Can medication truly transform the landscape of pediatric mental health, or are we oversimplifying the complexities of growing minds? In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino welcomes Dr. Jess Pierce, a hospital-based child psychiatrist whose expertise bridges the worlds of pediatrics and mental health, especially for children in rural areas. Unraveling the fascinating history of psychopharmacology and delving into the mechanisms of action for the antidepressants, this episode offers a roadmap for pediatricians navigating the maze of SSRIs, SNRIs, risks like serotonin syndrome, and difficult conversations about side effects. The nuances matter and Dr. Pierce guides us skillfully.Discover why family history, patient buy-in, and transparent communications are pivotal to successful treatment—and why prescribing for young people demands a delicate blend of science, art, and empathy. This conversation will change the way you see—and approach—medication and the treatment of kids' mental health.[00:08:51] Exploring Pediatric Psychopharmacology's RootsTracing the unexpected origins of antidepressants, including how tuberculosis and hypertension treatments led to modern psychopharmacologyThe monoamine hypothesis: understanding the neurotransmitter focus in early depression treatmentsThe move beyond serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine: new research on neurobiology, neurogenesis, and stress responseProzac's arrival and its impact in reshaping the treatment landscape for pediatric mental health[08:52- 18:06 ] SSRIs in Practice: Similarities, Differences, and SelectionAll SSRIs share rapid absorption, high protein binding, and similar side effect profiles—but key differences can matterImportant reasons to avoid Paxil and to use Lexapro over Celexa, particularly due to side effect burdensNuanced considerations: matching specific SSRIs to individual patient needs, such as Prozac's activating profile for low-energy depressionPractical dosing strategies: the art of balancing “start low and go slow” with the urgency to help suffering children[18:07- 27:59] Navigating Risks, Side Effects, and Patient MonitoringThe truth behind the Black Box Warning: clarifying risks of suicidal ideation vs. the dangers of untreated depressionWhy regular, open conversations with families about medication side effects—especially sexual side effects in teens—build trust and adherenceRecognizing and managing serotonin syndrome: how to spot symptoms and when emergency intervention is neededIdentifying high-risk drug interactions, including situations with migraine or neurology medications[28:00-45:19 ] From SNRIs to the Five-Step Prescribing Approach and BeyondHow SNRIs differ from SSRIs in action, side effects, and indication—especially in pain syndromes or where activating effects are desiredThe use of Wellbutrin as an alternative with fewer sexual side effects, and cautions for seizure-prone populationsStrategic guidelines: the five-step approach to medication choice, considering patient history, family response, symptoms, buy-in, and comorbiditiesCritical cautions with genetic testing and the limitations of using these results to guide first-line medication choices[45:20-1:00:00] Dr Lia's TakeAwaysResources Mentioned:Dr. Pierce's PPT on Pediatric Psychopharmacology Hello!

He advocates for a future where technology, including AI, empowers employees, and humans thrive alongside machines.[01:22] Industrial Revolution 5.0: A New EraSuriel discusses the concept of Industrial Revolution 5.0, where humans coexist with AI, robots, and other technologies. He envisions a world where machines enhance human capabilities rather than replace them, leading to a future where work is more efficient, creative, and innovative.[02:46] AI and Leadership: Empowering HumansSuriel underscores the need for leadership to integrate AI in a way that empowers people rather than displaces them. Drawing from his own experience, he emphasizes the importance of ethical, non-biased implementation of technology, where leaders play a key role in ensuring AI serves humanity by augmenting skills and creativity. He states, "Tech needs to empower humanity, not replace it," highlighting that technology should enhance the human experience, not diminish it.[04:17] Ethical AI and Leadership ResponsibilitySuriel explores the leadership responsibility to ensure AI is used ethically in organizations. He highlights the risk of AI perpetuating biases if not carefully implemented. Leaders must focus on creating a moral framework for technology adoption, ensuring that employees are empowered rather than sidelined by the rise of automation.[05:47] Practical Steps for Leaders: The PPT FrameworkSuriel recommends a practical approach for leaders to consider: the PPT framework (People, Process, Technology). He suggests that organizations start by assessing their people—understanding their skill gaps and readiness for technological change—before diving into process re-engineering or choosing technology. This ensures that employees feel valued and part of the transformation process.[10:37] Preparing for the Future with Suriel ArellanoSuriel invites leaders to connect with him through his website, surielarellano.com, where they can learn more about his books and consulting services through Tech 4 Digital. He offers guidance on navigating digital transformations, stressing the importance of keeping people at the heart of the change to foster success in a technology-driven future.

Hva er altruisme og hvor har den blitt av?I denne episoden går vi i dybden på altruisme (vår evne til å føle og handle for andre, både nære og fjerne). Ikke minst hvordan altruismens posisjon har endret seg i våre liv. Du får møte psykologen Sivert Straume som har brent for temaet siden han undersøkte dens posisjon i vårt samfunn som en del av sin masteroppgave. Han forklarer de ulike lagene av altruisme og hvordan det både fungerer som motivasjon og kompass for verdiene våre. Han løfter frem koblingen mellom altruistisk apati og samfunnsutviklingen mot mer selvaktualisering.Sammen med Jimmy ser de på hvordan altruismen møter vårt privilegium som innbyggere av et av verdens rikeste land, men også hvordan den nære altruismen er en av nøklene til å snu samfunnstrendene på psykisk uhelse.Sivert Straume er grunnlegger og daglig leder av Bypsykologene i Bergen. Han er utdannet psykolog ved UiB og har videreutdanning i kognitiv- og metakognitiv terapi. Han har erfaring fra det private hos Aleris medisinsk senter, spesialisthelsetjenesten for tverrfaglig spesialisert rusbehandling ved Bergensklinikkene, pedagogisk psykologisk tjeneste (PPT), helsesstasjon og klinisk søvnforskning. I 2013 startet Sivert Bypsykologene der visjonen er å gi rask og god hjelp til klientene sine samtidig som de skal bidra til en bedre verden utenom kjernevirksomheten.God lytting!Vi trenger din hjelp for å fortsette å lage Hverdagspsyken!

Gjesdal kommune har renovert et gammelt bankbygg og gjort det om til helsehus. De har også laget egne løsninger for ombruk av inventar og materialer. Gjesdal kommune har nylig renovert et gammelt bankbygg til det som nå kalles Familiens Hus. Dette bygget samler barnevern, helsestasjon, familiesenter og PPT.  Prosjektet ble startet for å unngå riving og nybygging, og i stedet gjenbruke eksisterende strukturer og materialer. - Utfordrende, men fornuftig Vi møter prosjektleder Therese Noraberg og byggforvalter Jarle Ims. De er enige om at de har fått til veldig mye av det de opprinnelig ønsket, men at det har vært utfordrende arbeid. Det skal godt forarbeid til før man renoverer med tanke på ombruk og nye funksjoner, og det kan være mer krevende å følge opp et renovert bygg enn et bygg der alt er nytt. Det er likevel fornuftig å gjenbruke når det er mulig, sier de to representantene fra kommunen. Mellomlagring og "intern Finn.no" For å kunne ombruke materialer og inventar, har kommunen etablert to mellomlagre i bygg med ledig kapasitet. De lager også en app-løsning for å holde oversikt over materialene, et slags Finn.no for inventar og byggevarer som alle ansatte i kommunen kan bruke. Hjelp til lokalt klimaarbeid Miljødirektoratet har mange ressurser for deg som jobber med lokalt klimaarbeid, blant annet: Veiledning og ressurser Her finner du veiledning i klimatilpasning, klima- og energiplanlegging og hvordan kommunen kan kutte utslipp i ulike sektorer, søke støtte til lokalt klimaarbeid, lese søknader og rapporter fra Klimasats- og klimatilpasningsprosjekter, og mye mer. https://www.miljodirektoratet.no/ansvarsomrader/klima/  Webinarer om lokalt klimaarbeid Webinarer er gratis seminarer via nett.

This month we're discussing notes and other techniques for when a PPT deck doesn't seem the most appropriate or right fit. Repeat after me, PPT is not the enemy, but there are other options for you to use like an organized note template, a whiteboard, a flipchart, or some form of brainstorming technique. If you're not going with a PPT, you have to decide 3 things: What are you going with? Choose your medium. What do I need to share? Create a plan before the meeting itself. Who am I speaking to and how long do I have? Know your audience and timing. From there, our biggest suggestion is to avoid scripting. You don't want to get stuck dropping your head and reading from your notes. This episode will provide some suggestions for how to organize effectively for this type of setting.

Continuo a parlare di attenzione dopo la newsletter della settimana scorsa sul Fantasanremo. L'attenzione chi non ce l'ha se la compra o, come TIM, prova a crearsela da solo, in modo da ottenere vari obiettivi. Quali? Non l'ho mai capito: provo a decodificarli in questa puntata.Grazie a Hoepli – editore specializzato in tecnologia e marketing – per il supporto particolare a questa edizione. C'entra Seth Godin, e ho detto tutto.Sei tra le circa 25.000 persone iscritte tra qui, LinkedIn, Telegram e WhatsApp: grazie, spero che le 3,8 ore per scriverla ti siano state utili. A proposito, che ne dici di presentare il tuo brand nella newsletter come ha fatto oggi Hoepli? Dai un'occhiata per sponsorizzare nel 2025. Il quiz della settimana[in collaborazione con Hoepli]Il vangelo secondo Seth80. MARKETING STRATEGICOIl marketing è l'arte di costruire un prodotto o un servizio che racconti una storia. Una storia vera, che è familiare e cambia le persone che la vivono. Il primo compito del marketer è trovare un problema e risolverlo, aiutando un cliente ad arrivare dove sta andando.E il secondo, […] è fornire a quella persona una storia da raccontare agli altri. Coinvolgere la rete della comunità. Aiutare quella persona a migliorare il proprio status e la propria affiliazione perché si sta impegnando con gli altri utilizzando la storia che voi l'avete aiutata a creare.Se vediamo il mondo come una rete e il nostro lavoro come un aiuto alle persone che ne fanno parte per connettersi e crescere, la strategia diventa molto più chiara.Seth Godin, Questa è strategia – HoepliDi Seth Godin si può avere qualunque opinione. Sono tutte accettabili per qualche verso. Puoi criticare l'applicabilità di certe ispirazioni, la base statistica per le sue affermazioni, il fatto che ci lascia sempre un po' appesi nelle sue meditazioni che sembrano un corano più che una bibbia. Ma questo è anche il suo bello. Di quei guru che si fermano un attimo prima di quella linea rossa che non saprei definire, che divide chi ne sa e chi non ne sa.I suoi libri sono breviari, da aprire a caso, leggere e pensare per un minuto. Poi ributtarsi in quel report PPT da presentare entro lunedì. Secondo me, preso così, questo è un libro interessante. Del libro ne parlo con Giuseppe Stigliano in un free webinar il 4 marzo alle 16:00. Ci si registra qui. Se intanto vi volete portare avanti e volete leggere il libro, il link è nel bottone. Il mistero di TIM PartyPer un po' si è parlato molto di super-app. Ricordate come Musk cominciò a teorizzare di trasformare Twitter in X, proprio come simbolo di app per qualsiasi cosa? Il suo piano era abbastanza delirante, e non andò da nessuna parte. Non convinse nessuno, e da lì in poi anzi capitò proprio il contrario. Anche Musk avrebbe poi avuto ben altre idee per la testa, e chissà, se gli fosse riuscita quella la storia avrebbe preso una strada diversa.Il destino di diventare una super-app potrebbe riuscire in Occidente solo a WhatsApp, per la sua pervasività e diffusione. Ma non accadrà, un po' perché Meta ha altri piani, un po' perché i messaggini sono argomenti critici per il GDPR e meglio non destar i garanti che dormono.Ci sono però altri brand, direi tre, che hanno velleità imperiali, almeno in Italia. Io sono in pratica cliente di tutti e tre. Due di questi partono dalla mobilità, il terzo, ed è il mio preferito, lo ammetto, è nelle telecomunicazioni. Mi tengo Telepass ed Enilive (di recente rinominata) per un'altra occasione.Tim Party (d'ora in poi TP) è qualcosa di intrigante, almeno per me, perché sono anni che cerco di darle un senso, trovandolo a volte, ma più spesso rimanendo sul grande dubbio: lo fanno perché devono farlo, cioè perché magari un megadirettore è innamorato della sua idea o perché è una tradizione che non si riesce più a estirpare? Lo fanno perché c'è qualche Ritorno sull'Investimento che mi sfugge?Se non riesco ad attivare il mio sesto senso “follow the money”, io impazzisco. Dove the money, e questo è il trucco, significa non solo soldi in senso stretto, ma anche vantaggi in termini di fama, notorietà, rassicurazione, egocentrismo, scambio in natura, obiettivi personali nascosti o qualsiasi altra causa junghiana delle singole persone che sono coinvolte in un'attività. E naturalmente dati (anche se il loro valore è molto sopravvalutato). Anche dopo aver scorso la lista TP rimane un mistero.Per chi non la conosce ecco la teoria:Il programma fedeltà TP, attivo dal 2018, rappresenta un pilastro strategico nella politica di customer retention di Telecom Italia, con un'architettura digitale che combina gamification, personalizzazione e dinamiche di fidelizzazione multilivello. L'analisi rivela un ecosistema progettato per incrementare l'engagement attraverso un mix di utility dirette (bonus dati/minuti) e vantaggi indiretti (sconti su terze parti), sostenuto da un modello a cluster che premia l'anzianità di servizio e la multicanalità dei contratti.Dunque è un programma fedeltà. L'impatto sulla conservazione dei clienti esistenti, di fronte a un tale dispiegamento di forze, è secondo me discutibile. Ogni tanto mi regalano qualche mega di traffico, senza sapere che mi hanno già regalato quelli INFINITI, e altra chincaglieria da anni zero (gli SMS) – normalmente oggi tutti i piani hanno più traffico di quanto potresti usarne.E quando si tratta di cambiare operatore, oramai si fa sul prezzo e/o sull'assistenza che (non) hai ricevuto. Nessun programma fedeltà funziona con le commodity, ma sono disposto a essere smentito.In TP ci sono le promozioni su cose che di solito non desideri comprare, o comunque non in quel momento – è la maledizione del co-marketing. Però in effetti a qualche brand manager di gioielli o TV LCD potrebbe fare piacere comparire di fronte al pubblico di TP, chissà, o raggranellare due vendite extra in chiusura di trimestre. TP potrebbe vendere visibilità, anche se probabilmente se fosse solo per questo il bilancio tra costo di acquisizione attenzione e vendita di attenzione (ne ho parlato la settimana scorsa per il FantaSanremo) sarebbe in rosso. Potrebbe ricavare qualcosa anche dall'affiliazione verso i partner (es: Whirlpool o Svinando) ma il risultato è tutto da vedere. “Le partnership B2B2C abilitano la revenue sharing su acquisti scontati”. Si parla di un 5-7% per ogni lavatrice venduta.Un altro motivo potrebbe essere il dato personale: TIM traccia già senza TP l'uso che facciamo del telefono (a livello di consumo banda, chiamate ed SMS) e quindi ci può offrire un servizio più adatto ai nostri bisogni e alla sua convenienza. Per esempio, sapeva probabilmente che io avrei abboccato subito al supplemento 5G, se in offerta. E infatti così è andata. Ma per fare questo upsell basta un buon sistema di marketing automation, cioè una mail, non serve farmi ritornare in TP per poi mostrarmi l'offerta, è inefficiente. E invece quali dati nuovi (e con quale utilità) TIM ricavi dalla mia navigazione in TP mi sfugge.Quindi rimane la parte di giochi a premi, che è la più assurda (per i miei gusti personali, e quindi interessante). Il termine tecnico è “meccaniche gamificate con premi a estrazione istantanea”.Gli obiettivi, se fosse una slide:* Daily Active Users boost tramite eventi domenicali* Habit formation mediante reward calendar* Virality attraverso social sharing dei premiIn pratica, devi risolvere giochini che anche un gatto colpendo lo schermo a caso potrebbe farcela. In un minuto devi trovare una parola nascosta, un frutto fuori posto, risolvere un mini-puzzle, di solito in sessanta secondi, quando ne bastano mediamente quindici (e io non sono nemmeno un granché in queste cose). Li chiamano Skill-based mechanics e mini-game interattivi.Ogni domenica vado su TP, e siccome ho vari contratti e vari anni di anzianità, rimango per dieci minuti a tentare per quelle cinque o sei volte, senza farmi vedere da nessuno che mi vergogno. Il loro problema è che la facilità nel risolverli è direttamente proporzionale all'impossibilità di vincerne i premi. Non ho mai – dico mai – vinto nulla.Del resto, so benissimo che il montepremi è UNO smartphone Huawei e vincere è impossibile. Ma oggi se c'è una cosa che ci caratterizza tutti è la visione distorta della probabilità di vincere qualcosa (anche lo scroll social è una lotteria, in effetti) contrapposta alla quantità e al valore della nostra attenzione.Basta questa mia relazione clandestina settimanale con TIM per giustificare tutto questo zibaldone? Only TIM knows. Di certo, quando ci penso razionalmente, mi pare di essere abbastanza scemo. Chissà quanti sono come me ogni settimana.C'è poi l'obiettivo di upsell, certo: per un operatore è oggi fondamentale la fidelizzazione multicanale – cellulare e fibra di casa assieme, perché poi diventa un labirinto inestricabile andarsene. Un manager del CRM scriverebbe per giustificare che “La struttura a cluster crea escalation paths che premiano la tenure con benefit incrementali, incentivano la convergenza fisso-mobile, mitigano il churn tramite lock-in emozionale”. Ma, di nuovo, non basta una buona marketing automation?TP potrebbe costare (una stima) circa due milioni all'anno, forse più. Una nocciolina per TIM, in effetti. I premi sono pagati al 50% dai partner: un concorso TP è anche (soprattutto?) pubblicità.Poi c'è dentro l'eterna mania delle telco di fare cross-selling di altri servizi (TIMVision, TIMFinance). Mi riservo il diritto di non dire nulla su questo.“TP incarna un modello di digital loyalty 3.0 dove la gamification si fonde con precision marketing, creando un circolo virtuoso tra engagement e profitability. L'architettura a cluster moltiplica gli incentivi alla convergenza fisso-mobile, elemento cruciale nella strategia quad-play di TIM. I dati suggeriscono un impatto misurabile sulla riduzione del churn (-18% vs non iscritti) e sull'incremento ARPU (+€2.1/mese).”Tradotto: abbiamo messo su un sistemone complesso che cerca di tamponare il fatto che ogni compagnia fa le stesse cose con gli stessi costi con la stessa qualità percepita. Si dice che chi è iscritto al sistemone se ne va di meno, ma non sappiamo se è una causa o un effetto. Guadagnamo dal sistemone circa due euro in più a utente iscritto.Io però mi chiedo ancora: TP, perché esisti, in realtà?

Marketing may involve running campaigns, tracking pricing, or creating brands, but let's face it—marketers spend a lot of time building decks. From pitching ideas and asking for funding to reporting results or outlining strategies, we rely on presentations to drive action. Yet, no idea gains traction if it isn't understood. That's why communication and presentation skills are essential. In this episode, Nancy Duarte shares her insights on crafting persuasive presentations and mastering effective communication.

She is known in the industry as “The Coaches' Coach”, mentoring leaders - from the boardroom to the locker room. Betsy has committed her life to helping leaders learn essential communication skills to help them better connect with the people they serve. As a communications expert and a generous teacher, she deeply understands the sociology of sports teams, and the importance of creating an optimal sports environment. More than anything, Betsy is committed to the lifelong practice of learning. If you are a coach, a leader, a parent, or around humans in general, you can learn something from Betsy. In our episode today, we chat about one of the most relevant topics in today's sports landscape: Coaching Gen Z! We cover: How to get athletes to buy-in and co-create their sports environment The challenges Gen Z faces that older generations did not. Modern coaching challenges that are causing coaches to leave their careers Simple tips to communicate with Gen Z, without sacrificing “old school values”. How psychological safety on a team impacts performance. Why strong-arming Gen Z athletes won't work, and what to do instead This episode gives coaches a new perspective and actionable tips to help them connect with their team in a way that makes the coach-athlete relationship and the team stronger. Follow Betsy: Instagram: betsy_thecoachescoach Facebook: www.facebook.com/betsbutter Website: www.betsybutterick.com Here's a glance at this episode: [1:42] Betsy talks about how catching up on reading led her to one of her newest favorite resources, “The Art of Disagreement”. She then defines ”Gen Z”. [2:50] Betsy asks coaches to finish the sentence, “Kids these days are… “ and explains what that helps her discover about a team. Lindsey and Betsy discuss the few defining challenges that Gen Z has that older generations didn't have. [6:33] How can I get Gen Z to listen to me? Why do they seem to care so much about what other people think of them? Betsy shares her perspective and explains the extreme way in which Gen Z internalizes failure. Rather than - “I failed”, it's - “I am a failure”. [9:46] Betsy shares an example of one big mistake she sees many coaches making when it comes to giving feedback to Gen Z athletes. Lindsey and Betsy discuss why many lifelong coaches are now leaving their careers because what they're doing is no longer working with this generation. [14:54] “It's not that old school values are irrelevant, I would argue they're more needed than ever. Our ability to connect with athletes today is paramount to our ability to transform them.” [16:56] Lindsey asks Betsy for a few actionable tips to give coaches who work with Gen Z. Betsy chats about the importance of co-creation and defines what that looks like. [21:00] Lindsey draws a parallel between the best practices for coaching Gen Z and the way she approaches parenting. [22:50] Betsy tells a story about working with a coach who had a sign saying “Because I Said So” mounted to the wall. [26:46] Betsy outlines the huge risk to coaches who want to strongarm their way into coaching athletes their way. The two discuss the importance of “psychological safety” in sports. [28:28] How has the attention span of Gen Z shifted, and what can we do as educators to meet them where they're at? Lindsey talks about the importance of practicing what you preach. [32:56] Betsy peels back the curtain to share the highlights and structure of her Gen Z workshops. [35:28] Betsy talks about her new workshop, “Updates from the Field, Coaching Gen Z in an Optimal Sport Experience” - based on the last 5 years of conversations she had with Gen Z athletes, and why it has become the most requested keynote.

Dr. Ajay Kothari returned as our guest. We started out with my asking Ajay about the lasted FAA-SpaceX tension and the fact that it seemed like one part of the government, NASA, was in opposition to other parts of the government, FAA, re SpaceX and Musk. This was possibly contributing delays for Artemis. I asked Ajay what he knew about all of this given his presence next to the Beltway and his connections. Don't miss how Ajay responded to this question. Next, we turned our attention to his repurposing nuclear propulsion for power on the Moon, in cislunar and for going to Mars project. He talked about using thorium and then U233. He explained the project which was also depicted in his PPT on our blog. He fielded many email questions plus he talked with several callers. What do you think of his plan & project. Let us know with your blog comments.

We spent the last two episodes honing our Executive Presence skills. In this episode, we're focusing on the actual visual presentation. In our opinion, there are 3 steps you can implement to be successful: Plan: Before you open up PPT, figure out who you're speaking to, what they need to know, what you're hoping to accomplish with them, and storyboard those details out. Build: Create your presentation in PPT (or something similar). Use a template that's been successful before to avoid creating more work for yourself. Consider colors, design, animation, data, graphics, text size, etc. Make it easy for you and your audience to see and consume the slide. Practice: Put your deck in slide show mode and actually go through it. Say it out loud. Make sure your design elements complement the story you need to share. Make sure everything shows up in the order you want. A dry run is always a good idea. The keys to success aren't hard. But we can't skip or leave out steps when we want to perform well.

In today's episode, I'm going to perhaps work myself out of some consulting engagements, but hey, that's ok! True consulting is about service—not PPT decks with strategies and tiers of people attached to rate cards. Specifically today, I decided to reframe a topic and approach it from the opposite/negative side. So, instead of telling you when the right time is to get UX design help for your enterprise SAAS analytics or AI product(s), today I'm going to tell you when you should NOT get help!    Reframing this was really fun and made me think a lot as I recorded the episode. Some of these reasons aren't necessarily representative of what I believe, but rather what I've heard from clients and prospects over 25 years—what they believe. For each of these, I'm also giving a counterargument, so hopefully, you get both sides of the coin.    Finally, analytical thinkers, especially data product managers it seems, often want to quantify all forms of value they produce in hard monetary units—and so in this episode, I'm also going to talk about other forms of value that products can create that are worth paying for—and how mushy things like “feelings” might just come into play ;-)  Ready?     Highlights/ Skip to: (1:52) Going for short, easy wins (4:29) When you think you have good design sense/taste  (7:09) The impending changes coming with GenAI (11:27) Concerns about "dumbing down" or oversimplifying technical analytics solutions that need to be powerful and flexible (15:36) Agile and process FTW? (18:59) UX design for and with platform products (21:14) The risk of involving designers who don't understand data, analytics, AI, or your complex domain considerations  (30:09) Designing after the ML models have been trained—and it's too late to go back  (34:59) Not tapping professional design help when your user base is small , and you have routine access and exposure to them   (40:01) Explaining the value of UX design investments to your stakeholders when you don't 100% control the budget or decisions    Quotes from Today's Episode “It is true that most impactful design often creates more product and engineering work because humans are messy. While there sometimes are these magic, small GUI-type changes that have big impact downstream, the big picture value of UX can be lost if you're simply assigning low-level GUI improvement tasks and hoping to see a big product win. It always comes back to the game you're playing inside your team: are you working to produce UX and business outcomes or shipping outputs on time? ” (3:18) “If you're building something that needs to generate revenue, there has to be a sense of trust and belief in the solution. We've all seen the challenges of this with LLMs. [when] you're unable to get it to respond in a way that makes you feel confident that it understood the query to begin with. And then you start to have all these questions about, ‘Is the answer not in there,' or ‘Am I not prompting it correctly?' If you think that most of this is just an technical data science problem, then don't bother to invest in UX design work… ” (9:52) “Design is about, at a minimum, making it useful and usable, if not delightful. In order to do that, we need to understand the people that are going to use it. What would an improvement to this person's life look like? Simplifying and dumbing things down is not always the answer. There are tools and solutions that need to be complex, flexible, and/or provide a lot of power – especially in an enterprise context. Working with a designer who solely insists on simplifying everything at all costs regardless of your stated business outcome goals is a red flag—and a reason not to invest in UX design—at least with them!“ (12:28)“I think what an analytics product manager [or] an AI product manager needs to accept is there are other ways to measure the value of UX design's contribution to your product and to your organization. Let's say that you have a mission-critical internal data product, it's used by the most senior executives in the organization, and you and your team made their day, or their month, or their quarter. You saved their job. You made them feel like a hero. What is the value  of giving them that experience and making them feel like those things… What is that worth when a key customer or colleague feels like you have their back with this solution you created? Ideas that spread, win, and if these people are spreading your idea, your product, or your solution… there's a lot of value in that.” (43:33) “Let's think about value in non-financial terms. Terms like feelings. We buy insurance all the time. We're spending money on something that most likely will have zero economic value this year because we're actually trying not to have to file claims. Yet this industry does very well because the feeling of security matters. That feeling is worth something to a lot of people. The value of feeling secure is something greater than whatever the cost of the insurance plan. If your solution can build feelings of confidence and security, what is that worth? Does “hard to measure precisely” necessarily mean “low value?”  (47:26)

I Tønsberg kommune innføres nå et prøveprosjekt på fire skoler der førsteklassingene skal få leke mye mer. Bakgrunnen er den økte bekymringen for at lek har fått stadig mindre plass i skolehverdagen til de yngste elevene. Men hvorfor er lek så viktig, og hvordan kan vi gi den større plass i skolen? Vi snakker med psykologspesialist Tina Nordbotten Olsen ved PPT i Tønsberg om betydningen av lek, forskjellen på frilek og lekbasert læring, og hvordan prosjektet er lagt opp for å sikre en leken og trygg skolestart. .

Dr. Joanne BallardJoanne has a PhD in Geography from the University of Tennessee with specializations in Biogeography and Quaternary Environments, advised by Dr Sally Horn, palynologist.  She has a M.S. in Geology from the University of Cincinnati, studying under glaciologist Dr. Thomas Lowell.  She has also worked as an Archaeologist for the Tennessee Valley Authority as a Database Analyst and Mapping expert.  In addition, Joanne worked for the US Census Bureau as an Analyst and Cartographic Technician, giving technical support, troubleshooting, and training personnel on addressing projects.  Currently, Joanne is serving as a Naturalist at a local museum, and working with Czech colleagues on YDB research led by Dr. Evzen Stuchlik at the Czech Academy of the Sciences.  Joanne is a catastrophist, and collaborates with the Comet Research Group.Joanne has been intrigued with the causation for the megafauna extinction since the 1990s.  She met Rick Firestone at the Mammoth Conference in 2005 at Hot Springs, SD.  When he and others presented their hypothesis on a bolide strike as causation for the Younger Dryas onset (Firestone et al. 2007), she wanted to look for evidence. Lake mud contains various proxies that help us gain insights into past environments, such as charcoal (wildfires), pollen and macrofossils (vegetation), diatoms, chironomids (climate) and chemistry--isotopes and elements. Lake mud is considered less disturbed (such as by roots, earthworms, freeze/thaw) than terrestrial sediment or soil.  At UC, she and her team drilled through the ice to collect cores from four lakes near Flint, Michigan, two of which (Slack and Swift Lakes) are adjacent to the Gainey archaeological site mentioned by Firestone et al. (2007).  At UT, she studied lake sediments from sites in the southeastern USA.   She discovered a new proxy for wildfires--possibly catastrophic wildfires--which are siliceous aggregates. These form in wood ash.  After a tree burns to ash, the silica phytoliths that were part of the structure of the tree are deposited with the wood ash. When that highly alkaline ash gets wet, it causes the phytoliths to dissolve, and the silica gel percolates down through the ash and then hardens up around silt or other particles in the sediment.  Five of six lakes sampled across eastern North America showed siliceous aggregates around the time of the onset of the Younger Dryas, suggesting widespread, catastrophic wildfires.  However, more work needs to be done to support this interpretation.Joanne has also researched Usselo Horizon sites (typically YDB-age black mats) in The Netherlands and Belgium to understand the events that triggered the onset of the Younger Dryas (12,900 - 11,600 BP).  At four Usselo horizon sites across the NL and BE, she found fused quartz, soot, charcoal, melt glass and sponge spicules.See her PPT presentation "Usselo Horizon Presentation" here:https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joanne-Ballard/researchDid humans tame woolly mammoths?  See the discussion here with 821 postshttps://www.researchgate.net/topicshttps://www.researchgate.net/post/Did-humans-tame-woolly-mammoths-or-other-megafaunaJoanne's dissertation can be accessed and downloaded for free here:https://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_graddiss/3492/Evidence of Late Quaternary Fires from Charcoal and Siliceous Aggregates in Lake Sediments in the Eastern U.S.A.Her MS thesis can be accessed for free here: https://etd.ohiolink.edu/acprod/odb_etd/etd/r/1501/10?clear=10&p10_accession_num=ucin1250268463A Lateglacial Paleofire Record for East-central MichiganRick Firestone's paper:https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0706977104    Evidence for an extraterrestrial impact 12,900 years ago that contributed to the megafaunal extinctions and the Younger Dryas cooling-- Sent with Tuta; enjoy secure & ad-free emails: https://tuta.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Now it's trying to cut rates in an election year. The Federal Reserve is loath to get involved in elections or politics. But 2024 is already shaping up to be quite the collision course. At Wednesday's hearing, Powell will tell lawmakers the next move isn't yet decided. “If the economy evolves broadly as expected, it will likely be appropriate to begin dialing back policy restraint at some point this year," Powell will say, according to prepared remarks. “But the economic outlook is uncertain, and ongoing progress toward our 2 percent inflation objective is not assured.” But rate cuts — which aren't expected to start until sometime this summer — could read differently on the campaign trail. The Biden administration, for one, is playing up strong growth, a booming job market and easing inflation. Yet the president's polling on the economy — especially on inflation — is weak, and his campaign would probably benefit from rate cuts that ease steep prices for mortgages, car insurance and business investment. (White House officials are diligent about not commenting on Fed policy, sticking to a longtime custom that President Donald Trump often abandoned.)

I am loving how much emotional learning is going on in school these days. I am constantly impressed by so many of the things that my kids are learning about identifying and regulating their emotions.For example, my kid's public elementary school has a calm space for kids to go when they're feeling overwhelmed. And they're learning how to label and identify their feelings with colors and something called a "mood meter". And, you know what, I am HERE for it.

I want to talk today about advanced degrees in the mindset coaching industry. If you are thinking about joining The MCA Certification, you might be wondering if you should go back to school to get your degree instead. This is a question that comes up all time, and it's one that I fully believe you should be asking. Because if you're really serious about becoming a mindset coach, you should explore all your options. With 18 years of experience as a mindset coach, I have seen people go through my program both with and without degrees, and what I've learned is that an advanced degree does not determine whether or not you'll be successful in this field. There are many other factors at play. If you choose to go down the advanced degree path, I don't want you to do it just because you think that's what you SHOULD do. I want you to do it for the right reasons, knowing exactly what you have to gain by doing it. The goal of this episode is to show you the big picture when it comes to advanced degrees so you can decide if you need one. I won't give you the answers, but I will give you the questions you should be asking so that you can make a decisive, informed decision, one way or another. 3 Day Summit for Aspiring Mindset Coaches: Join us for 3 days of LIVE webinar trainings!

I want to talk today about advanced degrees in the mindset coaching industry.    If you are thinking about joining The MCA Certification, you might be wondering if you should go back to school to get your degree instead.    This is a question that comes up all time, and it's one that I fully believe you should be asking. Because if you're really serious about becoming a mindset coach, you should explore all your options.    With 18 years of experience as a mindset coach, I have seen people go through my program both with and without degrees, and what I've learned is that an advanced degree does not determine whether or not you'll be successful in this field. There are many other factors at play.   If you choose to go down the advanced degree path, I don't want you to do it just because you think that's what you SHOULD do. I want you to do it for the right reasons, knowing exactly what you have to gain by doing it.    The goal of this episode is to show you the big picture when it comes to advanced degrees so you can decide if you need one.    I won't give you the answers, but I will give you the questions you should be asking so that you can make a decisive, informed decision, one way or another. 3 Day Summit for Aspiring Mindset Coaches: Join us for 3 days of LIVE webinar trainings!

Greg Abbott (R) in his standoff against the federal government over border authority. On Tuesday, the Texas National Guard appeared to ignore a Supreme Court decision and continued building razor wire barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border, preventing the federal Border Patrol from doing their jobs. In a statement Wednesday, Abbott justified the actions by claiming his authority to combat an “invasion” of the state “supersedes” federal law. GOP Govs. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Glenn Youngkin of Virginia and Brian Kemp of Georgia have all said they support Abbott’s actions. “If the Constitution really made states powerless to defend themselves against an invasion, it wouldn’t have been ratified in the first place and Texas would have never joined the union when it did,” DeSantis said on X, formerly Twitter. “TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it.” Youngkin added that the Biden administration “has turned every state into a border state,” and that Abbott is doing what the border officials “refuse to do to secure our border.” Stitt, Noem and Kemp also said their states “stand with” Texas. The federal government has claimed in court filings that the Texas National Guard has physically prevented the Border Patrol from doing its job on certain parts of the Rio Grande, as well as blocked off portions of the border previously used to process migrants. The claim that Texas officials can supersede federal authority has sparked calls from Democrats for President Biden to nationalize the Texas National Guard and force them to follow the court’s decision and federal law. Democratic Texas Reps. Joaquin Castro and Greg Casar have advocated for nationalizing the state guard. Abbott’s statement Wednesday specifically claims the federal government has “broken the compact” with the states, justifying ignoring federal law and the Supreme Court. The so-called “compact theory” is a rejected idea of state supremacy used to justify the secession of Confederate states during the Civil War. The Supreme Court repeatedly shot down the legal theory in the early years of the U.S., when it was first proposed to nullify federal legislation during former President John Adams’s time in office. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-ags-battle-blue-state-push-to-shutter-largest-ammo-manufacturer-to-punish-second-amendment-rights GOP AGs take aim at Dem plea for Biden to shut down critical ammo manufacturer Every republican attorney general in the country blasted their Democrat counterparts for attempting to shutter an ammunition factory in Missouri, a letter sent to the White House Wednesday revealed. In a letter obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital, all 28 GOP attorneys general asked President Biden and White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention director Stefanie Feldman to disregard their Democrat colleagues' request to end commercial sales from Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, one of the country’s largest ammo manufacturers. Democrats had previously asked the administration to investigate the contracting and manufacturing practices of the plant after a New York Times report alleged that "military-grade rounds" were sold commercially and were connected to mass shootings. But the Republicans say the Democrats’ letter contained a "litany of errors." "Perhaps those States should focus more on prosecuting crime to stop mass shootings—rather than trying to stop lawful Americans’ use of guns and ammunition. Their tactic is an overt attempt to punish Americans’ exercise of their Second Amendment rights, Among the list of "errors" the GOP AGs point out that their Democrat colleages allege that ammunition manufactured for "military use" does not belong in communities. "First, the ammunition manufactured at Lake City and sold into the commercial market is not the primary rifle cartridge used by the United States military. The primary cartridge is proprietary to the Army and may not be sold commercially," the AGs note. "Second, while the United States military purchases and uses a particular type of ammunition, that is not determinative as to whether it is "military ammunition" that should be banned for public use," they write. "If the United States military using ammunition precluded that ammunition’s use by civilians, then other widely and commonly available ammunition, including 9mm and 12-gauge shotshells, would also be prohibited for public use," they argued, adding that Supreme Court precedent "does not support such an openly artificial distinction." According to the state’s top prosecutors, Lake City only sells ammunition to commercial customers that is legal to manufacture, and it complies with all the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) requirements. The AGs argued that the Democrats’ efforts would undermine national security. "Gun control advocates are firing blanks when they contend that taxpayers are subsidizing mass shooters. They get causality backward. The law-abiding target shooters and gun owners who buy Lake City ammunition are subsidizing national defense and military readiness," they argue. They note that the Defense Department "sought to avoid a situation when the military needs surge due to a real-world conflict, ammunition is not readily available," adding that ammunition availability requires facilities, production equipment, a skilled workforce, and supply chains to remain in constant operation. "Machines and production cannot be turned on like the flip of a switch. It takes time to hire and train the highly skilled workers needed to operate production lines to manufacture the highest quality ammunition for U.S. warfighters. Commercial production has allowed Lake City, and its suppliers, to maintain steady labor, maximize equipment run time, ensure a stable supply base, and provide a level of readiness to the U.S. military that would not otherwise be available," they added. The attorneys general also said that Lake City cannot halt commercial use without a "detrimental loss" to their communities and economy. If it stopped, the AGs allege it would result in an estimated loss of 500–700 jobs or 30%–45% of the skilled workforce now employed at Lake City and "countless more" throughout the supply chain. Montana Attorney General Austen Knudsen in a statement to Fox News Digital called the investigation by the New York Times "highly questionable" and, their latest effort to shut down the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant is based on a highly questionable ‘investigation' by the New York Times." Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird charged that "if the Biden Administration and anti-gun activists were serious about saving lives, they would start by enforcing the laws on the books to combat violent criminals." Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey echoed those sentiments, adding that "Lake City Ammunition did nothing wrong." "We should be focused on the free flow of illegal weapons coming across our border – not taking aim at law-abiding patriots," Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said, adding that the border crisis "is exactly why law-abiding citizens need the liberty to defend themselves." https://thefederalist.com/2024/01/24/canadian-court-rules-trudeaus-unreasonable-crackdown-on-trucker-convoy-violated-federal-law/ Canadian Court Rules Trudeau’s ‘Unreasonable’ Crackdown On Trucker Convoy Violated Federal Law A Canadian court ruled Tuesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of a controversial federal law in early 2022 to target truckers protesting their industry’s Covid vaccine mandate was “unreasonable” and illegal. The use of the Emergencies Act “does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness — justification, transparency and intelligibility,” Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley wrote. “I conclude that there was no national emergency justifying the invocation of the Emergencies Act and the decision to do so was therefore unreasonable and ultra vires.” As the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) explained, “ultra vires” is a term courts use “to refer to actions beyond the scope of the law.” In early 2022, Trudeau’s government implemented a series of Covid shot mandates for various sectors of Canadian society, including a requirement for truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border. The tyrannical mandate ultimately prompted Canadian truckers to launch the “Freedom Convoy,” a massive protest comprised of vehicles that ended outside Parliament Hill in the nation’s capital. While peaceful, the protests evoked the ire of Trudeau, who used the Emergencies Act to mobilize the Canadian military and state intel agencies to forcibly remove the demonstrators gridlocking Ottawa. In addition to backing GoFundMe’s attempts to deplatform fundraising efforts for the convoy, Trudeau’s administration also expanded “its terrorist financing rules to target crowdfunding sites like the convoy’s new platform GiveSendGo,” The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd wrote, with Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland baselessly claiming the platforms were “being used to support illegal blockades and illegal activity which is damaging the Canadian economy.” As if his abuse of the Emergencies Act weren’t despicable enough, Trudeau — who went into hiding upon the convoy’s arrival in Ottawa — also grossly smeared the protesters with the typical diatribe of leftist slanders, including accusations of “antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia.” Despite his best attempt to play the role of a dictator, Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act went beyond the scope of what is permitted by Canadian law. While the Emergencies Act can be employed to manage a national emergency that “cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada,” Mosley determined that Trudeau’s actions far exceeded that threshold. “The potential for serious violence, or being unable to say that there was no potential for serious violence was, of course, a valid reason for concern,” Mosley wrote. “But in my view, it did not satisfy the test required to invoke the Act, particularly as there was no evidence of a similar ‘hardened cell’ elsewhere in the country, only speculation, and the situation at Cou[r]ts had been resolved without violence.” Mosley further ruled that the government’s financial crackdown violated demonstrators’ Charter rights “by permitting unreasonable search and seizure of the financial information of designated persons and the freezing of their bank and credit card accounts.” Unsurprisingly, the Canadian government plans to appeal the ruling, with Freeland laughably claiming on Tuesday that the administration’s unlawful actions were “necessary” and “legal” because Canadian “national security was under real threat.” https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/taxpayers-could-get-stuck-cost-removing-offshore-wind-farm-after-biden-admin Taxpayers may get stuck with cost of removing an offshore wind farm after Biden admin waives fees The Biden administration reportedly waived fees for an offshore wind project that are in place to ensure that the infrastructure is removed and the site reclaimed at the end of the project’s life. President Joe Biden, as part of his climate agenda, is pushing an aggressive buildout of offshore wind projects along the East Coast. With the offshore wind industry struggling financially, the waiving of these fees raises concerns about what would happen if these companies go bankrupt and leave behind wind farms they can’t afford to remove. Protect The Public Trust (PPT), a government watchdog group, obtained documents showing that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) informed Vineyard Wind had approved the company’s request to waive fees for financial assurances that goes toward decommissioning costs. The bureau’s reasoning for granting the deferral, according to PPT, was that the financial assurance was “unnecessarily burdensome for lessees because, at that point, they have not begun receiving project income.” Since the project is using “proven wind turbine technology” and its contracts guaranteed electricity sale prices, BOEM reasoned, the project had a predictable income over the life of the project. The Department of Interior requires these bonds from oil and gas producers, as taxpayers have been stuck decommissioning the projects of companies that go bankrupt or were operating prior to bonding requirements. California, for example, is trying to decommission 23 federal offshore platforms at a cost of $1.7 billion, and the liability for those costs remain unresolved. There are also thousands of onshore orphaned wells across the country that the federal government is trying to plug. In some cases, these wells were drilled a century or more ago before bonding requirements, and there’s no solvent owner of record to hold accountable for the costs. In Wyoming, an industry sprang up a decade ago hoping to tap coal beds for natural gas, but after natural gas prices collapsed, the entire industry collapsed with it. The state was left with a lot of wells to plug and no companies to hold accountable. While the Biden administration is granting waivers for these protections to offshore wind projects, it’s proposing steep increases in bonding requirements for oil and gas operations. While that proposal is met with support from environmentalists, industry groups have criticized the measure. Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, told Reuters in July that rather than trying to ensure funding for reclamation efforts, the administration was raising the costs so high as a means to reduce the number of operations. Elmer Peter Danenberger III, a petroleum engineer with decades of experience in the oil and gas industry, explained on his “Bud’s Offshore Energy” blog that BOEM’s decision to waive Vineyard Wind’s obligations significantly increases the public’s risk exposure. Danenberger wrote that BOEM, in granting the waiver, cited a general departure authority, which was intended for special situations and not for waivers that could be applied broadly.

Do you hear the words “special education” and immediately have a negative thought or emotion about it? Me too! Not because there is anything wrong with our wonderful special education teachers or the programs as a whole, but because I wasn't aware of all the fantastic resources these programs provide to students.  There is so much more to special education than what you remember from school.  Here to share more about how special education programs can help students with a range of learning difficulties is Caitlin McLarnon. Caitlin is a nationally certified school psychologist who has spent the majority of her career at the elementary level in Connecticut but has also worked in New York City with children of all ages. In addition to running special education meetings, she has also been on the other side of the table as a parent, as her oldest had an IEP.  In this episode, we discuss:  What is tiered instruction?  Different types of intervention plans and what they entail.  What to do if you feel your child has an auditory or visual processing concern. How a planning and placement team meeting will set you and your child up for success.

What are some things we might see in our kids that might give us an inkling that we might need to take next steps? Is tiered support the same in all schools or does it vary? What is after tiered support if more action is needed? How long should a child be in tiered support? How long does a school have from the initial PPT meeting to complete the evaluation and get back with the parents? What are the differences between an intervention plan, a 504 plan and an IEP?  How can I make sure that my child is being tested for the right things? What should we expect as parents as far as follow up? What can you do as a parent if you don't think the plan set in place is enough for your child? If you have a specific concern for your child what is the earliest you can have them evaluated? Are services ever offered outside of the school day? Learn more about your ad choices.
