As the federal government races to adopt AI, many agencies are looking to buy and build the same exact solutions. Recognizing this, the General Services Administration earlier this year launched USAi, a platform that offers agencies access to leading commercial AI models that they can deploy in a streamlined manner, eliminating redundancy across government and leading to greater efficiencies at scale. Zach Whitman, chief data scientist and chief AI officer for the GSA, recently joined me for a discussion at the Agentic AI Government Summit and Jamfest in Washington, D.C., to highlight the USAi effort, how it's progressing, the challenges GSA faces and what's next. The Department of Health and Human Services has tapped DOGE affiliate Zachary Terrell to be its chief technology officer, sources told FedScoop. Terrell's CTO title was confirmed by three officials, who were granted anonymity to be more candid. Taking on the role of CTO comes after his involvement in Department of Government Efficiency work at both HHS and the National Science Foundation, including the cancellation of grants at the science agency. One of those sources told FedScoop that Terrell has been in the technology chief role since the beginning of this month and is still at the NSF as well. While his leadership role is new, Terrell has previously been involved in work at HHS, including as a member of the department's DOGE team, according to a recent legal filing by the government. Per that document, Terrell was listed as one of the 10 team members given access to at least one sensitive system as part of the DOGE work. Specifically, Terrell was one of five team members who weren't directly employed by the U.S. DOGE Service — the White House home for the group. Congress is poised to make yet another run at legislation to reform agency software purchasing practices, with the reintroduction in the House last week of the Strengthening Agency Management and Oversight of Software Assets Act. The SAMOSA Act, which passed the House last December, would require federal agencies to comprehensively assess their software licensing practices, a move aimed at curbing duplicative tech, streamlining future purchases and reducing IT costs. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, said in a press release: “The GAO has found the federal government spends more than $100 billion annually on information technology and cybersecurity, including software licenses. Far too often, taxpayer dollars are wasted on these systems and licenses agencies fail to use.” The SAMOSA Act, Mace goes on to say, “requires agencies to account for existing software assets and consolidate purchases: reducing redundancy, increasing accountability, and saving potentially billions for American taxpayers.” Also in this episode: Salesforce Global Digital Transformation Executive Nadia Hansen joins SNG host Wyatt Kash in a sponsored podcast discussion on how Agentic AI is reshaping the way government teams work and why agencies need top-level sponsorship, transparent governance and workforce training to realize its potential. This segment was by sponsored by Salesforce. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Anstatt den Code jedes Projekts in einem eigenen Repository zu verwalten, fassen Monorepos mehrere Projekte in einem einzigen Repository zusammen. Das hat Vorteile: Projektübergreifende Änderungen lassen sich dadurch deutlich einfacher umsetzen. Unternehmen wie Google oder Uber setzen auf dieses Konzept – und sie wissen vermutlich, warum. Was auf den ersten Blick vielleicht wie eine großartige Idee wirkt, bringt auch Herausforderungen mit sich. In dieser Episode werfen wir einen Blick auf Ubers Erfahrungen mit Monorepos und was wir daraus lernen können.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 128-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 26,067 on turnover of 10-billion N-T. The market's recent record breaking winning streak stuttered on Wednesday and it closed slightly lower, as investors took cues from a decline on Wall Street overnight amid concerns about overvalued equity prices. Lai talks democracy UNGA side event President Lai Ching-te has warned that the expansion of authoritarian regimes is undermining the international order and urged democracies to strengthen cooperation in response. In a prerecorded address to the 2025 Concordia Annual Summit, Lai said the "international order is being undermined" as "geopolitical tensions rise and authoritarian regimes converge (聚集) and expand." According to Lai, "democratic societies are now more heavily targeted by disinformation and other forms of external interference, posing a serious challenge to global peace." It is the second time Lai has addressed the Concordia Annual Summit with a prerecorded message. Free flu vaccines from next week The government will be rolling out phase (階段) one of it's annual free flu vaccine program next Wednesday. Those eligible include minors from 6 months old through senior high school; seniors aged 65 and over; medical workers; high-risk individuals; pregnant women and parents of babies under 6 months old. The second phase of the free flu vaccine program will begin on November 1 - when people aged between 50 and 64 will also be eligible for a shot. Rollout of phase one of the program comes as the Centers for Disease Control is warning that this year's flu season has now entered an epidemic phase. Ukraine President Warns World of Arms Race Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is telling world leaders that the world is in “the most destructive (破壞性的) arms race in human history." He called on the international community to act against Russia now, asserting that Vladimir Putin wants to expand his war in Europe. Zelenskyy's comments came a day after he met with President Donald Trump, who expressed support for Ukraine's efforts and criticized Russia. Trump said Tuesday that he believed Ukraine could win back all territory lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the U.S. leader's repeated calls for Kyiv to make concessions to end the war. Zelenskyy said international institutions like the U.N. are weak and today “Weapons decide who survives.” Texas immigration facility shooting leaves two victims dead Three people have died - including the attacker- after a shooting by a suspected sniper at an immigration facility in Texas. The gunman is dead from a self-inflicted (自己造成的) gunshot wound after the incident. Charlotte North reports from Washington Ecuador to Offer More Land for Oil Exploration Ecuador's plans to offer dozens of blocks of land for oil exploration for more than $47 billion has prompted opposition from seven Indigenous peoples in the Amazon. Those groups say 18 of the proposed blocks overlap their ancestral territories and that they were not consulted. Government officials say their plan is key to modernizing (現代化) an oil sector that supplies Ecuador's top export. The dispute comes amid a state of emergency and a national strike over fuel prices, extractive (提取的) projects and the government's failure to honor a referendum limiting drilling in Yasuni National Park.

Nextech3D.AI CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share new details on the company's highly anticipated blockchain ticketing roadmap, which aims to unify ticketing, payments, digital identity, and AR/AI-powered navigation into one integrated platform. The rollout will follow a two-phase approach designed to balance accessibility and innovation. Phase 1 (Q4 2025 will see rhe launch of a custodial, walletless ticketing solution requiring no crypto wallet from users. Fans will be able to purchase tickets seamlessly using credit card, ACH, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. A secure custodial smart wallet will be created behind the scenes, eliminating Web3 friction while still delivering the benefits of on-chain technology to event organizers. This phase is designed for maximum accessibility, ease of adoption, and regulatory compliance. Phase 2 in early 2026 will feature the introduction of a native self-custody wallet option, giving users the flexibility to hold and manage their own blockchain-based tickets directly. This feature will appeal to more advanced Web3 users seeking greater autonomy and control. Gappelberg emphasized that this dual-track strategy positions Nextech3D.AI to participate in both the primary ticketing market and the lucrative secondary resale market, which is currently dominated by legacy incumbents. By combining the security of blockchain with a scalable revenue model, the company aims to disrupt the industry with a fan-friendly, organizer-focused platform that bridges mainstream accessibility with next-generation Web3 innovation. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #MapDynamics #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice #tickets

Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has announced that broadband provider Fibrus has won a Special Achievement in GIS Award (SAG) at Esri's annual User Conference in San Diego. Fibrus was recognised for its application of Esri's ArcGIS technology to accelerate the delivery of next-generation fibre broadband to homes and businesses across Northern Ireland and Cumbria. The technology was implemented across its government backed infrastructure rollouts, including the recently completed Project Stratum in Northern Ireland and Project Gigabit in Cumbria Esri's User Conference is the world's largest GIS conference, with over 18,000 attendees. The prestigious SAG Awards celebrate organisations worldwide who have gone above and beyond in their innovative applications of Esri's technology. Using this technology, Fibrus has created streamlined and collaborative processes that have resulted in cost savings of up to €5.8 million on the rollout of fibre networks. It was selected from over 700,000 eligible customers globally. The company needed to establish more efficient and integrated digital processes for collecting, viewing, and sharing information. Esri's digital mapping technology is enabling it to control costs, scale up rapidly, achieve ambitious project milestones, and streamline processes throughout the entire lifecycle of planning, building, and maintaining the fibre networks. Real-time access to data via dedicated dashboards, wherever employees are working, is improving data accuracy and productivity for the business. To date, Fibrus has laid more than 25,000 kilometres of fibre, reaching over 440,000 homes across Northern Ireland and Cumbria, with plans for further expansion. The Esri solution is saving 500 hours per week across Fibrus, its contractors and subcontractors, due to the automation of previously manual processes. The ArcGIS-based processes initially developed for Project Stratum have subsequently been deployed across all of Fibrus' other public sector and commercial projects. Philip McLaughlin, Client Manager, Esri Ireland, said: "We are delighted to present Fibrus with this award, in recognition of its innovative application of Esri's technology. Fibrus is transforming digital infrastructure across Northern Ireland and Cumbria and its incredible work to date is a compelling example of the power of ArcGIS. This award is a testament to the dedication and determination of their entire team." Riain Garcia, Senior Manager, GIS at Fibrus, said: "We are immensely proud to receive this prestigious award. From the outset, we recognised that the scale of Project Stratum demanded innovative digital solutions. With Esri's technology, we were able to scale effectively, drive innovation, and surpass our targets. Looking ahead, we are excited to continue advancing our digital mapping capabilities across a wide range of projects and industries." See more stories here.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's name has been front and center these past few days, grabbing major headlines and fueling fan speculation. The biggest news is his surprise release of “SWAG II,” a mammoth new album unveiled just after midnight on Friday—though not without drama. According to ABC News and Good Morning America, Bieber stoked anticipation with a blitz of Instagram posts, billboards in Times Square and Atlanta, and viral teasers from Iceland, where much of this record was laid down. The album itself is a staggering effort, ranging anywhere from 23 to 44 new tracks depending on streaming platform interpretations, and features collaborations with Tems, Lil B, Bakar, Hurricane Chris, Eddie Benjamin, and even Marvin Winans and Sexyy Red. Media outlets like stupidDOPE and Y101 have been quick to point out that *SWAG II* is less about radio singles and more a streaming ecosystem, aiming squarely at today's playlist culture.The drop did not go completely smoothly. Virgin Radio hosts recounted how Bieber's own social media posts frantically documented his frustration as the album failed to show up at the promised time, with Bieber posting, refreshing, and even blaming upload delays on his own team rather than the streaming services. Ultimately, fans got the album—just hours late.The response online has been pure Bieber: huge streaming numbers, heated discussions about his evolving style, and a fresh wave of attention on his personal life. People magazine and Economic Times have highlighted Bieber's social media support for his wife, Hailey Bieber, whose Rhode skincare launch at Sephora brought the couple into joint spotlight. Bieber not only shared Rhode news with playful references to his song “Go Baby” but also dedicated tracks and heartfelt captions in support of Hailey's brand, underlining that his home life is as public as his musical career right now.Outside the studio and social feeds, public appearances around New York have sparked speculation and concern among fans. According to The Hollywood Gossip and IMDb, some fans have voiced worries about Bieber's physical appearance, and photos from these outings have launched a wave of commentary online—though there's no verified medical news or official statements to back up the chatter. Sites like SuperFriend acknowledge the rumor mills but confirm nothing substantial, leaving the conversation squarely in the realm of fan gossip for now.All of this is unfolding amidst Bieber's ongoing business ventures. Forbes and The Star Worths have reported that his real estate portfolio—luxury estates in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills—remains steady, and NetEase Cloud Music ranks him as its most-streamed Western artist, reflecting his sustained commercial clout. For now, the combination of album release spectacle, candid Instagram moments, viral family support, and public scrutiny make this one of the more biographically significant periods in Bieber's recent history.

With the expansion of transitional kindergarten to all 4-year-olds, California schools need smaller toilets, smaller sinks and a whole new understanding of the importance of play in the classroom. Think Play-Doh, fingerpaints, make believe and dress-up. Some 4-year-olds also need help going to the bathroom and wiping afterward. But teachers – and principals – are not always educated about these aspects of early education, making the roll-out of TK somewhat bumpy. In this episode, a TK teacher and our reporters discuss some of the challenges to making sure every California school is offering a high quality early education tailored to 4-year-olds' developmental needs.

Honestly you guys, we spend a good portion of the episode fangirling over Ethel Cain, but that's not all. We dive into Taylor's current album rollout (are we ruining the joy of music by trying to crack every code?), the limits of stan culture (we've GOT to cool it), and the unfolding Lana Del Rey vs. Ethel Cain discourse (a.k.a. the Kendrick vs. Drake drama for sad girls). We wrap things up with a full recap of the Ethel Cain concert, and spoiler alert, it was nothing short of transformative.

Andy and Brendan return to unpack Brian Rolapp's presser at East Lake ahead of the 2025 Tour Championship. Brendan is in especially high spirits following a strong start from Jacob Bridgeman who has found himself in contention to win the FedEx Cup after one round in Atlanta. The bulk of this episode is spent recapping Rolapp's press conference and discussing his first orders of business as CEO of the PGA Tour. It sounds like major changes are coming and Andy, Brendan, and PJ wonder where Rolapp and his newly formed committee will begin. Whether it's taking a piece of revenue from majors, various media rights deals, or shrinking the Tour even more, Rolapp seems eager to shake things up. The back half of this show previews the LIV Team Championship in Plymouth, Michigan. The event will be LIV's 50th tournament, leaving Andy and Brendan to wonder whether the league will make it to 100 events. Brendan runs through some all-time LIV stats, as this golf entity actually has accurate bookkeeping - a rarity these days! Jon Rahm has come down from Mt. Everest and made an interesting draft choice when choosing his first-round opponent, drawing comparisons to his beloved Arizona Diamondbacks. We will be back on Monday to break down golf's Super Bowl in full after a new FedEx Cup champion is crowned at East Lake on Sunday night.

News and Updates: Disney will fully integrate Hulu into Disney+ in 2026, creating a single streaming app while still offering standalone subscriptions. Internationally, Hulu will replace the Star brand in fall 2025. Disney expects the merger to cut costs, lower churn, and boost ad sales. Hulu + Live TV will merge with Fubo under a JV but remain separate until its own Disney+ integration in 2026. The move follows Disney's $9B buyout of Comcast's Hulu stake. ESPN and Fox will launch standalone live sports streaming services on Aug. 21, with a joint $39.99/month bundle available Oct. 2, saving subscribers about $10. ESPN's $29.99 plan includes its live channels and WWE coverage, while Fox One's $19.99 plan offers Fox News, Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, and more. Warner Bros. Discovery is also developing a direct-to-consumer TNT Sports streaming product. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants every American wearing a health tracker within four years under his “Make America Healthy Again” plan. Critics argue it's a tech industry giveaway with minimal real health impact, costly for consumers, and a distraction from weakening public health infrastructure. CGMs and wearables can help specific patients but offer little benefit to most healthy users. OpenAI launched GPT-5, calling it its “best AI yet” with better reasoning, fewer hallucinations, and stronger coding skills. It's free for all ChatGPT tiers with tier-based usage limits. However, backlash erupted as GPT-4o and other models were removed, with users complaining GPT-5 gives shorter, less personal answers and makes basic mistakes. CEO Sam Altman promised fixes, restored GPT-4o for Plus users, and plans tweaks to model-switching and “thinking mode.”

One of the best parts of homeschooling is the freedom to start the year in a way that works for your family.

Personal notes to each child, wish lists of activities, and a few well-chosen dates on the calendar can keep momentum going all year. By adding subjects gradually, stocking up on creative supplies, and valuing the experience of learning, you set the tone for a joyful, sustainable year.In this episode, we share practical tips, creative ideas, and mindset shifts to help you roll out your homeschool year gently while building curiosity, creativity, and connection.
