Dependable. Reliable. Accommodating. Do these words describe you? Often seen as positive attributes, our need to embody these traits can sometimes lead to overcommitment and burnout. Bridgette and Lindsey talk through how constant overexertion for others can leave us with nothing for ourselves at the end of the day; how resentment can appear in our lives; and how boundaries can allow relationships to thrive.Key TakeawaysSurvival mode looks different for everybody and includes being overproductive or constantly flexible for others' needs over our own.Generational, cultural, and learned behavior contributes to our belief that productivity and dependability overshadow a person's need for relaxation.In professional settings, burnout can feel like a personal failure or shameful, making workplace culture on mental health integral to organizational wellbeing.Resentment due to stress looks different for everyone, including annoyance, flattened emotional response, and simply saying “yes” instead of assessing capacity.Boundary-setting does not limit a relationship or someone's commitment; it allows breathing room for everyone to communicate transparently about needs and space.Resources Mentioned“Employers need to focus on workplace burnout: Here's why” by American Psychological Association, 12 May 2023.Denise Albieri Jodas Salvagioni et al. “Physical, psychological and occupational consequences of job burnout: A systematic review of prospective studies”, PloS One vol. 12(10), 4 Oct. 2017.Connect and Learn More☑️ Bridgette Stumpf | LinkedIn☑️ Lindsey Silverberg | LinkedIn☑️ Volare | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook☑️ Subscribe to the TraumaTies newsletter ☑️ TraumaTies Website | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | SpotifyBrought to you by Volare, TraumaTies: Untangling Societal Harm & Healing After Crime is a podcast that creates space and conversations to dissect the structural and systemic knots that keep us from addressing trauma.Rooted in a belief that survivors of crime deserve respect for their dignity in the aftermath of victimization, Volare seeks to empower survivors by informing them of all of the options available and working to transform existing response systems to be more inclusive of the diverse needs that survivors often have after crime.Volare also provides free, holistic, and comprehensive advocacy, therapeutic, and legal services to survivors of all crime types.

In Episode 52 of The League, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid discuss several major developments shaping the future of power markets. The conversation begins with a significant New York court ruling that classified battery energy storage as a public utility, potentially giving developers a stronger path through local zoning and permitting challenges. They discuss why this legal precedent could accelerate the development of standalone battery projects across the state over the next several years. They also examine New Jersey's plans to procure 1.1 GW of nuclear power while seeking to protect ratepayers from construction and cost-overrun risk. Nuclear offers the promise of reliable, carbon-free generation, but long development timelines, financing challenges, and execution risk remain major questions. The episode then turns to the rapidly growing electricity demand created by AI and data centers. Benoy shares insights from a recent Young Professionals in Energy panel focused on how the industry can deliver reliable 24/7 power quickly enough to support data center growth. The conclusion: there is no single solution. Solar, battery storage, natural gas, fuel cells, microgrids, nuclear, transmission, and demand management will all likely play a role. The real competitive advantage may belong to companies that can navigate permitting, interconnection, financing, and infrastructure deployment faster than their competitors.   Host Bio: Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Rene Down down down down downu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups. Over his career, Benoy has developed over 100 MWs of solar projects across the U.S., helped launch the first residential solar tax equity funds at Tesla, and brokered $45 million in Renewable Energy Credits (“REC”) transactions. Prior to founding Reneu Energy, Benoy was the Environmental Commodities Trader in Tesla's Project Finance Group, where he managed one of the largest environmental commodities portfolios. He originated REC trades and co-developed a monetization and hedging strategy with senior leadership to enter the East Coast market.  As Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners, Benoy crafted project finance solutions for commercial-scale solar portfolios. His role at Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund with 125 MWs of U.S. renewable assets, involved evaluating investment opportunities and maximizing returns. He also played a key role in the sale of the firm's renewable portfolio. Earlier in his career, Benoy worked in Energy Structured Finance at Deloitte & Touche and Financial Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, following an internship on the trading floor at D.E.

It started as an idea for powering Google Docs-style collaborative editing. But Jared shares how this technology can transform WordPress development and what it means for the platform's evolution. He also reflects on the diminishing importance of technical hurdles for future developers and the opportunities for those willing to push boundaries.Key Takeaways:Real-time infrastructure turns WordPress into a live, interactive app instead of a static site.Infrastructure is the real moat, not just the feature set.WordPress keeps evolving because its architecture is flexible and API-driven.AI speeds up building, but it also compresses the traditional learning curve.WordPress's future depends on adaptability more than a fixed identity.Hype around AI can distract from the core technical skills that still matter.Reliable infrastructure will separate real solutions from flashy ideas.Important Links:WPSignalWorldHouseConnect with Jared: LinkedInThe WP Minute+ Podcast: thewpminute.com/subscribe ★ Support this podcast ★

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they cover Mike Rogers leading the Michigan Senate race but "college-educated" white women overwhelmingly backing Abdul El-Sayed, Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Dem Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan blaming only Gov. Tim Walz for the massive fraud in her state, New Jersey Dems spending a ridiculous amount of taxpayer dollars on a portrait, and the WNBA still failing to define a woman.First, they welcome the only encouraging poll of a key Senate race released by Fox News yesterday. Mike Rogers leads Abdul El-Sayed by four points in Michigan. White men are overwhelmingly behind Rogers, as are women who did not go to college. But "college-educated" women back El-Sayed 60-37 percent. We dig into the numbers and why that group is so much different than the others.Next, they shake their heads as Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan says she bears no responsibility for the fraud scandal in her state because "the buck stops" with Gov. Tim Walz. She also wishes somebody would have done something about it sooner. Jim and Greg suspect voters will not be satisfied with that answer.Then, they dig into New Jersey spending $135,000 in taxpayer dollars on a portrait of former Gov. Phil Murphy. That's $50,000 more than the price tag for Gov. Chris Christie's portrait eight years ago. Jim and Greg have a simple and very cost-effective solution.Finally, they laugh as WNBA officials meet for hours to discuss who should be eligible to play in the league and they couldn't come to any conclusions.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Wheels on Meals (1984) | Jackie Chan's Cult Kung Fu Comedy | VHSSB

The VHS Strikes Back

Chosen by Maff, directed and co-written by Sammo Hung, Wheels on Meals was a Hong Kong–Spanish co-production from Golden Harvest and Laurenfilm, filmed extensively on location around Barcelona and Tarragona. Reliable published budget figures are difficult to verify, but the international production gave the film a distinctive scale and sun-drenched European setting rarely seen in Hong Kong action cinema at the time. Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung reunited as the leading trio, supported by Spanish actress Lola Forner and American martial artists Benny “The Jet” Urquidez and Keith Vitali.Released in Hong Kong on 17 August 1984, the film became one of the territory's highest-grossing local releases of the year. Its combination of acrobatic stunt work, broad comedy and carefully staged martial-arts action helped establish it as a favourite of the VHS generation. Decades later, Wheels on Meals remains celebrated for the chemistry between its three stars and for delivering fight choreography clearly enough that viewers can actually see what is happening—an increasingly revolutionary concept.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the sun-soaked streets of Barcelona, two cousins have the perfect business: fast food, four wheels and absolutely no regard for workplace health and safety.But when a mysterious young pickpocket crosses their path, Thomas and David are dragged into a dangerous plot involving ruthless criminals, a missing inheritance and one remarkably questionable private detective.This time, the meals are fast. The fists are faster.

People see that you answer the message, solve the problem, remember the birthday, meet the deadline, and hold everything together. They may even tell you, “I don't know how you do it.” But sometimes the honest answer is: you don't know how you're doing it either. In this episode of Heart Led Soul Fed, I talk about the hidden cost of being the capable, dependable woman, and why being good at coping can make it harder for anyone, including you, to notice that you're running on empty.

Kyle Kirkland Part 2: Water Reliability and Regulatory Reform Key to California Agriculture

Reliable water supplies and practical regulations remain two of the biggest issues facing California agriculture, according to congressional candidate Kyle Kirkland. In Part 2 of his interview on the AgNet News Hour, Kirkland expanded on his vision for addressing the state's water challenges, arguing that growers, environmental interests and communities all benefit when policymakers focus on practical solutions instead of political gridlock. Kirkland acknowledged California's water system is complex but said solving the problem begins with listening to those who depend on it every day. "I don't profess to be the expert," Kirkland said. "What I do profess to be is someone that can look at a complicated problem, listen, and then come up with some pretty unique solutions." He said California should bring together agricultural leaders, builders, water experts and regulators to identify long-term strategies that provide reliable water while protecting environmental resources. Rather than eliminating environmental protections, Kirkland said the state should evaluate whether current regulations are accomplishing their intended goals or simply creating unnecessary obstacles for food production. "There is a difference between regulation and suffocation," he said, arguing that California has increasingly moved toward policies that make it more difficult to produce food, housing, energy and other essential resources. During the interview, Kirkland also discussed the importance of balancing agriculture, environmental stewardship and the needs of California's growing population. He said long-term solutions should include better water management, improved storage and greater collaboration among stakeholders rather than continuing years of political conflict. The conversation broadened to include California's overall business climate. Kirkland argued that reducing unnecessary regulations and encouraging domestic production would help lower costs for consumers while strengthening the state's economy. He pointed to agriculture, energy and manufacturing as industries that can thrive when businesses have regulatory certainty and policymakers focus on encouraging production instead of creating additional barriers. AgNet News Hour hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill noted that water reliability continues to be one of the most common concerns raised by California farmers. They agreed that growers need predictable policies that allow them to make long-term investments in permanent crops and maintain productive farming operations. Wrapping up the interview, Kirkland encouraged Californians not to lose hope, saying he believes many of the state's biggest challenges are solvable through collaboration, common-sense policymaking and greater support for businesses that drive California's economy.

What happens when an enterprise AI agent can retrieve thousands of data points but cannot understand the customer, decision, or business moment in front of it? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome back Boris Bialek, Vice President of Industries and Global Field CTO at MongoDB. We examine why the enterprise AI conversation has become more professional as organizations move beyond demonstrations and begin putting agentic systems into production. Boris argues that many companies do not have a shortage of data. Their problem is turning scattered data into information and then into usable knowledge. A bank balance is data. A complete view of a customer's relationship with the bank is information. Recognizing that the customer is currently researching a mortgage and may need assistance within the next 20 seconds is knowledge. This distinction leads to Boris's concept of a knowledge garden. Structured records, unstructured content, live signals, conversations, and business context are organized around a customer or outcome. Different departments can access the parts relevant to their work while AI agents receive the context needed to respond quickly. We also discuss integration debt. Boris recalls one system that required 18 seconds to assemble a customer view and says many enterprises are working with approximately 40 primary data sources. An agent can spend so much time coordinating access across APIs, caches, and applications that the business problem becomes secondary. Trust becomes equally important once an AI agent can act. Boris introduces two measures: the agent confidence score and the business risk score. The first evaluates whether an agent's output appears reliable based on its data, behavior, and context. The second considers the consequences of allowing that decision to proceed automatically. Together, these scores can help organizations decide which actions should pass automatically, which need further machine validation, and which should reach a human reviewer. Boris also explains why data lineage and complete audit trails must be designed into production systems from the beginning. For teams beginning this work, his advice is practical. Choose one business outcome, connect two or three relevant data sources, create a working prototype, and involve business and technical leaders in the same conversation. The goal is to demonstrate how data, context, confidence, risk, and human review work together before expanding the system. Does your organization have an AI data problem, or does it have a knowledge and context problem? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts with me.

What happens when language access moves from a compliance checkbox to a strategic priority? In part one of this two-part Elevate Care series, host Christin Stanford talks with Suzanne (Sue) Smith, System Director of Patient Experience at Main Line Health, about the evolving role of language services across a five-hospital system outside Philadelphia. Sue walks through how her team reframed language access from a cost center function into an essential clinical tool, one that belongs alongside staff, medicine, and equipment as a core part of care delivery. She shares how Main Line Health doubled its device deployment, the operational and financial ripple effects that followed, and why quality, safety, and patient experience function as a three-legged stool that only stands when every leg holds. The conversation also covers the human side of the equation: reduced staff burnout, stronger trust with patients who use American Sign Language, and fewer patients leaving without being seen. Sue makes the case that language access is not a cost center. It is a bridge for building relationships, supporting staff, and driving the kind of connected care that keeps patients coming back. Key Takeaways Language access works best when it is treated as an essential care tool, not a call-center service or a line-item expense. Doubling device availability at Main Line Health improved communication volume and clarity, while easing pressure on nursing and support staff. Quality, safety, and patient experience depend on each other. When one falls, the whole structure falls. Reliable interpretation reduces reliance on untrained family members or staff, protecting both accuracy and patient trust. Language access touches every part of the patient journey, from registration and wayfinding to discharge paperwork, not only clinical encounters. Strong language services can reduce patients leaving without being seen and support broader operational metrics tied to patient experience.

What must happen before a business can trust AI agents to detect and resolve operational problems without waiting for human intervention? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Josh Clay, Regional Vice President of Solution Engineering for Dynatrace in the UK, about autonomous operations, AI observability, fragmented telemetry, business outcomes, and the growing pressure to control token and data costs. Josh has spent much of his 11 years at Dynatrace discussing the road toward autonomous operations. The earliest version involved reducing the time organizations spent inside IT war rooms. He remembers calls with 30 or 40 people attempting to establish which team was responsible for an incident. He jokingly calls this the "mean time to innocence." Modern observability reduced many of those investigations from several hours to between 30 and 60 minutes. Agentic AI creates the possibility of going further by identifying a problem, understanding its cause, and resolving it before the customer experience is affected. That ambition also introduces risk. Josh cites Dynatrace research showing that 52% of respondents view security, privacy, and compliance concerns as barriers to AI adoption. He believes many organizations still lack full observability across their existing technology environments, making autonomous agents harder to supervise. Josh shares a warning from Alex Hibbert of Storia Group: AI can amplify existing technology problems. If telemetry is fragmented, data quality is poor, or teams cannot see how services depend on one another, adding autonomous agents may increase the speed and scale of the resulting failure. Trust therefore depends on visibility. Josh describes observability as a control plane for agentic AI because it can show what an agent is doing, why it made a decision, and what happened afterward. Defined guardrails and real time information can give leaders confidence without asking them to surrender control blindly. The adoption figures show how early this work remains. Josh says 50% of businesses have AI operating in limited production use cases, often performing one isolated task. Only 23% describe their deployments as connected across the wider organization. We discuss how observability has progressed beyond technical monitoring. An airport can measure whether technology changes improve e-gate availability and passenger processing times. A bank can examine whether application performance affects mortgage completion rates. These connections allow leaders to measure AI through business results rather than relying entirely on response times and infrastructure metrics. Reliable agents also need suitable data. Dynatrace says AI agents operating with deterministic data can work 12 times more accurately and three times faster while using two and a half times fewer tokens. These remain company findings, but they demonstrate why context and causality can affect cost as well as reliability. Fragmented telemetry creates another barrier. Logs may sit in one platform, front end monitoring in another, and metrics or traces somewhere else. Attempting to reconstruct every relationship for an AI agent can become expensive and difficult. Josh recommends bringing observability data into a connected environment where relationships between services, cloud resources, traces, metrics, and logs are already understood. He also warns against collecting information simply because it exists. Data hoarding increases ingestion costs and can introduce personal information into systems without a clear business need. The conversation then moves toward AI FinOps. Leaders want to know what agents cost, how many tokens they consume, and whether those costs produce a measurable return. Josh describes a Dynatrace proof of concept that identified potential annual savings just below £250,000 within one small environment. That example reinforces a recurring concern. Organizations are racing to place AI into production, then moving to the next project without reviewing whether the previous environment is appropriately sized or financially efficient. Josh hopes companies will develop a more pragmatic view of AI as another enterprise tool. That means establishing agreed methods for deployment, monitoring, cost management, incident response, and measuring business results. Could observability provide the confidence businesses need to move from isolated AI experiments toward autonomous operations? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

https://youtu.be/–TRke8F1qM Recorded July 26 and July 9, 2026 In Episode 161 of the PetroNerds Podcast, Trisha Curtis, CEO of PetroNerds and host of the PetroNerds Podcast, is joined by Stu Turley of Energy News Beat for a wide-ranging discussion on the intersection of energy markets, geopolitics, and national security. Key Takeaways Iran’s threats to the Strait of Hormuz highlight the importance of resilient global energy infrastructure. U.S. oil and natural gas production continue to provide America with a significant economic and geopolitical advantage. China’s investments in coal, synthetic fuels, and energy stockpiling underscore its long-term focus on energy security. Europe’s energy policies continue to challenge industrial competitiveness and grid reliability. Reliable, affordable energy remains the foundation of economic growth and national security. The conversation begins with escalating tensions involving Iran and the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz. Trisha and Stu examine attacks on energy infrastructure and shipping, discussing whether Iran’s actions reflect growing leverage or increasing desperation. They also explore how expanding export infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates is reducing dependence on one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints. The discussion then shifts to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and the contrasting energy strategies of the United States and China. While America remains the world’s leading producer of oil and natural gas—with crude production nearing 14 million barrels per day and natural gas output approaching 136 billion cubic feet per day—China continues investing heavily in energy stockpiles, coal-fired generation, and synthetic fuel production to strengthen its long-term energy resilience. Trisha explains why America’s energy abundance extends far beyond production. Refining capacity, pipeline infrastructure, LNG exports, petrochemicals, and manufacturing all contribute to a competitive advantage that supports economic growth while enhancing U.S. influence around the world. China’s approach provides a sharp contrast. The episode examines Beijing’s continued expansion of coal generation and coal-to-liquids projects as part of a broader strategy to reduce dependence on imported oil and prepare for future geopolitical disruptions. Rather than viewing these investments individually, Trisha and Stu discuss how they fit into China’s long-term planning for energy security. The conversation also explores Europe’s evolving energy landscape, including the consequences of reducing domestic coal, nuclear, and oil and gas production while increasing reliance on imported LNG. Trisha and Stu discuss how higher energy costs and declining industrial competitiveness complicate Europe’s efforts to expand defense spending and strengthen economic resilience. The episode concludes with a discussion on electricity markets, grid reliability, ESG and net-zero policies, American manufacturing, NATO, emerging trade relationships, and the growing strategic importance of LNG in global energy markets. The overarching theme is one that has become increasingly clear: energy security is national security. Countries that prioritize reliable, affordable, and scalable energy systems will be better positioned to support economic growth, strengthen national defense, and maintain geopolitical influence in an increasingly competitive world.

Alan Philps tells of Nadia, a translator at the Metropol Hotel who became a "secret dissident" after losing faith in Stalinism during the purges. She trusted Australian journalist Godfrey Blunden, believing him to be more reliable than "snobbish" British or career-driven American reporters. She shared her true, dangerous views with him and even took him to visit private Soviet homes, which was strictly forbidden. However, Blunden betrayed her by publishing a novel that thinly disguised her identity and the locations she had shown him. This led to Nadia's arrest in 1948 and an eight-year sentence in the Gulag, where she faced starvation. Her husband and daughter were also broken by the system. Nadia eventually survived, moving to Israel in the 1970s. Philps notes that her grandson is now a professor in Jerusalem, offering a rare "happy ending" amidst the broader tragedy of Soviet brutality. (3)1906

Why AI Agents Fail in Production: TrueFoundry CEO on Building Reliable AI Systems

Why do AI agents and applications look impressive in demos but struggle when companies try to deploy them in production? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Nikunj Bajaj, co-founder and CEO of TrueFoundry, about why enterprise AI has become a systems problem, what companies need to move AI from proof of concept to production, and how better infrastructure can improve reliability, governance, security, observability, and cost control. Before founding TrueFoundry, Nikunj worked at Meta on conversational AI systems serving more than a billion users and contributed to the company's internal machine learning platforms. He explains how developers at Meta could concentrate on solving business problems while infrastructure handled logging, monitoring, deployment, and governance by default. In many enterprises, the same journey from an AI idea to a production application can still take weeks or months. Nikunj argues that increasingly capable AI models are not necessarily the biggest barrier to enterprise adoption. The harder challenge is building reliable systems around them. Companies need to know what happens when a model becomes unavailable, how an agent is behaving, which data it can access, how much it is costing, when a human should intervene, and whether there is a kill switch when something goes wrong. We discuss why AI proofs of concept often fail when exposed to real users. Controlled demonstrations rarely reproduce production conditions such as unexpected prompts, malicious actors, heavy workloads, model outages, latency, and dependencies between multiple components. Even when individual parts of a system perform reliably, combining them can create failure rates that businesses cannot accept for mission-critical workflows. The conversation also examines the infrastructure required as companies introduce multiple AI models and agents. Nikunj explains the roles of model gateways, MCP gateways, and agent gateways, and how bringing these components together through an AI gateway can give enterprises a control plane for observing and governing AI traffic. Cost is another major challenge. Nikunj explains why sending every request to the most powerful model can waste significant amounts of money when smaller or cheaper models could produce comparable results for simpler tasks. Intelligent model routing can help companies balance quality, latency, availability, and price. He shares how organizations using this approach have reduced model costs by as much as 75 to 80 percent in some production environments. We also discuss what reliable multi-agent systems require in practice. Companies need clearly defined boundaries for what agents can do, escalation routes to other agents or people, safeguards against infinite agent loops, and complete audit trails of interactions and decisions. For CIOs, CTOs, AI engineering teams, platform leaders, and companies trying to move generative AI and agentic AI into production, this conversation provides a practical guide to the infrastructure decisions that determine whether AI applications remain impressive prototypes or become reliable business systems. The next stage of enterprise AI will not be defined by models alone. Companies that can connect, observe, govern, secure, and control their AI applications while managing costs will be better positioned to turn experimentation into dependable production systems.
