people take supplements blindly. They try what's trending. What a friend is taking. What TikTok says. What an ad promises. Blood work removes guessing. You stop throwing things at your body and hoping. You start making informed decisions. When I review labs with my doctor, we are not just looking for problems. We are optimizing. We adjust supplements based on what my body is actually showing. We talk about hormones. We talk about stress. We talk about sleep. We talk about hydration. We talk about inflammation. We talk about recovery. If cortisol is elevated, the conversation shifts to lifestyle, nervous system, sleep, slowing down, hydration, sauna, recovery. If something is low, we talk about absorption, nutrition, and targeted support. It becomes a dialogue with your body instead of a guessing game. ***Emotional Health Lives in the Labs Too This is not just physical. Your labs often reflect your emotional and mental load. Stress hormones. Inflammation. Blood sugar instability. Nutrient depletion. Your body keeps the receipts. Blood work gives you objective data to support lifestyle changes. Sometimes the answer is not another supplement. Sometimes it's rest. Sleep. Boundaries. Sunlight. Movement. Slowing down. It's incredibly empowering to see that connection clearly. It turns self-care into strategy, not indulgence. ***How I Do It and How You Could Do It The way I do it is higher touch and more expensive. I use a mobile blood draw that comes to my house. Then I schedule a long call with my functional medicine doctor to go through everything. We take our time. We look at the full picture. We build a plan. But you do not have to do it that way. You can ask your doctor to order labs. You can go to a clinic and make an appointment so you're not waiting forever. You can get a basic panel and build from there. You can even upload your results into ChatGPT and use it as an educational tool to help you understand what the markers mean and what questions to ask your doctor. This doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be consistent. ***Why This Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make We spend money on convenience. On clothes. On food. On homes. On trips. On businesses. But nothing affects the quality of your life more than the quality of your health. Energy. Mood. Confidence. Focus. Longevity. Relationships. Joy. Blood work every 90 days is not an expense. It is intelligence. It is prevention. It is personalization. It is early detection. It is self-leadership. It is saying, "I care about how long I live and how well I live." ***Most people wait for symptoms to tell them something is wrong. But by the time symptoms show up, your body has usually been whispering for a long time. Blood work lets you hear the whispers. It lets you see trends before problems. Adjust before crashes. Support before burnout. Correct before disease. For me, doing blood work every 90 days has become a quarterly health check-in with myself. How am I really doing? What does my body need? What needs to change? What needs support? It keeps me connected to my health instead of disconnected from it. And I truly believe this is one of the most powerful forms of preventative self-care anyone can adopt. So if you take anything from this episode, let it be this. Don't wait for something to go wrong.  Start tracking your health while things are going right. There's nothing more important or worth spending your time and money on!

Dr. Kari Johnstone joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they discuss how traffickers adapt fast, moving money, victims, and exploitation through digital systems most of us interact with every day, examining whether our institutions are adapting fast enough to protect victims without them risking everything to testify.Dr. Kari JohnstoneDr. Kari Johnstone is the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, representing the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe at the political level on human trafficking issues and coordinating anti-trafficking efforts across the OSCE region. Before joining the OSCE, Dr. Johnstone spent nearly a decade (2014-2023) as Senior Official, Acting Director, and Principal Deputy Director of the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP), where she advised senior leadership on global trafficking policy and programming and oversaw the annual Trafficking in Persons Report. Her extensive U.S. government service also includes senior roles in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Dr. Johnstone holds a B.A. from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.Key PointsThe OSCE survey revealed a 17-fold increase in forced criminality cases over five years across the 57 member states, making it the fastest growing form of human trafficking globally.Forced scamming, which originated in Southeast Asia, is now being exported to other regions as criminals adopt this lucrative business model that exploits victims with brutal tactics to defraud others.Technology and artificial intelligence present both challenges and opportunities in combating trafficking, allowing law enforcement to process data more quickly to find victims and perpetrators while also being misused by traffickers for recruitment and exploitation.Financial intelligence and following the money can supplement or even replace victim testimony in prosecutions, reducing the burden on survivors and providing effective pathways to convict traffickers.The non-punishment principle remains woefully inadequate in practice worldwide, with victims often arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for crimes directly related to their trafficking experience, creating lifelong consequences that prevent access to housing, employment, and stability.The United States leads globally on criminal record relief for trafficking survivors, with 48-49 states having vacature or expungement laws and new federal legislation (Trafficking Survivor Relief Act) awaiting presidential signature, though much work remains worldwide.Victim assistance must be unlinked from the criminal justice process, allowing survivors to receive care and services first before deciding whether to cooperate with law enforcement, which actually increases the likelihood they will come forward and participate.The demographics of trafficking victims are shifting beyond stereotypes, with forced scamming targeting educated individuals with IT and language skills, while forced criminality increasingly exploits younger children, including those under age 10, for drug-related crimes and violence.ResourcesOrganization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)OSCE Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human BeingsProtocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (UN Palermo Protocol)UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in PersonsU.S. State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in PersonsTrafficking in Persons ReportTrafficking Survivors Relief ActEnding Human Trafficking PodcastTranscriptTranscript will be here when available.

Welcome to episode #1021 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when strategy is often confused with forecasting and certainty is mistaken for rigor, the work of Roger Martininsists on a more demanding discipline: making clear, integrated choices under uncertainty. Named the world's #1 management thinker by Thinkers50 in 2017, Roger is a writer, strategy advisor, and the former Dean at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, where he served for fifteen years and reshaped how management education engages with real-world complexity. Over decades, he has advised CEOs at companies including Procter & Gamble, Lego, Ford, American Express, Verizon, and Steelcase, helping leaders move beyond abstract ambition toward actionable, coherent strategies. His thinking has long been a personal touchstone for navigating difficult, high-stakes business problems, and he remains my go-to guide when confronting complexity that resists easy answers… a familiarity reinforced by his return here after previous appearances. Before academia, he spent thirteen years at Monitor, serving as co-head of the firm and grounding his thinking in the realities of corporate decision-making. His newly updated book, Playing To Win, Expanded With Bonus HBR Articles - How Strategy Really Works co-authored with A.G. Lafley, remains one of the most influential strategy texts of the modern era, distilling strategy into a set of five integrated choices about where to play and how to win, supported by capabilities and systems that reinforce those decisions. Across thirteen books and more than thirty Harvard Business Review articles, Roger has explored integrative thinking, democratic capitalism, governance and the design of business itself, consistently challenging leaders to resist false tradeoffs and simplistic answers. His work confronts contemporary issues head-on: the misuse of AI as an answer machine rather than a thinking partner, the hollowing out of education into ideological extremes, the erosion of institutional trust and the persistent illusion that the future must resemble the past. Through it all, his argument is steady and clear: strategy fundamentals endure, and superior managerial effectiveness begins with disciplined thinking, principled choice, and the courage to commit. If you're not following his free Substack, you reall should. It's always an honor to spend tie with Roger. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 58:39. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Some will get with the program, and some will be crushed in the process. The predictable pattern they are currently running looks extremely insane. They knew people would follow the stars, so now it's an operation. Fake representation of the public while initiating chaos. The loudest denials are not from the most guilty. Organized operations were started early on. Distractions make things look foggy. Precision matters in real work. The FBI has it all. Where there is no evidence, there is no crime. Proximity to power is not insight. Alleged allies are funding subversion. Real briefings are happening elsewhere. The largest groups presents themselves as allies because it's profitable. Dismissal does not stop serious investigations. Pattern recognition shows danger. It's not Soros behind all this. Selective exposure is another of their tactics. Congress members are in the signal calls. We should run Paxton like a race horse. Let's cut some thunder and do the work. Harvard is funded by the ChiComs. ICE once protected the vulnerable. The NRO is more important. Influencers poison the truth well. It's hard, but we have to carefully listen to their plans and decipher the mindset. Then let's all pray for victory, and humanity.
