In the summer of 1998, eighty-two-year-old New York socialite Irene Silverman disappeared from her Manhattan townhouse without a trace. Silverman's friends were immediately concerned, as it was completely out of character for Irene to leave town without telling anyone. Coincidentally, on the same day Irene Silverman disappeared, authorities in New York arrested Sante Kimes and her son, Kenny, on a charge of check fraud. Unbeknownst to investigators, these two events were directly linked.In the wake of the arrest of Kimes and her son, investigators discovered a number of links between the mother and son con artists and Irene Silverman that would not only lead to the discovery of Silverman's body, but also to a years' long crime spree that included everything from check fraud and impersonation to arson and murder. In the annals of American crime, it's rare to find a series of violent crimes committed by a woman. And among those women, it is rarer still to find one so brutal, cunning, and manipulative as Sante Kimes.ReferencesAssociated Press. 1985. "Couple charged with slavery."

As miners approach historical stress zones, Bitcoin's correlation with tech stocks is hitting at the worst possible moment. Enter AI. Thank you to our sponsor Crypto Tax Girl! Public mining companies are once again approaching breakeven territory, a zone that in prior cycles preceded forced selling and capitulation. But unlike past downturns, balance sheets today are cleaner, leverage is lower, and many operators are pivoting toward AI data center hosting as a structural offramp. At the same time, Bitcoin has been trading alongside frontier technology stocks. That correlation is resurfacing at precisely the wrong moment, as growth equities face renewed pressure. If growth portfolios were the marginal buyers during the rally, they may now be the marginal sellers. In this episode, Steven Ehrlich speaks first with John Todaro about miner economics, hash rate dynamics, and whether another round of selling could emerge if Bitcoin remains near breakeven levels. Then Zach Pandl joins to examine Bitcoin's correlation with tech stocks, the mechanics behind recent gold volatility, and why the next phase for crypto may be driven by differentiation rather than broad beta.

When you repeat them consistently, they gently shift your inner dialogue from doubt, fear, or self-criticism toward confidence, trust, and possibility. Over time, this new way of thinking influences how you feel, the choices you make, and how you show up in the world.Why do affirmations work?Affirmations work because your mind believes what you repeatedly tell it—especially when those words are spoken calmly and with presence. When you replace habitual negative thoughts with supportive ones, you reduce mental resistance and emotional stress. This creates a more relaxed, receptive state where clarity, motivation, and positive action can naturally arise.The science behind affirmationsFrom a scientific perspective, affirmations are linked to neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to rewire itself based on repeated thoughts and experiences. Research in psychology and neuroscience shows that intentional self-talk can strengthen neural pathways associated with confidence, resilience, and emotional regulation. In simple terms, what you consistently focus on and repeat helps shape how your brain responds to life—making affirmations a powerful tool for long-term mindset change.Words and music by Bob Baker (c) 2026.All of my recordings appear first on YouTube.

It's more than a decade since Nadiya Hussain became a household name after winning the Great British Bake Off. Since then, she's fronted her own cookery shows, written more than a dozen cookbooks and a series of children's books. Her latest collection of recipes is called Quick Comforts, and Nadiya joins presenter Clare McDonnell to talk about finding comfort in food, her career so far and lots more.A series of stories in The Guardian this week are spotlighting the role that domestic abuse plays in suicides - they say the number of women's suicides that are being are linked to domestic abuse is being severely underreported in police statistics. Figures from the National Police Chiefs Council's Domestic Homicide Project have shown for the last two years that there were more victims of domestic abuse who took their own lives in England and Wales than were killed by their partner. Research by a suicide prevention programme in Kent led by Tim Woodhouse is suggesting the figures could be much higher.

Today's conversation is a deeply personal look at what it means to be diagnosed with breast cancer at just 30 years old. We often hear the statistics that more young women are being diagnosed, but numbers can't capture the shock of finding a lump before you think you're even old enough to worry… or the life-altering shift that happens when you are put into medically induced menopause. Caroline McNally knows the struggles of being in the thick of treatment and the isolation of being diagnosed younger than most. But she also knows about strength, hope and learning how to advocate for herself and others.

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits Season 15's foundation with Dr. Bruce Perry to explore how safety, regulation, and patterned experience shape the brain's capacity to learn and create. We examine why potential must be activated through repetition, rhythm, and low-threat environments, and how trauma, stress, or dysregulation block learning. Takeaways include practical steps for educators, parents, and leaders: prioritize nervous-system safety before instruction, use micro-repetition to build skills, and employ storytelling to make scientific ideas stick. This episode anchors Phase 1 of the season: regulation, rhythm, repetition, and relational safety as the prerequisites for sustainable performance and lasting change. This week, Episode 385—based on our review of Episode 168 recorded in October 2021—we explore: ✔ 1. Genetic Potential vs. Developed Capacity We are born with extraordinary biological potential. But experience determines which neural systems become functional. The brain builds what it repeatedly uses. ✔ 2. The Brain Is Use-Dependent Language, emotional regulation, leadership skills, motor precision— all are wired through patterned, rhythmic repetition. ✔ 3. Trauma, Regulation & Learning A dysregulated nervous system cannot efficiently learn. Safety, rhythm, and relational connection come before strategy. ✔ 4. “What Happened to You?” vs. “What's Wrong with You?” Shifting from judgment to curiosity changes how we approach: Children Students Teams Ourselves ✔ 5. Early Experience Shapes Long-Term Expression Developmental inputs—especially patterned, early ones— determine which capacities are strengthened. ✔ 6. Repetition Builds Confidence Confidence is not a personality trait. It is neural circuitry built through structured repetition in safe environments. ✔ 7. Story Makes Science Stick From Dr. Perry's experience writing with Oprah: You can't tell everybody everything you know. Impact comes from: One core idea Wrapped in story Delivered with restraint ✔ 8. Information Overload Weakens Learning Depth > Volume Clarity > Density Retention > Impressive Data ✔ 9. Regulation Comes Before Motivation Before goals. Before performance. Before achievement. The nervous system must feel safe. ✔ 10. Season 15's Foundational Question Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and here we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience—so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. When we launched this podcast seven years ago, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask— not in school, not in business, and not in life: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make these results happen? Most of us were taught what to do. Very few of us were taught how to think under pressure, how to regulate emotion, how to sustain motivation, or even how to produce consistent results without burning out. That question led me into a deep exploration of the mind–brain–results connection—and how neuroscience applies to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, we bring you leading experts to break down complex science and translate it into practical strategies you can apply immediately. If you've been with us through Season 14, you may have felt something shift. That season wasn't about collecting ideas. It was about integrating these ideas into our daily life, as we launched our review of past episodes. Across conversations on neuroscience, social and emotional learning, sleep, stress, exercise, nutrition, and mindset frameworks—we heard from voices like Bob Proctor, José Silva, Dr. Church, Dr. John Medina, and others—one thing became clear: These aren't separate tools that we are covering in each episode. They're parts of one operating system. When the brain, body, and emotions are aligned, performance stops feeling forced—and starts to feel sustainable. Season 14 showed us what alignment looks like in real life. We looked at goals and mental direction, rewiring the brain, future-ready learning and leadership, self-leadership, which ALL led us to inner alignment. And now we move into Season 15 that is about understanding how that alignment is built—so we can build it ourselves, using predictable, science-backed principles. Because alignment doesn't happen all at once. It happens by using a sequence. And when we understand the order of that sequence — we can replicate it. By repeating this sequence over and over again, until magically (or predictably) we notice our results have changed. So Season 15 we've organized as a review roadmap, where each episode explores one foundational brain system—and each phase builds on the one before it. Season 15 Roadmap: Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Phase 3 — Movement, Learning & Cognition Phase 4 — Perception, Emotion & Social Intelligence Phase 5 — Integration, Insight & Meaning PHASE 1: REGULATION & SAFETY Staples: Sleep + Stress Regulation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Anchor Episodes Episode 384 — Baland Jalal How learning begins: curiosity, sleep, imagination, creativity Bruce Perry “What happened to you?” — trauma, rhythm, relational safety Sui Wong Autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine, brain resilience Rohan Dixit HRV, real-time self-regulation, nervous system literacy Last week we began with Phase One: Regulation and Safety as we revisited Dr. Baland Jalal's interview from June 2022. EP 384 — Dr. Baland Jalal[i] Dr. Baland Jalal This episode sits at the foundation of Season 15. Dr. Baland Jalal is a Harvard neuroscientist whose work explores how sleep, imagination, and curiosity shape the brain's capacity to learn and create. What stood out to me then — and even more now — is that learning doesn't begin with effort. It begins when the brain is rested, regulated, and free to explore possibility. This conversation reminds us that creativity isn't added later — it's built into the brain when conditions are right. It's here we remember that before learning can happen, before curiosity can emerge, before motivation or growth is possible— the brain must feel safe. And what better place to begin with safety and the brain, than with Dr. Bruce Perry, who we met October of 2021 on EP 168.[ii] EP 385 — Dr. Bruce Perry Dr. Bruce Perry (Episode 168 – October 2021) Dr. Bruce Perry, Senior Fellow of the Child Trauma Academy in Houston, Texas, and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, joined the podcast to help us better understand how traumatic experiences shape the developing brain. At the time, I was deeply concerned about the generational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In one of Dr. Perry's trainings, he referenced research conducted after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which showed that families exposed to prolonged stress experienced increased rates of substance abuse — not only in those directly affected, but in the next generation as well. As I began hearing reports of rising depression, anxiety, and substance use during the pandemic, I wondered: What could we do now to reduce the long-term neurological and emotional impact on our children, our schools, and future generations? Dr. Perry agreed to come on the show to share insights from his work and to discuss his book, co-authored with Oprah Winfrey: What Happened to You: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience and Healing.[iii] Dr. Bruce Perry challenges one of the most common questions we ask in education, leadership, and parenting. Instead of asking, “What's wrong with you?” he asks, “What happened to you?” In this conversation, we explored how early experiences shape the brain, how trauma disrupts regulation, and why healing begins with rhythm, safety, and connection. You can find a link to our full interview in the resource section in the show notes. This episode anchors Season 15 by reminding us: a dysregulated brain cannot learn — no matter how good the strategy. Let's go to our first clip with Dr. Bruce Perry, and look deeper at how we are all born with potential, but our experience builds the rest.

Garrett shares his background as a college hockey player and physics major whose injuries and frustration with traditional PT led him to functional neurology, direct current stimulation, and ultimately creating NEUBIE after years of clinical work in Austin and graduate study in neuroscience. They discuss NEUBIE's "mapping" process to identify guarding, excess tension, inhibition, and hypersensitivity patterns, and how direct current can accelerate neuromuscular reeducation to quickly change function—highlighting examples like improved shoulder range of motion in a single session and the "master reset" vagus nerve stimulation-style protocol for recovery. Garrett explains New Fit's growth to 400–500 U.S. clinics plus international distributors, mentions exposure through athletes like Saquon Barkley and discussions on Joe Rogan's podcast, and outlines research including a 150-patient diabetic peripheral neuropathy study comparing TENS (AC) to NEUBIE (DC), showing significant improvements in pain, sensation, ADLs, EMG amplitude, and nerve conduction velocity with direct current. For gym owners and performance facilities—especially those serving older populations—Garrett covers applications for loading muscles with less joint strain, references bodybuilding use (including Dexter Jackson's reported leg improvements leading to a 4th-place Mr. Olympia finish at age 50), and cites University of South Florida studies showing similar acute responses and 8-week muscle growth compared to traditional resistance training.

Many expecting mothers skip past information about postpartum mood changes, assuming it won't apply to them. Especially when they're anticipating one of life's happiest moments and have no history of depression. But baby blues and postpartum depression are common complications of birth that deserve attention during pregnancy, not after symptoms appear. The statistics are striking: baby blues affect 50-80% of new mothers, while one in seven experiences postpartum depression. Research also shows postpartum depression rates have been climbing over recent decades, making this information more relevant than ever. This episode covers how to identify symptoms of baby blues versus postpartum depression, where and how to get help, and evidence-based strategies you can use to protect your mental health during the postpartum period. Whether you have a history of depression or not, understanding these conditions empowers you to recognize warning signs early and take action when it matters most.

What if patient access isn't just an operational problem—but a shared organizational belief system?In this episode of All Access Pass, host Chris Profeta, Senior Director of Research and Analytics at the Patient Access Collaborative, sits down with Austin Loomis, AVP of Ambulatory Access and Analytics, Mandy Newman, MAAL, Vice President of Ambulatory Operations, and Catherin Mims, MD, Vice President and Associate Chief Physician Executive for the Ambulatory Practice at OU Health. Together, they unpack a new evolution of the Patient Access Framework: a group-based assessment that captures how access is perceived across an entire organization.With more than 20 leaders—from finance and HR to physician chairs and executive leadership—participating in the assessment, OU Health gained a rare, enterprise-wide view of access. The conversation explores what happens when those perspectives align, where they diverge, and why those gaps often represent the greatest opportunities for system improvement. Along the way, the group reflects on why access blind spots persist, how shared language changes strategy, and what it means to truly measure access as an enterprise responsibility.Tune in to hear how group assessments can surface hidden friction, strengthen cross-departmental alignment, and turn access from a siloed function into a shared organizational priority—covering the evolution of the Patient Access Framework, the rationale behind group scoring, leadership alignment, organizational blind spots, and practical insights for system-level access improvement.Woodcock, E., Profeta, C.

You've probably heard that pensions are dying, but have you ever wondered why they were so effective in the first place? Research shows that traditional defined benefit pensions deliver the same retirement income at 49% less cost than typical 401(k) plans. Even the most efficient 401(k) plans still require 27% more funding to match pension benefits. The difference comes down to three main factors: lower investment costs, access to institutional-grade investments, and longevity risk pooling. Large pension funds pay just 25-41 (.25-.41%) basis points for professional management compared to 130+ basis points( 1.30%) in many 401(k) plans. Some 401(k) fees are so high they completely eliminate the tax benefits for younger workers. Insurance companies operate on the same principles as pension funds, managing trillions in assets with access to private placement bonds that yield 25-45 basis points more than public bonds. You can't buy these investments individually, no matter how much money you have. The insurance industry holds over 90% of all privately issued debt in the United States. This scale advantage directly impacts products like annuities and whole life insurance. When you buy a lifetime income annuity, you join a risk pool of hundreds of thousands of people. The insurance company only needs to fund the average outcome across the pool, not your individual maximum lifespan. The numbers are striking: a 65-year-old funding $15,000 per year of income needs $278,000 in Treasury bonds but only $202,000 with an annuity. That's a $76,000 difference from mortality credits alone. We walk through the research showing how institutional investors achieve results that retail investors simply cannot replicate on their own. ______________________________ Have questions about how these concepts apply to your retirement planning?

You've done it a hundred times. You're sitting at your desk, everything's fine, and then your hand is reaching for the snacks before you even realize something's wrong. The stress doesn't hit for another ten minutes. But your body is already eating.And later that night, you blame yourself. You call it weakness. You promise tomorrow will be different.In this episode, Rick breaks down the three specific brain hijacks that fire before your conscious mind gets a vote, why willpower never stood a chance against them, and how to rewire each one. This is the science the diet industry will never tell you, because it would put them out of business.Key points discussed:Your amygdala processes stress through a "low road" that bypasses conscious awareness entirely, triggering cravings and food-seeking behavior before your thinking brain even knows something is wrong.Cortisol accumulates over hours, sometimes based on nothing more than your brain's prediction that today will be stressful. By the time you feel it, the cravings are already locked in.Roughly 43% of daily behavior is habitual. Your stress-eating loops were built from years of pairing food with emotional relief, and they execute without your permission.Willpower lives in the prefrontal cortex. These three hijacks operate underneath it, faster than it, and earlier than it. You were never losing a discipline battle.

Scott Marlowe is a researcher whose work connects the study of cryptozoology—the investigation of unknown or legendary creatures—with cryptography, the analysis of hidden codes and symbolic systems. Marlowe explores how folklore, eyewitness reports, historical documents, and encoded references may contain overlooked clues about mysterious creatures and unexplained phenomena. By blending pattern analysis, symbolic interpretation, and field research, his approach suggests that both biological mysteries and hidden information systems may require similar investigative methods rooted in decoding evidence and contextual meaning.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Today we have Ziv Mador, VP of Security Research from LevelBlue SpiderLabs discussing their work on "SpiderLabs IDs New Banking Trojan Distributed Through WhatsApp." Researchers at LevelBlue SpiderLabs have identified a new Brazilian banking Trojan dubbed Eternidade Stealer, spread through WhatsApp hijacking and social engineering campaigns that use a Python-based worm to steal contacts and distribute malicious MSI installers. The Delphi-compiled malware targets Brazilian victims, profiles infected systems, dynamically retrieves its command-and-control server via IMAP email, and deploys banking overlays to harvest credentials from financial institutions and cryptocurrency platforms. The campaign reflects the continued evolution of Brazil's cybercrime ecosystem, combining WhatsApp propagation, geofencing, encrypted C2 communications, and process injection to maintain stealth and persistence.

Send a textHow much oxygen is enough when resuscitating extremely preterm infants? This week on The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna explore the TORPIDO 30/60 trial comparing 60% versus 30% FiO2 at birth. While primary outcomes were similar, babies in the 60% group needed fewer chest compressions and less epinephrine—a signal worth discussing.They examine an Indian non-inferiority study on surfactant thresholds (40% vs 30% FiO2), where waiting until 40% meant significantly fewer intubations and shorter respiratory support for the youngest babies. Ben presents compelling Melbourne data showing growth-restricted preterm infants face six-fold higher NEC risk—even with identical feeding protocols—and discusses how critical birth history gets "lost" as babies grow.Daphna tackles therapeutic hypothermia in late preterm infants, reviewing Toronto's retrospective analysis showing 34-35 weekers experience higher mortality and more brain injury compared to 36-37 weekers. As units rewrite cooling protocols, are we moving too fast on limited evidence?The episode concludes with Ben, Daphna, and Eli discussing the repeal of "sensitive locations" protections for immigration enforcement.

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Matt Sabatello sits down with Yuri Kim, the lead clinical research nurse for MIT's MAESTRO study, described as one of the largest studies in MIT history focused on Lyme disease and Infection-Associated Chronic Illnesses (IACI). Yuri explains how MAESTRO is collecting deep symptom histories and objective measurements—from eye tracking and EEG/P300 auditory testing to NASA Lean dysautonomia testing, capillaroscopy, and multi-sample biological collection—to identify patterns that validate patient experiences and accelerate real-world clinical understanding. Yuri's story is equally compelling: she began as an ER nurse in a Level 1 trauma center, transitioned into research nursing (including neurodegenerative and traumatic brain injury work), moved to South Korea during the pandemic, and ultimately joined MIT after a conversation with Dr. Mikki Tal changed the course of her career. Throughout the conversation, Yuri shares what she's learned from MAESTRO participants: a community often exhausted and dismissed, yet profoundly motivated to help others and drive scientific progress forward. Key Takeaways (Fast Scan) MAESTRO is nearing ~200 participants enrolled, with the chronic Lyme cohort full and enrollment closing soon. The study aims to objectively measure symptoms often dismissed as “anxiety” or “depression,” especially brain fog and dysautonomia. MAESTRO uses multiple cognitive and neurologic measures, including RightEye eye tracking, EEG + P300 auditory “oddball” testing, and remote cognitive battery tests. The team added capillaroscopy (nailfold and toe microvascular imaging) to explore vascular patterns and hemorrhages in chronic illness cohorts. Dysautonomia testing includes NASA Lean Test plus an earpiece device to estimate proxy cerebral blood flow, sometimes showing abnormalities even when vitals look “normal.” Extensive biological sampling (oral, blood, vaginal/rectal) supports proteomics/immune profiling and deeper molecular analysis. Yuri emphasizes: patients' willingness to participate—despite severe symptoms—is the engine of progress and future change. Detailed Chapter-by-Chapter Show Notes 1) Meet Yuri Kim: The Human Side of Cutting-Edge Lyme Research Matt introduces Yuri as the clinical research nurse leading day-to-day operations of MIT's MAESTRO study—positioning her as a rare bridge between lab science, clinicians, and patients. Yuri shares that the study is approaching enrollment completion and that the team is eager to analyze a large dataset to “speak up” for participants who have suffered without clear explanations. Highlights: MAESTRO is one of MIT's largest studies, with enrollment nearing completion. The mission is to transform patient suffering into measurable signals, data, and insight. 2) Yuri's Background: Pharma, ER Nursing, Research, and Why This Work Became Personal Yuri explains her path: early work as a medical information specialist in pharma (including literature searches and clinician guidance, often involving off-label questions), then an intense period as a Level 1 ER nurse where she witnessed both acute crises and chronic illness desperation. Key insight:Yuri notes that in pharma and ER settings, she repeatedly saw the same reality—patients searching for answers, clinicians constrained by time, and chronic illness voices falling through the cracks. 3) From the ER to Neuro Research: Brain Inflammation, TBI, and the Gap in Chronic Illness Care Yuri left ER work largely due to the physical toll of night shifts and moved into academic research at Boston University. She worked on complex studies involving Alzheimer's, amyloidosis, and traumatic brain injury. Matt asks whether Lyme came up in those neuro settings. Yuri says no—but now she views neurodegenerative symptoms differently and believes clinicians should consider underlying root causes, including infection. Listener connection:This segment reinforces how often Lyme-related cognitive decline can be misinterpreted or missed when viewed through siloed specialties. 4) Lyme Awareness Outside the U.S.: South Korea, Tick-Borne Illness, and Global Blind Spots During the pandemic, Yuri relocated to South Korea. She shares that Lyme isn't commonly discussed there, though other tick-borne illnesses exist. Yuri underscores a global concern: agricultural and rural communities face tick exposure without awareness of the chronic implications. 5) How Yuri Joined Dr. Mikki Tal and MAESTRO (And Why She Changed Her Mind) One of the most memorable segments: Yuri reveals she had already accepted another MIT nursing role—but after speaking with Dr. Tal, she pivoted immediately, calling it the best career decision she's ever made. Why it matters: It shows how MAESTRO is not just a study; it's a mission-driven effort that attracts top clinical talent. 6) Day One at MAESTRO: Meeting the Severely Ill and the Community's Unmatched Generosity Yuri recounts a powerful early experience: meeting a participant who was bedbound and profoundly symptomatic, yet eager to contribute anything possible to help the community. Matt connects this to Tick Boot Camp's origin story: people with minimal energy still showed up to help others. The theme becomes clear—Lyme patients are often depleted but relentlessly generous. What MAESTRO Measures (The Four-Hour Visit Breakdown) 7) Brain Fog: Why MAESTRO Treats It as a Complex Phenomenon Yuri explains MAESTRO's approach: brain fog isn't one symptom. It can involve memory, processing speed, visual stimulation sensitivity, pain-triggered cognition changes, and motor response delays. Core idea: MAESTRO attempts to measure brain fog from multiple angles—visual processing, auditory processing, reaction time, and executive function. 8) RightEye Eye Tracking: Visual Stimulus + Reaction Time as Objective Signal Participants complete a structured set of ocular motor tasks (pursuit, saccades) and reaction-time games (shape recognition mapped to numbered inputs). Yuri notes many chronic illness participants struggle even with basic saccades, often aligning with reported visual disturbances. What MAESTRO is measuring: Ocular motor control Visual processing Decision speed Reaction time consistency 9) EEG + P300 “Oddball” Test: Auditory Processing Meets Motor Output Participants wear an EEG cap (19 regions) and listen to tones: common low-pitch and rare high-pitch. They must press the spacebar only for the rare tone. Yuri notes that even a 4-minute test can be exhausting for people with cognitive dysfunction, and participants often describe a frustrating “delay” between knowing what to do and physically doing it. Why this matters: This may help validate cognitive dysfunction even when standard office screening looks normal. 10) Remote Cognitive Battery Testing: Scaling Measurement Beyond MIT Participants complete executive function tests at home (memory, Stroop-like color-word matching, trail-making tasks). Yuri emphasizes why this matters: many patients can't travel, and symptoms vary dramatically by day, cycle, and crash patterns. Big future direction: Remote testing could expand access to bedbound patients and capture “good day vs bad day” variability. 11) Dysautonomia & POTS: NASA Lean Test + Proxy Cerebral Blood Flow Yuri details NASA Lean testing: supine rest, then standing/leaning while monitoring vitals and symptoms. The standout: sometimes vitals appear stable while patients feel intensely symptomatic—yet the cerebral blood flow proxy measurement fluctuates significantly. Clinical implication discussed: This approach could become a tool for identifying dysautonomia-related issues when standard vitals “look fine.” 12) Capillaroscopy: Nailfold + Toe Microvascular Imaging MAESTRO added capillaroscopy to examine microvascular patterns, including abnormal shapes and possible hemorrhages seen more frequently in chronic cohorts (as her clinical observations suggest). They also measure capillaries pre- and post-NASA Lean to explore whether symptomatic shifts correlate with microvascular changes. Why patients find it meaningful: They can visually see something measurable that aligns with how they feel. 13) Standard Neuro Screening Doesn't Capture Lyme Brain Fog Yuri shares a crucial point: participants often perform fine on standard screens like the Mini-Mental State Exam, suggesting that infection-associated cognitive dysfunction can be subtle, dynamic, and not detected by traditional tools—reinforcing the need for MAESTRO-style measurement. Biological Samples: “Measure Everything” (Head to Toe) 14) Multi-Sample Collection: Oral, Blood, Vaginal, Rectal Yuri explains the breadth of biological sampling, including saliva/oral samples (cotton chew + gum swab), multiple blood tubes, and sex-specific sampling to explore immune, hormonal, microbiome, and gynecologic dimensions. Why it's being done: To connect symptom clusters to molecular patterns and explore sex differences in chronic illness response. 15) Storage, Batch Effects, and What Happens After Enrollment Closes Samples are aliquoted and stored at -80°C until they can be processed/shipped in ways that minimize batch effects. The next phase is analysis and collaboration—including proteomics and immune signaling exploration. 16) Giving Back to Participants: The Challenge and the Intention Yuri acknowledges the “fine line” between research-only testing and clinically actionable reporting, but stresses MIT's intention to return what can be responsibly shared through certified partners—while being careful not to over-interpret research findings. Collaboration, Scaling, and What Comes Next 17) Collaboration Across Institutions: The Missing Platform Matt compares Lyme research needs to cybersecurity threat-sharing between banks: competitors collaborate because the threat is bigger than any one organization. Yuri agrees and highlights the need for secure data-sharing platforms—similar to large national efforts in other fields. 18) What's Next: Focus on Female Brain Fog, Hormones, and Remote Studies Yuri previews upcoming directions: Brain fog and hormone cycle relationships Differentiating infection-associated cognitive dysfunction vs menopause-related brain fog Remote/at-home measurement studies to reach more symptomatic and bedbound patients Potential collaborations with pediatric and neuroimmune experts Closing Message: Hope Without Hype Yuri's message to patients and families is simple and emotional: “Please don't give up.” She believes answers are coming because serious teams are working together—and because patients are driving the research forward with their participation.

Episode Summary: Since the end of the Cold War, Air Force resource shortfalls have hit the fighter inventory hard. Want proof? The Air Force was supposed to procure 750 F-22s, but only got 187. The F-35 inventory was supposed to be double what we currently field on flightlines. Added to that, the service continually cut the legacy inventory of F-15s, F-16s, and A-10s …but COCOM demand never slowed down. Fewer tails carry more sortie demand, which is a recipe for burnout. It's time for a course correction. Many voices who have helped carry this message, but few are as important as the Air National Guard. We explore this crucial topic with Brig. Gen. Shannon “Sinjin” Smith, Commander of the Idaho Air National Guard.

This week we're returning to one of the most contentious subjects in Parkinson's world: what causes the condition? Research has increasingly focused on the role of pesticides – particularly one called Paraquat – which are routinely used in agriculture yet are severely toxic to humans. Could investigations into the role of Paraquat prove a connection to PD? And, if so, does that mean that we could, eventually, arrest the spread of the illness? To discuss this subject, the Movers and Shakers are joined in the pub by a filmmaker, Sarah Teale, who has been working with international experts on a new film that tries to unravel this link.Movers & Shakers is brought to you by Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Sound mixing by Ewan Cameron.Music by Alex Stobbs.

Every enterprise is building an AI stack, but most are doing it wrong. In this episode, Ross breaks down a tactical, use-case-driven framework for building an AI stack that actually works. If you're a marketer, operator, or executive looking to leverage AI strategically (without blowing your budget or ignoring compliance), this episode gives you the structure you need to win. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The Hard Truth About Enterprise AI - Most companies choose AI tools based on hype, not strategy. - Vendor pitches and social buzz are driving long-term contracts. - Locking into the wrong platform can create scaling and security nightmares. - The AI landscape changes weekly, three-year commitments require serious thought. 2. There Is No “Best” AI Tool - The right question isn't “What's best?” but “What's best for this use case?” - Different teams (marketing, engineering, finance) need different tools. - Constraints, industry, and goals should guide tool selection. - Build a stack…Don't look for a silver bullet. 3.  The 5-Layer AI Stack Framework - Layer 1: Writing & Communication Tools - Layer 2: Research & Analysis - Layer 3: Code & Technical Execution - Layer 4: Automations & Workflow Integration - Layer 5: Security & Compliance 4. Training, Ownership & Continuous Improvement - AI adoption fails without real, ongoing training. - Appoint an AI stack owner responsible for optimization and updates. - Create internal systems (e.g., Slack channels) to share prompts and workflows. - Capture institutional knowledge so it doesn't leave with one employee. 5. Start Small, But Start Strategic - Don't wait for “the perfect moment.” AI is already reshaping competition. - Experiment but build security and compliance from day one. - Budget realistically for training, tools, and maintenance. - Strategic AI adoption is a long-term competitive advantage.

In this conversation, we use subscription services we all rely on to explain a powerful investing concept: pricing power. We'll break down why some companies can raise prices without losing customers, what that tells us about their business models, and why pricing power matters when evaluating long-term investments—especially in an inflation-conscious world.Big Tech is opening the checkbook for AI. Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft are on track to spend nearly $650 billion in 2026 alone, even if it means taking a hit to free cash flow today. We'll unpack why this spending surge is happening, where the money is going, and what it could mean for earnings, valuations, and investors navigating the AI boom. In this week's Market Segment, we break down sector performance across the S&P 500 amid heightened volatility in software stocks, driven largely by renewed concerns over AI's disruptive impact. We also zoom out to examine how AI is influencing industries more broadly, and what a healthy market rebalance across sectors could signal for investors. Plus, we discuss the growing gap between consumer sentiment and actual economic activity and take a closer look at January's employment data to see what it may mean for the path ahead.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----In this episode, I'm joined by Jaime Sevilla, founder of Epoch AI; Hannah Petrovic from my team at Exponential View; and financial journalist Matt Robinson from AI Street. Together we investigate a fundamental question: do the economics of AI companies actually work? We analysed OpenAI's financials from public data to examine whether their revenues can sustain the staggering R&D costs of frontier models. The findings reveal a picture far more precarious than many assume; we also explore where the real infrastructure bottlenecks lie, why compute demand will dwarf energy constraints, and what the rise of long-running agentic workloads means for the entire industry. Read the study here: https://www.exponentialview.co/p/inside-openais-unit-economics-epoch-exponentialviewWe covered: (00:00) Do the economics of frontier AI actually work? (02:48) Piecing together OpenAI's finances from public data (05:24) GPT-5's "rapidly depreciating asset" problem (13:25) Why OpenAI is flirting with ads (17:31) If you were Sam Altman, what would you do differently? (22:54) Energy vs. GPUs; where the real infrastructure bottleneck lies (29:15) What surging compute demand actually looks like (33:12) The most surprising finding from the research (38:02) The race to avoid commoditization (43:35) Agents that outlive their models  Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem  Where to find Jamie: https://epoch.ai or https://epochai.substack.com Where to find Matt: https://www.ai-street.co  Production by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Chantal Smith and Marija Gavrilov.

In this episode, Brian welcomes friend of the show Ken Gerhard—renowned cryptozoologist, bestselling author, field researcher, television personality, public speaker, and now host of his own podcast.Ken shares how his childhood fascination with Bigfoot—sparked by firsthand experiences and a steady diet of classic monster movies—set him on a lifelong path into the world of cryptozoology. From Texas to Loch Ness and beyond, he reflects on decades of global expeditions, investigations, and firsthand encounters with some of the world's most enduring cryptid legends.The conversation dives deep into the intersection of science and folklore, exploring the cultural roots of mysterious creatures alongside the biological possibilities that keep researchers searching. Brian and Ken discuss the skepticism that surrounds the field, the importance of disciplined, objective inquiry, and how emerging tools like environmental DNA (eDNA) and artificial intelligence are reshaping modern Bigfoot research.Ken also weighs in on the ultimate question: What would actually happen if Sasquatch were proven real? From conservation concerns to media frenzy and scientific upheaval, the implications could be far-reaching.The episode wraps with Ken discussing his latest projects, including his new podcast Cryptid Legacy, recent books, speaking appearances, and an upcoming guided expedition to search for the legendary Loch Ness Monster.Visit Ken's WebsiteCheck Out Cryptid Legacy Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

(Part 3 of 3) On the morning of February 8, 1983, a plumber working in London's Muswell Hill neighbor opened a drainage cover behind a Cranley Gardens apartment building and made a horrific discovery—the drain was blocked by pieces of bone and human tissue. Upon investigation, detectives traced the blockage back to one apartment in the building, where additional evidence suggested things were far worse than they'd initially thought.When the occupant of the apartment, Dennis Nilsen, was confronted with the human remains, he began telling investigators a shocking story and when he was finished, Nilsen had confessed to murdering and dismembering at fifteen men over the course of five years. In the annals of British crime, Dennis Nilsen ranks among the worst serial killers the country has ever seen, not only because of the number of people he killed, but also the method of disposal and the motive.  Mentioned in the EpisodeRead Jay Manuel's Fictional book inspired by ANTM The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown ReferencesBarlass, Tim, and Robert Mendick. 2006.
