Before Patty Hearst appeared as an actress in John Waters' movies, she captivated America on the silver screen as a hostage terrorized by the Symbionese Liberation Army. When the newspaper heiress was kidnapped by the radical organization in 1974, the country sympathized with her plight. But after just a few months, the SLA's guns weren't pointing at Patty anymore. Suddenly, Patty was firing her own weapons during fistfights and bank robberies as a member of the same terrorist group that once kept her locked in a closet. In court, Patty claimed she was brainwashed and that she played along for her own safety. It's true that Patty Hearst gave the performance of a lifetime — but we still don't know which part of her life was the performance.

Catastrophic cloudbursts are already reshaping Copenhagen. Instead of hiding the problem underground in massive pipes, what if rainwater could be used to improve everyday life in the city?  In this episode, host Michael Booth meets Mette Skjold, CEO and senior partner at landscape architecture studio SLA, to explore the transformation of Bispeparken, a former stretch of anonymous lawn turned into a nature-based climate adaptation project. Designed to manage extreme rainfall, the park uses bioswales, terrain and planting to slow and store water, while creating new spaces for play, rest and community life.  The conversation shows how landscape architecture can turn billion-euro flooding risks into a quality-of-life bonus, and why starting with nature may be the key to building more resilient, liveable cities.  Guest: Mette Skjold, CEO & Senior Partner, SLA  Host: Michael Booth  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center.

What does autonomous IT really look like when you move beyond the slideware and start wiring systems together in the real world? At Dynatrace Perform in Las Vegas, I sat down with Pablo Stern, EVP and GM of Technology Workflow Products at ServiceNow, to unpack exactly that. Pablo leads the teams focused on CIOs and CISOs, building the workflows and security products that sit at the heart of modern IT organizations. From service desks and command centers to risk and asset management, his remit is clear: enable AI to work for people, not the other way around. We began with ServiceNow's deepening multi-year partnership with Dynatrace. While the announcement made headlines, Pablo was quick to point out that the real story starts with customers. This collaboration is rooted in a shared goal of helping joint customers reduce outages, improve SLA adherence, and shrink mean time to resolution. The vision of autonomous IT operations is not about hype. It is about connecting observability data with deterministic workflows so that insight can evolve into coordinated, system-level action. Pablo walked me through the maturity curve he sees emerging. First came AI-powered insight, summarizing data and surfacing signals from noise. Then came task automation, drafting knowledge articles, paging teams, triggering predefined playbooks. The next step, and the one that excites him most, is orchestrated autonomy. That means stitching together skills, agents, and workflows into systems that can drive end-to-end outcomes. It is a journey measured in years, not months, and it depends as much on digitizing process and building trust as it does on technology. We also explored root cause analysis, still one of the biggest time drains in IT. By combining Dynatrace's AI-driven observability with ServiceNow's workflow engine, enterprises can automate forensic steps, correlate events faster, and shorten the time spent on major incident bridges where teams debate ownership. Even incremental improvements in accuracy can save hours when incidents strike. Trust, of course, remains central. Pablo was candid that full self-healing systems are still some distance away. What we will see first is relief automation, controlled failovers, scripted actions suggested by machines but approved by humans. Over time, as confidence grows and processes become fully digitized, the balance will shift. Beyond the technology, a consistent theme ran through our conversation. Outcomes have not changed. Enterprises still want higher availability, faster resolution, better employee experiences. What is changing is the how. ServiceNow is reimagining its platform to deliver those outcomes at a much higher standard, not through incremental tweaks, but through rethinking workflows for an AI-first world. From design partnerships with banks building pre-flight change checks, to internal teams acting as the toughest customers, this was a grounded, practical conversation about where autonomous operations are headed and what it will take to get there. If you are a CIO, CISO, or IT leader wondering how to move from theory to execution, this episode offers a clear-eyed look behind the curtain.      

Three weeks. No verified ransom demand. No authenticated contact. A family publicly willing to pay — and silence on the other end. True Crime Today's Tony Brueski examines the criminal history patterns that suggest Nancy Guthrie's abduction may have never been about money at all.Using three landmark cases — the obsessive targeting of John Lennon by Mark David Chapman, Danny Rolling's calculated performance in Gainesville, and the SLA's abduction of Patty Hearst where demands were designed to humiliate rather than collect — Tony builds a framework for understanding what happens when a perpetrator's goal is power, pain, or control rather than a payday.The crime scene evidence is deliberate and specific. The silence is telling. And the investigative framework changes completely depending on which kind of crime this actually is.Daily coverage. Real analysis.

If you've ever wondered how Oracle Database really works inside AWS, this episode will finally turn the lights on.   Join Senior Principal OCI Instructor Susan Jang as she explains the two database services available (Exadata Database Service and Autonomous Database), how Oracle and AWS share responsibilities behind the scenes, and which essential tasks still land on your plate after deployment.   You'll discover how automation, scaling, and security actually work, and which model best fits your needs, whether you want hands-off simplicity or deeper control.   Oracle Database@AWS Architect Professional: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-databaseaws-architect-professional/155574 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, Anna Hulkower, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   ------------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript:   00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26   Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption with Customer Success Services, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University.  Nikita: Hi everyone! In our last episode, we began the discussion on Oracle Database@AWS. Today, we're diving deeper into the database services that are available in this environment. Susan Jang, our Senior Principal OCI Instructor, joins us once again.  00:56 Lois: Hi Susan! Thanks for being here today. In our last conversation, we compared Oracle Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service. Can you elaborate on the fundamental differences between these two services?     Susan: Now, the primary difference is between the service is really the management model. The Autonomous is fully-managed by Oracle, while the Exadata provides flexibility for you to have the ability to customize your database environment while still having the infrastructure be managed by Oracle.   01:30 Nikita: When it comes to running Oracle Database@AWS, how do Oracle and AWS each chip in? Could you break down what each provider is responsible for in this setup?  Susan: Oracle Database@AWS is a collaboration between Oracle, as well as AWS. It allows the customer to deploy and run Oracle Database services, including the Oracle Autonomous Database and the Oracle Exadata Database Service directly in AWS data centers.   Oracle provides the ability of having the Oracle Exadata Database Service on a dedicated infrastructure. This service delivers full capabilities of Oracle Exadata Database on the Oracle Exadata hardware. It offers high performance and high security for demanding workloads. It has cloud automation, resource scaling, and performance optimization to simplify the management of the service.  Oracle Autonomous Database on the dedicated Exadata infrastructure provides a fully Autonomous Database on this dedicated infrastructure within AWS. It automates the database management tasks, including patching, backups, as well as tuning, and have built-in AI capabilities for developing AI-powered applications and interacting with data using natural language. The Oracle Database@AWS integrates those core database services with various AWS services for a comprehensive unified experience.  AWS provides the ability of having a cloud-based object storage, and that would be the Amazon S3. You also have the ability to have other services, such as the Amazon CloudWatch. It monitors the database metrics, as well as performance. You also have Amazon Bedrock. It provides a development environment for a generative AI application.   And last but not the least, amongst the many other services, you also have the SageMaker. This is a cloud-based platform for development of machine learning models, a wonderful integration with our AI application development needs.  03:54 Lois: How has the work involved in setting up and managing databases changed over time?  Susan: When we take a look at the evolution of how things have changed through the years in our systems, we realize that transfer responsibility has now been migrated more from customer or human interaction to services. As the database technology evolves from the traditional on-premise system to the Exadata engineered system, and finally to the Autonomous Database, certain services previously requiring significant manual intervention has become increasingly automated, as well as optimized.  04:34 Lois: How so?  Susan: When we take a look at the more traditional database environment, it requires manual configuration of hardware, operating system, as well as the software of the database, along with initial database creation. As we evolve into the Exadata environment, the Exadata Database, specifically the Exadata cloud service, simplifies provisioning through web-based wizard, making it faster and easier to deploy the Oracle Database in an optimized hardware.     But when we move it to an Autonomous environment, it automates the entire provisioning process, allowing users to rapidly deploy mission-critical databases without manual intervention, or DBA involvement. So as customers move toward Autonomous Database through Exadata, we have fewer components that the customer needs to manage in the database stack, which gives them more time to focus more on important parts of the business.  With the Exadata Database, it provides a co-management of backup, restore, patches and upgrade, monitoring, and tuning. And it allows the administrator the ability to customize the configuration to meet their very specific business needs. With Autonomous Database, it's now fully automated and it's a greater responsibility is shift toward the service. With Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure, it provides that fine-grained tuning more for Oracle to help you perform that task.  06:15 Nikita: If we narrow it down just to Oracle and AWS for a moment, which parts of the infrastructure or day-to-day ops are handled by each company behind the scenes?  Susan: When we take a look at Oracle Database@AWS, it operates under a shared responsibility model, dividing the service responsibilities between AWS, as well as Oracle, as well as you, the customer.   The AWS has the data center. Remember, this is where everything is running. The Oracle Database@AWS, the Oracle Database infrastructure may be managed by Oracle and run in OCI, but is physically located within the AWS regions, as well as the availability zones and the AWS data centers.  The AWS infrastructure, in this case, is AWS's responsibility to secure the environment, including the physical security of the data center, the network infrastructure, and the foundational services like the compute, the storage, and the networking, all within AWS.  The next thing of who's responsible for the shared responsibility, it's Oracle. And that would be the hardware. We provide the hardware. While the hardware may physically reside in the AWS data center, Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure operational team will be the one managing this infrastructure, including software patching, infrastructure update, and other operations through a connection to OCI. This means Oracle handles the provisioning, as well as the maintenance of any of the underlying Exadata infrastructure hardware.  When we take a look at the next thing that it manages, it is also responsible besides the infrastructure of the Exadata. It is also the ability to manage the hardware, the environment of that hardware through the database control plane. So Oracle manages the administration and the operational for the Oracle Database@AWS service, which resides in OCI. So this includes the capabilities for management, upgrade, and operational features.  08:37 Nikita: And what are the key things that still remain on the customer's plate?   Susan: If you are in an Exadata environment or in an Autonomous environment, it is you, the customer, who is responsible for most of the database administration operation, as well as managing the users and the privileges of the user to access the database. No one knows the database and who should be accessing the data better than you.  You will be responsible for securing the applications, the data of the database, which now allows you to define who has access to it, control the data encryption, and securing the application that interacts with the Oracle Database@AWS.  09:29 Lois: Susan, we've talked about both Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service being available on Oracle Database@AWS, but what's different about how each works in this environment, and why might someone pick one over the other?  Susan: Both databases, even though they run on the same Exadata Cloud Infrastructure, both can be deployed on both public cloud, as well as the customer data center, which is Oracle Cloud@Customer.  The Autonomous Database is a fully managed, completely automated environment. And this provides a capability of having a fully Autonomous Database Service running on a dedicated Oracle Exadata Infrastructure within your AWS data center.  The Exadata is a service that is provided and managed by Oracle and is physically running in the AWS data center, but is designed for mission critical workload and includes RAC environment, Real Application Cluster, offering a high performance availability and full feature capability that is similar to other Exadata environment, such as those running in our customers' data center.  The primary difference is really between the two services. When you take a look at the Exadata, the customer only pays for the compute resources that is used. Autoscaling can be used for a variety or variable resources, the workload, to automatically scale to the compute resources up or down when required.  The Autonomous Database also has automatic optimization for data warehousing, transaction processing, as well as JSON workload. The Exadata service, the customer again, also pays for the compute resources that they allocate. But that's the key thing. The customer can initiate the scaling because it's very specific to the workload that is needed.  So when you take a look at the two database services, one gives the ability to let Oracle fully manage it, including the scaling capability. The other, the Exadata, provides you the capability of having the environment that it's running on the infrastructure be managed by Oracle that adds a database administrator. You may wish to have a little bit more granular control of how you want the database to not only be scaling, but how you wish to customize how the database will be running.  12:10 Nikita: Focusing on Autonomous Database for a moment, what should teams know about how it actually runs within AWS?   Susan: The Autonomous Database on the Oracle Database@AWS brings the power of the Oracle's self-managing, self-securing, and self-repairing database into your AWS environment.  It provides the capability of the database automatically, automates many of the traditional, complex, and time-consuming database management tasks, such as the provisioning of the database, the patching, the backing up, and the scaling, and the performance tuning, reducing the need for any manual intervention by the database administrator.  Running the Autonomous Database in your AWS region enables low latency access for your AWS applications and services that is deployed within AWS, thus improving performance and response time. With the Autonomous Database, it automates many of the traditional things that is now automatically done by Oracle. It also supports integration with various AWS services, such as the ability of the not in addition to AIM, but the cloud formation, the CloudWatch for monitoring and the S3 for the storage.  You can easily migrate existing Exadata workload, including those running on Oracle RAC to AWS with minimum or no change to any of your databases or applications. In addition, there's a really powerful capability and feature of the database is called zero ETL, and that's zero extract, transformation, and load.  It's an integration capability with services like your Amazon Redshift, enabling near real time analytics and machine learning on your transactional database that is stored within the Autonomous Database on in your AWS environment. So with the Autonomous Database, it checks off many of the boxes for automatic capability, securing, tuning, as well as scaling the database.  With the Autonomous Database in the Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure, the Exadata Cloud Infrastructure resource represents the physical system, which can be expanded with storage, as well as compute services, the compute host. This now provides the ability to have an isolated zone for the highest protection from other tenants. The data is stored on a dedicated server only for one customer. That would be you.  14:56 Lois: Could you explain the role of Autonomous VM? What are its primary benefits?  Susan: The virtual machine or as we refer to them as the cluster, includes the grid infrastructure and provides a private network isolation. This provides you the capability of having custom memory, core, and storage allocation.  The Oracle Grid Infrastructure includes the Oracle Clusterware, which manages the cluster, as well as the servers, and ensure that the database can failover to another server in case of any failure.  15:34 Be a part of something big by joining the Oracle University Learning Community!

Susan, what is the Autonomous Container Database?  Susan: With the Autonomous Container Database, and you need that if you're going to create an Autonomous Database, you need to provision that within your Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster. It serves as a container to hold or to house one or more Autonomous Databases.  This allows multiple Autonomous Databases to coexist in the same infrastructure while still being logically separated. And this allows for the separation of databases based on their intended use. Think of a database for production. Think of a database for development. Think of a database for testing. You may have different database versions within the same infrastructure.  This isolation makes it easier for you to be able to meet your SLA, your Service Level Agreement, any long-term backups you may have, very specific encryption key needs to prevent issues from one database impacting another. So, the ability to have everything be isolated and secure is still grouping it in a manner that will meet your business needs.  17:08 Lois: Looking at Exadata Database Service specifically, what are some standout advantages for customers who deploy it on Oracle Database@AWS? Is there anything in particular they should get excited about in terms of performance or integration with AWS?  Susan: The Exadata Database Service is running on a dedicated Exadata Infrastructure that's deployed within your AWS data center. It delivers the same Exadata service experience in cloud control planes as the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, allowing you to leverage existing skills and processing across your multi-cloud environment.  It addresses the data resiliency, or residency rather. And that's the scenario where many of our customers has the need. You have a need because of your security compliance to have the data local to you. By having the Exadata Database in your Oracle Database@AWS, it is running in your data center. So, this addresses that very important need, data residency, to have it close to you.  It also allows for seamless integration with other AWS services and applications. So now you have a capability of a hybrid cloud architecture leveraging the benefit of both Oracle Exadata and your AWS system. It has built-in high availability, the RAC application cluster, as well as Data Guard, a capability of addressing disaster recovery capability.  This also provides the ability for you to scale your compute, as well as your storage and your I/O resources independently. So as mentioned with Exadata, you have flexibility of how you want your database to be running individually. So just like the Autonomous, the Exadata Database checks off many of the boxes for running a mission-critical with high availability, highly redundant hardware and software features, along with extreme performance, scalability, and reliability.  This now allows you to run your AI environment, your online transaction processing, your analytic workload on any scale on the Exadata Infrastructure running in the Oracle Cloud. And in this case, running in your data center.  19:45 Nikita: If a business suddenly needs more capacity, how does scaling work with Exadata Database Service versus Autonomous Database on Oracle Database@AWS?   Susan: So with the Exadata scaling, you now can scale to meet expected demands so you know at certain point I will need more. I will then ask it to scale at that point when I will assign it-- and I'm using an example, I will assign it three computer cores all the time. But there may be demands. Think of your end of the quarter, end of the year processing that you may need more. So, you are enabling the compute cores to scale at the time you need it.  And what's cool is it will then, when it's no longer needed, it will then scale back down to the original three cores that you assign. So, you only pay for the enabled cores. But what's very cool about the Autonomous is that it is real-time scaling. So, with Autonomous, now you have the capability using Autonomous Database since it is self-tuning, self-monitoring, the Autonomous Database actually monitors the workload requirement and scales to match the workload demand.  Once the minimum level of the compute is defined and enabled, the automatic scaling is set. Autonomous Database will adjust to the consumption when it's needed, and it will scale back down when it's not. So though the Exadata is pretty cool, it will scale up and down on the workload demand.  This is with the Autonomous is even more powerful. It is real-time scaling based on that usage at that moment. Built-in automatic increase to meet the workload demands when it spikes and it automatically scales back when it's not needed.  A very powerful capability with all of our Oracle databases, the ability, even with traditional, to allow you to define what you may need with Exadata scaling for peak demands, as well as Autonomous scaling for real-time consumption and scaling when needed.  When you look at all of our options, one of the key things to bear in mind is a phrase that we use: performance scale as more servers are added. And what this is really saying is Oracle's automated scaling ability for the database, it basically has the ability to maintain or improve its performance under increased workload by automatically adding computational resources when needed.  This process is also known as horizontal scaling. It involves adding more servers, compute instances, to a cluster to share the processing load. And it has that capability automatically.  22:53 Nikita: There's so much more we can discuss about Oracle Database@AWS, but let's pause here for today! Thank you so much Susan for joining us.  Lois: Yeah, it's been really great to have you, Susan.

The real question is how fast each side of this ongoing cat-and-mouse game can respond. Let us take an example of web applications. In the decade-long slog of the cloud, federal users migrated to web-based applications protected by Web Application Firewalls (WAFs). firewalls. As that method matured, malicious observers noted that the Application Programming Interface (API) allowed these software programs to communicate and exchange data. Voila, another attack vector was born. During today's interview, Joe Henry from Akamai Technologies notes that 80% of their customers report API attacks. Henry details a curious term called "Broken-Object Level Authorization." In this attack, an application fails to check if a user is authorized to access specific data objects. The ID is manipulated, and the malicious actor gets access. Akamai's API Security performs behavioral analysis beyond WAFs, flags PII exposure, and supports a zero-trust posture. Software developers talk about a "shift left"; we apply that to the Akamai approach. They have a worldwide network of Points of Presence (POPs) and data centers where they can observe attacks as they develop. It is so strong that it provides fail-open resilience with a 100% SLA. Akamai provides a State of the Internet Report (quarterly).

Desde aquella mañana en que abrió los ojos, levantó las cobijas y su hija ya no estaba, hasta los cinco días que la tuvieron detenida cuando fue ella misma a denunciar la desaparición. Los cuatro años de búsqueda sin respuestas. La declaración que dio contra su propio esposo bajo presión de una activista. El segundo arresto, frente a su hija menor, en plena calle. Los seis meses en una prisión donde la llamaban "la que descuartizó a su hija". Y el regreso a casa, hace apenas dos semanas, con un brazalete y la misma pregunta sin respuesta.Esta es una historia sobre el dolor de no saber.

The Five-Phase Sales Solution Cadence: Facts, Benefits, Applications, Evidence, Trial Close When you've done proper discovery—asked loads of questions about where the buyer is now and where they want to be—you earn the right to propose a solution. But here's the kicker: sometimes the right move is to walk away. If you force a partial or wrong-fit solution, you might "grab the dough" short-term, but you'll torch trust and reputation—the two assets that don't come back easily.  Below is a search-friendly, buyer-proof cadence you can run in any market—**Japan vs **United States, SME vs enterprise, B2B services vs SaaS—especially post-pandemic when procurement teams want clarity, proof, and outcomes, not fluffy feature parades. How do you know if your solution genuinely fits the buyer (and when should you walk away)? You know it fits when you can map your solution to their stated outcomes—and prove it—without twisting the facts. If the buyer needs an outcome you can't deliver, the ethical (and commercially smart) play is: "We can't help you with that." In 2024–2026, buyers are savvier and more risk-aware. They'll check reviews, ask peers, and sanity-test claims through AI search tools and internal stakeholder scrutiny. In high-trust cultures (including Japan) and high-compliance industries (finance, health, critical infrastructure), a wrong-fit sale becomes a reputational boomerang. The deal closes once; the story travels forever. Do now: Write a one-page "fit test": buyer outcomes → your capability → evidence. If any outcome can't be supported, qualify out fast.  What does "facts" mean in a modern B2B sales conversation? Facts are the provable mechanics—features, specs, process steps, constraints—and the proof that they work. Facts aren't the goal; they're the credibility scaffolding. Salespeople often drown here: endless micro-detail, endless Q&A, endless spreadsheets. Yes, analytical buyers (engineering-led firms, CFO-led committees) will pull you into the weeds—but remember: they aren't buying the process. They're buying the outcome from the process. Bring facts that de-risk the decision: implementation timelines, security posture (SOC 2/ISO), uptime/SLA history, integration limits, and measurable performance benchmarks. Then move on before you get stuck. Do now: Prepare a "facts pack" with 5–7 proof points (not 57 features). Use it to earn trust, then pivot to outcomes.  How do you turn features into benefits buyers will actually pay for? Benefits are the "so what"—the measurable results the buyer gets because the feature exists. If you can't link a feature to an outcome, it's just trivia. A weight, colour, dimension, workflow, dashboard, or AI model is not valuable by itself. It becomes valuable when it improves a KPI: reduced cycle time, fewer defects, higher conversion, lower churn, faster onboarding, better safety, tighter compliance. This is where classic sales thinking still holds up—think **SPIN Selling and the buyer's implied needs: pain, impact, and value. In a tight 2025 budget environment, "nice-to-have" benefits die quickly; "must-have" outcomes survive. Do now: For every top feature, write one sentence: "This enables ___, which improves ___ by ___ within ___ days." If you can't fill the blanks, drop the feature from your pitch.  What is the "application of benefits" and how do you make it real inside their business? Application is where benefits turn into daily operational reality—what changes in workflow, decisions, and results.This is the "rubber meets the road" layer. Don't just say "we improve productivity." Show where it lands: which meetings get shorter, which approvals disappear, which roles stop firefighting, which customers get served faster, which errors are prevented, and what leaders see weekly on dashboards. Compare contexts: a startup may care about speed and cash runway; a multinational may care about governance, change management, and multi-region rollouts. A consumer business might chase conversion and NPS; a B2B industrial firm might chase downtime reduction and safety incidents. Do now: Build a simple "Before → After" map for their week: processes eliminated, expanded, improved—and who owns each change.  What counts as credible evidence (and what "proof" actually convinces buyers)? Credible evidence is specific, comparable, and close to the buyer's reality—same industry, similar scale, similar constraints. "Trust me" is not evidence. Bring proof that survives scrutiny: reference customers, quantified case studies, independent reviews, pilot results, and implementation artefacts (plans, timelines, adoption metrics). The closer the comparison company is to the buyer, the more persuasive it becomes. This is also where storytelling matters: not hype—narrative. Who was involved? What went wrong? What changed? What were the numbers before and after? Analysts like **Gartner or **Forrester can help with category credibility, but a near-peer success story usually seals confidence. Do now: Collect 3 "mirror case studies" (similar buyer profiles) and write them as short stories: problem → actions → results → lessons.  How do you do a trial close without sounding pushy or sleazy? A trial close is a simple comprehension-and-comfort check that invites objections early—before you ask for the order. Done right, it's calm, not clingy. After you've walked through facts → benefits → application → evidence, ask: "How does that sound so far?" Then shut up. Silence is a tool. If they raise objections, good—interest is alive, and you can add pinpoint proof. If they say nothing (or go vague), start worrying: they may have already mentally deleted you as an option. This is the moment to clarify, re-anchor to outcomes, and confirm next steps in the sales cycle. Do now: Use one trial close per phase. Treat objections as data, not drama, and log them into your CRM as themes to address.  Conclusion: the cadence that keeps you credible and gets you paid This five-phase cadence works because it respects how adults buy: they need proof, relevance, and a clear path from "today" to "better." Keep the sequence tight—facts, then benefits, then application, then evidence, then a trial close—and you'll avoid the two killers of modern selling: feature-dumps and wishful thinking.  Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

La constante de Marchetti est un concept issu de l'urbanisme et de la géographie humaine, proposé par l'ingénieur et chercheur italien Cesare Marchetti dans les années 1990. Elle décrit une observation étonnamment stable à travers les époques et les civilisations :? Les êtres humains consacrent en moyenne environ une heure par jour aux déplacements quotidiens, notamment entre leur domicile et leur lieu de travail.Cette durée — environ 60 minutes aller-retour — semble remarquablement constante, que l'on vive dans une ville antique, une métropole moderne ou une mégapole contemporaine.D'où vient cette idée ?Marchetti a analysé des données historiques et contemporaines portant sur :Les villes romainesLes cités médiévalesLes villes industriellesLes métropoles modernesIl a constaté que, malgré des moyens de transport très différents (marche, cheval, tramway, voiture, métro, train), le temps moyen quotidien de déplacement reste proche d'une heure.Ce n'est pas la distance parcourue qui est constante, mais bien le temps accepté.Pourquoi cette constance ?L'explication principale est biologique et psychologique.Les humains semblent avoir une tolérance limitée au temps passé en déplacement. Au-delà d'un certain seuil, les trajets deviennent perçus comme trop fatigants, trop coûteux mentalement et socialement.Autrement dit, nous organisons inconsciemment nos choix de vie autour de ce budget-temps :Choix du logementChoix du travailChoix du mode de transportSi un trajet dépasse trop souvent ce seuil, les gens cherchent à déménager, changer d'emploi ou modifier leurs habitudes.Une conséquence surprenanteQuand les moyens de transport deviennent plus rapides, on ne réduit pas forcément le temps de trajet…? On augmente la distance parcourue.Exemples :Avec la marche : on habite près du travail.Avec le train ou la voiture : on peut vivre plus loin.Avec les transports rapides : les villes s'étalent.Résultat : les villes s'agrandissent, mais le temps de trajet moyen reste proche d'une heure.Ce que cela révèle sur nos sociétésLa constante de Marchetti suggère que :Le progrès technique ne libère pas automatiquement du tempsIl transforme surtout l'organisation de l'espaceL'étalement urbain est en partie une conséquence directe de transports plus rapidesElle remet en question l'idée que des transports toujours plus performants réduisent mécaniquement la contrainte des déplacements.La constante de Marchetti affirme que l'être humain accepte un budget quotidien de transport d'environ une heure, quelles que soient l'époque et la technologie.Une idée simple, mais puissante, qui montre que certaines limites ne sont pas techniques… mais profondément humaines.

In surgical residency, cases are long, expectations are high, and patient care always comes first. But then you become a parent, and suddenly you're navigating pregnancy risk, parental leave, and lactation logistics in a system that wasn't built for it. We've made meaningful progress over the past decade, but too many trainees still face becoming parents in residency without clear, consistent support. In this episode, join Dr. Kara Button with Dr. Arielle Kanters and Dr. Sarah Shubeck as they ask: How do we build a surgical workforce that's skilled, resilient—and genuinely supported as surgeon-parents? They'll share practical, evidence-based steps programs can take to make parental support the norm—not the exception.Hosts:Kara Button, DO — General Surgery Resident, Maine Medical Center; Behind the Knife Surgical Education FellowArielle Kanters, MD — Colorectal Surgeon; Associate Program Director, Colorectal Surgery Fellowship, Cleveland ClinicDr. Sarah Shubeck, MD — Assistant Professor of Surgery; Breast Surgical Oncologist, University of ChicagoReferences:Bamdad MC, Hughes DT, Englesbe M.

You're in the middle of surgical residency, and you realize you need more than a few weeks away from clinical responsibilities. Maybe you need more time to be a parent, recover from an illness, care for family, learn a new skill, or simply create space to reflect and reset. What if you could complete five years of training over six calendar years by spreading that time out in a way that fits your life?  Join Dr. Kara Button with Dr. Joe Buyske, and Dr. Bridget Olson as they break down the 5-in-6 pathway including how it works, who it's for, and the real-world logistics that matter.Hosts:Kara Button, DO — General Surgery Resident, Maine Medical Center; Behind the Knife Surgical Education FellowJo Buyske, MD — President & CEO, American Board of SurgeryDr. Bridget Olsen, MD — General Surgery Resident, Maine Medical CenterReferences: Bamdad MC, Hughes DT, Englesbe M.

En Chine, on estime qu'il existe aujourd'hui environ 4 000 noms de famille différents réellement en usage.Selon les sources et la façon de compter (variantes d'écriture, noms minoritaires, noms composés à deux caractères), on trouve des estimations allant d'environ 3 100 patronymes courants jusqu'à 6 000+ au total. Historiquement, la Chine a pourtant connu près de 12 000 noms recensés dans les textes anciens, mais une grande partie a disparu ou s'est fondue dans d'autres.En France, c'est l'inverse : la diversité est immense. On parle généralement de 1,2 à 1,5 million de noms de famille distincts si l'on compte toutes les graphies et variantes (ex : Dupont/Dupond, ou les noms avec/sans accents), et de plusieurs centaines de milliers de noms réellement portés de façon significative.En Chine, c'est un phénomène très frappant, mais il s'explique assez bien.1) Les noms chinois se sont fixés très tôtEn Chine, le nom de famille (姓) existe depuis l'Antiquité et structure la société en clans et lignages. Le système est donc ancien, stable et très codifié.En Europe, au contraire, les noms se sont fixés tard : beaucoup de gens n'avaient pas de patronyme héréditaire avant le Moyen Âge ou même l'époque moderne. Résultat : plus de diversité.2) Beaucoup de noms ont été “absorbés”Au fil des siècles, lors de guerres, migrations ou changements de dynastie, des familles ont souvent abandonné un nom rare pour adopter un nom plus commun ou prestigieux (par protection, par intégration sociale, ou pour se fondre dans la population).Cela a “compressé” la diversité des patronymes.3) Standardisation administrativeL'État impérial chinois a été très tôt un État bureaucratique : recensements, registres, examens… Les noms ont été normalisés, et les variantes locales ont souvent été uniformisées. Ce qui est rare, mal enregistré ou trop complexe finit par disparaître.4) Des noms très courts, donc moins de possibilitésLa plupart des noms chinois sont à un seul caractère : Wang, Li, Zhang…Les noms à deux caractères existent, mais sont minoritaires. Moins de combinaisons = plus de concentration. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Foundations of Amateur Radio On your amateur radio journey, you'll likely discover that many transceivers run on 13.8 volt DC, give or take. For example my FT-857d requires 13.8 volt plus or minus 15 percent, with a negative ground, and a current draw of 22 ampere, more on that later. In other words, the power supply needs to be between about 11.7 and 15.9 volts, the same voltage that runs most vehicles with some wiggle room for fluctuating alternator charging cycles. While some radios will absolutely fit in your car, there's plenty where that just isn't the case, even though they're set-up for a 13.8 volt power supply. You might think of it as an anachronism, a few steps removed from spark gap transmitters, but there's more to the story. Most residential power grids run on AC power, at varying voltages and frequencies between 50 and 60 Hz. Across the world there's eight different AC voltages in use between 100 and 240 volts. Some countries use more than one combination and I haven't even looked at three phase power. Perhaps 13.8 volt DC isn't looking quite as odd. With this revelation comes the need to actually have 13.8 volt available in your shack. Converting your grid power to something you can plug your gear into requires some form of transformation, typically achieved with a power supply. Efficient, cheap and plentiful, the switch mode power supply is the most common. Built to a price, they're also often noisy, not just the fan, but noisy from a radio emissions perspective. Amateur radio has very sensitive receivers and as a result you can often hear, or see if you have a waterfall display, RF birdies, a sound reminiscent of a budgie whistling, every 100 kHz or so across the whole radio spectrum. Not something most other equipment cares about, so you're often left to fend for yourself in figuring out how to deal with this phenomenon. There's plenty of filtering techniques and circuits to be found and some of them even work, but for my money, I'd spend it on a power supply that doesn't make noise in the first place. A regulated power supply maintains a constant output voltage or current, regardless of variations in load or input voltage. An unregulated power supply can wander all over the place. Adjustable power supplies allow you to set the voltage, amperage, or both, sometimes with knobs, sometimes using external controls. At this point you might decide that this is all too hard and you want to do away with all this complexity and use a Sealed Lead Acid, or SLA battery, after all, that's what the 13.8 volt is based on, but then you'll need to charge it. Similarly, picking any battery technology requires some form of charging. Another word for charger is: power supply, often a switch mode one, and likely not filtered in any way that matters to you, since batteries, and for that matter solar power inverters, are unlikely to care about RF birdies. I will make mention of linear power supplies. When I started on this journey, this was the strong recommendation from my peers as the most desirable option. Although they're significantly less efficient than switch mode power supplies, only 30 percent versus better than 80 percent, from an RF perspective, they're extremely quiet. Of course, the lack of efficiency reveals itself in the form of heat, which necessitates the application of cooling, from a fan, often a very noisy fan. One potential source of power supply is a computer power supply unit or PSU. Before you go down that route, consider that they're intended for installation inside a case, often generate various voltages at very specific current draws and are not typically known for being RF quiet. After weighing up all the variables, I chose a laboratory grade switch mode current limiting adjustable power supply. It's set to 13.8 volt and it sits on my desk doing its thing. Rated at 1 to 15 volts at 40 ampere, it's now as old as I am in amateur radio terms, well and truly a teenager, it's also overkill, by quite a margin. Remember when I mentioned that my FT-857d is rated at drawing 22 ampere? As a QRP or low power station I typically use my transmitter set to 5 watt, but even when others use it at full power, I have never ever seen it draw more than 12 ampere. That's not to say that it can't draw 22, I've just never seen it. As a benefit of having such a massive overkill in the specifications of my power supply, I can power more than one radio and not notice. Not that they're all transmitting at the same time, or using more than 5 watt, it just doesn't matter. I previously discussed setting a standard for coax connectors in the shack, the same is true for deciding what to pick for power supply connectors. In my case I chose Anderson Powerpole connectors. Pins come in 15, 30 and 45 ampere ratings, are genderless and housings are available in many different colours. When I say genderless, it means that you can join two identical connectors. Within my shack, I use the RACES or ARES Powerpole wiring standard and every single 13.8 volt connection uses it. If I get new gear that uses some other connector, I'll cut the power supply wire in half and terminate both the power supply and the cut off cable using Powerpole connectors. That way my gear will connect to my own power supply and I'll have a universal adaptor cable when I need it. Over the years I've collected an impressive array of adaptors using this method and it's helped immensely when sharing gear with other amateurs. Word of warning, make sure you get positive and negative the right way around when you join your Powerpole connectors, and make sure that you have the red and black housings the right way around too, you can thank me later. If you do this more than a few times, I'd recommend that you spend the money on a proper crimping tool. It makes the experience So. Much. Better. To avoid many of the pitfalls of interference whilst connecting power and coax to the same radio, try hard to avoid running both in parallel, or worse, joined to each other. Instead, attempt to run them in different directions and only cross at right angles if you have to. One thing to consider is the ability to switch everything off immediately. To that end I have a power switch on my desk that isolates all power to the equipment. You'll notice that I have not said anything about grounding or earthing, that's on purpose. Your laws and mine are not the same. Similarly, information you'll find online rarely, if ever, describes the jurisdiction it applies to, so, look at your own rules and implement accordingly.

In this inspiring episode of Education Matters, NaShawn Edwards, the founder of Sunrise Learning Academy joins us to to discuss what it truly means to serve students who don't fit the traditional educational mold. NaShawn shares her personal journey navigating undiagnosed ADHD, advocating for six children, and fostering youth who've experienced trauma. Her experiences shaped her vision for a school where confidence, connection, and individualized support come first. Episode Highlights Early Educational Experiences: NaShawn Edwards reflects on transitioning from a small, conservative private school to a large public school in Indianapolis, the challenges she faced, and the relationships that shaped her—especially with supportive school staff like her principal and the janitor. Parenting and Advocacy:With six children, five boys and one girl, NaShawn describes learning styles and personalities as unique as fingerprints. Her hands-on involvement in PTA and school committees was driven by her desire to see real change and advocate for her kids' needs. Classroom Challenges:She discusses how classroom sizes, peer conflict, and chaotic environments contributed to declining confidence and academic progress in her children, particularly those with ADHD and autism. This led her to explore new educational models focused on small class sizes and relationship-driven learning. Foster Care Realities:As a foster parent, NaShawn Edwards encountered children academically behind—some unable to spell their own names in elementary school—making her acutely aware of systemic issues and underscoring the need for trauma-informed instruction. The Birth of Sunrise Learning Academy:Inspired by her foster care experiences, especially working with a young boy not ready for kindergarten, NaShawn Edwards started SLA to deliver individualized, trauma-informed education, and integrate therapeutic services like counseling, speech, and occupational therapy into the school day. Model of Sunrise Learning Academy:SLA integrates standardized curriculum, faith foundations, trauma-informed strategies, and hands-on projects. Multi-age classrooms foster mentorship and leadership, and the intentionally small school atmosphere allows teachers to quickly respond to student needs. Addressing Misconceptions: NaShawn Edwards tackles misconceptions about trauma-impacted learners and emphasizes that her students are resilient and capable—not “bad off.” Push-in therapeutic services at SLA help students and families regain time and access needed support during the school day. Community Collaboration:SLA prioritizes collaboration over competition with other schools. Partnerships with local charter and private schools mean shared resources and joint events, like safe-sitter classes and basketball leagues, strengthening the wider educational community. Bridging Gaps:Resources, tutoring, and relationship-building are key to SLA's strategy so that no child slips through the cracks—whether academic, emotional, or social support is needed.

Estimated reading time: 11 Minuten Recruiting fühlt sich 2026 für viele Mittelständler an wie Vertrieb in einer neuen Disziplin: Der Markt ist in Bewegung, Kandidaten sind wählerisch – und gleichzeitig entstehen wieder Chancen, an richtig gute Leute ranzukommen. Der Haken: Mit „Wir schalten mal eine Anzeige auf der Website" gewinnt heute niemand mehr. Ich habe dazu mit Pia Tischer gesprochen. Sie ist Geschäftsführerin der coveto ATS GmbH – ein deutsches Softwareunternehmen, das seit 25 Jahren Recruiting-Prozesse im Mittelstand digitalisiert („Von KMU für KMU"). coveto wurde u.a. als „Recruiting Champion" und „Recruiter's Liebling" ausgezeichnet (Details). In diesem Beitrag bekommst du die wichtigsten Recruiting Trends 2026 – plus einen klaren Plan, wie du als Mittelständler Top-Kandidaten gewinnst: mit zielgruppengerechten Stellenanzeigen, schnellen Prozessen, Messenger-Bewerbungen (ja: WhatsApp geht – aber bitte sauber) und KI als Turbo, nicht als Autopilot. Recruiting Trends 2026: Der Markt ist heterogen – und genau da liegt deine Chance Erstmal die unbequeme Wahrheit: Es gibt nicht den Arbeitsmarkt. 2026 ist Recruiting je nach Branche, Region und Rolle extrem unterschiedlich. In manchen Bereichen bekommst du weiter kaum Bewerbungen. In anderen Bereichen ist das Pendel spürbar zurückgeschwungen: Unternehmen selektieren wieder stärker, Bewerber müssen wieder sauberer liefern – und genau das eröffnet Chancen für Mittelständler, die ihr Recruiting im Griff haben. Was ich gerade überall sehe Qualität schlägt Quantität: Viele Teams wollen nicht mehr „mehr Bewerbungen", sondern bessere Bewerbungen. Skills-based Recruiting gewinnt: weniger „perfekter Lebenslauf", mehr „passt der Skill-Mix – und lernt die Person schnell?" KI überall: nicht nur im Bewerber-Text, sondern in Prozessen, Auswertung, Kommunikation, Terminierung. Geschwindigkeit entscheidet: Wer schnell reagiert, gewinnt. Wer trödelt, verliert – auch im Mittelstand. Spannend: In einer Übersicht zu den Recruiting Trends 2026 nennt Stepstone als Top-Priorität die Verbesserung der Bewerberqualität (79 %). Außerdem rückt Skills-based Hiring stärker in den Fokus (77 %) – mit mehr Gewicht auf Soft Skills (76 %). Quelle. Und jetzt kommt der Teil, den viele vergessen: Recruiting ist heute viel stärker Marketing und Sales. Du brauchst Reichweite, Positionierung, einen klaren Funnel – und einen Prozess, der nicht bei der ersten Bewerbung zusammenklappt. Recruiting im Mittelstand: Warum du nicht „gegen Konzerne verlierst" Der Mittelstand hat im Recruiting einen unfairen Vorteil – wenn er ihn nutzt. Konzerne haben Budget, aber oft langsame Prozesse. Mittelständler haben kurze Wege, weniger Abstimmungsschleifen und können schneller testen, nachschärfen und entscheiden. Deine größten Trümpfe (wenn du sie sichtbar machst) Tempo: Du kannst innerhalb von Tagen entscheiden, nicht in Wochen. Nähe: Direkter Draht zur Geschäftsführung, echte Verantwortung, weniger Politik. Gestaltungsspielraum: Kandidaten wollen Wirkung – und die gibt's im Mittelstand oft früher. Agilität bei KI & Tools: Du kannst neue Systeme schneller einsetzen als ein Konzern. Aber: Diese Vorteile sieht ein Kandidat nur, wenn du sie konkret machst. Nicht als „familiäres Team", sondern als echte Beispiele: kurze Entscheidungswege, Projekte, Verantwortung, Entwicklung, Flexibilität. Stellenanzeige als Landingpage: Verkaufen wie im E-Commerce Eine Stellenanzeige ist kein Amtsblatt. Sie ist ein Verkaufsdokument. Jede Anzeige muss sich anfühlen wie eine Landingpage – mit klarer Zielgruppe, klaren Benefits und einem einfachen nächsten Schritt. Recruiting nicht mehr aus der Gießkanne 2026 funktioniert Recruiting nicht mehr „one size fits all". Du musst dir pro Zielgruppe beantworten: Wo erreicht ihr diese Menschen wirklich? Welche Sprache verstehen sie – fachlich und emotional? Was ist der schnellste, niedrigschwellige Weg zur Bewerbung? Beispiel 1: Gewerbliche Rollen (Produktion, Logistik, Pflege) Hier gewinnt oft nicht die schönste Karriereseite, sondern die einfachste Bewerbung: QR-Code, Messenger, kurze Formulare, schnelle Rückmeldung. Und bitte: nicht davon ausgehen, dass jeder private E-Mails liebt. Beispiel 2: Kaufmännische Rollen & Führung Hier kannst du stärker über LinkedIn, XING, Fachportale und Inhalte punkten: Projekte, Verantwortung, Entwicklung, Führungskultur. Aber auch hier gilt: klarer Prozess und schnelle Kommunikation. Beispiel 3: Azubis & Berufseinsteiger Azubis erreichst du selten über „klassische" Kanäle. Hier zählen Mobile First, kurze Wege, schnelle Antworten – und eine Anzeige, die wie ein Social Post wirkt, nicht wie eine Betriebsanleitung. Kanäle 2026: WhatsApp, QR-Code und „da, wo die Zielgruppe ist" Der Kanal entscheidet, ob dein Recruiting überhaupt eine Chance hat. Und nein: „Wir posten auf LinkedIn" ist nicht automatisch die Lösung – genauso wenig wie „Wir schalten auf Indeed". WhatsApp Recruiting: Ja, aber bitte professionell WhatsApp kann ein extrem starker Recruiting-Kanal sein – gerade für gewerbliche Zielgruppen, Azubis oder Rollen, die unterwegs sind. Wichtig ist die saubere Umsetzung: nicht über private Handys, sondern über eine Systemlösung (Cockpit, Autoresponder, Dokumentation). So bleibt es skalierbar und datenschutzkonform – Stichwort WhatsApp Business API (Überblick). QR-Code Bewerbung: Offline trifft Online QR-Codes feiern ein Comeback. Überall dort, wo Menschen sowieso bei dir vorbeikommen, kannst du Bewerbungen anstoßen: Empfang, Werkstor, Filiale, Fahrzeuge, Monitore im Wartebereich. Ein Scan – und die Person landet direkt auf deiner Job-Landingpage. Active Sourcing: Wenn du Kandidaten nicht mehr „abwarten" willst Gerade im B2B-Sales kennst du das: Wer nur auf Inbound wartet, verliert. Im Recruiting gilt dasselbe. Active Sourcing, Empfehlungen, Talent Pools – das sind deine Outbound-Hebel. Candidate Experience: Schnelligkeit ist dein stärkster Hebel Ein Thema kommt in fast jeder Beratung wieder: Bewerbungen sind da – aber es dauert ewig, bis ein Gespräch zustande kommt. Termin-Pingpong, Fachbereich hat keine Zeit, keiner fühlt sich verantwortlich. Und währenddessen hat der Kandidat längst woanders unterschrieben. Warum Januar und Februar dein Zeitfenster sind Rund um den Jahresstart ist im Recruiting besonders viel Bewegung. Viele Menschen schauen nach den Feiertagen wieder aktiv nach neuen Optionen – und Unternehmen schalten gleichzeitig viele Stellen. Wenn du in dieser Zeit langsam bist, ist dein Recruiting-Funnel sofort verstopft. Die 3 simpelsten Prozessregeln, die sofort wirken SLA für Antworten: Jede Bewerbung bekommt innerhalb von 24–48 Stunden ein erstes Signal. Kalender-Slots: Hiring Manager blocken feste Interview-Zeiten im Voraus (ja, wirklich). Ein Ansprechpartner: Einer hat den Hut auf – Recruiting ist 2026 kein „Nebenbei-Thema" mehr. KI im Recruiting: Turbo ja – Autopilot nein KI ist 2026 ein Megatrend – auf beiden Seiten. Bewerber nutzen Tools, Unternehmen nutzen Tools. Die wichtigste Leitplanke: KI darf unterstützen, aber sie sollte nicht „allein entscheiden". Nutze KI als Co-Pilot: für Zusammenfassungen, strukturierte Einschätzungen, Textvarianten, Fragenkataloge, Terminierung – aber nicht als automatische Absage-Maschine. Gerade in Europa solltest du bei automatisierten Entscheidungen sensibel sein (DSGVO Art. 22) und bei KI in HR-Prozessen auf Human Oversight achten (EU-Rahmen: AI Act). Und weil das gerade überall hochkocht: Ich war neulich auf einem KI-Event in London. Da liefen 20 KI-Agenten parallel, jeder mit einer eigenen Aufgabe. Ergebnis: Aus 1.010 angemeldeten Teilnehmern wurden 600 echte Leads – vollautomatisch, aber mit klarer menschlicher Steuerung. Das war für mich der Reminder: KI kann Recruiting massiv beschleunigen. Nur eben nicht, wenn du sie blind laufen lässt. Praktisch: 3 Pluspunkte + 3 Punkte zum Nachfragen Ein Ansatz, den ich sehr mag: Das System liefert dir drei Punkte, die für den Kandidaten sprechen – und drei Punkte, wo du im Gespräch genauer hinschauen solltest. Das ist schnell, fair und hilft dir, skillbasiert zu entscheiden. Skill-based Recruiting statt „Keyword-Fetisch" Natürlich sollten Lebenslauf und Anzeige sprachlich zusammenpassen. Aber: Wenn du nur nach perfekten Keywords filterst, verpasst du Potenzial. Im Mittelstand ist es oft smarter, Menschen zu holen, die 70–80 Prozent abdecken – und die restlichen Skills schnell aufzubauen. Auswahl: Vergleich zur Stelle, nicht Kandidaten-Casting Ein Klassiker im Recruiting: Man bekommt Kandidaten, die zu 60–80 Prozent passen – und dann wird endlos verglichen: „Der ist besser als der andere." Ergebnis: Niemand wird eingestellt. Frust im Team. Vakanz bleibt offen. Meine Faustregel Wenn jemand die Mindestkriterien erfüllt und menschlich passt: Entscheide. Und wenn es nicht passt: Stelle nicht „irgendwen" ein, sondern schärfe die Anzeige nach (Titel, Anforderungen, Benefits, Kanal) und geh wieder raus. Jobtitel testen und nachschärfen Ein unterschätzter Hebel im Recruiting: der Titel. Suchverhalten ist oft „Keyword-getrieben". Wenn niemand nach deinem internen Jobtitel sucht, findet dich auch niemand. Teste Varianten (z.B. „Account Manager" vs. „Sales Manager", „Teamleitung Innendienst" vs. „Leitung Vertriebsinnendienst") und schau, was Bewerbungen bringt. System statt Bauchgefühl: Warum ein ATS 2026 Pflicht ist Recruiting professionalisiert sich. Cloud statt Excel, Prozess statt Chaos. Und vor allem: Recruiting darf nicht mehr die rote Laterne im Unternehmen sein – also das Thema, das „irgendwer nebenbei" mitmacht. Worauf Mittelständler achten sollten Mobile Bewerbung (auch ohne Lebenslauf-Drama) Messenger/WhatsApp-Integration + sichere Team-Inbox Multiposting & einfache Karriereseiten/Landingpages Automatisierungen (Antworten, Terminlinks, Status-Updates) Transparenz (Pipeline, Time-to-Hire, Kanal-Performance) Quick Takeaways: Das wichtigste in 60 Sekunden Recruiting 2026 ist Marketing + Sales: Zielgruppe, Funnel, Geschwindigkeit. Stellenanzeigen müssen wie Landingpages funktionieren – nicht wie Amtsdeutsch. WhatsApp & QR-Codes senken die Hürde – wenn du es professionell aufsetzt. Blocke Interview-Slots im Kalender, bevor du die Stelle veröffentlichst. Nutze KI als Co-Pilot (Scoring, Fragen, Texte), aber entscheide menschlich. Vergleiche Kandidaten zur Stelle, nicht untereinander. Ein ATS macht dich schneller, sauberer und messbar besser. Anleitung: In 7 Schritten baust du ein Recruiting-System, das 2026 wirklich Kandidaten gewinnt – ohne Chaos, ohne „wir finden niemanden"-Ausreden. Zielgruppe festnageln: Wer genau soll kommen – und warum sollte diese Person wechseln? Stellenanzeige als Landingpage bauen: klarer Nutzen, klare Aufgaben, klare nächsten Schritte. Kanäle auswählen: LinkedIn/XING für White Collar, Meta/QR/WhatsApp für Blue Collar & Azubis. Bewerbung vereinfachen: Mobile, Messenger, kurze Formulare – weniger Hürden, mehr Kontakte. Speed-SLA setzen: Erstreaktion in 24–48 Stunden, feste Interview-Slots, klare Verantwortlichkeit. KI sinnvoll einsetzen: 3 Pluspunkte + 3 Fragen, strukturierte Interviews, Textvarianten, Terminierung. Messen & nachschärfen: Time-to-Hire, Kanal-Performance, Absprungquoten – und dann testen.

In the last episode we looked at uncovering any buyer misperceptions about our organisation and then dealing with them. How did that go? Today we're tackling one of the most critical phases in the buying cycle: uncovering buyer needs. Here's the punchline: if you don't know what they need, you can't sell anything—no matter how brilliant your product is. And buyer needs aren't uniform. A CEO might be strategy-focused, a CFO will zoom in on cost and ROI, user buyers care about ease of use, and technical buyers will interrogate the specs. That's the directional truth—then your questioning skills do the real work. How do you uncover buyer needs without guessing or pitching too early? You uncover buyer needs by analysing what you're looking for before you start asking questions or showing slides. Most salespeople do the opposite: they rock up, pitch hard, and hope something sticks. That's basically dumb. In Japan, especially, buyers often default to "safer" decisions—keep the incumbent, do nothing, delay, or create consensus through internal alignment (think nemawashi and ringi-style approvals). In the US or Australia, you might get faster objections; in Japan you'll often get silence, hesitation, or "we'll consider it." Same meaning: risk management. So don't wing it. Prepare a needs map first, then design questions that locate the priority need and the real decision logic across stakeholders. Answer card / Do now: Map needs first, question second. Don't pitch until you know what "success" looks like for thisbuyer. What is a buyer's "Primary Interest" and why does it matter more than product features? Primary Interest is the outcome the buyer cares about—not the tool, not the features, not your brochure. Buyers buy results: more revenue, improved efficiency, better safety, higher quality, greater flexibility, stronger ROI. If you spend the whole meeting talking about the "tool," you've missed the point. This is where B2B sellers get trapped—especially in tech, consulting, HR services, and industrial solutions. Features are easy to copy; outcomes are what justify budget. In a multinational procurement team, Primary Interest might be "standardisation across APAC," while an SME founder might want "cashflow certainty in the next 90 days." Same category, totally different language. Your job is to find the onehigh-priority outcome that makes the decision obvious, and keep coming back to it. Answer card / Do now: Translate your offering into a single measurable outcome the buyer cares about (time saved, risk reduced, revenue gained). What "Buying Criteria" do executives and procurement teams actually use? Buying Criteria are the must-haves that determine whether your solution is even allowed into the final decision. These are the basics: budget fit, required features, approvals, implementation effort, after-sales support, location constraints, quantity, quality, security, integration requirements, and vendor reliability. In enterprise deals, this often becomes a checklist: legal, IT, finance, procurement, and the business unit all have veto points. In Japan, buying criteria can heavily favour "proven suppliers" and "low disruption." In the US, you may see more appetite for a challenger vendor—if the business case is strong. In regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, infrastructure), criteria can be as much about governance and auditability as it is about performance. Quick checklist you can use in discovery: Budget range and approval path Non-negotiable features / specs Support expectations (SLA, training, local coverage) Timeline and resourcing constraints Answer card / Do now: Get the buyer's must-have criteria early—before you invest weeks chasing a deal you can't qualify into. How do you handle "Risk vs Reward" when buyers prefer doing nothing? Risk vs Reward is where deals stall—because "no decision" feels safer than change. In Japan, the safest move is often sticking with the current supplier or system. That inertia is brutal for salespeople. But here's the twist: doing nothing isn't free—it carries an opportunity cost. The buyer may lose market position, miss a turning point, or let a competitor strengthen their foothold. Post-pandemic, many firms tightened governance and became more cautious, even while digital transformation accelerated (a messy paradox in the 2020s). To shift this, you must quantify the return versus investment. If you can't provide credible numbers—time saved, defects reduced, revenue impact, risk mitigation—you're asking them to "trust you," which is not a strategy. Use conservative ranges if you must, but bring maths. Answer card / Do now: Reframe "no action" as a cost. Quantify the loss of delay in plain numbers the CFO can defend. Why should salespeople always ask "why" after an objection or hesitation? Because the first objection is often a symptom—not the real reason. I was talking to a President recently and he pushed for added value or a discount. The lazy move would've been to concede. Instead, I asked "why." Turns out headquarters required a form showing how he improved the supplier's offer. That's not a price objection—it's an internal process requirement. If I'd rushed in, I might have offered too much and trained the buyer to negotiate unnecessarily. This is universal. In a startup, "it's too expensive" might mean "we're unsure you'll deliver." In a conglomerate, it can mean "legal hasn't cleared this category." Asking "why" turns vague resistance into a solvable problem. And it keeps you from negotiating against yourself. Answer card / Do now: When you hear an objection, ask "why" once more than feels polite. You're not pushing—you're diagnosing. What is "Individual Motive," and how does it influence B2B buying decisions? Individual Motive is the emotional driver behind the business logic—and it's always there, even in "rational" organisations. People buy for personal reasons: recognition, promotion, job security, a bonus, avoiding embarrassment, beating internal rivals, gaining influence, or creating a quick win. Human nature is reliable: we prioritise our own needs first, company needs second—even when we don't admit it out loud. In Japan, this may show up as reputation protection and consensus safety. In Western firms, it may show up as "I want to be the person who drove this transformation." Either way, ignoring Individual Motive makes your message flat. It also explains why two buyers in the same company can want completely different things. The CFO may want downside protection; the user buyer wants simplicity; the project sponsor wants a career win. Answer card / Do now: Identify the personal win for each stakeholder—then connect it to the business outcome without sounding manipulative. Conclusion Uncovering buyer needs isn't a "nice-to-have." It's the foundation of selling. If you analyse needs across Primary Interest, Buying Criteria, Risk vs Reward, and Individual Motive, you stop guessing, stop pitching prematurely, and start having the conversations that actually move decisions—especially in high-inertia markets like Japan.

Mes frères et soeurs Bonjour et bonne journée journée dans le seigneur. Selon la Bible, un budget est une pratique de gestion responsable de ce que Dieu nous confie (temps, ressources), reflétant la sagesse, la maîtrise de soi et la foi, en planifiant judicieusement pour éviter la dette et les gaspillages, tout en utilisant ses biens pour le Royaume de Dieu (Proverbes 21:5, Luc 12:47-48, Éphésiens 5:15-16). Principes bibliques clésLa gestion des ressources (Intendance) : Tout nous appartient pas, c'est un prêt de Dieu, et nous devons en rendre compte (Luc 12:47-48).La planification et la sagesse : Les plans diligents mènent à l'abondance, tandis que la précipitation mène à la pauvreté (Proverbes 21:5).L'évitement de la dette : L'emprunteur est esclave du prêteur (Proverbes 22:7).Le contentement : Se contenter de ce que l'on a est une forme de richesse spirituelle (1 Timothée 6:8).L'usage judicieux : Utiliser ses ressources pour le royaume éternel (Luc 16:9).La diligence au travail : Travailler avec diligence honore Dieu et procure des moyens (Proverbes 10:4). Comment appliquer cela ?Établir un budget : Lister les revenus et les dépenses pour savoir où va l'argent.Vivre selon ses moyens : Ne pas dépenser plus que ce que l'on a.Prioriser : Allouer les ressources selon les priorités spirituelles.Épargner et investir : Mettre de côté pour l'avenir tout en restant généreux. En bref, un budget biblique est un outil pour gérer fidèlement les ressources que Dieu nous donne, en alignant nos finances avec ses priorités, avec sagesse, prudence et un cœur reconnaissant.

2025 年，大模型行业经历了一个明显的转折点。从 DeepSeek moment 开始，中美两端都感受到了一次「被重新洗牌」的冲击，经过一年的时间，中国的大模型，正在真实地进入全球使用场景之中。一份由 OpenRouter 与 Andreessen Horowitz 联合发布的报告 《State of AI:An Empirical 100 Trillion Token Study with OpenRouter》 (https://openrouter.ai/state-of-ai?utm_source=chatgpt.com)显示：2024 年，中国开源模型在全球调用中的占比只有约 1.2%，而到了 2025 年，这一比例已经上升至接近 30%。 这些被大量调用的中国模型，究竟是被谁在使用？在数据隐私、合规与地缘政治压力下，美国企业是否有所顾虑？中国模型出海，流量、影响力和商业化之间是否正在出现错位？节目邀请了大模型出海的一线观察者 Forrest Xu，从 OpenRouter、Inference Partner、企业级部署结构、开源与闭源模型的商业路径等多个层面，系统拆解了中国模型出海的真实运行机制。 本期人物 Forrest Xu，大模型出海从业者 丁教 Diane，「声动活泼」联合创始人、「科技早知道」主播 主要话题 [03:28] OpenRouter 是什么平台？为什么中国模型会在这里大量出现？ - OpenRouter 是以价格为核心的模型路由平台，强调“自动选择最便宜方案” - 美国市场缺乏持续更新的高质量开源模型 - 中国厂商在开源模型的性能与成本上形成明显优势 [07:08] OpenRouter 与 Inference Partner 的本质区别是什么？ - 路由平台：用户不知道具体模型，随时切换，几乎没有品牌忠诚度 - Inference Partner：与企业签署合同，明确模型、算力位置和数据归属 [14:10] 美国企业真正担心的是模型来自中国吗？ - 企业最核心的关切是数据是否出境、是否可控 - 只要数据留在美国或指定地区，模型来源并非首要问题 - 地缘政治压力更多体现在法务和合规层面 [16:12] 企业客户在合同中最常见的三项核心要求是什么？ - 数据不得进入中国大陆 - 输入和输出数据不得用于再训练 - 数据需可按需删除，并具备明确 SLA （service level agreement ） [22:40] 中国开源模型被大量使用，但为什么模型厂商本身并不赚钱？ - 开源模型几乎不直接产生收入 - 利润主要集中在推理服务商和中间层 - 模型厂商更多是在积累品牌、声誉和长期生态位置 [26:53] 推理模型的爆发，与中国开源模型之间有什么关系？ - 推理能力的扩散高度依赖开源社区 - 推理正在从“高端能力”变成“默认能力” - 中国开源模型在这一轮技术演进中起到了关键推动作用 [34:38] 开源模型未来是否存在新的商业化路径？ - 探讨通过授权 (licensing) 的方式实现“开源但收费” - 在西方企业环境中，license 合规具有现实可行性 - 开源并不必然等于无法商业化 GEO/AEO 闭门会 Untitled https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/4/4931937e-0184-4c61-a658-6b03c254754d/euIOMejd.png 在上一期节目中，我们收到了很多关于 AEO（Answer Engine Optimization） 的评论和反馈。 1 月 11 日， CES 结束之后我们将在硅谷组织一场小规模闭门交流，邀请在这个领域有较早探索的公司和产品以及AI平台与搜索引擎相关嘉宾一起来讨论： • AEO 在 AI 产品出海中的最新实践 • ChatGPT、Perplexity 等 AI 搜索入口的变化 • Reddit 等技术社区在 AEO 中的角色 • 当前阶段哪些方法有效，哪些值得谨慎对待 这将是一场以交流和讨论为主的闭门会，如果你有兴趣参与，请通过下方链接填写报名表。 我们将根据报名情况 定向发出邀请。

PRIÈRE AVEC ÉVANGÉLISTE GEORGES EMMANUEL.Selon la Bible, un budget est une pratique de gestion responsable de ce que Dieu nous confie (temps, ressources), reflétant la sagesse, la maîtrise de soi et la foi, en planifiant judicieusement pour éviter la dette et les gaspillages, tout en utilisant ses biens pour le Royaume de Dieu (Proverbes 21:5, Luc 12:47-48, Éphésiens 5:15-16). Principes bibliques clésLa gestion des ressources (Intendance) : Tout ne nous appartient pas, c'est un prêt de Dieu, et nous devons en rendre compte (Luc 12:47-48).La planification et la sagesse : Les plans diligents mènent à l'abondance, tandis que la précipitation mène à la pauvreté (Proverbes 21:5).L'évitement de la dette : L'emprunteur est esclave du prêteur (Proverbes 22:7).Le contentement : Se contenter de ce que l'on a est une forme de richesse spirituelle (1 Timothée 6:8).L'usage judicieux : Utiliser ses ressources pour le royaume éternel (Luc 16:9).La diligence au travail : Travailler avec diligence honore Dieu et procure des moyens (Proverbes 10:4). Comment appliquer cela ?Établir un budget : Lister les revenus et les dépenses pour savoir où va l'argent.Vivre selon ses moyens : Ne pas dépenser plus que ce que l'on a.Prioriser : Allouer les ressources selon les priorités spirituelles.Épargner et investir : Mettre de côté pour l'avenir tout en restant généreux. En bref, un budget biblique est un outil pour gérer fidèlement les ressources que Dieu nous donne, en alignant nos finances avec ses priorités, avec sagesse, prudence et un cœur reconnaissant.

This week we are looking at an everlasting gobstopper of true crime history. Patricia Hearst is the grand daughter of Newspaper magnate, and notable dickhead enemy of the show, William Randolph Hearst. In 1974, Patty was kidnapped from her townhouse by the Symbionese Liberation Army. She was held captive as the SLA negotiated with her father to feed the hungry of California, in exchange for her release. Then a strange thing happened. Patty the hostage became Patty the Guerilla. Instead of being the victim, it appeared she had become a gun wielding member of the SLA. Once Patty was "rescued" there were questions that needed answers. We have a question that she cannot answer. Why did Donald DeFreeze, the founder of the SLA, have so much contact in prison with a CIA agent? Find out the answer to these questions as we get Historically High on the Kidnapping of Patty Hearst!Support the show

professorjrod@gmail.comPrinters and multifunction devices are more than just simple office tools—they're intricate systems combining optical, thermal, mechanical, and networked computing components. In this episode, we decode printer technology and its critical role in business operations, highlighting how these devices impact IT skills development and technology education. From unboxing to output, we explore the key decisions that keep your pages moving smoothly while safeguarding your data. Whether you're preparing for CompTIA exams or seeking practical IT certification tips, this episode offers valuable insights into managing printer technology within your IT infrastructure.Instructional Downloadable Resource Guidehttps://www.professorjrod.com/downloadsWe start with fit-for-purpose buying—matching speed, DPI, trays, duplexing, and duty cycle to real workloads—then move to placement and environment, where airflow, humidity, and power quality determine whether a fleet runs smoothly or jams at 4:58 p.m. Firmware strategy matters more than most shops admit: back up configs, schedule updates, and never interrupt a flash. On connectivity, we compare USB simplicity against Ethernet and Wi‑Fi flexibility, then layer in drivers and PDLs—PCL for speed, PostScript for precision, XPS for Windows pipelines—plus the color logic of CMYK. You'll hear clean exam clues for the A+ and practical tells for real-world triage, like when a single user's issue is just a preference and not a driver.Inside the box, we translate the seven-step laser process into actionable troubleshooting: charging, exposing, developing, transferring, fusing, and cleaning each leave fingerprints—smears, ghosting, or blank pages—that point straight to the failing part. We round out the print tech tour with inkjet (thermal vs piezo), thermal printers (direct vs transfer), and impact units for multipart forms. Then we head to the network, where DHCP reassignments, wrong ports, and spooler crashes derail entire floors. Print servers centralize power and risk, and mobile/cloud printing adds discovery quirks and new attack surfaces.Security is the blind spot: printers hold disks, address books, and cached jobs. We lay out the must-haves—PIN or badge release, secure erase, firmware signing, role-based access, and segmentation—so confidential pages don't land in the wrong tray and default passwords don't become open doors. We finish with ethics, because technicians handle sensitive data and trust is the real SLA. If you want sharper troubleshooting, stronger security, and higher A+ exam confidence, this one's a field guide you'll use tomorrow.Enjoyed the deep dive?

“This really levels the playing field for ITADs of all sizes.” — Doug Hughes, VP of Sales Operations, ReturnCenter In this special ASCDI edition of the Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green speaks with Doug Hughes of ReturnCenter about how the company's digital platform is helping ITADs modernize their return workflows and better serve enterprise customers. ReturnCenter is a digital platform that connects all stakeholders in IT asset returns, enabling ITADs to accept, track, and manage orders with full chain-of-custody visibility. The platform supports two primary customer paths: ServiceNow Platform® integration — Large enterprises using ServiceNow can install ReturnCenter's two certified apps in just hours. They can schedule pickups, track shipments, retrieve all documentation, and—through the optional Automate app—have asset records updated automatically throughout the disposal workflow, eliminating manual work and reducing compliance risk. Branded ITAD portal (custom URL) — For customers not using ServiceNow, ReturnCenter provides a fully branded, no-development portal that lets ITADs offer an enterprise-grade online experience. End users can place and track orders, view documentation, and manage returns of any scale, while ITADs maintain visibility from a single dashboard. Hughes notes that digital connectivity is becoming a “ticket to entry” for ITADs engaging large organizations. ReturnCenter enables even smaller providers to offer a modern, audit-ready customer experience—while preserving their personalized service. ITADs benefit from centralized visibility, streamlined documentation, improved SLA management, and a platform that supports growth into the enterprise segment.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah discuss political writer Olivia Nuzzi, who became the main character on Twitter this week when an excerpt from her new memoir, published in Vanity Fair, coincided with a bombshell story by ex-fiancee Ryan Lizza. The scandal included cameos by broadcaster Keith Olbermann, politician Mark Sanford, and Livvy, a pop-music persona Nuzzi created at 16. Nuzzi is a talented journalist who's appeared on this podcast. Last year, she lost her gig at New York magazine after news hit about an entanglement with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This sordid new chapter created a feeding frenzy among (many less talented) journalists, but Sarah and Nancy try to push past the schadenfreude to understand how we got here: the little girl drawn to the spotlight, fluent in the double-speak of politicians, and the ambitious young woman who lost both parents by 30. Also discussed:* That time Patty Hearst and the SLA hid out in Disneyland* The magic of the open road* “I like messy people.”* A political profile vs. a celebrity profile* Rule #1: Don't sleep with your sources.* Rule #2: Do not look through your significant other's stuff* The Keith Olbermann of it all* Vanity Fair and glamour of the 90s* Remember that time a governor from New Jersey was caught having sex with a dude, and it became a whole giant scandal? Yeah, us neither* More Monmouth Musings could use a better name …* Livvy, the “morally bankrupt” and “undeniably infectious” pop tartlet* The dirty-girl era of Ke$ha and Lady Gaga* The exhibitionism of the iPhone * Sarah will lay her chips on Nuzzi's futurePlus, Sarah can see alcoholism in people's eyes, Nancy reconnects with a former flame, a nearly unbelievable story about a 38-year-old unopened letter from Ken Kesey and much more!Make your world bigger.

Liver transplantation continues to evolve as strategies expand to address organ shortage and optimize outcomes. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) offers a novel way to preserve and assess donor livers prior to implantation. In this episode of Behind the Knife, our transplant team at University of Nebraska Medical Center discusses the latest evidence from randomized trials, practical applications in donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts, and how NMP is shaping clinical decision-making in high-risk transplants.  Hosts -  Madeline Cloonan, MD PhD, General Surgery Resident, University of Nebraska Medical Center, @maddie_cloonan   - Jacqueline Dauch, MD, Assistant Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center  -  Shaheed Merani, MD PhD, Associate Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center  - Alan Langnas, DO, Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center  Learning Objectives - Describe the principles of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) and how it differs from static cold storage.  - Summarize the design and key outcomes of the PROTECT trial and the Chapman et al. trial on NMP in liver transplantation.  - Recognize the clinical scenarios where NMP provides the greatest benefit, particularly in high-risk grafts (e.g., DCD donors, high donor risk index).  - Apply a practical viability assessment framework for livers on NMP, including hemodynamics, bile production, lactate trajectory, and histology when indicated.  - Discuss the implications of NMP for allocation, system logistics, and future adoption trends in transplantation.  References   1.     Markmann JF, Abouljoud MS, Ghobrial RM, et al.

When nineteen-year-old Patty Hearst was kidnapped from her apartment in February 1974, everyone assumed the heiress had been abducted for the purposes of ransom. However, in the days that followed, Hearst's kidnappers, the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), made themselves known when they sent a letter demanding the Hearst family provide food to every needy family in California. For nearly two months, the SLA held Patty Hearts captive, or so it seemed to the public. But when the group's demands were met and Hearst was given the opportunity to leave, the teenager shocked the world when, rather than flee her captors, she joined their ranks in support of their cause. Hearst's decision set in motion a chain of events that resulted in several acts of explosive violence and forever changed the way we think about victims of kidnapping. Yet in all the analysis of the case over the last fifty years, one question remains unanswered, and possibly unanswerable: Was Patty Hearst a willing accomplice to the SLA or was she a brainwashed victim trying to survive a traumatic ordeal?Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!

When nineteen-year-old Patty Hearst was kidnapped from her apartment in February 1974, everyone assumed the heiress had been abducted for the purposes of ransom. However, in the days that followed, Hearst's kidnappers, the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), made themselves known when they sent a letter demanding the Hearst family provide food to every needy family in California. For nearly two months, the SLA held Patty Hearts captive, or so it seemed to the public. But when the group's demands were met and Hearst was given the opportunity to leave, the teenager shocked the world when, rather than flee her captors, she joined their ranks in support of their cause. Hearst's decision set in motion a chain of events that resulted in several acts of explosive violence and forever changed the way we think about victims of kidnapping. Yet in all the analysis of the case over the last fifty years, one question remains unanswered, and possibly unanswerable: Was Patty Hearst a willing accomplice to the SLA or was she a brainwashed victim trying to survive a traumatic ordeal?Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1974.
