Vitamin K shots for newborns have become a hot topic online — but what does the science actually say? In this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we break down Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB), a rare but potentially devastating condition that can cause dangerous internal bleeding in newborns, including bleeding in the brain. We explain why babies are born with low vitamin K levels, why the injection is recommended shortly after birth, and what parents should know about the myths and misinformation circulating on social media. We'll discuss: • What vitamin K does in the body • Why newborns are uniquely vulnerable to VKDB • The difference between the vitamin K shot and vaccines • Risks of declining the injection • What the medical evidence and decades of research show about safety • Common questions parents ask before delivery Our goal is not fear — it's facts. Whether you're expecting a baby, caring for a newborn, or simply trying to sort through conflicting information online, this episode gives you the evidence-based information you need to make informed decisions for your family.

You're a pro at seeing what went wrong, why it went wrong, and exactly what it will cost if it goes wrong again. If you love a good post mortem and naturally think in terms of evidence and precedent rather than optimism and possibility, you might be an Analyst. In this episode, I'm breaking down the third procrastination profile from my new book Procrastination Proof. Analysts excel at reviewing data and learning from results but get stuck moving from analysis to future vision. You become an archivist for mistakes, accidentally curating a perfect museum of all the times it didn't work before. The pain of the past creates the procrastination of the present. You can't do today because of something that happened yesterday. Do you know what the hardest part of the eleventh diet is? The first ten that didn't work. If this sounds like you, take the free quiz at JonAcuff.com/quiz to discover your exact procrastination profile and get a customized action plan.In This Episode:Order Procrastination Proof!You can grab a copy of my new book Procrastination Proof from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Have me speak at your next event!

A discectomy can feel like instant relief until the pain comes back, and the “small” hole in the disc turns into a repeat surgery, degeneration, and lost mobility. Joining the podcast is Greg Lambrecht, founder and executive director of Intrinsic Therapeutics, with host Geoff Pardo to unpack why recurrent lumbar disc herniation is still so common, what surgeons and patients often don't see downstream, and how his team built Barricaid to address the problem at its source: the annular defect. They also discuss the engineering logic of a bone-anchored barrier and why early “optimal” designs failed inside a body that's anything but gentle, as well as CMS versus private payer incentives and why trial protocols should be negotiated with reimbursement stakeholders early.

Most people think strong bones are defined by a single number: bone density. But what if that number is only telling part of the story?In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong sits down with Dr. John Neustadt for a second conversation centered on his latest work in bone health and fracture prevention. Together, they unpack a critical distinction—bone density versus bone strength—and why focusing solely on scan results may leave many people at risk.Dr. Neustadt brings a research-driven perspective to the overlooked factors that truly determine fracture risk, including medications, nutrient status, fall risk, and even gut health. This conversation expands the lens on osteoporosis beyond postmenopausal women and into a broader, more actionable understanding of lifelong skeletal health.If the goal is not just to improve numbers, but to prevent fractures and maintain independence, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.Learn more at https://www.nbihealth.com/***We've added NBI Health to our trusted affiliates.

Welcome back! I start with the update on what happened during the week. I then did Manny's a Reel Boy where we explored a lot, like how Polymarket is a scam, Lizard people, illiteracy rates in america, some info from a former spy, more premeditated plans, War updates, and how aliens are demons. I then finish in the funny section. Then we go to Poke My Jokes from Thursday where we go over what went right, wrong, and what I riffed on. That being said see you next week God Willing! IA!
Success in your calling requires spiritual maturity. This means we are no longer allowing our sinful nature to control us. If you are unsure whether you are spiritually mature, signs of immaturity include being jealous of one another and quarreling with each other. For example, this may show up as continuously arguing with your spouse. If you are an employee, it may appear as jealousy toward coworkers and anger toward your boss. If you are an entrepreneur, you may compare your success to that of others. If these signs are present in your life, then you are spiritually immature, which is hindering the success of your calling. __________ 1 Corinthians 3:1-5 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
AI can crank out a draft in minutes, but if the audience is wrong, the tone is off, or the facts don't match policy, you'll lose every “saved” hour in rework. In this episode, Jackie breaks down the shift she keeps seeing in instructional design teams: the new bottleneck isn't creating content, it's creating trusted content. That's why human-in-the-loop review isn't an extra process. It's the difference between fast and frustrating.Jackie walks through a simple four-step workflow you can apply to almost any training asset: Draft, Verify, Refine, and Approve (DVRA). We talk about where rework really comes from, how to stop verification from happening too late, and why “verify before you beautify” protects your time and your credibility. Jackie also shares practical checks for SME accuracy, compliance alignment, learner job context, and accessibility basics so your training is clear, safe, and usable.To make this immediately actionable, Jackie gives you a four-question review tool you can run before anything ships, plus a tiny definition of done you can paste into your next project. If you found this helpful, follow or subscribe, share the episode with a fellow designer, and leave a review so more instructional designers can find it.

Trump says he ordered the U.S. Navy to “shoot and kill any boat laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz” with “no hesitation,” warning Iran's commanders directly. PBD and the crew argue that this kind of clear red line is the only way for America to avoid World War 3.

What actually causes cognitive decline, and how much of it can we do something about? In this episode, Michael talks with neurologist and neuroscientist Dr. Majid Fotuhi about dementia, Alzheimer's, memory loss, and the everyday habits that shape brain health over time. They discuss why Alzheimer's is only part of the story, why some people remain mentally sharp into old age, and what the evidence says about exercise, sleep, diet, stress, and cognitive activity. They also cover ADHD, attention, brain training, and the difference between ordinary forgetfulness and something more serious. At the center of it all is a simple but important idea: many people think cognitive decline is just an unavoidable part of aging, when in fact there is often more room to protect brain function than most of us realize. Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD, is an adjunct professor of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins's Mind/Brain Institute, an adjunct professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at George Washington University, and is the medical director of NeuroGrow Brain Fitness Center. His groundbreaking, proprietary research has been published in The Lancet, Nature, Neurology, Neuron, Proceedings of National Academy of Science, the Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease, Journal of Rehabilitation, and Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports, among others. His new book is The Invincible Brain: The Clinically Proven Plan to Age-Proof Your Brain and Stay Sharp for Life.
Early purchase order visibility can be the difference between staying ahead of disruption and scrambling to catch up.In this episode, Mike Wiggins, Senior Vice President of Solution Design and Deployment, and Nayeli Valladares, Vice President of Solution Design and Deployment at DP World, discuss why early purchase order visibility matters more than ever as supply chains face disruption, sourcing shifts, and greater complexity. They explain how purchase orders can give teams an earlier read on demand, risk, and pressure across suppliers, carriers, brokers, and internal teams, leading to better forecasting and smarter planning around inventory, capacity, and transportation.They also explore how companies are using technology and closer coordination to make faster, more informed decisions. From tariff-driven sourcing changes and seasonal demand swings to stockout risk and communication gaps, Mike and Nayeli show how stronger visibility helps teams act sooner, reduce surprises, and build more resilient operations.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(02:23) Meet the DP World leaders(07:30) Why purchase orders matter more now(11:46) How early visibility creates an advantage(14:09) Why PO data is really a demand signal(16:51) Turning visibility into smarter control(18:56) Using KPIs and alerts to act sooner(20:25) How visibility helps prevent late orders(21:45) Why stronger PO collaboration matters(22:47) Aligning stakeholders from the start(29:43) The case for partner visibility(33:31) Where automation meets human judgmentAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Mike Wiggins: mike.wiggins@dpworld.comConnect with Nayeli Valladares: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nayeli-valladares-29871285/Learn more about DP World: https://www.dpworld.com/enConnect with Karin Bursa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karinbursa/Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/aboutLearn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWatch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-nowSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/joinWork with us!

Most NATO members were unwilling to directly assist the United States and Israel in their fight to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying, “This isn't our war.” The United Kingdom's mission to retake the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982 wasn't the United States' war, yet President Ronald Reagan still gave them the supplies necessary to retake the islands. Germany's invasion of France wasn't our war, yet Franklin D. Roosevelt still sent military equipment, and later soldiers, to retake Western Europe. However, Europe's cold shoulder may not be out of spite, but an inability to help at all, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words”: “They have dreamed of utopia and a good life, and the result is that their fertility rate is 1.3. They are shrinking. They are aging. They're not competitive. So they don't have the manpower, even though they have a 450 million-person population. Europe is larger than us by 100 million. “And even though they have a $22 trillion GDP, which is the third-largest, apparently they don't want to invest that in their own defense, or they haven't so far. They don't want us to use it when we need it.” (00:00) NATO Crisis Returns (00:26) Iran Strikes And Allied Refusals (02:44) Why Europe Cannot Contribute (05:26) Moral Posturing And Base Politics (06:08) Let NATO Fade New Alliances

⚡ Why Amicable Divorces Are Faster | Los Angeles Divorce Many people notice that amicable divorces often move faster—but it's not because steps are skipped. In Los Angeles, amicable divorces move more efficiently because agreement reduces disputes, prevents re-filing, and minimizes corrections.

This video explains why cooperation speeds things up—and what actually makes the difference.

Step 3 of the 10-part military finance essentials series. Spencer and Jamie explain why every service member needs a $1,000 emergency fund. This starter fund stops you from living paycheck to paycheck, prevents debt accumulation, and turns emergencies into inconveniences. What to Do Save $1,000 Emergency Fund Timeline: $100/week = 10 weeks $250/month = 4 months Where to keep it: High yield savings account (separate from checking) Must be FDIC or NCUA insured Options: Ally, Marcus, Capital One 360, USAA, Navy Federal Key Points Why $1,000? Covers most common emergencies (flat tire, minor repairs, appliance breakdown) Creates mental clarity and breathing room Prevents credit card debt and payday loans Most Americans can't cover $1,000 emergency - don't be one of them The Mental Shift: With $1,000 saved: emergencies become inconveniences, not crises Flat tire = annoying, not catastrophic Unexpected expense = manageable, not panic-inducing Important Notes: This is a starter emergency fund (you'll build bigger later) Okay to temporarily keep at USAA/Navy Federal Must be in separate account from daily spending Don't skip this to invest more Bottom Line: $1,000 emergency fund = financial breathing room.

If you're adopting AI quickly but revenue isn't increasing, the issue might not be your tools; it may be your roadmap. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Apryl Syed, CEO of ApetureCodex, who led three product lines at Sage and later worked on conversion strategies with enterprise brands through Bloomreach, including clients like Staples, Gap, Neiman Marcus, and Williams-Sonoma. She explains how to build an AI-enabled growth roadmap that combines people and automation, enhances the customer journey from “trial to wow,” and delivers measurable revenue growth without copying what everyone else is doing. Key Takeaways:→ Using the same AI as everyone else produces the same results.→ Some team members excel in rapid change, while others find it challenging. → Identifying where customers reach the “wow” moment helps you eliminate friction in the user journey. → After refining the product journey, improve ad targeting, then optimize landing pages and message-match. → Higher leader volume doesn't matter if the process and onboarding can't convert and retain the right customers. Apryl Syed is the CEO of ApertureCodex, a growth and innovation consultancy based in the San Francisco Bay Area. As founder, she helps technical founders see their businesses from multiple perspectives—enhancing sales, marketing, customer success, fundraising, and leadership—so they can bridge the gap between technical skills and business knowledge and grow sustainably. Previously at Sage, Apryl managed three product lines with full P&L responsibility, including sales, support, customer success, marketing, product direction, and development, and led the NPS program across Sage North America. She later led Marketing and Customer Success at Blytheco (Sage's largest U.S. partner), launched the Bellwether business magazine, developed sales onboarding, and coached teams to close million-dollar deals for manufacturers and distributors. At Bloomreach, she collaborated with enterprise brands like Staples, Neiman Marcus, and Gap to improve digital commerce performance. She also publishes Think Like a CEO and The Founder's Edge.
