In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, for another deep dive in our “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series. This time, they unpack the U.S. Department of Education—its massive $241.7 billion annual budget, over 4,000 employees, and a growing list of responsibilities that stretch from preschool to post-graduate programs. But here's the twist: Many of the programs you might assume fall under the Department of Education actually don't. For example, the federal Head Start preschool program is run by the Department of Health and Human Services. And even more surprising? The Department of Education has its own disaster recovery unit—despite FEMA already handling emergency response at a national level. David and Jeremiah explore how this kind of duplication across federal agencies leads to confusion, inefficiency, and wasted taxpayer dollars. From overlapping financial literacy programs to higher education policies that funnel students into costly four-year degrees, the episode makes the case for smarter, streamlined approaches that empower students and families—not bureaucracies. They also highlight a common-sense reform that could save the federal government $9.4 billion without cutting services: giving students more flexibility in how they use federal aid for education paths that make the most sense for them. If you've ever wondered why sending your kid to college feels so expensive—or why the federal government seems to do the same job twice—this episode is for you.

Despite the current low rate of unemployment, there seems to be a mini wave of redundancies in the middle and senior ranks of many companies at present.     Experiencing redundancy can be a significant blow to your confidence. However, it's crucial to recognise that redundancy is rarely a reflection of your performance, skills, or dedication. More often than not, it results from shifts in the industry, changes within the company, or simply the natural structure of the workforce. Organizations evolve, and roles that were once essential may no longer fit within the new direction.    While redundancy can bring about financial and emotional stress, including concerns about maintaining your lifestyle and finding new employment, it also presents opportunities. This transition can be the perfect moment to re-evaluate your career path and explore new possibilities that may have been out of reach before. Whether it's pursuing a different career, starting your own business, or finding greater work-life balance, redundancy can serve as a catalyst for positive change.    Subscribe to our weekly GainingCHOICE email General advice disclaimer

It has been revealed that a disability welfare service company with its headquarters in Shinjo City has indicated its intention to close its seven Type A continuous employment support offices in the prefecture at the end of March next year. According to the company, it plans to close seven Type A continuous employment support offices, where disabled people work under employment contracts, in Shinjo City, Murayama City, and other locations at the end of March next year, and lay off over 200 employees. The company explained the reason for closing the facilities as follows: "The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has indicated its intention to abolish the annual income requirement for social insurance premiums. If this is abolished, we estimate that our annual burden will increase by approximately 68 million yen. It will be difficult to generate profits that correspond to this."

So I successfully rode 75 miles on a single charge of my eBike battery (with a little bit of a top off!). What did I learn from the adventure and what does it mean for future trips with my ebike?  eBike Range Test Takeaways 75ish miles is pretty great with a little top off… that's amazing for the C&O and other reasonably flat terrain! 1.Battery Management is Key •The ride underscored the importance of efficient battery use. Keeping the e-bike battery between 20% and 80% for everyday use is recommended, but for extended trips, charging to 100% proved essential. However, overuse of higher pedal-assist levels (like Level 3) quickly drained the battery, emphasizing the need to stick to lower levels (1 or 2) to maximize range. 2.Comfort Adjustments are Ongoing •Experimentation with the saddle and handlebars revealed that finding the right configuration for long rides is a process. While the new saddle and bar extensions offered some comfort, they weren't perfect, suggesting that further adjustments or a different saddle type (like a Brooks) may be needed for better ergonomics. 3.Weather and Trail Conditions Impact Performance •The dry, cool weather and improved trail conditions (like the newly paved Western Maryland Rail Trail) enhanced the ride experience. However, headwinds were a challenge, requiring adjustments in effort and assist levels to maintain speed. 4.Range and Effort Balance •The ride confirmed that the e-bike could cover about 70-75 miles on a single charge, with minimal hills and strategic use of pedal assist. This opens possibilities for long-distance touring with the addition of a second battery but highlighted that even with assist, significant physical effort is still required, particularly on longer rides. 5.Preparation and Redundancy are Crucial •While the ride was successful, minor issues like forgetting a bike lock, misplacing microphone components, and underestimating hydration needs pointed to the importance of thorough preparation. Carrying a spare battery, hydration supplies, and tools for adjustments proved beneficial. The ebike is absolutely in my plans for some adventures - Train and bike to/from DC - really anyplace but emphasis on east coast - Circumnavigation of Lake Ontario - More east coast greenway riding - Another segment of the cross country ride

During this series of informative  podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Nikita: Welcome back to another episode of the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University, and I'm joined by Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hi everyone! In our last episode, we spoke about Oracle MySQL ecosystem and its various components. We also discussed licensing, security, and some key tools. What's on the agenda for today, Niki? 00:52 Nikita: Well Lois, today, we're going beyond tools and features to talk about installing MySQL. Whether you're setting up MySQL for the first time or looking to understand its internal structure a little better, this episode will be a valuable guide.  Lois: And we're lucky to have Perside Foster back with us. Perside is a MySQL Principal Solution Engineer at Oracle. Hi Perside! Say I wanted to get started and install MySQL. What factors should I keep in mind before I do that?  01:23 Perside: The first thing to consider is the environment for the database server. MySQL is supported on many different Linux distributions. You can also run it on Windows or Apple macOS.  You can run MySQL on a variety of host platforms. You can use dedicated servers in a server room or virtual machines in a data center. Developers might prefer to deploy on Docker or Kubernetes containers. And don't forget, you can deploy HeatWave, the MySQL cloud version, in many different clouds. MySQL has great multithreading capability. It also has support for Non-Uniform Memory Access or NUMA. This is particularly important if you run large systems with hundreds of concurrent connections. MySQL storage engine, InnoDB, makes effective use of your available memory. It stores your active data in a buffer pool. This greatly improves access time compared to reading straight from disk. Of course, SSDs and other solid state media are much faster than hard disks. But don't forget, MySQL can make full use of that performance benefit too. Redundancy is very important for the MySQL server. Hardware with redundant power supply, storage media, and network connections can make all the difference to your uptime. Without redundancy, a single point of failure will bring down the server if it fails. 03:26 Nikita: Got it. Perside, from where can I download the different editions of MySQL? Perside: Our most popular software is the MySQL Community Edition. It is available at no cost for mysql.com for many platforms. This version is why MySQL is the most popular database for web application. And it is also open source. MySQL Enterprise Edition is the commercial edition. It is fully supported by Oracle. You can get it from support.oracle.com as an Oracle customer. If you want to try out the enterprise features but are not yet a customer, you can get the latest version of MySQL as a trial edition from edelivery.oracle.com. Because MySQL is open source, you can get the source code from either mysql.com or GitHub. Most people don't need the source. But any developer who wants to modify the code or even contribute back to the project are welcome to do so.  04:43 Lois: Perside, can you walk us through MySQL's release model? Perside: This is divided into LTS and Innovation releases, each with a different target audience. LTS stands for long-term support. MySQL 8.4 is an LTS release and will be supported for several years. LTS releases are feature-stable. When you install an LTS release, you can apply future bug fixes and security patches without changing any behavior in the product. The bug fixes and security patches are designed to be backward compatible. This means you can upgrade easily from previous releases. LTS releases come every two years. This allows you to maintain a stable system without having to change your underlying application too frequently. You will not be forced to upgrade after two years. You can continue to enjoy support for an LTS release for up to eight years. Along with LTS releases, we also have Innovation releases. These contain the latest leading-edge features that are developed even in the middle of an LTS cycle. You can upgrade from LTS to Innovation and back again, depending on which features you require in your application. Innovation releases have a much more rapid cadence. You can get the latest features every quarter. This means Innovation releases are supported only for their specific release. So, if you're on the Innovation track, you must upgrade more frequently. All editions of MySQL are shipped as both LTS and Innovation releases. This includes the self-managed editions and also HeatWave in the cloud. You can treat both LTS and Innovation releases as production-ready. This means they are generally available releases. Innovation does not mean beta quality software. You get the same quality support from Oracle whether you're using LTS or Innovative software. The MySQL client software and other tools will operate with both LTS and innovation releases.  07:43 Nikita: What are connectors in the context of MySQL? Perside: Connectors are the language-specific software component that connects your application to MySQL. You should use the latest version of connectors. Connectors are also production-ready, generally available software. They will work with any version of MySQL that is supported at the time of the connector's release. 08:12 Nikita: How does MySQL integrate with Docker and other container platforms? Perside: You might already be familiar with the Docker store. It is used for getting containerized images of software. As an Oracle customer, you might be familiar with My Oracle Support. It provides support and updates for all supported Oracle software in patches.  MySQL works well with virtualization and container platform, including Docker. You can get images from the Community Edition on Docker Hub. If you are an Enterprise Edition customer, you can get images from the Docker store for MySQL Oracle Support or from Oracle container's registry.  09:04 Lois: What resources are available for someone who wants to know more about MySQL? Perside: MySQL has detailed documentation. You should familiarize yourself with the documentation as you prepare to install MySQL. The reference manual for both Community and Enterprise editions are available at the Developer Zone at dev.mysql.com. Oracle customers also have access to the knowledge base at support.oracle.com. It contains support information on use cases and reference architectures. The product team regularly posts announcements and technical articles to several blogs. These blogs often contain pre-release announcements of upcoming features to help you prepare for your next project. Also, you'll find deep dives into technical topics and complex problems that MySQL solves. This includes some problems specific to highly available architecture. We also feature individual blogs from high profile members of our team. These include the MySQL Community evangelist lefred. He posts about upcoming events and interesting features. Also, Dimitri Kravchuk offers blogs that provide deep dives into performance. 10:53 Nikita: Ok, now that I have all this information and am prepped and ready, how do I actually install MySQL on my operating system? What's the process like? Perside: You can install MySQL on various operating system, depending on your needs. These might include several distributions of Linux or UNIX, Windows, Mac OS, Oracle Linux based on the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, Solaris, and freeBSD. As always, the MySQL documentation provides full details on supported operating system. It also provides the specific installation steps for each of the operating system. Plus, it tells you how to perform the initial configuration and further administrative steps.  If you're installing on Windows, you have a couple of options. First, the MySQL Installer utility is the easiest way to install MySQL. It installs MySQL and performs the initial configuration based on options that you choose at installation time. It includes not only the MySQL server, but also the most important connectors, the MySQL Shell Client, MySQL Workbench Client with user interface and common utilities for troubleshooting and administration. It also installs several sample databases and models and documentation. It's the easiest way to install MySQL because it uses an installation wizard. It lets you select your installation target location, what components to install, and other options. 12:47 Lois: But what if I want to have more control?  Perside: For more control over your installation, you can install MySQL from the binary zip archive. This does not include sample or supporting tools and connectors, but only contains the application's binaries, which you can install anywhere you want. This means that the initial configuration is not performed by selecting an option through a wizard. Instead, you must configure the Windows service and MySQL configuration file yourself. Linux installation is more varied. This is because of the different distribution and also because of its terms of flexibility. On many distributions of Linux, you can use the package manager native to that distribution. For example, you can use the yum package manager in all Oracle Linux to install RPM files. You can also use a binary archive to install only the files. To decide which method you want to use, it's based on several factors. How much you know about MySQL files and configuration and the operating system on which you're going to do the installation? Any applicable standard or operating procedures within your own company's IT infrastructure, how much control do you need over this installation and how flexible a method do you need? For example, the RPM package for Oracle Linux, it installs the file in specific locations and with a specific service, MySQL user account. 14:54 Transform the way you work with Oracle Database 23ai!

Perside: Much of MySQL's behavior is standard and always exists when you install the server. However, you can configure some additional behaviors by extending MySQL with plugins or components. Plugins operate closely with the server and by calling APIs exposed by the server, they add features by providing extra functions or variables. Not only do they add variables, they can also interact with the servers on global variables and functions. That makes them work as if they are dynamically loadable parts of the server itself. Components also extend functionality, but they are separate from the server and extend its functionality through a service-based architecture. You can also extend MySQL in other ways-- by creating stored procedures, triggers, and functions with standard SQL and MySQL extensions to that language, or by creating external dynamically loaded user-defined functions. 16:49 Lois: Perside, can we talk about the initial user accounts? Perside: A MySQL account identifier is more than just a username and password. It consists of three elements, two that identify the account, and one that is used for authentication. The three elements are the username, it's used to log in from the client; the hostname element, it identifies a computer or set of computers; and the password, it must be provided to gain access to MySQL. The hostname is a part of the account identifier that controls where the user can log in. It is typically a DNS computer name or an IP address. You can use a wildcard, which is the percentage sign to allow the name user to log in from any connected host, or you can use the wildcard as part of an IP address to allow login from a limited range of IP addresses. 17:58 Nikita: So, what happens when I install MySQL on my computer? Perside: When you first install MySQL on your computer, it installs several system accounts. The only user account that you can log in to is the administrative account. That's called the root account. Depending on the installation method that you use, you'll either see the initial root password on the console as you install the server, or you can read it from the log file. For security reasons, the password of a new account, such as the root account must change. MySQL prevents you from executing any other operation with that account until you have changed the password.  18:46 Lois: What are the system requirements for installing and running MySQL? Perside: The MySQL service must run as a system-level user. Each operating system has its own method for creating such a user. All operating system follows the same general principles. However, when using the MySQL installer on Windows or the RPM package installation on Oracle Linux, each installation process creates and configure the system-level user. 19:22 Lois: Perside, since MySQL is always evolving, how do I upgrade it when newer versions become available?  Perside: When you upgrade MySQL, you have to bring the server down so that the upgrade process can replace all of the relevant binary executable files. And if necessary, update the data and configuration to suit the new software. The safest thing to do is to back up your whole MySQL environment. This includes not only your data in the files, such as binaries and configuration files, but also logical elements, including triggers, stored procedures, user configuration, and anything else that's required to rebuild your system. The upgrade process gives you two main options. An in-place upgrade uses your existing data directory. After you shut down your MySQL server process, you either replace the package or binaries with new versions, or you install the new binary executables in a new location and point your symbolic links to this new location. The server process detects that the data directory belongs to an earlier version and performs any required upgrade checks. 20:46 Lois: Thank you, Perside, for taking us through the practical aspects of using MySQL.

Currently, unemployment is sitting at 4.6 percent or 143,000 people out of work. Treasury forecast have it rising to 5.3 percent by this years end. Today, the Alliance Group confirmed it's shutting down it's meat processing plant in Timaru; that's 600 jobs gone. Earlier this month Winstone pulp closed two sites in the Ruapehu district with 230 losing their jobs and this week Kiwirail said it would offer all staff voluntary redundancy. How does that work and what do employees need to know if they've been offered redundancy? Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

Resilience, the ability to carry on in the face of adversity, is a hot topic among those who manage industrial systems. Automatic server failover is an important building block for making automation systems resilient. Not long ago, this was a luxury only large systems could afford. With increased accountability and advances in technology, industrial users of every size are now obliged to consider how redundancy can increase system resilience.  Chris Little, media relations director at Trihedral Engineering Limited, creators of VTScada software, talked with Control about five questions users must ask to ensure a new SCADA application will support redundancy.
