In this episode, Matt reflects on the idea of “optimized health” and challenges the notion that health is simply the absence of disease or looking fit on the outside. Using personal examples and observations from the gym, he explains how many people have hidden gaps in their foundations—rest, nutrition, and movement—that prevent them from feeling their best, even if they exercise regularly or eat clean. The conversation emphasizes that optimization isn't about perfection or extreme protocols, but about identifying blind spots such as poor sleep, excessive screen time, nutrient deficiencies, limited mobility, weak grip strength, or imbalanced training. By strengthening these foundations and filling individual gaps, health becomes more sustainable, more effortless, and better integrated into daily life, allowing people to have the energy, resilience, and physical freedom they want long term.

Most people think an “optimized” LinkedIn profile means:• A good headline• A solid About section• A decent profile photoThose things matter.But they are not what actually moves people to trust you or take action.In this training, I break down the three most overlooked pieces of an optimized LinkedIn profile that quietly do the heavy lifting for you.1. Your background banner- This is prime real estate.- It should instantly tell someone:- Who you help, what problem you solve, and why they should keep reading.If your banner is generic, decorative, or empty, you're leaving authority on the table.2. Your featured content sectionThis is not a place for random links.- It should function like a conversion hub:- A resource, guide, newsletter, or next step that helps someone move from interest to action without a sales pitch.This section works for you 24/7 when it's intentional.3. LinkedIn recommendationsSocial proof is not optional.- Recommendations tell your story from someone else's mouth.- They remove doubt, build credibility, and validate your expertise in a way no About section ever could.When these three pieces are aligned, your profile stops being a resume and starts working like a business asset.If your profile gets views but not conversations, these are usually the missing pieces.Don't forget to register for our Amateur to Expert 5 Day Workshop here: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/AtoEonLinkedinWorkshop

Real Estate Syndication Investment Overview Michael and Stewart explored the world of real estate syndication and why it has become a practical alternative to traditional property ownership. They explained how 25 to 50 investors can pool their capital to purchase larger properties, giving individuals access to substantial real estate deals without managing the property themselves. Stewart pointed out that although real estate is generally less liquid than stocks, the future looks promising as tokenization grows and could make private deals more accessible within the next few years. Understanding Investment Risks and Rewards Michael and Stewart broke down the complexities of alternative investments, especially in areas like cryptocurrency and innovative financial models. Stewart explained SEC rules for accredited investors and shared that typical syndicate minimums start at $50,000, with $25,000 possible for new investor relationships. They highlighted the potential for recurring cash flow, attractive tax advantages, and average annual returns around 13.5 percent, with a minimum expected return of 6.5 percent in the first year. Real Estate Tax Depreciation Benefits The conversation shifted into tax strategy, where Stewart explained how depreciation and bonus depreciation can significantly impact an investor's bottom line. He described cost recovery, the ability to deduct the cost of an asset over time, and how current tax laws allow for 100 percent bonus depreciation on certain types of personal property. Michael and Stewart emphasized that real estate offers unique tax opportunities through cost segregation, allowing investors to classify a large portion of a property's cost as personal property and deduct it in the first year. Real Estate Investment Tax Benefits and Market Outlook Michael and Stewart emphasized the importance of solid research and guidance from qualified financial professionals when evaluating real estate investments. They discussed how the U.S. economy is heavily tied to real estate and how government incentives often support development. Stewart shared his outlook on the housing market, predicting potential movement in the first half of next year if interest rates ease and new policies, such as down payment support or extended mortgage terms, are introduced. Housing Market and Investment Insights Wrapping up, Michael and Stewart discussed the importance of a balanced housing ecosystem that supports both home ownership and rental opportunities. Stewart encouraged listeners to explore more about their projects at harvardGrace.com and offered a free digital copy of his latest book to help aspiring investors deepen their understanding of real estate investing. Stewart O. Heath, CPA Stewart is the Founder and CEO of Harvard Grace Capital, a private equity real estate investment firm that helps individuals and business owners build wealth faster through hands-off real estate investing that generates passive income, reduces risk, and maximizes tax efficiencies. Backed by a combined 150+ years of entrepreneurial and CRE experience, Stewart and the Harvard Grace Capital team have raised millions of dollars via syndications, and consistently deliver tax-advantaged 18%+ ROI on well-located commercial real estate assets (office, retail, medical, self-storage, etc.) between Nashville, Tennessee and Birmingham , Alabama. Harvard Grace Capital stands out in a crowded market because of its focus on stabilized commercial real estate, which cash flows from day one – a refreshing contrast to high-risk, speculative ventures. Stewart and his team prioritize consistency and resilience in an economy that feels increasingly unpredictable, often reciting their motto: “boring is beautiful.” A Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Stewart brings over 40 years of business experience to the real estate sector. His background spans multifamily and commercial development, construction, management, and investing, but it's his CPA-level financial rigor that gives him an edge in deal analysis and risk mitigation. Stewart's journey has been deeply shaped by his comeback after losing everything in the 2008 financial crisis. Rather than retreating, he rebuilt smarter. He learned how to structure real estate portfolios that provide tax-optimized long-term, reliable returns. That experience now fuels his mission: to help investors navigate uncertain markets with investments that perform through all cycles and beat inflation. More about Stewart: Served as a COO/CFO across industries including media, manufacturing, and retail; held leadership positions at Tennessee Valley Properties, Creative Trust Ventures, Gaines Manufacturing Company, and more. Former Board Member of the Freedom Business Alliance, the only global network creating business solutions to human trafficking. Worked as a tax consultant with PwC in the 1980s, creating value or tax savings in the millions of dollars. Hosted the Growth, Grace & Prosperity Podcast, where he interviewed top entrepreneurs, executives, and wealth builders about what it takes to succeed in business and life.

Payers are increasingly using AI to scan claims, flag anomalies, and trigger denials or audits automatically—often without transparency and long before anyone on the hospital side understands what happened. As these systems accelerate, hospitals face growing exposure, especially when documentation, data flow, and internal AI tools aren't aligned with how payer models interpret clinical and financial information. This session unpacks the mechanics behind automated decision-making, why even accurate claims can be flagged, and how missing audit trails or inconsistent documentation can undermine appeals.

Brandon Schuh sits down with Dean Hildebrandt, President and CEO of Assurex Global, to explore how mega-broker consolidation is reshaping the insurance brokerage landscape. As consolidation accelerates in 2025, with mega-brokers absorbing smaller firms through billion-dollar acquisitions, including Willis Towers Watson's $1.3 billion purchase of Newfront and Baldwin Group's $1 billion acquisition of CAC Group, the conversation reveals how private equity is driving transactions that, while profitable for financial sponsors, leave clients, carriers, and employees bearing the costs. Dean brings two decades of expertise from his leadership at Associated Benefits and Risk Consulting and his pivotal role at Ahmann-Martin before joining Assurex.Dean challenges the prevailing narrative around these mega-deals, arguing that the real winners aren't clients or carriers but private equity firms extracting value through EBITDA portfolio plays. Throughout the episode, he details how consolidation is accelerating talent acquisitions and market share gains for independent, regionally-focused brokers like those in the Assurex network, firms that prioritize relationships, client service, and stability over spreadsheet metrics. The discussion also highlights Assurex's structural innovation: the launch of AG London, a first-of-its-kind London wholesale broker owned by 30 Assurex firms that operates under perpetual independence and cannot be acquired or sold.As the industry looks ahead to 2026-2027, Dean and Brandon examine how technology and AI will reshape brokerage operations while emphasizing that true competitive advantage lies in understanding the full value chain. The episode underscores a fundamental tension in modern insurance. Whether consolidation will create better client outcomes or simply enrich financial sponsors while destabilizing the very firms and relationships that hold the industry together. For independent brokers navigating this landscape, the conversation offers both cautionary lessons and a compelling vision of an alternative future.Chapters02:30 – Wine recommendations and AI tool comparisons07:00 – Introduction to Dean Hildebrandt and his background10:00 – Dean's entry into brokerage and early career with Ahmann-Martin14:00 – Overview of 2025 consolidation trends and mega-broker activity16:30 – Willis Towers Watson acquires Newfront for $1.3 billion19:00 – Baldwin Group purchases CAC Group for $1 billion22:00 – Private equity's role in driving M&A transactions26:00 – How consolidation impacts clients, carriers, and employees31:00 – The absence of client perspective in private equity discussions35:00 – Deal sizing and EBITDA economics in mega-acquisitions39:00 – Why independent brokers are thriving amid consolidation42:00 – Introduction to Howden's US market entry strategy46:00 – Assurex's strategic response: AG London launch and structure51:00 – Dean's journey to Assurex Global leadership54:00 – Technology, AI, and automation in brokerage operations58:00 – How carriers are adapting to industry transformation61:00 – Conclusion and future outlook for independent brokerageConnect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Brandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/ Dean Hildebrandt - President & CEO, Assurex GlobalWebsite: https://www.assurexglobal.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dean-hildebrandt-09810baAbout Assurex Global:Founded in 1954, Assurex Global is the world's largest privately held commercial insurance, risk management, and employee benefits brokerage group, combining local expertise with global reach across more than 600 partner office
ArTEEtude. West Cork´s first Art, Fashion & Design Podcast by Detlef Schlich.
With satire and tenderness, they move through summer snowmen in discount aisles and the uncanny moment when a Christmas song in Lidl seems to narrate the shopping experience in real time — a festive loop of: Scan. Beep. Smile. Repeat.Beneath the humor, the episode asks what remains human when meaning is constantly being packaged. The answer is quiet and radical: presence, boundaries, and off-screen gestures that don't scale.The episode closes with gratitude and a musical gift: WAW — “Silent Night (Reimagined)”, following a recent #1 spot on The Cork's Playlist (third Advent week). Thanks to Neill and to everyone listening, sharing, and supporting this non-profit podcast.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBand"The Niles Bittersweet Song" WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

Learn how to take back control of your Amazon PPC, fix costly agency mistakes, and use rules-based ads plus new Sponsored Products video formats to scale profitably on Amazon. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley dives into one of the biggest pitfalls he sees Amazon sellers fall into: handing their PPC over to an agency before they truly understand how advertising works. That loss of control doesn't just cost money; it keeps you in the dark on whether your campaigns are actually growing your brand or quietly draining profits in the background. To prove it, he spotlights a real case study from the new Helium 10 Outsourced to Optimized series. Helium 10's own Carrie Miller and Destaney Wishon from BetterAMS walk through what happened when they opened Carrie's account: profitable campaigns randomly shut off, creatives that didn't match search intent, and VCPM display campaigns that looked like rock stars in the dashboard but weren't driving incremental sales. From there, they rebuild the entire strategy on the fundamentals: a clean campaign structure, SKUs grouped intelligently, 10-30 targets per campaign, and rules-based bid management tied to real business objectives, such as organic rank, BSR, and strict ACoS targets. Throughout the conversation, you'll see how a self-described “non-PPC person” can learn to manage sophisticated Amazon ads with the help of Helium 10 Ads and their Ads Academy training. Destaney shows Carrie how to utilize bid rules, keyword harvesting, negative targeting, and Amazon's newer tools, such as Creative Studio and Sponsored Products video ads, without turning PPC into a full-time job. They also break down off-season strategies, what to fix when you're getting impressions but no conversions, and how much of your revenue should realistically flow back into ads. The big takeaway: whether you keep an agency, lean on software, or run everything yourself, you need to understand the basics of Amazon PPC so you can keep partners accountable and finally take back control of your Amazon advertising. In episode 479 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley, Carrie, and Destaney discuss: 00:00 – Introduction 05:48 – Carrie's Amazon PPC Agency Issues 07:19 – Carrie Learns PPC From Scratch 10:23 – Rules-Based Bidding With Helium 10 Ads 14:24 – When To Automate Your Amazon Ads 18:11 – Scalable Campaign Structure For Sellers 23:16 – Single-Keyword Campaigns & Dayparting 28:36 – Keyword-Specific Creatives & Creative Studio 30:54 – Off-Season Strategy & Fixing Conversions 33:08 – Sponsored Product Video Ads Launch 36:00 – Scaling Benchmarks & Ad Spend Targets 40:09 – Final PPC Lessons & Next Step

From Discovery to Delivery: Charting Progress in Gynecologic Oncology, hosted by Ursula A. Matulonis, MD, brings expert insights into the most recent breakthroughs, evolving standards, and emerging therapies across gynecologic cancers. Dr Matulonis is chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology and the Brock-Wilcon Family Chair at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, both in Boston, Massachusetts. In this episode, Dr Matulonis sat down with guest Panagiotis (Panos) A. Konstantinopoulos, MD, PhD, to discuss the different subtypes of endometrial cancer and treatment developments for this disease. Dr Konstantinopoulos is the director of Translational Research in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, the director of the Mellen and Eisenson Family Center for BRCA and Related Genes, and the Velma Eisenson Chair for Clinical and Translational Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; as well as a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Drs Matulonis and Konstantinopoulos explained that patients with mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR) tumors substantially benefit from a decreased risk of progression or death when immunotherapy is added to standard therapy. They noted that immunotherapy appears important for the management of dMMR tumors, even those in earlier stages or in patients who have no measurable disease remaining after surgery. For MMR-proficient (pMMR) tumors, Drs Matulonis and Konstantinopoulos highlighted that PD-1 blockade combined with chemotherapy improves survival vs chemotherapy alone, but that this benefit is not as substantial as that seen in dMMR disease. Crucially, they reported that if a pMMR tumor has no measurable disease after surgery, adding immune checkpoint blockade does not appear beneficial. They stated that tailored treatment approaches are key for managing pMMR disease subtypes. They added that hormonal therapy may be used upfront for slow-growing, estrogen receptor–positive metastatic disease. They continued by saying that DNA damage and replication stress are critical targets, particularly in p53-mutated tumors, like uterine serous cancers. Furthermore, they stressed that although the antibody-drug conjugate fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (Enhertu) is highly effective in HER2-positive tumors, treatment with this agent requires monitoring for toxicities, including interstitial lung disease and decreased ejection fraction.

Title: Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) Staining Optimized for Image Analysis of Muscle Tissue Morphometry Authors: Cheru, R. and Wolf, J.C., Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc., Sterling, Virginia Abstract: Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) is a plant-derived lectin and fluorescent stain that binds to N-acetylglucosamine and sialic acid residues in tissues, making it a valuable histochemical tool for visualizing cell membranes and components of the extracellular matrix. In muscle tissue, WGA staining allows clear delineation of the laminin-labeled basal membrane outlining each myofiber, distinguishing it from the residual autofluorescence of the myofiber sarcoplasm. To support digital pathology applications, a WGA staining protocol was optimized for compatibility with image-based quantitative analysis. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded muscle sections were stained with fluorescently labeled WGA, counterstained with DAPI for nuclear visualization, and mounted with antifade medium to preserve fluorescence. Image analysis of WGA-stained skeletal muscle was successfully performed by a pathologist using Image-Pro® Plus software, employing macros to assess myofiber size and count.
Ed Kashi on Archiving, Personal Projects & the Future of Photojournalism Insights from the “10 Frames Per Second” Podcast with photojournalist Ed Kashi, co‑founder of Talking Eyes Media, and his newest book A Period of Time (Briscoe Center, UT Austin). Ed's career spans 40 years of visual storytelling—from early analog darkrooms to iPhone coverage of Hurricane Sandy, from Iraq's Kurdish frontlines to a decades‑long “Aging in America” project. His journey offers timeless lessons for anyone who creates, curates, or consumes visual media. 10 Frames Per Second – a weekly photojournalism podcast from Loyola Radio (WLOY) – brings together veteran photojournalists to discuss the craft, the business, and the stories that shape our world. In episode 168 (released 12/02/25), hosts Molly Roberts, and guest host Stephen Crowley (a guest on Episode 91) sit down with Ed Kashi, a 40‑year visual storyteller who has worked for National Geographic, The New Yorker, Time, MSNBC and more. “We love to start with an origin story. So, Ed, how did you first fall in love with photography?” – Molly The interview uncovers the hidden gems behind Kashi's career, his new retrospective book, and the lessons he's learned while navigating a changing media landscape. If you're a photojournalist, documentary filmmaker, or simply love visual storytelling, you've just landed on a summary of Ed Kashi's recent interview on the 10 Frames Per Second podcast. We break down: Ed Kashi's origin story and why photography hooked him 50 years ago. The making of his new book A Period of Time (Briscoe Center, UT Austin). Why archiving is essential for a sustainable career. The power of personal projects—especially his “Aging in America” series. Mentorship tips for emerging photographers. Ethical challenges in the age of AI. Grab a coffee, skim the headings, and dive into the actionable takeaways! How Ed Kashi Fell in Love With Photography Freshman at Syracuse University (1976) – originally wanted to be a novelist, but a poetry professor told him he was “a really bad writer.” Discovered the Newhouse School of Public Communications, one of the world's top photojournalism programs. Took a basic black‑and‑white darkroom course, learned about legendary photographer Imogen Cunningham (who was still shooting in her 90s). Realized photography could synthesize politics, art, and storytelling—the perfect medium for his activist spirit. “Even at age 10 I was stuffing envelopes for Hubert Humphrey against Nixon. Photography just seemed the vehicle to combine that political impulse with art.” Takeaway for Readers If you're just starting out, look for a mentor or a historic figure who inspires you. That spark can sustain a 50‑year career. A Period of Time: A 40‑Year Retrospective Why a Retrospective Now? Archive donation – Ed Kashi gave 127 banker‑boxes of negatives, slides, prints, and ephemera to the Briscoe Center for American History (UT Austin). Unexpected invitation – Briscoe's director, Don Carlton, asked Ed Kashi, “How does one get collected?” and then offered to collect him. Creative freedom – The Center gave him full editorial control: “This is your story. Do whatever you want.” The Book's Core Idea Linear, issue‑oriented storytelling – Each chapter is a deep dive into a major project (e.g., Northern Ireland, Kurds, Aging in America). Scholarly rigor meets journalistic depth – The book reads like a photo‑anthropology textbook with stunning visuals. “Opening the book felt like holding a newborn—overwhelming but beautiful.” The Power of a Well‑Organized Archive “My archive is like a garden; I can harvest what I need because everything is sorted.” – Ed Kashi How Ed Kashi Keeps His Archive Manageable Early adoption of digital workflow – Transitioned from analog boxes to searchable digital files. Meticulous cataloguing – Every image tagged by date, location, project, and theme. Professional support – Collaborated with studio managers (e.g., Frish Brandt) and curators (e.g., Alison Nordstrom). Benefits for Photojournalists Monetization – Ability to license old images for new publications. Storytelling efficiency – Quickly locate relevant photos for pitches or books. Legacy preservation – Ensures future generations can study and exhibit the work. Quick Tips to Organize Your Own Archive Create a consistent naming convention (YYMMDD_Location_Project_Sequence). Use metadata tags for keywords, people, and locations. Back up on at least two external drives and a cloud service. Review annually – purge duplicates and update tags. Personal Projects: The “Aging in America” Series Why Aging? Not “sexy” but universally human – Kashi wanted a topic that would outlive trends. Long‑term commitment – 8 years, 25 states, $300k in grant funding (Robert Wood Johnson, George Soros). Humanizing statistics – The project shows “the vitality of life, love, and hope” beyond the typical “dying” narrative. Key Outcomes Iconic image – Death scene of Maxine Peters (West Virginia) that resonates across cultures. Global collaboration – “Climate Elders” exhibition at COP 30, involving 150 photographers from 40 countries. Lessons for Emerging Photographers Research first; then shoot – Deep immersion builds trust and authentic moments. Secure funding early – Grants give creative freedom and resources. Be patient – Long‑term projects earn credibility and impact. Mentorship & Teaching: Ed Kashi's Advice for New Photographers Area Kashi's Insight Actionable Tip Tenacity “Failure is not an option; keep going.” Set mini‑milestones; celebrate small wins. Ethics No manipulation, no staging; honor subjects as collaborators. Draft a personal ethics checklist before each shoot. Access Build relationships; be respectful of vulnerable communities. Attend local events, volunteer, network before pitching. AI & Credibility Trust reputable media; AI threatens misinformation. Verify sources; use AI for organization, not image creation. Joy of Photography Keep the joy alive—look at others' work for inspiration. Schedule weekly “inspiration sessions” with peers. Ethics & AI: The New Frontier Ed Kashi worries about political actors using AI to fake images, not about entertainment misuse. He believes trusted news outlets (NYT, BBC, National Geographic) will gain more value as AI blurs reality. Over‑post‑production can create a gloomy aesthetic that misrepresents the world. Practical Guidance Never alter factual content in post‑production. Label AI‑generated edits clearly if they're artistic. Teach media literacy: help audiences distinguish authentic journalism from AI‑fueled “deepfakes.” Closing Thoughts, Ed Kashi Call‑to‑Action Ed Kashi's journey—from a panic‑driven freshman at Syracuse to a globally respected visual storyteller—offers an actionable roadmap for anyone chasing a sustainable photojournalism career. Archive like a gardener. Invest in personal, issue‑driven projects. Mentor, learn, and stay ethically grounded. Embrace technology wisely, especially AI. Want More?

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we decode the latest breakthroughs, news, and hidden truths about one of the world's most talked-about weight loss drugs. Today, the buzz is about change—how new research, fresh delivery methods, and evolving regulations are reshaping the Ozempic story. Let us start with what is most recent. There is a big development: needles may no longer be necessary. According to reporting in Popular Mechanics and new data published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, has released results for a daily oral version of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic. In their clinical trial, this pill matched the weight loss produced by the weekly injection, with an average of 16.6 percent reduction in body weight. About a third of participants lost more than 20 percent. While side effects like nausea and vomiting were reported at higher rates than placebo, this new pill could make using these drugs more accessible than ever.Access is also the hot topic in pricing. Until this year, monthly Ozempic prescriptions could cost up to $1,350 without insurance support. But after new negotiations, many users will soon pay $50 to $350 per month, depending on dosage and coverage. Lower prices are expected to make these drugs far more widely available.So, how well does Ozempic stack up in its primary role? Ozempic was first approved to treat type two diabetes, with weight loss as a major secondary effect. Harper Clinic Utah reports that, in clinical trials, people using Ozempic lost on average between 10 and 15 percent of their body weight over a little more than a year. But real world success depends on how consistently people use it and whether they also improve their diet and exercise habits.Now a common question—how does Ozempic compare to newer weight loss options like Zepbound and Wegovy? The main distinction is the active ingredient. Ozempic uses semaglutide, which triggers the body to release the hormone GLP-1, helping you feel fuller and slow digestion. Zepbound uses tirzepatide, which mimics both GLP-1 and a second hormone called GIP, and results from major trials suggest it can lead to more dramatic weight loss—up to 21 percent of body weight in some studies. However, Ozempic remains covered by insurance for diabetes, while Zepbound is less often covered.Beyond weight, a new area of research is exploring how Ozempic could affect long-term health conditions. According to ScienceDaily, a recent large-scale analysis found that when people stop using prescription weight loss drugs like Ozempic, they tend to regain much of their lost weight, underscoring the need for ongoing treatment or lifestyle change. But these medicines may do much more than affect weight. Recent studies at University of California San Diego found that people with colon cancer who were on GLP-1 drugs were less than half as likely to die within five years. Another new UVA study, covered by Fox News and ScienceDaily, points to dramatically lower death rates in cancer patients who use GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic—potentially because they lower inflammation and improve metabolic health.There is also new investigation about Ozempic's possible use in treating long COVID. According to research covered by ClickOnDetroit, anecdotal reports suggest that some people taking GLP-1 drugs for weight loss also experienced improvement in their post-COVID symptoms, and new clinical trials are underway.Despite these major advances, affordability and access remain challenges. The latest KFF Health Tracking Poll says that about one in eight adults in the United States are now taking a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound. But half of those surveyed still find the drugs financially out of reach, even as prices are starting to come down.What does all this mean for lifestyle and health? The current scientific consensus is clear: these drugs do not replace needed changes in eating habits and physical activity. As physicians emphasize, Ozempic works best as part of a treatment plan that includes real lifestyle change.As you can see, Ozempic and drugs like it are not just a story about slimming down—they are opening doors to better health, new medical research, and greater access for millions.

Remember, Over the last 14 years, I have done everything I can to help as many #jobseekers as possible via Power Point presentations, documents , speaking engagements and now LinkedIn presentations that LinkedIn promotes for me. I also, whenever possible, scroll down my feed and every time I see a person that is #opentowork, I drop an invite to my next #LinkedInLive event or if I am not having one my #YouTube page that has hundreds of videos and audio events. I know that I have helped thousands of people in some way to get out of the canyon called #Unemployment and back into the job world. I could've charged a lot of money to a lot of people over the years because my stuff works and it works fast if you are someone that goes and attacks challenges. I don't charge people a lot of money because they need their money to eat and pay their rent and provide for their family when they are unemployed because they don't know when that nightmare will end. That is why I don't make it a giant moneymaking endeavor. I do this from the heart because I never forget how bad it felt to be unemployed and how awful every day was until I knew what my next job was. That said, I cannot believe when someone is offered free help from someone who has been doing it for as long as I have that they would ignore my invite and not come to the event. All I will say is here is an invite to my next event and if you are a #jobseeker you should come because something I say will help you to get in next great opportunity. It's different for every person, but something will resonate. With all of the people being mistreated and ghosted and punched in the face on this platform by people who have no interest in helping, I offer all I can give you to help you get back on your feet.

Bluetech's wind-optimized SeaWasp tanker design models demonstrate significant gains in propulsion power and fuel savings on representative trade routes, based on a joint research project with tanker owner International Seaways, Inc. (INSW) Bluetech partnered with NYSE-listed INSW to explore a critical question: Can wind propulsion deliver more power in our ships of the future? Advanced simulations using Bluetech's new 'SeaWasp' vessel design showed the answer to be a resounding yes. SeaWasp boosts vessel performance With the support of wind-propulsion specialist Norsepower, Bluetech modified its BT50 design to extract maximum forward thrust from two 35-metre Rotor SailsTM. This resulted in a total savings of up to 876 kW of propulsion power on one representative INSW MR tanker route from San Francisco to South Korea - equating to around 597.2 MT of fuel per annum. The design modifications alone are estimated to contribute 104 kW or 71.5 MT of the savings, effectively improving the vessel's overall performance by around 13.5% in certain conditions. Wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP or sometimes WAPS) technologies have traditionally been used to add propulsion power to existing ship types that were not originally designed to accommodate such forces. Even newbuild projects that integrate WASP from the planning phase make little or no changes to the ship's overall design beyond what is necessary to install the units and comply with regulations. However, Bluetech's designers went back to the drawing board with SeaWasp, creating a vessel that is purpose-designed for wind, but still practical for INSW MR fleet operations. STRONG FOCUS ON OPERATING PROFILE "We set out to develop a ship that is entirely WASP-optimized, but maintains every essential operational feature and meets all trade-specific terminal and port restrictions," said Sam Robin, Director of Energy Savings Solutions at Bluetech. Michael LaGrassa, Director of Performance and New Construction at INSW, added: "We focused on more than just energy savings and emissions reduction - our goal was a concept design that works in the real-world conditions of the MR trade. That meant ensuring reasonable build costs, equivalent cargo capacity and a design fit for purpose. Our approach was to test a wide range of scenarios across the MR trade, rather than rely on selectively favorable assumptions." For this reason, the project also carefully examined the lower end of the savings potential. For example, on a route from South Korea to Singapore, the SeaWasp saves 185.9 MT or 275 kW per annum versus a conventionally powered BT50, due to the prevailing wind directions. Keeping such a baseline allowed for a range in the data analysis and ensured that any commercial projections were realistic. EFFICIENCY BY DESIGN - ABOVE AND BELOW THE WATERLINE "On routes where wind propulsion offers limited advantage, the inherent efficiency of the vessel's core design becomes paramount. The BT50 design is itself approximately 12% more efficient than the typical tanker performance profiles in the sample fleet. Our design modifications enhance that efficiency even further," said Robin. One ground-breaking feature beneath the waterline is a unique new fin design dubbed 'blueSURF' that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis shows has significant power saving potential. "We were genuinely surprised to see such pronounced benefits in power demand, making the fins an additional powerful design modification that improves the case for WASP deployment," said Juha Hanhinen, Head of Hydrodynamics at Bluetech. Modifications above the waterline include an aero upper deck and superstructure, as well as semi-enclosed mooring stations to reduce wind disturbance. COMPARING CONFIGURATIONS The project also examined which Rotor SailsTM configuration - four smaller 24-metre devices instead of the two 35-metre devices - had the best combination of cost versus thrust. "Each configuration had slightly better performan...

Send Steve a Text MessageTired of a stubborn pinky, tangled timing, and runs that fall apart when you speed up? We walk through a compact, repeatable practice plan that fixes the real causes of sloppy playing: uneven finger strength and poor synchronization between fretting and picking.First, we break down a focused 20-second hammer-on and pull-off cycle that you can do anywhere on the neck. You'll learn how to pair index–middle, index–ring, index–pinky, then middle–ring, middle–pinky, and ring–pinky without stopping, so every weak link gets direct attention. We explain how to rotate your starting point, overload problem pairs, and keep unused strings quiet for a clean, punchy sound on both acoustic and electric.Then we shift to synchronization with the classic 1-2-3-4 exercise. The aim is quality over speed: even notes, steady time, consistent volume, and relaxed hands. We unpack alternate picking fundamentals, pick angle, and efficient string tracking so you can move across strings without noise or tension. Along the way, we highlight the two transitions that break most lines—finger changes and string changes—and show how small adjustments create big gains in clarity and control.By the end, you'll have a simple daily routine that builds strength, dexterity, and timing in minutes, not hours. If you've been stuck at the same tempo for months, this approach gives you a clear path forward: measure evenness first, then add speed gradually. Ready to hear cleaner riffs and smoother scales? Follow these steps today, subscribe for more practical guitar training, and share your one-week progress—with your toughest finger pair—in a review.
