One of the customs which we observe during the Nine Days – from Rosh Hodesh Ab through Tisha B'Ab – is to refrain from meat. The Mishna establishes that eating meat is forbidden only during the Se'uda Mafseket – the final meal before Tisha B'Ab – but the custom was accepted to refrain from meat throughout the period of the Nine Days (except, of course, on Shabbat). A number of companies today sell synthetic meat – products made from soy or other ingredients but resemble meat, and are eaten as meat substitutes. Are such products permissible for consumption during the Nine Days? Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998) writes that although the concept of Mar'it Ha'ayin – avoiding actions which appear as Halachic violations – forbids eating something which appears prohibited, this rule does not apply to something which is forbidden only by force of Minhag (accepted custom). When something is forbidden by the strict Halacha, then we must be concerned about Mar'it Ha'ayin, but not when it is forbidden only on the level of Minhag. Therefore, Hacham Bension writes, it is permissible during the Nine Days to eat vegetarian products which resemble meat, but during the Se'uda Mafseket, when meat is forbidden on the level of strict Halacha, it may be eaten only privately, but not in public view. Summary: Synthetic meat products – meaning, products which resemble meat but are made from soy or other ingredients – may be eaten during the Nine Days. However, during the Se'uda Mafseket right before Tisha B'Ab, such products may be eaten only in private, but not in a public setting.

Synthetic research is rewriting the rules—and Jon Lombardo is here to explain how.

Imagine a towing world where recovery equipment is 85% lighter yet stronger than traditional steel cables, and where safety hazards like deadly cable recoil become a thing of the past. That future is already here, as this eye-opening conversation with Johnny Sun and Adam Osterloo from Tow Tools reveals.Johnny's journey into the towing equipment industry began with a story straight out of a thriller novel—being monitored by the US Embassy while unknowingly meeting with Japanese mafia members who operated towing companies. This unexpected introduction ultimately led to his founding of Tow Tools, now a leading manufacturer of synthetic recovery equipment that's revolutionizing the industry.At the heart of Tow Tools' offerings are their Super Slings and soft shackles made from Honeywell Spectra—the same ultra-strong material used in bulletproof vests and high-performance marine applications. The technical advantages are substantial: these synthetic alternatives provide equal or greater breaking strength than steel while dramatically reducing weight and eliminating the dangerous recoil effect that has caused countless injuries when steel cables fail under tension.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when exploring the practical applications of these synthetic solutions. Their soft shackles are thoughtfully designed with longer-than-standard lengths to make real-world hookups easier, while their synthetic winch lines offer profound safety improvements. As Adam notes, "The big push that should exist to go to synthetic rope is really based on the safety of the operator and safety of anybody else on scene."For those hesitant to make a complete transition from traditional equipment, Tow Tools offers synthetic winch line extensions as an entry point—allowing operators to experience the benefits firsthand before committing to a full conversion. The consensus among experienced users is clear: once you've worked with these synthetic alternatives, you'll recognize their value extends far beyond the initial price tag.Ready to explore how synthetic recovery equipment could transform your operations?

The research world is never short on headlines, and this week's Intellicast is proof. Brian and Gabby return to break down the latest headlines from around the market research industry. Topping the list is a deep dive into the new whitepaper from Strat7, which compares synthetic data providers using real-world testing methods. The whitepaper finds that while synthetic data performs well on individual questions, it falls apart when you examine the full respondent experience — consistency, internal logic, and key drivers simply don't align with real human behavior. Meanwhile, ESOMAR has updated its Code of Standards in partnership with the International Chamber of Commerce. The revised code introduces major new guidance on: Use of AI and synthetic data Consent and notification protocols Biometric and immersive data collection Inclusivity and the “duty of care” to vulnerable respondents Other major topics in the episode include: Kantar Worldpanel rebranding under Numerator Norstat's acquisition of Sample Solutions, strengthening its global B2B sample reach Rep Data's “No Fly” list to filter out fraudulent respondents using Research Defender NIQ's $1.25B IPO filing, aimed at reducing debt and increasing competitiveness This episode is perfect for anyone trying to stay informed on sample trends, ethics in AI, and what the future holds for insights professionals.

Episode 250: Comcast solved the age-old problem of how to make employee suggestions a powerful, reliable source of value-driving improvements at scale.   Sean McEntire, Comcast's Vice President of Customer Strategy and Operations, explains how the Outer Loop channels every employee elevation—no matter how small—through a disciplined screen, assigns a named owner, and tracks progress in public view. Ninety thousand teammates now feed a single pipeline that forces scattered ideas into accountable hands and verified fixes, solving 7,000 customer pain points so far. A frontline agent's push for an easy‑to‑use, large‑button remote shows the system at work: The idea passed triage in hours, landed on the product team's desk, and shipped nationwide within months—evidence that voices on the floor can reshape the hardware in customers' hands. Once an elevation clears triage, technology, operations, or product leads must respond within set deadlines—accept, reject, or ask for data. Every decision and follow‑up lives on the same dashboard employees use to log ideas, so trust grows with each visible step. As McEntire puts it, “CX is all about transparency. If you're going to be transparent with your customer, you need to be transparent with your teammates.” The result? Faster fixes, rising JD Power and NPS Prism rankings, and a workforce that, 10 years into the transformation, keeps feeding the Outer Loop because they've seen their suggestions become reality.

What if audio was your only signal of trust in a digital world saturated with AI?   In this compelling episode of The ADNA Presents, I spoke with Dr. Tanusree Sharma-assistant professor at Penn State and researcher at the intersection of AI, security, and digital authenticity.   We explored how audio description (AD)-originally designed to make media accessible to blind and low vision audiences-is evolving into a critical signal of trust for everyone. From anime to e-learning, from synthetic voice to stolen identity, this conversation dives deep into what it means to create ethical, empathetic, and secure systems in an AI-saturated ecosystem.   Dr. Sharma's insights for AI leaders are clear:   - How to treat audio when developing AI   - What AI system designs should include   - Who to recognize as pioneers in media literacy   If you work in voice tech, AI policy, or digital storytelling, this episode is a must.

During the Cold War, rival superpowers the USA and the USSR vied with one another for world dominion in many arenas: military, diplomatic, and even haute coture. In the latter connection, French designers played arbiter, judging the synthetic textiles developed under capitalist and communist systems for their value in fashion. In her dissertation project, Monica Geraffo, PhD candidate at the University of California at Los Angeles, discovers why synthetic textiles played such a central role in the Cold War rivalry between political blocs. Using the extensive DuPont company records held in the Hagley Library, Geraffo highlights the shared interests of chemical firms, fashion houses, and political leaders, which aligned around synthetic textiles in the Cold War context. In support of her research, Geraffo received funding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

First up on the podcast, Contributing Correspondent Andrew Curry joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss a pair of Science papers on kinship and culture in Neolithic Anatolia. The researchers used ancient DNA and isotopes from 8000 to 9000 years ago to show how maternal lines were important in Çatalhöyük culture.   ●     E. Yüncü et al., Female lineages and changing kinship patterns in Neolithic Çatalhöyük, 2025 ●     D. Koptekin et al., Out-of-Anatolia: Cultural and genetic interactions during the Neolithic expansion in the Aegean, 2025   Next on the show, researchers were able to make a synthetic material that changes color in the same way squids do. Georgii Bogdanov, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, talks about how his lab was able to discover the subcellular arrangement of proteins in the squid cells and mimic this structure synthetically using titanium dioxide deposition.   Finally, the latest book in our series on science and death. Books host Angela Saini talks with Tamara Kneese about her book Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond and whether our families can turn us into chatbots after we die.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.  About the Science Podcast   Authors: Sarah Crespi; Andrew Curry; Angela Saini Learn more about your ad choices.

“Synthetic voice isn't here to replace humans—it's here to help us talk to each other, in more languages, more clearly, and more naturally.” — Christian Stredicke, Vodia In a forward-looking episode of Technology Reseller News, Publisher Doug Green sits down with Christian Stredicke, founder of Vodia, to discuss one of the most transformational trends in voice technology: synthetic voice and its role in enhancing—not replacing—human communication. Vodia, a provider of secure, cloud and on-premise phone systems, is now embracing AI capabilities to extend its value across global industries. As Stredicke explains, synthetic voice—particularly when combined with real-time translation—can bridge the language gap that has long hindered customer service, especially in call centers. Imagine a caller in the U.S. reaching a support agent who speaks only English. With synthetic voice, that same caller could receive assistance in their native language, such as German, Spanish, or French, via a realistic AI voice—delivering not just words, but tone, accent, and emotion. This model opens the door to broader agent pools and greatly improved customer experiences. Beyond language, the podcast explores the economic and legal implications of synthetic voice, including questions of reliability and responsibility in AI-generated conversations. In high-stakes sectors like banking or healthcare, accuracy and transparency will be essential. But for everyday interactions, the ability to speak to someone in your own language—even if they're a synthetic assistant—can be transformative. Vodia's vision is to integrate synthetic voice through open APIs, enabling businesses to scale multilingual support rapidly and cost-effectively, while preserving privacy and regulatory compliance. “The more we can make communication feel natural—whether human or synthetic—the better the outcome for everyone,” says Stredicke.

Too many women are being told NO to getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for their menopause symptoms in midlife.  But the truth is… the benefits of HRT can WAY outweigh the risks for helping you feel like yourself again. The problem?  The massive knowledge gap in hormonal medicine.   That's why this week, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Louise Newson, a trailblazing general practitioner and menopause specialist who's transforming the conversation around hormone health.  We're diving into the real risks of not prescribing HRT, why hormones can be a game changer for your symptoms, and the surprising link between menopause, migraines, and inflammation.  Dr. Newson is bringing the science and clarity to the HRT convo, and she's here to help you reclaim your voice—and your hormonal health.  Listen here to set the record straight and start advocating for what you truly deserve! Dr. Louise Newson Dr. Louise Newson is a physician, women's hormone specialist, and member of the UK Government's Menopause Taskforce. She's an award-winning doctor, educator, and author, dedicated to raising awareness of women's health in perimenopause and menopause. Dr Louise studied Medicine and Pathology at The University of Manchester in England and worked in hospital medicine before switching to specialize in General Practice and medical writing. IN THIS EPISODE The revolution of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy  Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones  Advocating for yourself and addressing the conversation of hormone replacement therapy options with your doctor  Individualizing hormone replacement therapies  Hormones for addressing conditions like migraine  How hormones affect women's long-term health  HRT for mitigating inflammation in the entire body  Lifestyle suggestions and habits to promote hormonal balance  QUOTES “Let's just remind ourselves that hormones are an evidence-based treatment and the guidelines are telling us that it has more benefits than risks for the majority of women. Yet… It's only a minority of women in our countries and other countries that are receiving it.”  “It's harrowing what people are being told by their clinicians. And they often just want advice. They don't always want treatment, or they want to know the treatment options available to them in the future. But they're not getting any answers, and I think this is a great disservice to women.”  “I see a lot in the clinic, women who have seen all sorts of specialists, have all sorts of treatments, but no one's spoken about their hormones.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Louise Newson's Website Dr. Newson's Instagram Dr. Newson's Podcast Get Dr. Newson's FREE Balance App: Your go-to for Menopause Health  Pre-order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE!  RELATED EPISODES  #647: Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) Isn't Your Mom's HRT + It's One Of The Best Strategies For Longevity with Dr. Amy Killen #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #620: What You Need to Know About Premature Menopause, Perimenopause, HRT and Your Options with Dr. Salome Masghati #605: Breaking the HRT Confusion: The Truth Behind Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopausal Women with Karen Martel
