Is 19 Too Young To Be a Police Officer? A Florida, USA Perspective on Trauma Impact and PTSD. Special Episode. At just 19 years old, Michael A. Laidler was already wearing a badge and responding to some of the most intense calls a police officer can face. Sworn in as a police officer in Tallahassee, Florida, USA, his early entry into law enforcement placed him on the front lines at an age when most of his peers were still navigating college life or their first civilian jobs. The question at the heart of this Special Episode is simple, yet deeply complex: Is 19 too young to be a police officer? Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Michael's story, shared through the Podcast available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major podcast platforms, offers a rare firsthand look at how early exposure to trauma can shape both a career and a life. “At 19, I thought I was ready,” Michael reflects. “I passed the tests, I met the requirements, but nothing truly prepares you for repeated exposure to trauma at that age.”  Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Trauma at the Start of a Career Early in his career, Michael encountered extreme stress and traumatic incidents that would leave lasting impressions. He recounts two particularly disturbing events that occurred while he was still a teenager in uniform, experiences that many officers don't face until years into the job. Is 19 Too Young To Be a Police Officer? A Florida, USA Perspective on Trauma Impact and PTSD. Special Episode. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “You don't just see trauma,” he explains. “You absorb it. And when you're that young, it hits differently.” These experiences didn't just affect his work performance; they influenced his personal life, emotional regulation, and long-term career decisions. Like many officers of his generation, Michael says there was little discussion about mental health, PTSD, or the long-term Trauma Impact on young officers. “Back then, the mindset was to tough it out,” he says. “You handled it the best you could, often without the tools or language to understand what was happening inside.” The Science Behind Age and Trauma In the United States, the minimum age to become a police officer typically ranges from 18 to 21, depending on the state and department. Florida is unique in that it sets the minimum age for sworn law enforcement officers at 19 years old, while corrections officers may be hired at 18. However some agencies have higher minimum ages. Research suggests that while 18 and 19-year-olds possess adult-level reasoning abilities, the brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex responsible for impulse control, emotional regulation, and decision-making, continues to develop well into the early 20s. This ongoing development may make younger officers more vulnerable to the effects of repeated traumatic exposure. Is 19 Too Young To Be a Police Officer? A Florida, USA Perspective on Trauma Impact and PTSD. Special Episode. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Studies cited by the National Institutes of Health indicate that trauma exposure can double the risk of major depressive disorder and is a key criterion for developing PTSD. Adolescents and young adults may be especially susceptible, as trauma can intersect with critical stages of identity formation and emotional development. “You're still becoming who you are,” Michael notes. “When trauma gets layered onto that process, it can redirect your entire path.” Florida Standards and the Bigger Debate Under Florida Statute 943.13, individuals seeking certification as law enforcement officers must meet strict criteria, including U.S. citizenship, a high school diploma or GED, good moral character, and a clean criminal history. In cities like Miami, applicants must be at least 19 years old to apply. The interview can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. While these standards ensure legal and ethical readiness, they don't fully address developmental readiness or long-term mental health outcomes. Critics argue that agencies should more seriously consider age, maturity, and access to trauma-informed support systems when hiring young officers. According to broader research, trauma experienced during sensitive developmental periods may carry a higher risk for long-term psychological effects, including PTSD, substance abuse, and relationship difficulties, especially if left untreated. Is 19 Too Young To Be a Police Officer? A Florida, USA Perspective on Trauma Impact and PTSD. Special Episode. Turning Pain Into Purpose Today, Michael A. Laidler uses his experiences to help others. His career path ultimately shifted toward leadership development and training, driven by a desire to support officers before trauma defines them. “If sharing my story helps even one young officer recognize the signs of PTSD or seek help earlier, then it's worth it,” he says. The full podcast episode is streaming now on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. This Special Episode isn't just about age requirements or policy, it's about people, development, and the hidden costs of early exposure to trauma in law enforcement. As the conversation continues across News, Podcast, and social media platforms, Michael's story adds an essential human perspective to the ongoing debate. “Nineteen isn't too young to care,” Michael concludes. “But it might be too young to carry trauma alone.” Listeners can tune in on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform and follow updates on Facebook, Instagram, and other major News outlets.

On December 2, the OneBC party released its documentary Making a Killing: Reconciliation, genocide and plunder in Canada. Since then, the writer and producer of the film Tim Thielmann, has been fired along with two other senior staff. MLA Dallas Brodie has herself been removed as interim party leader. But the documentary lives on, with Dallas Brodie voicing Thielmann's script and interviewing all the guests. We talk about the film with Sean Carleton, professor of history and Indigenous studies at the University of Manitoba.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-18-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by examining how market competition is actually working in the weight loss drug sector. Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy compete against Eli Lilly's Monjaro and ZepBound, with prices dropping nearly 50% as companies launch direct-to-consumer websites. The main barriers remain needles and refrigeration, driving development of oral versions. Novo's Wegovy pill awaits FDA approval for early 2026 launch at $150 monthly. Next-generation drugs show remarkable results: Eli's retatrutide causes 24% weight loss in 48 weeks, while Novo's Cagrisema combines semaglutide with amylin to reduce muscle loss. Pfizer paid $10 billion for Metsera's once-monthly drug despite significant side effects. A quick fiber tip suggests adding plain psyllium to morning coffee for cardiovascular and microbiome benefits. Start with half a teaspoon and work up to two teaspoons (10 grams) over several weeks to avoid gas. The prebiotic fiber improves glucose tolerance and may reduce cancer risk. UC San Diego scientists discovered why cancers mutate so rapidly despite being eukaryotic cells with protected chromosomes. The answer is chromothripsis, a catastrophic event where the enzyme N4BP2 literally explodes chromosomes into fragments. These reassemble incorrectly, generating dozens to hundreds of mutations simultaneously and creating circular DNA fragments carrying cancer-promoting genes. One in four cancers show evidence of this mechanism, with all osteosarcomas and many brain cancers displaying it. This explains why the most aggressive cancers resist treatment. Research from 2013 shows any glucocorticoid use significantly increases venous thromboembolism risk, with threefold increases during the first month of use. The risk applies to new and recurrent clots, affecting both oral and inhaled steroids, though IV poses highest risk and topical the lowest. Joint injections fall somewhere between inhaled and oral. Anyone with prior blood clots should avoid steroids except for life-threatening situations like severe asthma attacks requiring ventilation. A meta-analysis of 20 randomized controlled trials shows creatine supplementation helps older adults (48-84) maintain muscle mass when combined with weight training two to three times weekly. The supplement provides no benefit without exercise. Recommended dosing starts at 2 grams and works up to 5 grams daily. Vegans benefit most since they consume little meat or fish. Important caveat: creatine throws off standard kidney function tests (creatinine), so users should request cystatin C testing instead for accurate renal health assessment. A new JAMA study suggesting risk-based mammogram screening is fatally flawed. First, researchers offered chemopreventative drugs like tamoxifen only to the high-risk group, contaminating the study design. Second, the demographics skewed heavily toward white college-educated women, missing the reality that Black women face twice the risk of aggressive breast cancer with 40% higher mortality. Third, wild-type humans failed to follow instructions—low-risk women continued getting annual mammograms anyway while high-risk women skipped recommended extra screenings. The conclusion of "non-inferior" outcomes is meaningless given poor adherence. Stick with annual mammograms, and consider alternating with MRIs for high-risk women. The EAT-Lancet report condemns red meat based purely on observational data showing correlations with heart disease, cancer, and mortality. But people who eat lots of red meat differ dramatically from low consumers: they weigh more, smoke more, exercise less, and eat less fiber. Studies can't control for sleep quality, depression, or screen time. Notably, heavy meat eaters also die more in accidents, suggesting a risk-taking lifestyle phenotype. The inflammatory marker TMAO is higher in meat eaters, but starch is also pro-inflammatory. Eating red meat instead of instant ramen might improve health. A balanced diet with limited amounts beats epidemiology-based blanket statements. Dr. Dawn grades Dr. Oz's performance as CMS administrator. Starting at minus one for zero relevant experience, he earns plus two for promoting diet, exercise, and gut health on his show. He studied intensively after nomination, calling all four previous CMS directors repeatedly and surrounding himself with experienced staff (plus one). He finalized Medicare rules favoring prevention over surgery and earned bipartisan praise as "a real scientist, not radical" (plus one). He divested healthcare holdings but kept some blind trust interests (minus 0.5). He's developing a CMS app and partnering with Google on a digital health ecosystem (plus one), but supports ending ACA subsidies that will raise premiums for millions (minus one). He correctly promoted COVID vaccines and contradicted Trump's Tylenol-autism claims (plus one). Final score: 3.5 out of 5 possible points, the only positive score for any Trump health administrator.

All Learning Reimagined with Teresa Songbird Topic: Motivating Teenagers Part 1 - University Focus

Co-Host Dr. Anthony Silard (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/silard) My first-time guest is a man who fearlessly tackles some rough topics that others avoid. In addition to his latest book Love And Suffering, he's also the author of others with scary titles like The Myth Of Happiness and The Myth Of Friendship. So how does a guy like Dr. Anthony Silard stay sane and level-headed while immersed in this stuff? Well, the easy answer is his work probably isn't what you expect it to be. Rather than another nihilistic treatise on existentialism, he actually frames the inevitable suffering we all experience in this life as having the power to enable us to love more deeply. But he's just getting warmed up. Anthony believes "forgiveness" isn't as kind as we think it is, and judging each other is a necessary part of human existence. Anthony is also very aware that Americans in particular are feeling deep disconnection from each other. Studies show that over 70% of Americans say their friendships and relationships both personal and professional have suffered over the past several years. They attribute some of this to technology saying they feel overwhelmed with all of the online communication in their life that they withdraw from people. Others attribute this to the increase anger we see daily about us. Regardless of the cause people feel disconnected. We have simply let life happen to us and we seem adrift. Why is this? How can we pull ourselves together? Anthony says the powerful but often overlooked truth is many relationships don't fail because of incompatibility, but rather because of unforgiven pain. Whatever you do not learn to love in your life, you will repeat. As you can imagine, this episode offers a powerful new perspective on how to build healthy, long-lasting relationships with women.

در این اپیزود از مدرسه زندگی فارسی، به یک تحلیل فلسفی، اجتماعی و هستی‌شناسانه از سریال علمی‌تخیلی "پلوریبوس" می‌پردازیم. سریالی که با یک ایده‌ی جذاب علمی شروع می‌شود: ارسال ژنوم انسانی از فضا، به‌تدریج به یک کابوس دیستوپیایی یا شاید یک رؤیای آرمان‌شهری جمع‌گرایانه تبدیل می‌شود. اما سؤال اصلی اینجاست:

Jesse Butler pleaded no contest to ten rape-related charges, got youthful offender status, and walked out of court with probation and community service. No prison. No sex offender registry. And if he makes it to his 19th birthday in August without incident, his record gets sealed forever. But the case isn't over. Attorney Rachel Bussett just filed a motion that could change everything. In this breakdown, we examine every legal avenue that could still put Butler behind bars. The Marsy's Law challenge arguing victims' constitutional rights were violated when the plea deal was struck minutes before the hearing. The untested statutory argument that "reverse certification" from adult to youthful offender may not even be legal in Oklahoma rape cases. The probation violation path—Butler has already missed two check-ins. The federal grand jury investigation being pushed by State Rep. JJ Humphrey. And the possibility that new victims could come forward with fresh charges. We also look at the research that makes this a public safety issue. Studies show victims of intimate partner strangulation are 750 percent more likely to be killed by that same partner. Court documents describe one victim as being 30 seconds from death. Police found video evidence of Butler strangling her unconscious—because according to affidavits, he wanted to watch it later. The DA defends the deal. The families say they were blindsided. Bussett says the system failed from beginning to end. The February 3rd hearing could reopen everything—or nothing changes and the clock runs out. This is about more than one case. It's about whether victim's rights actually mean anything, and whether the justice system protects survivors or shields the connected. #JesseButler #MarsysLaw #StillwaterOklahoma #VictimsRights #YouthfulOffender #TrueCrime #PayneCounty #CriminalJustice #RachelBussett #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Biffina, in her 30s, represents many lonely people who have faced the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse. Biffina, also like so many others, has interpreted her childhood trauma through a lens of self-condemnation. As a result, she now struggles with identity, relationships, and viewing herself biblically.

Our final episode of this Courage My Friends season features a December 10th Human Rights Day Panel Discussion, the first of a series of events celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Community Worker Program at Toronto's George Brown College. Community workers and human rights advocates, Brianna Olson Pitawanakwat, Samira Mohyeddin, Diana Gallego, Desmond Cole and Diana Chan McNally discuss the meaning of human rights in Canada 77 years after the UN adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, critical issues facing us today and the power of solidarity-driven, rights-based organizing. Speaking to Canada's approach to human rights, Pitawanakwat says: "A big wakeup call was a couple of days ago when the UN passed the International Day Against Colonialism and Canada abstained. Because Canada is very much still rooted in this colonial mechanism and ideology here … In Anishinaabe culture, we don't rely on the idea of rights, rights are a European construct. We rely on the idea of responsibility … If we relied on human rights, we would be in a dismal place, which is where we are today." According to Chan McNally: "Every time you see an encampment that is someone exercising their right to housing by literally making their own tent.We have downloaded the responsibility directly on homeless people to ensure their own rights. And criminalizing even that action of survival ... It's ludicrous, ludicrous to me." Speaking to the importance of community work, Cole says: "People are doing it in this school and in this program. The reason that I always say yes, when you ask me to come here … I was homeless myself more than 20 years ago when I moved to this city. Somebody who took a community worker program referred me to a youth shelter and changed my life. For real." On the role of independent journalism, Mohyeddin reflects on her upcoming documentary about the pro-Palestine student encampment at UofT: "Our corporate media was vilifying these young people. And you know, my motto for journalism has always been to 'Make mad the guilty and appall the free.' And I think that if we operate from that place, even as citizens, we can really make a change." On the power of solidarity, Gallego says: "The system want us being isolated. Solidarity is a word they trying to penalize … Solidarity is going and bringing the power that the Indigenous community have with the Palestinian movement. Bringing the solidarity of the unions back to us, back to the people.Being a community worker … Being the first face that a refugee is seeing in Canada and seeing the welcoming and seeing the support, means a lot."

In this episode, good friend Amber Lynn Vitale joins us to unpack the many layers of one of the hottest new supplements in the past year, Berberine. She shared what's real, based on science and as a consumer how to spot a poorly made version of Berberine.What is Berberine?Berberine is found in Goldenseal, Oregon Grape, and Turmeric Tree also known as Barberry. In all these plants Berberine comes from the roots, and is used in Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Western herbalism. Bitter and Astringent, it is traditionally known to reduce fat and improve sugar metabolism by improving glucose and lipid receptor expression.Numerous studies on Berberine show it supports healthy:Blood Sugar levelsLipid profileBlood PressureInflammatory responseWeight and Body CompositionCognitive functionReproductive function…especially researched in PCOSBerbevis clinical studies show benefits in body composition with fat redistribution away from the organs, glucose and insulin metabolism, and bioavailability with respect to both absorption and half-life potency.Guest: Amber Lynn Vitale, CN is Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® and a Certified Dietary Supplement Professional™. She is also an Ayurvedic Clinical Consultant on faculty with Wild Rose College of Herbal Medicine, and on the advisory board for Natural Practitioner and Taste for Life magazines. Amber's journey in the healing arts developed richly as she worked for years in practices with Integrative Physicians, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, and Nurses. Since 2008 she has been producing written and video educational content for many publications, an educational YouTube channel, and Instagram and Facebook pages. By 2012 she had realized that raw materials sourcing, labeling transparency, legitimate certifications, and educational support were the criteria that would set quality natural products brands apart from the rest; and she made it her mission to educate both the practitioner and the public about the standards that ensure a reliable product.  Recently she founded Trifecta for Health, LLC using her years of experience to develop synergistic health protocols tailored to individual needs, and provide brand support for the best supplemental products currently available.Read More about BerberineLearn more about Emerald Labs Berberine Phytosome Use the code Forever to get 20% Off your order at Emeraldlabs.com

“In the marathon that is caregiving, the difference between exhaustion and endurance isn't willpower, it's the strength of the support network we build around us.” Sue Ryan Are you feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities of caregiving? Do you find yourself thinking, “I don't have time to get everything done.” or “I should be able to do this myself.”? You're not alone, and there's a better way forward. We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster. As caregivers for our loved ones with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, we've learned building a strong personal support network is crucial for sustainable caregiving.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it's time to ask for help.  Tip 2: Create a List of Who Can Help and What They Can Do Think about all the people who have offered to help or who might be willing to help. Map your list of potential helpers to your list of needs. If multiple people can help with a particular task, list them all—it's better not to rely on just one person. Tip 3: How to Effectively Ask for Help Recognize that some people want to help your care receiver, while others want to help you. Be specific and direct about what you need and why you need it.Remember that the people on your list have likely already offered to help or have shown willingness to support you.Adapt your approach based on the person you're asking.  Tip 4: When People Offer to Help, Say "Yes" Avoid these common traps: "It would be easier just to do it myself.""No one can care for my loved one like I can.""I should be able to do this myself.""I feel guilty—they have their own busy lives." Tip 5: Maintain Your Support Network and Adjust as Things Change Encouraging open communication with your support team membersBeing proactive about finding new support team members when neededChecking in regularly with your helpers to keep them informed and engagedWatching for signs of burnout in your helpers—they may experience caregiver fatigue tooAddressing inflection points in your loved one's care needs Read More in This Blog https://sueryansolutions.medium.com/36-building-your-personal-caregiving-support-network-9f9639e9ae87

By Rajesh Jethwa, CTO at Digiterre, and co-author of Transform!: The 14 Behaviors Driving Successful Digital Transformation in the Age of Gen AI Modern life runs on an intricate network of technologies so familiar we barely notice them. We see the polished surface of digital services, mobile apps and rapid delivery systems, yet beneath these innovations sits something surprisingly fragile. It is a vast ecosystem of legacy software, outdated infrastructure and deeply embedded organisational routines that were built for a different era. This hidden technology, a blend of code, machinery and human workaround, keeps the world functioning. Increasingly, however, it is showing signs of strain. The more advanced society becomes, the more vulnerable it becomes to failures within this buried architecture. When modern systems falter, the effects can cascade instantly. The British Airways disruption in 2024 made this clear. A single technical fault led to widespread delays and cancellations, stranding thousands of travellers and exposing how dependent airline operations are on tightly meshed systems. Although air travel appears smooth from the outside, its core relies on a patchwork of old and new platforms. When just one piece collapses, everything stalls. Transform, Behaviors Driving Digital Transformation The global CrowdStrike outage offered an even more dramatic demonstration. A flawed update to widely used security software caused computers around the world to crash or lock into endless reboot cycles. Airports, hospitals and corporations all felt the impact. This incident revealed how deeply embedded certain tools have become and how a single error in one system can ripple across continents within minutes. Another example is the UK Post Office Horizon scandal, where faults in an accounting system resulted in wrongful accusations against hundreds of postmasters. This was not only a technology failure but also a failure of change. An organisation that had become overly dependent on a single system assumed that any discrepancy must be human error. When technology becomes unquestionable, it gains authority that can override evidence and experience, with devastating consequences. These events highlight a broader truth. Large scale digital transformation efforts often fail. Studies regularly suggest that between 60 and 70 per cent of such initiatives do not achieve their intended outcomes. Organisations underestimate the complexity of changing systems that underpin everyday operations. They invest in new software without addressing the outdated processes, cultural assumptions and decision making structures that surround it. Technology cannot succeed if it is layered on top of old thinking. High stakes systems are difficult to change because they have become intertwined with human behaviour. Employees develop tacit knowledge that compensates for the shortcomings of old tools. This invisible layer of human patchwork allows outdated systems to survive far longer than they should. The paradox is that these systems seem stable precisely because people are constantly rescuing them. But such arrangements cannot last. As expectations for speed, transparency and security grow, the legacy architecture becomes a bottleneck. Reinvention becomes essential for resilience. The path forward begins with recognising that technology is only one part of the equation. True digital transformation requires rethinking how work flows, how decisions are made and how people collaborate. Organisations need clarity about the purpose their systems must serve today, not the assumptions they inherited from the past. Simplifying processes before upgrading tools reduces complexity and ensures that new technology is not forced to replicate outdated practice. Reinvention also depends on small, continuous experiments rather than large, inflexible programmes. Pilot projects, prototypes and iterative learning build adaptability. They help organisations respond to uncertain...

If you're an entrepreneur who feels stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected — even though you know exactly what to do — this episode will feel like a deep exhale.  Many business owners experience burnout, nervous system overload, and identity shifts right before a major growth phase.   In this episode, Tiffany Carter breaks down why success can suddenly feel heavy, why motivation disappears, and why this isn't a strategy problem — it's an internal recalibration.  RESOURCES MENTIONED:  !!LAST CHANCE!! to apply this year: My Exclusive 2-Month Private Business Coaching Program APPLY HERE (*serious applicants only please)  Join the famous ProjectME Posse Business & Money Coaching Membership HERE  {FREE GIFT-LIMITED TIME} Walk into Your Wealthiest Season walking manifestation series + Guided Wealth Journal GET IT HERE  CONNECT WITH TIFF:  Tiffany on Instagram @projectme_with_tiffany   Tiffany on TikTok @projectme_with_tiffany  Tiffany on YouTube: ProjectME TV  Tiffany's FREE Abundance Email Community: JOIN HERE > The Secret Posse Digest     • Why feeling stuck in business is often a sign of an identity shift, not a lack of discipline or clarity
  • How entrepreneur burnout shows up as procrastination, emotional exhaustion, and self doubt
  • Why motivation disappears right before expansion and what that actually means  • How nervous system overload affects decision making, visibility, and sales
  • Why consuming more strategy can make this phase worse
  • The difference between a breakdown and a breakthrough for business owners
  • Why this season requires regulation, support, and integration instead of hustle    Studies on the nervous system show that the brain resists rapid identity change before it supports it. That means when you're on the edge of growth, motivation often drops before momentum returns.  So if you feel stuck even though you know exactly what to do, this episode is for you. Because what you're experiencing isn't a problem to fix — it's a transition to stabilize. 

در این اپیزود تحلیلی و آموزنده از مدرسه زندگی فارسی، با استفاده از بهانه‌ای به‌نام هوش مصنوعی، به یکی از مهم‌ترین مهارت‌های فراموش‌شده‌ی زندگی می‌پردازیم: توانایی دقیق خواستن و بیان جزئیات خواسته‌ها. مهارتی که در قالب "پرامپت نویسی" در دنیای امروز، هم در کار با هوش مصنوعی و هم در ارتباطات انسانی نقش حیاتی دارد.در این ویدیو می‌آموزیم:چرا ذهن ما اغلب توانایی تجسم جزئیات خواسته‌ها را ندارد؟چگونه کودکی، تجربه‌های عاطفی و فرهنگ ما، زبان خواستن را شکل می‌دهد؟چرا اغلب در بیان اهداف و خواسته‌هایمان دچار تعارف و لکنت می‌شویم؟چگونه با تمرین و شناخت دقیق‌تر واژه‌ها، ایده‌هایمان را به واقعیت تبدیل کنیم؟چیستی و اهمیت «مهندسی دستور» یا Prompt Engineering در هوش مصنوعی و زندگی واقعیچرا خجالت یا پرتوقع بودن، مانع تحقق اهداف ما می‌شود؟چگونه بازخورد (فیدبک) از هوش مصنوعی و دیگران، می‌تواند ما را به بازنویسی مسیر هدایت کند؟این ویدیو تلاشی‌ست برای ایجاد یک نگاه جدید به هنر خواستن، هنر توصیف، و مهارت ساختن ایده در دنیایی که دیگر ابزارها آماده‌اند، ولی واژه‌ها و نیت‌ها هنوز شکل نگرفته‌اند.لینک ویدیوی انگلیسی:https://youtu.be/7Z1XanIyUEA#پرامپت_نویسی #هوش_مصنوعی #توسعه_فردی #مهارتهای_زندگی #مدرسه_زندگی_فارسی #PromptEngineering #AIcommunication #خودسازی #کلمات_دقیق #فلسفه_هوش_مصنوعی #زندگی_آگاهانه #گفتگو_موثر #مهارت_خواستن #AIthinking #درک_عمیق #پادکست #مرور_کتاب#کتاب_صوتی #ایمان_فانی #مدرسه_زندگی_فارسی #تحلیل #مطالعات_میان_رشته‌ای #podcast #interdisciplinary_Studies #iman_fani #persian_school_of_life لینک حمایت مالی:https://hamibash.com/schoolخرید دوره‌های آموزشی در خارج از کشور:https://imanfani.thinkific.comخرید دوره‌های آموزشی در ایران:https://b2n.ir/a19688https://imanfani.comhttps://instagram.com/dr_iman_fanihttps://telegram.me/dr_iman_faniلینک ویدیوی انگلیسی و کانال یوتیوب ورد ولکانhttp://www.youtube.com/@WordVulcanPress Hosted on Acast.

More than 90% of all liquid fuel in Oregon is stored along a 6 mile stretch of the Willamette River just north of downtown Portland known as the Critical Energy Infrastructure hub. Studies have shown that a major earthquake could cause the release of as much toxic liquid as the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, with oil reaching all the way to the mouth of the Columbia River. This fall, the city released a draft proposal to reduce the fuel stored at the site and require seismic upgrades. Eric Engstrom, director of the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, joins us to explain the plan.

Mable, a nineteen-year-old, grew up in a tumultuous home. Her father's instability, expressed through pouting and anger-laced outbursts, created an environment of fear, insecurity, and unpredictability.

Assistant Principal Podcast Content Episode Outline #284: 5-Minute Coaching Teaser:Today we are doing a deep dive into 5-minute coaching. This show is an adaptation of the 45-minute breakout training I frequently do at conferences, like NCPAPA earlier this month. I do have a handout that contains all of the information. If you'd like a PDF of the handout, just email me at frederick@frederickbuskey.com and I'll get it out to you.

Getting a message from you, and being able to respond and connect – for me, that's what it's all about.  We'll begin the show with a couple soapbox moments, then listen to a demo of 5-minute coaching.

Power system flexibility has emerged as a central challenge of decarbonizing the electric power industry worldwide. In China, new coal-fired generation is still being added to meet rising peak loads, and newly-constructed coal plants are required to operate flexibly, but the system still features a relatively low degree of flexibility.

Today we unpack the education experiences of students from the former Soviet Union who have migrated to Canada. My guests are Sarfaroz Niyozov, Stephen Bahry and Max Antony-Newman. For the past few years, they have been working on a research project that has explored the experiences of the high school children with post-Soviet backgrounds in the Greater Toronto Area. The research project strives to improve the education experiences of this under-researched, often misunderstood group of Canadian youth, their parents, and communities who come from the countries of the former Soviet Union. Sarfaroz Niyozov is an Associate Professor in Curriculum, Teaching and Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, where Stephen Bahry is a sessional lecturer. Max Antony-Newman is a lecturer in education at the university of Glasgow. Various articles from their research project will soon published. You can follow the link to their project website to find them. -- freshedpodcast.com/niyozov-bahry-antony-newman/ -- Get in touch!

Studies show more students are arriving at college unable to do basic math, forcing even top universities to offer remedial classes. This is alarming to some because it reveals flaws in our education system and raises concerns about whether America's college graduates will be ready for the workforce. College admissions expert and author Jeff Selingo joins the Rundown's Jessica Rosenthal earlier this week to talk about why test scores are falling, an increasing number of students requesting "special accommodations," and what all these trends tell us about our K-12 school system as well as America's colleges and universities. Selingo also explained why he says technology, legislative changes, “grade inflation,” and other factors have led to what some call an education crisis. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Jeff Selingo.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-11-2025: Dr. Dawn presents colleague Dr. Paul Godin's essay on why US healthcare fails as a market system . She explains that healthcare violates every assumption of functional markets: patients can't compare options during emergencies, information asymmetry prevents informed decisions, demand is inelastic when one has an urgent medical issue, and trust is essential to medicine and in direct conflict with profit incentives. Since 1988's Knox-Keen Act allowed for-profit healthcare, private equity has acquired and stripped hospitals, while administrative costs consume enormous resources fighting over payments rather than providing care. She contrasts this with European models like Switzerland and Germany where everyone must participate, insurers must accept all patients, and profit on basic coverage is limited. She celebrates a vaccination success story: HPV vaccines have reduced cervical cancer by 50% over 30 years. The American Cancer Society now endorses self-collected vaginal samples for HPV screening, with an FDA-approved at-home kit from Teal Health allowing women to skip speculums and traditional Pap smears. Current guidelines recommend screening starting at age 25, with testing every five years after a negative result. Dr. Dawn issues a health alert about multiple hospitalizations in Santa Cruz County from foraged wild mushrooms identified incorrectly by phone apps. She describes cholinergic toxicity symptoms: sweating, excessive salivation, pinpoint pupils, and abdominal cramping—signs requiring immediate emergency care rather than waiting it out. She offers follow-up vaccine advice: "go in wet, then sweat." Hydrate before vaccination, then take a hot Epsom salt bath until sweat runs off your face. This helps eliminate adjuvants that cause post-vaccine fatigue and aches, which are often misinterpreted as catching illness from the vaccine itself. Dr. Dawn expresses alarm that Kennedy's reconstituted ACIP nearly voted to eliminate hepatitis B vaccination at birth. She notes infants exposed to infected mothers have 99% infection rates, with half becoming chronically infected and half of those developing terminal cirrhosis or cancer. Testing pregnant women misses infections acquired during pregnancy, and 12-16% of delivering women have no test records. Major insurers have committed to covering birth vaccination through 2026 despite the panel's actions. She offers holiday microbiome advice from researcher Karen Corbin: increase fiber intake through steel-cut oats, whole grain breads like Dave's Killer Bread, beans, apples, and alternative pastas made from lentils or garbanzo beans. Cooking potatoes ahead and reheating creates resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces inflammation, and even stimulates natural GLP-1 production. Dr. Dawn reviews research proving health insurance saves lives. When the ACA's Medicaid expansion became optional by state, researchers could compare outcomes, finding 8% lower mortality and 19,000 fewer deaths in expansion states over four years. An accidental IRS experiment—sending insurance enrollment letters to only 85% of penalty payers—showed significantly lower mortality among those who subsequently got insured. Studies of gunshot and auto accident victims found uninsured patients died more often despite receiving identical emergency treatment. She concludes with surprising cancer symptoms: chest pain specifically triggered by alcohol consumption may indicate Hodgkin's lymphoma, as vasodilation activates inflammatory chemicals in affected lymph nodes. Fractures from minimal trauma in people without osteoporosis warrant investigation, as 5% of cancers involve bone. Elevated calcium levels double cancer diagnosis risk in the following year and should prompt follow-up testing.

My goal in this episode is for you to walk away knowing your ideal deep dopamine habits.  Those little things you do that make you feel fulfilled and happy and like you are making progress in the ways that you want to.    You know that feeling after you've been on your phone for 45 minutes scrolling or flipping through tabs and you look up and feel kind of empty? Like your brain is tired but you didn't actually do anything? That's cheap dopamine. It's the quick hit. The fast fix. The thing that feels good in the moment but leaves you drained and unfocused. Now imagine the opposite.    You go for a walk, lift weights, write something meaningful, finish a book, or work on something that's important to you. It's not flashy. It doesn't give you the instant rush. But it gives you something way better… calm, clarity, and long-term satisfaction. That's deep dopamine. And today we're talking all about how to stop chasing the quick hits and start training your brain to love the good stuff.     I could not do this without planning my weeks every Sunday… I physically couldn't! Here's the system I created & use & love!  To plan your days and your life with intention…  https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem   What Dopamine Really Is Dopamine is a neurotransmitter. It's often labeled as the pleasure chemical, but it's more about motivation and drive. It plays a key role in what gets your attention and what keeps you engaged. Every time your brain anticipates a reward, dopamine is involved. It's what makes you chase something, whether that's a cookie, a workout, a new follower, or a big goal. It's not the dopamine itself that's the problem. It's where you're getting it from and how often. If you constantly flood your brain with quick and easy sources of dopamine, you make it harder to get motivated for the slower, more meaningful things. Andrew Huberman explains it this way: dopamine is not about the pursuit of happiness, it is about the happiness of pursuit. He also teaches that dopamine is a currency. We are always spending it, and when we use it on things that require no effort, we get very little return. But when we invest it in things like a hard workout or a creative project, the return is stronger and lasts longer. He emphasizes that dopamine is what drives us to act, to seek, to pursue… it is not simply about feeling good. It's about staying in forward motion.   What Is Cheap Dopamine Cheap dopamine comes from fast, easy sources that take very little effort and offer very little reward long term. Some examples of cheap dopamine: Scrolling social media Watching endless TikToks or YouTube videos Snacking out of boredom Clicking for likes or notifications Gossiping or complaining Online shopping for things you don't need Checking your phone over and over without purpose These things feel good in the moment, but often leave you feeling worse later. It's like junk food for your brain… sweet, salty, addictive, and ultimately unfulfilling. Studies show that excessive exposure to short-form content or fast dopamine triggers can lead to decreased attention span, mental fatigue, emotional numbness, and a decreased ability to feel reward from slower, more meaningful tasks. Huberman also talks about dopamine stacking... when you stack multiple sources of cheap dopamine together, like scrolling while snacking while listening to background noise. This overstimulates the reward system and makes it harder for your brain to enjoy simple or quiet activities. You become desensitized, and what used to bring joy now feels flat. That's the cost of too much cheap dopamine.   What Is Deep Dopamine Deep dopamine is the kind of reward your brain gets from actions that require effort, presence, or skill. It builds over time and leads to a longer-lasting sense of fulfillment. Examples of deep dopamine: Strength training or physical exercise Reading a book Writing or creating something Deep, uninterrupted work Learning a new skill Spending intentional time with people you love Completing a long project Volunteering or contributing in a meaningful way These habits take more focus and often feel slower, but they leave you with a sense of momentum and pride. You don't crash after them. You build from them. When you choose deep dopamine, you're making a longer-term investment in your mental clarity, emotional resilience, and sense of purpose. You start feeling calm instead of anxious, proud instead of overstimulated, and you strengthen your ability to focus and follow through. Huberman explains that deep dopamine is often tied to effort. It's the system that rewards you after doing something hard, not something convenient. And that's what makes it powerful. The satisfaction comes from knowing you earned it.   Why This Matters The more often you go for quick, cheap dopamine, the more your brain becomes desensitized to it. Over time, you stop getting the same hit from a scroll or a like, and your baseline dopamine levels drop. It's harder to feel motivated. Harder to feel joy. Harder to stay focused. You might feel like you need constant stimulation to avoid feeling bored or anxious. But when you flip that script and start choosing deep dopamine more often, your brain rebalances. You regain your ability to enjoy slow progress. You stop needing quick distractions and start enjoying the quiet confidence that comes from doing things that matter to you. Research shows that daily engagement in physical activity, creative work, or focused learning helps restore natural dopamine cycles, improve mental clarity, reduce stress, and increase emotional stability. Huberman explains that one of the fastest ways to rebalance your dopamine system is to temporarily reduce cheap dopamine triggers and replace them with effort-based rewards... even small ones. The shift doesn't require massive lifestyle changes. It starts with awareness, then small swaps, and finally momentum.   How to Train Yourself to Choose Deep Dopamine Recognize the patterns. When you feel the urge to scroll, pause and ask yourself what you're looking for. Are you bored? Anxious? Trying to avoid something else? Replace, don't just remove. If you're going to stop scrolling, have something better ready. A walk. A good podcast. A book. A 10-minute workout. Make a plan ahead of time. Don't wait until you're tired and distracted to decide what matters. That's when the cheap dopamine wins. Give yourself permission to enjoy effort. Deep dopamine often comes with friction. It's not always fun in the beginning, but the payoff is real and lasting. Set up your environment to support better choices. Turn off notifications. Put your phone in another room. Put your workout clothes or journal somewhere visible. Celebrate your wins. When you choose deep dopamine over cheap dopamine, take a second to notice how it feels. Reinforce that feeling. Huberman reminds us that the brain changes based on what it's exposed to regularly. Choosing deep dopamine isn't about perfection. It's about consistently reminding your brain what fulfillment actually feels like. The world is full of cheap dopamine. It's built into our apps, our habits, and even our conversations. But you don't have to live in reaction mode. You can train your brain to want the things that give you long-term growth and peace instead of short-term distraction. Start by noticing. Then start swapping. Choose things that challenge you, ground you, stretch you, and make you proud. It won't always be easier in the moment, but it will always be more fulfilling. That's how you create a life that actually feels good to live... one deep dopamine choice at a time.

This is a complete episode of The Ezra Klein Show that I'm posting here, with a note from me at the beginning.Original episode can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-relationships-would-you-want-if-you-believed-they/id1548604447?i=1000644331040What follows is my own reasons for posting this:---We are at a crossroads in our cultures and societies worldwide.In many places, social networks are in tatters. Mental health is abysmal in spots without tight-knit communities -- which, let's face it, is a growing number of places. The nuclear family paradigm has dominated over the past 50-75 years, but does it work?Evidence suggests otherwise.Single adults living alone are so lonely they often experience significant anxiety & depression. Parents are stressed and overwhelmed, with children taking up so much energy and attention that it's hard to connect as a couple (including sex! and other kinds of intimacy). And older adults are either aging alone, or in environments that sap their vitality.Studies show that trends around social isolation hit men particularly hard. According to Gallup, for example, "[Young men in the US] are significantly more likely than their female peers to experience deaths of despair."And: "Americans who experience daily loneliness are significantly less likely to report smiling or laughing ... They are also half as likely to be classified as 'thriving' in life."Let's review that: Lonely people are HALF as likely to be classified as thriving. And what happens when you're not thriving? You're almost always not having great sex, wonderful intimate relationships, or a satisfying love life.So what do we do about this? How do we "fix" the loneliness epidemic?This is the first episode in a series that I will be doing on creative solutions and innovative ideas around not just how we think about relationships, but how we think about living. I don't mean that metaphorically, either; I mean our literal living environments.We've lived separately for too long. I believe it's time to bring the generations back together in meaningful ways, and have more FUN at home.---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

The brain acts in strange ways during wartime. Even in active combat situations, when soldiers are one mistake away from death, many can’t fire on their enemies because their brain is triggering compassion centers against other soldiers. Studies of World War II show that while soldiers were willing to risk death, only 15% to 20% fired their weapons in intense combat, indicating a reluctance to kill. That’s why successful military leaders were able to motivate their soldiers with ideas of unfairness and justice, that their enemies weren’t human to make them better at fighting and killing. All this goes to show that if you want to understand war, you have to understand how the brain makes sense of it. Does war make all of us retreat to our lizard brain and act on pure instinct – so the only way to win is pumping out manipulative propaganda to the masses and use modern technologies like AI and social media exploit the brain's cognitive vulnerabilities? Well, many nations like Russia and China are already using these to their advantage. Or can we bring higher thinking to the matter? Is a researcher like Robert Sapolsky right when he argues that we can stop wars by persuading enough people that it is bad and pointless. Today’s guest is Nicholas Wright, author of “Warhead: How the Brain Shapes War and War Shapes the Brain.” He’s a neuroscientist and advisor to the Pentagon. We explore how our brains respond under pressure and how these instincts can shape everything from battlefield outcomes to boardroom decisions. He argues that while conflict is inevitable, it’s not unmanageable - if we understand how the brain drives fear, trust, aggression, and judgment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
