WHAT IFWhat if the thing that's been holding you back isn't your resume, your credentials, or your experience. But the version of yourself you've been shrinking to fit rooms that were never built for you? Dr. Syreeta Rios has a doctorate, two decades in tech, a PMP certification, and a global career that took her from Delaware to Atlanta to Dubai. She still had to fight every single step of the way. Her answer wasn't to conform. It was to unleash.SUMMARY & GUEST INTRODr. Syreeta Rios walked into corporate America with every credential they said she needed. The bachelor's, the MBA, the PMP. And they still told her she couldn't handle the questions. She built her career anyway, taking herself from the conference rooms of the US to international assignments in Dubai, navigating single motherhood, divorce, and her own dark seasons, and coming out the other side with a framework she now teaches women across the country. She's an Afro-Latina tech executive, board member, 2024 International Impact Book Award winner, founder of the Bad Bitch Boardroom, host of the Professional Bad Bitch Podcast, and author of Unleash Your Inner Bad Bitch. She means every single word of it. I needed this conversation. And by the end of it, so will you.INSIDE THE EPISODECredentials Weren't Enough. Dr. Syreeta had the bachelor's, the MBA, the PMP — and still heard “I don't think you can handle the questions.” She breaks down the moment she stopped asking for permission, started networking around the gatekeepers, and went and got it herself. FAFO energy, activated.Dubai, Disrespect, and Discovering Her Authentic Self. As one of six Americans and one of four Black people in a workplace abroad, Dr. Syreeta was called fat every single day. She stayed for three years, proved herself anyway, and credits that pressure cooker environment with the moment her authenticity fully came alive. When everyone questioned her worth, she stopped questioning it herself.The B.A.D. B.I.T.C.H. Acronym. Before you clutch your pearls — it's an acronym. Brave. Ambitious. Determined. Bold. Intelligent. Talented. Creative. Heroic. Dr. Syreeta breaks it down and makes the case that if you have even three to five of those qualities, you are already a bad bitch. It's time to take credit for it.From Shy to Unstoppable. Dr. Syreeta was super shy in her first corporate job — quiet in meetings, dressed to blend in, watching her ideas get credited to the man sitting next to her. She traces the slow, deliberate transition from shrinking to showing up. Starting with the hoops, the wings, and the decision to stop making herself smaller for rooms that didn't deserve her full self.Project Management Is a Life Framework. Scope management. Stakeholder management. Communication management. Dr. Syreeta has spent 15 years applying PM frameworks to billion-dollar projects. Every single one maps directly to life. Whether you're planning a birth, running a household, or navigating a career pivot, you are already a project manager.The Guilt Audit. Career mom guilt. Partner guilt. Family guilt. Dr. Syreeta breaks down where it all comes from: an ex-husband who told her she was putting her job before her family while she was on back-to-back meetings during COVID with a one-year-old in the house. Her reframe: the things that fill you up don't need to be justified to anyone. And science backs it up — career moms do not negatively impact their kids. Full stop.Dark Places and Real Talk. Dr. Syreeta spent three to four years in a genuinely dark place: divorce, single motherhood, starting over. She wrote her book in the middle of it, which triggered it all over again. Her message to any woman in that place right now: you are not alone, you are still a bad bitch, and therapy is not optional. Go get a therapist. Even when things are good.RESOURCES & LINKSBook: Unleash Your Inner Bad Bitch — Dr. Syreeta Rios: https://www.amazon.com/Unleash-Your-Inner-Bad-Bitch/dp/B0DG7KRJMHPodcast: Professional Bad Bitch Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3gw3NCDLhTiEHUc7eFeLaxLinkedIn: Dr. Syreeta Rios: https://www.linkedin.com/in/syreetarios/HER Collective: Send Erica a DM.

At the Eurelectric Power Summit 2026 in Helsinki, Laurent had the opportunity to sit down with Catherine MacGregor, CEO of ENGIE and Vice President of Eurelectric, for a wide-ranging discussion on the key issues shaping Europe's energy future.  We began with the themes at the heart of Eurelectric's agenda this year: security of supply, affordability, competitiveness, and the challenges and opportunities created by the rapid growth of data centres.  One of the most striking insights from our conversation was that Europe does not have an electrification technology problem — it has an electrification coordination problem. This was also the central conclusion of the report Power Couples: Enhancing Industrial Competitiveness through Electrification, launched by Eurelectric and Accenture at Power Summit 2026. The report finds that electrification projects rarely fail because technology is unavailable. Instead, they stall when power economics, grid access, infrastructure delivery, financing structures, and industrial investment timelines are not aligned.The proposed solution is a new delivery model: “Power Couples”, bringing together industrial players, utilities, technology providers and capital partners to accelerate deployment at scale.  We also reflected on ENGIE's remarkable transformation under Catherine's leadership over the past five and a half years. The company's strategy has been defined by two parallel moves: more than €15 billion of divestments from fossil and legacy assets, alongside concentrated investments in renewables, networks, batteries, and regulated infrastructure — all while maintaining strong financial discipline, with net debt-to-EBITDA around 3.  The results have been impressive. Since 2021, ENGIE has delivered the strongest risk-adjusted equity performance among major European utilities, combining substantial dividend distributions with significant share-price appreciation. With an annualised IRR of roughly 20.5% since January 2021, ENGIE has outperformed the net returns of many leading global infrastructure investors, effectively delivering private-equity-style returns with public-market liquidity.  Our discussion also covered ENGIE's leadership in power purchase agreements (PPAs), its support for 24/7 Scope 2 accounting, the recent acquisition of UK Power Networks, progress in EV charging infrastructure, and its fully integrated strategy for data centre development.  Finally, we explored ENGIE's investment plans for the years ahead and the broader structural shift underway across the energy system: the continued transition from molecules to electrons.    Eurelectric Report: Power Couples https://www.eurelectric.org/publications/industrial-electrification-power-couples/

The traditional project management Big Three of Scope, Schedule, and Cost are foundational. They are not going anywhere, and they should not. However, those metrics primarily measure the process. If you only look at data on a digital dashboard, you are missing the human element that determines whether a project succeeds or fails.In this episode, we break down how to augment your traditional constraints with four people-focused vital signs that provide a real-time, accurate picture of your team and project health.Alignment: Is everyone actually pulling in the same direction, or are they just checking boxes?Confidence: Does the team genuinely believe the objectives are achievable?Direction to Done: Is the path forward completely clear, or is the finish line a moving target?Stability: Is the operational environment steady, or are shifting priorities causing burnout?By tracking these human indicators alongside your standard constraints, you bridge the gap between software dashboards and real-world execution.Key TakeawaysThe Process vs. People Gap: Why on-time and under-budget projects can still fail if the team is completely misaligned.Augmenting the Big Three: How to layer qualitative human metrics on top of quantitative scope, schedule, and cost data.The 4 Vital Signs Explained: A deep dive into Alignment, Confidence, Direction to Done, and Stability, and how to spot when one is slipping.Leading with Clarity: Practical ways for PMO leaders to pulse check these metrics through direct communication rather than software tracking.Resources MentionedConnect with the Show: peopleprocessprogress.comKeep the Conversation Going: @thekevinpannell on X and InstagramFitness and BJJ Content: Own.

When a child struggles with swallowing, chewing, or food transitions, our first instinct is often to look directly at traditional feeding strategies. But what if the missing piece of the puzzle isn't the food itself, but the foundational resting posture and function of the orofacial muscles?In this solo episode, Hallie Bulkin demystifies myofunctional therapy (Myo) and explores its critical, undeniable overlap with pediatric feeding therapy. She breaks down how addressing underlying myofunctional dysfunction can drastically accelerate your clinical progress, protect airway safety, and create long-term, sustainable outcomes for the children on your caseload.Hallie addresses common misconceptions surrounding Myo, discusses structural considerations like tongue-ties, and explains why a whole-system approach—looking at tongue posture, breathing, and body alignment—is non-negotiable. If you're ready to stop looking at oral motor function in a vacuum and want practical steps to seamlessly weave myofunctional thinking into your next feeding evaluation, this episode is exactly what you need.Key Topics & TakeawaysDefining the Scope of Myo: Understanding what myofunctional therapy actually is and how it targets the resting postures and functions of the oral and facial muscles.The Perfect Partners: Why feeding therapy and Myo should never be treated as entirely separate disciplines, but rather as deeply interconnected systems that support one another.The Trifecta of Function: Exploring how tongue resting posture, nasal breathing, and physical body posture directly dictate a child's success with chewing and safe swallowing mechanics.Debunking Common Misconceptions: Shedding light on the myths surrounding myofunctional therapy and highlighting the evidence-based research that supports its clinical efficacy.Integrating the Assessment: Practical, realistic steps to incorporate orofacial muscle function and structural considerations (like tongue-ties) into your standard feeding evaluations without blowing your timeline.Soundbites"Feeding and Myo are partners, not separate disciplines. When you treat them as a connected system, your outcomes transform.""Addressing myofunctional dysfunction speeds up feeding progress. We cannot build functional feeding skills on top of poor oral resting postures.""Myo literacy makes you a better clinician in any specialty. It completely shifts the lens through which you analyze a child's struggles."Timestamps00:02:29 | Defining Myofunctional Therapy00:03:32 | The Root Cause vs. Symptom Lens00:07:09 | Breaking Through Feeding Plateaus00:11:56 | Where Feeding and Myo Overlap00:14:41 | Airway Management & Nasal Breathing00:18:12 | Debunking the "Just Exercises" Myth00:23:54 | How to Run a Myo Assessment00:30:12 | The 5-Step Integration Framework00:33:33 | The Connected Child SystemLinks & ResourcesClinical Tool: Streamline your assessments and screen for muscle dysfunction F.A.S.T.

He's six weeks into building something the Navy has never had: a real program of record for the sailors flying, fixing, and fighting from carriers and squadrons across the fleet.What we get into:Why Navy's body composition data is the worst of any service, and why basic readiness tasks like firefighting and damage control on a ship demand a level of fitness the current PT test doesn't measure.The staffing model Kevin's building, borrowed from what's already worked at Naval Special Warfare — sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, strength coaches, dietitians, and cognitive specialists all under one roof, no turf wars, all reporting to the operator's needs.Why staffing needs differ wildly by platform — fighter jets versus cargo aircraft versus rotary wing all create different injury patterns and demand different specialists, and Kevin's building ratios around that instead of a one-size-fits-all model.The credentialing fight nobody talks about — whether embedded providers get privileged through the local hospital or through service leadership that actually understands the mission, and why that distinction will shape every branch's human performance program going forward.Scope of practice in the field — Kevin's blunt take on doing an ultrasound exam in a squadron space versus a sterile OR, and why "industry standard" sports medicine practice shouldn't get flagged just because it's happening outside a hospital.The Federal Acquisition Regulation deep dive — Drew and Alex make the case for a personal services contract exemption for strength coaches, and Kevin confirms he's quoting the same FAR language in the contracts he's writing right now.The actual rollout plan — POM-29 request for 73 new billets, a phased approach starting with strike fighter wings, and a realistic timeline stretching from 2028 to 2033.A surprisingly deep tangent on Pilates, Joseph Pilates' origin story rehabbing WWI soldiers, and why it might become part of the Navy's spine preservation programming.Mentioned in this episode:WPO — Warfighter Performance Optimization, the Pentagon-level effort referenced throughoutVice Admiral Vi and Rear Admiral Hancock — instrumental in standing up the human performance center at Camp Lejeune's School of Infantry EastLong and Strong — the Mops and Moes training program on TrainHeroic Views expressed are those of the speakers and do not represent any official organization.

In this special on-location episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, recorded at the Chicago History Museum on the occasion of His Majesty the King's official birthday, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Richard Hyde — His Majesty's Consul General in Chicago and the senior British diplomatic representative across 14 states in the American Midwest. Speaking just before the British Consulate's King's Birthday Garden Party, Richard explains what a Consul General actually does, why Britain doesn't have a National Day, how he approaches representing modern Britain to the heartland of America, and what King Charles's address to a joint session of Congress meant for the Special Relationship. The conversation also uncovers a remarkable piece of Anglo-Chicago history: after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Queen Victoria and 8,000 British donors — including Disraeli, Tennyson, and John Stuart Mill — sent books to Chicago, directly founding the Chicago Public Library. Plus: the Beatles, Frank Lloyd Wright's Welsh roots, Abraham Lincoln's North Wales ancestry, and why Chicago is Richard's favorite city in the world. Note: We had originally planned to do a 100th Q&A for our 100th episode, but a much bigger opportunity arose last week, which we thought was more fitting. We'll do the Q&A soon! Links British Consulate General Chicago Website UK In Chicago on Instagram British Consulate General Chicago on X/Twitter British Embassy Washington DC UK Government in the USA Chicago History Museum Chicago Public Library Foundation Hawksmoor Chicago Celtic Crossings Chicago Chicago Shakespeare Theater America 250 Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The United Kingdom is one of the only countries in the world without an official National Day — which is why British consulates abroad use the King's official birthday in June as their annual celebration, conveniently timed to coincide with Trooping the Colour. Richard Hyde covers 14 American states as Consul General — roughly 25% of the entire United States — including 105 members of the House of Representatives and 28 senators, making the Midwest a critical region for understanding where American politics is heading. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Queen Victoria personally led a donation drive that saw 8,000 British donors — including Benjamin Disraeli, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and John Stuart Mill — send books to Chicago, directly founding the Chicago Public Library. Victoria's personally signed copy of a biography of Prince Albert is still in the library's special collection. King Charles's address to a joint session of Congress during his America 250 visit was, in Richard's assessment, a masterclass in diplomatic communication — speaking to shared values rather than political divisions and reminding both nations of the deep historical thread connecting Magna Carta to the US Constitution. Frank Lloyd Wright's family were Welsh; Abraham Lincoln's great-great-grandfather came from a small village in North Wales just 40 miles from Richard's hometown of Liverpool; and Anish Kapoor — who designed Chicago's Cloud Gate Bean — is British. Britain's cultural fingerprints are everywhere in Chicago. The British Consulate deliberately chose the Chicago History Museum and the Chicago Public Library Foundation as partners for this year's King's Birthday event to honor the Victorian book donation story — and encouraged guests to donate to the Foundation in the spirit of Queen Victoria's original gesture. Richard argues that British culture in America is simultaneously everywhere and invisible — so deeply embedded in American music, film, language, and history that most Americans don't register it as foreign. The Beatles are the perfect example: four working-class kids from Liverpool whose music plays in every country in the world, including a Chinese restaurant in Somalia in 1998. The Special Relationship, Richard says, is ultimately about 80% agreement — both countries share fundamental values on democracy, freedom, and human rights, and the disagreements, while loud, are at the margins. King Charles's Congress speech focused on that 80%. Richard's most unexpected discovery in Chicago: Midwesterners are the most authentically friendly people he's encountered in 10 overseas postings. They follow up. They text you. They actually become your friends — not just professional contacts. Richard's message to young Americans: spend time abroad. Not a two-week vacation, but a semester, a few months, living in someone else's culture. It will change how you see America — and make you appreciate it far more deeply. Soundbites "I like to joke that Chicago is one of America's two great cities with proper downtowns. Everywhere else is sprawl. But the difference is — in Chicago, the people are nice, the streets are clean, and the food's better." — Richard on why Chicago stands apart. "We're celebrating America 250. We're celebrating the fact that this is the greatest startup in history. We argued a little bit and there was some spilled tea — and despite all of that, 250 years on, no two countries do more together in the world." — Richard on Britain's approach to America 250. "Queen Victoria and 8,000 British donors sent books to Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871 — and that donation directly led to the founding of the Chicago Public Library. Victoria's signed copy is still there. It's a gesture from 1871 that still resonates now." — Richard on the Anglo-Chicago library story. "The King rises above the moment. He was able to come at a challenging time in our relationship and remind Americans — and remind Brits — that there are fundamentally more important things than the moment we're in. And that is our shared values." — Richard on King Charles's Congress speech. "I've been all around the world. I've never really been a great theater-goer. But Ed Hall at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre has kind of infected me. I've become addicted to theater." — Richard on an unexpected Chicago conversion. "The flag in the United States is the symbol of their liberty. Our flag was created from existing countries we already had. So Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland — the Union flag is basically a combination of four different crosses. We didn't have to fight for it." — Richard on why Brits and Americans relate to their flags so differently. "I've lived here almost two years. Of all the places I've lived, this is the easiest place in the world to actually build a network of friends. You can stand in a bar and someone starts talking to you about the Cubs and fundamentally how terrible everyone is at the moment — and they actually follow up." — Richard on Midwestern friendliness. "The longer I stay away and the more I've represented my country overseas, the prouder I am of that country. Warts and all. I'm proud of the history — even the complicated history. You have to understand it, not erase it." — Richard on representing Britain from a distance. "I have to say — I saw Hamilton recently and the best character in Hamilton is the King. Everyone agrees. He has the best songs." — Richard on George III stealing the show. "If you ever get a chance to travel — and I say this to a lot of young Americans — don't mean a two-week vacation. Go spend a semester abroad. Go spend a few months in somebody else's culture. And you'll understand A, that the country you love isn't perfect.

Good Enough, Safe Enough: Affirming LGBTQ+ Clients When You're Not a Specialist Affirming LGBTQ+ clients when you are not a specialist: Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT on being a good enough, safe enough therapist when you cannot refer out. Curt and Katie take on a question therapists often avoid: what do you do when an LGBTQ+ client needs care, you are not a specialist, and referring out is not possible, not safe, or not honest? In this Pride Month episode, they make the case that you can be a good enough, safe enough therapist for LGBTQ+ clients even when affirming care is not your declared specialty. Mental health deserts, narrow insurance panels, long specialist wait lists, and unsafe home environments mean referral is not always available, and sometimes referring out is closer to abandonment than care. Curt and Katie argue that scope of competence is too often used as polite cover for therapist discomfort, and that most clinical work with LGBTQ+ clients is the same work you already do well. Affirming care is the container, not a separate specialty. They also get practical about being a safe enough stopgap therapist: building a just in time consultation kit, doing the cultural humility work, and reckoning with the invisible labor and consultation tax of allyship, including why you should never bill a client to research their own identity. And they name the specific moments when referring an LGBTQ+ client out is still the right and ethical call. This is a useful conversation for generalist therapists, rural and solo clinicians, insurance-based practices, and anyone doing the ongoing work of affirming, culturally humble care. In this episode, we discuss: - Why "refer out" can be avoidance dressed as ethics, and when it is genuinely the right call - How to tell a true scope of competence limit from your own discomfort - What it means to be a good enough, safe enough therapist for LGBTQ+ clients - How to build a just in time kit so an LGBTQ+ client never lands on you cold - Why the invisible labor and consultation tax of allyship is yours to carry, not your client's to fund - The specific signs that mean you should refer out anyway Timestamps: 00:15 - Why a Pride Month episode on being good enough, not a specialist 02:56 - "Just refer out": sound advice or avoidance? 05:05 - Scope of competence versus therapist discomfort 13:08 - The good enough therapist, and when referral becomes abandonment 16:55 - Meeting clients where they are until specialist care opens up 19:03 - Building a just in time kit for your practice 24:44 - The invisible labor and consultation tax of allyship 32:10 - When you should refer out anyway Full show notes and transcript: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/

Breaking Down The Truth Behind the 1999 vs. 2022 Radiation Guidelines In this episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast, Irene and Victoria tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in dentistry today: radiation protection guidelines and the confusion surrounding lead aprons. You've probably heard the statement: "Lead aprons are no longer required." But what does that actually mean? With the transition from the 1999 radiation protection guidelines to the updated 2022 recommendations, many dental professionals, especially in Ontario, Canada, have been left trying to determine what has changed, what hasn't, and how these recommendations should be applied in clinical practice. Because this conversation isn't about removing protection. It's about understanding protection. In This Episode We Discuss: The key differences between the 1999 and 2022 radiation protection guidelines Why the phrase "not required" is often misunderstood The anatomy of a lead apron: apron vs. thyroid collar When patient shielding may still be appropriate What defines an elective radiograph Why radiographs should only be prescribed when there is a clear indication or risk factor How digital imaging and handheld X-ray devices have changed the landscape The importance of critical thinking when applying updated guidelines Clinical & Real-World Insights How advances in digital radiography have influenced modern safety recommendations Increased specificity in the 2022 guidelines regarding equipment handling, storage, inspection, and damage protocols Real-world examples of responding to equipment alerts and quality concerns The growing emphasis on quality assurance and documentation Why "not required" does not mean "never use" How misinterpretation of guidelines can directly impact patient care Key Takeaway At the end of the day, using protection appropriately based on evidence, clinical judgment, and patient-specific factors. Guidelines evolve, but our clinical judgement and patient needs need to be considered.  The standard of care remains. A simple framework to remember: Assess Risk → Justify Exposure → Optimize Protection Because radiographs are not routine and ought to be prescribed with purpose and reason Resources & References Canadian Resources CDA Position Statement for the Control of X-Radiation in Dentistry https://www.cda-adc.ca/en/about/position_statements/xray/ RCDSO X-Ray Safety Requirements for All Ontario Dentists https://www.rcdso.org/en-ca/standards-guidelines-resources/rcdso-news/articles/1393 Health Canada – Radiation Protection in Dentistry (Safety Code 30, 2022) https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/environmental-workplace-health/reports-publications/radiation/radiation-protection-dentistry-recommended-safety-procedures-use-dental-equipment-safety-code-30.html Healing Arts Radiation Protection Act (HARP) – Ontario https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90h02 HARP Certification Course (George Brown College) https://coned.georgebrown.ca/courses-and-programs/dental-radiography-harp-approved-certification Federation of Dental Hygiene Regulators of Canada – Scope of Practice https://www.fdhrc.ca/pages/dental-hygiene-in-canada/the-profession/ CDHO Update on Scope of Practice for Dental Hygienists in Ontario https://cdho.org/update-on-scope-of-practice/ International Resources ADA Releases Updated Recommendations to Enhance Radiography Safety in Dentistry https://www.ada.org/about/press-releases/ada-releases-updated-recommendations-to-enhance-radiography-safety-in-dentistry ADA & AAOMR Patient Selection for Dental Radiography and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography https://jada.ada.org/action/showPdf?pii=S0002-8177%2825%2900631-2 AAPD Guidelines for Prescribing Dental Radiographs for Infants, Children, Adolescents, and Individuals with Special Health Care Needs https://www.aapd.org/media/policies_guidelines/bp_radiographs.pdf Standards for Licensing Dental Hygienists and Dental Assistants in Dental Radiography (US) https://codes.findlaw.com/cfr/title-42-public-health/cfr-pt-42-75-app-g/ Additional Resources Toothlife X-Radiation Downloadable Resource https://www.toothlife.ca/products/x-ray-radiation-resource Designs for Vision Loupes https://www.designsforvision.com/DentHtml/HygDes.htm

In pursuing civil enforcement under the Virgin Islands' Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (CICO), former U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George didn't just target Jeffrey Epstein's estate and his immediate corporate structures — she cast a far wider net that reached into major financial institutions she believed enabled and obscured his criminal enterprise. After securing a blockbuster $105 million settlement with Epstein's estate and co-defendants for human trafficking, child exploitation, fraud, and corrupt use of tax incentives, her office issued subpoenas to multiple banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Citibank, seeking detailed account records, wire transfers, and communications related to Epstein's myriad corporations, trusts, and financial vehicles. These subpoenas were intended to trace how funds moved through Epstein's networks and whether banks knowingly facilitated or failed to flag suspicious activity tied to his sex-trafficking scheme.George then took the extraordinary step of filing a federal lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, accusing the bank of “knowingly facilitati[ng], sustain[ing], and conceal[ing]” Epstein's human trafficking operations and alleging it financially benefitted from maintaining and managing his accounts over years. The complaint portrayed JPMorgan as indispensable to Epstein's ability to pay recruiters and victims, maintain secrecy, and profit from his criminal enterprise — claims that expanded the legal exposure beyond individuals directly implicated in abuse to the financial systems that kept Epstein's operation solvent. Although Deutsche Bank was not named as a defendant in George's suit, the broader investigative push signaled an effort to hold major financial players accountable for oversight failures or complicity in facilitating one of the most notorious trafficking networks in recent history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Καλεσμένος ο Δρ. Αριστομένης Τουρβάς, Παθολόγος–Εντατικολόγος, με πιστοποίηση SCOPE και εξειδίκευση στην παχυσαρκία.   Μια νέα εποχή φαίνεται να ξεκινά στην αντιμετώπιση της παχυσαρκίας. Σε κλινικές μελέτες ενός νέου φαρμάκου, ασθενείς έχασαν πάνω από το 25% του βάρους τους. Μέσα σε λίγα χρόνια, φάρμακα όπως το Ozempic, το Wegovy και το Mounjaro πέρασαν από τα ιατρεία και τα επιστημονικά συνέδρια, στα πρωτοσέλιδα, στα social media και στις καθημερινές συζητήσεις. Για κάποιους αποτελούν μια επανάσταση στην ιατρική. Για άλλους, μια εξέλιξη που συνοδεύεται από μεγάλες προσδοκίες αλλά και σημαντικά ερωτήματα για την ασφάλεια, τη χρήση και το μέλλον τους.   Μπορούν πραγματικά αυτά τα φάρμακα να αλλάξουν τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αντιμετωπίζουμε την παχυσαρκία; Πόσο αποτελεσματικά και πόσο ασφαλή είναι; Σε ποιους απευθύνονται; Και βρισκόμαστε πράγματι μπροστά σε μια νέα εποχή στην ιατρική; Ίσως στη σημαντικότερη εξέλιξη στην αντιμετώπιση της παχυσαρκίας από τότε που η ιατρική άρχισε να τη θεωρεί νόσο;

If you're an SLP who's wondering how you can effectively address complex skills relating to both language and executive functioning in the school systems… The primary challenge is that BOTH language and executive functioning are incredibly complicated. Even just focusing on one or the other can be overwhelming. Layer on the challenges with the way related service providers are expected to provide interventions in the schools, and it seems impossible. Unfortunately, that challenge has resulted in debates on whether executive functioning is more important than language and vice versa, which isn't useful. You don't have to decide which is more important. They both are. We need to find a way to address them both. I help clinicians do that with a concept I call “cycling”. What I do is teach clinicians a set of core treatment techniques that fit within a set of foundational areas that support language and executive functioning.That's why in this episode, I share how to target both language and executive functioning in direct intervention with enough depth that you get results. In this episode, I reveal:✅ When it's appropriate to think of language intervention in terms of working up a hierarchy of skills, and when it doesn't.✅ Why using treatment cycles is more effective than trying to pin down a “scope and sequence” for language and cognitive intervention.✅ How to use intervention cycles to build a language therapy system, and eventually move on to layering in more robust executive functioning support. ✅ Why layering other service delivery models outside of direct intervention is essential for generalization, and how to make sure support is happening outside your sessions. Additional resources mentioned in this episode:Free Training: Three Shifts to Turning Your Clinical Expertise Into a Scalable Language Therapy System Link here: https://drkarenspeech.com/languageWhy language therapy works better in cycles than in a linear sequence Link here: https://drkarenspeech.com/why-language-therapy-works-better-in-cycles-than-in-a-linear-sequence/You think you need a language therapy hierarchy.

Send us Fan MailRoutine stifle exploration during canine cranial cruciate ligament surgery sounds like common sense, until you ask the uncomfortable question: what if “doing more” doesn't reliably improve long-term function for most dogs? We sit down with Dr. Dan Low to unpack long-term outcomes after high tibial osteotomy procedures (TPLO and CCWO) performed without routine arthroscopy or arthrotomy and without proactive meniscal evaluation, a real-world approach many clinicians use but rarely see studied in depth.We break down what high tibial osteotomy actually changes in the cruciate-deficient stifle, then get practical about evidence. Dan explains why this large case series matters, how uncommon events become easier to estimate with bigger numbers, and why validated owner-reported tools like LOAD (Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs) and the Canine Orthopedic Index give us a more standardized view of recovery than vague “good” or “excellent” labels. We also discuss one of the most debated points in veterinary orthopedics: late meniscectomy. When a meniscal sparing strategy produces a low late-intervention rate that looks similar to rates reported in explored joints, it raises a bigger issue about which meniscal lesions are truly clinically meaningful.We don't pretend one study settles the debate. You'll hear the strongest criticisms of this design, the patient groups where exploration still makes sense (uncertain diagnosis, revision cases), and the unanswered research questions that could reshape how we balance morbidity, time, and cost in dog knee surgery. If you treat CCL disease, refer cruciate cases, or counsel owners through surgical options, this conversation will sharpen how you explain risk-benefit decisions without defaulting to habit.Subscribe for more evidence-focused veterinary conversations, share this episode with a colleague, and leave a rating or review wherever you listen.JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.25.11.0736INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ®  OR AJVR ® ?JAVMA ® : https://avma.org/JAVMAAuthorsAJVR ® : https://avma.org/AJVRAuthorsFOLLOW US:JAVMA ® :Facebook: Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association - JAVMA | FacebookInstagram: JAVMA (@avma_javma) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: JAVMA (@AVMAJAVMA) / Twitter AJVR ® : Facebook: American Journal of Veterinary Research - AJVR | FacebookInstagram: AJVR (@ajvroa) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: AJVR (@AJVROA) / TwitterJAVMA ®  and AJVR ®  LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/avma-journals

Dr. Emily Dow, PhD, RD, is a researcher and registered dietitian working at the intersection of nutrition, resistance training, and gut health. Does vinegar actually do anything for your gut or your blood sugar? Can you trust a $200 mail-in microbiome test? Emily built her dissertation around questions like these, and her honest answers are a lot more useful than the marketing. Expect to learn what a 12-week resistance-training-plus-vinegar protocol did (and didn't do) to gut permeability, why a null result in a healthy population is still worth your attention, what the research really says about vinegar and glucose control, why the peptide boom warrants a hard dose of skepticism, what direct-to-consumer gut testing genuinely can and can't tell you, the underrated role stress plays in GI symptoms, and why the best practitioners do both research and hands-on coaching — and much more. — Get the Daily Fitness Insider newsletter (free): https://www.miketnelson.com/newsletter Connect with Dr. Dow: Website: https://www.dremilydow.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dremilydow Episodes you'll enjoy next: #127 — The Effect of Antibiotics on Muscle Mass & Cardiovascular Performance with Dr. Sara Campbell: https://flex-diet-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/episode-127-the-effect-of-antibiotics-on-muscle-mass-aerobic-cardiovascular-performance-and-more-an-interview-with-dr-sara-campbell #222 — Nutrition, Supplements & Training with RD Sean Casey https://flex-diet-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/episode-222-expert-insights-on-nutrition-supplements-and-training-with-registered-dietician-sean-casey Enjoying the show?

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is a Q&A grab bag, packed with the best questions that have come in so far this year. These are the real issues designers are navigating right now, and while some of the questions are too specific to stretch into a full deep dive episode on their own, together they create a powerful, practical conversation.This is the episode to listen to if you want clear direction, language you can use with clients, and smart business moves you can implement this week to protect your time, your profit, and your peace.A major theme you'll hear throughout this Q&A is this: when things get quiet, it is usually easier to create momentum with the relationships you already have than it is to start from zero with strangers. Nurturing current clients, reactivating past clients, and staying connected to referral partners is often the fastest and healthiest path back to a full pipeline.In this episode, we cover:What to do when the phone goes quiet and your pipeline slows down, without spirallingHow to create momentum by nurturing current clients before chasing brand new leadsHow to reactivate past clients in a way that feels confident, not desperateWhat to say when referral partners are your fastest path to new projectsHow to have the tariff and price increase conversation with clarity and credibilityHow to raise prices without losing the client by presenting options and a planHow to respond to the “double dipping” objection and explain your procurement model with confidenceWhy scope creep is often a pricing and process problem, not a client problemHow to create boundaries that actually hold through clearer deliverables, approvals, and revision limitsWhat AI is actually worth your time in a design business, and what to keep off limitsWhy some small firms are quietly closing and what the firms who survive are doing differentlyHow to build a business that does not burn you out, through systems, capacity, and boundariesKey takeawaysSlow seasons are normal, but spiralling is optional. Switch into CEO mode and take strategic action.Your fastest wins often come from the people who already know you: current clients, past clients, and referral partners.Clear communication protects profit. Most client pushback starts where your process is unclear.Procurement is a service. When you explain it like a service, clients stop treating it like a transaction.Scope creep thrives in vague processes. Build fee structures and approvals that prevent it from starting.AI is an assistant, not a decision maker. Use it for drafts and systems, not creative direction or exact details.Burnout is a business model problem, not a personal weakness. Structure creates freedom.Mentioned in the episodeIf you have not embraced AI yet, do not worry. You are not behind, you are just busy.

Historian Sarah Pearsall joins co-hosts Jennifer Maritza McCauley and Whitney Terrell to discuss her new book, Freedom Round the Globe: a World History of the American Revolution. As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Pearsall talks about how she chose to write about the global context of the American Revolution. She explains how the hanging of an indigenous woman in Detroit, ordered by British colonizers of the area, led to protests that prefigured the American Revolution. She outlines how tax protests in St. Kitts and the East India Company's actions in South Asia influenced the thinking of revolutionary leaders in the thirteen colonies. She also discusses the role that war crimes played in the public relations battle of the war and reads a passage from Freedom Round the Globe.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Are medical advancements closing or widening medical disparities? Eugene Manley, Jr., Ph.D., founder and CEO of the STEMM & Cancer Health Equity Foundation, breaks down why equity is still not completely measurable in clinical trials, what proper representation in studies is, and how certain demographics are at a disadvantage for biomarker tests compared to other groups with host Deborah Borfitz.

Today we're diving into a topic every hunter, shooter, and outdoorsman has an opinion on — optics. From budget glass to top-tier scopes, we're talking about what you actually get for your money, where quality matters most, and whether expensive optics really make a difference in the field. We'll cover clarity, low light performance, durability, tracking, magnification, and some of the biggest misconceptions people have when buying a scope. Whether you're setting up a deer rifle, building a long-range setup, or just trying to figure out what's worth the money and what's marketing hype, this episode's for you.

There are three documents every interior designer managing construction projects needs to understand. And most don't, not fully.   Not because they're complicated. Because nobody ever explained the difference between them and why each one matters so much.   In this episode, I'm walking through the scope of work, the change order, and the addendum to scope of work; what each one does, when to use it, and what it costs you when you don't. I'm also talking about how these three documents together answer the question every client is quietly asking: why do I need a designer, and is this worth the investment?   Because when you run a project with clear documentation and a system your whole team understands, you stop having to explain your value. Your clients feel it. Your contractors trust it. And your projects end the way they deserve to.   Mentioned in this episode: Join The Designer's Edge waitlist here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/construction-management-interior-designers Grab Your Free Script Guide here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/push-back-script-handout Access the full video interview with Elana Steele of Steele Appliance here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/appliance   Find the full shownotes at: https://devignierdesign.com/three-documents-interior-design-project

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's AI Safety Consortium will now be called the NIST Artificial Intelligence Consortium, the agency said Friday, continuing a shift in approach to the technology under President Donald Trump. According to NIST's announcement, the renamed group will retain some of its previous work but will change its scope. The group is also seeking new member organizations to carry out its aims. Craig Burkhardt, deputy NIST director, said in a statement included in the release. “To encourage more extraordinary AI technological innovations, NIST is seeking to expand its AI measurement efforts by harnessing the broader community's interests and capabilities.” The decision comes about a year after the Trump administration changed the name of NIST's AI Safety Institute, pivoting away from “safety.” That organization, which was originally established under the Biden administration, is now called the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. It's also the first news about the consortium in some time. The consortium was established in 2024 alongside the AI Safety Institute as a venue for input from companies, universities, and other organizations on measurement standards for AI safety. NIST is in the headlines once more this week, but not for reasons it's going to be excited about. Department of Commerce inspector general report released Thursday found that the National Institute of Standards and Technology has mismanaged a critical cybersecurity vulnerability database through poor planning, inefficient operations, duplicate federal programs, and failure to communicate with users. The National Vulnerability Database, maintained by NIST since 2005, collects information about computer security flaws and adds details like severity ratings and affected products. This information helps cybersecurity professionals across government and the private sector decide which security problems to fix first. In February 2024, the database's enrichment contract lapsed, creating a backlog of unprocessed security flaws that has only grown worse. The report identified the lack of strategic planning as a core problem. NIST leaders admitted they had no long-term plan for clearing the backlog, even as it grew from about 13,000 unprocessed security flaws in June 2024 to over 27,000 by the end of 2025. NIST publicly promised in May 2024 that it would clear the backlog by September 2024, setting a goal of processing 6,200 security flaws per month, but the agency had never processed more than 5,000 per month in the past.

In this candid team meeting, Bryan — a founder of Kalos Services and a veteran of residential HVAC — gathers his install crew to have an honest conversation about what goes wrong on the job. With summer around the corner and the workload about to spike, Bryan circles back to his roots in residential HVAC to lead a round-table discussion on the pain points his technicians face every single day. Rather than pointing fingers, he opens the floor for every team member to voice the specific frustrations that slow down their installs, and what emerges is a surprisingly consistent list: size and clearance problems, missing small materials, incomplete job photos, and last-minute schedule changes that leave crews scrambling before they even pull out of the shop. Bryan draws on his own humble origins as a one-man operation hauling equipment on a Gladiator trailer — doing installs, service calls, and waste runs all in the same day — to remind his team that chaos is not inevitable; it is the byproduct of poor process. He is refreshingly self-aware, admitting that he was a very bad installer who routinely showed up with equipment that did not fit the space. That honesty sets the tone for the entire session: this is not a lecture about accountability, but a collaborative problem-solving conversation about building repeatable systems that prevent the same mistakes from happening over and over again. As Bryan frames it, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result — and right now, the team is living that cycle. The heart of the session focuses on a three-phase planning framework: what should be done the night before a job, what should happen at the shop before the crew leaves, and what needs to occur during the first 30 minutes on-site. Bryan emphasizes that skipping proper measurements and job photos should carry the same weight as failing an inspection or leaving a refrigerant leak — because the downstream cost is just as real. He breaks down the two categories of mistakes that are truly unacceptable for any installer: refrigerant leaks from improper brazing, and water leaks from poorly executed drain lines. No amount of clean workmanship makes up for either of those failures, and he walks the crew through the non-negotiable steps — pressure testing and bubble solution on every single joint — that prevent them. Bryan wraps up by tying individual preparation habits to the bigger picture of company growth. He acknowledges that last-minute installs and mid-job equipment runs may never fully disappear, but that investing 15 minutes the evening before and 30 minutes on arrival creates a compounding tipping point effect — over time, the crew gains back hours, reduces surprises, and frees up the time that matters most: commissioning the system properly. Checklists, he argues, are not about turning skilled tradespeople into robots; they are about transferring institutional knowledge to the next generation of technicians and ensuring that nothing critical gets overlooked, no matter how many times you have done the job before. Topics Covered Common install-day problems surfaced in a round-table with the install crew Equipment size and clearance issues — why measurements matter before the truck leaves the shop The critical role of detailed job photos in preventing on-site surprises Missing small materials (wire nuts, spray foam, surge protectors, breakers) and how to stock proactively Scope and de-scope review: aligning the proposal with the homeowner before work begins Bryan's three-phase planning framework: the night before, at the shop, and on arrival Why refrigerant leaks and drain-line failures are the two non-negotiable mistakes to eliminate Pressure testing and bubble solution as a standard, every-joint practice The role of checklists in training new technicians and preserving institutional knowledge Handling last-minute installs and the logistics of getting equipment to the job site Condenser access obstacles — bushes, parking, property layout — and how to communicate with homeowners Faulty or missing parts out of the box and strategies for catching them early Panel rework and surprise platform rebuilds: planning for the unexpected How improved preparation leads to better commissioning time at the end of every job Building a culture of process over blame — poor planning is a system problem, not a people problem Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
