On the Self-Publishing with ALLi Podcast, Orna Ross talks about the latest ALLi projects designed to support both the creative and commercial sides of an indie author's life. In this episode, she discusses the new indie author bookstore, the Indie Author Income Survey, and why understanding your own definition of success matters as much as the numbers. Orna encourages authors to think about what "enough" looks like in their writing lives and offers practical steps to move toward those goals, whether that means updating your author profile, planning your next release, or carving out regular time for business decisions. About the Host Orna Ross launched the Alliance of Independent Authors at the London Book Fair in 2012. Her work for ALLi has seen her named as one of The Bookseller's "100 top people in publishing". She also publishes poetry, fiction, and nonfiction and is greatly excited by the democratizing, empowering potential of author-publishing. For more information about Orna, visit her website.
ITP - 134 A huge welcome to Rita Bateson of Eblana Learning, who unpacks the real-world mess and magic of AI in education. She takes listeners through her globe-trotting career from Dublin to Rome, Bermuda, Germany, and the IB, weaving in how AI is reshaping classrooms, assessment, teacher workload, academic integrity, and student habits. Rita explains the Overton Window of AI discourse, why teachers need both AI literacy and healthy skepticism, and how schools can balance innovation with ethics, sustainability, and good old-fashioned human expertise.The hosts dig into critical thinking, cognitive offloading, phone-free schools, environmental costs of AI, and why students' inch-wide, mile-deep use of AI demands that teachers develop broader understanding. Rita also shares the mission behind Eblana Learning, their AI curriculum, PD academy, and her drive to support leaders navigating AI without panic or techno-worship.

In this Foojay Podcast, we're diving deep into some of the most exciting developments happening within the OpenJDK and TornadoVM projects.At the Devoxx and JFall conferences, we spoke with several speakers and visitors about some of the major themes that are shaping the future of Java development. The first guest is Moritz Halbritter from the Spring Engineering team. He provides us with more insights into Project Leyden and how it's improving Java startup times through ahead-of-time compilation and profiling. We'll learn how Spring Boot developers can already take advantage of these improvements today.Next, we'll hear from John Cecerralli at Azul about performance optimizations, the evolution from x86 to ARM64 architectures, and how OpenJDK Projects bring improvements to the JVM itself at levels we couldn't achieve before.Then, Balkrishna Rawool will guide us through the world of vector databases and explain how Java's Vector API from Project Panama is perfectly positioned for AI use cases, despite its development beginning years before the current AI boom.And finally, we'll meet some of the team members behind TornadoVM - Christos Kotselidis and Michalis Papadimitriou from the University of Manchester - who will explain to us how Java developers can now harness the power of GPUs for AI workloads, running large language models in pure Java without leaving the Java ecosystem. They also explain the connection between TornadoVM and the OpenJDK Project Babylon.00:00 Introduction of topics and guests01:58 Moritz Halbritter* https://www.linkedin.com/in/moritz-halbritter-9301a1b1/* Project Leyden and how it can already be used with Spring* Difference between the approach of Project Leyden and CRaC11:02 John Cecerralli* https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-ceccarelli-95b7041/* OpenJDK evolutions in Project Leyden* Startup time improvements in Azul Prime* Java performance* ARM Graviton17:08 Balkrishna Rawool* https://www.linkedin.com/in/balkrishnarawool/* Vector API, project Panama22:44 Christos Kotselidis, Michalis Papadimitriou* https://www.linkedin.com/in/michalis-papadimitriou/* https://www.linkedin.com/in/kotselidis/* https://www.tornadovm.org/* https://www.tornadovm.org/gpullama3* https://github.com/beehive-lab/TornadoVM* TornadoVM status update, Java on GPU* How TornadoVM relates to Project Babylon and Project Panama33:42 Outro

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Eric Mosley, Founder, CEO, and Board Member at Workhuman to discuss how AI and recognition are reshaping the workplace. Eric reveals how companies can unlock hidden talent and reduce bias by combining AI with the human data hidden inside recognition moments.He explains why 80–90% of AI projects fail, not because of the technology, but because companies lack meaningful data to train their systems. Recognition, he says, provides a treasure trove of insight into real performance, collaboration, and potential.From the emotional power of gratitude to the measurable ROI of recognition, Eric paints a vision of the future where AI doesn't replace humanity, it amplifies it.

Ottawa just rolled out part two of its infrastructure Christmas wish list. Whether it'll get what it asked for is up in the air. Targeted advertising has broken containment from your Instagram feed and made it to the real world.
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Carney government's new list of major projects and what it reveals about Ottawa's economic strategy. They argue that projects require financing rather than regulatory acceleration, suggesting the government is overriding market signals through subsidies. In the back half of the show, they discuss rising economic discontent among younger Canadians, the potential for a "bourgeoisie revolt," and what it means for Canadian politics. They also explore whether Pierre Poilievre's controversial style meets this moment of economic anxiety, and why Mark Carney's technocratic approach could be deemed as out of touch.

AI isn't coming for your solopreneur job, but it will happily take your tasks. In this episode, Carly and Joe break down how to turn AI into the world's most over-eager intern: fast, enthusiastic, occasionally clueless, and totally coachable. From using AI without losing your voice…to avoiding “hallucination traps”… to building a GPT that actually remembers what you told it, this episode shows solopreneurs exactly how to manage AI, not get managed by it.FAQs From The Episode:How do I actually ‘train' AI for my business?”Treat it like onboarding a new team member. Upload or paste your brand guidelines, audience description, business plan, examples of your writing, and list of do's/don'ts into a custom GPT. Then, add instructions that reinforce your tone, values, target audience, and preferred outputs. Revisit the training regularly, because AI can “forget” if everything stays in one long chat thread.What tasks should I delegate to AI, and which ones should stay 100% mine?Delegate:Drafting (blogs, emails, social posts)Research summariesBrainstorming ideasRewriting in different tonesOrganizing messy textNever delegate:Strategic thinkingTopic selectionOpinions or point of viewFinal editsAny part of your brand voice that requires nuanceAI can assemble the pieces, but you must decide what the puzzle looks like.How do I keep AI from drifting, forgetting instructions, or making weird mistakes?Use a custom GPT (not just one long chat). Put your recurring instructions directly into the system prompt so they don't fall out of the context window. Reinforce boundaries often (“never use profanity,” “don't use dashes,” etc.), provide examples, and correct mistakes as they happen. Think of it as ongoing performance management. The more feedback and clarity you give, the better it performs.
The permitting process for carbon-capture projects is, in some ways, like navigating Houston's notorious rush-hour traffic — if everyone tries to move at once, gridlock can quickly ensue. That's true at both the federal level, where the EPA has more sequestration wells under review than ever before, and at the state level, where Louisiana just hit the pause button on its reviews. In today's RBN blog, we look at how increased interest in carbon capture has exacerbated the permitting backlog.
Ever taken Kaohsiung's cable car across the harbor, had fun at Chiayi's Universal Studios theme park, marveled at Taiwan's Statue-of-Liberty-style gift to the US (a giant Moon Goddess monument)? Well, no, you couldn't have because these projects were never realized. These are just a few of the many bleached bones we explore from the graveyard of broken dreams.AND – there will be an extra episode coming this Saturday with a wild premise. Is it possible the ancient Chinese settled in Taiwan during the time of China's first emperor, or in Japan, or crossed the Pacific and made contact with Central American civilizations such as the Maya?Please follow, share, review, like, etc.
In this conversation recorded at the Ignition Community Conference, Vlad, Dave, and their guest David Grussenmeyer from Inductive Automation explore one of the most important and inspiring stories in the world of industrial automation education. David leads the Educational Engagement Program at Inductive Automation and has spent the last several years building a global network of universities, colleges, students, and integrators who are working together to bridge the gap between academic theory and real world industrial skills. This episode provides a detailed look at how the Student Buildathon was created, how it works, why it matters, and what it means for the future of the controls and automation workforce.The discussion goes far beyond the event itself. David explains how the industry's needs for engineering talent have shifted, why many academic institutions struggle to keep pace with modern automation technologies, and how Inductive Automation is supporting both professors and students to meaningfully upgrade the curriculum. The episode also explores the importance of industry partnerships, the challenge of faculty bandwidth, the value of internships and academic co op programs, and the realities of teaching automation in an evolving landscape of legacy systems, modern platforms, and everything in between.Listeners will gain insight into how universities can adopt Ignition, how integrators can help shape the workforce pipeline, how students can develop real industry skills before graduating, and how modern industrial technology can be taught effectively without overwhelming educators. Vlad and Dave also share their own perspectives from years of integration work and reflect on how different their own educational experiences would have been if programs like this had existed earlier. This episode is educational, practical, and inspiring for anyone working in automation, industrial education, system integration, or workforce development.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Ignition Community Conference and the Student Buildathon01:25 How the Educational Engagement Program at Inductive Automation was created03:22 The origin story behind the Student Buildathon concept05:16 How the seventy two hour challenge works for student competitors06:44 Requirements for student teams and how the selection process works08:49 Why universities struggle to adopt new technology and how industry partnerships help10:41 How integrator involvement accelerated program adoption across universities12:28 The gap between academic theory and real industry practice14:01 Building a complete lab curriculum for professors using Ignition17:24 Why students should learn both modern and legacy industrial systems18:20 Feedback from professors teaching Ignition for the first time20:59 Understanding the different educator profiles and adoption journeys23:15 How Inductive Automation built the five lab training series for schools25:17 The future of the educational program including internships and co op models27:39 Why academic co op programs are powerful for building real engineering experience29:26 How to join the Student Buildathon or the Educational Engagement ProgramVlad RomanovVlad is the founder of Joltek, co host of the Manufacturing Hub podcast, and a long time controls and manufacturing systems engineer with deep experience in SCADA, MES, data architecture, and plant digital transformation.

We have a climate crisis, housing shortages, and increasing urban disconnection, we need a pioneering radical approach to development that puts nature and human flourishing at its core. Human Nature, led by Joanna Yarrow, are creating living, breathing ecosystems that challenge how we normally go about urban design."We've boxed ourselves into a corner by having the starting point that we are separate from nature," Joanna explains. Places should not just exist alongside nature, they should be fundamentally integrated with it.Human Nature has identified three critical place typologies that could transform how we live. These are urban neighbourhoods, rural clusters, and new settlements. Their flagship project, the Phoenix in Lewes, East Sussex, demonstrates what's possible when we reimagine development."Places aren't just buildings. They are infrastructure, streets, parks, alleyways, rivers – a collection of components that includes hardware like pavements and water systems, and software like community services."The Phoenix project is a testament to this holistic approach. Spanning 7.9 hectares of former industrial land, it will become the UK's largest bio-based development, featuring 685 homes constructed primarily from natural materials like timber, hemp, and lime.But this isn't just about sustainable construction. It's about redesigning entire lifestyles. "We want to create the optimal precondition for a better, healthy, and more sustainable way of life." This means designing neighbourhoods where car dependency becomes unnecessary, where food production is integrated, and where nature isn't an afterthought but the central organising principle.Her background – growing up in a 64-acre working wood in Sussex – deeply influences her approach. "Nature was my playground," she recalls. This personal connection translates into a professional mission to mainstream sustainable living.The challenge, she argues, isn't technological. "Most of this is not rocket science. Most of this has been done already. We don't need to reinvent the wheel." Instead, we need collective will and a systemic reimagining of development.We should review the concept of “developers” to be not just extractive profit-makers, but as stewards with critical societal duty. "You are shaping people's lives for decades, generations to come. What a responsibility."Everyone can contribute to change. "The power sits with all of us to weave this into our everyday life.” This might mean walking a different route to work, engaging with local green spaces, or challenging existing development models.The benefits extend far beyond environmental considerations. These nature-integrated spaces promise improved mental health, community connection, and a sense of belonging that modern developments often strip away."Wouldn't it be wonderful, if our schools had forests instead of fences? If our walk to work included fruit trees, flowers, and bird song? If our homes and offices could breathe without us needing to open a window?"Projects like the Phoenix prove such transformative development is possible. By demonstrating viable alternatives, Human Nature is creating blueprints for a regenerative future. We can redesign our built environment to enhance not compromise both human and natural systems.https://humannature-places.com/Bonus show notes: Advice for Developers to Design Better, Based on Joanna Yarrow's insights:1. Shift Your Mindset- Stop seeing development as unit production and profit extraction- Become "stewards" rather than "extractors"- Recognise that you're shaping lives for generations, not just building temporary structures 2. Embrace Holistic Design- Don't just design buildings, design entire "places" that include: * Infrastructure * Streets * Parks * Community services * Green spaces- Consider the entire ecosystem, not just the physical structure 3. Prioritise Collaboration- Practice "deep collaboration" with: * Local communities * Specialist architects and designers * Environmental experts * Interest groups- Be transparent and open-source about your learning and processes 4. Focus on Positive Impact- Design with three core considerations: * Climate positive outcomes * Nature enhancement * Human flourishing- Create places that inspire and enable sustainable living5. Think Beyond Traditional Boundaries- Consider different place typologies: * Urban neighbourhoods * Rural clusters * New settlements- Customise design to specific bioregional contexts6. Integrate Nature Seamlessly- Don't treat nature as an "other" or additional feature- Centre nature in every design decision- Create multi-sensory experiences that connect humans with natural systems7. Enable Sustainable Lifestyles- Design spaces that make sustainable living: * Easy * Attractive * Accessible- Reduce car dependency- Incorporate food production- Create green corridors and natural infrastructure8. Engage Communities- Run collaborative design processes- Host community events and design festivals- Seek input and co-creation from local residents- Be propositional, not oppositional9. Think Long-Term- Stay involved beyond initial construction- Consider how places will be lived in and managed over decades- Create flexible, adaptable designs10. Be Ambitious and Brave- Challenge existing development models- Learn from international best practices- Don't be afraid to pioneer new approachesAs Joanna powerfully states: "We need to both inspire and enable a healthier, positive, lower impact, more sustainable way of life."How Shall We Live?” - Human Nature's research collaboration focusing on how to create new settlements with positive impacts - with Arup, Heatherwick Studio, White Arkitekter and others - Link herehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/134fqrlGzislmGF4wFJ8n3Zl3j-QI9bfC/viewJoanna Yarrow is the Chief Impact Officer at Human Nature, a sustainable placemaking company dedicated to designing, building, and operating places that make sustainable living easy and attractive.Previously, Joanna served as the Global Head of Sustainable & Healthy Living at IKEA, where she led initiatives to make sustainable living affordable, attractive, and accessible worldwide.

Send us a textThis episode features Dr. Sofia Isabel Perazzo (Children's National Hospital) and Dr. Rakesh Rao (St. Louis Children's Hospital) discussing a CHNC Explore analysis of intestinal stricture formation following surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Using 15 years of CHND data, they examined over 2,400 surgical NEC cases, finding an overall stricture incidence of about 31%, with striking inter-center variability (24–38%). Lower gestational age, stoma creation, and combined drainage-laparotomy increased risk, while peritoneal drainage was protective. Hispanic ethnicity was associated with lower risk. Although their predictive model (AUC 0.67) was modest, the findings offer valuable benchmarks for parent counseling, quality improvement, and hypothesis generation.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode, Luke Hessler gets radically real about losing everything and rebuilding faster using the only assets no one can take: mindset, skills, and relationships. We dig into personal branding for any personality (yes, introverts), the “one post a day for a year” muscle, turning your warm network into real leads (today), and scaling without employees by fixing fulfillment first and systemizing customer acquisition. It's gritty, generous, and wildly practical.FAQs From The EpisodeI'm introverted. Can I really build a personal brand without being on camera all day? Yes. A personal brand is just your authentic offline reputation, online. If video drains you, lead with thoughtful written posts, frameworks, and slow-paced explanations. The people who think like you will prefer it. Pick one platform, post once daily for a year, and use simple content buckets (e.g., Expertise, Process, Personal). Watch engagement to see what lands, then iterate.I need leads fast on a tiny budget. What should I do this week? Start with your warm network. Make a handwritten (or spreadsheet) list of every relevant contact and call them. Offer a small “beta” program to a few ideal clients for free in exchange for a testimonial, a case study, and 1–2 introductions. Measure it like math: if 1 in 10 says “yes,” and you need 5 clients, make 50 quality outreaches. Don't overcomplicate. Sort for the “ready now,” not convince the “not now.”How do I scale without hiring employees and avoid burning out? Fix fulfillment first. Ensure partners/vendors can handle increased volume so new sales don't create churn. Then systemize customer acquisition (choose one core motion: landing page + traffic, affiliates, or cold outbound that sets appointments). Expect a short initial sprint (the jet uses 80% of fuel on takeoff), then automate/outsourcing what worked: repurpose posts, templatize outreach, use software or reliable vendors. Choose a sustainable cadence over heroics.

If global nuclear energy capacity is to at least triple by 2050 it is going to need huge, huge investment - estimates suggest $250billion a year for 25 years. So how will it be financed and what are the opportunities and challenges for financiers wanting to get involved? To find out more, host Alex Hunt is joined by World Nuclear Association's Lola Infante, Senior Programme Lead Economics and Finance, and David Stearns, nuclear finance advisor and consultant.They consider why nuclear projects have generally been state-financed in the past, and what the industry needs to do to ensure that it attracts private finance for future schemes, including "financing by design" where, as David puts it, "you embed and you write the financial coding at the same time that you're doing your site assessment, at the same time that you're checking your early stage regulatory approvals".There is discussion of the growing appetite by global investment banks and multilateral banks to invest in new nuclear and the challenges of structuring financing to ensure it is attractive despite the long timescales involved in planning, building and then operating a new nuclear power plant.They also provide insights into what has been learned so far from the Financing Nuclear Briefing series, which brings the nuclear industry and financiers together to discuss financing issues under Chatham House rules.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsInvestment decisions needed to avoid fuel cycle supply gaps'Difficult to overstate demand from institutional investors' for nuclearEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit: Presenter Alex Hunt.

In this episode, Ricardo discusses the role of luck and probability in project management. He explains that while luck can influence outcomes, it favors those who are prepared. Probability, he says, is not a prediction but a decision-making tool that helps manage uncertainty. Effective project managers turn randomness into results through preparation: identifying risks, creating contingency plans, defining triggers, and building buffers. Ricardo also warns against hindsight bias, which makes us underestimate luck after success. He recommends modeling uncertainty with scenarios, using simulations for high-risk decisions, protecting the critical path with buffers, and designing flexibility into projects. True management, he concludes, is not about eliminating luck but shaping how it affects outcomes—turning uncertainty into smarter choices and opportunities. Listen to the podcast to learn more!
