Market jitters over A.I. valuations persist. ‘Big Short' investor Michael Burry says hyper-scalers are overstating their earnings while Japan's Softbank sees its share price plunge following the sale of its stake in Nvidia. The company has pledged to double down on its OpenAI investment. Germany's Infineon hikes the FY forecast for its A.I. data centre revenue despite Q4 earnings coming in below expectations. CFO Sven Schneider is confident the A.I. boom will continue to drive the company's success. And in UK politics, a briefing war is raging with reports and counter-reports of a Labour leadership contest to oust Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer just a fortnight before his Chancellor's high-stakes budget.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

PREVIEW. AI in the Marketplace. Elizabeth Peek examines AI in the marketplace regarding the spectacular rise of stocks and related "bubble talk."

ChatGPT and Microsoft CoPilot are leading the enterprise AI adoption race, with 67% and 58% of businesses utilizing these tools, respectively, according to a study by the Wharton Human AI Research Program. This trend highlights a significant gap between these dominant players and competitors like Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, which have much lower adoption rates. Despite the rapid integration of generative AI into corporate environments, a report from Salesforce indicates that 63% of business leaders consider their organizations data-driven, yet many express uncertainty about their data's reliability and the ability to generate actionable insights.Further complicating the landscape, a report from Ernst & Young reveals that while 75% of UK CEOs recognize the urgency of adopting generative AI, 68% admit to lacking a clear understanding of the technology. This disconnect poses risks for organizations as they navigate AI implementation, particularly in terms of data governance and the potential for costly mistakes in acquisitions and partnerships. The report emphasizes the need for IT providers to assist clients in validating vendors and ensuring responsible AI usage.In addition to enterprise AI developments, the episode discusses the shortcomings of current AI benchmarking practices, with only 16% of evaluated benchmarks employing rigorous scientific methods. This raises concerns about the reliability of claims made by AI vendors regarding their models' capabilities. The episode also highlights the cautious approach of small and medium-sized businesses towards AI in cybersecurity, with only 12% trusting AI to operate autonomously, primarily due to concerns over accuracy and data privacy.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the importance of building trust in AI technologies. As the market sees an influx of new models, such as China's KimiK2, which claims to outperform established models at a fraction of the cost, the focus should be on validating these tools and ensuring they meet organizational needs. By prioritizing data governance and compliance, MSPs can position themselves as essential partners in helping clients navigate the complexities of AI adoption and implementation. Four things to know today 00:00 AI Goes Corporate: ChatGPT and Copilot Dominate Adoption as Leaders Struggle With Data Trust and Strategy04:53 Faulty AI Tests and Failing Trust: Oxford Study and Kaseya Report Expose the Gap Between Hype and Reality07:46 From Newsrooms to Courtrooms, AI Adoption Exposes a Trust Gap — and a New Opportunity for IT Providers11:11 AI Divide Widens: China's Free Kimi K2 Model Challenges GPT-5 While Google Locks Users Into a Data-Driven Ecosystem This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://timezest.com/mspradio/

Joe Mazzola with Charles Schwab goes in-depth on the firm's October 2025 STAX report, which showed yet another tick higher. He says the report reinforced a dip-buying mentality, especially in Mag 7 and high-beta names like Nvidia (NVDA), Meta Platforms (META), and Palantir (PLTR). Among the stocks that sold the most: AMD Inc. (AMD), Tesla (TSLA), and Eli Lilly (LLY). Joe also talks about the divergence in investment strategies between Gen X and Gen Z, and how the prior demonstrated more risk-taking appetite.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: GÁLATAS 6:2-10 Plano De Leitura Anual: JEREMIAS 37–39; HEBREUS 3  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  Ibrahim chegou da África à Itália como imigrante aos 12 anos e sem saber uma palavra de italiano. Ele lutou contra a gagueira e enfrentou a rejeição aos imigrantes. Nada o impediu de abrir uma pizzaria em Trento quando era um jovem de 20 anos. Seu pequeno negócio conquistou céticos e está listado entre as melhores 50 pizzarias do mundo. Sua esperança era ajudar a alimentar as crianças famintas nas ruas italianas. Ele lançou a “pizza de caridade” expandindo a tradição de comprar um café extra para os necessitados, para a compra de uma pizza extra. Incentiva as crianças imigrantes a superarem o preconceito e a não desistirem. Essa persistência lembra as lições de Paulo sobre fazer o bem a todos. “…não nos cansemos de fazer o bem. No momento certo, teremos uma colheita de bênçãos…” (GÁLATAS 6:9). Paulo continuou: “Por isso, sempre que tivermos oportunidade, façamos o bem a todos, especialmente aos da família da fé” (v.10). Ibrahim, um imigrante que enfrentou preconceitos e barreiras linguísticas, criou uma oportunidade de fazer o bem. A comida tornou-se “uma ponte” que conduz à tolerância e à compreensão. Inspirados por tal persistência, nós também podemos buscar oportunidades para praticar o bem. Deus, então, recebe a glória enquanto Ele age por meio de nossas contínuas tentativas.  Por: PATRICIA RAYBON

Ireland's housing crisis is likely to persist for at least another 15 years, according to the Department of Finance. The grim analysis was contained in Future Forty: A Fiscal and Economic Outlook to 2065. Shane discusses these findings with Dr Emma Howard, Economist at TU Dublin.

The Department of Finance has said that our housing crisis is likely to persist for at least another 15 years. Pent up demand will not be fully eliminated until at least 2040. However, this all depends on housing supply reaching sixty thousand a year by. But is this prediction that things will be better in fifteen years even realistic?Pat discusses this further with Lorcan Sirr, Senior Lecturer in Housing, TU Dublin and also Karl Deeter, Irish Mortgage Brokers.

Krishna arrived in the U.S. from Haiti just over 2 years ago full of hope, wonder and promise. With a temporary protected status she finally felt safe and ready to take on new goals and challenges to make a life and career for herself. Leaving behind her aunt, brother, and cousin in Haiti, and her mother living in Suriname, she saw a future ahead of her full of opportunity and safety. She ached for their touch and to see them in person but thankfully technology bridged the distance and inspired her to persist while providing strength on her darkest days. In the U.S. she has created a life full of education, hard work, and friendship. Her first initiative was to learn English so she immediately registered for classes and attended adult education knowing this was as essential key to create independence. While going to classes 4 days a week, she also worked full time at a local grocery store. She was committed to her goals and deeply grateful to the many opportunities she was able to take advantage of. Adult education classes offered English, but also helped create a new community of friends along with a network of teachers and administrators who supported her along the way. She successfully graduated from that program in June 2025. She knew learning English was just the start to build her future, but simultaneously she felt called to a career in healthcare. Krishna enrolled in a Certified Nurse Aide certification course at a local community college where she engaged in lectures, labs, ESL class for medical curriculum support, and clinicals providing experience at the hospital and a local nursing home. After much hard work and study, she successfully passed the exam and is now certified. While continuing to look for a position at a nursing home, she is grateful for her work and the opportunities to improve her communication skills. With Krishna's internal motivation to succeed there is no doubt she will continue to persevere and keep moving forward wherever she may live. She is committed to her personal and professional goals and despite the challenges she remains faithful and positive about her future.

In today's service, PMTO reminds the church that we are in a kairos moment—a spiritually sensitive window where we must not be casual. Many are sensing an inner push for “more”; that pressure is not frustration, but God signaling that something must be birthed. The instruction of the Spirit is clear: push through it in prayer.She explains that God often shows the promise clearly, but the process feels unclear and slow. When it looks like delay, we are not to withdraw or get passive, we are to pray prevailing prayers like Elijah and stay on our watchpost like Habakkuk. Persistence is the demand of the season. It is not enough to be consistent; we must refuse to be moved by difficulties, emotions, or timing.PMTO also teaches that discouragement is designed to isolate and distract, but worship brings alignment and strength. We are urged to hold on to God's Word, stay connected to the community, and refuse to sleep spiritually. This is a time to stretch spiritually, to insist on the promise, and to birth what has been conceived in the spirit.Her charge is simple and strong: Stand. Pray. Persist. Push—until something shifts.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious. Led by Pst.

FOOLPROOF FAITH... in other words, how to PERSIST 'in the end', or as if it's already happened, without needing proof. AHA moments inbound, thanks to a recent (humbling) realization and my deep dives on Neville Goddard's work! Join us in the premier Dreamaway Membership for so many resources including 40+ Dreamaway-exclusive tapping sessions (90 minutes of deep-dive subconscious rewiring/EFT tapping), visualizations, 40+ tapping "Money Dates" (abundance programming), daily tapping videos, weekly energy readings, astrological updates, and so much more! https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/dreamaway Dreamaway November 2025 - CERTAINTY: SELF CONCEPT Month 90 Minute Session: I AM Certain - Self-Image Certainty | Tuesday, 11/11 7-8:30pm ET In this powerful session, we'll be moving from seeking proof to embodying the identity of our ultimate self concept. This session will convince your brain that "you are already that which you want to be," as Neville Goddard would say, in a portal designed to dissolve every trace of doubt connected to the old story about your identity. You'll be led to reunite with who you REALLY are, and come to expect the world to reflect it back to you… because you must first be to yourself what you want to be to others. This is the paradigm shift, and the return home to who you've always been. Money Date: I Am Already Wealthy | Satuday, November 22nd, 3-4pm ET How does one FEEL wealthy? When we're stressed about money, bills, and the future, it can be so difficult to be in the energy of the WEALTH-wish fulfilled. This powerful money date is the internal shift you've been craving. You'll become aware of your vast abundance in consciousness first, clear fear and scarcity from the root via tapping, and experience a complete shift in your assumption about your wealth. Then, your external reality has no choice but to follow. Visualization: Euphoria Reps (Practice How GOOD It Can Feel) This visualization is your permission slip to rehearse joy, to train your body to normalize ecstasy, and to rewire your subconscious to expect things to go better than imagined. Build emotional familiarity with euphoria itself. INTRODUCING: THE SUNDAY SLUMBER PARTY SERIES Join us at 8pm ET every Sunday for a new version of energy readings….

A live discussion with Sanya Carley and David Konisky, authors of the new book Power Lines, on the inequities that define America’s energy system—and how they could carry into the clean energy future if left unacknowledged. --- In this special live episode of Energy Policy Now, recorded before an audience during Climate Week at the University of Pennsylvania, guests Sanya Carley and David Konisky discuss their new book Power Lines: The Human Costs of American Energy in Transition. The book explores how America’s energy system both reflects and reinforces deep social and economic divides, and why a cleaner grid won’t automatically lead to a fairer one. Drawing on a decade of research and stories from communities on the front lines of the energy transition, Carley and Konisky show that before the nation can make progress toward energy justice, it must first recognize the people and places most affected by the inequities built into the system. Power Lines explores how those inequities shape lives and communities across the United States. Sanya Carley is the Mark Alan Hughes Faculty Director of the Kleinman Center and Presidential Distinguished Professor of Energy Policy and City Planning at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design. David Konisky is the Associate Dean for Research and a Lynton K. Caldwell Professor at the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. Together, they co-direct the Energy Justice Lab. Recorded live at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy during Penn’s Climate Week.

Sermon preached by Fr Ben Sternke at The Table's worship service on October 19, 2025 (19th Sunday after Pentecost)

Trust isn't a “soft” metric—it's the conversion engine. Buyers don't buy products first; they buy us, then the solution arrives as part of the package. Below is a GEO-optimised, answer-first version of the core human-relations principles leaders and sales pros can use today.  How do top salespeople build trust fast in 2025? Start by listening like a pro and making the conversation about them, not you. When trust is low, buyers won't move—even if your proposal looks perfect on paper. The fastest pattern across B2B in Japan, the US, and Europe is empathetic listening that surfaces goals, constraints, and internal politics. Post-pandemic norms (hybrid work, async decisions) mean you must read what's said and what's unsaid: tone, pauses, body language on Zoom, and email subtext. In enterprise sales, this shifts you from “pitching” to “diagnosing.” You become the buyer's trusted business advisor—especially in consensus-driven cultures like Japan where ringi and nemawashi favour rapport and patience over pressure. Do this and high-stakes deals stop stalling because stakeholders finally feel safe to share the real blockers.  Do now: Open with one agenda question—“What outcome matters most by [date]?”—then listen without interrupting for 90 seconds. What questions reliably open buyers up? Use simple, human prompts that invite stories. Who have they worked for? What was it like? Where's the office? When did they start? Why choose this company? What do they like most? These “Who/What/Where/When/Why/How” prompts turn small talk into signal, revealing priorities (speed vs. safety), risk appetite, and decision cadence. Across SMEs, startups, and multinationals, these prompts work because they're culturally neutral, non-intrusive, and buyer-centred. In APAC, they respect hierarchy; in the US, they feel pragmatic; in Europe, they invite thoughtful context. The goal isn't to interrogate—it's to let people talk about themselves while you capture needs, metrics, and names of influencers you'll later engage.  Do now: Prepare six openers on a card; ask two, go deep on one, and mirror key phrases back. How do I remember personal details without being awkward? Use the “Nameplate → House → Family → Briefcase → Airplane → Tennis Racquet → Newspaper” memory chain. Visualise a giant nameplate smashing into a bright house; inside, a baby with a briefcase pulls out an old plane; its propellers are tennis racquets threaded with rolled newspapers. Each hook cues a safe, human topic: name, home, family, work, travel, hobbies, and industry news. This light mnemonic keeps first meetings natural across cultures. In Japan, it supports relationship-first norms (meishi exchange, hometown ties). In the US/EU, it avoids prying while still finding common ground (sports, routes, recent sector headlines). Use tact and sequence flexibly; skip topics if they feel private. The point is to remember them so follow-ups feel personal, not transactional.  Do now: Before calls, jot the seven cues; after calls, log one fact per cue in your CRM. What if I don't know the buyer's interests yet? Keep asking—then mirror their language and frame benefits in their terms. Early on, many buyers withhold interests until they decide you're trustworthy. That's normal. Persist with respectful questions, then translate features into “so-whats” they already value: uptime for CTOs, cycle-time for COOs, compliance for CFOs, psychological safety for HR. As of 2025, complex deals involve multi-threading (RevOps, Legal, IT, Security). Tailor each touch: startup CTOs want velocity and unit economics; enterprise VPs want risk mitigation and stakeholder alignment; Japanese heads of division may prioritise harmony and precedent. The win is relevance—your proposal reads like their strategy memo, not your brochure.  Do now: After each meeting, write one line: “They care most about ___ because ___.” Lead with that next time. How do I make someone feel important—without manipulation? Spot real wins and praise them sincerely and specifically. Most professionals get little recognition. When you catch people doing something right—clear brief, crisp data, fast feedback—name it. Never over-flatter; buyers detect tactics instantly. The goal is dignity, not drama. Practical example: “Your timeline reduced rework across Legal and IT—that saved us both weeks.” In Japan, sincere appreciation that acknowledges team effort (not just the individual) lands better; in the US, direct credit energises champions. Across sectors (SaaS, manufacturing, services), this fosters reciprocity and deepens trust far faster than discounts ever can.  Do now: In your next email, add one honest, specific thank-you sentence linked to a business outcome. What should leaders systemise so this sticks? Bake these principles into playbooks, onboarding, and CRM hygiene. Codify the seven memory cues, the open-question matrix, and a “buyer interest” field in CRM. Coach for silence (count to three before replying). Review call snippets for interrupt rate and question balance. Reward teams for discovery quality, not just revenue. Executives at firms from startups to conglomerates can run fortnightly “deal trust reviews”: is the sponsor heard, interests mapped, and recognition given? In Japan, align with nemawashi—map stakeholders and pre-wire decisions. In the US/EU, pressure-test value hypotheses with RevOps and Finance. Consistency beats charisma.  Do now: Add three fields to your CRM today—Interests, Stakeholders, Recognition Given—and make them required. Conclusion When you listen deeply, speak in the buyer's interests, and recognise people sincerely, you stop selling and start being chosen. Make this your firm's operating system and watch cycle times shorten and referrals grow.  FAQs Isn't this just “be nice” advice? No—these behaviours reduce friction, surface risks early, and accelerate consensus, which shortens sales cycles.  Do these tips work in Japan? Yes—especially the memory chain and sincere group-focused recognition, which fit relationship-first norms.  How do I measure progress? Track interrupt rate, number of stakeholder interests captured, and instances of specific recognition logged in CRM. Next Steps Add the seven-cue mnemonic and open-question set to your onboarding. Require “Interests” and “Recognition Given” fields in every opportunity. Coach teams to wait three beats before replying on calls.

SAHRC report reveals up to 43% uptake of recommendations, but major gaps persist after 2021 July unrest by Radio Islam

Homily from the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Persist through severity. There are big moments in our lives. We usually think of the beginning or the end of something as the moments of consequence. But the middle often holds the most impactful moments of consequence; times when we are called to persevere...to "remain faithful" to the decisions we have made. Mass Readings from October 19, 2025: Exodus 17:8-13 Psalm 121:1-82 Timothy 3:14-4:2 Luke 18:1-8

“A New and Beautiful day is rising.” That's what President Trump told a gathering of world leaders this week.He was speaking of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas…meant to pave the way to a permanent end to the war that has left much of the Gaza strip in rubble. Now, Trump said, the rebuilding begins. There are huge questions about what comes after the ceasefire. Who will govern Gaza? Will Hamas disarm? When will Israeli troops fully withdraw? And before any of that, there's a more urgent challenge — getting food and medicine to the people in Gaza.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. This episode was produced by Erika Ryan and Connor Donevan, with audio engineering by Tiffany Vera Castro and David Greenburg.

Are you believing for a miracle but struggling with doubt? In this powerful message, we look at what it truly means to have a faith that honors God—a faith that believes even when it can't see, persists when nothing changes, works when it doesn't make sense, and seeks the Miracle-Worker above the miracle itself.Through stories from Mark 9, Mark 5, and powerful truths throughout Scripture, we're reminded that everything is possible for those who believe. God still moves. He still heals. He still demonstrates His awesome power.

Quick edit: At 28 min, Sammi says "The Sound of Music." She meant "Singing in the Rain." In light of the recent censorship on behalf of ABC/Disney, we decided it was a good time to talk about some important movies and other pieces related to censorship and the media. Yes, we will likely return to Bachelor Nation, but not right now! For the time being, consider this a crossover episode into a new podcast that will be launching soon - The Horrors Persist. For our first episode, we cover A Face in the Crowd, a 1957 movie starring Andy Griffith. Steve describes it is as movie that covers the first influencer. Sammi describes it by saying it's like what Being There would be like if the main character was a dick. Either way, we hope you enjoy it! You can watch this movie on Tubi if you're looking for a place to stream it, at least as of the time of this publishing. Some other things we cover: The Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch Food for Nought, a book by Ross Hume Hall In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson Welcome to Me Citizen Kane Network Ace in the Hole If you want to keep up with more horror and horror-adjacent work (this one is definitely adjacent, but horror-like based on the state of things), make sure you check out theorrors.co. There will be much more on there soon!

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with wild headlines before turning to the week's heavier stories. They react to leaked messages from Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones, which reignite debate over party loyalty and political violence, then break down new reports surrounding the Biden administration, including declassified CIA records tied to Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine, FBI data collection on Republican senators, and growing pressure on Big Tech to police speech. The conversation expands into censorship, corruption, and how government agencies and media platforms overlap in ways that shape what Americans see. The group examines how outrage cycles are engineered, why humor still works as resistance, and how cultural fatigue has pushed audiences toward skepticism and satire. After a long dive into politics and media manipulation, the crew winds down with movie talk, sketch ideas, and the Half-Assed Top 10, ranking the most absurd moments in country music headlines, from Zach Bryan's backlash to the ongoing collision of art and activism. Today's guest on "Normal World" is Gerard Michaels.

Jenny: Inclusive capital advocacy.The future of regulated investment crowdfunding is being shaped not just by markets but by the voices that advocate for fair, effective policies in Washington. Jenny Kassan, President of the Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA), has emerged as a leading champion of this work. The association's upcoming summit and the advocacy efforts that precede it illustrate the growing momentum behind this movement.Jenny explained, “The Crowdfunding Professional Association represents the crowdfunding industry, the regulated investment crowdfunding industry. This is everyone who's involved in trying to make it easier for small businesses, entrepreneurs, changemakers, artists, everyone who has the ability to offer an investment opportunity to be able to offer it to everybody, everybody in the country.”The October summit in Washington, D.C., highlights the growing traction of this movement. Jenny shared that this year, the CfPA is securing more meetings with members of Congress and the Senate who influence financial market rules. That progress signals a growing recognition of the industry's role in democratizing access to capital.Speakers at the summit will include SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her balanced approach to fostering innovation while maintaining sensible regulation, and James Murphy from FINRA, the body overseeing day-to-day regulation of crowdfunding platforms. These perspectives, alongside industry leaders like Mark Elenowitz, will help issuers, investors, and platforms better navigate the complex regulatory landscape.Jenny was candid about the rapid changes unfolding in this space, especially around emerging technologies like crypto. “The industry is really evolving quickly. Even though there haven't been any law changes yet, there's been a huge, huge evolution and rapid change in the space,” she noted. Panels on crypto and digital assets will explore how innovation intersects with regulation, underscoring the importance of ongoing dialogue with policymakers.The CfPA summit is more than a conference. It is the culmination of months of advocacy, uniting stakeholders to strengthen the rules that govern investment crowdfunding. By convening entrepreneurs, investors, regulators, and industry professionals, the event will serve as a platform to share knowledge, influence policy, and build momentum for greater capital access.Jenny's leadership highlights that regulated investment crowdfunding is still young but brimming with potential. Her efforts—and those of the CfPA—help ensure the system grows into a tool that works for everyone.tl;dr:Jenny Kassan explained how the Crowdfunding Professional Association advocates in Washington to strengthen rules for regulated investment crowdfunding.She shared details about the upcoming summit, including meetings with legislators, regulators, and key industry experts.Jenny emphasized the importance of balanced regulation, highlighting insights from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and FINRA's James Murphy.She described how crowdfunding empowers underrepresented entrepreneurs, often outperforming traditional fundraising sources like venture capital and banks.Jenny encouraged participation in the CfPA and its summit, reminding listeners that inclusive access to capital benefits everyone.How to Develop Inclusive Capital Advocacy As a SuperpowerJenny described her superpower as her ability to advocate for inclusive access to capital. She explained that her passion lies in helping entrepreneurs—especially those underrepresented in traditional finance—gain the resources they need to thrive. As she put it, “We see like women, people of color, people that don't come from the top schools or from wealthy families often are quite successful with regulation crowdfunding, sometimes even more so. That's the reason I love the tool so much.”Her superpower is evident in her consistent championing of entrepreneurs who face barriers to traditional funding. By focusing on regulated investment crowdfunding, she empowers founders to bypass gatekeepers and reach communities of investors who share their vision.One story illustrates this clearly: Jenny highlighted data showing that diverse and under-resourced founders often raise more successfully through crowdfunding than through venture capital, angel groups, or banks. That success proves that crowdfunding levels the playing field. For Jenny, seeing women and people of color outperform traditional fundraising norms affirms the power of her mission.Jenny offered valuable insights for developing this superpower:Recognize who is excluded by traditional systems and design new ways to include them.Focus on building tools and structures that make participation easier for everyone.Ground advocacy in data that demonstrates success outside the status quo.Persist in championing change even when mainstream systems resist.By following Jenny's example and advice, you can make inclusive capital advocacy a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
